Hyundai and Kia engine fires should be investigated, according to a petition filed with the government by the Center for Auto Safety (CAS).
According to the safety organization, more than two million 2011-2014 Kia Sorento, Kia Optima, Hyundai Santa Fe and Hyundai Sonata vehicles may be at risk from engine fires caused by melted wires. In addition, complaints filed by owners say all the fires popped up even though no collisions occurred.
The petition was filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) after more than 100 complaints were filed with the government about non-collision engine fires. CAS says more than 200 complaints have been filed alleging smoke and burning odors caused by melted wires in the engine compartments.
The Center says the pattern of fires is troubling because the same model years are involved and three of the vehicles were manufactured at the same assembly plant.
The 2011-2014 Kia Sorento, 2011-2014 Kia Optima and the 2011-2014 Hyundai Santa Fe were all built in West Point, Georgia. The 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata cars were manufactured in Montgomery, Alabama.
The Center wants NHTSA to investigate any possible connection between the engine fires and the facilities where the vehicles were built. Additionally, federal safety investigators should verify suppliers didn't provide Hyundai and Kia with faulty parts.
CAS says the data shows 47 engine fires have occurred in 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonatas, 33 fires have been reported in 2011-2014 Kia Optimas, 30 fires reported for the 2011-2014 Kia Sorentos and 10 non-collision fires have occurred in 2011-2014 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles.
Any modern vehicle can catch fire from electrical current constantly flowing through the wiring and computerized systems, but CAS says the number of Hyundai and Kia engine fires far outweigh competitor vehicles.
"More specifically, as of June 7, 2018, a review of all the reported cases to NHTSA of non-collision related fires involving similar class and size vehicles, the Center found 22 reported cases in competitor vehicles as opposed to 120 for the Kia and Hyundai models." – Center for Auto Safety
Two of those complaints came from the owners of Hyundai Santa Fe and Sonata owners.
"Car was driven about 10 miles and then parked inside an attached garage. The ignition was turned off and key removed from vehicle. After approximately 1 hour had passed the car started on fire. Flames were visible behind the front right headlight and front right wheel. The fire caused significant damage to the garage and home." – 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe owner / Big Rapids, Michigan
"Walked out of store I had been shopping in for over an hour and car was in flames. The fire investigator explained it as an electrical short that started at the main engine wire harness and melted the tubing/wiring all through the engine compartment down near passenger headlight and the melting wires/tubing/rubber dripped and ignited on a pile of leaves underneath the car in the parking space." – 2012 Hyundai Sonata owner / Matthews, North Carolina
NHTSA has 120 days to respond to the petition to investigate the Hyundai and Kia fire risk.

“Announcement will be made SOON” – Jacqueline Fernandez on Race 3
“An announcement will be made soon,” said Jacqueline Fernandez in a Bollywood Hungama exclusive interview with Faridoon Shahryar when asked if she would be part of Race 3. Remo Dsouza is all set to direct the third part of the Race franchise which is rumoured to star Salman Khan. It is being said that Khan plays a baddie in the film and is taking a keen interest to ensure that the film is a super success with edge of the seat stunts and unbelievable action.
Race 2 was the first film that catapulted Jacqueline into the big league. She was presented in a high fashion glamorous avatar and. The song ‘Lat Lag Gayee’ was an instant hit and Jacqueline had displayed her ultra-graceful dance moves. She went on to deliver the biggest hit of her career when she paired opposite Salman Khan in Kick. And if the reports of her pairing with Salman in Race 3 are correct then expect a big bonanza at the box office once again. Jacqueline will also be part of the Dabangg Tour in Birmingham and London on September 16 and 17 respectively.

