Question: US supreme court rules for Arab Bank over human rights claims

[WASHINGTON] The US Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that foreign corporations cannot be sued in American courts for human rights abuses overseas, refusing to revive a lawsuit claiming Jordan-based Arab Bank Plc helped finance militant attacks in Israel and the Palestinian territories.
The 5-4 decision left in place a lower court ruling that had thrown out a lawsuit brought by some 6,000 plaintiffs, including survivors and relatives of non-US citizens killed in attacks, filed under a 1789 US law called the Alien Tort Statute that accused Arab Bank of being the "paymaster" to militant groups.
Only in recent years have plaintiffs sought to bring human rights claims under that obscure law.
The plaintiffs accused Arab Bank of deliberately financing terrorism, including suicide bombings and other attacks. They said Arab Bank used its New York branch to transfer money that helped Hamas and other Islamist militant groups fund attacks and reward families of the perpetrators between 1995 and 2005.
sentifi.com Market voices on:
The lead plaintiff in the Arab Bank case was Joseph Jesner, whose British citizen son was killed at age 19 in a 2002 suicide bombing of a bus in Tel Aviv. The bank said in court papers that the US government has called it a constructive partner in the fight against terrorism financing.
In a 2013 ruling, the Supreme Court did not resolve the corporate liability question when it ruled in favor of Royal Dutch Shell Plc over a lawsuit claiming the company was complicit in a crackdown on protesters in Nigeria.
That 2013 ruling narrowed the Alien Tort Statute's reach, saying claims must sufficiently "touch and concern" the United States to overcome the presumption that the law does not cover foreign conduct.
In a separate case involving US citizens and brought under a different law, a New York jury in 2014 found Arab Bank liable for facilitating two dozen militant attacks in Israel.

(JNS) U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) have introduced of a bill they say "clarifies and restores Congressional intent" of the Anti-terrorism Act of 1992 to "ensure access to compensation for those impacted by acts of terror." The bipartisan bill is co-sponsored by Sens. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Christopher Coons (D-Del.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas).
Cruz, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said of the bipartisan legislation: "The history of Palestinian and Iranian terrorism against Americans is extensive, going decades and ranging from hijackings to suicide bombings and assassinations. For too long, American citizens have been disgracefully denied justice. This bill will ensure that American victims of terrorism are empowered to secure accountability from terrorists and their supporters."
In a statement, Cruz and Grassley explain the Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act of 2018 is designed "to better ensure that American victims of international terrorism can obtain justice in U.S. courts, by holding accountable those who commit, or aid and abet, terrorist activity abroad."
The new bill seeks to correct several flaws in the original anti-terrorism act. Cruz explained that under "The Anti-terrorism Act of 1992, some defendants accused of aiding and abetting acts of international terrorism have successfully claimed in court that the law's "act of war" defense shields them from civil liability, even when the act of terrorism was perpetrated by designated terrorist groups."
Secondly, the bill's co-sponsors explain that the original bill "leaves victims of narco-terrorism or other drug-related terrorist activity without a meaningful method of satisfying their Anti-Terrorism Act judgments."
The 2018 bill also clarifies the U.S. Court's jurisdiction in foreign terrorism cases. "Recent flawed court decisions have called into question the Anti-Terrorism Act's continued ability to hold terrorists or their supporters accountable in U.S. courts," said Cruz's office in a statement.
"The Supreme Court's recent decision to deny certiorari in Sokolow v. Palestine Liberation Organization — a case in which [Senate Judiciary Committee] chairman Grassley led a bipartisan amicus brief — leaves in place a flawed circuit court decision gutting the extraterritorial scope of the 1992 law. Carrying out or assisting an act of international terrorism that injures or kills Americans abroad should provide sufficient justification to subject defendants to the U.S. legal regime."
Moreover, the bill's sponsors insist, that "no one benefiting from a U.S. program, such as foreign assistance, or maintaining a presence in the United States should be able to simultaneously dodge responsibility in U.S. courts for involvement in terrorist attacks that harm Americans. The Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act clarifies that certain defendants who take advantage of benefits under certain U.S. laws shall be deemed to have consented to jurisdiction in U.S. courts for any Anti-Terrorism Act lawsuit."

Question: Weighing Medicare enrollment and health savings accounts

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

I’m almost 65. I have medical insurance at work, and won’t retire until at least age 66. I’m told the penalty for not enrolling in Medicare during the window period is a higher premium. If I enroll, do I lose my employer’s contribution to my Health Savings Account (HSA)?
Medicare enrollment disqualifies you for HSA contributions. But if your company employs 20 or more people, you can postpone Medicare enrollment without incurring a penalty.
HSA contributions are tax-deductible, earnings are tax-free, and distributions are tax-free if used for qualified medical expenses. But an HSA must be coupled with a high-deductible health insurance policy. Getting other coverage — like Medicare — ends your contribution eligibility. Any subsequent employer contribution is added to your taxable income and is subject to a 6 percent annual excise tax until you remove it from the HSA.
But your Medicare sign-up deadline depends partly on where you work. If your company employs fewer than 20 people, your penalty-free Medicare enrollment window closes three months after your 65th birthday. If your employer has 20 or more workers, that window stays open until eight months after you leave your job or lose coverage in your employer’s plan, whichever comes first.
Two caveats: Anyone who applies for Social Security after age 65 is automatically enrolled in Medicare. And if you apply when you’re six months or more past your full retirement age — i.e., at 66 1/2 or older — your Medicare coverage is backdated by six months. So if that’s your timetable, be sure to stop contributing to your HSA six months before you apply for Social Security.
THE BOTTOM LINE Even if you don’t have an HSA, triple-check your Medicare enrollment deadline as you near age 65. Missing it means a permanently higher premium, and could leave you temporarily uninsured.

