Modi, Obama hit one for the road, partners in defense

PM Modi’s fourth visit in two years saw a flurry of crucial agreements ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON

all it President Barack Obama’s desire to seal his legacy or the Trump effect, as some pundits would have it, he and Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated his fourth visit to the US in two years with a flurry of agreements, including one in which the US commits itself to sharing defense technology with India “to a level commensurate with that of its closest allies and partners”. These ranged from climate change to the vexed civil nuclear deal to US recognition of India as a major defense partner to a call on Pakistan to bring the perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai and 2016 Pathankot terrorist attacks to justice. Marking a big upswing in IndiaUS relations in the last two years, the upshot of Modi’s tte--tte with “my friend Barack” at the White House on June 7 was that the “good story continues” in the words of Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar. Some icing on the cake came ahead of the third major ModiObama summit with reports that none of the 34 current members of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) had objected to India’s entry to the exclusive club.

Jaishankar would not go beyond saying that India had indeed applied for entry into MTCR, but the joint statement noted “the leaders looked forward to India’s imminent entry” into the club. Beijing is not a member of MTCR, but it is standing in the way of India’s entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) at the behest of Pakistan. And though the membership of the two clubs is not directly linked, if India was found good for entry into one non-proliferation regime, it should be good for the other too, Jaishankar suggested. Fresh from garnering support for

Obama endorses Hillary Clinton for US president WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama formally threw his support behind presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in a web video on June 9. “I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office,” Xinhua quoted Obama as saying in the video posted on Clinton’s Facebook page. “I’m with her. I’m fired up and I cannot wait to get out there and campaign with Hillary,” he said. The former first lady said on Twitter that she was “honored” to have the president’s support and her campaign announced that Obama would join Clinton for a public event next Wednesday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Obama’s endorsement came just moments after his meeting with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s rival in the nomination race, and according to Earnest, Sanders “was not surprised” by Obama’s endorsement. Although he still declined to endorse Clinton at the moment.

Sanders told reporters after the meeting that he would do everything “to make sure Donald Trump does not become president of the US”. He said the real-estate mogul “would be a disaster” for the US. As the Democratic primary season was all but over, the notion of party unity had become a crucial topic in the Democratic field. So far, Sanders had offered mixed response as to what his next step would be after being mathematically eliminated from the race.

India’s membership of NSG from Switzerland ahead of a meeting of the Group later this month, Modi thanked Obama for backing New Delhi’s bid for both the MTCR and NSG clubs. On climate change, the joint statement said “both countries are committed to working together and with others” for the ratification and full implementation of the Paris Agreement “as early as possible”. US officials suggested that like the US, India had agreed to join the Paris agreement “this year”. But the Indian side stuck to the formulation in the joint statement saying, “India

similarly has begun its processes to work toward this shared objective.” The New York Times suggested that would-be Republican nominee “Donald J. Trump can claim at least some of the credit” for the ModiObama understanding on the Paris climate agreement. Since Trump has vowed to “cancel” the Paris agreement if elected, Obama is working hard to ensure that it becomes binding before he leaves office next January. On his part, “Modi wants to get as much as he can out of Obama’s last months in office,” the Times cited Ashley J. Tellis, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, as saying. The announcement that India will buy six nuclear reactors from Westinghouse by June 2017 under the stalled India-US civil nuclear deal signed in 2005 also removes another irritant in India-US relations. And US recognition of India as a Major Defense Partner to facilitate "technology sharing with India to a level commensurate with that of its closest allies and partners" marked another milestone in the growing US-India defense relationship. The understanding would give India “license-free” access to a wide range of dual-use technologies.

Modi praises Indian Americans for contributions WASHINGTON: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his address to the joint sitting of US Congress on June 8, praised the manifold contributions of the Indian-American community to the US. “Connecting our two nations is also a unique and dynamic bridge of three million Indian Americans,” Modi said. “They are among your best CEOs, academics, scientists, economics, doctors, even spelling bee champions,” he said eliciting standing applause from the US lawmakers. He also mentioned the popularity of yoga and said India has not yet claimed intellectual property rights for it. “SIRI (Siri Peterson Cavanna yoga classes) tells us that India's ancient heritage of yoga has over 30 million practitioners in the US,” the Prime Minister said. “And, we have not yet claimed intellectual property rights on yoga,” he stated adding a touch of humor. Ahead of his speech to the joint sitting of the US Congress, Modi on June 8 met with the Congressional leadership. As he arrived at Capitol Hill, the Prime Minister was received by House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan. Modi is the fifth Indian Prime Minister after Rajiv Gandhi, P.V. Narasimha Rao, Atul Bihari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh to address a joint sitting of the US Congress.

‘US, India a win-win combo’ IANS, WASHINGTON

ssuring continuity in reforms and predictable tax policies, but with a firm hand against evasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited USA Inc to invest in his country to forge a win-win partnership between American innovation and Indian human resource. Speaking at a gala hosted by the US-India Business Council here, he also called upon rich nations to open up their economies to goods and services from emerging countries like India as they seek to make world-class merchandise not just for themselves but also for the entire globe. “India is the future human resource powerhouse of the world with a young hard-working population. In my vision, a partnership between American capital and innovation, and Indian human resource and entrepreneurship can be very powerful,” Modi said. “I am convinced we can

strengthen both our economies through such a partnership,” said the prime minister to a packed audience that included the top brass of companies like PepsiCo, Master Card, Warburg Pincus, Lockheeed Martin, Boeing, Westinghouse, Intelsat, Emerson and 8Minute Energy. The prime minister said his government will continue to strengthen the Make in India initiative, which was intended not only for manufacturing for the domestic market or import substitution but was also about making world-class

products and services for the whole globe. “That is why, for us, improvements towards free trade are important. It is very important for us that developed countries open their markets not only to goods from countries like India but also to services. I see this as a win-win proposition for the US and for India.” He also held out an assurance: “We will continue to make our tax policies more predictable.” Earlier, the office bearers of USIndia Business Council said their members have already invested $28 billion in India since September 2014 and that another $45 billion was in the pipeline, even by a conservative estimate. Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com, specifically said the US-based global e-commerce major had pledged another $3 billion investment in India in addition to the $2 billion that was announced in 2014 and had created over 45,000 jobs in India.

Mathura to hurt Akhilesh The carnage that claimed 29 lives seems to be the biggest challenge for the 23-year-old chief minister of India’s most populous state MOHIT DUBEY, LUCKNOW

khilesh Yadav, the 43year-old Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, has weathered many a crisis on the family and political fronts in the last four years. But the Mathura carnage that claimed 29 lives could hurt him the most in the run-up to assembly polls in the state early next year. The Mathura violence last week, even Yadav’s most ardent admirers admit in private, has “brought to his doorstep the biggest challenge” to his four-year-old rule. “From other small things to Muzaffarnagar riots, Bhaiyya-ji (as he is known) has faced a lot, but Mathura seems to be the deepest wound of all,” a close aide told IANS, speaking on condition of anonymity. Pointing to the many developmental works and projects being done in the state, he rued that all has been undone by the violence at Mathura’s Jawaharbagh Park last week in which two police bravehearts too died. While Akhilesh was unusually quick to admit the gaping holes in the state’s intelligence setup, which first let him down in Muzaffarnagar and now in Mathura, the damage seem to has been done. Law and order in Uttar Pradesh has always made the headlines for all the wrong reasons but senior police officers have not only defended the incidents that have rocked the Samajwadi Party (SP) boat ever since it took office in March 2012,

Javadekar rejects claim by IITM study NEW DELHI: Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar on June 7 rejected the claims of a study released by Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) which said that “life expectancy in Delhi has reduced by six years because of air pollution”. Javadekar said the claim made by the study was ‘incorrect’ as it was not based on real data and that the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) will give a reply soon. “A study released by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology claiming that the Life expectancy in Delhi has reduced by six years because of air pollution ‘is not correct’ as it is not based on real data, but only an extrapolation. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) will give a detailed response in due course,” Javadekar said.

