Welcome to the Michel Hidalgo International Football Academy !
The Academy welcomes players from all over the world, aged 14 to 22, who wish to experience a one-year cultural, linguistic and football immersion in France.
The goal is to prepare the young football players to enter professional football and to make trials in the pro clubs. The Academy is a perfect showcase for young talents.
The next programme starts from 30 August 2020 to 29 May 2021.

Since my kids are keeping me home sick with the flu, I have been slightly better about blogging this week. I apologize for the past 3 months, however, that I've been all but silent.
I've been just a little busy :)
What have I been doing?
A whole lot of picture taking....
And these aren't even all the sessions. There several clients who want their pictures to stay secret until after Christmas :)
I love my job :)

The following post contains a leetle bit about the movie Zathura: A Space Adventure. No big deal but nevertheless thought I will give a spoiler alert.
My fancy pal Mr Jim and I were watching Zathura (a space adventure movie) on TV and he was confused about the boy Walter's future self coming to them while they play. Jim consulted a genius to clear his doubts – me.
"Hey how did that happen?"
"It's easy Jim. You see thats what would have happened to the boy Walter had he wished for his little brother to have never been born. He gets stranded in space and there is no little brother to take the next turn.""
"But then how did it happen?"
"It doesn't. Cause Walter doesn't wish that so it kind of, err, it unhappens."
"I still don't get it."
"Yeah neither do I but this is how you've got to talk when someone asks you something. You don't say you don't know!"
Jim killed me.

In a video (6 min.) by YourLocalColorMovies Ryan Crowder and Nathan Jerkins talk about the production by
of its free outdoor show
|Robert Berry, Julie Linnard (photo: Kimberley Mead)
An entertainment: the amazing adventures of Louis de Rougemont (as told by himself)
by Donald Margulies
directed by Ryan Crowder
featuring Robert Berry, Nathan Jerkins and Julie Linnard
June 6 - 29, 2013
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.
at the Round Rock Amphitheater (301 W. Bagdad Ave, Round Rock TX 78664) (click for map)
Free admission, donations appreciated
More information available at www.penfoldtheatre.org
Written by the Pulitzer-winning playwright Donald Margulies and based on actual events, Shipwrecked! takes audience members of all ages on a high seas adventure populated by exotic islanders, giant sea turtles and a monstrous man-eating octopus. Louis' hair-raising tale – told by three actors and an explorer-sized helping of theatrical magic – challenges us to wonder how far we are willing to blur the line between fact and fiction in order to leave our mark on the world.
Shipwrecked! is the third production in the "Penfold in the Park" series, an annual offering of free, outdoor summer theatre, made possible by a partnership with the City of Round Rock Parks & Recreation Department. Previous productions included The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged (2010) and Servant of Two Masters (2011).

Vegetarian Shepherds Pie
In a vegetarian shepherds pie, the mince is replaced by lentils or beans. I have given both options as I know that length of cooking time is important, so lentils need to be simmered for 30 minutes at stage 3, whereas you can get away with 5 minutes with beans. This dish freezes well for up to 2 months. It is best defrosted before cooked, but you can cook from frozen. To cook from frozen, cover the dish with foil and cook for 1 hour – 1 hour 20 minutes at 160°C/325°F/gas mark 3. Uncover for the last 20 minutes and turn the temperature up to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6 so that it can crisp on the top.
Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time30 mins
Total Time45 mins
Servings: 4
- 950 g sweet potato organic, peeled and cut into 1cm chunks
- 25 g butter organic
- 6 tbsp milk organic
- 150 g mature cheddar cheese organic, grated
- 1 tbsp olive oil organic, fairtrade
- 2 red onions organic, peeled and diced
- 2 carrots organic, scrubbed and diced into 1cm cubes
- 1 garlic cloves organic, peeled and crushed
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme organic, leaves only, chopped
- 400 g tinned chopped tomatoes organic
- 200 ml vegetable stock (if using beans) organic
- 600 ml vegetable stock (if using lentils) organic
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash black pepper organic, fairtrade, freshly ground
- 400 g dried lentils organic OR beans
- 800 g tinned mixed beans organic
- 300 g peas organic or other green seasonal veg to serve
- Pre-heat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5
- Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil, add the potato and cook for around 10 minutes until soft. Drain, then add the butter, milk, most of the cheese and mash together. Set to one side.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the onions and carrots and gently cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and fry for a further 1 minute.
- Add the thyme, tinned tomatoes and stock. Stir together and season with salt and pepper.
- Bring to the boil, then add the lentils or beans, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes for the lentils, 5 minutes for the beans. Check the stock occasionally with the lentils and top up if necessary.
- Place the lentil/bean mixture in the bottom of an oven proof dish, spoon the mash evenly over the top. Sprinkle with the remainder of the cheese and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Bring the peas to the boil and serve together with the pie.
Not all eating together or in a hurry? This dish can be prepared in advance and kept in the fridge for up to 2 days. This dish can be frozen for 2 - 3 months

