Big Brother Naija: Miyonse, Soma evicted during emotional show
By Murtala Abubakar
Miyonse and Soma were the casualties of the first real eviction show in the ongoing Big Brother Naija competition.
The evicted housemates were those with the least number of votes from the public.
Soma and Miyose had been nominated for eviction alongside Efe.
In a shocking twist, the eviction process was altered as Big Brother first sent Efe to the holding area, before being joined by the other nominated pair.
The housemates were extremely emotional and tearful as each of the three nominated contestants were told to leave the house.
At the holding area, it was announced that Miyonse and Soma were actually the evicted housemates.
Miyonse was nominated two weeks in a row before eventually getting evicted from the house.
During Saturday night's party, Efe had delivered a farewell speech of sorts.
He said the housemates, regardless of who got evicted, should see themselves as celebrities for making it to the Big Brother Naija house.
Efe said his time in the house had been so memorable that he often lost sight of the N25 million ultimate prize.
When Soma was asked why he got the least votes from the public, he said, "I don't know… I really don't know", while trying to hold back a flood of tears.
At the false eviction show which took place last week, two new housemates, Debie-Rise and Bassey, were introduced to the house.
Big Brother decided against evicting Marvis and TBoss, the nominated housemates, choosing to add more flavour to the competition.
At the end of the reality show, the last housemate standing will win N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car.
The presenter of the show is Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, a former Big Brother Nigeria housemate.
The Big Brother Naija house is located in South Africa.
Seyi Shay was the headline performer at the eviction show.
Efe was eventually reunited with the other housemates after being made to sweat in the holding area.

1) I'm not really a beginner but I wouldn't say I'm a "good" drummer too, but I feel that sometimes Aerodrums is very very precise with my hits and sometimes it triggers a bit randomly. The last time I experienced this I was playing during the day (while I usually playing at evening/night) and even if I closed the courtain, the overall brightness of the room and of the white wall behind me was certainly higher than usual. There was no direct lightning on the wall, but I was wondering how much a white wall with some lightning in the room could influence the precision of Aerodrums.
2) My drum hit sensitivity right now is "proficient" and I think is good enough, what will I miss if I go back to "beginner" ? And what exactly changes if I go to "expert" ?
3) Is there any technical way (so different from getting good at drumming ) to improve precision in Aerodrums?
1) The markers on your feet and sticks need to appear brighter than everything else that the camera can see. There shouldn't be a problem if your curtains are closed but it is certainly possible that sunlight hitting a white wall could create regions that are brighter than the markers.
One way to test this is to hide your sticks and foot markers from the camera. If the Aerodrums drumming screen still detects markers (displayed as coloured circles on the screen) or is triggering sounds then there is a problem with lighting.
A better way to test lighting is to run Aerodrums, click the Setup button and then click Next until you're on the screen that displays the colour camera feed. If there is a potential problem with lighting, Aerodrums will display a 'Check lighting' button. Click this and remove your sticks and foot pieces from view of the camera. Aerodrums will now display red blobs to indicate regions of the camera image that are too bright and likely to cause a problem. If you can't tell what the source of these bright regions is, it can help to move one of the Aerodrums drum sticks around in front of the camera until it coincides with the red blob. In this way you should be able to tell what's causing the problem, be it sunlight, the reflection of a bright light in a mirror or some other bright object. You will see in Aerodrums that there is a 'Compensate for bright objects' button. This can be used to tell Aerodrums to ignore the problematic bright regions. Note however that this only makes sense if the red blobs appear close to the periphery of the camera, outside the drumming area where tracking of your sticks matters most.
Let me know if that's not clear and I will explain in more detail.
2) As you move a drumstick around, Aerodrums estimates the speed that the marker at the tip is moving. If you set the hit detection sensitivity on the Latency screen to Beginner it will use a higher speed threshold for deciding whether or not a hit occurred compared to if you set it to Expert. So if you set it to Beginner and make small stick movements, no hits will be triggered. If on the other hand you have had a lot of practice and have good stick control then you may want to set it to Expert so that you can trigger very quiet ghost notes by making subtle stick movements for example. The Proficient setting is a middle ground.
a) Take the time to reposition all the drums exactly where you expect them to be rather than using a preset drum kit.
b) Try switching from the Proficient setting to the Beginner setting. This will filter out very quiet ghost notes which will give a cleaner result in most cases.
c) If you notice you're triggering unintended hits when swinging your sticks back very far you can eliminate this by reducing the arc of your swings.
We're working on ideas that will prevent most of these issues in the future.
regarding the first point: there were no specific bright region, but the overall brightness of the room and the wall was higher than usual, so I was wondering if this could be an issue.
I'll also do some more testing with the drum hit sensitivity.
That would only be an issue if your wall/background registered as a bright region (red blob) on the 'Check lighting' screen.
It could be that there was no issue when you set it up and started playing but the daylight intensified causing a bright region to appear.
If it happens again I recommend going back to the Check lighting screen to see if a red blob has appeared.
You can also try hiding your sticks and foot pieces completely when in Drumming mode and see if any coloured circles representing markers appear on the screen. If they do, it would mean that Aerodrums thinks it can still see one or more of the markers.
When you were experiencing the problem can you remember if Aerodrums displayed a warning in the middle of the Drumming screen saying that the markers were hard to track? You should always see four markers corresponding to your sticks and feet on the screen. If they occasionally disappear or flicker then there is a problem.
Well, I could have missed the "markers were hard to track" notice because I was too busy drumming.. I'll check it better next time.


