Washington Post pushes conspiracy theory Trump, Putin poisoned Hillary
Concussion expert suggests analysis of Clinton's blood
Published September 13, 2016 at 1:55pm
Hillary Clinton collapses while being carried into a van in New York City on Sept. 11, 2016
Up until the dramatic moment when Hillary Clinton prematurely left a memorial service marking the 15th anniversary of 9/11 in New York City and collapsed as aides pushed her into a van, the national media had steadfastly refused to address concerns about the Democratic presidential nominee's health as anything but "conspiracy theories."
In the blink of an eye on Sunday, media outlets like NBC News, the New York Times and the Washington Post were forced by the stunning video images of Clinton's "fainting" episode to finally get real about her health woes.
Chris Cillizza, who writes the Washington Post's political blog, "The Fix," was blasting "conspiracy theorists" just a week before Clinton's collapse:
"Beyond the Clinton conspiracy theorists who believe she had something to do with Vince Foster's death and that she was secretly responsible for everything from Y2K to the SpaceX explosion last week, it's hard to plausibly insist, based on the available data, that Clinton is ill," Cillizza wrote.

But Cillizza was singing a different tune on Sunday when he wrote:
"Well, that is no longer operative. Context matters. A coughing episode is almost always just a coughing episode. But when coupled with Clinton's 'overheating' on Sunday morning – with temperatures something short of sweltering – Clinton and her team simply need to say something about what happened (and why the press was in the dark for so long). Taking the Clinton team's word for it on her health – in light of the episode on Sunday morning – is no longer enough. Reasonable people can – and will – have real questions about her health."

Now the Washington Post is back on the "conspiracy" bandwagon, this time touting a Nigerian-born doctor's theory Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are together involved in a plot to poison Clinton, reported the Daily Caller.
Dr. Bennet Omalu, who is an expert on concussions, took to Twitter on Sunday to advise the Clinton campaign to "perform toxicologic analysis of Ms. Clinton's blood. It is possible she is being poisoned."
The newspaper's headline read: "The man who discovered CTE thinks Hillary Clinton may have been poisoned."
Reporter Cindy Boren heralded Omalu's "credentials and tenacity" while also noting his "suggestion was greeted somewhat skeptically in the replies."
"He wasn't giving up on Twitter, adding that his reasoning is that he does not trust Russian President Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee who has expressed admiration for Putin," she wrote.
Boren's reporting of Omalu's theory comes just a week after Cillizza dismissed any questioning of Hillary's health as the work of "conspiracy theorists."
Boren also reminded readers of Putin's alleged involvement in the poisoning death of a former KGB operative in London in 2006.

Volumetric and timescale analysis of phase transformation in single-crystal silicon during nanoindentation
Hu Huang, Jiwang Yan
Clarifying the phase transformation process and mechanism of single-crystal silicon induced by high pressure is essential for preparation of new silicon phases. Although many previous researches have focused in this area, the volume of high-pressure phases and the duration of phase transformation are still unclear. In this paper, the volume change and the duration of phase transformation from Si-II phase into Si-XII/Si-III phases were investigated quantitatively by introducing a holding process in the unloading stage of a nanoindentation test. Experimental results indicate that the high-pressure phase volume is dependent strongly on the maximum indentation load and independent of the loading/unloading rate and the holding time at the maximum indentation load, while phase transformation duration is independent of the aforementioned experimental parameters. By analyzing the results, a critical volume of Si-XII/Si-III phases was identified which determines the occurrence of sudden phase transformation, and a modified nucleation and growth mechanism of high-pressure phases was proposed. These results provide new insights into high-pressure phase transformations in single-crystal silicon.

Q: tika returning incorrect line of text for pdf with lots of tables I am using tika to extract text from a pdf file that has lot of tables.
java -jar tika-app-0.9.jar -t https://s3.amazonaws.com/centraldoc/alg1.pdf

It is returning some invalid text and sometimes it is trimming white space between 2 words; for example it returns
"qu inakli fmyathematical ideas to the real world" instead of  "Link mathematical ideas to the real world".
Is there a way to minimize this kind of error? or is there another library that  I can use? Does it make sense to use OCR to process these kind of pdf.

A: Try to control order when using PDFBox parser: PDFTextStripper has a flag that controls the order of lines in the document. By default (in PDFBox) it's set to false for performance reasons (no order preserved), but Tika changed its behavior between releases switching this flag on and off.
More details exactly on this problem in my blog Extracting text from PDF files with Apache Tika 0.9 (and PDFBox under the hood).

A: To get text from PDF to display in the right order, I had to set the SortByPosition flag to true... (tika-app-1.19.jar)
                    BodyContentHandler handler   = new BodyContentHandler();
                    Metadata           metadata  = new Metadata();

