As international cricket resumes for the first time since the March lockdown, here is a glimpse of what is going on behind the scenes. HiIndia Newsdesk International cricket will restart on Wednesday, 117 days after the coronavirus pandemic had brought a screeching halt to all live action in March. England and West Indies will resume proceedings in the first Test at the Ageas Bowl, but the two teams will be playing behind closed doors in a ‘biosecure bubble’. Only a limited number of people can access these areas, including the players, who will be put up at hotels on site. All of them will be regularly tested. Media movement will also be restricted, with a diminished headcount than usual. Maintaining social distance, daily temperature checks, and filing daily health reports are part of the new norms. Further, areas have been demarcated into various perimeters with testing sites spanning 1500- 2000 sq. meters, and green

zones designating where particular groups are able to be within the “inner core” of the venues (such as the on-site hotel or field of play). England pacer Mark Wood has admitted that training inside a bio-secure bubble has been a “weird” experience and something similar to a “sci-fi movie”. “It’s a bit like a sci-fi movie,” Wood was quoted as saying by the Evening Standard. “Everybody’s masked up and you can’t see anybody. You don’t know if they’re friendly or not! It’s a bit different and a bit weird, but it’s just something we’ll have to get used to,” he added. West Indies pacer Oshane Thomas says the experience hasn’t been that bad after all. “In terms of how long things will be like this, we really have to wait and see.

With 11363 runs and 22 ODI hundreds to his name, Ganguly goes down as one of India’s best opening batsmen that has ever been produced by Indian cricket. Apart from his batting records, Ganguly is also hailed as one of the best captains of Indian Cricket team and is often credited for revolutionising the team in early 2000s. Under his leadership, India went on to beat Australia in Test series in 2001, beat England at Lord’s to win 2002 Natwest Trophy, reached 2003 ODI World Cup final, drew against England in Test series in 2004, and even defeated Pakistan in a Test series in 2005.

When Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris confronted Son Heung-min on the field at halftime, Jose Mourinho was far from annoyed. The manager renowned for his own flashpoints and volatility was delighted to see tensions between teammates erupting in public view. “It was beautiful,” he said. “Probably it’s a consequence of our meetings.” Angered by the timidity of a 3-1 loss at Sheffield United in the previous English Premier League round, Mourinho saw the passion he wanted as Tottenham

this time secured a 1-0 victory over Everton on Monday. Just before the break, with Tottenham leading, Son lost the ball which led to Richarlison having a chance to equalize but striking wide of Lloris’ post. “I think to concede a chance a few seconds before halftime because we don’t make the pressing properly,” Lloris said, “that annoys me but it’s part of football. Move on.” Only, Lloris didn’t when the whistle blew for halftime, shouting as he raced over to Son. Giovani Lo Celso and Harry Winks intervened to split the clashing teammates.

As former India captain and the ‘Dada’ of Indian Cricket turns 48, here is a look at five decisions that Ganguly took as captain that changed the face of Indian cricket.

Trump ‘cannot block records’

Apex court allows NY prosecutors to see President’s financial details

The court’s decision in favour of the New York prosecutors was a major statement on the scope and limits of presidential power

HiIndia Newsdesk The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for prosecutors in New York to see President Trump’s financial records, a stunning defeat for Trump but a decision that probably means the records will be shielded from public scrutiny under grand jury secrecy rules until after the election, and perhaps indefinitely. In a separate decision, the court ruled that Congress could not, at least for now, see many of the same records. The vote in both cases was 7 to 2. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr wrote both majority opinions. The court’s decision in favour of the New York prosecutors was a major statement on the scope and limits of presidential power, one that will take its place with landmark rulings that required President Richard M. Nixon to turn over tapes of Oval Office conversations and forced President Bill Clinton to provide evidence in a sexual harassment suit.

Trump ‘cannot block records’ Apex court allows NY prosecutors to see President’s financial details

The court’s decision in favour of the New York prosecutors was a major statement on the scope and limits of presidential power

US will respond if Russia bounty reports are true, says Pentagon

US sanctions Chinese officials over repression of minorities

HiIndia Newsdesk Top Pentagon leaders told Congress on Thursday that reports of Russia offering Taliban militants bounties for killing Americans were not corroborated by defense intelligence agencies, but said they are looking into it and the US will respond if necessary. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said his military commanders heard initial reports on the bounties in January and he first saw an intelligence paper about it in February. While the threats were taken seriously, he said they have not yet been found credible. Esper and Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were testifying before the House Armed Services Committee on the role of the military during recent protests triggered by the killing of George Floyd. Several House members asked about the Russian bounty reports.

