UN And Battle Over Kashmir
in Kashmir — by Z.G.Muhammad —	September 3, 2018
For the past seventy years the war of words, on the floor of the United Nation's Security Council on the Kashmir Dispute, has been a routine with India and Pakistan. It, in fact, began, on 30 December 1947, when New Delhi sent a cable to the Security Council, through its representative at UN. The cable, making a complaint under Article 35 of UN charter was delivered on January 1, 1948. On that day the international community became seized of the Kashmir Dispute, which was born 73 days after the birth of India and Pakistan.In the long winding duel of words, that lasted as many as thirteen hours; the two countries created a history of sorts on debates held on the floor of the Security Council.
The marathon debates resulted in the birth of resolutions that recognized the right to self-determination for people of Jammu and Kashmir. This was not something new that the UN Security said, in fact, in its complaint, India had explicitly mentioned "that the people of Jammu and Kashmir would be free to decide their future by recognized democratic method of a plebiscite or referendum which, in order to ensure complete impartially, might be held under international auspices." New Delhi told this to the United Nation, despite, mentioning that it had sent its troops to Kashmir on the 'requests made by Hari Singh Maharaja of the State and National Conference of Sheikh Abdullah.'' (Letter S/628 January 1, 1948).
Of the many resolution passed by the Security Council after hearing the representatives of the two countries in its January 5, 1949 resolution the Council provided an elaborate mechanism for holding of the plebiscite. Despite, India and Pakistan accepting these resolutions and these becoming international agreement, the plebiscite was not held. The, why tagged to it not happening, has many an answers which are hard to encapsulate in this column. Despite, the non-resolution of the Kashmir Dispute causing three wars, couple of military standoffs the leadership of the two countries instead of constructively engaging with the United Nationsfor the resolution of the dispute used this forum for exchanging of harsh words against each other. Moreover, the first prime minister of India, who had enthusiastically taken it to the United Nations instead of addressing the issue, adopted the policy of procrastination – this policy of deferments afterward became the Kashmir policy for the successor governments.
On 29 August 2018, the United Nations UN Security Council under the Agenda item Maintenance of International Peace and Security was debating on meditation and settlement. India and Pakistan that have bagful of disputes hingedto the 'lead dispute,' instead of contributing positively to the debate that possibly could have suggested some positive pointers for ending animosity between two South Asian nuclear powers, once again engaged in the war of words. India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Syed Akbaruddin while partaking in the debate rightly 'observed both in the Covenant of the League of Nations and under the Charter of the United Nations, members assumed a larger obligation than heretofore to settle their disputes in a peaceful manner.' Stating that 'there are numerous actors and many forms of pacific settlement that may be better suited to address different issues' he tried making a case against the United Nations indulging in mediations. To quote him, "It is important, however, not to charge the United Nations with responsibilities that it maybe ill-suited to perform. Mediation, in every circumstance, is one such task, it is not geared to fulfill."
The statement had come in response to the statement made by permanent representative of Pakistan to the UN Maleeha Lodhi. Lodhi giving examples of the successful mediations in Colombia and between Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia had state that "the international community cannot succeed if the SC's own resolutions are held in abeyance,and the long-standing dispute over Kashmir remains on the Council's agenda.' Tacitly calling for international body for meditation, in the debate she 'urged the Security Council to make frequent use of the secretary-general's good offices and other possibilities for mediation and reconciliation.'
Lodhi in stating, while the Council could refer disputes to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for an advisory opinion if not a legal decision or adjudication, it should also utilize its mandatory enforcement authority under Chapter VII of the Charter to refer a dispute to the ICJ whose determination would thereafter be binding on the parties, irrespective of whether or not they had accepted the jurisdiction of the Court' subtly suggested taking of Kashmir to the ICJ. Ambassador Syed Akbaruddin denounced the statement of Pakistan envoy as "a failed approach, which has long been rejected.'
Ostensibly, it seems that Kashmir will once again echo at the 73rd Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 73) that will open on 18 September. India will be represented by the Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj and Pakistan by her counterpart Foreign Minister, Shah Mahmood Qureshi. Like many other previous annual session, this session will also be marked by the traditional blame game and war of words between the two countries.Nevertheless, there is streak of hope that there will be a thaw in the relations between the two countries. News reports suggest that the foreign ministers of the two countries will meet on the sidelines of the meet.But, there is big question marks, if the meet translates into a sustained, constructive and result-oriented dialogue for the resolution of the dispute and the problems between the two.
Historically, every dialogue between the two countries has ended in the impasse- these impasse at times have caused a military standoffs and clashes along the LOC. It was for of the mediation by some countries that some ceasefireshad happened and some wars between the two countries were prevented. In his opening remarks at the ' debate on meditation and settlement,'UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterreswas right in stating that the United Nations must be "bold and creative" in harnessing the avenues and capacities available for mediation. The India-Pakistan dispute that has emerged as a nuclear flashpoint in South-Asia, for ensuring peace in the region has been calling for the mediation that Antonio Guterres talked about in the debate. Even, the article 34 under chapter VI of the UN charter, 'Pacific Settlement of Disputes' that Akbaruddin mentioned in his statement empowers the SC to investigate any dispute or any situation which might lead to international friction….'. It is time for Guterres to be "bold and creative" and for"bringing together the avenues and capacities available for mediation" to see India and Pakistan resolve their disputes and live in peace.

