Delhi Congress protests against rising fuel prices, says govts. reaping profit
June 11, 2021 11:45 pm | Updated 11:45 pm IST - NEW DELHI
The Delhi Congress on Friday protested at fuel stations across the Capital against the frequent hike in petrol and diesel prices. The Congress said the government has been burdening people, who are already under tremendous pressure due to the pandemic, with unbearable expenses.
Delhi Congress chief Ch. Anil Kumar, who was joined by AICC general secretary K.C.Venugopal and AICC in-charge of Delhi Shakti Sinh Gohil, staged a demonstration at a petrol pump at Delhi Gate, where they shouted slogans against the BJP government at the Centre and the AAP government in Delhi.
Mr. Kumar said that a major chunk of the enhanced cost of petrol and diesel goes as excise duty and VAT (Value Added Tax) to the Central and State governments, and if taxes are reduced, petrol and diesel could be sold at cheaper rates in Delhi.
"For the last seven years, since the Modi government took charge at the Centre and the Kejriwal government in Delhi, people have been subjected to exploitation without providing any relief to them. Both these governments are reaping thousands of crores in taxes from the sales of petrol and diesel," Mr. Kumar said.
Mr. Kumar added that the unchecked rise in the prices of fuel has boosted the prices of all essential commodities as a terrible side effect, and people, without jobs and any source of livelihood, find it extremely difficult to keep themselves alive.

