B(eer)log
So, you're building a brewery...?
This brewery that we are building has truly been a labor of love.
It was first conceived as a joke between my then boyfriend (Josh) and his father. Kerry (Papa Kopp) spoke to Josh about a warehouse he had just acquired and Josh jokingly suggested "What if we build a brewery?"
Back then we were living in the Bay Area of Northern California. I had gotten my dream job at my favorite brewery, doing sales at Ballast Point Brewing. Back in the day, Ballast Point's Sculpin converted me into an IPA lover during a very studious Belgian phase. I fell in love with their home-brew mart roots and crazy delicious beers.
Josh, after working his way up for 4 years, had recently taken over as the Head Brewer at E.J. Phair Brewing Co and was the youngest brewer to take it over. He was brewing for them and contract brewing for other breweries like High Water, Hop Dogma, Half Moon Bay, Camino, and many others.
We were a young and in-love beer world power couple, living the dream. How could it get any better?
Fast forward a year and we decided to jump at what used to be a funny idea that turned into an opportunity. We had just gotten engaged in our backyard surrounded by family and friends – complete with his own beer on tap. Life was accelerating quickly.
We were on a fast track to leave what had been our dream jobs behind, move back to his home in Honolulu Hawaii, and embark on our greatest adventure yet.
It hasn't been easy. Leaving behind the world you have built for yourself and to start from scratch never is. Yet every step of the way we have confirmed what we stand for: adventure into the unknown to find something bigger than ourselves and to give back something that is bigger than ourselves.
About a month ago I married my best friend in the Brewery we are building together. Before the doors have been open to the public, it has been christened by the dancing feet of our closest family and friends, tears from loving speeches, my now father in law dancing on our brand new bar top, and the most epic banzai cheers chant I've ever seen a bad ass grandma do.
It's a truly amazing feeling to be surrounded by the people that support you, challenge you, and make you.
This Brewery is so much bigger than us and we can't wait to spread the adventure, the love, and the discovery with everyone that's willing to take the journey too.

Coronavirus: Vice President Osinbajo In Self-Quarantine
March 25, 2020 Streetvibez News 0
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has gone into self-isolation after President Buhari's Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari tested positive for coronavirus.
The Vice President and Kyari were only seperated by one seat inside the council chambers where the Federal Executive Council meetings are held.
Osinbajo's media aide, Laolu Akande confirmed that his principal went into self-isolation after it was reported he didn't show up in his office on Tuesday March 24.The Vice President will continue working from his home office in compliance with NCDC's directive.
Laolu tweeted;
"VP Osinbajo yesterday at the office conducted his meetings via video conferencing, while observing social distancing. Today, he continues his work from the home office, as he is in self-isolation in accordance with NCDC protocols."
Ade Ipaye, the deputy chief of staff who works with Osinbajo is also said to be in self-isolation.
Though it is not clear how Kyari got the virus, it has however been linked to his recent trip to Germany with Minister of Power, Sale Mamman. The top officials travelled to the European Country to discuss power projects with Siemens.

I graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1999 with a first class honours degree in Contemporary Craft, I specialised in ceramic sculpture and printed textiles. I set up in business straight away and in 2001 my first solo exhibition and also my first site specific installation at the City Galleries Leicester entitled Elvis the Whippet's salon took place, another followed in 2003 at Mima, Middlesborough (Operation Jumpsuit) and Libre les Grenouilles was shown at the Craft Council Gallery shop, London in 2004. Alongside these I have had many shows including Stephanie Hoppen and Medici gallery in London and to this day regularly supply sculptures to galleries such as the Old Courthouse in Ambleside and Fenwick Gallery in Northumberland.
2012 saw the birth of my first daughter and with the demands of motherhood came the need to ditch intensive exhibitions and concentrate on the bread and butter of my business which is private commissions. I have made this my sole focus of my practice over the last few years and my one yearly retail show - Crufts dog show is now my main selling event.
The unique characters present in the animal kingdom always have and continues to provide endless fascination for me and with this a rich and unlimited source of inspiration. It was whilst at university and living on a farm that I first started incorporating canines into my work ... I became fascinated with their (often absurd) individual personalities and since then on I have become intent on capturing this.
Painting for me is as important as the actual sculptures themselves - I enjoy working in different media as for me it keeps the work fresh. Sketching and painting allow me a better understanding of form but more importantly I enjoy the freedom paint offers - away from all the technical constraints associated with handbuilding clay.
Each sculpture is completely made and finished by hand, no moulds whatsoever are used. Initially a frame is made to support the clay during the making process, I then use slab building techniques to create the piece using a smooth black clay which contains a fine grog giving a close texture and a fine surface to the finished sculpture.
Once dry each sculpture is slowly fired to 1100 degrees. It is then painted by hand using a series of washes to create the desired depth of colour and accuracy essential for commissioned pieces. First the base or root colour is applied, then while stil wet, further washes of lighter colours are added to form shade and pattern. The final details are then added with finer and more delicate brush work.
As my sculptures have grown in popularity demand has outstripped my capability to keep up and it became apparant I needed to train someone up to take over the finishing side of the sculptures. Luckily my husband who has a degree in ceramics stepped in and is now my full time assistant.