Zorrie
Other Editions of This Title:
Hardcover (2/9/2021)
February 2021 Indie Next List
"Zorrie's life was not an extraordinary one for a woman of her generation. She experienced the trials of the Depression and loss brought by war. Most of her years were spent tending a farm in rural Indiana. Her quiet life, with its disappointments and possibilities, heartbreaks and hopes, is held before the reader unadorned until, in its simplicity, one comes to see a nearly sacred beauty. This is a stunning work, and one that I believe will hold an important place in American literature."
— Janis Herbert, Face in a Book, El Dorado Hills, CA
Finalist for the 2021 National Book Award (Fiction)
"A virtuosic portrait." –New York Times Book Review
"A tender, glowing novel." –Anthony Doerr, Guardian, "Best Books of the Year"
"Pages that are polished like jewels." –Scott Simon, NPR, "Books We Love"
"Lit from within." -Mark Athitakis, Los Angeles Times, "Best Fiction Books of the Year"
"A touching, tightly woven story from an always impressive author." -Kirkus (starred review), "Best Fiction of the Year"
"Radiates the heat of a beating heart." –Vox
"A poignant, unforgettable novel." –Hernan Diaz
From prize-winning, acclaimed author Laird Hunt, a poignant novel about a woman searching for her place in the world and finding it in the daily rhythms of life in rural Indiana.
"It was Indiana, it was the dirt she had bloomed up out of, it was who she was, what she felt, how she thought, what she knew."
As a girl, Zorrie Underwood's modest and hardscrabble home county was the only constant in her young life. After losing both her parents, Zorrie moved in with her aunt, whose own death orphaned Zorrie all over again, casting her off into the perilous realities and sublime landscapes of rural, Depression-era Indiana. Drifting west, Zorrie survived on odd jobs, sleeping in barns and under the stars, before finding a position at a radium processing plant. At the end of each day, the girls at her factory glowed from the radioactive material.
But when Indiana calls Zorrie home, she finally finds the love and community that have eluded her in and around the small town of Hillisburg. And yet, even as she tries to build a new life, Zorrie discovers that her trials have only begun.
Spanning an entire lifetime, a life convulsed and transformed by the events of the 20th century, Laird Hunt's extraordinary novel offers a profound and intimate portrait of the dreams that propel one tenacious woman onward and the losses that she cannot outrun. Set against a harsh, gorgeous, quintessentially American landscape, this is a deeply empathetic and poetic novel that belongs on a shelf with the classics of Willa Cather, Marilynne Robinson, and Elizabeth Strout.
Praise For Zorrie…
"A virtuosic portrait of midcentury America itself--physically stalwart, unerringly generous, hopeful that tragedy can be mitigated through faith in land and neighbor alike . . . This is a refined realism of the sort Flaubert himself championed, storytelling that accrues detail by lean detail . . . Hunt's prose is galvanized by powerful questions. Who were those forebears who tilled the land for decades, seemingly without complaint? How did they fashion happiness, or manage soaring passions, in their conformist communities? He re-examines the pastoral with ardent precision . . . What Hunt ultimately gives us is a pure and shining book, an America where community becomes a 'symphony of souls,' a sustenance greater than romance or material wealth for those wise enough to join in." —New York Times Book Review
"A tender, glowing novel . . . as beautiful as Marilynne Robinson's Gilead or Denis Johnson's Train Dreams." —Anthony Doerr, Guardian, "Best Books of the Year"
"The book feels irradiated itself . . . lit from within." —Mark Athitakis, Los Angeles Times, "5 Best Fiction Books of the Year"
"The National Book Award finalist of a novel packs a whole, absorbing human life into just 161 pages that are polished like jewels." —Scott Simon, NPR, "Books We Love"
"A beautiful rumination on finding meaning in our days." —Tayla Burney, NPR, "Staff Picks"
"A slim yet profound portrait of the life of an Indiana woman named Zorrie, spanning a humble lifetime shaped by the events of the 20th century." —USA Today
"Zorrie is a quiet novel about an ordinary life. And when you're ordinary, you need resilience like Zorrie's to survive in an uncaring world. Laird Hunt's short and affecting novel follows Zorrie Underwood's life from childhood in Depression-era Indiana, when she's orphaned, to early adulthood, when she's left on her own, to an eventual marriage and working life." —O Magazine's Most Anticipated Historical Fiction Novels of 2021
"A deceptively simple book about the curious forces that shape a life . . . Hunt's novel reads like poetry, evoking writers like Paul Harding and Marilynne Robinson, and radiates the heat of a beating heart." —Vox
"Through an ordinary life of hard work and simple pleasures, Zorrie comes to learn the real wonder is life itself. A quiet, beautifully done, and memorable novel." —Library Journal, Starred Review
"Quietly effective. [Hunt's] often lyrical prose traces Zorrie's hopes, griefs, loneliness, and resolve with remarkable economy . . . A touching, tightly woven story from an always impressive author." —Kirkus, Starred Review, Best Fiction of the Year
"A slight but poignant chronicle of a woman alone-and the grief, historic events and transformations that make her whole…ZORRIE is a novel that feels like it lives and breathes, and Hunt's ability to interweave unimaginable beauty with poignant, deep longing makes it an instant American classic." —Bookreporter
"A powerful portrait of longing and community in the American Midwest…Hunt chronicles the events of Zorrie's life with swiftness and precision, [and] a quiet sensitivity rarely seen in American fiction…Zorrie is a poetic reminder of the importance of being a happy presence in other people's memories." —BookPage
"Hunt's storytelling flows smoothly, its rhythms unperturbed by preciousness or superfluous detail. Fans of Kent Haruf's Plainsong trilogy will love this subtle tale of rural life." —Publishers Weekly
"Hunt celebrates the majesty and depth in a life that may superficially seem undistinguished… With compassion and realism, Hunt recounts Zorrie's story straightforwardly, with setting-appropriate dialogue and an eye for sensory details… A beautifully written ode to the rural Midwest." —Booklist
"Hunt packs Zorrie's whole life in this slim book of fewer than 200 pages, but it doesn't feel short, nor does it feel too long. Zorrie's life may seem simple to some, but it's a rich well of experiences worth exploring. Through loss, grief and tragedy, Hunt's lyrical and intimate novel shows that life is not a sum of its negative experiences but a collection of joyful moments." —Shelf Awareness
"Courageous and profound." —The Worcester Telegram
"This is not a just book you are holding in your hands; it is a life. Laird Hunt gives us here the portrait of a woman painted with the finest brush imaginable, while also rendering great historical shifts with bold single strokes. A poignant, unforgettable novel, Zorrie is Hunt at his best." —Hernan Diaz, author of IN THE DISTANCE, a Pulitzer Prize Finalist
"With patience, precision and language so clear and generous, you feel as if you are being handed a precious and fragile truth, Laird Hunt brings us an indelible portrait of a twentieth century American woman. Zorrie travels through her years with a straightforward decency that nevertheless does not shield her from harm, heartbreak, yearning, and a hard-won recognition of joy. It takes Hunt only a hundred and fifty pages to take us from one end of Zorrie's life to the other, and yet I closed the book feeling that I had read an epic." —Marisa Silver, bestselling author of MARY COIN and LITTLE NOTHING
"A sweeping, lyrical and profound portrait of a remarkable woman moving through the perils and wonders of 20th century American life. Zorrie will break your heart with its propulsive beauty, depth and grace." —Mona Awad, author of BUNNY
"Zorrie is a beautiful novel. It is gentle, yet full of surprises, and Zorrie, the protagonist who loves her farm and Elvis, is a wonderful creation." —Roddy Doyle, author of LOVE and A STAR CALLED HENRY
"Laird Hunt's Zorrie is compelling from its first page, the prosody like a "bolt of crinoline and serge and silk." Zorrie is "no giant," but her life is as full and satisfying as the short novel, fecund with grain and clover, sweetgrass and damp earth, love, loss, and radiant Luna dust. I read it, with great pleasure, in one sitting." —Nafissa Thompson-Spires, author of HEADS OF THE COLORED PEOPLE
"Zorrie lives and breathes, as a character and as a book. In its natural movement, its joys embraced and sorrows faced, it is a moving portrait of one woman's life -- and so, by extension, a portrait of all of our lives. Laird Hunt has such a gift for clear and precise language, for conjuring the details that matter; the rhythms of mid-century mid-America are brought into being with subtle power. Eerily lit, at times, by a radium glow, this is a luminous book." —Erica Wagner, author of CHIEF ENGINEER

