CHRISTCHURCH, MAR 15 (AP): Mass shootings at two mosques full of worshippers attending Friday prayers killed 49 people in New Zealand as authorities charged one person, detained three others and defused explosive devices in what appeared to be a carefully planned racist attack. The alleged gunman – who identified himself as Brenton Tarrant – made a livestream video of his attack available online. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the events in Christchurch represented “an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence” and acknowledged many of those affected may be migrants and refugees. In addition to the dead, she said more than 20 people were seriously wounded. “It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack,” Ardern said. Police took three men and a woman into custody after the shootings, which shocked people across the nation of 5 million people. One of the suspects was later charged with murder. While there was no reason to believe there were more suspects, Ardern said

the national security threat level was being raised to the second-highest level. Authorities have not specified who they detained, but said none had been on any watch list. A man who claimed responsibility for the shootings left a 74-page anti-immigrant manifesto in which he explained who he was and his reasoning for the attack. He said he was a 28-year-old white Australian and a racist. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed that one of the four

people detained was an Australian-born citizen. Police Commissioner Mike Bush said Friday night that a man had been charged with murder. He did not mention the other three suspects and did not say whether the same shooter was responsible for both attacks. Ardern at a news conference alluded to anti-immigrant sentiment as the possible motive, saying that while many people affected by the shootings may be migrants or refugees “they have chosen to make New

Zealand their home, and it is their home. A video that was apparently livestreamed by the shooter shows the attack in horrifying detail. There was a second shooting at the Linwood Masjid Mosque that killed at least 10 people. The police commissioner warned anybody who was thinking of going to a mosque anywhere in New Zealand on Friday to stay put. The man who claimed responsibility for the shooting said he came to New Zealand only to plan

Pay taxes and take ownership: CEO IDAN

Alemtemshi Jamir (DIPR)

D I M A P U R , M ar 1 5 (NPN): Investment & Development Authority of Nagaland (IDAN) CEO, Alemtemshi Jamir, Friday said Nagas have to change and move forward as they were now living in the age of acceleration. According to an official bulletin, former chief secretary opined that Nagas should start paying tax and start having ownership in the roads and development. Jamir said that taxation would help the government or people to judge whether a person has wealth dispropor-

tionate income. Speaking at the officers’ conference at the Directorate of Information & Public Relations (DIPR) Kohima on March 15, 2019, said Alemtemshi also said that Nagas, in the age of acceleration, cannot stay idle and needed to participate and grow along with it or they would be nowhere. Deliberating on the topic ‘Government media in the age of Acceleration’, Alemtemshi said that the age of acceleration was here to stay and therefore Nagas have to think on how to cope with it. Also, stressing on the importance of connectivity, he said that everything that was happening globally was also affecting us. “In this age where things are changing fast and we cannot just sit and listen but we should act,” he said. Pointing out that social media has a great power and potential of mobilising opin-

ion, Jamir, however, said it was not capable of sustaining or arriving at a consensus. He, therefore, said that finding a solution of how to control the social media and to see that it did not go out of control was another role the department has a part to play. He also stated that one cannot be just mute spectators, adding that one has to be alert and start working in disseminating information about important issues that was affecting the society. Also, speaking at the conference, commissioner &secretary IPR, V Maria Yanthan, said that one should keep oneself up to date as the world was moving at a fast pace. She reminded the officers that they were the mouth piece of the government and needed to play an important role in disseminating information to the people especially at the grassroots level.

KOHIMA, MAR 15 (NPN): Hectic last minute preparations were underway at Khouchiezie (Kohima local ground) Friday evening, as Kohima village gears up to celebrate a ‘Plastic-Free’ Sekrenyi festival on March 16 under the theme “Pride of Kewhimia”. Festival organizing committee secretary, Thenuokhrie-ü Tsiekha,

told this correspondent that the organisers, in an effort to support the state government’s commitment for plastic-free state, have requested everyone to bring their own plates and water bottles. Informing that Kohima village has an approximate population of 17,734, she said around 10,000 people were expected to attend the celebration. She stated that the celebration was a cul-

tural one and did not have any bearing on religious sentiments. The committee convenor, Neibu Sekhose, said this was the first time that the village was celebrating a combined Sekrenyi, unlike other years where each of the four Khels celebrated it separately. On the issue of a Christian convert celebrating Sekrenyi, Sekhose said that

the festival was all about purification, adding it was a time when everyone comes together to praise the Lord. He said that the programme would begin with a prayer. Besides that, there would be no religious activity. He said the main goal was to bring forth unity among all communities and to come together for the betterment of the village. Sekhose added that they would not be celebrating Sekrenyi like in the old days where people came together, make merry, drink alcohol, and perform significant tribal religious activities. It would be a time for social gathering and to display beautiful cultural attires and tradition, he said. In support of the VIP free culture declared by the State government, the celebrations would have no chief guest and everyone would be considered equals. K Y M C

Art College, at the principal’s office on March 14. The training centre has been recognized for its one year diploma course for Arts teachers. Wotsa Fine Art and Training Centre Dimapur is affiliated to Imphal Art College Manipur, under Manipur University. Speaking to this Correspondent, V. Hetoi Swu described this achievement as a milestone in the field of Fine Arts in the state. He expressed happiness and extended gratitude to the Board chairman,

principal and faculty members of lmphal Art College Manipur for recognizing Wotsa Fine Art and training centre Dimapur. Swu said he went through much struggle in the last ten years to get the centre recognized. Swu opined that Naga people have talents in drawing and fine art, however they have no opportunity to explore their talents. With the government recognized centre now, many educated unemployed would find avenues for employment, he added. According to Swu, without a fine arts institute in the state, the government had faced a lot of issues to employ and train nearly 400 drawing teachers because they have to go to Imphal or some other place to train. He added that 63% of the drawing teachers in the state were untrained. To address this issue, Wotsa Fine Art and Training Centre will reserve 40 seats for in-service drawing teachers of the State. According to Swu, every year 20 drawing teachers are sent out of the State for training and if this practice has to continue, it will take around nine to ten years to train all the drawing teachers required by Nagaland.

Mnp needs MP affiliated to strong party: AITC observer

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Mar 15: All India Trinamool Congress on Friday assured that it will resolve issues plaguing Manipur if its candidates were sent to the Parliament. AITC observer for Manipur Bishwajit Deb observed, for a small state like Manipur, there was the need to send candidates from a strong political party who can draw the attention of the Parliament to issues arising in the state from time to time. Hinting at AITC fielding its candidates in both the Parliamentary seats from Manipur, he said, “I, on behalf of AICC and Mamata Banerjee will ensure that candidates of AITC are elected in the ensuing Parliament elections so that Trinamool Congress can give you a better Manipur, a developed Manipur in all respect.” The AITC leader was talking to reporters on the sideline of a ‘one-day workers conference’ of Manipur Pradesh Trinamool Congress held in Imphal on Friday. He alleged that issues of Manipur were not focussed upon in Parliament till date citing absence of backing from the party to the Parliamentarians they were affiliated coupled with lack of political will of the Parliamentarians from the state as the reason. Deb added that for a small state like Manipur, there was the need for sending well-qualified representatives having affilia-

tion with strong party so that issues of the state can be highlighted in the Parliament. Manipur is plagued with various issues which need attention of the Central government and the Parliament is the appropriate forum to draw the attention of the Central government, Deb stated, while observing the need to highlight issues in the state arising from time to time. He revealed how despite its big size, issues from West Bengal were unable to reach the ear of the Central government until Trinamool Congress came to power in the state. It was only after the Trinamool Congress came to power in the state (West Bengal) that Centre started focussing on the state, he claimed. Deb further highlighted all-round changes that were brought about in West Bengal in the past seven years, claiming that it was possible because of AITC under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee. The one-day workers conference held at GM Hall, Imphal was organised by Manipur Trinamool Congress with the objective of bringing together all its split workers and supporters to revive the party. The Manipur unit of the party was very popular at the initial stage winning eight seats by securing 10% of the total votes in the 2012 state Assembly elections. The party was the only opposition party in the Manipur Legislative Assembly.

