DIRECTOR'S NOTE!
A
from the ones closest to us; those that have grown to become extended family in our new home. But this summer will prove to be a very difficult one as we prepare to bid farewell to several good friends that will be dearly missed.
“Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.”
EDITOR IN CHIEF Mahra Saeed Al Muhairi ENGLISH EDITOR Charmaine Myburgh ARABIC EDITOR / SENIOR TRANSLATOR Diana Joudieh SENIOR GRAPHIC DESIGNER & PHOTOGRAPHER Jhun Estrellado DISTRIBUTION MANAGER Joe Mathew ADVERTISING advertising@thesourceuae.com
s an expat living abroad for the last 5 years I have become accustomed to a lifestyle chalked full of adventures and shared with an eclectic collection of friends from all corners of our great planet.
People meet by chance and become friends by choice. They are the brothers and sisters we choose and parting with these familial souls, as painful as it may seem, should be a constant reminder of the associated laughter and joy that will undoubtedly remain in our hearts all the days of our lives.
As many of you know, my wife is a teacher and every summer many contracts expire for various educators and may or may not be renewed. The point is that in a few short weeks, friends and families will be saying good-bye to one another, perhaps, indefinitely. Tears will flow as preparations are made with heavy hearts to place oceans and continents between them.
It's really amazing when two strangers become the best of friends, but it's equally sad when the best of friends become two strangers. This is by far the most important piece of advice that all friends should share. If you have good friends, honour, respect and cherish them; a good friend is for life and in todays ever shrinking world, a separation by distance should in no way become a fatal blow to any true friendship.
For the past 5 years we have been busy making friends and spared the discomfort of separation
CONTRIBUTORS Hannah Hall, Sherri Frost, David Korten Linda Gilmour, Sara Montgomery
So if you are saying good-bye this year, remember that it is the moments not the days in life that we remember and whether or not we see each other again, those very special moments along with the people who charged them will remain in our hearts and minds forever!

People Who Took Their Backyard Fences To Another Level
"Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. " Elbert Hubbard
FAKEHA Means Fruits. So if you want to say, I like all kinds of fruits, you say: Ehebo kol anwaa Al FAKEHA.
Fences are the poor man's wall: they might not prevent someone from trespassing, but they'll certainly imply that you would rather that they didn't. Or as Robert Frost put it in his poem, “Mending Wall,” "Good fences make good neighbours." But does that mean you can become a better neighbour by making a better fence? Maybe!
Bored Panda has put together this list of fantastic fences to inspire you, dear neighbours, to be even better. Have a fence but no neighbour on the other side? Put a bird on it, and watch potential neighbours flock to set up shop next door! Or, if a bird doesn't do the trick, then check out some of these radical fences.

MAY 04 - SEP 04, 2016 WAREHOUSE421 , ABU DHABI
Hailed as one of the world’s leading Spanish contemporary sculptors, Mascaró will present an exhibition of boats made from rusted iron and oxidised bronze, with an 18 meter life-size ship out at the front entrance and 26 boats of different sizes taking up the indoor gallery space. The works touch on ideals of Abu Dhabi’s traditional relationship as a historical port-city through the visual and textual components that refer to the sea, trade and histories - words which are significant and synonymous to the capital emirate.
In addition to the works on display, Warehouse421 aim to take visitors on a behind-the-scenes journey into Mascaró’s studio. The exhibition will include a selection of his drawings, models, and interviews that demonstrate the artist’s process of creation. As a tribute to the UAE’s ancestry of sailing, sea trade and maritime antiquity, Departure will also present traditional Emirati poetry and imagery about the sea, where excerpts will provide insight into the sailors’ emotions of travelling, the longing, reuniting, and the mystery of the unknown out at sea, to his community back home.

Students were given the opportunity to enhance self-confidence, communication, critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration skills. Moreover, leadership and responsibility were also displayed as students explained their projects to parents and visitors with refined presentation skills.
Approximately 800 people visited the fair and expressed their excitement at witnessing ABZ younger generation students adapting to 21st century skills. “We really enjoyed participating in the competitions and the excitement of winning the many prizes” exclaimed Dana, a student at the fair.

