Script Details Reads recipient data from the people.xlsx Excel file into a Pandas DataFrame. Runs an infinite loop to check the current time and sends personalized news emails at 10:30 AM each day. For each recipient, it creates a NewsFeed object based on their specified interest and sends an email with the latest news. Important Notes Ensure compliance with Google's security policies when using Gmail credentials. The script is set to run indefinitely; modify the loop condition if you want to limit the number of iterations.