It’s a challenging time for small business owners. Faced with the possible repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many are rethinking their healthcare coverage and doing comparison shopping. Healthcare plans, even those offered to small businesses through SHOP, vary from state to state. However, small business owners are exploring every insurance option, from government to direct marketplace.
Shopping for health insurance through SHOP
Although ACA is in limbo, SHOP is still a good resource for small business health insurance. Small businesses with up to 50 employees can enroll through private group health insurance plans under SHOP. Self-employed individuals who wish to purchase an ACA healthcare plan can choose individual or family healthcare coverage through the government health insurance exchange. SHOP has a list of agents and brokers in all states, many of whom also sell private healthcare plans outside of the national health insurance network.
A few SHOP basics
Small businesses interested in a SHOP market health insurance plan should note that according to the Overview of The SHOP Marketplace, “The Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) Marketplace is for small employers who want to provide health and dental insurance to their employees — affordably, flexibly, and conveniently. To use the SHOP Marketplace, your business or non-profit organization must have 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees (FTEs). You don’t have to wait for an open enrollment period. You can start offering SHOP insurance to your employees any time of year.”
The self-employed needn’t despair
Self employment insurance can be expensive in the private sector. However, with assistance and a little advice from resources such as SHOP, the self-employed aren’t entirely going it alone. According to the self-employed section of the government’s healthcare website, “If you’re self-employed, you can use the individual Health Insurance Marketplace to enroll in flexible, high-quality health coverage that works well for people who run their own businesses. You can enroll through the Marketplace if you’re a freelancer, consultant, independent contractor, or other self-employed worker who doesn’t have any employees.”
The self-employed, in addition to looking for low-cost health insurance, can take advantage of tax credits to reduce healthcare premiums. According to the Health Insurance Marketplace, “When you fill out a Marketplace application, you’ll find out if you qualify for premium tax credits and other savings on a health plan. This will be based on your income and household size.”
Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and employee retiree benefits
Being low income, retired or a retiree beneficiary is no obstacle to individuals intent on becoming a business owner. For those who qualify, Medicaid and CHIP are 4enrolling in these programs. Older small business owners qualify for Medicare if age 62 or older. Those who receive retiree benefits from a former employer can use their retiree health coverage combined with Medicare if they qualify.
Private health insurance directly from the market
Many private insurance companies offer health plans to the self-employed and small business owners with less than 50 employees. The more innovative plans, however, can be more cost effective than the SHOP market plans. Small businesses that can afford the premiums would be purchasing directly through healthcare insurance providers.
Employer health insurance
Small business owners who qualify for neither low income nor retiree benefits often pull in extra income and receive health coverage from an employer. This is usually because they prefer not to choose an Affordable Care Act plan.
Private health savings account
A health savings account can be purchased directly from a bank or health insurance company if not offered through a retiree or employer benefits plan. Some banks offer health insurance savings accounts as an extra customer perk. Contribution to a health savings account is an allowable tax deduction.
Veterans Health Benefits
The Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (CHAMPUSVA) was created to help veterans enroll in a healthcare program. If under age 65, they can acquire health coverage outside the VA network through CHAMPUS, a federally funded healthcare program revamped and renamed Tricare.

Question: Religious freedom could top Sessions civil rights priorities

WASHINGTON — When President Donald Trump spoke to the National Prayer Breakfast this month, he underscored his vow to defend the religious rights of the conservative Christians who helped propel him to power.
Now, they expect the Justice Department under new Attorney General Jeff Sessions will reposition itself as a champion of what they see as that religious freedom.
It would be a welcome change for conservative Christians who say their concerns were marginalized under the Obama administration in favour of First Amendment and LGBT issues.
Exactly how Sessions will approach the issue remains to be seen, but he has given them plenty of reasons to be hopeful.
As a Republican senator from Alabama, Sessions, a devout Methodist, argued that the separation of church and state is unconstitutional, and that the First Amendment's bar on an establishment of religion has been interpreted too strictly, while its right to free exercise of religion has been diminished.
Asked at his confirmation hearing whether a "secular person" has "just as good a claim to understanding the truth as a person who is religious," Sessions replied, "Well. I'm not sure."
That backdrop suggests Sessions' Justice Department could more eagerly insert itself into religion-oriented cases such as that of the bakery fined for refusing to make a gay wedding cake, or the high-school football coach fired for praying on the field after games, who Trump repeatedly mentioned during his campaign.
"Religious conservatives have sort of been the forgotten people," said Hiram Sasser, deputy chief counsel for First Liberty Institute, a law firm that specializes in issues of religious liberty. "Now, we have a refreshing sort of reboot to be able to have at least a voice, and to be able to once again have a seat at the table."
Sessions could bring major changes throughout the Justice Department. But the department's civil rights division traditionally is subject to the most radical shift in agendas with each change in presidential administration. Where the Obama Justice Department wanted to leave its mark on reforming troubled police departments, Sessions will likely use its resources differently.
On his first full day on the job, Sessions signalled a shift away from Obama priorities when the Justice Department changed its legal position in a case involving transgender rights. The department is no longer asking a judge to limit an injunction restricting the federal government from telling schools that students should be able to use bathrooms and locker rooms corresponding to their gender identity.
Transgender rights were a focus of the department under former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who sued the state of North Carolina over a bathroom bill that the government said discriminated against transgender people. Such a move would be improbable in an administration like Trump's, which has already signalled its deference to states' rights.
It's unclear exactly what priorities Sessions will pursue when it comes to the civil rights division. The Justice Department declined to comment on his plans for enforcement of religious freedom. He has faced intense criticism of his record on civil rights with regard to race.
A renewed focus on religious causes would be "especially troubling in light of the fact that increasing numbers of Americans are not religious," said Marci Hamilton, a Yeshiva University legal expert on religious liberty. "This landscape is radically different."
But it would help satisfy Trump's campaign promise to his Christian political base. While the appointment of Sessions is a promise fulfilled, some religious conservatives remain concerned that Trump won't deliver. When he was Indiana's governor, Vice-President Mike Pence signed a religious freedom law but softened it after criticism that it was discriminatory, a move that disappointed some conservatives.
Trump still has not signed an executive order to boost protections for those with religious objections to gay marriage and create a working group within the Justice Department to protect "the religious freedom of persons and religious organizations."
Groups ranging from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to Sasser's First Liberty Institute have launched campaigns urging Trump to enact broad protections for religious objectors to laws such as gay marriage and abortion.
His civil rights division could bear a close resemblance to that of the Bush administration, which took a keen interest in matters of religious freedom. It touted its work on human trafficking, an issue of importance to religious conservatives, as a counter to claims that it was weak on civil rights enforcement. Such trafficking cases could again dominate the civil rights division's criminal caseload, while prosecutions of police officers for rights violations, for example, might move to the back burner, said William Yeomans, who spent 24 years as a lawyer in the civil rights division during Democratic and Republican administrations.
The department could insert itself in federal lawsuits on behalf of faith-based groups, among other actions. It could aggressively enforce the provision of the Civil Rights Act that bans workplace bias based on religion, and also a law designed to let churches and other religious institutions skirt zoning restrictions, which the Obama administration used to sued several cities that refused to allow the construction of mosques.

Swift spoke to Rolling Stone about Petty’s tremendous influence on her.
“To me, Tom Petty represented a kind of songwriting I idolized: complex simplicity,” she revealed. “It said so much in the lyrics, the concepts, the stories, the message, the nuances … but always brought you back to a hook that got stuck in everyone’s head. He motivated thousands of guitarists to learn to play just because they wanted to be able to play ‘Free Fallin.” Count me as one of them.”
Swift famously covered Petty’s timeless 1977 single, “American Girl,” releasing it as a single and performing it on her Fearless tour in 2009. Check it out below.