NEWS DIGEST Delhi kidney racket mastermind held NEW DELHI: The alleged mastermind and three kidney donors in the organ trafficking racket at Indraprastha Apollo hospital here have been arrested, Delhi Police said on June 7. T. Rajkumar was arrested from Kolkata. Police busted the kidney racket on June 2 with the arrest of two Indraprastha Apollo hospital employees and three touts on the charge of persuading economically-needy people to sell their kidneys.

Bihar school board chairman resigns (Left) A massive fire erupts at the clash site in Mathura. Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav (right) speaks to media persons after the violence.

Parties cash in on Mathura violence MATHURA: Even as blame game continued over the violence in Mathura, political parties waded into the troubled region to take stock of the situation and score a point over their rivals. As the media focus shifted from police failure and inept handling of the crisis at Jawahar Bagh to the role of politicians of the ruling party in Uttar Pradesh, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders staged a ‘dharna’ at the Collectorate here on June 4. A delegation of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) from Delhi also arrived in the city to take stock of the situation.

but have also spoken out openly of many “path-breaking and trend-setter projects like the Dial-100 being rolled out under Akhilesh Yadav. The barbaric attack on its men

The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) on June 4 demanded a Supreme Court-monitored inquiry into the Mathura violence. “This incident clearly shows a very serious lapse on the part of the central and state intelligence,” the CPI-M said.

and their deaths, however seem to have shaken the police force completely and irreversibly. In what were earlier murmurs, police officers are now openly talking about how they

are paying with their lives while people like Ram Briksha Yadav, the leader of the cult that killed the policemen, were counting “political brownies” by sheltering such blatantly anti-social elements. And so, it is not surpring that Akhilesh has been trolled on social networking sites like never before, with people of the state and even elsewhere trashing Yadav junior for the “breakdown of law and order in the state”. The palpable anger in the force can be gauged by the emotional outburst of a serving police officer who narrated his bond with the late Mathura Superintendent of Police Mukul Dwivedi and ended up by stating: “Bye Mukul, don’t meet me ever again and one last thing, never be born in place like this ever.” The state government’s spin doctors concede that “Mathura was an open wound which will bleed much beyond the assembly polls”.

PATNA: Sensing trouble over ongoing investigation into Class 12 merit list muddle, Bihar School Examination Board Chairman Lalkeshwar Prasad Singh resigned on June 8, officials said. “Under pressure to quit, Singh has resigned,” an official of the education department said. According to reports, a special investigation team of Bihar Police probing the case after an FIR was lodged, is likely to detain Singh for interrogation.”

Microsoft sets up cyber security centre NEW DELHI: Microsoft on June 7 said it has set up a Cyber Security Engagement Centre (CSEC) in Gurgaon near here. The CSEC aims to drive the public-private partnership to fight cyber crime, strengthen cooperation with Indian businesses, government and academic organisations on cyber security. The Gurgaon centre will serve as a dedicated hub for Microsoft in India.

Congress may constitute advisory board at top IANS, NEW DELHI

een on an organisational revamp, the Congress may constitute an advisory board of senior leaders, led by party president Sonia Gandhi, to deliberate upon key policy issues and important party matters, Congress sources here said on June 7. The board, which could be constituted after the Rajya Sabha biennial elections on June 11, is likely to include senior leaders who held key portfolios during the United Progressive Alliance government, including P. Chidambaram, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Sushil Kumar Shinde. There has been renewed talk of organisational revamp in the party after the party’s poor performance in assembly elections in four major states last month.

The Congress problems have been mounting ever since. While party leader and former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Ajit Jogi announced formation of his own party on Monday, six party legislators in Tripura on Tuesday joined the Trinamool Congress.

In another blow, Congress general secretary Gurudas Kamat on Monday announced he was quitting the party and the political arena. The party has over the last year seen some of its satraps leave and join the Bharatiya Janata Party. Former Assam minister Himanta

Biswa Sarma joined the BJP last year whereas former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna joined the BJP last month. The Congress is also facing uncertainty over the elevation of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi as the party chief. There have been recurrent speculations and renewed demands that Rahul Gandhi take up the mantle from his mother Sonia Gandhi who has steered the party for 18 years. The sources said if an advisory board is indeed formed, it will signal the party’s moving towards Rahul Gandhi’s elevation. They said it will also reflect a collective and consultative leadership within the Grand Old Party. Sonia Gandhi had headed the national advisory councils during the previous two UPA governments and is also likely to head the advisory board.

Indian students told to leave US university Fourty Indian students fail to meet the requirements of their admissions to computer sciences programme of the Western Kentucky University; 25 students told to pack their bags IANS, WASHINGTON

t least 25 Indian students in their first semester of computer sciences programme at Western Kentucky University have been asked to return to India or find placement in other schools because they did not meet the admission standards of the varsity, The New York Times said on Tuesday as Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on a US visit. Some 60 Indian students were enrolled for the programme in January and the university was said to have used international recruiters to enrol them. James Gary, the chairman of Western Kentucky’s computer science programme, told the Times that “almost 40” of the students did not meet the requirements of their admissions, even though they were offered remedial help by the university. This means that 35 students may be allowed to continue while 25 “must leave”, the newspaper said. Gary said permitting the students to continue in the programme would “be throwing good money after bad” because they were unable to write computer programmes, a necessary part of the curriculum and a skill that US schools teach to undergraduates.

Short takes Qatar releases 23 Indian prisoners NEW DELHI: Qatar has released 23 Indian prisoners following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the Gulf nation as part of his ongoing five-nation sojourn. The prisoners were released on June 6, a day after Modi was in Doha where he met Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad AlThani. The release is part of an annual Ramadan tradition of granting pardons by the Qatar government. “A special gesture to mark the start of a special month (Ramadan). The government of Qatar releases 23 prisoners, who will return home to India,” Modi tweeted on June 7.

