Is Mallika a pornstar?

There was one critic who compared me to a pornstar and said Mallika is a pornstar. I don’t have anything against them, it is not a judgement on them(the porn industry). But this is what the critics were writing, this is the low level they dropped into.

Afghanistan: Al Qaida can rebuild itself in a year or two, says US HiIndia Newsdesk

The new timeline is not a radical shift, but reflects the reality that the Taliban have a limited ability to control the borders of the country

Cohen did not identify specific Qaida members who have travelled back to Afghanistan since the fall of the American-backed government.

Al Qaida could rebuild inside Afghanistan within one to two years, top intelligence officials said on Tuesday, noting that some members of the terror group have already returned to the country. Earlier in the year, top Pentagon officials said Al Qaida could reconstitute within two years, then told lawmakers after the fall of the Afghanistan government they were revising that timeline.

The new timeline is not a radical shift, but reflects the reality that the Taliban have a limited ability to control the borders of Afghanistan. While the Taliban have long fought the Islamic State affiliate, they are established allies of al Qaida. Though the Taliban pledged in the February 2020 peace agreement with the US not to let Afghanistan be used by terror groups, analysts have said such promises ring hollow.

“The current assessment probably conservatively is one to two years for al Qaida to build some capability to at least threaten the homeland,” Lieutenant General Scott D. Berrier, the director of the Defence Intelligence Agency said on Tuesday at the annual Intelligence and National Security Summit. David S. Cohen, the deputy director of the CIA, said the difficult part of the timeline question was to know when al Qaida or the IS affiliate in Afghanistan would “have the capability to go to strike the homeland” before they could be detected. The CIA is keeping a keen watch of “some potential movement of al Qaida to Afghanistan”, Cohen said.

Joe Biden Backs US Top General On Calls To China Over Trump Mental State HiIndia Newsdesk

Washington: US President Joe Biden expressed "complete confidence" in the United States' top general after revelations that he spoke to his Chinese counterpart twice amid concerns about then-president Donald Trump's mental state.

Biden pushed back against Republican calls to fire Joint Chiefs Chair General Mark Milley for allegedly undermining civilian control of the military in the calls last October and January as Trump refused to accept his election loss to the Democrat. "The president has complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism and his fidelity to our constitution," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters.

Simone Biles: 'I blame system that enabled Larry Nassar abuse' Elite US gymnast Simone Biles has testified before the Senate about abuse she suffered at the hands of disgraced former team doctor, Larry Nassar.

HiIndia Newsdesk Former teammates Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney also appeared before the committee, along with FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The committee is examining shortcomings in the FBI's investigation into Nassar, later convicted of sexually abusing girls.

He is serving a life sentence in jail.

"I blame Larry Nasser, and I also blame an entire system that enabled and perpetrated [sic] his abuse," said Ms Biles, the most decorated Olympic gymnast of all-time.

"If you allow a predator to harm children, the consequences will be swift and severe," she added. Gymnast Maggie Nichols - the first victim to report her abuse to USA Gymnastics - also testified. FBI Director Christopher Wray apologised profusely to those present for the "reprehensible conduct" and "fundamental errors" detailed in the July report.

Mr Wray only took the agency's top job in 2017, but pledged to prevent a repeat of the mishandled case under his leadership.

He pointed to last week's removal of the supervising official involved, while noting the other official - who led the field office in Indianapolis - had retired long before he could be disciplined. He acknowledged the work of both agents had "violated the FBI's long-standing code of conduct" but was "inconsistent" with the vast majority of his team.

US has no legitimate reasons to freeze Afghanistan's assets: China Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian says that the US should respond to the legitimate requests of the Afghans

HiIndia Newsdesk China on Wednesday supported the Taliban's demand that the US should unfreeze Afghanistan's assets and said that America has no legitimate reasons to do so as the Chinese envoy to Kabul called on acting Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan

Muttaqi and congratulated the interim government.

According to reports from Washington, the US has frozen about USD 9.5 billion in assets belonging to Afghanistan's central bank and stopped shipments of cash to Kabul, in a bid to keep the Taliban government from accessing the money.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told reporters here that the US has no legitimate reasons to freeze Afghanistan's assets.

Asked about the Taliban's demand that the US should unfreeze Afghanistan's assets stating that they belong to the people of Afghanistan and the interim government will take a legal action possible to get the funds released, Zhao said: “I think that the (Taliban's) spokesperson is right. These assets belong to the Afghan people.”

