X predicted 102-110, 72-78 and 35-39 seats for the BJP, Congress and JD(S) respectively. India Today predicted the vote share of the Congress and the BJP at 39 per cent and 35 per cent, respectively. The respective prediction by Republic TV for the
two parties was 36 and 38.25 per cent. The channels were, however, revising the figures as more data was pouring in this evening.
70% voter turnout, figure likely to go up Polling was held in 222 constituencies of the
224-member Assembly as elections in two constituencies were been countermanded-- in Jayanagara, following the death of BJP candidate and sitting MLA B.N Vijaykumar-- and in Rajrajeshwari Nagar after the Election Commission of India said there is “definite inference” to suggest that efforts were made to induce voters. The Election Commission said that the voter turnout till 6 p.m. in the evening was 70 per cent. It, however, said that figures are likely to go up. Any party will need the support of 113 MLAs to form a new government. The 2008 assembly elections in Karnataka was won by BJP comfortably with 110 seats, whereas the Congress swept the 2013 assembly elections with 122 seats. An interesting fact about Karnataka is that between 1978 and 2008, parties ruling at the Centre failed to take lead in the state. However in 2013, Congress which was in power at the Centre, broke the jinx and was voted to power in Karnataka as well.
Assam: Cracks in alliance over anti-bill issue GUWAHATI, MAY 12, (AGENCIES): Amid continuing public outcry against Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 in Brahmaputra valley, the three-party BJPled alliance government in Assam has been divided in three camps. BJP, which is the senior partner in the coalition government, said the government would take a stand after the completion of the updating process of National Register of Citizens. BJP’s partner Asom Gana Parishad has opposed the proposed amendment while the third partner in the coalition, Bodoland People’s Front, said it would maintain a neutral stand and would not get involved in the controversy. Industry minister Chandra Mohan Patowary said the government will not do anything against the interests of the people. Assam chief minister, Sarbananda Sonowal has stayed away from any public appearance and making any statement on the bill since protests started from Monday when the Joint Parliamentary Committee visited the state for public hearing.

GUWAHATI, MAY 12 (AGENCIES): Northeast Students’ Organisation (NESO), led by its adviser Samujjal Bhattacharyya on Saturday staged a sit-indemonstration here against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016. NESO, a conglomerate of students’ organisations from the Northeast including the All Assam Students’ Union, Khasi Students’ Union, Naga Students’ Federation, Garo Students’ Union, All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union, during the protest near Dighalipukhuri of the city, demanded scrapping of the controversial bill. I n t e r e s t i n g l y, t h e
Krishak Mukti Sangram Samity (KMSS) chief Akhil Gogoi, with whom AASU has huge ideological difference, also joined the protest. This is for the first time presents’ leader Gogoi has chaired dais with the AASU leadership. AASU president Dipanka Kumar Nath and general secretary Lurinjyoti Gogoi and other leaders of other northeastern student bodies took part in the demonstration. NESO adviser Bhattacharyya said the proposed bill would turn the Northeast into a “dumping ground” for illegal migrants which could never be accepted by the people of the region.
The bill seeks to grant citizenship to ‘persecuted’ Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who came to India before December 31, 2014. AASU, which is a part of the NESO, faced flak from different quarters for its alleged passive role against the bill. Few individuals and organisations even staged a protest against the influential students’ body as the leaders of the organisation skipped the public hearing in Guwahati on May 7 being conducted by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016. The NESO, led by its chairman Samuel B. Jyrwa and adviser Samujjal Bhattacharyya, however, met the JPC and submitted a petition against the bill during the public hearing in Shillong on Friday. NESO will also hold protests against the bill in all North-eastern states on May 21 besides asking chief ministers of all the seven states to follow the example set by Meghalaya Government.
Teachers cannot be deployed for More thunderstorms, North Korea to destroy nuclear poll duty on working days: ANSTA squalls likely to hit NE site ahead of US summit: KCNA DIMAPUR, MAY 12 (NPN): All Nagaland School Teachers Association (ANSTA) has expressed serious concern over deployment of school teachers for forthcoming Lok Sabha bypoll duty, saying it was in total violation of the December 6, 2007 Supreme Court judgment. According to ANSTA president, Ponchulo Wanth, general secretary Visato Koso and treasurer Temjenyapang, the apex court in its 14-paged judgment had categorically ruled that teachers cannot be deployed for election duty during working days/ working hours. The court has directed that all teaching staffs must only be put on election duties and electoral revision work on holidays and non-teaching days. The court also observed that though holding of election was of paramount importance, the purpose of educating children cannot be neglected. It said bal-
ance between the two must be maintained as right to education being a fundamental right is equally important as right to exercise franchise. Thus, the court had given restricted meaning to the provisions of the Representation of the People Act 1950 and the Representation of the People Act 1951, ANSTA added. However, ANSTA alleged that the state government, in violation of the apex court’s order, has deployed many government school teachers of the Lok Sabha by-election. And for this purpose, it said that training was scheduled from May 14, 2018. ANSTA pointed out that all the training days including polling day fall on working/teaching days, depriving students from obtaining daily instructions from their teachers during such period. It would not only make the teachers miss classes, but would lead to unfinished courses resulting in high dropout rates and poor
results of government schools. Instead, ANSTA suggested the authority concerned to deploy those government employees who were without any assignments/ work. This way it would lessen the burden of teachers and cater to the academic needs of the students, since normal classes resumed just recently after the state assembly elections, ANSTA stated. The association said many teachers were also engaged for state assembly polls, besides almost all the government schools were utilized for election training and security accommodation, followed by conduct of HSLC and HSSLC examination as centres. In view of the facts and circumstances, ANSTA has fervently requested the competent authority to exempt teachers from election duty in the larger academic interest of the students and in line with Supreme Court’s judgment.
GUWAHATI/DIMAPUR, MAY 12 (AGENCIES/NPN): Weather in North East India is more or less going to remain the same with thunderstorms and rains likely to hit the region on Sunday. According to IMD, thunderstorm accompanied with squall with wind speed reaching 50-70 kilometres per hour are very likely” at isolated places over Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. It may be mentioned that incessant rains and thunderstorms have wreaked havoc in many parts of Northeast with uprooted trees, damaged house, landslide becoming a day to day sight. CAPF appeals: Chessore Area Public Forums (CAPF) on Saturday informed that due to the recent incessant rainfall, Chessore area witnessed major landslide, cutting off all road connectivity from Chessore via Tuensang (Helipong road), Shamator and Chessore via Aghunato. CAPF acting president C Throngso and general secretary Kiumukam have appealed to the competent authority for immediate help without delay.
SEOUL, MAY 12 (AGENCIES): North Korea will destroy its nuclear test site later this month, ahead of a summit with the United States, it said on Saturday, blowing up its tunnels in front of invited foreign media. The display at Punggye-ri, in the northwest of the country, will be another step in leader Kim Jong Un’s charm offensive. The dialogue brokered by Seoul has seen US-North Korea relations go from trading personal insults and threats of war last year to a summit between Kim and President Donald Trump due in Singapore on June 12. But sceptics warn that Pyongyang has yet to make any public commitment to give up its arsenal, which includes missiles capable of reaching the United States. Washington is seeking the “complete, verifiable and
irreversible denuclearisation” of the North. Punggye-ri has hosted all six of the North’s nuclear tests, the latest and by far the most powerful in September last year, which Pyongyang said was an H-bomb. Kim has declared the development of the North’s nuclear force complete and that it had no further need for the site. The tunnels of the test site will be blown up and their entrances completely blocked, the ministry statement said. Reporters from China, Russia, the United States, Britain and South Korea will be allowed to cover the event on site. A ceremony for the dismantling of the facility has been scheduled between May 23-25, Pyongyang’s foreign ministry said, according to the official KCNA news agency.
Say no to plastic, eat your cutlery instead! State BJP, others mourn K. Medom’s demise KOLKATA, MAY 12 (IANS): Edible cutlery could be the perfect replacement for harmful plastic disposables like spoons, even as the law and food standard authorities anywhere in the world are silent on the hygiene of utensils or cutlery used to serve delicacies. “Food Safety and Standards Authority of India talks about food safety in India. FDA (US) talks about how food is to be prepared hygienically. But for some reasons, law anywhere in the world is absolutely silent on the hygiene of the utensils used to serve your food or the unhygienic reuse of cutlery,” said Narayana Peesapaty from Hyderabad, who has designed an edible spoon made of millet flour. “So even if you catch someone red-handed for
putting something to reuse you cannot book him because there is no law that prohibits it,” Peesapaty said on Friday while delivering a lecture organised by Central Research and Training Laboratory CRTL, the research wing of National Council of Science Museums NCSM. The most hazardous cutlery used is the plastic disposables.
“I wanted to do a life-cycle analysis of the disposable cutlery. Since it is a use and throw product eventually it should land in the garbage bin. So, I wanted to start my research there and I did not find a single plastic spoon in the garbage bin,” said Peesapaty. The plastic spoons are being re-used very unhygienically without proper washing. Even the
first user of the spoon is not safe because no one washes a plastic spoon that is coated with the lubricating oil used in the plastic cutlery mould. The plastic cutlery, which is a by-product of petroleum, contains several neuro-toxins and carcinogens. These toxins slowly enter the human body, said Peesapaty. Edible cutlery made of millets is filled with various nutrients and contains no preservatives and still has a shelf life of more than three years. Millets had lost their significance as food and hence, to bring millet cultivation he thought out of the box and came up with the novel idea. Edible cutlery made of millets answers many environmental problems. They have brought back dryland cropping, thus saving water.

