Liverpool win seven-goal thriller after stunning Salzburg fightback

Salzburg, who beat Belgium's Genk 6-2 in their opening game in the group, were applauded off the field by their travelling fans, recognition for their spirit and the enterprising, positive football they played against Juergen Klopp's side. Liverpool, beaten 2-0 by Napoli in their opening game, quickly took charge, taking the lead in the ninth minute with a beautifully-worked goal from Sadio Mane. The Senegalese left two defenders in his wake as he cut in from the left and then drove home after a crisp exchange with Roberto Firmino. Left back Andy Robertson made it 2-0 in the 25th minute, starting the move with a burst down the flank and then staying forward to apply a deft finish to Trent Alexander-Arnold's low cross. Salah then made it 3-0, turning the ball in after Salzburg keeper Cican Stankovic had pushed away an angled header from Firmino. The Austrians pulled a goal back in impressive fashion, with South Korean Hwang Hee-chan leaving Virgil van Dijk on his rear with a sharp turn inside, before he blasted past Adrian in the 39th minute. Hwang then turned provider when his cross from the left was met with a superb volley from Japanese striker Takumi Minamino, who buried the ball in the bottom corner from 20 metres out in the 56th minute. The home crowd could barely believe it four minutes later when the impressive Minamino slipped the ball across the face of the goal and 19-year-old substitute Erling Haaland tapped in. Haaland had scored a hat-trick in the win over Genk and the tall striker had the extra satisfaction of matching his father, Alf-Inge, who scored for Leeds United at Anfield in a Premier League match 22 years ago. Klopp threw on a fourth forward in Divock Origi as he looked to retrieve the game and Salah secured the points for Liverpool in the 69th minute, the Egyptian firing home his second goal after a header down from the always-influential Firmino. 'Salzburg are a really good team and after we went 3-0 up it was a tough game to try and push - but we deserved the win,' said Liverpool's former Salzburg striker Mane. 'To be honest, I knew how good Salzburg were as I was there for two and a half years. They never give up and push and they caused us problems, but in the end, we scored more goals.' The win left Liverpool second in the group on three points, one behind leaders Napoli who were held to a 0-0 draw at Genk earlier on Wednesday.

INTERVIEW | I don't give up easily, says 'War' actress Vaani Kapoor

I have received a lot of offers but something or the other didn't click so far. There was always something amiss. It has been a conscious decision to wait until something better and exciting comes my way. I didn't want to be unfair on myself as I'm passionate about acting. I've always felt one must do less work and nurture the little that they do." During her time off, the actor has been travelling and spending most of her time with her family. "I don't like to socialise. Neither do I like updating social media posts. It's a conscious decision to stay away from all this. I don't think visibility is important when you are not doing a film. It's very nice of people who can go out and celebrate the fact that they are actors and be seen. I want to be true to who I am. I'm interested in films and I try to do good work but I try not to compromise on who I'm happy being limited. Hence, I stay away from all this. I rather watch a lot of films and shows. I got to Dubai very often as my sister resides there and spend time with her. From there I travel to other places such as Singapore or other countries in Europe," explains the actor. Nevertheless, the 31-year-old says that the last six years in Bollywood have been a learning experience for her. "I have worked with some of the best actors in the industry such as Ranveer Singh, Hrithik Roshan, Sushant Singh and Ranbir Kapoor. It's been a growing experience. The one thing common in all these actors is that they are all dedicated and focused. None of them take what they have for granted and constantly work on themselves. Similarly, I never get content with my work. Every role has different characteristics. You have to learn things all over again and do new research and discover yourself. The field of acting is so amazing that you are constantly learning something new. I'm a strong person so I don't give up easily. I think failure only means that I've tried. If you have never failed at something it only means that you have never tried." if(NHCommand && NHCommand.getMainVideoId){document.getElementById(NHCommand.getMainVideoId()).style.display="none";} On her experience in working with the YRF banner, Vaani says, "It's not as easy as it seems. I have given auditions every day for three months with casting director Shanoo Sharma to be chosen for films. Producer-director Aditya Chopra used to watch my auditions for Befikre. He wanted to go with someone new or someone who was convincing enough to play my character in the movie. He kept wondering whether he should sign me or not. He does not know me personally as he has seen me only in my debut movie Shuddh Desi Romance and despite being in YRF, I have never had interactions with him since he sits on a different floor. He knew me as Tara from Shuddh Desi Romance hence he was skeptical whether I would be able to play a modern girl and that too someone French." While most actors hanker for screen space, Vaani says, "I have never ever said yet to a role because of the length of the role. I could be in the entire film and the character could not do anything and be terrible and not make any sense or I could be there for just six minutes and leave an impact. It's about doing justice to your character in the film. When the audience watches you in a role and it creates an impact they take it back home. If your role does not register with them they will wonder why I was even there in the film. At the end of the day, we are all working for the same script for the same project."

