A 21-year-old Kannada small screen actor died while undergoing a fat reduction surgery at a private hospital in Bengaluru on Monday. V. Chethana, a resident of Abbigere and daughter of K. Varadaraju, was admitted to Dr. Shetty’s Cosmetic Centre in Rajajinagar for the surgery on Monday. Her family has alleged that she died due to a botched-up procedure. However, the doctor, who performed the procedure, denied that there was any negligence, and said the actor developed fat embolism resulting in pulmonary edema soon after the three-hour procedure. Based on a complaint filed by Mr. Varadaraju, the Subramanyanagar police on Tuesday registered a case under section 174 C of the Cr.PC and are awaiting the post-mortem report.

Endgame why did iron man die
A player of 60s vintage who showed us what 2020s might be like
It is impossible to be objective about death. If it involves an accident that ends a sportsman’s life prematurely, you think about his family; then you ask, did he live up to potential? That question can seldom be answered in the positive, for it is human nature to believe that the next event will be the determining one, the next assignment will establish the legacy. Those who play sport at the highest level are judged by performance and not on potential. Once a career is over, there is no room for could-have-beens. Whatever problems the late Shane Warne had outside the sport, he will always count as one of the all-time greats, his 708 Test wickets testimony to that. Did he live up to potential? It doesn’t matter. What we know is good enough to guarantee him a place among the finest. Andrew Symonds was a cricketer of 1960s vintage who played in the 2000s and showed us what the 2020s might be like. He was a throwback to an age where the sport wasn’t an all-consuming task-master, … [Read more...] about A player of 60s vintage who showed us what 2020s might be like
The pilot who suffered a medical emergency midflight is home from the hospital
The pilot who fell unconscious last week during a flight landed by a passenger with no idea how to fly a plane has made a recovery that his doctor is calling “a miracle.” The ability of passenger Darren Harrison, 39, to successfully land a Cessna 208 that was in a nosedive over Florida not only saved all three people on board from crashing, but it also gave doctors a chance to save the pilot. Harrison landed the plane at Palm Beach International Airport, where emergency personnel then rushed the pilot to St. Mary’s Medical Center before he was transferred to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. The pilot, whose name has not been released, is now out of the hospital and resting at home after he underwent surgery for an aortic dissection , according to the hospital.

Pastor at Calif. church describes takedown of gunman, how wife helped
The Rev. Billy Chang was only about a dozen steps away from the gunman when shots erupted Sunday, he recalls in a group message. Some 140 members of the Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church, which holds services at the Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California, had gathered for a luncheon to honor Chang, a beloved former pastor who had just returned from Taiwan. Chang, 68, described standing on a podium and watching the gunman “randomly aim at the crowd and shoot,” he said Monday in a message sent to a seminary group on Line messaging app, shared with and verified by NBC Asian America. “At first, I thought it was a toy gun, and it was a prank. At that time, I didn’t even know I should hide.” Chang ran down the stage, grabbed a chair and threw it at the shooter . When the gunman fell and dropped the weapon, Chang and other congregants subdued him until police arrived. Chang’s wife, Yu Ling, told the Los Angeles NBC News affiliate that she threw the gun in the … [Read more...] about Pastor at Calif. church describes takedown of gunman, how wife helped
Caroline Crouch’s dad breaks silence after her husband was convicted of murder
The heartbroken family of murdered Brit Caroline Crouch say they are glad her killer husband has been sent to one of Europe's worst jails. Pilot Babis Anagnostopoulos admitted killing Caroline, 20, as she lay asleep in front of their baby daughter and killing his wife's puppy to make it look like there had been a break-in. He denied murder but was found guilty. The 34-year-old will become a "broken man" in the notorious prison where he will serve his life sentence and will never see his daughter again, Caroline's dad said. Anagnostopoulos, branded an "odious creature" by her family, was jailed for premeditated murder, animal abuse, perverting the course of justice and lying to authorities at a court in Athens. He will serve around 18 years behind bars at the maximum security Korydallos jail, home to some of the most violent criminals in the country. Anagnostopoulos will spend around 18 years behind bars in one of Europe's most notorious prisons ( Image: AFP via … [Read more...] about Caroline Crouch’s dad breaks silence after her husband was convicted of murder
Sexual misconduct allegations against presidents have a long history; George H.W. Bush is latest
Former President George H.W. Bush was accused this week of sexually assaulting a woman and the man now sitting in the Oval Office has more than a dozen women accusing him of sexual misconduct. But long before public allegations against presidents became more common, the legacy of alleged sexual abuse and harassment from men leading the nation stretches back to America's earliest days, spanning leaders both iconic and obscure. Here's a look at the long history of presidential allegations: 1. Thomas Jefferson One of the Founding Fathers was a rapist. Historians often talk discuss Sally Heming's "relationship" with President Thomas Jefferson, or refer to her as his "mistress." In reality, Hemings was Jefferson's slave who he raped whenever he wanted and later impregnated with six children born into slavery. "Romanticizing Hemings and Jefferson's so-called relationship minimizes the deadly imbalance of power that black people suffered under before the Civil War," Britni … [Read more...] about Sexual misconduct allegations against presidents have a long history; George H.W.

