DiMAPur, July 11 (MexN): The Naga Mothers Association (NMA) has called upon the concerned authorities to impose an “indefinite restrictions on hotels and restaurants serving alcohol and “luring young girls into immoral activities.”

A press note from the NMA informed that the Naga Women Hoho, Dimapur, the Dimapur Naga Students Union and women organizations of various colonies had conducted a mass drive at such hotels, restaurants, pubs and lounges in Dimapur. “Such unacceptable activities exist because there is a market/place,” stated the NMA and demanded that the “perpetrators of these crimes against minors and young girls indulging them in immoral activities” be “punished severely.” “We call upon the society to consider this issue very seriously and also urge every mother to desist from sending their girls to work without proper knowledge of the job, because the greatest dangers are disease and physical damage that can never be healed,” stated the NMA.

New Delhi, July 11 (iANS): A northeastern man was fired at and injured by two motorbike-riding masked assailants here Friday morning, police said.

The attack took place around 7 a.m. near Sarai Kale Khan area in south Delhi when Ricky, 21, was heading towards Select Citywalk, a shopping mall in south Delhi, on his motorbike. “Two bullets were fired at Ricky.

The first one did not hit him but the second one pierced his right thigh,” said a police official. He was rushed to the Max Hospital in the Saket area of south Delhi where doctors described his condition to be stable. A friend of the victim told IANS Ricky may be discharged from the hospital by Friday evening.

“A case of personal enmity cannot be ruled out. We are investigating all possible angles,” the official said. Police said no onlooker could note down the number of the motorbike used by the assailants as it was covered.

Ricky, boxing champion, works as a physical instructor in a gym in the mall. He lives in the Patparganj area of east Delhi. His mother belongs to Manipur while his father hails from Punjab.

Ricky’s mother, Khula Laimayum Sahani, 50, claimed in her complaint to the police the attackers might be associates of two people who had snatched her gold chain June 28 evening when she was headed home on her scooter. She said the snatchers threatened her after she caught hold and handed them over to the police.

AttAck on north eAst PeoPle: Bezbaruah committee submits report

New Delhi, July 11 (Pti): A committee, set up to look into the concerns of people from the Northeast living in different parts of the country, has recommended legal measures to ensure their safety and security from any assault on them.

The M P Bezbaruah committee, which submitted its report to Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju today, quoted a High Court observation which suggested that any attack of racial nature should be made a punishable offence.

However, sources said, no suggestion has been given

Recommends legal measures to ensure safety and security from racial assault

by the committee for enactment of an anti-racial law but strengthening and proper implementation of existing laws.

When contacted, Bezbaruah, a former IAS officer, said the committee has given various recommendations on the basis of its terms and conditions. “We have analysed the problem and recommended how to address

it,” he told PTI. After receiving the report, Rijiju said it will be processed on priority.

The Committee was constituted in February, 2014 to look into the various concerns of persons hailing from the North Eastern states who are living in different parts of the country, especially the Metropolitan areas, and to suggest suitable remedial

measures which could be taken by the government.

The Terms of Reference of the Committee were: (1) to examine the various kinds of concerns, including the concerns regarding security, of the persons hailing from the North Eastern states (2) to examine the causes behind the attacks/violence and discrimination against the people from the NorthEastern states (3) to suggest measures to be taken by the government to address these concerns (4) to suggest legal remedies to address these concerns.

KK Paul is ‘officially’ nagaland Governor Morung Express News Dimapur | July 11

AgArtAlA, July 11 (iANS): Nagaland Governor Vakkom B. Purushothaman, who held additional charge as Tripura governor, resigned Friday protesting that he was not consulted on his transfer as governor from Mizoram to Nagaland. He is the sixth governor to put in his papers since the NDA came to power at the Centre.

“We have unofficially learnt that Purushothaman has resigned, but no official communique was received from Rashtrapati Bhavan yet,” a Tripura Raj Bhavan official told IANS. Purushothaman, an 86-year-old veteran Congress leader who served in Kerala as minister and assembly speaker and was also elected to the Lok Sabha twice, told reporters in Thiruvananthapuram: “My secretary has sent my resignation letter to Rashtrapati Bhavan.”

On Sunday in a reshuffle of governors, Gujarat governor Kamla Beniwal was transferred to Mizoram while Purushothaman was transferred as governor of Nagaland with additional charge of Tripura. Kamla Beniwal, 87, assumed office Wednesday as the 12th governor of Mizoram.

Purushothaman is the sixth governor to resign after the Narendra Modi-led government took charge at the Centre May 26. The five governors who quit earlier were B.L. Joshi (Uttar Pradesh), Shekhar Dutt (Chhattisgarh), Ashwani

In the midst of confusion surrounding the post of Governor for Nagaland state, it has been learnt that KK Paul may continue as Nagaland Governor for some time. Former Mizoram Governor, Vakkom B. Purushothaman was transferred to Nagaland just four days after KK Paul was sworn in as Nagaland Governor on July 2. An official from the Raj Bhavan, Kohima informed that there has been no official Communiqué from New Delhi and concluded that Paul, who is also the Meghalaya Governor, still holds the Nagaland Governor’s post “officially.” “Paul is scheduled to visit Nagaland on July 19,” he added. The official further stated that the probability of Shiela Dikshit being appointed as Nagaland Governor was “very unlikely.” Reports had emerged on July 9 that the former Delhi Chief Minister could be transferred to Nagaland.

Kumar (Nagaland), M.K. Narayanan (West Bengal), and B.V. Wanchoo (Goa).

Rajasthan Governor Margaret Alva, who is due to finish her term in about a month, has been given additional responsibility of Gujarat while D.Y. Patil, governor of Bihar, will discharge the functions of the governor of West Bengal in addition to his normal duties.

Criticising the National Democratic Alliance government’s decision to ask governors appointed by the previous government to resign, Purushothaman said: “Governors could not be shunted around like government servants. This is a constitutional post and must be accorded due respect.”

He said though many people who were appointed as governors may have been full-time politicians, nobody would behave in a partisan manner after assuming office with a constitutional mandate.

“The office of the gover-

nor is an august office and nobody has so far shown partisanship or favouritism while holding the post,” he said. “Nobody had asked me to resign, but there was no consultation with me before I was transferred (from Mizoram to Nagaland).

Consultation before transfer of a governor is the normal practice,” he added.

“In some cases, the union home secretary had sought their (some governors’) resignation. What right does a secretary have to make such a demand on a governor?” the octogenarian asked.

Purushothaman said he would continue to be active in politics, but has no intention to hold any political office or be in electoral politics. Purushothaman had around two years left of his tenure as governor.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said last week that the appointments of new governors will be made soon.

We are failing certain Auto drivers opposed to uniform run amok populations, says WHO Morung Express News Dimapur | July 11

geNeVA, July 11 (reuterS): Five key groups, including gay men, prostitutes and prisoners, have stubbornly high rates of HIV that are threatening progress in the global AIDS battle, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Friday.

These people are most at risk of becoming infected with the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS, yet are least likely to get HIV prevention, testing and treatment services, the Geneva-based United Nations health agency said. “Globally we are failing certain populations that have the greatest risk yet we know have universally poorer access to health services,” Gottfried Hirnschall, director of the WHO’s department, told reporters at a briefing. “We are seeing exploding epidemics in some of these key populations,” he said, adding that these groups account for up to 50 percent of new cases of HIV infection.

The WHO said studies estimate that female sex workers are 14 times more likely to have HIV than other women, gay men are 19 times more likely to have HIV than the general population, and transgender women are almost 50 times more likely than other adults to have HIV. For injecting drug users, the risks of HIV infection can be 50 times higher than the general population. For the first time, the WHO said it “strongly recommends” that men who have sex with men should consider taking antiretroviral AIDS drugs as an extra way of protecting themselves against HIV infection, alongside using condoms.

Such an approach, known as preexposure prophylaxis or PrEP, is a way for people who do not have HIV but are

at risk of getting it to protect themselves by taking a single pill, usually a combination of two antiretrovirals, every day.

PrEP, when taken consistently, has been shown to cut the risk of HIV infection in high risk people by up to 92 percent.

Progress 35.3 million people worldwide are infected with HIV, but rising number of patients reflects great strides in recent years in developing sophisticated HIV tests and combination AIDS drugs and getting them to many who need them to stay alive.

The annual AIDS death toll is falling, dropping to 1.6 million people in 2012 from a peak of 2.3 million in 2005. New HIV infections are also steadily declining, by one-third in 2013 from 2011. This progress has raised hopes for a world free of AIDS or HIV in our lifetime. Yet figures show the key high risk populations continue to have high infection rates, and appear to be hard to reach in terms of getting the right prevention messages, or getting them the testing and treatment health services they need.

Hirnschall said that in many countries, gay men, sex workers and other marginalised groups are left out of national HIV plans and excluded by discriminatory laws and policies. “None of these people live in isolation,” he warned. “Sex workers and their clients have husbands, wives and partners. Some inject drugs. Many have children. Failure to provide services to people who are at greatest risk of HIV jeopardises further progress against the global epidemic.”

Cautions of ‘exploding HIV epidemic’ in key populations

A group of autorickshaw drivers opposing the ‘mandatory uniform directive’ ran amok today, assaulting fellow drivers for wearing uniform. The Dimapur District Regional Transport Authority has made it mandatory for auto drivers to wear uniform with name tag from March 6 this year. The directive was implemented keeping in mind the safety of commuters and the drivers in particular.

As the move faced opposition from certain quarters, authorities have been conducting checks at regular intervals since the issuing of the directive. On July 11, the district administration along with the Transport Authority and traffic per-

sonnel was conducting one such routine check when a group of people, reported to be auto drivers, started assaulting fellow drivers along Army Supply road for were wearing uniform. Several victims (drivers) were forced to take off the grey uniform while those who opposed were assaulted and their shirts torn off, the district administration stated.

According to the district administration, some members of the group even gheraoed a checkpoint set up for the purpose at Dhobinulla junction.

The violent defiance was subsequently contained around afternoon after police arrested 10 men from various locations.

Seven of the arrested were identified by the police as Atoka, Limatongzuk, K. Zeliang, Kaheto, Nikavi Chishi, Adem

Phom and Gautam Sarkar.

It was informed that police are on the lookout for the “ring-leaders”. “We are determined to enforce the ‘uniform rule’ this time... we will not cow down to pressure,” commented an official of the Dimapur District Administration.

In a related incident at Padumpukhuri junction, one traffic constable was slightly injured while chasing an autorickshaw, which had jumped a police signal to stop for checking. There were also allegations from drivers without uniform that they were penalised even after producing receipts for pending orders from tailors. The district administration has maintained that the drivers have been given ample time to get their uniforms stitched.

