The Punjab government’s decision to allow transport of foodgrains and other produce from market yards on tractor-trolleys has not gone down well with the truck operators in the State. Dismissing the allegation of cartelisation against them, the truck operators say the decision will badly affect their business and will not serve the long-term interest of farmers or transporters. “Our business is already reeling under the new policy framed by the government. The government has put a cap of 120% on basic rates for transporting wheat this year, which is unreasonable. They [government] assured us recently that our demands will be considered sympathetically next year. But now, this latest move will only add to our losses in the ongoing procurement season,” Happy Sandhu, president of Punjab’s truck union, said. Mr. Sandhu denied that truck operators were working as a cartel to exploit farmers. Following Chief Minister Amarinder Singh’s approval for the use of tractor-trolleys, the Transport Department is all set to notify the guidelines and procedure for grant of permit-licence to them.Preventive step“The decision has been taken to prevent any attempt by transporters to engage in cartelisation in the ongoing Rabi season,” an official spokesperson said. The department has decided to authorise Regional Transport authorities in the sub-divisions where their offices are located and SDO (Civil)-cum-SDM in the rest of the sub-divisions to grant permit to tractor-trolleys for the limited purpose of carriage of foodgrains, from any Mandi yard-purchase centre to a delivery point not farther than 25 km. Of this, a maximum of 12 km can be on a State or national highway, which shall be mentioned on the permit.

Saurashtra will take on defending champions Vidarbha in the Ranji Trophy final from February 3 at Nagpur and their skipper Jaydev Unadkat believes there’s no one is better than Cheteshwar Pujara to guide the players.Pujara, who had an outstanding Test series with the bat in Australia, carried his form into the Ranji Trophy knockout for Saurashtra on his return. He played two match-winning, unbeaten knocks in the quarter-final and semi-final against Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka respectively, to guide Saurashtra into the summit clash.”I have been saying this since the Lucknow game [quarter-final against Uttar Pradesh], we cannot have [someone] with a better influence than him [Pujara] in the team. He has been the pillar for India now, like he has been for Saurashtra for a long period of time,” Unadkat told PTI on Wednesday when asked what Pujara brings to the team.The 27-year-old Porbandar-born Unadkat feels that Saurashtra are fortunate to have the services of Pujara for the knock-out stages of the national championship.”And we can’t have anyone better than him [Pujara] to guide our players. We have chased down a couple of targets and it was all down to the way he batted himself and he carried others alongside him.”We are fortunate to have him in the team, at the moment, in the knock-out stage and looking forward for one more performance,” said the left-arm speedster.The Saurashtra captain also feels that his team is in good mental space.”But having said that it is not just [about] him, all the guys are playing their best game. During knock-outs, away from home, you need everyone to step up and it can’t be one or two guys, so that’s what we have been doing in the last two games.advertisement”The victories have been special. After the Lucknow game, I had said – it is one of the best victories that Saurashtra has ever had. And the semi-final [against Karnataka] was nothing short of that, the way we played our cricket. It was one such intense game that I was part of,” the pacer said.”I would say, we are really in great space of mind as a team and we are all binding, playing together and supporting each other. There can’t be a better mental space for the team to be in than what we are at the moment. The momentum is on our side,” he added.Unadkat hopes that his team could carry their form into the final.”It’s the final of the Ranji Trophy, so the match is going to be good and both the teams are good on paper. Let’s hope for a great game and I hope we keep on playing the way we have been playing through this season,” Unadkat concluded.Also Watch:

Getty Premier League Manchester United Manchester United v Everton Everton There was no way through for the Toffees at Old Trafford, as David de Gea also celebrated his 100th blank in United colours Manchester United’s defence was rock-solid again to frustrate Everton as the Red Devils recorded a Premier League milestone. Although Wayne Rooney in particular had chances to score against his former club, David de Gea’s goal remained intact on Sunday. And in keeping the Toffees out at Old Trafford, United became the first club in the Premier League to reach 250 home clean sheets.

