Longtime Nashville resident gets to meet Texas A&M coach
Mike Organ
USA TODAY NETWORK - Tennessee
Nashville resident Sam Brown came up with an idea in February to surprise his father-in-law when the SEC Tournament came to town.
Brown had watched a television interview with Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy when it was mentioned that Kennedy attended Holy Cross School in New Orleans. Brown's father-in-law, Gene Stangline, also attended Holy Cross.
Stangline, 89, grew up in Nashville but graduated from Holy Cross in 1945. Kennedy graduated in 1982.
"I told my father-in-law about this and he was excited and thought how awesome it would be if he could ever meet Coach Kennedy and talk about the old school," Brown said.
Unbeknownst to Stangline, Brown called the Texas A&M basketball office to see if a meeting could be arranged.
"I knew the SEC Tournament would be coming up in Nashville, so I spoke to one of the secretaries, told her about my father-in-law, and asked if there was any way he could meet Coach Kennedy," Brown said. "She said something could possibly be worked out, but she wasn't sure."
Texas A&M opened the tournament against Vanderbilt on Thursday night.
On Wednesday, Brown was caught a bit off guard when Kennedy's secretary called him.
"She said Coach Kennedy would be happy to meet Gene," Brown said. "She said they were staying at the Renaissance Hotel in Nashville and he had a window of about three hours that he could meet with Gene."
Brown, his wife and Stangline's daughter Bridgett and Stangline headed to the Renaissance and met Kennedy and his wife in the lobby.
"Coach Kennedy introduced Gene to his wife and said, 'This is Gene. He is a Holy Cross graduate. He graduated a couple of years after me,' and then he laughed," Brown said.
Kennedy and Stangline then visited for about 30 minutes.
"Meeting and talking with Coach Kennedy was one of those things I will always remember," Stangline said. "Getting the chance to sit down with him and talk about the old school brought back so many fond memories, and it was such a thrill for me."

The Bodyguard Blanket was designed to protect against the weapons commonly used in school shootings, and as a protective body cover in weather events.
ProTecht, an Oklahoma-based company which manufactures protective products for individuals operating in a number of different environments, has unveiled the new Bodyguard Blanket. Watch the videos below to learn more about this new product.
According to the official website, the Bodyguard Blanket was specifically designed for two functions: as a bullet resistant body cover to protect an individual against the weapons commonly used in school shootings, and as a protective body cover to be utilized during tornadoes and other dangerous weather events.
The Bodyguard blanket is made of two advanced ballistic materials that provide a level of protection consistent with Level IIIA armor, which is the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standard used for law enforcement body armor in the United States. The company says it has conducted extensive research which shows that the Bodyguard Blanket protects against 90% of weapons used in school shootings in the United States. The blanket absorbs the bullet's energy, which lessens blunt force trauma to the body. Laboratory testing by ProTecht revealed that the Bodyguard Blanket is capable of absorbing approximately 490 – 660 joules of energy, or 361-486 foot pound force. As the bullet enters the blanket, it "catches" and deforms the bullet within the blanket's layers.
This blanket can also be used for protection against dangerous weather events. According to ProTecht, the blanket is capable of resisting penetration of flying debris moving in excess of 200mph, a feat achieved by material properties which can withstand even the strongest rotating tornado winds. The company recommends using the blanket when a shelter is not available. The orange color makes it ideal for search and rescue operations.
The Bodyguard Blanket by ProTecht is thin and lightweight, allowing for a quick-fit during emergencies. It is available in three different sizes: Small, Medium and Large, which means it can be easily fastened around a child or an adult.

