Waste from discarded electronics piling up

UN urges for better recycling

of hazardous rubbishNew York, Dec 14

The United Nations has warned that waste

from discarded electronics like mobile

phones, laptops and refrigerators is piling up

worldwide, and urged for better recycling of

the hazardous rubbish. A report by UN's

International Telecommunication Union, the

UN University and the International Solid

Waste Association said, full 44.7 million tonnes of e-waste was generated around

the world in 2016 which was eight percent up from two years earlier. It said, by

2021, the world will likely be cluttered with a full 52.2 million tonnes of such

waste. The report said, the waste, which can pose serious risks to human health

and the environment, is rarely recycled or properly discarded. Ruediger Kuehr

of UNU's Sustainable Cycles Programme said the most promising approach to

reducing e-waste is a system where consumers no longer purchase devices, but

instead only the services they provide.

ICC lays down guidelines for four-day

Test, each day to have minimum 98 oversDubai, Dec 14

South Africa and Zimbabwe will

play the first ever four-day Test

match and the International

Cricket Council has laid down

the template for the match. The

board has decided that

everyday, a minimum of 98

overs will be bowled that means

a total of 392 overs in four days.

In a five-day game, a total of

450 overs are bowled. Also, a

five-day game has six-hours

from start to finish but the four-

day game will be stretched to

six-and-a-half hours. Another

big change is the playing rules

is that follow-on was reduced

from 200 runs to 150 runs. This

gives a better chance to teams

who play aggressive cricket to

force a result.

The breakdown of the day’s

play will include three sessions

of two hours and fifteen minutes

each. The Lunch time will be of

40 minutes while the Tea time

will be 20 minutes. This is similar

to the five-day format. A 30-

minute overtime will also be

available just like the five-day

game. South Africa and

Zimabwe are playing a day-

night four-day Test so the Tea

break will be of 20 minutes and

the supper break, which will be

the second break of the match,

will be of 40 minutes. But both

intervals combine for only an

hour. The match will begin at

3:30 pm IST on Boxing Day

(December 26) in Port

Elizabeth. The South Africa-

Zimbabwe game will be the first

four-day Test but ICC may go

for more such matches in next

couple of years as many have

argued that five-day games are

losing their popularity.

Man City racks up record

15th straight league winSwansea, Dec 14

Another win, another record

for rampant Premier League

leader Manchester City. And

this one might be the most

impressive of the lot. By beating

Swansea 4-0 on Wednesday,

City racked up its 15th straight

victory a feat never achieved

in the 129-year history of

England’s top division.

Second-place Manchester

United also won, beating

Bournemouth 1-0 through

Romelu Lukaku’s goal to keep

the gap at the top to 11 points,

but chasing down its cross-

town rival looks to be a forlorn

hope at this rate. City is

unbeaten after 17 games and

has now scored 52 goals,

the latest coming at Liberty

Stadium through David Silva

(2), Kevin De Bruyne and

Sergio Aguero against last-

place Swansea.

Project Officer, SSA & RMSA inaugurated the

exhibition. He appealed the teachers to bring out the

talents of the young scientists by guiding them

properly. Shri. Mammen Thomas, District Project

Officer, RMSA & Smti. Sangeeta Chand, Principal, Girls

Sr. Sec. School, were also present on this occasion.
