Finals are finally here and after plodding along for the last two weeks Melbourne City is ready and rearing to go for week one. It’s been a few weeks since we’ve seen a decent performance from the boys but John Van Schip will know a complete 90 minute performance is all that stands in the way of the biggest Melbourne Derby in A-League history.
NOT THE SAME (CHAP) MAN
Connor Chapman was in the middle of his break-out season before one stupid action railroaded his 2014/15. A costly four week suspension shattered any confidence he had built up throughout the season and he returned a changed man since the incident. Chapman was one of City’s best players since transferring from Newcastle but is a shadow of his former self. Chapman needs to rethink how he wants to be remembered for his first season at City and give his teammates and fans a performance we all know he is capable of.
HAVE PASSPORT WILL TRAVEL
Sadly I won’t be attending Wellington on Sunday night but I’m sure some of City’s faithful will have passport in hand and travel to the ‘Cake Tin’. This is the second final Heart/City has been involved in, the first one in Perth. City fans are raking up the frequent flyer points when it comes to finals football but cannot complain about playing away, their form this year and in previous seasons hasn’t justified a home final.
KENNEDY OR SAMSON
When Josh Kennedy was at the top of his game he was scoring goals for fun both domestically and on the international stage. Of course Josh Kennedy had a full mane of hair. Kennedy was given the nickname of ‘Jesus’ given his similar hair style but now resembles the great Samson; the biblical character who once killed a lion and slayed an entire army when he had his locks. Maybe Kennedy needs to spend his off season growing his hair back, or just working on his game. Kennedy isn’t the man who scored that famous goal against Iraq and is just another player who has returned to the league without making an impact at all.
DONT EXPECT MANY GOALS
The last two games played between the two clubs have resulted in two bore draws which doesn’t sit well for an entertaining clash. Glen Moss was the hero at AAMI Park only a month ago and was the main reason the game ended in a draw. City has only themselves to blame for their bluntness in front of goal and have been very wasteful on numerous occasions. City has only scored six goals in their previous six encounters, and on the flip side leaking 7 goals in the last 180 minutes of football.
Aaron Mooy has been City’s standout player this season and will once again provide the midfield dominance City need if they are to survive week one of the finals series. International marquee Robert Koren has been extremely disappointing thus far this season and has only found the back of the next in one appearance. Koren needs to lift this weekend and repay the faith to those who were so keen to bring him to Australia. Koren showed he can mix it with the best in the world at stints with West Bromwich Albion and Hull City, his time arrives this weekend to show the A-League what I know he is capable of.
City will need to discover a way to win away and Wellington present a huge challenge. Ernie Merrick’s men have played some sublime football in patches but have also stumbled in the race towards the finals. The unfriendly time of Sunday 7pm shouldn’t be a deterrent to the Wellington crowd and a great game awaits them.
If City can take the game to extra time anything is possible but I see our leaky defence as too much of a liability and the players starting to reflect on another wasted season across the ditch.Google+

Anyone interested in the interplay of science, media, and public policy should check out Todd Myers' recent Environmental Watch. Myers critiques a Seattle Times story which concluded that climate change is adversely affecting Costa Rican coffee yields, and driving up the price of lattes. (Nothing captures the attention of Seattle residents like rising prices at the coffee shop). Myers does not dispute the possibility that changes in global temperature might be contributing to coffee crop declines. Rather, he takes issue with the suggestion that experts have made a scientific determination that climate change is causing Costa Rica's coffee troubles, while the story cites only anecdotal evidence gathered from local farmers and agricultural researchers.
Here's an excerpt:
[W]e are susceptible to presuming we understand the cause of natural events even when our ignorance is profound. Science journalism can be especially susceptible to this common pitfall by substituting a simple compelling story for the complex interplay of data-based science. Reporting the uncertainties of scientific information may not result in gripping journalism, but it is critical to enabling the public and policymakers to rely on the stories they read about climate change or the other environmental challenges we face.
If we exaggerate the risks of climate change, we may enact policies that do more harm than good. If we mistake agricultural problems for climate problems, we'll fail to address the real problem, wasting resources even as we continue to experience problems.
Science journalism can be compelling, but it must also remain true to the scientific process and scientific uncertainties. If journalists sacrifice accuracy for drama, we'll lose the power of the scientific process that makes it such a powerful force for progress.


In a boost to India’s deterrence capabilities, the phase one of the ambitious Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) programme has been completed and a formal nod for the deployment of active missiles is expected soon, top sources told ThePrint.
Phase one of the programme will cover Delhi and Mumbai, and guard them against incoming ballistic missiles.
“The phase one of the Ballistic Missile Defence programme has been completed. We have deployed two indigenous long-range radars as part of the programme. As and when we get an all-clear from the government, the specific missiles will be deployed,” a top source in the defence establishment told ThePrint.
Sources also said adequate arrangements have been made to ensure that missiles were produced in the required manner. Read More


The American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP) expresses concern over the proposed 9.4% cut in payment for dialysis services that was released July 1 by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of the proposed rule for the 2014 ESRD Prospective Payment System (PPS). These cuts, scheduled to go into effect January 1, 2014, follow several earlier reductions in payment for services to patients suffering from End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). They also follow sequestration-related cuts implemented at the beginning of 2013.
AAKP is concerned about potential unintended consequences including the possibilities of compromised safety, and limited access to care for our members on dialysis, potentially stemming from Medicare’s proposed rule to reduce dialysis reimbursement by value based purchasing. If the rule is adopted as written, AAKP encourages its members to be mindful of these potential unintended consequences and report their occurrences to Medicare, ESRD Networks, or AAKP.
There are an estimated 20 million persons in the USA who have chronic kidney disease (CKD), most commonly the result of diabetes or hypertension. On an annual basis, approximately 116,000 (0.6%) of this pool of individual patients with CKD progress to the point where replacement kidney therapy is required to sustain life. Only a few of these will receive a kidney transplant because donor organs are very scarce, and most undergo dialysis to stay alive with a reasonable but not normal quality of life. Some patients are capable of dialyzing at home, but the rest must receive treatment three to four times a week in a local dialysis center. ESRD most frequently afflicts the elderly and those of African American and Hispanic ancestry. Life sustaining dialysis therapy is a miracle for them and many others with ESRD.
We urge patients, their families and the public to write their representatives and senators in Congress, asking them to step in and urge CMS to fully take into consideration the consequences of any proposed action on the quality of and the access to dialysis care for ESRD patients. It will be very important to carefully watch for the potential negative effects of reimbursement reductions on outcomes of care for ESRD patients as a whole, but especially for highly vulnerable populations, such as the elderly or disadvantaged.