Whole world attracted to India, says Modi

The Western Kentucky University campus in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

“If they come out of here without the ability to write programmes, that’s embarrassing to my department,” Gary said, explaining why the university could not permit them to continue. The students had been admitted after a recruitment campaign in India where advertisements were run offering “spot admission” to the university, as well as tuition discounts. The university Senate has now endorsed a resolution expressing concern about the recruitment campaign which was part of the university’s efforts to lift enrolment and

Modi assures all help to Indian workers in Gulf IANS, DOHA

rime Minister Narendra Modi on June 4 assured Indian workers in the Gulf countries all help from the Indian government while advising them to keep working hard though also taking care of their health. “Maybe none of you know me. But you must be feeling good that somebody has come from India to meet you,” said a smiling Modi as he addressed a gathering of workers dressed in bright yellow uniforms at a free medical camp organised by the Indian Community Benevolent Fund (ICBF) and the Indian Doctors Community (IDC) in this Gulf nation. “My first programme here in

Doha is meeting you,” he said. Modi said that he looked into the things and changes the workers wished for as they worked here. “I will work to my best extent to help you,” he said. Modi also said that India was looking at a good monsoon this year. “I have good news for you. This year the monsoon will be good in India,” he said.

revenue in the face of deep state budget cuts, the newspaper said. The university, in a statement, said it had altered its international recruitment efforts in India. The school will also send members of the computer science faculty to India to meet with students before offers of admission are made in the future. The chairman of the Indian Student Association at Western Kentucky University, Aditya Sharma, has expressed concern about the students who have been asked to leave. “I definitely feel badly for these students,” said Sharma, a graduate

student in public health administration. “They’ve come so far. They’ve invested money into it.” But he admitted that some of the students had adopted what he called a “casual” approach to their studies. “They could not meet their G.P.A. (grade point average), so the university had to take this decision.” This is not the first time that Indian students in the US have faced problems. In April, over 300 Indian students were forced to leave their respective schools in the US.

DOHA: With the enhancement of India’s image globally, the whole world is attracted to India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on June 5. “Today the whole world is attracted to India, is curious about India,” Modi said while addressing an Indian community reception here on the second and concluding day of his two-day visit to Qatar. Modi said that people of India living in Qatar were never away from India even for a minute. “They are reliving India on the soil of Qatar,” he said. At around 630,000, Indians comprise the largest expatriate population in this Gulf nation. Modi said that the change in India has not happened due to Narendra Modi, but due to India’s 1.25 billion people.

Shock over UCLA Indian-origin shooter IANS, KOLKATA

olleagues and a former school teacher of IndianAmerican Mainak Sarkar have expressed shock and sadness over news of the researcher fatally shooting his wife and a University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) professor before turning the gun on himself. Sarkar, 38, fatally shot engineering professor William Klug, 39, in his office at the UCLA on Wednesday. Klug had refused to give him a passing grade. Before killing Klug, he killed his wife Ashley Hasti, who was found dead in Brooklyn Park, in Minnesota. He passed his ICSE exam from St. Michael’s School in Durgapur town of West Bengal’s Burdwan district, before clearing Class 11 and 12 from another shcool.

Lily Chowdhury, biology teacher at St. Michael’s, described the news of the shootout as “very shocking”. “He was a very brilliant student, meritorious student, I should say. He was one of the toppers of the class. He was the pride of our school,” said Chowdhury.

She remembers Sarkar as “very well behaved”. “I knew him till his ICSE. He was reserved, not the very outgoing type. I should not say that he was an introvert. But yes, he was not the type who would go around and make friends very quickly,” she said.

IS burns 19 caged Yazidi girls The Islamic State terrorists took over 3,000 Yezidi girls as sex slaves after they overran Sinjar in northwest Iraq in 2014; the victims were set ablaze in front of a large crowd

‘Global threat from IS remains’

IANS/AKI, MOSUL

ilitants from the Islamic State group executed 19 Yezidi girls who refused to be sex slaves by burning them alive inside iron cages, news site ARA News reported.

Nobody could do anything to save them from the brutal punishment,” a witness said.

SHORT TAKES N Korea to go ahead with its n-programme PYONGYANG: North Korea on June 7 announced it would continue developing its nuclear weapons programme which, it claimed, did not pose a threat to peace. “The weapons are not aimed at posing a threat to peace,” said June 7 edition of Rodong Simnum, the official daily of the North Korean Workers’ Party. Pyongyang also plans to “actively pursue a diplomatic policy that is commensurate with its enhanced global status”, which it has gained due to its nuclear weapons programme, the daily said.

Mass grave found near newly-freed Fallujah BAGHDAD: Iraqi forces found a mass grave containing about 400 decomposed bodies in a newlyfreed town northwest of Islamic State (IS) stronghold Fallujah, a source said on June 6. During a mine clearing operation on June 5 in Shuhadaa district, security forces discovered the burial site believed to contain the bodies of both security members and civilians, Xinhua quoted the source as saying. “Most of the bodies have been shot in the head, apparently by IS extremist militants,” he said.

Kurdistan. IS continues to hold about 1,800 abducted Yezidi women and girls in Iraq and Syria, according to Kurdistan regional government officials. During a lightening offensive in 2014, the IS captured Mosul, making it the ‘capital’ of its self-styled

Caliphate, which extends across a swathe of territory in Iraq and Syria. Supported by air strikes from the US-led coalition, by Kurdish Peshmerga troops and a Shiadominated paramilitary force, Iraqi forces on March 24 began a long-awaited offensive to re-take Mosul from the IS.

UNITED NATIONS: The global threat emanating from Islamic State (IS) remains high, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said in a report. The continued military pressure exerted in Iraq and Syria by international coalition forces has led to serious military setbacks for IS, Xinhua quoted Ban as saying in the report issued on June 6. “However, even though the territorial expansion of IS in both states (Syria and Iraq) has been halted and, in part reversed over recent months, many (UN) member states have noted that IS is not yet strategically and irreversibly weakened.” “A worrying factor is that no member state has reported that IS is short on, or lacks, arms or ammunition,” he said.

Kerry decries rights abuse in China IANS, BEIJING

S Secretary of State John Kerry on June 7 denounced human rights violations in China and expressed concern over the country’s recently-approved law on foreign nonprofits. During his speech at the closing ceremony of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Beijing, Kerry said he had put forward “international concern” over the infringements of the freedoms of expression and religion in China and remonstrated against the persecution of lawyers, religious heads

and civil society leaders, EFE news reported. Kerry also criticised the Foreign NGO Management Law passed by the Chinese Legislature in April, set to enter into force in 2017, and which has triggered an internation-

al outcry due to the widespread perception it will make the work of such groups in the country more difficult. Kerry stressed again the importance of allowing such organisations to continue functioning effectively, adding they are working to build understanding between the two countries. Chinese State advisor Yang Jiechi responded to the criticisms on the same platform saying that the “progress” in human rights in China has been widely acknowledged and that the country’s citizens enjoy freedom in matters of both expression and religion.

SC reserves verdict on Jaya’s acquittal The bench was told these companies were used as “receptacles of ill-gotten cash” IANS, NEW DELHI

he Supreme Court on june 6 reserved its verdict on the Karnataka government’s appeal challenging acquittal of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa and three others in a corruption case even as Karnataka sought attachment of assets of the six companies used for channelizing the alleged ill-gotten wealth. Counsel for the state told the vacation bench of Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose and Justice Amitava Roy that these companies were used as “receptacles of ill-gotten

cash for which no explanation was given during investigation nor during the trial”. A Bengaluru trial court by its September 24, 2014 verdict had directed the confiscation of the properties registered in the name of six companies to the state government. However, the Karnataka High Court by its May 11, 2014 verdict, had set aside the confiscation. The Karnataka government had appealed against the high court’s May 11 order reversing the trial court order of September 27, 2014, convicting Jayalalithaa, her aide N. Sasikala Natrajan and her two relatives V.N. Sudhakaran and Elavarasi

Adjust loans from security Mallya deposited in HC: Tribunal BENGALURU: The Debt Recovery Tribunal on June 6 suggested the State Bank of India (SBI) adjust the Rs.2,000 crore security beleaguered tycoon Vijay Mallya deposited in the Karnataka High Court earlier against loans his holding firm UBHL raised to fund his now defunct Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. “Adjust loans Mallya owes you from Rs.2,000 crore United Breweries Holding Ltd deposited in the Karnataka High Court in cases related to his airline,” tribunal presiding officer Justice C.R. Benkanahalli told SBI counsel in the bank’s Rs.9,091 crore debt recovery case here.

for allegedly amassing disproportionate assets to the tune of Rs. 66.65 crores during her first term as Chief Minister from 1991 to 1996. Appearing for Karnataka, senior counsel Sidharrth Luthra told the bench that these companies were acquired with Sasikala Natrajan, Sudhakaran and Elavarasi replacing the erstwhile directors, “after which accounts were opened and a large amount of cash was deposited into these accounts”. These companies were IndoDoha Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals, ALex Property Development, Meadows Agro Farms Ltd, among others.

