Chandrababu Naidu is doing a copy-paste job: KTR
He termed Naidu's efforts as 'chitta suddhi leni Siva pujalu (efforts sans sincerity)'. "The people of AP are very intelligent. They won't fall for your tricks," Rao told Naidu."Naidu is thinking that he will be elected in the next Assembly elections in AP if he copies and implements whatever Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao does in Telangana," Rao said. The TRS working president also questioned the priorities of some newspapers. "Some newspapers are giving more space to Amaravati news in Telangana editions. But, the same newspapers are not carrying Telangana news in their Andhra Pradesh editions," he said and opined that it was not only a failure to acknowledge the existence of Telangana but an effort by AP media to wield control over Telangana. Rao declared that the TRS government would support newspapers which promote Telangana State and its culture. The Sircilla MLA said that the TRS government had been working for the welfare of the journalists for the last four years. "The TRS government has done justice to all sections of the society which had participated in the separate Telangana movement," he said, assuring that the government would try to resolve pending issues of journalists as well.

Nissan to launch Leaf EV in India later this year
He further said besides the Leaf, Nissan also has plans to bring other electric vehicles to India in the future. "We want to have this solution (Leaf) in our portfolio and in the product line up. It will not be the only electric vehicle in (our) India plan," Kargar said, adding "we are not calculating how many numbers to sell". Nissan has cumulatively sold around 3.5 lakh units of the Leaf globally since 2010 Elaborating on a sales strategy for the Leaf, Nissan India Operations President Thomas Kuehl said, "It is very clear when we come with the Leaf it will come at a special price point only in the metro cities. " He further said the Leaf will target institutional and government sales apart from "some influencers and people". Kuehl asserted that under the present circumstances, it is difficult to target the mass segment with electric cars due to the high costs. "We are working to get the cost structure down by investing in the country," Kuehl said adding the lack of component suppliers for high-end technology associated with EVs and batteries in India have been a major hurdle. Kargar said Nissan is also close to taking a decision on the introduction of its e-Power technology in India. "We are really looking at how and when we bring this technology. We are in the latest stage of confirmation in terms of how and when and which model (to be considered to deploy e-Power)," he added. Nissan's e-Power technology uses an electric motor to power the vehicle, but at the same time, it has a small gasoline engine to charge the battery when needed, thus doing away with the need for an external charger. Nissan has already deployed e-power on its different models in Japan, Kargar said adding following the response there the company has decided to bring the technology to several other countries. Kargar further said that the company plans to bring in more models both under Nissan and Datsun brands in India in order to strengthen its position in the country. "If you ask me if I am happy with the kind of numbers we are selling here, I am not," he said. Underlining the importance of Indian operations, Kargar said the company would utilize its manufacturing base here to export vehicles, components and even human resources to various global operations.

Now, you can grow vegetables without soil
According to D Kalaivanan, scientist, division of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, ICAR-IIHR, "Nutrients like phosphorous, potassium, nitrogen and others which are essential for plant growth are added to coco-peat." Kalaivanan further said that soil-less cultivation technology is very much suitable for urban and semi-urban areas. "One can grow vegetables like tomato, chilly etc., at terraces, inside houses, backyards and balconies. Coco-peat can even be used in large spaces measuring two to three acres. This mechanism will be useful for coastal and desert region as well," he said. Explaining it further, Kalaivanan said in terms of duration, there will be no difference between soil and coco-peat. In fact, plants grown in coco-peat consumes less water. "It takes less water and holds moisture for long. Vegetables grown in coco-peat are good in terms of quality as well. For example, zucchini when grown in soil is normally uneven in size, whereas it grows uniformly in coco-peat,'' he said, adding that it also weighs one-third less than soil. Kalaivanan said that coco-peat cab be bought from IIHR campus for Rs 2.5 per kilo. Dailyhunthttps://www.zintro.com/profile/zi9ceb5b14?ref=Zi9ceb5b14
I-League: Khalid Jamil faces old club East Bengal as spirited Bagan eye revenge
Norde, who played a crucial role in their I-League triumph in 2015, has had a long injury lay-off. He has shown glimpses of his class, scoring four quality goals in the game time he has been able to cull out thus far. Pintu Mahata, Arijit Bagui and Omar Elhusseiny are all available for selection, which is definitely going to boost Mohun Bagan's confidence. But Jamil will have midfield worries after the duo of Yuta Kinowaki and Darren Caldeira were outplayed against NEROCA.