European Union Chief Pledges Kim Jong Un’s sister warns of 100 Million Euros More In Aid For ‘destruction’ of South Korean ties Afghanistan HiIndia Newsdesk Strasbourg: EU chief Ursu l a von der L e yen on Wednesday vowed to boost humanitarian aid to Afghanistan as she pledged the 27-nation bloc stands "by the Afghan people".

"We must do everything to avert the real risk that is out there of a major famine and humanitarian disaster," European Commission president von der Leyen said in her annual State of the European Union address.

"We will do our part, we will increase again, humanitarian aid for Afghanistan by 100 million euros," she added.

The new promise comes after the European Commission -- the EU's executive -- already quadrupled its humanitarian aid to Afghanistan for this year to 200 million euros ($236 million) as the country struggles to stave off collapse after the Taliban's takeover.

Brussels has said that none of the aid will go to Afghanistan's new rulers and has demanded the Taliban ensure access for humanitarian workers in the country.

Von der Leyen said the EU would set out in full its "new, wider Afghan support package" in the coming weeks.

The EU is worried a humanitarian catastrophe in Afghanistan could spark a mass wave of refugees heading to the bloc, similar to the 2015 migrant crisis caused by the Syrian war.

First visit to Egypt by an Israeli PM in a decade

HiIndia Newsdesk Israel's prime minister has made an official trip to neighbouring Egypt for the first time in a decade.

Naftali Bennett described his talks with President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh as "very important and very good".

Egypt said they had discussed regional issues, including ways to revive the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Mr Bennett, who succeeded long-time Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu in June, was invited to visit last month. Mr Netanyahu was the last Israeli head of government to make an official visit to Egypt in 2011, when he met then-President Hosni Mubarak just over a month before he was ousted by a popular uprising.

Putin in isolation after aides infected

HiIndia Newsdesk The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Wednesday criticized South Korea’s president and threatened a “complete destruction” of bilateral relations after both of the countries tested ballistic missiles hours apart.

The launches of missiles underscored a return of tensions between the rivals at a time when talks aimed at stripping North Korea of its nuclear program are stalled.

Kim’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, criticized South Korean President Moon Jae-in for comments he made while observing his country’s missile tests, including its first of a submarinelaunched ballistic missile. Moon said South Korea’s growing missile capabilities will serve as a “sure deterrence” against North Korean provocations. The tests came hours after the South Korean and Japanese militaries said North Korea had fired two ballistic missiles into the sea. In a statement carried by state media, Kim berated Moon for describing North Korean weapons demonstrations as a provocation, and warned of a “complete destruction” of bilateral relations if he continues with what she described as slander of North Korea.

Putin, 68, will not travel to Tajikistan this week for planned regional security meetings expected to focus on Afghanistan, but will take part by video conference instead. The Kremlin said Putin took the decision to self-isolate after completing a busy round of meetings on Monday, which included face-to-face Kremlin talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Why Gujarat chief ministers can't finish their term

I

The BJP has also appointed new chief ministers in the Himalayan state of Uttrakhand, which will also vote for a new assembly next year, and in the southern state of Karnataka. The current political situation in Gujarat is also a sign of the uncertainty that has prevailed since Mr Modi became PM. Ms Patel didn't have much time to settle down in her role before the state witnessed huge protests from the influential Patidar (also known as Patel) community which wanted quotas in government jobs.

ndia's governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has chosen a new chief minister in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat.

Mr Modi served as the chief minister of the state for more than 12 years before his landslide win in the 2014 general election brought him to national politics.

But the two chief ministers who were sworn in since have not completed their five-year term.

The outgoing chief minister, Vijay Rupani, has now been replaced with Bhupendra Patel before next year's assembly election.

This is a familiar script.

Former chief minister Anandiben Patel had to make way for Mr Rupani in 2016 - just months before the state voted for a new assembly.

What's driving this strategy?

Experts say that one of the main reasons is that no other state leader has been able to match Mr Modi's style of absolute leadership.

Political analyst Jatin Desai said both Ms Patel and Mr Rupani were constantly compared with Mr Modi and fell short of expectations. "Mr Modi never faced any challenge - both in the state or from the central BJP leadership - during his tenure in the state. He was able to carve out an image of a pro-development leader and no other politician has been able to compete with that," he told BBC Gujarati.

