FIJI Airways purchase of the Airbus A330 aircraft was the best choice in terms of a long haul passenger aircraft. However, the same cannot be said of its ability to carry a full load of cargo and passengers to destinations such as the US and Hong Kong. This, along with the fact that Fiji Airways was channeling freight that the Airbuses could not carry through carriers such as Air New Zealand, was revealed by managing director and CEO Stefan Pichler at a press conference in Nadi. The head of the national carrier said increasing flights to long haul destinations was the only solution to addressing the cargo issue faced by Fiji Airways. "I have to say that for the kind of long haul aircraft Fiji Airways now operates, for passenger services the A330 are more efficient aircraft, but

the downside is we do not have the same cargo capacity. "I know there are complaints from the export industry because the cargo capacity of the A330 is not the same as the Boeing 747," he said. "But if we increase flights to these destinations then we will have more cargo capacity, so it is a question of number of flights." Mr Pichler said agreements had been reached with airlines such as Air New Zealand to ensure that export cargo to
long haul destinations was effectively managed. "We have agreements with other airlines so there is still a way for freight to go despite our restricted capacity." Exactly how much is earned from passenger
revenue as opposed to cargo dollars could not be obtained from the airline. Fiji Airways took delivery of its third and final brand new Airbus A330 aircraft christened Yasawa-i-Rara in Nadi.

THE Reserve Bank of Fiji has encouraged the Fijian Government to focus on areas such as continuing with structural reforms in the lead up to the announcement of the 2014 National Budget this Friday. Central bank governor Barry Whiteside said government should also ensure that funds for capital projects of infrastructure remained a priority. "(They should) continue working towards a sustainable deficit and debt level, reducing barriers and bottlenecks for investment and continuing with civil service reforms," Mr Whiteside said. "The Reserve Bank of Fiji, like all other organisations, has made its submission to the Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for consideration." He said it was the prerogative of the Fijian Government to prioritise its resources to meet its objectives.

Insurance Policy Holders Urged To Pay Up

An insurance corporation is urging all 4with policy holders to be consistent their premiums to avoid discontinuation or lapsation of their policies. Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI) general manager, Sanjeev Jain, highlighted this as it celebrated longstanding insurance agent, Sambhu Datts 50th anniversary with the company. One of the major concerns seen by insurance companies is controlling lapsation or discontinuation of policies, he said. Our main focus is the reduction in the lapsation which has to be curtailed because the policies are lapsed. In highlighting this, Mr Jain also noted that 10 per cent of policy holders from companies were not paying their employee premiums. 85 per cent of the companys insurance portfolio of remittance was through employers. We have continuously follow up with the employer so that the money is immediately paid to us so as to ensure that the benefit of insurance is continued to all the policy holders, he said. Mr Jain noted that while employers deduct these premiums, they failed to submit the payments within the given timeframe and risked loss of employee policies. Some reason may be arising because of employer internal issues but that results in the discontinuation of the insurance and we continuously follow up with them and tell them that this 4 should not happen. Mr Datt Meanwhile, the company celebrated the Mr Datts Golden Jubilee anniversary4 with the company. Mr Datt achieved many milestones during his journey of 50 years as an agent. Mr Jain said: We appreciate the excellent services provided by him to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI) long-serving staff celebrating his 50th anniversary the LICI policy holders.

He later broke ranks and defected to the pro iTaukei Fijian Nationalist Party led by Sakeasi Butadroka. He also supports what the Constitution says on one person, one vote and a common identity. Mr Naco said: All credit must be given to A.D Patel as he was one who had an understanding of politics far beyond his time. His style of leadership was a class of his own. He was both smart and strict. Politics was new to us itaukei but he was well aware of what he was involved. Even those who surrounded him at that time did not see as A.D Patel. Mr Naco said A.D Patels political experience in India and South Africa prepared him for what he faced in Fiji. In fact, he was the first to advocate a republic. Some chiefs at that time especially those linked to the Alliance party strongly opposed some of A.D Patels ideals. But as the likes of Ratu Julian Toganivalu, Ratu Mosese Varasikete, Captain Atunaisa Mataitoga and Isikeli Nadalo showed their support for NFP, the party started to enjoy stronger iTaukei support. What it all means now? But that is all history now. The real challenge now is for NFP to mobilise its support, work on its power bases and find a leader who like A.D Patel has a vision for Fiji. In the end, what matters is whether these ideals translate to votes next year.

An overwhelming response has been received from the public to the plight of a poor family in Labasa that has depended on the little they have for survival. Gheeta Wati of Namara Tiri squatter settlement has been living in an old partly-damaged house with her son, Joel, for the past three years and is surviving at the mercy of others who usually help them with food and money. The Fiji Times office in Labasa has been visited by good Samaritans and received emails and phone calls from people willing to offer Ms Wati and her son some form of assistance.

Calls came from Vanua Levu and Viti Levu. A grateful Ms Wati said she longed to have a house of her own because the owner of the house they lived in had asked them to leave. "We don't have enough to eat and not even a bed to sleep on. Sometimes people come and steal groceries from us despite locking the house," she said. "I just want a house, somewhere I can stay in peacefully without having to worry about thieves." The Foundation for the Education of the Needy Children in Fiji (FENC Fiji) has been assisting Joel with his education.

A SURVEY conducted by the Consumer Council of Fiji shows a marked price increase in staple food items such as milk, butter, canned fish, sugar, frozen meat, chicken and flour. In its 2014 National Budget submission, the council requested government to reconsider reducing or removing tariffs or import duties on essential food items particularly on powdered milk, liquid milk and butter where import duty stands at 32 per cent retail consumption tax but remove or reduce other tariffs. Council CEO Premila Kumar said children and elderly people were most affected. "Reducing or removing import duties on essential food items will assist Fiji's compliance with World Trade Organisation commitments on tariff reduction," Mrs Kumar said. She said the council's monthly price survey that began in 2006 found that food prices continued to increase in an

"Between July 2006 and July 2013, all the 18 food items in the survey basket increased in price. "Four items which are commonly used in every household have increased by more than 100 per cent since 2006; 2kg sugar by 161 per cent; 425grams canned fish by 104 per cent; Rewa butter by 130.5 per cent and Red Cow powdered milk by 104.4 per cent." She said the basket price of 19 items in their monthly surveys increased by 55.22 per cent between 2006 and 2013. "In 2006 the 19 items totaled $46.27. This year it totaled $71.82, an increase of $25.55. "This generally shows how much a collection of basic items has increased in the past six years," she said.

Priscilla Reddy Will Represent Fiji At Beauty Pageant
Full Diploma in only 7 Months
Hibiscus Queen Priscilla Reddy will represent Fiji at the upcoming Miss South Pacific Pageant. Hibiscus committee chairman Hirdesh Prasad refuted claims that Reddy has been replaced and said the Hibiscus queen always represents the country at the regional beauty contest. A couple of blogs and a newspaper column had indicated that the first runner-up of the Hibiscus festival was going to represent Fiji and designers had already been instructed to start
work on her outfits. Prasad said people should not be misled. Drue Slatter finished third in the Miss South Pacific Pageant last year which was won by Miss Samoa Janine Tuivati. Fiji has won the pageant title twice with Merewalesi Nailatikau winning in 2009 and Alisi Rabukawaqa in 2011. The 2013 Miss South Pacific Pageant will be held in Honiara, Solomon Islands from December 1-7.

