India becomes first country to put a spacecraft into orbit around Mars in maiden attempt
GUARANTEED Absolute Lowest Prices !
Bangalore (IANS): India Wednesday created space history by becoming the first country in the world to put a spacecraft into orbit around Mars in its debut attempt. A beaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi, wearing a red jacket symbolic of the Red Planet, described it as "achieving the near impossible", congratulated the feat of Indian scientists and called for challenging the next frontier. India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) traversed over 650 million km through deep space for over nine months to successfully reach the planet's orbit. The US, Europe and Russia had failed in their first attempts. "The spacecraft (Orbiter) successfully entered the Martian orbit at 7.55 a.m. and is located at about 515 km from its surface...," a senior space official told IANS at the mission control centre here. Radars at the earth stations of NASA at Goldstone in the US, Madrid in Spain, Canberra in Australia and India's own deep space network at Baylalu near Bangalore received the radio signals from the Orbiter, confirming

its insertion into the Mars orbit. Modi, who witnessed the event from an Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) facility in Bangalore, said that the successful Mars mission "must become a base for challenging the next frontier". The success "will go down as landmark in history", said a visibly delighted Modi. India's Mars mission is "a shining symbol of what we are capable of as a nation" and we have gone beyond boundaries of human enterprise and imagination, he added. The 475 kg (dry mass) Orbiter will take 77 hours or 3.2 earth days to rotate around the red planet over the next six months and will study its surface and mineral composition and scan its
atmosphere for methane gas in search of life-sustaining el emen ts. Th e p r ime minister said that the MOM was built "indigenously, in a pan-Indian effort". "With today's spectacular success, ISRO joins an elite group of only three other agencies worldwide to have successfully reached the Red Planet," he added amidst applause. "Of the 51 missions attempted across the world so far, a mere 21 had succeeded. But we have prevailed...Travelling an incredible distance, of over 650 million or 65 crore km, we have gone beyond boundaries of human enterprise and imagination." Indians, including those living abroad, were elated and many took to Facebook and Twitter saying "mission
accomplished". # M a n g a l y a a n #MissionMars #proudindian were some of the top trending topics on Twitter a n d Fa c e b o o k s i n c e Wednesday morning. The success of the Mars mission has made India join the elite club of the US, Europe and Russia, which reached the second smallest planet of our solar system after initial failures. India also became the first Asian country to have entered the Mars sphere of influence (gravity) Tuesday, as a similar mission by China failed in 2011. The success of the mission to Mars will "inspire our scientists to make even greater strides", said President Pranab Mukherjee who described it as a "historic achievement". The

final orbiting exercise began at 4.17 a.m. Wednesday. After rotating the Orbiter towards Mars at 6.57 a.m., the main engine was ignited at 7.17 a.m. for enabling the spacecraft enter its orbit from the sun orbit, where it cruised for over nine months and 24 days during its voyage to Mars from the Earth. During the crucial operation, when a solar eclipse occurred on Mars from 7.12 a.m., the main engine started its burn at 7.30 a.m. and lasted for 24 minutes till 7.54 a.m. to swing the spacecraft into the Martian orbit. The speed of the spacecraft was also reduced. The Rs.450-crore ($70 million) ambitious mission was launched Nov 5, 2013, on board a polar rocket from spaceport Sriharikota off Bay of Bengal, about 80 km northeast of Chennai. As the fourth planet away from sun, Mars is the second smallest celestial body in the solar system. Named after the Roman god of war, it is also known as the Red Planet due to the presence of iron oxide in abundance on its surface, giving it a reddish appearance.

holding a "Citizens' Court" to try him for his alleged role in the 2002 Gujarat riots. The Indian Supreme Court has exonerated Modi thrice for his alleged failure to control the riots as Gujarat chief minister, as the New York Times noted, but a Sikh human rights group plans to indict him right when he is holding his Sep 30 summit with President Barack Obama. The indictment proceedings for "attacks on religious minorities in India" would be "conducted in a replica court room set up in the President's Park right in the front of the White House", and telecast live throughout
the US, rights group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) announced. To publicise Modi's indictment proceedings, SFJ has launched an advocacy campaign by renting dioramas displaying Modi's mug shot at several metro stations in the capital with the approval of Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, it said. SFJ said it has collaborated with American Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee (AGPC), an umbrella organisation of more than 70 US gurudwaras, to mobilise the Sikh community to attend the indictment proceedings against Modi. Meanwhile, the recent-
ly formed Alliance for Justice and Accountability (AJA) also announced that it would show Modi black flags when he heads for the Indian-American community's public reception at the Madison Square Garden in mid-town Manhattan Sep 28. "Black Flags for visiting PM Modi," said the AJA in a flyer sent to its members Monday. "Come join us as we stand in protest of Narendra Modi's visit and talk in New York City at Madison Square Garden on September 28th," the alliance said in a Facebook post. AJA has been largely formed by Indian-
American organisations and individuals who were part of Coalition Against Genocide (CAG), which had successfully campaigned for denial of US visa to Modi when he was Gujarat chief minister. "The alliance has been formed in the wake of increasing violence and incendiary rhetoric against minorities led by organisations and parties aligned with the Sangh Parivar," said Shaikh Ubaid, a founding member of both CAG and the new alliance. "Its initial objective is to use the high profile visit of Narendra Modi to draw attention to the threats to India's pluralism," he said.

New Delhi (IANS) India ranks the lowest in the world on several health indicators and a large part of the country's population has little or no access to good quality healthcare, according to a report released here Wednesday. The health crisis is aggravated by a rising incidence of chronic and non-infectious diseases, the India Infrastructure Report 2013-14: The Road to Universal Health Coverage, released here said.
The report was released by Rajiv Lall, executive chairman, IDFC, a leading finance company. The report said that the public health system is in jeopardy, due to decades of appallingly low public investments, inadequate and antiquated infrastructure, severe shortage of human resources and inadequacies in government policies. "Failed public health systems have forced people to turn to the private sector, which is costly
and unregulated, with services often being provided by unqualified medical practitioners," it said. It goes on to say that preventive and primary healthcare have been marginalized with the focus having shifted to curative tertiary care, higher importance of clinical medicine, and extremely high dependence on clinical investigations. "Health expenditures can be prohibitively high with the rural population
and the urban poor being the worst sufferers," the report by IDFC said. The report draws the readers' attention to some of the emerging issues in the health sector such as rising burden of non-communicable diseases and mental health, human resource crisis in health sector and health concerns of informal sector workers, and steps required to attend to them within the Universal Healthcare Framework.

