BC strikes agreement with China to stop illegal fentanyl trafficking VICTORIA (NEWS 1130) – The provincial government has announced the RCMP is working with the Chinese Ministry of Public Safety to help restrict the illegal trafficking of the powerful opioid here in BC. The move follows the premier’s visit to Ottawa last week when she urged the federal government to help the province. The feds said they acknowledged there was a problem but stopped just short of declaring a nationwide public health emergency — something that was declared in BC months ago. “This is a critical step that aligns with B.C.’s advocacy in our fight against the overdose crisis, and we welcome this swift action. Provincial and local enforcement will remain critical, but this is a step forward. We look forward to the same level of commitment from the federal government on a national
strategy to ban pill presses and precursors,� the province said in a statement. “We understand discussions to formalize joint investigations between the RCMP and China will begin next week during the ongoing Canada-China Working Group meeting between the
two agencies. We believe that by collaborating with our international and federal partners, enforcement will ultimately be stronger across all our provincial and international borders.� Initially the province said it had reached the deal, but the Mounties say
they did. The RCMP claims it reached the deal after Commissioner Bob Paulson and the vice-minister of China’s public security ministry met this week and agreed to boost enforcement efforts to disrupt the flow of the drug and other opioids. This past spring, BC became the first province in the country to declare a public health emergency following a dramatic spike in overdose deaths related to the use of drugs such as fentanyl. Opioids include prescription painkillers such as oxycodone and morphine as well as illegal street drugs like heroin. The BC Coroners Service says between January and the end of October, 622 people died of an overdose, compared to 397 for the same period of 2015. October had 63 deaths, six more than September and just slightly higher than the 61 monthly average.

B.C. government announces 68 affordable housing projects across the province
-By BC Local News The B.C. government has committed to creating close to 2,900 new affordable rental units, set to roll out in the next two years across the province. The units are apart of 68 housing projects, financed through a $516-million housing fund that was announced by Premier Christy Clark in
September to provide more housing for low-income, seniors, special needs individuals, aboriginals, woman and children. “It gives us the ability to make significant investments, put British Columbians first, and take immediate action to increase the rental supply in communities throughout B.C.," Clark said. Almost half of the units will be
Premier Clark's statement on the death of John Nuraney Premier Christy Clark issued the following statement on the death of former MLA John Nuraney: “When I think of John Nuraney, one word comes to mind: gentleman. “No matter the interaction, John Nuraney dealt with people in a way that made them feel important and honoured. He was a man who epitomized traits we don’t often hear used anymore: class, grace, and principled. “That spirit was a testament to who he was and was determined to always be. After having his business and assets seized by Mobutu Sese Seko’s corrupt government in Zaire, John saw a better life for his family halfway around the world and seized the opportunity.
built in the Lower Mainland, including Richmond, Whistler, and Surrey at the Centre for Family Development, where the announcement was made Tuesday morning. At the centre, a new 40-unit affordable housing development will be built to provide housing for low-to moderate-income single women with children with special needs. It's being built in partnership with YWCA Metro Vancouver, with $4.7 million coming from the province. The projects are estimated to produce 5,500 new jobs, Clark said. Housing minister Rich Coleman said non-profit organizations and municipalities could be seeing the money for these projects by the end of the fiscal year, with 12 to 24 months of construction to follow. He noted these some of these buildings will include wrap-around resources in the buildings such as addiction resources, mental-health workers and social workers. Housing critic questions long-term plan Despite Tuesday's announcement meaning potential relief for those struggling to find affordable housing, New Democrat Official Opposition spokesperson David Eby questions whether the Liberal's have a long-term plan in mind when it comes to a housing strategy. He described the projects as a "positive step, following years of neglect," and noted the date of the announcement as the next provincial election lingers. "It’s unfortunate that this is an election year promise" he said. "There's no long-range plan that extends beyond this election."

Abbotsford school stops charity giving due to religious concerns Dr. Thomas A. Swift Elementary will no longer participate in a program that sends gift boxes to kids in need around the world, due to the religious practices of the organizing charity. Operation Christmas Child (OCC) is an annual drive staged by Samaritan's Purse, an evangelical Christian organization. Participants in OCC pack shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene products and other items, which are shipped to kids in a dozen different countries. Swift students have participated in the program in past years but participation was pulled this year after the school's principal "became aware religious materials were being added to the shoeboxes," according to a district spokesperson. "This was decided in consideration of the district's administrative procedures and the B.C. School Act, which requires that public schools be operated as secular institutions," Kayla Stuckart said in an email. But there is no religious material added into the shoeboxes themselves, according to the Samaritan's Purse spokesperson Frank King. The shoeboxes are distributed to children who attend events put on by the organization, and Christian books and pamphlets are offered to, but not forced on, the kids afterwards, King said. In Muslim-majority west African countries, where many of the shoeboxes are handed out, the events are explicitly advertised as Christian and still attract strong turnouts, King said. Noah Lochbaum, a 12-year-old whose younger sister attends Swift Elementary, sent a letter to the district (which he shared with The News) expressing disappointment in the decision. "So basically you are saying we should help people as long as there is no mention of religion," he wrote. "Why can't we just do the right thing and look at the big picture: human beings caring about and helping other human beings?" Stuckart said Swift Elementary staff are looking at alternative options for charity participation around the Christmas season but will not do so through OCC. By Kelvin Gawley Abbotsford News

