Hyderabad, Nov 2 Alienation  (PTI) In a novel way to promote sports culture in the city and put its vast sports infrastructure to optimum use, the Hyderabad civic body has a mobile app which educational institutions and individuals can book sports facilities in advance. “A user-friendly Application is prepared, whereby any school can book sports facility of GHMC online for the benefit of their students on a nominal cost basis?

The emphasis being on making use of the sports facility for the benefit of students, rather than to generate income out of the facility,” a Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) official said. The GHMC has 12 sports complexes, seven swimming pools, 521 playgrounds, and numerous other facilities. Though many school managements are not averse to encourage sporting activities among their children, the real concern is the unavailability of open spaces in the city, the official said.

Additionally, many fitness-conscious citizens are keen on taking up sports or some form of physical activity. The shortage of playgrounds and lung spaces in urban areas is a serious cause for concern and prime constraint in promoting sports and physical activity among the citizens, he said. This gave rise to “some out-of-box thinking” by GHMC to use its sports infrastructure, the official said.

According to the new policy, general citizens, including IT employees and businessmen, can use the facilities at staggered timings. Educational institutions can book the sports facilities on weekdays, and government schools can avail of the facilities free of cost every Friday, the official said. On weekends, the sports grounds, especially indoor stadiums, would be given to individuals or organizations on a nominal pay and play basis, he added. PTI SJR RS GK KHS KHS

NEW DELHI: The Atticus Blog unavailability of KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan has extended Gautam Gambhir’s lease on life as an international cricketer, but the BCCI selectors sprung a surprise by including the uncapped Hardik Pandya in India’s 15-man squad for the first two Tests of the five-match series against England starting November 9 in Rajkot.
A thigh strain to Rohit Sharma, which reportedly will keep him out of action for six to eight weeks, has apparently forced the selectors to include Pandya as an all-round option.

MSK Prasad, the chief selector, said of Pandya’s inclusion: “Pandya’s pace has increased, he is moving the ball, his batsmanship has improved. He is one all-rounder we thought is an equally competent bowler and batsman. And a good fielder too, much quicker and better bowler than Stuart. With form and fitness, Hardik is a better option.
Pandya, 23, made his ODI and T20I debuts this year and has been included for the first time in India’s Test squad.

India v England

The Baroda allrounder has played 16 first-class matches, scoring 727 runs at 27.96 with a best of 90 and 22 wickets at 33.72, with a solitary five-wicket haul. The uncapped pair of Haryana allrounder Jayant Yadav and Karnataka batsman Karun Nair – who came in as replacements for Ishant Sharma and Dhawan against New Zealand – have been retained. This means that Virat Kohli has four spinners to choose from, with Jayant Yadav’s offspring following R Ashwin,

Ravindra Jadeja, and Amit Mishra

Ishant has returned after missing the New Zealand series while recovering from the mosquito-borne viral infection chikungunya, but there is no Bhuvneshwar Kumar as he has not proved his full recovery from a back strain picked up during the last series. Ishant’s most recent matches have been for Delhi in the ongoing Ranji Trophy, where he has bowled 62 overs for five wickets.

The selection committee took into consideration the fitness report of the Indian team’s physiotherapist Patrick Earhart, in which it was confirmed that Rahul (hamstring) and Dhawan (minor thumb fracture) have yet to fully recover from injuries sustained during the recent Test series against New Zealand. This confirms Gambhir as one-half of the Indian team’s opening pair, with no other opener picked.

Gambhir, 35, made a return to international cricket after more than two years when he was drafted into the Test squad for the second match against New Zealand in Kolkata last month, as the replacement for the injured Rahul. He played in the final Test of that series after Dhawan picked up a hand injury in Kolkata, scoring 29 and 50 as India won 3-0 to reclaim the top spot in the ICC Test Championship. Gambhir’s retention comes after he impressed in Indore, and his most recent innings was 147 for Delhi in the ongoing Ranji Trophy.

