Vijender singh refuses to give blood sample

2013-04-16T18:40:00.003+05:30

Punjab police grilled Olympian boxer Vijender Singh on Monday for more than three hours in connection with the recent Rs. 130-crore drug haul. Vijender maintained that he had never taken drugs, but refused to give blood and hair samples for forensic tests. The boxer said he had “no problem going in for tests with an agency like NADA that has the latest scientific equipment”.

On March 7, Punjab Police recovered 26 kg of heroin from Canada-based alleged smuggler Anoop Singh Kahlon’s house in Zirakpur, 16km from Chandigarh. During questioning, Kahlon revealed that Vijender and his fellow boxer Ram Singh were his “customers”. Later, in an interview to ABP News, Ram Singh said both he and Vijender had been experimenting with heroin.

Top police sources claim in February alone Vijender and Kahlon had spoken on the phone at least a dozen times, while Ram and Kahlon had exchanged over 50 calls during the same time.

Instead of taking Vijender to Fatehgarh Sahib — where Ram Singh and others are being questioned — Punjab Police chose to grill him in Panchkula in Haryana as he is a DSP in that state.

He was given the post after he won a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Police quizzed him about the nature of his association with Kahlon, the number of times he visited his Zirakpur residence and about the unusual frequency of telephone calls between the two.

Failing to make any headway in the probe, police resorted to an unusual mode of questioning. For instance, they asked Vijender about his property details, whether he could remember who was the last woman he had spoken to and if his wife knew about it.

Punjab Police wrote down Vijender's statement in Punjabi but the boxer refused to sign it saying that he doesn't know the language.

How to Know if You Are Ready to Take Your Microsoft Certification Exam

2013-02-20T08:44:00.000+05:30

Training for a new Microsoft certification can be a very challenging process, especially for those of us who are trying to balance career, family, and life in general. After going through the rigors of training and learning that is required, finally arriving to your certification exam is no doubt a huge relief. But, how do you know if you’re really prepared to prove your knowledge on a difficult certification exam?

After all, you don’t want to waste time and money by failing the exam and having to go to the trouble of re-taking it. Self assessment is one of the most importing things you can do as you prepare for your exam. Testing your knowledge at various checkpoints along the way can help you to determine your readiness.

This can be accomplished by the use of training course materials or by using a study guide, like those produced by Testslive, which enable you to practice with real Microsoft exam questions in the same format and style that you can expect on the real exam. The best part about a self-assessment tool like Testslive exam simulator is that you can evaluate your skills as often as you like, which will reveal specific strengths and weaknesses in your mastery of the focus area that you’re certifying in.

Once you identify your weak points or the concepts you are struggling with, you can then focus on trying to understand and learn more about those areas. Another great strategy is to explain the concepts verbally to a study partner. When you can successfully answer questions that were once your weak points and can “teach” the concepts to another person, you will know that you have the understanding needed to answer any Microsoft certification exam question.

There are a lot of plugins or 3rd party apps available today that you can add to your WordPress blog and allow visitors to share your content on whatever social network they want. You must be wondering what is so special about this new plugin. Read on to learn more about it.

Facebook is the most visited social network today, and with the arrival of open graph, users are allowed to read news/content from social reading apps within the Facebook itself. You may know by now that whenever you connect your account to some social reader app and read an article, it automatically publish the activity to your Facebook Timeline. With the help of this latest plugin, Facebook has offered all WordPress site owners to have a social plugin on their sites, which can be installed and set up in a few minutes.

The plugin, Facebook for WordPress, allows site owners to cross-publish their WordPress blog post on their Facebook Timeline and Pages they own. It installs like any other WordPress plugin so you shouldn’t be having any difficulty in installing the plugin. Once installed, go to the plugin page, and you’ll be welcomed with the guide on how to create a Facebook app for your page and connect it with your WordPress blog.

The first thing you’ll need to do is create a Facebook app for your blog. It’s easy, you can find many articles covering the app creation guide. If you already have the app for your blog, you just have to get App ID, Secret ID and Namespace at Facebook Developers page. These things are required to connect your Facebook account with your WordPress blog so you’ll be able to add social functionality to your blog.

Once connected, you can now check the boxes by going through the options you want to have in your blog. Suppose you only want to publish the blog post on your Facebook Timeline, check the first box and keep all the boxes unchecked. In addition to that, you’ll need to grant permission for the app you just created to publish automatically on your behalf. You can also cross-post your blog content on the Facebook pages you oversee. You can preset the message you want to show as part of the Facebook post from the new custom fields in the WordPress post editor. Also, you will now be able to mention your friends or pages in posts.

More options at the Plugin page allows you to easily add Like Button, Subscribe Button, Send Button underneath the blog content. Two features that I like the most from the plugin is Facebook Comments and Recommendations Bar. Adding Facebook comments into a WordPress blog was never so easy. If you want Facebook comment box under every post of your blog, just check the box that says ‘Comments’ and you’re done. Isn’t it super easy?

