Panaji: Even though St Francis Xavier is today revered as one of the greatest Christian missionaries and the foremost among Jesuits, his canonisation didn’t come easy or quick; it took almost seven decades after his death in 1552. Pope Gregory XV canonised Xavier on March 12, 1622. Interestingly, he was made saint along with his friend Ignatius of Loyola, a fellow Spaniard, and one of the men with whom he co-founded the Society of Jesus while they were students at the University of Paris. While Xavier is considered one of the most important spreaders of the Gospel since St Paul centuries earlier, it’s long been a matter of speculation as to why his canonisation took so long. Theologian and priest Fr Victor Ferrao says that one of the contributing factors for this delay could have been that while Xavier was carrying out his missionary work in Goa, his own fellow-Jesuits had written against him to Ignatius. “To St Francis Xavier, he was on the mission given to him, of spreading the Word of God in new lands. He felt he should be carrying out that work, and felt that there were already people present in Goa to carry out the work. But this caused him to be administratively missed in Goa, and the Jesuits here were not happy about it,” said Ferrao. He also said that Ignatius too appeared to have briefly doubted whether Xavier had gone astray from his mission. However, Ferrao also believes that Xavier’s canonisation could have taken time for other practical and political reasons within the Church at the time. “After you have passed away, it (canonisation) is a lengthy process,” said Ferrao, who is also an independent researcher attached to the St Francis Xavier Church in Borim. “Mother Teresa’s canonisation, for instance, did not take time as the Pope had seen her work while she was alive. But otherwise, in the canonisation process, you first have to become ‘Servant of God’, and then ‘Venerable’. Then, miracles have to be accepted. You need to have important miracles that cannot be explained by medicine. In the case of Xavier, he had brought a dead man to life.” Ferrao said that another reason for the delay could be Eurocentrism in the Church, with Xavier having worked mainly in the East. “There was some kind of neglect from people working within the bureaucracy of the Church,” he said. In 1609, the beatification of Ignatius brought about a growing interest in Rome about the Jesuit founder’s companion, friend, and compatriot. Fr John Padberg, a former history professor at Saint Louis University and director of the Institute of Jesuit Sources, makes some interesting observations in his writings on the circumstances surrounding the canonisations of Ignatius and Xavier. The Pope at the time, Gregory XV, was the first Pope educated by Jesuits, ascending to the papacy just 81 years after the founding of the Society of Jesus (the formal name of the Jesuits). Padberg writes that this likely influenced his decision. Three other people were canonised on the same day as Ignatius and Xavier: St Philip Neri, a Roman who founded the Oratorian Fathers, Teresa of Avila, a Spanish Carmelite Nun, and Isidore of Madrid, a Spanish farmer who lived a life of simplicity. Also, back in the 17th century, canonisations didn’t take place as often as they do in the modern era. “The canonisation of the five saints was the first such declaration in 70 years,” writes Padberg. For context, the past three Popes, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, have canonised well over 1,000 saints during their pontificates. Since that canonisation day four centuries ago, more than 50 Jesuits — including St John de Britto, who worked and died in India — have been canonised, indicating the importance of Gregory XV’s decision to canonize Ignatius and Francis. “This canonization is a milestone in Jesuit history,” Padberg writes.Police arrested a man who fatally stabbed a 38-year-old woman and wounded a man during a house party in the Bronx, cops said. Lamont Wilson, 46 was intoxicated and told to leave a house party on Macombs Rd. near Inwood Ave. in Highbridge, according to police. Angered, Wilson, in retaliation, pulled out a knife and stabbed to death Britney Webb, 38, and also stabbed a 46-year-old man in the left leg. Cops arriving at the scene found Webb with multiple stab wounds to the chest and back around 3:30 a.m. and arrested Wilson later that night, sources told the Daily News. “It was a whole bunch of noise outside before the cops came,” a neighbor who didn’t want to be named said. “You heard noise in the hallway, but you heard somebody outside yelling, ‘I’ll kill you!’ He was just rambling on the street.” EMS rushed Webb to St. Barnabas Hospital where she died around 4:12 a.m. At the same time, the man who was stabbed in the leg arrived at the same hospital through private means and was listed in stable condition. Webb’s loved ones took to social media to share their condolences in wake of the violence. “MY COUSIN WE USE TO SIT AND TALK FOR HOURS ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT YOU WOULD ALWAYS SAY BIG CUZ I WOULD TELL YOU NAWL U BIG CUZ I LOVE YOU CUZ AND GOING TO MISS U,” one Facebook post said. Wilson, who has 23 prior arrests, was charged with murder in the second degree, two counts of attempted murder, manslaughter, criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child.IRCTC Hotel Service: Hotel like room will be available at railway station for Rs 100, check detailsfc 777 casino login philippines download free 。

