Dynamos star defender misses Harare derby through suspension
4th November 2015 Sport
DYNAMOS have been dealt a huge blow ahead of the Harare derby against bitter rivals Caps United at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday following the suspension of defence stalwart Elisha Muroiwa.
Muroiwa has been providing the leadership and influence at the back in the champions' bid for a record fifth successive championship.
But he will now miss the Harare derby after the PSL revealed in a statement on Thursday that the defender has been suspended for accumulating three yellow cards.
Muroiwa picked the yellow cards in matches against ZPC Kariba, Flame Lily and Highlanders.
Dynamos go into the match against the backdrop of a 2-1 defeat to Harare City in the Chibuku Super Cup final at the National Sports Stadium last Saturday.
DeMbare have fallen six points off the mark in the championship race.
Chicken Inn lead the standings with 53 points, FC Platinum are on second spot with 49 points while DeMbare are in third with 47 points and victory over Caps United could spark a dominant run that could give an interesting twist to the championship race.
It's more than just pride at stake to play against the Green Machine. There is still 12 points to play for and a win over their rivals could give them the much-needed confidence going into the remaining fixtures.
However, Caps United might be out of the championship matrix, but they fighting their own cause. They are building a team for the next campaign and have given themselves the target of a top-four finish this term.
After they were held 1-1 by Triangle at home on Sunday, they remained in sixth position on the league table with 38 points behind Triangle who are in fourth position with 39 points.
A win for Caps United would open a window of hope in their bid for a top-four finish. In the previous meeting the two teams could not be separated with the match ending in a 1-1 stalemate.
Malawi international defender George Nyirenda scored first for the Green Machine before Qadr Amin converted from the spot to level matters.

Impact of remittances for recovery and resilience through digital and financial inclusion
In 2021, migrants' remittance flows to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) reached US$540 billion, only 1.6 per cent below the US$548 billion seen in 2019, and are expected to recover in 2021.
In the offset of the crisis, over 200 million migrants defied predictions of the pandemic and continued to send money home to their over 800 family members in countries of origin, demonstrating once more an incredible resilience and the usual care for their families back home.
Migrants' digital and financial inclusion can contribute to maximise the vast potential of remittances and investments for the development of local and national economies, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
To recover and build resilience after the COVID-19 pandemic, and to achieve greater financial inclusion, new technologies have proven effective in increasing the use of regulated digital channels, but more needs to be done to increase their access and use, especially in rural areas where they count the most. The role of the private sector is paramount towards this global effort, to unlock opportunities for millions of people and provide them with more options.
Nevertheless, coherent public policies and priorities need to be put in place to support civil society and private sector initiatives.
This virtual Global Forum on Remittances, Investment and Development (eGFRID) webinar, hosted by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) within the framework of the Financial Inclusion Week, addressed the above challenges and present opportunities to promote greater digital and financial inclusion for migrants and their family members back home.
Following outcomes drawn at the recent GFRID Summit 2021, and through examples of initiatives on the ground and engagement in global processes, the webinar provided recommendations for governments, regulators, the remittance industry and the civil society, to expand access to digital remittance services and to fully exploit their development impact.
The webinar was part of the 2021 campaign to mark the UN International Day of Family Remittances (IDFR), observed each 16 June in recognition of the crucial contribution of migrant workers to the wellbeing of their families back home. The campaign focuses on the theme: "Recovery and resilience through digital and financial inclusion," to highlight best practices and lessons learned in response to the impact of COVID-19 on remittances.
The webinar saw the participation of renowned experts and practitioners from the field – from both public and private sectors – share their insights, experiences and lessons learned during this time of crisis.