Conversation Starters from ReadingGroupChoices.com
1. Throughout the novel, fire is an important symbol. The epigraph of Chapter V reads: "Our hands touch, our bodies burst into fire" (113) and Zorrie remembers a line from a poem Noah shared with her: "My heart is the same as an upside-down flame" (157). Consider the important moments when fire plays a significant role in the lives of Zorrie, Noah, and Opal: the burning of the barn, Opal's hospitalization, Harold's death. In your opinion, what does fire symbolize to these characters? How does fire, literally and figuratively bring these characters closer together or further apart?
2. Discuss the symbolic significance of Luna powder. Zorrie and her friends celebrate the magical substance, not knowing its harmful effects; they eat it by the spoonful, and cover their bodies with its glow. When Zorrie's friends develop health complications, she wonders whether the powder affected her pregnancy. Even further, she fears that it may be to blame for all of the suffering in her life; she thinks "Had it reached back in time, taken [my] parents, and replaced them with [my] aunt?" (92). How does the powder weave itself through Zorrie's life? What does it symbolize? What does it mean that something so whimsical and beautiful can be so destructive?
3. In the hospital, Opal's parting words for Zorrie are as follows: "It's a cave all your own, Zorrie Underwood. Whether you glow in it or you don't. It's a cave behind your face. It's yours. It belongs to you" (102). Later, Zorrie is drawn to images of darkness, caverns, and depths. How do Opal's words impact Zorrie? What does Opal help her to understand? What are your impressions of this quote and how it reflects on the novel's meaning?
4. Though we only meet her once, Opal is a foundational character. Consider the scene in which Zorrie visits her. What stood out to you? Was Opal portrayed the way you had expected? Discuss how the impact of Opal's mental illness reverberates through their small community. What does Opal's circumstance reveal about the way that we, as a society, have historically handled the mentally ill? Do you believe that Opal is better off in a hospital or with her family? Why?
5. Discuss the power of companionship. When Noah attempts to be hospitalized, Hank asks Zorrie to reach out. He says, "… the way I see it, our friend down the road is about out of angels, Zorrie. He needs people who care about him more than a handshake on Sunday" (123). As they routinely eat together, Noah begins to open up and, maybe, to heal. In times of struggle, who has shown up to support you? What did their support look like?
6. Over the course of her life, Zorrie experiences tremendous grief; the loss of her parents, her unborn child, her husband, and her dear friends. Explore the different ways in which the novel's characters express their grief. What does healing look like for Zorrie and others? What is the difference between coping and healing? Are there some losses from which one cannot recover?
7. Zorrie struggles to define the importance of religion. When she asks Noah about his thoughts on God, he responds: "He thought that there was plenty out there, and allowed that maybe some of it was even eternal, but he wasn't sure any of it needed a name and so many little houses built on its behalf in the countryside out of wood and stone" (131). For Noah, it is a disservice to the concept of faith to confine its power to religion. Is religious faith the only kind? Where are we most faithful? Where do you find faith in your life?
8. Virgil, as a character, serves as a beacon of education, inspiration, and poetry. He teaches: "Life … was a good deal about discouragement and fear, and the soul, which was the true heart of humankind whether you looked at it Christian or otherwise, needed a good deal of comforting some way or other if it was expected to soldier on" (133). According to Virgil, how do we build resilience in our lives? How do our relationships form the basis of our survival?
9. Throughout her life, Zorrie grounds herself in the familiarity and solidity of the seasons and the soil. In addition, Zorrie's life takes place during an era of American history in which women were not traditionally treated as protagonists. Discuss the effect of the novel's setting. How does Hunt use the setting to both advance and enhance Zorrie's story? What are the qualities of this time period that are unique, and how do they influence Zorrie's life?
10. On the plane home from Amsterdam, Zorrie meets Ellie Storms and begins to share her life story. Hunt writes, "Everything she spoke of seemed informed by beauty. Death had nothing to do with it. Not even for those who were dead. Life was everything" (155). As she reflects on her life, Zorrie is able to see the beauty that is inherent in every moment of pain and joy. Discuss how Zorrie reaches this point of understanding. What qualities and tools does she use to form this perspective? Or is it just the natural effect of time? Where in your life do you see beauty and suffering coincide?
11. Compare and contrast the novel's two main relationships: Noah and Opal and Zorrie and Harold. Both couples endure tremendous loss and suffering. And yet, each is able (in Zorrie's case, arguably, even after the death of Harold) to maintain a loving connection over time and distance. Discuss how these relationships illustrate the balance between love and loss. How do Noah and Zorrie move on, if ever? How do we carry our love for others throughout our lives?
12. Explore the book's trajectory. How does Zorrie change over the course of her life? At the end, how does Zorrie reflect on her life? What does she consider most important? As a reader, what is the impact of following one character from childhood to the end of their life?
13. Since she first saw him, Zorrie and Noah have been inextricably connected. Discuss their complex relationship. What universal forces pull them together and keep them apart? How do they show each other that they care? What was your reaction to Noah refusing Zorrie's final romantic gesture? What does this particular relationship teach us about the nature of love and friendship?
14. Consider the epigraphs that begin each chapter. Individually, the epigraphs are a harbinger of what each chapter holds. Combined, they form an elegant poem. What is the significance of using this structure to tell Zorrie's story? Were there epigraphs that stood out to you, and why?