Karnataka transport minister promotes electric vehicles IANS, BENGALURU

arnataka Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy rode on a battery-driven bicycle on June 5 here to promote greater use of electric vehicles and mark the World Environment Day. “Electric vehicles are future of road transport as they are economical, energy eco-friendly and energy efficient. Technologies have to be developed to make them affordable, sustainable and safe for all,” he said. Flagging off a 15km electric vehicles rally in the city’s southern suburb, Reddy said the state government was encouraging people to use more electric cars and bikes by waiving road taxes on them so as to reduce air pollution and car-

bon emission. “Promotional events like car and bike rallies, exhibitions and work-

shops will not only create awareness on benefits of electric vehicles to commute, but also inspire peo-

ple to switch over from petrol and diesel vehicles,” he said. Exhorting people to participate in such events in large numbers to set an example, Reddy said the need for using electric vehicles was more in cities like Bengaluru, which is choking with around six million petrol and diesel vehicles. “If majority of people use electric cars and bikes for commuting in and around the city, Bengaluru will be a better place to live again, with clean air and greenery as in the past,” he said. Responding to the minister’s call, Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation Managing Director Ekroop Caur said the state-run operator was keen on using more electric buses though some of them

were being used on pilot basis. “As evolving with changing times is essential for sustenance, electric vehicles will be the new transport mode as they are ecofriendly, cost-effective and pollution-free. We are keen on learning and adapting them through strategic tie-ups,” Caur said . BMTC was first in the country to launch a battery-operated zero emission bus service in February 2014 on trial basis with trips on main routes across the city. As the imported vehicle was cost prohibitive (Rs.2.7 crore) and its battery needed six hour charging for plying 250 km, its service was discontinued after three months though it was popular with commuters.

Djokovic wins his first French title Defeats Britain’s Andy Murray 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 to become eighth man in history to complete career Grand Slam

Muguruza clinches French Open crown

IANS, PARIS

erbian tennis star Novak Djokovic on June 5 won his first French Open title, after defeating Britain’s Andy Murray 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 in 3 hours and three minutes in an overcast day here, thus becoming the eighth man in history to complete the career Grand Slam. It was his fourth Grand Slam title in a row. The last man to hold all titles at the same time was Rod Laver in 1969. It was the British World No.2 who made the stronger start as he won four of the first five games after dropping serve in the opening game. He was able to dictate play with his powerful serve and then easily served out the set at 6-3. In the second set, Murray got an early break point but Djokovic snuffed that out and held serve in the opening game. Murray’s first serve began to falter and the World No.1 was able to gradually stamp his

authority on the match with his aggressive returns and dominated proceedings. In the third set, Murray checked the onslaught by holding in the first game but at 1-1, some poor volleying from Murray enabled Djokovic to reach breakpoint and he broke serve on another simple volley error from Murray.

Thereafter Murray was in constant trouble on his serve and the Serbian was quick to run down a good drop shot to hit a cross court winner for the double break to 4-1. During the last set, on his third championship point, Murray’s backhand won the net and Djokovic fell on his back after completing a famous victory.

panish tennis player Garbine Muguruza beat World No.1 and defending champion Serena Williams 7-5, 6-4 to win her maiden Grand Slam crown at the French Open here on June 4. With this win, four different women have won the last four slams. Serena was looking for a 22nd Grand Slam which would have equalled the Open Era record of Steffi Graf. Muguruza, 22, is the first Spanish woman to win here since Arantxa Sánchez Vicario beat Monica Seles in the final in 1998 and will rise to No.2 in the rankings. Moreover, she becomes the youngest first-time Major winner

since Victoria Azarenka at the 2012 Australian Open. In the first set of the final, Muguruza started strong as she had at Wimbledon in 2015. She had led 3-1 only to lose 4-6, 4-6. This time, with the experience behind her, she was able to stay strong. Despite losing her lead at 4-2, she staved off two breakpoints to serve out the first set 75 coming up with the big serves when needed. She broke to start the second set to break Williams with some powerful returns and ground strokes. Then there was a long dramatic game which saw championship points come and go. Muguruza retained her composure to win the match.

THE GREATEST

loses his final bout After a 32-year battle with Parkinson’s disease, Muhammad Ali, the three-time heavyweight champion, passed away at the age of 74 AJEYO BASU, NEW DELHI

Video about Ali goes viral on net

uhammad Ali was not a mere boxer, he was much more, the greatest as he claimed and adored by millions around the globe. He was not loved for his amazing boxing skills alone, more for his endearing beliefs. He was an inspiration for not only sports persons but also to millions around the world. His fearlessness gave the blacks the confidence to fight for their rights. Born on January 17, 1942 as Cassius Marcellus Clay in Louisville, a small town in Kentucky alongside the Ohio river, Ali was the first to win the world heavyweight title three times. Clay first shot to fame at the global level by winning the lightheavyweight gold at the 1960 Rome Olympics as a supremely talented 18-year-old. Strangely for a boxer who knocked down fearsome opponents in the ring with such flamboyance, Clay at first refused to travel with the US boxing squad to Rome due to his fear of flying. Eventually, he bought a second hand parachute and wore it on the flight. It was worth all the effort. On September 5, 1960 he beat Zbigniew Pietrzykowski of Poland to become the Olympic champion. He received a hero’s welcome when the team returned to New York, but the reality of the segregated US society hit home when he got back to Kentucky and was refused a table in a restaurant. Ali claimed in his 1975 autobiography that it prompted him to throw away his Olympic medal in disgust. He turned professional soon after with Angelo Dundee -- who would contribute so much to his boxing success -- as his trainer. Clay stunned the critics and boxing fans around the globe by defeating the seemingly unbeatable Sonny Liston to become the world heavyweight boxing champion at the age of 22. In the build up to the fight, Clay had taunted Liston and predicted that he will win by knockout. He coined one of his most famous quotes, “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, his hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see”

Muhammad Ali stunned the critics and boxing fans around the globe by defeating the seemingly unbeatable Sonny Liston to become the world heavyweight boxing champion at the age of 22.

