velopment goals of NDA government under the “visionary leadership” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The house also appreciated the generous contributions of State government bodies and individuals for relief and rehabilitation and towards the CM’s Relief Fund.

Onus on scribes to counter fake news, says Aussie editor

Spl. Correspondent

GUWAHATI, OCT 12 (NPN): Alternate media in India is growing, but newspapers in the country still have a future. “After all, more than half the population in India lack Internet access, which means the daily newspaper continues to be a source of news that can be shared between users,” said Alan Gray, Editor-cum-proprietor of the highly-followed news portal Newsblaze. Interacting through video-conferencing from Jerrabomberra in Australia with scribes in the city on Friday as part of “Meet the Press” programme by Guwahati Press Club, Gray said in all media forms, the basics remain the same. The aspiring journalist must do proper groundwork and write a good story whatever be the format, he said. He said journalists in Australia strive to maintain high professional standards and enjoy a fair degree of job security. “The Australian press is quite nationalistic, but it is issue-based and scribes do not shrink from constructive criticism,” Gray said. He

pointed out that various media forms in Australia, including the press, radio, television and alternative media, all coexist in their own space in a dynamic landscape. While he is yet to come across any journalist of Indian origin active in Australia, Gray said that Indian issues are given due coverage by Australian media. “We do receive a good amount of write-ups from Indian contributors, though the quality is sometimes uneven. A considerable number of unskilled and inexperienced people are entering this field. Some media house managements seem to prefer raw recruits rather than experience journalists to cut down on expenses, which explains the poor quality work often seen floating around,” he said. As for alternate media, the ubiquity of smartphones is making it grow by leaps and bounds. Agreeing that fake news is emerging as a major threat to both alternate as well as mainstream media, Gray said that this puts a greater responsibility on journalists worth their salt.

#MeToo: WCD Ministry to set up legal committee NEW DELHI, OCT 12 (IANS): Women and Child Development Ministr y (WCD) Friday said that a legal committee would be set up in the wake of #MeToo campaign, where multiple sexual harassment cases from media and entertainment industry have come to light. “The Ministry will be setting up a committee of senior judicial and legal persons as members to examine all issues emanating from #MeToo India movement,” it said in a statement. The panel will look into legal and institutional framework which is in place for handling complaints of sexual harassment at work and will advise the Ministry on how to strengthen this framework. “I believe in the pain and trauma behind every single complaint. Cases of sexual harassment at work must be dealt with a policy of zero tolerance,” said WCD Minister Maneka Gandhi. According to a WCD official, the committee will go into the legal and institutional framework and not based on individual complaints.

Cong has no right to teach Nagas: BJP ‘Nani Teri Morni’ issue: NPF slams PDA govt Dimapur hardware traders resent hike in entry tax

DIMAPUR, OCT 12 (NPN): Hitting back at the Congress’ recent remarks against the BJP-led government at the Centre, the BJP Nagaland unit Friday said that Congress had no right to teach Naga people by spreading negativity. BJP Nagaland through its chief spokesperson, Kuputo Shohe, said Congress was only projecting itself as “a self righteous paper tiger.” “We don’t need the teaching of division within society from the Congress party because we are already engaged in the movement of unity, harmony, and progress”, Shohe said. He claimed that the Naga people have today been given hope by BJP to choose the actual way of development and peace. “The road for Naga solution has been made possible by BJP and the solution can be brought only by BJP,” chief spokesperson claimed.

Stating that BJP takes pride in having Nagaland state as part of India, Shohe said “We have declared before the world that we have a state named ‘Nagaland’ where the humility of the people, their rich heritage, vibrant culture and traditions glorify India’s Pride.” He said BJP proudly declares Nagaland as “a gift to this beautiful Nation.” BJP state unit’s chief spokesperson also said that the Central government was keen to achieve permanent peace with honour and dignity for the people of Nagaland. He reminded that Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the first prime minister to recognize the “unique history of the Nagas.” Shohe maintained that BJP was only the platform that has paved way and given “aspiration and hope to our Naga motherland to pursue a prosperous future.”

DIMAPUR, OCT 12 (NPN): NPF has criticized the PDA government of treating disrespectfully and giving a cold shoulder to cast and crew of the movie “Nani Teri Morni”, a movie released recently based on the truelife events of Mhonbeni Ezung, a recipient of the national bravery award. Terming it as an “appalling” behaviour, NPF also asked the PDA government what right it had to take ownership of the event when the film’s cast/ crew did not receive any sort of assistance from it. According to the NPF, the boycott by the cast and crew at the time of the film’s screening spoke volumes of the discontentment. Yet, the PDA government gave the slightest attention to what the team, which put its heart and soul into the project, de-

sired as the government’s primary target was only on optics and applause, it alleged. Referring to the escape of a man arrested for raping his own daughter at Meluri town from police custody on October 10, NPF said the state of affairs under PDA government was pathetic as it was least bothered about shortcomings on its part, while losing no time to snatch the credit of others. NPF further asked the PDA government to send out a clear message to all officials to perform their assigned duties and not overstep jurisdiction of others. Citing the nature and choice of words used against prominent personality and line producer of “Nani Teri Morni” Rebecca Changkija by a certain officer who works directly under the supervision of Neiphiu Rio as commis-

sioner and secretary, NPF said it found the attitude of the officer absolutely demeaning. And in a bid to steer away from the controversy, the officer blamed it on “miscommunication”, which was clichéd, NPF added. It wondered whether the officer was acting on his own volition or was instructed by CM. Regardless on whose direction it was, NPF said demoralisation of the people who had worked so tirelessly towards the success of the movie was irreparable. An event which could have brought laurels to the State had been turned into an event filled with remorse and pain, it added. NPF asked the government to realize its responsibility and govern the State as was tasked, and not dictate terms and turn Nagaland into an autocratic State.

DIMAPUR, OCT 12 (NPN): Hardware Merchants’ Association of Dimapur district has urged municipal affairs department to immediately control the surge in collection of entry tax on vehicles witnessed since introduction of lease system of toll collection. The association also warned of taking its own course of action in the event of failure to withdraw the hike that would ultimately affect the public In a press release issued by its president K Denis, the association pointed out that earlier, entry tax per vehicle for mild steel (MS) rod was Rs 350 for a six-wheeled vehicle and Rs 450 for a 12-wheeled vehicle. However, since the toll tax was leased out, the toll tax was collected at the rate of Rs 50 per metric tonne (MT),

instead of per-vehicle basis since October 1. Thus, with the introduction of lease system by Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC), the entry tax jumped to Rs 3,500 per vehicle for a 12-wheeler vehicle (70 MT). This, according to the association, was taking a huge toll on transporters and eventually affecting customers. The traders said the burden eventually fell on customers, who had to bear the brunt for no fault of theirs but due to a flawed policy decision made by the municipal affairs department in leasing out toll collection. Moreover, DMC was not a sales tax/ GST department to collect tax on commodities and could only collect entry tax per vehicle, not commoditywise, they added. (Cont’d on p-7)

Jacob commissioning the augmentation of water supply to Wokha.

The minister said that government acts as felicitator where schemes and development are implemented for the public. In this regard, he urged the people to use the newly commissioned water supply with a sense of ownership. Jacob also called for protection of the catchment area by planting more trees for sustainability of the project. Commissioner & Sec-

retary PHED, Dr. Maongwati Aier, who chaired the programme, also congratulated both the department and Wokha village for making the project a reality for the benefit of the dwellers of Wokha town. This project is a single stage pumping where water will be pumped from catchment area to Pressure Break Tank located at WTC compound, Vankhosung and distributed to the town

by gravity system installed at NAP camp and Ganga Post. Through this project, the dwellers of Wokha town would now be getting 6 lakh cubic litters per day during the lean season. At least 600 households covering 20 sectors of Wokha town will be benefited. Delivering a shor t speech, Lotha Hoho secretary, Er. Mhondamo Ovung, urged the citizens of the Wokha town to use the facility with sense of ownership. Thanking the government for choosing the catchment area in Wokha village, the Wokha village council chairman urged that government to honour the MoU signed between the two parties. He assured the department that the council would protect and take the ownership for the safety of the project. Later in the day, the minister also visited the EE (PHED) office and had interaction with the officers and staff.

