19 people killed after truck overturns in Gujarat
Nineteen people, including three children, were killed and six others were injured after a cement-laden truck they were travelling in overturned on a highway in Gujarat’s Bhavnagar.The victims were labourers from central Gujarat and were coming from Pipavav port.“Twenty-five people were in the open cement laden truck. The driver lost control while overtaking another vehicle on the highway and the truck turned turtle. Twelve women were among those killed,” a State government release said.The government has announced a compensation of ₹4 lakh each for the victims.“My thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives in the accident… I pray that those who have been injured in the accident recover at the earliest,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted.Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani asked the authorities to conduct an inquiry. The truck driver fled after the accident.
Perennial under-achievers at big-ticket ICC events, South Africa will start their campaign to shed the ‘chokers’ tag when they take on minnows Zimbabwe in their opening Group C match of the World Twenty20 in Hambantota on Thursday.The game should not prove too much of an ask for the Proteas as it would take a very special effort from Zimbabwe after being thrashed by hosts Sri Lanka in their opening match on Tuesday.On paper, it is a battle of unequals with the Ab de Villiers-led South Africa looking way too formidable for Brendan Taylor’s Zimbabwe. Whichever the department of the game, the South Africans stand far superior in talent and experience.And it would be tough for Zimbabwe to bounce back from the opening-match thrashing against a quality opposition, for whom winning this match would be good enough to make the Super Eight cut.Zimbabwe’s batting completely fell apart against Sri Lanka and chasing 182, the lineup folded for 100 with four batsmen contributing nothing to the total and two others falling for single-digit scores.Zimbabwe’s bowling effort too was pedestrian to say the least with the combined might of six managing to grab just one wicket.South Africa, on the other hand, is a team which once again looks good enough to go the distance but will have to improve their ability to handle pressure.”I think we have definitely put certain things in place to give ourselves the best chance. We have buckled in previous ICC events, so hopefully we can go all the way this time around,” said batsman J P Duminy.advertisementThe Proteas seem to have adapted well posting a good warm-up win over New Zealand in which most of their key batsmen got a good match practice.The form of Richard Levi, who clinched the ICC Twenty20 Performance of the Year, would be crucial along with the ever reliable Jacques Kallis and Hashim Amla.
Thimpu: After booking their spot in the final of the SAFF U-15 Women’s Championship, India head coach Alex Ambrose feels that his side needs to keep executing the good work that they have been carrying out in the last two games.”We need to ensure that our good work does not stop. We need to keep executing the same ideas, the same process,” Ambrose was quoted as saying by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) website. India is currently riding high on the back of a 10-1 victory over hosts Bhutan at the Chalimithang Stadium in Thimphu, and are placed atop the points table with six points.Bangladesh have also won their two matches but are behind India on goal difference.While the last group stage match would essentially be a dead rubber as both the teams have qualified for the final, Ambrose believes that his team needs to continue working hard.The coach also went on to state that Bangladesh are a technical side, but consistency in effort can push the Indian girls through against them.”We need to take all the positives from this game into the game against Bangladesh, who are a very technical side. They have some very good players in the team,” said Ambrose.However, the Bhutan win has given a lot of boost to the team, who, according to Ambrose, are ‘high on confidence’ after such a massive victory.”We had a good win against Bhutan. We played according to the plan, maintained possession, created chances, and took them. I’m sure the girls are high on confidence, and that’s what we want for their future development,” Ambrose said, adding: “This kind of thought and effort needs to continue, and we just want to be consistent throughout the tournament.” Get the best of News18 delivered to your inbox – subscribe to News18 Daybreak.

Man City boss Guardiola scoffs: Congratulations Liverpool, you’re champions!by Paul Vegasa month agoSend to a friendShare the loveManchester City boss Pep Guardiola has dismissed the significance of defeat to Norwich City.City were stunned by the newly promoted Canaries at Carrow Road, leaving them five points adrift of the table-topping Liverpool, who beat Newcastle to continue their perfect start to the season. However, Guardiola claimed that it is far too early to consider congratulating Liverpool on winning the title already, knowing plenty more twists and turns lie ahead.”Five points (behind Liverpool) is five points – but we are in September,” Guardiola said.“What are we supposed to do?