In third place sit Arsenal, with 216, while Manchester City lie well back on just 143. The ‘Great Dane’ Peter Schmeichel has been responsible for more of those shutouts than any other United keeper, having kept 68 clean sheets at Old Trafford during his legendary spell. De Gea, meanwhile, reached the century in clean sheets against Everton in all competitions, and has thus far kept his net intact in 79 Premier League games.Will the Spaniard go on to overtake the Great Dane?

Share on LinkedIn Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Rugby union Read more Share on Pinterest The precarious balance in Test rugby between keeping a cool head and being up for the fight is one which Scotland have not always been able to find come Calcutta Cup time, according to Gordon Reid.The London Irish loosehead prop believes that being emotionally overwrought was one reason his team lost so heavily at Twickenham last year, and that, when they welcome England to Murrayfield on Saturday, they will need to find a better equilibrium between passion and rationality than they did in that 61-21 defeat.“It showed the importance of keeping a lid on things the last time we were down there,” said Reid, who is expected to hold on to the No 1 jersey when Gregor Townsend announces his team at lunchtime today. “Last year we let our emotions get to us a little bit too much and that resulted in them beating us by a hefty amount. Topics Share via Email news “So it’s a huge thing for us to keep level-minded and keep our heads strong going into the game. It’s a massive game, especially for Scotland, and we’re playing a side that, with Eddie Jones as coach and all the players they’ve got to call on, I think is the best team in the world just now.“The game against New Zealand [in November] was also a massive game, but we just need to step up to these games and not play the occasion. I just feel that we need to forget about how big a game it is and just go in there with clear heads.”Away from the pitch at least, Reid is invariably able to remain clearheaded and lighthearted, as was shown by his answer to a question about the tests he had to undergo this season after a couple of concussions. “They identified that I had a brain, so that was quite good. I tried to get a dodgy doctor so he could just sign me off, but there was none of them kicking about so I had to go and see a specialist, who identified that I was totally crazy and that I had to have a couple of months off.” Share on WhatsApp Sign up to the Breakdown for the latest rugby union news Since you’re here… Support The Guardian Six Nations 2018 … we have a small favour to ask.

Sri Lanka has over the years been at the centre of the human rights debate, often being accused of violating human rights.However now the country is set to be a base for human rights monitoring with one of the world’s leading human rights groups establishing its regional office in Colombo. The Sunday Leader reported that Amnesty International’s South Asia team will look to operate out of a regional office in Colombo. Amnesty International is a London-based non-governmental organisation focused on human rights. (Colombo Gazette) Earlier this year Amnesty International appointed Biraj Patnaik as the new Regional Director for South Asia.The appointment was seen as deepening Amnesty International’s commitment to the world’s most populous region, moving closer to the ground where human rights abuses are taking place in order to challenge them more effectively. It is also learnt that the Regional Director of Amnesty International is recruiting new staff to be part of the South Asia team.
by The Associated Press Posted Nov 3, 2014 3:35 pm MDT NEW YORK, N.Y. – Nik Wallenda’s high-wire act in Chicago boosted Discovery Channel’s audience on Sunday.But the Nielsen ratings company says viewer interest in his lofty feats fell far short of his “Skywire” stunt over the Grand Canyon last year.Wallenda’s Chicago walks aired live Sunday across the U.S.His first walk between skyscrapers was from 8:35 to 8:42 p.m. Eastern and attracted 5.8 million viewers. His blindfolded walk from 9:01 to 9:03 p.m. Eastern delivered 6.7 million viewers. Those events and the 13-minute break in between were seen by an average of 5.8 million viewers.By contrast, 13 million people watched his Grand Canyon walk in June 2013. An average of nearly 10.7 million watched the 23-minute walk and stayed through the end of the telecast.

