How to Level the Playing Field Once and For All
by Yeo Chuen Chuen
Yeo Chuen Chuen is the CEO and Founder of ACESENCE, Official Member of Forbes Coaches Council, and a multi-award-winning agile leadership coach
Shiseido Asia-Pacific and ExxonMobil Asia-Pacific recently appointed its first female president and CEO, and chairman and managing director, respectively. In April, OCBC Bank welcomed its first female group CEO — the first woman to head a Singaporean bank. With these recent strides towards women snagging top positions, 2021 is certainly shaping up to be an empowering year for females.

Ironically, despite this and years of breaking one glass ceiling after another, female leaders, particularly those in the Asia Pacific region, are still very much the minority at the leadership level. With a 28% proportional ratio of female to male senior leaders in Asia Pacific, women in leadership often risk being overlooked when it comes to bigger and better opportunities in the workplace. Many continue to experience gender inequality, often stemming from unconscious bias on women leadership capabilities and gender roles, as well as a lack of sponsorship for women at the senior levels, leading to a 'broken rung'.The Minister for Social and Family Development, Masagos Zulkifli, might have declared 2021 to be the Year for Celebrating SG Women, but are we really there yet?
COMMON BARRIERS IN A 21ST CENTURY WORKPLACE
WHY THESE BARRIERS STILL EXIST
LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD ONCE AND FOR ALL
Even in this day and age, unconscious bias and a lack of sponsorship for women at senior levels are still causing many female talents in leadership positions to question their full potential in the workplace. This commonly leads to doubts when asking for higher salaries or promotions, talking about their achievements openly, and even negotiating for work practices and policies that allow them to balance between raising a family and leading a team.
Beyond external pressures and systemic issues, many women leaders face the larger battles internally – self-limiting beliefs that prevents them to leverage opportunities to show up as thought leaders. For instance, I discovered that I was more successful in getting male business leaders to share their views on agile leadership as guest speakers on my vlogcast/podcast compared to females. When asked what their concerns were regarding their aversion to sharing their views and experiences, these female leaders cited reasons like uncertainties about company/employee perception and the effects it might have on their colleagues' opinions of them. Currently, the ratio of men to women leaders willing to share their leadership perspective on my vlogcast stands at 16:3. That is less than a 20% representation of female leaders.
Perceptions of gender roles are often the result of what we were taught during our formative years. To this day, school-going children are exposed to learning material that stereotypes gender roles. This is an age-old issue, but one that still persists in society today, despite how much we have progressed in the last few years. In turn, this leads to female leaders, self-limiting due to their subconscious observation of gender-biased expectations. This is further exacerbated when they are chastised by others as "not conforming to preconceived gender roles."
If these barriers are not addressed, then female leaders will continue to struggle internally with emotions like guilt when they do not conform to the norm, and externally with systems that disadvantage them. I believe that we still have a long way to go to achieve gender parity and for businesses and organizations, breaking the vicious cycle must be top on the agenda because diversity makes companies profitable, innovative, and respected. We need to actively change mindsets and create a supportive ecosystem for women, among others.
I encourage female leaders who are impeded by the glass ceiling to look deep within themselves to address the fundamentals of their true aspirations and to examine their values, strengths, and motivations. By examining each aspect, leaders will gain a sense of clarity as to what is meaningful and purposeful to them. From there, leaders can identify factors that are holding them back – be it external pressures, preconceived notions of gender roles, or potential internal conflict pertaining to stereotypical leadership. After that, leaders need only direct their innate talents and unique skills towards unlimited growth opportunities and potential, while continuously challenging, questioning and overcoming each limiting factor.
I also urge all female leaders to practise being more aware of their personal reactions and responses when faced with workplace challenges — this would help them identify bias, prejudices, and over-generalizations that no longer serve them. Only with deep personal mastery and recognition of their own bias – turning them from unconscious to conscious – can leaders reshape their thinking and restructure their mindsets to address challenges with fresh perspectives. This is the most important part of my Re4 Coaching model – to refresh the lens by reshaping the way people think (about themselves, the context and of others) in order to achieve something that is seemingly impossible because more often than not, internal limitations are much more difficult to overcome than external ones.
Lastly, external support is paramount to ensure successful leadership. This is especially for women trailblazers because they are beating a path that has never been travelled. My advice is for senior women leaders to be active advocates and sponsors for upcoming and younger female leaders. Within a professional setting, young women must seek out sponsors and mentorship opportunities actively. With strong role models, the younger generation, both male and female, can conceive a new norm together that is more equal and fairer for all genders.

