sourav ganguly back to IPL

Kolkata / NEW DELHI: It may seem like a classic case of closing the barn door after the horse has bolted, but it is the Sahara Warriors sign Pune Sourav Ganguly in place of injured pacer Ashish Nehra that meets the eye.

The Warriors Yuvraj Singh-led, languishing at the bottom of the table after six straight losses, need to win all their other six games to give themselves a realistic chance of breaking a playoff spot in the fourth IPL

Yuvraj batting was not bad, although he refused to lift the order but failed to move forward. By roping in Sourav, who has always been a mentor to Yuvi, the Warriors management has clearly attempted to increase their confidence captain.

"We needed someone with experience, when key players like Angelo Mathews, Ashish Nehra and Tim Paine sidelined by injuries. Who would not want Sourav? He brings experience. After all, he played with Yuvraj, Uthappa and Karthik, and one of the most successful captains of the country has seen, "Abhijit Sarkar, Head, Sahara Adventure Limited, told TOI. "

We were lucky that everything fell into place for us, "said Sarkar." The team has had bad results ... We are confident that the arrival of Sourav going to change things around us. "

TOI sources said, the first shot came from Pune, close after the team's owners decided to go to someone with experience. When Ganguly was offered to play in Pune, his first reaction was: "Why I am not ready to play, even without money."
The Bengal left-hander wants to prove a point to those who think cricket career is over. Sources close to Ganguly says he is simply trying to avenge the "insult" to the auction.

While veterans like VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid and Shane Warne to play in IPL, why could he not? Ganguly will be paid about Rs 80 lakh to play the rest of the season.

What new job profile Ganguly ask him to do a lot of mentoring in addition to contributing to the bat. After six straight losses, two of them from winning positions, is the team's morale is very low.

The only problem is that the franchise owners may have left too late. For Sourav is a case of fifth time lucky. Twice to take into account all the concessions and 10, players are auctioned in January, and two failed attempts by Tuskers Kochi to take it on board, Sourav finally gets the opportunity to show the world that he belongs.

Sourav, who spent a terrible auction after four months, but refused to give up his dream of IPL, has been to the gym regularly. Two days after sending the fans into a tizzy at the Eden Gardens to appear on the stands during the match against KKR Kings XI Punjab, Bengal's favorite son returned to his "spiritual home" and were engaged in serious practice Network on Tuesday.

On his way he stopped to confirm agreement with the warriors of Pune, the promise of long talk after being formally introduced. A twist of fate can be prevented from being anointed as the "King of Kochi, but a turn of fortune is now seen in the avatar of" warrior prince "in Pune.

It is unfortunate that warriors are not expected to play in the Garden of Eden cons KKR, but expect fireworks on May 19 when the two teams clash at the DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai.

Big Stories And Technology Covering Stories That Cover A Large News

Every time there is great news, there will be little time after a series of stories about the good news is covered / broadcast / broadcast by the media and technology use and live in our daily lives. It is as if a new cycle of any important news coverage was created. In fact it is "as if." That's exactly what happens.


This past weekend was certainly full of great news. And the Royal Wedding and the killing of Osama Bin Laden the big story, even if tracks are very different. Since the coverage has been written about how social media and technology allows them to watch or to leave the royal wedding news Bin Laden began to crack. And of course, when there is big news these days, Twitter has a key role behind the case. Some point to the tweet of Defense Don Rumsfeld's former chief of staff that really the news that Bin Laden is dead.


old media and new sources (Twitter, blogs, Facebook, etc ...) will probably argue about the importance of the respective platforms in the years ahead when it comes to "breaking news." In my opinion, technology has advanced to a point where I think the mass dissemination of news are faster, but I'm not sure if the speed itself is so much faster. While more people hear about the news before and it spread faster, but I think the spark of a story that still works on the same base speed. While chaos that comes with the latest news is just as messy, if not more.


It is interesting to read about this from Bryce Dot VC called Ten Years of Innovation highlighted One Night. As a writer I had the most news from TV and radio ten years ago, had first-hand, or if someone called me with the news that they had heard. In fact, what happened on that terrible morning, 9 / 11 When I was coming from my car to come to my office, my wife asked me to tell me that the plane flew into the first tower. Before I even got to my office, I called the news of the second machine and the second tower. At that time, was based on two sources, updated information. One of these sources, updating web pages as fast as I could, the other was a radio. I remember us all sitting in the theater listening to the radio in the morning for any new news for us.


Sunday night, my wife and I have not had television. We were watching a movie, if for Netflix. She could not have suggested an imminent presidential address to my new smartphone was inevitable if not ring with an update of a news source that was about to happen. So he went to Netflix and cable news source and Twitter. Both have been a communication on the same information (one wonders who's the chicken and the egg that is) until the news finally broke. Before the news, I sent text messages to my sisters and some friends. About half were aware something was up, the others had not heard anything. Speculation has spread everywhere, and as we see today, a lot of detail expected is modified and extended now that things have settled.


Breaking news is always a moving target to be defined, and always will be. There will always be monitored and enforced after the big story breaks. But I think it is interesting in relation to the fact that 10 years is that the core level attacks horrible news of 9 / 11 and the death of Osama Bin Laden, so basically I reached through the network of some kind. E 'substantially different than the messengers passing back and forth to the cities and villages in the news, telegrams, or passing along the wires, or phone calls or reading your Twitter feed.