DIPHU, MAY 12: In an unfortunate incident, a pregnant woman died on the way to hospital at Paklangso located within Bokajan Police Station yesterday. According to the villagers and the relatives of the deceased, Monjir Hansepi (20) of No. 2 Paklangso Maising Timung village who was in labor died while being taken to the hospital by her family members. The family members reportedly balmed the poor road conditions as the main cause of delay in taking Monjir to the hospital. Doctor’s office of Bokajan hospital declared that the woman died due to delay in arrival for delivery. People of the locality have squarely blamed bad road condition for Monjir’s death. The road from Paklangso village is in terrible condition for vehicle to ply so the villagers had to carry the Monjir on a stretcher to take her to the hospital by foot. After carrying her on foot for 3 kilometers they reached the highway and from there they hired an auto rickshaw to the hospital. “The road at Paklangso No. 2 village is in extreme bad condition, the auto which was carrying the pregnant woman could drive only at minimum speed. We knew she could not survive without the much needed medical help and that’s because of bad road,” local said angrily.

Various placards demanding punishment to the MLA or politicians involved and protecting the rapists were also displayed at the protest sites. Talking to reporters, a student leader said that Prime Minister’s ambitious campaign - Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao scheme was being made a mockery by the BJP-led government in Manipur. “The Central government campaigning for saving the girl child while the government in the state is harbouring the rapists, giving protection to them,” he alleged.

Migrants (Determination by Tribunal) Act repealed, no JPC had come then. This time people have been given top priority,” he said. Protests were staged against the Bill in front of the venue where the JPC hearing was held as people feared that it would breach the clauses of the Assam Accord. The Accord states that all illegal foreigners from Bangladesh who had settled in Assam after March 25, 1971 would have to be deported irrespective of religion. In the Bengali-dominated Barak Valley, a majority of the 315 opinions submitted to the JPC were in favour of the Bill, and people carrying placards formed a long human chain in its support. Leaders of the ruling BJP and the Opposition Congress supported the Bill, even as their counterparts had opposed it in the Brahmaputra Valley. Following the JPC hearings, protests had broken out in the Brahmaputra Valley against the Bill. Students organisations like AASU, AJYCP, ruling alliance partner AGP and the pro-talk ULFA faction organised mass agitational programmes.

NEW D ELHI , M AY 12 (AGENCIES): Commemorating the occasion of International Nurse Day, President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday addressed a gathering at an event organised by the Ministry of Health in the national capital hailing nurses as the ‘true nation builders’. “Indian nurses have earned respect for themselves around the world. In many countries ‘ healthservices, especially in Gulf countries, Indian nurses are serving in large numbers. Their efficient services and disciplined work-style have gained people’s affection and appreciation,” said the President. He also
expressed his gratitude towards the entire nursing community for playing a vital role in keeping our country healthy. “You all (nurses) play a critical role in keeping the country healthy. You have served the country through nursing with loyalty and dedication. This country is thankful to all the nursing personnel,” said President Kovind. “The nursing personnel who have received awards today represent unity in India’s diversity. From Andaman and Nicobar Islands to Daman and Diu and the nursing personnel from Himachal Pradesh to Kerala have received these awards. I congratulate you all,” he added.
Taking to his Twitter account, he highlighted the shortage in the number of nurses in the country, saying, “At present, there are 1.7 nurses per 1,000 people in India, and the world average is 2.5 nurses.

