Former LA Dodgers owner McCourt to buy Marseille

www.dailystar.com.lb

RMC Sport reported that the club had been sold for 40 million euros ($44.68 million). Louis-Dreyfus took control of Marseille after the death of her husband Robert in 2009 but despite investing tens of millions of euros in recent years they have struggled and finished 13th in Ligue 1 last season. She said she would keep 5 percent of the club as part of the deal. Marseille, who have French football's biggest fan base, won the last of their nine league titles in 2010 . McCourt, who sold the Dodgers in 2012 for $2 billion, said he aimed to bring his experience in sport ownership to turn OM's fortunes around. ...

Conspiracies of form and figure

www.dailystar.com.lb

In the case of Mazen Khaddaj's "Emotion in Motion," an exhibition of canvases and video from 2015-16 now up at Artspace Hamra, it is the spectators who are under scrutiny. The canvases lining the gallery walls are preoccupied by depictions of ligaments, joints, and angular forms – translucent, distorted and abstract. With its bright red and subtle yellow hues set upon a black background, "Trapped," 2015, on the other hand, suggests a disturbing image of a skeletal corpse locked in a box and twisted into unnatural positions. A video installation called "The Eye" allows viewers to witness scenes of movement and action, performed on the floor of Khaddaj's studio with his colleague Andrea Garcia – with the camera situated directly above the performers. The figures are formed and reconstructed by human interaction. There is a point of intersection between the videos and the canvases. Khaddaj described how one art of expression ends and another picks up. Mazen Khaddaj's "Emotion in Motion" is up at Artspace Hamra through 18 September. ...

UK labour market shows little sign of immediate Brexit hit

www.dailystar.com.lb

The number of people claiming unemployment benefit in Britain unexpectedly fell in July despite the shock decision by voters to leave the European Union, suggesting little immediate impact from Brexit on the labour market. The figures represented the first official measure of the labour market since the June 23 vote. The July claimant count figure was measured on July 14, three weeks after the referendum, meaning it might not reflect the full extent of any post-Brexit fall in hiring. There was another sign Wednesday that the immediate economic impact of the Brexit vote would not be as bad as some had feared. Britain's unemployment rate held steady in the three months to June at 4.9 percent, as expected in the Reuters poll. ...

Former Obama aide calls Trump a psychopath

www.dailystar.com.lb

A former top adviser to President Barack Obama Sunday labeled Donald Trump a "psychopath," saying the Republican presidential nominee met the clinical definition of the personality disorder. With a little more than two months to go before the Nov. 8 U.S. election, the comments by David Plouffe, a former senior adviser to Obama and manager of his 2008 presidential campaign, mark another escalation in a series of blows exchanged between Trump's camp and that of his Democrat rival Hillary Clinton. ...

Turkey takes aim at bank inspectors

www.dailystar.com.lb

Turkish authorities detained dozens of bank inspectors and academics Friday and the government vowed to cut off financing to companies suspected of having ties to last month's failed coup. Turkey has detained some 40,000 people in its investigation into the July 15 attempted putsch, which it says was orchestrated by U.S.-based Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen. Authorities also detained dozens of academics and issued a total 145 arrest warrants for university staff in operations focused on Istanbul University and Konya in central Turkey, Anadolu said. Prosecutors in Konya issued arrest warrants for 83 academics, of which 29 have so far been detained in an operation stretching across 17 provinces, the agency said. ...

Australian aid worker kidnapped in Afghanistan freed

www.lhrtimes.com

Australian aid worker kidnapped in Afghanistan freed After four months spent in captivity following her kidnapping in Afghanistan, Australian aid worker Kerry Jane Wilson has been freed. Officials said Monday that Ms. Wilson was freed by Afghan forces in a special operation in eastern Afghanistan. At least three suspects have been arrested, though authorities did not say who was responsible for the abduction. She was taken in April by two armed men from her office in the eastern city of Jalalabad. Wilson, who is in her sixties, has lived and worked in Afghanistan for about 20 years. Most recently, she’s run Zardozi, a nongovernmental organization that helps impoverished Afghan women start their own businesses by selling items that they sew. Working in Kabul and three other Afghan cities – Mazar, Jalalabad, and Herat – Zardozi offers women training on topics such as design, quality assurance, pricing, leadership skills, and business planning. The organization – which is funded by the Dutch nonprofit group Oxfam Novib and the governments of Britain and Sweden – then connects the women with shopkeepers who buy their shirts, pants, pillowcases, and the like. Sometimes the organization offers the women small loans, as little as $100, to help them expand their fledgling businesses. In return, the women pay a membership fee of just $1 per month. In an interview with the Monitor at the time, Wilson compared the women she works with to “prisoners who have just gotten out of jail,” explaining that many are illiterate and have difficulty performing day-to-day tasks such as conversing with shopkeepers or navigating around their home city. A former colleague of Wilson’s told CNN that there had been “frantic worry” since Wilson was abducted in April, adding, “To hear the news this morning of her release and that she is safe and well is indescribable.” “I hope she returns to her family as soon as possible for much needed recuperation from her ordeal, and I also hope that she will consider returning to Afghanistan to continue her amazing work,” the former-colleague said. “She is vital to the future of Afghanistan.” MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Sorry Sunil, the delay was not intentional, says Fort Lauderdale security head

www.lhrtimes.com

Sorry Sunil, the delay was not intentional, says Fort Lauderdale security head MUMBAI: It is not the first instance when Sunil Gavaskar was denied “easy entry” at the cricket stadium. The Little Master had surrendered his Life Membership when the stewards didn’t allow him through Grace Gates at Lord’s in 1990. But only at the insistence from the late president Michael Colin Cowdrey (MCC) several years later, Gavaskar had decided to take up the membership again. Luckily, the issue didn’t go “out of hands” when the 67-year-old SMG’s entry was delayed (not detained) during one of the two T-20 matches against West Indies last week. “The delay was not intentional, it was a matter of verifying the credentials to enter the gate, Mr. Gavasakar was stopped by the (inner) security firm operating the gates”, Captain Andrew Dunbar, who headed the security operations at the facility for both the teams, said exclusively over his mobile from USA. “On behalf of everyone involved, I do apologize for Mr. Gavasakar getting delayed at the gate”. The Jamaica-born Captain Dunbar has seen several matches at the Sabina Park. However, has not watched him play. “I did not have the privilege to see Mr. Gavasakar play”, he further added. “If I had a chance to interact with Mr. Gavasakar, I would certainly enjoy talking about cricket in general with him”, the cricket-fan Dunbar added. Team India’s debut at the Florida fetched many fans but they were controllable. “It (controlling them) was not difficult at all, the India fans were great, and easy to interact with. Both teams impressed me, as a cricket fan. I was impressed by the support of India fans, even though it was very short notice to the play in Broward County”, he signed off. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

America's war of ideas

www.lhrtimes.com

America’s war of ideas America has an overwhelming presence in the international system, is a state responsible for global peace and security, a state is known to be a prospered democracy and a state recognized as a super power, but when a Muslim is asked about how he sees the America’s role in the world the answer is not very positive. After the Great War, during the era of cold war, America had managed to build cordial relations in the Muslim world. There existed a comparative harmony between the west and the east; it was mostly because American public diplomacy was effectively fashioning the public opinion that was in the favour of America. Post 9/11 the American policy of non-intervention shifted to the policy of intervention and the American public relation activities got stalled. At the same time, Bush administration waged a War against Terrorism and steered the operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Since then the America has failed in its war of ideas. Therefore, the reason behind the rise of Anti-Americanism in the Muslim world is the limited approach to public diplomacy. These two major operations were somehow more targeted towards the Muslim Integrity than it was War against Terrorism. The questions that rise are first, where have the American Public diplomacy failed? Second, Does American approach to post 9/11 policies more Islam-centric? Third, were the nation branding efforts by America justified? And lastly, do the Americans ever consider why the Muslims have Anti-American sentiments? When the Bush administration launched the War against Terrorism, a lead instrument in the battle for hearts and minds was Public Diplomacy, but it was second to the military offensive. Though the concept regarding Public Diplomacy that prevailed was explained by Lee Hamilton, co-chair of the influential 9/11 Commission, “Public diplomacy is how we stop them from coming here to kill us.”America adopted the two-prong objective of U.S. public diplomacy that required promoting the values of hope and freedom while demoting and isolating the extremist message of hate and fear, but this policy was applied in a way that created an image of Muslim in the western world that was not pleasant. Muslims were now being perceived as the terrorist and then they started to have Anti-American sentiments. Despite the efforts made by Bush administration, the American Public diplomacy failed to communicate with the Muslim world. These failures were the lessons for current Obama regime; it is said that Obama’s administration was a game changer in the Muslim world. In his inaugural address, he spoke openly to the Muslim world stating “mutual interest and mutual respect.” It was during his regime that gave rise to the idea that every Muslim is not a terrorist, and every American is not anti-Muslim. Still the American media is stereotyping the Muslims in their dramas, movies and more recently election camping. This is where the American public diplomacy fails again. In movies like GI Joe: Retaliation (2013), Iron Man 3, Dear John, etc. TV series like Home Land they have presented the American soldiers as the victims and created the perception that Muslims around the world support terrorism. Constructing the medium that is one way, the Americans do not get the opportunity to listen to the others side, however creating the perception that has damaged the public relations in the Muslim world. Therefore, another reason that America is always failing in their public diplomacy is that their local public is not willing to see the Muslims as the normal peace loving people, which in turn has concreted the Anti-Americanism in the hearts of the Muslims. Somehow if we compare the previous Bush regime and the current Obama regime, the latter has been successful in maintaining the peaceful relations. Muslims had started to have some faith in the American policies, Obama’s constant support towards the Arab world, interest in Pakistan and declaring terrorist with no religion were some of the steps towards the new beginnings. But the recent election camping’s done by the Donald Trump are weakening the trust that was build. A recent statement by the American presidential candidate, Donald Trump, has again created doubt in the minds of the Muslim world. The open hate speech against the Muslims is making America lose its legitimacy and respect. Since the 9/11 Muslims have been the open target in the name of extremism and unjustly judged by the American population. In order to eliminate fear and panic from their country, they have distorted the image of Muslims among their own population. At this moment what America need is not to pick a fight with the whole civilization, it is the state of opportunities, and Muslim world has the talent. What America need is to rebrand itself and educate their population about the Muslim community by creating the scenarios where the two can meet and talk. The two-way communication is essential at this moment because the Muslim world is not being heard and they need the voice to their opinions. The anti-American sentiments are rising, and Muslims are wrongfully being accused of the extremist activities. Right now the global peace and security is at stake and instead of solving this problem America is busy playing the blame game, thus igniting the situations to its worst. The pigeon-holing done by the America has created the wall between east and west, a wall that is not of bricks but of minds and hearts and once this wall is well-founded, it’s difficult to break it down. America may be able to win back its legitimacy of being a superpower, but they may not be able to reclaim the hearts and minds of the Muslims with their current policies. America is said to be a great nation but the battle of strength cannot be won without the battle of ideas, and this is where Americans lack efficiency. Any religion or state do not support terrorism, and America needs to recognize this. They have to change their approach of either you are with us or against us, to a neutral one. They have to fight the terrorism, not the states that have fall victim to menace. The writer is a student of BDDS at Fatimah Jinnah Women University. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

US Condemns Clashes in Syria Between Turkish and US-Allied Kurdish Forces

www.lhrtimes.com

The United States said Monday clashes in Syria between Turkish forces and units affiliated with a U.S.-supported Kurdish-led alliance are not acceptable and is calling on all sides to stand down. “We call on all armed actors to stand down… the U.S. is actively engaged to facilitate such de-confliction and unity of focus on ISIL, which remains a lethal and common threat,” Brett McGurk, the U.S. envoy for the coalition to counter Islamic State (IS) said on Twitter. “We want to make clear that we find these clashes — in areas where ISIL is not located — unacceptable and a source of deep concern.” McGurk said the Pentagon has condemned the fighting south of the Syrian town of Jarablus and said U.S. forces were not involved in the clashes.

Indian female cricketers congratulate Olympic medal winners

www.lhrtimes.com

Indian female cricketers congratulate Olympic medal winners MUMBAI: Mithali Raj, the captain of the India’s women team, has been following the Rio Olympic matches and the performance of the Indian players, particularly the women players. Speaking exclusively over her mobile, she said, “I am proud of the women players who have brought glory to the nation and also all those players who have represented our country in this Olympics this year.” “Every player and their life-story should be celebrated irrespective of the medals they won or not…simply for their sheer participation at the biggest stage and the preservance in fighting the odds to reach at this level.” Mithali Raj did not respond to the performance of the former South African women team all-rounder Sunnette Viljoen, who, at the age of 33, won the silver medal in the women’s javelin final. Raj was a member of the Indian cricket team when the South African played the only Test against India (at Paarl in 2002). Sunnette Viljoen’s wicket in both the innings was taken by Indore’s Bindeshwari Goyal. Speaking exclusively, she said, “I never thought Sunnette would leave the game of cricket and play other sport.” “I am sure she must have worked really very hard to reach at this level.” “I feel extremely proud and congratulate Sunnette on grabbing the silver medal.” “I feel proud that the girl, who was the victim in both the innings is an Olympic medal winner.” MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Rural to urban areas: Migration increases with drop in agri-income levels

www.lhrtimes.com

Rural to urban areas: Migration increases with drop in agri-income levels KARACHI: Pakistan Economic Survey 2015-16 reported a negative growth of 0.19% for the agricultural sector, mainly driven by the fall in crop production, particularly cotton. The negative growth was last observed in 2000-01. This trend is likely to have a ripple effect on the economy. According to statistics of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the total crop production in rupee terms has fallen from Rs2.7 trillion in FY15 to Rs2.6 trillion in FY16. According to the World Development Indicators, a growth of more than 10% in value addition in the agricultural sector was last reported in 1996. It has not exceeded 6% since then. The agricultural sector contributes approximately 20% to the gross domestic product of Pakistan, employs 42% of the workforce and is a major source of revenue for the rural population. More than 65% of the population of Pakistan resides in rural areas and relies on the production of crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry as their main source of income. A significant proportion of agricultural land is owned by a small percentage of landowners, who are mostly absentee landlords living in urban areas. Notwithstanding a large rural population, which is likely to be either reluctant or unable to migrate, the relatively mobile rural workers may migrate to urban areas given the change in their economic and social conditions. Although there are several reasons for rural-to-urban migration, ranging from family relocation to employment opportunities, migrants are attracted to the benefits of living in the urban areas. The appeal increases as the agricultural income level declines. Weak commodity prices Global prices of agricultural commodities are on a declining trend since the peak in 2011. The IMF, in its World Economic Outlook, suggests that this trend is likely to continue for the next few years. The increasing use of synthetic substitutes in industries and higher yield seeds globally are likely to aggravate the impact of lower commodity prices on the agricultural sector in Pakistan. According to the World Development Indicators, the urban population growth in Pakistan in 2015 is 3.3%, greater than the average of 2.7% for the South Asian region. In comparison, the rural population growth in Pakistan is 1.4%. Considering the labour force statistics (2013-14) published by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (pbs), 13% of the population above the age of 10 years in Pakistan has migrated once in their lifetime. Labour force participation is higher in rural areas than in urban areas but unemployment rates are higher in the urban areas. Even as migrants may face risks and uncertainties in working in the urban areas, higher expected wages and better living conditions are likely to attract them. According to the Karachi Master Plan shared by the Urban Resource Centre, the population of Karachi is likely to increase to 27.5 million in 2020 and to 37 million in 2030. The population census in 1998 reported 9.9 million residents in Karachi. The population of the city is projected to increase almost four times in 32 years and rural-to-urban migration is an important contributing factor. As a large number of migrants are likely to be younger unskilled workers, the labour-intensive large-scale industrial manufacturers are likely to be the primary choice for employment. The alternative to such employment is the informal sector, which includes but is not limited to domestic workers, street vendors and other auxiliary services. Such services are likely to be unregulated and involve uncertainties and risks, such as higher turnover rates, lower wages and poorer working conditions than those observed in the formal sectors. However, some migrants may remain unemployed and engage in illegal activities that are not conducive for the economic and social environment. Industrial development in the urban areas is crucial to support the increasing rural-to-urban migration. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

UnIndian' is the quintessential film for expats

www.lhrtimes.com

UnIndian’ is the quintessential film for expats Anupam Sharma’s UnIndian is the quintessential film for Indian expats – full of great locations, pretty houses and a thousand clichés about Indians and their ways. Set in Australia, but mostly among the Indian community there, the film is a somewhat clunky effort at a cross-cultural romance, with a predictable conflict and resolution. Will (cricketer Brett Lee) teaches Australian English at a university and is in a bit of a funk when he meets Meera (Tannishtha Chatterjee), a working single mother whose pushy parents want her to get married again.

