The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) will host what it is calling an emergency rally Sunday afternoon in downtown Calgary in response to the Friday meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice-President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.During the testy and heated exchange in front of cameras in the Oval Office, Trump told Zelenskyy to make a deal with Russia to end the war in Ukraine or “we’re out.”Trump and Vance also accused Zelenskyy of “gambling with World War III” and told him he must be more grateful for U.S. assistance in the fight against Russia’s three-y...

Mumbai docs successfully treat rare pediatric case of hereditary elliptocytosis

Mumbai doctors in Haji Ali successfully performed a complex surgical procedure to treat a rare case of Hereditary Elliptocytosis of a three-month-old patient.

Shabana Azmi agreed to do Dabba Cartel because of Shibani Akhtar

Those who have seen Dabba Cartel’s trailer will agree it’s a perfect addition to Shabana Azmi’s filmography that is built on powerful roles. The actor, however, good-naturedly jokes that she had no option but to say yes to the upcoming crime drama. “My daughter-in-law [Shibani Akhtar] has written it and my son [Farhan Akhtar] is producing it. Would I dare say no?” she laughs. Set in Mumbai, the Netflix series revolves around five homemakers, who run a drug ring. Azmi’s Sheelaben is their leader of sorts. She says, “Jokes apart, I could see that Sheelaben had layers, which are attractive for an actor to unravel. She is an ordinary person leading a nondescript life, but then circumstances make her come back to a life she had given up 30 years ago. She has tasted blood, and starts enjoying ...

Tips for shiny, healthy hair: How many times a week to wash it and the hair tools to know

A few summers ago, I tried to grow out my bob and failed miserably, because I didn’t just want length, I wanted hair that was an event, a mane, hair that swished. For that, you need not only length but heft, and heft relies heavily on health. I decided to embark on my growing endeavour for a second time with an eye on the health of my hair. Inch by inch, I turned my bob into shoulder-skimming, then modestly long hair. I kept going and currently it settles between the bottom of my shoulder blades. It’s taken a full three years, but I’m nearly there now at the holy grail: hair that’s long but also shiny, without frayed and damaged ends.After extensive research, and many failures, these are the tips and products which really, really work. They will help you achieve your healthiest hair, wheth...

How `weight stigma` affects people dealing with obesity

According to the World Health Organization, 2.5 billion adults aged 18 years and older were overweight in 2022, including over 890 million adults who were living with obesity. Obesity gives rise to several health complications, but some people living with the condition also face another challenge – the stigma that is associated with being overweight. Stemming from oversimplified notions of health and personal responsibility, weight stigma is fuelled by the assumption that obesity is merely a consequence of poor lifestyle choices. However, that is far from true. Dr Aparna Govil Bhasker, Consultant Bariatric and Laparoscopic Surgeon, MetaHeal Surgery Center, and Saifee, Apollo and Namaha Hospitals, Mumbai, explains, “Society often reduces obesity to a simplistic equation: eat less, move ...

Sara Pascoe’s secret London: breakfast at the Cafe Royal, and cocktails at Waterstones

North London with my two sons, husband and dog. We’ve been here for about five years and really adore it.Where do you stay in London? When my husband and I were dating we used to stay at the Café Royal at Piccadilly for the decadent breakfasts and incredible spa facilities. In fact, we loved it so much we became members so we could swim in the pool whenever we liked — pre-children, when our life was far more indulgent. When my mum realised how many mice I was cohabiting with, she did feel bad about making me move outWhere was your first flat?What was your first job here?I worked at the Millennium Dome, first in the ticketing department and later as a character actor. It’s probably the most I’ve enjoyed any of my jobs: it was social, well paid and with lots of brilliant, interesting pe...