DIMAPUR, OCT 12 (NPN): Reacting to the concerns expressed by various individuals on its recentlyconducted multi media campaign (MMC), that its impact was not visible and that Nagaland State AIDS Control Society (NSACS) had not carried out any assessment on its impact, NSACS has clarified that MMC was another strategy to reach out to young people with HIV prevention messages through music, sports, etc. NSACS project director Dr Ngangshimeren, in a statement, explained that MMC was a special package provided by National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) since 2009 for the eight North-eastern States keeping in mind that people of the region were music lovers and music influenced lives. Even this year, the campaign was being simultaneously carried out across the North-eastern States and would culminate with a regional-level programme

to be hosted by NSACS in November, as recommended by NACO, he added. Ngangshimeren said the recently-concluded MMC witnessed dissemination of HIV messages through songs, lyrics, quiz competitions, distribution of IEC materials, screening of short videos and texts with prevention and treatment messages, motivational talks and discussions on drug abuse and its effects, etc. He expressed gratefulness to those who had attended and participated in the programme. “We continuously strive through these activities to reach the youth, whether in small or large numbers, with HIV prevention messages and safe behavioural practices,” he added. NSACS project director said an evaluation of MMC “Red Ribbon Superstar Campaign” was done in 2011-12 by Social and Rural Research Institute, a specialised unit of International Media Research Bureau (IMRB), New

Delhi. And the evaluation showed that MMC “triggered discussion” among 60% of the respondents, while 93% was “intent to watch more such campaigns” and 77% was “intent to watch campaigns on the issue” of HIV/AIDS. It was also found that “of all the States covered, HIV testing was reported to be highest among respondents in Nagaland (18%), followed by Mizoram (16%) and Manipur (13%). Significant difference could also be observed in HIV testing among respondents who were exposed to the Red Ribbon campaign and those not exposed, he added. Stating that the comments, suggestions and inputs were well taken, Ngangshimeren remarked that it should be the endeavour of all concerned to explore more “attractive, effective and youth-friendly” intervention programmes and collectively fight the HIV/ AIDS epidemic.

Organisers said Sikkim has helped more than 66,000 farmers and set an example for other countries.

U n i t e d Nat i o n s, Oct 12 (IANS): Sikkim has won the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation’s (FAO) Future Policy Gold Award for its achievement in becoming the world’s first totally organic agriculture state. The 2018 award announcement on Friday said: “Sikkim is the first organic state in the world. All of its farmland is certified organic. At the same time, Sikkim’s approach reaches beyond organic production and has proven truly trans-

formational for the state and its citizens.” Uniquely, the state has totally banned the sale and use of chemical pesticides. “Sikkim sets an excellent example of how other Indian states and countries worldwide can successfully upscale agroecology,” the announcement said. Nicknamed the “Oscar for best policies”, the award is co-organised with the FAO by The World Future Council (WFC) and IFOAM -- Organics International, and recognises “the world’s

best laws and policies promoting agroecology”. Sikkim beat out 51 other nominees from around the world for the award. Brazil, Denmark, Quito and Ecuador shared the Silver award. Prem Das Rai, the Sikkim Democratic Front MP who was here as a member of the Indian delegation to the General Assembly, told IANS: “The people of Sikkim have to be congratulated for staying the course and supporting the organic farming policies to make them a success.”

Mizoram: Lalzirliana tenders resignation, likely to join MNF

Aizawl, Oct 12 (Agencies): The axed Congress vice president who had resigned as Mizoram home minister, R Lalzirliana, on Friday submitted his resignation as a legislator to the Mizoram Legislative Assembly secretary SR Zokhuma. The Tawi AC legislator for four consecutive terms is expected to join the Mizo National Front party, Northeast Now reported. R Lalzirliana was axed by the Mizoram PCC from his primary membership after he submitted resignation from the home minister’s post last month. The former Congress vice president was accused of showing interest in joining the MNF party. The disciplinary action committee of the Congress served him a show cause

notice questioning his loyalty. Instead of replying to the show cause notice which he termed as baseless, R Lalzirliana tendered his resignation from the post of Mizoram home minister and was eventually axed by the party. Former home minister and the politician who was a major initiator of the Mizoram government -Hmar Peoples Convention (D) peace treaty said that he would join the Mizo National Front. “The MNF has a slogan – ‘For God and our country’. The Congress party has the habit of mentioning God but the MNF has been walking with God. I have made a decision that I too, should walk the talk, unlike the party who had sacked me,” R Lalzirliana

said. R Lalzirliana was the most trusted aide of chief minister Lal Thanhawla after he was elected from the then Saitual AC in 1998. He was the only Congress MLA elect who spoke the official language of Mizoram fluently. He was elected again in 2003, 2008 and 2013 during which he rose to prominence in the political hierarchy of the Mizoram PCC. After his resignation he was approached by the Meghalaya based National People’s Party and was rumoured to form the Mizoram chapter of the late PA Sangma’s party. But in an interview with Northeast Now, R Lalzirliana said that at this stage it was difficult to form a new political party in Mizoram. However he has close ties with the Sangma brothers of Meghalaya. MNF has already made it clear that if R Lalzirliana joins their party they will allot him the official MNF party’s Tawi AC candidature. The Mizoram PCC has already set Rosiamngheta, a popular orator of the Congress and former councillor of the Aizawl Municipal Council as the official candidate of Tawi AC.

“Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling framed the policies with great foresight and led from the front to make Sikkim 100 percent organic,” he added. The World Future Council said that Sikkim’s organic farming policies went beyond agriculture and embraced “socioeconomic aspects such as consumption and market expansion, cultural aspects as well as health, education, rural development and sustainable tourism”. “The transition has benefited more than 66,000 farming families,” the Council said. Simultaneously the tourism sector has benefited greatly from the state’s transition to organic farming with the number of visitors increasing by over 50 per cent between 2014 and 2017. Starting with a political commitment to support organic farming in 2003, Sikkim designed in 2010 the Sikkim Organic Mission which was “a road map that clearly detailed all the measures necessary to achieve the target of becoming a fully organic state by 2015”, the FAO said earlier.

‘Cultivation of high value crops relevant in NE’

Guwahati, Oct 12 (PTI): Cultivation of high value crops is relevant in the North Eastern region given the small landholding pattern, a senior official of the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) said Friday. Value of commercial horticulture has emerged as one of the potential agricultural enterprise in accelerating the growth of economy, said assistant general manager of APEDA, Sunita Rai. Speaking at a seminar organised by Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) on ‘Challenges and prospects of high value horticulture crops in north east, she said commercial horticulture can play an important role in poverty alleviation and employment generation programmes. There was a need to develop high value horticulture, policy issues related to water, procurement price, value addition, post harvest processing, nutrient based fertilizer subsidy, product marketability, alternative horticulture and new products, Rai said.

in Assam is indeed very good news. Since it is a rare metal and is expensive, commercial extraction of it would benefit not just the region but also Assam. Our state is rich in minerals and the aim of my department is to explore possibilities of more such findings,” said Assam’s mines and minerals minister Sum Ronghang who hails from Karbi Anglong doistrict. Used in telecommunication pharmaceutical, jewelry and manufacture of high-tech laboratory equipment platinum is expensive because of rarity and growing demand.