The director of the popular Tavarua Cloud 9 surfing floating platform, Tony Philip Junior is expected to meet Fijis Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum over governments decision to close his business. Phillip said he will be meeting his lawyers to discuss the issue in full detail and a meeting has been organised with Sayed-Khaiyum.

in breach of the surfing decree. He said after liaising with the Acting Commissioner of Police with the view to close the operation of the business immediately as the Regulation of Surfing Areas Decree 2010 makes it clear that any commercial venture permitted under that decree be confined to surfing and other water sports. Sayed-Khaiyum said the decree does not allow for the activities that have been conducted on Cloud 9, which include organised parties, the serving of alcohol, the playing of loud music and an advertised nightclub. Cloud 9 had reportedly been organising parties, serving alcohol and operating a nightclub on the premises.

Soldiers Found Guilty

FIJIAN soldiers serving overseas should keep in mind the reputation Fijians are known for internationally and maintain it. This was the view of former British Army soldier Ratu Meli Vesikula following an assault in New York involving six British Army soldiers in September. Six Fijian soldiers, who were on a rugby tour with the 1 Scots, Royal Regiment of the Scotland rugby team, assaulted an off-duty New York police officer. BBC reports that the six men Iosefo Yavala, Iliakini Raderua, Thomas Shute, Filipe Vunisarati, Mosese Kuruala and Joeli Raduva had beaten the officer after he and a friend had tried speaking to a woman who was with them. "Fijian troops everywhere have earned a reputation second to none of being good soldiers and good servicemen. And that means in every sense, in uniform and out of uniform," said Mr Vesikula who served with the British army from 1961-1984. "Everybody praises Fijian soldiers because of how they carry themselves and their duties. "They are Fijian nationals, regardless of what army they serve in, the reputation of Fijian soldiers is on their hands. "We have kept that reputation right throughout our service and they must continue that, they are ambassadors of our country. "They shouldn't do anything bad to spoil that reputation, and they have to think of their future and their families." AFP reported last weekend that four of the six men had admitted to being involved in the fight. Documents filed with the New York Criminal Court showed that Shute was fined over $900 and fees of close to $500. He was also sentenced to five days of community service and given a one-year conditional discharge after admitting misdemeanor assault. AFP also reports that Yavala pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and petit larceny, while Kurulala and Raderua pleaded guilty to violations which are not crimes under the US law. Two other soldiers Raduva and Vunisarati were also charged following the assault but it is unclear whether they have been released or face a hearing. "It is disappointing but I am sorry about it too, mostly for our boys because the law will have to be seen through up to its conclusion. "We all feel sorry for them and it's a lesson to be learnt for them and for soldiers out there," he said.

Policemen retrieve the body of Kunal Kumar located in the Waiqele River RAGNI Kumar's dream of seeing her eldest son through to tertiary education has been shattered after his body was discovered at Waiqele River in Labasa. Mrs Kumar and her daughter, Sheelam, could not hold back their tears as they comforted each other upon hearing of the demise of their loved one. Holy Family Secondary School seventh-former Kunal Kumar was in the middle of his Fiji Seventh Form Examination and was supposed to have done his final two papers. Mrs Kumar said she last saw her son on Monday afternoon when he visited his friends for a volleyball game. "My son is a bright student and he has friends around the place that usually hang out with him," she said. "He never went to the river because he didn't really know how to swim. "At around 2pm on Monday, after the volleyball game, he then proceeded with his iTaukei friends to the river where they went to cool off with a swim." Deputy divisional police commander Northern SSP Fulori Rainibogi confirmed that police officers had retrieved the body. Investigations are continuing.

NZ Offers Elections Support

Acting New Zealand High Commissioner to Fiji Mark Ramsden has reiterated his government's support to see Fiji's 2014 election takes place as planned. To show its support, the NZ government has offered two experts to assist the Fijian government with various aspects of preparations for the elections. "Weve had two technical advisors here for the last three weeks working with the team from European Union and Australia, all of them are working together with the elections office to look at the issues around and the elections next year," Ramsden said. "One of those advisors has left, but the other is around for a week but he will come back and provide support to the elections office." Ramsden said the show of support will help ensure the elections take place. I think this is a very good spirit of corporation between the parties cooperating and we look forward that it will continue to work well. The experts will be reviewing the gap-analysis reports produced by New Zealand, the European Union and the Commonwealth and assist the government finalize planning for all aspects related to the 2014 election.

Nurses Not Paid Overtime

The Fiji Nursing Association has accused the Ministry of Health of unfair practices for nurses on overtime pay. General Secretary Salanieta Matiavi defended the nurses who failed to report to their shift at the maternity unit of Colonial War Memorial Hospital last Saturday night. The nurses who requested to take their days off were accommodated for Diwali celebrations, Ms Matiavi said. They should rightfully be paid overtime. Only then patients care wont be compromised, she said. The ministrys spokesperson Shalvin Deo said they would comment today. Earlier Mr Deo had said the ministry wants to see that overtime was not abused and that work was done during normal hours. He also said that there were some internal issues that had been sorted out. Ms Matiavi claimed the nurses pay had been affected as they were not paid overtime for the hours they had worked. They are either paid 50 per cent or told to take time off from the other 50 per cent, and some are not paid at all, she said. So what the nurses are doing now, they are to take their time off as well for the hours they have worked for in doing overtime, she said. She said as a result the roster was affected.

In formulating the 2014 National Budget, the Consumer Council of Fiji is urging government to consider the increase in the cost of living. And the council is calling for the consideration of mitigating factors that can be taken to provide relief to consumers. In its budget submission, the council said government should carefully scrutinise past budget policies relating to duty reductions on certain goods and whether consumers had benefited through a reduction in retail prices. Council CEO Premila Kumar said the budget should provide relief to vulnerable Fijians by ensuring affordable prices of basic goods and services. Despite the 2013 Budget initiatives such as the increase in the income tax threshold from $15,600 to $16,000, Mrs Kumar said a reduction in personal tax and drops in import excise duty on vegetables, the cost of living continued to increase for ordinary consumers. "Consumer spending is one of the
principal drivers of the domestic economy as acknowledged by the Reserve Bank of Fiji. "Policies should thus be geared towards facilitating consumer protection," she said. Mrs Kumar said government should also ensure that Fiji continued to develop its consumer protection regime through reforms in legislation, regulation and redress systems. "Consumer protection is not antibusiness, but a counter measure against bad business." She said the view was that regulation in Fiji added to the cost of profiteering. "The council has intimate knowledge and experience of the problems that consumers face in the market place as it is the main recipient of complaints and undertakes point of sale price surveys, product scrutiny, market surveillance and consumer research." She said the council viewed the budget as an important forum which had implications for consumers.