Labour productivity in Canada is lagging – we generate less value per hour worked relative to our international peers.  Despite the fact that labour effort (work hours per capita) has grown over the past two decades, the economic value per hour worked (GDP per capita) has fallen behind. In short, Canadians are working harder, but not smarter.
Reducing this productivity gap requires either increasing the value of outputs or the efficiency of inputs. Here, complementary compensation and organizational policies can be used in the workplace to enhance labour productivity. While compensation practices have proven useful tools to incentivize workers, they may not provide an enduring competitive advantage. By contrast, organizational policies can provide a cost-effective and distinct means for employers to close the productivity gap.
Enter the concept of employee commitment – an attitude that reflects the strength of the bond between an employee and an organization. Commitment based on identification with or feelings of obligation toward a person's workplace are associated with increased job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behaviours (going out of your way to help a co-worker out), and lower employee turnover. Importantly, these factors can maximize the value of outputs, efficiency of labour inputs, and, overall, improve productivity.
As the summer months creep up and the school year winds down, here are some smart organizational policies that promote employee commitment and, by extension, enhance labour productivity. Reviewing the lessons learned – the ABCs of worker commitment – may be part of managers' homework in solving the productivity puzzle.
Managers should assess their workplace culture in terms of its ability to foster employees' sense of entrepreneurialism. An entrepreneurial culture makes workers feel like they are running their own mini-business by providing workers with reasonable flexibility in organizing their work and allowing them to contribute to decision-making. Workers that are more educated, diverse, and experienced may not only be able to offer unique insights, but they may feel a greater sense of and need to exercise independence.
Allowing individuals or teams (rather than management) to determine scheduling and overtime work, along with enhancing vertical collaboration within an organization, provides workers with a sense of independence, emotional meaning, and demonstrates confidence in employees' judgement. This first requires building trust between workers and breaking down organizational hierarchies which, in turn, involves strong leadership and internal communication. That said, advancing an entrepreneurial culture can boost worker commitment and consequently enhance productivity.
Traditional work arrangements set a false dichotomy between employees' personal and professional lives when, in reality, workers perform various tasks and occupy different roles throughout the day. While these tasks and roles may follow a routine, it can be conceptually and practically difficult for today's workers to separate their personal and professional goals and obligations, which may very well be intertwined.
Many organizations have adopted policies that help employees achieve work-life balance. These include providing flexible work schedules, alternative work arrangements, child care at work, and time off for family reasons. Although these measures can be difficult to coordinate and may require a change in workplace culture, adopting such initiatives better reflects the blurred lines between employees' personal and professional lives, improves employees' quality of life at home and at work, and signals employers' concern for worker well-being. Again, these initiatives raise employees' commitment to their place of work which, in turn, enhances productivity.
Cultivating career management harnesses peoples' natural tendencies to be inquisitive and take on new tasks. In a competitive labour market, employers need to provide the necessary tools, support, and cultural environment for workers to plan and grow their careers. These efforts are better aligned with the expectations of an educated, diverse, and experienced labour force.
Horizontal and vertical career mobility within an organization can yield greater employee commitment by signaling that employers are willing to establish long-term relationships with and invest in their employees. Examples of career management initiatives include career planning and monitoring, job adaptation and training, advertising internal opportunities, and adopting accepted and transparent criteria for assessing candidates. Although it may require persistent management and a change in workplace practices, cultivating career management has been shown to improve employee commitment and, by extension, productivity levels.
Canadians should smarten up – solving the productivity puzzle involves assessing how and why employees are working. In the context of a changing labour force and fluid employment environment, managers should think about increasing worker commitment to reduce Canada's labour productivity gap.
 There are many ways of measuring labour productivity but, in general, it is an estimate of the value of an output relative to its inputs.

The culmination in the three part series on correct weight shift in the golf swing gets us off the right side and loaded onto the left glute. This video shows how to correctly and safely shift your weight to the left in the golf swing.
The activation of the right muscles is critical for stability and the application of power from the rest of the kinematic chain.
Al Consoli of Rotary Swing Golf demonstrates the proper movements while Chuck Quinton discusses the movements, drills and exercises to train your brain how to move correctly.
This movement, while seemingly simple has numerous potential pitfalls that not only limit your chances of solid contact but actually put you at risk for injury.
Injury to the lead hip in the golf swing if very common amongst all levels of golfers and doing this simple move correctly can greatly reduce your potential for injury. If you have low back or left hip pain, it is imperative that you pay close attention to the movements in this video.
If you have done the movements incorrectly for many years, it is likely that you will need to spend a fair amount of time on the exercsises on this website and work with a personal trainer or rehabilitation specialist such as our partner Motion Memory Golf of St. Louis, MO to rebuild strength in the hip area.
While I spend a great deal of time talking about how the glute muscles stabilize the hips in this video, in actuality it is the internal hip muscles of the piriformis, gemellus superior, etc. that actually stabilize the hip. We use the term "glute" to represent this general area for the reason that most people have no idea what the other smaller muscles are but are familiar with the glute and the fact that you can actually feel the glute when contracting it.
In other words, don't get overly caught up in the specifics of the terminology. Rotary Swing Golf is here to make you a better golfer not a muscular anatomy expert!
To give another point of view of the muscles we want you to view, obvserve the image below. The areas highlighted in yellow are the muscles you are going to use and feel while performing this move correctly and while you do the exercises.
The head drops a little as muscles activate in the weight shift
Weight moves back onto the left heel, placing the hip in neutral & activating the glute
Weight on the ball of the foot is unstable and puts strain on the knee
Drill 1 - Stand with feet together, then hop onto left foot & drive the weight into the left heel, activating the glute
Drill 2 - Practice lunges, keeping the knee stacked over the ankle as you go down
Video Transcription: Proper Left Weight Shift
Top of the swing
Chuck: Hi, Chuck Quinton here with Al Consoli, our new RotarySwing Golf Instructor.
We're talking about the continuation of the Weight Shift series. This is Part 3. First we talked about a basic piece, the setting up. In the last video, we talked about loading into that right hip, activating that right glute. We talked about the right hip line. Now that we're loaded up correctly, we're going to get Al to demonstrate what it looks like to actually shift back into the left side.
Now we've got, truly, one of the most crucial parts of the golf swing, and one of the most important parts to master. You can forget about the golf club and the rest of the movement. If your weight shift is not right, you're going to struggle with a lot of things in your swing.
Al, go ahead and go back to the top of your swing. We'll show that right hip line. His hip hasn't really moved here. He's loaded up into that right side. He's made a good turn. I'm going to grab a club here and I'm just going to put it on the top of Al's head. Now as Al loads into that left side, watch what happens. Notice his head drops a little bit.
The head drops a little
Al, go back to address. Good posture at address, go ahead and go back to the backswing. Now go ahead and load into that left side. Notice how his head drops a little bit. That's a natural reaction to creating some downforce, actually activating these muscles. That's really what we're trying to do.