Mr Modi was also able to keep the party united, tackling dissenting voices effortlessly, Mr Desai

Patels have traditionally voted for the BJP. But reports say the group has lately been upset with the party over its lack of representation in the government. Gujarat is a crucial state for the BJP - the party has been in power here for more than two decades. And Mr Modi's tenure there propelled his run for prime minister. added, unlike his successors who have not shown "similar abilities".

But other analysts believe that Mr Modi changed chief ministers twice to prevent another leader from becoming prominent in his home state. Dr Hari Desai, who has followed Gujarat politics for decades, says the prime minister wants to protect his legacy in Gujarat.

"This strategy is very similar to what former PM Indira Gandhi did [in 1970s and early 1980s] to stop any challenge to her leadership. Mr Modi and the BJP are following the same script," he said.

The BJP has also appointed new chief ministers in the Himalayan state of Uttrakhand, which will also vote for a new assembly next year, and in the southern state of Karnataka. The current political situation in Gujarat is also a sign of the uncertainty that has prevailed since Mr Modi became PM. Ms Patel didn't have much time to settle down in her role before the state witnessed huge protests from the influential Patidar (also known as Patel) community which wanted quotas in government jobs.

The community is also known to traditionally support the BJP. Analysts say her inability to control the protests

allowed the BJP to request for her resignation.

The decision paid dividends as the party retained Gujarat in state polls in 2017. The BJP appears to be following the same script again.

The 'surprise' candidate The decision to appoint Mr Patel, a first-time legislator with no previous experience in the government, has surprised analysts.

The 59-year-old has served as a state lawmaker since winning from Ghatlodia constituency in 2017.

He was reportedly the top choice of both Mr Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, whose home state is also Gujarat. Mr Patel was chosen over frontrunners such as health minister Mansukh Mandaviya and Praful Khoda Patel, the controversial administrator of Lakshadweep islands.

But experts say this is a calculated move.

Mr Patel is a Patidar - the politically influential farming community comprises some 20% of Gujarat's population.

Patels have traditionally voted for the BJP. But reports say the group has lately been upset with the party over its lack of representation in the government.

Gujarat is a crucial state for the BJP - the party has been in power here for more than two decades. And Mr Modi's tenure there propelled his run for prime minister.

Analysts say the BJP's decision to name a chief minister from the Patel community, therefore, could be an important step to avoid any electoral setback.

On Sunday, Mr Rupani endorsed Mr Patel and said the party will "successfully contest the polls" under his leadership.

SPECIAL STORY

Over the course of nine days in May 1940, more than 338,000 Allied forces were evacuated from the beach and harbour at the French port city of Dunkirk as the German military bore down on them.

In this sea of European servicemen was Major

Mohammad Akbar Khan, an Indian soldier.

On 28 May, he led 300 Indian soldiers and 23 British troops in an orderly column along the bombed-out harbour to the East Mole, the nearly mile-long wooden jetty which featured in Christopher Nolan's epic 2017 film, Dunkirk.

The forgotten Indian soldiers of Dunkirk The remarkable evacuation of Allied troops from Dunkirk was a pivotal moment in World War Two. What is not well known is the story of nearly 300 Indian soldiers who were also part of the contingent.

Indian soldiers like Major Akbar who were evacuated from Dunkirk have been completely forgotten, according to British historian Ghee Bowman. He spent five years in five countries, tracking down lost archives and photographs from family albums and talking to descendants of the soldiers.

The Indian soldiers belonged to the 25th Animal Transport Company, who had travelled 7,000 miles (11,265 km) with their mules to help the British army. All

why were these soldiers forgotten in the books and films of what Winston Churchill, Britain's prime minister during World War Two, called a "miracle of deliverance" in a famed speech in 1940? image captionMaj Akbar Khan, bareheaded, in the centre and in uniform, and other Indian soldiers

but four of them were Muslim.

They wore khaki, tin helmets, caps and pagris (turbans). They carried no weapons, because none had been issued when they left Punjab six months before they landed in France.

In the bitter winter in France, the British army needed mules to replace motorised vehicles to carry supplies. But as they lacked "animal-handling skills", the Indian troops were deployed to help them.

Some five million Commonwealth servicemen joined the military services of the British Empire during the war.

Almost half of them were from South Asia.

What happened with the Indian soldiers in Dunkirk has been unclear.

