HomeRSSNY federation CEO offers rare criticism of Israel's right-wing...
(New York Jewish Week) — The head of North American's largest Jewish federation made the rare step of criticizing proposed legislation by Israel's government and "imploring" its prime minister to shelve it.
In an email sent Friday to supporters of the UJA-Federation of New York, its CEO, Eric Goldstein, wrote that he is "alarmed" by recent judicial reforms introduced by Israel's newly installed justice minister. The reforms, a priority of what has been described as the most right-wing government in Israeli history, would allow Israel's parliament to override decisions by the Supreme Court and further politicize the selection of its justices.
"The current proposed legislation raises dramatic concerns," wrote Goldstein, an attorney who was named to head UJA-Federation in 2014. "It eviscerates the role of the judiciary by allowing Supreme Court decisions to be struck down by the barest majority of the Knesset — undermining the very foundations of Israel's democracy and subjecting all minority groups to the tyranny of the majority."
"I respectfully implore" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to make good on previous pledges that he would block laws that threatened the independence of Israel's justice system, wrote Goldstein.
Jewish federations — umbrella philanthropies that are set up to serve the range of Jewish denominations and political expressions — seldom publicly criticize the Israeli government, whose social service sector is among their biggest beneficiaries. Goldstein acknowledged as much in his letter, writing that "many insiders advised that off-the-record conversations with senior government officials would be more productive than strident public pronouncements." (UJA-Federation is a funder of 70 Faces Media, the New York Jewish Week's parent company.)
In his message, Goldstein is careful to note his pro-Israel bona fides, noting that two of his four children immigrated to Israel and now live in Tel Aviv, including one serving in the Israeli military. And after acknowledging complaints on Israel's right that the Supreme Court had grown less accountable to the Israeli public, Goldstein wrote, "Judicial reform can be achieved without threatening the fundamental democratic character of Israel."
Israel's new right-wing government has sent waves of anxiety through the leadership of America's largest Jewish organizations, who worry that liberal-leaning rank-and-file Jews will become alienated from an Israeli government that includes far-right ideologues like Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. Last month, Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism — representing American Judaism's largest denomination— wrote that the "extremist political agenda of this new government is profoundly distressing, representing radical policy shifts that are antithetical to the core values of liberal Jews."

— UJA-Federation of New York (@UJAfedNY) January 20, 2023
Goldstein addressed concerns over alienation in his letter. "[T]here's an instinct among some in our community to turn their back on Israel in moments of serious disagreement. But cutting ties or support for Israel is precisely the wrong response," he wrote. "To the contrary, this is the moment to engage even more, using all the means at our disposal to help sustain a Jewish and democratic Israel."
To that end, Goldstein wrote that UJA's Israel office and the Forum of Foundations in Israel are meeting with "dozens" of Israeli philanthropies "to think together about shared strategies for addressing the current moment… and to discuss joint funding initiatives to counter the impact of potential new governmental policies and legislation."
Representing often fractious communities, especially on Israeli domestic affairs, federations try to avoid political statements or positions. One of the few exceptions has been a decades-long, often public disagreement over policies in Israel that appear to discriminate against the non-Orthodox religious denominations, which represent a majority of affiliated American Jews.
But Goldstein said his concerns over the judicial reforms are consistent with the federations' support for various causes that some think will be undermined by the new Israeli government's policies. "We've long invested in programs and nonprofits that amplify diverse voices and work to build bridges of understanding, helping to create spaces for all the tribes of Israel — Secular, Haredi, Arab, LGBTQ+, Ethiopian, and more," he wrote.

Could the Feds Make a Felony Case out of a Lost Lunch Receipt?
Jesse Gessin / Keller/Anderle LLP September 15, 2017 12:17 PM
"If this is the law, nobody is safe."
Those are the words of two federal appellate judges. Their concern is that the criminal obstruction statute for tax investigations, 26 U.S.C. § 7212(a), is being interpreted to afford "capacious, unbounded, and oppressive" opportunities for government abuse. General counsel should be just as troubled, for these judges see a regime on the horizon where a prosecutor says, "Show me the man, and I'll find you the crime." More likely, the eager prosecutor will say, "Show me the corporation…" These two judges are not the only ones on the federal bench who are uneasy; this fall in United States v. Marinello, the United States Supreme Court will decide the scope of the statute.
The issue in Marinello is whether a defendant who fails to maintain records at a time when the IRS does not have a pending IRS investigation of the individual or corporation may nonetheless be convicted of a felony of obstructing the administration of the tax code.
Under the law of four circuits (First, Second, Ninth, and Tenth), almost any act or omission is a basis for an obstruction charge because there is no mens rea requirement of a pending tax investigation. The action need only be done with intent to obtain an unlawful benefit, and that benefit does not need to be a benefit under the tax code. The Sixth Circuit has split from the other circuits by requiring knowledge of an active IRS investigation. The American College of Tax Counsel and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers filed briefs supporting a certiorari grant and calling for the Supreme Court to narrow the scope of criminal liability.
Concern for General Counsel
The consternation is heightened for corporate counsel advising on legitimate but aggressive tax avoidance strategies. If the strategy turns out to be improper, a lost lunch receipt, incomplete notes from a meeting on accounting methodology, or even cash transactions could become fodder for a federal agent or prosecutor looking to criminally indict. General counsel should monitor Marinello as the case works its way through the Supreme Court and seek advice from white-collar defense attorneys about accounting practices that are based on aggressive tax minimization.

What is cannabidiol, or CBD?
First of all, hemp contains naturally high levels of CBD and low levels of THC while marijuana produces low levels of CBD and high levels of THC. To get CBD oil from marijuana, special strains must be developed and hybridized, which means the oil is not being derived from a source that occurs in nature.
Second, CBD oil from hemp is legal while CBD oil from marijuana is only legal in specific states and for the treatment of specific disorders – mostly those involving seizures. That means that in those states where its use is legal, you must have at least one prescription to obtain it.
Finally, while CBD oil from hemp suffers from some image problems, thanks to its link with marijuana, its use as a supplement is still far more socially acceptable and less controversial than CBD oil from its cousin.
Why do so many people prefer CBD from hemp compared to CBD from marijuana?
What conditions does CBD treat?

