The MoHFW on June 22designated the 'Delta Plus'variant of the novel coron-

avirus, as a "variant of con-cern". Currently, India has asmany as 70 cases of Deltaplus variant. According to thestudy, "Aminor reduction wasobserved in the neutralizingantibody titer in COVID- 19recovered cases full BBV152vaccinated and post immu-nized infected cases com-pared to COVID-19 naivevaccinated individuals."

Brave Indian women createhistory, enter maiden

Olympic hockey semifinalsBrave Indian women create

AGENCYTOKYO, AUG 2

A brave and determined Indianwomen's hockey team etched itsname in the history books by en-tering the Olympic Games semifi-nals for the first time, stunningthree-time champions and worldno.2 Australia 1-0 in an intenselast-eight tie here on Monday.

A day after the Indian men'steam entered the Olympic semifi-nals following a 49-year gap, theworld no. 9 women's side also pro-duced a phenomenally gritty per-formance to make it way into thelast four.

Coming into the match, theodds were totally against India asin world no.2 Australia, a mightyunbeaten opponent, awaited them.

But the Indians, determined toprove a point, produced a strongand brave performance to eke outthe narrow win over the Hockey-roos.

How much it meant for theteam and Indian hockey in generalcould be gauged from the emo-tions that were on display after thefinal hooter went off.

The players screamed, hugged

each other, and got into a huddlewith their Dutch coach SjoerdMarijne with tears of joy rollingdown their faces.

Drag-flicker Gurjit Kaur roseto the occasion when it mattered

and converted India's lone penaltycorner in the 22nd minute to sur-prise the Australians.

India's best performance in theOlympics came way back in the1980 Moscow Games where theyfinished fourth out of six teams.

In that edition of the Games,women's hockey made its debut inthe Olympics and the sport wasplayed in a round-robin formatwith top two teams qualifying forthe final.

The Rani Rampal-led side willplay Argentina in the semifinal onWednesday. The Indians startedslow off the blocks but grew inconfidence as the match pro-gressed. Australia had the first shotat the goal but India goalkeeperSavita did just enough to deny Am-rosia Malone, whose slap shotfrom inside the circle hit the post.The Indians the eafter adopted anaggressive approach and caughtthe Australian defence off guardquite a few times.

Weedicides and insecticidesdissolving poison in life: Experts

JOGINDER DEVARYABANGANA, AUG 2

Nature can satisfy human needs but not greed. Inthe greed of more crops, farmers have started usingfertilizers and pesticides indiscriminately. This isaffecting the food chain and the amount of drugsand chemicals in them has come to dangerouslevels. One more thing, only 10 to 15 percent of themedicines being used are effective, the remainingpoison is becoming part of the soil, ground water,rivers and streams, which is proving fatal to humanhealth. Crops and vegetables prepared with thehelp of weeds and insecticides are passing throughexasperating for the health of human beings andare inviting many deadly diseases. But the farmers,in the greed of good yields, remain ignorant evenafter knowing about the deadly medicines.Agriculture department should make proper effortsin this direction and farmers need to be madeaware in this regard. According to the officials ofthe Agriculture Department, traces of poison arefound in the crops prepared with the help of weedmedicines. Which are proving fatal to humans, butthe farmer is still not hesitant to use the medicinesto burn the grass regardless of it. Although thefarmers are made aware through various camps

about adopting organic farming by thedepartment and the government, but still thefarmers are not averse to using weeds andinsecticides. There is no way to compensate forthe loss of biodiversity due to pesticides. It shouldbe noted that not all insects, worms or germs areharmful. But due to the medicines being usedwithout thinking, many species of 'environmentfriendly' insects and insects have been destroyedfrom the root. Developed countries have bannedthousands of insecticides that have becometoxic and life-threatening, but continue to pourthem into India to serve their commercialinterests. These days the farmers of Kutleharassembly constituency have sown maize crop inthe fields. Along with the maize crop, grass hasalso grown in the farmers' fields. Farmers arenow resorting to weed medicines to burn thisunnecessary grass. These medicines are beingwidely used in the fields and grasslands. Evenweed medicines are being sold by thedepartment itself. It is also surprising among thefarmers that on one hand the department insistson adopting organic farming, while on the otherhand weeds are also selling medicines.Medicines like Loudis, Faligo, Round Up,Ultrazin are being sold in the market nowadays.

