Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik inaugurated the much-awaited ₹431-crore Janibili drinking water project for Berhampur and rural areas of Ganjam district on Sunday.During the ceremony in Berhampur, he also launched the ‘Smart Park’ scheme for 114 urban centres in the State. As part of the ongoing ‘Unnati Yojana’ in the State, more than 200 parks with an array of amenities will be developed in these urban areas over the next six months at a cost of ₹200 crore.Mr. Patnaik said that the State government has decided to implement the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations for all employees of urban local bodies in Odisha. Another project launched was renovation and development of crematoriums with toilets, changing rooms, drinking water facility and provision for devotional music in these urban centres. This project is being taken up at a cost of ₹200 crore.First phase of the Janibili project became operational from Sunday. The government has termed it the first ‘integrated mega water supply project’ of Odisha. Apart from Berhampur, this project will benefit Berhampur city and 53 villages in 16 panchayats. As per an estimate, it will supply 300 lakh litres of drinking water to over five lakh inhabitants of these areas through a 253-km-long network of pipeline.A large reservoir has been built at Janibili in Dharakote block of Ganjam district. Water would be brought to Jagdalpur on the outskirts of Berhampur for purification by a 55-km-long pipeline. The 53 villages on the pipeline’s path will also get water from it. Earlier Berhampur was getting 54 Million Litres per Day from the Dakhinpur reservoir and the Rushikulya drinking water supply system, while its requirement was 64 MLD or more. Drinking water was becoming too scarce during the summer months and had to be supplied through tankers to several areas of the city.

Toure has enjoyed an illustrious career that has seen him play for some of the biggest names in European football including Barcelona, Man City and Monaco, but it is with Man City that he hit his career best in form, scoring 79 career goals and winning three Premier League titles, one FA Cup, two EFL Cups and one Community Shield.He is an Africa Cup of Nations champion with the Ivory Coast in 2015 and was named African Footballer of the Year on four occasions for four consecutive years (2011-2015) as well as Manchester City Player of the Year in 2013-14.Toure’s net worth has been estimated at £54m ($70m) by the website Celebrity Net Worth.How much does Yaya Toure earn?

Rangers have made an almost flawless start to the season but on Thursday face their biggest test yet as they tackle Midtjylland at the MCH Arena.Steven Gerrard’s side are unbeaten both in friendly and competitive play this term and on Sunday received a major boost as they overcame Kilmarnock 2-1 thanks to a late Connor Goldson effort. Having only taken two points from a possible 12 against the Rugby Park side in the league last season, this was a very welcome success.Now thoughts turn back towards Europe, where the Gers are seeking to reach the group stage of the Europa League for the second season in succession. Two qualifying rounds have already been negotiated with ease, but there is little doubt that the challenge becomes harder this time around.Speaking after the draw against Progres last week, Gerrard admitted that his side would “have to play better” to overcome their seeded rivals.Midtjylland are seeking to reach the group stage for just the second time in their history, though when they did before they recorded a stunning two-legged victory over Southampton and even beat Louis van Gaal’s Manchester United 2-1 at home before succumbing 5-1 in the return leg.Since then, they have fallen in the play-off round three times, against Osmanlispor, Apollon Limassol and Malmo.“I think our chance of going through is 50-50, but it will be insanely difficult,” former Celtic man Erik Sviatchenko admitted. “It’s going to be two exciting ties – Rangers will come to Denmark with a lot of fans and they have a really strong team.“I had the pleasure of playing against them five times while at Celtic. Rangers are physical and fast.“But we are at home in the first leg and I think we have a chance if we can keep another clean sheet – something we have being doing a lot of recently.“We have one aim and that is to get into the Europa League group stage.”The two clubs share the same goal but only one can progress, with the winner set for a showdown against Legia Warsaw or Atromitos.