Athiya Shetty supports welfare of a girl child
She made her debut with Hero and was recently seen in Mubarakan. Although we have seen only the ‘actress’ side of Athiya Shetty, here’s yet another facet of her – her love for philanthropy. At a young age, the actress has now extended her support to a major cause related to development and welfare of a girl child.
The 24 year old star will be collaborating with an NGO that will work towards these initiatives and raise funds for underprivileged kids. Reportedly, the said organization helps these girls earn by helping them make clothes for a living. The money raised through these clothes is used for their education.
Talking about being associated with such a noble campaign, Athiya Shetty believes that the best gift for them is one’s time. The actress also thinks that she will be able to know their stories better as her aim is to motivate them as much as she can. She was approached by the NGO authorities for joining hands for the cause and the actress was more than happy to be a part of the endeavour and agreed immediately for the same.
Appreciating their efforts, Athiya Shetty was also all praises for the concept wherein they teach the girls to be independent and earn their own money and yet they receive an opportunity to explore their creative side.

OMG! Is Shekhar Suman taking a dig at Kangana Ranaut with this tweet?
Kangana Ranaut has been in news since a few weeks, more for her controversies than her recently released film Simran. Her stint on the chat show ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ went viral for her remarks on Hrithik Roshan, Aditya Pancholi and Adhyayan Suman. While Hrithik Roshan maintained a stoic silence over the allegations of Kangana, Aditya went all out and criticized her. Adhyayan meanwhile claimed that he was unaware of the said episode of ‘Aap Ki Adalat’.
Adhyayan Suman’s father Shekhar Suman too didn’t react directly but since two weeks, he has been posting cryptic tweets. He wasn’t naming anyone but Twitterati did wonder if he was directing his posts towards this feisty actress. And yesterday, he posted a tweet that read, “Itna hungama ..itna shor sharaba..nateeja? Khoda pahad ..nikli chuhiya!” That it came three days after the release of Simran made everyone sure that Shekhar Suman is mocking Kangana Ranaut with this tweet. After all, Simran got thumbs down from viewers and critics alike. Hence, Shekhar making fun of Kangana by stating that all her antics haven’t helped in making Simran a success, cannot be ruled out.
Four days after Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ interview was aired, Shekhar Suman had tweeted, “Im in a phase of forgiving ppl for their trespasses. As they say ‘forgive them my Lord for they don’t know what they say n what they do’”. But with his latest tweet, it seems that Shekhar hasn’t forgiven the actress for her comments on his son. Both Adhyayan and Kangana dated briefly when they were shooting for Raaz – The Mystery Continues. Last year, after the Hrithik Roshan-Kangana Ranaut feud broke out, Adhyayan gave an in-depth interview wherein he accused Kangana of being violent, abusive and even practising black magic on him. Kangana hit back at Adhyayan’s allegations on ‘Aap Ki Adalat’.
Meanwhile, Shekhar Suman is also gearing up for a film release, Bhoomi, which releases this Friday. It also stars Sanjay Dutt and Aditi Rao Hydari and is directed by Omung Kumar.

Brownies & Lemonade has the scoop on one of the most elusive acts in dance music — Dog Blood.
The rare duo consisting of Boys Noize and Skrillex are known to pop up on lineups here and there, but whether or not they’ve been working on new music together has remained a mystery until now. B&L is here to confirm that both artists are currently in Germany “putting in work.” And, get this — new Dog Blood music is most definitely “on the way.”
This is the kind of news worth screaming from the roof tops. At long last, we’ll get to hear what Dog Blood has been cooking up. It will be worth the wait, guaranteed. But wait — there’s more!
B&L has also revealed the first-ever Dog Blood warehouse party is in the works. This will be the very first time Boys Noize and Skrillex play together outside of a music festival (not counting pop up, surprise sets like Webster Hall).
Coming up, Dog Blood is expected to play at Ultra Music Festival and a B&L All Stars party during Miami Music Week. Plus, Buku Music Festival and Sunset Music Festival.
2019 is the year of Dog Blood! Here’s our proof…

