Samoa´s government said the mobile vaccination teams had succeeded in ensuring 90 percent of the 200,000-strong population was immunised, up from around 30 percent when the epidemic began in mid-October. Photo: FileAPIA: A devastating measles outbreak has continued to spread in Samoa, with the death toll reaching 70, as the United Nations on Monday released $2.6 million in emergency aid to combat the epidemic.Official figures showed there were 112 new cases in the 24 hours to Monday morning, despite a massive immunisation drive last week that saw the entire Pacific nation shut down for two days.In New York, the UN undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, Mark Lowcock, announced the aid had been released."The people of Samoa will not fight this outbreak alone," Lowcock said in a statement. "We can and must move swiftly to stop this deadly outbreak in its tracks."The funds will go towards vaccinations, obstetric and neonatal care for infected mothers and newborns, clean water and public health information campaigns, the UN said.Samoa's government said the mobile vaccination teams had succeeded in ensuring 90 per cent of the 200,000-strong population was immunised, up from around 30 per cent when the epidemic began in mid-October.However, the vaccine takes 10-14 days to take effect, meaning it is too early to say whether the outbreak has peaked.The total number of cases was 4,693, with 229 people currently in hospital, including 16 critically ill children.Infants are the most vulnerable to measles, which typically causes a rash and fever but can also lead to brain damage and death.Among the 70 dead, 61 are children aged four or under.Health authorities have blamed "anti-vaxxers" spreading conspiracy theories for the low immunisation rate that left Samoa´s children so vulnerable to a measles outbreak.Outbreaks elsewhere in the Pacific, including Tonga, Fiji and American Samoa, have been easier to contain because of higher immunisation rates, with no deaths reported.

As millions of Indian women gazed at the moon in celebration of Karva Chauth, they were joined by an unlikely fellow spectator - the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, whose instruments recently captured the lunar surface from 100km above. #ISRO See the first illuminated image of the lunar surface acquired by #Chandrayaan2's IIRS payload.

Late last night when passengers travelling on the Goa-Mumbai Air India flight found themselves stranded in Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, due to a several-hour delay in their flight take-off, they were left distressed and fuming. The passengers began raising slogans within the airport premises after a four-hour delay. At this point, a Goa Forward Party office-bearer Ketan Bhatikar, who was one of the passengers on the delayed flight, decided to reach out to Goa CM Pramod Sawant and seek his intervention in the matter. Stranded at #Mumbai's #ChhatrapatiShivaji airport late on June 13 night for several hours, protesting passengers of an #AirIndia Bombay to Goa flight were offered free meal from an airport restaurant at the instance of Goa CM #PramodSawant, a passenger said. Photo: IANS pic.twitter.com/pf6wwG1VhR — IANS Tweets (@ians_india) June 14, 2019 Upon narrating their troubles, Sawant didn't only intervene but also gave a pleasant surprise to all the hassled passengers. The CM arranged food for all the passengers from Kebab Grill restaurant, and also made sure that the flight took off ASAP. What makes this all the more special is the fact that Sawant was not even in Goa at that point. He managed to get all this done sitting in the national capital where he was on a work trip. Several passengers including Goans thanked Chief Minister @DrPramodPSawant for helping arrange flight and food, the passengers were stranded at Mumbai Airport on Thursday night due to lethargy of Air India and were helped by CM Pramod Sawant. pic.twitter.com/QRTPCRONBX — PrimeTVGoa (@PrimeTVGoa) June 14, 2019 "I tried calling Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant who answered my phone within two rings at 1.13 am. He called me back five times, arranged food for all passengers at Indian Kebab Grill, and exactly at 1.27 am, he told me that the flight was ready to take-off in 30 minutes. We finally reached Goa at around 3.30 am," Bhatikar informed IANS. That was a very kind and thoughtful gesture on the Goa CM's part and shows other ministers the best way of holding offices and serving people in the truest sense.

