Arthur's harrowing last hours: Starving stick-thin boy, six, cries 'no-one loves me' in heartbreaking video as he desperately tries to pick up duvet from floor where he was forced to sleep - before he was 'beaten to death by father and stepmother'
The harrowing last recorded moments of a 'tortured' six-year-old boy show him struggling to pick up his duvet from the floor where he was forced to sleep for days on end - just hours before he was allegedly murdered by his father and stepmother.
The heart-wrenching clip, captured on CCTV, shows an emaciated Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, whose pyjamas appear to be hanging off him, grimace in pain as he tries to pick up his cover and special Avengers pillow.
The distressing footage was shown to jurors at Coventry Crown Court on Tuesday, where Thomas Hughes, 29, and Emma Tustin, 32, are accused of killing Arthur at their home in Solihull, West Midlands, on June 17 last year.
In the haunting video, filmed just hours earlier on June 16, the tragic boy is seen struggling to stand before slumping to the floor of the living room.
Arthur cries 'no-one loves me' four times as he struggles to walk to the other side of the room while appearing to be suffering from a limp.
It takes him more than two whole minutes to be able to stand up, pick up his duvet and walk the distance of about two metres to a door leading to another room.
In audio clips released alongside the video by West Midlands Police, played to the court today, little Arthur is also heard saying 'no-one is going to feed me' seven times in 44 seconds.

The court heard the youngster suffered an unsurvivable brain injury after being subjected to a campaign of cruelty which amounted to the 'medical definition of child torture'.
This included being deprived of food, made to stand for 14 hours a day and being poisoned with salt, jurors were told.
Hughes and Tustin deny murdering Arthur and multiple counts of child cruelty.
The release of the audio clips on Tuesday come after voice notes of Arthur crying sent from Tustin's phone have been prominent over the course of the trial.
The jury heard Tustin would often message Hughes within minutes of him leaving the home with an audio file of Arthur crying accompanied by a text saying words to the effect of 'started again' or 'still going.'
The prosecution said Tustin recorded more 200 voice notes during a three-month period.
Arthur has been heard calling for his uncle and grandmother in some of them.
He has also been recorded asking for a drink, while in other clips Tustin's voice could be heard saying 'stand still' and issuing other similar instructions.
On Tuesday jurors were played the CCTV footage of Arthur struggling to move his duvet after being forced to sleep in the living room for the fifth day in a row.
In what were the final hours of Arthur's life, jurors were told he was so weak and frail he could barely lift the covers as he woke up on the morning of June 16 last year.
The schoolboy was later killed as a result of having his head banged 'repeatedly against a hard surface' at the hands of Tustin, it is alleged.
Arthur's uncle Blake Hughes told the court last month the youngster broke out in tears after claiming that Tustin had pushed him against a wall and branded him 'ugly'.

Six-year-old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes was weakened by months of abuse, salt poisoning and starvation, prosecutors claim (pictured with father ThomasShare
He told the court: 'He said his mum didn't love him and had abandoned him.
'He then started to break out crying. He went on to say nobody loved him.'
Jurors have been told how Tustin would send Hughes voice notes of Arthur crying whenever he left the house.
Hughes would reply with messages such as 'dig Arthur's grave', 'I'll take his neck off,' and the 'kid is getting it when I get back''.
He also sent texts saying that he would take his 'c*****g jaw off his shoulders' and told his partner 'put him out with the rubbish'.
Earlier this week Hughes admitted he would also use 'pressure points on Arthur's neck to discipline him' after seeing videos about police brutality in the US online.
He said he would use these pressure points for 'about 10 to 15 seconds' to 'help discipline him.'
Prosecutor Jonas Hankin said the pair routinely physically and verbally abused Arthur to cause him 'significant harm and suffering'.
The distressing footage was shown to jurors at Coventry Crown Court on Tuesday, where Thomas Hughes, 29, and Emma Tustin (pictured), 32, are accused of killing Arthur at their home in Solihull, West Midlands, last June.
Jurors were previously told how Arthur (pictured) was 'repeatedly poisoned with salt-contaminated food and fluids' in 'brutal controlling circumstances'
He told the court previously: 'Neither can begin to justify what they did to him. Arthur was a defenceless child entirely dependent on them for his well-being.
'Arthur became a target for derision, abuse and systematic cruelty designed to cause him significant physical and mental suffering for reasons which are unfathomable.'
Arthur was taken to Birmingham's Children's Hospital and his life support was turned off in intensive care at 1am on June 17.
Hughes and Tustin, of Shirley, West Midlands, both deny Arthur's murder.
Arthur had moved into the care of his father after his mother, Olivia Labinjo-Halcrow, was accused of killing her new partner in February 2019.
Hughes met mother-of-four Tustin online before the couple moved with Arthur into her home near Solihull in the West Midlands when the Government introduced a lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The court heard social workers were called to the home two months prior to Arthur's death after his grandmother raised concerns about bruises on his back, but no further action was taken.
Mr Hankin, though, told the court that Hughes plotted to deceive social workers by coaching Arthur and Tustin's son to lie about the injuries.
The trial continues.

Apple Switching To Intel For iPhone 11 Chipset, Abandoning Qualcomm: Report
By Rishabh Jain

Apple's ongoing troubles with Qualcomm seem to have made it switch to Intel for its upcoming smartphones. Fast Company reported Friday that the company is working with Intel on a new 5G chipset for the upcoming iPhone.
One of the reasons that the company needs to work toward new chipsets is the evolution of 5G as wireless standard that will replace 4G.
With this move, Apple might be making a compromise because of its ongoing feud with Qualcomm, which is a bigger player in mobile chipsets and boasts of evolved chipset technology such as Uplink Carrier Aggregation.
For its part, Intel has employed "multiple thousands" of engineers to work on the technology as getting the chipset correct and making one for the iPhone is a "must-win" for the company, according to the report.
Intel had first showcased its 5G chipset at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017 at Las Vegas in January. The company announced on its website that it had "successfully completed a full end-to-end 5G call on its early 5G silicone chipset."
There is a chance that we may see this chipset in the next generation of iPhones, which would include the iPhone 11, even though the chipset may be made available to most smartphone makers only by 2019.
The adoption of 5G as a wireless standard is expected to begin around the same period. However, the company will have to start making 5G compatible devices from next year, if it wants its devices to be useful once 5G is adopted as a standard.
This is the reason this chipset could feature in a device that is expected to be released around the end of next year — the iPhone 11.
A 5G iPhone will be capable of speeds of 1GB per second and more, which will hold out immense possibilities for Apple's apps and data-centric features.
Qualcomm, before its feud with Apple over licensing fees for iPhone chipsets, had been making them for the company. It has already developed a mature, full feature 5G modem — the Qualcomm Snapdragon X50, which was announced in October last year. However, even if the feud did not take place, Intel would have been a better choice for Apple all along. Since Qualcomm makes chipsets for the likes of Samsung and HTC and most other major smartphone companies, it may not have offered Apple special customization, the way Intel is offering for its chipsets.
The new 5G paradigm may also mean the elimination of CDMA as a mobile standard for carriers such as Verizon and Sprint.
Qualcomm and Apple are yet to comment on the development. But, Intel told Fast Company on Friday, "While we do not comment on customer products, as evidenced by our news today Intel is making great momentum on our 5G roadmap to accelerate the adoption of 5G."

