'We Don't Need US Aid'
IndoCanadians
A US decision to suspend $800 million in military aid to Pakistan is more likely to drive the wedge between the troubled allies deeper than compel the military to fight harder against Taliban and al Qaeda linked militants on its territory, White House chief of staff William Daley confirmed on Sunday. The report said that Obama administration had held off a third of $2 billion in security aid in a show of displeasure over Pakistan's cutback of US military trainers, limits on visa for US personnel and other bilateral irritants.
However, more US financial penalties could take a toll on Pakistan's fragile economy. On Monday, putting up a brave front Pakistan army claimed it would continue to conduct operations without American assistance. "We have no comments on the American move," said a spokesman for the Pakistani military, adding, "The Pakistan Army, in the past as well as at present, has conducted successful military operations using its own resources without any external support whatsoever."
The United States provides about $300 million a year to reimburse Pakistan for deploying more than 100,000 troops along the Afghan border to combat militant groups, a leading daily said. Other funding covers training and military hardware. It would be damaging to the relationship if Washington held back on these funds, said Pakistan's former ambassador to the United States, retired major-general Mehmood Durrani said, reflecting a widespread view in Pakistan that it was fighting America's war, and Washington must pay for it. "This is something that they have to pay, and if they don't then it's breach of agreement and breach of trust."
But while the military could weather the storm, Pakistan's economy might be hit if Washington holds back on what is called the Coalition Support Fund.
The CSF is not aid, but reimbursements for money already spent on military operations, and it goes into the general treasury. So holding back these payments won't hurt the military, but would strain the country's finances further at a time when it is battling a deep downturn.

Pakistani Anti-graft body wants travel ban on Nawaz Sharif, kin
Pakistan's anti-corruption watchdog has asked authorities to place ousted premier Nawaz Sharif, his daughter and son-in-law on the Exit Control List to prevent them from leaving the country.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) sent a formal request to the ministry of interior. The interior ministry officials confirmed that the NAB wrote that names of Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Capt (retd) Muhammad Safdar should be put on the Exit Control List (ECL), which listed individuals not allowed to leave Pakistan.
The NAB argued that as the trial of the three nears its conclusion, it is feared that they would leave the country.
Earlier, a similar request to place name of finance minister Ishaq Dar on ECL was not accepted, allowing him to go to London and never return.
Sharif, 68, and his family this week filed an application with the accountability court seeking a fortnight's exemption from personal appearance from February 19 onwards to let them go to London to see Sharif's ailing wife. Three cases were filed against Sharif and his family last year, including Avenfield properties, Azizia & Hill Metal Establishment, and Flagship Investments.
Maryam and Safdar are accused only in Avenfield properties case. The NAB had filed two supplementary references against Sharif, his sons Hasan and Hussain regarding Al-Azizia Steel Mills & Hill Metal Establishment and Flagship Investment cases.
Pakistan "breaches obligations' on nuclear arms reduction, UN court told
The Hague: Pakistan is violating its "obligations" to the international community by failing to reduce its nuclear arsenal, the Marshall Islands told the UN's highest court on Tuesday.
The small Pacific Island nation is this week launching three unusual cases against India, Pakistan and Britain before the International Court of Justice.
Majuro wants to put a new spotlight on the global nuclear threat, its lawyers said yesterday, by using its own experience with massive US-led nuclear tests in the 1940s and 1950s.
"Pakistan is in breach of its obligations owed to the international community as a whole," when it comes to reducing its nuclear stockpile, said Nicholas Grief, one of the island nation's lawyers.
Islamabad and its nuclear-armed neighbour India "continue to engage in a quantitative build-up and a qualitative improvement" of their atomic stockpiles, added Tony deBrum, a Marshallese government minister.
DeBrum warned that even a "limited nuclear war" involving the two countries would "threaten the existence" of his island nation people.
Pakistan and India have fought three wars since independence from Britain in 1947, two of them over the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir.
In 1998, the rival neighbours both demonstrated nuclear weapons capability.
The ICJ's judges are holding hearings for the next week and a half to decide whether it is competent to hear the lawsuits brought against India and Pakistan — neither of which have signed the 1968 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
A third hearing against Britain — which has signed the NPT — scheduled to start on Wednesday will be devoted to "preliminary objections" raised by London.
The Marshalls initially sought to bring a case against nine countries it said possessed nuclear arms: Britain, China, France, India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia and the United States.
Israel has never admitted to having nuclear weapons.
But the Hague-based ICJ, set up in 1945 to rule in disputes between states, has only admitted three cases against Britain, India and Pakistan, because they have accepted the ICJ's compulsory jurisdiction.
Pakistan's lawyers did not attend Tuesday's hearings.
It did however file a counter-claim against Majuro's allegations saying "the court has no jurisdiction to deal with the application" and insisting that the case is "not admissible", said ICJ President Ronny Abraham.
Bangladesh to drop Islam as official religion following attacks on Hindus
New Delhi: Bangladesh is likely to drop Islam as its official religion following a series of attacks on people from other faiths in the country. The country's Supreme Court is hearing a plea challenging the status of the official religion of the country to Islam.
Bangladesh, which was declared a secular country after its formation in 1971, was declared an Islamic country following a constitutional amendment in 1988.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, the plea has challenged the declaration of Islam as the national religion of the country.
The move is being supported by leaders from the minority communities like Hindus, Christians and Muslim minority Shiites.
Bangladesh has 90 per cent of Muslims, 8 per cent Hindus and remaining constitutes Christians and Muslim minority Shiites.
In last month, a Hindu priest was hacked to death following an attack on a temple in Panchgarh district. Two others were seriously injured in the attack. There have been several lethal attacks on writers and bloggers.
According to a report in the Independent, Islamist groups Jumatul Mujahedeen Bangladesh and Ansarullah Bangla Team are believed to have carried out at least seven attacks on foreign and minority people in Bangladesh in the past year.