People’s Bridge becomes a reality

DiMAPur, July 11 (MexN): Villagers of the Changsang and Sangshen ranges, mobilized by the Eleutheros Christian Society, today inaugurated a forty five meter bridge over the river Yijung in Tuensang district. The bridge, termed as the ‘people’s bridge’ is a 45 feet long wooden bailey bridge, which was built solely through the efforts of the villagers.

A press note from the Eleutheros Christian Society informed that government assistance was sought on various occasions but to no avail. “Since the people felt that it would be futile to wait any longer, the work began in earnest in the month of February 2014,” it informed. People from

seven villages, with support from members of the Naga Blog, neighbouring village councils and several individuals toiled to make the bridge a reality.

It was informed that the ‘Zynorique Initiative’ headed by Richard Belho along with a few friends came to the bridge to set up a watch tower made of pre-fabricated bamboo. Er L choba volunteered to design and supervise the construction of the bridge, it was stated.

Chief Secretary, Banuo Jamir graced the inaugura-

tion of the bridge on July 11 and appreciated ECS and the affirmative action taken by the people. Lithrongla Chishi, Home Secretary was also present and applauded the effort of the people. Besides other dignitaries, council members from various other villages were also present to gauge the viability of such bridges in their areas.

ECS stated that the bridge will enable patients from fifteen villages to reach the hospital within thirty minutes to one hour. At pres-

ent a journey to the hospital takes three to four hours.

The road will reduce travel time to Assam from Tuensang by two hours via Longleng, Changtongya to Jhanji in Assam. Of the six kilometre stretch, four kilometres will pass through 230 acres of orange farms and will enable the oranges to reach Assam within 5 hours. The road will also serve as an alternative road to Tuensang from Longleng and Noksen. Harvest from the paddy fields of 3 villages can now be transported by vehicle.

Rev Chingmak, founder of ECS remarked that this particular bridge is a reflection of how people in remote places “have very little option but to rely on one’s own devices.”

Morung Express News Dimapur | July 11

According to ASI Mathung, DEF Peren, the fundamental rights of every citizen in the Naga society is well protected. To validate his point, he stated that the State government has set up “community policing” whereby the law enforcing agencies and the civil society can work together to ensure that the rights of citizens are protected. He added that the law enforcing agencies are sensitized on Human Rights and the department has installed CCTVs in police stations to ensure that people’s rights are not violated.

Speaking at the 10th Dimapur district level debate

competition organised by the Police department yesterday in Dimapur, Mathung and his team mates against the motion on the topic “Human Rights and Social Justice is devalue in Naga society,” stated that the Naga society recognizes the right of every citizen and the State has also made considerable progress in delivering social justice to its citizens. On the role of the government in providing social justice and security to its citizens, Mathung stated the government is providing necessary “welfare schemes” to every section of the society.

On the opposite bench, ABSI Mhonyamo Kikon, 13 NAP (IR), pointed out that Naga society is rooted in cor-

ruption and there is no social, economic or political justice for the common man. He stated that despite the existence of universal Human Right laws and Human Rights organisations in Nagaland, people witness violation of human rights every day.

“People continue to witness rape, extortion, inhuman killings on a daily basis. What Human Rights are we talking about?” he questioned. He stated that Nagas are unable to protect the rights of their won people let alone outsiders living in Nagaland.

Kikon further pointed out that that people are not even allowed to exercise their basic rights like their “right to vote”,while also adding that “individual rights” of Nagas have been curbed by

various NGOs. “We can no longer take individual decisions as all decisions are now collectively taken by NGOs,” he pointed out.

Further, providing hardhitting points for the motion, other participants also focused on the denial of basic human rights to the poorer section of society.

“Social justice eludes Naga society glaringly as the rich are getting richer while the poor are being robbed of their basic right to food, education and equality before the law. Poor people are put in jail for petty crimes while the rich get away with anything,” said one of the participants. They also pointed out that Nagaland is seeing gradual rise in the level of poverty and decrease in the

C M Y K

human development index.

The Armed Forces Special Powers Act or AFSPA, though the opposition claimed was “invalid” after the ceasefire agreement, those for the motion also argued that it is still used in disguise.

The debate competition was held at the police conference hall, SPs office, Dimapur. Akumba Yimnchunger, IPS, DIGP Range/ NAP, in his address said that Human Rights education is a part of the curriculum at the Nagaland Police Training School. However, more needs to be done in educating and sensitizing the police for the sake of the general public and such debate competitions being one of the initiatives, he said.

‘FNR and ACAUT working for worthy cause’ HUDCO sanctions cesspool

C M Y K

Jakama, July 11 (mExN): Responding to queries raised by students on “Forum for Naga Reconciliation and Action Committee Against Unabated Taxation running a parallel movement,” the ACAUT team believed that Forum for Naga Reconciliation is making sincere effort to unite the factions through Christian values and principles of forgiveness and reconciliation. However, as long as all the factions have their independent authority to raise tax from the people in the name of sovereignty, they are able to survive comfortably and therefore Christian values do not really compel them to consider reconciliation in a serious manner.

“The road ACAUT has adopted is a difficult one but a possible one; when we the public finds the collective strength and courage to stop paying their illegal tax, they will be forced to consider uniting if they want to survive. No factions would take FNR seriously if they adopt this strategy. Since both ap-

proaches are for a worthy cause, we are working separately, but for the same purpose,” asserted ACAUT team during their interaction with the students of St. Joseph’s College, Jakhama on July 9.

ACAUT Nagaland Media Cell in a press release stated that ACAUT Nagaland visited the St. Joseph’s College, Jakhama as part of its ongoing awareness drive.

The interaction with the faculty and students took place in the college basketball court, which was moder-

ated by Kevitho Kera, Social Media Convenor.

On questioning about how ‘One government One Tax’ can unite the factions, the ACAUT team said that all factions need money to run their organizations.

At present, all factions are comfortably surviving on illegal taxation in the name of sovereignty. We see no rationality for seven factions to be fighting separately for one sovereignty. Therefore, they must unite in everyone's interest. The only way

to make them unite is to cut off their financial resources and they will be forced to unite if they want to survive.

The people have been paying tax for fear of AK47 but the time has come for us to all stand together and say, “Enough is enough” and stop paying tax until they unite. Once they unite, the citizens are prepared to pay for a united national movement. Provided Nagas can stand together in a determined way, it is possible that the factions will be forced to

rethink their unreasonable approach in this matter.

Speaking at the event, Khekiye K. Sema (IAS Retd), ACAUT Consultative Body member said, “Nagas as Christians have lost our honest character. We rather go back to head hunting when we had strong principles. Government is the eighth faction collecting taxes. All factions are fighting for sovereignty but does sovereignty differ for every faction?” Also Kezhokhoto Savi, ACAUT Legal cell Convenor said, “NGOs are equally guilty in the Illegal collections taking place in the National highways.

Ministers asking cuts and commissions should not be tolerated.”

Mar Longkumer, Tia Longchar and Dr. Khekhügha Muru were the other accompanying ACAUT members. St. Joseph’s College is a community college and has as of now 2760 students where coaching for UPSC and NSPC is also provided. It offers Humanities, Science, Commerce and BBA courses.

Assam to set up enquiry committee to find nexus in encroachment

GUWAHATI, JUly 11 (PTI): The Assam government will set up an inquiry committee to find out the alleged nexus between officials of different government agencies and encroachers in the state capital, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Friday said.

"We will establish an enquiry committee soon to see the nexus between officials of different bodies. Anyone found to be involved in violating the law will be punished," Gogoi said during a press conference here.

The eviction exercise, which entered its 12th day today, has revealed that hundreds of encroachers were having Guwahati Municipal Corporation's holding number and also enjoyed electricity connections to their houses.

"I will order the enquiry in the next few days. It will basically look into the anomalies in the last 10-15 years. We cannot enquire all cases as grabbing of land has been going on for 50-60 years

GUWAHATI, JUly 11 (PTI): The Narendra Modi government has 'cheated' the people of Assam as the Union Budget did not offer anything to the state, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said today.

"People of Assam voted for the BJP overwhelmingly during the Lok Sabha elections. BJP and Modi had

charged Manmohan Singh of doing nothing for the state.

BJP promised to give a lot to the people of Assam, but gave nothing in the budget," Gogoi told a press conference here.

"Modi had promised to solve the issues of the state such as unemployment, flood, illegal migration, rhino poaching and water resources. But in reality, they

have just cheated the people of Assam," he claimed. The budget, he added, allocated thousands of crores of rupees for the Ganges, but nothing for the Brahmaputra.

SHIllonG, JUly 10 (IAnS): The central government has directed Meghalaya not to hold talks with the outlawed Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA), a rebel outfit fighting for a separate Garoland state, Chief Minister Mukul Sangma said Thursday. "They (central government) have formally indicated to us that we should not continue to pursue talks with the GNLA since they (GNLA) are continuing with their criminal activities," Sangma told journalists.

"They (GNLA) were given an opportunity (to hold talks) but they missed it and are continuing to indulge in criminal activities and killing of women and children," he said. Sangma said the only hope for the GNLA is to give up its armed struggle. GNLA rebels, who number around 100, have unleashed terror in five impoverished districts of Garo Hills in the last five years and killed over 100 people.

On the allegation of administration being partisan in carrying out the eviction drive, the Chief Minister said no discrimination will be done to the people. "If MLAs have encroached on the water bodies, they will also lose their land. We are determined to clear the channels in the city for free flow of water," he said. After the eviction is complete on the water bodies of the city, the administration will dredge and fence to protect them from future encroachment, Gogoi said.

In the eviction exercise, started after the worst-ever flood in the city last month, the administration has so far pulled down 1,269 'kachcha' and concrete houses at different areas and cleared nearly 235 bighas of government land.

Infosys seeks revival with more tech investments, staff

MuMBAi, July 11 (ReuTeRS): India’s second largest IT services provider InfosysLtd said on Friday it would boost investment in cloud computing, smartphone apps and other new technologies to win more high-margin outsourcing contracts.

The move towards these more lucrative deals heralds a change in focus

by Infosys, once a trendsetter in India’s $100 billion IT outsourcing industry but which has struggled in recent years to retain staff and market share.

Analysts say new technology is the next big requirement for global corporations. Infosys currently derives the bulk of its revenue from low-margin and highly competitive businesses like application development and maintenance and IT infrastructure management services.

“Change is inevitable,” Outgoing Chief Executive Officer and co-founder S.D. Shibulal told reporters after Infosys posted a higherthan-expected quarterly net profit growth of 21.6%.

ness and tech savvy, is expected to drive the strategy change in Infosys.

