Govinda once ruled Hindi comedy. Forced to be away from the big screen by a series of flops, he's back and climbing the popularity charts again.

Here the actor-turned politician-turned actor talks of politics, his comeback and acting with Salman Khan.

Excerpts from an interview:
How are you enjoying the new phase in your acting career?
I am very excited and happy that the industry has given me a warm return to films. I know that I have been away from the limelight for the last few years. Actually my films were not working in the early 2000s and I wasn't getting any exciting offers.
So I moved into politics with the sole intention of serving the people if I can't entertain them on the big screen.
But somehow politics didn't go the way I planned. I realised that I am best in acting in movies and looked eagerly to return. I was lucky that I had some friends and wellwishers who helped me make this comeback.
Will you contest elections again?
Well I haven't decided on that and will keep my options open. But currently I am focusing on making a successful comeback by doing some good roles and acting with challenging filmmakers. Ideally I would like to see myself regain my position, where I am away from competition and yet have my own market with my films.
Were you satisfied with your comeback role in Bhagam Bhag where your co-star Akshay Kumar stole the limelight?
To be honest I absolutely did not have any market then. I was completely aware that Bhagam Bhag was being sold on Akshay Kumar's name, whose popularity has risen over the years.
My role was to be done by Suniel Shetty and he was gracious enough to offer me his part, which I felt was a meaty role. So I believe this is the best I could have got offered under the circumstances
How have you shaped up in David Dhawan's Partner?
I am very happy with my role in Partner and have enough scope for me to perform. I play the character of Bhasker Diwakar who looks to Salman Khan for help in sorting out his love life. It has loads of funny situations with lively music. David has packaged the film very well.
How do you rate Salman Khan as an actor? He once said he's frightened to act with you because of your comic talent.
Salman is a humble man and these words about me speak about his humility. He is not only a dear friend but is like a brother to me. I believe Salman is extremely talented and he is underestimated by the so-called critics.
His comic timing has improved over the years and he now performs most of his scenes effortlessly. Moreover his handsome physique with his acting style makes him a sheer delight amongst his fans. It was pure joy acting with Salman in Partner and I can't wait to do another film with him.
How was your experience acting with Katrina Kaif?
I enjoyed working with Katrina and she is a very hardworking girl with talent that needs to be nurtured. There is no question about her beauty and screen presence, which have already impressed many. I am sure she has a bright career ahead of her.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
32 Back on the road, they set out for Jerusalem. Jesus had a head start on them, and they were following, puzzled and not just a little afraid. He took the Twelve and began again to go over what to expect next. | 32 They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him. |

For all hepatitis C services in Scotland, these quality indicators specify a minimum set of measures that demonstrate person-centred, safe and effective care is being delivered.
Patients, voluntary organisations and healthcare professionals helped to develop the quality indicators for hepatitis C.
Hepatitis C indicators apply to all hepatitis C services in Scotland, whether directly provided by an NHS board or secured on behalf of an NHS board. The indicators focus on:
For patients and the public, these indicators provide a means of showing that health care is person-centred, safe, effective and continuously improving.
For healthcare professionals, these quality indicators have been designed to use existing data collection where possible, minimising the healthcare resource needed to bring about improvement.
With Health Protection Scotland and ISD, we will establish a process for reporting on the quality indicators for hepatitis C using data from existing national databases.
National Networks for Viral Hepatitis Clinical Leads and Blood Borne Virus Prevention Leads will ensure Scotland's NHS boards are engaged in this process.
Data for the quality indicators will begin to be reported in 2013-2014.
For full details of the indicators, our methodology and plans for the future please download the resource above.

A type of censorship used in non-pornographic anime and manga. Instead of pixelating or covering nipples or genitals, they're simply not drawn.
There are laws in Japan against showing genitals in entertainment media, whether it's anime, a TV show or even a pornographic film. Nipples, while not falling under any of these laws, aren't suitable in anime or manga aimed at young audiences. Because of this, nipples are usually censored and genitals always are. The "Anime Anatomy" method (also known as the Barbie Doll method) is to simply omit drawing them altogether, leaving characters without those particular anatomical features.
The Barbie Doll method is often used if a scene features nudity but is intended to be tasteful or viewed by a young audience. Because eroticism is not the primary intended focus of such scenes, the concept of "less is more" is a popular choice over other censoring methods such as mosaic pixelation (a staple of hentai), which can be unsightly and distracting, or convenient censorship.
Nipples on men usually aren't shown in anime or manga, though they are actually considered acceptable and don't need to be censored. In some cases, male nipples are visible only in close-up shots.
This method is more popular with anime shows that will never be shown in any kind of "uncensored" form. Anime aimed at older audiences tend to use the convenient censorship method since nipples are initially drawn and it becomes easier to just obscure them with objects, light beams or shadows for television broadcast. The convenient censorship is then not included on home releases.