If you're in to product design, software construction, construction or any other industry, there is usually generally even more than a person way to get factors done. With regards to projectmanagement, both the most legendary methods to get getting stuff done would be the classic waterfall style of task control and the brand-new kid in the prohibit, pronto task operations. To decide which can be best to get your needs, you need to develop a sound understanding of the advantages and limitations of each type of task operations strategy. In this article we all check to see precisely what is different about the two disciplines, and do a comparison of side simply by side the huge benefits and limits of each.
Waterfall project management imitates the normal work flow procedure in any production or building project as it is a sequential process. Each of the stages happens in solitude, and when full, the team begin the up coming level in the order. Waterfall job management relies upon meticulous record keeping. This means there is also a crystal clear newspaper trek to adhere to, enabling the method to be refined and superior in the future. From the beginning, the customer may have a clear thought of what is going to happen during project delivery. They will be aware of around what the expense, timescales and size of the job will probably be, and will contain a good idea of what to expect worth. Once a level in the method is over, at this time there is no way to go back and change things without scrapping the overall project and beginning again. The full procedure depends on effective original requirements; any time these are mistaken then the task is condemned to inability from the outset. The item is produced in levels and only examined fully in the end, meaning discrepancies may always be thus historical worth product that they are very unlikely to eliminate. Finally, this kind of job control does not allow for changes to the brief, consequentlyif the client understands they have to adjust the quick half approach through, sacrifices will will need to become manufactured in conditions of finances and timescales.

At the end of each and every sprint the modules will be tested to discover any discrepancies or flaws and customer feedback is gathered ahead of the up coming sprint occurs. Plenty of improvements can be produced after original plans will be developed, actually rewrites and major alterations are practically predicted. This will make it simpler to add features and keep abreast of changesin the sector, even while the task has been sent. Standard assessment ensures imperfections are recognized in the beginning, that means that the merchandise can be looking forward to introduction faster and is more likely to be a top quality item. This method needs a solid project supervisor to keep details about track and balance out ingenuity with project delivery requirements. Because of the haziness of the main project program, the last item may often prove to be wildly dissimilar to what was actually expected.
Both methods of job management have their as well as place, and the one which will is best for your needs will depend entirely with your specific quick. When you know what a final product should be and are also confident the client won't need to adjustment the range half approach through, design project managing is the good friend.

Number Four on the Meeple Like Us Ten Top Best Board Games 2018 Edition!
You didn't make the podium, fours. That's because you weren't hungry enough to really be the best board game. Or at least, not the best of the best board games. You lost today. That doesn't mean you have to like it. Never mind that though – I know this is a huge disappointment after all your hard work but we like you. That's all that matters since we're the ones that write the list. I guess what I'm saying is if we liked you more you might have done better in the rankings. Just something to think about. Just a wee thought to chew over in the dark of some cold night.
Hanamikoji is a game I love so much that merely being set in the same world is enough for me to buy a game sight unseen. It's the most immaculate game I own – not a milimetre of waste is to be found in its slim, svelte box. It contains exactly the right number of cards. It contains exactly the right number of options you have in a round. It also contains exactly the right number of actions you get to take until the round is over. Just four actions. You only make four decisions in a round of Hanamikoji but you'll be amazed at the difficulty of those decisions. Hanamikoji is a game where both players feel at the end like you somehow managed to gang up on each other and it's glorious. It's basically so good as a two player game that I almost never even think about Ol' Favourite Jaipur any more.
Pauline: The art in Hanamikoji is undeniably beautiful, but I sometimes find it a frustrating game because there's often no good choice to be had. I like my games to be fun, and Hanamikoji feels a bit more like a collaborative exercise in psychic screaming.
Michael: There's no denying at the end of every game of this I feel like I've just been through a bout of extreme and non-consensual rage therapy. It's amazing how few decisions you make and how much you'll come to regret each and every one.
Pauline: I do like this but I'm not sure I've really sussed out how to win it. I think you like it because it's one of the few games that you actually know how to beat me at.
Michael: Feeling bad about myself for picking badly from a set of impossible choices is pretty much the only real life-skill I have. It's nice to find a game that rewards it.
Concordia is just beautiful. I love how you don't necessarily know who is in the lead. I love the quality of the components and the different shape for the wheats and the wines and the silks. It's such an immersive and tactile approach to the physical elements of the game. I really like the way that multiple people at the board benefit when you take your game actions – it's really collegiate for a game that isn't a cooperative title. There are lots of different strategies, lots of different ways to win. It's a Goldilocks game – not too simple, not too complex, not too short, not too long – it's just right. Practically perfect in every way.
Michael: Ah, Concordia. I'm glad one of us kept it in the upper echelons of our top ten list. It deserves all the affection it gets.
Pauline: It's pretty sad you're more concerned about the affection I have for Concordia than you are for the affection you give me.
Michael: That's not true. You're in the upper echelons on any number of my top ten lists.
Pauline: What lists? What echelons? I better be number one, buddy.
Michael: I like to keep you at #2, because I figure that way you'll just try harder.

Ginny and Georgia outfits: Find fashion inspiration from our favorite duo!
Written by Gabriela Slavova Published Jan 13, 2023 @ 13:42
This year is expected to be interesting in the Netflix world after the brilliant start they made in January. One of the most anticipated shows for me finally returned with a second season and smashed all the charts. If it's not already clear, I'll tell you I am talking about Ginny and Georgia, of course! The awesome series about the relationship between a teen mother and daughter became an even bigger hit this year. Not only because of the good acting, but also because of the outfits. The character of Georgia Miller, played by Brianne Howey, gives a lot of inspiration on how to dress this year. Let's take a look at Ginny and Georgia outfits that we can copy!