Exactly a week from now will mark the one month anniversary since the last episode of 'Game of Thrones' was aired across the globe. While fans have not yet been able to get over the shocker that was the final season of 'GOT', it seems that the makers are not in the mood to let the fans get over the pain and disappointment any time soon. © HBO After HBO submitted the dissatisfactory final episodes from its highly criticised final season of 'Game of Thrones' for Emmy consideration, fans have been left furious. They simply cannot wrap their heads around why the worst episodes from the worst 'GOT' season were sent for the nominations. © HBO According to a TV Guide report, 'GOT' Season 8's only appealing episodes, 'Winterfell' and 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' have been overlooked in favour of the worst-rated episodes under the writing and directing categories. © HBO HBO submitted Miguel Sapochnik's name for 'Game of Thrones' season 8's 'The Long Night', David Nutter for 'The Last of the Starks', and DB Weiss and David Benioff for 'The Iron Throne', in the Best Directing category. Benioff and Weiss' script for the finale - 'The Iron Throne' - was the only submission in the Best Writing category. Fans are fuming at all the possibilities that this presents. so who thought it was a good idea for hbo to submit 8x06 of game of thrones for an emmy nomination in best writing category when this episode is of the most boring season finales to ever exist pic.twitter.com/UkI5dGFPdG — ellie (@odairannies) June 11, 2019 TFW you realize the best episode of #GameOfThrones' last season—"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," obviously—is submitted for neither Directing nor Writing at the #Emmys. pic.twitter.com/PpSDtxjI4q — Myles McNutt (@Memles) June 10, 2019 you: surely it's been a month and you've run out of new Game of Thrones things to complain about me: THEY DIDN'T SUBMIT A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS FOR OUTSTANDING WRITING OR DIRECTING AT THE EMMYS — Victoria Edel (@victoriaedel) June 10, 2019 The #GameofThrones team submitted their episodes for writing and directing Emmy categories and none of the ones submitted are the best one of the season.

Arguably one of the best footballers on the planet, Mohamed Salah continues to be a vital cog in Liverpool's title dreams in the ongoing season of the Premier League. For someone who started his career at the left-back position, Salah has thrived as a versatile forward, primarily playing as a winger on the right flank - a position he has made his own ever since arriving at the Anfield. His pace and flair on the ball, decorated with good technique and an eye for goal, was in full display during Liverpool's 2-0 triumph over Chelsea at the Anfield on 14th April. After a goalless first half, the Reds were pushed in front by Sadio Mane whose brilliant header allowed the home side to take the lead in the 51st minute. Liverpool's first goal against Chelsea scored by Sadio Mane. #LIVCHE Cc: @KifsonWhoo, @mkah90 pic.twitter.com/nGgJ26O810 — LineKicker (@LineKicker) 14 April 2019 Two minutes later, Salah worked his magic to double the lead for Liverpool. The 26-year-old picked the ball up on the right of the Chelsea box in the 53rd minute and arrowed a rasping, unstoppable drive from his stronger left foot beyond Kepa Arrizabalaga from 25 yards out to seal the game for the hosts. Mo Salah. The Egyptian King. #LFC pic.twitter.com/R2PSvvutgt — TheKop.com (@TheKop_com) 14 April 2019 While talking to Sky Sports after the match, Salah revealed that he was so far out that he felt he had to go with just "power" in a bid to beat the Chelsea shot-stopper. It was the first goal he had scored from outside the penalty box in the Premier League for more than a year. His brilliant strike powered Liverpool back to the top of the points table with arch-rivals Manchester City currently placed second with a game in hand. The social media was abuzz with Salah's brilliant goal as football fans across the globe lauded the Egyptian for his effort.

