240 ITI students participate in skill training initiative for job opportunities abroad
The Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC), in collaboration with Project Sarva Sethu, has launched a virtual skill training initiative to prepare ITI (Industrial Training Institute) students for employment opportunities in Germany. The programme was inaugurated by G. Ganesh Kumar, APSSDC Managing Director on Monday. Mr. Ganesh Kumar stressed the importance of learning German as a gateway to global careers and acknowledged the initial challenges of language acquisition, but assured students of full support from expert trainers. He also appreciated the involvement of Telugu-speaking professionals in Germany, who will mentor students as they adapt to international environments. More than 240 students from 14 ITI colleges participated in the first session titled 'Deutsch Level A1 – Alphabets and Pronunciation', on Monday. Project Sarva Sethu, founded by Rahul Kumar, focuses on bridging gaps between skills, cultures, and global opportunities. Through language and cultural training, the initiative empowers India's skilled and semi-skilled workforce to succeed internationally, particularly in Germany. 'Our mission is to empower India's workforce through tailored language and cultural training, ensuring participants are fully equipped to thrive globally,' said Mr. Rahul Kumar.

MEP: Fast-tracking Ukraine into EU is not about enlargement or peace, but about Brussels being directly involved in war
Fidesz MEP Tamás Deutsch told a European Parliament plenary in Strasbourg on Wednesday that fast-tracking Ukraine into the EU is not about enlargement or peace, but about Brussels being directly involved in the war. Deutsch said Brussels bureaucrats were 'forcing the war doctrine' and were 'not bothered about the fate of Ukrainians'. Rather, they assumed the mantle of a 'great power' and wanted a military victory 'at any cost'. Yet Europeans wanted peace and rejected Ukraine's fast-tracked EU accession 'with disastrous economic consequences', he said, noting that Hungary is holding a referendum to gauge people's opinion on the matter. Fidesz MEP Kinga Gál also addressed the plenary, noting that the EU has financed Ukraine to the tune of more than 150 billion euros while 'hundreds of thousands have died' on the battlefield. 'This is the failed balance sheet' of Europe's strategy, she said. The EU must take action to secure a ceasefire and a lasting peace while supporting diplomatic efforts aimed accordingly, she said. Gál said left-liberal and EPP politicians had hijacked the legitimate goal of developing European defence capabilities to give Ukraine 'even more weapons and money', while this was against Europe's interests. Neither was it in Europe's interests to give Ukraine EU membership by 2030 purely for political reasons, she said, adding that opening the country to the EU's internal market before it met accession conditions was equally unacceptable.

Recipe: Surprise mom with a large, puffy, eggy baked Dutch Baby, filled with smoked salmon
Serves 4 Dutch baby, a large, puffy, baked eggy pancake, is perfect for a Mother's Day brunch. As the story of its origin goes (true or not, food legends persist), in Seattle in the early 20th century, Manca's Cafe served German pancakes. The owner's daughter could not pronounce the word ''Deutsch'' (which means German), so the specialty became Dutch Baby. It's a nice story, but the big pancake goes by another name in Germany, writes Karen Lodder on the blog German Girl in America. She says that the traditional large German pancake, called pfannkuchen, is always cooked on top of the stove. In Austria, kaiserschmarrn, also a large round, is cooked in the oven, then torn up for serving. The Finns make pannukakku, plate-size pancakes. A sweet Dutch Baby has a little sugar in the batter and is often served with fruit and powdered sugar, but there are plenty of savory possibilities. Here, a small amount of buckwheat flour (or whole-wheat) is added to all-purpose flour to create an earthy quality that pairs beautifully with smoked salmon. Heat a skillet in the oven until it's very hot while you make the batter. Swirl some butter around the bottom and sides of the hot pan, pour in the batter, pop it into the oven, and wait. The pancake emerges with a dramatic but ephemeral puff and the pancake flattens after a minute or two. That's your invitation to fill the hollow with thin slices of salmon, sweet and crunchy pickled red onions, and lots of fresh herbs. ONIONS ⅓ cup distilled white vinegar ¼ cup water 3 tablespoons sugar ½ teaspoon kosher salt ½ large red onion, halved and thinly sliced 1. In a microwave-safe bowl or heatproof class measuring cup, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Cover loosely with a paper towel. Microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves. Alternatively, in a saucepan, bring the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. 2. Remove the bowl from the microwave. Stir in the onions. Cover again with the paper towel and return to the microwave to cook for 1 minute. Let stand, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, or until cool. Stovetop alternative: Add the onions to the saucepan, return the liquid to a boil, cook for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and leave the onions in the brine to cool. PANCAKE 4 eggs ¾ cup whole milk 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted ½ cup all-purpose flour ¼ cup buckwheat flour, whole-wheat flour, or extra all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 3 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon, torn into 3-inch pieces, if large Few sprigs fresh parsley Few sprigs fresh dill ½ cup sour cream (for serving) 1 lemon, cut into wedges (for serving) 1. Adjust an oven rack to the center position. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Set a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (such as cast-iron) in the oven to heat for 15 minutes, or until very hot. 2. In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, all-purpose flour, and buckwheat, whole-wheat, or extra all-purpose flour with the salt. Blend on high speed until frothy and thoroughly combined. 3. Remove the skillet from the oven carefully. Keep a potholder on the handle to remind you that it's hot. Swirl the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the hot skillet. Pour in the batter. Sprinkle the top with chives. 4. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and lightly browned. 5. Remove the pancake from the oven. (Keep a potholder on the handle.) When it deflates, fill it with smoked salmon, dill, parsley, and a few of the pickled onions. 6. Serve with sour cream, lemon wedges, and extra pickled onions. Sally Pasley Vargas Serves 4 Dutch baby, a large, puffy, baked eggy pancake, is perfect for a Mother's Day brunch.