One third of millennials can't afford to go to their friend's weddings
Bad news if you're tying the knot soon.
Because a lot of your mates won't be able to afford to attend it. Baby boomers really fucked us, didn't they?
These days, a wedding is more than just the actual day.
On top of the ceremony, meal, and abundance of drinks that come with it all, there's also the hen do, the stag do, the rehearsal dinner, the mandatory gals weekend away that's sort of like a hen do but for people the bride actually likes.
It's all going on, and while it all sounds absolutely delightful, fun, and necessary (it doesn't), the reality is that a lot of us simply can't afford it.
Hardly all that surprising when you consider your pay check, is it?
A new study conducted by UK house sharing site, SpareRoom, has shown that up to one third of millennials simply do not have the cash to be splashing out on a friend's big day.
In fact, it was those people who admitted that they had actually gotten themselves into debt by attempting to do so.
Honestly, not worth it, lads.
Respondents found that finding the perfect outfit came in as the biggest splurge (24 percent), followed by gifts (18 percent), accommodation (17 percent) and going to the hen or stag do (10 percent).
Richard Corrigan offering €90,000 wedding package prize for one Irish frontline healthcare worker
And yeah, we don't doubt any of the above at all, but if you're spending more money on a dress than you are on a hotel room we need to have a chat.
25 percent of people said that they missed their rent because of the money they spent on a wedding, with a massive 43 percent saying they lost a friend because they had to turn down an invite.
But sorry, who are these people with their painfully expensive weddings who are dropping their mates for not being able to afford a hen do in Beirut?
Honestly.

after much begging, my parents bought me an electric guitar for Christmas when I was 14. I took piano lessons when I was a kid, too.
You sang on Mercury's song "Sun Stoned", and sang like an angel. Why don't you sing more often?
It was very difficult to get me to sound ok on that. I don't sing well technically, so it requires studio pain to make it work. I'd rather be a drummer before a singer.
Who is your favorite guitar player, and why?
The edge. He comes up with great sounds, and his choice of parts is understated, simple, and completely right.
What band would you say suits your style of playing more: the prayer chain, cush, or the violet burning?
I think overall, it will be found that Cush does in the long run. But up until now, definitely the prayer chain.
What would you say is your favorite album you have worked on? Would you tell us some stories about working with different bands, i.e. the Autumns, Violets, Cush, etc. Whatever comes to mind.
I have favorite things about every band I've worked with. The autumns made captivating music, but were resistant to outside help. The ep's were all fun, the angel pool was more of an 'epic' undertaking. But they are still probably my favorite band of all time that I have worked with. The violet self-titled was a great experience, although those were very dark times, and represent quite a different era for me. I was allowed to rock more than I thought I would be, so it was cool in that way. But it isn't something that I initiated, just decorated. The first Cush album was a long time process, and saw the death of Gene Eugene right smack in the middle of it. That was a rough one on a lot of levels. Just trying to get people to get along and work for a common goal is enough, let alone trying to actually make something great. Mercury was the hardest ever, but the most rewarding. More recently, I truly enjoyed working on the Holly Nelson record. It was refreshing, fun, and required me to try and act like a pro instead of a schlep.
What music do you have in the works right now?
Right now I am finishing work on the All Things Bright and Beautiful release for Northern, and we have begun a Cush record which will be joined by another and a spiritual ep in the next month or two as well. I am playing live with Cush, the violets, and holly.
Give us an idea of the sound of the new Violets record? Did you contribute any other work to the album besides playing guitar?
I functioned as Michael's main partner in crime, giving him ideas, encouragement, insight, and criticisms that only The Doc can. I also recorded a fair amount of it and co-produced it with him. I ended up mixing it as well. I think my smallest role was as a guitar player. The thing sounds great in my opinion. More upbeat overall, and the mellow stuff is more refined and sorted out. I like it.
Can you tell us anything about the new Cush projects coming this year?
Not anything other than I hope to have 3-4 full-lengths done, 3 with boy singers and 1 with a girl singer. However, that could all change, because there are at least 2 other girl singers I want to do records with, so we'll see.
What is your role at Northern Records?
Besides causing trouble, I mainly am in charge of the music production.
What do you think of the Northern Message Board?
It's fun, I read it every day. You all like Wayne too much for your own good though. I celebrate Pee Wee's comments, as well.
The war. I rarely have time for recreational listening. The last record I bought was the new Missy Elliot album, which has a few decent tracks. My new favorite thing is Canary.
Where did you get the nickname "The Doc"?
Jason Martin gave it to me for fixing his guitar while we were on tour. He seemed amazed that a musician could also tech gear, so he said I was 'the doctor of rock'.
Thanks for all the support. Buy every northern recording. We are the then, the now, and the will be. Jesus loves you.