Former presidential spokesperson to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan Reuben has been arrested.
Mr Abati was arrested Monday and is expected to spend at least Monday night at the office of the anti-graft agency, EFCC.
Information available to Elombah.com indicates the famous journalist is being questioned for allegedly receiving some money from former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
Mr. Dasuki is currently being tried by the EFCC for his management of arms funds under him , in what is now known as #Dasukigate.
Mr. Abati’s arrest makes it at least three former aides of Mr. Jonathan who are currently in EFCC custody.
A former minister of state for defence is still with the commission since last week Monday when he voluntarily surrendered himself after staying months away from the country.
Another person currently in detention is Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Jonathan campaign spokesperson. He was arrested on Friday and is still with the commission.

MENIFEE: ‘New’ Newport Road is wide open
For now, it’s the “new” Newport Road ---- and it’s finallyopen.
At least that was the forecast Friday as a construction crewfrantically tied up the loose ends on work along a 1.7-mile stretchof six-lane road connecting Newport Road in west Menifee toRailroad Canyon Road at the east end of Canyon Lake.
“We’re just finishing the overlay at the ends and it will beopen both ways for weekend traffic,” said Trai Nguyen, seniorengineer technician with the Riverside County TransportationDepartment. “It should make a lot of people happy.”
The new road provides a straight shot for drivers betweenInterstate 215 in Menifee and Interstate 15 in Lake Elsinore.
Although the road just opened, it was a long time in the works.The project started several years ago, but was interrupted by theeconomic downturn.
After most of the pavement had already been, the developer ofthe nearby Audie Murphy Ranch who was footing the bill for the roadfiled for bankruptcy and the project was put on hold.
In March, the county put the project out for bid and an OrangeCounty contractor stepped in to finish the job for $2.27 million.The work included putting up signs, installing curbs, striping thelanes and adding a traffic signal at Newport and Berea roads.
More work is scheduled in the months to come. A bridge acrossSalt Creek and connecting a widened Goetz Road to Newport isplanned is the next phase, which could start as early asSeptember.
For now, while it certainly seems beneficial to east-westtraffic, people living north of the road in Canyon Lake and in theQuail Valley portion of Menifee must still put up with detours ontwo-lane roads for at least another year.
A key intersection in that detour will be Berea Road, whereeastbound traffic on Newport will have to turn left and double backto reach Goetz Road on the way to Quail Valley. Westbound trafficon Newport will also have to exit at Berea to get to Quail Valleyand the east gate of the private community of Canyon Lake.
“I live in Quail Valley and I know it will be an inconvenience,but at least it’s progress,” said Walt Zollinger, who frequentlyuses Goetz and Newport roads.
The impact of the rerouted traffic already has been felt at aCircle K store in Quail Valley. The eastbound lane on Newport wasopened Wednesday and store manager Nicole Masoud said she noticedan immediate drop in business.
“Our coffee sales have been way down the past few days and it’skilling us,” she said. “We have a lot of people who come from the15 freeway and Lake Elsinore, up Goetz Road, and on their way toPerris. They stop here for coffee, but in the last few days I’venoticed very few customers in the morning.”
People who usually travel Newport will probably have to adjustto the new traffic pattern. And detour signs to Goetz Road havebeen posted in all directions.
Alice Gray of Canyon Lake was scheduled to host a tea partySaturday for dozens of area women who live alone in surroundingcommunities.
“Most of them are elderly and I hope they can figure out all thesigns,” Gray said. “But I think we need these new roads and I hopeit doesn’t take long to get all the work done.”
The county has $10.3 million to spend on the twin projects. Asettlement from the bond company representing the Audie MurphyRanch development provided $6.3 million and the Western RiversideCouncil of Governments committed $4 million.
With more work scheduled in Canyon Lake and Menifee in the next18 months, the commute between Lake Elsinore and Hemet alongRailroad Canyon, Newport Road and Domenigoni Parkway will featuresix lanes all the way.
Canyon Lake City Manager Lori Moss added that while the bridgeis built and Goetz is widened to four lanes in the nextconstruction phase, businesses near the east gate of Canyon Lakewill remain open.
Menifee City Engineer Don Allison said the speed limit on thenew stretch of Newport Road will be 45 mph. He said traffic in thefirst few months will be monitored to make sure it flowssmoothly.
Cindy Lloyd of Sun City, who was grocery shopping in Menifee onFriday, said she thinks anything will be an improvement fromwinding through two-lane pavement on old Newport and Goetzroads.
“I’ve already had two friends call and tell me how wonderful thenew road is,” Lloyd said. “They said I’m not going to believe it.So, at least someone likes it.”

