This month s central message is self-denial and to focus the mind on the sufferings of others. For the faithful all over the world, this holy month mean self-abnegation, a spiri- tual attainment in submission to the will of God and to the service of humankind. It s internal, and eternal message is sacrifice , putting your ends back and taking others needs prioritized. By and large, the faithful abide by this sublime message. But some do not care, especially the ones who can be called the merchants of violence and mayhem. They have faith in killing. They kill innocent Afghans unabatedly whether it is Ramadan, Friday or Eid. They feel no qualms in mixing their spirituality with the worldliness and cunningness, making the former subservient to the latter. This is saddening, as this amounts to sheer hypocrisy.

Just listen to the discourse of the politicos over these days? It is all about their petty politics; to be more precise, about their greed and evil earnings. They are busy in haggling, bargaining and devouring the national wealth and donations coming into national coffers. They have everything on their table but what is missing outright from their discourse are the general masses, the common people. Then, is this whole of talk all about the change of faces, not the change of style in governance? New faces have appeared on the political stage of the country. However, the bigger concern is will the situation improve? And does this country exist only for their loathsome political games and power plays, and not for civilians, mostly living in abject poverty and cry- ing for some relief to their doleful lots? And finally, will the Taliban ever answer to the call of the poor that why there are being targeted on daily basis? What is their crime and is the crime such a bigger one that death is the final punishment? Will the Taliban tell the nation that for how long civilians will have to bear the brunt of the war and for how long they will be ruthlessly and senselessly killed?

WASHINGTON: NASA has come a step closer to its planned mission to Europa which will try to find out if a liquid water ocean beneath the surface of the Jupiter's moon have the ingredients to support life.NASA's mission concept -- to conduct a detailed survey of Europa and investi- gate its habitability -- has successfully completed its first major review by the agency and now is entering the development phase known as formulation, space agency said in a statement. Beyond Earth, Europa is considered one of the most promising places in the solar system to search for signs of the present-day life. "Today, we are taking an exciting step from concept to mission, in our quest to find signs of life beyond Earth," said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. "Observations of Europa have provided us with tantalizing clues over the last two decades, and the time has come to seek answers to one of humanity's most profound questions," Grunsfeld said. The mission plan calls for a spacecraft to be launched to Jupiter in the 2020s, arriving in the distant planet's orbit after a journey of several years. The space- craft would orbit the giant planet about every two weeks, providing many opportunities for close flybys of Europa. The mission plan in- cludes 45 flybys, during which the spacecraft would image the moon's icy surface at high resolution and investigate its composition and the structure of its interior and icy shell.

Former Wimbledon finalist Lisicki hit 16 aces in the first set and 11 more in the second set to enter the record books for most aces in one match. "It's nice to have another record," said the 25-year-old Ger- man after her 6-1, 7-6 (7/4) win over the Swiss teenager. "It's obviously a good weap- on to have on grass. And I love playing on grass." Lisicki, the 2011 Birmingham champion and 2013 Wimbledon runner-up, added: "It's always spe- cial to come back to a tournament you've won before, but it's not only that. "All the memories I have playing in England, winning here and doing so well at Wimbledon -- it's all so nice." Lisicki goes on to face Magdalena Rybarikova for a place in the quarter-finals in Bir- mingham. She later tweeted: "Yeess...with my 27 aces I've got another record.

Movistar leader Quintana, who was second behind Froome at the 2013 Tour before missing last year's event as he won the Giro, has spent the last month training back home in Colombia. "Things are less difficult when you're with your family. I had a month feeling comfortable, train- ing well in a nice temperature, at altitude -- it was good for me." Victory at the Route du Sud is expected to be decided between Contador and Quintana on Satur- day's 181km third stage from Iza- ourt to Luchon with it's three first category climbs. "It will be a good test and I'll see how my body reacts. I hope to race well and entertain the fans," said Quintana, who is known for starting slowly in three-week Grand Tours, before coming on strongest in the final week.