Fantastic Apartment! My husband and I stayed 5 nights and just loved it! The apartment is clean, well-maintained, and the view is wonderful -- both from the windows AND from the terrace! Veronica left us a sweet basket of snack foods and juice, and was very helpful. Be prepared to walk up 5 1/2 flights of 22 steps, but it was worth it. Just a short walk from the subway in a non-touristy area, so very easy to get to the heart of Rome. It was quiet and we felt very safe there. Highly recommended!
What a nice vacation! We had a lovely time in this warm apartment with an amazing view! The weather was not excellent but every evening when we came back home we really felt comfortable! Thank you Annalisa for your tips and your help. We will come back!
Situation privilégiée d'un penthouse panoramique! Après avoir parcouru Rome la journée entière, nous avions le plaisir de nous retrouver le soir dans cet appartement accueillant et admirablement bien situé. La description initiale correspond à la réalité. La proximité des transports en commun est un atout. De plus, tout a été mis en oeuvre par la propriétaire pour résoudre un petit souci de connexion à Internet. Merci encore Veronica.
Great location, stunning views. The apartment building is easily accessible from Cipro metro station. It's just a short walk away and the building is easy to find. The apartment is on the very top floor and the building does not have a lift so is not recommended for those who struggle with stairs! We were greeted by Veronica, who owns the apartment, and her husband who both spoke English really well. Veronica had left us a lovely welcome basket with some food and drink which was much appreciated. The cupboards were stocked with pasta and sauces and coffee and there were eggs and milk in the fridge. Everything was clean and it had basic things you need like cooking and eating items, towels, bed linen etc. The internet provided is a USB dongle, so if you need to use the internet you will need a laptop as you can't plug it into your phone or tablet. The two roof terraces were great, and from the top terrace you get an incredible view of the city, including St Peters' Basilica. As for buying food and drink, the local Carrefour is a 5 minute walk away and stocks most things you will need. Overall, it was a great little apartment and I recommend staying here as it is close to transport links and supermarkets, it is clean, safe, and the hosts are wonderful. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks for letting us stay!
Awesome apartment in Rome, close to the Vatican Very bright, clean with a tremendous view. Although we only stayed one night, if I was coming back to Rome, I would definitely stay here for the entire time. Close to the Vatican, shops, groceries, taxis. Veronica met us when we arrived and was a gracious host. A lovely basket of goodies was waiting and we definitely appreciated the fabulous dinner it provided. Thank you Annalisa and Veronica. Highly recommend this apt to everyone. Just one warning, there is no elevator so if you need to get your daily quota of steps, this will certainly help!!
Appartement très agréable! Logement tout a fait adapté pour un we de découverte de la ville de ROME. Très agréable, les gros plus sont sans conteste les 2 terrasses avec vues sur les toits et sur la Basilique St Pierre et le Vatican. Beaucoup de visites possibles à pieds ou en métro tout proche. Merci à notre hôte pour son accueil chaleureux et le petit panier garnis très apprécié. Nous recommandons.
Moments de bonheur! Quel plaisir de se retrouver au cœur de la vie romaine, à deux pas d'un métro et bénéficiant d'une vue magnifique sur la ville et St-pierre-de-Rome. Accueil chaleureux, panier de victuailles à notre intention, un logement habité comme on les aime et pas de complications. toute belle Roma.
Endroit merveilleux! l'appartement est idéalement placé avec métro, station de Taxi, supermarché à deux pas de l'appartement. vue très agréable sur le Vatican appartement tout confort avec deux terrasses dont l'une dispose d'un barbecue. séjour reposant et très agréable assuré! j'y retournerai assurément.
Everything was great! The beautiful view and great terraces were the perfect place to stay in rome, withdrawn from the busy center, yet well-connected by metro, and walking distance to vatican. The local restaurants are cozy, genuine and a bit cheaper than in the touristy center. The apartment has everything, and we were very impressed by the warm welcome we got. There was snacks, wine, water, coffee, toiletpaper and everything we needed to move straight in.
We (3 of us) stayed in this lovely apartment for 4 days. The food and goodies and that greet us when we arrived were perfect and very much appreciated. Very thoughtful indeed. The apartment was very clean and had everything you need. The views were amazing even from the living room. It was great to sit out on either patio in the evening and look out onto the city of Rome and in particular, St. Peter's, after a long day of walking and touring Rome. What an amazing city. There is no other like it. The city is a museum! The apartment is close to the metro and therefore very easy to get around. It is close to shopping and walking distance to the Vatican. We felt very comfortable in this apartment. There was plenty of room for the 3 of us and we felt very safe. Walking up 5 flights of stairs was not a very big issue. It meant we could eat more gelato without guilt!!! We loved this apartment and would definitely go back. It was a pleasure meeting Veronica. Thank you.
This is an ideal flat for an individual or a couple who wants to be near the Vatican/centrally located without being in a tourist zone. The neighbourhood is upscale and residential with everything you will need for your stay. The highlight of the flat is the two-story terrace overlooking Rome and the Vatican. The host was incredibly accommodating and helpful. I sincerely recommend and will personally choose again for my next stay in Rome.
My husband and I spent a week end in this very nice apartment. The owner, Veronica, met us in person and was very generous, inviting us to help ourselves to everything in the kitchen. The view is fantastic from the living room, the kitchen and the bathroom, but it is the roof top terrace that is the best thing with this place! There are six floors of stairs to climb, but it is worth it! The neighbourhood is genuine Roman, with almost no tourists. For lunch and aperitif we can recommend The Green Bar, and for dinner Beere Mangiare & co.
We stayed here in Sept 15, and were thoroughly pleased. Not only was everybody very nice, but to help arrange transportation and acquire food for us was over the top. The views are magnificent and the area quiet, but close enough to transportation nit to be inconvenient. When we come back, we hope this apartment is available again!


"This was handed down to me by Mom, a Cincinnati native. Skimming the fat makes this a healthier version than most, and gives it the right consistency. I like mine 4-way, with spaghetti, raw chopped onions, grated mild cheddar, and oyster crackers!"
Place the ground beef in a large pan, cover with about 1 quart of cold water, and bring to a boil, stirring and breaking up the beef with a fork to a fine texture. Slowly boil until the meat is thoroughly cooked, about 30 minutes, then remove from heat and refrigerate in the pan overnight.
The next day, skim the solid fat from the top of the pan, and discard the fat. Place the beef mixture over medium heat, and stir in the onions, tomato sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, chocolate, chili powder, salt, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, cloves, allspice berries, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours. Add water if necessary to prevent the chili from burning.
I'm from Cincinnati and enjoyed Skyline chili my whole life. This recipe is the closest to the original Skyline taste and texture of any I've tested. Great recipe - Great chili.