LANDOVER, MD – SEPTEMBER 1: A Texas Longhorns cheerleader holds up a sign during the Longhorns game against the Maryland Terrapins at FedExField on September 1, 2018 in Landover, Maryland. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)Four-star cornerback Joshua Eaton has had his top five schools in mind for a while now. After more than two months to come to a decision, it appears he’s ready to make his announcement.Last Thursday, Eaton cryptically tweeted out “August 23” – indicating that he could be picking his college on Friday. Back in June, Eaton revealed his top five list, consisting of Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Alabama and Florida.247Sports rates Eaton as the No. 335 overall prospect in the country. He is the No. 28 cornerback in the nation, and the No. 51 recruit from the state of Texas.Eaton earned all-district honors in his junior year at Aldine MacArthur High School in Texas.August 23…….. #JoshTheIslander— JE🦜1 (@JoshuaEaton_1) August 16, 2019I’m just trying to find a place I can call home . #Hookem 🤘🏾#GigEm👍🏾#RollTide 🐘#GoGators 🐊#BoomerSooners 💉Final 5️⃣…….. pic.twitter.com/AKjeXCq0Ij— JE🦜1 (@JoshuaEaton_1) June 17, 2019According to BurntOrangeNation, Eaton initially planned to announce the decision earlier this month. Had he done so, Texas A&M was considered the most likely selection.Since then, the Longhorns have become the prohibitive favorite to secure his commitment. His only visits this year have been to Texas and Texas A&M.Though he has yet to take an official visit, he has made multiple visits to both schools in the past 12 months.247Sports’ Crystal Ball Predictions currently give the Longhorns the edge to land him. All 11 analysts have predicted him to land in Austin.Could Joshua Eaton be the next star defensive back for Texas?
Young Nova Scotians are encouraged to get “financially fit” by taking part in an interactive, online contest this February. The contest, sponsored by the Canadian Securities Administrators and co-ordinated locally by the Nova Scotia Securities Commission runs from Monday, Feb. 4 to Friday, Feb. 29. Youth aged 15 to 21 can play games, take a quiz, try interactive simulations, and get financial tips to learn the importance of saving and investing money for the future. Thirteen entries, one from each province and territory, will be randomly selected from eligible quiz participants to win a $750 scholarship. In 2007, nearly 1,400 young people participated and registered to win the contest, which aims to make smart money management cool for an increasingly web-savvy generation. “Young people are often more keen than you would think to learn about saving and investing, especially at an age where they hold their first part-time or summer jobs, and are trying to save for an education,” said Natalie MacLellan, investor education officer with the Nova Scotia Securities Commission. The contest features exciting interactive games such as Slapshot Shopping, where players are given $200 of virtual money to purchase a number of necessities and luxuries. The game uses humour and Canada’s love affair with hockey, to teach the importance of balancing financial needs versus wants. Other games and warm-ups include The Tradeoffs, an overview of different investment types, A Little Goes a Long Way, a compound interest simulator, and Budget Breakaway, a student-focused budget calculator. The quiz features questions and facts about budgeting, saving and investing, in a format directly focused on the experience of students. Teachers are encouraged to use the challenge as a fun and informative learning tool. They can download teachers’ resource materials off the web site and enter a contest for a chance to win gift certificates or a $1,000 grand prize. The financial fitness contest is available online at www.financialfitnesschallenge.ca . The Canadian Securities Administrators is a council of securities regulators that co-ordinate and harmonize regulation for Canadian capital markets. Its mandate is to protect investors from unfair or fraudulent practices through regulation of the securities industry. Part of this protection is educating investors about the risk, responsibilities and rewards of investing. As regulator for the securities industry in Nova Scotia, the Nova Scotia Securities Commission works to protect investors from practices and activities that tend to undermine investor confidence in the fairness and efficiency of capital markets. Part of the Nova Scotia Securities Commission mandate is to improve the financial literacy of youth.