We are living in very interesting times where literally anything and everything is capable of stopping a game or a match. From a naked dude streaking across the field to elements in nature, no one can expect where the next obstacle in a match can come from. A few days ago, the 2nd ODI between India and New Zealand went on a halt because of sun outrage. And yesterday, another old mate came back onto the field to halt yet another match, none other than our beloved bees. © PTI Over the years we have seen many 'bee attacks', the most memorable one was witnessed in South Africa two years ago, when the host were playing against Sri Lanka. Something similar happened yesterday during the fourth one day match between India A and England Lions in Trivandrum, where the play came to a standstill for 15 minutes when a swarm of bees attacked the spectators at the stadium. An unexpected and painful turn of events took place at the Green Field International Stadium, as the match was just in its 28th over when the bees began to charge at the audience and left a lot of spectators in the stadium injured. All of this was captured in a video which went viral after the incident. Fortunately, none of the players at the stadium were seriously injured at the scene, as the bees did not enter the field. But the India A coach, Rahul Dravid, who was around the stadium at that time, had to run for his safety. A few spectators were taken to the hospital immediately because of the bee attack and the crowd at the stadium was shifted from the west side of the stadium to the east. The Chief Operating Officer of Sports Facilities Ltd told The Indian Express: "It was an unfortunate incident. We had ensured that the gallery where the spectators who sit for watching the match was cleaned ahead of the match. But it were some spectators who went upstairs where they were not supposed to go in the normal circumstances and stirred the hive unknowingly or mischievously." Though India won comfortably by 6 wickets, in which the recently named ICC Emerging player of the year, Rishabh Pant scored a blistering knock of 73 of 76 balls, and with Shardul Thakur assisting in the bowling department, team India safely secured the fourth straight win in the series.

You never feel your best when you are at the receiving end of a theft. Obviously. It gets especially worse when you are a student, always running low on money and even energy on most days for that matter, besides a lot of other stuff. This universal condition that is commonly shared by most students around the world, took an even uglier turn when a university student's laptop was stolen in UK. The incident was shared by the guy's flatmate on Twitter, who revealed that the stealing the laptop wasn't the last thing the thief did. In his Twitter post, Stevie Valentine shared how after his flatmate's laptop was stolen, the thief reached out to him and apologised for the theft in an earnest email, and even suggesting helping the guy out with his important university files.

A slew of social issues have found millennial voices, but mental health awareness still remains a taboo of sorts and Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone is out to change exactly that. The actress, who has always broken the glass ceiling by coming out in the open about her own troubles with depression, once again pledged support to the cause on the occasion of World Mental Health Day, on Wednesday. “In 2014, I was diagnosed with clinical depression. But, in India, 90% of people who suffer from depression don't seek help,” she said in a video shared on her Twitter account. “Depression is like any other illness that requires intervention.” In her message, she also normalised mental health disorders and urged patients to share their stories using the #NotAshamed hashtag. #NotAshamed pic.twitter.com/DgewpgBpn5 — Deepika Padukone (@deepikapadukone) October 10, 2018 A study conducted by the World Health Organization in 2015 showed that one in five Indians may suffer from depression in their lifetime, which is equivalent to 20 crore people. Due to the stigma associated with mental illness, a lack of awareness, and limited access to professional help, only 10-12 per cent of these sufferers will seek help. Another study, carried out by Assocham last year, showed that clinical depression has risen by around 50 per cent in the last eight years. It does not make discernible urban-rural demographic differences and also states that most people who commit suicide are below the age of 44. It adds that 42.5 per cent of employees in the Indian private sector are afflicted with general anxiety disorder or depression, as compared to government employees. A private sector employee in India works for a minimum of 48-50 hours a week when compared to 33 hours a week in the UK and 40 hours a week in the US. In addition, the pay in these developed countries is almost six times more even after deducting the indexing prices and cost of living. According to 'Mental Health: TLLLF National Survey Report 2018,' commissioned by The Live Love Laugh Foundation (TLLLF), more than 75 percent of participants stated they would always feel sympathetic towards mental health patients. In the same vein though, they also exhibited feelings of fear (14 per cent would always be fearful), hatred (28 per cent feel hatred sometimes or always), and anger (43 per cent feel angry sometimes or always) towards people with mental illness. More than a quarter admitted that they would always be 'indifferent' towards people with mental illness. These admissions indicate the prevalent stigma in society, which when clubbed with an acute shortage of mental health specialists, presents the grim reality of the situation in India. The death of the globe-trotting, fine-dining Anthony Bourdain – he committed suicide in a Paris hotel room earlier this year – brought to fore our failings on a global level as well. Is there a solution, then? Diverse programmes and legislation, including the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram and the Mental Health Care Act, could prove to be steps in the right direction for patients in India. But, as Harvard professors Vikram Patel and Shekhar Saxena write in their Indian Express column, proper implementation would require a genuine partnership of a diverse range of groups. From the mental health and development communities to policymakers and civil society, one and all need to come together to transform mental health across the country.

