Ingredients

While the pandemic has changed the world as we knew of it when the year had begun, many countries are slowly trying to create a sense of normalcy now, even in these desperate times. Barbados, for instance, has come up with a new measure to increase tourist footfall. As you work from home and look for ways to break away from the monotony, the island country offers you a chance take your work to its beaches instead. Under a new government scheme, the ‘Barbados Welcome Stamp’ has started taking applications for international tourists, tempting them with the opportunity to work remotely on the island’s beautiful beaches for up to one year. In order to qualify, applicants must earn at least £ 39,760 (USD 50,000) per year, and also have a health insurance in place. There will also be something called the “national security vetting” for them. Additionally, the remote work visa will require a payment of either £ 1,590 (USD 2,000) per person, or £ 2,385 (USD 3,000) per family.

60 pieces – Pimento stuffed, green and black olives 8 pieces – Garlic cloves (sliced) ½ piece – Orange zest (cut into half inch julienne) ½ piece – Lemon zest (cut into half inch julienne) 1 tbsp – Fresh or dried rosemary 50 ml – Extra virgin olive oil 3 tbsp – Fresh lemon

Spanish Marinated Olives juice ½ tbsp – Red pepper flakes

Method

*Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. *Let it marinate at least 15- 20 minutes.

Donald Trump cites India to ban ‘national security risk’ Chinese TikTok

773.526.8353 MIDWEST / EASTCOAST

US will end reliance on China, other nations for pharmaceuticals and medical supply:Trump

Donald Trump’s twin executive orders to ban dealings with Chinese owners of TikTok and WeChat are seen as attempts to hobble China

HiIndia Newsdesk US President Donald Trump’s order to ban US transactions with Chinese owners of short video-sharing app TikTok and messenger app WeChat cited India’s decision to purge the two applications earlier in June. The US restriction on the transactions will kick in after 45 days, mid-September.

“The risks are real,” the presidential directive said, accusing the mobile applications of capturing vast swaths of information from its users that may potentially be accessed by the Chinese Communist Party. The data captured by TikTok could potentially allow China to track locations of federal employees and

contractors, build dossiers of personal information for blackmail and conduct corporate espionage. The US President went on to cite restrictions on use of TikTok on federal government phones by the US armed forces, homeland security and the transportation security administration.Then he turned to India’s ban on Chinese mobile applications to build the case for his own set of restrictions. “The Government of India recently banned the use of TikTok and other Chinese mobile applications throughout the country; in a statement, India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology asserted that they were “stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorized manner to servers which have locations outside India,” President Trump said.

HiIndia Newsdesk The US will end its reliance on China and other foreign nations for pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, President Donald Trump has said, asserting that Beijing would have to pay the price for the wound it has inflected on America and the world by spreading the deadly coronavirus. President Trump and leaders of several countries have accused China of not being transparent in reporting the deadly disease, leading to huge human casualties and economic crisis across the world. China, however, has denied US’ accusation of covering up the extent of its coronavirus outbreak and accused America of attempting to divert public attention by insinuating that the virus originated from a virology laboratory in Wuhan.

US lifts global travel alert except for India Canada imposes ‘dollar-to-dollar’ retaliatory due to ‘high’ risk of contracting Covid-19 measures after US slaps new tariffs

HiIndia Newsdesk The United States on Thursday lifted a “Do Not Travel” Global Health Advisory for Americans but retained it for India saying that not only does the risk of contracting Covid-19 remain high there but, most alarmingly, “if you get sick in India and need medical care, resources may be limited (and overwhelmed)”. The state department announced the lifting of the global travel advisory for Americans

Playing electoral defense, Trump claims Biden opposes God HiIndia Newsdesk President Donald Trump billed his trip to Ohio Thursday as a chance to promote economic recovery, but he quickly pivoted to a deeply personal attack on Joe Biden, even questioning without foundation the former vice president’s faith in God. Even for a president known for his blunt criticism, Trump’s remarks stood out and they signaled how contentious the campaign may get over the coming months. “He’s following the radical left agenda, take away your guns, destroy your 2nd Amendment, no religion, no anything, hurt the Bible, hurt God. He’s against God. He’s against guns. He’s against energy, our kind of energy.

saying in a statement “with health and safety conditions improving in some countries and potentially deteriorating in others” it was switching back to “our previous system of country-specific levels of travel advice (with Levels from 1-4 depending on country-specific conditions).” For India, the country-specific advisory was “Level 4: Do Not Travel”. The state department said in the updated advisory, “Do not travel to India due to COVID-19.” The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which guided the state department revision, said on its own updated travel webpage Americans should avoid “all non-essential travel” to India as the risk of contracting Covid-19 is “high” and, it added, most significantly “if you get sick in India and need medical care, resources may be limited.”