Sikka will also have to stem a staff exodus, which hit record-high levels in the quarter to June 30 as well as revive Infosys’ innovative edge that, some investors, said was blunted by the outgoing, conservative management.

In a sign of the times, Infosys said it won a deal in the June quarter from a leading insurance company to develop a smartphone app that allows parents to set up a driving pact

with their teenagers.

Infosys, which lost its position as India’s most widely held stock to mortgage lender Housing Development Finance this year, was up 1.6% to 3,345 rupees at 1:07 p.m., while the broader Nifty was down 1.1%.

Shibulal, the last of Infosys’ seven founders to hold the role of CEO and who is leaving at the end of this month, said the company had already taken several measures to retain staff, including quarterly promotions. “Attrition is a matter of concern to us, it is definitely

ness and evil activities that is destroying families and young people in the state.

The Watchman Team observed with first hand information as to what was happening inside.

The team observed that these joints are very unhygienic and have dinghy cabins for immoral activities and found pornographic materials and secret alcohol storage and girls undergarments strewn all over the place. To our shocked amazement we found an

underage 16 year old locked inside the kitchen who was employed in one the lounge and many minors girls and boys local and non-local.

We appeal to the concerned authorities to check the sale of alcohol and other social evils activity centres like the railway station, Purana Bazaar, Marwari pati, Dobinalla, Notun Bosti- LRC Junction, Burma Camp, etc. and cancel their licenses immediately before they face the wrath of the people.

higher than our comfort range,” he told reporters.

Chief Financial Officer Rajiv Bansal said he expected staff exits to moderate to around 15% in the next few quarters, after the annualised staff attrition rate touched a record 19.5%t in the June quarter. Infosys, which had cash and cash equivalents worth nearly $4.2 billion at end-June, maintained its revenue growth forecast for the year to March 2015 at 7-9%, as analysts expected, with the company expecting to win some large deals this year.

“India has not only informed the EU regarding implementation of these control systems but have also formally conveyed our disagreement on the temporary restriction imposed by the EU,” she said. In 201314, India has exported mangoes worth Rs 5,022 lakh (3,933 tonnes) as against Rs 3,559 lakh in 2012-13 (3,890 tonnes).

Replying to another question on onion exports, she informed that India has exported onions worth Rs 3,197 crore in 2013-14. In 2012-13, the outbound shipments were valued at Rs 1,970 crore. The 5 top export destinations for the commodity in 2013-14 are - Bangladesh (Rs 896 crore), Malaysia (Rs 639 crore), UAE (Rs 330 crore), Sri Lanka (Rs 392 crore) and Indonesia (Rs 258 crore).

New Delhi, July 11 (Fe): HTC, after bombarding the Indian market with smartphones catering to all price ranges over the past few months, on Friday launched a flagship phone as well as an affordable mid-range device. The HTC One E8 will cost just under Rs 35,000 while the HTC Desire 616 has been priced Rs 16,900.

Speaking to indianexpress.com, Chialin Chang, Chief Financial Officer of HTC, said almost all its new phones, except the top-end One range, are now made keeping the Indian consumer in mind. “It is because India is not only an important market, but also a very strategic one for us,” he said.

The EU has prohibited import from India of 5 fruits and vegetables, which include mangoes, on account of interceptions of export consignments not compliant with EU phytosanitary (relating to plant life) regulations.

UN pushes for migrants to be called refugees Alberto Arce and Michael Weissenstein associated Press

U

nited Nations officials are pushing for many of the Central Americans fleeing to the U.S. to be treated as refugees displaced by armed conflict, a designation meant to increase pressure on the United States and Mexico to accept tens of thousands of people currently ineligible for asylum.

Officials with the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees say they hope to see movement toward a regional agreement on that status Thursday when migration and interior department representatives from the U.S., Mexico, and Central America meet in Nicaragua. The group will discuss updating a 30-year-old declaration regarding the obligations that nations have to aid refugees.

While such a resolution would lack any legal weight, the agency said it believes "the U.S. and Mexico should recognize that this is a refugee situation, which implies that they shouldn't be automatically sent to their home countries but rather receive international protection."

Most of the people widely considered to be refugees by the international community are fleeing more traditional political or ethnic conflicts like those in Syria or the Sudan. Central Americans

would be among the first modern migrants considered refugees because they are fleeing violence and extortion at the hands of criminal gangs.

Central America's Northern Triangle of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras has become one of the most violent regions on earth in recent years, with swathes of all three countries under the control of drug traffickers and street gangs who rob, rape and extort ordinary citizens with impunity.

Honduras, a primary transit point for U.S.-bound cocaine, has the world's highest homicide rate for a nation that is not at war.

Hondurans who are used to hiding indoors at night have been terrorized anew in recent months by a wave of attacks against churches, schools and buses.

During a recent visit to the U.S., Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez said migrants from his country were "displaced by war" and called on the United States to acknowledge that.

Honduran police routinely are accused of civil rights violations. The AP has reported at least five cases of alleged gang members missing or killed after being taken into police custody in what critics and human rights advocates call death squads engaged in a wave of social cleansing of criminals.

Violence by criminal organizations spread after members of California street gangs were deport-

ed to Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, where they overwhelmed weak and corrupt police forces.

In El Salvador, the end of a truce between street gangs has led to a steep rise in homicides this year.

Salvadorans heading north through Mexico who were interviewed by The Associated Press last month said there also was fear of the "Sombra Negra," or "Black Shadow" groups of masked men in civilian clothes who are believed responsible for extrajudicial killings of

teens in gang-controlled neighborhoods. The Salvadoran government denies any involvement in death squads, but says it is investigating the reports.

In El Salvador, at least 135,000 people, or 2.1 percent of the population, have been forced to leave their homes, the vast majority due to gang extortion and violence, according to U.N. figures. That's more than twice the percentage displaced by Colombia's brutal civil war, the U.N. says.

Immigration experts in

the U.S. and Central America say the flow of migrants from Honduras and El Salvador is likely to rise as the two countries experience more gang-related violence. "They are leaving for some reason. Let's not send them back in a mechanical way, but rather evaluate the reasons they left their country," Fernando Protti, regional representative for the U.N. refugee agency, told The Associated Press.

Even though the agreement would not be legally binding on the countries

that sign it, advocates say it would help create international consensus to help the migrants. Those actions could include emergency aid and social services for internally displaced people inside Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.

While U.N.-backed refugee camps house tens of thousands of people who have fled conflicts around the world, they are not a practical solution to the Central American crisis, said Dr. David James Cantor, director of the Refugee Law Initiative

at the University of London, who has been pushing for the recognition of violence as one of the main factors driving Central American migration.

"Somebody from El Salvador will fit in in Guatemala. I don't think we want to get on the route of isolating them," he said. "They're not in the middle of the Syrian desert where there's nobody to receive them."

The United States has seen a dramatic increase in the number of Central American migrants crossing into its territory, particularly children traveling without any adult guardian.

More than 52,000 unaccompanied children have been apprehended since October. Three-fourths of them are from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador and most say they are fleeing pervasive gang violence and crushing poverty.

Both Congressional Republicans and the Obama administration have called for action to reverse the trend. Among other changes, the administration wants to end a 2008 law allowing child migrants to automatically appear before an immigration judge. Instead, Border Patrol agents could decide whether to deport them or allow them an additional hearing.

Asked Monday whether the Obama administration viewed the situation at the border as a refugee crisis, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said it was "a humanitarian situation that requires

urgent attention."

The administration, he said, wanted to ensure child migrants were housed in "humane conditions" while authorities worked quickly to determine whether they should be allowed to remain in the U.S. If not, he said, the Homeland Security secretary should be allowed "to exercise his discretion about repatriating." Many Congressional Republicans attribute the increased immigration to a failure to secure the border and recent immigration policy changes that led many to believe child migrants would be allowed to stay.

Many of the migrants, in fact, stay for years as their cases wend through overloaded migration courts. Those who say they are fleeing criminal violence generally are not eligible for political asylum, which is reserved for groups persecuted for their beliefs or identities.

U.N. officials say there is no way of forcing the U.S. and Mexico to accept Central Americans as refugees, but a broad-based change in terminology could bring pressure on the two countries to do more.

"Unaccompanied children and families who fear for their lives and freedoms must not be forcibly returned without access to proper asylum procedures," UNHCR official Leslie Velez said in testimony submitted to the House Judiciary Committee late last month.

Now sober, De La Hoya still keeps fighting No monkey business

in 'Planet of the Apes'

T

he day after winning the only gold medal for the U.S. boxing team in the 1992 Olympics, Oscar De La Hoya was pulled out of bed to sit next to swimmer Janet Evans and talk about the success of American athletes in Barcelona.

Little did U.S. Olympic officials know that the 19-year-old had gotten so drunk the night before while celebrating his win that his family had to carry him back to his room. Now he sat wearing dark sunglasses in front of a room full of journalists, so hung over that he couldn't stay awake long enough to answer the simplest of questions.

"I'm sitting at this little table and Janet Evans is next to me with I don't know how many golds," De La Hoya said, "And I just fall asleep. They're asking me questions and I don't know what was happening. I just kept hearing 'Oscar, Oscar.'"

The drinking didn't stop even as he became the Golden Boy and embarked on a spectacular pro career where he pocketed, by his own estimates, $300 million. When it finally ended in December 2008 with a beating at the hands of Manny Pacquiao, De La Hoya's toughest opponent hadn't changed.

The bottle remained unbeaten.

"When I fought Pacquiao, two weeks before the fight I was plastered out of my mind," De La Hoya said.

Boxing history is littered with similar tales of fighters and addiction problems. Most don't end well, though Sugar Ray Leonard and Julio Cesar Chavez overcame the odds to tell their tales of alcohol abuse and drug problems.

De La Hoya wants to tell his story, too. At 41, he finally seems comfortable with himself following a three-month stint in a Malibu rehabilitation cen-

ter where he wasn't even allowed to see his wife and six children.

He says he's finally overcome his demons. It feels good to talk about them because he believes they're gone for good.

He's back fighting, this time in the board room instead of the ring. At stake in the battle with his former CEO Richard Schaefer is control of his boxing company, Golden Boy Promotions, and De La Hoya makes it clear that he's in this fight to win.

More importantly, though, he says he's taken control of his life after being lost for years.

"I finally feel free. I finally feel at peace for the very first time in my life," he said during an hourlong interview with The Associated Press at the MGM Grand Hotel. De La Hoya is here to promote rising Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez against Erislandy Lara in what he calls "maybe the biggest weekend of my life" because this promotion is his alone.

