Third Phalke for the Kapoor family

hashi Kapoor — an actor par excellence, the man who brought Hollywood and Hindi cinema closer, a director who was always affable on the sets and yet a stickler for discipline. Tributes flowed for the veteran actor-filmmaker, who received the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke award from Union Information and Broadcasting Minster Arun Jaitley at the Prithvi Theatre here on Sunday. Ill-health had prevented Kapoor from attending the official ceremony in Delhi. Applause filled the Prithvi Theatre when the 77-year-old actor came to the dais on with children Sanjana and Kunal. Fellow actors, including nephew Rishi Kapoor and superstar Amitabh Bachchan, shared their memories. The Union Minister led the gathering in showering tributes on the thespian who began as a child artist in the 1940s. “Shashi Kapoor is undoubtedly a versatile personality Indian cinema has ever produced,” said Mr. Jaitley. Mr. Rishi Kapoor said his uncle was the third in the Kapoor clan to receive the Phalke award after Prithvi Raj Kapoor and Raj Kapoor. This prompted Mr. Jaitley to quip: “The way the family is producing talent, I am sure this is not the last one.”

hether it’s a neighbour who volunteers at the local soup kitchen or the person you always see helping out at the hockey arena, we all know someone filled with genuine goodness who makes a difference in our community. A recent study commissioned by Post Foods Canada Inc shows that currently 90 per cent of Canadians think it’s important to give back, and over half volunteer their time, with almost 60 per cent doing this at least once a week or more. “Volunteers are vital to the social fabric of communities across this country and their tireless efforts have a significant positive impact on facilities, services, organizations and, most importantly, people,” says Amy Bernstein, the Senior Product Manager of Shreddies & Shredded Wheat, at Post Foods Canada Inc. “It’s wonderful to see data that confirms just how filled with genuine goodness our fellow Canadians are. Almost half of those surveyed have been giving their time for at least five years.” The survey also sheds light on what motivates people to make their communities better places in which to live. Impressively, the data reveals that we feel it’s important to volunteer because helping others is the right thing to do (68 per cent) and it makes us feel good about ourselves (45 per cent). Goodness is exemplified in our nation’s attitude of selflessness. “There are so many ways you can contribute to your community,” says Greg Epp from Saskatoon, who was recognized by Post Shreddies “Search for Goodness” in 2013 for his selfless commitment to his community hockey rink. “Every community, no matter how big or small, needs the support of people who care. I do it because it helps me feel connected to my community.” Like Greg, many spoke about community when they were asked about volunteering, and stated that they volunteer due to a strong sense of community (53 per cent), a belief in the organizations’ goals and objectives (58 per cent), and that helping those in need is the right thing to do (49 per cent). Volunteerism is an important aspect in building a strong community and society, and Canadians are in agreement with this (91 per cent). But it’s not just the community that benefits. When we do good, we feel good, and this holds true with almost everyone. Almost 80 per cent believe genuine goodness is strongly associated with those who volunteer, and over 90 per cent feel a sense of pride and goodness after they have donated their time for a cause. Do you know someone who goes above and beyond for their community? If you do, this is your opportunity to recognize the good they do by nominating them in this year’s Post Shreddies “Search for Goodness,” a national search for people who spread genuine goodness. More information is available online at searchforgoodness.ca. The winning story will be told in a Shreddies’ ad, and a donation will be made to the winner’s charity of choice. (NC)

controversy

Metro Vancouver

may 2015 | web www.saentertainment.ca | facebook /saet_ca | twitter @saet.ca

Here’s why Salman Khan is controversy’s favourite child in Bollywood Salman Khan may be a hero in reel life, but his many controversies in real life have seen him being tagged a ‘bad boy’. Salman in hit-and-run case An allegedly drunk Salman Khan reportedly rammed his car into the American Express Cleaners at Bandra, running over four people and killing one in the process. His bodyguard, Ravindra Patil, had said at the time, “I can’t drive, it was Salman.” Salman’s lawyers claim he was neither driving nor drunk. The homicide charges against Salman were dropped after Ravindra died in 2007. On December 2013, the court ordered a fresh trial on the ground that witnesses had not been examined in the context of aggravated charge of culpable homicide, which was invoked against Salman midway through the case. Blackbuck poaching case Actors Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam are accused of poaching two blackbucks in the intervening night of October 1 and 2, 1998 in Kankani village near Jodhpur during the shooting of the film ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’. Pushed Aishwarya on sets A drunk Salman Khan stormed the sets of ‘Kuch Naa Kaho’ in January 2002 and had a massive fight with Aishwarya Rai. The unit got involved when Salman allegedly pushed Aishwarya. He banged her parked car on the way out and was interrogated the week after. Abused Vivek Oberoi In 2003, Bollywood star Vivek Oberoi held a press conference and announced that angry that Vivek was romantically involved with Aishwarya Rai, Salman Khan had abused him and threatened to kill him. Threw Katrina Kaif’s Shampoo? Earlier in 2009, reports broke out over how Salman Khan threw Katrina Kaif’s shampoo bottle and belongings out of his home, during an argument with her. There have been several rumours that the two are drifting further and further apart.

Fight with SRK Salman and Shah Rukh Khan were involved in a fight at Salman’s then girlfriend Katrina Kaif’s birthday party in 2008. The two stars didn’t speak to each and were engaged in a cold war for many years. They made peace last year. Fatwa for Ganeshotsav In 2008, some religious organisations issued a fatwa against Salman for celebrating Ganeshotsav at his residence. Courting politicians Salman Khan drew criticism for meeting then Narendra Modi during the kite festival in Gujarat in the run up to the Lok Sabha polls. Some organistaions even asked people to boycott his film ‘Jai Ho’. He was slammed for performing at Uttar Pradesh CM Akhilesh Yadav’s Saifai Mahotsav at the village of Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav while neglecting the riot victims at Muzaffarpur. His donation of Rs 25 lakh to the JN Medical College though calmed some groups. 26/11 attacks comments Salman Khan faced flak for making statements in an interview to a Pakistani channel that the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks were hyped because ‘elite people’ were targeted. Campaigning for Rajapakse Tamil groups and many Sri Lankans criticised Salman Khan for campaigning for Mahinda Rajapakse for the SL presidential elections. The Bollywood star thus became the first Indian actor to be roped in for a poll campaign in Sri Lanka. Slapping fans and bodyguards Salman Khan is infamous for his temper and has lost his cool time and again. He has slapped his fans for intruding into his privacy and slapped his bodyguard for misbehaving with his fans.

He once slapped one of his bodyguards, who mistakenly hit a fan while protecting the star. While shooting for ‘Jai Ho’, a photographer had irked him by clicking his photos. Salman had immediately asked his brother to take the camera and delete all the photos taken on the film’s sets. In 2013, Salman, who was travelling in a car at the time, had rolled down his window, taken a fan’s phone and thrown it away for taking his pictures. The same year, he had abused reporter for asking him questions about Ranbir Kapoor and his ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif’s vacation pictures that leaked online. Threatening fisherman Bollywood star Salman Khan landed in the thick of another controversy when a Mumbai fisherman’s family alleged that he had threatened them. The fisherman had alleged that Khan and his bodyguards asked them to shift their boats and fishing nets, since these blocked the sea view from the Bollywood star’s Bandra West suburban residence. FIR for assaulting activist A member of one Akhil Bhartiya Bhrashtachar Nirmulan Samiti alleged in April 2015 that Salman Khan and his bodyguards abused and assaulted him on a flight in November last year, and the latter also snatched his papers. A Mumbai court asked the Airport police to file an FIR against Salman for assaulting the activist.

Crummy couture

The stars were bright and shining as they stepped out in daring outfits at the Met Gala, only to get majorly dissed on the web RIA LAWRENCE

ria.lawrence@mid-day.com

WITH the who’s who from the music, television and film industry descending the stairs to attend the Met Gala, there was bound to be a ruthless fight for paparazzi attention. The Met Gala, formally known as the costume institute gala, has always been known for bringing together the Alisters galore, in their best fashion choices. And of course, this year

didn’t disappoint, but what the event will probably be known for is it’s risqué fashion, which had the internet so interested, that it nearly broke under the weight of all the memes and jokes. We give you a lowdown of the dresses that will probably be remembered for being the hot pot of dowdiness and raising up the weirdness meter.

Yellow trail Not one for playing by the rules and an old red carpet favourite, Rihanna turned up in a yellow embroidered fur-trimmed cape by Gui Pei over a pink dress that was hardly visible and a trail that

went as far as the sun. She was also wearing a headgear set that was just as striking as her dress. Needless to say, the Internet had a field day with all the pizza and omelette memes and jokes.

Katy Perry

Sarah Jessica Parker

Justin Bieber

Spray can clutch

Dragon flair

The singer made an entrance with a graffiti print dress and a spray can for a clutch bag along with a new pixie hair cut and loud make up. What perhaps made it even more awkward was when the queen of pop, Madonna, herself rocked the red carpet in a similar looking dress, but got more than just a nod of approval from fashion aficionados. The singer usually gets it right, but alas!

The Biebs always knows how to make news...and not always for the right reasons! The Baby hitmaker turned up in a tuxedo with a gold dragon embroidered velvet jacket and glares. If the theme was ‘gangster’, he would’ve probably nailed the look. Unfortunately it wasn’t even remotely close to the actual theme that was China: Through the Looking Glass.

Flaming headdress The Sex and the City star doesn’t shy away from going all out with her bizarre fashion. This time round she took over the red carpet in a huge, red flaming headgear and a black dress that she designed herself. Such was the buzz around her odd headpiece that the Internet couldn’t resist making some ‘Hail Satan’ jokes.