This condition is common in older women, but it can happen at any age.
Vaginal dryness occurs when the tissues of the vagina are not well lubricated and healthy.
It can occur at any age but is especially common in older women.
Vaginal dryness can cause pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse, which may affect your relationship with your partner.
The condition can also lead to bacterial or yeast infections.
Symptoms of vaginal dryness may include:
A number of factors may contribute to vaginal dryness, including:
Low estrogen Vaginal dryness is most often caused by a decrease in estrogen levels. Estrogen is a hormone that helps keep the tissues of your vagina lubricated and healthy.
Many factors can cause a drop in estrogen levels, such as:
Douching and other irritants Certain soaps, lotions, perfumes, and douches can disrupt the natural balance of chemicals in your vagina, leading to dryness.
Other medicines Allergy, cold, and asthma medicines that contain antihistamines can have a drying effect on the body and contribute to reduced vaginal lubrication.
Certain antidepressants may also lead to a reduction in vaginal secretions.
Anxiety Stress and anxiety can affect sexual desire and may lead to vaginal dryness.
Sjogren's syndrome This rare autoimmune disease can cause dryness in the eyes, mouth, and vagina.
Low sexual desire A low libido or other sexual problems may give way to dryness, and conversely, the dryness may worsen libido.
If you have vaginal dryness, your doctor can perform a pelvic exam to determine whether the walls of your vagina are thin, pale, or red.
You may also undergo testing of your hormone levels to see if you're going through menopause.
Your doctor may also test your vaginal discharge to check for other causes of dryness.
Visit your doctor if you have symptoms of vaginal dryness that are severe or don't go away.
Treatments for vaginal dryness vary depending on the cause of your condition. Treatment options include:
Lubricants and creams These products can help moisten the vaginal area for several hours or up to a day.
You can use a water-soluble vaginal lubricant during intercourse to help with dryness.
Estrogen Topical estrogen can alleviate symptoms of vaginal dryness. It's available as a tablet, cream, suppository, or ring that's placed directly into the vagina.
Be sure to talk to your doctor before using any type of alternative treatment for vaginal dryness. You'll need to discuss the risks and benefits of the therapy.
Some common alternative therapies for vaginal dryness include:
Soybeans Soy contains substances called isoflavones, which may work like estrogen in the body.
Some women consume foods rich in soy (such as whole soybeans, tofu, and soy milk) to improve symptoms of vaginal dryness.
Note that research on the effects of soy in this area is still ongoing.
Wild yam Some women claim that using creams containing wild yam can help with vaginal dryness.
Still, there's not enough scientific evidence to show that these products are effective.
Black cohosh This herb is commonly taken as a dietary supplement to relieve menopausal symptoms.
Some women also take black cohosh to help relieve vaginal dryness, but studies have not yet proven this to be effective.

Hip dysplasia is when the ball and socket joint of the hip is abnormally
shaped, causing it to dislocate more easily. This creates long-term wear
on the cartilage in the hip joint. However, hip preservation surgery allows
patients to maintain their hip's health before the cartilage wears out.
Hip preservation surgery realigns the hip to allow it to move normally
in the socket. The International Hip Dysplasia Institute compares hip
preservation to "realigning the tires of a car"—by realigning,
you prevent wear on the "treads" of your hip joint, in this
case the cartilage.

MADRID — Athletic Bilbao says it has extended the contract of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga until June 2025, ending speculation about his move to Real Madrid.
The 23-year-old Kepa admitted he had offers to leave Athletic, but decided to stay at the club he considers his "home."
Madrid reportedly wanted to sign Kepa but negotiations did not advance in recent weeks.
Kepa thanked Athletic for "respecting me for taking my time" during long negotiations for the new deal.
Athletic said Monday that Kepa's contract has a buyout clause of 80 million euros ($97.8 million).
Kepa played through Athletic's youth system and was with Spain's youth squads. His first stint with Spain's senior team came last year.

Bye bye Boulerice
Today the Flyers waived suspended forward Jesse Boulerice. This could very well mark the end of his NHL career.
By sending him down to the Phantoms (and he'll surely clear waivers), Philadelphia has no intention of letting Boulerice serve his suspension in a Flyers sweater. The move takes his salary off the cap books and frees up a spot on their 23-man roster.
With 24 games left to go on his ban and pointless since the lockout, it's doubtful another NHL team will take a chance on him.
It's yet to be seen how much of Boulerice's suspension the AHL will uphold.
Update: The AHL ruled Boulerice ineligibe to play until Dec. 16.

Once bound to the P-gp efflux pump, dofequidar is transported out of transformed cells by a mechanism similar to that used by cytotoxic drugs, thereby blocking the efflux of these compounds from the cell. Inhibition of the efflux pump by this agent leads to a retention of the cytotoxic drug resulting in increased intracellular drug concentrations, thereby enhancing cytotoxicity. Dofequidar has demonstrated reversal of the MDR phenotype in those cells exposed to various chemotherapeutic agents, such as vinca alkaloids and anthracyclines.