Stronger of the species
O
n mother’s day, which falls on second Sunday of May each year, the occasion is observed throughout the world and in churches, where sermons and congregations shower honour and adulation on mothers. The concept of honouring Mothers began in 1908, when Anna Jarvis dedicated the second Sunday of May to her mother. The event provides an occasion for a mother in every family and also as a reminder on her about the qualities that are attributed to her. Honouring the mother (and father) is a command in the Bible (Ex. 20:12) because it comes from God who promised blessings upon children who honour their parents. A mother is loved because she has the qualities of love, care and compassion and faithfulness. This is the simple nature of a good mother. Mother’s love is an instinct that God created in women and invariably, in a woman who is a mother. Even those who may not be biologically mothers have exhibited the best examples of Godly compassion as in Saint Teresa (earlier Mother Teresa). It is not enough to thank God for mothers, it is also necessary that mothers make the family know God. As the homemaker, the mother is also confronted with the most difficult problem of guiding her husband morally and ethically. Proverbs 31 describes the worth of a Godly Mother, whose virtues are priced far above rubies. The praise and success that she brought to her own family and community will be her best eulogy. Godly mothers also embody loyalty and dedication, faithfulness to their husbands and children. A Godly mother also reaches out to help those in need. Her inward adorning of character and integrity of heart is what makes her most attractive because inward beauty never fades but becomes more precious with time. It may also be pertinent to acknowledge that there are also bad and ungodly mothers, whose lifestyles are adding to the sickness in society. An ungodly mother may love her children and husband in a selfish way because she does not fear God nor care about moral and ethical values. She is vain, pompous, care little for social norms and seeks the comfort of thrill seekers. This is the reason why there are many homes which have fallen under the shadow of ungodly spirits. A Godly mother is a deterrent against her husband falling away. She gains strength from God to endure the stiff challenges thrown against her within and beyond her home. If a mother accepts, obeys and carries out what is right with God, she can save her family. At a public felicitation programme some years back, a respected and reputed woman served a terse reminder on several mothers who were slandering a top politician by calling him corrupt and a thief. She asked if they (women) ever questioned their husbands whenever they brought home large sums of money? The lady reminded the vociferous mothers that charity begins at home and not in others’ homes. Mother’s Day is not a one-day event and cannot be observed with gifts. A Godly mother has the good qualities embedded in her from her mother who taught her the values of godly life. Society can be transformed through Godly mothers who live virtuous lives and who are real gems of society. It is also a moral responsibility of husbands and children to uphold mothers so as to enable them to remain steadfast in playing a pivotal role of bringing healing to society.
DailyDevotion The Habit of Having No Habits If these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful… —2 Peter 1:8 When we first begin to form a habit, we are fully aware of it. There are times when we are aware of becoming virtuous and godly, but this awareness should only be a stage we quickly pass through as we grow spiritually. If we stop at this stage, we will develop a sense of spiritual pride. The right thing to do with godly habits is to immerse them in the life of the Lord until they become such a spontaneous expression of our lives that we are no longer aware of them. Our spiritual life continually causes us to focus our attention inwardly for the determined purpose of self-examination, because each of us has some qualities we have not yet added to our lives. Your god may be your little Christian habit— the habit of prayer or Bible reading at certain times of your day. Watch how your Father will upset your schedule if you begin to worship your habit instead of what the habit symbolizes. We say, “I can’t do that right now; this is my time alone with God.” No, this is your time alone with your habit. There is a quality that is still lacking in you. Identify your shortcoming and then look for opportunities to work into your life that missing quality. Love means that there are no visible habits— that your habits are so immersed in the Lord that you practice them without realizing it. If you are consciously aware of your own holiness, you place limitations on yourself from doing certain things— things God is not restricting you from at all. This means there is a missing quality that needs to be added to your life. The only supernatural life is the life the Lord Jesus lived, and He was at home with God anywhere. Is there someplace where you are not at home with God? Then allow God to work through whatever that particular circumstance may be until you increase in Him, adding His qualities. Your life will then become the simple life of a child.

