DERBY (England): India women's cricket team launched their campaign at the ICC WOMENS WORLD CUP with a comfortable 35-run win over England, riding on superb batting display by the top-order on Saturday.

Put into bat, Smriti mandhanastruck a sizzling 90 off 72 balls in a dominating batting display as India posted an imposing 281 for three after being asked to bat.

Mandhana forged a 144-run opening wicket stand with Punam Raut (86 off 134) before skipper Mithali Raj(71) completed an unprecedented seventh consecutive half century in ODIs.

India then returned to dismiss England for 246 with 15 balls to spare to make a resounding start to their World Cup campaign at the County Ground here.

It is India's first win over England in five years as they had all lost all six previous matches to the hosts.

Chasing 282 to win, England failed to build partnership with middle-order batswoman Fran Wilson (81 off 102) emerging as the highest scorer. Her run out proved turning point of the game since England looked cruising when she was at the crease.

Off-spinner Deepti Sharma took three wickets for 47 runs.

Tammy Beaumont (14) and Sarah Taylor (22) gave England a decent start adding 33 in 8 overs but SHIKHA PANDEY removed the openers and Deepti Sharma dismissed Natalie Sciver (18) as England slipped to 67 for 3 in the 18th over.

Heather Knight (46) and Wilson took the team across the 100-mark. But Knight was back into the hut in the 32nd over after being run out by Harmanpreet Kaur.

Three overs later, Danielle Wyatt was caught and bowled by Sharma as England lost half their side.

Wilson then in company of Katherine Brunt (24) tried to keep them in the hunt as the duo added 62 runs but both of them were run outs to dash England's hopes.

Earlier, Indian openers Mandhana and Raut batted for 26.5 overs. While Raut was solid at the other end, Mandhana was out to attack from the word go.

The southpaw's onslaught began when she smashed Katherine Brunt for four consecutive boundaries in the fourth over.

Mandhana was a last-minute inclusion to the squad after she recovered from an Anterior Crucial Ligament (ACL) injury she suffered during the Women's Big Bash in January.

The 20-year-old during her whirlwind effort showed what she was worth the selection.

She can hit not only the fours at will but also the big hits. Mandhana mostly stayed on the back foot in her free flowing knock. Her first six came as she sat back on backfoot to hammer it over wide long-on.

She was majorly responsible for giving India a flying start as the team reached 59 in 10 overs.

However, things slowed down in the next 10 overs with India reaching 97 for no loss in 20 overs. If it was not for that period, India could have easily crossed the 300-run mark.

Mandhana was dismissed in the 27th over, missing out on a well-deserved century. Her innings comprised 11 fours and two sixes.

Captain Raj then joined Raut in the middle and carried on with her rich vein of form to take India to a competitive total. Raj smashed eight fours in her 73-ball knock before getting out of the last ball of the innings.

ఇకపై ఆ క్రికెటర్‌ బయటకు-RED CARD IN CRICKET - అంతర్జాతీయ క్రికెట్‌లో ఐసీసీ కొత్త నిబంధనలు - RED CARD FOR CRICKETERS -ICC NEW RULES-ICC 2017-ICC DRS RULE-DRS-PLAYERS TO BE SENT OFF FOR VIOLENCE-ICC CHIEF EXECUTIONS COMMITTEE-ICC TODAYS BOARD MEETING-ICC LATEST UPDATES

Other tweaks in the rules empowers the on-field umpires to send a player off in case of serious incidents of player misconduct, including violence.

The Chief Executives’ Committee approved all recommendations made by the Cricket Committee this past week in London. These recommendations included the use of DRS in T20Is, Umpire's call on DRS and poor sportsmanship.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) in their meeting headed by David Richardson, ICC's Chief Executive Committee, on Saturday, approved a few changes in the rule to the sport of cricket recommended by Cricket Committee, led by former Indian coach Anilkumble The recommendations were reviewed, discussed during the meeting in London after the end of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. One of the change states that the team will not lose a Decission Revew System if the leg before wicket (LBW) decision returns as 'umpires call.' The decision also includes the usage of DRS in all T20 Internationals.

However, in Test cricket, the current rule of allowing an addition of DRS review after 80 overs has been scrapped. The minimum standards for review system will include the use of accredited ball tracking and edge detection technology.

Other tweaks in the rules empowers the on-field umpires to send a player off in case of serious incidents of player misconduct, including violence. While other on-field offences will be dealt under ICC Code of Conduct.