Reasons to Eat More Blueberries
Published on 1 January 2020 under Whole Body Health
Not only are blueberries delicious and easily attainable at the supermarket but they are also incredibly good for you. But don't take our word for it, let's look at what researchers say…
A 2019 review looked at findings from eleven studies that involved blueberry interventions. The researchers found that blueberries benefit memory and executive function in both children and adults, and blueberries can improve psychomotor function in seniors, including those with mild-cognitive impairment. The authors also reported that blueberry intake reduces risks for developing metabolic syndrome (heart disease, stroke, and type-2 diabetes), cancer, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline.
In a 2018 study involving 215 older adults, researchers observed that those with the greatest cognitive impairments who consumed a daily 600mg polyphenol-rich grape and blueberry extract for six months experienced significant improvements with respect to episodic memory.
Not only are blueberries low in calories (only 84 calories per cup) but just one cup of blueberries contains four grams of fiber, 24% of the recommended daily allowance (RDI) of vitamin C, 36% of the RDI of vitamin K, and 25% of the RDI of manganese.
Blueberries are antioxidant rich, which can protect the body from the free radicals that are known to damage cells and contribute to aging and diseases, like cancer. These antioxidants can also reduce oxidization of LDL ("bad") cholesterol, which is a risk factor for heart disease.
There is research that suggests regular blueberry intake is associated with lower blood pressure and a reduced risk for heart attack.
Blueberries can improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism—both of which can reduce the risk for diabetes and may even benefit diabetics.
Much like cranberries, blueberries contain anti-adhesive substances that can help keep bacteria from sticking around in the bladder and causing a urinary tract infection.
If you regularly exercise (you do, don't you?), then the good news is that blueberries may reduce soreness and aid in muscle recovery following a strenuous workout.
BOTTOM LINE: Eat blueberries!

DNR says black bear spotted near DeWitt Township not a public safety concern
WKAR Public Media | By Genevieve Fox
Pete Nuij
A black bear pictured in British Columbia, Canada in August of 2020.
Officials with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources say a black bear spotted near DeWitt Township poses little threat to the community.
The bear was last reported on Wednesday, June 8th, west of DeWitt. The DNR says the bear appears to be a young male exploring a new area, but that it should return in a couple of weeks to its home up north. Michigan DNR Wildlife Outreach Coordinator Rachel Leightner said there are no public safety concerns at this time.
"All the reports that we've received of this bear, it is still very much afraid of people, it's fleeing when people are in the area," Leightner said. "We've received no reports of it acting aggressively towards pets or people."
Leightner said the bear's first instinct when interacting with people is to flee. To keep yourself safe if you happen to come across the bear is by making loud noises like clapping your hands and then slowly backing away from the bear.
"What this does is it gives the bear plenty of space to flee. What you don't want is for the bear to feel like it's been trapped," she said.
Black bears entering fewer rural areas is becoming more common, Leightner said.
"Ten years ago it might have been really unusual to see black bears in mid-Michigan or moving into southern Michigan, but the northern lower has had great success in growing their bear population," she said.
In recent years, a trend of black bears coming into the Lansing, Saginaw, and Grand Rapids areas has increased, Leightner said.
A reason for this movement of bears coming into urban areas is a supply of supplemental food sources, she said.
"In our backyards, we might not think we have any food out for a bear but we could have birdfeeders and pet foods," Leightner said. "Even things like grills and patio furniture that have food debris on them could attract bears."
In a Facebook post, DeWitt Charter Township said people are encouraged to take down their bird feeders and store their garbage inside. They don't want the bear accustomed to finding easy food sources near homes.

