Powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake strikes off Japan, no tsunami warning issued
The US Geological Survey said the quake had a magnitude of 7.8 and a depth of 678 kilometers (421 miles).
His school in Shimla had a way of promoting students from class 10 to class 11 before their final tests were declared (Later, if they had not passed, they would be demoted). One day his father came to school, and took him to the expensive Alpha cafe for a meal, and Anupam was wondering what they were celebrating. His dad then told him he had failed class 10, but he wanted him not to fear failure, it was ‘nothing to worry about’, hence the costly meal. And so, he said, “My father took away my fear of failure at the age of 16.” Failure is full of possibilities…! (Anupam later passed BA in Economics, third class with 30%)
who was the rural development minister during UPA rule, said the Modi government has made a “mockery” of the exercise to go into the measure by the joint committee which had held its first meeting only on Friday. The “black” ordinance would dilute the importance of the Committee, he said condemning the decision. Government has “insulted” Parliament by the move, he said demanding that it should give it up. The message that has gone from the move is that Modi government believes in NAMO (No Act Make Ordinance). Replying to questions, Ramesh said that the party will consider the suggestion
to approach President Pranab Mukherjee again on the issue in the wake of the new development. Speaking separately, party’s communication department in-charge Randeep Surjewala dubbed the move as a “travesty of justice” and an “affront to Parliament”. “It is an affront to Parliament which refused to put its stamp of approval. Duplicity of prime minister stands exposed as he had only yesterday (Friday) said that his government is open to reviewing the anti-farmer land ordinance”, he said. He demanded that the government desist from the move and “apologise to the nation for its subversive designs”.
PM Modi in amazing hurry to grab land from poor farmers at any cost: Rahul Gandhi
Agency | New Delhi A powerful earthquake struck near remote Japanese islands and shook most of the country Saturday evening, but it occurred well beneath the earth’s surface and did not trigger a tsunami warning. Two people suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and there were no reports of major damage. The magnitude-8.5 offshore quake struck off the Ogasawara islands at a depth of 590 kilometers (370 miles), the Japan Meteorological Agency said. The US Geological Survey said the quake had a magnitude of 7.8 and a depth
6,614 have got A2 grade. Examination in our education system is mainly a memory test. Memory is important, but it is not everything to be successful in life. Our system given label of ‘failure’ to millions of students across the country every year when results of exam are out. Thanks to our system, the amount of frustration, the students, their parents, siblings and others suffer at such occasion is unimaginable.

Buildings swayed in Tokyo - about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) north of the Ogasawara islands - and disrupted some train services in the city. About 400 houses in Saitama prefecture, just north of the capital, were without power, according to the Tokyo Electric
Power Co. At Tokyo’s Roppongi Hills shopping and business complex, elevators stopped soon after the earthquake struck the area, forcing hundreds of visitors to climb down the stairs. Among them were about 200 people who came to see the Star Wars exhibit on the 52nd floor.

Why do humans feel deeply attached to their land? Human relationship with soil is complex. We like to possess land, some place to call our own. We identify ourselves not only with the land we own but also with the surrounding culture. In this, we are no different from other animals. Most animals (especially the male of the species) go to elaborate lengths, including risking their lives, to mark out territory and control it. At one level, soil is a provider of food, support and a place of rest. On another, it is a possession like no other. Over millennia, humans have valued possession of land way beyond other things. Great wars have been fought over small pieces of land. Gold, precious stones, wealth have all have been used simply as an expression of superiority, but land is a precious possession. The only exception is the migrating human population that values livestock rather than land. Land is something that has defined people. Soil is a living tribute to, and a memoir of the dead as no other. Graves have been made to honour the men past and ancient tombs of the great continue to be worshipped millennia after their death. Even in the burial, some take great care to keep the body isolated from the dirt of the soil while others ensure that the mortal remains become a part of the soil as quickly as possible. People identify more easily with soil than human constructs like religion or ideology. A square metre of land has more symbolic value for humans. We identify with our place of birth and our roots far more closely than the material objects we grew up with. Even in cosmopolitan cities, it is not unusual for people to identify themselves with their ‘native land’. They may have migrated out of compulsions, but their identity is still associated with their ancestral land. Tagore’s Kabuliwala would readily testify to this. We tend to discard and ignore our early earthly possessions, but no one can help but be saddened when leaving that patch of land behind as they move on in life. But, vast expanses of land have always scared and fascinated humans. They have always tried to limit their vision of land. The immediate response of humans (and even other animals) on coming to a piece of land, is to define it with limits or boundaries so that its possession remains comprehendible. Each animal has a sense of ‘defendable size of territory’ and will only claim that much for the fear of being overstretched. No house, village, town, city or civilisation has declared infinite land for itself. Vast and devastating wars have occurred between human (and animal) tribes, but in the end, it is all to extend the limits of ownership. When an occasional Alexander or Hitler has demanded an open-ended access to the vast expanse of land, they have only failed in a spectacular manner.

