Bollywood actress Sridevi dies aged 54 after suffering cardiac arrest

Legendary Bollywood star Sridevi Kapoor has died aged 54.

The actress passed away on Saturday night after suffering a cardiac arrest in Dubai, her family confirmed.

The veteran actress and her family were in the United Arab Emirates for a wedding, her brother-in-law told the Indian Express.

She is believed to have been with her husband, producer Boney Kapoor, and daughter Khushi when she died.

 


Sridevi began her acting career aged just four when she starred in M.A. Thirumugham’s devotional “Thunaivan.”

The Czech spy who met Jeremy Corbyn

Much of the news in the UK this week has been driven by allegations, by a former Czechoslovak spy, that the opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was a paid informer for the country's communist era secret police, the StB.

Mr Corbyn emphatically denies the claims. Indeed all the evidence suggests he was never anything more than a person of interest to the StB. But, as Rob Cameron reports from Prague, while the Cold War is over, a few sheaves of yellowing paper still have the power to throw lives into turmoil.

As I sat at my computer, poring over secret police files, I felt a sudden tug of nostalgia. The files were digital copies of reports written by StB officer Jan Sarkocy, sent to Britain in 1986 under diplomatic cover. When he met first Jeremy Corbyn, in November of that year, his business card read "Jan Dymic, Third Secretary to the Czechoslovak Embassy in London".

Soul legend Eddy Amoo suddenly dies aged 74

The Real Thing singer Eddy Amoo has died suddenly at the age of 74.

The Liverpool-born musician passed away earlier today, friends said.

In a statement, his fellow bandmates wrote: 'It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our brother and inspiration, Eddy Amoo, who passed away on 23rd February, age 74.

'Eddy was a showman, a songwriter, and a legend in British music with Liverpudlian band The Real Thing.'
Amoo died in Australia. The cause of death has not been made public.

He shot to fame in his band The Real Thing, where he performed alongside his brother Chris Amoo and friend Dave Smith. The group formed in the 1970s and have been performing since.

This year the group had planned to perform in Bournemouth in April and Manchester later this year.

Eddy will be remembered for The Real Thing's hit singles You To Me Are Everything, Feel the Force, and Can't Get By Without You.

His friends said he leaves behind a large and loving family, a community he adored in Toxteth, Liverpool and his beloved music and band, The Real Thing.

Eddy will long be remembered as a tour de force in British music and he will be sorely missed.'

Back in the 1970s, the national press dubbed local boys Eddy Amoo, Chris Amoo, Dave Smith, and Ray Lake 'The Black Beatles'.

5 warning signs your tongue could be sending about your overall health

Every time you visit your doctor, he or she probably examines your tongue right away. If you've ever wondered what a simple glance at your tongue is telling your doctor, you're not alone.

Here are just a few of the health concerns your tongue might be broadcasting at a glance.

Oral health is important for so many reasons — and good oral hygiene is part of that plan.

If you look in the mirror and your tongue looks black and hairy, don't panic. Chances are good that you just need a good tooth brushing routine, and maybe some quality time with a tongue scraper.

Tokyo Olympics will be projected as life-size HOLOGRAMS for fans who can’t get tickets

The 2020 Tokyo Summer Games could be projected as 3D holograms outside of Olympic venues in real time thanks to unprecedented technology.

The groundbreaking system does not require competing athletes to wear motion sensors, nor do viewers have to wear 3D glasses to view the events.

The Japanese company behind the system, NTT, says their technology will allow people in other venues to observe Olympic events as if they are in the arena.

The system will make the Games more accessible to the nine million people living in Tokyo.

NTT said viewers will be able to see life-size representations of the competing athletes as they perform in Tokyo.
The system is called Kirari! For Arena and uses multiple cameras to track the movements of the athlete.

The images are then transported to devices which show 3D hologram figures in real-time in a different location.

NTT senior research engineer Kota Hidaka said: 'From all four directions, you can see players projected in the field moving in 3D.'

Their technology will allow fans unable to watch a karate match in an arena the chance to observe it via 3D holograms of the fighters battling it out live.

'You can feel the ultra-high-level experience as if you are on real time in every place. We propose a new spectator style to watch the competition,' an NTT statement said.

The company explained that their new system reproduces everything that happens in the competition space.

It does so through the combination of depth sensors that use laser lights and location tracking information.

The system makes possible the discernment between even slight color differences, NTT said.


HOW DOES THE TECHNOLOGY WORK?
A Japanese telecommunications company called NTT has created a new system that could allow people to observe the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo in 3D from a remote location.

The technology does not require sensors to be attached to athletes, which older 3D systems require.

