“The Mansfield players start kicking and they punch me in the face and the referee says nothing to them. I am punished and I am very disappointed. |
“The FA can do anything they want, but their guy punches me first. |
“The FA don’t do nothing to him. For this, I am disappointed that I am fined and given three matches. |
Stags’ Jacob Mellis was handed a three-match suspension and £1,500 fine for a separate incident involving Owls captain Tom Lees. |
The FA have also been investigating a claim that Forestieri racially abused a Mansfield opponent, something he and the Owls vehemently refute. The game’s governing body haven’t isssued any charge so far. |
New Delhi, Aug 29 (IANS) The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) Wednesday inducted a new Inshore Patrol Vessel (IPV) at Visakhapatnam that will aid the maritime force to secure the eastern coastline from terror treats, smuggling, gun-running, poaching and other such crimes. |
Indian Navy's Eastern Naval Command chief Vice Admiral Anil Chopra, who has earlier served as the ICG director general, inducted ICGS Rajkiran into service in the presence of East Coast Guard Region Commander Inspector General S.P. Sharma. |
The vessel, the third in a series of eight IPVs, is designed and built by the Kolkata-based defence public sector undertaking Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers. |
The 50-metre indigenous IPV displaces 300 tonnes and can achieve a maximum speed of 34 knots, with an endurance of 1,500 nautical miles at an economical speed of 16 knots. |
Equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry and advanced communication and navigational systems, it is ideal for close-coast missions such as surveillance, interdiction, search and rescue, and medical evacuation, according to a defence ministry release here. |
Special features of the ship include an Integrated Bridge Management System (IBMS), Integrated Machinery Control System (IMCS) and an integrated gun mount with indigenous Fire Control system (FCS). |
ICGS Rajkiran, literally meaning 'Royal Light', will be based at Haldia in West Bengal and will be under the administrative and operational control of the Northeast Coast Guard Region commander. |
In his address during the commissioning ceremony, Vice Admiral Anil Chopra assured that the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard are working in tandem to achieve the overall objective of maritime and coastal security of the country. |
He also stated that there are numerous stakeholders involved in coastal security and building synergy amongst all of them is extremely important to achieve the common goal of national security. |
ICGS Rajkiran will be commanded by Lieutenant Commander Sumanta Roy, a specialist in anti-submarine warfare. It will have a crew of five officers and 30 enlisted personnel. |
Raj Rajaratnam, who was accused of the biggest insider-trading scheme in a generation, is challenging the FBI's use of wiretapping. |
McKinsey is as blue chip as it gets, and 62-year-old Rajat Gupta is by far the biggest fish reeled in since the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan started cracking down on insider trading two years ago. A total of 55 people have been charged so far; 51 have been convicted or pleaded guilty. |
WHAT INFO WAS SUPPOSEDLY LEAKED? |
When Mr. Gupta served on the board of Goldman Sachs, he allegedly gave Mr. Rajaratnam a heads-up that Warren Buffett would invest $5 billion in Goldman—this during the darkest days of the 2008 financial crisis. Indeed, he allegedly called Mr. Rajaratnam a mere 16 seconds after a board meeting ended. He also was also al... |
While Mr. Rajaratnam was sentenced to 11 years after being convicted at trial, the average prison term for the many people snagged in this ring is three years, according to Bloomberg News. Defendants who agreed to plead guilty have received shorter sentences. The feds, however, may drive a harder bargain with Mr. Gupta... |

Estonian ride-hailing startup Taxify hopes to have issues with local regulator Transport for London (TfL) resolved and restore service in the British capital by the beginning of next week at the latest. |
On Sept. 8, just three days after launching its service in London, Taxify had to halt its operations there after TfL launched an investigation into the company. |
It was determined that Taxify was not registered in London as a private hire vehicle operator, due to which it did not have the right to accept ride bookings. |
Taxify CEO Markus Villig told ERR that preparations are underway for continuing operations in the British capital — TfL demanded additional security requirement compliance from the company, and Taxify hopes to have everything in order by the end of the week. |
"Our plan is to launch sometime this or next week," he added. |
The Estonian ride-hailing service has previously cited TfL's lack of interest in dialogue or offering tips to ensure their application is approved. According to Villig, the authority's attitude has not improved, but the company has reached an alternative legal solution. |
"The first time they were not satisfied with the licensed business we have, but this time we found a different kind of legal solution with which we believe they will be more satisfied," Villig explained. "We're currently waiting for final approval from them so we can relaunch." |
While the delay has meant additional expenses for the expansion to London, according to the CEO, the increase has been marginal in the context of the company's launch budget. |
"Ultimately, what is most important for us is that [London] was our most successful launch ever for drivers and clients alike, so if we incur some additional legal fees, that isn't the main concern," said Villig. "Businesses are generally more concerned about where to find clients and drivers. In our case, thankfully, ... |
According to Villig, Taxify's planned expansion to Paris will not be affected the obstacles the company has encountered in London, as transport regulations in Paris are significantly simpler and the launch of new platforms more competition-friendly. |
"Everything is going smoothly in Paris," the CEO confirmed. "Rather, we hope to receive final confirmation from London this week — then everything will be shipshape in both cities." |
He noted that preparations are underway in Paris, and that there are teams on location in both cities who are working on training drivers. |
When exactly Taxify can be expected to launch in Paris, however, Villig was unable to say, noting that the goal was to line up hundreds of drivers first, as Paris is such a large city to cover. |
During its first three days of operation earlier this month, 3,000 drivers joined and 30,000 clients downloaded the Taxify app before the company halted operations after local regulator Transport for London had claimed that the new market entrant had failed to obtain a proper operating license. |
Taxify operates in 19 countries around the world. In early August, the company announced that Chinese ride-hailing app Didi Chuxing had purchased a 13-percent holding in Taxify and would support the growth of the Estonian-developed platform in Africa and Europe. |
The Cboe Volatility index VIX, +0.84% spiked Thursday afternoon, reaching the highest level in more than eights months as the main U.S. benchmarks convulsed lower.

