Cursory observers of political events in South Asia must be surprised at how quickly India-Pakistan relations, once seen to be on the upswing after a new government took over in India in 2014, have gone downhill in the last fortnight.<br />
<br />
When Prime Minister <b>Narendra Modi</b> unexpectedly invited all heads of South Asian nations for his swearing in, almost all eyes were on the cordiality between him and Pakistan's prime minister, Nawaz Sharif. Similarly, when he decided to drop by Lahore last December to wish Sharif birthday wishes as he flew back from Afghanistan, Modi appeared to signal a resolve to address the perpetually vexed relations between the two nations.<br />
<br />
Modi's visit to Lahore was followed by an attack on an important Indian air force base in the north Indian city of Pathankot by Jaish-e-Mohammad, or JeM, an outlawed militant group based in Pakistan. The Pakistan government's condemnation and its offer to assist with the investigations was seen to be an important step in recognition by the country's civilian establishment of Indian concerns regarding terror groups operating out of Pakistani soil. India accepted the offer by granting access to a Pakistani investigative team to the air base.Movie Scoperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13136046564283245403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755525199403763128.post-46071291382053759382015-07-18T20:56:00.001-07:002015-07-18T20:56:21.289-07:00Jaipur Pink Panthers, Abhishek Bachchan, Pro Kabaddi League, KabaddiJaipur Pink Panthers' owner Abhishek Bachchan said his wife and actress

Raider Jasvir Singh got four points for the Panthers from a single raid with 10 minutes left when he got a touch on the last two Mumba players standing to pack the rivals off for a second lona and two additional points. Things went neck to neck in the initial stage, the highlight being U Mumba captain Anup Kumar taking three rivals out to help his side take a 4-2 lead before the Panthers caught up and then jumped ahead to a two-point lead (8-6). For U Mumba, the points tally in raiding was expectedly led by captain Anup Kumar(11) but what swung the game the Panthers way was superior defending through which they secured 13 points as compared to their rivals'. Stout defending, especially from Prashant Chavan, also saw the Jaipur franchise pack off the star rival raider Anup Kumar on a few occasions to further push U Mumba, who were handicapped by the knee injury sustained by key raider Shabbir Bapu Sharfuddin that handicapped his staying on court, behind. Jaipur Pink Panthers proved too strong for U Mumba as they produced a clinical performance in the all-important final to emerge triumphant in the inaugural Star Sports Pro Kabaddi League at the NSCI Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. The Abishek Bachchan-owned Panthers scored a 35-24 victory in an action-packed summit clash against U Mumba on Sunday. The Pirates, though handicapped by the absence of their star player and captain Rakesh Kumar, defended stoutly to keep their rivals at bay, especially in the first half, to win the third place in the eight-team tournament that concluded today. The Abishek Bachchan-owned Panthers scored a 35-24 victory in an action-packed summit clash in front of a full house with a number of celebrities in attendance. They kept up this slight advantage till half time though Mumba reduced the gap to four points at the end of the 20th minute of the game (18-14).Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755525199403763128.post-56569095814803216202015-07-17T03:17:00.000-07:002015-07-17T03:17:54.390-07:00MAC Cosmetics, Selena make over<h2>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">Hello everyone and welcome to CricketCountry’s coverage of the second One-Day International (ODI) between </span>Sri Lanka<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"> and </span>Pakistan<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"> at Pallekele.

Pakistan won the Test series 2-1 and riding on Mohammad Hafeez’s all-round performance the visitors defeated the hosts. Azhar Ali is captain of Pakistan. Neither team is likely to make too many changes just one match into the series, though Sri Lanka could certainly consider bringing in some of their other pacers after the lacklustre bowling performance in the last match. The extra speed of Pradeep could be useful to a team that is lacking firepower. </span>Mohammad Hafeez<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"> backed up his good day with the ball with a fine fifty in the first One-Day International (ODI) against </span>Sri Lanka<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">. Chasing a score of 256, Hafeez brought up his 26th ODI half-century. </span><a href="http://www.cricketcountry.com/cricket-scores/Pakistan-tour-of-Sri-Lanka-2015/Live-Score-2nd-ODI-Match/Sri-Lanka-Vs-Pakistan/summary/14773" style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0096d4; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Live Cricket Scorecard: Sri Lanka vs Pakistan 2015, 2nd ODI here</span></a></span></div>

