Ash emission event on Mount Kanlaon recorded anew
An ash emission event was recorded anew on Mount Kanlaon. Based on a footage of an Internet Protocol (IP) camera of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), the ash emission event lasted for about 30 minutes on June 2, 2025. The ash emission event generated a grayish plume that reached a height of 1,200 meters. The emission was described by PHIVOLCS to be thin this time, and reached a few barangays in Bago City. 'Sa upper portion ng ating bulkan, meron na namang pag-clog ang ating volcano kung saan dumadaan ang gas na ini-emit ng magma,' said Engr. Mari Andylene Quintia, resident volcanologist at Kanlaon Volcano Observatory. At least 38 volcanic earthquakes were recorded, which makes the possibility of another eruption likely, according to PHIVOLCS. The latest ash emission event happened almost a year after a phreatic eruption on Mount Kanlaon occurred on June 3, 2024 at past 6 p.m. The Office of Civil Defense - Negros Island Region (OCD-NIR) has sent an Incident Management Team to inspect persons getting in and out of the six-kilometer expanded danger zone on Mount Kanlaon. Another situation that the team will look into is the preparation at the evacuation centers for the resumption of classes by June 16, 2025. Based on OCD-NIR data, close to 2,000 students are affected by the volcanic unrest and have continued to stay at evacuation centers in the Province of Negros Occidental. Most of these students are in the Municipality of La Castellana. To pad disruption of classes, the Local Government Unit (LGU) of La Castellana has requested for additional family tents that will serve as temporary classrooms. 'Nagwo-worry na naman sila kung papano ang enrollment ng mga bata. Ang mga LGUs natin naghahanap rin ng pamamaraan upang ma-address ito,' Donato Sermeno III, regional director of OCD-NIR, said. DepEd Negros Occidental has considered alternative learning mode for students and a once-a-week face-to-face classes for students dwelling in evacuation centers. — GMA Regional TV News

Police install 125 Internet Protocol speakers in Pune city to make announcements, regulate traffic
1 2 3 Pune: The city police have installed 125 Internet Protocol (IP) speakers on roads and at junctions to make announcements related to regulating vehicular movement and emergencies. A central control room would monitor this system through CCTV cameras. The system will help police alert citizens about traffic situations on roads and inform them about inundated roads or any other emergencies, such as accidents, tree-falling incidents, or issues like processions or festivals. The police can also use the speakers to divert traffic in case of these emergencies. "The plan is to gradually increase the number of IP speakers to 500 in the next few years," said assistant commissioner of police Vivek Pawar. "This is a handy system.

Crooks impersonating telecom regulatory officials & Mumbai cops dupe retired Kolhapur university professor of Rs 3.6 crore
Kolhapur: A 75-year-old retired professor fell victim to cybercriminals who coerced her into transferring Rs 3.6 crore through 14 transactions between April 21 and May 16, 2025. This is the largest cyber fraud case recorded in Kolhapur city. The fraudsters, impersonating Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and Mumbai police officers, contacted the elderly woman about an alleged case registered at the Colaba police station. They claimed Rs 6 crore from an aviation firm owner's fraudulent activities had been deposited, using her Aadhaar card, in her account at a nationalised bank in Mahim. The perpetrators warned of legal consequences and arrest unless the retired professor complied with their verification process and sought her banking information. Through WhatsApp video calls, they pressured her to transfer funds to various private bank accounts. The elderly academic exhausted funds from three personal accounts, three joint accounts with her husband, and four accounts belonging to her husband. The transfer amounts ranged from Rs 7 lakh to Rs 60 lakh, according to police reports. The academic had retired from the Shivaji University-Kolhapur in 2013, and her husband retired in 2005. The couple have a daughter, who is a doctor and resides in Tarabai Park. The elderly woman later told her daughter and son-in-law about what had happened, and they subsequently reported the matter to authorities. A complaint was lodged at Rajarampuri police station on Tuesday evening. Speaking to TOI, inspector Sushant Chavan, the investigating officer, said, "The woman really believed that she was going to be arrested as she was told by the caller that they would arrest her and make the news of it public. She was also told not to tell anyone about the case against her, which was totally made up. We asked her if she had never heard the caller tune messages on not getting scammed by people claiming to be from CBI or the customs office. She told us she was aware of the message, but somehow forgot it." Chavan said three officers, including himself, have initiated the investigation. "We have asked the banks concerned to stop the transactions from the accounts where the money has been transferred by the victim. We are going to find the connections between the calls made, as they were made from nine different numbers. We are going to trace Internet Protocol addresses for all the calls made using the internet," said Chavan. The victim's statement indicated that video calls featuring Supreme Court bench proceedings and individuals seated before a Mumbai Police board convinced her of their authenticity.