Anne Hathaway

Space-o-rama Not particularly a red carpet favourite, Hathaway didn’t disappoint this year either. She turned up in a dusty gold, hooded dress with wrinkles all over, which didn’t particularly flatter her svelte frame, and a ear cuff . The dress seemed to remind Internet buffs of a certain Star Wars character and also drew comparisons to a Jedi knight.

‘No-tie’ affair Unlike his gorgeous bride, who wowed at the Met Gala with a bright crimson John Galliano gown, Clooney failed to impress with his slightly disorderly look at the red carpet. Dressed in a classy black Armani tuxedo,

Girl loses 6 kilos after touching feet of elders in a recent marriage function

-year old Sakshi Kohli was shocked when she checked her weight after a long gap of one week. She had reduced from (weight removed on request) to (weight removed on same request), which is six kilos, in just a week. We met a visibly happy Sakshi at her home. She sounded excited, “This is unbelievable. I’m so excited. I lost 6 kilos in just a week, without hitting the gym and without a strict diet. I was eating heavily during the recent marriage. But when I came home and checked my weight after a long time, I was shocked to see the digits being displayed in my digital weight machine. I then nagged my room mates to look upon their weight and was later conLets fake it - Column by: vinced that the machine is fine. Avee J Waseer www.fb.com/BusySingh That gave me an additional shock that I had lost my weight in such a small time gap.” She continued, “It was then I tried to recollect the previous week happenings. I didn’t do anything exceptional to lose weight. But in the marriage function where I went two days back to my hometown near Jalandhar. I met a long list of my relatives. I bent down and touched all the elders in my family to

get their blessings. There were around 225 elders in my extended and extrapolated family. So, it was 225 repetitions of ‘bent down toe touch’. Sometimes, I had to touch both elderly couples feet at the same bend. That made me do some ’50 reps of alternate toe touch’. “And during Baraat, I did some usual dance steps, that every girl had to do.” She enacted the dance steps before us, which involved fixing a bulb, trying to paint a wall, hip twist and more similar dance steps. “See! All these dance steps made my hip one inch lesser and my arms more stronger. I’m so happy now! I’m going to crash every wedding happening in the city and get more such blessings. By that, I can reach size zero in another two months.”

car sales manager from New Westminster has entered the Guinness Book of World Records for a fantastic achievement of consulting his wife two hundred and fifty two times in a single grocery shopping session. Prafool Sanuchand is a used car sales manager at a local car dealer who got married recently and was reportedly in the process of setting up his home in a city apartment. His wife had given him a meter long slip containing a total of 250 items to be purchased. As soon as Prafool entered a nearby supermarket, the saga of “call, confirm and add to cart” started. Prafool was a bad planner and a strong advocate of “Take it as it comes”, which made him call his wife every time he was about to pick up an item from the rack, instead of discussing all items at once. Being a manager at the dealership, he was asked million questions and doubts over the dealing of each car. This is being attributed as one of the main reasons why Prafool had so many queries to be clarified as he continued to purchase groceries. While Prafool was shopping, a Spamway agent was reportedly stalking him with an intention of

the big story

may 2015 | web www.saentertainment.ca | facebook /saet_ca | twitter @saet.ca

Looking through Mahatma’s glasses If the 20th century belonged to the Congress, Modi eyes the 21st for the BJP. And to shape that pan-India dream, the saffron party looks at Gandhi’s model that worked for the grand old party

n June 9, 2013, soon after he was appointed the BJP’s election campaign committee chairman for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Narendra Modi addressed party workers and spelled out the catchphrase that would be his mantra in the run-up to the polls, and even after a grand victory: “A Congress-mukt Bharat is the solution to all problems facing the country.” An India free of Congress, Modi said, and almost delivered it a year later. Irony then that it is the same Congress, though from a different era, that Modi’s BJP now seems to be emulating to become the new pan-India national party, replacing India’s original national party. At the party’s first National Executive under Prime Minister Modi on April 3-4 in Bengaluru, the BJP appeared to continue its walk towards embracing the Congress of yore-the Congress under Mahatma Gandhi. Having relegated the grand old party to a poor second slot in vote share-its 172 million votes versus the Congress’s 107 million in the General Election-the BJP now aims to be where the Congress has been all these years: in every ward of every city and town, and in each village of each taluka. And to achieve that, the party is taking lessons from what the Indian National Congress did when it spread its wings in the run-up to Independence. EASE THE ENTRY BARRIER In 1920, five years before the RSS came into being, a Congress session was held in Nagpur and the party which was spearheading the Non-Cooperation

Movement decided to penetrate deep into India’s villages by easing its entry barrier. The Congress slashed the membership fee to four annas (25 paise) to let the poor, especially the non-urban, join in and help erase its image of a clique of Englisheducated urban elites. Nearly 95 years on, the stage was set for another party to take wings and spread itself soon after Modi took oath as the prime minister on May 26, 2014. Addressing the party’s National Council meet at the Capital’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in August, BJP President Amit Shah put that ambition into words: “For long, the Congress’s ideology has been predominant in India’s politicsâ€¦ Now the time has come to spread our ideology and to leave an imprint on the nation’s politics.” Like the Congress did after the Nagpur session, the BJP began that journey by easing the entry barrier. It made membership free, and got mobile technology to its advantage. Prime Minister Modi began the membership drive on November 1 last year by dialling a tollfree number. And by the time the BJP marked its 35th foundation day on April 6, it claimed to have received more than 160 million ‘missed’ calls and registered about 95 million members. That’s up from less than 35 million members last year. Initially scheduled until March 31, the drive has been extended by a month as the party hopes to enlist 100 million members by then. But BJP leaders say this is just the beginning. Modi and Shah’s aim is

taking the party to virtually every village, a feat matched only by the Congress in its heyday. “As a convenor of the membership drive I have visited 19 states but the BJP president will have visited every state of the country by the end of April to take stock of enrolment and guide the process,” party Vice-President Dinesh Sharma says. STRIKE THE RIGHT CHORD In February 1922, as the euphoria over the Non-Cooperation Movement began to recede after he suddenly called it off, Mahatma Gandhi hit upon a unique idea to endear Congress to the masses. He exhorted Congress workers to engage with the people, especially the marginalised and the underprivileged, and get involved in nonpartisan constructive programmes such as spinning khadi, promoting Hindu-Muslim unity, fighting untouchability and working among people from tribal and lower-caste communities, among others. Likewise, Modi began with a call to make India free of open defecation last August, during his first Independence Day address, and launching Swachh Bharat Abhiyan on Gandhi Jayanti. He repeated the call at the Bengaluru National Executive. Shah responded by constituting a committee comprising senior party members such as Prabhat Jha, Purushottam Rupala, J.P. Nadda, Vijay Goel and Makhan Singh to oversee the programme. The Prime Minister has urged BJP leaders and workers to be involved in other socially constructive programmes such as freeing India of manual scavenging, gender sensitisation and cleaning rivers. The trusted lieutenant in Shah responded to the call by setting up separate committees to oversee these tasks. Following Modi’s efforts at fighting female foeticide and championing education for girls, Shah announced the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (save girls, educate girls) campaign and asked party cadres to ensure its implementation. Modi has also stressed the need for clean rivers, particularly the Ganga. The PM is believed to have highlighted that the party can organise campaigns to clean the river that passes through nearly 6,000 villages and more than 1,800 towns. While Modi spoke of environmental benefits of the programme, it is also seen as an effort to shore up the party in the politically crucial Hindi heartland states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, which go to the polls later this year and in 2017 respectively. CHARTING NEW YET KNOWN COURSE Apparently taking it up from where the Congress left, Modi, according to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, said in Bengaluru that the party should mark Deendayal Upadhyaya’s birth centenary to work for the welfare of the poor-in keeping with the Jan Sangh leader’s philosophy of Antyodaya, which talks about the welfare of even the last person in society. If Gandhi’s talisman guided the Congress’s efforts to widen its reach, the BJP has got the wherewithal to popularise Upadhyaya’s talisman of

Antyodaya. Party leaders have been asked to work towards eradicating manual scavenging, prompting Shah to urge the cadres to reach out to nearly 2.3 million households employed in manual scavenging and ensure their rehabilitation. “These activities, which go beyond politics to social reform campaigns, will show BJP as a party with a difference,” Union minister Prakash Javadekar said quoting Shah. The BJP, party spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi says, is not only a political party but also an ideological movement. These socially constructive activities may look out of place in political activism but Gandhi too had demonstrated their efficacy in connecting the freedom struggle with the masses. These programmes will help the party connect better with the people, and help it fortify its position across India, Trivedi justifies. To be sure, it’s not exactly an all-new idea. The saffron leadership has always believed that one huge factor that allowed the Congress to remain in popular imagination even post-Independence was due to its projection as the party that got India freedom. And the second is the perception that the Congress has, since its formation, worked for social good. But this is the first time that the saffron party is putting those ideas and aspirations into words. In a “Congress-mukt India”, it seems a Modi-led BJP seeks to chart a route similar to that of the Congress under the Mahatma. For a party known for its organisational structure, its leader and his closest aide have given an insight into how these elaborate socio-cultural and political ideals would be put into action.

