Question: Spurned medical marijuana applicant pushes new pot issue

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A high-profile proponent of marijuana legalization who was spurned as an applicant for a medical marijuana grower’s license announced plans on Monday for a 2018 Ohio ballot issue to legalize the sale and possession of marijuana.
The proposal from Green Light Acquisitions would make growing, processing, possessing, selling and using marijuana legal. The measure was announced by Jimmy Gould, CEO of CannAscend, whose grower’s proposal was rejected by the Ohio Department of Commerce last month.
Gould said the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol amendment will be on the ballot next fall. The amendment also would legalize the growing of hemp.
“We will put together the best amendment that we think will pass and does the most good for Ohioans,” Gould said.
Gould raised and spent millions of dollars as a backer of the unsuccessful 2015 effort to legalize marijuana in Ohio. In recent days he has criticized the Department of Commerce for hiring a consultant with a Pennsylvania drug conviction to help select Ohio’s medical marijuana growers.
Gould said Monday the selection system was flawed by incompetence and favoritism. He suggested problems with a second consultant involved in the medical marijuana program. He also alleged someone at the Department of Commerce was looking for a job with the applicants for growers’ licenses.
Commerce spokeswoman Kerry Francis denied those allegations Monday. She said consultants hired by the state to help score growers’ applications had limited influence on overall selections and were unaware of the identities of applicants they reviewed.
She said applicants denied grower’s licenses can appeal.
“We have confidence that we had a blind and impartial process,” Francis said.
Gould’s criticism — picked up by some lawmakers and several candidates running for governor — focuses on the 2005 guilty plea in Pennsylvania by consultant Trevor Bozeman at age 20 to charges of manufacturing, possessing and distributing drugs. A marijuana possession charge was dropped.
Bozeman was one of three consultants Ohio selected to help grade the grower applications. The consultants worked with state employees to select the growers. Bozeman has not returned phone and email messages.
Also Monday, the lawmaker who helped craft Ohio’s medical marijuana law expressed concerns about the application process.
State Rep. Kirk Schuring, a Canton Republican, said he’s concerned that nearly seven in 10 of all cultivator applications were ruled out of consideration.
Schuring said he wants to move quickly because the system must be up and running by September. He plans a Thursday meeting with Commerce Director Jacqueline Williams.
Last month, Ohio selected 12 large growers for a total of 24 licenses.
The state will use the consultants next to help score applicants for the medical marijuana processors.
Ohio’s medical marijuana law, passed last year, allows people with medical conditions such as cancer and epilepsy to buy and use marijuana if a doctor recommends it. It doesn’t allow smoking.

NEW YORK — Marijuana farm investor Serge Chistov is shrugging off anti-weed rhetoric from Attorney General Jeff Sessions as just a bunch of reefer madness.
“If Sessions picks this fight, he’s going to lose,” said Chistov, an investor in the Honest Marijuana Company in Colorado, the first of eight states that have legalized pot for non-medical use. “He’s going to be fighting against the money.”
Recreational pot is already for sale in Oregon, Washington and Colorado, where Chistov praises its benefits to the economy.
“I’m not changing my business plan one iota,” he said. “This is the winning strategy.” He said legal pot’s popularity will help him prevail against any possible federal intervention, which would cost too much tax money to implement effectively.
Under the Obama administration, eight states and Washington, D.C. voted to legalize recreational marijuana. Colorado, Washington and Oregon were the first states to do so, and they’ve already developed a regulated, taxable industry for recreational marijuana, with dispensaries and growers. The other five states voted to legalize recreational marijuana on the day Trump was elected, but haven’t had time to develop a regulatory structure.
Sessions hasn’t said anything specific about what he’s going to do about marijuana, or if he’s going to do anything at all. But it’s still illegal under federal law, and Sessions has made it clear that he’s against legalization.
“I reject the idea that American will be a better place if marijuana is sold in every corner store,” he said, in a speech in Richmond, Va., last month. “And I am astonished to hear people suggest that we can solve our heroin crisis by legalizing marijuana — so people can trade one life-wrecking dependency for another that’s only slightly less awful.”
The Attorney General recently appointed a task force to review “existing policies” for marijuana and to “ensure consistency” with the anti-drug policy of the Trump administration.
Separately, White House press secretary Sean Spicer has said to expect “greater enforcement” of federal marijuana laws.
Steve Rusnack, owner of the Full Bloom Cannabis dispensary in Fork Kent, Maine, sells medical marijuana and would like to expend into recreational now that it’s been legalized by the state. But he’s concerned about the possibility of a federal crackdown.
“If I start seeing DEA agents locking down recreational businesses out West, I’m going to stick with medical,” said Rusnack. “I’ve got a family. I don’t want to get locked up.”
Maine is one of five states, along with California, Nevada, Alaska and Massachusetts, that voted to legalize recreational marijuana last year. State lawmakers still have to work out regulations, and local jurisdictions also have to set tax rates and make zoning decisions as to where the dispensaries will be located.
Marijuana investors, farmers and retailers typically start out with medical and then branch into recreational as their states legalize that, too. Many of them are pushing ahead, undeterred by Trump. Zach Lazarus, COO of the Green Alternative Medical Marijuana Dispensary in San Diego, and Priscilla Vilchis, CEO of Premium Produce, a medical marijuana company in Nevada, both said they’re going to start selling recreational cannabis in accordance with state laws.
Business is booming, and it’s expected to grow. New Frontier Data, which analyzes the cannabis industry, projects that it could top $21 billion in annual sales by 2020 and employ 300,000 workers nationwide.
“Can we put the genie back in the bottle? Most people would say no,” said Giadha Aguirre De Carcer, the firm’s founder and CEO.
Justin Olsen of New World Organics, a small dispensary and grower in Belfast, Maine, was considering expanding when voters to legalize recreational pot last year. He wants to serve recreational customers at his dispensary in addition to medical patients, and to open an Amsterdam-style cannabis café.
But the anti-marijuana rhetoric from the Trump administration has prompted him to take a “wait and see approach.”
“I believe that the attorney general will do what he says he’s going to do,” said Olsen, who doesn’t want to risk the disruption to his business.
But given the widespread popularity of legalization, he’s optimistic that the industry will triumph in the end.
“I think everybody’s tired of the drug war,” he said.

