CCTV's investigation uncovered a number of companies that offer a wide range of virtual backgrounds and special effects to live streamers, catering to their every need and desire. These companies employ teams of skilled graphic designers and video editors who work tirelessly to create realistic and captivating virtual environments that help live streamers attract and retain audiences.

Selcuk Bayraktar, chief technology officer of Turkey’s drone powerhouse Baykar, said on Thursday that Turkish companies now control 65 percent of the worldwide market for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Baykar commands nearly 60 percent of the market all by itself. Bayraktar credited cooperation between Baykar and the Turkish government for the company’s rapid rise to dominance of UAV technology. Selcuk Bayraktar happens to be married to the daughter of Turkey’s authoritarian president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “In 2004, Baykar developed Turkey’s first robotic guidance system and the first mini-UAV when UAVs were not yet known in the world,” he recalled. More breakthroughs followed, including an air combat UAV called the Kizilelma, which Baykar delivered to the Turkish government a year ahead of schedule in 2022, and the famous Bayraktar TB series of ground attack drones, which became one of the hottest arms products in the world after bravura performances in the Armenia-Azerbaijan and Russia-Ukraine conflicts. Bayraktar drones were so devastating in the hands of Ukraine’s defenders that Russian President Vladimir Putin tried to pressure Turkey into banning sales of the platform to Ukraine. Erdogan refused Putin’s demands. The Bayraktar TB-2 is the system that set the world, and many a Russian tank, on fire. At a drone industry event in Istanbul on Thursday, Selcuk Bayraktar said the TB-3 will be equally revolutionary, boasting the ability to take off and land from ships with short runways. Last month, a TB-3 successfully performed both landings and takeoffs from TCG Anadolu, Turkey’s top-of-the-line drone carrier warship. Selcuk Bayraktar commemorated the achievements on social media: “The Bayraktar TB3 became the first combat UAV platform in the world that can take off and land from short-runway ships. The first trials were conducted last month. The Bayraktar TB3 has also started mass production,” he said on Thursday. Pakistan and Bangladesh are among the latest customers for Bayraktar TB2 drones, a development that made rival India very nervous . The Indian military has lately been warning that it will immediately shoot down any Bangladeshi TB2s that drift over the border. At the end of November, the Sudanese army announced it had deployed TB2 drones against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, its opponent in the brutal Sudanese civil war. Another product spotlighted at the Istanbul event was the Bayraktar Akinci , a long-range, high-endurance UAV that can carry enough ordnance to engage ground installations and ships at sea. Guided by satellite navigation, the Akinci can remain airborne for up to 24 hours at a stretch. The Akinci was originally developed for the Turkish military, but Baykar now exports it to customers in ten countries, including Pakistan and Morocco. Morocco’s first delivery of Akinci drones and compatible munitions is expected in February. “Baykar has prepared for the races of tomorrow, not yesterday’s or today’s,” he said, boasting that his company’s philosophy helped it grow to three times the size of its nearest American competitor. On Wednesday, Baykar announced that TB2 drones have accumulated over one million hours in flight, becoming the first Turkish-built combat aircraft to surpass that milestone.

Bajaj MUMBAI: Through its AI initiative - FinAI , a key pillar of Bajaj Finance 3.0 - the company aims to triple lead conversion rates , double back-office productivity, and boost front-line performance by 1.5 times. The company's AI-driven transformation will integrate with its existing cloud and digital infrastructure, said Rajeev Jain, managing director of Bajaj Finance. "We've always been early adopters of technology," he said, adding, "Technology drives revenue growth, reduces costs, and mitigates operational risks. AI will take this a step further by improving customer engagement, lowering operating expenses, and augmenting profitability." Over the past year, the company has tested over 30 AI use cases to validate its effectiveness. "Ninety percent of our computers operate on Microsoft Azure, and our data lake supports hundreds of thousands of variables," he said. "These foundations make AI a logical next step." One significant use case for AI at Bajaj Finance is conversational AI. Jain explained, "Currently, SMS communication is static. With AI, messages will include interactive links. For instance, if a customer clicks a link, they can specify preferences like a smartphone instead of a smart TV. AI will then provide options, specifications, and prices, even connecting them to a dealer... Over the next four years, we aim to reduce operating cost-to-net-interest-margin ratio by 100 basis points." Jain emphasised that AI will complement existing systems rather than replace them. "AI will integrate into our current cloud, data, and digital infrastructure. However, physical processes like KYC and AML compliance will remain essential due to regulatory requirements," he said. Discussing the broader lending environment, Jain addressed concerns around unsecured loans. "Unsecured loans have grown rapidly after Covid, prompting necessary regulatory measures. For us, our product mix has remained consistent over the past decade," he said. He added that recent credit cost increases are a return to pre-Covid norms. "If credit costs were 195 basis points pre-Covid, they went down to 153 last year, and are now at 205-210... it's not a dramatic shift," he said. Ready to Master Stock Valuation?

