Mr Morea is in touch with Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah and the Bengaluru civic body officials for setting up the gym in Benguluru, the associate said.. However, Mr Morea did not respond to text messages seeking his comment. Mr Morea had set up the open-air gyms in June last year, which was inaugurated by Mr Thackeray.

"So, if one of the companies keeps the shares of the other, it is a related party transaction.. ONGC will not be required to make an open offer to minority shareholders of HPCL after buying out government's 51. Government is 51 per cent owner of HPCL and 68 per cent owner of ONGC.In the present case, "In ONGC, I am transferring from direct government control to indirect holding," he said.ONGC already is majority owner of MRPL, which has a 15- million tons refinery. That time, IBP was being offered for outright sale, so when management chose to sell through bidding, the open offer got triggered," the official said, requesting anonymity. HPCL will continue to be a separate listed company.Way back in February 2002, state-owned Indian Oil Corp (IOC) had acquired government&Lengthening Socket Ratchet Wrenches39;s 33.8 million tonnes of annual oil refining capacity to ONGC's portfolio, making it the third-largest refiner in the country after IOC and Reliance Industries. Government will indirectly hold # stake in the company," he said. But that does not mean government has sold the company. "When upstream business is down, downstream does great and vice versa. So now ONGC will be able to better manage its risks," he said."It is a related party transaction which should not trigger takeover code unless the valuations are absurd.As per Sebi's takeover code, if a company acquires more than 25 per cent in another listed company, it has to make an open offer to minority shareholders to buy at least 26 per cent more in the target firm.From being a mere oil and gas producer, it will also have downstream oil refining and fuel retailing business.11 per cent stake in fuel retailing and marketing company Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd. If those conditions are satisfied, it will never happen.TheCabinet Committee on Economic Affairs(CCEA) last week gave in-principal approval ofOil and Natural Gas Corp(ONGC) buying out government's entire 51. Reliance Industries was among the bidders.ONGC will not need to make open offer as government's holding is being transferred to another state-run firm. "IOC and IBP merger had happened through bidding route. We have kept in mind interest of both ONGC and HPCL," the official said."Open offer is not required because the management complexion is not changing.11 per cent stake.68 crore and had to make an open offer for additional shares.11 per cent stake as the deal won't trigger takeover norms as did the IOC-IBP merger in 2002, a senior government official said.58 per cent stake in fuel retailer IBP Co Ltd for Rs 1,153. So it is a related party transaction," the officer said. "Through this vertical integration, what private sector could not achieve, the government has achieved," he added.The deal, which flows from Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's Budget announcement of creating an integrated oil company, will help ONGC spread its risks.

Thus was born, One Side Ratchet Socket WrenchCloseOpenDefaecation. And it is just the beginning. And who better to partner with than an international bathroomware brand. But when people went inside, they were in for a surprise.Ankur Garg and Debanjan Basak, creative directors of Dentsu Impact were approached and they helmed this project. Immediately, people pledged to #CloseOpenDefecation by signing up on the We Are Water Foundation portal. We are extremely proud, excited and happy about the idea and execution. # People with means and ideas must come together to contribute to put a stop to this human disaster.”Debanjan and Ankur are not resting yet.. For this, not just government initiatives, but individual participation is important.However, about 250 million people in rural India have no access to a toilet — their idea of it is an open field or a railway track. They want more people to come into its fore.”They further added that: "The campaign has garnered 428,000 views so far.Children and women holding placards delivered the hard facts and adverse effects of open defecation.However, about 250 million people in rural India have no access to a toilet — their idea of it is an open field or a railway track. Children and women holding placards delivered the hard facts and adverse effects of open defecation. Yes, toilet — we have them in our homes, in public spaces — clean, hygienic and private. It made them uncomfortable but also sensitised them to the plight of a vast section of our population used to defecating in the open. This jolted everyone out of their reverie. In their words: "The World Toilet Day presented us with an opportunity to exploit our own creativity in a way that could actually bring about a change. Hope it does even better. They came face to face with a sight, which is a reality for about 250 million people in rural India — a railway track for a defecating area.To bring this scenario to the fore, We Are Water Foundation, the CSR wing of Roca Group, and Dentsu Impact, the creative agency for Roca and Parryware, have come together to launch a movement to address open defecation. With each sign up/pledge, the foundation is contributing to the construction of more toilets. We take our blessings for granted — water, electricity, transport and toilet. On November 30, right below the top trending topic on Twitter #FarmersMarch, there was another handle trending at the No. 2 spot #CloseOpenDefecation, a campaign designed by the advertising agency Dentsu Impact and We Are Water Foundation, aimed at addressing a human crisis, which is our shameful reality. They are hopeful about the power of the digital medium, which has enabled them to reach out to a vast audience within a short while and gather their support. They are excited about doing something beyond traditional client briefs and marketing endeavours.On November 19, the World Toilet Day, the bathroomware brand ran a social experiment at Gurgaon, Haryana. It is the start of a huge mission to end open defecation in India. Needless to say, this system of open defecation leads to several issues, which are obviously hygiene and health-related, and not to mention the countless cases of rapes and abuses on the road to open defecation. They wish to invite and generate more unique ideas to spread consciousness. A makeshift public toilet was constructed.While we go about our daily business in our urban bubble, we seldom pay attention to the condition of the vast majority of our countrymen living on the fringes of our urban spaces and villages.

