Canada placed 49th out of 56 national housing mar- kets included in the Knight Frank Global House Price Index, which ranks countries by annual home price changes each quarter. In the second quarter, Canadian home prices were up only 0.5 per cent compared to the same period last year, according to Knight Frank, a property consultancy headquartered in the U.K. Poland, which saw prices rise 0.4 per cent on a year-over-year basis, and Brazil and Switzerland, where prices climbed 0.2 per cent, were the only markets that placed lower than Canada while posting an increase. “Only four markets registered a decline in annual prices — Morocco, Italy, Finland and Australia,” writes Kate Everett-Allen, Knight Frank’s head of international residential research, in a report. “However, with two interest rate cuts this year, new lending stimulus in place and prices bottoming out, we expect Australia to rise up the rankings in the second half of 2019,” Everett-Allen continues.

While the diesel iteration has been demanded by Jeep loyalists, the hybrid could broaden the Wrangler's consumer base and build greater acceptance of electrified powertrains, said Jeremy Acevedo, senior manager of insights for Edmunds. Acevedo believes "the essence of the brand will remain intact" with a plug-in Wrangler. "I think it takes something like a Wrangler to take down some of these boundaries. In that way, you can be doing a huge service to the industry overall," Acevedo told Automotive News. "If the Wrangler, arguably the most iconic SUV on the road, can pull off a plug-in hybrid, I think that it does give credibil- ity to this technology having some merit beyond efficiency if it is truly a great off-roader [and] if it does carry that torch well." NEW YORK: If you drink nearly 14 drinks per week (2 drinks per day) and already suffer from mild cognitive impairment (MCI), you may be at a higher risk of developing dementia than those who enjoy drink a week, say researchers. According to researchers from Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, among those adults with MCI, the risk of dementia according to numbers of alcoholic drinks per week wasn’t statistically significant, although it appeared to be highest for drinking more than 14 drinks per week compared with less than one drink. In this cohort study of 3,021 participants aged 72 years and older, alcohol intake within recommended limits was not significantly as- sociated with a lower risk of dementia among participants with or without mild cognitive impairment at baseline. Among participants without mild cognitive impairment, daily low- quantity drinking was associated with lower dementia risk compared with infrequent higher-quantity drinking. “The findings suggest that physicians caring for older adults need to carefully assess the full dimensions of drinking behaviour and cognition when providing guid- ance to patients about their alcohol consumption,” said the research led by Manja Koch from T.H. Chan School of Public Health and pub- lished in the journal JAMA Network Open. The study analysed 3,021 adults (72 and older) who were free of dementia (2,548 were without MCI and 473 with MCI). During about six years of follow-up, there were 512 cases of dementia, including 348 cases of Alzheimer disease.

HERE’S HOW ARTIFICIALSWEETENERS INCREASE APPETITE

Researchers have revealed, for the first time, how ar tifi-cial sweeteners can stimulate appetite.Billions of people worldwide consume ar tificial sweet-eners and they are prescribed as a tool to treat obesity,despite little being known until now about their full im-pact on the brain and in regulating hunger.The study published in the journal, ‘Cell Metabolism,’shed light on the effects of ar tificial sweeteners onthe brain in regulating appetite and in altering tasteperceptions.Researchers from the University of Sydney’s CharlesPerkins Centre and the Garvan Institute of Medical Re-search have identified a new system in the brain thatsenses and integrates the sweetness and energy con-tent of the food. “Af ter chronic exposure to a diet thatcontained the ar tificial sweetener sucralose, we sawthat animals began eating a lot more,” said lead re-searcher and Associate Professor Greg Neely fromthe University of Sydney’s Faculty of Science.“Through systematic investigation of this effect, wefound that inside the brain’s reward centres, sweetsensation is integrated with energy content. Whensweetness versus energy is out of balance for a pe-riod of time, the brain recalibrates and increases totalcalories consumed,” added Associate Professor Neely.In the study, fruit flies that were exposed to a diet lacedwith ar tificial sweetener for prolonged periods (more thanfive days) were found to consume 30 per cent more calories whenthey were then given naturally sweetened food.

