Ruth Wilson Is A Desperate Housewife In Hedda Gabler
As the latest starry take on Hedda Gabler proves, Norway's contribution to London life this season may amount to more than just a controversial Christmas tree.
Love is never easy to find, keep or sustain. American satirist Ambrose Bierce described it as "a temporary insanity curable by marriage", a sentiment that Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen would likely have agreed with.
Ibsen's morbid meditation on marriage is one of the all-time classic dramas and its eponymous female protagonist is up there in the 'bored women raging against the patriarchy' stakes with Lulu and Madame Bovary. When we first meet her, Gabler's marriage isn't the happiest: she's settled for the dullest man around, her ex is back on the scene and she's reduced to flirting with a family friend with his own agenda.
The latest outing of this nihilistic poster child for promiscuity is in capable hands both onstage and off. Sporting the best pout in Britain, Ruth Wilson has transcended her origins as Luther's sociopathic sidekick to win an award for her role in HBO's acclaimed The Affair. She takes on the title role here opposite Rafe Spall as Judge Brack, the only character who matches Hedda in terms of depravity and sexual ambition.
Belgian director Ivo von Hove is the latest theatre wunderkind to be let loose in London. His View From A Bridge won prizes aplenty, not least a hat-trick of Oliviers and a deuce of Tonys while his work on David Bowie musical Lazarus was the best thing about that disaster and the only reason it earned its solitary star from us. This is a man who can create a single six-hour Dutch-language production which gangbangs together three of Shakespeare's plays into one much-anticipated whole.
The final big name is comedian and writer Patrick Marber. As well as being part of the cast of the seminal satire The Day Today, he was the man behind the no-holds-barred play Closer and its BAFTA-winning screen adaptation. Given his earlier work, it is no surprise that he was attracted to Ibsen's brutal excoriation of failed relationships, dishonesty and betrayal.
Is Hedda Gabler more than the sum of its parts? Not really. Everyone puts in a decent shift but there are questions in every department.
She starts out dressed in a dark dressing gown over a white night dress, a visual clue to her state of mind, especially in the second act when she throws off the gown as her black plans begin to come together. They say some people just want to watch the world burn; Wilson's Hedda is the kind to bring her own flamethrower to a party. She fiercely demonstrates the right blend of ennui, immorality, deceitfulness and — all too late — self-awareness. Hedda's frustration, rage and struggle with "engagement, marriage, honeymoon and whatever hell comes next" is made all too real but she only engages us in fits and bursts.
The supporting cast around her do well to enliven their characters but the men seem to be miscast — as her blinkered husband Tesman, Kyle Soller makes little emotional impact while Spall's Brack is appropriately louche but rarely a threatening figure until the final furlong. Chukwudi Iwuji's Lovborg — arguably this play's most tragic figure — deals well with the darker elements of the story but doesn't convince otherwise.
Marber's intelligent script has a few modern phrases like "good point, well made" but no-one whips out their mobile phone to tweet about their existential misery. Von Hove's direction is subtler than in Lazarus but still provides dramatic fireworks especially in an explosive finale which sees Brack pouring blood over a defeated Gabler from a soft drinks can. The superb use of incidental music and tracks like Cat Power's cover of Joni Mitchell's Blue adds depth and pathos. Some of the scenes, though, are limper than week-old lettuce, something which Marber and von Hove are both at fault for.
By the end, one is left feeling that the play is much like Gabler's husband: despite all the talent and the promise, it could have done so much better for itself.
Hedda Gabler continues at the National Theatre until 21 March 2017. More information can be found on the official website. Londonist attended on an official press ticket.

Just another device after all
Today I rebooted my phone for the first time in many many months. Other than for software upgrades I can't recall a time when I have chosen to fully power cycle the device for reasons other than a dead battery, and even that is a relatively rare occurrence these days.
The reason? Well, it just didn't feel right. Pressing the home button was encountering odd delays as if it had not registered the key press, and overall the whole thing just felt, well slow. This might not seem an unusual thing for many people, but it had immediately drawn my attention. It's a testament to the general speed of the device as a whole that you start to wonder what is wrong when a few seconds delay is introduced to tasks, rather than appreciate the fact that you are normally saved from such mundane irritations. Of course, the iPhone hasn't always been super responsive at all times, the first release of iOS 3 on the iPhone 3G did indeed reduce it to a crawl on text entry until it was patched but these day, well if it was a proper "Mac" I would say it certainly has "teh snappy" these days.
So, that was the reason for rebooting the phone, but not the reason for it feeling slow. Did it fix it? Sadly the answer was a resounding no.
No space at the inn
So after a morning of confusion I am finally alerted to the culprit. I'm out of space. Thinking back the last thing I did was take video of my daughter playing, and it's tipped the scales of the device. However, this doesn't really explain the general slowness of the device satisfactorily to me. I could understand apps not wanting to start, or crashing, or otherwise producing errors of some sort, but just being slow? Odd. It's not as though it is using any virtual memory to try to shuffle apps around like other mobile OS attempt, so its storage situation should just remain static when performing simple phone operations like setting an alarm or viewing the calendar etc. A bit more digging showed me that I has precisely 0 bytes available:
Naturally suspicious, I then took a screenshot which as you can see worked, so I suspect that there is a certain amount of leeway in what it considers to be free space or not!
Anyway, the problem identified I went ahead and removed a couple of videos as suggested and we are back to cooking on gas. So, was there anything useful to take away from a simple problem? I think so.
It's not magical after all
Firstly, it just goes to show how much we take for granted the capabilities of the iPhone and devices like it. It never occurred to me, or rather it has never manifested that there was some finite limit on it's capabilities that was as mundane as storage. OK, you come across this when trying to stuff it full of films to take on holiday etc, but this is during a time of (for want of a better word) "maintenance", not necessarily normal use. Day to day, I've spent since launch doing whatever I wanted without ever hitting a limit that curtailed my usage, whether than be running out of space, connectivity, speed, or anything else for that matter. Days like today make you realise it's just a computer after all. Damn fine and all that, but just an operating system, running on a selection of components that have their limits.
Also, always get the biggest device you can afford with regards to storage! With talk of the upcoming 8MP camera in the next iPhone, we can only expect to use up the available space faster than ever before. In a similar vein, I suspect I must have gotten close to whatever invisible threshold iOS deems "full" in the past, but have likely synced in sufficient time to empty out the pictures and videos before hitting the storage wall. I have occasionally synced at the same time as charging, just because that was the nearest USB socket, but with the upcoming Wireless sync and iCloud photo stream that may change my sync strategy, i.e. I may stop doing it at all and thus be more susceptible to running out of space.
There's an old adage in computing that you will always use the space available to you, whether you have a 20Mb drive, or a 2Tb one. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it eventually happened on the phone too, just perhaps surprised at how long it took.

