Earlier, Sri Lanka had started the day at 229 for 4, but Anderson bowled a fine spell and picked up the key wicket of Angelo Mathews. In his 20th over, Anderson bowled wobble seam and got it to jag back into the batsman and produced the edge. The appeal was turned down with England opting for a review. Initially, it seemed as if the review was for an lbw. However, it turned out to be for caught behind and UltraEdge confirmed the same. … [Read more...] about Dickwella, Perera power SL to 381; Anderson takes six

Where I disagree with the NFF is, why should they limit him to four players from the domestic league for the national team. They should not put a seal on the number of players. What if he discovers more than four he feels can fit into his plan? For those guys playing abroad, it is a golden opportunity to represent Nigeria. They should be the ones begging to play for Nigeria because they use Nigeria as a platform to get higher. The fact is Rohr should be able to pick the bulk of his team from the domestic league, train them and bring them up to his standard. If he is a good coach he should be able to do that. … [Read more...] about Akanni challenges Rohr: Prove your worth with home-based players

Traditional duck rearingUnlike the modern poultry farming methods of rearing birds indoors, duck farmers of Kuttanad rear ducks in the open, although it makes the birds more vulnerable to diseases like avian influenza. “Ducks are voracious eaters,” says Thomas Kutty, a duck farmer from Karuvatta. “It is not sustainable to hand-feed the birds beyond a specific period. Kuttanad with its vast paddy fields and backwaters is conducive for duck farming. Immediately after the paddy harvest, we move the birds to vast fields for feeding. We keep the birds on the move from one field to another until they are saleable,” says Kutty. According to him, allowing ducks to forage fields is mutually beneficial. The ducks get enough food in the form of rice, worms and insects, and the paddy owners stand to get a few bucks. The ‘Kuttanadan’ ducks (Chara and Chembally — two local breeds) reared like this are branded and are in high demand. … [Read more...] about Kerala bird flu outbreak | Flu among the feathers

According to two studies published in the journal Veterinary Research in June 2013 and November this year, unlike in the case of chicken, disease presentation in ducks depends on the H5N1 subtype and the bird species; the way the immune system responds to the virus infection in the two birds is vastly different. As a result, while most subtypes of H5N1 cause severe disease in chicken and kill nearly all of them, even clinical manifestation of infection is absent when certain species of ducks are infected with particular virus subtypes. Unlike chicken, which die, ducks not only turn out to be perfect hosts for the virus to survive but also provide an ideal environment for diversity to emerge through genetic reassortment of the virus. As of now, H5N1 infection in humans is “sporadic” and human-to-human transmission has not been reported. But a lethal reassortment of the virus can change all that. Hence, the death of thousands of diseased ducks and the prompt culling are … [Read more...] about No room for complacency

Dalit landless labourers have always faced caste discrimination, including sexual violence, from upper caste landlords. In response, groups like the Punjab Khet Mazdoor Union and Zamin Prapti Sangharsh Samiti, an umbrella organisation that advocates for land rights of Dalits, have come up over the years. With a large membership of women, these organisations have been at the forefront of the protests, finding common cause with landlords. “We have faced caste discrimination for generations. But this time, we have all come together,” says Taravanti, 70, a Dalit labourer from Muktsar district. … [Read more...] about Why women farmers cannot be left out of the protests against the new farm laws
