AP – Indian actor Aamir Khan enjoyed Forrest Gump so much that he's starring in a Hindi remake.
Released in 1994, the original film went on to sweep the Oscars, taking six trophies including best picture and best actor for Tom Hanks. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Eric Roth based on Winston Groom's novel, Forrest Gump, is the tale of a slow-witted but mathematically gifted man who witnesses key points and figures of United States (US) history, like the Vietnam War, presidents and Elvis Presley.
Nearly 30 years later, the story has been given an Indian makeover – with Khan taking on the role of the titular character Laal Singh Chaddha – including converting the line "Run, Forrest, run" into "Run, Laal, run".
"I just remember seeing it a couple of times in a short span, and it had a deep impact on me," Khan said. "I loved the character of Forrest. I loved the way Tom played the part as well. And it's a film that stayed with me."
It took a decade for Khan to get the movie rights. But big changes were made to root Laal Singh Chaddha in Indian history and culture, with both the Kargil war and superstar Shah Rukh Khan appearing.
Laal does not think life is like a box of chocolates, he instead likes to quote his mother talking about Golgappas – small circles of filled, deep-fried flatbread enjoyed with spiced water, which has a slightly different meaning than the original motto.
"(Forrest says) 'my momma used to say life is like a box of chocolates: you never know which one you would get'. And in this one, the English translation is, 'My mama used to say that life is like a Golgappa: your stomach gets full, but your heart desires more'," explained Khan. He said writer Atul Kulkarni was adapting what was "essentially American" into something "quintessentially Indian and very relevant to us culturally".
Directed by Advait Chandan, Laal Singh Chaddha also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya.
Khan said he asked Kapoor Khan, who's had a successful career for more than two decades, to try out for the pivotal role of Laal's friend, Rupa D'souza.
"She's such a huge star and she's never auditioned for a part in her life. But for me, doing an audition for the part is perfectly natural because even I want to see how close I am to the character. So we're not really testing to see that a person can act or not, but really how suitable the person is for the part. But that's something which is very unusual in India."
Another huge star who makes a small but important appearance in the movie is legendary Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan. No audition needed, as he's portraying himself.
"We were trying to look for an equivalent to Elvis Presley in America. And I think for us, it was an obvious choice to go for Shah Rukh, because he's such a huge star and everyone loves him so much," Khan said. "He was really sporting and generous and said, yes, I'd love to do that."
Laal Singh Chaddha is releasing around the world this month – including on 350 screens in the United Kingdom (UK), which is a new record for an Indian movie.
"I'm really nervous," Khan admitted. "It's a film that we've made with so much love and care and it's been such a challenging film to make. The whole journey has been difficult but exciting and fun."
A lot of that journey was spent sprinting towards the finish line – and he "ran a lot", Khan said. "For a month and a half we were travelling across the country, and each place we went to I just was running, and Advait as a director was quite heartless. He would start a shot and he would be in the car, and there would be a camera in the car, and I would be running and the car would be just driving, and it would be a few kilometres by the time he said cut."

Modeling of Sea Surface Temperature through Fitting Linear Model with Interaction
Linear Fitting Model, Interaction and Transformation ff Covariates, R2, AICAbstract
Sea surface temperature (SST) is one of the attributes of the world climate system and global warming. The relationship between SST and other climate parameters can be represented in a linearity approach. Through this approach, SST variability shows monthly and yearly effects. Information on these two time effects is important for knowing the period of peak effect as well as other statistical measures in the linear fitting model. The models used include transformation and without covariate transformation, interaction and without covariate interaction, and with centering and with the addition of time covariates in the model. The linear fitting model chosen as the basis for construction is a model with a combination effect of covariate interaction and transformation giving an increase in the magnitude of multiple R2 (56.62%) and adjusted R2 (56.13%) respectively 0.31% and 0.43%. This indicates that the time covariate has a very strong significant effect on the model compared to the continuous covariate. In general, the model has a statistical significance of p-value < 2.2e-16, as well as for the time covariate. However, because the model has an autocorrelation and a large AIC value, this effect is removed by means of an autoregressive moving average. The obtained linear fitting model for SST data is the model with AIC 403.2987.Downloads

The book is organized into eight chapters. Part one focuses on leadership and management. Illustrations and stories abound throughout this part of the book to help readers understand and appreciate the authors' insights.