Sergio Llull named finals MVP
The Whites shooting guard has been chosen as the Most Valuable Player of the Endesa League finals, in which Real Madrid beat Barcelona.
Sergio Llull has been selected as the Most Valuable Player of the Endesa League finals, which saw Real Madrid defeat Barcelona. The guard was a key figure in each of the three matches played in the series, averaging 14.3 points, 3 assists and a PIR of 17.
A particular highlight was his performance in game two, when he scored 24 points, with a 5/5 record on three-pointers in the first quarter, and claimed a PIR of 31. It is the second competition this season in which Llull has been named MVP, having also scooped the accolade in the Endesa Super Cup.

The Avenger Emblem is one of six "Emblem" accessories. It can be crafted by using one of the following emblems Warrior Emblem, Sorcerer Emblem, Summoner Emblem, Ranger Emblem and 5 of every soul from all 3 mechanical bosses. Similar to the effects of the other Emblems, the Avenger Emblem adds 12% to all damage types (ranged, melee, magic, and summon). It can be used to craft the Destroyer Emblem.
It is worth noting that this item does stack bonuses with other damage boosting accessories. It should also be said that any versions of the game that are pre-1.3 have a different crafting recipe for this, using a Warrior, Sorcerer, and Ranger emblem instead of the current recipe.
Now crafted with either a Sorcerer Emblem,Warrior Emblem, Summoner Emblem or Ranger Emblem and 5 Souls of Fright, Souls of Might, and Souls of Sight.


Every year around this time, the editors of this magazine send me a letter asking for a list of story ideas for the upcoming season. Every year my list starts with "Bottomless Pocketbook: A Year-Long Heli-Ski Diary." And every year, a story remarkably similar to that one is written by some lucky staff person. For some strange reason, most of the assignments I actually get aren't my idea at all¿the ones that involve skiing on mud, rolling around inside a giant beach ball, or simply standing around in my ski boots until my toenails turn Technicolor. But as Hyman Roth said to Michael Corleone in Godfather II, "this is the business we have chosen."
While my editors deliberate my fate for next season, I'll give you a behind-the-scenes peek at the editorial-planning process. Here are the ideas that won't make the cut¿the concepts too avant-garde, too cutting edge, too far ahead of their time to appear in the pages of Skiing Magazine. This year, at least.
Travel: "Fly Free...Really Free: A skier's guide to the best bargain in air travel."On June 14 Zoltan Voyonovich, a Croatian national with few if any frequent-flyer miles, was found perched in the landing gear of a 747 as it taxied to the gate at Newark Airport. Unfortunately, he was dead.
Exposé: "Knee-Jerk Reaction: A new, money-saving alternative to expensive orthopedic surgery."
Why pay a high-priced surgeon to reconstruct your blown ACL? Let me do it. Yes, that's right: For three easy payments of $99.95, I will graft your patellar tendon onto the end of your femur and that other big bone¿you know the one. Am I a doctor? Well, no, but after a few milligrams of Versed, you won't care.
You know how on 20/20 they do those hidden-camera exposés about quack doctors? Well, the beauty of this story is that it cuts out the middleman entirely: I'll be the quack doc, and I'll expose myself. Unless, of course, I get good at it.
Profile: "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Skier: Hitting the slopes with one of Hollywood's most exciting young stars."
The mortarboards have been tossed, and the strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" are but an echo. Now that the class of Beverly Hills 90210 has graduated, what's next for its dynamic young star, Ian Ziering, who, according to People magazine, "skis like a young Robert DeNiro" and "lights up the silver screen like Phil Mahre at his finest"?
Equipment: "My Zeppa, My Self: The inside story of the piece of ski gear you can't afford to neglect."
Have you hugged your zeppa today? I didn't think so. So walk over to your ski boots, pull out the liners, and then shake the shell like a martini. That thing that just bounced under your refrigerator? That, my friends, is your zeppa. The zeppa, I contend, is the uvula of the ski world¿little known, little understood, but oh, so important.
Remember that ski movie where Doug Coombs makes that hairball first descent in Valdez? His boots had zeppas in them. Hermann Maier's gold medal¿winning run in Nagano? Ditto. Remember that guy at the beginning of Wide World of Sports? No zeppas. And I bet you didn't know that one of the world's greatest rock bands is named in honor of Jimmy Page's ski boots¿Led Zeppa-lin.
Instruction: "Woof, Woof, Turn, Turn: Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?"
Man's best friennd? Let's look at the balance sheet. Fido digs us out of avalanches. Fido brings us brandy when we're hypothermic. (Actually, you got a margarita in there, pup?) Fido even keeps us from stepping in front of a tractor trailer when we go snow blind. But does Fido get a chance to huck cornices, arc fatties, and experience bottomless powder? Is this a dog's life? Sadly, no.
This winter, I intend to settle the score and get Alison the Brown Dog off the couch and on the slopes. I'll buy her four little boots, four little skis (or could she get away with two?), and her own season pass. A ski jacket? She's not that kind of a dog.
Resorts: "Antarctica Story: A long, expensive feature story about Antarctica."I would like to go to Antarctica. I have never been there. I hear there's a lot of snow there. I would ski there and write a good story about it. A really good one. Honest.