<br />
Growing up, the best part about Ramadan was eating way too much lentil soup with my family and catching up on the latest episode of our favorite series, "Bab Al-Hara." Today, living more than 1900 miles away from my family, I rely on technology to get close with them during Ramadan. Whether it’s sharing moments on Hangouts, my sister sending me pictures of the iftar spread of the day, or receiving an avalanche of recipes from my mother for me to save and try out, technology helps us stay connected and celebrate Ramadan together even when away. <br />
<br />
In fact, technology helps more than 200 million Muslims living away from their families connect and share moments with loved ones. People look to Maps to navigate traffic and make it home from work for Iftar, download Google Play apps to plan their day around the sunset and sunrise, and look up Ramadan opening hours of their favorite local shops and restaurants.<br />

This post comes to us from Sylvia Earle, marine biologist and Explorer-in-Residence at National Geographic and the host of the first week of Camp Google. Tune in to Sylvia’s <a href="https://camp.withgoogle.com/?utm_source=googleblog&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=google">live event at 12 p.m. PT</a> today</i>. -Ed.<br />
<br />
The ocean first got my attention during a family visit to a New Jersey beach when I was three years old—a wave knocked me over! At age 12, a move to the Florida coast made the ocean my backyard, and I loved the abundance of life there—every day I encountered new creatures like starfish, sponges, horseshoe crabs, seaweed, and a wondrous array of small fish that I’d never seen before. I knew from then on that when I grew up I would be a scientist so I could keep exploring, no matter what.<br />
<br />
Now I get to share my love for the ocean with a new generation of adventurers as part of Camp Google, a new online camp for curious kids, starting. During each of the four weeks of Camp Google, kids 7-10 can explore different subjects by joining live adventures—from the depths of the Atlantic to the top of one of the world’s most active volcanoes—and doing fun science projects. Today at 12 p.m. PT, National Geographic diver Erika Bergman and I will take kids on the first adventure—a <a href="http://camp.withgoogle.com/?utm_source=googleblog&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=google">live dive</a> in the Atlantic Ocean. We’ll head to the northernmost part of Florida Reef Tract, the most extensive living coral reef system in North America. Whether it be the Hammerhead Reef or shipwrecks like the Jay Scutti, it will be exciting to see what we’ll find down there!<br />
<br />
After the dive, kids can get hands-on with a range of activities to help them understand the science behind what they’ve seen underwater. The activities are designed by the Google engineers who map the oceans with Google Earth, and can be done with simple household supplies. For example, we’ll <a href="https://camp.withgoogle.com/activities/week1/why-do-some-things-float?utm_source=googleblog&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=google">learn about buoyancy</a> and how things float in the ocean in an experiment with eggs, water and salt, and we’ll explore how dolphins use sounds to see underwater by <a href="https://camp.withgoogle.com/activities/week1/how-do-dolphins-see-underwater?utm_source=googleblog&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=google">building a sonar system</a>. As kids complete these projects, they’ll earn camp badges to celebrate the new skills they learned, like conquering echolocation (not bad for summer vacation!). The activities are designed for kids to do on their own, in groups with their friends, or with their families. <br />
<br />
Following Ocean Week, kids can jump into Space Week with a NASA astronaut and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Vsauce">VSauce</a> where they will help cook up space food and learn how astronauts eat in space. After that, they’ll head to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park with a National Park Ranger and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/1veritasium">Derek Muller</a> to learn more about how volcanoes form. And camp ends in style with Music Week, where kids can jam alongside <a href="http://zendaya.com/">Zendaya</a> to learn about why music makes us want to bust a move. We hosts can't wait to explore with you this summer, wherever you might be!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