Six scientists about to wrap up yearlong Mars simulation in Hawaii

www.lhrtimes.com

Six scientists about to wrap up yearlong Mars simulation in Hawaii Mars is very inhospitable and to experience the merciless atmosphere of the Red planet six scientists ( three male and three female) have been living in complete isolation from the outside world on a Hawaii mountain since August last year. On 28th August, they are about to end this yearlong intense Mars simulation mission. The six experts are living in dome-shaped house situated at about 8,200 feet above the sea level and can go outside only in space suits. They are provided with very limited resources, little communication and zero access to fresh produce. Any outside communication is delayed by 20 minutes, the length it would take to rely messages on Mars. The place is perfect for studying the conditions for Mars because the landscape is almost similar to the Martian soil, with hardly any vegetation to be found. Kim Binsted, principal investigator for the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (Hi-Seas), said this simulation was the second-longest of its kind after a mission that lasted 520 days in Russia, according to The Guardian. The expert team, funded by NASA through the University of Hawaii, is testing on how human would be able to survive on Mars-like conditions. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Scorching heat, Ramadan and Pakistani minorities

www.lhrtimes.com

Scorching heat, Ramadan and Pakistani minorities ISLAMABAD: The Islamic Republic of Pakistan, a Muslim-dominated country, where, it is imposed to respect Islam, and if anyone talk about its force imposition, it can be considered as blasphemy. Minorities of the country are already living under the 24/7 threats and being dealt as second class citizen. Many people are being indulged in blasphemy laws and thousands have been facing such an insulting environment that made their life hell. Discrimination and hate are daily routine matters, at the work place, public place, eating place and other areas. Though protection is given in the constitutions but ground realities are different. This evening, when every Muslim was greeting each others for the blessings of Ramadan, I was thinking about the minorities of Pakistan because willing or unwillingly, minorities’ living in Pakistan have to fast with their fellow Muslims, means law of the country force everyone to go hungry during the month of Ramadan. In Pakistan, it is unlawful to drink, eat or smoke in public places during Ramadan. You can be sent to jail, heavily fined or may even be beaten by vigilantes. Its peak heat wave in Pakistan during June, with temperatures rises in the different regions routinely around 40 and above degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) and days at their longest of the year, governments are trying to alleviate the hardships of the month long sunrise-to-sunrise fast. Last year, a brutal heat wave killed dozens of people in Pakistan. Many of them died of dehydration while fasting in sweltering temperatures. Even then the respect of Ramadan is mandatory for all citizens of Pakistan. During the military dictator, Zia ul Haq Ehtiram-e-Ramadan (Respect of Ramadan) bill was imposed that prescribes punishments of up to three months in jail and a fine for people who drink or eat publicly. According to the tenets of Islam, is under an obligation to fast shall not eat, drink or smoke in a public place during fasting hours in the month of Ramadan, the law says. Nearly every restaurant is closed from dawn to dusk, and shopkeeper can only sell take-away food items. And if you are hungry or thirsty the only place for you is home. At offices, public and private places are not allowed to eat. Basharat Khokher, the social activist, said that the law is inhuman and violates the fundamental human rights. Those who want to fast have the right to do so, but those who don’t want to fast have equal rights. I am religious and respect Ramadan, but it also is not intended to make you sick or put you in danger. Sometimes it’s so hot, that we can’t touch the metal poles on the scaffolding without gloves. A laborer cannot work in these conditions without water, he added. “We cannot allow the liberal people to secularize our country, our society,” said Omar Bhatti, a student of Islamic research. “The respect of Ramadan is mandatory for all citizens of Pakistan. There can’t be any compromise on it.” As for religious minorities; they live in an Islamic country and must have to obey its rules.” Those who do not fast should behave as if they are fasting, Qari Abdul Qadir, a cleric, said. “Non-Muslims and elderly or sick Muslims can eat but they should show respect for fasting Muslims and avoid eating or drinking openly, have,” he said. With the growth of Islamic outfits such as Taliban and it’s representation in the region, situation have become worse in the past years. Religious extremism and intolerance are on the rise in this region. Now even hospital cafeterias and bus stands don’t serve food during Ramadan. And if someone found around eating or drinking might accuse of blasphemy. Maryam Khushi, a beautician, said forget about Ramadan, I have to be careful about what I do in public throughout the year. What I say, what I wear. People become more pious during Ramadan, and I have to be more careful, she added. Ramzan Qadir, a liberal Muslim in Islamabad, said respect needs to be a two-way street. “If the religious people can’t respect my rights, I am not ready to respect theirs. It is simple as that he told. “And when these people go to Europe and the US, they insist on their rights. They protest against veil ban in France, but they don’t allow Christians in Pakistan to live freely. I found it hypocritical. The tiny liberal community in the country is not powerful enough to challenge the Islamic laws. Occasionally observed, it is not just involving Ramadan, fanatic Muslims have taken the law into their hands and had punished Christians and Hindus for a perceived lack of respect for Islam. In either case, minorities of Pakistan have to respect Ramadan. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Is "Qingzhen" diplomacy faux friendship?

www.lhrtimes.com

Is “Qingzhen” diplomacy faux friendship? When William Deresiewicz wrote his famous essay “Faux Friendships” in 2009, he could not have imagined its kinship to international relations. “Faux Friendship” was a bitter philosophical treatise swerving between Horatio and Facebook. China-Pakistan friendship has been hailed as ‘Higher than Himalayas and Deeper than Seas’. The former communist country has the lion share of arms exports to Pakistan. Pakistan had severed ties with Taiwan and acknowledged China soon after its independence proclamation. We share world’s highest Khunjerab border in Gilgit-Baltistan region also the highest point on miraculous Karakoram Highway built by the help of Chinese. Pakistan supports Chinese right of the accession of Tibet against India and parts of Kashmir. China has always sided with Pakistan on Kashmir. The diplomatic pressure of mighty Chinese on India stands tall with its historic triumph over India in Sino-Indian War in 1962. With increasing tensions in US-Pak relationship embittered by recent refusal of F-16 subsidy to Pakistan, the relationship with neighbouring China has become pivotal. Recent Alliance between India, Afghanistan and Iran on Chabahar Port rivaling Pakistani Gwadar Port has painted the new mural of changing the great game, this time with new players. It seems like Pacific war theatre of WW2 is not as pacifist as it remained after the great devastation. With recent trade embargo on Vietnam removed it is reaching out to the US for arms purchase. Whitehouse’s remarks on the South China Sea and Chinese activity in her islands were not overlooked by Beijing. Chinese Spokeswomen took the pains to announce Chinese resentment to the world on the issue. A part of it highlighted how China resolved its border issues with its 14 neighbours in a peaceful manner. Since the Pearl Harbor Japanese have been on the American side on literally every international dispute. Russia’s recent altercations with Turkey and stance on Syria have alienated it to the most Muslim world. Unlike the good old times before the iron curtain, Russian axis with central Asian countries in the northwest is no more there. The US have gained its sympathies and seems like Russia is being isolated in the region also. This means the rift between socialist friends Mao and Stalin will continue to haunt or at least limit China and Russia in international comity of nations. Although this quid pro quo diplomacy has brought countries together with numerous social, economic and geographic perks, is this friendship for real? What is in it for Pakistan is the question that hogs many analysts and economists today. Is godless China on its way to Secular Democracy or Pakistan has become an important pawn, an inconvenient truth? Nawaz Sharif cannot afford to be next Jamal Abdul Nasser, who fell out of American good books by siding with USSR. With recent Panama Leaks and involvement of the Prime Minister’s family, his position has weakened both in Pakistan and around the Globe. Amidst power games, figuring out Chinese mindset is of critical importance. In November 2015 China and Pakistan signed a 43-year lease of a huge area in Balochistan. An astronomical sum of $46 billion dollars will go into the development of the area with tax-free prerogatives. At home, The Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region assessed halal food sales in the area to be worth $1.5 billion dollars. The Chinese word for halal is Qiang Zhen. Chinese export of halal food to Malaysia, UAE, Egypt and Qatar has gone up to $1 million dollars. With the Muslim countries newly in its business contact list, has China become a real friend of Islam? In 2005, Human Rights Watch published a comprehensive report on human rights abuse in Chinese Xinjiang province, home to eight million Uighur Muslims. With the enormous increase in halal food exports, food in China for Muslims remains unprocessed. Huge scandal jolted the newspapers in which Halal Industry Development Research Center at Ningxia University found out that Pork was being used in making Halal food at the production facilities. It led to vehement protests against the government. Legally speaking article 36 in the constitution of People’s Republic of China ensures ‘Freedom of Religious Belief’ of people. Factually, Wang Zhengwei, a Chinese Hui Muslim, was removed from his post for his views on halal food and campaigning on reforms that would ameliorate the situations for Chinese Muslims in PRC. All this leads one to question the divisive dichotomy of the local and international policy of China towards Muslims. Neo-liberal economists and policy experts seem to have troubles with predicting Chinese future in international trade. Dani Rodik a senior professor of Political Economy at Kennedy School of Government calls the US-China trade relationship as a match made in heaven that has led to blow-up in the hindsight. The outlook does not seem promising at least theoretically. Given the volatile political economy of Pakistan combined with gloomy predictions of economists over Chinese economic future, will Pakistan be able to reap the benefits of CPEC when the lease ends or at any time until then? The question remains unanswered amidst political horse trading, diplomatic wars, and media trials. The writer can be reached at minhaaj@gmail.com. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Pakistan dominate World Youth Scrabble Championship

www.lhrtimes.com

Pakistan dominate World Youth Scrabble Championship KARACHI: Pakistani players were off to a rollicking start at the 11th World Youth Scrabble Championship which began at Lille, France, on Saturday. According to information made available here, 10-year-old debutant Imaad Ali was surprisingly the early leader winning his first two matches by huge margins to climb to the No 1 spot. Imaad lost his No 1 spot to the former world youth champion Jack Durand but another pre-teen Pakistani Hasham Hadi snatched the No 1 spot two matches later. At the end of day one, 11-year-old Hasham was at second spot with seven wins out of eight with a spread of 644, his only defeat coming at the hands of compatriot Daniyal Sanaullah. Daniyal was at third spot with seven wins and a spread of 602. Sorawit Chucharoen of Thailand is the only unbeaten player so far. Abbas Ali of Pakistan was at ninth position. Pakistan was the only team with six players in the top 16 at the end of day one. Nine-year-old Saim Usmani won four of his eight matches to top the under-10 age category. Pakistan is currently No 1, followed by Sri Lanka and Thailand. Pakistan’s Abdullah Abbasi won six of his eight matches and was 13th. The championship ends on Monday (today). MORE FROM THIS SECTION

South Africa quicks wrap up New Zealand for 214

www.lhrtimes.com

South Africa quicks wrap up New Zealand for 214 South Africa’s seamers made light work of New Zealand’s middle and lower order to bowl them out for 214, earning a lead of 267 on the third day in Centurion. Resuming on his overnight score of 15, Kane Williamson batted diligently to score 77, his first Test fifty in South Africa, but did not find an ally till Neil Wagner contributed a quick 30-ball 31 at No. 10. South Africa did not enforce the follow-on as early tea was taken. Williamson displayed exemplary technique – head over the ball, soft hands at point of contact and bat near the pad – to quell Dale Steyn, Kagiso Rabada and Vernon Philander, all of whom got the ball to move both ways through the day. Williamson repeatedly left deliveries on a testing line outside off stump, forcing the quicks straighter and then picking them off through midwicket – his modus operandi for most of his innings. South Africa didn’t waver from their plan to Henry Nicholls, though. Despite looking awkward while fending or avoiding the bouncers, Nicholls seemed largely untroubled against the ensuing full deliveries until he missed a drive off Rabada. Umpire Paul Reiffel adjudged Nicholls to be not out but Faf du Plessis immediately asked for a review. Hawkeye indicated that the ball had pitched in line and would have hit middle stump. After a couple of experimental overs, the offspinner Dane Piedt quickly gave way to the seamers after Nicholls’ dismissal. The short-pitched plan continued with a leg gully and short leg in place, particularly for Steyn who employed that length for most of the morning. Williamson and BJ Watling, two of New Zealand’s better-equipped batsmen to tackle the bouncer, ducked or swayed out of the line. Steyn persevered and reaped reward when a well-directed short delivery had Watling fending off his ribs, the ball grazing his glove on the way to wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock. Umpire Ian Gould said not out, but du Plessis asked for the review again. A thin spike on the Snickometer resulted in South Africa’s second wicket of the day, via their second successful review. After the lunch break, Doug Bracewell played a few delightful drives and flicks but missed a straight delivery from Rabada, which trapped him in front for 18. Tim Southee’s brief stay brought plenty of exuberance and movement around the crease but he usually got in line to keep out Rabada’s short-pitched barrage. Ironically, it was Piedt’s offspin that accounted for Southee, who edged a slider to de Kock. Williamson was quickly running out of partners. Rabada, regularly clocking 150 kmph, dished out well-directed bouncers to Wagner, one of which took the edge of his bat and lobbed to second slip via his shoulder. However, replays indicated Rabada had overstepped. Thereafter, Wagner changed tack from wearing blows to all-out attack. Wagner heaved three fours and a six in the space of five Steyn deliveries to hurry New Zealand past 200. He continued to receive bouncers and a few words from Steyn but did not bail out of pulling. Eventually, one took his leading edge on the way to de Kock and Steyn duly directed Wagner back to the dressing room. In the next over, Williamson fell in the same fashion as Wagner did: top-edging a short-length delivery while trying to pull. After a few seconds of chaos when everyone stood waiting for a decision, umpire Paul Reiffel walked up to Williamson, had a word with him, and gave him out. The players trotted off the field, the South Africa openers Stephen Cook and de Kock faster than the others. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Scientists discover T-Rex fossil with well-preserved skull in Montana

www.lhrtimes.com

Scientists discover T-Rex fossil with well-preserved skull in Montana Paleontologists with Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture and the University of Washington have unearthed a rare four-foot long skull of a Tyrannosaurus rex (T. Rex) in Montana. The massive skull is protected in a big plaster case to keep it safe. This is the first time a near-complete skull of T Rex is ever found. This remarkable discovery was made during an expedition to the Hell Creek Formation in the US — an area that is world-famous for its fossil dinosaur sites. The fossil, which the paleontologists estimate to be about 20 per cent of the now-extinct animal, includes vertebrae, ribs, hips and lower jaw bones. The T. Rex found by a team of paleontologists with the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture and the University of Washington is nicknamed the “Tufts-Love Rex” in honour of the two volunteers who discovered it — Jason Love and Luke Tufts. “Having seen the ‘Tufts-Love Rex’ during its excavation, I can attest to the fact that it is definitely one of the most significant specimens yet found,” said Burke Museum research associate Jack Horner. “Because of its size, it is sure to yield important information about the growth and possible eating habits of these magnificent animals,” Horner noted. The bones’ large size and honeycomb-like structure indicated they belonged to a carnivorous dinosaur. Upon further excavation, the team, led by University of Washington Biology Professor Gregory Wilson, discovered the T. Rex skull along with ribs, vertebrae, and parts of the jaw and pelvis. The skull weighs about 1,134 kg in its protective plaster jacket. Excavation in the field revealed the right side of the skull from base to snout, including teeth. The paleontologists believe it is very probable the other side of the skull is present, but will need to carefully remove the rock surrounding the fossil before they can determine its completeness. T. Rex was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs to ever roam the Earth. Measuring an average of 40-feet long and 15 to 20-feet tall, T. Rex was a fierce predator with serrated teeth and large jaws. Fossil evidence shows it ate other dinosaurs like Edmontosaurus and Triceratops, with crushed bones from the animals even showing up in its fossilized poop. T. Rex lived about 66-68 million years ago in forested river valleys in western North America during the late Cretaceous Period. Based on the size of its skull, the paleontologists estimated this dinosaur is about 85 per cent the size of the largest T. Rex found to date. At the hips, the T. Rex would have been nearly as tall as a city bus, and as long as a bus from tail to head, the researchers said. “We think the Tufts-Love Rex is going to be an iconic specimen for the Burke Museum and the state of Washington and will be a must-see for dinosaur researchers as well,” Wilson said in a university statement.