Lisa 5th in Scheldeprijs
Lisa Klein sprinted to fifth place in the first women's edition of Scheldeprijs today in Belgium. Klein was forced to be the final rider for our team after teammate and designated sprinter Alice crashed with 55 kilometres remaining. The race was won by Lorena Wiebes (DSM).
"The plan was to ride for Alice in the sprint. There were a lot of early crosswinds at the start and we wanted to drive it and make sure that we were present," said Lisa who was in a breakaway with Alice immediately after the race start.
"From the moment that first breakaway was over, I have to say how impressed I was with the efforts of my teammates Hannah, Ella, and Neve. They were always present in the front, made the next split, and they protected Alice and myself in any of the echelons. I was well positioned going to the cobblestone section each time because of their efforts. After Alice crashed she wasn't good and couldn't accelerate, so it was up to me for the final."
Lisa continued, "It's not my comfort zone to be in a bunch sprint. But the race today wasn't really the comfort zone of climbers like Ella or Neve. They were real fighters and I just loved how all of our team rode today. We had four degrees and full rain, but we were always present and a real part of the race. Their commitment was so impressive. I had super good legs today and was determined to try my best to finish off the good work."
"I was so focused to be patient and without a lead out I tried to hold the wheel of Elisa Balsamo. It was quite scary in the final. I was trying with all my heart and good legs to get a podium for the team but we have to be happy with fifth today."

I had a problem with the stress calculation of a hydrodynamicbearing shell. I tried to obtain the stress in the supporting shelland contact pressure distribution over the antifriction surface ina static study (were I supposed the bearing supporting only theweight of the shaft) but I obtained two different results for thiscalculation. One of them (that I expected to be the good one) givethe contact pressure distribution with a maximum in the contactline between the shaft and the bearing surface, and the other givesthe maximum in other point of the bearing (were initially there wasno contact). I obtained randomly this two kinds of results (I saythat because I obtained the two results by running the study 4 or 5times changing only the position of the shaft in the assembly toleft it as there was initially) using the SW2007 OfficeProfessional 32 bit running in a P4 @ 3.0 GHz and I don't know why,but the worst come right now because we change the computer (as itwas very slow) to a Pentium Core 2 Quad 6600 with the Windows XPx64 to use the SW2007 64 bit also and I couldn't obtain "thegood result" again.
Could anybody tell me if COSMOS have any limitation in thestudies using Hertz contacts? Does the COSMOS solver support thiskind of contacts? Why I can't reach "the good result"again with the 64 bit edition?
Any suggestion will be well received.
P.D.- I attach some pictures of the result so you can see theexplained problem better.
Hi Jose, I do Herz contact with some frequency. Here is what I do, First of all, contacts must be set for start, what means to adjust bearing and shaft to be tangent, having the load normal to the contact. The contact between them must be surface to surface, with a good degree of refinement. The Stress results are structural stresses, from the boundary to inside the model, so you can see the compression distribution locally, even the beautiful maximum stress just at converging point somewhere beneath the surface, plus the stretch at plus/minus 90deg from the contact, where the bearing is being pushed (in my cases).
The hertz contact is a surface or contact characteristic and you can see it plotting contact pressure instead of tensions (defined as one kind of stress plot, just change the type).
Attached are 1 an image of a contact problem and 2 the associated files withthe problem set up in SWX 2009 format. My hand calcs for hetz contact problems - this case is pretty easy to run a hand calc on - pretty much nails the 67ksi peak shown inthe curve plot. The maximum would typically have some noise associated with it. Not sure why this is but probably due the specifics of the contact formulation, mesh, etc. I put a small .001" gap prior to startinghte analysis and I also use an elastic support to provide initial stiffnes. Hope this helps.

If you were wondering what Lex Luthor was babbling about, here you go! SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!
I said it! If you watch this clip, that's on you.
If you've seen "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" you know that it set up some serious craziness for the DC cinematic universe.
At the end of the movie Lex Luthor is arrested and put in prison after it's discovered that he's insane and responsible for unleashing Doomsday on Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. He's also responsible for the deaths of a WHOLE mess of people in Washington DC, as well as the kidnapping of Martha Kent. Lex is a bad dude in this movie and universe.
The scene above shows Lex chest deep in some serious alien goop talking with what looks to be a hellish figure from another world. That figure is holding onto three mother boxes – super computers used by DC's New Gods, a group that Darkseid belongs to. He also looks a lot like Steppenwolf of the new Gods.
So yes, Darkseid is coming, and he's bringing his friends.
It looks like DC and Warner Bros. released this deleted scene because a lot of people left the theater over the weekend very confused. So it's just a little treat for fans. Gizmodo has even more on this.

Ocean Sciences News
Grim Report on Climate Change Impacts on Oceans and Cryosphere
A new report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that bold actions can prevent significantly worse impacts.

