Manchester United 0 Arsenal 1

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League and ensured the title race will go to the final day with victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. The Gunners delivered an unconvincing display against a severely depleted United side but did enough to secure the win that puts them one point ahead of Manchester City having played a game more. Leandro Trossard struck after 20 minutes when lazy defending from struggling veteran Casemiro played Kai Havertz onside and his cross was turned in by the Belgian at the near post.

United showed plenty of endeavour but suffered from a glaring lack of quality and never seriously tested Arsenal keeper David Raya, as their own hopes of European football next season faded further. Arsenal must now hope north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur do them a favour by getting a result at home to Manchester City on Tuesday. The Gunners host Everton in their final game of the season next Sunday, while City are at home to West Ham. The elation of Arsenal’s fans at this vital win was not dampened by the storm that arrived in Manchester just before the final whistle as skies darkened and lightning flashed around the stadium. Arsenal know Manchester City’s fate still lies in the champions’ own hands and two wins against Spurs and West Ham will take a fourth successive title to Etihad Stadium.

Mikel Arteta’s side, however, have done all they can and two hazardous-looking fixtures – away to Spurs in the north London derby and here at United, where they have suffered before – have been safely negotiated. No matter that this was an Arsenal display lacking their usual fluency – at this stage of the season the only currency that counts is wins and the visitors did the job. Once again Trossard made the difference with a trademark swoop at the near post ahead of Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka for the decisive moment. Arsenal will now hope Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou is as good as his word and they can somehow raise themselves to upset City.

The Gunners still have a chance of their first title in 20 years going into the final game of the season – and they would have happily settled for that in August.

RIP Roger Corman

Roger Corman, the fabled “King of the B’s” producer and director, giant of independent film making, who churned out low-budget genre films with breakneck speed and provided career boosts to young, untested talents like Jack Nicholson, Ron Howard, Peter Bogdanovich, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Jonathan Demme, Gale Anne Hurd and James Cameron, has died. He was 98. The filmmaker, who received an honorary Oscar in 2009 at the Governors Awards, died Thursday at his home in Santa Monica, his family told The Hollywood Reporter. He also helped to launch the careers of actors like Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Bruce Dern, Diane Ladd and William Shatner. Corman occasionally acted in films by directors who started with him, including The Godfather Part II (1974), The Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia (1993), Apollo 13 (1995) and The Manchurian Candidate (2004).

A documentary about Corman’s life and career titled Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel, directed by Alex Stapleton, premiered at the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals in 2011. Corman  perhaps is best known for such horror fare as The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) and his series of Edgar Allan Poe adaptations starring Vincent Price, like The Raven. Roger William Corman was born in Detroit on April 5, 1926, but his family — including his late younger brother Gene Corman, who went on to become an agent and produce several movies with him — moved to Beverly Hills when he was 14. He served in the U.S. Navy for nearly three years but found when he was discharged that he had lost his taste for engineering. He took a job at 20th Century Fox as a messenger and worked his way up to story analyst. Frustrated with that position, he quit and set off for England. He attended Oxford, doing graduate work in English literature.

He delighted in making genre films, beginning with Westerns: Five Guns West (1955) was his first directing credit, and he followed with Apache Woman (1955) and The Oklahoma Woman (1956). He switched to science fiction and horror, blasting out such gobbled fare as Day The World Ended (1956), It Conquered the World (1956), The Undead (1957), Night of the Blood Beast (1958) and She Gods of Shark Reef (1958). Amid the bloodletting, hokey costumes and bizarre plots were bursts of cheeky humor and campy signs of intelligent life, reflecting Corman’s breezy, comic sensibility. His other work included such schlockers as Creature From the Haunted Sea (1960), Battle of Blood Island (1960) and Last Woman on Earth (1960).

1978 as a producer saw his cult film Piranha followed by 3 awesome scifi cult films in the early 80s. Battle Beyond The Stars was 1980’s   futuristic “Magnificent Seven (itself a western version of Seven Samurai) in outer space” that had  special effects designed by a young James Cameron. The same year saw Galaxy Of Terror, with Cameron serving as Production Designer and Second Unit Director on the film. 1982 saw Forbidden World which was an Alien ripoff but has it’s own charm. He went on to produced films till 2017. Corman was married to Julie Halloran from 1970 until his death. They had four children.

Once Again Hospitalized And Back!

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

Well it happened again. The gap of a few days between blog posts usually will mean that I was ill and hospitalized. The reason is severe cramps for which it seems I have no possible cure that I can look forward to. An infection can trigger it. And apparently I had a massive infection just like last year in October. It has been very dusty at the office and for a few days I have been sneezing quite a lot, culminating on this past Tuesday.

