France attracting more Indians than UK
As President Emmanuel Macron pitches France as India’s gateway to Europe during his India visit, new research suggests that his country has emerged as a more popular destination for Indian visitors than the United Kingdom.The Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) said that despite the UK’s historic cultural and economic links with India, France attracted 185,000 more Indian business visitors and tourists in 2016, while the overall number of visits to the UK by Indians fell by 1.73% that year.Read it at Hindustan Times Related Items

Top seed Ashleigh Barty hurried into the Wimbledon third round on Thursday, dispatching Alison van Uytvanck 6-1, 6-3 in 54 minutes on the All England Club’s distant showcourt Two.Barty is the woman of the moment having just won her first Grand Slam at the French Open but she and former Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber were consigned to Court Two for their second-round matches while much lower ranked Britons were scheduled to play on Centre Court.But the court did not affect the 23-year-old Australian’s tennis. She sprayed winners, including two delicious lobs, and did not allow Van Uytvanck into the match until the sixth game of the first set.Barty took the first set with a backhand that wrong-footed her opponent and wrapped up the match, played in warm sunshine, with a high backhand volley winner.Van Uytvanck is no slouch on grass. The Belgian reached the last 16 here last year, upsetting defending champion Garbine Muguruza on the way, and she has a powerful swinging serve.”I had to have my running shoes on, Barty said as she came off court. I had to make sure I made a lot of returns.”Also Read | Wimbledon 2019: Andy Murray and Serena Williams know their mixed doubles opponentsAlso Read | Wimbledon 2019: Stan Wawrinka suffers shock defeat to unseeded Reilly OpelkaAlso See

She was prominent in an 11-runner field at the time and at least three horses went over the top of her, one of them actually tripping over her. “One stood on my arm,” Doyle told me, cheerily. “Luckily, it wasn’t broken, it was just a haematoma. “I got kicked under the chin, knocked my front teeth out and cracked all the others and cut my lip open. But it’s not serious, it’s fine.” It’s important for Doyle to keep her profile up in this first season since she lost her claim and she’s doing a fine job so far, with more rides each month than she had in the equivalent month last year. She showed what she can do in her last ride before this injury, when she was second at 66-1 in Royal Ascot’s Sandringham Handicap, on Ortiz for Henry Candy. Good luck to her. Today’s nap is a 9-2 shot called First Flight (3.45), who is seeking a hat-trick of wins in the fourth race at Hamilton. A half-brother to a Listed winner, this ex-Godolphin beast was, within the last year, rated a stone higher than he is now but the losing run he began with Saeed bin Suroor continued through his time with Heather Main until he bagged a claimer at Wolves last month. Brian Ellison picked him up that day and won an Ayr handicap with him 10 days ago. I think he got to the front with a degree of comfort and a shade too early that day and can go in again. The market shows a bit of interest in two of the beaten horses from that race, Ballestra and Whatsthemessage, but I’m not convinced they can turn it around. On the subject of veterans who’ve come down the weights, Roy Rocket (3.30) is in line for his eighth success at Brighton, having ended a long losing run there last week. That was only an amateur riders’ race but it seemed a plausible return to the sort of form that may make the grey hard to beat here. He’s 11-8. There’s 4-1 about Pot Luck (6.45) at Chepstow tonight. Andrew Balding’s runner was very green on her debut in late May but was getting the hang of it by the finish and should know a lot more this time.

