Why Hindus should not be obsessed with UCC and Section 295A, and instead seek liberation of temples
Hindus need to revisit their understanding of Section 295A and the Uniform Civil Code; they should, instead, seek the immediate liberation of their temples. Let this be the electoral issue in 2024
I have been a free speech absolutist. I detested Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) the same way hard-core Nehruvians abhorred Article 44 of the Constitution. Section 295A defines and prescribes punishment for “deliberate and malicious” acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs. As for Article 44, it lays down that the state shall endeavour to secure a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) for the citizens throughout the territory of India.
However, in the wake of the Nupur Sharma episode, and especially after the killing of at least six people just for supporting the former BJP spokesperson, the fallacy of the idea of free speech was too evident to miss. Though such incidents have occurred several times in the past too, the fact that this time it has taken place when there is a strong, nationalist government at the Centre, has been an eye-opener on the challenges facing the nation.
Free speech absolutism requires absolute and uncompromising equality among citizens, at least in the eyes of the establishment. It works well if the system is non-partisan and society is not besieged by fears and dilemmas. The Nupur Sharma episode and a series of killings thereafter prove that the community that is often projected by the Left-liberal ecosystem as “dara hua Musalman” doesn’t really need Section 295A to protect itself from “deliberate and malicious” acts intended to outrage its religious feelings.
Through the murderous acts of a few of its co-religionists and by invoking the collective might of the global ummah, the binary of self-censorship and orchestrated reverence for the faith is generated and street veto is instinctively put in place. No wonder, soon after a master fact-checker created a global outrage by selectively and mischievously editing the Nupur Sharma tape, I asked one of my commentators why he was repeatedly using the term “holy” in his article, and pat came the reply: “It’s better to be safe than sorry. I don’t want ‘them’ to have even an iota of doubt about my respect for their religion!”
Now rewind the Nupur Sharma tape, and see those parts which our master fact-checker deliberately edited out: In her defence, it can be said that Nupur Sharma was only reacting to the provocation of a Muslim panellist who said not-so-savoury things about a just discovered Shiva-linga at the Gyanvapi mosque. As a spokesperson of the ruling party, Nupur Sharma may have erred and embarrassed the Modi government, especially among its Arab friends, but as an individual she deserved to be defended. The BJP could have made a distinction between the two and spelt it aloud: Of her duties as a party spokesperson and her rights as a citizen of India.

The bigger message coming out of the episode, however, is that Hindus, more than anybody else, need legal support to not just defend their way of life but also their religion and gods. Giving up on Section 295A would be like abdicating the only shield they have, especially at a time when the community as a whole has turned its back on the martial tradition of the Indic civilisation. Today, for educated Hindus the very imagery of their gods and goddesses flaunting their respective weapons seems so out of sync, born and brought up on Gandhism, which, if VS Naipaul is to believed, was a “bits and pieces” philosophy largely inspired by foreign ideals and ideologies (A Writer’s People: Ways of Looking and Feeling). So, when the State largely fails to protect its citizens and Hindus find themselves emasculated both intellectually and physically, Section 295A is all they have to protect themselves, howsoever antediluvian this notion may sound!
India’s tragedy is that when it was under British rule, it had a flourishing liberal ecosystem unabashedly led by Hindu nationalists and intellectuals. Colonial rule could not stem Hindu civilisational ethos. But after India gained Independence, the country — under the heady mix of Gandhism and Nehruism — did what our colonial masters failed to do: Put in place a system that was awfully apologetic about India’s Hindu past and in the name of secularism created an order that innately tilted in favour of minorities — Nehru pompously called it secularism!
The 1955 Hindu Code Bill, which sought to reform personal laws for the Hindu community, is a classic example of what ailed Nehruism. Noted jurist and a member of the Nehru cabinet, MC Chagla wrote his 1973 memoirs, Roses in December, how Jawaharlal Nehru showed “great strength and courage” in getting the Hindu Reform Bill passed, but “accepted the policy of laissez faire where the Muslims and other minorities were concerned”. Acharya JB Kripalani, speaking during the parliamentary debate on the Hindu Code Bill, was even more scathing in his criticism as he accused Nehru of being communal “because you (Nehru) are bringing forward a law about monogamy only for Hindu community”. He thundered, “Take it for me that the Muslim community is prepared to have it but you are not brave enough to do it.”
Today, 67 years later, when the buzz is that the Modi government may go in for the UCC, the Muslims-are-not-yet-ready narrative still finds a resonance. The State is again being advised to wait till the community is ready to embrace the change on its own. The real question, however, is: Does Hindu society need to care about UCC when both the Left-liberal, Nehruvian seculars and the Muslim community are busy giving it a communal colour? What is the Hindu community supposed to gain out of it all? Nothing! To the contrary, given the apologetic nature of our governments, one won’t be surprised if the UCC may come in with certain provisions that might deliberately and ostensibly be anti-Hindu, just to showcase the ‘other side’ how wholesome and non-partisan the entire exercise is!
Instead of the UCC, the issue that must be of immediate interest to Hindus is the liberation of their temples from state control. Why should Hindu temples be ‘managed’ by the secular State when the same courtesy is not applied to the institutions of other religions? TR Ramesh, who has been fighting for the cause for decades now, has shared several documents with this author that not just showcase the State mismanagement in running Hindu temples, but also deliberate diversion and loot of temple resources for ‘secular’ works. The State interference is not limited to just management of temples, but also mode and basis of worship.
Noted lawyer and author J Sai Deepak gives an interesting perspective to this phenomenon. In his seminal book, India That Is Bharat: Coloniality, Civilisation, Constitution, he brings out how the Indian state has enacted “at least 15 Hindu-specific legislations” that enable state control and facilitate state entrenchment in Hindu institutions. “Clearly, this is attributable to the Indian state’s embracing of the colonial assumption that the ‘Hindoo’ is corrupt, debauched and backward, especially if Brahmin, and therefore, such institutions must be under state control in order to ‘reform’ them,” he writes.
Temple liberation is what should concern — and bother — Hindus today. Yes, it would be a momentous day for India’s democracy to have UCC in place, for it would mark the beginning of a true liberal-secular culture in the country, but why should Hindus bet everything on how many times Muslims marry, especially when their own religious bodies are under the subjugation of the ‘secular’ State?
Vir Sanghvi, the then editor of Sunday, in the wake of The Satanic Verses controversy in the late 1980s, wrote: “In 1988, secular liberals found their secularism in conflict with their liberalism. The liberal view would have been to fight the ban: But the secular thing to do was to ban something that could offend Muslims... We should have preferred our liberalism over what we saw as secularism.”
Sanghvi, unintentionally, gave away the secular game in India when he matter-of-factly said that being a secular one couldn’t afford to offend Muslim. This is the Indian version of secularism. No wonder, for all his liberalism, Sanghvi, in the end, supported a ban on The Satanic Verses, even before theocratic Iran could do so. Until such a perverted version of secularism thrives in India, Hindus cannot afford but see Section 295A as an ally in defending their culture, gods. They can also resist the idea of being obsessed with the UCC, for it may come demanding a pound of flesh from the Hindu body that’s already drained of its élan vital in a patently unsecular secular order. Hindus, instead, must look inwards and seek the liberation of their temples. Let this be the electoral agenda in 2024.

One woman’s recent encounter with Sasquatch has us wondering if it was actually Bigfoot or a big fake.
Recently, an Ohio woman claimed that the creature returned to her neck of the woods near her home, based on an audio recording she heard. Suzanne Ferencak, who’s a bigfoot hunter in her spare time, recently shared with local journalists that she recorded howling in her nearly decade-long tenure as a sasquatch specialist.
An analyst described the two-minute recording as having “high potential” of carrying the sounds of one Bigfoot attempting to contact another one, the News Journal reported.
“The first howler has a brassy tone to its voice that can be indicative” of Sasquatch, she said.
She added: “There are a couple [of] features in the execution, such as shifting to an ‘AA’ phoneme at the end of the call that are indicative as well, most noticeable in the last two howls.” However, other wildlife experts are somewhat skeptical of the sounds, according to a USA Today report.
Employees at nearby Mohican State Park theorized that the sounds could’ve come from a male coyote calling back its pack. The Bigfoot enthusiast first spotted the creature in May of 2013 when it reportedly leaped over a back road southeast of her hometown of Loudonville, Ohio.
Ferencak told reporters that her rural home is prime real estate for Bigfoot and, over the past few years, she’s experienced knocks and howls around her house and other sightings. However, the Bigfoot activity had since died down some.
Despite this, Ferencak purchased an audio recorder for her backyard as a way to keep eyes on any Bigfoot activity. “If I’m out, I always have a recorder going,” she told a local news outlet. “I’ve been doing this for nine years.”
Man murders his friend as a result of his Bigfoot fear
On July 3, Ferencak got her wish. On that day, she caught the loudest howls she’s heard this year. She suspects that the sounds came from a young or female Bigfoot calling out to her babies.
Filmmakers documented Ferencak’s previous encounters in 2017 in the film The Back 80.
As a member of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, she’s excited to continue spreading awareness about the mysterious monster.
In another Bigfoot-related story, Larry Sanders and Jimmy Knighten were noodling last month when the two got into an altercation. When it was all said and done, Sanders drowned Knighten.
The state’s Bureau of Investigation later arrested Sanders on a murder charge. During his confession, Sanders claimed that his fear of Bigfoot led him to murder his friend.
According to reports, Sanders was under the impression that his fishing buddy would lure a sasquatch to their location. He was afraid he would leave him there to be eaten by the tall-tale animal.
His fear of being murdered by Bigfoot led him to kill Knighten in a twisted form of self-defense. | https://outsider.com/outdoors/viral/ohio-woman-claims-she-captured-footage-bigfoot-howling-woods-near-her-home/ | 2022-08-07T02:19:40Z | https://outsider.com/outdoors/viral/ohio-woman-claims-she-captured-footage-bigfoot-howling-woods-near-her-home/ | true | 1 |

IRVINE — Rams star cornerback Jalen Ramsey appears to be on track for the season opener after increasing his training camp workload on Saturday.
Ramsey, who had shoulder surgery in June, participated in his first individual period of the summer and had a personal workout with defensive coordinator Raheem Morris before joining his teammates during 7-on-7 drills. The five-time Pro Bowler took off his pads and helmet for the 11-on-11 portion.
“He did a great job,” Rams coach Sean McVay said. “I think we’re really looking at it with him as his own five-day acclimation period. He did a great job yesterday getting some work in before the jog through, got some field work today, did a lot of 7-on-7. I think he’s feeling good. Then we will continue to increase that workload as we go and think it’ll get even more and more once we get back to Cal Lu (Cal Lutheran).”
Ramsey took a hit on the left shoulder from wide receiver Brandon Powell to start the 7-on-7 period, which led to concern from Powell but Ramsey waved him off and continued playing.
“He’s feeling really good,” McVay said. “It’s as much as anything, just kind of getting him back out on the field in a smart way, feeling those pads. I think he was a little irritated that his shoulder pads were a little bit bigger than what he’d like, but he still found a way to make it look really good and thought his movement was good.”
Ramsey’s availability for the Sept. 8 season opener against the Buffalo Bills was in doubt after his procedure late in the offseason, but he’s had many positives in his recovery process. He avoided the physically unable to perform list to start training camp and was allowed to participate in walk-through workouts.
McVay joked that it hasn’t been easy to get the competitive Ramsey to pull-back when he’s on the field.
“That’s part of where you want to be specific in the types of calls that Raheem has,” McVay said, “playing in certain spots where you can kind of keep him out of harm’s way because what makes him great is the instincts take over and he is not thinking about that shoulder.”
CAMP NOTE FROM SATURDAY
Running back Cam Akers had his busiest 11-on-11 period of the summer and delivered a productive performance on the ground.
He received about 10 carries and recorded yards by bursting through holes and making smooth cuts upfield. The Rams have been cautious with Akers, who tore his Achilles tendon last summer, but they finally let him loose Saturday.

Some people look forward to retirement as a time to put up your feet and take life just a little bit easier – but that is far from the case with George and Erlinda Biondic.
To mark his upcoming 70th birthday, George, along with his wife, 82, are gearing up for a lengthy trek, one which will see the couple walk from Lake Ontario to Barrie in support of the Aurora Food Pantry.
The Aurora residents are set to leave the city on foot on the morning of August 13, travelling Yonge Street, spending the night at home, and continuing their trek the next day to Barrie City Hall.
“Everyone has a birthday, but George has chosen to have a reverse birthday by giving to others,” says Allison Stuart, Board Chair of the Aurora Food Pantry. “He is going to walk from Toronto to Barrie and is encouraging his family and friends to celebrate his birthday walk by making donations to the Pantry. This amazing gesture will put food on the tables of our clients during these challenging times.”
While a walk from the foot of Toronto to Barrie City Hall might seem daunting to the average person, regardless of age, George and Erlinda Biondic are not your ordinary people. Since their retirement, they have dedicated themselves to physical fitness and running, each racking up several Canadian and International records in their age brackets.
George’s family were refugees from former Yugoslavia and Erlinda immigrated to Canada from the Philippines. Like so many other refugees and immigrants, they came to Canada for a better life. Although they can understand firsthand the struggles that families face when starting over in a new country, they know that a better life is possible with the help and support of their neighbours.
“The way the economy is, people are going around hungry even in this wealthy nation of ours,” says George. “There’s a real need here and we thought that if we could combine [our love of running with] addressing a real need, it was time to do something a little wild for my birthday and do something beyond us. It’s benefiting our backyard of Aurora…and our community where we have been living since 1993. We feel lucky to be here and we can’t think of a better place to be.”
Aurora is also a great place to be when considering this lengthy walk.
On the GO line, they plan on taking the train down to Union Station ahead of the trip – “We’re trying to do our little bit for climate change,” says George – and taking it back to Aurora once they complete their mission at Barrie City Hall.
They scoped out the route by car, however, just a few weeks ago to make sure everything was in order and, most importantly, doable, and they’re looking forward to making a difference in the local community.
This isn’t the first time they’ve put their feet down on the road for a good cause. Several years ago, they travelled from the east coast of Canada with a group, bound for Ontario, to raise awareness and funds for Canada’s Paralympians.
But this time it is decidedly a couple’s effort for the Food Pantry.
“We haven’t had any children so our life after we retired was looking around for something to do,” says George. “For me, and for years, it was ultra-running and around six years ago Erlinda said, ‘Well, why can’t I do one of these races?’ She came out and did her first race, which was a three-day race and got a whole bunch of Canadian age records and she was having so much fun, did some more, got more records, and all this came out of the blue. Most often people say when you hit 65 it is time to sit back, do nothing, and your best years are behind you. I feel that the best years of your life don’t have to be before 65. Erlinda is clear evidence of that because I would say probably some of the finest years in her life have been since she turned 65 and it has now been 17 years.
“Life has its opportunities. It doesn’t have to end at 65 and no matter what your situation may be – socio-economically, physically – and no matter how bleak things may look, things can turn around. I guess that’s kind of the message in this walk and in our lives.”
To contribute to George and Erlinda’s fundraising walk benefiting the Aurora Food Pantry, visit aurorafoodpantry.ca, click DONATE, and select “George Biondic’s 70th Birthday Walk” from the drop-down menu.
“The summer is a challenging time at the Pantry as donations are down and families are seeking more help as children are home during the day,” says Ms. Stuart. “Unanticipated generosity such as George’s appeal to family and friends to donate to the Aurora Food Pantry in celebration of his birthday walk allow us to provide an extra boost to our clients’ grocery hampers.”

