National Assembly Speaker Ali Al-Rashed told reporters after a meeting with Justice Minister Shareeda Al-Maousherji that he has been informed that “Cabinet ministers submitted their resignation to the prime min- ister and accordingly they will not attend the Assembly session tomorrow (today)”. Rashed insisted that the step is not a Cabinet resig- nation as only ministers have submitted their resig- nations. Under Kuwaiti law, the Cabinet resigns when the prime minister submits his resignation and the res- ignations of Cabinet minis- ters to HH the Amir. It becomes effective only after the Amir accepts it. Rashed said that as the government Ali Al-Rashed has its measures, the Assembly also has its constitution- al methods. Earlier in the day, Rashed could not open the Assembly session because of the absence of the gov- ernment which boycotted the session in protest against the two grillings against the two ministers. Rashed told MPs present in the chamber that “due to the absence of Continued on Page15 MoH issues KUWAIT: Arrested women are herded into a bus during a surprise raid in Shuwaikh Industrial area yesterday. guidelines 400 in police net amid crackdown on new virus 6 new Saudi cases By Hanan Al-Saadoun Gen Sulaiman Al-Fahd said in a statement and cooperation with different sectors of under the illusion that the security men that the campaign covering Shuwaikh the ministry that acted in a civilized way, are only looking into particular cases, KUWAIT: Kuwait’s Ministry of Health made an admin- KUWAIT: Around 400 foreign workers Industrial area was one of several such guaranteeing everyone’s legal rights.

The paper investigates which members of the interview are responsible for controlling the directions of discourse and it examines the difference between casual conversation and television interview communication. Lexico-Grammatical Analysis (LGA) model by Eggins and Slade (1997) was applied for data analysis. Results of the study illustrated that distribution of power in discourse is dichotomous, although unequal, but the great amount of power resided with the interviewer as compared to the interviewee as he has to control the directions of the interview discourse. The findings further revealed that the discourse of television interviews is diverse from the casual discourse. Keywords: Power Distribution, Television Interview, HARD talk, Lexico-Grammatical Analysis Introduction Communication is the process of transferring useful and meaningful information/ knowledge from one person to another about the topic of common interest.

    Alfred Finnbogason se marcha cedido al Olympiacos Publicado por: Iker julio 25, 2015 0 El delantero islandés de la Real Sociedad Alfred Finnbogason se marchará cedido al Olympiacos griego con opción de compra para los helenos. El Olympiacos se reserva una opción de compra por 4,5 millones de euros si quiere hacerse con el jugador en propiedad. Para la cesión durante la temporada 2015/2016 el conjunto griego abonará a la Real Sociedad la cantidad de medio millón de euros. A falta únicamente de que el jugador pase el reconocimiento médico, la firma del contrato de cesión se producirá inmediatamente. Mañana mismo viajará Finnbogason a Atenas y pronto se anunciará de forma oficial la cesión del jugador, aunque la entidad txuri urdin ya ha reconocido el acuerdo verbal al que se ha llegado con Olympiacos. La salida de Alfred Finnbogason provoca que Moyes tenga que decidirse y perfilar el equipo durante las próximas semanas. Parece inminente la llegada de un delantero centro nato del gusto del escocés, los nombres que saltan a la palestra son múltiples, por lo que tendremos que esperar. De esta manera, además de un delantero centro, se cree que la Real podría incorporar un nuevo hombre de banda que sea veloz, requisito imprescindible para Moyes.