THE DARK SIDE OF TECH

Since the past few years, fitness trackers have become amust-have gadget among fitness enthusiasts and a com-mon accessory among the general public as well. Newer,sleeker models with an increasing number of features keepdebuting in the market every few months. While these de-vices help keep a track of activity levels and calories burned,and prompt one to budge from their sedentary slumber, if theyfall into the wrong hands, they can spark harmful effects too.THE STUDYHealth experts have warned that trendy fitness trackers can spark‘very dangerous’ weight loss among those with eating disorderslike anorexia by encouraging ‘perfectionism’, calorie counting andunhealthy competition. These apps can ‘take over’ until the desireto reach a certain number of steps becomes an obsession. TomQuinn, director of external affairs of the charity, Beat in the UK, says,“With individuals who are seeking, often to regain control — per-haps they have low self esteem, or they’re stressed by other thingsin their life — actually that per fectionism, that desire to doeverything right can really take over. So any of these appsor devices that encourage competition, excessive count-ing, whether that be on a day-by-day basis, or compared toother people, can be very dangerous.”GADGETS CAN POSE RISKSSometimes too much information is danger, disguised as technol-ogy. Modern gadgets only tell us about our sleeping patterns, hear trate, activity levels, etc, but don’t provide us knowledge on how toprocess this information for different age groups, medical condi-tions and fitness levels, which misleads people leavingthem vulnerable to conclusions. Each individual will analyseand act on this data differently.

Be yourself and design your own patterns

We are seldom conscious when we brush our teeth, apply amoisturiser or under take any such mundane activity. Chores are gen-erally per formed mechanically. Apart from these nearly programmedrituals, a lot of unconscious behaviour gets ingrained within us andforms into a pattern. While these behavioural patterns may seemhelpful as they may not tax our minds, such patterns come in the wayof relationships. Here are a few examples of how.There was a husband who felt his wife wanted to be in control ofeverything. So, apar t from going to work, he let her be in the driver’sseat about everything else. All major decisions were taken by her.Eventually, she became the man of the house and he couldn’t reallyconnect with the woman he was married to. He wanted to leave her.Here, the wife didn’t realize her control wielding behaviour came inthe way of their relationship.I have seen another case of a woman who was married earlier andhad been through a bad marriage. She would hold back her love fromher husband just because she was scared it wouldn’t be reciprocated

like in her first marriage. Her pattern of self-protection by withdraw-ing her love from her husband drove him into the arms of anotherwoman. A man’s depression though treated, came in the way of hismarriage. His biggest fear was he wouldn’t be loved and thus longedfor sympathy. The wife, on the other hand, was fed up with sympathyruling the roost of their relationship and love taking a back seat.Eventually she divorced him. The man’s behaviour because of hisfear became a cold, withdrawn and emotionless pattern hamperingthe dynamics of his relationship. With time the wife became emotion-ally emptied and ended up with an affair and eventually a divorce.When people try to change themselves inherently by becoming whatthey are not, they set a pattern of behaviour which doesn’t sync well with theirpersona and creates a conflict with the unconscious. Not being what one inherentlyis, always comes in the way of a relationship. It's not always easy to be aware ofsome self-patterns. People are limited by what they know and that keeps themaway from experiencing marital harmony. The wrong patterns can be cata-strophic for a couple.

JOY OF LIVING: SAY ‘NO’ TO SUICIDEAND NURTURE YOUR BEAUTIFUL LIFEOver the last ten plus years, I choose to have my annual medical check-up at the Gujarat Cancer Research Institute (GCRI). This almost feels likea yearly pilgrimage, where the attitude and approach of the staff anddoctors of the makes me feel good and breathe easy. A high point of thesevisits, over these years, would be the chats with a specialist in thegynaecology section. Even if she were not on duty for the check-up, Iwould seek her out and stop by for a few minutes to say hello to the very compe-tent, successful, and helpful gynaecologist. We would talk on a host of issues from

lifestyle, wellness to work-life balance, family, music and travel.A few months ago, as I was sipping in the day’s news along with mymorning coffee, a news item of a suicide grabbed my attention. As I readabout the person who had committed suicide, I felt a lump in my throat.India accounts for 33% of all suicides worldwide, where an estimated250,000 people committed suicide in 2012. Suicides are highest amongyoung people between the ages of 15 to 29, and this is the second rankingcause of mortality. Holding the notoriety of having the 18th rank out of 182

countries for highest suicide rates,India is in the worst ten percentileof countries across the world bysuicide rates.My intention is not to further come upwith gloomy forebodings of our suiciderates and the misery associated withthis. But, knowing these facts, under-standing these concerns, can each oneof us take a few actions to change thisscenario - Tomorrow is ‘World SuicidePrevention Day’. Starting tomorrow, theentire month would be observed as the‘Suicide Prevention Month’. To changethe world we have to start with our-selves. Can our emotional and mentalhygiene be on top of our ‘To Do’ list -Eating nourishing healthy food, drinkinglots of water, getting enough sleep, ex-ercising are simple acts that can‘frame our days’. We could recon-nect with our long-lost childhoodfriends like storybooks, crayons,colours, songs, games, camerasand spor ts, in the company ofyoung kids. Reaching out to helpthose that are needy and in paincan magically help clear the cloudsin our own life.