Struck with her fist, She cries with a loud voice, When I suck my mummy’s breast, Her tears fell on my mouth, I drank her tears with sweetness. Now, I’m resting coz of “that”. By her tears, I could compete with others, Her tears follow me everywhere, Mummy’s tears never will dry, And remains forever and ever, I drank mummy’s tears forever and ever. Vekhucho chakhesang To my Loving Mom. Thank u so much for loving and caring us until today. We pray to God to bless you a long n happy life. Happy mother’s days. From our loving children.
Dear Mummy, There will be so many times you feel like you’ve failed. But in the eyes, heart, and mind of your children you are SuperMom I hope you know how important you are in the world, not just as a mother, but as a woman who has always tried to do her best to be kind, generous, and loving. At the end of the day you are more than just a mother, although being a mother is certainly enough to garner respect and admiration. You are a human being, a strong woman, and one that I am lucky to know and proud to love and be loved by, in return. Imliakum, Nuksang and Ajung Dear Mom, Till this day you’re the person who has made the biggest impact in my life. And I thank you for that. You’re so full of love, faith, and inspiration. One of the things I admire most about you is the spirit of life you instilled in me. You pushed me to be the best version of myself. You taught me to be brave, to have the confidence to achieve my dreams, and to know how to get back up when I fall. I would like to thank you for your teachings. You taught me the art of living life to its fullest to be strong and sweet, smart and kind, confident and respectful, dedicated and happy. I’m grateful for your honest advice. It stings at times, but you teach me the hard lessons in life, what’s right, what’s wrong. I’m glad of your guidance too. Sometimes, when life gets complicated, I became irrational. And you’re there to stop me and put a reality check. Thank you for being supportive. You’ve always been there at every stage of my life, high and low. When I accomplish something, you celebrate with me. When I feel down, you encourage and motivate me. So thank you Mom, for every little thing you do. I know, being a mom is never easy. It can be tough to raise me, with all the sacrifices you’ve made. You’ve always put my happiness and well-being before your own. I really, really feel blessed to be your son to receive your unconditional love, you’re such a wonderful mom. I’m sorry if I upset you sometimes. You know, the typical rebellious as a boy. At times, you come across as nosy and overprotective, while I strive for freedom and independence. We may not always agree, but I understand that actually, you’ve always had my best interests at heart. And for that, I would like to thank you for caring. Last but not least, thank you so much for being my Mom. Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I’ll be always growing as a person, and I really look forward to making even more amazing memories with you in the future. I love you, Mom. I mean it. Happy Mother’s Day! Your son B Kontok Phom
The world must be delivered from the sin of genesis 3 to be caught up in rapture! (From previous issue) The Spiritual injuries inflicted on us from Adam and Eve down to us were beyond human comprehensions and ability to heal, the Advance diagnosing Machines or Microscope can’t see it and cure us. Hence, the sufferings of Jesus Christ according to Scripture (Isaiah 53 etc) speaks the process of Spiritual diagnosing and operation undertaken on us, it speaks the process of our deliverance from the enemies’ hands. It is a matter of mystery, unknown to mortals. Yet, the believers experience it when Christ’s Spirit works in them/us. I share little of my testimony that I am always healed when I looked up to His sufferings and the incredible redemptive works on the Cross of Calvary. Uncountable were my sicknesses and problems but this Jesus Christ has healed me every time I turned unto Him in meditation of His words and prayers. I wrote down this short message by the power of His blood, Salvation and Healings. I have borrowed the inspirations and strengths daily from the Cross of Jesus Christ. This Resurrection Jesus Christ have been wonderfully walking beside me always to give me all things I need from Him. He is more than sufficient for me. He did so much on the Cross of Calvary for unworthy mankind like you and me that we may be totally liberated from the captivity and prison of our enemies, He came to deliver us from the degraded and dangerous life we were in. I share that the extreme sufferings of the Lamb of God, in Jesus Christ undertook to the extent of death and burial were the process of transplanting His heart, His love and His Spirit into us; to transplant Heavenly Characters, Natures, Salvation, and Conquering Spirit into Us. His Resurrection from dead loudly speak to us that He is a Savior and Messiah of God. (See Isa.61:1-2; Ezek. 36:2627; John 12:23-26).
He completed the works of our Salvation that we may become a New Creature in Him/Christ (2Corn.5:17). We may become the citizens of Heaven though we may be living on earth (Phil.3:20; John 17:14-16) for a short period of time. Because we were created by His Spirit and we were descended from God. (Job 33:4; Gen.2:7). This Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God was sent to deliver us from the disastrous state of fall. As people fall from Aeroplane from the midst of the sky so also was human falling from the glory of God. However, His deliverance is obtained when we call upon the Name of Jesus Christ, when we accept Him as our personal Savior. The Assurance of Salvation stands with us, When we cease transgressing God’s word and stop following the desire of fallen man and fallen world, when we practice the commandments of God, the Holy Bible so dear to our hearts and lives. People who have been claimed themselves to be Christians but don’t practices the word of God are hypocrite Christians, they are the Pharisees of this generation. (Mt.23:1-28). Today, we see many Christians who believe their own Concept of Christianity, these people are dangerously clever in transgressing the commandments of God, they hate the Holy Spirit’s Revelations and guidance. They are worst than Adam and Eve because the transgressors of God’s word and people who despises the Holy Spirit will not enter the gate of Heaven unless earnestly repented. The Christians are instructed to practice the word of God for Salvation and rewards in Heaven. (Joshua1:8; Psalm 1:2-3; Mat. 7:24-27; Rev. 22:7,12). 4. THE END TIME IS AT HAND : The urgency of this message is being shared because the time of Jesus Christ second Coming is at hand, the time of Rapture is very close to us where the believers of Christ will be
taken up to Clouds, they will be taken up to Heaven. This is not a time to remain in a custody of Spiritual Terroristsatan or remain in the prison of sin. The time of Jesus Coming is not fixed as the President of USA fixes his touring dates. The exact time and date were not said in the Bible except the Signs of the closer date. However, the believers of Christ worldwide are sharing with intense urgency because the end time signs are happening everywhere signaling the Closer date of Rapture, the Day of the Lord. The Bible says; “..as the Lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” (Mt.24:27).” For the Lord Himself, with a cry of command, with the Archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descent from Heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the Clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever.” (1Thess.4:1617). Revelation 8 onward has told us how the Angels of God were assigned to sound the trumpets in different occasions to bring different devastations/plagues on natures and on the inhabitants of the earth. On that day, God will shake the foundation of the earth, the Sun will turn to darkness, the moon will turn to blood, the stars will fall from Heaven and the power of Heaven will be greatly shaken. And no place will be found for the fallen people/sinners to hide themselves from the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. Prepare for that very terrible judgment day. Jesus said,” Then the Sign of the Son of Man will appear in Heaven and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the Clouds of Heaven with power and great Glory.” (Mat. 24:30). That glorious day of
the Lord will be a day of Salvation, a day of joy for the believers who have acknowledged the Saving Grace of God through our Lord Jesus Christ. It will be a day of victory, a day of great celebration for people who have received their deliverance from the bondages of sins and satan through the sacrificial blood of the Lamb. They will be warmly welcomed to the Kingdom of God to rejoice in the presence of God forever and ever. We should long for such a glorious reception and work out for a safe entry into it, because our Heavenly Father longs to see us and welcome us as the father of a prodigal son welcomed his youngest son with exceeding joy in his heart. On the appearing of the Lord with His Angels in glory, the Saints will be taken to join the Heavenly worship in singing and praising God in the realm of Spirit and joy indefinitely. Their sufferings, shame, sorrows, tears, sicknesses and everything about earthly conflictions and problems will come to an end! Praise the Lord! There will be No more death and no more weeping in Heaven for Jesus Himself will wipe away their tears. They will be in the City of Gold and Great light. They will enjoy the fruit from the tree of life and hidden manna as their food. God will make all things New for them and God Himself will be their Father and they will see Jesus face to face with exceeding joy flooding their hearts. So the Rapture will be the beginning of that joyful life. However, that great day, the Coming of the Lord will be a fearful day for the people who are following the deception of the world, their own composed religions, who are following their invented gods and transgressing their Creator’s law, and who are disobeying the teachings of Christ. It will be a sorrowful day for the people who are following their concept of Christianity without submitting to Holy Bible and the Son of God. The Nominal Christians
who don’t put the word of God to practice (Mt.7:26-27), whose righteousness are not exceeded to the righteousness of Pharisees-(Mt.5:20). They will be thrown into the Fire of Hell to be tormented eternally. On that day, the unbeliever Kings, Prime Ministers, Presidents, Big, Big Officers, Billionaires will find themselves helplessly trembling before the righteous God for their refusal to Holy Bible’s teachings and Commandments. The human being, who possesses a flesh to return to dust/ashes even at the biting of insects and mosquitoes, should not be stubbornly rejecting the Salvation of Christ. Many people are so scared of present days’ wars and violence, they fear Space War, WW-III etc. but living with vacuum knowledge of terrible Day of Judgment, the day of great Tribulation and torments in eternal
Hell speaks the extremities of human degradation and madness. People who don’t love their future, who detest to take shelter in the Kingdom of God are implored to deliver yourself from the second death’s punishments mentioned in Ezk.28:18-19; Mk.9:48; Rev.20:14;21:8 by calling upon the Name of Jesus Christ. CONCLUSION : The people who are not sure of your Salvation, not sure of catching up to Heaven at the appearing of Jesus Christ and who have not yet believed the Gospel of Jesus Christ are earnestly pleaded by the word of God, by the Spirit of God that you may be prepared for Heavenly entry, for your Salvation. Because the second Coming of Jesus Christ, the Day of Rapture is at hand. Amen, Come, Lord Jesus ! (Concluded) Atonoka Swu, (atonokaswu@gmail.com)

An appeal to director school education Nagaland Sir,
Most humbly, the undersigned students would like to seek clarification from your esteemed department in substance in regards to SCERT Nagaland, “National Talent Search Scholarship Examination” held in 2016 for Peren district. We feel proud and jubilant when our names were published in Nagaland Post in 2017 as successful candidates amongst the competitors of scholarship hunt. Being a student among many students, we feel very proud that we have brought laurels to our school and done a small return for our poor parents. In the meantime, we are invited to submit our bank account Xerox copy by the concern department, which was fulfilled by all of us. Now, we are in class 10 without any inkling or intimation of the so called Scholarship for Talented Students neither from the concerned school nor from the department, thus creating confusion and discouragement to the student community. Further, another scholarship examination in the consecutive year 2017 was held again for class 9 students where we appeared again, but all went ‘gain in vain’. As such, we earnestly request your intervention into the matter with priority in solving the problem of the student community at the earliest. Thanking you, sir with positive response. Ilamsaple, Abdul Kadir, Samuel Pwetlang, Haihangsapp, Kudai, Numrangle, Keringsamyile and Heiriesing, (Govt Higher Secondary School, Jalukie, Nagaland

Patna, May 12 (AGENCIES/IANS): Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad, back home on parole for his son Tej Pratap Yadav’s wedding, is mainly staying under the radar. Despite his reputation as a colourful personality, the ailing Prasad is sticking to the conditions laid down by authorities at Birsa Munda Central Jail in Ranchi for granting him three days parole. Parsad, incarcerated at the jail in Jharkhand after his conviction in three fodder scam cases, was being treated at a Ranchi hospital for a host of ailments, including diabetes and kidney disease. Tej Pratap will wed Aishwarya Rai, granddaughter of former Bihar chief minister Daroga Prasad Rai and daughter of RJD MLA Chandrika Rai, at the veterinary grounds in Patna later on Saturday. Since he landed in Patna on Friday, Prasad has remained mostly indoors, choosing to meet only select people inside

his 10, Circular Road residence, while overseeing preparations for the wedding. “Doctors have advised him not to take any physical strain due to his weak health. Lalu took rest in the morning and did attend some rituals in the day,” said, a close aide of the family. On Friday, the RJD chief spent the day sleeping and spoke only to family friends and party leaders for a while in the evening. Later that night, Prasad attended a musical programme on the lawns of house as part of the celebrations for Tej Pratap’s
wedding, according to videos released by the family to the media. After the wedding, Prasad will fly to Ranchi on Monday to report to jail authorities. He is expected to be soon out of jail as he has been granted provisional bail for six weeks for treatment in specialised hospitals.
Political stars gather for wedding
Opposition leaders gathered here on Saturday to attend the wedding of RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s son Tej Pratap Yadav, the festivities made brighter by the presence of the now
jailed former Bihar Chief Minister. Lalu Prasad arrived here on Thursday from Ranchi on parole for three days to attend the elder son’s marriage. But on Friday, the Ranchi High Court granted him six weeks bail. More than 30,000 people were set to attend the event, and many had poured in from all across Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, RJD state President Ram Chander Purve said. According to RJD leader Bhola Yadav, NCP leader Praful Patel, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, dissident BJP MPs Shatrughan Sinha and Kirti Azad and rebel Janata Dal-United leader Sharad Yadav had reached the city. Congress President Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka Gandhi, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and some notable BJP leaders from Bihar were also expected to arrive, Bhola Yadav said.