Other changes include the restriction on bat dimensions -- thickness of edges and depth of bat.

Another change is that a batsman will be adjudged not out even if his or her bat bounces back up after being grounded behind the crease. The current rule declares the batsman out if the bat is not grounded when the bails are dislodged.

The decision on DRS includes the usage of the reviews in T20 International matches. Meanwhile, for Tests, the current rule allowing the top-up of reviews after 80 overs in Tests has been removed. The minimum standards for DRS use would include the mandatory use of accredited ball tracking and edge detection technology.

In other big changes to the sport, players can be sent off by umpires in case of extremely serious incidents of player misconduct, such as violence on the field. All other offences would continue to be dealt with under the ICC Code of Conduct.

Two other major changes to the laws of the game which have been recommended and accepted are on the restriction on bat dimensions (thickness of edges and depth of bat) – something that has long been argued upon due to the growing disparity between batsmen and bowlers. Further, a batsman will be considered as having made his or her ground when a bat bounces after being grounded behind the crease by a running or diving batsman. The current rule counted the batsman out if the bat is in the air when the stumps are disturbed.

The new playing conditions will come into effect from October 1.

automation out 11,000 employees in infosys 



on Saturday said the company's board has no differences with the promoters and the so-called problems were media creation. The company held its 36th annual general meeting in Bangalore on Saturday. 

Here are the key takeways: 

Compensation to key personnel: In its AGM, a company spokesperson said that the IT major was aware of the fact that the compensation gap between the top management and employees has widened. The spokesperson .. said that the IT major was aware of the fact that the compensation gap between the top management and employees has widened. The spokesperson recognized that the company's communication on compensation could have been better. To address that, it has restructured compensation to stock-based rewards, it said. Here's a look a remuneration of key personnals at Infosys: 

Rising protectionism: In a letter to shareholders, CEO Vishal Sikka said that FY17 brought with it environmental challenges such as rising protectionism, accelerating commoditization, elevated client expectations and new competition. 

"Internally, we had challenges to bring stability to our consulting business and growth to our Finacle and BPO businesses. But amidst all of this, it behoves us to stay focused on our longer-term mission to drive rapid growth in software-led offerings, to capture demand in newer service lines and to renew our core services — a mission to deliver consistent, profitable growth for the benefit of all our stakeholders," Sikka said.

Infosys eyeing to return RS 13,000 crore to Shareholders Infosys chairman R. Seshasayee says the firm is in the process of finalising a suitable ‘distribution mechanism’ for its Rs13,000-crore capital allocation plan to shareholders.

Bengaluru: India’s second largest IT company Infosys Ltd on Saturday said it is in the process of finalising a suitable “distribution mechanism” for its Rs13,000-crore capital allocation plan to shareholders for this fiscal.

Speaking at the 36th annual general meeting (AGM) of the company, chairman R. Seshasayee said Infosys is committed to execute the capital allocation policy announced on 13 April “in a timely manner”. “As the company has a large shareholder base and is listed in multiple countries, the manner of distribution to shareholders requires compliance under laws of several jurisdictions,” he said.

Infosys, he added, is in the process of finalising a “distribution mechanism” that complies with the applicable regulatory requirements in the “best interest” of all shareholders. Over the past few months, the Bengaluru-based tech giant has received criticism from various quarters over issues like alleged governance lapses and high compensation doled out to top executives. It was also under pressure to return surplus cash to shareholders through buyback or liberal dividends.

In a bid to bring about “further transparency”, Infosys has now put up a document on its website detailing out the policy on executive compensation, the key performance indicators for variable pay and other related matters, Seshasayee said.

The founders, including N.R. Narayana Murthy, have been vocal about the high compensation paid to chief executive officer (CEO) Vishal Sikka and chief operating officer (COO) U.B. Pravin Rao and have also questioned the severance package paid to former chief financial officer (CFO) Rajiv Bansal and general counsel David Kennedy. Founders seemed to have given the company’s AGM a miss.

Seshasayee further said the board believes it is their duty to “listen” every shareholder and introspect further to improve performance or take corrective actions. “When comments are made by founders, we consider them even more seriously and respectfully, as we all recognise that we are but trustees of an extraordinary institution that has been the result of labour, foresight and genius of an extraordinary group of founders,” he said. Seshasayee, who retires next year, admitted that the company’s communication related to leadership compensation “could have been better”.

