OTTAWA — The chief executive of the Canada Mor tgage and HousingCorp. says his agency wants to raise hundreds of millions more dol-lars to help Canadians afford places to live, adding to the billionsalready available in government funding.Evan Siddall said the aim is to raise $100 million more for housing,quickly and likely from private sources, because the money pledgedby federal and provincial governments over the next decade or soisn't enough to make housing affordable for everyone in the country.CMHC's corporate plan, released last month, set the ambitious goalof providing all Canadians with homes they can afford and meet theirneeds by 2030. An estimated 1.6 million Canadian households areconsidered in "core housing need," meaning they live in places thatare too expensive or aren't really suitable for them.Siddall admitted the goal is a moon-shot, but it's designed to force hisagency and others to achieve more than is already eyed in the long-term national housing strategy, whose price tag is over $40 billion."As massive as those investments are by the government of Canada,and the investments similarly that provinces are making, they're notgoing to be enough," Siddall said in a telephone interview from Victoria,where he had just addressed an affordable-housing conference.Siddall's agency has been at the centre of housing moves the federalLiberals have made since taking office in late 2015, putting CMHC incharge of major aspects of the national housing strategy unveiled in

late 2017. Many parts of the strategy have rolled out, but the federalcabinet will soon be asked to approve one component: a rental supple-ment that low-income people can use with private landlords if theydecide to move out of social-housing units.At issue for ministers is how por table the benefit will be, and underwhat circumstances a person would no longer be eligible for it.Another Liberal pledge is to come into effect at the same time as thesupplement: a program to have federal coffers pick up some of thecost of a mor tgage for qualifying buyers.

Sunscreen protects the skin’s blood vessel function from harmfulultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure by protecting dilation of theblood vessels. Perspiration on the skin may also provide protec-tion to the skin’s blood vessels from sun damage, a recent studyhas suggested. UVR from the sun has been well-documented as acontributing factor to skin cancer and premature skin aging. UVRhas also been found to reduce nitric oxide-associated dilation ofskin blood vessels (vasodilation) by reducing the amount of nitricoxide available in the skin. Nitric oxide is a compound essentialfor blood vessel health. Vasodilation of the skin’s blood vesselsplays an impor tant role in regulating body temperature and re-sponding to heat stress, both locally in the skin and throughoutthe body. The findings were discussed in the Experimental Biol-ogy 2019 meeting. Researchers from Pennsylvania State Univer-sity studied the effect of UVR exposure with sunscreen or sweaton nitric oxide’s ability to promote vasodilation of skin blood ves-sels. Healthy young adults with light-to-medium skin tone wereexposed to UVR on one arm while the other arm served as acontrol and did not receive UVR treatment. The dosage of UVRwas roughly equivalent of spending an hour outside on a sunnyday, but without the reddening of sunburn.

palazzo trend better

The ‘write’ way to go traditionalExploring the new-age sari

‘Move over slogan T-shirts andjackets, it’s time to make way forslogan lehenga choli andtypography-printed saris

When actor Deepika Padukone wore a red dupatta with the Sanskritquote ‘Sada Saubhagyavati Bhava’ embroidered in gold at her wed-ding ceremony last year, a fashionable love affair between traditionalcanvas and typography was kindled. And it has been a whirlwindromance ever since. From Nita Ambani’s ‘Shubharambh’ (translatingto ‘a good beginning’) embroidered lehenga choli by Sabyasachi toSonam Kapoor Ahuja’s House of Masaba sari featuring letterings inTamil or the Anamika Khanna lehenga choli set featuring her namealong with the phrase ‘Everything is AK-OK’, wearing your ‘thoughts’on your ‘traditional’ sleeves, is the new big deal in the trend-o-sphere.It’s not just about the slogan T-shir t or denims any longer. Awhile back, actor Karisma Kapoor too was seen flaunting the trend,with a typography-printed Satya Paul sari that spelt out ‘mirchi’ inHindi.Stylist Rishi Raj asserts that customisations such as these help take“couture to the next level”. He adds, “It can’t get more bespoke orcustomised in this world which wants everything couture. A couturepiece is like owning an exquisite piece of ar t and its exclusivity in-creases when you have typography or a slogan that’s uniquely yours.”A slogan is a basic way of telling the world who and what you are,what you like and dislike or what you believe in. But designer RahulMishra points out that not all occasions demand one to make a state-ment. He reveals he has been “gett ing a lot of requests forcustomisation of different sor ts” but shares “when it comes to slo-gans being featured on formal garments, one needs to take the under-stated route”. Mishra says, “I don’t think having big slogans will workon formal garments but I love the idea of typography. Slogans of anysor t, on any garment, mostly illustrate the political or social state of

