Oslo (IANS): Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani activist espousing education for girls said Wednesday that she was glad she received the Nobel Peace Prize together with India's Kailash Satyarti because it showed the world that an Indian and a Pakistani could work together for children's rights. (Yousafzai was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen in October 2012 for campaigning for girls' education. She is the youngest ever recipient of the prize.) "I am also honoured to receive this award together with Kailash Satyarti, who has been a champion of children's rights for a long time... I am also glad that we can stand together and show the world that an Indian and a Pakistani can be united in peace and together work for children's rights," said Malala in her acceptance speech here. She dedicated her award to the "voiceless" children of the world "who want change". "This award is not just for me, but for those forgotten children who want

Since then, our voices have grown louder and louder. I tell my story not because it is unique, but because it is not."

there are countries where millions still suffer from the very old problems of hunger, poverty, injustice and conflicts. "Indeed, we are reminded in 2014 that a century has passed since the beginning of the First World War, but we still have not learnt all of the lessons that arose from the loss of those millions of lives a hundred years ago," Malala said. She called for the world leaders to unite and make education their top priority. The Nobel Prizes are presented every year Dec 10, the death anniversary of Alfred Nobel.

Modi-Putin talks: 12 new n-reactors in India, 20 agreements inked
New Delhi (IANS): Nuclear energy cooperation between India and Russia got a major boost with both sides Thursday inking a vision document for the construction of 12 Russia-built nuclear units in India over the next two decades as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin held summit talks here. The two sides inked 20 agreements, including in the sphere of defence cooperation, oil and gas and in trade, after the holding of the 15th India-Russia annual summit. Modi, reading out a statement after the talks, termed India's strategic partnership with Russia "incomparable in content". While Modi said that both sides outlined an "ambitious vision for nuclear energy of at least 10 more reactors", Putin, in his address, said Russia would set up "20 nuclear units" in India and also cooperate in uranium mining. The 12 reactors includes the 1,000-megawatt Russia-built reactor that has begun operations at the Kudankulam nuclear power station in Tamil Nadu and the second unit that is set to come onstream in 2015. In the field of hydrocarbons too, both sides inked agreements for India to scout for oil and gas in the resource rich Arctic Shelf. Modi said India, despite being one of the world's largest importers of hydrocarbons, has not cooperated enough in this sector. Defence was another area that saw both sides enhancing cooperation. Modi said Russia has been "India's foremost defence partner through decades" and termed the refitted Russian aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya as a "great symbol" of bilateral defence cooperation. "Even as India's options have increased today, Russia will remain our most important defence partner," he said.

Police again quiz Uber's Asia head, collect more evidence in rape case New Delhi (IANS): Delhi Police Wednesday questioned radio taxi company Uber's Asia-Pacific head Eric Alexander for the second consecutive day in mounting problems for the US-based company that has faced trouble in several countries. Police also said they have gathered "all necessary evidence" against cab driver Shiv Kumar Yadav accused of raping a 25-year-old
woman Dec 5 night and were unlikely to seek extension of his custody. Alexander arrived at the office of deputy commissioner of police, north Delhi, around 6.30 p.m. along with his lawyers and was questioned for one and half hours. He expressed his sympathy for the victim but did not answer a query about a complaint made to the com-
pany against Yadav by a NRI woman about 10 days back. Yadav was among drivers attached to Uber and ferried passengers who availed the company's services. In her complaint to Uber, Nidhi Shah had alleged that Yadav kept staring at her through the mirror during the taxi ride on Nov 26. Alexander told reporters that they were cooperating with the police.
‘Time’ Person of the Year: Modi wins poll, loses race
Washington (IANS): Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the winner of this year's reader poll for Time Person of the Year, but his name does not figure in the magazine editors' own list of final eight. This year's possible winners include Apple CEO Tim Cook, Alibaba founder Jack Ma, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Russian
President Vladimir Putin, Iraqi Kurdish President Massoud Barzani and singer Taylor Swift. The list also includes groups of individuals, like the Ebola caregivers and protesters in Ferguson, Missouri. Time magazine editor Nancy Gibbs revealed the eight finalists on the "Today" show Monday morning. The Time editors'
choice of the person who have had the biggest influence on the news within the past year will be announced Wednesday. In the final tally of reader poll, Modi received more than 16 percent of the almost five million votes cast. Protesters who took to the streets in Ferguson, Missouri, after the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager finished second with nine percent. Hong Kong protest leader Joshua Wong, Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai and the doctors and nurses treating Ebola rounded out the top five. A majority of votes, 60 percent, came from desktop computers. Just over 35 percent came from mobile devices, and 4.5 percent of readers voted on tablets.

"We are cooperating with police. My deepest sympathy is with the girl. I can't say anything more than that because it is an ongoing investigation," he said. Delhi Police asked Alexander 12 questions including over the safety mechanism of the company, usage of GPS, and background checking of drivers. Uber has stopped its services after
a written notice handed over to them from Delhi government and Delhi Police. The Uber official gave details of the accused driver to the police. He also informed the police that Uber has data storage facility at San Francisco and the company will soon provide some other information sought by Delhi Police.