This man, made me run like in a fitness test @msdhoni pic.twitter.com/pzkr5zn4pGVirat Kohli (@imVkohli) September 12, 2019Kohli produced a sublime 82 not out off 51 balls to help India defeat Australia by six wickets and advance to the semifinals. Kohli took charge at a crucial time in what was a virtual quarterfinal, smashing 9 fours and 2 sixes as India reached 161-4 off 19.1 overs in reply to Australia’s 160-6.The No. 3 batsman added 67 off only 31 deliveries with captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (18 not out) after a useful 45-run stand for the fourth wicket with Yuvraj Singh (21) as India scored 59 runs in the last 4.1 overs of the Group 2 game.Kohli, who had also guided India to a six-wicket win over Pakistan with 55 not out, remained calm during his 15th T20 half-century after Shikhar Dhawan (13), Rohit Sharma (12) and Suresh Raina (10) failed to get going with India struggling at 49-3 in the eighth over.Kohli batted himself in with Yuvraj and then took the initiative, smashing 19 off the 18th over bowled by James Faulkner and 16 off the 19th from Nathan Coulter-Nile to the delight of more than 25,000 fans.Dhoni hit Faulkner for a four down the ground to complete a memorable win that set up the 2007 champions against 2012 winners West Indies in the semifinals in Mumbai.Virat Kohli rated the innings among his top three. This is what he has to say at the post-match ceremony. No prizes for guessing the Man of the Match.”Thank you. Firstly, I would like to thank the crowd for coming out and supporting us; the support today was unbelievable. They (the crowd) push you through tough times. This is what you play cricket for. You don’t like these situations because they are tough. I don’t know what to say, because I am overwhelmed by the situation we were in and to win from there was quite an effort. MS kept me calm in the end; I could have got overexcited. Overall good team effort and very happy with my personal contribution.”Yuvraj wanted to see where he was going after he twisted his ankle. But he stuck in and a few boundaries helped, and then he decided to go for the team’s cause. He perished but he made a great call. He wasn’t able to push as you want him to push as a runner. He’s such an explosive player that you don’t want to have him at 60-70 percent. Dhoni and I have always run well between the wickets. We have a great understanding of where to hit the ball. You do that gym fitness for this. When I’m tired, I should be able to run as fast as when I’m on zero. All those trainings paid off today. This innings has to be in the Top 3. But I am a bit emotional, so I will put this on top.”advertisementAlso Read | Don Bradman, Viv Richards, Sunil Gavaskar and himself: All in danger of being beaten by Steve SmithAlso Read | Ashes: James Anderson has restarted the cycle of excuses, says Michael VaughanFor sports news, updates, live scores and cricket fixtures, log on to indiatoday.in/sports.

Tosaku Nishida, was the youngest of eight siblings. He lost two of his oldest brothers to World War II. After his oldest remaining brother left home, Tosaku was left with the responsibility of providing for his family. Despite the challenges, his experience working at a textile mill led him to found what would become Goldwin ski apparel, a world-leading sportswear brand based in Japan.Goldwin, established in 1950 as a small manufacturing company, was originally known as Tsuzawa Knit Fabric Factory and made high-quality wool hiking socks. The team eventually began creating its own products in 1958. However, it wasn’t until the early 1960s that the company would gain attention on the global stage.Drawing inspiration from ancient Greece and the origin of the Olympic Games, the company changed its name to Goldwin in 1963. Historically, the victors in those early games were awarded wreathes of laurel leaves and those champions were called “gold winners.” Harkening back to their roots as a knit fabric manufacturer, Goldwin eventually utilized their technology to perfect and improve the production of ski sweaters and set the standard for function, style, and sophistication on the slopes in the ’60s.The brand was well represented at 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Of the sixteen Japanese gold medalists that year, twelve of them were wearing Goldwin sportswear. The company maintained a steady presence in the 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympics and the Mexico City Summer Olympics, and again in 1972 at the Sapporo Winter Olympics and the Munich Summer Olympics. Over the next several decades, Goldwin would sign license agreements with (and become distributors of) other recognized brands, including Champion, The North Face, Ellesse, Danskin, and Helly Hansen.From its humble beginnings as sock maker to now, Goldwin remains committed to creating apparel with meticulous attention to detail, minimalism, and designs of the highest quality. The company currently creates one ski collection each season, as well as two lifestyle collections per year.Here are our three top picks from the current selection.Ski Jacket, $419While it may have an ’80s retro design, it has all of the technical features in a lightweight, breathable, and packable jacket. The Primaloft insulation provides warmth and comfort from post-consumer recycled materials.Coverall Shirt, $199This classic coverall shirt is designed for work and play, a perfect testament to style and function. Features include two hand pockets, lined chest panels, and an interior pocket.Hooded Spur Down Coat, $1,299Goldwin’s down coat is designed to be at home in the mountains or navigating the urban landscape. Available in both wool and Gore-Tex fabric, the down baffle construction insures superior warmth without the bulkiness.Editor’s Note: This article is part of The Manual’s larger Journey to Japan travel guide.