present times, and formal functions don’t demand such issues to behighlighted.”On the other hand, designer Kunal Rawal says “there are no rules”.He insists that “the market is more than ready now for such trends.”Kunal, who loves customising his creations, shares, “Go for some-thing that resonates with you. Something you want to see again andagain.” He points out, “This trend has also given men the apt oppor tu-nity to be as involved as women while choosing a garment. Garmentsfeaturing wedding dates are a huge hit with the fashion enthusiasts.Besides the usage of numerals, roman numbers are a great optiontoo, and the market will see much more of the trend.”Naturally, in such a trend explosion, one is forced to question thelongevity of the garment with typography and its enduring appeal. Toensure it, celebrity stylist Isha Bhansali advises “never opt for some-thing that’s in your face, and be extremely careful with the placementof the slogan or the text”. She adds, “Also, ensure that when the slo-gan is embroidered/placed on the garment, it should be in sync withthe whole colour story of your ensemble. Don’t make it too colour ful.Don’t place it near a body par t where it will be too much to handle.Fashion is all about the right balance.”

Kur tas styled with palazzos and loose pants is perhaps the top-most trend this summer season. The Indian attire has an appealand comfor t to it and has been worn by a number of Bollywooddivas including Sara Ali Khan, Anushka Sharma, Nora Fatehi,Sonakshi Sinha and Alia Bhatt. They love to style this trend in anumber of colours especially pastel shades. This trend is alsoevolving because of the comfor t the outfit offers and the numberof variations of fabrics, prints and styles.Sara Ali Khan definitely loves her ethnic wear as we have seentime and again. Last week, the Simmba actor stepped out in ablue kur ta paired with cream printed palazzo pants. She kept herlook casual by styling the outfit with juttis, small gold earringsand gold bangles. She even carried a unicorn clutch with heroutfit which increased the quirkiness of her look.Alia Bhatt also wore a similar blue shade of Sara’s kur ta, but shestyled it with greyish pants with white polka dots. She also car-ried a white dupatta and styled the outfit with a pair of whitekolhapuris and chose to wear no accessories with the outfit.

Nora Fatehi was also spotted in a similar look, wearing a blueshor t kur ta with a palazzo. She completed her look with silveroxidised earrings much similar to the motifs on her kur ta.Another similar look was spotted on Sonakshi Sinha. She worea white and blue floral kur ta –palazzo outfit styled with a floraldupatta. She also wore white kolhapuris and even adorned ablack bindi.How to get the look.Kur tas styled with palazzos are a summer outfit everybody coulduse in their closet. Cotton kur tas especially in white, can beworn with a number of different palazzos or loose pants of al-most any colours. Similarly pastel shades kur tas are in trendright now and can be worn with muted shades like white, ivoryor grey. Kolhapuris should be your go-to footwear to style withthis look and you can also wear light accessories to completeyour look.

FASTING THERIGHT WAY

As the nine-day-longNavratras begin today, manypeople will be fasting forthese days. The very wordconjures up all kind of no-tions. But going by the usualpractices we see around,most of these are practisedthe wrong way, taking awaymuch of the benefits that fast-ing can actually provide.Fasting dates back to centu-ries and is central to manycultures and religions. How-ever, in recent years it hasgained popularity across theworld for reasons based onhealth rather than religion.From ancient ayurveda to lat-est medical research, fastingis good for health. Many medi-cal studies have shown vari-ous health benefits of fasting.It promotes blood sugar con-trol, improves blood pres-sure, triglycerides and cho-lesterol levels, fights inflam-mation, boosts brain functionand preventsneurodegenerative disorders.It can aid weight loss andboost metabolism.Usually, when the seasonchanges, our immunity is atthe lowest. It makes sense,then, to give rest to the diges-tive system and eat light. Asthe foods we eat duringNavratras do not include wheat,oats, etc., the consupmtion of glu-ten-free foods can boost theenergy levels.