“The Pacific Northwest was the ultimate proving ground for Danner boots, and Danner boot makers,” says the company. “From the earliest days, [they] used only the best materials and only the most skilled craftsmen … Danner [is] a favorite of tradespeople and outdoorsmen who understand that a well-made boot, though more costly, would outperform and outlast several pairs of inexpensive ones.”From that point on, Danner boots became the must-have work boots for the hardworking men of the Pacific Northwest and a steady employer for the people of greater Portland.In the 1940s, WWII increased the need for a fighting-fit pair of boots, so Danner moved shop from their original PNW factory to a new facility which allowed them to build (by hand) 240 pairs of boots a day. The following decade saw Danner’s size increase once again, prompting another move to a third manufacturing facility, the addition of everyday boots and shoes to the company’s product lines, the opening of Danner’s first retail store, and the first use of new fabrics and construction techniques that made Danner’s boots as technologically advanced as they were tough.The 60s and 70s saw Danner’s expansion into the hiking boot world with the introduction of the Mountain Light trail boot, which Backpacker Magazine voted the best out of 22 competitors. Only a few years later, Danner became the first manufacturer to include GORE-TEX liners in their boots, making them truly and completely waterproof.After 50 years of being in the business, the Danner family sold their company to Eric Merk in 1983 on the condition that Merk follow and maintain Danner’s traditional approach to craftsmanship and quality. Merk agreed, adding even stricter adherence to quality control. He also expanded Danner into another larger manufacturing facility.In 1994, Danner merged with LaCrosse footwear and in 2012 the company moved to their current manufacturing facility in Northeast Portland, where each piece of leather is tested six times for quality and each boot and shoe produced is touched by at least 100 different craftspeople. 1 of 9 Editors’ Recommendations Previous Next In the midst of the Great Depression, Charles Danner took it upon himself to open a small factory of twelve employees in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, to create and produce the best-crafted, most durable work boots in America. Thus, Danner boots was born.To Danner, superior craftsmanship mattered — regardless of the economic climate — and it was this stubborn belief in quality boots that carried his company through the next few years in Wisconsin where a pair of Danner boots sold for just four dollars.However, by 1936, Danner discovered an even better business environment for his hard working brand of boots: the Pacific Northwest. With the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914, Pacific Northwestern ports began to expand and shipping and logging exploded in Washington and Oregon, resulting in an influx of loggers and longshoreman who all wanted durable, rugged work boots. Further development of hydroelectric dams in the region in the early 1930s provided inexpensive and reliable electricity that would eventually go on to power not only the economic engine of the region, but also Danner’s new factory.With a large population seeking just the type of product he was producing, and with the cost of a pair of good boots in the Pacific Northwest reaching upwards of ten dollars (nearly $180 in today’s currency), Danner picked up shop and moved to Portland, Oregon, to be both closer to his target customers and to turn a tidy profit. (See gallery below for archival Danner factory images.) At the current factory (see gallery above), Danner employs hundreds of craftsmen and women from over 23 different countries. Danner’s hiring principal is this: If you’ve ever worked in footwear manufacturing before, you’ve got a chance to join the team. Which might explain why there are 17 different languages spoken on the Danner factory floor. While this might seem like a recipe for disaster, Danner has taken steps to eliminate verbal miscommunication by using a system of visual communication, including easy to understand symbols and illustrations which explain the different areas and aspects of the factory.The factory itself is set-up in a an almost circular pattern where, upon entry, directly to the right are the base leathers and shoe molds (called lasts). The factory continues in a circuit moving counter-clockwise, from leather testing, to dye-cuts and presses, to sewing, soling, and finally boxing. It’s an easy and easily comprehensible system that works like a well oiled machine.And speaking of well-oiled machines, Danner possesses a Puritan sewing machine from the late 1800s that is still used to this day to create the triple-stitch seen on many of Danner’s boots (the Super Rain Forest being the best example). Any Danner boot with this signature triple-stitch was hand-sewn on the machine above — a testament to the company’s ethos of heritage and craftsmanship.Through seven decades of political, economic, and social change, Danner boots has maintained and even increased its high standards with emphasis on quality, craftsmanship, and heritage construction. It is this dedication to creating a world-class boot that has kept Danner at the top of the footwear game for the past half-century. As the company says itself, “It’s easy to talk about higher standards, but it’s incredible difficult to live up to them. Since 1932, that’s exactly what we’ve done.”Video and photography by Dan Baker/The Manual. Archival images courtesy of Danner. Article originally published January 3, 2017.

