Mukhesh Ambani is the richer in Gujrat

The combined wealth of the 58 richest Gujarati billionaires, each worth a minimum of Rs 1,000 crore, pales in comparison to the net worth of India's richest man for the seventh year running, Mukesh Ambani — his wealth of Rs 3.71 lakh crore dwarfing the combined Gujarati wealth of Rs 2.54 lakh crore, according to the Hurun India rich list. Incidentally, Ambani himself is of Gujarati origin.

Gujarat ranks fourth in the number of people with a net worth of Rs 1,000 crore or more, with 49 of the 58 mega crorepatis ( minimum net worth of Rs 1,000 crore) residing in Ahmedabad — Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani topping the list with a net worth of Rs 71,200 crore.

Apart from Adani, others in Gujarat's rich list include Pankaj Patel of Zydus group (Rs 32,100 crore wealth), Bhadresh Shah of AIA Engineering (Rs 9,700 crore), Karsanbhai Patel (Rs 9,600 crore) and Torrent group promoters Samir and Sudhir Mehta (Rs 8,300 crore each) — 10 women also feature in the list of wealthiest from Gujarat, who belong to popular business families having ownerships of Nirma group, Torrent group and Intas Pharma, among others.

Meanwhile, in a reflection of just how precarious is a billionaire status, China, which added more than 2 new billionaires a week in 2017, also saw 1 billionaire drop out of their ranks — of the 106 new billionaires added, 51 ended the year as just a multi-millionaire, according to a Billionaires Insights Report.

Stephens downs top seed Kerber, storms into WTA finals

Listen

SINGAPORE: A confident Sloane Stephens stormed into a semi slot at the WTA Finals with a convincing straight sets victory against top seed Angelique Kerber Friday, joining fellow debutant Kiki Bertens in the knockout stage.

The former US Open champion continued her unbeaten run in Singapore with a 6-3, 6-3 triumph in 101 minutes, her fifth straight-sets victory in a row over Kerber.

After topping Red Group, Stephens will play Czech Karolina Pliskova in the semi-finals.

For the first time since 2003, none of the top four seeds advanced to the semi-finals of the WTA Finals.

"I stayed solid the whole time knowing there was a lot on the line," Stephens said after the match.

"I knew it was going to be a battle and just tried to play as hard as I could."

The match started tensely, with Kerber unable to convert seven break points in Stephens´ first three service games, and the missed opportunities proved costly.

An energetic Stephens made her pay by converting all three of her break points to draw first blood.

The American impressively counterattacked and pinpointed the lines to frustrate Kerber, who survived an injury scare when she landed awkwardly midway through the first set.

Kerber was immediately under pressure in the second set and saved seven break points in the fourth game before cracking under the pressure.

There was still fight left in the German, who broke straight back but continued to struggle on serve.

"If the court was a little bit faster, maybe the result would be on my side today," she said. "I made a little bit more mistakes than usual."

On her fifth break point, Stephens claimed the decisive break in the eighth game and then served it out to knockout the Wimbledon champion.

Bertens faces unbeaten Elina Svitolina after a hamstring injury forced Naomi Osaka´s retirement earlier Friday.

She won the first set 6-3 in 47 minutes before US Open champion Osaka, who wiped away tears, forfeited the match.

It was a bitterly disappointing end for the 21-year-old, who came into Singapore as the form player but lost three-set matches to Stephens and Kerber.

"I hurt my left hamstring in the first match (against Stephens)," Osaka told reporters.

"It was just getting worse and worse every time I played. I couldn´t even really practice that well today."

But it was enough for Bertens to seal a final four spot having defeated Kerber earlier in the round-robin phase.

Bertens only qualified for the WTA Finals just days before the tournament after world number one Simona Halep withdrew due to injury.

"It´s never easy or never nice to win a match like this, but it is what it is," Bertens said.

"To be at the last four, last tournament of the year, it´s unbelievable."

Osaka had started the match brightly, rolling through her service games before being broken in the eighth game.

With her upper leg heavily strapped, Osaka called a medical timeout after the eighth game and required treatment in the locker room.

She came back on court but dropped her serve to love, culminating in a double fault which turned out to be her last action at the WTA Finals.

Wild chimpanzees share nourishment with their companions

Sharing meat within the wake of chasing and commercialism different prestigious 
nourishment things is viewed as key within the advancement of collaboration in human social orders. One clear thought is that individuals share necessary nourishments to extend future favors, to such associate degree extent that those we have a tendency to imparted to can in all probability collaborate with U.S.A. shortly. In spite of habitually happening in folks, sharing nourishment outside of relation or sexual activity connections is unusual in non-human creatures.

They demonstrate that chimpanzees can in all probability impart sustenance to their companions, which neither high predominance standing nor provocation by hobos affected their alternative. This supplements results from another examination by an analogous cluster distributed a month agone that inspected meat sharing once gathering chasing of monkeys. There they found that chimpanzees possessing meat once effective chases were likely to recompense completely different seekers by providing to them. "All things thought of our examination demonstrates that the chimpanzees opt for once to share nourishment enthusiastic about the likelihood that this support are going to be came back shortly," says Liran Samuni, initial creator of the 2 investigations. "Or on the opposite hand, if there ought to be an incident of sharing once gathering chases, sharing of meat is giving back wherever its due for aiding." 

Past examinations in another taxonomic category of chimpanzees have planned that nourishment halfaking in chimpanzees for the foremost part happens thanks to provocation weight from poor folks. "This wasn't things for the Tai chimpanzees," Catherine Crockford, senior creator on the examinations, calls attention to, "underlining the high selection unitedly crosswise over pongid populaces." Human populaces to boot take issue in however useful they're and appearance into is progressing within the 2 folks and non-human creatures mensuration what might create a couple of populaces additional agreeable than others. "The have to be compelled to stay in an exceedingly firm unit, on account of high predation weight, or the power to indicate solid attachment, thanks to wealthy sustenance sources, area unit 2 conceivable things to advance the outflow of useful acts," proposes Roman Wittig, the second senior creator of the investigations.

The scientists discovered abnormal amounts of Pitocin once chimpanzees shared meat and different prestigious nourishments, associate degreed once pongid took an interest in chasing with others. "That we have a tendency to found higher Pitocin levels once each chasing and sharing adds to the chance that Pitocin may be a key internal secretion related to participation once all is claimed in done," Liran Samuni calls attention to. 

The analysts reason that like folks, Tai pongid sharing is explicit, which companions et al. that helped procuring the sustenance advantage additional. lusty association, as is clear among companions, doubtless assumed a important job within the development of human participation.