Porters still indispensable part of elections in Arunachal Itanagar, Mar 15 (PTI): A remnant of the British Raj, Auxiliary Labour Corps (ALCs) or porters are still indispensable in Arunachal Pradesh, especially during elections, for carrying poll materials and transporting EVMs to remote polling stations in the mountainous state. The ALCs were first appointed by the British for carrying materials. After Arunachal Pradesh became a full-fledged state in 1987, regular appointment of ALCs was stopped. They are now recruited only on a temporary basis. Trekking the rugged and almost inaccessible terrains of the state, ALCs serve as a bridge between the government and the people, and make polling possible by carrying poll materials defying all adversities. Even after 72 years of Independence, ALCs play an important role as stretches of roads in several districts are nonmotorable. “Services of ALCs are required at the time

of transporting public distribution system (PDS) materials,opening of new administrative centres, natural calamities and during polls,” Additional Chief Electoral Officer Kanki Darang said. Moreover, they also carry ration items being dropped by choppers, to the Central Procurement Organisation (CPO) godowns in several districts,” Darang said. The election office here had hired 2,100 ALCs during the 2014 elections and deployed 1,400 during the 2009 assembly polls to carry poll materials to remote polling stations, officials said. “The number of ALCs to be deployed this time will be more than the previous elections in 2014, as the Election Commission of India for the first time has introduced voter verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) for which additional porters will be required to carry the extra instruments,” Deputy Chief Electoral Officer Liken Koyu said.

Many candidates eye BJP ticket in Diphu Correspondent

Diphu March 15: With many candidates vying for tickets from Diphu Autonomous Districts constituency under BJP, some names are doing the round while others have been voiced. Sitting MLA of Howraghat, Joyram Engleng, who was BJP’s nominee in 2014, fought against all odds and missed the target by a narrow margin can be regarded a capable contender. He in fact established the foundation of BJP in the autonomous hill districts of Assam . Former MLA of Diphu, Bidyasing Engleng who recently joined BJP after ditching Congress is another contender whose name features among the higher ups of the BJP leadership. His name was shortlisted by the State Screening Committee of the BJP on Thursday as candidate for the upcoming elections. Apart from Engleng, Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council’s Executive Member Horensing Bey is also in the fray as a probable candidate for the forthcoming election. The other popular

SC stays Meghalaya HC order 7 HPC(D) cadres nabbed with convicting newspaper editor arms, ammunitions in Manipur N ew D elh i , M ar 15 (PTI): The Supreme Court Friday stayed the Meghalaya High Court judgment convicting The Shillong Times editor Patricia Mukhim and publisher Shoba Chaudhuri in a contempt case. The high court had also imposed a fine of Rs 2 lakh each on them and said if they failed to deposit the amount, they will have to undergo six months simple imprisonment and the paper will be banned. The case relates to an article published by the paper on the perks and facilities for retired judges and their families. A Supreme Cour t bench, comprising of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna, also issued notice to the high court registrar on the appeal filed by the editor and the publisher of newspaper. While pronouncing the judgement in the contempt case, the high court

Patricia Mukhim (File)

had on March 8 asked both of them to serve the sentence by sitting in the corner of the court room till the rising of the court. Immediately after the high court order was stayed, Mukhim told PTI, “The Supreme Court has stayed and suspended the judgment passed by the Meghalaya High Court on March 8, 2019. I have full faith that judiciary will protect the freedom of press.” In her December 10, 2018 article titled “When judges judge for themselves”, Mukhim sought to draw parallels between

the order by Justice S R Sen on perks for retired judges and an order passed by two former judges of the high court in 2016 before their retirement. The order by the two judges demanding special category security was quashed by the Supreme Court. Mukhim and Chaudhuri were asked to show cause as to why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against the newspaper for publishing the article. In his show cause notice, Justice Sen had said that the media is not to dictate what the court should do. “It is really shocking that the publisher and editor of the said newspaper without knowing the law or background of the case are making comments which are definitely derogatory to a judge who is handling the case as well as the entire fraternity of the judges,” Justice Sen had said.

EC to prohibit political ads on social media UP oppn parties to hold 11 joint rallies

Mumbai, Mar 15 (AGENCIES): The Election Commission (EC) told the Bombay High Court on Friday that it is willing to prohibit any political advertisements on social media 48 hours before polling day, provided the high court issues such orders. The EC also told a bench of Chief Justice Naresh Patil and Justice N M Jamdar that it was going to ensure implementation of all its previous notifications regulating political advertisements on social media, particularly around the time of elections. The statement was made by the EC’s counsel Pradeep Rajagopal. He was responding to a query posed by the court on a previous hearing, asking why the EC was hesitant to issue specific directions prohibiting political advertisements on social media 48 hours before an election day. Rajagopal submitted that the EC was aware that specific rules were required to govern advertisements on social media ahead of elections and that it was going

Election Commission of India. (File) to implement all safeguards to ensure that there were no obstructions to free and fair elections in the country. “The EC will implement directions passed by it (sic) from time to time with respect to social media intermediaries,” Rajagopal said. “It will also issue directions keeping in view the submissions made by other parties in the PIL on the 48-hour period. If this court passes orders on prohibitory regulations for social media during this 48 hour period,

it will implement them,” he said. The court was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by lawyer Sagar Suryavanshi seeking directions to the Election Commission to regulate fake news in the form of paid political ads on social media. The PIL had also urged the court to direct the EC to prohibit all persons, whether politicians or private individuals, from posting advertisements related to politics or elections, or paid political content on social

media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter 48 hours before election day. On the previous hearing, Facebook had told the court that it had introduced strict “pre-verification processes” for all political ads and paid content of “national interest” on their websites in India ahead of the 2019 general elections. The new system ensures that only bonafide individuals, who are citizens of India, and political organisations based in the

country can place political ads. Twitter and YouTube had told the bench that they already only permitted such political ads that had been verified by the EC. The social media sites, however, told the court that they could not voluntarily impose a 48-hour ban as sought by the petitioner. The counsels for Facebook, Google and YouTube said that they could prohibit display of political ads on their websites 48 hours before polling day, if they were directed by the EC to do so. The Representation of the People’s Act already prohibits political campaigning 48 hours before polling day and a notification of the EC regulating ads on TV and print media prohibits publication of political ads 48 hours before polling day. The court, therefore, asked why the Election Commission could not formulate a similar direction for political ads on social media. The HC is likely to take up the matter for further hearing on Monday.