Other players could be concerned about their image, says Sir Ian Botham's sexologist

www.lhrtimes.com

Other players could be concerned about their image, says Sir Ian Botham’s sexologist MUMBAI: Sir Ian Botham has successfully overcome his impotency issues, according to an Egyptian doctor Dr. Sherif El Wakil, who recently treated him. Speaking exclusively over his mobile from London, Dr. Sherif El Wakil said, “the clinical studies are very good, and I have seen great results so far in my clinic.” The 60-year-old former English cricketer Botham admitted he had four sessions of shockwave therapy to prevent erectile dysfunction in the future. Interestingly, Botham is NOT the first international cricketer being treated for impotency, but few cricketers from Asian region too are treated by him. “In my Sexual Aesthetic Centre, I am used to welcome so many high profile international patients whether from the Cricket Society, the sports industry or show business from Asia and from all over the world and I am sure you would respect my decision not to disclose any identity or insinuations that might occur out of patients confidentiality and respect.” “It was a great pleasure meeting Sir Ian Botham in person after watching him play cricket for so many years. He is even a more wonderful person when you meet him as well, I am an incredibly big fan of cricket, and I feel such an immense buzz watching it! Not only the games are usually so intense and enjoyable but the fact that you see one peaceful game bringing together all these millions of heart around it, what a wonderful tool to promote love and peace. Having said that, you can imagine my happiness when I saw a legend like Sir Ian Botham in my clinic.” “Other players actually should not shy away from these types of problems because if it is left it gets worse. The unfulfilling sexual relationship could lead to unhappy life in general, frustration, broken families, weak performance at work or in life and negative impact on relationships. The benefit of somebody like Sir Ian Botham with his charisma, history, background and fame, when he came forward to raise the awareness about this treatment, he gave a very good example to other people”. “Other players could be concerned about their image and the taboo associated with this treatment, but that is exactly what we are trying to break. There is no shame to come forward and talk about it. Hats off to Sir Ian Botham for breaking the taboo in the society”. About Vigore Vigore is an innovative but clinically proven treatment for improvement of erectile function in men who notice erectile weakness caused by reduced blood- ow to the penis. Treating erectile weakness with shockwaves is a new application of a well-established technology (Lithotripsy); the objective is to treat the underlying cause of erectile weakness and not just the symptoms. The treatment goal is the restoration of sexual function by achieving and maintaining a satisfactory erection. How does it work? Low-Intensity Shockwaves (LISW) used during the treatment promote angiogenesis – a natural process of new blood vessel formation. This process restores the supply of blood to the penis on the micro-vascular level thus improving erectile function in men noticing erectile weakness. These shockwaves are applied to the entire length of the penis and Crus. Because acoustic (shock) waves are not harmful to the human body, the use of LISW is completely safe, and to date, there are no reported side effects after 000’s of patients treated worldwide.

Dilshan's Dilscoop shot had a real threat of being hit himself on the body or head, says Dougie Marillier

www.lhrtimes.com

Dilshan’s Dilscoop shot had a real threat of being hit himself on the body or head, says Dougie Marillier MUMBAI: Dilshan’s famous Dilscoop shot was “very dangerous” for himself, according to Zimbabwean Douglas Marillier, who himself is known for his Marillier shot which is many times compared with the Dilscoop. Speaking exclusively over his mobile from Harare on Sunday, the 39-year-old Marillier said, “regarding our shots, I think they essentially try to do the same thing – score runs in an area that is difficult to protect as a captain – or perhaps to change the field in a way that allows for other scoring opportunities to open up”. “I think the way I played it – being slightly on the inside of the ball was probably less difficult than the way he played it, he was often on one knee and in many cases ended up hitting the ball directly over his own head so a fair amount more dangerous I would have thought – mine – well-being on the inside of the ball meant that all I had to do was get some bat on the ball – and if I didn’t then I may have ended up being bowled or perhaps being hit one the pads, his shot – if he ever missed (which was not often) then he had a real threat of being hit in the body of head”. “Obviously Dilshan’s shot is something that cricket lovers will remember – but they must also recall his ability to play the more orthodox cricket shots and do well with these – so he did, in essence, have the full package as a batsman – someone who both play conventional cricket and score freely, but also improvise in a way that few have been able to do”. “With regards to Dilshan’s retirement from the game, he has been a wonderful cricketer to watch and obviously has stood the test of time in terms of his career – I remember he was playing way back when I was playing so he really has been an asset to not only Sri Lanka but the game of Cricket as a whole – I wish him well in whatever he elects to do next”, he signed off.

Mayor is the father-figure of sports facility at Lauderhill

www.lhrtimes.com

Mayor is the father-figure of sports facility at Lauderhill MUMBAI: Richard Kaplan, the Mayor of City of Lauderhill, under Boward County in Florida, is likely to witness one or both the Day T-20 matches hastily organised by the India and West Indies cricket boards. Apparently, he was involved in the initial negotiations while the matches were being planned. “He is a very humble long term Mayor and father figure of this sports facility. The facility was developed primarily for cricket in mind, entirely under the leadership of Mayor Kaplan”, an India-born P. K. Guha, who migrated to the U.S. in 1974, and actively involved in the development of the sport in the USA, speaking exclusively said. “Kaplan is the first Caucasian American that I know of in my 45 years of USA cricket, who is so keen to see cricket develop in the USA. He is my Man for Cricket in the country”, Guha, who along with former West Indies cricket team’s star wicket-keeper Jeffrey Dujon and all-rounder John Shepherd, were this year’s class of inductees into the USA Cricket Hall of Fame recently, added. India and West Indies are to play on two consecutive days (Saturday and Sunday). “My role is limited, and it is being worked on with the Stadium personnel, BCCI, WICB, ICC and some staff members of the city. I leave it to their good judgment, and if I am needed, I will do what I can”, the Mayor said. “The facility is in the City of Lauderhill but is owned and operated by Broward County. The facility was designed between a partnership between Lauderhill and Broward County. Lauderhill may provide some services that are needed, requested and paid for”. “It (the ground) has 5000 permanent seats, lights, and a club house. Additional tents (party and VIP) can be installed, and the normal configuration can get it up to 15000. If temporary seating and skyboxes are installed, capacity can be increased to 25000”, the Mayor further added. The large contingent of BCCI officials are reaching the USA for the two matches. Nishant Arora and Gaurav Saxena, the media officials, along with Rajeev Shukla, the IPL chairman have already reached there. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

IS-claimed bombing against Yemen recruits kills 60

www.lhrtimes.com

IS-claimed bombing against Yemen recruits kills 60 ADEN: A suicide car bombing claimed by the Islamic State group killed at least 60 people Monday at an army recruitment centre in Aden, in the latest jihadist attack to hit the Yemeni city. Aden is the temporary base of Yemen’s internationally recognised government, which has been battling Iran-backed rebels as well as jihadists across the country for more than a year. Security officials told AFP that the attacker drove an explosives-laden vehicle into a gathering of army recruits at a school in northern Aden early Monday. Although the school was locked as recruits registered inside, the attacker drove in when the gate was opened for a delivery vehicle, officials said. Witnesses said some recruits were buried when a roof collapsed over them following the blast, which also damaged buildings close to the centre. The assault killed at least 60 people and wounded 29 others, medical sources from the three hospitals where the victims were taken told AFP. They could not immediately verify if all those killed were recruits. Aden has seen a wave of bombings and shootings targeting officials and security forces. Attacks in the port city are often claimed by jihadists from either Al-Qaeda or IS, who have both taken advantage of the chaos in Yemen to make gains in southern and southeastern regions. IS claimed Monday’s bombing on its official propaganda outlet, Amaq, saying the blast had killed around 60 people. Yemeni authorities have trained hundreds of soldiers in Aden over the past two months as part of operations to retake neighbouring southern provinces from jihadists. Earlier this month, Yemeni government forces backed by a Saudi-led coalition entered Abyan´s provincial capital Zinjibar. Troops retook other towns across Abyan but have been met by fierce resistance in the key Al-Qaeda stronghold of Al-Mahfid, security sources said. The militants are still present in areas surrounding the recaptured towns and control large parts of the neighbouring Shabwa province, the sources say. The Arab coalition battling Iran-backed rebels in Yemen has also been providing troops with air cover throughout their war against the jihadists. The coalition intervened in Yemen in March last year and helped government troops push the rebels out of Aden and four other southern provinces. More than 6,600 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Yemen since March 2015 and more than 80 percent of the population has been left in need of humanitarian aid, according to the UN.

Three Paris schools evacuated due to fresh bomb alert

www.lhrtimes.com

Three Paris schools evacuated due to fresh bomb alert PARIS, Feb. 1 (INP): Students at three high schools here were evacuated early Monday following a bomb alert, the country’s education authority said. Police searched Condorcet, Henri IV and Louis Le Grand lyceums and escorted all students to safety, the education authority said on its Twitter account. Last week, two fake bomb alerts forced the evacuation of the same schools. In the November 2015 edition of Dar al-Islam, an online French-language magazine produced by the Islamic State (IS), the IS called on its followers to kill teachers in the French education system, describing them as “enemies of Allah.” France has been on high terror alert after a series of deadly attacks rocked Paris on Nov. 13 and killed 130 people. The IS has claimed responsibility for the attacks. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Losing fastest 100 tag in ODIs' (to Australia) was not a satisfying moment, says Saqlain Mushtaq

www.lhrtimes.com

Losing fastest 100 tag in ODIs’ (to Australia) was not a satisfying moment, says Saqlain Mushtaq I am proud to be from Pakistan: Saqlain Mushtaq MUMBAI: It was not a “satisfying moment” for Pakistan’s ex-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq, when his twenty-year old record of fastest 100 wickets in ODI was broken by Australia’s Mitchell Starc. Mushtaq had claimed 100 wickets in 53 ODIs’, whereas Starc, playing his 52nd ODI against Sri Lanka on Sunday (R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo) achieved the feat. “I would not say I became sad, it (the word “sad”) is rather a harsh word but obviously, it was not a satisfying moment for me…”,the 40-year-old Saqlain, speaking exclusively over his mobile while in transit from Islamabad to Lahore, said. “Not only my name but my country’s name used to appear in bracket and now that (losing record to Starc) makes me disappointed….”. “However, I feel happy for Starc, who has done a fabulous job as an aggressive and attacking bowler for Australia has taken so many wickets in 52 matches”. “Whoever plays good cricket with attacking mind-set will make records. Only God knows who would now break Starc’s record”. “But I feel proud when my and my country’s name will still appear as a record holder for fastest 150, 200 and 250 wickets in ODIs”. “I wish Starc continues to play good cricket and I wish him more success in life”, Saqlain added. Obviously, Pakistan becoming the No.1 ranked Test team made Saqlain more satisfying. Pak team reached no. 1 Test team for the first time since rankings were introduced in 2003. “India remained No.1 Test team for just 5 days – shortest period for any team. In the past, all teams remained No. 1 at least for a month’, Bharath Seervi, the renowned cricket statistician informs. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Female tourists should not wear skirts in India, says tourism minister

www.lhrtimes.com

India’s tourism minister has said foreign women should not wear skirts or walk alone at night in the country’s small towns and cities “for their own safety”. Discussing tourist security in the north Indian city of Agra, site of the Taj Mahal, Mahesh Sharma said foreign arrivals to India were issued a welcome kit that included safety advice for women. “In that kit they are given dos and don’ts,” he said on Sunday. “These are very small things like, they should not venture out alone at night in small places, or wear skirts, and they should click the photo of the vehicle number plate whenever they travel and send it to friends.”

NASA's Juno probe completes first Jupiter flyby

www.lhrtimes.com

Washington: NASA’s solar-powered Juno spacecraft has successfully executed its first flyby of Jupiter, passing just 4,200 kilometres above the gas giant’s swirling clouds – the closest contact ever achieved by a man-made probe with the king of planets. The flyby on August 27 was the first time Juno had its entire suite of science instruments activated and looking at the giant planet as the spacecraft zoomed past, NASA said. During the closest approach with the gas-giant world, Juno passed about 4,200 kilometres above Jupiter’s clouds, travelling at 208,000 kilometres per hour with respect to the planet. This flyby was the closest Juno will get to Jupiter during its prime mission. “Early post-flyby telemetry indicates that everything worked as planned and Juno is firing on all cylinders,” said Rick Nybakken, Juno project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the US. There are 35 more close flybys of Jupiter planned during Juno’s mission scheduled to end in February 2018. “We are getting some intriguing early data returns as we speak,” said Scott Bolton, principal investigator of Juno from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. “It will take days for all the science data collected during the flyby to be downlinked and even more to begin to comprehend what Juno and Jupiter are trying to tell us,” said Bolton. While results from the spacecraft’s suite of instruments will be released down the road, a handful of images from Juno’s visible light imager – JunoCam – are expected to be released the next couple of weeks. Those images will include the highest-resolution views of the Jovian atmosphere and the first glimpse of Jupiter’s north and south poles. “We are in an orbit nobody has ever been in before, and these images give us a whole new perspective on this gas-giant world,” said Bolton. The Juno spacecraft launched on August 5, 2011, from Florida, and arrived at Jupiter on July 4 this year.

The Villainy you Teach Me

www.lhrtimes.com

The Villainy you Teach Me As it lay in ruins and bitter poverty now, it wasn’t always this barren. From Nakfa in northern Eritrea to Finchawa in Ethiopia it was a splendid land of glorious kings. Their men at the avant garde of civilization and women epitome of African beauty, they made gold coins embossed with King’s seals and stories of their wealth and generosity spread across the known world. Armah, the King of Aksum was one of the last kings of his line and the rich civilization. Its in his court, 1400 years ago this story took place. Amidst sartorial extravagance of knights and clergy perched in long columns, was the throne of Christian King, Ashamah Negus. It was no ordinary day for today the fate of these lowly Arabs be decided. Those who have come to live in protection of the great Ethiopian King because of the oppression of their brethren in Mecca. Word has it that they are the followers of a new religion that denounces polytheism. The source of great anxiety was however their beliefs that would enrage their hosts deeply. They did not believe that Jesus was crucified and God ordained Trinity. Their Prophet ﷺsaid Jesus was taken to heavens and one of the traitors was crucified to punish him for treason. They did not believe that Jesus or Moses were sons of God. Precious gifts were sent for King and the clergy through two of emissaries of the polytheists in Mecca to tip the scales in their favor. Masters of rhetoric, they would get these blasphemous innovators out of the Christian lands. The grand king Ashamah Negus was no fool. Ancient wisdom and intuition were a pre-requisites of becoming a king along with uprightness of character and judgment. The immigrants were sent for. All was at stake and a colossal defense was needed. If they were expelled from this land, there was nowhere under the sky they could find refugee. It was then when young Jaffar bin Tayyar ra was chosen for the task. An undertaking of astronomical proportions. He slowly stepped forward and started speaking. What he said went down in history as the most courageous and eloquent speech in history in front of an emperor. “O King! we were plunged in the depth of ignorance and barbarism; we adored idols, we lived in unchastity, we ate the dead bodies, and we spoke abominations, we disregarded every feeling of humanity, and the duties of hospitality and neighborhood were neglected; we knew no law but that of the strong, when Allah raised among us a man, of whose birth, truthfulness, honesty, and purity we were aware; and he ﷺcalled to the Oneness of Allah , and taught us not to associate anything with Him. He ﷺforbade us the worship of idols; and he enjoined us to speak the truth, to be faithful to our trusts, to be merciful and to regard the rights of the neighbors and kith and kin; he ﷺforbade us to speak evil of women, or to eat the substance of orphans; he ﷺordered us to flee from the vices, and to abstain from evil; to offer prayers, to render alms, and to observe fast. We have believed in him. We have accepted his teachings and his injunctions to worship Allah, and not to associate anything with Him, and we have allowed what He has allowed, and prohibited what He has prohibited. For this reason, our people have risen against us, have persecuted us in order to make us forsake the worship of Allah and return to the worship of idols and other abominations. They have tortured and injured us, until finding no safety among them; we have come to your country, and hope you will protect us from oppression.” The court was brought to silence. The king than started asking questions about their beliefs on Christianity and with same succinct plainness he told how they believed in the virgin birth and the miracles of Jesus. Very few kings of the yore are known to have change of heart like Negus. He listened to the great words from a fearless youth who endured the cruelty of his own blood and crossed into another continent to protect his people. His faith moved him. The king returned the gifts as ‘bribes’ and ordered his vast kingdom to open up for these guests. Word has it that he converted to Islam and Prophet ﷺpraised him and offered his funeral in absence. In 1935, Mussolini invade Ethiopia with lethal gas prohibited in 1922 Geneva Protocol killing 275,000 men, women and children. Ethiopia requested then League of Nations to resolve the genocide but it conveniently ignored the screams. Ironically Italy asked the same league to accept annexation in 1936 which everyone happily did except Soviet Union. It took only 3 years to import 35,441 Italian colonizers, men and women who continued the genocide. On 14th July 2016 a truck containing 19-tonne of explosive matter hit the Bastille Day celebration in Nice, France and killed 84 people and injured 303. An attack that saddened everyone around the globe. Same innocent “question” resurfaced. ‘Why do they hate us’? I sometimes wonder what do they tell their children in schools in history classes about places like Algeria, Morocco, Tunis, Ethiopia and Afghanistan? I wonder when US citizens tell their veterans how valuable their ‘services’ are, what do they really think their forces do around the world? As the rhetoric on both sides grow from mild to rancorous I muse, how much more blood has to spill before the white man is satiated? This repetition of history is just what Quran refers to as the vicious circle of thankless nations. There was a time when Pocahontas placed her head on top of her colonizer John Smith when her father wanted to execute him, thus saving his life. When the colored of the world were curious and loved the foreigners. Centuries later the colored has learned the blood letting from their beloveds. The fire has reached the one who ignited it. In the words of Shylock “The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction” MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Every potential driver must undergo a screening process before they can use Uber – which requires their national identity card, driving license, car registration, a police verification certificate and a social referral character certificate. All drivers must also go through comprehensive training on how to operate the app and attend a mandatory anti-sexual harassment seminar by Rabbt. Once passed, the incredible technology connects successful independent drivers to more riders, so they can take more trips per hour. The drivers who partner with Uber choose when they drive, and can dictate their own schedule, day-to-day, week-to-week. Uber is creating thousands of similar economic opportunities for people in every city where the service is available. The app uses GPS-enabled maps to find the closest available driver, usually just minutes away. Once requested, the rider sees the driver’s photo, name and car registration and can watch on their smartphone in real-time as the vehicle arrives. They can also check whether others have had a good experience with him or her. The app notifies the rider when their driver has arrived, so gone are the days of waiting outside in the dark. During the trip, riders can share their estimated time of arrival or a live map with friends or family who can track their progress and know when to expect them. And at the end of the journey, the trip can be completely cashless, as payment can be made automatically made through app wishes so there’s no worrying about carrying enough cash. These features provide increased safety as well as unprecedented convenience. After every ride, you and your drivers need to rate each other and provide feedback. Uber’s safety team reviews this information and investigates any issues. Plus there is 24/7 support so if something happens, whether it’s a traffic accident or a disagreement, our customer support staff are ready to respond to any issues at any time.