ESPN, ‘SportsCenter' and Understanding the Power of Sports Fandom
To understand how diffuse the world of sports media has become, look no further than ESPN's 'SportsCenter.' ESPN's flagship newscast airs multiple iterations throughout the day on linear platforms. It has dedicated social content across major platforms including Snapchat. It also has its own 'SC+' tile on Disney+ for a version that is aimed at younger and more casual sports fans. 'SportsCenter' aims to find its audience where they are — and it's about to get even more personal, as Jo Fox, ESPN's senior VP of marketing, explained during the 'Understanding the Power of Sports Fandom' session at the Variety Entertainment Marketing Summit presented by Deloitte. More from Variety How to Watch UFC Fight Night: Machado Garry vs. Prates Live Online Without Cable The Catch-22 of Modern Marketing Campaigns: 'We Are Targeting Our Way to Oblivion' Variety's Entertainment Marketing Summit Takeaways: How to Activate Fandoms, Engage with the Creator Economy and Reach Gen Z Consumers In a conversation with Adam Deutsch, managing director of Deloitte Consulting, Fox noted that ESPN's upcoming launch as a digital standalone outlet will bring even more customization to the show. 'It will shortly be a personalized 'SportsCenter' for you as we go direct to consumer,' Fox said. 'The way we try and do that is we are well placed to serve all those audiences in a broad area, but we think about what's the talent we use, what are the brands that we do, and how do we make sure we're serving fans, delivering the information they want, but in the way they want it on the platform and in the tone that they want it in.' Fox noted that ESPN reached some 200 million adults in March on its digital platforms alone; ESPN's social team generates some 400 to 500 clips a day. Clips are a crucial way to reach millennial and Gen Z sports buffs. 'That younger generation wants to see clips even if they're not watching the live sport,' Fox said. 'It's also about giving them not just the news they need to know about sports, but also what they want to know about pop culture.' Deutsch observed, 'When you have the production engine that ESPN has, you can be there in a way that is relevant and authentic to those platforms.' Deloitte's reseach has found that some 40% of Gen Z consumers say access to live sports is the motivator that gets them to subscribe to a streaming platform, Deutsch added in the conversation moderated by Andrew Wallenstein, president and chief media analyst for Variety Intelligence Platform. On the other hand, Deutsch noted, some 27% of consumers say they don't need to subscribe to sports-centric services because they can get all the clips and highlights they want across free TV and digital outlets. 'They're so busy with gaming and podcasts and radio and TV and everything else that they actually say, 'I have so much access to highlights. I can still do the things that I want, but I don't necessarily have to subscribe because it's frictionless to get the highlights that keep me invested in the sports that I'm passionate about.' So there's the yin and the yang of what we see there,' Deutsch said.