The pick up artist industry is an amazing one ... men around the world who claim that women are second class citizens, need to submit to them, are nothing but ho's, etc. are paying $5000-10000 for a weekend to learn how to understand women, talk to women, and get women into their bed. Isn't that contradiction interesting?
To me the success of this industry means five things:
We're going to discuss the pick up artist industry, what these guys teach lonely horny men, and how women need to get up on the games these guys play to protect themselves. The call in number is 347-327-9215. Looking forward to your contribution to the discussion!

Parent-child Interactions in Autism: Characteristics of Play
Date Published:
February 4, 2013
Researchers examine parent-child dyads during structured and free play and find that that joint engagement lasts longer when parents engage their child at or slightly above the child's current level of play. Parents of children with autism often find it difficult to estimate their child's level, which can result in parents engaging at too high of a level and shortening the interaction.

Wipro Technologies has announced the opening of a new European development centre in Hungary's capital, Budapest.
The Indian outsourcing company, which has received criticism for its part in UK on-shoring, intends for the European centre to be used primarily for restructuring Magyar Telekom, a Deutsche Telekom subsidiary that Wipro signed a restructuring deal with earlier in 2010.
The move marks a long-term plan by Wipro to bring its services into closer proximity to its customers and to make use of "local powers". Wipro already has 20 bases in Europe and there are plans to build four additional centres in Romania and Poland.
Hungary's investment agency, ITD Hungary, welcomed Wipro's announcement, particularly since it could also attract other Indian firms into Europe and Hungary in particular.
Competition is one thing, but it has been revealed that a number of Indian tycoons have been lobbying European countries in order to take advantage of the IT industry's desire to hire a workforce much cheaper than that offered by European citizens.
When we look at some of the lobbyists, it raises further questions. One of them is Nira Radia, who lobbied on behalf of big businessman Ratan Tata, the chairman of India's largest conglomerate Tata Group. Both Radia and Tata are involved in the 2G spectrum scandal that has rocked India recently, and it was revealed that Radia had been lobbying the former Indian Minister for Telecommunications, A. Raja, for 2G allotment.
While the 2G scam is a separate affair to the controversial on-shoring, it does raise a number of questions about governments giving in to lobbying, regardless of how tempting the offers might be. It's not hard to understand why the UK or Hungary would want Indian investment, particularly in the current economic climate - but from what we have seen so far the system can easily be abused.

It is worrying to hear that individuals who were involved in high-profile scams are lobbying; however, their background is no secret and must be something the authorities should consider before any concessions.

"I think if I predict, you want to make a prediction?" – 3:09
Fantasy season has started…My teams Cam-Do Attitude, I Think Therefore I Cam and JaVale Force Wins will all be atop the podium in a few short months.
The other thing I would predict is that the boulders above will not wait another 10 years to be properly climbed on. I have been making reconnaissance trips to this area every few years, but it's finally time to move them forward instead of going back over and over for the beautiful hike.
And finally, the making of this video below will lead to the completion of a few of my long standing projects…

We actually ending up "NOT STAYING" at the park. We had called and made reservations. We were coming from the west on alt US 72. The first problem encountered was that we had to go past the park and make a difficult "U" turn. As soon as we turned into the drive to the RV park, we encountered problem #2. We could see the RV park about 150 yards down a narrow asphalt drive. In the 15 years we have been RVers, I have never seen a road with as many pot holes. You could not drive over 1MPH and still had to try to miss them. Mission impossible. When we got to the park, all sites were small and close together. This is a Fish Camp with some RV spaces. The camp host was friendly enough, but this was not what we expected, and decided to leave. The trip in, and out took almost 30 minutes including a few minutes of conversation with the host. - phaeton31808