Conversion fuels parliament heat, Bajrang Dal upbeat New Delhi / Agra (IANS): The alleged forcible conversion of about 300 Muslims in Agra generated political heat Wednesday but the Bajrang Dal insisted it had done no wrong. Opposition leaders in and outside parliament
demanded to know the central government's response to what they said was a breach of the constitutional provision of secularism. Speaking at a Congress meeting in Kerala, party vice president Rahul
Gandhi accused the central government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of triggering communal tensions. "Their sole interest is come to power in the country. They are ready to use anything to come to

In the Rajya Sabha, Bahujan Samaj Party leader Mayawati called the Agra conversions an attack on the country's secular fabric. Mayawati was backed by opposition parties who
sought a statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On Wednesday, organisers of the Monday event again defended their action. Ajju Chauhan, a Bajrang Dal leaders, said: "It is being wrongly propagated that the converts had been promised ration cards. They already have voting and ration cards. "They have on their own
Action against over 200 recruitment agencies for fraud: Government New Delhi (IANS): Action was taken against 206 recruitment agencies and agents, with a maximum of them in Maharashtra (126), during the last one year for fraudulent activities, parliament was told Wednesday. Minister of State for Overseas Indian Affairs and External Affairs Gen. V.K. Singh (retd.) told the Lok Sabha that between Dec 1, 2013 and Nov 30, 2014, action was initiated against a total of 206 recruitment agencies and agents for fraudulent activities. In the list of nine states, Maharashtra tops the list with the government taking action against 126 agencies and agents there, Delhi came second with 23 and Kerala with 14, according to the list circulated by the minister.
In 2013, a total of 56 registration certificates were issued to recruiting agents/agencies under Emigration Act, 1983, while this year a total of 65 applications have been for the registration certificate so far. He said that from time to time complaints from emigrants/Indian workers abroad are received.

India decides to decriminalise attempt to suicide
New Delhi (IANS): The Indian government Wednesday said it has decided to decriminalise "attempt to suicide" by deleting the provision holding it an offence and providing for punishment from the statute book. The move won support from several parliamentarians and activists. Minister of State for Home Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply that the government had
decided to drop section 309 from the Indian Penal Code following recommendations of the Law Commission and consultations with the states. "Law Commission of India, in its 210th Report, had recommended that section 309 (attempt to commit suicide) of IPC needs to be effaced from the statute book," he said. Since law and order was a state subject, views of states and union territories were
sought on the recommendations given by the Law Commission, he said. "Eighteen states and four union territory administrations have supported that section 309 of the IPC may be deleted. Keeping in view the responses from the states/UTs, it has been decided to delete section 309 of IPC from the statute book," the minister said. He also said the government does not maintain data about attempt to suicide.
However, responding to a different question, the minister said that there were 134,799 suicides in India in 2013 - an average of 369 a day. Maharashtra, which has witnessed several farmer's suicides, recorded the highest number of 16,622 suicides in 2013, followed by Tamil Nadu with 16,601 suicides, and Andhra Pradesh with 14,607, he said.
Interpol on alert after idol theft in Himachal Shimla (IANS): Interpol has been put on high alert after the theft of an antique idol of Lord Raghunath from Himachal Pradesh's Kullu town, police said Wednesday. A reward of Rs.10 lakh has been announced for providing clues about the robbers. "The Interpol and (Indian) immigration authorities have been alerted to prevent the robbers from fleeing the country," a senior police official told IANS. Director General Police Sanjay Kumar told reporters that police were looking into various aspects of the theft. "We are also investigating the modus operandi of the last theft in the temple," he said. Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh told the state assembly
in Dharamsala that a reward of Rs.10 lakh has been announced. The main idol of Lord Raghunath was found missing from the Lord Raghunath temple in Sultanpur in Kullu, about 200 km from here, early Tuesday. The robbers entered the temple from the roof and took away the idols of Lord Raghunath and Hanuman, both made of 'ashtadhatu' (a composite of eight metals), a stone statue of Narsingh Shila (covered with gold), one silver Ganesh idol and a pair of Charan Paduka besides ornaments. Raja Jagat Singh, the erstwhile ruler of Kullu, obtained the Lord Raghunath idol from Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh and
built the temple in the 17th century. Police called it one of the biggest heists in a religious place in the state. The Kullu Dussehra, a centuries old festival, is associated with Lord Raghunath, the chief deity. Police officials said in the past 15 years, at least 100 thefts had been reported from temples in Himachal Pradesh. Over 20 of them were major ones. The hill state has over 2,000 temples and monasteries that are centuries old. Of these, 60 are under the care of the Archaeological Survey of India while 31 are with the state language, art and culture department.
Sexual violence global pandemic: British envoy New Delhi (IANS): Sexual violence is a "global pandemic" and not just an Indian problem, British High Commissioner James Bevan said here Wednesday. Citing US historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, he said: "Well-behaved women seldom make history. I salute all the women, well behaved and badly behaved, who have
made history. I encourage all of you to keep on behaving badly." He was speaking at the release of Oxford's publications 'Decoding the Law' and 'A Guide For Survivors of Sexual Violence'. "The official statistics say that one in three women in the world suffer sexual abuse or violence at some time in
their lives. The real figures are certainly much, much higher. "We face the challenge of sexual violence against women in the UK too. So while we hope that our Indian friends can learn from our own experiences of tackling the problem, we in Britain can learn lessons from you here India too." he said.