The England team’s stunning capitulation to Bangladesh in what proved the final session of the second Test in Mirpur on Sunday – they lost ten wickets, all to spin, in 22.3 overs – to level the series 1-1 has brought further into focus their ability to play quality spin in tough conditions. India offspinner R Ashwin spun the web around New Zealand’s batsmen, taking 27 wickets at 17.77 apiece, and was backed by Ravindra Jadeja’s 14 at 24.07. Amit Mishra’s leg spin was not called on during the Tests but following his Man-of-the-Series performance in the subsequent ODIs, which culminated with 5/18 in the decider, he could slot in with a three-man spin attack a very realistic tactic.

Kohli’s team is ranked No 1 in Tests, while England is at fourth. England last toured India in late 2012, famously winning the Test series 2-1 after being beaten in the series opener in Ahmedabad. Skipper Alastair Cook was at the forefront of England’s revival, scoring a marathon 176 in the second innings in Ahmedabad to show his team how to tame India’s rampaging spinners. In Mumbai, he laid the foundations for victory with a steely 122 while Kevin Pietersen made merry and then in Kolkata went a step further and recorded a historic 23rd century to put his team in a commanding position as India were beaten in back-to-back home Tests for the first time since 1999-00.

Maybe deep heartache takes Being Mad the nearly impossible to cure because, having lost hope, the only remedy is for it to be replenished by what feels too much like a miracle to ignore.
Maybe these kinds of baseball demons — those that have lasted 108 years in Chicago, that have taken form in the Never Say Die Mets and the San Diego Padres and poor Steve Bartman — get exorcised only in the most grueling and unlikely of trials.
Because suddenly, after the Cubs’ 9-3 shellacking of a Cleveland Indians team that seemed to have this World Series matchup in hand, the Cubs could end up doing the impossible in the most improbable of ways: winning the World Series by mounting a comeback from a 3-1 series hole to take the crown, change the very meaning of the Chicago Cubs and deliver one of the greatest and most riveting sports stories of all time.

sports
Make no mistake. That is what’s at stake Wednesday in a Game 7 that, regardless of the outcome or how it comes about, will be one of the most captivating sports stories any of us have had the pleasure to watch.
Sometimes we lose track that sports, for all the headiness and brainpower that now go into managing and making sense of them, are at their best emotional catalysts. When they move us to tears, to joy, to ebullience, to uncertainty and captivation and heartache and, most importantly, to awe — that is when they rise above some silly game and become something deeper and richer. Something truly lasting.
Whatever happens here at Progressive Field on Wednesday, it will be one gut-wrenching, awe-inspiring, visceral thing to behold. It should be baseball at its best.
The Cleveland Indians haven’t won a World Series since 1948, and their fans have a deep and emotional claim to why winning that game would mean so much. Think of the utter joy — the shock and dancing and tears and awe — that would descend on this city if it goes from winning the NBA championship in June to clinching a World Series in November right here in Cleveland. After all those years of being a sports punchline.
And then there’s the Cubs and the days that stretch back generations since they last won this thing. That’s a long time, 108 years, and it’s a story that has the power and potential to be one of the most incredible sports stories ever.
The Cubs winning this series in, say, five games would have been captivating for most sports fans, a thing to see, an I-was-here-when-it-happened moment. But trying to come back after being down 3-1? With one of the best postseason pitchers of all-time still waiting to close the door on this crazy run? A Game 7 for it all between the two-longest suffering fan bases out there? That is the stuff of greatness, of sports at its best, whatever happens.
If the Cubs pull that off, I’m not sure anything in sports I ever witness in person could possibly top it.
Let’s put it in perspective. As my colleague Dayn Perry pointed out in his excellent piece, only six teams in MLB history have managed to turn a 3-1 postseason series deficit into victory when having to win the final two games on the road, as the Cubs are trying to do. That’s a very optimism-damping 13.6 percent of those who faced that situation.
Only three teams in the World Series itself — most recently the 1979 Pirates — have mounted such a reversal of fortunes when having to win the final two games on the road.
Hard to do? Yes. Unlikely? Of course.
And that’s before we even begin to discuss Corey Kluber.
Indians in Game 7. USATSI
In 30 1/3 innings pitched in this, his only postseason experience, Kluber has surrendered a meager three earned runs. His 0.89 ERA, 35 strikeouts over that time and growing presence as an unbeatable figure with a series or game on the line is the ultimate challenge for a Cubs team trying to overcome the ultimate, and ingrained, history of failure and heartbreak.
But maybe the biggest curses must be broken in the most grueling and challenging of ways. Maybe, for teams like the Cubs, there are two opponents — the Cleveland Indians, of course, but also all that time and history and angst and pressure weighing on every pressing moment. Maybe curses — really, truly — are out there to be beaten as much as the opponents themselves.
Scoff. Laugh. Throw your smarter-than-you condescension about the fact sports teams and the cities that love them can’t live under curses. That such talk is superstitious stupidity.
But tell that to the Boston Red Sox, and that 3-0 ALCS deficit sparked by Dave Roberts’ stolen base and all that followed — against the Yankees. That’s what they had to do to move past the curse of the Bambino.
Tell that to, yes, the city of Cleveland after its own generations-long championship drought ended in June when the Cavaliers romped out of a 3-1 series hole against a Warriors team that had won 73 regular-season games. LeBron James and his Cavs teammates had to literally mount the greatest comeback in NBA history, against the team that otherwise would have gone down as the greatest NBA team of all time, in order to deliver Cleveland the championship it had for very long believed would never come.
Tell that, if they find a way to win Wednesday in Game 7 of the World Series, to the Chicago Cubs.
They’re the Cubs.
The 1969 Mets happened.
The 1984 collapse against the Padres happened.
Steve Bartman happened, and having been there in person for that, I’ve learned not to scoff at curses.
If the Cubs somehow turn this 3-1 series deficit into a win over Kluber in Game 7, and therefore win the World Series that has eluded them for the lifetime of almost every person on Earth, we may all have just watched the most incredible sports story of all time.

