HIGH SCHOOL LEAVING CERTIFICATE EXAMINATION 2016

List of successful candidates holding the first ten positions ( in order of merit )

Reminiscing the years of State-sponsored violence from the 1950s up to the 1990s, the long note from the NSCN (K) stated that those “tormenting nightmares” are resurfacing again with the branding of the NSCN (K) as a terror outfit, thereby indicating that the Government of India (GoI) is “determined to trample and stamp out Naga’s rights and aspira-

tion” through similar methods.

To that effect, the GoI has enacted and promulgated laws like Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, Prevention of Terrorist Activities Act, Disturbed Area Act, Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA), National Security Act etc in the Naga country “without any regard or conformity to international human rights norms, Geneva convention on the rights of Indigenous people to self determination.”

More than 50 NSCN workers, following alleged torture, are “being held in various prisons across India booked under indefinite non-bailable terrorist acts,” informed the NSCN (K). This reflects, stated the NSCN (K), “India’s continued armed aggression.”

History

The NSCN (K) recalled historical events that led to an “unending reign of terror” following the ‘arbitrary’ partition of the Naga country without the consent of the Nagas in 1953.

Through the “deceitful” Sixteen Point Agreement/Memorandum of 1960, a “tiny state” of Nagaland “comprising of only

1/3rd of total Naga population and territory was carved out as 16th state of Indian union and the rest of the Naga population and ancestral domains were further sub-divided and scattered to various Indian states thus reducing the Nagas to minorities in our own land under the domination of the majority non-Nagas ruled administrative divisions,” recalled the NSCN (K).

Pointing out the human rights violations heaped on the Naga people by Indian Armed Forces, the NSCN (K) maintained that due to complete press/media censorship, the world was never made to know of these incidents.

New age policies

The Naga “passion for freedom could never be contained,” the NSCN (K) observed and said “the Naga struggle grew from strength to strength.” It pointed out that many Indian Army generals and commanders acknowledged the issue as political requiring political solution.

However, money, alcohol and related campaigns were

poured in through “Indian politicians/administrators and Indian Army’s Military Civic Action/Army Development Group/Samaritans etc in the form of endowing small community civic facilities such as ring well, school and community halls, furniture, stationers and other minor developmental initiatives.”

The NSCK (K) observed that despite huge natural resources, no genuine industrialisation programmes and policies were ever initiated in the Naga areas.

Nagas have been made to “desperately rely on” government jobs and salaries. Not a single mass employing industries and factories have been established in Naga territories, increasing dependence on the GoI. Often, Naga political groups are blamed for these “failures and negligence,” whereas the bulk of corruption is committed by “India appointed bureaucrats and puppet state politicians.”

The NSCN (K) further alleged that after “forcing” Naga youths to desperation through the “India generated employment crisis,” these youths are

mass recruited into India Army and other central and state para-military and police to portray “pro-India stance of the Nagas.”

Besides, the “state of negligence, lack of development” coupled with lack of self-employment and jobs has forced many Naga youth to migrate to other industrialised states resulting in “huge brain drain thus depriving the Nagas of contributions from indigenous and local potentials in overall growth and development.”

Ceasefire politics

“When terror and brutality failed, treacherous politics of division was put into play firstly in the form of cease-fire and political negotiation,” the MIP noted.

“Unnecessary and intentional delay tactics” led to division and frustration among Naga political groups, policies which were applied all the way to 2015.

While “several splinter groups” continue to “bask in the comforts and pleasures of India sponsored and dictated ceasefires,” espousing settlement within the Indian Constitution, the SS Khaplang led NSCN is “upholding the inde-

pendent sovereign legacy of the Nagas” by unilaterally abrogating the 14-year “unproductive exercise” through which GoI “fully intended to effect further political capitulation,” stated the press note.

“The bold historical step taken by NSCN/GPRN should be a celebrated event to every freedom loving Naga since it reaffirms the maturity of the Naga’s struggle and reiterates that Nagas cannot be taken for granted, that no amount of political cajoling, fraud, division or militarisation can subdue the Nagas and the NSCN/ GPRN’s determination for sovereign independence,” it maintained.

At this juncture, when the “very identity and existence” of the Nagas as a “people and nation” is under threat, the NSCN (K) stated that this must be a challenge to every Naga to rise, question and resist. It further encouraged Naga people to “transcend” the present “forced territorial and administrative divisions” to conceive and uphold Naga nationality that “envisions a united Naga Nation even if it be in God’s own time.”

onies too,” Swu said.

He, however, lamented that with a meager road maintenance fund amounting to Rs 40 crore for the entire state, it is difficult to provide adequate funds so that better roads are provided to the people.

Requesting the general public to understand the situation, Swu said the department is trying its level best to provide better roads to the citizens.

He asserted that the Department would execute repair works and fill up potholes, which would be completed before this monsoon, especially in major towns of the state, including Kohima and Dimapur.

Further, Swu also stated that henceforth the department would ascertain that quality work is being executed so that those roads will not require repair for at least 3-4 years and the available funds can be put in other road projects.

MST Kohima celebrates Moatsü Mong Morung Express News Kohima | May 3

The Merangkong Senso Telonjem (MST), Kohima celebrated the Moatsü Mong on May 3 at Highland Park, near IG Stadium with Amenba Yaden, Parliamentary Secretary, Industries and Commerce as the Chief Host.

Dr. Moanungsang, President, MST Kohima in his speech stated that the times of the forefathers, Moatsü the premier festival of the Aos was celebrated with the intention of asking for the blessings of the gods in the fields that had just been sown. But with the advent of Christianity,

all celebration associated with the olden ways were considered evil which, he asserted, is the reason why a lot of young people today knows very little about our traditions and customs.

“But as we begin to open our eyes, we now realize that our cultures and traditions define us and that they are not necessarily evil. We have begun to realize that we still need to ask the Living God for his blessings on all our works.

Let us celebrate by asking Jesus Christ for his blessing,” asserted Dr. Moanungsang.

Words of encouragement were delivered by the MST Dimapur, MST

Ao community called to strive for truth Morung Express News Mokokchung | May 3

Governor of Odisha, Dr SC Jamir today challenged the Ao community to strive for truth and work for the betterment of the whole Naga people just like the forebears who spread the gospel of Christianity at the past despite many difficulties.

The veteran politician and former chief minister of Nagaland, Dr SC Jamir, who was the chief guest at the grand Moatsu festival celebration at Imkongmeren Sports Complex, Mokokchung organized

by Jangpetkong Senso Telongjem, Mokokchung Town, expressed deep apprehension over the present Naga society.

Dr Jamir said that the present Naga society is going through a dark phase just like the days of our forefathers before the advent of Christianity. In this regard, he said that with the coming of Christianity in the Ao areas, the Ao pioneers spread the gospel to the whole of the Naga areas spreading the love of God, truth and unity to the whole Naga country.

However, he strongly

Governor of Odisha, Dr SC Jamir addressing the people at the Moatsu festival at Mokokchung on May 3. (Morung Photo)

lamented that the Naga society is going through a dark phase and that the Ao people should once again spearhead just like the ‘grandparents’ who with nothing but faith, belief in truth and honesty brought so much changes in the whole Naga society some hundred years ago.

Saying that the Aos never asked or competed for leadership, Dr Jamir

however said that in the past the Aos, for the sake of the Naga society, led the people in the past. In this connection he pointed out the first NNC president T Aliba Imti, the first Naga People Convention chairman – Imkongliba and the first chief minister of Nagaland state P Shilu Ao. These leaders were mandated by the Naga people and they sacrificed so much for the

Naga people, he said.

He expressed deep grief at the present state of affairs and said that there is a lack of truth in the society simply out of fear. Dr Jamir said that different village councils (yimden), NGOs and organizations and even the church cannot speak the truth because of fear.

He expressed that the society should now think of today and the future and not to dwell too much on the past. In this connection, he expressed deep apprehension over the educated unemployment problem in the society with more than 75,000 registered educated unemployed.

He said that the problem of educated unemployment in the society would be more problematic than the issue of sovereignty and that the society should seriously think about the future of the youths. He warned that the problem of educated unemployment among the youths, if not addressed immediately, would turn out to be very dangerous to our society.

He therefore called upon the people to be more realistic, to open our eyes and ears and to think about what can be achieved and what can’t be so that the

Naga people can progress and march ahead with the rest of the world.

He called upon the Ao people to once again rededicate themselves and just like the ‘grandparents’ who brought light through Christianity, to work for the Naga society with faith, truth and honesty so that the Naga society can once again progress.

The Governor was accompanied by his son Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism C Apok Jamir and Advisor to Chief Minister, Government of Nagaland, Merentoshi R Jamir. MLA and Chairman DAN & NBRM, Dr Longri, who is the peoples’ representative from 29 Jangpetkong AC, was the guest of honor at the programme.

Hundreds of citizens from the Jangpetkong range, in-laws, well-wishers attended today’s function. Representative from the Ao Senden, AKM, Watsu Mungdang Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organization Mokokchung town, Mokokchung town Lanur Telongjem and a host of dignitaries from the district administration and police also attended the programme.

NAGALAND

Most beneficiaries not receiving food grains under PDS: ACAUT DimaPur, maY 3 (mExN): ACAUT Nagaland today alleged that most of the genuine beneficiaries in the State under Public Distribution System (PDS) do not receive their share of food grains and the few that receive are given food grains of inferior quality. A survey by ACAUT also found that for most part, the allocation happens only in departmental papers, according to a press release from Media Cell, ACAUT Nagaland.

ACAUT Nagaland questioned the State Food & Civil Supplies Department, which is responsible for PDS, why it has still not issued Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) despite being reminded. It pointed out that NIT has not been called for past several years. “Despite many contractors having proved their incapability by issuing power of attorney to third parties, why has the department extended their contract year after year?” it queried.

Message on unity, cultural performances mark Moatsü Moatsü celebration brings three villages together

Morung Express News Mokokchung | May 3

Rituals and festivity apart, Moatsü is also a time when one makes new friends and builds new ties. Mopungchuket Senso Telongjem Mokokchung celebrated Moatsü today at the Town Hall, Mokokchung with Mongsenyimti and Merangkong Senso unions of Mokokchung as ‘Moatsü aener’ guests.