REVEALED: Go Goa Gone 2 gets a go ahead and Saif Ali Khan will definitely be a part of it
Although A Gentleman failed to impress at the box office, Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK has a lot to look forward to. Two of the director duo’s films are making news for all the right reasons – Farzi and Go Goa Gone. While there are many speculations about the casting details of Farzi, there have been a lot of reports on the sequel to Go Goa Gone. Let us tell you that Go Goa Gone sequel is indeed on the cards and Saif Ali Khan too will be part of it.
Bollywood Hungama spoke to Raj Nidimoru of Raj & DK duo, who revealed that they are excited about taking the franchise forward and has started working on the script of the film. Raj said, “We shared the idea to Saif [Ali Khan] and he has really liked it. Now we are currently scripting for the film. I will be taking some time off as of now and by next month we will have some information on the star cast.”
When asked if Saif Ali Khan is a part of the film, the director also agreed on the same. “Saif Ali Khan will play a similar role like the way he did in the first instalment,” he asserted. The actor will also be producing the film. He further added that the boys too will be a part of the second instalment referring to Kunal Kemmu, Vir Das and Anand Tiwari. Not divulging too many details on the plot, Raj said that the second instalment will be similar to the first one. “Let us not call it a zom-com, it falls more in the genre of slacker comedy. It will be related to the first story,” he added.
As for the actress, the first instalment had Puja Gupta playing the leading lady. Talking about the female protagonist, Raj stated, “We are still figuring out. There is a little twist on that front so we will be finalizing the same once we are ready with the script.”
The director also maintained that they are hoping to kick start the film next year. Considering that they are simultaneously also working on the film Farzi, it remains to be seen which film will go on floor first.

John Abraham’s next is a remake of the Spanish suspense thriller The Invisible Guest
It was reported last month that John Abraham is all set to produce the remake of a Hollywood thriller and that he’s keen to have Taapsee Pannu on board. The name of the film was never revealed. But now it has been revealed that the movie which John Abraham is going to remake is French and not a Hollywood film. The name of this French flick is The Invisible Guest.
The reports say that John Abraham loved the film when he saw. He felt that Bollywood doesn’t make good suspense thrillers and The Invisible Guest will be an apt film to be remade. The reports also say that even Taapsee Pannu has signed the film and it is expected to roll around December this year or January 2018. The film will be directed by debutant director Lakshya and will be produced by John Abraham along with Prernaa Arora and Arjun N Kapoor’s KriArj Entertainment.
The Invisible Guest is a story of a young businessman who is trying to prove his innocence after he is arrested for murdering his lover. The film was loved for its style of narrative, unpredictability and a shocking climax.
John Abraham’s next film is Parmanu – The Story Of Pokhran, co-starring Diana Penty and Boman Irani. It is also a co-production between John’s JA Entertainment and KriArj Entertainment and it releases on December 8, this year.

Travis Scott‘s “Sicko Mode” is one of the biggest hits of all time. It’s now officially tied as the 3rd longest-running Top 10 song ever, which puts the track on the verge of another huge record!
“Sicko Mode” currently holds tight at No. 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100. It has spent a total of 31 weeks in the Top 10, which ties it up with “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars. If Scott manages to stay in the Top 10 for just two more weeks, he’ll match the all-time record.
As it stands — “How Do I Live” by LeAnn Rimes and “Closer” by The Chainsmokers featuring Halsey have each spent 32 weeks within the Top 10, which tie them at 2nd place.
“Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran and “Girls Like You” by Maroon 5 and Cardi B have each achieved 33 weeks in the Top 10. Those two songs hold down 1st place with the all-time record — at least for now.

Haseena Parkar’s real family got emotional during the shoot of the film
Apoorva Lakhia’s next Haseena Parkar, biopic of a woman who came into recognition because of her brother Dawood Ibrahim, has created a lot of curiosity amongst the audience. Thought there has been a lot spoken about Dawood Ibrahim which is played by Siddhanth Kapoor in the film, there is very little people know about Shraddha Kapoor’s character Haseena Parkar.
Apoorva Lakhia spent almost 3 years with the story of Haseena Parkar where he spent time with Haseena herself, her family, police officials and everyone who ever knew Haseena Parkar. The real family of Haseena was very helpful in given Apoorva Lakhia and his team access to old family pictures, things which were used by Haseena and a lot of content for research.
They once even visited the set of film when Apoorva was shooting one of the most intense scenes in the film. It had Ankur Bhatia’s character Ibrahim Parkar getting shot and Shraddha Kapoor groaning and weeping. That scene marks the turning point of Haseena Parkar’s life and something which the entire family suffered.
The scene was so vehement that the entire crew was in silence for a few minutes and the real family of Haseena Parkar were left with moist eyes.
Ankur Bhatia shares, “It was very taxing for both Shraddha and me as we had to go deep into our own dark places to act that scene. As we gave our shot and got out of the car, we saw Haseena’s entire family weeping by the monitor. We must have done something right.”
Swiss Entertainment presents Apoorva Lakhia’s Haseena Parkar, co-produced by Sameer Antulay and Babu Tyagi and produced by Nahid Khan starring Shraddha Kapoor, Siddhanth Kapoor and Ankur Bhatia is set to release on 22nd September 2017.