Before his latest rehab,

De La Hoya said, he was content to let Schaefer and others run the company while he tried to enjoy himself.

"I didn't want the responsibility," he said. "I'm the Golden Boy. I was supposed to have everything."

That it's taken two rehabs to get to where he is now isn't lost on De La Hoya, who in addition to his own career takes credit for launching the careers of some of his opponents — most notably Floyd Mayweather Jr. — into big pay-per-view successes.

De La Hoya for years was the biggest draw in boxing of anyone not named Mike Tyson, and he says his fights grossed $700 million on pay-per-view sales alone.

He's still got the money because he was smart about that. Took some advice given to him as boy when his dad took him to a gym in East Los Angeles to get some tutoring from former lightweight champion Ike Williams.

"My dad thought he was going to teach me how to throw a left hook or some-

thing," De La Hoya said.

"But he said 'The only advice I'm going to give you his to keep your money.'

That always stuck with me."

While De La Hoya has stashed some of his money safely away, he's also invested well. He owns a high-rise in LA, has a piece of the Houston Dynamo soccer club and is the majority shareholder in Golden Boy Promotions, which he called "the best investment of any of them."

And when he drives in downtown Los Angeles he can always go check out his statue in front of Staples Center. The kid from East LA grew up to win titles in six weight classes and was inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame last month.

"This is my passion.

This is what keeps me alive," he said. "Boxing literally gave me a life as a kid, promoting gave me another life."

He credits his wife, singer Millie Corretjer, for sticking with him through drunken and sometimes embarrassing times.

"I was there being the Golden Boy but I was emotionally disconnected," he said. "I've been disconnected emotionally ever since I was a teenager."

Now he is back in spotlight. De La Hoya says thinks Alvarez has a chance to become the richest fighter ever if he keeps improving. The redhaired Mexican — whose only loss was last year to Mayweather — is just 23 and is headlining his second pay-per-view show.

De La Hoya's falling out with Schaefer — who left the company last month — remains to be settled, but De La Hoya says he's moving forward.

He's reconciled with former promoter Bob Arum and is eager to make big fights with his rival company.

Not that it will be easy.

There are plenty of enemies out there in boxing, even if you are the Golden Boy. "There are people who don't like it and I understand why," De La Hoya said. "But the sleeping giant has woken up."

igital characters have by now long populated our movies like unwanted house guests. Some of these CGI inventions, like Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings," have been pleasant, even precious company. But most have disrupted our movie worlds — and not just as monsters tearing our cities apart, but as awkward distractions to our cinematic realities. The name Jar Jar Binks will forever be followed by solemn head shaking. Never forget.

But in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," the tables have turned, and not just because apes now rule a world where all but 1 in 500 humans have been wiped out by a so-called simian flu virus.

No, the biggest uprising in the sequel to 2011's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is by those digitally created, nonhuman characters which have finally and resoundingly come of age.

Hail Caesar.

That's the ape played

by Andy Serkis, the motion-capture maestro of creatures like Gollum and a much bigger ape, Kong.

Serkis played Caesar in "Rise of the Planet Apes," the surprisingly good origin story of the rebooted "Apes" franchise wherein chimps, injected with a serum meant to cure human brain damage, develop great intelligence.

Caesar was a fine character then, but in "Dawn," he shifts to center stage.

It's 10 years after the last film ended and Caesar is now a weary leader and firmly-rooted family man with a wife, a teenage son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) and a new baby. Who gets credit for Caesar's deep, troubled eyes, Serkis or the effects

restore power for a colony of human survivors, a group (Jason Clarke, Keri Russell) stumbles upon the monkeys' Muir Woods home in the Redwoods outside San Francisco. The encounter sets off panic on both sides, as the firebrands in each community — the ape Koba, played

by Toby Kebbell, and his human corollary, Gary Oldman — urge their species toward battle.

To a surprising degree, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" belongs to the monkeys. In the uncommonly sure-handed fusion of computer-generated and live-action images, apes are the more fully realized, expressive characters.

Given that the apes communicate in sign language and spurts of English, this may be the biggest summer movie with so many subtitles.

Whereas Pierre Boulle's original "Planet of the Apes" was satirical, Reeves and screenwriters Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver and Mark Bomback have given this "Apes" the grandly gloomy "Dark Knight" treatment, complete with an exceptional score by Michael Giacchino.

The movie feeds off a sense that, given the state of the planet, a reordering of the animal kingdom may be due. There's a pervasive jealousy to the primates in "Apes": their

comfort in nature and simplicity of life. Audiences, in fact, will cheer the animals over the humans.

And few will miss the gun control argument shallowly buried throughout the film. What would Charlton Heston have made of that?

But there's also a question of putting too much gravity on an essentially absurd story. Eventually we have screaming monkeys on horseback firing automatic weapons amid roaring flames. One is tempted to lean forward and whisper, "'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,' your camp is showing."

It's gotten to be a very familiar ploy in Hollywood to remake previously light, cheesy entertainments with well-crafted, heavy grandiosity. So if there's a failing of "Apes," it's that it feels like yet another manufactured franchise. Talented people like Reeves and Serkis are brought in like HGTV fixer-uppers to restore mossy pop-culture properties.

But, alas, they're very good at it.

"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," a 20th Century Fox release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and brief strong language." Running time: 130 minutes. Three stars out of four.

The Gaza conundrum: To invade or not to invade Marwan Bishara | Al Jazeera

Why the escalation in Gaza now? he pretexts for any war or violence can be seen in two ways: explicit short-term justifications, and implicit longer-term explanations. The recent escalation over Gaza can be seen within this framework as follows: First, there are the immediate factors that are publically pronounced but strategically less significant. The usual examples cited: "We're acting in self-defence"; "protecting our citizens"; "they've started it first"; "no other government would accept that rockets rain down on its people." So far, Israel has done a far better job than the Palestinians making a case for war even when it's the occupying power. This is reinforced by the ABCtype western news media, that shows Israel defending itself against the aggression of the besieged Palestinians, even when the evidence or images tell otherwise.

The long term, less conspicuous but strategically significant goals include: improving one's own strategic deterrence; weakening the enemy's military bombast; breaking out of diplomatic isolation; and reaching a more conducive ceasefire of political arrangement.

Considering that war is all too often the continuation of politics or diplomacy by other means, it's rather expected that force would be used to accomplish what diplomacy fails to achieve. War fills the political void resulting from a deadlocked diplomatic process, otherwise still known as the "Peace Process" in Western newspeak.

All parties involved in the current escalation should know from the experience of the 2008 and 2012 wars, that the ongoing assault would lead to more of the same paralysis. And yet Benjamin Netanyahu and his Israeli coalition government believe military grandstanding could produce more favourable, albeit temporary, arrangements.

But what could Israel or the Palestinians possibly achieve by such senseless violence?

The Netanyahu government probably believes it has the most to gain for a number of reasons: For one, Israel hopes the assault will marginalise the Palestinian national unity government between Fa-

T

tah and Hamas which, to Netanyahu's irritation, received the green light from Israel's western backers.

Secondly, the assault helps Netanyahu maintain his coalition government. Its most extreme wing seeks to act aggressively in the occupied territories in order to expand the illegal settlements and punish Mahmoud Abbas for daring to choose the UN recognition and national unity with Hamas.

Third, the assault could help Israel break out of its diplomatic isolation after the US - its foremost international backer - blamed Israel equally if not more than the PLO for ruining the chances to reach an interim framework agreement. Now that the assault is under way, the Obama administration is stressing Israel's "right to defend itself" and is likely to come back to help bring about a ceasefire.

Lastly, Netanyahu believes the regional landscape, especially in Egypt, provides an opportunity for an attack.

President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's repression of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose offshoot Hamas operates in Palestine, provides Israel with a strategic opportunity to weaken this Islamist movement.

The Israeli prime minister sees the Egyptian president as a strategic ally in the so-called "war on terror" and calculates that Sisi is happy to see the Muslim Brotherhood weakened anywhere in the region, no less in next door in the Gaza Strip.

As for the Palestinians, the situation is dire and escalation costly, even for the many in Gaza, for whom it couldn't get much worse.

However, if Hamas and the other factions endure, and Israel is unable to achieve its military objectives, the movement could see improvement in its rather poor standing among the Palestinians and in the region.

Its capacity to produce and shoot short and long range rockets that reach Israel's main cities has already shocked and confused the Israeli military.

Secondly, a US-sponsored, Egyptmediated ceasefire is expected to result from any standoff, which could potentially benefit Hamas and force Israel to fulfill the largely unfulfilled commitments it made during previous ceasefires and prisoner exchange agreements, or at least force it to make new commitments.

Alan Connor, the British media personality, wrote a book released this week called, The Crossword Century: 100 Years of Witty Wordplay, Ingenious Puzzles, and Linguistic Mischief, tracing the history of crosswords and their cultural significance. Despite being a British

Third, Hamas calculates it could potentially benefit from direct Egyptian mediation by calming the tensions with the Sisi regime and reducing its hostility towards the movement, such as by lifting the siege on Gaza and opening of the crossings with Egypt.

And finally, Abbas is bound to lose if the escalation continues to spiral and lead to another popular uprising.

He is vehemently opposed to a third Intifada and considers the security arrangements with Israel indispensable because of the stability it provides for his regime and country. However, if the confrontations end quickly, the US will once again try to pump him up as the only alternative to the senseless violence.

What future then for Israel Palestine? Will there be an invasion in Gaza?

While the escalation (and its ramifications) might help Israeli and Palestinian leaders deflect criticism for failing to achieve peace or security to their people, it ultimately won't advance the cause of peace and security any bit.

That's why Israeli government's approval of calling up of 40,000 reservist troops is worrisome. It's costly for the Israeli economy and society and further escalates the conflict. But it remains to be seen whether the stakes are politically nudging the US and Egypt to intervene diplomatically on Israel's behalf- or military.

It's not clear what Israel's military objectives are if it invades. Former PM Ariel Sharon withdrew unilater-

invention—compared to the Beatles as one of the country's most valuable exports—Connor argues the crossword is distinctly American. The puzzles themselves are distinct from one another, depending which country you're in.

In the flapper era, crosswords inspired chic blackand-white clothes, Broadway revues, even church sermons.

Their prevalence made crosswords the rock 'n roll of the 1920s—they were ubiquitous, either revered or reviled depending on whom you asked, with a 1924 London Times article gravely declaring the state of "An Enslaved America:" America was obsessed.

And this obsession drove the newspaper industry to adopt the crossword as a mainstay

t was a long journey in the bus, from my college to my place in Dimapur. It had been a long time since I had seen my home, and I was happy to be finally going back home after a long time.