There are a number of case studies that illustrate different types of leaders and managers and how these were able to lead their teams and organizations successfully.
Part three examines the role of technology and leadership in this book. The fourth chapter looks at implementing change through technology. This is followed by case studies on Six Sigma and the implementation of this program within companies like SAP and Motorola.

The final two chapters review various topics such as leadership and managing change.
The book contains detailed case studies of some management challenges and triumphs.

The UAE's used car market claims around a quarter of the overall GCC market
The past year has undoubtedly been a defining milestone for regional travel in the Middle East. For tourists and businesspeople alike from the region and beyond, the Abraham Accords signed by the State of Israel, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have rapidly transformed our corner of the world as we know it. The launch of direct flights by several airlines, promises a brisk flow of tourists between the two nations, making it possible to travel freely between the Middle East's most vibrant hubs of culture, technology and investment and across geopolitical barriers that once prevented world-changing collaborations between the region's brightest minds.
Ben Gurion airport, Israel's largest airport, is a short three-hour flight from Abu Dhabi and 3.5 hours from Dubai. The airport is located just 20 minutes by taxi or train from the Tel Aviv city center, making the overall journey short and convenient – perfect for a holiday or a city break!
Upon arrival in the city, one can choose from a range of accommodations, from small boutique hotels like Vera, Ink or the Norman, to a vast selection of Airbnb, to international household names like Hilton, Sheraton, Intercontinental and more. Tel Aviv-Yafo is very accessible, and most places can be reached by foot or both bicycles and scooters that can be rented throughout the bustling streets. If preferred, you can always opt for a car rental or an official taxi as well. Acclaimed local fashion designers, artists, jewellers, and restaurateurs rub shoulders with both historic and modern buildings making every corner of the city a place worth visiting. Due to its proximity and central location within the country, Tel Aviv-Yafo really offers the perfect base for anyone visiting the country. Whether you're after the historic beauty of Akko, a desert getaway in the Ramon area, a relaxing and healing dip in the Dead Sea, the greenery and relaxation of Tiberias or the beautiful Bahai gardens of Haifa – all are available as day trips conveniently departing from Tel Aviv-Yafo. Local tourist guides, speaking both English and Arabic, will gladly advise and accompany you on the best destinations within the country of Israel.
It is important to note that only 66 kilometres – a short drive or train journey – separate the innovation and culture of Tel Aviv-Yafo from the ancient history and religions of the holy city of Jerusalem, one of the holiest sites internationally, bringing together Islam, Judaism and Christianity. The city boasts a rich history with holy sites around every corner, colorful shuks, interesting museums and delectable restaurants. The two contrasting cities are complementary in their nature, fusing old with new and religious with secular, going back thousands of years. For a truly local and urban Tel Avivian experience, you can head over to Rothschild Boulevard, one of Tel Aviv's first and most iconic streets. Locals and tourists alike love strolling or biking along this tree-lined avenue full of outdoor coffee stands, restaurants, cafés, and eclectic and Bauhaus-style buildings. The boulevard is also known as the city's financial district and is a business hub for start-ups, multinationals, and more. At night, it transforms into a lively nightlife scene full of trendy restaurants. The famed boulevard and its surrounding streets are among the leading locations for an outstanding dinner. Eat alongside Tel Aviv's movers-and-shakers at Cantina (Rothschild Blvd.), experience modern Israeli cuisine at Port Said (Har Sinai St.) or Japanese-inspired establishment Herzl 16. For dessert, don't miss the chance to grab an ice cream or frozen yoghurt while picking up a flyer from the tourist information center to follow the Independence Trail and discover the riveting history of the area.
While discovering that area, be sure to take a few minutes to do some people watching at HaBima Square, where you can enjoy classical music by the acclaimed Israeli Philharmonic, bursting through the square's wooden bleachers or visit the adjacent Museum of modern art. As a natural extension and integral part of the urban city, come the sandy beaches stretched 14 kilometers over the whole shore. With 300 days of enjoyable, not scorching, sun per year, you will not want to skip a visit to the award-winning beaches, which due to the size of the city are never more than a 15-minute brisk walk away!
Further, down the coastline, you will find Old Jaffa – The most visited place in Tel Aviv-Yafo, and number three in Israel overall - with its iconic clock tower, luxury hotels, historic buildings (dating back many centuries), its delicious world-renowned Halal restaurants, and beautiful antique and modern mosques. Conveniently, all signs, street names, and information documents are displayed in Hebrew, English and Arabic – making it user-friendly for everyone. A stone's throw away from Jaffa's picturesque Old City and ancient Clock Tower lies the Jaffa Flea Market (Shuk HaPishpeshim), one of the three main Shuks of the city, where vendors sell antiques, second-hand, and handmade items. The area is widely considered one of Tel Aviv's trendiest spots. As you wander around, you will discover a wide selection of cafes and laid-back bars, ideal for having lunch. Sit down for a delicious meal at the iconic Cafe Puaa (where every piece of furniture is for sale!), enjoy art while you eat at Beit Kandinof or relax at the famous Abu-Hassan hummus restaurant.
Additionally, Tel Aviv-Yafo is a perfect destination for sports lovers. With its multiple private indoor gyms including world-renowned clubs like CrossFit, Rebel1 and F45 and outdoor public gyms, in parks and along the beach; running and cycling tracks throughout the city; sup (paddle board), sail, windsurf, and surf clubs spread out on the shore; and large scale events like the night run and marathon – The city has got you covered to burn those calories following that irresistible plate of Hummus.
To conclude, whether you're visiting the Start-up city for business or pleasure (or both), whether you're coming alone, with your partner or with the whole family – we got you covered with an offering that is hard to refuse. New visitors will soon discover why Tel Aviv-Yafo is often dubbed the city that never sleeps.
It's time to book your flights and pack your bags. We cannot wait to welcome you with open arms, and hearts.