Pakistan response on Kartarpur NIA issues fresh summons to Mirwaiz for questioning inadequate, says Amarinder Singh Chandigarh, Mar 15 (AGENCIES): Expressing disappointment at Pakistan’s response to the various issues raised by India during the first meeting on the Kartarpur Corridor, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Friday urged Islamabad to be more amenable and responsive to India’s demands, keeping in view the interests of the devotees seeking to pay obeisance at the historic gurdwara across the border. In a statement issued here, the Chief Minister said Islamabad’s response to India’s demands is totally inadequate and the neighbouring country needed to reconsider its stand if the corridor is to serve its true purpose, in the spirit in which it was decided to be opened. The governments of the two countries took a historic decision by agreeing to open the corridor to mark the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak, in November this year, Amarinder said, lauding the fact that

Amarinder Singh (File) the Pulwama attack and the subsequent IAF airstrikes were not allowed to scuttle the talks between the two sides on taking the project forward. It was good that the two countries remained on track with the project deadlines, but Pakistan needed to go a step further to make the initiative truly meaningful for the pilgrims, particularly the Sikh community, which had been deprived of darshan at the Kartarpur gurdwara for over 70 years, he added. The limitation of 500 pilgrims a day, as proposed by Pakistan, is extremely insufficient to cater to the aspirations of the large number of devotees desirous of

darshan at the gurdwara, said the Chief Minister. And curtailing the visit to a limited number of days in a week would defeat the purpose even further, he added. “Pakistan’s response to India’s demands on Kartarpur Corridor is totally inadequate. The Corridor won’t serve its true purpose with such limitations. Sikhs have been deprived of Kartarpur gurdwara darshan for 70 years, need to allow more people every day, including from overseas,” he tweeted. Amarinder reiterated his demand for visa-free ‘khule darshan’ at the gurdwara for Indians of all faiths, from India and overseas, seven days a week. “Pilgrims should be allowed to go through Kartarpur Corridor for ‘khule darshan’ at the historic gurdwara all 7 days a week. Special permits should be good for identity, the visa requirement needs to be waived. Pakistan has to be more responsive on this issue,” he further tweeted.

Srinagar, Mar 14 (PTI): The National Investigation Agency (NIA) Thursday issued fresh summons to moderate separatist leader Mirwaiz Umer Farooq to appear for questioning at the probe agency headquarters in connection with a terror financing case, officials said. According to the notice, the Mirwaiz has been asked to appear at the National Investigation Agency (NIA) headquarters in New Delhi on March 18, the agency officials said. The NIA had on February 26 carried out searches at premises of separatist leaders, including the Mirwaiz, in connection with the case related to financing of terrorist and separatist groups in Jammu and Kashmir. The NIA team, accompanied by police and CRPF personnel, searched residences of some of the separatist leaders, including the Mirwaiz, Naseem Geelani and Ashraf Sehrai, the chairman of the Tehreek-eHurriyat. The houses of Jammu

Mirwaiz Umer Farooq (File) Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) leader Yaseen Malik, Shabir Shah, Zaffar Bhat and Masarat Alam were also raided. Barring the Mirwaiz and Sehrai, all other leaders were jailed for some time. The NIA had questioned two maternal uncles of the Mirwaiz -- Maulvi Manzoor and Maulvi Shafat -- and his close aides last year. Both Manzoor and Shafat are retired senior government officers. He had been asked to appear before the NIA on March 11 but the Mirwaiz had expressed his inability to join the investigation in the national capital fearing for his security in view of

Pollachi sex abuse case: Kamal Haasan hits out at CM C h e n na i , M a r 1 5 (IANS): Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) leader Kamal Haasan on Friday lashed out strongly at the AIADMK government led by Chief Minister K. Palaniswami for its silence on the Pollachi sexual abusecum-blackmail case. In a video clip uploaded in his Twitter account, Kamal Haasan attacked the state government for its inaction and threatening the complainants/victims. Kamal Haasan charged the government with revealing the name of the victim and scaring away the students who protested on the road by manhandling them. The students who came to register their just anger in an honest manner were removed forcibly by the police. The students

are asking whether this police force would ensure their safety, Kamal Haasan said. “ D o n’ t y o u h e a r Mr.CM?” Kamal Haasan said. Recalling late Chief Minister J.Jayalalithaa’s statement that sexual assault on women will be considered as a serious crime and will be probed by senior officials, Kamal Haasan said the government has not done anything to protect the victims. He said the police officer investigating the case had revealed the name of the victim in a press meet. The current AIADMK claiming to run the government on the footsteps of Jayalalithaa has not taken any action and wondered how it can be so careless and lethargic in this regard.

and condemnable. “This is very painful and should be condemned in the strongest word. We, the Muslims, need to think as to why such incidents are happening. Of course, it is Islamophobia, but we need to look inwards as to what is wrong with the ‘ummah’ (community),” Madni told IANS. Expressing shock over the incident,

Navaid Hamid, President of All India Muslim Majlis-eMushawarat, an umbrella body of various Muslim organisations, said: “No words to express shock and grief over the killing of peaceful worshipers at Christchurch mosque in New Zealand terror attack.” “My heart goes to the bereaved families who are

victims of Islamophobia created by western policies in the last 20 years,” he added. He also questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence over the incident. However, the Prime Minister has expressed his “shock” over the accident in a letter to his New Zealand counterpart Jacinda Ardern.

DailyDevotion The Discipline of Dismay As they followed they were afraid. —Mark 10:32 At the beginning of our life with Jesus Christ, we were sure we knew all there was to know about following Him. It was a delight to forsake everything else and to throw ourselves before Him in a fearless statement of love. But now we are not quite so sure. Jesus is far ahead of us and is beginning to seem different and unfamiliar— “Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed” (Mark 10:32). There is an aspect of Jesus that chills even a disciple’s heart to its depth and makes his entire spiritual life gasp for air. This unusual Person with His face set “like a flint” (Isaiah 50:7) is walking with great determination ahead of me, and He strikes terror right through me. He no longer seems to be my Counselor and Friend and has a point of view about which I know nothing. All I can do is stand and stare at Him in amazement. At first I was confident that I understood Him, but now I am not so sure. I begin to realize that there is a distance between Jesus and me and I can no longer be intimate with Him. I have no idea where He is going, and the goal has become strangely distant. Jesus Christ had to understand fully every sin and sorrow that human beings could experience, and that is what makes Him seem unfamiliar. When we see this aspect of Him, we realize we really don’t know Him. We don’t recognize even one characteristic of His life, and we don’t know how to begin to follow Him. He is far ahead of us, a Leader who seems totally unfamiliar, and we have no friendship with Him. The discipline of dismay is an essential lesson which a disciple must learn. The danger is that we tend to look back on our times of obedience and on our past sacrifices to God in an effort to keep our enthusiasm for Him strong (see Isaiah 50:10-11). But when the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come the ability to follow Jesus truly, which brings inexpressibly wonderful joy.