Cabinet approves several MoUs with US New Delhi (IANS): Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US, the union cabinet Wednesday approved a number of agreements between the two countries. Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said that in a meeting chaired by the prime minister, the cabinet agreed on India participating in the construction of a 30-metre telescope being built by the US in Hawaii. The telescope will be constructed at a cost of $1.47 billion by an international consortium consisting of institutions from the US, Canada, Japan, India and China. India has earmarked Rs.1,299.8 crore for it. Another MoU between the two nations pertains to cooperation in "gas hydrates". "This is for cooperation in
exploring natural gas in marine sediments," Prasad said. The US Department of Energy (USDoE) in the field of gas hydrates, will facilitate active participation of the National Gas Hydrate Programme (NGHP) and DoE scientists in data collection, analysis and identification of sites for pilot production testing. On a number of initiatives announced on education, the cabinet gave its approval for signing a joint declaration between India's human resource development (HRD) ministry and the National Science Foundation (NSF) of the US, to initiate a new programme titled Global Initiative of Academic Networks (GIAN) in Higher Education. Another agreement will be
for cooperation and support to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Yet another one will be on a programme for partnership for "active learning for young aspiring minds". "It will be an online education programme, and will be later integrated with national mission for education," Prasad said. This Indo-US Partnership for Online Education (IUPOE) programme will comprise a mechanism that will enable the top universities of the US (top 100 in global rankings) to create and share postgraduate online courses (and associated assets) on the Indian "SWAYAM" platform. SWAYAM is an online platform of the HRD ministry through which online programmes will be offered to students in India.
Now, drones to tackle nuclear emergencies! Mumbai (IANS): India has developed a remote-controlled drone for responding to and preventing radiological emergencies in public places, a top official said Wednesday. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) Chairman R.K. Sinha announced the development at the 58th session of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna. "For prevention of and response to radiological emergencies, including threat of Radiological Dispersal Device,
a Quadrotor-based Aerial Radiation Monitoring System (QARMS) has been developed," Sinha said. The QARMS can be used to search Orphan Radioactive Sources and assess any spread of radioactive contamination following radiological emergencies. A Quadrotor is a helicopter that is lifted and propelled by four rotors. Besides the QARMS, India has also developed a 'Quick Scantype Whole Body Monitor' to measure internal contamina-
tion in human beings. This will further enhance preparedness in radiological emergencies. With a counting time of one minute, the system can detect inhaled or ingested gamma emitters delivering less than 10 micro-Gray effective dose. With a rate of monitoring fifty individuals per hour, this system will serve as a valuable tool for quickly screening potentially affected individuals in case of a radiological emergency in public domain, Sinha explained.
A deal to enhance cooperation on energy security, clean energy and climate change was also approved.
"These MoUs are a symbol of the growing cooperation between India and the US. It also symbolises the excite-

US Congress and a strong supporter of Modi. Gabbard, a 33-year-old US Democrat Congresswoman from Hawaii, is also an Iraq war veteran. Gabbard, the first practicing Hindu American in the Congress who took her oath on the Bhagwad Gita, had spoken to Modi after his victory in the general election and congratulated him and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). She has been involved in the planning of Modi's US visit and had last month met two BJP leaders -- Vijay Jolly and MP Rajyavardhan Rathore -- in that connection. Gabbard has always maintained that it was a "great blunder" by the US government to have denied a visa to Modi in the wake of the 2002 Gujarat riots. She is to attend the Sep 28 speech by Modi at Madison Square Garden, New York, where he will address thousands

of Indian Americans. The event has been organized by the Indian American Community Foundation. According to her website, "Tulsi was born in 1981 in Leloaloa, American Samoa, the fourth of five children born to Carol and State Senator Mike Gabbard." Besides being the first member of the Hindu faith to be elected to the Congress, she is also one of just two female combat veterans ever to hold a seat. She joined the Hawaii Army National Guard after college and was deployed to Iraq in 2004 and in Kuwait in 2009. She was vocal in criticizing the arrest of Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade and said in a statement last December that she was "disappointed" when she found out about Khobragade's initial treatment by law enforcement officials and added that while foreign diplomats must uphold US law they are also entitled to dignified treatment. Gabbard maintained that Khobragade's arrest should not come at the expense of such a vital partnership between the two nations. She has also been forceful in opposing a US House Resolution, 417, last year which condemned India's religious freedom record. The resolution was widely condemned by the Indian and Hindu American communities as flawed and inaccurate. Gabbard criticized the resolution, saying the "417 weakens, rather than strengthens, the friendship between the United States and India. The resolution runs counter to all the hard work that the American people, particularly those in the Indian American community, have done to improve the relationship." "Throughout history, India as a nation has been home to many religions, and has protected many as well, including Tibetan Buddhists, Jews, Christians, and Muslims," she had said in a statement. After Modi's victory in the AprilMay election, she issued a statement saying she looked forward to "working with Mr. Modi and other members of the Indian government toward our mutual goals of peace, stability, and economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region. "A partnership between the world's two largest and greatest democracies is necessary for us to successfully address the many global challenges we face, including economic growth, bilateral trade, the environment, terrorism, and security."