Spectators will not have to wear 3D glasses to view the events using the new system, which is called Kirari! For Arena.

'By positively utilizing the knowledge of human visual elements, it is possible to obtain a smooth view point with a small number of light sources,' an NTT statement explained.

The company developed display technology for its new system that allows for the naked eye to process the images.

Kirari! For Arena will grow the number of people able to view Olympic events up close and personal.

The Olympics attract hundreds of thousands of spectators and upwards of four billion television viewers.

The introduction of the technology at the 2020 Summer Games is significant given that Tokyo is the most populated city in the world, with more than nine million inhabitants.




Kirari! For Arena will make the Games more accessible outside of venues with limited seating options.

The company explained: 'It is as if the athlete moves about the real space in front of you. It became possible to express [a] more spatial positional relationship more dynamically.

'It has become possible to enhance the experience more. Experience sports as entertainment beyond time and space.'

NTT said it is working to bring down the cost of the technology.

'We are hoping to establish the system and deliver the service in which people can enjoy watching games by gathering around the 3D hologram,' Hidaka said.

NTT is an official sponsor of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.

Explosion at US embassy in Montenegro

There has been an explosion at the US Embassy in Montenegro, the government says.

An unidentified attacker threw an explosive device into the embassy compound in the capital Podgorica, before killing himself, it tweeted.

It said the device thrown was likely a hand grenade. No other injuries have been reported.

Nearly 6,000 asthma inhalers Ventolin and Seretide Accuhalers recalled as they ‘could put lives at risk’

Asthma UK said that ‘faulty inhalers could put people’s lives at risk’ as it called on patients to check whether their inhaler needed to be returned.
The call comes after the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) urged asthma patients to replace specific batches of their Ventolin Accuhaler inhalers, used for the emergency relief of asthmatic symptoms, after it was discovered that a manufacturing issue resulted in some devices not delivering the full dose required.

In addition, one lot of Seretide Accuhaler, used for the maintenance of preventative treatment of asthma, is being recalled from hospitals, pharmacies, dispensing practices, retailers and wholesalers in the UK.

Drone Reveals Bizarre 4,000-Year-Old ‘Mole Town’ Where People Live Entirely Underground

With a few notable exceptions (looking at you, scientists on Antarctica), humans civilizations tend to center on easy-to-reach areas. Most of the greatest cities in history sprouted up along major waterways for a reason, after all.

This is part of what makes one secretive, 4,000-year-old Chinese town so fascinating. To even get a peek of this remote place, nicknamed the “mole town,” the world needed to use drones. Nonetheless, people have called it home for a millennia, largely undisturbed.

 Now, this amazing aerial drone footage of the ancient city has been made available to the public, and it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before… With the capabilities of drone technology at an all-time high, it’s safe to say we’re able to reach places that we’ve never seen before. In few cases is that more evident than with one mysterious city hidden in a remote part of China.

Women Reveal Their Secret Sexual Fantasies

For women, it may feel difficult speaking about our secret sexual desires or fantasies. Women are implicitly and explicitly taught to keep their sexual desires to themselves. It's impressed from an early age that being too sexual or being too vocal about what you want might give people the wrong idea or might make you look unattractive in a certain light — two things that make me say, "To hell with that."

A 2014 Journal of Sexual Medicine-published study revealed that among the top sexual fantasies women have were things like sex in an unusual place, being dominated and group sex with three or more people. In 2017, Refinery29 collected the fantasies women had, and while some fell into similar categories, new ones cropped up, including voyeurism, exhibitionism and having sex with someone you know, like a coworker.

How the Survivors of Parkland Began the Never Again Movement

y Sunday, only four days after the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland, Florida, the activist movement that emerged in its aftermath had a name (Never Again), a policy goal (stricter background checks for gun buyers), and a plan for a nationwide protest (a March for Our Lives, scheduled for March 24th). It also had a panel of luminary teens who were reminding America that the shooting was not a freak accident or a natural disaster but the result of actual human decisions.

The funerals continued in Parkland and surrounding cities—for the students Jaime Guttenberg and Joaquin Oliver and Alex Schachter and the geography teacher Scott Beigel—with attendance sometimes surpassing a thousand people. On a local level, at least, the activism did not overshadow the grieving.

The tragedy affected this student body of more than three thousand people in different ways: some students lost their closest friends, others hallway acquaintances. And the student leaders knew, with the clarity of thought that had distinguished them from the beginning, that the headline-industrial complex granted only a very narrow window of attention. Had they waited even a week to start advocating for change, the reporters would have gone home.

