In a bid to promote various aspects of sports such as management, technology and coaching, the Lok Sabha on Friday passed the National Sports University Bill, 2018 after a clause-by-clause voting during the day 12 proceedings of Parliament Monsoon Session.
Earlier on Wednesday, Union Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore introduced the bill, which seeks to establish a National Sports University in Manipur and run two courses for now. This is the 6th bill tabled to place an ordinance during the Monsoon Session.
Pitching the idea of National Sports University in Manipur, BJP MP and former BCCI president Anurag Thakur said, "we must not restrict to just one National Sports University in the country'". Thakur compared India's sports market with that of US and asked the sports ministry to bring up the level of the sportspersons to match international standards.
TMC member and former footballer Prasun Banerjee also bat for National Sports University all across India and asked, "Why not Bengal, why not Punjab, why not all over the country?"
"Why not make one in Kolkata? Why don't you host the World Cup here?" Banerjee questioned on the establishment of National Sports University in Manipur.
Accepting the idea of establishing Sports University branches abroad, Rajyavardhan Rathore said, "By 2019, the sports industry will be an $80 billion industry".
"This sports university will address various issues. This will be for training of elite athletes and will also be for research purposes. This university can have branches abroad too," Rathore said in Lok Sabha.
The BJP government has increased the stipend for sportspersons from a yearly amount of Rs 850 to a monthly stipend of Rs 1000, the sports minister informed.
Rathore also took the matter to Twitter and put up a few details about the National Sports University in Manipur. "Lok Sabha passes the National Sports University Bill 2018. This will establish a first-of-its-kind National Sports University in Manipur," an excited Rathore said.
"This is a major step towards bringing to reality PM @narendramodi ji's vision of developing a world class 360° sports ecosystem in India," he added.
"The National Sports University, Manipur is envisioned to offer courses in 13 departments through its 4 schools. There will be enhanced focus on sports coaching, physiology, nutrition, journalism and other verticals associated with sports," Rathore wrote in another tweet.
Apart from academic programmes and research, the university and its Outlying Campuses' will also impart training to elite athletes, sports officials, referees, and umpires and evolve as centres of excellence in the various discipline of sports.
In order to make the university a world-class institution, the government had signed an agreement with two Australian universities -- University of Canberra and Victoria University -- for development of curriculum, research facilities, and laboratories, among others.


There has been many disagreements as to whether or not this blend actually contains Perique tobacco. In our opinion, there is no reason for Orlik to omit the Perique. And besides, we can taste the Perique. Golden Sliced tobacco is a perfect flake cut tobacco and carries a delicious hay flavor. This tin is available in both 50 and 100 gram tins.
A decent all day smoke.
Tin note is very pleasant with hints of citrus & lush tobacco flake. Just right moisture, ready to smoke straight from the tin.
Mild to medium flavor & strength. Mild nic-hit.
Slightly sweet. grassy citrus that's balanced by a slight tang/sour note.
This is a very pleasant enjoyable flake.
Either an all-day smoke or a nice change of pace.
If you like a mild Virginia with a subtle sweetness and just a touch of spice from the Perique then you will like this. I love the slight topping, brings a hint of citrus but also comes off as apricot. Mellow, mild, smooth, burns cool and easy going. Flavor builds a but towards the end but stays balanced and enjoyable.
Orlik Golden Sliced flakes are about as safe as you'll find for new pipe smokers to try among non-aromatic tobaccos. The flakes are predominately Virginia with a tiny amount of Perique (still debated?). It is a mild-medium strength tobacco that can be enjoyed by fans of Virginias in general or as a mild VA/Per flake. The Perique is nearly undetectable. Unless you let the tin age for some time, you may not even notice the Perique at all. Don't get me wrong, these are delicious flakes from an early age and don't need to be aged to enjoy. What time can do is miraculous though. Virginia becomes sweeter and fruitier and as such will no longer give the Perique a place to hide. The Perique provides a slight peppery spice that I really love in the retro-hale. It's never too strong and is oftentimes regarded as never enough for fans of hearty VA/Pers. The flakes are smoke-able fresh, dried, or slightly moist...however you find yours. I prefer these flakes on the slightly dry side, mostly for the ease of lighting. As flakes, they burn a little slower, which makes for a nice half hour smoke per flake in my case. I usually fold and twist these into the bowl to load them which works great since they are so thinly sliced. I like to smoke OGS in a comfy billiard, but I've enjoyed it in many shapes and in both briar and cob. Some say this blend is bitey, and it can be if pushed too fast. Just relax and sip on it slowly and you should do fine. If you still find it harsh, just give it some time to age and sweeten up and you'll see it makes a big difference. That's about all I can say; Orlik Golden Sliced is almost universally praised, and readily available. If you have never tried it, then it's time you should. Enjoy.
Very wet bites and smells like a rabid coyote.
My first tobacco and a great introduction to smoking a pipe. Love its aroma before, during and after smoking.
Simply One of the Absolute Best!
This tobacco has been around forever, but is unbelievably good and cheap. There is no need to change the recipe when a tobacco is this exceptional. If you like the taste of pure Virginia tobacco in a beautiful flake cut then this leaf is for you. Smells like fresh cut hay with a hint of seeetness. Absolutely mild and tasty and is the absolute perfect, quintessential all day smoke. You cannot go wrong with this tobacco. I will always have some on hand and it is in my weekly rotation. Again, The best part about it is it is actually reasonably priced unlike other tobaccos and it is readily available. One word: PERFECT!
I love this smoke. Its smooth flavorful burns perfect right out of the tin. It has that Hey taste to it that reminds me of an open field where hard for is rewarded with a nice bowl full of Orlik Golden Slice. Sit back, light up and enjoy.
As a new pipe smoker I'm systematically getting tins of tobacco to see what sticks. This is certainly one that is going to be heavy in my rotation.