New Delhi (IANS): Stating that it was being penalised for fighting India's battle against prolonged militancy, the Punjab government Monday sought the intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bail out the state from debt and other issues that were hampering its growth. Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal met Modi here Monday and impressed upon him to grant a liberal financial package for bailing out the state from the financial stringency. Pressing for the waiver of outstanding debt of Rs.1.02 lakh crore on account of militancy (between 19811992), the chief minister said: "Punjab fought the national battle for which it should not be penalised anymore." He said Punjab was a revenue surplus state till 1982, but due to the burden of
this debt coupled with industrial concessions to the neighbouring states, led to further flight of capital and stopped any fresh investments. "This accentuated our woes and pushed our state in the whirlpool of debt trap," Badal said. The ruling Shiromani Akali Dal has been running an alliance government with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state since 2007. Pleading for a special term loan waiver and refund of Rs.2,694 crore paid by Punjab for fighting
militancy, the chief minister said the central government gave special term loan of Rs.5,800 crore for militancy-related expenditure and Punjab paid back Rs.2,694 crore. He said Rs.5,029 crore was outstanding when the Centre announced a complete waiver of the loan, and added that Rs.2,694 crore already paid by Punjab also needed to be returned to the state as this was also part of the complete waiver. Seeking a waiver in the central government's loans in view of the state's dis-
tressed financial position, Parkash Singh Badal said that the 13th Finance Commission had already placed Punjab, Kerala and West Bengal in the category of revenue deficit states and recommended to the Centre to find out ways and means to bail out these states from financial stress. Making a strong case for special industrial package for the state, the chief minister urged Modi to grant industrial concession to Punjab at par with those granted to Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. He said the concessions to neighbouring hill states have led to flight of industry from Punjab and the state was not getting any new investment. "Punjab is not against giving concessions to these states, but at the same time, such concessions must be granted to Punjab," he said.
Akali Dal-BJP alliance strong: Punjab Chief Minister Chandigarh (IANS): With the BJP's 25-year-old alliance with Shiv Sena coming under strain before the Maharashtra assembly polls, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal Sunday said the alliance between the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the BJP in Punjab is strong and not comparable to any other alliance. "The SAD-BJP alliance has always stood the test of time. It is wrong to compare this alliance with any other one in
the country," Badal told media in Faridkot, 225 km from here. Badal said: "The SAD-BJP alliance is everlasting and both the parties should not be seen as different from each other. It is a unique phenomenon of the Indian democratic system, which has passed every litmus test in last few decades." "It is sheer wastage of time to raise any sort of suspicion regarding the relationship between both the partners as the alliance was very strong
and impeccable." Badal's made the remarks while responding to queries on the strain the Bharatiya Janata Party-Shiv Sena alliance before the Maharashtra assembly polls over seat-sharing. "The alliance between the BJP and the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra is the personal matter of both these parties and it should not be linked with that of the SAD-BJP in Punjab," Badal said.
He said the relations between the SAD and BJP were "very cordial because they have been time and again been cemented with mutual affection and understanding". He said the alliance government in the state had put Punjab on high growth trajectory and made Punjab a peaceful state. The SAD-BJP alliance has been running the Punjab government since 2007.

MLA vs officer: Amarinder says Badal setting wrong precedent Chandigarh (IANS): The standoff between the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal and the opposition Congress over a spat between a Congress legislator and a woman civil servant is showing no signs of ending. Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha and former
chief minister Amarinder Singh Sunday said that Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal was setting a "wrong precedent" by ordering an inquiry against the Congress legislator by a commissioner-rank officer. "Badal is belittling the institution of a legislator, who hap-
pens to be an elected representative of the people and comes above the chief secretary in the standard government protocol," Amarinder Singh said. Badal Thursday ordered a probe into an incident in which Congress legislator from

Fatehgarh Sahib, Kuljit Singh Nagra, allegedly "misbehaved and used foul language" with a woman civil servant, SubDivisional Magistrate (SDM) Pooja Syal Grewal. The woman officer complained to the Fatehgarh Sahib deputy commissioner, alleging that Nagra misbehaved with her and used abusive language during a meeting over civic issues in Sirhind town. Nagra, on his part, alleged that the SDM misbehaved with him in front of other people and undermined his position as a public representative. He said when he went to meet the SDM over some civic problems being faced by the people, she reprimanded them from taking the issues to the legislator and told them to get in touch with her directly. This angered the Congress
legislator who objected to the statement. Patiala Division Commissioner Ajit Singh Pannu has been asked to conduct the inquiry into the incident. Accusing Badal of bowing to pressure of bureaucrats, Amarinder Singh said: "By marking an inquiry against a legislator to a commissionerlevel officer, Badal is undermining the standard protocol that places a legislator above the chief secretary." Amarinder Singh wondered why Badal marked the inquiry when the assembly speaker "was already seized of the matter and has summoned everybody involved in the case Sep 24". "You have not only tried to belittle the institution of a legislator, but also tried to undermine the constitutional author-
ity of the speaker of the Vidhan Sabha (assembly)," he said. "It is not the issue of a Congress legislator but about the elected representatives of the people who may belong to any party. Only the speaker can inquire into the matter and he was already on the job." "By assigning a parallel inquiry to the commissioner, Badal has apparently betrayed his lack of faith in the constitutional authority of the speaker," Amarinder Singh said. Punjab Congress leaders have defended the party legislator, saying that the woman officer's behaviour with him was uncalled for. The Congress leaders have also submitted a complaint with assembly Speaker Charanjit Singh Atwal on this issue. They sought action against the SDM.
Punjab warns officials against de-reserving posts Chandigarh (IANS): The Punjab government has issued strict directives against dereserving posts of reserved categories and converting these to other categories, an official spokesman said Sunday. All departments in the state government have been directed not to do this without securing prior approval from the welfare department's reservation cell. In a communique to all heads of departments (HoDs), divisional commissioners, deputy commissioners, registrar of Punjab and Haryana High Court, all sessions' judges and sub-divisional magistrates, the state government has clarified that the filling of vacant posts of reserved categories from other categories without approval would lead to a strict
disciplinary action. "If the posts reserved for SCs/BCs (Scheduled Castes/Backward Classes) were lying vacant due to nonavailability of qualified SC/BC category candidates, then the posts could not be de-reserved without getting prior approval from reservation cell of welfare department," the letter said. Punjab Welfare Minister Gulzar Singh Ranike said impartial and proper implementation of the reservation policy was constitutional responsibility of all departments and erring officers would have to face action if they failed to do this. The departments have been told that if there was non-availability of eligible candidates from reserved categories, the department concerned would
send a detailed dossier of proposed conversion of posts explaining that why these posts could not be filled from reserved categories, despite efforts. "It has been observed that some departments were violating the reservation laws and taking decisions in this regard at their own level without getting permission from reservation cell. The state government has taken a serious note in this regard as it affects the interests of Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes," the spokesman said. He added that in case of any violation of the instructions, strict action would be initiated against the erring officers who failed to implement the state's reservation policy in true spirit.