Sporting Best News Mag governing bodies must bring in more women or lose public funding, UK Sport and Sports England have warned. Under the new ‘Code for Sports Governance,’ organizations must adhere to “gold standards” of transparency, accountability, and financial integrity. The code sets out a target of at least 30% gender diversity on boards. If the sport wants to be publicly funded, it must reflect the public it serves,” said the chief executive of Women in Sport, Ruth Holdaway. She said the code sent that message “loud and clear.

The code calls for:

Increased skills and diversity in decision-making, with a target of at least 30% gender diversity on boards Greater transparency, for example, publishing more information on the structure, strategy and financial position of the organization Constitutional arrangements that give boards the prime role in decision-making The new code applies to governing bodies who ask for UK government and National Lottery funding from April 2017. UK Sport predicts changes in practice should be in evidence by the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Sports

It is vital that our domestic sports bodies and organizations uphold the very highest standards of governance and lead the world in this area,” sports minister Tracey Crouch said. It is not only funding that could be hit if authorities do not comply with the code. The government could also take other punitive measures – including the withdrawal of the support sporting bodies need when bidding to host major events.

Who benefits from the funding at present?

Both UK Sport and Sports England allocate money from the government and National Lottery to grassroots initiatives, clubs, charities, local authorities, and national governing bodies. Sports England is investing £493m into 46 sports between 2013 and 2017 while UK Sport has invested about £350m in the same period. The Football Association is among the many recipients and will receive £30m from Sports England during the period 2013-2017. However, the sports minister warned the FA earlier this year that it would be stripped of further funding unless it changed its governance.

The FA has just one woman on its board, independent non-executive director Dame Heather Rabbatts, who has been left “frustrated” and “disappointed” at its failure to implement reform. However, FA chairman Greg Clarke welcomed the new code, saying: “It will rightly protect public investment in sport by ensuring that transparency, controls, and financial probity are a prerequisite for all organizations in receipt of government money.” British Cycling, the England and Wales Cricket Board, the Lawn Tennis Association, UK Athletics, and UK Gymnastics are other funding recipients, along with many Olympic and Paralympic sports.

What will governing bodies have to do now?

UK Sport’s chief operating officer Simon Morton told BBC Sport: “This code includes over 50 requirements that sporting organizations in receipt of public funding will now have to implement. It will take different times for every single organization. They all have different constitutions in place, so we’ll agree on bespoke timescales. But certainly, as we move into the next funding cycle, which will start from 2017 onwards, they’ll need to be compliant with these standards. Sports bodies have already done well in governance terms, but there’s a huge amount of public funding going into the sport, and the key message is [for them] to justify the funding, give the public confidence that the governance of sport is right.