"The story of these soldiers and their comrades is one of the great untold stories of the war," said Mr Bowman, author, most recently of The Indian Contingent: The Forgotten Muslim Soldiers of the Battle of Dunkirk.

Take, for example, Chaudr y Wali Mohammad, who later recounted that "German planes [were] like terrible birds flying overheard and firing on us… I did not sleep for 15 days". He and his contingent reached Dunkirk on 23 May.

"We didn't think we would come out of Dunkirk alive… Everything was on fire.

The whole of Dunkirk was alight. There were so many fires it was like daylight…

"The ship we were supposed to board was sunk. We got down to the beach and found the ship had sunk, so then we had to run back to the woods," he later recalled. Two days later, Mohammad and his troops were evacuated.

Then there was Jemadar Maula Dad Khan who was feted for showing "magnificent courage, coolness and decision" in protecting his men and animals when they were shelled from the ground and strafed from the air by the enemy.

"I don't think the significance of Indian soldiers lies in their numbers. It's in the simple fact that they were there, as Indians, as citizens of the Empire, with a maulvi [Muslim priest] and pagris, and a whole different way of looking at the world," Mr Bowman said.

These men had spent much of 1940 in a village in northern France, just north of the city of Lille. Braving a biting winter, they exercised and fed their mules. They met local villagers, charming packed audiences with their "weekly gymkhanas where they performed tricks on mule back and danced bhangra [an energetic folk dance from Punjab]".

Things changed rapidly in May when the Germans attacked France, and "within a space of two weeks, from being part of a well-ordered, disciplined, multi-national army, the soldiers were part of a chaotic retreat to the coast", says Mr Bowman.

On reaching Dover, the historian says, they

played Punjabi folk music, upon which even "many British spectators joined in the dance".

They were welcomed into British homes and hearts, and had a set of toy soldiers reproduced after them.

Their lives had changed as they travelled from India to villages and towns across Britain and France until they returned home after the end of the war. Some were captured by Germans and held in prisoner of war camps in France, Germany, Italy and Poland.

Then why were these soldiers forgotten in the books and films of what Winston Churchill, Britain's prime minister during World War Two, called a "miracle of deliverance" in a famed speech in 1940?

One reason, according to Mr Bowman, could be that they were "involved in the business of supply, not front-line fighting, and such support troops are rarely remembered".

"Public memory and public forgetting are fascinating processes, it's hard to put your finger on all the reasons," Mr Bowman says.

"The post-war environment was a very different one, in Europe and in India.

In Europe there was a need for physical reconstruction and for building new societies. The focus was on the future, and the elements of the war that lived on in popular memory were taken from a narrow field, usually involving those with white faces and posh backgrounds.

"In India, the process leading to independence and partition took precedence. History is always a moving and unfolding process."

A critic compared me to a pornstar and wrote Mallika is a pornstar Mallika Sherawat has been missing in action for quite a few years now. But recently, with MX Player's original series Nakaab the actress is all set to make a comeback on the screens again. The actress will play the role of a power-hungry producer Zohar Mehra. The film also stars Esha Gupta and Gautam rode in pivotal roles of Police Inspectors.

‘Jayalalithaa would’ve approved Kangana Ranaut’s portrayal’: Simi Garewal Veteran actor and celebrity chat show host Simi Garewal was spotted with Kangana Ranaut at a preview theatre in Mumbai on Friday where she watched Thalaivii. Soon after, Simi took to Twitter to share her take on the film. Simi, who had interviewed former actor and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa for her popular chat show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal way back in 1999, shared that Jayalalithaa wanted Aishwarya Rai to play her role if there was ever

a biopic made on her. Before sharing her opinion on the film, Simi clarified that she “does not support Kangana Ranaut’s radical comments.” After watching Thalaivii with Kangana, Simi tweeted, “Altho I do not support #KanganaRanaut’s radical comments..I do support her acting talent. In #Thailavii she gives it her heart & soul! Jaya-ji wanted Aishwarya to play her..my hunch is JJ wud hv approved of Kangana’s portrayal. As for @thearvindswamy he is MGR reincarnate!!” Simi also could not stop appreciating Arvind Swami’s portrayal of MGR in Thalaivi. She wrote, “You forget he is Arvind Swamy! You believe he REALLY is MGR! But they left out JJ’s childhood..I wish they hadn’t. It wud have had a stronger impact in the story of Jayalalithaa.. but that’s only my opinion..”