2015

BMW X3

ong ago in 2003 that BMW founded the new mid-size Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) segment with the launch of the X3. That means the BMW X3 has been a paragon of sporty dynamics, premium ambience and robust agility, coupled with low fuel consumption and emissions, for over 10 years now - racking up sales figures of more than one million units in the process. The second generation of the successful BMW X3 has made a compelling case for itself since its introduction in 2010, boasting the best interior and boot measurements and the greatest versatility in its class. And now the new BMW X3 (fuel consumption combined: 8.3-4.7 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 193-124 g/km) is set to build relentless on its segment leadership. A pair of new-generation diesel engines, producing more power but once again burning less fuel, serve to improve dynamic performance and reduce pollutant emissions. The exterior and interior design of the new BMW X3 reveal stylistic changes and also add further depth to the car’s practicality with detail solutions responding to customer requirements. The new BMW X3 cuts a visually more powerful figure with its new, modified twin circular headlights (LED headlights are optional), a more eye-catching kidney grille, new front and rear bumpers, and exterior mirComplied by: rors with integrated turn Gagan Shergill signal indicators - shining www.fb.com/shergilluminati an even brighter spotlight on signature BMW X model design features. A high level of perceived quality and exclusivity also defines the interior of the new BMW X3. Chrome applications, a centre console with optional automatic climate control system in highgloss black-panel look, and new cup holders with a sliding cover for the centre console underline the car’s premium appearance. New exterior colors, upholstery designs, interior trim strips and light-alloy wheels enable even more refined individualization. The new xLine equipment package, meanwhile, allows owners to lend greater emphasis still to the dynamic and

robust SAV character of the BMW X3. And the Smart Opener for the automatic tailgate and storage package (both optional) further enhance the already impressive functionality of the BMW X3. The new BMW X3 advances the company’s commitment to the link-up of driver, vehicle and outside world, an area in which BMW is an undisputed leader. Among the outstanding new features from BMW Connected Drive on board the BMW X3 are the iDrive Controller with integrated touchpad (for text input using finger movements), Parking Assistant, the full-color BMW Head-Up Display, the anti-dazzle High Beam Assistant and Driving Assistant Plus, including Lane Departure Warning, Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function and preventive pedestrian protection. The design language of the new BMW X3 underlines the leading role it has traditionally occupied in the mid-size Sports Activity Vehicle segment. Taking its cue from its former counterpart, the new BMW X3 blends exclusivity and dynamic appeal and couples it with impressive versatility. The new model is immediately identifiable as a member of the successful BMW X family and cuts an even more impressive figure on the road. Its design showcases an SAV that will carry out everyday tasks with skillful ease and do so while delivering unbeatable driving pleasure. The new X3 leads the way in its segment in terms of both interior spaciousness and rear load capacity (5501,600 liters). The interior is a compelling proposition with its carefully selected, exquisite materials. Understated chrome applications, the centre console with optional automatic climate control system in high-gloss black-panel look, and wood paneling with pearl-effect

chrome highlights contribute further to the high-quality surroundings. Adding the final touches to the premium ambience are new cup holders in the centre console with a sliding cover and the standard-fitted leather steering wheel. Customers can also choose from four new upholstery colors and four new interior trim strips. The new BMW X3 sees BMW Connected Drive providing further evidence of its groundbreaking role in the link-up of the driver, car and outside world. Among the outstanding new features from BMW Connected Drive on board the new BMW X3 is the latest, enhanced-capability generation of the Navigation system Professional, complete with ECO PRO route guidance and an iDrive Controller with integrated touchpad. The 2015 BMW X3 remains an ideal size -- bigger than the cramped X1 but not as bulky as the more popular X5. The revised X3’s changes will help keep the crossover feeling fresh for a couple years, but we’ll have to get behind the wheel to see whether it could finally unseat the Lexus RX as the luxury crossover best-seller.

40 years of the BMW 3 Series

he BMW 3 Series can look back over an extraordinary career path. Among the key milestones along the way have been its success in pioneering a new category of vehicle, establishing itself as the embodiment of driving pleasure in its segment and becoming the world’s top-selling premium

efficiency, safety, comfort and connectivity, as well as to the development of BMW design. Again and again, the introduction of trailblazing technological innovations in the BMW 3 Series has also broken new ground in the mid-size class in general. Moreover, for four decades now the BMW 3 Series has led the way with new vehicle concepts that have expanded the brand’s model line-up and injected fresh ideas into the segment as a whole. The underlying character of the BMW 3 Series endures from generation to generation, complemented by the addition of new technological advances. Its design has likewise been shaped by a characteristic BMW sense of continuity and evolution. Indeed, throughout the model range’s history, its striking front end with twin circular headlights and familiar BMW kidney grille, the dynamic lines of the car’s flanks and the powerful rear end have always been quick to catch the eye. As for the interior, the unmistakable driver-focused cockpit design already established itself as a key element in the first model generation. The 3 Series’ exceptional run of victories in race competition has also contributed to the car’s status as a byword for sports performance. From the success notched up by the original BMW M3, its enviable record has continued all the way to victory in the German Touring Car Masters (DTM) race series in 2014.

car. The model range was launched 40 years ago to replace the already legendary BMW 02, and is now set to enter its sixth generation. Today, as in 1975, purchasing a BMW 3 Series represents an expression of joy in sporty, agile handling, enthusiasm for innovative technology and appreciation of premium quality. First unveiled at the 1975 International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, the BMW 3 Series has since developed into both the brand’s most successful model range and an international bestseller. And that makes the 3 Series a highly effective global ambassador for BMW’s core attributes. Its history is testament to the advances achieved by the German carmaker in the areas of sporting ability,

Prepare Your Car for a Summer Road Trip

ou’ve got all the landmarks plotted on the map, the tablet loaded with movies for the kids and a cooler of snacks, but have you thought about the most important part of any summer road trip? Making sure your car is ready for your epic journey will give you peace of mind and ensure you don’t get stranded at the World’s Largest Ball of Dental Floss. Check the Tires: Inspect the pressure in your tires to make sure they are fully inflated to get the best fuel economy while you’re clocking all those kilometres, and be sure to look for uneven tread that could be indicative of wheel misalignment. Don’t forget that spare in case of emergencies, even if it takes up valuable lawn chair space. Check the Fluids: Just as we need H2O to survive, your car needs all of its fluids. Fill up your power steering, brake and transmission fluid, plus engine oil, antifreeze/coolant and of course, windshield washer fluid because the insects, mud and bird droppings you will encounter along the way don’t make for the nicest view. Check the Temperature: If you’ve ever had the air conditioner stop working on a hot summer day, you know how uncomfortable it can be, never mind with a car full of people. Have it pressure checked before your trip and whenever you get into a hot car, open up the windows for a few minutes to take some pressure off the A/C. Use the windows to cool down as often as possible to improve fuel

economy, unless you’re going over 80km since the aerodynamic drag from the windows will use more fuel than the A/C. Check the Belts: Now that you’ve made sure you and your passengers will stay cool, make sure everything under the hood will too. Hot summers can wreak havoc on a vehicle’s belts and hoses. Inspect them and look for any cracks, more than a slight flex when tugged and hoses that are too soft when squeezed. Check the Brakes: Checking the brake system before taking off is a vital step. Inspect the area for battery corrosion, make sure the connection is tight and test your brakes to see if they feel smooth. Check the Tunes: Audio entertainment is a quintessential part of any road trip and getting your car set up ahead of time will make it easy to enjoy during those long hours on the road. If you don’t already have a SiriusXM satellite radio subscription, investigate the free trial that is offered on most new and pre-owned vehicles at www.siriusxm.ca. You won’t have to worry about losing signal anywhere in North America and the commercial-free music, news, comedy, kids programming and sports means there’s something for everyone in the car. Whether you’re heading out on the open road with your family, friends or a partner, having a safe and trouble-free drive will help make sure all you have to worry about is having a fun and memorable adventure.

3 critical car rental tips you should know

ental cars provide the freedom to hit the road when vacationing outside our home base. Whether it’s a road trip out to the cottage or a short visit out of town, navigating the ins and outs of car rental can be tricky if you’re not prepared. Canadians take millions of trips abroad and without a doubt many of these travelers rent vehicles for their expeditions. In order to be prepared for the wide array of options that car rental agencies offer, it’s necessary to do a little bit of research on your own. “The key is to plan ahead so you can make an informed decision about car rental insurance plans,” says insurance expert Mauro Convertini from Aviva Canada. “There are many choices, so taking time to examine each option is ideal.”