ICBC won't insure luxury cars, Stone says after forecast of steep rate hikes ICBC insurance premiums.
By - BC Local News Luxury supercars worth more than $150,000 will soon have to get private insurance and their owners will pay twice their current premiums to ICBC in the meantime.
Forecasted increases to ICBC's basic rates were also disclosed today in response to a B.C. Utilities Commission request for more information before approving a 4.9 per cent basic rate increase this year.
Transportation Minister Todd Stone made the announcement Wednesday at the same time the public auto insurer released a forecast indicating basic auto insurance premiums might have to climb as much as 42 per cent over five years because of skyrocketing claims costs. According to Stone, the move will ensure that "the broader rate payer is not subsidizing high-end cars.” Luxury cars like Ferraris and
Under the province's ratesmoothing legislation, each year's change in basic insurance rates can't be more than 1.5 per cent different from the previous year. The ICBC forecast shows basic rates are predicted to increase 6.4 per cent in 2017, 7.9 per cent in 2018, 9.4 per cent in 2019 and 7.9 per cent in 2020 – numbers that compound to 42 per cent when this year's 4.9 per cent hike is included. Stone called that an extreme scenario and ICBC had opposed the release, calling the numbers hypothetical and "potentially misleading."
Lamborghinis are six times more costly to fix. There are more than 3,000 high-end luxury cars insured in B.C., a number that has shot up 30 per cent over the past three years. Stone noted the average car in B.C. is worth only $15,000 – 10 times less than the new luxury car cutoff – but pays a similar basic insurance rate.

ICBC also released more optimistic rate increase scenarios that level off at four per cent annually in the next four years or even shrink down to one or two per cent per year. Those scenarios assume a decrease in fraudulent claims, distracted driving and rosier investment returns.
Stone admitted that neither the changes to luxury car coverage nor the B.C. government’s pledge to not take a dividend from ICBC over the next three years would do much to rein in the upward pressure on
Adrian Dix, the NDP critic on ICBC, dismissed Stone's announcement on luxury car insurance as a "tactic" to deflect attention from the projected rate hikes. "This is them being caught red-

handed with their failed rate policy and trying to find a distraction," he said. Dix said ICBC would be on much better financial footing and drivers wouldn't be facing big premium increases had the provincial government not taken $1.2 billion worth of dividends out of ICBC's optional insurance business for general revenue over the last several years. "The government has scooped money out of ICBC," Dix said. "What we're seeing are the consequences of Christy Clark treating ICBC as a bank machine. And it's drivers who are going to pay." As for luxury insurance reform, Dix said the government could have passed that months ago if it was a serious priority, adding that luxury car repair costs are a minor contributor to ICBC expenses compared to the soaring costs of bodily injury claims. He also noted that making supercar owners get private insurance won't prevent ICBC from picking up their repair bills if another ICBC-insured motorist is at fault in a crash.
Mayor John Tory to support road tolls Mayor John Tory is poised to throw his support behind imposing tolls on the Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway, the Toronto Sun has learned. Tory will announce he’s ready to target drivers on the city’s highways when he unveils possible “revenue tools” — new taxes and fees — during a speech to the Toronto Board of Trade on Thursday. A source told the Toronto Sun the mayor is “dedicated to building transit and infrastructure.” While the city has been reviewing many possible ways of generating cash — including a hotel tax and the sell off of assets — road tolls are likely the most controversial. Right-wing councillors, who traditionally support Tory, will be the most likely to oppose the measure. Those on the left are most likely to welcome the move. The city has $30 billion worth of projects, including Tory’s SmartTrack surface rail project and other transit lines, that it has no money to pay for. The move towards road tolls is somewhat of a flip-flop for Tory, who has in past years opposed or been luke warm to the idea of hitting up drivers for using roads already paid for with taxes. -TORONTO SUN STAFF

Surrey man charged with four offences following Coquitlam shooting
COQUITLAM, B.C.–Multiple firearms charges have been laid against a 28-yearold man following a drive-by shooting in Coquitlam, B.C. RCMP say Jonathan Fall is a suspect in a targeted shooting on Oct. 10, when shots were fired into an unoccupied vehicle. Police say whoever fired the shots escaped in a vehicle, which was located a short time later in Surrey, where a driver and passenger were arrested. Fall was taken into custody on Nov. 18 and charged with four offences, including careless use of a firearm. He is scheduled to appear in provincial court next Monday. RCMP say additional charges are possible and any witnesses should contact police. -By Canadian Press - BC Local News