Al, if you could turn sideways - or actually flip around for me the other way. Go to the top of your swing. Now watch what happens. Go ahead and sit into that left side. Notice how the left knee bend actually increases a little bit. Al, where do you feel that there?
Al: Very much in my left glute.
Chuck: What he's doing is, that left glute is the biggest muscle in your body, basically, the bulkiest muscle. As you're loading into that, he's actually doing what we need to do to stabilize the movement that's going to come from the upper torso in the downswing.
Weight moves to the left heel
As he starts to unwind - go ahead and start to unwind - now his weight moves back onto this left heel, and this is fundamentally important because if it didn't move onto his left heel, if it moved out to the ball of his foot - go ahead and move to the ball of your foot there - now not only is he off balance, I can knock him over very easily.
He's also changed his primary balancing joint from his hip, which is designed to rotate - you can stand here all day long and rotate on your hip - he's changed the balancing joint from his hip to his knee. Now you're actually taking a joint that's designed to hinge, just like your elbow, and trying to make it twist and rotate.
Obviously, that's not good for your knee, so it's very important that Al sits back into this left heel and actually feels like he's driving it into the ground. Go ahead and go face-on for me and let's just see that whole sequence in motion here.
The move looks exaggerated in slow motion
He's going to load back to the right, good. Notice he starts to squat down to the left. Now, he's doing it in slow motion so it's going to look a little exaggerated. When you do it at full speed, you're obviously not going to really set into that left heel like that, but it's going to feel like that at first. That's what you're trying to do.
Let's do it with a little bit of pace now. There you go. Now you can see his hip's in neutral joint alignment. He's anchored into that left heel. His weight's probably 60-70 percent on his left foot at this point in the swing, and he actually has a lot of stability because he's able to use the big muscles in his swing, and that's so important for us to be anchored. That's what the key is here, in loading into that left heel.
Now go back to the top. Now don't shift your weight, and just start to unwind. We'll show you what it looks like when you do it incorrectly.
This is very common. Now his weight's actually shifted back to his right foot. Now he didn't get that weight transfer, the momentum and the energy transfer we need from the lower part of the body. Now he's actually just going to end up throwing the club at the ball, and lose a lot of power.
We see this a lot of times, where golfers get to the top of the swing and they just throw everything from the top with their arms, and this is where they finish, and of course they wonder why they're off balance.
The second thing - Al, if you could turn to the side for me again; go ahead and go to the top and then go down to the downswing on the ball of your foot and show how golfers tend to fall off balance going forward. Go ahead and go to the ball of your left foot, and just come on through.
Having your weight over the balls of the feet is unstable
Then we see a lot of golfers who are off balance, so they follow through like this, and they wonder why they're off balance all the time. It's simply because your quad - that's the muscle that he starts to activate when he goes to the ball of his foot, instead of his glute and his hip - that quad is not designed to stabilize the hip. It's designed to extend the lower part of the leg. This is what it's built for.
When he moves onto the ball of his foot, now he doesn't have anything to stabilize this, so now we don't have anything to stabilize the torso with. It's very, very important that his first move down is into that heel, and then he begins to rotate from here.
Now, one more time, let's go turn around for me one more time. Go to the top of the swing - sorry, face the camera for me - go to the top of the swing and now slide your hips outside of neutral on the downswing.
Hip outside of neutral
Now if we look - I'm going to grab another club here - now if we look at what we call neutral joint alignment, which is just basically the ankle, the knee and the hip all being lined up in a perfect line, this is how your body's designed to be at neutral.
Now if I put a shaft up on the middle of his ankle, his hip's actually moved outside of this neutral joint. Where do you feel that?
Al: Right on the hip point, right in here.
Chuck: OK, so on the outside of the hip. That's not a good place for it. This is actually going to end up injuring your hip. You end up having a lot of lateral movement, and move outside of neutral joint alignment in the downswing.
Not only is he hurting his hip, but he's going to start to hurt his back as he goes into his follow-through and he has the old classic Reverse C.
Neutral joint alignment
What we're looking for - go back to the top and start to come down and get in neutral joint alignment this time - now as he comes down we have him in basically neutral joint alignment, so he takes the stress off the outside of his hip and moves it to the glute, the muscle that's deigned to do this. It's designed to stabilize the hip.
On the downswing, that's exactly what Al's going to feel. I'm going to give you guys a couple of drills and have Al demonstrate them for you here. A good drill to feel this - and this is an exaggeration, but it's just a little exercise for a lot of you who haven't activated your glutes before, you may not be able to feel them at all.
Al, what I want you to do is stand with your feet together. Come over here just a little bit. Feet together, then what I'm going to have you do is just jump onto the left side and take all your weight and drive it into the left heel. Left heel. Do that for me again.
Feet are together, and he jumps. Now, as you notice, he's having to shake a little bit to stabilize. This is a great exercise to start to feel that glute really load. If you don't actually increase the amount of force and work that the left glute's doing, what you'll end up doing on the downswing is just kind of spinning out.
Hop onto the left heel
What he's actually doing is loading, activating that glute, and then rotating so it's a much more powerful move. This exercise gets you the feeling of what it takes in order to be able to stabilize your golf swing effectively.
Keep in mind, when this starts to happen, everything's moving at full speed. Now, as we start to come down and everything's going, this glute better be really, really strong or you're not going to have any control over what's going on in the downswing.
Al, do that for me one more time. You'll notice that he's not jumping to the ball of his foot first. He's landing on his heel. That's important because we want to activate that glute. We don't need to do this jumping from very high. It's just a little hop so you can feel that glute activate.
Al, step into a lunge position for me, if you will. Actually, turn sideways for me. Go ahead and set up. Drop your foot back.
Now what we want to see is, as he's going to do this lunge, that his knee is in neutral joint alignment, or basically the back of his knee is going over the center of his ankle.
The knee stays in neutral
Now go ahead and drop down. Notice as he goes down, his knee doesn't move forward over the ball of his foot. It stays here. Now go ahead and push up. That isolates the movement to the glute. Now go ahead and go down again.
Now he can really feel that glute muscle start to activate. It's a great exercise for you to start to strengthen that glute so that you have stability on the way down. Now go ahead and do it incorrectly. Let your knee move forward. Now you feel it here, right?
Al: I feel it in my quads.
Chuck: OK. Now we've taken that glute and we've gone back to the weight on the ball of the foot, the primary balancing joint is the ball of the foot, and we're doing it incorrectly again, where we don't have that stability we're looking for.
Do these two exercises, and then the last thing that you're going to do is just sequence it the way Al was. Go ahead and face the camera for me one more time. Go to the top.
This is the sequencing we're looking for. The last video, we talked about loading into that right hip, having that right hip line. Now he's going to start to set into that left side, where he drives this left heel into the ground. What he's feeling is trying to transfer the vast majority of his weight onto that left heel.
Now he's going to start to pull from this left oblique to start to unwind the downswing, then get off his right heel.
You might notice a little bit of weight on the right big toe. That's perfectly OK. We're not transferring 100 percent of our weight to the left; there will still be a little bit back there. Then he's going to go ahead and go on through to a follow through.
That's the sequence that you're going to start to practice in front of the mirror, until you master this movement. It's going to go right heel, left heel, and then unwind. You do these things, your downswing is going to improve.