The Recommendations Bar is one such feature that blog owners would love to add in their blogs but it might annoy the readers. The Recommendations Bar, when enabled from the plugin’s page, add a bar at the bottom right (by default) on all the article pages and allows visitors to like, get recommendations and share what they’re reading with their friends as they go.

The bar has a ‘Social Plugin’ feature, if visitors want to activate it, they just need to click on ‘Social Reading is Off’ and authorize the blog app, and then every single article they read on your blog will automatically be posted on their Timelines as well. The plugin is quite useful for me, as no coding is required to add this kind of functionality to the blog, and I hope it’ll come very handy for you too. Note that only WordPress.org and WordPress VIP users can use the plugin. I recommend you to try this plugin. Your views?

Siddarth, Ram’s brother has been caught for his fraud act in company’s dealings and thus Priya is released from jail, which will soon be followed byNiharika’s death in an accident in the coming episodes.

I was playing my age character of Niharika in the show which was loved by the audience. But I’m not at all convinced in playing a grandmother role. Losing 10 kilos doesn’t fit me in grandmother category at any cost.”

Whether the storyline will hold audience’s attention after the leap and vicious Niharika’s death, we will come to know in the upcoming episodes.

Samsung Galaxy S3 to come with different design in South Korea

2012-06-14T21:34:00.001+05:30

The last week gave us a shock when we came across that all the U.S. Galaxy S3 versions will beinheriting the similar design just like the international version, along with adapting the same product name, GT-19300.

Samsung has engaged itself to assure the carriers so that they can sell officially the same Galaxy S3 version in the country (though few differences will exist ranging from model to model, be it 3G or 4G. Of course our buyers will certain like such models and praise them too).

But news is also doing the rounds that in a particular country, Samsung most probably might be revealing a purely distinct design of the smartphone.

As reported by the Mobile Phone Blog earlier, the South Korean Galaxy S3 version will beapproaching with an altogether distinct design. You can notice the image displayed below with a slight difference among both which has been guessed by Mobile Phone Blog, although the rumored app is yet to be approved in the market.

It has been assumed that the Korean version of the Galaxy S3 will inculcate a similar design equal to Galaxy Note and Galaxy S2. As per the beliefs, the uneven rounded corners of the smartphone might be succeeding the square design. Whatever may be the length and breadth of the international version, the app looks like showcasing a hugger display than the earlier.

What are the ideas going on in your mind? It is quite odd to even believe that Samsung company will be revealing a completely distinct Galaxy S3 version in South Korea itself, mainly after the controversies and commotions it might have passed through to confirm that the North American phone versions won’t be transported, keeping in mind the carriers’ wishes.

Nothing can be much said about the distinct design of Galaxy S3 in South Korea till the revealing of Android smartphone there.

So keep continuing your guesses about the new design of the app. What will you prefer, the assumed smartphone of Korean version or the international designed version of the app, only the time will tell!

Sonakshi Sinha to perform on ‘Munni Badnam’ at IIFA 2012

2012-06-14T21:17:00.000+05:30

Actress Sonakshi Sinha is going for a slight twist with her current image. She is all geared up to dance on the song ‘Munni badnam’ at the upcoming IIFA awards show showing her jhumkas-n-thumkas. The IIFA show began in Singapore from yesterday June 7 and end on Saturday June 9.

The actress is getting into the dance steps of Malaika Arora Khan’s Munni Badnaam Hui, the super-hit item number which is of course from Sonakshi’s debut film Dabangg. Hence she’s excited and will try her level best to give her best performance at IIFA, as per the media reports.

But Malaika herself might not be happy hearing this as she is the original Munni from Dabangg film. It was reported that in 2010 sports awards show, Malaika was not at all pleased when Sonakshi performed on her number which was also her stage debut.

Though Rowdy Rathore movie has been successful, but Sonakshi is not that much praised for her acting as her co-actor Akshay Kumar who is applauded by the critics for his commendable stunts by himself.

In Dabangg being her first film, Sonakshi had played a small town girl’s role and in her second film Rowdy Rathore she was seen as a girl from Patna, though using same dialects for both of her films.

Sonakshi’s upcoming film is Shirish Kunder’s directed ‘Joker’ yet again acting with Akshay Kumar. This time her character will be different. The dance performance on Munni might be to gain a new image before she switches over to Joker.

On Saturday night, the award show will also see the super-rocking dance performances by Shahid Kapur, Priyanka Chopra, Sonakshi Sinha, Bipasha and Ranbir Kapoor, being choreographed by the talented dance guru Prabhu Deva.

Apple asks judge for ban on Galaxy S III before US launch

2012-06-08T09:01:00.001+05:30

It seems Samsung might have withdrawn itself by obtaining five significant US carriers to choose almost similar versions of Galaxy S III. But Apple won’t be launching the smartphone evenly as anticipated in US. It is assumed to be taking a twist here.

A request file towards Judge Koh has been issued by Cupertino-based company regarding theban of Samsung’s Android smartphone in US, before it gets shipped in this month-end.