By Randy Showstack 25 September 2019
A new scientific report provides a dire picture of the impacts of climate change on the world's oceans and cryosphere and their ecosystems; people who depend on their natural resources; and those at increased risk from sea level rise, extreme weather, and other threats associated with climate change.
The report, released just 2 days after the United Nations Climate Action Summit, is not entirely pessimistic. It also underlines how measures including immediate, ambitious, and coordinated actions to curb greenhouse gas emissions could still limit climate change and its related impacts.
"The oceans and cryosphere, the frozen parts of the planet, might feel very remote to some people, but they impact all of us," said Hoesung Lee, chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), at a 25 September briefing to release its Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate. The report follows several other recent IPCC special reports, including its report on limiting global warming to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels.
"If we reduce emissions sharply, consequences for people and their livelihoods will still be challenging, but they will be potentially more manageable for those who are most vulnerable."
"This report is showing that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, global warming will drastically alter the ocean and the cryosphere," Lee said. "However, if we reduce emissions sharply, consequences for people and their livelihoods will still be challenging, but they will be potentially more manageable for those who are most vulnerable. The report reveals the benefits of ambitious and effective adaptation for sustainable development. Conversely, there may be escalating costs and risks associated with delayed action."
The report states, "Enabling climate resilience and sustainable development depends critically on urgent and ambitious emissions reductions coupled with coordinated sustained and increasingly ambitious adaptation actions."
The report cites other vital measures to address climate change, including education and climate literacy, monitoring and forecasting, financing, sharing of data, addressing social vulnerability and equity issues, and intensifying cooperation and coordination among governing authorities.
Rapidly Changing Oceans and Cryosphere
"It is virtually certain that the global ocean has warmed unabated since 1970 and has taken up more than 90% of the excess heat in the climate system."
Among the report's findings about the oceans is that "it is virtually certain that the global ocean has warmed unabated since 1970 and has taken up more than 90% of the excess heat in the climate system."
The report also states that over the 21st century, the global ocean "is projected to transition to unprecedented conditions," with increased temperatures, upper ocean stratification, further acidification, increased marine heat waves, and other factors. The impacts of the changing oceans on people include coastal communities being exposed to tropical cyclones and extreme sea level rise. The acceleration in recent decades of global mean sea level is due to increasing rates of ice loss from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets, along with continued glacier mass loss and ocean thermal expansion, the report notes.
Findings about the cryosphere are equally grim. "Over the last decades, global warming has led to widespread shrinking of the cryosphere" with mass loss from ice sheets and glaciers, reductions in snow cover and Arctic sea ice extent and thickness, and increased permafrost temperature. The impact of the shrinking cryosphere in the Arctic and high-mountain regions has significantly affected people, with threats to food security and water resources.
Responses from Environmental Groups
Environmental groups applauded the report and the climate change threats that it outlines, and they called for more action to deal with climate change.
Miriam Goldstein, managing director for energy and environment policy and director for ocean policy at the Center for American Progress, said that "the report offers more scientific evidence of the impact of climate change and the urgent need for real solutions."
George Leonard, chief scientist with the Ocean Conservancy, said that "the world needs to take ambitious climate action now," including reducing emissions, advancing responsible ocean renewable energy, protecting ecosystems, and preparing for changes to come.
"We Are in a Race Between Two Factors"
"We are in a race between two factors. One is the human ecosystem's capacity to adapt, and the other one is the speed of impact of climate change."
"We are in a race between two factors," IPCC chair Lee said at the briefing. "One is the human ecosystem's capacity to adapt, and the other one is the speed of impact of climate change."
Lee said that this report and other recent IPCC reports indicate that "we may be losing in this race."
He added that "we need to take immediate and drastic action to cut emissions right now, and especially right from the next year, if we want to achieve this carbon neutrality in the mid of the next century."

Warming chai spices, creamy coconut milk, and tart but sweet red plums… Escape from the mundane and break free from the monotony of boring breakfasts with this simple oatmeal recipe. Last but not least, it's pretty…are you sold yet?
I've recently been craving indian food and I thought why not satisfy this with an indian inspired breakfast? Chai, specifically masala chai, refers to a combination of indian spices. We westerners typically think of a creamy spicy tea when we hear chai (think chai tea lattes), but these spices can actually lend themselves to many unique recipes. I hope you enjoy my take on the masala chai spices with this warm and tart oatmeal recipe.
Oh I've got a new breakfast idea to try 😊.

At 'Anjali Swarup', it is all about creating contemporary Indian wear, which is simultaneously chic and comfortable.
The designer label works with several traditional and modern dying, printing and texturing techniques in all its creations, specialising in Shibori, Hand Block Printing and Fabric Texturing. Shibori, is the ancient Japanese art of dying cloth. There are an infinite number of ways one can bind, stitch, fold twist, or compress cloth for Shibori, and each way results in very different patterns. Each method is used to achieve a certain result, but each method is also used to work in harmony with the type of cloth used. Anjali Swarup gives this ancient Japanese art – an Indian twist as it is applied to the finest materials to create modern ethnic wear.
Hand Block Printing is an ancient textile tradition that originated in the Rajasthan desert region centuries ago. It involves stamping designs onto fabric by hand using intensively carved wooden blocks. Block printing is a labour intensive, painstaking process that requires time, teamwork and a tremendous amount of skill. The designer uses custom designed blocks and highly skilled block printers to create contemporary chic wear of the highest quality.
In case of 'fabric texturing', Anjali Swarup adds texture to fabric through various means of fabric manipulation by creative folding, twisting, gathering and then stitching to enhance the pattern, colour and dimensional detail of the fabric. The designer label also uses screen printing, gota work, embroidery and mirror work to further enhance the creations.
PANKAJ & NIDHI
A talented young designer duo who launched their label in May 2006, Pankaj & Nidhi are celebrated for their fresh and crisp sensibility. They are one of the few labels in the country which have struck the right balance of winning critical acclaim as well as being wearable.
PRAMA BY PRATIMA PANDEY
An NIFT alumnus and winner of the Grazia Young Awards (2011), Pratima started her label way back in 2004 with neckties called 'Prama'. Fashion, to her, comes naturally as a passion from the day she travelled to Paris in school (when she was 13 years old) under the Indo-French cultural program. Since then it has been no looking back because she could see herself canalising her artistic energies to understand what it takes to be a designer. The ability to create something new and a strong aspiration to understand, capture and enhance beauty is Pratima's never ending quest that gives life to her intriguing designs. Her eco-friendly label 'Prama' lays emphasis on natural fabrics and indigenous embroidery techniques.
ANAYA BY KIRAN CHAUDHRY
Launched in 2014, ANAYA by Kiran Chaudhry was founded by popular artist and entrepreneur Kiran Chaudhry of Club Caramel fame as an off-shoot of her family textile business in order to innovate and add new revenue streams. The brand has very rapidly made a name for itself for providing not only a premium quality product line and high-end aesthetic, but also at a very affordable price point. It is one of the top brands operating in the wholesale market for ethnic wear.