Five women in running to appear on next bank note OTTAWA -Two activists, a poet, an engineer and an athlete are on the short list of five women whose image could appear on the next new series of Canadian bank notes due out in 2018. The Bank of Canada released the list ahead of an announcement on Dec. 8 when the winner will be chosen. The short list includes Viola Desmond, who fought racial discrimination in Nova Scotia, Pauline Johnson, a poet who was the daughter of a Mohawk chief and an English woman, and Elsie MacGill, the first woman in Canada to receive a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and a master's degree in aeronautical engineering. Also on the list is track and field athlete Bobbie Rosenfeld, who won a silver and gold medal at the 1928 Olympics and went on to become a sports columnist, and Idola SaintJean, a feminist and pioneer in the fight for suffrage in Quebec.
Short list: Viola Desmond - Activist E. Pauline Johnson/Tekahionwake - Poet Elizabeth (Elsie) MacGill - Engineer Fanny (Bobbie) Rosenfeld - Athlete Idola Saint-Jean-Suffragette and activist The Bank of Canada says the list was selected from 461 eligible nominees submitted by Canadians. An independent advisory council
reduced that to a long list of 12 before further cutting the number to five for consideration by Finance Minister Bill Morneau. The central bank says that in compiling the short list the council agreed the final five best articulated the criteria including having broken or overcome barriers, making a significant change, leaving a lasting legacy, and being inspirational.

RCMP won't be charged in 2015 arrest -By Surrey North Delta Leader Three Surrey RCMP officers will not be charged in relation to an arrest last year that caused a man to break his leg. On Feb.. 28, 2015, Surrey Mounties responded to a 911 call from a landlord whose tenant was "trashing" the downstairs suite, according to a release by the B.C. Criminal Justice Branch. "The scene when they arrived was described as chaotic," according to a summary of a decision by the justice branch. "The suspect, a large adult male, was screaming and swearing,
yelling at the officers that he wanted to be left alone. He appeared to be under the influence of some form of intoxicant." Police found the room he occupied was in a shambles, with broken glass strewn about the floor. After a short time the suspect agreed to leave. However, once he reached the awaiting ambulance, he had a change of heart. "He began pushing and shoving at the officers to the point where he needed to be taken to the ground so that the officers could restrain his feet," the decision states. He suffered injuries to his nose and broke his right femoral head (top of the leg bone).
The suspect launched a complaint and charges of assault causing bodily harm were considered against the officers. Officials with the justice branch found that the officers were acting within their normal duties, but had to determine whether reasonable force was used under the circumstances, or whether it was excessive. "The use of physical restraint and force to gain compliance with police directions falls within the range of reasonable force options available to police who are faced with an arrestee who is attempting to resist a lawful arrest."

Massey Tunnel unsafe for crash responders: report •By Jeff Nagel - BC Local News The constraints of the George Massey Tunnel don't reliably allow for rapid or safe emergency response to crashes, according to a report by Delta first responders. The findings are being brandished by Transportation Minister Todd Stone as further evidence of the benefits of the proposed new toll bridge to replace the tunnel. "The report details just how difficult and dangerous it is to provide an emergency response in the confines of the tunnel," Stone said. "It notes instances of where first responders have had to walk in to help people, or carry in jaws-of-life and other equipment as their vehicles couldn't get close." Access is limited both by chronic congestion and the lack of a shoulder lane so fire trucks or ambulances can bypass other traffic, according to the report. "This can cause significant delays in the provision of critical care," the Delta report said, citing cases where crews couldn't get close enough except on foot, or where they had to wait for traffic to clear the counterflow lane. There are an average of 300 crashes
Sudoku Solutions for last Issue a year at the Massey Tunnel, more than 40 per cent higher than the provincial average for other stretches of highway, and the crash rate is double the provincial average for northbound traffic. A fire in the tunnel can threaten crash victims, the report said, and also pose health and safety risks for emergency responders, who have had to enter the tunnel despite heavy black smoke on some occasions. It gave the example of a fatal collision involving a car explosion that filled the tunnel with smoke. "Responding police officers could not breathe due to the smoke, resulting in
delays and health concerns for officers." The tunnel is not expected to withstand a major earthquake, while the transportation ministry says the new bridge would be built to modern seismic standards. Stone said more space and better sightlines on the bridge are expected to reduce crashes by 35 per cent, and allow faster and safer emergency response.

Overeating may increase risk of liver disease
inclusive | innovative | independent
Washington D.C [USA], (ANI): Obesity is associated with liver disease, finds a study published in Cell Metabolism journal. A team led by Mitchell Lazar, MD, PhD, director of the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, revealed a surprising relationship between two molecules - one that works to store fat and another that promotes fat burning for energy. The team found that the molecules complement each other to maintain a healthy level of fat in the liver. When both molecules are removed from the liver, there is a swift buildup of toxic fats that causes an aggressive and lethal form of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in mice. The findings are an important discovery that could inform animal models for studying obesity and new drugs that reverse or prevent liver damage stemming from overeating. When fat enters the body after a meal, it's absorbed by the liver and either put away for safe storage in the form of triglycerides or it's
immediately metabolized for energy. The decision to burn or store fat depends on a number of factors, but the study found that the enzyme histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) and another protein SREBP are two critical regulators of this decision. Earlier studies from the Lazar lab and others showed that disruption of either regulator causes problems in the liver: When HDAC3 is deleted experimentally from this system, fat piles up in the liver, but toxic fat is sequestered as triglycerides and
therefore is relatively better-tolerated. Alternately, take SREBP away, and toxic fats get burned up and converted to energy. Take both away, and "the results are catastrophic," Lazar said. The mice had a dramatic inability to store triglycerides or burn excess fat safely in the liver. "Based on what we first knew about these two molecules, we were expecting a tug of war that would fall somewhere in between if we took them both away, either too little fat or
y
p
too much in the liver," Lazar said. "Instead, it led to an accumulation of toxic fat and a complete energy drain on the mice that caused inflammation, liver damage, and ultimately death." The two molecules are back-up systems for each other, rather than a balance, as the team previously thought. "It's really two molecular pillars holding up a central 'building' to prevent liver toxicity," he added. "This work shows that on a normal fat diet these two molecules hold down the fort in the mice." Taking away HDAC3 and SREBP in animal models could mirror the breakdown in the liver for investigators to study obesity and related liver diseases. "It's more of a physiological discovery than explaining a disease; however, there are practical and conceptual implications here," Lazar said. "These findings could serve as a model, in a short and acute way, of toxicity of fat in the liver that we can use to look for drugs that target these molecules to reverse or stop the damage," he added.(ANI)

