Why Silicone Products Are Becoming So Popular

If there is one material that has withstood the test of time and pressure for use in multiple products spanning across a wide range of industries, it has to be Silicone.

After Nashville school shooting, Nikki Haley tells voters she is against gun control legislation

DOVER, NH–Nikki Haley’s town hall here in one of the first primary states opened against the backdrop of a deadly school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee. The Republican presidential hopeful started her pitch by addressing the shooting and telling voters she wanted more metal detectors, not more gun control legislation. She called for schools to have one entrance and to use the metal detectors there. “It’s okay if there are metal detectors. There are those guests coming in, the kids see them at an airport, they see them wherever they go. Why don’t we do that to protect those kids?” Haley said. “Everybody wants to talk about gun control. My thing is, I don’t want to take away your ability to protect yourself until they do those things that protect those kids.” Haley continued. Republican presidential candidate,...

How CFOs Became One of Fashion’s Most In Demand Roles

Kirby Perkins, managing director at Crist Kolder Associates, an executive search firm specializing in the chief financial officer role, can’t recall a busier time at the company. “The market for exceptional finance talent is white hot,” Perkins said. “It started with Covid when companies found themselves in a position where they really needed a top notch finance executive to make it through.” In the past year, 50 fashion companies — LVMH Fashion Group, MatchesFashion and Skims among them — have named new finance chiefs, according to Kirk Palmer and Associates, an executive search firm.

Notwithstanding differences with the Governor, the ruling DMK is likely to participate in the reception hosted by RN Ravi at the Raj Bhavan here on Thursday on the occasion of Republic Day, even as the ruling party’s alliance partners, including Congress, have decided to boycott the events.