He experiments with fabrics, the joyous use of colour and the intricate surface detail. His philosophy is to challenge pre-existing norms and make fashion relevant to women no matter race, age, size or body type.
Namrat Joshipura's vision is that of a global aesthetic. Her clothing easily translates across geographies and other artificial constructs such as age, race and point of view. The Joshipura line fuses contemporary silhouettes with modern interpretations of artisanal embellishments. Namrata, a NIFT graduate, launched her clothing line in India in 1996 under the 'Namrata Joshipura' label.

SANGEETA KHANNA
Mumbai-based jewellery designer, Sangeeta Khanna is of the firm belief that women ought to wear jewellery solely for their own pleasure, and not something as vulgar as an indicator of family wealth. She employs her imagination and superior workmanship to create 'destination' jewellery with beautiful beads, semi-precious stones and silver.
Sangeeta Khanna has earned the reputation as the high priestess of the trade, with a vast circle of discerning ladies who clamour to her frequent shows in luxe hotels boutiques and curated extinctions. She believes that 'Taara: Bijoux Extraordinaire', "is a bold and unique balance of semi-precious stones with eclectic design elements, which appear almost 'suspended' when worn".
AMISHI BAGS
"A woman of substance with her 'Amishi' bag. Now that's magic!"- Amishi.
A new bag allows you to become the best and most efficient version of yourself! Given its visibility, a bag is like a shorthand for conveying individual style.

SUMANTO CHOWDHURY
Sumanto Chowdhury (born in 1979) is a BFA (Painting) from Kala Bhavana Visva Bharati, Santiniketan, and a MFA (Graphic) from SN School from University of Hyderabad. He works with various media and have used different architectural designs and printmaking too. He participated in several group and solo exhibitions in Kolkata, New Delhi, Varanasi and Hyderabad. He has received the 'Emerging Artist Award' and 'Prafulla Art Foundation Award. He lives and works in Hyderabad.
VENKAT BOTHSA
Venkat Bothsa (born in 1961) is a BFA from Andhra University and a MFA from Banaras Hindu University. His brightly coloured fulsome figuration inlayed with busy embellishments of all kinds and forms, may be taken from natural elements or sourced from media and photographs such as cityscapes, advertising world, Bollywood, technological gadgets, even scenes from abroad, which appear familiar and fun filled on a first glance but somewhat strange and surrealist on a closer study.
His larger-than-life exuberant dramatic sculptures in fiberglass come in a mix of mythology and cinematic reverie. His artistic career includes working in different tribal art and life museums for the Andhra Government as well as hundreds of sculptures and installations that he has created on commission for public and private collections across the state and beyond. His work has been exhibited in four solo shows and several group exhibitions in various metros as well as at LA, London, Lyon and Toronto. The artist lives and works in Vishakhapatnam.
An MA (Graphic Arts) from Saint Martin's School of Art in London, David Gerstein is an Israeli painter and sculptor. He began as a figurative painter and illustrator of children books and was recipient of the Israel Museum Prize for illustration. Gerstein's first exhibition in Israel was held in 1971 at the Engel Gallery in Jerusalem, comprising figurative drawings and watercolors. Thereafter, he exhibited at Jerusalem's Artist's House in 1972 with large oil paintings dealing with interiors and the seaside, work that received enthusiastic reviews. Gerstein's post-pop art style is characterized by bold colored, multilayered cutout steel. His outdoor sculpture "Momentum" is Singapore's tallest public sculpture.
Gerstein sought to make statements about the world and life, inter and intra-relationships and interactions with the environment, and less about statements concerning the language of art, per se. In the 1970s, Gerstein explored the integration of personal statement with figurative painting, particularly in his watercolors and gouache on paper. At first, these works were intended as sketches for large canvas oil paintings. With time, though, he found interest in working in watercolors on paper, only, and they became his main medium.
In the space of Sculpture, Gerstein's aim to portray the daily experience of Israeli life came to fruition in the 1980s. Gerstein figuratively describes chapters from the Israeli experience, derived, among others, from childhood memories in Tel Aviv.
Born in 1971, Sanjay Soni is a promising and experienced artist who through his paintings, landscapes – portrays his thoughts and emotions in the most profound way that touch the core of our heart. Soni has an amazing ability to capture glimpses of India on canvas and his use of colours is pleasing. Rajasthani Series and Monk series have created lots of fans. Sanjay Soni has done various fabulous solo and group shows, and various projects with Gallerie splash.
ARUN KUMAR HG
Arun Kumar HG was born in 1968 in Karnataka, and completed his MFA (Sculpture), from the Faculty of Fine Arts, MS University of Baroda.
Arun Kumar's use of readymade objects such as toys, plastic, ceramics, cow dung, hay and TV monitors gives us a glimpse of his susceptibility towards the neo-pop movement. His toy-like, yet intricate sculptural works often convey a simple message. Sometimes, Arun Kumar switches the dynamics of this relationship, creating works that physically appear basic, but convey a complex message quite contrary to their appearance.
At a glance, the artist's colourful imagery, illusive and sometimes even exotic, may confuse the viewer. But once the sources of his inspiration are revealed and understood, their multi-layered associations become clear. In his recent series of works titled 'Feed', the artist seems simultaneously disturbed and amused by contemporary market forces, the acts of production and consumption, and the haphazard disposal of mass-produced goods.
Arun Kumar HG lives and works in New Delhi. Some of his previous works include photographs, and inflatable sculptures made of canvas, latex, synthetic fur, rubber, foam and fibreglass. His solo shows include 'Feed' at Nature Morte, New Delhi and Sakshi Gallery, Mumbai, 2006; 'Inflatable works', at Nature Morte, New Delhi, 2001; and Studio Gallery, Garhi Artist Studio, New Delhi, 1997. Arun Kumar is also an active member of Khoj Artist Collective, a contemporary art organisation that facilitates international art dialogue and artist exchange, and has completed residences at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, in 2005, and the University of South Australia, Adelaide, in 2007. The artist lives and works in Gurgaon, Haryana.
MOUSUMI BISWAS
Mousumi Biswas (born in 1978) is a Bachelor of Visual Art (Painting) from the Government College of Art and Craft, Kolkata (2003) and Masters in Fine Arts (Painting) from Kala Bhavan, Visva Bharti, Santiniketan (2005). She has participated in several exhibitions and has received the Kolkata Art Foundation Award (2005), 'Rathin Maitra Award' from OVT College of Art and Craft (2003) and the 'Certificate of Merit' from the Government College of Art and Craft (2002). Her works can be found with leading art collectors in India and abroad.
The artist lives and works in Noida, UP. An especially eye-catching piece is Mousumi Biswas's painting of the green-eyed Afghan girl, Sharbat Gula, made famous on the cover of the National Geographic magazine.
ANUP MANDAL
Inspired by the socio-economic disbanding which is leading to an identity crisis, Anup Mandal's work captures the rough and tough emotions of human existence. From leaving the village to the hanging future of urbanisation, he uses aluminium rods and sheets to bring out the starkness within the society we live in.
SAPTARSHI NASKAR
Saptarshi Naskar's (born in 1979) paintings function in duality celebrating within a geometrical structure moment of nostalgia as well as the present reality. A Bachelors of Visual Art (Painting) from Government College of Art & Craft, Kolkata (2003) and a Masters degree in Fine Arts (Painting) from Kala Bhavana Visva Bharati Shantiniketan (2005), Naskar has participated in several exhibitions in India and abroad – Sixth Sense, presented by Arushi Arts, Travancore Palace, New Delhi (2008), 'Born Free', Genesis Art Gallery, Kolkata (2007), to name a few.
He has been awarded the Certificate of Merit from Government College of Art and Craft, Kolkata (2001), a Silver Medal from Avantika Regional Art Exhibition, Kolkata (2002) and 'Atul Bose Award' from Government College of Art & Craft, Kolkata (2003).
ARZAN KHAMBATTA
Arzan Khambatta is "an architect by profession and a sculptor by choice". Encouraged by his parents, he started sculpting the very next day after giving his Class X exams. He would scout the streets, garages, construction sites for scrap metal, collect the same and weld them into pieces of art he fondly christened "SCRAPTURES", a word that has become synonymous with Arzan. He got his first public response in 1993 when he opened SCRAPTURES to the public at the Jehangir Art Gallery. There was no looking back after that.
Commissioned works started pouring in, the first one being the MOGHUL outside the jewel of India, at the Nehru Centre commissioned by Noshir Talati in 1989. Now Khambatta's works are found in corporate houses, hotels, and private collections around the world and range from six inches to seventy feet in height, the most prominent ones being the dolphins at Worli and the Ceat 'rhino', at the Nariman point.
Besides sculpting and film making, Arzan dabbles in a number of activities namely designing props and sets for experimental plays, designing and making trophies, he is an avid Iyengar yoga practitioner, loves travelling abroad, and extensively by road in India, he loves food, friends and family, he teaches sculpture and creativity to kids at his studio, he cycles extensively and is currently solving a jigsaw puzzle that has eighteen thousand pieces.
A large part of his time he spends with imparting his craft to children from all strata of society. Be it the IB schools or the NGO children from slums and the streets of Bombay. He is passionate about his work and takes up challenges which defy his own creativity. His favourite saying is" THE IMPOSSIBLE JUST TAKES A LITTLE LONGER".