A will to a way

ince 22 years the much debated 33% women reservation bill has been in the political limbo and routinely punctuated by frayed tempers and war of words since 1996. The bill was introduced in Parliament but it lapsed each time when the House was dissolved and was re-introduced by the Government of the day. The seats were proposed to be reserved in rotation and would have been determined by draw of lots in such a way that a seat would be reserved only once in three consecutive general elections. The Rajya Sabha passed the bill on March 9 2010 during the UPA rule but the Lok Sabha never voted on the bill. The bill lapsed after the dissolution of the 15th Lok Sabha in 2014. Almost all major political parties felt it useful to promise 33% women reservation. The Congress, BJP, TMC etc have mentioned the bill in their respective manifestos. However when it came to the test in the Lok Sabha, the parties never got to even consider passage of the bill. The main grouse against the bill was that it seeks to provide quotas to one gender but deprived the other gender. The argument was that in democracy and especially in India, if women constituted around 50% of the population, then what stopped the women from voting for women? The other point that has been often cited is that instead of providing constitutional reservation, political parties should instead give 33% tickets to women candidates. After more than two decades, the Biju Janata Dal(BJD) supremo and Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik made it a reality when he announced that his party will give 33% of party tickets to women candidates for the 2019 Lok Sabha election. Naveen termed his party’s decision as a “benchmark for women’s empowerment” in the country. That will mean that the ruling BJD in Odisha will field women candidates for at least seven out of the 21 Lok Sabha seats in the state. At present, there are three women Lok Sabha MPs from Odisha. The BJD had won 20 of the 21 Lok Sabha seats in 2014. Not long afterwards another party supremo and chief minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee also announced that her party would set up not 33% or 35% but 41% women candidate for the 2019 Lok Sabha election. Mamata Banerjee on March 12, released her party’s list of candidates for the general election, naming 17 women among the party’s contestants from 42 seats in the state and fielding new faces from 19 constituencies. She said the TMC had nominated 41% women candidates for 2019 as against 35% the party set up in 2014. The BJP had taunted the Congress about the bill being stalled in the Lok Sabha in 2010. However, the party which won a brute majority in 2014 hasn’t done anything about it. In fact the Modi government showed its intent when it hastily introduced the 10% job quota bill for poor upper castes on January 9,2019. However, when it came to women’s reservation the BJP did precious little. Earlier, the Modi government introduced the triple talaq bill, officially known as the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2018, on December 27 and got it passed. These above instances, clearly point out that if political parties were sincere they could always find out a way to achieve what they promise.

imple yet seriously, I would like to question to those civil societies and individuals who are advocating for Business on Sundays in favour of perishable vegetables against the imperishable God / Yahweh Worship. 1. Who were the builders and destroyers of a society in history? 2. How did they build the society/nation? 3. How did they destroy the society/nation? 4. What do our leaders ought to learn and follow today? The prophets and the Church leaders are the mouth piece of God who give instructions and guidance to all the people as per the revealed Word of God. The leaders of the people in the Government, Society, Community, Tribal Council, etc. are the implementers of the revealed word of God. Moses instructed the people to abide by the revealed word of God. He was opposed by the community leaders. They all perished in the wilderness. Joshua was instructed to follow and he and his family was committed to God till to the end. They entered the Rest. King David was instructed by the prophets and he followed. All the people were led according to the word of God and in the fear of the Lord. He and the people flourished. King Asa recalled all the Levites and the priests and brought back the people to the way of the Lord. King Hezekiah ordered the priests and the people to observe the Passover and he pleased the Lord God of Israel. Nehemiah and Ezra wept for the sins of Israel and challenged the people to rebuild Jerusalem and to restored the Jewish worship according to the word of God. They indeed rebuild Jerusalem and Jewish nation was restored. There are many more great leaders and kings of whom we read in the Bible and in the extra biblical books. They were the builders of nations, societies of faith and civilization of the world based on the word of God. How great were those leaders! King Manasseh was in-

ve r yo n e wa n t s a world filled with bright colours defining peace and happiness but why is it still gloomy out here? No matter how timid, brave, angry or strong a person may present himself in front of all, deep inside he also wants a world of peace and joy where there is no such thing called ‘Corruption, Injustice, wars’ or anything that is unpleasant and wrong. There are many thousands and millions of people praying and wishing for the bright days to fill their lives because they still believe there is goodness in every single being and that, one day the people who have gone wrong will realise and come back and contribute for a better tomorrow. Well, it is not wrong to think that way because we human beings are the ones created by a God who is pure and righteous with no hint of mistake in Him so yes, every person, no matter how scary or angry he may show himself to the world, he too has a goodness in him, a goodness gifted by God to all of us. Sometimes we blame things and people too much when things don’t go according to our plans and I do not know if that is human’s nature but let us just accept the fact that we tend to blame a little too much intentionally or unintentionally. We human beings are gifted with so many talents and we got a lot of potentials but I do not understand why we limit ourselves just because we don’t have confidence in ourselves or say, because of the most common phrase,

structed but he killed the prophets who spoke to him. King Ahab was instructed and confronted by the prophets for the wrongs he had done but in stead of mending his ways, he sought for the lives of the prophets. Scores of leaders were there in the Bible who were condemned and cursed by the Lord. They were the ones who destroyed the societies and brought doom to the nation. How did they scheme a plot and kill Naboth? Why and how did they kill prophet Isaiah? How did they treat Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah, Micaiah, Zachariah and many more servants of the Lord? How did they bring doom upon themselves and the nation? Were they not responsible for Israel’s captivity and destruction? There are lots of stories written in books about the causes of the doom of a nation. When God is not happy, that’s the end of the nation. We all must know for sure that the living God of yesteryears is the same living God today. His judgement and standard remains the same. There will be no partiality in Him. Let us pick up one lesson - How the rulers of the nation conspired against the anointed of the Lord in favour of Barabbas, the criminal? Now in whose favour are you today? Are you in favour of perishable vegetable vendors or the imperishable Holy Day of the Lord? Did not God say to every one of us to keep His Rest Day Holy? Who are those vendors of perishable vegetable – Naga, non Naga,illegal immigrants, miyas, Christians, non Christians, etc. etc. Should Naga Christians go to market on Sunday for their perishable vegetables or should they go to Church and worship the Everlasting God, the Creator and the Sustainer of the Universe for gain of eternal blessing? What is your choicevegetable or God? Worship or marketing on Sunday? In the Old Testament too, it was the leaders who were the ones that defiled the Holy days of the Lord for their selfish monetary gain. They exchanged justice or sold the poor for a pair of sandals. They made holy fasting days into horrible cursing

days. Alas! Israel nation was destroyed because of the leaders. Jesus had to come and cleanse the Temple before he goes to the cross forrestoration. Corruption does not start from the bottom, the common men. It starts from the higher up, the powerful and the rich. Abuse of power does not start from the common men but from the powerful. Law breaking does not start from the simple common men but from the law making, law enforcing, affluent people and criminals. Justice perversion does not start from the common men but from the rulers of the people. Communal fighting or war does not start by a common man, it starts from the communal, political, social, tribal, business leaders. The commoners are used and victimised. The common men are followers. They are not the law makers, law enforces and justice adjudicators. The common men are just citizens. That’s all. But one danger that lies with the common men is that, if you spread to them rumours, wrong messages, give wrong teachings and instructions, then they become the active elements of havoc and complete destruction of the society. If doom comes, you are not exception to destruction. Mind it seriously. Let us not be advocates of wrong things. My suggestion is, let there be proper discussion on matter of the closure of Business on Sunday in Dimapur area. As of now, before proper understanding is brought about, let there be closure of the market on Sunday as it is, except for life saving and emergency services in which Hotels etc. are included. Let us not quarrel, let us not sell God for perishable vegetables, let us not desecrate our Holy Day, let us not be money minded (in spite of poverty) but let us be very serious of our national faith in God and for the society that has been saved Lord. Oh, blessed child Jesus, go to God/Church for Blessing on Sunday. Don’t go to Market for Money on Sunday. God bless you. Amen Rev. Seksim Kasar, General Secretary, CNC