Question: Trump remaking federal policy on women's reproductive health

Represent this text to find a news title for it

WASHINGTON -- Step by methodical step, the Trump administration is remaking government policy on reproductive health -- moving to limit access to birth control and abortion and bolstering abstinence-only sex education.
Social and religious conservatives praise the administration for promoting "a culture of life." But women's-rights activists and some medical experts view the multi-pronged changes as a dangerous ideological shift that could increase unintended pregnancies and abortions.
"When I ran for office, I pledged to stand for life," President Donald Trump said in a recent speech to the Susan B. Anthony List, which backs political candidates who oppose abortion. "And as president, that's exactly what I've done. And I have kept my promise, and I think everybody here understands that fully."
Most of the changes involve rules and regulations under the administration's direct control, such as a proposal to forbid federally funded family planning clinics from referring women for abortions and separately allowing more employers who cite moral or religious reasons to opt out of no-cost birth control for women workers.
Trump also is appointing numerous new federal judges endorsed by anti-abortion groups.
Trump drops abortion fight into pivotal midterm elections
Justice Neil Gorsuch, the president's only appointment to the Supreme Court so far, has a sparse record on abortion, but has drawn praise from anti-abortion groups and criticism from abortion rights supporters. Unlike regulatory changes, judicial appointments cannot be reversed by a future president.
Democrats say Trump is changing policy in ways that could disrupt access to family planning for some women.
A recently proposed rule would make major changes to Title X, the family-planning program, including banning clinics from sharing physical space and financial resources with abortion providers. Providers like Planned Parenthood could be forced out.
"It's across the spectrum of women's health services," said Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Col. "They're proposing abstinence-only sex education --which study after study has shown doesn't work-- restrictions to family planning, and more and more restrictions to abortion."
Title X serves about 4 million low-income people, mainly women. Disruptions could affect women's access to long-acting contraceptives, such as implants and IUDs. Those are more effective than daily pills that can be forgotten but also much more expensive up-front.
Eight professional groups representing doctors, nurses, midwives and physician assistants say the Title X proposal "dangerously intrudes" on the patient-provider relationship. That could lead to more unplanned pregnancies, medical complications and undiagnosed diseases.
"The strange thing about this is that people who want to decrease the number of abortions are taking away access to the very services that help prevent them," said Dr. Hal Lawrence, CEO of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, one of the eight groups. Among the others are the American College of Nurse-Midwives and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The administration says it supports family planning and isn't cutting funding -- merely drawing a "bright line" between birth control and abortion. Officials say the doctor-patient relationship is protected because if a woman asks for an abortion referral, Title X doctors could offer a list of pregnancy services providers, including some who perform abortions.
Abortion is legal, but under longstanding law and regulations, taxpayer money cannot be used to pay for abortions. Planned Parenthood, a major provider of both kinds of services, can receive federal family-planning grants while separately providing abortions.
Trump's changes come at a time when U.S. rates of births overall, births to teens, and abortions are low.
"If we were seeing skyrocketing abortion rates and wildly high numbers on teen births, you could say we have a crisis, but this is just the opposite," said Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services under President Barack Obama, and a supporter of abortion rights. "This is playing politics and putting people in a very precarious situation."
In addition to the proposed changes to Title X, other regulatory actions include:
-- Proposing a shift in the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program to emphasize an abstinence-only approach.
-- Proposing new criteria for federal family-planning grants that would favor applicants who promote "natural family planning" and abstinence.
-- Expanding a ban on U.S. funding to foreign organizations that promote or provide abortions.
Professor Michael New, who teaches economics at Ave Maria University in Florida, agrees there's a major policy shift. But New, who opposes abortion, dismisses claims of dire consequences as "false and frankly absurd."
"President Trump is decidedly pro-life and it is his administration's prerogative to use federal funding rules to incrementally build a culture of life," said New. "The administration is seeking to redirect tax dollars away from entities like Planned Parenthood that treat abortion as a method of family planning and toward entities that affirm life and provide more holistic health care services."
Planned Parenthood, which survived attempts by congressional Republicans to deny it funding, says the administration's proposed changes to Title X could be another way of achieving the same goal. Planned Parenthood serves 41 percent of program clients, and operates 13 percent of the clinics.
Such facilities have become a specialized niche. Research from Texas after that state moved to oust Planned Parenthood showed that other local providers like community health centers were not able to easily fill the gap.
Dr. Stephanie Ho works for Planned Parenthood at a clinic in Arkansas that will have to stop offering medication abortions because of a state law that the Supreme Court this week allowed to take effect. The combination of state restrictions and administration actions worries her.
"They're pushing their views on everyone," she said. "They're ignoring scientific evidence and expert medical opinion."
Top Planned Parenthood officials say they will fight to remain in Title X, and will consider litigation if necessary to challenge new rules. HHS is expected to announce funding awards for the $260-million program this fall.
At a time when social mores on human reproduction continue changing across the world, some see the U.S. in a time warp.
"A lot of social conservative activists are still fighting the battles from the '60s and the sexual revolution," said Adam Sonfield, policy manager at The Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights. "That's their ultimate goal -- that some people will just give up and stop having sex."
But Kristi Hamrick, spokeswoman for Students for Life of America, said one result of the policy changes "may be that American women will find that life goes on without Planned Parenthood."