HiIndia Newsdesk The United States on Thursday imposed sanctions on three senior officials of the Chinese Communist Party, including a member of the ruling Politburo, for alleged human rights abuses targeting ethnic and religious minorities that China has detained in the western part of the country. The decision to bar these senior officials from entering the US is the latest of a series of actions the Trump administration has

taken against China as relations deteriorate over the coronavirus pandemic, human rights, Hong Kong and trade. Just a day earlier, the administration had announced visa bans against officials deemed responsible for barring foreigners’ access to Tibet. Thursday’s step, however, hits a more senior level of leadership and is likely to draw a harsh response from Beijing. The measures come as President Donald Trump has increasingly sought to blame China for the spread of COVID-19 in the United States and beyond and accuse his presumptive challenger in November’s election, former Vice President Joe Biden, of being soft on China. They follow an allegation in a new book by former national security adviser John Bolton that Trump told Chinese President Xi Jinping he was right to build detention camps to house hundreds of thousands of ethnic minorities.

136 Congressmen and 30 Senators seek reversal of US decision on international students The administration should consider the wisdom of these earlier exemptions and cease the finalisation of their modifications, the Congressmen wrote in the letter.

HiIndia Newsdesk A group of 30 US Senators and 136 Congressmen — all from the opposition Democratic Party — has urged the President Donald Trump-led administration to reverse its order that bars international students from staying in the country if they do not have in-person classes to attend next semester. In separate letters to Acting Secretary, Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf and Acting Secretary, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Matthew Albence, the lawmakers expressed

concern over the ICE’s recently announced modifications to the Student Exchange and Visitor Program (SEVP). In its July 6 order, the ICE declared that non-immigrant F-1 and M-1 students attending schools operating entirely online or taking only online courses will not be permitted to take a full course load and remain in the United States. The modifications also limited many students at normally operating schools from taking more than one class or three credit hours online in order to remain in the country.

US bans Pakistan International Airlines flights over pilot concerns HiIndia Newsdesk The US Department of Transportation said it has revoked permission for Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) to conduct charter flights to the United States, citing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) concerns over Pakistani pilot certifications. The information is contained in a revocation of special authorisation dated July 1 provided by the department to Reuters on Friday. Pakistan last month grounded almost a third of its pilots after discovering they may have falsified their qualifications.

US will respond if Russia bounty reports are true, says Pentagon

PM Narendra Modi said Madhya Pradesh will emerge as a major hub for clean and cheap power in the country.

HiIndia Newsdesk Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday launched Asia’s largest solar plant in Madhya Pradesh’s Rewa through video-conferencing and said the state will emerge as a major hub for clean and cheap power in the country. “Not just for the present, solar energy will be a medium of energy needs of the 21st century because solar power is sure, pure and secure and the country is now among the top five solar power producers in the world.

The Rewa project comprises three solar generating units of 250 MW each located on a 500 hectare plot of land situated inside a Solar Park (total area 1500 hectare). The Solar Park was developed by the Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Limited (RUMSL), a joint venture company of Madhya Pradesh Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (MPUVN), and Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), a Central Public Sector Undertaking.

Pangong Tso in focus as troops 1 lakh km of road built using plastic disengage at 3 friction points waste, govt aims to double it This clears the decks for another round of talks, especially on Pangong Tso where even after some thinning out, Chinese troops are still present in large numbers at Finger 4 on the northern banks of the lake.

HiIndia Newsdesk Chinese and Indian forces Thursday stepped back 2 km from Patrolling Point 17A at the Gogra post, the third friction point — PP 14 in Galwan Valley and PP 15 in Hot Springs sector being the other two — as part of the first round of disengagement on the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh. This clears the decks for another round of talks, especially on Pangong Tso where even after some thinning out, Chinese troops are still present in large numbers at Finger 4 on the northern banks of the lake — they have come in 8 km, west of Finger 8 which India says marks the LAC.

In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said: “Following the consensus reached at the commanderlevel talks, the Chinese and India border troops have been taking effective measures to disengage at Galwan Valley and other areas in the western sector. The overall situation at the China-India boundary is stable and ameliorating.” “The two sides will continue to maintain dialogue and communication through military and diplomatic channels, including holding a new round of commander-level talks and the meeting of the Working Mechanism for C onsultation and Coordination on India-China Border Affairs. We hope India will work with China towards the same goal to implement consensus reached between the two sides with concrete actions and jointly deescalate tensions in the border region,” he said.

A worker at the construction site of the first plastic road in Gurugram, in 2018.