Breaking Up with the Boss' Son/Script
< Breaking Up with the Boss' Son
Jonesy: [in a football helmet] "Alright boys. There's seconds on the clock. Davis just pulled a hammy and Cooper just peed his pants. Let's put the women and children to bed, and go looking for supper. TWENTY-FOUR! SIXTEEN! HUT HUT–" [He snaps a football into a stack of tennis ball cans.] "WHOA HO HO HO!"
Jen: "Jonesy!"
Jonesy: "Hey."
Jen: [trying to push him out of the store] "What are you doing? Get out get out get out!"
Jonesy: "Hey! Watch who you're barking at! I'm a paying customer. I happen to be shopping for a football."
Jen: "Oh, really? Okay c'mon, I'll ring you up." [She leads him to the counter.] "Sorry. We've got these sales quotas here, and I'm kind of behind. Plus, the only cute guy who worked here quit yesterday. Now it's just me and the Crusher."
The Crusher: [crushing a can against his head] "Nyeaah! Na! Na! Woo!" [He attacks a mannequin.]
Jen: "He's an enforcer." [ringing Jonesy up] "That'll be $32.60."
Jonesy: "What? Do I look like I'm made of money?"
Cute Guy: "Excuse me?"
Jen: [giggling] "You're excused." [hopping the counter] "Can I kiss you? Aah! Help you?"
Jonesy: "Hey! You were helping me!"
Jen: [shoving Jonesy away] "If you screw this up for me, I will so make you pay." [shaking the cute guy's hand] "So, I get off work at five."
Cute Guy: "Yeah, me too. I'm Cory, the new sales associate here."
Jen: [gasping] "Oh that's great! I'll show you around."
Coach Halder: "Masterson! You've let down your defense. Jockstraps need reorganizing, aisle nine! Pronto! And don't forget to restock the extra-large ones this time!"
Jen: "Right away, Coach. Excuse me." [muttering to herself] "I hate my boss."
Jonesy: [offscreen] "Yo, long bomb!" [It hits Cory in the stomach hard.]
Cory: "Oof!"
Jonesy: "Touchdown!"
The opening credits roll.
The title of this episode is
Breaking Up with the Boss' Son
[Jen carries some shoeboxes to the checkout counter and sets them down.]
Jen: [to Cory] "The first thing you should know is the boss is a bonehead. We're talking first-class moron."
Coach Halder: [coming over, having missed Jen's statement] "Ah! There you are, Masterson. I see you've found our newest employee."
Jen: "Definitely."
Coach Halder: "Cory here's following in my footsteps, and I couldn't be prouder! Isn't that right, son?" [Jen gasps.]
Cory: "You got it, Dad." [Coach Halder walks on.]
Jen: "The coach is your father?"
[Cory nods. Jonesy walks past with some skates.]
Jonesy: [fake coughing] "Way to go."
Jen: "Oh. When I said bonehead, I meant it in a really good way?"
[The gang are gathered around the table.]
Jen: [venting] "How can the most perfect guy in the universe be Coach Halder's son?"
Jonesy: "He's not that great. I could take him."
Jen: "Can you imagine kissing somebody related to the coach? If I went over to his house to watch a movie, I'd be at the coach's house!"
Wyatt: "You've got a lot to say for someone whose dad wears white track pants."
Jen: "My dad only wore those out of the house once! You guys just all happened to...be there..."
Jude: "I dug that outfit, man."
Jen: "Well what do you think, Nikki?"
Nikki: "Personally, I've had it with slobbery high-school guys, but that's obviously just me." [She looks at Jason and Joanie.]
Jen: "He is really cute..." [coming to a decision] "What the heck! What's the worst that can happen?" [Jason and Joanie fall over.] "Thanks guys!"
[Jude tests the microphone at Stick It and then leans over to speak into it.]
Jude: "Listen up, dudes, we're having a new contest. Choose the next food on a stick and win a prize!"
Stanley: "I bet the prize sucks."
Jude: "Nuh-uh. You could win, uh, a lifetime supply, of...free Stick-Its."
Stanley: "You're not allowed to give prizes like that."
Jude: "I'm the manager, I can do whatever I want."
Stanley: "Okay. How about–hot dogs on a stick?"
Jude: "Whoa. That's good." [pulling out a box] "Put your entry in the box, and I think you have a chance, little man."
[Stanley shoves his hot dog into the slot and runs off, laughing.]
[Jonesy and Wyatt are in Stereo Shack.]
Jonesy: "Hurry up, I can't be seen in this dweeb hangout!"
Wyatt: "I just need an adapter so my MP3 player can read e-books."
Jonesy: "Do you have any idea how uncool that sounded? There aren't even any hot chicks here."
[A nerdy girl gasps. She then unties her ponytail and stands up straight, instantly becoming hot.]
Hot Nerd Girl: "Jerk."
Jonesy: [gasping] "Man! The one time!"
Darth: [upset] "Thanks! She was about to buy a new positronic calculator! I've got my eye on you."
[Darth swishes his cape and backs away, watching them.]
Jonesy: "That guy gives me the creeps."
Wyatt: "Aw, Darth's okay." [He finds his adapter.] "Found it!"
Jonesy: "Darth's okay? You say that like you know him."
Wyatt: "I was in audio-visual club with him a couple years ago."
Jonesy: "Can you even spell cool anymore?"
[Jonesy looks over and smiles. Darth is being bullied by Blade and Christo.]
Christo: [laughing] "Look, man, he's wearing a cape!"
Darth: "Laugh all you want. I control who gets discount cards."
Blade: [slapping the cards out of Darth's hand] "Ha!" [catching them] "Not anymore you don't! Geek!"
Jonesy: [to Wyatt] "Now that's funny."
[Jonesy spots some lightsabers. He picks one up, powers it on, and begins to breathe heavily.]
Jonesy: [imitating Darth Vader] "Wyatt. I am your father."
Wyatt: "Jonesy. Look, don't touch, remember?"
Jonesy: "Dude, would you relax? It's just a stupid toy?" [He puts the stupid toy through a speaker.]
Darth: [grabbing the lightsaber] "Okay. Option one: you pay a hundred bucks for the speaker. Option two: I call mall security."
[Jonesy empties his pockets. All that comes out are a coin and a button.]
Darth: "Gee, a nickel and a button?"
Jonesy: "Yeah, but that's a rare antique button."
Darth: "Yep, mall security it is."
Wyatt: [stopping him] "Darth, buddy. I think I have a better idea."
[Jonesy is dressed in the official Stereo Shack uniform.]
Jonesy: "Who's the doofus that picked these shirts for the store uniform?"
Darth: "Uh, that would be me? But feel free to add a personal touch. Maybe a cape!"
Jonesy: "As they say in Russia, 'Fat chance, Igor!'" [to Wyatt] "I can't believe you got me working here."
Wyatt: "It's just until you pay off the equipment. Have fun with it!" [He leaves.]
Darth: "Shall we start you off with a lightsaber? All of my employees are trained Jedis."
[Jonesy takes it and pops it out. It extends barely two feet.]
Jonesy: "Well I don't want this one! It's small!"
Darth: [suddenly angry] "SILENCE APPRENTICE!!! You don't remember me?"
Jonesy: "Nope. Can't say I do."
Darth: "Atomic wedgies ring a bell?"
Jonesy: "Hmm..."
Darth: "How about pantsing me in front of the whole sixth grade?"
Jonesy: [chuckling] "That was you? Man! That wedgie must have hurt! We pulled it over your shoulders!"
Darth: "Yes, but now you're mine. Yes, MINE! YES MINE HA HOOOO CHA CH–" [He begins to cough uncontrollably and has to take a few drags from his asthma inhaler.]
[Cory is behind the counter at the Penalty Box. Jen comes up to him.]
Jen: "Cory! Uh, hi. I wanted to ask you something."
Cory: "Shoot."
Jen: "Uh, this is hard. Okay, I was wondering if, like, maybe, since you like to eat and I like to eat, if you wanted to we could kinda like–"
Cory: "Are you asking me out?" [Jen nods.] "Cool. How's tonight?"
Jen: "Really? I mean great. Great. Cool." [Cory's phone beeps.]
Cory: "Look at that! Coffee break already." [hustling off] "See you after work."
Jen: [after he leaves] "That was so easy!"
[Ron walks by the Stereo Shack.]
Ron: "Yo."
[Inside, Jonesy is bored.]
Jonesy: "This blows! We haven't seen a customer in two hours!"
Darth: "Of course not. Everyone's at the astronomy convention today?"
Jonesy: "Yeah. Everyone who's a loser."
Darth: [putting on his helmet and powering up his lightsaber] "A Jedi Master must take advantage of slow economic activity to hone his fighting skills." [He practices with the sword.]
Jonesy: "You've never kissed a chick, have you?"
Darth: "Do not mock what you can't understand, young Padawan." [He uses the sword to knock Jonesy's drink out of his hand.] "Mastering the lightsaber is more difficult than it appears."
Jonesy: "I'm the top scorer on the varsity hockey team. I think I can handle a toy sword." [He pops it out and is swiftly attacked by Darth.] "Huh?"
Darth: "Prove it."
[Jonesy and Darth start to battle. Darth plays a mainly defensive role, simply blocking all of Jonesy's attempts. Annoyed, Jonesy decides to play unfairly, and karate-chops Darth's helmet so it swings around, blinding him.]
Jonesy: "Ah-ha-ha! I rule!"
[Darth spins his helmet so he can see and rushes Jonesy. He smacks Jonesy's lightsaber away with one swoop and then gives the jock a wedgie. Jonesy falls down, defeated.]
Darth: "Ah, you begin to understand the error of your ways."
Jonesy: "I can't believe I got my butt whipped by a nerd! Good thing no one cool was here to see it."
Darth: "Oh, so you wouldn't want the security tape released then?"
Jonesy: "Security tape?" [He spots the camera.] "Ugh!"
Darth: [replaying it on a widescreen TV] "Don't worry. I'll keep the video safe as long as you do what I say."
Jonesy: "So what you're saying is I'm screwed."
Darth: [cheerful] "Like a lightbulb!"
[Jen and Cory are at El Sporto's.]
Cory: "...and so, that's how I got the MVP award in the 9th grade."
Jen: "Wow. You've really been–"
Cory: [watching the game] "Offside?!? Aw come on! Give the ref some glasses! Man."
Jen: "Uh...right. So, as I was saying, I won–"
Cory: "Sorry babe, just two minutes left in overtime. Shoot it! Shoot the puck!"
[Jen sighs.]
[The date has moved to the arcade. Cory is playing while Jen stands by idly.]
Jen: "Are you almost finished?"
Cory: "Hold on, babe. I'm in the middle of the 4th here? You're having fun, right?"
Jen: "Yeah, sure."
Cory: "So uh, let's do a movie tomorrow. I was thinking Manly Fighters 2."
Jen: "Never heard of it."
Cory: "Lots of fighting and heads exploding? You'll love it! Now take over for me so I can get something to drink."
Jen: "Oh, um, I'm not very good at this game."
Cory: "C'mon, Masterson, where's your team spirit? And remember, it's not how you play the game, it's whether you win. Now push those buttons! Move, move, move!" [He leaves to get something to drink. Jen's phone rings.]
Jen: [picking up] "Hello?"
Caitlin: "It's me! How's your date going?"
Jen: "That's easy. It's the worst date I've been on in my life."
Jen: [venting] "We have nothing in common, he doesn't listen to me, and he's bossier than Coach Halder. And he's already asked me out again! I didn't know how to say no!"
Caitlin: "Wow. I'm so glad I'm not you right now."
Jen: "So I guess I just tell Cory we're not going out again."
Wyatt: "Whoa whoa whoa, you can't just dump him."
Jen: "Why not?"
Wyatt: "Guys have fragile egos, and this guy's your boss's son."
Nikki: "Wyatt's right. If he's a jerk, he could probably get his dad to fire you."
Jen: "Oh no. You're right! I'm stuck with a jerk for all eternity!"
Jude: "Hey, eternity is just a state of mind."
Caitlin: "Well if Jen can't break up with Cory, why can't she get Cory to break up with her instead?"
Wyatt: "Hello, because he likes her?"
Caitlin: "Sure, he does now. But not when she becomes a psycho girlfriend and makes his life miserable."
Nikki: "That's so diabolical it just might work."
Jen: "Thanks, Caitlin!"
Nikki: "It's amazing. You look so sweet, and yet it's like there's this inner cow that's just dying to get out. I like it."
Caitlin: "Thanks! You're a total cow too!"
[Nikki looks at her oddly, unsure as to whether she's been insulted or complimented.]
[The gang, with the exception of Jonesy, is walking Jen to the Penalty Box.]
Caitlin: "Now remember, the goal is to turn him off so much that he can't wait to dump you."