HiIndia Newsdesk Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has asserted his government will implement “dollar-for-dollar” retaliatory measures after US President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on imports of Canadian aluminium. Canada and the United States have had angry exchanges over tariffs imposed by the latter on steel and aluminium but most issues appeared to have been resolved as the new United States, Mexico, Canada regional

WHO hopes US leadership will reconsider its departure

HiIndia Newsdesk The head of the World Health Organization hopes the United States leadership will reconsider its departure from the UN health

agency. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the US was well recognized both for its generosity and support of global health projects in the past. “You cannot defeat this virus in a divided world,” Tedros said of a country that contributes more than $450 million to the agency every year. “When I was a minister in Ethiopia, when HIV/AIDS was ravaging the whole continent of Africa...it’s the U.S. generosity and leadership that gave hope to individuals, gave hope to families and gave hope to nations,” Tedros said.

free trade deal to replace the older NAFTA came into existence this year. However, Trump used the stage of an election rally in Ohio to announce that Washington will impose a 10 per cent tariff. Trudeau made his reaction public in a tweet: “In response to the American tariffs announced today, Canada will impose countermeasures that will include dollarfor-dollar retaliatory tariffs.” He did not specify what shape and which sectors the countermeasures will impact. But his stand was also that of Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, who made the same point in a statement released by her office and added, “Canadian aluminium does not undermine US national security. Canadian aluminium strengthens US national security and has done so for decades through unparalleled co-operation between our two countries.”

New York attorney general seeks to dissolve National Rifle Association HiIndia Newsdesk New York’s attorney general sued the National Rifle Association on Thursday, seeking to put the powerful gun advocacy organisation out of business over allegations that high-ranking executives diverted millions of dollars for lavish personal trips, no-show contracts for associates and other questionable expenditures. Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit, filed in state court in Manhattan after an 18-month investigation, highlighted misspending and self-dealing allegations that have roiled the NRA and its longtime leader, Wayne LaPierre, in recent years from hair and makeup for his wife to a $17 million postemployment contract for himself.

Two groups of protestors try to drown each other out at Times Square

HiIndia Newsdesk South Asian diaspora groups converged in New York’s Times Square on Wednesday, some to celebrate the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya and others to protest it and draw attention to the situation in India.

HiIndia Newsdesk India on Thursday said it expects China to work with it sincerely for ensuring "complete disengagement and deescalation" in eastern Ladakh as decided by the Special Representatives of the two countries last month. External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Anurag Srivastava while replying to questions on the face-off in eastern Ladakh referred to decisions taken by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on complete disengagement of troops along the Line of Actual Control(LAC) during their telephonic talks on July 5.

HiIndia Newsdesk Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that he would not attend the inauguration of the mosque in Ayodhya even if he was invited, and added that no one would invite him anyway. The CM, who attended the bhoomi pujan ceremony for a Ram temple in Ayodhya on Wednesday, was replying to mediapersons who asked him if he would

for boundary talks. "The two Special Representatives had agreed that early and complete disengagement of the troops along the LAC and deescalation from India-China border areas in accordance with bilateral agreement and protocols and full restoration of peace and tranquility was essential for the smooth overall development of bilateral relations," Srivastava said, adding India remains committed to this objective. "We also expect that the Chinese side will work with us sincerely for complete disengagement and de-escalation and full restoration of peace and tranquility in the border areas," he said. kyunki main ek Hindu hun. Ek Hindu ke roop mein, mujhe apni upasna vidhi ko vyakt karne aur upasna vidhi ke anusar aacharan karne ka poora adhikar hai. Lekin doosre ke karya mein mujhe jaane ka koi adhikar nahi hai, usme hastakshep karne ka bhi koi adhikar nahi hai. (If you ask me as a chief minister, then I don’t abstain from any religion or community. But if asked to a yogi, then I will definitely not go. I will not go because I am a Hindu. As a Hindu, I have a right to worship and lead life as per the laid religious rules. But I don’t have the right to intervene in others’ works or meddle into others’ affairs),” said Adityanath, who is also the chief priest of Gorakhnath temple. Adityanath further attacked his political rivals for wearing skull caps during Muslim festivals and said that “it was not secularism”.

hi INDiA Special Report

Modi, on both Article 370 and the Ram temple, has, to the Sangh, underlined what electoral power can achieve and, in the process, reinforced his political credibility like no other leader in the BJP. And this, largely on his own terms.

PM Modi Performs Bhumi Pujan, Lays Ram Temple Foundation Stone in Ayodhya

n overwhelming number of leaders across the political spectrum on Wednesday welcomed the groundbreaking ceremony for the Ram temple in Ayodhya, with the ruling BJP hailing the moment as "historic" and the opposition hoping that it would pave the way for national unity and harmony. In an ambivalent reaction to the laying of the foundation stone for the Ram temple, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said Lord Ram is the ultimate embodiment of supreme human values and can never appear in cruelty, hatred or injustice. Rahul Gandhi's cautious reaction came after his sister and Congress general secretary in-charge of Uttar Pradesh Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday issued a statement, hoping that the groundbreaking ceremony becomes "a celebration of national unity, fraternity and cultural affinity". Priyanka's remarks were seen by its allies, including the Muslim League, as a subtle shift in Congress' position on the emotive issue. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed the 'bhoomi poojan' in Ayodhya for the Ram temple, bringing to fruition the BJP's 'mandir' movement that defined its politics for three decades, reactions from political leaders from ruling as well as opposition parties poured in. The BJP top brass lauded Prime Minister Modi for fulfilling the aspirations of devotees and ending their centuries-old struggle, while most of the opposition parties barring AIMIM congratulated fellow citizens on the day. President Ram Nath Kovind said the event defines India's spirit of social harmony and people's zeal, while Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu said the construction of the Ram temple is much more than a religious affair and the structure will stand as a tribute to the best of timeless human values. Asserting that the government remains committed to the preservation of Indian culture and its values, Home Minister Amit Shah said,"today is a historic and proud day" that heralds the beginning of a new era and marks a golden chapter in the history of India's great civilization. The construction of the temple is the result of centuries long sacrifice, struggle and penance of the innumerable devotees of Lord Ram, Shah, who is recuperating at a private hospital in Gurgaon after contracting COVID-19, said. Shah also added that the construction of the grand Ram temple demonstrates the strong and decisive leadership of Modi. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said every Indian had for years harboured a dream of the construction of a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya, and by performing the consecration of Ram temple today, Modi has brought to fruition that national resolve, which is linked to India's rich cultural traditions. Union ministers, including Prakash Javadekar, Ravi Shankar Prasad and Piyush Goyal also hailed the event. Riding high as the BJP fulfilled its second ideological agenda of Ram temple exactly a year after abrogating Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, party president J P Nadda termed the occasion as a "historic moment" that brings joy and pride to all. On the opposition side, the Congress walked a tightrope with Rahul Gandhi asserting that Lord Ram was love and compassion incarnate and could not appear in hatred and injustice.

Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar spills the beans on resuming work after nearly five months, the precautions he shall be taking while shooting films, and how this could be the new normal to abide by!

e spoke about resuming work amid the Coronavirus, the precautions he shall be taking while filming, and how this could be the new normal to abide by. Given the tensed atmosphere the globe is gripped by, wasn't he nervous too? He said, "Of course, I was, but for how long can you live in fear? Initially, when the pandemic started, very little was known about the virus – the way it affects a person." He added, "So, there was a lot of fear. Now, with time, we know more and also that it's possible to beat it if we've a good immune system. Hence, I decided to get back to work taking all the precautions, not just for me but the entire unit. I was itching to get back to work as soon as it was permitted, and possible. I don't think I've stayed away from the camera for so long and now, there's a newfound excitement to be back on set." In the last five months, a lot of actors have spoken about unemployment and common people too have lost their jobs. Is this the time for all the working professionals to get back to work? He said, "I've a simple question: if not now, then when? So many people have lost their jobs during the lockdown and were pushed into poverty. I'm sorry but if we keep waiting for a vaccine, then, before the virus, people will get badly affected by unemployment."

Kareena Kapoor Khan

areena Kapoor Khan has spoken about her struggle and Bollywood journey since the past two decades. In an interview with Barkha Dutt, Bebo shared how she has seen the downfall of star kids who couldn't survive in the industry, and how the actress' struggle for 21 years has made what she is today! She stated, "21 years of working would not have happened with just nepotism. It is not possible. I can take a long list out of superstars' children for whom it's not been able to happen for them that way." "The audience has made us, no one else has made us. Same people pointing fingers are the ones who have made these nepotistic stars right? Aap jaa re ho na film dekhne? Mat jao.

The door opened because of my surname, but I'm aware of the rejections I faced Shruti Haasan Shruti Haasan gets candid again as she talks about what life would be like post the lockdown and also how her surname helped her, and also her share of rejections. "I understand the value my surname holds and I understand that it opened the door and there is arguing or debating that." She added, "But there are also things like favouritism and campism that exists. But I can tell with my hand on my heart that yes though the door opened for me because of my surname, but I am very well aware of the work I have put in and the rejections I faced."

Swastika Mukherjee on the praise that’s coming her way for Dil Bechara It’s been a little over a week since Dil Bechara dropped to an overwhelming response. What are people telling you? The tag that I got after Paatal Lok... ‘national street dog mom’... has got transferred to ‘national mom!’ (Laughs) People across generations, even someone of my age, have written to me saying, ‘You are just like my mother’. I was laughing that how can I be like a mother to someone of my age! But I think that people have really, really connected with the parents (played by Swastika and Saswata Chatterjee) in the film. It’s come across as very raw and real... very authentic... it didn’t feel like the parents were placed in the film. They are picking up things like, ‘My mother tells me the exact same thing’ or ‘My mother gives me this exact look’ or ‘This is how we get caught when we lie’.

Amitabh Bachchan: I have been detained at home in solo quarantine “I may be home after testing negative.. but I have been detained at home in solo quarantine.. why.. why because the medical world is not sure what they need to advise a recovered patient of how he needs to conduct himself or herself..They say developed antibodies in our systems prevents the occurrence of the disease again .. but there have been several cases where there has been a recurrence despite all other parameters falling into place. Its almost like we are being held to ransom.. and nothing is coming from any source, or from they that hold us as to, what needs to be delivered for our captive release !!!,” Bachchan added.

After backlash, Vivo all Rafael Nadal to miss US Open set to pull out of 2020 IPL amid coronavirus pandemic HiIndia Newsdesk

The one-year pullout could be treated as a moratorium period and if the relations improve, BCCI may look at inking a fresh three-year deal with VIVO from 2021 to 2023 on revised terms.

