Anil Kapoor to endorse Crocin?
|
Anil Kapoor may be busy with his film commitments but the actor seems to be quite active on the endorsement scene too. The actor, who has also appeared in ads with daughter Sonam Kapoor, has now bagged a new endorsement deal as reports have it that he has been roped in to promote the medicine ‘Crocin’.
|
While the brand has rarely been associated with a celebrity, we are yet to receive details of the actor’s campaign for the medicine. The said tablets are used for body ache, cold and even during symptoms of fever.
|
Talking about Anil Kapoor, the actor is busy with Fanney Khan which will see him reuniting with his Taal co-star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan after one and half decade. Furthermore, the actor will also share screen space for the first time with son Harshvardhan Kapoor in the Abhinav Bindra biopic. The actor was last seen playing on screen uncle to real life nephew Arjun Kapoor in Mubarakan.

Why we don't negotiate with U.S.
|
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in his high-profile remarks on Monday, emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not enter into negotiations with the United States.
|
There are some points in Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s statements that should be taken note of.
|
The first point is that the United States, especially Donald Trump’s government, is to blame for the current situation by withdrawing the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear agreement and restoring primary and secondary sanctions against Iran.
|
Although President Trump has said he is ready to negotiate with Iran without preconditions and backed down from his previous positions, his withdrawal from the international nuclear agreement has left no room for dialogue.
|
Moreover, Trump is regarded unreliable even among the United States’ allies in the world. Now, European countries are very worried that a person such as Trump has taken the helm at the White House.
|
Secondly, the only way forward is that Trump acknowledge this fact that all the United States’ conspiracies against Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution have ended in failure. Trump should have been advised by senior political experts like Zebigniew Brzezinski, who served as national security adviser under the Jimmy Carter administration, to accept a "powerful Iran".
|
Undoubtedly, if Trump does not want or fails to accept such a fact, he must face the dire consequences which would come to haunt the U.S. in the region and the wider world. He must look at the record of extremist figures such as John Bolton, Mike Pompeo and Rudy Giuliani who form his inner circle. Each of these neo-cons symbolize the failure of the George W. Bush administration’s policies.
|
Third, Iran will not negotiate with the Trump administration at all, because Trump as president is not even trusted by the closest people around him.
|
Even before Trump walked out of the multilateral nuclear treaty, the Barack Obama administration failed to comply fully with the agreement. Obviously, in such a situation, negotiations with a country that is challenging the world order would be totally useless and illogical.

Sirte, Libya: Libyan interim government fighters captured Muammar Gaddafi’s home town on Thursday, extinguishing the last significant holdout of resistance by troops loyal to the deposed leader and ending a two-month siege.
|
The capture of Sirte means Libya’s ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) should now begin the task forging a new democratic system which it had said it would start after the city, built as a showpiece for Gaddafi’s rule, had fallen.
|
“Sirte has been liberated. There are no Gaddafi forces any more," said Colonel Yunus Al Abdali, head of operations in the eastern half of the city. “We are now chasing his fighters who are trying to run away."
|
Another commander confirmed the city had been captured and some rebel fighters beeped their car horns and shouted “congratulations" to one another.
|
But many were still edgy and troops did not allow reporters to enter the positions formerly held by the Gaddafi loyalists as they said mopping up operations were still underway.
|
A group of some 40 vehicles carrying Gaddafi forces had broken out of the city and had headed west, NTC fighters said.
|
“The Gaddafi people broke out west, but the revolutionaries have them surrounded and are dealing with them," said one of the fighters, Abdul Salam Mohammad.
|
Reuters saw NTC vehicles enter Neighbourhood Two, the last part of Sirte held by Gaddafi’s men and also other vehicles racing towards the west. Two dejected-looking Gaddafi prisoners were marched down a street, guarded by a pair of NTC fighters.
|
The sound of shooting could be heard coming from the west of the city.
|
Hundreds of NTC troops have surrounded the Mediterranean coastal town for weeks in a chaotic struggle that has killed and wounded scores of the besieging forces and an unknown number of defenders.
|
NTC fighters said there were a large number of corpses inside the last redoubts of the Gaddafi troops, but it was not immediately possible to verify the claim.
|
Thousands of civilians have fled Sirte which had a peacetime population of 75,000 and now lies largely in ruins from the rocket, artillery and tank fire which rained down on the town for weeks.