Cats can suffer from certain diseases related to their joints, just like us humans, chronic polyarthritis in cats is one of them.
Chronic polyarthritis in cats is an inflammatory limb disease that is a disease involving the limbs of the animal, usually two or more joints. It is of fundamental importance to classify the arthritic forms of the cat into erosive and non-erosive polyarthritis (based on the degree of damage to the bone and articular cartilage).
In cats, erosive polyarthritis often derives from septic states, bacterial infections sustained by L-forms and chronic progressive polyarthritis, while non-erosive polyarthritis probably has an immunosuppressive origin in it, being unfortunately not well identified.
While chronic progressive polyarthritis of the deforming type is a rare variant that usually affects older cats. Let’s see in the next paragraphs what the causes, symptoms and possible treatments of chronic polyarthritis in cats.
Causes of chronic polyarthritis in cats
Chronic polyarthritis in cats, is an immune-mediated disease, which means that the condition is a result of the immune system attacking joint tissues, it occurs exclusively in male cats regardless of whether they are neutered or not.
Unfortunately, the cause of this pathology is not known precisely, but it seems that the FeLV viruses and the feline syncytial virus, a hidden cat virus that usually does not imply problematic conditions, seem to create this condition.
In cats where both viruses are present it is possible that this disease can occur due to the formation of immune complexes. There are two forms of chronic progressive polyarthritis in cats:
- non-erosive, non-deforming and ankylosing proliferative periosteal arthritis: affects young cats with joint swelling, periarticular osteoporosis with new bone production;
- a deforming erosive rthritis: affects older cats, changes in the subchondral bone and joint subluxation.
In most of the times it is possible to identify the disease through the symptoms, in particular the clinical signs that we are going to specify. But it is also true that detecting polyarthritis in cats and not just this disease is not easy. Cats are very good at hiding their ailments. Despite this, if the cat should show the slightest symptom, it becomes essential to take him to the vet. The symptoms that can be detected are:
- muscular pain;
- severe fever in cats;
- joint inflammation;
- loss of mobility;
- swelling of the limbs;
- joint difficulties;
- changes in behavior.
Faced with the presence of these problems, the veterinarian will already be able to hypothesize a diagnosis, but in order to be precise he will have to carry out certain tests, which we will deepen in the next paragraph. If the cat is neglected and the disease not taken into account, the animal would begin to lose weight and have difficulty walking. Chronic polyarthritis in cats is generally divided into two phases:
- first phase or acute phase: this first phase affects the feet, carpus (wrist) and hock and the cat may have fever, decreased appetite, stiffness, lameness, pain and fluid in the joints. Also in this phase the cartilage is eroded from the ends of the bones that make up the joint and the bone spurs and bone thickening occur in the bones adjacent to the joint;
- second phase or chronic phase: generally affects young male cats under the age of 5, causing the cartilage to erode severely so that the bone under the cartilage is exposed, thus causing severe pain. All this causes a decrease in movement and causes deformity due to the thickening of the affected joints. Unfortunately, there is no cure for chronic progressive polyarthritis in cats.
Diagnosis and treatment of chronic polyarthritis in cats
Starting from a first completely visual and physical examination of the cat, the veterinarian will proceed with specific tests to be able to establish precisely what type of pathology will need to be treated. This is why the doctor will carry out the following tests:
- blood tests;
- ultrasound scans;
- synovial fluid examination and testing for FIV / FeLV;
Regarding the treatment of chronic polyarthritis in cats, supplements such as chondrotitin or glucosamine are usually also prescribed, useful for alleviating the animal’s symptoms. While therapy in the acute phase, it is based on the administration of cortisone until a maintenance dose is found and on the possible association with cyclophosphamide or azathioprine for long-term control.
In the cat, as for every human being, early diagnosis appears to play a very important role and is especially important in erosive forms in which degenerative joint changes take on an irreversible character, are painful and may require surgical treatment. Unfortunately, we must keep in mind that there are many cats who remain in very bad conditions of pain and respond poorly to treatment, where it is not possible to recover and the therapy must be carried out for the entire life of the animal.

This marbled Christmas ornament craft for kids is so fun! It’s much easier than it looks and takes just minutes. Such a fun and festive addition to your Christmas tree!
This post contains affiliate links.
This post was originally posted on December 9, 2017 and has since been updated.
We have become obsessed with marbling ornaments. They are just so much fun, and the kids love seeing the finished look of each one. They are so easy to make, but do take a day or two to dry. I’d say they are worth the wait for sure!
DIY Marbled Christmas Ornaments
Materials for Marbled Christmas Ornament Craft
- Acrylic paints in at least 3 different colors (This is a great set to have on hand!)
- Clear, plastic bulbs
- Plastic cup, jar, or egg carton to place ornaments to dry
Directions for Marbled Christmas Ornament Art Project
1. Select about 3 or 4 colors of acrylic paint to use for your ornament.
2. Take the top off the ornament and squeeze a bit of each color of acrylic paint inside, turning the ornament a bit as you add each color.
3. Place your thumb over the opening and start shaking the ornament around. Do this until the entire ornament surface is covered. If you’ve used too little paint, you can add a bit more. (It’s better to use to little and add as you go than too much and have it take longer to dry.)
4. Once you’re happy with the look of your ornament, place it upside down to dry. The extra paint will drip out as it dries, so be sure to use something you don’t mind throwing away or cleaning like an egg carton container, small paper cup, or small glass jar.
4. After the paint has dried (usually a day or two), place the top back on. We left it as is, but you could also add a festive ribbon around the top. Hang it on your tree and enjoy!

BMW has a long, rich and wonderful history with art cars. We can’t get enough. You’ll often find corners of the TG office flicking through this gallery for our daily dose. Jeff Koons’s M3 GT2. Andy Warhol’s M1. Alexander Calder’s 3.0 CSL. Iconic.
This, it appears, is not one of them. BMW Brazil has commissioned São Paulo-based photographer Gabriel Wickbold to work on a new 745Le M Sport to go on display at a pop-up store.
We don’t really need to go over this again, do we? The new 7-Series isn’t exactly the prettiest car on sale today. We’ll mention the grille, of course—it’s 40% larger than before, one million percent more chromey (that’s a word, deal with it) and generally very in-one’s-face.
Wickbold’s subsequent reimagination is, um, interesting too. Be warned, there follows a quote from an artist: “The idea of using technology to inspire and create, as BMW did with the plug-in hybrid 7-Series, is similar to my artistic creation process. For this reason, we chose a work that had movement, that referred to the speed, sophistication, and technology of the BMW 7-Series.”
Hmm. Other than that, we don’t actually have any information on the artwork, either. Our main bugbear? That grille stands out even more now.

Years ago I used to visit Monza very often, at least two or three times during the year, and it had last for over a decade. I remember Monza as a quiet little town where nothing happened during the nights. Most of the locals went out in the restaurants or just to take a walk before going to sleep.
In this year I've visited Monza twice and found it the same as it was before. Regarding nightlife, most of the locals are going into the nearby Milano (only 15 minute by car).
This cafe-bar is situated right in the heart of the town, opposite to Arengario, and it is my favourite place to have a fine glass of wine before sleeping time.
Il Rinascente is the best known Italian department store which sells men's and women's clothes of medium and superior quality level. Many of wide world known trade marks and designed clothes can be find here.
What to buy: The department store is suitable for family shopping, offering clothes for both parents and children.
What to pay: You can't find cheap clothes here, so the best time for shopping is during the sales time.