IRELAND COACH JOE SCHMIDT will, this afternoon, name his Ireland team to take on Samoa at Lansdowne Road on Saturday.The Kiwi’s first game in charge will see Ireland face a Manu Samoa outfit packed with Top 14 and Super Rugby stars and ranked once place higher [seventh] than their hosts. Schmidt has described this weekend’s match as the first of ‘three cup finals’ and has stated his desire to pick the strongest teams possible.However, with Australia [fourth] and New Zealand [first] also coming to town, there must be a temptation to hold a few of Ireland’s established stars in reserve. We select the two teams Schmidt could field against the Samoans and argue the merits of both.Murray Kinsella — Pick the best XVR Kearney; T Bowe, B O’Driscoll, L Marshall, F McFadden; J Sexton, C Murray; C Healy, R Best, M Ross; P O’Connell (c), D Tuohy; P O’Mahony, S O’Brien, J Heaslip.Underestimating the Samoan challenge on Saturday would be disastrous for Ireland. Stephen Betham’s side are big, aggressive and powerful. They are here with the belief that they will win and by fielding anything less than a full-strength team, Joe Schmidt is asking for defeat in his first game in charge.Beyond the physical and mental strengths the Samoans have always possessed, they have now added structure and shape in both defence and attack. This is a good team and Ireland cannot afford to risk a developmental XV on Saturday. The power of Sean O’Brien, Cian Healy and Rory Best cannot be omitted.Sean O’Brien’s power will be needed against Samoa. ©INPHO/Billy Stickland.Paul O’Connell as captain would ensure that Ireland would not be lacking for leadership when the Samoan onslaught begins, while Brian O’Driscoll’s defensive excellence would be useful too. At scrum-half, Conor Murray’s size and composure would be important. Yes, the November tests should partly be about moving a squad forward and testing new options, but right now Ireland don’t have that luxury.Schmidt will be under pressure to win games from the off and no coach wants to get their reign underway in defeat. Even if new players aren’t given huge amounts of exposure this month, Ireland can develop as a team by embracing the style of play and coaching that Schmidt brings to the table. Underestimating Samoa by fielding a weakened XV would be foolish.Patrick McCarry — Hold big players in reserveR Henshaw; T Bowe, B O’Driscoll, L Marshall, F McFadden; J Sexton, I Boss; J McGrath, S Cronin, M Ross; D Toner, M McCarthy; K McLaughlin, C Henry, P O’Mahony (c).Schmidt could easily select this side an expect them to hold their own against the Samoans. It contains nine Leinster starters, including the tight five, that will know exactly what keeps their coach happy. Senior stars such as O’Driscoll, Bowe, Sexton, Ross and O’Mahony are retained with a nod to youth that should match the visiting side for attacking verve.Isaac Boss revels in physical battles and is the smartest box-kicker of the three scrumhalves — ideal for a Samoan side that are no great shakes when it comes to airborne duels. Kevin McLaughlin, Chris Henry and O’Mahony provide the backline grit and should starve Samoa of the quick ball they thrive on.Peter O’Mahony on the charge in training at Carton House. INPHO/Billy SticklandIn the backline, Marshall gets the chance to continue the midfield partnership with O’Driscoll that shimmered briefly earlier this year. Throwing in Robbie Henshaw from the start at fullback is the big punt but one that should energise the home crowd. The Connacht player is highly rated by the Irish coaching ticket and, word from the camp has it, fearless in training.Schmidt could name a bench containing the likes of Cian Healy, Paul O’Connell, Sean O’Brien and Rob Kearney to punch second-half holes. O’Mahony is rewarded for leading Ireland over the summer by retaining the captaincy before handing over the responsibility to a senior colleague for the tough tests ahead.Like rugby?

Developer Danger Close Games has confirmed Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be on two discs for the Xbox 360 version when it ships at the end of this month.Much like the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 3 last year, the two discs will separate the multiplayer from the story mode so at least players won’t have to swap discs mid-game. It’s not unusual for games on Xbox 360 to come on two disks as DVDs cannot hold the same amount of data as a Blu-ray. As the texture quality and size of games grow during this generation of consoles, two or more DVDs becomes a necessity for 360 owners.In another similar move to Battlefield 3, there might also be an optional texture install for the Xbox 360, although this has not been confirmed yet. A texture install allows players to apply HD textures to make the graphics in-game look much better, and it’s probably going to be well worth the time it takes to transfer.Danger Close Games has been spending a great amount of time making improvements to the Frostbite 2 engine to make sure the game looks fantastic on all formats. It seems they’ve been working on the console versions of the game first rather than the PC, and testing on both Xbox 360 and PS3 formats. Senior designer Ben Jones said he was particularly happy with the PS3 version of the game. The team has focused on fine tuning the lighting to make sure Medal of Honor: Warfighter ports over well to the PC from consoles.If the news of two disced MoH is disappointing, Xbox Live Gold owners are able to play the multiplayer beta now so it’s not all bad news. You can pick up the full game on October 23.via VideoGamer
Guerre des brevets : première victoire pour Motorola contre Apple en AllemagneUn tribunal allemand a ordonné une injonction contre Apple suite à une plainte déposée par Motorola Mobility. La marque à la pomme est censée ne plus vendre ses terminaux iOS sur le territoire allemand. Déjà habitué aux procès contre les concurrents (Samsung ou HTC), Apple avait également l’habitude de gagner. C’est donc un revers que subi la firme face à Motorola. Ce dernier a obtenu gain de cause auprès de la justice allemande qu’il avait saisi pour violation de plusieurs de ses brevets. Cependant, pour le moment, cette victoire ne fera que peu de vagues. En effet, Apple étant représentée en Allemagne à travers deux entités que sont Apple Inc et sa filiale Apple Germany (cette dernière vend les produits de la marque), Motorola les a poursuivi toutes les deux. Apple Germany s’est défendu mais pas Apple Inc, ce qui a entrainé l’injonction. Motorola sort donc vainqueur du procès pour le moment, mais Apple Germany peut toujours vendre ses produits en Allemagne étant donné que c’est Apple Inc qui est considérée fautive. La justice peut parfois sembler risible…Toujours est-il que la marque à la pomme va tout de même faire appel. Donc rendez-vous très bientôt pour le deuxième round !