Report: "Current exploration levels are certainly a far cry from the $653.8 million spent in 2011, the last time coal prices were at present levels".
Report: "Current exploration levels are certainly a far cry from the $653.8 million spent in 2011, the last time coal prices were at present levels".
BOOMING coal prices have failed to lure explorers back to Queensland, according to the State Government.
The government's mining journal said record and near record coal prices had been reached over most of past the year, but coal exploration expenditure in Queensland remained "fairly subdued'' at only $99 million for the 12 months to March.
"Current exploration levels are certainly a far cry from the $653.8 million spent in 2011, the last time coal prices were at present levels,'' it said.
The spending was up on the $82.1 million spent for the same period in 2017, "suggesting that many explorers are still struggling to recover from the effects of the poor prices of late 2015 and early 2016.
"While global coal demand fell marginally for the first time in decades in 2015, largely on the back of major structural changes in China, 2016 saw a significant proportion of this demand gradually come back on line.
Coal mining industry has failed to lure explorers back to Queensland.
"Some analysts predict the international thermal coal market to grow by almost 50 million tonnes, or 5 per cent, in 2018, based on new power station construction, particularly in South and East Asia.
"Imports to India in particular are anticipated to rise again after falling in the last two years as domestic supply there struggles to meet expanding demand.''
Investment in the Queensland mining since the beginning of 2016 appears to have stabilised at around $2 billion a quarter.
Total investment in the year to March 2018 was $8.7 billion, up from $7.96 billion expended in the 12 months ended March 2017.
Copper exploration expenditure in Queensland jumped 65 per cent in the year to March at $53.9 million compared with the previous year's $32.7 million, but this is still only a third of levels seen in 2011 and 2012.
Gold exploration expenditure in Queensland was also up strongly for the March year at $61.8 million, an increase of 20 per cent.
This was still well down on the $75.2 million achieved in the 12-month period ended September 2013.

The special election in Georgia to fill HHS Secretary Tom Price’s old congressional seat could end with a historic Democratic upset. The Sixth District seat has been held by a Republican continuously since Newt Gingrich won it in 1978, but changing demographics and what’s known as a “jungle primary” are giving Democrat Jon Ossoff a shot at winning today’s vote.

Question: Nobel Peace Prize awarded to anti-nuclear campaign group

Represent the article to find a fitting news title:

By MARK LEWIS
OSLO, Norway — The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, a group of mostly young activists pushing for a global treaty to ban the cataclysmic bombs.
The award of the $1.1-million prize comes amid heightened tensions over both North Korea’s aggressive development of nuclear weapons and President Donald Trump’s persistent criticism of the deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program.
The prize committee wanted “to send a signal to North Korea and the U.S. that they need to go into negotiations,” Oeivind Stenersen, a historian of the peace prize, told The Associated Press. “The prize is also coded support to the Iran nuclear deal. I think this was wise because recognizing the Iran deal itself could have been seen as giving support to the Iranian state.”
The Geneva-based ICAN has campaigned actively for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons adopted by the United Nations in July, but which needs ratification from 50 countries. Only three countries have ratified it so far. It organized events globally in 2015 to mark the 70th anniversaries of the World War II U.S. atomic bombings of the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Last month in Berlin, ICAN protesters teamed up with other organizations to demonstrate outside the U.S. and North Korean embassies against the possibility of nuclear war between the two countries. Wearing masks of Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, protesters posed next to a dummy nuclear missile and a large banner reading “Time to Go: Ban Nuclear Weapons.”
The group “has been a driving force in prevailing upon the world’s nations to pledge to cooperate … in efforts to stigmatize, prohibit and eliminate nuclear weapons,” Norwegian Nobel Committee chairwoman Berit Reiss-Andersen said in the announcement.
The prize “sends a message to all nuclear-armed states and all states that continue to rely on nuclear weapons for security that it is unacceptable behavior. We will not support it, we will not make excuses for it, we can’t threaten to indiscriminately slaughter hundreds of thousands of civilians in the name of security. That’s not how you build security,” ICAN executive director Beatrice Fihn told reporters in Geneva.
She said that she “worried that it was a prank” after getting a phone call just minutes before the official Peace Prize announcement was made. Fihn said she didn’t believe it until she heard the name of the group proclaimed on television.
ICAN leaders later popped open some bubbly to celebrate the prize, and held up a banner with the name of the organization in their small Geneva headquarters.
“We are trying to send very strong signals to all states with nuclear arms, nuclear-armed states — North Korea, U.S., Russia, China, France, U.K., Israel, all of them, India, Pakistan — it is unacceptable to threaten to kill civilians,” she said.
Reiss-Andersen noted that similar prohibitions have been reached on chemical and biological weapons, land mines and cluster munitions.
“Nuclear weapons are even more destructive, but have not yet been made the object of a similar international legal prohibition,” she said.
Reiss-Andersen said “through its inspiring and innovative support for the U.N. negotiations on a treaty banning nuclear weapons, ICAN has played a major part in bringing about what in our day and age is equivalent to an international peace congress.”
Asked by journalists whether the prize was essentially symbolic, given that no international measures against nuclear weapons have been reached, Reiss-Andersen said “What will not have an impact is being passive.”

STOCKHOLM (AP) — An American scientist who shared this year’s Nobel Prize for medicine bluntly criticized political developments at home in his address at the awards’ gala banquet, saying that U.S. scientists are facing funding cutbacks that will hurt research.
Michael Rosbash, who was honored for his work on circadian rhythms — commonly called the body clock — expressed concern that U.S. government funding such as that received by him and Nobel colleagues Jeffrey Hall and Michael Young is endangered.
“We benefited from an enlightened period in the postwar United States. Our National Institutes of Health have enthusiastically and generously supported basic research … (but) the current climate in the U.S. is a warning that continued support cannot be taken for granted,” Rosbash said in a short speech Sunday night at Stockholm’s ornate city hall.
The 2018 federal budget proposed by President Donald Trump calls for cutting science funding by billions of dollars.
“Also in danger is the pluralistic America into which all three of us of born were born and raised after World War II,” Rosbash said. “Immigrants and foreigners have always been an indispensable part of our country, including its great record in scientific research.”
Literature laureate Kazuo Ishiguro of Britain expressed concern about increasing tensions between social factions.
“We live today in a time of growing tribal enmities of communities fracturing into bitterly opposed groups,” said Ishiguro, who was born in Japan.
He said Nobel prizes can counterbalance such animosity.
“The pride we feel when someone from our nation wins a Nobel prize is different from the one we feel witnessing one of our athletes winning an Olympic medal. We don’t feel the pride of our tribe demonstrating superiority over other tribes. Rather it’s the pride that from knowing that one of us has made a significant contribution to our common human endeavor,” he said.
In the Norwegian capital of Oslo, a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima compared her struggle to survive in 1945 to the objectives of the group awarded this year’s Nobel’s Peace Prize.
Setsuko Thurlow, who was 13 when the U.S. bomb devastated her Japanese city during the final weeks of World War II, spoke as a leading activist with the Nobel-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.
Thurlow said the Hiroshima blast left her buried under the rubble, but she was able to see light and crawl to safety. In the same way, the campaign to which she belongs is a driving force behind an international treaty to ban nuclear weapons, she said after ICAN received the Nobel prize it won in October.
“Our light now is the ban treaty,” Thurlow said. “I repeat those words that I heard called to me in the ruins of Hiroshima: ‘Don’t give up. Keep pushing. See the light? Crawl toward it.'”
The treaty has been signed by 56 countries — none of them nuclear powers — and ratified by only three. To become binding it requires ratification by 50 countries.
ICAN Executive Director Beatrice Fihn, who accepted the prize along with Thurlow, said that while the treaty is far from ratification “now, at long last, we have an unequivocal norm against nuclear weapons.”
“This is the way forward. There is only one way to prevent the use of nuclear weapons — prohibit and eliminate them,” Fihn said.
The prize winners were announced in October. All except the peace prize were awarded in Sweden on Sunday.
The other laureates were American Richard Thaler for his work in behavioral economics; American physicists Kip Thorne, Rainer Weiss and Barry Barish for confirming the existence of gravity waves; and Jacques Dubochet of Switzerland, American Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson of the United Kingdom for advances in electron microscopy.

