India clinch BangODI series
18 06 2014
Medium-pacer
Stuart Binny bagged six wickets as India registered an unexpected
47-runs win against Bangladesh via Duckworth-Lewis method in the
rain-curtailed second One-day International at the Shere Bangla National
Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the
three-match series.
Sent into bat, Indian batsmen produced a below-par performance to be
bowled out for a paltry 105 runs in rain-truncated 41 overs-a-side
game.But the pace combination of Binny (6-4) and Mohit Sharma (4-22)
saved India from humiliation as they bundled out Bangladesh for a record
58 runs in 17.4 overs to help the visitors defend their lowest score
against the hosts.
The Binny heroics came after Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed scalped five wickets for 28 runs on his debut to bowl India out for 105 in 25.3 overs.
But if India’s 105 was much less than their previous low of 191 in Port of Spain during the 2007 World Cup then Bangladesh also sank to a new low as their previous lowest against the Men in Blue was 76 in 2003 at Dhaka.
Binny, whose figures are best by any Indian bowler in ODI’s bettering Anil Kumble’s 6-12 against West Indies in 1993, was ably supported by medium pacer Mohit from the other end.
Mohit, who was the proud owner of the ‘Purple Cap’ in the recently concluded IPL for Chennai Super Kings, started the rot for Bangladesh after sending openers Tamim Iqbal for 4 and Anamul Haque for nought.
Binny soon joined forces to send innings top-scorer Mithun Ali back in the pavilion for 26 and skipper Mushfiqur Rahim for 11.
The rest of the batting fell like a pack of cards as Binny and Mohit had little time to celebrate between wickets.
Earlier put into bat, the stunning Indian collapse was triggered by Taskin, who returned with figures of 5-28, making it the best debut bowling performance by a Bangladesh player. Brief Scores:
India: 105 all out in 25.3 overs (Suresh Raina 27; Taskin Ahmed 5/28).
Bangladesh: 58 all out in 17.4 overs (Mithun Ali 26; Stuart Binny 6/4, Mohit Sharma 4/22).
Teams:
India: Suresh Raina (captain), Ajinkya Rahane, Robin Uthappa, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ambati Rayudu, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Akshar Patel, Parveez Rasool, Mohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Amit Mishra, Manoj Tiwary, Kedar Jadhav, Stuart Binny, R Vinay Kumar.
Bangladesh: Mushfiqur Rahim (captain), Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque Bijoy, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib al Hasan, Mahmudullah Riyadh, Nasir Hossain, Ziaur Rahaman, Mashrafe Mortaza, Abdur Razzak, Al-Amin Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Sohag Gazi, Shamsur Rahaman.

Is Jaitley call to States to crack down on hoarders a hoax?
18 06 2014
Updated 12th June 10:06 AM
With new government at Centro is it acting
as their predecessor their diction same as old. Thus the promises of
Good days ahead is being banged as hoax by various e channels and Qs
their intentions.
Is fiscal lawlessness, nation wide policy
on public distribution food for all is state subject or federal subject.
Making black money vide hoarding of essential food item,articles thus
is national subject
must be dealt severely.
Government with such qualified majority is
competent to act fast and not linger for two years and allow the devils
to go for killing thus allow damaging nation economy.
The spiraling inflation can only be fixed
if the traders with nexus of bigwigs think for the welfare of nation.
Even containment of prices can be achieved with continuity chain order
of public distribution.
Further the “Efficiency Mantras’ of
injecting the efficiency at all levels with dose of transparency
dissolved with technology to which Modi went Gaga appears to be only to
impress the intellect of this country but no plan in reality but give
loose chord to traders and businessmen thus to dilute his building
global image.
Let PM remember arise,awake till goal is
reached was also his sermon on his 480 nation wide electoral
appearances further his promise to last person gets his due needs to be
revisited. .
IB national agency to look after national
interest report to which e channels has purposeful leak to build
government good intention bring
IB at threshold of blaming one side on
pretext of fiscal borrowing which is matter of Finance ministry and
Environment ministry which need to wok collectively in faster mood on
their big infra to take care of the environment and people welfare.
These immediate plan can’t be put on back burners. Moot question here
arise did government full filed its preliminary duties of allotting land
to landless on Q of big projects did they got their dues, did police
and war widows get their dues from the government.
