Sebi gives exit route to mutual fund investors in wound up schemes

Finance

The Securities and Exchange Board of India has said that the units of schemes in the process of winding up will have to be listed on recognised stock exchanges.

Watch: Two arrested after police chase on Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade route

Sports

Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Two suspects were taken into custody after a car chase along the parade route for the Super Bowl LIV champion Kansas City Chiefs, police said. According to a release issued Wednesday by Kansas City police, the incident began at 8:12 a.m. CST when the vehicle broke through a parade barrier. Police deployed stop sticks, which the car struck, but the vehicle kept going down the parade route lined with fans. Videos from the parade showed police making contact with the car before executing a PIT maneuver, a tactic that forces a fleeing vehicle to turn sideways and lose control. Once the car was stopped, police officers immediately surrounded the vehicle. Police said the driver was being investigated for impairment and a search of the car found no weapons. The release said no m...

Cellular energy route finding may improve understanding of aging, chronic disease

Health

Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Scientists have found a cellular route for energy that could shed more light on how humans age and develop chronic diseases. Researchers from the Washington University of St. Louis have uncovered a once unknown path for nicotinamide mononucleotide, or NMN, which helps fuel the human body, according to a new study published Monday in Nature Metabolism. "To achieve such fast uptake of NMN into the tissues, we speculated that there must be a specific NMN transporter that moves NMN directly into cells, even though no one had ever seen such a thing," Shin-ichiro Imai, a professor of developmental biology at Washington University, said in a news release. For this protein highway, the researchers found that cells must create a molecular transport system. First, NMN provides energ...

TESS snaps image of the stars as it swings by the moon en route to its final orbit

Science

May 18 (UPI) -- TESS, or the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, NASA's next-generation planet hunter, snapped a picture of the stars as it swung within 5,000 miles of the moon on Thursday, using the moon's gravity to fling itself toward its final orbit. With the feat, the spacecraft moved closer to the beginning of its scientific mission: photographing transiting exoplanets. The two-second test exposure, captured on Thursday, suggests the planet hunter's cameras are working properly. The plethora of stars in the image -- at least 2,000 of them -- showcases the broad perspective provided by TESS's four cameras. At the center of the image lies the southern constellation Centaurus. While TESS's scientific mission is largely the same as NASA's veteran planet hunter Kepler's -- to take im...