The Office of Regulatory Affairs and Service Effectiveness announced the new targets today, June 27. “Since we created the office, the team has worked hard to improve the business environment in our province and make Nova Scotia a national leader in regulatory efficiency,” said Premier Stephen McNeil. “The office is getting results, and will build on that momentum over the next year to help even more businesses and expand its work to benefit the public and non-profit organizations.” The office was created to lead government’s efforts, in partnership with departments, to improve the regulatory environment to support business and economic growth. “The office has become a leading force in Canada, modernizing how government interacts with business,” said Jordi Morgan, vice-president Atlantic, Canadian Federation of Independent Business. “By driving the principles of efficiency, better customer service, measurement and accountability, the office has improved government’s regulatory system.” Government exceeded its goal of $25 million in annual savings for businesses, reaching $34 million by the end of 2018. The new $10 million target means, when achieved, government would have reduced overall regulatory burden on businesses by nearly $45 million annually between 2017 to 2020. Working with the Department of Service Nova Scotia and Internal Services, the office will also expand red tape reduction efforts beyond businesses to reduce the time citizens and non-profit organizations spend on government forms and processes by 50,000 hours by 2020. “As a first-time entrepreneur, the business navigator service was a great benefit,” said Joe Tinney, owner of Open Book Coffee in Halifax. “Knowing that I had someone to help me through each step of the regulation process allowed me to put my mind at ease and focus on other aspects of my business.” Inspired by the success of its business navigator service, the office will pilot an inspection navigator service, a first in Canada. The inspection navigator will work with small businesses and entrepreneurs during their startup period to guide them through the various inspections required for their businesses.

OTTAWA – After more than a year of talks, Canada finalized a revamped free-trade deal with the United States and Mexico. The new deal, dubbed the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, will replace the North American Free Trade Agreement. Here are some key elements of the new deal:GETTING MILKED: Trump frequently railed against Canada’s dairy industry throughout the trade talks, calling it unfair to the United States. The new deal grants the U.S. access to 3.6 per cent of the Canadian dairy market, a move roundly criticized by domestic dairy farmers. The access given to the U.S. is slightly more than the 3.25 per cent conceded in the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal with Pacific Rim countries. Aside from new quotas on American ice cream, there will also be increases in access for American poultry and eggs, in exchange for greater access south for Canadian peanuts and sugar.TARIFFS AND TAUNTS: Trump joked that the deal wouldn’t have been made without tariffs, specifically on Canadian-made steel and aluminum, which prompted tit-for-tat retaliatory tariffs from Canada on a number of U.S. goods. And as negotiations dragged on, Trump threatened to slap Canada’s auto industry with significant tariffs — a threat apparently now dodged. The deal says the first 2.6 million Canadian autos exported to the U.S. will be exempted from tariffs, a figure well above the current export rate of 1.8 million. But the steel tariffs remain in place and Trump has given no indication when he might lift them.ATTENTION SHOPPERS: The trade deal raises the threshold for duty-free purchases online from American retailers. When the deal takes effect, shoppers won’t pay duties until their online purchase is worth more than $150 — a significant bump from the current threshold of $20. But there’s more: Language in the agreement no longer requires companies — such as Google or Microsoft, for example — to put a data centre in Canada in order to do business here, meaning Canadians’ information could be housed south of the border and subject to American laws.