7 Tips to Keep Your Pet Comfy This Winter ARE your pets ready for the winter? Do you want to know the best ways to keep your furbabies comfyduring the winter season? Veterinary Nurse, Swastika Singh is passionate about caring for all pets big and small. In this article she will give you some handy tips on looking after your pet during the colder winter months.

1. Get a winter pet coat Although some cat and dog breeds have thick fur to keep them warm, they will still OLNHO\ EHQH¿W IURP DQ DGGLWLRQDO ZLQWHU SHW coat especially when they are outside or on walks. What makes a good pet coat? Has coverage from the neck to the base of the tail Protects the belly area 5LJKW ¿W 1RW UHVWULFWLQJ PRYHPHQW NOTE: Take off your pet’s coat once they are back in heated indoors!

2. Bring them indoors If your fur babies spend most of their outdoors, you may need to keep them inside this season at least at night to sleep or somewhere warm and dry away from the drafts and frost. Choose the best kennel for dogs and enclosures for cats as well as their spot for their housing. Also, make sure their VKHOWHU LV ¿OOHG ZLWK GU\ EODQNHWV WKDW DUH washed regularly.

U -=' ;,'1 #'ħ'8 #'&&-2+ During this season, they may prefer to spend more time snuggled up in their bed. Create a cozy, warm, and safe sleeping environment. Make sure your pet’s bed is away from drafty areas and elevated from cold surfaces. For senior pets, try not to place the bed too

U -=' ;,'1 93đ ;3@9 Staying indoors from the cold weather and the temptation of snuggling more under a warm blanket may kick in boredom or sluggish habits. Keep them moving indoors with soft toys or a ball for exercise.

6. Provide extra care for senior pets The drop in temperature can aggravate joints stiff with arthritis. So, it is important to keep them in a healthy regimen even during the colder season. Make sure your pet’s rest area is warm and comfortable. Dog walks should take no more than 20 minutes a day over even ground. Bring them to the vet for a check-up if they show signs of discomfort such as: • Stiffness • Chewing or licking certain joints 'LI¿FXOW\ ZDONLQJ XS RU GRZQ VWDLUV • Eating slowly • Noticeable behavioural changes

7. Snuggle and cuddle! Snuggle up and stay warm together this winter! Nothing beats lots of cuddles to keep the winter blues at bay. An important warning; before you start the car...

Cats love hiding near warm car engines during cold weather, but the habit can be deadly. I highly recommend that drivers honk their horns or make other noise to encourage any refuge-seekers to scurry away before the car engine is started. Swastika Singh was born and raised in Brisbane.

The message will be reach SHRSOH LQ ¿YH NH\ GLVWULFWV Unnao, Lucknow, Raebareli, Lakhimpur Kheri and Sitapur – using radio, television, print, social media, whatsapp and SMS to provide information on eye health issues, local services and how to access them. The Fred Hollows Foundation Director of Public Affairs Nick Martin said: “The Fred Hollows Foundation is honoured to have Shri Amitabh Bachchan spreading the word on the importance of eye health in India which ranks second in the world for blindness and vision impairment.” In his campaign message, Mr Bachchan said: “Vision problems are extremely

I almost felt like I had failed in some way, I had always had perfect eyesight and now I suddenly I needed glasses! “But then I understood that it was helping me not get worse vision problems, that I was treating the health of my eyes as I would the health of the rest of my body. If you get sick you take the medication prescribed and get well. It is just the same with eyes, but glasses are the medication,” Mr Bachchan said. “And now I love my glasses. I realise now it’s a secret all glasses wearers have, our glasses are cool because they give us the most amazing super power of all, clear sight.” The SEE NOW campaign is funded by The Fred Hollows Foundation and in part by Essilor Vision Foundation, and in partnership with Sightsavers India and Vision2020 India among others.

National Diabetes Week 14-20 July 2019 itsabouttime.org.au 16 — THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, July, 2019

2019 National Diabetes Week The theme for this year’s National Diabetes Week, which runs from 14–20 July is – “It’s about time you took the time”. In National Diabetes Week we’re urging every Queenslander to “take the time” to learn the signs and symptoms of diabetes. Every day almost 300 Australians are diagnosed with diabetes. Unfortunately for many, diabetes is diagnosed too late, which increases the risk of serious life-threatening health issues. Early diagnosis, treatment, ongoing support and management can reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. Diabetes is a serious complex condition in which a person has high blood glucose (sugar) levels. This is either because the body is unable to make any insulin (a hormone made by the pancreas that maintains healthy levels of glucose in the blood), enough insulin, and/or the insulin produced does not work properly.

There are 2 main types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition that occurs when the immune system destroys the cells in the pancreas which produce insulin. Type 1 diabetes is not linked to any lifestyle factors. There is no cure and it cannot be prevented. While type 1 diabetes can occur at any age, it is usually diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood. Type 1 diabetes affects approximately 10% of people with diabetes. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the pancreas cannot make enough insulin and/or the insulin that is being produced does not work properly. Type 2 diabetes is most common among adults over the age of 45 years but increasingly younger people are being diagnosed. Type 2 diabetes may be prevented or delayed by maintaining a healthy weight through healthy eating and regular physical activity. Type 2 diabetes represents around 90% of all people with diabetes.