The Canadian Press OTTAWA — The federal NDP’s reconciliation critic says the justification used for the RCMP’s intervention of a blockade in northern British Columbia is “pretty lame” in the era of reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.Romeo Saganash joined demonstrators on Parliament Hill today before a group marched through downtown Ottawa streets with signs including a large red sign stating “RCMP Off Wet’suwet’en Land.”The Mounties say they were enforcing the injunction from the B.C. Supreme Court in removing anyone who interferes with the Coastal GasLink project in and around the Morice River Bridge.Members of the Gidimt’en clan of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation have set up a camp and a checkpoint southwest of Houston, B.C., on a forest-service road that leads to a pipeline construction site.Coastal GasLink says it has signed agreements with all First Nations along the route but demonstrators say Wet’suwet’en house chiefs, who are hereditary rather than elected, have not given consent.Saganash says he did not hear back from the provincial and federal Indigenous affairs ministers that he asked to help alleviate tension in northern B.C. prior to the arrests by the Mounties.

EAMON DUNPHY SAYS it’s time for Giovanni Trapattoni to walk away from the Ireland job.The RTÉ football panellist says the Italian doesn’t do enough to justify his FAI salary, which is supplemented by businessman Denis O’Brien.Ireland were hammered 6-1 at home to Germany on Friday night and the Italian faces yet more problems in the camp ahead of tomorrow night’s Faroe Islands test.“I think he’s taking us for a ride to be honest,” Dunphy said on Today FM earlier. “He’s getting a lot of money and there’s very little work involved.”“When Mick McCarthy left the job he actually didn’t take a pay off, he walked and it was a very honourable thing to do,” he continued.“Trap will tell you and he told the press that he was doing a great job, that we’ve moved up the world rankings and by implication, the players aren’t good enough. He doesn’t know enough about the players and he’s the one getting the €1.8million and he has to be at the matches in my view.” Today’s Irish Independent suggests Trapattoni and his assistant Marco Tardelli could be sacked within the week — and Dunphy reckons one-time Ireland player, Owen Coyle, could be the man to fill the role.“There are managers out there,” he told Ray D’Arcy. “Owen Coyle was a very good manager at Burnley, he went to Bolton and didn’t do so well. But I like him, he’s got a lot of character, he’s a passionate guy and he’d know the players. This is the problem, this man does not know these players because he hasn’t seen them playing consistently. And you have to know the difference between Shane Long who didn’t start on Friday night and Simon Cox who did. “The other problem is that they won’t be able to sell the tickets to the Aviva. Germany are an attraction but when we play the Faroe Islands and Kazakhstan, Austria and Sweden, that stadium will be pretty empty. And that’s a real problem.“So the FAI have a big decision to make and if they don’t make the right decision — which is to pay him off and get a better manager — the consequences will be dire. So it’s a lose-lose situation.”Stephen Kelly persuaded to board Faroes flight after management bust-up – reports
RIDGEFIELD — Lynn Marzette felt the stress that police officers sometimes feel on the job Saturday. Participating in five police training scenarios, twice he failed to get his Taser stun gun out of its holster.“The stupid thing will not come out,” said Marzette, chairman of the Legal Redress Committee for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Marzette said he thought he’d be better handling the device with a few days’ practice.Officer Danielle Wass, who shadowed and instructed Marzette throughout the trainings, afterward asked Marzette to recall details, such as what an officer role-playing as a suicidal man had yelled during their encounter and what crimes appear to have been committed.“He was close enough to the other people (actors playing distraught witnesses) to cause serious bodily injury,” Marzette told the officer. “I could have just shot him, but they were trying to help him.”The police department planned the training for members of the Chief’s Diversity Advisory Team after two presentations in the previous months covering use of force, both lethal and nonlethal.
Dan Cohen AUTHOR Luke Air Force Base and the surrounding West Valley region of Phoenix on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding outlining the structure of the Luke Community Partnership program, an initiative aimed at enhancing mission effectiveness and reducing costs.“Through the program, we have identified requirements and needs amongst all the partners and collaborated to strengthen the mission capability of Luke Air Force Base, while at the same time, increasing the economic vitality and quality of life for the surrounding community,” said Brig. Gen. Scott Pleus, 56th Fighter Wing commander.Thirteen municipalities, including Phoenix, and Maricopa County are participating in the partnership, reported Your West Valley. The initiative comes to the West Valley as the Air Force Community Partnership program enters its fourth year.“It’s a continuing signal that Luke is not just an Air Force base, but an active participant in this great West Valley community,” said Col. James Kossler, 56th Mission Support Group commander.Examples of partnerships in other Air Force communities include:doctors and dentists at Robins AFB, Ga., obtain training needed to earn continuing medical education credits at local community hospitals, eliminating travel costs for Air Force personnel; andHill AFB, Utah, officials established a satellite pharmacy in underutilized space at the new base exchange, increasing the number of prescriptions filled, recapturing workload from retail network pharmacies, and increasing foot traffic and sales at the exchange.