Afghanistan should avoid allegations against Pakistan: FO
The FO said the Afghan government should avoid allegations on the basis of mere speculations.
The Afghan president has blamed Pakistan for "in practice maintaining distinction between good and bad terrorists."
During his speech at Warsaw Summit, Ashraf Ghani said: "Our regional initiatives with neighbors are beginning to yield significant cooperative dividends. The exception is with Pakistan–despite clear commitments to a quadrilateral peace process, their dangerous distinction between good and bad terrorists is being maintained in practice.
"The key problem among our neighboring states is an absence of agreed rules of the game, thus we seek regional and global support in creating those rules, which will bind us to collective security and harmony," he continued.
The foreign office said it was unfortunate to hold Pakistan accused by the Afghan leadership at NATO meeting.
"Peace in Afghanistan is in Pakistan's own interest. Pakistan will continue its efforts to establish peace in Afghanistan. We expect cooperation from the Afghan government in war on terror," he said.
The FO said close cooperation between foreign offices of both the countries was need of the hour.

Peter Gordon: Pigging out on pork chops
My pork chop problem: my parents raise a free-range pig each summer. They have got lovely loin chops still on the bone but we have have issues cooking them. Roasting them made them tough and dry. I tried pan-frying them in the oven till medium so they were moist, but they were still tough. What is the best way to cook them? - Thanks, Cath P.S You rock, love your food
Thanks for the feedback. Mum breadcrumbs tricky pork then pan-fries it in butter and a little oil and bakes in medium oven - it keeps it juicy and very delicious.
I have recently being told of a chutney recipe using figs, walnuts and whiskey. Do you know how I could make this? How much liquid (whiskey) should I use in proportion to fruit and nuts? What spices would work with this? - Thanks, Gloria
Funnily enough, I make this myself and sell through Sabato and other retailers. I couldn't possibly give the recipe away ...
I tried an interesting liquorice icecream with an orange sauce that I'd love to try in my home icecream maker. It wasn't overly aniseedy or cough-syrupy. What would I use to get the liquorice flavour - crumbed/ground sweets or is there a powder or extract you can buy? - Caroline
You can buy liquorice pastilles from France (or is it Italy) from Sabato, Nosh Food Market and other top delis. We make pannacotta from them just by crushing them and infusing in milk and cream.

Luxury watch maker Movado (NYSE:MOV) issued a special dividend of 75 cents a share on Wednesday as it looks to return money to shareholders before the fiscal cliff deadline at the end of the year that could double dividend taxes.
Continue Reading Below
Movado becomes one of a number of companies issuing special dividends this month, including Costco (NASDAQ:COST), which unveiled a special dividend of $7 a share on Wednesday, and Jack Daniels maker Brown-Forman (NYSE:BFB).
Paramus, N.J.-based Movado also approved a regular quarterly cash dividend of 5 cents a share. Both are payable on Dec. 21 to shareholders of record on Dec. 10.
"We are continually focused on enhancing value for our shareholders," Movado CEO Efraim Grinberg said in a statement. "The declaration of this special dividend reflects our board's continued confidence in both our financial position and brand strategies which continue to strengthen the company."
The expiration of current tax cuts that could more than double dividend tax rates from the current 15% if the U.S. falls over the fiscal cliff at the end of this year has companies rushing to declare special dividends, while others have moved regular dividends to December from January.
Movado's announcement came the same day is reported sales for the three months ended Oct. 31 of $160.2 million, up 12.3% from $142.6 million a year ago, trumping average analyst estimates in a Thomson Reuters poll of $156 million.
Movado doubled third-quarter net income to $34.5 million, or $1.34 a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of $16.4 million, or 65 cents, and lifted its fiscal 2013 guidance above Wall Street expectations.
The designer wristwatch company raised its full-year EPS outlook by 10 cents to $1.50 and said it sees sales growing 10% to $510 million. The consensus is calling for earnings of $1.47 a share on sales of $508.2 million.
Shares of Movado were trading more than 8% higher in recent trade to $34.75.

