Around her 31st birthday, Hollywood actress Kate Hudson, it seems, got for herself a rather unusual gift. Hudson’s recent pictures have shown her looking fuller and have led to rumours that the “Raising Helen” star has gone in for breast implants. Well, insiders are believed to have let out that the “How to lose a guy in 10 days” actress has, in fact, gone through a ‘small boob job’ last month right after losing her guy, baseball player A-Rod. Not that this is a first of its kind incident in Hollywood, but it does raise eyebrows since she has often been heard endorsing small breasts for sheer comfort of ‘wearing plunging necklines’!

global warming will result from unchecked human activities, particularly the combustion of coal, petroleum, and natural gas. The carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is now over 37% above the pre-industrial value determined from air bubbles trapped in ice cores, and the methane (CH4) concentration is over 150% higher. That these higher concentrations will lead to global warming is clear from Earth’s history, from conditions on Mars and Venus, and from theoretical analyses. The changed concentrations are, however, not the only factors that affect climate. Both natural factors and other human activities (such as emission of sulfur dioxide and black carbon [soot], and changes in land cover) can also alter the climate. Actual conditions thus depend on the changing mix of these influences over time, all slowed by the time it takes for the oceans to warm, snow and ice to melt, and other factors to adjust.
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has asked his young followers to marry sex workers. Addressing a huge crowd of devotees in his hometown, he said: “It’s important to understand that poor women and girls, who are trapped into a life of perpetual slavery, have no opportunity to escape this dreary existence. A benevolent society can help them out.”
influence and funding notwithstanding, has been given a new and exciting opportunity by G-20 nations of rebuilding the emerging economies which are tattering under the shackles of recession. $750 billion will be pumped into IMF’s kitty to try and do that. The new Managing Director of IMF, Dominique Strauss Kahn is trying his best to restore its old glory by shifting its ideology that can satisfy even its hardest critic. It has certainly done so with Joseph Stighitz, a Nobel Laureate who had a long time antipathy for IMF’s policies, thus declaring the new polices as ‘welcome’ in Wall Street Journal. The criticism was particularly sharp for inveterate IMF’s policies of imposing conditions against granting loans. So much so, that it often used to instruct governments to cut-back on public spending as a pre-requisite for granting loans. This kind of dealings with fragile Third World economies has often proved to be its nemesis. East Asian crisis and Argentine collapse are the examples of IMF’s flawed policies based out of the US and Western Europe’s dictates.
difficult. Just a query about this “maker of sarees from banana fiber” is enough to get us specific directions, right down to the last turn. Tucked behind a few shops lies his dilapidated rented one-room factory-house and the only way to reach it is a narrow pathway with an open sewer running along. When we entered the asbestos-roofed room, Shekhar, the unconventional saree weaver was swinging cotton threads in a hand charkha.
business. There are over 460 large business houses having significant asset value in the country. Interestingly, most of them are controlled by women- a trend which is forcing companies to engage more women into the workplace. Researches show that there are 20,000 firms which account for around five per cent of all registered businesses today in Saudi Arabia, controlled or owned by businesswomen. Interestingly, membership of women in local commerce chambers is on the rise. For example, Jeddah Chamber has 2,000 women members out of a total of 50,000. The same can be seen in Riyadh where there are 2,400 women members out of 35,000 — showing a fourfold increase in just ten years. Business-women in the Eastern Province chamber has increased to 1,000 (out of 14,000). This gradual emergence of Saudi businesswomen forced the Government to revise its years-old labour laws and business proceedings and include women too. Many chambers also came out with centres to facilitate women. Jeddah Chamber of Commerce established Khadija Bint Khwailid Centre to guide and facilitate Saudi businesswomen.
was passing through the main commercial district of Dallas, driving from the airport to the city centre. A bystander alleged that shots were fired from the casement of a construction across the road. The President buckled into Jackie Kennedy’s arms, who was heard crying out “Oh no”. The President’s limousine was immediately driven at speed to the Parklands Hospital. He died 35 minutes after being shot. Within hours of the shooting, a cop approached Lee Harvey Oswald, believing he matched the description of the killer. The cop was shot dead. Oswald was arrested straightaway, suspected of being the assassin. Shortly afterwards, he was charged. The suspect was never tried as he was shot dead two days later.
who was shot down by a policeman in the Exarhia district on December 6, 2008, fortifies that he was killed by a direct shot and not otherwise. And the rest is still 'not' history. Within the first one-and-a-half-hour, the Greeks were on the roads of Athens, protesting and burning Greece. Later, all cities of Greece were engulfed in demonstrations and riots (similar to one in 1985). The noteworthy point is that this riot was just not confined to Greece and its vicinity, but spread across the whole of Europe (Paris, Rome, Berlin, Frankfurt, Madrid, Barcelona, Copenhagen et al).
sect got the name ‘Navayaths’, or newcomers. Their roots were firmly anchored in the Arab world. But now Bhatkal and Navayath are synonymous and this community of around one lakh is distinct from other Muslim communities of the country. There were many theories about their actual place of origin and the process of settlement.
apparently inspired in Bollywood) spun their tires on the silver screen some 5-6 years ago and left some seriously impressionable kids (and more than a few adults) drooling at the sight of amazingly curvy, deliciously proportioned and meticulously modified cars, nothing has ever been the same. Oscar Wilde said, “Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” Well, in this case it has been both in equal measure. The Fast and the Furious was inspired by the American culture (specifically Californian) of modifying cars, where enthusiasts and gear heads lovingly tuned and modified almost every nut and bolt of their cars, to get them to look and feel just right, just like a modern day Picasso. Transplanted to India by two blockbuster movies, the same culture took hold without the requisite base to support it. Meaning, that after seeing the movies, everybody wanted to modify their cars but didn’t have the faintest clue as to how to go about it resulting in a lot of copycats. “I hardly meet any car owner who has any knowledge about car modifications; they look at others and come to me saying that they want this look or that look. They pick up technical terms like turbochargers and free flow exhausts from the internet and ask me to install the component, without knowing what it does,” laments Piyush, owner of a car modification garage in Lajpat Nagar. Finding the problem widespread in our research, we at B&E magazine decided to give our readers a brief intro course on the do’s and don’ts of modifying cars and how to keep things in your specific budget while still managing to look cool.

to the poor in the country, which the poor can’t do to the banks? Can’t guess? Read on... A paper by Burgess and Pande of the London School of Economics titled ‘Can Rural Banks Reduce Poverty?’ proves that “rural branch expansion in India between 1977 and 1990 significantly reduced rural poverty”. Sadly, even today, while corporate entities from all segments are foraying into the Indian hinterlands, national banks are literally crawling ahead at a pace which even a snail would mock!
