Barcelona star Neymar has praised the "great" quality of Juventus, despite beating the Italian champions 3-1 in Saturday's Champions League final. The Bianconeri pushed the Catalans close for much of the clash in Berlin, with Alvaro Morata equalising 10 minutes into the second half after Ivan Rakitic's fourth-minute opener. However, Luis Suarez and Neymar saw off any shock result in the Scudetto and Coppa Italia holders' favour with goals in the final third of the game, securing a treble for Barca.
Neymar, who netted the final goal with the last kick of the game deep into second-half stoppage-time, was jubilant with how the Liga and Copa del Rey champions added a third trophy to their collection in 2014-15.
"Juventus are a great team with great players," he told Sky Sport. "We pla...
Every bride wants to look her best on her wedding day. As much time you spend for trying out your wedding outfit and checking out matching jewellery, it is equally important to go for a test run with your makeup artist too.

Absolutely Do:
Talk to your makeup artist: When you go for a trial makeup, make sure you tell him/her what exactly you have in mind. If you have a picture of the makeup you want, show them. This will help the artist to understand the look you want for your big day. Also, when having a chat with your stylist, list down the things that you don't want. So, he/she doesn't end up giving you one of those looks.
Sit for the trial makeup: When your make...

Technological innovations and microenterprise development are among the key factors highlighted by a new country programme evaluation that will be presented on Sunday.
The country programme’s target group includes people living in extreme and moderate poverty. Its targeting strategy starts by identifying geographic areas of poverty and then assessing household assets and needs – including food supply – in those areas. For example the haor areas in Sunamganj, and char areas in newly accreted land near sea in Noakhali, are remote and hard–to–reach inaccessible locations covered ...
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ongoing visit to Bangladesh has generated a flurry of hope on both sides of the border.
Foreign minister AH Mahmud Ali feels that this visit is extremely significant where multifaceted relations between Bangladesh and India are concerned.

The Indian prime minister is leading an 81-member delegation. The delegation includes West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, India’s national security advisor Ajit Duval and foreign secretary S Jaishankar.
However, prior to Modi’s visit it was made clear that the Teesta deal would n...
India is richer, in terms of per-capita economic output, than its smaller neighbor, Bangladesh, and a greater proportion of Indians are connected to the Internet and have cellphones.
But if you look more closely at other measures of development such as life expectancy, child survival and the proportion of girls to boys in secondary education, and Bangladesh comes out ahead.
The two countries spend the same proportion (1%) of their gross domestic product on healthcare, but India devotes more of its GDP (3%) to education tha...