ARIES This week others will take up much of your time. Try not to be so generous and flexible to their demands that you might regret later on. Your time will probably be better spent if you do some social work or get involved in organizations that really need your help. Your confidence will grow and advancement in career is certain. Financial gains seem eminent for businessmen, but they need to be careful while extending credit. Highly beneficial time for career women and those involved in overseas projects. TAURUS This week when it comes to business you need to depend more on your brain than your heart. Professionals with large organizations can expect unexpected work. Although you will please your seniors and win their appreciation, but any immediate monetary gains seem unlikely. New romance will flourish for some, but any intimate relationship with a coworker will lead to gossip and damage your reputation. New ventures will be alluring but consult your experts to make sure you are making no mistake. Not a good period for speculation. GEMINI This week you can expect some problems with the ones you love. You will have tremendous confidence in your capabilities, but the problems at home will severely disturb your mind. You need not push yourself too hard. Clarity of thought and a will to resolve issues will be important to maintain harmony at home. Stress related ailments like backache, headache, and sleeplessness cannot be ruled out. After
some rest and relaxation, you will feel much better. CANCER This week your views and efforts will face resistance from others. People might not be very pleased with your way of doing things. You need to win their confidence by setting yourself a deadline and focusing entirely on your job. You need not rush over your plans but seek help from others if needed. Love and romance alone will not succeed in cheering you up; rather you will like to seek some commitment from your beloved. Try an outing or a short trip to cheer yourself up and lift your spirits. Meditation and yoga will be ideal for relaxation. LEO This week your talents will shine at work, but above all you will be highly appreciated for being a major support to a colleague or a friend. You will enjoy the time that you spend with others and your confidence will also rise. Though a hectic and stressful week but it will prove to be beneficial and rewarding in the long run. This period is also good for signing major contracts. Highly memorable time for those taking a distant vacation as they will find themselves getting attracted into a romantic alliance. VIRGO Trouble is brewing up for you this week, if you do not spend sufficient time with your family members. Professionally and financially things look much brighter and you will be required to complete many important projects in hand, but whatever the emergency do not shirk from your responsibilities towards your home. An
old friend will make an unscheduled but pleasant visit, sharing with you lots of delightful and memorable moments. If you feel like taking a break from your hectic schedule then visit to the beach or the mountains will help you stay in good mood. LIBRA This week you should implement new ideas into your projects for instant gains. Seniors, colleagues and subordinates will be very helpful. Plan your days carefully as efforts put during this period will have long lasting rewards. Money gains are certain but losses due to speculation are also foreseen. You will gain valuable information if you listen to those who are older and experienced. Go out and have some fun with friends later in the week. SCORPIO This week you need to listen to your instincts when it comes to financial matters. It will be important for you to invest, but it will be equally important to consult financial experts and books on investments. Stay away from investments that seem risky and on the advice of others. Only people with experience will give you sound advice. All those preparing to tie a knot can look forward to a happy relationship. SAGITTARIUS This week dont get depressed, but put your time and efforts on important projects. Although finances will not be managed easily, but you will receive immense recognition and appreciation for your efforts. Your analytical skills will help you get everything done on time and eventually success will be yours. It is a brilliant week to straighten up things around the house.
Home front will be pleasurable, but children and youngsters will behave little spendthrift. CAPRICORN This week brings happiness and prosperity. Your creative ability will flourish during this period and your determination will defeat your opponents. You need to attend seminars and functions that will bring you in contact with important individuals. Real estate investments during this period will bring big dividends. Lovebirds will have a fabulous time and some will commit themselves to a matrimonial alliance. Overall a good week but make sure to keep an eye on your health. AQUARIUS This week you should help children with projects, which are proving to be difficult for them. People will find you very charming, witty and enjoy your company. You will be putting in a lot of hours at work or on projects that are important for your career. You will acquire a lot of knowledge if you observe others. A wonderful week to look into courses and hobbies that interest you. A small vacation or a pleasure jaunt will lift your spirits. PISCES This coming week you need to go into small details on projects, which are very important. You need to lead and observe, but you should avoid being too critical of the opinion of others. Businessmen will explore new and more profitable avenues. New partnerships and contacts will prove to be beneficial. Health needs proper care and you should avoid sweets and junk food. You should visit a gym or go for a walk in the evenings.

The man accused of opening fire at Los Angeles International Airport has been charged with the murder of a US federal officer, a US attorney says. Authorities say the suspected shooter, 23-year-old Paul Anthony Ciancia pulled out a semi-automatic rifle and started firing towards passengers at a security checkpoint in terminal three on Friday. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent Gerardo Hernandez, 39, was killed in the attack and others wounded before airport police officers opened fire, wounded the gunman and took him into custody US Attorney Andre Birotte told reporters that Ciancia faces charges of murdering a federal officer and committing violence at an international airport. Under the charges, US federal prosecutors could seek the death penalty. Five people who were wounded at the scene were taken to hospitals by paramedics, Los Angeles Fire Department officials said, but the FBI has not provided the total number of people who were shot. Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center received three men wounded in the shootings, with one individual listed
Los Angeles International Airport Shooting Suspect Paul Anthony Ciancia Charged With Murder
as being in a critical condition on Saturday and one in a fair condition. A third patient was treated and released on Friday, hospital spokesman Mark Wheeler said in a statement. The Los Angeles Times, citing a law enforcement source, said Ciancia had leg and head wounds and was in critical condition at the hospital, which hampered police efforts to interview him. The terminal was closed while police scoured the scene and investigated exactly what triggered the rampage. The airport has now fully reopened. The shooting prompted scenes of chaos at the airport, with departing flights grounded and the terminal evacuated. Streets surrounding the airport were also shut down and passengers crowded onto the footpaths with their bags as the authorities began telling people not to turn up for flights. FBI say gunman wrote note pledging to kill 'multiple' TSA agents The FBI said Ciancia was carrying a note saying he planned to kill "multiple" officers. FBI Los Angeles office head David Bowdich said the handwritten note, which was found in a bag taken into the airport, showed he had made a "made a conscious decision to kill multiple TSA
employees". "In the note that was handwritten by the defendant, that was signed by the defendant, we found a statement where he made a conscious decision to kill multiple TSA employees," Mr Bowdich said.
"He addressed them at one point in the letter, and stated that he wanted to 'instill fear into their traitorous minds'." Hernandez was the first TSA agent to die in the line of fire since the agency was created after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
A gunman opened fire in a crowded New Jersey shopping centre before killing himself, officials have said, sparking a mass evacuation of the complex by police who did not realise he was dead for several hours. The man shot at least six rounds from a modified rifle seemingly at random and without hitting anyone, before turning the gun on himself in a back area of the mall, Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli told a news conference. Authorities named the dead man as 20-year-old Richard Shoop and said he

had a history of drug abuse. Officials found his body in the Westfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus hours after police backed by dozens of cruisers evacuated thousands of people from the mall. A manhunt was launched after shoppers reported hearing gunshots sometime after 9pm Monday (local time). Jeanne Baratta, chief of staff at Bergen County, said police had worked their way through the mall. "Multiple gunshots were heard, we believe it is one shooter... Right now the Bergen County SWAT team along with the canine unit and other law enforcement are going store by store. It's a very large mall with multiple levels," she said. Najee Waters, of East Rutherford, New Jersey, was at his sales job at a clothing store when he heard what sounded like two shots ring out. "It was frantic. Absolutely chaos," said the 19-year-old, who followed a practiced store emergency plan and rushed to a break room, where about a dozen workers gathered before dashing out to the parking lot. About 25 customers were in the store
at the time. Another mall employee, Eddie Kahmann, said he heard six or seven gunshots. "There was just people running like crazy, so I quickly just closed my doors, ran to the back, turned off all the lights, music and everything, just to stay hidden," he said. The Garden State Plaza mall, owned by Australia's Westfield Group, is one of five large malls in Paramus, located about 32 kilometres north-west of New York City and known as a key destination for shoppers.

