Sri Lanka In-form batsman Dinesh Chandimal scored a defiant century to lift Sri Lanka to 226 all out against a persistent Australian bowling attack in the third one-day international in Dambulla on Sunday.
Sri Lanka, looking to give retiring batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan a winning farewell, suffered from regular wicket-fall after electing to bat first as they were bowled out in 49.2 overs.
Pace spearhead Mitchell Starc struck in his very first over to send opener Danushka Gunathilaka, who was clean bowled, trudging back to the pavilion for five.
Opener Dilshan and wicketkeeper-batsman Chandimal, who scored 102, then put together a 73-run partnership for the third wicket to steady the Sri Lankan innings.
The duo got runs at a brisk pace on what looked like a good batting wicket at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, which was hosting its first day-night match in six years.
The 39-year-old Dilshan, who announced on Thursday that he was retiring after the Dambulla ODI, scored a 65-ball 42 before falling to leg-spinner Adam Zampa. Dilshan, who recorded 10290 runs in 330 ODIs with 22 hundreds and 47 half-centuries.
Chandimal, who has recorded five half-centuries and a ton in the last seven ODI innings, registered his fourth ODI century in his 117th match to keep the hosts in the hunt after they were reduced to 178 for eight.
Zampa led the Australian bowling charge with three wickets while Starc, James Faulkner and John Hastings took two each.
The five-match ODI series is tied at 1-1. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/28/chandimal-ton-lifts-sri-lanka-to-226-in-3rd-odi/ | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/14141967866ebfe00ad38ae543e22def6f6bcd1e0a9b9e8a88855a6132a2b4fd.json |

Talking to APP, a PHF official said players from five to ten countries will be participating in the league. “The most likely countries’ players to participate in the league are from Argentina, Germany, New Zealand and Australia,” he said.
“The event will be staged in Lahore, Faisalabad and Gojra. Now, we are waiting for permission (NOC) from the Punjab Government and for that we had already written a letter to them. We require a NOC from the Punjab Government to invite the foreign players here,” he said.
He said “we are making all-out efforts to initiate our first league before the end of this year and we are making contacts with players of different hockey playing nations”.
He said besides providing financial support to us, the league will prove a landmark in regaining the lost glory of the national game.
“We are sure it will help rebuild our supremacy in the game internationally,” he said.
He said that since Pakistan has not been performing well in the international arena, the league would therefore increase the domestic players’ confidence by playing with foreigners.
“There would be at least five to six teams of different cities including foreign players.”
Responding to a question, he said Indian players would not be invited for the league. He further said that the camps of national Under18, senior women and senior men’s team are currently underway in Islamabad and Lahore.
“We are working on the U18 players in order to groom them for future and they would be sent to participate in international tournaments annually,” he said. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/30/more-than-30-intl-players-to-participate-pakistans-hockey-league/ | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/21ac408de59fd9f76d88cc32885ba72eb37ff7b4963cc196958a3f8688134d2c.json |

The visiting team held an informative session called `Google for Publishers’ and discussed their monetization products, AdSense and AdMob.
The session took place at the IBA main campus. The large audience comprised of students, writers, bloggers, web developers/designers and app developers attended the event. The talk was Google’s first ever tech-talk in Pakistan.
An IBA statement said that the speakers from Google were two bright young Pakistanis, Waqas Burney, Manager (Web) and Ahmed Nawaz, Manager (Apps) who have been working for the South Asia region, Google Singapore for over a year.
Initiating the tech-talk, Burney informed the audience that the World of Google publishing has users, advertisers and AdSense facilitates publishers earn money in a seamless manner.
Anything from 100 to 50,000 dollars can be generated monthly.
A thorough introduction to the two monetization products Google AdSense, Google AdMob followed. There are 2,000,000 plus members on AdSense and 1,000,000 plus members on AdWords’. Through AdSense you can make money, if you’re a YouTube blogger, publisher etc. and only 20% publishers are brought on board by Google as they are stringent about selecting the best.
Basically AdSense connects advertisers to users so that users can make money. Leading organizations like Dawn and Jang are working with Google in this domain. Placing of advertisements on various web content is how bloggers and publishers earn good money. The more traffic on your site, the more revenue you earn. One must first
concentrate on generating traffic to your website and then think about monetizing it. Useful tips on making the most of AdSense were shared by Mr. Burney.
Some heartwarming case studies in form of videos were also shared with the audience to show the impact AdSense has made in the lives of ordinary people by empowering them financially.
Google tool, AdMob was introduced by Mr. Ahmed. He shed light on what makes a great app and what do users require in an app. The more user friendly and functional the app, the more popular it will be. Apps like Angry Bird, Muslim Pro and Uber are popular for that very reason.
The first ever tech-talk by Google in Pakistan proved to be successful as 1,100 plus registrations were received for the session.
The audience consisting of bloggers, web developers and publishers went home with a lot of information and asked many insightful questions, which were answered intricately by the dedicated Google team.
Dr. Shakeel Khoja, Faculty Computer Science said that the tech-talk was a promising initiative of its kind and he hoped that Google will hold such informative sessions for the Pakistani youth in the future, he thanked the Google team profusely with mementos from IBA Karachi. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/30/google-team-from-singapore-visits-iba/ | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/c0ffacd2b4e9e1204fea95a03a1c3b2d2ca320209ab01c6dd457503f31398fc9.json |

