iStock/Thinkstock(SAN FRANCISCO) -- The chief executive officer of Bumble Bee Foods has been indicted on one count of price fixing as part of an ongoing investigation that includes at least three other current or former executives at packaged-seafood producers.



A San Francisco grand jury has charged that Christopher Lischewski conspired with others in his industry from November 2010 to December 2013 to eliminate competition and set prices for canned tuna, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement Wednesday.



The government began investigating Bumble Bee Foods, Starkist and Chicken of the Sea more than two years ago, according to the Associated Press. Stephen Hodge, a former executive at StarKist, pleaded guilty to price fixing last year. Two other Bumble Bee executives also have pleaded guilty.



"The Antitrust Division is committed to prosecuting senior executives who unjustly profit at the expense of their customers," Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division said in the statement. "American consumers deserve free enterprise, not fixed prices, so the Department will not tolerate crimes like the one charged in todays indictment."



John Keker, Lischewski's attorney, told the AP his client is innocent and that he will be vindicated.



Bumble Bee, according to the DOJ, already has pleaded guilty and agreed to pay a fine of $25 million.

All rights reserved.iStock/Thinkstock(LOS ANGELES) -- As Californias June 5 so-called "jungle primary" gets closer, national Democrats are spending big new money on tv and digital ads targeting GOP candidates in key Southern California races, trying to narrow the crowded candidate field to get a better shot in the general election.



Southern California is traditionally a Republican bastion, but the retirements of Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., in the state's 49th Congressional District and Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., in the nearby 39th, along with Hillary Clinton's victory in those districts in 2016, have fueled hopes that Democrats could flip the seats come November.



Possibly upending those hopes  California has a top-two primary system in which the two candidates who get the most votes move on to the November vote regardless of party.



Democrats are scarred from being shut out of races in the past, and from the start have been trying to reduce chances too many Democratic candidates will splinter the vote, or too many Republicans will flood the ballots.



A large number of Republican candidates, along with heated debates on immigration, taxes and jobs, and a history of Republican congressmen, have national Democrats doubling their efforts to get through the June primary.



The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee  which made headlines for releasing opposition research on a Democratic candidate before the primaries in Texas' 7th Congressional District, triggering a runoff  along with groups Priority USA and House Majority PAC, have this week started television and digital campaigns targeting three key Southern California races.



We need to make sure that were maximizing our opportunities to win, which, in California, means ensuring at least one Democrat makes it onto the general election ballot, said Patrick McHugh, executive director of Priorities USA Action in a statement.



The television and digital campaigns target candidates in the 39th district (open after Royce's retirement), the 48th district (where Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R- Calif., is challenged by low support and strong opponents), and the 49th district (open after Issas retirement), with Priority USA and House Majority PAC shelling out $277,000 to inform Southern California voters about these Republican candidates records of troubling behavior and broken promises," according to a joint statement.



These three races are already among the most expensive in the state.



In the 48th district, the DCCC accuses Republican candidate Scott Baugh of campaign finance violations, committing credit card fraud, violating the California Political Reform Act and of working to rig an election in his favor. Most of the accusations relate to incidents in the 1990s.



"A record that reads more like a rap sheet," the ad starts. "Washingtons so corrupthed fit right in," it continues.



Priority USA and House Majority PAC are also focusing on Baugh's "history of run-ins with the law."



Baugh campaign spokesman Matt Cunningham disputes the charges, telling ABC News it includes false and misleading information, and that national Democrats have teamed up with Rohrabacher because they "are desperate to maintain benefits of the corrupt Washington culture."



Its a solid Republican seat. Its only in play because theres a weak incumbent, Cunningham told ABC News.



No civil or criminal charges in connection to credit card fraud or election rigging were ever brought against Baugh. Charges of campaign finance violations were eventually dismissed by the California Supreme Court and the Attorney General.



The DCCC has also had run-ins in the district, contradicting the state Democratic Party's endorsement process by endorsing Harley Rouda over state party-backed Hans Keirstead.



In Issa's 49th district, where four Democrats are running against eight Republicans and four independents, the three groups are pouncing on Republican candidate Rocky Chavez, who has been leading the polls on the Republican side.



In an ad titled Knock Out, the DCCC accuses the California assemblyman of breaking former campaign pledges regarding taxes.



"On spending your money and costing you even more, Rocky Chavez's broken promises will knock you out," says the television ad, which aired May 15.



The Chavez campaign did not respond to ABC News' request for comment.



North in Orange County, the vacant seat left by Royce has forced one of the most heated and crowded primary races in the Golden State, with Democratic infighting to reduce the number of Democratic candidates and criticism that self-funding millionaires are upending the race.



There, Priority USA and House Majority PAC are aiming their ads, which will be posted on Facebook, Google and YouTube, at Republicans Shawn Nelson and Bob Huff. Titled "Can't Afford Nelson" and "Huff Puff," the ads pounce on Nelson's vote on pension reform and his personal spending, as well as on Huff's votes during his time in the state legislature.



"Bob Huff: he huffs, and he puffs but will make your taxes go up," the ad says.



In a press release on the campaign's website, chief campaign strategist, John Thomas, called the ad "unsurprising."



"Democrats are clearly threatened by his presence and are trying to beat him down knowing that they wouldnt stand a chance against him in a run-off, he said.



The Huff campaign did not respond to ABC News' request for comment.

Copyright  2018, ABC Radio. All rights reserved.When North Korea first threw the fate of a historic summit meeting with the United States into question last week, it cited  five times  the fate of another country and another leader, half a world away, as an example of why no one should trust American efforts to disarm another nation.

The country was Libya, and the leader was Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, who made a bad bet that he could swap his nascent nuclear program for economic integration with the West. That deal, executed by the Bush administration nearly 15 years ago, is a footnote to American histories of that era.

But Libya has always loomed large for the North Koreans. Mentions of the Libya deal as a model for North Koreas own denuclearization  first by Mr. Trumps new national security adviser, John R. Bolton, and then by Vice President Mike Pence  were enough to draw two threats of withdrawal from the talks by North Korea. After the second threat, President Trump announced unexpectedly on Thursday that he had decided to withdraw from the planned June 12 meeting.

Whether Mr. Trump and the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, will ever meet  a move disarmament advocates saw as an opportunity to end decades of animosity between the nations  remains an open question.A snaking metal fence that divides the Gaza Strip from Israel has become the latest focal point in a generations-long conflict between Arabs and Jews in the area.

It was along this fence that at least 60 Palestinians were killed and many hundreds wounded on Monday as thousands converged to protest what they call an arbitrarily enforced demarcation line by an occupier. As protesters rushed toward the fence, some throwing rocks or homemade fire bombs, Israeli soldiers fired live bullets, which the Israeli military said was done as a last resort.

What are the fences origins and purpose in separating Gaza, a 25-mile-long, five-mile-wide Mediterranean coastal enclave where nearly two million Palestinians live? Is the fence recognized as an international border? And how has Israel justified deadly force to stop mostly unarmed Palestinians from breaching it? Here are the basics:

What is the fence?

The fence is actually two parallel barriers built by the Israelis: a formidable one of barbed-wire within Gaza and a 10-foot-high metal smart fence packed with surveillance sensors along the Israel demarcation line. A restricted buffer zone as wide as 300 yards is between them. Israel has warned that people in the zone without authorization risk being subjected to deadly force.The boy assumed that Laylas mother was already on the bus. In fact, she was in another part of the house, suffering from a toothache. Still, Layla was hardly the only infant at the protest. Entire families had come along, some snacking on ice cream or sandwiches, as the protests raged hundreds of yards away.

In the late afternoon, Layla, in a tent with her aunts, started to wail. Ammar grabbed his niece for a second time and, he said, pushed forward into the protest in search of her grandmother, Heyam Omar, who was standing in a crowd under a pall of black smoke, shouting at Israeli soldiers across the fence.

Soon after Ms. Omar took the child, she said, a tear-gas canister fell nearby. She frantically wiped the childs face with water and gave her juice to drink. But an hour later, after they reached the family home, Layla appeared to have stopped breathing.

When they arrived at a hospital at 6:34, doctors pronounced the child dead. Her limbs were cold and blue, reads a hospital report.

Laylas mother crumpled onto the hospital bed and wept over her daughter.

I felt like my heart had been attacked, she said.

The rules of grief in Gaza, where private pain is often paraded for political causes, kicked in. The next morning the secular Fatah movement erected a funeral tent outside the familys home, and hung a banner with a photo of the infant beside an image of Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority.

It was not the first public death in the family.

A large poster in the family living room shows Mariam Ghandours uncle, Ammar, brandishing a rifle and wearing a black headband. A member of Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a militant group affiliated with Fatah, he died battling Israeli soldiers in 2006.Bombino sings in Tamasheq, and many of his lyrics highlight the Tuaregs profound connection with the desert, their ancestral home. The music itself mirrors the desert: The guitar pyrotechnics of his live show pay tribute to the Saharas powerful storms, and the loping rhythm of many of his songs echoes the odd meter of a camels gait. An important thing to know is the desert is a very vast open space, Bombino said. Sound and music there carries a power with it, so you get the feeling when youre holding an instrument in your hand and playing it, youre completing a picture that was otherwise incomplete.

In the mid- 1990s Bombino found work in Libya as a shepherd, spending long periods of solitude with just the sheep and his guitar. Hanging out with friends, he honed his technique by watching DVDs of two of his most fervent inspirations. He was mesmerized by the interplay of Dire Straits: The kind of familial sort of exchanges they would have musically, it touched me in a profound way, he said. And he was moved by the emotional playing of Hendrix. Watching Jimi with his guitar is like watching a mother with her baby, he said. When the guitar is crying, hell calm it down. The sentimentality between him and his guitar is very powerful for me.

Back in Agadez in his later teenage years, he began building a reputation as the Hendrix of the Sahel while working as a tour guide. In 2006, he chaperoned Angelina Jolie on a six-day journey through northern Niger, accompanied by her camera crew. We went out to the desert, Bombino said, I would play, and she would dance.

The countrys tourism industry is long gone now, a casualty of the second Tuareg rebellion in 2007. During the first Tuareg uprising, rebels had used concerts for recruitment, gathering people and inciting dissent; when the second revolt started, Tuareg music was considered rebel propaganda. To be labeled one of les guitaristes was dangerous; two of Bombinos band mates disappeared and are assumed to have been executed by the Nigerien army.

Many of Bombinos friends and colleagues were joining the rebellion, but he made the difficult decision to flee Niger again, this time for Burkina Faso. I never saw the need to take up arms for the rebel cause, I always believed that there was a path out through music, so thats why I decided to take my guitar and go, Bombino explained.EVGENY KISSIN at Carnegie Hall (May 20, 2 p.m.). On the evidence of Mr. Kissins puzzling, recent Beethoven release on Deutsche Grammophon, and earlier acquaintances with his Beethoven in concert, I would not expect too much from the Hammerklavier Sonata on this program, but I would hope for far more from a series of 11 Rachmaninoff preludes, music in which he excels. Encores, as many as a dozen of them, ought to provide some variety from one of the Carnegie audiences favorite pianists.

NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC at David Geffen Hall (May 24, 7:30 p.m., through May 26). Semyon Bychkov continues to occupy the Philharmonics podium and offers more interesting fare this week than last. He is a good conductor of Strauss, and he has made something of a specialty from An Alpine Symphony, which takes up the bulk of this concert. But the real treat is Berios Sinfonia, performed here with the outstanding vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth.

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday released thousands of pages related to the 2016 meeting at Trump Tower involving Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer. As dicey as that news might seem for President Trump, Jimmy Fallon said he might not even have the wherewithal to worry.Rather than delve into the British Empires violent expansion into Africa and Asia during Victorias reign, Victoria focuses instead on Prince Alberts antislavery activities. Similarly, The Crown obscures Britains role in quashing African independence movements by ignoring the rising Mau Mau rebellion during Princess Elizabeths visit to Kenya in 1952. Or it renders the royals, not those African leaders or nations seeking full autonomy, as the sympathetic ones. In Season 2, the Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser is cast as a global threat, while the Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumahs potential alliance with the Soviets is something to be redirected by a waltz with the Queen.

In the Lifetime movie, a warm Queen Elizabeth (Maggie Sullivan) not only revels in Meghans love for Harry, but also reveals her deep fondness for a painting of Queen Charlotte, who married King George III in 1761 and who some historians claim was of African descent and was Britains first black royal. Ive always loved this portrait of our ancestor Queen Charlotte, because the painter Ramsay didnt try to hide her African heritage, she tells the couple, before adding: Oh yes, youre of mixed race, Harry. So am I. Many of her portraits tried to hide that fact, but this one is most authentic, much like you.

Such stories prepare us for seeing Meghan and Harrys nuptials as a completion of a circle in which multiracial identity is not only embraced, but in fact encoded in the DNA of the royal family of which Ms. Markle is now both an extension and its most recent member.

Whether her biography alone can make a difference is yet to be seen. The bigoted backlash to Mr. Obama was seemingly instantaneous and remains ongoing, while others have already noted that the negative media coverage surrounding Ms. Markle merely outs the quiet racism that black Britons experience daily. Yet, given her serious commitment to gender equality, Prince Harrys condemnation of the racist and sexist tabloid fodder about Ms. Markle and her mother, and the endorsement of their marriage by the Queen, the racial symbolism of this moment still does carry significant weight.

Which is why Ill be watching the wedding on Saturday with wonder, and a bit of worry.

Will Ms. Markle ultimately end up as a truly transformative figure or, like Queen Charlotte (if you believe the theories), a curious historical blip? Who knows? I just hope it doesnt take another 257 years until the monarchy, and more important, England and Ms. Markles home country, the United States, can celebrate the full racial integration of all its citizens.The stars of Broad City are guest judges on RuPauls Drag Race.

And Stephen Colbert stops by as well.Along with another Iranian woman she befriended early in her trip, Ms. Alinejad swallowed her nerves and stripped off her head scarf one morning near her hotel. Eight years later, she founded My Stealthy Freedom, a social media campaign against compulsory hijab laws, and gave voice to millions of Iranian women by encouraging them to share photos of themselves without their hijabs. It is just the first step toward full equality and it is just the most visible symbol of oppression against women, Ms. Alinejad said of her campaign and hijabs earlier this month.

Before Ms. Alinejad, now 41 and living in Brooklyn, founded international movements or wrote books or became one of the Iranian governments fiercest critics, she grew up in Ghomikola, a rural village in Iran. As a young girl she did not understand why she could not run around and play like her brothers or why she had to wear her chador, a full body cloak. Instead of accepting her fate as prescribed by Iranian law and her family, Ms. Alinejad chose to be different.

[ Read What The Timess Book Critics and Others Are Reading This Summer ]

The throughline between Ms. Alinejads early acts of rebellion  from refusing to wear a chador to starting a political reading group in high school  and her current work inspired this memoir. My life is just full of stories, and as a young girl I was always told that your story is not important, she said. This book is about overcoming obstacles as a woman in Iran and fighting for my identity.

The Wind in My Hair, which Ms. Alinejad wrote with her husband, Kambiz Foroohar, paints a vivid portrait of modern Iran and chronicles her journey from Iran to Britain and finally the United States. She details her career as a journalist covering Irans parliament, her first marriage, raising her son and her 2009 exile from Iran. The book comes at a time of renewed energy within the feminist movement, and Ms. Alinejad believes that the books themes transcend borders. If you are a true feminist then you have to condemn inequality everywhere, whether it is in the West or in the Islamic Republic of Iran, she said. If you want to have a better world for women, you have to stick together.

While he was studying for his M.F.A. at the University of Virginia in the mid-1990s, James A. McLaughlin finished what he refers to as Bearskin 1.0. It was a typical first novel, he said. The characters were boring. Nobody wanted it.

As a fan of Jim Harrison, he had been aiming for something that Harrison might write, something poetic, heartbreaking, steeped in the natural world. Instead, he found himself stuck between genres. One agent looked at it and said, You know, its not literary enough to be a literary novel, and its not thrilling enough to be a thriller.

The manuscript morphed into various other shapes over the last 20 years. In 2008, he published it as a prizewinning novella in The Missouri Review.[ Read Janet Maslin on 17 Refreshing Books to Read This Summer ]

I feel like this question is cornering us into taking a busmans holiday, and what I really want to know is what my colleagues are planning to watch over the summer. To that end, I want to see the Patrick Melrose mini-series  but only after reading the original novels by Edward St. Aubyn, which Ive resisted so far, mostly out of sheer stubbornness. Reading about louche rich people sounds about as appealing to me as reading about louche rich people, but readers I trust insist that Ive been missing out. Also, Im always curious about screen adaptations of recalcitrant books, and St. Aubyns material sounds challenging, to say the least. JENNIFER SZALAI

I have read Edward St. Aubyns extraordinary Patrick Melrose series  but I intend to revisit it this summer, when Im not reading improbably complicated mysteries and unlikely psychological thrillers. I know it might seem obvious to mention the Melrose novels now, since theyve just been made into a Showtime series, but theres no way the dramatization can be anything as good as the books. I devoured them in one great long gulp several years  they are enormously funny, as well as harrowing and upsetting  but I did not take enough time to admire the clarity and brilliance of St. Aubyns prose. Thats what Ill do this time around. SARAH LYALL

Ill start with Kobo Abes The Woman in the Dunes. Its plot may sound grim, about a man invited by villagers into a pit of sand from which he cant escape, but Mitchell has called the experience of reading it never less than compulsive.

Chinese economic officials are meeting with their American counterparts this week. And theyre preparing to offer a quick fix to the trade deficit: a promise to buy as much as $200 billion worth of American goods. Above, a port in Shandong Province.

That would allow President Trump to claim a major victory in his campaign to rebalance Americas trade relationship with its biggest economic rival. But economists say the offer is simply not practical. The U.S. economy is already near its full productive capacity and probably couldnt produce enough to meet that kind of demand.The attorney general of New Jersey said on Thursday that federal education officials had stopped cooperating on issues involving fraudulent activities at for-profit colleges, and requested that the Education Department renew its investigations into the institutions or hand them over to the state.

Gurbir S. Grewal, who became attorney general in January, expressed frustration with the officials in a letter to Betsy DeVos, the education secretary.

Mr. Grewal said they had ignored requests from New Jersey to work with the state on behalf of students who were defrauded by Corinthian Colleges, a bankrupt for-profit chain. And he raised concerns about the status of investigations by the Education Department into large for-profit institutions like the DeVry Education Group, which paid $100 million in 2016 to settle a lawsuit alleging that it misled prospective students with ads about employment and salaries after graduation.

In an article this week, The New York Times reported that a special investigations team at the Education Department created in the final year of the Obama administration had been unwound under the Trump administration, effectively killing inquiries into DeVry and other schools where top hires of Ms. DeVos previously worked.In a prelude to an easing of trade tensions between Washington and Beijing, Chinese officials ended a monthslong delay by approving Toshibas sale of a majority stake in its lucrative microchip unit to an American-led group.

A lack of approval by Chinese regulators had held up the deal in what was widely seen as a signal from Beijing about how it might punish American businesses if the Trump administration acted on threats to impose tariffs on $150 billion in Chinese-made goods.

In a statement on Thursday, Toshiba said it had received all required antitrust approvals for the deal with a consortium led by the United States investment firm Bain Capital. Bain confirmed in its own statement that Chinese authorities had approved the deal.

Chinese officials could not be reached for comment late Thursday, and the countrys official media and websites were silent on the matter. The reasons for the approval after the lengthy delay were not immediately clear.HOUSTON  President Trump faces a difficult juggling act as he tries to persuade China, India and other countries to join in oil sanctions against Iran while also pressuring Venezuela.

Since the two oil-producing giants compete for the same markets, squeezing one may end up helping the other. Squeezing both may send oil prices soaring.

A Venezuelan election is scheduled on Sunday that President Nicolas Maduro is almost certain to win because the main opposition is boycotting the vote, calling it a sham. To protest election abuses and human rights violations, Trump administration officials have warned that Venezuela could face tighter financial sanctions, including measures making it harder to export oil.

The administration is also working to reduce Irans oil exports now that it has removed the United States from the nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama administration. Unless Iran and the other countries that signed the 2015 nuclear pact can reach a compromise, Washington plans in the coming months to press a number of punishing measures, like sanctions on banks in countries that do not reduce Iranian oil imports.They were once allies, if not friends.

The entertainment mogul Shari E. Redstone and the CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves, whose careers have been entwined for nearly 20 years, appeared to be getting along famously as recently as February, when they sat in the CBS box at Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, both rooting for the New England Patriots.

Now, the two media heavyweights are in the early rounds of a bout over the fate of two of the worlds most prominent media and entertainment companies, CBS and Viacom. They find themselves at an impasse because of Ms. Redstones desire to merge the two companies, which are corporate siblings. Mr. Moonves, for his part, is firmly against the proposed merger.

At stake is Mr. Moonvess storied career at CBS, which he took from last place to the most-watched television network, with hits like The Big Bang Theory, Survivor and Young Sheldon.

On Thursday, there were two developments in the dispute. First, a judge ruled against an effort by CBS to block Ms. Redstone from having what is perceived as outsize influence over its board, which had scheduled a meeting to vote on reducing the influence of the Redstone family on CBS. Then, at a meeting later that day, the board voted 11 to 3 to dilute Ms. Redstones voting stake to roughly 20 percent from nearly 80 percent.A television show featuring Michael Avenatti, the lawyer who is suing President Trump on behalf of a pornographic film actress, and the former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci was pitched to two cable networks in recent weeks, people briefed on the matter said on Thursday.

The prominent television agent Jay Sures discussed with executives at CNN and MSNBC the concept of a program where the two men would square off, according to three people briefed on the issue. Both have become frequent cable network guests  Mr. Avenatti as one of Mr. Trumps greatest antagonists, and Mr. Scaramucci as a loyalist to the president even after flaming out after less than two weeks at the White House.

Representatives for MSNBC and CNN declined to comment, as did Mr. Sures and Mr. Scaramucci.

I have no interest in television right now, Mr. Avenatti said. I enjoy my law practice and look forward to prevailing on behalf of my client Stormy Daniels, he added, using the stage name of the actress, Stephanie Clifford. He did not respond to a question about why Mr. Sures made such a pitch involving him.

Mr. Avenatti has appeared on both CNN and MSNBC repeatedly in recent weeks, often several times a day on both networks. The appearances are one part of an aggressive public relations campaign he has waged on behalf of Ms. Clifford, earning him criticism that he is leveraging his position to both undermine Mr. Trump and promote himself.Walmart, hoping to quell investors fears that its strategy for competing with Amazon had veered off course, said on Thursday that its e-commerce push was back on track in the years first quarter.

Online sales rose 33 percent in the first three months of 2018, helping to drive the retailers overall revenue above analysts expectations.

The increase in e-commerce sales, while slower than in previous quarters, improved on the 23 percent growth rate that Walmart reported at the end of 2017. The company recently redesigned its flagship website, though Walmart said it was too early to quantify how much the redesign was helping to generate new sales.

We are really encouraged by our progress and execution this quarter, Marc Lore, the head of Walmarts e-commerce business in the United States, said in a conference call.Here is a dish that brokered a marriage, that won a pledge of undying love: hu tieu Nam Vang, a Southern Vietnamese noodle soup with Chinese and Khmer roots, built on pork femurs heavy with marrow, dried squid like brittle fans and dried shrimp shrunk into briny knots.

It was the first dish that Ly Nguyen, the chef of Em in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, made for Patrick Lin, now her husband. At the bright, trim restaurant, which opened in March, she simmers and skims the pork-and-seafood stock for eight hours, tossing in the smallest nub of rock sugar, because the power of sweetness lies in knowing how much to wield. Pork spareribs grow tender in the depths. Some ingredients stay secret, as they must.

The bowl arrives crowded and green from sun-steeped cilantro and long clips of scallions and Chinese chives, the blades juicy, with a garlic sting. A slab of rib bobs on top, alongside quail eggs that house quaking yolks. Chewy rice noodles mass below, ensnaring fish balls and fat shrimp. It is hard to resist.Every time Mr. Lagerfeld makes an incendiary statement, theres a flurry of upset online, but it is contained, focused on him and not the brands that employ and enable him. There is no call for a boycott of Chanel, Fendi or even his namesake label. The companies themselves dont even bother to issue the now seemingly de rigueur We dont agree, but he is his own person and has a right to his views. They just tuck their heads in and have no comment, or dont respond. How come?

There is no doubt that Mr. Lagerfeld occupies a singular space in the style universe. He is someone who has shaped the fashion industry as we know it (and our wardrobes as we know them), alongside names like Giorgio Armani and Rei Kawakubo, and is probably about as close to a living legend as exists in fashion.

A certain tolerance of idiosyncrasy goes along with that  a certain Oh, its just old Uncle Fester doing his thing  as well as fear when it comes to criticizing the power player in the room. Especially when that power player works for a brand, like Chanel, that is enshrined on a power pedestal.

Indeed, a friend who privately expressed outrage over Mr. Lagerfeld also said: Dont quote me, please. I dont want to lose my fifth row seat at Chanel. When Sara Ziff, the founder of the Model Alliance, spoke out against Mr. Lagerfelds comments on models, she said she received a lot of support via direct messaging from contacts  who then said they could not make their feelings public.

Still, no brand in untouchable. Last May Chanel came under fire in Australia for cultural appropriation after it created a $1,325 Chanel boomerang, and was forced to make a quasi apology, announcing it was not our intention to disrespect the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

And just because the fashion world quivers in its stilettos at the idea of calling time , that doesnt mean the consuming public should. Which suggests that there is something else going on, and it may have as much to do with the current cultural and political reality as the boycotts do.The National Institutes of Health has suspended enrollment in a huge clinical trial on the health benefits of moderate drinking while officials review whether its employees inappropriately solicited funding from the alcohol industry.

Five liquor and beer companies are providing about $67 million of the $100 million cost of the 10-year study. In March, The New York Times reported that scientists and officials with the N.I.H.s National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism met with alcohol industry groups on several occasions in 2013 and 2014 to discuss funding.

During the meetings, scientists suggested the research might reflect favorably on moderate drinking, while institute officials pressed the groups for support, according to documents obtained by The Times.

The lead investigator on the trial, Dr. Kenneth J. Mukamal, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, described his role in the meetings as educational. Critics said the presentations compromised the objectivity of the trial and may have violated federal funding rules.This spring F.D.A. investigators traced the virulent strain of E. coli found in romaine to the growing region of Yuma, Ariz. But the last romaine lettuce was harvested there on April 16 and the shelf life for lettuce is about three weeks. According to the C.D.C., the onset of the last reported illness was on May 2.

Federal investigators are still looking for the precise source of the virulent strain. Dr. Stephen Ostroff, the F.D.A.s deputy commissioner for foods and veterinary medicine, said researchers were looking for patterns  in water supply, harvesting equipment, even shared work crews. There are a lot of ways this could have happened, he said. The easy answers dont explain this. We have to look at something potentially different.

In 2006, after the danger from a toxic strain of E. coli tied to spinach that sickened 205 people across 26 states had passed, researchers hunted for another seven months. They finally concluded that the bacteria was traced to river water, cattle feces and wild-pig feces on a California cattle ranch scarcely a mile from a spinach field.

During the latest outbreak, researchers for the F.D.A. and the C.D.C. warned consumers, including institutional purchasers like schools and restaurants, not to buy romaine unless they were certain that it did not come from Yuma  a near impossibility, because individual bags of lettuce are almost never readily sourced and tracked.

The agencies epidemiological experts, relying on state health workers as well, extensively interviewed patients and tried to follow the fading trail of the supply chain. But critics noted that food safety monitoring laws, authorized by Congress in 2010, have still to be fully put in place, hampering the efforts of researchers to swiftly find and recall fresh produce.On May 9, a federal appeals court heard oral arguments in a case about an explosive issue among U.S. veterans: the widespread use of burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the potential health consequences they suffered as a result.

The case, which dates back to 2008, consolidated dozens of lawsuits by hundreds of veterans and their families seeking to recover damages from the military contractor KBR Inc., but a trial court dismissed it in July 2017. It could be at a legal dead end unless the panel of judges, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., overturns the dismissal.

The plaintiffs accuse KBR of negligence for exposing them to toxic emissions from open-air trash fires known as burn pits, which they say cause respiratory, neurological and other health problems. In tossing the case last year, the trial court accepted KBRs argument that the American military made the decision to use burn pits to dispose of trash on bases, and that federal courts cannot second-guess the executive branchs wartime decisions.

One plaintiff, Lauren Price, a Navy veteran from Pasco County, Fla., who developed constrictive bronchiolitis after working at a burn pit in Baghdad, said in an interview that she has already given up hope. Ive stopped paying attention, she said. After 10 years of litigation, the case is still at the procedural starting gates, and unless the plaintiffs eke out a win on appeal, it will be one of the biggest setbacks yet for tens of thousands of affected veterans who have received zero recompense despite years of advocacy by lawyers and nonprofits.NEW YORK AFRICAN FILM FESTIVAL at the Film Society of Lincoln Center (through May 22), BAM Rose Cinemas (May 23-28) and Maysles Cinema (June 7-10). This annual festival celebrates its 25th anniversary with programming designed to bridge generations of filmmakers. The centerpiece is Wallay (showing on Friday and Monday at the Film Society), about a 13-year-old boy in France who is sent to live with his uncle in Burkina Faso. The lineup also includes Abderrahmane Sissako: Beyond Territories (screening on Friday), a documentary about the Mauritanian-born director of the Oscar-nominated Timbuktu, and a retrospective screening of Black Sun (on Sunday). A Soviet production from the early 1970s, it follows an African politician modeled on Patrice Lumumba, who was the first democratically elected leader of what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo, and was assassinated in 1961.

WILLIAM FOX PRESENTS: RESTORATIONS AND REDISCOVERIES FROM THE FOX FILM CORPORATION at Museum of Modern Art (May 18-June 5). Under the stewardship of William Fox (and even after he was forced from control of the company in 1930), the Fox Film Corporation was home to some of the most innovative filmmaking of the late silent and early sound eras. Just how innovative can be seen in the 1929 feature Sunnyside Up (on Friday and June 2), which was made with Foxs Movietone sound system and opens with an amazing crane shot that introduces two sides of a New York tenement block. The delightful musical stars Janet Gaynor as a poor city girl who has a chance for love and happiness with a Southampton heir (Charles Farrell). See Ms. Gaynor, the star of several films in this festival, again in One More Spring (on June 1 and 4) as an aspiring actress who finds a surrogate family while squatting with an antiques dealer (Warner Baxter) and a violinist (Walter Woolf King) in a Central Park toolshed. A Depression-era portrait of how communities can lead the way out of poverty, this 1935 film is markedly blunt in its politics.

212-708-9400, moma.orgSome of the filmmakers techniques  the slow rumble and unnerving hush of the sound design; the deep shadows of the digital cinematography (by Alexander Dynan); the smooth, ghostly movements of the camera  make First Reformed feel like a horror movie, which in some ways it is. The source of the terror, though, is not a supernatural presence but a metaphysical absence. A poem by Robert Lowell records an 18th-century preachers feeling that the breath of God had carried out a planned and sensible withdrawal from this land, leaving His creatures to their own infernal devices. Toller stares into the same abyss.

We see it reflected in Mr. Hawkes face. His brow is bisected by a deep furrow, and his former prettiness has weathered into something much more interesting. The risk in playing this kind of suffering lies in the temptation to externalize the misery, but Mr. Hawke strips away everything that might turn this into a performance. Until the very end, Toller maintains a proper pastoral demeanor, conveying the compassion and self-containment that are aspects of both his temperament and his professionalism. His doubt and anger are confined to his journals. His Gethsemane is inside him.

But his struggle is also a response to external events. The pollution and corruption he perceives arent just in his head. He is less and less comfortable with the smiling, full-service spiritualism of Abundant Life, and more and more alienated from the beliefs and institutions that had once sustained him. He finds some comfort in Marys company, even as he also starts to suspect that Michael might have been right.

First Reformed wrestles with contemporary reality, but it isnt a work of realism in the way that term is conventionally understood. The dialogue is delivered with formal, almost stiff cadences, and the images are crisp, graceful and plain. This austerity isnt meant to capture the rhythms of ordinary existence, but rather to present a heightened, filtered, clarified picture of what that existence might mean. It asks us to take another look at what we think we know about politics, religion and other things we like to argue about, and asks nothing more than our quiet attention.

There is something radical about that, and about Mr. Schraders stubborn faith in movies. Like Tollers diary, his film is an assertion of order in the face of chaos, an effort to organize something that is by its very nature an unholy mess: one persons life.You walk out of The Most Unknown knowing a little more than you did, and with the sense theres so much more you dont. Its a mystifying feeling, and a good reason to see this documentary that extols the wonders of science and of all thats yet to discover.

The film begins deep underground as Jennifer Macalady, an American geomicrobiologist, explores simple life-forms found in the Frasassi Caves in Italy. As part of the documentarys plan she travels to visit a scientist she has never met, who studies a discipline she is unfamiliar with  Davide DAngelo, an Italian physicist researching dark matter  to discuss some of his work and how their fields may overlap.We are sending this grievance to say that you cannot engage in xenophobia, bigotry, hate and get away with it. Such behavior should never be tolerated, Mr. Espaillat said on Thursday.

In the letter addressed to the chief attorney of the grievance committee, Jorge Dopico, Mr. Espaillat and Mr. Diaz called the video vile, and said The audacity to profile and verbally assault innocent bystanders and customers in a public commercial location is a violation of our civil society. We watched Aarons video and we were disgusted.

On Tuesday, Mr. Schlossbergs verbal assault was captured in a video that was widely shared and condemned on social media. He was angry that staff members preparing food were speaking Spanish to customers, when, he said disdainfully, they should be speaking English. He threatened to call the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to deport them, assuming that they were undocumented immigrants merely because of the language they spoke.

Its America, he said, scoffing. I will be following up, and my guess is theyre not documented. So my next call is to ICE to have each one of them kicked out of my country.

Mr. Schlossberg did not return messages from The New York Times on Wednesday or Thursday.

According to the Court System, Mr. Schlossberg was admitted to the bar in 2003 and had no record of public discipline. He is the founder of his own firm.The middle school in northern Manhattan is named after Booker T. Washington, a champion of education for African-Americans. But in a district where half the students are Hispanic and black, less than a quarter of the 852 students in this selective, high-performing school are from those groups.

Now Booker T. Washington on West 107th Street, also known as Middle School 54, is at the center of a debate over segregation in New York Citys public schools.

In the absence of a coordinated policy by the education department, District 3  a diverse and highly segregated school district that covers the Upper West Side and Harlem  came up with its own desegregation plan for its middle schools, including M.S. 54, which would require them to set aside seats for children with low test scores.

The plan is one of an increasing number of desegregation efforts around the city led by local education officials and parents. And while this plan has met with resistance, some of it captured on a viral video of a meeting of angry parents at another District 3 school, chroniclers of the citys fitful desegregation efforts see a growing recognition across demographic lines that segregation is a problem that needs to, and can be, addressed.The Qatar Investment Authority bought a $1.8 billion stake in Brookfield Property Partners in 2014, and is the second-largest investor in the company, ranking only behind Brookfield Asset Management. And the Qatar fund and Brookfield have teamed up on several real estate deals in the United States and elsewhere in recent years, including Brookfields retail and apartment complex, Manhattan West, now under construction on Manhattans West Side. Brookfield and Qatar also control the Canary Wharf office complex in London.

The Qatar Investment Authority is one of the worlds largest sovereign funds, with $320 billion in assets under management, according to the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute. In 2015 the fund announced plans to invest $35 billion in the United States, and it has since become a sizable commercial real estate investor, taking part in roughly $7 billion in real estate deals and buying up properties around New York and Los Angeles, according to CoStar Group, a real estate research firm.

Charles and Jared Kushner bought the tower at 666 Fifth Avenue in 2007, when, with a partner, they borrowed $1.75 billion for the purchase. The tower served as the price of admission to elite Manhattan real estate circles for a developer previously known for building and operating suburban garden apartment complexes in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

But if the father and son team believed that they had purchased a real estate trophy in one of the most desirable locations in the city, the debt-laden tower turned out to be more of an albatross.

At the time they bought it, the building only generated enough cash to pay two-thirds of their annual debt payments. But they were betting on a quick turnaround and a big jump in rents.

The Kushners sold 666 Fifth Avenues prime asset  its Fifth Avenue retail space  for $525 million. But office rents fell during the recession, and two of the buildings biggest tenants left. In 2012 the Kushners were forced to restructure their loans, and Vornado Realty Trust bought 49.5 percent of the buildings office space and gave the Kushners an $80 million high-interest loan. Vornado later bought the Fifth Avenue retail space for $707 million.

In late 2016, Charles Kushner and his son were close to a much different kind of deal with Anbang, a giant Chinese insurance company with ties to the countrys ruling elite, and Mr. Al-Thani. That plan involved demolishing the existing building at 666 Fifth Avenue and erecting a $7.5 billion luxury super tower. But the deal collapsed a year ago, amid criticism from legislators over the connection between Jared Kushners political role and the family business.We had every injury type that you can imagine for a scenario like this, Jeffrey S. Paul, the director of the Morris County Office of Emergency Management, said outside Morristown Medical Center. Its tragic for anybody to be in a situation like this. But children  our hearts certainly go out to the families.

The force of the collision ripped the front cabin from its chassis, and the mangled yellow bus lay twisted in the grassy median between the eastbound and westbound lanes on Interstate 80. Debris from inside the bus  a pair of Nike shoes, reusable water bottles, a black jacket and snack bags  was strewn about the grass.

The children were wearing seatbelts, the police and passengers said.

One student, Theo Ancevski, 11, described the pandemonium that followed the crash, with his classmates screaming and hanging from their seatbelts as others scrambled out windows and a rooftop emergency exit.

I heard a scraping sound and we toppled over the highway, said Theo, who sustained only minor cuts. A few people got out of the windows and they got out of the emergency exit at the top of the roof.

Officials did not release the name of the child who was killed in the crash. Jennifer M. Williamson, the teacher who died, grew up in Paramus, her cousin said, on a tree-lined block not far from the school where she taught fifth-grade social studies. She declined to give her name.On the 64th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, Mr. Estevez, as president of the Latino Action Network, together with about a dozen other plaintiffs, filed a lawsuit against the State of New Jersey on Thursday, calling on it to desegregate its schools statewide.

Not since 1964, when a federal lawsuit forced integration in Alabama, lawyers for the plaintiffs said, has a suit achieved statewide school desegregation.

The promise of Brown is not being realized in New Jersey, Mr. Estevez said. If you look at a lot of the issues we are having right now in our society, it has a lot to do with the fact that people dont know each other, and dont interact with each other, and this creates misunderstanding and animosity. And so its important as a society, we think, that people be together, and that they learn side by side.

The school segregation in New Jersey is de facto segregation, not explicit segregation by law, as was the case in the American South before the Brown decision. It stems from a complicated mixture of discriminatory zoning practices in suburbs, poverty and personal choice, the plaintiffs claim. But it is institutionalized by a state law in New Jersey that requires children to attend schools in the municipalities where they live, said Elise Boddie, a law professor at Rutgers University and a founding member of the New Jersey Coalition for Diverse and Inclusive Schools, a nonprofit that organized the lawsuit.

Because neighborhoods and towns in New Jersey are so segregated, that law results in segregated schools. So the suit asks the state to let children cross municipal lines to go to school. It also calls on the state education commissioner to develop a comprehensive, detailed plan suggesting ways to integrate schools.Donald Trumps approval rating is rising. The Democratic advantage on survey questions about party preference for control of Congress is vanishing. Liberal anxiety about the fate of the midterms  and I would venture, the country itself  is rising.

To all this, I say: Calm down.

Not relax. Not rest easy. Not coast. But stay the course and dont panic. Work hard, message well and bring your passion  and a few neighbors and friends  to the polls in November.

If voters do that, as they have already done in special elections, signs are positive for a major realignment in Washington.

As a CNN analysis last month said: These results suggest that the Republican Party is in trouble heading into the midterm elections. If past trends hold, it is possible Democrats could see a double- digit swing in the average House district in 2018 compared with past elections.While Mr. Sadr has a checkered past, including violence by his Mahdi Army, his new alliance and political positions seem to be the best option for Iraq. An alliance between Mr. Sadr and Mr. Abadi could move Iraq toward a more stable, inclusive and less corrupt state of affairs. Both have steered clear of the corruption that plagues many of those in power in Iraq. Mr. Abadi has experience in government, is known globally and has proven to be a capable politician. Mr. Sadr has wide popular appeal and can provide legitimacy to efforts against corruption.

Both have support from a Shiite Islamist base. Both have pledged to have technocrats in ministerial posts, a necessary move to get Iraqs ministries to function and deliver services and not serve as mere sources of patronage for various political parties. They would also need to ensure that their alliance is inclusive, both in terms of gender and ethnicity, to expand their appeal.

Mr. Sadr and Mr. Abadi are Iraqi Islamist leaders who are vehemently Iraqi first. They are not focused on their Shiite identities and have remained largely free of Tehrans control. The United States and the Arab states should seize the opportunity and support them. Mr. Abadi could help build a new relationship between Washington and Mr. Sadr, who fought American forces after the invasion and had an arrest warrant against him in 2003.

Saudi Arabias minister of state for Gulf affairs, Thamer al-Sabhan, was quick to welcome Mr. Sadrs ascendance. Last year, Mr. Sadr visited both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and met with the Saudi crown prince, Mohammad bin Salman, and the Abu Dhabi crown prince, Mohammed bin Zayed. Mr. Abadi made a point of reaching out to Arab states during his tenure. A government led by Mr. Sadr and Mr. Abadi can build on the initial engagement with Arab states.

Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. have committed billions in reconstruction aid to Iraq. A new government in Iraq can work toward attracting investments from Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. to boost private sector growth, which is crucial to economic diversification in Iraq.

Mr. Abadi could potentially help maintain a delicate balance between the regional rivals, as he has supported building ties with Arab countries while maintaining relations with Tehran.

Iran immediately sent Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force, to Baghdad after the results, to ensure that its influence does not ebb with the formation of the next government. Mr. Ameri is maneuvering with his colleagues and allies such as former Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki to form a government of Shiite Islamist parties, a move that would push Iraq back into the sectarian rut.In recent years, the United States has been something of a beacon of hope for women fleeing violence and persecution in their home countries. In 2014, in a giant step forward, immigration courts explicitly determined that a person fleeing severe domestic violence may be granted asylum here if the violence rises to the level of persecution, if the government in the victims home country cannot or will not punish her abuser and if various other criteria are met. Its a high bar but one that, sadly, women from many countries can clear. Now their last chance at protection may be under threat.

The case that established that certain victims of domestic violence are eligible for asylum was decided in a landmark ruling by the Board of Immigration Appeals, the highest court in our immigration judicial system.

The survivor in the case, a Guatemalan named Aminta Cifuentes, was a victim of severe physical and sexual abuse. Ms. Cifuentes had endured 10 years of unrelenting violence at the hands of her spouse, who burned her with acid, beat and kicked her, broke her nose and punched her in the stomach with such force when she was eight months pregnant that the baby was born prematurely and with bruises. Her husband told her it would be pointless to call the police, because even the police and judges beat their wives.

The ruling that granted her protection was a transformative one, not just for Ms. Cifuentes but for our country, too. At last, the United States stood firmly in opposition to violence against women and recognized that we can and should offer hope to survivors.The answer: a coded linguistic invitation.

Up until that candy wrapper advice  and my social faux pas  I hadnt given much thought to the purpose of compliments, but others certainly had. In recent years, compliments and our reactions to them have been placed under a microscope.

A 2012 study by Japanese researchers suggested that compliments help people to learn and perform new skills. The same researchers equated receiving compliments with receiving cash; both light up the reward system of our brain, the striatum. A 2017 study conducted in Switzerland equated receiving compliments with sex; both excited our brains reward system and the ventral medial prefrontal cortex, which heads up social decision making.

Pop psychologists and bloggers on the topic have been eager to offer advice  often, specifically to women. A 2004 Psychology Today article was adamant that the only proper way to accept a compliment was graciously and with a smile and warned the heedless female reader about the social perils of discounting a compliment in any manner typical of women. Such answers suck the positivity out of the air and deflate the donor, it read. In 2015, a Bustle writer offered 7 Tips for Accepting Compliments, based on the view that the idea of the human female as meek, humble, shy, and retiring is all very well if youre a 13th century nun, but its hamstringing us radically in the 21st century  and running away from compliments is a symptom.

But even longer ago, in the 70s and 80s, the compliment was poked and prodded by sociolinguistic experts. This robust body of research is still being used today at the University of Minnesota to teach adult English as a Second Language students the American way of accepting compliments.



According to experts at the universitys Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition, two thirds of the time, Americans respond to compliments with something other than, or in addition to, Thank you. We shift credit (My mom picked this dress out for me.), make a historical comment (I bought it on sale.), question the complimenter (Hmm, you think so?) or lob back a compliment (I like your outfit, too.). Other times we downgrade the compliment (This thing is so old I was about to give it to Goodwill.), reject it outright (I feel like I look like a hobo.) or treat the compliment as a request (You want to borrow it?).

In other words, in the United States, the compliment is a coded invitation to chitchat, and simply saying, Thank you linguistically slams the door in the complimenters face.

Its a platitude that language opens doors, said Andrew Cohen, a professor emeritus of second language studies at University of Minnesota and who was instrumental in developing the language acquisition research center.

Dont I know it. In trying out the supposed right way for a woman to accept a compliment, I learned what such pleasant commentary really signals for Americans of all genders: connection and conversation. I have since shamelessly returned to my previous ways, which is to add a little P.S. or a bit of resistance after saying Thank you. To do otherwise would be to miss the big point of small talk.M.W.: At some level, all colleges profess to inculcate the qualities of leadership into their students. So in some sense, there is nothing unusual about leadership as the ultimate purpose of the liberal arts education we practice and deliver. We decided to really dive in and explore it with the faculty. And what we decided in the end was that the qualities of leadership we want in our students align nicely with the qualities we want to get out of our students through liberal arts education  the habits of the mind and other habits that we want to see in leaders.

So we looked at these things and asked ourselves, Is there a way, in a very parsimonious and powerful way, to deliver on all of these things through an integrated core curriculum?

On top of that, we added a couple of different components that we feel are important for women going forward in the 21st century. One is the emphasis on what we loosely call financial literacy. We believe that young women ought to understand the basics of accounting and marketing. The other aspect that we emphasized in our core is a scientific vocabulary with which young women can understand great issues that face our society today, whether it be climate change or the social consequences of artificial intelligence. We believe that this habit of understanding science as citizens is very important.

M.J.: Could you tell us about your work in international higher education at the Open Society Foundations, specifically with the Asian University for Women in Bangladesh?

Image Meredith Woo, president of Sweet Briar College. Credit... Parker Michels-Boyce for The New York Times

M.W.: In my time directing the international higher education program, we focused on providing higher education for refugees. Higher education for refugees may sound like a luxury, but thats really not true. In the year 2000, about 20 percent in the relevant age group around the world were enrolled in college. By 2014, that jumps up to about 35 percent, almost the same as in the United States.

Now it doesnt mean that you are sitting in a beautiful classroom such as one youd find at Sweet Briar. It might mean that people are getting their exams delivered on donkeys backs or learning through TV. But the fact of the matter is that people are enrolled in higher education. If you look at a country like Syria, which was a secular nation before the civil war with a very highly literate population, education becomes critically important for the refugees who have lost everything. The only thing theyve got is what they have in their brains. Education can situate them for the better in countries, which are not their home. So we worked with Syrian refugees to help them get education in bordering countries such as Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.Did the president of the United States just betray the nations security in return for a bribe from the Chinese government?

Dont say that this suggestion is ridiculous: Given everything we know about Donald Trump, its well within the bounds of possibility, even plausibility.

Dont say theres no proof: Were not talking about a court of law, where the accused are presumed innocent until proved guilty. Where the behavior of high officials is concerned, the standard is very nearly the opposite: Theyre supposed to avoid situations in which there is even a hint that their actions might be motivated by personal gain.

Oh, and dont say that it doesnt matter one way or the other, because the Republicans who control Congress wont do anything about it. That in itself is a key part of the story: An entire political party  a party that has historically wrapped itself in the flag and questioned the patriotism of its opponents  has become entirely complaisant in the possibility of raw corruption, even if it involves payoffs from hostile foreign powers.In a tantrum last week, President Trump raged against Kirstjen Nielsen, the homeland security secretary, in part because she had not done enough to break up families who crossed the southern border illegally. Mr. Trump thinks such callousness will deter families from illegally crossing over from Mexico, often to seek asylum from gangs and political violence.

Ms. Nielsen apparently took offense at Mr. Trumps abuse, but her department is still in line with his security-focused agenda, making plans to use military bases to hold children separated from their parents by the Border Patrol, according to The Washington Post.

That is likely to become necessary since Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that his prosecutors will file criminal charges against anyone crossing the border without authorization, rather than releasing them to await deportation. That legal escalation will tear apart more families with children, which now constitute 40 percent of people detained by American border agents, Ms. Nielsen told the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday.

That families constitute so great a proportion of illegal border crossers undercuts Mr. Trumps contention that he is cracking down on immigration to keep out rapists and criminals. These arent people, these are animals, he snarled on Wednesday, in a stunningly dehumanizing reference to deported gang members. But his administrations policies are not calculated to deal with the specific threat of violence, but rather to immiserate people whose only crime is wanting safety or opportunity. Migration north to the United States is largely what it has always been, an act of desperation by those fleeing violence, and of hope by those seeking new opportunity.These actions are another chapter in President Trumps continuing assault on the nations most precious natural and cultural lands. They are of a piece with the shrinking of Bears Ears National Monument in Utah by 85 percent to carve out areas believed to contain oil and gas reserves and large uranium deposits. By giving the extractive industries virtually everything they want in Utah, Alaska, Minnesota and elsewhere, this administration has sent an unambiguous message: There is no place on our public lands  or waters  that is inviolable if there are resources to be exploited.

This is not the first threat to the Boundary Waters. In the early 1960s, there were battles over logging, timber roads and the use of motorboats and snowmobiles. Though the area was included in the 1964 Wilderness Act, some logging and motor use were allowed to continue. Finally in 1978 Congress passed the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness Act, which expanded its size, restricted motorboat use, ended logging and banned mining in the wilderness and some adjacent lands.

Many thought the area had been protected permanently, but 40 years later the fight continues. Twin Metals says large deposits of sulfide-based ores like copper and nickel have been found near the wilderness and wants to extract them. The danger is that mining these sulfide ores can result in contaminated water seeping and flowing into lakes, rivers, streams and wetlands and groundwater. Because of the interconnected waterways in the wilderness area, much of the areas watershed could become polluted. Once that happens, there is no fixing it.

Twin Metals argues that the risk for pollution from the sites will be minimal. But the idea that pollution can be prevented by mitigation measures has proved wrong time and again at other mines. Studies undertaken for opponents of mining have concluded that the highly toxic waste from a single mine in the wilderness areas watershed could continuously pollute the Boundary Waters for hundreds of years. The child was one of more than 60 Gazans killed during this weeks demonstrations, which were held to draw attention to the 11-year Israeli blockade of the territory. The violence gave way to mourning on Tuesday, the 70th anniversary of what Palestinians refer to as the Nakba, or Catastrophe, when hundreds of thousands fled their homes upon the creation of the state of Israel.

In the aftermath of crying, I experience clarity of thought and a burst of productivity.

When I was much younger and needed a cry, I turned to books. Beaches, by Iris Rainer Dart, was a reliable go-to, as was Where the Red Fern Grows. There are plenty of people who rely on books for this kind of emotional release, and Goodreads is filled with recommendations in its Listopia section. Causes of Ugly Crying supplies more than 1,200 book suggestions, like The Fault in Our Stars, Wonder and Little Women, which I really should reread because chopping onions in an airless room cannot compete with the tear-duct trigger of (spoiler alert) Beths death.

But now when I need to cry, I grab my phone.

The Hallmark Commercials of Today

For the quickest, surest, most fulsome cry, I open my Twitter app and search for military homecoming videos. These are homemade smartphone clips, sometimes elaborately staged, that capture a raw moment of surprise experienced by an American who does not know that a family member who is in the military and stationed away from home is returning for a visit. If so-called promposals are merely touching, military homecomings pack a wallop.

Theyre the old Hallmark commercials of today, said Mary Connelly, an executive producer of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, in its 15th year an old hand at the crying game. There is nothing better than those, theyre money in the bank.The book has its problems, of course. Wharton earnestly contemplates the Eastern apathy and the riddle of the mysterious North African civilization. She praises General Lyautey (the book is dedicated to him) for saving Morocco from the encroaching Germans, as well as the Berbers and Sahraoui tribesmen, but all is couched in the assumption that Morocco needs to be rescued by more civilized (i.e., European) powers. While she observes over and over how Moroccos beauty is in vast decay, she never once considers the damage colonialism may have inflicted across northern Africa and beyond. She writes: Overripeness is indeed the characteristic of this rich and stagnant civilization. Buildings, people, customs, seem all about to crumble and fall of their own weight: the present is a perpetually prolonged past.

The most compelling moments in Whartons writing come when she and Lyauteys entourage are invited indoors, into the company of other women. She records her interactions in a chapter entitled Harems and Ceremonies with a true sense of empathy. At the home of a high government official, a Moroccan dignitary of the old school, Wharton has tea overlooking a stunning view of Rabat. She engages in conversation with the hosts brother-in-law and the many women of the household:

Had I any children? (They asked it all at once.) Alas, no. In Islam (one of the ladies ventured) a woman without children is considered the most unhappy being in the world. I replied that in the western world also childless women were pitied. (The brother-in-law smiled incredulously.) Knowing that European fashions are of absorbing interest to the harem I next enquired: What do these ladies think of our stiff tailor-dresses? Dont they find them excessively ugly? Yes they do; (it was again the brother-in-law who replied.) But they suppose that in your own homes you dress less badly. And have they never any desire to travel, or visit the Bazaars, as the Turkish ladies do? No, indeed. They are too busy to give such matters a thought. In our country women of the highest class occupy themselves with their household and their children, and the rest of their time is devoted to needlework. (At this statement I gave the brother-in-law a smile as incredulous as his own.)

It is classic Wharton: a splendid mix of her own comic timing, her keen perception of the social order (the one man speaking for everyone else) and her blunt understanding of the devastating truth that women, no matter where in the world, were trapped by their own society. Wharton may have had grave blind spots, but she knew very well that her own freedom  as an educated woman unencumbered by children, with a great inheritance and a greater intellect  was rare. There is something magically uncensored and unanxious about Wharton in Morocco, her writing built on the simple premise that she wrote what she saw and said what she thought. Because why wouldnt she? She belongs to a small canon of great women explorers (Isabella Bird, Jane Bowles) who disobeyed the notion that they needed to follow the rules and stay put. Instead, she set forth  the ochre-colored dust of the desert swirling past her  and expected the rest of us to catch up.The Parisian jewelry designer Gaia Repossi made her first trip to Japan as a teenager 14 years ago  and shes returned virtually every year since. I came home with an extra suitcase full of crafts and the most amazing drawing materials, she says. Now I only work with Japanese stencils, technical drawing pens, paper and notebooks. Repossis love for the powerful simplicity of Japanese design has influenced the spare, architectural fine jewelry she creates for her familys namesake house, where she serves as creative director; she often revisits the temples of Kyoto and the island of Naoshima, where architect Tadao Andos structures abound, for inspiration. Eastern design has suffused her home in Saint-Germain-des-Pres, Paris, too  including an extensive collection of bud vases made by Japanese potters and Western artisans, who, like herself, are enamored of those traditions. Its something about the shapes and the way they take on color. Its an aesthetic thats timeless, yet so advanced, says Repossi. They remind me of little jewelry pieces.

Ceramic vase by J J Peet. Hes from Brooklyn, New York, but many of his pieces are interpretations of old Japanese ceramics.At Shiratani, there is no torii, and there are no shimenawa and no shide. In Japan, forests are the spaces that most resemble European cathedrals, and there is a fundamental wrongness, an eeriness, about Shiratanis lack, the kind of ghostliness one feels in a deconsecrated church. And yet one also observes, with every step, evidence of the human: The most popular (allegedly two-hour-long) path that cuts through the woods is a trail of scarred and rutted stones, slippery with moss so that your hands scrabble over wet tree roots for purchase, that was laid around 400 years ago, back when the forest was regularly plundered for timber to make shingles. It rains almost daily on Yakushima, and in the forest, everything is covered with a perpetual slick of dew or rain; one thinks of those early travelers, how they struggled up and down the hills in their straw sandals, cords of wood strapped to their backs.

But along with the aggressive tree-ness of Shiratani, it was what was missing that most reminded me of the forest of Princess Mononoke. Aside from the signs of the sacred, I realized, Shiratani also lacked flowers, and insects, and most unsettlingly, birdsong. You could stop and listen and hear only that plink of water that Miyazaki had recreated, but nothing else. You could look around you and see only green, green, green. Farther north, where the forest thinned, there were macaques, mean little creatures with flushed faces and disconcertingly human noses that walked on all fours as a bear cub might, but here, in its thickest section, there was nothing: The eye and ear searched and searched, but nothing was able to disrupt the dominance of the sugi themselves. It was as if the forest was so suffused with kami that there was no room for anything else.

The enchanted forest in Mononoke is similar, though with one big difference  that forest is the domain of the Forest Spirit, one of the most marvelous and frightening creatures invented in animation. By day, it is a massive, shaggy elk, its many horns blooming above its head like coral branches, its face resembling an ancient Japanese carved mask, with disquietingly human eyes. When it walks, wildflowers sprout, grow and die from wherever its cloven hoofs land; with a soft exhalation, it can kill or revive. But at nightfall, the Forest Spirits neck stretches toward the sky, and as the god grows, eventually looming above the treetops, it also becomes transparent, a kind of massive bipedal salamander, its back fringed with a frill of fins, stalking through the dark.

The Forest Spirit is, on one hand, simply more glorious evidence of Miyazakis fecund imagination. But his mysterious and discomfiting presence is proof as well of the directors preoccupation with the symbols and mythologies (and values) of a prelapsarian Japan, particularly those associated with Shinto and Buddhist folklore. The spirits elk form, for example, is likely an allusion to the deer, considered in both Shintoism and Buddhism to be a messenger of the gods (and his nighttime form borrowed from a Shinto legend of a spirit who can create footsteps in a frozen lake). In Totoro, the two girls, caught in a storm, pass a stone statue of a Jizo, a bodhisattva responsible for protecting children and travelers. And in 2001s Spirited Away, the story of a girls path to independence while being forced to work in a traditional Showa-era bathhouse frequented by gods and demons, and Miyazakis second masterwork, a river god purifies himself in a steaming tub of water, washing away the detritus of men. Many of Japans greatest directors  including Yasujiro Ozu and Akira Kurosawa, to name just two  wrestled, repeatedly, with whether and how industrialization had in some way fundamentally altered the countrys essential qualities: its worship of the natural world, its humility before it, its soul. But none have captured, in such color and with such verve, the profoundly pagan sense of twinned superstition and celebration that informs the culture, the way the country masquerades as a contemporary one in its surfaces and in its technology while still believing, unswervingly, in gods and monsters, in the divinity of a tree.It is the case that the government simply will not let die.

Three years ago, the Justice Department dropped espionage-related charges against Sherry Chen, a Chinese-American hydrologist at the National Weather Service, clearing her of accusations that she had used a stolen password to download information about the nations dams and lied about a meeting with a high-ranking Chinese official.

But Ms. Chen still cant get back to work. Even though her name was cleared, her employers at the Commerce Department  which oversees the National Weather Service  continue to press their case that Ms. Chen be fired for many of the same charges she was exonerated of, according to two people familiar with the case but not authorized to speak about it publicly.

The Commerce Department said it planned to fire Ms. Chen in 2015. She appealed to the federal Merit Systems Protection Board, an independent, bipartisan board charged with safeguarding the rights of civil servants. Last month  in an unusually strong-worded statement  the board ruled that the Commerce Department must reinstate her, give her back pay and cover her legal fees.

In the ruling, the judge overseeing the case, Michele Szary Schroeder, suggested that Commerce officials had buried exculpatory evidence that would have cleared Ms. Chen. She also wrote that the two officials who had decided to fire Ms. Chen appeared more concerned about being right than doing the right thing.Republican leaders in the Pennsylvania Statehouse said on Thursday that they would strip Representative Nick Miccarelli of his committee assignments, after finding that he had continued to retaliate against a woman who has accused him of sexual assault.

Mr. Miccarelli has refused to quit his seat in the state House of Representatives since early March. House leaders called for his resignation after finding that two womens allegations of domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse by Mr. Miccarelli were credible.

Earlier this month the women criticized Republican leaders for shielding Mr. Miccarelli by not expelling him or pressing him forcefully enough to quit. Thursdays action was a step in that direction.

This certainly got us down the field, said Terry Mutchler, a lawyer for the two women. Are we over the goal line? No.There is significant national momentum, and the pace of change is quickening, said Jeanne Smoot, senior counsel for public policy and strategy at Tahirih Justice Center, a nonprofit advocacy group that favors tighter limits. States are realizing that so long as laws remain on their books that may actually facilitate the forced marriage of a child, they need to consider themselves accountable.

Data that the group collected from public records in 41 states showed that between 2000 and 2015, more than 200,000 minors were married.

Experts on family law and advocates for women say that early marriage imposes social, educational and financial burdens on teenage girls. Because as minors they may lack the legal standing to file for divorce, experts say, many find themselves trapped in abusive relationships. The testimony of several survivors of child marriages has helped galvanize the movement to close marriage-law loopholes.

But some legislators and religious groups have argued that the stricter marriage laws infringe on religious freedom and parents rights. Some have argued that in the case of a pregnancy, a teenage mother would benefit from being married. Last year, Chris Christie, a Republican who was governor of New Jersey, conditionally vetoed a bill that would have banned marriage for children under 18, on the ground that it did not comport with the sensibilities or religious customs of some residents.

In addition to banning anyone under 16 from marrying, the bill pending in Missouri would prohibit 16- or 17-year-olds from marrying anyone over 21. Girls are often wed to older men in marriages that are arranged by families.HILO, Hawaii  The Kilauea volcano erupted from its summit on Thursday morning, spewing an ash plume that reached 30,000 feet above the island of Hawaii, the authorities said.

The eruption was the most forceful new explosion so far at Kilauea, one of the worlds most active volcanoes. Kilauea has already been triggering small earthquakes, creating gas-emitting fissures and releasing flows of lava that have destroyed dozens of homes this month.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory issued a code red warning that additional activity could be expected. At any time, activity may again become more explosive, increasing the intensity of ash production and producing ballistic projectiles near the vent, the observatory said.PAHOA, Hawaii  The electricity poles at the junction of Pohoiki Road and Leilani Avenue were split like matchsticks. Ohia lehua trees felled by the lava flows smoldered under the cloudy sky. The house where Ellen Garnett raised five children? Surrounded by mounds of hardened lava.

Welcome to our ghost town, said Ms. Garnett, 56, as she held a gas mask to her face while venturing into Leilani Estates, the once serene rural outpost on Hawaii Island devastated by the eruption this month of the Kilauea volcano. This is what paradise looks like when it turns into a little bit of hell.

An explosive eruption unleashed a cloud of hazardous ash 30,000 feet into the air Thursday, but even the day before, as Ms. Garnett and other evacuated residents made brief forays home, Leilani felt like an eerie lost city in the Polynesian jungle, its abandoned homes facing an onslaught not of vines but molten rock.If you look at whats happening with trade in China, it hasnt been fair for many, many years. When President Trump rails against China, he says things like, Our country is being taken advantage of, or, We lost years ago by presidents and others allowing this to happen. Hes probably referring to the past four decades, when China has grown faster than any major economy in history and gone from a poor, developing country to an economic powerhouse that is challenging Americas spot at the top of the international food chain. Its emergence as a global power was so sharp and so extreme, faster than the world can handle, in some ways faster than China can handle. The U.S. and other Western nations kick-started much of Chinas rise by opening up trade. What they havent figured out is how to get this fundamentally different economic system to play by free market rules. A pivotal moment came in 2001 after 15 years of negotiations. China joined the World Trade Organization, which sets the rules for free and fair trade between member countries. All of the countries that were in the club at the time put enormous demands on China for what they needed to do. The Chinese committed to sharply lower tariffs and reduced some of the governments role in how business gets done. But they argued then, as they still do now, that China is a developing country and so should be held to less stringent free trade standards. The hope was that these first steps would lead to even more sweeping changes. Why did we assume that? The experience of communism was through the lens of the Soviet Union and its satellite states, which was ultimately not a success. And so the presumption was, Chinas going to want to become like us, more market oriented. After China joined the W.T.O. in 2001, you saw this enormous surge of Chinese exports to everywhere in the world, and to the United States in particular. They were kind of an elephant hiding behind mice with respect to other countries in global trade negotiations at the time. The U.S. and other countries complained that China was not opening its markets enough, and keeping the value of its currency artificially low to make Chinese exports more attractive. China has been making great strides using tools that are really not acceptable under the global trade system. China has continued to operate as a centrally planned economy. The government owns, influences or subsidizes major industries, giving them an artificial competitive edge. There are heavy restrictions on foreign investment, and foreign companies are pressured to share their technologies. China has become more market oriented, but dating back to probably 2007, 2008, I think it was recognized that China wasnt on the path to become more like us. And so then countries began to think about, well, what do we do instead? Some view the rise of Asia-Pacific with suspicion and fear. America doesnt. Enter the Trans-Pacific Partnership, initiated by Bush, signed by Obama. When implemented, It wont just boost trade and support jobs in our 12 countries. It will help set stronger rules for trade across the Asia-Pacific. Put less politely, It was also supposed to be a bulwark to Chinas growing economic power. The idea was that China would want to join this great trading pact, and so they would have this incentive to reform their economy. This is the one that President Trump ripped up on his third day in office. The first one is withdrawal of the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. I had seen the erosion of popular and congressional support for trade for many years. But Id never seen anything like Donald Trump. Our founding fathers understood trade much better than our current politicians, believe me. Trade is generally accepted by economists as win-win for countries on the whole. But Trump says that China is winning and the U.S. is losing. He and people in his administration argue that past approaches to dealing with China havent worked. Its not actually that profitable to negotiate with them. We need to focus on this much bigger trade measure, and then we can really hit them with a very aggressive, forceful action. He seems intent on generating a moment of crisis. We put a $50 billion tariff on, then we put a $100 billion tariff on. And you know at a certain point, they run out of bullets. But dynamics have changed. Today, China sees its economy as strong enough to withstand almost anything the U.S. can throw at it.Democratic Party officials, desperate to present a unified front in advance of the all-important 2018 midterms, are working to revamp their presidential nominating process and erase the final vestiges of the bitter 2016 presidential primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders.

The most significant, and divisive, step would involve reducing the role and power of superdelegates  the unpledged party insiders who are free to back any candidate regardless of how the public votes  ahead of the 2020 election. Their influence caused substantial tension two years ago when supporters of Mr. Sanders zeroed in on superdelegates as undemocratic and said they created an unfair and even rigged system favoring Mrs. Clinton.