Amarinder questions Badal's age, asks him to step down
Chandigarh (IANS): A day after Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal celebrated his 87th birthday, becoming the oldest serving chief minister in the country, Congress leader Amarinder Singh Tuesday claimed he was much older and asked him to step down. "It is high time for him (Badal) to quit as
he had grown too old to govern the state now," said Amarinder, the deputy leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha, while extending birthday greetings to the octogenarian Shiromani Akali Dal leader. Questioning Badal's claims that he was 87 years old, Amarinder claimed: "He (Badal) was the classmate, in FC College, Lahore, of my brother Malwinder Singh's father-in-law, Sukhinderpal Singh Mann, who passed away recently at the age of 93. "How come Sardar Mann was 93 and Mr Badal is only 87 when they were in the same class?" he asked, while pointing out that Badal's age would be recorded in his matriculation certificate and the records in FC College also. Taking a dig at Badal's claims that he had forgotten his actual date of birth, Amarinder said: "This again is characteristic of Mr Badal to avoid any inconvenient question by either feigning ignorance or claiming to have forgotten. A chief minister who cannot remember his birth date does not deserve to be at the helm of affairs." Referring to Badal's recent comments of
Punjab eye camp tragedy: Mathura NGO office-bearers missing Mathura (IANS): The office-bearers of a Mathurabased NGO which recently organised an eye-camp in Punjab where some patients later complained of losing eyesight, were
On Sunday, Punjab Police sub-inspector Sukhvinder Singh with seven policemen went to the NGO's registered office in Amar Colony but found it locked. The director with his family
found missing and untraceable when a Punjab Police team looked for them Sunday. The police were looking for the NGO's director and other office bearers -- president, vice-president, chairperson, secretary, treasurer, and others. Punjab Police officer Ajaypal Singh said they were looking for Hemvir, the director of SKM Sewa Sansthan, the NGO in Amar Colony here which organised the eye camp in a Punjab village where the surgeries were botched. The Mathura police provided the backup and "we are now looking for the accused at various places", he added.
members had left. A few other places were searched too, but in vain, the subinspector said. The NGO organised the eye camp for cataract operations in Ghuman village of Gurdaspur district in Punjab, where 29 of the total 49 people operated upon later complained of losing sight. A government official claimed that half a dozen had lost their sight. A case was later registered against the NGO. The eye camp's organiser was arrested for not taking permission for the camp, and the doctor who performed the surgeries was also been taken into custody.
having a federal structure in the country, Amarinder chided Badal "for raising the bogey of federalism and panthic-agenda at the fag-end of his political career. "This is characteristic of Mr Badal to raise such controversial issues whenever he feels politically threatened," he alleged. "Even after spending over six decades in politics, Badal had not been able to come
out of his mindset that was fixated in the past by over 50 years. These are his cherished pastimes to brood over federalism, panthic agenda, industrial focal points, Adarsh schools and Sangat Darshan," Amarinder said, adding that this was responsible for the mess that Punjab finds itself now in.

Punjab officers to get hired vehicles Chandigarh (IANS): To cut down on expenses incurred on government vehicles, the Punjab government has decided to provide hired vehicles to officers, it was announced Friday. "It has been estimated by the department of transport that the cost of running a govern-
ment vehicle was about Rs.74,000 per month, whereas the cost for a private vehicle of a reasonable make is about Rs.40,000 per month. "In the light of austerity measures, the decision of the finance department will be a step forward to reduce avoidable expenditure of the govern-
ment," said a spokesman of the finance department here. The vehicles to be hired in future will be as per the entitlement of officers to increase touring and inspection of works in the field. The spokesman said that for transparency in the system of hiring, the vehicles will be
taken on rent from the open market by way of tendering process for which head of department will be the competent authority. "With this system in place, there will be no shortage of vehicles in government offices and the general public will also benefit with increased quality
of work and provision of better services to them due to enhanced monitoring," the spokesman said. Punjab Finance Minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa has taken the decision on hiring vehicles with the approval of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
Badal wants federal structure in country New Delhi (IANS): Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal Sunday called for drastic recast of the constitution to give the country a genuinely federal structure. Speaking at the conference of chief ministers called by Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday,
Badal said that the centre should have exclusive jurisdiction on subjects of national concerns, such as defence, external affairs, currency, railways, communications and a few others. "Federalism is the only way to ensure speedy development to make India a true economic
India," Badal said. He also sought a drastic reversal in the formula for distribution of resources between the centre and states. "The states must get a 50 percent share out of the central taxes and non-tax revenue, instead of the present 32 percent
and these funds should be given in an untied manner, without prior conditions," Badal said. He said that the distribution of funds among states should be based on a transparent formula so that larger states do not walk away with all the funds.