The use of geophysics for exploration appraisal began as a tool for reservoir definition, description of continuity, and estimation of thickness variations across the prospect. The primary application of seismic data was to define reservoir limits and compartments, and analysis techniques were limited to poststack data. That has been changing slowly but steadily in the past decade. For reservoir appraisal, seismic techniques have expanded to the prestack domain, contributing to the understanding of subtle reservoir variations, including lithology and fluid change. Electromagnetic methods are used to detect hydrocarbons directly at the reservoir scale.
The challenges facing the industry in the early 1990s required that fields be brought on stream more quickly and that recovery be maximized. The concepts of reservoir management focused on reducing development and operating costs in addition to maximizing reserves and optimizing recovery. Reservoir Geophysics arrived on the scene when geophysical technology, which historically had been limited to exploration, was becoming part of that reservoir-management equation — finding reserves that otherwise might not have been developed and lowering costs by minimizing dry holes and poor producers. In addition, the book was published at a time when the industry and the petroleum upstream technical disciplines were beginning to appreciate the value of integration.
Reservoir geophysics, an emerging application in 1992, is now mainstream. The SEG Development and Production Committee once had to solicit papers on reservoir geophysics for the SEG annual meeting, but at the 2007 annual meeting in San Antonio, more than 30% of the technical sessions focused on reservoir applications.
As a result, the objective of Methods and Applications in Reservoir Geophysics is not simply to demonstrate the value of geophysics in reservoir management but also to provide guidance on how to apply geophysical technologies in reservoir studies more effectively. Although we hope reservoir engineers will find this book useful, the audience is meant to be geophysicists. Thus, the case studies chosen for this volume focus on the processes, methods, and techniques used in reservoir geophysics, not just the results.