Great RV park, owned & managed by city of Decatur with most amenities except cable TV. Antenna will pick up a few stations. Good Wi-Fi and cell phone connectivity. Level, shaded spots for everybody. Over 600 acres here with many, many spots and lots of locals know about this place. I will stay here again if I'm in this area. Price noted is senior citizen discount. Fire pits for all and cheap firewood available. Lots of shade and cool breezes. - TARCREEKMONSTER
Yes, I went to this park. I have been there multiple times in the winter when the population is lower. This park is part of a city owned complex and has a large population of permanent residents especially during the warm months. The park is clean and well kept. I haven't used the bath houses and can't speak for them. The laundry was nice. It is centrally located to the city of Decatur but isolated enough so that you don't feel like you are in the busy city. During the warm months this is largely a trailer park rather than a campground in that they don't accept reservations and are consistently full. It's obvious there are vast amounts of long-term residents. I found the office staff to be unconcerned about visitor parking needs and demonstrated a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. While I wouldn't mind staying at the park again, I can't afford to drive my 35' MH there without reservations on the remote chance of getting a spot. I find their attitude unfriendly toward out of town visitors and more accommodating to locals who just need a place to store their RV. I would not recommend any out of town tourists planning on staying there. - Revconguy
Friendly staff, but not familiar with site sizes, locations, etc. Surprising number of full timers for a public park. A little difficult to find; follow directions carefully. Sites were a little larger than average, overall appearance a little better than average. We didn't use the golf course, tennis courts, etc. The rating would be higher if you wanted these amenities. - RMC

The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences Singapore, the first Ritz-Carlton Residences in Asia, had its symbolic topping out ceremony on Monday to celebrate the structural completion of the 36-storey bespoke residence.
"Today's celebration marks a significant milestone for Hayden Properties and KOP," said Leny Suparman, chief executive of KOP Properties.
The development's efficient progress has been achieved due to the good cooperation between all the participating partners involved in the many aspects of the project, said Ms. Suparman.
Situated at the heart of Singapore's prime residential district at 65 Cairnhill Road, Ritz-Carlton Residences Singapore sits on about 60,000 sq ft of land, with three sky terraces housing entertainment, extensive fitness and services facilities for residents. The development will comprise two penthouses and 56 apartments, with each unit equipped with designer fittings and appliances and bedrooms with en suite bathrooms.

Nicholas Woodman, Founder And CEO Of GoPro, Named National EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ 2013 Retail And Consumer Products Award Winner
SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Nicholas Woodman, Founder and CEO of GoPro, has been named the National EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ 2013 Retail and Consumer Products Award winner. The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Award is the country's most prestigious business award for entrepreneurs. The award encourages entrepreneurial activity and recognizes leaders and visionaries who demonstrate innovation, financial success and personal commitment as they create and build world-class businesses.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130701/NY40565LOGO-b )
Woodman was recognized for developing a high-definition video camera for extreme sports that has evolved into one of the most engaged brands in social media today. He was honored at the Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards gala, the culminating event of the EY Strategic Growth Forum® in Palm Springs, Calif. The Forum is the nation's premier gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies. Awards were given in 10 additional categories.
The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Award winners were selected by an independent panel of judges and from more than 250 regional award recipients.
"We are pleased to honor Nicholas Woodman with this esteemed award," said Bryan Pearce, EY Americas Director, Entrepreneur Of The Year. "He was able to see early in the game just how important it is to surround yourself with the right team — people who possess the strengths that you don't. The great minds Nicholas brought to the table under his leadership have made GoPro a huge success." Walking before running Ironically, Woodman's inspiration to develop GoPro came as he was trying to recover from the failure of his first internet business, a marketing start-up he'd launched after graduating from college. While he raised some $4 million in venture capital and made all the right moves, the company didn't survive the dot-com crash. Failure was one thing, but the stress of losing other people's money forced Woodman to reassess his goals and focus on building a business based on a true passion: surfing. An avid surfer, Woodman had long realized how frustrating it was for surfers to get great shots and footage of themselves while they were riding the waves. All that was available at the time were disposable cameras attached to their wrists. However, the photo quality was terrible, and the cameras often flew off, sometimes hitting surfers in the face.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Paying for Advice Can Cost You
On that note about her meditations, Alice has stated that she is about using the Law of Attraction in her method. A quick listen to her "Manifesting Love" recording reveals an interesting choice of guided meditation dialogue. The language is very future oriented and are the words of waiting for someone to enter one's life. Even if you don't agree with Law of Attraction thinking, you probably have heard about a key concept in creating your reality from its many fans, which is to feel and speak as if the reality you want to have in your life is already here. In this sense, Alice's meditation by virtue of its linguistics appears to reinforce the identity, thoughts and feelings of someone single and waiting rather than coupled and content. Just saying.
Alice also teaches alot about releasing attachments to past relationships, romantic or otherwise, as it could delay your soulmate from showing up. She even has a meditation CD called "Releasing A Person" and a much more intensive and expensive "Ultimate Super Release Kit" to help you with that. Overall I totally agree that staying "hung up" on the past prevents the present and future from entering your life. In the initial stages of a break-up this is a very useful CD to use for a decent amount of time. Release and replace are key takeaways from Alice's work which I fundamentally approve of. Where I am not so in alignment is that Alice's method is adamant that attachment to a past partner can delay one's "soul mate" from showing up so one must release as fast as possible. In my opinion a divorce is like a death and each person's recovery is different. However, proper grieving is healthy as unhealed loss can come back to haunt a person later on.
One of Alice's sayings which she tweeted recently was: When you stop chasing the wrong thing, you give the right things a chance to catch up with you." In simple situations this is true. Remember the guy or girl in High School who only had eyes for a particular person and could not see anyone else and ending up losing out on a better person who liked them back? That is what Alice is teaching and that's a good thing. However, when someone feels the need to force themselves to "get over it" it may, for some, create resistance. And what you resist can persist. Suppression of emotions may lead to keeping them alive and fresh rather than allowing them to come up to be dealt with or healed. For many people, there are times when it's not so much release and replace emotions but giving them permission to rise up and out of you. The later requires feeling them fully and acknowledging how potent they are if not recognized and dealt with properly.

