    Why Are Solar Eclipses Rare?

    Solar eclipses happen only at the new moon phase when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun. However, even though new moons are regular, there isn’t a solar eclipse on every new moon. The moon’s orbit, slightly tilted with respect to the sun-earth line, is what determines the eclipse occurrence. At most times, the moon’s shadow is too high or too low above the earth, and thereby no eclipse occurs then.

  • Maldivian President Muizzu’s Ex-Minister Mariyam Shiuna Mocks India Once Again; Apologies After Backlash | world news

    Days after India allowed the export of certain essential commodities to Maldives at the request of the island nation, its former minister once again mocked New Delhi while targeting the opposition MDP. Mariyam Shiuna belongs to the People’s National Congress, the party of Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu. Shiuna grabbed the limelight when she joined fellow ministers in mocking India after Prime Minister Narendra Modi promoted Lakshadweep as a tourist destination. While Shiuna along with two fellow ministers was suspended from the Muizzu’s cabinet, her hate for India is yet to end as she mocked New Delhi once again. Her recent

    Latest Controversy: Insulting Indian Flag

    Mariyam Shiuna, the former Maldivian minister, in a recent post which has been deleted after backlash, mocked the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) and India by posting an altered picture of Ashok Chakra, a part of the Indian tricolour. When Indian as wells as Maldivian social media users reacted sharply to the photo, Shiuna deleted the post and issued a clarification.

    Mariyam Shiuna’s Clarification

    After deleting the post, Shiuna said that she was unaware of the photo’s resemblance to the Indian flag and she would be careful in future. “I would like to address a recent social media post of mine that has garnered attention and criticism. I extend my sincerest apologies for any confusion or offense caused by the content of my recent post. It was brought to my attention that the image used in my response to the Maldivian opposition party MDP bore a resemblance to the Indian flag. I want to make it clear that this was entirely unintentional, and I sincerely regret any misunderstanding it may have caused,” said Shiuna.

    I would like to address a recent social media post of mine that has garnered attention and criticism. I extend my sincerest apologies for any confusion or offense caused by the content of my recent post.

    The former minister also said that Maldives deeply values ​​its relationship and, the mutual respect it shares with India. “In future, I will be more vigilant in verifying the content I share to prevent such oversights,” she added.

    However, Shiuna’s Shiuna appears to have deliberately posted the photo to insult India and the MDP which favors friendly relations with New Delhi.

    Who Is Mariyam Shiuna?

    Mariyam Shuuna has served as a former minister in the Maldivian government. She worked as the Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Youth, Sports, Information, and Arts in the Maldives. Shuuna is also a spokesperson for the Male City Council. She sparked controversy when she made disrespectful remarks regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent trip to Lakshadweep. After facing heavy backlash, she later deleted her post. The Maldivian government distanced itself from Shuuna’s statement at that time.

    Maldives-India Relation

    Maldives’ relations with India have become strained under the current leadership of President Muizzu who holds a pro-China view. Muizzu came to power riding on the ‘India Out’ campaign and has taken several steps in the last six months that have an anti-India tinge. It includes the ousting of 80 Indian soldiers posted in Male and allowing an alleged Chinese spy vessel to explore the Indian Ocean region.

  • ‘Sreesanth was saved due to the void in the law’, a big revelation by former Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar…

    New Delhi. Former Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar said that those responsible have shown a clear lack of seriousness in bringing about a law against corruption in Indian sports, which is why individuals like tainted former fast bowler S Sreesanth have strong evidence of spot-fixing in the 2013 IPL. Despite this, he survived. Also read: How much gold is worth… With a historic jump, the price of ten grams of gold crossed Rs 210,000…

    Neeraj Kumar was in-charge of Delhi Police for 37 years, under his guidance the Special Cell of Delhi Police arrested Sreesanth and fellow Rajasthan Royals cricketers Ajit Chandila and Ankit Chavan on spot-fixing charges.

    Former Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar

    However, in 2019, the Supreme Court asked the BCCI to reconsider the lifetime ban on the former India player despite the evidence against him. The sentence was ultimately reduced to a seven-year suspension, which expired in September 2020.

    “The matter has gone nowhere… Unfortunately, there is no law (in India) to deal with corruption in cricket or corruption in sports in general,” Kumar said during a special interaction with reporters at the news agency’s headquarters in New Delhi. “

    The 70-year-old renowned former IPS officer said, “Even in a country like Zimbabwe, there is a specific law. It is there in Australia, New Zealand… there is a law in Europe because corruption is not only in cricket but also in football, tennis, golf.”

    Kumar said the biggest hurdle in prosecuting corruption in sports is the lack of law. “For example, many things we do do not stand the test of judicial scrutiny. He regretted that if we say that people were cheated during match fixing, now the court will ask, show me one person who has cheated, produce him.

    Explaining the gray areas, Kumar said, “Who will come to the court and say that I went to watch a cricket match with the expectation of fair play and everyone playing to the best of their ability? Therefore, in the absence of the victim, it becomes very difficult to prove the case.”

