Thought of quitting after Rio disappointment: Mirabai Chanu
New Delhi, Dec 8 (PTI) Newly-crowned weightlifting world champion Saikhom Mirabai Chanu says she thought of quitting the sport after receiving flak for her failure to win a medal at the Rio Olympics.”I was really low after the Olympics. It took me a lot of time to get over the disappointment. I even thought of giving up the sport and stop training. The comments in social media, the criticism against my coach really hurt me,” said Chanu, who recently became the second Indian after Karnam Malleswari to win a World Championship gold medal at the worlds.”I was thinking day and night how to get things right. I decided to do better than what I was doing because I knew that is the only way to stop people from talking. That was the only way to get over the hurt.”The 23-year-old from Manipur clinched Indias first gold at World Weightlifting Championship in 22 years after lifting a new world record of 194kg ? 85kg snatch and 109kg clean- and-jerk at Anaheim, USA last month.Chanu said she had to work on her technique and go for regular sessions with a psychologist to get over the loss and answer her detractors.”I did really bad at the Olympics. I had failed in clean and jerk, so I discussed with my coach about it and brought few changes in my technique during the training,” she said with a smile.”My psychologist also played a big role. I used to go to my psychologist twice in a month but after the Olympics I started taking sessions every week and it really helped me.”advertisementTalking about the dope tests, Chanu said: “Every week, I am tested for doping by NADA and WADA takes my samples twice a month. After reaching Las Vegas, my blood and urine samples were taken and again it was collected during the championship also, so it was collected twice in a month.”Looking back at her Rio Games performance, Chanu said the big stage got to her and she became nervous when her turn came as an Olympic medal slipped through her fingers.”I had really bad luck in Olympics. I could have won a medal. At the Olympic trial I had scored 192, if I could have done that I would have won a silver but I couldnt. It was my first Olympics and I got nervous,” she said.Crestfallen after the Olympics, Chanu did not go home and decided to work on her clean and jerk at the National camp in Patiala, but the Indian hopes to visit her native place early next year.”I will play at Railways event from December 11 and then there is National Championship in January. After that, I will speak to coach and hope to go home,” she said.Now that she has erased the ignominy of the Rio Olympics, Chanu has her eyes trained on the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games next year.”It was my dream to win a gold at World Championship. Now that I have achieved it, my target is to win a medal at Commonwealth Games, Asian Games and 2020 Olympics,” she signed off.Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWLF) president Birendra Prasad Baishya said Mirabais performance is proof of Indias commitment towrads making weightlifting a dope-free sport.”At a time when top countries such as China, Turkey, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan are banned for doping, Chanu showed how to win with honour,” Baishya said.”WADA tested her 15 times and NADA collected samples 30 times. It means in the last four years, there has been 45 tests in her and I congratulate her that all were negative.”Earlier our image was bad due to dope cases but now our federation is dope free. Our aim was to make weightlifting dope free and our coaches and lifter made it possible.”Baishya hoped India will win as many as 16 medals at the Commonwealth Games in April next year.”Commonwealth Games is knocking at the door and already 16 Indian lifters have qualified. I feel we may get 16 medals, which would be the highest ever tally.” PTI ATK AH AH
GENEVA (AP) — Lionel Messi is banned from Argentina’s next four World Cup qualifying games, dealing a blow to a campaign by the 2014 runner-up that has stuttered without him.Messi’s suspension for “having directed insulting words at an assistant referee” during a home qualifier against Chile last week, started Tuesday in Bolivia, where his teammates were due to kick off hours after FIFA announced its verdict.The five-time FIFA player of the year can appeal to FIFA, but is on track to return for Argentina’s final match in the 10-team South American qualifying group, hosting Ecuador on Oct. 10.“We have to appeal this decision, we’ll see how it goes,” said Jorge Miadosqui, Argentina’s national teams director. “But we’re left angry and sad because (Messi) will not be with the team.”Argentina has relied on its captain Messi to move up to third place in a group where the top four qualify for the tournament in Russia. The fifth-place team will enters a playoff in November, likely against New Zealand.Messi has scored in four qualifiers so far, with Argentina going on to win every game. Without him, though, Argentina has earned only seven points out of a possible 21.The 1978 and 1986 world champion is now only two points ahead of sixth place, currently held by Chile.In this photo taken March 23, 2017 Argentina’s Lionel Messi gestures during a 2018 Russia World Cup qualifying soccer match between Argentina and Chile at the Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires. (AP Photo/Agustin Marcarian)After facing last-place Bolivia, Argentina will travel to play Uruguay on Aug. 31. Then it has two home games against struggling sides: Venezuela on Sept. 5 and Peru on Oct. 5.It was close to a must-win match last Thursday when Argentina hosted Chile, the team it lost to in the Copa America finals of 2015 and 2016Argentina won 1-0 after Messi scored with a first-half penalty at the vibrant Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires, but he lost his cool in the closing minutes.Messi reacted angrily when a decision went against him and aimed a volley of profane abuse at the assistant. He refused to shake hands with the official after the match.FIFA could intervene as the incident was not initially reported by the Brazilian referee. It was judged a red-card offense for Messi.“This decision is in line with the FIFA Disciplinary Committee’s previous rulings in similar cases,” said the world soccer body, which also fined Messi 10,000 Swiss francs ($10,160).Messi and the Argentine soccer federation can challenge the ban at FIFA’s appeals committee. It rarely overturns disciplinary rulings, though it could reduce the number of games he must miss.A subsequent appeal does not currently seem possible to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. FIFA’s legal statutes do not grant jurisdiction to the Swiss-based CAS in “appeals arising from … suspensions of up to four matches.”The Messi ban adds further turmoil to the embattled Argentina soccer federation, which is currently being run by an emergency committee appointed by FIFA last June.A previous generation of Argentine soccer leaders were implicated in corruption and indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2015, and subsequent federation elections were disputed. New elections are scheduled this week.The interim federation leader questioned FIFA’s judgment Tuesday.“I think it’s unusual because it will set a precedent that will decide the future of many things,” Armando Perez told Argentina’s TyC Sports channel. “I think it’s too sensitive for something like this. They should have reasoned or contemplated this is in another way.“Four games is too much.”Messi’s behavior and ban could affect his chances of winning FIFA’s best player award for 2017, even if his club Barcelona wins the Champions League.FIFA guidance to voters is that on- and off-field conduct should be taken into account.Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are in a career-long duel for the game’s most prestigious prize, and the Portugal and Real Madrid forward won his fourth FIFA award in January to draw within one of his great rival.In a stark contrast for soccer’s global stars, Messi has been shamed this week while Ronaldo was rewarded with the airport in his home island of Madeira being named in his honor.TweetPinShare0 Shares