Your mattress may look clean on the surface but lurking within those layers could be an unsettling amount of dust, dust mites, dead skin cells and allergens. A top quality mattress vacuum can help combat this, but can be expensive. The good news is that the Jimmy JV35 Anti-allergen Mattress Vacuum is 30% off right now, meaning that you can maintain your mattress for less. If you've invested in one of the best mattresses of the year, it's important to protect it against invisible inhabitants and remove them effectively. The Jimmy JV35 Anti-allergen Mattress Vacuum comes with the hygienic combination of UV light sterilization and powerful suction it has been designed specifically to deep clean where standard vacuums just can’t reach. Today's 30% deal brings the price down to $125 (it was $179.99.) It comes with 30 days of returns and free shipping included. So, let’s take a look at why this handheld mattress vacuum is a must-buy before Christmas. Do you need to vacuum your mattress? We recommend regular mattress vacuuming to ensure your mattress is kept clean and allergen free. Over time, mattresses accumulate dead skin, dust mites, sweat, sebum and other allergens — even if you have one of the best mattress protectors on. So regular vacuuming ensures that you remove all those nasties and maintain a hygienic sleep environment. We would recommend you get into a routine when it comes to vacuuming your mattress , doing it each time you change your sheets to ensure you always have clean, fresh bed to sleep on.

Local, independent bookstores have never been more important. With fair access to literature under political attack, bookstores are a bulwark against censorship and an asset to the communities they serve. Each week we profile an independent bookstore , discovering what makes each one special and getting their expert book recommendations. This week we have manager Jennifer Hale of Bear Pond Books in Stowe, Vermont! What’s your store’s story? Bear Pond Books was founded in 1970 in Stowe, Vermont on unceded Abenaki territory, and there were several owners before the current family came into ownership. Susan Adams ran this store with love for many years before passing it down to her daughter, Jennifer Hale, who is the current owner. It is a staple of the town with its long, winding shelves that entice tourists and locals alike. One of our staff members, who identifies as queer, has been working hard to bring more LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC books to our shelves, which we are very excited about. What makes your independent bookstore unique? We are a community of 7,000 in Stowe, and while not everyone knows the staff's names by heart, they all know Staff Pup Tucker, our French bulldog who lives behind the counter. We have tourists who only come in once a year, and they ask after the dog the moment they walk into the store. As a town that was ranked among USA TODAY's best ski towns , Stowe has a lot of tourists and we strive to balance both books for our tourists and books for our locals. We host many author signings throughout the year and use our entire front room to spotlight local and New England authors and creators. What's your favorite section in your store? Check out: USA TODAY's Independent Bookstores Map My favorite section is our Staff Picks spot because our staff has such broad interests. There's always something new and interesting going out that even I would never have checked out otherwise, and it's clear that customers really enjoy being able to talk to a real person one-on-one about books, or even just knowing which person they should go to for a recommendation. It fosters a real sense of connection and has led to people coming back asking for a specific employee whose choices they trust. What book do you love to recommend to customers and why? "A Psalm For The Wild Built" by Becky Chambers. If there was one book I could make everyone in the world read, it would be this one. More self help than science fiction, this book follows a Tea Monk in search of the last crickets. This book is for anyone who has struggled with their purpose or with feeling like they don't deserve something. In the words of Mosscap, a character in the book, “It is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live.” What book do you think deserves more attention and why? "A Council Of Dolls" by Mona Susan Powers. This book left me speechless. Achingly beautiful and heart-breakingly honest, this book is a work of art. Following three generations of Yanktonai Dakota women and their experiences with “Indian Boarding Schools,” this book is an incredible work about resilience, love, healing, and the different ways trauma can echo through generations. It speaks to a section of our history too many people are not aware of and need to acknowledge. Why is shopping at local, independent bookstores important? Shopping locally is always important – you know where your money is going and who it's supporting, unlike with big corporations. Local independent bookstores are even more important in this age of surging book bans. We will almost always have a more diverse collection of books, and are always more than happy to track down a book we don't have on our shelves. Bookstores provide community spaces for everyone, and (ideally) are a place where all are welcome to learn about whatever they want. What are some of your store's programs or partnerships coming up this quarter that you would like to share? Below is a list of our upcoming Author events for December & January. Author Events typically feature Vermont and New England authors and it allows for customers to meet the author, learn more about their books, ask questions and take home a signed copy. December 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Dec. 14: Gina Tron, author of "Suspect"1 p.m.-3 p.m. Dec. 14: Ellen Parent, author of "After the Fall" January 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Jan. 25: Susan Edwards Richmond, author or "Night Owl Night"