Question: Devin Nunes GOP memo to be released after Trump declassifies | The Tribune

House Republicans on Friday released a partisan and bitterly disputed memo that they say shows surveillance abuses in the early stages of the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia.
The memo, prepared by Republicans on the House intelligence committee, says there was "a troubling breakdown of legal processes" in the Russia investigation.
President Donald Trump, who advocated for the memo's release over the fierce objections of the Justice Department and the FBI, told reporters the document shows "a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves."
"I think it's terrible," Trump said. "You want to know the truth. I think it's a disgrace. What's going on in this country, I think it's a disgrace."
Never miss a local story. Sign up today for unlimited digital access to our website, apps, the digital newspaper and more. SUBSCRIBE NOW
The memo, which the FBI has said is inaccurate and missing critical context, asserts that current and former FBI and Justice Department leaders signed off on a surveillance warrant to monitor communications of a former Trump campaign associate.
The document also asserts that opposition research, conducted by a British spy and funded in part by the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign, formed a critical basis for the allegations contained in the warrant application.
They say that research should not have been a basis for the warrant because it contains unproven allegations.
The release of the memo is likely to further divide Trump and his FBI and Justice Department leaders, and the president lashed out anew on Friday morning on Twitter. He has supported the memo release in apparent hopes that it could help undermine the probe being led by special counsel Robert Mueller, which he has called a "witch hunt."
"The top Leadership and Investigators of the FBI and the Justice Department have politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of Democrats and against Republicans - something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. Rank & File are great people!" Trump tweeted.
The tweet came as U.S. news coverage was dominated by reports that the FBI and the Justice Department had objected strenuously to the memo's release. Earlier this week, the FBI declared it had "grave concerns" about its accuracy.
Trump's tweet and his approval of the memo release set up a clash with the man he picked to lead the FBI, Christopher Wray, after firing James Comey as agency director. It also seemed at odds with House Speaker Paul Ryan who said a day earlier "this memo is not an indictment of the FBI or the Department of Justice."
Democrats say the memo cherry-picks intelligence in an effort to smear law enforcement investigating whether Trump associates collaborated with Russia to sway the 2016 presidential election.
"This is designed to impugn the credibility of the FBI, to undermine the investigation, to give the president additional fodder to attack the investigation. And it's a tremendous disservice to the American people," Rep. Adam Schiff, the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said on CBS "This Morning."
The document was written by GOP lawmakers as part of an effort to reveal what Republicans say are surveillance abuses by the FBI and the Justice Department early in Russia investigation, before special counsel Robert Mueller was appointed to take it over.
White House officials say Trump intends to clear the way for publication of the memo. One White House official said Congress would probably be informed of Trump's decision Friday, adding that the president was "OK" with its release. A second White House official said Trump was likely to declassify the congressional memo but the precise method for making it public was still being figured out. The officials were not authorized to be quoted about private deliberations and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The House intelligence panel voted along party lines Monday to put the memo out, giving Trump five days to reject the release under committee rules. But Trump also has the power to declassify the document himself and either release it or hand it to Congress to release. One of the White House officials said the memo would be in "Congress' hands" after Trump declassified it and there were unlikely to be any redactions to the document.
Senior FBI officials, including Wray, have also made direct appeals to the White House, warning that it could set a dangerous precedent.
Democrats on the intelligence panel made a last-ditch effort Wednesday evening to stop the release, saying the memo had been "secretly altered" by the Republicans who wrote it. In a letter to the House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, Schiff wrote that committee Democrats had discovered changes that were made after the vote Monday.
"The White House has therefore been reviewing a document since Monday night that the committee never approved for public release," Schiff said in the letter.
Schiff asked Nunes for another vote on the memo, but Republicans didn't appear to waver. Nunes spokesman Jack Langer said the committee vote was "procedurally sound."
"To suggest otherwise is a bizarre distraction from the abuses detailed in the memo, which the public will hopefully soon be able to read for themselves," Langer said.
This all comes as special counsel Mueller is investigating whether the Trump campaign improperly coordinated with Russia and whether Trump sought to obstruct the inquiry by, among other actions, firing Comey. Republicans have intensified their pressure on the Justice Department as Mueller's probe has moved closer to Trump's inner circle.
Trump has been telling confidants in recent days that he believes the document will validate his concerns that the FBI and Justice Department conspired against him, according to one outside adviser familiar with those conversations but not authorized to speak publicly about private discussions.
The president also has told allies that he believes the memo bolsters his claim that accusations of collusion between his campaign and Russian officials are false and part of a conspiracy to discredit his election.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer are pressing House Speaker Paul Ryan to stop the release.
Comey weighed in on Twitter as well: "All should appreciate the FBI speaking up. I wish more of our leaders would. But take heart: American history shows that, in the long run, weasels and liars never hold the field, so long as good people stand up. Not a lot of schools or streets named for Joe McCarthy."

President Donald Trump accused top leadership of politicizing the FBI and the Justice Department but signaled support for the “rank and file” agents.
“The top Leadership and Investigators of the FBI and the Justice Department have politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of Democrats and against Republicans – something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Rank & File are great people!”
Trump made his comment on Friday, as the FBI braced for the release of the classified House Intelligence Committee memo drafted by Republican Chairman Devin Nunes. The four-page memo is expected to reveal improper surveillance practices by agents at the FBI and the Justice Department.
FBI director Christopher Wray has told the Trump administration that he opposes the release of the memo — even after House Republicans on the intelligence committee voted to make it public.
Trump also quoted Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton, who claimed that the Democrats used the Fusion GPS dossier to convince the Obama administration to spy on the Trump campaign.

Giancarlo Stanton homered again, tying the Miami Marlins' season record, and he became the sixth fastest player to reach 250 career homers.
With one swing of the bat in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Colorado Rockies, Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton made history in a couple of ways.
Stanton's third-inning home run off Rockies starter German Márquez was his 42nd of the season, tying Gary Sheffield for the Marlins' single-season record, set in 1996.
Even more impressive, it was career home run number 250. Only Ryan Howard, Ralph Kiner, Harmon Killebrew, Albert Pujols and Juan Gonzalez reached the milestone faster than Stanton, 27.
"It's been fun," Stanton told reporters after the game. "It's been a fun challenge every night for me.
"There's sometimes where if [a pitcher] throws his pitch, it's going to get demolished. Can't explain it. As long as I get extension and lift on the ball, it's going to go."
Thanks to Stanton, the Marlins completed a three-game sweep of Colorado at Marlins Park. He homered in all three games.