Amid Planning for $20 Billion Magma Powered-Powered AI Data Center, Magma Power LLC Is Granted Its 14th U.S. Patent On Revolutionary Green Baseload Energy SourceGovt inspects Siaya projects, commits to fast-track completionFormer Green Party leader Caroline Lucas has also resigned as vice-president of the animal welfare organisation, with both of them expressing their “sadness” over leaving the roles. It comes after an Animal Rising investigation made claims of cruelty at “RSPCA Assured” slaughterhouses in England and Scotland, with the campaign group sharing footage of alleged mistreatment. RSPCA Assured is a scheme whereby approved farms must comply with the organisation’s “stringent higher welfare standards”, according to its website. Mr Packham shared the news of his resignation on social media, saying: “It is with enormous sadness that I have resigned from my role as president of the RSPCA. “I would like to register my respect and admiration for all the staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to protect animals from cruelty.” Ms Lucas said she and Mr Packham failed to get the charity’s leadership to act. She posted on X, formerly Twitter: “With huge sadness I’m resigning as VP of the RSPCA, a role I’ve held with pride for over 15 years. “But their Assured Schemes risk misleading the public & legitimising cruelty. “I tried with @ChrisGPackham to persuade the leadership to act but sadly failed.” In June, the RSPCA commissioned an independent review of 200 farms on its assurance scheme which concluded the scheme was “operating effectively” to assure animal welfare on member farms. Following Animal Rising’s release of footage last week, the charity said it was “appalled” by what was shown, adding that it launched an immediate investigation and suspended three slaughterhouses from the scheme. In the wake of Mr Packham and Ms Lucas’ resignations, an RSPCA spokesperson said it is “simply not true” that the organisation has failed to take urgent action. They said: “We agree with Chris and Caroline on so many issues and have achieved so much together for animals, but we differ on how best to address the incredibly complex and difficult issue of farmed animal welfare. “We have discussed our work to drive up farmed animal welfare standards openly at length with them on many occasions and it is simply not true that we have not taken urgent action. “We took allegations of poor welfare incredibly seriously, launching an independent review of 200 farms which concluded that it was ‘operating effectively’ to improve animal welfare. “We are taking strong steps to improve oversight of welfare, implementing the recommendations in full including significantly increasing unannounced visits, and exploring technology such as body-worn cameras and CCTV, supported by £2 million of investment.” The charity insisted that while 94% of people continue to choose to eat meat, fish, eggs and dairy, it is the “right thing to do” to work with farmers to improve the lives of animals. “RSPCA Assured visit all farms on the scheme every year, but last year just 3% of farms were assessed for animal welfare by state bodies,” the spokesperson continued. “No-one else is doing this work. We are the only organisation setting and regularly monitoring animal welfare standards on farms. “We have pioneered change through RSPCA Assured, which has led to improvements throughout the industry including CCTV in slaughterhouses, banning barren battery cages for hens and sow stalls for pigs, giving salmon more space to swim and developing slower growing chicken breeds who have better quality of life.”

Prison will not silence me, Iran's Mohammadi says

As Jasprit Bumrah ripped through the Australian batting order on the in Perth, fans were left captivated by his unorthodox bowling action. But after broadcasters showed side-on vision of the moment just before he releases the ball, many were left wondering whether his action is actually legal? Bumrah has a noticeable bend in his arm before he delivers the ball, leaving numerous cricket fans questioning whether he's actually 'chucking'. Under ICC laws, bowlers can't have their "elbow extended by more than 15 degrees between their arm reaching the horizontal and the ball being released." If an umpire suspects a bowler is contravening that law, they can submit a report to the match referee and the ICC will undergo subsequent testing. Bumrah has never been reported or undergone testing, and the key lies in the fact his arm 'hyperextends' rather than bends. Former England international and renowned bowling coach Ian Pont explained in 2022 why Bumrah's action is deemed legal. In light of Pakistan bowler Mohammad Hasnain being reported for a similar action, Pont wrote on social media about Bumrah: "You can see his arm straight from the wrist to elbow. The rule is when it is above the vertical that the elbow must not bend past 15 degrees. You can clearly see the forward flexion in his arm, which is a hyperextension. This is allowed (a forward bend) for people with hyper-mobile joints. "A hyperextension is a movement in the similar direction to the direction of movement – not downward or to the side. This is why Bumrah’s action is classified as legal since it is within the guidelines of hypermobility." People saying Bumrah chucks it when he doesn't and 'why' is Hasnain under the scanner. To clear up what I am seeing, here is likely what ICC were interested in. I mentioned a while ago it was worth addressing this for Hasnain. — Ian Pont Official (@Ponty100mph) Same like Murali Something which u have manufactured by birth no one can do anything — Sashank (@Sashank1836007) Main difference between someone who's hyperextending to the straight vs someone who's flexing their arm, termed as chucking. Here Bumrah's arm is actually straighter than most, and remains so for the entire duration. It is perfectly in