Wake up call

www.lhrtimes.com

Wake up call One of the most critical issues our nation facing today is the rising number of divorces and lack of moral and ethical family values. None of the four pillars of media are addressing this issue seriously. Infact, I would strictly highlight the fact that the story line and plot of nearly all drama serials and soap operas is conveying extremely shameful values to the audience. Young girls to married women at home watch these dramas where there are scenarios that are totally unacceptable in any honorable society, let alone a Muslim society. The producers of these dramas justify their story-line stating that they are just creating awareness among viewers about what’s happening in the society. On the contrary, very few viewers are getting aware and majority are following what they are getting to see on the TV. Our sisters and daughters should very much be encouraged to study and work but in last one decade, married girls are failing to make a family, to top it all , even their parents are not being strict about divorces as they pose to be liberal and educated. Until late 1990’s when there were a handful of tv channels, we had dramas which we could watch with families and they taught us basic values and morals. Introduction of Turkish dramas in Pakistan has infected the drama industry badly. This is not progress by any means. I firmly request the PEMRA to keep a strict check on the story-lines of the dramas and morning shows because the need of the hour is to eradicate vulgarity from our society and we should hold workshops and free marriage counselling for our public. The Government statisticians should note the number of divorces on yearly basis and announce publicly to wake up conscience of the society and I assure you if PEMRA limits these immoral story-line dramas and the channels show positivism and we have workshops and seminars for marriage and family counselling then the divorce rates will rapidly decline and family values among people will show marked improvement. May Allah protect us all Amen Farooq Azhar Khwaja Lahore MORE FROM THIS SECTION

www.lhrtimes.com

Ufone to launch UWatch; Stay connected to your child with a watch ISLAMABAD: Ufone, Pakistan’s premier telecom operator, is primed to launch a first of its kind product that will bring parents some much-needed peace of mind – the UWatch. UWatch keeps families connected in the way they want to be without the need to buy a young child a smartphone. UWatch is a wearable mobile watch designed specifically for kids in order for parents to keep in touch with their loved ones. This watch provides two-way voice calling functionality i.e. the parent can dial into the watch and also the child can dial from the watch to the parent’s mobile number. Additionally, UWatch also provides real-time location capability via GSM/GPS positioning so that parents can be aware of their child’s location. UWatch is securely controlled by the parents using the UWatch app through a smartphone supporting both Android and IOS platforms. Through the app, parents can stay connected with their children throughout the day, right from their own mobile device. Whether it’s checking to see that your child has made it home safely from school or calling to let your child know you’re running a few minutes late, the app delivers the connection and peace of mind that every parent desires. With the UWatch app, the parent is always in control. From live monitoring to setting up safe zones, the app provides several ways to customize the UWatch experience for your family. The app provides accurate real-time locations of your child and can also control who your child can call and receive calls from. In addition to that, parents can set up Safe Zones to receive notifications when your child has left or entered certain locations. “At Ufone, we maintain an unwavering focus on our customers’ needs and convenience with innovation being at the forefront of everything we do. The UWatch is a prime example of that as it offers a very unique and innovate way of keeping families connected,” said Taimur Faiz Cheema, Ufone’s General Manager Marketing. “We are proud to be the first telecom company in Pakistan to launch a breakthrough product like the UWatch and we are confident this will bring some much-needed relief to the parents.” The UWatch will have a BVS registered SIM in it through which all the communication will take place. The parent SIM will also be BVS registered and will be used in the mobile phone in which the app will be installed. The UWatch is now available for purchase from Ufone Service Centers in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

While presenting the Micheal Jackson Vanguard Award to Rihanna, he shared his feelings for her in the most explicit way. “She’s someone I have been in love with since I was 22-years-old,” Drake confessed. She is one of my bestfriends in the world. All my adult life I have looked up to her even though she’s younger than me. She’s a living breathing legend in our industry,” he further added. ight after the moving speech, Drizzy went in for a kiss but Rihanna thwarted his attempt and hugged him instead. THAT must have hurt — and of course, Twitterati noticed. My poor boo boo #Drake was like, “I love forever, you to the moon and back,” and bad gal Ri Ri was like, “Thanks Bruh Bruh.” #VMAs — Arianna Davis (@ariannagdavis) August 29, 2016 When #Drake tell #Rihanna he’s been “in love w her since he was 22” and she responds w “thanks for a great speech”. pic.twitter.com/dEh68E0ube — BEX {rebekah} (@Bex965) August 29, 2016 Lowkey thought #Drake would pull out a engagement ring… That was serious. #VMAs — Mobeen Lalani (@mobeenlalani) August 29, 2016 #Drake was facing a FULL COUNT in the bottom of the 9th with two outs and #rihanna THREW the MEANEST CURVE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 — C.StrongBLOODLINE (@CstrongTimeless) August 29, 2016 Amir Khan giving Drake a boxing lesson is the best thing you’ll see all day Rihanna made up for the awkward hug-kiss however, as the two were leaving the stage.

Malaysia replaces Pakistan as leader in Islamic banking, finance

www.lhrtimes.com

Malaysia replaces Pakistan as leader in Islamic banking, finance LONDON: The Cambridge Islamic Finance Leadership Programme (IFLP) 2016 attracted participation from the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and America. Over a period of five days beginning August 20, more than 50 mentors, speakers and delegates took part in the global leadership programme, specifically structured for the middle and upper-middle management personnel of Islamic financial institutions. Designed and structured by Cambridge IF Analytica and held at Clare College, University of Cambridge, the programme was delivered by some of the most influential leaders in Islamic banking and finance. The Cambridge-IFLP 2016 was strategically supported by the Jeddah-based Islamic Corporation for the Development of Private Sector (ICD), which also sent a group of delegates from its Islamic Finance Talent Development Programme. Other sponsors included Kuala Lumpur-based Finance Accreditation Agency, which was represented by its CEO, Dr Amat Taap Manshor and Chief Technological Officer, Dr Eddy Chong. The programme included seven leadership interviews, which were recorded and live-streamed on major social media platforms. On the first day, Dr Adnan Chilwan, CEO of Dubai Islamic Bank, was interviewed as part of the leadership interview segment. Sharif El Gamal, CEO of Soho Properties, New York, and Dr Daud Bakar, Chairman of Amanie Holdings, were amongst other speakers and interviewees for the day. Dr Yaqub Mirza, an American-Pakistani entrepreneur and CEO of Sterling Management Group, was also amongst the speakers. Pakistan was represented by only one organisation – Habib Metro Bank. The delegates were selected through a tough competition amongst middle and upper-middle management of Islamic financial institutions from around the world. Malaysia topped the list with eight delegates. Although Pakistan was represented by only one bank, there were other Pakistani bankers working in the Middle East who were amongst those chosen for the leadership programme. Pakistan has historically provided leadership in Islamic banking and finance, but lately this role has been taken up by countries like Malaysia. “Representation of Habib Metro Bank at the Cambridge-IFLP and contribution of Bilal Subzwari from the bank was noted with appreciation by the programme mentors,” said Dr Sofiza Azmi, Programme Director. The Cambridge-IFLP was structured in such a way that it gave the delegates direct access to the global leaders in Islamic banking and finance. A number of CEOs of Islamic financial institutions spent plenty of time with the delegates throughout the programme. Among them were Wan Fadzmi Wan Othman, CEO of Agrobank (Malaysia), Ramlie Kamsari, CEO of Nomura Islamic Asset Management, Mohammad Ikram Thowfeek, CEO of CAF Investment Bank (Kuwait) and Fadi Al Faqih, CEO of Bank of Khartoum. All the delegates received Cambridge Certificates in Islamic Banking and Finance Leadership. Five of the delegates were also presented with Cambridge Islamic Finance Leadership Awards. The winners included Tanvir Ahmeduddin (ICD), Abdul Azim Mohammed (Bank Islamic Brunei Darussalam), Dr Hanis Osman (Bank Rakyat Malaysia), Mohammad Taufik Zakaria (Agrobank Malaysia) and Oluwaseun Alele (DDGI).

Brexit: EU’s Epitaph and Take-aways for Pakistan

www.lhrtimes.com

Brexit: EU’s Epitaph and Take-aways for Pakistan In 1919 Treaty of Versailles was heaped upon an already defeated and subjugated Germany after a devastating World War I. Its allies humiliated, its resources depleted and economy on its knees, Germany signed arguably one of the most ignominious peace deals in world politics. The terms were so brutal that the reparations included stallions, mares, cows, rams, sheep and bulls along with coal mines and literally everything worth anything. Historians have argued that this was the very blow that drove Stolz German nation to give into Nazi nationalism and die for the mother land. Nietzsche’s works were reinterpreted and Uber alles spirit infested the Teutonic tribe. World War II ended with similar results but la République and Union Jack’s aspirations were only beginning to materialize. The only problem was to prevent itself from wars and create a combined front to counter future aggressions of Russia, Germany, Japan and anything that rose above its heights. Soft power emerged in the form of United Nations and its international organizations. War-torn economy stood upon its feet by generous Marshal Plan of a paranoid US fearing Cold War escalation. Alliances and Treaties like SEATO and CENTO were forged to keep Kremlin away from the liberal economic world order after Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944. Most important of all was to create a strong neighborhood that ensured mutual cooperation. 1950 brought 6 powerful post-war nations together in sharing their steel resources, the first step towards what we know as the European Union today. Treaty of Rome created European Economic Community half a century later actually institutionalizing the dream. Today EU’s budget for 2014-2020 is 960 billion Euro with Germany being the largest contributor, a remarkable feat from the war-torn country that could barely survive without the help of its enemies. Brexit, many say, is the psychological alarm that triggered precisely because of this German dominance in Brussels. Nigel Farage, the leader of UK Independence party, has been the most ferocious of the EU critics. Uncontrolled EU immigration laws, economic dependence, inability to legislate independently, and islamophobia seems to be his key arguments. Even though the UK has opted out from Euro and border control agreements, pro-brexiters argue for complete independence. Populist slogans like more jobs, Brits first and lower tax and welfare benefits for immigrants are working like they always do. The situation has polarized public opinion to the verge of violence and Jo Cox, a British MP has already lost her life to right-wing extremists. This seething national fervor is not without its opposition. Liberal voices have locked horns with the conservatives on literally every issue from statistics to politics and morality to culture. David Cameron, the prime minister, stands against it with all the forces he could summon. Even US has warned the UK of ‘consequences’ while Putin calls it Cameron blackmailing EU. The UK will certainly lose its negotiation powers in international trade deals, skilled labor attraction, freedom of navigation and a lot more. IMF has already flagged UK’s departing decision as a precursor to British recession and global ‘contagion effect’. Does Pakistan have a lesson or two to learn from it? Winston Churchill’s famous quote ‘History is written by victors’ appears to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. While the crimes of Soviet Union are chronicled by pro-western writers and Japanese imperialism is lacerated by American historians the problem doesn’t lie in the history itself. Historical revisionism is what makes it impossible to learn from history and repeat it unwisely. Years ago my visit to Auschwitz camp in Poland was a painful reminder of this. One of the memories I have from the camp was the famous quote form George Santayana that goes like this. ‘Those who cannot learn from the history are doomed to repeat it.’ This seems to be the case for Pakistan at least. Only a generation ago we were told that economic liberalization and free markets are the way forward to prosperity, economic independence, and globalization. Generous US support through Pakistan during Soviet-Afghan war ensured our allegiance to allies in their new world order. Failed coup of General Akbar Khan with Faiz Ahmed Faiz and other Marxist actors was first thwarted attempt to socialize the country that later resurrected in its short-lived Bhutto regime where nationalization of industries destroyed country’s economy beyond repair. PPPs policies of economic centralization were very similar to Mao’s Great Leap Forward. Marxists in Pakistan, however, didn’t have what it took to overthrow the Czar. Hide and seek between army generals and so-called democratic regimes continued. War on terror electrified public opinion against foreign influence in country’s affairs. Political arena saw a new player named Imran Khan, former cricket player become an emerging star and nuisance for the status quo political parties. More or less a tripartite democracy, free market, and free media, Pakistan has joined the camp of allies into the globalist world. The question is, does Britain feel the same way about globalization? Brexit is a lesson to the developing world as if it wasn’t clear enough until now. Rules of the game can change anytime its major players find them unfair. Alliances are broken, treaties nullified, promises reinterpreted and arsenals revamped. It was the UK, France, Britain and US that lead the world into surplus economics and multinational corporations. Margaret Thatcher’s vehement TV performances of pitching this new world order with her charming ‘breaking free from the cage’, spread like an epidemic among the masses. Decades later, that same Britain wants to get back into its nationalistic cage because it looks safer, stronger and to be fair familiar. Whatever happened to fighting for freedom, democratic values, and openness? With China’s rise as an alternative power, US annihilation in Afghanistan and Europe’s pre-occupation with its migrant crisis, the global vacuum of power is emerging. Is it a good chance for Pakistan to break free of its colonial chains? Do we have anything to lose but the yokes around our necks? The jury is still out on it. We certainly need to set our priorities right and choose our partners wisely. This could be a turning point in Pakistan’s history. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Bacteria in chewable tobacco products may increase risk of cancer: Study

www.lhrtimes.com

Bacteria in chewable tobacco products may increase risk of cancer: Study New York: If you are addicted to chewable tobacco products like tobacco leaves, khaini, pan masala, zarda and gutka, then stop eating as it is considered not good for health. And researchers have identified some species of bacteria in these tobacco products that can increase the risk of cancer, lung infections, diarrhoea and vomiting. The study states that these chewable tobacco products contains bacillus licheniformis and bacillus pumilus, a bacteria species that could potentially cause inflammation of the lungs, as well as many other opportunistic infections. Steven Foley, research microbiologist at the National Centre for Toxicological Research, US Food and Drug Administration said that some species have been identified as causative agents in spice-related outbreaks of diarrhoea and vomiting. Additionally, they produce a mild toxin which, in large quantities could cause illness. Several species of bacillus, as well as some stapphylococcus epidermidis and staphylococcus hominis strains can reduce nitrates to nitrites that can potentially lead to cancer, Foley added. In order to allow nicotine to pass into the bloodstream, individuals hold these products in their mouths and thus come in close contact with mucus membranes for extended periods of time that provides an opportunity for the user to be exposed to bacteria present in the product, the researchers said. Additionally, users often have problems with gingivitis and other oral health issues that are caused by the smokeless tobacco products. Previous studies have shown the species of Staphylococci present in these products to cause heart valve infection. The gum disease, and other oral issues enables bacterial entry into the bloodstream, paving a way to the heart. The study was undertaken to better understand the potential microbiological risks associated with the use of smokeless tobacco products, and to provide a baseline microbiological risk profile of these products, Foley noted. The findings were published in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Asian Tech Startups in Emerging Markets to Watch