10 euros is a definite tourist trap, taking advantage of people's racing passion! At the same time, the ticket to learn about the history of the place and see the iron crown is only 1 euro!
There is a flat ground in between Mozzanico and Calcio and the monumental church of San Vittore Martire can be seen from the very far distance.

Unfortunatelly, not much of the medieval Monza have survived. The city walls were pulled down completely and only a traces of it can be seen.

The attack on a mosque in the north of Kabul city on Friday has been widely condemned by a number of national and international organizations as well as embassies in the capital.
It is not however clear exactly how many people were killed as some sources state over 20 were killed while others say as many as 40 were killed and 90 wounded.
The attack took place at around 1pm on Friday afternoon when at least 200 worshippers were at the mosque for Friday prayers.
The Ulema Council of Afghanistan strongly condemned the attack and said it was un-Islamic and inhumane.
“The Afghanistan Ulema Council condemns this inhumane and un-Islamic act … Attacking mosques and other sacred places is not justified by any religion and law and it is far from Islam. The enemies once again proved that they are not paying respect to any religious values,” the council said in a statement.
The council warned Afghanistan’s enemies that they will not succeed in creating division among Sunni and Shia Muslims in the country by conducting such heinous acts.
The religious scholars’ council asked security organizations to do everything in their power to prevent such attacks from happening.
The US Embassy’s Special Chargé d’Affaires Ambassador Hugo Llorens also condemned the attack and said the United States has great respect for the Hazara community and their resilience in the face of these horrific attacks.
“We will work closely with the National Unity Government to investigate these attacks, and to root out the perpetrators of these inhumane acts. The Afghan National Defense and Security Forces are working closely with the United States and its allies to hunt down, target, and wipe ISIS (Daesh) and its adherents from their last hovel in Afghanistan. We will not rest until we obliterate their presence from Afghanistan and erase even the memory of ISIS from the region,” he said.
“The United States commends all Afghans in their pursuit of peace, security, and prosperity for their country and a future for Afghanistan free of sectarian violence.”
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in turn also condemned the attack on Saturday and said in a statement that the death toll of at least 20 civilians, including women and children, could rise.
“These preliminary figures may rise,” the statement said.
“This latest in a series of attacks targeting members of the Shia community at worship has no possible justification,” said Toby Lanzer, the UN Secretary-General’s Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan and acting head of UNAMA.
“Such attacks directed against congregations and places of worship are serious violations of international law that may amount to war crimes.”
“International humanitarian law prohibits deliberate attacks against civilians and civilian property, including places of worship, and also places a specific obligation on parties to enable religious personnel to carry out their work,” Lanzer added.
NATO’s Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan also put out a statement and said: “Once again, ISIS-K (Daesh) terrorist chose to attack a mosque during Friday prayers, killing innocent women, children and police officers. We stand with Afghanistan in the pursuit of peace. We are firmly committed to support the ANDSF against terrorists.”
The Afghanistan Human Rights Commission also strongly condemned the attack and stated that over 40 people had been killed and more than 90 wounded.
The commission expressed its concerns over attacks on religious places and said such action was inhumane and against the teachings of Islam.
“This act is against national and international human rights,” the commission said in a statement.
A number of political parties, led by influential leaders, also voiced their concerns and condemned the attack.
They called on the Afghan nation to stand united against such acts, which aim to create division among the people.