Oldest serving CM Badal goes to school on his birthday Chandigarh (IANS): At 87, he is the oldest serving chief minister in the country. But even at this age, the 'young-at-heart' Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal chose to celebrate his birthday with school students Monday. Birthday boy Badal, a man from a farming background, who is well known for his witty one-liners, had cut nearly a dozen cakes by the end of the day. The birthday events for the octogenarian chief minister were held at his native village Badal and Gidderbaha town, both in Muktsar district of Punjab. Starting his day early with Akali Dal leaders and villagers meeting and greeting him at his ancestral house in Badal village, he remained busy throughout the day with functions to mark the occasion. His son and Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal and daughter-in-law Harsimrat Badal, who is the union minister for food processing, were not with him as they were in Delhi Monday. "Party leaders offered sweets and prayed for his long life at different places," an Akali Dal spokesman said here. In Gidderbaha, the chief minister went to the residence of Akali Dal leaders Gogi Jain and Vijay Jain where he cut a cake and celebrated his birthday. His next stop was at the Malwa Public School, Gidderbaha where enthused students and the school authorities had organised a special programme to celebrate his birthday. "I want to tell you that you should work hard and sincerely to achieve success in life," Badal told the students, who got themselves clicked with him. Later, he inaugurated the national school games' events at the Mata Jaswant Kaur Memorial School in Badal village. He cut a cake here too and distributed it among students. Born on Dec 8, 1927, at Abul Khurana village near Malout, Punjab in an agriculturist family, he has been the Punjab chief minister five times. He has been in power as the chief minister since March 2007. The Akali Dal created political history when it returned to power in March 2012 for a second consecutive time. Earlier Parkash Singh Badal was the chief minister thrice 1970-71, 1977-1980 and 1997-2002. He entered politics in 1947, the year when India got its Independence from British rule.

11 SPORTS India is a big tennis town now: Pete Sampras Boxer Sarita accepts her Asiad bronze medal
Saturday, Dec 13, 2014 | Indo-Canadian Voice World
New Delhi (IANS): Terming India as a 'big tennis town', Pete Sampras Monday said he has thoroughly enjoyed his stay in the country so far and praised Indians for their love of the game. “It’s a big tennis town now. I am happy to be here and hopefully I will come back,” Sampras, in the country to play for the Indian Aces franchise of the International Premier Tennis league (IPTL), said here. The 14-time Grand Slam
winner, widely regarded as one of the greatest to have played the game, also praised Indians for their love of the game. “People in India do know their tennis. I have travelled all around the world and met a lot of Indians, whether in Los Angeles or in Germany or in Wimbledon. They generally are very excited seeing you, enthusiastic to talk about your game. Very nice people, they know their tennis. They know of Wimbledon,” the
American legend said. Sampras was hounded for autographs at the team hotel by enthusiastic fans. On asked if he expected such a warm reception upon his maiden visit here, the 43-year-old said that he had a feeling that he will be much sought after for autographs and pictures. “I had a feeling. It seems I am very popular here. They obviously know of me and what I have done,” he said.
New Delhi (IANS): Boxer Sarita Devi Wednesday received her 2014 Asian Games bronze medal, which she had refused to accept, from the Indian Olympic Association. Sarita broke down on the podium during the medal ceremony and refused to receive her medal following a controversial semi-final
defeat in the lightweight (57-60kg) category.
She accepted the medal but handed it to South Korean silver medalist Ji Na Park, who had defeated Sarita in a disputed bout. Sarita's stance led the International Boxing Association (AIBA) to provisionally suspend the boxer. However the AIBA is yet to take a final call on the quantum of the punishment.
IOC session approves big changes in bidding process Monte Carlo (IANS): The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has approved major changes to the bidding process for Olympic Games at the 127th Session here Monday. At the start of a two-day session, three recommendations of president Thomas Bach's Olympic Agenda 2020 reform package have been unanimously approved, reports Xinhua. With the new bidding system, potential candidates will
be able to discuss plans with the IOC during the invitation phase before deciding on whether or not to launch a bidding campaign. The IOC will evaluate bid cities by assessing key opportunities and risks, and will encourage to reduce the cost of bidding by allowing a joint bid. "Candidates shall be allowed to hold events outside the host city, even outside the country," said vice president John D. Coates, representing
Working Group 1, while addressing the session. Also, the IOC will allow candidates to integrate the Olympic Games into their own city plans, rather than the other way round. The world's biggest multisports event's governing body is promoting these extraordinary reform after the 2022 Winter Games campaign saw four of six candidates having dropped out over financial concerns.