“IT’S ABOUT TIME YOU TOOK THE TIME” TYPE 1 DIABETES

TYPE 2 DIABETES

Every year hundreds of people end up in hospital because the early signs of type 1 diabetes are missed.

Almost half a million Queenslanders have silent, undiagnosed type 2 diabetes.

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes may occur suddenly and if not detected early, can be life threatening. It’s about time we learn the early warning signs for type 1 diabetes - the four 4 T’s: • Thirsty - really thirsty and unable to quench that thirst? • Toilet - going to the toilet a lot? • Tired - more tired than usual? • Thinner - recently lost weight? If you notice any of these signs, seek medical assistance immediately.

Type 2 diabetes can do serious damage if not diagnosed early. Undiagnosed type 2 diabetes can lead to: • • • •

Blindness Lower limb amputations Kidney damage Heart attack or stroke

The symptoms of type 2 diabetes are similar to those of type 1, however, they occur much slower and are not usually a medical emergency. Often people with type 2 diabetes will have no symptoms at all. Other times symptoms can be mistaken for ‘getting older’ or feeling worn out from having a busy lifestyle: • Increased thirst • Passing urine more often, especially at night • Extreme tiredness • Slow healing of cuts and wounds • Blurred vision

Over 40? It’s time to get checked

DIABETES QUEENSLAND SUPPORTS PEOPLE LIVING WITH DIABETES AS WELL AS THEIR CARERS We deliver 1-2 hour culturally appropriate diabetes education sessions for people living with or at risk of diabetes, free of charge.

head of the School of Computer Science and Engineering, he co-founded the Cooperative Research Centre for Smart Internet Technology, a sevenyear project that linked universities, industry and federal and state governments in the research and development of highend internet technologies. The research expertise that arose from the program has paved the way in areas such as ad hoc networks, DJHQW WHFKQRORJ\ DUWLÂżFLDO intelligence and data mining. Also in the early 2000s, Prof. Sharma co-founded and became inaugural Director of the National ICT Australia (known then as NICTA but now

Taking up his current position at QUT in 2004, Prof. Sharma has focussed on building the university’s research capabilities very successfully. “Our research income has tripled,â€? he revealed, adding, “and we have also increased our research ranking substantially. Particularly satisfying for me has been the expansion of our

research centres in regional areas.� Sharma has been actively involved in Bluebox (QUT’s innovation, venture and investment company), and in corporate research centres in a variety of sectors such as diagnostics, construction innovation and integrated engineering asset management. He has also sat on the boards of a number of institutes, again showing a breadth of interest and expertise – children’s medical research, Gallipoli research, sugar research – and has been on the board of the Adani Abbot Point Terminal ever since they acquired it in 2011. About Adani, Prof.

Sharma noted, “They want to address the energy needs of India. I hope (the project) will go ahead. They are doing their bit for renewable energy too. I think we need to create a balance in how we look at climate change and economic opportunities.�

Sharma’s particular passion for fostering Australia-India links has been long-standing. He served as national chair of the Australia India Business Council (2011-2012) and as President of its Queensland chapter (2005-2011).

How the partition of India happened @ ,!=!ÂĄ @!9S ,1'&!#!&S 2&-!

IN AUGUST, 1947, when, after three hundred years LQ ,QGLD WKH %ULWLVK Âż QDOO\ left, the subcontinent was partitioned into two independent nation states: Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan. Immediately, there began one of the greatest migrations in human history, as millions of Muslims trekked to West and East Pakistan (the latter now known as Bangladesh) while millions of Hindus and Sikhs headed in the opposite direction. Many hundreds of thousands never made it. “Partitionâ€? – the division of British India into the two separate states of India and Pakistan on August 14-15, 1947 – was the “last-minuteâ€? mechanism by which the British were able to secure agreement over how independence would take place. At the time, few people understood what Partition would entail or what its results would be, and the migration on the enormous scale that followed took the vast majority of contemporaries by surprise. The main vehicle for nationalist activity was the Indian National Congress, whose best-known leaders included Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. Even before the 1940s, it had long argued for a unitary state with a strong centre; even though Congress was ostensibly secular in its objectives, organisations representing minority interests increasingly viewed this idea with suspicion, believing that it would entrench the political dominance of Hindus, who made up about 80% of the population. At around 25% of its population, Muslims were British India’s largest religious minority. Under imperial rule, they had grown accustomed to having their minority status

protected by a system of reserved legislative seats and separate electorates. The British system of political control hinged on identifying interest groups willing to collaborate, a governing style often described as “divide and ruleâ€?. The prospect of losing this protection as independence drew closer worried more DQG PRUH 0XVOLPV Âż UVW LQ parts of northern India, and then, after World War II, LQ WKH LQĂ€ XHQWLDO 0XVOLP majority provinces of Bengal and Punjab. In 19456, the All-India Muslim League, led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, won a majority of Muslim votes in provincial elections. This strengthened the party’s claim to speak for a substantial proportion of, but never all, the subcontinent’s Muslims. Then came World War II – and suddenly, the political stakes in India were considerably higher. When Britain took India into the war without consultation in 1939, Congress strongly opposed it; large nationalist protests ensued, culminating in the 1942 Quit India movement, a mass movement against British rule. For their part in it, Gandhi and Nehru and thousands of Congress workers were imprisoned until 1945. Meanwhile, the British wartime need for local allies gave the Muslim League an opening to offer its cooperation in exchange for future political safeguards. In March 1940, the Muslim League’s “Pakistanâ€? resolution called for the creation of “separate statesâ€? – plural, not singular – to accommodate Indian Muslims, whom it argued were a separate “nationâ€?. After the Second World War, Britain simply no longer had the resources with which to control its greatest imperial asset, and its exit from India was messy, hasty, and clumsily improvised.