HT Brunch Cover Story: Alia of all trades
In the late 1990s, when actor Suniel Shetty got into the business of restaurants, people said: “He must not be getting films.” Harsher voices said: “His fallback plan is foolproof!”
Back then, the number of film stars who used their names as brands to extend their universe of opportunity was limited. Today, it is an entirely different story, as Alia Bhatt shows.
About a dozen films old since her debut in Student of the Year in 2012, the 27-year-old has already bagged enough awards and appreciation to make her filmmaker father Mahesh Bhatt proud; her performances in Highway (2014), Udta Punjab (2016), Dear Zindagi (2016) and Gully Boy (2019) aren’t only the ones that will be remembered. She also happens to be dating Ranbir Kapoor, another of the film industry’s most bankable actors, and has some of the biggest upcoming releases under her belt.
But Alia Bhatt is not just an actor. She’s an animal rights activist and ecological warrior with Coexist, a successful philanthropist with MiSu, and now a sustainable fashion entrepreneur with kidswear brand, Edamama.
We get on a Zoom call with the young star one Sunday afternoon, and remind her of her last cover with HT Brunch titled Kitty Party At Alia’s, about her love for animals. “Of course I remember it; it was a special story!” she exclaims.
Which brings us to the question of the moment: Do stars today have to be more than actors? Do you look at yourself as a brand that needs to be nurtured and built?
“[In the world of stardom], after you’ve held your ground for a couple of years, your identity becomes much larger than just your primary job,” Alia begins explaining, choosing her words carefully. “Acting will always remain my main love, but you can also have other passions you want to nurture and follow… I’ve seen my seniors branch out, and it happens in Hollywood all the time. But, TBH, I’ve begun to identify with being a brand only now. What can I stand for in the larger scheme of things apart from the characters I adore playing on screen?”
Alia’s first two initiatives were charity-driven. But brand extensions can easily turn into businesses. Do you think you have a business head on you at all, we ask Alia.
Alia laughs. “I know nothing about business,” she says. “Even in school, I never paid attention to it at all. But though I may not know it all, I believe that the more people you talk to, the more you understand, the more you learn and the stronger your instincts get. While I may not know the terminologies of business, I do understand what we have, what we need, and what we must do to get it! And I’m learning along the way every day, just like I’m learning as an actor. It’s all an extremely enriching experience for me.”
Do you sometimes feel you are the custodian of a brand called Alia Bhatt?
Alia laughs, “Well, ya, Alia Bhatt is me!”
Yes, but do you think others manage Alia Bhatt more than you do?
“Oh yes, absolutely. I am nothing without my team, be it Alia Bhatt the actor, the entrepreneur, or the philanthropist. I have a team for every part of me. Even if my mind can be at 60 places at one time, it cannot be at 160 places at one time!”
In percentile terms, how much attention do you think a star should give to business and brand interests, and how much should one concentrate on the primary job?
“Honestly, acting will always be a priority,” says Alia. “So when my team needs to discuss one of these activities, they understand that. But let me tell you, I also have this thing of following up… I create lists in my mind and mark things off it. So even during the one hour when I’m driving to a shoot, or sitting on the make-up chair, I will mentally be going through my checklists. But when I am on set, I think of nothing else but my scene.”
After animal welfare, celebrity-oriented charity and sustainable fashion, where does Alia Bhatt head to next? Anything in mind already?
“Yes,” says Alia. “But I’m not going to talk about it yet. Let’s say there’s going to be more creating, more consciousness, more selling and more care.”
Alia Unlimited: Fun Qs with Alia
The animal rights activist: Coexist
Where did it begin?
“I remember looking at my Instagram one day – and this was back in the time when Instagram was not as invasive as it is today – and I only saw pictures of myself. I felt it was such a waste of an opportunity to reach out to people. ‘Can I use my social media to lend a voice to something I’m passionate about, like animals and the environment,’ I asked myself, and that’s where Coexist came about.”
Tell us more…
“Coexist is an initiative to better the relationship between animals and man, and the planet.”
How has it been so far?
“We have had some great digital initiatives: one where we let a sea turtle out into the sea, another called Pooch over Pataka, highlighting the harmful effects of firecrackers on our pets, and we are constantly giving a platform to people who are doing good work in this field, rehabilitating animals etc.”
“When a pregnant elephant lost her life due to human contact, I was very keen to do something big to highlight the issue. But that’s also when shit hit the roof with social media, so I decided to lie low. I know I will take this up though.”
The philanthropist: MiSu
Where did it begin?
“One day, as I was clearing out my clothes, I chanced upon some research that shook me up a bit. I realised that after aviation, fashion is the second-largest contributor to global warming because of all the landfills it causes. I learnt that if we can increase the shelf life of our clothes for just eight months longer, we can contribute significantly to reducing the ill effects on the environment.”
What’s it about?
“MiSu stands for My/Mi Wardrobe is Your/Su Wardrobe. We sell used clothes at affordable prices so they don’t just get dumped. The idea is to encourage people to pass on their clothes instead of just discarding them.“
And how’s it been?
“We’ve had very successful sales. Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Sonakshi Sinha, and Varun Dhawan, amongst others, have donated, and the proceeds have gone to a charity of their choice. So that’s a win-win!”
The sustainable kidswear initiative: Edamama
Where did it begin?
“I’ve always wanted to create my own fashion label, and thought it’d be a fashion label for girls my age. But when we sat down at the drawing board, we realised the gap in the market existed in kidswear. There was no world-class fashion brand meant for kids made in India. At that time, I was working on a series of stories called Edamama. One of those was about a little girl and her dog named Ed and how they go on adventures to save the planet. Kids have a natural love for plants, animals, nature, and this series aimed to make mini ‘planeteers’ at a very young age. Then came the kidswear idea, and we realised that Edamama should not just be stories. It must be a universe.”
What’s so special about it?
“We’re a conscious clothing brand that uses only natural fabrics like cotton and linen, no synthetics. Even if we have to use plastic, we reuse and recycle and we don’t ignore the smallest point.”
And why Edamama...?
“I have a cat named Edward, so in the series of stories, I had called the dog Ed. That’s where it started!”

I say let it get started.
The probable outcome, in that instance, would be a balkanization of that territory once known as “the United States of America”
This can end amicably or badly, it is the call of the liberals now. Looking at an electoral map of the overall territory, the parts divided into “blue” and “red” shows a marked difference - the “red” portion is nearly contiguous, and the “blue” areas are fragmented, and cover far less total area.
The “red” country thus formed, would then be free to accept the words and legal precedents that are embodied in the Declaration of Independence, the original Constitution, the Bill of rights, and the remainder of the amendments with the exception of the 16th, 17th, 18th and its paired repeal, the 21st.
The number of small “blue” republics thus formed, may go ahead and set up whatever cockamamie social experiment governments they want.
The second order of business would be to set up a strictly enforced border between the “red” country, and each of these scattered little “blue” republics. Those who are dissatisfied with the region in which they find themselves at odds with the governing authority, are free to migrate to the region more to their preference, once it has been established they are sincere in their desire to relocate, and they swear allegiance to the ideals and aspirations of the prospective region to which they wish to emigrate.
These new divisions may or may not follow existing state boundaries, but they would be divided on the basis of Congressional districts, and the will of the people within that particular district to choose either the “red” designation or the “blue” designation.
I’m tired of the pre-game show already. Let’s get to the coin toss.


Latest Gran Turismo 5 Features Revealed at Tokyo Game Show 2010 （2/5）
2. Dynamic Weather System
Experience Real-Time Weather Changes with Realistic Rain
(Good thing cars now have working wipers)
In addition to the time transition feature announced at E3 in June, where you can experience the day to night transition of time during a race, Gran Turismo 5 will also have real-time weather changes on select tracks.
Factors like temperature, pressure and humidity are all calculated to help simulate weather conditions that change dynamically. Rainfall will alter the course scenery and conditions, changing the dynamics of the race. Combined with new visual effects like time transitions and realistic tire smoke simulation, Gran Turismo 5 offers a detailed and immersive racing experience like no other.
Just imagine racing as the early evening sky turns purple. You start to see sprinkles of rain hit your windshield. Rain drops are lit by headlights ahead of you, and mist from the tires of the car in front of you blankets your windshield. You hit the wipers to clear your view of the road and get back to the task at hand: finishing the race and hopefully coming in first.
*Note that not all courses will incorporate these visual effects.
*Note that windshield wipers will only operate on premium model cars.