Canada's merchandise imports fell 2.8% in December and merchandise exports declined 0.9%. As a result, Canada's trade deficit with the world decreased from $1.7 billion in November to $901 million in December.
Exports and imports
Chart description: Exports and imports
Volumes largely accounted for the declines in imports and exports.
Imports fell to $38.5 billion, as volumes decreased 2.7%. Imports were down in most sections with the largest decrease in basic and industrial chemical, plastic and rubber products.
Exports declined to $37.6 billion as volumes fell 2.1%, while prices rose 1.2%. Decreases in exports of energy products as well as motor vehicles and parts were partly offset by an increase in metal ores and non-metallic minerals.
Exports to the United States fell 4.0% to $27.6 billion, mainly on lower exports of motor vehicles and parts. Imports from the United States decreased 3.3% to $24.1 billion. Consequently, Canada's trade surplus with the United States narrowed from $3.8 billion in November to $3.5 billion in December.
Exports to countries other than the United States rose 8.5% to $10.0 billion while imports declined 2.0% to $14.5 billion. As a result, Canada's trade deficit with countries other than the United States decreased from $5.5 billion in November to $4.4 billion in December.
Widespread declines in import volumes
Imports of basic and industrial chemical, plastic and rubber products fell 9.7% to $2.9 billion in December, as widespread declines in volumes occurred throughout the section. The main contributor to the overall decrease was imports of lubricants and other petroleum refinery products, which fell 43.8% on lower volumes.
Imports of motor vehicles and parts declined 3.9% to $6.6 billion, as the holiday season plant shutdowns were longer than in previous years. Motor vehicle engines and motor vehicle parts fell 8.6% to $2.7 billion, the largest decrease in the section, as volumes declined 8.0%.
Imports of industrial machinery, equipment and parts decreased 6.8% to $3.4 billion as volumes were down 6.5%. Contributing the most to the decline were imports of logging, mining and construction machinery, which fell 18.9%. This was the sixth consecutive monthly decrease for this group following a record high in June.
Metal ores and non-metallic minerals fell 19.0% to $786 million in December, after three consecutive monthly increases. This decline was led by a 20.5% decrease in imports of metal ores and concentrates, primarily lead and zinc ores and concentrates. Overall, volumes of metal ores and non-metallic minerals declined 18.0%.
An increase in volumes and prices pushed imports of energy products up 5.1% to $3.8 billion. Crude oil and crude bitumen was the main contributor to the gain, rising 7.4% to $2.6 billion.
Energy products leads decline in exports
Following four consecutive monthly increases, exports of energy products fell 6.9% to $8.0 billion in December as volumes fell 10.0%. Overall, the main contributor to the decline was crude oil and crude bitumen, followed by natural gas, and other energy products, primarily coal.
Exports of motor vehicles and parts decreased 6.8% to $5.6 billion, largely the result of lower volumes. Exports of passenger cars and light trucks, which fell 10.5% to $3.8 billion, accounted for the majority of the decrease.
Exports of metal ores and non-metallic minerals rose 26.3% to $1.7 billion. Leading the gain were exports of copper ores and concentrates, as well as potash, the result of higher volumes.
Metal and non-metallic mineral products increased 7.7% to $4.6 billion. Gains were widespread throughout the section. Exports of unwrought precious metals and precious metal alloys rose 15.3% to $1.5 billion on higher volumes.