Chandigarh, May 12 (IANS): Heat wave conditions continued to prevail in most parts of Haryana and Punjab on Saturday with the mercury soaring to 45 degrees in Hisar town in Haryana. However, Chandigarh and its surrounding areas and some parts of Haryana and Punjab were hit by a duststorm on Saturday evening followed by light rain, giving relief from the sweltering weather. The day temperatures at most places in both states were in the 40-45 degrees Celsius mark. Narnaul town in Haryana sizzled at 44.5 degrees, while Bhiwani saw a high of 44 degrees. Chandigarh recorded a high of 40.6 degrees.The maximum temperatures were two to five degrees above average, Met Department officials said here. Amritsar city in Punjab recorded 40.1 degrees, while Patiala and Ludhiana recorded 40.6 and 41.6 degrees, respectively. The Met Department said heat wave conditions would prevail over the region in the coming days.
NEW DELHI, MAY 12 (PTI): A woman can lodge a complaint under the domestic violence law against the excesses committed by her ex-husband even after the dissolution of marriage, the Supreme Court has said. The top court refused to interfere with the order of the Rajasthan high court which held that the absence of subsisting domestic relationship in no manner prevents a court from granting relief to the aggrieved woman. The high court had passed the order while adjudicating a matrimonial dispute. A bench of justices Ranjan Gogoi, R Banumathi and Navin Sinha dismissed the appeal against the high court verdict, saying it was not inclined to interfere with the order in the facts of the case. During the hearing, advocate Dushyant Parashar, appearing for the estranged husband, said that the provisions of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, which came into force on October 26,

the four years of the Narendra Modi government a complete failure and full of deceit, dishonesty, lies and false promises. The incum-
bent government would now spend crores of rupees on false propaganda and publicity on its four years in office, he said. “The Modi government, instead of indulging in fake publicity, should spend time in remorse and repentance. Its two major decisions of demonetisation and GST have proved to be the biggest failures and have ruined the robust Indian economy,” he said. The government failed to tackle corruption, black money and terrorism it had promised through demonetisation and instead, 143 people sacrificed their lives during this exercise. It did not touch the revenue base of about 45% in GST, including that of al-

In a series of tweets on a day when assembly polls are being held in Karnataka, the Patna Sahib BJP MP said the Congress president, who has “matured in the past few years”, was popular with the general public and asked what was wrong if the leader heading the biggest, oldest national party saw a possibility of becoming the next Prime Minister. “Anybody can become PM in our country. Naamdar, Kaamdar, Daamdar or for that matter any average Samajhdaar, if he has the numbers and support. “Why are we making such a hue and cry about it? After all, isn’t it their internal matter and any PMship has to be through verdict of majority,” Sinha said in a series of tweets tagging both Modi and the BJP and signing off with slogans of “Jai Karnataka, Jai Hind!” Modi had mocked Rahul Gandhi’s remarks that he is ready to become the PM if Congress emerges as the largest party in the 2019 general election, calling him immature and ‘naamdar’ (dynast).

It has created a regime of tax terrorism. More than 33% of MSME industry has been closed, resulting in a loss of around 4 crore jobs.

M U M B A I , M AY 1 2 (IANS): India’s foreign exchange (Forex) reserves plunged by $1.42 billion as on May 4, official data showed on Friday. According to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) weekly statistical supplement, the overall forex reserves declined to $418.94 billion from $420.36 billion reported for the week ended April 27. India’s forex reserves comprise of foreign currency assets (FCAs), gold reserves, special drawing rights (SDRs) and the RBI’s position with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Segment-wise, FCAs -- the largest component of the Forex reserves -- decreased by $1.56 billion to $393.71 billion during the week under review.
Traders said, pick-up in demand from industrial units and coin makers at the local spot market, mainly kept silver prices higher. Globally, gold fell 0.25 per cent to USD 1,317.90 an ounce and silver by 0.27 per cent to USD 16.64 an ounce in New York in yesterday’s trade. In the national capital, silver ready rose further by Rs 300 to Rs 41,400 per kg, while weekly-based delivery by Rs 140 to Rs 40,540 per kg. Silver coins, however, continued to be traded at the previous levels of Rs 76,000 for buying and Rs 77,000 for selling of 100 pieces. On the other hand, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity, ruled flat at Rs 32,400 and Rs 32,250 per 10 grams, respectively. It had gained Rs 420 in the previous six days.

The central bank has initiated similar action against other public sector banks, including IDBI Bank Ltd, Indian Overseas Bank and UCO Bank before this.

NEW DELHI, MAY 12 (AGECIES): The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has initiated prompt corrective action against Dena Bank in view of high non-performing assets (NPAs), restricting the bank from giving new loans and new hiring. The public sector bank had on Friday reported widening of its net loss to Rs1,225.42 crore in the March quarter on mounting bad loans and higher provisions to cover them. The net loss stood at Rs575.26 crore in the January-March quarter of 2016-17. Sequentially, the loss widened from Rs380.07 crore in December quarter of 2017-18. “Reserve Bank of India, vide their letter dated May 31, 2017, has initiated Prompt Corrective Action for Dena Bank and imposed certain restrictions, in view of high Net NPA and negative RoA ( return on assets),” the bank said in a regulatory filing.

BENGALURU/MUMBAI, MAY 12 (AGENCIES): Four Indian state banks reported on Friday a combined net loss of Rs 11,729 crore ($1.74 billion) for the fiscal fourth quarter due to a jump in badloan provisions following a tightening of the Reserve Bank of India rules. Bengaluru-headquartered Canara Bank Ltd, the biggest of the four, said its net loss was Rs 4,860 crore for the three months to March 31, compared with a net profit of Rs 214 crore a year earlier. Allahabad Bank reported a net loss of Rs 3,510 crore and UCO Bank a Rs 2,134 crore loss. Dena Bank, the smallest of the four, made a net loss of Rs 1,225 crore. Indian banks, already burdened by a near-record Rs 9.5 lakh crore of soured loans as of last year, were expected to report a further rise in bad loans in the March quarter after the central bank withdrew half a dozen loan-restructuring schemes and tightened some rules in February. The government owns

majority stakes in 21 lenders that account for the bulk of the sector’s bad loans, forcing the government to announce a $32 billion bailout package to help the lenders set aside funds for the soured loans and kickstart new lending. Canara Bank’s gross non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans rose to 11.84 per cent at the end of March, compared with 10.38 per cent in the preceding quarter and 9.63 per cent a year earlier. Provisions for non-performing assets almost tripled from a year earlier to Rs 8,763 crore. Allahabad, UCO and Dena also saw their bad loans and provisions for bad loans rise sharply in the quarter. Union Bank of India, also state-run, reported on Thursday a Rs 2,583 crore net loss for the fourth quarter. Top state lenders State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda and Bank of India are due to report fourth quarter results in the coming days.