I have a recipe for a really quick and easy healthy jam recipe using chia seeds if you're interested in making a healthier jam recipe with your kids! It's really easy to make and you can use any berries you like. My recipe uses 1 quart strawberries, 2 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp chia seeds. Directions are on my blog if you're interested! http://www.hellawholesome.com/home/quick-easy-strawberry-chia-jam
The easiest jam I remember is a refrigerator strawberry jam. Cannot remember if the recipe was here on food52, or elsewhere on line, but I found it by googling Refrigerator Strawberry Jam. There's no need to boil the jars to seal them, you just screw on the lids and store it in the fridge. It is delicious. And your kids won't have to wait very long to taste what they made.
my mom always used the recipe on the sure-jell fruit pectin insert! and we always loved it.
How old are the kids and will they be involved in the cooking? Jelly is more finicky to make and maybe less interesting than jam to kids tastes.
In addition to ChefJune rec for fridge jam, and Cariline Lange family recipe, there are freezer jam recipes in pectin package inserts.
Also, make a variety of flavors in VERY small batches, then larger batches when you see what you all prefer.
Last, chutney can be interesting with more texture than jam, even at a young age, with peppers omitted or toned down. Then there are things like picked walnuts, preserved lemons, et. Etc.
oops! meant to refer to all previous posts, including Pnina on jam with chia seed. Also spelling gremlin should know it's "Caroline"
I like to make quick fig jam with agave syrup.
Never lasts long!
I remember from when I was young: volume of berries: sugar = 2:1. Clean and hull berries, add to the pot with sugar, cook until berries is very mushed. Add ~ 1 tsp- 1 tbsp lemon juice. Add more sugar/lemon after tasting for adjustment. Keep in fridge for ~4-5 days.
This small-batch method from Russ Parsons in the LA Times is the way I like to make jam: http://articles.latimes...
Really helpful article, thanks! I'm new to jam making - just canned for the first time recently. This would be a great way to easily experiment with flavors/ingredients, before committing to the whole canning process.
For those interested in small-batch jam-making and preserving, the Food in Jars website is a great resource. Lots of good recipes and tips.
I'd recommend apple or plum butter is an easy and rewarding project for the small-batch preserver, particularly since it's coming into apple season.

Teachers on school lunchtime protests
Speaking about today's national lunchtime protests by second-level teachers, ASTI representative for Donegal and Sligo Neil Curran said:
"Teachers are extremely concerned that changes to Junior Cycle education, announced by the Minister for Education and Skills, will impact negatively on children's and young people's experience of second-level education. The plan to abolish the Junior Certificate and replace it with in-house exams graded by students' own teachers, will undermine education standards and change the nature of student/teacher, parent/teacher relations. We believe that our Junior Cycle students are entitled to a fair, transparent and objective evaluation of their efforts."
Today's protest by second-level teachers was organised by the ASTI and the TUI. The unions also launched a website containing information for parents http://juniorcyclecampaign.com.

Quarter I Finish-Along Goals
Loving a checklist is a holdover habit from my working days. DH says I always tell him what I got done every day (not what I did, but what I got done) like I have to prove I was doing something instead of eating bonbons on the couch while watching TV. Yep, sounds like me. Come to think of it, it may have more to do with justifying my summer days to my mother when I was a kid (she worked). Good grief!
Oh well. Regardless, here is my list:
1. Rainbow Rails. This is a quilt top pieced for the 2016 Rainbow Scrap Challenge. It's made with vintage sheets and is currently basted and ready for quilting and binding.
EDITED TO ADD: FINISHED and blogged about here.
2. Rainbow Dresdens. Another RSC 2016 quilt top. Centers are doilies and yo-yos, backgrounds are solid pastels in blue, yellow pink. Needs to be basted, quilted and bound.
EDITED TO ADD: Finished and blogged about HERE.
3. Scrappy Improv (RSC 2016) in Cool Tones. Needs basting, quilting, binding.
EDITED TO ADD: FINISHED and blogged about here.
4. Scrappy Improv (RSC 2016) in Warms. Needs basting, quilting, binding.
Edited to add: Finished and blogged about HERE.
5. Quilt for Brother-in-law. This will be a simple Disappearing 9-patch in black, white, gray and turquoise. An easy make that I need to have done in about a month.
EDITED TO ADD: FINISHED and blogged about HERE.
6. Rose Cottage Quilt in Olive's Flower Market. I just love the fabrics and have probably bought enough to do three quilts, but this one is for MOI.
7. Rainbow 16-Patch Quilt (RSC 2016).
FINISHED! Photographed and blogged about HERE.
I actually thought I had sewn these together already as a flimsy until I discovered them in on a WIP shelf. My bad. This needs to be done this quarter to make room for other WIPs!
I was going to add an eighth quilt (my Farm Girl Vintage quilt, which is in blocks still), but I know that there is no way on God's green earth that I will realistically get to it this quarter. But it will be on the second quarter list, because I am going to put my sewing machine foot pedal to the metal and SEW.
Speaking of pedals, my foot pedal cord keeps cutting out. I just had Bernadette (my Bernina 550QE) in for her annual spa treatment, and they said the connection was just fine. I think they misunderstood what was happening, and I should have been more clear that it was the pedal cord, not the connection. But we are getting by for now, and I don`t want to take it back again until I have to.
Linking up to the 1st Quarter Finish-Along linky party. Why not join us?