Under-Bridge Takeoff Prompts Probe
Transport Canada is looking into an incident on the Ottawa River that caused a big splash in the local media but probably didn't violate any regs.
Members of the Ottawa Rowing Club were getting ready for an event on the morning of Aug. 9 when they heard the sound of an aircraft revving to takeoff power. The floatplane accelerated normally and lifted off the water a few hundred metres from the MacDonald-Cartier Bridge connecting Ottawa and Gatineau.
The pilot continued the takeoff and climbed out normally after flying under the centre span of the bridge. Witnesses called the takeoff "reckless" and "crazy" and told various media outlets they were afraid the plane was going to hit the bridge, opinions the video does not seem to support.
The aircraft was between two bridges and likely could not have climbed over the bridge with the takeoff room available. The other option would have been a long taxi to the other side of the bridge.
The CARS don't specifically outlaw this kind of activity since the 500-foot rule for avoiding obstacles doesn't apply to takeoffs and landings.
Nevertheless, Transport Canada said in a statement it will investigate and if it determines the pilot's actions were a violation of the regs then "appropriate action will be taken."
Lancaster Makes England

The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's Avro Lancaster finished its journey from Hamilton to Coningsby, England on August 8 and a moment more than 40 years in the making is scheduled for Aug. 14.
The Canadian Lanc will fly in formation with the RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster at the Eastbourne International Air Show in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
The air show appearance follows a day of training at Coningsby and kicks off a busy schedule of air show appearances and flypasts to commemorate the huge impact the four-engine bomber had on the defense of the U.K. in the Second World War.
Perhaps the most-awaited event will occur at the Clacton Air show on Aug. 21. The two Lancs will fly in formation with the world's only flying Vulcan bomber. The Vulcan was a Cold War nuclear jet bomber perhaps most famous for its runway-destroying raid of the Stanley Airfield during the Falkland Islands war in the 1980s.
The Vulcan is operated by a volunteer society that raised millions in donations to restore it to flying condition.
On its way to England, the CWH aircraft stopped at Keflavik, Iceland and Canadian Aviator correspondent Lisa Sharp took a gallery of photos of its arrival.
Fresh Incidents Sharpen Drone Concerns
Drone encounters are a time consuming problem for Transport Canada.
A Jazz crew on a flight from Fredericton to St. John's spotted what may have been a drone 1,000 feet above their aircraft, prompting Transport Canada's latest investigation into what has become a time consuming issue for the agency.
The incident occurred Aug. 3 and it's not clear from media reports what altitude or phase of flight the Jazz aircraft was in but the pilots reported seeing a red and white vertical tube with a rotor attached above them and called it in.
There has been a spate of airline/drone encounters in Canada and involving Canadian aircraft in the U.S. in recent months and so far the pilots have been elusive.
Perhaps one of the most disruptive incidents was at Pearson Airport in June, according to a Toronto Star investigation.
In that case, controllers had to change runways because a drone was spotted on the approach to one of its main runways, 24R. "Multiple aircraft on short final to Toronto runway 24R reported seeing a drone operating…left of centreline. Changed operation to land runway 23 only," said a Transport Canada report.
A similar incident in Vancouver disrupted operations there, too.
Close Call A Window To PTSD
More than 300 people had a near-death experience aboard a 2001 Air Transat flight.
A Hamilton psychologist is using the near-death experience that she and more than 300 other people shared on a flight to Europe 13 years ago as a window into the effects of post traumatic stress disorder.
Margaret McKinnon was among 293 passengers and 11 crew that escaped what most of them believed was certain death when all the fuel leaked out of the Air Transat A330 over the Atlantic. Pilots Robert Piche and Dirk de Jager dead sticked the aircraft into an emergency airfield in the Azores and there were no serious injuries.
But the 25 minutes the occupants of the aircraft had to contemplate their fate had a profound effect on the future course of their lives and some of them ended up being diagnosed with PTSD.
McKinnon involved herself and 14 other passengers, half of whom were diagnosed with PTSD, in the study to probe the long-term impact of believing with certainty that death was imminent and being spared at the last minute.
The study determined that it's not the memory of the incidents that causes PTSD but the way in which the memories are processed by the brain.
McKinnon was diagnosed with PTSD shortly after the incident but said she was fortunate to receive treatment.
"It's important to intervene as soon as possible with as much care as we can offer," she said.


A child born of a woman during wedlock or within three hundred and ten days after the termination of the marriage is presumed to be the legitimate child of the husband or the man which used to be the husband, as the case may be.
In case where the woman had made the new marriage and gave birth to a child within three hundred and ten days as from the day of termination of the marriage, the child shall be presumed to be the legitimate child of the new husband, and no presumption under Section 1536 saying that the child is the legitimate child of the former husband shall apply; provided that there is a judgment pronouncing that the child is not the legitimate child of the new husband.
In case where the man or woman had made the marriage against Section 1452, a child born during such marriage shall be presumed to be the legitimate child of the husband who has last marriage entered into the Marriage Register.
In case where the woman had made the marriage against Section 1452, the presumption in Section 1536 shall apply; provided that there is a final judgment pronouncing that the child is not legitimate child of the husband who has the last marriage entered into the Marriage Register.
The provisions of paragraph one shall apply to the child born within three hundred and ten days from the date of the final judgment pronouncing the void of the marriage made against Section 1452.
In case where the child is presumed to be the legitimate child of the husband or the man who used to be the husband under Section 1536, Section 1537 or Section 1537 or Section 1537 or Section 1538, the husband or the man who used to be the husband may repudiate the child by entering an action in Court against the child and the mother jointly, and providing that he did not cohabit with the mother of the child during the period of conception, that is to say, the period extending from the one hundred and eightieth day to the three hundred and ten day inclusive, prior to the birth of the child, or that he could not have been the father of the child on other grounds of impossibility.

The action for repudiation of the child under (1) must be entered within six months since the death of the man being or having ever been the husband becoming known to that person. In any case no such action can be entered later than ten years after the birth of the child.
A child may request the Public Prosecutor to enter an action under Section 1536 for repudiation to be legitimate child of the husband of his or her mother if it becomes known to the child that he or she is not an inherited child of the husband of the mother.
In entering the action under paragraph one, if it becomes known to the child before he or she becoming sui juris that he or she is not the legitimate child of the husband of his or her mother, no action can be entered by the Public Prosecutor after one year as from the date of his or her becoming sui juris.

A child born of a woman who is not married to a man is deemed to be the legitimate child of such woman.
A child born of the parents who are not married to each other is legitimate by the subsequent marriage of the parents, or by the registration made on application by the father, or by a judgment of the Court.
When legitimation is applied for by the father, the child and the mother must give consent to the applicant.
In case where the child and the mother do not appear before the Registrar for giving the consent, the Registrar shall notify the child and the mother of the father's application for registration. If the child or the mother raises no objection or does not give the consent within sixty days after the acceptance of the notification by the child or mother, it is presumed that the child or the mother does not give consent. The period of time shall be extended to one hundred and eighty days in case where the child or the mother has been outside Thailand.
In case where the child or the mother raises an objection that the applicant is not the father, or does not give the consent, or is unable to give the consent, the registration for legitimation must be effected by a judgment of the Court.
After the Court had pronounced a judgment effecting the registration of the legitimation and the judgment has been produced to the registrar for registration, the Registrar shall effect the registration.
When the registrar has notified the child and the mother of the application of legitimation under Section 1548, notwithstanding whether the child and the mother will object to the application under Section 1548 or not, the child or the mother may, within a period of not more than ninety days since the notification reached the child or mother, notify the Registrar to make a record that the applicant is not a suitable person for exercising partly or wholly the parental power.
Although the registration of legitimation under Section 1548 had been made, if there has been a notification of the child and the mother under paragraph one, the child's father will not be able to exercise partly or wholly such parental power as had been notified by the child or the mother until the court will pronounce a judgment effecting the child's father to exercise partly or wholly the parental power, or a period of ninety days had elapsed since the registrar was notified by the Child or the mother of the unsuitability on the party of the applicant for registration of legitimation to be the person unsuitable for exercising a part of the whole of the parental power.

The child or mother may apply to the court in the same case for an order to the effect that the applicant for registration of legitimation is not a suitable person for exercising a part or the whole of the parental power even though he is the real father of the child. In such case, the provisions of paragraph three of Section 1599 shall be applied mutatis mutandis.
In case the child has no mother or has mother but the latter has been deprived partly or wholly of her parental power and the other person has been appointed by the Court to be guardian partly or wholly before the registration of legitimation.
The father who causes the registration of legitimation having been entered may, if he thinks that for the benefit of the child, he should be the person exercising the parental power partly or wholly, apply to the court for an order effecting the deprivation of a part of the whole of guardianship from the guardian opinion of the court, exercise the parental power for bring about more happiness and interest to the child. The court may give an order effecting the deprivation of a part or the whole of guardianship from the guardian and making the father to be the person exercising the parental power.
Any interested person may, within three months from the time when the registration of legitimation comes to his knowledge, apply to the court for cancellation of the registration on the ground that the person at whose instance the legitimation has been registered is not the father of the child. In any case, no such action may be entered after the lapse of ten years since the date of registration.
Where there has been a continuous common repute of being a legitimate child. There status resulting from continuous common repute of being a legitimate child is established by means of facts showing the relationship of father and child, as evidenced by the child's connection with the family to which he claims to belong, such as the fact that the father has provided the child's education or maintenance, or that he has allowed the child to use his family name or other facts.
In any case, if the man is found unable to be a father, the case shall be dismissed.
The action for legitimation may be brought by the legal representative of the child if the child is a minor of not yet completed his fifteenth years of age.