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: The rules around copyright and intellectual property are set to change. On copyright, the length of time after a creator’s death that they maintain rights will move to 70 years from 50. On pharmaceuticals, new biologics — drugs made from natural sources — will be copyright protected for 10 years, up from the current eight, an extension that analysts believe will benefit U.S. companies over Canadian firms and delay when Canadian patients can access cheaper, generic versions of drugs.RESOLVING QUARRELS: Two of Ottawa’s key sticking points throughout the talks involved holding on to dispute-resolution tools and decades-old cultural exemptions that leave Canada in control of its own media content, from broadcasting to publishing to music. The USMCA preserves what was known as Chapter 19, which allows independent panels to resolve disputes over tariffs and duties, as well as Chapter 20, the government-to-government dispute-settlement mechanism. Chapter 11, which allows companies to sue governments over perceived mistreatment, has been dumped.TURNOVER ON DOWNS: The National Football League and Bell Media lost their 2017 legal challenges to sack a CRTC decision that banned the long-time practice of Canadian advertisers inserting their ads into Super Bowl broadcasts over the more popular American ones. They now appear to have a win. The University of Ottawa’s Michael Geist points out on his blog that wording in the new trade deal would see Canada “rescind the CRTC policy with a requirement that all programs be treated equally.” Result? American ads could be punted from Canadian airwaves during the big game. It was one of many cultural issues in the deal, but the language around a decades-old cultural exemption remains in place, leaving Canada in control of its own media content, from broadcasting to publishing to music.INDIGENOUS RIGHTS: The Liberals pushed inclusion of a new chapter on Indigenous rights in the trade deal. In the end, the chapter turned into provisions sprinkled through the text, including one allowing governments to enact measures needed to meet their legal obligations to Indigenous Peoples. Similarly, a gender chapter didn’t materialize as originally envisioned.TRADING PLACES: There is also language in the deal that requires any of the three partners to notify the others when they start or finish trade agreement talks with a non-market economy — like China — and gives the other partners a say in the text of that deal. While this language is new, the list of professions that can more easily enter another partner country on a temporary basis hasn’t been updated to include, for instance, many tech jobs.

New Delhi: The BJP National Secretary RP Singh at a presser on Wednesday accused the Aam Aadmi Party of having double standards, saying that the party is betraying the Sikh community by choosing to ally with Congress. Singh said that whileon the one hand, AAP had promised justice for Sikhs by jailing people responsible for the 1984 massacre, it seems to hell-bent on going ahead with the Congress alliance on the other hand. Singh said that despite having over 90 per cent seats in the Delhi Assembly, the AAP wants to ally with Congress, which doesn’t have even have a single MLA. He added that Arvind Kejriwal’s party had in 2015 claimed in its “Delhi Dialogue” that senior Congress leader might have been involved in the 1984 riots. “Today, Kejriwal meets Sheila Dikshit and takes photographs with her. She is the person against whom he had claimed to have charges of corruption running 370 pages and also talked about sending her to jail,” he said. Singh claimed that despite promising action against Congress leaders involved in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in their manifesto, investigation in the cases has hit hurdles. He claimed that witnesses weren’t being deposed properly and that victims of the violent riots are still living in dilapidated buildings in colonies like Tilak Nagar with no access to education, healthcare, or employment. “Today we want to ask them where are those employment opportunities which were to be offered to the victims,” Singh, who was joined by Delhi BJP Vice-President Rajiv Babbar said. Singh further claimed that AAP MLAs had withdrawn a resolution to revoke Rajiv Gandhi’s Bharat Ratna after pressure from Congress leaders. “At that moment the people of Delhi understood that there is connivance between Congress & Aam Aadmi Party,” he said. Singh said, “Aam Aadmi Party’s Head Arvind Kejriwal is adding insult to injury of the Sikhs by trying to form an alliance with the Congress.” In addition to this, Babbar said that Narendra Modi after becoming Prime Minister had formed a Special Investigation Team for an impartial probe into the cases related to the 1984 violence. He claimed that the probe has resulted in the life imprisonment of a former Congress MP and that another leader is absconding. But Babbar said this goes to show that the Modi-led government is determined about fulfilling its promises to the Sikh community.

