<p>World&#39;s richest cricket board (BCCI), faced a major embarrassment on Saturday after a blooper on its official website - www.bcci.tv. The website&nbsp;went down&nbsp;for almost a day. The&nbsp;problem occurred due to failure in renewing the domain name.</p>

<p>The domain was valid from 2-2-2006 to 2-2-2019. The renewal was due on or before February 3, 2018. The board&#39;s website was acting up until Sunday evening even as the senior national men&#39;s team was&nbsp;playing the second ODI against South Africa at the Centurion.</p>

<p>Website registrars register.com and namejet.com had put the domain name up for public bidding, receiving seven bids so far with the highest of $270.</p>

<p>In 2008 Lalit Modi, first Chairman and Commissioner of the Indian Premier League had bought the domain name from register.com in&nbsp;his name.</p>

<p>In 2010 Modi suffered a ban for life by the BCCI and suspended from all the acting responsibilities but he did not transfer the intellectual property.</p>

<p>Modi didn&#39;t&nbsp;transfer the rights to the BCCI, the BCCI had filed a case against him in 2013. The case is pending in the Bombay High Court, the Court had asked Modi&rsquo;s lawyers in 2014 to give an undertaking of co-operating on all operational fronts until a judgement is passed.</p>

<p>Finally, the site has been restored after the BCCI paid up, reports said.</p>

BCCI website restored after 'Lalit Modi' blooper

<p>China&#39;s military on Sunday launched a website inviting the public to report leaks and fake news, as well as illegal online activities by military personnel, the latest step in a push to ensure Communist Party control over the internet.</p>

<p>Beijing has been ramping up measures to secure the internet and maintain strict censorship, a process that accelerated ahead of the party&#39;s five-yearly National Congress that took place in October.</p>

<p>The new website is an effort to implement the guiding spirit of the Congress and will help maintain a &quot;clear internet space&quot; surrounding the military, according to 81.cn, the military&#39;s official news portal.</p>

<p>Citizens are encouraged to use the platform to report online content that attacks the military&#39;s absolute leadership and distorts the history of the military and the Communist Party, the website said.</p>

<p>Cases of military personnel illegally opening online social accounts and publishing unauthorized information should also be reported, it said.</p>

<p>President Xi Jinping has made China&#39;s &quot;cyber sovereignty&quot; a top priority in his sweeping campaign to bolster security. He has also reasserted the ruling Communist Party&#39;s role in limiting and guiding the online discussion.</p>

China's military on Sunday launched a website inviting the public to report leaks and fake news, as well as illegal online activities by military personnel, the latest step in a push to ensure Communist Party control over the internet. Beijing has been ramping up measures to secure the internet and maintain strict censorship, a process that accelerated ahead of the party's five-yearly National Congress that took place in October. The new website is an effort to implement the guiding spirit of the Congress and will help maintain a "clear internet space" surrounding the military, according to 81.cn, the military's official news portal. Citizens are encouraged to use the platform to report online content that attacks the military's absolute leadership and distorts the history of the military and the Communist Party, the website said. Cases of military personnel illegally opening online social accounts and publishing unauthorized information should also be reported, it said. President Xi Jinping has made China's "cyber sovereignty" a top priority in his sweeping campaign to bolster security. He has also reasserted the ruling Communist Party's role in limiting and guiding the online discussion.