The ocean is vast and a lot of it is unexplored—every time I dive into the ocean there’s the possibility of finding something new. I’m excited to share this spirit of discovery with kids everywhere this summer. I hope through our dive and the rest of Camp Google, we can inspire kids to continue asking questions... and get out there to find answers. <br />

Let’s kick off the trending topics on Google this week:<br /><br /><b>Victory for the U.S. women</b><br />The U.S. Women’s National team claimed a 5-2 victory over Japan in the final of the World Cup this week, and took home a slew of searches along with their trophy. In fact, U.S. search interest in the final match surpassed interest in Game 6 of this year’s NBA Finals! Keeper <a href="http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends?stt=Hope+Solo&std=20150705&pn=p1#a=20150705-Hope+Solo">Hope Solo</a> and forward <a href="http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends?stt=Alex+Morgan&std=20150705&pn=p1#a=20150705-Alex+Morgan">Alex Morgan</a> topped the trends charts on Sunday with more than 1 million and 500,000+ searches, respectively. But people were also interested in <a href="http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=carli%20lloyd&cmpt=q&tz=Etc%2FGMT%2B7">midfielder Carli Lloyd</a>, who scored a hat trick in the final, including one goal from midfield that sent searches for “carli lloyd goal” spiking more than 1,000 percent. The team was honored with a <a href="http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends?stt=ticker+tape+parade&std=20150710&pn=p1#a=20150710-ticker+tape+parade">ticker-tape parade</a> in New York City today. <br /><br /><b>Ground to a halt</b><br />Wednesday, a slew of technical issues caused trouble across the U.S., starting with United Airlines. A network outage grounded planes for more than an hour, affecting <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2015/07/08/news/companies/united-flights-grounded-computer/index.html">almost 5,000 flights</a>, and frustrated travelers turned to Google to learn more, making the airline the top searched term on Wednesday with <a href="http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends?stt=United+Airlines&std=20150708&pn=p1#a=20150708-United+Airlines">more than 1 million searches</a>. Meanwhile, trading was suspended for hours at the New York Stock Exchange after a software glitch. Top questions during the outage included “How many times has the NYSE closed?” and “When was the last time the NYSE suspended trading?” Completing the triumvirate of tech troubles, the Wall Street Journal’s website crashed this week as well. The (sort of?) good news is that the three incidents seem to be unrelated to each other—or to hackers.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz3bUjZGhkB1G2fbtOC9exDYJxJZbQizVO5xg5V1prEFf95s7xKMDaCuDeneiV38p_a7JAscpBkKCZpQjvS5BXhybNiEAxuH8fwdRuHSnAOrUjvOZNgCP-Um1nVlI3THjgDaOhRNwOx8Q/s1600/NYSE.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz3bUjZGhkB1G2fbtOC9exDYJxJZbQizVO5xg5V1prEFf95s7xKMDaCuDeneiV38p_a7JAscpBkKCZpQjvS5BXhybNiEAxuH8fwdRuHSnAOrUjvOZNgCP-Um1nVlI3THjgDaOhRNwOx8Q/s550/NYSE.png" width="550" /></a></div>From plane delays to train delays: In the U.K. Thursday, a strike by London Underground workers caused the first complete shutdown of the Tube in over a decade. As Londoners trudged home or crowded into buses, searchers asked “How much do tube drivers earn?” The strike was over a failed agreement about pay and a new “night Tube” service scheduled to start running in September.<br /><br /><b>Comic-Con</b><br />The annual Comic-Con International started yesterday, bringing comic, superhero and sci-fi fans together in San Diego, Calif. for a long weekend of panels, events and other celebrations of all things (proud) nerd. The top Comic-Con topics this week include “Doctor Who” and the new “Black Ops III: Zombies” video game, but there are <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/8/8910817/sdcc-2015-dates-event-schedule">movie trailers and TV show previews</a> to appeal to even the least geeky among us.

