Serena Williams set the marker that matters no asterisks needed
Her record of 23 grand slam singles titles in the Open era stands alone but Williams tennis legacy goes far beyond statistics Seven years ago, as Serena Williams continued to consolidate her career records and her claims as the greatest of all time, a reporter asked her to identify the all-time record in her sights. Williams had 19 grand slam titles back then, just past the marker of 18 set by Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. She sighed deeply, but she was smiling: Stefanie Graf has it, she has [22], she said, without hesitation. Its there, I can see it, just because you can see it doesnt mean you can reach it. Williams will play out the final tournaments of her career in the coming weeks after announcing her imminent retirement in Vogue on Tuesday and, for the record, she did achieve the ultimate goal she had set for herself then. At the 2017 Australian Open while pregnant with her daughter, Alexis Olympia, Williams surpassed Graf to clinch the open-era record of a 23rd grand slam title . Continue reading...

Englands Lisa Keightley will depart and leave ECB with crunch decision
Optimism gave way to tournament lows: now someone new must ease the burden on captain Heather Knights shoulders Arriving at Lords in January 2020 to attend Lisa Keightleys first press conference, you could smell excitement in the air. This was the first female head coach to lead England in the professional era, and she had ambition. Im planning to be in the World Cup final, Keightley declared. Two months later, England were on a plane back from Australia having failed to achieve that goal, losing against India in the T20 semi-finals in Sydney, admittedly partly because of rain . Days later, the pandemic struck, putting the result very much in perspective. Suddenly, Keightleys aspirations for the team took a backseat to navigating a new world where cricket balls were vectors of transmission. Continue reading...
Google's learn-to-read app for kids is now available on the web
You no longer have to reach for your Android phone to try Google's learn-to-read tool . Google has launched a beta web version of Read Along that offers a similar experience on your computer. As before, the virtual helper Diya encourages your kids to read aloud and offers correctional feedback. Children can read at different skill levels and receive digital prizes for completing goals. The beta currently supports reading on Chrome, Edge and Firefox, with functionality for Safari and other browsers due soon. Kids can learn in several languages, including English and Hindi. You can sign in for a personalized experience, but Google makes clear that you don't need an account. All speech recognition also happens in your browser, so you don't have to worry that someone might grab your child's voice recordings. Read Along's web version won't change your mind if you prefer the personal touch. However, Google isn't pitching this as a full substitute for human contact. It helps kids improve their reading in moments where their parents aren't available, and could help schools teach literacy when one-on-one time isn't practical.
AT&T is using amphibious vehicles, drones and more to restore its network during disasters
In a nondescript warehouse outside of Atlanta, nestled among the office parks and chain restaurants that pepper suburban America, AT&T is preparing for catastrophe. This is one of the company's Network Disaster Recovery (NDR) sites, a place where a volunteer group of AT&T workers can test and train on equipment that can quickly spin up connectivity when a local office is destroyed. Longtime Engadget readers may remember our 2008 visit to a similar Chicago-area site, only a year after the launch of the iPhone and long before the company started deploying 4G LTE. Given just how much the world has changed since then with smartphones in practically every pocket, and billion-dollar weather and climate disasters on the rise . Originally launched in 1991, AT&T has spent over $650 million in the US building up the NDR program (up $100 million since 2008). Since 2017, AT&T has also provided network support for FirstNet (First Responder Network Authority), which delivers a public safety wireless network throughout America. Both T-Mobile and Verizon have their own disaster response initiatives, but AT&Ts cellular division has the advantage of launching more than a decade before either of those competitors arrived in the US. Neither company has publicly stated how much they invest in disaster recovery, and our inquiries for more specifics have gone unanswered. Its one thing for AT&T to claim its spending a huge chunk of change on disaster recovery (the cynic in me cant help but wonder how that figure is calculated). But seeing the vast amounts of gear the company has devoted to its NDR program makes one thing clear: This is more than just good PR. Its a moral mission for AT&Ts volunteer staff, many of which come from military backgrounds. While its not as mission critical as supplying food, water and shelter, providing connectivity could still save lives by making it easier for first responders to communicate with each other, not to mention