Recent hailstorm affected the crops increasing problems of farmers in the state who are already going through miserable conditions. Before this, the farmers of the state are opposing government's policies. Those people associated with agrarian society are facing crisis continuously such as debts, much higher production costs and lack of Minimum Support Price(MSP). In view of above scenario , farmers had conducted huge protest last year against the policies of centre and state government resulting in the increased problems for government also. The crop growers in state have been demanded the implementation of the Swaminathan commissions' recommendations and report and government failed to do so. It is learnt that non-implementation of MSP of milk, vegetables and fruit do exists as a problem to farmers as production cost get higher than production of the same. The agrarian community does not find the recent annual financial assistance of Rs 6000 to those farmers with five acre land enough .
In wake of this , farmers had conducted a state level rally in support of their demands in Pipli of Kurukshetra on February 3, 2019 . The widening gap between production cost and Minimum Support Prize( MSP) is also a matter of serious concern as the farmers have deficit on the crops of wheat, rice and gram which is Rs 234, 1713 and 867 per Quintal respectively. The information shows that the farmers spend an amount of Rs 2074 to produce one quintal wheat while an amount of Rs 1840 has been fixed as MSP for same. Bhartiya Kisan Union(BKU) has come with up many demands for farmers. " State government should fix the MSP even for vegetables, milk and fruits also which may help farmers to get economical conditions better. " said state president of BKU , Gurunam Singh Chaduni. The policies of government left the farmers in a state of disappointment, he added. It also comes to light that there is huge difference between the cost and income for the production of one Quintal gram. The expenditure as per Quintal amounts to be Rs 6333 while the fixed MSP is Rs 4620 in return.

HYDERABAD (Reuters) - IKEA will set some prices even lower in India than elsewhere when it opens its first store in the country on Thursday, as it woos cost-conscious shoppers unaccustomed to DIY furniture.
Over a decade since floating the idea of Indian expansion, the Swedish retailer will finally mark its entry with a 400,000 square foot (37,160 square metre) store in the southern city of Hyderabad, where 1,000 of the items, including some cutlery and stuffed toys, will be priced at less than 200 rupees ($2.91).
IKEA is pushing into Asia and South America as growth slows in Europe and North America. It is betting on India with its growing middle class, but mindful of the relatively high pricing that hit sales when entering China and Australia.
Known for its giant out-of-town warehouse stores, IKEA is in the early stages globally of moving towards smaller inner-city showrooms as it adapts to the rise of online retailing. While the initial plan in India was for 25 traditional stores by 2025, the country will now get some of the smaller outlets.
IKEA India finance chief Preet Dhupar told Reuters that in Mumbai, where the next traditional store is planned for summer 2019, a city-centre format could open in the same year. And in third-out town Bangalore, the first traditional store, planned for 2020, could even be preceded by a city-centre format.
Regulation dictates IKEA must source at least 30 percent of materials locally within five years of starting operation. It already sources about a fifth of its global supplies from India.
Group Chief Executive Jesper Brodin, at a news conference on Wednesday, said India would become one of IKEA's biggest sourcing markets in the future. At present, its top suppliers are China, Poland and Italy.
Per Hornell, IKEA's market manager for the Indian state of Maharashtra, said a big opportunity laid in establishing large-scale production in the country of board-on-frame, a recent and lighter alternative to particle board, to stop having to import it from Europe and China.
"Board-on-frame is used to make bookshelves or wardrobes. That is a component to make most of our furniture range," Hornell told Reuters.
IKEA India boss Peter Betzel said products and materials that IKEA was currently looking to source more of locally were textile, metal and wood such as bamboo and acacia.
IKEA's newly launched Indian website showed popular products at lower prices than in the United States. The white variation of its best-selling Billy bookcase is cheaper by a fifth and the dark-grey Ektorp sofa is priced 30 percent lower.
Nevertheless, analyst Sowmya Adiraju at researcher Euromonitor International said the target audience for many current IKEA products, especially big-ticket items, seemed to be the wealthier end of India's middle class.
"It would be interesting to see how IKEA does justice to its vision of 'furniture for all'," she said.
IKEA will not only have to win over tastes in India, but also change a culture. Driving to a shop for do-it-yourself (DIY) interior goods is a novel concept in India, where made-to-order furniture is delivered to the customer fully assembled.
IKEA has therefore taken the unusual step of setting up a 150-member in-house task force to help with assembly. Overall, the Hyderabad store will directly employ 950 people and another 1,500 indirectly for various services, it said on Wednesday.
So far, IKEA has spent half the 105 billion rupees ($1.5 billion) earmarked for investment in the country, and plans to spend 10 billion rupees setting up each store.
Competition in India includes startups Pepperfry and UrbanLadder, which offer free delivery and furniture assembled on site at no extra cost. The overall market, however, is dominated by a multitude of vendors selling ready-made or made-to-order furniture.
"Even though winning customers in the highly fragmented, untapped and unorganised Indian market will not be easy for the Swedish home furniture giant, it will surely accelerate a shift to organised space (market)," market researcher GlobalData said in a note.
GlobalData forecast a compound annual growth rate of nearly 11 percent over 2016-2021 in India's furniture and home-improvement market, reaching 4,979.3 billion rupees.

"By August, 49 homicides had occurred in 2020, surpassing the number of homicides in all of 2019. By mid-November, the number of homicides was up to 74, which is the third-highest total in the city's history. Additionally, nearly 500 people have been shot in Minneapolis this year," reports the Washington Examiner.
"This is one of the most painful years I've ever experienced, and I've been in Minneapolis all of my life," said Cam Gordon, City Council member for Ward 2, in August. "I think the number of guns, the number of shootings, it's very concerning. It's sad."
The City Council voted in recent days to allocate $500,000 to hire "outside police officers" after dozens of cops left the city once officials vowed to "defund the department."

'LIKE A NUCLEAR BOMB': 200 Minneapolis Officers 'Apply to Leave' Department, 20% of Entire Police Force
Nearly 200 Minneapolis police officers have "applied to leave" the Department in the aftermath of George Floyd's death over Memorial Day weekend, with one veteran cop saying it's like a "nuclear bomb" went off in the city.
"It's almost like a nuclear bomb hit the city, and the people who didn't perish are standing around," said Officer Rich Walker Sr., a 16-year Minneapolis police veteran. "I'm still surprised that we've got cops showing up to work, to be honest."
"Front line supervisors play the most critical role in making meaningful changes," added one Commander. "Don't take this lightly."
"Crime is rampant in Minneapolis right now. It is lawlessness…the criminals are emboldened to do whatever they want to do. Open air drug sales, gun violence, robberies, assaults—it's almost every 20 minutes," said another officer.

'HELP US': Minneapolis Residents Turn to 'Outside Police' Amid Violent Crime Surge, Cop Shortage
Scared residents in Minneapolis, Minnesota are reportedly turning to "outside police" to respond to emergencies as the city grapples with an officer shortage after the council voted to "defund" the department.
"Officials in Minneapolis are considering bringing in police from other jurisdictions as the city faces a shortage of officers and a wave of violent crime," reports Fox News. "Officers from the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office and Metro Transit Police would form Joint Enforcement Teams and primarily respond to violent 911 calls."
"We're not gonna be having these people out taking bicycle theft reports. These are going to be people out combating crime issues," said John Elder, a spokesman for Minneapolis police.
Inside sources say the Mayor supports the plan which could cost $500,000 per year.