Former minister Bikram Singh Majithia today asked newly appoint-ed Pradesh Congress President NavjotSidhu to tell Punjabis why he was pa-tronizing the sand and liquor mafia in-stead of holding them responsible forthe scores of deaths and open loot ofthe State exchequer.

The SAD leader was here to attenda function which witnessed the join-ing of independent councilor NirmalKaur and former SOI leader SimranDhillon back into the party. He as-sured due respect and recognition tothe Dhillon family and said their re-turn to the SAD fold would strength-en the party further. Youth Akali Dal(YAD) President Parambans SinghRomana Students Organization of In-dia (SOI) Patron Bhim Waraich &SOI President Robin Brar were alsopresent on the occasion. Bikram Ma-jithia said the alacrity with whichNavjot Sidhu had embraced the sand

and liquor mafias was condemnableespecially when he had supposedlytaken up cudgels against them earlier.“The mafia and those who patronizedthem including some are Sidhu’sbiggest supporters now. The mafia haseven taken on the responsibility ofrunning the Pradesh Congress officein Chandigarh and this is why we nowsee Sidhu expressing gratitude to themafia leaders from Congress stages”.When questioned about the Congressgovernment’s announcement that it

was waiving off loans worth Rs 590crore under the farm debt waiverscheme for labourers and landlessfarmers, Mr Majithia said the an-nouncement was turning out to behoax already. He said even before anywaiver could take place the govern-ment had come out with pre-condi-tions which would make a majority ofthe supposed 2.85 lakh beneficiariesineligible for the waiver. “The gov-ernment has now come out with con-ditions that the beneficiary must not

have paid back a single rupee and oth-er such things which are being dis-closed in the fine print of the scheme.It is nothing but a hoax which is beingplayed out four and a half years afterthe Congress party formed the gov-ernment in the State”.

Speaking about Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal earlier,Mr Majtihia described him as a ‘cir-cus ka khiladi’. He said Kejriwal hadthoroughly exposed himself by adopt-ing double standards on each andevery sensitive issue conceding Pun-jab and its people. He said earlier theAAPchief had shed crocodile tears onthe issue of Sutlej Yamuna Link(SYL) canal in Punjab but had goneback and field an affidavit in court de-manding Punjab water be made avail-able to Delhi and Haryana. “SimilarlyKejriwal has also demanded thatcriminal cases be registered againstPunjab farmers who burn stubble be-sides initiating a case in the apex courtto demand the closure of four thermalplants of Punjab”.

Mexico's referendum on tryingex-presidents falls short

Areferendum in Mexi-co on Sunday costthe country about 25

million, but drew only afraction of the voters need-ed to make it binding. Fewpeople liked the poorlywritten question on the bal-lot, and the vote was heldin a third wave of the coro-navirus pandemic.

The nationwide refer-endum asked whether ex-officials should be tried forany illegal acts. The Na-tional Electoral Institute re-ported that while over 90%of those who participatedvoted yes , only about 7%of eligible voters turnedout, well below the 40%threshold needed.

Critics noted that Mexi-co has no formal amnestyfor former leaders, andthere is nothing in currentlaw saying they can't bebrought to justice. As oppo-nents say in a slogan, Thelaw must be applied, notput up for a vote.

Turnout at some Mexi-co City polling places ap-peared light Sunday. JoseFrancisco Espinosa Cortes,60, who drives a taxi andruns a computer repairbusiness, was one of onlyabout 60 people to havevoted by mid-morning at apolling station in the mid-dle-class San Rafael neigh-bourhood.

A lot of people havefallen for the propaganda of'why go out and vote, noth-ing is going to change',"said Espinosa Cortes. But ifwe don't end impunity,we'll never end corruption,"

he said calling the referen-dum a historic chance forMexico to get justice .There should be a line ofpeople out to here," he said,gesturing to the empty side-walk in front of the pollingplace. Photographer Santia-go Ruise or, 43, preferredto take his daughter to aMexico City park to playSunday rather then vote.This is a farce, Ruisenorsaid. This is pure cynicism,an act that is only beingused to increase the presi-dent's popularity." To com-prehend the exercise, onehas to understand PresidentAndres Manuel LopezObrador, who pushed forthe referendum. A populist,he likes large crowds, andthe pandemic has prevented

him from holding the kindof mass rallies of hundredsof thousands of people heused to have regularly inMexico City's main plazawhen he was a candidate.