South Bend firefighter on unpaid leave, to go to trial in September after he allegedly threatened his wife with an ax
By: Krystal Vivian kvivian@953mnc.com
A South Bend firefighter was placed on unpaid administrative leave Wednesday, Sept. 16, while he awaits trial after he was accused of threatening his estranged wife with an ax.
Fronse Smith was charged in June with one count of intimidation, a level 6 felony that calls for a sentence of up to 2 ½ years in prison, according to online court records.
He had been on paid leave since Aug. 20, but the South Bend Board of Public Safety voted to move him to unpaid leave on Wednesday, according to the South Bend Tribune.
Smith is accused of threatening to wait at the home of his estranged wife and "split her chest open with an ax" after she wasn't home when he arrived to drop off their 4-year-old son on May 30, the Tribune reported. When police arrived on scene, the Tribune reports that Smith made an angry expression and yelled a threat at his wife.
His trial is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Sept. 24.

Australia In India
Ponting Again Defends Over-Rate Decision
Ponting Again Defends Over Rate Decision
©REUTERS/Punit Paranjpe (INDIA) Picture Supplied by Action Images
Australia captain Ricky Ponting said his decision to use part-time bowlers on the fourth day of the final Test was not to save himself from a possible one-match ban for repeated slow over-rate offence. Australia lost the final test by 172 runs on Monday to lose the four-Test series 2-0, their first series defeat since the 2005 Ashes tour of England and also their first series defeat against India in seven years. Ponting brought on part-time bowlers Mike Hussey and Michael Clarke on Sunday to improve the over rate when Australia had India in trouble at 166 for six. The move was criticised by several former Australian players and Cricket Australia is to question the captain on his move. "The thing I'm most disappointed about is there seems to be this inference out there that I've put myself totally ahead of the team," Ponting, who has already been fined twice this year for slow over rate, told a news conference. "Anybody that knows me or knows the way I play my cricket or operate around the Australian team or any team would hopefully not say that's the case," Ponting said. "I'd like to think as far as team players go that there haven't been many more that have ever played for Australia that would do more than I have for the team." India exploited the opportunity to recover as Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh hit fifties and shared in a 108-run stand. Ponting pointed out that he had off-spinner Jason Krejza, who took 12 wickets on debut, bowling from one end and used Cameron White, who had been picked as the first-choice spinner, operating from the other end for a few overs. "Michael Clarke was the next choice, he'd been off the field ill and couldn't bowl until 3.10pm, and being in the situation that we were, nine overs down, myself as captain of the Australian cricket team I feel I have a lot of responsibility to play the game in the right spirit," added Ponting. "I have an obligation to try to bowl 90 overs in the day's play and the way we were heading if the quicks had continued then we would've been maybe 12 overs down by the time the day ended, so they're some of the reasons why it was that way. "At no stage did I ever feel it was totally negative at the other end, with White I actually felt he'd be as good a chance as anybody of getting Harbhajan out. As soon as Clarke was fit he came back on and it's only a few months ago he won us a Test in Sydney with his bowling." © Reuters 2008