HiIndia Newsdesk

TWO DAYS after the IPL governing council decided to continue with Vivo as the T20 tournament’s title sponsor, the Chinese smartphone maker is all set to pull out — at least for the 2020 edition starting next month in the UAE. Confirming the development, a BCCI official told The Indian Express that an official statement on the withdrawal will be issued in “a couple of days”. The parting of ways, temporary and by mutual consent, follows a public backlash after the council decided Sunday to hold the IPL from September 19 to November 10 in the UAE, and continue with its China-linked sponsors. Vivo acquired the IPL title sponsorship for Rs 2,199 crore in 2018 in a five-year deal. “We sat after the governing council meeting and agreed on a one-year moratorium. We will also see if their contract can be extended by one year after 2023. This issue will be settled amicably,” the BCCI official said. An IPL council member, too, confirmed the development. “We will issue a new RFP. The process will be very transparent,” the member said. The BCCI shares the broadcast revenue of IPL with the franchises on a 50:50 ratio, apart from handing over 10-20 per cent of the other sponsorship revenue. In an IPL away from home, with increased overhead expenses and without gate receipts, franchises are already walking a financial tightrope. “We would do well to just break even,” said the official.

BCCI does not have a women’s selection panel to pick T20 Challenge team

Rafael Nadal, who edged Daniil Medvedev in last year's men's final at Flushing Meadows, has decided to skip the US Open because of 'complicated' coronavirus pandemic situation.

Rafael Nadal is the men’s singles defending champion of US Open.

Defending champion Rafael Nadal will skip the U.S. Open because of the coronavirus pandemic, putting on hold his bid to equal Roger Federer’s men’s record for Grand Slam titles. Nadal explained his decision in a series of tweets sent in Spanish and English on Tuesday. “The situation is very complicated worldwide, the COVID-19 cases are increasing, it looks like we still don’t have control of it,” Nadal wrote. The 34-yearold from Spain called sitting out the tournament scheduled to begin Aug. 31 in New York “a decision I never wanted to

take,” but added that he would “rather not travel.” he current No. 1-ranked woman, Ash Barty, already had announced she would be missing the U.S. Open. The professional tennis tours have been on hiatus since March because of the COVID-19 outbreak, with play resuming for women on Monday in Palermo, Italy. The first men’s event on the main tour is scheduled to be held later this month. His announcement came shortly after the Madrid Open, scheduled for September, was canceled because of the pandemic. “We know that the reduced tennis calendar is barbaric this year after 4 months stopped with no play,” Nadal wrote on Twitter. “I understand and thank for the efforts they are putting in to make it happen.” In last year’s thriller of a men’s final at Flushing Meadows, Nadal edged Daniil Medvedev 7-5, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4 in 4 hours, 50 minutes.

Ireland upset World Cup winners, Paul Stirling remains the show stopper HiIndia Newsdesk Ireland beat England in the third and final ODI of the series at the Rose Bowl on Tuesday. With the series already wrapped up, England set the visitors a victory target of 329, a total they reached with seven wickets and a ball to spare, guided by a superb 142 from Paul Stirling. Stirling put on an Irish record second wicket partnership of 214 with captain Andy Balbirnie, who contributed a fine 113.

It was Stirling’s ninth ODI hundred, but one of his best, though he was more relieved to have broken his side’s duck in the Super League. The Super League serves as the qualifier for the 2023 World Cup in India. After a superb match winning knock, Stirling said he always believed they could chase down a score of over 300 against England. “We’ve chased over 300 a number of times, particularly in World Cups, so we knew we could do it.

Women T20 Challenge will see teams captained by Mithali Raj, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Smriti Mandhana (L-R).

The BCCI had asked for candidates with experience of playing for India and who have retired at least five years ago to apply for the post. With Covid-19 pandemic the BCCI didn’t conduct any interviews for women’s selection committee. However, in March this year, the Cricket Advisory Committee headed by Madan Lal, RP Singh and Sulakshana Naik had filled the vacancies in men’s selection committee. With the Women T20 Challenger tournament to be held in November, the Indian players like Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandana and Veda Krishnamurthy will not be granted No Objection Certificate from the BCCI for the Women’s Big Bash League. As per procedure, Cricket Australia sent an invite to BCCI asking them to send their players to play in WBBL. Once the board approves, these players are handed over contracts by Cricket Australia. With WBBL clashing with women exhibition games organised by the BCCI, the board won’t allow its top players to take part in the league.

The former Pakistan all-rounder also took to Twitter to comment on the situation in Kashmir and had written, “It does not take a religious belief to feel the agony of Kashmiris…just a right heart at the right place. Save Kashmir.” “Yet begging for Kashmir for 70 yrs.

HiIndia Newsdesk Another private hospital in Hyderabad is under fire following several complaints regarding overcharging coronavirus patients. On Tuesday evening, the Telangana government issued orders prohibiting Virinchi Hospital from offering treatment to COVID-19 patients — nearly 24 hours after it took a similar action against Deccan Hospital over ‘surplus billing’. According to the latest orders, both hospitals are barred

from admitting or treating any confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19. The office of the director of Public Health and Family Welfare has directed the management of Virinchi hospital to ensure treatment to patients who are currently admitted there and charge them in accordance with government’s fixed pricecap.

Apple Watch Series 6 could feature a blood oxygen sensor Apple Watch Series 6 will be able to include a blood oxygen sensor. Simply put, the watch will able to measure oxygen levels or oxygen saturation in the blood. Over the past few years, Apple Watch has gained a number of health features including advanced heart rate monitoring and cycle tracking. However, if a recent report from DigiTimes is to be believed, it appears that the upcoming Apple Watch Series 6 might include a blood oxygen sensor. The report claims that Apple has inked a deal with ASE Technology, a Taiwan-based supplier, to build the Series 6. The publication further adds that the Apple Watch Series 6 will be able to detect blood oxygen.