www.lhrtimes.com

Asian Tech Startups in Emerging Markets to Watch KARACHI: Internet penetration is beginning to accelerate in Asia’s emerging markets. While smartphones are widespread in many Asian countries, in others, the smartphone revolution is just beginning. Tech startups in the Pakistan seem to be racing ahead, whereas, in countries such as Myanmar, there are larger obstacles to overcome. Within Asia’s emerging markets, which startups are making waves in this smartphone era? Indonesia – Million Dollar Motorcycle App Indonesia’s startup landscape is still somewhat mysterious for those trying to break into it. However, Go-Jek, has succeeded in becoming the hottest startup to make it big. Picking up paying passengers on the back of your motorbike used to be an unofficial money-spinner in Indonesia, but Go-Jek has made this a legitimate business. This Indonesian equivalent of Uber offers motorbike rides on demand and was the most popular free iOS app downloaded in Indonesia, in 2015. In spite of a recent stir caused by lower prices, it’s likely that Go-Jek will continue to prosper and transform transportation in the world’s biggest archipelago, especially following the USD $550 million it raised in funding this month! Bangladesh – Price Comparison App Seedstars Winner As a developing country with 5 main mobile phone providers offering over 250 plans, it’s easy to find yourself locked into a contract that you can’t afford in Bangladesh. However, there is now a way to avoid this situation. Bangladeshi app Madviser provides a solution. Based on your smartphone usage behaviour, the app calculates which deal would be best for you, saving you both money and time. As the winner of a Seedstars World competition last year, receiving USD $500,000, the app’s developer Humake Lab is set to fly towards changing the way in which Bangladeshis shop for phone contracts. Philippines – A Wealth of Tech Startups Metro Manila is buzzing with technology these days. Startups seem to be earning foreign investments left right and center. IT solutions provider Yondu sits among the best of the bunch. Since the company “ranked second in Forbes Philippines’ top startups list”, “Xurpas invested PHP 900 million to acquire a 51% stake in Yondu” (Forbes). The mobile and IT content and services provider is proving that the Philippines is a great place to be for tech companies, and the world is watching as it develops as one of the country’s tech pioneers. Myanmar – New Incubator Producing Rising Stars It is the dawn of the startup in Myanmar, and with the launch of new incubator Phandeeyar Accelerator in 2016, the future of startups is looking much brighter. Myanmar’s internet users are centered around the smartphone, the sales of which have exploded like nowhere else. Although a small startup has yet to make it big, Phandeeyar’s Innovation Lab is set to change that. Rocket Internet led sites such as work.com.mm have begun to change the way that Myanmar citizens find work. Soon, the majority of job hunting in Myanmar could happen via smartphones. This is truly incredible, especially given that cellular subscriptions have jumped from 1.10% of the population in 2010 to 61.70% in 2015, according to techinasia.com. Sri Lanka – Online Shopping Startups Attracting Investors Not only is the island of Sri Lanka simply beautiful, but it’s also becoming a country to watch in the tech world. Now that the country’s political situation has calmed down, startups such as Takas are attracting investors’ attention. This online shopping startup raised Rs.80 million in 2015 and was named the country’s best startup. The company is highly ambitious, and it’s impressive how quickly a small local tech project such as this has attracted investment. With a few more startup incubators encouraging tech teams, Sri Lanka could be the next big innovator country in just a couple of years’ time. Pakistan – Influential New App Transforms Mobile Banking Online banking and cashless transactions have transformed much of the west. Pakistan, on the other hand, is an economy that is fuelled by cash transactions. Despite this, with its innovative online banking solutions, Pakistan’s Innov8 is ground-breaking in the world of mobile financial services. Having already fetched USD $5.4 Million in funding in 2015, this Lahore-grown startup is expanding and transforming Asia’s mobile financial services market. Pan-Asian Startups There is also a number of startups operating in multiple countries across Asia, changing the way certain industries work. Lamudi – Find Your Dream House Global online real estate platform Lamudi focuses solely on the emerging markets. Lamudi is present in all of the above-mentioned countries where real estate is currently booming. This highly innovative company has become the market leader in a number of countries very quickly with its website and app, and it is changing the face of real estate. Real estate is moving online very fast in Asia. In the future, we may even see real estate transactions happening as a result of virtual reality viewings you may not even need to leave the comfort of your armchair to buy a home! Aslan Pharmaceuticals – Finding Cancer Treatments for Asia This pan-Asian biotechnology startup’s focus is on oncology; more precisely, looking at the cancers that are the most prevalent in Asia and developing technologies to treat them. The company has received USD $77 million in funding so far and is set to make a huge difference to the treatment of cancer on the Asian continent. It plans to do this by looking at immunotherapies and targeted agents through working on specific goals. With the increase in startup incubators almost all over Asia’s emerging markets, startup giants from all corners are on the cusp of making it big. The internet is powerful. Especially when you can hold it in your hand. Look out for the innovators who will be changing the world! MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Remittances register decline of more than 36pc

www.lhrtimes.com

Remittances register decline of more than 36pc Lahore – As the remittances have registered a decline of more than 36 percent, the All Pakistan Business Forum (APBF) has suggested to the government to announce incentives for oversees Pakistanis so that the drop could be controlled; besides investment by Pakistani expatriates could be boosted. APBF President Ibrahim Qureshi said on Sunday that Current Account (C/A) deficit had widened to $591 million in July 2016, whereas $575 million deterioration was largely owing to $745 million (or 36 percent MoM) decline in remittances. Remittances sent by overseas Pakistan registered an annual drop by 20 percent to $1. 33 billion in July. The oil-rich Arab countries account for almost 65 percent of entire remittances sent by overseas Pakistanis. Qureshi feared that the fall could be a setback for Pakistan as it largely depended on remittances to meet its foreign obligations and increase its reserves. In July, the inflow of remittances from Saudi Arabia had dropped by 20 percent, but it was still the highest at $379 million. What is more concerning is the plunge in remittances from the United States and the United Kingdom as inflows from these countries fell by 33. 5 and 38 percent, respectively. Remittances from US and UK had come down by 6 percent and 8 percent, respectively, in the preceding fiscal year. The APBF president opined that if the government would assist the overseas Pakistanis and provide them incentives, they could play a pivotal role in boosting Pakistan’s economy through their remittances and investments. He said that oversees Pakistanis could invest in agriculture, transportation, telecom and energy sectors, which had huge potentials. “The government has badly failed to attract foreign investment because delay in the approval of projects discourages the investors,” he added. Qureshi asked the bureaucracy to simplify the procedures by revisiting the existing processes so that the investors could be facilitated. He said that export-oriented industries should be facilitated by making rules, regulations and procedures simple. “It is a matter of concern that exports are declining in spite of the fact that country has all the resources,” he lamented. “We have to focus on investing in the energy sector, lowering of tariffs on smuggling prone items, increasing the share of direct taxes in revenues and lowering the slab of indirect taxes to achieve key economic targets set for the year, 2016-17,” he emphasised. Qureshi said the Protection of Economic Reforms Act, 1992 should also be amended appropriately in order to curb remitting undeclared income through unofficial channels outside Pakistan, and the same being brought back to Pakistan through banking channels in foreign exchange.

Lower education, income level may up obesity in young adults

www.lhrtimes.com

New York: Teenagers of normal weight or young adults who live in neighbourhoods with lower education or income levels are at higher risk of becoming overweight or obese, a new study says. It found that 25 per cent of young adults became overweight or obese. “Emerging adulthood is a critical time period for excess weight gain due to a variety of factors, including many teenagers leaving home for college and having more freedom and access to food,” noted Deborah Rohm Young, Researcher, Kaiser Permanente Southern California, Department of Research & Evaluation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), social determinants of health, which are the conditions in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship and age, affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks. For the study, the researchers analysed the health records of 22,823 ethnically diverse individuals who were 18-year-old with normal weight based on BMI less than 25 and followed them for four years. In this study, obesity count is based on the gender specific body mass index (BMI) for age growth charts developed by the CDC. Over the course of four years, researchers found about 23 per cent of the normal-weight teenagers living in neighbourhoods with low education became overweight and about 2 per cent of those living in lower income neighbourhoods became obese. In addition, females and blacks had almost 1.7 and 1.3 times the increased risk compared with males and whites, respectively, for being overweight or obese. “Our study found that living in a disadvantaged place puts teens at an increased risk for being overweight or obese. Although we did not explore potential reasons for this increase, factors may include cultural norms, as well as lack of access to public parks and grocery stores,” Young added, in the paper published in the journal Pediatric Obesity.

www.lhrtimes.com

Cricketers’ popular Australian ortho-surgeon on India-Sri Lanka trip: Best chance for Malinga to be examined MUMBAI: Dr. David Young, an Australian orthopedic surgeon, who is popular among several Asian cricketers is on a week-long trip to India and Sri Lanka. He has been attending the 3rd International Congress of the World Coalition for Trauma Care in Delhi. It is being organised by the Indian Society for Trauma and Acute Care. Speaking exclusively over his Australian mobile on Thursday morning, he said, “it will be a good experience to meet world’s renowned doctors and India’s orthopedic surgeons”. Dr. Young is scheduled to deliver his talk on Friday night at the four-day seminar, which began on August 17th. Dr. David Young has treated several sports persons across the world and many of the Asian players from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh rush to him for treating their injuries. During his trip to India this week, he has no plan to examine any local players, but an opportunity is there to examine Sri Lankan speedster Lasith Malinga next week. “I shall be leaving for Sri Lanka on Saturday night and will call Malinga, who, a good player, is a friend of mine. Will advise him on his long-standing injury”. The 33-year-old right-arm fast bowler Malinga is out of the game since last 8-9 months due to overuse of his bone-bruise injury. He had undergone surgeries for his knee and ankle in the past. “I have not spoken to Malinga for quite some time and let me see how he feels after being rested for so many months”. Dr. Young is also to deliver a lecture in one of the conferences he is scheduled to attend in Batticaloa before returning to Australia on 25th August. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Saluting Tricolour to defy militants’ diktat in Northeast

www.lhrtimes.com

Saluting Tricolour to defy militants’ diktat in Northeast GUWAHATI: Overcoming the trepidation of decades, the residents of India’s restive Northeast celebrated 70th Independence Day on 15 August with great enthusiasm. Braving the odd, when the country witnessed continued violence in Jammu & Kashmir, Manipur and also in Assam, the patriotic citizens of the region came in large number to assemble in both government and community level celebrations for the auspicious day. Defying the threats of separatist armed militants, which triggered five serial blasts in eastern Assam and two explosions in Imphal in the morning hours, the people of the alienated region joined in I-Day functions with patriotic fervor. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisted the national flag at the historic Red Fort in New Delhi, all the chief ministers unfurled the Tricolour in their respective capital cities amidst galore. Assam government chief Sarbananda Sonowal saluted the national flag in Guwahati, where hundreds of other venues witnessed the observation of the cherished day in both government and community levels. In his address, Sonowal reiterated his government’s commitment to detect & deport illegal Bangladeshis from the soil of Assam and make the State free from corruption, terrorism, and pollution. He also thanked the people of both Brahmaputra & Barak valleys for their spontaneous participation in I-Day functions completely ignoring the diktat of militants. Assam’s powerful minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma hoisted the national flag in Dibrugarh, where the Tricolour was unfurled by another important minister Chandra Mohan Patowary in Nalbari and BTC chief Hagrama Mohilary in Kokrajhar. They were unanimous in appealing the militants to shun the path of violence and join the peace talks. Tricolour was also raised at Northeast Frontier Railway Headquarter in Maligaon; BSF Guwahati frontier headquarter in Patgaon, Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force’s 33rd Bn camp in Jalukbari, Guwahati Refinery in Noonmati, Doomduma Press Club, etc. with many other institution & organizations. Nagaland chief minister TR Zeliang hoisted the national flag in Kohima, whereas Meghalaya CM Mukul Sangma saluted the Tricolour in Shillong. Arunachal Pradesh’s new chief minister Pema Khandu participated in I-Day function in Itanagar, when Manipur CM Okram Ibobi Singh unfurled the national flag in Imphal. Relatively peaceful States of the region namely Mizoram, Sikkim and Tripura also witnessed the celebration of I-Day functions led by their chief ministers Lal Thanhawla, Pawan Kumar Chamling and Manik Sarkar. It may be mentioned that a section banned armed outfits including United Liberal Front of Assam (Independent), National Democratic Front of Bodoland (IK Songbijit faction), Garo National Liberation Army with few others called for a total shutdown on 15 August. However, ridiculing the diktat, Journalists’ Forum Assam (JFA) urged each and every patriotic citizen of the region to come forward and celebrate the day with fanfare. Maintaining their stand to defy the militants’ diktat once again, the Guwahati-based scribes, senior citizens and members of civil society congregated enthusiastically at Guwahati Press Club to celebrate the I-Day and salute the known and unknown martyrs. They repeated their preaching that both I-Day and R-Day are for every Indian citizen and not only for the government to observe these national days. Senior journalist Anup Sarma hoisted the national flag on the occasion, where the JFA president Rupam Barua spoke of the freedom movements that began earlier than the first nationalistic struggle of 1857, followed by the Mahatma Gandhi-led Non-Cooperation, Civil Disobedience, and Quit India movements, Netaji led INA War and Navy Mutiny, all of which culminated in 1947 with India emerging as a free nation of immense promise. “Our country’s independence came about through the supreme sacrifices of countless patriots and martyrs. It is in their honour that we observe I-Day. It is their contributions we need to remember gratefully when we bow our heads under the Tricolour,” said Barua adding that it is improper to raise demands or go on a protest on such occasions when other days in the year are available. It may be recalled that in 1998, challenging the terrorist threats, a few journalists with the support of handful patriotic citizens hoisted the national flag in the press club. Since then, the flag hoisting ceremony has become regular events on August 15 and January 26 every year. These events encouraged the people with inspiration which has culminated in today’s atmosphere of the hoisting national flag without trepidation and fear. The participants also joined in a rally on the street to chant patriotic slogans on the occasion. Returning back, they witnessed the opening of a doctors’ chamber on the press club campus. Inaugurated by young citizens Dhiman, Kristi, Shantanava, Arya, Shambhavi, Nistha and Arunava, the chamber has been constructed by the city-based Dispur Hospitals. A qualified doctor will be available on every Saturday evening (5 to 8 pm) for free medical consultations with the scribes and their close relatives. Among those graced the occasion included Dr Jagadindra Raichaudhury, Col. Ranjan Dutta, Apurba Sarma, Ranen Kumar Goswami, Girindra Karji, Pradip Thakuria, Kailash Sarma, Raman Bora, Nava Thakuria, Pramod Kalita, Kishor Giri, Manoj Agasti, Pulin Kalita, Bipul Sarma, Bikash Singh, Nayan Pratim Kumar, Rajeev Bhattacharyya, Chinmoi Roy, Bhaskar Medhi, Ravi Ajitacharya, Baldev Pandey, Dilwar Hussain, Ujjal Saikia, Mrinal Ali Hazarika, Rupen Sarma, Purabi Baruah, Namrata Dutta, Mamata Mishra, Anita Kalita Goswami, Akshyamala Bora, Anjali Kumar, Sewali Kalita, Tarali Chakravarty, Nabanita Mazumdar, Azlina Khanam, etc. MORE FROM THIS SECTION

Breast milk sugars may ward off deadly infection in babies

www.lhrtimes.com

Breast milk sugars may ward off deadly infection in babies London: A type of sugar found naturally in some women’s breast milk may protect newborn babies from infection with a potentially life threatening bacterium, says a study. The study found that breast milk containing lacto-n-difucohexaose I — a specific sugar produced in nearly half of all women in the world — was better at killing the Group B streptococcus bacteria — a common cause of meningitis as well as the leading cause of various infections in newborns. The infants whose mothers produced lacto-n-difucohexaose I in their breast milk, were more likely to have cleared the bacteria from their body by 60-89 days after birth. The Group B streptococcus bacteria is naturally found in the vagina and bowels of one in three pregnant woman and can be transferred to the baby during childbirth or in breast milk, triggering an infection. Human milk oligosaccharides — mixture of many different types of sugar — found in woman’s breast milk does not get digested, but act as food for the ‘friendly bacteria’ in a baby’s intestine. The presence of sugars found in human breast milk allows the “friendly” bacteria to flourish and out-compete any harmful bacteria that may be in the child’s gut, the study said. “The study suggests that these breast milk sugars (human milk oligosaccharides) may protect against infections in the newborn, such as rotavirus and Group B streptococcus,” said lead author Nicholas Andreas, post-doctoral student at Imperial College London. Further, women who had the gene linked to the Lewis antigen system — a genetic system involved in making the A,B,O blood group — were less likely to have the bacteria in their gut, and their babies were also less likely to get the bacteria from their mothers at birth, the researchers stated. For the study, published in the journal Clinical and Translational Immunology, the team tested breast milk for the sugars that are known to be controlled by these Lewis genes in 183 women from Gambia.