Q: Read and save data from file txt in a list with python code This is my file.txt:
1,  AC233FA28A31,   -64,                            1.0741886104850389
1,  AC233FA28A32,   -67,                            4.990341223352587e+16
2,  AC233FA28A31,   -66,                            1.240560004316543
2,  AC233FA28A32,   -61,                            4190057960.7655835
3,  AC233FA28A31,   -64,                            1.0741886104850389
3,  AC233FA28A32,   -65,                            685898450406726.6

How can I read the third column and save the data in a List?
The output of Python code must be this list=[-64, -67, -66, -61, -64....]

A: You can do that easily with Pandas:
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('file.txt', sep='\s+', header=None)
res = df[2].tolist()
print(res)

And you will have your list saved in res.

A: Something like this:
with open('file.txt', 'r+') as file:
    # split in lines
    for line in file.read().split('\n'):
        # Parse the single lines
        riga = line.split(',')
        riga[0] = int(riga[0])
        riga[1] = riga[1].strip()
        riga[2] = int(riga[2])
        riga[3] = int(riga[3])
        lista.append(riga)

Otherwise, if you want to handle it as a dataframe, you should use pandas Python's library, as @Flavio suggested.

A: Tried to make it understandable:
with open(r"file.txt", "r") as f:
    data = f.readlines()

third_column = []
for line in data:
    value = line.split(",")[2].lstrip(" ")
    third_column.append(value)
    print(value)

First you read the lines of the file into an array data, then you iterate over each line, split the string by the character , with line.split(","), select the 3rd element with [2], strip the left side of the resulting string again by all spaces with lstrip(" "), append the value to a list third_column as well as printing the value

A: You can do this using csv.
import csv

col1 = []
col2 = []
col3 = []

with open('file.txt') as f:
  for row in csv.reader(f):
    col1.append(row[0])
    col2.append(row[1])
    col3.append(float(row[2]))

print(col3)

A: If you dont want to use the Pandas library you can use csv:
with open("myfile.txt") as file:
         data= csv.reader(file)
         my_list = []
         for row in data:
             my_list.append(int(row[2].strip()))

A: You can use pandas and read_csv. Importantly, you should use header=None since no column names are available in the file.txt
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('file.txt', header=None)