Best Streaming Platform: A Guide for Netflix, IPTV, and Streaming Enthusiasts
Streaming has taken over the entertainment world, and with so many options available, choosing the best streaming platform can be overwhelming. Whether you're a Netflix loyalist, an IPTV subscription aficionado, or just diving into the world of digital streaming, this guide is tailored to help you find the right fit for your needs. Expect to explore platform comparisons, user experiences, and tips on simplifying your streaming life with tools like Simpcitu. The entertainment landscape has evolved dramatically in the past decade. Traditional cable is losing its grip as more users opt for customizable, on-demand content through streaming. Services like Netflix, Hulu, and IPTV platforms provide flexibility, affordability, and a massive content library. Streaming allows users to consume content anytime, anywhere, and often at a fraction of the cost of traditional TV services. It empowers users with control over their entertainment schedules and removes the need for cumbersome hardware installations. IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) delivers TV content over the internet rather than traditional satellite or cable formats. It's ideal for those who want live TV, sports, and international channels without expensive contracts. Simpcitu, for instance, simplifies IPTV usage with a user-friendly interface and reliable uptime. Unlike conventional services, IPTV gives users the freedom to select what they want to watch and when. It also allows for advanced features like time-shifting (pause, rewind live TV), video-on-demand, and interactive TV, making it a superior alternative in many aspects. Choosing the best streaming service depends on several key factors. Here's a checklist to help you decide: Do you crave original series, blockbuster movies, live sports, or global channels? Netflix leads in originals, while IPTV services often shine in offering live international content. Disney+ and Apple TV are other strong contenders in original programming, while platforms like Amazon Prime Video combine originals with licensed movies and series. Ensure your chosen platform supports all your devices — smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, or streaming sticks. Platforms with seamless app integration across devices tend to provide better user satisfaction. Simplicity matters. Platforms like Simpcitu have been praised for intuitive layouts, making navigation a breeze. A clutter-free interface, smart recommendations, and smooth playback can greatly enhance the streaming experience. Compare monthly costs, family plans, and free trials. Some IPTV services are incredibly cost-effective compared to traditional cable. Netflix, for instance, offers tiered pricing based on video quality and the number of screens, while IPTV providers often have more straightforward pricing structures with access to all content. A great streaming platform learns your preferences and offers relevant suggestions. Netflix and YouTube excel here, using algorithms to present content tailored to individual tastes. For users with limited internet access or those on the go, the ability to download content is invaluable. Most top platforms, including Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, offer this feature. Pros : High-quality original content, excellent UI, wide device compatibility, strong recommendation engine : High-quality original content, excellent UI, wide device compatibility, strong recommendation engine Cons: Increasing subscription cost, content rotation Pros : Simplifies IPTV management, supports multiple formats, reliable uptime, flexible content selection : Simplifies IPTV management, supports multiple formats, reliable uptime, flexible content selection Cons: Requires initial setup, lesser-known brand Pros : Great for current TV shows, live TV options, add-ons for premium channels : Great for current TV shows, live TV options, add-ons for premium channels Cons: Ads on lower-tier plans, limited international availability Pros : Perfect for families, Disney/Pixar/Marvel/Star Wars content, bundle with Hulu and ESPN+ : Perfect for families, Disney/Pixar/Marvel/Star Wars content, bundle with Hulu and ESPN+ Cons: Narrower audience, limited non-Disney content Pros : Included with Prime membership, extensive library, offline viewing, 4K availability : Included with Prime membership, extensive library, offline viewing, 4K availability Cons: UI could be better, some content requires additional purchase Pros : High-quality originals, free with Apple devices for a limited time, family sharing : High-quality originals, free with Apple devices for a limited time, family sharing Cons: Smaller library, fewer updates Pros : Affordable, vast international content, live TV, no contracts : Affordable, vast international