In a key matchup with the rival Yankees, Red Sox lefty Chris Sale performed brilliantly, striking out 12 and yielding only four hits and one earned run in seven innings of work.
Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield homered, tripled and drove in five runs in Kansas City's win. He went three-for-six at the plate.
PARKER IN GAME TO FORGET
Giants outfielder Jarrett Parker struck out six times and went 0-for-nine against the Nationals in a doubleheader. He stranded five runners in the opener.
GORDON DENIES DELMONICO
Nicky Delmonico was probably thinking "home run," but Royals centrefielder Alex Gordon was thinking, "this is the final out."

Question: Apple aims to block climate, rights proposals with quick use of SEC guidance

BOSTON (Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) is pushing back on shareholder proposals on climate issue and human rights concerns, an effort activists worry could sharply restrict investor rights.

In letters to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last month, an attorney for the California computer maker argued at least four shareholder proposals relate to “ordinary business” and therefore can be left off the proxy Apple is expected to publish early next year, ahead of its annual meeting.
The attorney, Gene Levoff, cited guidance issued by the SEC on Nov. 1 saying that company boards are generally best positioned to decide if a resolution raises significant policy issues worth putting to a vote.
While companies routinely seek permission to skip shareholder proposals, Apple’s application of the new SEC guidance shows how it could be used to ignore many investor proposals by claiming boards routinely review those areas, said Sanford Lewis, a Massachusetts attorney representing Apple shareholders who had filed two of the resolutions.
Were the SEC to side with Apple, “this would be an incredibly dangerous precedent that would essentially say a great many proposals could be omitted,” Lewis said.
An Apple spokesman declined to comment beyond its letters to the SEC.
An SEC spokeswoman declined to comment. Officials had previously said the new guidelines were only meant to improve the resolution process.
Often seen as distractions in the past, shareholder measures have taken on new significance as big asset managers increasingly back those on areas like climate change or board diversity.
Apple cited the SEC’s new guidance among other things in seeking to omit the shareholder measures from its proxy, according to letters Apple sent to the SEC.
These include calls for Apple to take steps such as establishing a “human rights committee” to address concerns on topics like censorship, and for Apple to report on its ability to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
In its letters Apple offers details of why the resolutions are not necessary.
In the case of the measure on greenhouse gas emissions, filed by Jantz Management of Boston, for instance, Apple argues it already has taken many steps to improve the sustainability of its operations such as switching to greener materials and helping suppliers use more renewable energy.

BOSTON (Reuters) - A group representing large investors voiced concern that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is undoing protections for shareholders to bring proxy resolutions opposed by management.
Ken Bertsch, executive director of the Council of Institutional Investors, said his group disagreed with recent SEC decisions allowing companies including electric utility AES Corp to craft their own rules on the right to call special investor meetings, in place of versions proposed by shareholders.
“AES is playing games with this,” Bertsch said in a telephone interview late on Thursday, adding that existing guidance from the top U.S. securities regulator should have been enough to protect the resolutions.
The council, whose members include big pension funds and asset managers like BlackRock Inc and Vanguard Group, raised its concerns to the SEC directly in a Jan. 31 letter seen by Reuters.
Under Chairman Jay Clayton the SEC has taken steps seen as favoring businesses, such as allowing companies to confidentially file paperwork for initial public offerings. Clayton said at a November conference he hoped to reconcile concerns about the cost of shareholder resolutions with the corporate governance improvements they can bring about.
Spokespeople for AES and the SEC declined to comment, and the SEC did not make Clayton available for an interview.
Shareholder resolutions have taken on a new importance as fund firms seek money from investors concerned about climate change and corporate governance. [nL1N1IX15V]
The SEC has already taken steps that could raise the bar for filers, such as allowing more resolutions to be skipped as “ordinary business.” [nL1N1OX1EX]
The AES resolution and a similar one at CF Industries Holdings Inc were filed by independent investor John Chevedden. Both called for shareholders with at least 10 percent of shares to be able to call special meetings, which can put pressure on management.
The companies requested SEC permission to leave the proposals off their proxies. Each company said it planned instead to offer shareholders a resolution to set the special meeting threshold at 25 percent of shares, a higher standard that could protect executives and directors.
The SEC sided with AES in December, and with CF on Jan. 30, saying Chevedden’s measures conflicted with the management proposals. A CF spokesman did not respond to messages.
In an interview, Chevedden said shareholders could logically vote for both standards to see which had more support. Now, he said, shareholders would “only get to hear management’s side.”

Question: Indian hospital: Hillary Clinton treated for minor injury

Hillary Clinton was treated briefly at a hospital in western India after suffering a minor injury at her hotel, the head of the hospital said Friday

The specialist weight-loss surgeon said he and his team at Mumbai’s Saifee hospital hoped the surgery would help Abd Al Aty shed another 150 kilogrammes.
It would allow her to sit up and feed herself, something not possible in her present state. Following the surgery she will spend five months being closely monitored by the Indian specialists and receiving physiotherapy to exercise her muscles before returning to Egypt. Lakdawala said if the initial treatment was successful then doctors could use surgery to bring Abd Al Aty’s weight down to under 100 kilogrammes in a couple of years’ time. The Egyptian, who hails from the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, was flown to India’s commercial capital in a specially modified Airbus on Saturday for treatment. Abd Al Aty’s sister had approached Lakdawala in October, saying her sibling needed urgent medical attention. Her family told the doctor that as a child she was diagnosed with elephantiasis, a condition that causes the limbs and other body parts to swell, leaving her almost immobile. Abd Al Aty has suffered a stroke and faced a series of other serious ailments owing to her weight including diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension and sleep deprivation. Her request for an Indian visa was initially denied, but she was granted passage after tweeting a plea for help directly to India’s foreign minister, who intervened. Abd Al Aty had a long wait as no airlines were willing to fly her due to her health complications. Bariatric surgery is a stomach-shrinking bypass procedure carried out on those wanting to lose excessive weight. It is increasingly common in India, which has a growing problem with obesity, particularly in urban areas. India is a major destination for medical tourists seeking quality services and no waiting lists at a fraction of the cost of western countries.

Question: Citing religious freedom, Trump backing off Obama-era rules

Represent this text to find a news title for it

WASHINGTON (AP) - In a one-two punch elating religious conservatives, President Donald Trump's administration is allowing more employers to opt out of no-cost birth control for workers and issuing sweeping religious-freedom directions that could override many anti-discrimination protections for LGBT people and others.
At a time when Trump finds himself embattled on many fronts, the two directives - issued almost simultaneously on Friday - demonstrated the president's eagerness to retain the loyalty of social conservatives who make up a key part of his base. Leaders of that constituency were exultant.
"President Trump is demonstrating his commitment to undoing the anti-faith policies of the previous administration and restoring true religious freedom," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council.