GB Funding to medals

GB’s success at the recent Olympic Games has demonstrated the importance of UK Sport and Sports England funding.

How has the new code come about?

The government announced a new code developed in its Sporting Future strategy, published in December 2015. In response, UK Sport and Sports England embarked on a consultation period with governing bodies and found strong support for higher standards of governance. Of the more than 200 organizations consulted, 98% backed a drive for greater transparency, and 78% agreed on the need for increased diversity. There have been significant improvements in standards of governance, which is to be welcomed, but there is still much to do,” Sports England chair Nick Bitel said.

Diversity in sports sector boardrooms is still an issue and requires a mandatory code to achieve sustainable change.” UK Sports chairman Rod Carr added: “We are confident that despite the recent historic successes at the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we can be even stronger as a high-performance system with better representation and more openness. This is also about encouraging more diversity into leadership positions in sport, and I fully expect to see a broad range of talent coming into key roles during the Tokyo cycle.”

Analysis

Dan Roan, BBC sports editor

This could be very serious for governing bodies like the FA. As well as cutting investment through its funding agencies for sports that fail to reform, the government is prepared to withdraw essential support and guarantees required for bids to host major international events. That could mean the FA’s plans to bid for the 2030 World Cup are blocked if it refuses to modernize. Very few British governing bodies currently meet the new governance criteria, so this code represents a significant change in the way sports are run. UK Sport is also considering the establishment of a compliance unit to conduct investigations into governing bodies.

The Indian Blog Express Motion Picture Producers’ Association has banned Pakistani actors, singers, and technicians from working on Indian films. The organization’s president, TP Aggarwal, said: “No Pakistani will be hired by their producer members forever.” However, as a crisis between Indian and Pakistan over attacks in the disputed territory of Kashmir escalates, other reports stated that the ban would last only until normal relations resume between the two countries. The IMPPA’s decision, carried at the organization’s annual general meeting on Friday, comes in the wake of the deaths on 18 September of 19 Indian soldiers in the Uri region, part of the disputed territory Kashmir. India blamed the assault on Pakistan-sponsored militants and this week launched strikes across the 1972 ceasefire line that divides the Himalayan region, The Haze.

Indian film producers ban Pakistani actors 'for ever' over Kashmir crisis 8

Ashoke Pandit, a producer, and IMPPA member said: “IMPPA paid homage to the martyrs killed in Uri. It, therefore, felt its responsibility towards the nation and passed a resolution banning Pakistani actors and technicians in India till normalcy returns. For IMPPA, the nation comes first. Separately, far-right political party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena has led a call for all film industry workers of Pakistani origin to leave India and their films to be banned. The party, led by Raj Thackeray, issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Pakistani movie workers to leave India by 25 September or risk being “pushed out.

Reports allege that Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has been dropped from the forthcoming film Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana. Several films scheduled for release during the Diwali holiday in October may also be affected, including Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which co-stars Pakistani pin-up Fawad Khan alongside Indian stars Aishwarya Rai and Ranbir Kapoor. Dear Zindagi, due to hit cinemas in November, it may also be affected. The film co-stars Pakistan’s Ali Zafar and India’s Shah Rukh Khan.

Adele usually wears controversy Cloud Light quite well, like a proudly displayed badge, rather than shy away from it. And she rarely (if ever) shies away from being brutally honest. As a singer of international renown and a near-invulnerable reputation for being one of this generation’s greats, her every statement carries weight. All of 27, and she’s really got nothing to hide. And this should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed her that she smoked or suffered vocal cord hemorrhages in 2011 and quit smoking completely to avoid further damage. There was also a realization that her 25-cigarettes-a-day would eventually kill her. But it’s what she said to Canada’s eTalk recently that got people talking.

She said, “The people with the best voices, they always smoke. I’ve given up smoking, and I’m convinced that’s made my voice weaker.” She mentioned that as a direct result of quitting, she has been unable to hold the high notes. Personally, we believe that it might be all in her head. Having smoked for as many years as she did, she might probably be coping with the difficulty of having to quit for health reasons. And as much as the fear of death from possible lung cancer scares her now, she has said in the past that “If I weren’t a singer, I would still be smoking 25-a-day. It’s my favorite thing to do.” We spoke to some of Bollywood’s best singers, and most didn’t agree with Adele on some or all counts. Here’s what they had to say.