HiIndia Newsdesk The central government has been using plastic waste in road construction to properly utilise the material which otherwise is not recycled. So far, one lakh kilometre of road has been constructed using plastic waste. The construction of every kilometre of road required nine tonnes of bitumen and one tonne of plastic waste. This means for every kilometre of road, one tonne bitumen is saved, which costs about Rs 30,000. Plastic roads consist of 6-8 per cent plastic, while 92-94 per cent is bitumen. Union minister Nitin Gadkari had announced the usage of plastic waste

in road construction in 2016. Since then, plastic waste has been used in constructing one lakh kilometre of road in 11 states. In this financial year, the figure will double. The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) used plastic waste in its roads for the first time in 2018. The MCG has now made the use of plastic waste mandatory in the construction of arterial roads. Assam started using the waste material from this year. Plastic has been used in the 270-kilometre-long Jammu Kashmir National highway. About 1.6 tonne of plastic waste was used in the two-kilometrelong stretch of Delhi-Meerut highway news UP Gate.

Missing Seoul mayor’s body found after massive search

Chinese ambassador Hou Yanqi, who has been meeting leaders on both sides, held talks Thursday with Prachanda. HiIndia Newsdesk The ruling Nepal Communist Party was staring at a split Thursday after efforts to mediate a settlement between Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli and the rival camp led by former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ failed to make headway. Chinese ambassador Hou Yanqi, who has been meeting leaders on both sides, held talks Thursday with Prachanda. Sources said while Prachanda stuck to his demand that Oli must step down as Prime Minister, he told Hou that no matter how this crisis ends, it will not affect ties between the Nepal Communist Party and the Communist Party of China. On Wednesday, Oli told Prachanda that the party leadership or the position of the Prime Minister is something he needs to earn from the people, and not expect it as a “gift from me”. Both are chairpersons of the NCP. “If you are keen to be the sole chairperson of the party, face the party congress and win the election,” sources quoted Oli

Over 8 lakh Indians may be forced to leave as Kuwait approves expat quota bill The legal and legislative committee of Kuwait's National Assembly has approved the draft expat quota bill, according to which Indians should not exceed 15% of the population.

HiIndia Newsdesk Over 8 lakh Indians could be forced out of Kuwait if a new bill on expats is enacted into law, the Gulf News reported. The legal and legislative committee of Kuwait’s National Assembly has approved the draft expat quota bill, according to which Indians should not exceed 15% of the population. Anti-expat rhetoric has been on the rise since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic with lawmakers and government officials call for reducing the number of foreigners in Kuwait. The bill has been deemed constitutional and will now be transferred to the

respective committee so that a comprehensive plan is created, according to reports. Of the 4.3 million population of Kuwait, expats account for 3 million. The Indian community constitutes the largest expat community in Kuwait, totaling 1.45 million, the report added. Last month, Kuwait’s prime minister, Sheikh Sabah Al Khalid Al Sabah, proposed decreasing the number of expats from 70 per cent to 30 per cent of the population. Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanem told Kuwait TV that he and a group of lawmakers will submit to the Assembly a comprehensive draft law calling for a gradual reduction of expats in Kuwait. The Speaker said the draft law they intend to file will propose to impose a cap on the number of expats, whose numbers must decrease gradually by stating that this year expats will be 70 per cent, next year 65 per cent and so on, the report said. According to the Indian embassy in Kuwait, there are about 28,000 Indians working for the Kuwaiti Government in various jobs like nurses, engineers in national oil companies and a few as scientists. The majority of Indians (5.23 Lakh) are deployed in private sectors. In addition, there are about 1.16 lakh dependents. Out of these, there are about 60,000 Indian students studying in 23 Indian schools in the country.

What happens to Indian students enrolled in universities in United States? HiIndia Newsdesk The United States Immigration and Customs Department (ICE) has shut the doors on international students pursuing courses that have gone fully online due to the coronavirus outbreak. The July 6 directive means that Indian students who are in the United States on an F-1 student visa or M-1 visa for vocational education will have to come back home if the course has gone online. It holds true for institutions like Harvard University as well. If the classes are online-only, the student may not be allowed to stay in the US. In a statement, ICE said the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) had announced modifications to temporary exemptions for non-immigrant students taking online classes due to the pandemic for the fall 2020 semester. “Non-immigrant F-1 and M-1 students attending schools operating entirely online may not take a full online course load and remain in the United States. The US Department of State will not issue visas to students enrolled in schools and/or programmes that are fully online for the fall semester nor will US Customs and Border Protection permit these students to enter the United States,” the ICE statement said.

Indian students to benefit from UK's three- SOS from Indian expat stuck at Frankfurt airport for 3 days year PhD post-study visa programme

HiIndia Newsdesk The United Kingdom officially announced that as part of the new Graduate Route, international students who complete a PhD can stay in the country for three years after their studies, from summer 2021.

n June 22, 2020, President Trump signed an executive order freezing new visas for foreign workers through the end of 2020. In terms of grand strategy, the executive order raises an important question: Will restricting immigration help or hurt the United States in the larger scheme of things? Although the reason cited for the sweeping new policy is to preserve jobs amid the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, this is still a gain for immigration hardliners in the administration. They have pushed to bring down the overall number of immigrants admitted into the country for years, even before the pandemic, despite the fact that immigrants own more than one in five small businesses and are more than 20 percent more likely to own such a business than a nativeborn person. According to a recent study by New American Economy, nearly 44 percent

Undergraduate and master’s graduates will be able to stay for two years after study. Indian students are among the biggest group of international students set to benefit from the extended post-study work visa offer as well as a more streamlined visa process. As part of a wider Research and Development Roadmap, the British government has pledged to make it easier for international graduates to secure skilled jobs in the UK and contribute to its economic growth. “This will make it easier for some of the best, young international graduates to secure skilled jobs in the UK and contribute to economic growth,” noted a UK government statement.