Tweet thisShare on FacebookEmail this article Image: LMFM The scene in the retail park yesterday. A MAN IS fighting for his life in hospital after he was shot five times, including once in the neck, in a planned gangland attack in Drogheda, Louth, yesterday. The victim of the attack, a man in his 30s, was walking out of a shop in the M1 Retail Park on the outskirts of the Louth town when a car drove by and discharged a number of shots in his direction. The victim was travelling with two other men at the time. They sustained no physical injuries. The man managed to make his way to Our Lady Of Lourdes Hospital where his condition is described as being critical.The victim is related to Drogheda criminal Owen Maguire, who himself was shot four times at his home in July 2018 as part of this feud. Owen Maguire has a number of convictions including for threats to kill and affray. He is well-known to gardaí in the area. As a result of yesterday’s shooting, gardaí are putting in place an operation designed to quell any sporadic revenge attacks on the rival gang. This will include high-visibility patrols around the Moneymore and Cement Road areas of the town. Undercover armed gardaí will also be stationed around the town. The Armed Support Unit is also on standby. The feudThe two feuding gangs have been vying for the lucrative drug trade in the town with reports from local representatives that some children are being forced to work in criminality as a result. On 5 July, Owen Maguire was shot a number of times at his home on Cement Road in Drogheda. He somehow survived being shot at least four times at close range with a handgun.Since this shooting, the two gangs have been exchanging tit-for-tat attacks – mainly in the form of firing shots at people’s homes. But violence erupted laste last year between the two gangs – one predominantly comprising members of the Traveller community, the other settled men. In November of last year, a man in his 20s was found beaten and with stab wounds in a bathroom of a house. The man sustained serious wounds to his face and body. Gardaí understand the attackers targeted the man’s knees with a knife. Drugs crisisDrug use and dependency is a growing problem for many in the Louth town.Louise Mahony, manager of the Red Door Project addiction centre in Drogheda, said she has seen a huge increase in the number of people contacting its service. Drugs, she says, have always been a problem but now they’re getting more calls from concerned parents who say their child has racked up large debts. “We are an addiction service and community employment scheme – I suppose we’re not your average one. We take people in for recovery – we take everyone so long as you’re able to stand up. “From our point of view there’s a long history of things in Drogheda being under-resourced and we’re one of them. We’ve had a very low budget for a while now and it hasn’t changed. More people are coming in looking for help and we’re supposed to do it with the same level of funding. Year on year, everything is getting worse.”Regarding yesterday’s gun attack, gardaí said they are looking for information about a dark coloured Volkswagen Passat seen driving from the retail park in the aftermath of the attack. A spokesman said: “At about 2.45 pm a man in his 30s left a premises in the M1 Retail Park in Drogheda and got into a white Vauxhall Astra with two other men. A black Volkswagen Passat with the partial registration 132 D pulled up close to the Astra and a number of shots were fired into the Astra. The man in his 30s, a passenger in the car, was struck at least once. The other two occupants were not injured.“The driver of the white Astra managed to drive from the scene and went to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital where the injured man is being treated for serious injuries.“Anyone with information is asked to contact Drogheda Garda Station on 041 9874200. https://jrnl.ie/4514579 Feb 27th 2019, 12:05 AM Relative of well-known Drogheda criminal fights for life after retail park shooting The victim is related to Drogheda criminal Owen Maguire. 12 Comments