Well I must say that it doesn't surprise me that your pedal cord is having overheating problems - not that it's the least bit overworked or anything. Ahem.

I love checking things off my lists! I"ve been known to add something that wasn't on the list, but if it got done, it went on the list with a check! Love your dresdens. If I make another, I'll have to consider your options for centers. Great work on all the rainbow quilts. Mine are still waiting to be put up on the design wall.

I love having lists too, and if I didn't many things would just not happen as I'd forget or lose motivation!! And like Sunny above, I will add something to my list if it wasn't there and I have completed it, just for the satisfaction of checking it off! :) A great selection of project there, but your rainbow improv quilts are just lovely.

2 Facts You Do Certainly Not Realize About LASIK Eye SurgeryThe eye can be analyzed with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation consists of the capability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be checked in numerous methods. The patient may be asked to identify illuminated letter or things of differing sizes on what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in several methods. Stress within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In specific diseases, specifically in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased markedly.
It should be well remembered that a client with an eye problem might have other issues. Often other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can signal the physician and the patient to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
Subsequently, one's reliance on sight is highlighted when one deals with a short-lived or possible long-term loss of this vital sense. For this reason, when corrective steps are sought, particular forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgical operations were developed to encourage decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Essentially, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is remedied permanently.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgery is to develop a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade known as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, permitting much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals should understand. Most likely, the main factor why this kind of eye surgery has become well accepted is due to the fact that the majority of its cases had achieved success.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is one of the most delicate parts of the eye, many people say that the operation can be extremely dangerous.
In other words, a simple mistake might nearly trigger an individual's lifetime blindness. Hence, it is very important to think about many factors prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the right corrective procedure one needs to go through.
2. It is not a perfect procedure
LASIK eye surgery might correct your vision however it does not always indicate that it can offer you a perfect vision. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily mean they have perfect vision.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK may not always be the ideal eye surgical treatment the way the majority of people view it
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. It ought to be well kept in like this mind that a client with an eye problem may have other problems. Often other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can alert the client and the physician to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other signs present themselves.
Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction.

["The Message"]
[Guard:] "HALT!!...What brings you here?"
[Warrior:] "Please let me pass, for I have an urgent message for the king!"
[Warrior:] "My Lord, my errand here is of the outmost importance.
Evil forces of the dark side have crossed our lands and they are heading
towards our kingdom as we speak...What shall we do!?
[The King:] "So...They came at last...The prophecy came true...Damned!"
[Warrior:] "Forgive me My Lord, I don't understand."
[The King:] "You see, a long time ago there was an old man who told everyone:
"We shall all come to face Evil one day, it is to be many years before this happens,
however...it won't be us, whom shall find It...It, shall find us...!"
Well...Arm for battle at once! And gather my knights, we shall ride at nightfall.
["The Battle"]
Out in the darkness the warriors went
The knights and the sorcerers were guiding the way
After a long way they came to a plain
And sighted an army from hell must've been sent
Warriors and blacklords they all came to blows
Bloodshed and sorcery came side by side
Words of enchantment bowstrings were drawn
Voices of mourning were echoing loud
Many were wounded when morning set to dawn
The field was in chaos and still men stood proud
Screaming and crying they fought for their lives
Magic and thunder and meeting of steel in the night
...And the time has come...Ancient prophecy
Now the time has come...Ancient prophecy
It's an ancient prophecy
Ancient prophecy
After the battle few men were left
Although the victory came for the good
The old mans foretelling now had come true
When Evil's inferior the mankind will rule
Screaming and crying...
...And the time has come...[Twice]
"At last, all evil had vanished and the people had prevailed
To achieve victory in life, one have to fight for his
cause and never be oppressed
So...Evil was beaten...At least for now..."

Weight loss expert Alicia Hunter told Hollywood Life that if Miley loses any more weight she'll be way too skinny: 'Miley should continue with her current fitness and healthy eating routine, but she definitely shouldn't lose another pound or she could end up looking way too fragile and downright boney.
Miley looks very toned and sleek, just check out those trim abs! But I'd caution her about consuming any less calories than she presently is. Her collar bone is starting to look way too defined and her arms are becoming very thin.'
Alicia estimated that the 5'5″ star has gone from 135 pounds to 115 pounds in the last year alone: 'Miley looks like she's lost a slew of inches around her waist and her face is much more defined. It doesn't look like she could even pinch a half-inch of fat anywhere on her body.'
UPDATE: Miley went to pilates today!