“In the aftermath of criticism, the board introspected and recognised that our communication in this matter could have been better,” he said. He blamed the media for misinterpreting the management’s relationship with the founders. “I should note that the board’s relationship with the founders is often the subject of certain inaccurate media reports,” he said

The recent reports suggested that the board had added a risk factor in its recent SEC filing just to send a veiled message to the founders. “This is not true as this risk factor was inserted as per applicable law,” he clarified. He also highlighted the transformation that Infosys was undergoing especially amid an uncertain external environment. These included transformation into a software-plus company, one pertaining to global leadership talent, and the “rather abrupt transition” from being a promoter-led board and management to an independent and professionally managed company.

“None of this is easy,” he said. Seshasayee said rapidly spreading protectionism and escalating demand from clients for more value for their technology investment together had made the business environment “extremely challenging”. “We have instituted a committee of directors to closely monitor execution and enhance alignment between the board and the management in strategic responses to changing market situations,” he said.

Vishal Sikka, chief executive of infosys spoke about the “How, What and Why” of adopting greater automation and AI at the 36th annual general meeting and disclosed  the company's attempt to create a pool of thousands of engineers with capability to work on projects in artificial intiligence and tap business opportunities.

“Autonomous driving is something every automobile company will get into, and we are trying to build talent around this,” Sikka said, highlighting the infosys self driving golf cart at its Mysuru campus was built using open source technologies. “Advances in AI are automating more and more cognitive work that people perform.”
 
He added that infosys is part of Toyota Motors’ connected cars project, and would look to skill more of its people in emerging areas, such as drones, robots and clouds

డీఎస్పీ నే కొట్టిచంపిన జనం-DSP Ayub death in Kashmir-was kashmir cops lunching a pre-planned murder?? DSP Beaten To Death By Mob of over 200 outside Srinagar Mosque-Jamia Masjid-Barbaric event shows kashmiris have a abandoned cultural religious ethos-DSP Ayub Pandith lynched in Srinagar-amaravati999.blogspot.in

New Delhi: Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Friday said the lynching of a senior police officer marked a "new low" in Jammu and Kashmir and it was "heartbreaking" to see the state "being pushed back several decades" due to the failure of the BJP-PDP government.

"The brutal lynching of deputy SP Md Ayub Pandit marks a new low. Pained beyond words at the horrific incident," said Gandhi on his official Twitter account.

"Heartbreaking to see Jammu and Kashmir being pushed back several decades because of the complete failure of the PDP-BJP government," he added.

A mob lynched the senior police officer in Srinagar, triggering outrage and forcing chief minister Mehmooba Mufti to dub the crime a "murder of trust".

The battered body of deputy superintendent Mohammad Ayub Pandit was recovered on Friday morning outside the Jamia Masjid in Nowhatta area of the Old City, the very spot where he was set upon by a killer mob the night before.

The brutal lynching of DySP Md Ayub Pandith

 marks a new low. Pained beyond words at 

the horrific incident.

The lynching of Jammu and Kashmir's Deputy Superintendent of Police Mohammad Ayub Pandit by a mob at Jamia Masjid in Nowhatta area of Srinagar has sent shockwaves across the country. Several questions have also been raised in the incident which has been condemned from all quarters.

There may be holes in the story that the officer was killed by devotees who got angry at him for allegedly taking pictures inside the mosque. Army sources have said since he was a local and a police officer, DSP Ayub was the target of extremist forces and the lynching was pre-planned.

A BLOW-BY-BLOW ACCOUNT OF THE DSP'S LYNCHING:

8 pm - DSP Mohammad Ayub Pandit got an order from Jammu and Kashmir Police Headquarters asking him to be on duty at Jamia Masjid in Nowhatta area of Srinagar.

9 pm - The cop reached the mosque for his duty from home which was 3 km away. He was posted at the gate on "access duty" in plain clothes but was armed.

10 pm - Ayub went inside the mosque to offer prayers during which some people spotted the weapon on him and left some devotees angry. However there is another contradictory report which says the policeman was doing surveillance activities inside the mosque.

10:30 pm - The DSP came out of the prayer area of the mosque when he was confronted by other people. One version of the story says that he was found clicking pictures of the mosque with his phone which angered the devotees. Heated arguments ensued and people charged at him. He was identified as a police officer all along since he was a local.