He needed 40% of reg-istered voters to cast ballotsabout 37 million people forthe referendum to be bind-ing. Still, drawing nearly 7million was no mean feat inthe face of the pandemic.The people want participa-tive democracy, not justrepresentative democracy,Lopez Obrador said lastweek. You have to havefaith in the people, youhave to have confidence inthe people and their freechoice, not be afraid of thepeople. Jose Antonio Cre-spo, a political analyst at

Mexico's Centre for Eco-nomic Research and Train-ing, called the referendumstrictly an exercise in poli-tics and media exposure,noting the outcome of theballot question was neverin doubt. The question isn'twhether the yes option willwin, we know that 90% ormore will vote yes, saidCrespo.

The question is, howmany people will go out tovote? A lot of us don't wantto be used in a manipula-tion. It will be an indicatorof how many people stillsupport Lopez Obrador, ofhow much capacity he hasto mobilize people. Aftertwo unsuccessful runs forthe presidency which hesays he was cheated out of

Lopez Obrador won on thethird try in 2018, promisingrevenge is not my strongsuit and forging a cordialtransition with former pres-ident Enrique Pena Nieto.

Crespo, like manyMexicans, believes LopezObrador struck a non-ag-gression pact with Pena Ni-eto, agreeing not to go afterhim in return for promisesof a clean presidential racein 2018.

But the whole thing,while perhaps necessary,left Lopez Obrador short onhis main promise, to eradi-cate corruption; three yearsinto his term he has fewhigh-profile convictions toshow for it. The corruptionallegations made by theformer head of the coun-

try's state-owned oil com-pany against Pena Nietoand top officials of the pre-vious administration haveproved hard to bring to tri-al. So Lopez Obrador isseeking the blessing of thepublic to change course andgo after ex-presidents, twoof whom Felipe Calderon(2006-2012) and VicenteFox (2000 to 2006) havebeen among his harshestcritics. In all, Mexico hassix living ex-presidents, theoldest of whom is 99. Thestatute of limitations hasexpired on many of theabuses they are accused ofcommitting, most involvingmassive corruption, kick-backs, wasting governmentmoney and criminal eco-nomic mismanagement.

Serious long-term complications in youth-onset type 2 diabetes

People show more leniency towards lovedones when they misbehaveThe findings of a recent

study suggest that whenpeople behave badly or

unethically, their loved onesmight judge them less harshlycompared to a stranger whocommitted the same trans-gressions. However, this le-niency may come at the costof own sense of self-worth.

The findings of the studywere published in the Journalof Personality and Social Psy-chology. "How do we reactwhen our romantic partners,friends or family membersbehave unethically? Past re-search tells us a lot about howwe respond to a stranger's un-ethical behaviour, but very lit-tle about how we respondwhen the perpetrator is some-one we care deeply about,"said lead author RachelForbes, MA, a PhD candidateat the University of Toronto."When someone close to usbehaves unethically, we face aconflict between upholdingour moral values and main-

taining our relationship. Weconducted this research tobetter understand this con-flict," added Rachel. Re-searchers conducted a seriesof four experiments involvingmore than 1,100 participants.In one experiment, partici-pants read about a hypotheti-cal situation in which a ro-mantic partner, a close friendor a stranger committed anunethical or immoral act, suchas stealing money from acharity collection jar. In an-other experiment, participants

were asked to recall a mo-ment when they had wit-nessed a romantic partner,close friend or stranger com-mit an unethical or immoralact. In a third experiment,participants kept a log ofmoral transgressions they wit-nessed each day for 15 days.In each experiment, partici-pants answered a series ofquestions about the personwho committed the act, theseverity of the act and howharshly the transgressorshould be punished.

Study emphasises on how positive parent-childrelationships reduce risk of youth vaping

According to a studyby UPMC Chil-dren's Hospital of

Pittsburgh and the Univer-sity of Pittsburgh Schoolof Medicine physician-sci-entists, children who setgoals for their future andthose with strong parentalsupport are less likely touse e-cigarettes and othertobacco products.

