Fresh wave of protests hit US as police officer kills black man in Atlanta
ADMIN posted a blog entry in Geo News Blog
Unrest broke out in Atlanta after an officer fatally shot a black man during an arrest promoting fresh anger into protests against racism and police brutality -
At a time when people across the globe are actively raising their voices against the continuous racist attacks over the years and existing deep-rooted racism, here we come across a racist post in our own country. On one hand, people in the United States are protesting against racist police violence through the âBlack Lives Matterâ movement in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by a police officer in broad daylight. On the other hand, here in India, recently parents of a primary school in West Bengal's Burdwan district took to the streets to protest against an illustration that depicted a dark-skinned person as ugly. Till when are we going to relate dark-skinned people with ugliness? What's that sick mentality? Isn't it high time to get over such a regressive mindset? Whether USA or India or any part of the world, discrimination on the basis of the colour is far from over and needs immediate attention. Whatâs more shocking is that such sick mentality is being taught to children right from the beginning. For instance, this recent incident. #WestBengal #government has suspended two women teachers on the charge of #teaching pre-primary students from an #English alphabet book consisting of a portion derogatory to people with dark complexion https://t.co/ROFU6pILeJ â National Herald (@NH_India) June 12, 2020 According to news reports, the illustration in one of the chapters depicted âU for Uglyâ with a photo of a person with dark complexion, next to the word. Thatâs next level derogatory! These little minds are being corrupted by such unethical teaching. When the parents came to know about this, quite naturally, they weren't comfortable with the usage of an image of a black person next to the word âuglyâ in the children's curriculum book on alphabet and words. © BCCL Besides, Majumdar also demanded for the book to be withdrawn as it discriminates against dark skinned people. He said, "This book should be withdrawn soon. In any case, the education being given to children in the name of blacks will work to fill their tender hearts with inferiority complexes and discriminate against blacks. This is wrong." Why not "U" for "UNITY"..? â à¤à¤¤à¥à¤®à¤¨à¤¿à¤°à¥à¤à¤° ã¢ãã (@abhit16) June 12, 2020 Meanwhile, news outlets tried to contact Swapan Kumar Dutt, District Inspector of School Primary Education, who refused to comment on the matter initially. But, he later accepted the fact that such education is not right. He said, "This kind of book is not an official book given by the school. We will still talk to the school about it. If needed the book should be changed." Soon, following a thorough investigation into this sensitive matter, two teachers were suspended with immediate effect. Also, stricter action is to be taken against them. Clearing the stance of the government in this matter, in an interview, Education Minister Partha Chatterjee confirmed that the textbook was not issued by the government. He said, "The book is not part of the text books referred by the education department. It was introduced by the school itself. We have zero tolerance for acts which instill prejudices into the minds of students." Instances like these make us question the existing teaching system in place that pays little to no attention to the existing social evils. Children should be made aware of such sensitive topics right from their childhood rather than corrupting their minds. This particular incident came into light when the father of a student was referring to the textbook and teaching him at home. He immediately informed other parents and the education department about the issue. View the full article