Nawaz Sharif admits Pak’s role in 26/11
LAHORE, MAY 12 (PTI): For the first time, Pakistan’s ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif has publicly acknowledged that militant organisations are active in the country and questioned the policy to allow the “non-state actors” to cross the border and “kill” people in Mumbai, a media report said. Sharif, who has been disqualified to hold public office for life by the Supreme Court in the Panama Papers case, said Pakistan has isolated itself. “We have isolated ourselves. Despite giving sacrifices, our narrative is not being accepted. Afghanistan’s narrative is being accepted, but ours is not. We must look into it, Sharif told Dawn. Without naming Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed and Maulana Masood Azhar’s militant organisations -- Jamaatud-Dawah and Jaish-e-
Nawaz Sharif
Mohammad, -- operating in the country with impunity, Sharif said: Militant organisations are active in Pakistan. “Call them non-state actors, should we allow them to cross the border and kill over 150 people in Mumbai? Explain it to me. Why can’t we complete the trial.” The Mumbai attacksrelated trials are stalled in a Rawalpindi anti-terrorism court. He further said: It’s absolutely unacceptable (to allow non-state actors
to cross the border and commit terrorism there). President (Vladimir) Putin has said it. President Xi (Jinping) has said it.” US President Donald Trump had accused Pakistan of giving nothing to the US but “lies and deceit” and providing “safe haven” to terrorists. Sharif, 68, was disqualified by the Supreme Court for not being “honest and righteous” as he failed to declare in 2013 a salary he got from the company of his son in the UAE. In February, the apex court also disqualified Sharif as the head of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). Citing the military and judiciary establishment, Sharif further said: You can’t run a country if you have two or three parallel governments. This has to stop. There can only be one government - the constitutional one.
international Berlusconi can run for office again: Italian court ROME, MAY 12 (AGENCIES): A court in Milan has ruled that Silvio Berlusconi can run for office again, five years after a tax fraud conviction, reports AP. The Milan daily Corriere della Sera on Saturday reported that the tribunal had decided favorably a day earlier on a request from lawyers for the 81-year-old former premier. Berlusconi’s 2013 conviction, stemming from dealings in the media mogul’s business empire, left him ineligible for several years to run for or hold public office and forced him to surrender his Senate seat. The Italian news agency ANSA quoted Milan Chief Prosecutor Roberto Alfonso as saying prosecutors will decide whether to appeal the tribunal’s decision. Berlusconi had the option of serving out his prison sentence by doing public service, and he did so, helping residents at a facility for Alzheimer’s patients.

Demands for change as Iraqis vote in national polls HILLA (IRAQ), MAY 12 (AGENCIES): Iraqis voting across the country in parliamentary polls Saturday insisted they were hoping for change, even as the same old names continued to dominate the ballot papers, reports AFP. Just over 15 years after the US-led invasion upended Iraqi politics there is widespread fatigue with an entrenched elite viewed as mired in graft and sectarianism. “For the past three parliamentary terms, the corrupt have been playing out the same comedy to keep their grip on the country,” said Ahlam Hamza, a teacher in the town of Hilla, some 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of Baghdad. “Now it is a national duty to get rid of them.” Retiree Taher Mahmoud was casting his ballot in the southern city of Basra, the heart of Iraq’s key oil producing region. But taking into account the pitted roads and the dilapidated infrastructure that plagues the area, the 56-year-old was clear about his aims.
An Iraqi voter has her biometric voting card checked with her fingerprint upon arriving at a poll station in Iraq’s northern city of Kirkuk on May 12, 2018.
“We don’t want to let the corrupt come back to power because they don’t work for the general good, but for their own interests,” Mahmoud told AFP. “People have to wake up and vote for better candidates.” The nationwide poll on Saturday comes at a time of cautious hope for Iraq, five months after the country declared victory over the Islamic State group. Ahead of the vote, top Shiite cleric Ayatollah Ali Sistani weighed in and called for Iraqis not to re-elect those who had
proved to be “corrupt and failing”. But there remains plenty of scepticism that the elections will bring a radical overhaul, with only a minority of the candidates being fresh faces. “The corrupt sharks continue to suffocate us, sitting at the top of their party lists,” said voter Ahmed Nasser, 65, in Hilla. “But we want change because they have brought us nothing but graft and chaos.” First-time election hopefuls are often buried low down on their party
lists, meaning that they have little chance of getting elected. But in the multi-ethnic city of Kirkuk to the north, Abdallah al-Obeidi said as he exited the polling station that he had managed to “choose a new candidate”. “I did it because I am tired of all these old faces,” said the 55-year-old voter. In the western province of Anbar, a Sunni region that was the last in Iraq to be recaptured from IS, unemployed Omar alDoulaimi demanded more from those representing him. “We want someone who will be honest with us and not someone who will just increase his own personal wealth,” the 27year-old said. Those sentiments were echoed back in the capital Baghdad, where housewife Umm Zineb said she didn’t care who was in charge -- as long as they are trustworthy. “Whether they are communists, religious or secular the most important thing is that they should care about the country and the people,” she said.

KUALA LUMPUR, MAY 12 (AFP): Malaysia’s former leader Najib Razak was hit with a travel ban today as speculation mounted he was about to flee the country following his shock election loss, in a possible bid to avoid prosecution over a multi-billion-dollar scandal. An angry crowd had gathered at a Kuala Lumpur airport, shouting at vehicles and seeking to stop them entering, after a purported flight itinerary leaked online showed Najib and his unpopular wife were planning to head to Indonesia. Later Saturday, Najib -- who has been under growing pressure from inside his Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition since this week’s landslide loss -- announced he was quitting as head of BN as well as its main party. The coalition’s defeat in the election at the hands of an alliance led by his one-time mentor Mahathir Mohamad amounted to a political earthquake, which toppled an increasingly authoritarian regime that had ruled the country for six decades.