The findings of thestudy were published inthe journal 'Pediatrics'. Theresearch suggested thatstrategies to prevent youthvaping may be differentfrom what works to dis-suade youth from smokingcigarettes. "The use of e-cigarettes by young peopleis at epidemic proportions,with 27 per cent of youthsurveyed saying they'dvaped in the last 30 days,"said lead author NicholasSzoko, MD, a fellow in theDivision of Adolescent

and Young Adult Medicineat UPMC Children's.

"And a lot of the tradi-tional methods we think offor counselling youth onthe dangers of tobacco anddrug use may not apply tovaping. Paediatricians andparents need a better un-derstanding of what moti-vates adolescents to es-chew e-cigarettes," addedSzoko. Szoko and his col-leagues analysed anony-mous questionnaires ad-ministered in partnership

with the Allegheny CountyHealth Department andcompleted by 2,487 highschool students in Pitts-burgh Public Schools. Thesurveys asked questions toascertain if and how oftenthe students used e-ciga-rettes or other tobaccoproducts, and to determineif any of four "protectivefactors" validated by pre-vious research were asso-ciated with a lower likeli-hood of vaping or smok-ing.

According to a newstudy, people withtype 2 diabetes di-

agnosed during youthhave a high risk of de-veloping complicationsat early ages and have agreater chance of multi-ple complications within15 years after diagnosis.

The findings of thestudy were published inthe New England Journalof Medicine.

The results of thestudy are the culminationof a first-of-its-kind trialfunded largely by theNational Institute of Dia-betes and Digestive andKidney Diseases (NID-DK), part of the NationalInstitutes of Health.Within 15 years of a type

2 diabetes diagnosis, 60per cent of participantshad at least one diabetes-related complication, andnearly a third of partici-pants had two or morecomplications, accordingto results of the Treat-ment Options for Type 2Diabetes in Adolescentsand Youth (TODAY) fol-low-up study, called TO-DAY2. "The originalTODAY study showedthat youth-onset type 2diabetes is distinct fromadult-onset diabetes - itis both more aggressiveand more difficult tocontrol," said Dr BarbaraLinder, NIDDK projectscientist for TODAY."By following thisunique disease course,

TODAY2 shows the dev-astating complicationsthat can develop in whatshould be the prime ofthese young people'slives," added Dr Linder.

TODAY2 involved500 original participantsfrom the TODAY study,which began in 2004.TODAY was the firstmajor comparative effec-tiveness trial for thetreatment of type 2 dia-betes in youth. The studycompared three treat-ments for managingblood glucose: met-formin alone, metforminplus rosiglitazone, andmetformin plus intensivelifestyle intervention.Metformin is the onlyoral medication ap-

proved by the US Foodand Drug Administrationto treat type 2 diabetes inyouth.

At the time of enroll-ment, participants werebetween the ages of 10-17, had been diagnosedwith type 2 diabetes forfewer than two years,and were overweight orhad obesity.

The average age ofparticipants after the TO-DAY2 follow-up was 26years. Participants inTODAY2 were moni-tored annually for signsof diabetes complica-tions, including heartdisease, kidney disease,diabetic foot complica-tions, and to report otherhealth events.

The latest Periodic Labour Force Survey datafor July 2019 to June 2020 released by theCentral government shows a rise in the labour

force participation rate and a fall in the unemploy-ment rate even when the economy registered a sharpdeceleration in the rate of growth. This is surprisingbecause what the result suggests is that there aremore workers coming into the labour force lookingfor work and that many more are actually obtainingemployment. This looks awkward in a year whengrowth was abysmally low. The claim is made moreproblematic by the fact that other surveys, includingthe one carried out by the Centre for Monitoring In-dian Economy, have yielded exactly the opposite re-sults. The reason may be because of a difference inthe methodology used in the surveys to measure un-employment. The international norm and the onefollowed by the CMIE focus on the current weeklystatus where workers are asked about their employ-ment position during the past seven days. The othermethod, adopted by the government, looks at theusual status, which checks for the employmentrecord 365 days prior to the survey.