Question: Xscape member Kandi Burruss creates the soundtracks of our lives

This week, Berry Gordy, Jay Z, and James “Jimmy Jam” Harris and Terry Lewis will be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. They will join immortals such as Little Richard, Valerie Simpson and Nickolas Ashford, Dolly Parton, Nile Rodgers, Jerry Garcia, Marvin Gaye, Cyndi Lauper and more. This week The Undefeated celebrates future Songwriters Hall of Famers — the ones who make the whole world sing and bop, and even milly rock.
No one got out of the ’90s and the early 2000s without grooving to a Kandi Burruss song — even if they didn’t know it. The infectious singles she’s written have launched superstars and promoted female empowerment (with a backbeat), and her work continues to soundtrack our lives. Burruss’ songwriting skills helped to establish the careers of Beyoncé (1999’s “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Bug a Boo”), Justin Timberlake (2000’s “It Makes Me Ill”), Alicia Keys (2001’s “Jane Doe”), P!nk (2000’s “There You Go”) and even TLC, with the classic 1999 “No Scrubs” (written with Tiny Cottle, Kevin “She’kspere” Briggs and Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes). Gems, all. And the critically acclaimed “Scrubs” was nominated for Record of the Year at the Grammys, was a No. 1 pop hit in the United States and a massive success worldwide.
Burruss became famous as a singer in the girl group Xscape in 1992. They had three back-to-back platinum albums — 1993’s Hummin’ Comin’ at ‘Cha, 1995’s Off the Hook and 1998’s Traces of My Lipstick — and scored six Top 10 pop songs, including “Understanding,” “Just Kickin’ It” and “Who Can I Run To.” But here’s what was missing: Burruss’ voice as a songwriter. She never actually wrote for the group back then — Jermaine Dupri guided Xscape’s creative direction — but once Burruss got hold of a pen, she had a brilliant run as one of pop music’s go-to songwriters. Of course now, her fame has grown exponentially because of her turns on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta. But Burruss has been setting pop culture afire long before reality TV cameras started whirring.
How did you transition from being in a girl group to being a songwriter?
When our group first started, I used to make up songs for myself and come up with little ideas. I used to ask Jermaine, ‘Please let me write, or try to write.’ He was starting this thing where maybe he’d have a skeleton of the song … and he’d let us write on a verse or something. So I started coming up with song ideas outside of the group, going to the studio outside of the group … working with different producers. Just trying to work on my craft. And when our group started having problems, and LaTosha decided she wanted to go solo, I told Tameka, we need to do our own thing. So we start working with producers for our demo.
Is that how “No Scrubs” came about?
That was one of the songs we’d done for [Xscape]. Played it for L.A. Reid. L.A loved it and wanted it for TLC. I was like, ‘Let them have it.’ Because, in my mind, we could write more songs, and secondly, I always wanted to write for other artists but didn’t know how. But from there, my songwriting took off. I was able to write for everybody after that.
When did you know “No Scrubs” would be such a major track?
Before the song came out, I saw L.A at some little party. He was like, ‘I’m gonna make this the biggest song of your career!’ I was just happy to hear the song was actually going to be on the album. I didn’t know they were planning on making it the first single. It took off so quickly. It’s a song I love. I loved it when me and Tiny did it. I thought it was a great song.
Take me into the studio. Where did you and Tameka begin?
It was a do-or-die moment. My goal was, I don’t want to be in this position again where my fate is left to somebody else. I was talking to Tiny about how it’s really important for us to write our own music, so when we present it to the label we can show them that we can be our own executive producers. We can have more control over our projects. That was the whole goal of writing … we wanted them to see our vision.
“I can come up with a whole song and you can just be tapping the table.”
What is your inspiration for songwriting?
My inspiration was always relationships. I used to have this notepad that I’d write titles in. I was always great with melodies, but I knew, if you have a hook with a dope title, something easy to remember, and a subject people can relate to, that was the key to a hit. All those years of watching Jermaine come up with Xscape’s songs, that’s what I picked up. “No Scrubs” was in my notepad because that was a saying we used to dog out ninth-graders in high school — it was the name for underclassmen. But as I got older, me and my friends would call out dudes who weren’t on their s—. They were scrubs. It was just one of the many titles that I had.
How would you characterize your style of writing?
Before everybody started doing the singy-rappy type of style, I remember when I worked with N’Sync — and Justin Timberlake was like, ‘You need to put a name to this! It’s kind of like you’re singing, like you got melody, but you rapping! Maybe you should call it mapping!” He was just saying because it’s a melody and rap. I was like, ‘Um. No!’
You had a big job with Destiny’s Child’s sophomore album, 1999’s The Writing’s On The Wall. The group was looking to mature their sound.
I have five songs on that album. It was by chance that I ended up working with them. I remember [the producer] She’kspere … they flew him down … he flew me down, and I didn’t know how that was going to go. When you have a girls group on the same label, sometimes it can be a little awkward, like, ‘What’s she doing writing on that album?!’ Also, one of the girls was dating one of my ex-boyfriends at the time! Everything worked out fine.
You’ve either worked with people at very transformative moments in their careers.
Working with someone new, you have the chance to set the tone.
That said, you didn’t shy away from people with massive careers like Mariah Carey. You worked with on her Rainbow (1999).
I loved Mariah … I would love the opportunity to work with her again. I didn’t feel like I really was able to do the best for her. She was really busy … working overseas. We had to send her files. Then she would call me over the phone during her breaks, and we collaborated. We came up with something pretty good, [but] I still would have rather been able to be in the studio with her.
P!nk’s “There You Go” was massive. You had a white girl with a soulful voice who looked like she could be in a grunge band.
I always knew her as this white girl with an urban voice. I was excited to work with her because I knew the label was going to be supportive of her. I wanted to give her something that was dope. It was kind of easy. I just had to give her a hit. Now she [has] transformed into this rock star, which is so much different than where she was when she first started. I’d love to work with her again at this phase.
You helped introduce us to Alicia Keys with the “Jane Doe” track on her debut, 2001’s Songs in A Minor.
The title “Jane Doe” was in my notebook that I keep telling you about. At the time, Michael Mauldin was working with her — and obviously that’s Jermaine’s dad. I really like new artists. I loved the fact that she was a musician and that she produced a lot of her own stuff. I thought that whole thing was dope … that’s something that I envy in a good way: people who can play what they’re thinking. I can come up with the melody of the song and everything in my head, but I can’t play it. I can come up with a whole song and you can just be tapping the table, and I can come up with a whole song around it. Because in my head I hear the music, but I can’t play it. So when I’m around other people that can play and actually put beats together with what they hear in their head, it’s something I wish I could do.
“When I worked with N’Sync, Justin Timberlake was like, ‘You need to put a name to this! It’s kind of like you’re singing, like you got melody, but you rapping!’ ”
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Were you as surprised to hear that?
What took so long? When you think of superstar writing teams, I mean, they’re at the top of the list. Jam, Babyface, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder. They’re at the top.
What have you learned from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis?
They’re inspiring. Every time I’ve met them, they have kind words.
You come from a world of hip-hop. What does it mean for you that Jay Z is getting inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame?
I think it’s dope. You can’t deny what he’s accomplished with his career. As a rapper, he has done things that other rappers could only dream of doing. It’s well-deserved.
What does it mean to you that “No Scrubs” still has resonance today? So much so that a part of it is on the biggest track in music right now, with Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You.”
“No Scrubs” has turned into three No. 1’s for me. Do you remember “No Pigeons,” the response to “No Scrubs”? That was No. 1, too. And then, now, Ed Sheeran’s song. For a record to be able to multiply into three hits, thank the Lord! It’s crazy. It does feel good … and I’m appreciative of Sheeran being inspired by “No Scrubs” and including us in his current hit. I admire him as a songwriter. And to know he’s inspired by something that I wrote? It’s dope to me.
What do you hope for your legacy as a songwriter?
I just want to have those songs that when people listen to it they can say, ‘Oh, you know that was a Kandi song!’ Or it makes you feel a certain way, or you play it when you’re going through something. Or … you can remember where you were when you played that record. I hope my songs bring good thoughts to people’s minds.

Many fans took to commenting on her post, asking her to focus solely on her music as she has an interesting media rap sheet at this point. And she just might take that advice.
Banks professed that she’s “happy and grateful” and in a statement to XXL, President of Music, Chris Taylor, said, “We are excited to welcome Azealia to eOne, and to partner with our new superstar in this next phase of her career.”

Question: Nightmare: Facebook Gave Users the Option to Search for Child Pornography

Facebook has apologized for its search auto-fill function suggesting sexual acts, including with minors.
The Hill reported that Facebook users began posting images on social media of the search suggestions popping up when they typed “videos of” last week.
There were multiple references to sexual acts involving minors.
Facebook released a statement apologizing for the issue.

“As soon as we became aware of these offensive predictions we removed them. Facebook search predictions are representative of what people may be searching for on Facebook and are not necessarily reflective of actual content on the platform,” the company said in a statement to The U.K. Guardian.
“We do not allow sexually explicit imagery, and we are committed to keeping such content off of our site,” Facebook added.
Earlier this month, Facebook admitted to making another “mistake” when it sent a survey out questioning whether pedophiles requesting pictures on Facebook should be permitted.
“There are a wide range of topics and behaviors that appear on Facebook,” read one question, The Hill reported. “In thinking about an ideal world where you could set Facebook’s policies, how would you handle the following: a private message in which an adult man asks a 14-year-old girl for sexual pictures.”

Company vice president Guy Rosen tweeted, “We run surveys to understand how the community thinks about how we set policies. But this kind of activity is and will always be completely unacceptable on FB.”
“We regularly work with authorities if identified,” he added. “It shouldn’t have been part of this survey. That was a mistake.”