6 Sort of Pronouns And the ways to Help them learn To the Students
Personal Pronouns
Individual pronouns are the ones you to definitely refer to some body, cities, something, and you can suggestions. Individual pronouns are among the very first conditions ESL college students learn since they are very repeated and you can essential in speaking and you can skills English. Individual pronouns is going to be divided right up on the a couple big categories. Certain personal pronouns is subject pronouns (We, we, your, the guy, she, it, they) while some is actually target pronouns (me personally, us, you, him, their, they, them). It is essential to have ESL children to know the difference between subject and you can object pronouns. Subject pronouns end up being the subject of one’s phrase. Object pronouns function as object out-of a great verb or a preposition. It is not strange, particularly when an excellent pronoun is the object out of a preposition, for students to incorrectly play with a subject pronoun. Actually, local audio system get it done, too. One like perplexing usage of subject and target pronouns will come when he is part of a compound topic (or target). Since they are connected with several other noun inside the a material subject, it is easy to mistakenly purchase the right pronoun.
Practice: Offer their people numerous sentences containing substance victims and material stuff out of verbs and you will prepositions made use of both precisely and you will improperly eg since the of these lower than. Has actually students see per phrase omitting one of the nouns into the the latest material section. In case the correct pronoun is in the sentence, it has to nonetheless sound right if almost every other an element of the material bit is omitted. When your wrong pronoun is used, students will be able to share with on framework. Myself and you will my personal sibling are likely to the flicks. (incorrect) The guy gave the latest cupcakes to Jackie and you can myself. (correct) Youll need to go due to I and Adam to get to your. (incorrect) Alison and i can get chemistry along with her the coming year. (correct)
Possessive Pronouns
Possessive pronouns inform you ownership. Some possessive pronouns are utilized which have an effective noun in a sentence to display ownership (my, all of our, their, his, this lady, their, their). Almost every other possessive pronouns can be used separately (mine, ours, your, their, hers, its, theirs), that is, they don’t are available alongside a beneficial noun.
Practice: Provide students several phrases that use possessive pronouns, both which have nouns and you will instead of, but exclude the fresh new pronouns about sentence. Possess children manage someone to determine and this pronoun precisely finishes for each sentence.
Long Pronouns
Long pronouns don’t relate to a specific person otherwise situation. They are utilised generally speaking comments or whenever a particular noun is not known. Most indefinite pronouns is actually only one (individuals, everybody, someone, neither, some one, one thing, an such like.) although some try plural (both, partners, of numerous, multiple, etc.). Certain indefinite pronouns can be both just one otherwise plural (every, people, very, none, and many).
A typical area of distress getting ESL pupils try within accessibility exactly who and you may just who, each of that are indefinite pronouns. Who’s a subject pronoun. It’s used because subject of a sentence. Just who is actually an object pronoun, and it is made use of given that object from a good verb or an effective preposition. The aid of whom and you will whom are old-fashioned grammar. However, because languages manage, English try experience a change from the access to whom and you may which. Just who may be changed because of the just who within the informal creating plus in verbal vocabulary. Local sound system fundamentally just use who into the official composing and sometimes not after that. You’ll have to ensure that your students understand the improvement between exactly who and you can which and therefore are able to utilize her or him grammatically. Anybody who and you may whoever follow the exact same trend. Anybody who is actually a subject pronoun. Anyone who was an object pronoun. Native English audio system tend to have fun with whoever except from inside the really specialized composing.
Demonstrative Pronouns
A different preferred pronouns is demonstrative pronouns. So it, you to definitely, these, and those was demonstrative pronouns for the English. Be sure your students do not confuse demonstrative pronouns having demonstrative adjectives (plus that it, you to definitely, these, and the ones). Demonstrative pronouns replace good noun. That is enjoyable. If you’re demonstrative adjectives are accustomed to personalize nouns. This video game try enjoyable.
This really is fundamentally familiar with refer to an individual object that try around the presenter. That’s essentially used to reference one target one to was farther away from the audio speaker. On the other hand, this type of may be used to make reference to several things which can be nearby the speaker. The individuals may be regularly refer to numerous things which can be further out of the presenter.
Practice: Having fun with a simple half dozen-sided die, in a choice of teams otherwise overall group, provides college students roll several. Children should generate a sentence truthfully dealing with things from the class room using the demonstrative pronoun they rolling. 1: it, 2: you to, 3: these, 4: people, 5: rollers possibilities, 6: use a few demonstrative pronouns of your preference in one sentence.
Reflexive Pronouns
English has numerous reflexive pronouns, and also as the term suggests, they send returning to nouns otherwise pronouns made use of earlier when you look at the a great sentence. English reflexive pronouns lead to notice otherwise selves.
Interrogative Pronouns
Interrogative pronouns are the ones pronouns which can be accustomed inquire an excellent question: whom, whoever, just who, and therefore, and you can exactly what. You can find a fast summary of interrogative pronouns here.
Pronouns is a fundamental element of the latest English words. If you take committed to teach and you can feedback different types of pronouns included in English, your pupils might be bound to work with. | http://www.theasian.asia/archives/152514 | 2022-08-07T03:18:41Z | http://www.theasian.asia/archives/152514 | true | 1 |
The Atlanta FaZe stopped the Seattle Surge’s reign of terror today with a 3-1 victory in the losers bracket finals of the 2022 Call of Duty League Playoffs to make their third consecutive CoD Champs grand final.
Since Call of Duty moved to a franchised league, the Atlanta FaZe have made a grand finals appearance at Champs every year. In Modern Warfare, the team came up short against the Dallas Empire, but they redeemed themselves a year later against the Toronto Ultra to take home a world title for the organization. Once again, the Atlanta FaZe will be contesting for another ring tomorrow with the potential of winning back-to-back championships.

Seattle came into the losers bracket final hot after their 3-1 win against OpTic Texas. Bocage Hardpoint was one sided in favor of Seattle, who were constantly winning gunfights and rotations around the map. Accuracy held his own against the season MVP Cellium to help Seattle pick up the 250-150 win with a 1.52 KD and over 3,300 damage.
But FaZe bounced back from their uncharacteristic loss to the Surge on Bocage during the Tuscan Search and Destroy. Atlanta were in the driver’s seat of map two the entire time. Seattle only earned one round throughout the map, losing 6-1 and getting the breaks put on their momentum.
It looked like the Tuscan Control was going to go the way of the Surge as they gained a 2-0 advantage early, but Seattle failed to secure a third and final round. Multiple mistakes from Seattle allowed Atlanta to crawl their way back and reverse sweep the Control to take the lead in the series. One map away from yet another CoD Champs grand final and with the momentum now in their favor, FaZe felt strong on Tuscan Hardpoint, shutting down Accuracy and Pred to decisively win 250-190. The third Tuscan in particular was where Cellium posted an MVP-caliber performance, dropping 32 kills with a 2.0 KD.
FaZe will now face off against the Los Angeles Thieves, who beat them earlier today, in the grand finals of CoD Champs 2022 tomorrow at 2pm CT. | https://dotesports.com/call-of-duty/news/atlanta-faze-qualify-third-consecutive-cdl-championship-grand-final | 2022-08-07T03:30:40Z | https://dotesports.com/call-of-duty/news/atlanta-faze-qualify-third-consecutive-cdl-championship-grand-final | false | 1 |

Diabetes: A step closer to a life without insulin
People with a severe form of diabetes, where the beta cells of the pancreas do not produce or no longer produce enough insulin, have no choice but to inject themselves regularly with artificial insulin in order to survive. But Insulin therapy is not without its dangers: it is difficult to dose and, in the long term, it can also lead to serious metabolic and cardiovascular problems. Scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have been working for several years on an alternative therapy based on the S100A9 protein. They have now provided proof of principle that this protein can significantly improve metabolism in insulin deficiency. In addition, by deciphering the biological mechanisms at work, they have discovered a previously unknown anti-inflammatory effect that could prove key well beyond diabetes. These results are published in the journal Nature Communications.

Obstructive sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypertensive microvascular disease: a cross-sectional observational cohort study
Hypertensive microvascular disease is associated with an increased risk of diastolic heart failure, vascular dementia and progressive renal impairment. This study examined whether individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) had more retinal hypertensive microvascular disease than those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hospital controls. This was a single-centre, cross-sectional, observational study of participants recruited consecutively from a general respiratory clinic and a general medical clinic. OSA was diagnosed on overnight polysomnography study (apnoea:hypopnoea index ≥"‰5), and controls with COPD had a forced expiratory volume/forced vital capacity (forced expiratory ratio) <"‰70%. Individuals with both OSA and COPD were excluded. Hospital controls had no COPD on respiratory function testing and no OSA on specialist physician questioning. Study participants completed a medical questionnaire, and underwent resting BP measurement, and retinal photography with a non-mydriatic camera. Images were deidentified and graded for microvascular retinopathy (Wong and Mitchell classification), and arteriole and venular calibre using a semiautomated method at a grading centre. Individuals with OSA (n"‰="‰79) demonstrated a trend to a higher mean arterial pressure than other hospital patients (n"‰="‰143) (89.2"‰Â±"‰8.9 mmHg, p"‰="‰0.02), and more microvascular retinopathy (p"‰<"‰0.001), and narrower retinal arterioles (134.2"‰Â±"‰15.9 μm and 148.0"‰Â±"‰16.2 μm respectively, p"‰<"‰0.01). Microvascular retinopathy and arteriolar narrowing were still more common in OSA than hospital controls, after adjusting for age, BMI, mean arterial pressure, smoking history and dyslipidaemia (p"‰<"‰0.01, p"‰<"‰0.01, respectively). Individuals with OSA demonstrated a trend to a higher mean arterial pressure than those with COPD (n"‰="‰132, 93.2"‰Â±"‰12.2 mmHg and 89.7"‰Â±"‰12.8 mmHg respectively, p"‰="‰0.07), and more microvascular retinopathy (p"‰="‰0.0001) and narrower arterioles (134.2"‰Â±"‰15.9 and 152.3"‰Â±"‰16.8, p"‰<"‰0.01). Individuals with OSA alone had more systemic microvascular disease than those with COPD alone or other hospital patients without OSA and COPD, despite being younger in age.

Minimal residual disease in BCR::ABL1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia: different significance in typical ALL and in CML-like disease
Recently, we defined "CML-like" subtype of BCR::ABL1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), resembling lymphoid blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Here we retrospectively analyzed prognostic relevance of minimal residual disease (MRD)Â and other features in 147 children with BCR::ABL1-positive ALL (diagnosed I/2000"“IV/2021, treated according to EsPhALL (n"‰="‰133) or other (n"‰="‰14) protocols), using DNA-based monitoring of BCR::ABL1 genomic breakpoint and clonal immunoglobulin/T-cell receptor gene rearrangements. Although overall prognosis of CML-like (n"‰="‰48) and typical ALL (n"‰="‰99) was similar (5-year-EFS 60% and 49%, respectively; 5-year-OS 75% and 73%, respectively), typical ALL presented more relapses while CML-like patients more often died in the first remission. Prognostic role of MRD was significant in the typical ALL (p"‰="‰0.0005 in multivariate analysis for EFS). In contrast, in CML-like patients MRD was not significant (p values"‰>"‰0.2) and inapplicable for therapy adjustment. Moreover, in the typical ALL, risk-prediction could be further improved by considering initial hyperleukocytosis. Early distinguishing typical BCR::ABL1-positive ALL and CML-like patients is essential to enable optimal treatment approach in upcoming protocols. For the typical ALL, tyrosine-kinase inhibitors and concurrent chemotherapy with risk-directed intensity should be recommended; in the CML-like disease, no relevant prognostic feature applicable for therapy tailoring was found so far.

Epstein"“Barr virus and multiple sclerosis
Epstein"“Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human lymphotropic herpesvirus with a well-established causal role in several cancers. Recent studies have provided compelling epidemiological and mechanistic evidence for a causal role of EBV in multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is the most prevalent chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system and is thought to be triggered in genetically predisposed individuals by an infectious agent, with EBV as the lead candidate. How a ubiquitous virus that typically leads to benign latent infections can promote cancer and autoimmune disease in at-risk populations is not fully understood. Here we review the evidence that EBV is a causal agent for MS and how various risk factors may affect EBV infection and immune control. We focus on EBV contributing to MS through reprogramming of latently infected B lymphocytes and the chronic presentation of viral antigens as a potential source of autoreactivity through molecular mimicry. We consider how knowledge of EBV-associated cancers may be instructive for understanding the role of EBV in MS and discuss the potential for therapies that target EBV to treat MS.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were spotted at Mumbai airport in the wee hours of Sunday. The couple, who is expecting their first baby together, has reportedly jetted off to an undisclosed location for a holiday.
Alia looked chic in a white baggie hoodie which she teamed with black comfy pants and white sneakers. She completed her look with a stylish sling bag and kept her hair tied in a ponytail. Ranbir, too, kept it casual as he wore a black track suit. The couple was all smile as they got down from their car and even greeted the paparazzi. As soon as the video of them arriving at the airport emerged on social media, netizens started speculating if the couple was heading to their babymoon.
On Saturday, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were spotted at the preview launch of their song Deva Deva from their upcoming film Brahmastra. It was an informal meet and greet with the media. The song will be out on August 8.
During their public appearance, both Alia and Ranbir arrived in style. The 29-year-old actress was seen dressed in a brown dress. Alia’s baby bump was also visible in the dress, which she complemented with a pair of heels. She kept her hair open and opted for a simple make-up look. Meanwhile, Ranbir was seen dressed in all-black attire comprising a black t-shirt and a pair of black pants with matching shoes. The actor wore a pair of sunglasses.
The new song, Deva Deva, is an ode to Lord Shiva. Talking about the song, director Ayan Mukerji wrote on Instagram- “Deva Deva – was the first song to be composed for Brahmāstra, capturing right away the Soul of Shiva’s Journey in the movie ! It has given me so much Energy and Joy over the time it has been with us… And I’m really looking forward to finally sharing the feeling of this Song with everyone – on August 8th !”

A former doctor has told of his mind-altering experience with controversial electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT, which he says affected his memory and forced him into early retirement. The senior medic – who asked to be named only as Peter, for fear of upsetting his relatives with the full details of his ordeal – worked in Bristol for almost three decades.
Bristol’s Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP) was recently revealed to be England’s most frequent user of ECT, carrying out the procedure 47 times more than their counterparts in Merseyside – the least frequent user. The century-old practice of applying an electrical current to the brain to treat schizophrenia, depression, catatonia and other conditions is still performed by the NHS, but has recently come under scrutiny.
The process induces an epileptic fit in the patient, though campaigners say how this reduces the symptoms of mental disorders is poorly understood. ECT also comes with widely acknowledged, severe side effects including long-term memory loss and cognitive impairment – and Peter says he experienced both during his treatment and ever since.

He sought help from a psychiatrist after several traumatic events in quick succession. “I was suddenly faced with an awful tsunami of problems,” said Peter, “and I couldn’t manage to deal with them.
“There was a death in the family, a huge financial crisis, health concerns for my wife and I, a threat to my income and many other things, all at once. It was all so unexpected and sudden that I wondered whether I could possibly have anxiety or depression.”
Peter said after a one-hour consultation the psychiatrist deemed him fit and well, advising that he was just overwhelmed by a run of bad luck and anyone would react the same way. But he was still struggling, and his relatives encouraged him to seek a second opinion.
“At first I was reluctant to see another psychiatrist, but agreed to go to reassure my wife and family,” he said. “So, on the advice of a colleague, I saw a second psychiatrist who had a reputation for helping senior doctors.”
The second professional diagnosed Peter with depression and recommended a course of antidepressant drugs. Peter was reluctant to go on medication but agreed to try for his family’s sake.
“I started on a tablet and thus was labelled as having a ‘mental problem’,” he said. “The medication made me feel awful and sedated, and I was told to try an alternative. This was just as bad – which was the last thing I needed, with so much I had to do.”
Peter says he was put on several medications, none of which seemed to help his situation. He was thus labelled a “non-responder” and admitted to hospital for further assessment. There, in 2017, he was recommended for a course of ECT.
“I had previously told the ECT consultant that under no circumstances would I agree to it,” Peter said. “But I was deemed to have no insight into my condition and no capacity to decide on its management. This was very insulting, after 25 years as a senior doctor. But my family and even my GP didn’t have the experience to argue with them.”
Guidelines for doctors issued by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend that ECT should only be carried out with the full and informed consent of the patient “where the individual has the ability to grant or refuse consent”. But they do leave room for treatment against the patient’s wishes “where informed discussion and consent is not possible”, such as when two doctors agree that the patient is too impaired by their condition to know what is best for them.
Peter recalled being seen by a second hospital psychiatrist, who backed up the assessment of the first. With two experts agreeing on the necessary treatment – and agreeing that Peter passed the threshold for treatment by force – he was scheduled to begin ECT.
“If you disagree, they say you don’t have insight or capacity and can inflict anything on you that you object to,” said Peter. “In the past it was lobotomy, insulin-induced convulsions and all sorts of dreadful things.
“But what’s remained is ECT, for which there’s no scientific evidence whatsoever. It’s used as a last resort to destroy your cognitive function, so you basically become moronic and no longer a problem.”
He added: “I had no way to escape. I eventually had 30 episodes of ECT, in two phases of 15 at a time, and it destroyed me. A huge swathe of my memory was lost, and my cognitive function severely impaired.”
No longer able to do his job, the experienced doctor says he was forced into early retirement. “I was expecting to work another ten years,” he said, “but I’ve had to retire early because of the effects of psychiatric treatment.”
Alongside experts at the Critical Psychiatry Network, he is calling for the practice of ECT in England to be stopped, or at least subject to much stricter controls than the NICE guidelines. “The idea of giving people epileptic fits to treat them is just ridiculous – most neurologists have spent their careers trying to stop people from having epileptic fits," the medic added.
“Psychiatrists put forward only anecdotal evidence, which means nothing really – it’s just hearsay, not science. It’s almost as bad as a lobotomy, and they can give it without your consent.”
Peter pointed out that treatment by force does not take place in any other medical discipline. “The old Hippocratic oath says primum non nocere , which means first do no harm,” he said.
“If I recommended a treatment and the patient said no, that was up to them. It’s only in psychiatry that they have the power to lock people up and subject them to these treatments. It’s barbaric and against all normal medical practice.”
AWP medical director Sarah Constantine defended the trust’s use of ECT as “a highly effective procedure, particularly for people with treatment-resistant depression and severe bipolar disorder”. She added that ECT was “sometimes lifesaving”, but admitted that it came with “some risks” which are “carefully balanced with the consequences of not providing the treatment” before its use is approved.
A spokesman for the Royal College of Psychiatry, which accredits NHS trusts to carry out the procedure, said ECT was used only when a patient’s condition was “life threatening, or when their depression has not responded to other approaches”.
Mental health charity Mind reports that “some people find ECT helpful while others don’t,” adding that “it’s very difficult to know how ECT works, or how effective it is. Many different theories have been suggested, but research hasn’t shown exactly what effects it has or how these might help with mental health problems,” the charity’s website adds.