# if you really want a list
out = list(df[2].values)

Queen of Crime »
Fashion Beasts
Just back from HOUSE OF GUCCI. Unexpectedly packed, even on a weekday afternoon, which presumably implies it's a hit. Couldn't even get two seats together, but after the BBFC certificate appeared there was still one vacant seat next to Fiona so I got into it.
It's not bad. My trouble was we've started watching Succession, finally, and the writing in that is so much better, the Ridley Scott movie pales a bit, even though it's much better looking. But not THAT good-looking. Very plush, very desaturated and metallic, very dark. But not a lot of exciting filmmaking on display. It moves quite slowly. The actors all seem to be in separate worlds. They're all giving very good performances within those worlds, but because they don't connect, the film never gathers energy.
Lady Gaga is the most compelling; Jared Leto, disguised as Inspector Clouseau's lounge lizard disguise from RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER, brings the entertainment. And, next to him, Pacino seems to be underplaying, so that's sort of a bonus.
There are some very funny lines, but most of them seem to be predicated on the idea that Leto's character doesn't speak good Italian (which the film is translating for us, using movie magic — it's one of those films where everyone SHOULD be speaking a different language, so they settle for pretending to have accents). It's true, some people don't speak their own language well, but would Paolo really have said, in his own native tongue, "If you coulda smell between my groins, you woulda unnerstan'"? It feels like, if you can write funny stuff like that (I laughed), you could, with a little more care, write lines that the character in question might say.
"Ridley Scott must really love Donna Summer," whispered Fiona, "because he uses her A LOT." It's kind of hard to imagine Sir Rid on the dance floor, and I sort of wonder if he uses her a lot because it's easy shorthand for the seventies. Most of the songs in this are very easy choices, though I respect them for using Bowie's Ashes to Ashes rather than the same album's Fashion. So we know it's not a Robert Zemeckis movie, no way could he have resisted that.
Not a Tom Ford movie either, a movie with Tom Ford in it as a character — and they're pretty careful how they handle him, which is fair enough. The film only mocks the dead or criminally convicted, which is pretty much everyone else. It's most of the population of most of Scott's films, in fact, which, taken as an oeuvre, are surprisingly bleak, negative and hopeless. Surprising since he's such a commercial presence. But maybe the idea that what we want is optimistic stories of triumph has always been wrong.
Consider the animated ident of Scott Free Productions. A raincoated man flaps about in what sounds like a darkened lavatory, then turns into a bird and freezes, having run out of animation and becomes a lifeless logo at exactly the point of taking flight, the words "Scott Free" appearing beneath him as a kind of cruel jibe.
Consider BLADE RUNNER, where an assassin less human than the androids he's hunting gets rained on for two hours, then flies off with the nonhuman girl at the end into footage originally shot for THE SHINING, implying they're going to land their hovercar at a haunted hotel… until Ridley recut it to turn the hero into a literal android.
Consider THE COUNSELLOR, which might be Scott's ultimate statement. I didn't like that film at all but it did seem very Ridley. A summation of sorts. Characters don't need to have credible motivations (consider the guy making kissy faces at the hideous snake alien in PROMETHEUS which is obviously about to eat his face) so long as their improbable decisions lead to their total destruction and that of everyone they love.
The Guccis, in other words, were made to order for the Ridley Scott Cinematic Universe.

FYI, the artwork of the animated ident of Scott Free Productions is due to Gianluigi Toccafondo, who, besides creating advertising clips, has also made (very good) shorts, for example "La Pista".

Dan Sallitt Says:
I really like THE DUELLISTS, and I don't understand what happened after that.
Sudarshan Ramani Says:
The thing that surprises me is why Italian Film-makers never tackled the Gucci scandal. I feel that Alice Rohrwacher or Marco Bellocchio could have done something with it. Or among Pan-European directors, someone like Assayas who is obsessed with the reality of European capitalism and the spectacle of it.
Ridley Scott is a director wholly dependent on the material and collaborators. He isn't like his brother Tony Scott who can do interesting stuff with even the thinnest material he gets, and is in my estimation, the better film-maker (RIP).
That's why RS has such an overwhelmingly uneven career.
dcairns Says:
We are living in the post-Sondheim era, which has a melancholy ring to it.
I find most of Tony Scott's flourishes purely decorative, so they annoy me. I like him in a less frenzied mode, Crimson Tide for instance. I know how the tricks are done and I don't find them diverting or clever. But I've a mind to check out Domino sometime, which is virtually ALL tricks, from what I can tell. And I like the first half of The Hunger, which is madly tricksy.
House of Gucci would certainly have merited an Italian director. It has one Italian screenwriter and some minor cast members, and Mario Bava's grandson as AD. I'm picturing it made by Bava as a follow-up to Blood and Black Lace. Though Scott delivers on production values, his metallic sheen seems rather cold and nordic for this subject.
I like The Duellists, but also Alien and Blade Runner. After that it's about one film in five or ten, but Matchstick Men is really nice.
Ridley Scott is Michael Curtiz Redux. When the material iand proper collaborators are there ("Alien," "Thelma and Louise," "Blade Runner") he can deliver. When they aren't he's Norman Taurog.
I actually think "The Last Duel", the other Ridley film released this year (though obviously planned to be rolled out earlier, before COVID-19 landed) is one of his best films and one of the best historical films made about the medieval era, not so much in accuracy to material culture but in terms of showing the aristocrats as a bunch of gangsters and dispensing with courtly romance and love completely. He also returns to some of the same locations of The Duellists (but it's an earlier period).
Ridley blaming the failure of TLD on millennials is peak Rid. I might have gone to see that had I even heard it existed.
It's funny, I saw it and I'm a milennial, but anyway wounded pride is justified because The Last Duel was clearly a movie he cared a lot about. Visually Scott's metallic look as you call it does affect the film somewhat (it follows the cliche of the Middle Ages being colorless and gray) but still it's an interesting film.
It's also unusual how come there haven't been notable French films on this incident, but then given that France, in cinema terms and society terms, has had issues about sexism and so on, it makes sense why they avoided this subject. Watching it, I felt that if Tavernier (a French film-maker with a keen passion for the historical film) had still been alive and given this material he'd have done something better.
"Barry Lyndon" is The Last Word on Duels, IMO
Adam Driver's character in The Last Duel is kind-of Lyndonesque (though far less sympathetic than even Redmond at his worst). Matt Damon's performance is interesting in that he starts out seeming like a conventional hero but is revealed to be more like Lord Bullingdon by the end.
My favorite duels: in terms of Samurai Duel (Kobayashi's Rebellion, Seppuku, and a recent film I saw Uchida's Bloody Spear at Mt. Fuji), Sword and Pistol I'd put Ophuls' Madame De… over BL, Western duel (finale of Django), but in terms of medieval combat i.e. knight at arms and swords and all that, it would be Bresson's Lancelot du Lac though Scott's version is not so far behind.

