Usha International is the first brand in India to promote Ultimate, originally known as Ultimate Frisbee, a non-contact team game played with a flying disc. In the early '80s, Usha International’s former chairman late Siddharth Shriram, who was a golf enthusiast, was thinking of ways to bring fitness to city dwellers’ lifestyles. With Shriram’s goal in mind and with his direction and drive, the company flagged off one of the first marathons in the country.

As a brand, we haven’t taken authority on any particular sport. We have always been enablers and have focused on creating partnerships to enhance sports … [Read more...] about Storyboard18 x Just Sports | How Usha International is nurturing sports culture in India

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Tuesday’s shooting in Uvalde, Texas, which left at least 19 children dead, serves as a harrowing reminder that firearms became the leading cause of death for young Americans in 2020, and researchers suggest Congress’s 1996 decision— at the urging of the National Rifle Association — to block spending for research focused on prevention and solutions hampered efforts to address the issue for decades. Key Facts In 2020, firearm-related deaths overtook motor vehicle crashes as the leading cause of death for Americans ages 1 to 19, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data analyzed in a research paper published in the New England Journal Medicine last month.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A heavily redacted Command Investigation into the “apparent striking of a submerged object by USS Connecticut ,” one of America’s three Seawolf Class submarines, paints a grim picture for the U.S. Navy. The investigation, completed 7 months ago and only released this week, portrays a Navy in real crisis. It is unclear what—if anything—the Navy has done to date that fundamentally addresses what appears to be a disastrous breakdown in submariner standards, basic discipline, and operational competence. It portrays a Navy unready for conflict, rife with major, long-standing navigational oversights in key, contested operational areas. Certainly, the Navy handled the ceremonial, unit-level discipline well. It fired the command trio of the submarine days after the investigation closed and instituted a rolling, force-wide “ navigation stand down ” two weeks later. But that is not enough. With the nation … [Read more...] about Navy Releases Grim USS Connecticut (SSN 22) Investigation; DoD Must Demand Accountability