Apart from N41tn Public Debt, FG Owes CBN $47bn, Report Reveals
*Bill Gates-backed think-tank seeks $50bn for Africa’s loan scheme
Emmanuel Addeh in Abuja
The federal government has confirmed that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is being owed N20 trillion ($47 billion), which is yet to be added to the country’s outstanding public debt, according to a report by the Budget Office of the Federation.
This is coming as a think-tank backed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is seeking $50 billion in aid to help debt-ridden African countries re-enter capital markets and avoid future defaults.
The debt figure was as of March 31, the Budget Office said, in a document, which gave the details of the country’s expenditure plans from 2023-2025.
The document was posted on the Budget Office’s website at the weekend.
Nigeria’s outstanding public debt is N41.6 trillion.
Even with the additional obligations, the country remains “within Nigeria’s self-imposed” limit of 40 per cent debt to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), according to the report quoted by Bloomberg.
The government plans to securitise its Ways and Means Advances (WMAs) from the CBN and revamp “it into a longer tenor amortising facility with a lower interest rate,” according to the Budget Office.
The country barely earned enough revenues to cover debt service payments in 2021, according to the budget office while in the first four months to April, government income of N1.63 trillion was less than the N1.94 trillion needed to cover debt-service payments, Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed said, according to a presentation on the budget office’s website.
While the debt portfolio remains vulnerable to revenue and export shocks, “the challenges are being addressed by the government through its ongoing strategic revenue growth initiatives,” the report added.
Meanwhile, a think-tank backed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is seeking $50 billion in aid to help debt-ridden African countries re-enter capital markets and avoid future defaults.
The amount is an “average estimate,” said the President of the Paris-based Finance for Development Lab, which was launched last month, Daniel Cohen.
Cohen, who is also President of the Paris School of Economics, said the money would be used to “enhance” credit quality by providing guarantees and helping African commodity exporters and importers hedge against price volatility.
Some African countries, which hit capital markets as global interest rates plunged to a record low, are on the verge of default due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Bloomberg reported.
Sovereign dollar bonds from African countries trade on average at 1,007 basis points above the US Treasury yield, meeting the widely accepted definition of a debt crisis.
The laboratory, which develops the proposals and wants an established body to hold the facility, includes representatives from the Steering Committee of the United Nations Economic Committee for Africa and think tanks from Santiago and Accra to New Delhi. World Trade Organisation (WTO) Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iwela attended its launch, the report said.
The Gates Foundation provided $2.6 million in September 2021 to start the project, the Bloomberg report recalled.
“Last year, we interacted with passionate thinkers from the Paris School of Economics who brought new ideas and energy to the funding debate – from Francophone Africa to the Paris Club to the private sector,” the foundation said in a response to questions.
“We jointly thought of a new organisation with the vision of creating an engaged community of think tanks and research centres that could help provide innovative, yet practical and evidence-based proposals meeting today’s financial challenges,” it added.
Cohen said he had begun talking to politicians, including French leaders, about contributions to the fund, noting that the contribution could come in the form of International Monetary Fund (IMF) special drawing rights.
The lab is proposing rolling interest-payment guarantees and loan-restructuring and facilitation facilities to provide cash “sweet” to creditors to cut the length and cost of restructuring negotiations, a document said.
Cohen said such a mechanism is necessary to help countries re-enter the market.
“Either they are locked out of the market or they can re-enter, provided they are enhanced by some sort of guarantee. Such a mechanism would be needed to restore access to the market. There will be a lot of restructuring in the coming years. Some cash can be a big advantage,” Cohen stressed.
The alternative is that countries locked out of capital markets will have to rely on grants and multilateral development banks for their financial needs, he explained.
The lab is also offering protection against commodity volatility by guaranteeing margin call payments triggered by rising prices, explaining that the laboratories also plan to develop relationships with Chinese academics as many African countries are indebted to China.
“We are thinking of a parallel group of Chinese scholars thinking about the role of China’s main creditor in Africa,” he said. | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/08/07/apart-from-n41tn-public-debt-fg-owes-cbn-47bn-report-reveals/ | 2022-08-07T04:18:55Z | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/08/07/apart-from-n41tn-public-debt-fg-owes-cbn-47bn-report-reveals/ | true | 1 |

Nick Kyrgios is “super excited” after continuing his career-best season by powering into the final of the Citi Open in Washington.
Backing up from his gruelling workload a day earlier, when he finished off Reilly Opelka then saved five match points in an epic quarter-final win over Frances Tiafoe, Kyrgios dealt with Michael Ymer in straight sets on Sunday (AEST).
Kyrgios produced another imperious serving display to beat Ymer 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 in what was the Wimbledon runner-up’s fifth semi-final appearance from his past six events.
Only an abdominal strain in Mallorca tarnished the impressive streak.
Yet to be broken all week in the American capital, Kyrgios didn’t face a solitary break point against Ymer.
He brought up set point in the opener with his 80th ace of the tournament and sealed the set with a lovely serve-volley play and backhand flick overhead winner.
The second set also proved a serving duel, but the Swede was always going to come out second best against Kyrgios in that type of mood as the Australian reeled off the last three games to prevail in one hour, 34 minutes.
Kyrgios hadn’t made a final for three years but now he’s reached two in less than a month, including his breakout run to his maiden grand slam title match at Wimbledon.
That four-set defeat to Djokovic at the All England Club remains the 27-year-old’s only loss in his past 11 matches since mid-June.
“I’m just happy to be in another final,” Kyrgios said.
“I didn’t get to sleep until 4.50am. I had so much adrenalin. I ate some dinner, got some treatment and just my body was so sore after last night.
“It was an epic battle [against Tiafoe]. I didn’t really do much today and I felt like my energy was a little flat today early on.
“It’s understandable – I’m only human – but my adrenalin for the final is going to be right there. I’m super excited for it.”
Had the ATP not stripped Wimbledon of rankings points in objection to the All England Club’s banning of Russian and Belarusian players because of the invasion of Ukraine, Kyrgios would have regained his place in the world’s top 15.
Instead he remains at No.63 and continues to make a mockery of the men’s rankings, which ridiculously also have Djokovic at world No.6, the Serbian superstar’s lowest position in 15 years.
Kyrgios’ run in Washington guarantees the 27-year-old a rise to at least No.42 in the world and he’s projected to climb to 37th if he lands a seventh pro title.
With big events coming up in Montreal and Cincinnati, Kyrgios is on track to secure an all-important seeding for the US Open starting on August 29 in New York.
The most recent of his six ATP titles came in Washington in 2019 and he’ll play either Russian top seed Andrey Rublev or Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka in his 11th career final, hoping to snare another.

Police shoot, arrest 4 gunmen who opened fire at party
NEW YORK (WCBS) - Plainclothes New York detectives got into a gunfight outside a party in the Queens borough. Four suspects, including two teens, were wounded in the exchange.
Shots rang out late Friday night in a quiet Queens community, where New York City Police Department officers were trying to prevent gun violence. Police say members of the Violent Crime Squad learned a party had the potential to grow violent because of local street crews.
Witnesses say the party was mostly for teenagers and may have been held as a sendoff for someone heading to college.
Plainclothes detectives were parked in an unmarked car near the party around 11:30 p.m. when they saw a group of men approach the intersection and pull out guns.
“There was about 75 to 100 people at this party, and now, you have a group of males firing into this group, into this group of people who were partying,” said NYPD Chief of Patrol Jeff Maddrey.
Police say that detectives, realizing danger was imminent, exchanged gunfire with the suspects, injuring and then arresting four of them. The suspects’ ages were 16, 17, 18 and 24. At least two have a criminal history.
Police recovered three guns and say the shooting illustrates “how gun violence continues to beleaguer our communities.”
“Again, I implore members of our community that it’s so important to work together with your police, so we can put it an end to this gun violence,” Maddrey said.
He encouraged the public to call for help when situations look ripe for violence.
None of the NYPD officers involved in the incident were injured. They will be given administrative duties while the officer-involved shooting is investigated.

NEW YORK (AP) — Max Scherzer tied a season high with 11 strikeouts over seven innings and the New York Mets beat the sloppy Atlanta Braves 6-2 Saturday night to complete a doubleheader sweep.
Francisco Lindor had three hits and three RBIs as New York took the opener 8-5, and the Mets stretched their NL East lead to 5 1/2 games.
Mets fans taunted the second-place Braves in the ninth inning of Game 2 by performing the tomahawk chop, a tradition at games in Atlanta despite complaints from some Native American groups that the chant is degrading.
“I’m not going to tell you I didn’t notice it,” New York manager Buck Showalter said. “Of course I did. We all have our personal opinions on stuff like that.”
Pete Alonso had three singles, including one with the bases loaded to match Yankees star Aaron Judge for the major league lead with 93 RBIs. The Mets swept their second doubleheader against Atlanta this season and opened their biggest division lead since June 21. They are 11-3 in seven twinbills this year, including four sweeps.
“Total team wins in both games,” Scherzer said after earning his 198th career win. “We’re just playing great baseball right now.”
Lindor reached twice in the late game and scored on shortstop Dansby Swanson’s throwing error as Max Fried (10-4) was nearly injured on the play.
New York (69-39) is 30 games over .500 for the first time since finishing 97-65 in 2006.
Scherzer (8-2) allowed four hits, including two doubles to Travis d’Arnaud. The three-time Cy Young Award winner produced his fourth scoreless outing this season and third since returning from an oblique injury July 5.
“He’s a great concentrator and he treats every hitter in the same lineup with the same respect,” Showalter said. “And he’s got a plan. It might not always be perfect, but when he’s got command of his pitches and he can execute — and he’s a student of the game.”
Scherzer retired his final nine hitters and ended the seventh with a flourish. He struck out the side on 15 pitches, getting Eddie Rosario to whiff at a cutter before pinch-hitter William Contreras and Marcell Ozuna swung through sliders.
“They’re a great team, great lineup,” Scherzer said. “For us to show up and bring the energy and go out there and beat them, that’s great. It’s great to get these wins, but it’s not over yet. We know how good they can play, and they can get hot.”
The strikeout of Ozuna pulled Scherzer into a tie for 14th on the career list with former Detroit Tigers teammate Justin Verlander at 3,140.
“He’s one of the best pitchers in baseball,” Fried said. “Has been for a long time.”
Scherzer recorded his 109th career double-digit strikeout game and fifth this year. He did not issue a walk for the fourth time this season.
“His consistency is unbelievable,” Alonso said.
New York has won three of four in the five-game showdown and is 13-0-2 in series against NL East rivals this season.
Ronald Acuña Jr hit an RBI single off Mychal Givens in the eighth and Contreras homered in the ninth, but Atlanta dropped to 4-7 in the season series against the Mets and committed three errors.
Swanson made two errors and third baseman Austin Riley had a throwing error in the sixth on a soft grounder by Darin Ruf.
Fried allowed four runs (two earned) and six hits over six innings in his 100th major league start. He also was shaken up after a hard fall during New York’s three-run third.
After Alonso hit a bloop single, Ruf hit a grounder to first baseman Matt Olson, who got the force at second. Swanson’s return throw bounced and caromed off Fried’s chest at first and went into foul territory.
Fried slipped and fell face-first, and his pitching shoulder and head hit the ground hard as he attempted to get Lindor at home. The left-hander remained in the game.
“Just kind of fell and kind of just whipped my neck and hit my head,” Fried said.
New York scored three in the third and then capitalized on Riley’s error in the sixth. Riley’s throw went past Olson on Ruf’s soft infield single, moving Alonso to third.
The slugger broke for home when Mark Canha hit a chopper to Riley down the line. He made a high throw and Alonso was initially called out by plate umpire Manny Gonzalez on an acrobatic tag by d’Arnaud. But replays showed Alonso’s foot grazed the plate before d’Arnaud could apply the tag, and the call was overturned.
After Givens allowed Acuña’s RBI single in the eighth, pinch-hitter Tyler Naquin hit an RBI single and scored on a suicide squeeze by Tomás Nido.
SHOWALTER’S MILESTONE
Showalter got his 1,620th win in the nightcap to move past Ralph Houk into 20th place on the career list. Houk managed the Yankees, Tigers and Red Sox and went 1,619-1,531 in a career that began in 1961 and lasted through 1984.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Braves: D’Arnaud was lifted in the seventh after a trainer checked him during the replay challenge following his collision with Alonso in the sixth. After the game, X-rays on d’Arnaud’s lower right leg were negative
UP NEXT
Atlanta rookie RHP Spencer Strider (5-3, 2.91 ERA) opposes New York RHP Jacob deGrom (0-0, 1.80) on Sunday in the finale of the five-game series. DeGrom makes his 200th career start and first at home since July 7, 2021.

No education, rarely stepped out of house: Afghan Sikh woman recounts life under Taliban rule
- Country:
- India
Manpreet Kaur, a mother of two, rarely stepped out of her house in Kabul following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan last year and her children hardly had any idea of the world outside.
Their grim existence for nearly a year changed on August 3, when they arrived in India as part of a group of 28 Afghan Sikhs who were flown in from Kabul with the help of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the Indian World Forum and the central government.
Recounting her ordeal of living under the Taliban rule, Kaur said, ''Being a minority, there was a constant fear of being targeted. The Sikh and Hindu families in Kabul have been spending sleepless nights. The places of worship are not safe. The Gurdwara Karta-E-Parwan was attacked by terrorists on June 18.'' ''We used to think 10 times before stepping out of our houses. For our children, going out was out of the question. If we had to step out, we covered our faces,'' she said.
She claimed that most of the minorities in Afghanistan have no access to education as sending children to schools means ''risking their lives''.
''If a child goes to an educational institute, they will be harassed there. Those who want to study mostly come to India,'' Kaur said.
Taranjit Singh, another Afghan Sikh who arrived in India on August 3, has a three-year-old son suffering from a heart ailment. He said due to minimum access to hospitals, his son could not get proper treatment in Kabul.
''We are hoping to get him treated here in India,'' Singh told PTI.
Activist Kavita Krishnan said the Centre should have a policy of offering citizenship to such refugees in India and providing them work.
''Our country is more than capable of just offering citizenship to these refugees. Not just the Afghan Sikhs and Hindus but all refugees should be offered this help by the government.
''The Centre does not arrange facilities for refugees. Even when they were compelled to do so for the Tamil refugees, their camps were extremely ill-equipped. If the Centre treated the refugees with respect and compassion, it could easily provide work for them,'' Krishnan told PTI.
She alleged that refugees are only ''talking points'' and ''propaganda'' for the Centre.
''The Centre should understand that the refugees, with whatever work they do here, are contributing to the GDP of this country,'' Krishnan said.

Starts on Monday (8) the national vaccination campaign focused on preventing poliomyelitis. Vaccination coverage rates have been falling in recent years.
Débora, 2 years old, received the polio vaccine in her mother’s lap. Her mother knows the importance of keeping the vaccine up to date. “It is very important for parents to be aware, because of course there are other diseases that are serious as well. So, yes, vaccination is necessary. And we, as parents, must be careful”, says the mother.
Polio vaccine is given at 2, 4, and 6 months with injectable doses. The campaign will have these doses and the booster, in drops, and will be for all children from 1 to 4 years old who have already taken the first three injectable doses.
Last year, less than 70% of the target audience was vaccinated. This year, not even half of the children who need to take the first dose of the vaccine went to health centers..
Polio is eradicated in Brazil, which has not recorded cases for over 30 years. But she came back in countries like Israel and Mozambique.
The Pan American Health Organization warns of the importance of vaccination coverage exceeding 95%. Otherwise, polio may recur.
The target group is the more than 14 million children under 5 years of age. The campaign runs from Monday, August 8th to September 9th.
In addition to the polio vaccine, the approximately 40,000 posts across the country will apply all the vaccines that are part of the calendar for children and adolescents under 15 years of age, including Covid.
So that everyone has a vaccination book, like Sofia’s. All vaccines up to date. “I think it’s important for us to take these vaccines for our health. I’ve been taking them since I was a little baby”, says Sofia. Her mother, Patricia, says that she is always present in the campaigns. “We participated in all of them. Now she is 11, it has decreased a lot, but all the campaigns that had us participated”, says the mother.
Eliana Bicudo, from the Brazilian Society of Infectious Diseases calls parents:
“We know that the polio virus circulates in the world and, when it circulates in the world, in a leap – we saw it with Covid-19, we are seeing it with monkeypox – it is the arrival of this virus again to circulate in Brazil, if not is already circulating. We have children, therefore, susceptible to developing this serious disease. It is the parents who would have to realize that they cannot subject their children to the risk of developing a disease that can have sequelae for life”, he explains. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/07/national-campaign-against-polio-starts-on-monday-8-national-journal/ | 2022-08-07T05:00:09Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/07/national-campaign-against-polio-starts-on-monday-8-national-journal/ | false | 1 |
Sabrina Ionescu Becomes First WNBA Player to Record 500/200/200 Season
Sabrina Ionescu etched her breakout third season atop the WNBA record books Saturday during the Liberty’s road game against the Mercury.
After logging an assist within 30 seconds of tip-off, Ionescu, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 draft, became the first player in WNBA history to record at least 500 points, 200 rebounds and 200 assists in a single season. The 24-year-old star’s historic dime came on a wide open Crystal Dangerfield three to give New York an early 3–2 lead.
The Liberty would eventually fall to the Mercury, 76–62, to slide to 13–19 on the season.
Although the 2022 campaign has been trying for New York as a whole, Ionescu has flourished in a fashion reminiscent of her legendary collegiate career at Oregon. With career-best averages of 17.5 PPG, 7.1 RPG and 6.4 APG, the 5'11" guard entered Saturday as the only player in the league in the top 15 in all three categories.
SI Recommends
Ionescu has showcased her well-rounded skill set all season long en route to earning her first All-Star nod. She recorded 19 points, six boards and six assists as a starter alongside captain A’ja Wilson in Team Wilson’s 134–112 win over Team Stewart. She ended the month of July by becoming the fourth WNBA player to record 16 assists, setting a Liberty franchise record in the process.
Earlier in the month, Ionescu recorded the highest-scoring triple-double in league history with a 31-point, 13-rebound, 10-assist effort in the Liberty’s win over Wilson and the Aces. The performance also tied Ionescu with Candace Parker’s league record of three triple-doubles; she has record two triple-doubles this season after logging the first in Liberty history, then the league’s 10th, during the ’21 season.
Ionescu’s standout season serves as a proper launching point for the former AP Player of the Year following a frustrating start to her WNBA career. She was limited to three games her rookie year due to a left ankle injury, and struggled in her return last season, averaging 11.7 PPG on .375/.329/.911 splits in 30 games played.