Diwali Celebration Hosted By Michelle Obama In White House
The US First Lady, Michelle Obama led the Diwali celebrations with the Bollywood music at the State room of the building along with Indian American children and a popular Indian American band. "We got to practise a little Bollywood this afternoon," Michelle Obama told a select Indian American audience at the East Room on the occasion of Diwali celebrations at the White House Tuesday. "We had a wonderful time, it was the first time that we did Bollywood in the State Room here at the White House," she said amidst applause from the audience, which comprised of the of the Indian American Community members and those in the Obama Administration. Obama has the distinction of appointing the largest number of Indian Americans in any presidential administrations yet. Wearing a glamorous skirt especially made for the occasion by India-born eminent designer, Naeem Khan also attended the function. "Of course, as you all know, I think I can dance," Michelle said in an apparent reference to her dance in Mumbai three years ago when she observed Diwali. "But not as good as they can dance," she said referring to the expert dance by members of the Gold Spot Band, the New York-based eminent Indian American band. "As you know, this holiday is celebrated by members of some of the world's oldest religions not just here in America but across the globe. Diwali is a time for celebration. As Barack and I learned during our visit to India, its a time to come together with friends and family, often with dancing and good
food," she said. "But Diwali is also a time for contemplation and reflection. It's a time for us to think about our obligations to our fellow human beings, particularly those who are less fortunate than we are. This is for the first time that the First Lady led the Diwali celebrations at the White House. In 2009, the US President, Barack Obama, attended the Diwali celebrations for the first time. However Michelle Obama used the occasion to remember the victims of Oak Creek Gurdwara that killed several Sikh worshippers last year. "As we gather here this Diwali, we remember that there is still evil in the world. And I'm thinking today about what happened in Oak Creek, Wisconsin just last year when an act of unthinkable violence shook a community to its core. But I am also thinking of how in the face of such evil, we also witnessed the power of goodness and forgiveness," she said. "The families and community leaders I met when I visited Oak Creek just weeks after the tragedy, they showed us such courage and grace. Instead of giving in to bitterness or despair, they honoured those they lost through service," she said. "They honoured those they lost through educating others about their faith and standing up to prejudice in whatever form it takes. I'm also thinking of all the people across America and around the world who held prayer vigils during that time and sent messages of love and support, and held the people of Oak Creek in their hearts,"Michelle Obama said.
Professional sport returns to Cuba for the first time in more than 50 years last Saturday (AEDT) when the first pitch is thrown in the communist island's national baseball league, part of a government bid to halt the flow of sporting defectors overseas. In a landmark policy shift announced in September, Cuba said it would relax its strict rules put in place in 1961 forbidding professional sport from January 2014 in an effort to "perfect sports, generate sources of income, and encourage quality". The country's popular baseball league will be the first to benefit from the move, with the 2013-2014 season getting underway this weekend. For decades, Cuba thumbed its nose at international pro sports, paying hardworking and fabled athletes close to nothing for the honour of representing their proud nation. The new "policy of retribution" allows Cuban athletes to keep 100 per cent of prize money from overseas sporting tournaments. Previously athletes were only allowed to pocket 15 per cent of their earnings, with 85 per cent going to the state. Legendary Cuban high-jumper Javier Sotomayor has welcomed the changes, saying they would serve as an "incentive for athletes, giving them greater motivation, pushing them to higher performances". Sport has emblematic status in Cuba, the dominant Olympic power from Latin America and the Caribbean between 1972 and 2004 before it was overtaken by Brazil and Jamaica at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. For years, a succession of hugely gifted Cuban athletes shunned the possibility of untold riches overseas by electing instead to become national icons in their homeland.
Cuban Government Lifts 52-Year Professional Sport Ban
It was an attitude perhaps most famously summed up by legendary amateur heavyweight boxer Teofilo Stevenson, winner of three Olympic gold medals between 1972 and 1980. Boxing promoters in the United States dreamed of luring Stevenson to their shores, where a Cold War-era bout with Muhammad Ali would have been among the most lucrative fights of all time. Stevenson, who died aged 60 in 2012, snubbed all attempts to persuade him to defect, however. "No, I will not leave my country for 1 million dollars or for much more than that," Stevenson told Sports Illustrated in 1974. "What is a million dollars against 8 million Cubans who love me?" Yet the hardships faced by many Cuban athletes and the steady flow of defectors overseas persuaded Havana's communist rulers to rethink the decades-old resistance to professional sport. Under the new policy, someone like Cuba's beloved Greco-Roman wrestling hero Mijain Lopez, a gold medalist at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, or baseball star Yulieski Gourriel, widely regarded as the best player in Cuba, will now earn more than $US800 ($A847) a month. The sums are paltry compared to the millions available overseas, but in Cuba they represent a small fortune, more than 40 times the monthly wage of the average Cuban worker. For some Cuban athletes, however, the changes are too little, too late. Slugger Jose Abreu this week inked a six-year, $US68 million ($A72 million) contract with Major League Baseball's Chicago White Sox after nine seasons with Cienfuegos in Serie Nacional, Cuba's top-level league.

India's Mission To Mars Makes Successful Blast Off

India has successfully launched its first mission to Mars as the country aims to become the only Asian nation to reach the red planet. "It's lift off," said a commentator on state television as the red-and-black rocket launched into a slightly overcast sky on schedule from the southern spaceport in Sriharikota. The 350-tonne launch vehicle carrying an unmanned probe was monitored by dozens of control room scientists, who face their most daunting task since India began its space program in 1963. The country has never before attempted interplanetary travel and more than half of all missions to Mars have ended in failure, including one by China in 2011 and another by Japan in 2003. The Mars orbiter mission, known as "Mangalyaan" in India, was announced only 15 months ago by prime minister Manmohan Singh, shortly after China's attempt flopped when it failed to leave Earth's atmosphere. The timing led to speculation that India was seeking to make a point to its militarily and economically superior neighbour, despite denials from the country's space agency. The gold-coloured probe, the size of a small car, will aim to detect methane in the Martian atmosphere. It has been hurriedly assembled and is being carried by a rocket much smaller than American or Russian equivalents. Lacking the power to fly to Mars directly, the launch vehicle will orbit Earth for nearly a month, building up the necessary velocity to break free from our planet's gravitational pull. Only then will it begin the second stage of its nine-month journey that will test India's scientists to the full, plan for launching a large number of communication satellites. "They have successfully demonstrated that they can launch satellites for other countries, and therefore I believe companies like ourselves, who have actually demonstrated a continuity in this whole field and have long-term vision, I think this is the time when we will now start seeing the fruits of that. Missions aims to detect traces of life The US is the only nation that has successfully sent robotic explorers to land on Mars, the most recent being Curiosity, which touched down in August 2012. One of its discoveries appeared to undercut the purpose of the Indian mission, which is to find evidence of methane that would lend credence to the idea of Mars supporting a primitive form of life. A study of data from Curiosity published in September found the rover had detected only trace elements of methane in the atmosphere. "Remember that it [Curiosity's methane reading] is for a single spot. One point doesn't make it a story for the whole planet," Jitendra Nath Goswami, a leading Indian scientist, said. NASA, which will launch its Maven probe on November 18 to study why Mars lost its atmosphere, is helping ISRO with communications. Clouds of methane have previously been identified by telescopes on Mars, but the gas has never been confirmed by a mission there. India's next ambition is to put a man into orbit. Indian astronauts are tipped to be known as "vyomanauts", a term that derives from the Sanskrit word for the sky.
five years after they sent a probe called Chandrayaan to the moon. The cost of the Mars mission is $73 million, less than a sixth of the amount earmarked for a Mars probe by NASA that will launched later this month. "We didn't believe they'd be able to launch this early," project scientist for the NASA Mars probe, Joe Grebowsky, said. "If it's successful, it's fantastic." Criticism for India's costly space program The cost of the program has brought criticism from some who say a country that struggles to feed its people adequately and where more than half have no toilets should not be paying for space travel. Among them is Dr Ranjana Kumari, a prominent social activist based in New Delhi. "I certainly think where one third of the
population is below poverty line and struggling, almost barely surviving, certainly the priorities have to be more for social programs, for ensuring that everybody gets at least shelter and two square meals a day," he said. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) counters that its technology has helped economic development through satellites that monitor weather and water resources, or enable communication in remote areas. The Bangalore-based organisation and its 16,000 staff also share their rocket technology with the state-run defence body responsible for India's missile program. SV Kotwal, the head of Larsen and Toubro, a company that has played a significant role in the development of the program, said: "The Indian Space Research Organisation has got a huge
New Zealand Police Investigate Claims Of Online 'Rape Club'