Crowned Skulls of the Three Magi
The Shrine of the Three Kings, also known as the Tomb of the Three Kings or the Tomb of the Three Magi, is a reliquary traditionally believed to contain the bones of the Biblical Magi, also known as the Three Kings or the Three Wise Men. The shrine is a large gilded and decorated triple sarcophagus placed above and behind the high altar of Cologne Cathedral in Germany. It is considered the high point of Mosan art and the largest reliquary in the western world.
According to legend dating to the 12th century, the relics of the Magi were originally situated at Constantinople after being discovered by Saint Helen, but brought to Milan with two small cows which transported a large sarcophagus of marble by Bishop Eustorgius I of Milan in 344, to whom they were entrusted by the Emperor Constans I. Eight centuries later in 1164, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa took the relics of the Magi from the Church of Saint Eustorgio in Milan and gave them to the Archbishop of Cologne, Rainald of Dassel. The Three Kings have since attracted a constant stream of pilgrims to Cologne. A part of these relics were returned to the Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio of Milan in 1904.
Marble sarcophagus of St. Eustorgius in Milan
Parts of the shrine were designed by the famous medieval goldsmith Nicholas of Verdun, who began work on it in 1180 or 1181. It has elaborate gold sculptures of the prophets and apostles, and scenes from the life of Christ. The shrine was completed circa 1225.
Around 1199, King Otto gave three golden crowns made for the three wise men as a present to the church of Cologne. Because of the importance of the shrine and the cathedral for the later development of the city, the Coat of Arms of Cologne still shows these three crowns symbolizing the Three Kings.
Construction of the present Cologne Cathedral begun in 1248 to house these important relics. The cathedral took 632 years to complete and is now the largest Gothic church in northern Europe.
Shrine of the Three Kings
On July 20, 1864, the shrine was opened, and remains of the Three Kings and the coins of Philip I, Archbishop of Cologne were discovered. An eyewitness report reads:
"In a special compartment of the shrine now there showed - along with remains of ancient old rotten or moulded bandages, most likely byssus, besides pieces of aromatic resins and similar substances - numerous bones of three persons, which under the guidance of several present experts could be assembled into nearly complete bodies: the one in his early youth, the second in his early manhood, the third was rather aged. Two coins, bracteates made of silver and only one side stricken, were adjoined; one, probably from the days of Philipps von Heinsberg, displayed a church, the other showed a cross, accompanied by the sword of jurisdiction, and the crosier [bishop's crook] on either side."
The bones were wrapped in white silk and returned to the shrine.

Q: JTable - same items displayed As you can see when am trying a new items got like this repetition. What should I do?

I wrote a JTable redisplayer class. So have an add button to table. When click that button it should be for exp I addded 1. After I add 2. Should be display 1 2 only. Not 1 1 2 like that.
     jTable1.removeAll();
     jTable1.revalidate();
     try{
          Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
     }
     catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
          System.err.println("Driver yok");
            return;
     }
     Connection con=null;
         try{
         con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/kutuphane","root","");
         System.out.println("Veritabnı baglandıldı");
         Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
         ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM kisiler ");

     while(rs.next()){
         model=(DefaultTableModel) jTable1.getModel();
         model.insertRow(i,new Object[]{rs.getString("ADSOYAD"),rs.getInt("TELEFON"),rs.getInt("TCNO"),rs.getString("ADRES")   } );
         i++;

    }
     catch(SQLException e){
          e.printStackTrace();
    }

A: First, get rid of this line at the top of your code
jTable1.removeAll();    //DELETE THIS LINE!!

You are probably expecting it to remove all the lines from you table model, but that's not what does.
Next, replace the while loop and the two lines after it with:
model = new DefaultTableModel();
while(rs.next()){
     model.addRow(new Object[]{
        rs.getString("ADSOYAD"),
        rs.getInt("TELEFON"),
        rs.getInt("TCNO"),
        rs.getString("ADRES")}
     );
 }
 jTable1.setModel(model);

NOTE that I am using addRow instead of insertRow, so i is probably no longer necessary.


Tactair Fluid Controls Inc. announces the award of a $1.1 million spares order from the Defense Supply Center in Richmond, Virginia. The order includes 98 leading edge flap actuators for the KC-135R Stratotanker and over 1,000 hydraulic accumulator overhaul kits. The accumulator overhaul kits will be used to perform maintenance on Tactair accumulators installed on a broad range of military aircraft.
The Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker is a four engine, military aircraft introduced in 1957. Re-engining of the aircraft with the CFM-56 engine resulted in the KC-135R designation and included new leading edge flap actuators based on Tactair's proprietary design. Tactair was the original equipment manufacturer of the trunion mounted, leading edge flap locking actuator.
The main purpose of the KC-135R aircraft is to provide mid flight refueling services to military aircraft. Other uses include flying reconnaissance, pure transport, electronic reconnaissance and photo mapping. The U.S. Air Force retained Boeing to provide a continuing improvement program for the aircraft.