The promos released has left the fans and the netizens stunned by the actress's powerpack performance and interesting plot. Speaking about the series Mallika Sherawat got into an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama and played a super fun rapid-fire.

When asked what is the meanest thing a critic has written about her, she reveals a shocking statement. The actress confessed that she was compared to a pornstar although she doesn't have anything against the porn industry.

Mallika said, "Oh My God! There are so many. It was one critic, I don't wanna say it but he wrote something very mean because then it goes into a very judgemental issue. There was one critic who compared me to a pornstar and said Mallika is a pornstar. I don't have anything against them, it is not a judgement on them(the porn industry). But this is what the critics were writing, this is the low level they dropped into."

Nakaab is an investigative thriller series directed by Soumik Sen. The MX Player original drama stars Esha Gupta, Mallika Sherawat and Gautam Rode in the lead roles. The espionage drama is about a high-profile death case and is set to premiere on September 15, 2021.

‘Respect should be given’ Kareena Kapoor trolled after claims she demanded Rs 12 cr to play Sita

K

areena Kapoor Khan says that female artistes voicing for equal pay in the film industry should be normalised as pay parity signifies respect for women. Kareena, in an interview to the Guardian, said she is happy that more female actors have begun raising the unfortunate gender pay disparity in Bollywood. The actor also said that she is aware of her worth and has no qualms in putting it across during negotiations.

“Just a few years ago, no one would talk about a man or woman actually getting

equal pay in a movie. Now there are a lot of us being very vocal about it.”

The actor was recently trolled for allegedly hiking her fees to play Sita in an upcoming reimagining of the Ramayana. The actor has not directly responded to reports that said that she asked for Rs 12 crore for the film, which would require a longer commitment from her. “I make it quite clear what I want and I think that respect should be given. It’s not about being demanding, it’s about being respectful towards women. And I think things are kind of changing,” Kareena said.

Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Reliance Vicky Kaushal starrer Sardar Udham Singh Entertainment to produce a slate of films to release on Amazon Prime Video on with an investment of over Rs. 1000 crore Dussehra In one of the Indian film industry’s biggest collaborations, T-Series & Reliance Entertainment have joined hands to produce more than 10 films together across varied genres that include big-budget tentpoles as well as mid and smallbudget content-rich films.

This giant collaboration that brings two major production houses together with an investment of approximately Rs 1000cr will bring forth films ranging through different genres, production scales, talent, and music. Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Reliance Entertainment, have worked together on the music marketing front for more than 100 films. Now for the first time, both studios will collaborate to produce a slew of multiple films and a great start of a larger long-term relationship for content creation between the two organizations.

Vicky Kaushal starrer Sardar Udham Singh was announced by director Shoojit Sircar in 2019.

Vicky will be seen playing the role of the revolutionary freedom fighter in this biopic. While the shoot was wrapped in December 2019, the post-production took a long time and was further delayed by the pandemic. However, now the makers have decided for a digital release skipping its theatrical release. According to the latest reports, Sardar Udham Singh will premiere directly on Amazon Prime Video during the Dussehra weekend next month.

The film will be tentatively released on October 16. The makers waited for a long time for the situation to become normal and theatres to reopen.

The film was shot in Russia, UK, Ireland, Germany, and North India.

No Time To Die actor Lashana Lynch: ‘James Bond could be a man or woman, of any race or age’

Into The Wild With Bear Grylls’ next guest is Ajay Devgn After special episodes of Into The Wild With Bear Grylls featuring Tamil superstar Rajinikanth and Bollywood’s Akshay Kumar, Discovery has roped in Ajay Devgn for an upcoming episode. Into The Wild With Bear Grylls is a survival skills reality show that involves Indian celebrities venturing into the wilderness with the famous British survivalist and adventurer. It is similar to Grylls’ other, international show for NBC and National Geographic called Running Wild with Bear Grylls, that has hosted actors Channing Tatum, Ben Stiller, and Michelle Rodriguez, and former US president Barack Obama.

Actor Lashana Lynch, who will next be seen in the upcoming James Bond film No Time To Die, has denied speculation that she could take over the franchise as the lead in future installments.

“Nooo! You don’t want me!” she told The Guardian in an interview.