20 — THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, July, 2019

From the vantage point of the retreating colonizers, however, it was in one way fairly successful. Whereas British rule in India had long been marked by violent revolts and brutal suppressions, the British Army was able to march out of the country with EDUHO\ D VKRW Âż UHG DQG only seven casualties. Equally unexpected was the ferocity of the ensuing bloodbath. An act of parliament proposed June 1948 as the deadline for the transfer of power. But the Mission failed to secure agreement over its proposed constitutional scheme, which recommended a loose federation; the idea was rejected by both Congress and the Muslim League, which vowed to agitate for “Pakistanâ€? by any means possible. All the while, communal violence was escalating. In August 1946, the Great Calcutta Killing left some 4,000 people dead and a further 100,000 homeless. By March 1947, viceroy, Lord Mountbatten, arrived in Delhi with a mandate WR Âż QG D VSHHG\ ZD\ of bringing the British Raj to an end. On June 3, he announced that independence would be brought forward to August that year, presenting politicians with an ultimatum that gave them little alternative but to agree to the creation of two separate states. Pakistan – its eastern and western wings separated by around 1,800 kilometres of Indian territory – celebrated independence on August 14, 1947; India did so the following day. The new borders, which split the key provinces of the Punjab and Bengal LQ WZR ZHUH RIÂż FLDOO\ approved on August 17. 1947. They had been drawn up by a Boundary Commission, led by British lawyer C. Radcliffe, who later admitted that he had relied on out-of-date maps

and census data. At the center of the debates lies the personality of Jinnah, the man most responsible for the creation of Pakistan. In Indiannationalist accounts, he appears as the villain of the story; for Pakistanis, he is the Father of the Nation. As French points out, “Neither side seems especially keen to claim him as a real human being, the Pakistanis restricting him to an appearance on banknotes in demure Islamic costume.â€? One of the virtues of Hajari’s new history is its more balanced portrait of Jinnah. He was certainly a tough, determined negotiator and a chilly personality; the Congress Party politician Sarojini Naidu joked that she needed to put on a fur coat in his presence. Yet Jinnah was in many ways a surprising architect for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. A staunch secularist, he drank whiskey, rarely went to a mosque, and was clean-shaven and stylish, favoring beautifully cut Savile Row suits and VLON WLHV 6LJQLÂż FDQWO\ he chose to marry a nonMuslim woman, the glamorous daughter of a Parsi businessman. She was famous for her revealing saris and for once bringing her husband ham sandwiches on voting day. But Jinnah felt eclipsed by the rise of Gandhi and Nehru, after the First World War. In December, 1920, he was booed off a Congress Party stage when he insisted on calling his rival “Mr. Gandhiâ€? rather than referring to him by his spiritual title, Mahatma—

Great Soul. Throughout the nineteen-twenties and thirties, the mutual dislike grew, and by 1940 Jinnah had steered the Muslim League toward demanding a separate homeland for the Muslim minority of South Asia. This was a position that he had previously opposed, and, according to Hajari, he privately “reassured skeptical colleagues that Partition was only a bargaining chip.â€? Even after his demands for the creation of Pakistan were met, he insisted that his new country would guarantee freedom of religious expression. In August, LQ KLV Âż UVW DGGUHVV WR the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan, he said, “You may belong to any religion, or caste, or creed—that has nothing to do with the business of the State.â€? But it was too late: by the time the speech was delivered, violence between Hindus and Muslims had spiralled beyond anyone’s ability to control it. Hindus and Muslims had begun to turn on each other during the chaos unleashed by the Second World War. In 1942, as the Japanese seized Singapore and Rangoon and advanced rapidly through Burma toward India, the Congress Party began a campaign of civil disobedience, the Quit India Movement, and its leaders, including Gandhi and Nehru, were arrested. While they were in prison, Jinnah, who had billed himself as a loyal ally of the British, consolidated opinion behind him as the best protection of Muslim interests against Hindu dominance.

By the time the war was over and the Congress Party leaders were released, Nehru thought that Jinnah represented “an obvious example of the utter lack of the civilised mind,â€? and Gandhi was calling him a “maniacâ€? and “an evil genius.â€? From that point on, violence on the streets between Hindus and Muslims began to escalate. People moved away from, or were forced out of, mixed neighborhoods and took refuge in increasingly polarized ghettos. Tensions were often heightened by local and regional political leaders. H. S. Suhrawardy, the ruthless Muslim League Chief Minister of Bengal, made incendiary speeches in Calcutta, provoking rioters against his own Hindu populace and writing in a newspaper that “bloodshed and disorder are not necessarily evil in themselves, if resorted to for a noble cause.â€? On the evening of August 14, 1947, in the Viceroy’s House in New Delhi, Mountbatten and his wife settled down to watch a Bob Hope movie, “My Favorite Brunette.â€? A short distance away, at the bottom of Raisina Hill, in India’s Constituent Assembly, Nehru rose to his feet to make his most famous speech. “Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny,â€? he declaimed. “At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom.â€? It is well past time that the heirs to Nehru and Jinnah Âż QDOO\ SXW ÂśV IXULHV WR rest. In a sense, 1947 has yet to come to an end.

THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, July, 2019 — 21

His Holiness Shivkrupanand Swami HIS Holiness Shree Shivkrupanand Swami (Swamiji), founder of Samarpan Meditation, is a Living Saint of the 21st century, a pioneer of Samarpan Meditation technique. Having fully merged with the Divine Consciousness, He descended to the society from the Himalayan Mountains with a pure wish to make us experience and connect with Universal Consciousness.

regularly came to Him. One was of the Pashupatinath temple in Nepal, the second was of a tall fair-haired ascetic and the third was of a little temple set on a small hill. Swamiji lived a normal life, completed a Masters degree in Business Studies and began to work as a marketing manager for a large company in Calcutta. Then one day His work took him to the North of India where an unexpected bank strike interrupted His business activities. So He decided to IXOÂż O +LV ORQJ KHOG GHVLUH WR visit Kathmandu. The following day after His arrival, He went to the Pashupatinath Temple. As He arrived He was met by an elderly man who approached him, addressed Him by name, and said that he had been sent to meet him by his Guru and had been waiting for Him for the past three days. Swamiji

Born into a Brahmin family in India, Swamiji displayed a curiosity about the existence and nature of Consciousness or God from His early childhood. Questioning the followers of the numerous religions, which he saw around him, He sought to NQRZ DQG Âż QG WKLV NQRZOHGJH This search continued throughout his early life and in His meditation, three visions

was amazed at this because He had only just decided to travel to Nepal on ‘the spur of the moment’. He went with the man on a journey until they reach a small village in the mountains. On arriving at the village he was told to sit on a large stone and wait and at sunset a tall fair-haired ascetic came out of a nearby cave and approached Him. This ascetic was known as Shivbaba. Swamiji was amazed as this was the person that He had been seeing each day in His meditation. He describes Shivbaba as being very tall and thin, of a fair complexion and with piercing blue eyes that He could not look into for long. Taking Swamiji into the cave, Shivbaba vibrated some water and poured it into Swamiji’s hands to drink. He then sprinkled some water on Swamiji’s head and put his hand on his head. As soon as he drunk the water, Swamiji

22 — THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, July, 2019

went into a meditative trance for three days. When He awoke the Guru told him that he had been waiting for him for 40 years and that whilst in trance Shivbaba had transferred all of His knowledge to Him. Shivbaba was 96 years of age and went on to say that as he had completed his mission in passing on his knowledge and power to Swamiji, he could now leave this life. The next day the Guru died and after the funeral, Swamiji returned home and continued his life as before. He got married and had children. After 10 years, another holy person, a Mahatma, came to His house and told Him that it was time for Him to begin His spiritual journey. Seeking the permission of Swamiji’s wife, He then took Swamiji away to the Himalayas. Over a period of many years, Swamiji was passed from one Guru to another receiving from each what they had to teach and their power. There in the Himalayas, Swamiji meditated with Gurus, Siddha Yogis, Rishis, Munis, Kaiwalya Kumbhak Yogis, Buddhist monks and Saints, and with the High Gurus that exist there who communicate not with language but by vibration through meditation, beyond the need for language. There in the Himalayas, He found the full knowledge and enlightenment. Having reached enlightenment and merging fully with Universal Consciousness, yet remaining in the physical body, Swamiji chose not to isolate himself from the society as many beings who reach that level do. Instead He has come back into the society as ‘a pipe’, a channel, a means through which anyone who chooses can experience and connect with Universal Consciousness. After descending from the Himalayan mountains in 1998, Swamiji started teaching the values of meditation to common people so that they too could achieve the bliss that he had experienced. Within a very short period of time, the values of Samarpan Meditation have spread not only to many

villages, cities and provinces in India but also to foreign countries like Australia, England, Canada, Germany, South Africa, U.S.A, Singapore and Japan. People have made regular meditation a part of their lives, regardless of their religion or race and have been enjoying the Divine experience.

!1!86!2 '&-;!ࣅ 32 Samarpan Meditation is a simple way of meditation which connects us with Universal Consciousness. It is beyond the realm of religion and is practiced by people around the world. Samarpan Meditation is taught by His Holiness Shivkrupanand Swami. Samarpan means surrender (of negativity, of the ego and of thoughts of the past and the future) so that we may experience connection with the divine. When we surrender everything, forget our physical existence and identify ourselves as a pure soul, the mind becomes still, there are no thoughts and we are in a thoughtless state. Thoughtless state is a beginning point of meditation. Meditation is an inward journey, journey from gross to the subtle. It is not possible to connect with the Divine as long as we identify ourselves as a body (with thoughts, emotions and perceptions at the surface of mind). We have to realise ourselves as a pure soul to get connected to the Universal Consciousness. Meditation means to forget our physical existence completely and become one with the Universal Consciousness. At such a time we experience the pure joy as universal energy VWDUWV À RZLQJ ZLWKLQ -XVW DV ZRUGV DUH LQVXI¿ FLHQW WR GHVFULEH WKH VFHQWV RI À RZHUV in the same way the experience of this eternal joy cannot be expressed through words. Samarpan Meditation is a practice which unites us with Universal Energy. With a pure wish you will experience the awakening of Kundalini Energy, the part of divine that is in each one of us. Then connecting

our awakened divine energy within with Universal Divine Consciousness, we experience divinity and the process of inner transformation begins. Samarpan Meditation is a path of experience, meditate and experience an internal transformation.