Now, party officials, including loyalists held over from both the Sanders and Clinton camps, are inching toward a compromise that would not only minimize the role of superdelegates but change the partys operational structure as well.

The ideas on the table range from eliminating superdelegates altogether to reducing their numbers significantly  from more than 700 currently to about 280. Some officials said they preferred a proposal in which only elected government officials, and not party leaders, retain their superdelegate status.THE FACTS

This requires context.

President Trumps complaints of unjust persecution are a matter of opinion  or, at the very least, a premature conclusion. But by quantifiable measures, the investigation of Russian election meddling to benefit Mr. Trumps presidential campaign is not the longest, least fruitful or most harmful inquisition in American history.

The largest literal witch hunt in American history was, of course, the trials and persecutions of people accused of witchcraft in Salem, Mass., from 1692 to 1693, said Robert Thurston, a historian who wrote the book The Witch Hunts.

The Trump-Russia investigation led by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, is nothing like a real witch hunt, Mr. Thurston said. No, no, no. Twenty people were executed at Salem. Nobodys been executed in Mueller. Its all hot air.

The Salem trials and witch hunts became popular metaphors for unjust political persecution in the 1930s, during industry purges in the Soviet Union and accusations of communism in the United States.In the end, those assurances were enough to win over a handful of skeptical senators. Two Republican no votes  and opposition from Senator John McCain of Arizona, the victim of torture in Vietnam who was not present for the vote  were more than offset by six Democrats, most of whom represent states that Mr. Trump won in 2016. Ms. Haspel also won over Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, who had led the interrogation of her record.

She was confirmed 54 to 45.

Ms. Haspel is now set to take over a spy agency that has managed to keep a low profile under Mr. Trump in recent months. He was sharply critical of Americas intelligence agencies before taking office, even comparing them to Nazis at one point. But Ms. Haspels predecessor, Mike Pompeo, who is now the secretary of state, built a warm rapport with the president.

Inside the agency, Mr. Pompeo had a more mixed reputation. He won praise for promoting agency veterans, including Ms. Haspel, who served as his deputy, and for pushing Mr. Trump to allow the C.I.A. to take on more aggressive covert operations. But Mr. Pompeos overt politics  he had been a firebrand Republican House member before taking over the C.I.A.  made many there uneasy that their work could be infected by political concerns.

Ms. Haspel is free of that particular baggage. Her nomination was seen by many at the C.I.A. as the best chance the agency had to avoid having a political partisan brought in as its director. Still, it remains to be seen how Ms. Haspel will get along with Mr. Trump, a president who prizes personal relationships above all else.

As a veteran clandestine officer, she lived and worked in secret and has never played any kind of public role. The C.I.A., typically reticent to draw attention to the work of its operatives, undertook an overt campaign to support Ms. Haspels nomination, declassifying aspects of her career to build a positive public image and authorizing a cadre of former officers to speak with reporters. Behind the scenes, former high-level officials from the agency pressed senators to get behind her nomination.WASHINGTON  The Transportation Security Administration has created a new secret watch list to monitor people who may be targeted as potential threats at airport checkpoints simply because they have swatted away security screeners hands or otherwise appeared unruly.

A five-page directive obtained by The New York Times said actions that pose physical danger to security screeners  or other contact that the agency described as offensive and without legal justification  could land travelers on the watch list, which was created in February and is also known as a 95 list.

An intent to injure or cause physical pain is not required, nor is an actual physical injury, according to the directive that was issued in March by Darby LaJoye, the agencys assistant administrator for security operations.

According to the directive, people who loiter suspiciously near security checkpoints could be put on the watch list. So could those who present what the document vaguely described as challenges to the safe and effective completion of screening.WASHINGTON  As female candidates crash the barricades of the Democratic Party and predict a blue wave of women in Congress, a string of high-profile departures of prominent Republican women threatens to leave the House with fewer Republican women next year.

A new and unusually large crop of female Republican candidates  many of whom have embraced President Trump as fervently as Democrat candidates have rejected him  hope to replenish the ranks, or come close. But the political headwinds facing Republicans and the districts that women are running in make that math daunting.

We have all this energy around female candidates, and yet Republicans could wind up with fewer women in Congress when all is said and done, said Kristen Soltis Anderson, a Republican strategist.

Of the 23 Republican women in the House, six  about one-quarter  are retiring or seeking higher office. They include a former Budget Committee chairwoman, Diane Black, running for governor of Tennessee; a firebrand who led the Republican inquiry into Planned Parenthood, Marsha Blackburn, running for Senate in Tennessee; another former member of the Republican leadership, Lynn Jenkins of Kansas, and a former Foreign Affairs chairwoman, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, who are retiring; and another former member of leadership, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, running for governor.WASHINGTON  In 2011, Michael B. Brennan, then a lawyer in Milwaukee, vigorously defended the right of Wisconsins Republican senator to single-handedly block an Obama administration nominee for a federal bench seat in the state. Last week, Mr. Brennan was confirmed as a Trump administration nominee to that very same seat despite vigorous objections by the states Democratic senator.

That incongruity is at the heart of what is fast becoming one of the most significant questions on Capitol Hill: How far will Republican senators go in pushing through President Trumps judicial nominees over the objections of Democrats from states where the potential new judges will preside?

The answer: pretty far.

Mr. Brennan was the second federal appellate court nominee confirmed despite a refusal by one home-state Democrat to consent to the nomination through the longstanding Senate tradition of signing and returning a blue-tinted form  known universally as the blue slip  demonstrating acquiescence in the presidential appointment.

Now the Senate Judiciary Committee could send to the floor a disputed nominee from Oregon who is opposed by both of that states senators, a major break with Senate custom. According to the Congressional Research Service, it would be the first time since at least 1979 that a federal judge could be confirmed over the objections of both home-state senators. Democrats believe it could be the first time ever.Holding political office in Florida increasingly requires trekking to Puerto Rico, the former home of a growing number of Florida residents. More than a million Puerto Ricans already lived in the state before the hurricane, and another 56,000 joined them in the first six months after Maria, according to an estimate by the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College in New York.

Perhaps not all of them will stay, much less vote: Puerto Ricans have tended to cast ballots less reliably than other Florida Hispanics. But if they do  perhaps driven by the slow response to Hurricane Maria  they could emerge as a significant political force, and not just for Democrats. Though Puerto Ricans tend to lean left, many have also registered as Florida voters without party affiliation, giving Republicans an opening to make a play for their support. If Republicans are successful, they could grow their Hispanic conservative base beyond Cuban Americans.

In any case, the arrival of Puerto Ricans has not gone unnoticed in a state where premier election contests have routinely been decided by a single percentage point. The islands recovery from Hurricane Maria has become an issue of critical concern in Florida, with candidates jostling to appear in touch with the states Puerto Rican diaspora.

This election season, its not just Mr. Nelson, who is facing a daunting Republican challenge from Gov. Rick Scott, vying for the Puerto Rican vote. Candidates down the ticket are also adopting the islands cause.

State Representative David Richardson of Miami Beach, a Democratic candidate for Congress, this month spent 48 hours on what he called a listening tour of the island. He is running in Floridas 27th Congressional District, which is nearly 72 percent Hispanic and largely Cuban-American. His campaign research, however, revealed that about 25,000 Puerto Ricans live in the district, he said, so Mr. Richardson felt a trip to the island was in order.WASHINGTON  President Trump on Thursday defended his use of the word animals to describe dangerous criminals trying to cross into the United States illegally, saying that he had been referring to members of the brutal transnational gang MS-13 when he used language critics called inappropriate.

Im referring, and you know Im referring, to the MS-13 gangs that are coming in, Mr. Trump told a reporter who asked him about the remark, a day after using the term during a White House meeting about immigration. We have laws that are laughed at on immigration. So when the MS-13 comes in, when the other gang members come into our country, I refer to them as animals. And guess what  I always will.

The president was doubling down on a statement he made on Wednesday at a round-table discussion with state and local officials from California, at which Mr. Trump and his guests criticized the states so-called sanctuary laws, which restrict communication between local law enforcement and federal immigration officers. He used the word as one of the officials argued that the state laws made it more difficult for her to share information with immigration authorities about dangerous criminals, including MS-13 members.

We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in  were stopping a lot of them, Mr. Trump said in response, during a session where he complained that the United States has the dumbest laws on immigration in the world.Image Credit...

Whether to induce labor for babies at or beyond full term is a difficult decision.

Waiting to give b irth after 41 weeks gestation may slightly increase the risk that the baby will die before or shortly after birth. But there are also risks in inducing labor, including lowering the babys heart rate and an increased likelihood of infection for both mother and baby.

Now a review in the Cochrane Library of 30 randomized trials involving more than 12,000 women with normal pregnancies in the United States and 13 other countries has found that induction at or beyond 41 weeks of gestation is safer than waiting.

The analysis found that compared with waiting for labor to begin, induction was associated with fewer perinatal deaths, stillbirths and cesarean sections.

The incidence of perineal trauma, postpartum bleeding or the need to admit babies to a neonatal intensive care unit was the same whether a woman was induced or not, and the amount of time mothers had to stay in the hospital did not differ between groups.NGOZI, Burundi  Millions of people went to the polls in Burundi on Thursday to vote on a referendum to replace the countrys constitution. I came here as one of the few foreign reporters with a visa and accreditation to cover the scenes at the polls, where voters were deciding on some significant changes.

The biggest change of the new constitution will be the extension of the presidential term, from five years to seven years. Pierre Nkurunziza, who has been president of Burundi since 2005, is widely expected to use the new constitution  if it passes  to run again in 2020. Under the new rules, he could stay in power until 2034  and then run again (and again) after sitting out for just one term.

Most foreign correspondents were denied access, and two weeks ago the government suspended the BBC and Voice of America from broadcasting inside the country.SRINAGAR, Kashmir  The Indian government said it would halt operations against separatist militants in Jammu and Kashmir State during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which began on Thursday. It was the first time in 18 years that the Indian government declared a cease-fire for Ramadan in the territory.

Over the last year, Kashmir has been sliding deeper into turmoil, with dozens of militants killed, huge protests erupting and a heavy sense of despair settling over the disputed territory. Many Kashmiris expressed hope on Thursday that the letup in security operations would calm tensions and reinvigorate efforts to find peace.

This is the right time for a cease-fire, said Bashir Ahmed Khanday, whose son, a militant, was recently killed. No one wants to see his son come home wrapped in a shroud.

Kashmir, a Himalayan mountain valley known for spectacular beauty, has been submerged in bloody conflicts for more than 70 years. Both India and Pakistan claim it, and the battles over this area have killed tens of thousands of people.Just a few months ago, the political machine led by Najib Razak, the gilded prime minister of Malaysia, appeared so indestructible that a multibillion-dollar corruption scandal seemed unlikely to derail it. The end came so quickly, so completely, that even his opponents were shocked.  Hannah Beech, Richard C. Paddock and Alexandra Stevenson, May 15

In a historic election upset in a country that has been governed by just one coalition for decades, a Malaysian opposition bloc led by the 92-year-old former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad swept to a majority in national parliamentary elections.  Richard C. Paddock, May 9

Mahathir Mohamad, who led Malaysia for decades with dagger-sharp rhetoric and increasingly autocratic ways, one of the worlds most durable political survivors, has engaged in yet another act of reinvention. This time, he is allying himself with opposition figures he once repressed in the name of beating his own former protege, Najib Razak, whom he helped make prime minister in 2009.  Richard C. Paddock, Feb. 17

Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim, after years of bad blood and the imprisonment of Mr. Anwar, have retaken their places at the top of Malaysian politics: Mr. Mahathir is prime minister once again, at age 92, and Mr. Anwar, newly pardoned by the countrys king on Wednesday, is waiting to inherit the leadership.  Austin Ramzy, May 15

President Trump did not single out Mr. Najibs patronage of his hotel two blocks from the White House, but he could have: the Malaysian leader was spotted entering and exiting the Trump International Hotel, with his entourage, on Monday and Tuesday.  Mark Landler, Sept. 12When North Korea threatened to back out of the nuclear summit with President Trump, they pointed the finger at one person  John Bolton  and blasted his calls for the so-called Libya model. Not even Boltons boss is happy with it. Well, the Libyan model isnt a model that we have at all. So just what is Boltons so-called Libya model? It started in 2003, when Libya decided to dismantle its fledgling nuclear weapons program. The country even shipped parts to a warehouse in Tennessee. These are aluminum vacuum tubes in which the centrifuge machinery themselves operate. And according to John Bolton, it all went down in one fell swoop. No half-steps, no concessions. His take was that Muammar Qaddafi simply made a strategic calculation: Give up the nukes, and Libya would no longer be a global pariah  and avoid the fate of Saddam Husseins Iraq. What actually happened with Libya is a matter of debate, but it became Boltons go-to model for how to disarm rogue states like North Korea. Is it a requirement that Kim Jong-un agree to give away those weapons before you give any kind of concession? I think thats right. I think were looking at the Libya model of 2003, 2004. The implementation of the decision means getting rid of all the nuclear weapons, dismantling them, taking them to Oak Ridge, Tenn. Why is Boltons Libya model so offensive to North Korea? First, its a dig at the regimes crowning achievement. As the official North Korea statement says, It is absolutely absurd to compare North Korea, a nuclear state, to Libya, which had been at the initial state of nuclear development. Its true that Libya was barely a nuclear startup. And North Korea actually has warheads, ballistic missiles and a vast network of labs and development sites. Second, North Korea calls Boltons model a sinister move to impose on our dignified state the destiny of Libya or Iraq. A few years after Libyas nukes were shipped to Tennessee, U.S.-backed airstrikes helped overthrow Qaddafi: a vivid reminder to Kim Jong-un of what happens to leaders who give up their defenses. So why is Bolton invoking a reference thats clearly so inflammatory? There are some who speculate that Bolton is intentionally sabotaging the North Korea talks, just as he did in 2003, because he believes North Korea cant be trusted. This is him on Fox News just a few weeks before becoming national security adviser. Why in the world would they agree to not halt the program, to give it up completely? It just doesnt logically make any sense. Because theyre lying. You know, theres an all-purpose joke here. Question: How do you know that the North Korean regime is lying? Answer: Their lips are moving. According to Bolton, this is their real goal. They want to buy time. Three months, six months, 12 months, whatever it is they need to get across the finish line. Bolton says this was part of his life as a pundit. Now his job is to help the president achieve his goals. Which by all measures seems to include cutting a historic deal with North Korea. It could be that Bolton simply believes the only way to prevent North Korea from playing games is to demand a Libya-style playbook. But what is clear is Boltons repeated talk about the Libya model is antagonizing the North  and now apparently the White House. The Libyan model that was mentioned was a much different deal. This would be with Kim Jong-un something where hed be there, hed be in his country, hed be running his country.To understand the twists and turns of doing business in Iran, look no further than the Peugeot 405. This boxy, mid-sized car is everywhere in Iran. But its had a bumpy ride. Thats because doing business there can be unpredictable. Peugeots a French company thats been making cars for over 100 years. Because you dont get to be the second-oldest carmaker in the world by making second-rate cars. But it didnt start in Iran until the 1990s. In Tehran it partnered with Iran Khodro, an automaker thats partly owned by the Iranian government. It was a huge success. By the beginning of 2012, Peugeot was all in on Iran. It had 30 percent of the automobile market and Iran was a major source of revenue for Peugeot, second only to France. And among Irans middle class, owning a Peugeot meant that you had made it. But all that changed when the U.S., European Union and United Nations imposed tough sanctions to make Iran curb its nuclear program. International companies were blocked from working in Iran, and Peugeot was forced out. Our company was also a victim of the sanctions. Seeing an opening, Chinese car makers leapt to take Peugeots place. And back home in France, Peugeot is in decline, partly because it lost access to the Iranian market. By 2014, the company was slashing jobs and scrambling for new financing. Then this happened. Breaking overnight, a historic deal. We have a real opportunity to achieve a comprehensive peaceful settlement. Iran signed a historic nuclear deal in 2015. As long as the country met stringent restrictions on its nuclear program, foreign investment could restart. It was a big opportunity for Peugeot and the company quickly moved to take advantage. In 2016, Peugeot began investing hundreds of millions of dollars as part of a renewed partnership with Iran Khodro. It is a real comeback of PSA in Iran. And business was booming once again. These new deals helped double sales in the region that year. But then  We will be instituting the highest level of economic sanction. Now that the U.S. is pulling out of the nuclear deal, Peugeot may be going back to where it started. This country, which has been tied to so many of the companys ups and downs, might be off limits again. Its a cautionary tale for investors looking to cash in on Iran.This much ought to be clear by now: If you ask the internet to settle anything, you do so at your own peril.

A municipality in southeastern Estonia recently asked internet users what its symbol should be. Their answer: the cannabis leaf.

Undeterred, the town, Kanepi, adopted the leaf as its emblem on Wednesday. Kaido Koiv, chairman of the town council, defended the decision as a very democratic process, according to Reuters, even though the number of online voters in favor of it  about 12,000  was more than double the municipalitys population of 5,000.

The choice of the marijuana plant is not entirely incongruous: Kanep means cannabis in Estonian, and the leaf, according to local legend, has been used as a symbol of the area for at least 150 years, referring to the hemp traditionally grown and made into cloth, oil and rope there.SOFIA, Bulgaria  Venting anger at President Trump, European leaders said Thursday they would take steps aimed at blunting the effects of the American sanctions he restored on Iran, which could penalize European companies doing business there.

At a European Union summit meeting in Sofia, Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, the blocs executive arm, said it would begin a legal process to prohibit companies based in the 28-member union from complying with the American sanctions.

We should know that the effects of the announced American sanctions will not remain without consequences, Mr. Juncker said. We have a duty to protect our European companies.

The meeting, with leaders of western Balkan countries, came barely a week after Mr. Trump quit the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and leading world powers, which has eased sanctions in exchange for verifiable curbs on Irans nuclear activities.LONDON  They came from Arizona, Australia, Brighton, Seattle and Nottingham, among other places. They came because they love the royal family, because they love to eat cake and, in one case, because they had free tickets.

English literature is full of tales of disparate people thrown together for unexpected reasons. But Wednesday afternoons gathering was hardly And Then There Were None. Rather, it was a 90-minute royal-wedding-and-high-tea-themed bus tour that ended up attracting a full gamut of royalists, anti-royalists and dont-care-ists who were not always altogether sure what they were doing there.

The bus tour idea was just a different way of having afternoon tea, while going someplace, said Sally Saunders, a high school teacher from Wollongong, Australia, who was starting on her first course, featuring mini-shepherds pies, cucumber sandwiches and sausage rolls. The whole point is to drive around London and eat some nice food. As for the royals  whatever.LONDON  Britains building safety systems are a lax and confused mess in need of a major overhaul and much tougher enforcement, an investigator commissioned after the Grenfell Tower disaster reported on Thursday, but she did not recommend banning all flammable facades, a critical factor in that fire.

The report drew swift rebukes from survivors of the fire, which killed 71 people, and from Labour members of Parliament, who have demanded a ban on flammable cladding of the sort used on Grenfell Tower, a move the Royal Institute of British Architects has also endorsed. That cladding has long been prohibited in the United States for buildings above a certain height, and in some places it is banned entirely.

Judith Hackitt, the engineer commissioned by the Conservative government to conduct the investigation, acknowledged the need for a radical rethink of the whole system and how it works. But she also maintained that her mission was to assess the big picture, not myriad individual rules. As a result, her 159-page report did not address specific changes people have called for, like a cladding ban or requiring sprinklers and multiple fire stairs in high-rise buildings.

This review is a betrayal and a whitewash, said David Lammy, a Labour lawmaker who has become an outspoken government critic. It is unthinkable and unacceptable that so many people can die in a disaster like Grenfell and one year on flammable cladding has not been banned.LONDON  After weeks of media speculation, Meghan Markle confirmed on Thursday that her father would not be walking her down the aisle on Saturday at her wedding to Prince Harry.

India

By Vinod

NEW Delhi: After the Karnataka elections, now the BJP has given a roadmap of the general elections 2019 to all Morcha office bearers of the party with a target of winning 282 plus seats in these elections by garnering fifty per cent voters of the country. The party wants from its workers governance of the country for 50 years to transform the nation.

As One India wrote first that the unofficial poll bugle will be sounded on May 17 with this meeting, both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party President Amit Shah addressed the gathering of Morcha office bearer in Delhi with same objective in mind.

Prime Minister said, "With the BJP forming the government in Karnataka, the BJP and its coalition is ruling in 21 states of the country. This is a big success that comes with the responsibility on our shoulders. As decided, now Morcha leaders would have to contact 22 thousand villages to showcase achievements of the government."

Amit Shah was clear in his approach about targets setting for his party colleagues. He said that the BJP wants 50 year BJP rule from Parliament to panchayat from the people of this country to transform the nation. So the development of the country could be taken into the right direction.

Some people call it an exaggerations but I am very much serious about taking it further. "We are not here to make Modi ji Prime Minister and Sushma Swaraj, Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley and Nitin Gadkari ministers rather we are here to serve the nation."

He said that the party must increase its last Lok Sabha elections tally of 282 seats by visiting beneficiaries of the government schemes that are around 22 crorer. The BJP wants to garner 50 percent votes in the country which is the task for net general elections.

"There is also an important thing to understand that Opposition is united due to our fear but we are not afraid to anyone. We are not here to win 2019, 2024 and some more elections but we want 50 years in the government to transform the nation," he said.

BJP Morcha office bearers were asked that they must use Namo App to tell people about the government schemes and must undertake membership drive among people. Morcha must reach out to people as much as possible by saying that Pariwarvad (dynasty) is over and Parishramwad (hardwork) has taken over. Creative work should be done at every booth; new voters should be brought to the party fold that would be done by all the seven morcha united.

Development work must be encouraged. The PM said to the Morcha workers to work on the principal of nation first not on the family first. Every section of the society will be contacted and intellectuals will be brought to the party fold.BSY's swearing-in: Congress, JD (S) stage protest at Gandhi statue in Vidhana Soudha

The Congress leaders have gathered at the Mahatma Gandhi Statue's in the Vidhana Soudha premises to stage a protest against BS Yeddyurappa's swearing-in as the Karnataka Chief Minister. The JD (S) leaders have also joined the Congress for the protest.

Senior Congress leaders, including Ghulam Nabu Azad, Ashok Gehlot, Mallikarjun Kharge, KC Venugopal and Siddaramaiah, are present at the protest venue. As per latest reports, HD Deve Gowda has also joined the Congress leaders at the Gandhi statue to protest against BJP.

The Congress MLAs are lodged at Bengaluru's Eagleton Resort. The decision to keep them together was taken in order to thwart any attempts of poaching by the BJP ahead of the crucial floor test. Deve Gowda earlier today Shangri-La Hotel in Bengaluru where the JD (S) MLAs are staying.

The political temperatures are soaring high in Bengaluru after election result. The Congress and the JD (S) were left fuming after Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala on Wednesday evening allowed the BJP, which emerged as the single largest party in assembly elections, to form the government and prove majority on the floor of the House within 15 days. The Congress had approached the Supreme Court and contended that the Governor's decision to call BJP for government formation first was unconstitutional. The Congress had sought court's intervention in the matter and demanded a stay on swearing in.

The apex court, however, refused to stay the swearing in of Yeddyurappa. Subsequently, Yeddyurappa took oath as the 23rd Chief Minister of Karnataka this morning (May 17).

The court said that the the outcome of the swearing in would be subject to the outcome of the petition filed by the Congress and JD(S). When Abhishek Manu Singvi pleaded that the swearing in be stayed, the court refused to do so. His plea to schedule the floor test in the Karnataka legislative assembly for Friday was also rejected.

The result of the Karnataka assembly elections 2018 was announced on May 15 and the BJP emerged as the single largest party by bagging 104 seats in a 224 seat assembly (polling was held in 222 seats on May 12). The BJP ended up eight seats short of the majority mark which gave the Congress and the JD (S) to cobble up an alliance and stake a claim to form the government. Congress-JD (S) combine has 118 seats, which is well above the halfway mark needed to form the government.CBSE Class 10th Results 2021: Board likely to declare results soon; here's how to check your roll number

The CBSE Class 10 and 12 results 2018 will be declared soon. The results once declared will be available on the official website.

The results are expected to be out in the next two weeks. Unconfirmed reports say that the results may be declared in the last week of May.

An official of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has said that the re-test of the Class 12 Economics paper, held on April 25, nearly a month after it was leaked, will not delay declaration of results. The results are expected to be declared by May 30.

"The results will be declared on time as the evaluation is in advanced stage despite re-exam of economics paper. We have rigorously followed up with schools to send more evaluators than the required number," a senior Board official said.

There were also reports of the CBSE's Class 10 mathematics paper being leaked, but the board decided against its re-test, saying class 10 was just an "internal segment" of school education system.

The reports of leak of the CBSE papers had caused disappointment among students across the country last month. In Delhi, students held protests accusing the CBSE of negligence and demanded immediate action against the guilty.

According to Delhi Police, the class 12 economics paper was leaked on 23 March - three days before the scheduled date of the examination.

Investigators made arrests in several parts of the country in connection with the case, including in Jharkhand and Himachal Pradesh.

They claimed to have arrested the main conspirators behind the leak from Una in Himachal Pradesh. The three people were staffers of a school in the town. The results once declared will be available on cbse.nic.in.

Story first published: Thursday, May 17, 2018, 8:47 [IST]How the BJP bettered its performance in the Muslim, SC dominated areas

India

oi-Vicky Nanjappa

The polarisation of Hindu votes in the Muslim dominated areas helped the BJP gain in numbers in the Muslim dominated constituencies. The party's number grew from 6 in 2013 to 15 this year in the constituencies that are dominated by Muslims.

In Karnataka there are 33 constituencies which have a Muslim dominated population. The fact that the BJP performed well in these belts could be attributed to the fact that there was a split of Muslim votes between the Congress and JD(S) apart from the fact that the Hindu votes had polarised in favour of the party.

In the Muslim dominated constituencies, the Congress which had won 19 in 2013 managed 15 this year. The JD(S) won 3 as opposed to the five in 2013. The others drew a blank as opposed to the 4 they had won in the previous elections.

The BJP also performed well in those belts that were dominated by the Schedule Castes. Its tally was up from 11 in 2013 to 22 in 2018. There are 64 seats where there is a population of 15 per cent SCs.

In this seats it was expected that the BJP would perform badly owing to the widespread Dalit protests that had taken place across the country. However the BJP doubled its seats in these belts owing to several factors. Dr. Sandeep Shastri, leading political scientist says that the AHINDA agenda did not hold strongly for the Congress. The non-Kurubas and the OBCs moved towards the BJP. The left Dalits too have been unhappy with Siddaramaiah over the non-implementation of a proposal that recommended internal reservation for them. Overall the social coalition that the Congress tried to create backfired and ended up benefiting the BJP, he also says.

The other major factor was the return of B Sriramulu to the BJP. He was projected as the tallest leader among the tribals which helped the party score in these belts.

In the SC dominated belts, the Congress had won 36 in 2013, but in 2018 the number came down to 26. For the JD(S) the performance was almost same when compared to 2013. The party won 15 seats this year when compared to the 14 in 2013. The others tally came down from 3 in 2013 to 1 this year.

The big gains that the BJP made was in the mining region. From 4 in 2013, the party's tally rose to 15 this year. The mining region has 26 seats. For the Congress on the other hand the tally dropped from 18 in 2013 to 11 this year. The JD(S) which bagged 3 seats in 2013 drew a blank. The tally of the others too came down from 1 to 0 this year.

In the Lingayat dominated seats the BJP repeated its performance of 2008 by winning 38 seats. In 2013 the party won just 11. The disaster was for the Congress whose tally came down from 47 in 2013 to 21 this year. The JD(S) had bagged 11 in 2013 and its number dropped to 10 this year.

By Oneindia Staff

Lucknow, May 17: While the entire nation was hooked to the political twists and turns that took place in Karnataka in the wake of Assembly elections, a 14 year-old girl was allegedly raped by three youth of her village under Kotwali Dehat police station area in Etah, Uttar Pradesh.

According to a complaint lodged by the victim's father, the girl had gone to relieve herself on Wednesday morning. When she did not return for long, a search was launched and she was found lying in an unconscious state in an agriculture field, the police said.

She was taken to the district hospital where she claimed that three persons dragged her away to a secluded spot and raped her. The victim also named the accused, the police said. An FIR has been lodged and hunt was on to nab the accused, the police added.

In the last few weeks, cases of rapes of minor girls have been reported from almost every corner of the country with mind-boggling frequency. Angry citizens of the country protested on roads in various parts of the country over the horrific rape cases reported from Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua and Uttar Pradesh's Unnao.

Both the cases caught the attention of the nation because of its barbarity and open support for the accused from a section of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). After its "studied silence" over crimes against women, especially minor girls, the Narendra Modi government approved the ordinance to allow courts to award death penalty to those convicted of raping girls under 12 recently.

The ordinance has got mixed reactions as many feel that laws hold no meaning if the authorities do not bring cases of rape to justice.

By Vikas

The Supreme Court on Thursday (May 17) directed the Jammu and Kashmir police to interrogate the Kathua gangrape cases witnesses, three of whom had alleged torture by the cops, from a 'visible distance'. The apex court has also ordered the state police to question the witnesses in presence of their families.

On May 14, three college friends of a key accused in the sensational Kathua gangrape and murder case of an eight-year-old girl moved the Supreme Court alleging torture and sought protection from a central agency.

Yesterday (May 16), the Centre told the Supreme Court that attempts are being made to impede the probe. The state, meanwhile, sought time from the apex court to respond to the allegations of torture against the Jammu and Kashmir police.

Lawyer Ravi Sharma, representing students Sahil Sharma, Sachin Sharma and Neeraj Sharma, sought urgent hearing on the plea alleging that they and their families were being coerced by the Crime Branch of the Jammu and Kashmir police. The Jammu-based students, who are pursuing B.Sc in Agriculture at a college in Muzzafar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, are classmates of Vishal Jangotra, a key accused in the case, the plea said.

Earlier, the apex court had transferred the trial in the sensational Kathua gangrape and murder case of an eight-year-old girl from Jammu and Kashmir to Pathankot in Punjab, but had refrained from handing over the probe to CBI saying there was no need as the investigation has been conducted and the charge sheet filed.

The apex court, which ordered day-to-day "in-camera" trial in the case, had said there was a need to shift the trial outside the state as "fear and fair trial" were contradictory and "cannot be allowed to co-exist." The victim, belonging to a minority nomadic community, had disappeared from near her home in a village close to Kathua in the Jammu region on January 10. Her body was found in the same area a week later. The state police has filed the main charge sheet against seven persons and a separate charge sheet against a juvenile in a court in Kathua district.

Security outside the Eagleston resort, where Congress MLAs are holed up, has been removed hours after BS Yeddyurappa took oath as chief minister of Karnataka on Thursday.

According to the Congress party leaders, 78 MLAs are lodged in the resort located near Bidadi in the outskirts of Bengaluru. The Congress wants to foil BJP's plan to poach MLAs to prove majority on the floor of the house.

Senior leader KH Muniyappa, said, " This is not the system. Irrespective of whose govt it is, it is their duty to provide protection, provide security to the elected representatives."

The Supreme Court has given the Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi 48 hours to produce the two letters written by BS Yeddyurappa to the Governor staking his claim to form a government.

The top law officer has to procure the documents from the Governor and produce them before the court on May 18 at 10.30 a.m.

As the deadline is approaching BJP is desperate to get the required number to prove the majority. The BHP still needs the support of seven MLAs to form the government.No stay on Yeddyurappas swearing in, SC asks letters written to Governor

India

oi-Vicky Nanjappa

The Supreme Court has given the green signal to the swearing in ceremony of B S Yeddyurappa as Chief Minister of Karnataka. The court however directed Yeddyurappa to produce before it the letter of support by 10.30 am on Friday when the court would continue hearing the matter.

The court said that the the outcome of the swearing in would be subject to the outcome of the petition filed by the Congress and JD(S). When Abhishek Manu Singvi pleaded that the swearing in be stayed, the court refused to do so. His plea to schedule the floor test in the Karnataka legislative assembly for Friday was also rejected.

The court also asked the Attorney General to produce the May 15 and 16 letters written by Yeddyurappa to the Governor in which he staked a claim to form the government.

There were dramatic arguments in the court that began at 2 am, with the Congress saying that the action of the Governor was wrong in law. Abhishek Manu Singvi appearing for the Congress and JD(S) said that the Governor completely dispensed with the Constitutional norm. He said that Kumaraswamy staked a claim to form the government with the support from the Congress. They have a total strength of 116 in the 222 member House. The BJP has just 104 MLAs and the Governor invited the party and this is unconstitutional, Singvi also argued.

He cited the Goa case where he said that a post poll alliance by the BJP, despite the Congress being the single largest party had stolen a march over the Congress to form the government and the Supreme Court had upheld it. The Governor of Karnataka has negated democracy by not calling the Congress-JD(S) to form the government. He said that the Governor has given Yeddyurappa 15 days time. This invites horse trading he also added.

Calling a person who commands 104 MLAs ahead of another who commands 116 MLAs and then giving the person 15 days is adding insult to injury by the Governor, Singhvi contended. The SC however asked if it was not the norm that the single largest party be called first. Singvi said that it may be the single largest party, but it does not have a majority. How do you know Yeddyurappa has not submitted a list of MLAs and claimed majority support, the court asked.

When Singvi said that the Governor's action must be stayed, the court said that the general trend as per the SC verdicts is not to interfere with the Governor. Attorney General, K K Venugopal stepped in and said that the SC can never step into examining the Governor's zone of satisfaction of a party providing stable government.

Mukul Rohatgi appearing for the BJP said that this matter should not have been heard at midnight. Heavens would not have fallen if someone is sworn in. The last time the SC heard a case at this time was relating to the hanging of Yakub Memon. The AG said that this petition should not have been filed. They should have waited for the outcome of the floor test, he also said.

At this juncture there was a twist. The court said that it would not stay the swearing in. However Singvi continued to insist that it be stayed and arguments continued for another hour.

Rohatgi said that in the Goa case the Congress never staked a claim. Rohatgi said that in Goa, Digambar Kamat of Congress never made a claim. So the next person Manohar Parrikar of the BJP made the claim and was invited to form the government. The number of days that could be given to Yeddyurappa to prove his majority can be debated after two days. It is not a case of Yakub Memon hanging that the arguments to continue exactly in the same fashion from 2 am to 5 am, he also said.

The court observed that if court cannot issue notice to Governor, then it should not injunct him from swearing in also. It stands to reason that we cannot injunct a party ( Governor) we cannot summon here, the court also said.

If a Governor dared to make a one party party CM, we cannot injunct the CM from taking oath. But we can stay his government from functioning the court observed to which Singvi said, "you cannot give me a right of which the remedy is illusory." The court however asked, "are you saying we cannot stop a government from functioning."Ram Jethmalani: A look at some of his most controversial, high-profile cases

Senior Supreme Court lawyer Ram Jethmalani on Thursday mentioned before the Bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud his application for urgent hearing against Karnataka Governor for inviting BS Yeddyurappa for forming the government. Ram Jethmalani, who had anouncement his retirement from active legal service in Septemember 2017, is back with the petition.

The Bench directed him to mention it tomorrow before an appropriate bench.

'What has BJP said to Governor , that he did such a stupid action? Order of Governor is open invitation to do corruption.' Jethmalani has approached SC against Karnataka Guv's invitation to Yeddyurappa for forming govt," News agency ANI quoted as saying Ram Jethmalani.

Ram Jethmalani filed the petition after Supreme Court gave the green signal to the swearing in ceremony of B S Yeddyurappa as Chief Minister of Karnataka. The court however directed Yeddyurappa to produce before it the letter of support by 10.30 am on Friday when the court would continue hearing the matter.

Abhishek Manu Singhvi contended in SC that calling a person who commands 104 MLAs ahead of another who commands 116 MLAs and then giving the person 15 days is adding insult to injury by the Governor. The joint petition by the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular) had sought a stay on the oath-taking ceremony, as communicated by the governor to the BJP's chief ministerial candidate B S Yeddyurappa.

Ram Jethmalani has been critique of PM Narendra Modi and his BJP government. Jethmalani had accused PM Modi of not being honest about bringing back black money stashed abroad.

Mr. Jethmalani, who announced his retirement from active legal service last week, said the Prime Minister was no help in his fight against black money. "The awful truth dawned on me in early 2015 when BJP president Amit Shah disclosed that all talk about black money recovery was a 'chunavi jhumla,' a gimmick or a joke," he said.

oi-Vicky Nanjappa

The legislature secretariat has recommended the name of R V Deshpande as pro-tem speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. The name of Deshpande, a Congress MLA was recommend after taking into consideration that he is the senior most member of the House.

The recommendation will now be sent to the Governor who give his stamp of approval.

A pro-tem speaker is the one who operates as a temporary speaker. To conduct the work in the Centre or in state legislatures, a pro-tem speaker is appointed for a limited period. When a new assembly is elected, but the vote for the speaker or deputy speaker has not taken place, the pro-tem speaker is chosen. A pro-tem speaker is chosen with the agreement of the members of the legislative assembly so that he can carry on the activities till the permanent speaker is chosen.

The convention is that the senior most member of the House is chosen as a pro-tem speaker. Further it would also be taken into account that he or she is not likely to be the speaker candidate and also should not be a minister.

The current strength of the House is 222 and the magic number is 112. The Congress-JD(S) claim that together they have the support of 116 MLAs. The BJP is 8 short with 104 MLAs. The pro-tem speaker will be the one who will conduct the House and it is he would take a call on whether the trust vote should be held through a voice vote or ballot.Rubber stamp? How Karnataka politics has put governors role under scanner, once again

India

oi-Maitreyee

Bengaluru, May 17: The post of governor in India has always been a controversial one, thanks to how the appointment of the constitutional head is guided by political expediency of the ruling party at the Centre since ages.

Mostly seen as a post-retirement gift to veteran politicians, army officials and diplomats loyal to the ruling party at the Centre, the independence and integrity of the office of the governor has been questioned on several occasions in the past. Term like "rubber stamp" (a person who gives approval to any decision of the ruling party without any due consideration as demanded from a constitutional head) has been used to target the governor if he/she is seen "erring" by the Opposition.

Amid hectic political developments in Karnataka in the aftermath of the Assembly election results, all eyes were focused on Karnataka governor Vajubhai Vala in the last few days. While both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)) alliance staked their claim to form the next government in the state after election results gave a fractured mandate, Vala, a well-known BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi loyalist, decided to call BS Yeddyurappa, the BJP's chief ministerial candidate, to be sworn in as the new head of Karnataka.

While the BJP has 104 MLAs in its kitty, the Congress-JD(S) combine on Wednesday submitted a letter with the signatures of 117 MLAs to the governor. In spite of having a clear majority, the governor gave "preference" to the BJP's claim as Yeddyurappa on early Thursday morning took the oath as the new CM of Karnataka.

In a dramatic turn of events, the Congress-JD(S) alliance approached the Supreme Court on Wednesday midnight to stall the swearing-in ceremony of Yeddyurappa, but the apex court decided not to interfere with the governor's decision.

The governor's decision to call the BJP, the single-largest party in the current Karnataka Assembly, to form the new government is the most "logical" step taken by Vala as the same has been suggested by the Sarkaria Commission in 1998.

However, recent precedents in Goa and Manipur (last year) and Meghalaya (this year) show that it is not always necessary to call the single-largest party to form the government when there is a fractured mandate. In all these three states, the BJP-led alliances formed governments surpassing the Congress with the highest number of seats.

Now, the question is how in Manipur, Goa and Meghalaya, the governors decided to call alliance partners to form governments and not in Karnataka? One more important reason why a lot of legal and constitutional experts are opposing Vala's decision is that by giving preference to the BJP, Vala has opened the floodgates for horse-trading, resort politics and operation kamala or operation lotus (a term coined by the BJP back in 2008 to win over MLAs from the opposition parties) in Karnataka.

The BJP, which is short of at least eight seats, is likely to go to any extent to get the numbers to clear the crucial floor test. The governor has also given the BJP 15 days to prove its majority, which again is quite a long period to be enjoyed by any party to remain in power without the numbers.

Raising doubts over the alleged partial role played by Vala, who was a former speaker of Gujarat, in the entire Karnataka political drama, former Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah called the Karnataka governor a "rubber stamp".

"Once more an occupant of a Raj Bhavan allows himself to be used as a rubber stamp. BJP announces (& then deletes) the details of #Yeddyurappa swearing in slated for tomorrow before it can be officially communicated," tweeted Abdullah.

Abdullah alleged that the BJP "misused the powers of governors" and "blew the constitution to shambles". "Subtext we don't need lessons from anyone else, we can blow the constitution to shambles & misuse the powers of Governors as well as the best in the business," the former J&K CM added.

In a veiled attack on the Karnataka Governor's decision to invite the BJP to form government and prove majority first, the Shiv Sena on Thursday said Vajubhai Vala should have called 'those with maximum seats' first.

The BJP emerged as the single largest party by winning 104 seats in the Karnataka assembly elections, but the Congress, with 78 seats, and JD (S), with 38 seats, cobbled up an alliance and staked a claim to form a government as they have support of a total of 118 MLAs, including 2 independents.

"BS Yeddyurappa has taken the oath but it's difficult to prove majority. Governor should have called those who had maximum numbers. When this happens people say, loktantra ki hatya ho gayi, lekin jab desh mein loktantra bacha hi nahi hai toh hatya kiski hogi," Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut told ANI.

The political temparatures are soaring high in Bengaluru after Karnataka assembly elections result. The Congress and the JD (S) were left fuming after Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala on Wednesday evening allowed the BJP, which emerged as the single largest party in assembly elections, to form the government and prove majority on the floor of the House within 15 days. The Congress had approached the Supreme Court and contended that the Governor's decision to call BJP for government formation first was unconstitutional. The Congress had sought court's intervention in the matter and demanded a stay on swearing in.

The apex court, however, refused to stay the swearing in of Yeddyurappa. Subsequently, Yeddyurappa took oath as the 23rd Chief Minister of Karnataka this morning (May 17).

The court said that the the outcome of the swearing in would be subject to the outcome of the petition filed by the Congress and JD(S). When Abhishek Manu Singvi pleaded that the swearing in be stayed, the court refused to do so. His plea to schedule the floor test in the Karnataka legislative assembly for Friday was also rejected.Social coalition by the Congress benefited BJP in Karnataka

oi-Vicky Nanjappa

In the recently concluded Karnataka assembly elections, the BJP emerged as the single largest party and the Congress and JD(S) ended up second and third respectively. The BJP fell short by 8 seats to touch the majority mark in the 222 member House.

At the start of the campaign the Congress appeared as though it would sail through. However the party ended up with 78 seats and in yesterday's meeting many of its senior leaders blamed Siddaramaiah for the defeat.

Dr. Sandeep Shastri, leading political scientist tells OneIndia that the main factor that prevented the BJP from getting a majority was its poor performance in Bengaluru.

In the case of the Congress several of its critical agendas had failed, he says. This whole focus on local issues failed to get any traction for the Congress, Dr. Shastri also adds.

The Lingayat issue that the Congress drummed up ahead of the elections too failed badly.

This could be seen in the fact that the Lingayats backed the BJP heavily, he also says. Moreover, most of the ministers who pioneered the Lingayat issues for the Congress also ended up losing the elections.

Coming to the AHINDA agenda, it did not hold strongly for the Congress. The non-Kurubas and the OBCs moved towards the BJP. The left Dalits too have been unhappy with Siddaramaiah over the non-implementation of a proposal that recommended internal reservation for them. Overall the social coalition that the Congress tried to create backfired and ended up benefiting the BJP.

For the BJP the developments in the last week of the campaign worked. The campaign by Prime Minister in the last days touched a chord with the people, Dr Shastri says. The organisational strategy of the BJP managed to get their supporters to the polling booth and this worked largely for the party.

However I feel that in the end Bengaluru let the BJP down. The middle and upper caste did not come out and vote. Considering that polling was on a Saturday, many of them had left for vacations on Friday and this brought the numbers down, Dr Shastri adds.

By Oneindia Staff

New Delhi, May 17: Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, long ago propagated the virtue of cleanliness among Indians. Come 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched his pet project, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission), to encourage us to have clean and green surrounding.

The nationwide drive did bring a substantial amount of change (although a lot has to be done) on the ground, thanks to volunteers who took it upon themselves to keep the country spick and span.

On Wednesday, a government survey ranked cities across the country in terms of cleanliness. As per the Swachh Survekshan 2018, Indore in Madhya Pradesh is the cleanest city in the country. Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh, came a close second in the survey.

Expressing happiness over topping the survey chart, Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, "I am extremely happy. Drawing inspiration from the PM we are running Swachh Bharat Abhiyan across the state. I congratulate and thank all residents. It is due to their efforts. We will continue our efforts to maintain it."

The survey adds that Jharkhand is the "best-performing state in terms of cleanliness". Maharashtra stood at the second place behind Jharkhand in the Swachh Survekshan 2018, while Chhattisgarh was at the third position in the category of "best-performing states". The survey was released by Union housing and urban affairs minister Hardeep Singh Puri in the national capital.

Looking at the way citizens of big winning cities had turned Swachhata into a Jan Andolan, I am not surprised at the results. Congratulations #Indore & #Bhopal for a repeat performance at #1&2. Well done #Chandigarh for coming in 3rd.

Others will surely try & catch up next year. pic.twitter.com/M8PMQRn1QI  Hardeep Singh Puri (@HardeepSPuri) May 16, 2018

Last year also, Indore and Bhopal topped the chart by figuring in the first and the second position among the cleanest cities in the country. This year, the survey has covered 4,203 cities, while in 2017 only 434 cities were surveyed. State ranking was introduced in this year's survey, which was conducted between January 4 and March 10.

If you are wondering which are the "worst-performing cities", in terms of cleanliness, then you have to wait for a while. The names of the "worst-performing cities" in the latest survey would be announced on the day the awards are presented to the winners, Puri added.Terrorists kill a 23-year-boy on the first day of ceasefire; terrorist regrouping unlikely

New Delhi: The worst fear of the unilateral ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir has proved to be true when terrorists struck in Jammu and Kashmir on the very first day of Ramzan killing a 23-year boy. This comes within hours of the Union Home ministry announcing a unilateral ceasefire. The purpose of the ceasefire appears to shackle Armed forces but give a free hand to terrorists.

Within hours of ceasefire, a 23-year-old man was abducted by terrorists and his throat was slip open to death. No bullet mark was found on his body. The deceased was preparing for sub-inspector's examination. Sources said that the decision of ceasefire was a political one but Army had already expressed it concerns which were addressed by the government. Moreover, this decision is not going to impact the Army much which remains on guard continuously.

The order says, "The Centre asks security forces not to launch operations in Jammu and Kashmir during the holy month of Ramzan. Decision taken to help the peace loving Muslims observe Ramzan in a peaceful environment. Security forces to reserve the right to retaliate if attacked or if essential to protect the lives of innocent people. The government expects everyone to cooperate in this initiative and help the Muslim brothers and sisters to observe Ramzan peacefully and without any difficulties."

The Army sources said that, "in case the Army is attacked by terrorists, it has the right to retaliate. Our convoys will keep moving and we will have to do ROP (road opening parties) and area sanitization exercises. However, SADO (search and destroy operation) and CASO (cordon and search operation) will be stopped."

Army sources said that it is not bothered about ceasefire during the month of Ramzan as it is just one months time so it is very difficult for them to regroup in such a small spell as most of the terrorist leadership is neutralized by the Army be it Laskar e Toiba or Jaish e Mohammad. There are four-five terrorist Hijbul Mujahidin still left but Army will be able to deal with them if they dare to attack.

The move has caught security forces and defence experts off guard. Union home minister Rajnath Singh communicated the decision to Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, the ministry said it was being done to ensure that Ramzan could safely be observed by the people of the state.

"The government wants that during the ensuing month of Ramzan, no section of society and in particular, the Muslim community should face any difficulty. The government has been trying to create an environment free of terror and violence to enable the Muslim brothers to observe Ramzan in a peaceful manner and in conducive environment so that terrorists do not exploit their religious sentiments," the home ministry said.

While the order will hold good till 16 June, a central government official familiar with the development said, on condition of anonymity, that "militant groups in Kashmir don't have stable leadership and one month is too short a time for them to regroup."

Irked by the Karnataka Governor's decision to allow the BJP to majority first, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that the RSS is trying to control all the 'institutions in the country', adding, "This happens in Pakistan".

Gandhi, who is Chhattisgarh's capital Raipur, vented his ire at the political situation in Karnataka and said "constitution is being attacked".

"RSS is making way into all institutions in the country. Aisa Pakistan ya tanashahi mein hota hai," Gandhi said in Raipur

"In Karnataka on one side there are MLAs standing and on the other side the Governor. JDS has said its MLAs have been offered Rs 100 crore each," he added.

Gandhi is set to hold bike rally and roadshow in Chhattisgarh today. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh had earlier this month welcomed Gandhi to hold a roadshow and said, "He can take out bike rally anywhere he likes in the state, the roads of the state is very good. It is not like the roads of Amethi, where he cannot take out bike rallies."

Out of power in Chhattisgarh since 2003, the Congress is struggling to dethrone the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and three-term chief minister Raman Singh. In 2016, the Congress suffered a major setback after its senior leader and former chief minister Ajit Singh quit the party to form a new political outfit, Janata Congress Chhattisgarh.

Amit Shah the president of the BJP wanted to leave nothing to chance. A win in Karnataka was extremely important as the party considers it as a gateway to the South. The campaign which was led by B S Yeddyurappa in Karnataka who is set to take oath of the chief minister was backed by Amit Shah to the hilt.

During the hectic campaign he addressed 59 public meetings in the 28 districts of the state. In the 34 days that he spent in Karnataka, he travelled 57,135 kilometres. He even visited several mutts to consolidate the vote base of the party.

The party was slightly down after the two by-poll defeats in Uttar Pradesh. Lifting the morale of the party was crucial for the BJP and Shah oversaw that entire process. Shah first took control of the campaign in the first week of April. He advised party workers to work at the booth-levels as it was this engineering that would win the elections, he said.

He oversaw almost everything which included the finalisation of the manifesto. The BJP released a main manifesto and 224 others for each constituency.TMC sweeps West Bengal Panchayat polls, BJP distant second

Newest First Oldest First The ruling Trinamool Congress on Thursday headed for a comfortable win in West Bengal's rural polls, bagging 19,394 seats in gram panchayats.

This shows how strong we are at the grassroot level, says West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee Of 621 Zilla Parishad seats, TMC has won 351, while BJP is leading in 9. The Left and Congress are leading in 2 and 4 seats respectively. Meanwhile, out of the 6,123 panchayat samiti seats that went to polls, TMC has won 2,543 seats and BJP just 162.

The BJP has not only dethroned the Left from second spot but has also been able to build a solid vote bank for itself.

A timeline of his rise politics

B S Yeddyurappa will take oath as the 23rd Chief Minister of Karnataka. Incidentally he is taking oath as the CM for the third time. In 2007, he was sworn as the CM, but the government lasted only 7 days as the JD(S) refused to transfer power.

In 2008 Yeddyurappa was sown in as CM and ran the government for 3 years and 62 days before the Lokayukta report on illegal mining came out and he was forced to resign.

Bookanakere Siddalingappa Yeddyurappa was born on February 27 1943 at Bookanakere in K.R.Pet taluk of Mandya district.

His parents were Siddalingappa and Puttathayamma. He was named after the presiding deity of a Shaivite temple built by the saint Siddalingeshwara at Yediyur in Tumkuru district.

His mother died when he was four. He completed his Pre-University College education from PES college, Mandya. In 1965, he was appointed as a first-division clerk in the social welfare department but he quit the job and moved to Shikaripura where he joined as a clerk at Veerabhadra Shastri's Shankar rice mill.

In 1967, Yeddyurappa married Mythradevi, the daughter of the rice mill owner. He later set up a hardware shop in Shivamogga. Yeddyurappa has two sons, Raghavendra and Vijayendra and three daughters, Arunadevi, Padmavati and Umadevi.

In 2004, his wife died after falling into a sump while drawing water.

Yeddyurappa was associated with the RSS since his college days. He was appointed as Karyavaha (Secretary) of the Sangh's Shikaripur unit in 1970. In 1972, he was elected to the Shikaripura Town Municipality and was also appointed as the President of the Taluk unit of the Jana Sangh.

In 1975, he was elected President of the Town Municipality of Shikaripura. He was imprisoned during the Emergency in India and lodged in the Bellary and Shimoga jails. In 1980, he was appointed President of the Shikaripura taluk unit of the BJP and later went on to become the president of BJP's Shimoga district unit in 1985. In 1988, he became the State President of the BJP in Karnataka.

He was first elected to the lower house of the Karnataka Legislature in 1983 and has since represented the Shikaripura constituency six times. He has been a member of the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth and Thirteenth Legislative Assemblies (lower house) of Karnataka. Following the 1994 state assembly elections, he became the Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly.

In 1999, he lost the elections but was nominated by the BJP to become a member of the legislative council (upper house) of Karnataka. He was re-elected in 2004 and became the Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly during the chief ministership of Dharam Singh.

His first stint in power when he helped was Janata Dal (Secular) leader H. D. Kumaraswamy to bring down the coalition government headed by Dharam Singh and form an alternative government with BJP. An agreement was made between the JD(S) and BJP, which specified that H. D. Kumaraswamy would be the Chief Minister for the first 20 months, after which Yeddyurappa would become the Chief Minister for the remaining 20 months. Yeddyurappa became the Deputy Chief Minister as well as the finance minister in Kumaraswamy's Government.

In October 2007, when it was Yeddyurappa's turn to become Chief Minister, Kumaraswamy refused to relinquish his post. This forced Yeddyurappa and all the ministers from his party to resign and on 5 October, the BJP formally withdrew the support to the Kumaraswamy government.

In Karnataka's 2008 Assembly elections, Yeddyurappa contested from Shikaripura against former Chief Minister S. Bangarappa of the Samajwadi Party. The Indian National Congress and JD(S) backed Bangarappa, but despite this, Yeddyurappa won the seat by a margin of more than 45,000 votes.

He also led the BJP to a historic victory and took oath of office as Chief Minister on 30 May 2008.

However, the Karnataka Lokayukta investigating the illegal mining case submitted its report indicting Yeddyurappa for illegally profiteering from land deals in Bangalore and Shimoga and also in connection with the illegal iron ore export scam in Bellary, Tumkur and Chitradurga districts of Karnataka. Following much pressure from the BJP central leadership he quit as CM.

He resigned from his position as Member of Legislative Assembly and primary membership of Bharatiya Janata Party on 30 November 2012, and formally launched the Karnataka Janata Paksha.

In November 2013, it was announced that he was considering an unconditional return to the BJP. On 2 January 2014 he announced merger with BJP ahead of 2014 Lok Sabha elections. He won from the Shimoga seat of Karnataka in the Indian general election, 2014 by a margin of 363,305 votes.

In 2011 he was jailed for corruption. The Karnataka High-court in 2015 set aside this order, thereby quashing the cases against him. After the high court quashed former governor H R Bhardwaj's sanction to prosecute BS Yeddyurappa, a special Lokayukta court struck down four other FIRs against him. The Karnataka High Court had set aside the sanction given by then Governor HR Bhardwaj for his prosecution in several cases of alleged illegal de-notification of land, and asked the Governor to look into it.Why Kumaraswamy joined hands with Congress and not BJP

India

oi-Maitreyee

Bengaluru, May 17: The "cliffhanger" Karnataka Assembly election 2018, which has thrown more surprises and googlies than any Bollywood suspense thriller in the recent times, has brought to the forefront one interesting politician--Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)) leader HD Kumaraswamy, once again.

The state president of the regional party--which is fighting a do-or-die battle in the Karnataka elections--the results of which were declared on Tuesday, has been projected as the next chief minister of the southern state by the Congress-JD(S) alliance.

Well, the prospect of the former CM of Karnataka to grace the coveted chair once again looks unlikely now as the Supreme Court on early Thursday morning has given a go ahead to the swearing-in ceremony of BS Yeddyurappa, the chief ministerial candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Still, we can't rule out Kumaranna (as he is popularly known among his supporters and well-wishers) becoming the next CM till Yeddyurappa proves his majority on the floor of the house. Although Yeddyurappa will be taking oath as the new CM of Karnataka on Thursday morning, the BJP is still short of majority with just 104 seats.

In the 224-member Karnataka Assembly, a party or an alliance needs at least 113 seats to form the government. The Congress and the JD(S) alliance--which was quickly stitched after the results were declared--has 116 MLAs with it.

Instead of giving the alliance a chance to form the government, Karnataka governor Vajubhai Vala asked Yeddyurappa to take oath and prove his government's majority within 15 days. The Congress-JD(S) alliance, which is trying its best to stop the BJP from forming the government in Karnataka, approached the Supreme Court on Wednesday midnight to stop Yeddyurappa's swearing-in. But the apex court declined to interfere with the decision of the governor.

As the chances of JD(S) now look bleak to control the reins of the southern state, an immediate question that everyone is asking as why Kumaraswamy instead of aligning with the BJP went ahead with the Congress. An alliance with the BJP in any case is more profitable for the JD(S). The deal between the JD(S) and the BJP would have seen Kumaraswamy becoming the deputy CM of the state and a few coveted ministerial berths for his party men. But he decided otherwise.

While it is clear that the "anti-BJP" forces goaded the Congress to tie-up with the JD(S) after the grand old party's disastrous performance in the elections, Kumaraswamy actually did not want to "hurt" his father and JD(S) patriarch HD Deve Gowda by joining hands with the BJP.

According to a report by The Indian Express, the JD(S) did not ally with the BJP to form a government in Karnataka because Kumaraswamy would not like to "hurt" his father (former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda) like he had in 2006 by joining hands with the saffron party.

The same report by the English daily added that Kumaraswamy admitted that the BJP had reached out to him through some channels to form an alliance with the saffron party instead of the Congress.

"He has now got an opportunity to wash off the taint that came against him in the past on account of my actions. I have only violated my father's instructions once in my life. Due to my decision then, national leaders started questioning the secular credentials of my father," Kumaraswamy said. He added that his decision pained Deve Gowda and had affected his health too.

So, we see it is father and not political compulsions that guided Kumaraswamy's decision to join hands with the Congress. The JD(S)' deal with the Congress might not result in anything in Karnataka, but one thing is for sure, the anti-BJP forces are coming together ahead of the 2109 General Elections.Will waive farm loans, ready to face House soon says B S Yeddyurappa

oi-Vicky Nanjappa

B S Yeddyurappa, the Chief Minister of Karnataka has said that the farm loans as promised by him would be waived off. Addressing the media following a Cabinet meeting, he said that he had directed the chief secretary to look into the issue and give him details about the same.

I had assured the farmer that we would waive off their loans. This decision would be finalised by tomorrow morning, Yeddyurappa also said. I will deliver on that promise, he also assured.

On the trust vote, he said that he was fully confident. I wish to ask the MLAs to ask their inner voices as to who the mandate in Karnataka was for. I am sure they will chose wisely he also said.

I thank the 6 crore voters of Karnataka. They have installed a people's government. I regret that the Congress and JD(S) have formed an unholy alliance after the elections although they have been rejected by the people. I seek the support of all the legislators. However the matter is before the Supreme Court and I don't want to discuss this issue. I will win the trust vote and rule for five years. I will not wait for 15 days, I may convene session sooner, Yeddyurappa also said.

On the Cabinet expansion, he said that there was no date fixed as yet. He said that that the new Cabinet would be sworn in at a grand ceremony. There will be four lakh people and it would take place in the presence of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah.

After Assad, Trump uses animals to define migrants

US President Donald Trump came up the "animal" adjective once again on Wednesday, May 16, to describe people he hates - the migrants.

Speaking to Republicans from California who visited him to discuss the state's sanctuary law, Trump said the US was taking people out of its border and called some of them as "animals" who were "bad".

Strong border is a topic that is close to the heart of the US president who wants to isolate the US from the outer world to make it pure and great,

Trump said people were entering the US or trying to enter but the administration was pushing them out because they were as bad as animals.

Trump's words came after he spoke on migration and law enforcement, the "sanctuary cities" for immigrants and the MS-13 gang which had its origin in the US but with roots in Central American country of El Salvador. Trump called them "vicious" and "killers".

The Democrats lashed out at Trump for uttering the word "animals" to define migrants. Colorado Congressman Jared Polis said immigrants are human beings and not animals, criminals, drug dealers or rapists, AFP reported.

California's Democratic Governor Jerry Brown also took on Trump saying he was lying on immigration, crime and laws of the state, AFP added.

Second time Trump uses "animal"

Trump had used the term "animal" in a tweet in early April against Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad after the latter allegedly used chemical weapons against his own people in a bid to demolish the last remaining bastions of the rebels in Douma.

The US, along with France and the UK, launched missile strikes on Syria's chemical facilities a week after the alleged gas attack that killed many.

Facing pressure at home & abroad, UK govt to come up with Brexit dossier

International

By Shubham

The British government on Wednesday, May 16, said a detailed Brexit strategy dossier will be made public in the coming weeks amid chaos over charges that divisions in the cabinet were creating roadblocks with the European Union (EU) with which the UK is seeking a divorce.

The Brexit is officially set to happen on March 29 next year.

Brexit Secretary David Davis said the so-called White Paper would include "detailed, ambitious and precise explanations" of the British government's position ahead of the formal withdrawal.

"It will communicate our ambition for the U.K.'s future relationship with the EU, in the context of our vision for the U.K.'s future role in the world," reports quoted him as saying. The paper, which reportedly will run to about 100 pages, will be revealed ahead of the EU summit scheduled in June end.

The Theresa May government of Britain, which is dealing with all kinds of troubles over the Brexit negotiations, is yet to settle the question on the UK's post-Brexit trade ties.

According to an AFP-JIJI report in Japan Times, May is trying to find a balance between protecting jobs and trade ties with the bloc and setting in place a fresh independent foreign policy.

The report added that EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier said this week that "no significant progress" happened since the EU leaders' last meeting in March end and cautioned that key issues must be resolved before the June summit.

May was also facing pressure from the Opposition over the matter. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn recently remarked in the House of Commons that the government was so busy negotiating with itself that it could not negotiate with anybody else. He reportedly told May that if she failed to take a decision on how to go forward, he would take over.

Corbyn said Brexit happened 23 months ago (June 2016) and with just 10 more months to go before it formally takes shape, the government is still in a "disarray".

May said three of her objectives - to forge an independent trade policy; a frictionless trade with the EU and avoid disruption between Ireland and Northern Ireland - were not easy to achieve but maintained that only her government will fulfil the expectations of the pro-leave voters of the 2016 referendum.

Her government was also struggling to arrive at a consensus on the government's options for future customs arrangements, the Japan Times report added.

Story first published: Thursday, May 17, 2018, 12:48 [IST]Jerusalem: Japan newspaper calls Trumps move short-sighted and dangerous

International

oi-Shubham

By Shubham

Although hardliners in the US and Israel, one of its closest allies in West Asia, celebrated the recent shifting of the US embassy to Jerusalem which US President Donald Trump also acknowledged as the capital of the Jewish state last December, not all are sure about this controversial step.

Voices in Japan, another of the US's close ally, are concerned. In a recent editorial published in the Japan Times, it was said giving shape to Trump's long-promises move would make peace harder to achieve and "embolden hardliners on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian divide", contrary to what Trump believed.

"Of all the issues that divide Israelis and Palestinians, none cuts as deep as the status of Jerusalem. Both Israelis and Palestinians claim it as their capital. Since its final disposition will be an essential component of a peace agreement, virtually every other government has located its embassy in Tel Aviv," the editorial said.

"In 1995, the U.S. Congress passed a resolution stating that "Jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of the State of Israel," and U.S. presidents have for many years pledged to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Once in office, however, all hesitated after recognizing the problems such a move would create."

While some rejoiced Trump's "bold" move, the Gaza border saw ruthless butchering of Palestinian protesters who had been holding a month-and-half-long protest since March 30 culminating on May 15, called the 'Nakba' (catastrophe) Day which is observed a day after Israel's independence received on May 14, 1948.

At least 60 people, including an infant, were killed while almost 2,700 people were injured as the Israeli forces made armed retaliation against the Palestinian protesters. According to the UN's estimate, over 110 lives have been lost in the violence in the past one-and-half-months, the editorial mentioned.

The editorial also expressed disbelief over the words of US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley who did not agree that shifting of the embassy was related to violence and countered that the decision reflected the "reality" and acknowledging it "made real peace more achievable".

"The U.S. move was generally recognized as an invaluable concession to Israel, one that would be withheld until leverage was needed to nudge that government toward a difficult decision on a final settlement. To do it now deprives the U.S. of that influence," the piece said, adding that there was also no evidence that the Trump administration was ready with a plan to advance the crucial peace process despite the president pledging to "give it a shot" during his campaign for the 2016 presidential election.

'Those asked to deal with the problem have little grip on it'

It said the individuals that Trump assigned the task to handle the peace process, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner, had no experience of dealing with a complicated negotiation process like that between Israel and Palestine.

"It should come as no surprise, then, that the Palestinians believe that Washington has forfeited its position as a neutral arbiter, one that could facilitate a solution that they could accept. Their situation is growing increasingly desperate - more than two-thirds of the nearly 2 million people in Gaza are younger than 25, are descendants of refugees and face an unemployment rate of 44 percent - and protests are the only option," it said.

The editorial also said that the Trump administration was trying to project that other regional backers of the Palestinians were busy with other issues, especially Iran. The growing divide between Iran and other big powers in the region like Saudi Arabia and others has also dented the Arab unity and making it easier for the Israeli hawks.

Japan not to follow Trump

The Japan Times editorial also made a reference to Tokyo, which although is a far-off player from the Israel-Palestine conflict, but yet has a role. It said Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who held a summit with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas a few weeks ago, acknowledged that Japan would not ape the US by moving its embassy too to Jerusalem. He also urged Abbas to make negotiations with the Israelis.

Japan grants aid to Palestine

Highlighting Japan's role in the region, the Japan Times editorial said Tokyo has given $1.86 billion as aid to the Palestinians, is ready to give another $10 million and even more if required. It said Japan was in favour of a moral support to the Palestinians and international law universally.

"There is little chance that Japan's position will sway the U.S. president, but that is no reason for us to back a policy that is short-sighted and dangerous," it concluded.

Recently, a meeting between Abe and his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem generated negative vibes after the former was treated with a dessert served in a metal shoes, leaving the Japanese side offended. A livid Japanese diplomat called it to be a "diplomatic mockery" while a senior Israeli diplomat who had served in Japan in the past even called it "dumb and insensitive decision".Moving embassy to Jerusalem: After US, Guatemala does the same; Paraguay next

By Shubham

After the US shifted its embassy to Jerusalem on Monday, May 14, another North American state Guatemala also did the same on Wednesday, May 16, heightening the danger of more diplomatic and other forms of tussle between Israel and Palestine in West Asia.