WHAT? Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan to come together on the day of Judwaa 2 release
Before the fans of these two ‘students of the year’ get excited let us clarify that Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan are definitely coming together but not for the same film. In fact, the trailer of Sidharth Malhotra’s thriller film is actually going to be attached with Varun Dhawan starrer comic caper.
Readers may be aware that Varun Dhawan is gearing for his first dual role in Judwaa 2 which is slated for release on September 29. Now, according to recent reports, the trailer of Sonakshi Sinha and Sidharth Malhotra starrer Ittefaq too will be attached with the film. It will be a great moment for the two heroes who are said to share a great camaraderie with each other even in real life. For the uninitiated, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra made their debut together in Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year in 2012.
On the other hand, yet another interesting fact is that both Judwaa 2 and Ittefaq are remakes. The out and out comedy featuring Varun Dhawan along with Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu is a remake of the 90s cult Salman Khan starrer Judwaa which also starred Karisma Kapoor and Rambha in lead roles. Both the films are directed by Varun’s father and popular filmmaker David Dhawan.
Talking about Ittefaq, it is produced by Dharma Productions and is directed by Abhay Chopra. The film is a remake of the 1969 classic thriller that starred Rajesh Khanna, Nanda, Madan Puri among others and was directed by renowned filmmaker Yash Chopra who is also Abhay’s uncle. The 2017 version stars Sonakshi Sinha, Akshaye Khanna in prominent roles besides Sidharth Malhotra and is slated to release on November 3 this year.

Audi is recalling nearly 140,000 vehicles with passenger-side frontal airbags that may fail in a crash.
Recalled are the 2013-2018 Audi S6 and S7, 2012-2018 A7 and A6 and 2014-2018 RS 7 vehicles equipped with basic seats.
The automaker says the basic seats, whether heated or not, have sensing mats that can wear down and cause the occupant detection systems to fail.
The mats are used to indicate the size of the passengers sitting in the front passenger seats, but damage to the mats can cause the systems to misread the size of the passengers. An adult sitting in the seat may be interpreted as a child, something that will cause the airbag to fail in a crash.
Audi has known about the problem since at least September 2016 because it had been monitoring complaints about the systems and noticed an increase in reports.
Drivers will be alerted to any malfunctions by the illumination of airbag monitoring lights and "Passenger Airbag OFF" warnings.
The recall is scheduled to begin July 31, 2018. Audi dealers will install new passenger occupant detection system repair kits.
If you own a 2013-2018 Audi S6, S7, 2012-2018 A6, A7 or 2014-2018 RS7 and have questions about the recall, contact Audi at 800-253-2834 and ask about recall number 74D5.