giving people in danger a way to reach out for help. AT&T NDR's Flying COW (Cell-on-wings) drone. Devindra Hardawar/Engadget During our 2008 visit, we learned the NDR team was using a standard Chevy Suburban jam-packed with cellular gear to restore parts of its network. Today, theyre looking to the sky and beyond. (That Suburban has also been replaced by a 4x4 emergency response club cab pickup.) AT&T has been using drones called Flying COWs (Cell-on-wings) for several years, but its upcoming iteration can spit out 5G coverage to around ten square miles from 300 feet in the air, while the drones currently being used deliver Band 14 LTE. For safety reasons, all of the company's drones are currently tethered to stations on the ground, which provide power for as long as their generators can stay fueled. They also require two people to operate one to fly the drone, and another to keep an eye out for obstacles. The drone I saw looked larger than any consumer model I've seen, and it can hold a payload up to five pounds. Looking ahead, AT&T has patented a remote flight system that lets operators control drones from thousands of miles away, and it's exploring solar-powered units that could fly autonomously for days. (Unfortunately, I didn't get to see AT&T's 55-foot long blimp , which flies 1,000 feet in the air to provide connectivity across 100 miles for up to two weeks.) NDR staffers tell me AT&T is also testing robodogs that can deal with a variety of scenarios from running up a mountain during a forest fire, to helping with bomb disarmament. The company has also beefed up its ground and water game with the Amphib. With its enormous treads, it looks like a red mini-tank, but it can also float and make its way through water using rear propellers. It's the sort of vehicle that can make dealing with hurricanes much easier, according to AT&T's Kelly Morrison, who is also a longtime NDR volunteer. The Amphib is basically a people and payload mover, but it gives the company more flexibility when dealing with flooded areas. Given the historic rainfalls we've recently seen in St. Louis and Kentucky , in addition to inevitable rising sea levels, the Amphib could end up being one of the NDR team's most useful tools. The rotors on the rear of AT&T's Amphib vehicle. Devindra Hardawar/Engadget Of course, these new toys are great and all, but the core of AT&T'S NDR team continues to be its COLTs (Cell on Light Truck). They can tap into the company's existing fiber backhaul lines and deliver cellular connectivity within a few hours. If local infrastructure is completely down, AT&T can use SatCOLTs to reach satellites instead. And for hard-to-access areas, the company now has Compact Rapid Deployables (CRDs), which can fit on the back of a truck or be hiked to the top of a mountain. The company also has thousands of generators on-hand a necessity for every disaster site. While the main goal is to restore connectivity for first responders and customers, AT&Ts FirstNet commitment also ensures interoperability with competing carriers too. During the devastating Marshall Fire in Colorado, which destroyed more than 1,000 homes, FirstNet responders rushed to set up two SatCOLT's over New Year's Eve. Additional teams came in from Kansas, Texas, New Mexico and Missouri, leading to a peak of eight SatCOLTs being used to support FirstNet works and local businesses. The fire wasn't the only challenge: Additional calls required a team to cover two mountain passes during heavy snow conditions. Servers and other cellular equipment stored in an NDR trailer. Devindra Hardawar/Engadget The NDR team hasn't gotten many breaks throughout the year. According to AT&T, three SatCOLTs helped first responders during Yosemite's wildfire in July. And as of August 1st, FirstNET also deployed another two SatCOLTs to assist rescue operations during the recent flood in Kentucky. The team has been deployed more often since 2018, when AT&T was tapped to support FirstNet, and its also responding to the increasing number of wildfires were seeing in the US. And, of course, NDR workers are always keeping an eye on new ways to improve their disaster response. The team tells us they're looking forward to using low-Earth satellites eventually, which would offer more bandwidth and lower latency than the existing fixed satellites. Virtualizing their work would also be a huge help. Currently, much of their response involves moving workers and setting up control centers in dangerous areas. But as they move towards smaller and easier to deploy assets, like drones and CRDs, they may not have to set up a trailer at all. COVID-ready sleeping and shower units for NDR workers. Devindra Hardawar/Engadget After my tour of the NDR site, I couldnt help but notice the cellular equipment dotting the sparse Georgia landscape. I could see towers at practically every high point in the area, delivering robust 5G speeds on the same roads where I used to struggle to get 2.5G Edge reception over a decade ago. Its easy to take this blanket of connectivity for granted. And now that were starting to see more frequent extreme weather events, its clear that AT&Ts NDR team, and similar initiatives from competitors, will be more necessary than ever.