Let's get this show on the road!
TV presenter and Practical Caravan columnist Martin Roberts shares his love of caravanning, and the adventures he's enjoyed on tour with his young family
By Martin Roberts
The second Roberts family caravan, this Lunar, provides excellent space for their party of two adults, two kids and two dogs
You might know Martin Roberts from Homes under the Hammer on TV, but off-screen, he's a big caravanning fan
Oops – a slight misjudgement meant the first family van, a Bailey, was written off
Wanda the unreliable VW campervan kick-started the family's love of life on the road
The Roberts family loves campsites with plenty of space to play and excellent facilities
I was feeling pretty pleased with myself as I pulled out of the Glastonbury Festival site a couple of years ago, our trusty van in tow. After a great weekend's music, we'd dragged the kids out of bed at first light to escape early and avoid the inevitable traffic jams. Motoring through the nearby village of Pilton in the dappled early morning sunlight, we seemed to have avoided the worst of the anticipated congestion.
Within minutes, my smug smile had turned to abject horror as the road rose gently before us. I could only stare dumbfounded in the rear-view mirror as the caravan unhitched itself with a clunk and trundled away down the hill. As we pulled over, it bounced off the road into a ravine, sliding down a bank and missing trees on either side with inches to spare. In my haste to get away, I hadn't properly hitched our caravan, a secondhand Bailey Pageant Auvergne we'd bought for £5000, to the tow car.
I can only apologise to anyone who was there in 2011 and, like us, left early to get away, only to be caught in a snarl-up – that was probably our miraculously undamaged caravan being recovered by a big tow truck. We're fortunate that not all our adventures have ended so dramatically, or with so many red faces. They do say, what doesn't kill you…
I've always loved camping. When I was growing up in Warrington, Cheshire, my family was always going on holidays under canvas. And my wife Kirsty's parents owned a static caravan on Blue Anchor Bay near Dunster in north Somerset. They loved it and were there for 20 years. Thus were the seeds sown for the special times we've shared on the road since.
Seven years ago for a birthday surprise, I bought my wife a classic VW campervan for about £6000 (not cheap given it was at least 35 years old) and wrapped it in a big bow. It was red, we called it Wanda and had wonderful adventures with it. We took her to festivals, camped all over South West England and fell in love with travelling light and locally. There is something wonderfully evocative about the smell of an old campervan that you can only appreciate if you've experienced it.
Unfortunately, Wanda was stunningly unreliable and kept breaking down. That was fine until our kids Scott (now seven) and Megan (five) arrived. The first time we went out together, the VW broke down at the side of a very busy road. We bid an emotional and inevitable goodbye to Wanda.
The £5000 or so we got for Wanda bought us a proper caravan – a lovely four-berth Bailey Pageant Auvergne – from friends. Suddenly we had loads of space; the new van was 6.1m long and had an awning, and we discovered the joys of family holidays together. We were truly bitten by the bug and went everywhere with the van.
Living outside Bath, we're not far from the south coast, which lets us visit Charmouth near Lyme Regis often (Scott loves dinosaurs, so we go fossil hunting). Or we stay at lovely sites in Wareham Forest near Swanage, Looe in Cornwall, Hillhead near Brixham, Devon, Start Bay near Dartmouth – the list goes on and on.
We also live close to Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire, so we're always going there for short trips. The caravan site is right next to the park and you can hear the lions roaring at night. It's surreal, and you'd only get that in a caravan.
A few years ago, because of my heavy filming commitments for Homes under the Hammer, we spent four or five consecutive long weekends over the summer in the caravan. It couldn't have been nicer – despite the less than ideal weather.
Campsites are safe and modern, the kids can play outside safely and make friends. What's more, the facilities these days are just amazing: hot showers, indoor pools and games rooms. We've only been to one bad site and, in fairness, it wasn't really bad – just a bit too commercial and busy for our tastes.
Some people think caravans are claustrophobic, but I disagree. At home we're all in our own spaces. A caravan forces you to share an intimate holiday, eating, playing board games and watching DVDs together.
Our golden retrievers Bagel and Mylo love caravanning, too. We've got an awning and they sleep under it – though they are always trying to sneak into the van. I love the intimacy, but with two children, two dogs and two adults, it can become too cosy.
The Bailey didn't survive our travels, even though it got through the Glastonbury incident in one piece. I'm a confident tow car driver, but I misjudged a set of gateposts at a friend's house and did a bit of unfortunate restyling, ripping the edge and back, and putting out a few windows. The caravan was a write-off.
The silver lining to the cloud was that we found another tourer quickly. Thus we wound up with an even nicer, but still affordable, secondhand Lunar Lexon EB. It has a fixed double bed, but I feel I've really made it in caravan terms because it enjoys the ultimate luxury: an electric mover, with – tahh… dahh… dahhhh… – remote control! It must be the ultimate boy's toy. Manhandling the caravan into place was always one of the hardest bits, though I've loved it when people appear from nowhere to help. Camaraderie is one of the great joys of caravanning. But having a remote-control mover is like having electronic gates or a ride-on lawnmower. You've made it in caravanning circles.
I love all the storage spaces and cubbyholes in our Lunar – they're so well designed. Everything pops out and unfolds like some magic, three-dimensional jigsaw. When I'm looking at smaller properties for Homes under the Hammer, I take inspiration from the creative storage ideas you find in caravans.
Our next adventure would be to take the caravan across the Channel; touring around Italy would be a dream. But when you've got so many lovely places nearby to explore, there isn't the pressure. Plus we're constrained by the kids' travelling boredom threshold – about two-and-a-half hours is their current maximum.
Still, nothing beats the excitement of setting out on your latest adventure with your family and the home-from-home loaded with provisions (we never leave without Kellogg's variety packs of cereal – they remind me of my own holidays as a child).
I hope our kids have inherited our love of caravanning and carry on what is now a family tradition.

5 Things to Watch: Panthers want to raise the level on defense
Darin Gantt
CHARLOTTE — The Panthers have lost four straight games, but the way they lost the last game will stick in their mind.
That's why Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said he wanted to see how his team reacted this week, after the way things unraveled in a 25-3 loss to the Giants.
They're catching a Falcons team that is heading the other direction, but they're also catching them in the wrong place.
You'll have to pardon the horrible holiday-themed pun, but whether it's the Georgia Dome or Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Panthers are 7-19 all-time in the House of Horrors in Atlanta. The Falcons lead the overall series 33-19.
But the Panthers are still solid on defense, and are hoping to get some key parts back on the field (linebacker Shaq Thompson) or on the field for the first time this season (cornerback Stephon Gilmore). They could help add a spark to a team that needs one on both sides of the ball.

