[h=3]What UK wants from India; More trade but less people[/h] May is expected to use the trip to deliver on her ambitious vision for Britain after Brexit by introducing new and emerging enterprises, as well as more established players, to the key Indian market. While announcing the visit, she had said, 'We have the chance to forge a new global role for the UK -- to look beyond our continent and towards the economic and diplomatic opportunities in the wider world.' The visit is expected to unveil Britain's post-Brexit 'new global role' and where India figures in that. On trade, May has declared that the UK will become the 'most passionate, most consistent, and most convincing advocate for free trade', and during the current visit she will be focusing on small- and medium-sized businesses and her delegation will include representation from every region of the UK.

    [h=3]Grandson of Gandhi, a former top NASA scientist, dies in poverty[/h] NEW DELHI -- Kanubhai Ramdas Gandhi was the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, the man revered as the “Father of the Nation” by many in India, but he died quietly on Monday in a small hospital in a small town where he couldn’t even afford to pay his medical bills. It was an inglorious ending for a man who, in addition to carrying the most famous name in India, also lived richly for 25 years as a top scientist for NASA. Kanubhai Gandhi was the son of Mahatma Gandhi’s third son Ramdas. The only enduring image of Kanubhai for most Indians is one taken of him as a child, leading his grandfather and holding onto his walking stick for him during the historic Salt Satyagraha in Mumbai in 1930.

Eventually, the copter was able to find a suitable landing site about half a mile from where the crash took place. Meanwhile, a deputy from the Crooks County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the crash scene on foot. The officer said Heeter was conscious and communicative, but appeared to be going into shock, according to KTVZ.

[h=3]New Delhi is the most polluted city on Earth right now[/h] (CNN)Fresh air doesn't exist in New Delhi at the moment. India's capital is choking under off-the-charts smog, with some parts of the city reporting levels almost five times those considered "unhealthy" by the US environmental protection agency. Measurements taken at the US Embassy in Delhi put the city's Air Quality Index at 999 on Monday, off the standard chart, which finishes at the "hazardous" level of 500. By comparison, the highest AQI level recorded Monday in Baoding -- China's most polluted city -- was 298.

    [h=3]How to Eat If You're Trying to Lose Weight, According to a Dietitian[/h] Like most people trying to lose weight, I listened to the experts. Instead of eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I started scheduling meals and snacks so I was eating five or six times a day. This worked out to noshing on something every couple hours - 7 a.m. breakfast, 9 a.m. snack, 12 p.m. lunch, 3 p.m. snack, 5:30 p.m. dinner, and sometimes a late-night snack. The purpose was to ensure my hunger was satiated to prevent feeling so famished at each meal that I'd overeat. But then I realized I was eating all day long and never feeling hungry. I was also not losing weight. I was watching the clock instead of listening to my body. So which is better? When I asked certified dietitian Leslie Langevin,

[h=3]Ancient insect bite sheds light on mass extinction event that killed dinosaurs[/h] In the aftermath of the devastating Cretaceous/Palaeogene mass extinction 66 million years ago, biodiversity recovered quicker in the Southern hemisphere, scientists have found out. Ancient insect bites present on fossils suggest insects were thriving in this corner of Earth, just four million years after a large meteor, which may have triggered the mass extinction event, struck the planet. The Cretaceous extinction is associated with the end of dinosaurs, but many other species also died. In the past, scientists have shown that in North America, it took nine million years for plants and insects to recover. They have also suggested that the extinction event might have been less severe in the

In Maine and Nevada, residents will vote on whether to mandate universal background checks for firearm sales, including private handgun transactions. In California, a referendum would ban large-capacity ammunition magazines and require certain people to pass a background check to buy ammunition.

Notes worth 500 and 1,000 rupees will be invalid starting at midnight local time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced during a televised address to the nation. The unexpected move is designed to fight against corruption and money laundering, Modi said, calling them "diseases" and "obstacles" to the country's economic success. Modi said that policy changes had largely failed to root out corruption. Two years ago, he said, India was ranked 100th in terms of global corruption perception, and the country has only improved to 76th. The idea is that Indians who have stockpiled undeclared income will now be

    [h=3]To Make America Great Again, Write Off The Private Debt[/h] Dear President Trump, The key source of America’s economic weakness today is something you have experience with: private debt. All leaders before you have obsessed about government debt while ignoring private debt, which is far higher (150% of GDP versus 100%) and far more dangerous. You can do something about this, and unlike your purely political predecessors, your experience tells you that it can be done-the only question is how to do it. Figure 1 The private debt mound sitting on top of American households and businesses is the reason demand is depressed right now. With that debt mountain weighing them down, firms are reluctant to borrow and invest, while households are reluctant to use credit

[h=3]Scottish goat with 'psychic' powers boldly predicts U.S. election result[/h] Don't even worry about watching the U.S. election results roll in tonight; we already know the outcome, and it comes courtesy of a psychic Scottish goat named Boots. OK, so the main basis for the goat being "psychic" seems to be that he's previously predicted the correct result for Brexit (which, if you want to be pedantic, was only a 50/50 decision) - but at the same time, that means his prediction record is 100% correct, so are we to argue? SEE ALSO: If the U.S. election was a fairytale read by Benedict Cumberbatch In the clip above, Boots doesn't even hesitate; with a determination most pollsters would be awed by, he plods straight over to Hillary. Then again, maybe Boots is biased - Scotland doesn't exactly have a history of favouring Trump.

First it was revealed that Clinton repeatedly requested that her maid, Marina Santos, print out emails and documents that contained sensitive information. Several emails that Clinton asked Santos to print out were later deemed classified. In 2011, Clinton emailed senior adviser Huma Abedin to “Pls [sic] ask Marina to print for me in am,” referring to a document that was unclassified, but still marked sensitive. In 2012, Clinton aide Monica Hanley told Clinton “We can ask Marina to print this,” referring to an email about the new president of Malawi. And in April