South Asians dismayed over new US racial profiling limits 3 DAY SALE
NOW HIRING: BUTCHERS, BAKERS, GROCERY ASSOCIATES

BAKERY COMING SOON
Washington (IANS): Sikh, Muslim and South Asian Communities have expressed dismay over new guidelines that ban racial profiling by federal law enforcement officers but do not apply to screeners at airports or border check points. The new guidelines announced by Attorney General Eric Holder Monday replace the 2003 Bush administration rules. They prohibit profiling based on race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, religion or sexual orientation. But the new rules apply only to federal officers, such as the FBI and Secret Service and any local law enforcement that work with them on task forces. "We are particularly troubled by a critical exemption for several key federal law enforcement agencies that allows these agencies to explicitly continue profiling, mapping, and surveilling communities in the name of national security investigations," said The South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT). It joined the National Network of Arab American Communities, the Sikh Coalition,
OneAmerica, Rights Working Group, the Southern Border Communities Coalition, and the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans in expressing deep concerns over the new rules. The exemption given to several key agencies "essentially allows the profiling of broad swaths of individuals, and many communities as a whole, including South Asian, Muslim, Arab, Middle Eastern, Latino, and border communities," it said. "Justice and civil rights protections cannot be dispensed on a sliding scale," SAALT said. "Immigrants and communities of colour risk continuing to be treated as second-class citizens by the very law enforcement officials tasked to protect them." Condemning the use of profiling by all law enforcement agencies against any individual or community, SAALT said it "joins Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, Black, Latino, and border communities to continue our work to seek a more fair, just, and inclusive society where all individuals can live free from discrimination."
Rejecting the "flawed and misleading" guidelines, the Sikh Coalition, the largest Sikh advocacy organisation in the US, moved to petition the White House and Congress, and sent protest letters to justice and homeland security departments. "The guidance is like a used car with new paint. The car looks better, but once you look underneath the hood, you realize it's unsafe to drive," said Rajdeep Singh, Director of Law and Policy at the Sikh Coalition. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) also expressed concerns over the new guidelines retaining what it called "Muslim carve-outs on profiling by government agencies at airports and borders." "CAIR is dismayed that at a time when our nation is struggling to come to terms with a series of high-profile police killings of unarmed AfricanAmericans, the DOJ (Department of Justice) would release revised profiling guidelines that include loopholes for targeting US Muslims and Hispanics," it said.

Parineeti Chopra hopes 2015 is 'better' OF Parineeti Chopra's three releases this year, two bombed at the box office. However, the actress says ups and downs are part of everyone's life and she hopes the new year will be better for her. In all of her three
releases this year -"Hasee Toh Phasee", "Daawat-e-Ishq" and "Kill Dil" -- the 26-year-old played different characters. While "Hasee Toh Phasee" showed her in a quirky character of a mad scientist, in "Daawat-e-
Ishq" and "Kill Dil", she was seen as a con girl and a bar dancer respectively. Out of these, only "Hasee Toh Phasee" had a fair box office performance. "Year 2014 had many ups and downs for me in everything -- be it my per-
sonal life or professional, but I think that is what an actor's life is," Parineeti said here in an interview. "You never get a consistent year every time. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is not, and I think I was somewhere in the middle. But that's
okay," she added. Now the actress has pulled up her socks for next year and says "2015 will be better". As of now, Parineeti has not taken on any new project and she is busy reading scripts. (IANS)
A film with all three Khans would be exciting: Aamir ACTOR-FILMMAKER Aamir Khan says a project starring Bollywood's three Khans - Shah Rukh, Salman and himself, would be exciting and that he would be happy to do it. The trio recently appeared together on the same stage. Asked about any plans to work with Salman and Shah Rukh in one film,
Aamir said: "I really think a film with three of us would be exciting...and if ever a script, which appeals to three of us, comes up, I am sure we would be happy to do
it." Aamir, who is currently busy promoting his much awaited film "PK", says he has neither signed any new films nor is he going to do his TV show "Satyameva Jayate" next year. "I'm not doing 'Satayamev Jayate' next year, and currently, I am not doing any
films. I am currently reading scripts and deciding on what to do next. When I find a good script and which excites me, I will sign it. "Right now I don't have any films and since 'Satyamev Jayate' just completed a series, we feel we need a break after five years of research just for emotional
reasons and to heal. We would come back, but we don't know when. But next year you won't see a release from me," he added. Aamir's "PK", which also features Anushka Sharma, Sanjay Dutt and Sushant Singh Rajput, is slated to release Dec 19. (IANS)

Sharmila celebrates birthday in Ranthambore with Saif, Kareena SHARMILA Tagore is celebrated her 70th birthday Monday in Ranthambore in Sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan, over 170 km from here, famous for its tiger reserve, with her son Saif and daughter-in-law Kareena Kapoor. "The family along with other relatives and close friends are here to celebrate Sharmila Tagore's birthday," a source told IANS and added that they are staying in a hotel near the Ranthambore National Park. "A lavish party is being hosted in the hotel," added the source. Sharmila and her other guests reached here Sunday by car from Jaipur and spent the time visiting the park, which is home to over 60 tigers, including cubs, as of now. In 2013, the overall tiger population was put at 48. "On Sunday, they visited the park in the afternoon and spent around three hours. During the safari, they spotted five tigers - two adults and three cubs," said a source from the forest department. He also said that they spent over 1520 minutes watching T-19, also known as Krishna, and her three cubs. The tigress, which had killed a Sambhar, was busy feasting with her children. After that they observed the activities of T-28, also known as Star Male, for about 20 minutes. "Today morning they were in the hotel, but in the afternoon some of the guests visited the park again," said the source. Saif, Kareena and Sharmila are likely to leave Ranthambore Tuesday. (IANS)