ommuters of the Kohima City have long been benefiting from the generosity of some relatively affluent individuals, who have committed themselves in providing community service in the form of running private city buses. Unlike many other Municipal Councils/Corporations, which have their own fleet of public transport, Kohima’s public transport system is an agglomeration of mostly private owners, unifying for the sole purpose of providing efficient affordable bus services for decades now. With the advancement of engineering and technology, city buses have transformed over time, for achieving better efficiency, comfort and more recently, lesser emission of environment pollutants. Today, there are vast array of buses available which are not only equipped with modern technologies such as GPS trackers, on board/ dash cameras, hydraulic lifts, panic buttons, information display systems, PA systems, etc. but also runs on alternative fuels like CNG and electricity. For instance, electric buses in particular has lesser emission, has brand value, free from rising diesel/petrol cost, cheaper maintenance, quieter operation and can avail various incentives for procuring. The Government of India(GoI) is promoting these recent innovations through introduction of schemes like Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles(FAME). Various air quality monitoring sources have shown that Kohima and Dimapur are exposed to harmful air pollution levels beyond permissible limits even with the absence of major air polluting factories and industries. This may be related to the increasing number of vehicles in the Cities. Automobile emissions such as Carbon Monoxide (CO), Ozone, Sulfur Dioxide(SO), Nitrogen Dioxide(NO), Lead, Particulate Matter (PM) and other toxic air pollutantscan lead to serious health issues like asthma, cancer, lung infections, etc. Elderly citizens and children are found to be more susceptible to these health hazards. Due to the adverse implications of polluted air, India has made it a fundamental right to breathe clean air through the National Green Tribunal(NGT) in 2014. Inorder to regulate the output of air pollutants from internal combustion engines and spark-ignition engines equipment, including motor vehicles, India follows the Bharat Stage Emission Standards(BS). Presently the accepted norm, since 2017, is the BS-IV, but by April 2020, India is set to adopt the BS-VI norms; which would mean after this, legally there should not be any more vehicle sales

Where have we gone wrong?

“What will people say?” and I do not understand why it bothers us too much to do something we are good at just because we think the society will judge us. I believe everyone should follow their hearts as long as it ain’t harming anybody. Now, coming back to ‘we blame too much’, don’t you think instead of complaining, blaming and criticising, we need to question ourselves,”where have we gone wrong?” And maybe that way we can see things clearly. Once upon a time, a man kept blaming the leaders for being corrupted and when his son got a government job through backdoor appointment, he said, ”Thank God. My son finally got a job”. The wise will understand what I intend to deliver through this. You see, there are so many of us wanting to get government jobs and at the same time there are many others who are so good in their own different fields and wish to do something good out of it but why are they pressurised to do something they do not desire for? Why do many of us think that getting a government job is the answer to all the problems? No job is big or small but what matters at the end of the day is if we are happy with who and what we are and if we are being any source of help and contribution to the society. Not everyone is born to draw an apple; some are born to draw pineapples too. When a young man speaks his heart out or protest against something

which he think is wrong, correct him if he is wrong and let him know where he went wrong but let your words be filled with wisdom when you correct him however, when he protest against something which is actually wrong, do not stop him because what he has in him is called ‘Courage’ and why Courage? Courage because he knows many will try to stop him or judge him for fighting for what is right because they think he is too young to speak or fight for what is right but he also knows that if he stays quiet, he will only end up encouraging the wrong thing which, as a responsible citizen, irrespective of his age, he would never let such ugly thing take place. No matter how old a person may be, he should always fight for what is right. A person may be young but if he has the qualities of understanding, knowledge and wisdom, that is what matters. Age is just a number. Why do we fear too much? When we see someone doing something very wrong right in front of us, we just tell to ourselves, ”Mind your own business” or “Stay Away” and not only do we stop ourselves but we tell the rest to stay away too if they do not want to invite problems for themselves. When a person is treated badly or insulted in front of us, we know it is wrong but most of us just smiles away and leave, feeling guilty for the rest of the day. This ‘what ifs’ are always a headache to many of us. “What if people judge

me? What if I invite trouble for myself for fighting back? What if ?” Have your ‘what ifs’ helped you in any way? We all want peace but what have we contributed to the society that we think we deserve peace? I believe those who are struggling day and night for the betterment of our society really does deserve peace. We talk about peace, peace and peace yet why is there always a heavy comparison and competition among tribes? That! I do not understand because I see every one as human beings; creation of God; special and wonderful in our own ways. Everyone wants their tribe to do well which is not a bad thing but when we look down on the other tribes thinking that we are the superior ones, that’s when things go wrong, very wrong! We are all diverse people with diverse culture and traditions which beautifies us and when all of us come together, we are no less than a piece of art to be admired and appreciated by all. We limit the level of our understandings a little too much. Many of us thinks that unity of a tribe is about supporting and defending or being there for each other which is not wrong but we, most of the times tend to used such understandings in the wrong way. “If you are emotionally attached to your tribes or political leaning to the point that truth and justice become secondary considerations, your education is useless, your exposure is useless. If you cannot reason

from authorised dealers or registration of vehicles at regional transport offices, of non BS-VI compliant vehicles. As per Indian Emissions Regulations(ARAI), BS-VI norms shall implement use of BS-VI fuel grade with only 10 parts per million (ppm) sulphur content, compared to 50ppm in BS-IV fuel. The most hazardous components of pollutants like PM 2.5 and PM 10, which can cause cancer, shall be reduced by a phenomenal 80%, in case of diesel engines. It should be noted that diesel engines generate more pollutants compared to petrol engines; hence, a major concern bears on the diesel city buses that ply for almost 10 hours a day within our City limits. Considering the development of modern-day public transport buses and consequences of harmful emissions, our city buses need to be upgraded and modernised. Whereas the viability of acquiring the coveted e-buses or even CNG buses maybe questionable for now, there has to be interventions in upgrading the existing fleet, even in terms of equipments and meeting the regulated emission norms. For instance, the GPS trackers, if fitted in buses, can greatly enhance the traffic management, increase reliability and improve the service in general. Similarly, the hydraulic lifts can help accessibility for disabled and elderly people, panic buttons for emergency situations, information display systems for passenger convenience, etc. With respect to cutting the emission levels, existing bus fleet will have to be analysed and older buses should be replaced strategically without hampering the city public transport service. The City Bus Owners Union Kohima can play a vital role in taking the collective decision in the right direction, while the Municipal Council can strongly advocate suitable standards for city buses. Kohima Smart City Development Ltd. can facilitate the process by drawing in the appropriate vehicle manufacturing companies and financial institutions for financing, assist in acquiring and installing necessary equipment and features, provide display informations and improve the public transport management. The Transport Authority also should take note of the upcoming developments and adhere strictly to the latest norms. A collective effort from all stakeholders shall ensure that public transportation is safe, convenient, and comfortable; more importantly, environment remains lesser polluted and we inhale clean air each day as we go bustling about in our scenic hilly town of Kohima.

beyond petty sentiments and tribal attachments, you are a liability to mankind”, Dr. Yusuf Bala Usman. The point to all the things that I’ve written is, we need to stop blaming and complaining over every little thing and start questioning ourselves because there are so many rooms of improvement for us where we need to make things right again. Most of us are being those heavy thick clouds covering the brightness which is why our world is still gray yet we blame someone else for being those thick clouds. Many have come and gone, there were fighters, activist, leaders, and so on, many taught us the moral values of life, many spoke to us of how a responsible citizen should be. It’s not like we have never come across such teachings before but why is it so hard for us to do something that we already know will be good for us and the people? Is this where we have gone wrong?