ChaiTime Breakfast equals success in school A recent study confirms that Canadians agree with the old adage “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”
“Westrive to help kids live up to their full potential and when children go to school hungr y that just isn't possible,” says Peggy Hornell, the executive director of President's Choice Children's Charity (PCCC). “Nutrition programs allow kids to focus on learning instead of on their hungry tummies – and the fight against childhood hunger has increasingly become the focus for PCCC,” she adds.
A recent poll revealed that 94 per cent of Canadian parents believe that having a nutritious breakfast is important in helping children succeed in school. Unfortunately, it appears that many children are not setup for success: 31 per cent of elementary school students and 62 per cent of secondar y school students say they do not eat a healthy breakfast before school.

Young Canadians today are growing up in the digital landscape. Their childhood is totally engaged in computers, digital video, cell phones, online games, and the Internet. Digital communication is at the centre of their social world and many children have email addresses and personal online profiles before they get to middle school. Mobile phones are a tool to text, snap photos and share it all with friends. Growing up online can deliver valuable ex p e r i e n c e s .

What your children say, post, and share online now can resurface and surprise them in their adult years. We tell our children to look both ways when crossing the street, and teach them to not talk to strangers, but it's also important to teach them to stay safe online.

KKR's great run continues in Hyderabad Hyderabad (IANS): Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) continues to have great run at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium here as they reached the semifinal of Oppo Champions League Twenty20 match with third
consecutive win. The team from Kolkata extended their winning streak to 12th match by beating Perth Scorchers, the champions team from Australia. After defeating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and
Lahore Lions, KKR came out with another impressive performance much to the delight of 15,000 odd fans. Every shot by the KKR batsmen drew loud cheers from the fans, many of whom were carrying flags
of the IPL champions. KKR, which is playing all its league matches here, enjoying the full backing of the Hyderabad crowd. Their bowling coach Wasim Akram has termed Hyderabad as the home away from home. "After
Kolkata, this is the best city for us. We are enjoying people's support here," said the Pakistani bowling legend. "It's both. The ground is lucky and we are also working hard," KKR batsman Suryakumar Yadav
had said after victory over Lahore Lions on Sunday. His unbeaten 43 off 19 deliveries helped KKR to seal the win. The Kolkata team will play one more league match before playing semifinal Oct 2.
Indian coaches should get more recognition: Sports minister New Delhi (IANS): Joining the foreign versus Indian coach debate, Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal Thursday said the cricket team’s recent success in the limited-overs tournament in England under Ravi Shastri can be taken as an example and applied in other sports as well. "I fully agree that Indian coaches should get due recognition as we have a lot of accomplished domestic coaches as well as some great former players," Sonowal said on the sidelines of a sports event here. "Look how our Indian cricket coaches (referring to Ravi Shastri and Co.) did well recently. We should follow the same line in other events also." India had won the fivematch One-Day
Sarbananda Sonowal
International (ODI) series 3-1 against England earlier this month after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) designated former captain Shastri as the director of the team, following the squad's dismal 1-3 loss in the fivematch Test series.
Sonowal also defended the ministry’s decision to send the national football team to the 17th Asian Games where the Sunil Chettri-led side has been eliminated in the group stage. "Football is a very popular game in the country. I have seen that sports lovers in our country want football to be promoted. We would be having the U-17 FIFA World Cup in India in three years time. That's the biggest event happening in the history of international football," added the minister. "We have to produce international class footballers and for that we need to promote the sport in a bigger way." Sonowal also hoped that India will be able to repeat their 2010 Asiad performance where they won 65 medals.

Rekha does a Madhubala in 'Super Nani'
BOLLYWOOD'S evergreen beauty Rekha has dressed a la Madhubala's character from "Mughal-
e-Azam" for a song sequence in her upcoming movie "Super Nani", where she will also reprise the magic of ageless Bollywood tracks. Taking styling cues from
iconic actresses like Madhubala and Waheeda, Rekha will dance to the tunes of various songs, like "Pyaar kiya toh darna kya", all entwined into one particular song for the movie. "In the song, Rekha will be seen dancing to some old classics dressed as iconic actresses such as
Madhubala, Waheeda Rahmaan from their famous movies such as 'Mughal-e-Azam' and 'Howrah Bridge' as part of the storyline," a source close to the film's unit said. Rekha was initially hesitant to do the song, which is choreographed by Shabina Khan. But she is said to have given a goahead after much persuasion by the film's unit, including director Indra Kumar. "When we approached Rekhaji with the concept, initially she was hesitant to portray such a cult and respected figure like Madhubala onscreen. But we expressed to her that her inimitable talent will truly justify the scene and re-enactment of the iconic song of one of the most celebrated actresses," Kumar said in a statement.

Bang Bang' different from 'Knight and Day': Hrithik
FORTHCOMING Bollywood action entertainer "Bang Bang" has been called the official remake of Tom Cruise-starrer "Knight and Day", but its lead actor Hrithik
Roshan says it's different and "better". At the launch of an official "Bang Bang" game here Monday, Hrithik was asked that since his movie is an adaptation of a Hollywood movie, how much pressure did he feel to live upto it. To that, the 40-year-old, who's done some daredevil stunts for the movie, said: "This is better, always better. Why would I do something if I
know it can't be done any better? Also, it's not the same film." "If you did not know it was an adaptation, while seeing 'Bang Bang' it would not even occur to you that the germ was from 'Knight and Day'. So it's an entirely different film," he added. Fox Star Studios has produced "Bang Bang", which also stars Katrina Kaif and releases Oct 2. (IANS)
duced by Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria, deals with women empower-
ment. Featuring actors like Sharman Joshi, Shweta Kumar, Anupam Kher and