What is the IB doing for corrupt offices
to enliven the system which is in deep slumber embedded with corruption
and this was raised by our popular leader Modi too. Nation health can
not be retrieved to its best order as we play blame game but contrary
punish the guilty allow honest and merit to rule,to curb nepotism to be
at its naught.
There is common perception that two brands of political outfit BJP
and Congress compromise where there is ample opportunity to earn and
buries the national issue like black money, fiscal embezzlement thus
sharing nation wide scheme of people welfare to its gain this perception
made non-entity like Arvind came to forefront without any vision and
with his arrogant self certify honest party convener.
The steps were disclosed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley after a
high-level meeting in which Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh, Food
Minister Ramvilas Paswan, Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and top
officials including Nripendra Misra, Principal Secretary to Prime
Minister Narendra Modi, were present.Maintaining that only four or five
commodities have witnessed a spike in prices, the Finance Minister said
states have been asked to crack down on hoarders who are trying to
exploit apprehensions of a weak monsoon.
Official media reports
-{
With prices of essential food items
shooting up, the Centre on Tuesday unveiled measures to tame inflation
by asking state governments to crack down on hoarders and delist items
such as onions and potato on which a minimum export price was slapped to
discourage exports
He said the states have been asked to delist certain items, which are usually procured through Agriculture Produce Marketing Committees, so that they come into the open market.
About 50 lakh tonnes of rice will be released in the open market through state governments to cool prices.
While a USD 300 per tonne minimum export price on onion has already been imposed, a similar levy on potatoes will be decided by the Commerce Ministry to discourage exports and boost their domestic availability and control prices, he said.
With regard to pulses and edible oil, states will be given a line of credit to directly import them to meet local demand, Jaitley said.
Jaitley said Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung has been asked to procure onions and potatoes from the open market and flood the market through Mother Dairy retail outlets.
He has also been asked to delist all food items in the capital, a move that will enable farmers to sell their produce directly to the market.
The government, he said, was closely monitoring prices of 22 commodities and will take steps to curb volatility.
Rising prices of essential food items such as vegetables, fruits and cereals pushed up inflation to a five-month high of 6.01 per cent in May.
The likelihood of a sub-normal monsoon and the fallout of violence in Iraq on commodity and oil markets may further worsen the price situation.
Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan said the central bank will be focused on controlling inflation over the next few months.

Sunni militants capture Iraqi city near Syria
18 06 2014 |
Sunni
militants captured a strategic northern Iraqi city along the highway to
Syria on Monday, sending thousands of residents from an ethnic minority
fleeing for safety and moving closer to their goal of linking areas
under their control on both sides of the border.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said that American drone strikes are
an option in a bid to halt the dramatic sweep by insurgents over a
swath of Iraq.He also said the Obama administration is willing to talk
with Iran and does not rule out potential military cooperation between
the two rivals to stop the rampage.
Already, the commander of Iran’s elite Quds Force, Gen Ghasem Soleimani, is in Iraq, consulting with officials on how to roll back the al-Qaida-breakaway group leading the insurgent charge, known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, Iraqi security officials said.
They said the US government was notified in advance of Soleimani’s visit. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media, also said that US aircraft have in recent days flown reconnaissance missions over Iraq to gather intelligence on the militants’ positions.
Soleimani has been inspecting Iraqi defenses and reviewing plans with top commanders and Iranian-backed Iraqi Shiite militias, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the visit.
He set up an operations room to coordinate militias. He also visited the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala south of Baghdad, home to the most revered Shiite shrines, and areas west of Baghdad where government forces have faced off with Islamic militants for months.
The Islamic State has threatened to march to Baghdad, Karbala and Najaf. Soleimani is one of the most powerful figures in Iran’s security establishment. His Quds Force is a secretive branch of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard involved in external operations.
In the mid-2000s’, it organised Shiite militias in a campaign of deadly violence against US troops in Iraq, according to American officials. More recently, it has been involved in helping Syria’s President Bashar Assad in his fight against Sunni rebels.

” It is heartening to see flurry of activity in the Ministries and
corridors of power after a period of prolonged lull. Plans are being
prepared, presentations are being made and time bound agenda are being
adopted. However, what is being discussed largely comprises of system’s
thinking There is a need to engage people from outside the system and
the beneficiaries and to ask them what they want as opposed to what was
being done for years. We can’t expect different results by doing the
same thing over and over again. “
When expectations are strong enough, they become self-fulfilling. The
argument that as prime minister Modi would face so many structural
barriers that he would not be able to accelerate the economy much in the
short run, has become much weaker. Within ten days of the election
results, expectations of better days have zoomed so much that they could
become self-fulfilling. What economists call “animal spirits” have
soared in expectation of quick decisions, better governance, and
business-friendly policies.