The mother of all battles is shaping up in Malaysian politics
Beleaguered prime minister Najib Razak pulled out all stops to defend himself in the face of a reconfiguring opposition. Putting his dominant party, UMNO, on a war footing at its recently concluded annual general assembly, Najib resorted to the Islamic doctrine of wala' – or loyalty to the leader – as he manoeuvred to rally support and ready UMNO for a general election.
The enabler was his Number 2, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi who started the ball rolling by pledging his own loyalty to Najib, who has been under siege since the outbreak of the 1MDB scandal last year. UMNO for the first time had to ward off an uprising against a sitting president led by a former prime minister and party president. In a single-minded drive to push Najib out, Mahathir Mohamad is leading a "people's movement" to "Save Malaysia". Having resigned from UMNO in protest against Najib, Mahathir has joined the opposition, even reconciling with his former ally-turned-nemesis Anwar Ibrahim to revive their once powerful political partnership.
Najib's Survival Strategy
Mahathir is now demonised as a traitor who would even sleep with the enemy, the Chinese-dominated Democratic Action Party (DAP), to destroy UMNO, the Malay party he once led. The trigger that launched Mahathir on this warpath is 1MDB which has implicated Najib despite his denial of wrongdoing. The scandal has energised the divided opposition as well as Najib's critics, culminating in the departure from UMNO of Mahathir and three other leaders, including deputy prime minister and UMNO deputy president Muhyddin Yassin. All three have formed a new party PPBM, also known for short as Bersatu.
This new party is set to join the Anwar-inspired Pakatan Harapan, formerly known as Pakatan Rakyat. This could strengthen the opposition coalition out to topple Najib, along with UMNO and the ruling national front coalition, Barisan Nasional (BN). It is this prospect of a reconstituted opposition coalition led in spirit and form by the two formidable former foes – Mahathir and Anwar – that caused Zahid to predict an epic clash. "We have to work triple-hard than previous elections because the mother of all battles will be in this coming elections," he told the MalayMail in an interview. Another UMNO leader, the chief minister of Johor state, has described the coming general election as a "battle for survival".
With his back to the wall, Najib's strategy for survival has transformed him from a gentlemanly politician to an almost unrecognisable political animal. At the outbreak of the 1MDB scandal, he swiftly removed key senior officials who were not on his side, including the attorney-general, before sacking his chief critic, the deputy premier Muhyiddin. 1MDB has now grown into an international scandal as several governments launched probes where the financial fiasco affected their jurisdictions; yet at the UMNO general assembly over the weekend, 1MDB was hardly an issue as the entire party's attention was deflected towards the impending general election.
Rohingya Issue
Najib the Malay nationalist then burnished his credentials as an Islamic leader by latching on to the latest humanitarian crisis on the Rohingya in Myanmar, which came at an opportune time for him. Usually cautious when making his moves and choosing his words, Najib was a different persona at the Rohingya solidarity rally the next day.