Living near parks and nature reserves is good for your mental healthLiving within 300 metres of urban green space such as parks, nature reserves or play areas is associated with greater happiness, senseof wor th and life satisfaction, says a new study.Using data from UK government’s Annual Population Survey (APS) of 25,518 people, the researchers show that people who live within300 metres of green space have significantly better mental well-being.“A lot of research focuses on poor mental health, or single aspects of well-being like life satisfaction. What makes our work different isthe way we consider multi-dimensional mental well-being in terms of happiness, life satisfaction and wor th,” said Victoria Houldenfrom the University of Warwick. The study, published in the journal Applied Geography, found that there is a very strong relationshipbetween the amount of green space around a person’s home and their feelings of life satisfaction, happiness, and self-wor th. Greenspace within 300 metres of home had the greatest influence on mental well-being.

PRINCESS DIANA, SUSTAINABILITY INSPIRE NYFWA homage to the late Princess Diana and a collection made almostentirely of sustainable clothing were among the breathtaking showsthat lit up the second full day of New York Fashion Week Sunday.American designer Tory Burch, a paragon of Bohemian chic style,wowed a star-studded audience with sof t floral prints and baggy,puffed-out sleeves that had a distinct 1980s feel.The 53-year -old, who presides over a clothing empire worth morethan $1 billion in annual sales, said the Spring 2020 collection hadbeen inspired by Princess Diana’s personality rather than herwardrobe per se.“I have always admired her and I wanted to tread very carefullybecause clearly, she’s a style icon and I didn’t want to referencethat. But I felt she had a fearlessness and being a humanitarianthat she was very inspiring,” Burch told AFP.Princess Diana, known as Lady Diana Spencer before she mar-ried into Britain’s royal family, died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.Her troubled marriage to Prince Charles was well documented, aswas her extensive charity work.“She stands apar t,” Burch continued. “Her compassion, her integ-rity and her being a mom and going through difficult times in apublic way that clearly she wasn’t comfor table with. I can relate

to that,” added the thrice-married designer.English actress Emily Blunt and American singer-songwriter Char-lotte Lawrence were among the celebrities eyeing Burch’s designsduring the runway show at the Brooklyn Museum.Burch said she was enjoying having her husband Pier re-YvesRoussel as CEO of her eponymous company, which he joined ear-lier this year af ter leaving luxury goods behemoth LVMH. “It’s ahuge relief. I’ve been doing it for 14 years and to be able to justwork on product and brand has been very freeing for me,” she said.

Role of Vaastushastra in your careerMost people don’t seem to make the time or haveenergy to work out even once a day. On the other hand,there are those, who try working out twice a day , andno, we’re not talking about athletes or professionalbody builders but laypersons in their quest for weightloss or guys, who want to get all beefy and muscularquickly. But is it advisable to do so? Exper ts give ustheir take...SEARCH FOR QUICK RESULTSWorking out twice a day is not really recommended fora beginner or a layman who is star ting his/her fitnessjourney. Ideally, working out twice a day is meant forthe intermediate to advanced or a trained athlete, whohas a solid foundation training for a good number ofyears and is under supervision, opines SwapneelHazare, founder and owner of SHIELD. “I have comeacross individuals, who workout twice a day in mypractice. Most of these people want an instant out-come or are desperate to lose weight. Sometimes,even though they’ve been told not to work out twice aday, they do tend to do that in search of quick results,”he recounts. They do get results but if the load isn’tmonitored, they tend to get injuries from overuse ofmuscles and over training.NOT MEANT FOR LAYPERSONSWorking out twice a day is meant for athletes and bodybuilders. Sailendra S Raane, director at FitnessDivision, RESET — Holistic Living Concepts, explains,“Normal people shouldn’t because their lifestyle andschedules are hectic and they don’t get enough sleep, nutritionand recovery. They think they will lose weight faster but they onlyfocus on the exercise. If one wants results like fat lossor muscle gain, nutrition and rest, recovery andoverload probation should be taken care of too.”