The MSMEs should get some attention from the new Government at the
Centre as indicated by the issues listed by the Finance Ministry
received from different sectors of the industry during the pre-Budget
consultations done by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley here yesterday. A
host of suggestions and demands were received and discussed during the
consultations, according to an official release. These included revision
of reservation list of items reserved exclusively for manufacture in
MSME Sector, discourage import of items produced by low cost machineries
through effective taxation policy, monitoring of items relating to MSME
Sector, imported from neighbouring countries under SAFTA and stringent
action to discourage the same.
Admitting that some of the Free Trade Agreements allowing unrestricted
imports, have resulted in duty inversion, the Commerce Ministry has
started conducting “outreach programmes” to inform stakeholders about
the benefits of such pacts. According to a media report quoting an
official, the commerce department has conducted outreach programmes on
FTAs across the country. There has been growing concern amongst the
Indian MSMEs about the increasing imports of finished goods under free
trade agreement.
The economic growth rate will improve to 6.2 per cent in current fiscal
and can go up to 8 per cent in the next three years on back of
favourable domestic and global environment, tax consultancy firm EY
said. “A combination of structural correction, confidence in new
government and favourable global conditions could propel economic growth
to beyond 8 per cent in three years,” it said The economic growth rate
remained below 5 per cent for the second year in a row recording 4.7 per
cent in 2013-14. In order to boost growth, the tax consultancy firm
urged Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to hike income tax exemption limit
to Rs 4 lakh and extending additional tax benefits to small investors in
the forthcoming budget in July.
In tune with BJP’s election manifesto, the Union labour ministry made
its first move to reform labour laws for a “conducive environment for
investors” through flexible mechanisms like hiring and firing. On its
website, the ministry invited comments or suggestions on proposed
amendments to the Factories Act, 1948. Amendments to the Factories Act
are pending since 2008. Earlier, the cabinet of Rajasthan’s BJP
government cleared crucial amendments to Industrial Disputes Act,
Contract Labour Act and the Factories Act. The move elicited stiff
opposition from central trade unions.
The RBI kept financial markets happy by keeping key policy rates
unchanged in its monetary policy on Tuesday. Deposit and lending rates,
hence, will not see any significant change for now. But that’s not to
say that the RBI did nothing at all. By reducing the statutory liquidity
requirement and funds provided under the export credit refinance (ECR)
facility, the RBI has gone a step further to align interest rates across
different segments to market-determined rates. The objective — as
stated in the Urjit Patel Committee report — is to facilitate the
transmission of policy rates across segments. For borrowers this means
quicker pass through of policy action on banks’ lending rates over the
long term.
A high-powered team of scientific experts from the European Commission
will visit India in September to check measures put in place by the
country in order to help lift the EU ban on the import of Indian
mangoes. This was confirmed to Indian-origin Labour MP Keith Vaz, who
visited Brussels on Wednesday and met Dacian Ciolos, EU Commissioner for
Agriculture, and other senior officials. Vaz has been spearheading the
British Parliament campaign to get the ban overturned. He invited the
Commissioners for Agriculture and Trade to visit India to discuss these
issues face to face with the Indian government.
The new five-year foreign trade policy will offer greater incentives
for services exports while refocusing schemes for merchandise exports to
make them more effective, according to top commerce department
officials. The commerce ministry is expected to announce the foreign
trade policy 2014-19 after the budget, which is likely in July.
Officials said the department of commerce is expected to expand the
scope of the ‘Serve for India Scheme’ (SFIS) in the new policy by making
duty credit scrips tradable.
The drafting of a new mining policy, which is mandatory to resume iron
ore extraction and exports from Goa, should be expedited so that the key
industry gets back on its feet, according to stakeholders. Chief
Minister Manohar Parrikar had earlier said that the policy would be
drafted by June-end but the stakeholders feel that the government should
fast-track the process so that the mining industry, which has been
reeling under a Supreme Court ban for the last two years, can resume
operations.