Big technology companies such as Google employ relatively
few people and pay little tax, in the tradition of multinational
companies.<br />
At first blush, the arrival of digital
currencies like bitcoin would seem to spell more in the way of gutting
existing industries, in this case payments and financial services.<br />
IBTimes recently spoke with Coinsilium, a hybrid venture capital and business growth consultancy which nurtures a stable of early-stage blockchain innovations.<br />
It
aims to be the first publicly listed firm to offer investors exposure
to a basket of start-ups using distributed ledger technology in a range
of applications.<br />
Executive chairman Cameron Parry
believes there's a realm of possibilities that cannot yet be seen that
will be "maybe 10 years in the future".<br />
<br />
"The big way to go has always been advertising – you built up
subscribers and then advertising was the route to revenues. But as more
people use mobile devices you can't actually fit a lot of the ads on
this, so that advertising dollar is diminishing. At the moment Coinsilium has 10 investees, in which it holds ownership
in the range of 5% and 20%. In terms of what's hot, Parry mentioned two
areas, which are interestingly at either end of a socio-economic
spectrum: monitising internet content using nanopayments and
facilitating transactions for the unbanked.<br />
<br />
"I think we're a bit far away from the example where people could just
spontaneously pick up a broom and self-organise in a street-cleaning
coop where residents would validate a 'proof of clean driveway' but the
concept is valid.

An onlooker then reported the mysterious appearance of the hole to a Coastguard near Orcombe Point. The National Maritime Operations Center immediately dispatched a team to cordon off the area for safety.</div>

The square cordon of 100 meters was placed around the snail-spewing hole measured at 15ft by 15ft (4.6m by 4.6m). Smaller holes were also starting to appear around the bigger, mysterious hole.</div>

A civil engineer from the East Devon District Council (EDDC) also arrived at the scene and thought it necessary to enlarge the cordon because of the possibility that the hole may have a chamber underneath, much larger than previously thought. The Coastguard team also noted that the sands around the big hole were soft.</div>

Think of the possibilities if a modern writer, staying true to Puccini’s music, were to update the story to reflect what we know today about tuberculosis. Mimi once again would be in Rodolfo’s arms. They have just heard from the doctor. Her tuberculosis is now curable. With proper medical management, prescriptions, and plenty of warm sunshine, Mimi will live a long and happy life. Their present poverty won’t stand in the way. They can sign up for France’s cost-free national health insurance. And, although he doesn’t yet know it, Rodolfo’s poetry will make him famous and prosperous. As the good health news rolls in, they sing a radiant duet. Rodolfo sings Puccini’s version of, “I’m gonna build a little home for two or three or more, in Love Land, for me and my gal.” Mimi beams at him, her illness is gone. They gaze at a bright, warm sunset as he sings, “Mimi! Mimi!” and smothers her with kisses.</div>