Week 8 Game Preview: Panthers at Falcons
DEFENSE NEEDS TO BRING IT
With the uncertainty on offense at the moment, the Panthers' defense knows it needs to keep the level high.
Whether it's fair or unfair, they probably should, since that's where most of the team's expenditures in terms of cash and draft capital have been.
They spent the entire 2020 NFL Draft on defense (along with their 2021 first-rounder), along with free-agent cash for parts including Haason Reddick, DaQuan Jones, Morgan Fox and A.J. Bouye, along with trading for Gilmore and CJ Henderson.
The Panthers were first in the league in total defense after Week 3, and while they've slipped to third, it's still a good group. And this week, they've emphasized that it's going to take every one of them.
"Just fixing the little things, man," Reddick said when asked how they could get back to their previous level. "Little things here and there. One person here, one person on the next play. We've just got to get back to all 11 guys doing their job on each and every play, instead of a guy here and a guy there trying to make a play. Just everybody doing their job.
"It's just all 11 players doing their job. It sounds simple because it is that simple. We've just got to get it done."
SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE ON THIRD DOWN
The Panthers offense has struggled mightily on third downs this season, as they're converting just 31.6 percent of them on the season, which ranks 28th in the league.
That has a trickle-down effect on the entire team, as it keeps them from running the ball in the volume they'd prefer, and it wears out the defense by limiting the time they get to rest.
On the other hand, the Falcons have had their problems getting teams off the field.
Their defense is allowing 47.8 percent conversions, which is 29th in the league.
PROTECTION ISSUES
Part of that problem on third downs stems from the issues they've had protecting quarterback Sam Darnold.
He's been sacked 15 times in the last four weeks, and 24 times on the year. Only the Bears (26) have allowed more sacks.
Darnold made a point this week to say he wasn't blaming his line for the problems (since part of it is on him for hanging onto the ball too long at times), and they've likewise circled the wagons around a line that keeps changing.
"I don't think it's anything having to do with him worried about what's happening up front," offensive coordinator Joe Brady said of Darnold's issues with being in a hurry.
With right guard John Miller going on IR this week, they're about to start their sixth different combination of linemen in eight weeks.
The Falcons at least aren't the most ferocious pass-rushing team in the league, as they're 30th in the league with 10 sacks.
Atlanta still has defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, and with the Panthers starting a patchwork middle of the line Sunday (they'll start either Trent Scott or Dennis Daley or Brady Christensen at right guard), they could still be vulnerable up the middle.
OH, THAT GUY AGAIN
Speaking of problematic matchups, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has generally enjoyed games against the Panthers.
He's 10-3 all-time against the Panthers in Atlanta, with a 101.0 passer rating in home games.
Last week, he led his 40th game-winning drive of his career, which tied him with John Elway for seventh on the all-time list. Part of that stems from being old (35), but also that he's pretty good at this.
"He looks like he's 25 again," Panthers defensive coordinator Phil Snow said last week.
ROCK HILL BRAGGING RIGHTS
With Stephon Gilmore activated today, he'll get to see one of his fellow hometown products in the NFL.
Gilmore went to Rock Hill's South Pointe High, and is one of two first-round picks the school has produced (along with former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney).
But that's still well behind their cross-town rivals.
Atlanta's Cordarrelle Patterson, the Vikings' 29th overall pick in 2013, is one of five first-rounders from Northwestern High.
That list began with safety Rick Sanford (New England, 1979), along with Jeff Burris (Buffalo, 1994), Ben Watson (New England, 2004), and Johnathon Joseph (Cincinnati, 2006).

There are many challenges related to Big Data—particularly privacy. But when used correctly, Big Data gives us unparalleled opportunities to untangle and understand vast networks of information to address environmental sustainability issues.
China's tradition of offering a largesse at mealtimes is contributing to an unsustainable problem: The world's most populous country, with per capita arable land at less than 40 percent of the global average, China can't afford to waste 12 percent of its food every year.
As global demand for agricultural products rises, putting further pressure on land, energy, water, and other systems, many companies are seeking to incorporate sustainability into their sourcing strategies. BSR has contributed to a new guide on this very topic—and we need your input.
How can we generate value from global food waste, which accounts for a third of all calories from "farm to fork"?
In the agricultural value chain, potential human rights impacts include labor rights, access to clean water and sanitation, resettlement of indigenous populations, and food security. By being proactive in these areas, companies can improve risk management and collaborate for more effective solutions.
Insight is a powerful tool for understanding sustainability and behavior. Recently, my colleague Joyce Sood and I went out to explore how people in San Francisco are connecting with the notion of sustainable consumption. We came out of the experience with some useful insights on how to connect sustainability to people's needs.
Given last summer's heat wave and the food shortages and price increases we can expect as a consequence, I would think that food waste reduction would be as important as ever. I recently spoke with Jonathan Bloom, author of American Wasteland, to get his sense for what had changed since he wrote the book, and perhaps not surprisingly, his message was clear: not much.