From Facebook:
Time for another one of these.
Write down the first 25 random songs that come up on your MP3 player, iPod etc. I used Last.fm set to My Library station.
No cheating!
No editing!
I thought I'd give it a go, using Last.fm, just to see what would happen. I found it interesting because it was forcing me to listen to things that I hadn't heard in a while or given a particularly fair listen, and playing things out of the context of how I usually hear them. There's some good songs here …
1. Foetus – Verklemmt
Bit of a no-brainer for me, considering how much I've been listening to this lately. I find the video hard-going (made by Alex Winter from Bill & Ted, it's got literally thousands of cuts), but it's a great song from the album GASH.
2. The Kinks – Dead End Street
Ah, I never tire of this song. I used to play it a lot when I was unemployed and starving-broke, living in a miserable bedsit in one of the rougher parts of South London.
3. Steroid Maximus – Chaiste
JG Thirlwell is the Da Vinci of music – he can do anything and do it well. This is catchy spy noir funk with lush strings and vibrant brass. It's as joyful and light as Verklemmt is angry and dark.
4. Aylim Aslim – Gelinlik Sarhoslugu
This is one of Gulyabani's weaker tracks, sounding like one of the Sugarcubes' more dubious moments, but represents some of the diversity on the Turkish popster's second album.
5. Depeche Mode – Policy of Truth
This is either from the copy of Violator I nicked off Him Indoors's bandmate Graham, or from the greatest hits album I bought. It's one of my preferred songs by Depeche Mode – not as good as anything from Ultra, but definitely something I can enjoy.
6. Front Line Assembly – Angriff
This must belong to Him Indoors, because it's not one of mine. He was always the Frontline fan; I was more a Puppy person, though we each bought records by both bands. The song's OK – Rammstein-lite as HI puts it. It's catchy, but hardly progressive.
7. The Cure – Lullaby
This is just a simply wonderful song. It's hauntingly memorable with a great tune and deeply unsettling lyrics. I used to consider Robert Smith my style icon. Note to 16 year-old self: he looks ridiculous, and so do you.
8. Gwen Stefani – Early Winter
The most intriguing thing about this song is that it's co-written by Tim Rice-Oxley from Keane, which just goes to show that insipid, sappy ballads by indie bands sound pretty good when sung by quirky pop singers. Stefani had called him up because she wanted something like Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time, and this has the same kind of appeal. I think it's a great song, but stopped listening to it out of superstition when the weather turned unseasonably cold after I first heard it.
9. System of a Down – Bubbles
SOAD are a band that I always felt I should like a lot more because I like the sort of bands that sound like they do, but I tend not to connect with their music on an emotional level. This is one of about two of their songs that I do like, but I'm still left feeling a little cold and indifferent towards it, even as I admire the sort of sound they're making.
10. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps
I think everyone's seen that video by now, of Karen O weeping Sinead O'Connor style. It's quite affecting and the song is good in a Pretenders-meets-PJ-Harvey way.
11. Pigface – Hagseed
Pigface were always more about the idea than the song, and more about the personnel than the music. This song's not terrible, but I can't remember how it went even after hearing it.
12. Pig – Prayer Praise & Profit
This was, for me, the turning point in my Pig fandom, because it represents when Raymond stopped progressing musically and just started copying his own sound. Pig's early stuff sounded like Foetus (which was great) or like KMFDM (which was also great), and the slightly later stuff sounded like Metallica with electronics, and there was nowt wrong with that either. Genuine American Monster is Pig trying to sound like Pig, and that's self-parody.
13. Kelis – Milkshake
The bass on this song is just incredible – you recognise it from the first couple of bars and it's as distinctive and unforgettable an intro as Dancing In The Streets. Of course, it's nowhere near as brilliant as Martha Reeves' classic, but it is still a very good song in spite of its silly lyrics and sillier video. The melody twists and turns, and Kelis's husky voice gives it an extra kick that lifts it miles above practically the whole of early-noughties R&B.
14. Nine Inch Nails – Demon Seed
I never quite understood why NIN released a pisspoor album for money and then gave away a comparatively strong album for free, but The Slip was their best album since The Fragile. It was still pretty weak by early-NIN standards, again a sort of self-parody – NIN sounding like NIN, rather than the intriguing Bowie-meets-Skinny Puppy blend of their early material. This song is one of my favourite tracks from The Slip, but it wouldn't even have made a b-side on anything from The Downward Spiral.
15. Foetus – Not In Yr Hands
This is one of the most perverse songs that Foetus has ever done. No, I don't mean in terms of something rude like Butter or Hot Horse, but because the song is so sweet and melodious that if he'd have released it as a single and got the right backing behind it, it could have ended up as some huge hit. That would have inevitably been followed by people seeking out the rest of his 30-year back catalogue, after which they'd be standing there whey-faced and trembling, muttering "the man's sick" and having nightmares for weeks.
16. Primal Scream – Slip Inside This House
A stand-out track from a stand-out album. This is a psychedelic house music cover of a 13th Floor Elevators song.
17. Kelly Clarkson – Gone
Youtube user SupaSpaceMonkeyMafia asks "Is it a sin for a power metal fan to be? listening to this?"
No, Supa, it's not. It's a satisfyingly well-written, intricately-arranged light rock song with a great vocal delivery. Kelly Clarkson is like Avril Lavigne before her and, latterly, Taylor Momsen – not quite good enough to make me think about them very much but just good enough for me to root for them. It's too interesting to really be bland, but too bland to be truly interesting: the verses and bridge are superb but the chorus is a let-down. If all talent show winners made music of this standard, the charts might be worth listening to.
18. Lady Gaga – LoveGame
Apparently she actually said that to someone once.
19. Madonna – Nothing Really Matters
Ah, when Madonna had class. One of my all-time favourite Madonna songs: it's just a very, very good track with a striking video. I love the strings on this, and that lovely Bowie-inspired piano break in the middle. I think the only reason the track is not more well-regarded is because Madonna sang it – if Massive Attack had released it, everyone would be all over it.
20. Stone Sour – Get Inside
Other than a lack of masks, what marks this out from Corey Taylor's other band (Slipknot) is the gorgeous close-part harmonies. It's pretty tight and solid, but lacks Slipknot's musical ambition.
21. Slipknot – Vermillion
And this is why I love Slipknot. This song captures the ferocity and beauty and downright intensity of the band at their best. It shifts and twists as much as Radiohead's Paranoid Android, but moves with more subtlety and cohesion. It dances its dark waltz while making you feel as though you're being crushed by the sheer weight of the music, and at the same time moved by its poignancy and desperation.
22. The Stooges – I Wanna Be Your Dog
Needs no introduction. An abridged clip, but you know how it goes.
23. Robbie Williams – Bodies
Long before the anti-X Factor campaigns, I made my own silent protest against the rubbish in the charts. It was simple: if I heard a good single, I bought it, and if I didn't like something, I didn't. This is not a great record by any stretch, and the chorus is fairly bland, but I figured I had a choice. Williams is frustrating: some of what he does is very, very good and a lot of it is utter toss. I thought that if this – his big comeback single – tanked, then he'd just go back to releasing awful sappy ballads. I wanted to encourage risks like this, which is definitely on the unusual side. Well, bad lyrics aside, it sounds like a Tears for Fears single, which is fine because I always quite liked Tears for Fears. I always hated Take That, and it seems I lost my 79p gamble, since he rejoined that insipid boy band shortly after this.
24. Ministry – The Dick Song
Al Jourgensen is not such a fan of Dick Cheney.
25. Rihanna – Shut Up and Drive
This is an unremarkably enjoyable song on an album full of catchy pop tracks.