Aura of a Saint

The Nepal Tourism Board has nominated and then appointed Swamiji as the Tourism Goodwill Ambassador for ‘Visit Nepal Year 2020’. Swamiji was felicitated on 6th June 2019, by the Prime Minister of Nepal, Mr. K.P. Sharma Oli, at the inaugural function of the Himalayan Travel Mart, 2019 in Kathmandu, Nepal. On 7th June, 2019 20 speakers made their presentations at the HTM 2019 and Swamiji’s session was the last one which started at 6pm and was attended by approximately 250 delegates from 42 countries. Swamiji spoke about his spiritual journey in the Himalayas and his search for God. Sharing his personal experiences, he explained that Yogasanas were just one part of Ashtang Yog DQG GHDOW ZLWK RQO\ Âż WQHVV RI the physical body. Complete yoga is connecting to Universal Consciousness through meditation. He explained the concept of the Values of Samarpan Meditation and then led the delegates in a short meditation session followed by a question and answer session.

Just as we have a physical body, in the same way, we also have a subtle body or energy body otherwise known as ‘Aura’ which is made up of our thoughts, and this has been validated today by modern VFLHQWLÂż F VWXGLHV 7KHUH LV enough evidence to justify the existence of bio-photons or electro-magnetic waves emanating from a living being that forms an electro-magnetic Âż HOG RU ELR Âż HOG RU $XUD around its physical body. And this can be seen using Kirlian Photography, P.I.P Scanners or %LR Âż HOG 9LHZHUV It is also said that one’s thought process determines one’s physical wellbeing; and many illnesses manifest around 6 months after engaging in polluted thoughts. Thus, an Aura report of a person can give us much insight into one’s Aura and consequently into what kind of ailments one may possibly suffer from in the future. However, another aspect of an Aura report is the information it can provide about one’s spiritual state. Almost all spiritual leaders and saints are seen possessing a very powerful Aura often referred to as ‘the body of light’.

Sanskaar - Two Meanings

Jitendra Deo THE word Sanskaaar has two PHDQLQJV 7KH Âż UVW PHDQLQJ is that of Sacrament, an outer ceremonial act with inner grace. There are sixteen such Vedic Sacraments. The second meaning of Sanskaar is latent, subliminal impression. Any act performed with any of the active and cognitive senses is recorded as a Sanskaar, an impression, on the nervous system of the individual.

It compares to the way ZH VDYH D ¿ OH RQ D KDUG disk found in the CPU (Central Processing Unit) of a computer. A human being is what these Sanskaar impressions make of him. In fact, Sanskaars, in their totality, make up the personality of the individual. They are not merely passive traces of a person’s past actions but highly dynamic forces that propel consciousness into action; WKH\ GH¿ QH KLV FKDUDFWHU DQG cause him to think, speak and act a certain way. Vaasanaas, on the other hand, are desire-seeds born out of Sanskaars. They act together. Like Sanskaars, they are also embedded deep into a person’s nervous system, make up our inner personality and create

tendencies to look for, SRVVHVV DQG HQMR\ VSHFL¿ F sense-objects. These Vaasanaa-Tendencies determine what type of person we are and what type of inner calling and aptitude we respond to. They bind the individual sturdily to Like and Dislike, Attraction and Aversion. These Vaasanaa-desireseeds compel Man’s actions, forcing him to act in such a way that he becomes trapped in the Cyclic Wheel of Recurring Birth and Death.

2 Independents join K’taka rebellion, numbers favour BJP By TNN

BENGALURU: The entire Karnataka ministry barring chief minister HD Kumaraswamy resigned on Monday in a bid to save the Congress-JD (S) government even as it received another jolt when the two independents who were inducted just a month ago withdrew support to the coalition. 7KH WZR LQGHSHQGHQWV À HZ WR 0XPEDL WR join the 13 rebel Congress-JD(S) MLAs, who put cold water on the coalition’s attempts to save the government by rejecting the offer of ministerial berths. 7KH 0/$V À HZ WR *RD IURP 0XPEDL in the evening. In a day of fast-paced developments, the numbers tilted in favour of BJP with independent MLAs H Nagesh and R Shankar withdrawing support to the government. The coalition’s strength in the 224-member assembly has now come down to 103.

The opposition BJP now has a support of 107 MLAs. The magic number after the resignation of 13 Congress-JD (S) MLAs from the assembly on Saturday came down WR IURP HDUOLHU Ironically, it was the appointment of independent MLAs H Nagesh and R Shankar as ministers that triggered the ongoing dissidence in Congress and JD(S).