One is, more often than not, gripped by an overwhelming curiosity while in front of an author who has penned three non-fiction works on Ayurveda and more recently, a novel, Reenita Malhotra Hora, who slips perfectly into the character of an author, a radio show presenter and broadcast journalist, switches roles occasionally yet all the time effortlessly! She opens the conversation with Operation Mom- How I got my mother a life and a man, her book that has been published by Harper Collins.
"Actually, I started writing fiction early in 2007 and that book is yet to be published," she laughs while intimating us with details about her first fiction book, the working title of which is Arya's Chronicles. "As time and luck would have it, it was Operation Mom that got published first while Arya's Chronicles is still doing the rounds at publishing houses. It took me just about three months to pen it down!" she smiles. Reenita explains the shift from writing non-fiction to fiction as she says, "I think fiction is only a twisted version of reality and in my book, all the characters are very real; this is very much my story."
Firstly, this is a book about a daughter finding a man for her mother, who is extremely obsessive. My characters are inspired from my Punjabi roots, my mother and my daughter. We have very prominent female genes in her family.
It was easy to write the book, but the research process required me to shuttle between Mumbai and Hong Kong. I would often travel in busses and local trains to know the slangs that most of the Mumbai teenagers are using these days. Also, the only way I pulled this book through was because of my husband and family, who gave me ample space to operate.
As time and luck would have it, it was Operation Mom that got published first while Arya's Chronicles is still doing the rounds at publishing houses. It took me just about three months to pen it down!
Settled in Hong Kong, Reenita produces and presents an award winning radio show Asian Threads, on RTHK Radio 3 along with a non-fiction show, Money for Nothing. Since her book is set in the backdrop of Mumbai, a city she has been away from since 1989 when she moved to California and later Hong Kong, penning it didn't really come as easy to Reenita. "It was easy to write the book, but the research process required me to shuttle between Mumbai and Hong Kong. I would often travel in buses and local trains to know the slangs that most of the Mumbai teenagers are using these days. Also, the only way I pulled this book through was because of my husband and family, who gave me ample space to operate," she shares.
The book, which revolves around the life of a single working mother, who is obsessive and protective, much to her Punjabi roots, Reenita speaks of touching upon an idea that beats all stereotypes. "Firstly, this is a book about a daughter finding a man for her mother, who is extremely obsessive. My characters are inspired from my Punjabi roots, my mother and my daughter. We have very prominent female genes in her family," she quips. Reenita likes to keep it dramatic and for that reason, she opts to have her protagonist as divorced and a single mother. "I don't know how conservatism seeped into Indian society. We have always been very liberated; take for example Draupadi of Mahabharat. Divorce has been considered a taboo since a long time and I wanted to vanquish all stereotypes associated with it, but in a very subtle manner."
Reenita paints a character, Ali Zafar, in a rather garish tone, as he becomes an object of obsession of the protagonist's daughter. "When I heard the song Who Dekhne Mein by Ali Zafar, I was almost certain that he was talking about the character of my novel," she says. The book is about a daughter, who with her best friend, tries to find a suitable date for her mother.
With plentiful on her platter, Reetika shares with us that she still has three more books in the pipeline — one being Arya's Chronicles while the other a fiction novel about three men, which is set in the 80s. "I am penning a non-fiction, the working title of which is Indian Woman's Guide to Personal Finance," she says. Reenita has the tendency to combine extreme contrasts in her style of writing, which derives much from the classics but treated in the modernist school of thought.
The little ones with some swell moves have always appeared way too incredulous for reality - the shows where children lock, pop, krump and do whatever it takes to better the stunts they perform on reel! However, it is only the real in person that turns to surreal on stage.
Eight-year-old Anushka Chetri of Zee TV's Dance India Dance Li'l Masters Season 3 is reticent, refuses to dance and yawns while doodling Doraemon on a piece of paper. "She is not dancing here because it is a new place with new people, so she is a little reserved," her skipper Sanam Johar says. "We have such long shooting hours and at times, we are really tired. There have been times when she has literally dozed off in my arms. But when she has to perform on stage, she is more than eager to light things up and I am nervous," he shares, while on a promotional tour in Chandigarh.
Dig deeper and the love for junk food stays like any other child of her age. He laughs, "She loves momos, eats up 10 to 20 biscuits but she is very hard-working and there is a reason why she is called the expression queen." The Darjeeling girl is only warming to the odd queries being put to her. What do you ask an overgrown toddler? "I only speak Nepali in Darjeeling and I have my mother, father and younger sister in my family…I have been dancing since the age of three and I study in Loreto Convent School," she answers one after the other in a child-like manner and voice befitting her age.
The school must be a casualty amidst the long shooting schedules and rehearsals. It's a give and take like with any opportunity in life. "We rehearse and shoot from nine in the morning to nine at night. Efforts are made to make sure they complete their homework on time and every Tuesday is an off, so that the children can catch up on studies," shares the 22-year-old skipper from Delhi, for whom life has turned for good with the third season of the show. "I let the first two seasons go by because I had to complete my high school followed by graduation. Fallback option is really important because it is a field where you can perform only till the time you are healthy. One-odd injury could cost you anything." He adds, "There was a time when only people in my college knew me. Now a lot many more people know; an auto-rickshaw guy even recognised my mother and dropped her off home. The appreciation feels good."
Save for the choreography stint in the film ABCD or the upcoming ABCD 2, dancing it is for now. "I'm only 22 and as of now, I only want to dance." Keep it going!
Saqib Saleem is a garrulous 25-year-old and an actor by accident! Gearing up for the release of his movie Hawaa Hawaai, Saqib talks of his life and being plain 'lucky'.
I play a skating coach in Hawaa Hawaai. It is way different from the urban, happy-go-lucky roles that I have essayed so far. I had to act mature and loved the challenge. However, it was director Amole Gupte who made me say an immediate yes. To get him as my director at such a nascent stage is just awesome.
I used to play roller hockey in school before I picked up cricket, which I have played at the state level, but I had left it for long. For Hawaa Hawaai, I had to learn and unlearn a lot of things. But the experience was worth it. It is a movie based on sports. It's also about dream chasers, as goes the tagline of the film — Kuch sapne sone nahi dete. I totally go with it; if you want to achieve, you got to dream!
Alongside graduation, I was happy modelling and assisting my father in his restaurant business. I was also dating my senior from college, who aspired to be an actor. She moved to Mumbai and told me if I wanted it to work, I would have to shifty my base. Convincing my parents was a big deal, but with a promise to return after a year's break I set off for tinsel town. In a very filmy manner, we broke up soon after. Mumbai changes people, she was not the same and the same applied for me. I modelled, did some shows and earned my living. And just when my father asked me to come back to Delhi to keep the promise, I got call from YRF. The entire family is now proud of me.
I consider myself plain lucky. From a middle class family in Delhi with no connections in Bollywood, my first two films are with the one biggest production houses — YRF. I was directed by Karan Johar next and now Amol Gupte. For someone like me who has done no theatre or attended no film school, it's a huge thing.
One dream that gave me sleepless nights is playing cricket for India. I did play at the state level, but thankfully, in time, I realised I wasn't that good. While I have walked the ramp for fun, acting has so far worked for me. I want to play different characters. I did Bombay Talkies, which many would not have and I am all set to take chances again.
Huma Quershi is my sister and we exchange notes, but we are each other's harshest critics. We are honest and keep motivating each other.
Picky is particular when it comes to choosing her work. A versatile artist, her art is about positivity, happiness and optimism. "Whether the work is abstract, pop, modern or rebellious, the tone remains positive," says this Ludhiana-based artist.
Picky does not restrict herself to the canvas alone, but passionately paints walls and other surfaces as well! She has been participating in the India Art Fair and has mostly showcased her work in group exhibitions. Associated with Progressive Art Gallery, Mumbai, she is experimenting with installation art. "Installations are rapidly becoming popular and are a shot in the arm of an artist; anything can become a medium of expression for an artist. One only needs enthusiasm to tap one's creativity," says this self-taught artist.
As an artist and a person, Picky is a free soul. Not bound by tradition, she lets her mind soar and gives wings to her creativity. When she is not painting, Picky likes to use her talent on clutches and purses! "This takes art to the wardrobe and lends class to it. The artwork is lasting, but surely needs to be treated as a piece of art," says Picky. Her clutches have adorned the hands of Monica Dogra and Alia Bhatt! The artist has also associated with designer Reena Dhaka.