There has been a lot of speculations about actress Priyamani's status
and her marriage. Rumour has it that the actress may get married soon.
She also hinted at her marriage plans on popular Malayalam dance reality
show "D2 - D4 Dance", in which she is a judge.<br />
In the latest episode of "D2 - D4 Dance", which was aired on 5 July
(Sunday) in Malayalam channel Mazhavil Manorama, Priyamani revealed that
she is in love with someone for the past four years. The actress also
shared that her special person is from Mumbai and she got close to him
during CCL matches, when she was the brand ambassador of one of the
participating teams.<br />
Although the actress is yet to announce other details about her
marriage, the teaser of the show's upcoming episode revealed that the
actress will announce her fiancé's name and also share his picture in
the special episode that will be aired on 10 July (Friday).<br />
The actress has also added that her fiancé will join her at the grand finale of the second season of "D2 - D4 Dance".<br />
Meanwhile, the film industry is abuzz with rumours of the actress
being in a relationship with Mumbai-based businessman Mustafa Raj. In a
recent interview with leading Malayalam magazine Vanitha, the actress
said that she had found her special someone and will announce the
details soon.<br />
"To be frank, I could fall in love only with a guy who keeps me in
comfort zone and be my best friend. I thought I would never find someone
like that but I did. My family also know about my relationship and I
can't say nothing much about it now," said the actress in the interview.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755525199403763128.post-44794172382774286852015-07-05T03:04:00.000-07:002015-07-05T03:04:27.972-07:00I consider Dark Tourism, in a comparative persective<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Visitors walk past barracks at Auschwitz, which house exhibits<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I've been in Charleston, SC, for the past four months, teaching this semester as the Distinguished Visiting Chair in Jewish Studies at the College of Charleston.<br /><br />During my stay, I've begun to consider parallels -- and dissonances -- between the way Jewish heritage and history, including the Holocaust, are presented in Eastern Europe and the way African American (including slave) history and heritage are presented in the Charleston area.<br /><br />Here's a brief essay I wrote, for the web site of the Drayton Hall plantation, exploring some of the issues.<br /><br /><br /><br /> More than 20 years ago I wrote a book called Upon the Doorposts of Thy House: Jewish Life in East-Central Europe, Yesterday and Today. The title referred to the mezuzah—the encased prayer scroll Jews place on their doorposts, indicating a house as the home of a Jew.<br /><br /> In post-Holocaust Europe you could often find the grooves or scars where mezuzahs had been removed or painted over during or after the Shoah—thus forming symbolic mezuzahs that indicated a house where Jews once lived. In my book, I extrapolated further, suggesting that the surviving physical relics of pre-war Jewish life—synagogue buildings, Jewish cemeteries, even if abandoned, in ruined condition or transformed for other use, also served as symbolic mezuzahs to mark towns, villages, cities, and even countries where Jews once lived and do not live now.<br /><br /> My intent was to show how buildings and other physical sites can be talismans and touchstones, opening the way into memory and history.<br /><br /> George McDaniel made this same idea explicit in his introduction to the panel of Drayton Hall descendants. “History did not happen to someone, somewhere else, but to you,” he said. “You grow up a product of history. Preserving buildings means also preserving the story behind the buildings, making a connection with people. Why is a place important? How do you feel connected?”<br /><br /> From the Jewish perspective, visiting Jewish historical sites in post-Holocaust, post-Communist Europe can be a very positive experience, emphasizing Jewish life, history and culture; but the experience also falls under what is now known as Dark Tourism—tourism to sites of what we can call “negative” history, “negative” experience: death, destruction, war.<br /><br /> Sites of slavery also fall under Dark Tourism, though this aspect of a historic site (such as a plantation or genteel antebellum home) often becomes masked, elided, or simply footnoted in the presentation of beautiful buildings and gardens for tourist consumption.<br /><br /> Much of this boils down to “who controls the narrative”—and to whom is the narrative directed: issues that we have been dealing with in the class I have been teaching, “Memory, Heritage, Renewal.” Although the main focus of our class is Jewish heritage and memory and their role and representation in Europe, we have been able to draw parallels with the way that African American heritage, history, and culture are presented here in Charleston and the Lowcountry.<br /><br /> I was delighted that students from my class were in attendance at the panel presentation featuring the descendants of Drayton Hall, as the discussion clearly demonstrated the parallels we have been dealing with, touching on issues such as the point of view of interpretation and interpreters; messages and signage; how the same place can have different symbolic meanings and generate different memories for different people.<br /><br /> I found particularly compelling a part of the film about Drayton Hall’s African American descendants that parallels the post-Holocaust Jewish experience in Europe. People were filmed sitting in the African American cemetery at Drayton Hall, speaking about how many of the deceased buried there had no markers for their graves, no one to talk about their history. In Eastern Europe, when I visit an abandoned Jewish cemetery, I often ponder the fact that most of the thousands and thousands of people buried in these places are also forgotten, with no descendants to tend their graves or even remember who they were.<br /><br /> Drayton is not alone in trying to present a more inclusive past in the plantation context. Boone Hall has installed an extensive presentation on slavery and African American history centered on the nine preserved slave cabins there. Magnolia Gardens features special programs to bring to life its recently renovated row of cabins. And Middleton Place, which I have not yet visited, presents a permanent exhibit titled “Beyond the Fields” in a two-family tenant residence called Eliza’s House, in memory of Eliza Leach, a South Carolina African American born in 1891, and the last person to live in the building. The much less elaborate Hampton Plantation also incorporates the site’s slave history in well researched text panels, both in the Big House and along the path leading to it.<br /><br /> After the Drayton Hall panel, I was excited to visit McLeod Plantation with Mary Battle, public historian at the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture, and her class. McLeod, which served as local headquarters of the Freedman’s Bureau following the Civil War, has the potential to interpret not only slave life but the postwar experience of the newly freed men and women. McLeod’s signage uses a phrase that could be the site’s “slogan”—describing it as a place of both “tragedy and transcendence.” I found it interesting that this formulation echoes what we sometimes call sites of Jewish heritage in Europe—“sites of tragedy and sites of triumph.”Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755525199403763128.post-68216529633640594552015-07-05T02:20:00.000-07:002015-07-05T02:20:32.221-07:00Argentina vs Paraguay Copa America semifinal - 30-06-2015<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on">