Samsung is expected to unveil its larger Galaxy Note 7 smartphone on August 2, but what can we expect? Here's the skinny on Samsung's upcoming large smartphone, which will rock a 5.7-inch QHD display, an 8-core processor and 4GB of RAM. |
The 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display has a native resolution of 2560x1440, and will arrive with two processors - depending on the market you buy it in. In the US, there'll be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, while in European markets the Galaxy Note 7 will be powered by Samsung's own 8-core Exynos 8890 processor. |
Samsung really killed it with the rear-facing camera on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge smartphones, with the Galaxy Note 7 said to feature a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera, but it's the front-facing camera that has our eyes widen with excitement. There will reportedly be two front-facing cameras on the Galaxy Note 7... |
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will feature a microSD slot for expandable storage, a 3500mAh battery and it'll be 7.8mm thick. Network connectivity will include Cat. 9 LTE, and the latest Bluetooth technology. The pricing isn't set in stone yet, but we should expect somewhere near the $949 price. Samsung should unveil it on... |
Great Britain bobsleigh pair Paula Walker and Gillian Cooke were unhurt after crashing on the second run of their World Cup race in Altenberg. |
Walker and Cooke were on course for their first World Cup podium place of the season, having finished the first run in third place. |
But their sled overturned on the penultimate bend and they crossed the line upside-down before walking away. |
"Totally gutted for Paula and Gill," said GB coach Gary Anderson. |
"We all want this so bad, we will pick the positives out of this later." |
Britain's Lizzy Yarnold narrowly missed out on her third World Cup podium of the season when she finished fourth in the women's skeleton World Cup, also in Altenberg. |
Yarnold improved from fifth place after her first run to finish 0.06 seconds behind third-placed Noelle Pikus-Pace of the US. |
World Cup leader Marion Thees of Germany won the event with another US slider, Katie Uhlaender, in second. |
Shelley Rudman, who won the World Cup race in Winterburg last month, finished in 17th place after suffering a bout of flu, while Donna Creighton was seventh. |
Yarnold remains second in the overall standings behind Thees while Rudman is in sixth place. |
Mota Singh was born on April 5, 1889, in the village of Churchak in Punjab. He was part of the earliest influx of immigrants from Punjab through Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay. The passenger log of the S.S. Asia, a Japanese ship that carried many groups of men from Punjab, lists him as "Moti" Singh, arriving on ... |
He and two village mates worked in labor crews in central California, and in 1920 he began farming in the Brawley area in partnership with his village mate Harnam Singh. |
Earlier this month, I received a reminder from the Automobile Association of Singapore (AAS) to renew my membership. |
I decided not to do so, as it seemed compulsory for me under the "Declaration and Authorisation" section to give consent to the AAS, its subsidiaries and partners to send promotional and advertising materials to my address, e-mail and mobile phone number. |
It was stated that I could opt out of such communications, but I was unable to find the option to do so within the AAS website. Presumably, I would have to contact each organisation individually to request it not to send me spam materials. |
According to the Personal Data Protection Commission's guidelines, organisations should provide individuals with an "opt in" or "opt out" option and not deny them the service if they refuse to give consent to the marketing. |
But individuals are often powerless to defend themselves if corporations make opting in to marketing a prerequisite for services. |
The Idaho nurse that was involved in the case of missing Colorado mom Kelsey Berreth has been formally charged and will appear in court on Friday. |
Krystal Jean Kenney, 32, was charged with one count of tampering with physical evidence. The Twin Falls, Idaho, nurse will have her court appearance in Teller County, Colorado, where Berreth went missing last year. |
The charges against Kenny come weeks after she was investigated by police for involvement in Berreth’s disappearance. Kenny is accused of tampering with Berreth’s cell phone, which unexplainedly pinged off a cell tower in Gooding, Idaho, three days after she went missing. |
Kenny is suspected of having an affair with Patrick Frazee, the fiancé of Berreth and the father of the couple’s daughter. |
Berreth went missing on Thanksgiving Day and was last seen with her daughter at a Woodland Park, Colorado, Safeway supermarket. Frazee was thought to be the last person to see her alive. Her mother reported her missing on Dec. 2. |
After an investigation, Frazee was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of solicitation to commit first-degree murder on Dec. 31. |
Berreth is thought to be dead by authorities, but her body or remains have yet to be found. |
The past few weeks have been an exciting time for us for many reasons, but one of the most exciting of our recent accomplishments is leading us into a new chapter in collaboration and friendship with the network of EWB chapters from Massachusetts and Rhode Island. On February 16, EWB-BU had the honor of hosting what we... |