“I don’t regret leaving Sultan”- Kangana Ranaut reveals why she refused to work with Salman Khan in Sultan
Kangana Ranaut is making headlines and how with her recent explosive statements in her several interviews. From extramarital affairs to abusive relationships to awards to not working with big actors, Kangana Ranaut has opened up like never before and has made some bold revelations.
One may remember that Kangana Ranaut was the first choice for Salman Khan starrer Sultan. However, she opted out of the film as she wanted to collaborate with the Aditya Chopra and Salman Khan and the producer wasn’t ready to take someone else’s inputs. Anushka Sharma went on to do the film and the film became a blockbuster.
Recently, during the media interaction, Kangana Ranaut was asked about whether she has made conscious decision to not work with big stars and chosen meaty roles instead. “Of course it is my conscious decision. If I am investing my time and hard work in a film, my fans also have expectations from me. In fact, whenever I have done films with established stars, they surprisingly didn’t work at the BO, be it Katti Batti or Rangoon. I don’t regret leaving Sultan even for that matter. When a film comes to you, you know if they will do business unlike they are Queen which became a sleeper hit. It’s such a beautiful phase of my life. Life isn’t a bed of roses,” she said.
Incidentally, it was also reported recently that Kangana Ranaut had once again said no to Aditya Chopra for Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan starrer Thugs Of Hindostan. According to the reports, Kangana did not want to do the film as she didn’t have much to do as the actors. So, the role eventually went to Katrina Kaif.
Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut is currently gearing up for the release of Hansal Mehta’s Simran which hits the theatres this Friday.

Kalina Silverman ran a research project named Big Talk and concluded that we need to skip the small talk in order to have meaningful conversations. She would ask strangers “What do you want to do before you die?” Asking questions is valuable as it gives us a chance to learn about others and gain a greater understanding. It demonstrates a curiosity and strengthens deeper connection.

Are you a parent with an infant or toddler who sucks their thumb? We here at Dr. Marchbanks’ office are here to answer the questions you either have or SHOULD be asking!
Most parents understand why children reach for their thumb, but some are new to the world of parenting or otherwise are looking for a refresher on the thumb-sucking phenomenon.
We want to explain this topic through and through: the why and when, the causes and effects, the ways to address the habit, and—if needed—when to be concerned.
Let’s begin!
Why do children suck their thumb?
Thumb sucking in infants actually starts in the womb. Everyone has seen that adorable ultrasound of the baby curled up with its thumb in his or her mouth, right? Thumb sucking is a tactic for these new-to-the-planet babes to “soothe” themselves. Who can blame them?
As a child gets older, thumb sucking doesn’t just allude to soothing an anxiety, but can also be done out of boredom. And for some, it turns into a passive habit that can actually cause damage.
When is thumb sucking the most common?
Thumb sucking can start from the moment a fetus has a thumb to suck. In extreme cases, the habit can continue on until they are about six years old. Most thumb sucking happens from ages 0-3 months and might persist until the age of four.
Which brings us to our next point. When do you need to “intervene?” Studies have shown pressuring your child to stop will only give them more anxiety, which will incite more thumb sucking. So, we advise being careful and empathetic when breaking this habit.
When has it gone on so long that you should be concerned?
As a parent, we recognize that whatever it takes to stop your kids from crying is will sometimes reign over your longer-term concerns about habit development. So, if the child needs to suck his or her thumb, or pacifier, you’ll usually let ‘em at it without a second thought.
But, at a certain point, we have to begin to make gentle efforts to sway our little ones out of using their thumbs for a few reasons:
It does start to get socially awkward at school
Physical changes to oral structures, and
A sore thumb and mouth along with other illnesses
So, how long is too long? Doctors and specialists report that “normal thumb sucking” usually stops around age two. For the little ones who persist, it can last up to age six.
With this habit it’s crucial as a parent to be observant of the triggers that cause “too-long” thumb sucking to assess when intervention is needed. Thumb sucking in toddlers becomes harmful because:
Children start to sprout their baby teeth at 4-7 months old. Prolonged thumb sucking at ages three to six can eventually cause physical and aesthetical changes to the placement of teeth and to their bite.
Habitual sucking can cause a thumb to become sore, and can potentially crack and bleed thanks to the constant exposure to saliva. Even thumb nails can crack, and the finger can get infected.
As children start to attend daycares and schooling, as children get older they begin to recognize what thumb sucking is: an agent to combat social anxiety. And, sadly, there are children who will target others for this and perhaps point it out in the not-so-nicest way.
What physical damage can thumb sucking really cause?
Some of the damage that can be caused by a thumb gone sucked for too long are:
A protruding upper gum
An overbite
Buckteeth
Gapped teeth
Other malocclusions (deep bites)
How does it cause that damage?
The human mouth continues developing until around age 20. Just as the brain is developing, that little mouth is being shaped, literally, by what is put into it. The thumb presses up against the roof of the mouth in children who thumb-suck, and also press against the inside of the upper front teeth as they grow in these formative years.
Expensive cosmetic corrections later on aren’t anyone’s idea of a good time. So, below are some tips to help you curb your little ones’ thumb-sucking.
How to break the habit?
Satisfy the urge to suck.
We recommend starting here, which means starting young. Thumb sucking is evidence of a need—a need for attachment. If not satisfied, thumb sucking becomes a crutch. Fill the need to suck while the baby is young with other toys and options.
Teach other pacifying behaviors
We’re here to remind you that your baby feels what you feel. So, most importantly, try to keep all of your environments as stress-free and peaceful as possible. There will be plenty of other opportunities in life to learn about stress. If your little one has a strong need for stress-sucking, try using other methods to soothe your child like: rocking, massages, playing animated games, or singing. The earlier your child learns other ways to pacify him or herself, the less s/he will seek the comfort of the breast, bottle, thumb or pacifier.
Occupy the thumbs
If your child is past infancy, try to keep those thumbs busy. Bored thumbs wind up in the mouth. If you see it about to happen, redirect, distract, and give the child an activity that keeps both of their hands busy. Or, you can suggest a competing habit if they’re old enough like hiding the thumb game, folding their arms, taking the thumb out of the mouth and squeezing it immediately upon it entering the mouth as a corrective behavior. You could even suggest the gold-star reward system, for when they go a whole day without sucking.
Time your intervention
Ultimately, you want to time your intervention. Assess if the habit is harmful: ferocious sucking, sore thumbs, impending gum and teeth movements—and be gentle. Wait until your son or daughter is in a receptive mood. You wouldn’t want to threaten their independence or make them feel bad!
We want to offer up one last option: come bring your kids to talk to us! Bringing your little ones into our office from a young age can help them understand the importance of their teeth and how oral habits can affect them, good and bad.
While some people see thumb sucking as unsightly, or annoying, we see it as a natural evolution into being a healthy adult. At Dr. Marchbanks’ office we’re happy to take some of the parenting questions off your shoulders by providing our professional know-how!