1.2 Georgia Miller blazer collection
1.3 Ginny Miller: Iconic moments with a striped shirt
1.4 Ginny and Georgia outfits: Georgia's coat collection
2 Other Ginny and Georgia outfits
We were kept on the edge of our seats by the drama, but we couldn't help but notice how up to date the mother-daughter team and their friends and family were on fashion. Consequently, we were making notes on what to add to our wardrobe at the same time as we were debating if Marcus and Ginny would get back together. Even though as I already mention, Netflix exceeded my expectations with good TV Shows this January, today we are not going to discuss any drama. We are simply going to check out our favorite looks of Ginny and Georgia.
Georgia Miller's wedding dress: Cinderella edition
When I learned that Georgia Miller was getting married, I knew that the wedding dress will be epic! There wasn't a single doubt about that. But this magical gown exceeded my expectations. Let me tell you, I watched the scene where she walks in, probably ten times or even more. Debra J. Fisher, the show's executive producer and creator, and Lampert determined that Georgia's bridal attire should be inspired by none other but Cinderella, which is kind of poetic if you think about it. It took 150 hours to make this dress, by the Canadian designer Ines Di Santo. It was worth it though, because it instantly became iconic!
Georgia Miller blazer collection
She's not just a mom, she is a cool mom! I will not stop saying this about Georgia Miller, she sure knows how to wear a blazer. This quickly became a trend on the internet, since we see her wearing a lot of blazers on the show, especially this season. If you don't have the budget as the Netflix team, you can still opt for the same look. You can find similar blazers at Zara, ASOS, Mango and others. How to match your blazer? I would say, a pair of jeans is always a good idea, if you want something casual. However, if you want something a little bit more chic, a mini skirt is the way to go!
Ginny Miller: Iconic moments with a striped shirt
If Ginny had a signifier it would be a striped shirt. We see her wearing them constantly in both season 1 and season 2 of the show. She cleverly combines them and I like that she doesn't go for the plain black and white combination that was a super hit in 2022. Many girls even wore these tops by throwing them over their trench coats. The people in charge of the wardrobes at Netflix must have known what they were doing since they chose such colorful items for her. They accentuated her youthfulness and made Ginny even cuter.
Ginny and Georgia outfits: Georgia's coat collection
Aside from making her blazers an absolute hit, Georgia's coats were the other most talked about thing among the outfits of the show's characters. This season is filmed mainly in the winter time, so we saw different types of coats, but every single one was absolutely stunning. The one that you see in the picture was my personal favorite.
Georgia Miller's white coat
Speaking of trends, the white coat that Georgia was wearing in the Christmas episode, was very chic. Pairing it with a scarf and gloves gave it this cozy vibe, but somehow it remained elegant.
Georgia Miller's green coat
The green coat was the fen's favorite. Even in the show we hear one of the characters mentions to Ginny that her mom has great coats. And I mean, she does!

Ronald Howard, dit Ron Howard, , est un réalisateur, acteur et producteur américain, né le  à Duncan, en Oklahoma.

Comme acteur, il incarne Richie Cunningham, le héros de la série culte des années 1970 Happy Days.

La décennie suivante, il s'impose comme réalisateur en signant plusieurs longs métrages :  (1985), Willow (1988) et  (1991).

Il accède à la reconnaissance critique durant les années 1990-2000 : Apollo 13 (1995) lui vaut une nomination au Golden Globe du meilleur réalisateur, puis deux biopics avec Russell Crowe, Un homme d'exception (2001) et De l'ombre à la lumière (2005) lui permettent de décrocher l'Oscar du meilleur réalisateur et du meilleur film. Il confirme avec un autre film historique, Frost/Nixon (2008), salué par une nomination à l'Oscar du meilleur film et du meilleur réalisateur.

Durant les années suivantes, il poursuit sa collaboration avec Tom Hanks (entamée avec Splash (1984) et Apollo 13), en signant la trilogie des aventures de Robert Langdon (2006-2016). Ses films ont rapporté plus de 3 milliards de dollars de recettes au box-office mondial.

 Biographie
 Jeunesse
Ronald William Howard naît le  à Duncan, en Oklahoma.

Il est le fils des comédiens Rance Howard et Jean Speegle Howard, il est également le frère aîné de l'acteur Clint Howard.

 Révélation télévisuelle (années 1970)

Enfant star, Ron Howard débute à l'écran à l'âge de dix-huit mois dans Frontiere Woman puis six mois plus tard sous la direction de son père dans la pièce . À cinq ans, il tient un petit rôle dans Le Voyage d'Anatole Litvak puis commence à apparaître à la télévision dans des dizaines de dramatiques et de séries.

En 1973, il s'est fait connaître du grand public en jouant le rôle de Steve Bolander dans le film American Graffiti de George Lucas. Il est ensuite invité dans un épisode de la série M*A*S*H fin 1973.

Après ses études secondaires, il interprète le rôle de Richie Cunningham dans la série télévisée Happy Days à partir de 1974. Il quitte la série dès 1980, se contentant de faire quelques réapparitions sporadiques en 1983 et 1984.

 Passage à la réalisation de comédies (années 1980)
Tout en poursuivant sa carrière d'acteur au cinéma, Ron Howard se lance dans la réalisation en 1977, avec la comédie dramatique, Lâchez les bolides, puis la comédie Les Croque-morts en folie en 1982 - pour laquelle il dirige aussi son ex-collègue Henry Winkler - et surtout Splash, qui lui permet non seulement de remporter un grand succès commercial en 1984, mais surtout de diriger pour la première fois Tom Hanks tout en s'essayant à la science-fiction.

Il se lance dès l'année suivante dans un registre dramatique avec le mélodrame fantastique . Il continue néanmoins à se diversifier sur un terrain léger : en menant Michael Keaton pour la satire Gung Ho, du saké dans le moteur (1986), en plongeant dans l'épopée fantastique pour Willow (1988), en réalisant la comédie dramatique familiale Portrait craché d'une famille modèle. Si les deux premiers films divisent la critique, le dernier essai est acclamé par la critique.