Seven athletes, including gold medal winners from the Rio Olympics, led group exercises with the soldiers and planted trees at Moscow’s Hmeimim airbase outside the coastal Syrian city of Latakia, state television showed.
Fencers Sofia Velikaya, Timur Safin, Artur Akhmatkhuzin, Alexei Cheremisinov, who all won gold in team events in Rio, were among the group.
“We understood that we were flying to see our heroes, our defenders,” pole vault star Yelena Isinbayeva told state television.
“We had the desire to (…) support our troops, to tell them that we love them, that we are close and that we are proud.”
Isinbayeva did not compete in Rio because of a ban against Russian track and field athletes over evidence of state-sponsored doping and mass corruption in the sport.
But the 34-year-old nonetheless travelled to Rio where she was elected a new member of the International Olympic Committee’s athletes commission.

Russia, which also operates a naval facility in the Syrian city of Tartus, began its bombing campaign in support of leader Bashar al-Assad in September 2015, a move that helped shore up his regime’s crumbling forces.
Russia is reportedly planning to expand its airbase in Syria into a permanent military facility. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/29/russian-olympians-visit-moscows-airbase-in-syria/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/ad1a5bb44a856ab43deead6dd7dc35543c2359c6c31946c9aa79db48acd9c5f4.json |

The elements have deprived nationals of basic facilities to build their own castles in foreign countries and transferring national assets to off-shore companies. He clarified that Pakistan could not be a prosper state until the gang of dacoits were staying on parliament benches.
Sirajul Haq strongly criticised Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) supremo Altaf Hussain over raising anti-Pakistan slogans. He said the MQM head was reminding history of Mir Jaffer and Mir Saddiq who made such treason acts during British era of South Asia.
He demanded the British government to hand over MQM supremo to Pakistan where he will be befittingly dealt over raising anti-Pakistan slogans. He said Altaf Hussain became symbol of hatred for Karachittes.
The JI Ameer was addressing a crowded public event, Takmeel-e-Pakistan March, organised on the 75th foundation day of Jamaat-e-Islami at Kachehri Chowk in Multan.
He slammed current rulers over delay in probe of Panama Papers, saying that owners of off-shore companies were now arguing with endangered democracy in the country when they felt for ready-to-be platform of ruthless accountability of their corruption bids.

He questioned the government regarding expenditure of national funds allocated for South Punjab where the national were suffering severe shortage of water besides non-provision of educational and health facilities.
The JI Ameer echoed strong voice for establishment of fully-authorised commission to hold ruthless and indiscriminate accountability of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and later Sirajul Haq, Asif Ali Zardari and Imran Khan. The commission should be fully authorised to declare strict punishments to the culprits found guilty in corruption.
Siraj said that evildoing of rulers turned Karachi alias “City of Lights” into Karbala, whereas, Indian agents were left free handed to target innocent citizens in Quetta, Peshawar and other cities. He clarified that rulers have no right to be in parliament if they could not ensure security of nationals.
The JI Ameer criticised the government over failure in raising strong voice on international platforms against Indian Prime Minister even after confession of Narendra Modi for state involvement for separation of East Pakistan and spreading horrific violence in occupied Kashmir. He clarified that nationals wanted a country with full implementation of Shariah laws, supremacy of Quran, where nobody could deprived common man from his basic rights.