Put the spring in your step and guard against dehydration

The benefits include lower resting heart rate and blood pressure, toned lower legs, improved sleep, better digestion and increased energy through the day. Carry a water bottle on the walk if it is hot. Avoid sports drinks, as they are loaded with sugar. Drinking nimbu paani with salt after the walk will help replenish and rehydrate. Avoid walking after a heavy meal. A light snack before starting, or tea or coffee is fine. After the walk eat something with protein in it - eggs, paneer and a small amount of carbohydrate, like a roti. Or have a protein shake. If embarking on a long walk, a trek or a walk across a city or town, it is important to guard against dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and weakness. Carry some buttermilk or a bottle of water to which some chia seeds or sweet basil seeds have been added, to ensure some protein intake along with hydration. Drinking lemon juice or coconut water on the way will ensure there is no electrolyte imbalance. The body needs energy, so a slow-release carb like a banana before setting off on the walk helps. And carry some high-protein snacks to munch on - like nuts or seeds, or sprouts.

Schoolboys make toilets from plastic water bottles

'Around a dozen school boys of Class 7 bought six empty plastic mineral water bottles of 20-litre capacity each in total Rs 100 and cut five bottles in the shape of urinals and one in the shape of wash basin,' said Tiwari, while informing about the project. Students also bought plastic drain pipes for Rs 900 and a drainage system was developed by linking the pipes to the bottlenecks like a customary urinal and wash basin, which were all tied on the walls. 'We developed the toilet in merely around Rs 1,000 which is not only cost-effective, but also serves the purpose of plastic waste utilisation,' Abhinna said. Informing about the initiative, Tiwari said, 'Kendriya Vidhyalaya runs in a temporary government leased building, as the school does not have its own building and there are only two toilets having urinals for around 250 boys and four toilets for around 150 girl students.' While the girls did not face much of a problem because of their less numbers, boys, particularly the primary school boys, suffered due to the lack of toilets. 'So, we decided to resolve the problem of boys toilet,' Tiwari added. 'Although the school toilet had walls on two sides, it was open from two sides, so we established a fibre sheet on two sides, which cost us Rs 3,000 more,' Tiwari said. Of the five urinals, two have been placed at lower height for the primary students and three have been placed at normal height for other students. Tiwari said efforts are underway to develop a toilet for the girl students also. Sri Arobindo Society has awarded Tiwari with the 'Teacher Innovation Award' in August this year, which he received from Union human resource development minister RC Pokhriyal in Delhi.