After attaining the age of sui juris, the action has to be entered within one year from the day of becoming sui juris.
In case the child is dead during the time has right to bring an action for legitimation, his descendant may enter an action for legitimation. Should the descendant know the ground of the action for legitimation before the death of the child, the action would have to be entered by the former within one year from the death of the child should the ground of the action for legitimation become known to the descendant after the death of the child. However, the action would have to be entered within one year as from the day; the said ground came to his knowledge; provided that is cannot be entered after ten years have elapsed since the death of the child.
The provision of paragraph one and paragraph two shall apply to the action of legitimation entered by the minor descendant mutatis mutandis.
From the day of final judgment in case of legitimation pronounced by the court, provided that it may be set up to the prejudice of the rights of third persons acting in good faith, unless it has been registered according to the judgment.
As regards the action for legitimation of the deceased having been entered within the period of prescription for claim for inheritance, if the court adjudges the child to be legitimate he is entitled to inheritance as a statutory heir.

The SWIFTDECK process consists of a SWIFTDECK Clip that fixes to the side of deck joists, Polyurethane Adhesive, and pre-grooved SWIFTDECK decking boards. Before commencing installation, it is important to note that joists must sit on top of bearers, or have at least 35mm on one face free to allow fitting of SWIFTDECK Clips.
Secure the first edge board of the deck using conventional fixings, or 'secret nailing/screwing' in the rebate in side of board, ensuring straightness – as all other boards will follow this set out.
(clip groove only on 1 side) are available.
Locate SWIFTDECK cliprail into the groove of the first fixed board and fix cliprail to the joist. (using clouts, nail gun or screws).
Make sure all the lugs on the cliprail are touching the top of the joist. If joist is a little twisted, fit to high side.
Having first ensured the joists are clean, place a wide bead of flexible polyurethane adhesive on top of the joist between the clips for up to 5 boards at a time. (Round bead 8-10mm) See tips and notes on suitable adhesives.
Important: Position SWIFTDECK board on an angle with edge resting inside clip and then snap SWIFTDECK boards into the cliprail. This can be done by: hand, rubber mallet, or stepping in with foot, trying to avoid breaking the head of the clip.
Longer boards need 2 people to ensure inside edge is located easily.
Where a join is required, dock/cut boards square.
Cut a section of joist, and fix to provide double joist full width support to the decking boards.
Cut a section of cliprail and fix this to the other side of the joist – boards will meet over the centre of the joist and each will be fixed by cliprail.
If a lug is broken whilst installing the board, cut a small piece of SWIFTDECK cliprail with a lug on it and fix into the opposite side of the joist.
This will provide position and support for existing and subsequent boards.
After installing 5 boards to fill clip, knock boards on edge with rubber mallet or handle of your hammer – back towards the deck you have already laid.
This will assist settling any boards that are not sitting exactly within the clips. Walk along installed boards to ensure they are well bedded in.
Make sure the entire perimeter of the deck is secured.
This can be done securing by screw into the groove on the edge, or achieved by fixing the SWIFTDECK Edge board conventionally (clip groove on only one side of board).
Do not use silicone or hard setting construction adhesives. They are too brittle to accommodate long term timber movement and may not stick to all SWIFTDECK components.
Attach only enough cliprail to joists to accommodate 5-10 pieces of decking each time (i.e. 1-2 clips) and ensuring boards are fully pushed down. Doing this automatically makes any slight adjustments needed easier and reduces the risk of the adhesive prematurely curing.
On wide decks it is recommended to check measure/plumb to ensure correct line is maintained.
Lugs on Swift Deck clips are designed to flex enough to allow board placement, and will do so easily when leading edge is located into clip on an angle as shown. Occasionally clips are broken when boards are not angled correctly prior to snapping in. Fixing a small piece of cliprail to the opposite side of the joist and the polyurethane adhesive will assure no issues arise from the odd broken lugs. See figure 4B.
If cutting boards, it is preferable to span at least 3 joists. Additional secret fixings may be required on small sections, particularly when cutting in around pipework, steps, etc.
Ensure joists are clean. Adhesive will not perform on dirty joists, it needs a clean surface free of dirt/oils/etc. Primer may be needed for some porous timbers. See relevant adhesive manufacturer's directions for more information regarding preparation.

Cattewater Harbour Commissioners Contract Win For Meercat
UK boatbuilder, Meercat Workboats of Portchester, has beaten competition from across Europe to secure an important contract to build its 24th newbuild vessel.
The 14m multi-purpose workboat will be built for Cattewater Harbour Commissioners (CHC), one of the harbour authorities at Plymouth in Devon and the largest port in the South West of the UK.
James Lewis, operations director, Meercat Workboats, said:
With the tender open across Europe it was gratifying to see the Cattewater Harbour Commissioners select a company just down the South Coast. It is further recognition of the excellence of design, engineering, manufacturing and boatbuilding we still have in this country.
The new workboat will be powered by twin Doosan L136Ti engines delivering a total of 460hp with a top free-running speed of 8 knots. It will also have a bow thruster and two foot-controlled one tonne CH-10 'North Sea' capstans.
Its Heila HLM 10-3S deck crane will be capable of lifting 800kg at 10.4m metres, whilst the four-tonne 'North Sea' Tugger winch has remote control capabilities.
Other features include a deck strength of nine tonnes/sq m, deck cargo capacity of 12 tonnes and a Sleipner hand hydraulic twin rudder.
The workboat will be the fourth to be delivered by Meercat after it was bought by Britain's largest independent ship repairer Burgess Marine in September 2014. It will be the 24th vessel built by Meercat since it was formed in 2006.
Meercat is on target to complete the 14m by 5m vessel for the harbour authority's fleet in mid-November.
The new contract means continued job security for Meercat's skilled and experienced workforce.
Meercat aims to expand its versatile range to include barges, canal tugs, larger workboats and wind farm support vessels. All vessels are designed and built at Portchester, in the Solent region.
Multi-purpose Meercats are easily transportable around the country by road, including for use on the coast, ports, harbours, lakes and watercourses inland.

Tillmann Franzen's photography impresses through his manifold choice of topics. Instead of focussing on one particular theme, according to the photographer himself, it is "blanks showing a non-verbalised space, oscillating between the projection of the viewer and the portrayed" that appeal to him. The focus hereby lies on what exists behind what you actually see. These can be full stories or simply atmospheres or associations.
Franzen takes the inspiration for his images from his extensive travels, but also from his immediate surroundings, everyday life and studying photography and the arts. His approach is as varied and multiple as his choice of topics. While Franzen likes to plan ahead when it comes to commissions, he prefers to go with the flow in his personal work, with the important element here being the thought and the message.
Tillmann Franzen left his home Swabia to attend the Folkwang Hochschule (Folkwang University) in Essen, eventually ending up in Düsseldorf where he now resides and works.