MICHELE NORRIS, host:
Willie Nelson is 74 years old. Fellow country music legend Ray Price is 81. Merle Haggard is a mere 70. The three of them have gotten together and collaborated on a new double-CD called the "Last of the Breed."
And our music critic, Robert Christgau, thinks it's pretty fresh.
(Soundbite of music)
ROBERT CHRISTGAU: Even with Johnny Cash in the grave, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ray Price aren't the last of their breed. There are plenty of old coots targeting the downloading impaired with new country albums. But none of these albums approached the savvy or spirit of this session.
(Soundbite of song, "My Mary")
Mr. MERLE HAGGARD (Country Musician): (Singing) Scrolling down on memory lane.
CHRISTGAU: Sometimes our three legends are domesticated as on the two Bob Wills' oldies that opened the set. Here's how Merle Haggard establishes the theme on "My Mary."
(Soundbite of song, "My Mary")
Mr. HAGGARD: (Singing) I can always see my sweetheart just as she used to be. Waiting for someone at the garden gate. I know that someone is me. Big brown eyes and pearly hair and you'd tell that's Mary.
CHRISTGAU: A neglected song of romantic devotion brought back to life. Other times though, the three buddies are honky-tonk rounders. Listen to Nelson and Price on a Hank Williams song their label is named after - "Lost Highway."
(Soundbite of song, "Lost Highway")
Mr. WILLIE NELSON (Country Musician): (Singing) Just another guy on the lost highway.
Mr. RAY PRICE (Country Musician): (Singing) Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine. And a woman's lies makes a life like mine. O the day we met, I went astray. I started rolling down…
Unidentified Group #1: (Singing) Rolling down…
Mr. PRICE and Unidentified Group #1: (Singing) …that lost highway.
CHRISTGAU: The album's savvy is a given. Willie and Merle are still sound physically but they proved long ago they could phrase with a subtly seldom approached this side of Al Green. Ray Price hasn't had his big booming chops for decades, even though he still tours with a string section. He's less prominent here.
(Soundbite of song, "Why Me")
Mr. PRICE: (Singing) What have I ever done…
CHRISTGAU: And when he does sing, he picks up on the younger guys casual example. But the secret of the session's spirit is more elusive. It's not just old timers having a good time as they trade leads and harmonize. They sound serious as well. They sound committed.
(Soundbite of song, "Why Me")
Mr. PRICE: (Singing) Tell me Lord what did I ever do that was worth loving you or the kindness you've shown.
Mr. PRICE and Unidentified Group #2: (Singing) Lord help me Jesus I've wasted…
CHRISTGAU: The two religious songs here define a tone of solemnity without sanctimony. The seniors come across us as believers who can feel the end approaching. But the pair of songs in which these three old guys praised parents we assumed have been gone a long time are just as rich and uncompromised. I love how plainly Willie Nelson delivers the key verse of Lefty Frizzel's "Mom and Dad's Waltz" - I'd fight in wars. Do all the chores for my mama and daddy. I want them to live on till they're called.
(Soundbite of music)
CHRISTGAU: And even that one is topped by a Gene Autry song that sums up the tenderness and the frailties that suffices this record.
(Soundbite of music)
NORRIS: The album from Willie Nelson, Ray Price and Merle Haggard is called "Last of the Breed." Our reviewer Robert Christgau is a contributing editor to Rolling Stone magazine.
(Soundbite of song, "That Silver Haired Daddy of Time")
Mr. NELSON: (Singing) Fighting the battle of time. Is a dear one who's weathered my sorrows, tis that silver-haired daddy of mine.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — José Barrero hit his first two major league home runs and the Cincinnati Reds beat Milwaukee 7-5 on Saturday night, dropping the Brewers into second place in the NL Central.
Joey Votto and Donovan Solano each had a solo homer for the Reds, who hadn’t scored more than three runs since an 8-2 win July 30 over Baltimore.
Milwaukee fell a game behind the St. Louis Cardinals, who blanked the New York Yankees 1-0 for their sixth consecutive victory.
With the Reds leading 2-0 in the fourth inning, Barrero launched a two-run homer into the Brewers' bullpen off starter Aaron Ashby (2-10).
The third-year shortstop added a solo shot into the same bullpen in the sixth off reliever Hoby Milner, extending Cincinnati's lead to 5-3.
“When you're right and you feel comfortable, it really doesn't matter who the pitcher is sometimes, and I felt like he was that locked in tonight,” Reds manager David Bell said.
The homers came in the 125th and 126th at-bats of Barrero’s career. They were the first two hits this season for Barrero, who was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
“It's incredible. To have this come up today just feels amazing," Barrero said through a translator.
Barrero, a Havana native, said he dedicated the home runs to his late mother, Tonia Barrero, who died in Cuba from symptoms related to COVID-19. He changed his name last year from Jose Garcia to honor her.
Milwaukee scored twice off reliever Hunter Strickland in the ninth to make it 7-5, but squandered two good chances when the game was closer.
Trailing 4-3 in the fifth, the Brewers loaded the bases with one out against rookie starter Nick Lodolo. The left-hander struck out Mike Brosseau before righty Buck Farmer (1-1) retired Hunter Renfroe to end the inning.
Down 5-3 in the sixth, Milwaukee had two runners on with two outs when right fielder Aristides Aquino threw out Victor Caratini at the plate on Christian Yelich's single.
Andrew McCutchen hit a solo homer and Keston Hiura had a two-run shot for Milwaukee in the fourth.
McCutchen also had a sacrifice fly in the ninth.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Reds: Rookie RHP Hunter Greene (right shoulder strain) had an MRI but won’t need surgery, Bell said.
Brewers: RHP Adrian Houser (right flexor strain), on the 15-day injured list since July 1, began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville.
BREWERS HONOREES
Prince Fielder joined the Brewers Walk of Fame, and Ryan Braun and Jonathan Lucroy joined the club's Wall of Honor.
Bell played for the Brewers late in 2006, his final season in the majors and Fielder’s second.
“He was like a leader of the team already. He just had that personality,” Bell said. “He had like all the wisdom and experience, everything that you would expect in a much older player.”
Bell’s father, Buddy, managed Fielder’s father, Cecil, on the 1996 Tigers.
HEY, ROOKS
Barrero became the second batter in Reds history to hit his first two major league home runs in the same game. The first was Harry Steinfeldt on July 31, 1900, at Boston, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. ... Fourteen rookies, including nine pitchers, have appeared in at least one game for the Reds this season. Six times, most recently July 31 to Aug. 2, the Reds started rookie pitchers in three straight games.
UP NEXT
Rookie RHP Graham Ashcraft (5-2, 4.12 ERA) faces Brewers RHP Corbin Burnes (8-5, 2.49) on Sunday to complete the three-game series. Ashcraft did not permit an earned run over 8 1/3 innings in his last start, a win at Miami. Burnes, an All-Star and the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner, gave up four runs and walked five over 5 1/3 innings in his last start, a loss at Pittsburgh.

WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg recently opened up on Jinder Mahal's world title-winning push in 2017.
Jinder Mahal won the WWE Championship on May 21, 2017, after defeating Randy Orton at the Backlash pay-per-view. Mahal allied with The Singh Brothers (Samir and Sunil Singh) and held the title for 170 days. He lost it to AJ Styles on an episode of SmackDown a few days ahead of Survivor Series.
Speaking to Dr. Chris Featherstone and Vince Russo on Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Outlaws podcast, Road Dogg agreed with the sentiment that it wasn't a "great creative decision," and he fought hard against it.
"Just like fans viewed it - it wasn't a great creative decision. I fought it as hard as I could, but that was the decision. To Vince's [McMahon] point, we dressed him up, and put those Bollywood Boys with him, we did everything we could. It looked beautiful on TV, but it didn't have any substance." [2:06 - 2:40]
When Chris Featherstone asked Road Dogg whether Jinder Mahal's push was a Vince McMahon decision, he confirmed that it was:
"A 100%. Look, that's what I assumed. That's what happens when you assume. But that's what I assumed and I don't think it was a bad idea. What if it took off in the biggest market on the globe? It's not a bad roll of the dice. The ratings were still pretty decent during it all because we had a lot of great stuff underneath." [2:45 - 3:07]
You can watch the full video below:
At the time, Road Dogg was working in a backstage capacity in WWE as a writer and producer.
Road Dogg disclosed that Brock Lesnar did not want to work with Jinder Mahal
Lesnar, who was the Universal Champion at the time, was slated to face Mahal in a Champion vs. Champion match at the 2017 Survivor Series pay-per-view.
Speaking on the same episode of the podcast, Road Dogg revealed that Brock Lesnar did not want to work with Jinder Mahal.
"So yeah, Brock [Lesnar] said, 'I'm not working with him [Jinder Mahal].' He said that about several people by the way." [1:16 - 1:24]
The Beast Incarnate's reluctance to work with the former champion led to AJ Styles defeating Mahal on the November 7, 2017, episode of SmackDown.
Jinder Mahal is currently involved in a storyline against The Viking Raiders alongside his ally Shanky.

The fighting began with Israel’s killing of a senior Islamic Jihad commander in a wave of strikes Friday that Israel said were meant to prevent an imminent attack.
Hamas, the larger militant group that rules Gaza, appeared to remain on the sidelines of the conflict for now, keeping its response limited. Israel and Hamas fought a war barely a year ago, one of four major conflicts and several smaller battles over the last 15 years that exacted a staggering toll on the impoverished territory's 2 million Palestinian residents.
Whether Hamas continues to stay out of the fight depends in part on how much punishment Israel inflicts on Gaza as rocket fire continues.
The Israeli military said an errant rocket fired by Palestinian militants killed civilians, including children, late Saturday in the town of Jabaliya, in northern Gaza. The military said it investigated the incident and concluded “without a doubt” that it was caused by a misfire on the part of Islamic Jihad. There was no official Palestinian comment on the incident.
A Palestinian medical worker who was not authorized to brief media and spoke on condition of anonymity said the blast killed at least six people, including three children.
Israeli airstrikes Saturday killed a 75-year-old woman and wounded six others as they were preparing to go to a wedding. Airstrikes have also destroyed several houses in the Gaza Strip, some of them belonging to Islamic Jihad members.
The lone power plant in Gaza ground to a halt at noon Saturday due to a lack of fuel. Israel has kept its crossing points into Gaza closed since Tuesday. With the new disruption, Gazans can use only four hours of electricity a day, increasing their reliance on private generators and deepening the territory’s chronic power crisis amid peak summer heat.

The question is about the use of Pakistani airspace… Why is Imran Khan’s party beating their chests after Zawahiri’s death?
Islamabad: Pakistan is shocked by the death of Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. Imran Khan’s party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has opened a front against Shahbaz Sharif’s government over the incident. PTI alleges that US drones used Pakistani airspace for this attack. However, the Pakistani government and military have denied these allegations. The Pakistani military has said there is no question of using Pakistani soil for such a purpose. On Sunday morning, the United States killed al-Zawahiri in a drone strike in the Afghan capital Kabul. The attack was so precise that only Zawahiri, who was present on the balcony of the house, was killed, the rest of the members were completely safe. Zawahiri received a $25 million reward for carrying out the September 11, 2001 attacks on his head. The soil of Pakistan, but about its airspace. He said that we require a formal declaration from all relevant ministries. He tweeted and wrote that the question is whether Pakistan’s airspace was not allowed to be used. Chowdhury added that repeated statements about the non-use of Pakistani land are unclear. He pointed out that relevant ministries should issue an official statement on the matter.
Pakistani government targeted in US drone attack Fawad Chaudhry had asked at a press conference yesterday whether the US had used Pakistani airspace for the recent drone strike that killed Zawahiri. He said the country wanted to know if we were going to be America’s weapon again against al-Qaeda. Meanwhile, on his question on the Geo News show, Pakistan Army DG ISPR Babar Iftikhar said that the Foreign Ministry has clarified it in detail. These are just rumors because anyone can write anything on social media. We should avoid that. Our particular enemy has been spreading such information and people are falling prey to it.

Imran Khan also surrounded the government regarding AmericaImran Khan also questioned America’s permission to use Pakistan’s airspace. He warned that providing airspace to the United States could harm relations with Afghanistan. He said if we gave space and if America did a drone strike in Afghanistan it would affect our tribal areas. Do we want to be part of someone else’s war in the midst of these crises?

Do we pay attention? National Catholic Register
Britain’s National Health System announced the closure of its gender identity development service Tavistock last week. This change could have seismic consequences for similar practices in the United States, where activists have promoted “gender affirmation” care for children with gender dysphoria — a condition in which a patient feels psychological distress at the discrepancy between his or her physical sex and their inner sex. Feelings of being male or female. Gender confirmation protocols encourage patients to align their external pronouns, nouns, and physical traits with their internal feelings. Puberty blockers are said to “stop” normal bodily changes as a first step toward the ultimate goal of presenting to the opposite sex.
After the decision was announced, The Economist stated that closing the London-based clinic represented a “victory” for “those who say stated gender identity should not trump biological sex”. “The tide in Britain appears to be turning against groups that espouse the belief that gender identity trumps everything else, and toward maintaining support for gender-based rights and evidence-based medicine.”
The closely watched move followed the release of a damning report by Dr Hilary Cass, former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, which was tasked with investigating allegations and questions raised by the clinic’s sex-confirmation practices, including the provision of puberty blockers to children. Until the age of ten. The whistleblower alleged that the clinic was under pressure from transgender activists to start the transition, while failing to give sufficient weight to the patients’ mental health history.
The decision to close the clinic will shift ‘gender care’ for young people to regional children’s hospitals, where a more ‘holistic’ approach has been recommended, and those receiving puberty blockers will be part of a formal clinical trial that will track their progress into adulthood.
In her report, Dr. Cass notes that the effect of puberty blockers on children has not been studied with sufficient scientific rigor. Did the medication “pause” puberty or serve as an “initial part of the pathway of transmission?” She asked. Is brain development “temporarily or permanently disrupted by pubertal blockers?” US physicians concerned about these practices have raised similar questions, even as professional medical groups have signed on to the practice.
Dr. Paul Herrose, an endocrinologist and endocrinologist in the USA, told the registry that the European medical community has more experience developing treatment models for gender dysphoria, so the forced closure of the Tavistock Clinic should be a wake-up call. Call the American doctors who work in this field.
“Physicians in the United States need to pay attention to what is happening in Europe, but instead of doing so, activists are redoubling their efforts and making claims that a positive approach is being established as the most effective approach,” Dr. Herrose said.
Sue Evans, a nurse and whistleblower who previously worked at the Tavistock Clinic and tried to sound the alarm about her practices, said the news provided a cautionary tale for a prestigious clinic derailed by “activist-driven medicine”.
“Tavistock specializes in treatment – talking about problems with patients – and … we generally don’t prescribe medications,” Evans wrote in an August 4 column for Common Sense on Substack. She expected the same approach would be used in treating gender dysphoria.
Instead, “some staff did not hesitate to recommend puberty contraindications – even to vulnerable children” with other psychological problems.
Furthermore, “the service’s top doctors will regularly meet with Mermaids, an advocacy group for transgender patients.”
“[A]As time progressed, it became clear that groups like the mermaids exert influence on the physicians and physicians on duty – sometimes dictating the expectations of care for our patients.”
And when these activists began to back away from the old medical community’s position that gender dysphoria was a “mental illness,” doctors faced pressure to introduce pubertal blockers more quickly.
Evans joined the clinic nearly two decades ago, when the number of young people seeking medical treatment for gender issues was small. But the numbers started to rise, then took off after social media networks encouraged young people to question and re-evaluate their gender identity.
In 2001, there were only 250 patients, most of whom were male. By 2021, there were more than 5,000 people, and three-quarters of them were adolescent girls with no prior history of gender identity disorder.
Whistleblowers like Evans were excused when the NHS finally took action after Dr. Cass determined that Tavistock was not a “safe or viable long-term option” for young patients who sought treatment.
Cass emphasized that clinicians and clinicians often failed to investigate and treat underlying mental health issues, such as depression, autism, and a history of abuse and trauma. She warned that this failure left patients at “great risk” for future problems. The report cited “very important unanswered questions” regarding the provision of pubertal blockers to very young children.
He noted that there was no follow-up for patients, which would have given clinicians a chance to assess the actual benefits of the drugs over time.
Dr. Hrose, a US endocrinologist, noted that Dr. Cass’ findings “were consistent with the conclusions of the Finnish Council on Health Care Options (COHERE) and the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare. Unlike the US, these countries chose to go beyond politics and ideology to best serve populations The growing youthfulness of young people with different gender identity.”
He welcomed the shift in focus to the assessment and treatment of “associated psychopathy, whether primary or secondary to a gender dysphoric disorder”.
But Dr. Herrose also stressed that many questions “remain unanswered regarding the best approach to address the well-documented suffering of affected individuals”.
He suggested that clinicians and clinicians in this field should directly address “the shortcomings of the scientific evidence.” [supporting] Current treatment models,” he called “more rigorous testing that includes consideration of alternative hypotheses” regarding the cause or causes of the condition, and “psychological intervention.”
Elsewhere in the United States, reaction to the news from Britain was mixed, even muted.
The New York Times reported last week in an article acknowledging concerns about “the paucity of data on long-term safety and outcomes of clinical transitions.”
But US doctors who perform sex reassignment surgery told The Times they were concerned that closing the Tavistock clinic “will fuel the growing political movement in some states to ban such care altogether.”
For now, however, there is no sign that this earthquake in the world of transgender medicine will overturn the Biden administration’s stated support for gender affirmation care and its also strong opposition to so-called “conversion therapy” designed to help transgender youth solve the problem. The contrast between their inner feelings and their physical gender.
In June, Biden issued an executive order directing the Department of Health and Human Services to restrict coverage of “conversion therapy” for transgender youth in federally funded programs.
In a June 16 article for City Journal, Lior Sapir, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, explained why the Executive Order attacked “conversion therapy,” and what that means for the debate over pubertal blockers for children.
Sapir noted that the term “conversion therapy” was initially used by gay rights advocates to describe efforts by mental health professionals to transgender same-sex people. In recent years, transgender activists have dedicated the term to targeting the use of psychotherapy as a first resort to help minors in gender-related distress feel comfortable with their bodies.”
Why are transgender activists against this psychotherapy as a first step?
“They insist that any effort to explore whether a transgender teen’s self-identification may result from some other factor — for example, a combination of prior sexual abuse and depression — has been scientifically shown to be highly harmful.”
But the early history of medical interventions for gender dysphoria contradicts this position:
The original Dutch protocol, which laid the foundations for child transsexualism, insisted on a lengthy pre-psychological examination of candidates. …what Dutch experts knew at the time, and what researchers now know with greater confidence, is that minors who seek relocation tend to have unusually high rates of mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, attention deficit disorder, eating disorders, and autism .
But cracks are forming within the American medical establishment that has allowed activists to lead treatment protocols, just as Tavistock has allowed mermaids to sit at the table.
“Perhaps it is no coincidence that on the same day the Biden administration made its announcement, the New York Times magazine published a long article acknowledging, for the first time, that only proven treatment is controversial among medical experts,” Sapir wrote. The article from the log paper not only recorded “the growing skepticism within the research community about the safety and reliability of ‘social transformation’ and puberty blockers,” but cited the work of Abigail Schreier, author of The Irreversible Harm, a previously banned book. on Amazon for violating its user protocols.
Divisions emerge in the institution’s support for gender-affirming therapy. Let’s pray that closing Tavistock will pave the way for a long overdue account.