New Zealand police are investigating a gang of young males who boasted online about stupefying underage girls with alcohol then having group sex with them. Prime Minister John Key says the claims made by the Auckland-based group are "abhorrent" but difficult to prosecute without hard evidence. "It's just extremely disturbing and disgusting behaviour and these young guys should grow up," he said. "It's very difficult to progress these issues if someone is unwilling to make a complaint and it's a very challenging position for a young woman to put herself in." The group, calling themselves Roast Busters and reportedly mostly aged in their late teens, bragged about using social media to meet girls as young as 13 then have sex with them after plying them with drinks, according to a report by TV3. It said the men named their alleged victims in videos posted on a Facebook page, which was taken down over the weekend after it was the subject of media inquiries. One underage girl told the television station that the group preyed on her after giving her so much alcohol she kept blacking out. "You could say I got raped. I had sex with three guys at one time," she said, her identity obscured. If you need proof that there is something seriously wrong with how rape is talked about and prosecuted, look no further than the revelations about the Roast Busters rape club. Jan Logie Mr Key says his government is introducing cyber-bullying laws that will allow police to prosecute internet users who attempt to sexually humiliate victims online. The change was proposed after research found existing statutes offered inadequate protection from online harassment, which can quickly go viral and have a devastating impact on victims, particularly adolescents. But rights groups say if the claims made by the gang are true, its members should be charged with sexual assault of minors, not just online offences. Greens MP and former sexual abuse counselor Jan Logie says if the Roast Busters amount to a "rape club" then the justice system has to deal with it accordingly. "If you need proof that there is something seriously wrong with how rape is talked about and prosecuted, look no further than the revelations about the Roast Busters rape club," she said. Police say they are taking the issue seriously and have been investigating the gang for almost two years, including monitoring its Facebook page. But they say the case has stalled because victims are too traumatized to give evidence about what they have been through. "We're hoping that somebody will be brave enough to make a complaint to us, formalize it," detective inspector Bruce Scott told Radio New Zealand. "Once one young lady does, well we're hopeful that others will see that she's been brave enough and come forward as well."

Eating eggs for breakfast everyday can reduce hunger and decreases calorie consumption at lunch and throughout the day, according to a study. The study found that men who consumed an egg-based breakfast ate significantly fewer calories when offered an unlimited lunch buffet compared to when they ate a carbohydrate-rich bagel breakfast of equal calories. The study supports previous research which revealed that eating eggs for breakfast as part of a reduced-calorie diet helped overweight dieters lose 65 per cent more weight and feel more energetic than dieters who ate a bagel breakfast of equal calories and volume. There is a growing body of evidence
Eggs For Breakfast Cuts Calorie Consumption

that supports the importance of highquality protein in the diet for overall health and in particular the importance of protein at the breakfast meal. We examined two typical American breakfasts, and the participants selfreported appetite ratings reveal that a protein-rich breakfast helps keep hunger at bay. Starting the day with a high-quality protein breakfast like eggs is a great tool to promote longlasting fullness and reduced calorie consumption. For only 70 calories, eggs are a compact, nutrient-rich source of high-quality protein, and nearly half of an eggs protein, along with many other nutrients, is found in the yolk, so I always encourage eating the whole egg.

Many consumers say they also have questions about what they see on their bills
Are you fed up with your cellphone provider? Do you feel youre being charged too much for roaming? Well, it turns out youre not alone. Most of you are upset about wireless fees, roaming and Internet bandwidth, thats according to the Complaints for Telecommunications Services which says those complaints have more than doubled in the past year. Analyst David Gray says knowing there isnt a lot of competition in the country, companies should go out of their way to satisfy customers, especially loyal ones. Starting to realize there are a lot of us being treated not so well and were going to fight back. Part of the whole consumer ethos right now is were empowered and we dont need to accept whatever is dished out at us. The report also found consumers question what theyre seeing on their bill and are having a hard time understanding how their data use is measured. He adds companies are more focused on dollar signs than happy customers right now. There is a cynicism within the industry that people are going to flip their plans anyway, so we might as well get ever last penny we can. The Tel Co.s have created that culture by virtue of how theyve treated customers. Hes not surprised by the number of people angry with the provider, adding it was a matter of time. Billing errors were again the top complaint.

A former air cadet has run afoul of retailing giant Costco for attempting to sell Remembrance Day poppies in a Langley store. The retailer told war veteran Wayne Hamilton last weekend to stop fundraising on store premises. "They said it just wasn't my day," explains Hamilton. The poppy campaign runs for about two weeks and helps to commemorate the sacrifices Canadian soldiers and peacekeepers have made over the years. It also raises several million dollars for the Royal Canadian Legion to fund veteran and legion programs. Joanne Henderson, poppy fund coordinator at the B.C. Branch of

the Royal Canadian Legion, says the legion is very thankful for the time Costco does give them because the money raised is vital. "It would always be nice to have more time but what we do get is great." Costco did not return repeated calls and emails seeking comment on the Langley situation. Wayne Hamilton says he is not upset, noting that he has been welcomed at the Superstore, where he can fundraise on weekdays and weekends. He says he's just thankful he can continue to help veterans and remember those who suffered and died for Canada. "It's an important thing to remember all those people."
Vancouver Traffic Congestion The Worst In North America: Survey

For the first time ever, Vancouver has surpassed Los Angeles to become the most congested city in North America, according to a new survey. TomTom, a GPS hardware company, released its quarterly traffic congestion index Wednesday -- with a notable change in the rankings. This time around, Vancouver leapfrogged Los Angeles for the dubious distinction of worst traffic on the continent and is the third most congested city in all of the Americas, according to the survey. Tuesday mornings and Thursday evenings are the worst times to drive in peak periods, with drivers spending up to 41 minutes in traffic per hour driven, the survey claims. Another shocking statistic: drivers with a 30 minute commute spend up to 93 hours per year stuck in traffic,
When it comes to measuring the good life, Canada is among the world's top spots for individual well-being, according to report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The others in the top category are Australia, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, the U.S. and Norway. The Paris-based organization does not issue a specific ranking, but OECD officials said the countries in the highest tier scored in the top 20 per cent in all 11 major categories assessed, including income and wealth, employment,
health status, housing, education expectancy and attainment, work-life balance and personal security. Canada scored at or near the top in terms of having a low long-term unemployment rate, health status, housing, education and skills, social connections, personal security (low crime), and in life satisfaction. In terms of self-reported life satisfaction, residents of Switzerland profess to be most satisfied with their lot, while those in Hungary the least. Canadians place eighth among the 36 OECD industrialized nations.
Passengers Injured Following A Fire At A Montreal Airport
according to TomTom. After L.A., San Francisco, Honolulu and Seattle round out the top five most congested cities in North America. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Calgary follow Vancouver as the worst cities in Canada, ranked 7th, 12th, 17th and 25th, respectively. To determine the index, TomTom compares travel times during noncongested periods with travel times in peak rush hours, with the rankings expressed as a percentage increase in travel time. The rankings use GPS data from millions of the companys customers to understand real-life driving patterns by time of day, day of week, time of year and around special events. TomTom says the survey is the most accurate and comprehensive barometer of traffic congestion in major cities all over the world.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has admitted to smoking crack cocaine following revelations police had a video showing him taking the drug. Mr Ford, 44, however denied he was an addict, in comments that marked a stunning turnaround after months of denials of the drug allegations. "Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine," Mr Ford said. "Am I an addict? No. Have I tried it? Probably in one of my drunken stupors." "There have been times when I've been in a drunken stupor. That's why I want to see the tape. "I want everyone in the city to see this tape. I don't even recall there being a tape or video. I want to see the state that I was in." He apologised to "my family, my friends, my colleagues and the people of this great city". But Mr Ford maintained he "wasn't lying" when he previously denied using the drug to reporters. 'You ask the question properly, Ill answer it': Ford "You didn't ask the correct questions," he told reporters.
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Admits To Smoking Crack Cocaine 'Probably In One Of My Drunken Stupors'
Six months ago, the mayor said: "I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an addict." Mr Ford said he believed the incident happened about a year ago but admitted he did not know exactly when he took the drug. The 90-second clip at the centre of the scandal has caused an uproar since its existence was first reported in May, sparking calls for his resignation.
The daily Toronto Star and American gossip website Gawker said they had seen the footage, which reportedly showed a man resembling Mr Ford inhaling from what appeared to be a glass crack pipe. But after Gawker raised more than $200,000 in an online campaign to buy the video, it said it was told by its unnamed source that the video was
"gone". Last Thursday, Toronto police chief Bill Blair said technicians had salvaged the deleted video and other data from a hard drive seized in an extortion investigation surrounding Mr Ford's long-time friend, Sandro Lisi. Mr Ford has since apologised for "mistakes" but had, until his confession, denied the drug allegations and vowed to run for re-election next year. Last weekend Mr Ford apologised for other indiscretions, such as public drunkenness, as well as homophobic and racist comments. He and his lawyer meanwhile have called on police to release the video, but Mr Blair declined, saying it was evidence in a criminal case now before the courts. Police have not revealed details of the mobile phone clip, but say it is consistent with previous descriptions from media organisations that had viewed it. They have also not charged Mr Ford with any offence. Police have said they expect the video will come out when Mr Lisi goes to trial.
Federal Government Wrote Off More Than $4-Billion In Fiscal 2012-13