Cyclone Titli : 4 dead in Odisha, WB

Kolkata/Bhubaneswar, Oct 12 (PTI): Cyclone Titli weakened into a deep depression and entered West Bengal Friday, triggering incessant rainfall even as it claimed four lives - three in Odisha and one in Bengal. The cyclone and the accompanying heavy rain have wrought damage in Bengalâ€™s Jhargram and Paschim Medinipur districts adjoining Odisha. It left one person dead in Paschim Medinipur district and uprooted trees along state highway number 5, holding up traffic, authorities in the two districts said. Paschim Medinipur and Jhargram are witnessing incessant rain since Thurs-

day night. The MeT department warned of heavy to very heavy rainfall in Gangetic West Bengal till Saturday, ahead of Durga Puja festivities. It said the cyclone has weakened into a deep depression and is moving northeast. Paschim Medinipur district Magistrate P Mohan Gandhi said a 35-year-old security guard was killed when a 12-foot factory wall collapsed on him at Kharagpur following heavy rains on Friday. Ten others were injured in various rain-related incidents. In neighbouring Jhargram district, the storm caused mud houses and Durga Puja pandals to collapse

SC rejects Congressâ€™ plea on electoral rolls

India on alert against possible Lashkar, Jaish attacks from sea

New Delhi, Oct 12 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed Congress leader Kamal Nathâ€™s plea for soft copies of the draft electoral rolls in text mode format for the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections in November to avoid foul play. A bench of Justice A.K. Sikri and Justice Ashok Bhushan rejected the plea even as the petitioner contended that there were over 50 lakh duplicate voters in the voters list. The court also declined a similar plea by Rajasthann Congress Committee chief Sachin Pilot. Holding that it finds force in the Election Commission argument that a clause in its manual talks about draft electoral rolls in text mode, Justice Sikri said in the judgment: â€œThe clause nowhere says that the draft electoral roll has to be put up on the Chief Electoral Officerâ€™s website in a â€˜searchable PDFâ€™.â€? â€œTherefore, the petitioner cannot claim, as a right, that the draft electoral roll should be placed on the website in a â€˜searchable modeâ€™. It has only to be in â€˜text modeâ€™ and it is so provided,â€? the judgment said.

Mumbai was attacked from the sea with the terrorists entering the Indian exclusive economic zone (EEZ) on the Al Hussaini, a trawler registered with the Baluchistan Fisheries Department. The Lashkar gunmen then commandeered Indian boat M V Kuber to bring them off the Mumbai coast, completing the final leg of their journey using inflatable boats. The attack left 164 people dead and 304 injured.

Based on the inputs, the officials said that Indiaâ€™s assessment is that LeT cadres could hijack cargo ships or oil tankers on high seas and then strike at Indian ports or infiltrate suicide attackers through sea and inland water channels. The aquatic training includes down proofing, where the hands and feet of the swimmer are tied so that

NEW DELHI, Oct 12 (Agencies): Supreme Court on Friday said that an order forcing everyone to become a vegetarian cannot be passed in the country, Zee News reported. The top court was listening to a public interest litigation seeking ban the export of meat for consumption and leather. â€œWe cannot pass an order that everyone should become vegetarian,â€? observed a bench Justice Madan B Lokur, further asking, â€œDo you want everybody in this country to be a vegetarian?â€? The matter has now adjourned for February 2019. On Wednesday, members of several Hindu outfits took to the streets on Wednesday, forcing meat shops to shut down during the ongoing nine-day Navratri festival. The protestors threatened to vandalise property and shut down. Locals claimed a group of Sena workers assembled at Palam Vihar on Wednesday and forcibly shut down meat markets in Surat Nagar, Ashok Vihar, Sector 5 and 9, Pataudi Chowk, Jacobpura, Sadar Bazaar, Khandsa Anaj Mandi, Bus Stand, DLF area, Sohna and Sector 14.

Air India plane hits wall on take-off Tiruchirappalli, Oct 12 (PTI): All 136 people on board a Dubaibound Air India Express plane had a miraculous escape when the tyre of the aircraft hit an equipment used to guide a pilot to land a flight and then brushed the compound wall during take-off at Tiruchirappalli International Airport early Friday. The 130 passengers inside the aircraft were shocked and panicked as the aircraft shook and tossed wildly. The pilot tried to lift off further when the tyre brushed the compound wall, airport officials said. In the meanwhile air traffic control officials could not contact the pilot as the signal went off. The officials said the 50-foot compound wall and the barbed fence at the airport were damaged due to the impact. â€œLuckily there was no bus or lorry on the highway adjacent to the airport and thus a major mishap has been averted. The tyre of the aircraft and small portion of the front side of the aircraft got slightly damaged,â€? one of the officials said. The traffic control officials saw the accident via CCTV camera while the passengers inside the plane remained anxious about what exactly had

However, they were persuaded that there was nothing to worry and the flight proceeded, the officials said. Airport officials later informed their counterparts in Dubai about the accident and also told them that there was no major damage to the aircraft and it was safe for it to land there. However, Dubai airport officials refused to allow the plane to land under the presumption that it was risky to allow it as the tyre had been slightly damaged, throwing the passengers on board into another round of anxiety. The passengers were then told that the plane

could land in Mumbai and the permission for it had been obtained. After four hours of flying, the plane landed in Mumbai airport at 5.45 AM. The passengers flew to Dubai by another aircraft. An investigation has been ordered into the accident. It was not known whether technical snag or pilot error was responsible for the accident. The pilots have been â€œderosteredâ€? pending investigation, Air India Express said in a statement. â€œFlight IX-611 took off from Trichy for Dubai around 1.30 am Friday. It was reported by Trichy airport officials that they have observed that the aircraft might have come in contact with the airport perimeter wall,â€? it said.

New Delhi, Oct 12 (Agencies): The Indian Navy and the Coast Guard, defending the countryâ€™s 7,517 kilometer long coastline, have been put on alert against attacks on ports, cargo ships and oil tankers by Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkare-Taiba (LeT), which has been building its sea strike capabilities since June this year, Pakistan watchers and counter-terrorism officials in India said on condition of anonymity, Hindustan Times reported. Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), another Pakistanbased Islamist terror group targeting India, has also started a rigorous training programme that involves swimming and deep diving techniques, according to these officials. LeTâ€™s naval ambitions arenâ€™t new, although they are closer to fruition now than they have ever been. According to the officials, it first came to light during the interrogation of 26/11 accused David Coleman Headley by the National Investigation Agency in 2010 with the jihadist naming a certain Yaqoob as head of the terror groupâ€™s marine wing; he also added that the 10 gunmen involved in the Mumbai terror attack on 26/11 were trained by Jaipur/New Delhi, Pakistan Navy deep sea Oct 12 (PTI): Eighteen more people in Rajasthanâ€™s Jaipur district have tested positive for Zika virus, taking the total number of such cases to 50, a Union Health Ministry official said Friday.

