Patel’s contract as Barras coach renewed
The announcement was made by CPNG Chief Executive Officer, Greg Campbell. “Cricket PNG is fortunate to have Coach Patel on board with us as Head Coach…he is our longest serving coach and has done a tremendous job in shaping our cricket players into professional athletes both on and off field,” said Campbell. “His experience and coaching method is invaluable to our sporting code’s strive for excellence,” said Campbell. The former New Zealand cricket player made his decision to renew his contract last week. “As a coach I still have unfinished business especially with the Barramundis following our disappointment in missing out for the World T20 Qualifiers.“However qualifying for a World Cup would be on the list and I’ve been very impressed with the huge progress made,” said Patel. A coaching style described as “democratic”, Patel began his tenure as Head Coach in 2014 with the task of shaping emerging amateur players to fully fledged professional athletes. “I believe in sharing responsibilities with the whole group and empowering the players and coaches.“The expectations at all times at trainings and practices are to become the best in the world as individuals and as a team.“I explain to my support staff and players what is required and the objectives to achieve to become the ‘Best in the World’ and ultimately base my decisions on the player’s suggestions and needs. This allows me to define what to do and how to do it,” said Patel.Patel added that he has more expectations in his long term vision for Cricket PNG. “There are a number of areas that the Hebou Barramundis have excelled in, the players are a lot more professional on and off the field and we’ve increased our winning ratio consistently in all forms of the game which has been my main objective.The Barra’s individual records are always improving particularly in the I-Cup (4 Day Internationals),” “I’m always looking for challenges and to become a better coach than what I am at present both on and off the field. My philosophy is to always put higher expectations on myself than what I expect from the players,” said Patel.
It is not yet known when the match can be played, but it seems difficult before the City faces Real Madrid in the knockout stages of the Champions League, which would allow them to get a little more rested to the European event, since from today until February 26 they are only measured at Leicester city in the English league on Saturday, February 22.For the tie of Champions League, is doubt Raheem Sterling, as he acknowledged Pep Guardiola, which ensures that it is working to arrive on time, but it is not clear if it will reach one hundred percent: “Raheem has a hamstring injury, we’ll see. Of course, he needs weeks to recover, we’ll see if he’s ready for Madrid. Right now I don’t know.” The women’s team also faced West Ham and the match has also been postponed. Manchester City should have played this afternoon at 17:30 at Etidah Stadium against West Ham United the match corresponding to matchday 26 of the Premier League. However, the meeting has had to be postponed, as confirmed by the local team, due to weather conditions. The temporary Sabine, which has also forced to postpone the Germany the Borussia Mönchengladbach – CologneIt seems to be the reason. Premier League* Data updated as of February 9, 2020
Bobby Chung shot his way to top honours with an impressive 96 birds in the Jamaica Skeet Club’s grand finale, the CB Christmas Hamper competition, which was held at the Jamaica Skeet Club in Portmore recently. En-route to what could be considered a memorable victory, he upstaged national shooting champion Christian Sasso, who shot a second-best 90 birds. Despite not closing out the year on a winning note, Sasso was pleased with his performance and believes he “could have done better after missing some easy birds”. The reigning national champion noted that he is looking forward to intensive training and preparation to defend his championship in 2016, as well as some overseas-based tournaments. Next year, he has three such tournaments lined up for February in the United States. PRIZES A total of 95 shooters competed from 13 stations. The prizes included hams, gift baskets and certificates. Jamaica Skeet Club president, Khaleel Azan, said the turnout was bigger than last year. “We are extremely proud of the progress we have made this year. I hope that we can grow from what we did this year, and if we do, it would really be a major success because the growth in 2015 is far beyond what we expected.” In other action, Robert Subaran shot 85 birds to take the B Class, Jake Therrien 86 (Class C), Roman Tavares-Finson 78 ( Class D), Nicholas Benjamin 81 (Class E), and Jonah Subaran 66 (Class F). Renee Rickhi was the sole female winner, and took Class F with 59 birds.