The responses of workers could differ legiti-mately. For instance, a worker employed during thepast year but recently unemployed might be record-ed as employed in the US method but unemployedin the CWS method. India, typically, has a very lowLFPR, indicating not many people come into thelabour force looking for work. A high unemploy-ment rate reinforces the fact that even out of the rel-atively few who join the labour force a large numberare unable to get jobs. This trend is consistent withthe macroeconomics of the country. The deviation inthe results of the US method can be explained by thefact that the pandemic led many small traders andbusinessmen to lose their incomes and they wereforced to enter the labour force under distressed cir-cumstances. The participation rate would then in-crease. Now, even with an unchanged absolute num-ber of people unemployed, the rate of unemploy-ment would decrease because the denominator of theratio has increased. The differences are significant.The UER by the US method declined from 5.8 percent to 4.8 per cent between 2018-19 and 2019-20.The UER arrived at by the CWS method remainedconstant at 8.8 per cent for the two consecutiveyears. Most experts believe that the CWS is a moreaccurate method of measuring UER simply becauseit helps focus on the present situation rather than thepast. Trying to make the results look artificially at-tractive by the government may only be an attemptat self-deception.

Young India bowlersready to take overfrom Bumrah andShami, says LeeDUBAI: Former Australia pacerBrett Lee has praised the Indianbench strength and believes thatthe young bowlers are ready totake over from the likes of JaspritBumrah and Mohammed Shami.India and England will lock hornsin a five-match Test series begin-ning August 4 at Trent Bridge, Not-tingham. The series will mark thestart of the second cycle of theWorld Test Championship."The bench strength is crucial for ateam to do well and India's per-formance in Australia bears testi-mony to that. Teams are not of just11 players anymore. There aresome 16-17 of them and it is abouthaving others who are goodenough to stand up at the worldlevel at any given time. Also, withtravelling in bubbles, there will beplayers who get extended restsand others who get fatigued, butthat is how the times are," Leewrote in his column for ICC."A word here about the Indianbowling attack during the WorldTest Championship, which I feelhas been fantastic. They have ex-perienced bowlers and some goodyoung guys coming through. Theyhave enough pace, are excitedand enthusiastic, ready to takeover from the likes of Bumrah andShami. This trend may help Indiado well for the next 10, 15 or even20 years," he added.In the first WTC cycle, NewZealand defeated India in the fi-nals to win the Test mace. Lee be-lieves that WTC has brought backthe interest in the longest format ofthe game."It is heartening to note that lots ofpeople have been watching Testcricket, and if at all any proof wasneeded for that, the broadcast fig-ures for the final released lastweek are there for all to see. TheWorld Test Championship haschanged the cricket landscape,setting a new benchmark. We talkabout T20 cricket and 50-overcricket and even newer versions ofthe game, but I believe that Testcricket continues to be in vogue,"said Lee.

silver and now it is bronze, so Iam very happy," said Sindhuduring a virtual press conferenceorganised by the Badminton As-sociation of India (BAI) onMonday.

"Well, during the bronzemedal match, initially after thesemifinals, I was a little sad. Mycoach and physio told me that itis not over yet. There weremixed emotions after the semi-final, should I be sad or should Ibe happy that I have anotherchance? On the day of the bronzemedal match, I woke up andthought to myself that I need togive my best. Getting a medalfor the country at the Olympicsis a very big thing," she added.

While replying to an queryon the conversations betweenher and the coach Park Tae-sangbefore the bronze medal match,Sindhu said: "Well, I was sad af-ter the semifinal. We were all intears, that was the time we had tocontrol and be strong. My coachPark and physio motivated meand supported me. They told methat there is one more match togo and they told me that I cannotbe sad as I have one more oppor-tunity. They kept saying that Ineed to keep on preparing andcoach Park told me that there is abig difference between thebronze medal and the fourth po-sition. The next day I was like Ineed to do my best."

"Well, BAI has really helpedme a lot. I am thankful to them,whatever needed and wheneverneeded, they have always beenthere. Whenever I needed some-thing, it was done immediately.All my needs were taken care of,I am thankful to them. Their roleis a lot, I also dedicate this medalto them," she added.

India women's hockey team cap-tain Rani Rampal was proud ofthe Women in Blue as the teamexecuted their plans well againstAustralia and booked a historicberth in the final four of the ongo-ing Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Gurjit Kaur scored the lonegoal in the match during the firsthalf through a penalty corner in avery tightly contested match.