Tillmann Franzen: Cadillac Cars
A Cadillac is a car that has character, its own profile and charm. It is subtle but prominent and always elegant. You might even start philosophizing that it's a car which finds its matching driver rather than the driver being the one who finds the right car. The situation is similar with Tillmann Franzen's pictures: These are pictures the presence of which you can actually feel. They are exactly the type of pictures that speak a certain language. Thus, the cooperation between Tillmann Franzen and General Motors for their Cadillac's V-Series constitutes a perfect match. In this picture series, he creates a very effective but sober romanticism that gives his pictures these special Franzen-esthetics. Presenting the Cadillac in various everyday situations means presenting its hidden aspects. The not-so-obvious, unobtrusive splendor that yearns for being discovered. This turns Franzen's pictures of the Cadillac CTS-V into a kind of flirt. The way in which he makes an outstanding contribution to the limousine's status is just wonderful.
Tillmann Franzen: Tea Time in India for Tea Enterprise
The commissioned works of Tillmann Franzen are pictures that carry his very own thumbprint. He has a special talent for finding just the right moment even in his art. What looks like mere coincidence at first sight is in reality an expression of precision and the vision of a goal. With his free work "Tea Enterprise, India", Tillmann Franzen takes us to his source of inspiration and on a journey through the lens of his camera. We become witness to a perfectly normal work day in a tea manufactory, but with Franzen's perspective, the scenery seems dreamy. Each picture radiates with an incredible tranquility and we discover what Franzen discovers, we see what seems important to him and we become aware of the small details. The warm colors of his pictures and his reduced use of light sources create a certain magic. Tillmann Franzen's works make you feel connected to the places depicted.
Tillmann Franzen: Honoring Boewer's objects
It is highly important to have a feeling for forms, colors and light when photographing objects. It is the combination of all these elements that makes for a perfectly staged product shoot. All of this can be easily found in Tillman Franzen's works, which is why it was a masterstroke by the Boewer company to hire Franzen for honoring the objects of Eric Degenhardt. Degenhardt's concepts of furniture contradict classic forms we know of tables, chairs and lamps, which makes it a challenge to highlight exactly these peculiarities. This surely must be one of the reasons why the pictures and their configuration and staging are so perfectly adapted for the interior that they make you want to touch and try what you see.
Tillmann Franzen: Peeking into St. Petersburg's Eremitage
There is barely a more qualified photographer for documentaries than Tillmann Franzen. This series, which he created in the Eremitage in St. Petersburg, proves it yet again. Franzen goes on a picturesque voyage that feels just as smooth and quiet as an actual visit to the museum. He subtly takes photographs of the people and the objects that fill the museum with life through the lens of an art lover. Each of the resulting pictures turns the viewer into a fly on the wall of one of the world's biggest museums. You get an exclusive look at the work behind the art. And you realize the effort that the people who restore, exhibit and guard the great masters' works put into it. Franzen makes sure to catch the museum's employees in a certain angle and a great lighting, which works out perfectly and which gives each picture a warm glow. A great picture series that really worships the Eremitage and its employees.
Tillmann Franzen: Gives ELA Container a face
The pictures that Tillmann Franzen took for ELA Container are just as personalized and versatile as the company's product range. In these pictures, the viewer does not only get an insight into the various departments that belong to such a successful company, but also gets to know the people behind the curtain. Franzen gives a face to each department and thereby turns everyday work into something really special. The portraits that he made are just as personal as they are multifarious. However, they have one thing in common: they show happy employees who seem to be just as comfortable in front of a camera as they are at work. You have never seen container building like this before!
Tillmann Franzen: Gets the photo right, in every detail for DNV GL
What do a Norwegian ad agency, DNV GL, and Tillmann Franzen have in common? No idea? Never mind, because at the beginning of this text, you just don't have the overall picture yet, just like the three players mentioned above. All three pursue a goal: to get the picture right in every detail, all in their own way, and the end result has to be perfect. The result of this effort is an image campaign that skillfully and wittily captures DNV GL's core concept: to show people and their special efforts in their work environment. For that, Tillmann Franzen traveled to Denmark, Hamburg, India and Shanghai catching motifs in large formats that with minimalistic elegance manage to visualize the various areas where DNV GL is active. Add the ad people's idea of removing a fragment from each picture and assigning it to individual people visualizes the idea of the entire campaign perfectly — and thus we know the answer to the question posed above. Tillmann Franzen's photographs are a beautiful contribution to this campaign.
Tillmann Franzen: Teatime at Catherine Palace with the BMW 7 series
Being an enthusiastic and passionate BMW driver himself, Tillmann was more than thrilled when Intersection Magazine invited him to shoot a lovely outdoor story of the newly revamped BMW 7 series. The shoot took him to the Catherine Palace, 25km outside of St Petersburg, where he popped in for some afternoon tea – and with a car like that parked outside the opulent rococo style palace, you might begin to feel more at home there than is appropriate… Officially the fastest limousine in the world, the "make over" of the 7 series is mostly internal and packed full of technical gadgetry, which would make even James Bond's buddy Q suffer from a serious case of inventors-envy.
Tillmann Franzen: Böwer exclusive furniture collection
For this absolutely gorgeous still life series Tillmann Franzen collaborated very closely together with furniture designer Eric Degenhardt on developing the creative concept of the shoot and it's minimal yet striking set design, allowing some basic structures and materials to appear as honestly as the products themselves. Degenhardt was commissioned by Böwer, a German interiors and furniture company with carpentry history dating back to 1888. The style has evolved with the times, and in this collection you can clearly see Degenhardt's influence by Dieter Rams, which he moves on to a whole new generation. Tillmann's studio lighting is highly considered as is every single angle and those wonderful highlights of smooth turquoise and fiery bright red. I think I have a severe case of furniture envy!
Tillmann Franzen: Industrial landscapes and trucks for Kranunion
Quite simply put: Truck Porn. That's what this is. Who would have thought you'd find yourself drooling over charcoal ridden, industrial landscape shots of trucks and diggers with great big man-sized wheels – but you do, just like any 5 year old boy would. And Tillmann Franzen, was the lucky lucky boy (SO jealous!!) to go shoot these big boys for the German Kranunion – btw, check out their website, it's pretty cool – there are Tucans, Pelicans and Condors to be seen amongst other fascinating industrial creatures. What an awesome assignment, and what awesomely gritty shots Tillmann has come back with!
Tillmann Franzen: Mercedes A-Class stylish in AD Magazine
Bordeaux, Rhône, Alsace? No, this is not the South of France. We're talking Stuttgart here, a little town on the outskirts called Uhlbach to be more precise. And who better to send there to shoot the brand new Mercedes A-Class amongst the cascading vineyards than Mr Tillmann Franzen? Tillmann, who nails pretty much every brief you give him, really enjoyed this shoot, commissioned by AD Magazine to feature the dynamic new design of the A-Class. He even got to meet Mark Fetherston, the man himself responsible for the exterior design of the car. Who would have thought that the otherwise classically minded brand Mercedes could be this stylish and sexy?! Thanks to Mr Fetherston and Mr Franzen we no longer need convincing…
Tillmann Franzen: Dog studies for LESIA veterinary clinic
It's almost impossible to look at Tillmann Franzen's latest shoot without feeling a smile creep across your face. Based in Düsseldorf, LESIA is a newly opened veterinary clinic entirely devoted to animal welfare. The clinic is named after a dog that the staff brought back from the brink of starvation and neglect. You can tell from Franzen's series that every employee puts their heart and soul into the clinic. It's not a job, it's a passion. Molly, a sickly West Highland terrier sits on her doctor's lap whilst he carefully explains the treatment plan to her owner. In another room, injured Buster is finally getting back on his feet thanks to the encouragement of his physician and the exceptional water therapy facilities at the clinic. Franzen's message is clear: while they're under the clinic's care, the biggest problem these dogs will face is having to leave one day!
Tillmann Franzen: Weleda Promotion Campaign
Weleda have always had a very conscious approach when it comes to the production of their skin care range. Jung Von Matt commissioned photographer Tillmann Franzen to shoot a campaign promoting the fact that Weleda harvest organic plants (over 300 species) on their own biodynamic farms. An ideal brief for Franzen, who has always had an insatiable curiosity for what goes on behind the scenes. Early one morning, Franzen photographed the workers as they handpicked each calendula flower in the orange-blossom fields of their farm in Wetzgau. You can almost hear the 'snap' as the flower is carefully removed from its stem. The mist has not yet settled and the morning dew is still fresh in the air. Franzen's series perfectly captures Weleda's trademark wholesome, natural, soothing tone.
Tillmann Franzen: Tita Giese, "The Jungle Queen"
For the past thirty years German landscape architect Tita Giese has been designing gardens for European cities and artists such as Thomas Ruff and Andreas Gursky. She is known as the artist that works with plants. ZEITmagazin commissioned Tillmann Franzen to photograph the artist in her studio space in Dusseldorf for a feature called 'The Jungle Queen'. Giese's garden is a playground for the senses; bamboo, yuccas, rhubarb, confetti and mussel shells are dotted around the grounds with the same intricate precision and eccentricity as the notes in an Erik Satie composition. Franzen shows us what every artist really aspires to deep down: to create a universe out of nothing but their imagination. Giese has the rare privilege of actually living inside her art. Never has anyone seemed more at home.
Tillmann Franzen: Car free motorways for Hochtief
Usually someone to keep both his feet firmly on the ground, Tillmann FRANZEN had the pleasure of taking off in a helicopter for the HOCHTIEF construction company. He managed to create a remarkable photography series on a day, when the A40 motorway (in the Ruhrgebiet near Cologne, Germany) was closed to traffic and instead crowded with pedestrians and bicyclist. While the traffic is virtually non-existent, the people enjoy the day of unaccustomed freedom. His eagle eye also captured the rather unusual geometric forms of the highway itself, the curve patterns, which meander through the landscape like rivers of concrete. Of course, the inevitable onslaught of cars and trucks will soon return to the street and once again turn it into a loud and ugly traffic melting pot. Yet, Franzen's pictures will always remind us that this place was a place of beauty – even if only for one day.
Tillmann Franzen: Tractor series for Architectural Digest
The last few days have been ripe with change: the cold wind has since blown past, the days are slowly becoming longer again and somehow, the days of summer hover in the air like the promise of an expected arrival. To farmers, this means the advent of harvest time. Tillmann FRANZEN's most recent work for ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST magazine captures the emotion and essence of these golden harvest days, by portraying a collection of classic and old tractors. The photographer made sure to photograph the carefully restored machines within their natural surroundings – out on the fields instead of some random and characterless showrooms. When one takes a look at the pictures, the anthropomorphic pride of the tractors seems almost tangible, as they are resting on the fields after a long day of hard work. The motors are still thumping, while they slowly cool down in the tender embrace of the shade and still relish in what they achieved that day, long after the farmer himself has gone to bed.
Tillmann Franzen: Mini visit for MINI magazine
Tillmann FRANZEN's next port of call is in the MINI Factory where we see a modern Mini being transformed into a racecar. The beauty and confident personality of the Mini is obvious in every one of Franzen's photos. It almost seems to be aware of the trophies that line the walls of the factory, learning about its pedigree and what it has to aim for once it hits the racetrack. Shot for MINI magazine, it's an intimate series that will definitely set the hearts of all car enthusiasts racing.
Tillmann Franzen: VOLVO magazine shoot
Tillman FRANZEN's love of shooting in factories is really starting to pay off. Both of his latest commissions have been set in amongst flying sparks and hissing machinery. The first is a feature for Volvo magazine in the production factory of one of the oldest furniture brands in the world: Thonet. It's a place with a true sense of heritage and Franzen really brings across the positive energy of a factory in which each piece is hand-crafted.
Tillmann Franzen: SIEDLE annual report
Tillmann FRANZEN photographed the current SIEDLE annual report.
Tillmann Franzen: Deutsche Börse and Haniel annual report
It's evident from Tillmann Franzen's portfolio that he's a lover of unusual places. No surprise then that DEUTSCHE BÖRSE MAGAZIN sent him to pay a visit to a knife factory for one of their features. The joy Franzen finds in opening our eyes to hidden places really shines through in this shoot. Places that hold a secret. Places that we wish we could visit but which will remain elusive to those of us who haven't yet seen Franzen's work. Furthermore, he photographed the most recent annual report for Haniel.
Tillmann Franzen for Monocle Magazine
Tillmann FRANZEN shot the THW and EU-USAR earthquake training for MONOCLE magazine. According to Markus Albers from MONOCLE "THW is a German technical aid charity that dispatch specialists to crisis areas around the world. The majority of their helpers are volunteers and work in countries from Africa to Asia."
The team in the photographs has just been working in Japan.