According to a senior police officer, the man posing as a traffic police officer came from Guwahati on a bus and got down at Paruwa Chariali in Tezpur city on Saturday.
"Immediately, he called the traffic policemen present there and started checking vehicles that were violating rules. He started collecting fines. This led to suspicion to the other junior officers and they called their seniors," he added.
When senior officials reached the spot, the truth came out and he was arrested immediately.
"During the investigation, we came to know that he has applied the same trick in other places such as Rangia and Nagaon to collect money. He studied till lower levels and always dreamt of becoming a police officer. So, he started posing as a cop wearing the uniform," the officer said.

We are inspired by the new technologies revolving around sustainability and also UN Sustainable Development Goals, which are being followed all around the world.
We hope to incorporate advanced sustainable technologies to achieve our goal of making available a lifestyle our patrons can be proud of. A lifestyle that restores the balance between nature and humans. We realize we can’t change the world overnight, but this small step is an important one.
Our promoter Mr. Shyamrup Roy Choudhury is personally involved, and ensures that we take these steps to conserve and nurture the environment around us. He was inspired and led down this path by his mentor Sh. Gautam Adani and his father Dr. Arup Roy Choudhury.

"Time against us" in bid to rescue 10 Mexican miners after 3 days underground (reuters.com)

In case of paywall:
Large pumps have sucked water from a flooded coal mine in Mexico as authorities weigh whether to send divers to try to save 10 miners who have been trapped underground for more than three days. The miners became trapped at a mine in the northern border state of Coahuila on Wednesday afternoon when their excavation work caused a tunnel wall to collapse, triggering flooding in three wells. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Saturday would be decisive in determining whether divers could safely enter the mine. But by afternoon, Coahuila Governor Miguel Riquelme said water levels were still too high. "Time is against us," he told families at the site, Mexican media reported. Relatives keeping vigil outside said they were pinning their hopes on the possibility the miners had found a pocket of air. "We're tired, we're desperate, but with a little bit (of) hope," said Cecilia Cruz, adding that she had heard about mining accidents in her native Coahuila for decades before the incident that trapped her nephew, 42-year-old Sergio Cruz. The possibility of mud-filled tunnels and underground collapses could make it impossible for rescue teams to search for the miners, even if enough water is extracted, she noted. "Do they want to risk more lives? It would be an even bigger tragedy," she said. Six divers from Mexican Special Forces were sent to aid the effort at the mine, where three wells, each 60 metres deep, were initially more than half-flooded. Five miners managed to escape. One, Fernando Pompa, recounted in an interview with a Coahuila radio station how he was hauled above ground in a cart used to transport coal after the accident unleashed a huge gush of water. "The hope is that there's a little bubble of air," he said. The mine, in the municipality of Sabinas, opened in January and had no "record of complaints for any type of abnormality," according to the Labor Ministry. Sergio Martinez, whose brother Jorge Luis Martinez, 34, is trapped, said workers above ground told him they heard a thundering noise accompanied by an jet of air when the accident happened. They raced to the mine and threw down a rope, pulling up workers by hand, but didn't reach Jorge Luis. "We hope there's a miracle so he gets out alive," Martinez said.

I can't imagine being trapped in a slowly filling room for 3 days. One can only hope for the Mexican Marines to make the rescue.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization in Gaza fired more than 350 rockets at Israel throughout the Sabbath, as Israel’s Operation Breaking Dawn got underway.
RAW FOOTAGE: This is the moment a barrage of rockets was fired from Gaza toward Israeli civilians.
This is what terrorism looks like: pic.twitter.com/XLbch5NfFR
— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) August 5, 2022
On Saturday night, the Strauss food products factory in Sderot sustained a direct hit from a rocket attack.
Earlier in the day, a house in Sderot was also hit directly by rocket fire; although the family was in the home at the time, they remained safe in their built-in bomb shelter.
But of the 350 rockets fired by the terrorists, 94 landed among their own population in Gaza and 29 more landed in the Mediterranean Sea.
IDF soldiers operating the Iron Dome aerial defense system intercepted 162 of the missiles that were projected to strike Israeli population centers – a 96 percent interception rate.
Three people, including two IDF soldiers, sustained minor injuries from mortar fire in areas along the Gaza border.
Israeli fighter pilots carried out wave after wave of air strikes aimed at PIJ terrorist targets throughout the Gaza enclave.
In Gaza City, a fireball erupted followed by thick black smoke after a surgical Israeli air strike on a building in the city.
In Israel, Red Alert sirens blared through the night and throughout the day on Saturday, continuing into the evening hours, as PIJ terrorists aimed their missiles at Israeli population centers.
Rocket fire was aimed primarily at Israelis living near the Gaza border, including the city of Sderot, as well as those living in Ashkelon, Ashdod, Tel Aviv, Yavne, Holon, Bat Yam, Modi’in and Rishon Lezion. | https://www.jewishpress.com/news/eye-on-palestine/gaza/day-one-350-rockets-fired-at-israel-by-gazas-pij-terrorists/2022/08/06/ | 2022-08-07T06:43:03Z | https://www.jewishpress.com/news/eye-on-palestine/gaza/day-one-350-rockets-fired-at-israel-by-gazas-pij-terrorists/2022/08/06/ | true | 1 |

Smart speakers can be lent to carry out various tasks, among which is perfectly playing Musicand especially from Spotify if this is your favorite streaming music service.
In fact, this may even be one of the reasons why users sometimes buy a smart speaker, for the simple fact of being able to play millions of songs and podcasts just by saying it out loud.
Now, for this to happen, Spotify and amazon Alexa must first be connected, which it doesn’t turn out to be complicated at all and today we will be verifying it with the steps that you must carry out.
Before starting, it is important that you are clear that, just like on your mobile or any device, Spotify will work and play the songs you want, although only if you have a premium account. If you only have a free account, you will have to listen to mixed playlists and with ads.
Steps to sync Spotify with Amazon Alexa from mobile
– Open the Alexa app from your Android or iPhone mobile.
– Click on the button Pluslocated in the lower right corner of the screen.
– Now click on the tab Setting.
– Scroll down and select the option Music and Podcasts.
– Finally, click on Link new service.
Follow the prompts to sign in with your Spotify account and you’re good to go. Now, once both accounts are linked, all you need to do is ask the speaker to play your favorite artist, album, song, or podcast.
Something that you cannot forget is that you can only have one stream per Spotify accountso if you are listening to music from your mobile and someone at home asks the speaker to play music, it will change there. | https://voonze.com/so-you-can-listen-to-spotify-music-from-a-speaker-with-amazon-alexa/ | 2022-08-07T06:56:23Z | https://voonze.com/so-you-can-listen-to-spotify-music-from-a-speaker-with-amazon-alexa/ | true | 1 |

LONDON: Pro-Palestinian protesters held a demonstration in East London against Israel’s ongoing aggression on the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip, organizers said.People gathered at Altab Ali park for a vigil for the occupied enclave after Israeli defense forces killed a five-year-old Palestinian girl, along with at least 15 others in the past two days, the UK-based Friends of Al-Aqsa said.Israel has said it was necessary to launch a “pre-emptive” operation against Islamic Jihad, saying the group was planning an imminent attack following days of tensions along the border with Gaza.Health authorities in the Palestinian enclave, which is controlled by Hamas, said a five-year-old girl was among 15 people killed since Friday, adding that more than 140 have been wounded.”This followed a day of street action as individuals from London to Glasgow pledged to boycott Coca-Cola as part of FOA’s latest #NotInMyFridge National Pledge,” the non-profit organization said. “Anti-apartheid activists distributed #NIMF leaflets at food hubs across the country, including at Coca-Cola’s first European flagship store which was recently opened to the public in Covent Garden.”Pro-Palestinian activists also protested against the “ongoing administrative detention of Khalil Awawdeh,” while a mock bride and groom urged people not to serve Coca-Cola at their weddings.”We need consistent campaigning to hold companies to account for their complicity in Israel’s murdering of Palestinians,” said Shamiul Joarder, head of Public Affairs at FOA.”It’s time to make a simple pledge and support Palestine by boycotting Coca-Cola,” he said. “We’re asking people to pledge that Coca-Cola won’t be in their fridges for summer barbecues, parties and weddings,” adding: “Our good times must not come with the taste of apartheid and at the expense of Palestinian rights.”FOA claims that “Coca-Cola has long been criticized for its complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation and apartheid.”It says it operates in the town of Atarot, north of Jerusalem, which is “an illegal Israeli settlement built on land stolen from Palestinians. Atarot operates in violation of international law, and FOA’s campaign urges Coca-Cola to changes its ways.” | https://yemenwatch.com/pro-palestinian-protesters-in-uk-hold-vigil-for-5-year-old-killed-in-israel-raid-on-gaza/ | 2022-08-07T07:00:09Z | https://yemenwatch.com/pro-palestinian-protesters-in-uk-hold-vigil-for-5-year-old-killed-in-israel-raid-on-gaza/ | false | 2 |
Maruti Suzuki India will increase its production and aims to produce 20 lakh units in the ongoing fiscal with improving availability of semiconductors, according to company Chairman RC Bhargava.
In his address to shareholders in the company’s annual report for 2021-22, he said the upcoming mid-sized SUV Grand Vitara will play a key role in the challenge to touch 20 lakh units.
In 2021-22, total sales of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) increased by 13.4 per cent to 16.52 lakh units. It had lost out on sales in the first quarter of the fiscal due to the pandemic and production being affected by the shortage of semiconductors, mainly for domestic models, Bhargava wrote.
“The number of unmet bookings with the company at the end of the year rose to about 2.7 lakhs,” he said, adding MSIL’s market share declined to 43.4 per cent from nearly 50 per cent as it lost some opportunity in the domestic market.
As per Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) data, domestic passenger vehicle sales in the domestic market stood at 30,69,499 units in 2021-22, as compared to 27,11,457 units in 2020-21.
On the outlook for the current year, he said, “The vehicle production would increase as the situation regarding the availability of semiconductors has improved. Your company has also made further improvisations to enhance production. I am exhorting our team to reach 2 million units, though doing that remains a challenge.” Bhargava further said the launch of Grand Vitara, which will be manufactured by Toyota at its Karnataka factory, “is one of the reasons why we are expecting to increase production and challenge 2 million units”.
The new SUV will also come with Toyota’s strong hybrid technology, which “is the first-time cars with this technology would be manufactured in India”, he claimed.
Enhancement of Maruti Suzuki’s SUV portfolio is necessary to offset the decline in sales of the non-premium hatchbacks, the core segment of the company, which declined by 5 per cent in FY22 due to rising costs as compared to 2020-2021, and were lower by 29 per cent as against 2018-19, he added.
“On the other hand, the SUV sector continued to grow. We did not have enough models in this segment to compete effectively, though the situation has now become much better with the launch of the remodelled Brezza and the global launch of Grand Vitara,” Bhargava said.
More models are to follow, he said adding, “We are hopeful that MSIL’s market share will rapidly increase in the SUV segment.” On electric vehicles (EVs), he said the Gujarat plant of Suzuki Motor Corporation will start production from 2024-25 and will be sold by MSIL.
“As I had mentioned last year, it will take time for EVs to become the major product in all the segments of the car market. In the period till this change happens, the object of carbon footprint reduction would be facilitated by incentivising the use of CNG, ethanol, biogas and strong hybrids in addition to EVs,” he added.
To meet future demands, Bhargava said MSIL has finalised land purchase at Kharkhoda in Haryana for its new manufacturing plant, where it is investing Rs 11,000 crore in the first phase.
“We are giving high priority to expanding production facilities at this site so as to meet future demands. The first unit is planned to be commissioned in 2025 and the second about a year later,” he added.
Depending on market conditions, Bhargava said, “… this site has the potential to become one of the largest car manufacturing sites anywhere in the world. The facilities will incorporate the best of technology and generate employment opportunities in the State of Haryana and all over India.” | https://www.financialexpress.com/express-mobility/maruti-suzuki-aims-to-produce-20-lakh-units-this-fiscal-chairman-rc-bhargava/2620495/ | 2022-08-07T07:09:05Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/express-mobility/maruti-suzuki-aims-to-produce-20-lakh-units-this-fiscal-chairman-rc-bhargava/2620495/ | false | 10 |

NASHVILLE — Malik Willis is experiencing some growing pains as the Tennessee Titans rookie works through his first training camp.
Willis threw a deep pass to Josh Malone for a nice connection Friday and came back by finding Mason Kinsey across the middle in coverage. Needing a touchdown to wrap up practice, Willis completed two of his first three passes before running and sliding down around the 10.
Then the rookie overthrew Reggie Roberson Jr. at the back of the end zone before being sacked on a corner blitz by Michael Griffin II as time expired.
That's OK. The Titans can be patient with Willis because Ryan Tannehill is their starter.
“It really is one day at a time. It really is,” Titans quarterbacks coach Pat O'Hara said. "And that’s OK. And he’s been great.”
The Titans took the 6-foot-1, 219-pound Willis with the 86th pick overall out of Liberty, trading up to make him the highest-drafted quarterback by the franchise since taking Marcus Mariota at No. 2 overall in 2016. Willis threw for 2,857 yards and 27 touchdowns last season with 12 interceptions and ran for 13 TDs. For his career, he had 48 TD passes and 29 rushing.
Mariota had to start immediately.
Not only does Tennessee have Tannehill going into his 11th season, Logan Woodside has been his backup the past couple seasons. The challenge is whether Willis can progress fast enough to challenge Logan Woodside for the job backing up Tannehill. On Thursday, Willis ran the two-minute offense right after Tannehill.
Willis says he felt light years away from where he was at Tennessee’s rookie minicamp in mid-May to just the start of training camp a couple weeks ago. He's processing faster what he needs to be doing on each play and feels much more comfortable running the huddle and at the line of scrimmage.
“My coach is making it real easy to just focus on what I need to focus on and let me go out there and play and have fun," Willis said.
He's also learning that fine line that a wide receiver that might appear covered well in college can make the catch in the NFL. Willis has the strong arm, but timing is everything.
“I feel like it’s more when you have to throw that ball. and arm strength is not always going to save you because that waiting half a second later, it might be a PBU instead of a completion," Willis said.
O'Hara got to spend a lot of time with Willis before the April draft. He believed Willis would be able to grasp information quickly and retain all he learned.
But he has been impressed at just how “super smart” the quarterback is in dealing with the pressure of going from the college game to the NFL, where even the hash marks are different.
“His decision-making, which we monitor, has been very good for a rookie,” O'Hara said.
“And things that he hasn’t had to do before relative to working from the pocket, his feet need to catch up with his mind. And it’s getting better. It takes time. Malik has a very strong arm and a really cool skill set. But you can’t always rely on that all the time.”
That means getting Willis to remember the NFL has lots of rules to protect quarterbacks who stay in the pocket compared to only protection for the head and neck area when running outside.
“Operating outside the pocket is not a problem for Malik,” O'Hara said.

