PM Modi meets business leaders, assures of 'continued political stability'
The prime minister assured them no decision will be taken without detailed discussion of the issues involved. In general, Prime Minister Modi underscored 'continued political stability, predictability of policy, and pro-development and pro-growth policies', the government said in a statement. Modi further emphasized the development of tourism, plastic recycling and waste management initiatives, and to enhance the business of MSMEs, especially those which create more opportunities for farmers and agriculture. He went on to urge the 'companies to leverage the Startup India innovation platforms in partnership with other countries - to make solutions not only for India, but for the world, including challenging issues like nutrition and waste management'. Those who attended the roundtable included IBM's Ginni Rometty, Walmart's Douglas McMillon, Coca Cola's James Quincey, Lockheed Martin's Marillyn Hewson, JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon, and American Tower Corporation's James D. Taiclet. Officials said the combined worth of the companies represented was $16.4 trillion, of which their net worth in India is US$ 50 billion. USIBC's Nisha Biswal told MSN after the meeting, 'They talked about how a continued path on fiscal reforms and continued progress on the ease of doing business can really help advance India's economic growth. And I think the Prime Minister listened with a lot of attention to those issues and responded to a number of those areas and talked about how he is looking to continue that reform process as he goes into his second term.'

'Carnival Row' review: Fae-ntasy meets reality
Those on the run end up living in a ghetto called Gloamingside doing menial jobs for a living. The fae women resort to sex trade given that men secretly desire their beauty and have a fetish for their wings. In this fantastical yet familiar backdrop, Orlando Bloom (Philo), a Burguish man, falls in love with Cara Delevingne (Vignette), a fae, and they navigate an eerily similar world where the marginalised are being prosecuted and killed, where refugees are being deported and where immigrants are treated as less than human. The Burguish is perhaps a metaphor for all first world countries and how their shores offer asylum to those fleeing their homelands, albeit at a price. The fae is shown to be of different sects-some have wings while some have horns and hoofs-perhaps representing the refugees who are currently fleeing their countries. There is a hint of the Victorian era with the societal customs, costumes and carriages but no real historical connection is established throughout the show. There's also a major religion in Burgue known as Martyrite Faith. The phrase 'oh my martyr' is constantly repeated and statues of a 'martyr' are hung in holy places, perhaps referring to Catholicism. Chernobyl star Jarred Harris (Absalom Breakspear) appears as the chancellor of Burgue and a 'Game of Thrones-esque' power struggle is explored. There's even incest thrown in to ensure you are reminded of King's Landing but the real star that emerges in the corridors of power is Indira Verma (Piety Breakspear). She plays the ruthless mother and lover with such deftness that one is reminded of Lady Macbeth. Alas, there are no ghosts but there are witches known as Haruspex. And what's a show without cute animals? it only for the goblin-like kobolds, if nothing else.

You are what you breathe, says Delhi-based environmentalist Jai Dhar Gupta
This initiative will organise 'masked' runs every fortnight till March 2020. The aim is to create awareness on the benefits of wearing a mask and how one can breathe clean while engaging in outdoor activities. Second, in the series, the 40-minute run was flagged off from the India Gate Memorial at 7:00 am and concluded at Janpath, on Sunday, September 29, with 40 candidates. ASICS running influencer and marathoner Christine Pemberton led the race."Whoever joins in the run is given a mask to wear. When we run together with masks, passersby give us thumbs up because they understand what we are doing. Our aim is to make these runners agents for change," adds Gupta. Smog is just one week away Gupta, whose lungs had collapsed while preparing for a marathon in 2014, says the initiative tries to educate people that food and water are just a small part of their daily sustenance model."By October 3, monsoons will leave Delhi, and in a week's time the city will start turning grey and smoggy, and breathing problems will be on the rise," warns Gupta. With high PM 2.5 levels, it will become almost impossible for people to engage in outdoor activities like running, cycling and outdoor sports."PM 2.5 is the black soot that accumulates on the fan blades of your ceiling fans or exhaust fans at your home. These black nano-carbon particles are a manmade pollutant and are so tiny that our body can't filter them. These can only be filtered using air purifiers indoors and masks outdoor. Apart from that, there are air quality apps that give data on ambient air quality. And if the air quality is bad, you should avoid going out and stop kids from going out to play," he adds. In 2015, WHO came out with a survey that Delhi is the city with worst air quality in the world. For five years, Delhi has been among the top five highly polluted cities in the world. "The most amenable weather for playing outdoors is from October-March, which is also the worst time for air quality in Delhi. Playing is very important for cognitive development of people, especially children but if they are indulging in these activities without protection, it will affect them." Incentivise good behaviour penalise bad behaviour Nirvana Being's new programme My Right to Breathe, with Deputy CM Manish Sisodia puts emergency kits comprising a basic puffer and a nebuliser in schools.Meanwhile, Gupta says the government should strongly tackle the recurring issues like burning biomass, vehicular pollution, and industrial emissions. "In Singapore, the government has incentivised good behaviour and penalised bad behaviour. We need such measures."

Roing girl sets PM Narendra Dodi 'homework
I noticed that it contains many valuable tips for students. However, for parents and teachers, the book does not have much. So, if you are thinking of launching another edition, please include a few suggestions for parents and teachers along with the new content," Modi said, reading out the letter.Exam Warriors, published by Penguin India, runs into 208 pages. It was launched in February 2018.The book, written in an interactive style with illustrations, activities and yoga exercises, intends to reach out to students and prepare them to face the difficulties ahead of exams. "Even my young friends have vested their trust in me. The Pradhan Sevak, the principal servant of the country, will do whatever they ask for," Modi said. "My young student friends, first of all, I thank you for writing to me. Thank you for reading Exam Warriors more than twice and special thanks for pointing out the shortcomings of the book. My little friend has entrusted me with a task. I shall certainly comply with your order. As you told me, I shall try to write something for parents and teachers as and when I get time to pen a new edition," the Prime Minister added.Modi has called upon all students, teachers and parents to come up with their experiences and suggestions on how to remain stress-free during exams."I shall duly go through their suggestions and try to incorporate them in the book in my own words. If suggestions come in large numbers, they will be incorporated in the new edition. I shall eagerly wait for your thoughts to flow. Once again, I express my gratitude to our little friend Aleena Taayang from Arunachal," Modi said.

No BJP tea tribe candidate for the four Assembly constituencies
Shamsul Hoque is the Congress's Jania candidate.In previous Lok Sabha elections, all three BJP candidates from the tea garden community had won. "A majority of the tea garden people voted for the BJP in the past elections. However, they did not choose a single candidate from the community.

Gogoi has said the Congress is "open to alliance with any party to defeat the BJP".The Congress on Monday released the list of 40 star campaigners.