Consider the following next time you are renting a car: • Save on insurance: Getting coverage from the rental agency can cost up to $25 a day for two drivers, but talk to your insurer or broker as your existing policy may cover you on rentals as well. Also speak to your credit card company as some providers will cover you if the rental is made on their card. • Get the best rate: The Internet makes it easy to compare rates. Keep an eye out for discounts and deals. • Bring your own GPS: It can be a very handy tool when driving in unfamiliar areas. If you don’t have one yourself, borrow a GPS from a friend, as car rental agencies can charge up to an extra $12 a day for the convenience. (NC)

Google is starting small, thinking big with ‘Project Fi Google wants the wireless services that connect mobile devices to digital content to be cheaper and more reliable. The reason has as much to do with the pursuit of profit as with trying to make smartphones more useful. More time spent using Google’s dominant search engine or watching videos on its popular YouTube site translates into more opportunities for the company to show its moneymaking ads. Enter “Project Fi,” the Internet company’s recently launched attempt to usher in new ways to keep smartphones online while lowering the cost for streaming video, listening to music, getting directions and searching for information. “Wireless connectivity has become so essential that it’s kind of like our lifeblood,” says Nick Fox, the Google Inc. executive overseeing Project Fi. “This gives us a playground where we can try things out.” In a break from the status quo, Project Fi will cost just $20 for basic service and then only charge for the amount of data consumed over cellular networks that Google is leasing from T-Mobile and Sprint. Most plans charge a flat rate under metered plans that limit customers to a specific amount of data. Google’s service is also promising to automatically switch customers to publicly available Wi-Fi networks to avoid incurring charges for using data on the cellular networks. Here are some key things to know about Project Fi culled from a recent interview with Fox at Google’s Mountain View, California, headquarters. STARTING SMALL, THINKING BIG Although Fox wouldn’t disclose how many customers Project Fi will accept, it’s clearly going to be a relatively small pool of U.S. consumers at the outset. Getting on the wireless service requires a Nexus 6 smartphone, a

model made by Motorola for Google as a showcase for how it would like its services to work with its Android operating system. Nexus 6 owners also need an invitation to subscribe to Project Fi. Google, though, is hoping Project Fi reshapes the market. If some of its technological features work well, Google will implant them into future updates of Android so they are available on the hundreds of millions of other devices running on the software, Fox said. After spending more than two years developing Project Fi, Google is also counting on other wireless carriers copying its ideas, particularly on pricing. “We are focused more on Android where we can have the most influence, but to the extent that the ideas take off and go broader than Project Fi, that’s great for users,” Fox said. Google ultimately just wants people to spend more of their lives online because when that happens, it brings more traffic to its search engine, YouTube and other services such as Gmail and maps. BILLING BY MEGABYTE Google’s pricing system seems the feature most likely to shake up the wireless market. Project Fi only charges subscribers for the precise amount of cellular data used, an approach that Google came up with after its internal studies concluded most people consume less than 2 gigabytes a month yet often pay for much higher limits. The solution: Project Fi subscribers will pay just a penny per megabyte of cellular data. That means 501 megabytes — a little over half a gigabyte — would cost just $5.01 even if a Project Fi user had signed up for a 2 gigabyte monthly plan listed at $20. SEAMLESS WI-FI Google knows a lot about the strength of public WiFi networks because it gathers the information when people connect to it services. Project Fi is relying on

this intelligence to automatically switch its users from a cellular tower to a free Wi-Fi system with a signal strong enough to stream video and music, another effort to save people money This could mean a smartphone will shift to a Wi-Fi network downloading at 10 megabits, even if a T-Mobile or Sprint network is available at 30 megabits, Fox said, because the slower speed is still strong enough for a solid connection. The Wi-Fi switch won’t automatically occur, though, on free networks in businesses and airports that require a user to accept terms of service or perform some manual acknowledgement. In an effort to protect passwords and personal data, Project Fi creates a private transmission channel while its subscribers are using a publicly accessible Wi-Fi system. BRIDGING DEVICES Project Fi will store subscriber phone numbers in Google data centers so that they may be accessed on other devices besides smartphones. That means a Project Fi user will be able to send and receive texts, or make or receive calls, on their personal computers, tablets or even other smartphones besides their own, as long as they logged in. NETWORK JUMPING Project Fi also is promising to automatically decide whether its subscribers are better off on either T-Mobile’s or Sprint’s cell network, no matter where they are. Google developed an identification, or SIM, card that can store 10 different network profiles to make it possible to toggle between networks run by two different carriers.

Top 5 Best Widgets For Android Battery Widget UCCW Reborn

Battery Reborn is just that, a simple battery widget to place on your homescreen so you can see just how much battery power you have left. It’s taken on a stylish Material Design look and features a circular design that can be customized with colors and re-sized to fit any part of your screen.

How Long Widget – Time Counter

UCCW, or Ultimate Custom Clock Widget, is all about customizing your homescreen, from simple to complex designs. You can look for custom pre-made clock or weather widgets, widgets for the battery, or virtually anything, or you can create your own with loads of configuration options. There are even full-on skins with elaborate designs ready to be applied if that’s your thing.

Beautiful Widgets Pro Beautiful Widgets Pro is one of the more long-standing widgets on Android which has been around through almost every major release version. It offers up tons of custom clock widget designs with configurations for showing the weather, the battery, location and of course, the time.

Years in Business

Weather & Clock Widget Android

Weather & Clock Widget takes a more simple approach to showing the time and weather on your homescreen, with more of a focus on the weather and specific weather related details like wind speed, UV index, location, humidity, and actual weather conditions. You can tap on the widget to bring up the app settings and more information about the current weather including the 5-day forecast, and the app UI is styled after Material Design so it looks just as nice as the widget itself.

How Long Widget is all about letting you set a time counter for your homescreen just in case you want to keep track of certain stuff, like how long you’ve been able to go without eating fast food or how long you’ve been champion of your local ping pong league. Just type up your title, set the date and pick a color and font and you’re done.

said. The reason for the split seems as they explained in respective social media posts were busy schedules and global travel that comes with their jobs. “It was much easier to see each other when they were both injured, but now they’re healthy and have to travel so much. It got too hard. But never say never. If there’s a time when their schedules aren’t so insane and they can spend more than three weeks a year in the same place, who knows, they could even rekindle things. There’s a lot of love there,” the pal said. The spilt seems to have affected Woods more. “It is tough. There’s no doubt about that, it is tough,” he said talking about the split during a conference. Even as the couple spilt, betting site Paddy Power has odds on who Woods will date next. Some of the names are — singer Rihanna, tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, actress Cameron Diaz, Lindsay Lohan, Jennifer Lawrence and model Kourtney Kardashian.

Window of Opportunity

Early Orthodontic Consultation & Treatment

t is well noted that prevention is the best medicine. This theory holds true for orthodontics, especially regarding children and braces. Early orthodontic consultations and treatments should be viewed as proactive windows of opportunities that help to ease the discomfort associated with braces. Typically, parents ask, “Do you think my child will need braces and at what age should we go to the orthodontist?” It is my viewpoint that timing is everything and this article will review the importance of early orthodontic consultation. To answer that above question – overall, it is difficult to know for sure if your child will need orthodontic treatment until his or her permanent teeth begin to show. However, trained orthodontists can understand important forecasting clues, evaluate jaw alignment and tooth spacing. When a child is still young – teeth are still developing and the jaws are growing - these factors are huge advantages for us orthodontists. We can guide growth and use it in our favour to correct many of the problems we treat on a daily basis. Did you know that both, the Canadian Association and American Association of Orthodontists suggest the first visit to an orthodontist should be completed by no later

than age seven? To most individuals, this is surprising news. In fact, this guidance might even come as surprising news to your family dentist. You may be wondering what is so significant about the age of seven. Well, the reason is simple – there are certain scenarios that need to be corrected early on in order to prevent major problems in the future, like surgery or extractions. Orthodontic decisions made when your child is seven years old are really planning steps for what teeth will look like when they are 30, 40, or 50 years old. Early treatment is about preventing problems and working with the jaws and permanent teeth, and guiding Written by:

Dr. Vishal Sharma Certified Specialist in Orthodontics

them into position as they develop. Once the mouth is done developing, orthodontic treatment essentially works against existing conditions to fix problems and bring the teeth, jaws and mouth into alignment. In my experience with patient consultations, it is important that parents be cognizant that once growth is done, it is much more difficult to treat problems like overbite, open bite, and crowding. These problems can be prevented if treatment is started at an earlier age. To further cement this concept here are seven quick reasons why early orthodontic consultation and treatment is imperative.

1. Avoid surgery and extractions 2. Easier treatment 3. Shorter treatment 4. Possibly cheaper treatment 5. Complimentary consultations 6. Complimentary regular monitoring 7. No referral necessary The most important bit of wisdom I can provide is that orthodontic treatment decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis. Spotting a subtle problem with jaw growth or emerging teeth early at least gives the option of early treatment. Intervening early may prevent more serious problems from developing and make treatment at a later age shorter and less complicated. In some cases, the orthodontist will be able to get results that may not be possible once the face and jaws are fully developed. If you are worried about costs associated with a consultation – well rest assure, consultations are mostly complimentary. At my office, if a child needs immediate treatment to fix a problem – we work with parents to determine a plan. If treatment can be delayed, we make it a priority to regularly monitor the child’s dental development, growth, and advise when the ideal time for treatment should start. In the long run, this makes the eventual treatment simpler, shorter, and yes – cheaper. I often repeat to parents, “If you had seen me three to four years ago, we wouldn’t need to be talking about extractions or surgery.” This is discouraging since a complimentary consultation is possible and just needs to be proactive. Most parents are not aware that a referral from your dentist is not necessary – parents can directly contact an Orthodontist to schedule an appointment. During the consultation, it’s important to ask your orthodontist, “What would you do if this were your child?” This question usually prompts the most forthcoming answers. Overall, Orthodontists want your child to benefit from their orthodontic treatment just as much as you do. To ensure the best results from orthodontic treatment before treatment even begins, make sure you child comes in for a consultation before the age of seven.