Priya Mehta, an advertising professional, travelled from San Francisco International Airport (US) to Frankfurt (Germany) to catch a connecting flight to Dubai on July 4.

I asked so many people... everyone said it was okay and Dubai was allowing residents back into the country," she added.

made substantial investments over the years to develop an image of valuable education and excellent opportunities. Closing itself off to ideas and innovation has never been a foundational idea of this nation. If the United States somehow decides to close and limit itself now, it will have great repercussions for the nation. In these turbulent times, a knee-jerk reaction like the executive order banning skilled immigration threatens to tarnish everything that the United States stands for. This is the time for America to lead and reinforce its standing as a global power. It is the time when the nation should remind the world what it truly stands for—stability, growth, and cooperation. Otherwise, an America that closes its doors will be an America that chooses to settle rather than grow, that has allowed security to trump dynamism. It is time for America to be America again—to honor its people and their contribution equally

With 11363 runs and 22 ODI hundreds to his name, Ganguly goes down as one of India’s best opening batsmen that has ever been produced by Indian cricket. Apart from his batting records, Ganguly is also hailed as one of the best captains of Indian Cricket team and is often credited for revolutionising the team in early 2000s.

However, there are a lot of myths regarding the effects of pranayama practice and techniques on health-related outcomes. Pranayama (can use any position — lotus, kneeling seated): Kapalabhati Method: 1. Inhale through both nostrils (passive) and rapidly exhale out pushing abdominal diaphragm upward (active) 2. 60-120 breaths per minute (progress slowly) Implication: 1. Increase heart rate 2.

You've Been Washing Your Hands All Wrong Germ experts explain the best method for cleaning your mitts, especially after visiting a hospital—or the mall.

t’s been drilled into you since you were a kid: Wash your hands after going to the bathroom, before you eat, and after you do anything dirty. And the majority of us do—most of the time. But new research has found that we’re not doing the best we can to promote good hand hygiene. In a new study published in the journal Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, scientists from Glasgow University say the World Health Organization’s (WHO) eight-step handwashing process (yup, eight) is better at killing germs than the five-step process recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes often develop slowly. In fact, you can have type 2 diabetes for years and not know it. Look for:

Increased thirst and frequent urination

(CDC). And other research shows that we're not even adhering to that simpler standard as it is. For comparison, here’s the CDC’s method: Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Rinse your hands well under clean, running water. Dry your hands using a clean towel or airdry them.

Understanding Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 diabetes, once known as adult-onset or noninsulindependent diabetes, is a chronic condition that affects the way your body metabolizes sugar (glucose), your body's important source of fuel.

Excess sugar building up in your bloodstream causes fluid to be pulled from the tissues. This may leave you thirsty. As a result, you may drink—and urinate—more than usual.

Increased hunger

Without enough insulin to move sugar into your cells, your muscles and organs become depleted of energy. This triggers intense hunger.

Weight loss

Despite eating more than usual to relieve hunger, you may lose weight. Without the ability to metabolize glucose, the body uses alternative fuels stored in muscle and fat. Calories are lost as excess glucose is released in the urine.

Fatigue

If your cells are deprived of sugar, you may become tired and irritable.

Blurred vision.

If your blood sugar is too high, fluid may

be pulled from the lenses of your eyes. This may affect your ability to focus.

Causes

Type 2 diabetes develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or when the pancreas stops producing enough insulin. Exactly why this happens is unknown, although genetics and environmental factors, such as excess weight and inactivity, seem to be contributing factors.

Prevention

Healthy lifestyle choices can help you prevent type 2 diabetes. Even if you have

diabetes in your family, diet and exercise can help you prevent the disease. If you've already received a diagnosis of diabetes, you can use healthy lifestyle choices to help prevent complications. And if you have prediabetes, lifestyle changes can slow or halt the progression from prediabetes to diabetes.

Eat healthy foods

Choose foods lower in fat and calories and higher in fiber. Focus on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Get physical

Aim for a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day. Take a brisk daily walk. Ride a bike. Swim laps. If you can't fit in a long workout, spread 10-minute or longer sessions throughout the day.