content, live TV, no contracts Cons: Varies in reliability, legality concerns in some regions, may need third-party apps Legality depends on the provider. Always opt for reputable services and check regional laws. Unauthorized IPTV can lead to legal issues and inconsistent service. For HD streaming, at least 5 Mbps; for 4K, aim for 25 Mbps. IPTV may require slightly higher speeds for uninterrupted live TV. Most services allow it, but some charge extra for multi-device access. Look for plans that include family sharing. IPTV services often offer the most content for the lowest price, especially when bundled with platforms like Simpcitu. For mainstream options, consider Disney+ bundles or Prime Video. Stick to official apps and providers. Beware of malware risks with unofficial IPTV services or pirated apps. Yes, a VPN can unblock geo-restricted content and protect your privacy, especially useful for IPTV users accessing content globally. Recommendation engines will become more intelligent, offering even more personalized content suggestions. Platforms are starting to merge entertainment with gaming. Netflix has hinted at interactive titles and even casual games. Expect growth in specialized services focusing on genres like anime (Crunchyroll), horror (Shudder), and documentaries (CuriosityStream). Voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant will play bigger roles in streaming control. Seamless integration will be the norm. Choosing the best streaming platform boils down to your preferences — whether it's binge-worthy shows on Netflix, live sports via IPTV, or a seamless experience through Simpcitu. The key is identifying what content and features matter most to you. Explore your options, take advantage of trials, and don't hesitate to mix and match platforms for a comprehensive entertainment experience. Ready to streamline your streaming?

Bitcoin nears record high as analysts tell market to ‘buckle up'
The price of bitcoin is approaching a new all-time high after rising more than 10 per cent in recent days, leading some analysts to predict another record-breaking rally in 2025. The world's leading cryptocurrency rose above $105,000 on Monday, just $4,000 away from the record high it reached in January 2025. Crypto experts have attributed the latest price increase to massive inflows from institutional investors, greater support from governments and regulators, as well as improved sentiment among retail investors. The collision of positive catalysts have led some industry figures to forecast a 'parabolic' price rise for bitcoin in the months ahead. 'I truly understood bitcoin in 2011-2012 and in all these years, the bull case for it has never been stronger,' former PayPal president David Marcus wrote in a post to X. 'Banks can now custody and offer BTC to their customers, sovereign states and corporations are competing to buy, utility phase of TCP/IP [Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol] for money is taking off. Buckle up.' Standard Chartered analyst Geoff Kendrick recently predicted bitcoin could reach as high as $120,000 by the end of June, reinforcing his year-end forecast of $200,000. "While timing sharp rises in bitcoin is difficult, we think the current period of potential strategic asset reallocation away from US assets may trigger the next such upswing," he wrote in April. "If so, we would expect a new all-time high to be reached in Q2 with further gains over the summer.' Other cryptocurrencies have also experienced significant gains in May, with ethereum and dogecoin adding around 40 per cent to their value over the last week. The market has also been boosted by broader economic stability, with a major trade deal reached between the US and UK, as well as indications that the trade war between the US and China is cooling. This has brought renewed attention to typically high-risk assets like cryptocurrencies, which investors tend to sell during periods of uncertainty in favour of save haven assets like gold. Some crypto analysts believe that the current market momentum could see bitcoin reach new highs as early as this week, with the next resistance level pegged at $107,000. 'The impressive corrective pullback from late January to early April, in our opinion, created substantial margin for a new wave of growth,' Alex Kuptsikevich, the chief market analyst at the online trading platform FxPro, told The Independent. 'Therefore, we will not be surprised if, along with the positive dynamics of stocks, bitcoin will move to the renewal of historical highs already this week.' For bitcoin to realise these predictions,however, some have pointed to the $100,000 price point as a key support level. Should the cryptocurrency fall back below this figure, it could potentially lead to a broader sell-off that sees bitcoin pull back towards its 50-day moving average below $90,000.