I look for strong female characters in films: Freida Pinto THERE is a recurring pattern in actress Freida Pinto's films and that is the presence of strong female characters. The Hollywood-based Indian actress says it's the first thing that she considers while choosing films. Be it "Slumdog Millionaire", "Miral" or her upcoming film "Trishna" - all the films have seen her playing such charcters. "A strong female character is the most important thing that I look for in my films. Hence the bottom line is that every character I play needs to have a strong undertone," Frieda told IANS in an interview. She did pick up a film in which she couldn't get the same satisfaction that she drew from her
earlier films. "I'm not going to mention the film's name and I'm glad that most of the people didn't see it. In the film, I did a role where I could not feel the strength of my character and it showed in my performance. Since then, I haven't repeated that thing," she added. Freida, who gained global recognition after Oscar-winning "Slumdog Millionaire", minces no words to declare the hype around objectification of women in Bollywood hypocrisy. "I have a problem with women being objectified on-screen. But I feel it's also unfair that we only talk about women objectification as if it's perfectly okay for men to be objectified," said the actress
while she was in Delhi to unveil the Girls Rising campaign in India. "I feel there is a little bit of hypocrisy over there," Freida added. She added that it's not entirely the filmmakers' fault as viewers
I'll always look up to my father: Sonakshi
ON Shatrughan Sinha's 69th birthday Tuesday, his daughter and actress Sonakshi Sinha wished the actorturned-politician, saying that he is her idol. The "Kalicharan" star is often called Shotgun. “Happy B'day to the man I will always look up to, n whos "sona baby" I will be forever, love u popsy@ShatruganSinha,” she tweeted. Sonakshi, who gave a "dhamakedaar" birthday present last year in the form of "R... Rajkumar" to her father, also posted a photograph with him. Singer Mika Singh also wished him calling him a "legend". “Happy birthday to the legend...@ShatruganSinha ...Khamosh,” he tweeted. (IANS)
should also understand that the artist is just playing a character on the screen. "As filmmakers and artists, we should be responsible about the material we put out, but at the end of the day it's very important for the viewers to understand that we are acting. "I am not a stripper from the video I just did, it is my character. I feel if people are going to be so narrow-minded about believing that the character is an extension of me, then it defeats the purpose of films," she said. The actress feels the line between commercial and serious cinema is fading. "I don't know what commercial films are in Bollywood because
there are some art house films that I enjoyed and they became commercially viable," said the 30year-old. Moving beyond acting, the actress has ventured on to the other side of filmdom as a producer. The actress, who is at present producing two films, refrains from delving more into the projects. "I am a kind of person who doesn't talk about any film until it's done. The same goes for the production ventures. I will not talk about the film I am producing till it's done. I am producing two films. I can promise you that the films have strong female characters," the actress said. (IANS)

2015 Volvo V60 T6 R-Design: Performance features safety, thrills and versatility By Autoreviewman. The 2015 Volvo V60 is a sleek- looking compact wagondubbed as a “sport wagon” or a “lifestyle” vehicle. Forget about a boxy-looking profile, the V60 is a tightly styled, aggressive, aerodynamic five- door with premium fit and finish inside and out. Available in a number of configurations – our test car was the V60 T6 RDesign- a high performance, fully optioned version. The R-Design features a 3.0L turbocharged straight-six cylinder (transversely mounted) engine producing 325 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque – making it Volvo’s most powerful production wagon to date. Other unique feature include a 15 mm lower ride height, with sport tuned suspension shocks, stiffer bushings and a front strut brace. High performance tires and 19 inch alloys complete the package.
The V60 R- Design also features paddle shifters with “Quick shift technology offering 30% quicker shifts from the sixspeed auto transmission. The sixspeed also has a sport mode option and transmits power via a Haldex controlled All- Wheel Drive unit with instant traction. Interior wise, the Volvo features a
crisp, well- designed easy on the eye dash and control panels. Nice graphics and simple controls are much easier to figure out and use than the fiddly, tiresome and overcomplicated touch features now found in many cars. The classic Volvo "floating console” is still present and looks ever so cool. It features the climate control system and incorpo-