An inquest into the tragic death of Emiliano Sala has revealed the football star died from "head and trunk" injuries when the plane he was travelling on crashed into the ocean.
Sala's body was recovered from the seabed wreckage last week after he disappeared on January 22.
The 28-year-old striker was travelling to Wales to join Cardiff City, after signing a $29 million deal with his new club.
The Sun reported that Sala had to be identified by his fingerprints.
"Mr Sala was identified on the 7th February by means of fingerprint evidence analyses by fingerprint expert Christopher Bradbury," Ian Parry, a senior coroner's officer for Dorset, said.
An interim report is set to be released within a fortnight, although a full report by the Air Accident Investigation Branch will not be published for at least six months.
The search continues for British pilot David Ibbotson's body, who was flying the aircraft before it came down near Alderney, near Guernsey, on January 21.
The search is being funded by a GoFundMe page and other private donations.
Meanwhile, the mystery owners of the offshore-registered plane have been identified to investigators, The Telegraph reported.
Cardiff are among a number of parties eager to establish who owns the aircraft as part of investigations to establish who is financially liable.
The Welsh club appear legally obliged to pay Nantes a record club fee. Relations between the clubs have been soured by legal demands for payment from Nantes.
James Earl, a partner at Fladgate LLP, told The Telegraph: "There may well be no legal justification to avoid paying the first installment."


Located in one of the new neighborhoods of Oradea, North Ioşia, The Holy Spirit Comforter Church is one of the Orthodox churches built after the fall of communism in 1989.
The foundation of the ecclesiastical building was laid in 1992 on on the grounds given in concession by Oradea City Hall. 21 years later the Church celebrates its patron, The Holy Spirit Comforter, on 23.06.2013. The year of building the Church is 2008.
The Church has the shape of Roman cross, with unequal arms, the length of 36.75 m and the width of 19.75 m. The foundation, the elevation, the dome and the arch are made from reinforced concrete, the masonry of solid brick, the roof boarding of wood and the roof made of zinc coated sheet.
In the inside, it is still working on the paintings, the furniture and the heating system. Also, on the frontage it is working on mosaic paintings. The yard and the fence that hedges the Church are still in the process of arrangement.
One of the attractions of the church interior is multistoried chandelier installed here in February 2015.


According to different sources, one square meter of the living place here varies form 25,000$ to 60,000$. This street is recognized as one of the most expensive in the world.
Ostozhenka (Остоженка) Street is situated in the central district of Moscow and runs from the metro station "Kropotkinskaya" to the metro station "Park Kultury".
Ostozhenka Street in downtown Moscow has made the list of the most expensive and desirable streets in the world.
Topping the list, according to Financial News, was Severn Road in Hong Kong, with an astounding price tag of $100,000 per square meter. The second place was tied between London's Kensington Palace Gardens and New York's Fifth Avenue, both demanding $80,000 per square meter.