Jen: "How do I do that?"
Caitlin: "Mmm...I don't know."
Nikki: "Beats me."
Jen: "Come on, guys! I need you here!"
Wyatt: "Ahem. Why don't you find out what guys really hate from the experts?"
Nikki: "We don't know any."
Wyatt: "I'm talking about us!"
Jude: "Yeah, allow us to teach you Bettys a little something about the mind of the dude."
Jen: "What the heck. They're guys."
Caitlin: "We're listening."
Wyatt: "Start by getting matching outfits. That'll turn him off big time."
Jude: "Ah, nice opener, dude. And phone the guy, like, every fifteen minutes."
Wyatt: "Tell him that you're dreaming about your wedding day, and what your kids will look like."
Jen: "Right. This is good stuff!"
Jude: "And use stupid pet names, like 'rasta-honey-party-munchkin.'" [The girls look at him.]
Wyatt: "Uh, try 'sweetie poo-poo-kins' in a baby voice. We hate that."
Caitlin: "Really? Wow. I thought guys thought that was cute."
Wyatt: "Uh...no."
Jude: "Negatory."
Jen: "Where's Jonesy? I'm betting he has things he hates too."
Wyatt: "Well, I'm not supposed to tell you..." [he waits a beat] "...but I will. It's too good."
[Jonesy is at the Stereo Shack, working hard on polishing a widescreen TV.]
Jonesy: "Very...tired...need...rest–" [He collapses. Darth approaches.]
Darth: [petting him] "Not bad, young Padawan, not bad at all."
Jonesy: "You know, I gotta hand it to you, Darth."
Darth: "Oh yeah? Why's that?"
Jonesy: "You got me cornered. Making that videotape, that was pretty smart."
Darth: "My IQ is 170."
Jonesy: "I don't even have an IQ. But I was just thinking, maybe we can make a trade. There must be something I can give you for that tape."
Darth: [thinking] "You're popular, right?"
Jonesy: "As a chocolate bar at fat camp."
Darth: "And you know a lot of...girls?"
Jonesy: "A chick?!?" [excited] "Now that's my specialty! Tell me who she is, and I know I can get you a date."
Darth: "Nikki."
Jonesy: [halting] "That might be harder than I thought."
Nikki: [outside the store] "No. Way." [Jonesy spots her.] "Jonesy?"
Jude: "Nice lightsaber, dude."
Nikki: [laughing] "Oh no. See, this makes up for a morning of inventory with the Clones. The gods are just."
Caitlin: "Oh it's my hero, Joan Solo!"
Darth: [whispering to Jonesy] "That's her."
Jonesy: "Yeah, I know."
[The gang is outside the Penalty Box, giving Jen a pep talk before she heads in.]
Wyatt: "You can do it, Jen. Just focus."
Jen: "Focus."
Jude: "You've got a black belt in bad girlfriend kung-fu."
Jen: "Kung-fu."
Wyatt: "Now go smother him."
[Jen rushes off.]
Jen: [offscreen] "Cory, honey, look! I got us matching sweaters!"
Wyatt: "I think she's going to be fine."
[The five start to leave, but Jonesy stops Nikki as she starts to follow.]
Jonesy: "So Nikki, got any plans tonight?"
Nikki: "Not really. Why?"
Jonesy: "Because I have got the best guy for you."
Nikki: [moving on] "No."
Jonesy: [coming with her] "He's really smart! He has a very, uh–interesting personality!"
Nikki: "I don't do blind dates. Nice pocket protector, by the way."
Jonesy: "Okay, look. This guy is absolutely crazy about you, and he begged me to set you up!"
Nikki: "Let me think about it. No."
Jonesy: "I thought you were spontaneous!"
Nikki: "Why is this so important to you?"
Jonesy: [smiling] "I'm just trying to help two good friends! What have you got to lose?"
Nikki: [sighing] "Ugh. Fine."
Jonesy: "Yes! You are a great friend!" [running off] "Six o'clock, food court, see you there!"
Nikki: "I know I'm gonna regret this."
[Jen and Cory take their seats at the theater.]
Jen: "Aww! We look so cute together in our outfits! I'll bet everybody noticed!"
Cory: "Y-yeah. I guess so." [He's about to take a bite of popcorn, but Jen grabs the tub away.]
Jen: "Hold on, there's butter on this. Didn't you get the message I left about healthy eating?"
Cory: "I haven't had the chance to hear all of them yet."
Jen: "Well, buttered popcorn is full of saturated fat. Oh look! There's Wyatt! Hi Wyatt! Look! I'm here with my new boyfriend! We're gonna be together forever, and ever, and ever!"
Wyatt: "Congratulations."
Jen: [cuddling Cory] "Aww! Sweetie-poo-poo-kins! Is everything okay?"
Cory: "Sweetie...poo-poo-kins?"
Jen: "We should have a talk. I want us to share our feelings."
Cory: "But the movie's gonna start."
Jen: "But I need to talk! Wait. You want to break up, don't you?" [faking tears] "It's that girl in the volleyball section, isn't it? I saw you looking at her!"
Cory: [gently] "Are you kidding? You're like a dream come true!"
Jen: [irritated] "Excuse me?"
Cory: "I love how you look out for me. Making sure I eat right? And phoning me? Over, and over? And over? Aww, fuzzy-wuzzy-bunny-kins."
Jen: [coughing] "Sorry. Uh, popcorn. Stuck in my throat. Be right back."
[Jen leaves her seat. Meanwhile, Caitlin is riding on the escalator when her phone rings.]
Caitlin: "Hello?"
Jen: "Caitlin, this isn't working! Cory likes everything I'm doing! Even the really gross stuff!"
Caitlin: "Well that doesn't sound right. Maybe he's a girl-boy."
Jen: "A what?"
Caitlin: "A girl-boy. A boy who sometimes acts like a girl? This is serious. He could get attached. Abort, Jen, abort immediately!"
Jen: "Too late! I thought you said this would work!"
Caitlin: "Maybe you just don't have the touch."
Jen: "Oh, I have the touch. I've turned off tons of guys before." [She hangs up.] "Alright, Cory. I am now your new worst nightmare."
[Nikki comes by the Stick It. Jude speaks into the microphone.]
Jude: "Hi! What'cha doin?"
Nikki: "Hey! Hi. I'm just meeting a–friend."
Jude: "Want to enter my contest first? Choose the next food on a stick, AND WIN! Check it out. We've got crackers and cheese on a stick, gum on a stick–you're good at inventing stuff."
Nikki: "Yeah well, if I've nothing better to do after the world ends, I'll come back."
Jude: "Cool."
[Nikki enters Grind Me. She smoothes her hair and takes a deep breath. A voice calls to her.]
Jonesy: "Nikki! Ready for your date?"
Nikki: "I guess so. Where is he?"
Darth: [getting up] "The pleasure is all mine."
Nikki: "GUH! Uh, what's he doing here?"
Jonesy: "He's your date. The force is strong with this one."
Nikki: "No. Really. What's he doing here?" [Jonesy grins nervously.] "Wait. You're setting me up with Darth? Are you crazy?"
Jonesy: [chuckling nervously and backing away] "You two uh, want milkshakes to start things off? My treat."
Darth: "So, who's your favorite band?"
Nikki: "Save it, Yoda. This is not gonna happen."
Darth: [sighing] "I know. I mean, Jonesy only agreed to set me up with with you because of the videotape."
Nikki: [interested] "Videotape? What...videotape?"
[Cory is in the midst of Frilly and Pink. Jen pops up beside him.]
Jen: "Oh! Cory! Isn't Frilly and Pink your favorite store in the whole wide world?"
Cory: "I didn't even know it existed."
Jen: [holding up an item] "I mean, look at this pink! Round, thing. And this frilly stick! Finally, someone to help me shop for teddy bears! EEEE! I have a collection! Isn't he the cutie-wootiest?" [Jen gasps.] "Potpourri! My favorite!" [She runs over and sniffs it. Jen starts to gag, but holds it back.] "So, having fun yet?"
Cory: "I never knew how soft a pashmina was before." [stroking it] "These would be so nice to have at those cold, early-morning football practices."
Jen: "Un. Be. Lievable."
[Cory and Jen pass the Stick It, Jen loaded down with packages.]
Cory: "Did anybody ever tell you that you're a slow walker? Pick up the pace, Masterson!"
Jen: "Oh, that is it." [She drops the boxes.]
Cory: "Hey–hey, what's the matter? Don't you like what I bought you?"
Jen: [through gritted teeth] "Yes. I've always wanted pink everything."
Cory: "Aw, you're welcome." [Jen sighs.] "Anything for my fuzzy-wu–"
Jen: [kicking the boxes away] "No. Stop right there. Cory, it's over."
[Darth is working to hook up the TV while Nikki stands by idly.]
Nikki: "C'mon, I thought you said you could do this."
Darth: "You're kind of distracting me with your beauty."
Nikki: "We're getting revenge on Jonesy, remember? Just concentrate on that."
Darth: "I'm having second thoughts. Jonesy and I had a deal, and a Jedi Master is nothing without honor!"
Nikki: "Did Jonesy live up to his side of the bargain? He set you up with a girl who thinks you're a freak!"
Darth: [after it sinks in] "Cool. I'm over it. Thanks."
Nikki: [picking up a wire] "So, what does this wire do?"
Darth: "Not that one!"
[An electric shock hits them and flies through the mall, causing a power surge and a short blackout. It causes the microphone at the Stick It to come on right next to Jen and Cory.]
Jen: "You and me are through!"
Cory: [into the mike] "You're...breaking up with me?"
Jen: "Oh yes."
Cory: "But why?"
[Their conversation is being broadcast throughout the mall. Neither of them notices.]
Jen: "Why? Because I've had more stimulating conversations with a tree! You're completely self-involved, you like dumb movies, and you're a pushy little girl-boy! You suck, Cory Halder!"
Nikki: "Okay. Maybe I chose the wrong wire."
[The microphone squeals and burns out, and only then do the two notice it's on. Jen blushes.]
Jen: [chuckling nervously] "Was that my outside voice?"
Cory: "Man, what a relief!"
Jen: "Huh?"
Cory: "I wanted to break up with you too."
Jen: [amazed] "Shut up!"
Cory: "Yeah, but my dad said you could like, sue the store for harassment, and told me to suck it up and take one for the team."
Jen: "So you didn't really like all that girly stuff?"
Cory: "Heck no!"
Jen: "That's great! Hey, wait. Isn't taking one for the team a bad thing?"
Cory: "Uh, usually! Seeya!"
[In Stereo Shack, Darth is fixing up the broadcast.]
Darth: "Now that was the right wire."
[The video begins to play. It is now showing on the mall's jumboscreen.]
Blade: [watching, amazed] "No way."
Nerdy Guy: "Go Darth!"
[Jonesy is sitting at a table with the hot nerdy girl from before.]
Jonesy: "So uh, then I scored the winning goal in overtime–" [His date notices the video.] "–it was awesome." [His date starts laughing.] "I can see you're impressed." [She gets up and walks away.] "Here's my number. What happened? What'd I do?" [He spots the video playing on the jumboscreen.] "NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
Wyatt: "Nasty." [The rest of the gang has arrived with Darth.]
Jude: "Dude, you got rocked by that geek."
[Darth laughs at Jonesy and moves on, stopping to wiggle his eyebrows at Jen.]
Jen: "Uh, I'm not dating for a while, thanks."
[Jen takes a seat at the usual table.]
Jen: "Hoo! That was a hard day at the store."
Caitlin: "Kinda hard working with Cory now I guess, huh?"
Jen: "No, he transferred to another location. Funny, he wouldn't tell me which one."
Wyatt: "I just have to ask–how did you convince Darth to give you that videotape?"
Jonesy: [slamming his head on the table] "Do we have to bring up the tape again?"
Nikki: "Enh, wasn't so hard. I just paid him the rest of the money Jonesy owed."
Caitlin: "That was nice of you. I thought Jonesy was gonna work it off at the Stereo Shack."
Nikki: "Oh he was, but he got fired. I guess he didn't have what it took to be a real Jedi Knight. Besides, paying Darth was such a small price for a memory that lasts a lifetime." [She holds up the tape.]
Jonesy: "That's it. Laugh it up. Just don't forget who has that picture of you tap-dancing in first grade." [Nikki gasps.]
Nikki: "You do not."
Jonesy: "Do too." [pulling out a photo] "Oh, in fact–"
Nikki: "Jonesy? Don't do it. I'm warning you."
[Jonesy flips the photo to his friends. They look at it and start laughing. It shows a young Nikki in a tutu and ballerina shoes with huge glasses and a giant pink bow on her head.]
Wyatt: "Nice!"
[Nikki slugs Jonesy so hard he falls out of his chair. Jonesy is swift to get up and grab the photo. Nikki chases him.]
Nikki: "Gimme that!"

