Herald Globe: Breaking International News Site

There are a small number of news Web sites, and even a lesser number of newspapers providing world news coverage. A number of publications, particularly those associated with the cable TV networks, have a focus or a perspective from their country of origin.

Our objective is to provide an independent world news service that covers what is happening in the world from an international perspective.

Our top stories are carefully selected, edited, headlined and ranked in accordance with their overall importance from a global point of view. We also aim to bring you stories not covered elsewhere, that meet the test of global importance, and are ranked accordingly. A coal mining disaster in the US that kills four for example, would be a major news story in many world newspapers, and on the major television and cable networks, whereas a coal mining disaster in China with say 200 deaths could go unreported. For us the situation would be reversed and the China story would far outweigh the other.

We have no geographical leanings, simply an earnest desire to cover international news for the world community. Herald Globe is an online newspaper that brings you all the other features you would expect in any newspaper the world over, including dedicated coverage of Europe, Asia, the United States, the Middle East, South America and the Caribbean.

Weather forecasts, business reports, the latest in the financial markets. We cover breaking sports news, consisting of the stories making headlines on a global scale. Interactive news polls are also regularly provided.

For world news from an independent point of view, make it every day to the Herald Globe. And if you cannot make it to us, let us come to you. Register for our daily delivery of major world news headlines by email.

Players' recovery is of paramount importance: Barua

Recovery of players is one of the key factors to success in tournaments like the AFC Cup where you play every alternate day, Indian women's football team coach Anadi Barua said Thursday.

Three high-intensity matches in five days is bound to take a toll on any footballer.

"If my player is not fit, I won't get the best from her. Our physiotherapist stresses on the importance of warm-up before every training session and match. She instructs the players to do certain drills as part of recovery. We follow that strictly. There's no compromise with recovery sessions," said Barua.

India physiotherapist Dimple Maniar also stressed the importance of recuperating in time.

"For a recovery period, 24 hours is enough. But that is a luxury in the AFC Cup. We play every alternate day, which means we train the next day of the match. Hence, recovery period is minimised. It's the duty of the physiotherapist to make up for lost recovery time," said Dimple, who is on her maiden Camp with the senior team.

She continued: "Recovery is basically the preparation your body needs for the next action that is the next match. A football match of 90 minutes takes a lot out of a player. A lot of fluid is lost. ...