"We know walking is an excellent form of exercise, but research has been mixed on how successful a walking program can be in changing biological markers such as cholesterol, weight, blood pressure," said Pamela Stewart Fahs, associate dean, professor, and Dr. G. Clifford and Florence B. Decker. Fahs guided Elisabeth Marigliano, PhD student, as they conducted a study on a group of 70 women. The subjects were tested as part of their volunteer participation in a community walking program.

Clinton’s lead over Trump is 1.7M votes and growing with millions of ballots left to count WASHINGTON POST Donald Trump will be only the fourth president in American history to take office having lost the popular vote (what in almost every other democracy they refer to as “the vote”) — and Hillary Clinton’s lead is large and growing. As of the most recent count, Clinton has received 1.7 million more votes than Trump. In fact, she received
more votes than any presidential candidate in history not named Barack Obama. And it’s not over yet. On Friday, the California Secretary of State’s office reported that the state still has 2.8 million ballots left to count, mostly because mail-in ballots take time to arrive and there are significant numbers of provisional ballots to examine as well. Clinton won California by an almost 2-1 margin, and if the remaining ballots reflect the same split, her final
popular vote lead over Trump could reach 2.5 million. That’s five times as large as the margin by which Al Gore beat George W. Bush in the popular vote in 2000. Legally speaking, that fact is irrelevant. But the fact that a couple million more Americans chose Clinton to be their president is highly relevant to Trump’s legitimacy. Unless there’s some kind of dramatic shift in the next two months, Trump will take office as the most disliked, least trusted president in modern history. How will that affect the way he conducts himself in office?
What sort of effort will he make to unite the country? And is his image among the public really that bad? Trump’s favourability has ticked up since the election, but is still significantly below other presidents. The Politico/Morning consult poll shows him at 46 per cent, while Gallup shows him at 42 per cent. At this time in previous transitions, the president-elect’s favourability was significantly higher: Bill Clinton was at 58 per cent in 1992, George W. Bush was at 59 per cent in 2000, and Barack Obama was at 68 per cent in 2008. The idea that a new president could take office with a majority of Americans disliking him was unheard of before now. A new Pew Research Center poll shows 53 per cent of Americans saying Trump’s election makes them “uneasy.” Pew also asked respondents to give the candidates a letter grade for how they conducted themselves during the campaign. Forty-three per cent gave Hillary Clinton an “A” or a “B,” consistent with what other losing candidates have gotten since they started asking the question in 1988. Only 30 per cent gave Trump an “A” or a “B,” the worst ever. The previous low mark for a winner was George H.W. Bush’s 49 per cent in 1988. In 2008, 75 per cent gave high marks to Obama. In a separate Gallup poll, by 4944 per cent, more Americans say Trump will divide the country than unite it. This too is much worse than what Americans predicted for previous presidents. In normal circumstances, a minority president might take it as a strong suggestion to tread carefully — not just to “reach out” to the other party by appointing one or two of its members to his Cabinet or by inviting its congressional leadership over for dinner, but to govern with an awareness that most Americans still need to be convinced that his presidency will be something other than a disaster. That means moving carefully, making efforts to assure the people who voted against you that they won’t be victimized by your presidency, and not undertaking sweeping, disruptive changes that the public isn’t behind. That’s not something any president is going to be inclined to do, since they all would like to believe that a win by any margin, even a negative one, constitutes a “mandate” for them to follow up on everything they proposed doing during the campaign, whether those individual proposals were popular or not. And you’d have to work hard to find someone less inclined to trim his sails than Donald Trump.

Don’t Fall Victim to Financial Distress Caused by Credit Card Debt
Credit counseling is the easiest, most effective way to explore the options for credit card debt and identify the best solution for your needs.

