Scholars explore religion’s role in fostering global peace, harmony Islamabad : In a rare and inspiring gathering, scholars and religious leaders representing six different faiths discussed the transformative role of religion in fostering peace, harmony, and justice here at an international seminar. The event titled “The Role of Religions in Fostering Peace, Harmony, and Justice” and organised by the Institute of Policy Studies, brought together voices from Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Judaism to explore how shared ethical values and consciously practiced faith can bridge divides, counter misconceptions, and create a foundation for global unity. It highlighted the potential of dialogue among followers of different faiths to address contemporary challenges and promote inclusive narratives rooted in mutual respect and understanding. The speakers observed that the adaptability of religious teachings in diverse contexts demonstrates their potential to bridge gaps, transforming dialogue into tangible change and offering hope for a future rooted in shared ethical values. “Inclusiveness is inherent in all religions,” said Dr Qibla Ayaz of the Supreme Court's Shariat Appellate Bench. He, however, said the media’s attention to adverse incidents while overlooking positive contributions fuels religious nationalism. He suggested that religious advocates, policy influencers, and followers of religion must take collective responsibility to bridge gaps, promote unity, and use social media to amplify messages of inclusivity. Highlighting Islam’s message of peace, justice, forgiveness, and respect for diversity, Dr Hafiz Waqas Khan of Riphah International University, Islamabad, noted that the term “Islam” itself signified peace. He emphasised Islam’s commitment to equality and the message of reconciliation and moral leadership in fostering harmony and justice, as outlined in the Quran and Sunnah. Reflecting on Christianity’s ethos of peace, Rev Fr Prof Sarfraz Simon of Catholic Church underscored that true peace stems from “trust in God and harmonious relationships.” He said freely chosen and consciously practiced faith was crucial in preventing religious violence and fostering a culture of peace. Dr Neelima Shukla-Bhatt of Wellesley College, USA, underscored Hinduism’s inherent pluralism, rooted in the Rig Vedic principle of “welcoming noble ideas from all directions.” She highlighted ‘religious tolerance’ and ‘acceptance of diversity’ as key Vedic principles to global harmony. Quoting Sikh teachings on self-reflection and generosity, Dr Kalyan Singh Kalyan of GC University, Lahore, stressed the need to overcome misunderstandings and misconceptions about religious teachings. Dr Samantha Ilangakoon of University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, shared the Buddhist ethical framework, which focuses on refraining from evil, doing good, and purifying the mind while emphasizing the belief in the egalitarian nature and potential for liberation in all humans.‘The Lady’ set to follow Fergie’s ‘killer dresser’ Jane Andrews — who stabbed her boyfriend to death after working for the royalA recent report from the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) explores organizations’ use of digitized assessments in the hiring process — underlining the potential negative . There has been at both the state and local levels of government, in part . And while for many organizations, for people with disabilities. CDT’s new report, argues the use of digitized assessments in hiring presents a variety of accessibility barriers and potentially discriminatory outcomes. Ariana Aboulafia, a project lead in disability rights in technology policy at CDT and one of the report’s authors, said although disabled employment has been up consistently since 2020, return-to-office mandates and hiring tools such as these digitized assessments may hinder that progress. “I think that it’s hopefully going to be really helpful to have this report out there so that employers who are considering these sorts of tools — and also developers who are considering the creation of these sorts of tools — prioritize the experience of folks with disabilities,” Aboulafia said. She emphasized no marginalized group is monolithic, something that is especially true for people with disabilities. People with different disabilities have unique experiences interacting with technologies. Michal Luria, a research fellow at CDT and one of the report’s authors, offered an example of how a digitized assessment may be inaccessible in separate ways for people with differing disabilities. The study used an emotional intelligence test in which participants had to identify the emotion expressed in an image. People with low vision or blindness could not clearly see the image, and it did not include alt text descriptions — written descriptions of visual content for people using screen readers or other assistive technologies. That is one set of challenges presented by a single test, which could present alternate challenges for someone on the spectrum of autism; in this case, interpreting an emotion based on an image with limited context could be challenging. And in either case, Luria argued the test does not accurately measure participants’ level of emotional intelligence or their ability to respond to an emotionally complex situation in the workplace. “Most of these technologies are not made with most disability in mind, much less the broad spectrum of disability,” Aboulafia said. Luria highlighted the impact of these assessments on participants' emotional experience, even in a simulated hiring environment. “The discrimination is kind of inherent in these kinds of tools,” Luria said, echoing the study participants’ sentiments: They were split on whether these tools could be made more accessible. However, the report offers recommendations to minimize the harm these assessments could cause. First, it said, employers should evaluate whether a digitized assessment is necessary for the specific role for which they are hiring. Employers can consider alternate methods of measurement that may more accurately measure relevant skills and abilities. Second, it recommends following accessibility guidelines, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and initiatives of the Partnership on Employment and Accessible Technology. Finally, if it has been determined that a digitized assessment is necessary, organizations can take steps to ensure the reduction of discriminatory impacts. For example, Luria said these types of assessments should be used as a supplementary part of the hiring process rather than in screening. “Those assessments, ideally, would not replace the comprehensive human evaluation of a candidate that should be in place at all stages of a hiring process,” she said. Luria also recommended transparency about when and how these tools will be used in the hiring process, urging this information be clear from the initial job posting. For some potential job candidates, the presence of such assessments may deter them from applying to a job. Transparency can not only help people with disabilities determine whether a job and employer are the right fit for them, Aboulafia said, but it can help job seekers decide if they want to disclose their disability, when to do so and whether to ask for accommodations: “If you don’t know that a tool is being used, there’s no way to know that you might need an accommodation at that stage in a hiring process."