I reached my house with a hired autorickshaw, and made my way towards the front door.

It was open.

I went in, all the while calling out, “Mom! Mom!” But then, a familiar face appeared out of a door and greeted me.

It was our maidservant, Ringu.

She took my bags and proceeded to my room, and informed me that my mom had gone out to do some errands.

I entered my room. It was exactly the way I had left it before going to college.

I lay down on the bed, exhausted.

After a while, our maidservant, Ringu asked me if I would fancy a cup of tea; and I responded with an enthusiastic “Yes!” I rested for a while, and then went to the kitchen. On the table were tea and biscuits laid down on a tray by the maidservant.

I called her to inquire about the day’s newspaper, but could not find her.

“Oh, well”, I thought, and shrugged, and

Govt Departments should not play with People’s Lives ally from Gaza because Israel wanted to separate for good from the oldest, most populated and impoverished refugee camp in the region, indeed the world. An all-out invasion and occupation of Gaza would be too costly and too stupid.

However, judging from its history in Lebanon and Gaza, the Israeli leadership is more than capable of carrying out such follies. Israel might also try tactical incursions, which also proved futile in the past.

Meanwhile, the escalation is causing more tension and violence, which in turn is bound to deepen hostilities and push peace further into the distance. The latter begins only with lifting the Israeli siege, freeing the Palestinians, and ending the occupation of the Palestinian territories.

As long as the occupation persists, it will continue to breed violence, instability and hatred on both sides.

Considering that the entire region is in turmoil, if not falling apart, there is less will to make a regional push for real solution.

Worse yet, Israel's western backers, who should be using their leverage to nudge Israel to lessen tension, have shown mounting indifference.

This week, even UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon sounded like a State Department official.

Yes, like all states Israel does have the right to defend itself and protect its citizens. However, that right doesn't extend to protecting its occupation and defending its settlements at any cost, including to its own citizens.

found the newspaper myself and started to read it, sipping my tea with the biscuits.

And then I heard familiar sounds of my mom and sister chatting as they neared home.

They saw me and greeted me with a warm smile and we started talking about our own lives.

Then my sister jokingly asked me, “Since when have you started making tea, huh?

Learnt from your girlfriend?”

She laughed, and my mom joined in the laughter.

I rolled my eyes and answered jokingly, “No ways. My girlfriend has to be able to make tea as good as mom’s, or else I’ll remain a bachelor my whole life.”

And then I added, “Ringu’s tea seems to get better and better every time I drink it.”

The laughing of my mom and sister abruptly stopped and they turned to me with an astonished face.

I turned towards them and asked them what I had said wrong.

My mother answered, “Don’t you remember us telling you?

in its pages, making it the brainiac's game of choice— one that required mental gymnastics, luck, and determination. The crossword, though British in origin, was a naturalized American citizen.

American crossword builders have been instrumental in keeping the puzzle alive—and relevant—today.

Will Shortz, the legendary editor of The New York Times’ crossword column, has singlehandedly made crosswords sexy with pop culture references and slang that appeal to a modern audience. Shortz has famously included hiphop references in his clues, and he's keen on selecting creative interns who help keep his column fresh. But having a wildly popular, creative genius behind the world’s premier crossword isn’t changing the fact, Connor says, that fewer people than ever before are crosswording. And just because crosswords are slowly losing their crotchety clues doesn’t mean that solver demographics have changed, according to Sharp.

Sharp, for his part, is suspicious of making crosswords more accessible, saying that just putting a puzzle on a mobile device “does nothing to the overall ‘accessibility’ of the puzzle.” A print loyalist, he notes that demographics of newspaper readership dictate the content of the crossword puzzle and therefore, what segment of the population is interested in it.

But apps are the future of crosswords, and puzzle aficionados realize this. Something, however, gets muddled in using a tablet versus newsprint, and puzzlers worry about the loss of the ink-onpaper experience.

The New York Times is arguably the leading crossword in the puzzling world— and those who seek it out are still, largely, gravitating toward paper. The Times has

also ventured into the world of digital solving, but don’t think this means the newspaper has figured it all out: Even its venerable post as a crossword doyen hasn't translated paper success to the digital world, as it proved last month when users "revolted" over the 2.0 launch of a widely despised crossword app.

Search for a crossword app and the number one result is “Crosswords Classic,” a product of Stand Alone, Inc. Crosswords Classic acts as an aggregator of newspaper crosswords, from high-brow publications to lesser known, popularly accessible puzzles such as Australia's The Stickler Weekly and Glutton for Pun. It’s the best-rated app of its kind in the iTunes Store and even boasts admiration from—surprise!—The New York Times, which has acknowledged it as the “…definitive source for puzzles for iOS.” While crossword puzzles may be associated with the elderly, the lonely, and/or the mad genius type, Connor argues that solving one is, in fact, a social activity—solvers often reach out to family members and friends to get context for clues. Both Connor and Sharp lament the potential death of crosswording, with Connor going so far as to worry whether baby boomers might be the last crosswording generation: "As the older solvers die, how will the new potential solvers discover the pleasure of puzzling?"

Then again, the future of puzzling may be as fluid as the form itself. "Abstract puzzles like sudoku tend to be the same thing every time, but crossword constructors have all of language as their toolkit," Connor notes.

"The puzzles, like the English language, are constantly refreshed, with TWERK and BOEHNER enriching the lexicon just as LINDY HOP and GILLETT did before them."

An inspiring story of a young 23 yrs old girl name Ilona Assumi. 10yrs ago this family was struck by tragedy where my uncle breathed his last after a stroke. He pre-deceased his little girl,her mom and a son. This little girl grew up without a father, and so she developed a strong attachment with her mother.

To me this young girl is truly the epitome of Love, Sacrifice & Bravery. A perfect example of a real life hero. It all began in the early month of January 2014, when my aunty went for regular medical check up and was diagnosed with kidney failure, This news took us by complete surprise and we listened in awe as the Doctor continues to explain the severity of her condition and concluded that immediate transplantation of the kidney is her only hope for survival. Everyone was stunned and confused.

For a minute world seem to have come to the end Then to my utter surprise my young cousin sister came up with a bold decision and announced her willingness to donate her kidney to save her mother, which her mother flatly turned down but the family members sat down to discuss if her daughter's proposal actually makes sense, and after great deal of deliberation and finding no other option hen family members finally greed upon the proposal suggested by this girl. Which compelled my aunty also to accept the idea in the end though reluctantly. My aunty is a dedicated Christian and she has served her church in different capacity her entire life. And by the grace of our almighty God all the necessary medical tests and checkups needed doing on both the patient and donor went flawlessly well and without any hitch but the most frustrating moment of the story is yet to come. It is all about insensitive and cold attitude of the department concerned. It is so frustrating to even talk about it. Since the Approval certificate from the state govt for both the patient and the donor is a must produce and without which the outside doctors can't begin the surgery, So after cancelling our previous surgery date with new date. Its already more then one month that we submitted the application to the concern department, with all the papers needed for approval but these papers are still lying undisturbed in the office and the most ridiculous and pathetic answer I got from the department is that "the head of the department is out on his summer holiday so we must wait for his return.

Inorder to get the approval Now my question to the department is don't they have any alternatives to counter such problems?

Incase the patient unfortunately breaths her last while waiting for your officer in charge to comeback from his summer holiday then are you willing to bear the full responsibility?? Or is this officer incharge so powerful that he can extend the life of a patient?? Is it not ambarassing to even give outside doctors such a silly excuse behind the delaying of the order? Our officers must not only utilise their talents of olympic stature in swindling public funds and staking money in his bank accounts but they must also show the sensitivity to the problems faced by general public on daily basis. Remember! For my aunt every single day is a struggle for survival. And the passage of every minute is a countdown of her life. Since this is no lonely case the department officers must try and find some alternative solutions to counter the problem in the future. they must show more sensitivity towards the pains and struggle suffered by general public everyday. Just because of your delaying tactics if my aunt faces her end then will the department and officer's in charge take the full responsibility? You maybe the boss of the department but for the educated class of the outside states you are laughing stock. Therefore, My request to each and everyone reading this post is kindly pray for my aunt and her brave daughter for the success of this surgery. We value the power of your prayer and the miracles your prayers can bring. GOD BLESS Everyone in Distress.

Holy Fake Certificates

Vihokhu Zhimo: I would like you to critique a corruption of the highest form practiced by the Nagas. Many young people are entering Bible colleges with fake matric passed certificates. The saddest part is that some Bible Colleges are accepting fake documents without any verification. Secondly some Church leaders are giving recommendation letters to people with fake documents. Can you imagine laying a fake foundation to serve the most Holy God? The religious arena has become more corrupted than the secular world. Now it is high time for all of us to put a stop to this evil practice. I kindly request the church leaders and leaders of Associations to strictly verify documents before appointment to ministry and also Bible colleges and institutions to examine the documents carefully before admission.

Myra Ben: Somewhere we have allowed theological studies to take the place of God and lots of high expectations was placed on the subject theology itself and the Naga mentality was if at least there is one theologian in the family then God's wrath might not come upon them that’s why many were sent to study theology against their wish and the other idea to study theology was to get foreign Sponsors and funds so these were some of the wrong thinking existed in the society and when it comes to degree any matriculate could get admission to study theology but now I think even PU degree is not sufficient the least should be a graduate comparing to the advancement of the world. It is sad but we still have senior pastors and leaders in church in a position without proper education and degree so we can’t expect much from them. And one thing to remember the call to serve God is different from studying theology. Theological education cannot equate secular education.

The church is nothing but a bigger picture of what God's family is all about and in a family we have disagreements we fail we also have success but family sticks together and help and support one another and show grace and exercise forgiveness and speaks truth in love but today church has become all about doctrines and if we don’t agree we leave if church leaders don’t agree than there is a split but if we can see it as a family model we will not be back biting and gossiping but will be functioning as a family.

India asks UN group to vacate rent-free office

NEW DELHI, JuLy 11 (AP): India’s new Hindu nationalist government has asked a U.N. body overseeing military activity in divided Kashmir to vacate a government bungalow in the heart of the nation’s capital that it has used rentfree for 40 years.

India and Pakistan both claim Kashmir in its entirety, and India discourages any intervention or criticism in the dispute. The

two countries fought two of their three wars since independence in 1947 over Kashmir.

A U.N. official confirmed that the U.N. Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan was asked to vacate the bungalow.

“No reason was given.

