Israeli strikes kill at least 16 people in Gaza, keep up pressure on north
REUTERSA Palestinian woman carries her child near the ruins of a house destroyed in the Israeli military offensive, amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, November 4, 2024. Another strike killed four people in Zawayda in the central Gaza Strip while five more were killed in separate strikes in central and southern parts of the enclave, medics told Reuters. An Israeli government spokesman said no limit had been imposed on aid entering Gaza, with 47 aid trucks entering northern Gaza on Sunday alone. Israeli statistics reviewed by Reuters last week showed that aid shipments allowed into Gaza in October remained at their lowest levels since October 2023. Later, a Hamas commander in Lebanon - killed in an Israeli strike - was found to have had an UNRWA job.

Ambani's Reliance Jio IPO set for 2025, retail debut much later
Reliance Industries' boss Ambani hasn't updated his IPO timelines after saying in 2019 that Reliance Jio and Reliance Retail would "move towards" a listing within five years. The two sources said Reliance has now firmed up plans to launch the Reliance Jio IPO in 2025 as it internally believes it has achieved a stable business and revenue stream in becoming India's No. But the retail business IPO is not expected until after 2025 as the company first needs to address some internal business and operational challenges, said the first source. Reliance, however, aims for the 2025 Jio IPO to be India's biggest ever, overtaking Hyundai India's record $3.3 billion IPO this year, said the first source. Reliance Retail sold around a 12% stake to foreign investors over the same period and raised $7.44 billion.

Ithacan Isolation - The Cornell Daily Sun
It’s times like these that Ithaca really starts to feel isolated — from family, from friends, from the rest of civilization. Cornell can feel like a bubble sometimes, separated from the rest of the world. It’s about homesickness, missing your family, yearning for your childhood, and the feeling of being so far away. And this song in particular (“a minute from home but I feel so far from it”) just fits so perfectly. It is also such a soft, pretty song to close on.