Here, children explored the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre whilst construction was still underway choosing spaces that were interesting to them. They then designed a work of art that represented a dialogue with that particular space - respecting its identity whilst also modifying it.
Thus, the process initiated empathy with place and giving way to a personal interpretation of a space and creating new understandings of children's perceptions of their spatial environments.
Notes for a choreography - Among the many movements children use to explore space, running is the one they use most. It is through running where they perceptions are tuned strongly to the space, and giving them a sense of freedom and power. The space provides a sequence of forms and movements - a choreographical composition.
If columns were... - here two groups of children aged 4-6 recognised the opportunity for a number of a columns in a space to have their own unique identities and appearances, using different forms and materials to give each column its own specific nature.
Shadow stories - In this project the children pick out the shadow of a window and investigate the movement of the shadow where it is reworked into the story of a life - expectancy, birth, growth, decline and passing away - of day.
This exhibition takes aspects of a project that explored the relationship between the "languages" of children's creative expression and the language of the renowned 19th century artist Alberto Burri. Features of Burri's work including the chromatic quality of this materials, ideas of variation and alteration, the compositional rigour were explored with the children, with particular attention given to the creative process.
Black is made of all colours - Here children are encouraged to see the world in way that has not yet been locked into rigid categories of thinking. Crumpling, folding, rolling, tearing and transforming, they test the reversible and conservable qualities of their materials.
White, white and white - Here each child manipulates a white paper napkin which reveal a myriad of properties when explored - white, lightweight, airy and delicate, slightly textured, opaque when place in layers, but almost transparent when opened out. Each are then placed close together, revealing one large final composition, which carries the traces and identities of each and every 'author'.
Painting, between material and nature - Here natural materials reveal quantity, qualities, density and variations in colour and hue. The materials are then transformed using hands, sieves and rocks to crumble, crush, sift and powder - capturing the material's essence, colour and perfume. These natural 'paints' are then used by the children to create compositions.
Sound systems - Here 4 year old children, teachers and a music teacher build a sound sculpture using natural materials.
Here the children carry out research on the alphabetical code.
Between signs and writing - Varying contexts and strategies were investigated in relation to communicative symbol systems.
Figurative writing - Here children elaborate their written communication - reflecting on the graphic nature of the symbols, the size of the letters and words, the chromatic and tactile choice of the paper on which to write the words and the accompanying graphics and decorations.
The children encounter light - Using the initial springboards of learning - wonder and curiosity. The environments can enhance this wonder making 'spectacular' and engaging experiences.
Meetings between parallel worlds - Playing with shapes and shadows with overhead projectors.
Path of light - Five-year old children make a light-catching machine. They have to confront a number of problems such as how to orient the reflected ray of light. The children build a road of light to illuminate some of the indoor and outdoor spaces of the school.
From enchanted garden of reflections to tower of light - Exploring materials that create colourful reflections, transparencies, luminous rebounds and ever-changing reverberations - the group of children construct a 'tower of light' - a sculpture on wheels that can be moved to seek out the light and built in three parts to be stacked and interchanged to create different reflections.
Tournesol, the turning sun - The architecture is designed to enable significant dialogues between inside and outside, creating dynamic contexts where light becomes the protagonist - giving new life to the spaces so that they are constantly changing in relation to the intensity of the light, the time of day, and the season. Thus the 'places' create narratives to interpreted freely.
Echoes of light - A curtain of mirrors at the window of the classroom creates changeable everyday reverberations, they bounce around, animating the pleasure of discovery.
Light is "weightless matter", almost liquid, capable of expanding and retracting, of being captured and studied and, just for a moment, illusively, stopped.
A research project on the themes and languages of the natural sciences, based on a collaboration between Reggio Children, the Lemshaga Akademi, the University of Stockholm and the Reggio Emilia Institutet in Sweden, which followed a group of children from the last year of preschool through the first year of primary school (from 5 to 7 years old).
Concepts of transformation, transversality, and the possible connections in the contexts of life guide this project, developing children's empathy with nature.
Via The Wonder of Learning.