ASK THE DOCTOR
Dr. Tim: I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. My general practitioner informed me that it is important to get regular eye exams. Why is this important with diabetes. If I don't, what could happen? Your primary care physician is correct; this is a very important concern for patients with diabetes. High levels of glucose in the blood from diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the retina at the back of the eye. This damage can cause leakage and swelling in the retina which can decrease vision. If the damage is severe enough, areas of the retina can lose the proper blood supply. New, poorly formed blood vessels can then grow in these areas. These new vessels have a high tendency to bleed or cause traction on the retina. These types of problems can cause significant, long-standing damage to the vision.Thankfully, we can determine if there are any changes to the retina with a simple eye exam where we dilate the eyes. If damage has occurred, we can offer treatment by placing medication inside the eye or with laser therapy. The earlier we detect problems from diabetes, the more likely it is that any needed treatment will be beneficial. It is vital for patients with diabetes to work closely with their primary care physician to control their blood glucose levels through diet, exercise, and proper medications and to see an ophthalmologist on a yearly basis to evaluate for any evidence of change in the retina.

UAE RESIDENTS URGED TO FIGHT OFF NEGATIVITY 999 REPORT
•
999 Magazine looks into the adverse effects of negative behaviour at the workplace and in the community in general
•
Failing to identify and deal with negativity can have a serious impact on productivity at work or even relationships at home
•
“It’s high time that people and companies realise that negativity would cripple any organisation. The UAE has strict laws and stiff penalties against spreading rumours and creating panic in the community, and companies should apply the same pattern in the workplace,” Lt. Col. Awadh Saleh Al Kindi, Editor-in-Chief of 999 s the UAE rolls out its happiness movement with the newly established Ministry of State for Happiness, focus is being shifted towards eradicating negativity, and everyone in the community has a role to play in making this happen, a report in the latest issue of the 999 Magazine says.
A
The 999 Magazine, the official monthly publication of the Ministry of Interior, tackles in its cover story how negative personalities thrive in the workplace and how people should deal with them. According to the 999 story, negative people, such as the grumps, the bossy, the lazy and the gossipers, hurt a team’s overall productivity and adversely influence work performance, decisionmaking, and creativity, amongst others. Worse, those most impacted by this negativity may find stress creeping into their family life, as they carry the emotional contagion home. Lt. Col. Awadh Saleh Al Kindi, Editor-in-Chief of 999, said: “It’s high time that people and companies realise that negativity would cripple any organisation. The UAE has strict laws and stiff penalties against spreading rumours and creating panic in the community, and companies should apply the same pattern in the workplace. Office gossips, for an instance, should never be tolerated because aside from causing distress to a person being talked about, it lowers the morale of the whole organisation to a great extent.” Al Kindi added: “While it is necessary to weed out the bad apples, it is more important to get to the bottom of the issue and understand how some people develop such unpleasant traits. “Don’t let people throw a dark cloud of negativism hanging over your head. It is important that we identify these naysayers amongst us and learn to deal with them; failing to do so can have a serious impact on our productivity at work or even relationships at home.” The report says the family is at the core of behavioural developments. A person usually doesn’t suddenly become a negative person as an adult; it starts quite early in life either from a natural disposition or from family circumstances. “Children who are brought up in socioeconomically and financially balanced and stable families, will be themselves balanced, and will positively affect their surroundings when they grow up,” said Dr Moza Ghobash, professor of sociology and Chairperson of the Rewaq Ousha bint Hussain Cultural Society. Whatever a person’s dominant character trait, it may become exaggerated under pressure, Human Development Adviser Abdullah Said bin Shamma explained in the cover story. “For example, if he’s originally an introvert, he’ll be more passive and reclusive. If he’s highly self-confident, he’ll tend to be express himself in a louder voice and in a more aggressive way,” Shamma also said. The 999 story digs deeper into the issue, highlighting other studies and expert insights. It also provides comprehensive guides on how to outgrow negative traits and handle people of different personalities. The English-language 999 magazine is a component of the Ministry of Interior’s strategic plan to provide media coverage for the activities and efforts of the Ministry and the Abu Dhabi Police. It also aims to encourage the public to contribute to the reduction of crime, the awareness campaigns and the enhancement of safety in the UAE.