If China keeps its promise world's energy could be entirely renewable by 2050
China: According to researchers, the world could achieve a 100% renewable energy system by 2050 if China meets its commitments and transitions away from fossil fuels. According to a paper released July 25 by the Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEEE) in New York, renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines will dominate the energy system of the future, bringing the world to a technological and economic state by 2050. , Sven Teske, an associate professor at the University of Technology Sydney and one of the report's authors, said the United Nations reported that more than 160 companies with assets of US$70 trillion were committed to decarbonizing the global economy by 2050, including Involves phasing out fossils. , Our research has demonstrated that we have the technological means to implement a fully renewable energy-based global energy supply. As the world's largest consumer of fossil fuels and producer of carbon dioxide, all eyes will be on China. The world's second largest economy will achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, when renewable energy sources account for 80% of the country's energy mix, according to Chinese President Xi Jinping, who made a surprise commitment at the United Nations in September 2020. A year later, Xi released a detailed plan to achieve this goal. According to the researchers, China will have to fulfill its promise ten years ago if the world is to achieve the goal of 100% renewable energy in 2050. The difficulty of that challenging goal may increase this week as a result of Beijing's decision to halt climate change cooperation with the United States in response to Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. According to Corey Combs, senior analyst at Beijing-based consultancy Trivium China, At this point in time, we don't see any real chance for Beijing to target 100% renewable energy by 2050 and without that goal, it's unlikely that China will be able to achieve renewable energy. market will be able to access renewable energy. can reach that milestone by the forces of oneself. The gap between a grid with 80% renewable energy and a grid with 100% renewable energy is huge, and China's industrial and energy systems need major reforms to reach the former, let alone the latter. While China's pledge to become carbon-neutral by 2060 does not mean that fossil fuels will be completely replaced by renewable energy, according to Combs, neutrality still allows for carbon emissions as long as they do not reduce carbon emissions. sinks or are offset by carbon capture. Management Analysts said emissions targets, which were carefully set in a bureaucratic effort to prevent failures, could still be revised. Typically, China will try to achieve the [declared] goal, according to Zhang Lin, an associate professor at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU). A rapid transition to energy systems is essential to meet the goal of using only renewable energy sources. Zhang Shuwei, chief energy economist at the Drawworld Environment Research Center in Beijing, claimed that China needs stronger and additional policies to transition to 100% renewable energy. Although reforms in China's electricity market will eventually help the country reduce its reliance on coal, Combs said coal will continue to be essential for many other difficult sectors, especially steel production, which is a significant part of the country's economy. Is. Has happened. , Zhang at CityU issued a warning about an overly rapid switch to renewable energy that would implode significant assets and carry significant economic costs. Economic feasibility does not necessarily mean technical feasibility, he said. China has installed a large number of wind turbines in the Northwest region over the past few years, leading to high levels of reductions, he said. As a result, he said, China should not accelerate its transition to renewable energy because conflicts between the country's institutional and physical infrastructure, its regulations, policies and the financial interests of its central and local governments are still underdeveloped. China's efforts to increase food security are aided by a new list of 276 state Chinese military eyes Taiwan's exit strategies for personnel and assets Russia will no longer cooperate with US inspections of its nuclear arsenals

Intel, AMD, and Nvidia Reportedly Bracing for Declines as MacBook Popularity Grows
Intel, AMD, and Nvidia are all reportedly bracing for a possible decline in shipments as well as a possible drop in revenue for the remainder of 2022 while the Mac is expected to continue to grow in popularity. Citing industry sources, DigiTimes reports that Intel, AMD, and Nvidia have revised and lowered their own expectations for how many chips and products they'll ship in 2022 and their revenue goals. Apple is the only company that's expected to see continued momentum for its Mac, such as the new M2 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, the report says. Intel has lowered its revenue goals for 2022 by roughly $11 billion and expects PC chip shipments to drop 10% compared to 2021 due to lower demand. AMD excepts its shipments to drop between 14% and 16% in 2022, compared to a 7%-9% drop it was originally expecting. Specific laptop makers are also bracing for a rough 2022 and early 2023. Companies such as Dell, Acer, HP, and Asustek Computer have all cut their expectations and projections for shipments and revenue. Apple, on the other hand, is expecting to ship around 29 million MacBooks in 2022, an estimate higher than in the past three years, according to DigiTimes . Apple has nearly completed its transition away from Intel processors in the Mac to its own custom-made Apple silicon chips. The company most recently announced the all-new M2 chip, promising 1.4 times faster performance than its M1 counterpart and up to 15 times faster than an Intel-powered model. Apple has so far announced the M1, M1 Pro , M1 Max , M1 Ultra , and M2 chips for its Mac lineup. The highest-end Mac Pro and a low-end Mac mini are the only Macs that remain in Apple's lineup with Intel processors. Both are expected to be replaced as soon as this fall.

