Broadway took the threat of the mammoth storm seriously, with theater owners canceling all Sunday evening and Monday performances of shows like The Book of Mormon , Once and Mama Mia! long before a drop of rain fell in Times Square.

"The safety and security of theatre goers and employees is everyone's primary concern," said Charlotte St. Martin, executive director of The Broadway League, which represents producers.

Forecasts called for rain late Sunday or early Monday, and subway and public transportation service is to be halted Sunday evening, potentially stranding theatergoers. Refunds will be made available from the point of purchase.

Off-Broadway shows including Stomp, Bad Jews, Disgraced and Golden Child were also canceled Sunday night. Most matinees on and off Broadway stayed open. Mondays are usually very light on Broadway, with most shows having that as their day off.

Carnegie Hall canceled two concerts scheduled for Sunday night and rescheduled a Monday concert by Rent and Wicked star Idina Menzel, which will now take place Nov. 4.

Some Broadway shows had no evening shows scheduled Sunday, including Cyrano de Bergerac, Annie, Chaplin, Enemy of the People, Once, Jersey Boys and Nice Work If You Can Get It.

It was the most disruptive storm for the theater community since the threat of Hurricane Irene in late August 2011 prompted producers to cancel matinee and evening performances on Saturday and Sunday. While that hurricane mostly fizzled over New York, every show lost money because they were mostly limited to five or six performances that week.

Where ICSE has already announced board exam dates, students of classes X and XII studying under Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will have to wait for another 11 days to know the board examination dates as the final dates will be out only near January 15. CBSE's regional director R J Khanderao, while talking to TOI, said, "We can expect the exam dates to be out by or on January 15."

However, the news has helped in lowering down student's anxiety which otherwise has been increasing with every passing day. Atul Sharma, a Class XII student of Commerce, said, "Since December I have been regularly checking CBSE's website to know the exam date. But now I can relax as I know it will be out by January 15."

Swati Duggal, another Class XII student with non-medical, said, "I have been preparing for All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) as well. Therefore, I want to be clear about the dates so that I can prioritize and make my study time table accordingly."
Sheekha Narang, a Class XII student with Commerce, said, "I am unable to decide as to which subject I should prepare first. So if the exam date is out and I have the date sheet in front of me then I will be able to set the schedule accordingly."

Abhay Singh, a Class X student, said, "My anxiety took a toll when I got to know that ICSE has declared the examination date. Since then I have been regularly checking the CBSE website." His friend cum classmate Saurav Kant said, "I wonder if like ICSE even CBSE will schedule the exams in February as in that case there will be very less time for preparation."

In schools under Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) board exams for Class X will begin from February 27 where and exams for Class XII will begin from February 13. The dates have been scheduled in February tests.

PayPal had been handling legal issues with RBI on its operations in India, since last year. The key restriction on PayPal users from India as imposed by RBI (Reserve Bank of India) was that, they were not allowed to receive amount greater than USD $500 in a single transaction. This dictate of RBI has given Indian online merchants nightmares on how to continue their businesses with so many restrictions.
In a recent announcement from PayPal, it was revealed that the new receiving limit in a single transaction by PayPal users from India was increased from USD $500 to USD $3000.

This move from PayPal and RBI has relieved sevarl exporters of goods and services in India who rely on eBay-owned PayPal to receive payments from clients all around the globe.
The other issues however are intact. To continue using PayPal you’ll need to add your PAN (Permanent Account Number) and Purpose Code. Also, daily withdrawal requirement is still in its place.
We hope that gradually PayPal will sort-out all issues with RBI and provide its users great and speedy experience.

The common belief that people should drink eight glasses or two litres of water a day is a ‘myth’ that needs debunking, a Melbourne academic says.

The new Australian recommendations suggest that an adequate daily fluid intake is about 2.8 litres for women and 3.4 litres for men.

However, this includes fluid found in food and beverages.

