Negligence is like a drought that leaves nothing to grow. Vanity harms those who have fruit, those who have advanced, while negligence harms everyone. It hinders those who want to start and stops those who have advanced. It prevents learning to those who ignore and prevents return to those who have gone astray. It does not allow those who have fallen to stand up and is generally a disaster to those who are captured by it.

Sources told News18 that there was a possibility of a favourable environment as talks through backdoor channels between farmers unions and the Government of India were working.
The stalemate between the government and the farmers have continued as several rounds of talks between the government and the farmers have failed to find a solution.
While the government has said that it was ready to talk to the farmers, the farmers unions have maintained that they want the laws repealed.
News18 has learned through sources that farmers leaders have realised that the January 26 incident was "not in good taste" and they have said that they are committed towards the country.
The farmers have reportedly said that they want to retreat in a dignified manner and the government has assured them that they will look into these concerns.
Sources said that the farmers had concerns over issues like MSP and the government has said that it was ready to resolve them.
This comes even as the Delhi police registered 43 FIRs related to the violence during tractor parade.
Meanwhile, amid international traction on the issue on social media, with tweets from singer Rihanna and climate activist Greta Thunberg, the government has said it was an internal issue and the celebrities commenting on them were irresponsible.

PMK, the political arm of the powerful Vanniyar community, is to rake up protests against Andhra Pradesh for constructing check dams across Kosasthalaiyar river without the consent of Tamil Nadu.
In a statement on Wednesday, PMK state president Anbumani Ramadoss said that even though the Kosasthalaiyar originates from Andhra Pradesh, it was filling up many water bodies in Tamil Nadu.
He said that it was flowing through the Kaveripakkam and Poondi reservoirs that provide drinking water to Chennai before it discharged into the sea at Ennore.
Ramadoss said that 60 per cent of Tiruvallur district is prosperous because of the water from Kosasthaliyar and said that if Andhra Pradesh was allowed to build a check dam across the river, then no drop of water would reach Tamil Nadu.
The former Union Health Minister said that the Andhra Pradesh government should have informed Tamil Nadu as it was the lower riparian state.
For building a reservoir across the river, the law requires permission from the lower riparian state, he added.
The PMK leader also said that of the 3,800 sq.km of area through which the river flows, 3,000 sq.km was in Tamil Nadu.
With 75 per cent of the river flowing through Tamil Nadu, the state has all the rights to ensure that check-dams are not built across the Kosasthilayar, Ramadoss added.
He also said that the Andhra Pradesh government has already constructed 22 check dams across the river in the past and this has led to the reduced flow of water through Tamil Nadu.
He said that further permitting the Andhra government to construct check dam across the river would lead to total dryness.

Construction work has started on two major new tourism and hospitality institutes in India.
The country’s Minister of Tourism, Culture & Civil Aviation, Dr Mahesh Sharma, recently laid the foundation stones for the new National Museum Institute and Indian Culinary Institute, both of which will rise in Noida, near Delhi.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Sharma said that both these projects would “help train the youth to find new avenues of employment within the country”. “They will also go a long way in promoting the culture and culinary art of India,” he added.
Both projects have been in the planning for more than a decade, but the new Indian government has accelerated them as part of its focus on the tourism industry. The minister said that with India’s tourism sector expected to witness “exponential growth” in the coming years, the country would also need to create more skilled workers – something the two new institutes will seek to address.
The Indian Culinary Institute is expected to start operating in 2017, offering programmes in several subjects, including kitchen management, molecular gastronomy and food presentation. It will also include museum of traditional foods.
The National Museum Institute meanwhile, will be the first facility in the country dedicated to training young people in the conservation of art and cultural heritage. It is also expected to be completed within two years.


Mr. Speaker, as a federal government, we are finally doing what we need to do to make sure we have a balanced budget. A balanced budget means that we will end up with more surpluses, and with that we will be able to pay down debt and maybe spend some more money to help the provinces. However, my colleague must remember that the provinces are responsible for their own debts. They need to make sure that their spending is under control.
In terms of the health transfer, we have increased health transfers to the provinces by 6% per year. It is a huge amount of money that we have committed, and we will continue to commit that money to the provinces.

Govt. will spend ₹5,000 cr. on road repairs: Minister
Backward Classes Welfare Minister Ch. Venu Gopala Krishna on Wednesday said that the State government was preparing to repair roads across the State at an estimated cost of ₹5,000 crore.
“A majority of the roads laid during the last few years need repairs, which has exposed the poor quality of work done by the previous government,” he said while addressing the media during his visit to a government high school in Ramachandrapuram on Wednesday.
Blaming the previous government (TDP) for the poor condition of the road network, the Minister said that the opposition parties that were campaigning on the issue should introspect the reality.
“We appeal to the opposition parties to support the State government or be calm on the road network system.
However, they are out to defame the State government, despite huge financial allocation for the welfare programmes,” said Mr. Venu Gopala Krishna.
The Minister also inspected the food being served to students under the Jagananna Gorumudda programme at the government high school here.
The Minister had lunch with the students and enquired about the weekly menu.
Mr. Venu Gopala Krishna also inspected distribution of the ‘Vidya Kanuka’ kits and the works done under the Naadu-Nedu programme.