Why is it easy for us to blame and criticise others but so difficult to live as responsible beings? Is it because we are lazy? Is it because we are irresponsible? Is it because we think we will be judged by others? Is it because we think too low of ourselves? Or is it because we are afraid? The future lies in our hands. Our dreams will come true one day. We will have brightness filled with songs of joy and laughter in the morning; sleeps filled with sweetness of peace and happiness at night; we only need to start living as responsible citizens and contribute to the society. We can always try to be a better person, we can always try to live a better life, we can always try to be the future we want to see in others. It is better to try and fail than to never try and fail and regret for the rest of our lives. Kepevino Hozoyeh, Medziphema Town

Be sincere in duty

Naga Christians (believers) are very faithful in the Church in terms of honesty and Outward appearance. On the other hand, in government offices, duties are very neglected and irregular. They tend to forget about the public grievances and troubles. Comparing our behaviors’ with the Bible, it is completely in contradiction with the word of the Bible as we fail horribly at work.

India, Myanmar army conduct ops to protect Kaladan project diplomatically ahead of the operation with the two armies holding several meetings to plan it, it was by no means a cross-border strike as is being portrayed in some reports. “We operated in coordination with the Myanmar army and our main aim was to prevent these elements from moving into India,” said a senior officer in the military establishment, who did not want to be named. “We don’t need to cross the Myanmar border because there is a mutual understanding on both sides and the Myanmar army largely obliges with whatever we ask them for,” said a senior army officer closely monitoring the North East. “The Myanmar rebels have been creating more problems on their side than ours. At their request, we had killed 5 of their rebels and captured 8-10 on our side in 2017. Thus, the Myanmar army, too, struck the separatist NSCN (K) HQ in Taga on our behalf,” the officer said.

New Delhi, Mar 15 (IANS): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Friday hit out at the Congress over its allegation that China blocking the bid to name Masood Azhar as a “global terrorist” was a diplomatic failure of the Narendra Modi government, saying the proposal was mooted four times but India could get worldwide support only in 2019. She took to Twitter to counter the opposition’s charge and said India secured unprecedented support from the international community for listing Masood Azhar under the UN Sanctions Committee. “I wish to apprise you of the facts regarding listing of Masood Azhar under the United Nations Sanctions Committee. The proposal has been mooted four times. In 2009, India under the UPA Government was the lone proposer. In 2016, India’s proposal was cosponsored by USA, France and UK. In 2017, USA, UK and France moved the proposal,” she said in a series of tweets. Swaraj said in 2019, the proposal was moved by the USA, France and UK and supported by 14

NEW DELHI, MAR 15 (AGENCIES): Senior Indian army officers have confirmed that more than 12000 Indian troops were deployed along the IndiaMyanmar border between February 17 and March 2 but categorically dismissed reports of a cross-border strike by Indian armed forces. The recent deployment, which reportedly comprised mainly of Assam Rifles units being moved south to the Myanmar border, took place simultaneous to a crackdown by the Myanmar army against rebels who were threatening and trying to extort money from Indian personnel working on the USD 484 million Kaladan multi-modal transit transport project in Myanmar being funded by India. The project aims to connect India and Myanmar by sea and land and is expected to be operational by 2020. While the officers confirmed that India and Myanmar were in touch

New Delhi, Mar 15 (AGENCIES): The BJP is likely to release its first list of candidates for the Lok Sabha polls on Saturday, when its central election committee is scheduled to meet, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, party president Amit Shah and other top BJP leaders in attendance. The list will have the names of most of the candidates for the first phase of polling on April 11 for 91 seats. Elections to 543 constituencies will be held in seven phases till May 19 and the counting of votes will be taken up on May 23. All the 42 seats in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana will go to the polls in the first phase. A fraction of constituencies in many States, including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Odisha and Assam, will also witness polling that day. Assembly polls in Telangana and Odisha will be held simultaneously with the general election. With Modi known for dropping a number of incumbents in order to beat the anti-incumbency factor, the BJP is abuzz with speculation over the fate of the sitting MPs.

New Delhi, Mar15 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday sought the Election Commission’s response on a plea by 21 opposition parties seeking audit of at least 50 per cent of EVMs with corresponding Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trails (VVPATs). Issuing the notice to the poll panel, the bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justice Deepak Gupta and Justice Sanjiv Khanna directed the election panel to depute an officer to assist the court on the next hearing of the matter on March 25. “Matter will be heard on March 25, 2019. The Election Commission of India to be served through the Secretary. The competent authority of the Election Commission of India

verifying the votes exercised through EVMs with VVPAT that is undertaken by the election panel at present. The top court had on January 7 sought the poll panel’s response on a PIL by a retired bureaucrat, a former army officer and a former diplomat seeking to increase the cross-verification of the VVPATs with EVMs from the current 10 per cent to 30 per cent for this year’s general elections. In their plea, retired Indian Army Officer and former IAS officer M.G. Devasahayam, former Indian Foreign Service Officer K.P. Fabian and retired banker and All India Bank Officers Confederation General Secretary Thomas Franco Rajendra Dev had described as “manifestly arbitrary, irrational, unreasonable and, inter alia, in violation of Article 14” of the Constitution, the Election Commission’s decision to “confine such a crossverification exercise to a statistically insignificant number of approximately only one polling station in each constituency, regardless of the number of polling stations in such a constituency”. The PIL is still pending.

declaration of results in the general elections. Earlier in February, the opposition parties approached the EC to audit at least 50 per cent of EVMs with corresponding VVPATs in all constituencies during the Lok Sabha polls. The parties had said there are “serious doubts about the credibility of EVMs and the purity of the entire electoral process” and asked the EC to mandate physical countercheck of paper trail and match it with the electronic vote in at least 50 per cent of all EVMs, if not all. The 21 opposition party leaders had challenged the Election Commission’s decision to verify VVPAT of only one randomly selected booth of a constituency. Speaking to media persons later, senior counsel Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that verifying the VVPAT of just one randomly selected booth in a constituency would account for just 0.44 per cent of the votes polled and this would defeat the entire purpose of attaching VVPAT to EVMs for recording votes in printed form. He described as “ornamental” and without substance the exercise of

Central Bank, United Bank, UCO Bank and Indian Overseas Bank are the PCA banks requiring help to meet minimum regulatory capital norms. With the February round, the government has so far pumped Rs 1.90 lakh crore into PSBs since it announced the recapitalisation plan in October 2017.

India’s merchandise exports rose to USD 26.67 billion in February from USD 26.03 per cent in the year-ago month mainly on account of higher shipments in sectors such as pharmaceutical, engineering and electronics. Imports declined by 5.4 per cent to USD 36.26 billion in the last month, narrowing the trade deficit to USD 9.6 billion. The gap between imports and exports was USD 12.3 billion in February 2018, and USD 14.73 billion in January 2019. As per the data, the decline in imports was mainly on account of sharp decline in inward shipments of gold and petroleum products. While the import of

Global students demand action on climate

Canberra, Mar 15 (IANS): Thousands of schoolchildren across the world, inspired by 16-yearold Swedish environment activist Greta Thunberg who has been nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize, abandoned their classrooms on Friday to demand action on climate change as part of a global youth campaign. The protests in about 100 countries, including India, were a part of a movement started by Thunberg, who protests every Friday outside Sweden’s Parliament. Scientists say that tougher measures are needed to cut global warming, the Guardian reported. In India, several students joined the “Fridays for Future” movement seeking action on climate change. Pictures and videos shared by Greenpeace International on Twitter showed students in Delhi and Gurugram holding placards and posters urging action over climate change. “We demand clean air, water and soils for our

safe future,” tweeted Greenpeace, sharing a photograph which shows a row of students in their uniforms holding placards with slogans against air pollution. The Paris climate agreement of 2017 committed nearly 200 countries to keeping global temperatures “well below” 2.0 Celsius (3.6F) above pre-industrial times and to striving for a maximum of 1.5 Celsius.