Elders from the three villages exchanged Moatsü tidings to each other as part of the celebration and encouraged the youngsters of the three villages to uphold the unity shared between the three. It is said that Mongsenyimti descended from Aotemolung Longmiasang, as Mopungchuket was known then, while Merangkong later descended from Mongsenyimti. An

in-law of Mopungchuket, T. Imtiwapang Aier, ADC Mangkolemba exhorted the gathering and appreciated the hosts for organizing the

festival in a unique manner.

Apart from preserving one’s culture, he said, preserving the natural ecology was equally important. He

also exhorted the youngsters to uphold the traditional Ao values like “unity, responsibility and respect.”

IN FOCUS The Power of Truth

The Morung Express volume Xi issue 121

Critical Solidarity

A

ttaining critical public solidarity is the need of the hour in order for Nagas to emerge intact as a people and transcend the present conditions of injustice, distrust, suspicion, anger and disunity. All Nagas young and old, rich and poor, powerful and powerless, Naga civil society, Naga public and Naga political groups - need to recognize that their survival is dependent on the survival of the Naga people as a whole. In order for the deepening state of Naga affairs to be arrested, it is essential that every Naga rises above their own individual self-interest and work towards the collective wellbeing of Nagahood. It is only when the collective is secure that the individuals feel secure and in their rightful place.

Critical solidarity is the power that comes through recognizing and mutually respecting everyone’s dignity and understanding that they are united in opposition to the injustices they face by embracing the richness of humanity. It involves creating a common vision, particularly in situations where consent is withdrawn to existing established institutions, and people’s participation is restricted from all power structures of domination. Such critical solidarity can lead to empowering peoples and providing a guiding vision that actively involves humans and structures.

Critical solidarity requires dynamic leaders that constructively and respectfully engage with people, while instilling the desire to liberate human reason from the dominant status quo. Through the interactive nature of building critical solidarity a consensus on a shared future evolves. This evolution simultaneously begins to rewrite history in which the people are defined as makers of history and not as objects. The interplay between leaders and the people is often complicated and complex as many factors, internal and external, affect their interaction. Currently, it seems that consumerism fed by materialism has created societies in which truth, integrity and respect no longer matter as the desire and greed, for having more has displaced life-giving values.

In the present Naga conditions emotional reactivity based on people’s feelings of fear, distrust and doubt is creating a climate that is unstable, volatile and could easily escalate into violent conflict. At times people respond by willingly sacrificing truth, integrity and respect thereby fueling the cycle of reactivity. There are also many examples of how a leader responds in the Naga context; some leaders’ responses to these negative emotions have only resulted in stagnation. Another example is of a leader that moves too quickly may seem dismissive of people’s feelings and runs the risk of being misunderstood.

The complexity is compounded when, in times of crisis and upheavals, a leader who focuses on the peoples’ feelings may attain temporary popularity, while a leader who gets too far ahead of the people may become irrelevant.

All leaders need to have a sensitivity and intuitiveness, in addition to effectively building bridges between the emotional reactivity, doubts and distrust to a shared vision in which genuine relationships form, common understandings are reached and truth is apparent.

Leaders are responsible to stimulate and catalyze people’s critical consciousness. This creates an energy and dynamism that will build momentum so that people at the grassroots, and all levels can locate themselves within movements to reclaim their humanity. History, to these leaders is of the essence and their distinct singularity stems from their ability to discern challenges that are not yet apparent to their contemporaries. Are Naga leaders willing to assume the roles and responsibilities of our time and our history that they are being called to fulfill?

What if the Catholic Church declares No Wars are justified?

An influential Vatican conference just threw that ball into the Pope’s court

W

wednesday 04•05•2016

here did the justification for war come from? Early versions appeared in India and the Roman Empire.

In Christianity the seeds were sown by Saint Augustine and reaped by Thomas Aquinas. Today, Just War Theory, as espoused by the Catholic Church, holds: • the damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain; • all other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective; • there must be serious prospects of success; • the use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated (the power of modern means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition).

But the Vatican just held a conference titled “Nonviolence and Just Peace: Contributing to the Catholic Understanding of and Commitment to Nonviolence.” At Political Violence at a Glance, Erica Chenoweth writes of the conference: In their concluding appeal to Pope Francis, the 80 conference participants recommended that he reject just war doctrine as a viable or productive Catholic tradition. They also recommended that he write a new encyclical laying out the Catholic Church’s commitment to nonviolence in all of its manifestations—including nonviolent action as a means of engaging in conflict, nonviolent conflict resolution as a way of resolving conflict, and nonviolence as the principle doctrine of the Catholic Church.

Just War, Ms. Chenoweth explains, “has had a monopolistic influence on the way people in the West think about war and violence—whether they know it or not.”

Consequently, many people now take for granted concepts like the right to self-defense, the importance of weighing the goals of war against its potential human costs, the need to exhaust other options before going to war, and the necessity of only fighting wars you think you can win.

In the National Catholic Reporter, Terrence Rynne provides the reasons why Just War Theory might be amended.

Modern wars have made the just war theory obsolete; The rise of a Christology “from below”; A clearer understanding of how the New Testament relates to contemporary problems; A renewed appreciation of the way the early church practiced Jesus’ teachings on peace; The compelling, thrilling saga of nonviolent action over the 60 years since Gandhi.

At Common Dreams, Mairead Corrigan Maguire, Nobel Peace Prize winner for her work in Northern Ireland, writes: The Appeal is now in the hands of Pope Francis. We can all now pray, fast and work for a new encyclical on nonviolence and nonkilling. We hope that Pope Francis will continue to show courage, be brave and bold, and be a true Prophet, a loving Shepherd and a bright light in these dark days for the human family. Together, we can herald the coming of a more nonviolent world.

It has the potential to surpass in influence even his environmental encyclical, Laudato Si´.

Why the world needs a UN leader who stands Up for Human Rights

L

ast August, Balla Hadji, a 61-year-old truck driver in Bangui in the Central African Republic, was having breakfast with his wife when they heard shots outside. He ran out to call his daughter inside, but troops were already there, and shot him in the back as he ran away. His 16-year-old son, Souleimane, was also shot when he ran towards his father. Balla died on the spot, his son Souleimane the next day.

The soldiers were neither armed groups nor government forces; they wore the famous blue helmet and vest of United Nations (UN) peacekeepers.

Witnesses told Amnesty International that instead of helping the wounded father and son, the peacekeepers – who were meant to protect them – fired another round when the daughter tried to cross the street to reach her injured relatives.

What happened to an organization meant to protect and give voice to the world’s most vulnerable people? This is a question that candidates to succeed UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon must address in the process that started at the UN General Assembly earlier this month. In the coming months governments will select the UN’s next leader – who will take up their post in 2017.

This is a crucial turning point for a twentieth century body being shoehorned into the twenty-first.

The UN showed it can still deliver when it brokered agreements on development and climate goals in 2015, but its response to major crises was woefully inadequate. From its failure to protect civilians in conflicts like Syria and South Sudan to abuses perpetrated by its own forces, the UN is an organization creaking at the seams.

This is largely the fault of governments willfully thwarting UN action aimed at preventing war crimes and crimes against humanity or holding perpetrators to account. The UN Security Council appears less a place where people’s security and rights are protected than a forum where the richest and most powerful countries in the world play politics with their lives.

Four times a Security Council member has vetoed UN efforts to respond to the Syrian conflict. The result: nearly 12 million forced to flee their homes, and more than 250,000 dead.

At the Human Rights Council, Saudi Arabia’s western allies did its bidding, obstructing the establishment of a UN-led inquiry into violations by all sides in the conflict in Yemen, even while the Saudi-led coalition’s bombing campaign commits war crimes.

The result: a conflict that has taken the lives of more than 2,800 civilians, 700 of them children.

Even when the Security Council has acted and imposed sanctions and arms embargoes they have not been implemented effectively, for example in Sudan.

This cannot go on. I have seen the consequences on the ground in countries like Syria and Yemen: thousands detained, killed, displaced, and disappeared. When the victims and their families ask me if there is an organization that can help them, I know the answer should be the UN. Today I cannot look them in the eye and promise it will.

Failure to protect human rights will sow the seeds of future crises by fueling the injustice and repression that breed instability. Look at the uprisings in the Arab world five years ago, a palpable example of the link between system failure and governments repressing dissent and human rights.

The UN has not failed, yet. But its ability to fulfill its purpose is in grave jeopardy. The governments who select the next Secretary-General have to answer the critics who question whether the organization is fit for purpose in the twenty-first century.

The world needs someone who will champion marginalized people, pro-

tect civilians in conflict and prevent mass violations, combat impunity by supporting the International Criminal Court, fight for gender equality, defend activists against repressive governments and deal with the biggest global refugee crisis in seventy years.

That is a tall order, but essential in a world racked by proliferating conflict, deliberate targeting of civilians by states and armed groups, and rising xenophobia.

The next Secretary-General can do that by putting the protection of human rights front and centre. Human rights are meant to be the UN’s third pillar, along with development, and maintaining peace and security. But they risk becoming the third rail of UN politics: too controversial to touch, and a black mark in the eyes of certain Security Council members.

The new Secretary-General must bring human rights and humanitarian crises before the Security Council.

When serious human rights violations occur, he or she should use their powers under Article 99 of the UN Charter to bring threats to international peace and security before the Security Council. This power has not been used for decades.

The next Secretary-General must also restore the reputation of an organisation tarnished by sexual exploita-

tion and abuse committed by its own peacekeepers. The UN’s own statistics show 69 allegations of abuse in 2015, 22 of them from its peacekeeping force in the Central Africa Republic. The UN must make sure peacekeepers are punished when they turn predator.

But a critical first step is to have a fair and transparent process to select a highly qualified next leader for the UN. In the past, powerful governments who felt a strong Secretary-General was not in their interest have had too much control over the final decision.