‘North East’ enigma

Post-mortem

On mental health of the young

orth East Students Organisation (NESO) has issued a long list of demands to the union home minister Rajnath Singh to be acted upon( implemented) with the rider that the organisation comprising of apex student organisations of the region, would be compelled to agitate strongly. The NESO in its memorandum listed the demands for– a relevant education policy for the region; repeal of Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act 1958; inviting and holding dialogue with various armed groups to resolve demands of various armed groups in the region and curbing infiltration of illegal immigrants through a comprehensive policy; implementation of National Register of Citizens (NRC) and opposition to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 and long term visa. The other demand included safeguarding the admissions and recruitments of people from the region to various central universities and institutions where they are set up so that the people are not marginalised and discriminated against. The eight states comprising the Northeast is populated by nearly 40 million inhabitants who vary in language, race, tribe, caste, religion, and regional heritage. The region has nearly 200 communities of which not less than one hundred being tribes. One of the pressing issues that have been raised for many decades has been on the issue of immigrants from Bangladesh. Both the issue of illegal immigration or influx as well as NRC require a long term involvement. The government of India has to tackle this issue with a clear headed purpose and ensure that politics does not condemn the people of the region. If the Congress was accused allegedly of vote bank politics supposedly that incorporates illegal Bangladeshi Muslim immigrants; the BJP too has been accused allegedly of doing the same with Illegal Bangladeshi Hindu immigrants also for the same electoral purpose. Removal of ASFPA is being heard only after the late 70s when it was enforced in other north eastern states. Nagaland bore the brunt since 1958 but no one heard or cared about the inhuman sufferings of Nagas of erstwhile Naga Hills and Tuensang Frontier Division. Today, the affected are crying hoarse and rightly so against ASFPA. The political problems as defined over the various armed movements can be blamed on the centre’s policy of viewing these as law and order problem and which has only damaged the peaceful environment and delayed the process of creating a conducive climate towards eventual negotiations. The NRC issue is particularly very crucial to Assam and it would be worthwhile to be more thoughtful in asking that the same be applied on all states. Therefore, both the NRC issue as well as the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 are on severe test in Assam. If the two issues are tackled effectively, then it will also impact the other states. The other demand to ensure and guarantee that people from the north east who have been employed at various central institutes where these have been set up in the region is quite important. It would also be worthwhile to seek proportional representation in jobs for youths of the region in all central government undertakings and not let the entire quota be swallowed by youths from the state where the particular industry of central institute has been established. As commented in this column in the past, it does little credit to the polity if students are compelled to come out and deal with every issue involving governance. Also the very concept of ‘north east’ only contributes to aberration of central policy and which needs to be done away with.

dolescents are undergoing a crucial stage of development with regard to their psychological, social and emotional well being. These developments have a profound effect on their mental health. The suddenness and the rapid pace with which these changes take place generate a number of problems and special needs, which adolescents find difficult to understand on their own. Most of them become intensely concerned about their physical appearance and increasingly self-conscious; and anything that makes them different from others generally upsets them. They need proper care and attention from parents, teachers and their peers. Adolescence is a transitional period in which there are changes in body, thinking process and social life of the adolescents and yet there is a silent cry of the adolescents for ‘independent identity’ to grow as unique individuals. Adolescence is a time of change, exploration, exuberance and youthful searching characterized by a number of cognitive, emotional, physical and social changes. These very ‘changes’ become a real problem for the adolescents and to their parents and in a larger context they become the real adolescence challenges. Adolescence is a time when conflict with parents is especially high. Conflict between parents and adolescents is more likely when they are experiencing depressed mood and also other problems such as substance abuse or dating. The adolescents during early 20’s are the years of highest prevalence of a variety of types of risk behavior. Substance abuse, risky automobile driving, risky sexual behavior and contracting sexually transmitted diseases are some of the examples of risk. Stress and depression are serious problems for adolescents. Stress is characterized by feelings of tension, frustration, worry, sadness and withdrawal that commonly last from a few hours to a few days. Today, adolescents in general, are experiencing many physical, emotional, cultural and social shocks. They live in a polluted environment.

DailyDevotion Getting into God’s Stride

very year the World over celebrates 4th October as World Animal Day, the feast day of Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. This international day is taken as a day of action for animal rights and welfare with a mission to raise their status and thereby improve their welfare standards. On this international day, I quote here some of the Vetero-legal laws pertaining to animal rights and welfare for general awareness. Vetero - legal laws, acts and torts are also judiciary laws and are therefore can be appealed and enforced in a court of law. As regards to animal laws, it involves two agents viz the active agent or the offender, example a

Enoch walked with God… —Genesis 5:24 The true test of a person’s spiritual life and character is not what he does in the extraordinary moments of life, but what he does during the ordinary times when there is nothing tremendous or exciting happening. A person’s worth is revealed in his attitude toward the ordinary things of life when he is not under the spotlight (see John 1:35-37 and John 3:30). It is painful work to get in step with God and to keep pace with Him— it means getting your second wind spiritually. In learning to walk with God, there is always the difficulty of getting into His stride, but once we have done so, the only characteristic that exhibits itself is the very life of God Himself. The individual person is merged into a personal oneness with God, and God’s stride and His power alone are exhibited. It is difficult to get into stride with God, because as soon as we start walking with Him we find that His pace has surpassed us before we have even taken three steps. He has different ways of doing things, and we have to be trained and disciplined in His ways. It was said of Jesus— “He will not fail nor be discouraged…” (Isaiah 42:4) because He never worked from His own individual standpoint, but always worked from the standpoint of His Father. And we must learn to do the same. Spiritual truth is learned through the atmosphere that surrounds us, not through intellectual reasoning. It is God’s Spirit that changes the atmosphere of our way of looking at things, and then things begin to be possible which before were impossible. Getting into God’s stride means nothing less than oneness with Him. It takes a long time to get there, but keep at it. Don’t give up because the pain is intense right now— get on with it, and before long you will find that you have a new vision and a new purpose.

Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that’s very important for good health. ~ Dalai Lama

Nagaland Post, Dimapur SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2018

The traditional culture and its values are being substituted by new dangerous modern cultures such as: drug culture, alcohol culture, mobile culture, face book culture, pornography culture, tobacco culture, internet culture, gun culture, easy money culture, pleasure loving and easy going culture. The very advancement of science and technology is being made use of for adverse purposes. Thus, adolescents are always in constant pressure, stress, tension and depression. It is in this milieu that the parents, teachers, elders and counselors have a great role to play in helping the adolescents to pass through the adolescence stage of “storm and stress” in an unstrained manner and to equip them with sound knowledge and skills to live a happy and meaningful environment life. The greatest challenge of our time will be to create a healthy where adolescents grow gracefully without any fear, with a positive outlook and learn to live an uncompromised life. Adolescence and the early years of adulthood are a time of life when many changes occur, for example changing schools, leaving home, and starting university or a new job. For many, these are exciting times. They can also be times of stress and apprehension however. In some cases, if not recognized and managed, these feelings can lead to mental illness. The expanding use of online technologies, while undoubtedly bringing many benefits, can also bring additional pressures, as connectivity to virtual networks at any time of the day and night grows. Many adolescents are also living in areas affected by humanitarian emergencies such as conflicts, natural disasters and epidemics. Young people living in situations such as these are particularly vulnerable to mental distress and illness. Half of all mental illness begins by the age of 14, but most cases go undetected and untreated. In terms of the burden of the disease among adolescents, depression is the third leading cause. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds. Harmful use of alcohol and illicit drugs among adolescents is a major issue in many countries

and can lead to risky behaviours such as unsafe sex or dangerous driving. Eating disorders are also of concern. Fortunately, there is a growing recognition of the importance of helping young people build mental resilience, from the earliest ages, in order to cope with the challenges of today’s world. Evidence is growing that promoting and protecting adolescent health brings benefits not just to adolescents’ health, both in the short - and the long-term, but also to economies and society, with healthy young adults able to make greater contributions to the workforce, their families and communities and society as a whole. Much can be done to help build mental resilience from an early age to help prevent mental distress and illness among adolescents and young adults, and to manage and recover from mental illness. Prevention begins with being aware of and understanding the early warning signs and symptoms of mental illness. Parents and teachers can help build life skills of children and adolescents to help them cope with everyday challenges at home and at school. Psychosocial support can be provided in schools and other community settings and of course training for health workers to enable them to detect and manage mental health disorders can be put in place, improved or expanded. Conclusion: Investment by governments and the involvement of the social, health and education sectors in comprehensive, integrated, evidence-based programmes for the mental health of young people is essential. This investment should be linked to programmes to raise awareness among adolescents and young adults of ways to look after their mental health and to help peers, parents and teachers know how to support their friends, children and students. “It’s up to you today to start making healthy choice. Not choices that are just healthy for your body, but healthy for your mind.’’ Rev. Fr. C. Joseph, Counsellor-St. Joseph’s College, Jakhama