Another war? U.S. uses Pelosi to provoke China
By Sara Flounders
August 2, 2022
Bulletin: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi landed in Taiwan August 2. Here is the statement by the Chinese Foreign Ministry: https://tinyurl.com/455vrnyb
U.S. provocations against China have moved into high gear. Even as the war in Ukraine, instigated by Washington, unfolds with disastrous consequences for European economies and vibrates through the world economy, a more ominous confrontation is planned.
The aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, with its accompanying battle group of warships, a guided missile cruiser, destroyers and nuclear submarines, is headed to the coast of China near the Taiwan Strait. This aggressive show of force is intended as a threat to back up Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi’s announced plan to visit Taiwan.
China has stated strong objection to this open military escalation as a flagrant violation of the U.S.-agreed position that China is one country and incorporates Taiwan as a province.
President Xi Jinping warned U.S. President Joe Biden in a conference call July 28 that “Those who play with fire will perish by it.” Xi called on the U.S. to honor the One China principle to which they had agreed. (tinyurl.com/35wpmymu)
“Don’t say we didn’t warn you” was a July 29 Global Times headline. It is the highest level of warning used in the past before China has taken military action.
“China’s responses will be systematic and not limited to a small scale, given the severity of Pelosi’s actions and the damage to political trust from Sino-U.S. relations,” said Yang Mingjie, head of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Institute of Taiwan Studies.
He said China’s response could include “military options and comprehensive countermeasures from the economy to diplomacy.”
Based on the strong warnings from China, it is uncertain whether Speaker of the House Pelosi’s six-person congressional visit to Taiwan goes ahead as part of her visit to Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan. The purpose of the trip is to reassert an aggressive intervention in Asia and openly challenge the One China agreement.
Pelosi, who ranks third in the line of succession to the presidency, would be the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit the island in 25 years. Pelosi is hardly on a personal trip. The visit is an arrogant challenge to China’s unity and will be backed up by a U.S. aircraft carrier battle group and military jets.
China’s consistent position
China has held a consistent, well-understood position on its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Washington is now openly violating a signed international agreement made 50 years ago, on Feb. 28, 1972, between Premier Zhou Enlai and U.S. President Richard Nixon, called the Shanghai Joint Communique. U.S. Secretary of State William P. Rogers and Special Advisor Henry Kissinger participated in drafting this document.
At that time the U.S. was isolated in Asia and all but defeated in Vietnam. This was the motivation to normalize relations — after two decades of failed efforts to overturn the Chinese Revolution through harsh sanctions and military disruptions. The U.S. was especially anxious to drive a wedge between China and the Soviet Union. This division between the two largest but still developing socialist countries was a historic setback for the working class internationally.
Now, 50 years later, U.S. imperialist power is waning. China, Russia, Iran and other countries of the region are increasingly united and able to assist each other when faced by U.S. imperialism’s military threats and new levels of economic sanctions.
The bottom line of the People’s Republic of China in 1972 for normalizing relations with the U.S. was a signed pledge of noninterference in its internal affairs and respect for its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Of course, like all its agreements and treaties, the U.S. has violated this pledge numerous times through its interference in Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang and Taiwan and its funding under U.S. AID programs to hostile and disruptive movements within China.
Of greatest importance was the inclusion of Taiwan in the Shanghai Joint Communique of 1972, which remains valid today. The United States acknowledged that “all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China, and that Taiwan is a part of China. The United States Government does not challenge that position. It reaffirms its interest in a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan question by the Chinese themselves.”
What Wall Street wants to disrupt
China’s planned economy now surpasses the capitalist economy of the U.S. To the U.S. ruling class, efforts to disrupt China have become a priority.
With a population of only 23 million, Taiwan has become a pawn in the struggle to disrupt China. Several cities on the Chinese mainland have larger populations than the island province of Taiwan. Why is disrupting Taiwan so important to Washington’s strategy?
China is Taiwan largest trading partner. It is an important manufacturing center for semiconductor computer chips and other high-tech products that are critical in global supply chains. Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) currently dominates the market in the production of the most advanced types of semiconductor chips. Its integrated circuits produce power appliances, cars, laptops and phones. It now makes 92% of the world’s most advanced semiconductors.
None of these advanced chips are currently made in the U.S. Meanwhile, China is putting enormous resources into quickly developing its own computer chips. Breaking this essential supply chain is intended to disrupt Chinese global production. Of course it will be even more disruptive to the U.S. and the European Union. Already, based on aggressive sanctions threats, the U.S. has forced Taiwanese semiconductor companies to stop doing business with major Chinese clients like Huawei.
One China policy
Taiwan island has remained officially a province of China since 1683 during the Qing Dynasty.
Following the Chinese Civil War in 1949, the corrupt U.S.-backed Kuomintang Nationalist forces withdrew to China’s island province of Taiwan with U.S. naval support. The victorious Chinese Communist Party then established the People’s Republic of China.
On Taiwan, the Kuomintang forces established what they called the Republic of China, claiming it was the government of all China, and they continue to do so today. But even Taiwan’s constitution claims that Taiwan is a province of all of China. The overwhelming majority of the world, along with the United Nations, officially agree that Taiwan is part of People’s China.
U.S. imperialism, however, has reversed course and is seeking through political and military measures to use Taiwan to destabilize China and provoke a military confrontation.
U.S. military ‘Pivot to Asia’
In 2011 President Barack Obama announced a “Pivot to Asia,” aimed at encircling and containing China. Under Donald Trump, the official position was that the military must prioritize planning for major power conflict with the People’s Republic of China. He took this military hostility to the next level with a trade war.
President Joe Biden has taken it even further, with more weapons sales and aggressive actions. Democrats and Republicans in Congress try to outdo each other in proposing anti-China measures.
The U.S. military presence in Taiwan doubled last December — although not included in counts are U.S. Green Berets training Taiwanese soldiers; other U.S. advisors and contractors involved in weapons placement, technical assistance and training; and a steady escalation of U.S. weapons sales to Taiwan.
The U.S. military and its weapons contractors have told Taiwan what to order, including drones, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and Javelin anti-tank missiles, the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System and naval sea mines.
The Pentagon has provided similar weapons to Ukraine.
A $108-million U.S. arms sale May 25 was the fifth under the Biden administration and the fourth approved this year. It follows a $95-million air defense system in April and a $100-million upgrade for Patriot missiles in February. A $14.2-billion backlog of military equipment ordered since 2019 has not yet been delivered.
The goal is to make Taiwan a “porcupine” bristling with weapons. The island is being aggressively transformed into an offensive launch platform for war, even as U.S strategists seek to provoke China into military action.
Washington for years employed a similar strategy to build up military and fascist forces within Ukraine as a platform against Russia, with the aim of provoking the current disastrous war there.
These continuing weapons sales, along with Pelosi’s visit, are aimed at further undermining the One China policy.
Nikkei Asia reports that the U.S. has been in discussions to build a network of offensive missiles which would violate the INF treaty on Taiwan. On May 5 the State Department removed wording on its official website that had said “the United States does not support Taiwan independence” and that had acknowledged “the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China.”
This year, for the first time, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea were invited to participate in a NATO Summit as “Indo-Pacific Partners.” This invitation was part of a new “NATO Strategic Concept” — a 10-year strategy plan that openly declares China a threat: “The close alliance between China and Russia threatens western values.”
Endless war, the quick fix
U.S. wars in Asia have cost millions of lives, poisoned generations of children and left environmental destruction that is still unrepaired. Who can forget the devastation caused by U.S. wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria? Millions of people were displaced. While each ended in failure for U.S. imperialism, they reaped trillions of dollars in profits for the military industries and the capitalist class.
The very real danger of a new war is rising. As a capitalist crisis deepens, U.S. imperialism will again choose war. Not because they win the wars, but the parasitic capitalist class desperately needs a huge infusion of military spending. Like an infusion of drugs, it’s a quick, temporary fix.
The U.S.-instigated war in Ukraine has not led to the predicted collapse of the Russian economy, but it has disrupted supply chains of energy and food globally. It is a major cause of the current recession.
A military confrontation with China would be far more disruptive. And it is even less likely to succeed. | https://iacenter.org/2022/08/03/another-war-u-s-uses-taiwan-to-provoke-china/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=another-war-u-s-uses-taiwan-to-provoke-china | 2022-08-07T07:26:01Z | https://iacenter.org/2022/08/03/another-war-u-s-uses-taiwan-to-provoke-china/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=another-war-u-s-uses-taiwan-to-provoke-china | false | 4 |
Wife of the Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church, LFC, Worldwide, Pastor Faith Oyedepo, has urged winners to obedient in the affairs of the Kingdom (of God).
On his part, the husband, Bishop David Oyedepo, said obedience is better than sacrifice.
The couple spoke at the church’s monthly leadership conference.
The declarations were yesterday, interpreted as a subtle endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party for the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi.
Obi’s supporters have been campaigning under the alias ‘Obi-dients’.
The candidate himself visited the Oyedepos at the Ota-based church after which photos from the visit went viral as supporters lavishly shared them on social media.
Oyedepo’s wife, while citing Isaiah 1:19-20, stressed the need for Christians to be obedient to spiritual instructions to enjoy the good of the land.
Her words: “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” (Isa. 1:19-20).
She urged the church to pray for God’s Spirit to serve and be obedient.
In his own sermon, Bishop Oyedepo, while unravelling the mystery of the covenant of obedience, said: “To be obedient is better than sacrifice. Obedience may be costly but the end result is always priceless.
“When you live your life as a seed, its impact lives for generations after you”.

Death Valley National Park, famous for its parched, otherworldly landscapes, closed completely Friday due to historic rainfall and flash flooding, trapping about 500 visitors and 500 staff members in the park after the closures.
No major injuries were reported, though about 60 vehicles were damaged.
The park experienced “unprecedented amounts of rainfall” of 1.46 inches measured at Furnace Creek, which caused substantial flooding. The rainfall total is just below the previous daily record of 1.47 inches.
The total represents nearly three-fourths of a year’s worth of rain for the park, which sees yearly average precipitation of 2 inches.
No additional rainfall is expected Friday, but the incident marks the second time flash flooding has hit the park this week. On Monday, flooding affected many roads, and a Facebook post from the park showed a vehicle buried up to its headlights in dirt and gravel.
Sunny and hot conditions are expected to return to Death Valley this weekend, with highs in the 80s and 90s.
“The flood waters pushed dumpster containers into parked cars, which caused cars to collide into one another,” the park said in a statement. “Additionally, many facilities are flooded, including hotel rooms and business offices.”
Park officials noted that most of the vehicles damaged were in a parking lot.
As of Friday evening, most of the visitors remained in the developed area of the park, with a few able to leave the park as crews managed to create makeshift roadways by moving mounds of gravel.
“All roads into and out of the park are currently closed and will remain closed until park staff can assess the extensiveness of the situation,” the park said in its statement.
Reopening of some roads had been expected to take around six hours from Friday morning. As of 6 p.m., however, all roads remained closed and it was unclear when they would reopen.
The last time a closure of this size occurred in Death Valley was in August 2004, when a rainstorm caused flash flooding, said Abby Wines, Death Valley’s public information officer. The rain totals for that incident are unknown.
The park did not open for 10 days, Wines said.
Friday’s flooding comes a week after monsoonal downpours sent water cascading into another famously arid region, the Las Vegas Strip, inundating casino floors and downing numerous trees. The floodwaters in Vegas were accompanied by wind gusts of up to 70 mph.

Brazil's federal police on Saturday arrested five more men in an investigation into the murder of British journalist Dom Phillips and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira in the Amazon rainforest in June.
Police said in a statement that seven arrest warrants were issued for illegal fishing in the Vale do Javari region, the remote area close to the border with Colombia and Peru where Phillips and Pereira disappeared on June 5.
The region has been invaded by illegal fishermen, loggers and gold miners. Police say it is a key drug trafficking route.
Phillips, a freelance reporter who wrote for the Guardian and the Washington Post, was doing research for a book on the trip with Pereira, a former head of isolated and recently contacted tribes at federal indigenous affairs agency Funai.
Two of the seven suspects were already under arrest: Ruben Dario da Silva Villar, known as “Colombia”, and fisherman Amarildo Costa de Oliveira, known as “Pelado” who was arrested in June as the primary suspect in the murder.
According to the police, Colombia would be the leader and financier of an armed criminal gang involved in illegal fishing that was smuggled out to the neighbouring countries.
Three of the newly arrested men, whose names were not revealed, are relatives of Amarildo and were involved in concealing the bodies of Phillips and Pereira, the police said.
Pereira, the former senior official at the federal indigenous affairs agency Funai, had previously clashed with Amarildo over illegal fishing within the indigenous territory.
Federal prosecutors said that Phillips was killed so that he could not identify the killers.

Prabhudas Lilladher's research report on KEC International
KEC International (KEC) reported a mixed quarterly performance. Revenue grew 30.6% YoY led by better execution, while EBITDA margin contracted 122bps YoY to 5.1% due to higher commodity prices, elevated logistics cost and losses in SAE Brazil. Margin pressures likely to continue in Q2FY23 and start improving from Q3FY23 onwards, owing to softening commodity prices, completion of legacy EPC orders in SAE and execution of recently bagged orders. Net debt increased to Rs34.2bn in Q1FY23 vs Rs25.3bn in Q1FY22, owing to elevated borrowings in SAE Brazil. Working capital days were elevated at 148 days in Q1FY23, due to funding in SAE, higher receivables in T&D and Railway segment due to back ended payment terms in few projects. However, net debt and working capital situation is expected to improve from Q3FY23, owing to better collections and expected break even in SAE. Tender pipeline remains healthy at Rs1.1trn comprising of Domestic T&D (Rs350bn), Civil (Rs300bn), Railways (Rs170bn) and T&D opportunity in MENA region (Rs200bn). We remain long term positive on KEC given its 1) strong OB, 2) healthy execution momentum, 3) strong domestic & international T&D outlook and 4) strong growth visibility from non-T&D segments like Civil, Railways, Oil & Gas etc.
Outlook
Factoring in expected margins revival in coming quarters across key segments and healthy tender pipeline, we revise our EPS estimates upwards by 4.8% for FY24E. The stock is trading at PE of 20.7x/12.2x FY23/24E. Maintain ‘Accumulate’ rating with revised TP of Rs473 (Rs451 earlier) valuing it at PE of 13x FY24E EPS.