Tuesday night or I should say that it was in the early hours of Wednesday morning, I came home and as I was getting out of the cab, I felt a slight pain and cramp on my left foot. It slowly build up as I got up to my apartment to find my sister, brother in law there with my dad & mom. I told them about it so I took a painkiller and then tried to go to sleep. My sister stayed back just in case and within an hour the pain started shooting up again on both legs and we had to call an ambulance. With much pain I managed to get in and they took me to the hospital.

I had painkillers given to me as well as a drip but I had to stand for almost 4 hours until the pain eased and I could walk to a ward. There were no rooms available so I lay on the bed after sitting up for a while, with my sister as my bystander. After 2 days they had a shared room available so I moved in there. I had a couple of blood tests done, an ultrasound, then a urine test followed by another quick scan. I’ve been given heavy doses of antibiotics and other medicines. Yesterday by mid-morning they said that I could be discharged and by evening I came back home. Now to rest for 3 days before I start work again.

The 2024 Stanley Cup Semifinals Lineups

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

SO I am a few days late but since I was hospitalized, I wasn’t able to update my blog at all. I watched most of the series games via the highlights on the NHL official channel. I was 50% disappointed and 50% happy as I wanted all 4 Canadian teams in the payoffs to proceed to the second round. Only 2 did and they face each other, so only 1 Canadian team will make it to the Conference finals. So let’s look at the teams that did not go through first.

In the Eastern Conference, Toronto battled valiantly and almost made it through but they lost 4-3 to the Boston Bruins. This was the chance for the Maple Leafs but they could not finish it. In something of an upset, the Florida Panthers defeated their more successful Florida rival, Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-1. Has the tie shifted in terms of power down south? New York Rangers, who seem to be everyone’s favourites having won the League in terms of points, blitzed past Washington Capitols in what was a clear indication of their motives. And finally the Hurricanes of Carolina beat the New York Islanders 4-1.

Out in the Western Conference, 3 Canadian teams were competing and 2 went through. The one that didn’t is my second team – the neutral favourite Winnipeg Jets, who were beaten by Cale Makar’s Colorado Avalanche. But the Edmonton Oilers beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-1 and did it in style. The top team in the West, the Vancouver Canucks also beat out the Nashville Predators 4-2 to become the second Canadian team in round 2 while the Dallas Stars beat out defending champions Las Vegas Golden Knights 4-3.

In the second round the Canucks face the Oilers and the Stars face the Avalanche while Florida will look to beat out the Bruins of Boston as the Ne York Rangers face off against Carolina.

Sporting Lisbon Win The Portuguese League With 2 Games To Go

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

Sporting Lisbon clinched the Primeira Liga title on Sunday after Benfica lost 2-0 against lowly Famalicao, a result that left Ruben Amorim’s side with an unassailable eight-point lead in the standings with two games left. Thousands of elated Sporting fans gathered in the capital Lisbon until the early hours of Monday to celebrate their club being crowned Portuguese league champions for the twentieth time in their history.

Soon after Benfica’s defeat, cars started to beep their horns in celebration and thousands of fans headed to Lisbon’s main square, Marques do Pombal, where players arrived on an open-top bus at around 1.40 a.m. local time. One by one, players went up a big stage set up at the square as upbeat songs were blasted from the speakers and fans waved flags and scarves. Sporting reclaimed the title three years after their last win in 2021, when they ended a nearly two decade-drought. The celebrations in 2021 took place during the COVID-19 pandemic and were marred by clashes between the police and fans. The 2021 victory also completed a huge turnaround in fortunes for the club after the squad was attacked by angry fans at the team’s training ground in May 2018.

It was Amorim’s second league title and Sporting can extend their celebrations with a domestic double if they win the Portuguese Cup final against Porto later this month. Swedish forward Viktor Gyokeres’ goals have powered Sporting’s title success and he netted his 27th of the campaign on Saturday to wrap up their victory. Sporting will face Porto in the Portuguese Cup final on May 26th, aiming to secure a double. The striker signed from Coventry City last summer for a club-record fee of €20 million plus add-ons.

If You Had To Watch One Movie For The Rest Of Your Life, what would it be? Why?

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

If you had to watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? Why?

That is a tough one. I have quite a few movies that I love and maybe like a handful which I think are my favourites, but choosing just one film only for the rest of my life? That is a extremely difficult to do so. One more only? No movie lover could ever do that.

The fact is I love Science Fiction, horror, comedy, romance, romantic comedy, adventure, crime, mystery etc. There’s a few movies that seem to blend some of these genres but for the whole, I need to have a healthy mix in my collection and rewatch most of the really good ones and ones that I like.

