Sanjita Chanu will finally get her 2018 Arjuna Award after being cleared of doping charges

Two-time Commonwealth Games gold medal-winning weightlifter Sanjita Chanu will finally receive the prestigious Arjuna Award, which she was supposed to get in 2018.

The 26-year-old had won back-to-back gold medals in the 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Games from the 53kg and 48kg categories respectively. She’d applied for the Arjuna Award recognition in 2016 and 2017, but it was ignored on both occasions.

A sports ministry source confirmed that Chanu will be conferred with the Arjuna award as per a 2018 Delhi High Court order, which instructed the selection committee to consider her and maintain the decision in a sealed cover to be disclosed only if she was cleared of the doping charges.

The ministry source told: “Sanjita (Chanu) is absolved of all the doping charges by the international federation, so we will have to abide by the Delhi High Court order and consider her for the Arjuna award,”

Previously, Chanu had filed a writ petition before the Delhi HC challenging the choice to exclude her from the list of those recommended for the 2017 Arjuna Awards. As the case was being heard, she tested positive for a banned substance in May 2018.

However, the High Court, in its arrangement in August that year, instructed the selection committee to consider her for the award and keep its own decision as a secret, waiting for the result of her appeal against dope charges.

The International Weightlifting Federation dropped the doping charge against Chanu because of non-conformities, in the handling of her sample last month. She was notified of the final verdict of the IWF via an email, signed by the world body’s legal counsel Lilla Sagi. She has always said that she didn’t take any banned substance.

Chanu now plans to seek compensation from the IWF for the trauma, she endured. The IWF cleared her based on a recommendation from the World Anti Doping Agency(WADA), following that the national federation wrote to the Ministry of Sports to adhere to the High Court order. 

Indian Weightlifting Federation Secretary-General also confirmed that Sanjita will receive the 2018 Arjuna Award. He said: “It’s confirmed, Sanjita will get her 2018 Arjuna award.”

Video conferencing apps have seen a huge demand after the COVID-19 pandemic started as most people still prefer to stay at their home and continue their work. So, naturally the use of applications like Skype, Zoom and Google Meet has seen a huge spike and among all of them, undoubtedly, Zoom has seen the highest usage of its platform in last couple of months.

In spite of getting into a lot of security concerns and controversies due to its involvement with China, people can’t help using the platform even though they have a lot of alternatives these days. Zoom has still managed to serve as the technological backbone to the world’s transition into remote work and education during this pandemic.

Zoom surpasses AMD in terms of market value, now valued at $67.43 billion

According to the latest reports, Zoom has overtaken large companies such as AMD and Unilever with regards to valuation. When there are lots of other video conferencing applications out there, people appear to enjoy using Zoom, probably due to the features it provides and the fact that it’s completely free to use. Whatever it’s, the business is currently on top of its game as its market value touched a whopping $67.43 billion.

Zoom has grown bigger than giants from a wide variety of sectors: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals ($66.4 billion); Unilever ($64 billion); General Electric ($63.33 billion); CME Group ($62.6 billion); and Colgate-Palmolive ($62.4 billion). Consequently, if Zoom carries on to grow at this rate, it’ll soon surpass major players such as Goldman Sachs and mining giant, Rio Tinto.

With the growth in evaluation, the California based firm saw an enormous rise in the purchase price of its stocks. In accordance with the report, Zoom’s inventory is currently priced at 250% greater than what it was at the start of this year. The cost rose from $68.72 per stock to a whopping $239.02 per stock.

When almost all sectors have been hit due to the pandemic, the free-to-use platform Zoom has managed to skyrocket its usage among users across the globe and in fact, became one of the largest video-conferencing platforms ever. With such progress, Zoom is likely to expand further but will it surpass the likes of Goldman Sachs? that remains a matter to look out for.

TSMC has replaced lost Huawei orders already after the US trade ban

0

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. or TSMC had a strong business relation with China’s Huawei Technologies Co. as the Taiwanese firm formerly sold chips to HiSilicon, with Huawei accounting for about 15% of TSMC’s total business. 

But, following the May directive by the U.S. Department of Commerce, TSMC was forced to cut off all its relationship with Huawei. The U.S. Regulations, passed on May 15, prohibit producers from providing semiconductors to Huawei if U.S. gear is utilized at any point of creation, according to Fortune.

Huawei’s chips are widely used in their smartphones and being the worlds second-largest smartphone manufacturer, it has to have a lot of them to meet its demands. The Huawei’s chip design unit, HiSilicon, also uses American software to create its semiconductors, while components of TSMC’s manufacturing equipment is also made from the U.S., according to Fortune.

Commenting on this Kung Ming-hsin, head of Taiwan’s economic planning agency the National Development Council, said that Washington was worried about a certain firm, not Taiwan’s economic relations with China, Reuters reported. The US mainly targeted Huawei since it lacked transparency and had too close of a relationship with the Chinese authorities, Kung added.

“As for the TSMC, although their orders are no longer Huawei, they have rapidly been filled up, as other individuals actually need them,” Reuters cited Kung as saying. TSMC declined to pass any comment, saying it didn’t comment on its own customers. However, as per leaks heard before, most likely we will see AMD and NVIDIA taking up those spare 7nm chips to use them into their next-gen GPUs.

TSMC has already announced last month that it’d be constructing a US$12 billion semiconductor centre in Arizona while the onstruction is set to start in 2021, on the other hand, with chip production slated to begin by 2024. Indeed a good time for TSMC as they are progressing at a rapid pace, their upcoming target being 5nm production, early stages of 3nm chips, development of 2nm chips and their speculated revelation of 4nm based process as well.