CAPTURE A TRIP: A COMMUNITY TO TRAVEL WITH
Capture A Trip is a young travel company that has paved its own way into the travel market. It started in 2016, and since then has been holding the position of a top player in the travel industry, without any external investors, and are changing the definition of 'travel' for people. When talking about the vision of Capture A Trip, its CEO Nitin Khanna says, In the Indian market, travelling has always been perceived as travelling to some fixed places by the elders of the family and going on a family vacation with them. But the times have changed, now the Indian population consists mainly of the youth who are the own decision makers of their lives. We wanted to ignite the passion inside this youth and focus mainly on this particular segment of population. Seems like he was able to hit the bulls eye with his correct market positioning, as 95% of travellers of Capture A Trip fall into the age group of 22-35. Apart from targeting the young people, Capture A Trip has built a community of travelling in their trips, where like-minded strangers travel together and explore their inner selves. It helps solo travellers to meet interesting people on the way, as well as female travellers who're hesitant to travel because of safety issues. On this Nitin says, One thing that we never compromise on is women safety. No matter what happens we prioritise the comfort and safety of female travellers. We send trip coordinators on all our trips who particularly ensure this. Their efforts surely seem to work because there's a healthy 1:1 male to female ratio of their travellers. When talking about future goals of CAT, that is already being called an established company in the industry, Mr. Khanna says, I don't want to limit Capture A Trip as just an Indian travel company but expand it to all feasible sectors of travelling. Our initiatives of expanding to provide International trips and travel hostels called YOLO Hostels are few of those examples. Call it the passion and hardwork of the young blood of Mr. Khanna, or a good strategic planning of his team, Capture A Trip has got the game right. They're earning eight times the revenue they were earning last year and have become a role model for small start-ups of all the sectors.

Apple Wants Passkeys to Replace Passwords: Here's Where You Can Try Them Out Now With iOS 16
Apple is on a mission to get rid of traditional passwords for good, and a step towards that future is something called Passkeys. Passkeys aim to entirely replace passwords in both apps and on the web and instead use either your finger or face as the password. Passkeys are part of iOS 16 and macOS Ventura but also work on non-Apple devices and platforms such as Android and Windows. Apple's goal with Passkeys is to eliminate the need for users to ever type out, remember, or use a password again. There are two scenarios for Passkeys: when you're using an Apple device and when you're on a Windows or Android device. On an Apple Device When you go to a website on your iPhone or iPad running iOS 16 or a Mac on macOS Ventura that supports Passkeys, the website will not prompt you to enter a password as you may expect it to. Instead, you'll simply be asked to authenticate with Touch ID or Face ID . On a Windows or Android Device On non-Apple devices, when you go to a website that supports Passkeys, you'll be asked to scan a QR code with your iPhone and then proceed to use Touch ID or Face ID as your actual password. Passkeys will be more widely supported by apps and websites when iOS 16 and macOS Ventura are released to all users this fall, but there are already some websites that support Passkeys. Here are just a few apps and websites that are starting to roll out support: eBay BestBuy Cloudflare Microsoft Nvidia PayPal Carnival In an interview earlier this month, Apple's director of platform product marketing said, his isn't a future dream to replace passwords. This is something that's going to be a road to completely replace passwords, and it's starting now. Passkeys is just one of several new changes and features coming to iOS 16 and macOS Ventura which you can learn about in our respective guides.