Capped ride-sharing services could support public transport
The Transport Opinion Survey (TOPS), which was carried out by the University of Sydney, measured public confidence in Australian transport infrastructure and services provided by local and national authorities
Thursday, April 16, 2020 9:12 PM - Sydney, Australia
Around half of all people living in major Australian cities would abandon their private cars if they could travel up to five kilometres to a public transport hub by rideshare or taxi for a capped fare of $5, according to a survey by the University of Sydney Business School.
The survey, conducted by the School's internationally respected Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies (ITLS) ahead of the COVID-19 pandemic in February, found that New South Wales motorists (51 per cent) were the most likely to use taxis and Uber to access public transport services.
Less than half of the respondents in the other states, particularly those in South Australia, ACT, Tasmania, and Northern Territory, were likely to accept a capped fare offer.
Director of the ITLS, Professor David Hensher, said the "encouraging" results were evidence of the role rideshare might play as a first and last kilometre service supporting mainstream public transport.
"It opens up a need for a dialogue with government as to whether a subsidy scheme for the first and last kilometre might more than compensate for the levels of subsidy for the main public transport service by increasing patronage as well as reducing congestion on our roads in the large cities," he said.
"However, there remains the challenge as to how such attractive incentives could work in practice."
The Transport Opinion Survey (TOPS) also surveyed motorists on those features of public transport they believed should be given priority when it came to improvement, including travel time, service frequency, fare, crowding and reliability.
On a scale from one to five, 36 per cent of participants deemed reliability the top priority for improvement, followed by crowding with 28 per cent, and then fare, service frequency and travel time at 26 per cent.
"Public transport authorities continue to be challenged in our largest cities where there is unprecedented growth in public transport use, with crowding a major concern during normal periods of activity, but sadly not so during the COVID-19 pandemic," said Professor Hensher.

Tag: CDSL IPO review
CDSL IPO: A Solid Issue coming on June 19th: Apply
What is CDSL?
Central Depository Services India Limited (CDSL) is a depository that holds securities in dematerialized form and facilitates trading and settlement of securities to be processed by book entry. It is the second largest central depository of securities in India, based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The depository began its operations in February 1999. It is promoted by Bombay Stock Exchange in association with prominent banks of the nation, i.e. State Bank of India, Union Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Standard Chartered Bank, etc…
CDSL also offers facilities to issuers to credit securities to a shareholder's or applicant's demat accounts; Know your customer(KYC) services in respect of investors in capital markets to capital market intermediaries; and facilities to allow holding of insurance policies in electronic form to the holders of these insurance policies of various insurance companies. The primary competitor of CDSL is NSDL(National Securities Depository Ltd).
NSDL, the first and largest depository in India, established in August 1996 and promoted by institutions of national stature responsible for economic development of the country has since established a national infrastructure of international standards that handles most of the securities held and settled in dematerialized form in the Indian capital market.
CDSL IS OFFERING IPO:
CDSL is the first mover for IPO in the depository segment. After the blockbuster debut at premium of 35%, BSE had astonished the markets in early months of 2017. Now, investors are bracing themselves for the much-awaited initial public offering (IPO) of BSE promoted Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL). CDSL would be the first depository in the country to get listed on the Indian bourses.
Market speculates that the CDSL IPO may have price band of Rs 145 to Rs 149 per share to rise around Rs 520 cr. The IPO is expected to open on June 19.
The depository is seeking valuations of around Rs 1,500 crore and BSE's stake in the company is likely to come down to 24% from current holding of 50%, according to sources quoted by a leading national news agency.

The Calcutta Stock Exchange, which holds 0.96%, will cease to be a shareholder after the IPO. The net offer would constitute 32.98%of CDSL's post offer paid up equity share capital.
CDSL FINANCIAL GROWTH:

Total 120.7 124 122.8 127.2 139.4

Net margin 45.8 40.2 40.1 34.4 53.2
Stock trading in India is still considered niche and risky by a large portion of investing public, including people who end up investing in stock markets indirectly through mutual funds. However, the scenario is changing gradually and this is a big positive for players like CDSL. The company has seen its revenues grow over time and even though the top line growth has not been high, it is steady. A graphical illustration of revenue growth for CDSL.
CDSL's consolidated financial performance (in INR crore)
Stocks trading were not considered a good thing in the recent past in India, but currently the number of investors investing in stocks has increased gradually through direct means or through indirect means by investing in mutual funds. This is a very positive sign to invest in CDSL.
CDSL has around 42% market share and it is also increasing day by day.
The company has seen its revenues grow at a CAGR of 3.67% over the past four years with the revenue in FY2016 being Rs 139.4 crore.
At Rs. 149 per share, company's market cap will be Rs. 1,557 crore, with EV of Rs. 1,009 crore. This translates into EV/EBITDA multiple of 8.4x and 7.3x based on FY17 and FY18E earnings, and a PE multiple of 18x and 17x respectively, which is not expensive. Since there are no listed peers, relative valuation comparison cannot be done. However, on 14th Oct 2016, BSE sold 43.37 lakh equity shares representing 4.15% stake in the company to LIC at Rs. 79 per share. Upper end of Rs. 149 is 89% jump in sale price, in barely 8 months, despite the seller being the same, and FY17 profit growing only in double digit (and not doubling) during this period. While current IPO pricing is a steep premium to last transaction price, based on company's steady growth and strong fundamentals, IPO valuations, nevertheless, appear fair.
CDSL has paid dividends regularly to its shareholders in the last four years and considering that BSE will continue to remain the biggest shareholder; this policy is unlikely to change anytime soon. Out of the Rs 74.1 crore, it earned last year, CDSL paid a total of Rs 31.4 crore in the form of dividends. CDSL paid a dividend at the rate of 25% (Rs 2.5 per share) and this was up from 22% in FY2015.
So even if the market share is 42%, there are only two entities providing the same service. In the near future, CDSL will definitely try to capture more market share.
It is a known fact that less than 2% invest directly in stock markets through demat accounts. Compare that with double digits in developed economies such as US, UK and China. This poses a great opportunity for this sector since more people will open demat accounts and CDSL/NSDL will get more business. It is safe to say that the party is just getting started for these 2 businesses.
Also since CDSL is the first one to list, it is set to get a first mover advantage as experience by BSE when it listed.

Sony rumored to have severed ties with Dr. Luke amidst Kesha legal battle
Producer-to-the-stars has been reportedly removed as CEO of Sony's Kemosabe imprint
Amidst a much-publicized legal battle with Kesha, producer Dr. Luke's business ties with Sony look to be on very shaky ground this week.
Entertainment Weekly claims that the musician born Lukasz Gottwald "still has a relationship" with the major label, where he's helped to roll out hits for the likes of Katy Perry and Kelly Clarkson. However, a conflicting report from The Hollywood Reporter says that the producer-to-the-stars has been removed as CEO of Sony's Kemosabe imprint and "no longer has the authority" to act on its behalf. It appears a Sony website dedicated to Gottwald's work has also been taken down.
Rumors that Sony would be dropping Gottwald had surfaced in March 2016, around the time his legal issues with Kesha were coming to a head. Their messy court battle dates back to 2014, when Kesha first filed a lawsuit claiming Gottwald had been physically and sexually abusing her since signing a deal with his Kemosabe Records in 2005.
Gottwald maintained his innocence and filed a defamation suit of his own against the pop star, accusing her of extortion (he argued Kesha was suing him in order to get out of her record contract early). Since Kesha's accusations were made public, fans and musicians — including Adele, Lady Gaga, and Demi Lovato — have come to her aid as part of the #FreeKesha movement.
Despite the widespread public support, Kesha has suffered countless setbacks in the courts. Multiple rulings have come down stating that she is prohibited from breaking her contract and severing ties with Gottwald and Sony. Another judge ruled that Gottwald's alleged abuse doesn't constitute as a "hate crime."
Neither Kesha nor Sony and Gottwald have issued official statements on the matter.