ON THE INTERNATIONAL MIGRATORY BIRD DAY
EAD Highlights the Importance of Enhancing Conservation of Migratory Birds and their Habitats
A
Greater Spotted Eagle tagged in Al Wathba Wetland Reserve in Abu Dhabi reached southern Russia by 24th April as part of its spring migration to its potential breeding areas in Russia and Kazakhstan, according to the Environment Agency-Abu Dhabi (EAD). This is precisely the annual ritual migratory birds’ follow, arriving in the UAE during autumn and returning from midMarch onwards. The eagle was tagged in February 2016 as part of EAD’s effort to understand migration of important and threatened species. Like the Spotted Eagle, many other species
16
The Source
of birds that had arrived in large numbers at key and important sites across the country have returned back or are on their spring migration to the breeding grounds in the north. Species of birds ranging from waterbirds, to land birds and from small passerine to large raptors, all follow more or less similar annual pattern. Over 460 species of birds have been recorded in the country, and more than 75% are migratory. There are two distinct categories of migration, the one which comes during winter months largely from Europe and Central Asia to spend winter or to stopover en-route to wintering areas in Africa. The other type includes, a group of summer breeding birds, largely seabirds, which come from the Indian Ocean to breed. Due to these reasons, the bird
calendar remains busy throughout the year. Dr. Shaikha Salem Al Dhaheri, EAD’s Executive Director of the Terrestrial and Marine Biodiversity Sector, said: “EAD regularly monitors both migratory and resident birds across important sites in the Emirate. This is essential to document their numbers and trends as well as monitor the state of sites, said. While monitoring within protected areas helps us in improving and tailoring our management to the needs of migratory birds, monitoring other areas is important in identifying other important sites, which potentially could be protected in future. Unfortunately migratory birds are faced with many challenges ranging from habitat loss, hunting, illegal killing or taking, poisoning
and electrocution. Rapidly changing landscapes, urban and industrial expansion, particularly in the coastal areas make not only migratory, but also resident birds, highly vulnerable. Actions ranging from monitoring of migratory birds, to protecting their habitats, preventing illegal killing or taking are some of the urgent actions we need to take collectively. Protecting sites across the emirates to provide safe refuge to migratory birds is not an option but a necessity and we need strong partnerships between emirates, government and non-government organisations and civil society.” said Dr. Shaikha. Dr. Salim Javed, EAD’s Acting Director - Terrestrial Biodiversity said: “EAD also monitors long-distance migration of important bird species using satellite telemetry to understand their movement and migration patterns. Since 2005, the program has successfully tracked 12 different species of migratory waterbirds and raptors”. “Our satellite tracking and on the ground monitoring of migratory birds have provided invaluable scientific information on migration of some of the key migratory species, some for the very first time”, said Dr. Salim Javed. We need good science and strong commitment to further support conservation of migratory birds and their habitats, not only locally but also regionally, he further added.
MORE ABOUT BIRD MIGRATION •
Out of more than 460 species of birds recorded in the country, nearly 75% are migratory
•
Migratory birds in the UAE are of two main types, one which come during winter months largely from Europe and Central Asia to spend winter or stopover en-route to wintering areas in Africa
•
Not all the birds which come from Europe and Central Asia, spend winter in the UAE as there are a number of birds which are on passage in the UAE, stopping over for a brief period to refuel and rest, before continuing there with southward migration
•
Bird migration is an annual to and fro migration of birds from breeding areas to wintering areas
•
Birds use different strategies to undertake migration, some complete the migratory journey using several stops while some others fly non-stop between breeding and wintering areas
•
Bird migration is extremely challenging as birds have to undertake long journeys often covering several thousand kilometres perround trip
•
Birds have to overcome the odds of bad weather, unknown areas, hunting and other factors
•
Nearly 20% of all the 9500 species found globally are migratory

HEALTH & LIFESTYLE
THE TRAGER© APPROACH:
LET GO OF TENSION IN THE MIND AND BODY
A
s children, our bodies are flexible and unrestricted. However, poor postural habits, injuries and stress can cause us to develop unconscious patterns of physical tension over time: the neck pain you get at the computer, the ache in your shoulder from that heavy bag, the tension you feel when driving… Our muscles become sluggish or set in undesirable positions, like a light left switched on and forgotten. If this sounds familiar, don’t despair; in the words of Dr Milton Trager MD, ‘there is a way of being which is lighter, which is freer; we can all learn this way’. The Trager Approach is a gentle way to let go of stress, find freedom from pain caused by areas of habitual tension and rediscover relaxation. It rebalances the body and mind, using movement and touch to bring selfawareness, confidence, ease of movement and inner calm. The practitioner and client spend the first ten minutes of a typical 90-minute session exploring a series of simple effortless 18