Argentina team reached this semifinal through a penalty shoot-out with Colombia as they drew 0-0 in normal time. The Albiceleste have scored just four goals in as many games and Lionel Messi has netted only once. Tata Martino's men will face Paraguay for the second time in this year's competition in Concepcion on Tuesday after drawing 2-2 in the group stages.<br />
Tata Martino has the luxury of a fully fit squad to choose from and we expect him to name an unchanged XI from the one that overcame Colombia last time out. That would see Messi, DI Maria and Aguero up front with Lavezzi, Higuain and tevez on the bench.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
After the 2-2 draw against Argentina in their opening game, Paraguay have since continued to defy expectations, drawing with Uruguay in the group stages and beating Brazil on penalties in the quarter-finals after the game finished at 1-1 in 90 minutes and extra time failed to produce a winner. Ramon Diaz's team is a tough one but the only time Paraguay have had their noses in front in this tournament came in a 1-0 over Jamaica in their other Group B match.<br />
Paraguay will be without injured midfielder Nestor Ortigoza and will have to wait on the recovery of defender Miguel Samudio. Ramon Diaz could name an unchanged side from the one that knocked Brazil out on penalties. Richard Ortiz is available after serving suspension, but is not expected to feature form the off.<br />
Argentina have won 3 and drawn 1 of their last 4 against the Paraguayans. Furthermore, Messi & co. have won 9 and drawn 1 of 12 matches since Gerardo Martino assumed control of the team in the autumn of last year.</div>

<b>Competition:</b> Copa America - 2015 in Chile, Group A<br />
<b>Match date:</b> 19 June 2015<br />
<b>Kick Off Time:</b> 22:00 BST<br />
<b>Venue:</b> Estadio <span class="match-icon stadium-name">El Teniente (Rancagua, Chile, Republic of) </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="match-icon stadium-name">Mexico team have stuck up two draws so far in the group, a goalless draw against Bolivia and a 3-3 against Chile. The Mexicans have now won just one of their last six games played, which was a 3-0 win over Guatemala. In their eight previous Copa America campaigns, the Mexicans have only failed to advance beyond the group stages once. It’s likely that a draw here would be enough for Mexico to go through as one of the two best third placed finishers.<br /><b></b>Mexico are expected to be without Marquez for this match. Adrian Aldrete has joined the former Barcelona's dfender on the sidelines. Matias Vuoso scored twice in the thrilling draw with Chile last time out and he is expected to partner Raul Jimenez up front.<br />Ecuador have been playing below expectations at the tournament in Chile. They opened the tournament with a 2-0 defeat against Chile and then suffered a second defeat, a 3-2 loss at the hands of Bolivia. They ave to beat Mexico and hope results go their way elsewhere if they are to avoid exiting the tournament.<br />Gustavo Quinteros could opt for a similar looking XI. Gabriel Achiller has overcome his injury and he is widely expected to keep his place in the starting XI. Juan Cazares and Renato Ibarra were introduced at the interval lasttime out and could start here.<br />These two sides have met on 22 previous occasions and Mexico have won 16 times while Ecuador only twice. They last met in a friendly earlier in the year when Chicharito Hernandez scored the only goal of the game.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Croatia team top the qualification group having recorded four wins from five matches during the first half of the group. Since last year's World Cup, Kovac's men have suffered just one defeat in 8 matches - a 2-1 defeat to Argentina. The reverse match in November finished in a 1-1 draw, with Ivan Perisic and Antonio Candreva on the scoreline. In the last fixture, Croatia have crushed Norway 5-1 in Zagreb back in March.<br />
<b></b>Rakitic should be recovered in time for the match while Luka Modric is missing because of a knee injury. Milan Badelj and Anas Sharbini are in contention to replace Real Madrid's midfielder while Kovacic is expected to be benched. Domagoj Vida may line up alongside Vedran Corluka at the heart of the defence. Perisic and Olic will support Mandzukic up front.<br />
Italy also have an unbeaten record since bowing out of Brazil 2014 during the group stages. Conte’s side opened their Group H campaign impressively with 3 consecutive wins against Norway, Azerbaijan and Malta. The Azzurri drew the following two matches. A late equaliser saved their blushes in a 2-2 draw with Bulgaria last time out and as consequence they sit second in the Group H, two points behind their opponents.<br />
Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli, Simone Zaza and Luca Antonelli are all on the sidelines and Inter's central back Ranocchia is set to partner Leonardo Bonucci in defense. PSG's Verratti has left the team with an ankle injury and will miss the match. Up-front, Conte will play with Graziano Pellè as central striker with Candreva and El Shaarawy on the flanks.<br />
Croatia have never lost a European Championship qualification tie on home soil. Furthermore, Italy have won just one of their eight direct matches with Croatia, their first encounter back in 1942. But the Azzurri are unbeaten in their last 45 European Championship and World Cup qualification fixtures.</div>