DIANA BINKS 'HONOURED' TO BECOME AMBASSADOR OF LONDON RETIRED POLICE DOGS TRUST
Experienced television broadcaster and presenter Diana Binks, a key supporter of the London Retired Police Dogs Trust, has today been bestowed with the huge honour of becoming one of the charity's ambassadors.
Diana, who is most well-known for her work as a broadcaster within motorsport and who is part of the presenting team at Motorsport.tv Live – news channel exclusively featuring motor racing and automotive content, says she is both elated and excited in equal measure to be assuming such an important role for a charity which is very close to her heart.
As a dog lover and supporter of the vital work of the police, Diana's association with the LRPD is a natural one and she is relishing the opportunity to do whatever she can to help raise the profile of the charity and champion the wonderful dogs who have given so much for the good of all.
London Retired Police Dogs Trust was established in 2019 to support the retired police dogs of the capital with their welfare needs. Once they have retired, the responsibility of a police dog falls to their handler – the two sharing an unbreakable bond. Sometimes, ex-police dogs are also rehomed to an adopted family.
There is no pension support to assist the dogs and their many and varied needs as they get older, which means those who take on retired police dogs receive no financial assistance with general day-to-day living costs and things like vet bills, which can be hugely expensive.
Fully independent, London Retired Police Dogs Trust has no connection to any police force. It has its own constitution and Trustees who are accountable for the operation of the charity.
Diana Binks, Broadcaster
"I am very fortunate to be asked to become an ambassador for the London Retired Police Dogs Trust, it is something I have a particular passion for – especially as a dog lover myself. The dogs, who are such a vital part of policing across the board, work most of their lives to provide a much-needed service and they help us all on so many levels. They deserve to be looked after once they retire and it's the least we can do to help support charities like London Retired Police Dogs Trust. I am so looking forward to being part of the team and doing what I can to raise awareness and support of this wonderful, hard-working and essential charity. I truly am deeply honoured to become an ambassador."
Phil Wells, Co-founder London Retired Police Dogs Trust (LRPD UK):
"We are delighted to welcome our new ambassador Diana to London Retired Police Dogs Trust. Diana is an ardent dog lover who will bring a wide range of skills that will help us to develop, learn and grow. She will be a wonderful advocate for our cause".

Patience is waning across all age groups and people no longer have the time to go through traditional forms of content. Brochures/Flyers are slimming down in size and content. People are increasingly talking about the role of graphic design in building awareness about your product. Companies are reducing the number of slides on presentations and trying to make it more visual instead. There are several alternate forms of content distribution that are becoming very popular like Instagram, YouTube, Slide share, which are more amenable to quick consumption, across multiple devices and are easy to share as well.
How can graphic design help in external communication?
Campaigns – Neatly designed HTML campaigns can communicate your values more efficiently than long texty emails. Campaigns are an example of the increasing role of Graphic design in building awareness.
Advertising – Both digital and physical advertising demands that communication be more visual and graphic oriented and have minimum text.
Internal and Facilities branding – Building your company identity starts on the inside, so your employees must be committed to the brand. What are the traits/attributes you would want your employees to display Graphic design can help strengthen that sense of commitment? What does your company stand for? You can communicate that through well designed posters or through animate videos on digital media.
Corporate stationery & Promotional items – Your employees will be surrounded by stationary, uniforms, publications, and more items that will remind them about the company core positioning.
Facebook promotions – As you engage with employees on Facebook across the different initiatives that you drive, creating well designed banners can help engage the audience effectively.
I hope you found this useful. The role of Graphic design in building awareness has been significantly increasing over the last few years.

A takeover over of WWE needs numbers.
It was indeed "shots fired" when Doc/Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson assaulted Jimmy and Jey Uso on the April 11 episode of Monday Night Raw. With AJ Styles and Finn Balor both signed to WWE, visions of resolute rebels throwing up the finger-gun taunt have danced through the heads of the IWC. Between the tease of the chrome-domed duo meeting up with Styles in London, and Balor's cryptic tweets, it appears that some form of Bullet Club derivative is in the works.
The question remains, who would be associated with such a group? Excluding the obvious candidates of Gallows, Anderson, Styles, and Balor, who would or could be added to a WWE variation of Bullet Club?
There are plenty of aimless talents with loads of potential that would enhance a group with more freshness than the beyond-moldy embers of The Authority. While Gallows, Anderson, and whichever potential leader would make up the upper echelon of the group, there's plenty of room for underneath aid.
If you're going the route of a hostile takeover of WWE from an invading army of relentless brawlers, you can certainly go the nWo route with internal defectors. There are plenty of talents within the vast WWE pool of stars that would be revitalized with a new career lease.

Saif-Kareena starrer, Agent Vinod first look out!
Suhaag January 25, 2012
The much awaited thriller from the man who made Ek Hasina Thi, is out with its theatrical trailer! The promo for Agent Vinod starring real life lovers, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor shows Khan in action packed sequences. Khan reportedly plays a spy in the film. It is believed that Bebo's role in Agent Vinod has shades of grey, and the actor has performed her own stunts for the first time, for which she had to work on toning her body.
"Yes, it's true. I have always stated that action stuff isn't for me but for Agent Vinod, I ended up doing a lot of stunts," confirms Kareena. The couple has completed shooting for the Sriram Raghavan-directed venture which was beset with teething problems in its early stages and will finally release on March 23. Read the complete story here
Speculation is also rife about the duo's impending wedding. Sources say that the wedding date has been set around the last week of March or the first week of April. The couple hasn't officially annnounced their plans yet, and both were recently quoted as saying that all talks of tying the knot would have to wait for their film's release.