Top 5 NGOs in India that are significantly contributing towards betterment of the society
Someone said it right that being the cause of a person's happiness provides contentment to one's soul. People get into this state of ultimate satisfaction by doing social work to help the underprivileged. While some of these philanthropists believe in one man army, others like to bring a community of kind people together by starting NGOs. These NGOs bring a change in the lives of millions of people by uplifting them. They provide social support by giving humanitarian relief and using a sustainable development approach. The list of the good work done by NGOs can go on and on. Here are five such Non-profit organizations that have been creating a stir with their selfless social work: 1. The Earth Saviours Foundation Founded by Karmayogi Late Sh. Ravi Kalra Ji in 2008, The Earth Saviours Foundation, a well-known NGO was established with a goal to eliminate every social evil threat that can be faced by abandoned people. Currently, the NGO works under the able leadership of their President Shri Jas Kalra who is the son of Shri Ravi Kalra Ji. Situated in Gurugram, the Non-profit organisation serves as a rescue shelter for all old persons who are left by their children and for homeless adults over 18 who have physical or mental disabilities. They have two branches: Bandhwari Sewa Dham is the first, and Mandawar Sewa Dham is the second. Over 950 people are currently being served by 100 to 150 permanent volunteers who work wholeheartedly to serve them. 2. Smile Foundation Smile Foundation was started in 2002 by a group of young working professionals who were inspired by Senges philosophy. The Indian NGO works toward the mission of empowering underprivileged children, youth and women by providing them with education & life skills, a proper healthcare system and giving them market-focused living agendas. The foundation works to bring effective changes in the lives of deprived children, their families and communities. The management of Smile Foundation is overseen by a Board of Trustees, who are assisted by an Advisory Panel made up of people with various backgrounds and areas of expertise, and a Management Team which comprises talented employees of Smile Foundation. 3. Goonj Founded in 1999 by Anshu Gupta and headquartered in the National Capital, the NGO Goonj helps in providing disaster relief, humanitarian aid and community growth in multiple parts of the country. They mainly focus on providing clothing, the founder started Goonj with help of his wife and some other friends. Initially, they had merely 67 clothes and now the NGO deals with over 3500 tonnes of material yearly. All the material collected from the cities is stored at the Goonj Processing Centers where they are stored, segregated, repaired and packed before reaching the homes of those who need it. 4. Peepal Farm Peepal Farm was incepted in the year 2014 by the duo Robin Singh and Joellen Anderson who were later joined by Shivani Bhalla. Keeping their goal of doing maximum good while causing minimum harm, the team Peepal Farm works to improve the living conditions of stray animals and is a woman-powered small-scale social enterprise. They started their journey by building a space for injured animals so that they can heal. They even have a clinic to treat animals and also rooms for those who want to volunteer while experiencing a simple life. 5. Hemkunt Foundation Founded under the able guidance of Irinder Singh Ahluwalia, Hemkunt Foundation is a non-profit organisation that fights inequality, poverty and provides healthcare support & humanitarian aid in times of natural calamity. They also try to incorporate the economically weak sections with education and life skills along with giving them access to livelihoods. Presently, they are doing their good work in 21 of the Indian states and Union Territories. They have more than 500 volunteers associated with them and together they have impacted 43 Lakh lives with their 20 operational campaigns and five strategic programs.

safety concerns increase after repeated shelling on a nuclear plant
Ukraine: Ukraine reported heavy Russian shelling on the front lines on Tuesday as the two sides exchanged charges for a weekend attack on the Zaporizhzhya nuclear complex that raised concerns about a potential nuclear catastrophe around the world. Fierce fighting was reportedly taking place in border towns near the eastern city of Donetsk. According to Ukrainian officials, Russian troops are launching a wave of attacks in an attempt to take control of the heavily industrialized Donbass region. There is continuous firing on the front line and the situation is tense. According to the regional governor of Donetsk Pavlo Kirilenko, the enemy often launched air strikes. The enemy is failing miserably. The area of Donetsk is holding up. In a YouTube video, Ukraine's presidential adviser Oleksey Erestovich said Ukrainian troops had taken the Russian-occupied town of Dovchenke, northeast around Kharkiv, and were moving towards Izium. The situation is very complex. The Ukrainian military is advancing with great success. Russia's attempts to make up the lost ground were unsuccessful. They may end up surrounded by Ukraine, he warned. In an effort to cut off Russian supply routes, Ukrainian forces in the southeast once again targeted the important Antonovsky bridge across the Dnipro River in the Kherson region. According to Yuri Sobolevsky, deputy head of the Kherson Regional Council, which was recaptured by Russian occupying forces, the bridge was severely damaged after an overnight action. Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine on February 24, there have been 70,000 to 80,000 deaths or injuries in that country, according to Colin Kahl, the US Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. This is known in Russia as a special military operation. nuclear power plants UN chief Antonio Guterres on Monday called on UN nuclear inspectors access to Zaporizhzhya, the largest nuclear power complex of its kind in Europe, calling any attack on the nuclear plant suicidal. Zaporizhzhia was located in southern Ukraine; It was attacked by Russian forces in March, during which the site was hit without causing any damage to its reactors. A Ukrainian counteroffensive is currently targeting the region, including Kherson. Both the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations nuclear watchdog, and the demilitarization of the area around the complex were requested by Ukraine. Russia claimed that it was also in favor of the IAEA visit and that Ukraine was blocking it. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has long complained that it must wait for permission to enter the plant, saying any deployment would require the support of both Moscow and Kyiv. The weekend attack on the compound, which is still being managed by Ukrainian technicians, was blamed on both sides. Three radiation sensors were reportedly damaged, and two workers were hurt by shrapnel. According to Petro Kotin, head of Ukraine's state nuclear power company Energoatom, 500 Russian soldiers and 50 pieces of heavy equipment, including tanks, trucks and armored infantry vehicles, were present at the site. He demanded that peacekeepers take control of the plant and foresaw the possibility that the shells could strike six containers of highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel there. According to Russia's Defense Ministry, Ukrainian attacks on the plant's power lines forced it to reduce production by two of its six reactors to prevent disintegration. Reuters was unable to independently confirm both sides' claim. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky called for new Western sanctions against Russia's nuclear industry in an evening video posted online for creating the risk of a nuclear disaster. Dr Mark Weinmann, a nuclear specialist at Imperial College London, downplayed the possibility of a serious incident, saying that the Zaporizhzhya reactors were reasonably durable and that spent fuel was well preserved. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said Washington continues to monitor activity closely, noting that US radiation sensors have not detected any signs of increased or abnormal radiation levels. The White House urged Russia to stop all military operations in or near Ukrainian nuclear facilities and return full control of Ukraine. As Moscow blamed Kyiv for the shelling, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov urged the West to pressure Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky to stop the highly dangerous activity. According to Peskov, who spoke to Interfax news agency, we anticipate that nations that have full influence over the Ukrainian government will use it to prevent further shelling. In May, direct talks between Moscow and Kyiv were halted, and there are currently no plans to resume them.

'No one has guts to topple our govt..,' CM Soren attacks BJP fiercely
Ranchi: After the 'cash scandal' in Jharkhand and the arrest of three Congress MLAs, it is believed that the political threat on the Hemant government has been averted. CMHemant Soren's statement himself is telling that he is full of confidence. He says that his opponent does not have the strength to destabilise his government. The opponent i.e. BJP is incompetent. The BJP, however, says Hemant Soren has a BJP phobia. BJP MLA CP Singh said that when the party (BJP) is incompetent, then why is there a fear in the mind of JMM since the formation of the government that someone may or is destabilising their power. The BJP is nowhere in the game. Congress MLA was caught in the 'cash scandal'.The Jharkhand Congress chief (Rajesh Thakur) is unable to handle the party and the BJP is being called incompetent. When the party did not try, then what about the incompetence of doing anything, where does the matter come from? Meanwhile, Chief Minister Hemant Soren said in a discussion with the media that the opponents do not have enough strength to topple the government in Jharkhand. This region is made of other metals. It is difficult to do anythinghere like in Maharashtra and Karnataka. At the same time, Congress state president Rajesh Thakur says that the BJP has failed in Jharkhand. He could not repeat the game of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa and Madhya Pradesh here. The Congress got the MLA caught with the money and foiled the BJP's move. The BJP has been trying to buy democracy with money and power from the beginning. Why is the BJP not helping in the investigation of the Bengal CID team? The Enforcement Directorate was not stopped by anyone in Jharkhand, then why was the CID team of Bengal stopped there? It is clear that the BJP was engaged in the world, but here their move failed.