Side swept curls, pearl strings, chiffon sarees and lace blouses — that's what comprises Simone Singh's new look in Star Plus's latest offering Ek Hasina Thi. Simone, who is making a comeback on small screen as an affluent and powerful Sakshi Goenka of Ek Hasina Thi, has been actively involved in styling her onscreen character.
"My character Sakshi Goenka is quite the style icon. The makers wanted Sakshi's look to be distinct on screen. Her persona is contemporary and elite; she has an aura of strength and grace. Hence, we decided to go vintage chic with my look. There is a classic charm and mystique around Sakshi Goenka. I have been getting a lot of admiration for my look and am delighted that my biggest admirer is my husband!" says Simone.
Vintage or no vintage, we are sure that more than her looks, Simone would steal the show with her killer smile only! Tune in to Ek Hasina Thi starting April 14, every Monday to Saturday at 8:00 pm only on Star Plus.
Himanshu Soni, who plays the title role in BK Modi's Buddha on Zee TV, got to meet his holiness The Dalai Lama in Dharamshala on April 2. The show has been talked about for its unique subject, the performances and costumes. Buddha has been a source of inspiration for millions of people across the globe. Besides Himanshu Soni, creative producer Ridhwana also met him. Himanshu says, "The aura of Dalai Lama was amazing. He is such a positive person. Meeting him was like a dream. I was mesmerised by his sheer presence. In the show my character is under the process of transformation from Siddhartha to Buddha. From the time I started doing Buddha, it has been my heart's desire to meet The Dalai Lama. Since producer BK Modi is a follower of Buddha and Dalai Lama, I got an opportunity to meet him in person. I feel lucky as well as blessed."

After Manish Paul's exit from Mad In India, Chunky Pandey is the new addition. However, he won't be hosting the show a la Manish but playing a similar role like Sidhu in Comedy Nights With Kapil. Sunil Grover's comedy show has too many similar elements with Kapil's show for it to be a coincidence!
Sara Khan and Parul Chauhan, who became close friends after working in the show Sapna Babul Ka...Bidaai, are apparently not on good terms now. Producer Rajan Shahi tried to get them together for a cameo in his ongoing show Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya, but it wasn't to be.
Puja Banerjee, who plays Parvati on Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, will soon return to the show. She was absent for almost two months as Sati's track played by Mouni Roy was on air. She enjoyed her break and shot an episode last week.
Deepika Singh of Diya Aur Baati Hum fame, who recently announced that she would get married to her director Rohit Raj Goyal, has now set the wedding date. She will marry on 2 May in Mumbai. They will go for a brief honeymoon.
Tiger Shroff-starrer Heropanti's trailer has got positive reviews and great buzz. Tiger is an introvert and mild-mannered. He talks about movies, girls and more.
I am a boring, not-so-cool guy, who is uncomfortable in a crowd and feels lost in a party. And now I am going to lose the few friends I have as I can hardly get to spend time with them these days.
I don't take even a day off. Even when I am not shooting, I go for my martial arts training to SAI (Sports Authority of India) in Kandivli. Also, I attend Paresh Shirodkar sir's dance classes in Badlapur.
I wanted to be an athlete but after school, I started getting lots of movie offers. So, I thought that why not give acting a shot? I liked the script of Heropanti because it gave me an opportunity to showcase my skills as a dancer and an acrobat. I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot. It took them a long time to zero in on a heroine so during this time, I attended workshops. Sajid Nadiadwala, the producer, took good care of me.
Kriti is a very pretty woman but I had to stay focused and not get distracted. I haven't chosen an easy profession. I remember the film's director Sabbir Khan introducing me to her, saying that I'm a 'shy boy'.
I was okay doing the intimate scenes but I needed a few rehearsals (laughs). I am an actor who loves to practice before facing the camera. I have had many affairs but I don't have a very good track record with girls. So none of my relationships have lasted long.
Nargis Fakhri has just returned to India after wrapping up the first schedule of her Hollywood film, Spy. Directed by Paul Feig, the film co-stars Jason Statham, Melissa McCarthy and Jude Law.
I met Jude and a couple of other actors too. He's pretty nice and normal, and Melissa, who's playing the lead, is really funny. They are really regular people. My role is a small but action-packed one.
The punctuality almost spooked me, as a five-minute delay for an 8.45 am pick-up time was met with an urgent 'where-are-you' phone call. The discipline there is awesome. Everything is so organised and so different from the way we work here. But I love Bollywood.
I have no idea how Akshay feels since I've never spoken to him. I really tried to accommodate Shaukeen but there were date issues. I had to make a decision. It's my life, so I should be the one to decide what to do with it. Regarding Main Tera Hero, I was only away for a couple of days and now I'm back with them.
After Kareena Kapoor and Vidya Balan, it is now Genelia D'Souza under the media scanner for pregnancy issue. According to the grapevine, the Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa actress is expecting her first child with husband Riteish Deshmukh. The news caught fire when Genelia was spotted in an anarkali salwar recently. The news was further fuelled when shewas spotted with a little baby bump at the screening of Riteish Deshmukh's Marathi venture, Yellow. Genelia's baby bump was quite evident in a black T-shirt and jeans. Guess we will still have to wait.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have made their final choice. Both of them will dedicate most of 2015 to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani and hope to recreate the Ram Leela magic again. They chose this film over Karan Johar's Shuddhi.
Sonam Kapoor says that she was never offered Raees and will not talk about movies that she is not doing or has turned down. That is because it is unfair to the people who are doing it and it is a tacky thing to do.
It seems that Aditya Chopra is unhappy with some portions of Daawat-e-Ishq starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti Chopra. He wants those scenes to be re-shot.
Sonakshi Sinha is all praise for Arjun Kapoor and his professionalism on the sets of his home production, Tevar. She has known him since school days and now they have become friends.
Irrfan Khan and Mira Nair are all set to team up again for a film almost eight years after The Namesake. The film is called The Bengali Detective and it is about a middle-aged detective keen to learn contemporary dancing. Irrfan is all set to play a Bengali babu again under Mira's direction as the film is set in Kolkata. After The Namesake, Mira directed Irrfan in a short film with Natalie Portman in the lead. Mira approached Irrfan for The Reluctant Fundamentalist but the actor was not keen on playing a terrorist.
Saqib Saleem and Huma Qureshi have bought a huge apartment in Mumbai and will have a housewarming party before they move in and decorate it. They will also invite their parents over to stay with them.