The diagnosis and management of acute epididymitis in children not related to sexually transmitted infection in children: A retrospective review
Yuding Wang1, Zoe Baker1, Hannah Dillon1, Joan Ko1.
1Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, United States
Introduction: Epididymitis remains a common cause of acute testicular pain in children. Except for epididymitis caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs), management strategies remain inconsistent, with no clear guidelines. Herein, we sought to understand treatment patterns and related outcomes of children with non-STI-associated epididymitis seen by an academic pediatric urology practice.
Methods: A single-center, retrospective review was completed among all patients referred to a pediatric urology group with presumed diagnosis of non-STI-associated epididymitis/-orchitis from 2015–2020. Data on referring emergency department (ED) or family physician workup were reviewed. Logistic regression analyses and Pearson Chi-squared tests were used to assess associations between patient presentation, prescription of antibiotics (Abx), and epididymitis recurrence.
Results: A total of 127 patients with epididymitis were included; 70.1% were referred from a dedicated pediatric ED. Among all patients, 56.7% had a urinalysis (UA) as part of the initial workup, while 48.8% were prescribed Abx. Patients not referred from a dedicated pediatric ED were 2.7 times more likely to receive Abx for management of epididymitis (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2–5.9, p=0.01). Having a UA was not significantly associated with Abx, while having a positive UA was associated with Abx treatment (odds ratio 3.6, 95% CI 1.2–6.0, p=0.01) irrespective of culture results. Twelve patients had recurrent epididymitis, which was not associated with receipt of Abx (p=0.49).
Conclusions: While practice patterns vary, Abx are widely prescribed to children diagnosed with non-STI-associated epididymitis based on UA results, which has unknown utility for epididymitis diagnosis and management. Prospective data are needed to identify clear guidelines for managing pediatric epididymitis.