Rare find from the deep sea

Dumbo octopuses live at a depth of thousands of meters in the oceans of this world, in near-freezing water and in absolute darkness. A rare spectacle now provides further insight into this extraordinary habitat: on board a research vessel, a US scientist filmed a dumbo octopus measuring just a few centimeters hatching from its egg. Based on these video recordings and MRI scans of the internal organs, researchers from the Delaware Museum of Natural History, the University of Bonn, the University Hospital Münster, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution were able to document a surprising similarity of the hatchling with adult animals. The unusual find is now being presented in the journal Current Biology.

Breaking : Mass shooting plot for SoCal high school thwarted by alert security guard

Authorities say they've thwarted a student's plot for a mass shooting at a Southern California high school.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Tuesday that a security guard at El Camino High School in Whittier overhead a "disgruntled student" threaten to open fire on the school on Friday, just two days after 17 people were gunned down at a Florida high school.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Nicole Nishida tells The Associated Press deputies discovered "multiple guns and ammunition" after searching the student's home.

Officials wouldn't provide additional details but scheduled a news conference for Wednesday.

11 Hacks to Get a Flight Upgrade

 

Flying doesn't have to be a stressful, uncomfortable ride. In fact, it's relatively easy to travel like a boss. And, no, it doesn't require outright purchasing a first-class ticket.

From flying at the right time to simply being friendly to the employees at the gate, travel experts spill their flight upgrade secrets.

Former Manchester City Coach, Barry Bennell jailed 31 years for sexual assault

Former British football trainer Barry Bennell was on Monday sentenced to 31 years in prison for abusing 12 boys he coached between 1979 and 1991, with the judge branding him “sheer evil”.

64 year old Bennell, who coached at Manchester City and other teams, was found guilty last week of dozens of child sexual offences, including indecent assault, buggery and attempted buggery.

Police have said scores more complainants have come forward since the case started, bringing the number of possible victims to more than 100. “You were the devil incarnate. You stole their childhoods and their innocence to satisfy your own perversion,” Judge Clement Goldstone said as he read out the sentence in a court in Liverpool, northwest England. “Your behaviour towards these boys in grooming and seducing them before subjecting them to, in some cases, the most serious, degrading and humiliating abuse was sheer evil.”

American singer Toni Braxton confirms engagement to Birdman

American singer, songwriter, pianist, record producer, actress, television personality, and philanthropist, Toni Braxton, has officially confirmed her engagement to Birdman.

The 50-year-old He Wasn’t Man Enough For Me crooner made the announcement in a teaser for the upcoming season of her WE TV show, Braxton Family Values.

Florida School Shooting: 15-year-old student in 'bad shape' after taking five bullets shielding his classmates from the attacker’s shots

A 15-year-old student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is facing a “long road ahead” after he was hit five times shielding his classmates from the attacker’s bullets last week.

Anthony Borges, a soccer player, put his body between shooter Nikolas Cruz and his fellow students on Wednesday, according to survivors of the massacre that killed 17.
.
“None of us knew what to do. So, he took the initiative to just save his other classmates,” his friend, Carlos Rodriguez, told ABC News. Rodriguez said that Borges was the last student who fled into a classroom to hide, and blocked bullets from hitting others by standing in the doorway as he tried to lock the room shut. Borges then called his father to tell him he’d been shot.

Paedophile football coach Barry Bennell is branded 'the devil incarnate' as he is jailed for 30 years

The former football coach Barry Bennell was branded “sheer evil” and the “devil incarnate” on Monday after being sentenced to 30 years in prison for subjecting junior players from Manchester City and Crewe Alexandra to hundreds of sexual offences.

Bennell, now facing complaints from another 86 former players, stared at the floor as the judge, Clement Goldstone QC, gave him prison sentences totalling 454 years, to run concurrently.

There were cries of “yes” from the public gallery at Liverpool crown court as he was sentenced to serve the longest individual term of 30 years, with another year on licence. He will be eligible for parole after 15 years.

The judge told Bennell, 64, he had considered imprisoning him for life because of the “trail of psychological devastation” suffered by the victims and said the severity of the sentence was, in part, because the former coach and talent-spotter had shown no remorse for the 12 former players he had raped and molested over several years.

“In one of your [police] interviews you said that, while it might be fair to describe you as manipulative, cunning and even predatory, you were not evil,” Goldstone told him. “You could not have been more wrong. Your behaviour towards these boys in grooming and seducing them to, in some cases, the most serious, degrading and humiliating abuse was sheer evil.

“You knew that to each of these boys football was their life – the career for which they would give anything. And it was the career for which you would take anything and everything they had to offer. You appeared as a god who had it in his gift to help fulfil their ambitions and realise their dreams. In reality, you were the devil incarnate. You stole their childhoods and their innocence to satisfy your own perversion.”