At one of the largest protests, in Sydney, the protesters held up banners with slogans such as “The seas are rising and so are we”, “You’re burning our future” and “There is no planet B”. The students ignored calls from authorities to stay in class. A leader of the student movement, 15-yearold Vivienne Paduch, led

the crowd of protesters in a chance of “the youth are rising, no more compromising”. “We really want everyone to know that the fight for climate justice and the fight for climate action really is a global fight and involves equity for everyone”, Paduch said. Hundreds of school students gathered in Stockholm’s central square.

Thunberg joined the crowd in the Swedish capital and said: “We have been born into this world and we have to live with this crisis, and our children and our grandchildren. “We are facing the greatest existential crisis humanity has ever faced. And yet it has been ignored. You who have ignored it know who you are.” In New Zealand, Climate Change Minister James Shaw, who was assaulted on Thursday on his way to Parliament, came out in support for the strikers in Wellington, still sporting a black eye. In London, thousands of schoolchildren poured into Parliament Square brandishing banners declaring “Coral not coal” and “Stop denying the earth is dying”. The big crowd in central London on its way to Whitehall blocked traffic and chanted slogans. Hundreds of children converged on the Scottish Parliament building in Edinburgh.

9 Boeing black box review begins in France PARIS/ADDIS ABABA, mar 15 (Agencies): Investigators in France on Friday examined the black boxes of a Boeing 737 MAX that crashed in Ethiopia, as a spooked global airline industry waited to see if the cause was similar to a disaster in Indonesia months before. According to Reuters, Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 crashed soon after takeoff from Addis Ababa last weekend, killing 157 people, the second such calamity involving Boeing’s flagship new model after a jet came down off Indonesia in October with 189 people on board. In both cases, pilots asked to return minutes into flight. The international repercussions are huge. Regulators have grounded the 737 MAX around the world, and the U.S. planemaker has halted next deliveries of the several thousand planes on order for a model intended to be the future industry workhorse.

‘Man who grabbed Mosque shooter, saved us all’: Survivor CHRISTCHURCH, Mar 15 (Agencies): Hours after a right-wing extremist killed 49 worshippers at two mosques in New Zealand’s Christchurch, a survivor of Indian origin today recalled how the heroism of an unidentified man in their midst prevented the incident from turning into a much bigger tragedy. “We were in a small mosque - measuring about a hundred square metres - and when you have a gunman coming in and opening fire in such circumstances, your heart beats faster and you can’t feel anything,” Faisal Sayed, who has been living in New Zealand for over 10 years, told NDTV. “But a friend and I witnessed this gentleman creep up behind the shooter and hold him until his gun dropped.” Mr Sayed said the unidentified man’s heroic action left the shooter with little choice but to rush for the door. “If that hadn’t happened, many more would have died and I wouldn’t be here now. Hats off to that man; I will definitely try and

look him up,” he added. The survivor said that the incident has left him with no ill-feelings towards his adoptive country, and reiterated his belief that New Zealand was one of the safest places in the world. “I can’t speak for anybody else, but I have been in this beautiful country for the last 10 years and I don’t see my loved ones, my family or even my community facing any challenges. I will never be the one to pass judgment based on a single incident,” he explained. So, did the thought of leaving New Zealand not cross his mind at all? “Not an option,” said Mr Sayed. “I love New Zealand, I love the people around here, and I have received more calls from Kiwi families and friends than anybody else. Even people I worked with over 10 years ago have been texting to find out if everything is alright.” According to the survivor, the need of the hour was to reassure affected families and ensure that the incident is not blown out of proportion.

UK MPs vote by majority to delay Brexit Over 371,000 Syrians killed in civil war: War monitor L o n d o n, M a r 1 5 (IANS): UK MPs have voted in favour of delaying the Brexit process by at least three months, acknowledging that more time was needed to break the deadlock over Britain’s departure from the European Union (EU), although a call for a second referendum was decisively rejected. On Thursday night, the MPs voted 412 votes to 202 to approve of Prime Minister Theresa May’s plan to delay Brexit, after the House of Commons earlier this week overwhelmingly rejected her withdrawal agreement by a large margin, for a second time, and then voted to reject a no-deal Brexit, CNN reported. The votes were the last

in a series of vital parliamentary decisions on Brexit over several days, mean that Britain’s departure from the EU should not now take place before June 30 and gave May a window to resuscitate her plan. May will now ask European leaders to grant an extension to Article 50, the mechanism taking the UK out of the EU on March 29. Unless a delay is approved by all 27 remaining EU leaders, Britain is heading for a chaotic exit on March 29. The MPs, earlier on Thursday, rejected an attempt to secure another Brexit referendum by 334 votes to 85, the BBC said. They also rejected a cross-party plan to allow MPs to take control of the Brexit process

North Korea may break off US talks: Top official Pyongyang, Mar 15 (IANS): North Korean leader Kim Jong-un may break off denuclearisation talks with the US and resume missile and nuclear testing, a senior official here said on Friday. Vice Foreign Minister Choe Sun-hui told foreign diplomats here that Washington threw away “a golden opportunity” at the Vietnam summit between US President Donald Trump and Kim, the BBC reported. Choe accused the US of taking a “gangster-like” stance at the February summit which was held to discuss the regime’s denuclearisation process. Trump and Kim first met in Singapore last year. North Korea had earlier offered to dismantle its main Yongbyon nuclear complex. But talks collapsed

France freezes assets of JeM chief Paris, Mar 15 (IANS): The French government announced on Friday that it has decided to freeze the assets of Masood Azhar, the founder and leader of the Pakistan-based Jaish-eMohammed (JeM) terrorist group, a media report said. A joint statement issued by the French Interior Ministry, Finance Ministry and Foreign Ministry said that France would also discuss putting Azhar on an European Union list of people suspected of being involved in terrorism, Reuters reported. Pakistan is under pressure from many countries to act against terrorist groups including the JeM, which claimed responsibility for the February 14 suicide bombing in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 40 CRPF personnel.

after Trump refused to lift sanctions unless Pyongyang destroyed all its nuclear sites. “We have no intention to yield to the US demands in any form, nor are we willing to engage in negotiations of this kind,” she told reporters in North Korea, according to Russian state Tass news agency. Choe said that North Korea’s demand during the summit was for five key economic sanctions to be lifted, not all sanctions, as Trump said after talks broke down. “What is clear is that the US has thrown away a golden opportunity this time. I’m not sure why the US came out with this different description. We never asked for the removal of sanctions in their entirety.”

to hold a series of votes on the next steps, by the narrow margin of two votes. Meanwhile, most MPs from the ruling Conservative Party voted against delaying Brexit - including seven cabinet members - meaning May had to rely on Labour and other opposition votes to get it through. But some opposition Labour frontbenchers resigned to defy party orders to abstain on a vote on holding another referendum. Shadow housing minister Yvonne Fovargue, shadow education minister Emma Lewell-Buck, shadow business minister Justin Madders, Ruth Smeeth, a shadow ministerial aide, and Labour whip Stephanie Peacock, all resigned to oppose one.

L o n d o n, M a r 1 5 (IANS): More than 371,000 Syrians have been killed since the beginning of the Syrian Civil War in 2011, a United Kingdom-based war monitor reported on Friday. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) was able to document the 371,222 Syrian war dead, saying that the overall death toll may exceed 570,000 dead given the large numbers of foreign fighters involved in the conflict as well as 88,000 prisoners who were tortured to death in detention centres set up by the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. Of the officially recorded 371,222 dead,

An estimated 65,726 non-Syrians died in the fighting. They were mainly from the Arab World but also included Afghans and Iranians belonging to radical armed groups, such as the Islamic State terror organization and the Levant Front, a Syrian rebel group.