The survey has revealed new insights into automotive sector including people’s buying and selling habits, patterns and preferences.
The survey conducted by PakWheels.com was participated by more than 11000 individuals from all age groups.
It revealed that 75% of drivers on Pakistani roads are breaking law by not complying with Provincial Motor Vehicles Ordinance which mandatorily requires every car in Pakistan to be insured.
Around 24 % out of respondents drive cars without a license in Pakistan with 41 % of them being even below the age of 21 years, the survey said and added that only 25 % of Pakistanis have their cars insured, which is primarily because they are bank financed and insurance is mandatory for such cars. The number could go further low if insurance was not mandatory for financed cars.
While the violation of insurance specific law could be attributed to lack of knowledge about this ordinance, the fact that significant number of drivers are also driving without a license points to a deeper issue at societal level.
Survey further validated that Toyota Corolla is the most preferred car of Pakistan followed by Honda City, Honda Civic, Suzuki Mehran and Suzuki Cultus respectively.
As expected, the market is still dominated by Big-3 brands Suzuki, Toyota and Honda. The anticipated entry of other auto manufacturers in Pakistan, including Nissan, Datsun, Renault,
Volkswagen etc. in the near future could give a really tough time to the Big 3.
The survey has also shed light onto car buying habits of Pakistanis with 60 % of the respondents buying used cars and 40 % buying new cars.
Though auto financing has seen rapid growth over last 2 years, yet according to the survey, only 22 % of the new car owners and 5 % of the used car owners purchased through auto financing or loan. These numbers give a clear indication that banks will witness significant growth in auto financing in the coming days.
While safety, comfort and other features are top of list when it comes to consumer preferences when buying a car in developed markets like US, Europe, etc., the survey revealed that Pakistani customers still consider fuel efficiency and resale value far more important than safety and other features.
This could be one of the reasons that certain mandatory safety features like Airbags in western markets are missing from majority of the locally assembled vehicles. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/28/around-74-of-drivers-listen-radio-while-driving-survey/ | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/aa14c7b4a6b98f16f966b672b0c3c716cd8a6a13308b5480d74e4ad2feb10d2f.json |

Addressing a big public meeting here on Monday, he said that Pakistan had no option except friendship with Afghanistan for foiling India’s designs.
Sirajul Haq said that most of the Balochistan people were traders as there were no factories in the province. He said that thousands of people, including respectable women, on both sides of the border crossed over to the other side daily for trade and jobs. Due to the closure of the gate, they had been lining up on both sides awaiting its opening.
The JI chief said that the Pak- Afghan border was not like the Indo- Pak border. The Pak- India border was an ideological barrier whereas the Pak- Afghan border was simply for administrative purposes. He said that Pakistan had ideological differences with India but Pakistan and Afghanistan were linked through the everlasting bond of Islam.
Sirajul Haq said that the opening of the Pak- Afghan friendship gate was essential for ending misgivings on both sides and also to foil India’s conspiracies in the region.
He said that Chaman was a frit growing area and most of the people here were associated with the trade of fruits and vegetables. He said that due to the closure of the gate, hundreds of trucks loaded with fruit, vegetables and other food items were lining up on both sides of the border for the last twelve days and the loaded items were rotting, causing heavy losses.
He said the closure of the Friendship gate had added to the deprivations of the Balochistan people but the government and the security agencies were not giving any thought to the issue. He stressed upon the Interior Minister to immediately attend to the issue.
Speaking on corruption, the JI chief said that the attitude of the Prime Minister was the main hurdle in Panama leaks probe. He said that as the Panama leaks issue was being dragged longer, the public demand for ruthless accountability was getting stronger. He said that as and when there was demand for accountability, the ruling elite would shout that democracy was in danger.
He said that the ruling junta was the main obstacle in the supremacy of the law and the constitution because it was afraid it would be the first to fall in the grip of the law. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/29/sirajul-haq-demands-re-opening-of-pak-afghan-friendship-gate/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/f69846674b48fe337ee57a2d49f6af30e8356f249954b50de239d1c424e4ea9e.json |

Investors have been piling into the greenback since Fed boss Janet Yellen hinted last week that the world’s top economy may be strong enough to withstand higher borrowing costs.
She did not supply a timeframe, but Yellen’s remarks boosted speculation a move could come before year’s end.
The case for a rate hike — a plus for the dollar — won more support Tuesday as US consumer confidence in August sat at its highest level in almost a year.
On Tuesday the Fed’s vice chairman Stanley Fischer told Bloomberg TV that any movement in rates was dependent on data, adding that “employment is very close to full employment”.
Investors’ focus is now on Friday’s jobs creation report, which could be pivotal in the Fed’s decision-making ahead of next month’s policy meeting, although there are some reservations about whether a move will be made then.
“The Fed’s more upbeat mood and a summer of record highs on Wall Street have boosted the US dollar’s yield appeal,” Sean Callow, a senior currency strategist at Westpac Banking, told Bloomberg News.
“Payrolls is certainly very important, though there are strong indications that seasonal factors will ensure the headline reading will not provide the Fed with the slam dunk it needs for a September hike.” | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/31/dollar-holds-gains-on-fed-rate-hike-bets/ | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/24df2fa52b761c005ea7f89577d99eebf1cedb985d02a7c5571c0db7d1ba72fb.json |