At least 60 people on the Palestinian side have already been killed, including an infant, while nearly 3,000 people were injured after the Israeli forces resorted to an armed retaliation against Palestinian protesters. The demonstrators have been protesting at the border for over a month now, starting March 30 or Land Day and culminating on Nakba (catastrophe) Day on May 15, a day after Israel's independence day. According to the UN, 112 people have been killed in the last six weeks.

The blood bath continued on Monday even when dignitaries were celebrating the opening of the embassy in Jerusalem - a decision which is being seen as dangerous by the international community.

That, however, did not deter Guatemala, a small central American country. Its president Jimmy Morales along with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu took part in the embassy's opening in an office complex in West Jerusalem.

"It's not a coincidence that Guatemala is opening its embassy in Jerusalem right among the first. You were always among the first. You were the second country to recognise Israel," reports quoted Netanyahu as saying on the occasion, lauding the Guatemalan prime minister.

Morales also said that Guatemala, Israel and the US shared "friendship, courage and loyalty".

Morales said his country, Israel and the United States "share friendship, courage and loyalty".

The story does not end with Guatemala, either. Paraguay, a Latin American country, said it was ready to move its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by the end of May as well.

Romania, the Czech Republic and Honduras would also follow suit, said reports.

Palestinian negotiators slammed the Guatemalan government's move saying it chose to stand "on the wrong side of history" and took "hostile step against the Palestinian people and the Arab world".

By Shubham

In the wake of North Korea's strong message by scuttling official-level talks with South Korea and threatening to cancel the June 12 summit between its Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, May 16, the American president said it was not clear whether his meeting with Kim scheduled in Singapore would still be held.

Trump told the media at the Oval Office that his administration would see what eventually happens. "We haven't seen anything, we haven't heard anything. We will see what happens," reports quoted him as saying.

Trump, who met his Uzbekistani counterpart Shavkat Mirziyoyev at the White House during the day, said he would continue to focus on the denuclearisation of North Korea.

North Korea said in a statement hours after cancelling the talks with South Korea early on Wednesday that it had little interest in a "one-sided" affair meant to force it to give up its nuclear weapons. Pyongyang took the strong step as a protest against the continuation of US-led drills with South Korea in the Korean Peninsula. South Korea, however, said that the drills would continue as per schedule as they were just related to aviation skills and not something about an invasion. Japan also backed the drills saying such exercises were necessary to maintain a deterrence in the region.

It was though not clear whether North Korea indeed wanted to reverse the peace process or just wanted to show Trump and his team that it would appear at the June 12 summit from a position of strength.

Meanwhile, White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News that Washington was "still hopeful" that the Trump-Kim talks would go as per the plan and that the threats from Pyongyang to cancel the meeting was something that did not surprise them.

China, North Korea's closest ally in the region, also hoped that the Trump-Kim meeting wasn't derailed.

Perhaps it is just hard-wired into the minds of the human species to make it a practice of overstating our case or perhaps it is something we just learn as a strategy for impressing or persuading others. Whatever the reason, we all are guilty of it from time to time and we all should be wary of it in evaluating what others say. But too often we are apt to ignore that cautionary advice.

An article I read recently claimed that by virtue of Arrow's theorem we know that all voting methods are defective. Now while I have little doubt that every possible voting method would be defective in the opinion of someone, that is not exactly what Arrow's theorem says. Arrow's theorem actually shows that ranked voting systems are defective in a particular, well-defined way. A ranked voting system (in the sense of Arrow's theorem) is one in which each voter is asked to vote by specifying a ranking of all of the candidates in order of preference. But that is a very special kind of voting system and Arrow's theorem says nothing whatever about many other voting systems.

A suspicious mind might wonder whether this overly broad conclusion is an accident or whether it is purposely drawn by ranked voting advocates so as to suggest that we simply must be satisfied with a demonstrably defective voting system. Such a person would actually prefer that rather dismal conclusion to the alternative and more natural realization that we might best turn to something other than a ranked voting system. Fortunately there are many good alternatives to ranked voting systems.

There is an understandable attraction to ranked voting that derives from a mistaken impression that by ranking the candidates a voter's opinions can fully, accurately and completely expressed. This fallacy was addressed in the earliest of these articles concerning ranked voting. The fact that the ranking may overstate the feelings of a voter (who is forced to invent preferences in ranking where none exist) seems just to be ignored; we are just so accustomed to overstatement and tend to dismiss it as being normal and harmless but it does disguise that the voter is in some instances indifferent, something that needs to be reflected in any complete and accurate measure of voter preference. But even that is not the end of the story.

Actual implementations of ranked voting generally relax its definition to only require a voter to specify a ranking of just a few of the candidates; this is no longer a ranked voting system. So even in the relaxed real-world version of ranked voting, the conclusion of Arrow's theorem possibly might not be justified. Nonetheless, Arrow's theorem does suggest that if we want a voting system without serious defects, we would best be advised to look elsewhere than to ranked voting systems. But despite this evidence from Arrow's theorem, there remains strong support for the particular form of ranked voting called Instant-Runoff Voting (IRV), so the topic needs further attention. Is the real-world version of IRV defective? An example could show it to be.

Here we have seen three instances of overstatement -- in the interpretation of Arrow's theorem as applying to all voting systems (not just ranked ones), in the actual overstatement of preferences by the voters, and finally in applying Arrow's theorem to voting systems that allow voters not to rank all of the candidates. In everyday parlance we may be accustomed to overstatement, but here we are applying a mathematical theorem where precise adherence to details in definitions and assumptions is critically important in this arena. In mathematics, it is often the case that seemingly minor changes to a definition or to assumptions can lead to very different conclusions.

The subject of this series of articles is balanced voting, and since none of the balanced systems are ranked this is the first time that it has seemed appropriate to even mention Arrow's theorem. Still, due to the great popularity of IRV, that particular ranked system has been discussed in several of the articles. One reason I wrote this article was to have an opportunity to make available a brief survey of these articles for someone who might be primarily interested in IRV.

In an early article and again in a more recent one, we addressed difficulties with the very rational behind the invention of IRV. And in yet another article we provided a concrete example to clearly illustrate a serious defect in an IRV election. These articles should make it clear that IRV falls well short of being the perfect answer to better elections.

Finally turning to a slightly different topic, I should take this opportunity to make it clear that Instant-Runoff Balanced Voting (IRBV) is a balanced voting system and not a ranked system. At first glance, IRBV may seem like a ranked voting system, but like other balanced systems, it is not actually a ranked system and so Arrow's theorem does not say anything about IRBV. However, IRBV is modeled on IRV and it shares much the same appeal as IRV though it lacks many of its deficiencies. However, as with IRV, our tradition of counting the votes in a distributed manner rather than at a single central place is very problematic if not completely impossible. More insight into the relationship between IRBV and IRV is developed in one of the later articles.Would you like to know how many people have read this article? Or how reputable the author is?

From No More Fake News

Imagine a Congressional hearing held before media cameras, with reporters all over the US and Europe ready with shocking articles about one of the leading causes of death --

SENATOR: Sir, I have the numbers in front of me. How can you keep this secret from the public?

FDA COMMISSIONER: It's not a secret, sir. Many experts know about it.

SENATOR: I'm looking through the trillion-dollar federal budget. I'm looking for the money allocated to fix this horrible situation. Where are those funds?

FDA COMMISSIONER: Nowhere.

I know major media won't investigate medically-caused death numbers, because I've published reports for years, and I've contacted news people with the facts; and nothing happens.

So we begin with a few citations.

July 26, 2000, Journal of the American Medical Association; author, Dr. Barbara Starfield, revered public health expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health; "Is US health really the best in the world?"

Starfield reported that the US medical system kills 225,000 Americans a year. 106,000 as a result of FDA-approved medical drugs, and 119,000 as a result of mistreatment and errors in hospitals. Extrapolate the numbers to a decade: that's 2.25 million deaths. You might want to read that last number again.

I interviewed Starfield in 2009. I asked her whether she was aware of any overall effort by the US government to eliminate this holocaust, and whether she had ever been contacted by any government agency to consult on such an effort. She answered a resounding no to both questions.

Here is another citation: "Anticoagulants cause the most serious adverse events, finds US analysis," BMJ June 7, 2012 (BMJ 2012:344:e3989). Author, Jeanne Lenzer. Lenzer refers to a report by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices: "It [the Institute] calculated that in 2011 prescription drugs were associated with two to four million people in the US experiencing 'serious, disabling, or fatal injuries, including 128,000 deaths.'"

The report called this "one of the most significant perils to humans resulting from human activity."

The report was compiled by outside researchers who went into the FDA's own database of "serious adverse [medical-drug] events."

Therefore, to say the FDA isn't aware of this finding would be absurd. The FDA knows. The FDA knows and it isn't saying anything about it, because the FDA certifies, as safe and effective, all the medical drugs that are routinely maiming and killing Americans.

This spring's mass nonviolent protests in Gaza come as the human rights conditions in the "open-air prison" have even further deteriorated. Last year, the United Nations issued a report warning Gaza is already "unlivable." The majority of its water is contaminated, and electricity is limited to only a few hours a day. About half the population is children. Almost all are refugees who are prevented from ever leaving the tiny Gaza Strip, one of the most densely populated places on Earth. For more, we speak with Norman Finkelstein, author and scholar whose most recent book is titled Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom.

This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.

JUAN GONZALEZ: I want to turn to State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert, speaking on Tuesday.

HEATHER NAUERT: But let's go back to something that we have covered extensively here, and let's go back to the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. We have had many Gazans who have suffered at the -- from the loss of medical care, not being able to have access to enough medical care, not having access to consistent electricity, food, jobs and many other things, as well. The misery that is faced by people in Gaza is because of a result of Hamas. That is something that we come back to. People want to blame Israel for all of this that is going on over the past few weeks. Let's take a look at the dire situation that people in Gaza are facing, and that is a result of Hamas's governing.

JUAN GONZALEZ: That was the State Department spokesperson. Norm, this whole -- people forget that the blockade, how the -- the origins of the existing blockade around Gaza as a result of Israel's reaction to a democratic election that occurred in the Palestinian territories. Could you refresh the viewers' minds about this? And who is responsible for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza?

NORMAN FINKELSTEIN: OK. First of all, as Amira Hass, the respected journalist from Haaretz, pointed out today in the newspaper, the blockade of Gaza, in its milder form, but still severe form, it goes back 27 years. It started in 1991 during the first intifada. The blockade was then significantly, qualitatively intensified after the Hamas won the parliamentary elections -- what Jimmy Carter, who was an observer, called a completely and honest -- completely honest and fair elections, in January 2006. The immediate reaction of Israel, followed by the United States and then the EU, was to impose this brutal blockade on Gaza, which at a certain point even blockaded, prohibited chips, potato chips, baby chicks, chocolate from entering Gaza. And then, after Hamas preempted a coup, orchestrated by the United States, Israel and elements of the Palestinian Authority in 2007, Israel ratcheted up the blockade of Gaza.

Now, who is responsible for the current crisis in Gaza? First of all, we have to be clear about -- OK, let me start with who's responsible. As you are no doubt aware, there's been a -- there's a proliferation of reports, from the World Bank, from various U.N. agencies, UNCTAD, the IMF. They put out report after report after report after report. And there's a complete -- there's a consensus. There's a consensus that the proximate cause of the horror in Gaza, the proximate cause, is the Israeli blockade. It's not Hamas. There might be some Hamas responsibility, but it's so marginal, so minimal, as compared to that blockade.

Now, we have to be clear, and I don't want to get too dramatic about it, too emotive about it, but we have to be clear about that blockade. Number one, it's a flagrant violation of international law, because it constitutes a form of collective punishment. Number two, since 2012, the United Nations -- and these are very staid, conservative bureaucrats, who don't use -- they don't use poetic language. They start, in 2012, by saying -- issuing a report in the interrogative: Will Gaza be livable in 2020? In 2015, UNCTAD issued a report. It then used the declarative. It said, on its present trajectory, Gaza will be unlivable in 2020. Now, bear in mind, literally unlivable. These are U.N. reports by professional economists. By 2017, the U.N., Robert Piper, he said, "We were too optimistic. Gaza passed the unlivability threshold years ago. Gaza, as we speak, it's unlivable."

Now, what does that mean concretely? Ninety-seven percent of Gaza's drinking water is contaminated. Now, bear in mind, of the 2 million people in Gaza, 1 million or more, 51 percent, are children. One million or more are children. Sara Roy, who's the world's leading authority on Gaza's economy -- she's at the Harvard Center for Middle Eastern Studies -- in the latest edition of her standard work on Gaza's economy, she says, "Innocent people, most of them young, are slowly being poisoned by the water they drink." Now, Sara is a very respected, cautious economist, or political economist, as she calls herself. "Innocent people, most of them children, are slowly being poisoned." That's what Gaza is today.

Now, to get back to Nikki Keddie -- Haley, excuse me -- to get back to Nikki Haley, she said, "What country in the world would do anything different to protect their border?" Let's be clear: That is not a border, and that is not a border fence. Baruch Kimmerling, the sociologist in Hebrew University, the late sociologist, he said Gaza is the biggest "concentration camp" ever to exist. David Cameron, the conservative British prime minister, he said Gaza is an "open-air prison." Haaretz, the most respected of Israel's newspapers, referred to the "Palestinian ghetto." Israel's snipers are poised not on a border. They're poised on the perimeter -- call it a concentration camp, call it a ghetto, call it an open-air prison.

And the people of Gaza -- it's unusual in the world today. As the United Nations Relief and Works Agency pointed out, they said Gaza is different than all the other humanitarian crises. Why? If there is a natural disaster, like a drought, people move. If there's a human-made disaster, like Syria, people move. Gaza is the only place on Earth where the place is unlivable and the people can't move. They can't leave. They're trapped.

And then that raises, for me, what's the fundamental question. Even the human rights organizations which haven't been bad, even they refer to Israel's use of excessive force. They refer to Israel's use of disproportionate force. Implicit in that language is, Israel has the right to use proportionate force. Israel has the right to use moderate force. In fact, leaving aside the legalities and the technicalities, let's just look at the picture raw. Israel doesn't have the right to use any force. Two million people, half of whom are children, are trapped, caged in an unlivable space where they are, to quote Sara Roy, "slowly being poisoned." Unless you believe that Israel has the right to poison 1 million children, it has no right to use any force against the people of Gaza. They have the right to break free from the cage Israel has created for them.

AMY GOODMAN: So, Norm Finkelstein, as we begin to wrap up, what do you think is the solution?

Scott Pruitt

Question: Which of these scandals should result in EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt's removal from office?

A) his cushy, poorly documented, below-market rental deal on a lobbyist friend's Capitol Hill townhouse;



B) his extensive use of first-class air travel (to Europe, among other places), purportedly to avoid "vulgar" interactions with the lowly citizenry;

C) his extravagant $43,000 soundproof phone booth, seemingly inspired by the "Cone of Silence" in television's "Get Smart" series;

D) his overspending on personal security, and then lying about it;

E) his dinner at 5-star restaurant with a Roman Catholic cardinal who doesn't believe in climate change and was under investigation for child abuse; or,

F) his misuse of the Safe Drinking Water Act to give two aides massive raises, bypassing White oversight.

Answer: None of the above.

Yes, Pruitt seems to be a terrible, self-centered person, who spares no expense on himself as long as someone else foots the bill. But the real reason Scott Pruitt should be removed from office is because he is causing lasting harm to current and future generations.

Scott Pruitt abuses the public trust by using his position to serve the Koch brothers and other fossil-fuel magnates, and he is killing us and our kids in the bargain.

The Real Corruption

This is the first in a series of Trump administration profiles, each of which is based on a simple premise: While many White House officials are personally deplorable, and some may prove to be personally corrupt, the real corruption isn't who they are. It's what they do.

The policies they carry out are more cynical -- and far more destructive -- than any of their self-serving deeds and depravities.

Pruitt is an excellent case in point. The energy industry lavishly funded his campaigns for Attorney General of Oklahoma, even when he ran unopposed. The Koch brothers have been especially generous to Pruitt, and invested heavily in lobbying for Pruitt's confirmation as EPA head.

They invested well, if not ethically. Pruitt was the ideal Attorney General in his state for the fossil-fuel industry, suing the EPA 14 times for doing its job.

Pruitt's emails, which were revealed after a suit from the Center for Media and Democracy, expose his coziness and collusion with the fossil-fuel industry. He has insisted that climate change is a "hoax," despite the overwhelming scientific consensus in its favor. And he has been an enormously destructive EPA administrator, gutting rules, budgets, and staff alike.

"Norms" Aren't Normal

That's why efforts to target his personal lapses, like a recent one from Democratic senators on the Environment and Public Works Committee, will fail to move the needle politically.

For most Americans, this kind of talk about ethics is little more than static in the background of their noisy lives. If anything, it reinforces their cynicism about government, and won't change many votes.

Even if efforts to force Pruitt to step down succeed, he is likely to be replaced by an equally destructive administrator, whose defects of character are only less conspicuous.

Then What?

Then what? For too many politicians, the goal is a return to "norms" of bipartisan civility. "It's not just concerning to Democrats, it's also (troubling) to a lot of Republicans," said Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE). "And maybe sooner rather than later they'll find their voices."

But those are the norms that have made it acceptable to act against the public interest, selling our lives and our planet to the highest bidder, as long as insiders don't talk rudely or stick their fingers too deeply into the public till.

Republicans aren't likely to "find their voices" against any Trump nominee. They certainly won't "find their voices" against the Koch brothers and the exploitation of the environment, because those are policies they support.

And that's where the real corruption lies.

Robert Redford got it right in a recent op-ed. Redford lists Pruitt's many misdeeds, from his attacks on climate science to his delaying or easing of standards on everything from auto fuel standards to the discharging of mercury, lead, and arsenic into our air, land, and water.

Groups like "Boot Pruitt" get it right, too, by listing Pruitt's administrative misdeeds along with his personal corruption.

Tell 'Em Ronnie Sent You

It was inevitable that Trump's promise to "drain the swamp" of moneyed interests from politics would turn out to be a lie. He has put virtually every branch of government in the hands of the industries that want to exploit them. But that's not a Trump invention; it's a Republican habit.

Ronald Reagan appointed Anne Gorsuch to run the EPA, and her tenure there was arguably as bad as Pruitt's. Like Pruitt, she slashed the budget, clashed with career employees, cut regulations, and appointed industry insiders to oversee their friends and colleagues. (Gorsuch was the mother of Neil Gorsuch, Trump's first Supreme Court appointee.)

That's why Pruitt's opponents -- a group that should include everyone who loves the earth, or future generations -- should focus more on what he's doing, and what his party is doing.

Killing Us, Not So Softly

Here's the latest, real-life Pruitt scandal: Working with White House officials, Pruitt's aides suppressed a study showing that certain chemicals in the water supply were harmful at much lower levels than had previously been believed. These chemicals are used to make Teflon, firefighting foam, and other products.

The harms caused by the presence of these chemicals in drinking water, according to the study, are increased incidence of pregnancy problems, thyroid disease, and cancers.

An unnamed White House official said the study would be "a public relations nightmare" for the administration, a statement that is only true if the administration plans to ignore the problem. It's clear that "nothing" is exactly what this administration's environmental team, led by Scott Pruitt, intends to do.

Environmental pollution kills. It increases the frequency and severity of chronic disease, which cause s four out of five American deaths each year. Air pollution alone kills between 155,000 and 200,000 Americans per year. Even at the lower estimate, that's more than five times as many people who died on 9/11.



This may just be a semantic difference, but if Robert Redford gets anything wrong, it's when he describes Pruitt as a "one-man public-health risk to the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat."Would you like to know how many people have read this article?

Science skeptics brag about their disdain for facts and evidence. However, we accept the earth is a sphere--Kyrie Irving comments aside. The sun--a main sequence star--is 93 million miles away. It is a nuclear process that converts 700 million tons of hydrogen into 695 million tons of helium every second. Moreover, the sun has a surface temperature of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Earth is located just the right distance from the sun where it is neither too hot nor too cold. If it were closer like Mercury and Venus the oceans would boil away; if it were farther like Mars it would be too cold. Heat from the sun's core takes one million years to travel its surface, but sun rays take only eight minutes, twenty seconds from the sun to the earth. The moon, which a quarter of a million miles away, shepards the earth in its orbit around the sun, preventing it from wobbling unpredictably.

We trust scientists to give us answers to the mysteries of the cosmos. They tell us that nothing can exceed the speed of light (186,000 miles per second), except perhaps gravity and space itself. Light can travel around the earth seven times in one second. To accelerate a particle to light speed would require unimaginable amounts of energy because the faster matter moves the heavier it gets: E=MC2 matter and energy are the manifestations of the same thing.

The knowledge of the cosmos scientists share with us could not be tested or confirmed by most of us. We would have no idea how to measure the speed of light. Most of us don't know how to measure the diameter of the earth (27,000 miles), of the sun (864,938 miles), or of Betelgeuse (600 million miles); or the distance of Proxima Centauri (4.22 light years from earth); or the Milky Way, which has a diameter of 100,000 light years and contains about 400 billion stars. The Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away. We cannot prove any of these things ourselves, but we believe the people whose business it is to know.

Some Americans are embarked on a science-skepticism crusade as reflected in the attitudes of the leadership at EPA on our stewardship of the planet; and the decision to open more of pristine Alaskan acreage to drilling. Pulling out of the Paris Climate accord cements doubts about humans' influence of climate change. More offshore drilling is being allowed by the federal government with some states resisting. In addition, stripping the science-related references from government texts exemplify the consolidated effort to render scientific thinking redundant.

Overwhelmingly, climate scientists believe humans are partly responsible for global warming--the melting glacial ice caps, more frequent and violent storms, and record heat waves. Approximately, 97 percent of 10,302 scientists believe we are contributing to climate change. (See UCSUSA.) However, there are official skeptics who ignore what these studies conclude and stand ready to frustrate efforts to deal with climate issues. (See Hufflington Post.) The EPA has "adopted a 'red team/blue team' model designed to challenge climate-change assumptions that global warming is occurring and humans are the primary cause -- a view endorsed both by the vast majority of scientists and by a massive federal report the White House issued earlier this month."

The environmental disasters of Exxon Valdez and BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill aside, the government will allow "new offshore oil and gas drilling in nearly all United States coastal waters, giving energy companies access to leases off California for the first time in decades and opening more than a billion acres in the Arctic and along the Eastern Seaboard." (Ref. NYTimes.) This approach to energy self-sufficiency ignores the environmental impact, including the climatic, of drilling for oil. Renewable energy such as solar might be more environmentally friendly in the long term.

Another very questionable tactic used to turn a collective blind eye to science is the government's effort to extirpate references to science and its findings from its lexicon. This is a place--in the pages of official government documents--where the intersection of science and politics imperil science and the consumers of government information. It appears that the goal is as Vox puts it to: "Some of these changes in language are top-down, and they're meant to shake up priorities, rebrand old ideas, or obfuscate truths. But other moves are happening from the bottom up, as people working inside scientific agencies try to protect their programs from funding cuts and from their new ideological leaders." In addition, terms such as science-based and evidence-based are shunned.

Even in the soft sciences such as economics, our government fails to appreciate the global benefits of trade--but sees trade as a zero-sum game, where the U.S.A. has been disadvantaged by trade treaties such as NAFTA and the TPP. We want to renegotiate the former and pull out of the latter. Beyond that, tariff on our trade partners without distinction say between China and Canada, ignore the effects of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act (1930), and has the potential to harm the world economy by restricting trade. History has a propensity to repeat itself: Smoot-Hawley raised tariffs, signal U.S.A. isolationism, and invited retaliation from the rest of the world. Retaliation is precisely what the EU is promising in response to U.S.A. tariffs on trade.

Whether hard or soft, science based on evidence points the way to policy with domestic and global repercussions. The hard science tells us that human beings contribute to global warming. The soft science tells us that free trade is superior to restricted trade. Both impact say something about our wellbeing. Policymakers ignore them largely for political reasons. There is consensus around the superiority of free trade to protectionism--all the participants are better off. Runaway-greenhouse conditions on Earth could give us Venus. And in both cases profit-seeking is the dominant motivating force for misguided action.Would you like to know how many people have read this article? Or how reputable the author is?

From Unz Review

Pay and benefits are out of control

America's Republican politicians complain that "entitlements," by which they mean pensions and medical care, are leading the country to bankruptcy even as they fatten the spending on the Pentagon, which now takes 12 percent of the overall budget. And it should be noted that while workers contribute to the social programs during all their years of employment, the money that goes to the military comes straight out of the pockets of taxpayers before being wasted in ways that scarcely benefit the average citizen unless one seriously thinks that folks over in Syria, Iran and Afghanistan actually do threaten the survival of the United States of America.

I was in a Virginia supermarket the other day checking out when the woman behind the cash register in a perky voice asked me "Will you give $5 to support our troops?" I responded "No. Our troops already get way too much of our money." She replied, "Hee, hee that's a funny joke" and I said "It's not a joke." Her face dropped and she signaled to her boss over in customer service and asked her to take over, saying that I had been rude.

If there is any group in the United States that exceeds the sheer greed of our politicians it is the military, which believes itself to be "entitled" as a consequence of its role in the global war on terror. I am a veteran who began service in a largely draftee army in which we were paid "twenty-one dollars a day once a month" as the old World War 2 song goes. When we got out, the GI Bill gave us $175 a month to go back to college, which did not cover much.

Today's United States has 2,083,000 soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen on active duty plus reserves. Now that the military is an all-volunteer rather than a conscript force, it is understandable that pay and benefits should be close to or equivalent to civilian pay scales. Currently, a sergeant first class with 10 years in service gets paid $3,968 a month. A captain with 10 years gets $6,271. That amounts to $47,616 and $75,252 a year respectively plus healthcare, food, housing, cost of living increases and bonuses to include combat pay.

Though there are several options for retirement, generally speaking a soldier, sailor Marine or airman can retire after 20 years with half of his or her final "high three" pay as a pension, which means an 18-year-old who enlists right out of high school will be 38 and if he or she makes sergeant first class (E-7) he or she will be collecting $2,338 a month or more for a rest of his or her life adjusted for cost of living,

Many Americans would be astonished at the pensions that general officers and admirals receive, particularly since 80% of them also land in "retirement" generously remunerated positions with defense contractors either in active positions soliciting new contracts from their former peers or sitting on boards.

General David Petraeus, whom The Nation describes as the "general who lost two wars," pulls in a pension of $220,000 even though he was forced to resign as CIA Director due to passing classified information to his mistress. He is also chairman of a New York City based company KKR Global, which is part of a private equity firm Kohlberg, Kravis Roberts. He reportedly is paid in six figures plus bonuses for "oversee[ing] the institute's thought leadership platform focused on geopolitical and macro-economic trends, as well as environmental, social, and governance issues."

It apparently is difficult to take money away from general and flag officers. An Air Force four-star general named Arthur Lichte was reduced in rank to a two-star in 2017 after he was found guilty of having raped a lower ranking woman officer. His pension went down from $216,000 to $156,000 due to the reduction. Normally, however, America's 1,000 general and flag officers can look forward to comfortable retirements.

But on top of that rather generous bit of cash there are the considerable other benefits, as the old recruiting sergeants would put it, the "bennies." Military retirees can receive full tuition and expenses at a college or technical school if they choose to go back to school. This is why one sees so many ads for online universities on television -- they are trolling for soldier dollars knowing that it's free money. The retiree will also have access to heavily subsidized medical care for him or herself plus family. The medical care is a significant bonus under the Tricare system, which describes itself on its website as "the gold standard for medical coverage, [that] is government managed health insurance." A friend who is retired recently had a hip replacement operation that would have cost $39,000 for only a few hundred dollars through Tricare.

What is significant is that even enlisted military personnel can start a second career on top of their pension, given that many of them are still in their thirties. Some that have security clearances can jump into highly paid jobs with defense contractors immediately while others also find places in the bureaucracy with the Department of Homeland Security. Working for the government twice is called "double dipping."

Some would argue that military personnel deserve what they get because the jobs are by their very nature dangerous, sometimes fatal. Indeed, the number of maimed and PTSD-afflicted soldiers returning from the endless wars is a national tragedy and caring for them should be a top priority. But the truth is that only a very small fraction, by some estimates far less than 20% of Army and Marine personnel in so-called "combat arms," ever are in danger. Air Force and Navy personnel rarely experience combat at all apart from bombing targets far below or launching cruise missiles against Syrians. It is true that given the volatile nature of war against insurgents in places like Afghanistan many soldiers in support roles can come under fire, but it is far from normal and most men and women in service never experience a gun fired in anger.

Some numbers-crunchers in the Pentagon have already raised the alarm that the current pay, benefits and retirement levels for military personnel is unsustainable if the United States continues its worldwide mission against terrorists and allegedly rogue regimes. And it is also unsustainable if the U.S. seeks to return to a constitutional arrangement whereby the nation is actually defended by its military, not subordinated to it and being bankrupted by its costs.Would you like to know how many people have read this article?

Introduction

In a recent OpEdNews edition, I posted a widely read QuickLink to an article published in Black Agenda Report by its managing editor Bruce Dixon. Seeking to get Dixon's piece maximal attention, I titled my framing introduction to it "The Most Important Political Article in Ages." Despite the appearance of advertising puffery, I was not exaggerating.



Rev. Dr. William Barber of the Poor People's Campaign

To grasp why I find Dixon's timely piece so hefty, readers must understand my constant political perspective--as an activist analyst intensely focused on strategy and organizing. Like Karl Marx in his Theses on Feuerbach , I'm inclined to say, "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it." If the world we desperately wish to change is the hellhole of U.S. politics, nothing remotely rivals in importance the current attempt to revive Martin Luther King's Poor People's Campaign (PPC).

But as we support that campaign, nothing is more crucial than keeping it true to the spirit--and depth of underlying political analysis--of Dr. King. Rightly conducted, today's PPC could be (pun intended) just what the doctor ordered. This is why principled PPC critics like Dixon (who shares King's race and radical socialist leanings, if not his religion) deserve our close and serious attention.

PPC's Enormous Potential: To Lead Us from Our Political Desert

For a movement having, in King's day and now, roots in U.S. black churches, religious allusions and metaphors are of course highly appropriate. So in saying today's PPC could lead us out of our political desert, I am implying it could lead us into the Promised Land . Not, of course, that anyone acquainted with the nightmare of human history should expect the PPC to establish the millennium. But as a climate justice activist deeply influenced by Naomi Klein, I do think addressing humanity's climate emergency will require a level of rapid-fire moral maturation unprecedented in human history. Our stark choice is between maturation and climate catastrophe, perhaps even between maturation and climate Armageddon. As a broad movement crying out for moral maturation--across an interrelated spectrum of issues including climate--today's PPC is the closest approach anyone has made to a viable climate justice movement. It's also the first movement--unlike Democrats' pussy-hatted, Russophobic "McResistance" --offering a potentially deep response to the ghastly symptom of bipartisan disease known as Trump.

Provided, of course, today's PPC attacks the bipartisan disease. Since doubts on that score are what I find most compelling in Dixon's critique, I'll say much more on that soon. But first I must dispose of the points--few but crucial--where I disagree with Dixon.

Religion and Morality: Where Dixon Seems Off Base

Any close reader of Dixon's piece, and of my words so far, might have guessed (correctly) that my differences with him relate to religion and morality. Indeed, my previous section strongly hints that I'm comfortable with the PPC's religious origins and morality-based language in ways that Dixon is not. In fact, I find in the PPC's religious origins and moral language unique sources of effectiveness where Dixon sees only defects. But before elaborating on my two chief differences with Dixon, I wish to emphasize that they're far outweighed by debt we owe him for his gutsiness in criticizing the PPC. I imagine that for many supporters, today's PPC has already reached such iconic status that its critics must seem as perverse as detractors of Mom and apple pie would have seemed to characters in early 1960s sitcoms. Dixon honestly stuck his neck out for urgent public purposes, and even where his critiques seem mistaken, they're hardly shallow or ill-willed, but instead rooted in realities clear-sighted people must acknowledge.

Now, anyone reading Dixon's piece will instantly notice its snarky tone toward religion. As a frequent reader of Black Agenda Report (a black leftist publication, after all), I find this par for the course and hardly unjustified; how often, after all, has religion--especially U.S. Christianity--been used to buttress the powers that be? Or, in other words, to provide respectable support--even God's sanction--for a ruthless capitalist or militarist establishment or even Nazis ? Much more often, I'd venture, than it's been used for the vastly more Christian purpose of "comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable." And that's above all true when the comfort and affliction were to be offered in this-worldly terms; religion's notorious postponement of any reckoning to the afterlife of course underlies Marx's famous jibe at religion as "the opiate of the masses."

For those who know Marx's context (see the link just provided), not even Marx is as purely hostile toward religion as he's typically portrayed. But given humanity's vastly improved capacity to alleviate human misery via science, technology, and democratic institutions--resources that didn't exist when religions like Christianity were founded--no religious voice should now be trusted that hasn't come to terms with Marx. Dixon's snarkiness is totally appropriate to shallow religion, whereas the religion behind the PPC, in its vigilance about universal human sinfulness, is capable of critiquing shallow establishment religion in terms as scathing as anything found on the Marxist left. A fact driven home for me by recent readings in The Radical King and some works by prominent Protestant theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, a significant influence on King . Given the scholar-activist backgrounds of Revs. William Barber and Liz Theoharis (Theoharis actually on the faculty of Union Theological Seminary, Niebuhr's long-time home), leadership of today's PPC seems in good, uncompromising hands.

And no one cognizant of the role churches played in the civil rights movement, as well as earlier social movements like abolitionism and woman's suffrage, should doubt their immense value as community bases for political organizing. This seems especially true in a society that increasingly isolates individuals, and where labor unions, formerly powerful resources for organizing, have been decimated by successful political attacks. Now embracing Unitarian Universalism, that least dogmatic of religious faiths, I personally can (from an organizing standpoint) only regret I hadn't been "churched" in my incarnations as an anti-fracking, and later Bernie or Bust, organizer. Belonging to a church gives one special access not only to members of one's own church, but to interfaith political organizing--a powerful weapon wielded by today's PPC.

To close (very willingly) my criticisms of Dixon, morality seems the area where he's most off base. To berate the PPC for its emphasis on political issues as moral ones is probably to attack its greatest strength--a strength quite evident in King. Dixon rather amazingly overlooks the crucial role moral appeals played in eliminating such societal horrors as slavery, dueling, public torture, family vendettas, child labor--and in the civil rights movement itself. What's more, he flies in the face of cognitive scientist George Lakoff's important advice to liberals and progressives: that we need to start articulating the moral foundations of our political positions with the same dedication that conservatives, through their well-funded foundations and think tanks, have.

But even in his biggest misstep, Dixon is neither shallow nor ill-willed; his mistake is intertwined with valid, important concerns. On the one hand, Dixon contrasts the PPC's insistence on morality with a class struggle analysis he (unsurprisingly for a leftist) rightly finds missing. In its efforts at broad-based coalition building, the PPC, which never hesitates to give moral criticism, is unduly chary of giving political criticism based on unjust imbalances of economic (and thereby, of political) power. A strange stance indeed for a movement seeking to eliminate poverty and racism--and a radical neglect of crucial insight from Niebuhr, who saw such unjust imbalances as brutal instances of collective immorality. Class and power balance issues are moral issues, and Niebuhr saw collective immorality as even more pernicious for societies than the individual kind.

Finally, even Dixon's off-kilter criticism of PPC's moral language veils an extremely valid related concern. When Dixon (mistakenly) says " labeling your political opponents, their leaders, their misguided values and their persons as 'immoral' is never a persuasive political tactic " (ignoring the numerous social evils defeated by precisely moral critiques), his words do suggest a totally legitimate concern about the targets of such critiques. The powerful are in a radically different position of responsibility from the powerless; almost needless to say, Trump supporters--generally victims of propaganda in a system that offers few valid choices (Clinton was hardly a good alternative)--bear considerably less moral responsibility than Trump and the staffers of his thuggish regime. In politics, we should always fire our moral weaponry at the powerful ; the powerless, rather like bystanders of armed conflict, should be left to infer the implications of associating closely with parties rightly under moral assault. Creating shame by proxy, without the resentment provoked by personal blame, is the needed moral tactic.

History is filled with narratives about killing fields. This troubled writer looks at the killing fields of Gaza, and is driven to begin with a story:

"A man kills his mother and his father. Brought to trial, he begs for mercy because he is an orphan."

There are times when two sides have legitimate claims to a side. The killer in this story does not have a "side."

The story comes to mind when this troubled writer sees the deaths of Palestinians in the killing fields of Gaza and is driven to fury by the willingness of others to embrace the killer's narrative.

I write, of course, of Bibi Netanyahu, grinning ear to ear, ordering Israeli soldiers to secure themselves behind safe mounds on the Gaza "border," and fire into Palestinian crowds, who were protesting their imprisonment. The New York Times, in its usual tepid "both sides" journalistic style, defends the slaughter.

On May 16, the New York Times ran a story with this headline, which on-line reads: A Child of Gaza Dies. A Symbol Is Born. The Arguing Begins.

The arguing begins? The man who killed his parents has a side from which to argue? No he does not. A judge who knows a phony plea for mercy when she sees one, can only utter the words, "take him away."

And yet in this nightmare of Orwellian reality in which we live, Israel's occupying military force continues its death-dealing ways and calls it a side.

Here is the start of the Times' "argument" story, written by Decian Walsh:

"GAZA -- Layla Ghandour, an 8-month-old girl with sparkling green eyes, was in the arms of her grandmother when a cloud of tear gas engulfed them at the protest in Gaza on Monday. The child inhaled a draft of acrid gas that set off a rasping cough and watering eyes. Hours later she was dead. "The story shot across the globe, providing an emotive focus for outrage at military tactics that Israel's critics said were disproportionately violent. ['Israel's critics'? 'disproportionately violent'?] "Yet within hours the family's story was being questioned. Doctors said Layla had suffered from a congenital heart defect that, one suggested, might have caused her death. Then the Israeli military issued claims, unsupported by evidence, that it held information that disproved the family's account. [information that she died from tear gas sent from Israel's 'side'?]" --emphasis added.

A 1984 film, The Killing Fields, examined deaths in the killing fields of Cambodia, an earlier story of brutal, hateful, human conduct evoked by another "complicated" colonialist conflict.

Do not look for a film about "The Killing Fields of Gaza." But look to disperse the use of "complicated" excuses to kill those who stand in the way of empirical expansion. Search not for truth and wisdom about Israel, in the pages of The New York Times.

Trump

(Image by IoSonoUnaFotoCamera) Details DMCA



According to a piece in the Chicago Tribune the person currently at the head of the United States government was "bewitched by the grandeur of the title 'Mr. President' and the power and prestige that goes with it. The article's message is that this love affair is over. My message herein is that we must continue doing whatever we can to make sure it is, beginning with the relatively simple strategy of not using the word "President" in any and all references to this man.

Ever since the election I had been chagrined by media references that complained about the man's worst actions while still using the respectful title, "President" which I thought countered the critique by giving him the credibility the office should warrant. Then the strategy for helping to depose him came to me while my wife and I were watching a segment of West Wing where President Josiah Barlet (Martin Sheen) is hiring his second Executive Secretary, a woman named Deborah Fiderer (Lily Tomlin). Just after he hires her, a security screening reveals a letter she had written previously to the White House where she suggests the President's drink be poisoned so he might focus more on human rights. Instead of rejecting her, however, and in light of learning about her weird sense of humor and her proven integrity, he let's her keep the job. Knowing that he knows about the letter she asks him why. His response is simply because she refers to him in the letter as "President Barlet."

As more evidence in support of doing what we can to get reporters (and all of us) to stop referring to the former reality television personality as "President" consider the letter Robert Hickey mentions in his writing about Honor and Respect regarding the state protocol. He cites a question he received from a woman in Honolulu:

How should President Trump be referred to by the media? I hear them refer to him as Mr. Trump and this just doesn't sound very respectful of him (in my opinion). Mahalo for your time.

This letter reflects the idea that when "President" is not attached to Trump in media reports, people associate this with a lack of respect. This is exactly why we should start implementing the strategy! A letter to the editor in the L.A. Times recently refers to the dilemma regarding respect for the office when respect is not deserved:

To the editor : As an African American male who loves this great country of ours and has tremendous respect for authority, I am appalled by the comments of President Trump.

As a parent, I teach my children to respect authority, but when the person with the most authority in the country consistently makes derogatory comments about other countries and races, how do you respect a person like that?

You don't respect such a person but I think we offer such respect each time we use the title of "President."

As an Indigenous scholar, I abide by the Indigenous precept about words being sacred entities. This is especially true for monikers. Names are generally treated with great respect. When respect is not deserved there there are options. For example, the original Lakota word for the white skinned European settlers was Wasicun. Initially it respectfully described what might be translated into "another kind of people with special powers." As time went on and the deceit, greed and cruelty of the settlers became the prevailing theme, the word eventually took on the current meaning of "taker of the fat" that is an insulting term for "the white man." (This might have stemmed from a play on words because a similar sounding word, wasin icu, meant fat. So Wasicun --wasin icu might have become a joke about the white man taking all the fat. In any case, today, as Debra White Plume writes in "Wasichu' fat takers are the 1 percent" uses the word disrespectfully for the "Trumps" of the world to refer to "selfishness, pettiness and greediness."

Another option some writers have recommended besides alternative language is to simply refuse naming Trump at all as signal of resistance. An article in The Atlantic offers this option for rejecting Trump's legitimacy. "When it comes to the current president, the refusal to use his name may be uniquely subversive because of the degree to which Trump has wrapped his entire worth, wealth, and fame up in those five letters." A number of people do this now perhaps to avoid his wrath or litigation as Meryl Streep did on stage when she indirectly and critically referred to Trump. I have a little trouble with this because avoidance strategies are often all about respect in many American Indian cultures. Never mentioning the name of a deceased person or of one's mother-in-law for example is about respect. Another position against the idea of disowning the moniker and implying "not my President" is that we need to take responsibility for being "part of the nation that elected this clown."

For now I'm sticking with the strategy of simply stopping reminding people that Trump is "President Trump" or "Mr. President." If he was indeed bewitch "bewitched by the grandeur of the title" then let's continue to cause him to lose all his powers by getting the media to drop the title.In the light of the current outrages committed by Trump (the embassy relocation/provocation) and Netanyahu (the Gaza massacres), it seems to me appropriate to republish a column that I first posted on The Greanville Post in 2011. And so, here 'tis:

Original URL: http://www.greanvillepost.com/2011/06/20/why-the-current-israeli-government-will-not-negotiate/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Henry Siegman is a former President of the Synagogue Council of America and the American Jewish Congress, and served on the executive committee of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) for nearly thirty years, from 1965 to 1994.



Rabbi Siegman recently published a lengthy column on the Israel-Palestine conflict in the June 11th edition of The Nation titled, "Can Obama Beat the Israel Lobby?" In it Rabbi Siegman held that an understanding of the current state of affairs dealing with the conflict must begin with an understanding that the current government of Israel has absolutely no interest in negotiating with the Palestinians, never has and never will. I was fascinated to read Rabbi Siegman's lengthy column, for it supports a view that I have long held. Rabbi Siegman presents very convincing evidence for the position, including the fact that most Israelis, of whatever political persuasion, agree with it.



Benjamin Netanyahu, Argh! This one says it all (except how personally corrupt he is).

With the rise to power of Benyamin Netanyahu, guessing games about whether the Right-Wing Israeli government is interested in seriously negotiating or, as Rabbi Siegman firmly says, they are not, are no longer necessary. Netanyahu's Foreign Secretary, a former Russian (and quite secular) Jew, openly talks about expulsion, not only of the Palestinians from the Occupied Territories, but also of Arab Israeli citizens from the State of Israel. The day before Netanyahu most recently met with President Obama, the Deputy Speaker of the Knesset and a prominent Likudnik, Danny Danon, said, in an Op-Ed published in The New York Times (May 19, 2011) that Israel should simply go ahead and annex the Occupied Territories. Shortly thereafter, Netanyahu refused to meet in Israel with a visiting delegation from the US Congress organized by J-Street, the pro-peace US liberal Jewish lobbying organization. "Just don't want to talk about negotiatin,' no way, no how, donchaknow."



Then there is the whole moving the goalposts gambit, like the bunch of right-wing Israeli government pre-conditions that is now so large that it includes the prior recognition of Israel not just as a state (which Saudi Arabia voluntarily agreed to in 2002 in a peace initiative totally ignored by their oil-soul-mates in the White House as well as Israel, of course) but as a Jewish state. And further: Hamas would not be allowed at any negotiating table (even though they are the elected representatives of the Gazan population and some respected authorities think that their "we don't recognize Israel" position [actually not held by all of its leadership] is nothing but a bargaining chip, of which they have precious few others); a discussion of Palestinian repatriation could not be on the agenda either, even though the leading Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, has, since the draft peace settlement "Geneva Accords", negotiated by himself and former center-left Israeli government Cabinet Minister Yossi Beilin in 2004, accepted a token 50,000 as his negotiating starting point.



And so the question arises, "Why?" Why is the Israeli Right so opposed to a settlement with the Palestinians based on a two-state solution, with the Palestinian state being demilitarized and Israel having some kind of military presence along the Palestinian portion of the River Jordan? This is a question that does not often arise in discussions of the Israel/Palestine conflict, but to my mind it is the central one. For it explains why there will never be a settlement until either the Israeli people replace the governing Right-Far Right coalition or the United States forces a settlement down its throat, as suggested in the article by Rabbi Siegman.

1. In the Woody Allen movie Sleeper, when he awakens from a (very) deep sleep after the end of a catastrophic world war and is asked what started it, he replies, "well, there was a man named Albert Shanker." A man named Ze'ev Jabotinsky is the one who started it for Israel/Palestine. He was a right-wing Zionist who in the 1920s laid down the dictum that that long-range solution for what would become Israel was to establish a state within what has been held for millennia to be the boundaries of "The Land of Israel" "granted to the Jews" "by God." Questions of logic, history, and legality do not figure into this configuration for a modern State of Israel. For Jabotinsky the solution to the problem of the Arab peoples living there was a simple one: expulsion. In the 1930s, David Ben Gurion, the future first Prime Minister of Israel referred to Jabotinsky as the "Jewish Hitler." Netanyahu's father was a secretary to Jabotinsky. Ariel Sharon's parents were close associates of his, and Begun's Irgun was strongly influenced by him. At the time of the UN-sponsored Partition of the British Palestinian Mandate into Jewish and Arab sectors in 1947, the one-third of the Jewish Agency that represented the Jabotinskyites voted against accepting it. So Jabotinsky's, "'The Land of Israel' is ours and no one else's regardless of who else happens to be living there perhaps for quite some time," position has been at the center of the political ideology of all of the generations of the Israeli Right. Of course, presently it is convenient for the Israeli Right to have the support of a strong branch of the US Republican Christian Right which also supports the creation of the modern "Land of Israel," but for different reasons than those held by any Israelis.

2. Likud and its right-wing coalition partners know that if a GOPer wins the Presidency in 2012 they won't have anything to worry for quite some additional time. So stalling now is a very good idea for them.

3. If a settlement were to be arrived at, Israel would face the very real possibility of the outbreak of some kind of civil war. A significant proportion of the settlers are not Israelis but in fact right-wing American Jewish e'migre's, often Orthodox. The biblical, "Land of Israel" story (which of course has no relevance to present day reality) is in their blood and they might very well be willing to spill quite a bit of the latter to defend the former. A right-wing Israeli government, built partially on the backs of the settlers, would have a very hard time opposing them, especially with force.

4. Finally, and this may be the key point, if there were a comprehensive settlement, with the establishment of a Palestinian state, the Israeli Right would likely become politically irrelevant. To administer a country finally at peace after decades of wars, pseudo-wars, and threats of war, almost certainly a new Center-Left coalition, with strong representation from the Arab-Israelis, would be voted into power. And then where would that leave the wealthy in a country which is rapidly approaching the United States in the rich/everyone-else split? Where would that leave the Israeli arms industry? Where would that leave the Israeli Defense Force and Mossad? Where would that leave the tiny religious parties and their outsized influence on social policy in return for their few votes in the Knesset that puts Likud over the top? Not good for their side, one should think. The day before the May 20, 2011 Obama-Netanyahu meeting, an ad in The New York Times signed by 100 Israelis, high-ranking former military and Mossad commanders, numerous winners of the Israel Prize, and a number of other well-known political and academic leaders, sponsored by J-Street, was headed, "Act Now: To Achieve a Two-State Solution," based on the 1967 borders. That in itself does not bode well for the Israeli Right, should peace ever be achieved.

It would appear that if there is to be political movement on the issue of true negotiations, attention will have to be paid to these concerns, both within the United States and within Israel.Would you like to know how many people have read this article?

A "perjury trap" is a prosecutorial maneuver and a form of entrapment in which "a prosecutor calls a witness to testify with the intent to base a perjury charge on their statements, not to indict them for a previous crime." If a prosecutor calls a witness for only that purpose, rather than to get information to further an investigation, the law is clear -- it's forbidden.



Perjury traps are most easily executed when the prosecutor has prior knowledge of the matter about which the witness is questioned but doesn't reveal having that knowledge. In practice perjury traps can be executed while furthering an investigation and still be traps. A prosecutor can ask investigatory questions and set a perjury trap at the same time. Thus, since perjury traps are forbidden in law only in restricted circumstances, they are difficult to avoid.



If the questions leaked to the New York Times and presented as what Robert Mueller would ask Donald Trump in an official interview, are indeed Mueller's questions (regardless of who leaked them), Mueller may be setting a perjury trap for Trump.





"Russia-gate enthusiasts are thrilled over the guilty plea of President Trump's former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn for lying to the FBI about pre-inauguration conversations with the Russian ambassador, but the case should alarm true civil libertarians.







"In other words, the Justice Department wasn't seeking information about what Flynn said to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak -- the intelligence agencies already had that information. Instead, Flynn was being quizzed on his precise recollection of the conversations and nailed for lying when his recollections deviated from the transcripts."

"Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr has claimed that his 7-month investigation of President Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky, which seeks to prove that Clinton and Lewinsky lied under oath in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case against Clinton, is about lies, not sex. But the public appears to recognize instinctively what the law has long acknowledged: that lies vary in degree and in kind, and that they should be treated accordingly. The President's aides fear that Starr will try to set a so-called perjury trap in order to catch the President in lies told directly to the grand jury. Perjury traps have become a popular tactic among independent counsels: if they can't prove the alleged crime they were appointed to investigate, they indict suspects for lying to investigators. But the traps are effective only because independent counsels have succeeded over the past few decades in expanding the lying laws far beyond their historical roots."

Diana Buttu, a Palestinian human rights lawyer, former Bir Zeit University professor, and former legal advisor to the Palestinian negotiation team.

(Image by YouTube, Channel: AlternateFocus) Details DMCA



Diana Buttu is a Palestinian-Canadian lawyer and former Palestinian negotiator. On Monday, she and hundreds of other protesters were roughed up and brutalized by a phalanx of heavily armed Israeli security forces as they tried to raise the Palestinian Flag in front of the new Jerusalem-based US Embassy.

Buttu was outraged as she noted "from video footage we can see that people were shot in the back. Others were shot for carrying tires or for simply walking into these areas. These were individuals who posed no threat whatsoever. Even if they were attempting to cross the border, you don't use live fire to kill people who are crossing a border."

Buttu spoke to Dennis Bernstein on Tuesday May 15th, 2018

Dennis Bernstein: Diana Buttu very good to speak with you again. First of all, what is your understanding of the latest statistics? I understand the number of dead is over 60, the number of wounded is some 2,700, of which 1,300 were hit by gunshots. And please put the latest Israeli slaughter into historical context.

Diana Buttu: We are now at the 70th anniversary of the Nakba, the commemoration of the establishment of Israel and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Today was a particularly difficult day, both because we had to bury over 60 Palestinians, including eight children and two people who were disabled. In addition to mourning the loss of our country and experiencing the everyday process of ethnic cleansing, we are seeing an effort on the part of the Americans and the Israelis to blame the victim. This is adding insult to injury and we are back at a place now where Israel can justify the unjustifiable.

Bernstein: What are hearing in terms of the ability to treat the wounded?

Buttu: It is important to keep in mind that this is not just a case of overloading at the hospitals, but of the capacity of the hospitals to begin with. These are hospitals that have been running on less than three hours of electricity per day because of the Israeli-imposed blockade on the Gaza Strip. They don't have the necessary medical supplies because of the blockade. So we are talking about people who are going to die because they are unable to get the necessary treatment. Add to that the kind of weaponry that the Israelis are using. We are hearing of two new types of bullets, one of which is designed to explode inside the body and maim. We are also hearing reports of a different kind of gas which is being used on Palestinians which is akin to a nerve gas. Israeli has a policy of shoot-to-kill.

Bernstein: This notion of the Israeli government that every single person in Gaza is guilty, that there are no innocent people in Gaza. What does that say to you?

Buttu: The Israelis have had this policy for quite some time. Avigdor Lieberman has said many times in the past that there are no innocents in Gaza. This is why we see them deliberately targeting children and people in wheelchairs. They can excuse the death of an eight-month-old child who died yesterday from gas inhalation. This process of demonization is what allows them to continue to perpetrate a massacre.

Bernstein: Some people refer to this as a war between the Israelis and the Palestinians. But there have been no Israeli casualties, none. How can you consider that a war?

Buttu: It is not only zero casualties, nobody has been even remotely injured. The Israelis are gunning Palestinians down. It is like shooting fish in a barrel. These are people who are nowhere near this electrified fence that the Israelis claim to be defending. [Buttu has been challenged about whether the fence is electrified.] This is a one-sided massacre, with a green light given to it by the Trump administration.

Bernstein: This slaughter is taking place on a day which the Israeli prime minister is calling one of the greatest days in Israel's history, with the decision of the US government to move its embassy to Jerusalem. Could you talk about the significance of the move in the context of what has been going on in Gaza?

Buttu: Yes, this is a great day for Israel. At its very core, Israel is about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. It is ethnic cleansing and land theft that is being recognized and rewarded. Sunday was the 51st anniversary of the occupation by the Hebrew calendar. It is celebrating 51 years of the denial of freedom. The day after is when the US decided to move its embassy. Today is the 70th commemoration of the Nakba. What the United States has done is pour salt into a very open wound. It is sending a very clear message to the Palestinians that Israel will forever be rewarded for violating human rights, for stealing Palestinian land, for expanding settlements, demolishing Palestinian homes. They will never be sanctioned or censored. Instead they will be rewarded.

Bernstein: The Israelis are saying that this is a Hamas terrorist operation at the border. They shot at least 27 terrorists who were trying to plant bombs. But we didn't see any Hamas or any political flags.

With Trump making one of the worst, most reckless decisions by an American president in U.S. history he has, unwittingly, provided a brilliant opportunity for European nations to begin the process of breaking away from decades of American dominance.

What Trump did was senseless in that he called the Iran Nuclear Agreement a complete disaster, that it was not working, and was allowing Iran to continue nuclear development behind the scenes. But, as he does with other issues, he presented no facts or evidence to back up his contentions.

No doubt when he pulled the plug he felt confident that Britain, France and Germany, even though they strongly believed that the agreement should remain in effect, would simply fall in line and join the U.S. withdrawal. After all, isn't that what they always do, fall in line, when directed to do so by the U.S.?

Well, this time the outcome may be entirely different and Trump may be in for a big surprise, one that he won't like at all.

Trump's contention that this is a highly faulted agreement that needs to be ended is just one more misguided statement on his part. And his statement that inspections are almost non-existent is ridiculous and ignorant of what is really happening.

The IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Association, the highly respected world inspection organization, has been closely monitoring what goes on in Iran to assure that this nation is complying with the agreement.

To further try to discredit this agreement John Bolton, Trump's new National Security Adviser, in a cable news interview, sent out a subtle message that if these U.S. allies do not reject this agreement that the U.S. might impose sanctions on some of their companies that would involve technology trade.

Bolton's warning was a typical threat that is used by the U.S. to force other countries to "toe the line", i.e., to do as they are told if they know what's good for them. In his cocky manner, he said, "I think the Europeans will see that it's ultimately in their interest to come along with us."

Well maybe Bolton and his boss, Trump, should think a bit deeper before they make these threats against their allies who have Russia and China strongly siding with them on this matter.

They should understand that, besides Britain, Germany and France, the vast majority of the other 23 members of the European Union also want this agreement to remain in effect.

At various sites across Iran that have involved Iran's nuclear development program, the IAEA has highly sophisticated equipment that monitors activities and transmits key data constantly to its headquarters in Viennna where scientists conduct studies to assure compliance. There are also teams of inspectors on the ground in Iran that watch closely for any violations.

These intensive inspections have been going on in Iran since the inception of the agreement in 2015 and the IAEA has regularly issued reports to all those involved in this agreement plus the UN that indicate their findings. So far they have not seen any violations by Iran.

Now are there any concerns that Iran may be doing some kind of illegal nuclear development at locations of which the inspectors are not aware? Yes, that's true and so the IAEA continues to expand its search to determine if there are any such activities going on. So far they have found none and have declared that, thus far, Iran is fully complying with the provisions of the agreement.

Since France, Germany and the UK, supported by the rest of the 28-member European Union, most certainly want this agreement to stay in effect they now have an opportunity to save it by refusing to join with the U.S. in withdrawing.

So let's do a "what if analysis" What if the U.S. allies have had enough of these threats and decide to join with Russia and China and continue to adhere to the Iran Nuclear Agreement?

This article originally appeared at TomDispatch.com.

The forcible separation of parents and children for "months or longer" under any circumstances, even for illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexican border, would have to rank high in the annals of cruelty and heartlessness. As Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced recently, the U.S. now has just such a "zero tolerance" policy at that border. No more "smuggling" (as the AG put it) of children into this country, though we're largely talking about parents and kids, even toddlers, fleeing grim violence in their homelands. The Trump administration considers such a stance a "deterrence policy," though -- typical of the Trump era -- it's based on a false statistic. Such separations have, in fact, been going on in a less official fashion since the administration took office. And don't even blame Jeff Sessions for the policy. We now know that the urge to rip children out of the arms of their parents comes directly from the White House, from the heart, such as it is, of one Donald J. Trump.

As Michael Shear and Nicole Perlroth reported in the New York Times recently, a presidential rant at a cabinet meeting against the head of the Department of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, that almost caused her to resign, was in part over this very matter:

"One persistent issue has been Mr. Trump's belief that Ms. Nielsen and other officials in the department were resisting his direction that parents be separated from their children when families cross illegally into the United States, several officials said. The president and his aides in the White House had been pushing a family separation policy for weeks as a way of deterring families from trying to cross the border illegally."

TomDispatch regular Karen Greenberg has already written for this site on the staggering numbers of children displaced by Washington's wars across the Greater Middle East and Africa, who are now, of course, denied any hope of sanctuary here (another kind of zero-tolerance stance of the Trump era). Today, however, she focuses on a different kind of Trumpian separation policy, one directed at divorcing us from the very language we speak, the words we normally use to describe reality, which are now to be officially banished to the borderlands of our consciousness.

Down the Memory Hole

Trump's Strategic Assault on Democracy, Word by Word

By Karen J. Greenberg Consider us officially in an Orwellian world, though we only half realize it. While we were barely looking, significant parts of an American language long familiar to us quite literally, and in a remarkably coherent way, went down the equivalent of George Orwell's infamous Memory Hole. This hit me in a personal way recently. I was asked to give a talk at an annual national security conference held in downtown Manhattan and aimed largely at an audience of college students. The organizer, who had pulled together a remarkable array of speakers, encountered problems in one particular area: his efforts to include representatives of the Trump administration in the gathering. Initially, administration officials he dealt with wouldn't even divulge the names of possible participants, only their titles, leaving who was coming a mystery until days before the conference opened. In addition, before agreeing to send speakers, his contacts at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known by the acronym ICE, had not just requested but insisted that the word "refugee" be removed from the conference program. It was to appear in a description of a panel entitled "Refugee Programs, Immigration, Customs and Border Protection." The reason given: the desire to get through the administration approval process in Washington without undue delay. It's not hard to believe that the administration that wanted to slow to a standstill refugees coming to the U.S. didn't have an allied urge to do away with the very word itself. In order to ensure that ICE representatives would be there, the organizer reluctantly conceded and so the word "refugee" was dutifully removed from the program. Meanwhile, the actual names of Department of Homeland Security officials coming to speak were withheld until three days before the event. Finally, administration representatives in touch with the conference organizers insisted that the remarks of any government representatives could not be taped, which meant, ultimately, that none of the proceedings could be taped. As a result, this conference was not recorded for posterity. For me -- and I've been observing the national security landscape for years now -- this was something of a new low when it came to surrounding a previously open event in a penumbra of secrecy. It made me wonder how many other organizers across the country had been strong-armed in a similar fashion, how many words had been removed from various programs, and how much of what an American citizen should know now went unrecorded. To some extent, I understood the organizer's plight, having myself negotiated requests from government officials for 15 years' worth of national security get-togethers of every sort. As director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law and before that of a similar center at New York University School of Law, I had been asked by more than one current or former Bush or Obama administration official to not record his or her remarks. Indeed, one or two had even asked to be kept away from the audience until those remarks were delivered. Still, most had come eager to debate, confident that their views were the preferable ones, aware that the perspectives of many in the room or conference hall would differ from theirs, often drastically, on hard-edged issues like torture, Guanta'namo, and targeted killings. But one thing I know: not once in all those years had I been asked to change the language of an event, to wipe a word or phrase out of the program of the moment. It would have been an unthinkable violation. The very idea that the government can control what words we use and don't at a university-related event seems to violate everything we as a country hold dear about the independence of educational institutions from government control, not to mention the sanctity of free speech and the importance of public debate. But that, of course, was in the era before Donald Trump became president. Assaulting the Language of American Democracy

On Monday I was arrested along with many other people in the street in front of the U.S. Capitol, participating in the new Poor People's Campaign, the first multi-issue coalition we've seen in years that properly takes on militarism rather than indulging the fantasy of a $1 trillion a year military coexisting with decent humanitarian and environmental policies.

Yet it was hard at this peaceful gathering and in the "training" before it not to notice people's habitual shouts of "fight back!" and "go to war!" and "we must be warriors!" -- not to mention the handing out of U.S. flags.

What bothers me far more than peace activists talking war talk, however, is war activists talking peace talk. I recently debated a "military ethicist" who literally claimed to support wars out of love. The Pentagon, of course, has a peace pole in it. While no peace activists ever claim that peace will help bring the world to a state of war, war activists are constantly claiming that war will produce peace -- in fact they've been doing so for 100 years now in the face of ever growing evidence to the contrary.

On Thursday, the department formerly known as the U.S. War Department posted this headline: "Army Leader Focuses on Empathy, Compassion." The article made no mention whatsoever of "humanitarian" propaganda, of how to pretend that massive violence and slaughter can be used to prevent greater suffering. It included no comment on winning the "hearts and minds" of the people you are killing and occupying. It suggested no techniques for properly empathizing with those you kill or injure or torture or render homeless or force to obey foreign or domestic tyrants.

The War Department article focused entirely on how a U.S. military commander can empathetically and compassionately command subordinates to engage in the mass killing of which war consists. There's no mention of the fact that U.S. veterans are much more likely to commit suicide, or the fact that they are much more likely to go on committing murder beyond the permitted times and places.

In fact, there's actually no mention at all of any ways in which to be empathetic or compassionate even to subordinate soldiers. The obvious first steps of allowing "volunteers" to stop volunteering, of providing non-evil career options, of investing a few percent of the military budget in making college free, of firing John Bolton before he blows up Korea and the rest of us with it, etc., would clearly not be acceptable. But nothing else is offered instead.

So, what's in the article? Virtually nothing. We're told to use something called "hard leadership," but not what it is or why it's called that, or why it has to be called something that makes it sound cartoonishly and barbarically stupid. The article fully exhausts its vocabulary in avoiding saying anything, to the point where it is reduced to telling us that there are "many lessons on the hard things of leadership," but neither what those lessons are, nor what those hard things are.

"I've never had a retention problem in any of my organizations, and I'd like to think I can attribute it to the command climate that we provided," says an Army maestro. Call me an ignorant civilian, but I'd attribute it to the contracts members of the military have signed that can result in their being sent to prison if they "desert."

Nonviolent activists filling the streets for peace and justice are doing so at the risk of going to jail. Violent soldiers bombing and shooting up distant streets are doing so lest they be sent to jail for refusing. One of these movements is a place for great leaders. The other is a place where leadership is more than "hard," it's impossible.Would you like to know how many people have read this article? Or how reputable the author is?

From Our Future



Texas Democrat Laura Moser is running in her state's 7th Congressional District.

(Image by (Photo from Laura Moser for Congress)) Details DMCA



Primary season is underway, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has faced growing backlash to its heavy-handed interventions on behalf of some favored candidates.

A taped conversation in which Representative Steny Hoyer, a member of Democratic House leadership, pushed an insurgent candidate to withdraw sparked the latest furor, and it deepened when House minority leader Nancy Pelosi backed Hoyer's intervention.

In separate opeds, Jonathan Alter and longtime Democratic operative Elaine Kamarck argued that DCCC interference is essential if Democrats are to recapture a House majority in the fall. Both applauded the citizen mobilizations that could help generate a "wave election," but essentially want activists to line up, salute, and let the pros take care of candidate selection. They couldn't be more wrong.

Alter's argument is the more scabrous; it accused "remnants of lefties in Jill Steinland" of "moral vanity" for "indulging" in primary fights that drain resources over "minor policy differences." (He didn't bother to explain why a primary challenger is equivalent to a third-party candidate.) Alter fretted that more progressive candidates might actually beat "well-funded moderates with better chances of winning in November."

In this most important election, Democrats should put party and country over "personal preference," he argued, and resist voting for the candidate whose views they support, and instead favor the one more likely to win in the general election. Built into this argument is the unquestioned assumption that the DCCC is best qualified to identify the right candidate.

Kamarck, an early champion of the New Democrats and a longtime DNC member, echoed Alter's faith in the pros. She expressed regrets that the party has allowed candidates to be selected by voters in primaries rather than party officials in back rooms: She wants more, rather than fewer, superdelegates to help determine the party's presidential nominee. The DCCC, she admitted, is "not always right," but it is more concerned about "electability than ideological purity." In her view, voters don't understand that "not all congressional districts are Berkeley, California.

" It's hard to be a weatherman if you can't tell which way the wind is blowing. Alter and Kamarck have summarized the beliefs of a party establishment that doesn't have a clue.

Even in traditional political terms, the argument is unconvincing. It doesn't consider the Democratic establishment's record of abysmal failure. Over the past decade, Democrats lost control of both houses of Congress, 1,000 seats in statehouses across the nation, and the presidency to the most reviled candidate in history. The party committees haven't cleaned house or changed strategy. The same consultants, the same pollsters, the same operatives still are at the wheel. If they were mechanics, you would not keep hiring them to fix your car.