Sri Lanka Masters Hockey Men teams to take part in 2022 World Cup in England
Sri Lanka Masters Hockey men teams will leave the country on Tuesday, August 9 th 2022 to take part in the second Masters Hockey World Cup scheduled to be held from August 12-21 in Nottingham, England. Sri Lanka will play in both over 35 and over 40 age categories. The teams comprising of past national players have been preparing for the World Cup tournament for the last one year despite difficult conditions owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis in the country. Sri Lanka national hockey team is currently ranked 34th in the world, 8th in Asia and 4th in South Asia. It has improved from 40 th place in 2018. However, the poor infrastructure with two unusable Astro turf artificial hockey grounds and lack of sponsorships have deprived the sport to be played at its best. Sri Lanka Masters Hockey Association (SLMHA) was established in 2012 with an objective to uplift the game through the veterans who have played for the national team against mighty opponents and won when the country did not have sufficient resources. The SLMHA has united most of the past national players to achieve this goal though it has been a tough challenge due to multiple constraints. The veterans body had been able to have some training programme for selected rural schools which lack facilities, hold two Masters Hockey Leagues and send an over 40 team for the first time to the Masters World Cup in Barcelona, Spain four years ago. The team won against Denmark and ranked well in the 2018 World Cup. Sri Lanka national hockey team has never played in a World Cup as other countries in Asia including India, Pakistan, and Japan who have been at the top in the game. The game has suffered as there has been hardly any sponsors to look into the financing matter. The SLMHA initiated the move to participate in the Masters World Cup in 2018 to give more exposure to the veterans with an aim to give the younger generation for the betterment of the game. In over 35 age category, Sri Lanka will play in A group which comprises of England, Spain, Ghana, and South Africa, while the island nation will play against mighty Germany, South Africa, England, France, Wales, and Ireland in the over 40 teams. This will be Sri Lanka Masters Men hockey teams second World Cup tournament in the history. It participated in the 2018 World Cup held in Barcelona, Spain and won against Denmark by 2-1 in a ranking competition. This year, the over 35 age group will play its first match against Spain while the over 40 will play their first game against Germany at University Boulevard grounds in Nottingham on August 12, the first day of the tournament. The over 35 team will be led by P. Heenatigala, a former national hockey player who also has represented police and army in his career, while Upul Fernando, a Vennappuwa forward who is now playing for CH & FC will be the vice-captain. The over 40 team will be led by Devan Chaminda Perera, a double international (Hockey and Soccer) veteran who led both junior and senior Sri Lanka national hockey teams during his national duty, while Nadith Kudagama, one the best dribblers Sri Lanka has produced will be the vice-captain. The team will return on August 24 after the completion of the tournament. Sri Lanka National Masters Hockey Association is obliged to thank the dedicated coaches Otto Preena and Ashok Peiris who have molded and mentored the teams with their decades of international experience. Preena was the head coach when the Masters over 40 participated in the last World Cup in Spain. It is a tough tournament and we know it is not going to be easy, Duncan Devendra, the Secretary of Sri Lanka National Masters Hockey Association said. He further stated that Without this kind of exposure, we cannot improve hockey in this country where Sri Lanka was almost in par with India and Pakistan in 1960s and seventies. The Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau is the main sponsor of the World Cup participating teams while national carrier Sri Lankan Airlines has come forward as the official airline partner and Nippon Paint Lanka (Pvt) Ltd is the co-sponsor for the team. We are happy to be the main sponsor as we saw an opportunity to promote Sri Lanka tourism at the World Cup to boost forex inflows at a desperate time amid economic crisis. These hockey Masters could be the best Ambassadors to do that, says Mr. Chalaka Gajabahu, Chairman, Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau. Sports Tourism can be a major way of creating unity and friendship with other nations, and spreading a positive message about Sri Lanka to the world, giving a realistic image and a clear description about the island destination. These players are the ideal ambassadors to do so. With their performance and also with their representation, they will be able to encourage travelers from all across the world to be interested and seek more about Sri Lanka with its hospitality, friendly people, diversity and easy accessibility of locations, and also as their future travel destination. I see this as a marvelous opportunity to showcase Sri Lanka to the world, and also to bring more revenue to the country and rejuvenate the Tourism sector, which is crucial as Sri Lanka is facing a rather turbulent time. We also expect to host a similar world cup tournament as this in the near future, with 18 countries participating. So it will be another major influence on promoting the destination across the world. I wish the Sri Lanka Masters Hockey teams the best of luck with their endeavors to keep the nations flag flying high, and to continue with their good work, Mr. Gajabahu says. This is not a short term goal, but rather a long term one because many of the foreigners who hear about Sri Lanka could visit the country in the future. We see it as a golden opportunity through this partnership. he further added. Sri Lankan Airlines is the official airlines partner for the World Cup tour. It is a good niche place to market Sri Lankan Airlines and tourism. We see value in this partnership and for the first time, we are partnering with Sri Lanka Masters hockey men teams. We hope this will be a win-win partnership for the country, hockey, and the Airline, Richard Nuttall, the Sri Lankan Airline CEO, said. Nippon Paints Lanka (Pvt) Ltd has come on board as the cosponsor for the Worlds largest hockey carnival. We are thrilled in partnering with the veteran hockey teams and this is the first time we are doing something of this nature. Hockey is a sport that has been long neglected and needs to be nurtured carefully if we are to perform well. We do this as one of our corporate social responsibilities to improve the standards of the sport in the country, Nemantha Abeysinghe, the Group General Manager of Nippon Paint Lanka (Pvt) Ltd said. We are in fact delighted to have come on board with Sri Lanka Masters National Hockey Association for the recently concluded 9-A-side league tournament & the upcoming Masters tour of England 2022. We are planning to have a long-standing relationship with the Masters after having come for the first time as a sponsor for Hockey, Abeysinghe added.