We were asked to vacate the bungalow,” Maj. Nicholas Diaz said Friday at the bungalow, which is around the corner from India’s Su-

‘Sanitation for all will bring down crimes against women’

NEW DELHI, JuLy 11 (IANS): Applauding the proposal to provide sanitation to all households by 2019, Sulabh International founder Bindeshwar Pathak Friday said the step would bring down sexual crimes against women in the country. Arguing that sexual assaults often took place because women are forced to answer the call of nature in the open, Pathak cited the horrific gang rape and murder of two sisters in Uttar Pradesh’s Badaun village who were abducted when they went to relieve themselves in the open.

“By giving such importance to the issue of toilets, the government will also succeed in tackling womenrelated crimes and sexual assaults which they face for want of toilets in rural areas,” Pathak said in a statement.

“This is the first time when government has shown its intention to solve the problem of open defecation in the country,” he added. Giving “utmost importance” to sanitation, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Friday said that the government intended to cover every household under the ‘Swatchh Bharat Abhiyan’ by 2019.

preme Court in a coveted part of central Delhi.

A foreign ministry spokesman said the move was in line with efforts to rationalize the U.N. body’s presence in India.

The decision was “consistent with India’s longstanding view that UNMOGIP has outlived its relevance,” said Syed Akbaruddin, external affairs ministry spokesman.

India maintains that

the U.N. agency had no role to play after India and Pakistan signed a landmark agreement in 1972 on finding a bilateral solution to their dispute over Kashmir.

Diaz said a U.N. Security Council resolution calls for the body to monitor and observe the border and report violations of a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan.

India has never been comfortable with the pres-

ence of the U.N. body overseeing its borders and has often said that no third party can have a role in resolving the dispute over Kashmir.

“We have at best tolerated them because this is one of those byproducts of history,” said Hardeep Singh Puri, a former permanent representative of India to the U.N. “This was an issue of rationalizing. I don’t know who had given them this largesse of free accommodation. They were not even paying normal rent for it, let alone market rent,” he said.

The U.N. group also has an office in Srinagar, the main city in India’s portion of Kashmir, which would continue as it is often the venue for protests by Kashmir separatist groups and human rights activists, officials said.

In Srinagar, nearly 100 activists of the pro-independence Jammu-Kashmir Liberation Front group protested Friday against the government’s decision ordering the U.N. agency to vacate the building.

The protesters chanted slogans such as “Go India, go back” and “We want freedom,” as they tried to march to Srinagar’s the city center. They were later dispersed by police.

Diaz said the U.N. ob-

server group would continue its operations in keeping with its original mandate and has started looking for new office space to rent.

Pakistan’s foreign ministry spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said asking the U.N. observers to move out was “inconsequential” with regard to Kashmir’s status.

“As long as the Kashmir dispute is not resolved, the U.N. Security Council mandate remains. These measures are inconsequential and they do not have any impact on the legal status of the dispute,” Aslam told reporters in Islamabad.

The group also has offices in Islamabad and Muzaffarabad, the main city in the Pakistan-controlled portion of Kashmir.

Relations between India and Pakistan were frozen after an attack on Mumbai in 2008 in which Pakistani terrorists killed 166 people. A mild thaw since then has helped trade and people-to-people links, but the Kashmir dispute is far from resolution.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a tough line in his election campaign on Pakistan’s role in sponsoring terror attacks in India. He softened his stand somewhat and invited Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to India for his inaugural.

India building world’s highest railway bridge in Himalayas KAuRI, JuLy 11 (AFP): Indian engineers are toiling in the Himalayas to build the world’s highest railway bridge which is expected to be 35 metres taller than the Eiffel Tower when completed by 2016. The arch-shaped steel structure is being constructed over the Chenab river to link sections of the spectacular mountainous region of Jammu and Kashmir. The bridge is expected to be 359 metres(1,177feet)highwhen completed — surpassing the world’s current tallest railway bridge over the Beipanjiang river in China’s Guizhou province, which stands at 275 metres high.

“It is an engineering marvel. We hope to get this bridge ready by December 2016,” a senior Indian railways official told AFP. “The design would ensure that it withstands seismic activities and high wind speeds,” he said on Wednesday.

Work on the bridge started in 2002 but safety and feasibility concerns, including the area’s strong

winds, saw the project halted in 2008 before being green-lighted again two years later. The estimated cost of the project, which is being handled by Konkan railway corporation, a subsidiary of state-owned Indian railways, is $92 million. The bridge will connect Baramulla to Jammu with a travel time of six-and-a-half hours, almost half the time it currently takes. The main arch is being erected using two cable cranes attached on either side of the river which are secured on enormous steel pylons, according to engineers of the project. The 1,315-metre long bridge will use up to 25,000 tonnes of steel with some material being transported by helicopters due to the tough terrain, they said.

“One of the biggest challenges involved was constructing the bridge without obstructing the flow of the river,” the railways official said.

India village council accused of ordering rape NEW DELHI, JuLy 11 (AP): A 14-year-old girl was dragged into a forest and raped on the orders of a village council in remote eastern India in retaliation for a sex assault blamed on her brother, her family and police said Friday. Jitendra Singh, a top local police official, said two men have been arrested in the rape case. They include the village headman and the main suspect, identified as the husband of the woman who was allegedly molested by the victim’s brother.

The victim’s brother has also been arrested on

charges of molestation.

The girl’s mother told CNNIBN news channel that she pleaded with the council and other villagers when they ordered the rape but no one listened. “We kept begging them. We begged with folded hands but they would not listen. They dragged her away to the forest,” she said. The attack took place after midnight on Sunday in a small village in Jharkhand state’s Bokaro district. “They attacked her in retaliation and we are taking this case very seriously,” Singh said, adding that police expect to com-

plete the investigation and file charges in the next few days.

Across much of rural India, deeply conservative local councils wield great power. They can pass decrees on any subject they choose — from how women should dress to whether young lovers deserve to live or die. They usually enforce strict social norms about marriage and gender roles.

In January, a council of elders in West Bengal state had ordered the gang rape of a 20-year-old woman as punishment for falling in love with the man from a

different community.

The village councils are often the only practical means of delivering justice in areas where local governments are either too far away or too ineffective to settle disputes. Their power is often derived from the fact that they can order that villagers be ostracized for ignoring their decrees. In some of the most extreme cases, the councils have sanctioned so-called honor killings, usually against men and women suspected of out-of-wedlock sex or marrying outside the community.

Modi to meet Obama in September

NEW DELHI, JuLy 11 (PTI): Extending a formal invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a visit to the US, President Barack Obama has expressed keenness to work closely with him to make the bilateral relations a “defining partnership” in the 21st century.

Thanking Obama for the invitation, Modi said he looks forward to a resultoriented visit in September

with “concrete outcomes” that impart “new momentum and energy” to the strategic partnership.

Obama’s letter of invitation was handed over to Modi by deputy secretary of state William Burns when he called on him here.

In his letter, Obama reiterated his invitation to Modi to visit Washington in September and to work closely with him to make India-US relations a “de-

fining partnership” for the 21st century, a PMO statement said on Friday.

While receiving the letter, Modi said he looked forward to a “result-oriented visit with concrete outcomes that impart new momentum and energy to India-US strategic partnership”, the statement said.

The Prime Minister was of the view that re-energising the partnership between India and the US

would send an important message to the region and beyond.

Articulating his vision for India-US relations, Modi said that the relationship between the world’s oldest and largest democracies should not only be for the benefit of the two countries, but “should emerge as a powerful force of good for peace, stability and prosperity in the world”.

uNITED NATIONS, JuLy 11 (PTI): Delhi has become the world’s second most populous city in 2014 after Tokyo, more than doubling its population since 1990 to 25 million, according to a UN report.

The 2014 revision of the World Urbanisation Prospects launched on Thursday said that India is projected to add the highest number of people to its

urban population by 2050, ahead of China. The Indian capital is expected to retain the spot of the world’s second most populous city through at least 2030, when its population is expected to rise swiftly to 36 million.

Tokyo topped UN’s ranking of the most populous cities in 2014 with 38 million inhabitants and while its population is projected to decline, it will re-

main the world’s largest city in 2030 with 37 million people. Mumbai, which ranks sixth on the list of the world’s most populous cities in 2014, is projected to become the fourth largest city in 2030 when its population would grow to 28 million from the current 21 million.

Tokyo and New Delhi were followed by Shanghai with 23 million, and Mexi-

co City, Mumbai and Sao Paulo, each with around 21 million inhabitants in 2014.

The report said that the largest urban growth will take place in India, China and Nigeria between 2014 and 2050, with the three countries accounting for 37 per cent of the projected growth of the world’s urban population.

By 2050, India is projected to add 404 million urban dwellers, way more than China’s projection of 292 million. Nigeria will add 212 million to its urban population. India’s current urban population is 410 million people and this will grow to 814 million by 2050. China currently has the largest urban population of 758 million. India and China account for 30 per cent of the world’s urban population.

The two Asian giants along with the United States, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan and Russia currently

account for more than half of the world’s urban population. About 54 per cent of the world’s population currently lives in urban areas and this proportion is expected to increase to 66 per cent by 2050, with the maximum increase taking place in the urban areas of Africa and Asia. The world’s urban population is now close to 3.9 billion and is expected to reach 6.3 billion in 2050, according to the UN report.

The rural population of the world has grown slowly since 1950 and is expected to reach its peak in a few years. Approximately 3.4 billion people currently live in rural areas around the world. However, sometime after 2020, the world’s rural population will start to decline and is expected to reach 3. 2 billion in 2050.

India currently has the largest rural population at 857 million, followed by China (635 million).

As LeBron James decides, Neymar wants Messi to beat Germany Miami and Cleveland wait also forged them in Miami.

PROVEN WINNERS: Instead of potential, the Heat are proven champions. James has been to four straight NBA Finals with Miami, winning two championships. They have made good on the promise Pat Riley made to James four years ago: Come to Miami, be part of something special, and compete for titles every year.

COACHING STAFF: There hasn't been turnover in Miami's coaching staff and front office since James joined the Heat. He's played for just one coach, Erik Spoelstra, and Riley has championship pedigree.

FILE - In this June 17, 2014 file photo, Miami Heat's LeBron James gestures as he answers a question during a news conference in Miami. A person familiar with the situation tells The OWNER: Unlike the situation Associated Press that James has decided to opt out of the final two years of his contract with the Heat and become a free agent on July 1. Opting out does not mean James has decided to with Gilbert, there's no leave the Heat, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because neither the rancor with Heat owner four-time NBA MVP nor the team had made any public announcement.

W

hen it comes to LeBron James, all that's certain is this: One fan base is about to feel scorned, and another is about to feel absolute joy.

Miami or Cleveland?