India needs a world-class higher educational system

ndia has the third-largest higher educational system in the world. In 2016, there were 799 universities and 39,071 colleges spread across the country. These numbers are staggering. The growth of higher education in India over a little more than half a century has been even more staggering. Between 1950 and 2014, the number of universities in India increased by 34 times. And, between 1950 and 2013, colleges increased by 74 times. This quantitative explosion in higher education institutions has not been matched by the quality of the education they provide. In fact, the gap between quantity and quality is so large that it stands as one of the major obstacles in the way of India being a world leader. To become such a leader, India needs to develop a world class higher education system. Two years ago, the Narendra Modi administration attempted to put some focus on quality in higher education with its introduction of draft regulations for a new initiative called the “UGC (Declaration of Government Educational Institutions as World Class Institutions) Guidelines, 2016.” By 2018, when the first six institutions were named under this initiative, they were designated as “Institutions of Eminence” as opposed to “world class institutions”. Although the label has been changed, the intent remains the same. That is to give considerable discretion to and elevate the status of these institutions. This is not necessarily a bad thing. But, it will do little to address the underlying problems of higher education in India. This is true because the focus is completely wrong. These universities are the tip of the higher educational iceberg. Enhancing the capacity of a few institutions, thus possibly enabling them to be rated a little higher in the world rankings of higher education institutions, does nothing for the many. That’s not to say that India does not need world class institutions of higher education. It is to say that more, importantly India, needs a world class higher education system. A world class higher education system is one that is student- or customer-centred rather than institution-centred. It comprises certified and caring institutions that have the resources required and the core mission of ensuring that students/customers acquire the knowledge/skills/abilities and dispositions that they need to achieve their individual goals and to maximise their contribution to society. India’s current system has been almost exactly the opposite of that. The emphasis has been primarily on a select group of institutions and individuals rather than embracing and addressing the needs of

the whole. There are many steps that must be taken to change this and to make the Indian higher education system world class. They include: - Increase public financing. The federal and state governments currently provide limited funding for higher education. As a result, over 70 percent of the higher education institutions are operated by the private sector. These institutions are not well regulated and are of highly variable quality. Public sector financing could be used to support existing public institutions and to establish new ones in regions in which there are limited higher educational opportunities. - Enhance the infrastructure. Colleges and universities throughout India have inadequate physical settings, lack equipment, and suffer from a shortage of competent teachers. Ensuring that each higher educational institution is infrastructurally sound, establishes the proper environment for learning and growth. - Expand access to and participation in higher education. The enrollment in higher education is approximately 15 per cent of the eligible population. This percentage needs to be much higher for India to be considered and to become a developed or developing country. It also needs to be representative of the entire population, including females, those from the weaker sectors, and rural areas. - Enforce standards and requirements appropriately. The announced replacement of the University Grants Commission (UGC) with the Higher Education Commission of India (HECI) created considerable debate within and outside of the educational community. The essential question regardless of whether there is an UGC, HECI or some other agency with an acronym. must be: Is the proper data being collected and used to monitor performance and ensure accountability for each institution in the higher education system? - Place an emphasis on vocational education. The higher education system must meet the needs of potential employers and prospective employees. Currently, there is a mismatch. The higher educational system must equip itself to be the provider of first resort and give the country the skilled workforce it requires. There are many other steps that must be taken, such as addressing politicians controlling many educational institutions, to make India’s higher education system world class. But there must be only one mindset. That mindset must be that the country’s higher education system must be restructured, redesigned, and renewed in a way that benefits all of India and all Indians.

Cruelty to animals’ vis-à-vis veterinary jurisprudence man and the passive agent or the offended, example a dog, cow or any animal. Animal laws therefore, directly relates to man as man is the main offender though there are acts that implicates only the animal as in cattle trespass act 1871. The common offences committed against animals are mischief , cruelty, bestiality, killing, drowning , electrocuting, poisoning and maiming which means making an animal useless by violence such as fracturing of bones, cutting of tendons , tails, legs, neck, injuring the udder, tearing of vagina and rectum, inflicting wounds etc. All these come under mischief offences and are punishable under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section

n a church retreat in Malaysia, as they sang and prayed to Allah with Pentecostal fervor I stood there thinking how some people would easily see it as Islamic. As for me, I have heard of a time there when there was a clamor to forbid Christians and Sikhs from using term ‘Allah’ because Muslims considered it to be the exclusive deity name of their religion. Recently, there emerged a controversy, alleging Brain Houston, the founder of Hillsong Church, who was quoted to have said that in the Old Testament times Muslims worshipped the same God as we Christians do today; it was branded Chrislam. The objection to the use of Allah is understandable as it is mostly seen as a Muslim thing. But it is also true that the same term does not solely denote the Muslim god. Even in Islamic belief Allah sim-

Bestiality, which is the carnal intercourse against the order of nature, is punishable under IPC section 377. Under frauds in the sale of livestock and livestock products, the common ones are as follows; Altering the descriptions of animals by coloring, clipping the mane, docking, castration to attract good price and bishoping where by a hole is made on the table of the incisors to look younger are done. All these

Let God be God

ply means God and is not a nomenclature for a deity specific to a religion. Of course, Muslims say that the God of Abraham is Allah. So in generic terms both Muslims and Jews worship God, just as in any other religious beliefs. Simply put, we cannot deny that religion is about God. In every society and culture the concept of God exists; even atheists and agnostics will not have any substance in their arguments in the absence of the idea of a god. In Arabic language the word ‘Allah’ is the equivalent of the English term ‘God.’ The Hebrew ‘El’ and the Aramaic ‘Elah’ are equivalents of the Arabic “Allah’. No wonder Arab Christians worship Allah as well. It is a generic word for God which can be used for any god. This is something tribal people like us can easily understand as we have dialects that differ

frauds are punishable under IPC sec 420. In the fraud for sale of livestock products, milk is adulterated with water and skimming where fat is removed and vegetable or hydrogenated oil and animal fat are added in ghee. Falsifications whereby meats of different animals are mixed to attract better price are all punishable under IPC sec 272. Under Livestock importation act IX of 1891, importation by land or sea of livestock which may liable to be affected by contagious or infectious diseases can be restricted or prohibited by the state government. A breach of this act is punishable with a fine of up to Rs.1000. Whoever does with any

from village to village. So ‘Allah’ is simply ‘God’ as in any other language or dialect. We can understand this better from the case of the Angami Bible which was originally first brought out by American missionaries. Though the Nagas believe in the existence of many spirits they only worship a supreme spirit which they call God Almighty. In Angami the root term for god is ‘terhruo’. But the missionaries took the term to mean the name of a specific god and rejected its use in their translation. In its place Jihova which is the transliteration of Yaweh was used. Later, the Angami Baptists coined their own term for God in feminine gender as Ukepenuopfü, which literally translated is ‘our birth mother’. One Naga from an Eastern Naga village told me they too translated their

poisonous substance that may cause harm and injury so as to endanger human life and animals will be booked under IPC sec 284 which may attract imprisonment up to 6 months or a fine of Rs.1000 or both. Whoever unlawfully or negligently does any act that may spread infection of any diseases dangerous to life is punishable under IPC sec 269 that may amount to a fine of Rs.1000 or imprisonment for 6 months or both. As is enshrined in directive principles part IV article 48 of the constitution, animal welfare fortnight is observed by government of India from 14th to 30th January every year to create awareness regarding affection towards animals and