SWARAGINI: THE PATH TO HAPPINESS (Chapter 10)
Hey everyone!! Hope you all liked the previous chapter… Did you like the twist? What do you think will happen now?
Swasan romance….Sanskar applies sindoor and tells that Swara is his wife from now on
RASIKA'S HOUSE ( previous day ) 7:55pm
Ansh stood outside Rasika's house waiting for her to finish getting ready.
Ansh : Yaar! Why do girls always take so much time? By this time, we could have reached and ordered itself. hmmph..
He checks his watch for the millionth time. Just then, Rasika comes out. He looks at her and forgets everything. She is wearing a black floor length dress and left her hair loose. She looked so beautiful that Ansh wanted to hug her.
Ansh : Hello Rasika! This is for you.
He hands he a bouquet of tulips. She smiles and thanks him. They leave in his car and reach the hotel. They have a lovely time together. He makes her laugh and they tell each other their childhood stories. They don't notice how late it becomes.
Rasika : Oh no, Ansh! It's already 10:15pm. Bhaiya is waiting for me. I should go.
Ansh : Yes, Chalo! I'll drop you.
He drops her in her house.
Rasika : Thank you for giving me such a wonderful time today. I really loved it.
She turns but Ansh stops her. He pulls her towards him. He cups her face, lifts it and looks into her eyes.
Ansh : Do you feel the same things I do when I look at you? Where were you all my life?
They hug. She tells him to call tomorrow and skips happily inside.
Ansh : I love you Rasika. And I will tell you tomorrow.
MAHESHWARI HOUSE ( The same time when Swara was getting drunk)
Laksh gets a call. It's Sanskar.
Laksh : Bhai? What happened to you? You haven't called for 3 days. Everyone was wondering.
Sanskar(from the party) : Lucky, Sorry. I was just too busy. I actually called now because I knew you would be worried about me. Tell everyone I'm alright. I'm out right now. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Laksh : Ok!
He disconnects the call.
Laksh : That's strange.
Ragini ( entering the room ) : What is?
Laksh : Sanskar. I just spoke to him and his voice seemed different. Like the time when Swara was here. You could hear the happiness in his voice. I think bhai is hiding something from us.
Ragini : What are you telling Laksh? I don't understand. Anyways I came to give you the prescription for my tablets. They are almost over and I need new ones.
Laksh : Ok Ragini. I'll go tomorrow and buy them. Come, I'll drop you to your room.
Ragini : Laksh! I want pani poori, Laksh, and ice cream. I really want it.
Laksh : Now? It is 11:30 Ragini. Ill buy for you tomorrow.
Ragini : Please Laksh. I really feel like tasting it now. Please.
Laksh : Fine. Let me take the car keys and we'll go.
They return home, both of them eating ice-creams.
Ragini : Thank you Laksh. I really wanted this.
Laksh : No problem. You know how many you ate Ragini? 12 pooris? This pregnanccy is gonna make you fat.
Ragini ( hits Laksh's arm ) : Laksh!
They start laughing. Ragini chases Laksh through the corridor.
Laksh : Bas baba! After eating so much, I can't run. By the way, you have some ice cream her. ( he points to her face).
Ragini : Here?
Laksh : Wait…I'll do it.
He wipes the ice cream from Ragini's face. They share an eyelock.
Laksh : Ok….It is late now. Go to sleep. I will see you tomorrow.
A tight slap across his cheeks. Sanskar looks at Swara shocked.
Swara : Why Sanskar? I admit you did it out of concern for me. But now Ma, Baba, Bade Papa, Ansh…Everyone is in danger. Why Sanskar? You should have let me be.
Swara drops to the floor and starts crying. Sanskar looks at her with confusion and shock.
Sanskar : Swara? What are you telling? Danger? I don't understand anything. Please tell the truth Swara. Tell me the whole truth.
He gently lifts Swara from the floor and places her on the chair. He asks her to drink some water. Swara looks at Sanskar and he nods encouragingly.
Swara : I will tell you the whole truth.
She tells everything that happened in the last five months. Sanskar listens to all this in anger. His Swara had been through so much. Betrayal, hatred and now blackmail. And he wasn't there to stop it. He couldn't stop her suffering. Swara takes his bleeding hand and begins to bandage it using the first aid box she got from the drawer.
Swara : Because of all this, I had to tell Ma that I hate Ragini and you and can never bear to look at you again. So I wanted to leave and never call. I lied to my own mother. I can't have her finding out the truth. She would be devastated.
Sanskar : Swara! Before I tell anything else, I just want to know one thing. Do you still love me?
Swara : I have never stopped loving you Sanskar. Even when I tried to convince myself I hated you, I knew I loved you. I trust you more than I trust myself. I don't know how I lived without you for so long. But now, I don't have that strength. I need you Sanskar. I need you.
Sanskar : Swara! I love you. I love you. I love you. I can't live without you any longer. Will you marry me tomorrow in the temple?
Swara : You have applied sindoor made of OUR blood. I am yours from now on and you are mine. I am ready to marry you whenever you're ready.
They hug each other.
Swara starts to say something but…
Sanskar : Yes Swara..I know. Pulomi's child will be our child. Don't worry. He/She will be loved and cherished by all. And Pulomi will be taken care of for the rest of her life.
Swara : How well you know me….Why do you love me so much? I have never done anything for you. I always doubted you. I supported Ragini over you. Why do you love me?
Sanskar : Without you, There is no Sanskar…Also even if you did doubt me, you were the one who brought me to the right path. How can I forget that?
They hug each other again….
Sanskar : Don't worry Swara! I will make everything alright..
Swara ( hugging him ) : I know.
How is this??? Comment!!!

