Archaeologists excavating in the Hamadan province of Iran have made an astonishing discovery - the remains of an ancient underground city.The excavation site is located close to the city of Samen, in Iran's Hamadan province. It is located some 400 km from the Iranian capital, Tehran.The city consists of underground tunnels connecting at least 25 rooms. Archaeologists have discovered the remains of 60 people in nine rooms, and are still working on excavating the rest of the site.Ali Khaksar, head of Iran's Organization of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism in Hamadan province, told Khabar Agency, a media outlet, that the underground settlement is believed to be around 2,000 years old.The discovery is one of several exciting finds by Iranian archaeologists in recent months. Last month, archaeologists discovered underground living quarters carved into a mountain in central Iran dating back to the 12th century.In February, an excavation in southern Iran led to the discovery of an ancient observatory which is believed to date back to the reign of the Sassanian dynasty from 224 to 651 CE.

Extending over an area of 131,575sq.kms., Yazd Province is situated in the central plateau of Iran on the periphery of Lut Desert which boasts both hot and cool climate. Its hot summer days are made moderate by coolness of the night breeze. The twinkling of the stars adds to the beauty of the dark nights of the desert.
Yazd has 11 townships, 23 towns, 20 districts and 51 villages. It borders Semnan Province to the northwest, Isfahan Province to the west, Fars Province to the south and southwest, Khorasan Razavi Province to the northeast, South Khorasan Province to the east and Kerman Province to the east and southeast.
In terms of natural geography, Kavir-e Zarrin is the lowest spot with an altitude of 666 meters, while Shirkouh Mountain, situated in Taft, is the highest place whose elevation reaches 4,075 meters.
The most important aquifers of Yazd include the plains from Shirkouh foothills to Mehriz plains, Yazd and Ardakan. The water is used for agricultural and gardening as well as drinking and industrial uses in Mehriz, Yazd, Sadouq, Meybod, Ardakan and Taft. Exploitation of the aquifers has primarily been in the form of numerous aqueducts, but it is currently done through aqueducts and deep wells. There are 2,949 aqueducts in Yazd Province, the overall length of which is estimated to be 2,663.4km. With a total number of 1,473 aqueducts (about 924.6km), Taft township has the highest number of aqueducts in the province. Among the oldest aqueducts of Yazd Province, one can name Firoozabad-Majomerd, Abshoor, Yaqoubi, and Dehabad. Other important aqueducts of the province are Qanat-e Zarch, Vaqfabad, Qanatabad, Ahrestan, Qanat-e Ghiasabad, Qanat-e Taft, and Qanat-e Nassiri. The longest aqueduct of the province is Qanat-e Zarch, originating from mountains to the south of Mehriz and ending in Zarch. It is noteworthy that the history of aqueducts in Iran dates back to 3,000 years and they are known as one of the wonders of the world.
Aqueduct ― a phenomenon originated from the creative minds of Iranians ― has constantly been developed. Aqueduct forms the foundation and base for emergence, development and survival of cities and villages. Evidence shows that with 31,000 aqueducts, Iran is the cradle of aqueduct civilization and Yazd is the outstanding center of this culture.
Situated on the periphery of the desert, Yazd has dry and cold climate. Yazd is divided into three climatic desert areas, mountainous and semi-mountainous, and plain and desert areas. The average rainfall in Yazd fluctuates between 160mm and 210mm. The rainfall usually occurs in higher locations and as we proceed closer to the plains, the rainfall gets to its minimum which is about 50mm. Kavir-e Siakouh, Kavir-e Rig-e Zarrin and Darreh Anjir have the minimum rainfall in the province.
The mountains, deserts and the plains — together with the unbearable heat ― form the unique natural and tourism potentials of the province. The vast expanse of desert with the brilliant sunshine ― together with the beauty of stars ― and the high mountains with their long caves and constant springs attract every visitor leaving an unforgettable memory of the desert in his/her mind. The sand dunes and hills, the height of which can reach 100m, create dazzling perspectives together with the wild flowers growing there.
People of Yazd city are of Aryan race, and rarely have mixed with non-Iranian races due to the geographical location and historical background. The population of Yazd is over 1,060,000. The religion of the people is Islam and their sect is Ja'fari. Other minorities such as Zoroastrians, Jews and Christians coexist in peace in Yazd and speak their ancestors' languages. The name of the city originates from its history. Yazd is a word originating from ancient words.
The cultural potentials and historical monuments as well as adobe, mud-brick and other construction materials ― used in the desert area of the province ― are as follows:
Mosques, caves, springs, underground watercourses (qanats), wind towers, the narrow alleys known as friendship alleys, knocker and closing ring, handicrafts, tile making, gardens, fire temple, Silent Towers, ancient mansions, Kamal Synagogue, bazaars, towers, fortresses, watermills, holy shrines, pigeon towers, caravanserais, the adobe ice houses, citadels, traditional hotels, traditional bathhouses, the protected areas, the Zoroastrian pilgrim sites, rock paintings on Ernan Mountain, 4,000-year-old cypress tree, Mount Eagle, the historical texture of Kharanaq, the Zoroastrians' pilgrimage site of Chak Chak, potteries and ceramics, Taft Observatory, Alexander Prison and famous Yazdi sweets like 'baqlava'.

California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom is worried that Democrats may be taking the so-called “big blue wave” in November for granted.
In fact, the California gubernatorial frontrunner reportedly said on Tuesday that he does not see any evidence of a monster November blue wave, even in the bluest of blue states.
When reporters asked him about the potential for a “big blue wave” in November, Newsom, according to Politico, replied: “I don’t see evidence of that. … In California, we kind of feel like we’ve got this. It’s a big blue state and in some respects, I think we kind of take things for granted at times.”
Democrats are looking to pick up key House seats in the Golden State to take back the House, but the party has become increasingly concerned that Democrats may not even get a candidate on the November ballot in three key Orange County Congressional Districts (39th, 48th, 49th) because of California’s top-two “jungle primary” system.
Left-wing groups have reportedly spent millions in the last weeks in Orange County to try to prevent what could be a “catastrophe” for Democrats.
Though Democrats may have some momentum in some local races, the party’s huge lead on the generic ballot has all but disappeared in recent months. A CNN poll this month found that Democrats only had a three-point advantage on the generic ballot. And for one week in May (the week ending May 20), Republicans actually had a six-point advantage over Democrats on the generic ballot in Reuters’ tracking poll.

