8-week-old kitten found in car engine available for adoption
Meet Chevy, an 8-week-old kitten that is looking for a forever home. Chevy was found after a resident in Belmont heard mewing coming from their vehicle. The Good Samaritan popped the hood to investigate, and accidentally frightened him, who then ran into an old fox den. A Belmont Animal Control Officer used a YouTube video of a kitten mewing to lure Chevy out, and was able to safely handle him and place him in a carrier for transport. Chevy was brought to ARL's Dedham Animal Care & Adoption Center, where he received a veterinary exam and a quiet place to decompress from his ordeal. Chevy was not hurt while being in the engine compartment. Chevy is available for adoption and can be seen at ARL's Boston Animal Care & Adoption Center, which is open to the public from 1-6 p.m. Download the FREE Boston 25 News app for breaking news alerts.

Attock Refinery temporarily shuts main crude facility amid crude unavailability
Attock Refinery Limited (ARL), a key player in Pakistan's downstream petroleum sector, has temporarily shut down its main crude distillation unit amid low crude oil availability. The listed refinery shared the development in a Tuesday notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). 'We wish to inform you that ARL has shut down its main crude distillation unit (32,400 BPSD [barrels per stream day] capacity) due to very low crude stocks,' read the notice. The distillation unit will remain shut till June 01, 2025. The refinery shared that the shutdown is due to insufficient crude oil availability from local oilfields, which has disrupted the refinery's operations. Attock Refinery denies sale rumours, share price plummets 'Owing to imported liquefied natural gas (LNG), there has been persistent high SNGPL system pressure, resulting in forced curtailment of gas production from local oilfields. This has also resulted in a reduction of crude oil production and supplies to ARL from the oilfields,' the company stated. At the time of filing this report, the share price of ARL was hovering at Rs664, a loss of Rs4.49 or 0.67%. Attock Refinery was incorporated in Pakistan on November 8, 1978, as a private limited company and was converted into a public company on June 26, 1979. It is principally engaged in the refining of crude oil. The company is a subsidiary of the Attock Oil Company Limited, England, and its ultimate parent is Coral Holding Limited (a private limited company incorporated in Malta).

Virtual Eye wins 4th Sports Emmy
Winning Emmy awards never gets old, it seems. Virtual Eye, the sports division of Dunedin company Animation Research Ltd (ARL), has just won its fourth Sports Emmy award at the 46th Annual Sports Emmy Awards ceremony in New York. And Virtual Eye commercial and production executive vice-president Ben Taylor said, given the company's trajectory, there could be more in the future. It collaborated with several other technology companies around the world to provide groundbreaking cover of the 2024 PGA Tournament using drones. For that, it won the George Wensel Technical Achievement Award, beating other companies working on other large-scale sporting events, including the XXXIII Olympic Games (Immersive Audio at Scale), the NFL (StatusPro Visualizer VR Technology) and Thursday Night Football (AI Feature Latency). The award recognises the biggest leaps ahead in technical achievement in sports broadcasting. Mr Taylor said its new technology allowed golf viewers to get up above the trees and see the makeup of the course and where the ball was going — all in real time. "So, in the event, we would fly the drone up above the trees, and about three seconds after the player hits the ball, there's a predictive circle that animates where the ball's going to land. "It allows viewers to get above the trees and see around the corner of the dog leg." The technology allowed the company to "tell the whole story of the game", and it had resonated with the viewers, he said. "Although it was a very, very technical achievement, the whole thing for us is around storytelling. "And that's the reason I think it won, because what it allowed the broadcaster to do is to show all of the graphics people are used to seeing, but from a live drone. "That's never been done in golf before." None of the companies involved in the project went to the awards ceremony in New York, Mr Taylor said. The award was accepted on their behalf by representatives from the Professional Golfers' Association of America (PGA). "Getting one Sports Emmy is an amazing achievement. Getting our fourth — it's incredible. "Again, I think it's kind of recognition of the work that the team is doing down here, that we can stay so consistent and so relevant on the leading edge of innovation, from here in Dunedin. "I think it's a blueprint for other companies working in Dunedin, working in New Zealand and working globally. "I think that's probably the most satisfying thing about it." The team were "very proud" of the achievement, Mr Taylor said. "And I don't think we're done yet either. "The team continues to push the boundaries and I think that's why we've been recognised these four times, and why hopefully we'll be recognised again in the future as well. "Winning awards like this never gets old."