It remains to be seen whether they can hold their ground against red and golds' Lalrindika Ralte and Kassim Aidara. With 22 points from 12 matches, the red-and-gold brigade are ahead on paper. A win will close the gap on leaders Chennai City FC who are at the top with 30 points from 13 games. But a loss meant that East Bengal's maiden title hopes will become shaky as Mohun Bagan, who are sixth in the table with 21 from 13 matches, will look to upset their rivals plans. East Bengal coach Alejandro Menendez has already said their Mexican recruit Enrique Esqueda is fit and is raring to go, making it a formidable attacking troika with Jaime Colado and Jobby Justin. Manoj Mohammad will be serving his suspension while Samad Ali Mallick is expected to slot in at the left back position. For Bagan, Eze Kingsley will lead the defence and a lot will depend on Bagan's back four. Alejandro put up a brave front ahead of the derby, saying: "Mohun Bagan are a difficult match. We are focusing on the game. All the teams that are fighting for the title are difficult. But we are focusing only on the next match. We have to fight and get full three points to fight for the title." function catchException() {try{ twitterJSDidLoad(); }catch(e){}} function getAndroidVersion(ua) {ua = (ua || navigator.userAgent).toLowerCase(); var match = ua.match(/android\\s([0-9\\.]*)/);return match ? match[1] : false;}; var versions='4.2.2'; var versionArray=versions.split(',');var currentAndroidVersion=getAndroidVersion();if(versionArray.indexOf(currentAndroidVersion)!=-1){var blocks = document.getElementsByTagName('blockquote'); for(var i = 0; i < blocks.length; i++){blocks[i].innerHTML = '';}}Dailyhunthttps://www.mobypicture.com/user/feezeerkeen
In its 11th edition, the India Art Fair will focus on art from South Asia and educating young collectors
"I have been able to execute a lot of ideas and programmes," says Jagdip Jagpal, director of the fair. Taking on the mantle from the founding-director of the fair, Neha Kirpal, just months before the last edition, this time Jagpal had the entire year to work towards the event. In its 11th edition, the four-day fair will see participation from 75 exhibitors from across the world. While the showcase will include works by international biggies such as Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson and Turner Prize-winning photographer Wolfgang Tillmans, the focus will be on art from the region. "I feel the fair should be representative of the best of South Asian art and should be accessible to all. The aim is to encourage newer audiences and offer a level of engagement. We want people to meet artists and know their work irrespective of whether they can buy them," says Jagpal. In attendance will be predicable and prominent Indian galleries such as Chatterjee & Lal, Chemould Prescott Road, Nature Morte and Gallery Espace. The returning international galleries include David Zwirner (UK, New York, Hong Kong), Sabrina Amrani (Madrid), Aicon Gallery (New York) and Arario Gallery (Seoul, Shanghai). We will also see first-timers such as neugerriemschneider (Berlin), and Sokyo Gallery (Kyoto). "We have encouraged gallerists to bring at least one artist who hasn't shown at the fair before," says Jagpal. Guest curator Sitara Chowfla has been invited to manage the Forum segment, that will see performances and interactive sessions with artists. "She has a great understanding of art for the public. Every year, we will have a guest curator," says Jagpal. This edition will see Bangladeshi artist Yasmin Jahan Nupur's six-hour performance challenging the invisible boundaries and borders that regulate human interaction. In his performance, Sajan Mani will continue his powerful commentary on the socio-political conditions of Indian society and Sahej Rahal will present a performance where he will draw on the worlds of science fiction, fantasy and video games. Mithu Sen's lecture-performance will question the very idea of a staged conversation. "People will see a diverse range of art forms. We have kept the artists at the centre of the things: whether it is talks, masterclasses or book signing events," says Jagpal. Some of India's most distinguished art personalities will be walking down the aisles at the fair but through formal sessions an attempt will be made to introduce them to the viewers. For the reading aficionados, Sudarshan Shetty will be launching a catalogue on January 31. American photographer Thomas Laird will introduce his illustrated book Murals of Tibet, and artist Jitish Kallat will discuss his multimedia practice with Adam Szymczyk, curator of Documenta 14. Artist Gulammohammed Sheikh will be in conversation with art historian Kavita Singh on his biography that studies over five decades of his practice. Artists Tayeba Begum Lipi, Idris Khan and Hardeep Pandhal will discuss their own practice in individual sessions. There is also an evident focus on art education and guiding young collectors. Collecting master classes will be held and as part of the Forum section, Mitchell Crites, collector and early patron of Gond artist Jangarh Singh Shyam, will give a talk on building a collection of tribal art. New York-based art patron Kent Charugundla will present the journey of building a private collection of works by MF Husain, and another talk will discuss commissioning, displaying, collecting and archiving digital art. Latest Videos Welcoming the viewers will be a facade designed by The Big Fat Minimalist (Aniruddh Mehta), and outside of the booths they will encounter 12 art projects scattered across the fair venue. The large-scale interactive installations, sculptures and video works include self-taught artist Baaraan Ijlal's sound installation Change Room, an immersive experience from architect Pinakin Patel and a video project by KM Madhusudhanan. Gallery Ske will set up a concept store that will offer artist-designed products and sculptures. Need assistance navigating the fair?