A black man's death at the hands of Minneapolis police has ignited a wave of global outrage -
âThe most luxurious SUV ever madeâ isnât a title that comes overnight. Surviving everything from bankruptcy to changing global economies, Rolls-Royce has thrived for over 113 years now. The company has defined not just the automobile industry at its greatest, but luxury itself - so it isnât surprising that eventually, the minds at Derby, England came up with a vehicle thatâs so stuffed with modern luxury goodies that it weighs about three tons. Still, if you happen to be investment banker royalty, youâd be pleased to know that this special edition Cullinan is worth its weight in gold. Here are a few reasons why. The Worldâs Greatest Doors © Performance Drive/Rolls-Royce It all starts from the second you touch the handles - Rolls-Royce has made their passenger doors rear hinged since the first generation Phantom in 2003, and the originalâs bigger sibling is no exception. Open her up and youâll spot a cubbyhole inside the door panel featuring another classic Rolls experience - noticing that thereâs an actual umbrella inside. Two come with each vehicle, and they both cost close to $700. © Rolls-Royce Sit down, sink your feet into $3000 lambswool floor mats, and press a nearby button to shut the door - you donât even need to close it yourself. Backseat Stargazing Stepping into a Cullinan at night can be pretty breathtaking if this immersive little trick is switched on. Using a complicated array of fibre optics, all hand soldered by a team of dedicated artisans, an array of stars are displayed on the headliner, or ceiling of your cabin. Whatâs unique about the Black Badge is that every now and then, youâll spot tiny shooting stars dash across your eyes. A lame gimmick if any other brand did this, but with Rolls, it looks simply fabulous⦠while costing $12,000. An Insane Seating Experience © Rolls-Royce Everywhere on the Cullinan Black Badge, youâll spot the infinity loop symbol - and nowhere is this more apparent than right in the back seat. The seats themselves have all the luxury gimmicks youâd expect, but with cooled seats, massage settings, touchscreen panels that fold at the push of a button and a refrigeration unit - with the choice of uncooled liquor or cooled. Thereâs even champagne flutes and a couple shot glasses, so you can toast to the $18,000 bill. The Greatest Upholstery In Car Making © Rolls-Royce You will find leather on every conceivable surface, as expected, but the thoughtfulness of Rollsâ designers here is subtle and quite brilliant. Even the climate control dials are coated with a layer of stitched leather, making sure that from the moment you step into the car, you rarely touch any other material. © Rolls-Royce Pair this with rear seat leather cushions and complete freedom with customisation, and youâll rarely want to leave this thing. If you come up to Rolls with a unique colour or pattern, theyâll have it for you. No questions asked. The Engine © Rolls-Royce Well, it's not just what meets the eye. After all, to pull a 3-ton beast you need a powerful engine, right? Powering all of this opulence is a 6.7L V12 with 600 horses on tap - a healthy 37 more than the base model. Pair that with a superb all-wheel setup and an 8-speed gearbox, and your chauffeur is sure to enjoy himself too. View the full article

We often forget this but when it comes to dropping some serious style, southern film stars are in no way behind their B-Town counterparts. If Bollywood has Shahid Kapoor, Tollywood has Vijay Deverakonda. If Mumbai has Amitabh Bachchan and Jackie Shroff, Chennai has Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan. Essentially, like we said, when it comes to fashion, our southern celebs know a thing or two. © Viral Bhayani Allu Arjunâs style, in particular, is something that really has the ability to turn heads and drop some dapper style goals, most of which, men can easily cop for any occasion. Just recently, he was spotted in an all-black, monochrome outfit that can easily be considered to be the forerunner, if Ninjas ever made a comeback in todayâs time. © Viral Bhayani All jokes aside, Alluâs outfit was actually a great way to go all black while pulling off the monochrome aesthetic. Allu was seen wearing a very basic black jumper from SuperDry, a black jogger, and black sneakers, which, given his tall and leaning built, actually gives him an even more towering physique. © Viral Bhayani Alluâs manner of pulling off the monochrome ensemble is actually quite nice and spot on. Basically, if you plan on going monochrome, this is how you should be going about it. © Viral Bhayani The greying text and graphics on the solid black colour gives the overall ensemble the much-needed break in the colour that the outfit needs. That, along with the red bands on the temple of the sunglasses also add to the appeal of both: the sunglasses themselves as well as the overall outfit. © Viral Bhayani Coming to the sneakers, they have the aesthetic of some form of Yeezys. Irrespective of whether they indeed are or not, we have to say that the sneakers do complement the ensemble in a great manner. © Viral Bhayani All in all, thatâs actually a great outfit, and if going stealthy is something that you are looking for, take cues from this one. A great ensemble to catch a flight in, especially if you are famous and want to maintain a low profile. © Viral Bhayani Take a bow, Allu. A dapper outfit indeed. View the full article

Kartik Aaryan has never shied away from sartorial experiments, and he can legit claim that he has almost never failed at pulling off anything he has tried. Be it statement jackets or strange sneakers, he has always maintained a playful aesthetic when it comes to his wardrobe. While it may be a popular perception that whatever celebs wear can't be worn by us because they are extremely expensive, Kartik just proved it wrong by wearing a pair of sneakers which are actually affordable. © Viral Bhayani © Viral Bhayani Kartik Aaryan wore a pair of sneakers that are inspired by the black adder snake. We love how playfully wild they are, thanks to the black and yellow snake-patterned sole. Also, what caught our focus was the price point of the shoes. © Hummel Kartik is wearing the Marathona Black Adder sneakers by Hummel, that costs somewhere around 60 Euros post discount. When converted to INR, it costs about Rs. 4,700. © Hummel The wild soles of the sneakers coupled with the black scaly surface clearly show us the inspiration behind the sneakers, and it doesn't get better when it comes to inspired pieces. © Hummel We're just glad this is one pair we can actually afford.