<h3>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The economics problem: needs and wants.</span></b></h3>
</div>
<div>
Basically, all humans have <b>needs </b>and <b>wants</b>. Needs are things we <b>can't </b>live without, while wants are simply our desires that we <b>can </b>live without. We all have <b>unlimited wants</b>, which is true, since all of us want a new PC, a car, new graphics card, etc. that we actually do not need to live. Businesses produce <b>goods </b>and <b>services </b>to satisfy needs and wants.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Although we have unlimited wants, there are not enough <b>resources </b>for everyone. Resources can be split into 4 <b>factors of production</b>, which are:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- <b>Land</b>: All natural resources used to make a product or service.</div>
<div>
<b> </b>- <b>Labour</b>: The effort of workers required to make a product or service.</div>
<div>
- <b>Capital</b>: Finance, machinery and equipment required to make a product or service.</div>
<div>
- <b>Enterprise</b>: Skill and risk-taking ability of the <b>entrepreneur</b>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Entrepreneurs </b>are people who <b>combine </b>these factors of production to make a product.<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With these discussed, lets move on to the <b>economic problem</b>. The economic problem results from <b>limited resources </b>and <b>unlimited wants</b>. This situation causes <b>scarcity</b>, when there are not enough goods to satisfy the wants for everybody. Because of this, we will have to <b>choose </b>which wants we will satisfy (that will be of more benefit to us) and which we will not when buying things. For any choice, you will have to would have obtained if you didn't spend that money. For example, you would have got a book if you didn't buy the pen, or you would have a burger if you didn't buy the chips. Basically, item that you didn't buy is the <b>opportunity cost</b>. Make sure that the opportunity cost isn't higher than what you bought!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b></b><br />
<blockquote>
<b>"Opportunity cost</b>: the next best alternative given up by choosing another item.<b>"</b></blockquote>
Here is a diagram showing the whole economic problem:</div>

