Noida decides to revamp old high-rises, gives nod for building 7-star hotels
The Noida authority held its 218th board meeting on Saturday, in which it took several decisions such as the redevelopment of old, dilapidated multi-storey group housing towers, conceptual approval for the construction of five or seven-star hotels, industrial schemes, and permission for co-developers to invest in and complete stalled housing projects. Uttar Pradesh chief secretary Manoj Kumar Singh, who is the chairman of the Noida authority board, attended the meeting through video conferencing from Lucknow. Noida authority chief executive officer (CEO) Lokesh M, Greater Noida authority CEO Ravi Kumar NG, Gautam Budh Nagar district magistrate Maneesh Kumar Verma, and senior officials from the Yamuna Expressway and the Ghaziabad development authorities also attended the meeting in Sector 6. 'The board has given in-principle approval to the redevelopment of old, dilapidated high-rises so that users of these projects can avail themselves of better basic facilities and get modern infrastructure inside their buildings. We aim to redevelop old housing projects built by the Noida Authority in Sectors 27, 93, and 93A. Cooperative and private developers who have old low-rise buildings can use a 3.5 floor area ratio instead of the old 2 FAR to build more flats and go vertical if they can purchase additional FAR for the redevelopment,' said Lokesh M. The authority is likely to release a detailed roadmap for the redevelopment of the old buildings, said officials. The authority has also given approval to engage co-developers in three stalled projects, including IVRCL Private Limited in Sector 118, Supertech Capetown in Sector 74, and Supertech Ecocity in Sector 137. The board has also allowed a waiver of interest on land cost dues to another housing project named Cloud Nine in Sector 100, because the promoter could not make use of the offer previously. 'The board has made it very clear that if a co-developer wants to take over a stalled housing project like these three, then he/she will have to pay 25% of the total dues to initiate the takeover process,' said Lokesh M. The board said five and seven-star hotels in the city can be allowed on a public-private partnership (PPP) model. There are at least seven plots for five and seven-star hotels in the city, and the authority has been unable to sell these. As a result, it has come up with the PPP model in which it can provide land and a company can make an investment, said officials. 'The board has approved only the basic concept related to hotel development on the PPP model. The authority will prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) document containing all the details related to the model that will be used for this project. The RFP document will include the details of how the PPP model will be executed, and what the stakes of the government and the interested company will be,' said Lokesh M.