movements aimed at finding greater softness, awareness and freedom. These self-care movements or ‘Mentastics’ empower the client to recreate at home the freedom found during the session. For instance, if you suffer from neck pain at the computer, you can use Mentastics for a few moments each time you feel tension creeping in. The rest of the session usually takes place on a comfortable massage table although Trager can also be received standing, sitting or in a wheelchair. You can wear comfortable loose clothing; no oils or creams are used. The practitioner gently moves the client’s limbs, head and torso, compressing, elongating, rocking and rotating the body in a rhythmic pleasurable way. The gentle passive movement of the client’s body imparts great awareness and feeling to the part being worked on. Elongation gives feelings of openness and soft rocking enlivens and deeply relaxes the muscle tissue. During short pauses between moves, you may be asked how the treated part feels. This provides the practitioner with feedback and focuses your

attention, helping foster an awareness of the difference between tension and release. So how does Trager work? The new comfortable feelings you experience during a session go directly to the unconscious mind where they override and gradually replace old patterns of tension and discomfort. Clients often report feeling taller, lighter, relaxed and energized after a session. After a few sessions, they often find that their pain and tension has disappeared entirely. The Trager Approach does not replace the intervention of a doctor but is a valid aid for a wide range of conditions including back, neck and joint pain, sciatica, postural problems, RSI, sports injuries, stress, anxiety, insomnia, hypertension and emotional and physical trauma. It also provides effective support in neuromuscular dysfunctions such as ME, MS, stroke and Parkinson’s. A growing number of professional performers and athletes use Trager to enhance their performance and many people take regular sessions simply in order to feel good.

THIS IS HOW TO GET IT BACK!
ave you ever had one of those mornings? The kind where you arrive early at the office, intent on diving straight into an important project but instead, everything else grabs your attention. First, you need that morning cup of coffee. Then it’s a quick check of Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn; not to mention those overnight emails that need a readthrough. Then your colleagues arrive with talk of their weekend and just when those unnecessary distractions have been put aside, PING, you get a message from your team leader and immediately find yourself seated in another disorganised meeting. Afterwards, lunchtime hunger creeps in and last night’s leftovers distract you; albeit you have decided to eat at your desk. When famishment is satisfied, you are left in a state of panic and your afternoon evolves into a stressful late night at work, yet again. Where did the day go?!? On average, we switch activities every 3 minutes. It then takes up to 25 minutes to return to the task we were originally working on. The top 5 time-wasting activities at work are meetings, emails, online browsing, commuting and procrastination and with 28% of the average office worker’s day spent focused on unnecessary distractions, how is it possible to ever have a productive day at work?

AT WORK?
To give us all a morning boost and help re-focus on that ever-growing to-do list, read on for some practical tips on productivity. Dos and DON’Ts of a productive workday DON’T
DO
Read emails right after receiving them
Check email only 4 times per day
Read daily news at work
Make airplane days (turn off the internet connection)
Delay complicated tasks
Put the least favourite task first
Work without clear goals
Use the Pareto Principle; focus on 20% of tasks that return the most benefit
Set tasks without milestones
Set short 60-90 minute deadlines for each task
Attend inefficient team meetings
Set a clear agenda for meetings
According to office workers, the number 1 time-waster at work is too many meetings, with most employees attending 62 meetings each month. If an obligatory meeting is in order, be sure to include an agenda in the calendar invitation. This will keep the meeting on track and on time, and provide an area for attendees to write down questions before the meeting even begins. This way you can prepare your answers for these questions in advance and avoid scheduling yet another follow-up meeting. If you recognize yourself here and you’re not accomplishing enough throughout the day, consider how to better allocate your time to get more done at work. If you do, you’ll have more time to spend doing what you love to do. We have 24 hours a day, 1440 minutes a day and 86400 seconds a day - let’s use them wisely!