Mango on Main bringing Bangkok-style street food to Napa
By Carey Sweet on December 13, 2013 at 11:00 AM
Mini Mango offers specialties like salmon with pumpkin curry sauce
Mini Mango Thai Bistro, meet your big sister.
Mango on Main will be opening early next year as a larger location of the popular Asian eatery. Set on Main and Pearl streets in Napa, it will be less than half-a-mile from the original spot on Clay Street and Sam Lane.
Since Mini Mango opened in December of 2009, it's been a hot spot for diners craving affordable Thai food focusing on recipes from chef-owner Anchalee Chitamnauyothin's mother and grandmother. But indeed, the space is miniature, tricked up in gorgeous teak but with only 10 tables inside and a handful outside.
So while the Mini location is staying put, the new Main operation will branch out to 1,500 square feet, taking over the space that was formerly Annalien Vietnamese, and more recently, Cielito Lindo Mexican restaurant.
The menu will be bigger, too, offering Bangkok street food and Southeast Asian cuisine, paired with wines and beers.
"We're modeled on the hawker dining of Bangkok and southeast Asian food-cart cultures with noodles soup styles and a shared-eating concept," said Chitamnauyothin, who will oversee both restaurant kitchens with her husband Mee Pengchareon. "All our sauces, pastes and relishes are made in-house, with recipes combining traditional dishes with contemporary tastes."
By contemporary, Chitamnauyothin explained she means updated cooking techniques, an emphasis on local produce and humanely raised meats, and "healthy alternative" ingredients imported from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Japan.
She's got a good team signed up, starting with her own credentials. Born and raised in Bangkok, she earned an MBA from Armstrong University in Georgia, then went on study at Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco. She has worked as a personal chef, and at Aqua, Sushi Ran, and E&O Trading Co., and at her own eatery for seven years, the former Signature Thai restaurant in San Rafael.
Because of the casual, snack-style dining concept, service will be walk-in only (no reservations).
For the moment, though, it's a case of hurry-up-and-wait for bowls of steaming noodles, rice creations and so on.
"Right now we are in the processing of remodel the kitchen hood and the dining room," Chitamnauyothin said. "So we're waiting for the architect to submit the plans."

Bio je najmlađi sin kralja Konstantina I. iz danske dinastije Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, ogranka dinastije Oldenburg.

Životopis

Napustio je Grčku 1917. godine nakon abdikacije oca Konstantina I. Poslije smrti starijeg brata Aleksandra 1920. godine odbio je prihvatiti krunu, no vratio se u domovinu po vraćanju oca na prijestolje. Porastom republikanskih osjećaja, napustio je zemlju 1923. godine i vratio se 1935. godine kada je njegov stariji brat Đuro II. vraćen na prijestolje.

Po izbijanju Drugog svjetskog rata u Grčkoj 1941. godine, napustio je zemlju i većinom je živio u Kairu i južnoj Africi. Nakon rata vratio se u zemlju, naslijedio brata na prijestolju 1947. godine i sudjelovao u gušenju komunističke pobune tijekom građanskog rata.

The road to becoming a Fellow in the Inclusion and Philanthropy program was no easy feat. Being able to complete the academic part of the program was quite doable as information flowed left right and centre, however, achieving the tangibles (actual outcomes) required the guidance of a mentor to develop the professional muscles needed to succeed.
Through the mentoring aspect of the AFP's Fellowship program, I started out timidly trying not to ask too many questions or to take up too much of my mentor's time. She soon put me at ease by having a good understanding of my goals and objectives. She answered questions, gave pointers, made suggestions on developing strengths and overcoming weaknesses, and lead me to greater networking.

Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones announced today that he has made the decision to retire at the end of the upcoming 2012 Major League Baseball season. The Braves and Jones have expressed interest in rejoining the organization in a yet-to-be-determined capacity after 2012.
The No. 1 selection in the 1990 Major League Draft, Jones has played his entire career in the Braves organization. He currently leads all active players with 18 years of service with the same Club (Derek Jeter, 17-NYY; Mariano Rivera, 17-NYY; Todd Helton, 15-COL).
Since the Braves moved to Atlanta in 1966, Jones ranks as the franchise leader in nearly every offensive category. He owns a .304 career batting average, with 454 home runs, 526 doubles and 1,561 RBIs in 2,387 games. Jones and Anaheim Angels first baseman Albert Pujols are the only two active players to hit at least 400 career homers and still have more walks than strikeouts (Jones has 1,455 walks and 1,358 strikeouts).
Jones finished second in the National League Rookie of the Year voting in 1995 and went on to earn the league's Most Valuable Player Award in 1999. He has been named to seven N.L. All-Star teams and has been voted into the Game as a starter four times, most recently in 2008. He played for the United States team in the first two editions of the World Baseball Classic in 2006 and 2009.
He won his first career batting title in 2008, with a .364 average. It marked the second-highest single-season average ever for a switch hitter. Mickey Mantle hit .365 for the New York Yankees in 1957.
Jones is the only switch hitter in Major League history to post a .300 career average with more than 300 homers, and his career batting average ranks second all-time among switch hitters. Hall-of-Famer Frankie Frisch batted .316. Jones' home run total ranks third among all switch hitters, behind Hall-of-Famers Mantle (536) and Eddie Murray (504).

