READ MORE “The biggest crime of the activists was to educate the poor and the marginalised about their constitutional rights,” said P. Sainath, senior journalist, while addressing people who had gathered at Valluvarkottam on Friday to protest the arrest of five prominent human rights activists by the Pune police. Several human rights activists, academicians and writers participated in the protest. Mr. Sainath said that it was a deliberate attempt by the Maharashtra police to divert attention from major developments in the State. “They have been criticised severely for failing to make progress in investigations into the deaths of Govind Pansare and Narendra Dabholkar. Many are not aware that less than two weeks ago there was a major raid and piling of arms by a Hindutva terror group in Nalasopara and that they have been getting bigger and bigger. Also the activists were arrested the same day the RBI report came out stating that demonetisation was a complete fraud. They ...

READ MORE For those who don’t follow  Dragon Ball canon or even the non-canon stuff, Cooler appears as the main villain of the fifth and sixth  Dragon Ball Z movies. The Namek Saga and Frieza Saga embody Dragon Ball Z’s infamous reputation for dragging on for an eternity, and considering the extensive amount of time they were on the air in the early 90s, Toei Animation was able to crank out two films that sort-of-kind-of-maybe related to the events happening in the show at the time. Cooler’s exploits exist outside of  Dragon Ball’s  official canon, and he never really emerged as a popular character in the way that Broly, the villain of the 8th, 10th, and 11th films, did. If you own the game and want to play as Cooler, he’ll be available on Sept. 28. The universally praised game from Arc System Works is available now for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The Nintendo Switch version will be released on Sept. 28. TechnoBuffalo L...

READ MORE By E.J. Mundell HealthDay Reporter THURSDAY, Aug. 30, 2018 (HealthDay News) — A new report on thousands of opioid overdose deaths across 11 states finds the problem is increasingly complex, but more can be done to stop it. The report, from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, looked at nearly 12,000 fatal opioid overdoses occurring between July 2016 and June 2017 in states across the Northeast, the Midwest and the West. “Most states were simultaneously struggling with a complex mix of prescription and illicit opioid deaths,” reported the team led by Christine Mattson, of the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. Her team found that, of the total fatal ODs, nearly six out of 10 (58.7 percent) involved illicit “street” drugs such as heroin or fentanyl . About 17 percent of the deaths involved prescription opioids such as Oxycontin , Vicodin and the like, while 18.5 percent involved a mix of prescription a...

READ MORE Food products that don’t come from livestock or poultry can’t be called meat, according to a Missouri law that took effect Tuesday. Products that don’t quality as meat include soy -based and plant-based “meat,” and “clean” meat that’s produced in a lab, CNN reported. Violators of the new law could be fined up to $1,000 and spend up to a year in jail. A legal challenge against the law was filed in federal court by a number of groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri, the Good Food Institute, the Animal Legal Defense Fund and the company that produces Tofurky, CNN reported. The groups say the law attempts to “stifle the growing grocery category of plant-based meat.” “As more and more consumers are making the conscious choice to remove animals from their plates, Missouri is putting its thumb on the scale to unfairly benefit the meat industry and silence alternative producers,” Stephe...

READ MORE BRASILIA (Reuters) – Brazil federal prosecutors are negotiating with health authority Anvisa and the agriculture ministry to reach a deal that could lift an injunction against the popular weed-killer glyphosate, a prosecutor on the case told Reuters on Friday. Prosecutors have requested a meeting next week to discuss a deal just as a ban on glyphosate products already on the market is expected to go into effect on Monday, Brasilia-based prosecutor Luciana Loureira Oliveira said by telephone. The deal would lift injunctions on new and existing products provided that Anvisa issues a decision in the first quarter of 2019 on the chemical’s safety and the ministry agrees not to appeal the health regulator’s decision, she said. Court documents say billions of dollars of agricultural trade could rest on whether glyphosate is ultimately allowed in Brazil, the world’s largest exporter of soy. Brazilian farmers widely apply the herbicide to the oilseed and other ...

READ MORE (Reuters) – An Apple Inc ( AAPL.O ) self-driving car was rear-ended while merging onto an expressway near the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters this month, the company said in an accident report posted on Friday that confirmed the iPhone maker is still in the race to build autonomous vehicles. Apple executives have never publicly spoken about the company’s self-driving car programme, but filings in a criminal court case last month confirmed that the company had at least 5,000 employees working on the project and that it was working on circuit boards and a “proprietary chip” related to self-driving cars. Apple is entering a crowded field where rivals such as Alphabet Inc’s ( GOOGL.O ) Waymo unit and traditional carmakers such as General Motors Co’s ( GM.N ) Cruise Automation, as well as startups such as Silicon Valley’s Zoox, are pouring billions of dollars into cars that can drive themselves. On Aug. 24, one of Apple’s ...

READ MORE Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print England 6 for 0 and 246 (Curran 78) trail India 273 (Pujara 132*, Moeen 5-63) by 21 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball details When Cheteshwar Pujara was scratching around for form during his early-season stint with Yorkshire, amassing 172 runs at 14.33 in six County Championship outings, it might as well have been a down-payment for today’s moment of fufillment at the Ageas Bowl. In batting for five minutes shy of six hours to make his first Test century in England, and only his second outside of Asia in a 61-Test career, Pujara first laid the foundations, then shored up the super-structure in partnership with an unexpectedly doughty tail, to secure a priceless lead of 27 with a superb unbeaten 132. It was the innings of a true Test-match No.3 – a player with enough faith in his own game to let the match come to him, and block out all competing emotions; elation as he and Virat Kohli eased into a 92-run sta...

READ MORE Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print England will play their first Test match in St Lucia as part of a two-month tour of the Caribbean early next year. The other two venues for the three-match Test series, which is the first part of the trip, are Barbados and Antigua. England’s previous Test series in the Caribbean finished 1-1 after West Indies levelled the series in Barbados following England’s win in Grenada. A five-match one-day series will follow with matches in Barbados, Grenada and St Lucia before the tour wraps up with three T20s which also includes a match at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium. England arrive in Barbados on January 11 and have one four-day tour match pencilled in ahead of the opening Test on January 23. A tour by England remains very important for the West Indies board because of the number of travelling supporters they are likely to bring. This is the first time all three formats have been played on the same to...

READ MORE Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print Barbados Tridents’ home performances make Jamaica Tallawahs’ American nightmare look tame by comparison. The Tridents lost their fourth straight match at Kensington Oval in an eight-wicket trouncing at the hands of Guyana Amazon Warriors courtesy Luke Ronchi ‘s unbeaten 40-ball 67. This helped Warriors to the top of the table, while Tridents are firmly rooted to the bottom and are on the verge of missing the playoffs for the third year in a row. Prime time performance It looked like Tridents were going to escape the Powerplay without much damage, but that changed in the sixth over. Rebuilding after the loss of Martin Guptill, Tridents were 39 for 1 when Roshon Primus snared Dwayne Smith thanks to some good fortune mixed with loose strokeplay. Recalled after their loss to Tallawahs two nights earlier, Dwayne Smith looked in excellent touch before holing out to a flick at deep square leg where Shimron He...