22,672 Views Pickets to be placed at 34 branches of Lloyds Pharmacy tomorrow Over 200 pharmacy workers will hold a two-hour picket between 10am and midday. File photo of a Lloyds Pharmacy in England. Jun 21st 2018, 5:33 PM Thursday 21 Jun 2018, 5:32 PM 22 Comments A SECOND DAY of strike action is set to take place at 34 Lloyds Pharmacy outlets around the country tomorrow in a row over pay.Over 200 pharmacy workers will hold a two-hour picket between 10am and midday.Trade union Mandate has accused the company of utilising zero-hours contracts. Lloyds itself put out a statement earlier accusing the union of misleading the media saying “we do not have, and never had, zero-hour contracts”.All part-time workers were given notice of working hours six weeks in advance, the company said, and the contracts they were on were aligned to the needs of the business.A union spokesperson said, however, that the company was misleading the media.“We have members coming to us and showing us their contracts today, some of whom have been employed in recent weeks, and they are clearly zero hour contracts,” Gerry Light, Mandate Assistant General Secretary, said.A copy of a contract shared by Mandate states: “Your normal hours of work are flexible as agreed with your Manager, spread over up [sic] 5 days between Monday and Sunday and may include late night and weekend work.” By Daragh Brophy File photo of a Lloyds Pharmacy in England.

The company said only 13% of employees had been balloted ahead of the strike action.Lloyds said progress had been made addressing the issues at the heart of the dispute at its employee negotiating body, the Colleague Representative Committee.Light, from the union, insisted however that the CRC had no mandate to address worker concerns, describing it as “a sophisticated anti-union tactic imported from the United States in order to ensure workers do not have the right to independent representation”.An initial day of action targeting the pharmacy chain was held earlier this month.The dispute arose after the retailer rejected a recommendation from the Labour Court that it negotiate with Mandate over pay conditions.Lloyds said in a statement:“We wish to assure patients once more that a full plan is in place to minimise its impact. With the hard work and professionalism of our team, disruption was curtailed last week, with only four stores closing for the one-hour period of the strike. We are confident that despite tomorrow’s action, stores will be open and patients’ needs will be met. We thank our patients for their support.”It added:“The next phase of CRC engagement is underway. We have indicated our commitment to speedily delivering further affordable improvements, including on pay scales.”
Des Français plus à l’aise face au handicap mentalFrance – Un sondage Ipsos révèle que les Français éprouvent de moins en moins de gêne lorsqu’ils sont confrontés à une personne handicapée. Les idées préconçues à ce sujet semblent toutefois encore bien présentes.Ce sondage réalisé entre le 5 et le 6 mars auprès de 1.009 personnes révèle que 85% d’entre elles affirment n’éprouver aucune gêne face au handicap mental. 80% déclarent connaître ce qu’est la maladie et 78% disent avoir déjà parlé avec une personne handicapée mentale. Pourtant, les préjugés concernant le handicap semblent encore perdurer : 36% des sondés pensent qu’une personne handicapée mentale n’est pas consciente de sa différence et 30% qu’elle ne peut pas être autonome. 84% d’entre eux pensent pourtant que les handicapés mentaux sont victimes de discriminations importantes dans la société. Ce sondage a été l’occasion pour l’Union nationale des associations de parents, de personnes handicapées mentales et de leurs amis (Unapei) d’organiser une campagne de sensibilisation ce mardi 4 mai. Baptisée “Ensemble, c’est tout !”, elle permettra de confronter les citoyens aux 700.000 handicapés mentaux vivant en France, des “individus invisibles” selon Thierry Nouvel, le directeur général de la fédération.Le 5 mai 2010 à 10:38 • Emmanuel Perrin