Sprint is introducing an “all-in” pricing plan, meaning a single, $80-a-month price that includes both a smartphone and a service plan for voice, text and unlimited data. (AP Photo/Lisa Poole, File) Fans of Lifetime’s melodramatic movies can now see them for $4 a month — without subscribing to cable.Lifetime’s online video service is the latest move by an entertainment company to bypass the traditional cable bundle, which easily tops $70 a month. For example, HBO has made its shows and movies available online for $15 a month to people who don’t pay for cable, while Showtime has an $11-a-month service debuting this month. CBS and Nickelodeon also have Internet offerings that don’t require a cable subscription.Subscribers to Lifetime’s service won’t get the regular cable channel, which has ads and is available on many cable and satellite lineups. Rather, the Lifetime Movie Club service will let viewers watch a rotating pool of movies, about 30 at a time, from Lifetime’s library of more than 300 films. They will be shown without commercials. The channel’s reality shows and scripted TV series won’t be available.Lifetime has long been known for its movies about stalkers, affairs gone bad and thrillers based on juicy headlines. It has been trying to appeal to younger audiences with such movies as “Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B.” It also has reality shows like “Little Women: LA” and the dance show “Bring It.”“Lifetime movies definitely have a long history but they’ve changed over the years. Some of our biggest events on Lifetime are the movies,” said Dan Suratt, executive vice-president for digital at A+E Networks, which owns Lifetime as well as the History channel and A+E.While other online video services such as Dish Network’s Sling TV are aimed at people who don’t subscribe to cable, Suratt said he expects the movie app to be “entirely complementary” to Lifetime’s TV channel.Like many channels, Lifetime’s primetime viewership has declined this year, according to Nielsen.The new Lifetime Movie Club service will work on iPhones and iPads, with other devices coming this fall.— Tali Arbel, AP Technology Writer___Sprint is introducing an “all-in” pricing plan, meaning a single, $80-a-month price that includes both a smartphone and a service plan for voice, text and unlimited data.The new plan, though billed as simpler, won’t have many benefits for consumers. Prices for a Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 won’t change, as it had been $20 for the phone and $60 for the service plan. An iPhone 6 plan will cost $10 a month more as Sprint gets rid of a promotion. These three phones are the only ones eligible, as they are among the most popular.With the new pricing, Sprint is going back to how all wireless plans used to be sold. Until recently, phone companies routinely offered subsidies on phones in exchange for two-year contracts and made up for that in higher monthly fees. In the name of transparency, T-Mobile lowered the monthly service fees two years ago and started charging for the phone separately. AT&T, Verizon and Sprint followed on some of its plans.Now, Sprint is returning to the old ways in combining the two charges.There’s one big difference: Sprint is leasing the phone. Customers have to turn it in when upgrading or pay extra to keep it. With subsidies, customers own the phones outright and have no obligations beyond the two-year contract. That means a customer can resell the phone when upgrading or cancelling service.In a statement, T-Mobile described the move as a “pushback against a trend that wireless users have overwhelmingly supported.” T-Mobile says separating the charges gives consumers more information to make better choices.Sprint will still sell phones outright, though at higher monthly prices. Those options aren’t as prominent on Sprint’s website.Sprint’s $80-a-month price doesn’t include taxes and surcharges, including a one-time $36 activation fee.— Anick Jesdanun, AP Technology Writer In Tech: Lifetime makes movies available online, Sprint’s new price plans brings back the old
“WHO [The World Health Organization] remains committed to supporting the ongoing response provided by the Ministry of Health and other health partners,” said Ala Alwan, WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, in a news release Wednesday. “However, additional funds are needed to provide the full scale of health services to the 2.7 million people affected by the Mosul operation.” To fully support the health needs resulting from the Mosul operation, WHO requires a total of $65 million of which $14 million, or 21 per cent, has been received. Many hospitals in Mosul have suffered extensive damage and are no longer able to provide health services. Trauma casualty rates remain high near frontline areas, with many trauma cases requiring referral from Mosul to Erbil in northern Iraq. Three field hospitals, with a capacity of 40–50 beds, will soon be established to support access to trauma care to the west and south of Mosul. These hospitals will fill a critical gap, as trauma patients are currently transported to referral hospitals in Erbil, a one- to two-hour drive away. From 17 October 2016 to 18 January 2017, 1610 wounded civilians were sent to Erbil’s two main hospitals.