The British Ambassador and the Funeral of Pope Pius IX
(p.365) 18 The British Ambassador and the Funeral of Pope Pius IX
Owen Chadwick
Pope Pius IX died in February 1878. He had resisted the Italian Risorgimento to the last breath of a pontificate which had gone on for longer than that of any other pope. At his death he was as unpopular in Italy as any pope since the Middle Ages had been. Yet he was revered by many Catholics throughout Europe and America, as no pope before him — partly because he was the first pope to command the modern media, and partly because he was regarded by many Catholics almost as a martyr. Forced to flee from Rome in 1848 and restored by French force of arms, he had lost most of the historic papal states, and all their prosperous towns, through invasion by the Piedmontese army in 1859–60.

Fund manager expands
Baillie Gifford takes office space at Mint Building
Terry Murden, Editor | June 25, 2018
Chris Stewart Group has signed its second biggest deal in a week on a new office development under way in the centre of Edinburgh.
The developer has pre-let 60,000 sq ft at 20 West Register Street, also known as The Mint Building, to fund manager Baillie Gifford. The seven-storey building, still under construction, was last week acquired by Hines, the international real estate firm.
Designed by Hoskins Architects, it is part of the £85 million regeneration project at 'The Registers' in St Andrew Square.
Baillie Gifford, headquartered in nearby Leith Street, is taking space capable of accommodating 700 staff once completed in early 2019.
Property investor, developer and operator, CSG is currently delivering a £300 million investment programme across Scotland. 'The Registers' development also includes The Edinburgh Grand, a neo-classical property that has been restored to create 50 luxury apartments in a hotel setting, as well as plans for significant investment in the public realm around West Register Street.
Mr Stewart, CEO, said: "The agreement with Baillie Gifford is very positive news for Edinburgh and for the continued transformation of St Andrew Square and the east end of the city centre.
"20 West Register Street will be a stunning focal point on the south east corner of St Andrew Square and alongside The Edinburgh Grand will draw people through to the new Edinburgh St James.
"The elegance of the Hoskins design cleverly reflects the surrounding historic buildings, bringing these into view as you walk through The Registers. It is tremendous to see the development take shape."
Alan Paterson, partner at Baillie Gifford, added: "This high-quality office is well located in Edinburgh city centre's flourishing east end, in close proximity to our headquarters at Calton Square. It offers us flexible space as we plan for the long-term expansion of our client base, and will be an attractive working location for our staff."