Should he accept the resignations and the numbers remain as they are, the government will be in trouble. BJP has already urged the speaker to take a call without any delay. Kumaraswamy, who returned from US on Sunday, put up a brave face in Vidhana Soudha where he stationed himself after

meeting Congress leaders. The CM met Congress legislature party leader Siddaramaiah at the residence of former deputy CM G Parameshwara. “Those who want to come back can do so.

Winter nail care by Hetvi Hair & Beauty Nimisha Modi Hetvi Hair & Beauty 0412 350 013

HEY GIRLS, The winter months are not easy on the nails. Cold, brittle climates combined with heating indoors takes a toll on the nails and cuticles. Here are some tips on how to take care of your nails during the winter months and the best nail care products you can use. Why Nails Hate Winter Two words: moisture loss, leaving them dehydrated.� Dried-out nails are more likely to break, split, and

chip. Compounding the harsh climate conditions are stressors such as hot showers (water draws moisture from nails as it evaporates from skin) and drying products, like polish removers with acetone, alcohol-based hand sanitizers, and dishwashing liquid. During the winter months, you might be showering with water that is hotter than you are normally used to. While a nice, hot shower might seem very pleasant when it’s freezing cold outside, the truth is hot water can actually dry your

nails out and make them brittle. I know this sounds hard if you love to take very hot showers, but it will be better for your nails and cuticles in the long run (as well as your hair, as it is also made of cuticles). The same goes for when you are washing your hands through-out the day, keep the water temperature lukewarm. Lemon for nails! Yes, citrus helps to keep your claws happy. It also makes your nails stain free. 6RDN \RXU Âż QJHU WLSV in a bowl of lukewarm water and gently rub the lemon wedges on your

nails. Follow it up with a moisturizer. Intense hydration is the name of the game. Nails are made up of À DWWHQHG GHDG FHOOV containing keratin, but moisturizers can make WKHP À H[LEOH VXSSOH DQG less likely to split and break. So apply after every hand washing, get in the habit of massage your nails with cream too. Just massage the cream into the cuticles to help stimulate healthy nail growth. At night, rub on cuticle oil (olive oil also works). Recommend soaking nails

in lukewarm water for no more than 10 minutes, then coating them with cuticle oil and slipping on cotton gloves for at least an hour. I cannot stress the LPSRUWDQFH RI Âż OLQJ HYHU\ day. During the winter, the dry air is more likely to cause small tears in a growing QDLO EXW NHHSLQJ WKHP Âż OHG daily with an emory board is just the trick to keeping the ends hard and tough. Girls, if you paint your nails during the winter, make sure you pick a nail polish brand by a renowned cosmetic line. Avoid cheap brand nail

polish, as they may contain lead. Also go for at least one day with unpainted nails so WKDW \RXU Âż QJHUQDLOV DQG cuticles can ‘breathe’. Also use unscented lotions when moisturizing your hands and nails. As pleasant as scented lotions smell, the truth is any perfume based lotion will dry your hands out in QRWKLQJ Ă€ DW Stick to the basics, and you will have strong, healthy nails year round! So it is simple but these are effective way to take care of nails in winter. Take FDUH , ZLOO VHH \RX QH[W month.

World Hepatitis Day – Finding The Missing Thousands in Queensland THE theme of this year’s World Hepatitis Day is Finding the Missing Millions. This is the worldwide message.

Most importantly, many people with hepatitis B or hepatitis C do not look or feel sick. This why it is so important to check if you have the virus. If you have never been tested or don’t know if you have been tested, see your GP and ask for the blood tests for hepatitis B and hepatitis C. All GPs can request this test for you.

Located on Menser Street and only 500m from the family friendly Calamvale District Park, Easthaven Calamvale comprises just 19 freehold lots, all level and retained, ready for a range of new homes.

Research shows March housing decline, market to stabilise

PROPERTY prices fell across Australia at the start of the year with the weighted average media prices decreasing by with houses declining 2.2 per cent and other dwellings 1.4 per cent, according to the latest research from the Real Estate Institute of Australia. REIA President Adrian Kelly said while REIA Real Estate Market Facts for the March 2019 quarter showed a continuing

decline in the market since June 2018 for both house and other dwellings a number of factors are pointing to a stabilising market. “With the election out of the way and no change in property WD[DWLRQ D FXW LQ RIÂż FLDO LQWHUHVW rates in June and the possibility of a further cut later this year we should see the market, which is already showing signs that the rate of price falls is declining, stabilise.â€? “The rate cut, unlike the last series of cuts in 2015 and 2016 which stimulated investor DFWLYLW\ ZLOO EHQHÂż W Âż UVW KRPH

“The weighted average vacancy rate for the eight capital cities decreased to 2.8% during the March quarter indicating a slight tightening of the rental market,� Mr Kelly.

REIA says rate cut to help affordability for home buyers THE RBA’s decision to cut interest rates will help affordability for home buyers, according to the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA). “The second cut in as many months is a major boost to housing affordability,� REIA President Adrian Kelly, said.