I am a complete ninny. I have been enjoying myself so much in the kitchen that I have let time escape me. Did you know that Christmas Eve is in four days!! I knew it was soon but WOW! I know, I know… I am a big dork. I had this nice easy Sunday planned lazying around the house working on recipes, watching movies and wrapping presents. Oh… wait a minute, you need presents in order to wrap. Duh!
I had spent last night getting the first part of a recipe worked on. Now it will just have to wait until this evening. I am going to be spending my day stuck amid crazed, desperate, shoppers. No lounging in my pj's' today 😦 I will be dashing through the crowds, looking for those last minute gifts that I let slide. I am so not TICKLED for once.
The moral of this post is "Don't wait, get er done". If you are like me, and left your brain somewhere other than in your skull this week, I will see you out there. If you were smart and have your Christmas all bought, wrapped beautifully under your tree, and are sitting back sipping your coffee in your pj's reading this… thumbs up, high five to you. You get the Christmas Good Girl/Guy award.
I am off to go shopping. I will be posting that half finished dessert recipe later on tonight…it will be finished of course. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

(Maymester) A comprehensive study of the origin and development of the major structural features of the ocean basins and the continental margins. Discussion of the techniques used in obtaining geologic data and the interpretation of sedimentary processes, vulcanism, and the stratigraphy of the ocean basins. Considering the active tectonics in Greece, we could make the geology of Eastern Mediterranean a key teaching component of this course. We can coordinate visits to the Institute of Oceanography and Marine Research in Greece, field excursions nearby in the volcanics of Methana, the active fault system in Mycenae. This course should attract several from the 300+ Marine Science and Geological Sciences majors, but others as well.

Reality Check Called Twitter
Posted by: IRFAN on: June 5, 2012
We live in stranger times. Socializing on the social networking sites has sadly become all about poking fun at politicians, leaders, film-actors, cricketers, journalists and certain communities.
There's a parallel universe called Twitter. The inhabitants of this universe are fondly known as tweeple or tweeps. What do these tweeps do? Most of the times they express their ideas on the current affairs. For example:-
- Narendra Modi should be the next prime minister of India.
- MMS is taking the country back to the stone age.
- Team Anna is misguided and its intentions are not noble.
- Satyameva Jayate is a money making exercise for the actor-turned-crusader Aamir Khan.
- Shah Rukh Khan is a drug addict who has got an attitude problem.
- Jr. Mallya is a rich brat with shaky morals who has no right to lecture how the future wives should behave.
- Sachin Tendulkar should not become the Rajya Sabha MP under this corrupt government.
The list is endless. Hankering after the number of followers, Re-tweets and celebrity bashing are the main objectives. Everyday some or other famous personality becomes the butt of ridicule and victim of endless silly jokes lampooning him or her.
What does all this mean? What do these tweeps gain? Except a few new followers, Re-tweets and ego satisfaction there's hardly anything else that they may gain.
The more intriguing aspect of this parallel universe is almost every famous person is a villain. It is as if we forget the fact that in the first place it is we the people who have made that person famous. Then why should we have any ill-will feelings towards that famous person aka celebrity?
Today Twitter verified Sagarika Ghose's account and the entire twitterverse rose up in arms against her. Soon all kinds of jokes lampooning poor Sagarika began to do the rounds on twitter.
What happens when Twitter verifies your account? It is a sign of the fact that you've arrived on Twitter. The symbol that one's Twitter account is verified is something akin to the MP's car with a red beacon atop. It signifies that you are a VIP on Twitter, and nothing else.
Sagarika Ghose is one of the high profile journalists with quite a good number of followers on Twitter. If Twitter has deemed it fit to verify her account and bless it with that prestigious symbol of verified next to her name on her Twitter page, what's the big deal?
What will happen when the favourite whipping boy of Twitter Kamaal R Khan's account gets verified? Will the humour cross all the limits? How will tweeps deal with the not-so-politically-correct tweets emanating from the verified account of Kamaal R Khan?
One also shudders at the thought what will happen when Narendra Modi becomes the prime minister of India? How will the Modi brigade celebrate that occasion on Twitter? Maybe by blocking every anti-Modi tweeple?
There's a clear cut divide along the caste and religion lines in the country. Some people object to the very term 'secular' which according to them has come to mean the appeasement of minorities. There are many people who don't like Muslims.
In this age of social media what is scarier is the fact that now people are spiting venom against Muslims openly. Nobody can see their faces since they're tweeting from the safe cocoons of their houses and therefore they don't mind expressing their hatred against Muslims without any reservations.
Is so much freedom of expression vis-a-vis Twitter or Facebook a bane or a boon? Another recent example that comes to mind is a tweet from someone whom I've come to hugely admire and respect on Twitter.
Mr. Kanchan Gupta is a well-known media personality and when he tweeted, "Mumbaikars: How tough is it for Muslims to find flats? True or part of fake victimhood narrative?" He was referring to an article published in The Hindu dated 03/06/2012. This tweet drew a sharp response from Mrs. Atiya Zaidi and soon there were heated arguments between the two idols whose tweets I immensely enjoy.
The Twitter is a perfect barometer to know which way the wind is blowing. It's depressing to know that the Muslims are disliked so much and even more depressing is to know that nowadays people are expressing it on public forums. Why and how has the gulf between the two communities become so wide all of a sudden?
When the members of intelligentsia become so vocal about their dislike of a particular community, what hopes or expectations can one have from the common men? Twitter opens our eyes to a scary reality if not addressed properly on time, nobody can complain that there were no warning signals.
May the peace prevail forever. Amen.
Lalit Modi For President?