 Reconnaissance dans un registre dramatique (années 1990)

Ron Howard entame les années 1990 en réalisant le salué thriller d'action , avec un casting de vétérans du cinéma hollywoodien : Kurt Russell, William Baldwin, Robert De Niro et Donald Sutherland. Il poursuit en 1992 avec une romance, mal reçue, Horizons Lointains - portée par le tandem de méga-stars de la décennie Tom Cruise / Nicole Kidman - mais renoue avec la critique pour la comédie dramatique Le Journal, en 1994.

En 1995, il connait le second succès majeur de sa carrière avec Tom Hanks - l'aventure spatiale Apollo 13 connait un large succès critique et commercial et vaut au cinéaste une citation de la  au titre de meilleur réalisateur, et reçoit le prix du meilleur film lors des  de 1996. La même année, il livre le thriller La Rançon, porté par Mel Gibson et Rene Russo.

Il quitte la décennie en faisant un clin d'oeil à la télévision avec la satire En direct sur Edtv (1999).

 Entre adaptations et biographies (années 2000)

La décennie 2000 sera marquée par de nombreux projets commerciaux, d'où n'émergeront que deux biopics avec Russell Crowe, tous deux salués par la critique.

En effet, après avoir signé la comédie familiale populaire qu'est l'adaptation Le Grinch en 2000, il renoue avec le registre dramatique deux ans plus tard.

La consécration critique du cinéaste intervient en 2002 lorsqu'il reçoit l'Oscar du meilleur réalisateur lors de la  des Oscars pour Un homme d'exception, qui remportera également l'Oscar du meilleur film. Le film est une biographie de John Forbes Nash (interprété par Russell Crowe), un grand mathématicien souffrant de schizophrénie paranoïde. Sa médiatisation est alors à son comble : Il assure lui-même sa voix dans plusieurs épisodes de la série Les Simpson en 1998, 1999 et 2002.

En 2003, il s'aventure sur le terrain du western avec Les Disparues, porté par Cate Blanchett et Tommy Lee Jones, qui ne convainc ni la critique, ni le public. Du côté de la télévision, il produit, dans la même année, la comédie télévisée Arrested Development (série télévisée), créée par Mitchell Hurwitz. Le cinéaste prête également sa voix au narrateur du programme. Les critiques sont bonnes, mais les faibles audiences contribuent à l'arrêt du programme en 2006, au bout de trois saisons.

En 2005, le tandem Ron Howard / Russell Crowe se reforme pour une autre biographie De l'ombre à la lumière qui marque aussi le retour du premier à l'écriture. Les critiques sont bonnes.

Ron Howard accepte ensuite un projet ouvertement commercial : l'adaptation de Da Vinci Code, le best-seller de Dan Brown, prévu pour la fin de l'année 2006. Ce projet lui permet de retrouver pour une troisième fois Tom Hanks, cette fois dans le rôle du personnage principal Robert Langdon. L'adaptation fait l'ouverture du  festival de Cannes et remporte un grand succès au box-office (550 millions de dollars), le plus gros succès du réalisateur. Pourtant le film recevra des critiques désastreuses, les plus mauvaises de sa carrière.

En 2008, il vient défendre un film plus intimiste : la biographie Frost/Nixon, l'heure de vérité, adapté de la pièce de théâtre de Peter Morgan. Cet essai lui permet de livrer un thriller politique racontant l'affrontement télévisuel entre le président Américain Richard Nixon et le présentateur David Frost et il renoue de façon spectaculaire avec la critique.

La décennie se conclut néanmoins avec la suite de Da Vinci Code : une adaptation du roman Anges et Démons, également signé Dan Brown. C'est un nouveau succès au box-office en dépit des critiques très médiocres.

 Années 2010

En 2011, la comédie Le Dilemme est un flop critique et commercial, qui ne rembourse même pas son budget. En 2012, le long métrage  lui permet cependant de renouer avec le succès. Ce long-métrage sur le monde de la Formule 1, raconte la célèbre rivalité entre les pilotes autrichien Niki Lauda et britannique James Hunt dans les années 1970. Le film est acclamé par la presse, les recettes sont satisfaisantes, malgré une distribution limitée.

L'année suivant, il revient à la comédie, mais cette fois télévisée, en co-produisant une quatrième saison d''', lancée en 2013 par la plateforme Netflix.

En 2015, il réalise le blockbuster d'aventures Au cœur de l'océan, qui est néanmoins rapidement considéré comme un échec, malgré la présence de la star montante Chris Hemsworth qu'il avait déjà dirigé dans Rush 3 ans plus tôt.

En 2016, il poursuit la saga des aventures de Robert Langdon avec le thriller ésotérique Inferno, adapté du roman éponyme sorti en 2013. Les critiques sont aussi mauvaises que pour le précédent opus.

À l'été 2017, il est le président d'honneur de la  édition du Festival « Un Réalisateur dans la Ville » à Nîmes.

En , deux jours après que Lucasfilm ait annoncé le renvoi de Phil Lord et Chris Miller, Ron Howard est appelé pour reprendre la réalisation du film sur Han Solo sorti en .

En , il est annoncé pour diriger le pilote de 68 Whiskey, l'adaptation télévisuelle d'une série israélienne intitulée Charlie Golf One.

Années 2020

Il met en scène Une ode américaine, un drame familial basé sur les mémoires de l'homme d'affaires J. D. Vance. Le film est diffusé fin 2020 sur Netflix. Il reçoit plusieurs nominations aux Oscars et aux Golden Globes.

Il dirige ensuite Treize Vies (Thirteen Lives), film sur les opérations de secours de la grotte de Tham Luang en juin 2018 et sorti en 2022.

Ron Howard se marie le  avec l'actrice Cheryl Aley. Ils ont quatre enfants, dont l'actrice-réalisatrice Bryce Dallas Howard.