Lose excess pounds

If you're overweight, losing 7 percent of your body weight can reduce the risk of diabetes. To keep your weight in a healthy range, focus on permanent changes to your eating and exercise habits. Motivate yourself by remembering the benefits of losing weight, such as a healthier heart, more energy, and improved self-esteem.

Prevention

Healthy lifestyle choices can help you prevent type 2 diabetes. Even if you have diabetes in your family, diet and exercise can help you prevent the disease. If you've already received a diagnosis of diabetes, you can use healthy lifestyle choices to help prevent complications.

Deepika says, "I just hated academics. It was never really a passion of mineeducation, learning. I always felt like I didn't have to go through academics to sort of be successful or be whatever." Reflecting on her school life, Deepika says, "Exams, tests, none of it ever made any sense to me. I'd say average or below average was where I usually sat. In high school it got to a place where temporarily I formed a new set of friends because my friends were so busy being head girl of the band, head girl of school, head girl of something else.

Whether it is a privilege or whether it is a curse, I came into the industry not because I was seeking to be a star or an actor,” he said, adding that he was approached for Aashiqui after Mahesh Bhatt met his mother for a completely different reason. Talking about why he chose to stay away from Bollywood, Rahul said that after he turned 30, he wanted to get married. “Being an actor, it is very difficult...I applaud those that can...but it is very difficult to do cinema as well as fulfil family responsibilities. Because cinema takes a lot out of you. When I got married (to model Rajlaxmi Khanvilkar) in 2000, I said, ‘Let’s take a break. Let me work on my personal relationship,’” he said.

Why I ‘walked away’ Rahul from Bollywood Roy

Rahul Roy revealed that he took a break from acting for a number of reasons, including his marriage and creative dissatisfaction.

Rahul also admitted that his films at the time were not doing very well and though he was getting offers, they did not excite him. “My growth as an actor had stagnated. You’re doing the same role again and again, and in that time, everybody’s perception is ki isko yehi karte raho (make him do the same thing). It was a combination of a lot of things,” he said. Rahul’s year-long sabbatical became longer, when Rajlaxmi wanted to move abroad. After moving to Australia, it became difficult for him to continue with a career in Bollywood. He said that though he tried to approach and meet a lot of people, nothing worked out. He also said that he could never understand the new ‘agency’ culture.

and went to work. That is the best way, according to me.” Abhishek took a break from acting a few years ago to revaluate and reenergise his craft, returning with Anurag Kashyap’s Manmarziyaan. He is now ready to make his digital debut with the Amazon Prime web series Breathe: Into The Shadows. What has changed for Abhishek 2.0? “I am doing the work I want to do, the way I want to do. Before this, I was happy coasting along. The selection process is more focussed now. I always knew what I want to do and what I didn’t want to do, I am just implementing it now.” Breathe releases July 10 and also stars Nithya Menen and Amit Sadh. Abhishek will also be seen on Disney+ Hotstar later this year as his film, The Big Bull, goes directly-to-digital.

Expecting fair play in the film industry would be like living in a fool’s paradise

nnu Kapoor, who plays a pivotal role in the film, rues that not everything is fair in this world. “Favouritism, hypocrisy, corruption have always been the integral part of the Indian society. The film industry is the byproduct of this society, so it exists there as well. Expecting a genuine and fair play would be like living in a fool’s paradise. They have money, power, so either you dance to their tunes or not — no argument, no reasoning,” he says, adding that, we live in a world of “diabolic people and at this

juncture, they’re only scared of corona”. After actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, the insider vs outsider debate was revived, and many actors came out and shared their experiences of facing favouritism in the industry. And Kapoor feels whether one wants or not, these discussions would bring about the “inevitable change”. He elaborates, “Indian frenzy or hatred towards their idols has never been based on any particular logic. Either they build temples for their film stars or they start hating them to the extent that they often pass verdicts to prosecute the target. At times, the media desperately needs this for their own benefit and triggers the speculations.” Citing examples of actors Dilip Kumar, Rajesh Khanna , Dharmendra , Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar, who never had any godfather, Kapoor says yet they made it big. “So we should stop prosecution of people based on these logics. And it’s the prerogative of producers to select or reject any one,” he ends.

The king of quirk fashion

Everything about Ranveer Singh screams ‘largerthan-life’ and his fashion sense only shines the spotlight on that.