NC State comes up short against UNC, 90-82
By Steven Muma@akulawolf Jan 8, 2019, 11:25pm EST
Share All sharing options for: NC State comes up short against UNC, 90-82
North Carolina set the tone on Tuesday night with a 12-0 run to put NC State in some bad shape right out of the gate, and the Wolfpack had to play catch-up all night. The Pack made its runs, but the Tar Heels had a response every time, and closed it out with the 90-82 win.
Not surprisingly, UNC's rebounding advantage was again part of the story of another NC State loss in this series. The Tar Heels rebounded about 38% of their own misses while holding State to an offensive rebounding percentage south of 22.0.
Couple that with a UNC shooting advantage across the board, and not even a +10 turnover margin was enough to rescue the Pack tonight.
It's frustrating to watch the same results play out seemingly over and over, but I don't know what do other than shrug at this point. NC State was not at its best, and Carolina never seems to have an off game at PNC Arena.
Markell Johnson and Torin Dorn finished a combined 1-11 from three, and Markell in particular struggled overall, hitting only a third of his field goal attempts. It's tough when those guys aren't able to lead the charge and play efficiently. Your best players need to perform like your best players in big games. Alas.
Braxton Beverly led a heroic effort to salvage State's perimeter offense, but there was only so much he could do, and State ended up finishing 8-28 from outside. The Heels, on the other hand, were 10-25 from three and also hit 22 of 26 free throw attempts. They were the more opportunistic team. Alas.