Home All News Animals Turtle Rescuers Have Been Using Recycled Bra Clasps to Save Injured Turtles
Turtle Rescuers Have Been Using Recycled Bra Clasps to Save Injured Turtles
A clever wildlife rescue group is showing that bras can support much more than just women's bodies – they can also support the shells of injured turtles.
The Carolina Waterfowl Rescue has been recycling worn-out bras by using the clasps to secure cracked and broken turtle shells.
It can take anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks for a fractured turtle shell to heal completely. Over the course of the last month, the organization says that they have been treating about 40 turtles every week.
Many of the turtles have suffered damage to their shell after being hit by a lawnmower, car, or motorized vehicle. Thankfully, the rescuers have managed to fix the reptile shells by gluing the pieces together and using bra clasps to secure the shell with wire.
LOOK: When Bird Rescuers Ask for Help During Nesting Season, Thousands of People Donate Hand-Knitted Nests
This is not the first time that the Carolina Waterfowl Rescue has come up with a clever solution for wildlife medical treatment. In April, the group asked their supporters to send them hand-knitted nests for rescued baby birds who had been abandoned or injured during nesting season.
The rescue organization, which is based out of Indian Trail, North Carolina, recently made a Facebook post asking if women could send in their old bras for recycling – but since news outlets began sharing the group's innovative medical technique, rescuers say that they have been inundated with old bras.
The group has reassured concerned Facebook readers that they only use the clasps from bras that are no longer suitable for everyday use. If they receive any bras that still seem to be in relatively good shape, then the reptile rescuers simply donate them to charity.
"We work closely with our friends at Common Heart who run a thrift store and a food pantry," writes the Waterfowl Rescue Facebook page. "If we get any bras and they are usable, they will be donated there. Unusable ones will have the clasps recycled for the turtles."
That being said, the Carolina Waterfowl Rescue asks that readers support their rescue mission by either sponsoring a rescued turtle or making a donation on their website.

HDFC Bank is most valuable Indian brand for 6th year in a row: BrandZ
Brand-building for longevity and future growth have become major focus for top brands in BrandZ Top 75 Most Valuable Indian Brands ranking, released today by WPP and Kantar. This year's results revealed a 6 per cent rise in overall brand value to $228.2 billion, a moderate pace compared to previous years, given India's recent macroeconomic challenges. Despite that, such growth is still in line with that of the BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global brands, as India steadily rises in global economic rankings.
HDFC Bank, now ranked No. 1 for a sixth consecutive year, has demonstrated the rewards of maintaining a forward-thinking and innovative outlook, with its consistent focus on exceeding the changing needs of its customers. With new financial products, an ongoing drive towards digital banking and new branches set-up throughout the country, the bank grew 5 per cent in brand value to $22.7 billion. This is a positive contrast to the 8 per cent decline in value of the top 20 global banks.
Notable brands include ecommerce site Flipkart (No. 12), which increased its brand value 14 per cent to $4.7 billion, while unicorn brands hotel booking site OYO ($2.0 billion), online food ordering service Swiggy ($1.6 billion) and online restaurant marketplace Zomato ($1.0 billion) are newcomers to the ranking at No. 30, No. 39 and No. 61, respectively.
The fastest riser in the 2019 ranking is telecom provider, Jio, which climbed one place to No. 9 with a 34 per cent increase in brand value to $5.5 billion. Its disruptive business model has made internet access available to many Indians who were previously unable to afford it, thereby opening up access to digital platforms and services. Vodafone ($2.5 billion), meanwhile, was the top-ranked newcomer at No. 24.
Both digital and offline brands such as D-Mart (No. 25, $2.4 billion) have found success as a result of the rise of 'middle India'; the growing number of people in the country's second, third and fourth-tier cities and towns that are changing India's traditional urban-rural divide. These previously poorly-served segments increasingly have access to a variety of online services, with Swiggy and Zomato building much of their growth on this shift.
BrandZ Top 10 Most Valuable Indian Brands 2019:
Brand Value 2019 ($M USD)
Brand Value Change
The BrandZ study, which is the only brand valuation ranking to combine companies' financial data with consumer insight and opinion, shows that trust is key to develop the stability required for long-term success; highly trusted brands in the Top 75 are worth 129 per cent more than less trusted ones.
Trusted brands include many of the consumer-facing technology platforms and service providers. Despite owing their success to disruptive beginnings, these brands now also focus on activities to build trust such as ongoing and effective communications with consumers that generate comfort and familiarity with using the brand. With a 30 per cent increase in value, this sector was the fastest growing group of brands in the ranking.
With an expanding choice of offerings to buy, Indian consumers increasingly care more about the quality of service than whether a brand originates in India, as long as it demonstrates that it understands what it means to be Indian. That insight is reflected in the decision by Amazon to launch itself a year ago as India's 'neighbourhood shop'.
David Roth, CEO of The Store WPP EMEA and Asia and Chairman of BrandZ, said, "As India flexes its muscles on the world stage, it faces increased macroeconomic headwinds which have combined with a rise in global trade tensions to create a challenging environment. Successful Indian brands are adapting to these challenges and recognising that longevity requires them to do more than just disrupt the status quo; long-term brand building requires new strategies that major on stability."
Preeti Reddy, CEO - South Asia, Insights Division, Kantar, noted, "Consumer trust is a common thread among successful brands. However, it is concerning that only a few have succeeded in growing trust over the last five years. Those who done so, have done it through open and honest conversations with their customers. Brands would do well to consciously work at building consumer trust – it is the shield that gives a brand the resilience to face headwinds in uncertain times."
Vishikh Talwar, Chief Client Officer, Kantar Insights Division, added here, "The rise of 'middle India', combined with rapid growth of the mobile internet is providing unprecedented opportunities for brands. But, with an almost overwhelming choice of products and services to buy, consumers are increasingly discerning; the Indian psyche requires that brands cater for local needs with offerings that genuinely improve daily life. Today, that's as much about providing comfort and reliability as it is about generating new experiences."
In general, India's top brands are taking a long-term approach to value creation. Over the past five years, a stock portfolio containing the BrandZ India Top 75 Most Valuable Indian Brands would have increased 33.8 per cent in value. This compares to a rise of just 12.4 per cent for India's Sensex, an index of 30 stocks on the Bombay Stock Exchange, demonstrating that valuable brands generate superior shareholder value.
Key trends highlighted in the BrandZ Indian Top 75 study include:
Mobile internet access:Smartphone user numbers in India increased by 18% in 2018 (the fastest rate of growth in the world), mainly due to a combination of Jio's own low tariffs and the renewed competition causing other telecom providers to reduce their rates.
Buying power:Retail is the second fastest growing category, with online and offline both growing strongly. New entrant Reliance Retail (No. 55, $1.1 billion) opened nearly 500 new stores and used Jio's service to connect retail shops with grocery deliveries, while D-Mart ($2.4 billion) focused predominantly on offline, rising two places to No. 25.
The Amazon effect:Amazon and Flipkart compete with many Indian brands across several sectors, with Amazon also opening its largest campus yet in India. This has increased competition and driven brands to step up their operations to ensure they are meeting customers' needs.
A confident country: The success of unicorn brands such as Swiggy, Zomato and OYO is fostering a new-found confidence in India. This is augmented with the increasingly global outlook of these new brands as they actively seek to expand their operations outside India.