Why not have an adventure away from the tourist trail? Stuart Watkins reports.
For the past 30 years, Sierra Leone has been associated with violence and despair, says Will Brown for 1843 magazine. A brutal civil war in the 1990s lasted till 2002. Just as travellers were beginning to trickle back, ebola struck. Its fledgling tourist industry still has not picked up.
But lurking crocodiles or not, the country has much to offer. You'll have the white sands of the country's world-class beaches to yourself. There are national parks aplenty, from Tiwai to Kangari Hills Forest Reserve. Just outside Freetown is the splendid Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary, and an hour south you'll find the country's first surf school.
Freetown itself is "fantastically chaotic", with "gritty bars and churning markets" amid the dilapidated, colonial-era British buildings. Around Freetown's swankier Aberdeen peninsula and the "picture-perfect" Lumley beach you'll find some classy bars and restaurants. For travellers prepared to "step outside their comfort zone", Sierra Leone is "one of the most spellbinding places on the continent".
Hand-feeding hyenas; visiting subterranean churches hewn out of rock; wolf-spotting on one of Africa's highest mountains – Ethiopia's mix of such "diverse and unique draws" makes it a travel destination unlike any other, says Samuel Gebre on Bloomberg.
Known as "the cradle of humankind" ever since a 3.5-million-year-old hominid skeleton was discovered there, Ethiopia is today a patchwork of ethnic groups, more than 80 in total, whose ancestry in Ethiopia spans at least 3,000 years. "A visit to this incredible land is akin to stepping into the pages of the Old Testament," says Nicola Shepherd of Explorations, a travel agency.
Legend has it that Lalibela's 800-year-old monolithic churches, all carved out of solid rock, were built with the help of angels who flew in building materials by night to create a replica of Jerusalem. Lalibela is smaller and more charming, and it's well worth spending a day roaming the area's 11 churches.
Ethiopia's frequent and vibrant festivals, such as Timket in January, during which the Ethiopian Orthodox community plunges into waters to celebrate the baptism of Christ, are surprisingly accessible for visitors and a good way to get to understand the country.
Leh, a town in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir in the far north of India, and once the royal seat of a former Buddhist kingdom, is as seemingly ageless and eternal as the mountains that surround it, says Lucas Peterson in the New York Times. The Ladakh region in the Himalayas has changed noticeably over the last decade, but it remains a "wondrous destination for the adventurous traveller", with its captivating scenery, generous and friendly people, and abundance of accessible holy places.
In Leh, it's best to stay within walking distance of the Main Bazaar, the hub of shopping and dining activity And the bazaar is a good destination for your first day – you'll want to take it easy and drink plenty of water as your body acclimatises to the change in altitude. There you will find good traditional Ladakhi fare, perfect fuel for a mountain trek.
Once you've found your feet, it makes sense to hire a car and venture out into the surrounding area, as this is a "good part of the fun of being in Leh". There are many attractions, but a highlight is Lamayuru, one of the most venerated and ancient monasteries in the region. It is a couple of hours' drive from Leh. Closer by is the Thikse monastery, about 12 miles west of the town. Both are places of incredible serenity, simplicity and calm in landscapes of stunning beauty. Visit early and observe the young monks blowing into their conch shell horns to mark the start of morning prayers.