Per a new public poll issued by the Angus Reid Institute, Canadians are split right down the middle when it comes to the federal government’s decision to purchase the proposed TransMountain pipeline project. (Black Press files)
Twinning the B.C. section of the Trans Mountain pipeline will begin in the North Thompson by this fall, the company says in its latest six-month work schedule filed to the National Energy Board.
Work is underway along the entire line from Edmonton to Burnaby to set up temporary construction yards and camps with worker accommodation and construction offices, as well as pipe stockpile sites in Valemount, Blue River, Clearwater, Merritt and Hope.
Work is scheduled to begin in September to clear and survey a 120 km section of pipeline route between Mt. Robson Provincial Park and Blue River, connecting to a longer section between Edmonton and Jasper National Park in Alberta.
Work includes wildlife surveys, weed control and relocation of rare plants to comply with the 157 conditions required by the NEB and a further 37 conditions in the B.C. government’s environmental certificate. Despite federal and provincial approvals and what the company calls “unprecedented scrutiny,” the project continues to be dogged by orchestrated protests.

Spending on the project has resumed after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced in May the federal government is buying the project assets for $4.5 billion, to ensure the twinning of the 65-year-old pipeline that delivers synthetic heavy crude and refined fuels from the Alberta oil sands to B.C. and Washington state refineries.
Kinder Morgan Canada negotiated the sale after setting a deadline of late May to have assurances that the project would proceed without interference from the B.C. government.
Work continues this summer on expansion of the Sumas terminal at Abbotsford, Burnaby terminal and Westridge marine terminal, which includes a tunnel through a portion of Burnaby Mountain.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley will give a speech about the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in the community where the Kinder Morgan project originates.
Notley will speak at the Sherwood Park & District Chamber of Commerce to reinforce the government’s commitment to the project.
The $7.4-billion project would triple the capacity of the existing line from Strathcona County to Burnaby, to get more oil to overseas markets and fetch a better price.
The tension between Alberta and B.C. over the line remains high, as B.C. Premier John Horgan’s government continues to try to block the already green-lit expansion, which Notley says “will be built.”
READ MORE: Alberta move to cut energy shipments expected to hit more than B.C. fuel prices
The project was approved by the federal government in 2016 but has since faced court challenges and permit delays in B.C. Horgan’s government says it still has concerns over the impact of the expansion on the potential for oil spills in its waterways and on its coastline.
READ MORE: Support for the Trans Mountain expansion grows amidst pipeline dispute
Horgan’s opposition to Trans Mountain is rooted, in part, in the fact that his NDP government depends on the support of the Green Party, which opposes the project. This opposition is the main reason Kinder Morgan put the brakes on non-essential funding for the project earlier this month.
Kinder Morgan announced April 8 it was scaling back construction, citing obstruction by B.C. that put the financial viability of the pipeline in question. It gave a deadline of May 31 for a clear signal the project can get built.

Earlier this month, Horgan and Notley met in Ottawa with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Trudeau has said Ottawa will join talks with Alberta and Kinder Morgan to work out a financing arrangement to ensure the project gets built.

Question: Goons rough up hospital staff

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

MIRPURKHAS - A sense of insecurity has gripped the doctors and paramedics of Civil Hospital after hundreds of armed youth forced their entry into the hospital in support of some miscreants who had a verbal clash with district health officer (DHO) over the parking of bikes in Peds Ward.
DHO Dr Anwer Ali Palari, who has an additional charge of civil surgeon, was on a round of the hospital along with his colleagues late Tuesday night when some miscreants exchanged hot words with him and Cardiologist/Additional Medical Superintendent Dr Akram Sultan when they objected to the parking of bikes in Peds Ward.
After sometime, hundreds of unknown armed youth stormed into the hospital. They surrounded the hospital, and created law and order problem by manhandling both of them. They also threw stones at the doors and windows of wards and used abusive language.
Panicked by the situation, several doctors and paramedical staff came out of their wards. After learning about the incident, heavy contingents of police arrived at the hospital to cool down the situation.
Later, police forced the miscreants to settle the dispute with the officers after which the miscreants dispersed.
Later, talking to this correspondent Dr Anwer Ali Palari and Dr Akram Sultan said that they would register a case against these persons for creating hurdles in official duty and damaging the government property.
They alleged that the attackers belonged to a land mafia, which had hurled threats at them in the past too.

Question: Barton preaches defence spending, but Sajjan says Ottawa spent $2.3B too little

represent this text to find a news title for it

OTTAWA — The federal government spent $2.3 billion less than originally planned last year on new military gear, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan revealed Wednesday, even as a prominent economic adviser to the Liberals sang the praises of investing in the defence sector.
The spending shortage, which will require Canada's military to continue to use some equipment longer than expected, means the government is already losing ground on the promise it made last year to invest $62 billion in the Forces over the next 20 years.
The mixed messages came during the first day of the two-day Cansec gathering in Ottawa, Canada's largest annual arms show, where officials from the world's biggest defence companies descend on the national capital to pitch their wares to the government and military.
Sajjan kicked off the event with an update on the Liberal government's new defence policy — a blueprint that details the specific equipment the military intends to buy over the next five years.
Many companies had been eagerly waiting to see which of the dozens of projects included in the multibillion-dollar defence policy were considered a priority and which were being put on the back burner.
What they heard instead was that the ambitious Liberal plan to ramp up spending got off to a slower start than expected: where Ottawa had planned to spend $6.2 billion last year, figures published with the defence policy show, they only managed to get $3.9 billion out the door.
Sajjan played down the discrepancy, saying a portion of the unspent money represented savings that the government was able to find on some projects, while others were the result of companies not fulfilling their obligations.
But he also admitted later that for some projects, "we weren't able to get it to the level we wanted. We're improving on that and things have improved drastically for this. It will improve as time goes on."
Defence companies won't be the only ones hoping Sajjan is right.
One of the government's most influential economic advisers told a luncheon audience that Canada's defence industry will be critical to sparking innovation and ensuring the country's prosperity over the long term.

