Sports ministry urges IOA to give accreditation to Lovlina's coach
IndiaTop News
Guwahati: The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has swung into action after Olympic medal-winning pugilist Lovlina Borgohain alleged mental harassment in the lead-up to the Commonwealth Games.
Soon after Lovlina alleged on social media that she was experiencing mental harassment due to the absence of her coaches, the Sports Ministry stepped into action by posting a tweet in response to it.
The tweet stated that it has urged the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to immediately arrange for the accreditation of the coach of Lovlina Borgohain.
The ministry issued the update on their official Twitter account, saying, "We have urged the Indian Olympic Association to immediately arrange for the accreditation of the coach of Lovlina Borgohain" unquote.
Tokyo Olympics medalist Lovlina Borgohain yesterday alleged mental harassment in the lead-up to the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Lovlina said one of her coaches has been denied entry to the Commonwealth Games Village while another one has been sent home. The celebrated boxer said she had to plead to be included in the training camp in the lead-up to the multi-national Games.
Lovlina Borgohain took to social media to share details of the alleged mistreatment that she has been subject to, saying it has heavily affected her training for the Commonwealth Games. Notably, Lovlina won the trails held by the Boxing Federation of India in June to book a berth in the 70kg category for the CWG in Birmingham.
Lovlina said her training has impacted just 8 days ahead of her event at the Commonwealth Games.
Taking to Twitter Lovlina stated, "Today with great sorrow I want to reveal that harassment is going on with me. The coaches who helped me win the Olympic medal were removed which hindered my training process. One of the coaches is Sandhya Gurungji, who is a Dronacharya awardee. Both of my coaches have to plead to be included in the training camp and they are added quite late. I have to face a lot of issues in these training camps and this causes mental harassment as well. Right now my coach Sandhya Gurungji is outside Commonwealth Village and she is not getting entry. My training process was stopped eight days ahead of the Games. My second coach has been sent back to India. In spite of requesting so much I had to face mental harassment. I don't understand how should I focus on the Games as due to this my last World Championships was also spoiled. But I don't want to spoil my CWG because of this politics. I hope I can break this politics for my country and bring a medal as well".
Lovlina scripted history in Tokyo last year by winning a bronze medal in the Welterweight category. The 24-year-old from Assam was out for close to 9 months after her Tokyo Games high.

The Ministry of Transport yesterday affirmed that 95.4 percent shares of Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) are state own so it is necessary to facilitate ACV's investment in Terminal T3 at Tan Son Nhat International Airport to keep whole and develop state capital.
At a quarterly press conference in Hanoi, the ministry's representative said that currently the legal corridor for airport investment is insufficient. Besides, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) stipulates that each airport has only one operator. So in case new investors attend in the airport expansion project, it will be complicated and need the coordination and agreement of ACV.
Furthermore, if letting private firms to participate in the project, the ministry has to fully implement relevant procedures to announce and build up project, short-list investors, set up bidding documents and organize auction to choose investors. That will lengthen the project's implementation process while the airport is in urgent need of expansion.
Besides Tan Son Nhat expansion project, commercial exploitation of Cat Linh-Ha Dong urban railway route in Hanoi and problems in BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) projects received much attention from press agencies.
Replying to questions about breakdowns in Cat Linh-Ha Dong urban railway project, the ministry said that contractors must repair these breakdowns before handing over the project to Vietnamese side. It is unlikely to put the route into operation in early April as expected because of many difficulties and problems.
To BOT toll stations, the ministry said that there are six BOT tollbooths posing potential risk to instability. Localities need to work together to ensure traffic order in these areas. The Directorate for Roads of Vietnam is expected to announce inspection results at Ninh Loc BOT tollbooth in Khanh Hoa province on March 29.
Talking about the progress of reclaiming state capital in the illegal sale of 75.01 percent of shares of Quy Nhon seaport, Deputy Minister Nguyen Ngoc Dong said that relevant sides have agreed with doing procedures to transfer the shares to the state management.

On the Post-Unification Development of Public and Private Pay in Germany

German post-unification in the 1990s is a period that was marked by substantial economic change, part of which was East German wages building towards the much higher West German levels. This paper studies the public-private pay gap in the fast changing economic and political environment of the 1990s using panel estimation techniques which control for unobserved individual heterogeneity. It shows that, while the overall pay gap between public and private sector stayed remarkably constant in the West, earnings differences in the East increased threefold in the late 1990s resulting in a substantial wage premium in the public sector. It is suggested that this premium is a result of the politically induced gap between pay and actual productivity. Furthermore, results vary greatly by gender indicating significantly larger female earnings differentials. Several institutional and political arguments are presented to explain this phenomenon.