He did the unprecedented in ASEAN: He brushed aside a warning by Myanmar not to interfere in the country's internal affairs. Upset that his foreign minister was turned away by Aung San Suu Kyi when he sought bilateral talks on the issue, Najib declared a limit to the ASEAN principle of non-interference when it came to human rights abuses. He even ticked off Suu Kyi for not living up to her name as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, while urging Indonesian president Joko Widodo to mobilise a larger rally in support of the Rohingya: "Enough is enough!" he said. "They want me to close my eyes? Shut my mouth? I will not keep quiet. We will defend them (the Rohingya)!"
Billed as the Muslim Ummah Solidarity Rally for the Rohingya, it was clearly not just to show solidarity with the persecuted Rohingya, thousands of whom have taken refuge in Malaysia. It was also to showcase solidarity between UMNO and PAS, the Islamist opposition which Najib has been trying hard to woo. Indeed, this was a showcase moment – of him on stage together with the opposition Islamist PAS leader, Hadi Awang.
In coming together to support the Rohingya, UMNO and PAS have signalled their converging political interests. While this does not necessarily mean they would end up as formal allies in the coming elections, it does raise the prospect of an electoral pact. The more UMNO can win PAS over, the lesser the chances of the Pakatan Harapan opposition getting stronger. ASEAN will now have to contain the political fallout on the diplomatic and regional fronts.
The Mood Outside UMNO
Najib is clearly overflowing with confidence. UMNO leaders claimed the party had turned the corner and was now solidly behind him. While this may be so, it is too early to say if UMNO is completely out of the woods, going by publicly-aired sentiments. One came from a recent press conference by an UMNO Youth leader who quit the party after he was suspended for allegedly trying to "sabotage Najib" by attempting to provide Mahathir with a speaking platform.
It was not so much the Youth leader's resignation but what he said. He said many more were standing behind him and claimed there would be "busloads" who would leave UMNO in "managed waves". This would build up to the general election that is widely expected to be quickened to next year, before the fractured opposition could consolidate.
On a broader note, while UMNO may still be the dominant Malay party, it is no longer regarded as the sole representative of the Malay community's political aspirations. Outside UMNO – indeed outside the Malay community – the mood may be in stark contrast. A recent article by a former senior civil servant and now a think-tank senior, Ramon Navaratnam, was telling. He warned of a "serious disconnect" between UMNO leaders and the wider Malaysian public.
Ramon wondered whether the UMNO leaders' confidence and happiness was "shared by all Malays and Bumiputeras and especially, most Malaysians, including non-Malays and non-Muslims". "Prime Minister Najib Razak and UMNO leaders are generally confident of the future, but are Malaysians happy too?" He listed five sources of discontent – inflation, corruption, unemployment, human rights, and deteriorating safety and security. The chairman of the ASLI Centre for Public Policy Studies said: "Malaysia's public confidence by any measure is now low and declining…This is causing much loss of public confidence and unhappiness, which all political leaders must address expeditiously, before it's too late for the 14th general election."