Bible in the same vein under the influence of Angami missionaries, but later found it to be wrong and went back to the original term for God in their dialect. Some religions have specific names for their deities, but they all come under the generic category of the term ‘God.’ When it comes to language, we have to let God be God and no religion can claim exclusive ownership of the term in any language. This is why I had no problem with the Malaysian Christians worshiping Allah just as I would if they were to sing in English and use God instead. But as for the Angamis, in their next translation of the Bible, they should seriously consider going the way of their Eastern counterpart. Asielie Pusa, lead pastor, Spirit Word Church, Kohima

Functions of which is to encourage kindness and provide treatment to sick and suffering animals and to prosecute person found guilty for the acts of cruelty. For which animal grievances redressal forum and tribunals can be set up in every district. Because unseen they suffer, unheard they cry, in agony they linger, in silence they die.

New Delhi, Oct 12 (PTI): Industrial production growth slipped to a threemonth low of 4.3 per cent in August mainly due to a sharp decline in the mining sector output and poor offtake of capital goods, according to the Central Statistics Office (CSO) data. The industrial production measured in terms of Index of Industrial Production (IIP) was 4.8 per cent in August last year, the CSO data released Friday showed.

Subhash Chandra Garg Partnership for Financial Inclusion (GPFI) process, the statement said. He highlighted the importance of developing global standards and protocols for attracting private funds to the infrastructure space and hoped that the infrastructure agenda of G-20 can contribute in this direction. Garg said India has taken several steps to attract private players in infra financing space such as creating Real Estate Investment Trust Fund, Infrastructure Debt Fund as well as undertaking efforts for monetising brownfield assets. On ties with Africa, Garg highlighted the $10 billion soft loan facility announced for the continent by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He further said the investment facilitating schemes such as National

Export Insurance Fund, Concessional Financing Facility etc, are in place to encourage private players to invest in Africa and elsewhere. With regard to BRICS Forum meeting, the statement said the meeting focused on reviewing the progress as well as deliberating on the way forward under the upcoming 2019 BRICS Chairmanship of Brazil. The main issues that came up for discussion were the membership expansion of New Development Bank (NDB), the staggering of schedule of payment of paid-in capital of NDB, the work of BRICS PPP Task Force and examining the possibility of developing a consensus on BRICS Rating Agency, it said. He also emphasised that the role of BRICS is to provide broad guidance to NDB and the decisions on managing the micro details should be left to NDB Board of Directors and Board of Governors. On the BRICS Rating Agency, Garg hinted that the Report of the Expert Group proposed setting up of such agency which is completely independent and is led by private sector.

NEW DELHI, OCT 12 (PTI): Asserting that trade tensions and rising oil prices are affecting emerging nations, Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg said G-20 countries should take coordinated action to minimise the negative spillover effects of global risks on developing economies. During his intervention at G-20 Finance Ministers and Ce ntral Bank Governors Meeting in Bali, Indonesia on October 11-12, Garg also appreciated the progress of work under the Argentine Presidency on developing infrastructure as an asset class, a Finance Ministry statement said. Garg said risks related to trade tensions, financial vulnerabilities and oil prices have materialised and are having major impact on the Emerging Market Economies (EMEs). The deliberations in the G-20 meeting centred on key risks facing the global economy, enhancing a resilient international financial architecture, financing infrastructure development. Besides, the meeting focussed on progress on compact with Africa as well as streamlining of the Global

Mumbai, Oct 12 (PTI): Rising for the third straight day, the rupee strengthened by 55 paise to settle at 73.57 against the US dollar Friday, marking its biggest gain in over three weeks as global crude prices eased and domestic indices staged a smart rebound. Steps taken by the government to curb non-essential imports and anticipation of more measures to attract foreign inflows have boosted sentiment in the market, traders said. The government Thursday hiked the import duty on certain communication items, including base stations, to up to 20 per cent as part of efforts to check a widening current account deficit and shore up the rupee. At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex), the rupee opened on a strong note at 73.84 from Thursday’s close of 74.12. It gained further ground to hit a high of 73.52 against the US dollar, driven by selling of the greenback by exporters and banks and easing crude oil prices. The domestic unit finally settled for the day at 73.57, up by 55 paise. This is its biggest gain since September 19, when it had jumped 61 paise.

India buying Iran oil not helpful: US At least 34 killed in Uganda landslide

Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday said that two state refiners have placed orders for importing crude oil from Iran in November. “Overall with regard to those sanctions that will take effect on November 4th - and you’re referring to the oil sanctions for Iran and countries that choose to continue purchasing oil from Iran - we have conversations with many partners and allies around the world about those sanctions,” she said on Thursday. “We make our poli-

cies very clear to those countries. We continue to have conversations with the government of Iraq about that particular issue and the implications for the reimposition of sanctions that were previously lifted or even waived under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA),” Nauert said.

question about whether or not India would buy oil from Iran after sanctions are reimposed. And the President said - and I’m not going to get ahead of the President, certainly - but he said we’ll take care of that,” she said. On the implication of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act or CAATSA on India after it inked the USD 5 billion deal with Russia to purchase the S-400 Triumf air defence system, Nauert said, “He (the president) was asked also about CAATSA sanctions and possible imposition of CAATSA sanctions. And he said, you know, India is going to find out. “And India will find out. We’ll see. So I’m not going to get ahead of him, but certainly when we hear about things such as purchasing oil or the S-400 systems, it’s not helpful.

SEOUL, Oct 12 (Agencies): South Korean President Moon Jae-in called Friday on the United States to move towards the nuclear-armed North’s demands for a declaration the Korean War is over, as the allies pursue increasingly different approaches towards Pyongyang. Washington has shied away from a formal announcement that the 195053 conflict, when hostilities ceased with an armistice rather than a peace treaty, has ended, saying that the North must first take more steps towards giving up its atomic arsenal.

Moon Jae-in For its part Pyongyang -- which long insisted it needed nuclear weapons to defend itself against a possible US invasion -- has pledged only to work to-

wards denuclearisation “of the Korean peninsula”, demanding simultaneous moves by Washington in return, with a peace declaration its first priority. “The North has stopped all nuclear and missile tests, dismantled its only nuclear test site and is now dismantling its missile engine test facilities, and is promising to take steps toward dismantling its Yongbyon nuclear complex if the US takes corresponding measures,” Moon told the BBC. “Declaring the end of the war is a political declaration that the US would end

Experts say the offers made by the North will have little impact on its military capabilities, and Pyongyang itself has said it has no further need to test its weapons. But Moon said Kim understood denuclearisation meant more than closing testing facilities.

The apex court’s deadline to conclude a corruption trial against the Sharifs had ended on October 7, after which an extension plea had been submitted to the court. Granting the extension, the bench headed by Chief Justice Saqib Nisar also warned of strict consequences if the Flagship Investment and Al-Azizia corruption cases were not concluded during the given time-frame. The trial against the Sharifs commenced on September 14, 2017 after Pakistan’s anti-corruption body filed cases relating to the Avenfield, Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Hill Metal Establishment, and offshore companies. The accountability court announced its verdict on July 6 in the Avenfield reference, related to the Sharif family’s ownership of four flats in the posh Avenfield House in London. It handed a 10-year jail term to Nawaz Sharif, seven years to his daughter Maryam Nawaz for abetment and one year to his son-in-law Muhammad Safdar Awan. However, the Islamabad High Court in September suspended their prison sentences and ordered their release.

strike an appropriate balance between long-term risks to US national security and economic interests and the impact to the US nuclear industrial base,” an administration official told the media on Thursday. The review, which examined the economic and national security ramifications, was prompted by China’s efforts to gain US intellectual property, sometimes illicitly, in ways that undermine American businesses and the military. The administration official said China was “actively pursuing our advanced nuclear technology for diversion to military use in its third-generation nuclear power submarine, in the development of a nuclearpowered aircraft carrier and in strategic dual use nuclearpowered platforms, such as small modular reactors and floating nuclear power plants deployable in the South China Sea”.