Hello dear friends. How're you all doing? Well I feel great over here. I have just decided to share stories surrounding drawings I had scribbled on my notebook. They do not really have the most heartwarming stories behind them, but I do hope you like them. I do not have any background in drawing artworks. I just like to scribble especially during the times I'm bored. Sometimes they turn out beautiful and sometimes they turn out bad, but they all have somethings in common- 'they are boredom motivated'.
The first I would like to share is the drawing of a lawyers wig.
I am a law intern and I usually attend court with my principal (the lawyer I intern under). One of those court days, the judge was delivering a judgement on a matter that had to do with a land dispute. She was using lots of boring land terminologies that made me feel sleepy and bored. I just began to admire the wigs worn by the lawyers in court and then the urge to scribble a wig came. I was surprised it came out so well and beautiful.
The next thing I scribbled is the image of a woman at the cover backpage of a book titled- Are you truly born again of water and the spirit by Paul C. Jong.
I was reading the book and at some point got confused but I kept on reading. It was then that boredom set in and I began to nod off. I was at my senior counsel's office at that time. He never liked me noddie off or being too invested in my phone. So when he asked me to fight the sleep and keep reading, I just picked my pen and notebook and began to scribe the author's image. I'm bad at life drawing, so it was a way to sharpeny mind and get my focus back on track. I tried sha.
I also made a scribble of an old tree. This was done inside the court building. We were all waiting for the judge to arrive and commence court site for the day. The wait was so long, I think the judge was stuck in traffic that day. Everyone was bored including myself. I just picked my pen and scribbled this
I also scribbled another tree. A gmelina tree. I had followed my principal to a distant local government where he was to swear in some newly elected legislators.
After the swearing in ceremony, he asked me to wait in his car as he had wanted to discuss something with one of the dignitaries there. His car was parked under the shade of a gmelina tree, and after I had waited for what seemed an eternity, I decided to occupied my bored mind by drawing the gmelina tree. I was halfway through the drawing when he got back and we drove home. I never got to finish the drawing, not like I minded anyway
The last drawing I scribbled was done today. I finished drawing some lines on a notebook for my boss. With the ruler in my hands and nothing else to do, I just picked my book and started to draw lines.
I just moved with the flow of my hand and that was the product. I still don't know what I drew though.
That would be all there is for today. I'm not an artist but I do appreciate the little things I draw even though they turn ugly. Drawing is just my way of coping with boredom and as my mum would always say, "never have I had a book without drawing in it". I got beaten a lot in elementary school and in college for drawing in my books, but I never gave up. It is just my way of fighting boredom.

Loving how cozy dark walls can feel, especially when warmed up with gold accents, animal prints, and fur throws.
Who doesn’t love a good view into someone’s home in a non-creepy and artistic way? I think a person’s home is more telling of their character than what they wear on a particular day, as these are the things and the space that they choose to surround themselves with on a daily basis.
One of my favorite sites for home-invasion is theselby.com (you need to go now if you haven’t already). They feature homes from designers, creative types, and all-around taste-makers, all shot beautifully and with quirky commentary at the end of each post.
This particular space, belonging to cool-girl Cindy Gallop, struck me because even though it is mostly black (and I favor white), I felt that it was absolutley one of a kind and very well done.


A new housing project in East New York has brought 13 new affordable one- to three-bedroom homes to the neighborhood to give residents the opportunity to become homeowners.
According to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), Councilmember Inez Barron, SRBuild LLC, the Community Preservation Corporation and the Urban Investment Group within Goldman Sachs, who worked together on the $13 million Blake Hendrix development, the 13 new homeownership opportunities include 30 units, and there are also 17 new affordable rental units for low- and moderate-income households.
The project is the latest financed by HPD to transform formerly underutilized City-owned land into affordable homes for the local community, the department said. The homeownership units, designed by DeLaCour, Ferrara & Church Architects, are affordable to residents earning between 90 and 110% of Area Median Income.
Councilmember Inez Barron said in a city where affordable housing was sorely needed, "I am proud that 30 units of housing are being made available to low-income persons in East New York."
"Homeownership, in particular, gives families in need the opportunity to establish enduring financial safety and build intergenerational wealth," she said.
"We are proud that land left vacant and unsightly for decades has finally been transformed to benefit the community in this way."
HPD Commissioner Louise Carroll added that homeownership offered a "real sense of security to families, and a foundation for building a better life for their children and their community."


If you know me, you know all I do is listen to music, shazam songs, and constantly ask people for song requests. So I thought I'd take the other side and give other's my favorite songs.
Here are my top 10 songs of 2018.
Note: Not all of these songs were released in 2018.
11. Sad still by QuinnXCII
I have now seen Quinn in concert 3 times this year, and each time he gets better and better. I even Instagram dm-ed him telling him how amazing his last concert was, and that I love his newest song, which happened to be Sad Still. Although this is not my favorite of Quinn's songs, the song discusses mental health and how even though someone may be taking medication for it, all their problems don't just disappear. It has an amazing message and also—is a bop.
10. I Lived by One Republic
As a member of Terp Thon Planning Team we often watch videos about the Miracle Children at Children's National to keep us in high spirits throughout the entire year. I Lived, is one of the songs that is often played in these videos, and makes me cry almost every single time. This song is what has kept me connected to Terp Thon and reminds me why we raise money.
9. Stay together by Noah Cyrus
Who would have thought one of my favorite songs would be sung by Miley Cyrus' little sister Noah, but here we are. Stay Together is slow, but is one of my favorite ones to belt out in the car.
8. The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls
This was the song at the bid day for my sorority that went directly with our theme. Now, you're probably rolling your eyes because. It's related to Greek life, but let me tell you, this song is what began a journey of friendships that will last forever and memories I won't forget.
7. Let It Be by The Beatles
A classic. Throughout my entire life music has always been something my Dad and I have shared, and this song has been one of them.
6. Superficial by Lawrence
One of the more relatable songs on this list: people being Superficial. Not only realistic, but also, a bop. I saw Lawrence perform this song in concert in a small venue in DC, and at one point in the song the band stopped playing and the crowd screamed the lyrics. From that moment on I listened to it all the time.
5. better off by Jeremy Zucker feat. Chelsea Cutler
This is one of those songs I listen to when I'm in the mood to be in deep thought. It gets your feels going and has amazing vocals on top of that.
4. High Hopes by Panic! At The Disco
PATD is a boy band I've loved since my freshman year of high school, and since I loved all their old music I was always nervous to listen to their new music, and I am so happy I did. High Hopes is a confidence booster kind of song you want to listen to over and over again.
3. My Type by The Chainsmokers
I will be the first to say that many of The Chainsmokers songs sound exactly the same, but there's something about My Type which makes is special. At the end of the bridge, there is a harmony that makes you feel happy and free.
2. Another Sad Love Song by Khalid
At Governers Ball in NYC this year, Khalid performed his heart out, and in the middle of this song the clouds parted and the rain stopped. Khalid stopped, closed his eyes, and put his arms out ecstatic that this was happening. The entire crowd cheered, and it was one of the most surreal feelings in the entire world.
1. This is America by Childish Gambino
When this song first came out it was right around finals in May, and I swear, it kept me up at night. Instead of studying for my finals, all I did was watch the music video for this song. While the song itself is brilliant, the music video is filled with symbolism and social commentary on this time in the USA and I absolutely loved, and still do love, every second of Gambino's glory.

