Digitalization is often described as a race as it moves at lightning speed – evolution of technology in the digital era is rapid and what is relevant today may become outdated tomorrow.  In this race, there will be winners and losers – it means someone is bound to get left behind. In many ways, the pandemic has forced many economies to switch to a higher gear and pick up the pace. The Philippines is one of those economies but the question remains: are we all moving towards the finish line or are we leaving some in the dust? Converge ICT Solutions, the Philippines' fastest growing broadband and technology solutions company, is taking up the challenge and is determined to leave no one, especially not the vulnerable, behind.

NEW DELHI, March 25 (Bernama) -- Pakistan's Jamaat-e-Islami party has added its voice to the growing chorus calling for immediate elections to get the country out of its current political crisis. Such calls have grown louder since the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday postponed the Punjab provincial assembly elections from April 30 to October 8, citing financial and security reasons. President Arif Alvi on Friday wrote to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to direct the authorities concerned to help the election agency to hold general elections in the province of Punjab as well as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on time.

At a glance: DNA analysis of African Americans buried at an early U.S. iron forge reveals locations of their African and European ancestors and finds more than 40,000 living U.S. relatives. The study is the first to link up ancient DNA technology with a personal ancestry testing database and use a new method for determining genetic relationships. The work, which followed rigorous ethical guidelines, was inspired by groups seeking to restore ancestry knowledge to African American communities. A first-of-its-kind analysis of historical DNA ties tens of thousands of living people to enslaved and free African Americans who labored at an iron forge in Maryland known as Catoctin Furnace soon after the founding of the United States.