Liberal advocacy groups, including those supporting LGBT and reproductive rights, were outraged.
"The Trump administration is saying to employers, 'If you want to discriminate, we have your back,'" said Fatima Goss Graves, president of National Women's Law Center.
Her organization is among several that are planning to challenge the birth-control rollback in court. The American Civil Liberties Union filed such a lawsuit less than three hours after the rules were issued.
"The Trump administration is forcing women to pay for their boss' religious beliefs," said ACLU senior staff attorney Brigitte Amiri. "We're filing this lawsuit because the federal government cannot authorize discrimination against women in the name of religion or otherwise."
The Democratic attorneys general of California and Massachusetts filed similar suits later Friday.
Both directives had been in the works for months, with activists on both sides of a culture war on edge about the timing and the details.
The religious-liberty directive, issued by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, instructs federal agencies to do as much as possible to accommodate those who claim their religious freedoms are being violated. The guidance effectively lifts a burden from religious objectors to prove that their beliefs about marriage or other topics that affect various actions are sincerely held.
"Except in the narrowest circumstances, no one should be forced to choose between living out his or her faith and complying with the law," Sessions wrote.
In what is likely to be one of the more contested aspects of the document, the Justice Department states that religious organizations can hire workers based on religious beliefs and an employee's willingness "to adhere to a code of conduct." Many conservative Christian schools and faith-based agencies require employees to adhere to moral codes that ban sex outside marriage and same-sex relationships, among other behavior.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian law firm, called it "a great day for religious freedom." But JoDee Winterhof of the Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBT-rights group, depicted the two directives as "an all-out assault, on women, LGBT people and others" as the administration fulfilled a "wish list" of the religious right.
The new policy on contraception, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, allows more categories of employers, including publicly traded companies, to opt out of providing no-cost birth control to women by claiming religious or moral objections - another step in rolling back President Barack Obama's health care law that required most companies to cover birth control at no additional cost.
Employers with religious or moral qualms will also be able to cover some birth control methods, and not others. Experts said that could interfere with efforts to promote modern long-acting implantable contraceptives, such as IUDs, which are more expensive.
The top Democrat in the House of Representatives, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, said the birth-control rollback was despicable.
"This administration's contempt for women reaches a new low with this appalling decision to enable employers and health plans to deny women basic coverage for contraception," she said.
On the Republican side, however, House Speaker Paul Ryan welcomed the decision, calling it "a landmark day for religious liberty."
The new policy took effect on Friday, but its impact won't be known immediately and may not be dramatic.
"I can't imagine that many employers are going to be willing to certify that they have a moral objection to standard birth control methods," said Dan Mendelson, president of the consulting firm Avalere Health.
Nonetheless, he worried that the new rules would set a precedent for undermining basic health benefits required under federal law. The administration has estimated that some 200 employers who have already voiced objections to the Obama-era policy would qualify for the expanded opt-out, and that 120,000 women would be affected.
Since contraception became a covered preventive benefit, the share of female employees paying with their own money for birth control pills has plunged to 3 percent, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Many Catholic hospitals now rely on an Obama-era workaround under which the government pays for the cost of birth control coverage. That workaround can continue under the new rules.
Despite that workaround, there have been extensive legal battles waged by religious institutions and other parties challenging the birth-control mandate. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops hailed the new policy as a "return to common sense" that would enhance "peaceful coexistence" between church and state.
Doctors' groups that were instrumental in derailing Republican plans to repeal Obama's health law outright expressed their dismay.
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said the new policy could reverse the recent progress in lowering the nation's rate of unintended pregnancies.
"Instead of fulfilling its mission 'to enhance and protect the health and well-being of all Americans,' HHS leaders under the current administration are focused on turning back the clock on women's health," said the organization's president, Dr. Haywood Brown.

PARIS: A car smashed into a pizza restaurant east of Paris late Monday (Aug 14), killing an eight-year-old girl and badly injuring six other people, the police said, adding that the driver had been arrested.
Investigators believe the act was "deliberate ... but apparently has no connection with a terrorist act," the public prosecutor's office in the town of Meaux said.
France has suffered a string of terror-related attacks, including the use of cars as weapons.
On Aug 9, six soldiers were injured after they were hit by a rented BMW in a western Paris suburb.

CHIANG RAI — For some it’s the US Air Force spokeswoman. Others have latched onto the teenage Chinese-language interpreter, the British cave divers or even the coach still trapped 5 kilometers inside.
Now that the multinational rescue has settled in for what could be weeks or months, the home audience binge-watching every development has started doing what comes naturally: identifying faces in the cast of characters to fixate upon.
As wall-to-wall coverage of the 12 boys and their football coach trapped inside a Chiang Mai cave continues, netizens expressed their adoration by posting photos of random rescue volunteers and officers, sometimes paired with fan-made music videos.
“Not only are your faces handsome, your hearts are handsome too,” reads the caption of an Instagram video titled “Passing Handsome Rescuers Forward” by @Talokmai.
One of the most familiar focal points has been US Air Force Capt. Jessica Tait of the 353rd Special Operations Group. The only member of Team America allowed to speak to the press, she is frequently breaking things down in a military- and PR-fired voice that comes across a bit canned.
“My duty here is to talk with you guys and to get our messages out and to let our guys do their job because right now, they’re still working the problem,” Tait said in an exclusive interview. “I’m the spokeswoman; I’m the public affairs officer so I represent the unit. It’s my job, like your job as a reporter.”
Tait and her team of about 30 operate out of the Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan, includes pararescuemen and specialists in survival, medical, communications and logistics. They were deployed Thursday to the Tham Luang Nang Non to aid in the rescue effort.
“With that team, we’re able to run 24-hour operations and in addition to advising and assisting on that knowledge, we’re also working side-by-side, whether it’s doing land surveys, walking through the mountains to find alternative entry points, whether it’s high-ropes operations like being able to rope into a small crevice,” Tait said.
Tait’s oft-repeated refrain is asserting that her team is working “literally side-by-side” with Thai and other rescue personnel.
“This is a Thai-led, multinational effort,” she said, “I feel honored to be here and to be a part of this. I feel so happy that everyone had a positive outcome. My heart goes out to the families, to the rescue workers, to the children and to the coach, to everyone that’s part of this.”

Also making the rounds on Instagram and other social media is 19-year-old Thai volunteer translator Somjet “Jet” Sae-zhang. On Monday, photos of Jet aiding Chinese rescue teams on the mountainside went viral and he rocketed to internet stardom.
“Now that the boys are found … I want to fangirl about this interpreter, but wasn’t sure if it was appropriate,” wrote the caption to a video of Jet interpreting posted by @Uptomeshare.
Chinese-Thai Jet is currently a student at Wuhan University and came to volunteer with the Phrakru Pitak Porahomhiharn rescue foundation during his summer break. Jet could not be reached for comment.