The DCCC's strategy to pursue bland, "safe" candidates is particularly questionable in an off-year election; midterms are often marked by low turnout. Activist energy and base mobilization are critical. Democrats are talking about a wave election because the resistance to Trump is combining with momentum from the Sanders campaign along with movements like #MeToo and Black Lives Matter.

Candidates can help fuel that energy or depress it. The DCCC's screen for candidates starts with those who can give or raise a lot of money. It favors "moderates" who might appeal to the center -- thus, there is a preference for veterans and ex-intelligence officers, businesspeople and corporate lawyers, even for former Republicans. The theory goes that Trump will naturally mobilize the Democratic base to vote, and moderate candidates will have a better chance to attract independents.

But voters right, left, and center are increasingly suspicious of traditionally packaged, blow-dried candidates. Voters are looking for authentic leaders who will shake things up. The DCCC's business-as-usual approach is increasingly out of step with the times.

Primary fights can help build energy, interest, and mobilization -- or they can be divisive. Part of that depends on how challengers are treated by the establishment. The DCCC's heavy thumb on the scale -- particularly in the wake of the revelations about the DNC's machinations in the 2016 presidential primaries -- is increasingly likely to backfire.

When the DCCC unleashed a personal attack on Laura Moser in a Texas congressional race, the popular reaction in fund-raising and activism surely helped propel her into a runoff against the DCCC's designated candidate. Worse, DCCC interference may well end up leaving activists embittered, which saps energy for the general election.

Alter believes there is a limited pool of money and energy that primaries needlessly squander. But energy and money in politics are a function of excitement and interest. Primary challenges -- particularly substantive ones -- can help build energy, capture interest, and generate more resources.

Alter and Kamarck both assume that Trump is so threatening and outlandish that Democrats can be successful with the traditional playbook and candidates -- a strategy shared by Clinton's 2016 campaign, and one that didn't work out so well.

This ignores the larger failure of establishment politics: The system hasn't produced for most Americans, who even now understand their wages aren't keeping up with the costs of necessities. By scorning primary fights as reflecting the "narcissism of small differences," Alter seems perversely oblivious to what is going on. The populist uprising in the party -- personified by the Sanders campaign in 2016 -- isn't about petty disagreements. Democrats are only beginning what will be a furious argument over what the party stands for, what its coalition is, and how it will do politics.

Are Democrats the party of Wall Street and Silicon Valley? Will the party build an upscale coalition using identity politics and neoliberal economics to fuse socially liberal professionals with African-American and Latino base voters? Or will the party reconstitute itself as a party of working people, across all lines of race, that champions populist economics? Is the party wedded to big-money politics or building a politics grounded on small donors and citizen participation? Will it continue to provide bipartisan support to our interventionist foreign policy or demand an end to endless wars and the beginning of a new strategy?

This year's primaries are but an early round of this argument. The energy in the party is clearly on the progressive-populist side. Potential 2020 presidential contenders reflect that reality, as they embrace reforms like Medicare for All, a good-jobs guarantee, tuition-free college, and more. This fight within the party is likely to build, not decline. To dismiss it as narcissistic or moral vanity is to miss what is a historic and long-overdue debate.

Alter and Kamarck both point to the Republican Party as a cautionary lesson. In some instances, Tea Party activists indeed nominated nutcase candidates--including one who memorably decided to declare she was not a witch -- and that may have cost them Senate seats they could have won. Yes, insurgencies make mistakes too. But neither Alter nor Kamarck notes that, fueled by the Tea Party surge (and by big right-wing money), Republicans have won control across the board, and the Tea Party has driven the broader party to the right. And the big reform ideas driving the left in the Democratic Party have far wider popular appeal than the Tea Party agenda on the right.

It remains to be seen how Democrats will perform in the November election. Trump's approval ratings are abysmal, though ticking up with the economy. Republican legislators are deeply unpopular, but recent polling shows them catching up with Democrats on the generic congressional ballot. Democrats have raised record amounts of money, but the flood of conservative dark money is yet to come. The calls for Democrats to unify are likely to build in coming weeks.

But the debate about the party's direction has only begun. Democrats should be happy that it is taking place within the party and in its primaries. They'd be wiser to embrace the energy and open the party up, rather than demand that activists stand down and let the party's pros make the calls.Would you like to know how many people have read this article?

IfNotNow was formed in 2014 by young Jews angered by the "overwhelmingly hawkish response of American Jewish institutions" to the violence of the 2014 Israel--Gaza conflict, Operation Protective Edge. They note that they wanted to "demonstrate their resistance through the beauty of Jewish ritual" and that "We will be the generation that ends our community's support for the occupation."

"IF I AM NOT FOR MYSELF, WHO WILL BE FOR ME?

BUT IF I AM ONLY FOR MYSELF, WHAT AM I?

IF NOT NOW, WHEN?"

-HILLEL THE ELDER, 1ST CENTURY, BCE

"Moved to act by moral anguish and inspired by Hillel's three questions, they organized Mourner's Kaddish actions in nearly a dozen cities across the country and lamented the loss of both Israeli and Palestinian life. They had three demands: Stop the War on Gaza, End the Occupation, and Freedom and Dignity for All."

IfNotNow notes, "the demand for American Jewish institutions to end their support for the occupation has only grown more urgent and clear since that summer. While the out-of-touch establishment claims to speak for our community, we know that American Jewry is eager for change."

Dear Rabbi Jacobs, URJ & RAC leadership, Yesterday, 60 Palestinians were killed and thousands wounded along the Gaza border by Israeli soldiers as Israeli and American politicians and American Jewish establishment leaders celebrated Trump's embassy move. In response, URJ President Rabbi Rick Jacobs offered words of celebration of the embassy move along with muted remorse and victim-blaming for the Palestinians killed. As Reform Jews, we are appalled and outraged by this statement. The embassy move is needlessly provocative and destructive to the prospect of peace in Israel and Palestine. Meanwhile, Israeli repression of largely nonviolent and unarmed Palestinian protesters - including firing live rounds at children and marked medical personnel - is abhorrent. This violence is part and parcel of the Occupation, an ongoing moral disaster for those who uphold and support it and a daily nightmare for the Palestinians who live under it. As current members and alumni of Reform synagogues, URJ camps and NFTY, we were taught by our community to value peace and pursue social justice, and to view every person as someone made b'tselem Elohim, in the image of the Divine. We demand now that you commit to opposing Israeli repression and ending the Occupation the same way you have committed to other issues of enormous importance and moral clarity, such as gun violence prevention, racial justice, refugee resettlement, and environmentalism. Our community faces a moral crisis, and a choice. Which side are we on? We demand and await your answer.

PingZing? Launch at The Falls Event Center Gilbert, AZ. May 17 2018 5PM.

New industry app launches signifying the importance of retaining human connection and responsiveness between agents and clients.Gilbert, AZ, United States., May 15, 2018 - May 17th, 2018 is the official launch of a new disrupter to the real estate industry. The PingZing apps release will be celebrated in the strong traditions of all great champions, a gala event, one of the biggest Gilbert, Arizona will see this year. The masterminds behind this innovative tool have extended an open invitation to everyone, welcoming people from all walks and businesses to join them in bringing into the world what they have called the re-humanization of the real estate industry.Co-founders Jerome Ralston, CEO, and Joey Almeida, COO, put together a team of innovative minds to identify current challenges facing the real estate industry. Addressing concerns of agents and consumers, issues and limitations of available technology, and exasperations over the industrys conditional dominators, PingZing aims to close the relational gap created by these tribulations. This truly is revolutionary. Real Estate apps are nothing new on their own. They are everywhere, and it seems like a new one is launched every other week. But, PingZings app IS different, Almeida says. Consumers can search for properties using the app on their smart device, or on our website. They can be assured they are viewing updated, accurate, information in real time, directly from local MLS listings. The moment they find a property they would like to view in person, they can ping one of our registered agents, and on-demand, that agent will reply or meet them within 5 minutes. Now, THAT is customer service. THAT is prioritizing responsiveness!The fact is, even with all this technological disruption and information overload, the current research proves that Real Estate will always be about relationships, connection, and responsiveness, and working with people who can be trusted, and who can be relied upon. Relationships are what make the good times more wonderful and help traverse the tough times. People say Its just business as though business isnt personal. But, "when you are passionate about what you do, love what you do, and love the people you do it with, its very, very personal. This is where most apps in the real estate industry are failing. Few, if any, preserve the critical factor of maintaining and sustaining relationships, says Ralston, Without relationships and one-on-one nurturing, people will not feel cared for, respected or valued. Without these elements, trust cannot be established; and the key to business sustainability is trust. 50 percent of sales will go to the first person to contact them, and the agent that makes at least 6 [nurtured] follow-ups has a 90 percent higher chance of getting a response and converting the online lead. (Source: Insidesales) Agents only have a 2 percent chance of converting a cold call to an appointment. The lesson is to stop making cold calls. Make warm calls using new ways to reach the decision-makers. (Source: Leap Job) Nurtured leads have a 47 percent [higher] chance of [converting] a large buying decision versus a non-nurtured lead. (Source: Annuitus Group)PingZings game-changing services streamline this essential connectivity between buyers, properties, and real estate professionals, by removing delays and frustration. The result is a direct approach fueling lasting relationships and encouraging more transactions without additional marketing, complexities or costs. "PingZing presents Agents-On-Demand technology, making agent's even more relevant in a world of data and technology, says Ralston, It promotes the improvement of our skills and fiduciary duties to our clients. It's a Win, Win. With this app, ALL REALTORS will have to up their GAME."The PingZing App is currently available on Android and will soon be released for Apple. The initial rollout of MLS listings currently spans Arizona with national expansion projected to begin within the year. The service is free for all home search users, and real estate professionals interested in registering to become an Agent-On-Demand can contact PingZing for details. Everyone can learn more about PingZing on their website: PingZing.com.PingZing has made it possible for a homebuyer to be in front of a property they love, and by clicking the Ping button, a real estate professional can meet them in 5-minutes to walk them through. Now, that is what PingZing likes to call responsive customer service! No more waiting; No more battling with open-home dramas; No more missing out on listings; and No more missed sales opportunities. The PingZing App makes homebuying effortless, as pain-free as possible, timely, engaging, experiential, and brings back the true meaning of customer service. It benefits Agents, Professionals, Buyers and Sellers alike. Visit PingZing.com, or download the app, today to learn more.PingZing835 W. Warner Rd.

Imprinting technology is an ancient technique for the reproduction of writings on appropriate supports. Since 1990s, one of the imprinting techniques, i.e., injection moulding has been used for compact disk (CD) production. More recently, the semiconductor industry is interested in imprint related techniques because of the mass production requirement of future microelectronic circuits with a possible critical dimension down to a few nanometers. At this deep nanometer scale, traditional photolithography is supposed to rule out because of the optical diffraction or material limitations. In fact, the actual minimum feature size in an integrated circuit (IC) is already less than 50 nm and the actual manufacturing systems are already extremely sophisticated and expensive.The semiconductor industry has always been looking for alternative patterning methods in order to follow Moores law, which has been formulated to predict the evolution of the technology nodes. Now, extreme UV lithography (EUV), 193 nm immersion lithography, mask less lithography (MLL) techniques and nanoimprint lithography (NIL) are considered as candidates for the so called Next Generation Lithography (NGL) at 32 nm and 22 nm nodes. In parallel, imprint technology has been promoted by a large scientific community and non-IC industry segments including high-density storage, optoelectronics, telecommunication as well as biochips or micro total analysis systems.Request For Free Sample Of The Report @Scope of the Report:This report focuses on the Nanoimprint Lithography System in global market, especially in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates  May 17, 2018  Globally, manufacturing business growth has increased by 3.7 percent (to 103.7 index points) despite the fact that half of manufacturers admit they have grown under challenging circumstances. This is one of the key findings of the annual Global Growth Index, launched today by Epicor Software Corporation, a global provider of industry-specific enterprise software to promote business growth.The Growth Index is designed to measure the state of business growth worldwide, by tracking the performance of manufacturing businesses in 14 territories. Taking last years results as a base figure (100), it has found that business growth across the globe has increased by 3.7 index points in the last 12 months, awarding the state of business growth with a score of 103.7.Contributing to this score is a significant growth in the number of manufacturers reporting strong sales/turnover in the last 12 monthsup 5 percent from last year to 70 percent overall. A similar trend was observed with profits and product ranges, with a 3 percent boost in the number of businesses growing in each of these areas compared to last year.Despite this worldwide increase in business growth performance, almost half (45%) of businesses also admitted that the growth they had experienced in the last 12 months had been challenging and one-in-four (23%) said it had been stressful. However, half (46%) of businesses globally also agree that investing in new/better technology is a strategy that will help them overcome their growing pains.Although we have seen impressive overall rates of growth this year, theres an underlying consensus among the businesses we surveyed, that growth hasnt been easy to achieve, said Scott Hays, senior vice president, product marketing, for Epicor.Nevertheless, businesses in the manufacturing sector have also affirmed that investing in the right technology will help position themselves for growth in the future. With automated systems reaching production lines around the world, cloud adoption continuing to rise, and enterprise resourcing planning (ERP) solutions transforming the way businesses manage workflows and share their data, this is a sentiment that we will track year-on-year, he concluded.Epicor Software Corporation drives business growth.

The summit comes a day after a dinner of the 28 EU leaders focused on forging a united front in the face of US President Donald Trumps capricious assertiveness on the Iran nuclear deal and trade tariffs. Six Balkan leaders from Albania, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Kosovo will attend the summit. Spains prime minister is staying away because his country, roiled by the Catalan independence drive, does not recognize Kosovos 2008 split from Serbia. We will meet our Western Balkan partners collectively for the first time in 15 years. It will be an opportunity for both sides to reaffirm that the European perspective remains the Western Balkans geostrategic choice, EU president Donald Tusk said. Tusk said the bloc would invest in infrastructure connections with the Balkans to boost development and bring them up to EU standards. I hope to bring our Western Balkan friends closer to the EU. The EU is increasingly looking to take its fate into its own hands as a transatlantic rift grows with Trump, who withdrew from the Iranian nuclear deal and wants to slap tariffs on European steel and aluminum. Tusk launched a stinging attack Wednesday on Trump, while adding that he was helping Europe in a way because it had got rid of all illusions that it can rely on Washington. Looking at the latest decisions of President Trump, someone could even think with friends like that who needs enemies, Tusk told reporters in Sofia on Wednesday. After suspending any enlargement four years ago, the European Commission recently unveiled its new strategy for the region which aims to give membership to some states by 2025the front runners to join are Montenegro and Serbia.In return Brussels wants reforms and a crackdown on corruption in the region. But the six countries are getting increasingly impatient for a path to membership. Bulgarias prime minister recently warned Russia and China will otherwise gain toeholds in the region. In the summit declaration, a draft of which was obtained by AFP, the Europeans outlined the theme of connectivity with investments in transport and infrastructure. But the declaration avoids using the words adhesion or enlargementEU code words for the path to membership of the bloc. This is not a subject for Sofia, a senior EU official insisted, adding that membership issues would be discussed in June when leaders decide whether to approve accession negotiations with Albania and Macedonia. Without a European perspective, the Balkans risk falling back into the misfortunes we saw in the 90s when Yugoslavia was tearing itself apart, European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker warned last week. The EU is also wary of admitting new members before they settle their differences, particularly in a region still bedeviled by the aftermath of the bloody break-up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. These include a bitter and long-running dispute between Macedonia and EU-member Greece over its name, which Athens insists refers to its own northern province. The leaders of Macedonia and Greece are expected to meet on the sidelines of the summit although officials played down the chance of any deal.Global Turbine Governor Market Overview, Product Type and Opportunities to 2023

5G is yet to be introduced in the global market. However, early involvement of companies in the market can benefit them in many ways and network equipment manufacturers would have developed mature products before the commercial deployment of 5G commences. A new research report by Persistence Market Research depicts the clear scenario of the upcoming 5G equipment market and the opportunities that are likely to emerge in the coming years. According to the report projections, the global 5G network equipment market is expected to witness a market value of over US$ 1,100 Mn in 2019 and increase to more than US$ 18,200 Mn in just six years. The market is anticipated to grow at an exponential CAGR of 59.3% during the forecast period 2019-2025.Inherent Challenges in Small Cells DeploymentThere are various components in the 5G equipment market including small cells, macro cells, AAU, RRU, BBU, etc. Among these components, the global market is expected to witness an explosion in the number of small cells. The macro cells that were in use till now, provide radio coverage to a wide geographical area and small cells were connected and dependent on macro cells. The major challenge in the deployment of a dense network of small cells pertains to a significant rise in the capital expenditure. These expenses would be harder to recover from telecom subscribers, considering the cost consciousness prevalent among consumers. These networks are also required to be energy efficient, weight efficient and compact.Request Report Sample@Most of the developments being carried out around the commercialization of 5G involves the use of mmWave bands, as a huge spectrum is available for telecom usage at mmWave. However, the propagation at mmWave is characterized with poor performance in Non Line-of-sight networks, and also faces signal loss owing to atmospheric factors. To meet the demands of high data rates in areas with high device density, and to counter high signal loss, carriers will have to deploy a network of small cells, thus bringing the network closer to end users. --- Analyst  IT & Telecommunication, Persistence Market ResearchCompetitive LandscapeCompanies are planning to bring 5G integrated products on the floor from 2019.

Banners called for the introduction of non-sexist education and the end of sexual violence following a number of cases of abuse against women and deep-rooted practices in universities and schools. To the rhythm of drums, dancing and the chants of No means no, the students, mostly women, filled a large section of the Alameda Avenue, in a largely peaceful protest, with only isolated incidents reported towards the end of the march. Today we are condemning what my aunt ignored and my mother experienced and kept quiet about, said one of thousands of placards. One group marched topless but with their faces covered by hoods. Its the time to say enoughenough abuse, violence and discrimination, said Maria Astudillo, 26, a student at Catholic University, where students are occupying some faculties.The first protests began a month ago in Austral University where a professor was accused of sexual harassment. Since then, nearly 20 faculties and schools, including the prestigious law department at Chile University, have joined the movement. The protests have been boosted by outrage over the death of an infant of almost two years old, who was raped by one its caregivers; and a series of accusations of sexual harassment, one of which involved a person considered a star of the TV soaps. On Friday, some 20,000 people joined a demonstration in Santiago called by the organization NiUnaMenos (Not one (woman) less) that campaigns against gender-based violence. Last month, two Chilean municipalities announced will begin issuing fines of up to hundreds of dollars to anyone guilty of street harassment of women.Bias Tire Market 2017 Segmentation with Key Players, Growth Rate and Forecast 2025

It contains key vendor profiles and comprehensively analyzes their core competencies. The report also tracks and analyzes competitive developments, including partnerships, collaborations, acquisitions, new product developments, and R&D activities in the market.Get Sample Copy of this report @Automobile is a dominant industry in the world and is growing at a significant pace. Tires are an integral component of the automobile industry. A tire is a ring-shaped or circular component that surrounds the rim of the wheel in a vehicle. Tires transfer the total load of the vehicle from its axles to the ground through the wheel and also provide traction over the surface travelled. Most of the tires are pneumatically inflated which serve as a flexible cushion that absorbs shocks when the tire rolls over a rough surface. Tires are made of fabric, wires, natural rubber, and synthetic rubber along with several chemical compounds such as carbon black. A tire consists of a body that serves as a containment vessel for compressed air, and a tread that provides traction to it. Tires are of two types: bias and radial.Bias tires have been in use since the 19th century, much prior to the radial tires. Bias tires are manufactured through an old technology which renders the tires with high load capacities at low costs. However, the technology is known to compromise on the longevity and uniformity in shape of the tires.By type of manufacturing, the bias tire market can be segmented into general bias tires and bias-belted tires. General bias tires are constructed by utilizing body ply cords that extend from beads to beads diagonally, and also by laying down of successive plies at opposing angles in a crisscross pattern and the tread is applied to this pattern. The design of general bias tires allows the complete tire body to flex with ease, thus providing a smooth ride over rough and uneven surfaces. Bias-belted tires, however, are constructed by putting a stabilizer belt bonded beneath the tread to two or more bias plies. This method of construction renders smooth ride to bias-belted tires, similar to that of general bias tires. However, bias-belted tires have low rolling resistance due to the increased tread stiffness caused by the stabilizer belt.View Full Report @By application, the bias tire market can be divided into passenger cars, trucks, and others. The passenger cars application segment consists of cars that run on bias tires. The truck application segment comprises heavy-duty trucks and lorries that run on bias tires and have to mostly ply off-road. The others application segment includes trailers, aircraft, and other vehicles using bias tires for their operations.Based on region, the bias tire market can be segregated into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to lead the market during the forecast period, primarily due to the rise in the automobile industry in the region, especially in the developing countries such as India and China. Asia Pacific is also anticipated to expand at a substantial pace during the forecast period. North America and Europe have reached the stage of maturity in bias tires and are anticipated to have slow growth during the forecast period.Some of the key companies operating in the bias tire market are Bridgestone Corporation, MICHELIN, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Pirelli & C. S.p.A., JK TYRE & INDUSTRIES LTD, Sumitomo Tires, THE YOKOHAMA RUBBER CO.,LTD., Continental AG, Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, Giti Tire, and Hankook Tire.The report offers a comprehensive evaluation of the market.

Police arriving in a dozen vehicles converged on the home of corruption-tainted Najib Razak in Kuala Lumpur beginning late Wednesday, drawing crowds of journalists and onlookers. A lawyer for Najib said officers were searching the home and a separate apartment in a money-laundering probe. The search at Najibs home continued into Thursday afternoon. The new government headed by 92-year-old former premier Mahathir Mohamad, who secured a stunning election victory last week, has vowed to probe allegations that Najib oversaw the looting of a sovereign wealth fund. But Najibs lawyer Harpal Singh Grewal said his client, 64, viewed the search as harassment. The police just took some handbags and some clothes, Harpal said. His mention of handbags prompted snickering on Malaysian social media. Najibs wife Rosmah Mansor is ridiculed over her reported penchant for jet-set overseas shopping trips and vast collection of designer handbags, clothing and jewelry, all symboliccritics sayof the ousted governments lack of concern for economically struggling citizens. Harpal said the house contained only personal belongings, though he added that police also were attempting to open a safe, the key for which had been lost. This is harassment. Whatever... is in the house is not commensurate with the allegations, Harpal told AFP. [Najib] has told them: Tell me what you want. We will give. Harpal said the search left Najib very tired and visibly upset. There was no indication that any arrests were planned. Police officials confirmed the search to AFP but declined to give details. The police action adds to a sense of rising legal peril for Najib, who was barred from leaving the country just days after the election over allegations that he, his family, and cronies looted billions from state investment fund 1MDB.Last weeks poll ended the six-decade reign of the authoritarian Barisan Nasional coalition. Mahathir had led the coalition from 1981-2003. The search began just hours after the pardon and release from prison of Anwar Ibrahim, a top figure in the now-victorious political alliance. Anwar, 70, had spent the last three years in jail under Najib. Speaking to Australian media after his release, Anwar called also for a fresh look into another shocking scandal linked to Najib. A young Mongolian woman, Altantuya Shaariibuu, was murdered and her body destroyed with explosives in Malaysia in 2006. She had been the lover of a former close Najib associate who was accused of arranging kickbacks for the purchase of French submarines in 2002 at a time when Najib was defence minister. A former Malaysian police officer Sirul Azhar Umar, who is now in Australian custody, has claimed that he was ordered by important people to carry out the killing who scapegoated him. Anwar said Sirul, who later fled to Australia after being sentenced to hang over the murder, should be allowed to face a new trial back in Malaysia to get at the truth, The Australian newspaper said. Najib has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing over the deal amid allegations that French submarine maker DCNS paid kickbacks of more than 114 million euros (US$142 million) for two Scorpene submarines. Just before the police raid, Najib went to a nearby mosque for special prayers for the Islamic holy month Ramadan, which began Thursday in Malaysia. Najib later tweeted a traditional prayer that calls for people to be forgiven of their sins. As police searched Najibs home, spectator Mimie Lai, 45, said she had travelled to the scene to see what happens to the ex-prime minister and all the scandals... involving him and his wife. I feel that finally justice is coming, somebody heard... what the people are praying for, she said. Anwars release Wednesday captivated the nation, with ecstatic supporters and journalists mobbing him amid shouts of Reformasi (Reform)his rallying cry and Anwar declaring a new dawn for Malaysia. Anwars old foe Mahathir is now an ally, and has has signaled his intention to eventually step aside so Anwar, his deputy prime minister in the 1990s, can take over.New Business Opportunities of Energy Harvesting System for Wireless Sensor Network Market 2018: Growth, Future Prospects and Competitive Analysis 2023

Specialists and Rohingya volunteers are racing against time to find women in the giant camp who are thought to be hiding their pregnancies out of shame, as fears grow that newborns could be abandoned and new mothers may die without care in coming weeks. Tosminara, herself a Rohingya refugee, has spent months coaxing these women out of the shadows, promising discretion. We tell them a password they can use when they arrive at the hospital or health post. The guard then sends the woman directly to the right spot, said Tosminara, who goes by one name. They often are shy. Sometimes they are afraid to come forward. The Myanmar army crackdown last August drove roughly 700,000 Rohingya into Bangladesh and the number of pregnancies resulting from rape is not known. But UN Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Andrew Gilmour said there would inevitably be a spike in births soon given the frenzy of sexual violence in August and September last year. Marcella Kraay of Doctors Without Borders (MSF) also said a fair number of pregnancies were expected. An estimated 48,000 women will give birth in the camps this year. Those who were raped will be delivering imminently, mostly in secret and without medical care on the floors of bamboo shacks overlooking the Bangladesh-Myanmar border. Rohingya community leader Abdur Rahim said he knew two women personally who were raped by soldiers and due within the month. He had heard rumours of many others in a similar position, he added. The Myanmar military raped them. These babies are... evidence of their crimes, he told AFP. Tosminara says she is trying her best to find these women in the heaving camps. But volunteers must contend with a deep-rooted stigma that keeps many from revealing their ordeal. Sometimes neighbours say dont do anything, it will humiliate you further. So they dont want to come, said Nurjahan Mitu, a doctor who trains midwives through a UN Population Fund program. Many have sought clinical help to terminate pregnancieslegal in Bangladesh up to 12 weeks. Others have resorted to underground options resulting in complicated, incomplete abortions, said MSF midwife Daniela Sofia. The UNs Gilmour, who toured the camps in March, said girls as young as 14 were self-inducing abortions. Sofia, the midwife, assisted a 16-year-old with an abortion after the teenager arrived at her clinic in secret, terrified that her family would find out.She said the girl was pregnant after being gang-raped by Myanmar soldiers, but had no one to support her through the trauma. Nobody knew about the rape. Her family were not aware of it, Sofia told AFP. More than half the Rohingya who have fled into Bangladesh are women and girls. Children are seen everywhere but adolescent girls are largely invisible, many kept indoors by families concerned for their welfare, experts say. Emu Roy, a Bangladeshi midwife, said a paucity of maternity professionals made it difficult to know how many women were suffering in silence in the camps. Its not possible for us to go door-to-door, she told AFP. Experts are concerned that families could forcibly marry off teenage girls to cover up a pregnancy. Others fear that newborns could be abandoned. Not only are you dealing with a woman who has been... traumatized, also there could be a child that is basically unwanted as well, Kraay said. MSF alone treated 311 rape victimswomen and girls aged between nine and 50between August and March but Kraay said this was the tip of the iceberg. The Myanmar army chief has denied allegations his forces used rape to terrorize the Muslim minority. But the military last month was placed on a UN blacklist for armies and rebels known to use rape in warjoining Nigerias Boko Haram and the Islamic State group. On top of the refugees accounts, UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict Pramila Patten said rape was used as a calculated tool of terror to force the Rohingya out of Myanmar. As the nine-month milestone looms, aid workers are ready to assign abandoned children to women who can breastfeed them, until families are found in the Rohingya community. We really want all childrenregardless of the conditions or the locations where they are bornto grow up in a happy environment, Save the Childrens Beatriz Ochoa told AFP.Global Warehouse Management Systems - key Insights Based on Product Type, End-use and Regional Demand Till 2025

Rare endocrine disorders are defined as a condition that affects fewer than 200,000 Americans at any given time. According, to the NIH (National Institutes of Health), they are more than 175 distinct rare diseases that affect the endocrine system. In Europe, any disease affecting fewer than 5 people in 10,000 is considered as rare endocrine disorders. Treatment of rare endocrine disorder is directed towards specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual and include surgery and drugs to counteract the disorders. Specific therapeutic procedures and interventions may vary depending upon particular disease. In many cases, there is no approved treatment for many rare endocrine diseases. In most of the cases, treatment is targeted towards specific symptoms.Request to Sample of Report @Rare Endocrine Disorders Treatment Market: Drivers and RestraintsFDA's Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) and Orphan Products Clinical Trials Grants Program (formerly known as Orphan Products Grants) supports the clinical development of products to be used for treating rare diseases or conditions where no current therapy exists or where the proposed product will be superior to the existing therapy. FDA provides grants for clinical studies on safety and/or effectiveness that will either result in or substantially contribute to, market approval of these products. In general, OOPD grant funding lasts for three-four years. The demand for orphan drugs is inelastic, meaning that it is relatively insensitive to any change in prices. Orphan drugs are developed for conditions where there are only a few effective treatment options. Relatively small number of affected population means that the cost of the drug may not severely strain health system. Orphan diseases are supported by well-organized patient-advocacy organizations, including the National Organization for Rare Disorders in the U.S. and EURORDIS in the EU. It may be politically untenable for a payer to refuse coverage for a promising new therapy on cost grounds.Healthcare providers do not have adequate information about the treatment and management of rare diseases. Most people suffering from rare diseases do not have any treatment options available for their condition. Awareness and understanding of rare diseases are often low and many patients struggle to find adequate information about their condition. As a result, upon diagnosis, patients may feel isolated, overwhelmed and unsupportedRare Endocrine Disorders Treatment Market: SegmentationSegmentation based on Disease TypeAcromegalyAhumada-Del Castillo SyndromeCentral Diabetes InsipidusChiari Frommel SyndromeCushing SyndromeGrowth Hormone DeficiencyOthersSegmentation based on Distribution ChannelHospital pharmaciesDrug StoresRetail StoresE-CommerceRare Endocrine Disorders Treatment Market: Market OverviewGlobal Rare Endocrine Disorders Treatment market witnessed rapid growth due to rising demand for potential needs of Rare Endocrine Disorders.

Remittances declined 9.8 percent in March to $2.36 billion from a year ago, the biggest drop in 15 years, due in part to the repatriation of Filipinos from Kuwait. The disappointing March figure, a reversal from the 4.5-percent growth in February, brought cash remittances in the first quarter to $7 billion, just up by 0.8 percent from $6.953 billion in the same period last year. It would not be entirely correct to blame the lower March remittances to the decision of President Rodrigo Duterte in February to prohibit Filipino workers from heading to Kuwait after the discovery of domestic helper Joanna Demafelis corpse in a freezer in her employers home. The labor row worsened when Mr. Duterte declared on April 30 that the ban on Filipino workers leaving for the Gulf nation was permanent and urged Filipinos there to come home if they were being mistreated.

Bangko Sentral Deputy Governor Diwa Guinigundo said the negative remittance growth in March was primarily due to base effect following the sharp increase in remittances in March 2017 at 10.7 percent. But the official conceded that the continued repatriation of migrant Filipino workers from the Middle East countries could have affected the inflows of cash remittances.Preliminary data from the Labor Department showed that some 1,124 workers were repatriated from Kuwait as of Feb. 8, 2018. The Foreign Affairs Department estimated that around 262,000 Filipinos work in Kuwait, nearly 60 percent of them domestic workers. The Philippines fortunately on Wednesday lifted the ban on migrant workers heading to jobs in Kuwait. The decision followed the signing of an agreement between Kuwait and the Philippines to regulate and protect the hundreds of thousands of Filipinos seeking higher-paid employment in the wealthy Arab state. Lessons were clearly learned from the diplomatic spat with Kuwait. The Philippines was right in protecting the interests of the Filipino workers in Kuwait. But it should not have opted for the rash decision to ban the deployment of workers to Kuwait or any other country for that matter. The stakes are just too high.Global Cinnamon Market is expected to represent a value of over US$ 3,500 Mn by the end of 2026

The global bi-axially oriented polypropylene market is undeniably fragmented; so much so, that the top seven players accounted for less than 20% of the overall market in 2015. The low shares of these manufacturers, namely, Jindal Poly Films, Taghleef Indsutries, Oben Group, Vibac Group, Cosmos Films, and Vitopel, have resulted in intense competition. Transparency Market Research predicts that the rivalry among the players is likely to be intensified by the entry of several local players.Request to view sample of this report:The degree of competition will rise from medium to high during the forecast period as an increasing number of local manufacturers lower the cost of the final product by raising the production, the author of the study states. The offerings of economical BOPP films by local or new players will enable them to compete with existing companies.The expansion of production capacities and geographical expansions form a key part of the growth strategy of several companies. A case in point would be Jindal Poly Films Ltd. In November 2015, the company announced its global expansion plan, which includes an investment of over US$15 mn and the addition of three new BOPP production lines in various facilities across India, the U.S., and Europe.Demand for Flexible Packaging Directly Impacting Demand for BOPPBOPP is increasingly employed in flexible packaging owing to its inherent advantages such as ease of printing, low cost, inertness to food packaging, and low moisture transmission.The demand for BOPP will be in line with that for flexible packaging in the near future, the author of the study predicts. The demand for flexible packaging has been on the rise thanks to the rapid growth in the pharmaceutical, food and beverages, electronics, and personal care industries and this growth is sure to impact the demand for BOPP in the coming years. The BOPP market is also fueled by the low cost and recyclability of BOPP films.BOPP Market to be Deterred by Fluctuating Prices of Raw MaterialsThe prices of BOPP are primarily dependent on the prices of polypropylene, which have a strong correlation with crude oil. As a result, any fluctuations in the prices of crude oil impact those of BOPP.

Some of the other prominent players are Masan Group, Mongolrostsvetmet LLC., British Fluorspar Ltd, Seaforth Mineral & Ore Co., Inc., MINERSA GROUP, Kenya Fluorspar Company Ltd., China Kings Resources Group Co., Ltd., and Mongolrostsvetmet LLC. Leading players are relentlessly investing in research and development of high-performance products, to stay ahead of the pack.The global fluorspar market is marked by glut in various regions accounting for the high intensity of competition. Over the years, the entry of new players is likely to up the level of competition. The emergence of players in regions such as Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa to tap opportunities on account of enormous fluorspar reserves in Africa and China is further expected to raise the ante in the forthcoming years. Intense competition notwithstanding, a number of players are interested in manufacturing inexpensive products to attract customers in price-sensitive regions, in order to gain a better foothold in the market.The global fluorspar market is projected to rise at a lackluster CAGR of 2.7% from 2017 to 2025. The market stood at US$1,505.3 million in 2016 and is anticipated to touch a valuation of US$1,860.8 million by the end of the assessment timeline.The major product types are acidspar, metspar, ceramic, lapidary grade, optical grade, and fluorspar. Of these, acidspar or acid grade fluorspar is projected to be the most attractive segment and accounted for the major market share in 2016. The attractiveness of the segment can be attributed primarily to a large number of applications of the high-purity material in the chemical industry. It is used widely in manufacturing hydrofluoric acid (HF), which is then used to make numerous useful chemicals, notably hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC).Geographically, Asia Pacific leads as it held the leading share of the global market in 2016. The regional market is anticipated to hold its sway throughout the forecast period. The substantial automotive manufacturing activities in various economies of the region has spurred the demand for aluminum and steel, which has bolstered the uptake of fluorspar.The global fluorspar market is driven primarily by the substantial use of fluorspar in making fluorochemicals, which have widespread applications as refrigerants in the warming, ventilation, and cooling industry. The wide use of fluorspar in making a range of useful industrial chemicals, notably HFC, HCFC, fluoropolymers, and cryolite is boosting the market. The extensive application of fluorspar in the manufacturing processes of aluminum and steel is a noteworthy factor accentuating the growth of the market. The vast strides taken by infrastructural development in various developing economies has spurred the demand for aluminum and steel, which is bolstering the uptake of fluorspar. The substantial number of applications of ceramic grade fluorspar for making various products for consumer markets such as specialty glass, enamelware, and glazes and surface treatments is also providing a robust impetus to the growth of the market.The potential number of specialized applications of fluorspar, such as in making electrolytes used for lithium-ion batteries, has opened up abundant promising opportunities for market. Furthermore, the use of material having high clarity for making microscopes, telescopes, and camera lens is expected to accentuate the growth of the overall market. The growth of the hydrofluoric acid market is likely to have a direct bearing on the growth of the overall fluorspar market.Complete Report Details with List of Tables and Figures @The international thrust on phasing out the production of ozone-depleting substances, including hydrochlorofluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons, is likely to cripple the growth of the market to an extent. For instance, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer has resulted in some serious efforts by several nations to look for alternatives to HCFCs and HFCs. This led a number of well-off and industrialized countries a pledge to cut down their production and consumption of these compounds. Be that as it may, the remarkably high demand for steel and aluminum from the construction industry is likely to sustain the growth of the market.The global fluorspar market is segmented based on:Product TypeAcidsparMetsparCeramic GradeOptical GradeLapidary GradeApplicationAluminum ProductionSteel ProductionHydrofluoric AcidConcrete AdditivesLithium-Ion BatteryRegionNorth AmericaS.Rest of North AmericaEuropeGermanyItalySpainK.BulgariaRest of EuropeAsia PacificChinaJapanASEANRest of Asia PacificLatin AmericaBrazilRest of Latin AmericaAbout Market Research Reports Search Engine (MRRSE)Market Research Reports Search Engine (MRRSE) is an industry-leading database of Market Research Reports.

Ltd.Pune - 411028Maharashtra, IndiaOur challenge was to find a molecule thats almost exclusively present on activated T cells  not just any T cell  because there are many T cells that just sit around resting, Gambhir said. By coincidence, the molecule he found was the same one that Levy harnessed in his vaccine, a protein on the surface of activated T cells called OX40.

Boiled down, Levys cancer vaccine is a package of two stimulating agents. One coaxes T cells into producing OX40 on their surface; the other binds to OX40 and enables the cell to engage with tumor cells. Together the tag-team agents essentially prod loafing immune cells into high gear.

Once the tracer is injected, it scours the entire body, including the immune system, in search of cancer-killing T cells  but only those laden with OX40. Upon meeting, the tracer binds to OX40 and, when hitched together, the radioactive complex glows under a PET scan, revealing only those T cells that have been successfully activated, ready to ravage the tumor. If the scan comes back with low to no signal in the tumor or tumors, its an indication that doctors (in theory, as the vaccine and tracer have only been tested in mice) ought to reevaluate the immunotherapy dosage or change the treatment course altogether.

The power of PET

Gambhirs lab tested the tracer first in cell cultures. They found that the compound was able to suss out activated T cells about 95 percent of the time. Later in mouse models, they still saw success overall, but it was a bit more subdued. In a group of about 50 mice, the PET tracer performed accurately upward of 90 percent of the time.

Its really only now that this tactic is coming into play; the PET scan is usually focused on assessing only the tumor cells, said Gambhir. But now, with new imaging agents like this, were able to image the immune cells, and thats really the second half of the equation.

Gambhir acknowledges that one could simply wait to see physical changes in the tumor volume to determine whether the therapy is working. But that poses a problem. It may take weeks, or even months, to definitively see whether the cancer is responding to the treatment. Say the vaccine doesnt work. In the time it took to find out, the cancer would have continued to spread, becoming more molecularly heterogeneous and even more difficult to treat the next time around. Knowing sooner gives the patient more time to try other options, hopefully leading to better outcomes.

Clinical trial

Levy has moved his vaccine into a phase-1 clinical trial. In the next few months, Gambhir plans to move this new OX40 tracer into that same clinical trial, so that the tracer and therapy can be tested in conjunction.

We were able to predict what was going to happen in mice several weeks out by looking only 48 hours from the start of the immunotherapy. We could figure out which mouse was going to respond to the immunotherapy and which wasnt before they actually did or did not respond, Gambhir said. And thats exactly what were trying to do. Were trying to show that this approach can, in humans, allow us to image early and thereby let us evolve the therapy quickly.

Were trying to show that this approach can, in humans, allow us to image early and thereby let us evolve the therapy quickly.

Gambhir also is pursuing work to establish the OX40 tracer as a diagnostic for other applications, such as the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis. Its important to remember that this is a really general approach to visualizing activated T cells  this shouldnt be thought of as specifically for cancer immunotherapy alone, he said. Thats just one important application.

Sleeping Sickness is the most common life-threatening infection encountered in patient populations affected in rural areas particularly in African countries. These infections are not severe but they are often neglected leading to death of the affected person. Sleeping sickness is caused due to parasitic causative agent called Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. This causative agent is carried by Tsetse flies that causes the most severe form of illness. The infection carried by Tsetse fly spreads through the blood after the fly bites are encountered. It causes inflammation of the brain and often effects the central nervous system if left untreated which even leads to death. Some of the major sleeping sickness symptoms include anxiety, mood swings, fever, headache, insomnia, weakness, swollen lymph nodes, sweating and swollen red nodule at the site of fly bite. A variety of diagnostic tests are carried out to confirm detection of parasites in the blood stream or lymph, thereby driving the growth of sleeping sickness testing market. The major diagnostic tests for the detection of sleeping sickness are broadly categorized into active screening tests and stage diagnostic tests.Request for Table of Contents @Active screening tests constituting the major share of sleeping sickness testing market include agglutination test for Trypanosomiasis, lymph node aspiration, dipstick testing, lateral flow test, rapid diagnostic tests for detection and confirmation of amplified Trypanosoma brucei DNA, and others. Out of these, card agglutination test for Trypanosomiasis (CATT) is the most common diagnostic test for detection of sleeping sickness, which dominated the sleeping sickness testing market. A rapid diagnosis followed by appropriate treatment is required to be done in order to control sleeping sickness. A large number of laboratory tests and microbiological screening tests are performed to detect and confirm the presence of disease causing antigens in blood samples obtained from patients.However, stage diagnostic tests include blood smear testing, cerebrospinal fluid testing, and complete blood count test to determine the stage of disease in the patient. The sleeping sickness testing is done on the basis of characteristic stage of the infection including early stage called as hemolymphatic stage, and progressive stage called as oligosymptomatic phase. Also, sleeping sickness testing is done using molecular techniques mainly PCR and biochemical techniques including agglutination tests and ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay), playing vital role in sleeping sickness testing market. Medicinal drugs including Eflornithine, Melarsoprol, Pentamidine, and Suramin are used as major treatment drugs for sleeping sickness.Growing technological advancement in molecular and clinical microbiology techniques coupled with rising incidence of sleeping sickness in the rural areas are the primary factors driving the sleeping sickness testing market.

Pacing Leads are used for the transmission of electrical stimulation signals from the pacemaker to the heart itself. Pacing leads and its ability of the transmission of electrical signals to the hearts are essential for the success of any pacemaker operation or device. Pacing leads having demand of biostability, biocompatibility and electrical requirement. In addition, pacing leads are ideal for long term implantable devices. Pacing leads are used during cardiovascular treatment. Pacing leads are minimally invasive medical devices that enable physicians to map the electrical system of the heart. When patient`s heart is not having sinus rhythm the cardiac output is not optimum. As pacing leads are placed to the myocardium after the cardiac surgery. The electrical activity of the heart can be paced and sensed once the pacing leads are placed and connected to pacemaker.Pacing leads can be sited on the right ventricle, atrium or in both. When pacing leads are placed only in atrium or ventricle then it is known as single chamber pacing while when pacing leads are placed in both chamber then it is known as dual chamber pacing. In single chamber pacing nearly invariably refers to employing the pacing lead on the right ventricle to make sure that the ventricles sufficiently pump blood through the body. However, if the ventricles or atria are not synchronized with each other, this often results in low cardiac output.

The Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act is aimed at punishing cyber fraud and illegal hacking.

Under the new law, anyone who intentionally publishes false, misleading or fictitious data or misinforms, with or without any financial gain, commits an offense and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine of up to $50,000 or imprisonment for up to 10 years.

The bill also imposes stiff fines and jail terms for hacking, computer fraud, and cyber-espionage, publishing child pornography or sending pornographic content via any electronic means.

The new law allows authorities to search and seize stored computer data, and to collect and intercept data real-time.

Rights activists have warned about an increasingly hostile and oppressive environment for journalists in Kenya.

New York-based media rights watchdog the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) warned that the bill could criminalize free speech, with journalists and bloggers likely to be among the first victims if it is signed into law. Last week, CPJ urged President Kenyatta not to assent to the bill.

Article 19, a London-based freedom of expression watchdog, in an April statement, said the bill contains several broadly defined offenses with harsh sentences that could dramatically chill freedom of expression online in Kenya.

Kennedy Kachwanya, Kenyan bloggers association chairman says writers are foreseeing a situation where the government will in the future dismiss information published against them that is not positive as fake news.Chitosan Gauzes & Granules Market Share and Growth Factors Impact Analysis 2017 - 2025

Pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) is a well-known fungicide derived from nitrobenzene. It is solid with off-white or yellow color and musty odor. The color of PCNB depends on its purity. PCNB was formerly synthesized in laboratory in 1868. In 1930, Bayer AG introduced PCNB to the agriculture industry as a temporary substitute to mercurial pesticides. PCNB is produced by chlorination of nitrobenzene in chlorosulfuric acid at temperature ranging from 60C to 70 C and uses iodine as a catalyst. It can also be manufactured by the nitration of chlorinated benzenes. Hexachlorobenzene is one of the by-products of the synthesis of PCNB. It is considered as hazardous as PCNB.View Report Preview:PCNB Market: Drivers and RestraintsIncrease in population in many parts of Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa is boosting the demand for food in these regions. Limited unutilized land area can be brought into cultivation; hence, increase of crop yield is the only viable alternative to boost food production. In order to meet this objective, countries in developing regions are increasing their use of fertilizers and pesticides. Rise in consumption of fertilizers and pesticides is, in turn, likely to augment the demand for PCNB. There is growing public sentiment against the use of synthetic chemical based fertilizers and pesticides in farming. Developed countries such as the U.S., Germany, the U.K., France, and Canada are estimated to be highly affected by these developments due to the rise in popularity of organic farming in these countries.PCNB is used as fungicide to suppress the growth of fungi in various crops such as cotton, rice, and seed grains. It is also used to prevent the formation of slime in industrial waters. Residual amounts of the compound and its metabolites can be found in crops. The degradation products, PCA, and PCTA have been found in farming soils and river sediments. PCNB is used as soil fungicide in lawns and ornamental crops. It is also used in seed treatment of field crops and vegetables (e.g., barley, corn, cotton, oats, rice, and wheat). Furthermore, PCNB is used as slime inhibitor in industrial waters.PCNB Market: SegmentationBased on application, the PCNB market can be segmented into:Soil FungicideSeed FungicideHerbicideIndustrial Water TreatmentOthersPCNB is a contact fungicide, which is used for different types of field crops, horticultural crops, certain vegetables, in greenhouses and to control diseases caused by fungal infections. The fungicide is primarily effective against soil-borne pathogens. It is also effective against foliar diseases. PCNB is also employed as seed treatment pesticide for crop seeds such as peanuts, corn, soybeans, cotton, and grain.Request to view Sample Report:PCNB Market: Region-wise OutlookBased on geography, the global PCNB market can be segregated into North America, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be a highly attractive region for the PCNB market during the forecast period. Growth in consumption of pesticides in countries such as China, India, and Indonesia is likely to boost the demand for PCNB in the next decade. Implementation of stringent environmental regulations in North America and Europe is expected to lead to sluggish demand for PCNB based pesticides. Many developed countries have already banned the usage of PCNB based pesticides. However, restricted use of the chemical as fungicide is permitted in the U.S., Canada, Israel, New Zealand, and Australia.About UsTransparency Market Research (TMR) is a market intelligence company, providing global business information reports and services.

*****

A Vancouver teenager who started a wildfire last year that torched beloved Columbia River Gorge trails and views, many of which remain closed to the public, is set to return to court Thursday.

The teen's hearing, announced when he admitted guilt in February, will be held to determine restitution required in the Eagle Creek fire case. Firefighting and other costs total about $40 million, and many gorge businesses were set back by the wildland blaze, which came amid the busy tourist season.

The court previously asked people who lost money because of the fire to send their information to the Hood River County Juvenile Department before the hearing, and legal experts have said the judge is obligated to order restitution for the full amount of the damage.

In similar cases, courts have worked out payment plans, typically a tiny fraction of what is owed. Parents also can be held liable for some of the costs.

Meanwhile, many trails on the gorges Oregon side remain closed.

Here's what you need to know about the aftermath of the Eagle Creek fire.

Mark Graves/Staff

First, a primer

The Eagle Creek fire began in early September, eventually covered nearly 49,000 acres and was declared 100 percent contained in November

The blaze torched some of the most beloved trails and views in the gorge, closed businesses, displaced people for days and shut down Interstate 84 and the Historic Columbia River Highway, part of which remains closed.

The teen admitted guilt and was sentenced in February to five years of probation and 1,920 hours of community service.

The highway

Six miles of the Historic Columbia River Highway are still closed, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation, and the agency doesnt have a timeline for reopening it.

The agency says the stretch of highway, which unlocks access to Horsetail Falls, Wahkeena Falls and the Oneonta Tunnel, among other destinations  is still dangerous. Over 1,000 cubic yards of rocks, trees and limbs fell on the section during a three-week stretch last month, according to the transportation agency.

Workers have removed about 5,000 hazard trees from along Interstate 84 and 7,000 from the historic highway, the transportation agency says.

Costs

The state transportation agency alone has spent $8 million on fire recovery, and the agency projects its costs will rise above $12 million.

The Forest Service and Oregon Department of Forestry firefighting and hazard mitigation costs total an estimated $20 million.

The State Fire Marshal's office spent more than $6.57 million protecting homes and other structures from the blaze.

And Oregon State Parks estimates the fire will cost the agency $1 million over the course of a multi-year response. The agency has incurred $160,000 in expenses, supplies and labor and is projecting to spend $325,000 more on its next set of projects stemming from the fire. The agencys lost revenue is estimated at $88,000.

Those figures dont include costs to gorge businesses that closed or lost customers when the fire hit during the busy tourist season.

Were live in the Eagle Creek fire burn area, as crews work on the Pacific Crest Trail. Posted by The Oregonian on Thursday, February 1, 2018

Follow along on a Pacific Crest Trail hike

The Oregonian/OregonLive accompanied a group of workers earlier this year on an excursion along a closed part of the PCT, as its known, getting an on-the-ground look at conditions inside the burned area for the first time.

The nearly 6-mile hike, which also included time on the Herman Bridge and Herman Creek trails, showed hearty evidence of the historic blaze: Scorched rocks sat exposed, their mossy covering burned away, and downed trees looked like they weathered a massive bonfire. Wide swaths of greenery had been singed.

But moss and other vegetation lined parts of the trail. The canopy remained green. And the PCT offered many of the same redeeming qualities it did before the blaze.

Watch a video from the trail above and read more about the trip here.

including "Romeo and Juliet," "Love's Labor's Lost" and "Oklahoma!"

The system helps eliminate bacteria, viruses and pathogens that can leave businesses and community members impacted for days, the company stated.

"A!BM purchased the Clorox Total 360 System to enhance our cleaning offerings and further safeguard against common bacteria and viruses, including difficult-to-treat infections like Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and fast-spreading stomach bugs like norovirus - the culprit of many illnesses we saw across Michigan last year," said John Markey, CBSE, executive vice president, A!BM.

The viruses and bacteria that lead to these outbreaks can survive on surfaces from days to months, making cleaning and disinfecting surfaces an important first line of defense when it comes to protecting clients' facilities, the company stated.

The system uses a patented electrostatic delivery system to deliver Clorox disinfecting and sanitizing solutions. It works by charging and atomizing the Clorox disinfecting or sanitizing solution, delivering a powerful flow of charged particles that are attracted to surfaces with a force stronger than gravity, allowing the solution to easily reach and uniformly coat surfaces, including hotspots where trigger spray technology might easily miss.

"With this new technology, we can cover more surfaces, quickly and even the hardest-to-reach places that may be missed through manual cleaning, leaving illness-causing germs behind," Markey said. "Since we began providing our services to schools, not a single school has had absences as a result of the flu. The Clorox Total 360 System evolves our cleaning protocols to help ensure this record continues and provides assurance that we are safeguarding all environments. This system allows us to do our job better, keeping our clients, their employees and facility guests safer, healthier and happier."Music has been a large part of Bruce Dundas' life, and now he is able to share his experience with a larger audience. The former Midlander published his first book, "Learn Bass Fiddle" earlier this year.

Dundas grew up in a family that valued music in all of its forms. His father played violin while his brother played fiddle in the 1930s. Dundas himself took piano lessons, played trumpet in his school band and continues to play button-box accordion and piano accordion. But bass fiddle holds a special place in his heart.

"It was just convenient. It doesn't take as much practice to play it as with other instruments," he said.

Dundas, who lived in Midland from 1957 to 1961, picked up the bass fiddle after he returned from serving his country in the military in 1955. His brother taught him how to play three chords. Those three chords were all he needed while he joined a country band. Shortly thereafter, Dundas learned a couple more chords and picked up additional chords as he continued to play.

He went on to perform in a few recordings and teach bass at music festivals. The idea for writing a book came to him nearly 20 years ago.

"When I was teaching in Evart, people were asking me if I had written anything," Dundas said.

The idea intrigued Dundas so much that, during one winter while he was snow birding in Florida, he wrote and self-published a guide about how to play the bass fiddle. While he was able to sell a few copies at different festivals, larger publishing houses were not interested in mass-producing Dundas' work until about a year ago.

Dorrance Publishing, a company based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, contacted Dundas and expressed interest in formally printing "Learning Bass Fiddle." Dundas, who now lives in The Villages, Florida, leapt at the chance and now hopes that his book will be able to help novice bass fiddle players find their rhythm.

"I hope they'll be able to play first and fifth (chords)," he said.

In addition, the book offers instructions about techniques including circle of fifths and bass runs where an instrumentalist plays chords in sequence.

"It gives you a little more variation," Dundas explained.

"Learn Bass Fiddle" is now available on Amazon as well as Dorrance Publishing Co.'s website, www.dorrancepressroom.comThe Creative 360 gallery was packed with artists and guests June 30 for the 8th annual ArtFest 55 festival. Designed to celebrate the creativity of Michigan residents age 55 and older, the evening included an exhibition opening, talent show and writing competition all with awards. This record-breaking year included 190 entries from 19 cities across Michigan from as far away as Rock in the Upper Peninsula. There were 165 art pieces from 98 artists; 22 written pieces from 12 writers, and three performances with five performers. More than 200 people attended.

Curator Colleen Reed who hung the exhibition said, "This is the highest number of pieces ever included in an exhibit here. It was a challenge to organize the art in a way that allowed each piece to shine."

Donovan Entrekin, art school director of the Flint Institute of Arts, served as jurist for the exhibit. Entrekin received his MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. His undergraduate concentration was painting and printmaking, and graduate studies focused on painting and sculpture. "This is a joyous exhibit with many very good artists," he said.

Entrekin's job was not an easy one. He first had to choose the art that would be accepted into the exhibition, and then choose the winners. Entrekin's criteria for inclusion was that the piece had to demonstrate a good use of the medium and also exhibit an element of mystery. Ultimately, 108 pieces grace the gallery. Winners in each category include:

Best 2D: Robert Iwamasa (Midland) for his acrylic painting The Watchman.

Honorable Mention: Alice Wilsey (Saginaw) for her watercolor Earth's Edge.

Best 3D: Roger Reichmann (Midland) for his vintage assemblage Euclid's Box.

Honorable Mention: James MaloneBeach (Mount Pleasant) for his piece called Suffer the Children, a fabricated bronze piece with doll's face and hands holding a missile. "This is a statement about the children we send to war," MaloneBeach explained. They come back damaged."

Best Photography: Carol Harris Buller (Midland) for Zuhoren, a photograph of a sculpture in Salzburg, Austria. The word zuhoren is on the wall behind the sculpture. The word translates to listen, attend to or take heed.

Honorable Mention: Leeny MaloneBeach (Mount Pleasant) for her self-portrait I wasn't using it anyway. "Even though I elected the mastectomy, I resented the cancer that made it necessary," she said.

Best in Show: Jim Matherne (Essexville) for his watercolor Good Boy. "I started out painting with the idea of a lake walk, but, as most of my paintings go, things change!"

Luana Russell and Sarah Yoder, retired English teachers for Midland Public Schools served as jurists for the writing competition. They read through 22 pieces of writing that included memoir, poetry and short stories without knowing who wrote them.

"Luana and I were impressed by the excellent quality of writing exemplified by a clear focus, fresh and effective imagery and imagination," said Yoder. "The winners also elicited genuine emotion from us."

"There were several especially fine entries in poetry this year," said Russell. "That was the toughest category."

The written word winners are:

Poetry: From Joy written by Nancy Snell (Midland)

Memoir: Two Bits for Your Thoughts by Jim Crissman (Midland)

Story: The Good Old Days also by Jim Crissman

The talent competition included original songs, guitar playing and singing. Laura Brigham (Midland) and Janet Martineau (Saginaw) served as judges. Each act won a prize as follows.

First: Mike Zurech (Midland) for his guitar performance.

Second: Nancy Nickerson (Midland) for her original song Star Spangled Fishing. Accompanist: Ginger Kruger

Third: Darby and Jerry Gwisdala (Midland) for their performance of the song, Far Side Banks of Jordan.

The ArtFest 55 exhibition and creative writing entries will be on display through Aug. 27. There is never a charge to visit a Creative 360 exhibition. Everyone is welcome.

Creative 360 is located at 1517 Bayliss St. in Midland.

People who would like to be part of the ArtFest 55 festival in 2018, should start planning. Call for entries goes out in March for the June event.

Creative 360 is a not-for-profit community arts and wellness organization founded in 1994. Its mission is to create environments that allow people of all ages and abilities to experience the creative process, and to enhance physical, mental and spiritual wellness through the arts and humanities. The organization's core values of inclusiveness, creativity, respect and community drive the culture at Creative 360. Activities at Creative 360 are supported in part by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, Midland Area Community Foundation and the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation.Delta College has its sights set on establishing a new $12.5 million Midland Center -- possibly in downtown -- to replace its aging facility at 1025 Wheeler St.

Upgrading its Midland Center has become the college's top capital priority following approval of a satellite campus project in downtown Saginaw that is now under construction.

Delta officials say renovating or replacing its current Midland Center, built in 1962 as a Catholic girl's high school is necessary to meet community expectations and match the educational standards of its main campus.

According to extensive analysis provided by longtime Delta Facilities Management Director Larry Ramseyer prior to his retirement on Dec. 31, 2017, the cost to re-purpose, redesign and renovate the 56-year-old Midland Center could exceed the cost to build new, especially when future operating costs are factored into the equation.

"Delta is currently looking at options right now and is planning on coming to a resolution on the path forward later this summer," said Nick Bovid, Delta's new facilities management director. "The aging 1962 building requires extensive renovations to the existing structure and property to an estimated cost of about $7.78 million. Specifically, the parking lot and roof are in pretty rough shape and the classrooms were originally built to be used as a Catholic girl's high school. In addition, the boiler for the building is original from 1962."

Delta chose to build, rather than renovate or repurpose another building when it embarked on a $12.7 million Saginaw Center project in the city's downtown and appears to favor a similar model for expanding and improving its Midland presence. Moving to an urban core, like it's doing in Saginaw, positions Delta to better serve disadvantaged populations.

Besides being cost-prohibitive to renovate its Midland building, college officials aren't keen on its location in a residential neighborhood a fair distance away from major transportation arteries US-10 and M-20. Accessibility is a hallmark of community colleges and there is a great deal of properties available on more centrally located, easier to reach sites within the City of Midland.

"I'd say renovations are still a possibility, but it's a very unlikely possibility," Bovid said.

According to the Ramseyer-led research, Midland developers have expressed an interest in helping Delta move to the downtown. Delta officials said they are impressed with Midland's city redevelopment efforts, coordinated by Momentum Midland, which has seen many properties surrounding Dow Diamond repurposed to spur local and regional economic development opportunities.

"There are a lot of great things happening in downtown -- from the new streetscape to Gratzi (Italian restaurant), to the re-dedication of the Tridge and the forthcoming Poseyville Riverside Park," Bovid said. "From the perspective as a facilities leader -- and also a resident of Midland -- it's exciting to see and experience all the development efforts that are happening."

College trustees have made upgrading its Midland Center the school's No. 1 project for its five-year capital outlay plan.Mallory Fisher has wrapped up her last round of final exams and is about to pack her bags for her job in Texas. Within weeks, she will begin a full-time position in The Dow Chemical Co.'s Finance Development Program for Accountants in Houston, where she spent time as an intern last summer.

A Midland native, Fisher began her journey at SVSU in 2014; she graduated May 11. She quickly became an active member of the campus community and earned a number of accolades during her time as a student. Most recently, she was named the Outstanding Accounting Student Representative by SVSU's chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants.

"Honestly, being singled out by such an outstanding organization for work in my field was the perfect bookend to my time as a Cardinal," Fisher said. "These past four years have been filled with endless studying and self-motivation to succeed in the field of accounting."

Fisher parlayed that self-motivation into a position with Dow as part of their college co-op program in 2015. As a tax department co-op, she had the opportunity to travel to Lake Jackson, Texas, in May 2017 to participate in a summer internship with Dow's Texas Operations Controllers.

There, Fisher was involved in several projects that would span the length of her 12-week internship including one that required her to analyze data that would then be used by the Texas site controller and the vice president of Gulf Stream operations to make management decisions for the Dow sites in Texas.

Lowell McLaughlin, associate director of Dow Chemical's department of U.S. State and Local and Canadian Property Tax, spoke highly of Fisher's attitude and aptitude.

"Mallory has been a standout college co-op and intern at Dow," said McLaughlin, Fisher's supervisor. "She has a great work ethic and positive 'can do' attitude that has allowed her to grow and flourish in her roles."

Fisher explained that it was the support of McLaughlin and the Dow team based in Midland that gave her the confidence to take such a huge step in her life.

"Moving 1,400 miles from my family, friends, coworkers and community was a huge step for me, personally and professionally," Fisher said. "When Dow asked me if I would be willing to work in Texas, I immediately knew that this was a perfect opportunity to be daring, challenge myself, and step outside my comfort zone."

Her professors noticed the difference. Betsy Pierce, assistant professor of accounting and faculty advisor to Beta Gamma Sigma, feels confident Fisher is headed down the right path as she continues to gain momentum in her career trajectory.

"After her internship last summer, she came back completely energized and excited about the idea that she might be able to go back to Houston for a full-time job," Pierce said. "As it turns out, that's exactly where she's going. It's just so clear to me that she has a true love for working in the corporate field and we couldn't be more excited for her."

Fisher is among the 1,083 individuals to graduate from the university this month. Students completing degrees in the colleges of Arts & Behavioral Sciences, Education, and Science, Engineering & Technology took part in the ceremony on May 12 at O'Neill Arena of the Ryder Center.

Fisher is the outgoing president of SVSU's chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, the international honor society recognizing those who have achieved academic excellence in business-related programs, and the outgoing vice president of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. Fisher also completed Cardinal Business Edge, a program that aims to strengthen the business and leadership skills of a select group of high-performing incoming freshmen.

Fisher hopes to inspire others to step out of their comfort zones to find success. She recently was invited to co-host the College of Business and Management's Best in Business Awards Night, and thought back to the days when such an opportunity might have passed her by.

"During my freshman year, I admittedly hated public speaking," Fisher said. "I remember my professor told me that, as an effective communicator, I'd be invited to speak frequently because people know that I have something important to say. Co-hosting the awards ceremony in front of my professors, administrators, mentors, local business leaders, and my peers was such a great example of how much I've grown as a Cardinal and a businesswoman.

"I like being known as the girl who always has a smile on her face and finds joy in life," Fisher said. "That's the person I strive to be in and out of work."(If Ora Flaningam hadn't decided on a career in the chemical field, he would have been an historian. His genealogy of the Flaningam family line goes back to Patrick Flaningam who emigrated to the United States. Over the years, there have been changes in the spelling with some opting to write Flaningham. Some decided on Flaningan. But their history remains that of the Flaningam patriarch Patrick. Ora's story continues.)

Working his way through college, Ora Flaningam worked at Lapeer Metal Products making parts for Chevy autos. At Michigan Tech, he lived in the Douglass Houghton dorm and worked on the switchboard from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. for two years. There was just the one switchboard for the entire school.

After graduation, he enrolled in a master's program and money ran out again. A counselor at the college told him about a teaching position at a small college named Suomi College in Hancock, not far from Houghton where Ora was living. Originally Suomi had been established as a Finnish seminary, but after a few years it became a junior college. The teaching position covered chemistry, algebra and trigonometry.

"I did not want to teach," Ora said. "I was very introverted but I went over there intending to say no but I said yes. I became the department's chemistry, algebra and trigonometry teacher. I was not very good when I started but I was very good when I finished. I had to keep a week or two ahead of my students. When my students graduated they rented me a master's robe and I marched down the aisle with the other professors. It was a very, very small school. I started with 20 but ended up with 13."

Reflecting on his social life while at Michigan Tech, he said, "I never dated much. I think I dated twice the whole time I was at Houghton. I didn't have money. I didn't have a car. The last year I bought a clunky little Studebaker to drive from Houghton to Hancock. Some of the girls were taking chemistry because they were getting a home economics degree."

Donalee got her degree in physics and mathematics. He laughed and said, "I was never afraid to say my wife was smarter than me."

Continuing his story, Ora said, "I had taken typing in high school because a teacher suggested that it would come in handy for writing notes in college. I interviewed seven or eight companies but only Dow Corning in Midland offered me a job. In 1960 I moved to Midland and rented a room from Mrs. C. V. High on M-20.

Ora worked just six months at Dow Corning when he was called up to serve for six months at Fort McClellan in Alabama. In college he had joined the ROTC because he got $50 a month for doing so and now he was a second lieutenant and had to spend six months in active duty. He served in the Chemical Corps. He then returned to his job at Dow Corning but he was still in the Reserves for the next four years.

Now settled in the small town of Midland, he decided to join a group at the Memorial Presbyterian Church called The Young People's Business Group. That was where he met Donalee Graham. They began dating and in 1962 were engaged. They married the following year in April.

Their first home was on Kent Street and then they bought a house at 3200 Washington Street on the corner of Love Street. Just before Lian was born in 1968, they purchased a home on Stewart Road and Ora continues living there. His daughter Lian lives in Tennessee.

"Donalee liked the theatre and got me interested in it," Ora said. "There was no Midland Center for the Arts then. We met in the Larkin Street Playhouse, originally a church. Then for three years we used the auditorium and stage at the Grace A. Dow Library. I ran the lights and the sound. We stored our flats and scenery and props in the area that is now the TV studio. Then we moved to the Midland Center for the Arts and I was coordinator for the sound in both the little theatre and in the main auditorium. I lost 25 pounds in six months running from the stage up to where the sound equipment was in the main auditorium. I would make as many as 14 trips in one evening."