Armaan Mallik, Kailash Kher,Neeti Mohan! Do the best singers smoke? 10

Singers should have clean minds and bodies’: Kailash Kher.

I’m afraid I have to disagree with Adele on this, but everybody’s nature is completely different. I believe it’s subjective. Maybe her body is used to it? Adele ke gaane humein pasand hain. Aur who bade unique Aur Pyar chain. She has soz in her voice — that element to singing where it has a common effect on all kinds of listeners. And so, main Melody Gardot our Adele di ko but meant hoon. And, sadly, she should think this way. Smoking is injurious to health; passive as well. But you never know. Maybe her statement was highlighted or taken out of context? I personally believe singers should have clean minds and bodies.

Maybe, it’s in Adele’s head?’: Hard Kaur

I disagree with Adele’s theory because if one has been singing from day one without smoking, it doesn’t become an excuse later. But maybe she feels that way in her head? Smoking is bad. Period! So, it can’t do you any good, and talking about smoking helps hit higher notes? I don’t think so, love.

Habits are for weak singers: Arko.

I smoke—all the time. I have no regrets. Habits are for weak singers. Singing is feeling. Only Adele knows what works for her’: Anushka Manchanda Every person is different, and so are the requirements and quirks. For example, I need to do solid stretching exercises for my body before I get on stage because my performances are high on physical energy. That may not be required by someone who sings concert-style or while sitting down. Some singers need a glass of whiskey to warm up before getting on stage, and others will not even touch alcohol. We can debate this, but only Adele knows what works for her.

We don’t need external substances to sing well’: Armaan Mallik.

A majority of the singers I know in the industry definitely do smoke. I don’t judge anyone for it. But I personally cannot stand within a mile of a person who smokes. It’s something that I have never associated myself with, and I am repulsed by it. I don’t think any of these things matter when it comes to being a singer. If you are a trained singer, your stamina, strength, and durability will be intact. As simple as that. Some people like having smokey voices to add a little extra vibe to their voice. At the same time, I believe in creating that same tone without smoked, which is our job. We don’t need to depend on an external substance to make us sing well.

Smoking doesn’t enhance the voice for sure’: Shefali Alvares.

I quit smoking when I got pregnant, and my voice did change. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad one. I started smoking again after I stopped feeding, and now I smoke two cigarettes a day. But I believe power and strength in the voice come from you and not from nicotine intake, so I’m not sure if I agree with Adele on that. I feel in the long run, smoking damages your vocal cords. I did smoke for many years before, and I actually feel that it wasn’t good for my voice. And what I did discover that I would actually hit the high notes when not smoking far more strongly than when I was. So, I don’t think smoking enhances the voice for sure. But it’s a habit that is super hard to kick and is also harmful to general health.

Smoking kills the music’: Neeti Mohan.

To be acknowledged as a singer, you don’t need to be a smoker. Many a time, audiences confuse musicians with the rockstar image. Yes, we do rock, and we do roll, but you don’t need drugs and alcohol to prove your credibility as a musician or garner a larger audience. Smoking kills the music in the musician eventually.

Smoking causes more damage and less good’: Sachin-Jigar

Smoking and singing don’t complement one another. We completely disagree with the fact that good singers need to smoke to sound good. In fact, it causes more damage and less good from even a health perspective. Smoking is one of the reasons for throat cancer, The Know It Guy.

Smoking is the worst possible habit for a singer’: Sukhbir.

I know many singers personally who don’t smoke and are doing just fine, Daler Mehndi, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, to mention a few. But smoking is the worst possible habit for the vocal cords. For one, it degrades lung function, and secondly, it promotes acid reflux, which is pretty bad. If Adele thinks her voice is affected by not smoking, it’s probably in her head, which needs to be addressed. Also, surgery is done directly on the vocal cords weakens its ability to function normally. I have spoken to a leading ENT specialist who agrees that smoking is detrimental to the vocal cords. Adele should stop sending the message that smoking may improve singing in any capacity because it doesn’t. Not one bit.