Question: Mayfly swarm takes over Louisiana gas station in creepy video

Please enable Javascript to watch this video
SLIDELL, La. - Would you stop for gas if you saw this at the pumps?
This creepy video shows a massive swarm of mayflies taking over a convenience store in Slidell, Louisiana.
"I saw it last night around 11 and it was crazy," says Dalton Bond, who witnessed the swarm firsthand.
Kenny Hickman, who captured the frenzy on his cell phone, says it's unlike anything he's ever seen.
"I started filming it with my phone and I'm like I'm not getting out,” Hickman tells WGNO.
Thankfully, mayflies have a short lifespan and typically live for roughly 24 hours.
"I'm either having them for dinner, up my ears, up my nose, I haven't seen so many before swarm," says Hickman.
Just like moths, mayflies are attracted to light, so a bright gas station fits the bill no matter how unnerving their buggy behavior seems to us.
According to Entomology Today, mayfly swarms are common in late spring and early summer during mating season.

Question: Lewis, Moss, Owens, Urlacher highlight 8-person Hall class

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher terrorized opposing offenses from the middle of the field. Randy Moss and Terrell Owens did the same to defenses on the outside.
The two hard-hitting linebackers and two big-play receivers highlighted an eight-person class voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. Safety Brian Dawkins also received at least 80 percent support from the 47 Hall of Fame voters, along with contributor Bobby Beathard and senior nominees Jerry Kramer and Robert Brazile.
But the biggest stars of the class are the two linebackers that made it on their first tries, and the pair of lightning-rod receiver who sometimes caused as many problems for their own teams as for the opposition. Moss also made it on his first try, while Owens needed to wait for his third year on the ballot to get enough support.
"I've been going a long time. And now I can finally rest," Lewis said. "I want to go fishing with a cigar now and just sit back. I don't want to work out every day now."
Moss and Owens each played for five teams in their careers as they often wore out their welcome with their inability to get along with teammates and coaches at times.
But at their best, there were few players ever able to strike fear in defenses as much as Moss and Owens, who were both all-decade selections for the 2000s.
"The door knocked and I started getting excited," Moss said of Hall of Fame President David Baker alerting him he has been elected. "All the emotions caught the best of me because it's been a long journey and it ends in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Tears of joy."
Moss burst on the scene as a rookie in Minnesota in 1998 when he caught a league-leading 17 TD catches and helped lead the Vikings to the NFC title game. His combination of speed and athleticism made him the game's most dangerous big-play threat and led to the phrase "You got Mossed" for embarrassed defensive backs.
He led the NFL in TD catches five times, including his record 23 for New England in 2007, and earned four All-Pro selections. He finished his career with 982 catches for 15,292 yards and ranks second all-time with 156 TD receptions.
Owens, who didn't attend the announcement, entered the league as a third-round pick by San Francisco in 1996 but developed into a star known for some memorable playoff appearances, including his winning 25-yard TD catch to beat Green Bay in 1999; his 177 yards in a comeback win against the Giants in 2003; and his nine catches for 122 yards in the 2004 Super Bowl against New England just seven weeks after breaking his leg.
Owens ranks second to Jerry Rice with 15,934 yards receiving and is third on the all-time touchdowns receiving list with 153.
Lewis is widely considered one of the greatest middle linebackers, winning two AP Defensive Player of the Year awards and earning eight All-Pro selections. He anchored a dominant defense for the 2000 Baltimore Ravens in a season that ended with him winning Super Bowl MVP, then retired as a champion after Baltimore closed his last season with a title win over San Francisco in February 2013.
"Growing up as a child, I know what that looked like, Mike Singletary, Dick Butkus," Lewis said. "Who dreams of being in that category, sitting with those guys?"
Lewis joined tackle Jonathan Ogden as the only Ravens voted into the Hall of Fame as both of the team's first-round picks in its initial season of 1996 received the high honor.
Lewis' career was also marked by legal problems off the field. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice after initially being charged with murder in connection with two killings following a Super Bowl party in Atlanta in January 2000. Lewis was also fined $250,000 by the NFL.
Urlacher wasn't far behind Lewis with his play on the field and is the latest in a line of great Chicago middle linebackers to make the Hall, joining Butkus, Singletary and Bill George. He was the Defensive Player of the Year of 2005 and joined Lewis on the 2000s all-decade team.
Dawkins spent most of his 16-year career in Philadelphia, earning five first-team All-Pro selections for his versatility that included 37 career interceptions and 26 career sacks. He became the first player in NFL history with a sack, interception, fumble recovery and touchdown catch in the same game against Houston in 2002.
Kramer got passed over 10 times previously as a finalist before finally getting enough votes as a senior to become the 14th member of the Vince Lombardi Packers to make the Hall. Kramer helped anchor the Green Bay line for 11 seasons, winning six NFL titles and making the block that cleared the way for Bart Starr's TD sneak in the "Ice Bowl" for the 1967 NFL championship.
Brazile was a finalist for the first time after a 10-year career for the Houston Oilers that included five straight All-Pro selections.
Beathard, also not on hand Saturday, helped build four Super Bowl champions in Miami and Washington and made seven trips to the title game during more than three decades as a personnel executive with a sharp eye for talent.
Five offensive linemen were among the 15 finalists, with tackle Joe Jacoby getting eliminated in voting that reduced the candidates to 10, and tackle Tony Boselli, guards Alan Faneca and Steve Hutchinson, and center Kevin Mawae getting cut in the next round of voting.
Cornerback Ty Law also made it to the final 10 in his second time on the ballot. Defensive backs John Lynch and Everson Walls, receiver Isaac Bruce and running back Edgerrin James were the other candidates eliminated in the first cuts.
"I'm glad I didn't have to vote for this class," Urlacher said. "It's a great class."

Question: PACIFIC SYMPHONY’S CAFÉ LUDWIG RETURNS TO SERVE UP 2017-18 SEASON’S FIRST DELICIOUS HELPING OF CHAMBER MUSIC WITH “BEETHOVEN & SCHUBERT” - Aliso Laguna News