Donalee directed a lot of the plays. She also held the positions of chairman of the Theatre Guild and historian of the Theatre Guild. Ora received the Stage Crafters Award in 1971. Donalee received the Stage Crafters Award in 1973. The award is a metal bolt about 18 inches long from the Larkin Street Playhouse. The bolts were saved at the time the property was demolished.

Lian attended rehearsals in her baby carrier so she grew up in the theatre.

Donalee worked as a chemist in the physics lab for Dow until Lian was born. After their daughter was in school, Donalee went back to Central Michigan University and got her master's degree in computer science.

In 1998, Oa retired from Dow Corning after working there for 38 years. Donalee and he then spent a month in Australia.

"The Australians are a lovely, lovely people," Ora said. "After we returned in 1998, we bought a house in Florida and lived part of the year here in Midland and part of the year in Florida."

Donalee died in December 2002.

"We went to Jacksonville, Florida to have her condition evaluated for a liver transplant and they said her body couldn't stand the operation," Ora said. "She died three days later."

The market had dropped for selling houses so Ora continued going to Florida until 2014 when the market rebounded a little and he sold their house.

This year, Ora will receive his 60-year pin from the American Chemical Society as an emeritus member.

Through the years Ora has done extensive work in genealogy creating a permanent record of history before it is lost. One of his many projects was putting all of the Midland Remembers columns from 1996 through 2016 on a CD rom with an every-name index.

On Aug. 19, 2017 Ora was master of ceremonies at the Lapeer High School Alumni Reunion of those who graduated in 1952 and 1953. He spoke of the tremendous advances that he has lived to see and enjoy. He ended his speech with, "It has been an incredible 65 years, and looking back they were great years and I feel that I could not have lived at a better time in history."

Life has been good to him and to the girl he loved.Police Raids in Nightclubs- Common Practice or Excessive Force?

By Vladimer Napetvaridze

On 12 may, Georgian police raided two leading clubs in Tbilisi. The heavy-handed tactics of the police caused an outcry among huge part of Georgian youngsters who organized protest rally with demand for resignation of the Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili and the Interior Minister Giorgi Gakharia.As the chairman of the Georgian Parliament Irakli Kobakhidze stated, this kind of antidrug raids are common practise in the world and the part of anti-drug policy: "This is the common practice - when there is information about possible spreading of life-threatening drugs in a specific club, in that case, police can take an action to prevent this. Law must be law for everyone. This is a very important principle and it is necessary to cooperate with law enforcement agencies to ensure that the law is protected," stated Kobakhidze in his interview with TV Imedi.As for the police raids in nightclubs, this is a frequent phenomenon in different countries of the world, which always causes dissatisfaction of people. In recent years, within the framework of anti-drug policy, there have been numerous police raids in many countries:February 2017, the UK. - three men have been arrested after police carried out drugs raids on the two Vauxhall nightclubs. Officers stormed both Fire and Lightbox, near Vauxhall station, during the early hours of last Friday morning to search party-goers and staff. One 30-year-old member of staff was arrested at Lightbox on suspicion of possession of Class A drugs. Another person, also 30, was arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A drugs and of breaching a court order. The third man, 28, was arrested at the same venue on suspicion of handling stolen goods. The operation followed tip-offs that drugs were being sold inside the venues.August 2017, Russia - Police raid Moscow nightclub. Russian police raided a Moscow nightclub on Sunday, August 6  policemen equipped with body Armor entered the club wielding batons and clubbed several staff members as well. Police reportedly took 18 persons into custody. Two of the detained were charged for drug offenses.May 2017, Malaysia - Police arrested almost 200 people in raids at two nightclubs in Kuala Lumpur. The raids took place on Friday night with teams from both the city police and state army. About 564 people were screened and 191 out of them were detained. 38 foreigners, including 33 from China, three from Vietnam and two from Thailand, who were working as GROs were also arrested," he said in the statement on Saturday. Police also seized small amounts of marijuana, ecstasy, ketamine and other club drugs.October 2017, Ukraine- Police officers broke into the night club, in the framework of an anti-drug activity. Police brutally beat clients regardless of whether they were suspects or not, eyewitnesses to the incident say.July 2016, Spain- Spanish police raided Ibiza club Amnesia in response to crimes against the Treasury which saw the arrest of owner Martin Ferrer and three other men, reports Diario de Ibiza. After two subsequent days of raids, authorities find evidence of tax fraud and arrested the club owner.According to the facts provided, Kobakhidzes statement, about the common practice of police raids in nightclubs, is correct, but to use special forces and violate the majority of party-goers, regardless they are suspects of crime or not, is not an ordinary fact, at least this is not a common practice in the EU countries.HPs Spectre x360 15 sets a new performance bar for mainstream laptops, thanks to its Kaby Lake-G CPU. Fortified with Radeon RX Vega discrete graphics, it upends the stereotype that 360-degree convertible laptops cant deliver top performance.

Externally, the Spectre 15 x360 might look the same at first glance, but thats just the Dark Ash Silver color. Look closer, and you can see HP has given the Spectre x360 the same sharply beveled lines of the 13-inch version . The screen bezels have slimmed down on the sides. HP also integrates an IR-based Windows Hello-compatible camera and a fingerprint reader strip.

Not to throw shade, but weve seen other vendors stuff much hotter CPUs and much hotter GPUs into 15-inch convertibles, and the results have been, well, less than stellar. Thats definitely not the case with the Spectre x360, which gives you top-notch parts including:

The Spectre 15 x360 15s journey has been a long one. When we reviewed the first generation in 2016 , it was basically designed to be a giant ultrabook with a big screen, rather than a pricey powerhouse.

HPs Spectre x360 15 changes everything. Specifically, the version that wields Intels Kaby Lake-G CPU, fortified with Radeon RX Vega discrete graphics, upends the stereotype that 360-degree convertible laptops cant deliver top performance. And weve proven it by comparing the Spectre x360 15 with Kaby Lake-G against its twin running Kaby Lake-R , as well as some high-end clamshell designs. The Kaby Lake G version is as fast or faster than all comers.

We measured our review unit at just over 14 inches wide by 9.75 inches deep. HP claims its about 19.45mm thin (about three-quarters of an inch), which we confirmed. Its slightly thicker than the previous version, which was 17.9mm.

One complaint we definitely have is the weight. Our unit sans power brick came in at 4 pounds, 10 ounces. Thats actually a few ounces heavier than the previous version. Some of that comes from the hefty 4K touchscreen and its glass protective layer.

One good side effect of the extra weight is the stiff chassis. Pick up the Spectre x360 15 one-handed, and you neednt fear that youll bend it.

You can have any display you want as long as its 4K

HP has jumped into 4K with both feet on the Spectre x360 15. While most PC makers offer a 1080p version to lower cost and increase battery life (higher-resolution screens inherently use more power), HP offers only a single, 38402160 IPS-like panel option.

As more laptops offer 4K displays, its important to know that this spec isnt a slam-dunk when it comes to quality. Our units panel is reasonably bright at a measured maximum output of 319 nits, but other high-end models can hit 400 to 500 nits.

Keyboard and mouse

Adam Patrick Murray Unlike Apple and Dell, who are busy taking away key travel, the HP Spectre x360 15 features a full 1.5mm of travel on its keyboard.

HP takes a new direction with the keyboard in this generation as well. The prior generation had speakers flanking the keyboard. In this new design, the speakers disappear and the backlit keyboard stretches edge to edge, allowing room for a 10-key numeric keypad. Yes, number-crunchers, its a properly designed 10-key, which Gigabyte and MSI still havent learned how to implement.

While Apple and Dell have been acting like airline carriers, taking away creature comforts like keyboard travel, HP gives you what feels like business-class service, with a plush 1.5 mm for your weary fingers.

Our only quibble is the half-height cursor keys for moving up and down. An inverted T is always preferred.

The trackpad is a glass-coated Synaptics ClickPad thats slightly offset to align with the keyboard. Weve had palm-rejection issues with some of HPs extra-wide trackpads in the past, but this one we could not get to trigger. Good job.

Adam Patrick Murray A fingerprint reader, HDMI 2.0, and a pair of Thunderbolt ports adorn the right side of the Spectre x360 15.

What ports does the Spectre x360 have?

The Spectre x360 doesnt skimp on connectivity. You get a pair of Thunderbolt 3 ports and a full-size HDMI on the right side. On the left theres an SD card reader, analog audio jack, standard barrel charger, andwait for ita USB Type A port! Yes, Internet, rejoice!

Adam Patrick Murray If you do a little dance because theres still a USB Type A port on the new HP Spectre x 360 15, thats perfectly fine with us.

The charger for the Spectre x360 15 is a beefy 150-watt unit. The Thunderbolt 3 ports with USB PD will also charge the laptop, but at a slower rate than youll get with the traditional barrel charger.

HP Spectre x360 15 performance

Much of the excitement around Intels Kaby Lake-G CPUs stems from its once-unthinkable marriage of a custom Radeon RX Vega M with a quad-core 8th-generation Kaby Lake CPU. We expected strong graphics. The surprise for us came from the CPU side of things, though.

As with previous generations of its laptop CPUs, Intels 8th generation comes in two variants: low-power U chips and high-power H chips. The H chips usually rule the school, but Kaby Lake-G brings in some fresh, fast blood.

Intel has been pretty coy about exactly whats inside the G series of CPUs. Sure, theyre 8th-gen, but are they low-power or high-power? Well, it turns out, theyre high-power for the most part. Intel said its using a new Dynamic Power Sharing feature thats possible only with the unique design of the Kaby Lake-G CPU. As you might guess from the name, performance between the CPU and the GPU is shared based on workload. If the GPU is at rest, power and thermals can be used to push the CPU to higher levels.

Our performance tests, therefore, are really a battle between the established H and the upstart G (while the low-power U watches from the sidelines). Which will prevail?

First up is Cinebench R15, which tests multi-core CPU performance when rendering a 3D scene. We included results from the two other Spectre x360 15s in our performance chart: The Kaby Lake-R twin to our test unit, with the low-power quad-core Core i7-8550U, and the previous-generation low-power dual-core Core i7-7500U. The older unit comes in last, while the younger easily outpaces it.

IDG The Core i7-8705G in the Spectre x360 15 performs far closer to an H-series-class CPU, thanks to a unique power-sharing arrangement between the GPU and CPU

As we expect given its Core i7-7700HQ H chip, the Dell XPS 15 clamshell outruns everyoneexcept the new Core i7-8705G. The Dell XPS 15 and the new HP Spectre x360 15 actually have the same basic CPU, but the 8th-gen Kaby Lake-G version in the Spectre x360 15 is more than 50 percent faster than the 8th-gen Kaby Lake-R version in the XPS 15.

One other result we want to point out above is from the Lenovo Yoga 720. Its another 15-inch convertible laptop with a high-power Core i7-7700HQ inside, plus GeForce GTX 1050 graphics. But its a good example of the performance you give up when you try to stuff a 45-watt CPU inside a convertible laptop with a 75-watt graphics card. In this CPU test, the Spectre x360 15 is more than 30 percent faster.

Single-core performance for the Spectre x360 15 also sings, as you can see from our results in Cinebench (below) using a single CPU thread. These numbers are more indicative of what youll see in most real-world use, given that few applications will use all of the cores of a CPU.

IDG Thanks to higher clock speeds, the 8th-gen CPUs outrun the 7th-generation CPUs.

Because all of the CPUs here use the same basic design, it comes down to how you can run the CPU. The newest 8th-gen chips take the lead, even over higher-power CPUs.

HandBrake performance

The Cinebench benchmark is very useful, but it usually takes just a couple of minutes to run on many laptops. Thats not long enough to see how prolonged heat affects a system. Thats why we run our HandBrake encoding test, which can push the CPU hard for more than 40 minutes on a quad-core. In theory, if a laptop isnt adequately cooled, or if it decides to sacrifice performance for fan noise, the effects will show up here.

The results again put the new Spectre x360 15 ahead of the competition, but its really a tie. The good news for HP is its tied with Dells XPS 15, which is a standard clamshell design with fewer thermal compromises. What the test really tells us is the new Kaby Lake G is every bit as fast as a 45-watt H-series CPU.

IDG The Spectre x360 15 ties with Dells XPS 15 buts a good thing.

HP Spectre x360 15 gaming performance

Wed stop most mainstream laptop testing at this point. But with the Radeon RX Vega inside Kaby Lake-G, we also want to see how it performs in games.

The first result we give you is Futuremarks 3DMark Sky Diver. The results are right where Intel claimed theyd be: Between GeForce GTX 1050 and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

IDG Intel said the Kaby Lake G in the Spectre x360 15 would perform around GTX 1050 levels and were seeing that in spades.

3Dmark is a synthetic test which may or may not apply to actual games. The first real game we tried was Tomb Raider on the Ultimate setting.

IDG Tomb Raider puts the Core i7-8705G a lot closer to a GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q than we expected.

The test is a little sensitive to CPU performance, which propels the Spectre x360 15 a little higher than youll see in a more graphics-intensive games. Its entirely likely that older games will see the graphics power of the Spectre x360 15 creep up a lot closer to GTX 1060 Max-Q.

If you hoped the Spectre x360 15 would run with gaming laptops in all games, we return to reality in Rise of the Tomb Raider, where the Spectre x360 15 is slightly slower than a GeForce GTX 1050 laptop.

IDG Load the low power version of the Kaby Lake-G in the Spectre x360 15 up with a more intensive GPU task, and you can see it drop back to GTX 1050 territory.

HP Spectre x360 15 battery performance

Our last test is likely the most important one for those who buy a laptop: battery life. We loop a 4K video at a relatively bright 250 to 260 nits, with the laptop set to airplane mode, and with earbuds connected.

The results for the Spectre x360 15 are fairly impressive, but not the winner. The winner is its near-twin, the Spectre x360 15 with a Core i5-8550U and GeForce MX150. Remember: Both laptops have the exact same-size battery and the exact same screen. Still, for a laptop with this much CPU and GPU performance, this is an impressive result.

This still doesnt mean you can play a game on batteries for nine hours. It means you can probably watch movies on the SSD for that long. Browsing, gaming, and other CPU-intensive tasks will use far more battery.

IDG Considering where the Spectre x360 15 with Kaby Lake-G falls in the power curve, this is very impressive battery life.

Conclusion

Theres two conclusions to be made here. The first is the HP Spectre x360 15 itself. The high-end laptop has been around for two years now, but it took Intels Kaby Lake-G to make it sing, delivering plenty of performance to go with the looks.

Adam Patrick Murray We have few quibbles with the Spectre x360 15 design. But we were hoping itd be lighter rather than heavier.

The slender profile hides our biggest disappointment, though: the weight. Blame the 4K panel, or look on the bright side and appreciate the sturdiness, but bottom line, this is a heavier laptop than wed like.

The second conclusion is that Intels Kaby Lake-G Core i7-8705G is a pretty impressive package (our review of the CPU is here.) Its not enough to threaten Nvidias dominance at the high-end of gaming laptops, but the truth is, the lions share of gaming laptops sales are actually in the GeForce GTX 1050 range. The Spectre x360 15 can hold its own in this crowd, further blurring the line between mainstream and gaming machines.Vote for the Gaylord Herald Times Player of the Week for 9/29-10/6Get the SC business stories that matter.

Our newsletter catches you up with all the business stories that are shaping Charleston and South Carolina every Monday and Thursday at noon. Get ahead with us - it's free.Three days after officials closed the Wando River bridge over westbound Interstate 526, igniting a widespread traffic nightmare, Charleston-area motorists on Thursday morning were gearing up for yet another day of sitting in congested traffic  this time with an increased likelihood of rain showers.

On Wednesday, the S.C. Department of Transportation offered its less-than-ideal prognosis: the heavily traveled portion of I-526 would remain shut down for four weeks while officials worked on a temporary fix for a busted cable. The span, which is a crucial connector for Mount Pleasant commuters to downtown Charleston, is expected to reopen June 11.

In the meantime, Mount Pleasant-area motorists in many cases are having to endure significantly prolonged commutes onto the peninsula.

As of 2 p.m. Thursday, just ahead of evening rush hour, heavy traffic was already beginning to accumulate on Johnnie Dodds Boulevard, just before southbound U.S. 17 on the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. You can view select areas of DOT roads, including areas experiencing delays, here via above-street cameras.

Both north and southbound U.S. 17 are part of detour suggestions outlined by the DOT:

Southbound US 17 across the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge to I-26 in Charleston.

Northbound US 17 to Highway 41 to Clements Ferry back to I-526.

Do you know an alternate route or back way around traffic? We encourage you to use these routes as you can. Please remember to watch your speed as you travel these secondary roads! #chstrfc #mtpsc  Mount Pleasant PD (@MountPleasantPD) May 17, 2018

Weather forecasters previously predicted stormy weather for the area throughout the week. The inclement weather, which could prove to exacerbate the delays, has largely held off. The good fortune, however, may soon run its course.

How's the weather shaping up?

Rain showers are likely on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service, with new rainfall throughout the day totaling less than a tenth of an inch. There's about a 60-percent chance of rain showers in the afternoon with possible thunderstorms after 5 p.m.

Forecasters expect the greatest areas of precipitation to happen inland, starting in southeast Georgia during the morning and spreading north/northeast into southeast South Carolina, the Weather Service's Charleston office said.

Showers and thunderstorms are likely before 11 p.m., the Weather Service said.

"Although severe weather is not anticipated, a strong thunderstorm or two can not be ruled out during the day," the Weather Service said. "The main issue will be shower and thunderstorm activity potentially enhancing a risk of coastal flooding during the high tide cycle late."

Henry McMaster told transportation officials Thursday to make part of eastbound Interstate 526 a two-way road, a temporary plan that could ease gridlock ignited by the shutdown of a Wando River bridge.

But local officials have expressed concerns about the effort's ripple effects on motorists going in two directions  rather than drivers on just the westbound side  which came to a halt after a broken cable in the James B. Edwards Bridge was discovered Monday.

The potential impacts of the switch remain a target of study by traffic engineers, but a letter from McMaster told the S.C. Department of Transportation to "develop and execute a plan."

"The hope is that the reversal of that lane will help ease the traffic that weve seen," the governor's spokesman, Brian Symmes, added. "The governor is absolutely mindful of the concerns. That's why all these agencies are involved."

Attempts to reach DOT spokesman Pete Poore for comment on the measure were not immediately successful, but a video posted by the agency on YouTube showed crews tearing up the grassy median of I-526 near the bridge to allow westbound motorists to cross to the other side. It was not clear when any switch would be put into place.

DOT Secretary Christy Hall told The Post and Courier on Tuesday that her agency had already started devising a plan to run traffic in two directions on the eastbound side of the Wando River bridge.

State authorities and officials from Mount Pleasant and Charleston discussed the idea during a conference Thursday morning where the concerns were voiced.

Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie said experts first had to decide whether emergency vehicles would fit along with two directions of traffic on I-526. The answer was yes.

The question that lingered at the end of the meeting was what methods would mitigate the risk of having opposing traffic on a road that everyone knows as a one-way interstate, Haynie said. It went unanswered.

Shortly afterward, the governor ordered the DOT to figure out a way to get it done.

Haynie said the town is on board.

"It's one of those things where no municipality wants to make the ultimate decision to do something that's so serious," he said. "You want to look at every possible risk. But by the governor basically ordering it, it was a relief to everybody that the decision was made at the highest level."

The DOT shuttered the western side of the twin spans after a weekly review found one of eight main cables tying together its concrete segments had snapped. The bridge's closure is expected to last until June 11, extending 20-minute rush-hour commutes into 45- to 90-minute journeys.

The I-526 crossover is one of several options being employed in hopes of pushing along traffic at peak times; one went into effect Thursday. By mid-afternoon, crews had set up traffic cones that split one lane into two lanes leading from the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge to Interstate 26. It was working, Haynie said after fielding a report of a motorist making it from Mount Pleasant to the Convention Center in North Charleston in 30 minutes during the evening rush hour.

For now, motorists are using U.S. Highway 17 and the Ravenel Bridge to get to Charleston. Another detour option takes them over S.C. Highway 41 and Clements Ferry Road, which leads to an unaffected portion of westbound I-526.

Symmes said the governor is confident that a scheme for splitting I-526 would be safe and keep traffic moving. It would require some sort of barrier  most likely orange cones  between the two directions of traffic on the eastbound span.

While the DOT was keeping an eye on both spans of the Wando River bridge for damaged cables, officials have revealed problems on only the westbound side.

"If there was an issue with the eastbound side," Symmes said, "people wouldnt be traveling across it."

Charleston police Capt. Chip Searson, who attended Thursday's meeting involving local and state officials, said the discussion centered on whether the move would be an overall benefit or more harmful than helpful.

"Whatever you do, it will impact someplace else," Searson said. "You cut those three (eastbound) lanes down to one lane, it's going to impact something."

McMaster's letter asked Hall and the DOT to keep his office informed of her progress on the work.

"We certainly hope there are no problems," Haynie said. "Anybody using the reversed lane ... please drive with the utmost caution."The Every Student Succeeds Act retains some elements of the No Child Left Behind, but diminishes the federal controls over public schools.

NOTE: The following article contains content from AppRiver. AppRiver could soon become even more interesting for Swiss managed service providers. As AppRiver, in the next few weeks, is very likely to be the first provider in Switzerland with Microsoft 365 on the market.

GULF BREEZE, Fla., May 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microsoft 365 represents the fulfillment of Microsoft's longstanding vision to deliver an innovative portfolio of productivity, collaboration and security tools that address the future of business. It is the culmination of Microsoft's innovation, technology and forward strategy, and it will revolutionize how business users work and how administrators manage their IT infrastructure.

Microsoft looked deep into its crystal ball and saw how the modern workplace was drastically transforming. The future is cloud-based. It's mobile. It's global and dispersed. It's not tied to a formal office. And it's not secure.

For managed service providers (MSPs), consultants and resellers, Microsoft 365 presents a collection of enhanced business opportunities that will not only help to sell subscriptions, but also to educate clients and support the new infrastructure.



Partners will need to develop a fluent understanding of the features, benefits and shortcomings of Microsoft 365 before making client presentations or recommendations. While Microsoft has generously provided a great deal of information on Microsoft 365, it can be a significant task to sort through the available assets and determine which are applicable.

Begin developing your knowledge of Microsoft 365 by understanding:

What Microsoft 365 encompasses

Key security considerations

New service and business opportunities

Microsoft 365: What's "In the Box"?

Many assume that Microsoft 365 is a new branding approach for the popular Office 365 suite of solutions. It isn't. Even at its most basic, Microsoft 365 is the applications, management tools and the operating system combined as one. It's a union that, at a glance, may seem unwieldy. However, its complexity is designed to transform the workplace for the better.

For partners, their clients and IT professionals, it is valuable to think of Microsoft 365 as a practice, not a product. While Microsoft 365 will have a significant impact on business users, it will be an entire shift in how IT administrators manage technology and their users. In turn, partners also need to take a different approach when presenting Microsoft 365 to clients.

Securing Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 radically changes the security footprint and foundation. With Microsoft 365, all the pieces are working in concert and receive structured updates that are compatible with the entire stack. Among the many enhancements, Microsoft recognized that security can't be effectively addressed at only the enterprise or IT level, since end-users can infect the network with the click of a bad link. Therefore, Microsoft intelligently moved security to the user level and partners need to educate their clients on how to use these new tools.

Microsoft 365 outperforms legacy operating systems with a secure, modern state that extracts the best of Microsoft's new security capabilities. Moreover, while Microsoft 365 offers a wide range of security enhancements above and beyond Office 365, it will still require additional protections and will demand heightened monitoring and maintenance.

Microsoft 365: The Channel Opportunity

Beyond the opportunity to sell new subscriptions to customers, Microsoft 365 provides channel partners with a new opportunity to deliver ongoing service and support, along with the necessary hardware and security software that will power the next-generation, secure enterprise.

From a financial perspective, Microsoft 365 carries a higher perceived price point than Office 365, so gross margins will likely increase if partners apply the same markup methodology. Partners should expect a 10 - 18 percent increase in earnings over typical managed services.

Since Microsoft 365 is still new and there is much confusion in the market, partners can expect to receive many questions from clients. Some clients will also raise objections about the move to Microsoft 365 by attempting to hang on to current or legacy operating systems as long as possible.

Based on Microsoft's impassioned approach and the widespread benefits that Microsoft 365 will deliver, the upgrade to Microsoft 365 is essentially inevitable. It's not about if, it's when since many end-of-life (EOL) events are already scheduled to occur by the end of 2020. And while Microsoft has been known to extend EOL deadlines in the past, the transitions to Microsoft 365 and reseller opportunities will happen soon.

Next Steps: Getting Started

The need to get up-to-speed quickly on Microsoft 365's intricacies cannot be overstated. Few have time to sort through the bulk of Microsoft materials and extract the most actionable items, so it's helpful to locate materials, podcasts and videos that act as an "interpreter" to help decipher Microsoft's marketing language and support documentation for you and your customers.

There are also complimentary courses to help partners learn and sell Microsoft 365, some of which result in a certification medallion - a key element of validation that IT decision-makers will seek when selecting expert Microsoft 365 resellers.

Develop your knowledge, then get ready for the new era of opportunities with selling and supporting Microsoft's visionary new platform to IT decision-makers.

The Association of Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ATCON) on Thursday urged the Federal Government to remove all impediments to accessing and adopting new technologies.

The ATCON President, Olusola Teniola, made the appeal in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on the backdrop of the World Telecommunications and Information Society Day.

Mr Teniola said that access to new technologies would enable Nigerians, especially the youth, to improve their lives.

The World Telecommunications and Information Society Day (WTISD) is celebrated on May 17 annually.

The 2018 WTISD had the theme: Enabling the Positive Use of Artificial Intelligence for All.

The theme focuses on the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to accelerate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

Mr Teniola said that the Federal Government should make it easy for the youth to have access to technologies such as AI, robotics, machine learning, big data and others to facilitate their development.

In adopting these technologies which will improve our productivity, the government need to remove all impediments to the success of the industry.

Currently, we are faced with 38 taxes and levies, and recently, there is a cyber-security tax that government wants to impose on any electronic transactions. It is called cyber-security levy.

We strongly resist and denounce this. The tax should not be introduced at this time in the industrys development, with the country coming out from a recession, he said.

The ATCON president, however, noted that the country had made some giant strides in telecommunications is spite of many challenges.

In terms of the political terrain, we have been able to have a stable and democratic government supported by electronic voting and a stable communication network that enabled that to happen.

For the social and economic benefits, the countrys Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is one of the largest in Africa and has created more than 300,000 jobs.

We have an industry that represents nine per cent of the total GDP which boasts of 450 million subscribers, and the services rendered by providers has the potential to still grow to at least 120 million dollars bond of investors by 2025.

All these will be achieved through broadband penetration that will enable further growth of the industry, Mr Teniola said.For the students of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife and the University of Ibadan, uncertainty surrounds expectations they would have their respective unions reinstated by the authorities of their schools anytime soon.

PREMIUM TIMES exclusively interviewed the vice-chancellors of the two universities, who said the students demands for the restoration of their unions would take a while to be achieved.

Students Union, (SU) activties have not occurred in the two universities since the turn of this year.

THE GENESIS

The OAU SU was suspended in November 2017, six months after the union at Ibadan suffered a similar blow. Both cases were in the wake of students protests.

In justifying the indefinite suspension of the Ife SU, then led by Edward Ibukun, the school accused the union leaders of actions that could negatively impact its reputation and endangered the members of the university community.

Following security reports of incessant fighting and unruly behaviour during the Congress of the Students Union and the recalcitrant attitude of their leadership, it has become inevitable for the University administration to suspend the activities of the Students Union of the Obafemi Awolowo University, read the statement signed by the registrar, Dotun Awoyemi.

Weeks earlier, the university had suspended some student activists who the school accused of leading a violent protest against power outage which reportedly lasted six days. The registrar also cited the widely reported fight between the vice-president and the social director in which head butts and stabbing were recorded during a meeting of the union executive to make decisions in respect of expenditure of funds released on September 5.

Then, he mentioned the vandalisation of the vehicle of the Ekiti State Chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists on July 14, 2017; vandalisation of NURTW buses on October 6, 2016; and forceful release of students under investigation from police custody on October 6, 2017 and recent serious fighting and open fracas at the meetings of the Union.

Also, the authorities of the University of Ibadan accused the Ojo Aderemi-led union of disrupting academic activities by mobilising students for a massive protest against the non-issuance of Identity(ID) Cards and unruly behaviour of the president.

University of Ibadan (UI)

Interestingly, as the Ibadan failed to issue ID cards to students, Ife also did not. At both schools, students are annually charged for ID cards. Students decry this failure, saying it denies them access to opportunities off campus where they are required to prove the validity of their studentship.

In reaction to students protest over the ID cards, the UI management declared: the activities of the Students Union Executive Council (SUEC) and the Students Representative Council (SRC) be suspended until further notice.

Embattled Union Leaders Speak

The presidents of the two suspended SUs told PREMIUM TIMES the authorities were only desperate to justify their actions.

Whoever made the assertion should give a clear meaning of it, Ojo Aderemi of UI said. Nobody can be the judge in his own case, he added.

No one will say he/she is a bad child, Edward Ibukun of OAU said, buttressing his UI counterpart.

Meanwhile, before the union was suspended, Mr Ibukun faced allegation he connived with his colleagues in the executive council to loot N2 million belong to the union. He denies this.

However, the scandal led to the blocking of the union leaders access to their e-portal pages. One of the executives, Adewumi Michael, the director of sports, disclosed that the university locked their portal pages because of the inability of the president and other executives to account for the N2 million.

Students Lament

The leaders of the two suspended unions have called on students in both schools to unite to form a common front towards the struggle to restore their unions.

Further, they said banning SUs would have implications for a schools role in grooming future leaders and providing an environment to help students nurture democratic attributes.

Stifling the voice of young people creates nothing but another generation of imbeciles and that is a recipe for failure, Mr Aderemi stated.

The union exists for the defence of rights of students and the fostering of patriotism towards the nation, he added.

In an interview, a Law student of OAU, Binzak Azzez, explained that the suspension of union activities in his school has exposed students to security risks, exploitation and other problems.

This, he said, became the consequences of no mechanism to maintain security and regulate prices.

Students resort to self-help whenever conflict arises. The strong students bully the weak ones. In fact, some sets of students now have the audacity to smoke and display cult-like activities in public places.

The bus drivers are inflating transport fare while traders exploit students as well. Its important that the activities of the SU are reinstated to allay these challenges. The only body capable of suppressing these challenges is the SU.

Traditionally, the SU at OAU was mostly in charge of security and adjudication of disagreements involving its members. Students barely reported conflicts to the university authorities but to the SU. It was equally esponsible for regulation of prices to ensure students were not exploited.

Because theres no union to engage students, the new accommodation policy without more hostels has displaced some students to houses outside the campus, another student said, lamenting the new policy which bans unauthorised residency in the hostels on campus.

Also, Otunremi Damilola, a 500 level Nursing student of UI said the absence of the union made the over 100 per cent increment on the institution accommodation fee possible.

The new accommodation fee is more than the sum of students school fees, she said.

Ms Damilola, who referred to the suspended union as a lesser evil in comparison to UIs management, further blamed the union leaders for disunity. The students leaders themselves are not united. The school management is aware of this and that is what they are capitalising on to exploit the students.

Not Anytime Soon  VCs

Meanwhile, the vice-chancellors of the two universities, in separate interviews with PREMIUM TIMES, said the unions would be reinstated but not anytime soon.

The UI VC, Idowu Olayinka, said: The matriculation we did recently ought to have been done in October. What is the essence of lifting the ban on students union if after three months we are back to square one? We dont want what will affect the academic calendar again.

Moreover, for almost a year now that the students union has been suspended, my salary is going fine and other staffs. Students are at the losing end.

For the process of restoration, he, however, said, Dialogue comprising stakeholders in UI, that is, the faculty reps, the deans of faculties, halls executives and the union of campus journalists; will be fixed.

He did not give a definite timeline.

Also, Eyitope Ogunbodede, the VC of OAU said: We are going to reinstate the union if the atmosphere is okay and we are sure that we wont have a murder case in our hands.

While speaking on the effects of the absence of SU as decried by the students, the two varsity heads said there are other bodies responsible for students welfare asides the SU

We only suspended the union activities at the central executive level. We still have students unions in our halls of residence, Mr Ogunbodede said.

There are bodies ranging from the halls of residence to faculties, added Mr Olayinka, echoing his Ife counerpart.Britain has extended a 100 million dollars loan to Zimbabwes private sector, the first direct commercial loan to the southern African country in over two decades, the state-controlled Herald newspaper reported Thursday.

The newspaper quoted Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor John Mangudya as saying that the facility, in which Britain partnered the Standard Chartered Bank, would go a long way in improving the companies competitiveness.

UKs development finance institution, CDC, will share the default risk on loans to provide foreign exchange to Zimbabwean companies.

The loan will be for up to three years and can be used for capital expenditure or working capital. It is believed that companies in food processing, manufacturing, and agricultural sectors are likely to benefit.

This is a significant move in that it is a medium-term facility to be used for the revival of companies in Zimbabwe, Mangudya said.

He said there had been a deficit of medium-term funding to Zimbabwean private companies due to Western sanctions, adding that the loan would help the companies to retool and boost productivity.

The governor said the loan facility was a sign of confidence by the international community in Zimbabwe following the advent of a new administration led by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

It is a seal of approval or endorsement of government polices and measures aimed at transforming the economy into a middle income by 2030. From the RBZ side, we are pleased by this facility because it will increase exports by Zimbabwean companies, he said.

CDC chief executive Nick ODonohoe said they started preparing the loan facility as soon as former President Robert Mugabe left office.

Mugabe resigned in November last year after a military intervention, ending his uninterrupted 37 years in power.

We think its pretty significant. Zimbabwes economy has been shattered over the last two decades, yet holds real potential, ODonohoe said.

He said the last direct CDC loan to Zimbabwe was to a fish farm in 1994.

Sunil Kaushal, regional chief executive of Standard Chartered Bank, said the loan facility was similar to that of a previous partnership with CDC when the two lent to Sierra Leone at the height of the Ebola epidemic in 2015. (Xinhua/NAN)U.S. President Donald Trump has congratulated Americans on the one year of the commencement of the Special Counsel Robert Muellers probe into the alleged Russian collusion to undermine the U.S. presidential election of November 8, 2016.

Mr Trump repeated in his tweet that the Mueller probe was a witch hunt and that there was no collusion between his campaign and Russians to help him defeat Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Trump tweeted: Congratulations America, we are now into the second year of the greatest Witch Hunt in American Historyand there is still No Collusion and No Obstruction.

The only Collusion was that done by Democrats who were unable to win an Election despite the spending of far more money!

The president also quoted Andrew McCarthys allegation that former President Barack Obama planted officials of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in his campaign to spy on him.

McCarthy is an American columnist for National Review, and he served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN EMBEDDED INFORMANT.

Andrew McCarthy says, Theres probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign. If so, this is bigger than Watergate!

Despite the disgusting, illegal and unwarranted Witch Hunt, we have had the most successful first 17 months Administration in U.S. history  by far!

Sorry to the Fake News Media and Hater, but thats the way it is! Trump tweeted.

The president has severally caller for the shutdown of the probe, describing it as a waste of millions of dollars of public fund.

According to the latest publicly available spending figures, nearly seven million dollars was spent by the U.S. Government between May and September 2017 to investigate the Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

(NAN)Theophilus Abbah, managing editor of Daily Trust newspaper, is one of Nigerias most regarded investigative journalists renowned for giving voices to the voiceless and helping the oppressed, the cheated, and the abused get justice. But in mid October 2017, Mr Abbah himself felt extorted and could do nothing about his own situation.

Mr Abbah was at the time planning a trip to Johannesburg to attend the 10th Global Investigative Journalism Conference which held November 16-19 of that year. To process his visa for the trip, the reporter dashed to the Abuja office of VFS Global, a private firm to which the South African High Commission and a number of other embassies in Nigeria have outsourced their visa processing services.

VFS charged Mr Abbah N34,270.00 for a three-month visa. But what irked the journalist was the breakdown of the payment he made. When I saw the breakdown of VFS service charge, I felt cheated because the cost of the product is so low while the service charge is very high, he told PREMIUM TIMES.

The VFS service charge is three times the Visa fee. This is exploitative. I dont understand why the service charge should be higher than the cost of the product I am buying. What value are they adding for them to charge so exorbitantly?

While Mr Abbah was fuming in Abuja, some of his Lagos-based journalist colleagues applying for visa to attend the same event were dealing with the same situation at VFS Lagos office.

Motunrayo Alaka, head of the Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism, who coordinated the trip, said the four journalists got two rude shocks.

The first was that the total amount they expected to pay from what was written on the organisations website and what they eventually had to pay was higher by about N9, 000, Mrs Alaka said. The second shock came as they got the breakdown of the costs which shows that while the visa fee itself is N8, 600, VFS charges N25, 270 for its services as the middle person.

I see this as a ripoff by VFS but more worryingly a lack of regulatory framework that protects citizens of Nigeria from such practices. On many counts, from the cost of goods and services to the process for accessing them, the Nigerian government encourages monopolies and often leaves the people to be cheated by various cartels.

But Mr. Abbah and Mrs Alaka are not alone in their discontent with VFS Global and its services in Nigeria. Months of investigation by PREMIUM TIMES show that widespread complaints of extortion and exorbitant service charges have continued to trail the operation of the company in Africas most populous country.

Ms. Motunrayo Alaka

Martins Obono, a frequent traveller, says he is no longer comfortable with the services of the company.

I think their services are a rip-off in the first place, Mr. Obono, an Abuja-based rights activist, told PREMIUM TIMES. Secondly theres usually no guarantee that your visa will be out as at when due.

VFS Global is an outsourcing and technology services specialist for governments and diplomatic missions worldwide. The company manages visa and passport issuance-related administrative tasks for its client governments.

The firm works predominantly with a user-pay revenue model where it receives its service fee directly from the visa applicants, in addition to the visa fees which are remitted to the diplomatic missions.

Since most countries find it cumbersome to create visa processing desks in their embassies, VFS global now serves as the courier man between those that want to travel and the diplomatic missions of the countries they are travelling to.

Basically, the company collects, manages and processes visa documents submitted by prospective travellers and passes the applications to the embassies who then issue the visa. The company collects the processed visas from the embassies and delivers to applicants from which it received the original applications.

VFS is domiciled in Nigeria, processing visas for citizens who want to travel to mostly European and African countries such as UK, Canada, Belgium, France, South Africa, among others.

Belgium visa fees and service charges on VFS information Board.

To travel to any of these countries, applicants are forbidden from approaching their embassies directly, and therefore have no choice than to procure the services of VFS Global.

Being a monopoly in the market in which it operates, customers have often accused VFS Global of mistreating them, saying the firm has often indiscriminately hike its service charges as well as pose a lacklustre attitude in discharging the services paid for.

But what has irked customers the most appears to be the unbelievably high service charges the company receives from applicants.

For instance, when PREMIUM TIMES commenced this investigations in November 2017, the South African Visa fee was put at N8,600. But VFS was collecting an additional N25,465 as service charge, almost three times the visa fee.

PREMIUM TIMES put out a questionnaire on its social media handles asking Nigerians who have used VFS global to share their experiences.

While some of the respondents were of the view that the companys services were below standard and not commensurate with the service fees it charges, others said its services were good but needed improvement.

Their services are not bad actually but the fee they charge is on the high side, one respondent said. When you apply for Canadian visa and you are refused, you will be asked to pay for biometric and processing all over again which is not fair.

I paid N45000 for myself and N38000 for my son to Canada and still was rejected, another respondent said. They should reduce their charges and help to tell the applicants if their documents are likely to be accepted.

Some of the female staff are arrogant and the email and SMS alerts rarely come on time, yet another one said. Too many delays.

Fraudulent SMS fee

Mrs. Alaka of the Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism said, Another fraudulent part of the visa process as managed by the VFS is the charge for text messages. Applicants pay N400 for what must be golden text messages. I have paid this many times. The maximum number of text messages sent to the applicant is usually four. One to acknowledge receipt, a second to state that the application package has left the VFS office to the embassy, a third to announce that it is ready for collection and the last to document that the applicant has collected the package.

A disclaimer on the information board at VFS Abuja office. It says the company is not liable for SMS not sent.

Regular text message by service providers cost N4 per unit and bulk text messages can be as low as N2 by unit. Why then do Nigerians have to pay N100 each for four text messages by VFS? Again, I blame the regulators who allow this to happen to the detriment of the people. Going to another country is treated like it is a favour to Nigerians even though our visits contributes in huge measures to the economy of the receiving countries.

Most of the respondents surveyed also complained of not receiving SMS which the company charge them N400 for. I have applied for visas through VFS several times, said Musikilu Mojeed, editor-in-chief of this newspaper. Not once did they ever send me an SMS. They only sent me emails. Yet each time I applied, they compelled me to pay N400 for SMS.

In what appears a clever antic to avoid responsibility for SMS not sent or delivered, the company puts a loud disclaimer on its notice board at its Abuja Office

It is not the responsibility of VFS Global to ensure SMS service is received by the applicant, the notice read. Our obligation is to send the SMS and we shall not be liable for any SMS not received.

The activist, Mr. Obono, who regularly applies for UK visa through VFS Global, believes this is another way of exploiting people.

CSNAC goes angry

In July 2017, the Civil Society Network Against Corruption (CSNAC) wrote to the Consumer Protection Council (CPC) to investigate the activities and business operations of VFS Global for charging N400 for SMS.

In a petition to the director-general of the commission, CSNAC accused VFS Global of fraudulent, unconscionable and exploitative business antics.

VFS Global charge a mandatory SMS rate from visa applicants and the said service is designed in such a way that its not optional, thus stifling competition and imposing the excessively high rate on the applicants, the groups chairman, Olanrewaju Suraju, said. This is in utter breach of consumers right to choose and access to variety of quality products and services at competitive prices.

The average amount chargeable by all communication companies for SMS is the rate of N4 (Four Naira) only and the said rate is way cheaper when utilizing bulk SMS service which comes at an average rate of about N1.50k (One Naira, Fifty Kobo) only. We are reliably convinced that VFS Global utilizes the said cheaper alternative.

On the whole, in a normal visa application, the SMS notification usually required to be sent is less than four SMS which at most will cost about N20 (Twenty Naira) only, leaving an excess of about N380 (Three Hundred Naira) unaccounted for, in an obvious exploitation of applicants and an overcharge aimed at depriving them of their hard earned money.

Similarly, the coalition identified the inefficiency of the firms SMS service, stating that, disturbingly, the said VFS Global Services and operation company in an overwhelming majority of established cases negligently and or fraudulently fail to send the relevant SMS to update applicants of the status of their application as promised despite the un-refundable payment made to that effect.

This is in a flagrant breach of consumers right to satisfaction of basic needs, as the said company owes a duty to ensure that their services meet the standard of quality promised such that there is value for money in the transaction.

On the above basis, we hereby demand an urgent investigation of the VFS Global Services.

Consumer Protection Council speaks

The Director General of the Consumer Protection Council (CPC), Barr Babatunde Adekunle Irukera

The Director General of the Consumer protection Council, Babatunde Irukera, confirmed his organisation received the petition from CSNAC in addition to a myriad of complaints from other disgruntled applicants.

Mr. Irukera also said there was also a complaint by a customer who said he paid the N400 but did not get the SMS alert. So he did not know that his visa application had issues until he tried to go collect his Visa a few days to his travel.

From CPC standpoint, we believe that if people pay for something they must get the service they paid for, the official said. You ask people to pay for SMS service and you cannot disclaim whether they get that SMS or not. You have an obligation to demonstrate that the SMS was sent.

On the controversial VFS service charge, Mr. Irukera said although discussions on pricing must be handled with care, his organisation believes companies just cant charge anything they want.

We have some key issues we are looking at, the CPC official said. First, what option does a potential traveller or consumer have? Can you apply without VFS or directly through the embassies? So we will look at the fairness of what the service charge is compared to the service itself.

Ireland visa fees and service charges on VFS information Board. Denmark visa fees and service charges on VFS information Board.

It does involve some level of inquiry that a service charge for a product is higher than the product itself and we must make that inquiry.

What we are saying is that we will meet them and ask them their pricing formula. We will also look at other embassies that dont subscribe to VFS Global and see what they are charging and we will now make a conclusion whether the pricing is fair or if it is exploitative.

PREMIUM TIMES later reached out to Mr. Irukera to enquire if the meeting between CPC and VFS Global slated for January held.

We had a meeting with them in January and we conveyed all the complaints and demanded information and they are in the process of providing them, he responded. We have opened an investigation on this.

Sealed Lips

A VFS Global office

Repeated efforts to get VFS Global to comment for this story were unsuccessful.

An official of the company told our reporter on two occasions, There is nobody available to respond to your questions.

The telephone number listed on the companys official website failed to connect for months and multiple calls and SMS inquiries sent to it therefore remain undelivered.

Repeated visits to the South African High Commission in Abuja for reaction to the exorbitant service charge by VFS Global turned out a wild goose chase. A letter of inquiry duly acknowledged by the embassy on December 19, 2017 is yet to be responded to.

South African visa fees and service charges on VFS information Board.

But while VFS and the South African embassy continue to evade questions, those on the receiving end of the companys actions are calling for urgent action.

The ministry of foreign affairs should intervene and regulate that sector because although VFS is a private firm, it operates as a monopoly, Mr. Abbah of Daily Trust said.

Nigerians do not have alternatives. If there were alternatives and competition then people will have other options. I think Nigerians should be given more options and alternative other than VFS Global.The federal government has condemned Israels deadly response to clashes along the border with the Gaza Strip, in which 58 unarmed Palestinian demonstrators were killed.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement on Thursday expressed the federal governments concern over the killings.

The Israeli Government must stop such use of excessive force against unarmed civilians, including children, and respect the basic human rights of Palestinians as well as international law, the ministry added.

NAN reports that the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said 58 Palestinians were killed and nearly 1,000 were injured in violent clashes with Israeli forces along the Gaza Strips border with Israel.

Israeli security forces said they were responding to deliberate attempts, spurred by Hamas, to overwhelm and breach the boundary fence to launch terror attacks in Israel.

In addition to protesting the relocation of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Palestinians were also marking the 70th anniversary of what they call the Nakba, or catastrophe, of Israels creation in 1948.

The Israeli army said three of the Palestinians killed on Monday were trying to plant explosives at the border fence.

In two separate incidents, IDF troops opened fire on gunmen who were trying to shoot them, Hadashot TV news said.

There were also several Israeli airstrikes on Hamas positions in Gaza.

According to the army, tens of thousands took part in the protests at several points along the border.

(NAN)The Nigerian Army on Wednesday said it killed 15 Boko Haram terrorists and rescued 49 persons in separate encounters between Boko Haram and troops in the Southern Lake Chad Basin.

Onyema Nwachukwu, the spokesperson of the armys operation in the North-east, Operation Lafiya Dole, disclosed this in a statement.

He said that some of the insurgents were killed in the Lake Chad Island while others were killed in villages in Northern Borno on Tuesday.

Troops dislodged the insurgents from their hideout after a fierce battle, killing 11 insurgents in Gomaran village of Southern Lake Chad Basin, he said.

He explained that the troops also ambushed and killed four terrorists who were escaping from the military onslaught in Northern Borno.

Mr Nwachukwu, a colonel, said that the troops further engaged fleeing insurgents in Firgi and Moula, both in Bama and Dikwa council.

The clearance operations also led to the recovery of one single barrel gun, one Dane gun and one locally made pistol.

Other items recovered from the dislodged insurgents include four motorcycles, motorcycle spare parts, two tricycles, six water pumping machines, and two power generating sets.

Additionally, the valiant troops captured two Boko Haram flags, a pair of camouflage uniform, a pair of combat boots, a camera, a bag of mechanical tools and medications.

Four men, 33 women and 16 children were rescued by the troops from the insurgents hideouts . The rescued hostages are currently being profiled for subsequent hand over to officials of the Internally Displaced Persons Camp for documentation and administering, Mr Nwachukwu said.

The army recently launched a major operation to clear the Boko Haram from the Lake Chad area, where the insurgents are still believed to have a foothold.

Despite losing most of the territory they once controlled in Northeast Nigeria, the insurgents are still able to launch attacks in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states, mainly on civilian targets.

The insurgency has caused about 100,000 deaths since 2009, according to the Borno State Government.The Nigerian military says the Tuesday attack that claimed the lives of at least three operatives of the Civillian-JTF in Konduga town of Borno State was possible because Boko Haram used an aged man who disguised as a weak and feeble traveller.

The spokesman of the military operation in the North-east, Operation Lafiya Dole, Onyema Nwachukwu, said members of the Civillian-JTF on a stop and search duty in Konduga were deceived by the old man whom they allowed to inch too close to their post for a check of the content of the bag he was carrying.

It has been a usual practice of the Boko Haram to deploy mostly teenage boys and girls in carrying out suicide bombing attacks.

But unknown to the vigilante members, the aged man was actually a Boko Haram member on a mission to carry out attack in Konduga, a community 35km from Maiduguri.

He detonated the explosive devise contained in the bag, which resulted in killing himself and three of the Civilian-JTF operatives.

The elderly man pretending to be weak and feeble was being searched by men of the Civilian Joint Task Force, when he detonated a suicide vest contained in a bag he was carrying, Mr Nwachukwu said.

Unfortunately three Civilian Joint Task Force members paid the supreme price in the incident. The wounded have been evacuated for medical attention.

Our hearts go out to those who lost their lives as well as those injured in the callous attack.

Mr Nwachukwu, an army colonel, said the Konduga incident points to the variation in the tactics of the Boko Haram terrorists in their uncanny resolve to deceptively infiltrate communities and towns to mindlessly attack vulnerable and soft targets.

Aside using women and children, the terrorists are now engaging the aged in suicide bombing as witnessed in this recent incident.

He warned members of the public to cast their net of suspicion beyond looking for dirty and scraggy looking individuals as suspected suicide bombers.

They (Boko Haram) have also been detected to now appear clean and well dressed to look unsuspicious and enable them gain access to targets marked for suicide attack. Some of the terrorists have also been found to now conceal their suicide vests by wearing it on the thigh rather than the waist to appear less bulky and evade detection when searched.

In view of these developments, members of the public are please urged to be vigilant and discerning as they go about their normal daily routines and activities.

Meanwhile, Mr Nwachukwu said a combined force of the Operation Lafiya Dole and the Cameroonian Defence Forces have killed 15 Boko Haram insurgents in separate encounters in Southern Lake Chad Basin.

Troops neutralised the insurgents whilst conducting operations to clear remnants of Boko Haram insurgents in the Lake Chad Islands and surrounding villages of northern Borno yesterday.

Troops dislodged the insurgents from their hideout after a fierce battle, killing 11 insurgents in Gomaran village of Southern Lake Chad Basin.

In two other separate encounters with the fleeing insurgents in Firgi and Moula, both in Bama and Dikwa Local Governments Areas of Borno State, troops also ambushed and neutralised 4 Boko Haram insurgents who were fleeing troops  onslaught in the northern fringes.

He added that the clearance operations also led to the recovery of one single barrel gun, one Dane gun and one locally made pistol. Other items recovered from the dislodged insurgents include 4 Motorcycles, motorcycle spare parts, 2 tricycles, 6 pumping machines, and 2 power generating sets. Additionally, the valiant troops captured 2 Boko Haram flags, a pair of camouflage uniform, a pair of combat boots, a camera, a bag of mechanical tools and medications.

Four men, 33 women and 16 children were rescued by the troops from the insurgents hideouts . The rescued hostages are currently being profiled for subsequent hand over to officials of the Internally Displaced Persons Camp for documentation and administering.A recent attack by armed bandits on four villages in Birnin-Gwari Local Government has left at least 10 people dead, residents have said.

The bandits overran Mashigi, Dakwaro, Sabon gida, and a last village killing at least ten people, a resident said.

Ten bodies of people killed were recovered, while many are unaccounted for, Malam Umar, a resident, was quoted as saying in a statement by a group, Birnin Gwari Vanguards for Security and Good Governance.

The armed bandits attacked the villages around 5.00 p.m. on Tuesday, with the attacking lasting for about three and half hours.

Also, the armed bandits burnt houses and grains stock of the affected villages, the group said.

The police confirmed the attacks to PREMIUM TIMES but could not provide details.

 Yes I can confirm to you that there was an attack in Birnin Gwari, but it is sketchy for now. We will brief you when we get full details Kaduna police spokesperson, Mukhtar Aliyu, said in a telephone interview.

Already volunteers from the southern axis of Birnin-Gwari and security officials were mobilised to ascertain the number of casualties, the Birnin-Gwari vanguards said.

The affected villages are said to be in need of aid, such as food, shelter and clothes.

Despite these attacks and kidnappings daily along Kaduna-Birnin Gwari road, we are saluting the federal government and security agencies for deployment of personnel to deal with the situation in Birnin-Gwari. We hope more troops and special police task force will be deployed, the group said.

The latest attack occurred a day before the senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, raised the issue of the constant attacks on Birnin-Gwari at the Senate.

Birnin-Gwari, parts of Zamfara and Niger states are becoming the Sambisa of the north-west. People are killed every day. People are kidnapped every day. Villages have been raided and razed by bandits. Farmers have chosen to abandon their farms and move to cities, Mr Sani said.

Mr Sanis query came barely hours after the Chief of Army Staff Tukur Buratai, flagged-off a two Battalion Forward Operation Base (FOB) at Birnin-Gwari.

The FOB was tagged Operation Idon Raini at Kanfanin Doka village, the proposed site.

The Senate on Wednesday resolved to invite the various security agencies to speak on why it appears the repeated attacks in Birnin Gwari appear unresolvable.

Scores of people including soldiers have been killed in Birnin-Gwari in the past few months in repeated attacks by armed bandits. Dozens of others have also been kidnapped for ransom in the local government.The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday confirmed it detained a serving senator for allegedly receiving several vehicles valued at over N1.1 billion from an oil mogul currently standing trial for financial crimes.

The senator, Bassey Akpan (PDP, Akwa Ibom Central) was a commissioner for finance under the Godswill Akpabio administration. He is the current Chairman, Senate Committee on Gas (Upstream).

EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, who confirmed the arrest, said Mr Akpan was taken into custody on Tuesday after the lawmaker evaded arrest for several months.

Mr Uwujaren did not provide further details on the arrest. Also, he did disclose when the lawmaker would be charged to court or released on bail.

However, a source close to the commission, who does not want his name disclosed, told PREMIUM TIMES that Mr Akpan was detained to enable him explain his role in the controversial receipt of the vehicles.

The vehicles, most of which included top range exotic models, were allegedly received from the Chief Executive of Atlantic Energy and Sahel Energy, Jide Omokore, ahead of the 2015 presidential polls.

Mr Omokore, a close ally of former President Goodluck Jonathan, is currently being accused by the presidency of involvement in a $3 billion strategic alliance pipeline contract by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo recently accused Mr Omokore of working with ex-petroleum minister Alison-Madueke and ally, Kola Aluko, to defraud the NNPC of the $3 billion and failing to pay the mandatory royalties and taxes to government.

Mr Omokore has since denied the accusations through his lawyer, R. A. Lawal-Rabana, who said his client did not collude with anybody to steal $3 billion as alleged by the presidency.

As counsel involved in representing Jide Omokore in court, we wish to state that the relationship between Jide Omokores company, Atlantic Energy with NNPC/NPDC is well documented as a commercial transaction of which there has been part performance. There is nothing illegal or fraudulent about the transaction, Mr Lawal-Rabana said.

However, an EFCC report on the matter accused the embattled lawmaker of receiving vehicles worth N303 million from Mr Omokore while he served as the Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Finance.

The report also accused him of receiving the vehicles in his capacity as the Chairman of the Inter-ministerial Direct Labour Coordinating Committee responsible for ensuring the completion of government projects through direct labour as a cost saving strategy for the state.

In return, two of Mr Omokores firms  Bay Atlantic Energy and Sahel Energy  were said to have benefited from contracts from Mr Akpans committee.

Senator Bassey Akpan received a BMW X5 BP worth N50m; an Infinity QX56BP worth N45m; a Range Rover worth N40m; three Toyota Hiace buses worth N27m; two Toyota Hiace High-roof buses worth N16m, six Toyota Hilux D cabin vehicles worth N42m as well as other vehicles worth N83m, the anti-graft agency report said.

senator, Bassey Akpan (PDP, Akwa Ibom Central)

He received the vehicles from Omokore while heading a committee which was giving contracts to the same Omokore. He has been invited on several occasions, but he refused to show up. He was supposed to come to the EFCC office on Monday, but he refused, the report added.

The EFCC said the vehicles, which ranged from Mercedes Benz luxury cars to campaign buses and trucks, were acquired with the proceeds of fraud.

Apart from Mr Akpan, the EFCC report said Adamu Muazu, a former PDP chairman, also received vehicles valued at about N504.5 million, including a Mecedez Benz G63, valued at N45 million between May and August 2014.

The report said the current chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus, also received vehicles worth N310 million from businessman.

On June 28, 2013, the EFCC said Mr Secondus received a Benz G63 worth N36 million, apart from two Toyota Hilux vehicles worth N14 million he received on April 8, 2014.

On July 8, 2014, he (Secondus) received 10 Hiace buses worth N90 million, while on November 13, 2014, he received 15 Hiace mid-roof buses worth N120 million. He also received a N50 million Range Rover Biography SUV, the report added.

However, Mr Secondus has denied the allegations against him.

He recently filed an application in Port Harcourt, which restrained the federal government or any of its agents, including the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, from including his name among the lists of treasury looters, the government says it is releasing in series.The federal government has confirmed that it is turning a co-accused in the trial of Sambo Dasuki to a prosecution witness.

Salisu Shuaib, who was initially charged alongside Mr Dasuki, will now give evidence against the former National Security Adviser.

For the second time in 24 hours, the federal government on Thursday brought a 25-count amended charge against Mr Dasuki. But he was granted another bail by Justice Hussein Baba Yusuf of an Abuja high court after denying all the charges.

Mr Dasuki has been in detention for over two years despite being granted bail by different courts.

The Sokoto prince, who served under former President Goodluck Jonathan, was re-arraigned along with a former Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda; former Sokoto State governor, Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa; his son, Sagir Dalhatu; and their family company, Dalhatu Investment Limited.

However, like the charge of Wednesday, former Director of Finance and Supply in the Office of NSA under Mr Dasuki, Salisu Shuaib, was dropped from the list of accused persons.

The counsel to federal government, Rotimi Jacobs, confirmed to journalists that after the examination of the report of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the alleged money diversion, it became imperative to drop Mr Shuaib from the charge.

Mr Jacobs said that instead of being a co-accused person, the former director of finance will now be used to as a witness to testify for the federal government in the trial of the five defendants.

Like the re-arraignment of Wednesday, Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf ordered that the five defendants should continue to enjoy the bail granted in 2015 when they were first arraigned on the alleged offense.

Part of the charge against Dasuki was that he misappropriated and engaged in alleged criminal breach of trust by dishonestly transferring N3.5 billion into the account of Dalhatu Investment Limited, an offense punishable under Section 315 of the Penal Code.

Mr Yuguda was alleged to have dishonestly misappropriated a whooping sum of $9.8 million, an equivalent of N1.9billion and another N200 million he allegedly transferred to the bank account of Jabbama Ada Global Services, an offense punishable under Section 315 of the Penal Code Act.

On their part, Messrs Bafarawa, Sagir and Dalhatu Investment were charged with dishonestly receiving N4.6 billion from the office of Mr Dasuki, an offense punishable under Section 97 of the Penal Code.

Aside the five defendants, prominent politicians were named in the charge as beneficiaries of the alleged public fund diversion.

They are a former governor of Oyo State, Rashidi Ladoja; former Chairman of the defunct National Republican Convention, Tom Ikimi; and one Robert Azibola, a cousin of former President Jonathan as well as former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim.

However, all the five defendants pleaded not guilty to the amended charge dated May 11 and signed by Chile Okoroma, Director of Legal and Prosecution Department of the EFCC.

Meanwhile, Justice Baba-Yusuf has adjourned trial of the defendants to July 9 and 10.Interior Ministry Releases Statistics Following Anti-Drug Policy Rallies

Police spokesperson, Jimoh Moshood, said the suspects were transferred to Abuja for further investigation in the allegations of murder and criminal conspiracy slammed against them.

But Senate President Bukola Saraki, who is from Kwara State, said the move was part of a grand plot by Inspector General Ibrahim Idris to frame him.

Mr Saraki drew the attention of the nation to the alleged plot at the senate plenary on Wednesday. He subsequently proceeded to the State House with nine either other senators to report Mr Idris to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Investigation into the roles of the suspects has been completed and they were about to be under prosecution under the state law on the advice of DPP (Department of Public Prosecution) and the (state) ministry of justice, Mr Saraki said Wednesday. All of a sudden, he added, the suspects were ordered to be transferred to Abuja Wednesday morning.

The police denied trying to frame Mr Saraki in a statement Wednesday night, warning the lawmaker to desist from interfering in an ongoing criminal probe.

Kwara governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, also claimed the police was seeking ways of incriminating the state government, and denied any links to the arrested cultists and thugs.

On Thursday the chief registrar of the Kwara State judiciary wrote to the police command in the state, demanding that the suspects should be brought back.

The registrar confirmed that the police had made entry for the prosecution of the suspects in the state, saying t

You would recall that on the 15th day of May 2018, your officers brought a First Information Report (F.I.R) containing the following names for the offences of criminal conspiracy, cultism and culpable homicide, the chief deputy registrar, N.A. Adeyanju, said in a letter to Kwara deputy police commissioner in charge of criminal investigation.

The letter listed the names of the suspects in the FIR as Abolaji Ojulari, Lanre Solihu, Aziz Mayaki and Suleiman Babatunde.

However, due to the fact that the police prosecutors were withdrawn, we asked your officers to return them and bring them back on 16th day of May 2018. Now that the police prosecutors are available, please make necessary arrangement to bring them back to court for arraignment, the registrar said.

The names are amongst the six suspects the police said were transferred to Abuja from Ilorin yesterday, save for different spellings of two of the four names.

The registrar did not cite the legal basis for the request or acknowledged that the suspects had been transferred to Abuja as widely reported in the media following Mr Sarakis statement and subsequent police confirmation.

Kwara police spokesperson said he was not aware of the letter, but said the suspects had already been transferred to Abuja and detectives should be allowed to carry out their duties.

Mr Moshood, an assistant police commissioner, did not respond to PREMIUM TIMES enquiries about whether the police would yield the courts demand.President Muhammadu Buhari is currently hosting top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the South-west region to a dinner at the new Banquet Hall of the State House Villa, Abuja.

Before the commencement of the dinner holding behind closed doors, Mr Buhari called on the leadership of APC from the South-west to take the forthcoming governorship election in Ekiti State seriously.

He said APC needs to have the last laugh after the July 14, 2018 elections.

Kayode Fayemi defeated other contestants in the APC primary election that held on Saturday.

The party had to reschedule the election after the first primary ended in commotion.

Mr Buhari on Wednesday said he called for the dinner to calm frayed nerves and to appeal that APC members work together for the success of the party in the coming elections.

He said Ekiti will ultimately benefit if the party wins.

Notable personalities at the dinner include the national leader of the APC and former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu; former Osun State governor, Bisi Akande; and the National Chairman of the APC, John Odigie-Oyegun.

Others include the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha; Segun Oni, the minister of mines; and Kayode Fayemi.

Governors at the meeting include Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo) and Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State, who was the chairman of APC Ekiti governorship primary committee.

Some members of the National Assembly, ministers and other top APC leaders from the zone are also attending the dinner.

If the violence continues unchecked, Nigeria may slip into a killing field where the government and security agencies will become increasingly helpless, a group said.

The National Working Group on Peace and Conflict Prevention, an initiative of the Journalists for Democratic Rights, (JODER) after its mid-week meeting in Lagos said reports of violence and mind-boggling incidences of killings of people including children, the aged and the physically challenged have been grossly underreported owing to lack of access to the media and official censorship.

The meeting was attended by 30 representatives of ethnic, religious and community-based groups spread across the country.

The Working Group in a report after the national meeting said verifiable evidence from volunteers in troubled communities indicate that an average of 50 people are killed every week in the Middle Belt hotspots.

It said the government appears not to have an effective peace initiative backed with an economic road map apart from procurement of sophisticated arms and ammunition.

The report was signed by Akinwale Kasali, Sulaiman Sanusi and Digifa Werinipre. The group said following the 18-month nationwide peace building programme with the support of the Ford Foundation, it was able to attain an important status to receive prompt and adequate report on the killings and wanton destruction of lives which assume dangerous proportion daily.

In April, the working group facilitated a meeting of representatives of community-based groups in the South and Middle belt attended by about 120 representatives.

It urged the Presidency and the National Assembly to create a non-military, multi-national and bilateral mechanism for the quick resolution of the festering crisis. The Working Group said the federal government urgently needs to engage community and faith-based groups in troubled spots where violence rages especially in the Middle Belt as part of the steps needed to put an end to incessant killings.

The group said apart from the constructive engagement of local groups, there is the need for a civil multinational mechanism to work out modalities towards bringing the crisis to an end. The fundamental causes of the growing crisis must be identified and the problems can be solved.

We are in a very tempestuous situation in Nigeria. The most important ingredients of living are the sanctity of human lives, the dignity of people and economic security. These factors are fading away. There cannot be prosperity unless there is stability. The future of democracy in Nigeria depends solely on how the country can stop mass killings and protect human lives, the group stated.

It said it had written series of letters to the Presidency and the National Assembly but regrets that no practical steps have been taken.

It observed that while Nigeria has a multi-national military framework, there is no equivalent of such trans-border community device driven by the civil population warning that the crisis cannot be solved mainly through naked military force.

It said that the crisis in the middle belt has led to too many consequences including a kind of arms race where people are ready to fight to a bitter end due to escalation of conflict arising from the loss of loved ones. There is no adequate security for community bridge builders while the violations of human rights of non-actors by security operatives diminish the prospect of public cooperation.

Parties in the dispute are procuring sophisticated weapons to prosecute the attacks on each other. This comes as the direct effect of the lack of confidence in the security operatives who face strong suspicion of partisanship, the lack of political will to mop up illicit weapons and the absence of a neutral third party that enjoys the goodwill of the contending forces, constitute major challenges.

The Working Group said it will continue to visit the troubled spots with the aim of obtaining useful information and ideas that will help bring an end to the fledging violence. The group plans to hold its meetings across the six geo-political zones.BudgIT, a civil society organisation has expressed disapproval of the recently passed 2018 budget as being overly optimistic, especially the 2.3 million barrels per day (bpd) oil production benchmark and other revenue indicators.

Head of Research at BudgiT, Atiku Samuel, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday that the Federal Government was likely to fall short in the performance of the budget for over estimating its revenue.

Even in the former proposal, as submitted by President Buhari, we felt that the budget was overly optimistic and ambitious.