'Tum Bin 2' won't suffer due to demonetisation feels Anubhav Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha says he is facing issues as far as cash is concerned in his personal life, but he is sure his forthcoming release "Tum Bin 2" won't suffer due to the demonetisation move by the government. "Like any commoners, I am affected by demonetisation, but I am hopeful about my film. It won't suffer at the box office. As a major amount has been recovered, now I am looking forward to a good weekend collection," Sinha told IANS. "Tum Bin 2", produced by T-Series, is releasing on Friday. It is reportedly made on a budget of Rs 14.5 crore, including the cost of production as well as print and publicity. Interestingly, the film is said to have already recovered Rs 12 crore from its music, satellite and digital rights sale. So, recovering the remaining amount, is not a big task for the
producers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to scrap Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes has affected ticket sales of movies.
Asked about his opinion about the government's decision, Sinha said: "I don't have enough knowledge to comment on that, or analyse the bigger
Nobody has been replaced, 'Dear Zindagi' releasing as it is: Alia Rubbishing rumours about Pakistani actor Ali Zafar's replacement, actor Alia Bhatt confirmed that her multi-starrer upcoming film "Dear Zindegi" as it is. "Nobody has been replaced and the film is releasing as it is," said Alia to a query about Ali's replacement while she was attending the cover launch of magazine Absolute Elyx Filmfare Glamour and Style here on Monday. The cover of the magazine features Absolute Elyx Glamour and Style award winners like Sidhharth Mahadevan, Kajol, Tiger Shroff and Karan Johar to name a few. Alia was the
winner of Trendsetter of the Year Award. Asked which dress she finds sexy, she said: "I think pajama will look sexy on me, over bikini. Fashion is not about showing skin but attitude. So I will choose pajama!" Rumours had it that Ali has been replaced by Tahir Raj Bhasin followed by the ban on Pakistani actors in Indian film. However, Alia's statement clears the air on the issue. About her character in the film, she said: "Dear Zindegi is the closest to my character, I can relate to the character so much. By Santa Banta News Network

The film also features actors, singers and media presenters Raj and Pablo -- often called the Bollywood ambassadors for Britain -- in the song "Hindustani Girl". They are "extremely delighted with the innovative collaboration". "We have known Anubhav Sinha for a few years now and think highly of his prolific filmmaking penchant.

Superstardom will have new concept: Shraddha Kapoor
Actress Shraddha Kapoor feels social media platforms will pave the way for a new concept of superstardom for young talent in the Indian film industry. "Superstardom will have a new concept. When you see Mr Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna and other veteran actors, I feel that time was different and today's stardom will be different. We have social media and we can reach out to our fans through our mobile phones... It is awesome. I get to read messages on my Twitter. It's a nice feeling," Shraddha said here. The actress' latest release is "Rock On 2", and her next project is "Haseena", a movie on Haseena Parkar and her brother, notorious gangster Dawood Ibrahim. Shraddha says she is watching some video footage featuring Haseena to get the nuances of the character right.

my family. Because they sponsored my family, they think my family now owes them to do whatever they want. I have tried to explain to them it’s not possible, as one of my brother has a girlfriend he loves and he wants to marry her and the other one doesn’t want to marry in India. But they refuse to listen. They keep ranting if my brothers don’t want to marry the girls, then they should do the marriage in paper only so that the girls can come to Canada. Three times in the last year and half my husband has kicked me out of the house. He told me if my family doesn’t want to have relationship with his family by helping to sponsor their relatives from India then I should just go live with my family. Each time some family friends and relatives have helped to talk to them into taking me back. I have two small kids. And I don’t know what to do. Last time he left me with my family
for two months before his family agreed that I can come home. Again, it has started. Every day or other day he fights with me. Telling me how bad my family is. I fear one of these day he will again kick me out of the house. I don’t know what to do. Helpless in Surrey Dear Helpless in Surrey: What your husband and in-laws are asking your family to do is illegal. They could all go to jail for that. I hate to say this, but I will, as I am sure you already know this anyways. You have a loser for a husband. As long as you allow him and his family to abuse you this way, they will continue to do so. Tough as it is, it’s time to put a stop to this abuse. It’s not healthy for you or your young kids. You don’t say if he physically abuses you, but I can only assume he does. Clearly, tell your husband to stop this or you will make a report to the police and tell them what they have been doing to you and your family. Next time he asks you to leave, just pack your bag and go. Don’t come back. If your family can’t help you then ask your local women’s shelter for help. Try to record or write down everything that happens to you. If your husband beats you or
makes a threat on your life, make sure you let your doctor or someone in authority know. Any injury you receive due to abuse by your husband or your in-laws make sure to file a report with your doctor, so that it’s on file. It would also help your case to collect some evidence. Whatever you do, keep yourself and your kids safe. If you have a problem talking to the doctor or police then ask a relative or family friends to help you. See if you can record their demands on a tape recorder or on a camera. This will help you in the long run, should something happen. Don’t worry about the finances. If you need to live on your own you can apply for welfare assistance. Welfare department can help you with rent and grocery. Good Luck. And keep safe.