This is the time when everybody wants to prop up his or her candidate for the post of the President of India. Although this is not the most powerful post in the Indian polity, every political party wants to install their man at the helm so that when the time comes, he can return the favour.
Many out-of-work politicians throw their hats in the ring. Before they fade into the oblivion, they want to try their luck at the shot of immortality that the post of the Prez tends to offer. Having said that there are many politicians who would like to have a young President this time around who is not necessarily from the political background. The J&K CM tweeted earlier in the day to convey this message.
Now if this were to really happen, who fits the bill? India is a young country, and; the young generation would love to have a young President if given a chance. The President should be someone who is always in the news for the bold decision he takes and thereby controversies that he generates. At any given point of time half a dozen OB vans belonging to various media houses ought to be stationed outside the official residence of the Prez awaiting breaking news or some juicy stories.
Who can call a spade a spade and cope up with the pulls and pressures that are such an integral part of the life after occupying the chair of the President? Well, there is only one brave heart who can set a new precedent by becoming the President of India. That person is none other than Mr. Lalit Modi.
Mr. Lalit Modi needs no introduction. The whole world knows him. The politicians cutting across the party lines swear by his popularity. He has forever changed the face of cricket by launching the IPL and introducing the concept of franchising into the much loved sport of this country. Who can forget the initial shock waves generated by the auction of big cricketers?
If he becomes the President of India, the first thing he will do is introduce the same concept of franchising into the politics as well. Unlike IPL, this political franchises will have state wise teams. This means the number of Indian states will equal the number of political teams. Each team will be known by the name of the state it represents and not by the name the respective franchise owners choose for their respective teams.Each team will comprise of twenty five politicians from the state the team comes. International politicians will not be allowed to be a part of any team.
Imagine the high profile politicians owned by the Tatas, Birlas, Ambanis, Khans, Adanis and Mittals of this country. Their job will be to legislate maximum laws favouring their masters. If any politicians fail to do so, his owner has every right to discard him or her before the next general elections that take place every five years.
The official residence of the President boasts of a palatial bungalow that never sees much partying or flurry of guests. But with Mr. Lalit Modi at the helm the bungalow will see as many parties as possible. After the grueling day at the Parliament he would love to relax amidst young and bubbly cheerleaders from across the country. All the franchise owners too will gather there and have a good time by socialising with one another over free flow of liquor with the liquor baron Mr. Vijay Mallya promising to provide unlimited supply of all his famous brands of whiskey and beer.
All his detractors will flee the country and live in exile when he becomes the President. But Mr. Lalit Modi won't indulge in any kind of political vendetta. On the other hand, he will pursue them to return to the country by rolling a red carpet upon their arrival. Mr. Modi is a kind soul who wants every human being on earth to prosper and enjoy. This is precisely why he gifted IPL to his countrymen by bringing together players, coaches and commentators from across the world.
Similarly he will bring together the politicians of all hues and cries by promising them mega bucks from their respective owners. This will foster a lot of healthy competition amongst the politicians as their prices and selection will depend purely on their performances, and not on any kind of muscle power. The party high command culture will make way for the board-room kind of culture as "shape-up-or-ship-out" will be the only motto that will come to determine the worth and usefulness of any politician worth his salt.
Finally the biggest advantage or disadvantage (depending upon the way you look at it) of Mr. Lalit Modi becoming the President of India will be that Narendra Modi will have to wait few more years to stake his claim to become the prime minister since two Modis at the helm will send out wrong signals and their common last names will create a lot of confusion amongst the visiting foreign dignitaries.
This means one Modi's gain is another Modi's loss. But all said and done Mr. Lalit Modi is the one man who can bring much needed glamour to the post of the President of India which it lacks as of now.
Brahmin, Mamata Banerjee And What Else…?

