Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan marked his 60th birthday on Sunday, prompting congratulations from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. She posted wishes on X for the cinema icon, calling him her brother and praising his contributions to Indian film.
Banerjee has publicly supported Khan before. In July, she expressed worry after reports surfaced about muscle injuries he sustained while filming his upcoming project King. The actor traveled to the United States for medical care and paused production for about a month. Their friendship extends beyond politics, as Khan co-owns the Kolkata Knight Riders cricket franchise, which plays in West Bengal's capital city. The team has captured three Indian Premier League championships in...
A tour operator and three conservation groups have instructed court officials to seize eight mining permits held by Timoteus Mashuna near Khorixas after he allegedly refused to pay court-ordered legal fees. Ultimate Safaris, along with Doro Nawas and Uibasen Twyfelfontein conservancies, won an interdict against Mashuna's operations at Goantagab Mine, with the High Court awarding them 52,950 Namibian dollars in legal expenses on October 23, 2024.

Author Tony Robbins has said that consistency turns average performance into excellence, a concept that applies directly to building wealth through regular deposits.
This year's campaign theme, Money on Your Mind, frames saving as more than emergency preparation. The practice now involves retirement accounts, investment strategies and digital micro-savings applications rather than simply setting aside cash. Bank Windhoek promotes self-service and digital tools to help customers manage accounts efficiently, while its...
Taylor Wessing will separate from its Hong Kong operation, which will become an independent practice next month. The Hong Kong office will operate under the name H.M. Chan & Co after the split takes effect on Nov. 17, though both firms plan to maintain a working relationship.
H.M. Chan & Co. joined Taylor Wessing's Swiss Verein structure in 2021 following an earlier association arrangement. Mark Chan established the firm in 2015 and said the partnership with Taylor Wessing spans more than a decade. The separation follows a pattern of Western law firms reducing their China market footprint, similar to Mayer Brown's December split from its Chinese branch that relaunched as Johnson Stokes & Master.