Not entering SRK's territory with 'Befikre': Ranveer Ranveer Singh on Tuesday said he was the first choice of Aditya Chopra for "Befikre" right from the beginning despite the director having Shah Rukh Khan star in all his three films he made in his near three-decade long career. "I am the least territorial person; I don't think I am entering anyone's territory. Adi sir wanted to make the film with me and I am involved in the project from its scripting. I am glad that my mentor has given me the opportunity to work under his direction. It's a big deal for me," said the actor at the launch of "You and I" song of "Befikre" here with Vaani Kapoor, his costar in the movie. "Befikre" is set to release next month. The film has three songs, composed by Vishal-Shekhar and written by Jaydeep Sahni. Earlier Ranveer worked with Aditya Chopra on "Ladies VS Ricky Bahl" where Chopra penned the story of the film. Noting that after Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, he is the only actor in Bollywood directed by Aditya Chopra and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, he said: "I am so proud and happy. I think I am lucky to get such opportunity. Though I want to work with big names of Bollywood, I also want to work with young directors and fresh idea." Through the film is grabbing

For Vaani, it is her second film after a gap of three years from her Bollywood debut in "Shuddh Desi Romance" (2013). Sharing the reason for this, she said: "Adi sir advised me to wait for the right film to come. Now that this film is ready to release, I think the wait was worth enough." As the film talks about new-age relationship of boys and girls where they have no time for love, asking about his opinion on the same, Ranveer said: "There is a generational shift on the perception and outlook of romantic relationship.

'Kaabil' was a beautiful journey: Hrithik Roshan Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan, who will next be seen on screen in "Kaabil", says filming the movie was a beautiful journey for him. Hrithik on Tuesday was here at the DLF Mall Of India to unveil the new collection of the Swiss luxury time piece brand Rado's Lightness Collection. He believes in the brand's philosophy that "if you can imagine, you can do it". "This is something I have based my life on. That if I can see it in my mind, then I can do it. It was even more amazing that I applied this when I played
a blind man in 'Kaabil'. It was a beautiful journey and I hope you all watch the film," he said. The 42-year-old actor hopes the audience can feel the character as deeply as he did while playing it on camera. "I hope when you see the movie, you will also feel what I was feeling in the film," said Hrithik, who features in the Sanjay Gupta directorial
with Yami Gautam. Talking about the film, Hrithik said: "It is about a man, who against all odds, finds the strength inside him to make his life the way he wants it to be." Produced by Hrithik's father Rakesh Roshan under their home banner FilmKraft Productions, "Kaabil" will release on January 26 next year. -By Santa Banta News Network

It all started off in the year 2008 when the cine goers (esp. youth) got treated to a cult and raw musical journey in the form of the Abhishek Kapoor directed film ROCK ON!! And after 8 long years, the makers have come up with the film's sequel titled ROCK ON 2. Will ROCK ON 2 prove to be a musical hit at the Box-Office, or will it lose its strings, let's analyze. ROCK ON 2 starts off with the voice over narration of 'KD' aka Killer Drummer aka Kedar Zaveri (Purab Kohli). The story then mirrors upon the distances covered by Magik band's members from the prequel till today. Aditya Shroff aka Adi (Farhan Akhtar) gets settled in Shillong to lead an isolated life as 'repentance' over a certain mistake. It is here that he finds peace by running his selfinitiated 'Farmers' Co-operative' and a school for the poor children. Even though 'Farmers' Cooperative' works selflessly towards the benefits of the farmers, it just does not go well with the local governing officer of that area. On the other hand, Joseph Mascarenhas aka Joe (Arjun Rampal) becomes a successful entrepreneur as well as a judge in one of the TV reality shows. One day, on the eve of Adi's birthday, the entire 'Magik' team springs up a surprise by paying him a visit in the North East to celebrate his birthday. Despite the happy mood, there looms an atmosphere of tension, anger, repentance and anxiety amidst everyone.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rock On 2â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Movie Review:
One fine day, 'Magik' sees the inclusion of a struggling musician Uday (Shashank Arora) along with Jiah Sharma (Shraddha Kapoor) as its new members. On the eve of the performance, Jiah chickens out on the stage itself and is unable to perform because of her father's resistance to western music. On the other hand, Adi's adopted village in Shillong gets gutted down due to a forest fire. And the money given by the Central
government for the welfare aid of the affected farmers gets gulped down by a corrupt government officer in Shillong. This is when Adi and his rock band plan to organize a rock concert in Shillong in order to highlight the plight of the helpless villagers. What is the reason for 'Magik's members never-ending guilt, do Adi and his band members become successful in their uphill task of organising a rock show amidst rock solid resistance from their area's officer, does Jiah's father accept her modern singing and what secret is Adi hiding from Jiah, is what forms the rest of the story. When ROCK ON 2's promos were released, it only rekindled many memories associated with its predecessor ROCK ON!! In reality, ROCK ON 2 sings an extremely different tune (in the literal sense). First things first. With absolutely no head or tail to the script (Pubali Chaudhuri, Abhishek Kapoor), the film lands up being a confused mishmash of too many things. Also, because of the lack of a strong and convincing storyline, the film simply flows all over the place without any 'direction'. None of the film's characters are well etched or defined, and hence they fail to build any emotional bond with the viewers. As a result of this, the viewers do not feel sympathetic or empathic towards any of the characters. As the film drags endlessly, one just cannot help feeling indifferent to the happenings on screen. In an attempt to incorporate multiple issues in the film's story, the film's writers land up meaninglessly infusing story angles like the social situation of the North East India, the divide between Indian and classical music, relationship struggles between father-daughter,
husband-wife and even a stalker and his target. The film's dialogues are very average with no outstanding one-liners. After having dabbled in advertising, Shujaat Saudagar makes his Bollywood debut as a director with ROCK ON 2. Without mincing any words, one has to admit that he has failed to present a credible story. He had no story idea to take his characters go on a journey. Most lead characters seem to have moved on in life and are forcefully brought in together to make a sequel. Shujaat Saudagar definitely has a long way to go as far as storytelling in feature films is concerned. As for the film's performances, the film solely focuses on Farhan Akhtar. He tries his best to hold this mess together, but, after a point, he too seems to give up. His character is so delusional that he probably needs therapy rather than a guitar! Mind you, we are not joking when we say that. ROCK ON 2 focuses only on Farhan Akhtar's character, who is eternally confused and that too... for no credible reason! His character in the film gets so depressing and illogical, that even his on-screen wife (Prachi Desai) refuses to take it any longer. Arjun Rampal, on the other hand, is completely wasted and looks totally disinterested in the film. It's a real pity because Arjun Rampal had won a National award for the prequel (ROCK ON!!) of this same film. Purab Kohli tries to bring in some genuine emotion, but, because he barely gets any space, his attempts go wasted. On the other hand, there's Shraddha Kapoor, who looks endlessly lost in the film. She never gets a grip on her poorly written character Jiah, who is just wandering around in the film. All of these only add to the mess called ROCK ON 2. Other actors like Shashank Arora, Prachi Desai, Shahana Goswami and Kumud Mishra also barely manage to exist in this confused script. For a film like ROCK ON 2, one expects a mind-blowing music album (Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy) with chartbuster tracks. Sadly, there's not a single track that stays back with you. The pace of the film is so slow, that even its music doesn't help. The film's background music is average. While the film's cinematography (Marc Koninckx) is average, editing (Anand Subaya) could've been tighter. On the whole, ROCK ON 2 has no story, no good music and no entertainment value. With its slow paced narrative, limited buzz and the demonetisation move by the Indian Government, the film will be a disaster at the Box-Office. -By Santa Banta News Network