Washington, Oct 12 (IANS): US President Donald Trump’s administration will limit sales of Washington’s civil nuclear technology to China out of concerns that it is being diverted for military and other unauthorized purposes, a top official said. “The US cannot ignore the national security implications of China’s efforts to obtain nuclear technology outside of established processes of US-China civil nuclear cooperation,” Secretary of Energy Rick Perry said in a statement on Thursday. The decision is the result of a broad government policy review led by the National Security Council and is driven by Beijing’s efforts to obtain advanced technology, nuclear material and equipment from US companies, reports CNN. “The administration concluded that a change in US civil nuclear cooperation with China is necessary to

We know that Iran and the government of Iran has taken the benefits that it received under the JCPOA and they’ve poured that money not into their own population, not into the good of the people, not into its medical hospitals and things of that nature, but rather they’ve used it for its own nefarious programmes,” Nauert said. Noting that she has seen reports of India continuing to buy oil from Iran after November 4, she said this was a topic of conversation with the Indian government when Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was in India last month for the first 2+2 Dialogue. “The President had addressed it - I believe it was just earlier today - which he was asked about that

Washington, Oct 12 (PTI): The US is reviewing “very carefully” India’s decision to continue importing oil from Iran after November 4 and purchase of the S-400 air defence system from Russia, the State Department has said, describing them as “not helpful”. The US is trying to cut off all oil imports from Iran following President Donald Trump’s decision in May to pull out of the 2015 multilateral deal that eased global sanctions in exchange for curbs on Iran’s suspect nuclear programmes and malign activities. It has given a November 4 deadline to its allies to bring down their import of Iranian oil to zero. Responding to questions on reports that India will continue to purchase oil from Iran after November 4, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said this was not helpful. India’s Oil Minister

Nathan Tumuhamye, director of an organisation that helps communities recover from natural disasters and conflict, told AFP that “four to five villages”, and possibly a primary school had been affected. “I have received the sad news of landslides wreaking havoc in Bududa District, killing a yet-to-(be)specified number of residents.

rincess Eugenie marries Jack Brooksbank at Windsor Castle The royal couple married at St. George’s Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle Friday morning. The 28-year-old bride, who is the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II and is ninth in line to the British throne, wore a custom gown by British designer Peter Pilotto and was walked into the chapel by her father, Prince Andrew, Duke of York. She topped off the look with a diamond and emerald encrusted tiara by Christopher De Vos.

Windsor Castle ahead of Britain’s second royal wedding of the year on a gusty day that required early arrivals to hold onto their elegant hats as they crossed the manicured grounds. The couple invited 1,200 members of the public to come onto the castle grounds for a closer glimpse of proceedings and like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, took a carriage ride through parts of Windsor after the ceremony. The royal wedding was also attended by celebrities such as Demi Moore, Cara Delevingne, Liv Tyler and Ellie Goulding. (FoxNews)

Tom Morello – ‘The Atlas Underground’ review Aguilera postpones the next stop of her

om Morello is still raging, but the machine could do with a little oil. The former Rage Against The Machine guitarist’s legacy as a musical titan is, at this stage, almost completely bulletproof. He is, undeniably, one of the most distinctive guitar players of all time, his chucka-chucka style and noose-thick riffs an immediately identifiable signature sound – an achievement that shouldn’t be taken for granted. His new solo album creaks a little, but ultimately gets the job done. Along with co-conspirator Zach De La Rocha, whose furious rapping style (the man mastered repressed disdain and searing, cathartic release) rode those riffs like a tank roaring over the White House lawn, Morello and the gang released four essential, politicised rap-rock albums between 1992 and 2000. The records (even ‘Renegades’, a bloody covers album!) still sound extraordinary, charged with righteous fury and – crucially – informed political insight. These guys knew their shit, and they weren’t going to stand for any of yours. So Morello has earned the right to experiment a little, to stray from the territory he so clearly owns. ‘The Atlas Underground’, then, is – brace yourself – an EDM record.

The album artwork depicts a rhino with wings, soaring through the clouds. Just to be clear about this: Tom Morello’s way past giving a fuck. Yet he has attracted a starry cast to this most dubious of undertakings: Vic Mensa lends a hand on ‘We Don’t Need You’, Marcus Mumford (!) croons on ‘Find Another Way’ and Big Boi and Killer Mike huff and puff through ‘Rabbit’s Revenge’. The latter collaboration is the most fruitful, recalling Rage and even Prophets of Rage, the rap-rock supergroup Morello formed with Chuck D and Cypress Hill’s B-Real in 2016. A more straight-up

rock track than the rest of the record, it’s at it’s most powerful when Mike roars, “Fight for my life like I’m motherfuckin’ Travyon”, a reference to Trayvon Martin, the unarmed black teenager shot dead in Florida in 2012. Elsewhere, Morello veers towards electro-pop, as on the successful Portugal. The Man-featuring ‘Every Step That I Take’ , all crunching handclaps and glossy production. The Vic Mensa track is less appealing, as mechanical riffs mesh uneasily with the Chicago rapper’s freeform flow. It sounds like they’re playing on different tracks, a fact

that becomes uncomfortably clear when he claims, “Tom Morello and Vic Mensa, we on time with this shit.” It’s like: you’re kind of not, mate. (You might raise your eyebrows when Mensa raps, “9/11 was a hoax / It was never hijacked / They sold our souls for oil to make us buy it back.” Step away from the Reddit thread, Vic.) Superstar DJ Steve Aoki and Rise Against frontman Tim McIlrath roar through the confounding EDM rocker ‘How Long’, which is so bizarre you can only admire its chutzpah. This also goes for ‘One Nation, which features EDM producer Pretty Lights; Morello’s lithe guitar riff – which evokes Rage’s 1999 classic ‘The Battle of Los Angeles’ – is offset by sprite-like beats and, later, a noodling, jazzy interlude. ‘Vigilante Nocturno’ is a similarly accomplished team-up with producer Carl Restivo; the head honcho’s looping riff rises up through an old gospel sample, dancing into electronic sounds like an asteroid careering through the stars.