NEW YORK — They have seen him smiling on a hostel security camera, but don’t know his name . They found the backpack he discarded while fleeing, but don’t know where he’s gone. As the search for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer goes on, investigators are reckoning with a tantalizing dichotomy: They have troves of evidence, but the shooter remains an enigma. Police don’t know who he is, where he is, or why he did it, though they are confident it was a targeted attack instead of a random act. “The net is tightening,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Saturday. Hours after he spoke, police divers were seen searching a pond in Central Park, where the killer fled after the shooting. Officers have been scouring the park for days for any possible clues and found his bag there Friday. REPHRASES CAPTION TO REMOVE AFTER THE SHOOTING - This undated photo released by the New York Police Department shows a suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Dec. 4, 2024, outside of a taxi. Part of the image was blurred by the source. (NYPD via AP) AP Late Saturday, police released two additional photos of the suspected shooter that appeared to be from a camera mounted inside a taxi. The first shows him outside the vehicle and the second shows him looking through the partition between the back seat and the front of the cab. In both, his face is partially obscured by a blue, medical-style mask. Retracing the gunman’s steps using surveillance video, police say, it appears he left the city by bus soon after the shooting Wednesday morning outside the New York Hilton Midtown. He was seen on video at an uptown bus station about 45 minutes later, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. With the high-profile search expanding across state lines, the FBI announced late Friday that it was offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, adding to a reward of up to $10,000 that the NYPD has offered. Police say they believe the suspect acted alone. Police provided no updates on the hunt Saturday, but investigators are urging patience — even with a killer on the loose. Hundreds of detectives are combing through video recordings and social media, vetting tips from the public and interviewing people who might have information, including Thompson’s family and coworkers and the shooter’s randomly assigned roommates at the Manhattan hostel where he stayed. “This isn’t ‘Blue Bloods.’ We’re not going to solve this in 60 minutes,” Kenny told reporters Friday. “We’re painstakingly going through every bit of evidence that we can come across.” The shooter paid cash at the hostel, presented what police believe was a fake ID and is believed to have paid cash for taxi rides and other transactions. He didn’t speak to others at the hostel and almost always kept his face covered with a mask, only lowering it while eating. But investigators caught a break when they came across security camera images of an unguarded moment in which he briefly showed his face soon after arriving in New York on Nov. 24. Police distributed the images to news outlets and on social media but so far haven’t been able to ID him using facial recognition — possibly because of the angle of the images or limitations on how the NYPD is allowed to use that technology, Kenny said. On Friday evening, investigators found a backpack in Central Park that had been worn by the gunman, police said. They didn’t immediately reveal what, if anything, it contained but said it would be tested and analyzed. Another potential clue, a fingerprint on an item he purchased at a Starbucks minutes before the shooting, has so far proven useless for identifying him, Kenny said. Aided by surveillance cameras on nearly every building and block, police have been able to retrace the shooter’s movements. They know he ambushed Thompson at 6:44 a.m. as the executive arrived at the Hilton for his company’s annual investor conference, using a 9 mm pistol that resembled the guns farmers use to put down animals without causing a loud noise. They know ammunition found near Thompson’s body bore the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose,” mimicking a phrase used by insurance industry critics . Kenny said the fact that the shooter knew UnitedHealthcare group was holding a conference at the hotel and what route Thompson might take to get there suggested that he could possibly be a disgruntled employee or client. Investigators know from surveillance video that the shooter fled into Central Park on a bicycle and ditched it around 7 a.m. near 85th Street. He then walked a couple blocks and got into a taxi, arriving at 7:30 a.m. at the George Washington Bridge Bus Station, which is near the northern tip of Manhattan and offers commuter service to New Jersey and Greyhound routes to Philadelphia, Boston and Washington. Investigators don’t know what happened next. They are searching through more surveillance video but have yet to locate video of the shooter getting on a bus or exiting the station. “We have reason to believe that the person in question has left New York City,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told CNN on Friday. RECOMMENDED • silive .com FBI offering up to $50K for info on UnitedHealthcare CEO killer; search for shooter continues Dec. 7, 2024, 7:55 a.m. Jury eyes videos at heart of Daniel Penny NYC subway chokehold case Dec. 4, 2024, 2:11 p.m. Police have determined from video that the gunman was in the city for 10 days before the shooting. He arrived at Manhattan’s main bus terminal on a Greyhound bus that originated in Atlanta, though it’s not clear whether he embarked there or at one of about a half-dozen stops along the route. Immediately after that, he took a cab to the vicinity of the Hilton and was there for about a half hour, Kenny said. At around 11 p.m. on the night he arrived, he went by taxi to the HI New York City Hostel. It was there, while speaking with an employee in the lobby, that he briefly pulled down the mask and smiled, giving investigators the brief glimpse they are now relying on to identify and capture a killer.
President-elect Trump dished out a fiery Christmas message on Wednesday in which he wished a "Merry Christmas" to "Radical Left Lunatics," told the 37 prisoners whose death row sentences were recently commuted by President Biden to "GO TO HELL!" and more.