Opinion | Jennifer C. Braceras
Democrats cry 'wolf' on collusion and cover-ups
By Jennifer C. BracerasMarch 26, 2019, 5:48 p.m.
President Trump winks during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office at the White House on Monday. (Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images)
The Mueller investigation is over. According to a summary of Mueller's report from Attorney General William Barr, we now know that Donald Trump's presidential campaign did not conspire with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
The findings come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to the indictments issued and the plea agreements already entered.
The Mueller team indicted 13 Russians for attempting to tamper with our election.
Not one of these Russians was alleged to have conspired with anyone connected with the Trump campaign.
The Mueller team also indicted various Trump associates for personal crimes unrelated to election tampering. Michael Flynn, for example, was indicted for failure to register as a foreign agent; Paul Manafort for bank fraud; Roger Stone for lying to Congress. None of these men were charged in connection with Russian hacking. None were charged with taking part in a conspiracy to violate our election laws for the benefit of the Trump campaign.
Had there existed a criminal conspiracy to steal the election, surely these indictments would have included such charges. But they did not. So it should come as no surprise that Mueller now says he did not find evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.
The truth is, "collusion" was always a myth, spun by the sore losers of the 2016 presidential election in an attempt to explain away results that seemed unfathomable to the coastal elite.
Yes, Russia tried to influence the 2016 election (on President Obama's watch, mind you) — just as Russia has tried to influence American elections since the Cold War began. In 1968, for example, the Soviets offered to help fund Democratic Senator Hubert Humphrey's campaign against the anti-Communist Richard Nixon. And in 1976, the KGB attempted to discredit Democratic Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson" by sending forged FBI letters claiming that Jackson was gay.
Although Russia may, at times, prefer one US candidate over another, the primary goal of Russian interference in 2016 was to sow the seeds of discord and distrust among the American people. Conspiracy theories, spun by people suffering from Trump derangement syndrome, only aided and abetted our enemies.
Of course, none of this means that the president and his family are out of legal jeopardy. Investigations into allegations of personal corruption in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere may yet bear fruit. But we must now put to rest the spurious notion that Trump was some sort of Manchurian candidate or that he is an illegitimate president.
Indeed, Americans of all political stripes should welcome the news that nobody in the Trump campaign coordinated with the Russian government in their efforts to influence the election. This is good news for democracy.
And yet, sadly, Democratic politicians seem disappointed by Barr's report on the investigation's conclusions and unwilling to accept the truth. Instead they continue to spin conspiratorial yarns, suggesting that the attorney general is hiding something, when he has made it crystal clear that he intends to release as much of the report as permitted by law.
Thus, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tweets that the "American people deserve the truth." And Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts demands that the attorney general "make the full report public. Immediately." Surely Warren knows that it is a criminal offense for the government to release grand jury material and that it will take time to make the necessary redactions. But that won't stop Warren from political grandstanding.
As for the obstruction issue: We all know about the Comey firing and the president's unnecessarily obnoxious tweets. But remember that Democrats and Republicans alike recommended that Comey be fired. And tweets criticizing an investigation (particularly one that ultimately finds no merit to the underlying claims) hardly demonstrate corrupt intent, the legal standard for obstruction of justice. More likely, they suggest a man firmly convinced of his innocence.
So although Mueller did not take a position on whether the president committed obstruction of justice, the public is unlikely to conclude that he did. And, absent an indictment, that is really all that matters. With respect to collusion, we are now beyond the reach of law enforcement. From this point forward, any talk of a sinister plot between Trump and the Russians to alter what otherwise would have been a Hillary Clinton victory is just political paranoia.
There is much about Trump for the Democrats to criticize. But by fomenting conspiracy theories about collusion and cover-ups, Democrats have ceded the moral high ground and lost all credibility in the process.

Using Node.js, we can create web applications easily. Now, thanks to the node-webkit we can also create desktop apps with it, using a unique combination of HTML5 and Node.
The library combines WebKit engine and Node.js in a unique way. Both WebKit and Node share the same context, allowing you to write your code like it's meant to be executed in a browser, but with the addition of all Node's features.
The list of uses is endless. You can create business apps, text and image editors, games, presentations, admin panels, etc. Just name the desktop app that you would like to create, and I can assure you that it will be possible with node-webkit.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to get started by showing you how to create a simple text editor.
Now the only thing that will change when you open the app will be the title.
As you can see, the code looks exactly the same as if you were writing it for Node. But then we use document.write to put the file contents on the page. No need to setup any local server.
As you can see this will be a static class with two public methods – one for opening the files and one for saving them.
Pretty simple right? The function accepts the path to the file as the first parameter and puts the file's contents into the element with an id of "editor". We also need to pass the document object to the function because the script is called using Node's require and it doesn't have access to the WebKit stuff directly.
Now if you go to the developer tools console and click the developer refresh button in the right corner of the window you should see the two functions from this module logged. This is another useful thing in node-webkit – your console.log calls are being displayed in the developer tools console, so it's easier to debug your apps.
This code is responsible for showing the Open and Save dialogs. The clickInput function does the main job here – it simulates the click event on the input element – in a normal browser, this would be impossible from security reasons, but here it's not a security threat at all. Later, there is a normal keyup event handler that checks if the proper key combination was pressed (Ctrl+O or Ctrl+S) and "clicks" on the inputs. Note that this would also be impossible to achieve in a browser – combinations like Ctrl+O and Ctrl+S are reserved for the browser's internal use and no event fires when they are pressed (only Firefox fires events for them).
Now press the developer refresh button and you should see the appropriate dialog when you press Ctrl+S or Ctrl+O. They of course do nothing for now.
Thanks to the module created earlier, the code is really simple. This is also possible thanks to node-webkit, because in browsers (again for security reasons) the value of the file input element is set to a fake path – here it's the path which was selected. Now open the app (or press the developer refresh button, if you didn't closed it) and you should have a perfectly working text editor.
And viola! If you refresh the app, now you can press Ctrl+N to open a new window. This function does differ from the normal window.open though. You can pass various window options as the second parameter. The list of what you can set there is available in the documentation.
menu.items is the first item of our application menu (you can also assign it to a variable when creating it if you want to). We are appending new items to its submenu, and each item gets a click callback to handle the click on it. The gui.Window.get method gets the current window, so we can close it when the user selects the Close option in the File menu.
Again, we are using gui.Window.get to get the current window, then we are assigning our menu to its menu property. Please note, that even though we can assign a different menu to every window, on OSX (Mac) one app can only have one menu (which is global for all windows), so if you want your app to be used on Macs, you should avoid using different menus on different windows.
Packaging the app is pretty simple. Just create a .zip archive with all your assets (all of the files you created, without the files supplied with node-webkit) and change its extension to .nw. That's all. If a user downloads node-webkit and your package, they only need to put it in the node-webkit's directory and run the nw executable. Detailed descriptions, with a few more tips, are available on the node-webkit's github.
Now your editor is ready to be shipped to your users.
As you can see, node-webkit is a very promising and powerful library. With frequent updates and fixes, and being supported by Intel, there's almost no chance that it will be discontinued, which can sometimes happen with open source projects.
Share your thoughts about this project in the comments below. I personally think it's the best thing out there if you want to create a desktop application using Node.js and HTML.