4 nutritious eating tips for your next holiday party and then switching to something low calorie for the rest of the evening,â&#x20AC;? says Wang.
(NC) Around this time of year, eating and drinking a little too much seems like a holiday tradition, but going too wild can make it difficult to get back on track in January. Here, Jessica Wang, registered dietitian at Loblaws, shares her top four tips to survive your next holiday party without falling off the food wagon. 1. Try to go easy on the high-fat foods. Pastries, pies, sausages, and creambased soups or sides are delicious, but they're often high in calories or fat. Given the choice, leaner meats like turkey or chicken are good alternatives to red meat. If you're doing the cooking, you can also make some simple ingredient swaps like egg whites instead of eggs, low-fat yogurt instead of sour cream, and flour combined with skim milk instead of cream. 2. Make smart beverage choices.
3. Stick to your eating routine and don't skip meals. Planning your meals, getting a balanced breakfast and lunch, and snacking before you leave will help keep your appetite in check at the party. Registered dietitians at grocery stores like Loblaws and Zehrs are a great free resource to help you plan nutritious meals and snacks that will leave you feeling satisfied.
Try to alternate between one alcoholic drink and one glass of water. Just two cups of traditional eggnog may have as many as 500 calories. Stick to
dry wine, low-cal beer, or spirits with calorie-free mixers like diet or club sodas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I typically recommend having one glass of a higher-calorie beverage
4. Everything in moderation. It's okay to eat seasonal sweets and indulge now and again. Whether it's those chocolate-dipped shortbread cookies or a candy cane, remember to take a responsible portion and get the most out of your favourite seasonal treats by slowing down and really savouring the taste.
Reduce holiday stress by managing your debt (NC) While the holidays are mostly a wonderful time of the year, they can also be stressful. It's not just the last minute shopping, overcooked turkey, and tangled lights that take the fun out of the season, but gift giving can also get expensive, especially for families. Who doesn't feel the pressure of hosting perfect meals and buying everyone just the right thing? It all adds up. So how do you get through the festivities with minimal financial stress? Being in control of your spending is one
2015. Canadians are falling behind on managing their money in general. The holidays are a good time to revisit your finances. They're also a good opportunity to teach your children about saving, smart spending, budgeting and knowing the difference between what you need and what you want. Top tips for staying on track include having a realistic budget, paying off your credit card in full to avoid credit card interest costs, and adjusting your shopping list.
important way of reducing this pressure. It seems intuitive to spend within your means. But the reality is that Canadians are saving less and spending more, which has led to record rates of household debt. Average household savings were 4 per cent of disposable income by the end of

How to get your credit report (NC) Anyone who has used a credit card, owns a cell phone with a major carrier, pays bills, or has taken out a loan has a credit report. But do you know what's in your file? Your credit report contains information you should know about. If you have poor credit history, it could be harder to get a credit card or loan. You might have to pay more to borrow money. Your credit history can also be used by employers and landlords to check your reliability. Your credit report could also contain mistakes or reveal signs of identity theft. A recent survey by Equifax Canada shows that 53 per cent of Canadians have been a victim of financial fraud. Just as you change snow tires each year, it's a good idea to check your credit report annually, according to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's really important to protect your money against fraud,â&#x20AC;? advises Jane Rooney, Canada's financial literacy leader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Check your credit report regularly to make sure no one has taken out a new form of credit in your name.â&#x20AC;? You can get your credit report for free. Check out the FCAC's website, itpaystoknow.gc.ca, for resources to help you understand your credit report, correct errors, and order your credit report and score.