The debates held earlier this month kick started a vital opportunity for governments to reinvigorate the UN. The election of the UN SecretaryGeneral this year may capture a fraction of the attention of the US presidential campaign. Yet for much of the world who stand to benefit from a dynamic UN, it could be just as significant. If not more.

n April 16, Ecuador suffered an earthquake registering 7.8 on the Richter scale. One week later, the death toll stood at 656, with more than twelve thousand injuries reported and more than fifty people still missing. Hundreds of aftershocks, some very powerful, continue to shake the country’s northwest coast and cause more damage.

The day after the disaster, aid began arriving from Ecuador’s Latin American neighbors: Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and Bolivia. Quick responses were crucial, as hundreds of people were still missing, many trapped in crumbling rubble.

Cuba sent 53 medical personnel, in addition to the more than two hundred Cuban doctors already on the ground in Ecuador. Three Cuban doctors died in a building that collapsed. Mexico sent a rescue team. Even tiny Honduras offered an aid worker.

European countries – chiefly France and Spain – sent more than 200 emergency personnel. Palestine, besieged and beleaguered, sent 19 aid technicians to Ecuador. But the United States responded more slowly, less aggressively. While U.S. military personnel helped prosperous and capable Japan deal with a lesser earthquake that struck there the same day as Ecuador’s, the Americans sent no rescue workers to this smaller, poorer country much closer to home.

For the USA, political calculation takes precedence over compassion.

Three days after the quake, U.S. President Barack Obama told Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa he would offer all possible help. Secretary of State

John Kerry said USAID would send a team to assess the damages and prioritize needs. He also offered $100,000 in USAID funds for “critical supplies.”

That may seem generous, but initial estimates of rebuilding costs exceed $ 3 billion, which may be a low guess. Chile spent $ 30 billion recovering from an 8.8 earthquake in 2010 that killed more than 500 people. Haiti’s catastrophic 7.0 earthquake that same year cost a staggering 316,000 lives and an estimated 14 billion dollars to rebuild, an effort still unrealized.

On April 20, four days after the quake, with hundreds still missing, U. S. Ambassador to Ecuador Alan Waldman said his “most important mission” now was letting U.S, citizens know that the embassy is open for business as usual, an oddly impolitic remark. He also urged a search for any missing U.S. citizens. One American was reported killed, among the 656 dead.

“We have expressed our condolences to the people and government of Ecuador and made it clear that the U.S. stands ready to help,” he said.

Officials of both governments were forced to deny rumors that Ecuador had refused U.S. assistance, a sign of the tense relations between the two countries for decades, especially since Rafael Correa became President of Ecuador in 2007.

Correa joined Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Bolivian President Evo Morales, to break away from neo-liberal U.S. influence in Latin America. He refused to sign a free trade agreement with the U.S. or renew the U.S. lease on a military base in Ecuador, which expired in 2009.

In 2011 Wikileaks made public a

diplomatic cable in which U.S. Ambassador to Ecuador Heather Hodges accused the national police of widespread corruption, and said Correa knew about it. Ecuador expelled Hodges. Correa later flouted U.S. pressure to prosecute Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, offering him asylum in Ecuador’s London embassy, where Assange remains, after nearly four years.

In April 2015 Correa confronted Obama directly at the Summit of the Americas in Panama. He castigated the U.S. for the 1989 invasion of Panama under George H.W. Bush which killed more than four thousand civilians.

And then Correa said: “Your government is still trying to intervene in our affairs… by your executive order that declared Venezuela a threat to your national security… also… by officials from your office asking the U.S. Congress for money to defend freedom of expression in Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador and Nicaragua. We totally reject this act of arrogance.”

Clearly nonplussed, Obama replied that he appreciated the history lesson and hoped everyone could learn from past mistakes. For these reasons, and others, relations between the United States and Ecuador remain uneasy.

For Ecuador, a small country of sixteen million people, the earthquake came at an especially bad moment.

Depressed oil prices have devastated the Ecuadorean economy, which is largely based on petroleum exports.

Correa’s many social programs and building projects extended the national budget to the limit and beyond.

His government dissolved the national Emergency Fund, incorporating it into the general budget.

WRITE-WING

Chile rebounded from its earthquake by deploying its cash reserves and selling its principal natural resource, copper, at a premium price.

But Ecuador’s oil is devalued now and it has no reserves.

To avoid U.S. influence, Correa welcomed the Chinese, who now own drilling rights to a third of the Ecuadorean Amazon. A new constitution, written under Correa’s aegis, promised to respect the environment, especially territories held sacred by indigenous peoples. But Correa’s critics say he traded away that respect for immediate liquidity, so that Ecuadoreans would not be “beggars sitting on a sack of gold” in his words. And the Chinese are not known for their scrupulous environmental stewardship.

Correa has taken to taxing imported and local products more heavily to make up his budget shortfall. Prices rise daily. The government is no longer honoring all its contracts. Public budgeted payments to universities, local governments and even a cancer hospital have been suspended or delayed.

Many workers in various institutions are simply not being paid. The earthquake has added injury to insult.

Now in his third presidential term, Correa says he will not run in the 2017 election, perhaps a prudent move in what will certainly be a difficult time for his countrymen. The United States could alleviate some of Ecuador’s immediate and long-term suffering. But they have chosen instead a course of watchful waiting, perhaps until they are able to attach some of the many strings their aid to Latin America usually entails – especially military and economic intervention - that Rafael Correa has taken great pains to avoid.

Improving your Memory Is our society inclusive of Persons with Disabilities?

Initiatives such as Accessible India/Nagaland can make a difference to an otherwise lugubrious situation for Persons with Disability of our country. In our pursuit of an inclusive society, we ought to acknowledge the differences within the disabled community.

As a society we need to initiate open and honest conversations about areas that constitute the experience of being disabled. For sure, many of these realms cannot be translated in to specific targets and measureable indicators. Yet opening ourselves to such conversations can be a good starting point. The idea that technology and accessibility by itself can create an inclusive society is only a myth that we need to open to scrutiny from a wider perspective.

Amento Achumi, Dimapur I guess people's mentality have changed with time.

There are special schools in Kohima for the ‘Special’ kids. Not forgetting the first deaf and dumb marriage in Dimapur. And just two months back a ‘pay n use’ toilet was constructed (now in use) near Red Cross Kohima where a separate toilet was also constructed for the handicapped. So I believe people are becoming more inclusive with regard to persons with disabilities. But of course a lot more needs to be done.

May be organising awareness programme would be a good start.

Abemo Sangma, Kohima Society has always looked down upon people with disabilities. It didn't just happen at the workplace or a public place but it started from our own homes.

Society has never encouraged disabled people to participate in activities for it would prove to be a painstaking slow work and result would also be unsatisfactory and for most of the time, treat them like a hindrance. Society instead would ask the disabled person to rest at home. Society treats disabled people like sick people which is wrong. There is a big difference there between being sick and disabled. When was the last time we saw a person with a disability work in the office or be seen at a public sighting? We see them for most of the time indoors; dormant, to be precise. Our society in no way would encourage disabled people to seek opportunities leaving them with no hope for a better future and that the society still hasn't come with ways to encourage or promote persons with disabilities of a future where they can live together like everyone in equal. With the rising number of disabled people in the few decades with no opportunities, it clearly shows that the society is not inclusive of persons with disabilities.

Kaka Lotha, Dimapur Nagas in general are sympathetic and accepting of disabled persons but the environment, especially in terms of facilities, is not conducive for them. ngayin Sareo, Dimapur I think we still have outdated attitudes, false stereotypes and segregation surrounding disability in general. Our society perceives people with disabilities with fear. This fear comes from ignorance and unawareness, and it shows in our views and attitude towards people with disabilities.

Tips and techniques to help you remember... ...you know, that thing... I forgot.

Great for students...but other folks could benifet from these tips, as well.

Having problems forgetting appointments, to-dos, errands, feeding your children and pets, picking up after yourself, getting out of bed... not to mention forgetting birthdays, and even anniversaries?

If you are like many people, you will often find yourself forgetting something. In an age of computers, PDA’s, and many other devices - this my be ok for some folks, unless you forget where you put those devices. Others may want to increase their ability to memorize things luckily there are a few creative ways you can improve your long and short term memory.

Use your Senses & Be Aware Practice creating vivid images/ concepts in your head - using all of your senses. Analyze your surroundings by sound, sight, smell, taste, and touch. Being aware all of your senses will give your mind more ways to associate (and thus remember) when it is time to recall something.

This is like form of meditation -- which is good for your brain in a variety of ways. (see our article:Interesting Ways to Improve Your Brain for more info).

Practice this tip of simply being more aware of your surroundings everyday and you will find your general memory greatly improved.

Humour If you need to memorize something specific try using humour as a memory aid.

Make a funny limerick or poem about something that needs to be remembered and you'll have a hard time forgetting. (Great tip for students) Example: Guitar students are sometimes taught to remember the common 5 string tuning of EADGBE with this: Elephants And Donkeys Grow Big Ears Don't worry, be Mindful There has been a lot said about

the power of positive thinking. Recently, a huge bandwagon of newage positive thought = positive outcome theories have been on tips of everyone's tongue from Oprah to your local convenience store clerk.

Just do a google search for "Law of Attraction" or "The Secret" if you aren't in the cult loop.

Negative thoughts fog our minds, but clearing out the negative and focusing on the positive also improves memory & concentration.

Stress is a big brain buster,

so minimize stress and negative thoughts to keep your wits.

Apt Quote: “What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can't move, with no hope of rescue. Consider how lucky you are that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your current circumstances seems more likely, consider how lucky you are that it won't be troubling you much longer.” - Douglas Adams See the Future Have trouble remembering to-dos, appointments, meetings, deadlines, birthdays and other future events?

Here is the secret: When you know you have an upcoming event you don't want to forget, picture yourself at the event. What are you doing, who is there, what does it smell like? Imagine the event...even better: imagine yourself taking the steps that lead to the event.

