West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee declares Nadia first 'open defecation-free' district in India
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday April 30,2015 declared Nadia as
the first Open Defecation Free (ODF) district in the country.
“I feel proud to declare Nadia to be the first ODF district in the
country. I congratulate Nadia district for achieving this feat and
convey my thanks to World Bank and the UNICEF,” Ms. Banerjee said
“We had started this on November 19, 2013 and within two years... yes we
can... we have reached our goal. We are totally successful,” she said.
“I feel proud that the first three districts to be ODF are from West
Bengal. We have Nadia, Hooghly and Burdwan and the fourth one is
Rajasthan’s Bikaner. So it’s 3:1 ratio... We have bowled out everybody,”
the Chief Minister said.
Thanking UNICEF and the World Bank for helping the district achieve this
feat, Ms. Banerjee declared April 30 as the “Nirmal Bangla Diwas” to be
observed in the years to come.
“Today we take the oath to keep West Bengal clean and build a Nirmal
Bangla. I ask everybody to take responsibility for that,” she said. The
Chief Minister presented the Nadia district administration, a memento
and a painting prepared by her, which was received by the DM.
UNICEF India representative David Mcloughlin congratulated the people of
the district for achieving the goal and said, “It’s a commendable job
done by you people. It shows that ODF is absolutely achievable. Your
achievement will inspire others to make their places ODF.”

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Vs. Manny Pacquiao Saturday May 02,2015
Manny Pacquiao(DOB Dec 17,1978)(Philippines)is the first and only 8-Division World Champion in which he has won ten world titles, as well as the first to win the lineal championship in four different weight
classes
Manny Pacquiao was named "Fighter of the Decade" for the 2000s (decade) by the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA), World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organization (WBO)
Floyd Mayweather(DOB Feb 24,1977)is currently undefeated as a professional and is a 5-Division World Champion, having won 10 World Titles and the lineal championship in four different weight classes
Floyd Mayweather Jr. Defeats Manny Pacquiao In Welterweight Clash
The fight drew worldwide attention and, for its duration, dominated the conversation on social media.
In what was considered the highest-grossing bout in boxing history, Mayweather, the 38-year-old with the baby face and the unblemished professional boxing record, beat Pacquiao for the welterweight world championship with a unanimous decision
Both men were runaway winners financially. The purse, the majority of it from pay-per-view revenue from several million American households paying about $90 each to watch, was estimated at roughly $300 million. The contract called for Mayweather to receive 60 percent, win or lose.
Inside
the arena, show-business celebrities and famous athletes were sprinkled
throughout the crowd. The few tickets made available to the public were
priced from $1,500 for seats in the top rows to $7,500 for a seat on
the floor. Tickets were sold on the secondary market for $40,000 or
more.
The
bulk of the 16,507 fans at the MGM Grand Garden booed the decision by
the three judges, who gave Mayweather a wide margin in the 12-round
fight — 116-112 on two cards, 118-110 on the other. The judges agreed on
10 of the 12 rounds.
Mayweather stretched his record to 48-0 while quieting critics who thought he had spent years avoiding the showdown with Pacquiao