Pride-inspired accessories

o talk of eccentric fashion and not take Ranveer Singh’s name in the same breath might be nearly as good as making a huge folly. His energy, passion and drive are unrivalled in Bollywood, and even perhaps the world. Everything about him screams ‘largerthan-life’ and his fashion sense only shines the spotlight on that. Since his Hindi film debut with Band Baaja Baarat, he has amassed countless accolades for his acting and out-of-the-world fashion sense. On the actor’s 35th birthday we want to appreciate and acknowledge a man, whose personality and style has influenced countless fashion designers to step up their game when it comes to styling him in a manner that befits his quirky personality. Ranveer Singh is just as comfortable in a kurta and ghaghara as he is in a tank top and jeans. He has been debunking fashion stereotypes with his originality and flamboyance and perhaps is the only man who can still pull off a top hat in this century. Pride month might be over but that doesn’t stop us from sporting the rainbow palette and supporting the LGBTQI+ rights. After all, fashion plays a pivotal role in changing the mindset of people and promoting acceptance and inclusivity in our society. Even a lot of high end brands left no stone unturned in support of the Pride month. And it was also time for us to take some fashion inspiration and opt for those multi-coloured accessories not just for one month but all year round. From rainbow coloured glittery masks to headgear. Headscarfs and headbands are the coolest trend of this season. And what trended even more were the rainbow-inspired headpieces

TECHNOLOGY A portable, USB-C powered monitor might be just the right thing to upgrade your laptop-only dining room workstation. You can set it up in seconds, it plugs into your computer with a single cable, and when you’re done for the day, you can close it up just as quickly as you close your laptop, allowing you to reclaim the space for other uses. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been testing the Ananta, a 17.3-inch, 1080p portable touchscreen monitor. It’s plugand-play with most modern laptops — just connect the included USB-C cable to your laptop and to the display; your computer should immediately recognize the monitor and power it on. It then provides you with an expansive second screen that’s likely bigger than the display inside your laptop.

A portable display can make working from your dining room table easier And you can take it all down in seconds when it’s time for dinner

orking from home (which many of us have been forced to do for the past few months, whether we want to or not) can be more productive than being in an office — provided you have a comfortable and functional place to work within your home. Unfortunately, for many who have been suddenly thrown into this situation, the best space they have to work is on a small laptop at a dining room table.

The Ananta can also be used as a display for many other devices, including a Nintendo Switch, a Raspberry Pi, a Blu-ray player, or even a desktop computer, though you’ll need to connect some of them with HDMI. If you have a recent Huawei or Samsung phone, you can use it to access their respective desktop modes. The Ananta comes with a magnetic case that acts as a kickstand, weighs about 2.4 pounds, and is less than six millimeters thick at its thinnest point. It’s about as portable as a 17.3-inch screen can be. The Ananta’s touch functionality is what makes it stand out among the many other USB-C displays available, and it even comes with a pressure-sensitive stylus for doodling or writing on the display.

Keep blood pressure in check These digital devices give a blood pressure reading as well as monitor pulse rate These digital devices give a blood pressure reading as well as monitor pulse rate. After a lot of research on the Internet and discussions with some doctor friends, wechose Dr Trust. It not only measures blood pressure and pulse rate accurately but is also effective in detecting an irregular heartbeat. Apart from detecting hypertension, this device is intelligent enough to spot even a slight change in pressure and display accurate readings. Just make sure that the cuff is wrapped properly and the body posture is right while you are monitoring the blood pressure. Unlike manual BP monitors that require you to pump a bulb in order to inflate the cuff yourself, automatic BP monitors inflate the cuff with a push of a button. The device comes with a talking feature — available in both English and Hindi —that spells out your systolic and diastolic pressure, and a warning if you need to rush to a doctor.

Lighter than it looks LG Gram 17

LG Gram 17 2020 specs

A massive laptop you probably don’t need

Seventeen! This laptop has a 17-inch screen. It also weighs 2.98 pounds. It’s very unusual to see a 17-inch laptop under four pounds — let alone under three. Couple that with a $1,499 starting price (our model currently goes for $1,699), and you’re looking at a pretty niche target demographic. For that niche, though, this laptop tracks. LG hasn’t reinvented the wheel; the 2020 Gram 17 is largely an iterative update to the 2019 model. The company has made some key improvements: the chassis and keyboard layout have received minor tweaks, the battery is bigger, and there’s a new 10th Gen Core i7-1065G7 under the hood. But the massive screen remains the singular reason to buy this laptop, so you should only spend $1,699 on this if you’re sure that’s what you want. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched the Aatmanirbhar Innovation Challenge, inviting India’s tech and community to create an Aatmanirbhar App Ecosystem. Earlier in the week, India banned 59 Chinese apps including popular apps like TikTok, SHAREit, and others amidst the anti-China sentiment due to tension on the India-China border. “This challenge is for you if you have such a working product or if you feel you have the vision and expertise to create such products.