OLYMPIA — Democratic U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and Republican Susan Hutchison will face off in November for a Washington Senate seat.Cantwell, who is seeking her fourth term, easily outpaced all other candidates in the Tuesday Democratic primary. Under Washington’s primary system, the top two vote getters go on to November, regardless of party. Cantwell is Washington’s junior senator and the ranking member of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Hutchison, a former GOP state party chair, was finishing second in the voting in Tuesday’s contest.In a closely watched open congressional race in the state, Republican Dino Rossi was leading on a crowded ballot as he looks to advance to November. Rossi is a former state senator who had unsuccessful runs for governor and U.S. Senate.Incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert is retiring from the 8th Congressional District after more than a decade. Among the dozen candidates on the ballot, one of three Democrats are expected to advance: pediatrician Kim Schrier, attorney Jason Rittereiser, or former federal public-health official Shannon Hader. Schier took an early lead among the group Tuesday night for the second spot, followed closely by Rittereiser.Washington is a vote-by-mail state, and voters had a deadline of 8 p.m. to have their ballot postmarked or placed in a drop box. In some of the more competitive races, results may not be known for days as most counties will update vote counts only once a day.District 8 includes Seattle’s eastern suburbs of Sammamish and Issaquah, which have seen their populations grow on the back of Microsoft, Google and other expanding technology companies. The district also includes more rural economies that are heavily dependent on agricultural exports.
Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsAppProvidenciales, 06 Jul 2015 – When it comes to National Security the United Kingdom is responsible, but when media asked what the UK would be prepared to do in the light of statistics showing a rise in crime and boost in more heinous acts of crime in the territory so far for 2015; Commissioner James Smith said nothing – at least not on the ground. “In terms of practical things on the streets of TCI; nothing. In terms of sharing of knowledge, in terms of working together to make sure we are using best practice and making sure all appropriate arrangements are in place for sharing of training facilities, of mutual aide connections in other Caribbean Territories that’s what we’re reinforcing. So I’ll be going there, I will have a meeting with the Foreign Office Minister to talk about TCI, along with the Governor but I will be meeting with the College Policing; I’ll be meeting with the National Crime Agency and a variety of other groups in the UK to take away new knowledge and best practice.”The Commissioner and Governor are gearing up for a meeting in London where crime fighting techniques and solutions and other issues will be raised with counterparts; he anticipates gleaning information in support of best practices.

Mexican grill restaurant chain Chipotle has launched a new education initiative to give US-based staff access to online college classes and university degree programmes at a discounted rate.Chipotle, which has a 60,000-strong workforce, introduced the initiative to support the development of employees and help attract and retain top performers.The new scheme, provided by Guild Education, launched in August 2016. It includes a variety of online classes, programmes and university degrees, enabling employees to undertake college courses, attend graduate school, earn a general education diploma (GED) or study English as a second language while continuing to work for the organisation.Classes are completed online at a discounted cost, with the support of a personal college and career advisor from Guild Education.The scheme also allows staff to gain credit for past college coursework and up to 44 transfer credit hours for on-the-job training in crew, kitchen manager, service manager and apprentice manager positions.The new education initiative will run alongside Chipotle’s current tuition reimbursement scheme, which gives employees access to up to $5,250 (£4051) annually to put towards education costs. This programme was extended in 2015 to include hourly as well as salaried employees.With federal grants of $5,815 (£4487) also available to qualifying staff, employees could pay as little as $250 (£192) a year for furthering their education.Monty Moran, co-chief executive officer at Chipotle, said: “Attracting and retaining teams of top performers is one of the key drivers of our business, and we are always looking for ways to enhance the benefits we offer to help us do that.“We’ve seen a lot of success and participation with our existing tuition reimbursement programme, and through this new partnership with Guild Education, we can offer our employees even more assistance and opportunities to pursue their education.”