CHECKOUT NISSAN: CANADA’S FASTEST GROWING BRAND
It’s all good at Applewood
media technologies. These include the standard nextgeneration AcuraLink™ connected car system with collision notification (complimentary for 4 years ), a standard Multi-Angle Rearview Camera and Expanded View Driver’s side mirror, along with available Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow and Blind Spot Information (BSI) system. Powertrain on the MDX is a new 3.5-litre, 290-horsepower direct-injected iVTEC V-6 engine rated at 290 peak horsepower and 267 lb.-ft. of peak torque (both SAE net). This 24valve V-6 engine is Acura’s second Earth Dreams™ Technology engine, which features a next-generation set of advancements that greatly enhance both driving performance and fuel efficiency. For the first time, the MDX has standard Variable Cylinder Management (VCM), which switches seamlessly between 3- and 6-cylinder modes, depending on engine load, effectively varying engine displacement to match driving conditions for improved fuel efficiency. Compared to the 3.7-litre engine it replaces, the 3.5litre V-6 in the 2014 MDX offers an 8-percent increase in torque at engine speeds below 2,750 rpm for greater overall responsiveness. Due to improved operating efficiency, horsepower output per liter is up two percent and torque output per liter is up 4.4 percent compared to the previous model’s engine Traction to all four wheels is via the excellent SH-AWD, (Super Handling All Wheel Drive) system) which can split torque between the right and left wheels and send extra torque to the outside wheels when cornering. This ‘Torque splitting’ allows for the outside wheels to provide extra traction when needed. On the road the MDX is fast and agile. The V-TEC variable valve technology engine is smooth and powerful and provides instant acceleration. If you wish, you can use the shift paddles on the steering wheel to auto change gears. A driver operated button allows for control of the ride modes - Comfort ride mode is good for a full complement of passengers whilst Sport mode adds sharper handling and more feedback.

For the 2014 model year, Volkswagen Canada has taken the Passat, and made it even more attractive by including some of the most popular options in the standard equipment list without increasing the price. The Passat is now available in three trim levels, and with a choice of engines at each level. The range of engines includes a new, more economical 170 horsepower five cylinder turbocharged engine, an excellent super fuel efficient TDI Clean Diesel, or a powerful 280 h.p. V6 engine. Transmission choices range from either a five or six speed manual transmission, through to a six speed automatic with tiptronic manual control or a six-speed DSG automatic. Now standard on the price leading "Trendline" model are: 16" alloy wheels, heated front seats and washer nozzles, illuminated vanity mirrors and rear center armrest with storage. 2014 Passat Trendline Package includes: 16" alloy wheels, 60/40 split rear seat with centre armrest, automatic headlamps, Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity, leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, multifunction trip computer, illuminated vanity mirrors, heated front seats, exterior mirrors and washer nozzles, and seatback map pockets. 2014 Passat Comfortline available from $27,075: Package includes all Trendline features plus: 17" alloy wheels, power driver's seat, alarm system, brushed aluminum trim, slideable front armrest, chrome exterior trim, front and rear reading lights, power sunroof, Sirius satellite radio, and iPod connectivity. Our tester was an upscale 1.8T Midnight Blue Night 2014 Passat Highline available from $32,550. The Highline package adds all Comfortline features plus: Memory seat and exterior mirrors, auto- dimming interior mirror, enhanced chrome exterior trim, 400W Fender premium audio system, front fog lamps, Homelink, Keyless access and ignition, MIDI (Media Device Interface with IPod connectivity), Leather/Dinamica seating surfaces, nut burl interior trim, and remote start. Optional equipment on our tester included the sport package comprising of nice looking 18-inch “Bristol” wheels with all-season tires, carbon interior trim, Passat logo aluminum door sill plates paddle shifters for the automatic transmission and a rear spoiler. The light airy, cabin in our tester was further enhanced by the Cornsilk Beige leather trimmed seats and interior. VW’s attention to interior is awesomely impressive with superb ergonomics and design. Devoid of nonsense or trashy bling, it is a codified monument to impeccable taste, common sense and restraint. The plastics are high quality and the attention to fit and finish is first class. Seats are firm, yet comfortable and offer good lumbar support. Front driver and passenger room is good although rear legroom can be a little cramped for those adults with longer legs. On the road the Passat has a good whack of acceleration and tremendous torque delivered from the optional 6speed automatic DSG transmission. The new 1.8 liter five cylinder engine is very impressive with its 170 horsepower and its 184 pound-feet of torque.
decent amount of grip. In urban areas its light direct steering makes neat work of parking and low speed driving. Fuel economy is rated at an impressive 8.7 L/100km in the city and 5.7 on the highway. Overall the new 2014 is an evolutionary cautious, yet clever change to the Passat lineup offering fuel efficiency and the iron cats reliability, feel and solidity the Passat has always offered. Full mark on this car and highly recommended as an excellent family sedan.By Autoreviewman

New Delhi (IANS): India's only individual Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra was re-elected as one of the seven members of the International Shooting Sport Federation's (ISSF) Athlete Commission. Bindra, who was first elected during the 2010 World Shooting Championships in Munich, was reelected during the just concluded Worlds in Granada, Spain. Out of the 13 athletes nominated by the respective member federations, Bindra emerged as one of the top candidates for the four vacant slots. The others to be elected were Serbian Zorana Arunovic, Marco De Nicolo
from Italy and German Henri Junghaenel. "It's a great moment for all of us to see that shooters from all over the world have faith in Abhinav and his professionalism," National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) president Raninder Singh said in a statement Wednesday. "We at NRAI are confident of providing all possible support to Abhinav and all other shooters from the country for their growth and development." The remaining three committee members, with its chairman, will be appointed by the ISSF Executive Committee Nov 29 in Munich.