The federal government wrote off or dismissed more than $4-billion last fiscal year a 38% increase from just two years ago at a time it has been trying to eliminate a deficit estimated at more than $18-billion. Ottawas write-offs, forgiveness and waivers on debts owed to the federal government totalled about $4.3-billion in the 2012-13 fiscal year, up more than $350-million from the previous year, newly released federal public accounts show. Over the past two years, the worth of debts and obligations lost by the federal government from writeoffs, forgiveness, remissions and waivers has risen nearly $1.2-billion (to $4.3-billion in 2012-13 from $3.1-billion in 2010-11). Leading the way in tax-dollar writeoffs and forgiveness is the Canada Revenue Agency, with more than $3.3-billion uncollected from hundreds of thousands of cases of unpaid tax debts due to bankruptcy, failure to find people, and when all avenues of collection have been exhausted. About $3-billion of that total was in direct write-offs. The CRA uses every effort to collect all tax debts from those who do not pay voluntarily. Over time, it is inevitable that some tax balances will not be collected and eventually written off, the CRA said Wednesday in a statement. In 2012-13, the agency resolved $37.3-billion in tax debts through collection, CRA officials say. In the case of write-offs, taxpayers are still obligated to pay their debts, and the CRA can still collect the debt if the taxpayers are located or their financial situation improves in future. Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (now known as Employment and Social Development Canada) was next on the list, with about $528-million in write-offs, forgiveness and waivers. The departments writeoffs in 2012-13 included about $231-million on 44,000 uncollected student loans bringing total student loan write-offs to more than half a billion dollars in two years.
A B.C. elementary school has banned kindergartners from all forms of handson play even tag and holding hands after an apparent epidemic of fighting children. Any and all imaginary fighting games are now punishable by trips to the office and the missing of playtime, according to a notice sent to the parents of kindergarten students at Coghlan Fundamental Elementary School in Aldergrove. Do we expect our kids to be robots? said Julie Chen, the mother of a Coghlan five-year-old and one of the most vocal opponents of the new policy. Theyre five-year-olds you cant stop them from running around and having physical contact. Kids get hurt all the time. What are we going to do next, put them in a bubble to go to school? In a Nov. 1 letter drafted entirely in the Comic Sans typeface school officials announced that, in the last two weeks,
B.C. Kindergarten No-Touch Rule Includes Ban On Hand Holding, Lightsabre Duels
an aggressive spate of hands-on play had wracked Coghlans playground with a number of injuries, impacting the safety of all of the children outside. Of particular concern were Star Wars games apparently, mock light saber duels. Consequently, we have unfortunately had to ban all forms of hands-on play for the immediate future, it reads, noting that kindergartners were now subject to a zero-tolerance policy. The letter ended with a polite appeal for parents to remind their children to keep their hands to themselves and to reinforce other imaginary games that did not involve fighting. On Tuesday, Ken Hoff, a spokesman for Langleys school district #35, emphasized that the letter was not a blanket ban on all forms of physical contact, and that students were still allowed to push each other on swings, help each other up after a fall or even hug on occasion. It is completely about reducing play that is too rough or inappropriate and not at all about non-violent touching, he wrote in an email to the National Post. Furthermore, he said the policy was merely a short-term measure as teachers got a handle on an increasingly violent playground. The measure was temporary and work began today at recess time as teachers worked with children on appropriate play that keeps everyone safe and allows them to have fun, he wrote. On Tuesday, news of the schools alleged no-touching policy brought camera crews from CTV and CBC to the gates of Coghlan Fundamental Elementary School. At recess, the students were kept well back from 256th Street, but waved at photographers as they gathered in the school yard. I dont know how anyone would be against this. Its something we have to do Coghlan Fundamental principal Barb
Dayco referred questions to the school district. School employee Arthur Bourke drove up in his van and was happy to defend the policy. I dont know how anyone would be against this, Mr. Bourke said. Its something we have to do if we dont control it, it will get out of hand. On Tuesday, Mr. Hoff told the National Post that a number of misconceptions about the policy had been allowed to sweep through the community after a small group of parents chose to contact the media as opposed to contacting the school for clarification. Touching bans are not unprecedented at public schools. In a high-profile 2009 case, a Connecticut middle school banned all forms of physical touching, consensual or not, after a student was hospitalized after being kicked in the groin. In 2012, a spate of injuries at an Australian primary school prompted administrators to similarly ban all contact, including high fives.

Tips for Getting Kids to Drink More Milk
Milk is one of the most nutritious choices that kids can make at home or at school. It's a natural, nutrient-packed food that is a "good" or "excellent" source of nine essential nutrients that growing children need for good health and strong bones. Here are some easy tips to follow to ensure your kids get the three servings of milk they need each day. 1. Serve milk ice-cold, the way kids like it, between 35-40 degrees F. Pour it right before serving and promptly return the container to the refrigerator so the milk maintains its fresh taste. 2. Be a role model. When children see you drink milk, they are more likely to drink it, too. 3. Serve milk at meals. Set expectations ahead of time that milk is the beverage of choice at meal times. 4. Serve flavored milk. Kids love it, and ounce for ounce it has the same
nutrients as unflavored milk. 5. Stock the fridge with single-serve containers of white and flavored milk for grab n go. 6. Serve milk in special glasses and with a straw. Let older kids use mix-ins to create a new milk flavor. 7. Let children use a straw to drink the milk left in the bowl after finishing their cereal. 8. Order low-fat flavored milk in kid-friendly, single-serve containers instead of soda when eating out. 9. Remind children to drink milk with School Lunch. Studies show that when children drink milk at lunch, they have higher intakes of several critical nutrients, including calcium, zinc and vitamin A. 10. Send milk money and have children buy milk when they take their lunch to school.