Kosmos Energy, one of the stakeholders in Ghana's Jubilee oil field where Ghana's first commercial production of oil is expected in December has submitted a 'Declaration of Commerciality' to the Ghana government. The Declaration, it says is for the southeast Jubilee area. And Tullow Oil plans to issue four million shares on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE).
Meanwhile, Tullow Oil says it is planning a secondary listing, and issuance of up to four million new shares on the GSE. According to Tullow, this is intended "to create a more accessible opportunity for Ghanaian individuals and institutions to invest in the future of their oil industry through Tullow," it said.
Kosmos Energy is also the operator of the West Cape Three Points block, and it plans an exploration drilling campaign, scheduled to commence in the West Cape Three Points licence in December commencing with the Teak prospect, it said.
Commercial discovery of oil in Ghana was announced in June 2007. And Tullow says it has made excellent progress on the Jubilee development in the second half of 2010 including the commissioning, testing and final installation work on the FPSO and subsea systems and the completion of four development wells.
First Oil from Jubilee Phase 1, a major milestone in the development of Ghana's oil resources, is expected in early December, according to Tullow.
Initial production capacity of around 50,000 bopd is expected to be delivered before year-end and production is expected to ramp up to 120,000 bopd over the next three to six months, it said.

Perth building outlet to close due to decline in sales as builders turn to ordering online
By Hannah Barry
April 30, 2019 — 2.40pm
A stalwart building outlet in Perth's northern suburbs will close due to a decline in sales over the past year, with many builders choosing to go online for product rather than transporting product themselves.
Midland Brick in Osborne Park is set to close in the next week after the store was sold about six months ago.

Midland Brick sales and marketing general manager Tom Guthrie said the decision to sell off the location was due to a number of reasons, but said there had been a distinct move by Midland Brick customers to the company's online store.
"There had been a steady decline in sales in the store, whcih was accelerated over the last 12 months," he said.
"It has become less economically viable since we've opened up our low-cost delivery service."
Mr Guthrie said the company had seen an increase in its online sales over its bricks and mortar stores in recent months, and it had shown positive signs as a new way for builders to order their product.
He said the 2181sqm block was also not well suited to the trucks that came through to drop off and collect product, particularly due to its location across the road from a childcare centre.
The Midland Brick store will continue to operate through running stock down over the next week, and all regular customers will be contacted about where they could alternatively go for their orders.
A builder who spoke to Radio 6PR's Oliver Peterson on Monday said the outlet's closure was frustrating for those that relied on its location because it was close to other material stores in the Osborne Park industrial district.
He said many customers would now be forced to travel to Subiaco, Middle Swan or Joondalup for their orders.
The Midland Brick store has been rezoned for mixed use since it was sold, allowing redevelopment that could see the site become a residential, office or medical space.

Washington quarterback Kyle Allen suffered a nasty-looking ankle injury, clearing the way for Smith to see his first start since 2018. Fellow Washington quarterback Dwayne Haskins started the first four games but has seemingly fallen off the depth chart in recent weeks. If I'm playing against you, I still got to get after your ass. I think his return to football really was about competing with himself to get himself back on the football field.

"You watch guys like Aaron all the time and as effective as he is, you guys have no idea how impressive it is with all the attention he gets week after week," Rams linebacker Troy Reeder said. Rivera said if Allen can play next week, Smith would back up and Haskins would again be inactive. UP NEXTThe Rams visit the 49ers next Sunday, while Washington is at the NFC East rival New York Giants.

This hasn't been a good day for last season's two Super Bowl participants. The reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs suffered their first loss of the season earlier Sunday when they fell 40-32 at home to the Las Vegas Raiders. This is the first time in the Super Bowl era that the two teams that played in the Super Bowl the previous season have allowed at least 40 points at home on the same day. The reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers both entered Sunday undefeated. Atlanta cornerback Kendall Sheffield suffered a right ankle injury in the second quarter and was listed as questionable to return.