We are delighted to introduce to you our new homework booklet for Years 7 and 8.
Each half term your child will receive a new booklet full of engaging home learning tasks.
The aim of the booklet is to make homework fun and rewarding – visa stickers will be rewarded and these can be redeemed as part of the whole academy reward system by completing the many different tasks.
We also hope that at home you will get involved with the suggested family activities and the creative challenges, so that memorable learning experiences can be shared.
Each subject page includes gold, silver and bronze activities. These are the compulsory homework tasks that need to be completed to avoid any sanctions. Your child MUST complete at least one of the bronze, silver or gold tasks.
The only exceptions to this are English, Maths and MFL, who will continue to set their homework as they usually do.
Your child's subject teacher is responsible for setting the hand in date for the homework, marking and feeding back, and setting detentions if the homework is missed.
Obviously, we are expecting every child to complete the homework on time and to the best of their ability. However, the consequence for not completing these activities is a 45 minute detention per subject. These will be set within the department where the homework is missing. It is expected that the homework will be completed in this detention. If the detention is missed, a 90 minute Year Team detention will be issued.
The "enrichment" homework (largely displayed on the facing page for each subject) is optional. If a student wants to learn more or simply earn more visa points, then they should complete the optional homework. This also includes English, Maths and MFL. This is also where you will find the family activity. There will not be any consequence if this is not completed, but obviously we feel that completing as much as possible helps to build a strong work ethic.
A Google Classroom has been set up and your child has received an email inviting them to join this. In here, there is an electronic copy of the booklet, should the original be lost.
We hope your child will enjoy completing these home learning tasks and we look forward to seeing lots of exciting projects taking place and handing out lots of rewards.