Renting vs buying in Brisbane: The suburbs where it’s cheaper to pay a mortgage than rent A DOMAIN data crunch has revealed where in Australia it’s cheaper to buy a property rather than rent and Brisbane has more suburbs to choose from for buyers than the capitals down south. The data used mortgage repayments based on the median house or unit price for the suburb — assuming an interest rate of 3.5 per cent and a 20 per cent deposit — with costs like council rates and WUDQVIHU GXWLHV H[FOXGHG In Greater Brisbane, the suburbs where it was cheaper to pay for a mortgage than pay rent were generally found outside of the local government area, in Ipswich, Logan and Moreton Bay. The Logan suburb of Waterford had the biggest gap between buying and renting, with mortgage repayments calculated at $367 a week compared to $400 per week for rent. It was followed by Bellmere in Moreton Bay North, where paying the mortgage was $31 a week cheaper, and Loganholme and Crestmead, both in Logan, where mortgage repayments were $30 cheaper a week. While there was a similar pattern for apartments, there were also some inner-city suburbs such as Bowen Hills, Spring Hill and Fortitude Valley where mortgage repayments were cheaper than rents. The best deal was in Eagleby with a $79 difference, but Bowen Hills in the inner city was not far behind with a mortgage repayment of $339 – compared to $418 for weekly rents, a difference of $78. At the other end of the scale, New Farm’s weekly mortgage repayment was $1498, a whopping $838 above the weekly median rent of $660. It was a similar story in Ascot, with median mortgage repayments coming in $641 per week more WKDQ LW FRVW WR UHQW ZKLOH $XFKHQĂ€ RZHUÂśV UHSD\PHQWV were $558 more than rents. Domain Research analyst Eliza Owen said Brisbane had far more suburbs, compared to Melbourne and Sydney, where mortgages were cheaper to repay. “Generally what we saw in houses — which is consistent across capital cities — rents outstrip mortgage repayments in more affordable areas,â€? she said. Ms Owen said lower socio-economic areas of Brisbane might be seeing greater pressure on the rental market because of the hurdles associated with buying. 46 — THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, July, 2019

)RU H[DPSOH $%6 GDWD VKRZHG WKDW :DWHUIRUG KDG a much higher percentage of rentals that other parts of the city. “The competition that results in the rental market might be driving up rents over a mortgage repayment,â€? she said. When it came to inner-city Brisbane units, Ms Owen said these properties had more competition from mobile workers, short-term residents and young SURIHVVLRQDOV DW WKH UHQWDO VWDJH ZKLFK FRXOG H[SODLQ why the rental growth was higher than in other parts of the city. “Then at the same time, Brisbane has had so much supply, and so much scare around oversupply, that purchase prices have been relatively subdued,â€? Ms Owen added. “Brisbane units have actually performed pretty poorly over the past few years, compared to the house market.â€? At the other end of the scale, prestige areas like 1HZ )DUP $VFRW DQG &OD\Âż HOG ZRXOG DWWUDFW D premium from buyers and rental growth in those suburbs would struggle to keep up, she said. Âł<RXÂśUH QHYHU JRLQJ WR JHW WKH EHQHÂż WV RI EX\LQJ ´ Ms Owen noted. “Plus with renting, you can arrange in share arrangements, which makes it even cheaper.â€? Ms Owen said while the barriers to entering the Brisbane housing market were challenging, particularly for those on a lower income, the data could help aspiring buyers work out where they’d be placed in terms of managing their mortgage repayments. “Not everyone is going to be able to afford to buy, but I think what’s helpful about this data set is that it does give perspective on what could be possible

for people, if they can overcome the deposit hurdle,â€? she said. William Kiln, Mortgage Manager at ING Australia, said housing affordability was an issue around Australia, with putting together the deposit a barrier for many buyers which he said was not going to go away. “The biggest part of that is not the rental-vsmortgage,â€? he said. “It’s the ability to save up for the deposit; that is one of the bigger challenges. “Where the market is going at moment – interest rates are coming down, and that will help people service their mortgage. The fact is, you still have to save up and have that 20 per cent.â€? He said ING was seeing more mortgage applications after the federal election than it had earlier in the year, and people would need to have a strict saving plan to accumulate their deposit. John Jessop from Elders Shailer Park said buyers moving into the area or upgrading their home were predominately owner-occupiers. Âł7KH WR LV D ORW RI Âż UVW KRPH buyers,â€? he said, adding that they had a broad range of price points in the area they covered, with properties from as little as $150,000 up to well over $1 million. Mr Jessop had noticed the market had picked up since the federal election. “In the past two to three weeks it’s started to motor again,â€? he said. They were also getting buyers from further south, he added, who couldn’t believe the bang for their buck in the area. When it came to barriers to entering the market, Mr Jessop thought that conditions for business and the labour market were making it harder for young