Jordanian women break stereotypes
Keywords:FIFAGreat Middle EastJordanMiddle EastMuslim womenMuslims
Posted By: Ramil 14.07.2016
Line's dream is about to become a reality, the 14-year-old Jordanian girl will make history later this year when she takes part in her first ever football world cup.
FIFA's U-17 Women's World Cup will kick off on September 30 in Jordan, the first time a Middle Eastern country hosts an international women's football competition.
Line and 20 other girl footballers, including devout Muslims their heads covered by a scarf, have been practising hard for the tournament with a British coach.
"Here in Jordan… it was frowned upon to see a girl play football. But now things have changed," Line said.
She still remembers how she defied social conventions in the conservative kingdom when at a younger age she decided to join the boys of her neighbourhood in a game of football.
Jordan — a key ally of the West — is a Muslim country with a Christian minority but both communities are weighed down by religious and social constraints like other nations in the Middle East.
For decades football was hands off for women but that changed in 2005 when the Jordanian federation — headed by Prince Ali, a half-brother of King Abdullah II — formed the first national female team.
Ali, a vice president of FIFA who ran but failed to be elected president of football's world governing body, is credited with having helped Jordan's bid to host the under-17 girls' tournament.
In May, FIFA said on its website that the first Jordanian women players who took to the pitch more than a decade ago "have impressed" and "did not disappoint".
British coach Robbie Johnson is confident that the under-17 girls team will shine at the upcoming world cup.
BREAK STEREOTYPES
"This particular group are certainly keen to make a mark and certainly put the Middle East on the map," Johnson told AFP as he worked the girls on one practice night.
"It can be definitely the start of something to say to women, particularly in the Middle East or in the Gulf states as well: Look you can actually play and compete," he said.
The girls' training for the big day is tough.
Line — a striker — and teammates listen carefully as the coach details his strategy with specific instructions to the wingers and goalkeepers, while parents sit back and watch the practice unfold.
"My goal is to get these players as competitive as possible and then who knows what may happen," said Johnson.
Organisers of the tournament say it will reverberate beyond the pitch and contribute to change in Jordan and the wider Arab world.
"We are using football like a platform for social change," said Samar Nassar, a former member of Jordan's national swimming team who heads the kingdom's organising committee.
The upcoming tournament "is an opportunity to create a durable heritage for Jordan and the region," that would help challenge stereotypes and empower women, she said.
Line agrees. Football "has taught me many things. I feel more responsible and I have become more sociable."
'UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE'
Jordanian female athlete Yasmeen Khair, is one such woman whose name is linked to change.
A gymnast who won several awards over the years and the nickname "the kingdom's butterfly", Khair was among the first women football players to play for Jordan.
FIFA chose her as "ambassador" of the under-17 world cup. Her mission is two-fold, to promote the tournament and raise awareness of girls' football.
"I speak to girls a lot. I tell them they must live this rich and unforgettable experience," she said.
Khair said the beginnings of women's football in 2005 was tough.
"We had to face a lot of difficulties but bit by bit things began to change," she said, recalling how interest in female football grew in Jordan "especially that we won more tournaments than the men".
On its webpage, FIFA quoted Khader Eid, a former coach of the women's national team, recalling some of the hurdles that had to be overcome.
"We were conscious of the difficulties we would encounter to coach these young girls while respecting traditions and getting through to their families," he said.
Jordan now counts 720 registered women players, a small number in a country with a population of 6.6 million but still a "decisive step" for women's football, according to FIFA.

Westminster Member Chad Quaintance Lives His Faith
October 12, 2019 /in News /by Brigitte Parenteau
After a lifetime of service that has taken him from the civil rights cauldron of 1960s Selma to the Minneapolis school desegregation battles of the 1970s and '80s, former lawyer Chad Quaintance has settled into a role that even he did not imagine. But this new chapter is part of a natural progression that suits his heart, his temperament and his faith.
Twice a week, 80-year-old Quaintance walks from his home in Minneapolis' Lowry Hill neighborhood to work as a volunteer chaplain at Hennepin County Medical Center. There, he comforts patients and their families who are dealing with life-or-death crucibles.

Westminster Launches Performing Arts Series in New Westminster Hall
September 6, 2019 /in News /by Brigitte Parenteau
Westminster launched a new Performing Arts Series featuring a unique array of music and dance, from Cuban jazz to South African gospel, Latin American early music to a holiday classic, contemporary choral to bluegrass.
"The Performing Arts Series extends Westminster's telling presence in the city," says Rev. Tim Hart-Andersen. "By celebrating artists and connecting them more closely with the community, the Series invites people to experience the beauty of the arts."
All performances take place in Westminster Hall, named "Best New Music Venue" by the Star Tribune last year. "We are eager to explore how the flexible Westminster Hall can be configured to break the barrier between artist and audience," says Amanda Weber, Minister of Music and the Arts, who is spearheading the series.

Westminster Joins Community Solar Garden
August 20, 2019 /in News /by Brigitte Parenteau
Westminster recently entered into a 25-year contract that requires Xcel to acquire electricity in an amount similar to what Westminster uses each year from a community solar garden run by ReneSola Power. A community solar garden contains solar panels that convert the sun's rays into electrical energy. The advantage of a solar garden is that it allows the cost of solar panels to be distributed among the community of subscribers so they can be built less expensively than by individual subscribers on their own. Another advantage is the size of a solar garden.
Westminster's city block is not large enough to provide all of Westminster's electrical needs. In addition, portions of the block are shaded by neighboring buildings. Westminster consumes 1 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year. It takes an area of more than nine city blocks of solar panels to generate Westminster's electrical needs. ReneSola Power's solar garden is 20 acres in size and is located near St. Cloud. The area had been farmland, growing a monoculture of corn. The farmer still owns the land, but leases it to ReneSola Power, which planted the land around the solar panels with native habitat for pollinators.
By subscribing to a community solar garden, Westminster is supporting solar development in Minnesota. Westminster will pay a flat rate for its electricity over the next 25 years and will save an estimated $1 million over that time as fossil fuel based utility rates continue to rise.
Subscribing to a solar garden can be more difficult for individuals because the average homeowner moves every seven years. The most environmentally friendly kilowatt hour is the one you don't use! Energy efficiency and smart energy use can make a big impact. Check out Xcel's Windsource or Renewable Connect programs for clean energy options.