North Korea, US say nuclear talks to resume this weekend

It is my expectation that the working-level negotiations would accelerate the positive development of the DPRK-US relations," Choe said in the statement, using an abbreviation for North Korea's formal name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.The U.S. confirmed the talks."I can confirm that US and DPRK officials plan to meet within the next week. I do not have further details to share on the meeting," said state department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus, who is traveling with secretary of state Mike Pompeo in Rome.Nuclear negotiations have been at a standstill for months following a February summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump in Hanoi, Vietnam. Those talks broke down after the US rejected North Korean demands for broad sanctions relief in exchange for partially surrendering its nuclear capabilities.North Korea followed the summit with belligerent rhetoric and a slew of short-range weapons tests that were widely seen as an attempt to gain leverage ahead of a possible resumption of negotiations.Choe's announcement came after North Korea praised Trump last month for suggesting that Washington may pursue an unspecified "new method" in nuclear negotiations with the North. North Korea also has welcomed Trump's decision to fire hawkish former national security adviser John Bolton, who advocated a "Libya model" of unilateral denuclearisation as a template for North Korea.The 2004 disarmament of Libya is seen by Pyongyang as a deeply provocative comparison because Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was killed following US-supported military action in his country seven years after giving up a rudimentary nuclear program that was far less advanced than North Korea's.The office of South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who lobbied hard to set up the first summit between Kim and Trump last year in Singapore, welcomed Choe's announcement and expressed hope that the resumed talks would result in "substantial progress" in denuclearisation and stabilization of peace.Under the high-stakes diplomacy between Trump and Kim, which has been driven chiefly by the personalities of the leaders rather than an established diplomatic process, working-level meetings have been useful for fleshing out the logistics of summits but unproductive in hammering out the details of a nuclear deal that has eluded the countries for decades.The stalemate of past months has revealed fundamental differences between the two sides. North Korea says it will never unilaterally surrender its nuclear weapons and missiles and insists that US-led sanctions against it should be lifted first before any progress in negotiations.The Trump administration has vowed to maintain robust economic pressure until the North takes real steps toward fully and verifiably relinquishing its nuclear program.Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul, said progress in working-level negotiations would depend on several factors, including whether Kim empowers his officials to negotiate concrete steps and whether the Trump administration embraces "a phased approach where summits and sanctions relief must be earned, butdenuclearisation is not decided all at once."There are doubts about whether Kim would ever voluntarily deal away an arsenal that he may see as his strongest guarantee of survival.In his first public appearance since his departure from the White House, Bolton on Monday gave a characteristically pessimistic outlook on the prospects for nuclear negotiations with the North and challenged Trump's foreign policy without directly mentioning the president.At a forum in Washington hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Bolton said Kim has made a "strategic decision" to do whatever he can to keep his country's nuclear weapons and that is an "unacceptable" threat to the world."Under current circumstances, he will never give up nuclear weapons voluntarily," Bolton said. "This is a government that has essentially violated every international agreement it has ever made."After their Singapore summit in June 2018, Trump and Kim issued a vague statement calling for a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula without describing how or when it would occur.The lack of substance and fruitless working-level talks set up the failure in Hanoi, which the Americans blamed on what they said were excessive North Korean demands for sanctions relief in exchange for dismantling an aging nuclear facility in Yongbyon. Trump and Kim met for the third time at the inter-Korean border on June 30 and agreed that working-level talks between the countries should resume.

Ground personnel at 17 airports to undergo breathalyser tests from today, rest to follow

In addition to this, several airlines, including AirAsia, Air India, GoAir, IndiGo, SpiceJet and Vistara are also implementing the norm from October 2. 'The roll out will be partial and completed before 30th of October 2019 as mandated…,' the statement said. Once implemented, in addition to cockpit and cabin crew undergoing breath analyser tests to check the level of alcohol in their blood, airside ground personnel and air traffic controllers (ATCs) will also have to undergo the test, as per a civil aviation requirement issued by the DGCA. The regulations stipulate that all such personnel undergo the alcohol test prior to reporting for duty, and it also says that the organisations engaged in the provision of air navigation services, aerodrome management, aircraft maintenance and repair, shall ensure that at least 10 per cent individuals employed in their respective organisations as engaged in such functions are randomly subjected to breath-analyser examination on a daily basis. In the case of a first violation, the licence of the concerned personnel will be suspended for three months. In the case of a second violation, the suspension will be for one year and for the third violation it will be for three years. If a fourth violation happens, then the licence shall be cancelled permanently. Internationally, rules laid down by the global aviation regulator ICAO states that holders of licences 'shall not exercise the privileges of their licences and related ratings while under the influence of any psychoactive substance which might render them unable to safely and properly exercise these privileges'. The US Federal Aviation Administration and the UK Civil Aviation Authority have also developed and published their policy for detection of consumption of psychoactive substance including alcohol by personnel engaged in safety sensitive functions.