The eclipse would begin at 11:13 PST and end at 17:01 PST while the eclipse magnitude would be 0.9736, an official of Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) told APP.
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon appears smaller than the Sun as it passes centrally across the solar disk and a bright ring, or annulus, of sunlight remains visible during the eclipse.
The magnitude of the eclipse would be 0.9736, he said adding that total Annular Phase would begin at 12:21 PST and end at 15:53PST.The greatest eclipse would be at 14:08 PST.
The partial eclipse would begin at 12:18 PST and end at 15:56 PST, he informed.
Health experts advised that sun can be viewed safely with the naked eye only during the few brief seconds or minutes of a total solar eclipse.
Partial eclipses, annular eclipses, and the partial phases of total eclipses are never safe to watch without taking special precautions, they said.
Even when 99% of the Sun’s surface is obscured during the partial phases of a total eclipse, the remaining photospheric crescent is intensely bright and cannot be viewed safely without eye protection.
Do not attempt to observe the partial or annular phases of any eclipse with the naked eye. Failure to use appropriate filtration may result in permanent eye damage or blindness, they cautioned | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/31/solar-annular-eclipse-to-be-occured-on-thursday/ | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/88f2a9aa602a3962b7b70b468cd69566679858ed06186b2d3978e805da07d68b.json |

He was talking to media persons at the Lahore airport on return from Saudi Arabia after performing Umrah. JI Foreign Affairs chief Abdul Ghaffar Aziz, had accompanied him in the visit.
Sirajul Haq said that the terrorist attack at the holy city of Madina and other Saud cities had caused great shock to every believer and the whole Muslim world was aggrieved.
He said the security of the Haramain Sharifain was the responsibility of the entire Muslim world. He said that the Muslim Ummah would have to unite and adopt a joint strategy for its security. He said that OIC was a dead horse which could not be relied upon. He said it was the responsibility of the Muslim rulers to face the hostile forces in their countries to restore peace in the Muslim world.
The JI chief reiterated that if the accounts of the governments of Nawaz Sharif, Musharraf and Zardari were audited, Pakistan could become a corruption free state.
He said the JI wanted that accountability should begin from Nawaz Sharif and continue uninterrupted, and added that some five to six thousand corrupt people would have to be sacrificed to achieve this goal. The corrupt elements sitting in the ruling party or the opposition should not be allowed to escape, he added.
Sirajul Haq said that a ruthless and indiscriminate accountability was imperative before the next elections in order to eliminate corruption failing which the coterie of the corrupt would return to the corridors of power with the power of their wealth.
Besides, he said, the Election Commission must be strengthened and made truly independent and its efficiency should be improved.
He said the JI had begun its campaign against corruption a few months back and by now, the slogan of Corruption Free Pakistan was on every tongue. He said that the JI would hold a walk against corruption in Rawalpindi on July 24.
He appealed to the federal and the provincial governments to extend immediate help to the rain affected people in Chitral.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Awami Tehrik (PAT) chairman, Dr Tahirul Qadri, has greeted JI chief , Senator Sirajul Haq, on performing Umrah and Aitkaf at the Holy Kaaba.

“I have accepted the invitation of President Enrique Pena Nieto, of Mexico, and look very much forward to meeting him tomorrow,” Trump posted on Twitter.
Mexico’s presidential office confirmed Trump’s visit, posting its own tweet in Spanish to say the billionaire New York real estate tycoon “has accepted the invitation and will meet tomorrow privately with the President @EPN.”
Pena Nieto’s office said in a statement that he had sent invitations to Trump as well as to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, “which were received on good terms by their respective campaign teams.”
Trump has routinely assailed Mexican immigrants who illegally cross the border into the United States, and he has made hardline immigration policies, including calls for deportations, a key plank of his campaign.
A sudden international trip by a US presidential candidate would be a logistical and security nightmare on such short notice.
But Trump could be sensing an opportunity in the visit, as he mulls whether to soften his positions on immigration, in particular his call early in his campaign to deport some 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the shadows in the United States. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/31/trump-to-visit-mexico-wednesday-meet-its-president/ | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/ef10c18c66a11fcac48846b4470115d608eba33347977564dd95febe1b27c3cf.json |