Bangkok, July 14 (IANS) Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said that he plans to reshuffle his Cabinet team after the annual budget debate concludes in September.
Prayut on Monday told the media that some ministerial posts wouldn't take too long to pick, quoting "there are many skilled economists outside the coalition parties but many have already turned down the suggestion as they are reluctant to enter politics", Xinhua news agency reported.
The Thai prime minister also flatly denied any unrest within the ruling Palang Pracharath Party after four of its key members resigned from the party last week, and with the Finance and Energy ministries in the spotlight.
"The key qualification I am looking for in the Cabinet post is someone who can help reboot the Thai economy during and post COVID-19 pandemic," said Prayut. "The focus here is to rehabilitate and help the Thais who had been hit hard by the pandemic to stand up again."
Prayut suggests that since inbound travel is still banned to stem the outbreak, one way to boost domestic economy and tourism, is to "encourage Thais to spend and travel within Thailand. There are lots of new destinations in the country which many Thais have not explored."
Thailand recorded no foreign tourist arrivals or receipts for a second straight month in May as the pandemic forced border closing.
Annual tourist arrivals are forecast to drop to 8 million, just one-fifth of last year's total.
The Bank of Thailand (BoT) forecasted Thailand's GDP to contract a further 8.1 percent this year, exacerbated by the fallout of COVID-19.

Laingville community frustrated with Ipid probe into Leo Williams' death
Community leader, Tyrone Williams, said that they were told that the case would be prioritised but said that there was no progress in the case eight months after the launch of the investigation.
CAPE TOWN - The Laingville community said that it was disappointed by the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid)'s probe into the death of a nine-year-old boy.
It’s been eight months since the launch of an investigation after Leo Williams was hit by a rubber bullet during protests in the St Helena Bay suburb along the West Coast eight months ago.
He was watching TV at home when he was struck.
Community leader, Tyrone Williams, said that they were told that the case would be prioritised but said that there was no progress in the case.
Williams said that while other cases of police brutality around the country were being looked into, the Williams family was forced to wait.
"Nathaniel [Julies] was shot and those police officers were arrested, a boy was shot in Cape Town as well and the police were arrested. The students at Wits University, they shot a guy there and the police were arrested. It's been eight months now and nothing is happening."
He said that the community was angry and frustrated by the lack of answers. At a community meeting on Wednesday night, residents declared that they wanted to take action.
"They wanted to go and block the roads and we as the leaders had to calm them down. That's the way they are feeling regarding the investigation into the murder of Leo Williams."
Ipid has yet to respond to an Eyewitness News request for comment.


Congress President Deuba demands relief package for poor, protective equipment for health workersIn a statement on Friday, the leader of the opposition said that such a package should target citizens who depend on their daily wages.
Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba has called on the government to announce an economic relief package for poor people affected by the nationwide lockdown, and disburse money at the earliest.
In a statement on Friday, the leader of the opposition said that such a package should target citizens who depend on their daily wages.
“This lockdown has affected those who depend on their daily wages the most,” said Deuba, in a statement.
He has also demanded an appropriate relief package for lower ranked civil servants, labourers, unemployed youths and students who have come to Kathmandu for their studies.
The former prime minister has also demanded that the government make provisions so that small-scale entrepreneurs who have loans up to Rs 2 million don’t have to service their debt for some time and face a lower rate in the future.
For bigger businesses, Deuba has appealed to the government to slash interest rates and allow them a three-month extension on deadlines to pay loan installments.
He has also demanded that the government provide a relief package to the media and journalists as they have been facing difficulties due to the crisis.
Deuba has expressed serious concerns over the lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) even one month after the World Health Organization warned member states to exercise caution over the coronavirus outbreak.
“It’s a matter of shame that the government has failed to provide PPE to the health workers,” said Deuba. “I appeal to the government to arrange necessary PPEs, test kits, isolation wards and ventilators at the earliest.”


(MENAFN) A union representative stated that Nigerian electrical workers went on indefinite strike on Wednesday over salary, leaving areas of the continent's most populous country in the dark.
The national strike was organized by the National Union of Electricity Employees to pressure the government to uphold a 2019 deal to pay retired employees of a previous state-owned electricity firm.
“We have shut down all power stations and plants in the country. Our members are right now picketing power stations and installations operated by TCN (Transmission Company of Nigeria),” union leader, Joe Ajaero, informed a news agency.
He said that the walkout would not end until the union's demands were granted, claiming that it has already plunged areas of the nation of some 210 million people into darkness.
Residents have reported power outages since early Wednesday in the Nigerian oil hub of Port Harcourt, the northern city of Kano, and the economic center of Lagos.
Ajaero, though, asserted that the union was prepared to end the conflict and resume regular service.
“We are open to talks,” he stated, highlighting that the power ministry had called for a conference later on Wednesday.
Although Nigeria has access to around 7,000 megawatts of energy, it only distributes less than 4,000 of them, leading to uneven supplies.

