In the United States, the positive contributions from private consumption (0.5 percentage point) and investment (0.2 percentage point) were the main drivers of overall GDP growth (0.5%).

In the United Kingdom on the other hand, stock building contributed 0.7 percentage point to overall GDP growth (0.4%), followed by private consumption (0.5 percentage point). In Germany,private consumption was the main contributor to GDP growth (0.3%), with 0.3 percentage point, followed by government consumption and stock building (0.2 percentage point each).

In France, stock building was the main driver of overall GDP growth (0.3%) with 0.7 point percentage, with private and government consumption providing minor positive contributions. InItaly, GDP grew by 0.2%, with positive contributions mainly coming from private consumption and government consumption (0.3 and 0.2, respectively). In Japan , GDP growth became positive (0.3%), with minor positive contributions of all expenditure categories, except destocking which slightly dragged down growth by 0.2 percentage point.

Hero Women’s Professional Golf Tour 2016 – Leg 2


Vani grabs lead on day 2

Ahmedabad, 13 January 2016: Vani Kapoor fired 4 under 68 in the second round to grab the lead in the second leg of the Hero Women’s Professional Golf Tour at the Kalhaar Blues & Greens here on Wednesday. Trailing by a margin of four strokes in tied second position are Kiran Matharu and Amandeep Drall with a total score of 146. The INR 7,00,000 event will culminate tomorrow.
Hero Order of Merit leader Vani Kapoor started the day at tied second position after playing a birdie-less round yesterday. However, the youngster from Delhi was in supreme form today. She played a bogey-free front nine with two birdies on the 2nd and 3rd holes. She fired four more birdies in the latter half on the 11th, 12th, 13th and 15thholes while dropping just two shots on the 10th and 18th to finish with a total score of 142 after 36 holes. Her tally of six birdies was the maximum by any player in the second round. With a four stroke cushion, Vani will be eyeing her second consecutive title of the season tomorrow.
Overseas player Kiran Matharu carded 1 under 71, only the second sub-par score of the round to jump into tied second position. She started impressively, carding two birdies on the 1st and 3rd holes.  She added another on the 12th hole, but two bogies on the 10thand 11th meant that she had to settle for a tied second place. Panchkula’s Amandeep Drall carded an even par 72 on the day to retain her tied second position. Her round included three birdies on the 2nd, 5thand 13th holes with an equal number of bogies on the 4th, 10th and 18th to finish with a total score of 146 after the second round.
Kapurthala golfer Gursimar Badwal carded 1 over 73 in the second round to take the fourth position with a score of 150. She carded five birdies on the 2nd, 6th, 11th, 13th and 14th holes, while dropping shots on the 10th and 18th along with two double bogies on the 3rd and 15th. Overnight leader Smriti Mehra could not reproduce her form of yesterday, and carded 7 over 79 in the second round. She is tied for the fifth position with Delhi’s Ankita Tiwana with a total score of 152. Following them are Chandigarh’s Saaniya Sharma and Delhi’s Mehar Atwal who are placed seventh and eighth respectively.

WHAT ARE ANIMALS THINKING? 
A film by Michael Bicks and Anna Lee Strachan, 60 minutes
Have you ever wondered what’s going on inside your pet’s mind? We’ll find out how a beehive resembles a human brain and whether your dog is really feeling guilty when it gives you that famous “guilty” look.
Do dogs feel guilty? Can rats feel empathy? We project very complex- and human-emotional lives onto our animal companions. Now, scientists studying animal cognition are finally revealing the machinery of animals’ moral compasses.

PEACEFUL LIVING, PEACEFUL DYING
with Ven. Sangye Khadro
About the Workshop:
Each of us will have to go through the experience of dying one day. Before that happens, we will probably experience the deaths of loved ones and friends. This workshop will explore ways to prepare oneself for death, to be able to die with a peaceful and positive state of mind, and how to be of benefit to others when they are dying.
The workshop will encompass:
    • perspectives on death,
    • the truth of impermanence,
    • meditating on death, preparing for death,
    • helping others who are dying,
    • exercises and meditation
About the Resource Person:

She became a nun in Nepal the following year, and received full ordination (bhikshuni) in 1988.

“I first taught this workshop in Singapore in the early 90s, and since then have taught it in many other places around the world.

The team which managed to beat Uttar Pradesh Wizards last year in a third place playoff has made some crucial buys for the 4th edition of the Coal India Hockey India League the premier League for hockey in the world today. The six team annual franchise based hockey league, the flagship event of Hockey India – the apex body governing the sport in the country and sanctioned by the International Hockey Federation (FIH) will see Delhi Waveriders open their account for the 2016 season against last year Runner’s up Jaypee Punjab Warriors at Chandigarh on 20 January 2016.
The team under the guidance of Head Coach Cedric D’ Souza, will look forward to an impressive season this year, acquiring a good set of Indian and overseas players. The Indian players who will be on display for the Delhi Waveriders are young and full of promise. The major Indian retentions which has been made by the Delhi team include star forward Yuvraj Walmiki who has been making a mark for himself in the sport. Yuvraj, who spent some time last year away from the sport will be looking forward to make the Coal India HIL 2016 his pavement to make an entry back into the Indian national team. The forward line for Delhi Waveriders also features the 22 year old Talwinder Singh who will look forward to continue with his good form. Talwinder will be accompanied by his team mate Mandeep Singh who was acquired for a sum of $70,000 by the franchise.

Greenpeace India
Dear Naresh,
My name is Ravi Chellam, and I am excited to meet you in my new role as the Executive Director of Greenpeace India.
I come from a background of wildlife research and conservation and my passions include reading, composting and cricket. I was the highest wicket taker in Tamil Nadu for the first half of the 1984-85 season! If not an environmentalist, I would have definitely been a cricketer!
I have been supporting Greenpeace for a long time. In taking on this new challenge, this is my hope and vision for India’s environment. Please watch the video below to know more.
Naresh, 2016 is a fresh start for all of us. I am proud of our country’s democratic and inclusive values that respect dissent and celebrate diversity. It is these values that form Greenpeace’s mission to campaign for an India that has safe air, water and food as well as flourishing wildlife.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank you for being a part of the Greenpeace journey and wish you a very happy new year.
Looking forward to getting to know you,

Ravi Chellam