COVER STORY
By:David Korten
WHY THE ECONOMY SHOULD STOP GROWING-AND JUST GROW UP “How do we grow the economy?” is an obsolete question. Local initiatives across the world are looking for maturity instead as they rebuild caring, place-based communities and economies.
L
isten to the political candidates as they put forward their economic solutions. You will hear a well-established and rarely challenged narrative. “We must grow the economy to produce jobs so people will have the money to grow their consumption, which will grow more jobs…” Grow. Grow. Grow. But children and adolescents grow. Adults mature. It is time to reframe the debate to recognize that we have pushed growth in material consumption beyond Earth’s environmental limits. We must now shift our economic priority from growth to maturity—meeting the needs of all within the limits of what Earth can provide. Global GDP is currently growing 3 to 4 percent annually. Contrary to the promises of politicians and economists, this growth is not eliminating poverty and creating a better life for all. It is instead creating increasingly grotesque and unsustainable imbalances in our relationship to Earth and to each other. Specifics differ by country, but the U.S. experience characterizes the broader trend. Corporate profits as a percentage of GDP are at a record high. The U.S. middle class is shrinking as most people work longer hours and struggle harder to put food on the table and maintain a roof over their heads. Families are collapsing, and suicide rates are increasing. The assets of the world’s 62 richest individuals equal those of the poorest half of humanity-3.6 billion people. In the

United States, the 2015 bonus pool for 172,400 Wall Street employees was $25 billion-just short of the $28 billion required to give 4.2 million minimum wage restaurant and health care workers a raise to $15 an hour. Humans now consume at a rate 1.6 times what Earth can provide. Weather becomes more severe and erratic, and critical environmental systems are in decline. These distortions are a predictable consequence of an economic system designed to extract Earth’s natural wealth for the purpose of maximizing financial returns to those who already have more than they need. On the plus side, as this system has created the imperative for deep change, it has also positioned us to take the step toward a life-centered planetary civilization. It has: •
Globalized awareness of humans’ interdependence with one another and Earth,
•
Produced a system of global communications that allows us to think and act as a global species,
•
Highlighted racism, sexism, and other forms of xenophobia as threats to the well-being of all, and
•
Turned millennials into a revolutionary political force by denying them the economic opportunities their parents took for granted.
We cannot, however, look to the economic institutions that created the imbalances to now create an economy that
meets the essential needs of all in balanced relationship to a living Earth. Global financial markets value life only for its market price. And the legal structures of global corporations centralize power and delink it from the realities of people’s daily lives. Restoring balance is necessarily the work of living communities, of people who care about one another, the health of their environment, and the future of their children. The step to maturity depends on rebuilding caring, place-based communities and economies and restoring to them the power that global corporations and financial markets have usurped. Local initiatives toward this end are already underway throughout the world. “How do we grow the economy?” is an obsolete question. The questions relevant to this moment in history are “How do we navigate the step to a mature economy that meets the needs of all within the limits of a finite living Earth?” How do we rebuild the strength and power of living communities? How do we create a culture of mutual caring and responsibility? How do we assure that the legal rights of people and communities take priority over those of government-created artificial persons called corporations? Living organisms have learned to self-organize as bioregional communities that create and maintain the conditions essential to a living Earth community. We humans must take the step to maturity as we learn to live as responsible members of that community.

STUFF FOR MEN
FIVE BIG MISTAKES YOU MIGHT BE MAKING
by: Sherri Frost
WEIGHT LOSS FOR MEN: Lots of men are making at least one of these five big mistakes when trying to lose weight. Are you?
1 2 3
You Don't Know How to cook. It never seemed important, so you didn't learn how to cook, though you have managed to figure out how to use the microwave oven. You end up eating too much salty, processed and tasteless frozen food. What do you see when you open the refrigerator? A shelf full of beer and power drinks? Do you have the local pizza shop magnet on the outside? Size Does Matter. It is essential to control your portion size if you want to lose weight. Realize that the big bowl of pasta at your favorite Italian restaurant could feed an entire family. Or maybe you are not eating enough food because you believe that starving yourself will lead to quick weight loss. Portions that are too big or too little will not support your weight loss. Bad Attitude. When you look at dieting as a sort of punishment for that hamburger and fries that you ate, you end up with a bad attitude. Why would you want to punish yourself? As a child you tried to avoid punishment whenever possible. Don't start now. Instead, of looking at your diet as depriving yourself, look at it as rewarding yourself with better health and energy. A better attitude will go a long way to motivate you to stay on track.

