TOKYO: Oil prices slid more than 1 per cent on Tuesday, extending losses that began last week, as expectations that OPEC would agree to raise oil supply in a meeting this week added to pressure and worries over slowing demand in China dampened sentiment. Brent crude dropped 70 cents, or 1.1 per cent, to $62.99 a barrel by 0457 GMT, after losing 1.1 per cent the previous day. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 71 cents, or 1.2 per cent, to $59.93 a barrel, having lost 1.4 per cent on Monday. They both touched the lowest in more than one week. Expectations that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, a group known as OPEC+, would boost oil output from April are pushing prices lower, said Satoru Yoshida, a commodity analyst with Rakuten Securities. "Concerns over an increase in OPEC+ supply and an end of Saudi Arabia 's voluntary cut of 1 million barrels per day (bpd) this month weighed on oil prices," he said. The group meets ... » Learn More about Oil slides 1% on fears over higher OPEC supply, slower China demand

Silent guns on LoC raise hopes of peace
An agreement between India and Pakistan, however tenuous, has its own meaning and impact. IMAGE: Indians soldiers at the Line of Control, the border separating India and Pakistan. Photograph: PTI Photo Winds of change have begun to blow in different parts of the world in the end of February 2021, with some potential for major changes in the future. Chinese troops have agreed to mutual withdrawal in the Pangong sector in Ladakh without any particular gain. President Joe Biden launched his first attack abroad, against Iranian supported areas in Syria, justifying it as a warning to Iran. In a delicate balancing act, he has imposed sanctions on certain individuals in Saudi Arabia for the gruesome murder of Jamal Khashoggi , without personally hurting the mastermind. And, surprises of surprises, India and Pakistan have pledged to honour the 2003 cease fire agreement without any apparent provocation. It looked more like formalising a de facto situation as the ... » Learn More about Silent guns on LoC raise hopes of peace
Heard of heutagogy education? Chennai-based Beyond8, an alternative to school, tells you what it is
How would you like to study out of a beach house today? Or amidst horses at a farm? Or at a plant nursery? Sounds baffling? Raaji Naveen and Naveen Mahesh, the founders of Beyond8 in Chennai, vouch that this is an effective way of teaching children. For them, the whole of the city is a learning space. There is no one centre. The couple is a believer and practitioner of heutagogy, which means self-determined learning. Though Chennai has a lot of alternative schools, there is no heutagogical high school, says Raaji. This led them to introduce this concept of education in Chennai last year. Students can get started on this after they complete Class VIII. “It’s an alternative to school. They can have a full time learning that helps them live meaningfully and learn things that they love,” says Naveen. NIOS, ICGSE/AS & A Levels, and GED (Common Core) are the only curricula that they currently offer. In school education, quite a bit is determined for students by those in ... » Learn More about Heard of heutagogy education? Chennai-based Beyond8, an alternative to school, tells you what it is