Dalton, Bengals sharp early in 26-21 preseason loss at Jags

wnewsj.com

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals were so sharp against Jacksonville that Andy Dalton and several teammates were done long before halftime. Dalton led the Bengals to two touchdowns in three possessions, earning him a little extra rest in a 26-21 loss to the Jaguars in the preseason Sunday night. “It was a good outing for us,” said Dalton, who completed 6 of 10 passes for 77 yards and a TD. “Two touchdowns in the first half of a preseason game is pretty good, and we got them both ways. … It’s a good feeling to do it both ways.” The Bengals (1-2) felt good on both sides of the ball, too. Dalton found Giovani Bernard for a 19-yard score on a third-down play, and then Jeremy Hill capped a 9-minute drive with a 1-yard scramble to the pylon. Defensively, the Bengals held Jacksonville to just 90 yards in the first half. Jacksonville’s first three drives: turnover, three-and-out and three-and-out. Cincy’s only concern in the regular-season dress rehearsal was the health of three Pro Bowlers. Receiver A.J. Green left in the first quarter with a bruised right knee, but said he’s fine. Cornerback Adam Jones strained his right calf in preseason warmups and did not play. And special teams ace Cedric Peerman broke his left forearm and could be out for the season. “It’s unfortunate guys have injuries, but you can’t worry about that,” Dalton said. “You’ve got to worry just about the stuff you can control.” Safety Tashaun Gipson (bruised knee) was Jacksonville’s only injured starter. The Jaguars (1-2) had bigger problems — the offense and defense both failed to show — that raised questions about what’s supposed to the franchise’s most talented team in nearly a decade. T.J. Yeldon fumbled on the opening possession. Center Brandon Linder and quarterback Blake Bortles each were flagged for false starts to open drives. And the left side of Jacksonville’s revamped offensive line was mostly manhandled. “We kind of killed ourselves. We did some stupid things, really, at every position,” Bortles said. “They didn’t do necessarily anything to stop up, which is a good sign because it’s a good defense. … We were comfortable and confident in what we were doing. We just didn’t execute it and get things done.” DEBUTS Bengals: WR Brandon LaFell caught one pass in his Bengals debut. Signed in free agency to help replace Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu, LaFell also drew a pass-interference penalty that set up a score. Jaguars: Playing his first game since tearing a knee ligament last October, LT Kelvin Beachum looked rusty. And Luke Joeckel, the second overall pick in the 2013 draft, looked lost at times at LG. ROOKIE WATCH Bengals: WR Alex Erickson scored for the third straight game, stating his case to make the team. Erickson caught a 21-yard TD pass from AJ McCarron early in the third quarter. It was his second TD catch of the preseason. He also returned a punt for a touchdown. Jaguars: DE Yannick Ngakoue got the start ahead of Dante Fowler Jr., but only because the Jaguars wanted to see Ngakoue get some snaps with the first-team defense. Ngakoue finished with two tackles. POSITION BATTLES Bengals: Second-round pick WR Tyler Boyd, vying to start opposite Green, had a 9-yard reception. Jaguars: Fourth-year RB Joe Banyard ran 11 times for 54 yards, including a 7-yard TD run in the third quarter, and had his most extensive work of the preseason. Banyard and Corey Grant are competing to be the fourth-string back. INJURY UPDATE Bengals: LB Vontaze Burfict and TE Tyler Eifert were among a dozen players ruled out before the game. Jaguars: Eight players were ruled out beforehand, including DT Roy Miller, rookie DT Sheldon Day and FS Peyton Thompson. QUOTABLE Bengals: “I do feel faster this year because I feel healthier.” — Hill. Jaguars: “We played bad at every position and usually that is what happens when you play bad: you do not score a lot of points.” — Bortles. ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP_NFL

OEFFA helps new, and aspiring, farmers

wnewsj.com

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) has announced its new Begin Farming Program, which will provide aspiring and new farmers in Ohio the support they need to understand what it takes to get into farming and grow their businesses. This new program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program (BFRDP). The USDA has announced $17.8 million in grants to organizations for 37 education, mentoring, and technical assistance initiatives, included funding for OEFFA’s three-year project. “Farming is a public service. We all depend on farmers for the food we feed our families. As the farming population ages, we must invest in beginning farmers and the future of our food system,” said OEFFA Executive Director Carol Goland. Beginning farmers face significant hurdles to success, including attaining knowledge, skills, and experience in production practices; acquiring the fundamental business planning and financial management knowledge and skills required to successfully operate a viable small business; and accessing farmland and capital as part of the substantial investment farming requires. Agriculture is the largest component of Ohio’s economy, contributing more than $10 billion from crop and livestock sales in 2012. However, about 10 percent of small farmers exit agriculture each year and the current median age for farmers is 58. Increasing successful entry into farming and subsequent persistence in farming has significant impacts on the long-range sustainability of U.S. agriculture. OEFFA’s new “Growing Good Farmers, Growing Good Food” program will provide skill-building educational opportunities to facilitate beginning farmers’ development as producers and small business owners. The goal is to increase the number of successful beginning farmers who operate economically viable farms and utilize organic and sustainable production practices. The project will include on-farm apprenticeships, field days, workshops, networking opportunities, business skills training, mentoring, fact sheets, a production assistance hotline, and land access services. “This new program will allow us to comprehensively serve Ohio’s beginning farmers and help build a healthy food system that brings prosperity to family farmers, meets the growing consumer demand for local food, and safeguards the environment,” said Goland. BFRDP was authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill, receiving $100 million to be awarded over the next five years. The program was originally funded through the 2008 Farm Bill. More than 50,000 beginning farmers and ranchers have participated in projects funded by BFRDP. For more information on OEFFA, visit www.oeffa.org.

OSHP to hold local OVI checkpoint

wnewsj.com

WILMINGTON — The Ohio State Highway Patrol Wilmington Post announced that troopers will operate an OVI Checkpoint to deter and intercept impaired drivers this week. The county where the checkpoint will take place will be announced the day prior to the checkpoint, and the location will be announced the morning of the checkpoint. If you plan to consume alcohol, designate a driver or make other travel arrangements before you drink. Don’t let another life be lost for the senseless and selfish act of getting behind the wheel impaired. Operational support for the sobriety checkpoint will be provided by local law enforcement agencies. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_Ohio-State-Highway-Patrol-2.jpg

Portraiture, abstractions exhibit at Harcum

wnewsj.com

WILMINGTON — Barbara Ahlbrand describes her artwork as the product of the “heart, mind and eye and the intentional interweaving of the elements that are created by each.” Wilmington College’s Harcum Art Gallery will host an exhibit of her work Sept. 1 through Oct. 7. The exhibit opening and artist’s reception will be held Sept. 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. Normal gallery hours are weekdays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and by special arrangement by gallery curator Hal Shunk, professor of art. Ahlbrand offers her perspective and unique vision in portraiture, everyday objects and abstractions. She describes that “intentional interweaving of elements” as creating a “checks and balances enterprise” that is constantly increasing and diminishing until the truth has been realized. “My drawings and paintings are only partially my creation,” she said. “They are from my point of view and they seek to make a connection loop with the viewer.” She noted that, while her work may create some energy or make a statement, a unique synergy can occur when the viewer couples viewing her works with one’s own set of experiences. “I believe this is the truth in any creative enterprise,” she added. “These canvasses and paintings on paper address the energy of life and, through them, I explore the organization persistent in chaos. My art will constantly change.” http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_Ahlbrand-Horse-with-chain-copy.jpg

Devoted barber part of Americana

wnewsj.com

It was raining hard. The man running in the blue windbreaker and tan pants jumped a puddle on Main Street just across from the Murphy Theatre as the wind blew and the cold rain fell. Another man with an umbrella ambled just ahead of a woman who was scurrying from one building to another trying to evade the blowing downpour. The runner seemed oblivious to the rainstorm. He was an athlete. Athletes train in inclement weather. He even ran from his home in Lakewood to his barber shop in the Fife-Bosworth Building at Main and South streets from time to time. This man, however, had been out of high school for thirty years at the time. He was almost 50 years old. Blowing rain didn’t dampen the spirit of the man who had suffered a concussion while playing against the Washington Court House Blue Lions in a mid-season high school football game, and only stayed home for a week because his mother made him. The man was Dale Inwood, the longtime barber and good friend to many of us. The Fife-Bosworth Building was made for postcards. The building, built in 1872, was a perfect setting for a barber shop, with its old time character. It was a perfect fit for Dale, and Ed Adams who manned the second barber chair. When our son, Greg, was a little boy we would walk past the red, white, and blue barber pole spinning outside Dale’s shop entrance. We bounded up the stairs, and opened the doors into a world like no other. The majestic mirrors looked like they had hung in the Long Branch Saloon in an earlier time. The barber chairs were large and plush, with comfortable seats and extraordinary maneuverability. A mixture of tonic bottles lined the marble counters. We saw containers of Vitalis, Brylcreem (“A little dab with do you!”), and positioned high on the wall in the back was a large sign that said, “Ask for Wildroot.” We didn’t mind that the shop wasn’t air-conditioned. When it was hot, Dale and Ed just propped open the doors. The place smelled like a barber shop. The smell of shaving cream and talcum powder, migrating together with the smell of the Three-In-One oil that greased the clippers. The aroma of pipes, cigars, and cigarettes were common in those days, and became ingrained in the wood like incense in a church. Greg’s name for Dale was “Dale the Barber.” He would ask Dale to put a little “Butch Wax” in his hair. Although Greg didn’t get a flat-top cut, Dale always complied with good humor. Greg would watch with wide-eyed amazement as Dale placed the hot foam lather carefully around my hairline, sharpened his razor on the strap, and smoothly shaved around my ears and neck. Greg’s eyes grew bigger with each stroke of the razor. “I love when Dale the Barber massages my head after he cuts my hair,” Greg would say. I think Dale knew Greg enjoyed the extra touch and gave him a little extra attention. I remember one afternoon when Dale walked across the street to the Sheriff’s Office to see me. He was downcast. Someone had stolen his barber pole from the front of this shop. The theft was such a cruel thing to do, particularly to someone who took such pride in his profession. Not everyone has the temperament to be a barber. It is hard work. Men who sit in the chairs for a trim have interesting stories to tell, and appreciate a good listener. Like bartenders, barbers hear a myriad of stories. Politics, sports, and family were discussed openly and freely in the barber shop. The old men told the best stories, and everyone from the kid in fourth grade to the middle-aged farmer laughed at them. Dale could keep a confidence. Mike Brown, like his father Paul before him, shared inside information about the Bengals with the likable barber. A few days later we read about it in the big city newspapers. Dale also knew about the business climate and politics in Clinton County. “How do you think the election will come out?” I would ask him. Most of the time he was accurate within a few percentage points of the result. Dale was more than a barber. He was then, and remains, devoted to his church, family, and his community. He is a sensitive and caring man. He retired as a barber a few years ago. Then one day his phone rang. One of the barbers at the Oak Barber Shop needed help. Dale came out of retirement to work to help his former competitors through a difficult time. Peter Welch once wrote, “I live in a small town. Small merchants make up the majority of small businesses. It is the mom-and-pop grocers, farm-supply stores, coffee shops, and barber shops where people connect, conduct business and check in on one another.” In our small town, many checked in on each other in Dale the Barber’s shop for years. We are glad we did. Pat Haley is a Clinton County Commissioner. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_Pat-Haley-4.jpg

Browns’ Paul Kruger calls his release ‘wrong decision’

wnewsj.com

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns have plans for the future, and they don’t include Paul Kruger. Kruger was Cleveland’s most proficient pass rusher and one of its most experienced defensive players. The 30-year-old linebacker’s contract was terminated Monday by a team intent on rebuilding with youth. His departure is a big surprise given the Browns’ lack leadership on defense and that Kruger is one of the team’s most respected players. Just last week, Sashi Brown, the team’s executive vice president of football operations, said the team valued its veterans. Kruger started 46 games and made 18 sacks in three seasons for Cleveland, which signed him as a free agent in 2013 after he helped the Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl. On Twitter, Kruger thanked the Browns and wished his “teammate brothers” success but expressed his disappointment. He said the release was mishandled, calling it “unfortunate and absolutely the wrong decision.” The Browns, who played poorly in an exhibition loss to Tampa Bay on Friday, began their youth movement during the offseason by releasing linebacker Karlos Dansby, safety Donte Whitner and others. Kruger acknowledged his relief in surviving those initial cuts and wondered how long he might remain with Cleveland. Kruger had just 2 1/2 sacks last season — he had 11 in 2014 — as the Browns struggled to find the right role for him. Last week, the Browns traded linebacker Barkevious Mingo. Rookies Emmanuel Ogbah or Joe Schobert could take Kruger’s starting spot, opposite second-year linebacker Nate Orchard. The Browns also terminated the contracts of defensive end Nick Hayden and quarterback Austin Davis. The team waived incumbent kicker Travis Coons, giving Patrick Murray the starting job. Running back Glenn Winston (shoulder) and nose tackle Nile Lawrence-Stample (shoulder) were placed on injured reserve. ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP_NFL

Ladycats win suspended match with CNE 2-1

wnewsj.com

The Blanchester girls soccer team defeated Clermont Northeastern 2-1 Thursday in a game that ended prematurely because of a lighting malfunction at Barbour Memorial Field. “With 15 minutes remaining, the visitor side field lights malfunctioned and went dark, so play was suspended,” BHS coach Kurt Ballinger said. Ballinger added, “The suspended games, according to OHSAA, are complete and the final score stands. Ohio soccer rules stipulate that any time a complete half is played and conditions make it impossible to play, the game is complete and the score is final.” The result places Blanchester at 2-0 on the season. Merri Lindsey scored first giving the Ladycats a 1-0 lead. Lindsey finished off a rebound following a corner kick just five minutes into the match, Ballinger said. While Blanchester had an 11-3 advantage in shots in the first half, the Lady Rockets tied the match with 18 minutes remaining. The Ladycats responded with a goal less than two minutes later when Bekah Sams “flicked a header back post for the lead off of a Chloe Caplinger looping cross,” Ballinger said. The lights went off shortly after and the match was suspended. Regan Ostermeier had five saves for Blanchester. Ballinger said Lindsey in the midfield, and Mckenzie Hamm and Mckenzie Miller on defense played “inspired.” http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_LOGO-bhs-letter-15.jpg

BHS volleyball rallies from 0-2 to defeat East Clinton

wnewsj.com

BLANCHESTER — Rallying from a 2-0 deficit, the Blanchester volleyball team defeated East Clinton 17-25, 21-25, 25-16, 25-14, 15-13 Saturday in a non-league match at the BHS gym. “When you get down zero games to two, it’s easy to give up and not try,” BHS coach Jenna Weisflock said. “But the girls did the opposite; they fought hard and won three games in a row to pull out the win. The heart the girls showed during this match was amazing. It was a great win to come off of to start league play this week.” Shelbie Rose had 19 assists, nine digs, five perfect passes and 21 service points for the Ladycats. Shayla Sicurella had a kill, seven digs, eight perfect passes, 17 points and three aces. Morgan Oberle had seven kills, two blocks, 14 points and three aces. Ally Davis had three kills, two digs, six perfect passes, 14 points and four aces. Asia Baldwin has 12 kills, a block, 14 digs and nine points. Cheyenne Brown had two kills, a block, two digs and four points. Stephanie Gerlach had 12 digs, 15 perfect passes, seven points and three aces. On the other side of the gym, East Clinton coach Sarah Sodini credited Blanchester for the comeback “We came out strong and ready to play and then lost momentum in the third game,” said Sodini. “Blanchester came out in the third game ready to play. They played scrappy and we played sloppy. Hats off to Blanchester’s players and coach.” Logan Peterman had five aces, a kill, 10 assists and three digs for EC. Mindy Bean had nine kills and eight digs. Kenzie Campbell had an ace, two kills, four blocks and seven digs. Lacey Peterman had an ace, three kills, eight assists and a dig.

Wilmington police arrest rape suspect

wnewsj.com

WILMINGTON — The Wilmington Police Department has arrested a Minnesota man on rape charges. The suspect is Greg Willison, 37, of South Movil Road in Bimidji, Minnesota. According to WPD Chief Duane Weyand, over the last year Det. Bob Wilson has been working a reported sex offense that occurred several years ago. “The defendant in this case fled the area shortly after the alleged incident had occurred,” Weyand said. “When this sex offense occurred, the victim in the matter was less than 10 years of age.” Willison was arrested Monday and charged with rape, gross sexual imposition, and sexual battery, Weyand said. He said the rape charge carries a life specification since the victim was less than 10 years of age when the crime is alleged to have occurred. Willison is currently incarcerated in the Clinton County Jail. “This is some great work by Det. Wilson, who has worked diligently on this case for the last 14 months,” Weyand said.

Fowler plays his way off US Ryder Cup team

wnewsj.com

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Rickie Fowler lost the lead, the tournament and a guaranteed spot on the Ryder Cup team. Right when it looked as though Zach Johnson had played his way off the U.S. team, Fowler squandered a chance to earn the eighth and final automatic spot when he shot 39 on the back nine at The Barclays, capped off by two bogeys and a double bogey over his last four holes. “Very disappointing,” Fowler said. “Just made a couple bad swings at the wrong time.” Sunday was the final day for Americans to earn automatic spots on the team that will try to win the Ryder Cup back from Europe on Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 at Hazeltine at Minnesota. Five of the spots were already clinched going into The Barclays — U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, PGA champion Jimmy Walker and Ryder Cup rookie Brooks Koepka. Patrick Reed moved from No. 8 to No. 4 with his one-shot victory at Bethpage Black. Brandt Snedeker and Zach Johnson kept their spots. Johnson tied for 48th, leaving himself vulnerable for being knocked out of the top eight when Fowler had a two-shot lead early in the final round. Fowler only needed to finish alone in third to overtake Johnson, and he was two shots ahead of third place with four holes to go. That’s when it all went wrong. “I’m just trying to win the tournament,” Fowler said when asked if he knew where he stood. “If I win, then it takes care of both things. Obviously, once Patrick got a little bit of a cushion, I still wanted to get the best finish I can. “It will hurt,” Fowler said. “But it’s only going to make it better for next week. I’ll be in a good spot.” Davis Love III still has four captain’s picks over the next three weeks. He will make three of them after the BMW Championship on Sept. 12, and the final pick after the Tour Championship, which ends the Sunday before Ryder Cup week. Bubba Watson closed with a 66 and tied for 13th to move into ninth place, ahead of J.B. Holmes, Fowler and Matt Kuchar, who won the bronze medal at the Olympics. That gives the Americans two of this year’s major champions and only one rookie. Spieth, Reed, Walker and Snedeker will be playing on their second Ryder Cup team. Zach Johnson made his fourth Ryder Cup team, while Dustin Johnson is playing for the third time and Mickelson qualified on his own for the 11th time, an American record. Europe’s automatic nine spots were decided a week ago, and already there are five Ryder Cup rookies in Masters champion Danny Willett, Andy Sullivan, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Rafa Cabrera Bello and Chris Wood. European captain Darren Clarke makes his three picks Tuesday. Martin Kaymer and Lee Westwood are likely to be two of the picks, and Thomas Pieters of Belgium made a strong case to be a pick when he won in Denmark on Sunday.