The same choice he faced four years ago is the one facing the four-time NBA MVP now. He became a champion in Miami. He still calls Ohio home. It's obviously not an easy decision, and the ramifications of what he's about to say — it's still unclear when any announcement will be coming, but it's more than likely sooner than later — will have a massive impact on the Heat and the Cavaliers.

For the Heat, keeping James is likely the only way they can stay a championship-contending team for a fifth straight season. If he stays, it would seem likely that Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh would re-sign with Miami as well, keeping the "Big 3" that has played in each of the last four NBA Finals intact for at least another season. For the Cavaliers, it's a chance to welcome home the player who fans — and the team's owner, Dan Gilbert — directed so much scorn toward when he left in 2010.

In Las Vegas on Thurs-

day, James again appeared at his skills academy for the nation's top high school and college players, scrimmaging and then watching games in the afternoon with some friends, including Wade. Meanwhile, in Bath Township, Ohio, cars lined the streets near James' mansion in anticipation of an announcement. People posed for photographs and TV news crews did remote reports from the driveway of his offseason home.

As he makes his choice, here's some of things he may be considering about returning to Cleveland: OHIO IS HOME: Akron has always held a special place in James' heart and he's remained loyal to the area. He's maintained his offseason home just south of Cleveland and spends summers there.

BUSINESS HEADQUARTERS: Northeast Ohio is where James and his close friends grew up. He has business interests in the Cleveland area. He and his LRMR agency recently signed popular college quarterback Johnny Manziel to a marketing deal.

Manziel now plays for the NFL's Browns.

YOUNG ROSTER: Although the Cavaliers haven't made the playoffs since he left, they can offer

James a young roster filled with potential and promise. They're led by All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, who recently agreed to sign a five-year contract extension, and the Cavs also have two other No. 1 overall draft picks in Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins.

Micky Arison. The Heat have preached a family approach to everything, even allowing members of James' inner circle access to the locker room and other team areas — no minor thing within the framework of the Heat culture.

BIG 3: James came to Miami in large part to play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, both of whom also are free agents. It's hard to envision Bosh staying if James leaves. It's easy to see both Wade and Bosh recommitting instantly, if James decides to stay in Miami.

COACHING STAFF: Cleveland's coaching situation could be a concern. The Cavs are on their third coach since James left and the team recently hired David Blatt, an international icon but someone who has not coached in the U.S. before. The Cavs did hire wellrespected assistant Tyronn MIAMI INVESTMENTS: His wife has a juice bar Lue, who has a strong relain the Brickell neighbortionship with James. hood of Miami and James is said to be investing in a CAVS ASSETS: The Cavs also have as- chain of pizza restaurants, sets they could trade to among other investments. bring another elite player It's not lifelong ties like the to Cleveland, and have had ones in Ohio, but ties to preliminary talks with Min- South Florida nonetheless. nesota about a deal for forIt's easy to see why James ward Kevin Love. is torn.

TERESOPOLIS, JULY 11 (AFP): Brazilian superstar Neymar said on Thursday he wants teammate Lionel Messi to lead Argentina to victory in the World Cup final against Germany. At an emotional press conference, Neymar broke down in tears as he relived the challenge which broke a vertebrae in his back and left him fearing he would be paralysed.

With Brazil's dream of winning a sixth World Cup decimated by their 7-1 hammering by Germany, Neymar said he wants Barcelona teammate Messi to claim the trophy on Sunday against the Germans.

"Messi's history in the sport is so important, he has won a lot of trophies and I will be cheering for him," Neymar told a press conference.

"He is a friend, he is my teammate and I wish him luck." Neymar was ruled out of the World Cup in a rugged challenge by Colombia defender Juan Camilo Zuniga in Brazil's 2-1 quarterfinal win.

The 22-year-old wiped away tears as he described his fears immediately after the knee in the back that he would be paralysed. "I was blessed in that situation because it wasn't more seri-

ous. Two more centimetres up and, well, I could be in a wheelchair. So it is really difficult. "It happened at such an important point in my career," he said. "It was something I cannot accept.

That challenge and what happened was unacceptable," he added.

"I would not say there was malice because I can't speak for him, but everyone who understands football knows that challenge was not normal.

"When someone comes from behind I can't do anything about it. I did not have any control and I ended up being hurt."

Fifa decided not to take action against Zuniga for the challenge that will keep Neymar out of action for up to six weeks. Neymar, though, insisted he held no bad feelings towards Zuniga after the Napoli defender called to apologise to him.

"Of course I would forgive him. I do not feel any anger,

he even called me the next day to apologise. He said he didn't mean to hurt me and apologise." Neymar returned to Brazil's training camp in Teresopolis for the first time since the incident on Thursday in a bid to lift his teammates' spirits after their humiliation at the hands of Germany. "It is not a pleasant situation, but it is good just to be back here so I can see my friends and I told them we stared together so we should finish this together regardless of the result."

And, despite not being able to take part himself, he urged the rest of the Brazil squad to at least salvage some pride against the Netherlands in their thirdplace playoff on Saturday.

"What matters is that we are united and we are going to finish this with honour on Saturday," he said. "We had the chance to be champion in our country and we failed. We didn't get it right, we fell short. We know we had a good campaign, but we did not play our best.

"We did not show how good Brazilian football is, its superiority and charm, but we have to look at this last match as if it were the final. "Victory won't assimilate all the pain we feel today, but it is important."

Latin Americans reluctantly rally behind Argentina

BOGOTA, JULY 11 (AP): With a reputation for arrogance and illusions of European-styled grandeur, Argentines have long been the objects of scorn and the butt of jokes across Latin America But for at least 90 minutes on Sunday, when Argentina takes on Germany in the World Cup final, most Latin Americans will put aside their disdain

for their proud neighbors as they look to Lionel Messi and his teammates to salvage what's left of the region's soccer pride.

A defeat for Argentina would be historic: Never has a European team been crowned champion on this side of the Atlantic. But in the wake of Germany's 7-1 thrashing of host Brazil even the most-devoted be-

lievers in the spontaneous and stylish Latin American brand of soccer are wondering if the region is outmatched.

"My heart wants Argentina to win, but my brain says Germany will," confessed Alberto Ramos Salcedo, a Colombian journalist and author who frequently writes about soccer. That Argentina has

India to send 224 athletes in Glasgow Commonwealth Games

NEW DELHI, JULY 11 (PTI): India will field a strong 224 member contingent, it's second largest ever, in the Glasgow Commonwealth Games to be held from July 23 to August 3, with athletics forming the biggest squad of 41. The sports ministry has cleared the 224 athletes from 14 sporting disciplines, including seven para-athletes, at government cost, along with a contingent of 90 officials, coaches and support staff.

The Glasgow Games will have 17 sports and 261 medal events and India will not be fielding athletes only in three disciplines -- netball, rugby sevens and triathlon.

The para-athletes will complete separately in a record 22 events in five different sports (athletics, cycling, lawn bowls, swimming and weightlifting).

2010 Delhi GWG had 21 sports and 271 medal events and India had fielded 495 athletes, the country's largest ever participation. India had won a record 101 medals ( 38 gold, 27 silver, 36 bronze) and had finished second behind Australia. After the track and field athletes, who are expected to win between eight-10 medals, hockey players make the second largest contingent with 32 (16 men and 16 women players).

Shooters, who are expected to win a major chunk of medals, form the third largest contingent with 30 marksmen.

Archery and tennis, which contributed a chunk of medals for India in 2010 Delhi CWG, have been removed from the Glasgow Games. In wrestling, Greco-Roman section will no longer be there in Glasgow and shooting

medal events will also be dropped from 44 in 2010 to 19 in Glasgow.

Despite the reduction in medal events, Indian Olympic Association secretary general Rajeev Mehta said he was confident of winning more or less the same number of medals in Glasgow.

"I feel we will win more or less the same number of medals," he said after signing a sponsorship deal worth Rs one crore with leading dairy product brand Amul. The programme was attended

by Indian hockey team members, including captain Sardar Singh and P R Sreejesh, and Glasgowbound wrestlers.

IOA treasurer Anil Khanna said the entire amount of Rs one crore will be spent on the CWGbound athletes. The budget, which was presented to the Lok Sabha

on Thursday, allocated a amount of Rs 100 crore for sports and Mehta welcomed the government for the additional sum.

"The IOA welcomes the allocation of additional sum of Rs 100 crore. We had wanted Rs 400 crore from the government but this amount (of Rs 100 crore) is still good. It will at least help in the preparation of Indian athletes for the Asian Games," he said.

Asked about the 2019 Asian Games bid which failed to get government's support, Mehta said, "Time was short for both the IOA and sports ministry. There is no point blaming anybody.

We tried our best and the sports ministry tried their best but the bid did not happen because of lack of time.

"The IOA will try to host these multi-sport-

ing events later in future again," he added.

Among some of the big names who are taking part in the Glasgow Commonwealth Games are Sushil Kumar and Yogeshwar Dutt (wrestling), Abhinav Bindra, Vijay Kumar, Gagan Narang and Manavjit Sandhu (shooting), Vikas Gowda, Krishna Poonia and Tintu Luka (athletics), Saina Nehwal and Jwala Gutta (badminton), Vijender Singh, Shiv Thapa and Pinki Rani (boxing), Ashish Kumar (gymnastics), Deborah (cycling), Saurav Ghosal, Dipika Pallikal and Joshna Chinappa (squash) and K Ravi Kumar (weightlifting).

More than 6,500 athletes and officials from 71 nations and territories will compete in 17 sports over 11 days in the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

an culture abroad – has boosted the country’s tourism sector. Inbound arrivals jumped 9.3 percent on year to a record 12.2 million visitors in 2013, statistics from the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) show. The KTO has noted an increase in queries related to the drama from tourists and trade partners since the drama ended its run in February, a Singapore-based representative told CNBC. The show’s filming locations have received a surge in interest from Chinese holidaymakers, according to South Korean media, perhaps not surprising considering that the drama chalked up over 2.5 billion views in the mainland.

One favored destination is Petite France, a theme park in Gapyeong that is two hours from Seoul by sub-

way. Daily arrivals at the park, where the fictional couple kissed, have increased nearly seven-fold, with mainland tourists accounting for 60 percent of the rise, according to Korea.net.

The meteoric success of “My love from the Star” has also spawned a spill-over effect in the retail industry – a feat that iconic series like 2002’s “Winter Sonata” and 2003’s “Jewel in the Palace” did not accomplish. The luxury brands that Jun wears throughout the series have become highly sought after by fans.