An unusual model of church ministry
July 10, 2019 /in News /by Brigitte Parenteau
Each Monday morning, workers at Westminster Presbyterian Church cover up the religious imagery inside a few Sunday school classrooms to create a more welcoming space for their weekday occupants — young children of diverse faiths receiving group therapy.
An entire section of this landmark church building in downtown Minneapolis now houses a child health and development facility. Walk the hallways and you'll find children getting speech therapy, physical therapy, mental health assessments and participating in an autism treatment program for East African youngsters.
While many churches house or operate child care centers, this type of partnership between Westminster and St. David's Center for Child & Family Development is rare. Westminster spent more than $2 million to construct a beautiful addition for a nonprofit tenant during a recent renovation, and the diverse staff at each facility say it has been a mutually beneficial arrangement.
"We're involved in a lot of community work but we've never done that work on site," said the Rev. Tim Hart-Andersen, senior pastor at Westminster. "There's something about having a mission partner working alongside us that is a wonderful experience. You see the difference the church is making right on site."

Why so many Twin Cities clergy members bicycle religiously
June 24, 2019 /in News /by Brigitte Parenteau
For a growing number of Twin Cities clergy members, biking is part of the ministry. One is a Lutheran pastor who pedals a sleek, speedy, three-wheeled enclosed bike called a velomobile. Another is a bike-commuting Baptist minister who writes blog posts about how churches should encourage cycling. And then there's the seminary student who thinks using his bike instead of a car makes him more likely to be a good Samaritan.

The Body of Christ is Global
March 23, 2019 /in News /by Brigitte Parenteau
For many years, Westminster has maintained partnerships with faith communities and nonprofit organizations in Cameroon, Cuba and Palestine. Our partners inspire us as they continue to witness and serve in circumstances of scarcity and conflict.
In Cameroon our primary partners are the Kumba Town Presbyterian Church and AIDSCARE Link—which funds micro-loans to help persons living with HIV/AIDS build small businesses and become financially independent, and provides resources to individuals displaced in the wake of continuing violence. Through our relationship with the National Synod of the Presbyterian-Reformed Church in Cuba, home-based churches are thriving, lay leaders are being trained and the hurricane damage to the national camp is nearing completion. Our partner congregation in Bethlehem, Christmas Evangelical Lutheran Church, hosted seminarian- Madeline Hart-Andersen- in January 2019 for an internship, and our travelers delivered suitcases of Christian education material.
Gifts to the annual Global Partnership offering support these relationships and travel scholarships for Westminster members to visit our partners. We will receive the offering on Sunday, May 19.
At the end of May Rev. Alanna Simone Tyler will join a group representing the PC(USA) to visit the Presbyterian Church of South Sudan. The travelers will see firsthand the work of SSEPP (South Sudan Education and Peacebuilding Project) as well as the ministries of PCUSA mission co-workers and mission partners.

Supported internship student secures role at stairlift manufacturer
Keighley College student, Tom Waddington, has accepted a full-time role at Acorn Stairlifts following his supported internship.
Tom began working part-time at Acorn Stairlifts earlier this year. He joined the local firm as part of a supported internship; a structured study programme run by Keighley College, enabling young people with an Education, Health and Care Plan to achieve sustainable paid employment by equipping them with the skills they need for work.
For the past nine months, Tom worked on the factory assembly lines, preparing metal work by inserting screws and bolts.

Michel Goossens Hired as Vice President of Sales for Europe as Demand for CloudBees Platform Accelerates
Former JBoss Executive to Drive Growth and Momentum in Europe
WOBURN, MA. and CLOUD COMPUTING WORLD FORUM, LONDON, UK – June 12, 2012 – CloudBees, Inc. , the Java Platform as a Service (PaaS) innovation leader, today announced that Michel Goossens, former vice president EMEA for Red Hat, has joined the company as vice president of European sales. Goossens brings over 20 years of industry experience to CloudBees, with more than 10 years specifically focused in the middleware business. At a time of exceptional demand for the CloudBees Platform, Goossens will drive growth across the region as momentum for PaaS grows.
Goossens brings a wealth of success in technology sales and marketing to CloudBees. He comes to CloudBees from e-commerce platform provider Magento, where he was vice president and general manager of EMEA. He rapidly built a successful sales and marketing team and, at the same time, developed a strong ecosystem of partners. In August 2011 Magento was acquired by eBay.
Goossens' career includes significant experience selling middleware and open source technology. Prior to Magento, he served as vice president for JBoss EMEA and, after Red Hat acquired JBoss, he continued in the same role, growing JBoss revenue substantially throughout the European region. He also served as vice president EMEA for both Novell and SilverStream. Goossens holds a degree in computer science from Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes Commerciales (EPHEC) in Brussels, Belgium.
"I have worked closely with Michel throughout my tenure at JBoss and Red Hat. I am very honored to have him join the CloudBees team. Besides the technology depth he brings to his new role, he understands how to help companies adopt new technologies, as well as how to be more efficient building and managing applications," said Sacha Labourey, CEO and founder, CloudBees. "European organizations are seeing that the CloudBees Java PaaS empowers development teams to focus all of their time building value for the organization. Business-critical applications are delivered more quickly, more cost effectively and with higher quality. At this stage in our growth, the leadership and success Michel brings to our European operations is a real asset for CloudBees."
"I am delighted to be at CloudBees. The CloudBees Platform is clearly the leader for Java PaaS application development and deployment," said Michel Goossens, vice president of European sales, CloudBees. "European companies are realizing the value they can derive from PaaS. I have made it a priority to get out and meet CloudBees customers and partners. They tell me that time to market pressures are continually increasing. By using the CloudBees Platform, they are better able to deliver quality applications more quickly, thus addressing business needs and meeting competitive challenges with far more agility than ever before."
CloudBees has grown new customer acquisition substantially over the last year or so in Europe. Overall, the company experienced a 10x growth factor at the end of 2011, versus the prior year. During this same period, several new System Integrator (SI) relationships were also established. The rapid growth reflects the adoption of the CloudBees' PaaS for end-to-end Java application development and deployment. Additionally, with the CloudBees AnyCloud™ deployment options, European customers can deploy their applications within Europe – with a public or private hosting service, or on-premise in their own data center. This flexibility addresses both regulatory requirements and transaction latency concerns.
Organizations and SIs subscribing to the CloudBees Java PaaS include:
Llustre, a UK-based home design retailer
Playfish, a UK-based developer of gaming software
A leading international luxury retailer, based in the UK
VSC Technologies, a subsidiary of French Railways and a leading European e-commerce travel organization
Groupe ADEO, a global home improvement retailer
AXA Banque, a leading French bank
Xebia, an international provider of software and IT services
Groupe Sfeir, a French provider of IT consulting and related services
Octo, an IT consulting organization, located in EMEA and South America
Zenika, a European systems integrator
Oxiane, a European services company
Objet Direct, a global software engineering company
"We have used the CloudBees Platform to help our customers develop applications far more quickly than they can in a traditional development environment," said Cyrille Le Clerc, chief technology officer, Xebia. "Using the CloudBees PaaS, our project start-up time is minimal – literally minutes to provision and launch a new project. Just as importantly, we can maintain a fast pace throughout the project, as we are not limited by resource constraints or IT bottlenecks. This is important for our customers, who are looking for every competitive edge they can get and need to deploy high quality applications as fast as possible."

