Black badge stir at GU
There is a key difference between anti-CAA protests in the Northeast, including Assam, and the rest of India. The protests across India would not have happened if the Act included provisions to give citizenship to Muslims coming from the neighbouring countries. In Assam/Northeast the protest is against giving citizenship to illegal immigrants from Bangladesh irrespective of their religion. We will meet the local people and generate awareness about the new Act," Borah said.Many students used gamosas as headgear while writing exams. Thousands who joined the anti-CAA movement have hit the streets waving gamosas. "These days, only students have taken anti-BJP and anti-NDA stand and so the government is trying to suppress their voice by using force and other means. The students have every right to protest peacefully against the Act and the government cannot force us to accept it," Parashar Kalita, a second year post-graduate student, who wore the badge, said."It is unfortunate that Prime Minister Narendra Modi failed to know the reasons behind the protests and totally ignored the interests of Assam," Kalita said.Leading organisations, spearheading the protests, have said that protests and studies would go hand in hand and not at the cost of studies as was the case during the Assam Agitation when students lost a year to the movement against illegal foreigners.AASU chief adviser Samujjal Bhattacharjya also lauded the students. "It is a unique style of protest. We are saying that students will protest along with continuing their studies," he said. Cotton University students have launched "Saturday Against CAA". They will join hands to oppose the act after classes every Saturday. They will, however, attend regular classes.

This hat-trick tops my list as I was under pressure for last 10 months: Kuldeep Yadav
"The last 10 months were very tough for me. After consistent performances, there comes a phase when wickets don't come by and you start thinking more about your bowling. After World Cup, I was dropped from the team, then I worked really hard for four months," Kuldeep said after India's 107-run win in the second ODI here. He admitted that he was a bit nervous when he made his comeback in national colours in a T20 International against the West Indies in Mumbai. "The T20 against West Indies in Mumbai was my first match for India in four months. I was a bit nervous as there was a bit of gap and I hadn't played international cricket during that phase. Performance wise, this hat-trick will be at the top of the list because pressure was on me and it was a result of 4-5 months of hardwork," he said. Asked what was going through his mind before the hat-trick ball, Kuldeep said that he was confused whether to bowl a wrong 'un or a conventional chinaman, to Alzarri Joseph. "I was a bit confused which one to bowl – the wrong 'un or the chinaman. I thought wrong 'un is the best option and I put a second slip there. I was thinking to bowl the off-middle line and if he misses then I will get the wicket. That was the plan," he revealed. He didn't think even during the slump in form that he was bowling badly, but needed a bit more planning on variation. "I have worked on my variation, pace and accuracy which is why the pace that I have bowled in the last two ODIs had been great. The way I used my variations, I am very happy." It was not about variation but more about altering the pace of his deliveries according to the nature of the track. "I think it is not about new variations but more about varying pace according to nature of the track. In India, the tracks are on the slower side and you need to mix it up – sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Worked with Bharat Arun Sir and Ravi sir, both motivated me," he said. In the first ODI in Chennai, Kuldeep went wicketless for 48 runs but he feels that more than bad bowling it was good batting from Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer that changed the complexion of that match. "We bowled well in Chennai also. I think at times, we should give credit to batsmen also. The manner in which Hetmyer and Shai Hope batted was praiseworthy. They paced it well. When they felt, they attacked, when they felt, they defended. There were obviously areas which we could have improved, and that's what we did over here." He did not forget to mention that Visakhapatnam is his "lucky ground". "It feels amazing to get a hat-trick in Visakhapatnam. I have now got nine wickets from three ODIs over here – all three wicket hauls. This ground has been good to me." ...

John Cena to play 'substantial' role in Wrestlemania 36 - Report
'When do I walk away with a sense of mental and physical sanity?' Cena told Sunday Today. 'I'm right at that precipice.' 'I feel great, I'm in the best shape of my life,' he added. 'It's not that I couldn't continue, but I think from this point on I run the risk of tipping that balance the wrong way.' Cena and Randy Orton has been a part of some memorable matches in the history of WWE and in the last decade, the two well-known superstars were part of some extremely interesting feuds. However, it's been a year since Cena has competed in a match in WWE and although he was rumoured to take part in the Royal Rumble match this year, he was ruled out due to an ankle injury. As of now, it is not sure whether Cena will take part in Wrestlemania 36 or not but Orton has already extended a challenge for a match at the grand event. 'I'm on a flight to London and see this striking young man asking me a question. Why yes @johncena I am up for a challenge, are you? Let's say ohhhh I dunno, #Wrestlemania36 maybe? Or does Hollywood have you booked solid? #WM36,' Orton posted on his Instagram account on his way to England for upcoming events.

Low rates mean more babies
On average for the UK, a one-percentage-point decline in the policy rate increases birth rates by 2 per cent," they said in a paper published on Friday.In contrast with Britain, the birth rate in the US fell during the period studied by the researchers, something they linked to the prevalence of fixed-rate mortgages in the country and the impact of property price declines."Our descriptive comparisons with the US suggest that if more families had been able to obtain a lower interest rate, the US might not have experienced as severe of a 'baby bust' in the Great Recession," they said.