Arsenal Wenger ‘can’t trust Ozil any more’ amid pushing for Arsenal exit, says Keown Chris Burton Last updated 2 years ago 16:39 28/9/2017 FacebookTwitterRedditcopy Comments(0) 
Getty Arsenal Mesut Özil Premier League Arsène Wenger The World Cup winner started Monday’s Premier League meeting with West Brom on the bench, with his value and commitment now being questioned Mesut Ozil looks to be pushing for a move away from Arsenal and can no longer be trusted by Arsene Wenger, says Martin Keown.The Germany international has been a regular throughout his time at Emirates Stadium, with the Gunners having invested around £42.5 million in luring him away from Real Madrid in 2013.Arsenal 13/2 to beat Bate 2-0 Article continues below Editors’ Picks Why Barcelona god Messi will never be worshipped in the same way in Argentina Lyon treble & England heartbreak: The full story behind Lucy Bronze’s dramatic 2019 Liverpool v Man City is now the league’s biggest rivalry and the bitterness is growing Megan Rapinoe: Born & brilliant in the U.S.A. The 28-year-old has been a regular source of assists down the years, but his value as a luxury playmaker has been questioned at times.Having also entered the final 12 months of his current contract, Keown believes that the World Cup winner could now be phased out – with a slight knock keeping him out of a recent trip to Chelsea, before only being named on the bench for Monday’s Premier League meeting with West Brom.Former Gunners defender Keown told Radio 5 Live during that contest: “Ozil is the one I wouldn’t trust as much mentally, and I believe he’s not playing tonight because the gaffer really can’t trust him any more.“I think it’s a huge story that Ozil doesn’t play tonight.
“If you look at their pre-seasons, Ozil wasn’t in the German squad in the summer, he came back on the very first day of pre-season, and didn’t then start the season, there was a bit of suspicion around him.“Last year he went missing for a couple of months and I think that’s his tactic in terms of getting away from the football club.“I don’t know, but I have a feeling that he’s going to take his reliability away from selection.”Ozil now faces a fight to recapture a starting berth, with Arsenal having looked more resolute in picking up back-to-back clean sheets against Chelsea and West Brom.They also shut out Doncaster in the Carabao Cup and are now unbeaten in five outings since the international break – winning four of those games.Wenger’s side are next in action in the Europa League on Thursday, when they face BATE in Belarus.