Meanwhile, lipsticks used in the show – be it Yves Saint Laurent or Korean brand Laneige – have sold out in South Korea, China and Singapore. In China, Jimmy Choo’s “Abel” silver heels flew off the racks after appearing in the second episode, the Beijing Youth Daily reported. U.S. luggage manufacturer Samsonite also saw sales spike in China after the lead actor, Kim, carried one of its backpacks.

The ripple effect has since scored Kim an endorsement deal with Samsonite.

The soap sensation also sparked a craze for “chimaek” – a portmanteau for chicken and beer in Korean – in Asia given the lead character’s constant craving for the Korean delicious past time. In Singapore, Korean fried chicken restaurant Kko Kko Nara said takeout orders have increased nearly 20 percent since the series aired.

Some fans are willing to go the distance for the real deal. Singaporean Heather Chua will travel to South Korea in July.

Miss Dimapur 2014 on Jul y 25

J

uly is set to get hotter in Nagaland’s commercial hub, and it will be because of the warmth exuded by beautiful hearts for a better society. More than external appeal – the requisite of any beauty contest – the focus of Miss Dimapur 2014 scheduled on July 25 is on inner prettiness and traditional splendour. Aptly, the theme is ‘Culture, Couture and Moral Ethics’.

Ethnic Group of Nagaland (EGoN) is organising the event at Acacia Conference Hall. It will be followed by the official Queens Ball at the Banquet Hall. “Nagaland requires a strong-willed youth force to hold the reins of the future. Because of its power to attract the youth, a beauty pageant is the right forum to discuss ethics that embellish the tribal way of life,” said EGoN chief patron Nuklutoshi, who is Minister for Soil and Water Conservation, National Highways and Mechanical Engineering.

“There couldn’t have been a better theme for Miss Dimapur 2014 to spread moral awareness individually and contribute towards building a better society. The contestants, representing their communities and places of domicile as ambassadors, thus have a responsibility to lend their beauty for the ethical beautification of the world around them,” Nuklutoshi added.

According to the organisers, erosion of morality particularly among the younger people swayed by intoxicating influences and material gains, has for long been a serious concern in Nagaland. This was the reason why the contestants will engage in an

C M Y K

open discussion on the prevailing ethics and take questions from the audience. Each contestant would be required to outline how, as a woman, she would contribute towards the society.

The event is partitioned into several attractive rounds.

The Designer Round will showcase the casual designs of Alika Chishi, Fashion Designing (GDFD) Bangalore and National Institute of Fashion Designing (Delhi), along with accessories and finished products of the Nagaland Bamboo Development Agency (NBDA). Kenei Rakho, Miss Catwalk 2012 groomed by Mark Robinson, Navneet Kaur Dhillon and Miss India trainer Alicia, will spruce the contestants on the walk while well known choreographer Tozhizen Longkumer will work on the sequence. Other professionals like Moala Imchen, Allin Awomi, Nzanbeni Kithan, James Chakhesang, Kajini Kromeh and Peter Mao from Acacia Management will coordinate the event.

Also in keeping with the theme, unlike previous shows, video-shoot of the Ethnic Round will be displayed on pure ethnic traditions of the ancestors captured from the NBRC venue. mBesides well-wishers, the show is being sponsored by Nagaland Medical Dealers’ Association, World of Titan Dimapur, Ao Kitchen Family Restaurant, Flaunt Boutique, BNShost- a Bangalore based Web Hosting Company, Amonar Tea and NBDA as product partner.

The programme will also include “Sunshine Collection” for Master Omendiba, who is suffering from cardiac problem. Funds will be raised during the show for his second stage of heart surgery. Aged four years and son of Aotoshi, Omendiba underwent a surgery in 2010. He was then assisted by the Rotary Club, Dimapur.

Willow Smith: ‘My style is who I am’ W

illow Smith has revealed her style is still evolving as she’s still growing up and learning about herself. The 13-year-old star - who is the daughter of Hollywood actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith has revealed her fashion sense is influenced by her personality, which is constantly evolving as she gets older. She explained: ‘’My style is who I am all the time and who I am always changes.’’

The ‘Whip My Hair’ hitmaker also confessed that her family as a whole - which includes brothers Jaden and Trey - are fans of certain brands, including luxury jewellers Cartier. Willow referred to her mother’s gold Juste un Clou bracelet as ‘’sick’’, adding: ‘’My whole family, we love Cartier’’.

However, despite being from a superstar family, she also likes to shop in budget stores - including Target,

where she buys boots, Converse and Vans - and at flea markets, where she recently found a cheap dream-catcher necklace that is her ‘’favourite’’ recent purchase.

In addition to her distinctive style, Willow also likes to experiment with her hair, having dyed it green and pink before recently opting for a bleached blonde, and she insists it’s had no detrimental effect on her locks.

She told Teen Vogue: ‘’My hair is super, super, super, superhard to destroy. It’s a survivor.’’

Luis Suarez joins Barcelona

CATALONIA, JULY 11 (AP): Barcelona reached agreement with Liverpool on the transfer of Luis Suarez on Friday, giving the troubled striker a chance to rehabilitate his image when his latest biting ban is over. Suarez will travel to Barcelona next week for a medical and to sign a fiveyear contract.

"We would like to thank Luis for his contribution and the role he played in helping bring Champions League football back to Anfield," Liverpool said in a statement on its website.

The Uruguay international is prevented from any involvement in football until the end of October after being handed a fourmonth suspension by FIFA

for biting an Italian opponent at the World Cup in Brazil. But Barcelona had no qualms in bolstering its strike force with the footballing pariah, in the hope he can help the team regain the Spanish title.

The 27-year-old Suarez can't train with his new

Barcelona teammates under the terms of his ban for biting Giorgio Chiellini in Uruguay's group stage match against Italy.

The World Cup moment of madness came at the end of a season that began with Suarez also being banned for biting, on Chel-

sea defender Branislav Ivanovic during an April 2013 English Premier League match. Barcelona will be hoping Suarez brings his goal-scoring form to the Camp Nou — he netted 31 in the Premier League last season — rather than the hot-headed temperament.

When Suarez is eventually eligible to play again, Barcelona will be able to deploy a formidable front line also including Lionel Messi and Neymar, as the club rebuilds under new coach Luis Enrique after its first season without a major trophy in six years. Suarez's transfer marks the second successive year that the man voted English football's top player by his fellow professionals and journalists moved to Spain.

Indian pacers strike back, leave England struggling

NOTTINGhAm, JULY 11 (IANS): India pacers put on a fine display of seam bowling to leave England struggling at 205 for seven in the first innings at tea on the third day of the first cricket Test at the Trent Bridge here on Friday.

England enjoyed a good first session with Sam Robson (59) and Gary Ballance (71). But the trio of Indian pacers Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammad Shami bowled exceptionally well as the hosts lost six wickets in the post-lunch session and were reduced to 205 for seven at tea, trailing India by 252 runs.

Ishant was the pick of the Indian bowlers, bagging three for 64 while Kumar and Shami got two wickets each.

Joe Root was batting on 13 and Stuart Broad at one at the tea break.

After a fruitful first session when both Robson and Ballance got their respective half-centuries and England looked comfortable at 131 for one, the visitors suffered a batting collapse losing six wickets for 68 runs. Resuming at 43/1, Robson and Ballance scored freely on both sides of the wickets as 88 runs came up in the morning session. Indian seamers found some swing under the gloomy Nottingham sky but their wasn't much luck for their hard work.

The pair took their unbeaten stand to 122 to add some stability to the England innings after skipper Alastair Cook departed Thursday evening. Both the batsmen had hit their maiden centuries in the se-

ries loss against Sri Lanka.

Ballance was patient enough to wait for the loose deliveries. He hit seven fours and reached his 50 by cutting the ball to the boundary. Robson was lucky after he was dropped

by Ravinder Jadeja at slip on 43. But he made the most of the opportunity after he got to his half-century by cutting debutant Stuart Binny through the covers.

India, however, turned the tide in their favour soon after the break as Ishant

struck in the second over of the second session to get rid of Robson, trapped lbw.

Though hot spot revealed a faint inside edge, it was a fine piece of delivery from Ishant, who got the ball to nip back to hit on Robson's pads. Ishant also got Ballance in a similar fashion trapped lbw and also got rid of Ian Bell (25), who was clearly undone by some extra bounce. Bell wanted to pull out of the shot at the last moment but got a big edge to wicket-keeper Ma-

hendra Singh Dhoni.

S ha m i d i s m i s s e d Moeen Ali (14) in a weird fashion that left England struggling at 197/5. It was an intended bouncer from Shami that didn't rise much and Ali took his eyes off the ball and it hit his glove and lobbed to Shikhar Dhawan at slip. Kumar's double strikes in the 71st over – removing Matt Prior (5) and Ben Stokes, both caught behind by Dhoni – in three deliveries left England in a precarious condition.

LONDON, JULY 11 (AGENCIES): Arsenal have completed the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona for £35m, making him the second most expensive transfer in the club's history. Sanchez becomes the second high profile player to arrive at the Gunners from Spain following the £42.5m record acquisition of Mesut Ozil last summer, and will arrive at the club at the end of July following a post-World Cup break. The 25-yearold, who spent three seasons with the Catalan club after joining in 2011, snubbed Liverpool in order to join Arsenal while Italian champions Juventus also missed out on the Chile international.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told arsenal.com: "As many people have seen during the World Cup this summer, Alexis is a fantastic footballer and we are delighted that he is joining us at Arsenal Football Club.

"Alexis will add power, creativity and much quality to our squad and we are all looking forward to him joining up with us in a few weeks. He

has consistently produced top-quality performances at the highest level for a number of seasons now and we are all excited to see him integrate into the Arsenal squad. I’m sure all Arsenal supporters will join me in welcoming Alexis to our club."

Sanchez added: "I’m so happy to be joining Arsenal, a club which has a great manager, a fantastic squad of players, huge support around the world and a great stadium in London.

I’m looking forward to meeting my

new team-mates and to be playing for Arsenal in the Premier League and Champions League. I will give my best to Arsenal and want to make all the supporters happy." He will likely make his first appearance in red and white during the Emirates Cup which takes place on 2 and 3 August.

The forward scored 47 goals in 141 matches for Barcelona, a commendable record to say the least, but in a squad filled with the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar and the soon-tobe-signed Luis Suarez, the feeling in Catalonia is that he hasn't quite cut the grade since his 37.5m euros move from Udinese.

Arsenal's interest was believed to have come before Sanchez joined the Chile national squad at the World Cup, but his performances did his reputation no harm at all as he scored against both Australia and Brazil, as well as an assist for Jose Valdivia's goal against the Socceroos. He had to cope with the agony though of missing a crucial penalty in the shootout defeat to Brazil in the second round.