I was trying to write a custom column having textbox and an image to be useds as lookup column. I tried following code and it work perfectly except the image did not appear in center. Please advise.
Or did i misunderstood the problem... If you just need to move it up or down, you should do that in the ArrangeOverride of the cell by taking into consideration also the size of the image inside the child element and creating that rect accordingly.
Thanks alot for your reply and it is working properly.
I just want to confirm that if I define the size of image and set its autosize mode = filltoavailable size it should shrink automatically or not.
I have also tested stretch Horizontal and stretch Vertical properties but no effect.
Here I gradually reduce the rectangle height and finally set rectangle with no height coz start and and end height is same but no change.

In a dramatic turn of events, BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa announced his resignation after he failed the to secure the magic number –112– required to form the govt.In his emotional address to the House, Yeddyurappa said he had many dreams of developing Karnataka. "If only people would have given us 113 seats instead of 104, we would have made this state a paradise."Attacking Congress and JDS over their 'unholy alliance', the outgoing CM said, "Those who were swearing on the names of each other's fathers and calling each other names before polls, have now come together to form this unholy alliance." According reports, Governor Vajubhai Vala is now expected to ask JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy to form the govt with the help of the Congress.Meanwhile,the swearing-in of 210 MLAs was completed before the Assembly adjourned for a small recess. House reopened at 3.30pm. BJP leader Soma Sekhara Reddy, Congress leaders Anand Singh, Prathap Gouda who were not present in the morning, were sworn in after the House reconvened.The drama intensified after the Congress released audio clips accusing BJP of trying to lure its MLAs before the crucial trust vote in the House. In one of the audio clips released by the Congress Chief Minister Yeddyurappa is purportedly heard offering ministry to Congress leader BC Patil. Minutes later, the party released another clip allegedly featuring BJP MLA Sreeramulu and BC Patil.Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court rejected Congress' petition challenging the appointment of K G Bopaiah as the pro tem speaker ahead of Karnataka floor test. The bench, however, allowed the floor test to be telecast live. "Live broadcast of floor test would be the best way to ensure transparency of proceedings," the judges said. Alleging that Bopaiah had helped Yeddyurappa to survive the floor test in 2010, the Congress has moved the apex court challenging his appointment. "Karnataka has won. BJP's unconstitutional efforts to rule have failed. Their illegal means of manufacturing a majority stands exposed. Congress & JD(S) have fought & upheld democracy. Karnataka will now get a stable Govt that will focus on Development," Congress' Karnataka handle said in a tweet. Rahul Gandhi is also expected to address the media briefly.indian express / SCROLL.IN

Patna:Leaders of Bihar's principal opposition party RJD and the Congress on Friday met governor Satyapal Malik to stake a claim to form the Govt in the state as they upped the ante against BJP for allegedly ignoring constitutional norms in Karnataka."There is one Constitution in India and one rule. What applies in Karnataka should also apply in Bihar," Leader of the opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav said.Yadav led the march to Raj Bhawan of MLAs of RJD, Congress and CPI(M-L) Liberation in the afternoon and said RJD was the single largest party and should be invited to form the govt by the governor as it happened in Karnataka.Yadav said the RJD, Congress and CPI-ML with 111 MLAs would easily pass the floor test if invited to form the Govt by the governor.HT

Palestine finds support in Delhi; Protests against recent Israeli attacks
http://www.thecitizen.in/index.php/en/NewsDetail/index/6/13850/Palestine-Finds-Support-In-Delhi-Protests-Against-Recent-Israeli-Attacks
New Delhi: "We must lend our support to the most severely affected population in the world.Palestinians have been cornered in Gaza and West Bank. They can't get food or medical supplies and are living under the oppression of the Israelis." said Dr. S.Q.R. Illyas, President of the WPI at a joint protest held today against the recent killings of Palestinian people at the Gaza border.Around 50 protesters gathered at 4.00pm and began chanting slogans against the Israel-India trade, Israeli military, and extending their support to the people of Palestine, claiming that Jerusalem is their capital. The protest was initially to be held in front of the Embassy of Israel in Delhi but the protesters were allowed to walk for a mere fifty metres in front of the Indian Christian Cemetery. Organisations like United Against Hate (UAH), Naujawan Bharat Sabha (NBS), Welfare Party of India, and Boycott, Disinvestment, Sanctions movement (BDS) also took part in the protest.The protest also saw the involvement of student unions from all over the country, including that of Jamia Millia Islamia, AMU, JNU, and Delhi University signifying the support of the youth to the cause.Shedding light on the recent relations of Israel and India, Khalid Saifi of United Against Hate organization stated, "There are like minded forces on both sides now and hence you have a thriving relationship." He went on to say, "We are law abiding citizens with a significant voice and our voice will reach its destination.""Mahatma Gandhi said that Palestine belongs to Palestinians just like Britain belongs to the British. What Israel is doing in Palestine needs to be condemned by India and not doing so is giving support to them." said Dr. Illyas highlighting the drastic change that took place between the two countries relations.thecitizen

New Delhi;Over 100 mass organisations will hold marches in all state capitals on May 23 to protest against the "anti-people" policies being pursued by the central Govt .Jan Ekta Jan Adhikar Andolan (JEJAA), an umbrella organisation consisting of trade unions, peasant organisations, agricultural workers, state and central Govt employees, bank and insurance workers, college and university teachers, students, women, Dalits, Adivasis, and environmentalists, would observe 'Protest Day' on May 23."The protest day would be the launch of a series of struggles with the aim of making Govt accountable for the devastating impact of its policies and betraying the people especially workers, peasants, women, and youths by its false promises. The campaign would put forward the slogan...either Govt changes its policies or people would change Govt,"said Hannan Mollah, a member of JEJAA coordination committee.Leaders of JEJAA also accused BJP-RSS of unleashing terror by spreading caste and communal hatred and violence.Riots, encounter killings, murders and rape against women and children have become routine with RSS-BJP leaders in the forefront shamelessly protecting the perpetuators of such crime, organisation leaders said.After successful farmers march in Maharashtra organised by All Indian Kisan Sabha, which is also part of JEJAA, leaders feel that only a conglomeration of various "progressive" outfits can mobilise people to take on BJP govt.PTI

