If a Ford car owner defaults on loan payment, the embedded system will play havoc with even air conditioning or the engine’s functions. Automobile giant Ford Motor Corp has filed for a unique patent. The hitherto unheard-of patent filing is aimed to make the repossession process smooth for banks who lend. Ford’s move comes even though automobile loan delinquency rates, or the percentage of loans that are due to the total number of loans, are down, indicating a healthy lending scenario.  It may be noted that Ford had filed for the patent in the US Patent Office as early as 2021 August, though it was formally published only in February this year.

The United Jogeshwari Premier League (UJPL) tennis ball-cricket tournament, played among 16 teams, has turned out to be a major crowd puller . Mumbai: In an era where the youth of India are predominantly spending a lion’s share of their time on social media, the Jogeshwari suburb of Mumbai has been padding up for a major revolution. The move aimed at bringing youngsters back to the open fields for some physical action, rather than perching themselves on social media platforms all the time. Jogeshwari has been playing host to the United Jogeshwari Premier League  (UJPL) , a day-and-night cricketing event. This tennis ball-overarm cricket tournament played among sixteen teams has turned out to be a major crowd puller, with people from all walks of life arriving in large numbers to witness the tournament.