For example... let's say tomorrow you have to call the someone.

Picture yourself in your home/office, picture yourself picking up the phone, imagine dialing the number and talking to the person of the other end.

Associate Association is among one of the easiest and most used tools in learning. This is the process of taking the information you wish to memorize, and linking it mentally to something else that is natural to you. When learning something new, try to associate the new concept with one to which you are already familiar.

Couple association with being aware using all of your senses and you will have a higher rate of successful recall.

Chunky Chunking information is a great mnemonic method to remember multiple items. Many people naturally use chunking to remember phone numbers: Instead of thinking "17342876642" we chunk it as 1-734-287-6642.

The concept of chunking comes from a famous 1956 paper by George A. Miller: The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on our Capacity for Processing Information. If you are a sucker for classic works in the history of psychology (I know, who isn't?) you can read thewhole original paper here.

Write it Down We generally think of "writing things down" as a means to NOT have to remember something. The paper does the work for -- we just need to remember where we put that piece of paper...

But, writing things down has another effect: you clear your mind and take away the stress of "having to remember", and by doing so you actually have more room in your noggin for remembering stuff. I know that explanation wasn't scientific, but it works.

To-do lists are championed by business gurus and soccer moms alike. Try writing everything down for a week or two and see how much this improves your memory & focus. A great digital tool for "writing things down" is provided by a website called Nozbe.com -- I recommend it for clearing your head and also organizing your thoughts.

Education is undergoing a rapid transformation with new age technology and modern teaching aids. Students and teachers are integrating technology into their lessons and classrooms. An example of technology being used to be more efficient is the way the Nagaland Board of School Education now releases the HSSLC and HSLC result. It is either online or through sms. Technology is now also entering classrooms like Google apps, an online collaboration tool which has been integrated at Tetso College or through smart boards and other teaching systems. Different generations have different habits and it’s also becoming very clear that they also learn differently.

an offering to the river

A

ccording to a Chang (Naga) legend, there once lived a girl by the name, Momola. One day, her mother took her fishing. Both tried their best but could not catch even a single fish. The frustrated mother at last made a promise: if the river blesses her with fish, she would offer Momola to the river.

As soon as she uttered that word, they were blessed with abundant fish. But the mother did not keep her promise.

So, the water level rose to an unmeasured height and flooded the world with a roaring sound like ‘mo mo mo’ (meaning to call Momola). The world then grumbled to Momola's mother that one should keep one's word. At last, Momola was given to the river, and the water level normalized. It was believed that when the water rose to its height, all the living creatures gathered at mount Ngakushon, mount Yengni and mount Longshon respectively.

After the water normalized, Momola's mother went in search of her daughter. She came across two big fish, and to her surprise, one appeared to be half fish and half woman. It happened to be Momola transformed into "Mermaid." As time passed, Momola gave birth to a tiny fish, and one day, went to meet her families, keeping her little one in a manger. When she returned, her little one was gone, and she started to make inquiries. To her surprise, it so happened that her relatives, thinking that she brought the tiny fish as gift, ate her little one.

Momola, with much pain, began to worry about what explanation she would give to her sea fish partner.

She then asked the relatives whether they had left even a bone. To her fortune, there was one. She then, transformed it into a tiny fish and went back. Momola's partner asked why their little one became weak and thin.

Momola replied that it was because her uncle was hurt by her long disappearance.

The Chang believed that uncles are not to be hurt and must be kept happy. Otherwise, something bad happens to whoever hurts them. The Chang named that peculiar type of fish as "Mong", which is not consumed, as it was believed that it was transformed from human.

Changing the Face of Education Mhabeni Tungoe, Assistant Professor, Department of Education

n Nagaland, to some extent, improvement, changes, and developments are taking place in every area of life - social, political, economic, culture, technology, etc. This is taking place mainly due to education. Education is an important instrument which helps and has equipped us to live an enriching life, abreast with the changes that are going on in this world. Due to the efforts of the state government, private organizations, and community support, many changes and ongoing developments are visible in the education system. In Nagaland, the many government and private schools and colleges has everyone, who is involved and working, trying their best to give enriching education to the students. At the same time, there are some loopholes which are hard to ignore. One area which I observe and think is lacking behind, in general, in Nagaland’s educational institutions is the insufficient usage of modern teaching aids. I consider this to be very important in the teaching-learning process, considering the fact that we are living in the age of vast technological advancements. I know that some institutions, especially the privately owned schools and colleges, are using modern teaching aids in the classroom which are proving to be extremely beneficial for the students. The

MoMola:

majority of the institutions, especially the government-owned institutions,are not using modern teaching aids in their institutions.

Teaching requires different types of techniques, and teaching aids. The selection of the pedagogy depends on the nature of the content, learning objectives, learners’ abilities, and entry behaviour of the students. The main focus of teaching is to bring about a desirable change in the behaviour of the learner. It is brought about by the teacher using different methods and strategies, and supplementing it with teaching aids to achieve an educational objective. From the morung system of the past to the present day education system, we have witnessed a great transformation in the way we teach and learn.

Traditionally, we grew up with teaching aids like blackboards, chalks, maps, flash cards, and posters. These aids, although good, now has limited scope. We can observe that the type of students, along with the times, have changed. Some of the students already have access to smartphones, computers, and the internet, because of which traditional teaching aids are not very effective anymore. A teaching aid is something which makes teaching easier and makes learning more effective and enjoyable for the student. It adds

value to the process of learning.

Modern teaching aids engage the students’ senses, and increase interaction with the content, leading to increased better retention. Teaching tools now used in classrooms are multidimensional in their nature. It allows the students to really enjoy the process of learning. Students are now very much advanced in the process of learning. We cannot consider them as empty vessels to be filled in by facts and figures. They are now exposed to media and the internet, accumulating learning experiences from all sides. These days the students are more inquisitive and knowledgeable, and try to think and learn independently. This increases the need of modern teaching aids in the classroom. Some of the of modern teaching aids used by teachers inside the classroom are the overhead projector (OHP) or LCD projector, charts, laptops/computers, edusoftwares, educational toys, models, audio and video clips, voice recorders, powerpoint presentations, etc. Apart from using these tools, with the help of internet connectivity, the students can be exposed to newer and better teaching aids. They can access ebooks, ejournals, video conference with scholars around the globe, and make use of educational

apps like the Google Classroom.

Using these modern teaching aids in our state can be problematic. This is because of several reasons. The most pertinent of these would be the shortage of electricity in our state. Load-shedding and power failures owing to several problems complicate the usage of technological tools in educational institutions.

Many of the students belong to families which may not be able to afford the fees charged by institutions using these modern teaching aids. Due to the shortage of financial resources, the institutions cannot afford to provide their students with these learning tools.

I understand and know that to have these modern tools, equipment and facilities can be quite a Herculean task. It cannot be achieved all at once. A lot of financial resources and cooperation from every sector will be needed. The goal may be challenging but we must start now. The government and management of educational institutions must take steps for proper planning and utilize the institutions’ income and government funds effectively. This will enable providing the basic and necessary modern teaching tools for the teachers and students so that our education system is more techno savvy.

INDIA/NORTH-EAST

THE MORUNG EXPRESS

MPs panel raps government for Pathankot airbase security lapses New Delhi, May 3 (iaNS): The government on Tuesday came under a sharp attack from a parliamentary panel for lapses and failures in the Pathankot airbase security, and said "something was seriously wrong" with India's counter-terror mechanism.

A report by the parliamentary standing committee on the home ministry, which provides parliamentary oversight on internal security, red-flagged India's overall security apparatus to battle crossborder terrorism.

It said the January 2 strike at the Indian Air Force (IAF) base in Pathankot was preventable after "concrete and credible intelligence inputs" were received about a possible attack by terrorists from across the border with Pakistan.

The panel, headed by P. Bhattacharya of the Congress, lamented how Indian security agencies "were so ill-prepared to anticipate (terror) threats in time and counter them swiftly and decisively". "...something is seriously

wrong with our counter-terror security establishment," said the report by the parliamentary standing committee for home ministry.

The report comes in the wake of the Pathankot terror attack that killed at least seven Indian security personnel at the sprawling airbase complex which houses some of India's high-value security assets, including fighter jets.

The committee questioned how the "Pakistani terrorists" managed to cross the border "despite fencing, floodlighting and patrolling by" Indian frontier guards.

The panel "is unable to understand that in spite of terror alert sounded well in advance, how terrorists managed to breach the 'high-security' airbase".

It alleged the "airbase's security cover was not robust (with) a poorly guarded perimeter wall".

The panel said during its visit to the airbase, it found there were no roads around the perimeter wall of the airbas complex where the heavily armed terrorists were holed up before they were

gunned down in a battle that lasted for 72 hours.

It said shrubs and trees on the premises were found to have grown long enough to help "terrorists in hiding and making difficult for security forces in flushing (them) out".

The panel also highlighted the "very questionable and suspicious" role of Punjab Police.

The committee asked why Punjab Police "took a long time in arriving at the conclusion that" the abductions by the attackers of Superintendent of Police Salwinder Singh, his friend and the cook "was not just a criminal robbery".

It questioned how the senior police officer was let off which should be "thoroughly examined" by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) probing the attack. "...the role of the narco syndicate active in the border areas of Punjab should also be investigated as the terrorists might have taken the help of channels or networks used by smugglers to infiltrate the border," it said.

The panel alleged that Pakistan security and intelligence agencies were involved in the attack that led to frosty ties between India and Pakistan, just days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Lahore on a previously unannounced trip to attend the wedding of Pakistani Premier Nawaz Sharif's granddaughter.

Question allowing Pakistan investigators into Pathankot base The panel also questioned the government allowing Pakistani investigators into the Pathankot airbase to probe the January 2 terror attack at the heavily guarded defence complex.

“What made the government of India to seek help of Pakistan into investigation of (the) terror attack and invite a Joint Investigation Team from Pakistan to India,” Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs asked in a report seeking answers from the government over various issues including alleged security lapses in preventing crossborder terrorism.