'Liar's Dice' is India's entry for Oscar
NATIONAL Award winning Hindi film "Liar's
Dice", starring acclaimed actors Geetanjali Thapa and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, is India's entry for the best foreign film category at the 87th Academy Awards. The film has been chosen by a 12-member jury appointed by the Film Federation of India (FFI),

Yet to fix marriage date: Kunal Kapoor
"RANG De Basanti" actor Kunal Kapoor, who got engaged to his ladylove Naina Bachchan earlier this year, says they haven't yet fixed a wedding date. But he admits they are in a "happy relationship".
"I am a private person. I don't talk much about it (my personal life), but we haven't really got down and fixed the date or decided when to get married. It will happen soon for sure," Kunal told IANS. Will it be this year? "We are really not sure right now. We have to sit down and decide on the dates. We are in a good space and in a very happy relationship and happy together. But the date we haven't fixed as yet. I really don't know whether this year or next year," he added.

Sanjay Gupta to add more weight to 'Jazbaa' cast
FILMMAKER Sanjay Gupta is thrilled about the way his next project "Jazbaa", starring Aishwarya Rai, Irrfan Khan and Anupam Kher, is shaping up. He has hinted that he's getting more big names to join the cast. Gupta, who's busy writing the screenplay for the
film, is confident that "this movie is gonna be another beast altogether". "Can't wait to bring it to life on screen. The excitement a writer/director feels when he knows he has a kicka** cast to bring it all alive is unparalleled. ARB, Irfan, Anupam have been announced as the key
players in JAZBAA. But more wajandaar names yet to be announced. This is EXCITING," he shared on Twitter Monday. "Jazbaa", which promises to be former beauty queen Aishwarya's first full-fledged action film, is uniting Gupta and veteran actor Anupam after 19 years. (IANS)

2014 Cadillac SRX: Beautiful Crossover has class written all over it! By Autoreviewman Introduced in 2004, the SRX was Cadillac’s first attempt at selling what’s known in marketing circles as a “midluxury” crossover. For 2014 it arrives with a few changes, all SRX models now come standard with a 3.6-litre V6
engine, developing 308 hp and 265 lb.-ft. of torque. Other changes for 2014 include just two trim levels: FWD and AWD, and a new exterior colors—Graphite Metallic, Terra Mocha Metallic and Sapphire Blue Metallic—there is a new Caramel interior with Ebony
accents. As usual a plethora of several option packages are available to choose from. For 2014 Cadillac has added its Intellibeam headlamps as part of the Driver Awareness Package. Replacing the old SRX’s 3.6-litre V6 and 4.8-litre V8 engines are a pair of new

V6s. The base power plant is a 3.0-litre direct-injected V6 with 265 horsepower, while the upgrade is a turbocharged 2.8-litre with 300 horses; both engines are available with front- or allwheel drive. While both are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The exterior styling is still a sharp angular blend of sharp creases and pointy razor edged details. Soft-touch materials dominate interior surfaces and look as luxurious as they feel. The heated steering wheel is the icing on the cake as far as I am concerned. Option packages include the Luxury & Performance Collection. This essentially combines the otherwise distinct Luxury and Driver’s packages, bringing together the Luxury Package’s wood trim, UltraView sunroof, cargo security shade; power adjustable pedals, automatic wipers, pushbutton start, power liftgate, front and rear parking assist and chrome roof rails. One of the SRX's most attractive features is its competent list of standard equipment. There are four available trim levels for the new SRX: base, Luxury Collection, Performance Collection and Premium Collection. Even the base model comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, a power driver seat, 60/40-split-folding and reclining rear seatbacks, dual-zone automatic climate control and an eight-speaker Bose sound system. Higher trim levels offer all the toys including a sunroof,
a power liftgate, leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, xenon headlamps and a hard-drive-based navigation system with a backup camera. I like the haptic control feedback from the sleek touch operated center control that buzzes back so you know the commands has been executed. I also got used to the vibrating warning buzz on the right seats thigh bolster that send an alert or warning for various safety measures…very clever. High-end all- wheeldrive models (including all turbocharged SRXs) also receive a sport-tuned suspension with continuously variable damping. All-wheel drive SRXs run in front-drive mode in normal driving, and will send power to the rear wheels automatically when the going gets slippery. As well, the system uses GM’s rear eLSD (electronic limited slip differential), which can split torque sent rearward between the leftand right-side wheels. On the road it is easy to switch between the normal and real-time suspension mode, which is done by moving the shifter into its
manual shift gate, which puts the transmission and suspension into “sport” mode. The 3.0-litre engine is adequate in the SRX and offers official fuel consumption ratings are 12.2/8.8 L/100 km (city/highway) with all-wheel drive; in city driving. The turbocharged motor helps considerably, thanks in large part to its ample low-end torque. The SRX boasts confident and capable handling and a highquality interior that's notably quiet at highway speeds. I came away liking the fast acceleration, zippy and responsive V6 engine and its decent enough fuel economy. Nothing much to complain about, as with most Cadillac’s, the exterior look is polarizing, but it is definitely one of the most distinctive-looking vehicles in this class and well worth a look if a Cadillac is your thing. Well-built, impressive and one to put on the shopping list when looking for a premium luxury sporty crossover for sure.By Autoreviewman
The 2014 Cadillac SRX pricing starts at $41,285