Washington Football Team benches former Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins, names Allen as starter
Former Ohio State standout Dwayne Haskins went from first-round draft pick to third-string quarterback on Wednesday. The Washington Football Team on Wednesday reportedly benched the former Heisman Trophy finalist as starter in favor of Kyle Allen for this Sunday's game. Washington named Haskins as its starter ahead of the season, but the second-year quarterback has played inconsistently through the first four weeks. Haskins has completed 89 of 146 passes, for a 61 percent completion rate and scored four touchdowns. Carolina dealt Allen to Washington in March for a 2020 fifth-round pick.
Washington benches QB Haskins, switches to Allen vs. Rams
Rivera benched Haskins for Washington's next game Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams and turned to Kyle Allen as the new starter. That's what I'm doing."Alex Smith will back up Allen with Haskins inactive after not having enough time to learn a new system in his second year in the NFL. Rivera ended the Haskins experiment after a third consecutive loss in just his 11th pro start. "We gave him every opportunity," Rivera said. Haskins completed 72 of 115 passing attempts, threw three touchdowns and three interceptions and was sacked 10 times during Washington's three game skid.
Jackson shows MVP form to help Ravens beat Washington 31-17
– A few big plays went a long way for the Baltimore Ravens, who took a small step toward regaining the form they displayed last year as the highest-scoring team in the league. Lamar Jackson ran for a 50-yard touchdown and threw for two scores in a bounce-back performance by the reigning NFL MVP and the Ravens, who took control early against Washington in a 31-17 victory Sunday. Washington (1-3) had more first downs, owned an edge in time of possession and had only 7 fewer yards than Baltimore. The game was tough to watch for Washington coach Ron Rivera, and not just because of the score. Weakened by treatment he received during the week for cancer, Rivera occasionally took a break by sitting on the bench.
Murray runs for 2 TDs, Cardinals roll past Washington 30-15
Washington (1-1) finally scored a touchdown with 12:20 left in the fourth quarter when Dwayne Haskins hit Terry McLaurin for a 24-yard score. The Cardinals' revamped defense had a big day, holding Washington scoreless until Dustin Hopkins hit a 24-yard field goal late in the third quarter. Murray's pass into coverage was picked off by Landon Collins, giving Washington great field position at the Arizona 19. He was completely alone in the back of the end zone on third down and Murray hit him for the 4-yard score to make it 7-0. ... Washington right guard Brandon Scherff (knee) was hurt just before halftime and gingerly walked off the field with the help of medical staff.

5 Ohio State and analysts are predicting big things from first-year coach Ryan Day entering the Buckeyes' season opener against visiting Florida Atlantic on Saturday. LINE: Ohio State -27.5Day's first highly anticipated personnel decision came last week when he named Georgia transfer Justin Fields the starting quarterback. The ubertalented sophomore came to Ohio State last spring and flashed enough dual-threat capability through fall camp to be handed the reins to the offense, but matching first-round NFL draft pick Dwayne Haskins' production will be difficult. Senior TE Harrison Bryant might be Florida Atlantic's go-to player on offense after finishing 2018 with 45 receptions for 662 yards and four touchdowns.

Henderson Reeves recognised as one of NZ's most innovative law firms
An established Whangarei firm with a history dating back four decades, Henderson Reeves may be long-lived, but is anything but traditional. And now the company's forward-thinking policies have seen it recognised in the NZ Lawyer Magazine 2019 Innovative Firms list.
Director Ian Reeves said: "We are really pleased to have been named in this year's Innovative Firms list, and looking at the list of names it seems like we are in great company. It is very pleasing to see a Northland firm like Henderson Reeves can be recognised for innovation alongside much larger nationwide firms."
Kim Wilkinson, HR and Marketing Manager for Henderson Reeves, says the firm's innovations are driven by a desire to stay relevant to the needs of today's clients and staff. She cites the example of the firm's highly successful Smart Move Conveyancing brand, which was created to meet the needs of younger first home buyers.
"First home buyers want a quality service at an affordable price, and most of the time that's achievable because these property transactions can be processed efficiently," says Kim. "So we spent time creating a structure for Smart Move which means we can offer first home buyers what they want. Then they come back to the firm for other services, so it's been a great way of introducing a valuable younger client base to the firm."
More recently, Henderson Reeves has adopted innovative flexible working arrangements to retain top talent and break into the competitive Auckland market.
"There is limited potential for further growth in Northland, but Auckland is another obvious choice for expansion, and we are able to offer something very different in that marketplace," says Kim. "So when we were approached by two experienced female lawyers who wanted to stay in Auckland, and work flexible hours around their young children, we knew we had a great opportunity to succeed through innovation."
Henderson Reeves developed a mobile legal service, using branded hybrid vehicles to promote the service to a target market of young, professional and environmentally conscious Aucklanders. Using virtual offices, with remote support provided by the Whangarei office, the firm created an efficient and flexible business model that proved ideal for both clients and staff.
"The Auckland team has grown so quickly we have created a new shared office space in the city," says Kim. "It gives our Auckland staff somewhere central to meet clients, and it's really helpful for our Whangarei staff when they are appearing in Auckland courts."
The virtual office model has been so successful that Henderson Reeves has adopted it across the entire firm. This has been particularly beneficial to new mothers in the process of returning to work, and means the firm can retain talented personnel who might otherwise leave to focus on family.
"We now have two female lawyers with children who have been appointed as Directors," says Kim. "The flexible working arrangements mean they don't have to choose between family and work, which is a win for everyone."