Researchers have said that people who are suffering from diabetes should also get their eye check-ups done regularly. Diabetic eye disease is the leading cause of vision loss among workingage adults. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common form of this disease, and affects people with diabetes age 40 and older. That's more than 7 million people, and the number is expected to reach more than 11 million by the year 2030. The condition can creep up quietly. It gradually weakens small blood vessels in and around the retina, the lightsensing layer of tissue at the back of the eye. If the disease progresses, these vessels may rupture and leak blood into the eye; they can also spread and grow on the surface of the retina and

Aerobic Exercise Boosts Memory In Persons Suffering From MS

A new study has provided evidence for beneficial effects of aerobic exercise on brain and memory in people afflicted with multiple sclerosis (MS). Hippocampal atrophy seen in MS is linked to the memory deficits that affect approximately 50 percent of individuals with MS. Despite the prevalence of this disabling symptom, there are no effective pharmacological or behavioral treatments. Dr. Victoria Leavitt, research scientist in Neuropsychology and Neuroscience Research at Kessler Foundation said that aerobic exercise may be the first effective treatment for MS patients with memory problems. She said that moreover, aerobic exercise has the advantages of being readily available, low cost, self-administered, and lacking in side effects. The study's participants were two MS patients with memory deficits who were randomized to non-aerobic (stretching) and aerobic (stationary cycling) conditions. Baseline and follow-up measurements were recorded before and after the treatment protocol of 30-minute exercise sessions 3 times per week for 3 months. Data were collected by high-resolution MRI (neuroanatomical volumes), fMRI (functional connectivity), and memory assessment. Aerobic exercise resulted in a 16.5 percent increase in hippocampal volume, a 53.7 percent increase in memory, and increased hippocampal resting-state functional connectivity. Non-aerobic exercise resulted in minimal change in hippocampal volume and no changes in memory or functional connectivity.
cause scarring. Typically, diabetic retinopathy has no symptoms until it reaches an advanced stage. But the disease can be detected early through a comprehensive dilated eye exam. In this procedure, an eye professional will put drops in your eye to dilate (widen) the pupil, which allows a closer look at the retina. The good news is that with early detection, timely treatment, and appropriate follow-up, the risk of severe vision loss from diabetic retinopathy can be reduced by 95 percent. There are several effective treatment options including laser surgery and injections of anti-VEGF drugs. These drugs block the actions of a protein that can cause abnormal blood vessels to grow and leak fluid.
Moderate Exercise Not Only Treats Depression But Also Prevents Disease
Physical activity is largely recognized as an effective tool to treat depression, but a new study has revealed that moderate exercise can actually prevent episodes of depression in the long term. George Mammen, who was supervised by Professor Guy Faulkner, a co-author of the review, analyzed over 26 years' worth of research findings to discover that even low levels of physical activity (walking and gardening for 20-30 minutes a day) can ward off depression in people of all age groups. The findings come at a time when mental health experts want to expand their approach beyond treating depression with costly prescription medication. Mammen acknowledges that other factors influence a person's likelihood of experiencing depression, including their genetic makeup.
Do You Know The Warning Signs Of Skin Cancer?

Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers, but it's also the easiest to cure if diagnosed and treated early. We take a look at the warning signs of skin cancer. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends monthly self-examinations plus a yearly skin exam with a doctor to look for the following signs: 1. A skin growth that increases in size and appears pearly, translucent, tan, brown, black, or multicolored. 2. A mole, birthmark, beauty mark, or any brown spot that changes color, increases in size or thickness, changes in texture, is irregular in outline or is bigger than 6 millimeters. 3. Any mole, birthmark, beauty mark, or any brown spot that appears after the age of 21. 4. A spot or sore that continues to itch, hurt, crust, scab, erode, or bleed. 5. An open sore that does not heal within three weeks.
Carrots Tipped As New Sperm Superfood

A new study has found that eating orange and yellow fruits and vegetables may make sperm swim faster. According to researchers at Harvard University's School of Public Health, eating red vegetables may increase the production of healthy sperm, as reported. Carrots in particular were singled out for their sperm-boosting properties. These orange veggies, along with lettuce and spinach, are high in betacarotene. Researchers found that this antioxidant improves sperm motility, or its ability to swim toward an egg, by 6.5 percent to 8 percent. Lutein, a carotenoid or antioxidant also found in spinach and lettuce, had a similar effect on sperm motility, researchers said.

Shatrughan Sinha Addresses The United Nation For The Third Time

He's articulate, wellread, suave and known all over the world.` Shatrughan Sinha says his differences with the Big B are a thing of the past. `We go back a long way. There were creative conflicts when we shot together for Kala Patthar and Dostana. And whatever differences happened has been washed away with time. I remember while shooting for Bombay To Go where Amitabh was the hero for the first time and I the villain he accidentally hit my nose and it started bleeding. Amitabh got so disturbed at the sight of blood, believe me, I forgot my pain and started consoling and reassuring him. He's a fine human being.` Shatrughan Sinha is also currently shooting for his comeback film WohAadmi Bahot Kuch Jaanta Hai where he has a lot of powerful dialogues to deliver. Says the actor, Ì was always known for my my dialogue delivery. And now when people tell me my daughter Sonakshi speaks her lines well I feel very happy and proud.`
Javed Jaffrey, who was last seen in the satire War Chhod Na Yaar, has bagged yet another film but this time as a singer. The versatile actor who has experimented with varied genres from comedy to negative roles is a well known choreographer but rapping is something we haven't seen the actor doing often. For the upcoming Sunny Leone starrer Jackpot, Javed Jaffrey will be rapping a song which is a new quirky take on corruption titled Eggjacktly. The lyrics of the song which go something like, 'Foreign scam, Coalgate, cricket ho
ya tail, Big shot jhol karo and take the bail' aims at portraying corruption that exists in different sections of the Indian society. Coincidentally, Javed has been associated with that term 'Eggjacktly' since Salaam Namaste days and the makers are planning to cash on that popularity. Javed has also sung the superhit rap song 'Mum-Bhai' for Kaizad Gustad's last release Boom. Jackpot, directed by Kaizad Gustad, also stars veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, Sachiin Joshi and is slated to release on December 13.

Ranbir Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor and the entire family were seen united at Prithvi studios It has been a while since Shashi Kapoor stepped out of his home and graced his establishment, Prithvi Theatre. But when he recently did, it was a warm moment to cherish. The event was to bring Prithvi back in action with the inauguration of the Prithvi Theatre Festival. The whos who of the theatre industry came to celebrate the fest and all eyes were on one Kapoor. No, it wasnt Ranbir who got luckybut his grand uncle Shashi! The veteran actordirector was present with nephews Rishi and Randhir to honour a longstanding family tradition. Ranbir, who came trotting behind his parents like a
little kid, managed to stay for a 10-15 minutes but did not forget to seek his grand uncles blessings. Ranbir expressed, Shashi dadaji, Kunal uncle and Sanjana aunty have been taking care of Prithvi. I now realise the value of theatre and what Prithvi has done for the theatre culture. Meanwhile, Rishi and Neetu enjoyed dinner and conversation with friends and family members, including Ramesh and Kiran Sippy, and Randhir Kapoor at the famous Prithvi Cafe on the premises. Kunal Kapoor, the host of this grand party, along with daughter Shaira, made sure that each guest was well taken care of. Great to see Bollywoods first family of Kapoors all under one roof!
King Khan aka Shah Rukh Khan is in no mood to get back to sets immediately after celebrating his 48th birthday and wants to chill around, before starting with 'Happy New Year.' The actor has been spending quality time with wife Gauri, kids - Aryan Suhana and AbRam in Mumbai. The superstar has now bought a new machine to get perfect abs. Tweeting a picture of the gadget, Shah Rukh said he would love to get back his abs soon. Shah Rukh Khan, who was last seen at Bachchans' Diwali bash, along with wife Gauri and sister, also wants to ride a bike and indulge in some eating Italian cuisine.

The party was thrown by veteran producer and director of small screen Ekta Kapoor. Both Akshay and Shilpa came at the party with their spouses. Akshay was accompanied by Twinkle Khanna while Shilpa was accompanied by Raj Kundra.

It was Shilpa who took the initiative and went to greet Twinkle who was sitting with Karan Johars mother Hiroo Johar. Both the ladies exchanged pleasant conversation and enquired the welfare of each others kids. Even Akshay was seen striking a conversation with Raj. Raj promised him to send him a copy of his newly published book. The book is titled How Not To Make Money.