Ever since they broke through the water to make first contact with the boys in their distinctive English accents, the British divers of the Derbyshire Cave Rescue Organization have been widely praised for being so diligent and singularly focused that they refuse to grant interviews. The men are Rick Stanton, John Volanthen, Robert Harper and Vern Unsworth.
“Thank you to all you guys for coming to help without asking for anything in return. Real people act, rather than talk,” Sukanya Sippel wrote in an online news comment.
Finally, netizens are starting to praise what has been a more polarizing figure: Ekkapol Chantawong, the 25-year-old coach who led the 12 boys into the cave on June 23. Coach Ek, as he’s become known, appeared very thin in footage that emerged Wednesday. According to the SEAL divers, the former monk of eight years gave all their food to the boys and instructed them to lie down and meditate to conserve energy while awaiting rescue.
Netizens using the hashtag #CoachEk even praise the man for his brotherly relationship with the team and encourage him not to blame himself. Some credited his years as a monk, saying they explained how he could survive without sustenance.
“He loves them like his family. No one wants to bring their family to hardship. At this point, he is doing his best. Even though no one is praising him, he shouldn’t be criticized by those who don’t truly know him,” @IDA_Pcta tweeted. “You guys have no right to criticize the coach.”

Question: Dems struggling to flip key California House seats amid candidate overload

represent this text to find a news title for it

Washington Democrats have since the start of the midterm cycle worked tirelessly to flip a handful of California congressional seats seen as key to a House takeover in November.
But the party is still facing challenges going into next week's primaries -- and even the possibility of being shut out in some races -- despite spending big and wrangling behind the scenes.
“National Democratic groups are spending anywhere from $6 million to $7 million to drag damaged candidates to the starting line for a runoff against a formidable Republican,” Jesse Hunt, a National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman, told Fox News on Wednesday about the races. “This is not a position of strength for what they have described as their most focused area of the House battlefield.”
In California’s primary system, the top two finishers advance to the November election regardless of party. But the large field of Democratic candidates in several of these races threatens to split the vote, in turn allowing at least one Republican to advance to the general election.
The Democratic Party establishment has tried for months to winnow its candidate field to avoid that scenario -- particularly in races for four seats representing Orange County where Hillary Clinton in 2016 became the first Democratic presidential nominee since the mid-1930s to win.
Meanwhile, more than $8 million in so-called “outside money” has reportedly been spent on three of the races, much of it by Democratic groups, targeting seats held by GOP Reps. Darrell Issa, Dana Rohrabacher and Ed Royce.
Democrats, led by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, will need to win 23 House seats this year to take control of the chamber, and California is key to that plan.
But early Democratic efforts to reduce their California rosters -- including purported promises of future support to low-tier candidates -- have yielded only limited success.
The race to unseat Rohrabacher still has 13 candidates, including five Democrats, with voters going to the polls in just six days. Rohrabacher has won his race more than a dozen consecutive times, and the glut of Democratic candidates could work to his advantage.
Further, the name of at least one of the dropout candidates, Laura Oatman, will reportedly remain on Tuesday’s ballot. And the rise of Republican candidate Scott Baugh, a former state legislator, could give the GOP a one-two finish next week.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, whose mission is to get party candidates elected and re-elected to the House, in recent days has gotten fully behind businessman Harley Rouda in the Rohrabacher race. The group promoted Rouda to its “top-tier” Red to Blue program. But whether the step is enough to rally voters behind Rouda remains unclear.
Washington Democrats, who have sent teams of staffers to work at an Irvine field office and to help with get-out-the-vote efforts, find themselves in a similar situation with the House seats held by Issa and Royce, who are retiring.
“Moving out West is one of the improvements that we’re making at the DCCC in order to maximize gains in the midterms,” New Mexico Rep. Ben Ray Luján, chairman of the DCCC, said near the start of the midterm cycle.
On Wednesday, the group acknowledged that its excess of qualified and well-funded candidates poses a “serious risk” of Democrats being “shut out” in multiple races. However, the DCCC also said its 18-month investment in California has expanded Democrats’ battlefield to 10 of the 14 GOP-held House seats.
“The DCCC is proud to have invested in and opened up new territory for California Democrats ahead of next week’s primary,” group spokeswoman Meredith Kelly said. “California Democrats have organized, marched and fought like hell to hold California Republicans accountable.”
Democrats were excited this winter when Royce, amid a changing district electorate and an energized Democratic base, decided to leave the House after 13 terms. But their chances of winning his open seat also have been dimmed by too many candidates seeking what they considered a golden opportunity to get elected to Congress.
The race still has 17 candidates including six Democrats. Sources told Fox News that the DCCC tried unsuccessfully to get at least one of the candidates, former Obama administration staffer Sam Jammal, to quit the race.
The top two candidates now appear to be Gil Cisneros and Andy Thorburn.
Cisneros is a $266 million lottery winner and Navy veteran who has also been named to the DCCC’s select group of candidates.
Thorburn is a former insurance executive who appears a favorite among liberals, with endorsements from nurses who want universal health care and Our Revolution, a Bernie Sanders-inspired political committee.
However, the attacks that the campaigns have launched at each other became so damaging that the state party in recent days intervened to broker a truce.
The region’s changing demographics, including immigrants moving in from Los Angeles, contributed to Issa deciding not to seek a 10th term. He survived by 1,600 votes in 2016.
More than a dozen candidates are on the ballot Tuesday to replace him, including Marine-turned-lawyer Doug Applegate, the Democrat who nearly won in 2016.
Meanwhile, some Republicans believe the threat of a Democratic upset is overrated for Rohrabacher and Rep. Mimi Walters, the fourth House Republican they've targeted in Orange County.
Both won by double digits in 2016, even though Clinton carried their districts. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the Walters race as “likely Republican,” and puts none of the three other targeted races in Democrats’ or even tossup columns.

California pits all candidates, regardless of party, against one another in a single primary, with the top two vote-getters moving on to the general election. They fear the crowded Democratic fields will split up the vote and allow Republicans to take both election slots.
Meanwhile, Democrats have been furiously spending to ensure that their candidates get one of the slots in these three races.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has spent more than $3 million in all three California races. And Democratic groups House Majority PAC and Priorities USA Action have also poured in money, which has been spent mostly on attacking Republican candidates.