The goal of this site is to present the reader with scriptural evidence of God's sovereignty in all things - including salvation. The impetus behind the naming of the site is twofold. First, it has been said that the words "but God" form the most important phrase in the entire Bible. This phrase is used throughout scripture as a turning point - a line of demarcation between peril and rescue, chaos and control, fall and redemption (see but God in the readings section). Since our goal is to highlight God's sovereignty, what better place is there to start than those moments when God's Sovereignty is revealed in such a decisive manner?
The second reason comes from this quote :
Just men depend on the grace of God rather than on their own wisdom in keeping their resolutions.
In Him they confide every undertaking, for man, indeed, proposes but God disposes, and God's way is not man's."
-Thomas a Kempis, The Imitation of Christ, Bk. 1, Ch. 19
Part of the problem with Christianity today is that it is too cluttered with the teachings of man. From America's Declaration of Independence, to France's Declaration of the Rights of Man, our concepts of human rights, justice, and equality, have advanced greatly in the last 300 years. However, God is not governed by man's law, and He is not limited by our definitions. So, when we try to interpret God's Word by trying to make it fit with our ideas of what is "right" and "fair", it results in the westernization of Christianity into something that is no longer based on scripture alone, but rather is a conglomeration of God's word and man's will.
This is not to say that all Truth is to be found in the Bible, or that the Bible is the only source of God's Truth. Obviously, the church's ministers, teachings and writings are of great importance in helping us understand scripture. However, it is our position that all things necessary for salvation and life in the Christian faith are taught clearly in the Bible, and that any interpretation or exposition should not be considered equal with scripture. Accordingly, this site seeks to present the Truth of God's Word with as little commentary as possible - the scripture speaks for itself.
So when going through the readings, please give particular attention to the actual text of the scriptures given. Their wording is God-ordained and therefore deliberate and powerful.

Insurer looks to part ways with NFL
A company that the NFL was hoping it could count on to help in its defense against concussion lawsuits is seeking to separate itself from the league.
Alterra America Insurance, which provided the NFL with an excess casualty insurance policy last season, has asked for a New York State Supreme Court judge to issue a declaratory judgment in its favor that would clear the firm from having to defend the league and pay for the damages associated with litigation that now involves more than 3,000 former players. Many of the player suits have been consolidated into a single case in a district court in Pennsylvania.
In a complaint filed on Monday, Alterra said the league had expressed it was expecting the company to be involved in both defending and covering the league should it lose in court.
Calls and emails made to Alterra, and a lawyer representing the company, were not returned.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said league officials couldn't specifically comment because its legal team has not been served with the papers related to the action.
McCarthy provided ESPN.com with a statement the league has been using for some time.
"The NFL has long made player safety a priority and continues to do so. Any allegation that the NFL intentionally sought to mislead players has no merit. It stands in contrast to the league's actions to better protect players and advance the science and medical understanding of the management and treatment of concussions."
Alterra, which covered the league for only one year, is one of many insurance companies with which the league has a policy. No other insurance company that has a relationship with the league has balked in defending and perhaps paying off future claims.
As the concussion lawsuits mount, a significant amount of pressure has been put on the insurance companies. In April, Riddell, the official helmet of the league which has been included in many of the player lawsuits, filed suit in California, after it said that three of the nine companies that it had insurance policies with -- ranging in time from 1959 to 1980 -- either failed to acknowledge the league had coverage with them or contested the insurance company wasn't liable for current claims against Riddell.