YANGON, MAY 12 (AGENCIES): At least 19 people have been killed in clashes between Myanmar’s military and an ethnic armed group Saturday in Northern Shan State, Myanmar army and local sources said, the most deadly flare-up in recent years as fighting in the borderlands intensifies. Rights defenders say clashes in northern Myanmar near the China border have ramped up since January as the international community focuses on the Rohingya crisis in the west of the country. The military stands accused of carrying out an ethnic cleansing campaign against the stateless minority in Rakhine. Saturday’s violence was between the military and the Ta’ang National Liberation Army, or TNLA, one of several insurgent groups fight-
ing for more autonomy in the north. “Nineteen [people] were killed in fighting,” the Myanmar military source said, adding that two dozen had been injured. Thaung Tun, a local NGO leader who helped carry the injured to the hospital, said the dead included one police officer, one rebel fighter, four members of a state-backed militia, and two women civilians. Pictures of burned out vehicles and armed men running for cover spread quickly on social media. TNLA spokesman Major Mai Aik Kyaw told AFP that the group attacked joint military and militia posts in the Shan state town of Muse and on a road to Lashio. “We fight because of thorough fighting in our region and the serious
offensive in Kachin State,” he said, referring to fresh confrontations in Myanmar’s northernmost state between the army and the TNLA-aligned Kachin Independence Army. Upwards of 90,000 people reside in IDP camps in Kachin and Shan states since a ceasefire between the powerful Kachin Independence Army and the military broke down in 2011. Those fleeing violence have sheltered in tents and even churches in Kachin, which is mainly Christian, as rights groups accuse the military of blocking aid. Myanmar’s patchwork of ethnic groups make up round a third of the population, but the Bamar or Burmese have filled the Buddhist-majority country’s power structures since independence in 1948.

T he Spice Girls to release tell-all Pearls, plants, shayari: Thoughtful gifts for Mother’s Day documentary inspired by Liam Gallagher M T ove over mundane gifts. Put some t h o u g h t i n t o, and give a personal touch to, the gifts with which you intent to pamper your mother and put a smile on her face on Mother’s Day on Sunday -- ranging from poetry, a relaxing tea break and soothing plants. Sagar K. Datta, author of “Sanaz: Shayari for a Sufi Soul”, says in the era of rock music and Bollywood, you may be missing the time when letters and shayari (poetry) were everything. “The silence of the book and rhythm of the poetry with her morning coffee will definitely light up her mood,” Datta told IANS. While she is reading, she can be pampered with a pair of spa socks. “For the women who walk and run in heels effortlessly, the spa socks are the perfect present as they help relieve the pain that follows wearing high heels,” suggests Aman Hans, CoFounder, Bigsmall.in . The socks contain an
all natural “gel” section to mitigate pain and discomfort. The gel comprises lavender oil, olive oil, grape seed oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E to rejuvenate and pamper the tired feet. For those who want to say “thank you” with comfortable clothes, Sanchari Roy and Arnab Samanta, Co-Founders at The Meraki Story, have come up with airy attires in khadi, which can help your mother beat the heat in the scorching summer. Add to the fun by taking her out on a date to an eating joint or cafe she has been longing to try out. When it comes to apparel, gifting relaxing nightwear would be a good idea
too, suggests Soumya Kant, Vice President at Clovia. “Gift her a perfect mix of comfort and style for everyday wear in the form of chic pyjama night suits,” Kant said, adding that investing in good lingerie like modal briefs and high waisted boy shorts may make her feel pampered. “If you want to really indulge her, buy her fancy silk or satin nighties with matching robes which she otherwise will never buy for herself,” said Kant. For the nature-loving mothers, go for the Blue Moon Plant, the aloe vera plant for skincare-conscious mothers or a succulent plant which retains water in arid climates or

soil conditions. Shabnam Singh, Founder at Project Co, said: “Plants are longlasting expressions of appreciation. Make it a day to remember when you send your mother live green plants.” For the on-the-go mothers with hectic work schedules, how about investing in a smart stainless steel mug that never rusts, for her daily dose of caffeine or a shake? If your mom likes to be in the kitchen, a smart nutri-blend could be ideal too as it will ease her life, says Ravi Saxena, Managing Director, Wonderchef. Mother-daughter duo Sangeeta and Shubhika Jain, co-founders of RAS Luxury Oil and Rajni Ohri, Founder at Ohria, suggest that a gift to enhance a mother’s skin, hair and body as she soaks in the natural aromas of essential oils, could prove to be a blessing for the selfless souls. Another way of calming your mother’s mood
could be a set of tea variants. Razi Khan, Director, Sales and Marketing and Tea Forager, Typhoo India, has suggested tea for different timings of the day. For the night time, Khan suggests a relaxing and restorative caffeinefree herbal infusion that balances the delicious floral taste of chamomile and rose with spearmint and lemongrass. Mellow and smooth, these herbs are known to have digestive properties and promote restful sleep. For slimming, Khan says that a “caffeine-free herbal blend of fennel, liquorice, lemongrass, senna and psyllium husk works well for slimming. These herbs are known to assist natural weight loss and digestion.” For a basic but evergreen gift, go for the good old pearls. Garima Singh, founder of BlingVine, believes jeweller y using pearls would make for a beautiful gift. (IANS)
he Spice Girls have taken inspiration from Liam Gallagher and are set to release a tell-all documentary, it has been reported. According to The Sun, the ’90s group are prepping a new film that could premiere in 2019. Sources say that the band have been inspired by the buzz surrounding Liam Gallagher’s documentary, As It Was, at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The Spice Girls are now looking to work on something ‘cooler and edgier’ for their upcoming return – and have been watching LG’s new film project closely while discussing plans. As It Was details Gallagher’s journey from being Oasis’ frontman to his success as a solo artist. The documentary was directed by Charlie Lightning. Meanwhile, Spice Girls already have another film project in the works as part of their reunion. According to reports, they’ve
signed on for an animated superhero movie. Each member of the band will voice a different hero with “a ‘girl power’ unique to that group member”. The group previously hit the big screen in 1997 with the release of Spice World. Earlier this week, Mel B said that all five members will reunite for a live tour – despite Victoria Beckham previously ruling it out. “We are in the works of figuring the stuff out,”
Mel B said. “I don’t want to say too much, but all five of us have signed with Simon Fuller. It’s all very exciting.” Pressed specific details of the reunion, the singer replied: “It’s going to be a bit of everything. If it was up to me, we’d go on tour immediately, but you know… maybe we will soon.” In the meantime, it’s been rumoured that the band could perform at the Royal Wedding. (NME)

othing to see here, Anna Faris insists there is no drama between her and Chris Pratt after their separation. The Overboard actress, 41, addressed her ex’s “divorce sucks” comments in an interview with Marie Claire, published on Friday, May 11. “It feels like it’s more dramatic than it is,” Faris told the magazine. “Chris and I have a great friendship and [son] Jack is so happy and so loved.” The couple were married for eight years before announcing their separation in August 2017. They both filed for divorce in December of last year. Pratt opened up about his split from Faris in an April interview with Entertainment Weekly. “Divorce sucks,” the 38-year-old Jurassic World star said at the time. “But at the end of the day, we’ve got a great kid who’s
got two parents who love him very much. And we’re finding a way to navigate this while still remaining friends and still being kind to one another.” Faris reacted one day after Pratt’s remarks made headlines. “We have a great relationship, we really do and we always have,” she said during an interview with SiriusXM Hits 1 radio. “It’s always tough to envision your futures as one thing but I think there’s a lot of love.” (USMagazine)

ndian actress Priyanka Chopra’s “Quantico” will not be getting a fourth season. The network ABC has opted to cancel the terrorism drama. Its season 3 finale will now serve as the series ender, reports deadline.com. “Quantico”, from ABC Studios and producer Mark Gordon, was a breakout when it debuted in 2015, setting delayed viewing lift records. But with its dense narrative and heavy serialisation, the series started to lose momentum in the second half of its first season and continued to see declines through season 2 and into season 3. It came down-to-thewire last May for the drama series when it scored a lastminute abbreviated season 3 renewal with a reduced license fee and new creative under a new showrunner. Created by Joshua Safran, the show starred Priyanka as Alex Parrish -- an FBI recruit who joins the agency after graduating from the FBI Academy and becomes a prime suspect of a terrorist attack on Grand Central Terminal. Season three saw Alex going back to navigating the dangerous waters of the CIA that she left behind when she retired to Italy. The Indian actress got global acclaim after the show and also won two

Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo were fifth and sixth, respectively. “Very close qualifying. It took everything to get this result,” Hamilton said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do tomorrow, but it’s a good start.” Hamilton hadn’t taken pole since the seasonopener in Australia. “Not entirely happy, but we expected Mercedes to be very strong,” Vettel said. “Tomorrow (Sunday) it should be an interesting race.” A good starting posi-
tion is crucial in Spain as there are not many overtaking opportunities. Hamilton will be trying to win his second race in a row and add to his fourpoint lead over Vettel in the drivers’ standings. Vettel won in Australia and Bahrain, while Ricciardo was first in China and Hamilton triumphed in Azerbaijan. Mercedes had been fastest in all three practice sessions this weekend, with Hamilton and Bottas leading the timesheets.

IPL 2018: KKR beat KXIP by 31 runs
INDORE, MAY 12 (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders produced a superlative batting performance as they comfortably beat Kings XI Punjab by 31 runs to stay in contention for a play-off berth in the Indian Premier League, here today. On a batting belter, KKR posted a mammoth 245 for 6, their highest ever total and fourth-highest in the history of the league. Sunil Narine, who has been stunning as an opener, once again left everyone spellbound with a 36-ball75 while skipper Dinesh Karthik played an equally significant role with his 23-ball-50. The chase was always out of question and KL Rahul tried his bit with a 28-ball-66, which wasn’t enough as KXIP could only manage 214 for 8 in 20 overs. After losing by 102 runs against Mumbai Indians, the victory not only enabled KKR reach 12 points from as many games but also helped them improve upon their net run-rate. KXIP on the other hand will be worried after their back-to-back defeats in Jaipur and now in Indore. Narine was once again their match-winner for his stellar knock and also getting the important wicket of the dangerous Rahul, who has now completed 500 runs in this IPL. Skipper Ravichandran Ashwin’s decision to

bowl first on a placid track turned out t be a debatable one. Narine and Chris Lynn (27 off 17 balls) added 53 in 5.2 overs before the Queenslander was dismissed. However the next partnership between Narine and Robin Uthappa (24 off 17 balls) yielded 75 runs in 6.1 overs. Narine hit nine boundaries and four sixes in his knock. He started off with a six over long-on off opposition skipper Ashwin, followed with a boundary
through mid-wicket. The next over saw Narine hit back to back boundaries off left-arm pacer Barinder Sran (1/48 in 3 overs) -- a hook and one over mid-on. Another straight six off left-arm spinner Axar Patel (0/52 in 4 overs) and a flurry of boundaries got him to his 50 off 26 balls. Sran got a harsh treatment in the 11th over when Narine hit him for two sixes and a boundary. The 12th over of the innings was the best one for
KXIP as their best bowler Andrew Tye (2/41 in 4 overs) got rid of both Narine and Uthappa. KKR were 130 for 3 at that stage but skipper Karthik in company of Andre Russell (31 off 14 balls) took the KXIP attack to the cleaners. Karthik hit five boundaries and three sixes while Russell had three maximums apart from a couple of fours. They added 76 runs in 5.1 overs to take the total past 200-run mark. The likes of Shubman Gill (16 off 8 balls), Nitish Rana (11 off 4 balls) then hit some lusty blows to take the team closer to 250-run mark. KXIP started in earnest with Rahul hitting Narine for two sixes in the very first over. Rahul hit sixes at will -- seven of them in all but scoreboard pressure meant that wickets fell at regular intervals at the other end. Chris Gayle (21 off 17 balls) couldn’t play an impactful innings being dismissed by Russell. Mayank Agarwal’s technique against genuine quick bowling has always been susceptible and a short delivery from Russell (3/41 in 4 overs) Once Rahul was bowled by Narine in a freakish manner, the match as a contest was over although Aaron Finch (34 off 20 balls), Axar Patel (19) and skipper Ashwin (45) did contribute a few runs.

Madrid Open: Thiem storms into final with easy win over Anderson M A D R I D, M AY 1 2 (AGENCIES):Austrian Dominic Thiem beat Kevin Anderson for the first time at the seventh attempt to reach the Madrid Open final for the second successive year on Saturday. The fifth seed won 6-4 6-2 as he continued the scintillating form that ended top seed Rafa Nadal’s year-long unbeaten run on clay the day before. South African Anderson, seeded sixth, was playing in his first Masters 1000 semi-final but faded after a solid start. Dominic Thiem followed up his sensational victory over world number one Rafael Nadal by easing past Kevin Anderson 6-4, 6-2 on Saturday to reach the Madrid Masters final. The fifth-seeded Austrian, who ended Nadal’s 21-match and 50-set winning streak on clay Friday, needed just 85 minutes to dispose of his South African opponent, seeded sixth. Thiem, the runner-up

to Nadal in the 2017 Madrid final and still chasing a maiden Masters title, will face either German second seed Alexander Zverev or Denis Shapovalov of Canada in Sunday’s championship match. Thiem is playing in just his third tournament since a right ankle fracture suffered at Indian Wells while US Open runner-up Anderson was competing in his first semi-final at Masters level, ending a run of 10 prior losses in quarter-finals
at this level. The 24-year-old Austrian broke Anderson in a nine-minute opening game which was enough to secure the first set in 49 minutes. A double fault gave Thiem the decisive break to open the second set and he broke again for a 4-1 lead before securing victory with a service winner as he reached his 15th career final and fifth in a row on clay. Later Saturday, Zverev will be playing in his third straight Masters semi-final.

Canada’s Shapovalov became the youngest player to reach the Madrid semifinals with a fiesty threeset win over Britain’s Kyle Edmund. The 19-year-old Shapovalov, who lost to Zverev in the Montreal Masters semi-finals last year, is assured of breaking the world top 30 as a result of his efforts in Madrid. Before this week, he had never won a main tour clay-court match.

Barca look for unbeaten season M A D R I D, M AY 1 2 (IANS): FC Barcelona have to avoid defeat in just two more games in order to become the first Spanish side in history to go an entire season in the La Liga without tasting defeat. Ernesto Valverde takes the league champions down the east coast to Valencia on Sunday where they will face an in-form Levante in the Ciudad de Valencia stadium in a game which could be more complicated than many Barca fans may think, reports Xinhua news agency. Levante were fourth from bottom of the table when Paco Lopez replaced Juan Muniz as coach, but the former B-team coach has worked a minor miracle, winning 7 of the 9 games he has been in charge to steer the team to safety. Lopez has given confidence to the club’s more attacking players with Jose Luis Morales in outstanding form and midfielder Enis Bardhi a real danger from set pieces. Barcelona travel after beating Villarreal 5-1 in midweek in a game where they once again showed their threat in attack and where Ousmane Dembele finally began to show by the club which paid so much money to sign him last summer. Dembele scored Barca’s last two goals on the night and could keep his place in the starting 11, even though Luis Suarez will return after kicking off Wednesday on the subs’ bench.