Senator Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has also indicated he’d like to see changes made to the measure.Copyright 2019 Sunbeam Television Corp. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. MIAMI (WSVN) – Some South Florida lawmakers did not see eye-to-eye on the health care bill and voted accordingly, Thursday.South Florida’s congressional delegation, which is mostly Republican, agreed with the plan but one longtime member was one of 20 Republicans who voted against it.Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen said she voted against the bill because she believes the measure brings high, unaffordable costs to lower income and elderly citizens. “I believe that the analysis is correct that it will take millions of people off their health care plan. It will not bring down health care costs,” she said.Florida Representative Carlos Curbelo, who voted for the bill, said, “Over 1,000 counties across the country, including Monroe in South Florida, are left with a single insurance provider, meaning fewer choices, lower quality and higher costs. I refuse to condemn my community and the country to a health care system burdened by ever increasing costs, fewer options, government threats and fines against citizens, rampant fraud, inefficiency and mismanagement.”Democrat Representative Debbie Wasserman Shultz expressed her opinion on the bill via phone. “The president and Republicans promised they were changing the Affordable Care Act,” she said. “They were not going to take away coverage for pre-existing conditions. They lied.”Republican Lincoln Diaz-Balart believed that there needed to be some kind of change, and that’s why he voted to approve the bill. “Whether we like it or not, Obamacare is collapsing and on its way out,” he said. “While this bill may be far from perfect, I am glad I was able to work with my colleagues to get significant improvements to the American Care Act.”Senator Bill Nelson, D-Fla., echoed sentiments made by Ros-Lehtinen and said he will not support the bill. 
Facebook Email Twitter Childish Gambino Drops Two-Tune ‘Summer Pack’ EP childish-gambino-releases-two-tune-summer-pack-ep News Childish Gambino Releases Two-Tune ‘Summer Pack’ EP “Summertime Magic” and “Feels Like Summer” keep the heat feeling groovyPhilip MerrillGRAMMYs Jul 11, 2018 – 1:50 pm GRAMMY winner Childish Gambino released his Summer Pack EP on July 11 — two new tracks to keep you locked in the groove while it’s hot. The audio-only singles “Summertime Magic” and “Feels Like Summer” were produced by the artist with long-time collaborator and GRAMMY nominee Ludwig Goransson.Childish Gambino is, of course, the musical persona of singer/songwriter, actor and TV producer Donald Glover. His schedule feels as accelerated as the Millennium Falcon, fresh off his appearance on the BET Awards, prepping for his tour starting September, and sharing the Austin City Limits Music Festival headliner bill with Paul McCartney this October. If that weren’t enough, an additional appearance was just announced on July 11 — he’ll also be performing at the iHeartRadio Music Festival on Sept. 21 in Las Vegas.Gambino’s “This Is America” reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 after he released a video for the song and performed it on “Saturday Night Live.” Behind his SNL performance of the new song “Saturday,” viewers could spot a smiling Ludwig Goransson on guitar. Those two songs plus the July 11 Summer Pack make up four tracks from what fans expect will be his upcoming album, while they cross their fingers that it won’t be his last. After his GRAMMY win in Jan. 2018 backstage, he ominously added weight to rumors his musical persona will be terminated by saying he liked “endings” and advocating the benefits of contracts having a “death clause.”Meanwhile, Glover is currently voicing Simba for the upcoming The Lion King remake. Fans, with their fans turned on, can enjoy the Summer Pack songs while waiting for an audio release of his second song from SNL, “Saturday.” One of the most versatile and surprising of entertainers, he’s bound to keep everyone guessing at what’s coming next.Catching Up On Music News Powered By The Recording Academy Just Got Easier.

There are people on YouTube truthering the Kawhi shot saying it was a magnetic rim 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/p3UKoK4xN8— Tyler Conway (@jtylerconway) May 14, 2019 Tags 1 Sports Online “The ball looks and sounds heavier than it should be,” one person wrote in a YouTube comment.”Magnets came in clutch here,” another added.One Reddit thread posed the question: “Is it possible to theoretically rig a shot?” One user responded saying it wouldn’t be hard to do, as all that’s needed is to “make the ball slightly magnetic and then run a strong current through the rim.”Another thread poked fun at the situation, posing the topic: “Kawhi Leonard’s buzzer beater bounced four times. Let’s rank the bounces.”The NBA couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.The internet has no doubt facilitated the spread of conspiracy theories on platforms like YouTube and Reddit, which have tried to push back against that kind of content. In January, YouTube said it would start cutting down on recommendations of conspiracy theories. Last March, the company said it would add snippets of information from Wikipedia to videos focused on conspiracy theories. Last year, Reddit banned several subreddits, including r/greatawakening, for “repeated violations of the terms of our content policy.” Reddit YouTube KAWHI CALLED SERIES! pic.twitter.com/V4AIuMULNO— Toronto Raptors (@Raptors) May 13, 2019 Comment Many conspiracy theorists aren’t buying Sunday’s winning shot by Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (left).