reflex Actions The nervous system enables us to control and coordinate all the body activities. It enables performers to produce high-precision movements repeatedly, making them appear skilful, while other functions such as heartbeat carry on automatically. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves which supply all parts of the body. It is responsible for all our conscious (or voluntary) actions and has two main parts. The Central Structure of Nerve Cells The brain also receives information from three main types of receptor organs: 1. Exteroceptors – outside the body (eyes, ears etc.) 2. Interoceptors – Inside the body (chemical changes in blood or lungs) 3. Proprioceptors – From within muscles, tendons and joints. These are: a. Golgi tendon organs – detects the amount of stretch in a tendon b. Muscle spindle – detects stretch in muscles. c. Joint receptors – tell the brain at what angle the joints are positioned. The information pick up by these organs enables us to move our limbs quickly without the need to watch them. There are times when we are required to act quickly, for instance, if we touch something hot. This is where our reflexes come into play. The impulse does not need to travel to the brain for interpretation. The impulse travel in a fast arc from sensory, to relay to motor nerves. Moving the hand from the hot object is the withdrawal reflex which is similar to sneezing or blinking as a response to a foreign object in the nose or eye. Another example is the knee-jerk reflex known as stretch reflex, wherein a bang on the knee results in the leg extending. Next topic: The excretory and digestive systems This part of the nervous system is responsible for functions over which we have no control, for e.g. our heartbeat and digestion. These actions are controlled by the medulla oblongata, an area that forms the top of the spinal cord. This is divided into two sections: 1. The sympathetic nervous system – Responsible for preparing the body for action. It stimulates the adrenal gland and causes the heart rate and breathing rate to increase. It also slows down the functioning of organs not necessary for physical activity. This is known as the fight or flight response. 2. The parasympathetic nervous system – Responsible for slowing the body down and functions in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system. Types of Neurone There are three types of neuron. Each have a different function and this determines where the impulse is sent. 1. Sensory (afferent) neurons – These receive information from the sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin) and from receptors in the body and send impulse to the central nervous system (CNS) 2. Relay neurons – These are inside the brain or spinal cord and do the decision-making after the impulse from the sensory neurons reaches the brain. If a decision for action is taken, the impulse is past to the motor nerve. 3. Motor (efferent) neurons – These carry impulses from the CNS to muscles or organs. The cell body is inside the CNS and the axon leads out of it. Nerve cells or neurons carry information to or from the spinal cord and brain. They have three main sections: (a) Dendrites receive messages in the form of nerve impulses. (b) The nucleus is the main body of the cell. (c) The axon transmits the impulse away from the nucleus. Neurons are not actually connected to each other but are separated by a microscopic gap called the synaptic gap. Impulses are able to cross this gap via the release of a chemical substance called acelylcholine, which allows an impulse to travel through the nervous system at great speed. The Peripheral Nervous Involuntary Nervous System This consists of the nerve fibres that branch out from the spinal cord, and the various organs to which they are attached. Sensory nerves detect stimuli such as temperature, light, sound, touch, etc, and send nervous impulses to the brain. Once the information has been processed, the nervous impulses are sent out down the motor nerves to the muscles and glands, which carry out the necessary action Receptors and Nervous System This consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain is the central centre of the entire system and is where all the incoming (sensory) information are processed and from where the outgoing (motor) information originates. The spinal cord goes down the inside of the spinal column from the brain. It carries all the nerve (sensory and motor) messages (impulses) between the body and the brain.