A healthy economy needs risk, loss, and failure
Economic growth and destruction go together the same way bullish and bearish financial markets do
The US and Europe stand on the brink of possible recession that will bring job loss and misery. Even if a downturn is narrowly avoided, high inflation and falling asset values have already destroyed wealth and made everyone poorer.
Pandemics happen, and so do market downturns. But some of the pain the world faces today stems from policymakers' attempts to avoid economic loss in the first place. For the past decade, central banks and governments pursued policies that aimed to eliminate downside risk and ensure stable, predictable growth. But that's impossible. The next recession should remind us that better policies cultivate resilience to economic setbacks in institutions and individuals instead of trying to avoid loss entirely.
The fallacy that stable, predictable growth is possible isn't new. Politicians like to promise it, and it's human nature to delude ourselves into believing we can get something for nothing—growth without the risk of loss. Even smart people fall for financial scammers like Bernie Madoff. But recently the belief that economies can grow without risk became more pervasive and began to guide our policies. Much like in a financial scam, this blind faith won't end well.
Economic growth and destruction go together the same way bullish and bearish financial markets do. Risk is what propels markets and the real economy. The innovation that's necessary to improve lives and make us wealthier is inherently risky. Entire industries shrink or disappear, some people lose jobs, and some make the wrong bets and lose money.
The 2008 financial crisis appeared to be a failure of a capitalist system that embraced freer, less-regulated markets. It destroyed significant wealth, and the deep recession that followed hurt many of the poorest people. It led some to question capitalism altogether. Shortly after the financial crisis, I attended a meeting in Paris at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) where a division chief announced that the crisis and global recession proved that a culture of growth based on risk was the wrong approach. But there is no free lunch. Less risk also means less growth, and no one at the meeting was willing to acknowledge that hard truth.
To be fair, not everyone experienced downside risk equally during the financial crisis. Banks got bailed out, and they went back to paying high salaries to some of the very people who'd messed up. Saving the financial system was necessary, but policymakers never grappled with the righteous anger those bailouts provoked. Instead, the thinking shifted that next time, everyone should be bailed out.
Our disillusionment with unfettered capitalism coincided with the rise of the Chinese economy. At the time, even famous capitalists and globalists speculated that the Chinese had the superior economic and political model. And in the depths of the Great Recession, that was easy to believe. Under the firm grip of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the economy grew quickly and steadily from 1992 to 2019. If you accept Chinese statistics at face value, gross domestic product growth barely dipped below 6% in almost 30 years. It looked much better than the 2% to 3% growth—and a few recessions—in the US and Europe. And this was no accident. The CCP did all it could to keep growth high. If there was trouble in the Chinese housing market because too many apartments were built that no one wanted, the government cleared slums and put people in the new, empty homes. If demand for exports fell, the currency could be manipulated. If prices for commodities fell, the government would buy them. Money and people were directed to the most promising industries, and they were propped up, too.
The economic success of China added to the illusion that if we just pick the right policies, we can have growth that is predictable and stable. (China's Covid-zero strategy reflected a similar government belief that Beijing can remove downside risk.)
Western countries never fully embraced the Chinese model. But since the financial crisis, there's been a shift toward being more aggressive in trying to remove risk from the economy.
Central banks became more involved in the economy. History tells us monetary policy doesn't have much impact on the real economy, but when done well, it can make it less volatile. A central bank can't prevent recessions but can make them less severe. It can't ensure everyone has a job, but it can limit unemployment in a recession.
After the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve expanded its mission. Quantitative easing was supposed to be an emergency measure, only used in severe recessions, but since 2008 the Fed has been easing during 8 of the past 14 years. The Fed also kept its policy rate below neutral (at or below zero after accounting for inflation), with the exception of just a few months, for more than a decade—long after the recession passed. Instead of just softening the edges of a risky economy, it was trying to keep it growing at all costs.
In late August 2020, in the wake of the racial justice protests that seized national attention, the Fed changed its objective. It would now target maximum inclusive employment and tolerate inflation rising above its 2% target to reach this goal, instead of just balancing maximum employment (normally defined as the employment level that doesn't overheat the economy) with maintaining stable target inflation. Discrimination is a scourge on the economy, but the Fed doesn't have the tools to eliminate it. (This is better addressed through fiscal and legal policy.) Nor does it have the power to reduce unemployment caused by structural issues such as mismatches in skills and geography. The slow recovery that followed 2008 is often interpreted as proof that the government should have done more. But the problem may not be that fiscal stimulus was too small, or that monetary policy wasn't accommodative enough—instead it could be that there was only so much that these policies can do.
Fiscal policy also became more active. The US government has created more tariffs and subsidies to shelter companies and industries from the vagaries of trade. The welfare state no longer just helps people down on their luck when something bad happens; it now shields even the middle and upper-middle class from financial setbacks. During the pandemic, the US paid out three rounds of stimulus. The first two were justified: Many people were out of work and needed support. But the 2021 package was three times the size of the GDP shortfall—and the economy was already recovering. Instead of just smoothing over the drop in economic activity, the American Rescue Plan attempted to give everyone a pay-out for their trouble, too. In some parts of the country, unemployed people were paid more than they would've earned working (with extra unemployment benefits). And we provided funds to people with jobs whether they needed it or not, in the form of stimulus payments and child tax credits that went to almost everyone, even higher earners.
Reducing risk in the economy is a noble goal. Governments and central banks have the ability to cushion severe downside risk, protect the most vulnerable from extreme hardship, and regulate risky behaviour that causes harm to others. But there is a big difference between risk reduction and near-elimination. That's the hard truth in financial markets and in the real economy. Growth and risk are tied together—it's a law as firm as gravity. If you try to remove risk from the economy, at best you end up with stagnation; at worst, you create distortions in the financial system that bring even worse recessions.
It does no one any favours to remove risk from their life. It's better to accept that downturns happen, that sometimes wealth is lost, and then help people become more resilient during the setbacks the economy throws at them. This involves more modest monetary policy and a safety net that provides insurance against the very worst shocks, protecting the most vulnerable, but otherwise allowing for failure. Attempts at risk elimination make people less resilient. Promising households and the private sector that they'll always be bailed out encourages more debt—and less resilience to shocks. One study estimates that stimulus payments didn't meaningfully improve economic well-being; they may have even increased financial stress.
Risk also plays an important role in prices, which makes markets more robust. The risk associated with new ventures determines what entrepreneurs pay for capital. Accurate risk pricing creates market discipline, giving investors valuable information about what ventures are worth funding. When we take away risk, this information is less meaningful, and markets are more prone to destructive bubbles.
The Chinese economy is showing signs of strain from its no-risk economic strategy. Years of directing capital to favoured industries such as real estate caused bubbles, and now there's too much housing no one wants. The Chinese government can only move people out of slums so many times. Real estate developers are defaulting and threatening middle-class savers' money in the process. Meanwhile, the Covid-zero policy revealed to the world that China may not be a reliable trading partner.
The real test of any economic regime is how well it can produce sustainable growth, which comes from innovation. That means some ideas and investments fail, and some industries are disrupted. China was able to grow for so long because it was able to put many people to work and import existing technology from abroad. But it can't grow that way forever, especially as its population ages. China has yet to prove it can produce the innovation required to sustain its growth. Taking risk out of the economy–and constraining access to capital to companies the government deems too risky or subversive isn't a good sign.
Too much risk suppression has also caused problems in the West. Years of sub-zero real interest rates led to ballooning corporate debt and more investment in risky assets such as cryptocurrencies and opaque private equity. The desire to give everyone multiple checks while keeping rates low contributed to inflation, and now a worse recession may be in our future.
A recession may be inevitable, despite our best efforts to build a no-risk economy. And next time it could be worse. If we run up too much debt to give people and corporations money so they never experience downside risk, eventually interest rates rise, and it might be harder to support families when they really need help. Inflation and enormous debt levels are the immediate costs of our attempts to eliminate risk. The second-order effects may be felt in time with a recession and less fiscal space in the future.
If the 2008 financial crisis spelled the end of neoliberal economic policies that embraced markets and the risk that comes with them, the re-emergence of inflation and the buckling of the Chinese economy should put an end to the fallacy that policymakers can remove risk from the economy. Policies should instead focus on building resilience to future shocks by strengthening the social safety net to help the neediest.
We need to accept that downturns are the price of growth—companies fail, and markets go up and down—and stop trying to keep the economy booming at all times.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak had to leave the second game of a doubleheader at the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night after taking a pitch off his finger on a bunt attempt in the ninth inning.
Moniak, who was acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies at Tuesday's trade deadline in a deal for pitcher Noah Syndergaard, went for X-rays, and Angels interim manager Phil Nevin was not expecting good news.
"It's not looking good," Nevin said. "I'm crushed for him, but it's a part of the game."
Moniak, the top pick in the 2016 amateur draft, hit his second home run in three days before the injury. The 24-year-old outfielder also went deep on Thursday against the Oakland Athletics, but he began the day a .131 career hitter in 99 at-bats over 50 big league games.
The teams split Saturday's doubleheader, with the Mariners winning the opener 2-1 and the Angels taking the nightcap 7-1.

If you do not’re one of those people that thrive on crisis, fighting together with your lover is no fun. It’s deafening, upset and unpleasant. And it also absolutely sucks. But state it happens and you’re feeling terrible about any of it. Whenever battle is at long last more than and everyone is calming down, how will you make it appropriate? How do you make up together with your sweetheart? Men, below are a few tips to improve changeover from battling to adoring a lot much easier.
1. Blow down steam.
Don’t try to remedy the problem when you are however fuming. Likely, it is going to only generate another quarrel. Go seize a beer with a pal (but try not to discuss the fight with him), get coffee, go for a walk or smack the gym. Anything you would, be certain that you’re calm before engaging together with your girl once more.
2. Apologize.
You don’t have to apologize for whatever brought about the battle given that it might not have been the fault in the first place. But in any event, you need to apologize when it dating com promo codees to real fight. Apologize for raising your own sound or stating stuff you don’t actually mean. Just an apology â for whatever reason â is an excellent icebreaker.
3. Reevaluate.
Replay the entire battle in your thoughts. Try and view it as an outsider. Achieved it get out of hand? Did some one get bodily or scream obscenely noisy? Had been here taking and unnecessarily unkind things stated? One of the more important qualities of a relationship is interaction â specially communication during a fight. Sit-down with your sweetheart and mention speaking. Set boundaries: no throwing situations, no screeching, no obscenities, etc. and degree the playing field.
4. Do something extra thoughtful.
Sure, most of us have been aware of makeup sex, purchasing a bouquet of roses when you are when you look at the doghouse or high priced precious jewelry if that’s the method that you roll. But attempt getting much more emotional and considerate with regards to claiming “i’m very sorry.” Make the woman meal or if you’re useful, make her a birdhouse. Plant the girl some herb garden or write a poem. It does not must be expensive to mean much.
Whether or not it was a quarrel, spat, fight or a complete municipal conflict, making-up making use of the girl that you experienced requires some finesse. Very first, take care to blow down steam â get operating or see a movie. After your mind is clear, actually glance at the fight and exactly how it went down.

This just in in "not alarming at all" - the US has over the years lost three nuclear bombs, and they still have nott been found.
UNILAD reports that on January 17, 1966, two US military planes crashed in the air, making debris, shrapnel and cargo - including nuclear bombs fall across the Spanish village of Palomares and the Alboran Sea.
Three were eventually recovered on land, but one was lost at the bottom of the ocean.

Meanwhile, the publication says that another similar incident occurred on March 10, 1956, on a plane carrying weapons headed to Morocco that went missing, and on December 5, 1965, a navy plane was lost when it sank into the sea while being moved during a military exercise.
So those are the three missing weapons.

Mini
In recent times Bollywood hasn’t been able to deliver much in the genre. Attempts like Samay: When Time Strikes (2003), Murder 2 (2011), Mardaani 2 (2019) and Mrs Serial Killer (2020) have neither been box office hits nor were praised by the critics. The recent addition Ek Villian Returns also falls in the same category. So one wonders what makes a good serial killer movie? Here is what film critics have to say.
John Abraham and Arjun Kappor starrer Ek Villain Returns released last week on Friday. The movie in which Abraham plays a psychotic serial killer has been getting bad reviews from critics and all over social media for poor writing, execution and most importantly, not giving the audience the thrill of a serial killer movie. This addition to the already-struggling serial killer genre in Bollywood raises the big question — why has Bollywood not been able to produce a good serial killer movie?
The serial killer movie genre in Bollywood
When we look at the whole genre, it’s not like the industry has not produced good serial killer movies. For instance, Ashutosh Rana’s performance as Lajja Shankar Pandey in Sangharsh (1999) is still capable of haunting people because of the depth and horror that the actor portrayed through the character. Similarly, movies like Urmila Matondkar's Kaun (1999) and Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Raman Raghav 2.0 do justice to the genre.
But in recent times Bollywood hasn’t been able to deliver much in the genre. Attempts like Samay: When Time Strikes (2003), Murder 2 (2011), and Mrs Serial Killer (2020) have neither been box office hits nor were praised by the critics.
So one wonders what makes a good serial killer movie?
According to film critic and Co-Founder of High on Films, Shikhar Verma. in serial killer movies viewers enjoy sadistic acts of violence on the screen and when a person finds a reason for doing so, the pleasure is kind of enhanced, even if it seems morally incorrect. Hence a mix of providing the audience with what’s expected and what’s not expected is the best bet.
“One expects there to be some kind of reason behind a person going on a killing spree, but it becomes intriguing when a filmmaker like Kashyap turns it over and gives us no concrete reason for the kill in Raman Raghav. So, the film eventually takes a step out of the genre's comfort zone and becomes something else entirely,” said Verma.
This is a technique that worked well in the West with old classics like Psycho (1960) and new age shows like Mindhunter which takes the audience on a journey to the psyche of serial killers.
Almost all Bollywood movies tagged under the ambit of the serial killer genre in recent have had a hint of this technique. For instance, even Ek Villain Returns has an unexpected twist in the end, but these movies still don’t seem to work.
What does the Indian audience want?
“I think not over-populating a narrative with extremely juvenile and misleading twists would also help the genre. The thing I have noticed in the sub-continent when it comes to the genre is the dire need to surprise people with 'wtf' moments. But, these wtf moments have a wafer-thin timestamp and only work when the foreshadowing is done well,” added Verma.
If one goes to look at the Indian movies or the OTT shows that have worked for the Indian audience then a pattern comes into mind. A combination of good acting and good writing which is rooted in the Indianess is something that has worked. For instance in Sangharsh, Ashutosh Rana’s character is a Tantrik who sacrifices kids because of the belief of becoming immortal.
Tamil movie Ratsasan (2018) deals with a policeman hunting a psychotic killer and holds the narrative with gripping dialogues, haunting music and appropriate set locations to transport the audience and cause a sense of fear.
Another example is the OTT series Asur which ends in an unexpected twist and also holds the Indian milieu by mixing the antagonist with mythological facts. Details like this help the audience believe in the serial killer mythos and the world created through the story.
According to Debopriyaa Dutta, film critic at Slash Film half-baked stories that rely on exaggerated dramatics are bound to fail in this genre and that’s the reason Ek Villain movies do not work as they treat the subject in unserious gimmicky ways, with little to no understanding of the subject matter at hand.
What can Bollywood do?
“Bollywood could certainly take inspiration from Western media or look no further from home, as South Indian cinema has produced convincing films in the genre. For example, the Tamil-language thriller, Moodu Pani, takes a Hitchcockian route when it comes to building suspense, but roots it in experiences that are relatable to Indian audiences,” said Dutta.
According to critics, one thing that is common in the movie released as serial killer movies that don’t work is the lack of character development and over-resilence on twisted moments with little to no gravitas.
"The serial killer genre in Hindi is often inspired by either films or TV series from the West and so lacks the points of reference for our audience. The lengthy dialogue portions on forensics and jargon put them off. The mixing up of horror, ghosts and shamans with the killings dilutes the intensity of the serial killer genre," said film studies professor and filmmaker Uma Vangal
Freelance film critic Aakash Mishra, who has been in the industry for past 4 years, believes that Bollywood needs to work more on the build-up of investigations with twists and turns rather than trying to insert another theme of probably revenge or anything just to justify one’s actions.
According to Verma, investing time and effort in good writers, avoiding subjectifying and over-sexualizing actors, and getting rid of the songs that completely disrupt the flow of a movie and take you out of it instead of getting you invested are few things that filmmakers should focus on for the genre that remain a niche in terms of interest and potential in Bollywood.
“Moreover, I have realized that filmmakers don't focus on creating an atmosphere of dread and/or use cinema's more visual sensibilities to make something that creates images in the audience's mind,” added Verma.
Bollywood could approach the subject from a psychological point of view, attempting to work out why an antagonist could be potentially compelling to viewers, added Dutta.
Basically, the journey of Bollywood to make movies work in the serial killer genre is long but according to critics, it is something that can be done with the right approach, due justice to the cinematic experience and understanding what the Indian demographic wants.

Weight lifting named as best exercise for vegans
Lifting weights is the best form of exercise for people on a plant-based diet wanting to strengthen their bones, new research has found.
Veganism can be associated with lower bone density and increased risk of fractures, the researchers said, though little research has been done to establish forms of exercise which will best combat the issue.
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism on 4 August found that vegans who do resistance training once a week have better bone health than those who cycle, swim or do other forms of exercise.
The most beneficial forms of exercise include machine-work, lifiting free weights, or bodyweight resistance training.
For at least five years, the researchers studied data from 43 men and women on a plant-based diet and 45 men and women on omnivore diets.
The findings from the small-scale study reavealed that vegans who did resistance training had similar bone structure to omnivores.
Dr Christian Muschitz, of St. Vincent Hospital Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna in Austria, said: “People who adhere to a vegan lifestyle should perform resistance training on a regular basis to preserve bone strength.
“Veganism is a global trend with strongly increasing numbers of people worldwide adhering to a purely plant-based diet.
“Our study showed resistance training offsets diminished bone structure in vegan people when compared to omnivores.”
A separate study from the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) published in March 2021 also found that, on average, people following a vegan diet had lower ultrasound values compared to the other group, which indicates poorer bone health.
The Vegan Society estimated 600,000 people in the UK adhered to the diet in 2019, around 1.21 per cent of the population. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2693166866344/weight-lifting-named-as-best-exercise-for-vegans | 2022-08-07T09:26:36Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2693166866344/weight-lifting-named-as-best-exercise-for-vegans | false | 2 |

The easiest way to Bill Schmidt’s heart? Be in the same room.
No surprise gifts. No sweet nothings. Just be present, and wearing purple pinstripes. Because when the Rockies general manager gets a look at you in a Colorado uniform, there’s no turning back.
Bill Schmidt — D-
If only we all could find someone to love us like Schmidt loves his Rockies.
They may be last in the National League West with the third-worst run differential in the NL and most errors in all of Major League Baseball, but ol’ Bill just can’t quit these guys.
Instead, he keeps lining up extensions.
Yes, in the midst of a post-All Star break swoon in which his team lost 11 of 14 games, ending whatever small chance the Rockies had left of making the playoffs, Schmidt saw fit to extend 37-year-old closer Daniel Bard for two years and $19 million.
Then, after he was questioned about being the only GM who failed to execute a single trade at the deadline a few days later, Schmidt fired back that the Rockies were the only franchise to sign a player to an extension before the deadline.
Which, of course, wasn’t actually true.
But who can pay attention to such pesky details when Dinger is singing his sweet Siren Song?
The Grading the Week staff struggles to recall another general manager in the history of baseball so eager to hold on to a group of players who have achieved so little together.
We’re two months away from the Rockies putting the finishing touches on a fourth consecutive losing season. Yet in the last 12 months, Schmidt has extended catcher Elias Diaz (three years, $14.5 million), starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela (five years, $50.5 million), infielder Ryan McMahon (six years, $70 million) and starting pitcher Kyle Freeland (five years, $64.5 million).
Bard was the latest, if not the most head-scratching, extension handed out by Schmidt and Co.
To be fair: The right-hander has been a revelation for the Rockies this summer, posting a 2.04 ERA, 1.059 WHIP and 44 strikeouts in 39 2/3 innings entering Friday night, and converting 22 of 24 save opportunities.
But with the Rockies fading fast, it made all the sense in the world to deal the free-agent-to-be for prospects who could add depth to the team’s flagging farm system.
The Milwaukee Brewers, a team that actually has a legitimate shot at winning its own division, didn’t hesitate to trade their own closer (Josh Hader) when it became abundantly clear they were unlikely to retain his services following his final year of arbitration… in 2023.
Schmidt, meanwhile, opted against sending away someone he could’ve just as easily gotten back on that same two-year, $19 million deal after the dust settled this winter.
It’s not as if there would’ve been a bevy of suitors lining up to bid for Bard’s services once he hit the open market. As much as we love his incredible comeback story, he’s still a pitcher on the wrong side of 35.
Of course, we haven’t even broached the most obvious question: What good is a lights-out closer when the team he plays for can’t even give him consistent opportunities to, uh, close games?
If he’s wearing a ballcap with a silver “CR” emblazoned across the front, he’s too good for Schmidt to let go.