India blamed Pakistani terrorists for the terror attack at the air force base in Pathankot that killed seven security personnel.

Three months after the attack, a team of Pakistanis, including an ISI officer, visited India to probe the attack. The investigators from that country were also allowed inside the heavily guarded 2,000acre defense complex that houses high-value assets, including fighter jets.

While the opposition questioned the move, the government defended it saying the Pakistani investigators were given access to an isolated "crime" spot and not the entire sensitive airbase.

India had anticipated that Pakistan will reciprocate the move and allowed a team of National Investigation Agency (NIA) to visit there and question terror suspects, including Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar, who is alleged to have masterminded the attack that killed seven security panel.

But Pakistan has so far dragged its feet on allowing Indian investigators on its soil.

CheNNai, May 3 (pTi): The Madras High Court has made it clear that religious institutions should adhere to the law in the matter of use cone-type speakers and directed authorities to ensure full compliance by June 21 of the DGP s instructions based on a Supreme Court directive. The first bench, comprising Chief Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice M M Sundresh, was passing further interim orders on a PIL filed by S Kumaravelu of Perambur for a direction to the government and police to strictly implement a Supreme Court order dated July 18, 2005.

The apex court had placed restrictions on the usage of cone-type speakers. When the matter came up recently, the Advocate General A L Somayaji submitted that about 18 religious institutions had agreed to implement the DGP's order and some other institutions sought time.

The bench in its order said "part compliance has taken place. Full compliance should take place by the next date.

We, however, make it clear that it is the question of enforcement of law and not the violators agreeing among themselves to take their own sweet time. Full compliance should take place by June 21."

Jisha, 27, was found murdered on April 28 at her home near a canal in Perumbavoor here by her mother, a labourer. Her body was badly mutilated. There were injuries on her private parts, according to police. Police are waiting for forensic reports to know if the victim was raped and then murdered.

UNC demands details on killing incidents Newmai News Network Imphal | May 3

The United Naga Council (UNC) has on Tuesday condemned in the strongest terms the abduction and murder of truck driver PA Chinaoshang of Pharung village under Ukhrul district.

The 38-year-old, s/o late PA Mangaleng, was kidnapped by unidentified people from a labour camp at Shongphel village on April 3 last at around 11.30 pm. His body was later found in a decomposed state at Lhengnom village on April 18, UNC general secretary S Milan said in a

press release.

It said UNC also condemns the barbaric and brutal murder of A Ngairaisung (33) s/o late A Yangmaso of Phalee village under Somdal Police Station and MK Lungrei (40) s/o MK Tion of Hungpung village under Ukhrul Police Station on April 22 last by unidentified gunmen.

Their bodies were found on April 28 at Mangkhrak, now Maringthel under Tengoupal Police Station in Chandel district.

The UNC press release demanded that government make known to the public all the details on the killing incidents without delay.

“The UNC condemns and opposes all forms of violence, bloodshed and killings. We appeal to all parties or individuals to desist from carrying out further violence, bloodshed and killing of innocent civilians in future,” the release urged.

The council demanded that the nature of the murder cases should be thoroughly investigated by constituting an independent agency and those involved should be brought to book and befittingly punished by the law of the land and also the victim families should be adequately compensated immediately.

Strike announced in Manipur over ILP iMphal, May 3 (iaNS): An umbrella group demanding re-introduction of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system in Manipur on Tuesday announced a general strike in the state from May 5 to 7. Khomdram Ratan, convener of the Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS), made this announcement at a press conference in Imphal on Tuesday evening.

He said it was the first step of the renewed movement. "There will be more agitations in the coming days until the three bills pending in the office of the President are given assent.

A meeting on Monday resolved to intensify the anti-migrant agitations," he said.

The three bills -the Protection of the Manipur Peoples Bill, 2015; the Manipur Land Reforms & Land Revenue (7th Amendment) Bill, 2015; and the Manipur Shops and Establishment (2nd amendment) Bill, 2015 - were passed by the

Manipur assembly on August 31 last year.

However, in view of objections from the state's tribals, the governor referred the bills to the President of India. The JCILPS is unhappy over the way political parties and elected representatives were delaying the bills. Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh told tribal representatives to consult Supreme Court lawyers, and if there was anything against tribals, the state government was ready to make amendments to the three legislations.

After the bills were passed, a student was killed and over 500 other people were injured in agitations pressing for the Inner Line Permit. Tribals in Churachandpur district launched protests and eight youths were gunned down and another youth died near the protest site. Tribal organisations refused to claim the bodies, saying the unconditional withdrawal of the bills should precede it.

ple being examined were suspects, not accused.

Additional Director General of PoliceK.Padmakumarsaidpolicebelieved at this point that the crime was committed by one person. "We are awaiting the forensic and medical reports. Evidence is being gathered. A lot of people have been questioned," he said.

The two being questioned now were two of Jisha's friends at a private hospital near here where she worked.

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said the government wanted the probe to be headed by "a very senior official. Nothing will be left to chance to bring the culprits to justice".

Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala faced angry Left activists when he reached the hospital where Jisha's mother is admitted and left in

Women activists and the Communist Party of India-Marxist have hit out at the way police have handled the case. In the state capital, women journalists took out a m rch demanding that police act with speed.

The students' wing of CPI-M took out a march to the police station near here demanding quick action.

The victim's mother moaned: "Our neighbours did not come to our help even after coming to know of the murder. We want the law to come to our aid and arrest those who have done this." In the state capital, the BJP asked the government to bring the guilty to book at the earliest.

CPI-M leader and former chief minister V.S. Achuthanandan has said he will visit the home of the victim on Wednesday morning.

No official estimate of black money: Govt New Delhi, May 3 (pTi): There is no official estimation of amount of black money that has been sent to foreign countries by India persons, government said today.

"Determination of black money sent to foreign countries by Indian persons is subject matter of investigation and other follow-up actions by relevant law enforcement agencies, including Income Tax Department, Enforcement Directorate, CBI etc, which is on-going.

"However, details regarding the amount of money involved in such cases are not maintained centrally," Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha said in a written reply to Rajya Sabha.

Asked whether Indian share in black money stashed in tax havens across the world is at USD 152-181 billion, as per the recent estimate by economists from Bank of Italy, he said there seems to be no empirical evidence to suggest that the figures arrived at on the basis of certain assumptions and presumptions, necessarily represent Indian's share in black money stashed in tax havens.

These economists have reportedly analysed data from IMF and the Bank of International Settlement (BIS) and applied certain assumptions to arrive at the estimation, he added.

The minister pointed out that by applying another set of assumptions, the same economists have reportedly estimated Indian share in black assets at USD 4-5 billion.

"In the context of these estimation, they have reportedly put the caveat that these estimations have to be considered with great care and in no way can represent firm data," Sinha said.

Rajya Sabha ethics panel wants to expel Mallya New Delhi, May 3 (iaNS): The ethics committee of the Rajya Sabha has recommended expulsion of independent member, liquor baron Vijay Mallya, a day after he sent his resignation to Chairman M. Hamid Ansari.

Sources said the panel wants Mallya's resignation to be rejected, and his expulsion initiated through due procedure.

A final decision rests with the Rajya Sabha chairman.

Mallya sent his resignation to Ansari on Monday, a day before the ethics panel was to meet.

He later tweeted: "In all humility and not in defiance as they report, I would like Indian media to check and verify facts before calling me a defaulter."

Mallya is wanted for defaulting bank loans to the tune of Rs.9,000 crore.

He is an Independent member of the Rajya Sabha from Karnataka, and his term ends June 30.

This is his second term in the upper house.

According to parliament sources, during his tenure of almost 10 years as member of the Rajya Sabha, Mallya had been declaring his assets and liabilities as "nil".

The union government had revoked Mallya's passport after he failed to turn up for a probe into the loan default. This has set in motion the process for the billionaire's possible deportation from Britain, where he is staying at present.

His case was referred to the ethics panel by the Rajya Sabha Chairman, after he fled the country.

Tendulkar made Olympics ambassador Thunder

new DeLhi, MAy 3 (AFP): Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar was named Tuesday as one of India's goodwill ambassadors for

the upcoming Rio Olympics following a furore over Bollywood star Salman Khan's appointment, which was slammed as inappropriate.

Tendulkar said he accepted an offer from the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to work alongside Khan, whose appointment triggered a row over whether an actor was best suited to promote sports people.

"I have had the privilege and honour of representing

our nation for 25 years and I continue to bat for India off the field," the master batsman wrote in a letter to IOA chiefs. " T h e w e l f a re o f sportspersons and encouraging them to give their best is dear to me."

The IOA named more ambassadors, including ace Indian shooter Abhinav Bindra and Oscar-winning musician AR Rahman, in the days after the controversy over Khan.

Olympic wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt had criticised Khan's appointment, saying the "Olympics is not a place to promote films". Indian sprint legend Milkha Singh had urged the government to intervene to overturn the decision.

The IOA has defended its decision. It says the 50-year-old actor, who currently faces a charge of illegally shooting protected antelope, is popular with young people.

BCCI statute can't provide transparency, accountability: SC new DeLhi, MAy 3 (iAns): The Supreme Court said on Tuesday the Indian cricket board's constitution is unworthy of providing transparency, objectivity and accountability, and added the values can only be attained by making wholesale changes in it.

"The inherent constitution of BCCI is such that it is highly incapable of achieving the values of transparency, objectivity and accountability that without changing its structure it can't be done so," a bench comprising Chief Justice

T.S. Thakur and Justice F.M. I. Kalifulla said.

The remarks came after senior advocate Gopal Subramanium, who was appointed as amicus curiae by the court for assistance on the issue, said the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) constitution could be deemed illegal if it doesn't allow those values to be achieved since the governing body is discharging a public function.

"You discharge public function but you want to enjoy private status. If you have public persona, then you have to shed private

persona. This cannot be done. It selects national team for the country, it cannot be a private society. It is a public entity," Subramanium said.

Subramanium added had the BCCI adhered to the constitutional values, the need for Justice R.M. Lodha's justified recommendations for wholesale structural reforms to be implemented would never have been aroused.