Very few condos deviate from the basic 1, 2 and three-bedroom designs. Approaching condo living from a differentperspective, Aoyuan is offering unique suite designs at their M2M master-planned North Toronto M2Mcommunity inNorth York, the centre of GTA.Their newly released double-master suite - 3B-3B-E - offers an innovative layout that responds to the needs of manyhomebuyers. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms spread over 1,003 sq. ft. of living space, the suite offers notone, but two master bedrooms, plustwo balconies.While many families may feel that one master bedroom would suffice, this design really suppor ts a number of non-nuclear family lifestyles and takes into account that not every purchaser will have traditional needs.Multigenerational LivingIn some cultures, multi-generational housing is an expectation - aging parents live with their adult children. Elderlyparents may need financial or physical support, or just the daily companionship of family. Adult children may rely onparents for daycare or home management. There are a lot of cultures that embrace multi-generational housing as thenorm. Having a second master bedroom means no adults have to be relegated to a smaller space, affording bothgenerations spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets and full ensuite bathrooms.Each master bedroom is alsodesigned with its own directbalcony access.A third bedroom makes sense for children, a home office, a guest room or a den - all of these options creating morefunctional space so that, even with several adults sharing a home, there are plenty of options for privacy and personal space.His 'n HersWorking different hours, having different sleep habits, preferring warm or cold - there are many reasons that couples- still very much in love and romantically involved - might still choose to have a master bedroom of their own. It usedto be so taboo, but it's no longer a secret source of discomfort - having separate bedrooms can often make for a muchhappier living arrangement. Too many times one spouse suffers because of issues like a partner who snores, isrestless, sleeps too hot, sleeps too cold, steals the blankets or just has different sleeping patterns altogether. Creatingthe option for optimal sleep by providing a second bedroom can create a lot of comfor t and quality of life - lack of sleepis a serious issue. Two master bedrooms means both spouses can enjoy their own rooms in pure comfor t and style.SharingAffordability has been a major issue in Toronto, and many people are adapting to it through sharing. Co-housing is aburgeoning movement that's quickly catching on in Toronto but finding the appropriate spaces to accommodate thisnew need is proving to be tricky. With platonic roommates, having two master suites means it's easy to split costsand live comfortably. Residents can opt to be co-owners, or a purchaser may opt to find a roommate to supplementfinances and enhance their purchase's affordability.

Sara Ali Khan, Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singhshow how to stun in yellow this summer

A lively shade like yellow can be an instant mood enhancer and also a good choice for summer fashion.One can wear its different shades any time of the day – a pale yellow in georgette and a pale yellow insatin will look stark opposite to one another.Celebrities and style icons like Sara Ali Khan, Alia Bhatt,Ranveer Singh, Karan Johar has spor ted the colour yellow with utmost panache and the colour is here tostay. The best par t, it’s not weighed down by gender biases. Imagine Bollywood fashion in the 90s, andthink Govinda who spor ted yellow pants which may have been frowned upon back in the day but haveinstead gained popularity with the young guns of B-town namely, Ranveer Singh, Varun Dhawan andothers continuing this quirky trend.Ranveer Singh has proven how he’s the king of quirk fashion through his many red carpet appearances inthe recent past. It warms my hear t to see a new-age actor-influencer promoting fluid fashion to begin withand making a fashion statement nearly every time. Last night at HT India’s Most Stylish 2019, Ranveercame wearing a lime-yellow tuxedo with thick-rimmed glasses with a white frame. His energy and hispersona aside, the yellow was pleasing to the eyes that stood out amidst the bling we spotted on HTIndia’s Most Stylish Black Carpet.Amongst the ladies on last night’s Black Carpet was Radhika Apte’s look (that she later changed forhosting the event), a ruffle gown in dull yellow that flowed like a stream around the Sacred Games actor.Recently, Gully Boy actor, Alia Bhatt wore a sunflower-yellow lehenga choli at Akash Ambani-ShlokaMehta’s wedding in Mumbai where pastels were the theme of the day.