‘Liberation’ tour after losing her voice

he “Genie in a Bottle” singer took to Twitter on Thursday to share with fans that she’s lost her voice, and will therefore be unable to perform at her scheduled concert in Orillia, Ontario. Aguilera is currently on her “Liberation” tour. Her next date is scheduled for Oct. 13 in Detroit, Michigan. “MY FIGHTERS, MY FRIENDS – it aches me to share that I am under the weather and have lost my voice today. Per doctor’s order, I need to rest tonight in order to get well asap – and will be unable to sing my heart out and perform for you at tonight’s show in Orillia, Ontario,” she said. “I have kept you waiting so long and I look forward to each night on this tour. I promise to make tonight up to you with a new date very soon – until then I am sending love and

gratitude for your support and I CANNOT WAIT to get back on the stage after this short rest,” she added. “All my love, Xtina.” Aguilera’s “Liberation” tour marks her first time on the road since 2008’s “Back to Basics” tour -- and the singer has definitely been pulling out all the stops. During her concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City last week, Bill and Hillary Clinton were special guests in the audience, while Lil’ Kim joined Aguilera on stage to sing their 2001 hit, “Lady Marmalade.” (FoxNews)

specifically black people, the idea, because we say, was America ever great for us? So we made an updated hat that said ‘Make America Great,’ and Trump wore the hat so he is open to adjusting and listening”, West is heard to say in a video posted to Twitter by CNN reporter Caroline Kelly. Jenkins also says that Apple Store employees were unable to comment about why Kanye was in attendance, but one said it was simply him being “extra”. As the talk came to an end, Kanye reportedly told those in attendance that he was heading to Africa – supporting his previous claims that he will finish recording Yandhi there. It came only hours after Kanye concluded his visit to the White House to see Donald Trump. (NME)

CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Walker was not the only person who took offense to the CNN segment. “These reprehensible, racist comments on CNN are typical of the Trumphating left” that exists in the mainstream media, Fox News contributor Deroy Murdock said. “Black Americans who think for ourselves are mocked and degraded with words we last saw under Jim Crow. If President Trump had no black supporters, they would call his circle ‘lily white,’” Murdock said. “Now, one of America’s most prominent black entertainers praises and visits the president, and he is trivialized as a ‘token’ who ‘doesn’t read.’” Murdock added that the “only silver lining in this vile cloud is that the supposedly bigoted Trump presidency has delivered the lowest black unemployment in American history.” (FoxNews)

fter meeting Donald Tr ump at the White House yesterday, Kanye We s t h e a d e d straight to an Apple Store in Washington. It’s believed that Kanye was in attendance for a Genius bar appointment, but he instead chose to stand atop a wooden table to deliver a “keynote” speech to customers in the store. It came only hours after he had shown off his own iPhone at the White House – and inadvertently revealed how his pincode was surprisingly weak as 0000. The talk was attended by reporter Jack Jenkins, who captured the moment on his phone and provided a running commentary of Kanye’s speech. According to Jenkins, West told the crowd how he had made Trump a custom hat that featured an edited version of his “Make American Great Again” slogan, with the “again” cut out as it’s disrespectful to black Americans. “It hurts us as people,

than yours? Because I called out Kanye for what he is? Uninformed! I’m an actual conservative, who’s worked on policy advancing those principles for 20-plus years. I’ll never be a shill for Trump.” Walker – who has dabbled in mixed martial arts in addition to his iconic football career – isn’t one to back down from a fight and quickly responded. “No...Tara Setmayer, anyone that is African American with an opinion different than yours, you want to call them out by using the N-word and Don Lemon is laughing?

Chase defies India as WI reach 295/7 DFL: FC Alianza, P. Vizheto FC win

Ramsey not planning Jan exit L ondon , O c t 1 2 (Agencies): Aaron Ramsey plans to stay at Arsenal this season and not make a cut-price January move after the collapse of contract talks. Ramsey has revealed he had expected to extend his 10-year Arsenal stay after his camp felt a new deal had been agreed with the Gunners hierarchy. But those talks were shelved and the Wales international is now set to become a free agent next summer, although Arsenal could attempt to cash in on the 27-year-old midfielder in the January transfer window. However, Ramsey said, “I am contracted to Arsenal and I am going to do my best now this season to try and achieve something special.” “Everything has been going great with the club. We thought we were in a position where we had agreed a deal but that’s no longer the case. So I just have to carry on playing my football and do my best for Arsenal this season, and I’ll leave the rest with the club now.” Ramsey has scored 59 goals for Arsenal since joining from Cardiff in 2008.

Dubai, Oct 12 (PTI): India captain Virat Kohli, who struck 139 in India’s massive win in the first Test against the West Indies, on Friday consolidated his position at the top of the Test rankings, moving within one point of his highest rating point of 937. Kohli had achieved his highest rating after the Southampton Test against England earlier this year. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav’s six wickets in the match, including a haul of five for 57 in the second innings, has lifted him 16 places to 52nd position. Ravindra Jadeja’s 100 not out has lifted him six places to 51st among batsmen,

But Powell did not survive long as Ashwin flighted one and the batsman, trying the inside-out lofted drive, failed to get the elevation to be caught by Ravindra Jadeja at cover. Powell’s opening partner Brathwaite showed better application compared to the first Test as he was ready to dig in his heels and defend doggedly. Youngsters Hope and Shimron Hetmeyer (10 batting), however, batted with grit, punishing the odd loose balls for boundary. Both were ready to defend Ashwin off the front-foot primarily and it worked to their advantage as they added 34 runs for the third wicket. The stand-out shots of the first session were a couple of back-foot punches by Hope off Umesh Yadav’s bowling. He also hit a front-foot cover drive before Umesh angled one in to get him leg before.

For the West Indies, Roston Chase has moved up four places to 41st position and Kieran Powell has advanced five slots to 54th position. Young Indian batsman Prithvi Shaw, who made an impressive debut in the Rajkot Test, has made fine entry into the Test rankings - entering the list of batsmen at the 73rd position. Australian debutant Aaron Finch, who slammed 62 and 49 in Dubai, was at number 72.

Argentina were without Lionel Messi, who is taking a sabbatical from international football, and fielded a new-look side that included one player making his debut and two others their first ever starts. The new boys were rarely troubled by an Iraq

side that defended in numbers, but showed little threat in their opponent’s half. Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez, playing only his second game for the national side, put Argentina ahead after 15 minutes with a superb header from a Marcos Acuna

cross. Roberto Pereyra doubled their lead eight minutes into the second half when he took a pass on the edge of the box and swept a right-foot shot home after the Iraq defence opened up in front of him. Defender Pezzella grabbed a third eight minutes from fulltime when he headed home after a flick on at a corner and Franco Cervi added a fourth in injury time after a surging run from midfield. “It wasn’t easy opening them up but we managed it and we were patient and managed to score more goals,” Pezzella said. The win took Argentina’s unbeaten run under interim coach Lionel Scaloni to three games. Since taking over from Jorge Sampaoli after Argentina’s poor performance at the World Cup in Russia, the South Americans have beaten Guatemala and Iraq and drawn with Colombia, without conceding a goal. Argentina’s next game is on Tuesday against arch rivals Brazil in Jeddah.

Djokovic to face Zverev in Shanghai semis Shanghai, Oct 12 (Agencies): Novak Djokovic advanced to the semi-finals of the Shanghai Masters following a straight set victory over Kevin Anderson on Friday. The world number three was too good for the tall South African, winning 7-6(1) 6-3 in an hour and 42 minutes on the hard courts of the Chinese city. Djokovic was brilliant on serve and relentless on return, hitting deep balls and keeping Anderson on the back foot. The Serb would lose just four points on serve in the second set. Anderson had a golden opportunity to take the opening set after he earned set point by coming to the net. However, some gutsy play and a couple big serves from Djokovic would force a tiebreaker, where it all unravelled for Anderson as he notched up 32 unforced errors by the end of the match.

LO N D O N, O c t 1 2 (Agencies): Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke is unlikely to return from injury until next year after undergoing knee surgery, manager Roy Hodgson said on Thursday. The 27-yearold has been sidelined since the beginning of September, having withdrawn from the Belgium squad during the last international break. The Premier League club confirmed on Wednesday that he had undergone minor surgery and a washout of the kneeand Hodgson said he is now facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

“There’s no doubt we won’t be seeing much of him this year,” Hodgson told Sky Sports. “I think it will take until into 2019 before we see him, but hopefully earlier than later in 2019.” Benteke, who joined Palace from Liverpool for 27 million pounds ($36 million) two years ago, has featured four times for the club in the league this season but has yet to score.