Q: Update Stripe's Customer Credit Card Information I finally figured out how to implement Stripes Monthly Billing using this tutorial.
So far, A User can Create & Delete their Subscription with Stripe. But I am having trouble calling the hashes inside the API to have the User change his credit card information.
Question: How do I call/pass the child parameters in the documentation to update the Credit Card Fields using the method I have created update_card?
This is my Code with Comments:
CONTROLLER
class SubscriptionsController < ApplicationController

  def update
    @subscription = current_user.subscription

    ### I use the method update_card to update the customer's card
    @subscription.update_card

     if @subscription.update_card
      redirect_to edit_subscription_path, :success => 'Updated Card.'
    else
      flash.alert = 'Unable to update card.'
      render :edit
    end
  end

end

MODELS
class Subscription < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :plan_id, :user_id, :email, :stripe_customer_token, :last_4_digits,
              :card_token, :card_name, :exp_month, :exp_year, :stripe_card_token

  attr_accessor :stripe_card_token

  belongs_to :plan
  belongs_to :user

  ### How can this work with my edit form. Would I need to store each person's new card?
  def token
    token = Stripe::Token.create(
       :card => {
       :number => "4242424242424242",
       :exp_month => 1,
       :exp_year => 2015,
       :cvc => "314"
      },
    )
  end

  def update_card
    customer = Stripe::Customer.retrieve(stripe_customer_token)
    customer.email = "myteam@gmail.com"
    customer.description = "Unlimited"
    customer.card = token.id
    customer.save
  rescue Stripe::StripeError => e
    logger.error "Stripe Error: " + e.message
    errors.add :base, "#{e.message}."
    false
  end