Vivo Philippines, in the true spirit of a Filipino Christmas, decides to give back to the heroic deeds of the soldiers who fought in Marawi by spending the afternoon with them last December 17 at the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Hospital in V. Luna, Quezon City.
The special outreach affair was attended to by Vivo employee-volunteers who interacted with the 150 soldiers and their families and entertained them with song and dance performances. The brand's celebrity influencers were also in attendance to give joy and encouragement to the Marawi freedom fighters. KZ Tandingan, Darren Espanto, Jason Dy, and Kisses Delavin also shared their talent in one afternoon of gratitude-giving, to the delight of the soldiers and their families.
From left to right: Erin Valera (host), Jason Dy (Vivo Endorser), KZ Tandingan (Vivo Endorser), Darren Espanto (Vivo Endorser), Lt. Srgnt (AFP Medical Center rep.), Hazel Bascon (Vivo VP and Head of Sales) and Neri Choy (HR Director)
Brand Director for Vivo Philippines Annie Lim, who was also present at the affair, shared her respect for these courageous soliders. "The soldiers who fought in Marawi are more than heroes–they are also fathers, sons, brothers, friends who placed their life on the line in the name of things that matter most to every Filipino: togetherness that goes beyond religion and love that knows no boundaries." she said.
Vivo Philippines also just recently came out with a heartwarming Christmas video on the plight of a soldier who fought in Marawi and his family. Vivo, by way of the special Christmas video, shares and celebrates what a truly meaningful Christmas is for Filipinos. Family, togetherness, empathy, and the spirit of giving make a Filipino Christmas like no one else in the world. Watch the video below.

Cabin In The Catskills
The little cabin in the Catskills (see Hermitage and Building the Hermitage). The door is always inviting, but especially in winter when it's snowing and the woodstove is fired up and glowing. And then you step in, close the door, start boiling some water for tea, and dig out Red Pine's The Zen Works of Stonehouse: Poems and Tales of a 14th-Century Chinese Hermit. And fluff up the sleeping bag.


text: They've known each other for years. Dad doesn't want them paying for their wedding just as long. Doug Gullett of Bristol nominated his daughter, Heather, and her fiancé, David Luchese, for The Tribune wedding contest, in part because he and his wife, Patricia, can't help with wedding expenses nearly as much as they'd like. Patricia has MS, and medication takes a huge chunk out of the family finances. What was an even bigger factor in Doug's nomination of the couple, though, has to do with Heather and David. Doug is extremely proud of the sacrifices the two have made. Heather first took a liking to David in preschool, but it was in high school that their relationship really took hold. Then, in their junior year, Heather became pregnant. "David and Heather decided they would raise their baby together. They never complained about the many things they had to give up: cheerleading, soccer, going away to college or just hanging out." The things Heather and David gave up were replaced by working and caring for their son, so they could continue school. They graduated last June -- with honors -- and this January started classes at local colleges. Of course, college means taking on another expense and having fewer hours to work. Heather and David hope to marry in July, but financing the wedding won't be easy, Doug says. So, the proud father nominated the pair. "I have seen Heather and David make many sacrifices to raise their baby, and I think they shouldn't have to sacrifice having the beautiful wedding that they deserve."

Last year, I was on maternity leave throughout the holiday season, and it was so delightful to be able to shop and wrap and bake during the day (with Claire strapped to me in the sling, since she wouldn't nap any other way!) and then focus on whole-family activities in the evenings and on the weekends. This year, I was working, of course, and had to fit everything into evenings and those all-too-fleeting weekends. So, some things fell by the wayside. I didn't do any baking, for instance, and not so many crafty things with Kate. Oh well. Pressure and stress have no place at Christmas, so we've just been having fun with what we have been able to do.
Here are a few highlights, in pictures:
|Getting our tree, tied on top of Ari (AKA Ari the Entourage or Ari the Cari)
|Making a gingerbread house. One of the prettiest I've seen, if I do say so!
|2nd Annual Cookie Baking with Granna (who has a matching apron ready for Claire when she's bigger)
|Addressing Christmas cards while watching my favorite Christmas movie, "Love Actually."
|Getting coordinating Christmas jammies from Nala.
|Going to Louisville to attend a fun Santa Safari event.
|We ate cookies and did a craft, and met fun characters.
|Including Mrs. Claus, Frosty, and Chilly Willy (a penguin)
|And then there was the big guy himself!
Kate's one wish this year has been "star tights." We'll see if she gets them! :0)
|Then we saw a 4D mini-movie of The Polar Express. Kate was pretty freaked out by the special effects.
|And we ended the day with ice skating at Fourth Street Live in downtown Louisville. Kate struggled at first, but by the end of the hour, she was inching along without any support! We'll definitely go again this winter.
|On the 14th, we had Kate's Christmas program at school.
|We saw reindeer one Saturday, when they came to a local parking lot!
|We played at a good-old-fashioned toy store in downtown Franklin, Tenn.
|We took our 2nd Annual Jammies Christmas Light Drive.
|Always a highlight of my holiday season: wrapping presents. I love it!
|The extent of my baking/treat-making this year:
these Strawberry Santa Hats for the girls' Christmas parties at school.
|And these Corn Flake Holly Bundles.
Merry Christmas, all. I hope you are having a splendid holiday.