Modi to launch JK hydropower plant as Pak seethes
http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/modi-to-inaugurate-hydro-project-in-kashmir-as-pakistan-protests/article23934769.ece?homepage=true
Srinagar: PM Narendra Modi inaugurates today a hydroelectric power plant in J&K, prompting protest from neighbour Pakistan that says the project on a river flowing into Pakistan will disrupt water supplies.330-megawatt Kishanganga hydropower station, work on which started in 2009, is one of the projects that India has fast-tracked in the volatile State under Modi amid frosty ties between the nuclear-armed countries.Pakistan has opposed some of these projects, saying they violate a World Bank-mediated treaty on the sharing of the Indus river and its tributaries upon which 80% of its irrigated agriculture depends. "Pakistan is seriously concerned about the inauguration [of Kishanganga plant]," its Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday. "Pakistan believes that the inauguration of the project without the resolution of the dispute is tantamount to violation of the Indus Waters Treaty."Kishanganga project was delayed for several years as Pakistan dragged India to the International Court of Arbitration, which ruled in India's favour in 2013.India has said the hydropower projects under way in J&K are "run-of-the-river" schemes that use the river's flow and elevation to generate electricity rather than large reservoirs, and do not contravene the treaty.

Srinagar:Mirwaiz Umar Farooq invoked PM Narendra Modi's monthly radio address on Friday and asked him to allow Kashmiris to carry out a peaceful protest march during his visit on Saturday and listen to "our Mann Ki Baat".Mirwaiz wanted cessation of security operations, which the Centre announced for the holy month of Ramzan, to be made a permanent feature and be followed by demilitarisation before the final resolution of Kashmir issue."Mr Modi, all have been listening to your 'Mann ki baat' for years now. As you come here tomorrow, allow us Kashmiris to peacefully gather at Lal Chowk so that you hear our 'Mann ki baat'! It's just three words — Resolve Kashmir Dispute. @narendramodi," he said in a tweet. The protest march was called by separatist leaders, including Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Yasin Malik, to register their demand for "freedom for which we have been sacrificing our lives for the past 70 years".Authorities have been confining separatists to their homes or lodging them in jails whenever they call such protest rallies.Modi is scheduled to visit Kashmir on Saturday and inaugurate projects in the state.Mirwaiz said that if the Govt is sincere, they should make the 'Ramzan ceasefire' permanent."…Goodwill gestures or CBMs (confidence building measures) cannot be meant for a month alone, but have to be long term and meaningful. If the Govt of India really means business, it must look at real CBMs like demilitarisation and repealing the draconian AFSPA, PSA, and DAA," he said.HT

Ramzan prayers stopped in village near Gurugram as old row flares up
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/gurgaon/ramzan-prayers-stopped-in-village-near-gurgaon-as-old-row-flares-up/articleshow/64228600.cms
Gurugram: 30 kms from Gurugram, on the way to Pataudi, is Bhora Kalan, a village with a population of around 30,000 people.A state highway bisects the village's main market. By the time you have travelled a kilometre into the bylanes on either side, the busy roads are replaced by narrow alleys, lined with old houses flaunting arches, wooden carved doors and murals. The bylanes converge at an old post office, right next to a mazar, which witnessed tense scenes on Friday.Just after 4-5 Muslim men had gathered at the mazar to prepare for the first Friday prayers of Ramzan, around 50 local Hindu youths gathered there and threatened the faithful not to offer prayers at the mazar. The crowd kept swelling, and eventually, the prayer assembly was disrupted."Initially, there were around 50 men. But soon, it swelled to at least 200. It was around 12 noon. Things were beginning to heat up when cops arrived to intervene, around 12.30pm. But we could not offer our prayers, and this was the first jumma namaz of Ramzan," said a vegetable seller of the village, requesting anonymity.The atmosphere of festivity had turned into one of apprehension by then. This, however, was not the first time Muslims of the village had been stopped from offering prayers. Bhora Kalan has a history of such muscle flexing, according to villagers. In 2013, some villagers had asked their Muslim neighbours not to invite any maulvi or imam from outside the village for Friday or Ramzan prayers. As a result, Friday prayers stopped in the village for a year, before restarting in 2014."In the past, they didn't directly ask us not to pray, but told us we can't ask a maulavi from another village over, which means we couldn't offer Friday or Ramzan namaz," said a 30-year-old who works at a cement plant in Gurugram. He added the matter was later resolved and they have been offering prayers without interference for last two years.But last Friday, when the whole of Gurugram offered Friday prayers amid an atmosphere of fear, tension began brewing again in Bhora Kalan.Hindus again warned Muslims not to invite maulvis.TOI
Meerut: Hindu outfits object Muslims offering namaz at a tomb triggers clash
http://indianexpress.com/article/india/meerut-objection-to-muslims-offering-namaz-at-a-tomb-triggers-clash-5180939/
Meerut:Security was tightened at Meerut's Shastri Nagar area after a clash involving two communities on Wednesday night. The incident happened after BJP-led Hindu groups objected to Muslims offering namaz at a tomb. According to BJP, the function, held close to the gole mandir in Sector-3, was a first and they did not want a "new tradition" to begin. A Muslim group, however, denied this and said they had often offered namaz there.Soon after the moon was sighted on Wednesday, marking the beginning of the holy month of Ramzan, many people gathered at the tomb to offer prayers. However, certain Hindu outfits' members arrived and objected to this. The arguments soon spiralled out of control leading to a clash. People from both sides pelted stones at each other.The police were informed of the incident and managed to control the ruckus. Two persons were injured in the clash. "No arrests were made in this connection and leaders of both communities have given in writing that they will not begin a new tradition at the tomb which means that the status quo will remain. We have deployed police force in strength as a precautionary measure," SSP (Meerut) Rajesh Kumar Pandey said.When contacted, BJP Shastri Nagar traders' cell general secretary Jatin Chandana said that it was for the first time that "hundreds" had gathered at the tomb, which is located in an area with few Muslims, to offer namaz. "We are not opposed to prayers by any community. But we will not allow any new thing to begin in our area," he said.Meanwhile, chief of Yuva Sewa Samiti Badar Ali said that members from his community used to visit Shastri Nagar tomb and offered prayers inside the tomb.indian express