"What really matters is I got the win. Hopefully I'll just get better."By the time Williams opened the night session the rain that prompted organisers to close the new roof on Arthur Ashe stadium had tailed off.Murray had played with it drumming on the roof, adding to the noise the US Open is famous for."You can't hear anything, really," said Murray, who downed tenacious Spaniard Marcel Granollers 6-4, 6-1, 6-4."I mean, you could hear the line calls, but not so much when he was hitting the ball or even when you're hitting the ball, really, which is tough."Nevertheless, after needing seven set points to seal the first frame, Murray broke Granollers twice in the second set and once in the third to move through to a meeting with Italian Paolo Lorenzi, a 3-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-7 (1/7), 7-6 (7/3) winner over France's Gilles Simon.Juan Martin del Potro, who has undergone four wrist surgeries since lifting the US Open trophy in 2009, closed out the action on Ashe with a 7-6 (7/5), 6-3, 6-2 victory over 19th seeded American Steve Johnson.Del Potro, ranked 142nd in the world as he battles back from the injuries that nearly cost him his career, is back in the Open as a wildcard after a sparkling run to a silver medal in the Rio Olympics.Wawrinka win in straight sets:As the showers lingered, a batch of doubles matches scheduled for outside courts were cancelled.Among those who didn't have the luxury of the roof, 2014 finalist Kei Nishikori of Japan waited out a third-set rain delay en route to a 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over 20-year-old Russian qualifier Karen Khachanov.Third-seeded Swiss Stan Wawrinka, a two-time semi-finalist, was also up against a qualifier, advancing with a 6-1, 7-6 (7/4), 7-5 victory over 243rd-ranked Italian Alessandro Giannessi.Eighth-seeded Austrian Dominic Thiem downed Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 to line up a meeting with Spain's Pablo Carreno-Busta, who rallied from two sets down to beat Serbian Janko Tipsarevic 3-6, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-4.Australian Nick Kyrgios, the 14th seed, put on a serving clinic, firing 27 aces and winning 45 of 48 first-serve points in a 7-5, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Argentina's Horacio Zeballos.Women's fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland survived an early onslaught from US Open debutant Naomi Broady to beat the Briton 7-6 (11/9), 6-3.Fired-up fifth seed Simona Halep also advanced, downing Lucie Safarova 6-3, 6-4 in a battle of former French Open finalists.Venus Williams, the sixth seed whose seven Grand Slam titles include two US Opens, coasted to the 70th US Open match win of her career 6-2, 6-3 win over Germany's Julia Goerges.The elder Williams, bedevilled by 63 unforced errors in a scrappy first-round win over Offset Double Ring Ratchet Spanner Ukrainian Kateryna Kozlova, cut that to 17 in a crisp performance against the 64th-ranked German.