"Recommendations are in right directions and the steps are in right direction to ensure that constitutional values are adhered to

ensure institutional integrity," he said.

Subramanium also said members of IPL franchise should be included in its governing council for greater transparency.

He added he supports the recommendation of legalising betting in the country.

The BCCI-appointed senior advocate K.K. Venugopal said for legalising betting, a law needs to be passed. But the board does not agree with this, as every state has its own law relating to betting and gambling.

Aus lead India as SA slip in ICC Test rankings

DubAi, MAy 3 (PTi): Australia has opened up a six-point gap over India at the top of the MRF Tyres ICC Test Team Rankings following the annual update with the results from 2012-13 no longer included in the calculations and outcomes from the 201415 series weighted at 50 per cent.

According to a media release issued by ICC, India now leads third-placed Pakistan by just one point.

A

Pakistan has benefitted from the annual update as defeat against South Africa by 3-0 in 2012-13 no longer counts, while the 2-0 loss to Sri Lanka in 2014-15 has its weighting reduced to 50 per cent.

The annual Test update has resulted in South Africa dropping from third position to sixth after conceding 17 points.

This is due to South Africa's victories over England, Australia, New Zealand

and Pakistan in 2012-13 all being dropped from the rankings calculations.

The annual update has also affected the West Indies, which has retained its eight position but has dropped from 76 points to 65 points. This is because its victories over New Zealand, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in 2012-13 have all been dropped from calculations.

The gap between the West Indies and ninth-

ranked Bangladesh has been slashed from 29 points to just eight points.

LeBron James dunks during the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals at Quicken Loans Arena on May 2 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Getty Images)

Los AngeLes, MAy 3 (AFP): LeBron James led the way as the Cleveland Cavaliers finally broke the Atlanta Hawks' resistance to seal a 104-93 victory and take a 1-0 lead in their Eastern Conference semi-final playoff series.

James scored 25 points and came up with two big steals late in the fourth quarter to help the Cavaliers seize the early initiative in the best-of-seven series at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena.

Kyrie Irving added 21 points with eight assists and one rebound as the wellrested Cavaliers dominated against a weary Atlanta.

The Cavs had benefited from more than a week off after wrapping up a 4-0 sweep of the Detroit Pistons in the first round.

A satisfied James suggested Cleveland had ben-

efited from eight days off against an Atlanta side who were taken to six games by the Boston Celtics in the previous round.

"Give a lot of credit to the Atlanta Hawks, they brought it today," James said.

"Obviously, you could tell they went through a longer series than us.

"We're going to get better as the season goes on but it's a great start to the series."

Germany's Dennis Schroder was the top scorer for Atlanta, pouring on a game-high 27 points with six assists and three rebounds.

Paul Millsap added 17 points while Kent Bazemore finished with 16 points for the beaten visitors.

Atlanta had fought back to within four at 92-88 with 3:11 left on the clock before James dispossessed Schro-

der and converted a threepoint play to stretch the Cavs lead.

Game two in the series takes place in Cleveland on Wednesday.

In Monday's other game, Russell Westbrook scored 29 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder bounced back to beat San Antonio 98-97.

Just two days after suffering a 32-point blowout defeat on Saturday, Westbrook and Kevin Durant both produced big games to propel the Thunder to a crucial victory.

Westbrook's haul was matched by another masterful performance from Durant, who added 28 points to underscore his value to the franchise as free agency looms.

LaMarcus Aldridge meanwhile contributed 41 points for the Spurs in vain,

with three assists and eight rebounds.

Kawhi Leonard weighed in with 14 points for San Antonio, with Argentina's Manu Ginobili the only other Spurs player to make double digits with 11.

The Thunder were forced to endure a nervous finish as the Spurs fought back to within one point in the closing seconds.

Durant made a superb jumper with 33 seconds left to give the Thunder a 96-91 lead but the Spurs hit back with an Aldridge threepointer.

Westbrook made two free throws with 18.3 seconds on the clock to give Oklahoma City a 98-94 lead.

But a clumsy foul on Aldridge as he attempted a three-pointer gifted San Antonio three free throws which he duly drained to make it 98-97.

public discourse

t an uncertain time of 'cloak and dagger' environment most unfortunately induced

by NSCN (IM) when there is virtually no clue whatsoever about the so-called "Framework Agreement", between NSCN (IM) and Mr. Ravi (the 'Prime Ministerial level' retired bureaucrat Interlocutor to the GoI), on 3rd August 2015, the article exclusively carried by Morung Express on Wednesday 20.04.2016 titled "Emerging contours of the Naga settlement" by one Mr. Bharat Bhushan, a senior mainland journalist, is a welcome insight that the Nagas can at least ponder over and try to understand the consequences thereof, on the assumption that he (Mr. Bharat Bhushan) was actually privy to reliable inner source of information. Since all not subscribing to Morung Express would have missed out on this news item let me recap the contents verbatim just so that the readers are enabled to exercise their mind on what Mr. Bharat Bhushan had to say: (Quote): "According to the Naga sources close to the negotiations, four points of agreement have been reached: One, a Pan Naga Hoho (essentially, a supreme Naga Council cutting across Naga-inhabited states) will be created as a statutory apex body with legislative, budgetary and negotiating powers. This will be an elected body and govern the Nagas eventually.

Two, pending the integration of the Naga areas outside Nagaland into a single administrative unit, Regional Autonomous District Councils (RADCs) will be created for the Naga-inhabited districts of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. These will come under the Pan Naga Hoho.

Three, the Indian Parliament will enact a Special Naga Law which will be incorporated in the Indian Constitution.

The Special Naga Law will contain the division of competencies...subjects in the State, Union and Concurrent Lists of the Indian Constitution...between the Centre and the Nagas. In this way, what the NSCN (IM) calls the Naga Constitution will become an integral part of the Indian Constitution.

Four, all natural resources found in the Naga areas-below the ground and on the surface- will belong to the Nagas. They will have full right to exploit them except in cases where they feel that they need to partner with the central government and its entities. In such cases, joint venture agreements will be signed for exploration and exploitation of resources". (Unquote).

Interestingly, NSCN (IM) has not refuted this article by Mr. Bharat Bhushan.

Not wanting a tag as the sole conscientious objector to the "Framework Agreement" on ground of its lack of transparency, this author has been withholding his opinion

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

from the public domain for the past weeks in the hope that some other intellectuals in the multitude just might join the fray and address this controversial subject. That this is not about to happen is more or less apparent by the silence so far maintained which therefore prompts this author to candidly evaluate our circumstance... starting with a presumptuous question: Is this a lethal ploy of NSCN (IM) to claim that the people of Nagaland had been given an opportunity to react to the 'leaked contents' of the agreement through the mainland journalist Mr. Bharat Bhushen, but that the Nagas remained silent... which would be registered as a consent?

So as to negate this remote possibility, the following dispassionate, analytical views are being presented in response: Agreement No. 1(One): Pan Naga Hoho as a Statutory Apex Body with Legislative, Budgetary and Negotiating powers seems to snugly fit into the present NSCN (IM) "Yehzabo" which is a "one party hierarchy under a Collective leadership" as the Supreme Naga Council. The fundamental issue that critically need unambiguous public affirmation is whether the NSCN (IM) seriously intends to adopt their present "one party" archaic "Red Book Communist Philosophy of Mao Zedong", (which has already been abandoned even by the Chinese Government themselves), as the applying yardstick of governance should they get the opportunity to form the Government after the negotiated settlement? So that no one is in doubt, Mr. Isak Swu, the President of NSCN (IM) and Mr. Th.Muivah, the Prime Minister of NSCN (IM), unequivocally maintains that their NSCN (IM) "Yehzabo" will be the final applicable constitution for the Nagas.

This is a statement from the horses' mouth directly heard several times in the distant past by this author. Their "Preamble" specifically begins with "We, the people of Nagaland". The pertinent question that immediately comes to mind is: If integration is eventually achieved, is this "Yehzabo" comprehensive enough to be applicable to all Nagas beyond Nagaland even if it is without their consent? In the absence of their endorsement the moral sanctity of the present "Yehzabo" becomes redundant. Further, one fails to understand when "We, the people of Nagaland" actually consented to live under an alien Communistic regime or agree to allow the State to nationalise all our personal movable/immovable properties.

In all ominous likelihood however, it will be shoved down our throat with AK 47.

No matter what the inner resentment is, the brave Nagas of Nagaland will tamely

swallow this bitter pill after it is too late because everyone seriously believes in living... even if in perpetual fear. Fellow Nagas, the time is perilously rife for all of us to carefully study the deadly "Yehzabo" of the NSCN (IM) before communism takes over our lives for all times to come.

This is a looming reality waiting to happen.

We better speak out loud and clear... for or against...and NOW is the opportune time to do it!

Agreement No. 2 (Two) reinforces agreement No. 1 (One) that... "pending"... meaning even without a physical integration of the Naga areas outside Nagaland into a single administrative unit, Regional Autonomous District Councils (RADCs) will be created for the Nagainhabited districts of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam which will come under the Pan Naga Hoho. Mr. Bhatar Bhushan continues his commentary saying (Quote): "The foremost among them are - the integration of Naga areas; and the issue of the Pan Naga Hoho's legislative powers when there is already an elected government in Nagaland mandated to exercise such powers. On the issue of integration, the government is believed to have told the Nagas that it cannot put a deadline as State boundaries can only be changed through democratic process. That means taking into account the views of the inhabitants of other states which stand to lose territory to the NagasManipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam.

The NSCN (IM) has been told that they should appreciate that the government cannot create a situation which leads to further chaos in the North-eastern States.

Although there are tentative suggestions for setting up a mechanism like the State Re-organisation Commission, the integration of Naga areas, while on the negotiating table, is unlikely to happen any time soon. Until there is integration of Naga areas, there cannot be two governments for the Nagas- the elected government of Nagaland and the Pan Naga Hoho. Therefore, sources suggest, that in the interim period- for which no limit has been set- there will be only one government that would enjoy legislative power, and that would be the elected government of Nagaland state. The residual powers of the Pan Naga Hoho, including its finances, in the interim period would then have to be defined" (Unquote).