Blood Oxygen monitoring

In case you are not aware, Blood Oxygen monitoring estimates the amount of oxygen in your blood. It also detects what percentage of your blood is saturated, better known as SpO2 level. The feature can be really useful for COVID-19 patients who have alarmingly low oxygen levels. Perhaps the reason why there is a heavy demand for standalone clip-on-style Pulse oximeters in the market. It uses red and infrared light sensors to detect oxygen levels.

So let’s just get right into the Pixel 4A’s best feature: photos. I am happy to report that after dozens of test shots, the Pixel 4A matches the Pixel 4’s quality.

Why Microsoft wants

TikTok

AtAt first glance, a Microsoft acquisition of TikTok seems a little unusual. Microsoft has spent years walking back consumer plays like the Groove Music service, the Kinect Xbox accessory, its Microsoft Band fitness device, Windows Phone, and more recently the Mixer streaming service. Microsoft has been favoring its enterprise software and services, and even Cortana has transitioned to be productivity-focused. How does a service that caters to dancing teenagers fit with Microsoft’s buttoned-up business demographic?

Data, data, and more data The key part of any TikTok deal will be the data and users Microsoft gains access to. This is the driving force behind concerns from the Trump administration over TikTok’s potential ties to the Chinese government and how that data might be misused. Microsoft acknowledges the data’s importance in its blog post confirming acquisition talks, noting that “Microsoft would ensure that all private data of TikTok’s American users is transferred to and remains in the United States.” This data could be used by Microsoft in a variety of ways. The software giant has long used Xbox Live to fuel parts of Microsoft Research for future software and hardware projects, and the usage data helps game developers and Microsoft better understand how people use their Xbox. Understanding how people interacted with and used the Kinect accessory for the Xbox ultimately helped Microsoft develop and improve HoloLens, too. TikTok could help correct a Microsoft blindspot and even influence how other software and services are developed inside the company. Microsoft has all the data it needs on business usage of software, but it hasn’t been successful with pure consumer services in recent years, which has left the company with a gap of insight into consumer behaviors.

It also means there is more battery power here. There is a red LED that glows as long as the earphones are inside. Inside, the earphones are nestled tightly and have LEDs to show they are charging. As you pick them up, the red LEDs change to blue for an instance to show the pairing. All very suave and subtle.

State Sen. Villivalam Asks Those Who Are Able to Join COVID-19 Contact Tracing Initiative BY A STAFF WRITER CHICAGO, IL= In light of the recent spikes in COVID-19 cases around the country, State Senator Ram Villivalam (D-Chicago) is asking anyone who is able to consider applying to become a contact tracer for the Chicago or Cook County Health Department. “Illinoisans have been and need to continue to do a decent job of limiting the spread of the virus by wearing a mask, socially distancing, and washing their hands for 20 seconds,” Villivalam said. “However, while we are doing relatively well compared to other states in the country, we can’t afford to relax our efforts. If you are able, please consider becoming a contact tracer to help us stop any new major outbreaks in our communities.” The Chicago Department of Public Health has received a $56 million grant to create the COVID Contact Tracing Corp and COVID Resource Coordination Hub, while the Cook County Department

Indian Origin Cancer Researcher Woman Killed While Jogging in Texas

BY A STAFF WRITER PLANO, TX -: As crimes are soaring in the US this summer, an Indian woman cancer researcher has been killed in Texas while she was jogging and police say they have arrested a man in connection with the attack. Sarmistha Sen, 43, was killed on Saturday morning on a trail in a park in the Dallas suburb of Plano, police said. A “person of interest related to this homicide is currently in custody”, police said in a statement. The man was arrested while police investigated a nearby burglary, according to police. Sen’s killing comes as crime is shooting up across the US, following protests that started as conscience-raising against police brutality against African Americans, but have now turned into a sometimes violent anti-police movement,

demanding the abolition of police or reducing financing for law enforcement. Dallas Fox TV identified the man arrested as Bakari Moncrief, who did not appear to be white from the picture posted by the station. It said that although he is now charged with only burglary, his bail has been set at $1 million. The station quoted Plano police officer

David Tilley as saying: “We have our suspicions, but we have to have proof. And that’s what they’re looking for right now, is trying to obtain proof as to whether or not this individual is or is not responsible for her death.” Local media showed an outpouring of sympathy for the mother of two sons by the people of Plano, who set up an impromptu shrine in her honour at the place where her body was found. Along with a picture of her and posters and notes of condolence, they placed dozens of jogging shoes around it in symbolic tribute to the woman who regularly jogged on the trail and was killed while running. Sen was a pharmacist who studied molecular biology and worked with cancer patients at the University of Texas as a researcher. According to a friend, she was a talented singer who was involved with the community.