When the legend was in Kolkata KOLKATA: Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, who passed away at the age of 74 in the US late on June 3, had described Jack Johnson as the greatest boxer of all time during a visit to the city during Christmas in 1990. Ali, who had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease for 32 years until his death, was here on a personal visit and stayed in the city for three days. Veteran boxing administrator Asit Banerjee, who saw Ali from close quarters during the visit, says it was an “emotional” feeling. “I had met him in Karachi before, but 1990 was an emotional experience. I considered him an icon and here I was meeting him again. I could touch him, sit and talk to him. People called him ‘The Greatest’, many called him ‘God’ but I cannot express the feeling in words,” Banerjee said. Banerjee said the three time World Heavyweight boxing champion had then denied he was the ‘Greatest’ boxer of all time. “In 83’ (in Karachi) he was full of force. He asked me, ‘who says I am the greatest’?, I said, ‘You have only said it sometime back’, Banerjee recalled.

Will Smith to be pallbearer for the champion’s funeral LOS ANGELES: Actor Will Smith and former professional boxer Lennox Lewis have been named as pallbearers at late boxing legend Muhammad Ali’s funeral, which will take place on June 10. Smith, who portrayed the boxer in the 2001 film about his life called “Ali”, and Lennox will be among the 15,000 people who are expected to attend the funeral service in Louisville, reports express.co.uk.

Ali became a hate figure for sections of the white American public and barely more than 2,000 people turned up to see his rematch with Liston, which he controversially won with a first-round knockout. But Ali’s Muslim faith and his strong conviction to stand up for his beliefs cost him dearly when he refused conscription to join the US Army during the Vietnam War.

It will be preceded by a Jenazah — an Islamic funeral prayer programme — which will also be open to the public at the Freedom Hall, where Ali made his professional debut with a victory over Tunney Hunsaker in 1960.

After Ali’s title defense against Zora Folley on March 22, 1967 he was stripped of his title due to his refusal to be drafted to army service. His boxing license was also suspended by the state of New York. Ali appealed against the ban and eventually in 1971, the US Supreme Court overturned his conviction in a unanimous 8-0 ruling. But his enforced absence had taken its toll on his speed and physical form and in 1971 he was beat-

LOS ANGELES (CALIFORNIA): An old video recorded in 1981 has gone viral on the internet as it captured a priceless moment of boxing legend Muhammad Ali saving a man from committing suicide, a truly heroic action from a real-life hero. In the video recorded by CBS News, Ali volunteered to go up onto the ledge of the ninth floor of a building in Los Angeles and talked to a young man threatening to jump out from the window, reports Xinhua. According to reports, back in 1981, Ali was hanging out when he heard people talking about a man sitting on a ledge of the Miracle Mile office building and preparing to end his life. Police and members of the 21year-old’s family had all tried to reason with him but to no avail. So the boxer rushed to the scene and after 20 minutes, Ali finally talked the man down.

en for the first time in his professional career by the legendary Joe Frazier on March 8, 1971 in what was termed as the ‘Fight of the Century’ in New York. Ali would get his revenge three years later. One of the greatest moments in Ali’s career came on October 30, 1974 when he knocked out reigning champion George Foreman in Zaire in a fight famously billed the ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ to regain the world championship title.. Ali fought Frazier for a third and final time in the Philippines on October 1, 1975, coming out on top in the “Thrilla in Manila”. Ali’s career ended with one-sided defeats by Larry Holmes in 1980 and Trevor Berbick in 1981, many thinking he should have retired long before. Ali retired in 1981 and soon found signs of sluggishness and neurological damage. He thereafter received treatment for Parkinson’s disease. The legendary boxer had been hospitalized several times in recent years, including in early 2015 with a severe urinary infection that was initially diagnosed as pneumonia.

A modern take on marriage Nelson Venkatesan’s film addresses marriage from the perspective of different people IANS, CHENNAI

ebutant director Nelson Venkatesan says forthcoming Tamil drama “Oru Naal Koothu”, a modern-day take on marriage, will be easily relatable to a majority of the audience. “The story revolves around questions that arise when we talk about marriage. It will easily appeal to eight out of ten people in the audience. A decade or two ago people didn’t fear when it came to marriage. However, wedding comes with a lot of stress nowadays and it all boils down to impressing people on the day of the marriage,” Nelson told IANS. The film addresses marriage from the perspective of different people. “The story is based on the experiences of many people from my own life. When it comes to marriage, there are so many problems lately,” Nelson said “People don’t want to get their daughter married to a lawyer or to those working in the media. We’ve tried to touch upon such issues too in the film,” he added.

It stars Dinesh, Mia George, Nivetha Pethuraj, Ritwika and Karunakaran. “Oru Naal Koothu”, which releases in cinemas on Friday, happens to be Dinesh’s first release after the National award-winning

Tamil film “Visaaranai”. Nelson said Dinesh found it difficult to detach himself from “Visaaranai”, because the role in the film took a toll on him. “He had a tiring time working on the film. After ‘Visaaranai’, he

Special jail set being erected for Chiranjeevi’s 150th film IANS, CHENNAI

huge prison set is being constructed under the supervision of National Award winning art director Thota Tharani for megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming 150th film, which is tentatively titled “Kathilantodu”. “Some of the initial portion of the film takes place in a prison. The team has been working on this set since the beginning of this month. Chiranjeevi will play one

of the inmates who escapes from the prison,” a source from the film’s unit told IANS. To be directed by V.V. Vinayak, the film is the official Telugu remake of Tamil blockbuster “Kaththia. Chiranjeevi will be seen essaying dual roles. Ram Charan will be producing this project under his newly floated family banner. The principal shooting will commence from June 20 in Hyderabad’s Ramoji Film City.

CHENNAI: The makers of Kamal Haasan-starrer “Sabaash Naidu”, which will simultaneously be made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi has gone on the floors in Los Angeles. “First day’s shooting going smoothly for the two Naidus and one Kundu. Great dancers, great crew,” Haasan wrote on his Twitter page on June 7. The film is a spinoff on the popular character Balram Naidu from Haasan’s 2010 Tamil film “Dasavatharam”. In the film, which also features Shruti Haasan, Ramya Krishnan, Roger Narayanan and Saurabh Shukla, Haasan will return as RAW operative Balram Naidu. While Shruti will play Haasan’s reel daughter, Ramya Krishnan will be seen as the wife. Popular star comedian Brahmanandam will play Haasan’s sidekick in the film, which will be directed by T.K. Rajeev Kumar.

looked very tired and he took time to join the sets of my film. While we started shooting from March 2015, Dinesh joined us only in June. I wanted him to take enough time to rest,” he said. The biggest challenge for Nelson

was to ensure there was no hangover of Dinesh’s character from “Visaaranai” in his film. “We changed everything about Dinesh. He had to undergo personal grooming session and we even changed his hairstyle to ensure that he looked appealing. We hope audience will like the Dinesh they will see in the film,” he added. Unlike his previous roles, Dinesh plays an urban character. “He plays a guy from a small town who has shifted to a metropolitan,” Nelson said. “Although he plays an urban character, you can still find the essence of a small-town guy in his character and the way it’s portrayed,” he added. Nelson is all praise for his heroines - Mia, Nivetha and Ritwika. “Mia plays an angelic character. She has done justice to her role. While Nivetha is a newcomer, you won’t find any sign of that in the film. Ritwika is extremely talented and she pulled off a different role very convincingly,” he explained. Produced by Selva Kumar, the film has music by Justin Prabhakaran.