Giving Up. Weight loss doesn't happen right away. It takes time and it's normal to have setbacks. If you have a night of pizza and beer, don't feel like you have completely fallen off the diet wagon. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and forgive yourself. Keep the big picture in mind and don't give up. Unrealistic Expectations. You dream of a sculpted body with six-pack abs. You want to look like an action hero or Olympic athlete. While you may want a perfect body... and who doesn't... it's not likely to happen. Set realistic goals and remind yourself of them daily. For a realistic goal, include more than just a number on a scale. Decide what you want to look like and more importantly figure out how you want your life to be different. Create an image in your mind of what it will look like. Will you be able to play ball with your kids? Walk up the stairs without straining? Have better posture and appear more confident? Add the use of self hypnosis for weight loss by embedding this image deep within your subconscious mind. It will make it much easier to lose weight. The difference is that you'll be moving towards your goals instead of away from being overweight.

START AFRESH! Great make-up starts with a clean, fresh base, so ensure your skincare routine involves quality products. Opt for natural ingredients to be kinder to your skin, such as Glamglow, Pevonia or Babor. ACE OF BASE For a super natural look, stay away from heavy foundation and instead use tinted moisturiser. Not only will it even out your skin tone, but its lightweight formula lets your skin breathe. Choose a brand that has a built in SPF to protect against sun damage and the early onset of ageing. A HINT OF TINT When it comes to cheek definition, the key is to follow your face’s natural contours rather than to invent cheekbones you don’t have. Use a cream blush to give a soft dewy shine and if you need something a little stronger, add a light dusting of bronzer across your T-Zone for a natural glow. LASH OUT Not everyone was born with enviable eyelashes. If you have great length and shape, consider a subtle boost with eyelash tinting – a strong blue/black will give the ultimate definition while keeping it real. If you need a helping hand creating a subtle flutter, book in for eyelash extensions; however be sure to request only the most natural lash lengths and just a little extra body. SHEER BEAUTY Apply a natural and long-lasting lip stain in a nude or pale hue, keeping true to your skin tone. Add a slither of subtlety tinted lip balm to keep things fresh.

Beyoncé Postpones Nashville Show Just Days After Formation World Tour Kicks Off
Beyoncé fans in Nashville,Tennessee, will have to wait a little longer to get in formation to watch Bey slay. The 34-year-old singer has postponed her stop in the city, which was meant to take place on May 5. The news, which some are dubbing “mysterious,” was first reported by TMZ on Friday, just a couple of days after Bey kicked off her Formation World Tour and less than a week after her visual album “Lemonade” took the Internet by storm. “Following Wednesday’s sold out opening night Formation World Tour concert in Miami, promoters Live Nation announced that
the Nashville concert previously scheduled for Thursday, May 5th will be rescheduled,” a representative for Yoncé told E! News in a statement. “Details about the rescheduled date will be announced shortly and Nashville tickets holders are advised to retain their tickets which will be honored at the rescheduled event. ... Live Nation apologizes for any inconvenience.” All other dates on the tour are set to go on as scheduled, the rep also confirmed to E!. Fans were confused and upset, naturally, as Bey’s camp didn’t really provide a reason for the cancellation.
Deepa: International actors should learn from their Indian counterparts
Indo-Canadian film-maker Deepa Mehta is best known for making critically acclaimed films like Fire (1996), Earth (1998) and Water (2005). Though her last release, Midnight's Children (2012), didn't fare well at the box office, she was happy with her work. "I was content with the response I got for the film. There were 30