But I always come back to this smartphone as Netflix /. Last year, when there was Netflix streaming (or any other source for this type of entertainment), which would have been alerted by an analysis of the TV screen or a network anchor talking head missing to give us the news that there would be new . This time, probably spent a happy night of sleep after the movie was over if I had not created such alerts smartphone. But again, I bet someone in my family or network of friends who have picked up the phone and call. So let me believe that multiple emission sources for this type of news is a good thing. Once again, I think the author of the piece that link above is correct that these changes occur gradually and almost imperceptibly seem to evolve.


No doubt we live in an exciting time. I have curiosity to know how the audience has changed with the new technology. Tell us in comments. What do you expect? Or do you have? For example, I know through a local Twitter as I am able to receive traffic alerts better than my travel plans of leaving and returning from work on occasion. This information has been available before, but I have a faster access to it now and that helps me choose my road to go to work.


Tell us your thoughts.

Osama Is Dead, But The Jihadist Terrorism To Survive Pakistan'support

NEW DELHI: Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda who was killed by U.S. Special Forces in a garrison city near Islamabad, has influenced thousands of young Muslims in the years 1980 and 1990, jihadist terrorism must be taken as a weapon challenge. I wanted to use this weapon to correct what he perceived was done for historical injustices of the Ummah (Muslim Brotherhood) by the non-Islamic world.

Among these cases of historical injustices, citing the Jewish occupation of Palestine and the occupation of the land that he believes that once belonged to the Muslims by non-Islamic forces. They also wanted the Muslims to take up arms against the ideological influences that tend to corrupt Islam. First he fought against the "corrupting influence" of communist ideology in Afghanistan against Soviet and Afghan troops in the 1980's.

He saw nothing wrong with accepting the help of Western ideological forces against communism and to force him to stay in Afghanistan. He may not have been the iconic figure that had not been used by the CIA and the intelligence agencies of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. They projected the ultimate jihad to young Muslims in the Arab world and the jihad against Soviet troops and the communist ideology.

With the help of these agencies, forcing Soviet troops withdraw from Afghanistan and placed under the control of medieval Islamic forces and the Taliban. Its medieval version of Islam, which is condemned by the United States was encouraged by the United States in the 1980's as a strategic weapon against communism. Having tasted success in Afghanistan, and strength of Arab youth - armed and trained with the help of U.S., Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, the intelligence agencies in secret camps in Pakistan, turned against their Western mentors and led the fight in a new jihad against "Crusaders" and Jews in the 1990's.

Icon 1980, toasted the United States because of his success against communism, came to the dreaded monster of Frankenstein in 1990 and subsequent years. Jihad is a monster, has become the world feared that terrorists spread death and destruction throughout the world in his al-Qaeda and the International Islamic Front since 1996. 9 / 11 terrorist attacks in the United States of America to understand that he had become a serious threat. Then, kill this monster came to power so-called war against international terrorism.

It took almost 10 years and cost billions of dollars. Ultimately, the death of this monster was the birthplace, Pakistan. It was found hidden in Abbottabad, where the Army trains its officerrecruits Pak. This article has been enough of privacy, the monster was one of its creators - the Pakistan army and intelligence. Osama's death, the birthplace of the Pakistani army has intensified the light in another Frankenstein monster, the ISI.

Since 1980, the ISI has been to treat Pakistan with the U.S. Army. The United States turns a blind eye damaging the ISI role in sponsoring terrorism against the variety of India, Afghanistan and other countries, does not know how to act towards the country after killing a monster. The end of bin Laden is not the end of the global jihadist terrorism.

The leading non-governmental global jihadist terrorism may be dead, but the state of Pakistan who continue to use this terrorism, lives in denial mode. Neither Pakistan nor society is ready to admit that al-Qaeda and its surviving leaders have managed to escape arrest, prosecution or death because of the support provided by the State in Pakistan. The same is true of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and other jihadists affiliated with al Qaeda.

Unless the United States and other members of the international community is ready to make the right conclusions from it became clear that bin Laden had been living and survival of an important garrison town in Pakistan and in force in Pakistan to stop terrorism as a weapon the death of the Government of bin Laden does not mark the end of the beginning of the international jihadist terrorism. Osama may be dead, but the jihad in the form of terrorism or other show, until it receives support from Pakistan.

In the process, covering some 80,000 hectares of farmland in seven states expanded.

Marico IT team developed an application based mobile handsets Nokia 5235-series. The company gave these GPS-enabled phones for 120 of its local representatives, with routes mapped. He has contributed to an agricultural adviser for the exact route and also save time.

Mobile application can receive real-time information to farmers. Images of crops and soil in the camera to monitor the progress of contract farming, seed data and weather conditions. Because the data are available online, but also helps the company analyze and make decisions quickly.

"Previously, the questionnaire relating to the harvest, it would take 10-15 days to deal with an agronomist. But mobile phones, it is much easier. The poll was resolved in 24 hours," adds Mahajan.

Maricopa has also established a management information system (MIS), connecting all of its distributors. "This is based on the reorder level of distribution. It keeps track of inventory for all distributors. If the system detects that the distributor has in stock replenishment, automatically generates a sales order," says Mahajan.

"That's why we tried this technique is an extension of the shops. Take the hand picking and selection is possible if you have three or four stores, but when you expand the system becomes inefficient. Since the system is a semi-automatic and the process is assisted by light, almost idiot-proof. We have seen almost 99 per cent accuracy of administration, "he said.