The 33-year-old actor said the next Bond can be anyone: a man or woman, a young or old person, from any race. “We are in a place in time where the industry is not just giving audiences what it thinks the audience wants. They’re actually giving the audience what they want to give the audience. “With Bond, it could be a man or woman. They could be white, black, Asian, mixed race. They could be young or old. At the end of the day, even if a two-year-old was playing Bond, everyone would flock to the cinema to see what this two-yearold’s gonna do, no?” the Captain Marvel star said. Lynch plays Nomi, an MI6 agent who is rumoured to inherit Bond’s iconic number 007 in the film, which also stars Daniel Craig in his final performance as the franchise lead.

‘Ripped my dignity apart’ Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actors Munmun Dutta, Raj Anadkat slam dating rumours Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Munmun Dutta got trolled after rumours of her dating co-star Raj Anadkat went viral on social media. On Sunday, Munmun, who is popular for playing Babita in the series, and Raj, who plays Tappu on the show, ended their silence on the matter in two strong Instagram posts. Addressing their viewers, the actors said they had “far better expectations.”

Munmum wrote, “To the general public, I had far better expectations from you.

But the filth that you have showered in the comment section, even from the so called ‘Literate’ ones proves how regressive society we are. Women are constantly AGE SHAMED, SLUT SHAMED, MOM SHAMED, at the cost of your humour. Whether your humour drives someone to the edge of a mental breakdown or not, is never you concern. 13 years of entertaining people and it didn’t take 13 minutes for anyone of you to RIP MY DIGINITY APART.” She added, “So, next time someone is clinically depressed or driven to take their own lives, pause and think whether it was your words that drove that person to the edge or not. Today, I am ashamed calling myself a daughter of India.” In the second note, she said that no one has given the media, the right to post “imaginary” and “made up” articles in people’s name about their private life without their consent. Soon after Munmun’s post, Raj Anadkat also took to his Instagram account and reacted on the rumour.

He wrote, “To everyone, who has been constantly writing about me, THINK of the repercussion that can happen in my life because of your ‘COOKED UP’ (false) stories and that too about my life without my consent.

1 Million NYC Public School Students Return to Class, Schools Health Screen Site Crashed

Representative image

HiIndia Newsdesk NEW YORK, NY — New York City’s public school students went back to classrooms en masse Monday for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic struck.

But the rush of students and teachers momentarily crashed a crucial health screening website. The DOE Health Screening

tool — which students and staff must complete before each day of school — eventually went back online.

“Our apologies for the short period it was down this morning,” the DOE tweeted. “If you are having issues accessing the online tool, please use a paper form or inform school staff verbally.” The DOE Health Screening tool is back online: https://t.co/voTpC5zPC0. Our apologies for the short period it was down this morning. If you are having issues accessing the online tool, please use a paper form or inform school staff verbally. The hiccup was perhaps inevitable as the nation’s largest school system, at nearly 1 million students, opened its doors to all students for the first time since March 2020.

“Hm, who could have anticipated that 1 million students trying to log on to the NYC DOE health screening site at the same time might overload the system?” tweeted Jeannie Kim. Many parents and teachers are still calling for a remote option as the coronavirus pandemic lingers and the highly contagious delta variant spreads.

But Mayor Bill de Blasio and city education officials have been adamant that safeguards — including an upcoming mandate that all teachers get vaccinated — make schools overwhelmingly safe.

DHS Continues Temporary Protected Status Designations for El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua and Sudan HiIndia Newsdesk WASHINGTON, DC—The Department of Homeland Security has announced the automatic extension of TPS designations for El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan. TPS beneficiaries from these six countries will retain their status, provided they continue to meet all the individual requirements for TPS eligibility. The automatic extension of TPS-related documentation includes Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) through Dec. 31, 2022.

Eligible individuals whose TPS under the Haiti designation is presently continued by court orders and this notice are strongly encouraged to

apply for Haiti TPS under the recently announced new designation. This will ensure their TPS will continue if the courts end their injunctions. In addition, eligible individuals who do not apply for

the new Haiti TPS designation during the initial registration period may be prohibited from filing a late initial registration during any subsequent extension of the designation if they do not meet certain conditions.

This extension ensures continued compliance with various court orders issued by federal district courts in the Ramos, Bhattarai, and Saget lawsuits.

Current beneficiaries under the TPS designations for El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan do not need to pay a fee or file any application to maintain their TPS and have their TPS-related documentation automatically extended through Dec. 31, 2022.