2014 Chevrolet Impala: Classic sedan has evne more value and style By Autoreviewman The Impala model name must be one of the longest lived names for a Chevrolet model. first debuting in 1958 , its been a solid four-door sedan, a fabulous convertible and a high per-
formance coupe in its many variants. The 1960's, two- door convertible version and coupes are still one of the most collectible series of Chevrolets ever made. So what's new after nine generations? Well, for 2014 the all-new,
tenth generation 2014 Chevrolet Impala returns with a fresh contemporary design and some newly minted mojo. For openers a dramatic, long lean body exterior is now offered with some real allAmerican flair. The recessed
side character line adds some tension and speed to the profile and a radical c-pillar puts some flourish along with some nice chrome trim on the exterior. This time around instead of giving us a rather bland front and rear fascia as has been the case previously, Chevrolet stylists went that little extra mile. The result is a more attractive chiseled front end and a defined rear end light treatment. In fact it is not all looks as the sweeping roofline, aero door mirrors and taillights have reduced drag by 14%. Based on GM's new Global Epsilon chassis the Chevrolet is well engineered and revised for maximum efficiency. The Impala arrives with a base 2.4L 4-cylinder engine producing 182 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque or a bigger. more powerful 3.6L V6 with 303 horsepower and 264 lb-ft of torque mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Also new is an attractive, contemporary interior with a cool dual cockpit theme and the use of higher quality materials. The centre stack is attractively done and easy on the eye. There is a richer look and more substantial padding on the doors, armrest and dash. The cabin feels more generous and well- upholstered. The front seats are superbly comfortable and feature plenty of legroom. Like wise front headroom and shoulder room as in most domestic cars, is more than ample The dash is also bright and well laid out with clear, legible instruments and the addition of
a 8� touchscreen relaying and operating the Impalas climate, navigation and entertainment systems. There is also a smaller information screen between the gauges that is handy for relaying info at a quick glance. Push a button and the centre display rises to reveal a lockable secret storage cubby for valuables. The 2014 Chevrolet offers a slew of technology, including the newest generation MyLink infotainment system. Voice activation is used for navigation programming, dialing phone numbers and for the audio songs. Safety is also well catered for with a range of systems: An optional adaptive cruise control uses radar technology to calculate traffic ahead then adjusts the Impala's speed accordingly or brings the vehicle to a safe full stop, if necessary. Collision Mitigation Braking is also present, and uses an audio warning and, if necessary, applies the brakes to avoid a collision. On the road, the 2014 Chevrolet Impala like its predecessors makes for a smooth, sublime highway cruiser. The long wheelbase and well designed chassis make for a comfortable riding car. The Impalas is no harsh riding Euro sport sedan for sure and trades sport for luxury. However it no wallowing land yacht of old either with new engineering offering reinforced front strut towers and tuned suspension for more control and road feel. The hydraulic suspension bushings and well calibrated rear dampers offer
good rough road absorption and a well defined ride for rear passengers. The Impala is also admirably quite on the road with such measures as laminated glass and acoustic foam between body panels to insulate road noise and vibration. The 2.4 liter four cylinder engine is good for its performance and the 182 horsepower is perfectly adequate, however the bigger 305 horsepower engine turns the Impala into a much faster accelerating and more powerful sedan and gives it some more spark should you need it. This engine is rated at 11.1L/100km city and 6.9L highway. The Impala is easy on the eye, easy to drive and a very comfortable roomy sedan that does not seem a tad cramped and rushed like its Asian competition. For the money the Impala comes incredibly well equipped with luxury and option packs that won't break the bank and would cost you ten of thousands of dollars more in higher prices imports. Build quality is up as it has been for many years at GM and the Impala represents amazing value for money in term of and the engineering and technology you gain. It is quiet the impressive new car and deserves a test drive for sure. Highly recommended if a big comfortable easy to drive sedan on your list. By Autoreviewman

Ford Tops Ranking of Best Global Green Brands Ford Motor Company was recognized this week for its commitment to sustainability, ranking No. 1 on Interbrand’s 2014 list of the
“We are honored to be named No. 1 in the 2014 Best Global Green Brands,” said Robert Brown, vice president, Sustainability,
to capture public perception of the brands’ sustainable or green practices and compares that to environmental or sustainability performance data collected and analyzed by Deloitte Consulting LLP. "Over the past few years, Ford has proven to be a sustainability leader," noted Jez Frampton, Interbrand's Global Chief Executive Officer. "Sustainability is fully inte-
grated into Ford's overall business strategy. As such, the company is able to swiftly identify and address its impact on the environment and society across every facet of its operations. Continuing to invest in alternative energy sources and fuel-saving technologies – and educating consumers on its benefits, will be key to enhancing its business and brand value over time."
Nail Fungus? 50 Best Global Green Brands. The automaker beat out last year’s winner – Toyota – along with corporate heavy-weights Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola and Microsoft. Ford claimed the top spot for its forwardthinking approach to environmentally responsible and sustainable manufacturing, greater transparency about its business operations, and for disclosure of information, particularly in the area of manufacturing. Ford’s focus on water, highlighted in the company’s recently released 15th annual Sustainability Report, as well as its waste-reduction and green building efforts, contributed to the company’s rise to the top.
Environment & Safety Engineering. “At Ford we are working to develop the highest-quality products in the market for our customers while manufacturing them in the most environmentally responsible manner and replicating this globally. This award tells us that our stakeholders agree.” When identifying the top 50 Best Global Green Brands each year, Interbrand starts with the 100 brands that make up its annual Best Global Brands report. Brands that appear on this annual ranking have a global presence and a demonstrated record of delivering value to their stakeholders. Interbrand then conducts extensive consumer research
Bollywood was not very welcoming: Sonali Raut MODEL-TURNED-ACTRESS Sonali Raut, who has entered reality show "Bigg Boss 8" in a bid to get "visibility", says her Bollywood debut with "The Xpose" didn't get her the recognition she had hoped for. Sonali played a sensuous grey character in the film. "Very frankly, Bollywood was not very welcoming. I played a character with grey shades and that went against
me. Bollywood still favours the sweet goody-goody girl," Sonali said before entering the reality show. But her career disappointment is not what has led her to "Bigg Boss 8", which is hosted by "Dabangg" star Salman Khan. "I am here to have fun. And my biggest incentive is Salman Khan. I’ll get to interact with him. I performed with him on the opening night to
the song 'Jumme ki raat'. As far as I was concerned, that was paisa vasool for me," she said. She is also hopeful to "get a certain amount of visibility through this show". "But more than that I am going into 'Bigg Boss' to have fun. I’ve watched the show very carefully in the past. I know it’s emotionally taxing. But I think I am prepared for it. (IANS)

How to keep common cold germs at bay Every day and especially during winter, we are exposed to common cold germs which spread easily from person to person through small mucus particles in the air. The pesky common cold causes an estimated 40% of work absenteeism and 30% of school absences. Although the symptoms normally improve within a week, they can also last up to two weeks. Fortunately, there are naturally-sourced and effective ways to keep common cold germs at bay: 1. Wash your hands: On average, people touch their face with their hand more than 5,000 times a day. So washing your hands with soap in lukewarm water is an effective way to reduce the chances of germs coming in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. This is especially important after using door knobs, public transport, after the gym, or after visiting a sick person. 2.Maintain a healthy lifestyle: To help your immune system fight germs,

“Saline nasal drops have been proven to reduce the length of colds because they eliminate germs that may be stuck in nasal cavities,” says Meriem Bouanane, a medical advisor. “They provide an effective and non-irritating natural-sourced solution to relieve nasal congestion and to facilitate breathing.” Other measures such as keeping counter tops clean, not smoking, and washing your children's toys when infected with a cold, can also help to keep germs away.
be sure to get enough sleep, eat healthy and remain active. Start your new routine by going to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual, take the stairs at work, add a piece of fruit to your lunch, or trade in your soft drink for a glass of water. 3. Use a saline nasal irrigation solution: For example, the daily use of a brand called hydraSense can help prevent and treat common cold symptoms. Be aware that a healthcare professional must be consulted for use of the product beyond six weeks.