    In India, a law to curb xenophobia has been in the works since 2013. The Prevention of Sporting Fraud Bill (2013), which was introduced in the Lok Sabha in 2018, provided for five years’ imprisonment and a fine of Rs 10 lakh for those found guilty of sports fraud, including fixing.

    The bill was drafted by Justice (retd) Mukul Mudgal and was seen as a game-changer to curb match-fixing. It was to replace the ‘Public Gambling Act 1867′, under which any person engaged in betting could be fined only Rs 200, or face three months’ imprisonment.

    Sreesanth is back in the mainstream and also played Ranji Trophy for Kerala before retiring from first-class cricket. He is now seen in various Legends League and also gives expert opinions on various broadcasting platforms.

    Neeraj Kumar said that the court has appreciated the work done by the police. The judge said that the special cell has done excellent work. Have worked very hard to expose this racket, but in the absence or void of law, I am not in a position to stop, convict and punish any of them, these were his exact words.

    Kumar also feels that the case against former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin, who was embroiled in the 2000 scam, “was not allowed to be completed”. He said that if the Azharuddin case had been allowed to reach its logical conclusion, some very big names would have been exposed, but this too was not allowed.

    Need for anti-corruption law in sports

    Kumar believes that the government can earn goodwill by passing the anti-corruption bill pending in Parliament. He said, “If we have that law, the scenario will completely change, people will not go unpunished. “It’s a low hanging fruit… I don’t know why they’re not doing it.”

    BCCI indifferent towards corruption

    Kumar also got the opportunity to work as the head of BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) for about four years and he found the world’s richest board not to be honest in dealing with corruption. “…They were completely indifferent to the whole issue of corruption, and they did not give me the resources I needed,” he said.

    The satisfaction of curbing private leagues

    The BCCI provided only two people to assist Kumar and yet, he said, they managed to crack down on private leagues which were dens of corruption. “We successfully busted many cases… of private leagues where some people come together, and organize leagues only to indulge in fixing. “We were successful in stopping some of them.”

    Stopped watching IPL

    Sharing his experience, former IPS Neeraj Kumar said that this experience left him “quite disillusioned” with cricket in general. “I stopped watching IPL because I got very disappointed. “After working in BCCI, I am not as impressed with the game as I used to be.”

  • At Least Eight Killed In Russian Strikes On Ukraine’s Kharkiv | world news

    Kyiv: At least eight people were killed and 10 injured in Russian strikes on Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, on Saturday, Al Jazeera reported, citing regional officials.

    While regional officials said Russian forces used bombs and missiles, the national police of Ukraine claimed the attack was carried out by drones. Images of flames that had started on city streets and near to buildings were released by the police and local authorities. The governor of Kharkiv region, Oleh Syniehubov, said that six people were killed in overnight missile attacks on the city of Kharkiv. The death toll increased to eight later.

    Meanwhile, Mayor Igor Terekhov of Kharkiv verified that figure and said that ten more people had been injured. “The attack hit residential areas – at least nine high-rise buildings, three dormitories, a number of administrative buildings, a shop, a petrol station, a service station and cars were damaged,” Terekhov said, according to Al Jazeera.

    The Ukrainian military said on Facebook that, in retaliation, three of the six Russian missiles and 28 of the 32 drones were shot down by its air defenses. After the midnight strikes, air raid alerts were in place for Kharkiv and the majority of the nation, including Kyiv, the capital, for several hours, reported Al Jazeera.

    Kharkiv, the capital of the city of the same name, is located just 30 kilometers from the Russian border and has experienced frequent bombing ever since Moscow began its invasion in February 2022. Over the last few weeks, the attacks have been more intense. A drone strike on the city on Wednesday resulted in four fatalities and significant damage to apartment buildings.

  • Government is not taking care of BSNL, once it was number 1, now on the verge of drowning, employees forced to die of hunger

    Govind Patel, Kushinagar. There used to be long queues of customers to get SIM card of BSNL and those who got SIM card considered themselves lucky. That was the era when BSNL had its dominance in the world of telecom and at that time no one had ever imagined that the condition of these once buzzing BSNL towers and offices would become like this. BSNL is going through bad times these days. Never thought that bad days would come for this government telecom company. Today she is seen shedding tears over her helplessness. His employees kept retiring and no appointment was made in their place. Today their condition is such that the operators living on these towers are on the verge of starvation. Apart from this, they are forced to earn their living by working as laborers at other places.

    Today unemployment and helplessness are clearly visible on their faces. The Karmamaris who lived a good life for decades are now supporting their families by working as laborers in the fields and are forced to cry tears of blood, but till date no balm has been considered appropriate for their pain. Today their situation went from bad to worse. Who is responsible for their condition is a big question today. Today, on one hand, private telecom companies are providing 5G facilities, while the government telecom company BSNL is providing 3G services, the condition of the towers is such that sometimes they work and sometimes stop. Earlier diesel was available to run the generator installed on the tower, today that too has stopped being available. When there is electricity, the tower works, otherwise it would remain switched off and the network would disappear from the consumers’ mobile phones, due to which the trend of consumers increased towards private telecom companies and they considered it appropriate to take their services and once the trend started, it continued. In this too, this policy of the government was implemented by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India i.e. TRAI with the new rules related to mobile porting (16 December 2019), which made the work of private telecom companies easier and provided benefits.