Army sources however say since he was a local and a police officer, DSP Ayub was the target and the lynching was pre-planned.

10:45 pm - His bodyguards fled and in panic he fired. The horrific act of lynching starts.

Contradiction: The guards have told the investigators that they were relieved by the DSP who asked them that it was an important day and they should be with their families. June 23 is the last Friday of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan.

This theory is being investigated as guards are not supposed to leave the officer on their own.

11-11:15 pm - Deputy Superintendent Mohammad Ayub Pandit was stripped naked and stoned to death by the mob.

Midnight - Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who delivers sermons at the historic mosque in old Srinagar city's Nowhatta area every Friday after prayers, arrived at the spot.

After midnight - The battered body was handed over to the police which could not identify him.

6 am - Family calls up police that the DSP had not reached back home. Search starts and police zeroes on the dead body. Family identifies it as the DSP's body.

దక్షిణాఫ్రికాలో సరికొత్త టీ పొడి తయారీ - ‘సత్యాగ్రహ హౌస్‌ టీ’గా నామకరణం-Satyagraha House Tea-Johannesburg-Mahatma Gandhi-Latest Tea Powder-amaravati999.blogspot.in

                    

 

Johannesburg: A new tea blend inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s minimalistic approach to diet intake was launched at the Satyagraha House in South Africa.

The blend was named ‘Satyagraha House Tea’, an organic caffeine-free blend of all-natural ingredients.

Satyagraha House, a unique museum and guest house adapted from a house where Gandhi lived during his tenure in the city at the turn of the 19th century, joined luxury African brand Yswara to create its own bespoke wellness blend.

“Our products are a symbol of the ingenuity and traditions of the African people and our brand and the company ethos resonates strongly with Gandhi’s message of Satyagraha – the force that is generated through adherence to truth,” said Yswara’s founder and CEO Swaady Martin yesterday.

The Satyagraha House bespoke blend, a chai Malawian verbena tisane, combines the very best of African teas harvested from various locations around Africa and blended within South Africa.

Cinnamon pieces, black tea, lemon verbena, cloves, ginger, cardamom, honeybush, rooibos and rosebuds were used to create the herbal tea which is rich in antioxidants and good for releasing blocked nasal airways.

“Gandhi had strong views on food and drinks and adopted a minimalistic approach to diet intake. To respect Gandhi’s views, we imagined a brew he would enjoy and created a wellness herbal tea blending warm spices with fragrant verbena from Malawi,” said Edna Oberholzer, general manager of the Satyagraha House and Museum.

Following the initial launch here, there will be an international launch in Paris on June 23, said Fabrice Dabouineau, CEO of Satyagraha House and director of the agency Voyageurs du Monde Africa, which set up Satyagraha House in 2007.

The venue is very popular with tourists from India and other countries abroad who can relive the history of Gandhi’s time in South Africa with a wide range of artefacts and stay in rooms designed with the basic facilities as used by Gandhi.

MOTHER BUSY ON FACEBOOK WHILE BABY DROWNED .
SHE LEAVED HER BABY IN BAATH TUB AND HE STARTED MESSAGING ON FACEBOOK,AND SHE CONTINUES THE SAME FOR 18 MINUTES 
An eight-month-old baby drowned in a bathtub while her mother was busy texting on Facebook, US media reports said.

Cheyenne Summer Stuckey, 21, told investigators that she put her daughter Zayla Hernandez in the tub in their home in Texas and left her unsupervised with the water running "for only a couple minutes".

She said she became "distracted" by another child, Facebook Messenger and a television playing loudly. The investigators found that Stuckey was messaging two people on Facebook for at least 18 minutes while the infant was left unattended on June 13, CBS news reported.

Stuckey told investigators that she rushed to check on the child when she realised she had forgotten about her, but found her floating in the tub face-down and unresponsive. Stuckey said she tried to resuscitate the girl but "did not know how."

She told investigators she was not sure if she had placed a bathtub stopper in the drain.
Emergency responders were not able to resuscitate the girl, and she was pronounced dead at a hospital, the report said.

A Tarrant County Medical Examiner's preliminary autopsy report revealed Zayla died from drowning.

Stuckey was booked in to the Parker County Jail and charged with injury to a child.

According to a spokeswoman, Stuckey's other kids had been in foster care and were just returned to her about a month before Zayla died. Detectives say the kids were removed due to neglect.
