Katrina was now conscious, what the box contains and went on to give it to the serious actor Nana Patekar. Imagine what the box contained. It had old underwears, a fake moustache and a sole chappal.

Katrina charmingly offered the gift to Nana who opened the packet only to get shocked. This also enraged her.

Later she realized it was a prank on her. A source informs “When Nana opened the box, Katrina was shocked. She was embarrassed and turned beet red.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Louisiana Recovery Authority (LRA) recently announced $16.9 million in additional funding to go on with restoring the city’s water distribution system to its pre-Katrina operating levels.

The funding reimbursed the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO) for repairing approximately 28,450 water leaks throughout the East Bank of New Orleans. The leaks, caused by Hurricane Katrina resulted in an additional loss of millions of gallons of potable water per day throughout the system.

“FEMA is working with the Sewerage and Water Board to take a systems approach to funding damages,” said FEMA’s Louisiana Transitional Recovery Office Acting Director Tony Russell.

“We know that the various leaks result in the combined loss of significant amounts of clean water daily, so our focus is on enabling the Sewerage and Water Board to fix the overall problem, instead of just funding repairs on a leak-by-leak basis.”

“Allowing the Sewerage and Water Board to access these funds and fix the larger problem just makes sense,” said LRA Executive Director Paul Rainwater. “Since Gov. Jindal took office, we have advocated for a system-wide approach to fixing problems, and I’ have always believed that looking at these issues in the broader sense - instead of pipe by pipe - is more efficient. Again, I want to thank Tony Russell for listening to our concerns, and more importantly acting on them in a productive way.”

This funding will allow for the removal of water meters at vacant properties and fixing broken water meters at occupied homes; placing flow meters on the water system’s six major trunks and on major feeder lines that provide drinking water to New Orleans East and the Lower Ninth Ward to help locate areas of greatest water loss; and funding reusable sensors to identify leaks within one foot of their locations.

“We are pleased that FEMA recognizes the critical role the Sewerage and Water Board plays in the vitality and life of New Orleans,” said Sewerage and Water Board Executive Director Marcia St. Martin. “Absent these services of water, sewer and drainage, there is no city recovery. The $16.9 million represents the repairs begun by the 300 member team that remained on duty through Katrina and the repairs continue to be made daily.”

On the whole, FEMA has provided a sum of $68 million to help restore the city’s water distribution system. To date, FEMA has provided more than $274 million to the SWBNO for recovery work following Hurricane Katrina.

When FEMA approves projects through its supplemental Public Assistance grant, the funds are transferred to a federal Smartlink account. Once the funds have reached this account, the applicant can demand reimbursement from the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) for eligible work completed. Obligated funds may change over time as the project worksheet is a living grant that is often adjusted as bids come in and scope of work is aligned.

The Public Assistance program works with state and local officials to fund recovery measures and the rebuilding of government and certain private nonprofit organizations’ buildings, as well as roads, bridges and water and sewer plants. In order for the process to be successful, federal, state and local partners coordinate to draw up project plans, fund these projects and oversee their completion.

Created in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita in 2005, the Louisiana Recovery Authority (LRA) is the coordinating and planning body leading the most extensive rebuilding effort in American history. The central point for hurricane recovery in Louisiana, the LRA works closely with the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) and partners with state and federal agencies to oversee more than $20 billion worth of programs, speed the pace of rebuilding, remove hurdles and red tape and ensure that Louisiana recovers safer and stronger than before.

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to make sure that as a nation we work jointly to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

As the Silver Ferns results this season have been a bit of mix bag, there have been a number of individual hit stories.

One such player who has developed well is Katrina Grant a young defender, who has formed a deadly defensive combination with captain Casey Williams.

Hampered by a recurring hip-flexor injury previously in the season, Katrina Grant made only a limited impact at goal defense in her first few test outings for the Ferns.

But a switch to goal keeps during the Australian series saw Grant initiate to make her mark.

With the athletic New Zealand captain out at the front hunting for intercepts, and the efficient Katrina Grant cleaning up in the back, the pair has solidified their status as New Zealand’s favorite defensive combination.

Katrina Grant, who has formed a tight bond with Williams on and off the court, is delighted with the way their defensive partnership has come all along this season.

Katrina Grant says “We’ve both grown in our roles and I think our combination is coming along pretty nicely.”

“I love it. It has been a great experience and you can’t really ask for a much better goal defense to have out in front of you.”

The pair was at their dominant best in the final test win over Australia in Auckland previous month, but since then has to quickly adjust to different styles.

Katrina Grant’s latest challenge has been trying to contain 1.96m Jamaican shooter Romelda Aiken, who is well serviced by crafty goal attack Simone Forbes and the defender admits she did not make as much impact as she would have liked in Wednesday’s opening test, but is hoping to obtain another crack today.

“Coming off playing Australia in those 5 tests where they had the shorter shooters and we have kind of had to change our game plan a wee bit adjacent to the taller shooters. It’s tough - you certainly spend a lot of time off the ground that is for sure, but you just have to be constant and hope it pays off.”

Salman Khan may kick-start Katrina Kaif’s filmy career but she achieved success only when she was paired with action hero Akshay Kumar. Similar story is with Akshay Kumar also.

Akshay Kumar also achieved heights when he was paired opposite Katrina in movies like Namastey London, Welcome, Singh Is King and now it is Blue. Akki is not taking the entire credit for his uprising alone but also giving glory to his on-screen lady.

In recent times, Akshay Kumar in Katrina Kaif appreciation said that she has boomed his filmy career. He added that she possesses a bunch of talent and he enjoyed a lot when working with Katrina.

Well, Akshay kumar career graph never tends downward as long as he is paired with Katrina Kaif. It is true that Katrina Kaif is Akshay’s lucky mascot and vice versa.

Mumbai: Sturdy actor of Bollywood Akshay Kumar is really busy in giving interviews and he talks only about his and Katrina’s hit pairing in his latest successful movies.

And that’s quite understandable and after all the pair has been giving hits on a regular basis now. Akshay recently said that Katrina Kaif has been a godsend to his film career. He also added that the lady has got beauty with brains.

Akshay is not able to resist on his own because the films they did together have not failed at the box-office so far.

Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer Blue is the latest example with Namastey London, Singh is Kinng and so on being the older ones.