The global Narcolepsy Drugs market size was estimated to be US$ 4.1 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% between 2023 to 2032.
Narcolepsy is a lifelong sleep condition characterized by abrupt uncontrolled sleep episodes or attacks. This disorder harms many aspects of a patient's life and can cause severe problems. As per the Narcolepsy Network report, only 25% of those suffering from the disorder get diagnosed globally. Due to a lack of understanding among patients and healthcare professionals, this condition is quite difficult to identify.
Factors such as family history, age, and earlier neurological issues are all possible causes of this disease. In terms of age, occurrences mostly take place between the ages of 15 and 36. The part of the brain regulating the circadian cycle is expected to have some dysfunction however the exact causes are not known as of now.
Depression and anxiety are frequent in persons with narcolepsy, and whether these are symptoms because of the disorder or the outcome of impaired quality of life is not yet determined. Lower levels of hypocretin, a protein regulating the sleep-wake cycle are implicated in type 1 narcolepsy and cataplexy patients. Furthermore, factors like stress, toxic chemical abuse, brain damage, old age, and infection are also perceived as factors for narcolepsy disorder.
The market is primarily influenced by an older population in need of medical treatment, an increase in the prevalence of narcoleptic disorders, changing lifestyles, and an increase in stress levels, which leads to narcolepsy conditions. Furthermore, rising research efforts, higher healthcare expenditure, and the availability of improved medical infrastructure are projected to propel the narcolepsy therapeutics business in the approaching years.
The rising incidence of narcolepsy increased understanding of sleep disorders as a result of narcolepsy educational campaigns and awareness programs, and the expanding prevalence of favourable reimbursement are the biggest factors driving the expansion of the global narcolepsy drugs market.
Furthermore, increasing disposable incomes and greater government spending on health care, particularly in developed countries, are likely to benefit the worldwide narcolepsy medications market during the forecast period. The adverse effects of narcolepsy drugs, as well as the possibility of delay or misdiagnosis, are the key disadvantages that may limit narcolepsy drug market growth throughout the projection period.
Several local, national, and international institutions and organizations have taken the initiative to provide relevant information regarding available narcolepsy treatment options to promote understanding of sleep disorders and the presence of medicines linked with narcolepsy. Such an awareness program may enable narcolepsy drugs market growth prospects throughout the projection period.
Circadian delays, increased fluctuation in sleep-wake cycles, online working habits, and unhealthy lifestyles are creating an increase in the diagnosis of sleep disorders which is also causing a rise in the detection of narcolepsy symptoms. Such a large diagnosis will cause increased prescription of narcolepsy drugs and the subsequent growth of this market.
Because of the lower consumption of narcolepsy drugs during the Covid-19 pandemic, there was a significant reduction in the growth of the narcolepsy drugs market. The impact of Covid-19-related constraints on narcolepsy drugs and reduced idiopathic hypersomnia enabled increased sleep duration, relaxed work routine, and better circadian management for many individuals which decreased central hypersomnia symptoms in idiopathic hypersomnia patients.
This had an impact on the expansion of narcolepsy therapies, as the population's need for narcolepsy drugs decreased as a result of getting enough sleep during the pandemic. However, increased economic pressure and psychological stress post-pandemic are resulting in decreased mental well-being across the globe which may increase clinicians' preference for narcolepsy drugs in case of sleep disorders.
Lack of awareness about treatment and diagnosis options in numerous emerging and developing nations could limit growth throughout the global narcolepsy drugs industry in the upcoming years. Other significant impediments to the expansion of the global narcolepsy drugs market are the low stability and poor sustainability of such drugs when compared to other therapies.
On the other hand, the increased number of programs and activities launched by various organizations to raise awareness about this condition and the availability of acceptable treatment approaches may drive rapid expansion in the overall usage of narcolepsy drugs and products in the future years.
The global Narcolepsy drugs market may be divided into five major regions: Asia Pacific, North America, South America, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa. In the past few years, North America has kept the dominant position in the overall narcolepsy drugs market.
This remarkable market orientation of the North American region in the global narcolepsy therapeutics market can be due to a variety of factors, including an increase in the region's research and development activities aimed at furthering the awareness of narcolepsy to develop better treatments.
Other key factors driving growth in the global narcolepsy drugs market comprise different partnerships between commercial organizations and academic institutions in the area, as well as an increase in new product releases, mergers, and product approvals.
Arena Pharmaceutical, Inc., Address Pharmaceuticals, Bioprojet Pharma SRL, GrayMark Healthcare Inc., Novartis AG., Jazz Pharmaceuticals Plc., Ligand Pharmaceuticals Inc, Shire Plc, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., etc are some of the major players in the global narcolepsy drugs market.
By Disease Type
By Therapeutics Type
By Drug Type
By Development channels
By Geography
The narcolepsy drugs market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% between 2023 to 2032.
The covid-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of global narcolepsy drugs due to reduced demand for non-essential therapies and a reduction in the number of patients.
Arena Pharmaceutical, Inc., Addrenex Pharmaceuticals, Bioprojet Pharma SRL, GrayMark Healthcare Inc., Novartis AG., Jazz Pharmaceuticals Plc., Ligand Pharmaceuticals Inc, Shire Plc, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., etc are some of the major players in the global narcolepsy drugs market.
The narcolepsy drugs market size was estimated to be US$ 4.1 billion in 2021
Narcolepsy drugs are used for the treatment of hypersomnia symptoms like Daytime Extreme Sleepiness, Cataplexia, etc.
The rising incidence of narcolepsy increased understanding of sleep disorders as a result of narcolepsy educational campaigns and awareness programs, and the expanding prevalence of favourable reimbursement are the biggest factors driving the expansion of the global narcolepsy drugs market.