A RAINBOW A DAY KEEPS DOCTOR AWAY

ur parents were Right when they were telling us to eat Vegetables. The Change in Pattern of eating our food has Implications of Enjoying Progress in Science and Choices of food we have especially in Canada. Making Vegetables part of daily meal plan is Cruicial for the whole family and Especially for the children. Spring is around the corner,we will be seeing sun and Rainbow too,but as humans we are part of Nature and can simply apply those external things to our help to build our Inner self our each and every cellular in a happy mode with Rainbow diet. when I say Diet,this is not the diet which some one has to do to watch weight etc,this is crucial for our health and wellbeing physicalty,Mentalty & Spiritually. So let us Explore what this Rainbow is. It is 7 colours which we need to Incorporate on a daily basis in terms of Fruit & Vegetables to get all the Trace elements,Vitamins,Minerals,Fibre and Anti Oxidants. Eating raw Vegetables & fresh fruits is what we have been doing as Human Species for Thousands of Years.Cooking & Processing food is Relatively a Modern Concept.Our body is designed to extract Nutrients from Raw food along with the fibre it has. so Lets start Color wise Red/Bright Pink: Apples, cranberries, cherries, bell peppers, pomegranates, raspberries, tomatoes, strawberries, papayas,

grapefruit, watermelons, and guavas are great sources of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. The nutrients in these foods may also help fight heart disease and some cancers. Orange: Oranges, bell peppers, carrots, pumpkins, peaches, apricots, sweet potatoes, goji (wolfberries), and cantaloupes contain beta-carotene, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. All these choices enhance your immune system. Yellow: Lemons, mangos, corn, pineapples, bananas, yellow bell peppers, and squash contain beta-carotene, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They also contain important immune-enhancing properties. Written by:

Dr. Pargat Singh Bhurji Specialist in Pediatrics

Green: Kale, spinach, dark leafy lettuce, seaweed, avocados, zucchini, brussels sprouts, asparagus, peas, and broccoli contain chlorophyll and carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin, which have antioxidant properties. Many of these green foods also contain vitamins (including folate), minerals (like iron, potassium, and calcium), and fiber. They help prevent cancer (particularly of the lung and colon), reduce the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease, and protect your eyes. Blue: Blueberries, bilberries, black currants, eggplants, and blackberries

contain flavonoids, phytochemicals, and antioxidants as well as a pigment called anthocyanin, currently being studied for its role in protecting the body against harmful carcinogens. These foods also contain fiber, which is helpful in the prevention of colon cancer, and they have antidiabetic properties. Violet/Indigo: Grapes, black beans, black cherries, prunes, raisins, boysenberries, mangosteens, passion fruit, purple cabbage, plums, and flowers from sage, rosemary, and thyme plants contain flavonoids, antioxidants, vitamin D, phytochemicals, and fatty acids (essential to proper brain function). In addition to these foods, white foods (such as onions, garlic, chives, scallions, and leeks) contain allicin, an element that helps fight high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Allicin also increases the body’s ability to fight infections and inhibits the growth of prostate, stomach, and colon cancer cells. Horseradish contains glucosinolate (an anticancer and antibacterial compound), as well as calcium, potassium, and vitamin C. Incorporating these colorful “super foods” into your diet can help you improve or maintain your health. As “whole foods,” they are created by nature so each one is rich in many different nutrients and vitamins. Eating well is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Discover how much fun it is to be good. “Paint your plate” and eat from the rainbow every day! Good Luck & Start being Healthy with a Glowing Rainbow

ARIES

mar 21 - april 20

People can be really irritating sometimes. You and your coworkers, professional colleagues, friends, children, and partners are all getting along just fine. But your neighbors, extended family, and/or local community members are driving you nuts this month. They are bickering and arguing about religion, politics, academia, cultural issues, addictions, corporations, and any number of other topics. You are by nature, a smart person, but you could feel as if you are surrounded by opinionated idiots and/or that know-it-alls are refusing to listen to anything new that differs from their longtime established ideas of what is true. You are an excellent communicator, but even you will have trouble getting your point across to these people.

CANCER

jun 22 - july 23

our partner or rival is finally done complaining about your reputation, boss, leadership style, and/or professional path. But now you are beginning to get upset about these things. Mostly, you are just sick and tired of know-it-alls telling you how to think and feel about political, religious, cultural, legal, academic, and/or media related topics. You are also beginning to tire of the bureaucracy and dramas at work. You can feel the need for a getaway vacation brewing in your soul.

LIBRA

sept 24- oct 22

Issues involving language barriers, employee bigotry, long-distance communications or shipping, work related travel, mandates from the legal department, ineffective training classes, and/or a lack of formal education causing a drop in productivity levels for you and your coworkers. This is a short-term dynamic and soon you will be able to move past it. You might also find that a boss, high profile client, or some other authority figure is paying attention to how well you maneuver your way through these issues and is seeing that you are a valuable and productive member of the team. Next month, you will have even more opportunities to earn the respect and admiration of your colleagues and it will not involve as much drama.

CAPRICORNUS

dec 23 - jan 20

You are working a lot and trying to meet deadlines, but there have been a lot of issues creating delays and drama at work. As you battle these issues and try to get things done and try to get along with your coworkers, one of your partners or rivals is beginning to complain and nag about how something or someone at home is irritating them. They think you should be the one to fix it or they think it is your fault. There probably is not much you can do to resolve any of this, but it is against your nature to ignore it and allow it to just fester. Try to keep from becoming overly controlling and closed-minded while trying to implement your ideas, even if you are probably correct as to what ought to happen next.

TAURUS

april 21 - may 20

Neptune is in the area of your chart that governs your social interactions including those online. When things are going badly, Neptune can bring dysfunction, lies, secrets, mental health issues, and/or bureaucracy into play. This month, a handful of planets are moving through your personal wealth and self-worth sector trying to bless this area of your life. However, Neptune clashes with each of them causing a rift between your finances and your social life. It could be something minor like you just cannot afford to splurge on social events. But it could also be something major like an Internet scam or a financial disagreement involving a team, club, committee, association, friend, etc. The good news is this is a short-term issue and it should not cause long-term repercussions.

LEO

july 24 - aug 23

Last month, you were feeling really extroverted, social, open-minded, and you excelled as a team player. This month, you still want to do and be those things, but people in your social circles are sucking the joy out of your life. They are making it very difficult for you to have any fun, to spend time with your loved ones, and/or for you to experience a little “me time” with your favorite hobbies. They are also creating some financial or romantic trust issues and you should definitely have your guard up within these areas. Things may not be what they seem, so do your homework, do not be gullible and overly trusting.

SCORPIO

oct 23 - nov 22

You and a lover could be dealing with infidelity, trust issues, or differing sexual needs. Joint finances could have the two of you stressed out and unable to really enjoy yourselves. It is also possible that children or pets are causing trust issues (like when they cannot be trusted to be left home alone). If you work in a happiness industry (music, theatre, fine dining, vacations, luxury sales, pet stores, etc.), you could find that revenues are low or you are having a hard time collecting your fair share of the profits. The good news is that you are doing really well at work and your boss and coworkers are appreciative of the genius and enthusiasm that you are bringing into the work environment day after day.

AQUARIUS

jan 21 - feb19

Like most people, you love to have a good time. But this month, your financial goals are clashing with your love life, parenting, hobbies, vacations, playtime activities, wish to splurge, and/or your desire to purchase luxury items. You need to be frugal and find ways to say, “I love you” and ways to entertain yourself without blowing your budget. The good news is that you are beginning to find it a bit easier to succeed at your financial and professional goals, so whatever financial damage you do create while splurging, you will probably be able to fix it in early July.

GEMINI

may 21 - june 21

our brain is the focus on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Anything that stimulates you intellectually gets your undivided attention, but just because you start something doesn’t mean you’re going to finish it. Little tasks are for the little people - and you’re a big shot right now! There’s a weird undercurrent running through the room on the 8th and 9th, but you can’t quite place your finger on why things seem weird. If a friend isn’t going to level with you, then you don’t have much of a shot with strangers. Your entrepreneurial spirit is alive and thriving on the 15th and 16th, and a side business or part-time job has the potential to net you with some hefty profits. Stick with what you know best in order to improve your bottom line, and once again let other people worry about the tiny details.

VIRGO

aug 24 - sept 23

You are quite focused on your professional life this month but your partner or a rival is not too happy about it. Because of Neptune’s involvement, they might be absent when you need them, or more likely they are acting dishonestly, dysfunctional, gullible, secretive, and/or in some way bringing more bureaucracy into the dynamic than what is necessary. They could be trying to smear your good name or they could simply being embarrassing you. Regardless, you are doing a great job, so just stay honest and ethical, and things should turn out in your favor.

SAGITTARIUS

nov 23 - dec 22

Your partner or a competitor is really making your life stressful at this time. They are angry and argumentative towards you but more so towards someone or something in your home or private life. You come to agree with them, but that does not make it any less stressful. Still the two of you have opportunities to diplomatically agree that outside of the home-oriented issue, the two of you are getting along fine. Next month, will be much better. You will have plenty of opportunities to kiss and make up or to at least have some fun together.

