| Forbes List of Most Powerful Women Raises Eyebrows Posted: 07 Oct 2010 10:26 AM PDT 
The Forbes magazine yesterday released its list of 100 most powerful women of the world & there are many surprise rankings out there. Let's talk about the surprise parts first. Lady Gaga has managed to beat U.S House speaker Nancy Pelosi as well as the Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor in the power race! There's more… the numero uno spot has been handed over to none other than the first lady of America-Michelle Obama. The Forbes list has a mixture of lady politicians, celebs & the who's who of the industry. But the editors seem to have made quite a tricky list here with names like Lady Gaga & Beyonce claiming top spots. The list also features names like Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Chelsea Handler, Heidi Klum, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gisele Bundchen, Rachael Ray and Martha Stewart. And why has the first lady been declared the most influential female? Well, Forbes seems to claim that Mrs. Obama's goodwill efforts for the sake of the U.S military forces and their families, has upped her slot in the power race. The first lady's advocacy for child nutrition betterment is also one of the reasons for her popularity. Forbes have also given her the thumbs up when it comes to her fashion sense, labeling her as 'Jackie Kennedy with a law degree'. The White House Oval Office's new design has also been credited to her. Forbes feels that it proves Michelle Obama happens to be a 'true change-maker since she has literally changed the Oval Office now! Forbes seem to have taken a different approach this time going for 'creative influence and leadership 'as the criteria of judgment. So Lady Gaga claims her slot for 'single-handedly reinvigorated pop music and pop culture.' R&B singer Beyonce Knowles is at number 9 may be because of her earning $80 million last year? Oprah Winfrey comes at number 3 & German Chancellor Angela Merkel at number 4. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's names is seen at number 5 position in the Forbes list of 100 most powerful women on Earth. |
| Karachi Rocked by Blasts: Sufi Community in Mourning Posted: 07 Oct 2010 10:04 AM PDT
The blast occurred during the busiest hours i.e. the evening prayer time when the Sufi shrine was the most crowded. The Abdullah Shah Ghazi shrine is now blood splattered and an anxious crowd is thronging the place to get some news of their dear ones. President Asif Ali Zardari has condemned the attack and asked the people of Karachi to keep calm. Provincial Home Minister Zulfikar Mirza stated that although the Abdullah Shah Ghazi shrine is one of the best protected shrines of Karachi it wasn't possible to have foolproof security there. In a statement he said -”humanly, it is not possible to stop suicide bombers intent on exploding themselves”. He claimed that extremist forces were behind the attack but they wouldn't succeed easily. “We remain committed to fighting these murderers and expelling them from our land,” he said. The shrine is now being carefully examined by the security forces of Pakistan. A cleaning up operation ins underway as bodies are being removed from the place. In lieu of the attack the Sufi community has declared a 3-day mourning period. All Sufi shrines in Karachi will remain closed to show solidarity with the victims and condemn the attacks. An earlier attack in the Data Darbar shrine in Lahore had seen 40 dead & nearly 200 injured last July. The attacks are increasing & there is quite an unrest in the country. The Karachi bomb blast is the second such suicide bombing attack to hit Pakistan. |
| Mahesh Khaleja Movie Review: A very weak comeback for Mahesh Babu Posted: 07 Oct 2010 06:04 AM PDT  Mahesh Khaleja Movie The chocolaty boy is back on screen after a long wait of three years. Mahesh Babu looks as delightful and skilled as ever. But the depressing part is that a team of skillful artistes and technicians are pivotal for a successful movie and here, each one of them has disappointed with a superficial performance. Mahesh has got over scraping his nose with his finger, or gobbling his words and constantly moving with a bended head. Despite of all his efforts, Mahesh Khaleja fails to impress. The major drawback of this movie is the lead actress, Anushka. She is too tall and too old to be paired with the hero and has extremely blank expressions. In other words, she has still to learn the skill of acting which shows in the chemistry between the lead pair, which is an absolute zero. The plot of the movie is monotonous, dreary which is not helped a bit by the average music score of this film. The fifty crores invested in this movie seem to be absolutely wasted. Raju, the cab driver who is