Shocking 1st-Round Picks of the 2014 NFL Draft for the Green Bay Packers

The last thing fans of the Green Bay Packers want in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft is a shocking pick. These picks often carry a negative connotation with them.
However, that certainly isn't always the case with shocking picks. For example, no one expected the Seattle Seahawks to draft Bruce Irvin in the first round two years ago, but he's developed into a quality player. The same is true for center Travis Frederick and the Dallas Cowboys last year.
So, even though the following five players would be shocking picks for the Packers, not all of them would necessarily be bad choices. Let's take a look a some of these picks, why the Packers would potentially take them and whether or not they'd fit in Green Bay.
Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State
While an NFL team can never have too many talented cornerbacks, it'd still be shocking to see the Packers select one in the first round. With Tramon Williams, Sam Shields, Casey Hayward and Micah Hyde all on the roster, Green Bay is pretty set at the cornerback position.
With that said, the Packers don't have a player like Michigan State's Darqueze Dennard in the secondary. That's ultimately why picking him the first round wouldn't be too terrible of a choice.
The greatest quality of Dennard's game, and where the Packers secondary really lacks, is physicality. He's capable of getting in the face of a wide receiver and dominating in press coverage. He can push opponents off their routes, but also has the ability to turn, run with a receiver and make a play on the football.
There are certainly bigger needs for the Packers to address early in the draft, but a surprising pick like Dennard would pay off instantly in a positive way for Green Bay.
Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan
There are a handful of reasons why offensive tackle Taylor Lewan would be a shocking pick for the Packers. For starters, it'd be surprising if he fell all the way to the 21st pick in the draft.
Secondly, Lewan has some major off-field issues that need to be addressed. Green Bay usually stays away from players with questionable backgrounds like Lewan.
Finally, the Packers already have four solid offensive tackles in David Bakhtiari, Bryan Bulaga, Derek Sherrod and Don Barclay. Adding a fifth as a first-round pick would simply be overkill.
With all that said, Lewan has way more potential than any of the current offensive tackles on the Packers roster. And you can simply never go wrong with drafting a player who can protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers at an elite level.
Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State
Much like the cornerback position, the Packers are pretty well set at wide receiver. With Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Jarret Boykin, Green Bay has one of the better receiving corps in the league.
However, you can never have too many weapons for Rodgers. And Oregon State's Brandin Cooks is a weapon in every sense of the word.
Cooks is the top slot receiver in this year's draft, and it's quite likely that he goes in the first round. The reason that it'd be shocking for the Packers to draft him is because they already have a similar player to Cooks in Cobb. In fact, Cobb is even a little more versatile and dangerous than Cooks.
Of course, the Packers could decide to play Cobb on the outside 100 percent of the time and keep Cooks strictly as a slot receiver, but that seems like it'd limit Cobb too much. The likely scenario is that the Packers pass on Cooks even if he's available and draft a developmental receiver late in the draft.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington
Unlike the previous shocking picks we've looked at, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins would actually fill a pretty big need for the Packers. That isn't what would make his selection in the first round surprising.
With Seferian-Jenkins, it's mostly about overall talent. While Seferian-Jenkins is definitely a quality player, drafting him in the first round would be reaching in a major way. His biggest weakness is his lack of physicality, which an NFL tight end definitely needs.
There are also other concerns surrounding Seferian-Jenkins, such as injuries and off-field issues. He broke his pinkie before the 2013 season and was also arrested last year for DUI.
All of this combined should push Seferian-Jenkins out of the first round entirely, which is why it'd be so shocking if the Packers took him.
Weston Richburg, C, Colorado State
Our final shocking pick would be the most shocking of all. That pick would be center Weston Richburg of Colorado State.
While the Packers certainly have a need at center, it's not a position that should be addressed in the first round. In fact, it's probably a position that shouldn't be addressed in the first four rounds.
However, we saw a perfect example of a team needing a center and going after one in the first round with Dallas last year. They targeted Travis Frederick out of Wisconsin and shocked the entire world when he was their selection at the end of Round 1.
If the Packers were to do something similar with Richburg this year, it'd be even more shocking than the Frederick pick. That's simply because general manager Ted Thompson doesn't draft interior linemen early in the draft. In fact, Thompson has never drafted a true center in all his years as GM.
This pick would certainly help out the Packers offensive line, but it'd also make everyone think that Thompson has completely lost his mind. The shock factor on this pick would be a righteous 10.


This was one of my favorite looks form out weekend in Dallas. Unfortunately I didn't get to wear it for all that long. We went to lunch with some friends and Andi was sitting on my lap when she had an explosive poop diaper. I knew she was pooping and when I stood up to change her it was all over my lap and all over the back of her dress. So Matt and I ran to the bathroom only to find there was no changing table. So we had to lay her on the counter in the bathroom and get her cleaned up and changed. And I am a freak about taking her in public bathrooms. I just feel like no matter what she is going to get germs on her. Well I didn't have a change of clothes. So we left lunch early and had to walk back to the hotel with poop all over me. Looking back it was pretty funny. It is the first time that has ever happened!
But luckily all the poop came out of the dress because this is one of my favorites and I know it will be a staple in my closet. It is a little more expensive then I typically like to spend on a dress but I knew I would get tons of use out of it. It was worth the splurge for sure. I can think of so many ways that I will wear this dress.
I am thinking about doing a post on traveling with a baby. If any moms out there are interested in that let me know!
Chic and beautiful. I love your striped dress and yes it was worth the splurge.
Such a classic combination but so chic and fab! Love it! A striped dress is a real wardrobe staple!

Love the dress as usual!
Would LOVE a post about traveling with a baby!