I used to absolutely love bike riding when I was a teenager, but ever since this climate change it’s been really rough to love it.
Due to not having my own vehicle, because of negative friends and family as well as the poor education system most of us were raised with. So I have tried my hardest to stay consistent with something working at different places, but I’ve come to realize that they do not give a care about you they could care less if you got injured on the job or died it’s that serious. So now I’m happily back to owning my own professional cleaning business and still making business happen even though all I have is my dream, bicycle, bus, dolly and persistence at my beckon call!!! So you know how so many of us say that we can’t because we don’t have something? Well I don’t have a vehicle and yet I’m still making things happen. So why can’t you again? Look I’m here to help and you may not want to take advice from someone you may consider to not be successful. But let me ask you who’s not being successful the one who is making things happen despite his challenges or the one who is feeling sorry for himself reading this blog post possibly right now? I don’t see anyone else trying to help you for free. Do you? The fact of the matter is that you have to take risks in life in order to get the rewards, but despite what some so-called entrepreneurs tell you is that you need to trust in them and then they will help you after you pay for something. Doesn’t that sound like you’re actually helping them? Don’t get me wrong I’m all about helping people in any way I can, but if you’re going to be a cheapskate throughout our whole friendship I don’t have anything to do with people like that. I’m going to treat you good, but the moment you treat me bad when I spend my time to help you it’s the moment you’re going to feel regret because I’m going to give you some time away from me to think about it. So without taking up a lot of your time this blog post pretty much sums up who I am and if you’re interested in finding out more please keep coming back and reading my updates. How can I help you? You may ask. Well didn’t you just learn something? So I’ll see you on the next blog post.

Smith recently found out she was pregnant and she had plans to meet with her ex-boyfriend, the father. She never showed up to the meeting or an appointment regarding her pregnancy afterward.
