Kerala bird flu outbreak | Flu among the feathers
A Ramsar site and a designated Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems, Kuttanad, nicknamed the rice bowl of Kerala, is one of the areas where farming is carried out below the sea level. Duck farming to the villages here is what tapioca is to the tropical hills of Central Travancore. Nearly all households in the region keep at least a few of these birds in their backyards, which are a consistent source of income for several families and form the crux of their food security, besides offering jobs to several thousands. It is common to see duck flocks quacking and waddling across roads and paddy fields post-harvest, being guided and goaded by ‘masters’, across the region. … [Read more...] about Kerala bird flu outbreak | Flu among the feathers
Cricket and that winning attitude
The Melbourne win contributed, of course, but Gabba was summited because India first climbed the steep cliff of the draw at Sydney. That momentum shift was hugely important, in a way that only happens in a test cricket series and no other sport. Ashwin and Vihari joined the casualties but, along with Pujara’s, their epic intransigence transmitted something to Sundar and Thakur. Nietzsche’s famous axiom ‘what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger’ comes into play here. By the time India started to bat in that fourth innings at Brisbane, all sorts of fears were lying spent, like crushed mineral water bottles outside the boundary. Perhaps the players and support team had already done the losing in their minds and this held no threat — maybe the only interesting thing was the possibility of a legend-creating win. In this there was certainly the unforeseen contribution of a decade of intense T-20, coupled with two contrasting cricketing DNA strands that go … [Read more...] about Cricket and that winning attitude
Nissan commits to UK car plant after post-Brexit trade deal
Nissan confirmed on Friday that it will maintain its operations in Britain in the wake of the post-Brexit trade deal between the country and the European Union. The news was greeted by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson as a "great vote of confidence." The future of Nissan's car plant in the northeast England city of Sunderland was thrown into doubt in the wake of Britain's vote to leave the EU in June 2016, a decision that could have led to tariffs and quotas on trade between the two sides. However, after months of tortuous negotiations, the UK and EU struck a post-Brexit trade deal at the end of 2020 that means there won't be any tariffs or quotas. There will be other barriers to trade though, such as customs checks and more form-filling that will inevitably raise costs. Nissan's chief operating officer, Ashwani Gupta, said the deal ensured the company's future in Sunderland, where it employs around 6,000 people. "Sunderland is one of the top three plants in the world for … [Read more...] about Nissan commits to UK car plant after post-Brexit trade deal