Drummers is a beautiful, new, performance space in the Kensington section of Philadelphia, which presents Jazz concerts. It is also the in-home studio of drummer, Sherrie Maricle. She presents house-concerts; educational workshops and offers private drum set lessons. The concerts and workshops are supported by donations and lessons can be arranged separately.
Sherrie Maricle is a drummer, educator and founder of Drummers. She is the leader and drummer for The DIVA Jazz Orchestra, FIVE PLAY, and The DIVA Jazz Trio, as well as co-leader of the 3Divas. Maricle is also a percussionist with The New York Pops, and a published composer/arranger. Maricle's bands have toured the world to critical acclaim and have been featured on a variety of TV specials, including the 25th Anniversary of the Kennedy Center, CBS Sunday Morning, and the 2014 Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular. Sherrie Maricle has a PhD in Jazz Studies from New York University and is an active educator, guest conductor and soloist.
PJP spoke with Sherrie Maricle about her work, Drummers and the upcoming event, Swing in the Holidays w/ Joanna Pascale & The 3Divas.
PJP: Tell us a little about yourself.
Sherrie Maricle: I'm a jazz drummer, band leader, composer and educator who recently decided to make Philadelphia my home. My full bio is here: https://divajazz.com/about/sherrie-maricle-leader/ is anyone is interested. I love to swing and this city swings hard!
PJP: Can you tell us a little about Drummers?
Sherrie Maricle: Drummers is my in-home studio. I present house-concerts; educational workshops and offer private drum set lessons. Concerts and workshops are supported by donations and lessons can be arranged separately. Message or email Sherrie Maricle for more information: smaricle@ptd.net. I want my space to be an inviting, warm, casual place for all things jazz in Philly.
PJP: Tell us some more about the upcoming event[s] and the people working with you.
Sherrie Maricle: I'm working with my trio - 3Divas (Jackie Warren - piano; Amy Shook - Bass) and our special guest, the one and only vocal sensation, Joanna Pascale! The newest addition to the DIVA family of bands: The 3Divas! This super-swingin' powerhouse trio plays original, traditional, and contemporary standards from all genres of music, with their own unique style, innovative arrangements, and effervescent musical joy. Sherrie, Amy, and Jackie met in May of 2014 at the Cleveland Playhouse while playing in The DIVA Jazz Orchestra as part of Maurice Hines' award-winning show "Tappin' Thru Life." Their energy clicked immediately and the resulting musical synergy was fast and fierce...or as the New York Times said…"Blistering Hot!" From their first shared downbeat, they became kindred-swinging spirits.
Sherrie Maricle: This is such a GREAT question! I encourage all of us in the collective "Jazz Family" to support one another by going to each other's gigs; being happy to pay a cover in support of friends and colleagues and be pro-active is sharing information about jazz happenings in our community. In general I'm encouraging musicians to also be fans!
Sherrie Maricle: When I was 11 years old I heard Buddy Rich and his Killer Force Orchestra and from that moment on all I wanted to do was play the drums…JAZZ drums! Once jazz touches your heart, soul and being…it never lets go!

Q: Directory.Enumerate Files - need to filter by strict file extension I have the following code:
Dim File_Names_In_Path = Directory.EnumerateFiles(DropBox_Path, "*.csv")

which works fine on newer machines, however on a few older machines it's finding some files that the users have renamed to "*.csvo".
I'm aware of why this happens - with a wildcard and a three letter extension as per Microsoft's documentation.
I don't really have the option of making the users rename their old files.
How can I make the Directory.EnumerateFiles filter results to only pick .csv files?
I think it might be connected to using .where and the file extension but can't just figure how to add this to my code.

A: If you want it to use the exact case of "csv" then
Dim File_Names_In_Path = Directory.EnumerateFiles(DropBox_Path, "*.csv").
                         Where(Function(f) Path.GetExtension(f) = ".csv")

or to make it case-insensitive:
Dim File_Names_In_Path = Directory.EnumerateFiles(DropBox_Path, "*.csv").
                         Where(Function(f) Path.GetExtension(f).Equals(".csv", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))

Note that the Path.GetExtension Method includes the dot at the start of the extension.