Reese Witherspoon is proud of wrinkles, says she’s earned themActress Reese Witherspoon, known for films like Legally Blonde, Legally Blonde 2 andthe TV?show, Big Little Lies says she likes her wrinkles because she has earned them.The 43-year-old actress likes to witness the signs of herself ageing on screen, repor tsfemalefirst.co.uk.“One of the things that struck me about Big Little Lies was how I saw my own lifereflected in each of the characters because I was a divorced woman, I’d been a singlemother, a mar ried mother, and I had another child in a second mar riage. When I saw thefirst version of it in the editing room, I immediately noticed the little lines on my face andsaid to myself, ‘I like them, I got them one by one... I worked hard to get these wrinkles’,”Witherspoon said in an interview to Closer magazine.“Now, I can play women who have lived more and gone through a lot of changes, notsimply because I’m in my 40s but because I’ve gone through that kind of evolutionmyself,” she added.The actress believes the 40s are the “best years” for women.“I think the 40s are the best years for women. You have a much clearer idea of who youare and you know exactly what you want. So you surround yourself with the best people,you have a much better idea of what you want in a relationship and you’re much bolderand less afraid. It’s a time of great personal growth where you have much greater self-awareness,” she said.Reese also runs a successful online book club via Instagram called Reese’s Book Clubthat has 1.2 M followers.

EXPERT TIPS ON HOW TO RECOVER FROMALL THE NON-STOP PARTIES AND EVENTS

With the festive season finally behind us, there’s no better time to give your skin a chance to breathe. Dollingup for endless par ties can take a toll on your face. Couple that with rising pollution levels and daily work stress,it’s very likely that your skin is breaking out or has turned dull. Take a break from the heavy make-up and beautyproducts and completely detox. Here’s how...Dr Rinky Kapoor, Cosmetic Dermatologist and Dermato-Surgeon, The Esthetic ClinicsA skin detox is a good way to remove all the dir t, sweat, impurities and start afresh. The first step is to gowithout make-up for two days and just wash with water. The next step is to treat your body to a relaxingmassage. You can also use some exfoliating masks of charcoal, clay, mud, vitamin C etc. These will helpremove the dead cells from the skin and clean from deep inside. A facial once a month, preferably with fruitacids, can cleanse clogged pores significantly. Steam given to the face during facials helps the ingredients inthe products to penetrate. The massage also helps increase blood circulation to the skin and remove toxicproducts to give the skin its glow back. Follow up with a toner and light moisturiser. As for the body, scrubbingwith a bath brush or loofah improves blood circulation, and assists the lymphatic system to drain away toxinsmore effectively. It also helps remove dead cells from the upper layers of the skin and stimulates collagenformation making it look younger and smoother.Dr Saumya Shetty Hegde, Dermatologist, Roots Skin ClinicDetoxify your skin by adding healthy green vegetables and fruits to your diet. Also, include some healthy fatsfrom oily fish and nuts. Of course, one should consume a balanced diet. Blueberries and other foods rich invitamin C will help add a glow to your skin. Wash your face daily with a good cleanser. This will help increasecell turnover. While facials can help hydrate and brighten the skin, you can also make a pack at home. Mix freshgel from an aloe vera plant with almond powder. Apply on your face for 15 minutes. This pack will remove allthe dirt and impurities from the pores.

THE GLOW-RIOUS NEON: NEXT BIG TREND IN FASHIONIf there’s a colour that’s having a celeb moment right now, it’s definitely neon. There’s just no waythat you can afford to not take note of the bright trend being endorsed by Bollywood actors Alia Bhatt,Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan. Those in Hollywood are also turning heads; take for in-stance international stars such as Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner.The trend from the ’80s is receiving a nod from the fash frat. Designer Narendra Kumar says, “Thefashion scene takes inspiration from retro shades, so this neon trend is a strong revival.”The colour represents visibility, feels designer Sahil Aneja. He says, “It is ‘shocking’ and loud,making it perfect for people who are unapologetically themselves. It’s a playful colour, so wear it onoccasions where you want to have fun.” Agrees designer Ashish N Soni, saying, “It’s a very camera-friendly shade as it makes one stand out and helps make a style statement.”Stylist Isha Bhansali, who styles actors such as Ayushmann Khurrana, believes that the hue isgender neutral and has a “futuristic mood” as that’s what “neon was always meant to be”. “The neonand fluorescent are back as a strong menswear trend, too. It’s graphic, geometric and it resonateswith the digital age,” says Bhansali, adding that it is great for a music fest or a concer t.The highlighter hue is available at high-street labels as well as in the local the flea market, makingit evident that it is not only those in the showbiz but also millennials who love it. Soni, however, isquick to caution people that neon needs to be styled correctly, as “one bad move can turn it into adisaster”. Aneja suggests, “If you love the colour, go all out with it. As for others, they can tone itdown with small pops of neon paired with a simple outfit.” Kumar shares a few style tips: “Thisunrestricted hue has a spor ty vibe. One can wear it to work or to the gym or as an athleisure wear toa club. If you want to add just a bit of neon to your outfit, go for a neon accessory like a bag or a belt.For Indian wear, one can pair a neon blouse with a bright sari.”