Sophomore H-back Dontre Wilson (2) catches a touchdown pass during a game against Cincinnati on Sept. 27 at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 50-28.Credit: Chelsea Spears / Multimedia editorAfter a slow start to the season, the Ohio State offense is starting to get up to speed.As the Buckeyes head into Big Ten play Saturday, they are trying to build on a record-setting performance from their game against Cincinnati in which they accumulated 710 yards of total offense and totaled 45 first downs.The offensive output did not come as a surprise to redshirt-sophomore offensive lineman Pat Elflein, who said even after the Virginia Tech game in which OSU allowed seven sacks, the offensive line has always believed in its abilities.“We never really lacked confidence. That’s the standard of how the offensive line at Ohio State plays and we played to that standard on Saturday and we are going to keep playing to that standard,” Elflein said. “The standard was set last year, and that’s how we have to play.”Last season, the Buckeyes ranked fifth in the country running the football as they averaged 308.6 yards per game on the ground. OSU currently ranks 23rd in rush yards per game with 241.5 yards per game.Contributing to the bulk of OSU’s yards on the ground against Cincinnati was sophomore running back Ezekiel Elliott, who made his presence felt against the Bearcats as he rushed for a career-high 182 yards on 28 carries.Co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Ed Warinner said Monday he expects Elliott to continue his play against the Maryland defense on Saturday.“He’s playing with very low pad level and so he plays with great energy. He’s explosive. And he finishes runs with great pad level,” Warinner said. “And he doesn’t want to make direct contact. Ezekiel is playing great right now. We just have to keep him going.”Despite only accumulating an average of 195.3 rushing yards per game in its first three games, the Buckeye offense amassed 380 yards rushing against the Bearcats to go along with 330 yards passing.Coach Urban Meyer said he would like to see more steadiness on offense.“What I think is going on best is the balance right now. When you start looking up at the scoreboard and you see 250 or 300 (yards) each that’s a good sign,” Meyer said Wednesday. “The last two years have been kind of run-dominated and to win those big games you can’t be 220 run and 68 pass. You’re going to lose that game.”The passing efficiency of redshirt-freshman J.T. Barrett is something that has greatly contributed to the offensive surge for OSU. Barrett became the first Buckeye quarterback since Troy Smith in 2005 to account for back-to-back 300 yard passing games.Senior tight end Jeff Heuerman said that he never has any doubt that Barrett will perform.“That’s just how he is. He is a great leader,” Heuerman said Wednesday. “He is super poised, and it doesn’t surprise me how he handles his business.”Barrett, who has been nicknamed by some in the program as “the distributor,” has done just that, as seven offensive players have caught five or more passes on the season.One of those players is sophomore H-back Dontre Wilson, who led OSU in receptions with six against Cincinnati and has earned high praise from Meyer.“He is so little, and when you are in a balanced offense, you gotta be able to block and do all of the things,” Meyer said. “He was a little bit of a token player last year. But he has gained 15 pounds, he is stronger and is much more suitable. Also, he is the kind of guy that we wanted to run him a little bit.”Wilson has become a much more important part of OSU’s offense as he has totaled 11 receptions and nine carries for a total of 238 yards and a touchdown in the first four games of the season. His 11 catches are good for second on the team behind only redshirt-sophomore wide receiver Michael Thomas (13).His pass catching is something that Meyer said Wilson has been working on since the offseason.“He has got pretty good hands,” Meyer said. “He is a little bit of a body catcher, but he has really worked hard on it. I like where he is heading.”Despite all of its playmakers, Meyer said his Buckeye offense will need to continue to be efficient to compete against Maryland’s defense.“Athletically they are really good. They do enough change up where there (are) two different looks you have to prepare for in the secondary,” he said. “They are the most athletic defense we have faced so far this year.”The Buckeyes are set to take on Maryland on Saturday at Byrd Stadium in College Park, Md. Kickoff is scheduled for noon.