What GM and Ford Investors Should Know Ahead of Third-Quarter Earnings
By Michael Wayland, CNBC	• Published October 26, 2021 • Updated on October 27, 2021 at 10:27 am
Paul Hennessy | LightRocket | Getty Images
General Motors and Ford Motor are expected to report solid third-quarter earnings Wednesday despite an ongoing global disruption of supply chains.
The Detroit automakers have managed as well as they can during the disruptions, allowing them to raise their earnings expectations for the year on record vehicle pricing and profits.
DETROIT – General Motors and Ford Motor are expected to report relatively solid third-quarter earnings Wednesday despite an ongoing global disruption of supply chains, including a shortage of semiconductor chips that have depleted vehicle inventories but boosted profits this year.
The Detroit automakers have managed as well as they can during the disruptions, allowing them to raise their earnings expectations for the year on record vehicle pricing and profits amid surprisingly resilient consumer demand. That's trend is expected to continue, as the automotive industry rebuilds inventory as more production comes back online in the coming weeks and quarters, according to analysts.
"Not only should both benefit from favorable fundamentals amid an up cycle environment, but both have a significant opportunity ahead to improve perception on their long-term positioning in an EV/AV world," Credit Suisse analyst Dan Levy said in an investor note last week.
JPMorgan analyst Ryan Brinkman last week raised estimates to forecast a large beat in the case of GM and by increasing Ford estimates to more modestly above consensus from in line. However, he noted that Ford's performance was expected to increase during the quarter, while GM's was expected to have declined.
Here's what Wall Street analysts expect from each automaker's third-quarter earnings as well as other things investors should know about before GM reports ahead of the market opening Wednesday, followed by Ford after the markets close.
Wall Street estimates
Analyst estimates compiled by Refinitiv forecast GM to report earnings per share of 96 cents and revenue of $26.5 billion, down 25.3% compared to a year earlier.
Ford is expected to have earnings per share of 27 cents on automotive revenue of $32.5 billion, down 6.2%, according to Refinitiv.
Second-half expectations
GM and Ford executives have said they expect the second half of the year to be weaker than the first six months of 2021.
GM previously warned investors that its North American wholesale volumes would be down by about 200,000 units in the second half of 2021 compared with the first half. It has continued to maintain its financial guidance for the year, including adjusted earnings of between $11.5 billion and $13.5 billion, or $5.40 to $6.40 a share. It earned about $6.2 billion, or $4.21 a share, during the first six months of the year.
GM said it expects to take a hit of between $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion during the second half of the year, due to a $1.5 billion to $2 billion rise in commodity costs and lower earnings from its financial arm.
In July, Ford raised its guidance for the year, but it told investors the second half of the year would be weaker than the first regarding its operating profit, which was at $5.9 billion through June. At that time, the company raised its guidance for full-year adjusted earnings before taxes by about $3.5 billion, to between $9 billion and $10 billion.
Deutsche Bank analyst Emmanuel Rosner expects both automakers to guide to the high-end of their previous ranges, if not higher.
"We expect both Ford and GM to beat 3Q consensus estimates and maintain/raise full-year guidance. Beyond that, we see several potential catalysts on the horizon for both companies," he said in a note Monday, citing electric and autonomous vehicle developments.
EVs/AVs
While the automakers are pouring billions of dollars into electric and autonomous vehicles, the segment won't contribute much to their third-quarter earnings.
Both automakers during the last quarter released significant new details about their plans for the emerging sectors, including an $11 billion investment from Ford in U.S. facilities to produce electric vehicles and batteries.
GM outlined financial targets such as doubling revenue and increasing profit margins to between 12% and 14% by 2030 during an investor day earlier this month. Its majority-owned subsidiary Cruise also said it expects to begin charging for a robotaxi service as early as next year in San Francisco, pending final regulatory approval.
During the quarter, GM also said it would recognize an estimated recovery in the third-quarter that will offset $1.9 billion of $2.0 billion in charges associated with an ongoing recall of its Chevrolet Bolt EVs as part of a settlement with LG, which produced the defective batteries.
Partial builds
Ford's stock is up about 80% this year, so investors will be watching for any additional drag on the automaker heading into next year.
They'll also want to know any updates regarding production and shipments of Ford's F-Series pickups, which the automaker, like GM, has been partially building to finish when chips become available.
Steve Carlisle, GM's North American chief executive, said last week the automaker is more than halfway through shipping newly assembled pickups that it had parked due to a shortage of semiconductor chips, according to Reuters.
When reporting a year-over-year sales decline of 32.8% for the third-quarter earlier this month, GM said the semiconductor chip situation was improving. Nov. 1 is expected to mark the first time since February that none of GM's North American assembly plants will be idled due to the chip shortage. However, two remain down for retooling and some are operating on less shifts.
GM's stock is up by about 40% in 2021.