This is because in recent years, Federal Governments revenue have not gone above N3.5 trillion.

So quoting a revenue of N6 trillion in the 2018 budget is overly ambitious and we feel that it wont happen, thus financing a N9.12 trillion budget on the back of such revenue is unrealistic.

Indeed crude oil prices is going up to almost 80 dollars per barrel, and so if the crude oil price is raised to N51 dollars per barrel, it seems okay, but our biggest issue is the oil production numbers.

Can we produce 2.3 million barrels per day? And the answer is no. We are currently producing about 1.8 million to two million bpd and I dont see us going above that.

Even the 2.2 million bpd quoted in the 2017 budget was never met so I dont see us doing 2.3 million bpd now, he said.

Mr Samuel said also, that with the over-hyped nature of the 2018 revenue projections, the capital expenditure component would suffer the most.

Also, the rainy season is already here, therefore little construction will take place until the end of the year, so this will also affect the capital expenditure framework, he said.

Also, we wish to state that the country is spending too much on debt servicing. Even the entire oil revenue of Nigeria cannot service the countrys debt.

That shows that the government needs to ensure that other variables within the economy begins to pay their fair share of tax, he said.

He also urged the Federal Government to address its revenue loopholes by effectively monitoring its revenue agencies.

He said that the federal government could generate about N70 trillion through operating surplus from its agencies, yet was receiving so little because its agencies are infamous for under remittance.

He called for an holistic financial, compliance and performance audit of agencies such as JAMB, NAFDAC and NNPC among others.

The National Assembly on Wednesday passed the 2018 Appropriation Bill of N9.12 trillion.

After consultation with the executives, the budget was increased by the legislature by N508 billion, from the N8.61 trillion proposed by President Muhammadu Buhari in November, 2017.

The budget expenditure was premised on oil price benchmark of 51 dollars per barrel as against 45 dollars proposed by the president.

Crude oil production was benchmarked at 2.3 million barrels per day and exchange rate of N305 to one dollar.

Of the aggregate expenditure of N9.12 trillion, N530 billion was earmarked for Statutory Transfers while N2 trillion was earmarked for Debt Service.

N3.5 trillion was earmarked for Recurrent Expenditure, N2.8 trillion for Capital Expenditure, while Deficit to Gross Domestic Product was put at -1.73 per cent.

The increase in oil benchmark increased allocations to the following critical sectors of the economy; security N46.72 billion; health N57.15 billion; power, works and housing N106.50 billion.

Budget deficit was also reduced by N50.88 billion. (NAN)President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday met with a former Borno State governor, Ali Sheriff, in his office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Mr Sheriff, who left the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), to serve as the national chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), arrived the presidents office at about 2:40 p.m.

He recently rejoined the APC.

He left the presidential villa at about 3:45 p.m. without speaking to journalists.

Mr Sheriff was Borno governor at the formative stage of the Boko Haram terror group and has been accused by many of being an initial sponsor of the group. He has, however, repeatedly denied the allegations.Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment, says Nigeria is abundantly blessed in human and natural resources, but lags behind smaller or even less-endowed African countries in productivity and competitiveness.

Mr Ngige said this at a news conference to commemorate the 17th National Productivity Day and Conferment of National Productivity Order of Merit (NPOM) Award on Thursday in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the President Muhammadu Buhari has approved May 22, for the 2018 annual National Productivity Day and Conferment of National Productivity Order of Merit Award.

In order to achieve high productivity and competitiveness, therefore, Nigerias productivity and competitiveness gap, as a matter of priority, needs to be closed.

So, real competitiveness means the ability to produce goods and services that can compete in the domestic and international markets while promoting and maintaining a high living standard and quality of life for the people.

Therefore, only nations with organisations that have high levels of productivity will become domestically and globally competitive.

This has the capacity to exploit existing market opportunities to sustain and expand employment and real income growth in the long term, he said.

He said that the present administrations commitment to the change and sustainable growth cannot be overemphasised as it would improve the standard of living of Nigerians.

He said that the government was conscious of the critical place of productivity in the realisation of the change agenda.

No nation can be self-reliant and competitive in the international market without productivity improvement in all sectors of the economy.

Productivity is indeed the most important determinant of socio-economic growth, wealth creation, employment generation and overall improved standard of living. Indeed, no nation enjoys a standard of living higher than its level of productivity.

Given this cardinal role of productivity, it is imperative that the citizenry be consistently reminded of the need for developing a productive mindset that would ensure the productivity growth of all sector of the economy, he said.

He said it was against the backdrop that the federal government through the National Policy on Productivity declared that a day shall be observed as the National Productivity Day throughout the country yearly.

Speaking, Kashim Akor, Director-General, National Productivity Centre (NPC), said that selection of the awardees was done by a committee set up for the purpose of the nomination.

Mr Akor said the nomination of the individuals awardees was based on efficiency, hard work, innovation, creativity, punctuality, among others to the development of their organizations.

He also noted that the nomination for the companies was based on those that are contributing to the diversification aspect of the government.

We also look at their contributions to the economy, generation of wealth, creation of jobs, and acclaimed breakthrough in terms of research among others, he said.

He said as part of the programme to mark the day, there would an Award Lecture with the theme: Productivity for Economic Recovery and Sustainable Growth by Ibukun Awosika, Chairman, Board of Directors, First Bank of Nigeria Ltd.The All Progressives Congress (APC) has inaugurated State Congress Committees to conduct congresses on Saturday in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The committees consist of five members for each state.

The party also at the partys secretariat on Thursday inaugurated three-member committees to entertain appeals that may arise from the state congresses.

Some State Congress Committee chairmen are Pius Odubu (Adamawa), Danjuma Danbazzau (Taraba), Austin Eweka (Kano), Domingo Obende (Niger), Jonathan Zwingina (Abia), Olugbenga Obadara (Delta),Uche Ekwunife (Lagos), Mathew Omegara (Ondo), Peter Obadan (Ogun), Abdullahi Gwarzo (Oyo) among others.

The Appeal Committees consist of Chris Akoma as chairman of Ebonyi State, Gbenga Elegbeleye (Rivers), Bashir Lado (Ogun), Abubakar Maikudi (Bauchi), Jerry Ugog (Kano), and Kogolo Peter (Imo).

APC National Organising Secretary, Osita Izunaso, inaugurated the committees on behalf of the National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun.

Mr Izunaso said the congress must be conducted in strict conformity with the official APC Guidelines for State Congresses on.

He said the State Congress Committees are expected to hold meetings with participants in the respective states on Friday before Saturdays nationwide congresses to elect state executive committees which include the traditional 17-member State Working Committees.

The Organising Secretary urged the Congress Committees to ensure a free, fair, democratic and transparent process. He also warned against unilateral postponement of state congresses without approval by the partys National Working Committee (NWC).

Dont deny anybody who has a payment teller a form. It is undemocratic You dont have the power to postpone the election. If you go to a State and you find out that it is impossible to conduct the election, you inform the NWC for approval. The National Convention is closeby, we want to conclude these processes as quickly as possible.

For the Appeal Committees, Mr Izunaso said every petition from individuals who contested elections must be entertained. He cautioned the Appeal Committees to gauge the security situation in their respective state in deciding where to hold appeal sittings. He said the NWC has the final decision on appeals.

If the place is volatile for the Appeal Committee, and they cannot sit there, you can sit in Abuja.A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory on Thursday adjourned the trial of Kogi State Senator, Dino Melaye, indefinitely, on the basis of his medical condition.

The police is prosecuting Mr Melaye in Abuja and in Lokoja.

In Abuja, he is accused of attempted suicide and damaging government property, after he attempted to jump out of a moving police vehicle. He was later hospitalised.

In Lokoja, Mr Melaye is accused of providing false information to police and supplying arms to thugs.

The judge in Abuja, Olasunbo Goodluck, had asked the defense lawyer, Rickey Tarfa, to provide official explanation for Mr Melayes absence in court on Wednesday.

Following that order, Mr Tarfa, a senior advocate of Nigeria, provided a medical report from the National Hospital, Abuja, indicating that the Mr Melaye was in critical condition and under intensive care.

The prosecutor, Shuaibu Labaran, questioned the admissibility of the medical report.

According to Mr Labaran, the medical report admitted before the court was sourced from a piece of evidence tendered at the Kogi State High Court.

Mr Labaran argued that the medical report signed by a doctor, identified as Olaomi OO. from the National Hospital, was not obtained directly from lawyers in the matter before the FCT High Court.

He asked the court to hold that the failure of the defense to certify the photocopied medical report rendered the report officially defective.

It is our further submission that Exhibit B and C are duplicate copies of the supposed medical report emanating from the National Hospital, which the defense placed heavy reliance to convince this court as to the justification behind the absence of the defendant in this case, he said.

Assuming the document emanated from the National Hospital Abuja, it has become a public document which requires certification.

Our objection is that it has no bearing with the document of this court, Mr Labaran submitted.

Mr Labaran also alleged that the information contained in the medical report were largely subject of speculations.

There was drama when the prosecutor argued that the medical report did not indicate that Mr Melayes health condition was critical.

Responding to a statement by the judge that the same medical report had indicated that the defendant was currently being held at the Intensive Care Unit, Mr Labaran pledged to suspend his objection once he saw the paragraph where the word: ICU was mentioned.

Alright read the last paragraph, said the judge.

After reading through the paragraph, Mr Labaran admitted seeing ICU, but denied pledging to suspend his objection.

His volte face triggered laughter in the court.

Delivery the ruling, the court held that based on the provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, the medical report was admissible and could be considered by the court.

Ms. Goodluck therefore adjourned the matter indefinitely.

This court is of the view that it can adjourn this matter sine-die until the medical conditions of the defendant is reported to have improved, the court ruled.Eight weeks after they returned to work, non-teaching workers of Nigerian universities have warned they may resume their strike.

The workers are angry over the failure of government to implement the agreement it reached with them during the strike.

They are also unhappy with the rate government is giving approvals for establishment of new universities, saying resources should be concentrated on raising standard of existing ones.

In a statement on Thursday, the workers urged Nigerians to persuade the federal government to implement the agreement so as to avert the resumption of the suspended strike.

The workers, who are members of three unions, NASU, SSANU, and NAAT, suspended their strike on March 15, three month and 10 days after it began.

Their gesture was on the basis that the Nigerian government will immediately implement the agreement reached with them.

Before suspending the strike, Samson Ugwoke, the national chairman of the Joint Action Committee of the three unions, at a press briefing on March 13 had warned the unions would not hesitate to resume it if government reneged on the agreement.

But the statement on Thursday signed by Mr Ugwoke and spokesperson of SSANU, Abdussobur Salaam, the unions said said Nigerians should not blame them if they resumes the nationwide industrial action.

They decried the reluctance of the federal government to implement the Memorandum of Understanding seven weeks after it was signed by the two parties.

According to the statement, SSANU at its 33rd Regular Meeting on May 10 and May 11 at Bayero University Kano, deliberated extensively on critical issues affecting the union, the educational sector, university sub-sector, and the nation as a whole.

The unions expressed disappointment that government has not implemented some aspects of the 2009 Agreement and other MoUs it entered into with university-based non- teaching staff unions.

According to the unions, the situation is an invitation to anarchy.

They also noted the continued disobedience of government to the National Industrial Court judgment of December 5, 2016 on university staff schools.

NEC notes that this development is unbecoming of a democratic government supposedly run under the rule of law. It has become the penchant of Government to choose which court judgments to obey and which to disregard. In cases where an attempt is made to obey court judgments, implementation is done selectively and at whim, the union said in the statement.

It also decried the the rate of approvals for establishments of universities by the government.

The union said establishment of universities has almost become like constituency projects, as almost every senator seems to be sponsoring a bill for the establishment or upgrade of an institution to a university in his or her constituency.

The union urged the federal government to improve the funding and infrastructures of existing universities so as to increase their carrying capacities, noting that though the universities on ground may have challenges meeting up with the increasing admission needs of the country, the solution is not the proliferation of universities.

The union said the two owner states of LAUTECH (Oyo and Osun) are yet to reinstate the monthly personnel allocations to the Ogbomoso-based institution.

Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH, Ogbomosho

This development has caused workers of the university to be owed upward of eleven months in arrears of salaries. We urged the governors of the two states to take a step further in the resolution of the crises in LAUTECH by promptly reinstating the monthly personnel emoluments of the university, the statement said.

The union also urged the governing council of NIGER DELTA UNIVERSITY (NDU) to reinstate the disengaged staff or face industrial action from SSANU and review its unpopular policy of disengaging the workforce.

It said it is important for university councils and managements to be creative in generating funds and innovate means to connect with industry.

The union also called for monitoring of the general payment of fees in universities across the country so as to ensure that students are not exploited by all manners of fees.

We supports the directive barring federal universities from charging tuition fees. Government may have directed the stoppage of tuition fees, university managements may spread the costs of the stopped tuition fees on other ancillary fees such as Acceptance Fees, Caution Fees, Medical Fees, among others, the statement said.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how the federal government on March 10,2018 said it will look for N8 billion withinfive weeks to pay the striking workers.

Spokespersons of the federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity, Samuel Olowokere, and the Federal Ministry of Education, Chinyere Ihuoma, did not respond to calls and text messages sent to them for their comments.The Federal Executive Council (FEC) presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari approved $995 million for the reconstruction of the phase II of AbujaKeffiAkwangaLafiaMakurdi road.

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, revealed this to State House correspondents at the end of the Councils meeting held at the Council Chamber of the Presidential villa, Abuja, on Wednesday.

He said the $995 million for the execution of the project would be obtained from the China-Exim Bank as loan.

I need to stress that this section that comprises 16:0 kilometers, which is the Lagos by-pass and the section that also comprises 251.7 kilometers from Ninth Mile through Otukpo to Makurdi.

The reason is that it is the Abuja -Keffi road which was awarded in 2015, for which finance is now available.

So, this is the second phase for which the finance is not yet available but the award is the pre-condition to now get the loan from the China-Exim Bank, so that by the time work on the first phase finishes, we can seamlessly continue the second phase all the way to Makurdi, he said.

The minister also disclosed that another N15.45 billion was approved for the reconstruction of 58.9 kilometer MagamaKwajaniNingi road connecting Bauchi and Kano states.

(NAN)The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has debunked the accusation that he orchestrated the recent arrest of some youth in Kwara South by the Police.

In a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja, the minister said that he vehemently rejects this accusation levelled by Kwara South Youths Stakeholders.

In the statement signed by his Special Adviser, Segun Adeyemi, the minister stressed that he had nothing to do with the arrest of the youth.

He said he believed that, contrary to the allegation by the stakeholders, the arrest had nothing to do with the Ward Congress in his hometown of Oro.

After all, suspected cultists were also recently arrested and paraded by the police in Ilorin.

The police, in the exercise of their constitutional responsibility, do not need to be goaded by anyone to carry out arrests where necessary, he said.

Concerning the outcome of the election in his Oro Ward 2, the minister said he had made his observations on the conduct known to the appropriate party authorities, in line with his strong belief in the rule of law.

Suffice it to say, however, that the only credible Ward election was the one held by the genuine party members in Oro Ward 2.

That explains why, after the election, there was a rally around Oro Town that eventually terminated in my country home,

The minister stressed that he did not believe there was any linkage between the election and the arrests.

(NAN)Nigerias Chief of Army Staff, Yusuf Buratai, has said that the Army will collaborate with other security agencies in the country to dislodge miscreants who hide in Birnin Gwari axis along Kaduna expressway to wreck havoc on innocent citizens.

Mr Buratai, who spoke with State House correspondents shortly after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, said concerns over the unabated killings led to the formation of an army battalion in the area.

We will continue to cooperate along with other security agencies that are charged with the responsibility of securing our country and the deployment of a unit there is quite strategic, it is in line with the Nigerian Army order of battle that was approved in 2016.

We have to implement all of them to achieve the strategic objectives of the government. This is essentially why we have to put the battalion there and to work with other security agencies, the army chief said.

On the status of report regarding the activities of Boko Haram in the North-east, Mr Buratai assured that the ongoing Operation Last Hold by troops will further consolidate the armys achievements in the area.

He said the operation which is aimed at consolidating on the overall successes made by the army will culminate in the eventual return of the Internally Displaced Person (IDPs) to their various communities.

It has gone very successful, its progressing very well and be rest assured that the Operation Last Hold will further consolidate on our achievements so far but we hope the internally displaced persons from that community will go back to their communities and pick up their lives again.

 I think that is the aim of Operation Last Hold, it is a consolidation of the overall successes that we have achieved in the North-east, Mr Buratai said.Residents around a police station in Port Harcourt have reportedly fled their homes after soldiers stormed their neighbourhood to carry out a reprisal attack against police officers.

A soldier was reportedly shot dead by a police officer at the police station along Ada George Road in downtown Port Harcourt on Wednesday night.

John Agim, spokesperson for the Defence Headquarters, told PREMIUM TIMES a soldier was killed Wednesday night, but said an investigation would unravel what led to the use of lethal force by the unnamed police officer.

Yesterday evening, a soldier was killed, but I do not know what led to it, Mr Agim told PREMIUM TIMES by telephone Wednesday. His colleagues heard about it and launched a reprisal attack.

Mr Agim could not immediately say if anyone was killed during the reprisal attack. He said a joint investigation by the police and the Nigerian Army would clarify the issue.

There is going to be a joint investigation between the police and the Nigerian Army, Mr Agim, a brigadier-general, added.

Some residents around the police station scampered for safety after waking up to see a contingent of troops in their neighbourhood.

Boma Fineface, a resident of the area who told PREMIUM TIMES of his ordeal, said the soldiers scared many residents away.

He said about two police officers were arrested and taken to a Nigerian Army detention facility at Bori Camp Headquarters in Port Harcourt.

The Rivers State police commissioner, Zaki Ahmed, and the commands spokesperson, Omoni Nnamdi, did not immediately return several calls and text messages seeking comments Thursday afternoon.

Nigerian soldiers often embark on reprisal attacks against sister agencies or even private individuals and organisation.

Last month, soldiers stormed a community in Benue State and razed large parts of it in a reprisal attack that followed claims that one of their colleagues was lynched by the townspeople.

In December, soldiers clashed with police officers in Ekiti State, causing commotion and anxiety amongst residents.

But todays fracas in Port Harcourt would be amicably resolved between the police and the Nigerian Army, in a remarkable departure from the previous clashes, Mr Agim said.For the New World Order, a world government is just the beginning.

DUBLIN, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Marine Engine Monitoring System Market by Engine Type (Propulsion Engine, Auxiliary Engine), End Use (OEM, Aftermarket), Component (Hardware, Software), Ship Type (Commercial, Naval), Deployment (On-Board, Remote) & Region - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The marine engine monitoring system market is estimated to be USD 508.4 Million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 656.5 Million by 2025, at a CAGR of 3.72% during period 2018 to 2025.

This growth can be attributed to the increase in international seaborne trade, the rise in the demand for deliveries of smart engines, recreational boats, and growth in maritime tourism.

The marine engine monitoring system market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). The marine engine monitoring system market in Europe is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to increasing investments in the defense sector and restructuring efforts undertaken by ship manufacturing companies in the region.

Asia Pacific is the largest market for marine engine monitoring system. Over the past few years, this region has witnessed rapid economic development as well as the growth of the manufacturing and energy sectors, thereby increasing maritime trade. The rise in seaborne trade has subsequently led to an increase in the demand for ships used to transport manufactured goods worldwide. Thus, the increase in the number of ships has contributed to the growing demand for propulsion systems and propellers in the region. China, South Korea, and Japan are the key markets for marine engine monitoring systems in the Asia Pacific region.

The marine engine monitoring system market is anticipated to witness significant growth in the near future, primarily driven by the growth in international seaborne trade and increased demand for marine propellers from the new shipbuilding & repair market. Increased navy budgets worldwide, rise in the usage of inland waterways, and technological innovations in marine propulsion systems are key opportunities in the market. However, factors such as stringent environmental regulations and uncommon data standards are restraining the growth of the market. Fluctuation in oil prices, shipping overcapacity, and low freight rates are key challenges for market growth.

CHICAGO, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- It might have been one of the coldest Aprils in the region's recorded history, but home sales in the seven-county metropolitan Chicago area took a turn to the warmer side last month. Overcoming chilly temperatures and a continued shortage of homes listed for sale, April generated a +3.2% sales increase over April 2017, according to a RE/MAX analysis, and that came after declines of -6.4% in the first quarter of this year and -8.7% in March alone.

Home sales for the metro area totaled 10,404 units in April, up from 10,078 a year earlier. It was the highest level of April sales recorded since 2006. The median sales price gained +2.9% to $252,000, and the average time a home sold in April spent on the market before going under contract declined to 80 days from 90 in April 2017.

"While the number of homes for sale in the Chicago area continues to trail last year's total, the gap got smaller in April," said Jeff LaGrange, Vice President of the RE/MAX Northern Illinois Region. "The end-of-April inventory of homes for sale was -5.1% lower than the prior April, but that's better than the -8.8% difference we saw in March. We'd love to see that trend continue."

LaGrange noted that the improvement in the inventory situation was occurring in the attached-home segment of the market where the listing inventory was up +3.3%. In contrast, the inventory of detached homes for sale was -8.2% lower than it had been 12 months earlier. However, LaGrange pointed out that even the detached inventory picture is something of an improvement over first-quarter results, where the year-over-year decline was -11.9%.

Sales data used by RE/MAX is collected by MRED, the regional multiple listing service. It covers detached and attached homes in the Illinois counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will. Detached homes are typically stand-alone single-family dwellings. Attached homes include condominium and cooperative apartments along with townhouses.

Total April home sales were up in all seven metro counties, as well as in Chicago. Sales rose +3.2% in Cook, +5.1% in DuPage, +6% in Kane, +1.3% in Kendall, +0.8% in Lake, +4.6% in McHenry and +0.8% in Will. Chicago sales gained +2.1%.

Median prices were also up across the board, gaining +2.6% in Cook, +6.1% in DuPage, +2.9% in Kane, +6.9% in Kendall, +4.2% in Lake, +3.6% in McHenry and +3% in Will. The increase in Chicago was +4%.

Detached-Home Sales

Sales of detached homes gained +2.2% in the metro area in April, with 6,423 homes changing hands, compared to 6,287 in April of last year. The median sales price was $275,000, a gain of +5%, and average market time fell from 104 days a year earlier to 91 days this April.

Sales rose in five counties and in Chicago, while the median sales price rose in all seven counties and in Chicago. Sales activity increases were strongest in Kendall, up +6.1%, and Chicago, up +7.9%. Other gains ranged from +4.2% in Kane to +1.2% in McHenry.

Increases in median sales price varied from a high of +7.1% in Kendall to +2.9% in DuPage. The listing inventory at the end of April was 20,457 units, equivalent to a 3.2-month supply based on the pace of April sales.

Attached-Home Sales

Total sales of attached homes equaled 3,981 units in April, an increase of +5% over the same month last year. Of that total, 69% were in Cook County, and Chicago alone accounted for 42.1%.

The inventory of attached homes at the end of April was 8,628 units, equal to just a 2.2- month supply, a situation that should continue to encourage new construction, according to LaGrange.

Sales activity rose in six counties led by a gain of +18.9% in McHenry. Cook County sales rose +3.5% though Chicago sales were down -1.1%. The only county with lower sales was Kendall, which had a -10.6% decline. Other results were gains of +11.7% in Kane, +10.4% in Will, +8.5% in DuPage and +4.3% in Lake.

Six counties had a higher median price, while Cook was unchanged. Gains were +10.8% in McHenry, +8.6% in Kane, +7.6%, in Will, +7.5% in Kendall, +6.9% in DuPage and +4.8% in Lake. The Chicago median rose +3%.

As a technology leader, AITHERAS is always evaluating new market solutions, but is careful and selective when vetting new tech to ensure customers get to choose from the highest quality products. AITHERAS cemented the partnership due to V5 Systems' security solutions, which have been validated in use and by 13 top technology awards to date, including three New Product of the Year awards from Security Today magazine and the "2017 Security's Best Award" from ASIS, the leading organization for security professionals worldwide.

This partnership allows AITHERAS to quickly expand its security offerings to the outdoor security market. Adding surveillance to outdoor environments was previously limited by security products that require a fixed power source and cumbersome installation process. V5 Systems' award-winning security solutions can be deployed where there is no connection to the electrical grid. As a result, public safety can be easily and rapidly expanded in outdoor areas where wired infrastructure does not exist. For example, smart cities can deploy and redeploy these self-powered devices to cover blind spots and outdoor events, as well as to track criminal activity wherever it moves.

Joseph T. Friend, SVP of Corporate Development at AITHERAS, said "We are very excited about our relationship with V5 Systems. We believe that the technology that V5 Systems has developed is cutting-edge for our customers and will provide comprehensive security and predictive analytics for potential breaches. We have never seen anything like this technology. Our partnership positions both companies to be on the leading edge of outdoor security."

EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Student loans are usually something that borrowers want to get out of the way. Thinking about having student loans for years or even decades can be a discouraging thought. But student loan repayment can be a long-term process and still be manageable for the borrower. American Financial Benefits Center (AFBC), a document preparation company that helps student loan borrowers apply for and stay enrolled in federal repayment plans, encourages borrowers to think about long-term student loan repayment.

"Borrowers who know about income-driven repayment should know that a long repayment is not necessarily a bad thing," said Sara Molina, Manager at AFBC. "It's understandable that folks want to get that debt off their plate, out of their life, and with less payable interest. But for people who really need it, an extended repayment term may be a good option."

Income-driven repayment plans (IDRs) are offered to federal loan borrowers by the Department of Education. The plans may benefit borrowers because they base monthly payments on income and family size, often making them a more affordable plan for borrowers. However, borrowers may be hesitant to enter into these plansor stay in them for longbecause the repayment period for IDRs is 20 or 25 years.

Borrowers are able to leave the plans if they want, but they must be conscious of possible ramifications like interest capitalization if they do so. Depending on the circumstances, borrowers may be allowed to remain in the plan and overpay each month so they end up with a shorter loan term. A key feature of these plans, however, is loan forgiveness of any remaining balance at the end of the 20 or 25 years of repayment. While this forgiveness may be taxed, the loan balance forgiven may still be high enough to make financial sense for borrowers who decide to stretch out repayment.

AFBC is a private, independent company which has helped thousands of borrowers successfully apply for IDRs and get on track to potential loan forgiveness. AFBC continues to support clientele with yearly recertification throughout the life of their student loans.

"Borrowers in IDRs are so much less likely to default or fall behind with their loans," said Molina. "This has a huge, positive effect on a borrower's finances. We're happy to have given borrowers real support in applying for a better repayment plan and take pride in continuing that support."

BALTIMORE, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, the American Urological Association (AUA), a leading global urology association, released a new clinical guideline on the surgical management of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

LUTS is a term used to describe a range of symptoms related to problems of the lower urinary tract (bladder, prostate and urethra). They can include such 'storage' symptoms as a sudden or urgent need to urinate and increased frequency of urination at night (nocturia) to such 'voiding' symptoms as a weak urine stream or the inability to empty the bladder completely. While LUTS can affect men of any age, they are more common in older men, and more often attributed to an enlarged prostate gland, otherwise known as BPH.

Once diagnosed, treatment will depend on the cause and severity of LUTS, which is why the AUA guideline panel strongly suggests physicians and patients engage in a shared decision making process to select the best care option for each individual patient.

"There are many effective surgical options for treating LUTS due to BPH," said Harry E. Foster, Jr., MD, Chair of the guideline development panel and Professor in the Department of Urology at Yale University School of Medicine. "Selecting optimal care for each patient can be an involved process that requires physicians to help patients make informed decisions regarding their treatment plans. This new clinical guideline offers both a framework to facilitate such shared decision-making, and guidance as to which surgical treatments are appropriate for treating BPH."

The focus of this guideline is on the treatment of LUTS attributed to BPH, utilizing common surgical techniques and minimally invasive surgical therapies. The new guideline makes 22 recommendations in total, including:

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) should be offered as a treatment option for men with LUTS attributed to BPH.

Clinicians may use a monopolar or bipolar approach to TURP, depending on their expertise with these techniques.

Clinicians should consider open, laparoscopic or robotic assisted prostatectomy, depending on their expertise with these techniques, for patients with large prostates.

Clinicians should consider photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) as an option using 120W or 180W platforms for patients for the treatment of LUTS attributed to BPH

Clinicians should consider PUL as an option for patients with LUTS attributed to BPH provided prostate volume <80g and verified absence of an obstructive middle lobe; however, patients should be informed that symptom reduction and flow rate improvement is less significant compared to TURP.

Water vapor thermal therapy may be offered to patients with LUTS attributed to BPH provided prostate volume <80g; however, patients should be informed that evidence of efficacy, including longer-term retreatment rates, remains limited.

Clinicians should consider holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) or thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP), depending on their expertise with either technique, as prostate size-independent suitable options for the treatment of LUTS attributed to BPH.

HoLEP, PVP, and ThuLEP should be considered in patients who are at higher risk of bleeding, such as those on anti-coagulation drugs.

The guideline was developed by a panel with specific expertise in the guideline subject. It was distributed to peer reviewers of varying backgrounds as part of the AUA's extensive peer review process before being approved by the AUA Board of Directors. The full guideline is available online at www.auanet.org/BPH.

About the American Urological Association: Founded in 1902 and headquartered near Baltimore, Maryland, the American Urological Association is a leading advocate for the specialty of urology, and has more than 21,000 members throughout the world. The AUA is a premier urologic association, providing invaluable support to the urologic community as it pursues its mission of fostering the highest standards of urologic care through education, research and the formulation of health policy.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A baker's dozen of Bay Area highway, transit and goods-movement projects today earned more than $660 million in new funding as the California Transportation Commission (CTC) finalized its first awards through a trio of competitive statewide programs established by the Senate Bill 1 transportation investment package signed into law by Gov. Brown last year. Projects in the nine-county Bay Area, which accounts for about 20 percent of the state population, earned more than 25 percent of the total $2.642 billion awarded today by the CTC through the Solutions for Congested Corridors, Trade Corridor Enhancement and Local Partnership programs. This is on top of the $1.4 billion awarded last month to 10 Bay Area transit projects for distribution over the next decade by the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) through its Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program, which includes both SB 1 and state cap-and-trade funds.

"SB 1 is already playing a critical role in making California companies more competitive, and the CTC and CalSTA deserve a lot of credit for their hard work in putting these dollars to work quickly," commented Metropolitan Transportation Commission Chair and Rohnert Park City Councilmember Jake Mackenzie. "Both agencies recognize the need to expand the Bay Area transportation network to catch up with recent growth and the need to modernize our freeways, transit systems and freight corridors to maintain the Bay Area's position as an engine for economic growth throughout the state."

The largest of the CTC's SB 1 awards for the Bay Area is a $233 million commitment to Caltrans and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) through the Solutions for Congested Corridors program to establish express lanes along both directions of U.S. 101 between State Route 237 in Mountain View through San Mateo County to Interstate 380 near San Francisco International Airport. The CTC also awarded Caltrans $85 million through the Solutions for Congested Corridors program to complete the final Sonoma County portion of the multi-phase widening of U.S. 101 through the Marin-Sonoma Narrows.

Awards for Bay Area projects approved for funding through the Trade Corridor Enhancement Program include $175 million for the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) to build a grade-separation that will carry 7th Street over railroad tracks serving the Port of Oakland; $12 million for ACTC and the Port of Oakland to implement their GoPort package of intelligent transportation system elements; $53 million for Caltrans and the Solano Transportation Authority to tackle a second phase of the reconfiguration of the Cordelia Junction between I-80 and State Route 12; $4 million for VTA to develop plans for a new U.S. 101/State Route 25 interchange south of Gilroy; and $4 million for the City of Emeryville to improve at-grade rail crossings in the East Bay city.

Projects approved by the CTC for SB 1 funding through the competitive Local Partnership Program include $34 million for the Contra Costa Transportation Authority to upgrade the I-680/State Route 4 interchange; $20 million for San Mateo County agencies to advance the U.S. 101 Express Lanes project; $17 million for VTA to improve the U.S. 101 and Highway 237 interchanges with Mathilda Avenue; $15 million for AC Transit to buy hybrid buses; $7 million for improvements to Jefferson Street in San Francisco; and $3 million to upgrade Rumrill Blvd. in San Pablo.

Each of the 10 Bay Area transit projects selected last month by CalSTA to receive SB 1 funds through the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program is slated to receive money in the 2018-19 to 2022-23 fiscal years. These include Phase 2 of the BART-to-Silicon Valley extension ($238 million); BART's Transbay Core Capacity project ($144 million); new railcars for Caltrain's soon-to-be electrified service ($123 million); Capitol Corridor enhancements ($80 million); Muni's Transit Capacity Expansion Program ($27 million); SMART's Larkspur-to-Windsor Corridor Project ($21 million); the Livermore-Amador Valley Transit Authority's Dublin/Pleasanton capacity improvement program ($21 million); SamTrans' U.S. 101 Express Bus pilot ($15 million); AC Transit's Zero-Emission Bus purchase program ($14 million); and regional transit improvements in Solano County ($11 million). Funding agreements for fiscal years 2023-24 through 2027-28 include an extra $492 million for Phase 2 of the BART-to-Silicon Valley extension; another $174 million for BART's Transbay Core Capacity projects; and $41 million for further expansion of the Caltrain railcar fleet.

SB 1, formally known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, is expected to generate $52.4 billion for transportation investments over the next decade. This includes:

$24.4 billion by increasing the state excise tax on gasoline by 12 cents per gallon;

by increasing the state excise tax on gasoline by per gallon; $16.3 billion from an annual vehicle licensing fee based on vehicle value;

from an annual vehicle licensing fee based on vehicle value; $7.3 billion by increasing the state excise tax on diesel fuel by 20 cents per gallon;

by increasing the state excise tax on diesel fuel by per gallon; $3.5 billion by increasing the sales tax on diesel fuel to 5.75 percent;

by increasing the sales tax on diesel fuel to 5.75 percent; $706 million through repayments from the state General Fund; and

through repayments from the state General Fund; and $200 million from an annual $100 Zero Emission Vehicle fee that will start in 2020

The partnership with Lenovo helps enhance this by providing kids and teens with the knowledge to build simple apps and engaging them to shape their own experiences, while equipping Club staff with the resources to provide these fun, accessible moments over time.

"Expanding our partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs nationally is a natural extension to our long-standing relationship with the Research Triangle Clubs," said Lenovo North America president Matt Zielinski. "What's especially exciting about this initiative is that we're engaging Lenovo employees across the U.S. to help inspire Club members in their communities to pursue STEM studies and rewarding careers that they can find at companies like Lenovo."

During the hackathons, Club members break into teams and go through a series of steps to complete the project. The steps include: defining an audience and how the app will be used, developing a visual and a working prototype, and creating and practicing a presentation. Upon completion of the programming, Club members have the opportunity to present their app to showcase the knowledge and skills they learned from the program. Judges then award prizes to the winning teams.

Lenovo hosted its first hackathon earlier this month with Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta in Newnan, GA. Other events are planned for Hartford, CT; Santa Clara Valley, CA; Central Florida; Miami-Dade; Greater Dallas; King County, WA; Chicago and Greater Milwaukee. Lenovo is donating the PC equipment used for the hackathons.

He will assume this position this summer, continuing the organization's longstanding mission of improving the lives of children and adolescents with disorders and injuries of the brain, spinal cord and musculoskeletal system.

Dr. Schlaggar joins Kennedy Krieger after 19 years on the faculty of Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, where for the last four years he served as division head of pediatric and developmental neurology, co-director of the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center and neurologist-in-chief at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Prior to becoming division head, Dr. Schlaggar directed the pediatric neurology residency program for eight years.

"Brad Schlaggar is an amazing professional with incredible credentials," said Dr. Nancy Grasmick, co-chair of the CEO search committee. "He currently leads one of the finest pediatric neurological centers in the nation."

"Dr. Schlaggar will be an asset to the team of brilliant minds at Kennedy Krieger who are all dedicated to advancing care, education and research to help the young people we serve," Miller said. "He is an exemplary physician, researcher, and leader."

"Dr. Schlaggar and Kennedy Krieger are in a unique position to collaborate with others around the world to advance discoveries that will change children's lives for the better," said Dr. Gary Goldstein, the current president and CEO of Kennedy Krieger. "Just as importantly, he is caring and supportive of others, qualities that will make him a particularly good fit within the culture here at Kennedy Krieger."

Dr. Schlaggar earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Brown University, and his Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, where, after residency, he ascended the ranks to become the A. Ernest and Jane G. Stein Professor of Developmental Neurology, and professor of neurology, psychiatry, radiology, neuroscience, and pediatrics.

He currently serves as the chair-elect of the St. Louis Children's Hospital medical executive committee and is a member of many organizations including the American Neurological Association, Society for Pediatric Research and the Child Neurology Society.

His research using neuroimaging to investigate cognitive development has been recognized with several awards including the 2009 Norman Geschwind Award in Behavioral Neurology from the American Academy of Neurology and the 2013 E. Mead Johnson Award from the Society for Pediatric Research.

"I am honored to join Kennedy Krieger and to be a part of a community that works tirelessly to ensure each patient has the opportunity to embrace their full potential," Dr. Schlaggar said.

TUCSON, Ariz., May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AudioEye, Inc. (OTCQB: AEYE) ("AudioEye" or the "Company") a leader in technology-based website accessibility, and founded in the belief that it is the right of every individual to enjoy equal access to the Internet, and the responsibility of every entity to provide equal access to online content, today commends Assemblymember Adam Gray and the State of California for the introduction and passing of ACR No. 222, recognizing Global Accessibility Awareness Day in California today, May 17, 2018, and the third Thursday of May going forward.

"California is the birthplace of the tech revolution, so it is only fitting that our state leads the way in ensuring that the technological innovations made possible by so many ground-breaking companies and people are accessible to all," said Assemblymember Adam Gray from Assembly District 21, who introduced the resolution, which has already passed the State Assembly. The assemblymember added, "AB 434 was an important step in advancing the state's position on digital accessibility. Acknowledging a day that helps create global awareness of the importance of accessibility was the right next step."

In October 2017, the California Assembly passed Assembly Bill No. 434, requiring state agencies to make their respective sites accessible by July 1, 2019. Each state agency will be required to achieve conformance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, or any subsequent version, at a minimum Level AA success criteria. Compliance with the requirement would make the website of every state agency accessible to individuals relying on the use of assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation and/or other assistive devices that allow them to access and consume digital content.

Jennison Asuncion, a technology professional, co-founder and driving force behind Global Accessibility Awareness Day, spoke on behalf of GAAD. "As GAAD Co-founders and Californians working in tech, Joe Devon and I are more than thrilled to learn that the State that drives technological innovation is recognizing this day, which is all about raising awareness about digital access and inclusion for the one billion people who have disabilities."

AudioEye Board of Directors, Independent Director and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California, Tony Coelho, is credited by colleagues as the author of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Coelho has commended the state's act saying, "California has always taken a progressive stance on issues critical to people with disabilities. It is a simple act to acknowledge a day that brings awareness to the immensity of the barriers faced by people with disabilities as they try to participate equally in society."

Mr. Coelho added: "The Internet provides so many conveniences many of us take for granted. For people with disabilities, access to all the conveniences and benefits of the web, can be life changing. The fact that web accessibility has not been treated with equal importance as the need for accommodations in the physical world is disappointing. Like the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and subsequent movements to ensure equal rights for all people, with actions such as these taken by the State of California and champions like Assemblymember Gray, soon all people will truly experience equal access."

AudioEye, a company dedicated to inclusivity through technology, is hosting events in Atlanta, New York, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco to raise awareness of the importance of digital accessibility. AudioEye CEO Todd Bankofier leads the company with a focus on people first, "Accessibility is about people benefitting from the greatest technological advances in the history of the world. There is no reason we can't solve challenges created by technology with technology, to level the playing field for all people."

Mr. Bankofier added: "Global Accessibility Awareness Day began with a simple Blog post in 2011, ironically, by a Los Angeles-based web developer. Today, it is a global movement bringing together hundreds of thousands of people from technology and disability advocacy to keep the conversation going about how we can leverage technology for greater inclusivity. Global Accessibility Awareness Day is key to awareness across industries and organizations. We appreciate the leadership Assemblymember Gray and the State of California are taking to raise awareness and make a difference in the ability of all people to access the Internet, the great equalizer of our time, and level the playing field for all people."

About Global Accessibility Awareness Day

The idea of Global Accessibility Awareness Day started with a single blog post written by a Los Angeles-based web developer Joe Devon. Jemison Asuncion, an accessibility professional from Toronto discovered Joe's blog post purely by accident, thanks to coming across a tweet for Joe. After reading it, he immediately contacted Joe and they joined forces, leveraging their extensive and respective networks to realize the event.

Starting in 2015, rather than using a fixed date, Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is the third Thursday of May.

LITTLETON, Colo., May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CanPay, the first legitimate debit payment solution for the cannabis industry, today announced it processes ecommerce payments, bringing greater convenience, safety, and efficiencies to retailers and their customers. In addition to expanding payments online, CanPay has doubled the number of states it operates in nationwide to 14, including New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Michigan and New Mexico, serves 10's of thousands of users across 120 retail dispensaries, and integrates with leading POS systems OMMPOS and LeafLogix.

With the cannabis industry projected to exceed $24 billion by 2025 and over half of the U.S. population in support of legalization, it's no surprise the marketplace is thriving. As the industry becomes further established, ecosystem partners are primed to play a key role in further legitimizing it, and leading the charge is ecommerce. An influential aspect of any retail businessnearly 80 percent of Americans have made an online purchasecannabis will be no exception to the overwhelming convenience and profitability of the digital marketplace. As the original ecommercepayment integration for cannabis customers, CanPay further solidifies itself as the universal payment tool for purchases wherever cannabis is legally sold, enabling online orders for in-store pickup and delivery.

"The Cole Memo being rescinded caused a lot of market uncertainty in the first part of 2018. Now that the dust has settled, we're seeing more and more financial institutions come forward to serve the industry through compliant cannabis banking programs. We're also seeing more retail operators demand transparent, stable, and legitimate payment services to operate above reproach," said Dustin Eide, CEO of CanPay. "The rapid expansion of CanPay's services to-date is a testament not only to overall industry growth, but the massive need we're able to fulfill by de-cashing cannabis purchases."

Historically, ecommerce has not been available to the cannabis industry partially due to the extreme transparency online payment systems require. CanPay's solution opens the door and creates the opportunity for increased profitability for retailers through more effective online selling and higher spend per transaction. Simultaneously, the buying process becomes more convenient and safer for consumers.

"In forging a new cannabis culture built on unparalleled quality, access, and transparency, we've partnered with CanPay to provide customers with a legitimate, secure online payment option," said Patricia Rosi-Santucci, CEO of Wellness Connection of Maine. "As trailblazers, integrating with CanPay allows us to forge the next wave of cannabis retail through an ecommerce experience that offers customers a greater incentive to go cashless from a convenience and speed standpoint."

A national Hispanic conservative group is providing political support for Miami Republican Rep. Carlos Curbelo after he bucked GOP leadership last week in an attempt to force a vote on immigration legislation.

The LIBRE Initiative, a group backed by the Koch brothers, is releasing mailers in Curbelo's Miami-to-Key West congressional district this week thanking the incumbent facing a tough reelection effort for trying to get an immigration bill passed in the House of Representatives.

Curbelo initiated a petition last week that would allow the House of Representatives to vote rapid fire on four immigration bills while bypassing House Republican leaders. The bill that gets the most support beyond a simple majority passes the House of Representatives and heads to the Senate for consideration.

Curbelo's petition currently has the support of 20 Republicans, and it needs the support of about a half dozen more along with all Democrats to be successful. The Miami Republican initiated his effort after leadership stalled on putting a slew of immigration bills on the floor for consideration. About 690,000 DACA recipients are waiting for the courts to finalize their legal status after President Donald Trump's move to end an Obama-era program that protected them from deportation stalled earlier this year.

"I don't know that there's ever been a more fair, open and inclusive process than the one were proposing, and those who fear it is probably because they believe their own ideas are weak and they don't want to see what the scoreboard's going to say about that," Curbelo said.

The LIBRE Initiative's effort in Curbelo's district is part of a seven-figure campaign by the group, which includes a national television ad and advocacy on Capitol Hill and mailers to other lawmakers from both parties outside Florida. The group is also investing in voter education and outreach efforts in Central Florida, where thousands of Puerto Ricans have moved since Hurricane Maria in October of last year, ahead of the 2018 election.

"Our nation deserves leaders that are willing to take on the big issues facing our communities," LIBRE president Daniel Garza said in a statement. "This is why were highlighting the work of Congressman Carlos Curbelo, so Latinos and others understand that he is working toward a permanent, bipartisan, solution for Dreamers and improvements to border security. Sitting on the sidelines while Dreamers and our communities face growing uncertainty is not an option."

Curbelo faces a likely challenge from Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in November, provided both win their primaries against long-shot opposition.



CHICAGO, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Approximately 150 delivery drivers employed by The American Bottling Company will initiate an Unfair Labor Practice strike on Tuesday, May 22, 2018 at 3:00 a.m. The American Bottling Company is a subsidiary of Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (NYSE: DPS).

Teamsters Local 727 represents about 150 drivers, including Driver Service Representatives, Full Service/hourly Drivers, Bulk and Transport Drivers based out of the Company's Northlake and Harvey, Illinois facilities. Local 727 also represents over 300 production and warehouse Dr. Pepper employees who are covered by a separate collective bargaining agreement which is still in effect.

The Union's bargaining committee of rank-and-file members and Teamster representatives met 13 times with management since March 14th to try to reach an agreement on a new contract. The workers' contract expired April 30th at midnight and the Parties have not signed an extension. As a result, the Drivers have been working without a contract since May 1st. Throughout negotiations, Dr. Pepper management has committed several unfair labor practices. Consequently, after a thorough discussion of the Company's unlawful conduct during negotiations, the members authorized a strike as a result of Dr. Pepper's unlawful labor practices. The unfair labor practice strike will commence on May 22, 2018 at 3:00 a.m.

"Dr. Pepper management has completely disregarded our members through its violations of labor laws during bargaining," said John Coli Jr., Secretary-Treasurer of Local 727. "These drivers work tirelessly every day to deliver products to customers, whether it's in the 90-degree heat in the summers or below zero cold in the winters. To be treated with the disrespect that management has displayed during these negotiations is truly shameful. If this billion-dollar corporate bully thinks it can violate federal labor law and simultaneously offer to pay these workers substantially less than other equivalent workers in the beverage industry, it is sorely mistaken. Our members will not be bullied or paid half the pension that others in the same industry receive. We will stand behind them every step of the way and fight for what is right."

Teamsters Local 727 represents nearly 10,000 hardworking men and women throughout the Chicago area.

Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.4 million hardworking men and women throughout the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.

In early May of 2018, abusing his position as a member of the Saint Frances Academy faculty, Penalver engaged in sexual relations with a minor student. Worse yet, Penalver had begun grooming this student using his school email account since April. After the student sought his support for emotional and mental distress, instead of helping her, he used his position of trust and authority to sexually abuse, assault, and exploit her, coercing her into exchanging sexually explicit photographs and videos, and forcing her to engage in sexual acts while on school property-- acts to which she could not legally consent.

The lawsuit further alleges that, upon information and belief, Penalver harassed, engaged in inappropriate sexual communications with, and/or sexually abused, assaulted, and/or exploited other students at Saint Frances Academy. Upon information and belief, agents, employees, and/or administrators at Saint Frances Academy knew or should have known about Penalver's propensity to harass and exploit others, yet Saint Frances Academy, Inc., and the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Baltimore failed to protect Jill Doe and other students and failed to prevent Penalver's unconscionable actions.

Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that Saint Frances Academy administrators knew or should have known that, on or about November 12, 2017, Penalver had been formally charged with criminal harassment in the District Court of Maryland for Baltimore City. The lawsuit further alleges that, upon information and belief, prior to Penalver's assault of Jill Doe, members of the Saint Frances school community had knowledge that Penalver had previously engaged in inappropriate communications with other students. Saint Frances Academy, Inc.'s and the Archdiocese's failure to adequately and properly supervise Penalver, failure to adequately investigate complaints and concerns regarding Penalver's conduct and propensities, and failure to terminate Penalver on or before November 2017 exposed Jill Doe and others to a teacher with a propensity to harass, abuse, harm, and assault others. As such, the lawsuit claims that Saint Frances Academy, Inc. and the Archdiocese are liable for Penalver's actions.

Hassan Murphy, Managing Partner at Murphy, Falcon & Murphy, said today, "It is beyond disturbing that at Saint Frances Academy, an institution dedicated to the development and education of underprivileged Baltimore City youth, a teacher and administrator would be able to sexually harass, exploit, abuse and violate a student in this manner." Murphy added, "Saint Frances Academy and the Archdiocese's failure to protect their students from Penalver's proclivity to harass and violate others indicates a lack of leadership and a serious lack of appreciation for the immense faith bestowed upon their institution by the parents and families of their students." Murphy continued, "We call on Saint Frances to work with us to immediately identify any additional victims of this abhorrent conduct so that they may get the help and treatment that they desperately need. Victims of sexual abuse suffer dramatically increased incidences of suicidal behavior, self-harm, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Without treatment, these risks increase each and every day, and we at the Murphy Firm will not stop until Jill Doe and any other student that has been harmed receives the help and justice they deserve."

FRIBOURG, Switzerland, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Morphean launches significant upgrade to cyber secure cloud platform with two-factor authentication to increase data protection and ensure GDPR compliance

Cloud analytics and security-as-a-service innovator, Morphean, has put cybersecurity at the heart of the design of its upgraded intelligent software platform. Morphean takes cybersecurity to the next level, allowing users to deploy two-factor authentication to access the platform and the insights derived using artificial intelligence. This ensures the PII held remains impenetrable, readying its customers for a cyber secure future.

(Logo: https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/692572/Morphean_Logo.jpg )



In light of the increasing global cyber threats, Morphean's VSaaS platform delivers a robust and secure cloud environment. The upgrade will remove some of the burden of regulatory compliance such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), meaning the user can focus on implementing the insights delivered by the platform to drive business performance.

Rodrigue Zbinden, CEO at Morphean, states, "Security as a Service means exactly that. Creating world class business intelligence technology is no longer enough in today's cybersecurity landscape. We must ensure our solution is more secure in every way than an on-premise alternative. That is why Morphean only hosts its platform in Tier 3 data centres or higher. We collaborate with proven hosting partners, respecting the strongest certification standards in all regions we operate. Morphean has already begun upgrading its existing customers as part of the as-a-service model."

The growing number of network connected devices, and the resulting volume of data, provides new opportunities for businesses to extract meaningful insights from that hosted data, but also puts the security of such data firmly in focus. Where once these data sources were limited to physical security devices such as surveillance cameras and access control, with the growth of IoT the Morphean platform will now collect data, and extract insight from any network connected technology.

This is possible in a variety of sectors, including retail, transportation, industrial applications and government-related industries. In retail, utilising data from IoT devices is enabling immersive shopping experiences that appeal to today's digitally-native shopper, allowing for customer journey mapping and ongoing stock replenishment.

"From very early on, cybersecurity has been an important consideration within our technology," Mr. Zbinden continues. "Having access to game changing business intelligence is only effective if the technology utilised is 100% cybersecure, and compliant with local legislation. We believe the new Morphean platform effectively achieves this."

MINNEAPOLIS, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On its journey to become the number one applied HVAC manufacturer in North America, Daikin Applied announced its proposal to expand production capabilities with a new state-of-the-art, built-to-order manufacturing facility in Southern Minnesota, north of the city of Faribault.

Daikin Applied is a division of Daikin Industries, the world's number one air conditioning company headquartered in Japan. As the global HVAC leader, Daikin Industries has more than 90 production bases around the world to meet the specific needs of regional world markets, including two successful US plants in Faribault and Owatonna, Minnesota. Daikin Industries' executives and team members explored multiple site options outside of the US, in different regions of the US, and different Minnesota locations; and have recognized Southern Minnesota as the best opportunity for the planned state-of the-art manufacturing facility, given the region's skilled talent base and past achievements in designing and producing complex, highly specified equipment.

Vice President and General Manager Will Fort leads operations at both Minnesota plants, and will spearhead the development of this new factory. "We have grown our operation within the city of Faribault over fifty years. In 2000, we opened the Owatonna factory, and completed a major expansion there in 2014 to triple its size," said Fort. "Our strong growth in recent years is the result of having highly skilled people in the plants, expert product design and marketing teams in our Plymouth headquarters, and the commitment from Daikin Industries to manufacturing excellence."

Daikin Applied currently employs approximately 900 people in its factories in Southern Minnesota. As such, they have become a significant employer in the region. "We're fully invested in this community," said Matt Alexejun, Senior Director of Human Resources for manufacturing. "We know that our company only grows when our people grow. So we invest not just in the best training for our employees; we extend that commitment into the community by offering programs and training opportunities at local high schools and colleges."

"We certify master regional braze trainers through excellent Dojo training in Japan," said Fort. A Dojo is an immersive learning space. "The regional trainers then pass that international knowledge, skill and certification onto all our production braze operators, ensuring the quality of our product. No one else in the industry can do that." Daikin engages prospective employees in the community through partnerships and company-funded vocational programs at local colleges and high schools, securing training grants with the Minnesota Department of Economic Development, and continues to invest in internal people-centered development programs. The new factory is expected to add significant new employment opportunities to the community.

Daikin Applied CEO Mike Schwartz said, "We have some of our best people in Minnesota and Japan partnering on this important project. We're also appreciating the cooperation and assistance of the civic leaders in St. Paul and Southern Minnesota to help make this happen." To that end, Jim Glen, manufacturing liaison engineer, who brings to the team over 28 years of manufacturing experience in the region, is actively engaged with the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, Rice County and the City of Faribault to finalize state and local government financial assistance approvals to support the infrastructure, investment and employment needs of the new facility. Approval of these financial resources at the local and state government levels is key to the project proceeding, and will allow transformation of the site and bringing the factory on line in 2019.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- DoorDash's company-wide Project DASH (DoorDash Acts for Sustainability and Hunger) initiative tackling the issues of hunger and food waste is on pace to donate six million meals to people facing hunger by the end of the year. Since launching the program four months ago, DoorDash has donated 1.8 million meals to hunger-related nonprofits with the help of its restaurant partners through both food recovery and "one-meal for one-meal" donation efforts. As part of the program, the company has also rescued more than 10,000 pounds of excess food, utilizing its logistics technology to deliver unused food from restaurants to local shelters and food banks.

Project DASH bolsters the company's mission of delivering good with a three-fold approach: through its Food Recovery efforts helping restaurants donate excess food to local shelters and food banks; One for One Meal Donations, and WeDash for Good, a program where every DoorDash employee "dashes" monthly and funds earned are donated to local hunger relief organizations in the communities DoorDash serves. DASH has expanded beyond the initial pilot, with food rescue programs currently in place in cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Jose and Washington D.C.

As part of its partnership with Feeding America, the nation's largest hunger-relief organization, DoorDash Drive API technology is now integrated and is helping to power Feeding America's MealConnect platform.

DoorDash is the first Feeding America partner to utilize its driversDashersto deliver MealConnect retail food donations to the Feeding America network of food banks and their partner agencies. DoorDash provides valuable logistical expertise between partnering restaurants' surplus food with local Feeding American distribution sites, which receive the donations.

"Delivering good is not just a tagline we useit's the sole purpose of Project DASH and is integrated into the very fiber of what DoorDash seeks to accomplish everyday," said Tony Xu, co-founder and CEO of DoorDash. "We're proud of our first-of-it's-kind integration with Feeding America's MealConnect, allowing more restaurants to deliver excess food than they could before by providing our logistics technology that helps to power the platform."

The average restaurant has over 100,000 pounds of excess food annually  and only 1.4 percent of that is donated. The partnership is aiming to address food waste while serving the local communities.

ALBANY, New York, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Transparency Market Research (TMR) has published a new report titled, "Extracorporeal CO2 Removal Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018-2026". According to the report, the global extracorporeal CO2 removal market was valued at US$ 50.0 Mn in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2018 to 2026. Rise in demand for innovative technologies and adoption of ECCO2R devices is expected to boost the growth of the global extracorporeal CO2 removal market from 2018 to 2026. North America and Europe are anticipated to dominate the global market during the forecast period owing to early availability of novel medical technologies, developed health care infrastructure, and increased patient awareness. Asia Pacific is expected to account for significant market share by 2026. This is attributed to large chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patient base in developing countries such as China and India. Rise in adoption of technologically advanced products manufactured by key manufacturers such as ALung Technologies and Xenios AG is likely to drive the global ECCO2R market.

Rise in Demand for Minimally Invasive Ventilation to Drive Market

ECCO2R technique is widely used to avoid invasive mechanical ventilation, especially in patients failing non-invasive ventilation. It also has a feasible therapeutic application to facilitate mechanical ventilation in ARDS patients. ECCO2R can be a promising adjuvant therapeutic strategy for the management of patients with severe exacerbations of COPD and to achieve protective or ultra-protective ventilation in patients with ARDS without life-threatening hypoxemia. Rise in demand for minimally invasive ventilation is anticipated to propel the extracorporeal CO2 removal market during the forecast period. Over invasive mechanical ventilation extracorporeal life support offers safer simpler respiratory applications with veno-venous support and biocompatible membranes.

Gas Exchange Units Segment Leads the Market

The report offers detailed segmentation of the global extracorporeal CO2 removal market based on product and end-user. In terms of product, the disposables segment is projected to account for leading share of the global market during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) devices include disposables, which are used per case per patient basis. Gas exchange units are also called oxygenator/cartridges. These play an important role in effective CO2 removal. Access cannulas are also integral part of ECCO2R procedure. Factors attributed to the higher share of the disposables segment of the global market include high demand for and consumption of disposables in extracorporeal CO2 removal procedures.

Hospitals Segment Dominates the Market

The hospitals segment is projected to account for a significant share of the global extracorporeal CO2 removal market during the forecast period. The segment is anticipated to expand at a CAGR 6.0% from 2018 to 2026. Major reason responsible for the dominance of hospitals segment such as COPD & ARDS are life threatening diseases that require immediate care. Therefore, increase in number of hospital visits and rise in prevalence of COPD and ARDS are expected to boost the hospitals segment during the forecast period. The surgical centers segment is projected to hold substantial share of the global extracorporeal CO2 removal market during the forecast period. Surgical centers are well-equipped with sophisticated instruments; hence people in developing and underdeveloped countries prefer these settings.

Significant Incremental Opportunity in North America

In terms of revenue, North America is likely to continue to dominate the global extracorporeal CO2 removal market during the forecast period, owing to early adoption of technologies and large patient pool of COPD and ARDS. The region is projected to be the most attractive market for extracorporeal CO2 removal devices, with high attractiveness index. The market in the region is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period due to high demand for novel medical technologies. Increase in prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases and surge in demand for rapid and safe minimally invasive ventilation devices have accelerated the growth of the extracorporeal CO2 removal market in North America.

PARAMUS, New Jersey, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, a global pharmaceutical company, today announced data from a Phase 2a, proof-of-concept study of GBR 830, an investigational, anti-OX40 monoclonal antibody being studied for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), that were presented at the International Investigative Dermatology Meeting (IID) in Orlando, Florida. The exploratory Phase 2a study was conducted to investigate the safety of GBR 830, evaluate its effects on AD biomarkers, and generate the first clinical evidence of its biological activity. Patients were randomized to receive two doses of GBR 830 or placebo, and were assessed for response at Day 29 and Day 71.

(Logo: http://mma.prnewswire.com/media/451507/PRNE_Glenmark_Logo.jpg )



New data from the study demonstrated that subsequent to treatment with GBR 830, epidermal hyperplasia, proliferation, and mRNA biomarkers for disease activity were reduced, indicating a possible effect on both the acute and chronic stages of AD.

"This biomarker evidence further validates our recently announced decision to rapidly advance the clinical development of GBR 830," said Fred Grossman, President and Chief Medical Officer at Glenmark Pharmaceuticals. "At Glenmark, we are committed to the pursuit of this potential new treatment for atopic dermatitis, and this biomarker data may provide important information for future clinical decision making."

In the Biological Activity Set of 40 patients (GBR 830 n=29; placebo n=11) who underwent lesional skin biopsy before and after treatment, a significant reduction from baseline in disease related biomarker signatures was observed in patients receiving GBR 830 compared to placebo. Reduced mRNA expression included Th1, Th2 and Th17/Thh22 related biomarkers of disease activity. Improvement of the pathological epidermal phenotype in GBR 830 treated patients was shown by reduction of skin thickness, reduced expression of hyper proliferation biomarker K16 mRNA and Ki67 expressing cells, as well as reduced protein expression of OX40 and its ligand OX40L.

In the intent-to-treat population of all randomized subjects (GBR 830 n=46; placebo n=16), a greater proportion of GBR 830-treated patients achieved a 50% improvement in disease severity compared to placebo, as measured by the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI 50) at Day 29 (43.6% vs. 20.0%) and Day 71 (76.9% vs. 37.5%).

"As the lead investigator on this study and a physician with a passion for investigating how to improve the lives of people living with atopic dermatitis, I am pleased to present these biomarker results from treatment with GBR 830 at IID," said Emma Guttman-Yassky, MD, PhD, and Director of the Center of Excellence in Eczema and Professor of Dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "As our fundamental knowledge of the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis grows, understanding the role biomarkers play in disease control and presentation is vital to addressing the unmet need among these patients."

In the study, GBR 830 was safe and well-tolerated. The most common treatment emergent adverse event was headache, with no meaningful differences observed between GBR 830 (13%) and placebo-treated (25%) patients.

The GBR 830 Phase 2a study has been completed. Enrollment for a Phase 2b study in AD is expected to begin in June 2018.

About GBR 830 in Atopic Dermatitis

GBR 830 is designed to inhibit OX40, a costimulatory immune checkpoint receptor expressed on activated T cells and memory T cells. Costimulatory signals are essential for T cell activity, and binding between OX40 and OX40L is a biomarker for the severity of autoimmune diseases. The activation of this pathway leads to conversion of activated T cells into memory T cells, which promotes inflammation. In addition, regulatory T cells also contribute to inflammation, and OX40 signaling by these cells downregulates immune suppressing functions. It is believed that GBR 830 may inhibit the dual activities of OX40 and OX40L binding in both activated T cells and regulatory T cells, thus potentially reducing inflammation associated with symptoms of atopic dermatitis.

SOURCE Gresham Technologies plcBOSTON, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Henley, the global private equity real estate investor, has purchased two hotels in the vibrant urban areas of Little Havana and South Beach, Miami. It will fund the transformation of the properties by introducing both private and shared accommodations at each location, providing travelers more options than a traditional hotel or Airbnb stay.

Garrett Solomon, President of Henley USA, remarks: "Each property will take its cues from the surrounding community, combining the social aspects of staying in a hostel with innovative design, high-quality amenities and locally influenced food and beverage."

Located in one of the United States' top-performing hospitality markets, the Miami properties have been purchased for $15.4M and will undergo a renovation and repositioning program under the management of Life House, an experienced technology-driven, lifestyle hotel company.

Ian Rickwood, CEO of Henley, comments: "Miami's popularity as a holiday destination is showing no sign of slowing down. However, affordable, community-oriented lodgings are in limited supply, with only one high-end hostel located in Miami Beach. Through repositioning these properties as boutique hotels with the option for shared accommodations, we can both maximize the value of the assets and deliver returns to our investors, whilst adding to the supply of this popular but highly fragmented sector.

"There is good scope to build on the growing popularity of Little Havana and the famous South of Fifth area in Miami Beach, particularly as there are significant hotel supply restrictions in both areas due to a prohibitive zoning ordinance. We plan to roll out more assets like these in the coming months across the USA."

Established in 2006, Henley is a leading UK private equity real estate investor focusing on development, investment and asset management in the commercial, residential, healthcare, land infrastructure, debt and other alternative real estate assets.

Prior to forming Corbelis in 2012, Solomon spent almost two decades with a series of well-known real estate private equity firms.

SUZHOU, China, May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovent Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. (Innovent Biologics) today announced the findings from the ORIENT-1 trial investigating Sintilimab, the company's fully human anti-PD-1 therapy (IBI308), in patients with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (r/r cHL). The preliminary result of the ORIENT-1 trial was published at ASCO's official website on May 16, 2018. The updated and final analysis on its primary endpoint mentioned in this press release will be presented at the 2018 ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago in a poster session on Saturday, June 4, 2018.

ORIENT-1 is a multicenter, single-arm, phase 2 registrational study assessing the efficacy and safety profile of IBI308. A total of ninety-six patients with r/r cHL were enrolled. It is the largest study for this indication in China.

The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR), defined as the percentage of study subjects who either experienced a partial response (PR) or a complete response (CR), which was assessed by independent radiographic review committee (IRRC) according to the revised international working group response criteria for malignant lymphoma in 2007 (IWG 2007). Complete response rate (CR) is a secondary endpoint.

Based on the assessment by IRRC, among the 96 patients with a minimum 24-week follow-up, the results showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 79.2%, disease control rate (DCR) of 97.9%, meeting the pre-set statistical criteria. The median duration of response has not been reached and the majority of the patients are continuing to respond to therapy. The study did not reveal any unexpected safety issues and there is no death reported. The safety profile of Sintilimab is similar to what have been reported in connection with other anti-PD-1 antibody products developed.

The new drug application (NDA) for IBI308 for the treatment of r/r cHL was officially accepted by the Center of Drug Evaluation of the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) on April 19, 2018 and was granted the "Priority Review Status" on April 23, 2018.

"Sintilimab, jointly developed by Innovent Biologics and Eli Lilly and Company, is a novel anti-PD-1 antibody with global IP rights. I am very grateful for my colleagues at Innovent Biologics, various government agencies and our partner Lilly for their effort and dedication." said Dr. Michael Yu, the founder and CEO of Innovent Biologics. "Sintilimab will bring new hope for patients with relapsed and refractory classical Hodgkin Lymphoma in China. Our mission is to develop and commercialize high quality biopharmaceutical products that are affordable to ordinary people. Now we have just completed the very first critical step toward that mission."

"We are very pleased with the Lilly/Innovent research and development collaboration. Together, we are making progress toward our shared goal of bringing innovative medicines to China. We firmly believe that our in-depth collaboration with Innovent may bring medical advances that eventually benefit many cancer patients throughout China," said Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., senior vice president, global development and medical affairs, Lilly Oncology.

About Sintilimab

Sintilimab is a fully human anti-PD-1 antibody. It binds to the PD-1 receptor on T cells, blocking the PD-L1 ligand from interacting with PD-1 to help restore T-cell response and immune response, thus destroying the tumor cells. Sintilimab is jointly developed by Innovent Biologics and Eli Lilly and Company in China. It is also the first drug submitted for NDA by Innovent Biologics.

About ORIENT-1 Trial

ORIENT-1 (NCT03114683) is a multicenter, single-arm, phase 2 registrational study assessing the efficacy and safety profile of IBI308. A total ninety-six patients with r/r cHL were enrolled. It is the largest study for this indication in China.