The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time has one of the most highly praised soundtracks in all of gaming. This is even more impressive considering how the music for it was created using the Nintendo 64’s limited audio technology. The greatness of the game’s music surpassed hardware limitations, but now, we’ll finally get to hear this classic soundtrack as it was always meant to be experienced.Our friends over at iam8bit have partnered with Materia Collective to bring us The Hero of Time. Materia Collective will be handling the digital distribution of the soundtrack while iam8bit is in charge of releasing the vinyl edition. This recording will be pressed into a 180-gram heavyweight colored vinyl with a die cut Ocarina window, gold foil triforce stamping, and gatefold vista artwork.Aside from coming in a spiffy looking vinyl record, what makes this soundtrack special is that it will be recorded by the 64-piece Slovak National Symphony Orchestra. This, of course, will allow the soundtrack of Ocarina of Time to come alive in a way rarely heard before. There have been artists (such as Video Games Live) that have played select pieces from this soundtrack live with an orchestra, but this is the first time the entire thing can be heard this way.This record will be recorded live in January in Bratislava, Slovakia. After that, it will be mastered and prepared for vinyl to hit a release date sometime in the second quarter of 2017. The record will cost $40, but no price has been given for the digital edition at this time. You can pre-order now from iam8bit’s website. You can check out some samples of this soundtrack over on Materia Collective’s SoundCloud page.
Stay on target Over the summer, Bandai Namco held a closed beta for the upcoming Dragon Ball FighterZ. The brief beta gave players a good taste of the game’s over-the-top antics. I thought it was fantastic. We were promised an open beta in January, and sure enough, we’re getting it. Today, Bandai Namco announced an open beta for January 14. On top of that, it also released a brand-new trailer featuring three combatants from the Dragon Ball Super anime series.As reported by Gamespot, the open beta will be available for players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Though the beta is open to all, it is presumably for those who are subscribed to either Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus. The beta is set to begin at 12am PST / 3AM EST / 9 AM CET. It will end on January 16 at those same times. Those who pre-order the game either physically or digitally can participate in the open beta a full 24 hours early on January 13 at the aforementioned times.In addition to the open beta news, Bandai Namco has also released a new trailer spotlighting three new fighters. These include Goku Black, Hit, and Beerus. If you’re not familiar with those names, that’s because they are all characters from Dragon Ball Super. Up until now, the roster for Dragon Ball FighterZ mainly consisted of classic characters from Dragon Ball Z. Dragon Ball Super characters were inevitable, but it is somewhat surprising it took this long for any to be announced. Their inclusion shows the game isn’t only for fans who’ve been with the franchise for decades.Dragon Ball FighterZ is due to release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on January 26. The game’s season pass will add six new characters post-launch. Pre-ordering any edition of the game will unlock Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta early.

Barcelona’s former technical secretary, Robert Fernandez, spoke in detail about Ousmane Dembele being tardy and his performance.The talk of the day for FC Barcelona was Ousmane Dembele without question, even Robert Fernandez had something to say about the French ‘Bad Boy’ who is tardy and has put the club upside down with his antics.But right after he makes a mistake that is related to poor discipline, he soon comes back and makes amends with a very important goal or assists that keeps helping Barcelona get points.With his goal against Tottenham this Tuesday, Ousmane Dembele has now produced 9 goals in his last 9 matches for Barcelona between scoring and assisting his teammates.This level of performance is already putting him on a similar level to Neymar at the club, the only problem is his distracted mind. On a psychological level, the real issue here is that Ousmane Dembele seems to suffer from ADHD and one of his only ways to control it is to play video games.The main obstacle that gets in the way of him developing the incredible talent he has, is that the French lad doesn’t seem to have his sleeping hours under control because he looks like he simply can’t go to sleep.4 GOLES ⚽⚽⚽⚽5 ASISTENCIAS 🅰🅰🅰🅰🅰¡@Dembouz ha participado en 9 goles en sus últimos 9 partidos con el @FCBarcelona_es en todas las competiciones! 🔥#UCL pic.twitter.com/rkkZSw3Q1p— LaLiga (@LaLiga) December 11, 2018The club knew about this problem when they first signed him from Borussia Dortmund, but they knew that his level of talent was worth all the trouble and the results are showing that FC Barcelona was right about him.The only problem right now does seem to be that many of the players could not appreciate the special treatment that Dembele is getting, but most of them will end up falling in line if he is the one who gets them all the trophies by the end of the season.Because the type of goal that he scored against Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday, is within reach of very few football players in the world.Just by looking at the effort of recovering the ball the way Dembele did, and then going after two defenders to deliver that insane finish as he dribbled on both of them is both insane and beautiful to watch.This goal is already being labeled as one of the best from this last group stage fixture in the Champions League, Ousmane Dembele really is everything that people were getting him hyped for and maybe even more.Kylian Mbappé’s assessment of deeming Ousmane Dembele the most talented young player in the world might just be true.