"You will get uninterrupted power supply throughout the holy month of Ramzan and all faults will immediately be repaired, provided you pay your electricity bills in time and also refrain from the illegal connections at least during holy days of Ramzan."This is an announcement that vehicles of the Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd (PVVNL) will blare from loudspeakers in Division-3, a Muslim-dominated area in Meerut from Saturday.Along with this, the company has also sought maulvis' help to ensure timely payment of dues and weaning people away from taking illegal connections. In return, the company says it will put on hold its drive against illegal connections. The public utility, the highest earner for the ailing UP Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL), has been suffering losses to the tune of 40 % under the zone."We have convinced the maulvis to appeal to worshippers after Ramzan prayers to refrain from going for illegal connections at least during the the holy days. We have decided to put on hold our ongoing campaign against katia connections during these days. We will also make announcements from our vehicles and also distribute pamphlets to dissuade people from opting for an illegal power line," said Sanjay Sharna, Executive Engineer, Division-3, which covers Gola Kuan, Nicha Sadiqnagar and Jakir Colony.PVVNL expects their request to Muslim clerics to take shape soon. "I had gone for namaz at the mosque in Hapur Road last evening but the cleric did not say anything about electricity bills but yes, I have heard that they have been told to do so after the prayers during Ramzan," said Julfikar Nasim, a resident of Hashimpura on Hapur Road.indianexpress

Meerut: As the month of Ramzan began on Thursday, Meerut Mayor Sunita Verma in a letter to municipal commissioner Manoj Chauhan sought cancellation of cultural events at Nauchandi fair saying that it will affect prayers and other rituals at a nearby mosque situated in Muslim community. Verma said, "I have written a letter to the Meerut municipal commissioner seeking to cancel all the cultural events at the Nauchandi fair because the venue is situated in close proximity to a mosque here. Since Ramzan started from Thursday, and the Muslim community will come here to offer namaz, the programmes at the fair will disturb them in prayers. People from the Muslim community had approached me in this regard, and I have written a letter to the municipal commissioner to maintain peace here."Qazi Zainus Sajidin, Meerut qazi, said, "This is a welcome move.

Closure of abattoir angers Junagadh Muslims
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/rajkot/closure-of-abattoir-angers-junagadh-muslims/articleshow/64227593.cms
Rajkot: The huge Muslim community living in Junagadh is seeing red after the municipal corporation sealed the only abattoir in the city following orders of Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB). Interestingly, this abattoir was already sealed by GPCB way back in 2010 as JMC was found flouting pollution norms. However, after receiving representations from the locals during the Ramzan month, the collector had intervened and gave permission for temporary operations. The abattoir was never sealed then.There are nearly 60,000 Muslims living in Junagadh city and those living in near-by villages purchase raw material from this abattoir. Besides Muslims, other non-vegetarian food consumers and hoteliers are also dependent on this abattoir for their daily supply.The closure order that comes in the holy month of Ramzan has angered the butchers who blocked the city roads on Thursday for few hours to protest the decision..M K Nandani, deputy municipal commissioner, said, "We have requested the GPCB to revoke the closure order and assured them to following all the conditions and norms. GPCB wants us to install ETP which will take three to four month. We have make the provision to allocate the funds for this facility."TOI
JNU academic council ratifies course on 'Islamic terrorism
https://www.newsx.com/national/jawaharlal-nehru-academic-council-ratifies-course-on-islamic-terrorism
JNU has been mired in controversy after the University Council recently announced that they will soon introduce a course on Islamic Terrorism under a Centre for National Security Studies (CNSS). This decision by the University authorities faced severe criticism from the faculty members alleging that such a move will spread communalism in the campus. Speaking to media, Sudhir K Suthar, an office-bearer of JNU Teachers Association reportedly said,"Many JNU Academic Council members opposed the proposal to impart courses on 'Islamic Terrorism'.They felt that it was communal in nature".Suthar further stated that a dozen of members opposed the topic 'Islamic Terrorism' so as to not club any religion with terrorism, and suggested to call the phenomenon 'religious terrorism'. According to sources, a proposal to set up the CNSS was given approval, with 'Islamic terrorism' set to be taught there. While the AC agenda mentions it as one of the "key areas" of study, there is no clarity so far as to whether it would be offered as an independent course. Some AC members, including the JNU Students' Union office-bearers, said it had been passed as a course. But Professor Ajay Dubey, who chaired the committee to work out modalities of setting up CNSS, said no course on the subject had been proposed. He did not answer any further questions. Venting anger over the issue, a senior professor in anonymity said, "This is a brazen attempt to promulgate Islamophobia and should be protested vehemently. The term should be 'religious extremism' rather than Islamic terrorism".The report further suggests that it was also proposed that the center would also be an academic and research institute with autonomy over the agenda of its research and course curricula. It will have only MPhil and Ph.D students during its first 5 years after which the master's programmes may be started.newsx

He said he has directed the new ADM, Uday Singh, to submit the report within a week.According to a senior official, the inquiry will be looking into the circumstances as to how Hindu right wing activists managed to reach the gates of AMU the second time and why no action was taken by the police to stop them.

With the onset of Ramzan, the agitating students of AMU withdrew their 3-day hunger strike and 15-day dharna. But leaders of AMUSU threatened to launch a fresh agitation, if their demand for a judicial inquiry into the violence on the campus over a portrait of Mohammed Ali Jinnah is not fulfilled."This should not be viewed as an end to our agitation but as preparation for a possible second stage of our struggle which would be launched, if needed, at an all-India level in case authorities fail to fulfill their commitment," said AMUSU president Mashkoor Ahmad Usmani. "We would have our delegations meeting home minister and President of India besides others concerned and would press for our demand," he added.The agitation by students ended on Wednesday night after Nafeesa Begum, the mother of missing JNU student Najeeb, persuaded the AMU students to end their indefinite hunger strike.AMU VC Professor Tariq Mansoor too expressed solidarity with the agitating students after visiting them.HT

https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/india/varanasi-tragedy-flyover-was-being-constructed-without-design-approval
Under-construction flyover in Varanasi was being constructed without any approval of the flyover drawing or design by concerned departments, or any enquiry into the standard norms fixed for beams. Moreover, there was no record maintained about how much concrete, cement or sand are being used in the construction of the beams. Besides, the interim report of the initial investigation into the Varanasi tragedy reveals that the heavy beam was being fixed in the column without first tying it to the cross beam and even the officials who inspected the site had not issued any report on these details.The investigation report into the collapse of the under-construction flyover in PM's parliamentary constituency, Varanasi, states that it caved in due to 2 heavy beams and has found UP State Bridge Corporation Managing Director Rajan Mittal and five other officials responsible for it.Rajan Mittal has been shunted out of the department.nationalheraldindia

