An Indian Origin beauty is Miss Bollywood UK

Posted by Shane On August - 30 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

SepiaMissA British beauty of Indian origin will be whisked off for a Bollywood role after being crowned the first ever Miss Bollywood UK at a gala event in Birmingham.

Reena Patel, from London, beat off 14 rivals – whittled down from a long list of 900 – at the star-studded event Saturday night to win the title which comes with the offer of a Bollywood role and a year’s modelling contract.

The runner up was Simran Chadha from Manchester and the third place was taken by Stacey Fox of Essex in an ethnically diverse contest held at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham.

The judges included Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala, said Miss Bollywood UK CEO Zia Choudhury, a Leicester-based model and actor.

Patel, 23, now waits to be flown off to India to live the life of a Bollywood celebrity and will be automatically entered into the finals of Miss Universe Great Britain which will give her an opportunity to compete for the title of Miss Universe.

‘The appeal in Bollywood is the song and dance, the glamour, the people – it is after all the largest film industry in the world,’ Choudhury said.

‘Suddenly we’ve got this cross-over between Hollywood and Bollywood which adds to the authenticity of the Indian film industry. It’s an exciting time to be part of Bollywood.’

The contest was open to women from all ethnicities as organisers wanted it to be as diverse as possible.

Patel follows the success of Liza Lazarus, a Welsh beauty who scooped the Miss Universe UK title last year, and then found herself starring with Salman Khan in the period drama ‘Veer’.

Michael Jackson's serect love child Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson

Michael Jackson

Here we go again. Looks like people just can’t leave Michael Jackson alone. Should I post a video crying “Leave Michael Jackson alone!!” ?

So lets see what we have now, looks like now a 24-year-old man has claimed to be Michael Jackson’s love child. Strangely he has already got a Lawyer. And the lawyer says he is not claiming for the money. Doesn’t all this make it obvious that he is indeed after the money ??

That man’s name is already mentioned in the title, here it is once more “Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson”.

“Malachi has been told his entire life that he is Michael Jackson’s son. His primary goal is to have closure on whether or not Michael was his father, and he wants a DNA test to prove it. Malachi’s motivation isn’t money,” LaRue Grim said.

Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson, who goes by Malachi (helpful to keep him separate from the other Prince Michaels), turns 25 in September, and he is currently enrolled in “a special needs college at an undisclosed location.”

Looks like this will be going on for some years. I meant people claiming to be Michael’s son/daughter. Hey, come to think of it. Nobody has so far claimed to be Michael Daughter. Can someone do it soon ? the suspense is killing me!

Grim says Malachi’s mother, Zerline Lavette Dixon, had trouble with drugs so Malachi’s grandmother raised him. But, you know who his long-lost dad is.

“Malachi looks exactly like Michael Jackson,” Grim added. Ya, and so does all other MJ’s look-alikes.

“I’m seeking a DNA test and I’m very concerned that it be reliable and that no one slips in DNA from a stranger. Malachi never met Michael … from what I understand Michael Jackson was very private about his personal life.”

When asked about the alleged relationship between Zerline and Michael, Grim replied: “I don’t know about that now. I’m gathering that information.”

It is Grim’s understanding that back in the 1980s Zerline was a fashion designer and had a fashion line under the company name of Michael Jackson.

“Michael seemed to be a very smart businessman. I don’t think he would have let anybody run a company with his name on it without his approval.”

Go on, have your little bit of media attention. Hope you enjoy it.

Cisco Wireless LAN Not Safe!

Cisco Wireless LAN Exploit

Cisco Wireless LAN Exploit

It seems that researchers at AirMagnet, a company dedicated to detection and prevention of intrusion attacks has found out that the Cisco Wireless LAN, very popularly used around the world known for its security and reliability is just not what it claims to be. The researchers have discovered a vulnerability and an exploit that can be used against networks that have the Over-the-Air-Provisioning (OTAP) feature turned on.

“We found it in our labs,” Wade Williamson, director of product management at AirMagnet, said on Monday. “We don’t know about it being exploited in the wild.”

Basically, the Cisco access points generate an unencrypted multicast data frame that is sent over the air and includes unencrypted data like the MAC address and the IP address of the wireless controller, as well as some configuration options, he said. The controller is used to manage the access points.

With that information, someone listening to the network could easily find the internal addresses of the WLAN controllers in the network and potentially target them with a denial-of-service attack, Williamson said.

“Someone out in the parking lot or a neighbor can look at the packets and see information about the controller on the wired side,” he said. “This is giving anybody that’s listening to the environment some pretty detailed information about the wired network that we want to keep protected.”

The researchers have already informed Cisco Systems about the vulnerability and they are working on a fix for it.

Monkey Born from Two Mothers

Monkey Born from Two Mothers

Monkey Born from Two Mothers

The strangest of the strange has happened. This is what happens when you give a bunch of monkeys to Scientists. But yes, this is really advanced science. Looks like scientists have managed to produce monkeys with genetic material from two mothers. This would really help mothers having inheriting diseases give birth to a healthy child. Now that the good part is over, it will also led to a lot of legal problems, ethical and social concerns.

The monkeys were produced using cloning related techniques, where they found a way to replace the most of the genes in the eggs of one monkey with genes from another monkey. Then they began to fertilize the eggs with a sperm, transfered them back to the animal’s womb and produced healthy off-springs. This would’t have made the news if the off-springs were deformed, which the scientists somehow always manage to do.

“We believe this technique can be applied pretty quickly to humans and believe it will work,” said Shoukhrat Mitalipov of the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, who led the work, published online Wednesday by the journal Nature.

“This is of great importance. This approach will be beneficial to many families,” said Jan Smeitink, a professor of mitochondrial medicine at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands.

“With this you have potentially three genetic parents,” said David Magnus, director of Stanford University’s Center for Biomedical Ethics. “This will create the potential for legal and social conflicts.”

They say they have developed it for the benefit of women with DNA disorders who pass them to their off-springs also. But to me it just looks like they were playing with the genes and EUREKA! they managed to do something and made up a story.

Well, if it is indeed beneficial them its good. But they need to carry out more tests to confirm it. Cause this is just the output of one successful test. They are lots of chances for the off-springs to become deformed when they grow.