Q: Memory leak when load PDF into UIWebView - (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.webView.delegate = self;
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Abtretung" ofType:@"pdf"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [self.webView loadRequest:request];
}

On the simulator it's ok but on devices have memory leak.

How can we explain the complexities of Upendra Baxi's lifework? He is committed to activism yet is attached to complex theorising; he is committed to the Global South yet has a deep engagement with Northern thinking; he makes a trenchant critique of human rights and law while asserting the importance of human rights and the rule of law; he is committed to human social justice while asserting the importance of climate justice. This article explores Baxi's approach to the relationship between activism and theory, to constitutionalism and the rule of law, to human rights and to climate justice and suggests that any perplexity is resolved through his commitment to giving voice to and alleviating the plight of the impoverished, the disempowered, the suffering, and the rightless in his native India and elsewhere.


EU quotas are being abolished and new dairy markets are opening up in China and India. The global dairy landscape is changing and in a few years for some it will be unrecognisable.
At Alltech's Global 500, taking place in Dublin this October, dairy farmers and producers who want to prepare and profit from these changes can preview this future marketplace and the new strategies required to succeed.
According to the organisers, more than two million cattle will be represented by the leading global farmers who have already registered for this year's Global 500 event, held outside of the US for the first time.
Speakers, including representatives from Rabobank and European dairy farmers will provide a roadmap for where they think the dairy industry will be in five to 10 years. Sessions will be interactive, allowing international voices to colour the dialogue. There will also be a discussion forum each day to allow attendees to delve deeper into the topics covered and to get international perspectives on local issues.
"It's not just about supply and demand, it's about predicting where that demand will be and making sure that we can meet it. The world is opening up to dairy and it's no longer enough to react; proactive production is the only way to keep up with and profit from this changing landscape," said Dr Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech.
Global 500 offers a unique forum to talk about the challenges faced on-farm, while offering an international perspective. Alltech is well-positioned to draw together a global panel of experts whose knowledge of the agri-food industry is second-to-none, allowing attendees to emerge from Global 500 fully informed and ready to succeed as entrepreneurs.
Last year's Global 500 saw more than 700 delegates from 30 countries come to Lexington, Kentucky and this year Alltech hopes to top that as part of The Gathering Ireland, an initiative aimed at showcasing Ireland's potential to the world through various national events. Early-bird registration is open until the 24th of September 2013. For event details and online registration visit Alltech's website.
Pictured Orla McAleer, European marketing manager for Alltech, and Dr Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech, together at the launch of Global 500, taking place 1-3 October in the RDS, Dublin. 2013 will mark the first year that the international beef and dairy conference will set foot outside of the US, in conjunction with The Gathering Ireland.