Both main contracts tumbled Monday after Federal Reserve boss Janet Yellen indicated a possible US rate hike this year, sending the greenback rallying and making crude more expensive to holders of other currencies.
Investors moved in to pick up bargains Tuesday and at about 0400 GMT, US benchmark West Texas Intermediate rose 21 cents, or 0.45 percent, to $47.19 while Brent was 13 cents, or 0.26 percent, up at $49.39.
Attention is now on the release of US jobs data Friday — which should give an idea about the Fed’s plans for rates — before Russia and OPEC hold talks in Algeria to discuss the oversupply crisis that has dented prices for years.
“It’s probably natural to see some bounce after yesterday’s percent fall,” said Bernard Aw, market strategist at IG Markets in Singapore.
“As oil approaches the upper end of the $40-50 range, we need confirmation that oil majors are heading towards an agreement to stabilise the market for oil prices to push higher.”
The commodity has rallied in August on hopes Moscow and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries will find an agreement to limit production. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/30/oil-edges-back-in-asia-after-sharp-losses/ | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/bdd21419907658c27ef58a6034e4ed4a5e3d8b2682936479bd18bc57db2bc139.json |

“I have decided to send these parliamentarians for fighting the Kashmir cause in different parts of the world. These special envoys have strength of the people of Pakistan, prayers from the Kashmiri people across the Line of Control, mandate of the parliament and support from the government” the prime minister said.
“I am standing behind these special envoys to ensure their toil for highlighting the Kashmir cause resonates across the world so that I can shake the collective conscience of the international community during my address at the UN this September,” he said.
He said Pakistan would remind the United Nations of its long-held promise of self-determination to the Kashmiri people and would make it clear to India that it was them that had approached the United Nations several decades back on Kashmir dispute but not fulfilling its promise.
“Generation after generation of Kashmiris have seen only broken pledges and ruthless oppression,” the prime minister said.
He emphasised that this anniversary of the UN ought to be a catalyst, spurring the body into action.
“The Kashmir dispute is the most persistent failure of the United Nations; the United Nations must establish its relevance.
We cannot relent from the Kashmir cause by any stretch of imagination,” the prime minister reiterated. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/27/pm-nominates-22-mps-as-envoys-to-highlight-indian-brutalities-in-iok-across-world/ | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/f287b627e75bc71223e0f71c304f51cf9c46fb74a69aac39c4c4917442990283.json |

A police source told Russian new agencies that the victims were likely migrants from former Soviet republics and that the warehouse belonged to a local printing company.
Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin wrote on Twitter that the city would probe the incident.
The cause of the blaze remains unknown. A criminal investigation was launched to determine whether it erupted due to arson or negligence. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/27/at-least-16-dead-in-moscow-warehouse-fire-ministry/ | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/f39175833a77126b683de91da77db24976d16e8c8bfa4bc5888fc1967fbf96fa.json |

“Vladimir Putin’s long-delayed visit to Japan will take place in December,” Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov told reporters. “The time and date have already been agreed to, but we will announce them with the approval of the Japanese side.”
Tokyo-Moscow relations are hamstrung by a row dating back to the end of World War II when Soviet troops seized the four southernmost islands in the Pacific Kuril chain, known as the Northern Territories in Japan.
The tensions have prevented the countries from signing a peace treaty formally ending wartime hostilities, hindering trade and investment ties.
Putin — who last visited Japan in 2005 — is set to meet Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday on the sidelines of an economic forum in the far eastern Russian city of Vladivostok.
Abe made a visit to Russia in May and the Kremlin has been mooting a possible return trip by Putin before the end of the year as both sides look to rekindle talks aimed at resolving the territorial dispute.
Tokyo is closely allied with Washington and has slapped sanctions against Moscow over its annexation of Crimea and the unrest in Ukraine.
Over the years leaders from the two nations have tried to make headway on resolving their lingering dispute but a solution has proved elusive, and still looks some way off. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/30/putin-to-visit-japan-in-december-kremlin/ | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/68f6c649993b1c5cf02085f21e93baec7968690ac4f66ec82f17ab694eca13d7.json |

Mozambique’s aviation authorities in Maputo said they had been informed of the discovery, but were yet to receive the item.
Australia, which is leading the search for the aircraft which vanished in 2014 with 239 people onboard, has determined that five pieces of debris found in Mozambique, South Africa and Mauritius almost certainly came from the plane.
“I found this piece on the beach in front of a lodge called Linga Linga Lodge on Thursday last week,” Jean Viljoen, a hotel manager in Mozambique’s southern province of Inhambane, told AFP.
“It is kind of triangular in shape, it’s 1.2-metres by-1.2 metres across, and it looks like it’s been in the ocean for a while.”
He said it was red and white, with stickers that had some readable numbers.
The piece has been handed to local police.
The latest debris was found around 280 kilometres (174 miles) north of Xai Xai where a South African boy picked up a suspected piece in December 2015.
It is 220 kilometres south of the spot where another possible piece was found by an American lawyer in March this year.
The first debris linked to MH370 — a wing part known as a flaperon — was washed up on the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion in July 2015.
The Boeing 777 vanished on March 8, 2014 during a Kuala Lumpur-Beijing flight. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/29/new-suspected-mh370-debris-found-in-mozambique/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/d3103221916ddc7751cb0574ae6f5b1301228d76ae66dc274c05eed748354a6f.json |

