Bodies of kidnapped M.P. twins found in U.P. river after 12 days
The sensational kidnapping of six-year-old twin brothers from a crowded school bus just outside the Sadguru Public Higher Secondary School at Chitrakoot in Madhya Pradesh’s Satna district on February 12 came to a tragic end on Saturday night with the recovery of their bodies from the Yamuna in Banda district of Uttar Pradesh. The police have arrested six persons in connection with the murder, including the brother of a regional convener of the Bajrang Dal.The six accused have been arrested on charges of abduction, killing and conspiracy. Five of them are from U.P. and one from M.P., Satna Superintendent of Police Santosh Singh Gaur told media persons.Those arrested are Lucky Tomar, Pintu Ramswaroop Yadav, Ramkesh Yadav, Rohit Dwivedi and Raju Dwivedi, all belonging to U.P., and Padma Shukla from M.P.Mr. Gaur said some vehicles, including motorcycles and an SUV, have been seized. According to photographs being circulated in the social media, of the four motorcycles, two do not have number plates and have colours of a political party painted on them. The seized SUV carries the flag of a political party.According to the police, Padma Shukla’s younger brother Vishnukant alias Chhotu is a regional convener of the Bajrang Dal. However, so far, the police have not found any link between Chhotu and the abductors.Protests in ChitrakootAfter the bodies of the twin brothers were found, violent protests erupted in Chitrakoot town forcing the district administration to clamp Section 144. A large number of locals held a protest against what they called “police’s inaction” and the Sadguru Seva Trust which runs the school where the children studied. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath has condemned the incident. Speaking at the State hangar before leaving for Umariya district, Mr. Nath said: “The police will expose those behind all this… whose flag was there on the vehicle in which they were travelling.” The children, both in kindergarten and sons of oil merchant Brijesh Rawat, were kidnapped at gunpoint by two masked persons. The kidnappers had later demanded ransom from the children’s father, Chitrakoot’s Nayagaon police station in-charge K.P. Tripathi said. The M.P. police had announced a reward of ₹50,000 for information on the twins. (With PTI inputs)

Asian Games 2018 gold medallist Swapna Barman made the nation proud when she braved pain to bag India’s first ever gold medal in heptathlon at the Games.Swapna, who was suffering from toothache and had her jaw strapped with a tape to nullify it, scored 1003 points in high jump, 872 points in javelin throw and finished second-best in shot put and long jump with 707 and 865 points respectively to bag the top prize.Since then, Swapna, 21, has been a household name and deservingly getting loads of attention for her sensational effort at the Jakarta and Palembang Games.Another reason barring the toothache, that makes Swapna’s achievement really special, is the fact that she didn’t have customised shoes during the event for her 12 toes. She went in like a warrior and conquered the Games in her category.Speaking to India Today, she says that she didn’t have time to think about pain and anything else because she wanted to give her best.Also read – Swapna Barman’s Asian Games 2018 gold treads a new path for homecoming”I just wanted to give my best no matter what and that was the only thing I was thinking about. This pain, injury…I didn’t have the time to think about all this. Swapna Barman had no customised shoes made for her 12 toes (AP Photo)Nobody ever told me that I can’t compete. Especially my parents, they never said anything of that sort. My parents asked me to do it and were hoping that I get jobs,” said Swapna after her Asiad glory despite the lack of special gear.Also read – Asian Games 2018: Swapna Barman wins India’s first ever gold in heptathlonadvertisementSwapna, a resident of Jalpaiguri, also stressed on the fact that she got immense support from her parents and for her, their wish, will always be her command.”They never said anything about my feet and I also never told them that it is paining. I never complained that ‘I’m feeling a lot of pain or like you are sending me to sports. So I need this and that’…never asked for anything. I just wanted to do what they wanted because we are four brothers and sisters and I’m the youngest.So, whatever my parents think, I will do it…no matter what that is,” Swapna said.Swapna’s success in Indonesia has brought upon a lot of attention and that is not only benefitting her but also her native village.Also read – Poverty-stricken Barmans look at bright future after Swapna’s Asiad goldFor decades, the narrow stretch leading to the Barman residence on the outskirts of Jalpaiguri town has been a dirt road. The gravel laden narrow lane between the paddy fields that led to the Ghoshpara village was the first track Swapna ever ran on in her life.But now, as the town gets ready to welcome their daughter, a dozen labourers are busy pouring concrete on to the stretch as villagers eagerly anticipate the return of their golden girl after her Asiad victory. The district administration is converting it into a concrete road as VIP’s have constantly made their presence felt at the doorstep of the poor rickshaw puller’s family.On Saturday, Darjeeling BJP MP SS Ahluwalia visited the Barmans and congratulated the family after state minister Gautam Deb had visited them a day before. Deb made the family speak to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over phone, who in turn announced a Rs 10 lakh reward and a government job for Swapna.