A HUSBAND killed his wife before shooting himself after deciding they had nothing but pain in their future, an inquest heard.
|
Wendy Ambrose, 77, had a large cancerous tumour and problems with her legs and back which meant she couldn’t walk upstairs to bed and slept in an armchair.
|
She had been given six to nine months to live.
|
Harold Ambrose, 82, suffered from dementia, took medication for Alzheimers and suffered stomach pain.
|
On May 24 last year, Mr Ambrose woke up and decided he was going to end it all.
|
He killed his wife, shooting her once in the face and once to the forehead with a shotgun he owned.
|
He then called police to tell them what he had done, stepped outside the house, put the shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger, an inquest heard.
|
He then terminated the call and attempts to get him back on the phone failed.
|
A police firearms team and ambulance were called to their cottage, in Chapel Road, Boxted, but were too late.
|
Det Con Lea Goodwin, speaking at the inquest at County Hall on Tuesday, said: “We received a 999 call at 6.37am.
|
“Mr Ambrose was found lying on his back against a wall by the kitchen door wearing his pyjamas top and a dressing gown with a cartridge close to his hand and a shotgun on his chest.
|
It is not known if Mrs Ambrose knew of his plan.
|
There seemed no indication she did as she was due to start chemotherapy two weeks later and had planned to see a solicitor the following week about selling the home.
|
It was hoped the sale would then fund the ailing couple moving into a care home.
|
The inquest heard Mr nAmbrose’s sister had told police that she and her brother, when they were much younger, had overheard their grandfather say he would shoot his wife if she ever got too ill.
|
Mr Ambrose had also told a senior care worker, the day before, things were a bit heated in the home as they discussed the future.
|
Area coroner Eleanor McGann ruled Wendy Ambrose was unlawfully killed and Harold Ambrose committed suicide.
|
A police spokesman said the killing may have been prevented if police had known about Harold Ambrose’s dementia.
|
Mr Ambrose had a valid shotgun licence, which he used to kill his wife and himself.
|
His doctor’s surgery, despite knowing he had a firearms licence, did not inform Essex Police about his worsening mental condition – although there was no legal duty on them to do so.
|
It is not known if Mr Ambrose made a rational decision to end their lives due to their suffering or whether it was due to his dementia.
|
But attempts are being made to get this law changed so GPs are legally obliged to inform police when medical circumstances change which mean a firearms licence is no longer appropriate.
|
Mr Ambrose held a licence from 1987 with the last issued in November 2011 for five years.
|
However, six months earlier, in March 2011, Mr Ambrose had a cognitive test.
|
At this point there was no mention of dementia.
|
By September 2012 delirium screenings were taking place and a confirmed diagnosis of dementia was made.
|
By May 2013, he was on medication for Alzheimers and by January 2014, various medication for his deteriorating mental health.
|
Nine days before the tragedy social services were refusing to deal with him until mental capacity tests were done.
|
At no point were police told about his changing condition.
|
There is no duty on them to ask or for medical practitioners to tell of a change in health.
|
A review of firearms licensing is taking place at Essex Police currently, although not as a direct result of this tragedy.
|
Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary is also reviewing the situation.
|
Area coroner Eleanor McGann will be writing to the Home Office.
|
She said: “GPs are currently under no legal obligation to contact police.
|
“They may wish to consider changes should be made in that respect.
|
I don't think anyone was expecting this cameo.
|
Before we get going here, I just want to be clear that this post contains a pretty big spoiler for Solo: A Star Wars Story. So, if you want to go into the movie as blind as Chirrut Îmwe — STOP HERE!!!