Reddy, Narendran shine at national racing meet
By IANS Updated: Jul 23, 2017 9:41 pm
Sriperumbudur (Tamil Nadu), July 23 (IANS): Anindith Reddy from Hyderabad and Coimbatores Arjun Narendran provided a thrilling finale to the third round of the Indian National Racing Championship here on Sunday.
Yash Aradhya, a 14-year old schoolboy from Bengaluru, also grabbed attention by chalking up his maiden win.
Reddy finished the weekend on a high by chalking up his second win in the MRF FF1600 triple-header with Chennai's Sandeep Kumar denying the Hyderabad racer a hat-trick, while Coimbatore-based Narendran, the defending champion in the premier Indian Touring Cars class, scored his first victory this season, to end the four-in-a-row win-streak of Bengaluru's Deepak Paul Chinnappa.
Earlier, Yash, a ninth standard student of Bishop Cotton's school, drove a well-judged race to claim top honours in both Formula LGB 1300 and the Rookie categories which also produced its share of tight finishes.
Kolhapur's Dhruv Mohite, starting third on the grid, drove a near-flawless race for his first win in the MRF MMSC Volkswagen Ameo Cup race ahead of Karminder Singh of Delhi and South African guest driver Devin Robertson.
Both the MRF FF1600 races today dished out exciting fare. Sandeep Kumar shrugged off a bad start owing to wheelspin and recovered well to take a jump on the front-runners Chetan Korada and winner of lung-opener on Saturday Reddy, in the very first lap before nursing the lead to the finish.
In the next race, the third of the weekend in this class, it was Reddy's turn to fight his way through the pack and survive a spin after coming into contact with race leader Korada who thus dropped out of contention while Sandeep Kumar came in second with Kolkata schoolboy Arya Singh finishing third.
Likewise, both the ITC races, especially the duel between Narendran and Chinnappa were as close as they could get with little separating the two. In the day's first race, Chinnappa, starting third on the reverse grid, had the measure of Narendran for his fourth win in a row. However, in the next race, pole-sitter Narendran enjoyed his best outing of the weekend to pip Chinnappa by a mere half-a-car length in a thrilling finish.

There are hundreds of diets that are made to help people control their weight. However, most of them don't have the same effectiveness as the popular paleo diet.
In the past decade, Paleo has gained widespread attention from across the world. It went from an underground movement to a commonly known diet that dominates best-selling books, grocery stores, and new headlines.
Despite the popularity, the scientific reasoning for paleo stays misrepresented and misunderstood. For instance, you might know that vegetables are great, grains need to be avoided, and that dietary fat isn't bad. But how come these guidelines are in place?
The answer has nothing to do with reenacting what our ancestors ate, but what modern science says is the best for your body. Let us educate you on the beauty of spiralizers and a paleo diet so that you can start meeting your weight loss goals today!
The paleo diet is based on the diet that our hunter-gatherer ancestors had. It includes unprocessed foods that resemble how it looks in nature. Our ancestors have the same genetics as us, modern humans. They survived by eating these foods and were free from diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
In its core, the Paleo diet is ⅔ plant-based and ⅓ meat based. Of course, the meat consumption is highly endorsed because it has nutritional benefits that are not found in plant foods. Getting high-quality food is encouraged, meaning that you should get pasture-raised meat, local organic fruits, and vegetables possible. Here's a list of the most common food that you should eat.
Seafood and Fish: Trout, salmon, shellfish, haddock, shrimp, etc. Try to buy them wild-caught if you can.
Vegetables: Kale, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, onions, etc.
Tubers: Sweet potatoes, yams, turnips, etc.
Healthy Oils and Fats: avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, and others.
Spices and Salt: Himalayan salt, rosemary, turmeric, garlic, etc.
Paleo diet snacks: Fruit salad, fruit, pork rinds, beef jerky, etc.
As you can see, the paleo diet is simple - making it easier for people to prepare and eat throughout the day. For example, a paleo diet breakfast would consist of eggs, carrots, and kale. Since you're removing the unhealthy fats, your body can receive the proteins it needs to gain lean muscle while also losing weight.
The paleo diet might sound extreme at first - you're removing entire food groups for one. However, this is a healthier alternative than the average American diet, which has a high concentration of grains and sugary food that's filled with processed oils and fats.
Also, the paleo diet benefits those who have issues following diets that require calorie counting. When taking the paleo diet, there are certain foods you can eat and certain foods you have to avoid - plain and simple. While this doesn't mean that the diet will be easy to stick to, you'll spend more time preparing your food instead of journaling and counting calories.
One misconception about the Paleo diet is that it's just fat and proteins. What people don't realize is that the diet removes "filler food" such as processed carbs due to the lack of nutrients. Instead, we supplement this filer food with loads of healthy fruits, vegetables, berries, seeds, meats, and nuts which are all full of vitamins and minerals.
Combine that with the increased nutrient absorption and improved gut health which occurs due to avoiding legumes and annoying grains, and you'll have a balanced diet. You'd be surprised, but you can get all of your required nutrients from seafood, plant, and animal-based foods.
Paleo diets have a lot of fiber. When you add this with a balanced H20 intake with a small amount of salt to reduce the bloating that people experience during Western diets. Plus, a paleo diet improves your gut flora which helps your body digest food easier.
The paleo diet requires users not to eat foods that are allergens in certain societies. Some people are unable to eat dairy and digesting seeds (grain). Because of this, the paleo diet requires you to remove these foods from your daily intake for at least a month.
People often criticize the Paleo diet because it doesn't include "whole grains." But, we know that whole grain foods won't get the job done. So, we tend to avoid them most of the time. If you're an athlete, its okay to eat a cup of oats each time.
Most people experience muscle growth and weight loss while having an active lifestyle. Paleo diet weight loss helps the obese lose at least 8 lbs on average. As a result, people who take paleo diets experience better sleep, stress management, better metabolic process, and reduced body fat.
Paleo diet weight loss programs are usually successful. This is because its higher in protein, fat, and fiber. The protein helps your muscles stay intact when your body starts burning it for energy. As a result, it helps users lose weight by speeding up their metabolism.
And let's not forget to mention the increased reduction of high-glycemic carbohydrates. Removing the most sugars and grains helps reduce empty calories that increase your body's insulin levels.
Spiralizers and Paleo Diets go hand and hand. This is because the spiralizer allows you add more variety to your diet by slicing up large chunks into smaller pieces. Regardless of what diet you take, the spiralizer will help you improve the aroma, taste, and quality of your meals.
Also, using a spiralizer helps you mix vegetables in your menu. Most people tend to have preferences when it comes to vegetables. For instance, its easier to find potato lovers in comparison to zucchini and squash lovers.
Also, the food preparation process can be difficult for paleo diets. Using a spiralizer can reduce your time by around 10-20 minutes! Thus, we suggest that you buy one if you're really trying to complete your diet successfully!
As we've stated earlier, having a spiralizer is a great way to complete your paleo diet. In fact, you'll need both if you want to lose weight faster. To conclude, try using them for 30 days, and you will be surprised when you see a difference in your weight, physical and mental health!