this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

Café Ludwig, Pacific Symphony’s perennially popular chamber music series, launches its 2017-18 season by asking the question: was Schubert Beethoven’s biggest fan? The incomparable pianist and host Orli Shaham—whose playing the London Guardian has called “perfection”—enters her 10th season of performing and curating the series with a tantalizing program that explores the relationship between the two musical giants, Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert.
Shaham’s intriguing programming always includes a thematic thread that connects the individual pieces. For this concert, the audience discovers that Schubert indeed became a passionate devotee of the older composer’s music. In fact, on his deathbed Schubert asked to be buried in a grave alongside Beethoven.
In addition to Shaham, the program spotlights the talent of two exceptional Symphony musicians: violinist Paul Manaster and cellist Timothy Landauer.
Audience members sip coffee or tea and sample sweet treats in a coffeehouse-style setting, while enjoying the aural beauty of Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata and Piano Trio No. 1 in B-flat Major, D. 898; plus, Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 30 in E Major, Op. 109. The matinee performance of “Beethoven & Schubert” takes place Sunday, Oct. 8, at 3 p.m., in the Samueli Theater at Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Season ticket packages are $189-$240. Single tickets are $70 and $89. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.
“The three masterpieces on this Café Ludwig program were all composed in the 1820s in Vienna,” points out Shaham. “With this program, we get a slice of the musical discourse from nearly 200 years ago!”
It is not news that the music from that single city during that era has maintained its prominence, but it is intriguing to look at some specific works in order to understand the depth of art that existed then. More specifically, it is interesting to see the two greatest masters of the era in their approaches to these intimate genres. Schubert was about 27 years younger than Beethoven, and Beethoven’s long shadow loomed large for him his entire life. As a young student, Schubert played in the violin section of the great Beethoven symphonies with his school orchestra and no doubt heard multiple premieres and early performances of Beethoven’s music. He always aspired to be a great composer himself, but clearly he was always aware of how his music related to Beethoven’s.
Shaham notes: “The evidence of their meeting is unreliable, so we do not know for sure whether they interacted directly, but as they were both prominent members of a small musical community, they must have encountered each other repeatedly.”
Schubert, for his part, admired Beethoven’s music enormously, and it is no accident that his greatest successes during his lifetime came in Lieder (songs), a genre that Beethoven all but dropped after Schubert came on the scene. Perhaps that says something of Beethoven’s admiration for his younger colleague as well.
“You can hear especially in the B-flat Piano Trio that Schubert was composing in the same musical language as Beethoven,” says Shaham. “In many ways, this trio follows the forms and rhetoric set up by Beethoven’s trios, though Schubert’s ability to compose rich melodies suffuses the whole. Nevertheless, even within this common language, their utterances were entirely personal. I hope that hearing the two works on the first half before this trio will help us all attune our ears to the influences of both composers in the Trio.”
Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata, written for a friend who had become a virtuoso on the recently invented and soon-to-be-forgotten arpeggione (a bowed six-string instrument), is a work of great lyricism, buoyancy and Viennese charm. This sonata has become a mainstay of the cello repertoire. While it is highly virtuosic and devilishly difficult at times, it is a work that feels simple and natural to the ear. Schubert’s great ease with creating beautiful singing melodies is evident throughout, as is his sense of the dramatic and storytelling aspects of music.
“Having developed such a deep musical collaboration with the great Tim Landauer over these past 10 seasons,” says Shaham, “I’m particularly looking forward to exploring with him this work of perfection.”
Shaham confesses that Beethoven’s Piano Sonata, Op. 109, one of the final three of his 32, is one that has always spoken to her. “Unlike the Arpeggione, it is not built on tunes but more on intervals, relationships between pitches and motivic ideas,” she says. “As is typical of Beethoven, the long arc of the work and the sense of drama throughout serve to tie the piece into a perfect whole.”
The first two movements, one in E major, the other in E minor, seem to be relating all the emotions of humanity, from hesitant discovery to elation to desperation. The theme of the last movement, which provides the first calm, centered focal point for the listener, has always seemed to Shaham to be a perfect song distilled to its barest essence: “The Sonata is in an unusual form, pushing the boundaries (as a composer might later in life) of what the genre can hold. Its three movements are heavily weighted to the last, which is a set of variations on this rather slow, singing, apparently simple theme.”
The variations take the audience through a history of the work itself, seeming to contain all of life’s joys and woes. They culminate in spectacular ringing of the piano as it reaches for the heavens, and then drop the listener finally back in the original simple song, changed forever by the experience.
“I hope that this program allows us all to feel more deeply what the world of Vienna of the 1820s would have felt like, and to relish the unbroken connection of our shared humanity,” concludes Shaham.

Question: Top North Korean official lands in US for talks with Pompeo

represent the article to find a fitting news title

A senior North Korean official arrived in New York on Wednesday in the highest-level official visit to the United States in 18 years, as President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un sought to salvage prospects for a high-stakes nuclear summit.
Kim Yong Chol, the former military intelligence chief and one of the North Korean leader's closest aides, landed mid-afternoon on an Air China flight from Beijing. Associated Press journalists saw the plane taxi down the tarmac before the North's delegation disembarked at JFK International Airport.
During his unusual visit, Kim Yong Chol was to have dinner Wednesday with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who traveled from Washington to see him. The two planned a "day full of meetings" on Thursday, the White House said. Their talks will be aimed at determining whether a meeting between Trump and Kim Jong Un, originally scheduled for June 12 but later canceled by Trump, can be restored, U.S. officials have said.
The talks come as preparations for the highly anticipated summit in Singapore were barreling forward on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, despite lingering uncertainty about whether it will really occur, and when. As Kim and Pompeo were meeting in New York, other U.S. teams were meeting with North Korean officials in Singapore and in the heavily fortified Korean Demilitarized Zone.
"If it happens, we'll certainly be ready," White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said of the Singapore summit. Regarding the date for the meeting, she added, "We're going to continue to shoot for June 12th."
North Korea's flurry of diplomatic activity following a torrid run in nuclear weapons and missile tests in 2017 suggests that Kim Jong Un is eager for sanctions relief to build his economy and the international legitimacy the summit with Trump would provide. But there are lingering doubts on whether Kim will ever fully relinquish his nuclear arsenal, which he may see as his only guarantee of survival in a region surrounded by enemies.
Trump announced that Kim Yong Chol was coming to New York for talks with Pompeo in a tweet on Tuesday in which he said he had a "great team" working on the summit. That was a shift from last week, when Trump announced in an open letter to Kim Jong Un that he had decided to "terminate" the summit following a provocative statement from the North.
Pompeo, Trump's former CIA chief, has traveled to Pyongyang twice in recent weeks for meetings with Kim Jong Un, and has said there is a "shared understanding" between the two sides about what they hope to achieve in talks. South Korean media speculated that Pompeo could make a third trip to Pyongyang and that Kim Yong Chol was carrying a personal letter from Kim Jong Un and might push to travel to Washington to meet with Trump.
North Korea's mission to the United Nations in New York is its sole diplomatic presence in the United States. That suggests Kim might have chosen to first go to New York because it would make it easier for him to communicate with officials in Pyongyang, North Korea's capital. North Korea and the United States are still technically at war and have no diplomatic ties because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.
Trump views a summit as a legacy-defining opportunity to make the nuclear deal that has evaded others, but he pledged to walk away from the meeting if he believed the North wasn't serious about discussing dismantling its nuclear program.
After the North's combative statements, there was debate inside the Trump administration about whether it marked a real turn to belligerence or a feint to see how far Kim Jong Un could push the U.S. in the lead-up to the talks. Trump had mused that Kim's "attitude" had changed after the North Korean leader's surprise visit to China two weeks ago, suggesting China was pushing Kim away from the table. Trump's letter, the aides said, was designed to pressure the North on the international stage for appearing to have cold feet.
White House officials maintain that Trump was hopeful the North was merely negotiating but that he was prepared for the letter to mark the end of the two-month flirtation. Instead, the officials said, it brought both sides to the table with increasing seriousness, as they work through myriad logistical and policy decisions to keep June 12 a viable option for the summit.
Kim Yong Chol is a vice chairman of the North Korean ruling party's central committee. The last official of his stature to visit the United States was Jo Myong Rok, the late first vice chairman of the National Defense Commission, who visited Washington in 2000, South Korea's Unification Ministry said.
The White House emphasized that it has remained in close contact with South Korean and Japanese officials as preparations for the talks continue. Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump will host Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan on June 7 to coordinate their thinking ahead of the summit. Trump hosted South Korean President Moon Jae-in last week.
Moon, who has lobbied hard for nuclear negotiations between Trump and Kim Jong Un, held a surprise meeting with the North Korean leader on Saturday in an effort to keep the summit alive.