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK 2020: MARCJACOBS DREAMS A LITTLE DREAM TO CLOSE

FASHION WEEK ON A HIGHTwice a year, the New York fashionworld trudges to the Upper EastSide and the cavernous Park Av-enue Armory to see what newtricks Marc Jacobs has up hissleeve.Somehow Jacobs, who has the fi-nal Fashion Week slot every time— a position of considerable pres-sure — tends to find a way to sur-prise and impress. But on Wednes-day night he also sent a jolt of de-light through the crowd with a joy-ful and dreamlike ode to fashion ofall kinds and all eras.“Tonight is our reminder of the joyin dressing up,” he wrote in notesleft on guests’ chairs, “our unadul-terated love of fashion and embrac-ing grand gestures of unbridled ex-pressions, reactions, ideas andpossibilities.”If that was a mouthful, it reflected

the ebullient mood of the show.Normally, Jacobs’ models walkdown a runway in a dark room witha determined pout on their faces.Here, the lights were on and themodels were smiling, winking,even waving as they sashayed by.The room looked different, too. En-tering to take their seats, guestsfound the huge Armory floor emptyexcept for a gaggle of mismatchedwhite chairs arranged in unevenrows at the back, as if in an aban-doned vintage furniture store.Suddenly the doors opened andJacobs’ models — 61 of them —entered the room to the strains ofMama Cass singing Dream a LittleDream of Me. They spread out hori-zontally and then marched directlyto the audience, right past them intheir chairs, and out the other sideof the room. Were these wonder-

deal with fashion’s richest manBritish designer Stella McCartneypleaded for fashion to “wake up” andhelp save the planet Monday afterher first Paris show as par t of theindustry’s biggest luxury conglom-erate.“The world is crying out for changeand it is our responsibility to actnow,” said the creator, whose labelis a pioneer of ethical fashion.“We aren’t perfect... and like all busi-nesses, we are par t of the problem,”McCartney admitted.“But we are pushing the boundariesevery day to find solutions that doexist in an industry desperately inneed of change.”Her comments come days afterLVHM’s billionaire owner, BernardArnault -- the second richest manin the world -- attacked GretaThunberg at the launch of hisgroup’s environmental drive.He accused the Swedish teenagerof “surrender ing to tota lcatastrophism” over c l imatechange and depressing youngpeople.“She doesn’t offer anything otherthan criticism,” he told repor tersin Paris after the event, whereMcCar tney also spoke.The designer has becomeArnault’s personal advisor onsustainability since he bought intoher brand in July, although she re-mains the majority shareholder.Arnault’s LVMH group, whosehuge stable of luxury brands in-cludes Dior, Louis Vuitton andGivenchy, is seen as lagging be-

hind its French rival Kering.Last week Kering -- which ownsGucci, Yves Saint Laurent andAlexander McQueen -- said it hadgone carbon neutral and wouldhalf the greenhouse gas emis-sions in its supply chain withinfive years.LVMH refused to join with Keringin signing “The Fashion Pact” onthe fighting climate change at theG7 summit last month.Kering owned half of McCar tney’slabel until she bought them outlast year. McCar tney said it wastime brands got serious about theclimate emergency, saying, “It’stime to wake up.”“The younger generation are standingup and telling us that our house is on fireand that we need to respond like we arein a crisis, because in fact it is a cri-sis,” she said.The vegetarian said that she hadnever used fur, leather, skins, feath-ers or animal glues since shefounded her label in 2001.

To the sound of Donna’s Summer’sLove to Love You Baby, McCar tneyprojected images of couplingpangolins, Artic foxes and other en-dangered species onto the BelleEpoque ceilings of the OperaGarnier in Paris.Clips of zebras, ostriches and el-ephants also getting up to somemonkey business helped getfashionistas in the mood.McCar tney said her classy springsummer collection was “the mostsustainable ever” and included raf-fia bags made by female artisansin Madagascar, with the materialcoming from communities fightingdeforestation.It also included a luxurious-feelingnew fake fur called Koba, madefrom plant-based plastics and re-cycled polyester, and shoes withsustainable wooden heels andsneakers made from “second lifeplastic”.The designer -- daughter of BeatlePaul McCar tney and animal rightsactivist Linda McCartney -- listed herlong record of finding environmen-tally friendly alternative materials ina lengthy press release to go withthe show.With Kaia Gerber -- the daughter of1990s supermodel Cindy Crawford -- wearing one of a series of inge-nious flower print dresses, the cat-walk was dominated by elegant laceand Mughal crenellation fringed cre-ations.