Reading between the lines a great many uncomfortable scenarios emerges.

The transition from the existing elected government to that of the NSCN (IM) government would not be such a big deal since the 60 Ali Babas in the NLA having

already made their policy commitment to resign and give way to NSCN (IM). But does this mean that Nagaland would eventually be reduced and equated with all the other RADCs of Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh as an affiliate to the Pan Naga Hoho being projected as the Supreme Naga Council...a Naga Parliament of sort, "with legislative, budgetary and negotiating powers"? Would the Nagas of Nagaland accept the inconceivable reduction of their full fledged State to that of RADCs equivalent from other States to fit into the Pan Naga Hoho scenario? The other possible aspect that comes out from the woodwork is that as an equal affiliate of the Pan Naga Hoho, to which Nagaland also becomes just another member like the rest of RADCs from Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh, any member from any of the affiliated states will derive a legitimate claim to becoming the Chairman of the Collective Ledership or the Supreme Naga Council. Does this ring a bell? Does this simply mean that Mr. Muivah, (along with the hoard of other Tangkhul brothers), is paving a way to get a legitimate vehicle of entry into Nagaland, which they cannot under the present circumstances as Manipuri Nagas, riding on Pan Naga Hoho on the basis of physical integration being the end game projection even if practically 'pending'? What uncomfortably brings to the fore in addition is the factual status of the present Naga Hoho, (which in effect is actually a Pan Naga Hoho) where Nagas of Nagaland are a minority within the forum that originally belonged to them. Is this existing farce of a setup being intended for replication?

Learning from history, the NPC in its hurry to create a State had left the issue of integration and the State boundary pending for future consideration which never happened. Is NSCN (IM) inclined to accept the same deceptive argument of the GoI and hurriedly plunge into a settlement without the issue of integration and the 'National' boundary being resolved? The uniqueness of the Naga History is equally applicable to all the other Naga inhabited areas and therefore reclaiming our birthright by undoing the past arbitrary injustice of fragmenting and gifting the Naga inhabited areas to other states in the first place is a legitimate honourable claim even if it leads to further chaos in the North-eastern States for which the Nagas need not feel guilty about. True, chaos may be generated by other North-eastern States but so can Nagas if this original arbitrary injustice is not righted. If this matter is left unattended to before the final settlement, the complexity will get further compounded and vitiated after Nagaland

assumes a separate looking entity from India and history will repeat itself for certain.

Agreement No. 3(three) can perhaps be seen as the most contentious aspect of the lot concerning the Indian Parliament enactment of a Special Naga Law which will be incorporated in the Indian Constitution.

The NSCN (IM) may call it the Naga Constitution but it will nevertheless become an integral part of the Indian Constitution.

This is where NSCN (IM) ought to honestly see and concede that, the "Framework Agreement" scenario as presented by Mr. Bharat Bhushan (Agreement No. Three) if true, is not very different from the "Shillong Accord 1975" or the "16-Point Agreement" that they vehemently condemn... an ultimate capitulation to the Indian Constitution, no matter whichever way English words and phrases are twisted and used to make it look or sound more honourable... in its final analogy. The rest is simply an exercise of refinement on the existing Article 371 (A)/ 16-Point Agreement with more specific details being added. It should be remembered that NPC was able to salvage a significant status of a foreign entity when Nagaland was originally placed under the Foreign Affairs Ministry with Consolidated funding pattern, which was unilaterally undone by GoI without due process, consultation or consent by the Naga people but the gullible Nagas of that generation did not even realise that they were surreptitiously hoodwinked... for no fault of NPC. One can only hope that the NSCN (IM) can revive the original status of a 'foreign entity' while working on the final details but the present face value of the "Framework Agreement" significantly assumes an epic proportion of the last nail being driven into "sovereignty" coffin that the Nagas have fought for all these years.

Having said this however, the present generation of pragmatic Nagas may not necessarily be too averse to the new "Global Village" concept or the European sovereignty experience where a common currency called 'Euros' overrides their respective Sovereign political boundaries for their common economic wellbeing.

Therefore, instead of exhibiting a belligerent arrogance on such a hyper contentious matter of a "full-fledged sovereignty" that they are not about to achieve, NSCN (IM) ought to exercise temperance and humility and coordinate with all the other NPGs on equal terms to get them on board and let them also understand the complexities involved and come to terms together. There is no room for unpalatable selfish EGO at a pressurised time such as this. They need burry their insufferable ego. This is the only way forward for a permanent peace in our land.

Chinese President Xi Jinping goes down the stage after a speach on the opening ceremony of CICA, at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing on 28 April, 2016. (REUTERS)

BEIJING, May 3 (REutERs): China’s ruling Communist Party is not trying to curtail internal debate or even criticism with rules banning “baseless comments” but is simply trying to ensure no one is “singing out of tune”, President Xi Jinping has said.

Xi has come down hard on corruption since assuming office more than three years ago and tried to return the party to its traditional values of serving the people selflessly, following a series of graft and extravagance scandals.

Along with his fight against corruption, Xi has also been

reining in overt dissent by party members on key issues as he seeks to enforce party discipline, especially on tackling graft, with new party rules unveiled last year banning “baseless comments” on major policies. In a January speech, the full transcript of which was carried by the party’s official People’s Daily on Tuesday, Xi said some party members had been feigning compliance with policy and even openly expressing opposition.

“Some party organisations think political discipline is soft or false, and when it comes to wrong words and deeds that

go against party discipline they don’t care, don’t report it, don’t resist it, don’t fight it and certainly don’t investigate and deal with it,” Xi told the party’s anti-graft watchdog.

“The reason we demand party members and cadres not to make baseless comments is not so you can’t raise opinions and suggestions or even critical opinions,” he said. “It’s so that on important political principles, on issues of right and wrong (you) cannot sing out of tune with the party centre and engage in political liberalism.”

The party periodically warns against “liberalism”, especially in the military, which generally refers to those who wish to challenge the extent of party control over China.

Speaking more generally about corruption, Xi said the fight against the problem remained “severe and complex”.

Without naming individuals, he said some officials cared only about forming their own cliques to advance their careers - something the party has long railed against as a root cause of corruption.

There has been persistent speculation that the graft crackdown is as much about Xi taking down his rivals as it is about dealing with the actual problem itself. The party denies this.

NEw yoRk, May 3 (IaNs): Antibiotics are essential for fighting bacterial infection, but, paradoxically, they can also make the body more prone to infection and diarrohea by allowing gut pathogens to “breathe”, says a study.

Antibiotics benefit pathogen growth by disrupting oxygen levels and fibre processing in the gut, the study said. The findings, published in the journal Cell Host Microbe, could lead to development of new strategies to prevent the side effects of antibiotic treatment.

Exactly how the resident “good” microbes in the gut protect against pathogens, such as Salmonella, and how antibiotic treatments foster growth of disease-causing microbes have been poorly understood. But the new research in a mouse model has identified the chain of events that occur within the gut lumen after antibiotic treatment that allow “bad” bugs to flourish.

The process begins with antibiotics depleting “good” bacteria in the gut, including those that breakdown fibre from vegetables to create butyrate, an essential organic acid that cells lining the large intestine need as an energy source to absorb water, said lead researcher Andreas Baumler, professor at University of California Davis Health System in the US. The reduced ability to metabolise fibre prevents these cells from consuming oxygen, increasing oxygen levels in the gut lumen that favour the growth of Salmonella. Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrohea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection, according to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“Unlike Clostridia and other beneficial microbes in the gut, which grow anaerobically, or in the complete absence of oxygen, Salmonella flourished in the newly created oxygen-rich micro environment after antibiotic treatment,” Baumler said. “In essence, antibiotics enabled pathogens in the gut to breathe,” Baumler noted.

Newly discovered planets may boost search for life beyond Earth

CaPE CaNaVERaL, May 3 (REutERs): The discovery of three planets that circle a small, dim star could bolster the chances of finding life beyond Earth, astronomers said on Monday.

that provides the right amount of heat for there to be liquid water on their surface, a condition scientists believe may be critical for fostering life. The discovery marked the first time that planets were found orbiting a common type of star known as an ultra-cool dwarf, the scientists said.

“If we want to find life elsewhere in the universe,

this is where we should start to look,” Michael Gillon of the University of Liege in Belgium, lead author of the research published in the journal Nature, said in a statement.

The discovery was made using Europe’s Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope, or TRAPPIST, located at the La Silla Observatory in Chile.

The telescope finds planets by looking for changes in the amount of light coming from a star that may be caused by a planet passing by the telescope’s line of sight. The smaller the background star, the easier it is to detect and measure these transiting planets.

Though the newly found planets are about the

size of Earth, their host star is just 8 percent of the size of the sun and less than a half a percent as bright, the scientists said.

So far, astronomers have found more than 2,000 planets beyond the solar system and are developing techniques to scan planets’ atmospheres for gases related to biological activities.

Jolie sick with mysterious illness

A

mid continuous rumors about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce, the actor got “openly emotional” while shooting his latest movie “Allied” in the U.K., the Inquisitr reported.

The news comes just a day after reports surfaced that the couple was “leading separate lives.”

However, the Inquisitr reported that Pitt’s emotional outbreak might not be linked to the rumors surrounding him and Jolie. While concerns grow over Jolie’s health crisis, Pitt has been shooting for his World War II romance drama. Pitt has also been trying to brave the U.K. weather to shoot for the film, the report said.

Despite being busy with his new project, Pitt recently rushed to Jolie’s side amid her mysterious illness, Life & Style magazine reported. According to Life & Style, Jolie initially fell sick in Cambodia last year while shooting her upcoming movie, “First They Killed My Father.” However, Gossip Cop de-

The missing girls were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School in Borno State by Islamist extremists Boko Haram. Last month (Apr16), their captors released a video showing 15 girls who appeared to be some of the girls. The video was apparently taken in December, 2015.