Carnegie Mellon University Research Enables iPhone Videos to be Merged into 4D Movies BY A STAFF WRITER Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, led by Indian American Aayush Bansal, have demonstrated that they can combine iPhone videos shot “in the wild” by separate cameras to create 4D visualizations that allow viewers to Research led by Aayush watch action from Bansal (cmu.edu photo) various angles, or even erase people or objects that temporarily block sight lines, the university said in a recent news release. Imagine a visualization of a wedding reception, where dancers can be seen from as many angles as there were cameras, and the tipsy guest who walked in front of the bridal party is nowhere to be seen, the CMU report said. The videos can be shot independently from a variety of vantage points, as might occur at a wedding or birthday celebration, said Bansal, a Ph.D. student at CMU’s Robotics Institute. It also is possible to record actors in one setting and then insert them into another, he told the university. “We are only limited by the number of cameras,” Bansal said, with no upper limit on how many video feeds can be used. Bansal and his colleagues presented their 4D visualization method at the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition virtual conference, according to the university report. “Virtualized reality” is nothing new, but in the past it has been restricted to studio setups, such as CMU’s Panoptic Studio, which boasts more than 500 video cameras embedded in its geodesic walls, CMU said. Fusing visual information of real-world scenes shot from multiple, independent, handheld cameras into a single comprehensive model that can reconstruct a dynamic 3D scene simply hasn’t been possible, it added. Bansal and his colleagues worked around that limitation by using convolutional neural nets, a type of deep learning program that has proven adept at analyzing visual data. They found that scene-specific CNNs could be used to compose different parts of the scene, according to the report. The CMU researchers demonstrated their method using up to 15 iPhones to capture a variety of scenes — dances, martial arts demonstrations and even flamingos at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, it said. “The point of using iPhones was to show that anyone can use this system,” Bansal said in the report. “The world is our studio.” The method also unlocks a host of potential applications in the movie industry and consumer devices, particularly as the popularity of virtual reality headsets continues to grow, according to CMU. Though the method doesn’t necessarily capture scenes in full 3D detail, the system can limit playback angles so incompletely reconstructed areas are not visible and the illusion of 3D imagery is preserved. In addition to Bansal, the research team included Robotics Institute faculty members Yaser Sheikh, Deva Ramanan and Srinivasa Narasimhan. The team also included Minh Vo, a former Ph.D. student who now works at Facebook Reality Lab. The National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research and Qualcomm supported this research, the report said.

Mayor Lightfoot Announces $6.2 Million Awarded To Together Now Grant Fund Recipients MAYOR’S NEWS RELEASE CHICAGO,IL- Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot today announced that the City is awarding $6.2 million in grant allocations to the Together Now fund applicants. The Together Now fund was launched last month, in partnership with Chicago Community Trust and One Chicago Fund, in an effort to provide assistance to small businesses and not-for-profits in Chicago that have experienced economic distress and significant operational losses due to Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), or have experienced damage from events of nationwide protests and unrest. “Through the Together Now fund, we’re putting much-needed funds directly into the hands of more than 1,500 of Chicago’s small and locally-owned businesses that were deeply impacted by COVID-19 or the civil unrests last month,” said Mayor Lightfoot. “Our small businesses play a large role in contributing to the vibrancy of our city which is why it is essential that we continue to offer them assistance during what may be the most difficult time that many of them face.” The City received more than 4,000 applications before the online application closed Monday, June 29. The City carefully reviewed each application to ensure it met City criteria, and grants for qualifying applicants were then selected through a lottery system. The fund is comprised of multiple city-backed funding sources including money from the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund (NOF) and CARES Act funding, as well as corporate and individual donations. “From an unprecendented public health pandemic to national civil unrest, Chicago’s smallest businesses have faced a one-two punch that has devastated their business and the surrounding communities as well,” said Deputy Mayor Samir Mayekar. “With the Together Now fund, we’re building on our efforts to provide our neighborhood business owners and local entrepreneurs with the resources they need to survive. By lifting up our small businesses, we’re ensuring they can continue to hire and build wealth in our neighborhoods.” The fund directly targeted small businesses that otherwise would not be able to reopen quickly or at all without additional funding, given the loss of revenue due to COVID-19.

Businesses that have experienced damage from the events related to nationwide unrest and protests were also eligible for infrastructure grants of up to $10,000 to repair physical infrastructure damage. Businesses that have experienced at least a 25% revenue loss due to COVID-19 were also eligible for grants of up to $4,000 to cover operating costs that arose as a result of economic losses experienced due to the pandemic. “As the COVID-19 pandemic persists, Chicago’s businesses owners continue to make unprecedented sacrifices as they have stepped up to keep our community safe,” said Rosa Escareño, BACP Commissioner. “The Together Now fund is our latest commitment to support our businesses and entrepreneurs as we recover from these unprecedented crises and build a better future, together.” To be eligible for either grant, businesses could not have more than 100 employees and needed to provide all requested documentation. Businesses applying for an infrastructure grant also needed to provide proof of damage, including photos of damage, repair quotes or any other available materials. Each business owner was eligible to apply for up to one infrastructure grant and one operational grant. Certain institutions, such as regional or national chain businesses, including franchises, branch banks and payday loan stores were not eligible. “Our neighborhood businesses are the beating hearts of our communities,” said Alderman Walter Burnett Jr. (27th Ward). “The first step to ensuring Chicago recovers from the impacts of COVID-19 is by supporting its smallest businesses that have been hurting over the past several months, which is why I applaud Mayor Lightfoot for her innovative and important work of the Together Now fund.” To further ensure an equitable grant process, the City made allocations to account for a disproportionate impact felt in particular neighborhoods throughout the city. Black and Latinx business owners are more frequently