Iran refuses to hand over crashed Boeing 737 black box to Americans
ADMIN posted a blog entry in Geo News Blog
TEHRAN: Iran has reportedly refused to hand over the black box from the Ukraine International Airlines 737 to planemaker Boeing, according to Reuters. Iran's aviation authority has said it would not hand over to Americans the recovered black boxes of a Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737 that crashed Wednesday, killing all 176 passengers and crew. "We will not give the black boxes to the manufacturer (Boeing) and the Americans," Iran Civil Aviation Organisation head Ali Abedzadeh said, quoted by Mehr news agency. "It's not yet clear which country the black box will go to for the investigation," he said. "This accident will be investigated by Iran's aviation organisation but the Ukrainians can also be present during the incident´s investigation," he added. Also read: Ukrainian jet crashes in Iran; all 176 on board dead The Ukraine International Airlines aircraft crashed on Wednesday morning shortly after it took off from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini airport. All 176 passengers on the flight were killed in the crash. An earlier statement on the crash from the Ukrainian embassy in Tehran said the crash had occurred due to engine failure. However, a second statement from the embassy omitted the word engine failure from its statement, saying that previous comments made regarding the cause of the crash were not official. Ukrainian Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk announced a ban on all flights from Ukraine's airlines through Iran's airspace starting tomorrow (Thursday). Airlines have swung into action to avoid using Iran and Iraq's air spaces after Irani forces launched multiple ballistic missiles at two military bases in Iraq housing US and coalition forces. Qantas, Etihad, Singapore Airlines and Emirates have announced they will change their flight paths to avoid the two countries' air spaces. Read more: Iran missile strike: Tehran claims 80 dead in attack on US bases Iran said it had attacked the military bases in retaliation for the killing of its Al Quds commander, Qassem Soleimani. The Iranian general was killed at the Baghdad international airport on Friday by a US strike ordered by President Trump, triggering tensions between Washington and Tehran. The US claimed it had killed Soleimani as he had orchestrated attacks on American troops in Iraq and was responsible on the attack on the US embassy in Iraq earlier. Iran had vowed to take 'severe revenge' from the United States for killing Soleimani, who was a celebrated commander in the country credited with enhancing the country's influence in the Middle East and defeating militias hostile to Tehran. -

Whenever Bollywood stars start promoting their films, you can always expect them to bring their A-game. From some seriously sassy replies to not-so-intelligent questions posed by journalists to some of the best sartorial pieces on the market, you can rely on our B-towners to do something that's downright trendsetting. © Viral Bhayani And the latest one to do something like that is Akshay Kumar, when he was out promoting his upcoming film, Housefull 4. © Viral Bhayani Akshay was spotted in a rather cool and hip all-black jumpsuit, which in all honesty is one of the best onesies we have seen being worn by a Bollywood biggie. © Viral Bhayani The jumpsuit, thanks to its minimalistic design, and militaristic construction, has a very utilitarian appeal to itself, which sits really well with the current state of the streetwear in India. © Viral Bhayani The big bulky pockets further add to the utilitarian feel of the jumpsuit. What we really love about the jumpsuit is the manner in which the stitch-on patches, add a bit of spunk to the outfit. The patches really elevate an otherwise very simple jumpsuit to a whole new level. © Viral Bhayani The bare minimalist choice of accessories, i.e. the G-Shock watch that Akshay has paired the outfit with, and the subtly hidden silver or platinum chain, is an A-plus choice. © Viral Bhayani Coming to the shoes, Akshay is seen wearing a pair of Orange Balenciagas Speed Trainers, which retail for about $780 or Rs 55,500 when converted. Add on the usual import duties and taxes and you are looking at pair of really hip 'sock' trainers that'll set your bank balance back by almost Rs 70,000. If you can find them in retail stores, that is. © Farfetch The thing with most Balenciagas is, that because they have a very limited production run, finding a pair after a year they were first introduced is a little tough. The now French luxury fashion brand themselves have replaced the Orange Speed with a pair of burgundy ones. © Farfetch If you are thinking of dabbling with either athleisure or streetwear, this is one hell of a way to go. © Viral Bhayani Kudos, Akshay! Well done.