“Brad in particular is excited to have someone to go drinking with, [but] Angie thinks Ben is a terrible influence,” an insider told the magazine. “Angie thinks Ben’s single status spells trouble. She doesn’t want Brad playing wingman, so he’ll be on a very short leash.” Several reports have claimed that Jolie was paranoid over Pitt’s flirting, and this was tearing their marriage apart.

India wants Julia Roberts Enjoy doing films irrespective to lead tourism campaign of region, language: Aishwarya

O

fficials are hoping Tourism Minister Mahesh Sharma and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will OK a plan to approach the Pretty Woman star, who fell in love with India while she was shooting the film adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert’s bestseller Eat, Pray, Love and ask her to help boost the country’s image overseas.

In the film, Roberts played a woman experimenting with Hindu spirituality while travelling in India. A senior tourism ministry official tells the Telegraph, “The plan has to be approved before we approach the actress, but having an international face recognised for practising yoga is crucial for the success of the campaign.

“The actress is an Indophile and keeps coming to the country incognito.

The 48-year-old Oscarwinning actress appears to be a good fit for the campaign as she’s a big yoga fan who has reportedly mastered Pratyahara, one of the eight pillars of yoga.

Hindu leaders approve of the idea because Roberts is considered one of Hollywood’s most “Hindufriendly” celebrities. She named her film production company Red Om in hon-

our of the Hindu word for God and the Universe.

Hindu statesman Rajan Zed tells WENN, “We welcome the idea of projecting Roberts as the face of

yoga in India campaign, as in 2010 she reportedly confessed of being a practising Hindu who went to the temple to chant and pray and celebrate, and she prescribed yoga to others.”

Zed, who is the president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, adds, “Some reports in the Indian media in the past suggested that she was planning to buy a house in India near one of Hinduism’s holy cities, thus becoming the first Hollywood star to do so. In her interviews to Indian media in the past, she was quoted as saying: ‘I’ve received real spiritual satisfaction through Hinduism’.”

he was one of the first artistes from India to make a name on the global platform but actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan says she enjoys being a part of all kinds of movies irrespective of their language or region.

Bollywood actresses Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone are a part of major franchise films in Hollywood while Aishwarya starred in international projects like “Bride & Prejudice”, “Pink Panther 2”, “Mistress of Spices” and “Provoked”.

When asked whether she thought the international filmmakers are opening up to casting Indian stars, Aishwarya said, “Kudos to all the professionals who are doing all kinds of cinema... I don’t think cinema needs to be localised. That has always been my attitude.”

The actress, 42, said she has always believed in doing a variety of roles and that reflects in her filmography.

“I have never been the one to make a hullabaloo about where the film is being made... that has been

my attitude and continues to be. That’s why I have had the wonderful opportunities of working in south Indian films, Hindi cinema, Bengali movies and a couple of English films.

Flame lands in troubled Brazil for 94-day relay to Games

BRasiLia, May 3 (ReuteRs): President Dilma Rousseff lit the Olympic torch in Brazil's capital on Tuesday and pledged that political turmoil engulfing her nation would not harm the first Games to be held in South America.

The Olympic flame was flown into Brasilia on Tuesday to start a three-month relay through more than 300 towns and cities that will end with the opening of the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro's Maracaná stadium on Aug. 5.

A smiling Rousseff waved to crowds as she lit a green cauldron with the Olympic flame on the ramp of Brasilia's modernistic Planalto presidential palace.

The president, who is facing impeachment proceedings, will likely be removed from office before the opening ceremony in Rio.

"Even though we are living through a truly critical period in our history and the history of our democracy, Brazil will know how to offer athletes and visitors the best welcome at the Olympics," she said.

Rousseff said the sports facilities in Rio and the security measures to protect athletes, tourists and visiting heads of state were ready.

Brazil has scrambled to prepare for its second global sports event in two years in the midst of the worst recession since the 1930s and a massive corruption scandal that shook the political establishment and fueled demands for Rousseff's removal. Brazil is also fighting an outbreak of the mosquito-borne Zika virus that threatens to keep some athletes and tourists away from Rio.

The Olympic flame, burning inside four golden lamps, arrived in Brasilia aboard a LATAM Airlines jetliner that was escorted inside Brazil's airspace by two Brazilian Air Force F-5 fighters.

The torch left the presidential palace carried by Fabiana Claudino, who led Brazil's female volleyball team to a gold medal in the 2012 Games.

Hundreds of cheering Brazilian lined the streets at the start of the relay and an Air Force aerobatics team swooped over central Brasilia.

Some 12,000 torch bearers will carry the flame across South America's largest country. In Brasilia, they will include a refugee from the Syrian civil war, 12-yearold Hanan Daqqah, who arrived in Brazil with her family in 2015.

Kosovo accepted as member of UEFA

membership is against UEFA's statutes. ''The foundations of European soccer were shaken today. This could lead to serious divisions in the continent's competitions,'' Serbian ruling party official Marko Djuric said. ''They can only dream that our fight is over and that their UEFA membership is definite.''

In Kosovo, the impoverished state of some two million people, there was an outpouring of joy after the UEFA decision. ''Best news! Kosovo is the newest member of UEFA,'' Kosovo President Hashim Thaci wrote on his Twitter page. ''Thank you all those who voted 'yes' for our children and youth co compete in football.''

Kosovo has sought international recognition

through sports since declaring independence.

UEFA supported Kosovo's case after resisting previous efforts by FIFA in 2012 to let its national and club teams play opponents from other countries.

Tuesday's decision means Kosovo's national team may play internationals against other European sides, and that it and its clubs can enter European competitions.

Kosovo could now be fast-tracked into FIFA and the 2018 World Cup qualifying program. The country needs to be accepted as a FIFA member before it can enter a qualifying group.

FIFA's ruling council meets in Mexico City on Monday, and can send Kosovo's application for a decision by the FIFA congress four days later.

Amazing Leicester celebrate fairytale Premier League success

LONDON, May 3 (ReuteRs): Leicester City's Premier League title dream became reality on Monday when one of the greatest sporting fairytales reached its conclusion in west London where chasing Tottenham Hotspur were held 2-2

by Chelsea.

The result provoked an outpouring of celebration in the provincial English city and as far away as Thailand and Japan, while Leicester's players had watched nervously on television along with Foxes fans packed into local bars 160km away.

Goals from Tottenham's Harry Kane and Son Heung-min had looked like extending the title race to the penultimate week of what has been an unforgettable season.

But Gary Cahill gave Chelsea a lifeline before the hour and Eden Hazard, whose goals helped the Blues win the title last year, curled in a superb 83rd-minute equaliser to deflate Spurs and confirm Leicester as champions for the first time.

As tempers flared at the end of a red-hot London derby at Stamford Bridge, television pictures cut away to Leicester's players celebrating in the living room of their striker Jamie Vardy, whose 22 goals have underpinned his side's challenge.

Elsewhere in Leicester,

the city's biggest ever party began in earnest, with hundreds of fans gathering outside the stadium and thousands more celebrating in pubs and bars.

Leicester's unlikely journey from no-hopers to English champions has captivated sports fans worldwide, nowhere more so than in Thailand, home of the club's owners King Power.

Claudio Ranieri, the former Chelsea manager who has masterminded Leicester's rise since taking over at the start of the season, was celebrating the first major league title of his long managerial career.

"I'm so proud," the Italian, who was favourite in August to become the first

manager to be sacked, said.

"I never expected this when I arrived. I'm a pragmatic man, I just wanted to win match after match and help my players to improve week after week. Never did I think too much about where it would take us."

Defender Wes Morgan, who scored a vital equaliser in the 1-1 draw at Manchester United on Sunday, said: "Saturday can't come quickly enough. I can't wait to get my hands on the trophy."

With two games left, Leicester are seven points ahead of Tottenham and Saturday's home match against Everton will now become a glorious celebration for a club who were in the third tier of English soc-

cer just seven years ago.

"Congratulations to Leicester City and to Claudio Ranieri. A fantastic season," Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said. "It's a massive, amazing season for Leicester, Claudio the players and the fans. They deserve it."

Unfashionable Leicester, 5,000-1 outsiders at the start of the season, have become English champions for the first time and are the first club to win a maiden English title since Nottingham Forest in 197778, having left the likes of Manchester City and United, Chelsea and Arsenal in their wake.

Oddly, the biggest match in Leicester's his-

tory was one they were not involved in as the final act of an absorbing title race was played out between last year's champions and a Tottenham side who have refused to give up the chase.

But Ranieri's intrepid team had already done the damage, churning out results to stay top of the table since Jan. 23 while their rivals fell by the wayside.

Since losing to Arsenal on Feb. 14, they won seven and drew three of their next 10 games.

Incredibly, Leicester spent half of last season bottom of the league before a late surge lifted them clear of relegation.

With Ranieri replacing Nigel Pearson as manager, they continued that momentum and from being pre-season tips for the drop, became title contenders as former non-league journeyman Vardy scored in a record 11 consecutive Premier League games.

Even when they hit the top in January, many thought Leicester would fade, as they did in 1963, the last time they were in with a chance of the title.

As the chasing pack thinned, however, Tottenham hung on to Leicester's coat tails but substitute Hazard's late goal sealed the destiny of the title, which left bookmakers up and down the country licking their wounds to the tune of millions of pounds.

Threats force Afghan boy, fan of Messi, to leave country

KaBuL, May 3 (aP): The father of a 5-year-old Afghan boy who received autographed shirts from his soccer hero Lionel Messi says the family was forced to leave Afghanistan amid constant telephone threats.

Mohammad Arif Ahmadi whose son grabbed headlines when he was photographed wearing a homemade Argentina shirt with No 10 on the back says they have moved to Pakistan and settled in the city

of Quetta, hoping for a better life there.

Ahmadi spoke to The Associated Press over the telephone from Quetta today.

He says he feared that his son, Murtaza Ahmadi, would be kidnapped after becoming an internet sensation after pictures of him wearing a Messi shirt made out of a striped plastic bag went viral.

The father says "life became a misery for us.