Apple has particularly appealed the judge telling him to make an addition of Galaxy S III to itspresent motion, especially for a prior authoritative order against the Galaxy Nexus. The discussion on this matter is organized for tomorrow.

Apple asserts that Galaxy S III is quite alike the Galaxy Nexus to be tied in the similar motion, and if by chance it acquires its own way out, it need not put forward a new request. Samsung may most probably be obstructed by Apple before the customers obtain its new apps in their hands.

Apple hasn’t made its point clear yet if or not the other two patents [slide to unlock and keyboard suggestions] are also breaching. Apple tells that mostly because of their resemblance, both the handsets can be assessed together.

Samsung reacted, “This process should not be implemented on two days’ notice period and with no genuine record” and “the addition of a new product to this motion would surely make alterations to the assessment of all four preliminary injunction factors.”

Samsung further adds that if Apple has an intention to obtain a prior injunction against Galaxy S III, it should make passage for a different motion, and hence both the parties need more time to review on this proof. Let’s wait and see if Apple’s request gets further approval from judge Koh!

Vishal said to a daily, “TheKorbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo Re anthem has been successful for the team till date. It is related to the victory which everyone witnessed and enjoyed this season. The new version will reflect theentertainment-filled Bengali culture.”

Vishal added, “I can’t say anything about such development, though I’m in continuous touch with SRK and Akon. Only the tune of the chorus will be the same whereas rest will change.”

Sujoy Ghosh told, “One word I assume I would connect with SRK and his team is ‘Rongbaaj’. I was pleased to see the attitude of SRK and his team. The effort that the team showed in winning the finals, thumbs-up to them. They have all rights to enjoy the victory. Rongbaaj exactly fits the bill.” Discussions are still going on between Sujoy and Vishal.

Akon had earlier sung SRK’s Ra One’s ‘Chammak Chhallo’ and ‘Criminal’ with both having Hindi lyrics. Akon had carried off the songs very well.

Well it will be quite interesting to see Akon singing the new version of ‘Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo Re’.Hope this upcoming version will work wonders for KKR and his team!

Air India to get three Boeing Dreamliners this month

2012-06-08T08:57:00.001+05:30

Air India Ltd. will be acquiring three first 787 Dreamliner jet planes from Boeing Co in the end of this month. This has been informed by our country’s civil aviation minister Ajit Singh on Wednesday June 6, as he further went on to say that the two companies have settled the long argument related to compensation from the U.S. plane maker for delay of delivery. Thecompensation figure hasn’t been revealed by the minster.

Plans have been put in to deliver long-range planes plus hiring new pilots for local and overseas flights which would help overcome the losses made by Air India earlier of flight cancellations because of pilot’s month-long strike.

Mr. Singh told in the conference that for the first 6 to 8 weeks, the carrier will be using the twin-aisle planes to function the domestic flights. Later fromAugust aircraft will be used on international flightstowards London, and from September by flights towards Australia.

For the last five years, Air India faced continuous loses because of high fuel rise and also interest costs.

Mr. Ajit Singh added that Air India won’t restore those 101 pilots who were dismissed because of strike. He told, “Those pilots have to reapply when Air India advertises for required vacancies.”

By November Air India will extend its international flights further. Mr. Singh proposed a plan which involves continuing the flights towards Hong Kong from July and starting flights to Kuala Lumpur from August. Hong Kong flight will persist to give service to Seoul and Osaka from August.

Talaash delayed again to December 7

2012-06-08T08:55:00.000+05:30

Director Reema Kagti’s Talaash starring Aamir Khan has been continuously delayed right from this year beginning, but it will now be released on December 7.

The latest change of date has no connection with Aamir’s marketing strategies, but mainly related to superstition, as told by the insiders. Mr. Perfectionist’s three of the box-office hits including Ghajini, Taare Zameen Par and 3 Idiots got released in December around the Christmas time. So maybe this is the cause of shifting the Talaash release date to first week of December, being alucky month for Aamir! Still nothing has been known regarding the date change.
Reasons for Talaash delayed

Director Reema Kagti might be thinking, when will her thriller movie Talaash be released finally, as it has been yet again postponed!

This year the film was decided to be released onJanuary 26.

Then reports came to the forefront that Aamir was quite anxious to change the climax of Talaash which was much alike Vidhya Balan’s Kahaani, so it was rescheduled on June 1.

In between the trailer of Talaash released which was extremely exciting to watch.

As because Aamir became busy with his home production TV show ‘Satyamave Jayate’ which began from June first week, the film headed towards November 30 release.

Though no particular reason is known, but the film is delayed further by a week, to be released onDecember 7.

Salman’s Dabangg 2 might occupy Chritmas slot, obviously Aamir’s Talaash won’t want to come across his friend’s release date.

Akshay Kumar’s Khiladi 786 which is also due on December 7 release and Aamir’s Talaash on the same date might have unfavorable implications on both of the them, unless one party cedes the date. But of course both will have different genres of audience.