Smoking diminishes your skill as a singer: Kumar Sanu.

I can understand Adele’s pain if her prowess has diminished after quitting smoking, but here’s the thing. I don’t think what she believes is really true. The whole world knows smoking is harmful, on the whole. And when you talk about singers, they really don’t need to smoke, to be better singers. In my experience — and I’ve never smoked — I believe smoking diminishes your skill as a singer. I have hit the high notes in several of my songs, and it has always been my dedication that has worked. I never felt the need to supplement it with an outside source. I strongly advocate against it—all the best to Adele.

I have singer friends who smoke, but it’s their choice’: Divya Kumar

I can’t really comment in regards to smoking affecting the voice. I don’t smoke, neither do I promote the same. I have been practicing minus smoking, and I don’t think it’s affected my pitch. I know singer friends who smoke, but then it’s their choice and will remain so, but I can maintain that the outcome has been fab with their voice.

When I sit around smokers, my voice gets gruffer the next day’: Neha Bhasin

I haven’t experienced anything because I hate smoking, and it’s something I can’t stand. Though there are singers who do, and their pitch is fab, I wouldn’t be able to comment on their behalf. But when I sit around smokers, my voice gets gruffer the next day.

Oscar-winning singer Adele was recently Do Enjoy Life in the news for kicking the butt. The ‘Hello’ hitmaker said that she ditched the bad habit to avoid further damaging her vocal cords, apart from realizing that 25-cigarettes-a-day would eventually kill her. However, in a recent interview, the singer said, “The people with the best voices, they always smoke. I’ve given up smoking, and I’m convinced that’s made my voice weaker.

Adele’s statement has received some flak from B-town singers like Armaan Mallik, Neeti Mohan, Sachin-Jigar, and Neha Bhasin. ‘Jab Tak’ singer Armaan said that he didn’t think these ‘external factors’ mattered when it comes to being a singer.

Cinema owners deny lifting ban on Bollywood films 15Speaking of Images on the ban lift Lashari said, “I have never said any such thing, I am not holding any press conference.
“At the moment all we’re saying is that Fawad Khan is appearing in a Bollywood film [ADHM] and none of the scenes have been cut from his film, and we’re extremely happy – it’s a good gesture from the Indian side.”
He added that at the moment they’re still waiting to see how things turn out, however, there will be “no press conference about the ban being lifted, and we hope the media plays a positive role in making things normal.”
In regards to Fawad’s film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Lashari said, “There is a possibility [of it screening] since the government has issued ADHM and Shivay the NOC.”
Nadeem Mandviwalla owner of Atrium cinema, Karachi, and Centaurus cinema, Islamabad said he could not comment on the matter Travel Knowledge.
While Mohsin Yaseen of Cineplex said that such a decision has not yet come to his knowledge: “Officially there has been no announcement to us from the association but we will meet in a couple of days.”
As far as the screening of ADHM is concerned, he said the association will meet and decide in a few days. “We’re happy that ADHM is releasing in India with Fawad Khan in the film,” he said.
Khorezm Gultasab of Supercinemas, like Mohsin Yaseen, denied news of the ban being lifted. “No, I have no idea. There’s no news about this. If any such decision does take place the Chairman of Film Exhibitor Association will release an official statement saying so,” he said.
Jamil Baig of Nuplex said that there has been no decision thus far. On the release of ADHM, he said, “We’ve heard it’s releasing in India but it hasn’t been decided whether it will be screened here.”
IMGC Media and Marketing Manager Sabina Islam told Images that the ban has been lifted but only on one Bollywood film. “So far, we’re waiting to find out which film the ban has been lifted for. Of course, all films that are submitted will be played, but our agenda is to push the film in which Fawad Khan has been cast.”
“Till then we’re going to wait. However, it needs to be understood that things have escalated so much between both sides that we have to be very careful,” she added.
Although cinema owners have all denied the ban being lifted, they admitted that banning Bollywood films in Pakistan will only hurt them. “It will hurt them, it will hurt us. It will hurt legitimate business stake holders. The winner is the pirate,” Mandviwalla had said in an earlier interview.