To coincide with the visit of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi,
representatives of 15 Chinese companies from Wenzhou of Zhejiang
province visited Gujarat to scout for opportunities to invest around USD
one billion in various projects. “Chinese companies have a target to
invest of USD 1 billion in the state of Gujarat this year,” said interim
Secretary General of CITIC (China India Trade and Investment Centre),
Jagat Shah.
The West Bengal Small Industries Development Corporation (WBSIDC) today
said it intends to create an international standard marketing hub for
micro and small enterprises in the handloom sector. Named as ‘Biswa
Khudra Bazar’ (BKB), the hub will come up at historic Santiniketan and
the focus will be on community-led handicraft and handloom presentation.
Santiniketan is a small town near Bolpur in the Birbhum district of
West Bengal. The main aim of the project is to create an international
marketing hub for Micro & Small Enterprises (called Biswa Khudra
Bazar in Bengali).
Handling of coal at the Cochin Port will be modernised in
Public-Private-Partnership mode at an estimated cost of Rs 198 crore,
raising hopes that coal imports for the power plants located on the
coasts will be made easier. The maritime gateway to peninsular India,
Cochin is the fastest growing logistic centre emerging in to a major
international transhipment terminal. An all-weather natural port, and
located strategically close to the busiest international sea routes
Cochin is promoting a major liquid terminal, bulk terminal and maritime
industries in its port based SEZs .
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj held talks with her Omani
counterpart Yusuf Bin Alawi Bin Abdullah here today and discussed ways
to further consolidate the strong bilateral relations and enhance
project exports from India. Signalling a desire for continued engagement
at high levels between the two countries, the Omani leader’s visit is
the first by any foreign dignitary to India after the Narendra Modi-led
dispensation came to power.
India has overtaken Germany and Italy to emerge as the world’s second
largest textile exporter. But it lags China, whose exports are nearly
seven times higher. Data released by the Apparel Export Promotion
Council, the industry body for garment exporters, showed that India’s
textiles exports were estimated at $40 billion in 2013, compared with
China’s $274 billion. Textiles includes everything from fibre and yarn
to fabric, made-ups and readymade garments made of cotton, silk, wool
and synthetic yarn.
Trade officials of India and the US are expected to meet here soon to
prepare the groundwork for the ministerial level meeting of Trade Policy
Forum (TPF). “Dy. USTR expected to travel to India to prepare
groundwork for upcoming Ministerial Trade Policy Forum meeting,”
Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman tweeted. Deputy Unites
States Trade Representative (USTR) Wendy Cutler will meet Commerce
Secretary Rajeev Kher.
According to the FISME Factor,
with new government in place, 89 per cent of the Micro, Small and
Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) expect a higher economic growth in the next
two quarters.
With organisations become melting pots, human resource officers are
finding it tougher to find innovative ways to get employees to be more
in tune with the unique needs of diverse groups. 1. Communicate your
diversity goals Make diversity a core pillar of your people strategy,
and call out the areas of focus. “Mindtree’s diversity focus is based on
the EDGES charter, anchored on four aspects of ethnicity or
nationality, people with disabilities, gender, and sexual orientation,”
says Ravi Shankar, chief people officer.
The micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are the backbone of
economic development in any country and more so in India as we have a
huge population to be served. They are the incubators for talent,
innovation and entrepreneurial spirit, which is key to a country’s
development.
Are you going to buy that new toothpaste, or have you forgotten what
it’s called already? Crowded categories confuse shoppers. Here’s what
brands can do to distinguish their latest product. Colgate has just
announced the launch of one of its most innovative products ever.
In a bid to save the small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) especially
the traditional manufacturers engaged in making earthen pot, candle and
other festival items, the Noida-based industry experts have asked for
redressal of the import laws, so that such units can be saved from
China-made items. Industry insiders said that liberalisation in import
laws have already damaged such traditional units who used to earn their
bread and butter for the year during the festive seasons.
The government, with the help of the capital market regulator, is
planning to set up a first of its kind co-investment fund to fund small
and medium enterprises (SMEs), considered the backbone of the Indian
economy. According to sources, the fund will have an initial corpus of
Rs 5,000 crore and anchored by two state-owned financial institutions —
insurance behemoth Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) and Small Industries
Development Bank of India (Sidbi), an institution set up to provide
funding for SMEs.

