Pandey is all set for her Bollywood debut. Although director Amit Saxena declined to divulge details about her role in the film, Saxena conceded that it would be in keeping with her image.
Interestingly, she is the only one from the cast signed on as of now, and the director assures that the rest of the actors will be finalised shortly.

The key to learning to code is learning to think like a computer--which is a hard thing to do. "It requires structured thinking, ability to abstract details away, and there’s little margin for error--one little typo and your program might do something entirely different from what you wanted," says game developer Rui Viana. "The real world just doesn’t work like that, so it’s hard to get your head around it." Which is precisely why Viana created Cargo-Bot, a simple iPad app that turns "thinking like a computer" into a genuinely addictive puzzle game. It’s like Angry Birds crossed with Codecademy, and it’s total genius.
Most of the press that Cargo-Bot has gotten so far focuses on the fact that the game was itself programmed entirely on an iPad (using another app called Codea). That’s pretty great, but it’s missing the larger point: who cares what device you can or can’t program stuff on, if you neverwant to program anything? That’s the problem that Cargo-Bot so brilliantly solves. It’s designed to make programming seem not just doable, but fun: something you’d want to do just to enjoy yourself, not as a means to some other end ("This is how I’ll make the next In$tagram!"). Not even Codecademy manages that.
Cargo-Bot’s Tetris-like simplicity is the key to its charm. The goal is to tell a robot arm how to move colored boxes around on a platform into different patterns. That’s it. It does contain a few technical-sounding terms (like "program" and "loop"), but mostly, says Viana, "I wanted it to be a game about moving blocks around with a claw, and make you forget that you are in fact programming."
The first time I played Cargo-Bot, I lost myself in it for an hour--but not because it magically turned me into a good programmer. Quite the opposite: I spent most of that time "debugging," or correcting malfunctions or inefficiencies in my code. In most coding tutorials, this feels like drudgery--your program doesn’t work, you don’t know why, and you have no choice but to scour each barely intelligible line of code to find the error. But in Cargo-Bot, debugging is the fun part. By watching the cartoony robotic claw execute your instructions, you can literally seeyour code in action--and see exactly where and when it fails. Watching the claw do something you didn’t expect, or crash into the side of the wall and break, immediately makes you want to fix it. Even better, Cargo-Bot rewards you not just for solving puzzles, but for solving them efficiently: shorter programs earn you more points.
Sound like the dorkiest thing ever? Maybe. But in the 21st century,programming is the new literacy. "Cargo-Bot is a great way to demo what programming is about in a fun and visual way," says Viana. "If you 'get’ Cargo-Bot, you can go through other coding tutorials and pick up a lot from them by yourself." In other words, it’s the ultimate gateway drug. Consider this five-star review of the app in iTunes:
That nearly brought a tear to my eye. Four years old. Cargo-Bot isn’t just fun. It’s damn near noble.
After the central government allowed state-run oil marketing companies to hike petrol prices by Rs 6.28 per litre, leading to an overall increase of about Rs 7.50 per litre because of a consequent increase in state taxes, there have been growing calls for states to reduce their taxes on the fuel to ease the aam aadmi’s burden.
But are states — or the centre — really in a position to cut taxes? A Business Standard report on Monday provided details on how much is actually charged as tax on petrol in various states. It pointed out that several states now charge more taxes on petrol than the centre.
According to the report, the central government levies a fixed excise duty of about Rs 14.78 per litre of petrol. In comparison, states impose an ad valorem (value-added) tax, which increases every time the price of the fuel increases. The extent of the tax (plus surcharges) varies across states. In West Bengal, for instance, the state’s tax on the fuel increased to Rs 16.08 per litre after the fuel price hike, which is higher than the central excise duty. (The state’s firebrand leader, Mamata Banerjee, while demanding a rollback of the petrol price hike, has said nothing about reducing state taxes to offer relief to the common man).
In Mumbai, the state’s tax on petrol now totals Rs 16.70 per litre, the newspaper said. In Hyderabad, it’s as high as Rs 19.83, while Delhi has the lowest state tax on petrol of Rs 12.20 per litre.
As the report notes, “state governments levy sales tax/VAT on petrol ranging from 15 per cent in Puducherry to 33 per cent in Andhra Pradesh, making it a major source of income”. No wonder they don’t want to give it up.
While the central government is leaning heavily on Congress-ruled states to cut taxes, the fact is that the precarious fiscal position of most states leaves little room for them to lower taxes.
Maharashtra’s chief minister, Prithviraj Chavan, for instance, told reporters that cutting taxes on petrol was unfeasible because that would mean lower funds for development, adding that value added tax brought in more than 70 percent of the state’s revenues, according to The Hindustan Times.
Of course, at least one state has slashed sales tax dramatically in recent months: BJP-ruled Goa. A few months ago, it cut nearly its entire tax on petrol, making the fuel cheaper by Rs 11 per litre. But no other state really followed Goa’s example.
After the recent hike, Kerala and Uttarakhand did waive off the increase in VAT, which lowered the price by about Rs 1.60-1.90 per litre in those states. It’s very possible, however, that instead of Congress-ruled states, Opposition-ruled states might be more willing to consider VAT cuts, not because they can, but to generate some political mileage.