Philips and the Monkey Pen is a children's film that showcases the innocence of childhood. The central character is Ryan Philips (played by Sanoop, actress Sanusha's brother), a mischievous school boy who has a special dread for Mathematics. His parents (played by Jayasurya & Remya Nambisan) are good folks who love him and generally let him do whatever it is that he does.
Ryan is exceptionally bad at mathematics. He is terrified of the subject and hates the teacher (played by Vijay Babu) who regularly mocks and canes him for not doing his homework. Ryan's quest for a solution to his maths homework chores first takes him to his love interest - Joan. After that route fails, he stumbles up on a magic pen - The Monkey Pen, from his grand father's (Joy Mathew) antique collection. The pen is believed to have magical powers and had even helped Robert Bristow to build Kochi's Willingdon island. The rest of the story is about how Ryan's days are transformed by the pen and the magic it does to his life.
Sanoop as Ryan Philips has delivered a decent performance although some of his lines seemed to be artificial and forced. Jayasurya has done a fair though not spectacular job while Remya Nambisan didn't have to do much with her role. Vijay Babu as the mathematics teacher was convincing while Mukesh's character as the school principle wasn't specifically noteworthy.
Overall I find the film only slightly above average. The film is notable for its great visuals and good performances by the child actors. However the script and direction weren't up to the mark and the story telling left a lot to be desired. The movie wanders off track in several places and the makers seem to be confused about the correct dosage of preaching to be stuffed in the movie.
When Ryan went to work at the school with his magic pen, I couldn't help but recollect Haley Joel Osment's performance in the movie Pay It Forward (just another kid-in-a-school story, no plagiarism accusations please).
PS: I wonder how they come up with the kids' names! Ryan Philips is perhaps one of those stylish (read western) christian names that have become popular these days (along with the likes of Rex, Max etc.). His friends have Amar-Akbar-Antony names, making it look like they want to maintain cultural balance in their panel for winning the next elections! The class topper is named Decimal! What's next, Binary?

from ScreenRant | by Emily Donn
If there is one thing Guardians of the Galaxy did not lack for, it was lovable and funny characters. From the opening moments, where Star-Lord danced to Redbones' Come and Get Your Love it was clear that this movie would not have typical heroes. Sure enough, audiences soon fell in love with the all too literal alien Drax, the foul mouthed and foul tempered sentient raccoon Rocket, and Groot — a living tree with limited vocabulary. Despite these characters all being criminals to some degree, their humor and heart won over the audience. Making it all the more heartbreaking when Groot sacrificed himself near the end of the film to save his friends.
In spite of having actually exploded, Groot proved to be far from gone. At the end of Guardians of the Galaxy his best friend Rocket rescued a sapling from Groot's body, one that showed off his own dance moves during the credits. The tiny creature, refered to as Baby Groot, has been heavily featured in the marketing for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. From being prominent in the trailers to gracing magazine covers, it's safe to say that Baby Groot has become a full-fledged member of the Guardians. Even if he causes more trouble than he prevents.
Both Groot and Baby Groot are voiced by actor Vin Diesel. According to Total Film (via ComicBook), Vin Diesel explained what his biggest challenge is with voicing both his tallest and his smallest characters:
"It's very, very challenging because you're limited to three words. There's a secret script that I get where it has all of Groot's lines, but the catch of it all is the only was I can say it is: 'I am Groot.'"
Whenever Groot said his single phrase — "I am Groot" — there is a clearly different inflection and intention behind it each time. It sounds like Diesel uses this secret script to correlate the correct emotions to the words.
There are also some intense differences between Groot's voice and Baby Groot's. Diesel's naturally deep voice served Groot well, but Baby Groot's voice is much higher. The actor admits that the change in voices might not just be due to his own skills:
"I have a feeling they'll do a combination of things [to alter the sound electronically]. I mean, I do it super high-pitched."
He might have a little electronic help in making Baby Groot sound as young as he does in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. But it certainly sounds like Diesel is doing as much of the work as he can.Tags: Vin Diesel

Women generally need more iron than men. Up to 18 mg of iron per day is needed for women aged 19 yrs to 50 yrs. While men in the same age group need just 8 mg/day. Pregnant women are advised to take up to 27 mg/day for a healthy pregnancy.
Your body needs iron to complete the blood cell production process. Haemoglobin and myoglobin can be produced only with iron. Haemoglobin is found in RBCs and myglobin in muscles.
Iron has several benefits:
- It increases haemoglobin levels and prevents fatigue due to anaemia
- It boosts oxygenation of blood cells
- It enhances your energy level and boosts physical fitness
Foods rich in iron are dark leafy greens, dried fruits, egg yolk, beans, lentils, and soybean, and should be included in your daily diet.

Lookie what I got in the mail today!
Bessie, from thelaughingmouse, is the creator of this beautiful clutch and I am in loooove with it! When Bessie contacted me recently about possibly doing a trade, I jumped on it! I checked out her shop but took forever deciding on which fabulous item in her shop I wanted! There were, like, 5 things that I just kept going back and forth to and finally decided on this. I'm actually using it to house my MacBook and it's perfect! It's so stylish that you would never guess that there was a laptop hiding away in there!
Bessie wrote about her trade (a Blue Paisley 2009 Planner & matching gift set) on her blog – check it out here. And while you're at, check out her Etsy shop too at the link above!