HAVANA — A fire set off by a lightning strike at an oil storage facility raged uncontrolled in the Cuban city of Matanzas, where four explosions and flames injured 121 people and left 17 firefighters missing. Cuban authorities said a unidentified body had been found late Saturday.
Firefighters and other specialists were still trying to quell the blaze at the Matanzas Supertanker Base, where the fire began during a thunderstorm Friday night, the Ministry of Energy and Mines tweeted. Authorities said about 800 people were evacuated from the Dubrocq neighborhood closest to the fire,
The government said it had asked for help from international experts in "friendly countries" with experience in the oil sector.
Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío said the U.S. government had offered technical help to quell the blaze. On his Twitter account, he said the "proposal is in the hands of specialists for the due coordination."
Minutes later, President Miguel Díaz-Canel thanked Mexico , Venezuela, Russia, Nicaragua, Argentina and Chile for their offers of help. A support flight from Mexico arrived Saturday night.
The official Cuban News Agency said lightning hit one tank, starting a fire, and the blaze later spread to a second tank. As military helicopters flew overhead dropping water on the blaze, dense column of black smoke billowed from the facility and spread westward more than 100 kilometers (62 miles) toward Havana.
Roberto de la Torre, head of fire operations in Matanzas, said firefighters were spraying water on intact tanks trying to keep them cool in hopes of preventing the fire from spreading.
Cuba's Health Ministry reported that 121 people were injured with five of them in critical condition. The Presidency of the Republic said the 17 people missing were "firefighters who were in the nearest area trying to prevent the spread."
Later Saturday, the Health Ministry said in a statement that a body had been found and officials were trying to identify it.
The accident comes as Cuba struggles with fuel shortages. There was no immediate word on how much oil had burned or was in danger at the storage facility, which has eight giant tanks that hold oil used to fuel electricity generating plants.
"I was in the gym when I felt the first explosion. A column of smoke and terrible fire rose through the skies," resident Adiel Gonzalez told The Associated Press by phone. "The city has a strong smell of sulfur."
He said some people also decided to leave the Versailles district, which is a little farther from the tank farm than Dubrocq.
Many ambulances, police and fire engines were seen in the streets of Matanzas, a city with about 140,000 inhabitants that is on Matnzas Bay.
Local meteorologist Elier Pila showed satellite images of the area with a dense plume of black smoke moving from the point of the fire westward and reaching east to Havana.
"That plume can be close to 150 kilometers long," Pila wrote on his Twitter account.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project and Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development have filed a lawsuit against the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), asking the court to “declare arbitrary and illegal, the N5 million imposed on Trust Television, Multichoice Nigeria Limited, Nigerian Television Authority-Startimes Limited and others over their documentaries on terrorism in the country.”
Joined in the suit as Defendants are the Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, and the National Broadcasting Commission.
The NBC had last week imposed the fines on the media houses, claiming that their documentaries “glorified the activities of bandits and undermines national security in Nigeria,” and contravene the provisions of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code.
The PUNCH reports that Trust TV was fined over the broadcast of the documentary titled “Nigeria’s Banditry: The Inside Story”, which was aired by the station on March 5, 2022.
The Trust TV management, in a statement to The PUNCH last Wednesday, noted that the fine was communicated to the media firm in a letter signed by the NBC Director General, Balarabe Shehu Illela.
Illela had said the fine was imposed on Trust TV because its broadcast of the said documentary contravened sections of the National Broadcasting Code.
But in the suit number FHC/L/CS/1486/2022 filed last Friday at the Federal High Court, Lagos, SERAP, and the CJID are seeking: “an order setting aside the arbitrary and illegal fines of N5 million and any other penal sanction unilaterally imposed by the NBC on these media houses simply for carrying out their constitutional duties.”
According to the plaintiffs: “The NBC and Mohammed have not shown that the documentaries by the media houses would impose a specific risk of harm to a legitimate state interest that outweighs the public interest in the information provided by the documentaries.”
The plaintiffs said: “The documentaries by these independent media houses pose no risk to any definite interest in national security or public order.”
The plaintiffs also said, “It is inconsistent and incompatible with the Nigerian Constitution 1999 [as amended] to invoke the grounds of ‘glorifying terrorism and banditry’ as justifications for suppressing access to information of legitimate public interest that does not harm national security.”
The plaintiffs also said, “The documentaries by the independent media houses are in the public interest, and punishing the media houses simply for raising public awareness about these issues would have a disproportionate and chilling effect on their work, and on the work of other journalists and Nigerians.”
According to the plaintiffs, the action by the NBC and Mohammed is arbitrary, illegal, and unconstitutional, as it is contrary to section 39 of the Nigerian Constitution, and international human rights treaties including the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, which Nigeria has ratified.
The suit filed on behalf of the plaintiffs by their lawyers Kolawole Oluwadare and Ms Adelanke Aremo, read in part: “A fine is a criminal sanction and only the court is empowered by the Constitution to impose it. Fine imposed by regulatory agencies like the NBC without recourse to the courts is unfair, illegal, and unconstitutional.”
“The grounds of ‘glorifying terrorism and banditry’ used as the bases for sanctioning the media houses are entirely contrary to constitutional and international standards on freedom of expression and access to information.”
“Imposing any fine whatsoever without due process of law is arbitrary, as it contravenes the principles of nemo judex in causa sua which literally means one cannot be a judge in his own cause and audi alteram partem which means no one should be condemned unheard.”
“Article 19 (1) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights establishes the right to freedom of opinion without interference. Article 19(2) establishes Nigeria’s obligations to respect ‘the right to freedom of expression,’ which includes the freedom to seek, receive and impart information, regardless of frontiers.”
“Under article 19 (3), restrictions on the right to freedom of expression must be ‘provided by law’, and necessary ‘for respect of the rights or reputations of others’ or ‘for the protection of national security or of public order, or of public health and morals.”
“Although article 19(3) recognises ‘national security’ as a legitimate aim, the Human Rights Council, the body charged with monitoring implementation of the Covenant, has stressed ‘the need to ensure that the invocation of national security is not used unjustifiably or arbitrarily to restrict the right to freedom of opinion and expression.’”
“The grounds for imposing fines on these independent media houses fail to meet the requirements of legality, necessity, and proportionality.”
“The requirement of necessity also implies an assessment of the proportionality of the grounds, with the aim of ensuring that the excuse of ‘glorifying terrorism and banditry’ and ‘national security’ are not used as a pretext to unduly intrude upon the rights to freedom of expression and access to information.”
No date has been fixed for the hearing of the suit. | https://punchng.com/trust-tv-serap-sues-buhari-over-n5m-fine/ | 2022-08-07T10:04:22Z | https://punchng.com/trust-tv-serap-sues-buhari-over-n5m-fine/ | false | 2 |

The India women's hockey team beat the defending champions New Zealand 2-1 in the shootout to win a bronze medal after the match ended 1-1 in full time.
India conceded a penalty corner with less than 30 seconds to go for the final hooter, as the match went into a shootout after Olivia Merry's equaliser. India, however, held their nerves in the shootout to emerge winners.
Coming off their loss to Australia in a controversial semi-final, India showed the intent to wrap up their campaign with a win and earn a podium finish.
Salima Tete's goal gave India the lead and they led 1-0 at halftime, paving the way for an entertaining second half. Neha Goyal almost doubled the lead after the break, but good defending by New Zealand prevented the Indians from consolidating their position.
New Zealand have had to do a lot of defending and they've done quite well to remain disciplined until that Tete's goal.

Russia's Chubais discharged from Italian hospital after treatment -report
MILAN, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Anatoly Chubais, the former privatisation tsar of post-Soviet Russia who quit his post as a Kremlin special envoy due to the war in Ukraine, has been discharged from a hospital in Italy after treatment, an Italian daily reported.
Two sources close to Chubais, 67, told Reuters on Aug. 1 that he was in intensive care in Europe with a rare immune disorder.
According to the sources, Chubais believed he was suffering from Guillain-Barre syndrome, a disease caused by the immune system damaging the peripheral nervous system. Some media and opposition activists had speculated he could have been poisoned.
Results of toxicological tests were not yet available but Chubais responded to treatment "so doctors are certain" they were dealing with Guillain-Barre, Italian daily La Repubblica reported on its website.
"He feels better," La Repubblica said, adding Chubais was discharged in the late morning of Saturday from Mater Olbia hospital on the island of Sardinia.
It said Chubais walked out of the hospital without assistance and left for Frankfurt in Germany to spend time in a rehab clinic, according to the report.
The hospital did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Chubais, who once served as former Russian president Boris Yeltsin's chief of staff, was President Vladimir Putin's special representative for ties with international organisations before his resignation.
Reuters reported on March 23, almost a month after Russia invaded Ukraine, that Chubais had quit his post and left the country.
The most powerful of a group of Russian economists who sought to cement the transition to capitalism after the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union, Chubais sold off some of Russia's biggest industrial assets in the 1990s.

Amit Panghal beat Kieran MacDonald of England 5-0 in the 51kg boxing final to win gold at the Commonwealth Games on Sunday. This is now India’s second boxing gold at this CWG; Nitu Ghanghas beat England’s Demie-Jade to win gold in the women’s 48kg boxing.
In an open bout, Amit landed some stinging jabs on his English opponent and subjugated him. All judges unanimously awarded the round to the Indian pugilist.
Panghal sealed the second round too, but one judge ruled in favour of MacDonald. Panghal’s masterclass ensured he landed a win with an unanimous decision.
Earlier, Panghal had advanced to his second consecutive Commonwealth Games boxing final by beating Patrick Chinyemba of Zambia 5-0 in a unanimous decision.
Chinyemba began on an aggressive note, landing a barrage of punches on the world championship silver medallist. Trailing 2-3 after the opening round, Panghal dug deep to effect hooks and jabs and take the round.
The final three minutes were keenly contested, with both pugilists trying to leave an impression. But his performance in the third round was enough to earn him a 5-0 ruling in his favour.
Panghal had trumped Namri Berri of Vanuatu in his Round-of-16 bout, defeating him 5-0 in an unanimous decision. He replicated that scoreline in his quarterfinal against Scotland's Lennon Mulligan, assuring himself of a medal. | https://sportstar.thehindu.com/commonwealth-games/news/amit-panghal-wins-gold-in-51kg-boxing-at-commonwealth-games-cwg-2022-birmingham/article65740870.ece | 2022-08-07T10:43:28Z | https://sportstar.thehindu.com/commonwealth-games/news/amit-panghal-wins-gold-in-51kg-boxing-at-commonwealth-games-cwg-2022-birmingham/article65740870.ece | true | 1 |
MUIRFIELD, Scotland (AP) — Ashleigh Buhai surged into a five-shot lead at the Women’s British Open after shooting a 7-under 64 in the third round on Saturday.
Now she just has to find a way to finish off for her first major victory.
The South African also led this tournament in 2019 at Woburn after the second round but finished fifth, her best result at a major.
Buhai is in a much stronger position at Muirfield after a round that included eight birdies before a lone bogey on the last hole, giving her a 14-under total of 199.
Five of those birdies came on the first seven holes but perhaps the most impressive was on the par-5 17th, when she chipped in from off the green after hitting her tee shot into the rough.
It was the best round of the week despite the wind picking up to blow stronger gusts than during the first two days.
“To be able to shoot that score in those conditions, you have to be able to pat yourself on the back, so much so that I thought I was 6 under, not 7,” Buhai said. “So, I was 8 under playing the last, which I think I have to look back, is probably one of the best rounds of golf I’ve ever played.”
Hinako Shibuno of Japan (66) and second-round leader In Gee Chun of South Korea (70) were tied for second. Seven-time major winner Inbee Park and Madelene Sagstrom of Sweden were another two shots back.
Buhai has three victories on the European Tour but has never won an LPGA Tour event. But she’s never had a five-shot lead going into the final round, either.
She’s doing her best not to look too far ahead, though.
“I’m most proud of the way I just stayed focused and calm (today). That’s all I try to control. I wasn’t thinking of the outcome,” Buhai said. “I only saw a leaderboard for the first time I think when I was on 12, no, 13. And then I just said to myself, ‘OK, that’s fine, you’re in a good spot. Check back in with yourself now and concentrate on what you’re trying to do.’”

US stocks remain mixed amid earnings, economic updates
NEW YORK — (AP) — Stocks were mixed in morning trading on Wall Street Thursday as investors continued to review the latest updates on the economy and corporate earnings.
The S&P 500 fell 0.1% as of 10:16 a.m. Eastern. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 52 points, or 0.2%, to 32,760 and the Nasdaq rose 0.1%.
Oil prices edged lower and weighed on energy stocks. Exxon Mobil fell 1.8%. A mix of retailers and industrial companies made solid gains. Best Buy rose 1.9% and Deere rose 1.6%.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 2.69% from 2.74% late Wednesday.
Stocks have meandered week, leaving major indexes mostly higher. August's gain follows a standout July that was the S&P 500's best month since late 2020. But markets remain volatile as investors try to determine the economy's path ahead amid the highest inflation in four decades and efforts from central banks to fight higher prices.
Earnings remain in focus on Wall Street as investors look for more clues on how inflation is impacting various industries. Twinkie maker Hostess fell 5% after giving investors a disappointing profit forecast for the year. Bleach and consumer products maker Clorox fell 4.2% after also announcing a weak earnings forecast.
Companies have been raising prices on everything from food to clothing to help offset the impact of inflation on supply chains, but the pressure has become too much for many consumers. A surge in gasoline prices throughout the year worsened inflation and prompted spending cutbacks.
The Federal Reserve has been aggressively raising interest rates to try and slow the economy and temper inflation, along with other central banks. The Bank of England on Thursday initiated its biggest rate hike in more than a quarter century.
The Fed's policy has investors concerned that the central bank could hit the brakes too hard and veer the economy into a recession.
A bright point in the broader economy has been a strong employment market. New data from the Labor Department on Thursday showed the number of Americans applying for jobless benefits last week rose in-line with expectations, as the number of unemployed continues to rise modestly.
The latest data follows updates earlier this week showing that job openings remain at record highs. On Friday, the Labor Department delivers its July jobs report, which is expected to show some signs of tightening.
Investors are closely watching the latest jobs data to gauge whether any tightening in the employment market might prompt the Fed to eventually ease up on its interest rate hikes, potentially lessening the chance of the central bank bringing on a recession.

Sunday 003 Japan Professional League Shonan Ocean VS Sapporo Consadole
Shonan Ocean has achieved 6 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses in the league this season, ranking 13th in the standings. In the previous game, Shonan Ocean faced Iwata Joy away from home and lost to the opponent with a score of 0-1. Shonan Marine is without a win in 3 consecutive games, and only got 2 draws and 1 loss.
Sapporo Consadole ranked 14th in the standings with 5 wins, 10 draws and 8 losses in the league this season, including 2 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away games, and the away performance was poor. In the last game, Sapporo Consadole faced Nagoya Whale at home and drew with the opponent with a score of 2-2. Recently, they have not won 5 games in a row, only 2 draws and 3 losses, and the state is very sluggish. .
The Asian index initially gave Shonan Ocean -0.25, and the three data in the European index did not fluctuate much. In the historical confrontation, Sapporo Consadole and Shonan still want to remain unbeaten in recent confrontations, and neither side is very good in terms of ranking and status. There is a big gap, this game is optimistic that the two sides will shake hands and make peace, and Sapporo can at least remain unbeaten.
Prediction: Handicap: 1:1 1:2
Sunday 006 Korea Professional League Jeonbuk Hyundai VS Ulsan Hyundai
Jeonbuk Hyundai got 13 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses with a record of 13 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses. A total of 31 goals were scored and 21 goals were conceded, with an average of 1.29 goals and 0.87 goals conceded per game. Jeonbuk Hyundai has always been the dominant team of the Korean K League, but in recent years, it has encountered a strong challenge from Ulsan Hyundai, and the situation this season is even more severe. Although the state of Jeonbuk Hyundai seems to have become more and more stable before, and the points gap with Ulsan Hyundai is gradually decreasing, it was unexpected that they lost to Gangwon FC in the last round. Now, with only about a quarter of the regular season remaining, Jeonbuk Hyundai is still 6 points behind Ulsan Hyundai. Although it is said that there will be a championship play-off, if the regular season is too far behind, I want to play in the play-off. It will be very difficult to achieve a counterattack again in China, so this battle of Tianwangshan is particularly important. I believe that Jeonbuk Hyundai’s desire to win will definitely be very strong.
Ulsan Hyundai has been anticlimactic in recent seasons, often leading the regular season, but inexplicably collapsed in the championship play-off stage and eventually missed the league championship. This season, Ulsan Hyundai has been leading for a long time in the regular season, and the lead is now as much as 6 points. Especially if they lose this game, their lead will be directly reduced to 3 points, so the prospect of the championship will become blurred.
In terms of data, Jeonbuk Hyundai was initially given the handicap, and the market adjusted to Ulsan Hyundai handicap, but the market is high, and the European index is also consistent with Jeonbuk Hyundai. This game is playing at home, and Jeonbuk Hyundai is playing Ulsan Hyundai. Still have experience, this game is optimistic that Jeonbuk Hyundai can make a difference at home again.
Prediction: Handicap: 1:1 2:1 2:2
