LONDON/MOSCOW: OPEC+ oil producers will discuss a modest easing of oil supply curbs from April given a recovery in prices, OPEC+ sources said, although some suggest holding steady for now given the risk of new setbacks in the battle against the pandemic. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, known as OPEC+, cut output by a record 9.7 million bpd last year as demand collapsed due to the pandemic. As of February, it is still withholding 7.125 million bpd, about 7% of world demand. In January OPEC+ slowed the pace of a planned output increase to match weaker-than-expected demand due to continued coronavirus lockdowns. Saudi Arabia made extra voluntary cuts for February and March. Three OPEC+ sources said an output increase of 500,000 barrels per day from April looked possible without building up inventories, although updated supply and demand balances that ministers will consider at their March 4 meeting will determine their decision.

Tireless Author Wrestles with Movie Mistranslations
August 23, 2013 10:09 With his new book, renowned translator and writer Ahn Jung-hyo has turned his attentions to mistranslations, casting a cold eye on examples from some 3,000 movies. Often using the original script, the book aims to show in an accessible way how these misreading come about. At 72, Ahn comes from Korea's first generation of literary translators. He started his career back in 1975 by translating "100 Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Marquez and has since translated 137 other books. The "Dictionary of Mistranslations" is a labor of love by a film buff and took more than 10 years to write and three more to edit, though other work also intruded. His wife is also a translator, and the entrance to their living room is lined with dozens of books she translated, while his own take pride of place in the room amid video tapes and DVDs. "I wake up at 4 a.m. every day and write until 10 a.m. when my mind is clear," Ahn said.

Why South Africa are Cricket’s Chokers
When South Africa lost to India on Sunday, they cemented their reputation for 'choking' in ICC tournaments. IMAGE: South Africa's ODI Captain A B de Villiers. Photograph: Gareth Copley/Getty Images In what had turned in to a virtual quarter-final on Sunday, June 11, South Africa were cruising along nicely against India. They had reached 140 for the loss of two wickets and looked all set to finish with a mammoth total, with A B de Villiers and Faf du Plessis at the crease. Against the run of play India got the all-important wicket of de Villiers thanks to a terrible mix-up between the two batsmen. India also got David Miller in similar fashion and soon South Africa lost their way, losing wickets in a hurry and finally folding for a below-par 191. India did not face much difficulty in overhauling the target and sealed a place in the semi-finals. This is not the first time South Africa have choked in an ICC tournament. They have a history of doing that ... » Learn More about Why South Africa are Cricket’s Chokers

Is Yogi scared of the Mughals?
'The Mughals became completely Indian in every sense and united the vast Indian subcontinent, not only territorially, but also the hearts and minds of people with multiple religio-cultural, linguistic and ethnic diversities' IMAGE: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Ajay Singh Bisht also known as Yogi Adityanath. Ancient Prayag was destroyed in a flood. Long after that, the fort and the city of Allahabad was founded in 1583 by the Mughal ruler Akbar. Professor Syed Ali Nadeem Rezavi, my colleague and an expert in Medieval Indian History, informs us: "Akbar had named it Ilah bas , which during the reign of Shahjahan became popular as Illahabad . The British started writing it as Allahabad, the City of Allah!" "Why did Akbar give the name Ilah bas ? Two reasons are forwarded, one by contemporary Persian sources, the other a legend based on local mythology," says Professor Rezavi. "According to the contemporary chronicles, like the account of Abdul Qadir Badayuni, when ... » Learn More about Is Yogi scared of the Mughals?