Often compared with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, Neymar has established a reputation as one of the biggest stars in the footballing world. On the back of brilliant ball control and street-smart skills, the Brazilian became a vital cog in Barcelona's front line before departing for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). But, despite his footballing prowess, Neymar has often been left red-faced. His theatrics at the FIFA World Cup in Russia earlier this year gave birth to hilarious memes that thronged social media throughout the tournament. While some slammed him for his play-acting, others just couldn't help but poke fun at the Brazilian footballer. While the World Cup might have ended, the jokes on Neymar don't seem to be ending soon. © Reuters The UEFA Champions League clash between Liverpool and PSG was expected to be an exciting contest, but it had a lot more than one expected. Twin strikes from Daniel Sturridge and James Milner gave the Reds a 2-0 lead. However, Les Parisiens came roaring back thanks to Thomas Meunier and KylianMbappe. With the match turning into a dogfight, it was Roberto Firmino who eventually netter the winner for Liverpool. ðµ Outrageous.

Receiving the ball near the right corner flag, Mane approached the backtracking Neymar, and his quick feet, clubbed with a rapid change of direction left the PSG winger going the wrong way while the Senegalese sped off closer to goal. The short video of Mane's brilliance was tweeted by the UEFA on Twitter where the Liverpool star's move was labelled as the 'Skill of the Day'. And, as soon as the video was shared, football fans across the globe took turns to poke fun at Neymar and laud the Senegalese footballer for his skill.

One of the highly popular and most decorated wrestlers in the country, Sushil Kumar became the face of Indian wrestling when he bagged a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Two years later, he became the first Indian to win a world title in wrestling after his triumphant campaign at the World Wrestling Championships. It was arguably the 2012 London Olympics that truly established Sushil as the undisputed champion in Indian wrestling. Improving on his Olympic stint in 2008, Sushil clinched a silver medal after losing the final bout to Japan's Tatsuhiro Yonemitsu. In the process, Sushil became the first individual to win two Olympic medals for independent India. But, just when his fans and India's wrestling fraternity expected him to scale new heights, the Delhi wrestler faltered and, since then, has struggled to replicate the success he attained early in his career. From being accused of spiking the drinks of his fellow countryman Narsingh Yadav to instigating a brawl with his disciple-turned-rival Parveen Rana, Sushil's reputation as India's famed wrestler has taken a major hit in the past few years. © BCCL However, despite all the controversies surrounding him, Sushil has rarely let it affect his mindset or performance on the mat - something that was thoroughly highlighted in his gold-medal finish at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Locking horns with South Africa's Johannes Botha, Sushil took just 80 seconds to win the men's 74kg final bout 10-0 on the back of technical superiority. Thus, when the Indian contingent was announced for this year's Asian Games in Palembang and Jakarta, Sushil was undoubtedly labelled as one of the country's biggest medal hopes. A shrewd tactician and an experienced campaigner, Sushil was once again expected to shine for his country in the 74kg category of freestyle wrestling. But, contrary to popular perception and to the sheer disappointment of Indian fans, Sushil suffered a shocking loss after failing to get past Bahrain's Adam Batirov in the qualification round of the event. The Indian wrestler's chances of securing a bronze medal through the repechage were also dashed after Batirov lost his quarterfinal bout to Japan's Yuhi Fujinami. © Reuters Locking horns with Batirov, the two-time Olympic medallist initially found himself leading the bout 2-1 after the first period. However, the Bahrain wrestler made a sensational comeback to put Sushil on the backfoot. The Indian star did create a couple of opportunities to score in the second period but his failure to convert those into valuable points eventually saw him losing 3-5 and, thereon, getting knocked out from the Games. Talking about the match, Sushil said, "It (the defeat) was not expected. The 57kg world champion was sitting beside me and 'he said he lost. I told him don't worry, I have lost. It's part of sport'. I will come back again. We can't be overwhelmed by defeats or victories. It won't lead you anywhere." Defending his tactics, he said: "It was not a slow start. If I am leading, I can't attack much. I made a mistake by attacking him later on when I just needed to defend. I am playing a big event after four years, that is why there were small mistakes. I did not play many big events in four years. There was not much time between CWG and Asian Games, so I could not play better tournaments to prepare. This is the only reason for today's defeat". For a man who was expected to secure a medal for India at the Games, Sushil's first-round exit sent shockwaves across the country with his fans expressing their disappointment on the social media.