Poor Shah Rukh Khan gets detained in the US airport and back home our publicity hungry politicians get their knickers in a twist. Whenever this happens, there is this huge media uproar that follows. The kind of prime time this story grabs in the media is an eyesore to these media savvy politicians who think it's their birthright to be "live" on every news channels simultaneously especially during the prime time.
This is why Rahul Gandhi borrowed Shah Rukh Khan's epic line "My Name Is Khan and I am not a terrorist" to grab some eye balls for himself. This time he didn't consult his script writer and went hammer and tongue with the line "My name is Rahul Gandhi and I am a Brahmin" daring his detractors to oppose him. Sure enough the main opposition party of India took the bait and added fuel to the fire by trying to take potshots at this Brahmin remark of the young(?) scion of the ruling party. As soon as that happened, Rahul Gandhi began to smile to himself for luring the enemy to fall into the pit dug exclusively for them.
While the Brahmin controversy was brewing, Mamata Banerjee did her bit to take her revenge on the US authorities for having detained the Poschim Bongla Brand Ambassador Shah Rukh Khan. She did so in style. She had a cartoonist arrest for mocking at her. It was surely a case of mistaken identity. She thought the cartoonist was the cousin of the immigrant officer from the US who had detained Shah Rukh Khan. Didi was certainly looking forward to killing two birds with one stone. But the media would have none of it and insisted on reporting the arrest of the cartoonist purely on the basis of poor professor having shown disrespect to Didi in his cartoons.
Right from Shah Rukh Khan to Rahul Gandhi to Mamata Banerjee to the cartoonist received their fair share of publicity. Nobody is complaining at the way these publicity stunts turned out to be. Shah Rukh Khan keeps saying that the police of twelve countries have been on a look-out for him. Therefore, it was natural for him to get detained at the USA Airport. The students of Yale University where he was due to give a speech can certainly wait for the King Khan to appear albeit a few hours late.
Rahul Gandhi's charisma has gone to Karishma Kapoor for brushing up. It will only come back to him before the general elections of 2014. Till such time poor scion is left with whatever famous lines from legends his mother has written in a note-book and handed him over to learn by heart. He can make a few situational changes in those lines to manufacture a controversy as this is the only way media is going to take note of him.
Mamata Banerjee has been talking about a change for quite some time. Now the people of her state has realised what change she has been talking about. There's nobody who can say anything slightly displeasing to Didi and get away. The law will soon catch up. Not only the police will arrest the offenders but Didi's personal army of supporters will also rough up the offenders before the police whisk away the culprits. Keeping all these things in mind some writers and filmmakers have got busy making an epic that depicts Didi as the empress of Asia so that no harm can come their way in case she were to become the PM or the President.
Shah Rukh Khan doesn't need any controversy to become the bigger star than he already is. It is quite unfortunate that people manufacture controversies using the King Khan's name for their own personal gains. Last heard, SRK was contemplating applying for the patent law on controversies that are going to be generated using his own name. He and he alone will have exclusive rights on all those controversies in which the name Shah Rukh Khan appears.
The only solution to avoid publicity hungry film actors and politicians is to stay away from all this by watching IPL5 that lacks any excitement with all geriatric players participating in it. Since people take vicarious pleasure in manufacturing controversies and cracking jokes on the so-called successful people, the most sensible thing to do is forget all these controversies because we can never know which new controversy is going to pop up after every one hour.
The Secret Diary Of Yuvraj Singh
Posted by: IRFAN on: April 11, 2012
- In: Cancer | Ethics | Humour | News Satire | Satire | Social Responsibilites | Sports
- Leave a Comment
I am glad that I received a hero's welcome after returning home from abroad. Past few months have been extremely daunting for me in terms of my battle against cancer. I've proven that I am the toughest cricketer around. Following the news of me having diagnosed with cancer a kind of strong sympathy wave has swept across the country.
There are times when I cannot help wondering whether I have overtaken Sachin Paaji in terms of popularity. It makes a beautiful story, doesn't it? A young and dashing cricketer in the prime of his career suffering from a rare germ cancer between his lungs, supported by his single mother with the whole country praying for his well-being when he leaves abroad for the treatment.
Let me reveal one more secret since it is a secret diary and nobody is supposed to read it. The credit for whipping up this incredible sympathy wave goes to my PR machinery that came out with the elaborate strategy of bombarding my fans and the media with the latest updates and details of my recently concluded treatment. The idea to tweet pictures of my shaven head while undergoing chemotherapy struck a right chord and then there was no looking back.
Not only the whole strategy has helped me remain in the news throughout but it has also killed two birds with one stone. All my detractors had to pretend that they were my well-wishers and they began to air get-well-soon messages right, left and centre through media and social networking sites which resulted in massive publicity for my rare condition. Another advantage was by revealing this secret I checkmated BCCI cunningly.
Well, I should never bite the hands that feed but this is my secret diary and nobody has access to it so let me pour my heart out. I am having a last laugh at BCCI's expense and here's how I outsmarted those big boys up there. I learnt a lot from Sachin Paaji's tennis elbow. When the poor Sachin Paaji took a break to recover from his tennis elbow, he remained incommunicado throughout. That allowed the BCCI to spin the yarn it pleased to fool the public and misguide the media. Sachin Paaji too shy to confront the Big Boss remained oblivious to all those under-hand techniques.
But I am Yuvraj Singh. I believe in taking the fight to the enemy camp. To me the best form of defense is to attack. I was riding high on the massive hysteria that had followed our World Cup Victory in which I had a major role to play. So why not make hay while the sun is shining? When I am fit to play again after a couple of months, my popularity will be all time high. The selectors and the captain won't have any other option except to include me in the playing eleven.
The fans too will be delighted to see me back in the action. That way I have ensured my place in the playing eleven for next one decade. One more important thing is I have done a great service to cancer by making it the prime time discussion topic on the television channels. Suddenly cancer is in the limelight. What Sachin Paaji couldn't do for the poor tennis elbow I have done for the deadly cancer. People suffering from cancer will look at my smiling face and say, "If Yuvraj Singh can win the battle against cancer, why can't we?"
I am a great guy and nobody can beat me. I am sure Deepika Padukone too is ruing her decision to dump me. What a super publicity she would have got! Imagine the pictures of this lass leaning on my shoulders while I'm undergoing the chemotherapy. It would have provided the much-needed boost to her almost defunct career by now. The producers would have chased this tigress big time to cast her opposite any big hero of the day. She would have given Katrina Kaifs and Priyanka Chopras run for their money. What a loser she has turned out to be! I've been really feeling sorry for her.
Do you know what else? I am on cloud nine with the big publishers making a beeline outside my house to sign me for a tell-all autobiography for a whopping undisclosed sum of money with which I can buy a house bigger than Mukesh Bhai Ambani's Antilia. Oh my god, life has never been so good. I never knew cancer would bring me so much luck and adulation.
My countrymen are the real suckers for the motherly love and a hero with some Greek tragedy up his sleeve. I am loving all my fans out there. Without whose love this epic tale of my battle against cancer and the eventual victory would never have been possible.
I must sleep for now. Haven't the doctors advised early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise?
The Cries Of Baby Afreen
Posted by: IRFAN on: April 11, 2012
What kind of a father Umar Farooq is who tortured his three-month-old baby girl Afreen to death! What kind of a traumatic experience the mother Reshma must be going through! The more one thinks about the cruel fate Baby Afreen met this morning in Bangalore's Vani Vilas (Victoria) Hospital, the more gruesome the whole incident appears.
We have our fair share of incidents where unwanted newborn baby girls are dumped in the trash bins right outside the hospitals. Such incidents keep happening with amazing regularity. But now the frustrated fathers are turning more violent. Either they want to kill the wives who give birth to the female children in the first place or they want to do away with the innocent toddlers.
There are many campaigns afoot to create awareness about the importance of a girl child. Even the state governments come out with the innovative schemes for the education of girls in their respective states. When we look at the representatives of the print or visual media, most of the high profile journalists or news anchors happen to be women. Moreover, the modern work places do not discriminate between the sexes when it comes to giving opportunities for the further growth.
Therefore, the point that comes to mind is no longer parenting a girl child is as burdensome as it used to be in the good old days. A girl can complete her higher studies and join any respectable profession of her liking. She can earn more than her father and make her parents proud of her achievements. There are countless examples to justify this claim. Then why do incidents like Baby Afreen happen?
The news of Baby Afreen succumbing to the injuries inflicted allegedly by her own father has sent shock waves across the country. Some people are calling for the harshest punishment for the culprit so as to prevent the future Baby Afreens. The father Umar Farooq who sadly doesn't know the meaning of what a father is or should be is under police custody. The law will take its own course. If proven guilty, he will have to undergo the punishment the law of the land decides to hand out to him.
But the fact remains that one more newly-born innocent has bid adieu to the world for no fault of her own. It is her death that is making the headlines is something that can only get as bizarre as this. The hard-hitting irony is the picture of Baby Afreen's dead body lying in the hospital bed with the tubes attached will continue to haunt any parent for the long time to come. Will her father Umar Farooq ever realise what a disgraceful and heinous act he has committed?
It will feel a little less painful if the father confesses to his sins and decides to atone for them by doing something really meaningful for the young children. Let's pray somebody shows him the picture of the innocent Baby Afreen lying still in the hospital bed, for that is sure to break his heart into pieces and force tears out of his eyes.
Rest in peace Baby Afreen.
Long Live Suhel Seth-Vijay Mallya
Posted by: IRFAN on: April 2, 2012
Vijay Mallya must be a relieved man. Employees of Kingfisher Airlines must be more relieved than Mallya. Poor Vijay Mallya has been going through tough times of late following Deepika Padukone's unceremonious dumping of Sidharth Mallya a few months back. More than the jilted lover his father suffered a blow and poor employees of Kingfisher Airlines had to pay the price.
So many jokes have been doing the round about the beleaguered Mallya and his almost defunct airlines. Sometimes Mallya himself adds fuel to the fire by blaming his woes on the malice of paid news. The king of good times has been at the receiving end. This is why perhaps he chose to settle the issue of pending salaries of the employees of Kingfisher Airlines on the eve of the fifth season of much-awaited IPL.
Perhaps Vijay Mallya is aware that his beer guzzling images with arm candies leaning on his side while he is watching his team play at various venues across the country is bound to provide gist to the rumour mills. All sorts of allegations are sure to fly thick and fast. He will come under increasing media scrutiny and become the butt of ridicule on various social networking sites. To avoid all this he has done the most sensible thing by declaring his plan to pay off the salaries in two phases.
Whether the harried employees receive the promised pending salaries or not remains to be soon. But at the moment guns have fallen silent and the focus is slowly shifting on to the IPL 5 and Vijay Mallya owned Royal Challengers.
We are an entertainment loving nation. We get a kick out of poking fun at famous and successful people. It's not that we don't like successful people or we are jealous of their popularity. When someone who is larger than life errs or does something that he or she is not supposed to do, all knives come out baying for his or her blood.
Nobody can replace Suhel Sheth when it comes to taking pot shots at politicians or anything under the sun for that matter on the television. He is a fearless orator who believes in calling a spade a spade. There are very few courageous speakers like him. This is why every channel loves to have him on their show. He brings to the table that power packed punch required to add to the oomph factor in the debates that take place in the television studios.
Suhel Seth is a delight to watch when he is in his elements. There's no stopping him when he starts speaking. His famous catch phrase includes, "Iss hamam mein sub nange hai" that brings smile to the lips of viewers, anchors and participants alike. But then there are his detractors who want Suhel Seth out of their ear shots. He doesn't spare anyone when it comes to standing up and taking the stand. Therefore, it is natural for such a person to have enemies.
We may not like what Suhel Seth does or says on television. We may not agree with him all the time. We may not like Vijay Mallya's flamboyancy and the reports of such a rich man not paying his employees' salaries on time may be disturbing to us. But why do we have to poke fun at them? They are mortar beings with their flaws. Can't we take a look at their achievements and give them the benefits of doubts for a while before jumping to the conclusions?
All these big people are made up of different stuff. When the going gets tough, the tough get going is the mantra they believe in. Both Suhel Seth and Vijay Mallya may be in their early fifties. What makes them easy targets of people's ire is their swashbuckling life styles not withstanding their respective ages. But when you have scaled those high peaks of dizzying heights, do you really care enough?
Whether people shower their adulation on Vijay Mallya and Suhel Seth or make fun of their accents, hair styles and the way they dress up not to mention things they say in public, they will keep bouncing back. Whether we love them or hate them, we cannot ignore them. That's Vijay Mallya and Suhel Seth for you. The show must go on.