UChicago Researchers Tracking How Far Covid-19 Virus Travels Through Air UCHICAGO NEWS RELEASE CHICAGO, IL - The CDC recently updated its guidance for avoiding COVID-19, saying that infection from touching surfaces is not the major way the virus spreads. The bigger risk is spending time with infected people. But although it’s clear that some virus particles move through air, how far and how widely they travel is still not understood. University of Chicago researchers are trying to change that. A new study is underway to monitor the air in the hospital rooms of patients at University of Chicago Medicine, which could help scientists uncover how airborne virus particles travel around infected people. “This is such a big question for the hospital, but also in people’s homes and workplaces and stores,” said Prof. Jayant Pinto, an ear, nose and throat specialist who is one of the investigators on the study. “For the most part, this virus causes its chaos starting from the airway. We really want to understand how it gets there, who is most likely to be at risk, how to best protect health care workers, and how the disease moves through the airway.” In a partnership with Assoc. Prof. Savas Tay of the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, the team set up small monitors to collect air samples in the rooms of patients at the hospital. The participants range from those in the ICU, to those with less severe conditions, to those who don’t have COVID-19. The monitors range in placement from close to the patient’s head, to the doorway, to about 10 feet away. Once the material in the air is collected, Tay’s lab measures the amount of virus in the samples and how far it traveled from the patient. “Within any given room, we want to know where the hotspots are where patients are breathing out virus,” Tay said. “We hope to learn which patients are very infectious and spewing out lots of virus; how that viral load changes in air over time with treatment; and which treatments increase or decrease the viral load in the air.” For example, UChicago Medicine has been

exploring alternatives to ventilators in their COVID-19 treatment plan—instead, they blow a large amount of humidified air into the lungs through the nose via a method called highflow nasal cannula oxygenation. The treatment has yielded “remarkable success” so far, but it presents additional risk because it may increase the amount of COVID-19 particles in the air (to protect themselves from the virus, staff are required to have proper PPE, negative pressure patient rooms, and anterooms where they can change in and out of their safety gear.) Tay and Pinto want to quantify that amount compared with other treatments. The scientists hope in the next step of the study to test how infectious that air actually is. The current study simply detects the presence of the virus’s genetic material, but coronaviruses are relatively fragile; by the time it circulates at distance, it may or may not still be able to cause infection. “From a health care perspective, we would really like to know how infectious a person is, and

how it changes as they undergo treatment—how is it different on day 1 versus day 5 or 10?” Pinto said. “That can help set standards for PPE for health care workers.” They would also like to use the opportunity to track the genes of the virus specifically in Chicago; small genetic differences can help track where the virus came from and how it’s moving across the city. Preliminary work by Prof. Tao Pan with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology shows this may be possible using this approach. The team is still collecting samples and running analysis, but the preliminary results are looking good. So far, they have proven that the technique can detect and quantify viral RNA. “I’m very glad we could partner with Savas’s lab on this,” Pinto said, noting that the effort involves working with colleagues and front-line providers in the ICU from the departments of medicine and anesthesia/critical care. “This is exactly what we want to be doing: collaborating across disciplines to solve big problems.

BY A STAFF WRITER SAN JOSE, CA- Adarsh Ambati, a junior at Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose, Calif., has been selected as one of the top five finalists for the “WIN-WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Youth Award 2020” out of hundreds of applicants from around the world. The WIN-WIN Youth Award is an international award based in Gothenburg, Sweden, which aims to empower and reward young people who play an active role in the creation of a more sustainable future. This year’s theme was “Biodiversity.” With his “Amphibian Biodiversity Protection Project,” Ambati has designed a non-invasive, easy, in-field technique that is cheaper than the formerly used procedures to detect the presence of the fungus Batrachochytrium Dendrobatidis, which is harmful for amphibian species around the world. The jury nominated the Indian American youth for the invention making it possible to effectively identify pathogens threatening endangered species, which is a fundamental aspect of species conservation, in an easy and accessible way. The winner will be announced on International Youth Day on Aug. 12 and will receive a cash prize amounting to $2100 at the official awards ceremony on Oct. 22.

HSS-USA Activities in this Unprecedented Pandemic Times USCIS NEWS RELEASE CHICAGO, IL - During the normal course of time, HSS trains its volunteers to conduct regular social service projects in their cities and counties.

Mayor Lightfoot Launches Signature Chicago Utility Billing Relief Program MAYOR’S NEWS RELEASE CHICAGO,IL - Chicago has launched the Utility Billing Relief program, Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced at a press conference Monday. The program aims to reduce the costs of water and sewer bills for vulnerable residents. The city said debt relief will be given to residents who are able to demonstrate an ability to manage the bills at the reduced rate for one year. “The Chicago Utility Billing Relief Program represents our latest step in bringing long overdue financial support to residents who have struggled with their bills, forcing them to choose between paying for their water and other essentials, and in many cases succumb to debilitating debt,” said Mayor Lightfoot. “We can no longer afford to hold back their potential or ours. Thanks to this program, Chicago’s families and communities will now have a path forward towards compliance on payments, as well as the opportunity for total debt forgiveness, helping us build a Chicago that is more equitable, more inclusive, and more hopeful for generations to come.” The program is operating in partnership with CEDA of Cook County. “CEDA is leveraging more than 50 years of experience in operations, education and

the unprecedented times that we currently face.” The city rolled out the program in a soft launch back in April, with 3,315 residents already enrolled in the program. Homeowners must be eligible for the LowIncome Home Energy Assistance Program to be eligible for UBR.