OpenDXL Ontology enables automatic integration, communication between disparate security technologies via open source standard and code. The newly formed Open Cybersecurity Alliance was launched in October 2019. The Open Cybersecurity Alliance (OCA) today announced the availability of OpenDXL Ontology, the first open source language for connecting cybersecurity tools through a common messaging framework. With open source code freely available to the security community, OpenDXL Ontology enables any tool to automatically gain the ability to communicate and interoperate with all other technologies using this language. By eliminating the need for custom integrations between individual products, this release marks a major milestone in the OCA’s mission to drive greater interoperability across the security industry.The newly formed Open Cybersecurity Alliance was launched in October 2019 to connect the fragmented cybersecurity landscape with common, open source code and practices that allow companies to "integrate once, reuse everywhere.” Governed under the auspices of OASIS, the OCA now includes more than 25 member organizations and has brought two major interoperability projects into the open-source realm, with OpenDXL Ontology (contributed by McAfee) and STIX Shifter (contributed by IBM Security) now available for cross-industry collaboration and development on GitHub.In addition to the availability of OpenDXL Ontology, the OCA is also announcing the formation of its Technical Steering Committee, including leaders from AT&T, IBM Security, McAfee, Packet Clearinghouse, and Tripwire, who will drive the technical direction and development of the organization.Open Source Language Schema to Connect Security ToolsThe Open Data Exchange Layer (OpenDXL) is an open messaging framework that over 4,100 vendors and enterprises already utilize to develop and share integrations with other tools. The release of the OpenDXL Ontology now offers a single, common language for these notifications, information and actions across security products that any vendor can adopt in order to communicate in a standard way with all other tools under this umbrella. This provides companies with a set of tooling that can be applied once and automatically reused everywhere across all product categories, while also eliminating the need to update integrations as product versions and functionalities change.For example, if a certain tool detects a compromised device, it could automatically notify all other tools and even quarantine that device using a standard message format readable by all. While previously this was only possible with custom integrations between individual products, it will now be automatically enabled between all tools that adopt OpenDXL Ontology. Through continued development by the community, this common language will facilitate a wide variety of interoperability use cases, from sharing threat intelligence to triggering remediation between tools, such as isolating a device or updating a policy.The adoption of OpenDXL Ontology will help create a stronger, united front to defend and protect across all types of security tools, while reducing the burden of point integrations between individual products.OCA Momentum: 25+ Organizations Join Forces for Open SecuritySince launching five months ago, the OCA has expanded to include more than 25 partner organizations, with the following new members joining: Armis, Center for Internet Security, CyberNB, Cydarm, Gigamon, Raytheon, Recorded Future, sFractal Consulting, and Tripwire. The full list of members can be found here.The OCA community is currently collaborating on GitHub and Slack to further new open-source code and use-cases for cybersecurity industry interoperability. In addition to the development of OpenDXL Ontology for a common, open-source language between tools, the OCA is also continuing to build out capabilities for STIX-Shifter, a universal, out-of-the box search capability for security products of all types. Since bringing STIX Shifter to the open-source community, hundreds of visitors have accessed this technology on GitHub, with dozens of users initiating new project forks for development on top of the primary STIX Shifter code.The OCA will continue 12 PCS FLEXIBLE RATCHET SPANNER SET development for both STIX Shifter and OpenDXL Ontology, and is actively seeking additional contributors from across the security industry to help guide and drive innovative new use cases for these open source projects.

(Photo: File/Pixabay) Washington: The United States launched what China called the "largest trade war in economic history" between the world's top two economies Friday, imposing tariffs on goods worth around USD 34 billion annually.From blue jeans to motorbikes and whiskey, the EU's hit-list of products targeted the most emblematic of American exports.European UnionOn June 1, Trump made good on several months of threats and imposed tariffs of 25 percent on steel imports from the EU, along with 10 percent on aluminium imports.The complex web of commercial ties under threat has raised prospect of global trade war, sending financial markets tumbling.Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traded barbs over the steel tariffs at a farcical summit of the G7 richest countries that ended on June 9.Europe is also worried Washington will follow up on a threat to impose punitive levies on imported cars, something the powerful German car industry particularly fears.Already a second tranche of tariffs on USD 16 billion in products is under review and could soon be added to the US measures.Here is a summary of Trump's trade conflicts:ChinaAfter weeks of apparently fruitless negotiations, the US imposed tariffs on approximately USD 34 billion of Chinese products, sparking an immediate response from Beijing, which said it would hit back but did not provide details.Trump has said the European Union is "possibly almost as bad as China" when it comes to trade, as a raft of retaliatory tariffs from Brussels came into effect on June 22.Canada and MexicoCanada and Mexico, both members with the US of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), have not been spared the Washington offensive on steel and aluminium, and are threatening their own reprisals.China's retaliatory measures were expected to hit back largely at agricultural products designed to hurt Trump supporters.The US tariffs target a wide range of Chinese goods-- including aircraft parts and computer hard drives-- that Washington says have benefited from unfair trade practices.