people who hated it, and there were those who loved it. But then that's the nature of this industry," she says. Ask her how she feels about Indian actors like Irrfan Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone making a mark internationally, and Mehta says, "It's terrific that there's an increasing number of Indian names in the international arena now." In fact, she also feels that there is a lot one can learn from these Indian artistes. "Internationally, the work ethic is different. International actors should learn from their Indian counterparts," she adds. Most of her films revolve around Indian themes, and they have been received well across the world. Mehta credits English film-maker Danny Boyle for this achievement. "Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire (2008) was a huge commercial success. It opened doors for all these stories that needed to be seen on the world level. Till then, all our successes had been in art house cinema," says Mehta.
Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ Coat Is Up for Auction CALABASAS, Calif. (AP) — A rare piece of movie memorabilia from Prince’s 1984 classic film “Purple Rain” is hitting the auction block. Prince donned the blackand-white blazer with leather sleeves while riding a motorcycle with co-star Apollonia Kotero. “It’s definitely the most important piece of screen-worn Prince clothing that’s ever come up for auction,” said Joe Maddalena, president of the Calabasas, California-based auction house, Profiles in History. “This is a signature piece of wardrobe worn from an iconic movie in his most famous role.” The coat is a unique find from the typically reclusive artist, who was found dead last week at his Paisley Park complex just outside of Minneapolis. “Prince memorabilia in general, it just really doesn’t exist. It seems like he controlled it all,”
Maddalena said. “This is the first time ever for something like this, and it might be the only time because the rest of the costumes may be in his (personal) wardrobe.” The original seller said her sister, a makeup artist, received the piece from Prince after they worked together on “Purple Rain.” The June 29th auction will also include costumes from Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Alicia Keys and a Swarovski crystal studded glove from Michael Jackson’s 1992 “Dangerous” world tour. Maddalena said he believes the “Purple Rain” blazer will be the “star of the show” and expects it to sell for much more than the asking price, $6,000 to $8,000. “Hopefully it will reach a price that is equivalent to his stature as a musician,” he said.
Sonali Bendre to talk about parenting..
Sonali Bendre Behl recently wrote a book on parenting, which has received a great response. Now, the actor-turned-author has been invited by St. Anne's Catholic School, in London, UK, to speak at a seminar, which will be held later this month. Apparently, the school authorities want Sonali to discuss issues related to women's health and parenting, and share her experiences of motherhood.
A source close to the actor says, "Sonali will attend the seminar. Not only will she talk about parenting and women's health concerns with the parents present there, but she will also discuss leadership qualities with the school kids at the event." While Sonali remained unavailable for a comment, her spokesperson confirmed the news.
TECH TALK
Solar power plants take to the seas with new floating platforms Offshore wind farms are growing in popularity as energy providers look for different ways of harvesting power from the sun without using valuable land resources. One unique idea being developed by engineers at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) is a floating platform called a Heliofloat that would function as a sea-based solar power station. As detailed by the Vienna engineers, the Heliofloat is an open-bottom, flexible float as large as a football field and covered from edge to edge with solar panels. Heliofloats can operate as standalone platforms for smaller operations with moderate energy requirements. Multiple heliofloats also can be connected together, forming a
floating solar-harvesting power grid. Each 100-meter heliofloat is designed to stay upright even in the worst weather. Like most platforms, the Heliofloat is constructed using barrels to provide flotation, but it differs in one major way — each Heliofloat barrel is made from a soft flexible material that is open to the sea. This open-bottom, flexible material traps air at the top of each barrel, operating much like a ballast tank at the bottom of a sub. This system creates an air pocket that acts like a shock absorber in rough weather. The soft sides of the barrel also flex when hit by waves, allowing the system to remain stable in high seas.

Twitter makes it easier to report abusive tweetstorms When people attack on Twitter, they usually take more than one tweet to do it. Now, Twitter will finally let you report not just the first or last abusive tweet, but up to five of them, giving Twitter real context and, perhaps, a better avenue to action. Twitter announced the change on Saturday in a Safety blog post. The update comes a few months after Twitter broadened its online abuse policy to encompass "abusive behavior and hateful conduct" and almost a year after after it cracked down on violent threats.
approximately 320 million active users, may not be done. The blog post notes, "Safety continues to be a top priority at Twitter. We have more improvements coming that will give you even more control over your experience and look forward to sharing those updates soon." The abuse report changes are not yet reflected on Twitter's safety page, which outlines how to submit one Tweet. And even the video doesn't show exactly how the five-tweet report would look.

When Dyson makes a hair dryer, it’s going to be quiet, powerful, and pricey In a few months, the hum of hair dryers at your local salon might get a little lower if Dyson has its way. From vacuums to fans to hand dryers, Dyson certainly likes to focus on suction and airflow. It’s not really a surprise, then, that its first beauty product is a very pricey hair dryer. The company unveiled its $399 Dyson Supersonic hair dryer today. Gray and purple, the blow dryer looks Dyson-made and resembles a handheld
showe rhead or microphone more than a traditional hairstyling tool. It took Dyson four years and $71 million to develop the device, which includes its new V9 digital motor. In 2013, patents revealed the company was working on a “silent” hair dryer. While it’s not calling the Supersonic hair dryer soundless, Dyson does say the device’s pathway cuts down on agitation and its 13 motor impeller blades emit a tone that’s inaudible to the human ear.