|
But be sure to bookmark this for later!
|
Now, for the rest of you, let's talk about THAT cameo in Solo, because I'm sure you have QUESTIONS.
|
Of course, I'm talking about the appearance of Darth Maul — who, most people will recall, DIED at the end of The Phantom Menace. Or...at least SEEMED like he died, right?
|
Now, this jarring cameo may have made you think at first, "Wait...WHEN does this movie take place?!"
|
And then you probably were distracted for a good five minutes working out the timeline in your head.
|
Solo, therefore, takes place after the events of Phantom Menace, i.e. after Darth Maul's "death."
|
Also, you may have noted that Darth Maul's lightsaber in Solo looked different than the one he had back in the day.
|
Which makes sense because his fancy-dancy double lightsaber was split in half in Phantom Menace. It went through some visual changes in the Star Wars animated series, but MORE ON THAT IN A MINUTE.
|
And finally, you may have missed it, but Maul was also sporting robot legs in Solo.
|
Which is very important since he, ya know, got chopped in half.
|
So, here's the deal. All these details tell us Disney has embraced the ~new~ canon which includes Darth Maul's storylines from the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and also Star Wars Rebels.
|
There's A LOT of detail and backstory to Maul's role in both these series, but the gist is that Maul actually survives being cut in half by Obi-Wan and seeks out revenge on him.
|
In the animated series, Maul is rescued by his brother (yes, he has a brother), named Savage Opress. He gets some new robot legs, takes on his brother as an apprentice, and they create a crime group called the Shadow Collective with some other baddies. More fights happen, he makes friends with a Padawan, and is finally killed (for REAL) by Obi-Wan on Tatooine (Luke Skywalker's home planet). DID YA GET ALL THAT?
|
So...there you have it. Darth Maul DIDN'T die at the end of Phantom Menace, and is now running Crimson Dawn (whatever that is, maybe just another name for the Shadow Collective from the animated series), and is actually the ~true~ baddie of Solo: A Star Wars Story.

on Sunday, the Blabbermouth website has been filled with comments from musicians paying tribute to the vocalist, who fronted Rainbow, Black Sabbath and, of course, Dio during his long and influential career.
|
Among the many noteworthy comments were ones from his former bandmates. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who left Deep Purple in 1975 to form Rainbow with Dio, was characteristically terse in his statement: "Ronnie had a unique and wonderful voice. He will be sadly missed in the rock and roll world."
|
"Yesterday, 16th May, my dear, dear friend Ronnie James Dio passed away at 7.45 a.m. L.A. time. I've been in total shock; I just can't believe he's gone.
|
"Ronnie was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. We had some fantastic times together. Ronnie loved what he did, making music and performing onstage. He loved his fans so much. He was a kind man and would put himself out to help others.
|
"I can honestly say it's truly been an honor to play at his side for all these years. His music will live on forever.
|
"Our thoughts are with [Dio's wife/manager] Wendy Dio, who stood by Ronnie until the end. He loved her very much. The man with the magic voice is a star amongst stars, a true professional.
|
"I'll miss you so much, my dear friend."
|
Heaven and Hell were scheduled to tour Europe this summer but cancelled earlier this year owing to Dio's condition.
|
Former Dio guitarist Rowan Robertson said, "I am privileged to have been a part of Ronnie James Dio's life and music. His closest ones are in my thoughts."
|
And former Dio keyboardist Jens Johansson wrote a long post remembering the singer.
|
"I hesitated a bit to write something about this. In a way it feels weird to use this sad day to attract attention to myself. Then I realized I also feel a bit strange to not even comment in public.
|
"My time in Dio was simply one of the best times in my life. Ronnie was one of the best people I ever met, very different from the usual musicians and other suspects in this wretched industry. I think this is something you will hear over and over — you have heard it before he was gone, and you will also keep hearing it after he is gone. Quite simply, because it's the truth. And especially towards fans.