Will I ever find an incentive to keep paying my taxes every year?
Will I be rewarded in the afterlife for diligently paying my taxes, considering I have not reaped it's benefits yet?
As an employee who lives his life from one pay cheque to the next, I rejoice with the fresh set of energy that generates in the last few days of every month. Fortunately, I work for a private firm which follows a strict set salary cycle every month, compensating employees on a timely basis. The bank credit text message received every month, confirming my salary's transferred into my bank account, contains a figure that translates into an immeasurable emotional elation every time I see it in my inbox.
However, a significant portion of my salary gets chopped away in lieu of taxes before I can even smell the scent of my hard earned money. Being an optimist, I, like many professionals, look at the brighter side and consider this as a duty to my homeland. Not only that, I also willingly go through a double taxation exercise where, in addition to my income tax, I pay a bunch of other taxes at various junctures which include general sales tax, withholding tax, federal excise duty (FED), Sindh sales tax, wealth tax, property tax, motor vehicle tax, capital gain tax, capital value tax, airport tax and a long list of surcharges which are part of my monthly utility bills (and which many people like me overlook completely).
Our taxes every month help the country, its government and various welfare functions to operate seamlessly.
But is that really true for Pakistan?
Let's drop the optimism and look at the real deal.
For us, these taxes are the government's source of income which it extracts from the populace to benefit them in ways untold.
Do I pay taxes to get the basic necessities in life or does it go the other way? Just looking at a few examples from my daily life where results of my paid tax are evident – there is nothing but sheer remorse that awaits me.
In summers, access to non-stop electricity and running water is considered a luxury for even the affluent classes. In winters, hearing someone using a gas heater at home is an unreal thing. I have to buy generators or a UPS and its batteries to keep myself alive in the summers when there is no electricity. I have to buy water tanks/containers to hoard extra water at home while begging the tanker mafia to fill my ground tanks when, one fine day, the water decides to disappear from the taps (which persists for several days).
I have to buy LPG cylinders or pay its rent to ensure that my wife can cook food so that we may sustain ourselves during the bone chilling winters. I have to set the alarm for 3am in the cold winter nights so the family can wake up and cook food for the next day – all because the gas pressure is ideal at that ungodly hour. Interestingly, I have to pay more taxes to avail all the above facilities, as they are taxed heavily due to surging demands during peak seasons.
Moving on, I drive myself from and to office but I have to keep a mental map of all the menacing road pits, unwanted ditches and threatening road cracks which are waiting to devastate my car any day. Underestimating any of these ominous beings can result in misaligned wheels, body damage and parts breakdown for which I will have to go to a mechanic or showroom for service. The service charges will be accompanied by a new set of taxes applicable only to auto parts and services.
A basic right of any citizen is security to life and possessions. Since I know that the chances of getting mugged increase exponentially on any road denuded of street lights, I have to stay vigilant more than ever. Carrying extra phones, avoiding display of unnecessary accessories and ensuring there is extra cash in my wallet, are some of the measures that I need to take for servicing any mugger that comes my way. Most muggings go unreported as the police, who by the way are compensated by the taxes we pay, do not give two hoots about their foremost duty.
The beauty of the entire episode is that, after getting mugged, I end up at a mobile shop buying a new phone, along with a prepaid card to upload my balance, only to pay more taxes to the government that further increases its taxation on the Telecom industry, burdening it even more.
Recently, even accessing my own money has become a problem, considering it is automatically transferred into my bank account. If I approach an ATM to withdraw my own hard-earned money, I'm informed that if I exceed a certain amount, the rest cannot be drawn free of charge. The irony behind this is that if I cross the prescribed limit, I have to pay a tax for being overly extravagant. This law now applies to all forms of online/offline transactions, benefitting banks which now have the assurance of keeping deposits over a longer period of time.
As a predominantly young and convenience seeking nation, the growing trend of eating out is on the rise in Pakistan. This sector has experienced one of the highest growth rates over the past few years. Therefore, it's obvious that this too, is taxed in colossal proportions.
The bill that arrives at the end of a meal in a restaurant is conveniently inclusive of the 17 per cent general sales tax, penalising you for this gourmet venture. The smart restaurateurs never highlight this facet and those that do, do so through a small (read: unrecognisable) asterisk, immediately shocking us at the first sight of the bill. Social dictum of our society disables one from arguing on such matters in front of the family/friends who have been invited in the spirit of generosity.
The above are just a few examples that highlight the frustrations that a tax payer has to face even after fulfilling his/her duties. The middle class, the backbone of any economy, have to pay the highest price in this situation. With a limited salary and an uncontrolled economic environment, a salaried person has to fight many battles. Be it his depleting savings rate every month or the ever increasing inflationary pressure evident at the end of every grocery shopping venture; or getting battered by new taxes every budget year or getting mauled by government machinery incessantly on utilities – the worst is never over for us.
With a 180-200 million strong population with 3.6 million registered tax payers, I wonder if I will be rewarded in the afterlife for diligently paying my taxes now considering I have not reaped its benefits thus far. With millions of tax evaders getting lucrative incentives for declaring their hidden assets/real income, will I ever find an incentive to keep paying my taxes every year?