HELSINKI — Finland’s foreign minister says representatives from North and South Korea are holding diplomatic talks in the Nordic country and describes Finland’s role as a “facilitator.”
Foreign Minister Timo Soini told the Finnish news agency STT on Monday that Finland “is making this meeting possible” by helping arrange it but wouldn’t mediate in the actual negotiations. He gave no other details.
Senior North Korean diplomat Choe Kang Il, who handles North American affairs in Pyongyang, arrived in Helsinki on Sunday for talks with South Korean security experts and allegedly also with former U.S. diplomats, including the former U.S. Ambassador to South Korea, Kathleen Stephens.
The meeting comes just two days after North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho held days of diplomatic talks in neighbouring Sweden.

Question: When Dating In The Era Of Divisive Politics, Both Sides Stick To Themselves

They say opposites attract. But these days, maybe not so much.
A growing number of singles are adding a clause to their online dating profiles telling either Trump haters or Trump supporters — depending on their political preference — that they need not apply.
"This was like a deal breaker for me," says 50-year-old Elizabeth Jagosz from the Detroit area. "If you are Trump supporter, I'm not even going to consider meeting you for coffee."
It's not just an issue of party politics, Jagosz says. It's about core values. Love, she says, cannot conquer all.
"If you don't care about a person who says you can grab women by the pussy and that's OK — I don't wanna date you if you think that behavior's OK," Jagosz says. "If that's not a deal breaker for you, then you and I have nothing to talk about."
As another single put it in her profile, "Red hats need not apply."
But the people wearing those red hats — the ones stamped with "Make America Great Again" — have been feeling the same way.
This lack of desire from liberals and conservatives to date each other is what David Goss says prompted him to launch TrumpSingles.com.
"Yeah, it's both ways," Goss says. "You know, like a liberal doesn't want to date a Nazi. And a republican doesn't want to date, well, a whiny snowflake, and that's what they're viewing each other as."
TrumpSingles.com is a kind of safe space for Trump supporters who say they're sick of the "lefties" refusing to even give them a chance.
"[The liberals] are just repeating this left echo chamber of 'Oh, you must be a racist; oh, you must be a homophobe; oh, you must be a misogynist,' " Goss says. "They're judging the people based on who they voted for without actually getting to know them."
Helen Fisher, the chief scientific adviser to the Internet dating website Match.com, says new research from the website shows both liberals and conservatives are moving away from the center of the political spectrum.
"There's a real distinct difference that we're seeing today, and all singles are becoming more rigid in their views," she says.
The data also shows that singles are more likely now to shun those who are at the other end of the political spectrum. And liberals are more likely to spurn conservatives than the other way around.
"I think it's very natural to the human animal to bring it into the idea of 'OK, you like this person, well, you must be like that person then,' " Fisher says. "America is taking this very, very personally. No question about it."
Looking back now, it seems almost unfathomable that even two opposing campaign advisers could cross the aisle and then actually walk down the aisle as James Carville and Mary Matalin did in 1993.
As Carville famously put it once, "You can love the sinner and hate the sin."
The couple says their secret to survival and harmony at home is simply agreeing to disagree.
But today, singles seem to be saying they just can't do that.
"I mean, I wish I could just go out and tell everyone to knock it off and be cool with each other, but it's just not going to work that way," Goss says.
His Trump Singles dating site is up to 35,000 members. LiberalHearts.com, founded by Salvatore Prano, is up to nearly 50,000.
"There's more activity now than ever," Prano says. "I knew liberals would only find comfort in each other's arms."
But there is one other option for lonely liberals. Single Joe Goldman founded MapleMatch.com, a dating site that helps Americans find Canadians "to save them from the unfathomable horror of a Trump presidency." Goldman became his own first client.
"I can't tell you the sinking feeling I felt [after the election]," he says. "That's not the country I want to live in. So why not consider places that might be more in line with my values, like Canada."
It may be better than the alternative. According to the new Match.com survey, a growing number of liberals today are simply choosing to not date at all.

Question: Baby tossed from 10th-story window during London fire caught by man

represent this text to find a news title for it

During Wednesday's massive fire that engulfed a 24-story high rise apartment complex in London, a woman was seen tossing a baby out of a 10th-story window to bystanders on the ground, multiple English media outlets reported.
According to an eyewitness' account to the Telegraph, the baby was caught by a man on the street below.
"The windows were slightly ajar, a woman was gesturing that she was about to throw her baby and if somebody could catch her baby," Samira Lamrani told the Telegraph. "Somebody did, a gentleman ran forward and managed to grab the baby."
Another eyewitness told the Telegraph that another adult tossed a young child, roughly 5 years of age, out of a fifth or sixth-story window.
"There was another woman screaming 'my baby, my baby, I need to get out, I need to save my baby,'" the eyewitness told the Telegraph.
There is no word on whether either child's family made it out safely.
According to local officials, 12 people died in the blaze at the Grenfell Tower.

A 96-year-old great grandmother says she thought she was going to die when she found an intruder in the bedroom of her St Albans home.

Question: In Indian Science Congress papers: Yoga & Gita for spiritual health in social media era

INDIA APPEARS stressed out, fatigued by social media, in need of Patanjali yoga, and should ideally apply the Bhagwat Gita’s messages to modern society.
These are some of the observations and remedies to ensure the country’s “well-being”, according to papers submitted under the ‘Anthropological and Behavioural Sciences’ section at the 105th Indian Science Congress.
Among the topics covered in this section were predictors of life satisfaction among young adults, forgiveness as related to emotional well-being and gratitude, science and tech in yogic exercises, compassion predicting well-being, and the role of spiritual healing in the Indian health care delivery system.
Read | Few women in science, fewer on stage of Science Congress to speak about it
“It just so happened there were several such papers submitted this year,” says Rakesh Srivastava, a retired psychology professor and president of this section. The five-day Congress ends Tuesday.
“India is stressed out but it is also fashionable nowadays to say ‘I am stressed’. The reason you see more research on wellness or well-being is because this is a new concept in psychology. From clinical psychology, we are looking at positive aspects of longevity and subjective well-being,” says Vandana Sharma, a psychology professor from the Akal University in Bathinda, who was scheduled to speak on the ‘Efficacy of Raag Bhairavi: Spiritual Wellness Perspective’.
Sharma, a proponent of “music therapy” who could not make it to Imphal due to work commitments, says the focus of psychology has of late shifted to “positive psychology”.
One of the papers deals with the ‘Impact of social-networking sites on well-being of college students in Jharkhand’ and finds their “ethnicity” has a significant main effect on subjective well-being.
A paper submitted by two faculty members from the University of Lucknow attempted to study how the dohas (couplets) of Sant Kabirdas can “generate emotional maturity among people” and thus create a national consciousness. “There is an urgent need to create a phenomenon of national consciousness. This can be achieved through awakening the youth to the truth that all Indians share the same emotional bond with their country,” reads the abstract.
While one paper spells out the role behavioural scientists can play in the well-being of farmers in the wake of hardships they face due to the economy and climate change, another studies the spiritual intelligence in India’s agricultural scientists. Here, spiritual intelligence is defined as being “associated with fulfillment of higher order needs collectively termed a growth or ‘being needs’”.
The paper finds that “scientists with very high research contribution were found to be significantly higher in their SQ as compared to the scientists with low research contributions”.
Another ISC enthusiast who could not make it this time due to work commitments is the District Magistrate of Muzzafarnagar, Rajeev Sharma. He had been accepted to speak while he was special secretary in the Public Works Department in the Uttar Pradesh but was recently transferred as DM.
In the previous two editions, Sharma spoke about the health benefits and scientific methodology involved in blowing of the conch. This time, he was scheduled to speak on ‘Mindfulness, Dhyana and Yoga – an analysis of Yoga procedures and practices in orders to promote mindfulness or Dhyana’.
“I did my PhD in Yog-therapy and I have done extensive research on all these subjects, so I was really looking forward to speaking this year,” he says.
The abstract of his paper reads: “The mindfulness of positive psychology is nothing by Dhyana which is the essential psychological ingredient of a man… The Patanjali’s ‘Ashtang Yoga’ specifically describes the method of achieving Dhyana or mindfulness.”