Studios Offer Crores For Salman Khan's 'Jai Ho' Superstar Salman Khan's next film A source close to Salman Khan said,
'Jai Ho' has become so much sought after that top studios are willing to pay crores for the rights of the movie. There is talk doing the rounds that Eros International has acquired rights of 'Jai Ho' for Rs 110 crore. Disney-UTV, Eros International and Viacom 18 are in negotiations to acquire the rights of Salman Khan's upcoming film 'Jai Ho' but the amount offered has yet been not disclosed.
At the RRajkumar music launch held recently, the director Prabhu Deva and the actors Sonakshi Sinha and Shahid Kapoor had a gala time. They interacted with the media and gave snippets of information about the movie. It was a great experience amazing to work with Shahid. He is energetic and a good actor. I would like to work with him again whenever he is free. I hope the film does good as we worked very hard for it, said Prabhu Deva, who previously made similar action entertainers like Rowdy Rathore and
Wanted. Having worked with Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar previously, Prabhu Deva said working with Shahid was easy and he said Shahid is a good dancer. Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha were at their playful best at the music launch and Sonakshi pretended to strangle Shahid. The movie was initially titled Rambo Rajkumar but was later renamed R Rajkumar due to some legal issues. It stars Sonu Sood in a negative role and it releases on December 6.
Ìt's much more than Rs110 crore. We haven't put a finger on the final sum, but it'd be closer to Rs 180 crore or more. The deal has not been closed yet.` Director Sohail Khan has appealed to the media not to under-estimate his production. Apart from Salman Khan, it stars Tabu, Danny Denzongpa and Ashmit Patel among others. The movie is expected to hit screens on January 21, 2014.

The rice is very good. It is fluffy with very long grain. This rice does not stick together in clumps. I am diabetic and this has a very low glycemic level than white rice or brown rice. If you eat it by itself, it tends to raise your glucose a little higher than if you eat this with fat or protein. It does not affect my blood sugar in a negative way if eaten as a meal. Very easy to prepare and tastes great. This is an independant review by person who actuallyis diabetic and has eaten this rice

The Right Way To Cleanse Your Face
Tips For Perfect Skin

Radiant and flawless skin is what every woman wants. And here are some new skincare tips to get a beautiful complexion. It's known that drinking eight glasses of water a day, using SPF, and having a solid cleansing routine are essential, but the Association of Professional Hair and Makeup Artists reveals their top five tips for radiant skin. Here are five tips that you may not have known about: 1) Flip your pillow case: When you sleep, you drool, perspire and sometimes sweat. This goes directly onto your pillow case and sheets, so it's a must to keep your pillow clean. To keep it clean, every two weeks you should vacuum it with a turbo brush. Then wash it on hot (or follow care instructions), shake the pillow out and let dry naturally in sunlight. This regular cleaning will help reduce the bacteria, and nasties in the pillow. During the week, between washing the sheets, turn your pillowcase inside out and upside down, so that you are getting the side that your face hasn't been touching. You will be able to notice that this makes a difference in getting clearer skin. 2) Steam up your shower: Going to the spa for a facial is one of the best things you can do for your skin. No matter what type of skin you have, steam is one of the spa's secret tricks while giving you a facial. It opens your pores, and the gentle heat brings blood to the surface of your skin, which helps it naturally repair itself. When you're going to take a shower, turn the temperature hotter than normal, and shut the door for a few minutes. This allows the steam to build up. Once it has a good amount of steam, you have created your own steam room. Take your shower as normal, and over time, your skin will start glowing like never before. 3) Wash your face for longer: You know you should brush your teeth for two minutes, so give the same kind of attention to your skin. When you wash your face, do it for at least two minutes. This allows the cleanser to really do its job, and get into your pores. 4) Don't touch your face: You touch your face more than you know. The National Health Institute of Bethesda found that people touched common objects an average of 3.3 times per hour and their faces 3.6 times per hour. If you get bacteria on your hands and then touch your face... the bacteria is now on your face. And bacteria causes imperfections. Touching your face is a harder thing to stop doing than you think, as it happens naturally. How often do you move your hair out of your face? How often do your rub your eyes, or hold your hand up to your face when you sneeze? But the pro tip here is to make a concerted effort to not touch your face and use anti-bacterial gel or wipes to kill all the nasties. 5) Keep your hair clean, and out of your face: Your hair, especially if you have fringe, can lead to spots. The natural oils in your hair can build up and then transfer onto your face. If you use products on your hair, this can also lead to imperfections. You're not going to change your hairstyle or stop using products. So the solution is two-fold. First, when you're at home, push your hair behind your ears, get your fringe off your forehead, and ponytails are your new best friend. The second is to use products on your hair that will be better for your skin, especially like organic, natural products, as these tend to be gentler on your skin.
The Shree Sharda Ramayan Mandli held a special Terukkuttu (South Indian dance) a week last Sunday to mark the 2013 Diwali celebrations. The event was held at the TISI Sangam Mandir in Delta. A huge number of devotees turned out for the occasion. Diwali is the most joyous occasions in the Hindu calendar where they celebrate the triumph of good over evil. It is a time when followers put aside

differences, join together and indulge in merry-making. The (SRM) Mandli has been very much involved with community. President Babu Reddy said this year's Diwali celebrations began last Sunday with Ramayan in the morning and followed by evening prayers performed at homes and temples. Diwali is celebrated in remembrance of the return of Lord Rama after a fourteen year exile.

Whitecaps' Darren Mattocks Rips Team, Former Coach

Vancouver Whitecaps forward Darren Mattocks sounded off about his disappointing second season in Major League Soccer on Jamaican television this week, ripping the club and recently fired head coach Martin Rennie. The 23-year-old scored just three times in 20 appearances, including eight starts, in 2013 after a rookie campaign that saw him record seven goals in 21 games. Mattocks helped Vancouver make the post-season in 2012, but the Whitecaps missed the playoffs this season, leading to Rennie's dismissal last week. Speaking on the program "Football GPS" on Tuesday, Mattocks criticized Rennie's handling of both himself and the squad. "When [I was] leading the team, as a rookie, Vancouver made the playoffs," said Mattocks, who started 15 games in 2012 and scored in the Whitecaps' playoff loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy. "My second season, coach put me on the bench [the] majority of the season. [He and I] couldn't agree." Mattocks also said that teams from England were interested in his services, but that the Whitecaps refused to entertain the idea of selling the forward. The Jamaican international added that the club also turned down a US$1.2-million offer for him from another team in MLS. make comments or sometimes look in games like he's disinterested. We know those are all things that come with Darren, but he's got a special ability so until we decide differently we're going to try to work to bring out the best in him," said Lenarduzzi, before adding: "And at the same time have him appreciate that he can't be doing what he's just done." Lenarduzzi said the club discussed a potential training stint in England for Mattocks last season, but added that no club offered to buy the second overall draft pick in 2012. He also said that no MLS team offered $1.2 million for Mattocks, but agreed that he has fielded calls. "There's interest for a lot of our players from other MLS clubs," said Lenarduzzi. "So I wouldn't suggest that he's alone in that regard."

The workshop was made possible through support from FIFA and will see acting England womens head coach and England U-23 womens head coach Brent Hills and English FA coach educator and player development consultant John Allpress bring their expertise to the region. OFC womens development officer Nicola Demaine says it is fantastic to be able to call on the experience coaches like Hills and Allpress to help develop womens football in Oceania.

All of the participants are youth national team coaches from U-15 to U-20 with the workshop aimed at teaching them about preparing a team for, and managing a team at, tournaments. Hills background has seen him coaching at clubs ranging from Millwall and Watford to Fulham.