The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR), defined as the percentage of study subjects who either experienced a partial response (PR) or a complete response (CR), which was assessed by independent radiographic review committee (IRRC) according to the revised international working group response criteria for malignant lymphoma in 2007 (IWG 2007). Complete response rate (CR) is a secondary endpoint.

The study requires that the assessment of CR can only be performed by PET at week 15. Therefore, the CR data only represents a single point assessment at week 15.

About Relapsed/Refractory classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (r/r cHL)

Hodgkin Lymphoma is a relatively rare B cell malignancy, often seen in population aged between 20 and 40, and most of the patients are classic in terms of pathology subgroup. Although the current treatment for HL is very efficacious with high cure rate, about 20% of them will relapse after initial treatment due to treatment failure or intolerance to drug treatment. How to treat r/r cHL effectively is a serious challenge among oncology and hematology community. The average survival is only 1-2 years once a patient relapses after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

SOURCE J.F. Kiely Construction Co.2000 was the last time that Guam had a significant and focused conversation around political status. There had been campaigns, big and small, around commonwealth or constitutions. Each time there were discussions, community events and also sometime of plebiscite. 2000 was the last time that there was a big community push around the issue, as that was the year a plebiscite was scheduled and some funds made available for public education. This came after commonwealth had died or stalled in the US Congress, and it was decided to start the process over by having a new plebiscite to help determine the direction of future political status negotiations. This new start to the process never really came. The 2000 plebiscite was delayed several times and never took place.





I recently went through more than a year of the Pacific Daily News to get a sense of that time, and came across dozens of letters to the editor and articles dealing with the plebiscite and the three status options. Some of the letters to the editor focused on supporting a particular status option, more however were focused on the framework for the discussion and a good portion lamented there not being enough information available to make a decision. A small percentage focused on supporting or challenging the idea of restricting who could participate in the plebiscite.





Almost 20 years later we are at a new sort of phase in the discussion. Much has changed, although some elements remain the same. Now, just as before, there is apathy in the community and in the government. There are concerns that there isnt enough information available. There are worries over the framework. One key difference now is that there is a court case that is currently being appealed, over who is eligible to participate in the self-determination vote.





As part of the educational efforts, the Pacific Daily News published editorials from each of the political status task force chairs. They provided them with space to put forth their best argument about their status. The arguments are similar to the ones we make today. The faces are familiar, with some notable differences. In 2000 the task force chairs were Antonio Artero Sablan, Jose Ulloa Garrido and Eddie Duenas. Sablan and Garrido have stepped down as chairs, whereas Duenas has not.

Vote is the right of the people

by Antonio Artero Sablan





What more do you need to know? depends on how much you already know. Everyone must know something, and maybe enough to vote tomorrow. Why, then, are some folks still so confused?





We have seen no less than 30 years of Guam initiatives, from the first Political Status Commission and constitutional convention to the Guam Commonwealth Act and todays Commission on Decolonization, to improve our political status from that of an unincorporated territory. Our libraries, filling cabinets and brains are so full of this matter, we need only recall.





Nonetheless, four task forces are compiling information for the commissions educational campaign-one each for independence, free association, statehood, and other a panel studying the potential economic impact of those options.





This new compilation will be presented to the public in upcoming months. Meanwhile, the Colonized Chamorro Coalition, Organization of People for Indigenous Rights and Guam Statehood Association are activating their troops. Some members have gone to Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Fiji for research on related issues. The Independence Task Force has launched an essay contest, begun preliminary village meetings, and been the subject of radio talk programs and in chat rooms on the Worldwide Web.





Status quo is not an option because decolonization means reversing, if you will, the colonial status of a place and people. When the U.N. Charter was signed in 1946 one-thirds of the worlds population lived in non-self-governing territories like Guam.





Today, those former colonies make up more then two-thirds of U.N. membership. The Philippines Islands, a former U.S. territory, is now a republic. Out of the Pacific Islands have emerged four distinct political entities, island nations.





Non-U.S. territories in this part of the world have asserted their sovereignty recently, including New Caledonia and East Timor. Guams colonial status, hundreds of years old now, is NOT decolonization. The Guam Commonwealth Act was our honorable attempt to safeguard the Chamorro right to self-determination and secure our relationship with the United States with a mutual-consent proposition. But we have had no response in the period of time for which that proposal was made.





The so-called Chamorro vote - only the start of this process - is the right of the people of this place thats been ruled by American colonial policy for the last century. It is a political definition, NOT Chamorro-only Thats an irresponsible shortcut; self-determination, and especially Self-determination for Organic Act citizens have proven much too long.





The facts remain. Well have a vote soon, and we all want a safe, clean democratic island home called Guam for all her people.





Support independence for a better Guam, Biba Chamoru!





**********************





Statehood is the best option for Guam

by Eddie Duenas





It is imperative that those who will be voting in the July plebiscite be provided with factual information on the three options  statehood, free association and independence. The plebiscite is a political process to remove Guam from the United Nations oversight.





In a nutshell, statehood will fully integrate Guam with the United States as a state of the union. Independence and free association will dis-integrate Guam from its present relationship with the United States and will turn Guam loose to chart its own destiny.





If statehood should not prevail in the plebiscite, and Congress accepts and acts on the results, Guams status quo as we know it today would be repealed and Guam would no longer be a U.S. territory.





This, consequently, would force the discontinuance of all federal assistance, aids and grants for social, economic, education programs as well as highway and infrastructure funding.





Persons who got their U.S. citizenship by virtue of the 1950 Organic Act of Guam run the risk of not enjoying their full benefits while living in a non-U.S. Guam.





Under the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1962, a native-born or naturalized U.S. citizen could lose his or her citizenship by taking an oath or making affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state or a political subdivision thereof. And their descendants born on Guam also could run into problems with their citizenship since Guam would no longer be a U.S. territory.





Statehood is the only option that can guarantee not only your U.S. citizenship but also that of your descendants and the generations to come. And Guam will continue the status quo until statehood is attained.





As a state, Guam would acquire state sovereignty and have full control on all state matters. The people would have full protection and permanent citizenship under the U.S. Constitution, vote for the president and vice-president and have two senators and one representative in Congress.





Guam would also write is own state constitution, set up a state government (three equal branches  executive, legislative and judicial) and have equal access to federal revenue sharing programs, grants and entitlements available to all states. This will increase Guams level of federal assistance.





Social Security Supplemental Income and the Earned Income Tax Credit would also be available for Guam. These programs will certainly provide millions of dollars to our SSS recipients and low-income wage earners.





Having two senators and a representative in Congress should enable Guam to get more federal dollars in appropriations, grants, aids and entitlements than its currently receiving as a territory.





After living for more than 100 years under the U.S. flag, Guamanians have assimilated the American way as part of their lifestyle. Their loyalty to the United States is unquestionable, even in the darkest hours of enemy occupation during WWII.





Their desire to remain in the American family was well documented in the two previous plebiscites conducted.

Free association  best of both worlds

By Jose Garrido





In envisioning a brighter future for Guam, the people of this island should bear in mind two essential facts in our history  both as a United States territory and our far longer ancestral history as a Chamorro nation.





Free association will create a government which acknowledges both ingredients of this history. With free association, Guam would be recognized internationally as a sovereign nation with control over its political affairs.





At the same time, we would also maintain a defined association with the United States, specifically in the area of defense. Free association would allow Guam to achieve sovereignty in partnership with the United States.





Free association presents us with an opportunity to control Guams land, air, seas and natural resources for our benefit, rather than for another country. The United States would still maintain its military presence, but would provide financial assistance to Guam in return for the military use of land.





Based on research and comments from a U.S. congressional representative, our citizenship status would not be affected by a change in political status. Guam citizenship would also be granted. Bearers of a Guam passport could retain rights to travel freely within the United States, establish residency and work there, and volunteer in the U.S. armed forces without being drafted.





These rights are already enjoyed by existing free associations between the United States and the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republics of Belau and the Marshall Islands.





Free association offers optimism for greater economic development through changes such as the removal of the Jones Act, control of our Exclusive Economic Zone and all of the ocean minerals and resources within and the return of excess land to landowners. Free association gives us the autonomy to be creative in developing our island economy, making decisions with the best interests of Guam in mind.





With free association, Guam would be eligible to participate in programs offered by the United Nations, the Pacific Community and other international bodies catering to sovereign nations. Guam could tap into the programs of international agencies such as the Asian Development Bank, International Monetary Fund, South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency and many others, helping us improve education, fisheries health care and banking.





Four thousand years ago, Chamorros managed their resources, governed their clans and provided for their futures. Today, we have knowledge skills, creativity and competence to manage our resources in the new millennium. We have survived wars, typhoons, earthquakes and more. We can surmount the challenges ahead.





Free association provides us with a confident future  sovereignty for Guam in association with the United States. Free association, the best of both worlds.







WASHINGTON, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After months of promises that they would stop being a megaphone for terrorists and their supporters, a new investigation has found that digital platforms such as Google, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube continue to host hundreds of violent and disturbing terrorist videos, images and posts. Many remain online for weeks to be seen by thousands of users  giving terrorists a valuable platform to spread hate and recruit members.

The "Fool Me Once" report, which is the result of an investigation by Digital Citizens Alliance and Global Intellectual Property Enforcement Center, found posts showing violence against terrorist targets, messages on how to manipulate digital platforms to spread terror messages online and recruiting videos. Among the disturbing and offensive videos, images and posts found on platforms are:

Numerous images of violence, including beheadings, throwing victims off rooftops and the caging, maiming and torture of terrorist targets.

Posts on how to use digital platforms to serve the terrorist agenda. In one instance terrorists posted, "A Guide to Social Media Platforms and how to manipulate each Social Media Platform."

Recruiting videos promoting terrorists groups. In one example, Digital Citizens monitored a YouTube video promoting the Islamic State and watched as its viewership increased from 15,000 on April 26 to over 34,000 by May 8 .

While Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg claimed during recent congressional testimony that the company's systems take down "99 percent" of terrorist content, the investigation found numerous examples of disturbing images. In one example detailed in the report, a May 1 post shows the horrifying ways in which the Islamic State torture, maim, and execute its victims.

"If digital platforms are unable to effectively police their own content when they are under scrutiny from Congress and state policymakers and facing serious trust issues with their users, it's time for someone else to do it for them," said Tom Galvin, executive director of the Digital Citizens. "That means Congress, state attorneys general and regulators need to step in and protect Americans. Fool us once, shame on the platforms. Fool us twice, shame on us."

"Social media companies such as Google and Facebook say there is no place for terrorism and hate speech on their platforms," said Eric Feinberg, CEO of GIPEC. "They continue to tell the public that they are employing human and technological solutions to stop terrorist accounts and posts to their platforms. This research shows that despite their promises their efforts are not cutting it and they still have a long way to go.'

The investigation underscores that the business model utilized by these digital platforms is at the root of offensive, illegal and illicit content. That business model  to harvest user information so it can be sold to advertisers and third parties and to enable nearly anyone to post content with essentially no ramifications  creates the ideal environment for terrorists, criminals and bad actors.

A 2016 memo recently surfaced in which a top Facebook executive stated the company shouldn't let negative consequences get in the way of its mission demonstrates that the company is focused on its business vision above all else. "Maybe it costs a life by exposing someone to bullies. Maybe someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools. And still we connect people," wrote Andrew "Boz" Bosworth, Facebook Vice President.

These flaws have led to a downturn in trust in digital platforms. A majority of Americans view these digital platforms as irresponsible companies that should be regulated. Seventy-one percent of Americans said trust in the platforms had dropped in the last year.

While Digital Citizens holds out hope that digital platforms will address the issues of offensive, illegal and illicit content, it also believes it's time for Congress, regulators and state policymakers to look at steps they can take. It seems the window for companies to act on their own to satisfy the public is closing.

There are multiple avenues for government to pursue and it could be a mix of federal and state actions in the United States:

Congress could revise privacy and other laws that govern how content is treated online to force platforms to take greater legal responsibility.

Regulators and watchdog agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission could investigate to understand just how much digital platforms know about the offensive and illegal content on their platforms. There is reason to wonder: in 2011 Google paid $500 million to close a U.S. investigation that the company knew that rogue online pharmacies were illegally marketing medications through Google AdWords as early as 2003.

to close a U.S. investigation that the company knew that rogue online pharmacies were illegally marketing medications through Google AdWords as early as 2003. States could intervene as they have with big tobacco and other industries  especially as we learn the impact of digital platforms on young teens. For example, state attorneys general could work together to negotiate agreements in which digital platforms agree to take more steps to block illegal and offensive content.

And in Europe new regulations are due to take effect this month to protect user privacy and other efforts are underway to force digital platforms to be more accountable for the content that appears on their sites.

"After everything that has happened in the last two years, the discovery of offensive and hateful Jihadi videos and posts on leading digital platforms is an indicator that perhaps the companies simply don't have the capability or the will to police themselves," added Galvin. "In that case, someone will have to do it for them."

About the Digital Citizens Alliance

Digital Citizens is a coalition of consumers, businesses, and Internet experts focused on educating the public and policymakers on the threats people from all walks of life face on the Internet. Recent Digital Citizens initiatives include working with state attorneys general to educate citizens about the proper disposal of opioids and other dangerous drugs, a look into how new pirate devices and apps enable hackers to infect consumers' computers, and an investigation into how millions of college emails and passwords are for sale on the Dark Web.

SALT LAKE CITY, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Kimono is one of 26 projects advancing to the final round of competition in the IMS Global Learning Consortium 2018 Learning Impact Awards.

The competition awards innovative technology with potential to improve learning and educational experiences. Kimono advances to the finals along with entries chosen from nominations and regional competitions around the world. The final competition and subsequent awards will take place May 21-24 at the 2018 Learning Impact Leadership Institute in Baltimore, Maryland.

Kimono's entry for flexible, standards-based data integrations describes how Kimono streamlines and standardizes the way data is collected and shared via iPaaS, or integration platform as a service, and enables educators to share learning data back to the student information system (SIS). "Enabling teachers to send grades back to the SIS with the push of a button saves teachers valuable time and helps them focus on their real jobs," said Steve Curtis, CEO at Kimono. "It also ensures parents and administrators have more timely access to learning information." Teachers reported saving anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per day using Kimono's grade passback feature. Kimono estimates for every dollar spent on its platform, schools receive over $25 in value back in time saved by their teachers.

With digital applications becoming more numerous in the classroom, schools expect these apps to come bundled with integration solutions. Kimono reduces the burden for application partners, as it connects with any student information system and enables partners to create complex mappings and customizations for their customers, without managing point-to-point integrations.

A panel of experts will evaluate the Learning Impact entries, which consist of a short video, paper, and Q&A session submitted by each finalist. However, the edtech community can also review entries and vote. Voting is open until noon EDT on May 23, and the winners will be announced on May 24 during the Learning Impact Leadership Institute awards luncheon.

Kimono is a premium interoperability platform that connects the student information system with other applications. Through iPaaS, or integration platform as a service, Kimono helps districts and schools solve complex, evolving integration problems with real-time solutions that improve the accuracy, accessibility, and privacy of student information. Kimono currently serves eight states, over 2000 districts, and more than 14 million students.

MONTEREY, Calif., May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- IDG's CIO has announced LanguageLine Solutions as a recipient of the 2018 CIO 100. The 31st annual award program recognizes organizations around the world that exemplify the highest level of operational and strategic excellence in information technology.

"Each of our winners has achieved notable success in accelerating businesses to the front lines of the digital revolution," said Maryfran Johnson, Executive Director of CIO Programs. "This year's winners are inspiring examples of how IT leadership, business partnerships, and customer engagement can reshape the future."

LanguageLine has been the global leader in innovative language-access solutions since 1982. The company's 2018 CIO nomination focused on the advancement of its state-of-the-art Olympus platform, which at more than $30 million represents the largest technology investment in industry history. When it was launched, Olympus signified a complete digital conversion within an industry that was built around legacy phone lines.

Thanks to Olympus, LanguageLine now has the unrivaled ability to handle a massive volume of phone and video calls efficiently and effectively. On this new platform, LanguageLine bridged over 36 million language interactions  in more than 240 languages  in 2017. The average connect time for these calls in the top 10 languages was 12.4 seconds  an astoundingly low figure.

"One in five U.S. residents now speaks a language other than English at home," LanguageLine President and CEO Scott W. Klein said. "Most forward-looking organizations are thinking about inclusion of not only non-English speakers, but the significant deaf and hard-of-hearing community as well. Olympus is unmatched in its ability to meet the surging demand for interpreter services."

For thousands of LanguageLine clients, including major public hospitals, large corporations, and 911 call centers, ensuring that calls are handled within seconds is critical, and a matter of life or death in some cases.

Recipients of this year's CIO 100 Award were selected through a three-step process. First, companies filled out an online application form detailing their innovative IT and business initiatives. Next, a team of external judges (many of them former CIOs) reviewed the applications in depth, looking for leading-edge IT practices and measurable results. Finally, CIO editors reviewed the judges' evaluations and selected the final 100.

Executives from the winning companies will be recognized at The CIO 100 Symposium & Awards Ceremony, to be held August 15 at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.

About LanguageLine Solutions

The planned modifications will increase the extraction capabilities of the Adelanto facility to over 800 liters of extracted material per month.

Brad Eckenweiler, the CEO of LDS, stated, "These modifications are the result of a detailed analysis of our current processing procedures to identify opportunities to maximize efficiencies and increase volumes. One important aspect of the modification process is that those modifications will not impact our current production operations."

SOURCE Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc.SAN FRANCISCO and SHANGHAI, May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 12th, Yi Wang, the founder and CEO of Liulishuo (formally known as LingoChamp) was invited to attend the 2018 Stanford China Education Forum EXPO in Stanford University. The EXPO, held by Stanford Graduate School of Education and Education Practitioners and Innovators of China (EPIC), is a platform for bold ideas, inspiration, talent, and cutting-edge education technology. It gathered more than 15 industry leaders and education practitioners from spheres including STEM education, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence technologies, Early Childhood Education, etc., to demonstrate their innovative educational products and engage participants in an intellectual and inspiring conversation.

During the panel Yi joined, he discussed issues around the topic "Education Entrepreneurship in AI+ Era" with Joy Chen, Executive Advisor of TAL Education Group, and Linfeng Yang, CEO of OnionMath. Both TAL and OnionMath are focusing on K-12 education, and therefore have lots of insights to share with Liulishuo, which is currently incubating its K-12 product.

"OnionMath is working on Math, Physics, and will include more science subjects in the future. With the help of AI, we are able to offer personalized learning materials to our students so as to improve their learning performances," said Linfeng. "We've seen that Liulishuo has also been using AI technologies to make breakthrough in linguistic learning. Given we are from different subjects while both proved AI could bring good outcomes to learning, I am optimistic that AI technologies will be adapted to all subjects in the near future." Yi agreed with Linfeng, stating that he was also confident about the application prospects of AI in all-subjects, and even cross-subjects. "AI will certainly start a new era of learning," said Yi.

When asked by the host, Tom Costin from Owl Ventures, whether he had gone through any difficulties or doubts on his way to entrepreneurship, Yi gave an honest answer. "Yes, there used to be a hard time," said him. "When I at first had the idea of bringing AI to language learning, AI was still an unfamiliar concept to the public. It was not easy to convince the capital of the prospects of AI."

However, Liulishuo recruited software engineers and research scientists working on natural language processing (NLP) to develop its flagship product, Liulishuo mobile app, and launched their AI English teacher.

The product speaks for itself. Liulishuo now has over 70 million users, covering 379 cities in China and 175 countries around the world. It has also been featured by Apple as 'Selected Apps of the Year' and 'App Store Essentials'. More good news is Liulishuo's innovative AI English teacher has been proven to triple the learning efficiency compared to human teachers by CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Language) standards, according to a study using the TOEIC Bridge Test from ETS.

Furthermore, Liulishuo has been upholding its social responsibility to promote education equality. In June 2016, they started our 'Rural Education Support Project', to bring AI teacher to students and teachers in rural areas, inviting them to experience the benefits brought by new technologies.

During the Q&A session, Yi shared more perspectives with the audience interested in Chinese education industry. He credits much of Liulishuo's early successes to the timing of the product launch. "If you looked at App Store's ranking list at 2012, you will find most of the apps were developed by sole developers. Most of them are developing apps for out of personal interests, rather than for business reasons. But my team and I foresaw the trend of mobility in business. It wasn't just going to be about the utility of apps, but about solving problems for users. Mobile is a platform that can always be with you, so it has the ability to impact everything that you do, especially learning."

This is why Liulishuo has been maintaining the gamified settings and vibrant learning community in the basics in order to interact closely with their users and create an immersive learning ambiance for them.

After the panel, Yi expressed his gratitude towards the Stanford education EXPO and expressed what the future goals of Liulishuo were. Clinging to the goal of helping everyone become a global citizen, Liulishuo will keep on exploring the mode of 'AI+Education' and bring high-quality education resources to more parts of China.

Liulishuo is a world's leading AI-driven education technology company, founded by Yi Wang, Ben Hu and Hui Lin in September 2012.

It is proven to triple the learning efficiency compared to human teachers in the CEFR standards.

Brands, media and news companies, TV broadcasters, and organizations, like schools and trade associations, are creating more content than ever before. Instead of needing only to push that content to a single distribution channel, they are tasked with reaching consumers across an ever expanding multitude of devices and platforms. Most companies solve these content logistics problems by hiring developers to manually build out each distribution output one-by-one, only to find themselves needing to build again and again as new output types inevitably emerge.

Instead, they can now use MAZ, the world's first Content Logistics System. MAZ partners can manage the processing, filtering, packaging, and shipping of their content to all major outputs, including social media like Twitter and Facebook, voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, news services like Apple News, as well as the ability to create full mobile and TV apps for platforms like iOS, Android, Apple TV and Roku; all from a single system, without any code.

"Every brand today has to somehow get their content to every single distribution channel in order to reach consumers, and there are more and more popping up every year," said MAZ CEO, Paul Canetti. "This year it's Alexa, and next year it will be something else. Content logistics is a growing problem, and we have built a solution that truly fulfills the promise of 'Create once, publish everywhere.' Not only for outputs that exist today, but for the ones yet to come as well."

DENVER and NEW YORK, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Reaffirming its commitment to promoting literacy and instilling a love of reading in children, McGraw-Hill Education today announced its support for the Denver Public Library's Read Aloud program for the 2018-2019 school year. McGraw-Hill Education's donation will enable more than 6,000 children to receive a book through the program to cultivate the love of reading from an early age. The donation will also help to train volunteers who lead Storytime sessions in various libraries and educational centers across the Denver area.

"As a learning science company, we understand just how crucial early literacy is to success in school, college and beyond," said Marty Lange, SVP, Chief Product and Operating Officer for the School Group at McGraw-Hill Education. "The Denver Public Library's Read Aloud program directly supports our mission of developing not only children's literacy but also a love of books from an early age, and we are proud to support an organization making such a positive impact on the lives of Denver's children."

The Read Aloud program, now in its 30th year, aims to develop pre-reading skills and instill a love of reading and books among preschoolers, as well as promote the use of the Denver Public Library and its branches among families. The program currently reaches 350 classrooms, particularly educationally at-risk and low-income preschoolers, with volunteers and library staff members providing weekly Storytimes to children across various educational centers. Ninety-eight percent of teachers in participating schools have indicated that their students have become more interested in books as a result of participating in the program.

"The Read Aloud Program is an invaluable resource for both students and readers, and contributions from companies like McGraw-Hill Education help ensure we can continue to make a positive impact moving forward," said Brianna Austin, Read Aloud Program Coordinator. "Teacher surveys and verbal feedback always highlight that students learn from and look forward to the weekly visits from their readers. Those visits increase students' interest in books and strengthen early reading skills, all of which helps young readers develop self-esteem and confidence. It's really beautiful to see the excitement, both from students and volunteer readers, when they see each other and share books every week."

At the end of each semester, each child receives a brand-new book to keep. By donating books to children and supporting the building of mini Read Aloud libraries in participating classrooms, the program aims to continue fostering a love of reading outside of Read Aloud sessions.

SOURCE Hanway AssociatesLAGUNA HILLS, Calif., May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Thousands of people suffering from severe arthritis and hip pain now have an additional hip replacement option at MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center to regain their mobility and relieve pain and stiffness. The anterior approach, among the least invasive surgical options, offers potential advantages, including more rapid return to normal activities, reduced risk of dislocation and more accurate leg length control and implant positioning.

The anterior approach to hip replacement allows surgeons to reach the hip joint from the front of the hip as opposed to the lateral (side) or posterior (back) approach. This way the hip can be replaced without detachment of the muscle from the pelvis or femur. The orthopedic surgeon works through the natural interval between muscles. By keeping muscles intact, the anterior approach may result in less pain, faster recovery, quicker stability and fewer post-operative restrictions.

The hip replacement approach selected is the one best suited to the patient's anatomy. Pelvic structure, obesity, heavy musculature or prior surgery may dictate a posterior approach.

"Each approach has advantages and risks, but six months after surgery, the result is the same," explains R. Lance Montgomery, M.D., Saddleback Medical Center orthopedic surgeon. "The patient feels great, and in most cases can return to the activities enjoyed before their pain started."

According to Dr. Montgomery, "preserving the muscles means less trauma and faster rehabilitation. With both approaches, we get patients up and walking a few hours post-surgery. With the anterior approach, however, patients are well on their way to a recovery after just three weeks. The lower risk of post-surgical dislocation also has a positive psychological impact."

To improve access to the hip joint during the anterior approach, Saddleback Medical Center acquired the technologically advanced Hana surgical table allowing the leg to be safely positioned and held steady at any angle, providing a clear view of the hip joint through smaller incisions. Implants are positioned more easily, and accuracy confirmed through intra-operative x-rays. Necessary adjustments can be made before closing the wound. The result is more precise placement, less soft-tissue trauma, faster recovery and higher patient satisfaction. To learn more, visit http://memorialcare.org/sbjointreplacement.

Record number of abstracts accepted across oncology, immuno-oncology and DNA Damage Response (DDR)

Merck, a leading science and technology company, today announced new data from a number of high priority clinical development programs across its oncology portfolio to be presented at this year's American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting (ASCO), June 1-5, 2018, Chicago. Abstracts representing seven therapeutic agents and eight tumor types will highlight Merck's position as a key emerging player in oncology.

"This year's data at ASCO demonstrate the potential of our pipeline to really deliver transformative advancements in cancer care," said Luciano Rossetti, Executive Vice President, Head of Global Research & Development at the biopharma business of Merck. "With our strong commitment and focus on the areas we believe in most, Merck's oncology and immuno-oncology pipeline is demonstrating significant potential in the near term with our later-stage priority programs and, in parallel, our early pipeline includes truly innovative programs that could make a real difference for patients."

Data for the legacy brand ERBITUX continue to build on Merck's heritage in oncology reinforcing its role as a standard of care in RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), the standard of care in first-line recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M SCCHN), and a standard of care for patients with locally advanced SCCHN (LA SCCHN), who may not be able to tolerate cisplatin-based regimens in full.

New data for avelumab* (BAVENCIO), which is being jointly developed and commercialized with Pfizer, include an oral presentation on two-year results from the pivotal JAVELIN Merkel 200 trial. These long-term results include data on avelumab's duration of response and represent the first study to report long-term survival data for an immunotherapy in metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (mMCC).

The company will also present further evidence for M7824, an investigational TGF- trap/anti-PD-L1 bi-functional immunotherapy fusion protein, from expansion cohorts of the ongoing M7824 Phase I clinical trial (NCT02517398) program. TGF-, a cytokine released by cells (including tumor cells), suppresses anti-tumor immune responses through a vast number of mechanisms leading to uninhibited tumor growth and metastasis. These data include results in patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers (presented in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute) and data in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In NSCLC, signs of clinical activity were seen across PD-L1 expression levels, with an overall response rate (ORR) at the recommended Phase II dose (n=40) of 40.7% observed in PD-L1+ patients (1% PD-L1+; 68% of the all-comer population) and in patients with high PD-L1 expression (80% PD-L1+; 18% of the all-comer population), ORR was 71.4%. These data signal the potential of M7824 and provide evidence that combining a transforming growth factor- (TGF-) trap with the anti-PD-L1 mechanism in one molecule may generate anti-tumor activity in these patient groups with significant medical need. Treatment with M7824 was well tolerated in both studies and safety data were consistent with that observed in the overall Phase I clinical program. No new safety signals were identified.

For tepotinib,[**] an investigational highly selective small molecule inhibitor of the c-Met receptor tyrosine kinase, new data to be presented include promising initial results from an ongoing Phase II VISION study providing further indication for the potential of tepotinib in patients living with advanced NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping mutations. Alterations of the c-Met signaling pathway are found in various cancer types and correlate with aggressive tumor behavior and poor clinical prognosis. Based on investigator assessment of data from 15 patients in the study, 60% (9/15) had a confirmed partial response (PR) and 20% (3/15) had stable disease (SD). In addition, independent assessment of 13 patients demonstrated treatment with tepotinib led to a confirmed PR in 46.2% (6/13) and SD in 7.7% (1/13) of patients. In this study, the safety data are consistent with that observed in previous studies and confirm that treatment with tepotinib is well tolerated; no new safety signals were identified.

Tepotinib is an important part of Merck's strategic focus on precision medicines and these results reinforce the company's progress in delivering treatments to those patients more likely to benefit, in order to achieve the best possible outcomes. Both M7824 and tepotinib were discovered in-house at Merck.

Further pipeline updates include Phase I dose escalation data for the investigational DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) inhibitor M3814, Phase I triplet therapy with ATR-inhibitor, M6620 +veliparib+cisplatin in advanced solid tumors, and Phase I data for M2698, a potent and selective dual inhibitor of p70S6K and AKT1/3 in the PAM pathway (PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway). The PAM pathway regulates cell survival and growth and this pathway often displays unusual activity in many human cancers.

*Avelumab is under clinical investigation for treatment of NSCLC, mUC and mesothelioma and has not been demonstrated to be safe and effective for these indications. There is no guarantee that avelumab will be approved for NSCLC, mUC and mesothelioma by any health authority worldwide.

**Tepotinib is the recommended International Nonproprietary Name (INN) for the c-Met kinase inhibitor (MSC2156119J). Tepotinib is currently under clinical investigation and not approved for any use anywhere in the world.

Tepotinib, M7824, M3814, M2698 and M6620 are under clinical investigation and have not been proven to be safe and effective. There is no guarantee any product will be approved in the sought-after indication by any health authority worldwide.

About Avelumab

Avelumab is a human anti-programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) antibody. Avelumab has been shown in preclinical models to engage both the adaptive and innate immune functions. By blocking the interaction of PD-L1 with PD-1 receptors, avelumab has been shown to release the suppression of the T cell-mediated antitumor immune response in preclinical models. Avelumab has also been shown to induce NK cell-mediated direct tumor cell lysis via antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) in vitro In November 2014, Merck and Pfizer announced a strategic alliance to co-develop and co-commercialize avelumab.

Approved Indications in the US

The FDA granted accelerated approval for avelumab (BAVENCIO) for the treatment of (i) adults and pediatric patients 12 years and older with metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (mMCC) and (ii) patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) who have disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy, or have disease progression within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy. These indications are approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for these indications may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.

Important Safety Information from the US FDA Approved Label

The warnings and precautions for BAVENCIO include immune-mediated adverse reactions (such as pneumonitis, hepatitis, colitis, endocrinopathies, nephritis and renal dysfunction, and other adverse reactions), infusion-related reactions and embryo-fetal toxicity.

Common adverse reactions (reported in at least 20% of patients) in patients treated with BAVENCIO for mMCC and patients with locally advanced or mUC include fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, nausea, infusion-related reaction, peripheral edema, decreased appetite/hypophagia, urinary tract infection and rash.

About Erbitux (cetuximab)

Erbitux is a highly active IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). As a monoclonal antibody, the mode of action of Erbitux is distinct from standard non-selective chemotherapy treatments in that it specifically targets and binds to the EGFR. This binding inhibits the activation of the receptor and the subsequent signal-transduction pathway, which results in reducing both the invasion of normal tissues by tumor cells and the spread of tumors to new sites. It is also believed to inhibit the ability of tumor cells to repair the damage caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy and to inhibit the formation of new blood vessels inside tumors, which appears to lead to an overall suppression of tumor growth. Erbitux also targets cytotoxic immune effector cells towards EGFR expressing tumor cells (antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, ADCC).

The most commonly reported side effect with Erbitux is an acne-like skin rash. In approximately 5% of patients, hypersensitivity reactions may occur during treatment with Erbitux; about half of these reactions are severe.

Erbitux has already obtained market authorization in over 100 countries world-wide for the treatment of RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer and for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Merck licensed the right to market Erbitux, a registered trademark of ImClone LLC, outside the U.S. and Canada from ImClone LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company, in 1998.

About M3814

M3814 is an investigational small-molecule which is thought to inhibit DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK). DNA-PK is a key enzyme for non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), an important DNA double strand break (DSB) repair pathway. Clinical studies investigating combinations of M3814 with other commonly used DNA-damaging agents such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy are underway.

About M7824

M7824 is an investigational bifunctional immunotherapy that is designed to bring together a TGF- trap and 'fuse' it with the anti-PD-L1 mechanism. M7824 is designed to simultaneously block the two immunosuppressive pathways - targeting both pathways aims to control tumor growth by potentially restoring and enhancing anti-tumor responses. M7824 is currently in Phase I studies for solid tumors.

About M2698

M2698 is an investigational small-molecule which is thought to inhibit p70S6K and Akt. Both targets are part of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PAM)pathway, which is often dysregulated in solid tumors.

About tepotinib

Tepotinib (MSC2156119J) is an investigational small-molecule inhibitor of the c-Met receptor tyrosine kinase. Alterations of the c-Met signaling pathway are found in various cancer types and it is thought to correlate with aggressive tumor behavior and poor clinical prognosis.

About M6620

M6620 (previously known as VX-970) is an investigational small-molecule thought to inhibit ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR). ATR is believed to be a key sensor for DNA damage, activating the DNA damage checkpoint and leading to cell cycle arrest. Inhibition of ATR could potentially enhance the efficacy of DNA-damaging agents, but is also being investigated as a monotherapy against tumors with high levels of replication stress induced by overexpression of oncogenes.

SOURCE Merck KGaAREADING, Pa., May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Service has been restored to more than 45,000 Metropolitan Edison Company (Met-Ed) customers who lost power following the damaging thunderstorms that hit the region late Monday. Currently, approximately 14,000 customers remain out of service from wind gusts approaching 70 mph, with the hardest hit areas including Stroudsburg and Easton.

The restoration effort includes more than 1,500 Met-Ed linemen, electrical contractors, FirstEnergy utility personnel, damage assessors, hazard responders, forestry supervisors, and dispatchers that are on the ground. Additional resources also are en route. To handle the influx of outside workers, Met-Ed has set up a staging site in Shawnee, an area that sustained substantial damage to the electric system.

The main priority for Met-Ed is making repairs to a major substation in the Shawnee area of Smithfield Township, in Monroe County, and a 34.5-kilovolt power line that connects the substation to the grid. About 17 broken poles will need to be replaced, downed wire re-strung, and cross-arms, transformers and other equipment replaced as part of this labor-intensive rebuild effort. Because this substation is in a remote area, specialized, off-road tracked vehicles are being brought in to help expedite the restoration process as a number of the downed poles are in a swampy area.

Due to this significant damage, Met-Ed expects customers in the Easton area to be restored by late Friday, and customers in the Stroudsburg area to be restored by late Saturday.

"Our restoration efforts continue to be challenged by the rainy conditions, which have hampered our ability to use helicopters to patrol some of the more remote damage locations," said Ed Shuttleworth, regional president of Met-Ed. "Met-Ed personnel, assisted by other FirstEnergy and contractor resources, will continue to work around the clock to safety restore service to our customers."

As part of its storm restoration process, Met-Ed has taken the following steps:

Ramped up storm updates on social media and on the company website. Follow Met-Ed on Twitter @Met Ed and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MetEdElectric.

Communicated with emergency management officials, state officials, regulators, and local officials about storm restoration efforts

Staffed additional dispatchers and analysts at regional dispatch offices

Met-Ed also is providing ice and water at three Giant Food Store locations. Customers who are without power can receive up to 2-8 lb. bags of ice and up to 3 gallons of water per household per day.

Met-Ed reminds customers to immediately report downed wires to their utility at 888-LIGHTSS (888-544-4877), or to their local police or fire department. Customers should never go near a downed wire even if they think it is no longer carrying electricity. Extra caution should be used in areas where downed lines are tangled in trees or other debris.

After local power lines are repaired and put back in service, damage to individual customer service wires may become apparent. Customers are reminded that if their neighbor's power is on and theirs is not, the problem may be isolated to their individual service, and service to the neighbor could be fed from a different circuit. Customers are encouraged to report such problems, even at this latter stage in the restoration process.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Campers frustrated by sold-out campsites have a new ally in Campnab. Developed by two Vancouver-based campers, the app monitors campgrounds for cancellations. It then notifies users of availabilities, via text message. The app promises to get nature-lovers into the great outdoors, this summer.

Campnab creator Eric Shelkie works on the Campnab app, while out camping with his family.

Online campsite booking systems are problematic. Savvy campers reserve spots many months in advance. This leaves others unable to find a campsite, spoiling their summer plans. Eric Shelkie (Campnab's creator) experienced this frustration first-hand. He had recently bought a campervan but found himself unable to book a campsite.

Shelkie's ah-ha moment came while watching his wife repeatedly hit the refresh button on a campground booking website. He explains, "It took a while, but, a spot did open up. I started to wonder how often this happened." Shelkie then programmed an application to automatically watch for new vacancies. Soon, he found himself bombarded by more openings than he could use. So, he asked friend, and designer, Eric Karjaluoto whether they should "make it pretty" and open it up to the public.

Within days, they made Campnab (https://www.campnab.com) available to B.C. residents. Shortly thereafter they did the same for campers in Ontario. "What we found was eye-opening. In those 2 provinces, up to 4,000 new campsites opened up, every day. I suspect most don't realize how many cancellations there are, so, they give up on lookingand those spots potentially go unused."

Through the app, campers note when, where, and how long they want to camp. They also provide their mobile phone number and select a payment option. Campnab then continually scans that park for cancellations. If a suitable spot comes available, the app sends a notification via text message. From there, it's up to the camper to book his/her spot.

Campers access the service in two ways. Infrequent campers can use the pay-per-use option. This costs $10  $20 to track a single location, date, and duration. Regular campers may opt for memberships ($5  $15/month), which allow them to monitor more campgrounds, at a lower price.

Although Campnab is still in its infancy, users are enthusiastic about the service. Campnab member Christine Muzsik remarks, "I love Campnab! I'm booked up for most of the weekends in July and Augusthalf of which I found through Campnab."

Besides BC and Ontario parks, Campnab now scans parks in Washington State, California, and Oregon. It also scans Canadian National Parks, and many parks and recreation sites across the United States.

LONDON, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

A study of two data centres found that utilising higher temperatures resulted in energy savings of between 41% and 64%, whilst driving significant improvements in PUE

A small increase in capital expenditure for additional air cooling systems, redesigned cooling coils and additional adiabatic coolers is offset by reduced energy costs

Payback in terms of reduced Total Cost of Ownership is achieved over three years

Energy efficiency is an issue that concerns all who are involved with the design and operation of data centres. The cooling function in general, and the operation of water chillers in particular, are large consumers of power and as such, require focused efforts to improve overall energy efficiency.

Water chillers account for between 60 and 85% of overall cooling-system energy consumption. Consequently, data centres are designed, where possible, to keep usage of chillers to a minimum and to maximise the amount of available "free cooling", in which less power-hungry systems such as air coolers and cooling towers can keep the temperature of the IT space at a satisfactory level.

One approach to reducing water chiller energy consumption is to design the cooling system so that a higher outlet water temperature (CHW) from the chillers can be tolerated while maintaining a sufficient cooling effort. In this way, chillers consume less energy by not having to work as hard, and the number of free cooling hours can be increased.

As with any complex system, attention needs to be paid to all parts of the infrastructure, as changes in one area can have direct implications for another. A new White Paper from Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and automation, examines the effect on overall cooling system efficiency by operating at higher chilled water temperatures.

White Paper #227, "How Higher Chilled Water Temperature Can Improve Data Center Cooling System Efficiency", outlines the various strategies and techniques that can be deployed to permit satisfactory cooling at higher temperatures, whilst discussing the trade-offs that must be considered at each stage, comparing the overall effect of such strategies on two data centres operating in vastly different climates.

Among the trade-offs discussed were the need to install more air-handling units inside the IT space to offset the higher water-coolant temperatures, in addition to the need for redesigned equipment such as coils, to provide adequate cooling efforts when CHW (chilled water temperature) exceeds 20C. The paper also advises the addition of adiabatic, or evaporative, cooling to further improve heat rejection efficiency. Each approach requires an additional capital investment, but results in lower long-term operating expenses due to the improved energy efficiency.

White Paper 227 details two real-world examples in differing climates; the first is in a temperate region (Frankfurt, Germany) and the second in a tropical monsoon climate (Miami, Florida). In each case, data was collected to assess the energy savings that were accrued by deploying higher CHW temperatures at various increments, whilst comparing the effect of deploying additional adiabatic cooling.

The study found that an increased capital expenditure of 13% in both cases resulted in energy savings of between 41% and 64%, with improvements in TCO between 12% and 16% over a three year period.

Another inherent benefit of reducing the amount of energy expended on cooling is the improvement in a data centres PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) rating. As this is calculated by dividing the total amount of power consumed by a data centre by the power consumed by its IT equipment alone, any reduction in energy expended on cooling will naturally reduce the PUE figure.

The Schneider Electric study found that PUE for the two data centres examined was reduced by 14% in the case of Miami and 16% in the case of Frankfurt.

SOURCE Schneider ElectricSTOCKHOLM, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The EFECT-study evaluated standard hormonal therapies for women with advanced breast cancer and DiviTum was used as a non-invasive tool for monitoring therapy response. 244 patients had blood samples analyzed with DiviTum in a collaboration between AstraZeneca, Prato Hospital, Italy, Institute Jules Bordet, Belgium, British Columbia Cancer Agency, Canada and Biovica, Sweden.

DiviTum measures the activity of serum thymidine kinase (TK) activity which plays a critical role in DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. The study found that serum TK is a circulating prognostic and monitoring marker in patients with advanced breast cancer treated with hormonal therapy. By evaluating levels of TK during treatment DiviTum can provide important information for treating physicians. Patients resistant to on-going hormonal therapies can be identified, enabling alternative treatment options.

The ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) annual meeting taking place June 1-5 in Chicago is the largest scientific cancer congress in the world (40 thousand participants in 2017).

"Endocrine therapy is the treatment of choice for patients with metastatic breast cancer expressing hormone receptors; however, as clinicians, we currently do not have tools to early identify those patients who will do good with endocrine therapy alone or may need additional treatment. The results from our work with DiviTum are exciting and confirm in a larger number of patients our previous observation that this assay may indeed help clinicians in this hard task. DiviTum will certainly become a very useful tool for the development of innovative clinical trials in this field, and ultimately for clinical practice,"  says Dr Luca Malorni, MD, PhD, Prato Hospital, Italy.

"These results reinforce what we have seen in previous studies, proving that DiviTum can provide clinically relevant information highly beneficial for women with advanced breast cancer on hormonal therapy," says Anders Rylander, CEO Biovica and continues,"We are convinced that bringing products like DiviTum to the market will contribute to bringing the best possible treatment for cancer patients."

In many industries, accessing human capital is now harder than accessing financial capital, so it is a mistake to exclude vetted, qualified candidates because of their source."

The survey was conducted by SHRM and the Charles Koch Institute (CKI) to better understand how people in the business community viewed hiring those with criminal records.

Securing employment is a vital rung in the ladder of opportunity and essential to ensuring the success of individuals with a criminal record. Stable employment prevents these individuals from reoffending, making it a critical factor in reducing the recidivism rate. Business executives, HR professionals, and other employees can help break these individuals out of this cycle by considering this source of untapped talent for open roles and encouraging others to do the same.

"The key to reducing recidivism and improving public safety is finding employment for people. If individuals with a criminal record can be considered for employment based on their talent and skills, the benefits for the businessand societyare far-reaching," says Vikrant Reddy, senior research fellow at CKI. "HR professionals are well positioned to provide counsel and generate a tailored set of best practice principles that will benefit both the business and the individuals seeking a second chance."

Many managers and HR professionals are willing to hire and work alongside individuals with a criminal record.

When participants were asked how willing their coworkers would be to work with individuals with a criminal record 84 percent of managers were either neutral, willing, or very willing, while 88 percent of HR professionals said the same.

When asked how willing or unwilling they were to hire individuals with a criminal record, about two-thirds of managers and HR professionals said they were either neutral or willing to make the hire.

However, when asked about how willing or unwilling their coworkers were to hire those with criminal records, 36 percent of managers said willing or very willing, and 26 percent of HR professionals said the same.

Organizations have varied practices and approaches regarding communication on employing individuals with criminal records.

When asked if their company or organization's HR department communicated its policy, approach, or perspective on hiring individuals with criminal records:

Forty-three percent of HR professionals said yes, 43 percent said no, and 14 percent said they were not sure.



Thirty-six percent of managers said their policy was communicated to employees.

When asked if their company or organization's senior leadership communicated to employees its policy, approach, or perspective on hiring individuals with criminal records, only 33 percent of HR professionals said leadership had communicated a policy.

When asked if their company or organization had a formal or informal policy regarding hiring individuals with a criminal record:

Thirty-two percent of HR professionals said they had a formal policy. An equal number of HR managers said that they did not have a formal or informal policy.



Forty-two percent of managers thought their company did have a formal policy while 51 percent of non-managers were "not sure" whether their company had a policy, either formal or informal.

However, there is a discrepancy among managers and non-managers surrounding the benefits and barriers around those hires.

When asked if the company or organization where they work had hired individuals with criminal records, 66 percent of HR professionals said their organization or company had done so, while 39 percent of managers, and 17 percent of non-managers said the same.

When asked what the specific concerns that companies or organizations could have about hiring those with criminal records, managers felt the biggest barrier to hiring those with criminal records are how customers would react, with legal liability being a close second. Yet HR professionals and non-manager employees appear to be much more worried about legal liability than managers.

There is disagreement between managers and non-managers about the reasons companies choose to hire those with criminal records:

While 50 percent of managers say that hiring the best candidate for the job regardless of criminal history is "very much" a factor only 20 percent of non-managers agree.



While about 44 percent of managers believe that making the community a better place and giving individuals a second chance are important factors, 21 percent of non-managers agree that making the community a better place is very important and 30 percent of non-managers agree that it's very important to consider giving people a second chance as a factor in their company's process of hiring people with a criminal record.



While 43 percent of non-managers believe decisionmakers are incentivized by tax rebates or other government incentives, only 27 percent of managers agree.

Many organizations screen for criminal history, but a smaller group does that in the initial application.

Seventy-three percent of organizations do check for criminal history during the hiring process; however, only 46 percent of organizations said they require job applicants to indicate their criminal history on the initial employment application.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY

SHRM and CKI surveyed four groups to better understand practices and attitudes surrounding individuals with a criminal record which included human resources professionals, executives, managers, and individual contributors. The survey data was collected in two waves:

The first wave of data was collected from March 16, 2018 to March 26, 2018. The web-based survey was conducted among 15,000 SHRM members received 1,228 responses. This data reflects the thoughts and opinions of SHRM HR professionals and is unweighted.

The second wave of data was collected from March 23, 2018 to March 26, 2018, by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago with the help of SSI/Research NOW, a non-probability sampling vendor that obtained 50 percent of the total complete surveys. On March 23, 2018, the data collection process was soft launched among a sub-sample of AmeriSpeak panelists. Once the initial data was collected and reviewed the rest of the panelists were invited to participate on March 26, 2018. The survey was conducted among a total of 6,738 panelists and received 2,253 responses. This data was first weighted using panel-based sampling weights and was then filtered to the external population using totals associated with age, sex, education, race/Hispanic ethnicity, housing tenure, telephone status, and Census Diction. A 4.82 percent margin of error was reported.

A large majority of the participants believes in the importance of celebrities, industry experts, bloggers and opinion makers in future corporate communications (76 percent). Only 4 percent regard Influencer-PR as a descending branch.

Nevertheless, only a handful of press spokesmen utilize influencers as the mouthpiece of their company's message. As such, more than half of the participants feel that their domestic Influencer-PR is either unimportant (41 percent) or completely irrelevant (13 percent). But: At least for every third participant the collaboration with opinion makers in their own presswork is important (35 percent) and in 5 percent of the cases, crucial.

"We believe the professionals of OnDefend share BDO's commitment to exemplary client service and we want to welcome them into the BDO Alliance USA," said Michael Horwitz, BDO USA, LLP partner and executive director of Alliance Services.

On May 7, OnDefend attended the 2018 BDO Alliance USA Conference where they were introduced for the first time to national Alliance members as well as to the national BDO USA team.

A proprietary user-led software solution, CyberSURE is a plug-and-play security platform that assesses a company's real-time cyber risks, assigns a Cyber Score, lists recommendations and provides tools and support to secure the company. Once the client's Cyber Score improves, they receive a Cyber Secure Certificate to certify they are safe to do business with. CyberSURE clients also have access to a discounted cyber insurance policy to cover issues related to attacks and hacks. The software is easy to use and comes with additional support and services provided by OnDefend.

"CyberSURE is a first of its kind solution giving local and regional companies an affordable way to visualize their current cybersecurity risks as well as the tools to become cyber secure," said OnDefend Cofounder Ben Fink. "CyberSURE will help these companies meet the goal of securing and protecting their company from threats while giving them an easy way to ensure a cyber-safe future."

CyberSURE will initially be available to select strategic relationships, such as the BDO Alliance USA.

"We are excited to expand our relationship with BDO USA," said OnDefend Cofounder Chris Freedman. "Being a trusted Alliance member allows opportunities to work even more closely in collaboration with BDO USA and its Alliance members across the country."

Before joining the Alliance, OnDefend was known to BDO USA as a national provider of preventative cybersecurity testing services to help corporations prepare for and prevent cyber breaches, as well as compliance consulting for national regulations such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH and others.

NEW YORK, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, The Conference Board's Governance Center released a report detailing the role and expectations of corporate directors from the perspective of activist hedge funds. Some who engaged with The Conference Board believe their directors should behave on boards "as if they owned the whole company." Hedge funds think the directors they appoint should treat the board directorship as if only the interests of the hedge fund were at play. This challenges the conventional notion that directors have a duty to act in the interest of all shareholders.

In the report, Just What is the Corporate Director's Job?, the viewpoints featured are from a panel discussion with two principals and a managing director of three activist hedge funds, in addition to a separate interview with a hedge fund representative. Insights from the report include but are not limited to the following:

For activist hedge funds, incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into strategy is not a given. While some hedge funds have recently said they would like to see environmental, social, and governance considerations integrated into strategy and planning, this was not the case for some of the hedge fund representatives who spoke with The Conference Board. Rather, hedge funds see ESG as a separate issue to be studied by boards before it is integrated into company strategy. This could reflect that their investment time-horizons are too short to be concerned about ESG factors, which tend to have longer-term impacts.

While some hedge funds have recently said they would like to see environmental, social, and governance considerations integrated into strategy and planning, this was not the case for some of the hedge fund representatives who spoke with The Conference Board. Rather, hedge funds see ESG as a separate issue to be studied by boards before it is integrated into company strategy. This could reflect that their investment time-horizons are too short to be concerned about ESG factors, which tend to have longer-term impacts. When activist hedge funds look for director nominees, they look for those who are knowledgeable about the portfolio company. They also want the candidates to be actively involved in strategy development and engaged enough with management to understand the short-term and long-term plans of the company.

They also want the candidates to be actively involved in strategy development and engaged enough with management to understand the short-term and long-term plans of the company. Activist hedge funds prefer shorter public disclosure reports. Management's public disclosure materials need to be more succinct and concise. Hedge funds would prefer management deliver an integrated summary report to the board that includes a letter from the chair, the company capital asset strategy, a summary of corporate governance, and sustainability metricsall in 50 pages or less.

"Directors chosen by activist hedge funds can be the most isolated and yet most sought-after members on the board because they often come equipped with more information about the target company than the sitting directors themselves," said Gary Larkin, the report's author and research associate at The Conference Board. "The main reason is those directors are part of a well-thought out process to engage a target company by placing someone on the board to institute changes."

"Activist hedge funds are disrupting the traditional notion of what the job of the corporate director looks like and challenging how directors should approach their fiduciary duties," said Doug Chia, executive director of The Conference Board Governance Center. "While boards and management teams will find this alarming, the activist approach may be indicative of where the job of the director is headed."

The report marks the sixth of several Governance Center reports that feature insights from boardroom stakeholders about the role of the corporate director. In addition to highlights from conversations and interviews, the report includes an overview of activist hedge funds, a hypothetical corporate director's job description based on a panel discussion, and case studies of proxy fights and settlements including activist hedge funds.

Media can contact The Conference Board for a copy of the report.

HONOLULU, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A comparison study was reported at ARVO 2018, which has recently concluded in Honolulu, Hawaii. Drs. Christopher Lievens, Christina Newman, Alan Kabat and optometry student Jacob Weber conducted this study at the Southern College of Optometry (SCO). This study included 50 healthy subjects. Subjects were examined by a masked investigator using a standard autorefractor (Nidek TonoRef II) followed by subjective refinement using a standard phoropter (monocular subjective refraction with binocular balance). Subjective measurements were also conducted in the corresponding subjects using the VASR, a Voice Activ Subjective Refractor by Vmax Vision.

The VASR is a Voice Activ Subjective Refractor that utilizes voice-guided refraction and artificial intelligence.

Phoropter values were measured in 0.25 diopter steps, while VASR data was refine-able to the nearest 0.01 diopters. Final corrected visual acuity was recorded for each eye after each procedure using standard Snellen targets. The phoropter measurements were conducted by faculty members at SCO (Lievens, Newman and Kabat) and the VASR subjective measurements were conducted by an optometry student (Weber).

The results revealed that there was no statistically significant difference from the mean in equivalent sphere measurements (p = 0.1383) between Vmax VASR and the phoropter. Non-parametric analyses (Wilcoxon) were performed as there was a negative skew and the data was platykurtic. Dioptric values for traditional refraction ranged from +1.13 to -12.75 (95 percent confidence interval = -1.63 to -3.63), with a median of -2.50. The VASR, values ranged from +1.08 to -14.39 (95 percent confidence interval = -1.26 to -3.46), with a median of -2.69. The spherical equivalent datasets were highly correlated (r = 0.993); cylinder power and axis were as well (Cylinder: p = 0.6377, r = 0.864) (Axis: p = 0.6991, r = 0.738). Visual acuity measurements were similar for both groups: 14 percent of subjects had better acuity with VASR (> 1 line Snellen), three percent of subjects had worse acuity with VASR (>1 line Snellen), and 83 percent had less than 1 line Snellen difference.

For spherocylindrical refractive error, the results obtained with the Vmax VASR by a second-year optometry student with two hours of training were not statistically different from those achieved using traditional phoropter methods by an SCO optometrist and faculty member. This indicates that the training requirement to refract with the VASR is substantially easier than training to refract using a phoropter, which takes several months (or even years).

Dr. Shui Lai, Ph.D., CEO of Vmax Vision, stated, "The study showed that the difference in the median refraction values between the Vmax measurement and the phoropter measurement is 0.19D and the 95 percent confidence intervals for the two methods are almost completely overlapped (-1.26 to -3.46); a clear indication the VASR and the phoropter produced essentially identical outcomes. The VASR method has a higher percentage in better visual acuity (VA) - one line or more in 14 percent of the subjects vs. the phoropter method which produced better VA in three percent of the subjects, and the rest are within one line of VA. Put another way, the VASR measurements produced equal or better acuity in 97 percent of the subjects, when compared with phoropter refraction."

The VASR (Voice Activ Subjective Refractor) autorefraction utilizes wavefront aberrometry and its subjective refraction uses proprietary point spread function technology. The VASR exam is voice-guided during the entire refraction and it combines artificial intelligence to optimize refraction outcomes. Other advanced features include subjective nighttime refraction, four-minute complete auto and subjective refraction in normal sighted patients; increasing patient flow. The VASR's small footprint of 12' by 18" reduces a refraction lane to a tabletop station. The low weight and small in size make it ideal for portability.

SOURCE Vmax VisionNEW YORK, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Advertisers spend a lot of money on paid search. By 2019, paid search ad spending will reach nearly $40 billion in the U.S. alone. But, according to research from Columbia Business School's Kinshuk Jerath, this tactic has many subtleties and doesn't always result in increased profits for advertisers.

Rooted in the problem of keyword management costs--the operational costs associated with customizing keyword searches and ads--Jerath's research questions the effectiveness of tools like broad match that have been developed by search engines to help advertisers mitigate those costs.

Figuring out all of the possible keywords that consumers might search for and customizing bids and ad copy based on geographical location, time of day, and other characteristics requires a huge investment of advertising resources. But broad match automates the process, saving advertisers a great deal on these resources. While the use of broad match has become commonplace, accounting for the lion's share of search ads displayed and clicked, Jerath identifies one increasing issue.

"Tools like broad match have led to too many advertisers competing over the same keywords, because now bidding on keywords is so easy," said Kinshuk Jerath, Associate Professor of Business at Columbia Business School. "The result is that the search engines are actually the only real winners."

About the Research

The paper, entitled Keyword Management Costs and "Broad Match" in Sponsored Search Advertising and co-authored by Wilfred Amaldoss of Duke University's Fuqua School of Business and Amin Sayedi of the University of Washington's Foster School of Business, weighs the costs and benefits of using a tool like broad match to automatically increase brand visibility online, instead of manually bidding on keyword match results. More importantly, it raises the question of how broad match accuracy influences the effectiveness of advertisers' paid search campaigns.

The key findings of the research suggest that, ultimately, broad match is only effective to a point, a threshold driven largely by the accuracy of broad match that is controlled by the search engine, not the advertiser.

Broad match was initially developed because the keyword management costs associated with tailoring sponsored searches was inhibiting advertisers from participating in bidding for multiple keywords, forcing search engines to reduce their prices on sponsored searches.

Many advertisers have now adopted broad match as a cost-saving and time-saving measure. When the tool matches advertisers with high-relevance keywords, there is a visible value-add for advertisers. But what Jerath and his co-authors discovered through this study is that when the match between a consumer's keyword search and the advertiser's product is low or intermediate, exactly when broad match seems most useful as such keywords are difficult to pre-list for advertisers, using broad match can actually decrease return.

Implications for Advertisers

What can happen, Jerath explains, is a situation where, as an advertiser, you're getting too many inaccurate search results with high competition because everybody else is using broad match too. For example, if a consumer searches "German luxury cars" then, in addition to brands like BMW and Audi, ads of brands like Jaguar (which is British) and Cadillac (which is American) may be matched too if they have opted for broad match, which leads to higher competition in the auction and overall higher ad spend.

Furthermore, while it would seem natural to expect search engines to continuously improve broad match results, the research shows that search engines are only motivated to do so to the point that advertisers choose broad match. Beyond that point, further increases in accuracy start to reduce search engine profits by driving down bid prices.

Jerath's research indicates that there is work to be done in auditing tools that search engines offer advertisers because, while taking for granted their accuracy and effectiveness, anything that makes advertising cheaper creates more competitionand can ultimately hurt your return on investment.

The ISA joins forces with the associations of obese patients in France (CNAO) and Portugal (Adexo) in supporting European Obesity Day 2018

In Europe, it is estimated that over 50% of the people are currently overweight or obese, and that over 20% are obese. By 2030, it is estimated that over 50% of the European population will have obesity. European Obesity Day, celebrated this year on 19th May, is an opportunity to enhance collective efforts to Tackle Obesity Together, by raising awareness about obesity and the many other diseases on which it impacts. This year the International Sweeteners Association (ISA) joins forces with Collectif National des Associations d'Obeses (CNAO - French association for the obese patients) and Adexo (Association of obese and ex-obese patients in Portugal) in supporting European Obesity Day and the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) related-activities.

(Logo: http://mma.prnewswire.com/media/602493/International_Sweeteners_Association_Logo.jpg )

Obesity is a growing public health challenge worldwide and affects people of every age. Common causes of obesity include more sedentary lifestyles, and a combination of lack of physical activity and increased calorie intake. On the other hand, obesity and excess body weight have a direct impact on health and life expectancy, and are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, some cancers and joint and muscle disorders. In addition to having direct impact on the individuals' health, obesity costs the EU 70 billion each year in healthcare cost and productivity.

To support European Obesity Day on 19th May, 2018, the ISA joins forces with CNAO and Adexo in helping raise awareness about obesity and its consequences. On this occasion, the ISA developed in collaboration with CNAO and Adexo an animated video which takes us through the small steps that can be taken towards reducing calorie intake and increasing physical activity and their importance in tackling obesity.

Rogerson, Chairman, President and CEO of Hexion Inc. and Chair of SCI America. "The SCI is pleased to award Barbara's remarkable success in the industry, her contributions to science, and her commitment to a more sustainable planet."

Most recently, Minor developed several new low GWP refrigerants based on HFO technology for supermarket, transport and self-contained refrigeration and large building air conditioning. Opteon XP40 was designed for retrofit and new supermarket refrigeration systems to replace R-404A. Thousands of supermarkets globally have already been converted to XP40 since 2013, providing a significant, positive environmental impact. Other refrigerants in commercial use today include XP44 for refrigerated trucks and trailers, XP10 and XP30 for large building chillers, and recently commercialized XL20 and XL40 for condensing units, ice machines, and reach-in coolers and freezers.

"Barbara's innovative contributions to science and technology matched with her deep understanding of customer and market needs have been central to the success of many new refrigerants," stated Chemours CEO Mark Vergnano. "We are so proud that she has received this richly-deserved recognition for her many contributions to Chemours, the environment, and society as a whole."

Minor will receive the medal at a dinner in her honor on September 25, 2018 at the Hyatt at the Bellevue in Philadelphia.

About Barbara H. Minor

After graduating from Bucknell University with a degree in Chemical Engineering, Minor joined the DuPont company in 1981 where she worked for 34 years. In 2014, Minor was one of the first women named a DuPont Fellow in the company's 200+ year history, which is the highest technical level in DuPont. She joined Chemours, following its spinoff from DuPont in 2015 and is now one of only two corporate fellows in the organization.

Minor has spent most of her career developing non-ozone depleting and low global warming refrigerants for air conditioning and refrigeration applications. She developed several new refrigerants to help meet phase-out requirements for ozone-destroying CFCs and HCFCs and high global warming HFCs. In 2010, she was recognized for her contributions in the development of a low GWP hydrofluoroolefin refrigerant named HFO-1234yf (Opteon YF) for automotive air conditioning. Because HFO-1234yf contains an unsaturated double bond, it has >99% lower GWP than the current refrigerant HFC-134a used in vehicles today. It has been broadly adopted by the automotive industry and is used globally in over 50 million vehicles.

Minor holds over 160 US patents for refrigerants, cleaning agents, and aerosol propellants and has many publications in the field. She is well known not only for her technical accomplishments, but also for her strong mentoring of young scientists and her leadership roles in industry organizations such as the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI).

NEW YORK, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Collingwood Group, a Situs company and Washington, D.C.-based business advisory firm, announced today that they have entered into a strategic technology partnership with Decision Ready Solutions, Inc. in order to significantly expand its existing claims advisory business.

The Collingwood Group

Collingwood has over a decade of experience providing financial services clients with specialized business advisory services, including high value claims advisory, and loss analysis services. Collingwood's partnership with Decision Ready Solutions positions the firm as an industry leading provider of full service, out-sourced claims processing, pre- and post-filing claims quality control reviews, and claims processing technology.

NEW YORK, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As the #1 anti-aging brand in European pharmacies, Vichy Laboratories is a dermatologically-proven skin care brand driven by clean, safe and potent ingredients in pleasurable formulas. Their latest launch is an award-winning innovation, LiftActiv Vitamin C Brightening Skin Corrector. This Vitamin C Serum combines 15% Pure Vitamin C with Natural Origin Hyaluronic Acid and Vichy's Mineralizing Thermal Water for skin that is brighter and feels firmer in just 10 days, and is the newest addition to Vichy's anti-aging line: LiftActiv. Comprised of only 11 ingredients, this high level derm-grade Vitamin C Serum  at an accessible price of $28.50  is paraben-free, fragrance-free, silicone-free and oil-free, further showcasing Vichy's commitment to providing pure, yet potent formulas to help maintain skin health.

"My patients are very concerned about safety, and as a physician, I want to ensure that efficacy and results are also behind the product. My patients are also very informed on current skin care trends, Vitamin C being a particular buzz-word ingredient with rising popularity. It helps minimize fine lines and fights against skin aging caused by daily aggressors  all of which are benefits many of my patients are seeking. However, not all Vitamin C treatments are created equal. The LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum offers the best of both worlds: an effective yet accessible formulation that's simple and clean yet boasts a high concentration of Vitamin C," says Dr. Erin Gilbert, Vichy Consulting Dermatologist.

Exposure to sunlight or pollutants can cause stress, overworking the skin's defenses, and further depleting the amount of Vitamin C in the skin. This contributes to signs of skin aging such as dull and uneven skin tone, loss of firmness, dehydration and fine lines. The LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum combats daily aggressors with 15% Pure Vitamin C from pure ascorbic acid (the most bioavailable form of Vitamin C). Vitamin C, an antioxidant known to help brighten the skin, assists in reducing the appearance of several signs of aging, and helps protect against further skin stress.

The formula also features Natural Origin Hyaluronic Acid, which penetrates the skin to hydrate and plump, and  like all Vichy products  contains Vichy's exclusive Mineralizing Thermal Water, which is naturally rich in 15 essential minerals that help to strengthen skin's moisture barrier and shield skin from daily aggressors like pollution, stress and fatigue.

Vichy is thrilled to announce that LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum has won two awards: the 2018 O, The Oprah Magazine Beauty O-Ward in the category Best Anti-Aging for All and 2018 Self Healthy Beauty Award.

At $28.50, Vichy LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum: Brightening Skin Corrector is available for purchase at VichyUSA.com, Amazon.com, and select CVS, Walgreens, Duane Reade, Target, Ulta & Rite Aid stores.

EXPERT OBSERVATION

Brighter news for Brisbane landlords as the vacancy rate declined to 3% from 3.7% a year earlier, according to SQM Research figures.

Asking rents for Brisbane units increased by +0.4% in the month, too, mainly driven by the upper end of the market (renting good quality property in inner Brisbane still doesn't come cheap, despite the soft market overall).

Brisbane appears to have a turned a corner as population growth picks up and dwelling commencements now decline sharply.

The 6mMA figures attempt to capture the latest trends, but do incorporate the Christmas period, when vacancy rates tend to be high.

Hobart appears to be through the worst for renters with vacancy rates rising slightly to 0.7%.