Kagame Shows Off His First African Union E-Passport Stamp
Erin C.J. Robertson
Chadian President Deby's fifth swearing-in ceremony offered an occasion for Rwandan President Kagame to pick up his first e-passport stamp.
Rwandan President Paul Kagame, one of the first two recipients of the African Union's new e-passport that launched last month in Kigali, got to use the official document en route to the latest coronation of Chad's president for life Idriss Deby—the second beneficiary of Africa's new passport system.
While en route to Deby's fifth swearing-in ceremony held at the Grand Hotel N'Djamena Monday—which has been met with protest—Kagame tweeted this photo of the first stamp in his snazzy, red and gold passport book.

It's a rare look at the travel permit that is expected to be rolled out to all Africans by 2018, despite only 13 out of the 54 AU countries having access to the required biometrics technology, while others have yet to relax their visa restrictions.

Q: Is it possible to register a custom gamepad in javascript with the Gamepad API? Quick background
I am currently working on a VR application with A-frame to showcase VR hardware. We use custom controllers that connects through websocket/bluetooth and would like to make them compatible with the tracked-controls. Those A-Frame components use the Gamepad API to update model positionning and orientation and are compatible with other components that simulate hands, etc.
Why register the gamepad using javascript?
The tracked-controls use the gamepad api to update themselves so being able to put our own gamepad in the navigator.getGamepads list and updating the data of the gamepad would be perfect. However, the current controllers are constantly changing and having a browser specific implementation like the vive is impossible.
Is it possible to register a custom gamepad in javascript with the Gamepad API?

A: It's not possible to add entries to navigator.getGamepads(). Your custom controllers could potentially emulate a well-known controller using a project like this, but your mileage with this approach may vary and be OS-specific.

A new chief is comin' to town
Who's leaving?
Sacramento Police Chief Daniel Hahn is retiring. Hahn had served as the Chief for 4 years, and he is the only Black man to have occupied the role. He did not give a reason for retiring. Hahn served as Chief in the wake of the murder of Stephon Clark, when the SPD arrested 84 folx who were demonstrating against the D.A.'s decision not to file charges against the 2 officers that murdered Stephon. The City is currently in the process of hiring a new chief - we're bringing you this brief update to help keep you informed! You can find information about this process from the City by clicking here. Read on for SJPC's perspective.
The City's survey
The City of Sacramento opened a survey, which closed October 22nd, to the public that asked what people thought makes a "Great Chief of Police". The survey is very broad, it includes the ability to pick seven characteristics you'd like to see in the next police chief, a section for comments about characteristics, and a section asking what the "biggest community challenge" will be for the next chief. Pretty vague. The main takeaway from this survey is that it is by NO MEANS an adequate form of community engagement. We expect much more in terms of involving the people of Sacramento in this hiring process.
The community demands
A letter was sent to City Manager Howard Chan by the ACLU of Northern California on October 22nd, addressing their demands for the hiring process of a new police chief, and their desire to meet with folx from Chan's office on behalf of Sacramento community members. This was sent after the ACLU conducted two listening sessions with Sacramento community residents about what they wanted to see in a police chief. Each time the responses emphasized transparency.
These are the three reasons the ACLU lists for wanting to meet with the City Manager's office (as pulled from their letter):
1) Share the urgency and importance of meaningful engagement of community members and city councilmembers in the recruitment and selection process for the new police chief of SPD
2) Share the community members' vision for reimagined public safety
3) Share questions community members request be asked of all potential candidates during the interview process.
Each of these asks is elaborated on in the letter, which can be accessed by clicking this link.
Response From City Manager Staff
The city manager staff responded that they will take into account the information shared in the letter. They also mentioned even though they would like to meet, they are not able to accommodate a meeting at this time.

Further, the city manager staff mentioned the community survey that was created is for community engagement. We get the sense the City will try and say that was the "community engagement." Because of that, it will be important to make our voices heard that the survey is not sufficient.
Despite City Council stating that City Manager Chan would provide an update on the hiring process at the Council meeting on November 16th, there was no update given. The Council does not meet again until Nov. 30th.

Shows reality of Pakistan: Gautam Gambhir on Pakistan's Danish Kaneria row

Commenting on the row related to former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria, BJP lawmaker Gautam Gambhir said this is the real face of Pakistan and it is a shame that a player who has represented the country in so many matches had to go through this.
A video of Pakistani pacer Akhtar has gone viral on social media in which he had said that players of the Pakistani team refused to eat food with Kaneria just because he was a Hindu.
"This is the actual face of Pakistan. We had Mohammad Azharuddin as captain of our side and he captained us in 80-90 Test matches. This shows the reality of Pakistan, they have a sportsman (Imran Khan) as their Prime Minister, still, people in their country have to go through this. Kaneria played 60 matches for Pakistan, and it is shameful," former cricketer Gambhir told reporters.
Following the revelation made by Akhtar, Kaneria soon released a statement, urging the Pakistan Prime Minister to help him in the current scenario.
"My life is not in good shape and I approached many individuals in Pakistan and around the world to resolve my issues. Yet, I have not received any help. Issues of many cricketers of Pakistan have been resolved though. I gave everything possible for Pakistan as a cricketer and I am very proud of it. And in the hour of need, I am positive that the people of Pakistan will help," Kaneria had said.
"I need support from all legendary players of Pakistan including Prime Minister Imran Khan, cricket administrators of Pakistan and other countries to get me out the mess. Please come forward and help me out," Kaneria`s statement read.The 39-year-old Kaneria had played 61 Tests for Pakistan and is the second Hindu to feature in the Pakistani cricket team after Anil Dalpat.