</div>
<div>
<b>Division of labour/Specialisation</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
Because there are limited resources, we need to use them the most efficient way possible. Therefore, we now use production methods that are as fast as possible and as <b>efficient </b>(costs less, earns more) as possible. The main production method that we are using nowadays is known as <b>specialization</b>, or division of labour.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b></b><b></b><br />
<blockquote>
<b>"Division of Labour/Specialisation</b> is when the production process is split up into different tasks and each specialized worker/ machine performs one of these tasks.<b>"</b></blockquote>
<b></b><br />
<blockquote>
<b></b></blockquote>
</div>
<div>
<b>Pros:</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><u>Specialized</u> workers are good at one task and increases efficiency and output.</li>
<li><u>Less time is wasted</u> switching jobs by the individual.</li>
<li><u>Machinery</u> also helps all jobs and can be operated 24/7.</li>
</ul>
<b>Cons</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><u>Boredom</u> from doing the same job lowers efficiency.</li>
<li>No <u>flexibility</u> because workers can only do one job and cannot do others well if needed.</li>
<li>If one worker is absent and no-one can replace him, the production process <u>stops</u>.</li>
</ul>
<b>Why is business activity needed? (summary)</b></div>
<div>
- Provides goods and services from limited resources to satisfy unlimited wants.</div>
<div>
- Scarcity results from limited resources and unlimited wants.</div>
<div>
- Choice is necessary for scarce resources. This leads to opportunity costs.</div>
<div>
- Specialisation is required to make the most out of resources.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Business activity:</b></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Combine factors of production to create goods and services.</li>
<li>Goods and services satisfy peoples wants.</li>
<li>Employs people and pays them wages so they can consume other products.</li>
</ol>
</div>

<div>
<b>Business Objectives:</b></div>
<div>
All businesses have aims or objectives to achieve. Their aims can vary depending on their type of business or these can change depending on situations. The most common objectives are:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><b>Profit:</b> Profit is what keeps a company going and is the main aim of most businesses. Normally a business will try to obtain a <i><u>satisfactory level of profits</u></i> so they do not have to work long hours or pay too much tax.</li>
<li><b>Increase added value</b><b>:</b><b style="font-weight: normal;"> Value added is the difference between the price and material costs of a product. E.g. If the price when selling a pen is $3 and it costs $1 in material, the value added would be $2. However, this does not take into account overheads and taxes. Added value could be increased by working on products so that they become more expensive finished products. One easy example of this is a mobile phone with a camera would sell for much more than one without it. Of course, you will need to pay for the extra camera but as long as <u>prices rise more than costs</u>, you get more profit.</b></li>
<li><b>Growth: </b>Growth can only be achieved when customers are satisfied with a business. When businesses grow they create more jobs and make them more secure when a business is larger. The status and salary of managers are increased. Growth also means that a business is able to spread risks by moving to other markets, or it is gaining a larger market share. Bigger businesses also gain cost advantages, called <u>economies of scale</u>.</li>
<li><b>Survival:</b><b style="font-weight: normal;"> If a business do not survive, its owners lose everything. Therefore, businesses need to focus on this objective the most when they are: <u>starting up</u>, <u>competing with other businesses</u>, or in an <u>economic recession</u>.</b></li>
<li><b>Service to the community: </b>This is the primary goal for most government owned businesses. They plan to produce essential products to everybody who need them. </li>
</ol>
These business objectives can conflict because different people in a business want different things at different times.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Stakeholders:</b></div>
<div>
Stakeholders are a person or a group which has interest in a business for various reasons and will be directly affected by its decisions. Stakeholders also have different objectives and these also conflict over time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are two 6 types of stakeholders, and these types can be classified into two groups with similar interests.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Group 1: Profit/Money</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><u>Owners:</u></li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Profit, return on capital.</li>
<li>Growth, increase in value of business.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><u>Workers</u></li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>High salaries.</li>
<li>Job security.</li>
<li>Job satisfaction.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><u>Managers</u></li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>High salaries.</li>
<li>Job security.</li>
<li>Growth of business so they get more power, status, and salary.</li>
</ol>
<b>Group 2: Value</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><u>Customers</u></li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Safe products.</li>
<li>High quality.</li>
<li>Value for money.</li>
<li>Reliability of service and maintenance.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><u>Government</u></li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Employment.</li>
<li>Taxes.</li>
<li>National output/GDP increase.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><u>Community</u></li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Employment.</li>
<li>Security.</li>
<li>Business does not pollute the environment.</li>
<li>Safe products that are socially responsible.</li>
</ol>
</div>
