By Crystal McGough, EditorTRUSSVILLE – ACTA Theatre’s production of “The Play Goes Wrong,” directed by Zach Skaggs, will hit the stage on Friday, Sept. 15, kicking off six performances spread out over two weekends. I think it is probably one of the funniest, if not the funniest, show ever written,” Skaggs said. “It’s comparable in some ways to ‘Noises Off,’ where you kind of get the feel of the backstage workings of a show. “This is probably the most complex set that ACTA has ever had for a show,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a really high-quality production,” Skaggs said.

The government on Tuesday feared oil crisis as retail outlets of some oil marketing companies (OMCs) were reportedly found dry at a few locations in the country. Sources said that the country had enough stocks of oil as big oil companies like Pakistan State Oil (PSO) and Shell were maintaining sufficient stocks. Therefore, the petroleum dealers have started hoarding oil stocks to make inventory gains. The government will pay this amount to the oil companies during the next revision of oil prices. Therefore, the oil companies regarding the exchange loss did not seem to justify their stance as they faced a loss of Rs10 per litre on diesel and gained Rs18 per litre due to recent increase in oil prices.

COLOMBO - Virat Kohli and KL Rahul’s unbeaten centuries, followed by Kuldeep Yadav’s five-fer led India to a huge 228-run vic­tory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4s clash on Monday. Pakistan had a mountain to climb to book their spot in the final of the Asia Cup 2023 as they were set to chase a mammoth 357 against India. Out-of-form opener Fakhar Zaman re­mained the top-scorer for Pakistan amid their dismal batting show with a scratchy 27 off 50 balls. Besides them, none of their bat­ters could make it to the double figures and Pakistan, consequently, could raise 128-8. He scored his 47th ODI century, second most ODI centuries and completed his 13000 ODI runs, be­coming only the fifth player to do so.

Five Blackhawks Forwards Fighting For the Final Roster Spot(s)We’re getting closer to training camp opening for the Chicago Blackhawks, and I’ve been spending some time warming up with some thoughts on the Blackhawks’ roster construction heading into the new year. A quick look at the guys we’re putting on the NHL roster for the opener in Pittsburgh shows the Blackhawks having very few spots available. Connor Bedard will be in Pittsburgh as the one true rookie in the Blackhawks’ forward group. What complicates matters more for Reese is the additions of Perry and Foligno give the Blackhawks additional physicality, and that has been his primary function on the NHL roster. Keeping Katchouk’s size on the NHL roster would hurt Reese’s chances even further.

Through various media outlets, both conventional and social, these elements have sought to tarnish the reputation of Pakistan’s armed forces. It continues to launch lethal attacks on Pakistan’s security forces and innocent citizens with impunity. Despite this provocation, Pakistan’s security forces have displayed considerable restraint due to strategic considerations, seeking to avoid an escalation of hostility with the Afghan government.

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor. “This diplomatic triumph makes it all the more a pity that the government does not bring the same attitude of conciliation and co-operation to bear in its domestic dealings. The failure to invite the Leader of the Opposition (in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge), and indeed any Opposition MP, to any of the G20 events, receptions, dinner etc underscores my point. “No other democracy would snub its own Parliamentary colleagues on a global stage like this. A pity that the spirit of accommodation that prevailed at G20 is absent within Indian politics,” Tharoor wrote on X (formerly Twitter) referring to the G20 Summit while resharing his earlier post, complimenting India’s G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant for achieving consensus on the Delhi Declararation.

It has thus far won elections through a virulent racist, su­premacist, extremist and divisive political agenda. Its domestic political strategy revolves around Hindutva which seeks to impose relentless Hindu hegemony in India. The BJP’s assertive, multi-pronged political strategy essentially aims to create a Hindu versus the rest con­test. Further state elections in Mizoram, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Telan­gana this year will put his political and electoral strategy to a severer test. As India’s state and national elections approach, the BJP’s options and political strategy will emerge clearer.