Black Shark 2, the gaming phone that we've been waiting to get our hands on for a long time, is finally here in India. It packs pretty much everything that you'd expect from a gaming phone in 2019 like a powerful Snapdragon 855 processor, up to 12GB of RAM and more. Let's check it out. To start with, the Black Shark 2 packs a 6.39-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio and 2340×1080 pixels resolution. It's doesn't have a 90Hz display like the OnePlus 7 Pro, but the display takes advantage of features like “Fast Finger” and “Magic Touchh”, and has a 43.5ms response time. The “Magic Press” tech, in case you're wondering, works like Apple's 3D display, meaning you'll be able to press down harder on the display to actuate different functions. © Black Shark Internally, the Black Shark 2 is powered by Qualcomm's 7nm Snapdragon 855 chipset, coupled with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. It also features Liquid Cooling 3.0 for even improved heat dissipation. There are 2 vapour chambers and a copper plate inside the phone to keep things cool while gaming. As for the optics, the Black Shark 2 sports dual rear cameras with a 48MP (f/1.75) primary sensor and 12MP (f/2.2) secondary sensor. On the front, there's a 20MP (f/2.0) selfie shooter. The phone also comes equipped with a huge 4,000 mAh battery for which Black Shark is also including a USB Type-C 27W fast-charger. © YouTube All these beefy internals are packed inside a body that looks kickass from the outside. The company says the phone's ergonomic design resembles that of a sports car. Seriously, the Black Shark 2 looks like a true gaming phone with its curvaceous build and metal+glass design. Oh BTW, the phone also comes with LED strips on the edges and a glowing Black Shark logo at the back. Black Shark 2 Accessories In addition to the phone itself, the company also showcased a bunch of accessories to go along with it. There's a fancy cooling fan attachment and switch-style dual controllers. Lastly, you can also get an HDMI to USB Type-C cable and use the “console mode” to hook it up to, say, a TV. Pricing and Availability The Black Shark 2 gaming phone has been launched at Rs. 39,999 in India for the base variant with 6GB RAM & 128GB storage. You can also get your hands on the 8GB+128GB variant for Rs. 49,999. The phone will exclusively be available for sale on Flipkart from 4th June.