Good morning,
Recently we tried to assess the health of the press galleries in Canada's provincial legislatures. As promised, here's more in that series.
First, the territories. We spoke to journalists and communications staff at the legislatures in Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut and we were told there are usually four legislative reporters in each place. That's on par with many provinces.
Story continues below advertisement
Now on to coverage of municipalities – with some caveats. Unlike legislatures, most of Canada's city halls do not have formal press galleries. There is no list of people who have accreditation. For most cities, the only way to know is by keeping an eye on how many reporters show up to council meetings on a regular basis. So there is some guesswork involved. For that reason, we're not going to publish exact numbers of reporters who cover each city hall full-time, but we're going to show ranges. (With one exception.) Population numbers are sourced from Statistics Canada based on census areas, which don't always map exactly to a city's boundaries. And this is just a sampling of municipalities across the country – we did not count every single one.
And now on to the data...
Twenty-two reporters
Toronto, Ont. (population: 2.7 million). Note: Toronto is the only city we found with a formal press gallery.
About a dozen reporters
Hamilton, Ont. (population: 537,000).
Ottawa (population: 934,000).

Winnipeg (population: 705,000).

Finance Minister Bill Morneau's council of outside economic advisers says the government should spend $15-billion retraining workers as part of adapting to technological disruption of the economy. "Canada must be prepared to navigate this change and volatility. It can no longer rely on the old formula for economic growth, which emphasized investments in machinery and equipment, and population growth," the report says.
Mr. Morneau insists that the Liberals have no plans for a Netflix tax as part of their cultural policy moving forward. Quebec has said that it will enact a levy on foreign online businesses if the federal government won't.
Provincial finance ministers, who are in Ottawa to meet with Mr. Morneau, say they want a higher share of the revenue that will come from legalizing marijuana.
Pierre Legault, a veteran government lawyer, has been nominated by the Prime Minister to be the watchdog for the Senate.
The House of Commons is working to get more simultaneous translation for Indigenous languages.
Voters in four provinces are casting ballots today in federal by-elections. The by-elections are in B.C.'s South Surrey-White Rock, the Newfoundland riding of Bonavista-Burin Trinity, Saskatchewan's Battlefords-Lloydminster, and east Toronto's Scarborough-Agincourt. The Surrey race has stood out as particularly competitive, with the Liberal and Conservative leaders both stopping by to campaign.
Alberta United Conservative Party Leader and former federal cabinet minister Jason Kenney is "cautiously optimistic" that he will win his provincial by-election on Thursday this week. He's not the only party leader running for the open seat in Calgary-Lougheed. Alberta Liberal Leader David Khan and Green Leader Romy Tittel are also vying to be the MLA for the riding.
B.C. Premier John Horgan will announce today whether his government will kill the Site C dam. The New Democrats came to power earlier this year on a promise to review the $8.8-billion project, and their power-sharing partners in the Green Party want the dam scrapped. But the government has been facing pressure to keep the massive construction project – and the associated jobs – while also worrying about the financial impact of killing the dam, which would mean writing off $4-billion that's already been spent.
The Site C dam's future could hinge in part on the positions of nearby First Nations; two oppose the project, while others have signed benefits agreement. The role those communities have in the government's decision has been shaped by a landmark Supreme Court of Canada ruling issued 20 years ago today. The Delgamuukw case confirmed Indigenous peoples have valid claims to ancestral lands and introduced the requirement for consent to resource development.
And Canadian energy firms are taking issue with the White House's decision to push coal energy and nuclear power.
Campbell Clark (The Globe and Mail) on the Liberal cabinet: "There are now a lot of scuff marks. Mr. Sajjan isn't hobbled running defence, but he's less valuable in selling the not-quite-as-advertized Liberal defence policy. Ms. Joly is no longer a glamorous representative in Quebec. Mr. Morneau will not be effective setting finance policy if his own Liberals doubt he can do the politics. And Mr. Trudeau is going to have to recruit again in 2018."
Heather Mallick (Toronto Star) on Kent Hehr, Minister for People with Disabilities: "The reasoning behind his appointment came from identity politics, which is fine so far as it goes. But it contains a flaw. The assumption that a disabled minister would understand all kind of disability is not true, just as women are not automatic sustainers of other women."
John Ibbitson (The Globe and Mail) on whether senators will hold up the marijuana legalization bill: "The costs of missing that deadline would be severe. Provincial governments are negotiating contracts with suppliers, who are ramping up production. Governments and private companies are signing leases for storefronts. Police forces are acquiring new equipment, and training officers to identify pot-impaired drivers."
Globe and Mail Editorial Board on Trudeau and China: "Canada has never had to deal with a problem quite like China. Managing its rise, and our relationship with this superpower that is both aggressively capitalistic and unapologetically anti-democratic, will be one of Canada's biggest challenges in the years to come. Does Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government understand this? Does it get that China is not just an economic opportunity, but also a threat to the world order this country helped build, and under which we have long prospered."
Barrie McKenna (The Globe and Mail) on protectionism (inside Canada): "The Comeau case offers a rare opportunity to force Ottawa and the provinces to do what they have repeatedly failed to do on their own – even as Canada decries rising protectionism in the United States and elsewhere. Canada faces enormous trade challenges in the world. But too often, we can't get beyond petty fights on the home front." (for subscribers)
Steve Ambler and Jeremy Kronick (The Globe and Mail) on the Bank of Canada: "As was widely expected, the Bank of Canada announced on Wednesday that it was not changing its target overnight rate. Despite the announcement reinforcing expectations, the emphasis on caution was enough to knock more than a half a cent off the value of the Canadian dollar before the end of Wednesday morning. With uncertainty on the horizon for 2018, the year promises to be a challenging one for our central bankers – one that will require market guidance."
Andrew Coyne (National Post) on CBC's funding model: "Though proposed as an antidote to advertising, public funding suffers from much the same basic problem: in either case, the broadcaster is accountable not to its viewers, but to someone else — advertisers or the government, whoever is paying the bills. The larger goal, then, should be for subscription fees to replace, not just advertising, but also the CBC's public subsidy. The beneficiaries from this would not only be taxpayers, but CBC viewers: subsidy is not only no longer necessary, but an impediment to quality — the kind that, we can now see, comes from a direct relationship with a passionate, paying audience."