A man has been stabbed to death after what is believed to have been an argument over a woman.
Laura Chan, 42, had allegedly started a relationship with her boyfriend while her ex-boyfriend was in prison, the Herald Sun reported.
Following her ex's release, all three adults had been living together, along with Ms Chan's two teenage children, in Victoria's Sunshine West.
It is alleged an argument on Saturday night between the men, aged 46 and 44, ended in a man being fatally stabbed.

Police arrested the 46-year-old at the scene on Saturday night, and he is still in custody as of Sunday night.
The 44-year-old man was found dead at the shared home, and Ms Chan was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police were seen at the scene for most of Sunday, investigating the property and its surrounds, and taking things from the home.
Neighbours claim Ms Chan's sons had not been seen at the house for weeks, and told Seven News the event was 'very shocking' and 'scary'.
Local residents also claimed a security camera on the property had recently been turned around to face a garage wall.
It is alleged that an argument between the men turned into a fatal stabbing, with Ms Chan also receiving non-life-threatening injuries

It s not just the much-mocked behavior detection gumshoes that will go, but possibly air marshals, pilot firearms training, and other TSA programs.
The White House has called for cuts in nearly every non-defense program, and while the Homeland Security department, which includes the Transportation Security Administration, is in line for a budget increase, most of that will likely go toward the president s priorities: immigration enforcement and building a border wall. As a result, number-crunchers are looking at how to cut TSA programs or staffing without jeopardizing security.
Three TSA programs have been singled out by the Trump administration as particularly wasteful:
One is the Behavioral Detection Officer program, launched around ten years ago to sniff out suspicious persons with observation techniques, in part inspired by the notoriously thorough Israeli model of airport screening (combining passenger interviews with monitoring of their body language.) Under TSA s version, screeners selected for this role spent weeks getting additional training; however, the results were less than stellar catching a small number of passengers for drug offenses and other infractions, but no alleged terrorists. The transfer of the 3,000 officers to the front lines should help ease bottlenecks. But this transition began the middle of last year following the TSA meltdown, and the vast majority of fliers, of course, won t notice any change at all. It s unclear how much money will be saved, but more than $1 billion has been spent on the program thus far.
Of the $3.7 billion currently collected from passengers annually, just $2.4 billion actually goes to airport checkpoints.
SHARE THIS QUOTE
Another item on the chopping block is a grant program to support local police at airports, specifically, large hubs like those in cities deemed likely terror targets, such as New York City or Los Angeles, where they perform patrols and provide added protection to public areas. That will simply shift more of the burden for tasks like perimeter patrols to local governments, and lawmakers from affected areas are predictably outraged. Simply put, this administration s ‘safety last’ plan will not fly, and I will do everything I can to protect New York from the administration s cash raid for the border wall, said Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). The administration argues that this is a matter better handled and paid for by local authorities.
Schumer also took aim at a third part of the plan, which would eliminate the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response Program (VIPR), which deploys teams of agents, often with canine units, to airports and other transit hubs like rail stations. After a 2013 attack on a TSA checkpoint at LAX airport, more of these units were stationed at airports, but the budget document says the results don t justify the expense reportedly around $57 million a year.
Sources say, too, that there could be more cuts to TSA if the border wall goes over budget. The air marshal program, part of TSA, is also under scrutiny, says security expert Robert Poole, a transportation analyst with think tank the Reason Foundation. While details of that unit including how many marshals are still on flights aren t usually made public, Poole says it’s a big operating expense that covers a tiny fraction of all flights. The marshals themselves have been plagued by poor morale, and airlines have also objected to the expense they must bear, since they typically save space for these sky cops in the most expensive section of the plane near the cockpit.
Another related item, the federal flight-deck officer program, could also be jeopardy, according to reports, which allows pilots who receive specialized training to carry firearms with them into the cockpit. Many supporters view it as a way to supplement the air marshals, since they both share the aim of protecting the flight deck from a 9/11-style attack. But cutting funding for pilot training would also reportedly save $20 million a year.
Ultimately, airlines could find themselves funding more of the TSA s functions, as they did last summer, when airlines ponied up more than $50 million of their own monies to add staff to handle non-security chores at checkpoints and for constructing new lanes with automatic bin returns.
The government also wants fliers to pay more of the cost of funding airport screening; and, as reported, the September 11 security user fee will likely rise by at least $2 round-trip, to $13.20 per ticket. (Look at the fine print of taxes and fees on your airline ticket, and it s there.) The airlines have signaled they ll fight to avoid this after all, they re the ones whose fares will appear higher, and who have to collect the fees.
But aviation experts say that won t be enough to fulfill the White House s goal of having the public fund three-quarters of the current Transportation Security Administration budget about $6 billion a year, according to TSA sources. (That would be up from less than 40 percent today.) Of the $3.7 billion currently collected from passengers annually, just $2.4 billion actually goes to airport checkpoints.