Gota
weden is one of the most exquisite countries in Europe, boasting a wealth of charming towns, idyllic countryside and exceptional cities. With the Baltic Sea to the east and the North Sea to the west, Sweden can be found sandwiched in the north of Europe between Finland and Norway. Well known for its innovative and contemporary design, the country is also renowned for super pop group, Abba, who once had great success in the Eurovision Song Contest. Sweden has a great deal of treasures waiting to be explored, such as the spectacular Läckö Castle on the shores of Lake Vänern and the medieval Convent of Vreta at Berg. There are also countless lakes which are fabulous for taking a refreshing swim during the summer, and scores of pretty towns and sleepy villages. From Gothenburg in the west to the country’s capital Stockholm in the east, it is now possible
34

to take a cruise along the magnificent Gota Canal, incorporating all of the aforementioned sights into a single holiday. The Gota Canal cruise follows one of the most remarkable waterways in Europe, linking Sweden’s two largest cities. The actual canal is 190 kilometres in length and was impressively hand-dug during the early 1800s. Sailing along this waterway, guests can enjoy a voyage along rivers, several lakes, three canals and even two seas, with a total of 66 locks to navigate along the way. The journey is taken at an utterly relaxed pace, giving holidaymakers the opportunity to unwind and enjoy the scenery. There are several excursions included during the course of a Gota Canal cruise. Depending on the length of the cruise, visitors get the chance to visit the interesting Canal Museum at Trollhätten, take a guided tour of Läckö Castle, visit the iconic Vadstena Abbey and even take a look around a fascinating glass blowing studio.
There is plenty of time on Gota Canal cruises to explore charming towns such as Motala and Söderköping, where the local ice cream is truly delicious. Leisurely walks along the towpath in the summer sunshine are also highly recommended. One of the best things about a Gota Canal cruise is that they begin and end in Gothenburg and Stockholm, giving holidaymakers the opportunity to spend some quality sightseeing time in these two magnificent cities. The capital, Stockholm, is a particularly elegant city and has a remarkably clean and fresh feel to it. Spread across 14 islands, the perfect way to see the city is to take a boat tour. Holidaymakers on a Gota Canal cruise love to explore the history of Gamla Stan, the oldest part of Stockholm, and the Vasa Warship Museum is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Scandinavia.
The Nordic Museum, the Royal Palace and the City Hall are also well worth a visit. At the opposite side of the country lies Gothenburg, Sweden’s primary port. Bursting with a wealth of history and culture, Gothenburg is perhaps most notable for its gastronomy. A diverse range of excellent restaurants can be found all over the city, and its coastal location is apparent in the number of seafood dishes on the menus. A sight not to be missed is the recently completed Opera House, and Gota Canal cruises dock right next to it. Other mustsees include the vibrant fish market and the imposing fortress (Nya Elfsborgs Fästning) at the entrance to the harbour. The traditionally styled ships take up to 60 passengers at a time, making a Gota Canal cruise feel quite intimate. Guests are a diverse mix of nationalities and everyone
is friendly, and the level of service provided by the ship’s crew is second to none. Meals are freshly prepared by on-board chefs and breakfast, lunch and dinner is served in the opulently decorated dining room. During the day on a Gota Canal cruise, guests can relax on the outdoor decks and soak up the sunshine whilst gazing at the views or delving into a good book. In the evening, the lounge is the perfect place for socialising. Cabins are well-appointed and comfortable with excellent shared WC facilities. To make a Gota Canal cruise holiday even more enjoyable, it is possible to book additional nights in Stockholm and Gothenburg before and after the cruise to avoid awkward flight times and stress in getting to the ship on time. This also means that there is extra time to explore the city sights or browse the many shops. The Source

My favourite thing in my life is junk modelling because I’m really interested in the way things connect and how they move, like robots. My favourite films are: Star Wars, Kung Fu Panda 3 and Laputa. I love these books: My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish, Harry Potter and Jedi Academy. I love white chocolate and vanilla ice-cream! I quite like swimming and I usually beat my teacher in back stroke!