2014 Toyota Tundra Crewmax Platinum pickup: The big truck with the big name! By Autoreviewman The Toyota Tundra is a handsome, full-size truck has just a few minor changes for 2014. Line-up wise, there are three body styles, three bed lengths and two trim levels available. The Double Cab models offer an adult-friendly backseat and front-hinged rear doors that make for easier access than the rear-hinged designs of competitors. The Crewmax Limited model with its huge rear cabin and superb luxury options is the one to get if you can run the tab. Other versions arrive in two-wheeldrive in SR5 trim, and 4X4 versions. Other models vary from basic and well- equipped to top-of-the-line Limited trim lines. Engine choices include a mighty 381-horsepower 5.7liter V8 that allows the Tundra to tow trailers that weigh up to 10,400 pounds. The styling is generally very good with a snub-nosed, broad shouldered look and big, ample proportions, the upmarket trim lines offer more exterior trim and bling. Opt for the Crewmax Limited and buyers – for a price gain such luxury amenities as dual-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated front seats and a 12-speaker JBL audio system. Standard equipment on entry-level Regular Cab models includes 18-inch steel wheels, chrome bumpers,
heated mirrors, full power accessories, a windshield wiper de-icer, a damped tailgate, power windows, dualzone air-conditioning, cloth upholstery, a 40/20/40-split bench seat, a tilt-only steering wheel and a four-speaker sound system with a CD player and an auxiliary audio jack. The entry-level Double Cab
level adds a bunch of exterior upgrades and luxury interior trimmings such as unique "Platinum Grade" grille, special chrome and body-colour front bumper, chromed mirror housings and door handles, plus 20-inch alloy rims on 275/55R20 all-season rubber. Delightful touches in the cabin included cool diamond quilt-
forated leather surfaces. My tester came with the only option available, a voiceactivated HDD navigation system with a larger integrated backup monitor, finishing off the premium experience quite nicely. Our tester had the smaller pickup bed size with Toyotas cargo restraint system and bed
adds intermittent windshield wipers, keyless entry, and an eight-way manually adjustable driver seat, 60/40-split fold-up rear seats, carpeting, cruise control and two extra speakers. The CrewMax adds a power vertical-sliding rear window and a sliding, reclining and fold-flat rear seat. Our tester was a 2014 “Barcelona Red” metallic Platinum model tester featuring the 5.7 liter i-FORCE V8 engine and console mounted shift gate lever for the transmission. The Platinum trim
ed effect upholstery on the upper passenger dash and upper seat backs. The headlights are automatic, a powered sun roof is standard along with Optitron gauges, an integrated multiinformation display, auto-dimming power folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals and puddle lamps, telescopic wood and leatherwrapped steering wheel with audio controls, 10-way powered driver and 4-way powered front passenger heated and ventilated seats with per-
liner and was also optioned with the Navigation Package with 4-disc CD changer; Voice activated HDD Navigation system, backup camera in Navigation Display with XM Real-Time Traffic Capability. Interior equipment included a 4-spoke steering wheel with audio controls, 12 speaker audio hookups and Dual Zone automatic climate control. The most impressive feature about the inside of the Crewmax Tundra is definitely the sheer volume of interior space, but more about that
later. Up front a well laid dash dominates along with a large front center console itself is big enough to hold a laptop and with enough cup holders, storage cubby holes to handle all of your needs; be they cellphones, chargers, a note book computer and other odds and ends. The front cabin can definitely double as a travelling mobile office! As alluded to previously, the rear cabin in the Crewmax is extraordinarily roomy with limousine-like legroom and ample shoulder, elbow and head room for three beefy adults. Rear seat occupants are also pampered by having heated seats, heater ducts and a cabin air filter. The large comfortable seats also fold down to provide yet more impressive cargo area if needed. The pickup bed had a tough liner cargo tie down and restraint system and an easy to pull down lightweight rear door. . On or off-road the Tundra performs well. Power gets to all four wheels via a 6Speed automatic with sequential shift and shift-onthe-fly capabilities. The transmission is also pretty seamless and you can shift from 4Hi to 2Hi simply by pushing a button. Once handy feature is the tow/haul mode that holds gears longer, both on acceleration and when going down hills. The Tundra’s drivetrain is built to be tough and safe and
included one touch 4WD Vehicle Stability control (VSC), Active Traction Control (ATRAC), Engine Undercover, Auto Limited Slip Rear Differential, and Engine and Transfer Case Protector Plates. The suspension is full heavy duty specification with double wishbone and coils springs up front and heavy duty multi leaf springs in the rear. Combine the chassis with the big V8 and the Tundra's tow rating 3,580- to 4,715-kilogram (7,900- to 10,400-lb) capability, depending on configuration, is near top of its class. Meanwhile it can carry 565- to 855-kg (1,255- to 1885-lb) in payload in the rear pickup bed Claimed fuel economy figures are 15.2 L/100km city and 10.9 highway for the rear-drive Tundra or 16.7 and 12.1 with four-wheel drive. If you are in the market for a big, full sized pickup truck you do need to consider the Tundra Crewmax particularly if you will be hauling around workmates, or camping buddies and family members. In addition all in all the big Tundra Crewmax delivers the goods and is a very impressive full size pickup for work and leisure should you is on the lookout for one. Highly recommended.By Autoreviewman
