< Back Rare auroras possible in India as solar storm approaches 8 Jun 2026 A coronal mass ejection is expected to cause strong geomagnetic activity and minor tech disruptions on June 8. A powerful G3‑class geomagnetic storm is expected to strike Earth on June 8, triggered by a fast‑moving coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun. Such storms are strong enough to push auroral activity far beyond the polar regions. Forecasters say auroras may become visible in northern India, as well as parts of Europe and Australia, if atmospheric conditions align, a rare low‑latitude event. The storm is not expected to cause major damage. However, it can lead to minor disruptions in satellite operations, GPS accuracy, and power grid stability due to heightened geomagnetic activity. Global space agencies, including NASA and NOAA, are closely monitoring the CME, issuing alerts and tracking its speed and magnetic orientation to assess potential impacts. In India, only Ladakh and Kashmir may witness the phenomenon. Check out my books, The Black Flames , The Flames Turn White , and crawlers , a poetry collection on KINDLE . Previous Next

< Back Govt mandates full disclosure on all packaged items in retail 16 Jul 2024 Irrespective of the quantity, every packaged item in the retail market must carry complete product details, like ingredients, price, place of origin, and key dates. According to the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, packaged products of more than 25 kg sold in the retail market are exempt from including relevant details on the labels. This is because of the common understanding that commodities above 25 kg were not meant for retail use. The government plans to amend these rules to mandate this disclosure for all commodities, irrespective of size and weight. Mandatory details will include the commodity's common or generic name, maximum retail price, unit sale price, month and year of production, best before or use by date, net quantity, name and address of the manufacturer, importer, packer, and country of origin. With this move, the government aims to standardise the rules and regulations surrounding packaged items and establish consistency and remove bias across brands and their products. However, the new rules will not apply to packaged goods meant for industrial or institutional customers. Previous Next

Poppi a été poursuivi en justice en 2024 pour ne pas avoir une teneur suffisante en prébiotiques pour améliorer la sante intestinale. < Back Pepsi achète le soda Poppi pour 1,95 milliard de dollars Poppi a été poursuivi en justice en 2024 pour ne pas avoir une teneur suffisante en prébiotiques pour améliorer la sante intestinale. Après Culture Pop, Olipop et Simply Pop par Coke, Pepsi s’apprête à se lancer dans l’industrie des sodas prébiotiques. Pepsi a annoncé l’acquisition de Poppi lundi, mais n’a pas encore finalisé la vente. En juin 2024, Kristen Cobbs, de San Francisco, a intenté un procès à VNGR Beverage LLC, le fabricant de Poppi, basé au Texas. Le recours collectif affirme qu'une boîte de Poppi ne contient que 2 grammes de fibres prébiotiques. Cela signifie qu'il faudrait consommer au moins quatre Poppis par jour pour bénéficier des avantages potentiels pour la santé. Cependant, une boîte de Poppi contient jusqu’à 5 grammes de sucre et jusqu’à 35 calories, et l’apport en sucre peut être plus nocif. En 2018, Poppi a conclu un accord avec Rohan Oza sur Shark Tank. Rohan a acheté 25 % des parts pour 400 000 dollars. En 2024, Poppi a enregistré un chiffre d’affaires de 100 millions de dollars. Elle détient 19 % des parts du marché américain, soit 1,5 fois plus que Coke. Ne manquez pas un autre article de SalestorrsNouvelles150.

< Back The Pros and Perils of E20 fuel 18 Aug 2025 India rolled out 20% ethanol-based petrol in July 2025, five years ahead of its 2030 target. India began blending 1.5% ethanol with petrol in 2014, increased it to 10% in 2022, and to 20% in July 2025. It is now available across 1,900 retail outlets. Ethanol emits 65% less CO 2 than petrol and has a higher octane rating (around 108.5). It helps burn petrol better and reduces carbon emissions. Being domestically produced, it reduced India’s oil import dependence and saved ₹1.44 lakh crore in foreign exchange since 2014. Reduced mileage, rust-related damage, and clogged filters are a few issues Indians are reporting due to consistent ethanol usage. Ethanol absorbs moisture, thus accelerating corrosion. Its low energy content causes efficiency reduction. New cars manufactured after 2024 are compliant with E20, but the older versions are not. Non-compatible engines may face corrosion and lubrication issues. As per the government, E20 usage will not void insurance. However, the warranty may be compromised due to fuel compatibility issues.

L'interdiction entrera en vigueur à partir d'octobre 2025. < Back Le Royaume-Uni interdit la publicité pour la malbouffe L'interdiction entrera en vigueur à partir d'octobre 2025. Le gouvernement travailliste britannique interdit les publicités pour les aliments prêts à consommer riches en sucre, en sel et en matières grasses à partir d’octobre 2025. Ces publicités ne peuvent pas être diffusées à la télévision avant 21 heures. Il inclura des annonces en ligne payantes. Cette interdiction vise à réduire l’obésité infantile. Elle concerne les produits de boulangerie, les pizzas, les boissons non alcoolisées ainsi que les aliments surgelés tels que les crèmes glacées. Toutefois, la décision d’ajouter le porridge et le muesli à la liste a suscité des critiques. Les Conservatifs avaient promis l’interdiction en 2021 lorsque Boris Johnson était Premier Ministre. Toutefois, la mise en œuvre a été reportée afin de laisser à l’industrie un peu plus de temps pour se préparer. Leur manifeste comprenait également la promesse d’interdire la vente de boissons énergisantes à forte teneur en caféine aux enfants de moins de 16 ans.

< Back All 14 crew rescued after Indian vessel hit off Oman Coast 14 May 2026 An Indian cargo ship, Haji Ali, sank off the coast of Oman after being hit by a suspected drone or missile while sailing from Somalia to Sharjah with livestock. MSV Haji Ali , registered in Gujarat’s Salaya Port, was struck near Limah around 3:30 am by a suspected drone or missile while sailing from Berbera (Somalia) to Sharjah. It triggered a massive explosion and a fire that destabilised it, causing it to sink. All 14 Indian crew members, including a tandel (second-in-command), managed to send a distress signal and evacuate into lifeboats before being rescued by the Oman Coast Guard and taken safely to Deeba port. The incident has intensified concerns over maritime security amid rising tensions linked to the Iran–US conflict in the Strait of Hormuz. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs called the attack “unacceptable,” stressing that civilian mariners and commercial shipping must not be targeted. No group has assumed responsibility for the attack, and investigations are ongoing. BRICS foreign ministers, including Iran’s, are currently meeting in New Delhi.