UN rights chief: Israel's Gaza response 'wholly disproportionate'
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/05/rights-chief-backs-calls-inquiry-gaza-killings-180518091207861.html
UN human rights chief has slammed Israel's deadly reaction to protests along the Gaza border as "wholly disproportionate" and backed calls for an international investigation.Addressing a special session of UN Human Rights Council on Friday, Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein said there was "little evidence" Israel made an effort to minimise casualties during mass border protests by Palestinians on Monday.He said Israeli forces had killed 106 Palestinians, including 15 children, since March 30. More than 12,000 were injured, at least 3,500 by live ammunition.aljazeera
Muslim countries leaders call for international protection force for Palestinians
https://www.firstpost.com/world/muslim-leaders-call-for-international-protection-force-for-palestinians-4474973.html
Istanbul:Muslim leaders called on Friday for an international force to be deployed to protect Palestinians after dozens of protesters were shot dead by Israeli forces on the Gaza border this week.At a special summit in Turkey convened by President Tayyip Erdogan, they also pledged to take "appropriate political (and) economic measures" against countries that followed the US in moving their Israel embassies to contested Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.Erdogan, who is campaigning for re-election next month, used the summit to verbally attack Israel, comparing the actions of its forces to Nazi Germany's treatment of Jews in World War Two, when millions were killed in concentration camps.He also castigated the US, saying its decision to move its embassy had emboldened Israel to put down the protests at the border with Gaza with excessive force. Most countries say the status of Jerusalem - a sacred city to Jews, Muslims and Christians - should be determined in a final peace settlement between Israel and Palestinians and that moving their embassies now would prejudge any such deal.The final declaration of the meeting of the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Cooperation described the killing of 60 Palestinians, protesting the embassy move on Monday, as "savage crimes committed by the Israeli forces with the backing of the US administration".It said the violence should be put on the agenda of the UNSC and General Assembly, and called on UN to investigate the killings.Jordan's King Abdullah said the US decision 5 months ago to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital had "weakened the pillars of peace ... and deepened the despair that leads to violence."Iran's President Hassan Rouhani called on Muslim countries "to totally cut their relations with the Zionist regime (Israel) and also to revise their trade and economic ties with America".UN must send "an international peace force to the people of Palestine, who are losing their young children to Israeli terror every day," Erdogan said, comparing the proposed deployment to peacekeeping forces sent to Bosnia and Kosovo in the 1990s.Reuters

Qatar may save Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner from bankruptcy
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20180518-qatar-may-save-trumps-son-in-law-from-bankruptcy/
Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner has been desperately seeking for someone to bail his family out from a poor real estate investment which threatens to wipe out their fortune. Their rescue, according to New York Times, is coming in the shape of deal with none other than a company linked to Qatar.The company controlled by White House adviser Kushner is said to be close to receiving a bailout by a company with financial ties to Govt of Qatar, according to executives briefed on the deal. The paper's report revealed that Charles Kushner, Jared's father and head of Kushner Companies, is in advanced talks with Brookfield Asset Management over a partnership to take control of the 41-story tower in Midtown Manhattan.The father and son team believed that they had bought a real estate trophy but since purchasing the building 11 years ago for a record-setting $1.8 billion, they have struggled to regenerate enough rent to cover the enormous mortgage on their investment. The building today is said to only generate about half its annual mortgage payment, and 30 % of the 41-story tower is vacant.Desperate to plug the hole which threatened to send them towards possible bankruptcy, the Kushner family went searching the globe for a partner for the building, including meeting as recently as last year with a billionaire from Qatar, Hamad Bin Jassim Al Thani, the country's former PM .middleeastmonitor
Taliban pledge not to target Afghan army, police:Aljazeera
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/05/taliban-pledge-target-afghan-army-police-180518095456444.html
The Taliban says it will not target the Afghan police and military in the country any more due to the high number of casualties suffered by the security forces in the ongoing conflict.The armed group declared in a rare statement on Friday "a general amnesty to all military formations, national army, national police, Arbakis (local police) and all employees of the regime to safeguard their lives and wealth".While stating that the main target of its recently launched spring offensive in the country are Americans and their allies, the armed group said security officials often come under fire because they are "protecting the foreign invaders and the corrupt regime which they have installed"."These security forces, however, are our own countrymen who have joined the ranks of America due to misguidance or other reasons,"statement said."In case you do leave the enemy ranks ... mujahideen of Islamic Emirate shall use every means at their disposal to try and ease your life."
Muslims forced to eat pork, drink alcohol as punishment in China's Islamic 're-education' camps,claim ex inmates
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/china/article-5738531/Thank-Party-China-tries-brainwash-Muslims-camps.html?ito=social-facebook
Former inmates have told of the horror after being detained in China's indoctrination camps for Muslims, where they were physically and mentally tortured.Around 900,000 to one million Muslims are estimated to have been detained in such re-education camps in China's western province of Xinjiang as Beijing tries to clamp down on potential separatist movements. Omir Bekali and Kayrat Samarkand, both former detainees, have told the Washington Post that these former prisoners have been forced to eat pork and drink acohol, forbidden in Islam, as punishment.Hour upon hour, day upon day, Bekali and other detainees in these new indoctrination camps had to disavow their Islamic beliefs, criticise themselves and their loved ones and give thanks to the ruling Communist Party. When Bekali, a Kazakh Muslim, refused to follow orders each day, he was forced to stand at a wall for five hours at a time. A week later, he was sent to solitary confinement, where he was deprived of food for 24 hours. After 20 days in the heavily guarded camp, he wanted to kill himself.dailymail/AP