US President Donald Trump (File) US President Donald Trump (File)
US President Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement has united the rest of the world to think of alternate ways to save our planet, Eduard Muller, the founder and president of University for International Co-operation, said on Wednesday.
He was visiting the city to address a ‘knowledge symposium’ on ‘Cultural Leadership and Global Peace’, jointly organised by Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, the Servants of India Society and Sri Ramanujan Mission Trust.
“Though I was disappointed at the election of Trump, now I think his decision to pull out of Paris Agreement has brought the world together. We can now think on non-commercial lines to protect our planet for the coming generations,” said Muller, also a climate change expert from Costa Rica.
With the time for sustainable development having passed, he also urged that India must lead in actions taken to rejuvenate the planet. “The pace of climate change is really rapid and it is far beyond our imagination. We need to double our efforts towards helping control the warming of the planet,” he added. Other experts present at the symposium also talked about how various aspects, including music, art, yoga, significantly contribute towards bringing peace to the world.
Also present on the occasion was Cruz Mariela, the Costa Rican ambassador to India, who hailed India’s contribution to the world, while emphasising on yoga. Reminiscing her 14-year-long association with yoga and India, which includes being a yoga researcher at Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in the city, the ambassador said “I regained the concept of sankalp ( intention) through yoga, and it changed me completely.”
She also discussed the common factors between the two countries, which included the love for culture, music and value system. Expressing her eagerness for partnering with India, the ambassador also informed that her country is open to learning about solar energy at the upcoming Solar Alliance meet, to be hosted in India later this year. According to another delegate Paolo Petrocelli, cultural and music diplomacy officer at the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, the world needs to unite to find solutions for effective problem-solving.
“Along with coming together, the world must also make use of music, art, literature and cinema to address global issues,” said Petrocelli, a violinist. Mariela added that more Indians must practice yoga, while stressing on the practice has gained popularity in Costa Rica and the western world.

Question: Not Real News: Alabama Senate race spurs false reports

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — As Alabama's high-profile Senate race heads toward a Tuesday vote, supporters and opponents of GOP candidate Roy Moore are bending the truth — or shattering it to pieces — in the campaign's final stretch.
One website falsely proclaimed that one of the women who accused Moore of sexual misconduct had recanted. Another erroneously reported that a Moore accuser "forged" his yearbook inscription to her. On the other side, Moore's detractors took to social media to assert, erroneously, that Moore had written in a 2011 textbook that women shouldn't hold elected office.
The Associated Press checked these out; here are the real facts:
NOT REAL: BREAKING: Roy Moore's Lying Accuser Admits He Didn't Ever Touch Her
THE FACTS: None of the women who accused the Alabama Republican Senate candidate of sexual misconduct, including two women who said Moore molested them, have backed off their initial claims. This fake headline is from a website, Reagan Was Right, which promotes hoaxes and satire. The woman featured in a photograph accompanying the story shows a British reality TV star, not any of the eight women who have accused Moore of sexual misconduct.
NOT REAL: Claims that Roy Moore authored a textbook in 2011 that says women shouldn't run for office
THE FACTS: Moore is in fact a co-author of a "textbook" which serves as a study guide for a series of Bible-based video and audio lectures on U.S. law and public policy. The course packaging also identifies him as a "featured speaker." Despite claims spread on the web this week, however, Moore did not author the specific section or deliver the lecture that argues that women should not hold elected office. That talk was given by William Einwechter, an elder at Immanuel Free Reformed Church in Pennsylvania. Moore's office says he does not believe that women are unqualified for public office.
NOT REAL: BREAKING: ROY MOORE ACCUSER ADMITS SHE FORGED PART OF YEARBOOK INSCRIPTION!!!
THE FACTS: Moore supporters celebrated misleading news that Beverly Nelson, one of his accusers, admitted forging a 1977 yearbook inscription that was considered key evidence against the Alabama Republican. The inscription reads, "To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say, 'Merry Christmas.'" It is followed by the signature "Roy Moore D.A." and the notation "12-22-77 Olde Hickory House." Nelson's attorney, Gloria Allred, said Friday that Nelson had added the date and restaurant name to the inscription. However, Allred also said that a handwriting expert found Moore's signature in the yearbook to be authentic.

Question: Man transforms his front lawn into a giant American flag to celebrate the Fourth of July

Arthur McCann's tribute to veterans takes up most of the front lawn of his Norwood, Massachusetts, home: A giant American flag, spray-painted using field paint.

Arthur McCann's tribute to veterans takes up most of the front lawn of his Norwood, Massachusetts, home.
It's a giant American flag, spray-painted using field paint. And it will stay there for several months before the paint grows out, he told USA TODAY.
“I just like to go big," he said. He estimates the flag measures roughly 30 by 20 feet.
McCann, who runs a maintenance department, said it took him about two hours to create the tribute.
McCann said his grandfather served in the Navy in World War II. The flag is an artistic tribute to those who served, he said.
This is the second time he's painted the flag before an annual Fourth of July party at his house. He said locals drive by to see the flag.
It's a patriotic community, he said. There are lots of flags displayed in his neighborhood. There also are a large number of veterans who live in the area, located southwest of Boston.
He hopes no one takes the flag the wrong way. It's not a political statement to him — it's a patriotic one: “I really do this for a positive message,” he said.
Opinion: July Fourth is a celebration of the founding freedoms we need to teach in our schools
Later on Wednesday, McCann plans to welcome about 75 people into his home for a Fourth of July party.
They'll eat chicken, burgers, mac and cheese, corn bread, sausages, and more.
“I just love America and the freedom and opportunities it gives and I love to be creative,” McCann told WBZ-TV.