worshipped as a God in the movie by the villagers could not do anything to lift the script of Mahesh Khaleja. Mahesh Khaleja is focused on the life of a cab driver who arrives in an unfortunate village where he is looked up to as some divine intervention of God. Raju is confused but sets on a journey to get to the bottom of the mystery. There is nothing new in the movie that Trivikram has not tried before. His abilities as a writer are shown in a very poor light and he is not even able to exploit the true talent of Mahesh. The movie is brimming with violence, lackluster romance and even the dialogue delivery does little to impress. The only highlight of the movie is its lead actor who looks fresh, making his comeback after three long years, but even he has not been given any opportunity to showcase his skills. If you are a big fan of Mahesh Babu and would love to stare at him smiling or dancing, go ahead with the movie. But if you have any expectations beyond that, Mahesh Khaleja is not your cup of tea. |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2010 05:28 AM PDT  Saveliev and Naomi Story Provided by DLN Reader – Andrey Nadezhdin: Biggest Russian airlines Aeroflot is preparing to the change of the Director General. A huge crisis is about to happen in the company. In the company and in the Transport Ministry all this is tied up with the new Vitaliy Saveliev. He has been the head of the company already for 1,5 year. In September Aeroflot pilots wrote an open letter, in which announced a probable strike in December 2010. In the letter pilots proclaimed that crews are working on their physical and psychological limits. All this increases the risk of plane crashes. Because there aren't enough people, pilots have to work 24-hours-a-day, as bus drivers in Egypt. By the end of the year the shortage of 104 pilots is expected. Instead of improving working facilities and increasing their salaries, the top-management of the company is intended to increase the flying time for each pilot from 800 to 900 hours a year. Airhostesses are actively leaving Aeroflot. The reason is scandal, which took place in summer 2010 when photographs were published, which were taken for the calendar for the VIP-passengers of the Aeroflot. A nude airhostess is posing for those photographs. The top-management of the Aeroflot quickly refused to have anything common with it. However, head of the PR-department and several other high-ranked workers were dismissed. This scandal became international. The Trade Union of the Australian airhostesses filed an appeal to the Department of the Civil Aviation of the International Transport Federation. From the point of view of the Trade Union leaders, Aeroflot's calendar humbles airhostesses and provokes sexual harassment’s. But Vitaliy Saveliev is not confused at all. In the mass-media under-controlled by Kremlin he continues speaking about company's achievements. The most important is concealed the increase of the capitalization during his management. Although it's easily explained by the rise of the market after the financial crisis. Considering how few shares are stocked on the market, this increase doesn't influence on the real situation in the company. In spite of the sexual scandal with the calendar, Vitaliy Saveliev hired escort-girl. She's an airhostess. Recently she was promoted and now is working for the pr-department with the salary of 200 000 rubles (a little les than $7000). At the end of September they together made one more trip. This time to Monaco. By the way, everything was paid by the state company. Saveliev's love for women gave one more fruit. Director's photo session with the Naomi Campbell was also paid from the Aeroflot budget. As witnesses notice, rather short Saveliev had to use a stool. But all those "achievements" of the company's director are nothing comparing with the unprecedented for Russia contract for the creation of the new company's advertising catchword. After one million dollars were paid, Aeroflot is now saying about themselves "We just fly. Just better" («ПРОСТО ЛЕТАЕМ. ТОЛЬКО ЛУЧШЕ»). How is it possible? The answer turned out to be very simple. Vitaliy Saveliev is a cousin of the president's Medvedev wife. And it doesn't amuse anyone. In Russia it's still acceptable to set relatives and friends on the most important state positions. Recently the cousin of Vladimir Putin was appointed for the position of the vice-president of the huge Russian bank – "Master Bank". But more and more Russian experts think that considering everything happening in Aeroflot nothing will save Saveliev. Disclaimer: Content provided by Daily Latest News User.

He also gave and earful to the administration of NZTV and the website for showing a lackadaisical approach towards such a sensitive issue.