After the U.S. unilaterally decided to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital anti-Trump protests have sprung up across the Arab world, although violence has been limited. The Globe's Eric Reguly reports from the West Bank that the Palestinians are searching for allies in the aftermath of the decision. "Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries do not make us a priority for them," said Mahmoud al-Aloul, vice-chairman of Fatah, Palestine's ruling political party. "That's a problem for us, absolutely."

The race between Roy Moore and Doug Jones to be the next senator from Alabama is wrapped in struggles over the state's troubled history and its uncertain future, David Shribman writes. The outcome of the race could send a message about the national preoccupation with sexual predators and alter generations-old voting patterns in the most conservative region of the U.S. Alabama's senior senator, also a Republican, says he is not voting for Roy Moore.

South Korea has imposed new sanctions against North Korea in a response to its latest missile launch. Groups, including banks and companies, were added to sanctions lists and several individuals were also targeted in the largely symbolic move.
And in case you missed it the European Union and Japan have concluded negotiations on a free-trade agreement that would establish the world's largest open economic area.
Former Obama speechwriter Sarada Peri in The Globe on the bully pulpit: "Teddy Roosevelt was talking about more than influencing policy or even politics. He was illuminating a president's power to shape the nation's ethical framework – his power, in effect, to moralize. 'I suppose my critics will call that preaching,' he said, 'but I have got such a bully pulpit.' Mr. Trump offers no stable political affiliation, no hopeful vision for America, no compelling, or even coherent, agenda."
Konrad Yakabuski (The Globe and Mail) on Roy Moore:"For a few fleeting weeks it seemed even the GOP had a conscience. But the party ultimately could not resist the temptation of passing tax cuts for the rich and its leaders decided they could not sacrifice a reliable Republican seat in the Senate. Especially since they'll need it if Mr. Trump is to replace one of the remaining liberal judges on the Supreme Court and create a conservative majority that would reinstate abortion bans and uphold the Second Amendment right to bear arms and arms and arms. What's a little (more) hypocrisy when the stakes are this high?"
Elizabeth Renzetti (The Globe and Mail) on saying sorry in the public sphere: "Allegations of sexual misconduct against high-profile men have piled up in the past couple of months, followed in some cases by public apologies. These apologies, alas, often resembled Christmas crackers purchased at the dollar store: cheap, hollow and containing nothing of value at their core."

NASA has made a huge step towards the discovery of aliens after a bombshell study suggested extraterrestrials may be able to thrive in the waters of Saturn moon Titan.
GETTY BOMBSHELL: NASA has made a huge breakthrough in the search for aliens on Titan
The space agency has recently confirmed the existence of vinyl cyanide on Saturn moon, Titan. And scientists have since been recreating the conditions in a lab to prove the world is capable of hosting extraterrestrials. Vinyl cyanide is a molecule that, according to studies, is most likely to form a membrane that could survive on Titan, much like on Earth.
The surface of Mars: could these images prove LIFE exists on the Red Planet? These images released by NASA show the surface of Mars. They have been pored over by boffins and truthseekers looking for telltale signs that water once flowed on the Red Planet, which would mean that alien life could once have flourish there 1 / 19 NASA Four geological layers to be examined by the mission, and higher reaches of Mount Sharp beyond the planned study area
And since NASA's Cassini spacecraft has all but confirmed its presence, reports Express.co.uk, it drastically boosts the chances of a vinyl cyanide membrane surviving there. Maureen Palmer, a NASA researcher, said: "If membranes can be made in a lab with a simulation of Titan's ocean conditions, it would make us more optimistic about them really forming on Titan." She adds Titan is "an interesting chemical laboratory to study the boundaries of possible biochemistry for creating life".

Question: Israeli police arrest tycoon, others in bribery, fraud sting

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police say a prominent billionaire businessman and four other suspects were taken into custody on a battery of charges, including money laundering, obstruction of justice and bribery.
The police say the suspects were arrested and questioned on Monday, following a joint investigation with Swiss and American authorities into forged documents and fictitious real estate deals abroad.
The police would not comment on the specifics of the current investigation, but confirmed that Beny Steinmetz was among those arrested.
Steinmetz, a Geneva-based diamond-mining magnate with an estimated worth of just over $1 billion according to Forbes, was arrested by Israeli authorities in December over allegations of bribing officials in the African country of Guinea to promote business interests there.
He spent two weeks under house arrest at that time.