    BSNL customers are getting seam port done in private companies

    BSNL customers ported their mobile numbers to private telecom operators. Surprisingly, when the world is moving towards 5G spectrum, BSNL does not have 4G spectrum. According to officials, when 4G spectrum was auctioned in 2016, BSNL was kept out. According to an official, BSNL management wrote dozens of letters to draw the government’s attention regarding this matter, but things did not change. According to the officer, “The files kept roaming in the office. “There could be many reasons why the file did not proceed further.” According to the employees, the reason for the poor condition of BSNL is that it was not given 4G spectrum. The government does not want BSNL to compete with private operators. The government wants to strangle him. According to experts, BSNL should now think directly about 5G, but according to the official, the path to 5G goes only through 4G so that the network and equipment of the system can be prepared for 5G.

    The condition of offices and mobile towers is bad

    Arbitrary attitude of officers and employees from office to tower and non-discharge of responsibilities towards work also appeared to be the reason for the sinking of BSNL. The same things that come to be installed on towers are left lying carelessly outside, rotting and rusting. JE does not install them on the towers on time. They get spoiled lying around. No action is taken against them, due to which their arbitrariness further increases. Here you can know the condition of the goods kept at the BSNL office located at the district headquarters Ravindra Nagar, if it is investigated then a big scam can come to light. There are about 120 BTS installed in the district. Some of them are on BSNL’s private land and most of them are on rented land. The operator guards living on the towers here are on the verge of starvation and are not getting any salary, due to which they are forced to live a life of mental stress.

    what do experts say

    On one hand, Reliance, Jio and Airtel and private telecom companies are providing 5G services in many states of the country. On the other hand, customers of public sector Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited are still not getting 4G service. This is the reason why the number of BSNL consumers is continuously decreasing. Due to better and high speed, now BSNL customers are also turning to other companies. According to experts, the Central Government did not give the license of 4G spectrum to BSNL on time. When the employees staged several protests for this, the license was given but a condition was imposed on it that the spectrum equipment i.e. technology would have to be purchased from India only. This condition was imposed by the Central Government linking it to security. Whereas there are no restrictions of any kind on private companies.

    If BSNL sinks, the arbitrariness of private companies will increase.

    This is why private companies have also launched 5G services by purchasing equipment from China or other countries. At the same time, BSNL’s 4G is still stuck. The central government has tied the hands of BSNL. They announce the package in Parliament, but put conditions on where the money will be spent. Officials want to work, but the policies are weak. He said that if BSNL sinks then the private company will charge arbitrary tariffs. Therefore it is important that the government company remains in the market.

  • Angelina Jolie Accuses Brad Pitt Of Physical Abuse In Winery Dispute | world news

    New Delhi: American Actress Angelina Jolie has alleged that Brad Pitt was abusive towards her before the 2016 plane incident, which ultimately contributed to the dissolution of their marriage. Jolie on Thursday filed a motion to the Los Angeles Superior Court in which she asserts that she tried to sell her stake in a couple’s French Winery, Miraval to Pitt, but negotiations faltered when Pitt insisted that she sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). which prohibited Joile from speaking (other than in court) about Pitt’s abuse of her and their children, according to the filing obtained by CNN.

    The recent development originates after Pitt filed a lawsuit in 2022, in which he asserted that he and Jolie had an agreement not to sell their shares in the winery without each other’s consent. Jolie in her filing claimed that Pitt’s record of physical abuse began long before the family’s flight trip from France to Los Angeles in September 2016.

    “At trial, Jolie will prove through testimony, emails, photographs, and other evidence why Pitt was so concerned about his misconduct that he blew up his own deal to purchase Jolie’s interest in Miraval because she refused to agree to his new, expansive NDA, ” read the filing.

    American Actress Jolie asserts that she initially consented to sign an NDA focused solely on refraining from disparaging Miraval’s wine business as part of the agreement to sell her share in the winery but later on, Pitt subsequently pushed for a more expansive NDA that would have prohibited Jolie from making any negative remarks about either party in public, except from the court.

    “Mr. Pitt refused to purchase Ms. Jolie’s interest when she would not be silenced by her NDA. By refusing to buy her interest but then suing her, Mr Pitt put directly at issue why that NDA was so important to him and what he hoped it would bury: his abuse of Ms Jolie and their family,” Jolie’s attorney, stated to CNN.

    In 2008, the ex-couple purchased the Miraval estate and winery in the south of France. The legal proceedings concerning the disagreement over the property are still ongoing.

    In 2016 Jolie filed the divorce proceedings against Pitt and later in 2019 they were granted their divorce and considered legally single.
