Stocks to buy under ₹100: Experts recommend five shares to buy today — 2 June 2025
Stocks to buy under ₹ 100: After showcasing a strong rally on Friday, the Indian stock market lost momentum and ended lower in the first session of the June 2025 series. The Nifty 50 index ended 82 points lower at 24,750, the BSE Sensex finished 182 points lower at 81,451, while the Bank Nifty index added 203 points and closed at 55,749. Trading volumes on the NSE cash market were sharply higher by 57% compared to the previous session, mainly due to MSCI rebalancing-related trades. For the week, the Nifty registered a minor decline of 0.33%. The Mid-cap and small-cap indices once again showcased their outperformance relative to the benchmark, though they, too, ended marginally lower. The Nifty Midcap 100 Index fell by a mere 0.06%, while the Nifty Small-cap 100 Index corrected by just 0.03%. Market breadth turned negative, with declining stocks outpacing advancing ones, as indicated by a BSE advance-decline ratio of 0.84. On the Indian stock market's outlook today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research—Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "We expect markets to maintain their positive momentum in June on the back of strong Q4 GDP numbers, hopes of RBI rate cut, and consistent institutional inflows." Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "The Nifty 50 index witnessed another session of consolidation near the 24,700 to 24,800 zone and with the bias maintained intact, can expect for further rise once a decisive breach above the 25,000 zone is confirmed, with upside targets of 26,300 and 27,200 levels achievable in the coming days. As mentioned earlier, on the downside, the 24,500 zone is positioned as the important and strong support level which needs to be sustained to maintain the overall bias intact." "The Bank Nifty index witnessed a significant pullback in the second half to gather strength and closed near the important hurdle at the 55800 zone with bias improving and anticipating a breakout above the 56,000 zone with strength indicated and can trigger for fresh upside targets of 57,700 and 60,300 in the coming days. As mentioned earlier, the near-term support shall be maintained near the 54500 zone, which needs to be sustained as of now," said Shiju Kuthupalakkal.

Seattle Public Schools is phasing out its gifted and talented program — find out why
Seattle Public Schools to phase out HCC program amid equity concerns. (AI Image) Seattle Public Schools (SPS) has decided to dismantle its gifted and talented program, sparking widespread debate among parents, educators, and the community. The decision, which began in 2021, aims to phase out the highly capable cohort (HCC) schools by the 2027-2028 school year, citing racial disparities in the program's demographics as the primary reason. The program, designed for students scoring in the 98th percentile or higher, previously served advanced learners at 11 specialized schools, including three elementary, five middle,_green and three high schools. However, a 2020 SPS task force report highlighted a significant overrepresentation of white and Asian students, prompting the district to prioritize racial equity over the continuation of the program. Addressing racial gaps in education The SPS task force noted that the Seattle community expressed discomfort with the racial disparities in the HCC schools, where white and Asian students dominated the enrollment. Fox News reported that the program was among the least diverse in the U.S., with limited access for underrepresented groups. Critics argue that the program's structure, which often required parents to transport children to testing centers on Saturdays with only one opportunity to qualify, favored more privileged families who could afford private testing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Spacious 2, 3 & 4 BHK Homes at ₹88 L+* in Pune Dosti Greenscapes Learn More Undo In response, Washington state introduced a law mandating universal testing to identify gifted students from all backgrounds. Anticipating an influx of students, SPS opted to close the HCC schools and integrate gifted learners into mainstream classrooms under a new 'highly capable neighborhood' model starting next school year. However, doubts persist about the district's ability to deliver on its promise of specialized instruction for these students. Financial and educational implications The decision also has financial underpinnings. According to parent Parmar, the cost per student at Cascadia Elementary, an HCC school, was approximately $7,000—about 50% less than many neighboring schools. Despite this efficiency, SPS is replacing the program with what some, like parent Kiley Riffell, call 'empty promises, zero plan, and zero funding.' Teachers are now tasked with creating individualized learning plans for every student, a requirement many believe is unfeasible due to limited time and resources. Potential consequences for students Parents like Katie McAllister, whose son learned to read at age 4, worry about the impact on gifted learners. She described the program as a 'lifesaver,' noting that her son would have struggled in a regular classroom. Critics warn that this move could disproportionately harm low-income gifted students, as wealthier families may opt for private schools or better districts, leaving others in under-stimulating environments. As the debate continues, the decision underscores the tension between equity and educational excellence in public schools. Ready to empower your child for the AI era? Join our program now!

