SEOUL, May 15 (Reuters): North Korea said on Sunday a total of 42 people had died as the country began its fourth day under a nationwide lockdown aimed at stopping the impoverished country's first confirmed Covid-19 outbreak. North Korea's admission on Thursday that it is battling an "explosive" Covid-19 outbreak has raised concerns that the virus could devastate a country with an under-resourced health system, limited testing capabilities and no vaccine programme. State news agency KCNA said the country was taking "swift state emergency measures" to control the epidemic, but there is no sign that Pyongyang was moving to accept international offers of vaccines. "All provinces, cities and counties of the country have been totally locked down and working units, production units and residential units closed from each other since the morning of May 12 and strict and intensive examination of all the people is being conducted," KCNA reported on Sunday. A day earlier North Korean … [Read more...] about North Korea reports more deaths, says taking ‘swift measures’ against Covid-19 outbreak

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The 23-year-old official world-record attendance for a women's soccer match was broken in Barcelona last night as a crowd of 91,553 was recorded at Camp Nou during their UEFA Women's Champions League match against Real Madrid. The figure eclipses the mark of 90,185 set during the 1999 Women's World Cup final played at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Only matches at the unofficial 1971 Women's World Cup , which twice drew six-figure crowds of 100,000 for the Opening Match and 110,000 for the final, have ever attracted attendances for a women's sporting event in excess of tonight's at Camp Nou. That tournament was organized outside of the world governing body's (FIFA) jurisdiction by the Federation of Independent European Female Football (FIEFF). What is indisputable is that no women's club match has ever come close to this figure. Barcelona had played in front of the previous club record attendance of 60,739 away to Atlético de … [Read more...] about World-Record Crowd Of 91,553 Treated To Women’s Champions League Spectacle At Camp Nou

BITS focuses primarily on higher education and research in engineering and sciences. In 2005, Shubh Malhotra, an aspiring engineer got admitted to the Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS), Pilani’s new campus in Goa. As a member of the second batch of the Goa campus, Malhotra and his batchmates had the responsibility of building the infant campus to the legacy of the popular Pilani campus. Malhotra said, “The fests, events, and culture at large that Pilani is known for were absent on the new campus. We built the culture from scratch, working hard to bring in ideas, sponsorships, and innovation. And I am thankful to the institute which gave us the freedom to do so, without any interference. We practically built a startup unknowingly.” Reminiscing about the time he used to sit in his room gaming with his friends, Malhotra added, “People did not support gaming a lot, especially back in 2005 when I was studying at BITS.” Malhotra then went on to found MPL or … [Read more...] about Bit by bit the community at BITS is sailing the boat of entrepreneurial spirit

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Along with Menorca’s capital Mahón, Ciutadella on the west coast is the Spanish island’s only other real city, and was itself the capital during the 18th-century British occupation. Still small today, Ciutadella is one of those Mediterranean towns made for wandering in which you might hardly see a soul spent in an afternoon along its narrow streets lined with honey-colored houses. While you can enter the lovely little open courtyard of the Bishop’s Residence, the 13th-century cathedral itself might well be closed, and folks are all long gone from the historic little cast-iron fish market. It’s a town of a few oddities—all good ones. In the main square, Es Born, stands a curious 72-foot-high obelisk erected in the 19th-century to commemorate a 16th-century Turkish raid that decimated the town. There, and all around, the festival of Sant Joan on June 23-24 is a celebration of the indigenous Menorcan horse. In what is a kind of … [Read more...] about Ciutadella: Menorca’s Curious Second City

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Allison Robinson, the founder and chief executive officer of The Mom Project, had difficulty raising funding for her digital talent marketplace and community that connects mothers returning to the workforce with job opportunities that offer flexibility. After more than 100 meetings with venture capitalists, she noticed a trend. “If I had to pick an example of a stark difference between pitching men versus women, it would be that many male venture capitalists didn’t fundamentally understand the problem we were solving. I made it to a number of late-stage discussions to then be passed over on the grounds of the addressable market being too small,” Robinson says, “It’s mind-boggling. There are over 40 million moms in the U.S. and 86% will change employers for an opportunity that better fits her work-life considerations.” Robinson successfully pitched the female-led, early-stage venture capital firm BBG Ventures, which only invests in … [Read more...] about How To Close The Venture Capital Gender Gap Faster

Wang Yi (File image) Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit to India was damaged even before it began. Thirty six hours before the Foreign Minister’s arrival in New Delhi, the atmospherics surrounding the trip were vitiated by a forthright “rejection” by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of Wang’s “uncalled” for recent utterances. Whoever on Raisina Hill, the seat of power in New Delhi, took forward the proposal made by Beijing for this visit about 10 days ago did not do due diligence. It was known for weeks that Wang would attend a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), where Kashmir is routinely brought up. As and when it is brought up at any forum, China simply cannot look the other way because Kashmir is not a matter of foreign affairs for those who rule in Beijing. Like it or not, China is in physical possession of large parts of Kashmir, gifted to it long ago by Pakistan. Chinese possession of Kashmir is illegal and contravenes norms that … [Read more...] about A lost opportunity for India-China diplomacy

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Week in Review Asian equities saw another week of turbulent trading as the market continues to price in risks though Mainland China held up better than most markets in Asia this week and some markets were closed earlier in the week. Mainland media source Yicai Global reported Monday that Tiktok’s parent ByteDance might list the Chinese version of TikTok in Hong Kong, rebranding itself Douyin. China’s April PPI and CPI came in at 8.0% and 2.1%, respectively, slightly higher than expectations of 7.8% and 1.8%.