Domestic match referees and umpires too join the initiative
oung cricketers (who probably never had anything to do with Martin), former India captain Sourav Ganguly and reigning IPL champions Chennai Super Kings are among those to have pitched in, ensuring that Martin's family doesn't lose sleep over paucity of funds.Where the Board is concerned, it has merely given Rs 5 lakh from the Benevolent Fund, which covers First-Class cricketers who have played a stipulated number of matches.It's shocking, but this is how the Board is functioning nowadays under the supervision of the two Supreme Court-appointed Administrators, Vinod Rai and Diana Edulji.That's not all. Awfully disappointing too has been the silence of the three office-bearers - C.K. Khanna, Amitabh Choudhary and Anirudh Chaudhry - on the Martin issue. Even as the Board of Control for Cricket in India continues to be indifferent towards Jacob Martin, who remains on ventilator support in a Vadodara hospital, match referees and umpires who officiate on the domestic circuit have come together to assist the former India batsman's family.Where gestures go, the initiative taken by match referee Rajiv Seth and umpires M. Kuppuraj and K.N. Ramesh is unlikely to be forgotten in a hurry.Martin, who suffered grave lung and liver injuries, late on December 27, is gradually improving at the Sterling Hospital. "Twenty per cent of the infection in his lungs is still there," wife Khyati told The Telegraph around 10.00 p.m. on Friday. Khyati added: "Jacob's condition is much better, but we'd like him to be quickly out of the ICU as the risk of more infections is strong. He continues to be on the ventilator, though not right through the day and night. "According to the doctors, Jacob's injuries are no longer life-threatening, but the road to recovery would necessarily be slow." Expressing gratitude to all who have come forward with help, Khyati said: "The family is indebted to every single individual and organisation. I wasn't aware that Jacob had so many well-wishers." Exactly three decades ago, Seth was unlucky to miss out on the India selection as Vivek Razdan got picked for the 1989-1990 tour of Pakistan under Krishnamachari Srikkanth. In more recent times, he has been on the Board's panel of match referees. A medium pacer, Seth played for Bengal and Odisha (then Orissa). Earlier in the week, Seth, Kuppuraj and Ramesh were in Vadodara officiating in a Cooch Behar match. On hearing about Martin's condition, they decided to visit the hospital and make personal enquiries about the 46-year-old. Seth and the umpires met Khyati and an aunt of Martin's, besides Sanjay Patel, a former secretary of the Board and the Baroda Cricket Association. "Once the trio left the hospital, I got a message from Rajiv that he and the umpires wished to contribute towards Jacob's treatment. I gave them Khyati's bank account details and contributions started to pour in. "No one will forget the spontaneous humanitarian gesture on the part of Rajiv and the umpires. "Neither Rajiv nor the umpires had ever met Jacob, but they felt the fraternity had to lend support and to do so quickly. "As we speak, the initiative started by the trio has already seen contributions in excess of Rs 3.5 lakh from the match referees and umpires who figure in a dedicated WhatsApp group," Patel informed this Reporter.