rates a delightful hand diagram of a seated human that shows and controls direct airflow- so much simpler to use. The console also houses the well laid –out infotainment system. Ergonomics are good, with major functions controlled from the driver's seat, via the Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) screen that displays entirely virtual gauges in a crisp, clear representation. I have always remarked on how comfortable Volvo Seats are and nothing has changed on this front. The seats are firm -yet provide a soft and yielding embrace. Legroom and head room in front is good; however it is a little tighter for rear seat passengers due to the arcing coupe-like rear roofline. Cargo capacity for the V60 is 43.8 cubic feetaccessed via the hatchback. Safety has always been a priority with Volvo’. Thankfully no more tank-sized front bumpers! Instead there is sophisticated new technology such as Volvo IntelliSafe suite offering featuring such safety aids as “City Safety”, which prevents or mitigates slow moving collisions with smart automatic braking. Meanwhile the Pedestrian & Cyclist Detection system can automatically stop the car at certain speeds if it detects a person stepping out or a car swerves suddenly into your path. Other electronic active-safety systems include: adaptive cruise control, a rear-view monitor, and the blindspot information system (BLIS). Depending on the V60 model chosen, some feature are either standard or optional. On the road, the V60 R-Design with its Polestar-tuned, turbocharged inline-6 that produces 325hp and a respectful 354lb-ft of torque. Combined with the sport suspension and all-wheel drive – the R-Design offers fast acceleration, and quick responses via the six speed transmission. The V60does indeed handle like a pedigree sports sedan- the chassis feels stiff and tight and the steering is well calibrated for delightful control and feel. The ride is a little firm as it should be for good cornering and minimum body roll, but will not have you passengers complaining. Overall the V60 feels refined, confident and poised at whatever you throw at it. Fuel economy is around the 8.0 km/l city / 12.0 km/l hwy mark. There is nothing to really fault with the V60. It can end up being expensive for a small wagon once you tick options boxes and opt for higher spec models, but the high quality, excellent engine and world class safety technology ensures this is one of the safest cars on the road. Prices start at $39,800 for the front-wheel-drive V60 T5, rise to $41,800 for the T5 AWD, and top out at $50,950 for the top-of-theline, all-wheel-drive V60 R-Design model. Options can take the total to $54,850 for a fully featured RDesign with Platinum package.Highly recommended if only a premium European brand will do.By Autoreviewman. 2015 Volvo V60 T6 RDesign.Price as tested $54,850.

'Fandry', 'Liar's Dice' out of Golden Globe race Los Angeles, Dec 11 (IANS) Acclaimed Indian films "Fandry" and "Liar's Dice", which were among the 53 motion pictures approved for Golden Globe consideration in the foreign language category, are not part of the final nomination list for the 72nd edition of the awards ceremony. Nagraj Manjule's Marathi film "Fandry", revolving around an “untouchable” (Dalit) boy and his love for a girl from a higher caste, and Geethu Mohandas's "Liar's Dice", which tells the story of a young mother who takes her daughter in search for her missing husband, were

There's an old classic Beatles tune called Can't Buy Me Love. Money is the first word of this catchy lyric and some wise men/women believe cash is the root of all evil. Don't try telling that to one of the leading characters in Foxcatcher, a dynamic tale from Sony Pictures Classics now showing at The Fifth avenue Cinemas and International Village Cinemas. Based on a true story Foxcatcher focuses in on elite wrestling in the U.S. In the 1980s. Out to champion the cause of good old American supremacy on the mat is one John du Pont. Born rich this is one determined madman

Dharmendra turns 79
HINDI cinema's original He-Man Dharmendara turned 79 Monday and says that "I never knew when so much time flew by". Not that numbers count. Speaking from Jalandhar where he has been stationed for the past month, Dharmendra said: "Is it really 79 years? I never knew when so much time flew by.
All I know is, I've earned a whole lot of love and affection from people throughout the years. And that's my greatest gift." "Beyond that the stardom and success are things I never took seriously. I never cared about who was No.1, No.2 or No.3 as long as people continued to love me," added the yesteryear star who is busy shooting for Sumeep Kang's Hindi movie "Second Hand Husband" in the city. Love, Dharamji continues to get in abundance. At the moment in Jalandhar people flock to the location just to have a dekko at their favourite star. They even touch the ground with their head in a display of reverence. "I have always craved to be in people's hearts instead of minds because when you occupy the mind, you can be dislodged anytime. But when you're in the heart, you're there forever," said the actor who hails from Kapurthala district in Punjab. Does it feel strange to be celebrating the birthday far away from home and his loved ones? "This is also home, Jalandhar is very
close to my heart. The people here love me so much. This is my second film with the popular star Gippy Garewal. I had earlier done the Punjabi film 'Double Di Trouble' with Gippy. 'Second Hand Husband' is in Hindi," said Dharamendra. The film marks the acting debut of Govinda's daughter Narmadda and the senior actor is all praise for the newcomer. "Govinda's daughter is working for the first time. She's paired with Gippy. She's a lovely girl, and very talented. I am sure she will go places after this film releases." Dharamji plays a man with a roving eye in "Second Hand Marriage". "It's a mischievous role. I've always enjoyed doing comedy. And I hope the audience enjoys watching me do comedy." Incidentally, Dharamji shares his birthday with one of his favourite co-stars -Sharmila Tagore. "We've done some lovely films together. And we've always cut our birthday cake together on the sets of our films. She is a lovely co-star. All my co-stars are lovely ladies. I wish all of them all the best," said
Psychic Astrology World Renowned Spiritual Healer
Dharmendra who was seen with Sharmila in masterpieces like "Anupama" and "Satyakam". They also featured together in films like "Ek Mahal Ho Sapno Ka". Any birthday wishes? "I want my well-wishers and audience to continue giving me the same love that they've always given me," said the gentle action-romantic hero of Indian cinema. (IANS)