Superannuation and investment funds have a new way to boost the engagement of their members and clients with the launch of Moneysoft's latest digital solution, Round-ups.
Round-ups lets people make small, regular contributions to their investment or superannuation account by automatically investing the spare change from their everyday transactions.
Whether offered as a stand-alone application or integrated with existing digital platforms, Round-ups is highly customisable for each institution's individual needs and brand. It's a turn-key solution that uses enterprise-grade technology and is designed for an optimal mobile experience on smartphones and tablets.
"Round-ups is available to superannuation funds, and investment platforms, to help them grow customer engagement and encourage wealth creation from an early stage," said Moneysoft's founder and Managing Director, Peter Malekas.
Research consistently shows that member engagement is a growing challenge across the $2.2 trillion Australian superannuation industry, while the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) has found that consumers are looking for useful innovation and better service.
Round-ups is an industry-first solution to bridge this issue. It offers a unique and re-brandable way for super funds to increase customer loyalty, differentiate their offering in a crowded market and increase funds under management.
Australians' love for mobile phones is well documented: we rank in the top five countries for the proportion of smartphone owners among the population. We have more phones than people, and interact with them a total of 480 million times each day. Round-ups draws on this relationship to help people forge a stronger connection to their financial future.
That stronger connection goes both ways. Round-ups can be used to send in-app alerts to members, along with other communications.
Beyond its value as a source of enhanced customer engagement, Round-ups delivers other important business benefits to funds and institutions.
Round-ups gives businesses greater insight into their customers and their financial behaviour and habits. This improved consumer profiling and visibility offers the ability to drive tailored engagement as well as improved internal efficiency.
The release of Round-ups will leverage Moneysoft's existing relationship with Link Group, which will be a key distribution partner. Link Group is the largest superannuation fund administrator in Australia, servicing over 10 million individual accounts across industry, retail, government and corporate super funds.
Are fintech companies changing the industry for the better?

Leading the Charge: Graduate transfer helming the secondary in first season at Mizzou
After transferring from the University of Oregon, Khalil Oliver is taking on big roles on and off the field.
Graduate transfer and starting safety Khalil Oliver speaks with members of the media after a football practice on August 28, 2018.
By Wilson Moore
"It's with an emphasis on epidemiology, so the study of diseases kind of interests me … a lot of people make [graduating in three and a half years] out to seem like it's super difficult. If you stay on top of everything and you get it done, you've got to make sacrifices like anybody, but it's just how much effort you put into it."
This wasn't spoken by someone in a lab coat, or even a determined, singular-focused Health Sciences major. It was spoken by Khalil Oliver, a recent graduate transfer from the University of Oregon and now Mizzou's starting free safety. The redshirt junior's intellect off the field isn't the only thing he's brought to Columbia.
"He's just always in the right spot, right time," defensive coordinator Ryan Walters said on why he recruited Oliver to Mizzou. "He was a willing tackler and you could tell he was communicating on film and I think that's what we needed."
The film room is where Oliver's focus and intelligence really stands out. He injured his ankle during his final season at Oregon, so he used the time he spent off the field studying up. He now takes his time in the film room as seriously as his time on the practice and playing fields.
"The fact that he takes notes and asks questions," Walters said, "It forces everyone to understand the why's."
Walters also lauded Oliver's leadership, saying he's been able to be, "vocal with guys, and hold guys accountable and encourage guys to give a little extra."
"Our guys have embraced him on being a transfer," added coach Barry Odom, "and as a guy who has worked his way into a starting role right now."
Teammate and fellow defensive back Adam Sparks also chimed in on Oliver at Tuesday's practice, emphasizing that vocal aspect of Oliver's leadership.
"He's real smart," Sparks said. "He's a cool guy, so you can relate to him a little bit, but he's definitely smart, he's going to talk to you before the play. He's reading the offense before it even breaks down, so it's like, 'Okay, we already know what play they're running' because he's talking to us."
That leadership is especially critical given the lack of experience among the defensive backs. The only senior defensive back listed on the depth chart is strong safety Cam Hilton.
Oliver didn't arrive on campus until June, giving him just a few months to learn everything he could about Mizzou's defensive scheme, but he was up to the task.
"The biggest thing was just learning their terminology, how they distinguish their coverages and stuff like that," he said. "It wasn't really learning how to play defense it was more like, 'What do they call cover three? What do they call cover six?' and stuff like that."
The Tigers' defense often struggled last year. It opened the season by giving up 43 points to Missouri State and opponents averaged 31 points against them throughout the season, but Oliver isn't worried about that. He's confident that this defense has not only put that behind them, but improved as a unit.
"I had heard stories about what happened at the beginning of last year, so I was kind of curious to see exactly what was gonna happen as soon as I came in," he said. "But this defense is ready to go. I don't see any flashes of what was going on at the beginning of last year. I see a team and a defense that has tremendously stepped it up."