accordance with the ICC regulations. — Adarsh (@adarshisit) Many Australian cricket fans would have been seeing Bumrah for the first time on Friday, and it sparked some questions about the legality of his action. One person wrote on social media: "How is Jaspreet Bumrah even allowed to bowl with that action. He is clearly chucking." While another commented: "Fox Cricket analysing Bumrah’s technique in slow motion and all I can see is a bent elbow and chucking." Speaking before the Test match, David Warner explained why Bumrah is so difficult to face. As well as his hypermobility, the India captain also employs a much shorter and methodical run-up before unleashing. “The key challenge of Bumrah is getting used to his action. If you haven’t faced him before, it can be quite challenging," Warner said. "You’ve got to try and get used to the stutter at the crease. And then he lets go some thunderbolts. He always hits line and length. Can swing them both ways. I think the beauty of him is he’s got two different gears. He can pitch it up when the ball is new and then he can go the other length.” Everyone’s too scared to mention the elephant in the room, but Bumrah’s chucking it. — ~ 🤌🤌🤌 ~ (@2wenty2wenty2) Has Bumrah ever be called for throwing? Or are umpires too afraid to make the call against an Indian? — AFHell - A bankrupt VFL in disguise (@AF_Hell) Hmm I’m no expert but after the close ups - I’m looking at the Bumrah last bowling action and it appears to me to be a little bit like throwing? 😂 — MMKreasionMM (@BlknWhtKat) analysing Bumrah’s technique in slow motion and all I can see is a bent elbow and chucking. — Tim Findlay (@TimFindlay) How is Jaspreet Bumrah even allowed to bowl with that action. He is clearly chucking!! — Shahid (@shhhahidd) Bumrah has experience throwing things when he's not allowed too — Ranga846 (@ranga846) According to Paul Felton, a senior lecturer in biomechanics at Nottingham Trent University who has worked with cricket coaches, Bumrah gets two distinct advantages from his hypermobility. He : "One is that he can hold onto the ball for far longer giving him more time to generate speed, the second he can get into a position closer to the batter at release which reduces their reaction time," he said. “His hypermobility also provides further advantages (in) that he is able to maintain alignment throughout his bowling action which reduces variability in his control of line and length. So, his hypermobility makes him unique. That he’s able to maximise speed by accessing more optimal movement patterns which increases control and provide lower injury risk.” Bumrah was the star of the show on Friday, taking 4-17 as Australia were reduced to 7-67 in response to India's first-innings total of 150. Bumrah removed debutant opener Nathan McSweeney (10), Usman Khawaja (eight), and Steve Smith (golden duck) in a devastating opening spell, before coming back to get Pat Cummins (three).

Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday stressed on adopting virtual ICUs , telemedicine , and artificial intelligence in the medical sector to address future healthcare challenges. Speaking at the 120th foundation day of King George's Medical University , the CM said institutions like IIT Kanpur, UPTU, SGPGIMS, and KGMU must collaborate for better healthcare solutions. He assured that funds would never be an issue for KGMU projects. The CM said the state govt has allocated Rs 300 crore to KGMU for new machines and labs, Rs 377 crore for a surgery department, Rs 46 crore for fire safety, and Rs 70 crore for expansion of the cardiology department. He said govt has provided all required resources to KGMU it needs to grow and now the focus should be on improving services and planning for the next 100 years. He praised KGMU for its exceptional efforts during the Covid-19 pandemic, which provided critical support to those in need. He also awarded medals and certificates to 67 meritorious MBBS and BDS students. Yogi said while several nations adopted advanced medical technologies years ago, India still needs to catch up. Yogi shared how his govt has worked to eliminate corruption and ensure public projects are completed with integrity. He said, "When our govt came to office, many funds were unused and lying in PLA accounts due to a lack of timely utilisation. These funds were recovered and used to help farmers, pay salaries, and complete important projects. We also instructed institutions to complete projects in a time-bound manner," he added. Expressing concern over the rising number of road accident deaths, he said over 25,000 lives were lost in road accidents last year in UP, with 40% of the victims in the 18-40 age group. To prevent such tragedies, he urged citizens to follow traffic rules. He also highlighted the critical role of trauma centers in saving the lives of accident victims. Speaking about the importance of organ donation, the CM asked doctors to explain to families of brain dead patients how organ donation can help others. "We need to educate the public that if a brain dead person can save another's life through organ donation, it should be embraced," he added. Yogi also voiced concern on mental health problems caused by excessive smartphone use. He suggested that experts from KGMU and IIT should run campaigns to educate people about the harmful effects of excess screen time. He advised doctors and healthcare workers to be kind and caring toward patients. "Even after they recover, patients will always remember how they were treated by the hospital staff," he said. Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak in his address said improvements are being made in healthcare and medical education across the state. He emphasised that there is no shortage of funds and said Rs 300 crore has been allocated solely for purchasing medical equipment for KGMU, compared to the previous allocation of Rs 50 crore. This increase will bring substantial improvement in diagnostic and treatment facilities, he added. State minister Mayankeshwar Sharan Singh said improvement in OPD facilities and diagnostic procedures in hospitals reflects govt's continuous efforts to better healthcare facilities.The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said Friday hospitals have only two days' fuel left before they must restrict services, after the UN warned aid delivery to the war-devastated territory is being crippled. The warning came a day after the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant more than a year into the Gaza war. The United Nations and others have repeatedly decried humanitarian conditions, particularly in northern Gaza where Israel said Friday it had killed two commanders involved in Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that triggered the war. Gaza medics said an overnight Israeli raid on Beit Lahia and nearby Jabalia resulted in dozens killed or missing. Marwan al-Hams, director of Gaza's field hospitals, told reporters all hospitals in the Palestinian territory "will stop working or reduce their services within 48 hours due to the occupation's (Israel's) obstruction of fuel entry". World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Friday he was "deeply concerned about the safety and well-being of 80 patients, including 8 in the intensive care unit" at Kamal Adwan hospital, one of just two partly operating in northern Gaza. Late Thursday, the UN's humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories, Muhannad Hadi, said: "The delivery of critical aid across Gaza, including food, water, fuel and medical supplies, is grinding to a halt." He said that for more than six weeks Israeli authorities "have been banning commercial imports" while "a surge in armed looting" has targeted aid convoys. Vowing to stop Hamas from regrouping, Israel on October 6 began an air and ground operation in Jabalia and then expanded it to Beit Lahia. Gaza's health ministry says the operation has killed thousands. The UN says more than 100,000 have been displaced from the area, and an official told the Security Council last week that people "are effectively starving". Issuing the warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, the Hague-based ICC said there were "reasonable grounds" to believe they bore "criminal responsibility" for the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare, and crimes against humanity including over "the lack of food, water, electricity and fuel, and specific medical supplies". A furious Netanyahu said: "Israel rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions and accusations made against it." He said the judges were "driven by anti-Semitic hatred of Israel". On Friday, he thanked his Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban for his show of "moral clarity" in inviting him to visit in defiance of the ICC warrant, which Orban branded "political". Hungary currently holds the rotating EU presidency. US President Joe Biden, whose country is Israel's top military supplier, called the warrants against Israeli leaders "outrageous", but other world leaders supported the court. Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris said Netanyahu would be arrested if he set foot in the country. Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday discussed efforts towards a ceasefire in Lebanon, the White House said. The ICC also issued a warrant for Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif, saying it had grounds to suspect him of war crimes and crimes against humanity over the attacks on Israel that sparked the war, and including "sexual and gender-based violence" against hostages. Israel said it killed Deif in July, but Hamas has not confirmed his death. On Thursday, a UN representative said an Israeli raid on Palmyra in Syria this week was "likely the deadliest" by Israel on the country so far. On Friday, a war monitor said the strikes killed 92 pro-Iran fighters. Israel again bombed Gaza on Friday. In Gaza City, just south of Jabalia, one man who said he took his cousins to hospital after a strike urged "the world... to put an end" to the war. Belal, who gave only his first name, said 10 members of his family had been killed. At least 44,056 people have been killed in Gaza during more than 13 months of war, most of them civilians, according to figures from Gaza's health ministry which the United Nations considers reliable. Hamas triggered the war with the deadliest attack in Israeli history, which resulted in the deaths of 1,206 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures. The war expanded to Lebanon in late September when Israel escalated air strikes against Iran-backed Hezbollah and later sent ground troops into southern Lebanon, after nearly a year of tit-for-tat cross-border exchanges which Hezbollah said were in support of Hamas. Lebanon says more than 3,580 people have been killed in the country, most of them since late September. Israeli strikes again targeted Hezbollah's south Beirut stronghold and south Lebanon on Friday, the official National News Agency said. Thousands of UN peacekeepers are based in southern Lebanon and have reported coming under attack numerous times, blaming both Israel and "non-state" actors. On Friday, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Hezbollah was probably behind a rocket attack that lightly wounded four Italian peacekeepers. bur-ami/srm/kir