Question: Recipe: Vegetable Spring Rolls

VEGETABLE SPRING ROLLS
Servings: 12
Start to finish: 45 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup plain yogurt
Zest and juice from 1 lemon
Sea salt, to taste
6 to 8 leaves lacinato (or Tuscan) kale
Advertisement
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
12 spring roll wrappers
1 cup hummus
1 kohlrabi, peeled and julienned
1 watermelon radish, peeled and julienned
2 tablespoons Egyptian dukkah spice blend, plus more as needed
4 green onions, thinly sliced
3/4 cup cilantro or mint leaves
1 daikon radish, peeled and julienned
4 red radishes, julienned
3 small (or 1 medium) beets, peeled and julienned
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Toasted black sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, then cover and refrigerate.
Trim the stems from the kale leaves and cut the leaves into 4-inch squares (you will need 12 total). Transfer the kale to a large resealable bag and add the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Seal the bag and gently massage the leaves to tenderize the kale.
Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water. One at a time, dip the spring roll wrappers into the water and soak until just pliable, about 10 seconds. Remove from the water and lay on a clean work surface and blot the wrap to remove any excess water.
Starting at about 1 inch from the lower edge, place a square of the massaged kale, then spread about 1 tablespoon of hummus across the kale. Top with a thin layer of kohlrabi and watermelon radish. Sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon of dukkah, about 1 tablespoon of green onion, and about 1 tablespoon of herbs. Top with a layer of daikon, red radish, and beet, then season with additional dukkah or salt and pepper, to taste.
Dampen your fingertips. Carefully, but firmly, pull the lower edge of the wrap up and over the filling to start the roll. After the first full rotation, fold in each side of the wrap to close in the ends and continue to roll closed, ending with the seam-side down.
Transfer the completed roll to a platter, and then continue to form 12 rolls. Do not stack the finished rolls, as they will stick together if touching. Cover the finished rolls with lightly oiled parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve the spring rolls, use a very sharp knife to cut each roll in half. Drizzle with the reserved lemon yogurt sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Chef’s Note: If kohlrabi or watermelon radishes are unavailable, substitute with an equal amount of prepared broccoli slaw mix, jicama, or chayote squash.

Question: Pullela Gopichand interview: Great infrastructure doesn’t produce great results, great coaches do

Represent the article to find a fitting news title:

After India’s only individual gold medallist Abhinav Bindra spoke about the need for expert planners, The Field spoke to coach Pullela Gopichand in the second part of the series of interviews with people who care about Indian sport. Gopichand, one of India’s most successful coach, spoke about his vision for building a culture for sports and what India needs to do to produce more champions.
Excerpts:
If a country has to become a sporting nation, where do we start?
A culture of sport is what is important. Medals are not really the bench mark to decide whether you are a sporting nation. Participation in sport across all age groups and gender should be the criteria for calling ourselves a sporting nation. For me, to see a lot of young kids play sport in the true spirit of sport is what is important. A by-product of it can be the medals that we win, which could add to the pride of the nation. But if you look at sports as a mechanism of communities coming together, health and sportsman spirit, that is the larger issue that sports needs to address. And that to me is the picture for calling us a sporting nation.
It is the sheer number of people participating in sports per day is what is the benchmark.
But success and medals are going to be the ultimate parameters. Do you think this will fetch us more medals?
Not necessarily. For example, if you are 100m sprinter. We don’t have cases for anybody without a particular gene type winning the race. Long distance has a similar pattern. I am not saying that there cannot be an aberration to that but that is the norm. So if we go by genetics or if we go by environments, we may not be producing a sprinting 100m champion in the next few years. But that doesn’t mean that the whole country should not train for 100m. For me, medals should not be the main objective. If, in the bargain, we provide for excellence it is very good. But for me, each individual competing against himself and trying to do better is what sports is all about.
It is not the referral benchmark but the personal benchmark that is important. Everybody should reach their highest potential and that is possible through sport. Since you asked for an ideal scenario, for me the ideal scenario will be XYZ not competing against somebody but pushing to get to his/her best.
So in a class, only one can be first but all can get 100% marks. So for me from the national perspective this is important. With gene therapy, doping, gene mapping etc, I think excellence may not be for everybody. But sports for everybody should be a benchmark for nation building.
If quality of life, happiness and health were the benchmarks we were setting out to achieve and then we were looking at sports excellence it would be great.
This is a ideal social scenario. But sports is also about showcasing soft power and that is why nations spend so much? What do you think is lacking in Indian system?
India is very unique. We need a system that is very India-specific, which is very dynamic and has a method of interaction with various stakeholders and for me the most important point is that there are many cogs in these wheels which we need to align to each other in the same direction and we need a body which actually aligns all of them. There are many states, federations, individuals, NGOs etc who are trying to contribute in their own way to do something in sports. But there is a need to give them one single direction.
I think for the first time, thanks to the Prime Minister, there is a thought process that we need something and there is a generic talk as to what is needed. When it comes to building a system, we are still little immature right now but I think the talk is in the right direction. This is the beginning.
So what could be the benchmarks for this success?
Finland, Norway, Denmark have the largest participative ratio in sports. And they are the happiest nations in the world. Whereas UK, USA may have won many medals but the nations are not the best in terms of happiness index or health index.
So I think the scientific and unbiased way of creating a system is decide the right targets. We need to select a few sports according to their genetics and past records and you have to be very cut throat about it. You have to ensure that you cut whatever dead wood there is and that the best are getting the best facilities. It is a very clear cut approach and in that approach we will cut off various sports, cut of many individuals and go in with a simple plan of getting medals as the singles largest goal.
Now if you want to build this kind of a system what is the way forward?
I don’t know about others. But for me to build a system, I would like them to play what comes naturally to them. If you see the traditional sports India plays, kho kho, kabaddi, hockey etc etc, the common thread is that it doesn’t need big infrastructure. They just need sticks and balls to play with or bare hands to play with, whether its hockey or mallakhamb.
Our country’s need was these sports. Now whether you want to take other countries sport, build an infrastructure and excel in that sport is the call you will have to take. If you want to build sports culture this is what is important. Big cities, more people and less infrastructure is a problem. So we need less infrastructure and more people to play sport.
So when you build infrastructure you have to take these things in mind. It’s a complex issue. I don’t say I know all the answers but there is a need for a discussion, debate to happen.
International performance is what catalyses a sport. And for that you need medals in big events.
We need not be as obsessed with medals. We can have excellence as an obsession. So a top-down and a bottom-up approach are both needed. So you have to nurture players without being unreasonable about it. If there is some talent that is exceptional then we should get the best facilities that are available in the world.
But always clearly focusing on bottom-up approach where we broaden the base. We look at cheaper alternatives, more local, innate opportunities and look at our native sports. Yes, internationally sports has a huge role at building international pride. But we need to take a conscious view on this amount of money we will earmark for this and this amount for that.
I would really look to create a system that bring benefits beyond medals into the social system and that has to be measured system.
But we only talk about this. In reality, nothing happens. What has gone wrong?
One of the fundamentals is culture of sport. We are long way away [from imbibing that culture]. The best models in the world are coach led, athlete-centric and system driven. Now, we are at most administrator, government, individual athlete-led. We are not anywhere close to this model. We need to get the act together.
For me, when we look at sport and the challenges, I think always it should be people first, program next and infrastructure last. Many of times we reverse that sequence and feel that lack of infrastructure is the biggest problem. But I think good coaches can be creative and get results even when there is no infrastructure. But great infrastructure without coaches will not lead us anywhere.
The tons of stadiums that have been built across the country for national games, Commonwealth Games and Asian Games are testimony to the fact that great infrastructure doesn’t produce great results. Great coaches produce results.
So how do you people to take pride in becoming a coach? How do you get a system which ensures that the people who work are complemented? Today, the coaching system is the most un-evolved system in the country. Coaches are recognised on the basis of what there athletes achieve where as a coach working at a grass-root level might do a great job but never be recognised by the system.
Even in school, a class one teacher hands over the child to the next class but the handing over process in coaching doesn’t happen. So how do you actually make the distinction and make grass-root coaches heroes, reward them, award them, and make them confident to hand over. It needs a lot of thought to understand the issue. But currently, we are not even addressing it.
We don’t respect coaches is a cultural issue at the moment. Gurus were the most respected people across our history. But of late we have lost it and we have to get that back.
Second thing is the existing power centres in sports look at it as their fiefdom. Now how do you make sports science as the background for running sport and not any other parameter. So objectively breaking down parameters. But I see a lot of change that is happening now.
Despite so many academies mushrooming, why do you feel we don’t have enough expert coaches?
Let’s take the example of badminton. From the numbers of coaches that we have, Sports Authority of India [SAI] employees about 900 coaches. We produce about 18 badminton coaches in a year from National Institute of Sport [NIS]. And if Bangalore has 3000 badminton courts, we will need at least 3000 coaches. So we need to revamp this system.
When you look at a coach, what are you looking for? His knowledge. But if he is not driven, if he doesn’t feel pride in his job why will he try to improve? Why will he try to get better if there is no progression for him? Why will he come into the field if there is no reward or recognition in the first place. So we need to create this entire ecosystem. I think, for instance, there are five lakh trained coaches in UK.
But just training is not everything. Someone who is trained in 1990 and still coaching that way is not a trained coach according to me.
Are we too focused on short term goals?
When you have bureaucracy posted for short period of time. When you have governments with limited mandate, coaches will have limited mandate, this will happen. There is a need for sport and sporting bodies to be lot more permanent. Lot more regulation, lot more permanent. Continuity without regulation and regulation without continuity wont work.
Rio Olympics target was 12 medals, if we want to win medals consistently what are the short term steps that have to be taken and is 2024 is feasible target?
We cannot ignore what is happening, we should look at 2020. In 2020, there is nobody new who is going to come up. 2018 is Asian Games. 2024, relatively better. 2028 and 2032 are realistic change opportunity. Any change will need at least 10 years time. But for that the implementation of the thought process is important.
What went wrong between 2012 and 2016? Was it because of the change in approach to a more athlete-centric system?
If we look back at our Olympic success in the past, it was individual driven. Be it [Rajyavardhan] Rathore in 2004 or Abhinav [Bindra] in 2008. For some reason it became the benchmark. 2010, CWG ensured that it was system driven. So 2012 was a spill over. TOPs scheme was also made on the Abhinav, Rathore model.
Everyone who looks at sport has looked at it from a shooting [sport] perspective or successful athletes perspective. So 6-10 athletes became stars and they became the talking and listening points. So they spoke about their success and it became an individual system. If you don’t give in (to their demands), someone else will. So the government also said that we will do that. And the whole thing got a little messed up.
An athlete-led, athlete-centric model is not a great model for success. But we actually had previous success so we thought this will give us more success. We need to realise that what got us here, wont get us there. It has its value, individual athletes should have their say. But not everybody can decide for themselves. Even if they have to regulations have to be there, systems have to be there.
I am not saying that a system that has sub-standard people will produce results. The one criticism of system driven approach is it can lead to sub-standard people getting more power and that has to be avoided.
From your playing days to today... has anything changed?
The top players are taken care of very well. 100% change. Government and SAI, for whatever we might say, do a phenomenal job. I cannot say about the system. The bottom is lot more unstructured. I really think we need a lot more thought going into it.
We are too focused on the top. Today, I can say it but I couldn’t have spoken this two to three years back. So when I talk today, I talk today because I have the results to back things up. So today when I speak of sports culture I also speak about that because I believe we have achieved the milestones as far as excellence is concerned and I am at least ready to talk about the sports culture. Where as if I were to talk about this 15 years ago, people would say kya baat kar raha hai [what are you saying]. First show us that you can win. Since you can’t win, you are talking about sports culture. I have done that and so now, I am talking.
Next up: Viren Rasquinha on the challenges Indian athletes face