Russia-Ukraine war: what we know on day 167 of the invasion
US to provide another $4.5bn to Ukraine; Moscow suspends nuclear arms inspections under treaty with Washington Ukraine has arrested two people working for Russian intelligence services who planned to kill the Ukrainian defence minister and the head of the countrys military intelligence agency , Ukraines domestic Security Service said on Monday. The Security Service of Ukraine foiled the plot by the Russian GRU military intelligence agency to use a sabotage group to carry out three murders including that of a prominent Ukrainian activist, the agency said. The United States will provide an additional $4.5bn (3.7bn) to Ukraines government , bringing its total budgetary support since Russias February invasion to $8.5bn (7bn), the US Agency for International Development has announced. The funding, coordinated with the US Treasury Department through the World Bank, will go to Ukraines government in tranches, beginning with a $3bn (2.5bn) disbursement in August, USAid, the Agency for International Development, said. Russia has suspended an arrangement that allowed US and Russian inspectors to visit each others nuclear weapons sites under the 2010 New Start treaty, in a new blow to arms control. Mutual inspections had been suspended as a health precaution since the start of the Covid pandemic, but a foreign ministry statement on Monday added another reason Russia is unwilling to restart them. It argued that US sanctions imposed because of the invasion of Ukraine stopped Russian inspectors travelling to the US. It is highly likely Russia is deploying anti-personnel mines to protect and deter freedom of movement along its defensive lines in Donetsk and Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraines Donbas region, according to the UK Ministry of Defence. The ministry called the PFM-1 and PFM-1S mines also known as butterfly mines deeply controversial and indiscriminate weapons with the potential to inflict widespread casualties among both the military and the local civilian population. Two more ships, carrying corn and soybean s, departed Ukrainian ports , taking the total to 10 ships carrying Ukrainian grain exports since the UN deal to unblock Ukraines grain exports was struck, Reuters reported. Future ships exporting Ukraine grain through the Black Sea will now be protected by a 10 nautical mile buffer zone, according to long-awaited procedures agreed by Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the United Nations. The first grain carrying ship to depart Ukrainian ports after the UN-brokered deal is looking for another port to unload its cargo after the initial Lebanese buyer refused delivery due to its five-month delay, Reuters reported. The head of Ukraines state nuclear power company Energoatom has called for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to be made a military-free zone , warning of the risk of a Chornobyl-style nuclear disaster after shelling of the site caused a reactor to shut down on Saturday . Russia and Ukraine continue to trade accusations over is responsible for the shelling, with the UN calling for international inspectors to be given access. According to reports from the head of the Russian-installed administration of the occupied Zaporizhzhia region, the nuclear power station is currently operating normally. The Russian-installed head of the occupied part of Ukraines Zaporizhzhia region signed a decree on Monday providing for a referendum on joining Russia , in the latest sign that Moscow is moving ahead with its plans to annex seized Ukrainian territory. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has ruled out any peace talks with Russia if the country proceeds with referendums in the occupied areas. The Kremlin said on Monday there was no basis for a meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents at the moment. Negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv have been stalled for months, with each side blaming the other for a lack of progress, Reuters reports. Continue reading...

Watfords Sarr scores from 60 yards but misses penalty in draw at West Brom
Ismala Sarr was Watfords hero and villain as he scored a stunning 60-yard chip before missing a penalty against West Brom in a 1-1 draw. Sarr gave Rob Edwards side a 12th-minute lead with a goal reminiscent of David Beckhams memorable strike at Wimbledon in 1996, before Karlan Grant equalised in first-half stoppage time. But Sarr missed a 73rd-minute penalty in a game controlled by Albion, who should have won at a canter. Continue reading...