La Trobe University lecturer Spero Tsindos said that people could get their daily fluid intake from fruit, vegetables, juices and even tea and coffee.

“If you’re feeling thirsty then drink by all means a beverage. It doesn’t have to be water”, Tsindos was quoted as writing in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health.

“I’m not saying you shouldn’t drink water. I’m saying the need to drink two litres of water on a regular basis is a complete myth.”

“We should be telling people that beverages like tea and coffee contribute to a person’s fluid needs and despite their caffeine content, do not lead to dehydration”, Tsindos said.

He said that drinking a large quantity of water in one sitting to reach the daily intake level was pointless because it would not be distributed where it was needed. It would just dilute the urine.

Drinking large amounts of water to lose weight would not work either without a low-calorie diet, he emphasised.

“There is further evidence that water and a well-balanced diet do far more than water alone”, Tsindos wrote.

“Water is important for health, however, the recommendation of eight glasses of pure water a day appears an overestimation of requirements”, he said.

The “eight glasses a day” notion may have stemmed from guidelines published in the US in 1945, Tsindos wrote.
The National Academy of Sciences had recommended that about 2.5 litres of water should be consumed daily.

It was a disappointment for everyone waiting for Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s first performance post -wedding at People’s Choice Awards on Saturday.

For the first time in its history, students from schools affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education [CBSE] will get a chance to participate, express their opinion and give inputs during their periodic meetings. The Course Committees constituted for major subjects will now have a student representative.

CBSE for the first time since its inception, has included a student nominee in its Course Committees. CBSE has Course Committees for all its courses including vocational subjects. Each committee is reconstituted every three years. The committee discusses, debates, collects various inputs and ideas related to subject disciplines and reviews them to suit the needs of its students, parents and society.

These students, who have passed out of Class XII in March 2012, based on their performance and in consultation with the schools, are being nominated by CBSE.

CBSE is confident that the student nominees will actively contribute towards the development of its courses. CBSE also considers the involvement of students in framing the syllabus essential, since the nominees will have a clear understanding of the future prospects of the subject alongwith the limitations.

The Course Committee consists of Professors from Universities, experts from National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), teachers and subject experts from Kendriya Vidyalaya Sanghatan, Private and Public Schools and practising teachers.

‘We wish to make the courses and syllabus more inclusive and application-based. Since, the course and syllabus prepared by Committees is to be followed by students, we will hear their voice. I am sure the inputs given by the students will help designing the courses better,’ said Vineet Joshi, Chairman, CBSE, New Delhi.

Inputs from students, one for each of the major subjects is expected to contribute to various aspects of the particular subject.

The CBSE plans to use these inputs for improving the subject content and syllabus of the concerned courses.

CBSE is keen to understand the trends amongst students regarding the scope of the major subjects it offers as well as their link with the University/vocational degrees in India and abroad. This will help improve the CCE [Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation] – based educational system initiated by the Board.

New Delhi: Adequate folic acid and vitamin B intake could help reduce vascular disease risk in Indian patients, a study released here said on Friday.

Conducted by Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and Jamia Millia Islamia, the study said foods containing vitamin B, like potato, greens, beans and fish and animal products, should be consumed regularly.

“Plasma homocysteine concentrations, responsible for plaque formation that lead to blockage of arteries have a negative relation with vitamin B12 levels in patients with stroke and deep vein thrombosis and with folate levels in patients with coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease,” said the study.

Seema Bhargava, lead author of the study and senior consultant, Department of Biochemistry, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, said, “Large-scale corrective measures like food fortification or dietary supplementation with folate and B-12 might benefit the Indian population and reduce the incidence and morbidity of vascular disease.”

“It would be pertinent to suggest that scientists, clinicians and policy-makers in our country should further evaluate the relevance of food fortification with folate and vitamin B12 so as to correct nutritional deficiencies as well as reduce risk for vascular disease — the double benefit for the double burden of disease in the developing countries.”

Rajasthan was the first state in the country to launch a food fortification programme in February, said the study.