Researching the company through an online Google search is not sufficient. Speak to employees, attend networking events, reach out to whoever you can to strengthen your knowledge, and tie that knowledge back to your own experience.
This is one of the hardest questions you will probably ever encounter. The best way to answer this question is to prepare – know what you have done, what you have learned from your past experiences, and how those things have contributed to the person you are today. How do your past experiences make you unique and interesting?
One of the best ways to master anything is to practice. This still holds true for the behavioural interview. Practice with family and friends to get comfortable with the interview format.
Think of the interview as a conversation. Be yourself and let your talents shine.
Overall, I found these tips to be helpful when I was preparing for my interview. Keep these points in mind as you prepare for recruitment in September.

BCCI On Mohammad Shami Match-Fixing Scandal!
From the past few days, Hasin Jahan, wife of Indian pacer Mohammad Shami has been alleging her husband on various fronts. She spoke about Shami's extramarital affairs, illicit relationships, domestic violence, match-fixing scandals, and even allegations that he forced her to fulfil sexual desires of his brother.
Hasin Jahan spoke to the BCCI heads about the match-fixing scandal. After a preliminary investigation, the BCCI confirmed that the allegations over Mohammad Shami involving in match fixing are absolutely false.
'We did not find any evidence that proves or suggests that Mohammad Shami is involved in match-fixing. BCCI will continue his Grade-B contract', said a BCCI official. It will be interesting to see how Hasin Jahan will respond to the latest comments from the BCCI.
Meanwhile, her close friends who have been in support of her, during this entire episode claim that, Mohammad Shami managed to turn things on his side. With Shami and his wife meeting Mamata Banerjee (separately), we have to wait and see whether this case will go to the court, or the couple will come to a compromise.

Progressive, humanitarian, understanding, willing to help the poor, willing to pay for its citizens' education and healthcare, not afraid to tax the rich, not afraid to legislate worker's rights, willing to maintain and/or modernize the infrastructure.
A country that has a democratic political system, a relatively developed economy, and enforces fundamental human rights.
Close to a developed country, but still a shithole.
In the ballpark, but still not a home run.
I would write it as "first-world country" I have never previously seen that expression used as an adjective. A "first-world country" is one with an advanced economy and advanced political system, and advanced social system and similar manifestations of "grown up " living.
So in using "very first-world country" adjectivally presumably the writer was saying that the item or habits referred to are those of an advanced country, not those of a "developing country" or (in older, less politically-correct parlance) a "third-world country" such as SOME of those in Africa and Asia.
Used to mean the USA.
Having a national health service.
"More than half a century ago, the Cold War was just starting. It was Western capitalism versus Soviet socialism. But there was another group of countries. Many of them were former colonies. None of them were squarely in either the Western or the Soviet camp. Thinking of these three factions, French demographer Alfred Sauvy wrote of "Three worlds, one planet" in an article published in L'Observateur in 1952.
The First World consisted of the U.S., Western Europe and their allies. The Second World was the so-called Communist Bloc: the Soviet Union, China, Cuba and friends. The remaining nations, which aligned with neither group, were assigned to the Third World."
Now those countries formerly referred to as "third world" are called developing countries. The US has fallen so far in global power and prestige that it can no longer be referred to as "first world," and its alliances are now unstable or shifting. And the Communist bloc no longer exists. So the terminology is obsolete, except for Cold War history.
