Flooding in West Bengal has led to three deaths, while severe beach erosion has been witnessed in Orange county Flooding around the city of Malda in the Indian state of West Bengal since Thursday has had a devastating effect. So far, three deaths have been recorded and many areas are still flooded, with numerous villages affected, along with the region of Bhutni. Erosion from the flooding, reported from Khaskol, led to a disruption in river flow which led to a more severe impact in Bhutni. More than 100 boats have been sent out for evacuation. At East Basudevpur, a 20ft (6-metre) embankment collapsed, reducing the channel from 550ft to under 150ft, which could lead to further flooding unless repaired. This flooding resulted after the Ganges River rose about 75cm above its “extreme danger” level owing to heavy rainfall. Continue reading...

Tina McKenzie obituary

My mother, Tina McKenzie, who has died aged 99, was an artist whose role as a diplomat’s wife led to her living all over the world during profound political and social change. She arrived in India with her husband, Roderick, so that he could take up his posting in 1948, a year after partition. Next came South Africa, during the time of Harold Macmillan’s visit in 1960 and his “Wind of Change” speech signalling a shift in British policy towards apartheid. In Sri Lanka (Ceylon) in the mid-1960s, Tina witnessed violence between the Tamils and Sinhalese, but also the wonder of the annual Perahera procession. Continue reading...

Here's When iOS 27 Rolls Out in Every Time Zone

Apple is about to release iOS 27 , which will finally deliver more advanced Siri AI capabilities as well as a variety of other refinements, improvements, and new features to iPhones. It's Apple's biggest software update of the year, and Apple announced at Wednesday's iPhone event that it will be releasing ‌iOS 27‌ sometime tomorrow – Monday, September 14. ‌iOS 27‌ won't be the only release on Monday, as macOS Golden Gate and other releases in the OS 27 family will also drop around the same time as ‌iOS 27‌. Based on past releases, the update is likely to drop at around 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time/1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Apple's own websites for countries around the world also suggest a 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time release, with Apple's site for India listing a September 14 launch while the company's pages for Singapore, Hong Kong, and others in that region list a September 15 release. That points to a narrow release window around 10:00 a.m. Pacific to line up with time zones where it will be after midnight in some of those countries. To give iPhone users globally an idea of when ‌iOS 27‌ should become available as an over-the-air update, we've compiled the below list of time zone conversions for several countries. This list isn't exhaustive, so please verify the exact time for your specific location, and bear in mind that there could always be a delay as Apple prepares its servers for rollout. Australia (Western) - 1:00 a.m. AWST (Tues) Australia (Eastern) - 3:00 a.m. AEST (Tues) Austria - 7:00 p.m. CEST Baltic countries - 8:00 p.m. EEST Belgium - 7:00 p.m. CEST Brazil East - 2:00 p.m. BRT Canada (Pacific) - 10:00 a.m. PDT Canada (Eastern) - 1:00 p.m. EDT Canada (Atlantic) - 2:00 p.m. ADT China - 1:00 a.m. CST (Tues) Denmark - 7:00 p.m. CEST Finland - 8:00 p.m. EEST France - 7:00 p.m. CEST Germany - 7:00 p.m. CEST Hong Kong - 1:00 a.m. HKT (Tues) India - 10:30 p.m. IST Indonesia (Western) - midnight WIB (Tues) Ireland - 6:00 p.m. IST Italy - 7:00 p.m. CEST Japan - 2:00 a.m. JST (Tues) Luxembourg - 7:00 p.m. CEST Netherlands - 7:00 p.m. CEST New Zealand - 5:00 a.m. NZST (Tues) Norway - 7:00 p.m. CEST Poland - 7:00 p.m. CEST Portugal - 6:00 p.m. WEST Puerto Rico - 1:00 p.m. AST Saudi Arabia - 8:00 p.m. AST Singapore - 1:00 a.m. SGT (Tues) South Africa - 7:00 p.m. SAST South Korea - 2:00 a.m. KST (Tues) Spain - 7:00 p.m. CEST Sweden - 7:00 p.m. CEST Switzerland - 7:00 p.m. CEST Taiwan - 1:00 a.m. CST (Tues) UAE - 9:00 p.m. GST United Kingdom - 6:00 p.m. BST United States (Pacific) - 10:00 a.m. PDT United States (Mountain) - 11:00 a.m. MDT United States (Central) - noon CDT United States (Eastern) - 1:00 p.m. EDT Be Prepared to Wait When ‌iOS 27‌ and iPadOS 27 become available as an over-the-air update, make sure your device is fully charged before you start the process over Wi-Fi, as it may take some time to complete. To check that the update is available, go to Settings ➝ General ➝ Software Update , and wait a moment for your device to contact Apple's servers. If you're in no rush, you can wait for ‌iOS 27‌ to be delivered to your iPhone when you next plug it into your computer. iOS 27 Supports iPhone 11 and Newer, Says Apple Which iPhones Support Every iOS 27 Feature? On that note, a word of caution: During the initial rollout of major software updates like ‌iOS 27‌, Apple users may experience slower download speeds and sluggish performance when trying to update their devices. This is largely due to the high demand on Apple's servers, as millions of users worldwide attempt to download the update simultaneously. The surge in traffic can overwhelm network capacity, leading to delays in downloading or installing the update. To avoid these potential issues, you may want to wait a day or two before installing the update, allowing server congestion to subside and ensuring a smoother upgrade experience.