But this is not such a bad thing from a certain perspective,” said Fernandez during the interview.“I have seen cases of players who fell asleep in the past. What I wonder is how is it that this news is coming out so quickly? I’m not saying there is a campaign against the club, but I do think that we need to protect this player.”“Although it may be true that he has made mistakes in a number of situations, it is also true that we need to defend him and try to carry him in a way that can benefit him better. This lad is one of the club’s greatest assets.”“We have to defend him in a way that we have also defended other players in the past, both at FC Barcelona and other clubs in the world. There have always been players who fall asleep.”“We are talking about a very young player here, one who makes mistakes. All we need to do is keep him in a short leash with these kinds of details.”“We already knew about his problem with falling asleep, but we decided to bring him due to his incredible quality as a player.”“This is a problem that can be fixed. If he was 27 when we signed him, we obviously wouldn’t have brought him.

A state audit has found that Clark County improperly charged some of its departments for insurance coverage during 2011-12, and by doing so, shifted general government costs onto accounts designated for maintaining roads and processing building permits.Fixing the problem could cost the county’s already strapped general fund more than $700,000 annually, if the costs are reapportioned according to the auditor’s calculations.The county has responded that while it believes it can improve the documentation of such charges, it’s not sure it wrongly charged its departments.The disagreement, and its ramifications, will likely be discussed as the county moves forward with its yearly and quarterly budget discussions.The audit report was released Monday by the state auditor’s office. It concludes the county incorrectly charged about $1.8 million to the county road fund and the county’s building and permit fund.Also in the report, the state auditor’s office recommends the county take a look at how it bases charges for insurance, document its methodology and repay the funds that it says overcharged.
Parcel delivery organisation Hermes has agreed a collective bargaining agreement with the trade union GMB for its 15,000 self-employed couriers, giving them the option to earn holiday pay and have a guaranteed rate of pay.The agreement, which has been designed to support the rights of self-employed individuals providing courier services to Hermes, enables workers to choose a new ‘self-employed plus’ status.This allows them to receive benefits such as holiday pay, prorated up to 28 days, and an individually negotiated rate of pay; couriers will be able to earn at least £8.55 an hour over the year. These couriers will also be represented by GMB.Martijn de Lange, chief executive officer, UK at Hermes, said: “This new option allows couriers to retain the flexibility of self-employment we know is so important to them and gives them the certainty of guaranteed levels of earning, the security of holiday pay and a strong voice.“We’re proud to be leading the way with this pioneering development, which we hope will encourage other [organisations] to reflect on the employment models they use.“We have listened to our couriers and are wholeheartedly committed to offering innovative ways of working to meet peoples’ differing needs.”The ‘self-employed plus’ status will operate on an opt-in basis, and couriers who wish to remain in their current form of self-employment can do so.Tim Roache, general secretary at GMB, added: “Hermes is leading the way; looking after the people who work for [the organisation] on the ground, day in, day out, is not only good for business, but the right thing to do.“As a result of our groundbreaking agreement, couriers will have a real voice in their workplace as well as the right to holiday pay and guaranteed pay, something GMB has long been campaigning for on behalf of our members.“Full credit to Hermes. [It is] showing that the gig economy doesn’t have to be an exploitative economy and we look forward to working with [the organisation] through this groundbreaking agreement. Other employers should take notice; this is how it’s done.”