Question: Santana sorry for saying Beyonce is 'not a singer'

Carlos Santana has angered the Beyhive.
The legendary guitarist seemingly dissed Beyonce in an interview with Australian media following the Grammys Sunday night when he said Beyonce was "very beautiful to look at" but "not a singer, singer."
Santana says he was only trying to congratulate Adele on her big win for Album of the Year when he made the statement.
In the interview, Santana told the Australian Associated Press, "I think that Adele won because she can sing sing...With all respect to our sister Beyonce, Beyonce is very beautiful to look at and it's more like modelling kind of music – music to model a dress – she's not a singer, singer, with all respect to her."
He added: Adele “doesn’t bring all the dancers and props, she can just stand there and she just stood there and sang the song and that’s it, and this is why she wins.”
That statement did not go over well with the Beyhive.
"The fact that Carlos Santana said those comments after he's performed on stage with Beyonce at halftime and witnessed her talent is baffling," said one Twitter user.
"Carlos Santana is TRASH about those @Beyonce comments! Especially since he's one (won) all his Grammys for someone else's vocals!" said another.
Carlos Santana is TRASH about those @Beyonce comments! Especially since he's won all his Grammys for someone else's vocals!🚮 — Dominick Deveraux (@Sir_Deveraux) February 15, 2017
Santana clarified his stance on Facebook Tuesday , writing that his “intent was to congratulate Adele” and that his comment about Beyonce “was regretfully taken out of context.” He adds that he has “the utmost respect” for Beyonce.
"She deserves all the accolades that come her way."

Solange Knowles has vented her anger at Beyonce being overlooked for the Album of the Year gong at this year's Grammys.
In a series of now-deleted tweets, the 30-year-old sister of Beyonce criticised the Record Academy for giving the night's most prestigious award to only two black artists since 1997.
Solange wrote: "There have only been two black winners in the last 20 years for album of the year. There have been over 200 black artist[s] who have performed."
Solange's statement was factually inaccurate as Lauryn Hill, OutKast, the late Ray Charles, and Herbie Hancock have all won the gong over the last 20 years.
However, the singer-songwriter continued with her rant after Beyonce's Lemonade album was overlooked in favour of 25 by Adele.
She said: "Create your own committees, build your own institutions, give your friends awards, award yourself, and be the gold you wanna hold my g's. (sic)"
Solange's criticism of the annual awards bash came after she came out in support of a Tumblr post from Grammy boycotter Frank Ocean, who took aim at the event's producer Ken Ehrlich and writer David Wild.
Solange wrote "Wuddup frank (sic)" next to a post which read: "I'm one of the best alive and if you're up for a discussion about the cultural bias and general nerve damage the show you produce suffers from then I'm all for it."

And Solange's obvious frustration was given further credence by Adele during her acceptance speech for the Album of the Year gong, when she admitted she thought Beyonce deserved the title.
The London-born star said: "I can't possibly accept this award, and I'm very humbled, and I'm very grateful and gracious."
"But my artist of my life is Beyoncé and this album, for me, the Lemonade album, was just so monumental."

Question: Rainout delays Orioles RHP Cobb's reunion with Rays

Brad Miller was down to bat cleanup for the Rays on Tuesday night before the game was called. Miller knew better than to chat with his old friend beforehand.
"Definitely wouldn't talk to him on his start days," Miller said. "Thought about maybe texting him just to rattle him a little bit, but ... ."
Miller won't know what to think when he sees Cobb wearing the orange and black of the Orioles.
"It's definitely going to be weird seeing him on the mound," Miller said. "I miss Cobb a lot. He was the ultimate competitor."
And that, Miller contends, is what sets Cobb apart from most pitchers.
"He's a bulldog. Really intense, kind of an old-school throwback starting pitcher," Miller said. "He's going to go out there and do anything he can for his team. So that, for me, is obviously his biggest trait."
The rainout came at an opportune time for the Orioles, who are hampered by injuries and have lost nine of 10 games to fall 11 games under .500 (6-17).
Baltimore's projected starting lineup did not include infielder Tim Beckham, who's been bothered by a groin injury and is expected to land on the 10-day disabled list.
With Beckham out and Trey Mancini playing with a tender right knee, manager Buck Showalter would have been operating with a short bench.
Help is on the way: Baltimore claimed utility infielder Jace Peterson on waivers from the New York Yankees. He's expected to arrive Wednesday.

TANTRUM
When the Rays' Carlos Gomez returned to the dugout after striking out in the second inning, he took three swings at a cooler, and the resulting thuds could be heard throughout the ballpark. Gomez then punched another cooler, which sent cups flying over the dugout railing.
Despite all that solid contact, Gomez is batting only .195. He was jeered in subsequent at-bats by the crowd of 7,572.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Rays: RHP Chris Archer (left abdominal strain) felt fine after a rehab start and could rejoin the rotation as early as Monday against the Tigers. ... LHP Vidal Nuno (right hamstring strain), who earned the victory Tuesday and contributed two hits before he was hurt, went on the 10-day disabled list. ... RH Wilmer Font (right lat strain) was transferred to the 60-day DL.
Marlins: OF Lewis Brinson (left hip inflammation), batting only .186, was placed on the 10-day disabled list. ... 3B Martin Prado (left hamstring) and 1B-OF Garrett Cooper (bruised right wrist) are expected to be activated for the upcoming series at Washington. ... Miami recalled LHP Dillon Peters from Triple-A New Orleans.
UP NEXT
Rays: Following a day off, the Rays play a three-game series at the Mets, with RHP Ryne Stanek (1-2, 1.98) expected to start.
Marlins: RHP Pablo Lopez (1-0, 3.00), who beat the Mets in his major league debut Saturday, is scheduled to start Thursday when Miami opens a four-game series at the Nationals.

Trump\'s remarks on Monday following criticism that his initial statement about the clash of protesters did not condemn racist groups specifically.\n"Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans," the president from the White House.\nTrump began his remarks talking about his economic accomplishments and plans for trade negotiations before turning his attention to the events over the weekend in Virginia and expressing sympathy for the three people who were killed. Heather Heyer, 32, died after a car rammed into a group of counter protesters. Two Virginia State Troopers, Pilot Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates, died when their helicopter that was patrolling the event crashed.\nTrump said that the Department of Justice had opened a civil rights investigation into the car attack.\n"To anyone who acted criminally at this weekend\'s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered," the president said.\nBut for many, the president\'s condemnations may be too little too late. His initial statement on Saturday, claiming that the clashes were a result of "hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides" was quickly criticized by many top Republicans for not calling out the white supremacists, alt-right, Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi groups who began the protests against the removal of a statute of the Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.\nThe White House put out an unsigned statement on Sunday morning, saying that, "The President said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry and hatred and of course that includes white Supremacists, KKK, neo-nazi and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together."\nVice President Pence went further than the president, telling reporters Sunday night while traveling in Colombia, "We have no tolerance for hate and violence from white supremacists, neo-Nazis or the KKK.