NEW DELHI: Delhi government schools will have a ‘Deshbhakti’ (patriotism) curriculum from the next academic year onwards. The announcement was made by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during the launch of the ‘Constitution at 70’ campaign. In a tweet the Chief Minister stated, “We want our education system to ensure that each child becomes a good human being, is equpped to support their family and becomes a true patriot.” “We need inputs from everyone about what kind of course [the Deshbhakti Curriculum] should be”, he added in another tweet. Also Read – After eight years, businessman arrested for kidnap & murder Speaking at the event, the Chief Minister said, “Yesterday (Tuesday) evening, the Education Minister and I had an hour and half long meeting and we have decided that the time has come to take concrete steps towards building a class of patriotic citizens.” Stating the purpose of introducing this curriculum, he said, “Ordinarily we are reminded of our love for the country either when there is an India-Pakistan match or when there are tensions on the border. In our day-to-day lives we forget about our country. The Deshbhakti Curriculum is being introduced so that each and every citizen of this country truly loves their country. When our children grow older and start working, and at any point if they accept a bribe, then they must feel from within that they are betraying Bharat Mata. When they jump a traffic light, they must feel they’ve wronged their country. We hear of so many incidents where foreign nationals come to India, they are faced with loot, assault, rape. When we hear stories of Indians returning from Japan, we only hear praise for the Japanese and their hospitality. That is our ideal, we have to love our country to the extent that we respect it and respect our guests.” Also Read – Two brothers held for snatchingsOn the outcome of the curriculum, the Chief Minister said, “The Deshbhakti Curriculum is aimed at achieving three important goals. First, each and every child must feel pride for the nation. Children must be taught about the glories of the country. Second, each child must be made aware of their responsibility and duty towards the country. India has a hundred problems. We are poor, our farmers commit suicide. But who will solve these problems? It is us who will have to find solutions. Our children have to realise that the problems our country is facing will have to be solved by all of us. We have to create a sense of ownership among all children that they have to take on the challenges we are facing as a country head on and address them. Third, we have to instill among children the passion and commitment to be prepared to sacrifice anything for the nation.” Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister Manish Sisodia was also present at the event, said, “I am confident that teachers and Principals of Delhi government schools will be able to do this. They will be at the forefront of the designing of this curriculum, similar to the way the Happiness and Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum were designed. I have directed the department to form a cell to drive this and take inputs from people across the country. I am optimistic that by the next academic year we will be able to launch this curriculum.”

By age 18, 30 percent of black males, 26 percent of Hispanic males and 22 percent of white males have been arrested.By age 23, 49 percent of black males, 44 percent of Hispanic males and 38 percent of white males have been arrested.At age 18, arrest rates were 12 percent for white females and 11.8 percent and 11.9 percent for Hispanic and black females, respectively. By age 23, arrest rates were 20 percent for white females and 18 percent and 16 percent for Hispanic and black females, respectively.Brame says that it is important to understand the social climate that influences arrests and what role race plays.“As a society, we often worry a great deal about the effects of children watching television, eating junk food, playing sports and having access to good schools,” Brame says.“Experiencing formal contact with the criminal justice system could also have powerful effects on behaviour and impose substantial constraints on opportunities for America’s youth.Going forward it will be constructive to support systematic studies into the sources of these variations and to continue efforts to understand the effects of criminal justice interventions on sanctions on future behaviour.Read: Two-month-old girl shot dead in PennsylvaniaRead: ‘Jihad Jane’ sentenced to 10 years for plot to kill artist A MAJOR NEW study in the US has found that half of black American men have been arrested at least once by their 23rd birthday.The study, printed in Crime & Delinquency, a peer-reviewed American journal, shows that the likelihood of arrest varies across races.Robert Brame, a criminology professor at the University of South Carolina and lead author of the study, says that the most striking differences are across racial divides.In particular, the research points to a higher prevalence of arrest among black males and little race variation in arrest rates among females. The study excludes arrests for minor traffic violations.“A problem is that many males – especially black males – are navigating the transition from youth to adulthood with the baggage and difficulties from contact with the criminal justice system,” Brame says.The study’s key findings include:
Ireland is ranked the 20th safest country for newborn babies and mothers, according to the annual State of the World’s Mothers report.The report, published by the charity Save the Children, showed Ireland was three places ahead of the UK in 23rd.Finland was found to be the safest country while the Democratic Republic of Congo was in last place.The report on 186 countries showed South Asia – which accounts for 24 per cent of the world’s population – recorded 40 per cent of the world’s first-day deaths.IrelandThe report’s birth day risk index showed that Ireland had a first-day mortality rate of one child per 1,000 live births, with a total of 90 deaths recorded. 29 per cent of deaths in children under five occurred on the first-day.Ireland has a first-month mortality rate of two children per 1,000 live births, with a total of 160 deaths recorded. 52 per cent of deaths in children under five occurred within the first-month.The report also found that Ireland had a mortality rate in children under five of four children per 1,000 live births, with a total of 310 deaths recorded.Read the full report here >IndiaMore than 300,000 babies die within 24 hours of being born in India each year from infections and other preventable causes, the report said, blaming a lack of political will and funding for the crisis.India accounts for 29 per cent of all newborn deaths worldwide.MalnourishmentBangladesh and Pakistan also have large numbers of yearly first-day deaths at 28,000 and 60,000 with chronic malnourishment of mothers one of the major factors for the fatalities in the region.“Progress has been made, but more than 1,000 babies die every day on their first day of life from preventable causes throughout India, Pakistan and Bangladesh,” said Mike Novell, the regional director of the charity.Life-saving interventionsThe charity identified three major causes of newborn deaths – complications during birth, prematurity and infections – and said access to low-cost, life-saving interventions could cut down the figures by as much as 75 per cent.“What is lacking is the political will and funding to deliver these solutions to all the mothers and babies who need them,” it said.A decade of rapid economic growth has allowed India to boost spending on poor and rural communities but Save the Children said most such programmes had not benefited those most in need.More than half of all Indian women give birth without the help of skilled health care professionals, leading to infections and complications.In far-flung areas, doctors and hospitals are rare and villagers often put the health of their children in the hands of poorly trained substitutes.But even in cities such as New Delhi with relatively better healthcare facilities women are delivering at home, said Sharmila Lal, a Delhi-based gynaecologist.Home births“Even if hospitals are near at hand, the women are having babies at home in a highly unsafe and unhygienic environment just because of lack of awareness,” Lal added.Lal said India must invest in creating a pool of paramedical staff trained in childbirth to take the load off doctors “who often don’t have time or patience to explain simple life-saving measures to expectant mothers”.The charity said the problem of infant mortality could be addressed by closing the equity gap in a developing country like India where economic benefits have been shared unequally.“If all newborns in India experienced the same survival rates as newborns from the richest Indian families, nearly 360,000 more babies would survive each year,” the report said.- Additional reporting by AFPRead: ‘A child can die within 50 seconds of becoming entangled in a window blind cord’ >
WE WERE IN a bike shop recently, getting a puncture repaired on the buggy. My three-and-a-half year old son, a proud bike owner since Christmas, was eyeing up the kids’ bikes display.On one end there were blue and green and red bikes, with spiders and monsters on them. On the other, shiny pink bikes with glittering streamers and baskets, some even had seats for dolls and teddies.He took it all in, eyes running up and down the row of bikes. Then, he turned to me and said: “It’s not fair Mama, why do only girls get sparkly things?”He loves the sparkles – sure who doesn’t? I reassured him that sparkles are not just for girls, and he moved on to complaining that only the girls’ bikes had baskets and that boys needed to carry things too. All was well in the world until moments later when the man in the shop tried to dissuade him from saying he liked the pink bike and good humouredly teased him for preferring it.There’s a lot of fuss being made about girls and pink, or branding toys “girls’ or boys’”. But it all tends to focus on the girls being left out or pigeon-holed, not the boys.He happily admits to loving pink I’ve two sons who are old enough to tell me what’s on their minds (and a small daughter who isn’t quite there yet but is learning fast). The boys “know” that pink is “for girls”, but my three-year-old happily still admits to loving pink. He requests the pink cup, the pink straw, the pink sticker. In cafés staff apologise for giving him pink anything, and he explains that he loves pink.In the library at make and do time, glitter is produced and if it isn’t he is straight to the librarian to question the omission. Pink glitter is his favourite. He’ll always choose the sparkly anything, it’s so much more interesting.I love that he’s confident enough to do that now. But lately he’s starting to realise that people don’t