Adelaide is building plenty of houses, but hasn't experienced the surge in investors seen in the larger cities, and accordingly vacancy rates keep tightening, now down to 1.3%.

Melbourne was also tighter again on strong population growth at 1.3%.

Sydney's vacancy rates was flat at 2.3% in the month, but plenty higher than a year earlier when it was 1.7%, while Perth continues to turn the corner.NGU Real Estate, based in Brisbane, have had one of its online property video ad campaigns banned after it portrayed women as being "similar to cattle."

The real estate firm have been well known for the flashy video advertising they put together in the past.

Lamborginhi's have extensively featured, while most videos follow women around the home, many dolled up in lavish dresses or skimpy fitness wear.

The recent complaints came from a promotional video (screenshots above and below), which had women women partying on a boat, swimming in a pool and performing a fashion show down the homes hallway.

In the clip the women head to the home by boat, despite the six level Norman Park home not fronting the river, as well as arriving in a Bentley and Ferrari.

The trophy home (without video) was featured in Property Observer last month after it was marketed as the Versace of Brisbane.

The video ad has been called "sexist" and "objectifying to women."

NGU Real Estate said it respects the complaints but does not believe it has breached any marketing codes.

The models are portrayed in a confident manner and the key female is fully clothed and in portrayed in a position of power and confidence," NGU Real Estate told Mumbrella.

"The content was created by women and intended to portray women in a confident and positive light, they added.

The ad watchdog agreed, however the Ad Standards Board dubbed the women portrayed as being "similar to cattle."

The women may have been modelling clothes, but the selected woman goes to stand next to the key female after being selected, and the implication is that she has been chosen rather than the clothes," they said.

The Panel considered that this particular scene in the advertisement did employ sexual appeal in a manner which is exploitative of women in regards to the portrayal of women as commodities or objects to possess, Ad Standards concluded upholding the complaint.

The Mumbella website noted NGU Real Estate said the ad had since been removed, however it does still appear on Youtube, as well as on the live realestate.com.au listing.

NGU noted that the company has not acted unlawfully because advertising is self-regulated.

After the company set up in 2016, it made $20 million in one month by the video showcasing. That month it saw 270,000 views on its properties.

Last year NGU announced Australias first real estate mega office for their business in Brisbane, offering buyers and sellers the opportunity to dine and deal.

A fitout started after they purchased property at 37A Archer St, Toowong.

The 807sq m commercial space would be real estates version of Googles Silicon Valley base, according to NGU Group CEO Emil Juresic.

NGU believes the real estate industrys franchise model is dead, Mr Juresic said.

No longer do buyers peer into a shop window to view properties.

"Technology has changed everything and in response we are creating a central state-of-the-art real estate work environment.

Mr Juresic said the innovative and holistic design of the new NGU Real Estate headquarters includes a wide range of facilities from auction rooms to a top-class restaurant.

There will be five meeting zones, a resting area, gymnasium, restaurant, two boardrooms, a conference centre and a large number of carparks, he said.

In the first six months of operation in 2016, the agent recorded $33 million worth of property sales and claimed to be "dominating the industrys digital marketing sphere."Revenue at Hachette Book Group rose 5.4% in the first quarter ended March 31, over the comparable period last year, parent company Lagardere reported. Total sales for the Lagardere publishing group increased 0.4%, to 442 million euros.

Lagardere said revenue for the total publishing group was affected by a negative 23 million euros exchange rate, which was offset by the acquisitions of Brainbow, Bookouture, Summerside, and Jessica Kingsley. The company also noted that e-books' share of revenue fell again in the quarter, dropping from 10% in the first period of 2017 to 9.1% in the most recent quarter.

Within the U.S., HBG CEO Michael Pietsch said the first quarter gains came from many places: #1 bestselling books by HBG house authors James Patterson, David Baldacci, Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, and Brad Meltzer." He added that backlist hits also had an impact, citing You Are a Badass, Obama: An Intimate Portrait and Pachinko. Breakout bestseller such as Russian Roulette and Dear Madam President, also contributed to the sales gain, Piestch said

Pietsch was optimistic about prospects for the second quarter, pointing to the publication of the publisher's biggest book of the year, James Patterson and Bill Clinton's The President is Missing (which Knopf is co-publishing). The book is due out June 4.Controversy has dogged the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) since David Fenza, its longtime executive director, was fired on March 11. In late April, former U.S. poet laureate Rita Dove, AWPs 19861987 board president, wrote an open letter to the organization's current board, in which she claimed that an administrator of the University of Marylands English department [whom she declined to identify for PW] said Fenza was dismissed for creating a hostile work environment. She then asked: Where was the hostile work environment? Were there any formal complaints?

To date, the AWP board has not responded to Doves letter. AWP chair David Haynes told PW that the board cannot respond to such questions, citing its legal obligations to protect Fenzas privacy. However, according to a dozen women who spoke to PW, multiple complaints were lodged against Fenza over the span of a decade.

What Dove wants, she says in the letter, is transparency, since Fenza maintains he was fired without cause. And Fenza, for his part, is standing firm that he is the one who has been wronged by AWP. At no time during the last 18 months did the board let me know about complaints from the staff, Fenza told PW. For the previous 28 years, my performance evaluations were always good to excellent.

AWP, a nonprofit which provides support and resources to writers, college and university creative writing programs, and writers conferences, has been hosted by the University of Maryland since July 2017. Prior to that, AWP had a longstanding affiliation with George Mason University. Though it maintains its status as an independent nonprofit, AWP is now a subunit of UMDs English department. Bonnie Thornton Dill, dean of the School of Arts & Humanities at UMD, signed Fenzas letter of termination. (Under the arrangement AWP has with UMD, its staffers are employed by UMD.)

UMD administrators declined to disclose whether any complaints have been filed against Fenza since AWP moved to the universitys College Park campus. But the sources who reached out to PW allege that Fenza created a hostile work environment for some women on staff, while protecting AWP conference director Christian Teresi, who still works for the organization. The women who spoke to PW said a number of formal grievances were filed against Teresi.

Though most of the women who spoke to PW about their experience at AWP did so on the condition of anonymity, a number provided PW with human resources documents, letters, and emails to support their allegations of gender discrimination, bullying, and retaliation.

Theres a whole story that isnt being told, said one of the women. Its not fair to former employees like me, or to AWP members, that there is only Fenzas version out there, amplified in different publications. We talked a lot about serving our members the three years I worked there; the best way to serve our members is for them to know the truth.

In one discrimination complaint filed against Teresi in 2011, a woman wrote that he inappropriately interrogated her when she requested leave for her own health issues and to care for an ailing infant. He later gave her a negative performance evaluation. His behavior toward her, she noted in the complaint, seems to be motivated by my role as a mother.

Shortly after filing the complaint, the woman resigned, though she continued the grievance process. GMU dismissed her claims of gender discrimination due to insufficient evidence, but Linda Schwartzstein, GMU's vice provost, subsequently wrote to the woman, and said that given the possibility that [the negative] performance evaluation rating was an act of retaliation by Fenza and Teresi, the evaluation had been removed from her personnel file.

Several women told PW that they filed complaints in 2013 concerning gender-based pay disparities, alleging that a man in a similar position to them with less experience and fewer qualifications received a higher salary. One woman said she received a raise but resigned shortly thereafter. Another woman said she completed the grievance process and then resigned. She added, I really thought something would be done about Fenza, or at least about [Teresi], and it wasnt. So I left.

Amber Withycombe worked at AWP as its development director from 2011 to 2013, and she recalled her time there was personally and professionally very difficult, with constant friction between Fenza and staff due to what she and many other former employees have described as his autocratic and capricious management style.

Tensions, Withycombe said, were compounded by Fenzas reluctance to mediate between Teresi and other employees. Staff departures, particularly in the conference department, were frequent and rarely discussed, she said. Current and past board members made comments to me about the high turnover that suggested they were well aware of how challenging it was to work at AWP.

In June 2013 five senior staffers, including Withycombe, compiled for Fenza (and copied to a GMU HR rep) their grievances, along with those of junior staffers, regarding Teresis behavior. Withycombe provided copies of these documents to PW. In her grievance, she wrote to Fenza: It is clear to me that [Teresi] is held to a different standard and expectation than other employees. AWP staff members have repeatedly made you aware of his unprofessional behavior, but you have not addressed it in a way that has curbed its continuation. I urgently request that you find a course of action that leads to the establishment of a healthy and functional workplace for all AWP staff.

Fenza and Teresi told PW they were aware of only one complaint filed with GMU: the 2011 one that had been dismissed. As long as I have worked at AWP, I have strived to make it an inclusive and respectful workplace, wrote Teresi. None of my evaluations in my 16 years at AWP give credence to what you have suggested. Fenza also noted that, since 2012, AWP has hired more experienced and professional staff, which reduced turnover.

Staff turnover at AWP has slowed since 2014, which might be a consequence of the grievances filed by those five senior staffers in 2013. According to 20132014 AWP board president Judith Baumel, during her tenure the board was made aware of serious accusations of harassment and discrimination against women and people of color at the organization. Together with GMUs HR office, we worked with Fenza to address these. Baumel said that she left the board in 2014, too soon to see any real changes.

Current AWP employees declined to respond on the record to PWs questions concerning the organization's office environment, but former development director Pamela Mills, who retired last month, said that she enjoyed a very professional, collegial, and respectful working relationship with her colleagues. She noted, however, that there had been issues when she was hired in the fall of 2013 that were being handled by HR with lots of staff training and professional development workshops to repair internal staff problems."

Despite the effort to change AWP's working environment around 2014, issues continued to linger. William Miller, who directed GMUs creative writing program from 1992 until his retirement this month, said after that period questions were raised about whether the organization had addressed those issues to HRs satisfaction." He added that "there were intimations HR was not satisfied." Miller noted, though, that "GMU did not tell AWP to leave. It was AWPs decision to move to UMD after the agreement with GMU expired, he said, citing the organizations need for more office space and higher salaries.

Chloe Schwenkea transgender activist with extensive managerial experience in academia and nonprofit organizationswas named interim director of AWP in April, and the board is searching for a permanent director. Withycombe hopes new leadership will allow AWP to move forward.I so loved working with most everybody at AWP, she said. AWP has so much potential. I hope they find a leader who heals the debacle of the last dozen years with honesty and transparency.Brad Martin is retiring as CEO of Penguin Random House Canada effective June 30. Kristin Cochrane, who has served as president and publisher of PRH Canada since 2015, will take over as CEO on July 1.

Martin began his career in 1981 as a sale representative for McClelland & Stewart. He joined Penguin Books Canada in 1984, and was later named president of that company in 1996. He left for what would become Bantam Doubleday Dell Canada in 1998 and rose to the position of CEO of Random House of Canada in 2007. Finally, in 2013, he assumed the role of CEO of the newly formed Penguin Random House Canada. He will be remembered for, among numerous accomplishments, the acquisition and integeration of McClelland & Stewart's assets into PRH Canada.

Cochrane joined Doubleday Canada in 2005 as associate publisher and has been with the company ever since. She has become one of the most recognizable and powerful women in Canadian media. With her new position, she will oversee sales, finance, operations, human resources, marketing and publicity.

In his letter announcing her promotion, PRH CEO Markus Dohle observed that "as a leader, Kristin has an impressive track record of mentoring and empowering her publishing teams to make our iconic Canadian imprints even more successful."According to research by media agency MediaCom and technology company ViewersLogic, second-screening  that is the act of watching TV while using a mobile or other connected device  was found to actually improves viewers chances of following up on an ad by 75%. This reflects the ease with which a viewer can access a website/app from the brand theyve just seen using a mobile device.The results, taken from 1,877 people in the UK, were consistent across all age groups, gender and TV channels sampled, the companies said.Women were more receptive to actively responding to an ad while second-screening, with 59% of all their active responses happening while using another device . That compares with 51% of men. The 40-54 age group was the most responsive, with 57% of all active responses happening while multitasking; and 55+ was the least responsive demographic, with 50%.In another surprising finding, people who saw ad while second-screening were observed as being more brand-aware. One example tested found a 12%-point difference in brand awareness between those who were second screening during the ad exposure and those who were not.The research also found that the so-called zapping rate (the average number of channel changes a user does per hour) is 10% lower while viewers are engaged with their mobile phones than without them. This was found to be the case with all age ranges except 18-24, who actually changed channels more frequently while second-screening.In the past few years, the way people watch TV has changed quite drastically; on average, people spend around 30% of their TV time simultaneously looking at their phone or tablet, said Pauline Robson, head of insight at MediaCom . Historically, brands have shuddered at the thought of attention wandering to the second screen. However, our research has flipped that misconception on its head and shown that advertisers should actively look for shows where the audience is most likely to be second-screening. Media plans should actively take into account the second screening effect in order to improve efficiency; the opportunities for brands are huge.A new report from Human Rights Watch highlights increased indiscriminate killing of civilians in Afghanistan by the Taliban and other groups since 2016, despite their claims that they do not target civilians. The report comes on the heels of suicide bombings in Kabul last week that killed 29 people, including 10 journalists. Despite the non-stop violence, U.S. personnel recently expressed cautious optimism to oversight representatives about the U.S.s mission there, and our conditions-based strategy, as well as reform initiatives by the Afghan government.

Documenting their findings in a Special Report released at the end of March, the Inspectors General (IG) of the Department of Defense, State, and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) conducted a trip to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Qatar as part of their mission to provide oversight on ongoing military, diplomatic, and reconstructions efforts taking in place in countries around the world. Countering this optimism, though, the IGs recognized that the terror threat in Afghanistan remains high and deadly, and it is uncertain whether these new initiatives will make a lasting difference.

As the violence highlighted above shows, things have not been going very well in Afghanistan. Reconstruction projects produce bad to lukewarm results, wasting millions of dollars in the process. The amount of land held by the Afghan government has been consistently declining over the last several years. A key issue at the heart of U.S. underperformance in Afghanistan is corruption. As the IGs make clear, substantive progress cannot be made without significant reductions in corruption. Corruption is pervasive and deep-rooted throughout Afghanistan, and it is hard to see how other objectives can be met if the Afghans are unable to effectively address this issue, they write. Given the history of this conflict, that should sow doubt in all of our minds about the indefinite nature of the U.S.s presence.

Corruption has plagued the U.S.s efforts from the very beginning. As the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) wrote in September 2016, there was not sufficient appreciation for the threat corruption posed to the long-term U.S. goal of a peaceful, stable Afghanistan in the immediate aftermath of the 2001 invasion. By 2005, U.S. officials realized that corruption was a significant obstacle to rebuilding efforts, but there was no cohesive, consistent response...anticorruption efforts lacked sustained political commitment, strategies, expertise, and resources.

One reason efforts lagged is that fighting corruption required relying on the very people that benefited from it. It required the cooperation of Afghan elites whose power relied on the very structures that anticorruption efforts sought to dismantle. This included warlords and other powerbrokers whom the U.S. supported to achieve security and stability goals.

The Taliban were able to gain control of Afghanistan in the 1990s by promising to end the predatory ruling of warlords that dominated the country after the retreat of the Soviet Union. This became their slogan again after the emergence of the Karzai administration, as many regional warlords were appointed to senior government positions, all the while continuing to subject the Afghan population to terror and corrupt governance.

Reconstruction efforts also run the inherent risk of creating new sources of corruption as well, as new power players emerge. Reconstruction and state-building efforts often do not work as intended because those who become or remain empowered during reconstruction frequently use new institutions and resources to ensure their political survival, pursue personal agendas and maximize the economic and political goals of the groups they represent, says Megan Stewart, an assistant professor at American Universitys School of International Service.

This exact thing happened in Afghanistan, as previously non-influential individuals gained power through their connection to the U.S. and the international community. As SIGAR John Sopko has written, [t]hey mobilized their own militias and commanded strong loyalty from the army or police, while benefiting from access to foreign militaries and aid agencies...these strongmen strengthened their links to the drug trade, smuggling, and criminal networks.

Tribal politics are also at play  something else the U.S. didnt understand very well  as many senior government positions under Karzai were filled by non-Pashtuns. Pashtuns have dominated Afghanistan for much of its modern history and saw the U.S. turning over its country to corrupt members of its ethnic archrival, the Tajiks. This further strengthened the position of the Taliban.

The Afghan government under President Ashraf Ghani has committed to a broad package of reforms. There has been some optimism surrounding the passing of the Inherent Law, which reduces the mandatory retirement age for military leaders from 72 to 60, forcing out those who rose through the ranks based on patronage.

But the Defense, State, and USAID IGs ultimately express skepticism that these reforms will see any significant change. They write that it remains to be seen whether the Afghan government will sustain its commitment to...underlying reforms. During the last 17 years of United States involvement in Afghanistan, such commitment has been inconsistent. Many of the milestones already achieved represent low hanging fruit.

Its clear that the U.S. sees corruption as a major issue in Afghanistan, and yet oversight officials remain skeptical of the long-term viability of reform. This is the folly of a conditions-based approach to our presence there. Weve committed indefinitely to a battle that we arent sure we can win, and even if we can win, its not clear it will be worth the cost.

Follow him on Twitter @JerrodALaber.France and England were traditional enemies. In North America alone they have fought each other in four different wars. But it was not until the Seven Years' War (1756-63) that the issue of who controlled the continent was settled once and for all. During that struggle Great Britain finally made the conquest of New France a priority and invested enough men and equipment to accomplish its aim. With the help of the Royal Navy, New France was effectively cut off from reinforcements, while at the same time it allowed the British to build up the necessary strength in the thirteen colonies to destroy the French presence in North America. British Naval Supremacy coupled with England's escalation of the war in North America sealed the fate of New France during the Seven Years' War.[1].

In order to understand what happened in North America during the war, it is necessary to understand that the conflict there was only one part of, what some historians view, as the first real global war. Britain and France not only fought in North America, but in India, Europe and on the seas. Given so many theatres of war, each with differing degrees of importance, it was necessary that nations had to choose priorities.[2].

It was easy for England to set priorities. Thanks to her island status and the supremacy of the Royal Navy, it was unnecessary for Britain to field a large conventional army to defend its shores or to fight in Europe. Since the United Kingdom's greatest interest was in sea trade and amassing colonies, it was only natural that the war at sea and in the colonies got preference. The only problem was that she was obliged to protect the Kingdom of Hanover, which was technically in Union with England. Britain solved this problem by making an alliance with Frederick the Great of Prussia, who was arguably the greatest General of the time. They also financed a German Army to fight in Hanover as well as sending a few troops of their own.[3].Some of you may still be debating the laurel vs. yanny recording that exploded online this week like another summer storm. It is an allegory for our troubled time, in which some of us simply cannot even hear what others hear, let alone understand the positions they take. Unfortunately, so is the ugly debate over whether Sen. John McCain, one of our greatest living heroes, deserves an apology from someone mocking the fight of his life.

It has come to this -- reverence for the gift McCain has given our country can be subjugated by partisan rage. That McCain has become a casualty of our vulgar tribalism is a dark stain on our country.

When most of us (according to polling) look at McCain, we can only see the son of an admiral, refusing early release from a North Vietnam prison and choosing further detention and torture at the hands of his captors, for the sake of solidarity with his brothers in arms. For years.

Yet many others view McCain as some Republican misfit who disappointed them. While some are willing to acknowledge his sacrifice, they choose to give his political choices more weight. They are not overcome by his valor, but overwhelmed by his votes across the aisle. Voting against so-called skinny repeal of Obamacare last summer, which many believe McCain did on behalf of his colleagues who felt forced to support it but wanted it to fail, was -- to GOP partisans and to President Trump -- apostasy.

No one is surprised Trump has not asked his aide to publicly apologize for her now famous aside that McCains opposition to the nomination of Gina Haspel for CIA director didnt matter because hes dying anyway. Trump has mocked McCains service and imprisonment before, blasted him for blocking repeal of the Affordable Care Act and has never publicly apologized for anything except the Access Hollywood recording, on which he bragged about sexual assault. But the staffer, Kelly Sadler, did apologize to McCains daughter Meghan and offer to make a public apology, which she has yet to do. To distract from the painful episode, which has been addressed not only by Meghan but her mother, Cindy, on Twitter, the White House continues decrying leaks.

On Tuesday night, pollster Peter Hart conducted a focus group in Wisconsin and found some Trump voters lined up against the war hero. According to the Washington Post, one Trump supporter called McCain petty while another referred to him as a turncoat. Hart concluded: If anybody has a doubt about how solid the Trump core is, come listen to this group. They couldnt even find a nice word to say about John McCain.

Fortunately, on the same night, McCains son appeared in his stead at the International Republican Institutes annual Freedom Dinner, where Defense Secretary James Mattis paid homage to the senator.

Tonight, there is a man standing here right beside me, and you and I can see him in our minds eye, said Mattis, who was there receiving a Freedom Award. Hes a giant, in my mind, of American public life. He leads steadfastly, nothing can diminish him, he steadfastly represents the best of our country.

Mattis added: Everything I love about America is resident in this man, who denied cynicism and victimhood to be a role model for so many of us.

U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who also received a Freedom Award, said to McCains son: You should know that your dad is in our hearts tonight. John McCain has shown multiple generations of Americans what it means to be a true patriot, and all of us are in his debt.

While at least eight GOP senators are on the record calling for someone at the White House to issue some form of an apology, not one addressed the subject when Trump joined them at the Capitol for lunch Tuesday. One of McCains best friends, Sen. Lindsey Graham, instead sent a tweet after the gathering that Trump himself would have written: President @realdonaldtrump is a believer in peace through strength. President Trump today gave an excellent overview of our North Korea and Iran policy, and how he forcefully plans to deal with both threats. Two days earlier, Graham called Sadlers comment disgusting on Face the Nation. He didnt stop there. I just wish somebody from the White House would tell the country that was inappropriate -- thats not who we are in the Trump administration. ... I think most Americans would like to see the Trump administration do better in situations like this. It doesn't hurt you at all to do the right thing and to be big.

Its hard to imagine that the fear of ruffling Trumps feathers was so overpowering not one senator could rise and respectfully suggest that a statement expressing at least that the incident was unfortunate would be a fitting response to mocking a war hero battling cancer. They could have said that they desperately hope McCain doesnt die during this back-and-forth, so perhaps some closure is in order.

When asked after the lunch, as he knew he would be, about whether the subject was raised, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wore his trademark expressionless expression and said no but: The person who said that should apologize, and apologize publicly.

McConnell was fresh off his visit with McCain over the weekend, and had to be hoping -- as were all his colleagues -- that McCain wasnt following the disappointing developments. Certainly, they know, his family is.

McCain is facing the final chapter in his journey with trademark stoicism, humor and gratitude, speaking of how lucky he has been to live the life he has. He tells friends who visit that he loves them. Ever the brave veteran, he is unbroken. But for the McCain family -- who live by a heros code, understand the depth of his sacrifice, and now suffer as they face losing him -- this dark episode cuts deep into their aching hearts. And they know, most strikingly at this of all hours, that a nation that would make McCain a dividing line has broken so much of what he and many others worked so hard to help build.Race Analysis

10/26/18 -- Joe Donnelly voted against Brett Kavanaughs nomination, and recent polls have shown a tied race. Hes below 50 percent in a state where undecideds probably approve of President Trump.

9/13/18 -- This is another race where Democrats looked to be in solid position over the summer, but where that position has deteriorated. Joe Donnelly still leads, but it is largely on the back of a month-old poll from Trafalgar Group. The Brett Kavanaugh nomination is something of a gut check for Donnelly, who needs to keep some Republicans in his corner without depressing the hyper-activated Democratic base.

5/14/18 -- Congressmen Luke Messer and Todd Rokita beat each other up in the primary, and it allowed businessman Mike Braun to sneak up the middle and capture the nomination. The danger for Republicans is that Braun hasnt been thoroughly vetted, because Messer and Rokita focused so much of their fire on each other. The danger for Democrats is that someone who hasnt been to Washington is a pretty good foil for Joe Donnelly in this environment. Polling shows a tight race, which is not what an incumbent Democratic Senator running in a red state wants at this point in the cycle. Assuming no major skeletons are in Brauns closet, Donnelly is in deep trouble.

----------Race Preview----------

Indiana is an anomaly in many ways. Unlike northern tier states such as Minnesota and Michigan, large portions of the state have a Southern heritage; unlike Ohio and Illinois, it lacks a massive industrial super-city that drew in scores of Eastern and Southern European immigrants around the turn of the century. Because of this, its politics have been very different from those of other Great Lakes states. In the late 19th and early 20th century, it was the most Democratic Great Lakes state. Today, it is the most heavily Republican. Democrat Vance Hartke won a senate seat in the state in an upset in the good Democratic year of 1958. He was re-elected in the 1964 landslide. He won a third term in 1970 against a quality Republican opponent, but lost in a landslide to Republican Richard Lugar in 1976. Lugar won six terms before losing a primary challenge in a landslide to state Treasurer Richard Mourdock. Mourdock, in turn, made a controversial statement about rape shortly before the election, which went to Democrat Joe Donnelly. Donnelly is unlikely to be so lucky this time around. Republicans have a pair of well-qualified potential opponents in representatives Luke Messer and Todd Rokita. President Trumps low job approval ratings will hurt whoever emerges from the primary, but the red nature of the state pretty much guarantee it will remain on our radar screen.President Donald Trump's call last June to revitalize America's deteriorating civil nuclear program has taken on new importance. A few weeks ago, Russian legislators in the State Duma, in retaliation for U.S. sanctions, introduced a bill that would cut off trade with the U.S. nuclear power industry, which produces roughly 20 percent of U.S. electricity. Russia provided about 20 percent of the fuel needed to power those reactors.The Trump administration accused the head of Iran's central bank of funneling money to Hezbollah and designated him as a global terrorist on Tuesday, placing further financial constraints on Tehran a week after President Trump called for reimposing sanctions that were lifted as part of an Obama-era nuclear deal.

The new designation is separate from the nuclear sanctions that were reinstated last week against Iran. But after Mr. Trump announced his decision to back out of the nuclear deal, he promised to impose sanctions on any companies  including banks  that do business with Iran.

Last week, the United States Treasury Department, in coordination with the United Arab Emirates, sought to disrupt an Iranian currency exchange network that transferred money to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to help fund Hezbollah, which the United States considers a terrorist group. The exchange system worked with Iran's central bank, and the Treasury Department said Tuesday's actions were a continuation of attempts to disrupt it.Lots of people have little faith in the government and politicians, but it doesn't have to be that way.

Kilauea first erupted May 3, and its blazing emissions have transformed parts of the tranquil Hawaiian neighborhood into mounds of ash and hardened magma.

Images taken before the volcanic eruption show idyllic, tree-lined streets and simple one-story homes. The after images tell a different story. Hot lava bubbles up from fissures in the roadways, and crackling fires turn green lawns black.

See before-and-after photos in the above gallery.

Kilauea's emissions have destroyed more than 40 structures, including two dozen homes, and forced thousands to evacuate for fear of a possible explosive eruption.

Officials said it's impossible to predict how long the eruptions will continue.

Asta Miklius, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcanoes Observatory, told The Associated Press there is ample magma in the volcano's system.

"How long it will last will depend on whether the summit magma reservoir gets involved," she said.

Hawaii Gov. David Ige mobilized the Hawaii National Guard to assist with evacuations and security. Ige also signed an emergency proclamation providing state money for response efforts. There are about 770 structures in the subdivision where lava is flowing.

Amy Graff, an SFGATE staff writer, and the Associated Press contributed to this report.Another year, another set of rankings from U.S. News & World Report - the 2018 America's Best High Schools.

What does U.S. News think "best" means? According to the magazine's methodology for the list, the answer mostly involves standardized test scores and graduation rates. Never mind that the former are limited in what they tell us about a school, and the latter are, and have repeatedly been, easily fudged in one way or another.

For 2018, U.S. News gave charter schools - which are publicly funded but privately operated - seven of the top 10 spots, including the top three, which are part of Arizona's BASIS charter network.

Here's the list:

1. BASIS Scottsdale, Arizona

2. BASIS Chandler, Arizona

3. BASIS Oro Valley, Arizona

4. BASIS Tucson North, Arizona

5. BASIS Flagstaff, Arizona

6. Meridian School, Round Rock, Texas

7. International Academy of Macomb, Clinton Township, Michigan

8. BASIS Peoria, Arizona

9. Baccalaureate School for Global Education, New York

10. Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, Alexandria, Virginia

Seven of the top 10 are charter schools (BASIS schools plus Meridian), which is delighting charter school advocates who are reveling in the news during 2018 National Charter Schools Week - so declared by President Donald Trump.

But what do these lists really tell us - and what don't they tell us about these schools?

The new high school rankings don't talk about why comparing traditional public schools to charters is a problem.

Traditional public and charter schools don't operate the same way. Charters operate with different rules than public districts. They don't have to be transparent to the public, and in many places they are run by for-profit companies. The BASIS charter network - the one with six Arizona schools in the ranking's top 10 - is a nonprofit but is operated by a for-profit company. And that company is owned by the people who started the schools in 1998. There are 20 BASIS charter schools in Arizona and several others elsewhere, including one in Washington, D.C.

Nationally, the highest-performing charter schools often have high attrition rates and fewer English-language learners and students with disabilities than do traditional school districts. In 2015-2016, 1.2 percent of the students at the BASIS schools in Arizona had a learning disability, compared with 11.3 percent of students statewide, according to this piece about the charter network.

Charter school management organizations often spend a good deal of money to market and recruit students. Charters can control the number of students they accept, which traditional public schools can't.

The Arizona Republic reported in this article that BASIS schools get more in basic funding than traditional public schools, but they pay teachers much less and ask parents to make donations. The paper said it had obtained records showing that BASIS Scottsdale asks parents to contribute at least $1,500 per child each year - even though charter schools are tuition-free by design - to subsidize teacher pay.

The network was started in 1998 by two economists, Michael and Olga Block, who wanted to challenge students with Advanced Placement-focused curriculum. All high school students are required to take half-a-dozen Advanced Placement tests - a requirement that marries well with rankings that depend in part on student AP participation.

The Republic reported that the Blocks own a private company called BASIS.ed, which provides the educational services at BASIS schools. The Republic said that "according to an agreement between BASIS Schools and BASIS.ed, the Blocks' private firm keeps 11.75 percent of all school revenues - state, federal and local tax dollars - for management fees."

Noting that the Blocks "made a $1.68 million downpayment on an $8.4 million condominium in New York City" last December, the Republic reported on a letter sent to BASIS parents from two executives at BASIS.ed, Peter Bezanson and Craig Barrett. The letter said, according to the newspaper, that the Blocks had put "their heart and soul" and their own money into the schools and to "claim that they should not profit from their life's work is unkind and, frankly, un-American."

That's right: They labeled as un-American those who criticize people who are getting rich from publicly funded schools. But putting that aside, the notion that it is fair to rank these schools with traditional public schools is nonsensical.

So here's how U.S. News decided that BASIS schools in Arizona deserved top honors in its 2018 high school rankings:

--Step 1: The first step determined whether each school's students were performing better than statistically expected for students in that state.

U.S. News started by looking at reading and math results for all students on each state's high school proficiency tests. U.S. News then factored in the percentages of economically disadvantaged students - who tend to score lower - enrolled at the schools to identify schools performing much better than statistical expectations. To pass Step 1, high schools' performance had to be one-third of one standard deviation above the average. . . .

--Step 2: For schools passing the first step, Step 2 assessed whether their historically underserved students - black, Hispanic and low-income - performed at or better than the state average for historically underserved students. . . .

--Step 3: For schools passing the first and second step, Step 3 required schools to meet or surpass a benchmark for their graduation rate. This is the third year U.S. News has included this step. . . .

--Step 4: Schools that made it through the first three steps became eligible to be judged nationally on the final step - college-readiness performance - using Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate test data as the benchmark for success. AP is a College Board program and IB is an International Baccalaureate (IB) program; both offer college-level courses at high schools across the country. . . .

This fourth step measured which schools produced the best college-level achievement for the highest percentages of their students. This was done by computing a College Readiness Index based on the school's AP and IB participation rate - the number of 12th-grade students in the 2015-2016 academic year who took at least one AP or IB test before or during their senior year, divided by the total number of 12th-graders at the school - and how well the students performed on those tests.Cambodias Prime Minister Hun Sen is in breach of the countrys electoral laws by urging people to vote for him in an upcoming general ballot, election observers said Thursday, because he is rallying for his ruling Cambodian Peoples Party (CPP) outside of the official campaign period.



Hun Sen has called for Cambodians to support him at the July 29 polls at nearly every public appearance he has made in recent weeksincluding while speaking at events for factory workers, students, and civil servantsdespite a law which only allows campaigning between July 7 and 27.



Korn Savang, senior election observer for the Committee on Free and Fair Elections in Cambodia (Comfrel), told RFAs Khmer Service it is illegal for Hun Sen to abuse the role of public servant to benefit ones own political party by campaigning during the appearances.



When the prime minister is advocating for people to vote for him and his party outside of the electoral campaign period, he is abusing his title and misappropriating state resources for his own political gain.



Comfrel, along with fellow electoral watchdog Neutral and Impartial Committee for Free and Fair Elections in Cambodia (NICFEC), have said that they will not participate in Julys election as monitors following the banning of the main opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) by Cambodias Supreme Court in November for allegedly plotting to overthrow the government.



The CNRP received more than 3 million votesaccounting for nearly half of the countrys registered votersin Cambodias 2013 general election, and enjoyed similar success in last years commune ballot, making it the only legitimate challenger to the CPP ahead of July. Hun Sens crackdown on the opposition in recent months is widely seen as part of a bid to ensure his party stays in power after the vote.



Political analyst Lao Mong Hay echoed Korn Savangs concerns, but said he was not surprised that Hun Sen does not face legal trouble for campaigning outside of the official period, as Cambodias courts and the National Election Committee (NEC)the nations top electoral bodylack independence.



This is when the National Election Committee, which is expected to be neutral, should step in and introduce some sanctions against him and other individuals who breach this rule, he said.



But Dim Sovannarom, a spokesperson for the NEC, said that the committee is only empowered to act during the electoral campaign period.



The NEC is a technical body that abides by the electoral law, and the law stipulates that the NECs jurisdiction only kicks in during the electoral campaign period, which runs from July 7-27, he said.



Outside of that period, the NEC has no authority on the matter. The NEC just follows the law. We do not have any other options.



Yem Ponhearith, a spokesperson for the CNRP, told RFA that Hun Sen and other government officials act in violation of the laws on campaigning during every election  yet the NEC has never taken action against them.



It is illegal for Hun Sen to call on people to vote for him and his political party in his capacity as the prime minister, he said.



The prime minister must behave like onehe represents the whole country, not just his party. Every time he starts calling for people to vote for him and his party in his capacity as the prime minister, he enters into the electoral campaign too soon. Its not right.



Hun Sen began urging Cambodians to vote for him in the upcoming election as early as December, when he told several thousand factory workers in the capital Phnom Penh that he hoped that they and their families would vote for the CPP and for me, so that I can continue to rule this country.



This is not an election campaign, the prime ministerwho has led Cambodia for more than three decadessaid at the time, adding that no one can ban me from saying this, and asking for people to vote for me is not wrong.



Party registration



Meanwhile, as of Thursday, a total of eight political parties have been accepted by the NEC to participate in Julys election, after the committee extended the period for parties to register beyond the original May 14 deadline.



The eight parties recognized by the NEC are the CPP, the royalist Funcinpec Party, the Cambodian Youth Party (CYP), the Khmer National United Party (KNUP), the Khmer National Party of Cambodia (KNPC), the Grassroots Democracy Party (GDP), the New Light Party (NLP), and the One Khmer Party (OKP).



Of the eight parties, only the CPP and Funcinpec Party currently hold seats in the National Assembly, or parliament, and ran in the last general election of 2013. The other parties are largely considered government-aligned or too insignificant to garner many votes.



On May 14, only four parties had been recognized by the NEC, while sixteen others were being vetted by the committee, prompting it to extend the registration deadline to May 19. Nearly 8.4 million people have registered to vote in the July election.



On Thursday, Dim Sovannarom mocked Comfrel and Nicfec in response to their decisions earlier this week to abstain from election monitoring, calling them tiny NGOs whose absence will do little to affect the ballot.



Higher education associations based in all of Cambodias 25 provinces will send a total of 2,000 members to observe the elections, he added.



CPP spokesperson Sok Eysan also slammed the electoral watchdogs on Thursday, saying that by deciding not to participate, they had waived their right to comment, predict, analyze, and recommend anything in relation to the vote.



In an interview with RFAs Khmer Service in early April, Comfrel director Koul Panha, who fled Cambodia last year after authorities disbanded the Comfrel-led Situation Room cluster of election monitoring NGOs, questioned the legitimacy of the July 29 election in the absence of the CNRP.



Koul Panha had said Comfrel would wait until the May 14 deadline for political parties to register before deciding whether it would participate as a monitor in the upcoming vote, and also urged would-be international observers to be aware of the political situation in Cambodia before accepting an invitation from NECthe countrys official electoral bodyto do the same.



US weighs in



Amid Hun Sens crackdown on the political opposition, both the U.S. and EU have withdrawn donor support for Cambodias elections, citing government actions seen as limiting democracy in the country.



In a statement on Thursday, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert decried the Cambodian governments decision to prohibit the CNRP from participating in the national elections, saying it would prevent millions of Cambodian voters from exercising their democratic right to vote for candidates of their choice and had [called] into question the integrity of the electoral process.



We urge the Cambodian government to reinstate CNRP candidates immediately, she said.



Nauert also noted that the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention had recently concluded that CNRP President Kem Sokhas imprisonment, following his arrest in September last year on charges of treason, is arbitrary, and said that the State Department was renewing its call for his immediate release.



Also on Thursday, Florida Congressman Ted Yoho, the chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific, introduced to U.S. Congress his new draft bill known as the Cambodia Democracy Act of 2018, which he has said aims to punish Cambodia over the governments recent restrictions on the countrys democratic process.



We must send a signal to Hun Sen and his CPP cronies that they cannot deny the freedoms that the Cambodian people yearn for and deserve, he said, while announcing the bill on the House floor.



In a statement last week, Yoho said the legislation would push back against the Hun Sen regimes undermining of democracy and related human rights abuses by applying financial sanctions to the figures who carry out this despicable agenda and codifying the [U.S. President Donald Trump] Administrations existing visa restrictions for these individuals.



The CPP has countered that Yohos Cambodia Democracy Act was a violation of Cambodias sovereignty.

Toxic substances including chromium and cyanide used to flush gold mines were improperly handled and seeped into a river, sickening hundreds and killing more than a dozen people in two northeastern Cambodian provinces, the countrys industry minister said on Thursday.

Minister of Industry and Handicraft Cham Prasidh told Cambodian media that the government will take action against mining outfits responsible for allowing toxic mining chemicals to seep into the water supplies of Kratie and Mondulkiri provinces.

Experts from the ministry examined the water in the river of Prek Te in Kratie and found chromium and cyanide. The substances were found at various mining sites between Kratie and neighboring Mondulkiri and the ministry believed that they were improperly handled and that rain washed them into the river.

Cham Prasidh repeated an earlier assertion, offered by officials in early May after over 200 residents of two villages in Kratie provinces Cheth Borey district were sickened, with 18 later dying, that some deaths were the result of the consumption of homemade wine. The minister did not give a breakdown of deaths caused by toxic mine substances or homemade wine.

Cambodias minister of health put the total number of deaths in Kratie at 14, while local villagers and authorities say 18 people died.

Shortly after the Kratie deaths were reported 80 indigenous ethnic Phnorng residents of four villages in Mondulkiri province fell ill after drinking contaminated water from a stream that had long been the source of drinking water for the area.

Prap Chuob, a Phnorng resident of Chak Char village, said that villagers are now afraid to use the stream for drinking water. The contamination was caused by a Chinese mining company that had been drilling upstream near the water source, he told RFAs Khmer Service on Tuesday.

In late 2017, after Chinese mining firms began to operate in the region, he said, six cattle died as the result of suspected water contamination.

U.S.-based advocacy group Water.org found that around four million Cambodians lack access to clean water, while some six million others lack access to proper sanitation and hygiene. Among those who face a shortage of clean water, the group said, some 80 percent live in rural areas of the country.

The ruling Chinese Communist Party's crackdown on Protestant churches continued on Thursday with warnings to churches in several provinces that they should shut down and the demolition of property funded by believers.



A Christian church follower in the eastern province of Jiangxi said that a church of more than 200 members in Jinxian county had recently been ordered to close down.



"The Supreme Love group in Jinxian county received [the warning] last month. Believers there told me that they have been harassed by the government and told not to hold gatherings any more," the church member said.



"But they carried on meeting, and now they have been threatened," the church member said. "They hold their services in a village, maybe 200 or 300 people at a time."



Meanwhile, religious affairs officials in the southeastern province of Fujian ordered a church in Nanping city to register with the government-approved Three Self Patriotic Association of Protestant churches.



An anonymous source in the area told RFA that the county religious affairs bureau had told members they were banned from holding meetings in each other's homes.



In the port city of Xiamen, authorities shut down a kindergarten built and fully funded by the city's Xunsiding church.



Video of the incident seen by RFA showed a number of parents and children at the gates of the kindergarten, singing and praying in apparent protest.



Local sources said the church had received notification from the religious affairs bureau and the education bureau saying that the kindergarten hadn't obtained the necessary approvals before opening its doors.



Retirement home torn down



And in the southern province of Guangdong, authorities in Luhe county near Shanwei city shut down an old people's home set up and run by the Baishitang Church.



"The church spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on building this old people's' home," a Protestant church member who asked to remain anonymous told RFA on Thursday.



"The Shanwei authorities sent out 200-300 riot police to demolish it,"the church member said. "They would sometimes hold church services in the old people's home."



The church member said that local leaders had threatened the church, warning them not to lodge official complaints or hire a lawyer, on pain of detention.



"So they didn't dare to hire a lawyer in the end, and the whole affair has been left unresolved," the church member said.



On Monday, authorities in the southwestern province of Guizhou also ordered local Protestant believer Yan Hengping to stop holding meetings for prayer and worship in his home town in Guizhou's Dafang county.



"We have run into problems, but it's not the whole church, just one branch of it," Yan told RFA. "It's not a large branch, just a few dozen people."



Memorial service raided



Last Saturday, police in the southwestern province of Sichuan detained a large group of Christians after they gathered for a memorial service on the 10th anniversary of the devastating 2008 earthquake.



Police raided the planned earthquake memorial service at the church in Jiangxin Mansions on Chengdu's Taisheng North Road on Saturday morning, detaining all worshipers at the venue and putting them onto two buses, church members told RFA.



The U.S. State Department hit out at the raid in a statement this week.



"We are deeply concerned by the Chinese governments reported harassment of the Early Rain Covenant Church," spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement.



"The United States government joins the people of China in mourning the loss of tens of thousands of lives in the tragedy, and notes the value of memorializing their lives and calling for full accountability to prevent or mitigate future disasters," Nauert said.



"Regarding reports that Chinese authorities confiscated bibles, we call on China to uphold its international commitments to promote respect for religious freedom for all persons."



Literature seized



Early Rain Covenant Church pastor Wang Yi, who was taken away by Qingyang district police in the provincial capital Chengdu late on Friday, told RFA that the operation was led by state security police, backed up by the local religious affairs bureau.



"It was mostly led by the state security police within the police department, but other departments were involved, including the cultural affairs bureau ... which confiscated 15,600 volumes of books and pamphlets from us," Wang said in an interview on Wednesday.



"I registered a complaint to say that the entire process was illegal, and that we wanted the publications back," he said. "They have to reply to me within seven days."



Officials who answered the phone at the cultural affairs bureau and the religious affairs bureau of the Chengdu municipal government declined to comment on the case when contacted by RFA on Wednesday.



China is home to an estimated 68 million Protestants, of whom 23 million worship in state-affiliated churches, and some nine million Catholics, 5.7 million of whom are in state-sponsored organizations.



But the ruling Chinese Communist Party, which embraces atheism, exercises tight control over any form of religious practice among its citizens.



The administration of President Xi Jinping regards Christianity as a dangerous foreign import, with officials warning against the "infiltration of Western hostile forces" in the form of religion.

The laid-off workers gathered outside the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's Beijing headquarters earlier this week, chanting, "Give us back our social security! Give us back our health insurance! These layoffs were illegal!"



Around a dozen police officers came to the scene, with scuffles recorded on video footage shown to RFA.



They detained protester Nan Wenzhi and two others at the scene.



Nan's wife told RFA on Thursday that her husband is still being held at the local police station two days later.



"I didn't know he was going to be held until ... the police called me yesterday evening and said that I should go down to the police station if I wanted to see Nan Wenzhi," she said.



"I haven't had any details yet, but he didn't seem very optimistic," she added. "They could pin a charge on him at any time."



A fellow protester surnamed Yu told RFA that Nan is currently being held on suspicion of "picking quarrels and stirring up trouble."



"Nan Wenzhi was an employee of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Hebei province," Yu said. "He was shouting slogans outside ICBC [headquarters]."



"When the police from Beijing's Dongcheng district arrived, the security guards from the Agricultural Bank of China said he wasn't one of theirs, so the police detained him for picking quarrels and stirring up trouble," he said.



"A former employee of the Agricultural Bank from Hubei province was detained at the same time, as well as one other person," he said, adding that the other two detainees were taken away because they had tried to stand up for Nan.



"They were saying that Nan Wenzhi should be part of our group, and they were just taken away, just like that," Yu said.



"Nan Wenzhi didn't do anything wrong. He was just trying to get a resolution with this issue with the banks for himself and everyone else," he said.



Petitioner strategy



The detentions come as a secret recording of a closed-doors official meeting in the northern province of Hebei, which borders Beijing, revealed the ruling Chinese Communist Party's strategy regarding petitioners: ordinary people who pursue complaints through official and judicial channels over miscarriages of justice and official wrongdoing.



Participants at a meeting of the "stability maintenance" committee of Hebei's Wu'an city, who included local law enforcement agencies, were told by Han Baokui, head of the municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, that they should "strike hard" against petitioners, who are "against the party and the government."



In the recording, Han details a number of approaches to people having the temerity to complain about the government.



"We must also resolutely pursue anyone entering Beijing with the aim of inciting petitioners," he tells the meeting. "They are opposing the party and the government. So how should we deal with them? Find the person and hit them."



It was unclear whether Han intended the word "hit" literally or metaphorically in this context, but petitioners have long complained of physical beatings at the hands of the authorities.



"And you can always make something happen to to other members [of their group] or their family members," he says. "That's a good way of dealing with it."



Han, who says he served on a party committee directing law enforcement for five years, advocates tracking people's use of the social media platform WeChat to target them.



"Discipline needs to be tight," he says. "You need to make sure that nobody is talking about this outside these operations ... which you need to be sure is being carried out very quietly."



"Anyone leaking secrets must be disciplined, either by the party or via a police investigation, and resolutely pursued."



An official who answered the phone at the Wu'an People's Political Consultative Conference declined to comment when asked to verify the recording.



"None of our leaders are here; they are in a meeting," the official said.



'Twisted logic'



But Hangzhou rights activist Li Wei, a member of the anti-corruption New Citizens' Movement who has himself been a target of the "stability maintenance" regime, said the recording was an accurate reflection of the way the system works.



"The lower ranks of police officers will take their cue from those above them, whether or not their orders are legal, and regardless of whether they infringe human rights," Li said. "There are no depths to which they will not sink."



"The stability maintenance system operates outside of the law, and things will carry on this way."



Guangzhou-based rights lawyer Sui Muqing said the recording reflected the authorities' approach to anyone trying to use China's historic "letters and visits" complaints system to highlight alleged wrongdoing.



"A lot of issues emerge from listening to this recording," Sui said. "They are using extrajudicial and illegal measures to target petitioners, such as the use of phone-taps, monitoring and house arrest at will, as well as illegally treating others as guilty by association."



"The petitioning system was created by the Chinese Communist Party, based on a complaints and injustice review procedure that dated back to imperial times," he said. "Now, they have designated petitioning as an anti-party activity."



"This is extremely twisted logic, because a dictatorial country needs to keep on creating new enemies to shore up the state machine, while draining the country and society of its resources," he said.



"But at the same time of course, they are also eating into their own legitimacy."



Petitioning ban



China's army of petitioners files thousands of complaints and grievances in person every day to offices across the country, prompting Beijing to ban petitioning to higher authorities without going through local complaints departments first.



The ban has done little to curb the sheer numbers complaining about issues ranging from the loss of farmland, forced eviction, deaths in detention and the non-payment of salaries and benefits to official abuse of power and health problems linked to pollution.



Many petitioners complain of beatings, illegal detention in "black jails," "legal study centers" or psychiatric institutions after they return home, while reports have emerged of petitioners who die en route, while in the custody of police or interceptors.



Activists and petitioners "under treatment" have been detained, tied up, beaten, forced to wear manacles and leg irons, and forcibly fed psychoactive drugs, as well as denied access to the outside and to visits from their friends and family.



Hospitals often refuse to discharge such "patients" without the agreement of law enforcement agencies, and inmates are sometimes forced to sign "guarantees" that they will drop all further action against the government before being released.

North Korea is looking forward to expanded trade and a chance of eased international sanctions in the wake of talks in April with the South Korean president and a possible meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in June, state media say.



Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the ruling Korean Workers Party, and North Koreas Chosun Central Television are eagerly trumpeting Kims great achievements, a source in North Hamgyong province told RFAs Korean Service.



However, most North Korean residents dont trust this propaganda, RFAs source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.



Propaganda about North Korea becoming a great economic power because of Kim Jong Uns brilliant strategic plan can now be heard everywhere in the media, at regional events, and in meetings, the source said.



But our citizens, who have been fooled by propaganda before, have some doubts about it.



Even if a North Korea-U.S. summit follows last months successful talks with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, very few people believe that this will open a road for us to become a great economic power, RFAs source said.



People have been fooled for so long now that whatever Kim Jong Un promises, they refuse to believe it, he said.

We do not believe him. There is no one who trusts him. Not a single person!



Conflicting messages



Also speaking to RFA, a source from Yanggang province said that the ruling partys Central Committee has recently announced a coming historic meeting between the U.S. and North Korea, calling this a major decision they have made to secure a better future for the country.



Yet people do not really care at all, he said.



While promising results from the coming summit meeting, North Korean propaganda outlets still call on North Koreas people to oppose imperialism and the United States itself, he said.



People are getting confused by these conflicting messages, and most of them are finally just indifferent.



Even the party workers are becoming confused, he said.

All five remaining witnesses for the prosecution in the case against two Reuters news agency reporters on trial in Myanmar for possessing state secrets are policemen, a defense lawyer said Thursday, raising questions as to whether the witnesses will contradict previous testimony by another officer that authorities set up the pair.

At the most recent court session on Wednesday, Police Lance Corporal Naing Lin, called by the prosecution, testified that he met the two reporters  Wa Lone, and Kyaw Soe Oo  on the night of their arrest on Dec. 12, but denied handing over classified documents to incriminate them.

The two were taken into custody on the outskirts of Yangon shortly after they had dinner with two police officers who gave them documents related to a brutal military crackdown on Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state. They were formally charged on Jan. 10 and face up to 14 years in prison if found guilty.

Naing Lins testimony contradicted that of Captain Moe Yan Naing, another witness for the prosecution, who testified in court on April 20 that Police Brigadier General Tin Ko Ko had ordered Police Sergeant Naing Lin and another officer to set up the reporters.

The day before Naing Lin took the stand, Police Chief Major General Aung Win Oo denied accusations that police had entrapped the reporters and said that the testimony to be given by the remaining witnesses would be important to the case.

Yes, it will be important because all of them are police officers, Than Zaw Aung told RFAs Myanmar Service. With the police chief saying that we should wait and see what the other witnesses will testify in future hearings, we are very interested to see and hear who will show up at court and what they will say.

The attorney went on to say that Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo met Naing Lin and another officer who gave them documents from Police Security Battalion 8, which was stationed in Rakhine state between April and November 2017.

After Moe Yan Naing testified, we knew that what the reporters told us was correct and that Police Brigadier General Tin Ko Ko had ordered their setup, Than Zaw Aung said.

One day after the police chief said to wait and see what other witnesses would testify, Naing Lin appeared in court and testified that he didnt give anything to the reporters, he said. It is very interesting to see what is behind the words of the police chief.

Because Moe Yan Naing testified that Tin Ko Ko ordered the entrapment, the court has the authority to summon the police brigadier general to testify, he added.



Myanmar Now case

Meanwhile, a court in the central Myanmar city of Mandalay on Thursday turned down a request by the editor of a domestic publication on trial for defamation to disallow video evidence against him submitted by a supporter of an extremist Buddhist monk he is accused of insulting.

Swe Win, editor-in-chief of the nonprofit independent Myanmar Now news service, is facing charges under Section 66(d) of the 2013 Telecommunications Act for allegedly defaming notorious firebrand monk Wirathu, who frequently uses hate speech targeting the countrys Muslim minority.

State prosecutor Kyaw Myo Shwe said during a hearing on Feb. 13 that he would withdraw the lawsuit against Swe Win if he apologized for sharing a Facebook post criticizing Wirathu for supporting the alleged murderer of a prominent Muslim lawyer. However, Swe Win declined the offer.

The Maha Aung Myay Township Court on Thursday rejected a request by Swe Wins lawyer Myo Min Zaw that it take action against Kyaw Myo Swe for submitting unreliable evidence in the form of a screenshot photo of his client that was published on the Burmese version of the online news service Frontier Myanmar.

When the court asked Kyaw Myo Swe to submit the original web page, he could not produce it.

The judge said the evidence submitted by the defense did not play a vital role in the lawsuit, so she rejected the complaint, Myo Min Zaw said after the hearing.

For a second time, Kyaw Myo Swe offered to drop the lawsuit if Swe Win apologized to Wirathu, but the editor refused.

Kyaw Myo Swes next hearing is scheduled for May 30.

Section 66(d) prohibits the use of the telecom network to defame people and carries a jail sentence of up to two years for those found guilty of violating it.

The controversial statute is frequently used by those in powerful positions to silence their critics.

Father Nguyen Duc Nhan and the members of Ke Gai parish under the Vinh diocese in Hung Nguyen districts Hung Tay commune submitted the letter on May 11 about fellow church member Vo Dinh Phuc, accused of illegally detaining other people.

They made the request just four days after they petitioned provincial police to take action against local officials they say ordered thugs to beat them as they tried to make improvements on disputed land claimed both by church and local authorities.

The thugs, known as "Red Flags" for the national flag emblems they wear on their shirts, attacked the parishioners on Dec. 17 as they dug an irrigation ditch on the land to prevent their fields from flooding.

The beatings, which left one parishioner unconscious, took place in front of police who did nothing to stop them, witnesses told RFA's Vietnamese Service.

The provincial police office acknowledged receipt of the complaint in a Jan. 29 letter, but instead summoned four parishioners on May 3 for questioning about their alleged involvement in the Dec. 17 incident.

The four refused to meet with police, and parishioners responded with their petition accusing authorities of trying to make the complaint disappear by threatening them.

Nghe An police sent two more summonses with a more serious but phony charge that the parishioners had illegally detained other people.

One of these notices, sent to Vo Dinh Phuc on May 9, said that he would receive notification of authorities decision on the charge.

Phuc said the accusations are inaccurate.

I am a common peasant, he told RFA. Until now, I havent had a criminal record. I am both a good citizen and a Catholic.

On that day [Dec. 17], a person was beaten unconscious, he said. I felt so upset and intervened without beating or detaining any others. Now they [the police] are accusing me of committing such an act, and it is unjustifiable.

They [the police] have not sent any more summonses, and instead are proceeding with prosecution, said Nguyen Van An, another church member who received a summons.

Citing Article 88

Responding to the trumped-up charge, the parishioners in their letter asked that they be allowed to testify on Phucs behalf based on Article 88 of Vietnams Criminal Code which says authorities proceeding with a court case are entitled to ask government services, organizations, and individuals to provide evidence to help clarify the case.

This is an act of trampling on justice that will set a dangerous precedent, Nhan told RFA. It is so difficult to live in a lawless society. Human rights, truth, and justice are trampled.

Government-supporting Red Flags groups frequently mobilize to attack Catholic priests and parishioners in Vietnam in what social media users and rights groups describe as state-sponsored abuse in the one-party communist country.

Vietnamese attorney Vo An Don told RFA that authorities routinely level ambiguous accusations such as disrupting social order, opposing enforcement officials, or abusing the rights to democracy and freedom to infringe upon the interests of the state against citizens as a pretext for suppression.

In March, U.S.-based rights group Boat People SOS urged U.S. State Department officials to voice concern over the rise in Vietnam of activist groups tied to the harassment of dissidents and religious communities, ahead of a U.S.-Vietnam human rights dialogue that will be held on May 23 in Hanoi.



Reported by RFAs Vietnamese Service. Translated by An Nguyen. Written in English by Roseanne Gerin.YEREVAN -- New Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian, brought to power by mass demonstrations, has called on Armenians who have been holding strikes and civil-disobedience protests in recent days to interrupt their protests.

Dozens of demonstrators rallied in Yerevan on May 17, demanding the resignation of Prosecutor-General Artur Davtian after a Yerevan court rejected the release of 10 members of the Sasna Tsrer group from pretrial detention.

The 10 are charged with the armed, two-week occupation of a Yerevan police station in 2016, a standoff with authorities that led to the deaths of two police officers.

The May 17 protests came after dozens of people rallied in Yerevan for days demanding the resignation of Mayor Taron Markarian, whom they accuse of corruption, misusing state funds, and illegally cutting down trees in a park in the capital.

Markarian is an ally of longtime former President Serzh Sarkisian, who stepped down as prime minister on April 23 after weeks of peaceful street protests led by Pashinian.

In a live video stream on Facebook, on May 17, Pashinian called on all citizens to stop their protests at 3 p.m. local time (1100 GMT/UTC).

"When we closed roads [during the protests in April led by Pashinian] we did so because there was no government in Armenia that enjoyed the people's trust. Today there is a government that enjoys the people's trust," Pashinian said.

Pashinian asked all those who have complaints and grievances to formulate them and present them to the government in written form.

"Confrontation between the government and society should be replaced by cooperation between the government and society," he said.

Pashinian's call came amid speculation that the protests staged by various groups demanding the resignations of local authorities, pay rises, or protesting job cuts made by the previous authorities may have been "orchestrated" by former government loyalists in order to "sabotage" the work of the Pashinian government.

However, Pashinian told RFE/RL on May 17 that he did not see any elements of "sabotage."

Talking to journalists earlier in the day, Pashinian called on the protesters "to take a break."

"We will fail if we try to solve all problems at once. It is good that citizens are using their right to freely express their grievances, but we have to understand that it is impossible to solve all the problems right away," he said.

Pashinian also said "it does not make sense at this point to demand the resignation of Markarian and Davtian."

Pashinian was voted in as prime minister of the South Caucasus country on May 8.

Opponents of Sarkisian, who had been president for 10 years and moved to the newly powerful post of prime minister in mid-April, see him as part of a long-entrenched ruling elite that is unresponsive to the interests of many Armenians.A Bosnian tycoon who leads a party in the ruling coalition has been cleared of charges he organized a criminal group and interfered in a high-profile court case in Kosovo against Balkan drug boss Naser Kelmendi.

Fahrudin Radoncic, a former owner of Bosnia's largest newspaper, Dnevni Avaz, and leader of the Union for a Better Future (SBB) party, had said the case brought against him in 2016 was "politically fabricated."

Radoncic was accused of organizing and leading a four-member group, including two other SBB officials, that intimidated witnesses in the Kelmendi case, among other alleged offenses.

All four were cleared on May 16 of charges of interfering in the drug trial of Kelmendi, a Kosovo-born ethnic Albanian with Bosnian citizenship. A Kosovo court in February jailed Kelmendi for six years for trafficking drugs.

Hasija Masovic, the chairman of the Sarajevo court council that issued the ruling on May 16, said the prosecution's case was based on "assumptions, without clear evidence." She added that the prosecutors had failed even to clearly state what the actual offenses were.

Radoncic, whose party will compete with the largest Bosniak party, the Party for Democratic Action (SDA), for Muslim Bosniak votes in October general elections, said that the defendants were "victims" of a "fabricated indictment."

"We have stated from the beginning that we were innocent," Radoncic told reporters in Sarajevo. "I am so glad that a fair court process has shown there was not a single [piece of] evidence or legal reason for us to be tried, except for the wish to politically eliminate us."

Prosecutors have not said whether they will appeal the verdict.

Based on reporting by AFP and ReutersBritish Prime Minister Theresa May pledged her commitment to helping Macedonia resolve its dispute with neighbor Greece during a visit to Skopje on May 17. May is the first U.K. prime minister to visit Macedonia in almost 20 years. Her visit followed a trip to Bulgaria for an EU-Western Balkans summit in Sofia.European Union leaders expressed determination to strengthen and intensify their ties to the Western Balkans, but they dampened any hopes of a quick move to allow any new countries into the bloc.

"The EU reaffirms its unequivocal support for the European perspective of the Western Balkans," it said in a joint declaration on May 17 after a summit in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia.

The declaration said the EU was "determined to strengthen and intensify its engagement at all levels" and vowed to "substantially" enhance "connectivity in all its dimensions: transport, energy, digital, economic, and human."

But French President Emmanuel Macron in comments to reporters stressed that much work was needed before the six Western Balkans countries that remain outside the bloc -- Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, and Kosovo -- would be ready for membership.

He said the EU "supported dialogue, a perspective, but added that he is not in favor of moving toward enlargement before we have all the required certainties and before genuine reform has been made."

The gathering marked the first EU-Western Balkans summit in 15 years and was seen by many as an effort to counter the growing political, military, and economic influence of countries such as Russia, Turkey, and China in the region.

The European Commission recently announced a strategy for the region that has a goal of offering membership to some states by 2025.

Some countries, particularly those near the region, such as Bulgaria and Croatia, favor enlargement to counter outside influences, while opponents often cite political instability, cross-border disputes, and endemic corruption among some countries as reasons to hold off.

Ahead of the summit, European Council President Donald Tusk said the region's integration into Europe must remain "a firm commitment on both sides."

"I am convinced that the EU is the only partner that cares genuinely about the stability of the entire region and a prosperous future for its peoples -- as opposed to treating it as a geopolitical game of chess, in which the people are pawns," he wrote in a letter to regional leaders.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said at the summit it was in the interest of peace and security for all of us that we have a secure Western Balkans region that is developing well economically."

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said it was important to keep communications open with countries of the region.

"The summit may be a symbolic act, but it can again trigger a little more dynamism," he said. "If there is no European perspective in the Balkans, then the Turkish influence and other influence becomes stronger and stronger. We don't want that to happen."

One regional dispute has stymied members for decades: the dispute between Macedonia and EU member Greece over Macedonias name.

Greece has for years blocked Macedonia's efforts to join the EU and NATO, arguing that its name implies a claim on the Greek province of Macedonia.

Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev said on May 17 that an agreement between the two countries could be finalized before an EU summit in June.

However, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said after the summit that the two countries were "not in a position yet" to announce a deal.

"I believe we have covered a major part of the distance, but there is still distance to cover," Tsipras told a press conference.

Meanwhile, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy stayed away from the summit in protest of his country's opposition to Kosovo's independence from Serbia, which has not been recognized by Belgrade.

The EU has told Serbia and Kosovo that it must settle their differences before either can be admitted to the bloc.

With reporting by dpa, AFP, and ReutersThe European Union says it will launch this week the process of activating a regulation to soften the impact of U.S. sanctions on European firms doing business in Iran.

The May 17 announcement comes after President Donald Trump said last week that the United States would abandon the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers and reimpose sanctions lifted as part of the deal -- despite the European powers' sustained efforts to convince Washington to continue to adhere to it.

The U.S. Treasury Department has put European businesses on notice that they have 90 days to wrap up most business with Iran before the renewed U.S. sanctions take effect.

Speaking after a meeting of EU leaders in Sofia, Bulgaria, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told a news conference that the EU will launch on May 18 the process of activating its so-called blocking statute.

We have to protect our companies. We have to protect mainly those who bona fide -- mainly small and medium-sized enterprises -- did invest in Iran, and we cannot leave them alone, he said.

The blocking regulation, which was originally crafted in 1996 in response to U.S. sanctions against Cuba, makes it illegal for EU companies to comply with laws with extraterritorial application.

Juncker said the EU leaders also decided to allow the European Investment Bank to facilitate European companies' investment in Iran and added that the European Commission itself will maintain its cooperation with the country.

The EU hopes Tehran will continue to comply with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreed by Iran and six world powers -- the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and China. The agreement obliged Tehran to curb its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

But Trump pulled out on May 8, claiming that Iran had violated the spirit of the deal by financing militant violence in the Middle East and by continuing to test ballistic missiles.

European Council President Donald Tusk said the European Unions leaders agreed unanimously to stick to the Iran deal as long as Iran remains fully committed to it.

Earlier in the day in Sofia, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said EU countries were aware that the 2015 nuclear agreement is "not perfect," but said it should be preserved.

"We should remain in this agreement and conduct further negotiations with Iran on the basis of other issues, such as the ballistic-missile program," Merkel said.

Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron said that European companies should continue to have the freedom to do business with Iran.

"International companies with interests in many countries make their own choices according to their own interests. They should continue to have this freedom," Macron said on arriving in the Bulgarian capital.

He was speaking after the world's largest container shipping firm, A.P. Moller-Maersk, and the French oil giant Total announced they were withdrawing from Iran to observe the newly reimposed U.S. sanctions.

Total said it will pull out of a billion-dollar project to develop Iran's huge South Pars natural-gas field by November 4 unless it can secure an exemption from the renewed sanctions imposed as a result of Trump's decision.

Total was the first major European company to resume business in Iran after sanctions were lifted in 2016 in exchange for curbs on Iran's nuclear activities.

Tehran has repeatedly hailed the Total project as a symbol of the nuclear accord's success at helping to revive and modernize Iran's critical oil and gas industry, which drives the country's economic growth and generates much of the government's revenues.

The U.S. Treasury Department gave foreign companies notice last week that they have three to six months to "wind down" their business with Tehran before they face possible penalties for violating U.S. sanctions.

The United States in the past has fined European and Asian banks and businesses billions of dollars for violating its sanctions. It most recently imposed such stiff penalties on China's ZTE technology giant that the firm has said it will be forced to go out of business unless it gets a reprieve.

The U.S. sanctions essentially force most global companies to give up doing business in Iran if they want to continue operating in the United States.

Germany's Allianz, an insurance giant with a major presence in the United States, said it intends to wind down what it called its "totally minimal" business in Iran.

Iran has called on European leaders to provide "guarantees" that the economic benefits from the deal will continue to flow, warning that it may start enriching uranium again if it no longer stands to gain economically from continuing to honor the nuclear deal.

With reporting by dpa, AFP, and ReutersThe U.S. Senate has approved Gina Haspel to be director of the CIA, despite her role in the spy agency's past use of brutal interrogation techniques.

The 54-45 vote split both parties, with six Democrats joining most Republicans in support of Haspels nomination in the 100-member chamber.

A 33-year veteran of the CIA, Haspel will be the first woman to lead the agency
