Southampton will snub any bids for Sadio Mane, says Ronald Koeman

The 23-year-old joined the Saints from Red Bull Salzburg last September and netted 10 goals during his first season in England, which included him scoring the fastest ever hat-trick in Premier League history in the 6-1 thrashing of Aston Villa in May.
Mane, who has scored six times so far this campaign, is reportedly attracting interest from Chelsea and Manchester United ahead of the January transfer window.

However, Koeman is adamant Mane and other key members of his first-team squad will not be sold in the New Year.
"Rumours aren't important: we will sell nobody," the Southampton manager said.
"You can ask again about Sadio, Man United, Chelsea, but we will sell nobody in January."

Southampton's impressive Premier League stabilisation under Mauricio Pochettino only ended with a host of raids on the club's top talent.
Koeman has since fought to stem that tide, though France midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin still joined United last summer.
The Dutchman believes Southampton can still bolster their profile enough to allow developing stars to progress at the same rate as the club.

EPA and the regulation of greenhouse gasses

This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Administrator McCarthy announced several new actions the agency will take to help support a smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs. "EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...

iPad Pro Review

The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant.