What a dance of democracy! Nobody can match our politicians when it comes to entertainment. Even the supposed blockbuster Agent Vinod bombed on the box-office Kareena Kapoor's mujra not withstanding. There are times when our films and film stars have failed to provide us any real entertainment. But these politicians know the importance of entertainment. And this is precisely why they, time and again, step into the shoes of film folks and serve us tasty dishes of entertainment till we cry out, "Enough now."
How else can you explain Sharad Yadav's outburst against Team Anna for abusing the MPs and the temple of democracy? Our rulers are above everything. The subjects have no right to criticise them or call them names. The rulers are innocent and their position in the Parliament is sacrosanct. Dare raise voice against them and be ready to get persecuted. All politicians cutting across the party lines will stand united and ensure even the slightest hint of opposition against their ilk dies a natural death.
As if all this were not enough, we have a story of the army chief being offered a bribe of high sum for the purchase of army trucks belonging to a particular manufacturing company. As soon as the story is out, allegations and counter allegations begin to fly thick and fast. All sorts of theories start doing the rounds. The poor army chief becomes the butt of all sorts of joke. The Defense Minister too is not spared and the trial by media gets underway with the entire country sitting in the judgement.
This is the real dance of democracy where anybody is welcome. The proceedings are televised and the whole country can partake. There's nothing wrong in it. This is the hallmark of a truly vibrant democracy. But there is something that doesn't quite jell well. What's that? All this hyperbole masquerading as freedom of speech borders on voyeurism. The real issues get buried. The work doesn't happen. The politicians at whom cameras are trained begin to act like actors who are under tremendous pressure to get the lines right and make the scenes they are enacting as memorable as possible.
With the film industry looking so bereft of new ideas and newer acting talents, it should consider shifting its responsibility of entertaining people to these wily politicians who know the pulse of the nation and will leave no stones unturned in making the TRPs soar as high as the sky and break all previous box-office records. Any takers?

Losing weight is never easy. It involves discipline and the will of an individual in achieving the optimal weight. What makes it more difficult is the misconception of people who tends to gain weight even if they exert much effort in burning their excess fats. Doing exercise regularly will help, but there are people who regularly goes into a gym yet continues to gain weight and end up frustrated.
They do have the will to be on a weight loss program and are willing to undergo all the physical activities regardless how painful it is. What most people overlooked is the fact that they may have miscalculated their diet. They may have avoided fats but it could be possible that they may have taken more carbohydrates than what is necessary.
Carbohydrates are a good source of power. It energizes us so we can fulfill our daily tasks. It is also necessary to balance our diet. But too much carbs however will no longer be good for our health. If we consume more than what is necessary we may not be able to burn the calories it contains fast enough. This in turn will convert unused calorie into an excess baggage in our body.
Before exercise it is important to eat so that you will have the energy to do your work out. After doing all the strenuous exercises in the gym it is important not to eat. Because if you do especially if you consume carbohydrates it will not be burned, instead the unused calorie contained on carbs will be converted into fat and your body will store it. This is what happens to people who goes to a gym yet remains overweight.
Therefore the carbs that we take in is not bad especially if we take it as needed. Reducing carbs is important for people who are into a weight loss program. It is imperative to discipline ourselves particularly our diet to attain a healthy body.
Low carbs equates to moderation. Too much of anything is not good. In order to have a good life we need to put things in their proper order. In doing this we just need to be vigilant especially in our diet. Whatever we take in has to be burned, and in order to maintain an optimal metabolism low carbs is essential most particularly for those who are on a weight loss program.