PISCES feb 20 - mar 20 You have had some time to evaluate your housing situation, roommates, private life, retirement plans, and/or relationship with your parents. You have decided that things kind of stink and need to be healed, fixed, cleaned up, reorganized, etc. You are able to make a lot of progress in these areas, but they do not come easily and effortlessly. You have to put some serious effort into it. You end up ready to enjoy some playtime but find that once again, your financial goals clash with what you are trying to do. It is not easy to stay focused on one’s financial goals when there is so much fun to be had, but you have your household budget in order so things are not as bad as it might seem.

hen the weekend is about to arrive your mind starts making up how to please your heart in return of the hard you did all week long. Some find their way to pubs, others are party animals while some find shelter to country side and the rest keep their bums stuck to their beds. What we are going to refer is an option that not only soothes your taste buds but also brings rest to your unrest senses urging for an outing to some calming place than a noisy and happening one. As you would have already guessed that we are talking about talk of the town, talk of the taste buds, and yes this time it is MJ Indian Cuisine. It is a unique restaurant serving outstanding North Indian fare. People well versed with Indian taste might be bothering about Stuffed Paranthas, spicy curry dishes and Papad Wadiyan of course. The cuisine breaks away from the herd by offering humble vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. Tag team of Chef Balram ‘Bali’ and Chef Jaiprakash seems to be on inspired eating space opening spree. Their first venture, MJ, a semi-formal dining setting and fun Indian cuisine menu with a heavy South Asian accent and Curry as its signature. The interiors are bright, buzzing and minimal while space is compact yet comfortable. While sitting over there you might be stunned to see that most of the visitors are Whites. To your surprise let me tell you ‘desi dishes’, as goes the lingo are more famous among foreigners than the Indian Diaspora itself. North Indian food may conjure up thoughts of heavy oil-laden dishes, but at MJ, the food has minimal spicWritten by:

es and oil. That means carrying less cholesterol over your belly and even lesser doctoral visits. The place has got everyday specials and Buffet with exotic

North Indian delight that you are pretty much inclined to die for, you just need to pay a single visit and you won’t stop at one. Known for its creative display, unforgettable flavors and steamy flairs in the kitchen MJ is one of its kinds. Celebrity chef Balram started his career from very esteemed and Five Star group of Hotels “Radisson Jalandhar, Punjab from 2001 to 2004. He later went to Germany and tried his hands on. After he gained more to his ever increasing expertise he moved to the beautiful British Columbia, worked with various Banquet Halls & Restaurants as Chef. It was then he made up his mind to venture into same area of learning and is now running his own restaurant in White Rock, serving variety of foods & various choices from Menu and also good old experience he gathered worldwide. MJ is a fun space to satiate your craving for comfort food that not only is less bulky to your pockets but also lovable for your tummy. Service, as is expected of an Indian restaurant, the staff is courteous and well-trained, though not in the same league as their competition. The hospitality stands equivalent to the perception of the warm treatment by the Indians whenever a guest arrives their Home, so it does stands true to the cliché that runs like- Atithi Devo Bhava.” At last what we would like to say is to take your time out, drive your cars in to this place and experience the world of Desi Tadka where you probably might sneeze on the rush of spices to your nostrils but with a minimal amount because 0 tasteless to Indians. Try once; you might take their food as an entity for becoming an adrenaline junkie to next level of adventure. Good luck. The response to their restaurant is really overwhelming, that puts them into a condition for opening another chain of the same level but with enhanced infrastructure, spatial needs, quality equipments and more items on the menu. The place most probably is bound to be Newton.

Destination Wedding Basics:

Know Before You Go

What to Expect at an Indian Wedding

f you’ve been invited to your first Indian wedding, you’re probably curious about what’s going to happen. We enlisted the help of Indian wedding planner Suniti Patel, of Lamhe Bridal Consultants in New Jersey, to get answers to some commonly asked questions about Indian weddings. Q: What should I wear to an Indian wedding ceremony? A: Brighter is better. Don’t be afraid to wear a bold color; that will help you fit in with the Indian guests who’ll be dressed in vibrant colors and eye-catching jewelry. If you don’t have a traditional sari or lengha, don’t worry. A jewel-tone dress with a shawl can mimic the festive look. Q: Is it true that Indian weddings last for several days? What will I be expected to attend? A: A traditional Indian wedding lasts an average of three days. On the first night, a priest will often perform the ganesh pooja, a ceremony that usually happens at home with only the couple, the bridal party, and close relatives in attendance. The second day begins with a mehndi ceremony. For this, the bride and her female friends and family members will have intricate henna patterns drawn on their hands and feet. That evening, the sangeet takes place. Every wedding guest is usually invited, and it involves an introduction of the couple’s families, mingling, a meal, and dances or other performances. On the third day, the main ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place. You may be invited to the last day of the events, or to any part of the three-day celebration. Your invitation should clearly state what you’re being asked to attend. Q: What can I expect to see at an Indian wedding ceremony? A: One of the first things that might surprise Western guests is the baraat, or groom’s procession. For this, the groom arrives to the ceremony on a decorated white horse. Guests dance around him to the beat of the dhol, an Indian drum. After that, the bride and her family greet the groom, and the couple exchanges floral garlands to wear around their necks to symbolize their acceptance of

each other. For the ceremony, the priest, groom, bride, and bride’s parents sit beneath a mandap, a canopy similar to a Jewish huppah. The ceremony starts off with the kanya daan, in which the bride’s parents give away the bride. Then the couple joins hands and circle around a small, enclosed fire (the agni) in a ritual called the mangal phera. Then the couple will take the saptapadi, or seven steps, as they vow to support each other and live happily together. Finally, the groom will apply a red powder to the center of the bride’s forehead and tie a black beaded necklace around her neck, symbolizing that she’s now a married woman. Q: What will the reception be like? A: It’s a crazy party. If you don’t know bhangra, a frenzied Punjab folk dance, expect to pick up the moves fairly easily. But don’t worry if you’re not comfortable learning new dances; you’ll most likely hear contemporary Western music at the reception too. Q: I’m kind of picky when it comes to food. Will there be anything for me to eat at an Indian wedding reception? A: Two of the most common misconceptions about Indian food are that it’s all spicy and it’s all vegetarian. In reality, it depends on which state the couple’s families are from. When served in the US, though, the food tends to be North Indian, meaning you’ll see a spread of naan (a flatbread) with different curries, samosas (savory pastries with spiced meats or vegetables), pakoras (fritters), and a dessert display, which typically includes cake, kulfi (Indian ice cream), and decorated sweets made from nuts. There will often be up to four stations of chefs preparing food for guests. Approach the fare with an open mind -- you may like it more than you expect. Q: Should I bring a gift? A: Couples usually request that there be no boxed gifts at the wedding, so guests usually have gifts shipped to the couple’s home or bring an envelope full of money. - By Justine Lorelle Blanchard

You Call the Shots A destination wedding may be just the way to buck tradition. While formal weddings hold meaning for many couples, others want the experience to be unique, with a ceremony and location that reflect their true colors. Without the restrictions of a traditional wedding in a traditional location, like your hometown or the place where you grew up, you will feel freer to make your own rules. Been obsessed with Cinderella since you were a kid? Have a Walt Disney World wedding and ride away in a horse-drawn carriage. You and yours are avid scuba divers? Marry underwater in the Caribbean. Beyond the Beach Rethink what the phrase “destination wedding” means. Even if you’re not the types to kick off your shoes and marry on a beach with leis around your necks, that doesn’t mean you still can’t have a destination wedding. There are hundreds of country inns in bucolic settings, homegrown seaside and lakefront resorts, and wintry mountainside lodges that can be rented for the weekend. Think about choosing a favorite vacation spot and introducing it to the rest of your family and friends. Family Reunion Factor Inviting everyone you love to one place for several days of fun in the sun can be a good thing: How often do you have the opportunity to spend no-rush quality playtime with dear, far-flung friends and family? But before you plan a faraway affair, ask yourself if your essential friends and family will be up for the trip. Grandma may

not want to fly to Italy for the week. Many couples compromise by hosting a postwedding celebration back home for those who could not attend the actual event. Control Freaks, Beware If you’re hosting a wedding in a distant locale, you will need to entrust at least part of the planning to someone else’s capable hands. An on-location wedding coordinator (many resorts include a coordinator in their wedding packages) can shoulder the burden of researching and securing vendors, arranging airport transportation, and locating all those last-minute things, from dry cleaners to hiking tours, that may come up. Depending on your temperament, this can be a welcome reprieve or a scary proposition. Cash Concerns The affordability of many destination weddings -- especially at a beach resort -- has many couples speeding off to the airport faster than you can say I do. For instance, a couple can fly to an all-inclusive in Jamaica, get married, and stay for a deluxe weeklong honeymoon for as little as $3,000 to $4,000. The Napa Valley and Nantucket won’t be as budget friendly, but the close proximity allows for easier access. Keep in mind you can spend as much or as little as you want on a destination wedding, just as you can at home -- there are no steadfast rules about which is less expensive. But don’t forget to factor in at least a couple of prewedding research trips into your budget, even if the coordinator is doing the bulk of the work for you.

Q. My wife has moved out with my two children aged 20 and 16 .She does not allow me to meet my children. I have differences with her for long. I miss talking to my children. A] Your children are grown up and have a mind of their own. Appeal to her heart gently and request her for an access. Do not put conditions and be very genuine with your needs. Understand her fears and doubts about the same. Bury your differences completely when you negotiate this. Seek the help of family members who can also pitch in. Do not allow this to be a battle of egos or a war of power. If all attempts fail, meet a good lawyer.

NOW, DECODE THE GIVEN NUMBER PATTERNS TO ANSWER ALPHABETS, UNSCRAMBLE AND RE-ARRANGE TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING: “SALT OF A VANADIC ACID” CLUE ANSWER NUMBER PATTERNS: {2},{4},{235},{24},{125},{4},{12},{4}

Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 to 9. Every puzzle has only one correct solution.

Alphameric Equation Puzzle – # 369

Ladder Equation Puzzle – # 369

Solve these 6 alphabet-coded equations – 3 Horizontal (evaluating from left to right); 3 Vertical (evaluating from top to bottom). Each alphabet represents a UNIQUE single-digit number (0 to 9). Thus no two alphabets will have the same number & vice versa! The task is to find all the correct numerical values of the given alphabets, to satisfy all the 6 equations. For an easy start and ready reference, a ‘working template’ is provided below, declaring the numerical value of one, two or none of the ‘valid’ alphabets. Further, any ‘invalid’ alphabet(s) and number(s), which are NOT in the final solution, is also provided for ease in solving.