For now though, the pressure is on to keep the focus on the central government. Some opposition political parties — and some Congress allies — are ready to go on strike to ensure the central government rolls back the petrol price hike.
As the political games continue, consumers pay the (high) price.
Do NOT get drunk. This type of passenger makes the news most often, it seems, as it's the easiest way to make a fool of yourself. While having a cocktail before your flight may relax you, remember you're about board a flight and have a hundred or so other people around you. Flying should not be considered a party scene.
Do NOT curse at flight attendants. Being belligerent will get you no where and often can get you a one-way ticket off the airplane. I boarded a flight once where a passenger told the flight attendant to "F- off" when being asked to change seats. The captain decided the passenger wasn't fit to fly and booted her off the flight.
Do NOT allow your kids to act out. Traveling with children can be stressful for parents, but it's important to ensure their actions aren't causing discomfort to fellow passengers. Kicking seatbacks or climbing over seats should probably be restricted.
Do NOT attempt to get into the cockpit. As I type this there is breaking news a passenger aboard an American Airlines flight bound for Miami attempted to gain access to the flight deck. This is a sure fire way you'll find yourself in zip-tie handcuffs until authorities cart you away after landing.
Do NOT wear offensive clothing. I'm all for free speech, but there's a time and place for making a statement. Save it for a rally — airports and airplanes are not appropriate places to wear clothing with expletives written on them.
Do NOT mention the 'B-word'. No, I'm not talking about a female cow, but rather the b-o-m-b word. It has no place in conversation in this post-9/11 world.
Nifty Trading Tips & Outlook:

How to measure the Universe? A short animated video will describe the technique.
This animation by Royal Observatory Greenwich explains the fundamental tools astronomers use to decode data from dots of light--principles like parallax and redshift. And don’t worry, nothing requires a science degree to understand because the video was built upon simple metaphors like light bulbs and fire engines.
But beyond the explanation itself, it’s remarkable how we’ve scaled the smallest of observations around us into an educated view of objects that are millions of lifetimes beyond our grasp. And it’s just as remarkable how astrophysicists can so concisely explain the concepts of the heavens in plain-person speak. Have you ever noticed, whether it’s a Discovery Channel special or a New York Times article, it’s rare that you’ll spot an interview with an astrophysicist that isn’t rich with these metaphors of scale?
Even for the smartest among us, our brains just aren’t quite big enough to conceptualize the true scale of forces working within the universe. So whether it’s through clever animations, scientific notation, or scrolling infographics, we all need the occasional mental crutch to grasp ideas larger than ourselves. Or, put differently, even the largest questions in our known universe asked by the greatest minds on our planet teeter on the clarity of good design. And maybe some bigger telescopes wouldn’t hurt.
PrePex, a non-surgical adult male circumcision device that was invented in 2009, might be the one thing that could help Africa reach that 20 million mark. The device requires no injected anestesia, no sutures, no sterile settings, no hospitals, no physicians, and it’s completely bloodless. A well-trained nurse needs to attach it, but the whole procedure can be conducted in under five minutes. It takes a few minutes to attach, the patient leaves, returns in a week, and then it takes just another few minutes to remove (along with foreskin). The process is virtually painless, with just two to five seconds of mild discomfort when the device is detached--think about how a bandaid hurts for a few seconds when it’s ripped off.
"Henry Ford had a quote in the 1930s: 'If I ask my customers what they want, they would say they want faster horses.' The analogy here is that public health officials were struggling to scale up surgical procedures. They were looking for faster, easier ways to conduct surgery. No one really saw that you can create a non-surgical [circumcision] procedure," explains Tzameret Fuerst, CEO of Circ MedTech, the company behind PrePex.The key to the device, which has proven to be significantly safer than surgical circumcision, is in its simplicity. A ring compresses the foreskin, stopping the flow of blood. The foreskin dies in a matter of hours, and it can safely be removed within a week. It’s much like the way umbilical cords are removed from newborns: The cord is clamped to stop circulation, and in a few days it dries up, turns black, and falls off.
Indeed, potential competitors like the Shang Ring --a two-ring clamp--require surgery.
Fuerst declines to provide an exact price for the PrePex (it’s currently under negotiations with government officials), but she says that "the highest possible cost is still roughly half the cost of surgery."Last month, WHO gave Rwanda its approval to scale up the use of PrePex, which has already successfully circumcised 1,200 men in the country. In Zimbabwe, a large PrePex trial funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the UNFPA has already seen 500 circumcisions performed. People have been literally lining up to participate in PrePex studies. At one point in the Rwanda study, organizers had to conduct a lottery to decide who could participate.
PrePex is FDA cleared and CE Mark certified--meaning Circ MedTech could market this device tomorrow in the U.S. and EU if it wanted to--but for now, the company plans to focus on developing countries. "We are laser focused on an imminent burning need," says Fuerst. “Every 16 seconds someone dies of AIDS. We have a rare opportunity to make a monumental impact in the battle against this life threatening disease."