The movie is likely to be seen as politically disastrous for the state’s ruling party, the Shrimoni Akali Dal which is a partner with the ruling-National Democratic Alliance at the Center IANS, MUMBAI/CHANDIGARH

‘No film more honest than Udta Punjab’

he makers of Bollywood film "Udta Punjab" are said to have been asked by the Revising Committee of the censor board to remove all references to Punjab — a decision perhaps taken under pressure from the ruling dispensation in the state which is dealing with a festering problem of drugs. "Udta Punjab", a Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh starrer movie, delves into how the youth there have succumbed to drugs. The release of the movie in a year when the state is less than nine months from assembly elections is likely to be seen as politically disastrous for the state’s ruling party, the Shrimoni Akali Dal which is a partner with the ruling-National Democratic Alliance at the Center. Earlier, there was buzz that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had refused a release certificate for the Abhishek Chaubey directed movie, but later the mak-

A source in the know of developments told IANS that the board’s primary demand is to remove all the references to Punjab, but the number of cuts is not clear as they are still awaiting an “official letter”.

“We haven’t received a letter yet. We don’t know how many cuts, but we can tell you that their basic demand is that any reference of Punjab should be deleted from the movie... Which then means a lot of cuts,” the source told IANS. The source added: “They want the film to be set in a fictitious space and not Punjab. Makers are not going to adhere to it. They will

Otherwise, we will go to the court.” It is believed the CBFC’s decision is politically motivated, but the Akali Dal never officially sought a ban on "Udta Punjab". Senior leaders in the party told IANS in Chandigarh that the party leadership was feeling uncomfortable with the way the drug abuse problem of Punjab was being projected and could harm the political interests of the Akalis in assembly polls in February next year. Studies done by various agencies and organizations in recent years have indicated that substance abuse, including drugs, is rampant across Punjab, especially in rural areas. The extent of the substance abuse is put by some surveys at over 70 per cent out of Punjab’s 2.8 crore population. Co-produced by Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane and Vikas Bahl as part of their Phantom Films banner, along with Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor, Aman Gill and Sameer Nair, “Udta Punjab” is slated to release on June 17.

Shooting for Mohit Suri's ‘Housefull 3’: Nothing salvages this pathetic comedy except Akshay 'Half Girlfriend' begins NEW DELHI: The shooting for film director Mohit Suri's Half Girlfriend, which is based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel and stars actors Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, has begun. Co-produced by Chetan Bhagat, Half Girlfriend is an adaptation of an eponymous novel by the author. The news of the shoot was shared by Bhagat, who tweeted: "Hi Guys, meet Madhav Jha. Half Girlfriend starts shoot today in Delhi. ATB Mohit Suri, Arjun Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor." "Finally, the story comes to life. Big day as Half Girlfriend begins shoot! Mohit Suri, Shraddha Kapoor," Bhagat posted along Arjun, who will be with a photograph seen playing the of the film's clapcharacter of perboard.

othing prepares you for the assault on all aesthetic consideration in this mirthless, and worthless, comedy. Nothing at all. Not even the opening when Nikitin Dheer, Samir Kochhar and Arav Chowdhary loot jewellery like they had just seen "Dhoom: 2" for the third time. Besides Akshay Kumar battling bravely to beef up the burlesque, there is no one to salvage the comedy about three losers (yes that’s how they are described by their girl friends) eyeing a London Gujarati millionaire’s wealth. Or maybe ‘eyeing’ is not the right word considering Riteish Deshmukh plays blind to obtain entry into the Gujarati’s mansion and millions. Later Riteish turns paraplegic while Akshay turns blind, Abhishek turns….well, let’s just say he tries to mock some other human disability. One being interchangeable with another. Perhaps one disability that Indian cinema needs to address is the failure to be funny in lowbrow comedies. Mocking the disabled, ridiculing skin color (one dark skinned child is described as “single-screen type”) and pervasively attacking good taste do not constitute the integral ingredients

of comedy. It gets worse when the purported humor chooses to get repetitive for no other reason except to keep the proceedings moving even after the plot has lost all its steam. The second-half is dotted with unmistakable evidence of a writer’s block. The gags virtually come to a standstill while the writers figure out ways to keep the spirit of comedy from collapsing completely. Standing at the Center of this mirthless mess is Akshay Kumar trying to infuse life into irremediably dead scenes. He is saddled with the task of playing a split personality, a psychological vanity that the script is ill equipped to handle. The “comedy” is much better off

Film: "Housefull 3"; Directed by Sajid-Farhad; Starring: Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff, Lisa Haydon, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri; Rating: * insulting every minority and majority group of people. While Akshay and his two partners in crime Abhishek and Riteish manage to whip up a semblance of self-pleasuring in the chaos of conflicting interests, the three heroines vie for the honor of being the worst actresses.

Bal Vihar celebrates Annual Day BY A STAFF WRITER T LOUIS, MO -- Bal Vihar celebrated its Annual Day recently, marking the completion of 23 years of Bal Vihar’s existence and delivering cultures and values to the local community. Over the years, a large number of children of Indian origin has marched through the structured curriculum that inculcates the core value of Indian culture. These children have grown to become a leader not only at their schools but also at workplaces and communities.

Gough speaks on best practices in translation

BY A STAFF WRITER ASHINGTON, D.C. – Lance Gough, Executive Director of the Chicago Election Board, has credited the late Mayor Harold with inspiring the wide-ranging language outreach programs that the Chicago Election Board offers. “Mayor Washington taught me that if you take care of the community, the community will take care of you,” Gough said. “In every community, we have to listen to the needs of all of the organizations, and we have to work together year-round, not just election time.” Gough made the remarks as a guest speaker on the best practices for offering voter language assistance under the federal Voting Rights Act. The US Election Assistance Commission hosted the national gathering of election officials and voting-rights organizations. By law, Chicago is required to offer ballots and language assistance in Spanish, Chinese and Hindi but also provides certain voter services in Polish and Korean. “We have to be at the health fares, parades and ethnic celebrations registering people to vote. Just as important, we have to listen to the organizations’ needs,” Gough said. “That’s how you build coalitions to pass laws for Election Day Registration, Online Registration and now Election Day Registration. That’s how you can work together at election time to find poll workers, polling places and promoting options like vote by mail and early voting.”

Two-thirds of Indian kids not vaccinated on time BY A STAFF WRITER NN ARBOR, MI -- India is a leading producer and exporter of vaccines but two-thirds of Indian children do not receive vaccinations on time, which makes them susceptible to diseases and contributes to untimely deaths. Research conducted by the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health found that only 18 per cent of children are vaccinated with the recommended three doses of DPT vaccine, while about a third receive the measles vaccination by 10 months under the government-supported immunization program. “This is a systemic problem,” said the study’s lead author, Nijika Shrivastwa, who recently finished her doctorate in epidemiology at University of Michigan and is now at the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. “Immunizing a child six months after the recommended time period can have dramatic implications for a child’s

vulnerability to diseases,” the Indian American researcher said. Although India is a leading producer and exporter of vaccines, the country has the greatest number of deaths among children under 5; the majority are from vaccine-preventable diseases. “Every year, 26 million children are born in India--the greatest number by far of any country in the world,” said Matthew Boulton, senior associate dean for global public health at the U-M School of Public Health. “Adding vast numbers of new children who need vaccination, while the older ones

remain under or unvaccinated because of immunization delays, is like walking too slowly on a moving treadmill--you continuously fall further back,” he said. According to the University of Michigan, the researchers found that only 12 per cent of children are vaccinated with the measles vaccine by the required age of 9 months, although 75 per cent are vaccinated by age 5. This delay in vaccination can contribute to frequent outbreaks of measles in India. “Approximately, 95 per cent vaccination is required in a population to successfully stop measles outbreaks. India’s childhood vaccination rate is simply too low to successfully control transmission of disease and prevent measles-related childhood illnesses and deaths,” Boulton said. The study looked at the vaccination rate of nearly 270,000 children in the District Level Household and Facility survey data from 2008, a nationally representative sample.