E-cigarettes less addictive than tobacco cigarettes: Study New York, Dec 10 (IANS) Ecigarettes are less addictive than tobacco cigarettes, finds a research, adding weight to the argument that vaping could help quit smoking. "We found that e-cigarettes appear to be less addictive than tobacco cigarettes in a large sample of long-term users," said Jonathan Foulds, professor of public health sciences and psychiatry at Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine. The popularity of e-cigarettes (e-cigs), which typically deliver nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin and flavourings through inhaled vapour, has increased in the past five
years. While the long-term effects on health and nicotine dependence are unknown, Foulds pointed out, "We might actually need e-cigarettes that are better at delivering nicotine because that is what is more likely to help people quit." While carrying out the study, the researchers developed an online survey, including questions designed to assess previous dependence on cigarettes and almost identical questions to assess current dependence on ecigs. More than 3,500 current users of e-cigs who were for-
mer tobacco cigarette smokers participated in the survey. The researchers found that people with all the characteristics of a more dependent ecig user still had a lower e-cig dependence score than their tobacco cigarette dependence score. "We think this is because they are getting less nicotine from the e-cigs than they were getting from tobacco cigarettes," Foulds explained. "Any common sense analysis says that e-cigs are much less toxic. And our paper shows that they appear to be much less addictive, as well," he added.

In the Leafs case power is via a 107 horsepower 207 lb.-ft. of torque, 80-kW electric motor, powered by a 192-cell lithium-ion battery that is recharged by plugging into a normal wall socket. The 2015 Leaf features as standard features Bluetooth, heated front and rear seats, rear-view monitor, smart key with push-button start, heated and power side mirrors, cruise control, steering wheel-mounted controls, heated leather steering wheel, AM/FM/CD audio system with iPod compatibility and USB input, 60/40 split-folding rear seat, portable trickle charger, 16inch steel wheels, power locks and windows, six airbags, and more Options include Navigation, fog lights,

heated and they also have their own heating and cooling ducts. And now the big question is the range. Just how far will the Nissan Leaf travel on a single electric charge? Nissan says the Leaf will go up to 135 kilometres on a single charge The “Carwings” telematics service includes a map that can allow you to monitor driving habits, economy parameters and other metrics and can be accessed or downloaded via a smart phone. If you fear you could stranded somewhere when the battery runs out- not to worry, a screen on the car’s computer estimates how many kilometres can be added to the total remaining if electrical draws such as the climate system are turned off. However its is only common sense to be constantly aware of the range left in the battery all the times. A Leaf can also be recharged in three differentways – via a portable charging cable stored in its trunk that you can plug into any standard electricity outlet. This so-called trickle charger is the slowest way to charge the car. From emptyit takes about 20 hours to get a full charge. Nissan also sells a home/public charging unit that is faster and more powerful: From empty, it takes about four hours to get a full charge. Nissan is also introducing its quick charger unit which can charge 80% of the battery in just under half an hour. This is the fastest way to get a charge. A smartphone app also enables lets owners manage charging times, pre-heat and pre-cool the cabin while the car is plugged in, and control the vehicle in other ways. The car will alert them when charging is done, or if it stops before it's complete. The same functions can also be accessed from the car's display screen.A small solar panel on the rear roof provided a trickle charge to the 12-volt battery that runs the peripherals such as air conditioning radio and electrics. Driving the Leaf is easy with a pushbutton start and small flicks of the small gearshift “knob” which also has an eco-mode for more efficient use of the power. Electric cars provide instant torque unlike gasoline cars and the acceleration is smooth and silent. The steering is light and the Leaf feels solid and substantial. A special noisemaker that alerts pedestrians to your presence via an alert chime is much needed as the Leaf is eerily quiet when in slow traffic The Leaf is at it element in the city where the Leafs regenerative braking systemcontinuously recharges the battery and extend the cars range. You might not have to pay for gas anymore, but the Leaf is actually expensive with a base Leaf ringing in at $31,798. Options can jack the price up to - $38,548. Still Natural Resources Canada estimates a comparative fuel economy at (L/100 km) 1.9 city, 2.3 highway which no gas powered car achieves. So you do save money in the long run. Government rebates may still be available to make the Leaf more affordable, and in many cities, you get dedicated parking spots and access to HOV lanes. What more could you ask for? By Autoreviewman Pricing: 2015 Nissan Leaf Price: base $31,798 - $38,548 (plus up to $8,500 in government incentives)