These symbols will type Bengali characters first but if "~" will be followed, it will remove previously typed Bengali character and then type the symbol.
Symbols & ~ * : ^ | ' have special meaning. You can type this way & = &~ ~ = ~~ * = *~ : = :~ ^ = ^~ | = |~ ' = '~
The English symbols [ ] { } ( ) < > - + / = ; . , " ? ! % \ _ $ @ # translate into the same symbols.
Example নমস্কার can be written by typing "namaskaar"
As per Rule # 3, ligature will be rendered. ZWJ and ZWNJ characters are used to produce alternate rendering of ligature.
A consonant followed by ZWJ character will produce half-formed consonant character.
Example
প্রশ্ন = prashn
প্রশ্‍ন = prash^n
A consonant followed by ZWNJ character will produce dead consonant character.
Example
প্রশ্ন = prashn
প্রশ্‌ন = prash^^n
If two english characters are making one Bengali Vowel (i.e. ai, au), then
ZWJ character is used to separate them into two different vowels. It will not
add ZWJ character but only considered as the separator between two
vowels.

Question: Public’s poor knowledge of anatomy ‘hampers healthcare’

Fewer than two in three people know where their heart is, according to new research.
And just four out of 10 can pick out their stomach, suggests the study.
Even less - just a quarter of women and four out of 10 men - were successful at identifying the liver - despite soaring illnesses caused by drinking too much.
Only two in five knew where their spleen and gall bladder is, while fewer than a quarter can locate their pancreas despite its role in diabetes and six in ten their kidneys.
Ignorance about anatomy is endangering the effectiveness of health screening campaigns that target a specific organ, warn scientists.
They were inspired to get to the bottom of the lack of knowledge after a Prostate Cancer UK study recently found more than half of men did not know where their prostate gland was - and 17 percent were even unaware they had one.
The only organ which 100 per cent of people answered correctly was the brain, reports Anatomical Sciences Education.
Where the heart is
Dr Adam Taylor, an expert in clinical anatomy at Lancaster University Medical School, said: “I expected the heart to be up there with the brain, but a lot of people thought it was in the middle of the chest, instead of left of centre, perhaps influenced by Valentine’s Day representations.
“The liver has had a lot of publicity because the damage alcohol can do to it, and likewise the lungs with smoking.
“But if people do not know where these organs even are, health campaigns are unlikely to have much impact on them.”
Fewer than two in three people knew where their bladder is, and less than six in 10 their hamstrings, with women again faring particularly poorly.
Dr Taylor said middle-aged people who had not gone to university scored better than young graduates.
He said: “Whilst many of the public do not have or need formal anatomical knowledge, it is beneficial in monitoring and explaining their own health.”
Gut feelings
Members of the public up to the age of 70 were asked to place 21 human body parts on a blank template.
These included the brain, cornea, lungs, liver, diaphragm, heart, stomach, appendix, bladder, kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, adrenals, thyroid, hamstrings, biceps, triceps, quadriceps, cruciate ligament and Achilles tendon.
They were chosen based on mentions in everyday life such as keeping fit, sports injuries, TV shows and online searches for abdominal pain. The biceps and cornea were the next most correctly answered structures.
Those the public knew least about were the adrenal glands which less than one in seven could identify. Many mistakenly thought were in the neck, instead of at the top of the kidneys.
Overall, men scored higher than women in identifying muscles, but not internal organs. Graduates did not score better than non-graduates.
Older people scored higher than young people, peaking in the 40 to 49 age group which may be because this is when people begin visiting the doctor more often.
People who had visited a healthcare professional prior to the quiz fared no better than those who had not.
Dr Taylor said the quiz revealed the public’s eagerness to learn anatomy despite their limited knowledge of the human body.
He said the pilot study of 63 individuals is now being extended to involve thousands of participants, to find out just how ignorant Britons are when it comes to their own body.

Russia’s indefatigable president stormed to victory for his fourth term on a wave of admiration — or by stamping out all opposition, depending on which way you look at it. But in his Sunday night victory speech, given in a frosty Red Square, Vladimir Putin talked about unity. He told a cheering crowd they were part of a ‘big national team’ who would realise his grand vision for the motherland and that he would not be guided by ‘daily political calculations’. Western observers might take some convincing while diplomatic rows rumble on over the deployment of nerve agent on the streets of the UK and the question of Russian interference in the last US election.
But how dangerous is the Russian leader really? Perhaps less so than we imagine, says Gideon Rachman in his column. For while he is reckless, he is not irrational, and history suggests he can be deterred. It may be, argues Gideon, that Mr Putin is willing to take big risks when he believes that the west is not paying attention — Russia’s annexation of Crimea is a case in point. But when he meets clear resistance, he backs off.
While the president’s fans believe him to be a brilliant strategist who can get away with anything, the truth is that Mr Putin is prone to mistakes and makes calculations that often backfire. The result is that Russia is much poorer and more isolated than it should be, whatever the president’s grandiose rhetoric suggests.
Our digital cesspit:
The allegation that Cambridge Analytica accessed the Facebook profiles of millions of US voters and targeted them with personalised messages to help Donald Trump’s chances of election show us how connected devices can be abused and polluted to manipulate their users, argues John Thornhill. But before we assign all the blame to internet platforms we should take a look at our own complicity in fanning false news and fuelling a market for stories that stoke disgust and fear.
Pulling strings:
The revolving door between EU institutions and the private sector shows the Brussels lobbying industry at its worst, writes EU ombudsman Emily O’Reilly. The problem is more noticeable as Brexit-related consultancy work is booming — the uncertainty around the negotiations provides lucrative opportunities for EU insiders with good networks. Brussels officials are particularly attractive for their detailed and technical knowledge.
Advice to disgruntled centrists:
The mood is dark among the UK Labour party’s moderate MPs, says James Kirkup. Exasperated by opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn’s apparent remaking of Labour in his leftist image, they whisper about the creation of a new centrist party. But they are not ready yet. A new party needs a new image, agenda and policies — especially economic ones — to sell to voters.

What you've been saying
Restrictive ownership hobbles audit industry — letter from Paul Boyle
In 2005 I noted that the restrictive ownership rules that apply to audit firms (in essence they need to be majority-owned by qualified auditors) made it effectively impossible for there to be a well-capitalised new entrant into the market. Had there been similar ownership rules in the airline industry (ie if airlines had to be owned by qualified pilots) then many of the disruptive new entrants would not have been able to get off the ground — literally.
Comment from ArmyMba on Gina Haspel, the undercover spy picked to head the CIA
This is the type of agency that needs a morally and ethically sound individual to lead it, not someone who has risen to the top via the grey zones that it operates in. She was an active participate in some of the dark work the agency did post 9/11 and then led the charge to white wash and cover the situation up. She may know “how that building works better than anybody” and “really knows her stuff” but she has not demonstrated that she has the character to make the morally tough decisions.
I can’t persuade Dropbox to take more of my money — letter from Christian Nielsen
You note that Dropbox’s revenue per subscriber has been flat for three years. That is unsurprising as I have for years been trying to give Dropbox more of my money without luck. It is quite simply not possible to purchase more storage once you hit the absurdly low limit of one terabyte. To start taking free money from existing customers might help the declining valuation.