BELGIUM BEAT ALGERIA 2-1 IN A STUNNING COMEBACK
In a Group H match in Belo Horizonte, Belgium made a stunning rally to beat Algeria 2-1 with two second half goals.

Belgium, whose most of players ply trade in top European clubs, turned the match on its head with two goals in the space of 10 minutes.
Manchester United’s Marouane Fellaini equalised in the 70th minute through a glancing header before substitute Dries Mertens made a fierce finish with a low shot for the winning goal in the 80th minute.

header and a seriesof other extraordinary saves, holding up Brazil´s
march toward qualification from Group A.The 28-year-old, who has no club
as his contract with French club AC Ajaccio has ended, did a lap of
honour around the Fortaleza Castelao Stadium after one of the great
World Cup goalkeeping performances.
Basketball hero Kobe Bryant hailed “OCHOA!! Incredible” in a Tweet within minutes of the game ending.“The precious draw left Mexico level with Brazil on four points from two games.While Ochoa deservedly grabbed the headlines, Brazil finished the game relieved to have earned a point.

Russia, S Korea to World Cup 1-1 draw
Russia S Korea draw
CUIABA: Alexander Kerzhakov rescued Russia in their first World Cup finals match since 2002, scoring three minutes after coming on as substitute to salvage a 1-1 draw against South Korea on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old St Petersburg striker is the sole survivor from the squad that appeared at the 2002 World Cup finals — was brought on after rival´s substitute Lee Keun-Ho put South Korea ahead with a 30 metre shot that Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev disastrously parried over his head into the net.
The result left both countries trailing Belgium who head the Group H table after beating Algeria 2-1 earlier.Russia, who host the 2018 finals, were looking to make an impact in their landmark return.
They owed their saved honour to Kerzhakov who scored his 26th international goal. On Akinfeev´s error Russian coach Fabio Capello said: “Just like some players can miss penalties it can happen that a keeper makes a mistake as well.
“You can accept a mistake from a great keeper like Akinfeev. Today it turned out fine.”The reaction of the players was really good,” the Italian added when asked about the Korean goal.
“That was important to me.”Korean coach Hong Myung-Bo commented: “It´s the first match and I´m satisfied.
“The last two countries to make their appearance in Brazil 2014 slowly cranked up the tempo in 77 percent humidity under the Arena Pantanal´s floodlights.
The Koreans began brightly enough, with Bayer Leverkusen´s Son Heung-Min testing Akinfeev early, his right-footed shot going high.
Seconds later the midfielder was booked unfairly by Argentine referee Nestor Pitana.
Playing all in white to Russia´s maroon and watched by a near-full stadium where the prominent colour was Brazilian yellow, the Taeguk Warriors showed technical ability without ever threatening to score.
The largely local crowd began to vent their frustration at what they perceived to be the lack of spectacle served up for their evening entertainment.
A half-hearted Mexican wave — never a good sign especially in the first half hour of a match — crept its way round the stands, as Sergei Ignashevich struck a 30 metre freekick straight into Korean keeper Jung Sung-Yong´s hands.Korean captain Koo Ja-Cheol livened things up with a low left-footed effort.
Then Son, who found the net 11 times for Leverkusen last season, had a real chance in front of goal but his shot sailed exuberantly over Akinfeev´s crossbar.
The Koreans had the upper hand as the tepid first half drew to a close, their midfield putting together some neat moves, with Han Kook-Young and Sunderland´s Ki Sung-Yeung proving a handful.
The teams emerged for the second period with this World Cup´s third goalless draw within 24 hours only 45 minutes away.
If Russia were to give coach Capello something to celebrate on his 68th birthday at midnight, they´d have to up their game.
And they came out fighting with two quick chances from Victor Fayzulin and skipper Vasily Berezutski.
Down at the other end, Akinfeev did well to deny Koo´s potent drive.In a bid to shake things up Korean coach Hong Myung-Bo, captain of the side that finished fourth at the 2002 World Cup, introduced prolific striker Lee for Park, and it proved a useful switch.
On 68 minutes, Lee broke the deadlock in style, charging towards the Russian box, rounding a defender to shoot right-footed. Akinfeev looked devastated after at first seeming to halt the ball but then watching in horror as it went over his head.
Russia pulled back level when Kerzhakov, after coming on for Yury Zhirkov, pounced on the ball after a goalmouth scramble to shoot home from close range.