Why Indians Should Be Allowed to Question the ‘Great Muslim Conqueror’ Theory of History
Where do babies come from? We understand if a number of parents have difficulty answering this question when their kids ask them. That is why we have the education system. But what do you do when educators, academics, intellectuals and media have difficulty answering basic questions? Where does Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb come from? Open the doors of Gyanvapi mosque and let everyone see. No, you can’t look inside Gyanvapi mosque. There is this or that plea pending in the Supreme Court, and various other courts, to stop the videography. Then there is the supposed idea of India, something called places of worship act, this act or that act. If the Church could come back and have that argument with Galileo all over again, they would certainly appreciate our zeal to make facts illegal. You cannot ban history on the basis of ideology. But we have been trying exactly that. In the seven decades since independence, we have served ourselves with an invented version of history that can only be seen … [Read more...] about Why Indians Should Be Allowed to Question the ‘Great Muslim Conqueror’ Theory of History
Heartbroken widower pays tribute to murdered PCSO Julia James who ‘couldn’t do enough’
A heartbroken husband has paid tribute to a PCSO who “couldn’t do enough” for others as a “strange, highly sexualised” loner was found guilty of her brutal murder. Speaking outside court, widowed Paul James fought back tears as he spoke of his “amazing” wife Julia who was ambushed in the woods while walking her dog in April 2021. Jurors took just over an hour to convict Callum Wheeler, 22, of bludgeoning the 53-year-old grandmother to death with a 3kg railway jack handle. Mr James described his wife, who worked supporting victims of domestic abuse, as the “funniest person I have ever met”, adding: "She just helped everybody, she just couldn't do enough."

DA: Church gunman wanted to ‘execute’ as many as possible
By AMY TAXIN and STEFANIE DAZIO SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — The man charged with opening fire on a Taiwanese church congregation of mainly elderly people in Southern California wanted to “execute in cold blood as many people in that room as possible,” a prosecutor said Tuesday in announcing murder, attempted murder and other charges for the shooting that killed one person and wounded five. Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer referred to David Chou, 68, as a monster whose rampage was thwarted by the heroic actions of a doctor who charged at him, a pastor who hit Chou with a chair and several parishioners who tied him up until police arrived. “This monster crafted a diabolical plan to lock the church doors with his victims inside in order to lead what he thought were innocent lambs to slaughter,” Spitzer said. “But what he didn’t realize was the parishioners at the church that day weren’t lambs – they were lions and they fought back against the evil that tried to infiltrate … [Read more...] about DA: Church gunman wanted to ‘execute’ as many as possible