Here is your Chelsea morning digest on Monday, May 9.
Tuchel is lucky not to be sacked
Gabby Agbonlahor has claimed that Thomas Tuchel is lucky to have not been sacked from his position as head coach at Chelsea this season. The former Aston Villa striker and talkSPORT pundit suggested that German would've lost his job had the trials and tribulations of the Blues' takeover not stolen the headlines.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Agbonlahor said: "I think that Chelsea have underachieved this season. In any other season under Abramovich, Thomas Tuchel would have been sacked for this season's performance.
"When you look at the quality players that they've got and the squad of players that they've got; Ziyech, Havertz, Lukaku, Pulisic; they've got so many top, top players, and if Arsenal wins against Leeds, then they're just one point above Arsenal. Tuchel has been disappointing this season, and he's lucky to still be in the job, for me."

Leicester City and Liverpool join Blues in race for £40m defender
football.london understands that Torino's Gleison Bremer has been watched by Chelsea this season – and as an aggressive centre-back who has played on the left of a back three this term, the 25-year-old would likely be a replacement for Antonio Rudiger should an approach come to fruition.
However, according to The Sun, Leicester City and Liverpool have joined the Blues in the race to land the £40m-rated defender this summer. The report outlines that the Foxes met with Torino officials last week while in Italy for their Europa Conference League clash with Roma.

Tchouameni lifts the lid on future amid Chelsea interest
Chelsea transfer target Aurelien Tchouameni has sent Todd Boehly an update on his future ahead of the summer transfer window. The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
"I am contracted here until 2024 with the option until 2025. We'll see what the future has in store for me. The transfer window is always a period where lots of things can happen," said Tchouameni speaking after Monaco's win on Friday, as reported by the Daily Mirror. "Yeah, why not? The elimination last year stuck in my throat. Playing Champions League football with Monaco isn't something that would displease me."

Have you ever gazed at a product's Nutrition Facts label, confused and wondering…what does this all mean?
Perhaps you have noticed that nutrition facts labels on some products have taken on a new look. You see larger, bolder words, new information, and information that seems to be missing.
Changes to the Nutrition Facts label are on the horizon. The hope is that these changes will help you understand the label better, and help you make informed decisions about the foods you buy and eat.
The new law requires the following changes to the label by January 2020. This means you will see more and more of them over the next several months.
Five Key Changes to the Nutrition Facts Label (refer to the picture below)
1. Servings and serving size
The number of "servings per container" and "Serving Size" will appear in bigger and bold type. Serving sizes will reflect what people actually eat and drink today. For example, the serving size for ice cream was 1/2 cup and will change to 2/3 cup.
2. Calories
"Calories" is now big and bold, making it easier for you to see it at a glance.
3. Fats
"Calories from Fat" has been removed because research shows the type of fat consumed is more important than the amount.
4. Added Sugars
A very welcome change! With the current label, it is difficult to determine how much of the sugar in a product is natural and how much is added. And research shows that too much added sugar is associated with higher risk of chronic disease. "Added Sugars" in grams and percent Daily Value (%DV) will be required on the new label. In addition to sugar, this includes sweeteners like corn syrup, honey, agave nectar, maple syrup, and concentrated fruit juice.
5. Vitamins and Minerals
The vitamins and minerals that are required on the label have been updated to reflect what most Americans need to focus on. Vitamin D and potassium are now required because Americans do not often get the recommended amounts. Vitamins A and C are no longer required since deficiencies of these vitamins are rare today. In summary, Vitamin D, calcium, iron, and potassium must now be listed.

LONDON: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who was set to leave for Pakistan on Saturday, has extended his stay in London for one more day, ARY News reported on Sunday quoting sources.
After delaying his flight twice, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif will now depart for Islamabad from London airport at 6pm on Sunday.
During his stay in London, PM Shehbaz held several rounds of talks with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif during which key political issues came under discussion.
This is PM Shehbaz's third trip to London since he assumed the country's top office in April and comes ahead of the appointment of the new army chief.
Meanwhile, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif confirmed Friday that consultations were held on the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) appointment in the meeting between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif.
Reacting to the speculations in the media regarding the army chief's appointment, Asif confirmed that consultations were held on the COAS appointment, however, the decision was not taken yet.
Asif said that the decision for the COAS appointment will be taken after consultation under the constitutional process.
In October, PM Shehbaz Sharif had said he is ready for talks with the former premier and PTI chairman Imran Khan but ruled out a consultation on the appointment of the COAS.