"I am super proud of the teamespecially each individual player.Before the game, we just said onething to each other, give it all thatyou have then we will see whatwill happen, just don't focus onthe semi-final or final. We justconcentrated on sixty minutes andwe put all our energy and focus onour jobs," Rani Rampal told re-porters after the match.

"By scoring the goal in thefirst half and then defending it es-pecially against a team like Aus-tralia is not easy. We played as ateam and according to the plan ofour coaches."

"When we entered the tour-nament, everyone thought ourpool was tough and it was tough.After losing opening matcheswith such margins it's not easy tocome back in the tournament and

it needs a lot of courage andmindset.

"The first half against theNetherlands gave us a lot of con-fidence and after the Great Britainmatch, we all were crying be-cause of not that we lost thematch but because that we didn't

follow the plan. We are in semisnow and it's an open game now.We will celebrate for a little todayand will focus on the next game."

Earlier on Sunday, the men'shockey team also reached thesemi-finals after ManpreetSingh's side defeated Great

Britain 3-1.Talking about both men's and

women's hockey teams reachingsemis, Rani said, "There can't beany bigger moment to be proud ofin Indian Hockey because if teamsports does anything it unites thenation."

The Indian men's hockeyteam coach Graham Reid hassent out a strong message tohis players about keepingtheir emotions in checkahead of their historic semi-final encounter against WorldChampions Belgium onTuesday.

While the Australian ex-pressed that he was happywith the 3-1 victory againstGreat Britain in the quarter-final on Sunday and laudedtheir fighting spirit, he high-lighted that the two greencards and one yellow card inthe game is something theyought to avoid against aworld-class team like Bel-gium.

"I am very proud of theplayers. We fought hard andsometimes that is what youhave to do in final situationsof a crunch game like thequarter-final.

You have to fight, biteand scratch. We were verylucky yesterday because they(Great Britain) created moreopportunities than us but ourPC defence and Sreejesh es-pecially were magnificentlast night. They saved us,"Reid said in an official Hock-ey India release.

"But looking forward,the things we can learn fromlast night is that there is a dif-ference between passion andemotion. Sometimes, we letour emotions take over. We

need to keep 11 players onthe pitch.

The problem is that weplayed a lot of our gameagainst Great Britain with 10men on the pitch. We can't dothat against Belgium andthink that we can be victori-ous. That will be the big mes-sage to the team today whenwe have a meeting," assertedReid.

While the team won thecrunch quarter-final gamewith three field goals fromDilpreet Singh (7'), GurjantSingh (16') and Hardik Singh(57'), Reid believes there isstill some work to be done inensuring a sustained attack.

"It was great to scorefield goals against GreatBritain. We didn't get anycorners, so of course we alsoneed to be working on a sus-tained attacking pressurewhich I always talk aboutwith the players. As I said,against a team like Belgium,it will be very important tokeep all 11 players on thepitch the entire duration,"added Reid.

On the cusp of creatinghistory, India will be gunningfor a victory on Tuesday andwill be riding on their recentexperiences against Belgium.India has tasted successagainst them in the FIHHockey Pro League in 2020where they beat the WorldChampions 2-1 in their sec-ond game and had lost 2-3 intheir first of the two double-headers in Bhubaneswar.

"It's something I'm looking forwardto. I've been up the top for three years andfeel like any time called upon I can do agood job up there, so to go back into themiddle order is a challenge I'm excited todo. It doesn't faze me too much, whatev-er needs to be done," ESPNcricinfo quot-

ed Wade as saying. "Then once the WorldCup comes around, whether than means Igo back up the top or stay in the middleorder we aren't 100 per cent sure. Theway Mitch has come out and played atNo. 3 that's certainly another option for us

at the top. He could open as well if weneeded him to. So we are probably rollingthrough a few different scenarios ofwhere guys can fit in the best team comethe World Cup," he added. Wade reckonsthat he would be in good stead as he hasplenty of experience of playing in themiddle-order. The left-handed batsmanhad batted at No. 6 in the last matchagainst West Indies and he managed toscore 26 runs off 18 balls. "ThankfullyI've played for Australia in the middle or-der a lot, especially in one-day cricketand even T20 have probably played 50-50 of my innings. It's probably more achance to get there now and get somemore work in, I haven't done it for threeyears so it certainly has its challengescompared to opening the batting but it's agood opportunity to do it," said Wade.