The roundtable included three hours of discussions and networking between students, covering a variety of different topics: membership growth and retention, finding and opening a new program, fundraising and outreach, the technical aspects of water supply projects, and creating NGO partnership. Chapters had varying lev... |
Overall, the meetup was a huge success. Most of the chapters expressed interest in having similar meetings once or twice a semester, and many volunteered to host the next one, so we are hopeful that this is a tradition that will continue for many years. We encourage those that are interested to attend the next one, and... |
When it comes to rights, long-term effects of Trump presidency will be a ‘tragedy’ for U.S. |
Amnesty International's new Secretary General figures the rest of the world will eventually recover. |
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK — Kumi Naidoo spent his Sunday working on the speech he will deliver before the Nelson Mandela Peace Summit at the United Nations General Assembly Monday morning — his first in his role as Amnesty International’s secretary general. |
For a life-long activist of his stripe — who fought apartheid in his native South Africa since the age of 15 and climbed Russian Arctic oil platform as the executive director of Greenpeace — facing a roomful of suites (diplomats and heads of state) might seem like a sedate mission. |
In other words, Naidoo intends to make people feel very uncomfortable, touching on a number of issues: Climate change, the hell being lived by Rohingya people chased out of Myanmar at gunpoint, the treatment of Palestinians, and more. |
ThinkProgress: Much of of our news cycle is dominated by the words of one man… You’ve been in this game for a while…you’ve seen a lot of different types of leaders… What’s your perspective? |
Naidoo: Firstly, I think the long term negative effect of Donald Trump will be a tragedy for the American people more than for the people of the world because…the most long-standing negative effect of Donald Trump will be the composition of the Supreme Court. |
TP: Amnesty International has a local mandate, but…often times international human rights organizations put a lot pressure on the U.S. because it has a lot of power in the U.N. and in other realms, such as trade…. With the U.S. pulling out of the U.N. Human Rights Council and with National Security Adviser John Bolton ... |
Naidoo: In some ways the U.S. has always been inconsistent with how it plays on the international level — President Obama acknowledged that during his presidency, President Clinton acknowledged that after he left the presidency… So, for us, it’s not as if we’re in an entirely new position, but the way we will operate i... |
TP: Is it possible for civil society groups, activists, and workaday people to really hold the U.N. accountable for its inaction or glacial movement? |
Naidoo: This is an analytical issue: When the U.N. fails, whose failure is it?…I’ve worked with three secretary generals at the U.N… They would tell you, “What can we do when we have a system of governance at the U.N. which gives veto power to five countries?” …So in terms of holding the U.N. accountable, civil society... |
TP: What are three things you would like to see happen at this year’s UNGA and three things you know are going to happen but wish they wouldn’t? |
Three things that will happen, but I wish wouldn’t: Overall, there will be a lot of nice words not backed up by any plans about many issues… The second thing that won’t happen is a serious conversation about the reform of the U.N. Security Council… The third is that lip service will get paid to the role of civil societ... |
ThinkProgress: You’re concerned with the danger and obscenity of people becoming more comfortable with increasing levels of injustice and violence. Why is this happening? |
Naidoo: Quite often we make the mistake of thinking that governments control us, through what you might call the repressive state apparatus… But actually, the more insidious and the more powerful form of control is in the deployment of the ideological state apparatus. We’re talking about the framework for education and... |
In a new ranking of the world’s best and worst places to be a mother the United States rates 31st. And its precious aid dollars to poor countries are up for grabs. |
Mothers with their babies and toddlers in line for a medical check at a refugee camp in Uganda. |
With Mother's Day coming this weekend, the international aid group Save the Children today issued its 12th annual State of the World's Mothers report. |
Norway ranks No. 1 as having the best overall conditions for mothers; Australia and Iceland rank No. 2 and 3. At the bottom, Afghanistan ranks No. 164 and last, though, as might be expected, sub-Saharan African countries holds down eight of the bottom 10 spots. |
The United States? It comes in at a mediocre No. 31. |
The rankings are based on factors such as mortality rates for mothers and their children, women's life expectancy, and women's levels of education. The US maternal mortality rate of 1 in 2,100 is among the highest of any developed nation. |
Though conditions for mothers and children worldwide, including access to basic health care, clean water, and nutrition, have improved in recent years, some 22,000 children still perish each day, largely from preventable or treatable causes, the report says. |
Meanwhile, the US spends only about 1/200th of its federal budget on programs to help alleviate poverty and on other humanitarian programs worldwide, it adds. |