The popular 'Men In Black' series began in the year 2007, where Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones took the franchise by storm playing MIB agents. The two worked under an outfit that fought against aliens who trespassed Earth and protected it from their vile attacks. Besides that, the agents, who're human were tasked to monitor aliens residing on earth. The last franchise was released in 2012 which also starred Josh Brolin the younger version of agent 'K'. Honestly, I absolutely loved the trilogy, especially with K aka Tommy Lee Jones' stoic expressions and dry sense of humour and agent J aka Will Smith's playful antics and, of course, both of them kicking alien asses, all the way back to the moon. © Sony Pictures Releaing Now, we have 'Men In Black- International' the fourth part of the series releasing this year on June 14th and we can't keep it together, because the trailer looks really badass, with some new elements drawn in. The sad part though is that we don't have the regular partners in crime this time, and that's the kinda camaraderie we're really going to miss. But fret not, 'MIB International' promises another alien invasion and two agents looking so kick some alien ass! Check out the trailer here: Here are 5 awesome takeaways from 'Men In Black International': 1. The New Agents Look Swell As Hell Unfortunately, 'MIB International' won't have Will Smith's songs that sample Patrice Rushen songs. In fact, Will and Tommy have stepped back from the franchise and we have Chris Hemsworth & Tessa Thomspon as the new London-based agents. They'll be playing agent H and agent M respectively. The two of them are coming together again after 'Thor: Ragnarok' and ironically this time, they're fighting some wicked aliens together. © Sony Pictures Releasing 2. 'MIB International' Has An Absolutely New Spin-Off The film is actually being compared to 'Jurassic World', where after three parts of the franchise, a bigger spin-off was adapted, with stunning CGI and a bigger plot line. 'MIB International' is doing something similar. They're introducing new aliens, weapons, and characters while acknowledging the previous films and the characters in the series. © Sony Pictures Releasing 3. The Plot Seems Unique According to Sony's description, the plot is larger than life, definitely bigger and better than any of the other MIB movies earlier. How? Well, the new recruits tackle their biggest, most global threat to date ever- a mole in the Men In Black organisation. Now that is something to really look forward to! © Sony Pictures Releasing 4. More Extraterritorial MIB Agents! The earlier MIB movies always had a dozen alien species that the MIB used to regularly keep a check on. A few of them were MIB agents themselves. The new movie seems to have a lot more extraterritorial MIB agents according to the trailer. Maybe one of them is a mole, trying to propagate reign of its particular species on earth? © Sony Pictures Releasing 5. MIB 'International' This one's called MIB 'International' for a reason. While the previous movies were pretty much local, where we'd see agent 'K' and agent 'J' tackling aliens found in the United State, this one's based more on a global scale. Of course, there are aliens all over the world and the U.S. doesn't have to save the world all the bloody time! The MIB organisation in the movie is based out of London and they will show MIB bases in other countries. More alien species are likely to be seen, different from what you've seen when the movie was based out of the U.S. © Sony Pictures Releasing Apart from all this, the movie has a stellar cast and crew. It's directed by Felix Gary Gray and written by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. We've already told you who's in the lead fighting the damn aliens but we also have Liam Neeson as the head of London MIB base and Rebecca Furguson, whose role is still a mystery, which means it's something important. Emma Thompson will be reprising her role as agent 'O' from MIB 3, which could also mean, MIB International has some connection with MIB 3. Well, there's only one way to find out, isn't there? Book your seats for June 14th, 2019!

April 10 will probably go down in history as a huge day for science and for the entire humankind. Discussions on black holes have been going on for ages, but no one ever knew what it looked like. Until yesterday, when astronomers gave the world its first ever image of a black hole found in Galaxy M87 and let's just say we're shook. © Twitter Currently, everyone across the world is talking about the black hole and so is businessman Anand Mahindra, but in his own desi style. When the National Science Foundation shared the image of the black hole on Twitter, Anand Mahindra's 'sweet tooth' wrote, "One of the theories of the origin of our Universe is that it was born out of a black hole... So in the end, we are all inheritors of an intergalactic dunkin donuts franchise." One of the theories of the origin of our Universe is that it was born out of a black hole... So in the end, we are all inheritors of an intergalactic dunkin donuts franchise....ð https://t.co/cpohkKPyJd — anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) April 10, 2019 Well, Mahindra is not alone in thinking so. The Internet is flooded with hilarious memes and jokes comparing the black hole to literally anything in the world. However, filmmaker Ram Subramanian wasn't too happy with his interpretation and wrote, "The South Indian in me is upset that you did not consider using Giant Wada to be the genesis of our universe." The South Indian in me is upset that you did not consider using Giant Wada to be the genesis of our universe. — Ram Subramanian (@VORdotcom) April 10, 2019 To which Mahindra then hilariously replied, "A thousand apologies. Wada it is. And the cosmic soup is a giant Sambar bowl." Well, now that the black hole is being called 'Wada in Sambar' can we officially change 'The Milky Way' into 'The Sambar Way'? ðð½ðð½ðð½ A thousand apologies. Wada it is. And the cosmic soup is a giant Sambar bowl. https://t.co/AHZB52IYvZ — anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) April 10, 2019 According to some reports, the black hole (which appears to be like a tiny doughnut) actually measures three million times the size of the Earth and is in a Galaxy that is 53 million light-years from the Earth. It was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), using a network of eight radio telescopes located across the world.

You may have heard that scientists finally unveiled the first picture of a black hole yesterday, unless you were inside a black hole yourself. The image is groundbreaking news for mankind but of course, we came across some hilarious memes that stole the thunder. A team of astronomers revealed the image yesterday in a press conference and the image was captured using radio telescoped called the “Event Horizon Telescope.” The black hole measures 40 billion km across and is three million times the size of our planet. Having said that, anything that breaks the internet has to be fodder to memes and hilarious tweets that's now become a norm. If you want to know more about the black hole image, you can read about it in detail here.