NEW YORK Thousands of Americans think Melania Trump s refusal to live in the White House is putting taxpayers in the poorhouse and they re giving her an ultimatum. The Change.org petition calls for the first lady to move to the White House or pay for her own security back at Trump Tower in New York.
As to help relieve the national debt, this expense yields no positive results for the nation and should be cut from being funded, the petition to the Senate reads. Police Commissioner James O Neill told lawmakers in February it costs the NYPD between $127,000 and $146,000 a day to protect the first lady and her 11-year-old son Barron. When the president is in town, the city pays more than $308,000.
Signatures poured in with Americans voicing their thoughts on paying to protect Trump Tower.
I m signing because I would rather our taxpayer money be used to improve and keep our social programs, rather than being used to guard Trump Tower just because the first lady doesn t want to move, wrote Ryan Dontje of Rochester Hills, Michigan. Many people discussed the programs President Donald Trump wants to cut, including Meals on Wheels. Helen Marchiorlatti of Daly City, California, said she won t pay taxes to support the first lady living in luxury while the elderly lose meals and people lose their health insurance.
Businesses near Trump Tower are paying the price for tight security for the first lady and her young son, Barron. The Secret Service and NYPD have blocked off sidewalks in front of the tower and set up barricades on surrounding blocks. A survey conducted by City Comptroller Scott Stringer in December 2016 found that of 50 businesses in the area, 80 percent of them are losing business.
I have nothing personal against Melania. But this is both immoral and irresponsible for the Trumps to expect the U.S. to support their opulent lifestyle. AND, it costs NYC for added security and hurts the businesses around Trump Tower, said Mary Schmidt of Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the petition.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the petition had over 130,000 supporters. The petition was created last week by Doug Caruana of Colorado.
Want to hear what the people are wanting to say? Caruana tweeted on Mar. 18. He included the hashtags #TakeBackAmerica, #CutTheWaste and #MAGA, President Trump s campaign slogan of Make America Great Again.
Once the petition has 150,000 signatures, it will be sent to Democratic senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
ATLANTA Georgia-based Arby s restaurant chain failed to prevent hackers from stealing customer information at hundreds of its stores, a Connecticut couple said in a new federal lawsuit. Since early February, eight credit unions and banks from Indiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Montana have filed seven other federal lawsuits. All make similar allegations about what the credit unions describe as a massive data breach. Arby s said in a statement Monday that it s not commenting on the pending litigation, but we believe the claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.
From late October through Jan. 19, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of credit and debit cards issued by financial institutions, including Plaintiff, were compromised due to Arby s severely inadequate security practices, North Alabama Educators Credit Union states in its lawsuit filed last month.
Arby s actions and omissions left highly sensitive Payment Card Data of the Plaintiff s customers exposed and accessible for hackers to steal for nearly three months, the Alabama credit union maintains. In the latest lawsuit, Jacqueline and Joseph Weiss of Glastonbury, Conn., say computer hackers used data-looting malware to penetrate systems at about 1,000 Arby s restaurants during the breach. In December 2016, the couple discovered thousands of dollars in unauthorized charges on the Visa card they d used at an Arby s in Connecticut, they say in their lawsuit filed last week.
The Weiesses lawsuit asserts that a credit union organization alerted its members that at least 355,000 credit and debit cards were compromised by the Arby s breach. By installing malware at the Point Of Sale or cash register, hackers were able to steal payment card data from remote locations as a card was swiped for payment, Indiana-based Midwest America Federal Credit Union claimed in a February lawsuit. Arby s knew the danger of not safeguarding its POS network as various high profile data breaches have occurred in the same way, including data breaches of Target, Home Depot and, most recently, Wendy s, the Indiana credit union maintains in its lawsuit.
Lawyers for the Weisse s say the threat isn t over.
There is a strong probability that entire batches of stolen information have yet to be dumped on the black market, they state, meaning Arby s customers could be at risk of fraud and identity theft for years into the future.
It s not clear whether a criminal investigation has been opened in the Arby s breach. The FBI s policy is not to confirm or deny whether a matter is being investigated, FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett said Monday.


In your workshops, you are working under heavy constraints and extreme temperatures.
The use of standard mineral oils, in hydraulic systems, generates significant fire risks! The rupture of a hydraulic hose is a common phenomenon, and when working close to heat sources, the start of a fire may be imminent!
Protect your personnel and your installations! Use CONDAT D fire resistant oils. These HFDU type safety fluids are hardly flammable, self-extinguishing, biodegradable and formulated from organic esters.
Our Condat D oil can, in most cases, replace a mineral hydraulic fluid, without modification of your installation.

My cousin's project
My cousin has been working on this project for a while - she's a therapist, a wonderful woman, someone we all look to in our family as being the heart and soul. She married into the family and we embraced her immediately, because she's who she is. This project helps lift one more layer of the shroud of silence around child abuse, telling boys that it is okay to seek help if they've been abused. Apparently it is much harder for boys to come forward than it is for girls. The billboards are around SoCal, and I am intensely proud of her and her work.

Liberals announce candidates for 14 city halls. Find out who is running
The National Liberal Party leaderships on Monday validated the candidates running for city halls in 14 residential towns, as well as the candidates running for county councils in Bacău, Cluj and Teleorman counties. The party’s strategy for Bucharest City Hall is to be unveiled this week.
“We running in Alba with the current mayor Mircea Hava and with mayor Gheorghe Falcă in Arad. Senator Dragos Luchian is running for Braila city hall, senator Catalin Boboc for Braila. Ioan Popa is running for Caras Severin city hall, the current mayor Emil Boc at Cluj Napoca. We chose Pavel Badea at Dolj, Nicusor Ciumacenco in Galati, mayor Petru Marginean at Deva, mayor Daniel Carjan at Drobeta Turnu Severin. Senator Andrei Volosevici will run for Ploiesti city hall and mayor Nicolae Robu for a new term at Timisoara city hall,” PNL co-president Vasile Blaga (photo) informed on Monday.
The Liberal leadership also validated senator Ionel Paler to run for Bacau County Council, senator Alin Tise for Cluj County Council and senator Eugen Parvulescu for Teleorman County Council.
Regarding MEP Cristian Busoi’s running for Bucharest City Hall, Blaga mentioned he would be validated this week. In Blaga’s view, Busoi made a mistake by using photos of Colectiv tragedy to present his electoral program. Yet, he explained Busoi assumed his mistake and withdrew the banner. Busoi’s candidature was challenged right from inside the party. Liberal MP Theodor Paleologu said on Monday that the National Liberal Party is approaching local elections in ‘a totally frivolous and even suicide-like manner’ by endorsing Cristian Busoi for Bucharest City Hall.
Also on Monday, the Liberals asked PM Cioloș to issued an emergency ordinance to amend the local elections law so that mayors could be elected in two rounds, as PNL co-president Alina Gorghiu informed.