The Power of Social Media Influence
Like it or loathe it, social media is pretty much inescapable. It's used by your family, friends, and increasingly by institutions and corporate entities to connect and share ideas, market and promote. Statista puts worldwide social media usage at 2.22 billion people, so it's no surprise that it has been utilised, and continues to be, to the extent to which we are now accustomed.
It's been proved that it's possible to connect with all kinds of people using social platforms, so why should the resource fall solely into the hands of multi-million dollar companies like Coca-Cola and McDonalds, for whom advertising is merely a formality, as oppose to a make-or-break necessity?
Perhaps it needn't.
Due to the fairly self-regulating nature of some of healthcare's more specialised areas, the burden falls predominantly on us to showcase innovations and engage with patients, prospective students and fellow professionals. Networking tools like LinkedIn are already being used to connect professionals, even from physiology backgrounds. This platform is relatively self-serving, being a predominantly business to business niche, but according to current statistics it has seen a rise in use to over 60 million views per month in 2016, so is undeniably a great tool to use for quick networking with other like-minded individuals.
Of course, social media can be used to network with everyone, not just our own, so, in the same way that we utilise more than one test to make a diagnosis, we should be using the whole spectrum of tools in this instance, shouldn't we? Facebook (1.6 billion users worldwide) and Twitter (325 million) usage polls would suggest that users are logging on for a surprisingly narrow selection of reasons. 68% (Twitter) and 65% (Facebook) of users state that they log on to keep abreast of the latest news relevant to themselves, and 63% and 48% of Twitter and Facebook users respectively, use the platforms to receive information relevant to their personal interests. These present huge, potentially untapped resources for healthcare professionals, that can be used to promote transparency and trust, gain feedback and keep colleagues and patients informed.
I've mentioned before, the relatively unknown nature of physiology as a profession, so I think that taking hold of the opportunities available on Twitter, and other forms of social media could be something that could benefit physiological science. One of my favourite online healthcare personalities is Mr Olivier Branford, a plastic surgeon in London. He advocates education as a resource that should be available to all, and public engagement as a high priority. Olivier has over 62.1k followers and uses Twitter to provide news relevant to his specialism, and to wider healthcare in general. I conversed with him about the use of social media as a free platform to provide evidence, studies, inspiration and information to students, prospective students and patients everywhere, and we both agreed that it was the perfect resource to utilise. We aren't alone, however; Olivier ran a telling informal poll, the results of which I have displayed below, enquiring as to what other users believed was the best way for plastic surgeons to use social media, and I feel that the words "plastic surgeon" can be substituted for any within the health service with a similar outcome. As you can no doubt see; despite the unscientific nature of the evidence, the percentages speak for themselves.
Whilst it would be incorrect to state that healthcare organisations have no presence on social media, they don't dominate in the same way that more commercial entities do, at least not in the UK. That doesn't necessarily mean that it is a lost cause, however. Mr Branford has provided a personal touch that corporate entities cannot emulate; his approach of "evidence not opinion" when dealing with healthcare information, is complimented by his willingness to offer an opinion when it's relevant, on top of the facts. This transparency is refreshing, and, in conjunction with his professional accolades, is surely something that has aided him in gaining over 62.1k people who want to listen to what he has to say. The cardiac physiology profession is notoriously under-staffed, and whilst the numbers of applicants is on the increase, a quick visit to various college forums shows that the ins and outs of the career are still lost on many students (if you can find a discussion at all). The general career pathways and the salaries seem to be known to these confused individuals, but the actual job is what nobody has much of an idea about. How are we to persuade these potential cardiac scientists to sign up if they don't know what they'll be doing for the rest of their professional lives? Asking someone to commit their future to a career and saddle themselves with increasing debt when they don't really have a great deal of information readily available to them is a far cry from the informed consent we strive to gain from our patients. Taking responsibility, and putting some research into one's own future is obviously something everyone has to get used to, but I'm sure most people remember how overwhelming that was, so the shortage of new staff members must be more complicated than students simply not looking hard enough. Besides which, it SHOULDN'T be so difficult to find this career..! I've got a year to go until I qualify, and I've met some truly inspiring people whom, if I wasn't already on my way, I know could easily convince me to start. We find what we do fascinating, so surely some of these young minds will be just as invested if they have the chance to see it for themselves.
The Pew Research Centre provides data that places 16-24 year olds as the most avid users of social media (above), and displays a steady growth of users across all age groups year-on-year since 2005, so with a collective effort, it surely wouldn't be too difficult to a) entice some of these users who are in the middle of their A-Levels, and unsure of which healthcare profession is for them, and b) come together as a profession in a more open and approachable manner to showcase our science and how much of an impact we have on medical diagnostics.
Olivier Branford is a plastic surgeon and associate editor of PRS Global Open journal, and can be found on Twitter under his eponymous handle @OlivierBranford.

Extremely proud to be Jordanian
I've never been so proud of Jordan before. Today the Minister of Education, Dr. Khaled Touqan, alongside with the head of Fighting Corruption department from the Jordanian Central Intelligence agency, they both have announced that the Tawjihi exams were stolen and sold in the market. Upon this discovery, the minister of Education has cancelled the exams taken so far, and announced that new exams will be created and given starting in one week.
This is truly great. For years, stealing exam questions has been a continuous habit. Private schools have made profit by giving these questions to their students to increase the school's average score. But this time, this year this Minister of Education meant NO FOOLING. He called the Jordanian Central Intelligence to investigate. The JCI caught the main people who stole the papers, and they also caught several private schools who bought the exams. Apparently, the head of the 4th Educational Area was involved in this act of corruption.
This decision must have been VERY BRAVE by the minister of education. His job is on the line now - but still, he did it, because it's the right thing.
This minister of education, Dr. Khaled Touqan, graduated from MIT and taught there for a while. And then, he came back to head the University of Balqa. Pretty much, he brought the best professors from University of Jordan who were reprimanded time and again for their advanced and progressive educational methods. I met several of these professors, and they talk about this guy as a great and brilliant scientist and manager. He was the one who convinced the EU to build a Nuclear Research plant in Jordan for the use of the Middle East universities. He then became the minister of Education. One of his biggest achievements so far is putting the Internet in the education. He has requested that every single teacher in the ministry to take free Internet and Computer courses. He's also installing a complete IT infrastructure to keep and distribute all data in schools and the ministry. My mother is a teacher in a public school, and it's amazing to see her talk about NetMeeting and chatting and using Word and Excel. Now, just imagine that all public school teachers will - slows but persistently - will reach that point.
The only bad thing about Dr.Touqan's Press Release was the VERY VERY STUPID journalists who were asking if he will give his resignation, and some were repeating out-of-earth rumors about "getting phone calls from Singapore to initiate the investigation"!! Anyways, to look at the positive side, the journalists had the chance to be rude during the press release, which is SOMETHING RATHER NEW in a small 3rd world country like Jordan.
Today, I'm very happy. I'm very hopeful. I'm very proud to be Jordanian.

Proud to be what!!
What is Jordan! Is that a yard or a playground or a little park?
Sykes peco are very proud of you too. Most likely you will be standing behind them in line on the day of Judgment. At least they got something from it, control of your world. But what do idiots like you get in return! a stupid piece of paper and an empty pride!! I feel sorry for you.