These 4 Zodiac Signs Are Always the Best in Bed—Here's Why
Let's face it: most sex can be good, but only a handful of experiences can be out of this world. If you've ever had the pleasure of experiencing the latter, chances are, you slept with one of the four zodiac signs who are cosmically gifted. They know exactly what to say, their timing is impeccable, and before you know it, you feel like you're on Cloud Nine. You can consider their sexual prowess both a gift from the heavens and a result of their personalities and ruling planets (which we'll get to in just a bit). It should come as no surprise that the signs with the most adventurous and intellectual approaches to life are also some of the most talented in the bedroom. After all, sex is an exchange of energy and communication, from flirting to cuddling and everything in between. Those who are concerned with being reciprocal and creating an environment for curiosity and exploration are ultimately the people who will have the best time. It makes sense when you really think about it. When it comes to ruling planets and how we view anything under the purview of intimacy, the key player you'll want to look out for is Venus, the planet of love and beauty. Along with various facets of their personalities, signs with Venus as their ruling planet are more likely to be better in the bedroom, simply because they understand sex is inherently visual. They know how important it is to take note of the little things, constantly setting the mood, creating a sexy ambience, and putting a concerted effort into aesthetics in general. Because great sex feels like it was written in the stars, here are the zodiac signs who are undeniably talented in the bedroom: Say what you will about Geminis, but they're amazing in bed. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, the sign has a magical way with words. Not only do they know how to flirt and talk dirty, but they're also highly communicative with their partner, making sure their needs are met. As one of the smartest signs in the zodiac, Geminis also bring a curiosity and adventurousness into the bedroom that can't be matched by any other sign. They're always on the quest for new experiences, making them game to try just about anything at least once, whether it's a new position, place, or fantasy. Embodied by the twins, Geminis are highly adaptable, able to take on various moods, personas, and styles in bed. They can be passionate and intense, slow and sensual, or a fun mix of both. They aren't afraid to try new things, and will always make even the most mundane conversations feel sexually-charged and exciting. This is part of what makes them so fun–you'll never know what to expect. You'll have to sleep with one to find out for yourself! Everyone dreams of sleeping with a Leo. Ruled by the sun, Leos are undeniably confident, bold, and flirtatious–traits that translate very well in the bedroom. They're body-confident and self-assured, and simply know they're the hottest people in the room. Sex with them is always an adventure, physically and emotionally. As a fire sign, Leos are passionate lovers. They have a fiery all-in mindset and will bring all the energy and intensity with them into the bedroom. Not only do they love a good, intense buildup with flirting and compliments, but they're also the type to put on a show complete with rose petals, candles, and a hot tub. (They love the drama, we can't forget.) Though they love attention, Leos are also incredibly generous and want their partner to feel adored. They'll do anything to make sure this happens, whether it be through extended foreplay or showers of kisses and cuddles. Bottomline: you'll never forget sleeping with a Leo. If you had to describe Libra's style of intimacy in a nutshell, it would be a slow burn. Passionate, gentle, and intellectual, Libras prefer a playful, flirtatious conversation that leads to something more. For them, sex is a mental and physical experience, and they want to satiate all parts of their bodies, including their minds. Libras also value balance and equality, so you can be sure that sex with them will be a synergistic dream. (They're represented by the scale, after all.) They will always check in to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves, and generally making sure everything is fair and reciprocal. Because they're ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Libras care about aesthetics. Like Leo and Pisces, you can count on them to set the mood with candles and sensual music, only Libras might one-up them with a sexy outfit and fresh sheets. It may sound silly, but IYKYK, amazing sex is all in the details. Ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams and fantasies, Pisces can give you one of the most romantic, sensual nights of your life. They're the types to light candles, bring out the massage oil, and make sure the smooth jazz plays uninterrupted, all in the name of setting the mood. Since Pisces are also some of the most selfless and giving people out there, they're wired to put their partners' needs first. You'll never have to ask a Pisces for foreplay–they'll make it their priority. Pisces is also one of the most emotionally attuned signs, so they can sense and intuit exactly what their partner wants, without ever having to ask. With their high amounts of creativity and inspiration, they're also always open to exploring new things. This is why Pisces never gets bored with sex–they're constantly trying new positions, experimenting with toys, and overall, having a game-for-anything approach in bed. Overall, Pisces doesn't just want to have sex–they want to truly connect with their partner, making sure the experience reaches the mind, body, and soul. Sleep with a Pisces, and they'll introduce you to entirely new worlds.

Lilo Eigenmann Alipayo stuns in impressive new surfing video
Andi Eigenmann's five-year-old daughter Lilo is certainly following in the footsteps of her champion surfer dad Philmar Alipayo. On Instagram, Lakbay Siargao posted a video of Lilo impressively riding the world-famous waves of Cloud Nine. The five-year-old stood strong and confident on her board, riding the wave for more than 25 seconds. Her balance is something to aspire for, and the way she would press on her board to generate more power from the ocean demonstrated quite the know-how of the sport. "Look at her go," the proud mom said as she reposted the video of Lilo. According to Lakbay Siargao, Lilo was with her father on her morning surf. Lilo surfing isn't new — she's been at it since she was 10 months old and has since joined her first surfing competition. What's taken our attention was Lilo's command of the waves. We're totally looking forward to see more of Lilo's surfing. — LA, GMA Integrated News

What I learnt … about standing your ground
Julian Kynaston, 57, is the founder of the creative agency Propaganda, which he set up in Huddersfield 33 years ago and where he remains chairman. He is also brand director of Cloud Nine, a hair accessories brand, and founded the make-up brand Illamasqua, which he sold to THG Beauty in a seven-figure deal in 2017. In his teens he was a violent, designer label-obsessed football casual, supporting Leeds United, where he learnt the value of standing your ground. He now believes more creative agencies need to stand behind their ideas: '[We] owe it to clients to get them to do the right thing. If that just takes a more assertive approach to get them to do that, then so be it.' We were working on