Indian American Sibling Duo Makes $32,000 Every Month with Ethereum

(L-R) Ananya & Ishaan Thakur

DALLAS, TX- Two Indian American kids in Texas are making tens of thousands of dollars a month with Ethereum. Siblings Ishaan and Ananya Thakur, 14 and 9, respectively, have been bringing in thousands of dollars mining Ethereum. The brother-sister duo currently makes $32,000 a month from their Ethereum mining operation that they started in their garage, according to a report.

The pair became interested in cryptocurrencies after their father had told them about Bitcoin. At the time,

They now have a data center in downtown Dallas where they keep most of their mining rigs while they still keep about 30 cards in their garage, the news outlet continued. the siblings were interested in buying the cryptocurrency, but because the price had grown so much, they opted for mining, according to the report.

But mining for bitcoin had become an oversaturated market, they found.

Hence, they opted for the secondlargest cryptocurrency by market cap, Ethereum, it said. They had started by mining Ethereum using an old gaming laptop that they had. In the first month of mining, they had made $1,000 from their small operation, noted the report.

This motivated the pair to take their activities to the next level, given the profits they had acquired using just an old gaming laptop. Crypto mining requires chips to mine and this is where the siblings ran into their first problem.

They wanted to expand their mining operations, but due to the pandemic, there has been a chip shortage. The duo decided to wait for chips to become available, and when they were, the duo was able to expand their mining operations beyond their home garage. They now have a data center in downtown Dallas where they keep most of their mining rigs while they still keep about 30 cards in their garage, the news outlet continued.

Profits from the mining operation, Ishaan Thakur explained in the report, go to their college fund. Both siblings have dreams of becoming doctors and want to go to the University of Pennsylvania, in the case of Ishaan, and the University of New York, in the case of Aanya, it added.

NRI’s ‘patriotic gesture’ lands her in jail HiIndia Newsdesk Jeddah: An Indian woman’s patriotic gesture of holding the national tricolour in a holy Islamic shrine proved costly for her as she had to spend five days behind bars for her show of affection towards her motherland. Unaware of the rules, Indians sometimes land in serious legal trouble in foreign countries and are subjected to bitter experiences. The woman, who hails from Pune, along with her husband and children, was arrested for displaying the Indian national flag in holy Haram in Mecca and had to spend five days in jail before being released. The NRI family, living in Riyadh visited Mecca last week to perform Umrah. After completing the rituals in the early hours when the crowd of worshippers was relatively low, the family decided to take a photograph with the Holy Kaba in the background and displaying the Indian national flag, sources said. Even as they were taking the keepsake picture, police reached the spot and apprehended the entire family and shifted them to a police station, sources added. Later, after preliminary investigations, the husband and children were released but the wife was detained since she was holding the flag.

Since the photo was not posted on any social media platform and the family pleading innocence and unaware of the rules, the Saudi authorities released the woman, five days after her arrest, family sources said.

HiIndia Newsdesk Uwe Hohn, the German great hired in 2017 to coach javelin star Neeraj Chopra, has been sacked by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI). Hohn, 59, the only athlete to throw over 100 metres, was Chopra’s coach when he won gold medals at the Asian Games and Commonwealth Games in 2018, and remained in charge as the national javelin coach for the Tokyo Olympics.

No captaincy change for India as long as team’s performing: Jay Shah

HiIndia Newsdesk Shooting coach Jaspal Rana, who was labelled as a ‘negative influence’ on the Indian team in the lead-up to the Tokyo Olympics by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) president Raninder Singh, will be accompanying the junior national pistol team as the chief coach during the Junior World Championship later this month.

Headlined by Olympian Manu Bhaker, a team of 36 pistol shooters – 18 boys and 18 girls – will compete in eight events at the junior worlds that will be held in Lima, Peru, starting September 27. Raninder had also mentioned a rift between Bhaker and Rana, which he said could have impacted the teenage shooter’s performance in her maiden Olympics.

HiIndia Newsdesk “As long as a team is performing while on the crease, the question of change in captaincy doesn’t arise,” Shah told The Indian Express. His comment comes in the wake of media reports predicting split captaincy in the days to come.

It has been suggested that Kohli will be making way for his deputy at the T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma, in the game’s shorter versions to focus exclusively on Test cricket as far as captaincy is concerned.

Dead bugs A dead bug works on stabilizing your core muscles, as well as your spine and back muscles - all important for good posture. Perform 20 of these, 10 reps on each side.