MotoMan SDA10, developed by Yaskawa Technology, makes an omelet. Image credit: AFP BB News. It seems one of the most popular tasks for household robots is making omelets. Two recent robots – MotoMan SDA10 developed by Yaskawa Technology and Cogniron developed by researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) – were both taught how to cook the perfect omelet.At a recent robot fair in Osaka, Japan, Yaskawa Technology demonstrated Motoman SDA10 as it cooked an omelet, or “Okonomiyaki cake,” in front of crowds. The humanoid mixed together the batter, eggs, cheese, and cabbage, and then flipped and fried the omelet. The company explained that a robot that has the flexibility to make omelets (Motoman SDA10 has seven axes of movement per arm) can also perform a variety of other jobs, such as assembling digital cameras.Meanwhile, in Switzerland, researchers at EPFL’s Learning Algorithms and Systems Laboratory (LASA) are developing a humanoid that progressively learns to cook an omelet from a human instructor. The Chief Cook Robot is part of the lab´s Cogniron (Cognitive Robot Companion) project. Cogniron is intended to be not just a ready-made device, but an “artificial creature” that continually improves its abilities by acquiring new knowledge and skills. As a cook robot, the Cogniron remembers the exact movements as demonstrated by a human, and repeats the movements to perform tasks such as whipping eggs, cutting ham, and grating cheese. EPFL’s Learning Algorithms and Systems Laboratory: http://lasa.epfl.chvia: Register Hardware © 2008 PhysOrg.com (PhysOrg.com) — No “house of the future” is complete without a household robot to do the cooking and cleaning. Although today´s robots still have a ways to go before substituting for a real live-in maid, researchers are working on their development.

To get rid of monotonous hairstyles we bring you some quick step-by-step pointers to get the right look. Choosing different hairstyles and making them in rush is always a fuss so get rid of your bad hair day by trying fishtail braid or messy bun to accentuate your style quotient and become a diva. The best part of these hairstyles are that they don’t have to be perfect. Makeover consultant Aashmeen Munjaal offers her guide. Fish Tail Braid for summers Also Read – ‘Playing Jojo was emotionally exhausting’ : Ensure that your hair is clean and shiny.. Comb and remove any tangles. If you have flyaways, use a smoothing cream. Divide your hair into two large sections, straight down the middle of your hair. Decide which direction you’ll weave; you can weave from right to left or left to right.Pull a thin strand of hair from the outside of the first section. Pull this strand over the first section, and add it under the second section on the other side.In other words, the strand of hair has gone over the first section and finishes under the second section. Also Read – Leslie doing new comedy special with NetflixThe skinnier the strand you use, the more intricate the braid will look. In general, try to use the same thickness for each strand throughout or your braid will look uneven. The fishtail braid can be as neat or as messy as you’d like, depending on the occasion. Finish the fishtail braid off by tying your hair with an hair bobble or elastic. Add a cute ribbon, barrette or charm to give it some personality .Braids look nice on diamond or oval shaped face. Your face looks good with any braided hairstyle. Messy Bun : Apply a heat protective, straightening cream on mid length to end of your hair and use a full volume mousse towards the roots to towel-dried hair. Blow-dry four-inch sections of hair (using medium heat), holding the hairdryer a little away from your head, and use a paddle brush to straighten and smooth each section. Pull your hair into a loose ponytail and secure it with elastic at your crown. Twist and wrap your hair into a messy bun, then loops the ends through the elastic. Mist your entire head with a hairspray to secure your style .Use a colorful headband as an accessory to turn any loose bun into a chic style.