Music has the Grammys, movies have the Oscars, movies and television share the Golden Globes, but the Emmys is the awards show that exclusively honors television — and as a devout TV viewer, they are important. So, if you've been dutifully watching as much television as possible in order to prepare yourself for the arrival of the nominations, then the actual awards show, you're probably asking one very crucial question: When are the 2016 Emmy Awards? Don't worry, my fellow TV fans, followers, and worshippers, I've got you covered.
According to ABC, the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards will air on Sept. 18 from 7 p.m. - 11 p.m. ET and will be hosted by the network's late-night talk show personality Jimmy Kimmel — who actually has some Emmy nominations under his own belt for Jimmy Kimmel Live. Of course, Kimmel isn't a newbie to hosting the Emmys, since he previously took on duties as the host in 2012 for the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards. He also has the support of ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey, who said, "With Kimmel at the helm, expect to be at the edge of your seat for a bigger, bolder, and better-than-ever Emmy event." Those are some big expectations to live up to!
Of course, half the fun of the Emmys is the lead up to the big show. First, TV fans theorize and name their picks about who will be nominated in the first place — although the big contenders like Game of Thrones, Veep, Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, and Modern Family are shoo-ins. Then, based on the actual 2016 Emmy Award nominations, the discussion turns equally to who was overlooked (remember all us outraged Orphan Black fans when Tatiana Maslany wasn't nominated?) and which series/actors have the best chance of winning.
Still, the tragedy of any awards show is that not everyone who deserves to be nominated actually will be nominated, let alone win. We're living in an era of Peak TV and that means some of our favorites won't receive Emmy nominations (but please, please, please let UnReal not be counted among those overlooked!) even though the noms may have been deserved.
That being said, the run up to Emmy nominations and the awards show itself is one of the most exciting times of the year for TV fans. With only a few months until the 68th Primetime Emmys, you can bet I will be catching up on all the nominated television shows that somehow managed to fall through the cracks (probably while I was watching You're the Worst and UnReal — hint, hint Television Academy) and making my guesses as to who will win during the ceremony in September.

If you fish long enough, it's a virtual guarantee that you or someone you are fishing with will get a stray hook embedded somewhere in the skin. Accidents happen, and treble hooks especially, are famous for getting buried into hands and fingers. I can think of many situations where this could possibly happen.
You are removing hooks from a fish when it makes a sudden movement, lodging one or more points into your hand.
Sitting down in the boat, you unknowingly sit on top of a rod or lure, sticking a hook in your leg or hand in the process.
You reached for something in the boat and bump over a rod that slings a lure into your arm.
You are trying to free a snagged lure from a tree, only to have the lure suddenly break free and slingshot directly towards your face.
Maybe you have a fishing buddy who is casting challenged, and snags his crankbait into your arm or face because he wasn't paying attention.
This method requires you to push the point of the hook through your skin, where you can easily remove the barb. Only use this method if the barb is stuck shallow and can easily point back out. If you have a deeply embedded hook, it's best to seek medical attention.
If the hook is small enough, you can use the side cutters to simply cut the hook pint off and pull out the hook from the direction it came. For larger hooks you need to use a strong pair of fishing pliers to mash the barb flat to the shank, allowing you to freely pull the hook back out.
Yes, it will be painful pushing the point through, but once you do the barb can be removed and the hook quickly removed. Assuming the hook is buried at a shallow angle, this can be the fastest and easiest way to get a fish hook removed from a finger or hand.
This is what I would call a "brute force" method of hook removal. The keys to this method are getting the point and barb of the hook lined up with the entry hole in your skin, and having pliers strong enough to handle large hooks. Once you're set, give the hook a quick and strong pull. You will feel some pain removing the hook this way, but as long as you get the hook lined up properly, you will get it out.
In this method, Kevin shows us how to remove a fish hook with fishing line. This is one of the newer hook removal methods to become popular recently. As you will see in the video, it doesn't always work the best.
First, you need to make a loop of line out of some heavy braid or heavy monofilament. Guide the loop over the eye of the hook, towards the apex of the bend. Second, have a helper push downward on the eye, pinning it against the skin. Third, and most important, is to pull suddenly and swiftly, upward and away from the eye of the hook – NOT in line with the hook eye, as that only engages the barb.
If you are by yourself, you can adapt this method by using a longer loop of line and wrapping it around a sturdy object like a tree or cleat on a boat.
Properly executed, using line to remove a fishing hook can be the quickest and least painful method of removing a fish hook from skin. It even works on dogs.
After getting the stuck hook removed, put some ice over the area to reduce pain and swelling, and it is a very good idea to clean and treat the area with some antibiotic.
Please seek medical attention for hooks in sensitive areas where these methods are not suitable.
To see Kevin's full demonstration of how to remove a fish hook from skin, watch the video below. If you are squeamish, I recommend you skip it.