The East African nation, Tanzania intends to import more than 300,000 tons of sugar this year to end the current shortage of the commodity, a senior official said on Thursday.
Tanzania’s Minister of Agriculture Hussein Bashe said more than 25,000 tons of sugar have now been off-loaded on the port of Dar es Salaam.
Minister, Bashe told the media that the importation of more than 300,000 tons of sugar will be managed by the National Food Agency, hoping that the availability of sugar would improve from next month (March).
However, the Minister criticized the retail traders for increasing the price of the product, warning that the government has launched a strict investigation against those who hide and increase the price of sugar against the government’s recommended price.
The strong warning was issued on Thursday when the Minister of Regional and Local Government, Mohamed Mchengerwa, cautioned traders against concealing sugar, stating that those involved in the malpractice will face legal action.
Tanzania just like Malawi are some of the countries facing shortages of sugar due to poor logistical distribution of the commodity leading to its unstable prices.

It's almost as predictable as the swallows returning to Capistrano.
Every year after the state budget is finally passed, groups and organizations that feel unfairly treated sue to reverse their losses.
This year is no exception, and the stakes are much higher than normal because of the cuts that have been administered to public education and social services programs for the past several years.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
These groups now feel that they are at the end of their rope and are asking the courts to undo the legislature's decisions.
Various groups have filed suit to recover more than $4 billion in lost state funds.
- Public school administrators who claim the state has illegally diverted $2.1 billion from schools
- Redevelopment agencies who argue that California has illegally withheld $1.7 billion
- The League of California Cities with the claim that the state has diverted $130 million in motor vehicle taxes due to local governments
- Disability groups that contend the state has illegally cut nearly $100 million for the developmentally disabled.
In addition to the more than $4 billion at stake via law suits, California is wrangling with the federal government over its intent to slash more than $1.7 billion from Medi-Cal payments.
The jury is out on whether the feds will allow the state to do so. Combined, these lingering issues add up to about $6 billion, a rather large chunk of the $85 billion state budget.
They also come at a time when California's projected revenues for the fiscal year are already $700 million short of expectations.
It remains to be seen whether any of these suits will prevail, although many have in the past.
One fact is certain, the more that the courts side with these aggrieved groups, the more that the state will be pressed to reconstruct its already questionable budget.

Thai police have sought help from Bangladesh through Interpol to help locate the mastermind behind the fatal bomb blast after investigations indicated that he might have fled to this South Asian country.
Designated police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda said that the information about the possible whereabouts of Abu Dustar Abdulrahman or Izan, a Chinese national, had been confirmed through evidence and testimony from witnesses.
“We have already asked Interpol to inform Bangladesh about the latest development concerning the mastermind behind the bomb blast at the Erawan Shrine,” said Chakthip who will become police chief next month.
He said without elaborating that police were tracing money channelled from foreign countries to see whether it was used in funding the attacks.
Referring to the yellowshirt man who is suspected of being the bomber, he said that police are confident that he would be arrested based on the information and evidence they have in hand.


Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has stated that the whole team is brimming with confidence following their current good run.
He said that the players want to give the best for the team and this is what is resulting in the good performance on the pitch.
Theo Walcott was speaking after the match that saw the Gunners beat Bulgarian team Ludogorets 6-0 in the Champions League. Alexis had opened the score before Walcott added a second goal for Arsenal. It is, however, Mesut Ozil that will steal the show by scoring the first hat trick of his career. The other goal was scored by Oxlade-Chamberlain who was back in the team after a period on the bench.
Theo Walcott said that the players are pleased with the result especially with the way they controlled the game. He said that the objective of the team was to keep a clean sheet first and then win the game. They have managed to achieve both and that the manner the team played displays the confidence that is running through the team.
Theo Walcott said that the players know that they can be good when going forward but they need to find the right balance between defending as well. He said that so far they have managed to do it this season and that they want to make sure that this form continues.
He admitted that it was not an easy game despite the fact that the score line can give the impression that it was a one-sided performance. He said that Ludogorets have some good players and that they are good technically. He stated that Arsenal has had to fight during the match and that it is only in the second half that it became a bit easier.
He said that it is important that the team keep improving as the season is still long.

Moldova is considering the possibility of signing a long-term gas
supply contract with Azerbaijan. He noted that Moldova consumes

Our solidarity project FARMASOL MANDURA, ETHIOPIA, has been interrupted by the State of Alarm and Emergency declared recently by the Prime Minister of the country. Since 2017, the Barceló Foundation has been assisting the health centre in that area with the supply of medicines and the creation of the maternity centre and the payment of the midwife’s salary. However, due to serious security problems for the staff, the clinic has been forced to close, leaving the Comboni missionaries alone to attend to the population, who unfortunately, due to the terrible massacres that are spreading throughout the area, are suffering the consequences.
We hope that all the personnel are now in a safe place and that the situation will soon return to normal in Mandura.
The Foundation will continue to assist the missionaries in their emergency work and we are confident that we will continue to support the clinic project when it reopens.