During a media’s briefing held here, he said “We hope the Indian side can do more for peace and stability in the China-India border region, rather than the contrary. In this connection an important consensus already exists between the two sides.
He was replying to question through which his attention was drawn towards recent commentary carried out by the newspaper of People Liberation Army, criticizing Indian government’s decision to deploy BrahMos missiles along the India-China border areas. The commentary also spoke about possible countermeasures from China.
To another question about the Diaoyu Island, the spokesman said its affiliated islands are inherently Chinese territory. The recent training conducted by the PLA Navy and Air Force in the Sea of Japan and West Pacific was a routine activity included in the annual training program. It is in accordance with the international law and international norms, and is not targeting any particular country or any other target. In the future, the Chinese armed forces will continue to conduct such kind of training according to plan.
Navigation and training activities by Chinese side in relevant airspace and waters are reasonable and legitimate and other countries have no right to point fingers.The Chinese armed forces will take all necessary measures to safeguard China’s national sovereignty security and maritime rights and interests.
China, he added is firmly opposed to Japanese attempts to send its self-defense forces to join the so-called Freedom of Navigation (FON) operations by the US in the South China Sea. Japan is not a concerned party in the South China Sea issue, and has no right to intervene in relevant disputes. The Chinese armed forces are firm in its resolve and determination to safeguard the sovereignty, territorial integrity and maritime interests and rights of the country, and will resolutely deal with various threats and challenges. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/26/china-expects-more-from-india-for-peace-along-border-areas/ | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/8897fd85a6ab6bf67791513a3f2bf2026d64da24534cb670e504f0da7f6bdb6d.json |

Patients operated on later in the working day or in the early evening also have a higher mortality risk, according to researchers from McGill University in Canada.
A review of 30 day postoperative in hospital mortality was carried out in the General Hospital in Canada, Medical Xpress reported.
The study evaluated all surgical procedures for the past 5 years, starting from April 1, 2010 to March 31 last year.
A database was constructed collecting variables about surgical interventions.
All elective and emergent surgical cases were included except ophthalmic and local anaesthesia cases.
Researchers found that patients operated in the night were 2.17 times more likely to die than those operating on during regular daytime working hours.
The study also found that patients operated on in the late day were 1.43 times more likely to die than those operated on during regular daytime working hours.

“With the alarming prevalence of vision loss due to diabetes rising more than two-thirds in the last 20 years, the precipitous global epidemic of diabetes must be addressed,” said lead researcher Rupert R.A. Bourne, Ophthalmologist and Professor at the Anglia Ruskin University in Britain, health news reported.
The findings revealed that one in every 39 blind people suffered vision loss due to diabetic retinopathy in 2010 a marked increased of 27 per cent since 1990.
Of those with moderate or severe vision impairment, one in 52 people had blindness attributed to diabetes, an alarming increase of 64 per cent since 1990.
As more people live longer with diabetes, there is a higher risk of developing diabetic retinopathy, and subsequent vision loss.
Poor control of glucose levels and lack of access to eye health services in many parts of the world are thought to contribute to this increase, the researchers said.
In diabetic retinopathy’s most advanced stage, new abnormal blood vessels grow, damaging the retina and leading to permanent scarring and vision impairment or blindness.
“Unfortunately diabetic retinopathy usually does not have any symptoms in the early stages,” added Janet Leasher, Professor at the Nova
Southeastern University (NSU) in Florida, US. People diagnosed with diabetes should undergo a dilated eye health exam at least every year.
Patients should also work closely with their health care providers to determine the best methods to control their blood sugar and blood pressure levels, the researchers suggested. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/27/more-than-two-thirds-rise-in-vision-loss-due-to-diabetes-study/ | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/ce4e1fcbacfd083d412a12087a90f116824c231e6bb6588d14afb1cc97154883.json |