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, CoinJar, a consumer Bitcoin exchange and digital wallet provider, has secured a round of equity investment from several prominent Australian technology investors.
CoinJar, a consumer Bitcoin exchange and digital wallet provider, has secured a round of equity investment from several prominent Australian technology investors.
Leading the investment is Niki Scevak of Blackbird Ventures. Other investors include entrepreneur Torsten Hoffman; RetailMeNot founders, Guy King and Bevan Clark; game developer Rob Murray; and serial technology investor Chris Hitchen. The combined investment is reportedly in the region of $500,000 AUD.
The Melbourne based startup co-founded by Asher Tan and Ryan Zhou operates a platform where users can buy, sell and transact in bitcoin. It also provides merchant services for those looking to accept bitcoin as a medium of payment.
Bitcoin companies have gained strong interest from venture capital firms around the world as interest in the cryptocurrency, along with its price, has risen to new heights. China and Singapore are among the countries which have recently seen a wave of Bitcoin related investment deals.
'Bitcoin is moving past a purely speculative play. It is only a matter of time until business and consumers take full advantage of Bitcoin as a solution to digital payments,' said Asher Tan, co-founder and CEO of CoinJar. The company has already seen partnerships with a wide-range of goods and services providers including Australian utility vehicle producer Tomcar and crowd funding website, Pozible.
With over 10,000 Australian users, the company is looking to expand globally. CoinJar is a graduate of Australian startup incubator, AngelCube.
CoinJar, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, is a consumer-oriented bitcoin wallet and exchange. The website is available at (https://www.coinjar.com). CoinJar for iPhone is available free on the Apple App Store at (http://bit.ly/1atsp7t).


Hapy Friday! I have another mini album to share with you today! I hope you like it! This mini album uses the Authentique Fresh Collection.
Thanks so much for watching! Have a great weekend!
How do you bind your pages? They appear to be pocket pages with hinged inserts on the bound side. Your work is wonderful.
Thank you so much for replying to my inquiry. I thought the binding was either Laura's Stack the Deck or Kathy's Hidden Hinge. I've purchased Laura's two tutorials on the Stack the Deck, but; haven't made any minis from the tutorials yet. I have purchased several of Kathy's tutorials using the Hidden Hinge and have made several minis using this method of binding. It would appear Laura's method provides a smoother hinge as it is a single folded hinge and Kathy's is a double fold hinge. Again, thank you for responding so quickly to my inquiry. Your work is very inspirational.

What time do the doors open?
45 minutes before the face-off time. Eg. if the game starts at 18:15 the doors will open at 17:30
What time does the game finish?
We can't guarantee what time the game will finish as the stoppages vary and there is always the possibility of overtime and/or a penalty shoot-out (games can't draw). However, usually games last around 2hrs 30mins.
Is there a place to get drinks/food?
The Better Link Centre has several bars as well as a cafe on the first floor concourse. We also have food establishments local to the rink, this includes Britz Fish & Chips, Dominios, The Harvey, ASDA and more!
What is the best way to book tickets?
The best way to book tickets is online as you will get the best prices and are more likely to secure a seat as they sell quickly in the week!
If you need any assistance with your booking you can also book via telephone on 01793 886857. Or you can also book on the night at the game – visit our Wildcat Sports shop when you arrive.
YOUR FIRST ICE HOCKEY GAME, WHAT TO EXPECT
Ice hockey is growing in popularity in the UK, and according to the Elite Ice Hockey League, it is one of the most-watched indoor sports in Britain. But if you're just getting into the sport, what should you expect from your first game?
What to expect from your first ice hockey game
Let's start with the basics. Only six players from each team can be on the ice at the same time. That consists of five skaters and a goalie. The aim of the game is for the skaters to try and get the puck and score a goal against the opposite team.
Players can be swapped as often as needed, and the puck is out of play if it goes over the glass. The referees help to keep order, with each game consisting of 3 x 20 minute periods with a clock counting down. There are also lots of game night competitions going on in the period breaks so please ensure to check them out!
As soon as the game starts you'll realise that ice hockey is great fun to watch. The players are all brilliant skaters who zoom up and down at incredible speeds. However, you will be grateful for the perspex barrier separating you from the players; make sure you watch out for flying pucks!
The sport is family-friendly though you may encounter the occasional ice hockey brawl! Physical contact is allowed in ice hockey between players contesting the puck, and this includes rough contact.
You'll want to wrap up warm – sitting beside the ice rink can make you cold, so be sure to bring your coat, scarf and gloves along!
Watch ice hockey in Swindon
If you want to watch ice hockey in Swindon, then book your ticket for the next Swindon Wildcats game. Also known as "The Cats", we currently play in the National League or second tier (NIHL) of ice hockey in the UK, just below the Elite Ice Hockey League. We play our home games at the Link Centre in Swindon, Wiltshire, which has a 1000+ seat capacity and a strong fan base that wear their wildcat with pride.
Our players usually wear red and white jerseys with a red and white wildcat logo for home games, but during away games, the jersey is black and red – however the colours from home and away swap after December. The official mascot is, of course, a wildcat called Willie. He wears the team colours with the number 00 on the back.
Meet the players and get a fist-bump before each period, or visit the first-floor concourse after the game for the player signings! If you become a fan of the Wildcats you can even sponsor and support your favourite player over the season.