people to buy a home. “Ten years you basically had a permanent job, nowadays you have people who have two or three jobs,â€? he said. “The dynamics have changed.â€? Meanwhile, in New Farm, demand was coming from young professionals, said Christine Rudolph from Ray White New Farm. “The attraction of this beautiful suburb is that it sits on a peninsula, with no through access to other suburbs, which makes it unique being so close to the city,â€? she said. She said local professional buyers were attracted to art deco apartments and the 1970s brick apartments were popular with renovators, while investors from Sydney were interested by the affordability compared to the Sydney market, as well as low vacancy rates. Downsizers, too, were keen on buying New Farm apartments, wanting to be close to the water and the lifestyle it brought. “Aspirational families in their 30s to 40s are key drivers for house sales,â€? she said, with the suburb well known for its classic Queenslander homes, as ZHOO DV QHZHU SUHPLXP OX[XU\ SURSHUWLHV Meighan Hetherington, director of Property Pursuit Buyers’ Agents, said in property there was often a negative correlation between rent return and capital growth – that is, areas with strong rental returns often had a slower rate of growth over the long term. “Many of these suburbs are outside the Brisbane ORFDO JRYHUQPHQW DUHD DQG YHU\ SRSXODU ZLWK Âż UVW home buyers,â€? she said, noting that the top 10 best suburbs for mortgage affordability, compared to rentals, all had a median house price under $400,000. “At the other end of the scale, the 10 suburbs with the greatest gap between mortgage payments and rental returns are those where land values are much higher and the median house price is well over $1 million. “But even with these higher prices, interstate buyers are seeing great value in inner Brisbane compared to Sydney and Melbourne.â€? She said she was seeing family homes within eight kilometres of the CBD in the $750,000 to $900,000 price range being snapped up particularly quickly. “We are also seeing new listings in this range DWWUDFWLQJ PXOWLSOH RIIHUV ZLWKLQ WKH Âż UVW VHYHQ GD\V ´ she said.

MAKE no mistake; Virat Kohli is a batting master. Still aged just 30, the Indian skipper already has more than 11,000 ODI runs to his name, a barelybelievable 41 centuries and could already lay claim to being the greatest one-day batsman the world has ever seen. Which simply makes his career record in ODI knockout games all the more puzzling. India’s World Cup semi¿ QDO DJDLQVW 1HZ =HDODQG tonight has brought back into focus the one low in Kohli's otherwise outstanding ODI statistics, a surprisingly belowaverage record in one-day elimination matches. ,Q TXDUWHU ¿ QDOV VHPL ¿ QDOV RU ¿ QDOV WKDW .RKOL has played in his career, he averages 31.36, almost half his career average of 59.70. An average in the low30s is hardly a failure for most players, but Kohli’s incredible career to date means he’s measured by a higher standard than others.

And while it’d be no great concern for him given it’s a small sample ahead of his 236th career game tonight, he’ll no doubt be hoping to rectify it against the Kiwis tonight and – all going well ¹ LQ WKH ¿ QDO DW /RUGœV RQ Sunday. Given Kohli – sometimes unfairly - has often been measured alongside his former teammate Sachin Tendulkar, the Little Master’s record in knockout games is an interesting comparison. Tendulkar, who averaged 44.83 in a 463-match ODI career, increased that average to 52.84 from 52 knockout matches. Three-time World Cup winner Ricky Ponting’s record in knockout games (average 39.76) mirrored his career record (average 42.03), although two of his four centuries in elimination games – including his memorable 140 not out in the 2003 World Cup ¿ QDO ¹ FDPH LQ WRXUQDPHQW deciders. It’s also worth noting that Kohli's failures with the bat in knockout games do

not always result in a loss. Of Kohli’s 14 elimination matches, India have won nine – including the 2011 :RUOG &XS Âż QDO Âą DQG ORVW Âż YH And based on his tournament so far, Kohli is well overdue to add to his 41 ODI centuries.

Kohli said on Monday. “It's great that Rohit is scoring so consistently, which means that coming in the later half of the innings,

you have to play a different role. “I have understood that roles can vary a lot in oneday cricket, depending on the time you step into bat,

BOLLYWOOD & ENTERTAINMENT Victorian law graduate born in India wins Miss Universe Australia @ !$, 36'

SHE'S interned for the United Nations, spent her gap year volunteering for the State Emergency Service and she's about to be admitted as a lawyer to the Supreme Court. Now, 26-year-old Melbourne public servant Priya Serrao can add Miss Universe Australia to her impressive resume, joining luminaries like Jennifer Hawkins, Erin McNaught and Jesinta Franklin on the pageant's prestigious honour roll. Ms Serrao beat 27 other Âż QDOLVWV IURP DURXQG Australia to take the title in front of a packed crowd DW WKH 6RÂż WHO +RWHO LQ Melbourne on Thursday night. She will go on to represent Australia in the Miss Universe competition in a yet to be determined host country later this year. , YH EHHQ SUHWW\ H[KDXVWHG because I only had an hour of sleep last night, but I've just had a nap and I feel great," Ms Serrao told The Age amid a whirlwind

of interviews, events and appearances on Friday. Our newest style icon was born in Hyderabad, India then lived in Dubai until she moved to Australia aged 11. If not for her mother's Australian visa getting approved in a timely manner, Ms Serrao may well have been crowned Miss Universe Canada instead. And Canada's loss is Melbourne's gain. Rather than use her gap year to backpack through Europe like many other teens, Ms Serrao asked herself how she could instead "use the time doing some good". That question led her to volunteer for the SES, helping elderly residents FOHDU WKHLU KRPHV RI À RRG damage and fallen trees after storms. Before she landed a Victorian government job in the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions, she spent two months in East Timor researching legal aid issues for the United Nations.