These was declared by the JI Karachi chief Engr. Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman on Monday at a crowded press conference, held at JI Karachi headquarters.
He raised the point that how it be possible that people become clear of all charges all at-once when they switch to another group or party from MQM.
“Politics of favoritism would not be tolerated in Karachi. The groups of MQM had ruined the city, now they should not be given a clean chit to operate in Karachi,” he said.
The JI leader further said that cosmetic measures will do nothing in curbing the terrorist elements under umbrellas of political parties. He was of the view that all offices of all parties, particularly of those MQM and PPP built illegally on governmental lands should be erased, however sealing legitimate offices of any party is not fair.
“Mohajir people have become the most oppressed community in Pakistan. Who ever want to label them subjugated or oppressor do so. Individuals have used this communities for their own purposes as per their own agendas,” he said.
Addressing the confused but loyal members of MQM, he invited them to JI and said that his party is the best choice for all those political workers who are not criminal and were used earlier.
“I want you to hold pens not guns, books not chits for extortion, I want you to excel in healthy fields,” he addressed workers of MQM.
The JI leader reiterated his demand of Rs 500 billion special development package for Karachi and said that it is a legitimate demand. He raised the point that when a metro service worth Rs 225 billion could be built in Lahore than why the mass transit system cannot be restored in Karachi.
On the occasion, he announced a membership campaign from September 1, 2016, during which masses would be contacted and party offices would be restored and established, particularly in those areas where the party was unable to operate due to the presence of terrorist elements, working under disguise of political parties. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/29/ji-demands-across-the-board-accountability/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/81a225805963ba5bd1181cf863f69b83befee2cb0f9e0e1a9ab4be2962e05308.json |

England beat Pakistan by 44 runs in the first ODI while in the second ODI Pakistan lost to England by four wickets. In the third ODI Pakistan suffered an embarrassing 169-run defeat losing the five-match series 0-3.
Talking to APP, a PCB official said after the team’s poor show in the ODI series there have been talks in the board for the removal of Azhar Ali from captaincy.
“After this series Pakistan will play a series against West Indies, New Zealand and Australia,” he said adding there are chances that a new captain might be given the responsibility in these upcoming series.
He said vice captain and wicket-keeper Sarfraz Ahmed is the most likely and suitable option for the ODI captaincy. “If Azhar is removed than defiantly Sarfraz will be given the responsibility” he said. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/31/pcb-likely-to-remove-azhar-from-captaincy/ | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/d8ca78124c5bba9295685f63252b4991ad4e86644d81d1bc2abbce57c0656444.json |

Analysts interviewed by AFP saw Apple as being in position to fend off the blow from the EU demand that the iPhone maker pay a record 13 billion euros ($14.5 billion) in back taxes in Ireland.
But the ease with which the California-based company could write a check to pay the gargantuan bill was seen as potentially coming back to bite Apple by giving the impression it is greedily avoiding doing right by the public coffers.
“People are generally outraged… very wealthy people are using legal but not moral means to avoid paying taxes,” Endpoint Technologies Associates analyst Roger Kay told AFP.
“It’s a bad strategy to be doing that.”
According to its most recent earnings report, Apple had $231.5 billion in cash plus marketable securities at the end of June.
Of that total, $214.8 billion, or 93 percent, was said to be outside the United States, Apple’s chief financial officer Luca Maestri said on an earnings call. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/31/apple-on-firm-financial-footing-as-eu-tax-bill-hits/ | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/b0e265fb8390a163366dfb2aff5632787fa8c29527869eb5cbe10562fd8e1f2b.json |

“We are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities,” the Republican presidential candidate said as he accepted his party’s nomination last month.
It’s an idea experts say is as useless as it is unrealistic. Though that has hardly given Trump pause.
“I will build the greatest wall that you have ever seen,” he elaborated at a recent rally. “That’s a Trump wall, a beautiful wall!”
“And who’s going to pay for it?” he asks at his events.
“Mexico!” his energized supporters roared back.
Trump says his success as a construction magnate guarantees he can build such a wall but has provided few details.
The 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometer) US-Mexico border runs from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, crossing arid, sparsely populated territory as well as urban centers thick with inhabitants.
After initially promising to build a new barrier running the entire length of the border, Trump now says only half actually needs to be covered because the physical terrain acts as a natural barrier along the rest.
But if he’s clear about the length, what about the height? Trump has variously mentioned 35 feet (10.5 meters), 40 feet, 55 feet and even 90 feet.
“The wall just got 10 feet higher!” he’s said when Mexican officials repeated that their country has no intention of paying a dime.
He is just as vague about the cost — $4 billion, then “six or seven” billion, “probably eight,” and “10, maybe 12,” before finally settling at “around $10 billion.”
However, architects and engineers dismiss that figure as entirely unrealistic given even the minimum predictable costs. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/28/trumps-border-wall-plan-is-unrealistic-and-useless-experts-say/ | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/2bdece0668a831fa93847b26d3142819d925429c0c1a5002fdbd4fc0af553fac.json |