Book review: Beloved child of Mother Bapu

Coming to terms with this experiment adequately, Bhikhu Parekh wrote, 'would require access to the diaries of Manu, one of the women involved in Gandhi's experiments.' (Others did not write a diary.) The 12 volumes of her writings, including four of the diary, remained in safe hands for decades, before landing in the National Archives of India around 2013. The secrecy was understandable. When Gandhi had started sleeping naked with young women in 1946-47, amid innuendos and whispers, he had an uncharacteristic instruction for his grand-niece Manu, 'And don't let this diary fall into the hands of any and every person.' He was right: some of the early journalistic reports which appeared in 2013 verged on sensationalism, on the lines of 'in bed with Bapu'. For those wishing to engage with the diary in its full context, the National Archives is publishing the diary in two volumes, the first of which is out in English (and soon in Gujarati), edited and translated by Tridip Suhrud. Manu (Mridula Gandhi), granddaughter of the Mahatma's cousin, entered the Gandhi story at a particularly tragic phase of his life. After the call of Quit India in 1942, Gandhi along with Kasturba, his personal secretary Mahadev Desai and others was detained at the Aga Khan Palace in Poona. Desai died that year with his head in Gandhi's lap. Kasturba, unwell, would not survive long. Manu, all of 14-15 and badly in need of a maternal figure after the death of her mother, arrived in the palace to look after Kasturba, and to learn a variety of life skills from Gandhi and company. Following a well-established tradition going back to the Stoics, Gandhi saw diary-writing as a preeminent tool of self-examination, and advised the teenager to start writing one. She began in 1943, and did not continue after Gandhi's demise. The writing shows a progression from daily accounts in bullet points to complex descriptions. Manu reports on mundane aspects of life, hers and Gandhi's. From being woken up early for prayers, preparing juices, cooking, giving a massage to Ba, studying the Gita, reading the Ramayana, spinning, learning science, mathematics and English from Pyarelal and Sushila — and getting the previous day's entry checked by Bapu. Gandhi, amid personal and political crises, found time to correct her orthography, give tips on grammar and make self-writing a better spiritual practice. The diary covers the critical and glorious final phase of Gandhi's saga, picking up from where Mahadev Desai left off. Like him, Manu wrote the diary not as a report of her day, but of Gandhi's. Beyond that, it would be unfair to compare a barely literate teenager to 'Gandhi's Boswell'. Her diaries will be primarily remembered for the complementing viewpoint she brings to Gandhi's brahmacharya experiment, which will appear in the second volume. The experiment, undertaken from December 1946 to February 1947, came amid the 'great miracle' when Gandhi was largely successful in ending communal violence in Noakhali. It remains mired in questions: Did Gandhi, in his Seventies, need to test his celibacy? Was it moral to subject young women, for his own objectives, to what could be a highly revulsive experience? Does formal consent have any weight when it is urged by someone of Gandhi's stature? Also, did Manu need to undergo a test of her own moral purity in the face of the insistent advances of Pyarelal? To make sense of Manu's diary and the celibacy experiment, Suhrud is the ideal guide. Apart from numerous translations and compilations of Gandhiana, he has prepared critical editions of Hind Swaraj and the Autobiography (Faisal Devji called him 'the true successor of Desai and Pyarelal.'). In his introduction he analyses the experiment in terms of Gandhi's lifelong 'striving and pining to achieve . self-realization, to see God face to face, to attain moksha'. Via various traditions and innovations, Gandhi forged a unique path to politically responsible salvation: Ekadash Vrata, the 11 vows or observances that he followed from his mid-thirties. They included truth, non-violence, brahmacharya, non-stealing, non-possession, fearlessness as well as adoption of swadeshi, equal respect for all religions and removal of untouchability. Just as non-violence was not merely absence of violence but, in active form, became love; brahmacharya was not mere celibacy but literally 'dwelling in the brahma'. Further, Gandhi believed the 11 vows had the power to influence the world. Conversely, an orgy of communal violence was a result of the practitioner's failing. Whether this was spiritual arrogance or guilt-prone humility is open to interpretation, but witnessing inhuman violence, Gandhi needed to check within for remnants of lust and remove them. To achieve this, tempting oneself to the very edge would not be the obvious answer for anybody other than Gandhi. But he believed that if he could perfect his brahmacharya, his ahimsa would engulf the mobs, douse the fires and peace would shine out. Tongues started wagging, a volunteer left. Even his longtime sparring partners from the Ashram thought this was adharma and immoral, and came down to Noakhali to talk him out of it. Finally, Thakkar Bapa persuaded Manu to quit, though Gandhi remained convinced of his views (Abhay or fearlessness remains one of his less appreciated virtues.). He wrote to Manu, 'I have successfully practised the 11 vows undertaken by me. This is the culmination of my striving for the last 60 years. .In this yajna, I got a glimpse of the ideal of truth and purity for which I have been striving.' Manu, in all her innocence, was probably the ideal partner and witness in the sacrificial ceremony, as she could see in Gandhi what he aspired for, going beyond not just lust but the very gender binaries. Manu alone saw Gandhi as mother, and exclaimed at the joy of being 'that beloved child of Mother Bapu!' Thus, it was Manu who would bear witness, not just to the culmination of Gandhi's striving, but his final sacrifice. Gandhi wanted her 'to bear witness to his death so that she could bear testimony to his striving'. He told her, 'The success of my attempt depends solely on how I meet death . But if it occurs to me to utter the name Rama with my last breath it should be taken as proof of the success of my attempt.' She was by his side when he breathed his last, but not before calling out, 'He Ram!'