You share your birthday with Kristen Stewart (April 9, 1990, USA), who is a very young and talented American film and television actress. She debuted in 1999 with a minor role in made-for-television film The Thirteenth Year and after two years she appeared in The Safety of Objects. She rose to fame with the movie Panic Room.
Having youthful skin is every woman's dream. When lines start appearing, ones effort to keep it supple becomes more pronounced. By starting the regimen early in life and using the modern techniques and creams available, we sure can push our age back.
Regular use of sunscreen lotion is important. It has to be applied half an hour before you go out in the sun and one coat gives you protection for three hours. It has to be applied on cloudy days also as up to 80 per cent of UV rays can penetrate the skin even on cloudy days. Half of the battle against ageing is won if we use sunscreen everyday. Even at home sunscreen can protect your skin from the domestic lighting.
Dryness in the winter also adds to wrinkles. A good oil based or water based moisturizer depending on the type of skin helps in a long way to prevent the formation of lines. If you ever see ladies from the hilly region, you will find lined faces at an early age.
Night cream which is anti-aging can be applied but we have to be careful. It is not to be applied near the eyes. All these creams are not to be rubbed or massaged. A thin layer of moisturizer applied underneath helps to get the effect better.
Vacuum facials or microderma abrasion helps in smoothening the skin and taking away the dead cells. They are done with aluminum chloride crystals and are repeated fortnightly. It produces immediate glow.
Axils laser, which combines non- ablative radio and ultrasound, is also an effective method for a non-surgical face lift. This machine is completely painless and tightens the skin and reduces localised collection of fat by lymphatic massage.
Aging can not be prevented entirely. But one can age gracefully and improve ones physical appearance. So why not look young while we can?
Tie and dye is a process of folding, twisting, pleating or crumpling fabric or a garment and binding with string or rubber bands, followed by application of dye. It is a simple process of creating colourful patterns on fabric using the resist method. Today tie and dye is not just limited to clothing, it's being used by interior designers, world over, to create stunning effects.
Curtains: Tie and dye curtains look stunning and can easily create a focal point in the room. Use bold colours for children's rooms, kitchens, utility rooms and tone down the shades for more formal settings. You can even limit yourself to just two colours to create a sophisticated look.
Carpets or rugs: If you have a subtle room with a clean look, using a patterned rug can really add a pop of design and style. Under the coffee table, in the hallway or foyer and even in the bathroom. Using a monochromatic pallet, then adding a pop of pattern on the floor can really do the trick if you're looking for a more unique look without changing too much.
Wall art: A beautiful piece of tie and dye can be framed and used as wall art to create a stunning focal point. Adding a tie and dye art piece to the walls will lend the room a pleasant contrast that is soothing, meditative and inspiring.
Throw pillows and cushions: If you are scared to try the bold look of tie and dye, go for something small instead. Throw pillows and cushions are a great way of incorporating the tie and dye effect in your room without going overboard.
Runners: In the dining room, a simple tie and dye runner with matching napkins look great.
When it comes to decorating your home or commercial space with tie and dye, you want to be sure that you keep in mind a few key rules about decorating. First, you want to aim for a strong sense of balance. Tie and dye can create a vivid visual effect. Think of the swirling designs and the primary colours and find the right placing to give it the best showcasing with the ideal harmony and light. You can even combine different versions of the tie dye art to create a sort of mix and match effect that invokes a sense of beauty and well being.
The transformation is amazing. The minute he gets on the stage, this soft spoken singer transforms into a live wire. His high-pitched voice casts a spell. Ranjit Singh Bajwa from Gurdaspur poses with his award, which he recently won at PTC Music Awards for the best song Jatt Di Akal in the folk category. "Last year, I watched the awards on the TV and this time I was performing there," Ranjit says making no effort to hide his childlike enthusiasm.
Ranjit did his MA in Music before he plunged into his passion, singing which is what defines him right now. Performing in front of a live audience almost everyday, Ranjit Bawa, as his fans know him, has a new life to look forward to.
I sang Bol Mitti Dey Bawaeya at university for a long time, so everyone started calling me 'Bawa'.
The success of my track Jatt Di Akal has changed everything for me. It has been appreciated by one and all.
I would love to be known as a folk singer. I feel we need singers who can keep the rich heritage alive. Besides, as a singer, I would sing songs that appease my heart and my fans as well.
I would either have been a schoolteacher or serving in the police.
Arif Lohar and Idu Sharif are the two people who I look up to. I would love to collaborate with them one day.
Bol Mitti Dey Bawaeya…. It's a soul song.
Arif Lohar, Lakhwinder Wadali and Idu Shariff. I am fond of their music.
Performing live is like oxygen supply for any singer. My best live show has been at the music awards this year where I was performing in front of the entire music industry.
From ice cream. I have never tasted ice cream in my life. I am a vegetarian and I also avoid anything cold.
I pray to God to help me with the performance. And two days before the performance, I plan the sequence of my songs which inevitably changes during the performance.
I am regular with gym and jogging. It is a must for me since I have to perform live almost everyday.
Someone told me once I could be the next Alam Lohar of Punjab.
Trans fat is a type of unsaturated fat that behaves like a saturated fat because of its chemical structure. It increases the risk of heart disease by increasing the "bad" LDL cholesterol, while also lowering the "good" HDL cholesterol in our blood.
Naturally occurring trans fats are found in small amounts in dairy products, beef, veal, lamb and mutton.
Artificial trans fats or synthetic, industrial or manufactured trans fats are caused by the way some fats and oils are processed. They are found in foods that use hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable fats, such as deep-fried and baked foods.
Studies have shown a link between a diet high in trans-fatty acids and weight gain. Further trans-fat have been clinically proven to cause weight gain, even when the participants were consuming a diet that didn't include enough calories to maintain their weight.
Studies have further proved that trans-fat not only triggers weight gain but it also results in transferring the fat stored throughout the body to the abdominal region. Abdominal fat deposition is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and TFA intake is positively associated with a modest increase in waist circumference.
Since trans-fat is cheaper and significantly prolongs the shell life of foods, it is used in food processing. It is also used in restaurants, mass produced bakery items, and fast food restaurants because of its longer shell life. Trans- fatty foods tantalise your taste buds, then travel through your digestive system to your arteries, where they turn into sludge. These trans-fats raise LDL the 'bad' cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease. These trans-fats also lower HDL, the 'good' cholesterol and may do more damage.
The American Heart Association advises limiting saturated fat consumption to less than 7 per cent of daily calories and trans fat consumption to less than 1 per cent. Many food manufacturers and fast food chains have removed or reduced trans- fat.
Carefully read the nutrition labels and chose brands that don't use trans-fats.
Avoid products that list partially hydrogenated fat or oil on the label.
Include lots of fruit and vegetables in your diet.
Use fat-free or low-fat dairy products.
Try to eat fewer biscuits, cakes and pastries.
Use liquid vegetable oil for frying at home.
Products that list partially hydrogenated fat or oil on the label.
Fast food, soup and instant noodles.
Packaged puddings, baking mixes like pre-mixed cake mixes, pancake mixes and chocolate drink mixes.
Frozen food, frozen creamy foods or creamy beverages.
The interesting thing is that many from my fraternity are contesting. Film personalities have contested before, but never so many! In fact, I was offered a candidature too, but I guess one I'm not ready for it yet as it's a very responsible job and besides, my hands are full with something I really love--acting!
Politics requires you to give your best. The energy, dedication! This time more so to bring in the ideology we believe in. Are not we lucky that we are a democracy and we have the right to choose? So, why not choose from your heart? Rather than follow a herd for any other reason!
Wherever I go, shooting, gym, flights… all everyone seems to talk about is, 'so who do you think will win' and then a debate invariably starts. This time there are newer parties too along with the older ones. No party has left anything to chance! But this time, be very careful when you vote. Especially those in the rural areas. When I saw a huge gathering, I asked someone why were they there? Madam, wherever they get free food and drinks, they go. They are poor people and that scared me! Those are not the voters we yearn for. They need awareness. Innocent people who don't understand a good leadership. They are only concerned about their basic needs!
On the other side, this time the general public is aware too. Like a promo of a film, they see a promo and they know if they want to watch it or not. I think similarly people know what they want. All I request is go with what your heart says. Vote for the one who you think will be a capable leader.
I'll wish all the best to the candidates more so from my fraternity. May the best one win! But more than that I wish you the people or rather, we the people, all the best to bring in the best! Let the patriotism take priority this time. Let's be proud of our choices. Jai Hind!
While in conversation with Yashika Nayyar, we stand informed that there are two kinds of books-books which she says are must read and that then there are books that fall in the category of the perfect book.
"When I began writing my first book, I was certain and clear that I didn't want to write a Pulitzer winning book, but a book that people would want to read," begins Yashika, a commerce student at St Xavier's School, who just released her first book titled A Tug of War.
"Often, when my friends would come up to me and discuss their issues about not getting along with their parents, I would wonder that there had to be a way that could possibly help them out," she says. "This is the main reason why I penned down this book, the contents of which discuss the vacuity of fighting with parents and it is a teenager's guide to forming happy and healthy relationships," she adds.
Yashika shares that it took her almost a year to write the book and that she really had to struggle with it. However, her shortcomings and times of uncertainty were bandaged and nursed well by her teachers. "There were times when I wouldn't want to write, and even when I would, the copy would be full of mistakes, since it is my first book and I was extremely nervous. In times as weak moments as these, I was supported by my teachers," she says.
Yashika never really wanted to become a writer, "I wanted to work in a corporate sector, but once I started writing the book, I didn't feel like stopping and the days when I wasn't writing, I felt like my days were going waste," she says. With a wish to write a Pulitzer-winning novel someday, Yashika signs off, leaving us with a thought that it's never too early to dream big. And then, there are some dreams that do come true!
Her family has kept Simmi Marwaha (Surinder Kaur) alive long after she left for heavenly abode. A young journalist, she was on duty when hit by a private bus driver. Eleven years on, Simmi has been kept alive by her well wishers in a unique manner. This year too her birthday on April 3 was celebrated by giving honours to young journalists. Also, a compilation of poems Rait Ka Ghar was released by her mother Rajinder Rosy who has done a couple of poetry collections and translations. The trust set in her name does charity works for sick and old and also provides assistance for those injured in road accidents. Rait Ka Ghar is a collection of 12 poems, nine written by the budding journalist herself.
While Mera Ghar is about the plight of a girl who finds home neither in her parent's or in-laws place; Tamasha is on a hit and run case. There are three poems dedicated to the girl too, capturing her sweet yet strong nature.
Preeto Sawhney, a colleague of Simmi, remembers her friend, "We were working together for a TV Channel. She would pick me up for office and drop me too. That fateful day she did drop me at work but didn't take me along on her journey," says Preeto who has continued to tie rakhi to her brothers. Simmi Marwaha Memorial Charitable Trust continues extending a helping hand to the needy in her memory!


Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger accused his players of losing their nerve and blamed "suicidal" defending after a 3-1 home defeat by Monaco left them on the brink of Champions League elimination.
Goals from Geoffrey Kondogbia and Dimitar Berbatov put Monaco in control of the last-16 first-leg tie.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain gave Arsenal hope, but Yannick Ferreira Carrasco added a third for the visitors.
"It is just not right to give goals away the way we did," said Wenger.
"We missed chances and were suicidal defensively."
Arsenal must now score at least three goals when the sides meet at Stade Louis II on 17 March if they are to avoid exiting at the last-16 stage for the fifth straight season.
No side has lost a European Cup or Champions League first-leg knockout tie at home by two goals and progressed since Ajax in 1969.
Wenger warned Monaco, who conceded just once and scored only four goals in their group, would play on the counter-attack.
But his team were caught on the break early in the second half as Berbatov added to Kondogbia's deflected opener and substitute Ferreira Carrasco netted another breakaway goal in added time.
"On the second and third goals, it was suicide," said the Gunners boss. "It looks like we have lost our nerve and our rationality. The heart took over the head and at this level that doesn't work.
"Mentally we were not sharp enough. We rushed our game. We knew coming back in at half-time it was important not to concede the second goal, but we were too impatient. It was more heart than brain."
Wenger admitted Monaco's third goal could be decisive: "The task is massive now. The third goal makes it even more difficult."
He substituted compatriot Olivier Giroud on the hour mark after he missed the target with six efforts: "It looked like it was not one of his best days."
Former Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov: "It was a great success. We fought like a team, we scored our chances and it's a great result.
"Probably the only people who believed we could do something good today was the players and the coach. I know how the good players are that we have. They are young players, but they have good quality.
"It is a big step but nothing is over because Arsenal are a very dangerous team. When the next game comes, we will try to prepare and not allow them to score the goals they need to score."
Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim: "No-one really thought that this result would have been possible, but we achieved it. However, Arsenal are a great side and we are only halfway through this knockout tie.
"Football is a team game and we know individual players are important. We were able to nullify their threat. We were very organised and, as I said we would, we were also able to attack with a lot of quality."
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown on BBC Radio 5 live: "The team is not professional enough. They get too caught up in the moment.
"It's one thing to identify the problems, but it's another thing to make the necessary changes. Big decisions have got to be made, but Wenger loves every player and treats every player like his son. He's got to be ruthless for the benefit of the team."


Home prices in Los Angeles continue to rise. It is getting harder and harder for many residents to afford a home. Earlier this year, California enacted Bill 1069 designed to increase housing supply by easing restrictions on garage conversion units. The bill also presents an opportunity for homeowners to increase their home value by adding livable space to their home without dealing with the previously stringent permitting process. Converting your garage into a granny flat could become a substantial stream of supplemental income towards your mortgage by renting it out.