Reduce school stress by starting with a budget (NC) Going to university or college is an exciting time. It's also expensive, especially if you're living on your own for the first time. Managing studies and your money at the same time can be overwhelming. But the best thing to do is make a budget and stick to it. As a student, you might be adjusting to a new city. You have exams, roommates, and a social life to juggle. Maybe you have a part-time job. No matter how busy it gets, make time to create a budget. It'll reduce your stress in the long run and start you on a good financial path. In 2013 and 2014, the average annual cost of tuition at a Canadian university was $5,772, according to Statistics Canada. Books and materials can add as much as $800 to $1,000 per year. Keep in mind your student costs are likely to rise over the years. It's a big investment, but research shows that students who organize their spending are more likely to avoid a heavy debt load upon graduation. If you don't have a budget, you're not alone. In fact, Canadians aged 18 to 24 are the least likely to have one. Yet 93 per cent of people with a budget stay within it most of the time. Creating a budget is as simple as tracking money coming in and going out. It will help you to figure out the
difference between what you need versus what you want â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and what you can afford. You don't have to start from scratch. The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada has online tools like a budget tool, tips, and a student worksheet that's easy to use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A budget is the best way to deal with the number one stressor: money,â&#x20AC;? advises Jane Rooney, Canada's financial literacy leader. Her top tips include reviewing it
regularly as life changes, setting up a spending plan for student loan money over the semester so you don't run out before the term ends, and planning for unexpected costs such as repairs to your computer or buying books that weren't on the list at the beginning of the semester. Budgeting is a life-long skill that will help as you get your first paycheque, buy a home and invest in your future. Remember that you're never too young to get started.

5 tips to help you downsize
3. Multifunctional pieces: downsizing, remember that many of your existing furniture pieces can serve more than one purpose. For example, you can combine the dining room and home office functions with a singly multipurpose table and using half of your buffet to store dinnerware and the other half to conceal paperwork.
(NC) Whether you're moving to a smaller new home or looking to make your current one feel larger, freeing up usable space is always a good idea. It's even more important during the holiday season to accommodate guests and gifts. But sometimes expert help is necessary to decide what to toss and what's worth keeping. Tara Fingold, a Toronto-based interior designer, has been helping clients get the most out of their homes for over 20 years. Here are her top five recommendations for getting rid of clutter when downsizing in order to maximize your space and streamline your life:
1. Repositioning pieces: furniture in a room according to its function makes sense, but sometimes it's best to get creative and reposition traditional pieces in untraditional ways. A living room chest of drawers could serve as a nightstand and provide you with additional storage in the bedroom.
4. Built-ins: One of the best space-saving measures is to install floor to ceiling built-ins. It may be a big investment, but it'll provide you with lots of storage and increase the value of your home. Be sure to customize the unit according to your individual needs. 2. Books: If all your treasured books are taking up too much space, use a few favourites as dĂŠcor. Place large hardcover books on a coffee table and add a decorative item on top of the stack for a true designer look. Opt for a
cleaner aesthetic by removing the jackets from used books and line shelves both vertically and horizontally, leaving room for decorative elements like vases and candles between stacks. Save tons of space by storing books that don't fit in digital format on a Kobo eReader.
5. Purging: Only keep what you use on a regular basis and what you can store. Although we tend to collect pieces over time, it's best to only keep what you need. Real estate is very costly, so be mindful to maximize every square foot.
How to care for your pet in winter (NC) The harsh winter can affect our pets the same ways it affects us, so it's important to consider the well-being of our furry family members throughout the season. Sure, bundling Milo up in a doggy parka might make for an adorable Instagram post, but there's a lot more you can do to maintain your pet's health this winter. Here are some tips: Help him counter the elements. Your pet's fur is his best defense against the cold dry air. Keeping his coat healthy will go a long way in protecting him from winter's bite. Fortunately, some of the same methods you use to keep your skin and hair healthy can help your pet too. Both
omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids help nourish the skin and coat. If your pet is scratching more than usual or his fur is visibly dry and dull, he may not be getting enough fatty acids from his diet and a supplement formulated for pets may be a good idea. The salt and other chemicals commonly used to treat roads and sidewalks during the snowy months can also cause the skin on your pet's paws to become dry and itchy and even begin to crack. A daily dose of omega-3 will go help with this as well. You may also want to consider biotin, a natural health product for pets that can help strengthen keratin in skin
and fur. Part of the B-complex vitamins essential for many body systems, biotin
has been shown to be particularly good at supporting healthy and luxurious fur. Reevaluate his diet. It's always important for dogs to get daily exercise so unless there's extreme weather, don't let a little bit of cold stop you from going for a walk. Remember that just like humans, dogs bodies burn more calories and require more energy to keep warm during winter so consider increasing your pup's food intake a bit. Some processed pet foods can contain allergens that can contribute to skin problems and obesity. Instead try exploring whole food options at your local natural health store to find pet foods made with quality ingredients. While there, inquire about a quality multivitamin that can help your pet get some of the nutrients that may be missing from his diet. Although these supplements may sound familiar, keep in mind that your daily dose is optimized for humans so look for products specifically formulated for pets.