Davinder Singh

BY A STAFF WRITER EWARK, NJ -- A gas station owner was shot dead in Newark and the man’s family said they thought he was targeted because he was Sikh. Davinder Singh, 47, was shot at the Power Gas Station on West Market Street some time before 4:25 pm on June 6. The police said Singh, of Iselin, was found unresponsive at the gas station and taken to a University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly before 4:45 pm. Singh’s son, Jatinder Singh, said that he thought his father, who had moved to the United States from India 25 years ago, might have been

targeted because he was Sikh and wore a turban. “There was no robbery, no struggle, no confrontation,” he said. “I don’t know what else it could be other than a hate crime.” The son said the 47-year-old had been robbed before but had always fought back. But this time, he didn’t even have a chance. “My dad came out to get some fresh air and the male came up to my dad, pointed a gun and shot him point-blank,” he said. Detectives from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Major Crimes Task Force are investigating the shooting. They didn’t comment as to whether the case was being investigated as a hate crime.

Drug firm to pay $7.8m: contaminated syringes BY A STAFF WRITER ETHLEHEM, PA -- A Pennsylvania drug and medical device manufacturer has agreed to pay up to $7.8 million Dushyant Patel for selling contaminated syringes bought from a company headed by Indian American Dushyant Patel, federal prosecutors said. B. Braun will avoid criminal charges in exchange for implementing procedures to improve oversight of its suppliers, authorities said on May 18. The company will pay $4.8 million in penalties and forfeited profits, plus up to $3 million in restitution. The company, based in Melsungen, Germany, has US headquarters in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The settlement comes in response to the sale of contaminated syringes that prosecutors say led to an outbreak of bacterial infections and at least five deaths. The syringes were branded B. Braun but made by another firm. The allegations stemmed from an investigation by the US Food and Drug Administration that started after a 2007 outbreak that sickened more than 100 people across the country. The company started buying saline syringes from AM2PAT in North Carolina in March 2006 and announced a voluntary recall of the needles because of particles found in them that the FDA said could cause damage to the brain, heart and other organs. B. Braun then resumed buying the syringes from AM2PAT that were found to be contaminated with bacteria that can cause blood infections. Two of AM2PAT’s employees pleaded guilty in the federal case, and the company’s president, Dushyant Patel, was indicted in 2009 but fled the country.

2 Indian brothers get 7 yrs for visa fraud BY A STAFF WRITER EXAS - - Tw o Indian-

American brothers have been sentenced to over seven years in prison for committing fraud in H1B visa programme, popular among IT and software professionals, to create a low-cost workforce in the US. Atul Nanda, 46, and Jiten ‘Jay’ Nanda, 45, were each sentenced by Chief US District Judge Barbara MG Lynn in Texas to 87 months in federal prison. The brothers, who have been on bond, were remanded to the custody of the US Marshals Service. Owners of Dibon Solutions, an IT consulting company located in Texas, the brothers recruited foreign workers with expertise who wanted to work in the US. They sponsored the workers’ H-1B visa with the stated purpose of working at Dibon headquarters in Carrolton, Texas but did not have an actual position at the time they were recr uited and knew the workers would ultimately provide consulting services to thirdparty companies located throughout the US.

Indian cop charged with murder attempt BY A STAFF WRITER ALM BEACH, FL -- A former Florida police officer was arrested and charged last week in the fatal shooting of a black musician after a grand jury found that he had used unjustified force. Nouman Raja was charged with manslaughter and attempted first-degree murder with a firearm, Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg said at a news conference. If convicted, he could be sent down for five years. Raja, 38, was fired from the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department after the October 18 shooting of 31-year-old Corey Jones. In late April, Aronberg said he would turn evidence over to a grand jury since his

19 Hindu festivals now in NJ school holiday list BY A STAFF WRITER ERSEY CITY, NJ -- New Jersey’s School Board of Education (NJSBE) has added 19 Hindu festivals to its religious holiday list, which would permit school-going students in the state to take leave on those days, without any repercussions. ‘The List of Religious Holidays Permitting Student Absence from School’ included four festivals in October itself, including Navaratri, which alone is listed for 10 days. This “list of religious holidays on which it shall be mandatory to excuse a student” includes the Hindu festivals of Guru Purnima, Naga Panchami, Raksha Bandhan, Krishna Janmashtami, Ganesha Chaturthi, Onam, Navaratri, Duserra, Diwali, Goverdhan Puja, Makar Sankranti, Pongal, Vasant Panchami, Maha Shivaratri, Holi, Chandramana Yugadi, Souramana Yugadi, Ramnavami and Hanuman Jayanti. The Universal Society of Hinduism had urged the Board in the past to include five festivals on the list, which are now included in this list. According to the NJSBE resolution, “Any student absent from school because of a religious holiday may not be deprived of any award or of eligibility or opportunity to compete for any award because of such absence.”

Nouman Raja

office’s investigation had been inconclusive. Jones’ death contributed to the national debate over the use of excessive force by law enforcement officers. Raja, who was driving an unmarked

van and wearing plain clothes when he approached Jones in the early morning hours, fired six shots at Jones within 13 seconds, according to a probable cause affidavit released by prosecutors. Jones, who was hit three times, died of a gunshot wound to his chest. According to the affidavit, Jones never fired a .380-caliber handgun that was recovered at the scene, which he had purchased legally three days earlier. Audio from the shooting was captured on a recording of a roadside assistance call Jones had placed after his vehicle broke down before Raja arrived. The recording showed that Raja had not identified himself as a police officer. It said he was unaware of the open call.

CT fund manager embezzles $54m

9-yr-old Indian prodigy creates smart watch for kids BY A STAFF WRITER AN MATEO, CA -- A 9-year-old Indian American boy Omkar GovilNair, a fourth grader from Union City, California, showcased his smart watch for kids ‘O Watch’, at the Maker Faire, held at the San Mateo Event Center, this past weekend. The young entrepreneur has been going to the Maker Faire since he was four years old, “I made the smart watch for kids so they can easily learn programming, design and 3-D printing,” Govil-Nair said. He described his product’s Arduino compatibility and its programming platform, which combines C and C+. “That’s programming language,” he explained. “I learned it when I was 6.” Omkar, along with his mom and dad, joined more than 1,300 “makers” displaying their wares at what has become a destination gathering for the past 11 years. The annual Maker Faire attracted more than 150,000 visitors over three days, organizers said. Shubha Govil, a product manager for Cisco, helped her son staff his smart-watch booth Saturday. Since February, aided by a Kickstarter campaign, about 200 ‘O Watches’ have already been sold for as much as $109 apiece. Omkar’s parents know enough to stay in the background.