now initially face a notice with a $3 invoice fee for each unpaid toll rather than a notice with a $20 violation fine, an 85%reduction. (Currently, a $20 fine is assessed for each unpaid toll if left unpaid. That penalty escalates by another $50 if the notice remains unpaid for an additional 60 days.) -Customers looking to take advantage of the significant reduction in fines can visit the Tollway’s website to review and pay their updated balances through the end of the year, even if they were previously at collections. (No special arrangements are necessary.)

-Customers with unpaid tolls during the COVID-19 period will receive an invoice for their unpaid tolls only and are able to pay those tolls online as well. The Illinois Tollway is still operating all-electronic toll collection to prevent the spread of COVID-19, so tolls should still be paid online to avoid any fines and fees. Anyone who wants to learn more about the program, or how to pay unpaid tolls and violations, should visit the Illinois Tollway’s website at www.illinoistollway.com<http:// www.illinoistollway.com/>.

State Sen. Villivalam Urges Residents to take Advantage of New Tollway Initiative NYC MAYOR’S NEWS RELEASE CHICAGO , IL – State Senator Ram Villivalam (D-Chicago) is urging residents to take advantage of a new initiative announced by the Illinois Tollway this summer. TOLLING 2020 is a new tolling reform package that will significantly reduce the costs of unpaid toll fees. “Thanks to this relief period, motorists who have been unable to pay outstanding fees due to COVID-19 will be able to catch up,” Villivalam said. “I believe customers will save under the new invoice process and violation relief.” For the remainder of 2020, the Tollway is reducing all outstanding violations with the Illinois Tollway, and all existing $20 and $50 fines per toll will also be reduced to $3 per toll, providing an opportunity for relief to thousands of motorists. Any unpaid tolls that occurred between March 9 and June 25 during the Stay at Home Order will not incur additional fines or fees. Here are some important takeaways for customers under this new program: - As always, customers can continue to avoid fees completely for at least 14 days by paying online. - Vehicle owners who fail to pay a toll will

spread just as we set metrics for everything.” The announcement comes as 10 more people in New York died from the COVID-19 disease, which is caused by the coronavirus.

About 1 percent of tests conducted in the state Monday were positive. The quarantine applies to any person arriving from a state with a positive coronavirus test rate higher than 10 residents per 100,000 over a seven-day rolling average or a state with a 10 percent or higher positive rate over a sevenday rolling average. Here’s the full, updated list of states on the travel advisory: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.

BY A STAFF WRITER NEW YORK, NY - Carnegie Corporation of New York July 1 released its annual list of Great Immigrants, honoring 38 naturalized citizens, including two Indian Americans, who have enriched and strengthened the nation and democracy through their contributions and actions. Each Fourth of July since 2006, the philanthropic foundation has invited Americans to celebrate these exemplary individuals by participating in its online tribute, “Great Immigrants, Great Americans,” the corporation said in a news release. This year, the corporation is highlighting the work of millions of immigrants who are playing an essential role in the global health crisis as COVID-19 responders. Among the group were Raj Chetty, professor of economics at Harvard University; and Siddhartha Mukherjee, author and physician. A third of the honorees are helping the recovery by serving as nurses and doctors, as well as scientists who are striving to find effective treatments and a vaccine, the release said. The corporation also honored clergy and community leaders who are providing food and vital services to those in need. Overall, the 2020 Great Immigrants represent 35 countries of origin and a wide range of contributions to American life, from human rights and computer science to art, business, education, health care, journalism, music, politics, religion, research and sports, it said. Among the COVID-19 responders: Chetty launched a real-time data tracker to measure the economic impact of the pandemic and assisted decision-makers as they implemented new public policies. Mukherjee, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, used his communication skills to educate the public and build awareness about COVID-19 through forums and his widely read essays. Born in New Delhi, India, Chetty came to the United States at the age of 9 with his sister, his mother, a pediatrics professor who almost wasn’t given the opportunity to attend college, and his father, an economics professor who grew up in a family of modest means. The big data research that has made Chetty one of the world’s best-known economists has laid bare the gap between that idealistic American dream and — for many — the disheartening reality. Most recently, Chetty helped launch a resource to monitor the real-time economic impact of COVID-19 on people, businesses, and communities across the United States. Mukherjee is a noted biologist, oncologist, and the author of several acclaimed books, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer (2010). During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mukherjee has used his gifts as a science communicator to educate the public about the virus through essays, in media interviews, at public forums, and via his social media accounts, Carnegie said.