Consistency is a word used often in the field of sports. When an athlete wins top laurels, he/she is expected to repeat the feat. But it’s not easy. Actually, this is tougher than winning something for the first time. Expectations rise, opponents get used to your game and the factors change in general.
And these athletes are no machines. Even the most gifted of the era have had times when things just wouldn’t fall in place. Somehow, every time they fall, they dust themselves off and rise like a phoenix. And that is why they are called greats or legends.
Whether or not Indian badminton has achieved greatness is arguable. Some would say they are on the brink of it. In reality, they are somewhere in between. And even if this year does not define the sport in the country, the next few years will. Players exceeded expectations in 2017, as a number of them excelled at the top level. In that sense, their test begins now, to show that it was no one-year wonder.
suvajit dey
Indian players have not had the best of starts this year. Saina Nehwal’s final appearance at the Indonesia Masters apart, they have got off to low-key starts. Even home conditions at the India Open did not bring the best out of them. But B Sai Praneeth, who won the Singapore Open Superseries last year, feels it is too soon to write them off. “We are training hard. Everybody is playing well. It’s not easy to win every match. This year is only starting and there is a long way to go. We will get good results,” he said.
“Last year, India won many titles, especially in singles. And I believe there is nothing to change in the way we train. It’s only a matter of time before the results are back. Sometimes, when you lose, confidence goes down. But there is time and we will give our best,” added the World No 18. Kidambi Srikanth (5) and HS Prannoy (11) are the other Indians in the top 20.When you perform at a certain level, you will be noticed. Rivals won’t sit back and let someone win. Using technology like video analysis, they search for weaknesses so that they can target them the next time they face the player. Some of them train for hours perfecting just one technique. Such is the level of competition and badminton is no different.
“It’s only been three tournaments and we haven’t played in Malaysia. But there were three boys in the quarterfinals and that’s a good sign. It’s not easy to win because each round is tough and the standard is very high. We are doing well and there is definitely scope for more medals. There is a long way to go in the season,” said PV Sindhu.While losing affects rankings, it also takes a toll on confidence. To deal with criticism is not easy. But top athletes fight, learn from mistakes and come back stronger. Sometimes, they have to think out of the box and get out of the comfort zone. “We have to analyse what went wrong individually and keep working on it. There are new strokes that we can learn. We need to surprise our opponents every time we go on court. Losing can be mentally draining. You start doubting yourself. The best thing you can do is to stop thinking about it. Because the more you think, the worse you will feel,” felt Prannoy.
After reaching a certain level, top athletes hire personal coaches who travel with them and be with them during tournaments. After a point, everything changes in the way you train, the diet that you follow, the need to maintain fitness. There are players with personal physios, who know their injury history and can take better care of them. What India has achieved in terms of setting up this system is good. Without that, there won’t be a Saina or Sindhu. But is that enough? “We need better infrastructure and a more systematic approach. We need more coaches so that individual attention can be given to players. We don’t have coaches. I have been saying this for 10 years and nobody has heard me,” said chief national coach Pullela Gopichand.
Injuries have taken a toll on Indians this year. Srikanth and Prannoy are among those affected. This is where the depth of field will be tested. Can fringe players step up and shoulder the responsibilities when big guns are missing? With the Commonwealth and Asian Games, Asian team championships coming up, these are testing times for Gopichand’s wards. “If we take a look at badminton overall, the numbers have been really good. But we will have to wait and see if they will turn out to be a Srikanth or Prannoy. The next generation is definitely exciting,” Gopichand added.Fortunes of Indian badminton can change like how fast the shuttle moves. Swish and it can fall in or outside the court. But like many of the players pointed out, it is only the beginning. With a cramped schedule ahead, things will only get tougher. And only time can tell how it is going to be at the end of the year.
1 Just one Indian pair in the top 25 in men’s, women’s and mixed doubles. Pranav Jerry Chopra and Sikki Reddy are 24th in mixed doubles.
Academy of excellence
Most of India’s badminton success is based in Hyderabad, at Pullela Gopichand’s academy. Starting from scratch to producing world class talent, this academy has surpassed expectations by a distance.
Nothing after that
The Hyderabad set-up apart, India has no other centre that comes close to it. Experts have stressed on the need of creating a system now instead of depending solely on one centre of excellence.
Foreign coaches
Gopichand has often said India doesn’t have good coaches. The federation reacted and roped in top names to train singles as well as doubles players. It’s important that this practice continues and top coaches keep coming to India.
The pioneer Saina Nehwal
Undoubtedly the inspiration for the generation that followed, she has been in the top 10 or thereabouts for close to a decade now. Some say she is past her prime, but at 27 and post surgeries, Saina is good enough to win World Championship medals and give younger players a run for their money.
The flag-bearerPV Sindhu
If India needed a few players to follow in Saina’s footsteps, up strode another one from Hyderabad. At 22 and with more big-event medals in her kitty already than what Saina has achieved, here is a world championship contender. Yes she has lost a few finals, but there is
no denying that she is India’s biggest hope.
Emerging force Kidambi Srikanth
You don’t win four Superseries titles in a year if you are not top-level material. But for Srikanth it is crucial to get into the medal bracket in top events. For, that is important in the assessment of players. Sure he has the game for it and it’s perhaps a matter of time before he gets there.
Able lieutenants
HS Prannoy and B Sai Praneeth
In these two, India have found players who have proven that the existing system is good enough to produce in numbers. No world beaters yet, but very much the giant-killers, it has to be seen how they handle the transition.

Question: Gunman opens fire on foreigners in Italian town; 6 wounded

MILAN (AP) — A lone gunman targeted foreigners in a drive-by shooting spree Saturday in a central Italian city, wounding six people, one of them with life-threatening injuries, before being arrested.
The suspect’s motive wasn’t immediately clear, but the city of Macerata in the central Marche region is still reeling from the gruesome killing and dismemberment of a young Italian woman this week, allegedly at the hands of a Nigerian immigrant.
Police said all those wounded were foreigners and they later confirmed the arrest of a suspect identified as a 28-year-old Italian with no previous record. A video posted by the newspaper il Resto di Carlino showed a man with an Italian flag draped over his shoulders being arrested by armed Carabinieri officers in the city center, a short distance from where he apparently fled his car on foot.
Macerata Mayor Romano Carancini said that six foreigners were wounded in the two-hour shooting spree, one of them with life-threatening injuries.
Carancini confirmed that all of the victims were black, and acknowledged that “the closeness of these two events makes you imagine that there is a connection.”
The shooting spree came days after the killing of 18-year-old Pamela Mastropietro and amid a heated electoral campaign in Italy where anti-foreigner sentiment has become a key theme. The head of the anti-migrant Northern League, Matteo Salvini, has capitalized on the killing in campaign appearances, and is pledging to deport 150,000 migrants in his first year in office if his party wins control of parliament and he is named premier.
The teen’s dismembered remains were found Wednesday in two suitcases, two days after she walked away from a drug rehab community.
The news agency ANSA reported that the car was seen in the area where the woman’s body was found and also near where the suspect lived. A video posted by il Resto di Carlino Video showed appeared to be a body on the ground on a shopping street.
Police had warned people to stay inside while the shootings were ongoing. Authorities ordered public transport halted and that students be kept inside schools, which are open on Saturdays.
Italians vote in the general election on March 4.