uninsured or underinsured and living in South and West Side communities that have faced decades of disinvestment, both of which were considered in the decision-making process. “The RAZE Up Grooming Lounge has proudly served Chicago’s West Side for more than four years, however, we’ve never faced a bigger challenge or fallen on harder times than what we’ve experienced over the past months due to COVID-19,” said Barnett Sizer, owner of RAZE Up Grooming Lounge in the Austin neighborhood. “With these Together Now grants, community businesses like mine can further ensure our doors stay open for our residents and we can continue to serve the neighborhoods we call home.” The award comes after Mayor Lightfoot’s announcement of the fund in June, which was established to channel money raised by Chicago’s philanthropies, corporations, and individuals to assist businesses that have faced mounting financial pressure due to months of revenue losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. The fund started with an initial City commitment to address immediate needs of small businesses, and also received additional contributions of $1 million from Jewel-Osco and other donors to assist businesses. “Working with the communities we serve underscores our commitment to our customers,” said Mike Withers, President of Jewel-Osco. The initial round of grants helped more than 1,500 small businesses, with additional recipients to be named through a second round of funding. The second round will focus on awarding grants in community areas that received a disproportionately low number of eligible applicants during the first round. Recipients of the Together Now grants were notified of their status via email. The program was administered through the support of multiple City Departments, including the Department of Planning and Development and the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection, as well as administered with the support and partnership of various neighborhood organizations. For more information about the Together Now grants, please visit www.chicago.gov/ togethernow or cct.org/togethernow.

USCIS Adjusts Fees to Help Meet Operational Needs USCIS NEWS RELEASE WASHINGTON, DC—Today, the Department of Homeland Security announced a final rule (PDF) that adjusts fees for certain immigration and naturalization benefit requests to ensure U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recovers its costs of services. Unlike most government agencies, USCIS is fee funded. Fees collected and deposited into the Immigration Examinations Fee Account fund nearly 97% of USCIS’ budget. As required by federal law, USCIS conducted a comprehensive biennial fee review and determined that current fees do not recover the cost of providing adjudication and naturalization services. DHS is adjusting USCIS fees by a weighted average increase of 20% to help recover its operational costs. Current fees would leave the agency underfunded by about $1 billion per year. “USCIS is required to examine incoming and outgoing expenditures and make adjustments based on that analysis,” said Joseph Edlow, USCIS deputy director for policy. “These overdue adjustments in fees are necessary to efficiently and fairly administer our nation’s lawful immigration system, secure the homeland and protect Americans.” The rule accounts for increased costs to adjudicate immigration benefit requests, detect and deter immigration fraud, and

thoroughly vet applicants, petitioners and beneficiaries. The rule also supports payroll, technology and operations to accomplish the USCIS mission. The rule removes certain fee exemptions, includes new nominal fees for asylum applicants, and reduces fee waivers to help recover the costs of adjudication. This final rule also encourages online filing by providing a $10 reduction in the fee for applicants who submit forms online that are electronically available from USCIS. Online filing is the most secure, efficient, cost-effective and convenient way to submit a request with USCIS. USCIS last updated its fee structure

in December 2016 by a weighted average increase of 21%. For a full list of changes and a complete table of final fees, see the final rule (PDF). This final rule is effective Oct. 2, 2020. Any application, petition, or request postmarked on or after this date must include payment of the new, correct fees established by this final rule.

BY A STAFF WRITER SANTA CRUZ, CA- The Santa Cruz County, California, Sheriff ’s Department released the names and mugshots of four men suspected of killing Indian American tech entrepreneur Tushar Atre last fall. The suspects (from left to right, top to bottom) are: Kaleb Charters, Stephen Lindsay, Kurtis Charters, and Joshua Camps. All four have been charged with first degree murder, kidnapping, and robbery. (Santa Cruz County Sheriff ’s Office photos) Two of the four defendants charged with the Oct. 1, 2019 murder and kidnapping of Tushar Atre at his Pleasant Point, Calif., home appeared in court July 24 for arraignment. Kurtis Charters, 22, and Stephan Lindsay, 22, pleaded not guilty to m u rd e r, ro b b e r y, k i d n a p p i n g , carjacking, burglary, amid a number of other charges. Their co-conspirators, Kaleb Charters, 19, and Joshua Camps, 24, who have also been charged with first degree murder, robbery, and kidnapping, are scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 14. All four defendants are currently being held in Santa Cruz County, Calif., without bail. All were arrested May 19 and are all expected back in court on Aug. 14. Atre, 50, founder and CEO of AtreNet and co-founder of Interstitial Systems — a licensed cannabis dispensary and delivery service — was kidnapped from his beachfront home early morning Oct. 1 and found dead later that morning about 10 miles away. An autopsy revealed that Atre had died from a single gunshot wound. The Santa Cruz County Sentinel reported that no members of Atre’s family, who live on the East Coast, attended the arraignment. But numerous friends of Atre’s were in the courtroom. ,Ashley Keehn, a spokeswoman for the Santa Cruz County Sheriff ’s DepartmentK said, Kaleb Charters and Lindsay had worked for Atre at his cannabis dispensary for about two weeks at the time of the murder Santa Cruz County Sheriff Lt. Brian Cleveland said the motivation for the murder was monetary gain. Police have not released what items or what amount of money was stolen from Atre’s residence.