Giovani dos Santos scored the winner as World Cup-bound Mexico ended their drought with a 1-0 win over Scotland in an international friendly at the Azteca.Mexico had failed to score in their past two winless matches following Monday’s goalless draw against Wales in California but Dos Santos ensured the hosts were back among the goals and winners on Saturday.Dos Santos scored his 19th international goal when his perfectly placed shot from just inside the box found the bottom corner of the net, having combined with Carlos Vela in the 13th minute.

zoom New shipping alliances set to come into effect next week will lead to a shortage of options for freight forwarders, online freight forwarder iContainers said.Starting April 1 the previous four alliances will be regrouped to three, namely THE Alliance, Ocean Alliance and 2M. The effect of this new reshuffle is a reduction of shipping options, according to Carlos Hernández, the co-founder of iContainers.Already the industry has been left one player short following the collapse of South Korean liner Hanjin Shipping. With the new groupings there will be even fewer players in the market.“Given the sharing of vessels and routes, this basically translated into multiple carriers having the exact same schedule. Instead of having seven or eight carriers offering a sailing of their own, we will perhaps only be getting three,” Hernández said, adding that this means having fewer alternatives when customers need to meet certain deadlines.The three new alliances represent 77.2% of global container capacity and 96% of all East-West trades. Of them, Ocean Alliance offers the most services, with some 40 loops. THE Alliance follows with 32 services and 2M with 25.According to Hernández, the shipping industry can expect to see changes in the traditional patterns it is used to seeing, but that it “will shake things up a little and we can see a healthier industry again.”

These include shipping companies, including Danish shipping major, Maersk, tanker operator Heidmar, and PTC Holdings Corp. Also included are technology enablers Hanseaticsoft, maritime platforms providers Navozyme and C-LOG, as well as international seafarer welfare charity The Mission to Seafarers.The demonstrator scope will focus on an end-to-end demonstration of a digital certification and endorsement process utilising a digital repository for verified crew documentation, training logs and approval system.Specifically, the focus will be upon the STCW certificate issuance and relevant supporting documentation from engineering officers located in multiple jurisdictions and the endorsement of recognition from a maritime authority for vessel embarkation and disembarkation.Upon validation and scaling, the final solution would enable individual seafarers to manage their certificate repository from original issuance, for maritime administrations to manage the renewal and endorsement across jurisdictions, for crew management organizations to manage seafarers for crewing of vessels and for vessel owners to receive an overview of their crew, certificates and endorsements.“Building and maintaining an intuitive and user-friendly platform for the management of crew certification will bring hugely significant benefits to all stakeholders. We are looking forward to developing and building the solutions with the consortium,” Graeme Thomson, Head of Northern Europe Manning Office from Maersk, said.