Indian Handicrafts: 7 product designers dedicated to the cause of 'handmade'
Vaishali Shadangule, Chandan Dubey, Ranjan Bordoloi, Sandeep Sangaru, Bandana Jain and Ayush Kasliwal throw light on what makes Indian handicrafts so special

India is rich in innumerable traditional arts and crafts. Every region, city and village boasts of its own handmade traditions and skills—the centuries-old knowledge embedded deeply in our culture. Over the past few decades, with the rise in new-age technology, mass-produced, machine-made products have taken cognisance, leaving very little room for handmade production. For saving costs and time, and to cater to increasing demands, many brands and companies prefer going the tech way. What then is the future of Indian handicrafts, craftsmen and handmade sustainable products?
Thankfully, a whole tribe of designers are working towards reviving, restoring, celebrating and marketing these handicrafts. Many today are going the extra mile to create offerings that not only celebrate crafts but are also commercially viable. While some designers engage with local communities, some single-handedly create objects using the age-old knowledge. Here's a look at some of these crusaders:
Indian Handicrafts | Ayush and Geetanjali Kasliwal
Anantaya is the interdisciplinary lifestyle design studio of Ayush (designer) and Geetanjali (architect) Kasliwal based in Jaipur, India. The Kejriwals are committed to the development of innovative ideas through understanding the importance of preserving traditional crafts. They create home accessories, gifts, lighting, furniture, textiles and tableware. Rooted in ancient craft practices, their collections are infused with Indian culture and a sense of place while being designed for a contemporary international lifestyle. The products appeal to both the discerning eye and the human heart. Working with skilled artisans, they redefine existing local craft traditions and artisan communities by providing design, technology, capital, and creative collaboration. The belief is that Indian handicrafts can be a part of our everyday life, and that like any other industry, can be a source of meaningful employment. "We practice fair trade, promote the empowerment of women and support artisans' livelihoods through innovative designs and processes," they say.
Indian Handicrafts | Sandeep Sangaru
"Craft is bracketed as ethnic and decorative. Craftsmen and artisans are looked upon as skilled workers, not creative ones," says Sangaru. He believes that design can intervene in making innovative crafts viable in mainstream production and retail markets. Whether it be working with bamboo in Tripura, walnut wood in Kashmir for intricate interlocking ceilings, or Channapatna techniques (lacquer-painting of wood) in Karnataka—his design and technology interventions are aimed at making processes more efficient and sustainable, while widening the scope of their utility. "Exploring Indian handicrafts rich history and making it accessible is what my journey is about. I realised we have various types of pottery styles—from black pottery in Manipur and clayware in Kerala to the glazed styles in Tamil Nadu—but there were hardly any functional, refined pieces of cookware. I believe there is a lot we can work with in terms of form, design, colour and shapes," says Sangaru. The wood lacquered craft of Channapatna has been traditionally used to create smaller objects such as toys, jewellery and artefacts, as the process has its limitations in terms of the tools and wood used. These are 'turned' products and the wood is not available in the lengths needed to design furniture. "Also, artisans lack expertise in furniture construction. I realised crafting larger objects with my expertise will help and make the art viable for younger generations," says Sangaru.

Indian Handicrafts | Bandana Jain
Founder of Sylvn Studio, Jain, an alumnus of the J J School of Arts, has three mottos: Conserve the environment. Generate employment. Contribute to society. "When you buy from us, you don't just take home a product. You take home a work of art and in your own little way, contribute to beautifying the earth," says Jain, on a mission to empower and employ rural women and those who live on the outskirts of Mumbai. "We use recycled and treated cardboard, burlap and other recycled materials to make sustainable products. The paper undergoes a process to become stronger and more durable. The result is astonishing as the paper becomes as sturdy as wood," she says. Jain has created a range of ceiling, table and floor lamps apart from wall mountings and furniture.
Indian Handicrafts | Vaishali Shadangule
Creating one-of-a-kind lighting and installations from fabric scrap, Vaishali Shadangule's creations are ethereal as well as dramatic, drawing on nature for their organic free flowing forms and bespoke appeal. Delicate, intricate, playing with textures and layers, Shadangule's creations are painstakingly handmade. "I come from a fashion design background and was always disturbed by the waste generated after cutting yardage to stitch a garment. Sometimes the weavers spend weeks on just a few metres…I always see it as more than just a textile, since it inherits the life and experience of the craftsmen, who belong to an Indian culture and tradition which has been handed down over generations," says the award winning designer who has shown at the New York fashion week, Amazon-Wills Fashion Week as well as the Lakme Fashion Week. Accentuating the texture and character of the fabric, the simple light bulb within the installation showcases details of the fabric. Vaishali's creations are arresting statement pieces and conversation starters, all with a built-in utility. What greater tribute could anyone pay to waste fabric?

Indian Handicrafts | Chandan Dubey
Chandan Dubey breathes new life into cast offs and what may even pass off as junk. Creating furniture, cushions and artefacts from old Indian 'finds,' Dubey brings to her work the mixed flavours of her stay in various parts of India. The results, however, are quite spectacular. Using objects from the past, she gives them a meaningful place in the present. Revive. Reuse. Repurpose. Restore. Renew. Reimagine. Reinvent…Dubey does all of that. "My methods for restoring the collectibles I chance upon are self-evolved," she says. "I don't use gloves or brushes…there is none of the finesse which museums teach. I taught myself gold leafing by watching tutorials on the internet and each piece I repurpose or restore, funds the next," she readily confesses. But in her hands, colours come alive in jewel toned rubies, emerald greens and sapphire blues—sometimes, in the stark contrast of black and white. The motifs are opulent, derived from mythology, jewellery, history and memories of the past. The result is statement pieces and artefacts which can adorn homes and commercial spaces alike.
Indian Handicrafts | Ronjon Bordoloi
Guwahati-based Bordoloi is reviving and reinventing the dying ancient craft of making utensils and artefacts by hammering brass—traditionally practised by a community of Assamese artisans. Winner of the Red Dot Design Concept Award 2017, he uses the existing skills of the craftsman to create high-end contemporary utilitarian objects. His collection 'Pitoloi' comprises small stools and a barstool, made of sheets of brass shaped by wooden moulds—the pieces joined by an ancient coal welding technique. While the forms are contemporary and innovative, the manufacturing techniques belong to the Indian handicrafts tradition of the country.

Indian Handicrafts | Anu Tandon Vieira
Founder of The Retyrement Plan, Anu Tandon's unique furniture line upcycles waste tyres and salvaged weaving material, providing a livelihood to craftsmen. This is what she calls her perfect "Retyrement Plan." Tyres discarded after years of wear and tear are saved from being burnt for fuel or dumped into landfills. "Tyres don't disintegrate and are an environmental hazard," she says. A retirement plan that is not just about financially securing one's own future but also about securing the future of the planet, believes Vieira. "A strong frame for furniture, in metal or cane, would cost between INR 5,000 and INR 6,000 but using old tyres and cane, we made that for a fraction of the cost," she says. The furniture is suitable for indoor as well as outdoor use, is waterproof and durable. Each piece is unique.