In this puzzle, a square slotted matrix is provided, made up of two vertical & two horizontal blocks. Each block constitutes a unique arithmetic equation, which is alternately filled with numbers and empty boxes. The task is to place the correct operator [any one of ‘+’, ‘–’, ‘×’, ‘÷’] in the empty boxes to make the equation true. Evaluation of the two vertical block equations is done top to bottom, and for the two horizontal block equations left to right. For each of the 4 equations, all the 4 operators need to be used (each operator only once). Each puzzle has a unique solution.

Q. I hate my in-laws. They are technically ok but are very close to my husband. I do not understand this hate.

A] All of us have a few people whom we cannot stand without reason. Remember intense hate anywhere will interfere with love everywhere. Expose yourself to conversations with them and be aware of the thoughts, feelings and sensations that cross your mind and body. Allow the discomfort to come and go. Slowly you will realize that the distress decreases. In life, one may not like or love their in-laws but what is important is simply respect. This is not out of fear or awe. Ask yourself if you are very possessive about your husband. Do not be a satellite around him and find time to meet your friends also. Both of you need time away from each other and have an independent circle of friends.

Q. I work in an NGO but am not paid very well. I am a qualified engineer but my heart is in social service. My CEO gives me long sermons on simple living but he himself takes a big package and lives a luxurious lifestyle.

A] Live your dreams and work for the betterment of the society if that makes you feel fulfilled. Money is important to live and survive in this world and hence be candid about your needs with the CEO. Many feel guilty while asking for a better salary as they are confused between their needs and the philosophy of social service. ‘Simple living and high thinking’ is a phrase that has fooled our mothers, teachers and many more across centuries. There is no guilt in high living and high thinking. You can ask your most intimate questions to Dr Harish Shetty. Send an email to mindmatters@mid-day.com

Building a better future for our youth one game at a time

n the last 15 years, the rate of violent crime among young people has increased by 30%. From gangland style killings stretching from Vancouver to Toronto, Canadian Cities are struggling with a wave of youth crime that was unimaginable a couple of decades ago. Many experts attribute the spike in youth crime to the increased number of street gangs-often the perpetrators of youth crime. Research indicates that youth seek comfort from those who welcome them and reinforce their sense of belonging. Unfortunately, some youth have no choice to turn to street gangs in order to satisfy their need for approval, belonging and self-worth. There is no consensus among experts on how to reduce youth crime. Crime involvement usually starts before the age of 15, with first time offences declining markedly once young people reach 20 years of age. There is little evidence that punitive sanctions such as incarceration, community service hours, have been effective at reducing juvenile crime. There needs to be a balanced approach to dealing with young offenders. Some may need to be incarcerated, but many more need to be engaged in community programs that builds character, increases self-esteem and develop life skills. Social development programs that provide

youth with positive peer interactions, opportunities to develop problem solving skills and a support adult help reduce the risk factors associated with youth crime. Organized sports being used throughout the world as a dynamic mechanism as engaging youth of all races, genders, and classes. Organized sports programs are not the end all and ball solution to youth crime, however, they can contribute to reducing youth crime by giving young people a positive identity, feelings of empowerment and by helping youth acquire leadership, teamwork and self-governance skills under adult supervision. Although there is limited evidence of a direct causal relationship between youth sport and youth crime reduction, there are several rationales as to why youth sport reduces youth crime: • Keeps young people busy and out of trouble • Meets a need that youth have for excitement • Makes young people feel empowered • Fosters teamwork • Develops self esteem It is on account of these above mentioned factors that I have been running various sports programs on my own time and with my respective law enforcement agency. The bedrock and fundamental principle of all these programs is to establish a rapport with disad-

vantaged youth through the medium of sports. These initiatives provide the youth an opportunity to play in an organized sports tournament with the end goals being; building a bridge between these youth and adults in a constructive manner and providing the youth an opportunity to learn and develop sportsmanship, teamwork and leadership skills. It is for this reason that Arjun Bhullar, the Olympic wrestler, and I have teamed up and formed KidsPlay, in collaboration with Guru Angad Dev Elementary School. The premise will be to run several sports programs throughout 2015 in various sports, providing youth with a positive conduit to express themselves versus engaging in a lifestyle of gangs, drugs and crime. Every couple of months we will hold a new sports program with a community partner in that respective sport. Arjun and I believe that education and sports are two sides of the same coin. Therefore, we will set aside a percentage of the funds we collect to support educational programs. Respectfully, Kalwinder Dosanjh 604 619-1064 Arjan Bhullar 604 725-2701 Kiran Toor 778 320-6540

Everything you need to know about subcontractor management

he construction industry is booming, but that’s causing shortages of skills and holding projects up. Subcontractors provide a solution - but only if your subcontractor management is up to scratch. Now the British Columbian construction industry is picking up speed, the supply of work is causing its own problems, with materials scarce and skilled labour sometimes even scarcer. Metro Vancouver’s biggest contractors are turning down one in three bidding opportunities due to labour shortages. Subcontractors have long played an important role in helping construction companies source the skills they need in a flexible way – the more work, the more subcontractors you can take on to help out. Now, many large companies sub-contract much of their work, but subcontractor management can be a headache when you have multiple subcontractors at once. For instance, you have certain legal obligations you need to meet, including health and safety regulations. The knock-on effect Operationally, using subcontractors may mean certain issues arise. For instance, you are likely to face problems with keeping to timelines - if one subcontractor is late, then it can have a knock-on effect for others. Even in a simple project such as installing a bathroom, if the plumber or the tiler is delayed, the job can over-run substantially. Communication is also an issue when you are commissioning work from people who are not part of your own company. If you don’t have an effective way for subcontractors to feed their progress back to you, it can be hard to keep track of how a project is developing. Maintaining a steady cash flow is also a big challenge - you need to ensure you’re paying for the work done. Subcontractor management requires a relentless focus on project management, coupled with effective processes to keep two-way communications channels constantly open. Keeping track For busy companies with complex projects on the go, subcontractor management can be made immeasurably easier by using the right kind of construction software. For instance, good construction software can help you keep the taxman happy by keeping you in control, and ensuring you can see which tax payments have been made. This kind of system automatically keeps you up to date. Construction software can also help with your subcontractor management by giving visibility of progress on projects by maintaining timely, accurate and reliable data. Effective systems can help you keep track of when payments to subcontractors are due or have been paid. Successful construction companies invest in software systems that ‘join-up’, linking procurement, accounts and other databases – including subcontractor

details - to give them instant access to all the information they need to enable them to make informed decisions and prepare accurate estimates. After so many lean years, we all know it goes against the grain for many construction companies to be turning down chances to bid for work. The well-organised use of subcontractors - supported by ironclad processes and suitable software

- can provide a lucrative and practical solution now and in the future. Remember: • Subcontractors provide a flexible, skilled solution to labour needs but they can cause organisational problems. • Successful construction companies know rigorous project management and communications are crucial to good subcontractor management.

• Investing in good construction software can help you keep track of subcontractors – and keep projects on track.

Boost the value of your home

elling a home can be stressful. Between the constant cleaning and scheduling for countless showings, homeowners also want to make sure they get a fair price for their pride and joy. “Not all sellers have a huge budget to revamp their homes prior to selling,” says Nancy Peterson, the CEO at Homestars. com. “But there are always things that can be done in advance of listing it to increase interest among potential buyers. A few simple changes can make a big difference.” Here are some of Peterson’s ideas to increase the value of your property: • Small Projects: A fresh and neutral coat of paint, basic staging and newly mowed lawn can go a long way. Remove any overly personal items and clutter, so the potential buyers can imagine their own belongings in the home. Also consider adding a few chic updates like crisp new linens, a statement chandelier or sparkling bathroom mirror to make a lasting impression. Whether you do it

yourself or hire a professional, this is a must for any seller. • Medium Projects: With strong demand for open concept living, consider removing any non-structural walls for a more flexible space. Refresh cabinetry with new hardware and tile floors with fresh grout. Outside, work on the curb appeal of your home with any necessary landscaping that you may have been putting off, including sealing your driveway, staining your porch or deck, power washing the exterior and refinishing the front door. • Large Projects: Kitchen and bathrooms offer the best return on investment, so if yours is outdated, it’s time to get an upgrade. Replace old tubs, toilets and sinks in the bathroom and update your kitchen appliances with modern stainless steel options and new countertops. There’s also no better time to switch out any wall-to-wall carpet for a more buyer-friendly laminate or hardwood option. (NC)

PICS moves ahead with plans to build a Long Term Seniors Care Home

rogressive Intercultural Community Services (PICS) CEO Charan Gill is often asked why he is so passionate about building a culturally sensitive long term seniors home. And each time, he has patiently replied, “so that our seniors can spend the last days of their lives speaking a language they understand, eating foods they know and smelling the fragrances they are familiar with.” For the able bodied these may not be the most important things in their lives but for a senior who is battling multiple aging issues, the small pleasures of life go a long way in improving their quality of life. And therefore for the last many years Mr. Gill has been passionately championing the cause of building a culturally sensitive long term care home for seniors in the

community of Surrey. ‘PICS was a trailblazer in conceptualizing and building the first multicultural assisted living facility in Surrey. I was over whelmed by the response that PICS received from the community and government authorities then and I am sure we will be able to

rally the entire community again for this project as well,” said Mr. Gill. PICS recently acquired two acres of land in central Cloverdale for the purpose of building the long term care home. Mr. Gill and senior PICS staff members have already met with officials of BC Housing and Fraser Health who have been extremely receptive to supporting the project. PICS’ proposed Long Term Care Home will be a 125 bed facility fully equipped to care for the elderly who need personalized attention in a setting which is familiar to them. Surrey Memorial Hospital currently houses at least 150 South Asian seniors and this facility when built will not only ease the overcrowding at the hospital but will also save the government at least $1000 per day, per senior. “I am asking the entire community to help us make this project a reality. We need to raise $1 million by December to retain this land and I am appealing to the entire community to contribute” said Gill. “It’s time to give back and

do something for our parents who have spent their entire life caring for us. As they age and deal with multiple health issues, we need to make sure that they are safe, happy and in a place that is familiar to them. But this can only happen if we support this care home,” said Mr. Gill. To raise funds for the long term care home, PICS is planning a fundraising event on Friday May 22, 2015 at Aria Banquet Hall in Surrey. A table of eight is for $1000 and individual tickets cost $150. “Please make this home a reality. It’s time to give back,” said Mr. Gill. Fundraising for the multicultural long term care home will continue beyond the May 22 Gala. If you wish to donate please call 604-596-7722. You can also make a donation at www.pics.bc.ca.