Protest in Baghdad against Iranian general's visit
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20180518-hundreds-protest-in-baghdad-against-iranian-generals-visit/
Hundreds of Iraqis have protested in central Baghdad against the visit of Iran's Major General Qasem Soleimani to their country. With their chants of "Iran, out, out" they expressed the popular desire for Iran to stop interfering in Iraq's domestic affairs. The demonstrators demanded that Soleimani — who commands the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps — should liberate the occupied city of Jerusalem instead of destabilising the security of Iraq and Syria.Soleimani arrived in Iraq on Saturday, when the country held its first legislative elections in years. He is holding talks with Iraqi politicians in Baghdad to promote the formation of a new Iraqi Govt with Iran's approval. "Soleimani is discussing with rival politicians to pave the way for agreement on the formation of a ruling Shia coalition," said one source who mediates between Shia cleric Moqtada Al-Sadr and other senior politicians.middleeastmonitor
Critic of Iran, Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr's bloc wins Iraq elections
http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/shia-cleric-moqtada-sadrs-bloc-wins-iraq-elections/article23933725.ece?homepage=true
An alliance headed by former Shia militia chief Moqtada al-Sadr has won the parliamentary elections in Iraq, the poll panel said.Final results released by the Electoral Commission gave Sadr's Saeroun bloc 54 seats, while current PM Haider al-Abadi was in third place with 42.Sadr cannot become PM himself as he did not stand as a candidate, BBC reported. However, he was expected to play a major role in forming the new govt. Sadr has reinvented himself as an anti-corruption champion after making his name as a militia chief fighting US forces after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He is also a fierce critic of Iran.Some 5,000 American troops remain in Iraq supporting local forces, which were fighting the IS.Saeroun (Marching Towards Reform) list is an alliance between Sadr's Istiqama party and 6 mostly secular groups, including the Iraqi communist party.It pushed the pro-Iranian Fatah alliance into second place with 47 seats. Fatah combines the political wings of militias in the Shia-led paramilitary Hashd al-Shaabi force and is led by former Transport Minister Hadi al-Amiri.IANS

Kadcyla and New Targeted Breast Cancer Drugs
2/21/2014 | Cancer Research Collaboration | 0 Comments | Category: Breast Cancer, Molecular & Genetics
Kadcyla, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2013, is one of the latest advancements to improve our ability to treat breast cancer. Although Kadcyla was only approved for a specific population of breast cancer patients (HER2 positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic breast cancer)), it fits into a larger story that is fundamentally changing how we treat many types of breast cancer.
Kadcyla is the fourth drug approved by the FDA to specifically target the HER2 protein. As HER2-positive breast cancer tends to be more aggressive than other types of breast cancer (luminal A, luminal B, HER2-positive, basal type (triple-negative)), this is an exciting development that has immediately changed how practices treat metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.
Kadcyla and Targeted Therapy
Image courtesy of Genentech.
Also known as T-DM1, Kadcyla is the first antibody-drug conjugate, or "smart drug," to be approved for a specific genetic type of breast cancer. Considered a "break through" by many leading researchers, Kadcyla systematically targets cancer cells while minimizing damage to the rest of the body.
The treatment works by identifying and binding to HER2-positive cancer cells. T-DM1 then begins a two-stage attack.
Trastuzumab (Herceptin) slows the rate of growth of this specific genetic type of cancer.
DM-1, a chemotherapy drug, then delivers a targeted dose inside of the affected cells.
As the drug is far more precise – and targeted – than previously available agents, it is able to release a normally toxic form of the chemotherapy agent DM-1.
In a clinical trial of more than 1,000 women, Kadcyla, or T-DM1 as it was known during development, increased life expectancy from an average of 25.1 months in patients who took Xeloda and Tykerb to 30.9 months in patients who were given Kadcyla.
Is Kadcyla Right for Me?
Kadcyla is indicated for patients who have late-stage metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer and have not responded to other therapies (Herceptin and a taxane chemotherapy regiment).
Kadcyla will carry a boxed warning, indicating there is the possibility of severe side effects in some patients (liver and/or heart damage and life-threatening birth defects if the patient is pregnant, amongst others). However, T-DM1 demonstrated more manageable side effects when compared to alternative drug therapies for many women.
targeted therapy, Kadcyla

This totally means we can call off the rest of the week and lose ourselves in complete and utter chocolate bliss meaningful declarations of love, gratitude and so on and so forth. Right?
I mean, if these paleo cookie dough truffles don't pique your interest, may I interest you in the other Chocolate Week entries for the month of February? See: dark chocolate chili nut clusters, soft baked chocolate vegan donuts, & decadent raw vegan brownies.
Last month, when we all desperately needed it, I shared my favorite edible paleo cookie dough bites with you. And my, how much y'all have loved it. Perhaps even more than my 5 ingredient cookie dough bites from last year! Say what?!?
I dare say that being paleo gave this year's edible cookie dough recipe an edge over last year's. 😉 They're so soft and deliciously dense.
Anywho, more than anything, Erik and I love celebrating our love for chocolate, er, each other with homemade chocolate vegan treats that we can make together, swap, and feed each other. Alright, we really need to cool down the cringe factor here, guys!! 😉 TMI, much?

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles (V, GF): this rich 'n satisfying vegan cookie dough truffle recipe is perfect for gift-giving! It's the ultimate edible paleo cookie dough dessert – easy to make and healthy! Refined Sugar-free, Dairy-Free.
Make Paleo Cookie Dough Bites. Set aside.
Melt the chocolate: Use the double boiler method or do the following. Add chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 20 seconds, remove and stir. Repeat until chocolate is just softened. Stir in between each heating increment, until smooth.
Dip the cookie dough balls: Roll cookie dough balls in chocolate and drop onto prepared baking sheet. I like to use one spoon and two forks for this step (or you could use a candy dipper). Use the spoon to roll the ball, and the two forks to pick up the truffle and roll off excess chocolate.
Allow to set at room temperature, until firm. Or, place baking sheet into the freezer for 15-20 minutes. Remove from freezer. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
You'll also love my Healthy Gluten Free Cookie Dough Bars and my Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies!