Here is Stripe's Documentation Example Response

Javvarisi Upma(sabbakki Upma) is a Quick recipe.Bachelors and Office Goers can prepare this as a Tiffin recipe. Sabudana(Saggubiyyam) is full of starch or carbohydrates and is great for a quick boost of energy, and hence often served in India for breaking fasts during religious festivals. According to "The New Oxford Book of Food Plants," traditional Indian medicine uses sago in combination with rice to cool the body. Therefore, sago can function as an herbal remedy to treat ailments resulting from too much heat, such as the production of excess bile. Sago is also used in traditional medicine outside the Indian subcontinent in Sri Lanka, New Guinea and other Asian Pacific countries.
Soak the Javvarisi in Water Overnight.[Next day if there is any excess water drain it and keep it aside].
Pressure cook the Moong dal for 3 whistles or cook in a bowl with needed water till it becomes Soft.
Heat the oil, add Mustard seeds when it splutters add chana dal,urad dal, slit greenchillies and curry leaves.saute well.
Now add Sago(javvarisi) and saute for 5 to 10 minutes till sago turns colour from white to some shiny texture.
Now add Cooked Moong dal and Mix Well.
Switch off the stove, then add lemon juice. garnish with cilantro. Serve hot.
I was searching this aunthentic javarisi upma recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Dubai, Sep 28: India's lower-middle order showed a tremendous character as they defeated Bangladesh in the last-ball thriller by 3 wickets and finally lifted the Asia Cup 2018 for record seventh time. Chasing a target of 223 India were tested by a spirited Bangladesh bowling attack but eventually managed to win this game on the final ball of the innings.
India were given a run for their money by Bangladesh as the latter had almost blanked the reigning champions in the final of the tournament. Their bowlers kept the Men In Blue under pressure but in the end Kedar Jadhav (23*) and Kuldeep Yadav (5*) had the last laugh.
India got off to a decent start in the run chase but in-form Shikhar Dhawan (15) and Ambati Rayudu (2) were dismissed within 9 overs itself and the pressure shifted on skipper Rohit Sharma (48) and the remaining middle-order batsmen.
Rohit stitched a crucial partnership with Dinesh Karthik (37) but was dismissed while trying to hit a six and complete his half-century. After Rohit's dismissal, Karthik and MS Dhoni (36) revived India and added 54 runs for the fifth wicket but just when things were looking good for them, Mahmudullah trapped Karthik in front.
Dhoni then added some runs on the board with Jadhav, but the latter's hamstring injury eventually resulted in Dhoni losing his concentration into the middle and was dismissed and soon after Jadhav was called back into the dressing room as he wasn't able to rotate the strike. The new pair of Ravindra Jadeja (23) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (21) ensured India reach closer to victory with another crucial 45-run stand but both these batsmen departed as they reached on the verge of a win.
Finally, Jadhav and Kuldeep took 6 runs from the final 6 balls from part-time bowler Mahmudullah's over and ensured their team doesn't end on the losing side.
Earlier, Liton Das slammed his career's maiden ODI century before Bangladesh middle-order made a mess out of their batting to get restricted to 222 in 48.3 overs.
After being invited to bat first Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza played a masterstroke by promoting all-rounder Mehidy Hasan to open the innings with out of form Liton Das. The duo thus stunned all by stitching record opening stand of 120 for the first wicket. Bangladesh looked in cruise control as long as these two batted and frustrated the Indian bowlers for 20 overs.
Liton Das punishing the Indian bowlers at will as he was scoring at his will but the Indian bowlers handled the pressure well and ensured Bangladesh couldn't post a big total. Kedar Jadhav and Kuldeep Yadav bowled exceptionally well in the middle overs and picked up wickets at regular intervals after the opening partnership was broken. Once Jadhav removed Hasan for 32, Indian bowlers got three more wickets in a gap of 19 runs and pushed their opponents on the back foot.
Bangladesh batsmen also played some careless shots and were callous while running between the wickets, which gave their opponents an opportunity to tighten the noose around them. Indian affected three run outs and put the Bangladeshi batsmen under pressure.
This brings us to the end of this live update coverage. As Sehwag rightly pointed out, Team India need a lot of improvement in their middle-order and hope coach Ravi Shastri does the necessary changes ahead of the ODI series against West Indies. But before that, there is a two-match Test series lined up. See you on October 4.
Virender Sehwag lauds Bangladesh for their spirited show and feels India need a lot of improvement in their game!
Rohit Sharma's record as captain has been truly remarkable.
Indian fans celebrate outside Dubai International Stadium.
Shikhar Dhawan has been awarded the Man of the Match for scoroing 343 runs in the tournament.
It was a nail-biting finish for the Indians as they kept their nerves and finally went on to win the game. It was a draining game and Kedar Jadhav - who walked into the middle with an injured hamstring - showed his composure and experience. Rohit Sharma will therefore lift the title but credit goes to Mashrafe Mortaza & Co. for showing such a fight in such a low scoring game.
A single on the final delivery of the 50th over and India have defeated Bangladesh by 3 wickets to win the Asia Cup 2018. Kedar Jadhav and Kuldeep Yadav remain unbeaten. Bangladesh have lost this match fighting and their dream to beat India in the final couldn't be fulfilled.
Wicket! Bhuvneshwar Kumar departs for 21 and he has left his team in the lurch with his dismissal. The Bangladeshi team isn't letting this game slip away from their hands.
Wicket! Ravindra Jadeja has been dismissed for 23 as he's been caught behind by Mushfiqur Rahim. Rubel Hussain has got the breakthrough for his team with this scalp. India are 213/6 in 47.2 overs. 11 needed from 16 now.
After 45 overs, India haven't yet reached 200. They are 197/5, need 26 more from the next 30 balls, the pressure is building on the batsmen into the middle.
After 43 overs, India have reached 187/5. Bangladesh are bowling in a disciplined manner and this game is shifting in their favour.
39 overs have been bowled and India are under deep pressure. They need 54 runs to win from 66 deliveries.
India are finding themselves under deep pressure as Jadhav is struggling to walk, he's been asked to come of the field.
Big wicket! Kedar Jadhav's injury has done the damage for India as MS Dhoni loses concentration and edges Mustafizur Rahman to be caught behind the stumps for 36. India are in deep trouble now as their set batsman is out and they are five down.
India's middle order is no closer to a solution than it was before the tournament started. Maybe Rayudu at 4 for a while once Kohli returns. But time is running out.
Kedar is Injured as he has pulled his hamstrings. The physio is out into the middle to help the batsmen get fit. His presence into the middle is vital for India are under pressure in this run chase.
150 comes up for India in the 34th over as they are still 71 runs behind the target.
Bangladesh are building the pressure on India. Rubel Hussain has been introduced immediately by the skipper and bowls a maiden over. India - 139/4 after 32 overs.
This isn't going to be an easy task for the Indians as they still have 84 more runs to chase. Bangladesh are doing well as they have broken the partnership just at the right time and are trying to do further damage.
Wicket! Dinesh Karthik (37) is trapped in front by Mamudullah and India have lost their 4th wicket. Karthik was looking good but failed while trying to flick the ball towards leg side. India are 137/4. This wicket fell at wrong time.
4! A boundary towards leg side by Dinesh Karthik and this brings up 50-run stand between Dhoni and Karthik. India need 89 more runs to win this game.
100 comes up for India in the 24th over. The Bangladeshi bowlers have kept things tight in the last 10 overs, runs aren't coming easily to them.
Harsha Bhogle praises Captain Mortaza!
Mashrafe is doing an excellent job of making a small total look bigger than it is. Bangladesh have to keep him fit and running till the World Cup. He is the best captain they have had.
2 runs came from the 20th over and India have reached 90/3. Runs have dried up for the Indians ever since Rohit's departure. The Bangladeshi bowlers have consistently maintained pressure on the batsmen.
This is a very good test for India to show they can win games if the top three don't dominate.
Big Wicket! Rohit Sharma pulled Rubel Hussai to quickly complete his half-century but finds fielder Nazmul Islam in the deep and his well-constructed innings comes to an end for 48. India 83/3 in 16.4 overs. Bangladesh have got just the breakthrough they were looking for.
After 15 overs, India have reached 79/2. There was a mix-up into the middle but luckily no damage was done. Rohit Sharma - 47* and Dinesh Karthik - 13*.
Wicket! Captain Mashrafe Mortaza gets a scalp in his first over itself as he bowls a beautiful delivery and Ambati Rayudu departs for 2. It was a perfect outswinger and the batsman erred in reading it and edged to be caught behind the stumps. India - 46/2.
SIX! Rohit Sharma pulls Mustafizur for another maximum and the ball sails beyond the boundary rope. Even Jonty Rhodes was impressed with the shot played by Rohit.
Wicket! Nazmul Islam gets the breakthrough and Shikhar Dhawan (15) mistimes the leg-spinner to be caught by Soumya Sarkar. India - 35/1 after 4.4 overs. Not the start India would have hoped for, poor shot selection. The celebration from the bowler was quite animated.
Tidy over from Mustafizur Rahman as he conceded just 2 from it. India have scored 12/0.
Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are out in the middle to begin run chase of 223 and get 10 runs from the first over bowled by Mehidy Hasan.
Another record for MS Dhoni!
Bowled! Yorker from Bumrah and Bangladesh's innings has been restricted to 222 in 48.3 overs. What an impressive comeback this has been for India despite 120-run opening stand between Liton Das and Mehidy Hasan. Indian bowlers looked out of sorts in the first 20 overs but they stuck to their plans and mounted pressure on the opposition batsman. Floodgates were opened as soon as Kedar Jadhav drew the first blood for India and the Indian bowlers never looked back. India now require 223 to win this game and lift the trophy.
Run Out! Soumya Sarkar's innings of 33 comes to an end as he's been run out. Bangladesh have lost their 9th wicket and third in run out.
Wicket! Manish Pandey (substitute) runs Nazmul Islam out for 7 and Bangladesh have lost their 8th wicket in the process. Bangladesh are 213/8 in 46.3 overs.
45 overs have been bowled as Bangladesh have scored 202/7.
Wicket! Easy pickings! MS Dhoni had all the time in the world and ended Mortaza's cameo for 7 and Kuldeep Yadav gets the third wicket. Bangladesh - 196/7 in 42.5 overs.
OUT! Glove-work from @msdhoni brings an end to a special knock of Liton Das for 121. The TV umpire had a tough time judging this one but eventually ruled out that the batsman's shoe was on the line. Kuldeep Yadav gets another wicket. Bangladesh - 188/6.
Liton Das' batting strategy today!
Jadeja's superlative fielding earns him some praise.
Century! Maiden ODI Ton for Liton Das off 87 balls. This has been a top innings from the batsman who was struggling all through the tournament. He has comeback strongly and silenced his critics. Now he needs to convert it into an even bigger score as his team is looking to recover from 4 quick jolts.
Run Out! A sensational piece of fielding from Ravindra Jadeja and an even better throw towards the non-striker's end as Yuzvendra Chahal dislodged the bails to end Mithun's innings. Bangladesh - 139/4 in 28 overs.
These are not good figures for India.
This is the sixth century opening partnership vs India in a tournament final.
Wicket! Bangladesh's man-in-form Mushfiqur Rahim departs for 5 as he becomes a victim of Kedar Jadhav. The batsman tried to pull the bowler but couldn't get the distance and finds Bumrah at deep midwicket. Bangladesh - 137/3.
What has worked for the spinners!
Wicket! Imrul Kayes has been trapped in front by Chahal for 2. The ball was pitched outside off-stumps and crashed into the pads of the batsman and umpire raised his finger. The batsman went upstairs and it turned out to be umpire's call. Bangladesh - 128/2 in 23.5 overs. But their Man Friday - Liton Das is still present into the middle.
Wicket! Finally, something for the Indian team to cheer as partnership breaker Kedar Jadhav gets Mehidy Hasan for 32. Bangladesh lose their first wicket for 120 in 20.5 overs. Hasan has played his part well after being promoted to open the innings. Bangladesh are on top as the openers have given them a solid start.
After 20 overs, Bangladesh are 116/0. Liton Das - 85* has now scored highest runs for Bangladesh in the final.
Highest Opening Stand for Bangladesh against India.
100 comes up for Bangladesh in the 18th over itself! They are going extremely well in the game. Liton is doing what Fakhar Zaman did to them in Champions Trophy Final. The Indians have also given him a reprieve and he's making them pay for it.
After 17 overs, Bangladesh have reached 97/0. Mehidy Hasan - 26* and Liton Das - 69* are batting superbly and both of them have faced 51 deliveries so far.
After 15 overs, Bangladesh are 86/0. This has been some start from the pumped up batting side and captaincy from Indian captain Rohit Sharma hasn't been that well.
Dropped! Yuzvendra Chahal puts down a sitter as Liton Das mistimed Ravindra Jadeja but the fielder tried running backwards and failed to judge it completely. The dangerman gets a reprieve on 52.
FIFTY! Liton Das has notched up a quick-fire half-century off 33 balls. He has smashed 6 fours and 2 sixes in this innings. What an innings this has been from the opener?
Round 1 goes to Bangla Tigers !! Openers have given them a confident start 65/0 after 10 overs. They have weathered the new ball and put pressure on the opposition captain to make quick bowling changes.
Round 1 to Bangladesh. The openers have not only weathered the new ball, but scored heavily, with 58 in 8 overs.
Liton Das is on 🔥! He aggregated 16 runs from the second over bowled by Chahal and gave Bangladesh a scintillating start. Superb batting from the new opening pair.
Liton Das is looking in good form today he charges down the track and pulls Bumrah for a boundary, and takes a single on the next delivery to retain the strike. Bangladesh - 42/0 after 7 overs.
Rohit has introduced Chahal in the 6th over itself. There's certainly some pressure on the Indian captain as the pacers didn't get the early breakthrough.
5 overs have been bowled and Bangladesh have posted 33 runs on the board. This is just the kind of start they would have wanted in the finals. Indian pacers Bhuvneshwar and Bumrah haven't looked lethal so far and the openers are reaping the benefits.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah have bowled 2 overs each and they haven't been able to pick up any wickets. Bangladesh, on the other hand, have done well so far as they have scored 25 in 4 overs and haven't lost any wickets.
Liton Das has opened the innings with Mehidy Hasan in the finals against India. Captain Mashrafe Mortaza has taken a bold move by promoting the youngster as an opener to give some strength to the middle order. Will this move pay off? Let's wait and watch.
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Liton Das(w), Soumya Sarkar, Mohammad Mithun, Mushfiqur Rahim, Imrul Kayes, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza(c), Nazmul Islam, Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman.
India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni(w), Dinesh Karthik, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah.
Rohit Sharma has won the toss and opted to field. So Bangladesh are going to bat first in the final.