Merin Joy with her husband Philip Mathew

100K Remain Without Power After Tropical Storm Isaias Passed Through NYC BY A STAFF WRITER NEW YORK, NY — Tropical Storm Isaias passed through New York City in a matter of hours, but it could take days for some city dwellers to get their power back. Roughly 100,000 Con Edison customers in New York City remained without power Wednesday morning. An outage map for customers gives the same estimated time of restoration: “evaluating condition.” The power company told customers in a statement that they could be in for a long wait. “The company has already restored service to more than 48,000 customers,” ConEd wrote in the statement. “But it is clear the restoration of all customers will take multiple days.” #StormIsaias’s outage is the second largest in our long history. With 257,000 customers out surpassing Hurricane Irene; we are focused on safe restoration. Click the link for all the details: https://t.co/RCgS8w99Fu #poweringthrutogether pic.twitter.com/ cJzUJP2H33 — Con Edison (@ConEdison) August 5, 2020 Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday issued a statement excoriating Con Edison’s and other utilities’ response to the storm. He said he directed the state’s Department of Public

Representative image

Service to investigate.“The large volume of outages and the utilities’ failure to communicate with customers in real time proves they did not live up to their legal obligations,” Cuomo said. “The fact that many customers still do not know when their power will be restored makes it even more unacceptable.” About 257,000 Con Edison customers lost power in the storm — the second-largest “storm-related” outage in its history, only behind the 1.1 million left powerless by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, according to the company.

Queens, with 45,000, had the most customers without power on Tuesday, according to the company. Brooklyn and the Bronx had 16,000 and 23,000 customers, respectively. But it was Staten Island that suffered the biggest proportion of customers without power. Soon after the storm passed, about 20 percent of Staten Island customers were without power. Staten Island had 29,000 customers without power on Tuesday, although the company quickly shaved that number down to 21,000 the following morning.

Long Island Car Parade Maybe the Biggest India Day Celebration in USA BY A STAFF WRITER HICKSVILLE, NY: Even as the better known India Day celebrations in America have been forced by Covid-19 to downsize this year to just tricolor flag hoistings, Long Island’s IDP USA is all set to hold a Car Parade on August 15 in Hicksville, NY. Over 150 cars are expected to form the cavalcade starting from Patel Brothers on South Broadway at 4 p.m., where dignitaries such as Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joe Saladino, State Senator Kevin Thomas, Grand Marshall Raj Bhayani and IDP USA President Mukesh Modi will speak from a stage set up there. The cars displaying India and USA flags then will drive down to Apna Bazar, make a U-Turn, pass in front of Asa Mai Hindu temple, and culminate in Badshah Farmers

IDP USA President Mukesh Modi Market, also on South Broadway. At the end point, there will be half hour of cultural program, ending around 6 p.m. At Patel and Badshah, cold drinks and small snack

packs will be distributed free. President Mukesh Modi says that all necessary permissions have been taken from the Town and County, and “All participants will fully comply with the guidance of health authorities; they will socially distance and wear masks. The occupants of the cars will not come out of their vehicles. Only a limited number of people will be allowed to assemble at the programs at the start and end points.” All along the parade route, some select establishments will distribute flyers on safeguards to prevent Covid. The entire proceedings of the Car Parade can be seen live on YouTube and Radio Zindagi. Those wishing to register their cars (some slots are still open) and participate in the Car Parade can go to www.idpusa.org

Mayor de Blasio Announces COVID-19 Checkpoints to Enforce New York State Quarantine Orders

Representative image BY A STAFF WRITER NEW YORK, NY — A new checkpoint program will stop and “educate” travelers into New York City about the state’s mandatory quarantine requirements, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced. The checkpoints will begin Wednesday at major bridge and tunnel crossings into the city, de Blasio said. They will help ensure that travelers from and New Yorkers who visited 35 states with high coronavirus infection rates follow the state’s 14-day quarantine, he said. “The idea is we don’t want to penalize people, we want to educate them, we want to make sure they’re following the rules,” he said. Gov. Andrew Cuomo instituted the highrisk state quarantine — which has kept growing — as a way to stop the coronavirus’ spread back into New York from virus hot spots. The rules require travelers and New Yorkers who visited those designated states to quarantine themselves for 14 days. But while officials require airport travelers to fill out contact forms and laid down $10,000 penalties for violations, Cuomo has lamented that enforcing compliance is all but impossible. A fifth of New York City’s new coronavirus cases have come from travelers coming from other states, said Ted Long, who heads the city’s “Test and Trace” program. De Blasio’s announcement appears to be an attempt to add teeth to the quarantine rule in New York City, once the country’s coronavirus epicenter. The city’s Sheriff ’s Office will run the checkpoints, with help from other law enforcement agencies, said Sheriff Joseph Fucito. Checkpoints will be placed at varying major bridge and tunnel entry points into the city, Fucito said. He said a random selection of vehicles will be pulled over so as not to discriminate against people from other states or otherwise violate rights. “Let’s say it’s every sixth vehicle, or every eighth vehicle,” he said. “We determine something at the beginning of the day and we stick to that pattern throughout the day and that is how the checkpoint will be conducted at different locations.” Fucito said officials hope to avoid stops or locations that will affect traffic. Officers and city public outreach staff will tell travelers about the state’s quarantine rules and encourage them to fill out health forms, officials said. The city will also reach out to travelers at Penn Station starting Thursday. Long said the city’s Test and Trace program will call travelers about the quarantine and offer help with getting through the mandatory quarantine. He said they offer free food delivery, assistance getting medication, connections with doctors over the phone and even a hotel stay.