Agency | Mumbai On Thursday May 28, a special screening was organised for the cast of director Zoya Akhtar’s upcoming film. However, even though the screening was only for people who have worked on the film, a special provision was made for Deepika Padukone, who attended the event with her alleged beau Ranveer Singh. An insider reveals, “Ranveer wanted to invite Deepika for the screening, as he wanted her to watch the film before it releases. Since none of the cast members were shown the film prior to this, Ranveer thought it would be apt for him to invite Deepika for the very first screening.” Apparently, Ranveer consulted Zoya before inviting Deepika. “Zoya had not shown the film
to anyone before this screening. Ranveer felt it was important to consult Zoya before inviting Deepika, as she has been very particular about who sees the film before the release. However, when Ranveer asked her, she readily agreed,” adds the insider. The screening was also attended by other cast members, including Priyanka Chopra, Anil Kapoor, and Anushka Sharma, among others. Interestingly, after the screening, the team was joined by Aamir Khan. The insider says, “After the screening, everyone decided to hang out at the venue. Most of them were seen sharing their opinions about the movie. The conversations went on till the wee hours, and Aamir joined them too. They all left the venue around 3 am.” said the source.

New Zealand’s tailenders cut loose to add 53 runs in 7.1 overs before the tourists were bowled out for 350 on the second day of the second Test against England at Headingley on Saturday. Stuart Broad took the final two New Zealand wickets to finish with figures of 5-for109, his 13th five-ticket haul in Tests. Resuming on 297/8, the Black Caps continued their assault on England’s attack with Matt Henry smashing a four and a six before misjudging another heave and edging Broad to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler for 27.

The New Zealand pace bowlers kept a tight line and there were few bad balls on offer so the England openers played watchfully compared with the flamboyant stroke-play of the touring side on Thursday.

Blatter made it clear in his post-election speech he “will not touch the World Cup” but intends to increase the chances of a team from FIFA’s smallest confederation, Oceania, having more than just a shot at a playoff to reach the finals. If he committed to offering Oceania a direct place, one of the other confederations faced losing one and UEFA president Michel Platini said he had “drawn a red line” that it will not be taken from UEFA’s allocation of the 13 places they had in Brazil last year. But Blatter eased any fears of changes. “There is no change ... even though some [associations] were more grumpy than others, shall we say,” Blatter told a press conference after a FIFA executive committee meeting. “We have to protect the World Cup because the World Cup is income number one
and competition number one,” he said. The committee decision means that Europe will still get 13 places at the finals and South America four. English Football Association chairman Greg Dyke said the country would support a World Cup boycott if Blatter was re-elected and Britain’s candidate for FIFA vice-president, David Gill, refused to take the post as a result of Blatter’s presidency. But Blatter said the actions of individual associations or people would not affect his decision making. “I have been elected by 133 associations but I’m the
president of all of them,” he said. “[There will be] no impact for the future.” He also said he would go to New Zealand and Canada, two federations that did not support him in the election, for the under-20 World Cup and the Women’s World Cup respectively. Having lost the support of most of Europe, Blatter did fire a few more shots at UEFA on Saturday. UEFA did not send a representative to the meeting of the executive committee and Blatter said that was unacceptable behaviour by one of the biggest confederations in football.

Geete said that the units facing closure are HMT Watches, HMT Chinar, HMT Bearing, Tunga Bhadra Steels and Hindustan Cable Corporation. “Their assets are valued at around Rs 22,000 crore. We would get this by spending Rs 1,400 crore on their clo-
sure,” said Geete. The companies are at prime locations in different states. “We are prepared to give immovable properties and the machineries and plants to buyers on ‘as it is and where it is’ basis,” Geete said. He disclosed that cabinet has given in-principle approval. “These companies are closed since 2007. We have spent around Rs 4,000 crore on the salaries,” pointed out Geete. “Around 2,800 employees of these CPSEs will be offered voluntarily retirement. While these employees were getting salaries as per 1997 pay scale, VRS would also be as per 2007 pay scale,” he added. “No investor is ready to invest in such companies. So we took the decision to close them,” said Geete.