Young Art Collectors Versus Experienced Ones
They are young, successful, and full of cash. According to the Wall Street Journal, the so called millennials – born between 1980 and 2000 – is the largest generation in the labor force of the United States. It is estimated that this generation of consumers will spend $1.4 trillion (per year!) when the year 2020 comes. Also, according to the New York Times, this generation will inherit $30 billion in the next couple of years. With this huge amount of money that will be available and spent, the millennials are even now considered a very important force on many markets, and that goes with the art market, as well.
The Differences
Now, what is that thing that differs young art collectors from more experienced ones? One thing first comes to mind: they have less money. If we translate that into art market, the logical consequence is that they can't afford blue-chip artworks, nor they can afford to buy as many art pieces as they would have wanted. Of course, there are exceptions from that rule – yes, there are individuals that, through inheritance or family ties, actually have those amounts of money. But, there are far more young art collectors that simply aren't as rich as their older competitors and colleagues. Because of that, they usually buy more affordable artworks – at Affordable Art Fair, for example. In other words, they won't appear at Christie's Evening Sale, but they will come to Christie's First Open auction.
Taking Risks
Also, young art collectors, generally speaking, take more risks than experienced ones. They are willing to go into unexplored territory and buy artworks by unknown, or less known artists, that are quite far from any kind of mainstream art. Of course, as expected, most of older collectors don't take as many risks, as they settle with traditional artworks where surprises are much rarer. But, because young art collectors are buying unknown and cheaper artworks, they are often accused that they are "flip-flopping" artworks a lot. What does that mean? That means that they are not buying art because they like it, but in order to re-sell it for a profit. This way, one particular artwork changes owners very quickly, thus making the state of the art market quite questionable: does the price of an artwork rises because the artist is good and gains popularity, or it's because of the instant craze that will end soon? Yet, while the flip-flopping exists, especially with the art by young and emerging artists, the profit appears to stay at the art market – young art collectors use it to buy more pieces in order to enlarge their collections.
Internet and Social Media
Another characteristic of young art collectors is that they are working and are connected with a larger number of people. They are usually more proactive and more aggressive in actions related to galleries, and they are, to a greater extent, taking advantages of modern ways of communication and new technologies. While it is relatively rare for old collectors to buy artworks online, young collectors are equally buying art pieces offline and online. When they are online, they are usually using social networks, such as Instagram. Recently, a survey has been taken amongst art collectors that regularly visit Instagram, and more than half of them have bought artworks by an artist they have spotted for the first time right there, on the Instagram. This social network has a growing influence on the art market, and it has been dubbed as a factor that makes the market more transparent – it gives much greater access to works of art that any gallery could ever do. Also, the so called millennials are using Instagram to stay in touch both with artists that present their work online, and gallerists that are always on the look for the new young star of the art market.

All board members must be fully committed to the concept of a diverse and representative board. If necessary this may need work on changing the culture of the organisation and its board, in which case a game plan needs to be drawn up and the item kept on board agendas until realised. Consideration should be given to the practices of the board: time and place of meetings, whether younger members require shorter terms of office, guidance on claiming out-of-pocket expenses etc. Retention of new trustees is as important as recruitment: it is essential that any training needs are met and the new experience and knowledge they bring are fully used.

Tricycle is leading a city-wide effort to improve Richmond's policies to remove barriers to successful urban agriculture locally in our own city. We are working with state leaders to develop a rich understanding of the importance of urban ag and healthy food access, and we are working with national partners to advocate for continued support of urban ag and healthy food access initiatives.
As events, activities and calls for support are needed, we will call on people who eat to support our collective efforts.
"The future of rural agriculture depends on the success of urban agriculture, because cities are where many of the next generation of farmers now live," said Lindsey Lusher Shute, the Executive Director of the National Young Farmers Coalition. "Some of America's most successful new farms are run by young people who launched their careers growing in backyards, community gardens and on rooftops."
Roger Johnson, President of the National Farmers Union, said "[u]rban agriculture is an important part of meeting rising food demands, supplying easier access to highly nutritious vegetables and fruits, reconnecting the food consumer with the farmer, and establishing new market opportunities for emerging farmers."
Nearly 1.7 million Virginians live in low income areas with limited access to supermarkets. Families who live in areas with limited supermarket access are more likely to suffer from diet-related disease. By 2030, Virginia will have over 1 million cases of diabetes and over 2 million cases of heart disease.

text: From traffic flow to pedestrian access: Shifting Mumbai's parking policy Author Filippo Date 11/02/2014 In a recent study, the International Energy Agency (IEA ) projected that the area required for parking in India if motorization trends continue as they are today will reach between 10,000 and 20,000 square kilometers (3,861 to 7,722 square miles) by 2050 – an area up to 35 times the current size of the entire city of Mumbai. With the country's urban population expected to top 820 millionby the same year, Indian cities face a choice: are we going to create cities for vehicles or the people who live in them? Effective parking management is a crucial element to sustainable urban growth, particularly in Mumbai – where the Metropolitan Regional Development Authority has reported that up to 52% of total trips are made via walking. But the city's parking policies favor motorists, which has generated many negative impacts, including inaccessible streets for non-motorized transport users, traffic congestion, poor ventilation, and a lack of priority for public transport. All of these factors contribute to an overwhelming parking crisis in Mumbai. It's time for a revision of the city's parking policies. read the full article: http://thecityfix.com/blog/traffic-flow-pedestrian-access-shifting-mumbai-parking-policy-pawan-mulukulta/