think that he should like pink and this awareness means he’s starting to hesitate before asking for it. This saddens me – it’s only a colour, why should it be limited to one gender?He still plays with all the “boy stuff” that he’s supposed to like, he wears only boys’ clothes, he decries anything with princesses as “too girlie” but he likes the colour pink. He also likes baking and watching Peppa Pig, Doc McStuffins and My Little Pony, but the only T-shirts he’ll find with them on are in the girls’ section, with frills and glitter, and he won’t go that far.He’s a little boy who happens to like pink, among other things. Isn’t that allowed?Sinead Fox writes at www.bumblesofrice.comRead: Men “hit harder than women by unemployment during recession”Read: Women in G20 countries will have to wait 75 years to earn as much as men

Last year, Mike Pence told the Taoiseach his partner, Matt Barrett, would be welcome in Pence’s home if he decides to attend this year.Pence made the comments during a private conversation between the two, during which Varadkar raised LGBT rights and equality issues.The US vice president describes himself as a “Christian, a conservative and a Republican” and has been criticised for his views and his legislative record on LGBT people.The vice president was criticised last year for breaking with the tradition and not allowing media access to the conversation. Members of the press were left on the lawn of the vice president’s home during the meeting. At the time, the Taoiseach said it was the US administration’s decision to have the meeting in private.Prior to it, Varadkar repeatedly said he would talk with Pence about social issues, including LGBT rights.Breakfast meetingConfirming Barrett’s attendance yesterday, Varadkar said:“He’s going to be at the breakfast tomorrow. He was able to get time off work and make the journey. He’ll be taking up the invitation from Mike and Karen Pence to attend tomorrow. Karen can’t be there because she’s in Abu Dhabi for the Special Olympics.”Barrett will also attend the traditional shamrock ceremony in the White House but it is understood he will not take to the stage during the presentation. The media are permitted to attend the breakfast meeting this year. Speaker’s LunchAfter breakfast, Varadkar will attend the annual Speaker’s Lunch on Capitol Hill, and meet with senior members of Congress.All eyes will be on the Taoiseach after last year’s kerfuffle when he went off script during his speech.During the luncheon he told a story about Trump contacting him in 2014 in relation to a matter concerning Trump’s golf course and hotel at Doonbeg in Co Clare.Varadkar said that he inquired about the planning permission for a proposed wind farm after he received a call from then-businessman Trump.Varadkar was Tourism Minister at the time.In his comments, Varadkar said that he made contact with the council about the plan.“So I endeavoured to do what I could do about it. I rang [Clare] County Council and inquired about the planning permission and subsequently, the planning permission was declined, and the wind farm was never built, thus the landscape being preserved,” Varadkar said.Varadkar added that Trump “has kindly given me credit for that, although I think it would probably have been refused anyway”.Just a jokeVaradkar later had to issue a clarification, stating that he had gone back to check with his staff and records following the controversy caused by his remarks, adding that he had done nothing wrong. Varadkar said the luncheon is the kind of occasion where people make jokes and tell anecdotes. Later this evening, the Taoiseach will join Trump and his wife Melania, for the traditional shamrock ceremony at the White House, in advance of attending the Ambassador’s St Patrick’s Day Reception.In his meetings he will also emphasise the strength of Irish-US relations, and will recall the important role of the US in supporting peace and the Good Friday Agreement, and outline Ireland’s position on Brexit.He will also press the case for resolving the situation facing the undocumented Irish in America.TheJournal.ie’s Political Correspondent Christina Finn will be bringing you all the latest updates from Leo Varadkar’s visit to Washington DC this week, including his meeting with US President Donald Trump on Thursday.Stay up-to-date by following @christinafinn8, @TJ_Politics and TheJournal.ie’s Facebook page. 58 Comments Mar 14th 2019, 6:16 AM 
Sharp fabricant des écrans de l’iTV d’Apple ?Sharp sera peut-être le fournisseur de panneaux TFT-LCD qui équipperont la future télévision made in Apple, qui devrait sortir en 2012. Selon Peter Misek, un analyste de Jeffries, Sharp pourrait être le fournisseur de panneaux TFT-LCD, équipant le premier téléviseur Apple. La iTV sera vraisemblablement lancée en 2012 par la marque à la Pomme.Cette nouvelle provient du Japon. Apple travaille déjà avec Sharp pour la production des écrans des iPhone et iPad de nouvelle génération, équipés de la technologie OLED. Sharp pourrait donc également concevoir un écran plus grand format pour Apple.D’après M. Misek, Sharp s’équipe pour concevoir des écrans TFT-LCD dans son usine de Sakai (Osaka). La fabrication de ces écrans pourrait débuter mi-2012. Le développement de ces écrans est tenu secret même si la concurrence tente de relever toute précision relative à ce nouveau produit. Selon M. Misek, la concurrence aura “dans le meilleur des cas entre 6 mois et 1 an de retard.” Le 28 novembre 2011 à 19:30 • Maxime Lambert