Aakash Chopra's Food Bill For 7 Lakh Sends Twitter Into A Serious Meltdown
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
For a man who lurked in the shadows of prominent stars for the better part of his playing career, Aakash Chopra still had a fairly decent run in the domestic circuit. Playing for Delhi, he scored 783 runs in the 2007-08 season to guide his team to the Ranji Trophy title. The same season saw him scoring 310 runs and playing a pivotal role in North Zone's title-winning campaign in the Duleep Trophy. Post-retirement, Chopra began his second innings in cricket and quickly became one of the most highly sought after commentators and analysts of the game. Thanks to his know-how of the game, the 40-year-old has struck a chord with Indian fans, who have been ardent followers of the former Delhi cricketer on social media. © BCCL He is one of those rare individuals, who has the capability of influencing the minds of fans and drawing a reaction, something that many can only dream of. A similar incident came to the fore recently, when Chopra shared a photograph of what looked like a restaurant bill on social media. Paid nearly 7 Lac for a meal ðð¤£ðð Welcome to Indonesia ð®ð©ð pic.twitter.com/LYySPXPN3c — Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) July 15, 2018 While the food items - which mainly included Indian vegetarian dishes - appeared in order, it was the total amount of the bill that left everyone scratching their heads. The former Indian cricketer apparently paid close to 7 lakh for what looked like an ordinary meal in Indonesia. "Paid nearly 7 Lac for a meal. Welcome to Indonesia," he tweeted. Known for his wit and humour, Chopra was trying to poke fun at his fans by claiming that he paid 7 lakh for a meal. But, in reality, he paid 7 lakh Indonesian rupiah, which translates to around Rs 3,300. While some fans came up with witty replies, others trolled the Indian commentator for his post. Translates to approx. 3500 in Indian rupees :) — Navneet Mundhra (@navneet_mundhra) July 15, 2018 How cheap is this even not a engineer get 7 lakh per annum — Suraj Mishra (@SurajMi51087850) July 15, 2018 Akash bhai sorry to say....but this post not suitable to u bcz u r always been a good analyst...

Following a two-year ban from the tournament, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) couldn't have made a stronger comeback than they did in the eleventh edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The yellow brigade stunned defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in the tournament opener and staked their claim as the title contenders on the back of consistent performances this year. Their recent win against table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) was a testimony to how CSK have negated their opponents and thrived under pressure this season. While their prolific run, which has now propelled them to the IPL final, has been derived from a collective effort, the leadership skills and batting prowess of their captain MS Dhoni cannot be overlooked. © BCCI The Jharkhand cricketer has amassed 455 runs including three fifties to emerge as Chennai's second highest run-scorer this season. He has also slammed 24 fours and 30 sixes which goes on show how good he has been with the willow. Thus, there is no surprise to see the Chennai fans showering praise on their 'Thala' this season. But, while Dhoni has enthralled the CSK fans convincingly so far, his exploits on the field have also earned him accolades from one particular Bollywood actor - Ranveer Singh. The 32-year-old actor has been a self-proclaimed Chennai fan and has been a regular face in the stands at their fixtures this season. Keeping close tabs on CSK, Ranveer was also present at the Wankhede stadium where Chennai edged past Hyderabad to reach the IPL final. And now, he has come up with a special message for his "Jaan" Dhoni. Around the same time last night...this happened! @RanveerOfficial @msdhoni #WhistlePodu ð¦ð pic.twitter.com/mfRTnICfhu — Chennai Super Kings (@ChennaiIPL) May 23, 2018 In a video message shared by the official Twitter handle of CSK, Ranveer said: "I came here to see my hero, my jaan MS – the lion in action. He captained absolutely impeccably as always and got them (SRH) out for a really low score. But CSK in spot of bother but still in fight. Hoping for the best. Whistle Podu. Come on". After their brilliant run this season, Ranveer and all the other CSK fans, will once again be counting on Dhoni to help his side clinch their third IPL title on 27th May. Chennai, who have already reached the final, now await their opponents who will be decided via Qualifier 2 between Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on 25th May.