CM welcomes new teachers, staff

wnewsj.com

CLARKSVILLE — When Clinton-Massie Local Schools opened the doors to begin the new school year, teachers and administrators were on hand to welcome Falcon Scholars back to the classroom, where they quickly settled in to begin the 2016-17 school year. Classrooms that sat empty over the summer quickly became hubs of activity and hands-on learning, sure to open doors to new and exciting adventures in education. It was a day filled with excitement as the most veteran of Falcons officially began their reign as Massie seniors, and it was a day filled with nervous anticipation as kindergarteners said good bye to their parents and sixth-graders and freshmen navigated new hallways trying to find their classrooms before the tardy bell rang. The Falcon teaching staff also had some newbies among its ranks as CMES welcomed Amber Boris, Melinda Hathaway, Ashli Martin, Jen Molitor, Shea Proctor, Alissa Rinke, and Samantha Webb. CMHS welcomed Kayla Brown Ward, Ronda DeBord, Kenneth Holter, Meagan Morabito, Jordan Phipps, Scott Rolf, Joy Settlemyre, and Brittany Smith. The district also welcomed support staff members Randy Campbell, Wendy Kropp, Anna Lykins, Debra Moore, Grace Poston along with specialty educational leaders and staff members Ted Custis, Robyn Donisi, Jennifer Jones, Victoria Monroe, and Rachel Sams, who work behind the scenes to serve Massie students.

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — World Wrestling Entertainment says the former star wrestler and manager Harry Fujiwara, better known as Mr. Fuji, has died at age 82. An obituary posted on WWE’s website Sunday said Fujiwara died that morning. The obituary doesn’t say where he died or list a cause of death. The WWE hasn’t responded to a request for comment from The Associated Press. Fujiwara starred as a tag team champion in the ring before shifting into a bad guy manager role in the 1980s. “Magnificent” Don Muraco, Yokozuna and George “The Animal” Steele were among those he managed. He was known for his trademark tactic of throwing salt into the eyes of opponents. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007.

Lady Hurricane doubles-up on Hillsboro 4-2

wnewsj.com

Bouncing back from a loss Saturday to Little Miami, the Wilmington High School girls soccer team defeated Miami Trace 4-2 at Alumni Field in South Central Ohio League play. “We dominated possession throughout the entire game,” WHS coach Kerry Lewis said. “Even though we gave up two goals, this was our best defensive showing thus far. Our center-backs Jenna Victor and Sophie Burt played mistake-free soccer. Our outside-backs Claire Greenlees, Ashley Tissot and Bradeanna Arehart played their best game. We really focused on getting our outside backs up the field and into space. Our backs did a great job of stepping to the ball and closing down space.” Jasmine Jamiel scored a pair of goals. Savannah Morgan and Bridgette Thompson had one goal each. Morgan, Autumn Housh and Greenlees recorded assists. “Thompson played her best game of the year at center-mid.” said Lewis. “Bridgette controlled possession and repeatedly gave us offensive opportunities. “Savannah created our best play of the year taking a pass from Jordan Snarr down the left side of the pitch and deep into their baseline. Savannah laid the ball back across the face of the goal to attacking striker Jasmine Jamiel for the easy score.” Wilmington is 2-1 in the SCOL. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_DSC_0929.jpg http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_DSC_0949.jpg

OSU’s goals remain same no matter who leaves

wnewsj.com

COLUMBUS – When Urban Meyer looks into the future he sees the past. Coaches don’t usually like to look backward but in this case it serves Meyer’s purposes. Ohio State has 16 first-time starters, which makes the Buckeyes the least experienced FBS team in college football this season. The hope is that exceptional recruiting the last few years will compensate for all the talent which walked out the door after last season, including nine underclassmen who left early to enter the NFL draft. But recruiting isn’t the only reason to think the Buckeyes can put themselves into the conversation about the College Football Playoff again, Meyer said. The recent past might provide a road map for this year’s team. “I see that potential. I think 2014 was the template that everybody wants,” Meyer said, referring to OSU’s national championship season two years ago. “J.T. Barrett was buried in the depth chart, Darron Lee, Eli Apple, Zeke Elliott, Mike Thomas — those guys were no-names, and they became very good throughout the course of 2014. And another guy, Cardale Jones, was buried in the depth chart.” All of those players except Barrett are in the NFL now. So are Vonn Bell, Taylor Decker, Braxton Miller, Jalin Marshall, Adolphus Washington, Joshua Perry, Nick Vannett, Tyis Powell and Joey Bosa, when he signs. Whether their replacements live up to the four-star and five-star rankings the recruiting analysts gave them will determine if Ohio State is able to stay at the elite level it has been on with 50 wins in 54 games in Meyer’s four seasons in Columbus. The reasons to believe 2016 is similar to 2014 start with quarterback J.T. Barrett, who is 15-2 as a starter. Barrett has the starting quarterback job to himself this year. He’s healthy and is expecting to have another season like the one he had in 2014 when he was the best quarterback in the Big Ten before he suffered a broken leg in the Michigan game. What he doesn’t have is a lot of experience around him on offense. He doesn’t have Elliott, who had back-to-back seasons of 1,878 yards and 1,821 yards rushing, which could mean OSU will throw the ball more this season. Noah Brown, expected to be the No. 1 receiver, has one career catch. And though center Pat Elflein and guard Billy Price are All-Big Ten caliber offensive linemen, the other three positions will belong to first-year starters – Jamarco Jones, Isaiah Prince and probably freshman Michael Jordan. Defensively, the line is the most experienced area, with one returning starter, Tyquan Lewis, and Sam Hubbard, who got close to starter’s minutes last year, at the ends. Linebacker Raekwon McMillan, almost certainly in his final season at OSU before heading to the NFL, and cornerback Gareon Conley are the other returning starters. Players like Chris Worley and Dante Booker at linebacker, Malik Hooker and Damon Webb at safety and cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore, Denzel Ward and Damon Arnette will get their chances to play after mostly watching from the sideline so far in their careers. Punter Cameron Johnston is one of the best in the country. Kicker Sean Nuernberger lost his job to a walk-on for much of last season before getting it back late in the season. He is 16 of 24 in his career but did not make a field goal longer than 38 yards last season. “I just like coaching this team. They’re hungry, they’re very anxious to learn,” Meyer said. Beginning this Saturday against Bowling Green, Ohio State will learn if a group of mostly inexperienced players can live up to the always big expectations at OSU. Ohio State defensive end Tyquan Lewis, one of only six returning starters for Ohio State, sacks Northern Illinois quarterback Drew Hare last season. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_Tyquan.jpg Ohio State defensive end Tyquan Lewis, one of only six returning starters for Ohio State, sacks Northern Illinois quarterback Drew Hare last season.

Strong 2nd half lifts Blanchester boys 3-1

wnewsj.com

BLANCHESTER — Dakota Penquite had five saves in goal and recorded a pair of assists as Blanchester defeated Clermont Northeastern 3-1 in a Southern Buckeye Athletic & Academic Conference National Division match at Barbour Memorial Field. Blanchester is 2-0 with both wins being SBAACN matches. The Wildcats had the greater ball possession in the first half, coach Troy Ballinger said, but the score was tied 1-1 at halftime. Nevan Coyle netted a penalty kick for the BHS goal. Jacob Burden was tripped from behind on a breakaway in the box which prompted the PK, Ballinger said. In the second half, Blanchester peppered the CNE goal but failed to score early. Finally, Ballinger said, Penquite assisted on Burden’s goal to make it 2-1 BHS. Penquite then assisted Sam Schafer on a goal to seal the win. Balllinger said the BHS defense held strong in the second half while the offense was attacking. Wesley Mitchell had two saves in goal during the second half for the Wildcats. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_LOGO-bhs-letter-14.jpg

Police: Man dies after killing neighbor at school bus stop

wnewsj.com

HOLLAND, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man who shot a couple, killing a woman, at a school bus stop amid what neighbors called a long-running feud has died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Lucas County sheriff’s office says Jimmie Pemberton died Tuesday night at a Toledo hospital, about 12 hours after he shot the couple. Investigators say Pemberton shot the couple just after they put their children on a school bus. They say he then set fire to their home and shot himself. Others who live on the street in the village of Holland say there had been a feud between Pemberton and his neighbors. Authorities say Susan Buchholz died a few hours after the shooting. Daniel Bennett was injured, but his condition hasn’t been released.

Clinton (Co.) set to welcome Trump

wnewsj.com

To register for up to two tickets to the event (first come, first serve), go to: www.donaldjtrump.com/schedule/register/wilmington-oh/. WILMINGTON — Rarely, if ever, has a Clinton welcomed a Trump with open arms. But history will be made Thursday when Clinton County rolls out the red Republican carpet for 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump. The visit was announced and tickets made available to the public Monday evening via Trump’s website. He will speak at a noon rally Thursday at the Roberts Centre; gates open at 9 a.m. “We’re absolutely thrilled that Mr. Trump is coming to Clinton County,” said Clinton County GOP Chairman Tim Inwood. “This may be Clinton County, but as he showed in the primary, it’s Trump country, as he handily carried the county.” Ensuring safety Staff at the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office met Tuesday morning with Secret Service. The local deputies will assist Secret Service in securing the Roberts Centre, said Clinton County Sheriff Ralph Fizer Jr., “to make sure everyone has a pleasant rally with hopefully no incidents.” Fizer noted this is not the first time a national candidate has held a public rally at Roberts Centre, mentioning Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and sitting Vice President Dick Cheney. In addition, Ohio Gov. John Kasich gave his annual State of the State address at the Roberts Centre in early 2015. While helping provide security at a presidential campaign rally is a big responsibility, the sheriff also can appreciate the event as an event, saying it is “neat” to have Trump visit Clinton County. Wilmington Chief of Police Duane Weyand said Tuesday that his department will be engaged in security, too. Impact on local economy Clinton County Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Debbie Stamper said it’s difficult to put a dollar figure on the local economic impact of such an event. “While the majority of attendees will drive in for the day and return home, we are keenly aware of the opportunity it presents to showcase the Roberts Centre,” Stamper said. “You never know how much future business may be cultivated. “And there will, of course, be spending at our local eateries and gas stations, another positive takeaway.” In the national spotlight “This is an exciting opportunity for the people of Wilmington and southwest Ohio to participate in the political process and hear first-hand from a presidential candidate,” said Ohio House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger, a Republican of Clarksville in Clinton County. “Ohioans probably know better than anybody the importance of the presidential election and understand just how vital Ohio is to determining the next president. Every person in Ohio holds a great deal of influence over the future direction of our country, which is a privilege that not every state can claim.” “I encourage men and women in Wilmington to attend the rally and show the entire nation the kind of spirit and enthusiasm that our city shares.” Clinton County Commissioner Mike Curry said it’s always a good thing when a national candidate visits the community and “sees what we’re about.” “It’s a good opportunity for our community to be in the spotlight again,” said Curry. He plans to be at the mid-day Thursday event. Curry declined to say how he feels about Trump as a presidential candidate. Clinton County Commissioner Patrick Haley said anytime a presidential candidate comes to Clinton County, it puts a spotlight on the local community, “which I think is a good thing for a variety of reasons.” He said he thinks Trump has run an effective anti-status quo campaign. “Many people in America feel there is a time for change, back to a more conservative philosophy, and that has broad appeal to the electorate,” said Haley. He is going to attend the rally where he anticipates a massive turnout from the region. Clinton County Commissioner Kerry Steed has registered for event tickets. He said Trump is a businessman who knows how to turn failure into success — something that Clinton Countians have had to address after devastating job losses in 2008-09. Trump “exhibits a lot of qualities we need for success in this country,” added Steed. The abilities to build businesses and serve customers and take the business risk everyday provide motivation to improve, work hard and look toward the future, he said. First-year Wilmington Mayor John Stanforth said he has been invited to be on the stage at the rally. “That was a shock,” he said. “Boy, am I glad he’s coming to Clinton County,” said Stanforth, a Republican. “He is our presidential candidate,” the mayor said, wondering aloud about members of political parties who do not get behind the party candidate after the primary elections. Two weeks in the making Inwood told the News Journal that the local Republican organization first heard about a possible local visit by Trump about two weeks ago. “He’s coming to the national American Legion convention in Cincinnati and we were given a heads up that the campaign was looking for another venue in Southwest Ohio,” Inwood said. “Clinton County was very appealing to them and we got confirmation today (Monday) that he’s coming here.” Inwood said he hasn’t been told what Trump may be speaking about, but he pointed out that “all his speeches are newsworthy.” Local reaction from all sides Within less than 24 hours of posting the story about Trump visiting Wilmington on the News Journal’s Facebook page, the story had reached more than 50,000 people with more than 700 shares. The comments on the page ranged from pro-Trump to not-so-pro-Trump: “Just printed our tickets!” — Steve Bowman “Russel Burchett and I will be there! Just got our ticket confirmation!” — Shannon Ross “I’m sure it will be astonishingly excellent.” (with smiley face) — Tim Miller “I’ll beat him to his punch line — he’s bringing DHL back.” — Scott Fitzsimmons “You couldn’t pay me to go see either candidate. lol” — Kelly Ely “Eeeeewwww …” — Kristie Cleaver Reach Tom Barr or Gary Huffenberger at 937-382-2574. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_RGB_Election-Logo-2016cmyk-2.jpg Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, shown at a veterans’ gathering earlier in the campaign, is in southwest Ohio to speak in Wilmington as well as at the national American Legion convention being held in Cincinnati. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_trump.jpeg Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, shown at a veterans’ gathering earlier in the campaign, is in southwest Ohio to speak in Wilmington as well as at the national American Legion convention being held in Cincinnati.

CM boys soccer wins first since 2014 season

wnewsj.com

ADAMS TOWNSHIP — Led by Cameron Baker’s hat trick, the Clinton-Massie boys soccer team won its first match since the 2014 season Tuesday over Hillsboro, 3-2, at Frank Irelan Field. The win also was the first in the varsity coaching career of CM coach Tom Henderson. Baker scored three goals while Zach Hammonds added two assists and Aaron Joyner had one assist. Joe Hammonds made eight saves in goal for Clinton-Massie. “We put a lot of pressure on them throughout the game,” Henderson said. “(We had) something like 18 shots on net. Cam (Baker) got himself in great position to put some nice finishes on the board off of some good ball movement from his teammates.” http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_LOGO-cm-letter-19.jpg

Farm Science Review: Something for everyone

wnewsj.com

Last week I started highlighting the Farm Science Review, you know that huge farm event that is held up toward London, Ohio at the Ohio State Molly Caren Farm. There is literally something for everyone at this event, not just farmers. This week I want to highlight the Gwynne Conservation area of the review. There are always lots of sessions each year at the Gwynne that focus on natural resources and more. One of the focus topics will deal with chainsaw safety. The series of talks called “Chainsaw Safety and Maintenance” will be given three times throughout the Review: Sept. 20 and 21 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.; and on Sept. 22 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. There will also be talks on woods and wildlife and so much more. Many of the topics presented in the Gwynne Conservation area will focus on conservation topics of interest to farmers and others, including trees, pastures, grasslands, wetlands, wildlife, insects, water and fish. Here is just a few detailed programs during the farm Science Review: • Dave Apsley of OSU Extension, the college’s outreach arm, and Bob Mulligan of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources will present “Things You Should Consider Before Selling Your Timber” from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Sept. 20 and at the same time Sept. 21. • Joe Boggs of OSU Extension will give a “Zika Virus Update for Ohio” from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Sept. 20. • Marne Titchenell of OSU Extension will discuss “Attracting Songbirds to Your Property” from 2:30 to 3 p.m. Sept. 20. • Bill Lynch, who’s retired from OSU Extension, will look at “Fish Stocking in Ponds” from 10:30 to 11 a.m. and “Stormwater Ponds” from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., both on Sept. 21. • Brian Kleinke and Matt Smith, both of OSU Extension, will talk about hydroponics and aquaponics in back-to-back sessions from 2 to 3 p.m. Sept. 21. • Chris Penrose of OSU Extension will explain “Managing Nutrients on Pasture” from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Sept. 22. • Kathy Smith from Ohio State will lead a “Tree ID Walk” from 11 a.m. to noon Sept. 22. Other topics will include composting, pollinators, pond aeration, invasive species, wildlife “night sounds,” deer exclusion fencing and grazing warm-season grasses. A complete schedule of all the Gwynne talks is at go.osu.edu/2016Gwynne. Anne Dorance, OSU Plant Pathologist warns producers of soybeans what diseases to be on the lookout for: Sudden death syndrome: Sudden death syndrome (SDS) is a fungal disease of soybean and is limited to a few locations in Ohio. These fields where SDS occurs in Ohio, also have high SCN populations. After the rains last week, it may be possible to observe the signs of the pathogen on the tap roots, with the formation of pale blue to blue green conidia. This fungus produces a toxin which is why the leaves have the irregular shaped yellow spots forming between the veins which turn necrotic and eventually cause early defoliation of the plants. The internal tissue of the stem, the pith is white – compared to brown stem rot which is brown. Severity of infection, timing of disease onset, SCN population numbers all contribute to the amount of yield loss that will occur. White mold or Sclerotinia stem rot: First plants dying from Sclerotinia stem rot were reported last week. Even with the dry weather during flowering, infection did occur. As you recall we had many cool nights in early July and heavy dews, so my hunch is that contributed to the favorable environments. Sclerotinia is another fungal pathogen that infects the old and dying flowers. This fungus secretes an acid which degrades the tissue, sometimes appears water soaked on the stems and then the fungus just takes off, becomes very white and fluffy on the stems. It will then form hard black – irregular shaped sclerotia which serve as the survival structures and can be easily moved around the farm on equipment. Diaporthe Stem canker: This is one that we have not observed in Ohio very often. Again this is a truck stopper as you drive by fields and see that the tops are dying back too early. This fungus also infects plants at the third or fourth node and basically girdles the plants. Infections occurred when the plants were in the early vegetative stages and has been “hanging out” waiting for the plant to move into the final growth stages. The key difference between this and Phytophthora is that the plant will be green, no internal infection in the lower 3 nodes = whereas with Phytophthora stem rot on highly susceptible varieties, the plant is colonized from the base of the plant up the stem. Phytophthora stem rot: I can’t leave this one out as there are some soybean varieties that do not have the full resistance package we need for Ohio fields. After the rains over last weekend and off and on last week, stem rot is showing up in the fields that were saturated. Plants will turn yellow and wilt, leaves will cling to the plants as it is dying. Again, on susceptible varieties, the chocolate brown canker will be moving up the stem. Variety selection is key to managing all of these late season diseases. Begin to scout your fields, if you find one of these – make note of that variety and make sure to make a change. Do not plant the same variety in the same field as you now know that you have inoculum in that field. Tony Nye is the state coordinator for the Ohio State University Extension Small Farm Program and has been an OSU Extension Educator for agriculture and natural resources for 28 years, currently serving Clinton County and the Miami Valley EERA. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_Tony-Nye.jpg