WASHINGTON, United States of America – The Canadian charm offensive in advance of NAFTA renegotiations will play out at one more venue before talks begin, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attending a gathering next week of several dozen U.S. state governors.The prime minister will deliver a speech to more than 30 governors at the Rhode Island gathering of the National Governors Association and is expected to participate in less formal events like discussion forums.This year’s annual gathering has two themes: technology and trade — and it’s the latter that will be of particularly pressing interest to Canada’s government.The gathering comes just a few days before the Trump administration is expected to publish its negotiating positions for a new North American Free Trade Agreement — a public statement required under an agreement with Congress.After that, negotiations are slated to begin between the U.S., Mexico and Canada in about a month.“I am thrilled to welcome Prime Minister Trudeau to our summer meeting,” said the chair of the governors’ association, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe. “I know my fellow governors will agree that our relationship with Canada is essential to our states on key issues like trade, tourism, energy and many others.”Trudeau’s office also put out a statement Friday, confirming his intention to deliver a keynote speech in Rhode Island on July 14. Trudeau said: “No countries share a closer bond… Ever more integrated supply chains draw our economies closer together, bringing jobs and prosperity to Canadians and Americans alike.”Canadian officials insist the goal of this kind of outreach is not to bypass the trade-skeptical, Donald Trump-led federal government, as suggested in a recent New York Times piece on Canada-U.S. relations titled: “Canada’s Trump Strategy: Go Around Him.”One official pointed out that Trudeau has already spoken nine or 10 times with the president, and is doing so again at this week’s G20 meeting. In addition, there will be senior Trump administration officials at the Rhode Island gathering, including possibly Vice-President Mike Pence.The official cast the trip as part of what the Canadian government calls its 11-state strategy.The plan is to build ties with politically important, trade-connected states in advance of NAFTA talks. They include Michigan, Indiana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania — all states that voted at least once for Barack Obama, but flipped to Trump and helped make him president.The logic goes that building bridges now could prove useful later, in crossing troubled waters. If NAFTA talks hit a rocky patch, the Canadian side hopes that some Americans with real political clout might speak out in support of saving the agreement.“This meeting is not an effort to go around Trump,” said one Canadian official. “It’s working with states… It’s the reality of the U.S. system.”A former U.S. trade official says it makes sense for Canada to seek allies at the state level.“It probably behooves the Canadian administration to strike up new relationships with major states,” said Welles Orr, former deputy assistant trade czar under the first President Bush.“Having built-in relationships enables Trudeau and any prime minister to have a hotline to state (governors later)… It seems to me that it makes sense.”Trump himself underscored the point Friday that the talks could turn turbulent.In his weekly radio address, the president repeated his oft-stated threat to scrap NAFTA if he doesn’t get a good deal: “We are pursuing a total renegotiation of NAFTA and if we don’t get it, we will terminate — that is end — NAFTA forever.”
When the iPhone 5S and 5C were made official earlier this week, one thing was clear: Apple now has a very leaky ship when it comes to the details of its next generation products. Most of the hardware features Apple introduced to its smartphones were already known about, and on stage the words “as you may have already heard” were repeated a few times, confirming Apple reads the rumors. And now we move on to more iPad leaks, which are probably the real deal, too.We’ve seen images of the fifth generation iPad leak already, and it looks as though Apple is trying to bring the look of the iPad 5 in line with the styling of the iPad mini. This has been confirmed by the latest leak through the reliable source that is Sonny Dickson. He has managed to capture images of what appears to be the iPad 5 next to the iPad mini 2.The iPad mini hasn’t changed much, where as the larger iPad looks like someone just grabbed the corners of the mini and stretched it out a bit. Both look to be the same thickness, but the iPad 5 is expected to have a much thinner bezel to make it smaller while carrying the same 9.7-inch Retina Display.The iPad 5 will definitely be getting a performance bump just like the iPhone 5S came with, but all eyes will be on the iPad mini 2. That’s because Apple is expected to kit it out with a Retina Display, meaning it will require a major spec bump in order to cope with the higher resolution display. Maybe that’s the reason it’s the same thickness as the larger iPad–to allow for a larger battery and better cooling for those higher performance components.Hopefully we won’t have long to wait before both new tablets get official. With the new iPhones coming to market this month, Apple’s focus will be on the iPad and iPad mini refreshes in the coming weeks.

Des soutiens de WikiLeaks piratent le site de la chaîne PBSLe site de la chaîne publique américaine a été prise pour cible par des pirates qui voulaient protester contre un reportage sur WikiLeaks.Dimanche, la chaîne de télévision américaine PBS a eu une bien désagréable surprise en voyant un drôle d’article apparaître en Une de son site Internet. Il y était stipulé que le rappeur Tupac, décédé en 1996, n’était pas mort et vivait en Nouvelle-Zélande. Bien entendu, tout cela est faux puisque c’est un groupe de pirates, LulzSec, qui avait pris le contrôle du site, explique Le Monde.Ces derniers, qui avaient déjà revendiqué des attaques contre des sites de Fox News, Sony ou MasterCard, ainsi que contre les sites officiels tunisiens et égyptiens, a expliqué dans un communiqué que cette attaque était due à la diffusion par PBS d’un reportage consacré à WikiLeaks et à Bradley Manning, accusé d’être l’un des informateurs du site et détenu aux Etats-Unis depuis un an. Si PBS a pu reprendre le contrôle du site et enlever l’article sur Tupac, la plate-forme de blogs reste notamment sous le contrôle de LulzSec. Le 31 mai 2011 à 19:05 • Emmanuel Perrin

A total of 3,224 homes were sold in the county, down 8.6 percent from 3,527 during the same month a year ago.A total of 17,960 new and resale houses and condos changed hands in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties last month, according to CoreLogic. That was up 33.4 percent from 13,465 in February, and down 14.1 percent from 20,916 in March 2018.The median price of a Southern California home was $518,500 in March, up 1.2 percent from $512,500 in February but down 0.1 percent from $519,000 in March 2018.“The tiny, year-over-year decline — 0.1 percent — in Southern California’s overall median sale price last month marked the first annual decrease in seven years,” said Andrew LePage, research analyst with CoreLogic. “This reflects both a flattening of home prices in recent months as well as a shift in market mix, where sales in higher-cost areas represent a slightly lower share of all activity.”