HCC, Dean Tech team up to teach green tech, construction to jobseekers
SPRINGFIELD — Holyoke Community College and Dean Technical High School are teaming up for a new, free seven-week green tech and construction program that's already getting a diverse, inaugural group of trainees prepped for the workforce. 'We like to call it a three-in-one introductory program. It is an introduction to green construction and electricity, and how those are applied to clean energy systems, such as solar panels and EV chargers,' said Mary Wagner, HCC clean energy training manager. Trainees in 'Introductory Training Green Construction, Electricity and Clean Energy Systems' can earn some Occupational Safety and Health Administration construction safety credentials, while learning green building, hand and power tool use, electrical concepts and circuitry. The free program is paid for with a two-year, $832,000 state grant that HCC received in 2024 for climate-related workforce training initiatives. HCC was the only institution in Western Massachusetts to receive this funding, which was part of a $3.4 million allocation from the Healey-Driscoll administration. Four Dean Tech educators teach the program. On top of having teaching experience, they also have worked in the field and have union knowledge. Wagner said students have conveyed to her that these well-liked instructors have created a helpful, friendly learning environment. Starting July 7 through Aug. 1, there will be two free, four-week programs to train workers for jobs in the clean energy sector and prepare students for careers in one of Massachusetts' fastest-growing industries. The green construction, electricity and clean energy systems program will shift from evenings to Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. In addition, the schools will run a weatherization-intensive training program. Those classes will meet at Dean Tech and HCC on Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. During this four-week program, trainees will learn proper tool use and techniques for air sealing, weather stripping, insulating, spray foaming, and controlling building moisture and ventilation. All of these measures reduce energy costs by increasing the energy efficiency of buildings. State Rep. Patricia Duffy said this kind of program is exactly what her constituents need, and what the city needs. 'It's what people of all ages are looking for. Holyoke Community College is following high-demand industries,' said Duffy. 'Holyoke is getting a lot of attention for clean energy companies coming to the city, and we want companies to come and hire local people.' Students who complete the program will be eligible for work in construction, can apply for a paid electrician apprenticeship program or enroll in further training as a clean energy technician. Programs like these reflect the state's priorities of closing the skills gap and creating pathways into high-demand industries. HCC works with multiple community and employer partners to ensure their trainees receive assistance to secure employment or further education. Local assistance programs and employers include places like the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, Springfield Works, Green Crest Energy, the Coalition for an Equitable Economy, Trinity Solar, Holyoke Gas & Electric, and the MassHire Hampden County Workforce Board. Kermit Dunkelberg, HCC's assistant vice president of adult education and workforce development, shared that he hopes the dual focus of training people for jobs and helping small businesses grow will result in more locally owned companies doing the work in the area. 'Much of the work to date is done by out-of-state contractors with large companies, but where is the space for a new company? Where's the space for BIPOC-owned companies and women-owned? I hope we are creating some pathways that are more accessible for the communities we're trying to serve,' said Dunkelberg. Last year, the state Division of Apprenticeship Standards approved $465,600 in registered apprenticeship tax credits for employers who hired 97 apprentices, a statement from the Healey-Driscoll Administration said. Because of a 2023 tax cut package, clean energy employers are now eligible for the tax credit of up to $4,800 per apprentice. Clean energy employers hired 26 apprentices using the tax credit last year. 'By expanding eligibility to some of our most in-demand and growing industries, we are reducing the cost of doing business in Massachusetts, encouraging employers to leverage apprenticeship as a strategy to fill their hiring needs, and giving dozens of Massachusetts residents a pathway to a good-paying career,' Healey said in the statement. In the fall, HCC and Dean Tech also will launch a solar associate technical training and certification program that will run from September to December. Wagner said that future programs include EV charger installation and maintenance training and certification, energy auditing training, and home energy rating system training. While this is a two-year funded grant, Duffy said she will advocate for additional funding. 'We have to show the proven results that we are getting students through this program, getting jobs, and companies are attracted to it. We will need to get the companies to advocate on this program, too,' said Duffy. To be eligible, students must be at least 18, authorized to work in the U.S., have a high school diploma or equivalency, be able to start work after the training, and pass a background check.