Sit down all-day

Best exercises to do You’ve probably already heard that sitting is the new smoking, but if your job requires you to sit behind a screen all day, what can you do to help alleviate the effects on your body? Experts reckon that sitting more than three to four hours a day can increase a person's risk of serious diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as cause posture problems and lead to muscle tightness. So where’s the good news? As well as investing in a standing desk, or heading out for a walk on your lunch break, there is more you can do to help alleviate the effects of all that sitting. To help, we’ve rounded up some of the best exercises to add to your post-work routine.

Plank Although you might dread the plank section of your workout, they are a good way of working your core as well as your upper and lower body. A strong core has been shown to reduce lower back pain, which is often associated with prolonged sitting.

Start by attempting to hold a plank position for 30 seconds, and gradually increase this to longer intervals as you get stronger.

A

s well as simply standing more during the day, exercises that focus on strengthening the posterior (or back) part of your body should be key in your workout routine. Your back, your glutes, and your hamstrings are all at risk of weakening or tightening if you spend too much time sitting down. You should also look at exercises that will stretch the anterior muscles along the front of your body — we’re talking about your hip flexors and your pelvis — as this can help counteract the tightness and help with your posture.

Glute bridge The glutes are the biggest muscle in the body, and spending a prolonged period of time just sitting on them means they’re not being activated or worked at all. This, in turn, can make your hip flexor muscles tighter, causing compression in the lower back, which can lead to back pain. To fire up your glutes, try practicing glute bridges.

Aim to do 10-15 repetitions. If this feels too easy, or you really want to challenge yourself, try doing single-leg glute bridges instead.

Kettlebell squat Another exercise that targets most of the muscles in your posterior, a kettlebell squat activates your hamstrings, glutes, calves, and lower back muscles, as well as your quads and your core. If you don’t have a kettlebell or a pair of dumbbells, try using something heavy, like a backpack filled with books, or milk cartons filled with water. Aim for 12 to 15 repetitions.

Mountain climbers Mountain climbers target the shoulders, hamstrings, triceps, quads, and core — all areas of the body that are important for good posture. Aim to do 20 to 30 reps, with 10 to 15 on each side.

India Couture Week: the sin of sameness The recently-concluded India Couture Week with its luxurious settings and royal themes has thrown up important questions on why we aren’t diversifying and creating new markets

I

f there’s one thing that the video presentations at the recentlyconcluded India Couture Week said as one, it is that the designers have been thinking grand. From Falguni & Shane taking their collection to the Taj Mahal (a true feat, considering how famously inimical the babus at the ASI can be) to Gaurav Gupta’s Universal Love show shot at the Taj Falaknuma Palace in Hyderabad, this season was all about

location, location, location.

Shantanu & Nikhil shot their lineup, Oasis, at Suryagarh in Jaisalmer. Varun Bahl’s Memory / Mosaic came alive at the Andaz Aerocity and Anju Modi’s The Eternal Story unfolded at The Banyan Farm, both on the outskirts of the Capital.

Rahul Mishra’s Kam-Khab had its outing at a 300-year-old haveli in Mandawa, Rajasthan.

Designer Kunal Rawal and Sonam Kapoor

From Tarun Tahiliani’s ICW collection

[friends] don’t believe me,” she was quoted as saying by the magazine while speaking about her single status.

The 41-year-old athlete, however, said that she often gets comments from friends about running out of time. “They say things like: ‘You’re going to miss your window,’. I’m like: ‘Please, relax. You might feel this way, but I don’t. I promise you I don’t.’” Responding to Williams’s approach, podcast host Jemele Hill told the magazine, “There’s this sort of quiet resistance that Venus always carries herself with.” Hill added, “She’s chosen to live her life so unapologetically and I think there’s a beauty in that. Especially when you think about these narratives about how Black women are desperate or lonely or how after a certain age, something is wrong with you if you aren’t getting married or having kids.

“The joy that she has both on the court and off it is kind of an indirect retaliation to that narrative. She just seems like somebody who’s just not pressed. I love that about her.” Williams also talked about how she does not believe in being in any situation that she finds “disrespectful”.

“It doesn’t have to be yelling or screaming. I’m not a combative person. I’m never going to let any situation change that, because I want to look back and know that I stayed true to who I am. So come. Come for me if you want to, but you won’t come again,” she further said.