What to watch Monday at US Open: Djokovic, Nadal left wrists

wnewsj.com

NEW YORK (AP) — All eyes will be on a very important pair of left wrists during Day 1 of the U.S. Open — those belonging to Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Defending champion Djokovic, a righty, uses his secondary arm for a two-handed backhand. Nadal, of course, is a lefty who relies on that wing for his heavy topspin forehand that is among the best strokes in the game. How each man looks as he begins a bid for a third career title at Flushing Meadows will be one of the main things to watch Monday at the year’s last Grand Slam tournament. The fourth-seeded Nadal, who beat Djokovic in the 2010 and 2013 finals, plays during the day session in Arthur Ashe Stadium against Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan. Nadal has won all four of their previous matchups, taking 10 of 11 sets. Nadal missed 2 1/2 months because of a problem with the tendon sheath in his wrist, pulling out of the French Open before the third round, then skipping Wimbledon altogether. He returned at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics this month, losing to Kei Nishikori in the bronze-medal match in singles and winning a gold medal in doubles with Marc Lopez. While he said he’s feeling better day by day, Nadal also acknowledged “the wrist still bothers me a little bit.” The No. 1-seeded Djokovic, who defeated Nadal in the 2011 U.S. Open final and Roger Federer for last year’s title, said his wrist began bothering him shortly before the start of the Rio Games, where he lost in the first round. He then withdrew from the Cincinnati Masters. Djokovic practiced on Ashe on Sunday evening, with coach Boris Becker observing, and seemed to be hitting backhands without a hitch. What really matters is how Djokovic does under the lights Monday night against Jerzy Janowicz of Poland, a 2013 Wimbledon semifinalist whose career has been derailed by injuries and who entered the U.S. Open main draw via a protected ranking. They’ve never played each other. Here is what else to watch Monday at the U.S. Open: ROOF’S DEBUT: Not that it’s any guarantee, but the forecast does not call for any rain. Still, even if the weather is dry, the new $150 million retractable roof atop the tournament’s main arena will make a debut of sorts: The U.S. Tennis Association plans to shut the structure after the day session, then open it while Phil Collins performs “In the Air Tonight” during the opening-night ceremony. OH, BROTHER: American siblings Ryan and Christian Harrison are the first brothers to get into the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament by both qualifying since at least 1982. The 120th-ranked Ryan — at 24, he’s 2 years older than the 694th-ranked Christian — faces France’s 54th-ranked Adrian Mannarino on Monday. Christian is scheduled to play Tuesday. U.S. CONTINGENT: The Harrisons are two of the half-dozen players from the United States who qualified, helping raise the country’s total representation to 39 players (22 women, 17 men), the most in the U.S. Open since there were 40 in 2005. Monday’s schedule includes these all-American matches: No. 8 Madison Keys vs. Alison Riske on Ashe at night, No. 20 John Isner vs. Frances Tiafoe, No. 26 Jack Sock vs. 18-year-old Taylor Fritz, and Madison Brengle vs. Kayla Day. REMEMBER VINCI?: A year ago, Roberta Vinci was ranked 43rd, unseeded at the U.S. Open and author of one of the biggest upsets in tennis history, ending Serena Williams’ bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam by beating her in the semifinals. Seeded No. 7 this time, Italy’s Vinci returns to the site of her only major final, opening play in Ashe on Monday morning against Anna-Lena Friedsam. Following her on that court will be No. 2 Angelique Kerber, the Australian Open champion and Wimbledon runner-up, against Polona Hercog.

Connecting education to workforce

wnewsj.com

By this point in August, most, if not all, students have returned to school, eager and nervous to start the year off right. From kindergarteners to freshmen college students, education is an issue that permeates all ages and all aspects of Ohio’s economic well-being. An education that focuses on fundamental courses and that allows for exploration and career development through middle and high school will ensure both a student’s personal success and industry growth throughout the state. The state legislature has been working on strengthening the connection between education and the workforce. Our goals have been to not only fill jobs in industries that are struggling to find candidates with the proper certifications, such as manufacturing and welding, but to also create alternative pathways for school-age children to discover a fulfilling career that they may not have originally thought was for them. With many young adults graduating from traditional four-year universities with thousands of dollars of debt and sometimes limited job opportunities, we have worked to develop policies that will help solve this issue and educate students on the various higher education options available that can lead to good paying careers. Through the passage of the state’s biennial budget, a provision was included that directly addresses the gap between education and the workforce. This provision creates the Higher Education Workforce Grant Program, which is designed to incentivize students to pursue degrees or certifications that match the in-demand jobs in the state of Ohio. The program awards grants to eligible students who are earning such certifications for these needed jobs. Additionally, for students that decide to pursue the traditional two or four-year college education, the budget bill froze tuition rates at state colleges and universities, keeping costs down for college students. A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to speak at an event that epitomizes everything the legislature has been working towards in regards to workforce development, the 2016 Bold Fusion Summit, hosted by the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce. This summit is the region’s largest annual convergence of young professionals, where young minds come together to learn about entrepreneurship how to advance their career. The gathering provides students and recent graduates with the opportunity to discuss different methods and discover what works best for them when finding or developing a career. As you or your children head back to school this month, I hope you will take a moment to think about the future and maybe take a chance to learn what education and career choices will work best for you and your family. There is a wealth of opportunities available, and as we strive to diversify the workforce, Ohio will continue into the future with much success. Ohio House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger (R-Clarksville) represents the 91st District, which includes Clinton County. http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_Cliff-Rosenberger.jpg

Endwell, New York, wins Little League World Series

wnewsj.com

Associated Press Eds: Endwell, New York 2, South Korea 1. Updates with new lead. With AP Photos. SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — As Ryan Harlost stepped to the mound on Sunday, he took it all in. Chants of “U-S-A, U-S-A!” droned over his left shoulder as he dipped it to deliver a warm-up pitch. South Korean arms and flags waved furiously to his right. Little kids who asked for his autograph earlier in the week used makeshift sleds to slide down the hill toward most of the 22,000-plus fans who packed Lamade Stadium. The Endwell, New York, pitcher admitted it made him uneasy. He sure didn’t show it. Harlost led New York to the Little League World Series title, striking out eight and limiting South Korea to five hits in six innings in a 2-1 victory. He scored the deciding run on a passed ball in the fourth inning. “I was a little nervous at first in front of a lot of people but it’s just another game and I felt confident going in,” Harlost said. But it was more than just another game. Endwell snapped a five-year championship drought for U.S. teams on Little League’s biggest stage and gave New York its first title since 1964. Huntington Beach, California, won in 2011 and Mid Island from Staten Island won New York’s last World Series championship. Conner Rush had the New York team’s only RBI to give Endwell a lead it wouldn’t relinquish in the bottom of the fourth. Harlost (2-0) scored the deciding run on a passed ball a batter later. “I was just thinking get it in play any way you can,” Rush said. “Once that happens, you never know what can happen.” For a while, it didn’t look like New York hitters would be able to hit anything. Junho Jeong (1-2) gave up two runs on four hits and struck out nine for South Korea (4-2). He was unflappable for most of the afternoon, working the outside of the plate masterfully for 3 1/3 innings of no-hit ball before Jude Abbadessa broke through in the fourth. Waking to the plate as Endwell fans along the first base side bellowed “Juuude!” Abbadessa broke up the righty’s no-hit bid with a single to center. Harlost followed with a liner to the same spot and Rush plated the go-ahead run with a hit that fell in behind the shortstop. Harlost raced home to give New York a 2-0 lead one batter later. “It’s just been amazing,” Abbadessa said. “Just coming here would be amazing and then our team doing well is even more amazing. It’s been fun the whole week and we’re glad that it turned out this way.” Yoomin Lee homered for the Asia-Pacific champs from Seoul to halve New York’s lead in the fifth. Harlost’s precision and a stingy New York defense prevented further damage. In the second, right fielder James Fellows made a running grab at the warning track to rob Sangheon Park of an extra base hit. With a runner on first an inning later, Harlost snagged a hard-hit liner at the mound, tossed to first to get the putout and escape the third unscathed. Later in the fifth after Yoomin’s blast halved the score, Abbadessa scooped up a grounder that took an awkward bounce and threw to first for final out of the inning. “The Mid-Atlantic team is a really good defensive team,” South Korean manager Heesu Ji said. “I’m really proud of my team.” Minho Choi struck out with runners on first and second to end the game. Harlost turned toward his dugout on the first-base side but didn’t make it there as his teammates rushed out to dogpile on him near the base line. Most of New York’s players had been on other teams together before. More than half of them were on the team that fell to last year’s World Series runner-up Red Land in the Mid-Atlantic Region Championship, leaving them one win shy of qualifying for a trip to South Williamsport. “It was all of our last years of Little League,” Rush said. “So it’s just awesome to know that we all came together to be the best team in the world.”

Cider Keg Cliffhanger: CM-Blan to resume tonight

wnewsj.com

BLANCHESTER — The last scheduled Cider Keg game was such a huge affair, one night couldn’t hold it. Mother nature decided to bring an end to the proceedings Friday, as lightning postponed the game with Clinton-Massie leading Blanchester 20-16 at halftime. The game will resume 7:30 p.m. tonight with the start of the third quarter. There will be no admission charged Saturday night, according to Blanchester Athletic Director Bryan Pennix. It was a frustrating night for both coaching staffs, who will have the night to watch game film and make adjustments prior to Saturday’s resumption. “There’s no weather around for 20, 30 miles,” CM Head Coach Dan McSurley said. “There’s heat lightning, it’s frustrating. We’re going to have to make the best of it, come back at 7:30 and play the second half.” McSurley said the energy level of the resumption will be intense. “(Blan) is right in it,” McSurley said. “It’s a dogfight right now. They’re going to get the ball on the kickoff and we’ve got a couple kids banged up. We’re going to have to come to play. It’s going to be World War III as far as I’m concerned. “They’re going to come with the same attitude. They’re going to come with a lot of intensity. Right now, it’s 0-0, so it’s one half of football.” For new BHS Head Coach Brandon Sammons, his debut game will last a bit longer than anticipated. “The kids came out, we feel like they’re on the right page,” Sammons said. “They’re competing. They’re doing the things we want them to do. The question is can we come back (Saturday) and channel it all back up again, harness that energy and finish it off.” Sammons and his staff will be breaking down film and discussing how they’ll approach Saturday’s second half. “It gives us more time to ponder and think, second guess ourselves,” Sammons said. “Try and figure out what we need to do differently … all those variables that you start to drive yourself crazy with. “We’re going to try to focus on what we can fix, talk about what we messed up, see where the kids’ heads are, and go with the gameplan we still have.” On a night that marked at least the end of a rivalry game, and the start of a new era at Blanchester, it wasn’t just the clouds from a distant storm producing fireworks. Two early Clinton-Massie turnovers allowed Blanchester to set up for its first score. After taking over at the Falcon 18, and gaining just two yards, Dakota Penquite easily converted a 33-yard field goal to give BHS a 3-0 lead with 6:20 left in the first. The Falcons answered with a traditional Clinton-Massie drive. A 14-play, 69-yard drive ended with a 3-yard Jaycob Wolf touchdown run. Clinton-Massie led 7-3 after one quarter. On the first play of the second quarter, lightning struck for the Wildcat offense. Faced with a 3rd and 12 from its own 18, Tristan Greene rolled left and heaved it for Nick Hopkins. Hopkins caught it near midfield, shook a defender and ran the rest of the 82 yards for the touchdown. Leading 10-7, Blanchester’s defense forced a three-and-out on the next Falcon series. Blanchester would be pinned inside its own 9 after the punt. After gaining three yards, Blan would put. Greene would bobble the snap, and would be tacked at his own 2. One play later, Wolf covered the two yards to put the Falcons back on top 14-10 with 8:27 left in the half. Massie’s lead lasted four plays. On 2nd and 10 from the 34, Greene hit Quenton Miller on a slant pass, and he took off. The 66-yard pass-and-catch put Blanchester in the lead again at 16-14. “We broke down in the secondary a couple times and gave up those big plays,” McSurley said. “What is unfortunate is it was after some long drives by us. When you have an opportunity to step on their throat, boom, they come back with a big play.” Clinton-Massie would need three offensive plays to take the lead back. Devon O’Bryon got to the outside on a keeper and sprinted 54 yards. A rare Chris Demler miss kept the score 20-16 with 6:07 left in the half. An interception with 3:19 left in the first half appeared to give the Falcons one more chance to score before the half. However, a Brad Hunt fumble with 2:11 left at the Blanchester 26 allowed the half to end at 20-16. At 8:09 p.m., just as the half ended, lightning was spotted by game officials. Barbour Memorial Field was evacuated as the lightning continued. At 9:06 p.m., the game was officially postponed.

Cincinnati sees estimated 78 heroin overdoses in 2 days

wnewsj.com

CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati police are asking for the public’s help in trying to identify the source of the suspected heroin behind an estimated 78 overdoses in just two days. Meanwhile, Hamilton County officials say they will seek funding for treatment and expanded response teams. County officials are calling the latest onslaught of overdose cases a public health emergency, and county Health Commissioner Tim Ingram says the number of emergency-room incidents over the last six days was “unprecedented.” Emergency rooms estimate they had 174 suspected opioid overdose cases this week, including three deaths. Last year, accidental drug overdoses killed 3,050 people in Ohio, an average of eight per day, state officials say. Cincinnati City Manager Harry Black said authorities suspect carfentanil, a drug used to sedate elephants and other large animals, may be mixed in with heroin and causing the overdoses. The drug is 100 times more potent than fentanyl, which is suspected in spates of overdoses in several states. Last month, carfentanil was discovered in the Cincinnati area’s heroin stream, but many hospitals don’t have the equipment to test blood for the previously uncommon animal opioid. County Commissioner Dennis Deters said Thursday the expanded teams would include a law enforcement officer, an emergency responder and a specialist who could treat people who’ve overdosed. He said the cost of the beefed-up program hasn’t been determined yet. Nan Franks of the Addiction Services Council of Cincinnati noted that Cincinnati currently doesn’t have enough places to treat the rising number of drug users who seek help. “People overwhelmingly want help,” she said. “But we have to have a place to take them.”

WHS boys soccer trips Trace 3-1

wnewsj.com

The Wilmington High School boys soccer team defeated Miami Trace 3-1 Tuesday in a South Central Ohio League match at Alumni Field. The win puts the Hurricane at 3-1 on the year. Sam Spirk had two goals and Charly Schumacher added one. Wyatt Kessler had two assists and Brady Henry had one. Jalen Douglas made five saves in goal for WHS. “We really had to grind out this win,” said WHS coach Imad El-Macharrafie. “We came out a bit loose and the game plan wasn’t executed right away. Eventually we were able to get our groove together.” Miami Trace scored a second half goal but Wilmington maintained control. “What impressed us coaches was the adaptability of our team,” El-Macharrafie said. “We have guys who are beginning to counter very well to the oppositions play; including those guys who come off the bench. When you can use your depth to create energy and not lose ball skill or ‘know how’ you become a better team instantly.” http://wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_LOGO-whs-letter-12.jpg