Pattern Computer Announces Hepatocellular Carcinoma Pattern Identification and Model Creation Study
Study leveraged Pattern Discovery Engine™ to construct highly accurate model to predict whether or not a given cell is cancerous Identified nine genes that are crucial for prediction and may have other uses in diagnostics and/or therapeutics Highlights use of the Pattern Discovery Engine as a hypothesis discovery tool REDMOND, Wash., May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pattern Computer®, Inc. ('Pattern' or 'the Company'), the global leader in Pattern Discovery, today announced the submission for peer review of a study titled "Explainable Molecular Stratification and Co-regulation Pattern Identification in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Single Cell Transcriptomics Data." In this study the Company's Pattern Discovery Engine ™ (PDE), a suite of proprietary algorithms, was used to analyze a liver cancer dataset, build predictive models to differentiate Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from normal liver tissues, and uncover differences in gene regulation between the cancer and non-cancer samples. The PDE constructed a highly accurate model (97% accuracy) to predict whether or not a given cell is cancerous. The Company noted that the PDE identified a small set of nine genes with fundamentally different regulatory structure in cancer cells versus normal, which is of importance as it. highlights the use of the PDE as a hypothesis discovery tool. Mark Anderson, Pattern Chair and CEO, commented, 'While the inner workings are proprietary, the hypotheses it delivers are every bit as explicit and understandable, or more so, as hypotheses generated by human intuition – which, of course, is often a black box we like to label 'inspiration' or 'insight.' This project demonstrates a new paradigm for scientific discovery: instead of beginning with a hypothesis, we begin with data – and discover hypotheses for testing, exploration, and yes, inspiration. We don't aim to replace human intuition, but to augment it with the power to discover patterns in data that yield hypotheses about patterns in the world at large.' The PDE suite of algorithms enables the summarization of relationships in ultra-high-dimensional datasets in simple, human-readable, symbolic equations. It can discover previously unknown patterns within large datasets, without making prior assumptions, performing feature engineering, or pruning data. These algorithms use the patterns they uncovered to build explainable predictive models – which constitute novel hypotheses. Liver cancer remains the third leading cause of cancer deaths, amounting to 7.8% of all cancer deaths. HCC is the major form of primary liver cancer, accounting for over 90% of the cases, with 5-year survival rate of only 18%. Given its asymptomatic nature in the early stages, most HCC patients are diagnosed at advanced stages and face poor prognosis with limited treatment options. Consequently, individual strategies based on identifying early potential prognostic biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets are urgently needed. These efforts can ultimately lead to more efficient and reliable diagnoses, personalized treatment strategies, and improved patient outcomes. From the publication: In this study, we utilized Pattern Computer, Inc.'s Pattern Discovery Engine ™ (PDE) to establish a robust analytical framework for single-cell gene expression data, specifically targeting hepatocellular carcinoma. While the workings of the engine are proprietary, the end result is composed of sets of equations that are interpretable and human-readable – and hence constitute testable hypotheses. Our analysis identified a panel of nine signature genes that consistently distinguish cancerous from healthy tissues across diverse cell types. Next, these signature genes were used to construct an XAI model with over 97% balanced accuracy in predicting cancer status at the single-cell level. Beyond predictive power, this model offers a symbolic predictive equation, providing interpretable insights into the regulatory relationships among the genes. Finally, we generated a directed gene-to-gene regulatory network, uncovering substantial disruptions in co-regulation within cancerous cells compared to the tightly coordinated regulatory dynamics observed in healthy cells. This regulatory shift underscores the molecular dysregulation underlying hepatocellular carcinoma. These findings extend beyond classification accuracy, shedding light on the disrupted regulatory landscapes of cancer cells. By linking gene expression patterns to functional insights, our approach highlights therapeutic targets and biomarkers, paving the way for intervention strategies in this challenging disease. Mr. Anderson added, 'Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is revolutionizing biological research by enabling precise discoveries with unmatched transparency and interpretability. Our commitment to pioneering solutions in the fight against cancer is unwavering, with each innovative milestone achieved bringing the Company closer to our overarching mission of improving outcomes for individuals affected by cancer. Leveraging our AI-enabled Pattern Discovery Engine, we have achieved significant progress in expanding the Company's industry-leading oncology pipeline against the top five cancers worldwide.' Mr. Anderson concluded, 'Pattern's advanced computational approaches push the boundaries of cancer treatment, and we are confident in our ability to make more such discoveries across various types of challenging cancers. As we work towards transforming cancer treatment paradigms, we are looking to partner with firms to bring our cancer drug discoveries and diagnostic advances against the world's top five cancers into clinical trials.' About PatternPattern Computer, Inc. uses its Pattern Discovery Engine™ to solve the most important and intractable problems in business and medicine.