Akshardham Temple.TwitterThe Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad on Friday arrested what it claimed to be a key conspirator in the 2002 Akshardham Temple attack from Anantnag in Jammu and Kashmir.Minister of State for Home Pradeepsinh Jadeja said that Mohammad Yasin Butt, who is believed to be an operative of terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, had escaped to Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) after the temple attack.He was arrested following an intelligence alert that he had returned to Kashmir and was working at a timber warehouse in Anantnag.As many as 33 persons, including a National Security Guard (NSG) commando, were killed when two terrorists started indiscriminate firing inside the sprawling Akshardham Temple Complex located just a stone’s throw from the official residence of the Chief Minister in Gandhinagar on September 24, 2002.The assailants were gunned down by the commandos of the National Security Guard.ATS officials said Butt played a vital role in the conspiracy to attack the temple complex and supplied arms and ammunition, including AK 47 rifles, to the assailants who had travelled to Ahmedabad by a train from Uttar Pradesh.The ATS team brought Butt to Ahmedabad on Friday evening after obtaining a transit remand from a court in Jammu and Kashmir.In May 2014, the Supreme Court had acquitted six persons convicted earlier in the case and three of them were facing a death sentence.
Holbox, Q.R. — The current Holbox administration says that its predecessor granted hundreds of building permits without any order or building plan, something that led to the infrastructure collapse in August of last year.While permits for construction work and the submission of Environmental Impact Manifestations for projects in Holbox continue, Emilio Jiménez Ancona, municipal president of Lázaro Cárdenas, says that due to the construction permits granted during the last administration, in two years the number of rooms in the so-called Isla Chica rose from 800 to 1,700.He says that his predecessor granted nearly 300 building permits without any development plan or order.“What we want is to put order in the growth of Isla Chica which is currently disorganized, because there is no development plan for the area,” said the municipal head.“Of the projects authorized by the last administration, there are still many to be executed. Currently there are some 70 projects with others are under review … Profepa has closed down 33 of those projects,” said Emilio Jiménez Ancona.He said that so far during his administration, they have authorized about 10 construction permits, which add to the 300 granted by his predecessor.“There is an excessive growth in Isla Chica that led to the collapse in August of 2017 because there is no growth limit,” he explained.The island of Holbox is located within a Protected Natural Area and is divided into two zones. Isla Chica where the population center is, and Isla Grande, the area that does not have buildings.There is an increasing demand for consistency since the increase of rooms brings with it a cascade of needs in basic public services such as the collection of garbage, drinking water, drainage and electricity.Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)
WARSAW, Poland (AP) – A Polish woman has been arrested on suspicion of killing at least five of her newborn babies, a prosecutor said Friday.The suspect, identified only as 41-year-old Beata Z., has been questioned and will be held for at least three months during an investigation, said Maria Kudyba, a prosecutor in Lomza in northeastern Poland.Kudyba said the widowed woman gave birth to eight babies between 1998 and 2012, but only two remain alive.

Investigators are searching for a fifth body and trying to determine the fate of the sixth baby.Autopsies will be carried out to confirm that Beata Z. is their mother, and she will undergo psychiatric examination.Social workers alerted police this summer when they saw no baby born after Beata Z. appeared to have been pregnant.Investigators refused to speculate about possible motives in the case, which has been widely covered by the Polish media.Poland, which is predominantly Catholic, has a strict anti-abortion law that allows the termination of a pregnancy only if it threatens the life of the mother, the fetus is irreparably damaged, or the pregnancy resulted from a crime.(Copyright 2012 The Associated Press.