I just realized that it's been well over a week since I last posted. Has it really been that long? I swear I've been posting regularly, haven't I? Oh right. I usually have a running commentary of future blog posts, thoughts, and ideas going through my head and must have confused the brainstorming as actual blogging. Oops! Don't you hate that when that happens? I find myself doing that with emails too. Hence why some emails go unanswered. I need to remedy that somehow.
I also just realized that I never made a post before taking off over the weekend, and so not that many people knew that I went to Seattle for Vogue Knitting Live. All of you on Instagram knew, but even then I was barely able to Instagram much due to the internet not working on my phone (what else is new?) - especially on the Saturday when there was so much happening. Grrr... oh well. I took a bunch of photos anyways.
Life in general at the moment has been a little scatterbrained, so it only makes sense that this post be a little scattered as well. I don't know why or how, but the Daylight Savings time change has really messed me up. Who knew that a mere hour can drastically alter your sense of time? Seriously. I've been feeling off by a few days and my timing is all whack - as in it'll be 5:30pm but to me it feels like early noon, which in turn makes me all stressed out and I'm rushing to get dinner made, the Munchkin fed and ready for bed, and somewhat trying to maintain the schedule that we had pre-time change. I feel like I'm playing a constant game of catch-up...but I'm severely losing.
So, since I'm having a hard time focusing on just one thing (cause I'm also trying to think about what's coming up immediately after), I thought why not do another random post? It kind of goes with this scatterbrained frame of mind that I'm currently stuck in. Yeah...let's do that.
♥ I can't remember if I mentioned it here on the blog or what, but I had really wanted to finish my Windswept pullover in time to wear it to VKL. I don't know how I managed to pull it off, but I somehow finished the pullover and had it blocked and dried in the nick of time and was able to sport it around on the Saturday. I don't think I took any photos of me actually wearing it though. Soon. I hope.
♥ I had extremely high hopes that I was going to spend the entire weekend knitting my little heart out. After all, I was at a knitting event. But did that happened? Let's just say that I brought along a pair of socks and the current not-so-secret secret project with the intent of coming back home with a finished pair of socks and half of a shawl. So what did I really do? Nothing on the shawl, and maybe an inch or two on a sock. Pathetic. What did I do all weekend?? Yikes!
♥ Whenever I go away for a few days I like to give myself a day buffer when I get home as a way to ease myself back into the routine. Yeah, not this time around. My messed up sense of time would not allow for such luxuries. Instead, I was thrown immediately back into reality where I was no longer surrounded by knitters and skeins of beautiful yarn, and had to deal with a major change in our daily routine. Usually I'm all for surprises. Not this time.
♥ The Munchkin is currently on week 2 of his 2 week spring break from school. Lucky duck. Back in my day when I was in school (ooh that makes me sound old!), we got a week. What's up with this 2 weeks off business?? This could possibly be another source of my messed up timing. Having the Munchkin home during the day, every day, for the past week has proven to be a little challenging. I'm trying to find ways to keep him busy while attempting to keep our schedule as routine as possible...it's exhausting work. What did I do with him when he wasn't in school?
♥ As if Spring Break wasn't enough, we now have to get used to a new routine as the Munchkin has (finally!) started a heavy duty round of therapy (re: it's every day right after school, smack dab in the middle of dinner time. Oh dear...). I know I've never mentioned it here on the blog, since I'm still working it all out myself in my own head and heart, and yeah...I'm somewhat of a private person. But this is something that will forever be a part of my life and will always come before knitting and whatever else I find myself doing. And yes, talking about it is helping me deal, so here we go: last summer the Munchkin was officially diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The Mister and I weren't shocked by this, it was expected and if anything it was more of a confirmation (man, the things we had to deal with leading up to the diagnosis...we're more relieved to know what we've got on our hands). The Munchkin is a high functioning ASD kiddo, but there's still SO much to learn and this is only the beginning. So if it's ever quiet on the blog and I haven't given any warning, then most likely I'm busy with life stuff.
♥ I've still got to blog about the current socks on my needles. They're almost done. Man, I'm crap at keeping the blog up to date! But apparently I'm pretty good at enabling others into buying yarn. Heh heh heh....excellent!
♥ Yesterday I met up with some friends to cast on mittens for Jane Richmond's Linden Mittens KAL (catch a glimpse of it on my Instagram feed). The KAL had actually started a week ago, but it's only now that I was able to cast on. The KAL ends Monday. I've got 4 days to knit a pair of mittens. I figure I've got 2 days to knit a mitten. I can do it.
♥ I just realized that I had totally forgotten to take my Etsy shop off of vacation mode. Oops!! Well, the shop is now back up and running. Sorry!
I think I should go make another pot of coffee. And maybe knit a few rounds of my mittens. Or on the socks. Maybe I should actually take a shower? Better yet, I think I should go make a to-do list. I have a feeling I'll forget something today. Like put on pants.
I am the same way - I often confusing *thinking* about sending an email with *sending* it, and the time change has really thrown me for a loop as well. Looks like you got a good haul at VK Live!
WOW - all the goodies from Tolt look amazing!!!


If you keep up to date with all things Boudavida you may remember we hit the driving range in January to try out golf as part of our 'Boudavida tries' challenge series. Our New Year's resolution was to try a new sport every month throughout the year to encourage you to do the same. We chose squash for February's challenge as three of the team were completely new to the sport and eager to give it a go.
All you need for a game of squash is a ball, racket and a wall or court, so it's super simple to get started with it. We walked to our local leisure centre in Shepton Mallet during our lunch break, proving it's really easy to fit a game of squash into your day. An average game usually lasts around 40 minutes so is perfect for a quick cardio burst in a busy day.
As complete novices, the team were given a quick low-down on the sport from our founder Anabel before we took it in turns to play each other. It's fairly simple to understand the basic principles of squash and to pick it up. We learnt the rules as we went along and were throwing ourselves around the court in no time!
At times it didn't feel like we were getting a workout because we didn't stop laughing throughout. However squash is amazing for fat burning as it's a fast, cardio based sport. We certainly felt the efforts of our hard work on our muscle groups the next day!
Players must hit the wall above the board and below the out line.
Get ready to run, but try and get your opponent running more than you!
Playing squash isn't too expensive with courts available to hire in most sports centres across the country, usually costing less than £10 for a session. You can also hire rackets and balls so you don't even need to invest in equipment. According to England Squash there are 500,000 people across England who play squash every month, with leisure centres also hosting leagues and competitions and dedicated clubs around the UK. They have a great website where you can search for your local squash facilities. While there is a strong participation in squash, England Squash have launched a 'Squash Girls Can' campaign to encourage and inspire more women and girls to participate in the sport. You can read more about the initiative, which is part of the incredible nationwide 'This Girl Can' campaign, here.
So if you're after a fun workout where you get fit without even realising we would highly recommend squash. Squash can be played by all ages and abilities and once you get the squash thrill you'll want to keep hitting the court.
If you'd like us to try a sport get in touch and give Boudavida a challenge at contact@boudavida.com.