A huge number of thesis writers strive hard in providing adequate context and details prior to having the ability to provide a satisfying account of their research. The inclination that your research is complex that any elaboration will need extensive background and can be a weakness of a graduate student. Understanding the fact that writing thesis is explanation will need a compressed fashion and most probably straight forward.
Understanding the fact that your thesis can be elaborated in a compressed manner is usually a step forward if for no other reasons than it provides you with the right answer. It is recommendable for thesis writers to take each and every possible opportunity to look into consideration the topics under time constraints.
When you approach the introduction of a thesis, it is important to start from the basic assumption the reader should not expect not to hear until they get to the full context of the research paper. You have to look for ways of giving the readers the real picture prior to the deep context of the research paper. When a thesis writer tries to give the full context prior to explaining the whole paper, two things might happen. First off the reader will strive hard to see the importance of all they are being told. Second, the reader will likely strive to look for the connection between various aspects of the research paper.
Introduction to the introduction:
The initial step is typically a short version comprising of the three paragraphs, some transitions and the final section entails the full context of the research paper.
Here the writer provides a full context in a flowing manner from what had been indicated in the opening section of the research paper. The extent of the context provided usually depends on what the introduction entails. If there will be a full review of the paper, the details provided in the paper should be extensive. The next step after the introduction is the discussion and analysis of various methods and the whole context will be complete in this level
Restatement of the problem:
The reader should always be ready to understand the significance of the problem statement. The statement should echo what has been said in the opening section of the research paper, but it will have much resonance for the readers who have a better understanding of the research context.
Restatement of the response:
The response might be restated in a more meaningful way especially for the readers who have a better understanding of the main objective of the paper.
Roadmap: This is a brief indication of how the entire these will proceed.
While this procedure might seem to be a bit rigid, it is important to understand that such an approach is warranted when writing a thesis. Using this kind of a structure can provide a thesis writer with a better opportunity to have a better understanding what they are saying. In other words, thesis writers tend to feel co tented after the full construction of the introduction along the lines. For some, it might prove to be important when presenting their introduction in the final draft something that can improve their skills upon completion of everything.
Using this structure can be helpful to the writer when crafting their introduction that responds to the reader's requirement rather than the demands of the whole material. A better introduction to another introduction is typically to the whole topic and not the piece of writing. Introducing the introduction of a thesis is one of the major ways of meeting the necessary responsibilities in order to guide the reader through the whole research paper. The reader's journey is also a long one, and therefore, it is important to ensure the readers set off with the better understanding of the research.
What types of information should you incorporate in your introduction?
In the introduction of a thesis, you, all be trying the major concept which is known as
- Establishing your territory.
- Establish your niche
- Introduce your current research
Each of these key points has various stages. Depending on what you need to indicate in the introduction and might use one or more stages. Most introductions include some of the stages stated below. There great differences between institutions and between thesis, depending on the main purpose of the thesis.
Stages in a thesis introduction
- Indicate the general topic and provide the background
- Give the review of literature related to the main topic.
- Describe the terms and the main scope of the topic
- Outline the situation
- Evaluate the situation as discussed in the thesis.
- Identify the significance of the proposed topic.
- State the problem statement of the research.
- Describe the hypothesis
- Provide an outline in the order of information
- Outline the order of the information in the thesis.
According to customessayorder.com, the introduction moves from the basic information to the provision of a background regarding the field of research to specific information regarding the research project. The final touch of an introduction of the thesis will provide a plan .Try to make the research interesting and informative as well as outlining ways the research is organized.

Historically Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have had higher levels of NHS funding per capita thanEngland. The research confirms this but shows other striking and troubling differences between the four nations, some accentuated since devolution.Well done Devolution.
In particular, these were higher numbers of doctors, nurses and managers per head of population, lower crude productivity per staff member (particularly in Scotland), and a higher percentage of the population waiting for care in Wales and Northern Ireland than in England.
The analysis presented in this report suggests that England's NHS spends less and has fewer staff per capita than the health services in the devolved countries, but that it makes better use of its resources with respect to delivering higher levels of activity and productivity and lower waiting times. Comparing the devolved nations with regions of England that are similar on a range of health and socio-economic indicators, the differences highlighted in the analysis are even more pronounced.

The devolved institutions are still full of politicians who aren't used to making decisions that have consequences; they all would rather still make populist decisions that provide good sound bites on the tea-time news.

A question for you concerning the health service(s) - if the UK government introduced GP consultation fees for "those who can pay" for England - would you be at the barricades demanding they be introduced for Northern Ireland whatever the NI Assembly decided.

Well spotted:)
I got it from:
and I'm guessing its findings are as relevant today?
I want to pay as little as possible of my hard-earned to the state BUT if I am paying exactly the same income taxes as other UK citizens then I should have exactly the same rights and responsibilities as other UK citizens.

So theoretically since local government gets most of its money from the Treasury one way or another, do you think it is unfair that in some parts of the UK you get charged for using a council-owned public toilet but it is free in other parts.
Back in the day of regional councils, Moray charged to use their facilities but Aberdeen did not. Fair on principal?
- March 2, 2011 at 3:35 PM

There's surely a world of difference between being denied a free public toilet due to regional discrimination and being denied equal medical treatment due to regional discrimination?

As contemporary design and technology progress, so-called "eco-friendly" home building options increasingly appear on industry. These options typically advertise their environmental benefits while burying their cost and true efficacy. As studies begin to show the specific functionality of green building, it really is becoming easy to start to see the differences between problem-oriented, climate-friendly ideas and merchandise that profit from popular trends.

Sustainability can frequently stretch beyond the dollar; a frequently unmentioned benefit for an eco-friendly roof would be that the factories growing there might be incorporated back into the budget of the home or building owner. Discussing your plans which has a roofing company before hand enables you to utilize natural growth for farming purposes, maintaining a feasible garden without using any land. = roofing -