G N I M O C P U

BY A STAFF WRITER REENWICH, CT -- A Connecticut fund manager who fled the United States after being hit with criminal insider trading charges has been indicted for engaging in a separate scheme to embezzle $54 million from the private equity firm for which he worked. Iftikar Ahmed, a former general partner at Oak Investment Partners, was named in a seven-count indictment filed in federal court in Boston charging him with having engaged in wire fraud and having made false statements on income tax returns. Prosecutors said that Ahmed, 44, embezzled the more than $54 million from the firm from 2004 to 2015 by submitting false invoices, overstating prices of business deals he orchestrated on the fund’s behalf and by setting up fraudulent bank accounts. The indictment alleged that Ahmed used the money to buy a $9.6 million residence in Greenwich, Connecticut, and a luxury New York condominium for about $8.6 million. Ahmed, a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi and Harvard Business School, previously fled to India in May 2015 after prosecutors accused him and longtime friend Amit Kanodia for having engaging in insider trading.

G Omkar Govil Nair

The 3D-printing fan site 3Ders.org spotlighted the then eight-year-old GovilNair who used his skills to create his very own 3D-printed smartwatch. The watch can be programmed to make games and calculate values, such as the value of Pi. Govil-Nair and his father plan to create two development kits based on the watch, one of which will include more sensors, opening the door to more programmable possibilities. Omkar is not always fiddling with device development and product design. His smart watch can be used for playing games, gauging the temperature and measuring altitude and air pressure. That comes in handy for family hikes, he said.

Celebrities marketing unhealthy food: Study Celebrity food endorsements promote higher product preference, and exposure to any kind of food advertising is linked to “excessive consumption, researchers warn IANS, NEW YORK

vast majority of the food and beverage products endorsed by some of the most popular celebrities in the US are unhealthy, finds a new study. The findings showed that advertisements on fast foods, sweets as well as non-alcoholic beverages like soda and other sugary drinks, were the second-largest in the endorsement category, comprising 18 per cent of endorsements and frequently targetted children and adolescents as the audience. Celebrity food endorsements promote higher product preference, and exposure to any kind of food advertising is linked to “excessive consumption, the researchers warned. “Research has already shown that food advertising leads to overeating and the food industry spends $1 billion per year marketing to youth alone,” lead author Marie Bragg, assistant professor at the New York University (NYU).

Full-calorie soft drinks were the most commonly endorsed in the category. Of 69 beverages endorsed, 49 or 71 per cent were sugar-sweetened. Twenty-one out of 26 food products — or 81 percent — were deemed as “nutrient poor”. In contrast, water-related endorsements appeared only thrice. Also, none of the stars were found endorsing fruits, vegetables or whole grains. Such advertisements have led to an alarming rise in childhood and teenage obesity, the researchers rued in the paper published in the journal Pediatrics. The study used a rigorous nutritional analysis to evaluate the health quotient of food and drinks marketed by music stars, reviewing dozens of advertisements that were disseminated over a 14-year period. “Because of our childhood and teenage obesity public health crises, it is important to raise awareness about how companies are using celebrities popular with these audiences to market their unhealthy products,” added Bragg.

New treatment shows promise against aggressive anal cancer IANS, NEW YORK

esearchers have identified a promising new antibody that can help patients with aggressive and metastatic anal cancer. The findings, of the first clinical trial for metastatic patients, showed that the treatment with antibody nivolumab — one of the drugs represented among the growing arsenal of immunotherapy therapies — may help a majority of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCCA). Metastatic SCCA, a cancer often associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, is normally treated with chemotherapy. However, treatment with nivolumab freed the immune system to attack cancer by disrupting a brake that halts immune response and showed significant response in

70 per cent of patients in the study. “Although a rare malignancy, the incidence is on the rise and has a strong association with the Human papillomavirus (HPV) virus,” said Cathy Eng, professor at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centre. Nivolumab was found to unleash an immune system attack on cancer by blocking the activation of a protein called PD-1 on T cells, white blood cells, viruses or bacteria that have specific targets. PD-1 — turned on by a ligand called PD-L1 often found on cancer cells — acts as a brake, or checkpoint, to shut down activated T cells. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 8,000 people will be diagnosed with anal cancer in the US in 2016 and more than 1,000 people will die from the disease.

The New York University study finds 81 percent food products as ‘nutrient poor’

“As the popularity of celebrities among adolescents makes them uniquely poised to serve as positive role models, they ought to endorse healthy products and aid in exacerbating the society’s struggle with obesity,” added Alysa N. Miller from NYU.

helps couples’ maintain their commitment to their current partners. “When people encounter an enticing temptation, one way to reduce its motivational pull is to devalue the temptation,” Cole added in the paper published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

“This study suggests that there are processes that may occur outside of conscious awareness to make it easier to stay committed to one’s partner,” she noted. For the study, the team designed two studies. In the first study, the researchers told participants that they would be working with a very attractive person - who is either romantically unavailable or single. They were shown the imaginary person’s face with its 10 morphed images and asked to pick the image that matched the original. The results shows that they consistently picked images morphed toward unattractiveness. In the second study, the participants provided more information about their own romantic situations and the team described the imaginary person as single, and therefore, available. Participants in relationships who thought the person was interested in dating found that person less attractive than individuals who were single.

Loneliness can affect your wisdom IANS, TORONTO

F Dietary copper could help you burn fat naturally NEW YORK: Further burnishing copper’s reputation as an essential nutrient for human health, researchers have found the metal plays a key role in metabolizing fat. “We find that copper is essential for breaking down fat cells so that they can be used for energy,” said lead researcher Chris Chang from University of California — Berkeley. “It acts as a regulator. The more copper there is, the more the fat is broken down,” Chang noted. The nutrient is plentiful in foods such as oysters and other shellfish, leafy greens, mushrooms, seeds, nuts and beans. “We think it would be worthwhile to study whether a

deficiency in this nutrient could be linked to obesity and obesity-related diseases,” Chang said. “Copper is not something the body can make, so we need to get it through our diet,” he pointed out. But the researchers caution against ingesting copper supplements as a result of these study results. Too much copper can lead to imbalances with other essential minerals, including zinc. An adult’s estimated average dietary requirement for copper is 700 micrograms per day, according to Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine, National Academies of Sciences in the US.

actors such as whether you are alone or with friends can affect how wisely you reason, says a study that suggests that our level of wisdom varies depending on the situation. The study defines wise reasoning as a combination of such abilities as intellectual humility, consideration of others’ perspective and looking for compromise. “This research does not dismiss that there is a personality component to wisdom, but that’s not the whole picture,” said lead author of the study Igor Grossmann, Professor at the University of Waterloo in Canada. “Situations in daily life affect our personality and ability to reason wisely,” Grossmann said. The observation that wise reasoning varies dramatically across situations in daily life suggests that while it fluctuates, wisdom may not be as rare as we think. Further, for different individuals, only certain situations may promote this quality. “There are many examples where people known for their critical acumen or expertise in ethics

seem to fall prey to lack of such acumen or morals. The present findings suggest that those examples are not an anomaly,” Grossmann said. The study was published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science. “We cannot always be at the top of our game in terms of wisdomrelated tendencies, and it can be dangerous to generalize based on whether people show wisdom in their personal life or when teaching

others in the classroom,” Grossmann noted. By examining conditions and situations under which people may or may not show wisdom in their lives, researchers and practitioners may learn more about situations promoting wisdom in daily life and recreating those situations. For the next stage of this work, Grossmann and his team are preparing a tool to assess wisdom according to the situation.