Liberia’s international movie star Frank Artus has pledged his commitment to all actions promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment in Liberia and the rest of the world.He made the disclosure to newsmen on Friday at the UN Women office in Monrovia.Artus said he strongly believes that women deserve to live in a society free of violence and discrimination, where they will have the same opportunities as men to achieve their potentials.“I believe it is right that women be given the same opportunities as their male counterparts, because they too are involved in the policy and or decision-making of our country,” he said.“I am one of the men who believe that equality for women is a basic human right that should benefit all of us, for which I am committed to take action against gender discrimination and violence against women to build a just and equal world.”He noted that for too long men have kept in the shadows of efforts to promote women’s rights, but have unfortunately been at the center of most of the acts of violence against women and girls.Today, he said, men see the HeForShe campaign as an opportunity to come to the limelight to show to the world that they are part of the solution.He called on his fellow men to join the ‘HeForShe’ campaign to help make the country a better place for the girls, the mothers and sisters to live and enjoy life.Earlier, the Liberia Country Representative UN Women, Ms. Awa N. Seck, pledged her commitment to have a Liberian movie star supporting such initiative like the ‘HeForShe.’She recalled how the famous movie star has made many contributions in Liberia and the world in advancing the cultural agenda of Africa, while also representing Liberia on film.“We have continued to enjoy his agenda, particularly as a famous movie star. Having him in Liberia and having him accept our invitation to form part of the ‘HeForShe’ is welcoming, and we will count on him for his support,” she explained.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

At Phoenix, Oakland’s Mike Piazza was hit just above his left elbow by a pitch from Kansas City’s Brian Bannister, and the designated hitter came out of the Athletics’ 3-2 loss in 10 innings. Piazza has a bruised left triceps. Impressions from the seams of the baseball were visible on his elbow in the clubhouse after the game. Piazza doubled earlier to raise his spring training average to .444, third-best among A’s regulars. Jason Isringhausen struggled to throw strikes Tuesday in his first batting practice of spring training, another step as the St. Louis Cardinals closer comes back from hip surgery that sidelined him during the postseason. Isringhausen threw on a back field at Roger Dean Stadium while the Cardinals traveled to play the Baltimore Orioles. He looked sharp and threw strikes while warming up. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set! The right-hander, who went 11-12 with a 4.84 ERA with the White Sox a year ago, is 100-105 overall in 10 major league seasons. “Javier and his representative made a proposal that we felt was fair and made sense for us over the next several seasons,” White Sox general manager Ken Williams said in a statement. “Javier has expressed a desire to remain in Chicago, and based on what he has accomplished in his career and the familiarity and stability he has found with the White Sox and he city of Chicago, it’s a win-win situation for both sides.” Pitcher Javier Vazquez and the Chicago White Sox agreed Tuesday to a $34.5 million, three-year contract extension through 2010. Vazquez will get $12.5 million this season, the final year of his current contract, and $11.5 million in each of the following three seasons.

KEENE, N.H. – Hundreds of people were forced to evacuate their homes after a weekend of drenching rain washed out roads and flooded homes in states from North Carolina to New Hampshire. At least three deaths were blamed on the storm. New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch declared a state of emergency Sunday and called in 500 National Guard members to assist in flood relief. Transportation Commissioner Carol Murray said police and highway crews blocked damaged roads before dawn, a move that likely prevented injuries. “A quick assessment is we’re probably looking at months, not weeks” to make repairs, she said. AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREThe top 10 theme park moments of 2019 The most severe flooding in New Hampshire was in Keene, where some major roads were under as much as 4 to 6 feet of water, fire officials said. About 500 people were evacuated, and about 150 were staying at a shelter in a recreation center Sunday. In nearby Stoddard, residents were also told to leave. Officials heard reports that houses washed into rivers, dams were breached and bridges in several communities were washed out. “I looked out my window and all I could see – straight down – was water, right up against the building,” said Sean Weeks, 19, who was awakened by firefighters around 3:30 a.m. and told to evacuate. At least one person was killed in New Hampshire when a car went off a washed-out bridge in the town of Unity, said Pam Walsh, the governor’s spokeswoman. In Pennsylvania, a person died after a car struck a guardrail in Bucks County and flipped into a creek, trapping the driver. A car accident in New Jersey killed a 2-year-old boy, police said. In North Carolina, Gov. Mike Easley warned residents to stay away from swollen rivers and creeks, already high from Hurricane Ophelia last month. The state’s Department of Transportation reported 41 roads closed because of flooding.160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.