The company released its latest iOS version, 9.3.5, on Thursday, which the New York Times said was meant to fix three security vulnerabilities in Apple products.
Those vulnerabilities had been targeted by the NSO Group, an Israeli spyware company, which has created a product that can rifle through a phone to read texts, track calls and record sounds, among other capabilities, the New York Times reported.
Apple told various US media outlets that it fixed the vulnerabilities as soon it learned about them.
The spyware was detected when used against Ahmed Mansoor, a human rights activist in the United Arab Emirates, who has been repeatedly targeted using spyware.
After receiving a suspicious text with a link, he reported the matter to the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab which worked in conjunction with San Francisco-based mobile security firm Lookout to research the affair, USA Today reported.
“The attack allows an adversary to silently jailbreak an iOS device and stealthily spy on victims, collecting information from apps including Gmail, Facebook, Skype, WhatsApp, Calendar, FaceTime, Line, Mail.Ru, and others,” Lookout said in a blog post. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/26/apple-issues-update-after-security-flaws-laid-bare-media/ | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/8792e2c4992c2c72a06dbbac0f671492bc005063691f9e6287ede0312f4ff073.json |

The medicine, Nicolsamide, was previously shown to be safe for pregnant women, which may boost its rapid deployment to treat Zika infection, they reported in the journal Nature Medicine.
“The findings should significantly advance current Zika virus research and have an immediate effect on the development of anti-Zika therapeutics,” the team concluded.
Transmitted mainly by mosquitos but also through sexual transmission, Zika can cause crippling birth defects in the foetuses of infected women.
In adults, it can in rare cases lead to neurological problems such as Guillain-Barre syndrome.
To find medications that — if found effective — could be used quickly, the researchers scanned 6,000 compounds already approved by the US Food and Drug Administration or in clinical trials.
“In this sort of global health emergency, we don’t have time to wait,” said co-author Hongjun Song, a virologist at Johns Hopkins University.
The encouraging results have yet to be reproduced outside the laboratory, the scientists cautioned.
“There is no evidence yet that Nicolsamide is effective in the body,” Song told AFP.
“Additional animal studies, and then human clinical trials, are necessary.” | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/29/tapeworm-drug-stops-zika-from-replicating-in-lab-study/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/1ae5fb3dae3e31731cde9e365fae4eafa6b15202e48ed8888e8fdcafa5cad6fa.json |

Musk wants to revolutionize the launch industry by making rocket components reusable, much the same way as commercial airplanes.
Currently, expensive rocket parts are jettisoned into the ocean after each launch.
“Re-launching a rocket that has already delivered spacecraft to orbit is an important milestone on the path to complete and rapid reusability,” Gwynne Shotwell, president and chief operating officer of SpaceX, said in a statement. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/31/spacex-to-launch-satellite-by-reusing-rocket/ | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/6edcb162a38493269ec0d48ca008f9df1d524d2d22c0768f6458ec89a52c380c.json |

As per details, Hasnain, who is also a member National Assembly, was couple of days ago arrested by Rangers at Karachi airport when he about to board a flight.
Rangers had arrested the MQM leader to investigate whether he was nominated in any case filed against party leaders. After hours of his detention, Hasnain was released by the Rangers and since then he has never appeared on the media.
Several popular but sidelined faces of the MQM like Dr. Sagheer Ahmed, Anis Adovcate, Raza Haroon, Iftikhar Alam and Waseem Aftab have joined the PSP so far and announced severing ties with the Altaf Hussain-led MQM.
In his press conference on March 3 this year, Mustafa Kamal had rocked the political arena of Pakistan with his outburst against MQM and its head Altaf Hussain. | http://www.jasarat.org/2016/08/28/mqms-asif-hasnain-joins-psp/ | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.jasarat.org/f86dbb2eb86e5b3aac3f00a9d48182422f2f857208f16cf0a93536089d92346a.json |

The rise in the dollar also followed a comparatively bullish outlook from US Fed chief Janet Yellen, who said Friday that justification for an interest rate hike was mounting.
Toward 2100 GMT, the euro was at $1.1187, down from $1.1195 Friday, while the dollar stood at 101.88 yen, up from 101.77.
The pound fell to $1.3105 from $1.3135 on Monday, a British bank holiday.
The Commerce Department reported Monday that US consumer spending in July had risen 0.3 percent over June while core inflation had risen only 0.1 percent. Personal incomes were up 0.4 percent for the month.
Yellen’s remarks on Friday at the annual Jackson Hole symposium on monetary policy were seen as raising the likelihood of interest rate action this year, which can increase demand for US currency.
“Markets have repriced rate expectations accordingly, with the implied probability of a rate increase by the end of this year now firmly above 50 percent,” Erik Nelson of Wells Fargo wrote in a client note.
“The major currencies are broadly weaker in what is an otherwise light day for economic data and events.”