PARIS (AP) -- French police said an 8-year-old girl was killed and at least five people were injured when a driver slammed his car into the sidewalk cafe of a pizza restaurant in a small town east of Paris.
An official with the national gendarme service said the driver was arrested soon after the incident Monday night in the town of Sept-Sorts.
The official said it is unclear whether the act was deliberate. The official was not authorized to be publicly named according to police policy.
An Algerian man drove his car into a group of French soldiers last week, and a truck attack in the French city of Nice left 86 people dead a little more than a year ago. Several other countries have seen cars used as weapons in recent years.

Washington
JAMES Comey's memoir surged to the top of Amazon's bestseller list over the weekend after US President Donald Trump attacked the former FBI director in a string of angry tweets - and the book isn't even published yet.
A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, due for release on April 17, had already been hovering in the top-20 in the months since it went up for preorder.
But it got an unexpected bump when Mr Trump lashed out at Mr Comey, jumping from No 15 on Saturday morning to No 1 by Sunday evening.
sentifi.com Market voices on:
Mr Trump's decision to fire Mr Comey last May reemerged in the news after attorney general Jeff Sessions, acting on Mr Trump's stated wishes, fired former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe on Friday night shortly before Mr McCabe's planned retirement.
Mr Trump tweeted his satisfaction with the move, accusing "Sanctimonious James Comey" of covering up "lies and corruption" in the FBI and leaking information to the media. He also blasted special counsel Robert Mueller's probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election, which was triggered by Mr Comey's ouster, saying there should never have been an investigation.
(The Washington Post's Glenn Kessler gave a detailed breakdown of the inaccuracies and misleading statements in Mr Trump's weekend tweetstorm, which also targeted other officials.)
Among other things, Mr Trump criticised Mr Comey's practice as FBI director of writing memos about his conversations with the president. "Can we call them Fake Memos?" Mr Trump tweeted.
Mr Comey is expected to discuss the substance of some of his meetings with Mr Trump in A Higher Loyalty, though almost nothing about the book's contents has been revealed publicly.
Mr Comey responded to some of Mr Trump's attacks on Saturday with what read like a subtle plug for the memoir.
"Mr President, the American people will hear my story very soon. And they can judge for themselves who is honourable and who is not," he tweeted.
As of early Monday morning, A Higher Loyalty still held Amazon's No 1 spot, trailed by Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump by Michael Isikoff and David Corn.
Also in the top-10 were A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L'Engle's fantasy novel that was recently released as a blockbuster film, and A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking, the renowned theoretical physicist who died last week.
There's never been any doubt about Mr Comey's book flying off the shelves. Intrigue has been building since last summer when his literary agents revealed he had begun work on a manuscript.
Mr Comey has occasionally teased the book on social media. He recently tweeted a picture of himself recording the audiobook version, along with the caption "Lordy, this time there will be a tape," a reference to Mr Trump's false suggestion that he had recorded his interactions with Mr Comey.
The last inside account of the Trump administration, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, created a frenzy in Washington when it dropped in early January. The book by Michael Wolff, which was riddled with gossip and inaccuracies, debuted at No 1 on the New York Times bestseller list and remains the list's top-selling hardcover nonfiction book.
The publisher of Mr Comey's memoir, Flatiron Books, says Mr Comey will share "never-before-told experiences from some of the highest-stakes situations of his career" and offer an "unprecedented entry into the corridors of power".
Flatiron is taking extraordinary precautions to prevent any leaks, as Politico reported last week. Rather than circulating print drafts, the publisher is using a password-protected electronic system allowing only those involved in the project to access it. The book is also being stored under a code name, and warehouse workers who ship it will be asked to sign nondisclosure agreements, according to Politico. WP

LONDON (AP) — HSBC says the U.S. Department of Justice will ask a court to dismiss deferred criminal charges against the London-based bank in recognition of its efforts to strengthen safeguards against money laundering.
The bank says it has lived up to all of its commitments under a five-year deferred prosecution agreement that has now expired and U.S. authorities will file a motion to dismiss the charges deferred by that deal.
The move marks a significant step for the global bank, which signed the agreement to avoid charges for allegedly laundering millions of dollars from Mexican drug barons and countries facing U.S. sanctions.
HSBC Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver says the bank is better able to fight financial crime "as the result of the significant reforms we have implemented over the last five years."

Standard Chartered, along with other banks, have to prepare for the worst when it comes to Brexit, Bill Winters said.

DALLAS -- Two officers and a civilian were shot Tuesday afternoon near a Home Depot in Dallas, police said.
The officers were critically wounded in the Lake Highlands neighborhood.
The civilian's condition was not available.
Officers were searching for the suspected shooter near the wooded area and along the creek behind the store.
At nearby Forest Lane Station, DART passengers were not allowed to get off or on the trains to prevent the suspect from escaping the area by train, spokesman Mark Ball said.
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said in a tweet that they were "closely monitoring" the situation and "praying for our officers and their families."
Aerial footage from the scene showed a man being loaded into an ambulance. At least one person was taken to Texas Health Presbyterian of Dallas.
It was not immediately clear what led to the shooting.
Citing sources, WFAA-TV said Dallas police were helping an off-duty officer working security arrest someone when shots were fired.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was also responding to the scene.

PARIS (AP) — French police say an 8-year-old girl was killed and at least five people were injured when a driver slammed his car into the sidewalk cafe of a pizza restaurant in a small town east of Paris.
An official with the national gendarme service said the driver was arrested soon after the incident Monday night in the town of Sept-Sorts.
The official said it is unclear whether the act was deliberate. The official was not authorized to be publicly named according to police policy.
An Algerian man drove his car into a group of French soldiers last week, and a truck attack in the French city of Nice left 86 people dead a little more than a year ago. Several other countries have seen cars used as weapons in recent years.