New Facebook technology to curb revenge porn

o deal with the problem of non-consensual intimate images, often referred to as revenge porn, on its platform, Facebook on Friday announced new detection technology and an online support hub to help people respond when this abuse occurs. Called “Not Without My Consent,” the resource hub will help victims find organisations and resources to support them, including steps they can take to remove the content from Facebook and prevent it from being shared further, Antigone Davis, Facebook’s Global Head of Safety, said in a statement. “We’re also going to make it easier and more intuitive for victims to report

when their intimate images were shared on Facebook,” Davis said. Facebook said it will also build a victim support toolkit to give people around the world more information with locally and culturally relevant support. “By using machine learning and artificial intelligence, we can now proactively detect near nude images or videos that are shared without permission on Facebook and Instagram,” Davis said. “This means we can find this content before anyone reports it, which is important for two reasons: often victims are afraid of retribution so they are reluctant to report the content themselves or are unaware the content has been shared,” he added. A specially-trained member of Facebook’s Community Operations team will review the content found by its technology.

ctor Johnny Depp has accused his former wife Amber Heard of domestic abuse. Depp, who filed a $50 million defamation case against Heard earlier this month, denied Heard’s accusations of domestic abuse against him, claiming that she used to abuse him instead, reports nme.com. In the counter-lawsuit, Depp has accused Heard of being a “perpetrator” of domestic abuse and alleged that she attacked him numerous times, including an incident where Heard “violently” threw a bottle of vodka at him which “severed (his) middle finger on his right hand and shattered the bones, causing him to require surgery”.

oogle has recently filed a patent which suggests that the search-engine giant could be interested in a “Z-fold” display technology that could bend in two different places without breaking. The patent does not mention the word “phone” even once, instead it refers to how the display could be used by “modern computing devices” which could refer to tablets or laptops, The Verge reported on Thursday. The search engine giant’s interest in foldable smartphones is being speculated to be more inclined towards the software aspect of their designs, because typically, Google does not produce displays or handsets on its own. Hence it is also likely that Google licences the foldable screen out to a third-party rather than producing it by itself. Google added support for foldable displays into Android in November. (IANS)

Tech bridging music boundaries for the blind

P

eople across the world make music in one form or the other but for the visually impaired, the universal language of mankind is somewhat blurred from the very onset. Not anymore. Moving beyond Braille music and by-ear lessons, technology has come to their rescue in couple of apps that are helping people who are either blind or with lowvision learn and make music anytime, anywhere. There is, however, one technology that has left apps somewhere behind in the race: the new-age ‘haptic baton’ from British Paraorchestra, the world’s only large-scale ensemble for professional disabled musicians. Most musicians read music and follow a conductor with their eyes, but visually impaired and blind musicians not only need to memorise scores, they also find a non-visual way of taking cues from a conductor. The upbeat -- when the

conductor raises their baton to indicate the start of the piece or change of tempo -- is ‘sensed’ by blind musicians, perhaps by listening for an intake of breath or movement from the person next to them. The haptic baton has a microchip inside that transmits wireless signals communicating the precise movements of the conductor to devices worn on the wrists or ankles of the musicians. “The devices translate the signals into vibrations enabling the musicians to follow a conductor,” says Laura Evans from Paraorchestra. For the first-time, the ensemble recently performed Beethoven’s fifth Symphony along with a new piece by a South Korean composer to an invited audience. Paraorchestra partnered with Human Instru-

South Korean composer. There are also some apps to help the visually challenged learn music. TalkingTuner is an iOS app that talks to you if your instrument is in tune or not, so you don’t even have to look at it or touch the display. With the “Auto-Speak” switch turned on, Talking Tuner will listen for a note to be played, and then, at the end of the sound, will speak the name of the musical note, and how sharp or flat the note is estimated to be. Talking Tuner uses speech synthesis and works with or without VoiceOver being enabled. Then there is Samsung Audio Acordes (Chords) which is a free Android app that teaches people with visual impairment to play the guitar in a practical and intuitive way.

ollywood is buzzing that Steven Spielberg and Netflix are calling a truce in a public battle over the Oscars. The iconic “Jaws” director — who’s reportedly been pushing for the Oscars to create guidelines that would keep streaming services from competing for Academy Awards — was spotted this week having dinner with Netflix honcho Ted Sarandos at LA’s most private members club. Said a source of the sit-down at uber-exclusive San Vicente Bungalows, “This is being seen around town as a truce between two of the most powerful men in Hollywood who are not getting along.”

Spielberg has never publicly mentioned his stance on Netflix, but has previously said of streaming films and the Oscars, “I don’t believe films that are just given token qualifications in a couple of theaters for less than a week should qualify for the Academy Award nomination.” Netflix’s “Roma” just won three Oscars, after a three-week run in theaters, and the service has a number of awards contenders lined up for next year, including Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman.” Spielberg is on the Academy Awards board of governors and was reportedly pushing for films to play theaters for a month before streaming.

Anybody want to sign us up?” Last fall, guitarist Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman told Junkee that The Offspring has been “spending a bit of time in the studio” with producer Bob Rock, who also worked on the band’s last two albums. “He’s great, man — we get along with him really well,” the guitarist said. At the time of the Junkee interview, Noodles said that The Offspring had been contemplating releasing all of its new music on two separate albums. “I think there’s a record’s worth in there, but we’re thinking that maybe the songs are just a little too different,” he said. “We know there’s a song or two on every record that comes out of left field for us, but it’s more than just a couple this time. Right now, we’re entertaining the idea of doing two records — one where we can put all of these, and another of straight-up Offspring songs.” The Offspring debuted a new song called “It Won’t Get Better” live in concert last June and has been performing it ever since. Noodles described the track as “kind of like a straight-forward Offspring song.” The Offspring’s last single, “Coming For You”, dropped in 2015. (Blabbermouth)

Kevin Satizabal, who is a pianist and a blind, had to sit close to the conductor and listen for their breathing to know when to begin. “But if you’re in a big orchestra, and you’re miles from the conductor, that’s going to be really, really difficult information to pick up and this technology essentially plugs you into the conductor’s movements, which is really exciting,” he said in a statement posted on Paraorchestra’s website. “It emulates what a sighted musician sees,” said conductor Charles Hazlewood who successfully trialled the technology with a dozen blind and sighted musicians at a performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and a new work by a

Although Rennes hit the post early in the second period, they were mostly toothless and Aubameyang cemented the victory with another goal from close range after 72 minutes. Arsenal became only the second team in Europa League history to win a tie after losing the first leg 3-1. Chelsea’s French striker Giroud, the competition’s top scorer this season, got his seventh and eighth goals before Marcos Alonso tapped in a third just before halftime. Giroud netted his third goal after 59 minutes when he headed home a Willian free kick and Callum Hudson-Odoi added a fifth to cap an 8-0 aggregate vic-

The perfect hat-trick – goals with his left and right foot plus a header - was Giroud’s first for Chelsea and the win was the London club’s ninth in 10 European games this season and their biggest in the UEFA Cup or Europa League. In the only tie between two former winners of the UEFA Cup, the predecessor to the Europa league, Eintracht stunned threetime champions Inter with a 1-0 victory that took them through.