CANADA IMMIGRATION CHANGES AFFECTING FOREIGN WORKERS & STUDENTS ACROSS CANADA

s we know that Canada is a land of immigrants. Canada welcomes almost over 2, 50,000 immigrant s every year from all around the world and immigrants have played key role in developing todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canada. One of the major portions of these immigrants comes in form of foreign workers and foreign students. Foreign worker program is jointly run by Immigration department and ESDC (formerly known as HRSDC) by issuing LMIA (formerly known as LMO) to employers who wish to hire these foreign workers by demonstrating the urgent need for their businesses. Further to this, these foreign workers have access to various immigration programs to their permanent residency once they are in Canada. But the new 4 in-4 out rule that was enacted in 2011 has come into effect starting First of April, 2015 that means thousands of foreign workers who are in Canada Written by: for four years, will now not Jasvir Singh be able to renew their work 604.720.8278 permits even if they still have new valid LMIA. (With some exceptions). This is a big jolt for them who were not aware of such disaster approaching towards them silently. Canada has been a destination of higher study for students across the world and almost over 1,00,000 foreign students come to Canada every year. Eligible students get permanent residency through Canadian

Experience Class and PNP programs being run by different provinces. Recently, British Columbia has put temporary pause

on new application intake till july 2015. With the launch of express entry system, foreign students are facing tough time. So, these few things are recent in Canada immigration with lot of other being rolled up. We hope that the Canadian government will create such paths which will facilitate entry and permanent residence process for those whose skills are most required while at the same time, ensuring Canadians are always at front to get jobs.

100 Year Journey project tells the story of South Asian pioneers

new project funded by the government will help bring the story of how Canadians of South Asian heritage helped build this country into classrooms across Canada. At a reception to launch Asian Heritage Month, the Hon. Jason Kenney, Minister for Multiculturalism and the Hon. Tim Uppal, Minister of State for Multiculturalism, announced that the Government of Canada is providing Inter-Action funding of almost $200,000 for the 100 Year Journey Project, a book chronicling the narratives of 100 South Asian pioneers to Canada. The book tells the stories of some of the first South Asians in Canada, detailing how they provided shelter and support for new immigrants, fought tirelessly for the voting rights of all communities, and spent years away from their loved ones as they set up new lives for themselves and their families. This expansion will allow the 100 Year Journey Project to reprint the book, which was originally published in November 2014, as well as develop and release an electronic edition. The project will also create teaching materials to aid in the presentation of the book and develop a comprehensive website to capture and share more stories.

Survey Reveals The Perfect Lover.

One Word:

Hair

new survey has finally proved it: women like scruff. A dating site polled their 9,127 members in over 22 countries and found that 27 per cent of women said that their perfect man had facial hair while only nine per cent said they enjoyed the clean-shaven look. But that’s not all ladies. The survey also found that the ultimate lover is a Jake-Gyllenhaal type hunk who is “tall, elegantly dressed and the lucky owner of a pair of smouldering eyes”. Get in line ladies. The list continues. Your Prince Charming must be funny, kind and romantic: 62 per cent of women said personality mattered more than looks. For the men on the other hand, a mature personality didn’t rank high on the list. Only 3.9 per cent of dudes said they were looking for that in the perfect lover. But if you’re tall, have long hair and beautiful eyes you’re in luck.

Should I Drink Red Wine? Complied by:

Avee J Waseer

www.fb.com/BusySingh

Wine, especially the red variety, has been studied extensively over many years with impressive findings suggesting it may promote a longer lifespan, protect against certain cancers, improve mental health, and provide benefits to the heart.

his S.A Entertainment article focuses on the health benefits of drinking wine. It includes a brief history of wine, as well as explaining what moderate wine consumption is. At the end of the article there is some1111 information on resveratrol, a compound found in wine and some plants. However, as many more studies have focused on red wine, most of the content and quotes in this article refer to red wine.

Moderate wine consumption: “Moderate” wine consumption is said to be good for the health. But what is “moderate” wine consumption? How much wine you can drink in one sitting before the health benefits turn into dangers depends on many factors, including the person’s size, age, sex, body stature and general state of health, as well as whether it is being consumed with food or on an empty stomach. Women absorb alcohol more rapidly than men because of their lower body water content and different levels of stomach enzymes. Therefore, moderate wine consumption will be a lower amount for women than for men. What are the benefits of drinking wine? Reducing risk of depression We have all heard that drinking a glass of red wine in moderation may be good for our health. But now, researchers have found that drinking wine may also reduce the risk of depression, according to a study. The findings of the study revealed that those who drank moderate amounts of alcohol were less likely to suffer from depression. Additionally, those who drank a moderate amount of wine on a weekly basis (two to seven small glasses a week), were found to have an even lower risk of depression. Preventing colon cancer Scientists from the University of Leicester, UK, reported on Resveratrol and Health that regular, moderate red wine consumption can reduce the rate of bowel tumors by approximately 50%. Anti-aging Researchers from Harvard Medical School reported that red wine has anti-aging properties. Specifically, resveratrol was the compound found to have the beneficial effect. The resveratrol in wine comes from the skins of red grapes. Blueberries, cranberries and nuts

are also sources of resveratrol. Preventing breast cancer Regular consumption of most alcoholic drinks increases the risk of breast cancer. However, red wine intake has the opposite effect. The scientists explained that chemicals in the skins and seeds of red grapes reduce estrogen levels while raising testosterone in premenopausal women which results in a lower risk of developing breast cancer. Preventing dementia A team from Loyola University Medical Center found that moderate red wine intake can reduce the risk of developing dementia. In this study, the researchers gathered and analyzed data from academic papers on red wine since 1977. The studies, which spanned 19 nations, showed a statistically significantly lower risk of dementia among regular, moderate red wine drinkers in 14 countries. The investigators explained that resveratrol reduces the stickiness of blood platelets, which helps keep the blood vessels open and flexible. This helps maintain a good blood supply to the brain. Protecting from severe sunburn Wine and grape derivatives can help reduce the damaging effects of UV (ultraviolet) light, scientists from the University of Barcelona in Spain reported. Preventing blinding diseases Red wine can stop the out-of-control blood vessel growth in the eye that causes blindness. Diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration, which is the leading cause of blindness among North Americans aged 50+ years, are caused by an overgrowth of blood vessels (angiogenesis) in the eye. Damage after stroke Researchers say they have discovered the way in which red wine consumption may protect the brain from damage following a stroke. Professor Sylvain Doré believes that resveratrol in red wine raises levels of heme oxygenase, an enzyme known to protect nerve cells in the brain from damage. When somebody suffers a stroke, the brain is ready to protect itself because of higher enzyme levels. Raising levels of omega-3 fatty acids The study suggests that wine does better than other alcoholic drinks. This effect could be ascribed to compounds other than alcohol itself, representing a key to understand the mechanism lying behind the heart pro-

tection observed in moderate wine drinkers. Omega-3 fatty acids, mainly derived from fish, are considered as protective against coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac death, thus their high blood concentration is definitely good for our health. Preventing liver disease The modest wine consumption, defined as one glass a day, may not only be safe for the liver, but may actually decrease the prevalence of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Protecting from prostate Cancer Researchers have found that men who drink an average of four to seven glasses of red wine per week are only 52% as likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer as those who do not drink red wine. In addition, red wine appears particularly protective against advanced or aggressive cancers. Preventing type 2 diabetes In an animal experiment, scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered that a chemical found in red wine and the skin of red grapes - resveratrol - improved sensitivity to insulin. Insulin resistance is the most important critical factor contributing to type 2 diabetes risk. What is resveratrol? Resveratrol is a compound found in some plants. Plants produce resveratrol to fight off bacteria and fungi. Resveratrol also protects plants from ultraviolet irradiation. Red wine contains more resveratrol than white wine because it is fermented with the skins (white wine is not). Most of the resveratrol in grapes is in the seeds and skin. The following plants and drinks are rich in resveratrol • Red wine • Grapes • Blueberries • Raspberries • Bilberries • Peanuts The health benefits linked to moderate wine consumption are mostly due to the beverage’s resveratrol content.

‘‘

While wine consumption appears to be good for the health, drinking too much can lead to depression, mental health problems, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, stroke, hypertension, fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, several cancers, pancreatitis, and many other chronic diseases.