China military sets up website to report leaks, fake news

<p>Just over a week after she blazed into controversy for plagiarising Michelle Obama, the website of Donald Trump&#39;s third wife Melania mysteriously vanished following questions about her university education.<br />
<br />
&quot;The website in question was created in 2012 and has been removed because it does not accurately reflect my current business and professional interests,&quot; the mother of one tweeted yesterday.<br />
<br />
The website disappeared after US media questioned whether the wife of the Republican nominee for president had a degree in architecture from the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia, as the online biography stated.<br />
<br />
Trump told MSNBC in February only that she &quot;studied&quot; design and architecture. A follow-up interview with GQ Magazine published in April said she dropped out after a year to pursue a modeling career in Milan and later Paris.<br />
<br />
Those who try to access www.melaniatrump.com are now automatically diverted to her husband&#39;s company website.<br />
<br />
While his three adult children, who hold executive positions at The Trump Organization, have biographies on the site, she does not. Neither is she mentioned in her husband&#39;s more than 4,000-word online biography.<br />
<br />
Yesterday&#39;s tweet was a rare update from Melania Trump in the 13 months since her husband launched his controversial bid for the White House.<br />
<br />
While the ex-model used to post regular style, food and scenic photographs, she has tweeted rarely since his foray into politics.<br />
<br />
Last week, a staffer apologised for cribbing remarks from the current Democratic first lady for a speech Melania Trump delivered at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.<br />
<br />
Melania Trump had &quot;always liked&quot; Michelle Obama and read out passages from one of her speeches as examples of what she wanted to say, said the staffer.<br />

The website was removed because it did not 'accurately reflect my current business and professional interests', Melania tweeted yesterday

Just over a week after she blazed into controversy for plagiarising Michelle Obama, the website of Donald Trump's third wife Melania mysteriously vanished following questions about her university education. "The website in question was created in 2012 and has been removed because it does not accurately reflect my current business and professional interests," the mother of one tweeted yesterday. The website disappeared after US media questioned whether the wife of the Republican nominee for president had a degree in architecture from the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia, as the online biography stated. Trump told MSNBC in February only that she "studied" design and architecture. A follow-up interview with GQ Magazine published in April said she dropped out after a year to pursue a modeling career in Milan and later Paris. Those who try to access www.melaniatrump.com are now automatically diverted to her husband's company website.

Melania Trump's website deleted after degree questions

Wal-Mart Stores Inc said on Monday it plans to sell its Chinese e-commerce business Yihaodian to Chinese online retailer JD.com Inc for a 5 per cent equity stake in JD.com, a strategic alliance that aims to expand WalMart&#39;s reach in China.<br />
<br />
Under the deal, JD.com will issue about 145 million new class A shares to Wal-Mart, worth about $1.5 billion at JD.com&#39;s current valuation.<br />
<br />
Shares of Wal-Mart rose 26 cents, or 0.4 per cent, to $71.21 in afternoon New York Stock Exchange trading. JD.com&#39;s ADRs were up nearly 8 per cent, or $1.56, at $21.58<br />
<br />
Wal-Mart took a stake in Yihaodian, which has focussed on online grocery sales and caters to affluent female customers, in 2011 before taking full ownership last July.<br />
<br />
That deal combined Yihaodian&#39;s local expertise with Wal-Mart&#39;s global sourcing and supply chain capabilities, but growth was hindered when Wal-Mart narrowed the number of sellers on the site, according to a note from Barclays issued on Monday.<br />
<br />
In the latest agreement, JD.Com, China&#39;s second-largest online retailer, will control the Yihaodian brand and website, while Walmart will continue to operate the Yihaodian direct sales business and will sell on the Yihaodian marketplace.<br />
<br />
The deal will give Walmart access to JD.Com&#39;s online traffic and expand its reach into the Chinese market. Sam&#39;s Club China will open a flagship store on JD.Com and utilise its delivery network, the companies said. Walmart&rsquo;s China stores will be listed as a preferred retailer on JD.com&rsquo;s crowd-sourced platform, O2O JV Dada.<br />
<br />
Brian Yarbrough, an analyst with Edward Jones, said the deal with JD.com was a more cost-effective way for Wal-Mart to get its products and name in the marketplace by partnering with a large, experienced player.<br />
<br />
&quot;It doesn&#39;t mean that they&#39;ve pulled away, but to me it tells me they are trying to make smarter investments,&quot; said Yarbrough.<br />
<br />
Walmart&rsquo;s financial adviser on the deal was Morgan Stanley &amp; Co. LLC and its legal advisor was Morrison &amp; Foerster LLP. JD.com&rsquo;s legal advisors were Orrick Herrington Sutcliffe LLP and Han Kun Law Offices.<br />