Where in the world is Palmer Luckey? Well, he's not at Facebook.
In 2014, Palmer Luckey, the 24-year-old whiz kid who was one of VR's most prominent evangelists sold his company, Oculus, to Facebook for a cool $2 billion. He has (almost) totally disappeared since The Daily Beast revealed last year he was collaborating with Milo Yiannopoulos to fund a pro-Trump "shitposting" operation.
Palmer recently testified in an intellectual property lawsuit that alleged he was complicit in the theft of trade secrets from ZeniMax. Facebook was ordered to pay ZeniMax $500 million, and is currently appealing the ruling. The lawsuit questioned Luckey and Oculus's origin story—that Luckey built the Oculus in his parent's garage—and said that Oculus used technology built by former a ZeniMax employee who is now CTO at Oculus, John Carmack.
Luckey's fall from grace has been slow and painful. He was featured on the cover of Time following his big sale to Facebook. Today's departure comes almost exactly a year after the launch of the first consumer version of the Oculus Rift headset. In the time since, he's completely disappeared. Recently, Facebook said the Luckey would be transitioning to a new role in the company. Today's news confirms what should've been clear six months ago: Luckey's days were numbered.

Trondheim Soloists () are a musical chamber ensemble of string players based in Trondheim, Norway. The ensemble was founded in 1988 and has been an arena for professional concert training for string-players at the Music Conservatory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

Recordings
Trondheim Soloist's discography includes over twenty recordings. The Trondheim Soloists have recorded 6 CDs including Vivaldi's ''Four Seasons'' and all of the music for strings by Edvard Grieg. The French Diapason d'Or was awarded the orchestra for its recording of Grieg's String Quartet No. 1 in G minor. Cellist Øyvind Gimse was appointed as artistic director in 2002.

Their performing style has been described as a hybrid between modern techniques and period ideas: they use baroque bows but on metal stringed instruments. The latest release, Divertimenti (2L, 2008), featuring pieces by Benjamin Britten and Béla Bartók, also marks the first ever audio-only release on Blu-ray technology. The record was later nominated for three Grammy awards.

Collaborations
Trondheim Soloists collaborates regularly with professional soloists such as Ben Caplan, Leif Ove Andsnes, Martin Fröst, Joshua Bell, Ole Edvard Antonsen, and Arve Tellefsen. Trondheim Soloists are perhaps mostly known for their extensive collaboration with German classical violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter. This collaboration has resulted in recordings of pieces by Vivaldi (Deutsche Grammophon, 1999) and Bach (Deutsche Grammophon, 2008). The Bach album made its debut on the Billboard "Top Classical Albums" chart in the No. 1 position in October 2008, and remained in the top five for five weeks. The collaboration with Mutter has also included touring. In November 2001, the Trondheim Soloists made their Carnegie Hall debut alongside Mutter

I am a Tamil woman living in Pune, Maharashtra. The recent release of the south superstar Rajni's Kabali had me in a fit of happiness and excitement. As, I sat there in my office gushing about the movie, all my co-workers, Marathi, were all eager to express that he was from "theirs, from Maharashtra". Each and every single person pointed that he is Marathi. I replied, yes, but he is ours now. He became a superstar in my city, Chennai. But they would not relent because he was originally, "Marathi".
I sat there wondering about the person from, yes Maharashtra, who got to be so famous that he is known worldwide, today. I started wondering about regional film actors and this got me thinking of Marathi films. Now, even though I rarely watch films, with the exception of Rajnikanth's films, I have heard about the Marathi movie, Sairat. Now, if you live in Maharashtra, I am sure you have heard about his movie and have even seen it. A movie that has been accepted by non-Marathi speaking audiences and English audiences alike.
Superstars such as Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, might be able to pull audiences into the theater, simply because it is their film, but even then their movies have been known to flop. While audiences love your regular masala films with lots of drama and sentiments, the people have evolved, just as cinemas. When people go to the movies they want to see a heart wrenching and beautifully told story. It is movies, with beautiful stories such as, Sairat, that have people flocking to see it, whether you speak the language or not. So, it isn't a question of why people aren't seeing Marathi films, but rather how can the film industry create such great stories, that it breaks through the language barrier and gains its success and popularity amongst non-speakers as well. At the end of the day, you don't want just the regional language people watching the film, but people from all over India and beyond to want to see the movie that everybody is talking about. So, forget about making masala movies and start making movies that capture human emotions and sentiments realistically and it won't matter if the movie is Marathi, Hindi, or Telugu. The people will come and they will see it and love it, just like Sairat.