Star Trek II : Wrath of Khan, Star Trek : First Contact come to mind. You’ve Got Mail, School Of Rock, My Cousin Vinny, Wayne’s World all are among my favourites. Shawshank Redemption, The Departed, The Wrestler, the Fifth Element, Jurassic Park, Ice Age, Aladdin all make me happy and I watch them a lot. But to pick just one ?

Arsenal 3 Bournemouth 0

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

Arsenal cruised past Bournemouth to go four points clear at the top of the Premier League before Saturday’s later games. The Gunners dominated the opening 45 minutes and took the lead just before half-time from the penalty spot. Kai Havertz was brought down by Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers and Bukayo Saka coolly rolled the ball into the net from the resulting spot-kick. Arsenal doubled their lead in the 70th minute when Declan Rice won the ball on the edge of the box and teed up Leandro Trossard, who curled the ball home from inside the area, before Rice scored in added time to boost the Gunners’ goal difference.

Bournemouth threatened a lot more in the second period and Dominic Solanke forced David Raya into a save in the second half before Justin Kluivert flashed a shot wide. The Cherries thought they had pulled a goal back through Antoine Semenyo but his strike was ruled out for a foul on David Raya by Solanke in the build up. Arsenal centre-back Gabriel also had a goal ruled out late on for offside after he smashed a volley into the top corner. The victory means Arsenal are clear at the top but their four-point lead may only last a few hours as title rivals Manchester City play later this afternoon.

During the match, Arsenal and their fans paid tribute to 14-year-old supporter Daniel Anjorin, who was killed in a sword attack on Tuesday. The Gunners started the game extremely quickly and had Bournemouth under pressure for the majority of the first half. Mikel Arteta’s side had 11 shots in the opening 20 minutes of the match – the joint-most by a Premier League side this season – but for a while it looked as though it might not be their day. William Saliba had a shot well saved by Travers after he exchanged passes with Saka, before the England winger himself had an effort saved by the Bournemouth keeper. Rice had a good chance to open the scoring in the first half but he shot just wide from a Havertz knock down.

Trossard, Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard and Takehiro Tomiyasu all had further opportunities before Saka finally made the breakthrough from the spot. The tension eased when Trossard finished well to double the lead, and Rice’s strike in added time added further gloss to the scoreline. The victory is Arsenal’s fourth win on the bounce as they keep the pressure on Manchester City and hope the champions drop points in the title race.?

8 Fun Facts About The Stanley Cup Trophy

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

1. The Stanley Cup is named after Frederick Arthur, Lord Stanley of Preston.

Frederick Arthur, Lord Stanley of Preston, was the Governor-General of Canada when he purchased the decorative cup in London for 10 guineas in 1892. Stanley donated the cup to award Canada’s top amateur hockey club after he and his family became infatuated with the sport at Montreal’s 1889 Winter Carnival; it was first awarded to the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association (or MAAA) in 1893.

2. There are actually three Stanley Cups.

Stanley’s original cup from 1892, known as the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup (above), was awarded until 1970, and is now on display in the Vault Room at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. In 1963, NHL president Clarence Campbell believed that the original cup had become too brittle to give to championship teams, so the Presentation Cup was created and is the well-known trophy awarded today. (Skeptics can authenticate the Presentation Cup by noting the Hockey Hall of Fame seal on the bottom.)

The final cup is a replica of the Presentation Cup, which was created in 1993 by Montreal silversmith Louise St. Jacques and is used as a stand-in at the Hall of Fame when the Presentation Cup isn’t available.

3. It’s one of a kind …

Unlike other major league sports trophies, a new cup isn’t made every year. Instead, after each championship, the names of the players, coaches, management, and staff of the winning team are added to the cup. The first team to have its roster engraved was the 1906-07 Montreal Wanderers, whose names were etched within the inner bowl of the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup. The only other team names engraved on the inner bowl are the 1914-’15 Vancouver Millionaires.

4. … And it’s always changing.

More and more teams wanted to be immortalized, so the decision was made to put a separate single ring below the original cup that each new winning roster could be etched on it. Between 1927 and 1947, a new, more streamlined and vertical incarnation of the cup was used. Thanks to its cylindrical shape, it was nicknamed the Stovepipe Cup—but by 1948, the trophy had become too tall to hold or put on display, so the shape was changed to the tiered version used today.

5. The Stanley Cup’s rings are detachable.

Since 1958, five bands of championship names are engraved around the base of the cup. When the rings become full, the oldest band is removed and preserved in Lord Stanley’s Vault at the Great Esso Hall in the Hockey Hall of Fame. A blank replacement band is then put in its place to be filled with the names of the next champions. If all of the rings in the archive were added to the current Stanley Cup, it would be 6.25 feet tall (which is still not as tall as Zdeno Chara).

6. The NHL has official engravers put each name on the cup.

There have been only four official engravers sanctioned by the NHL. The first was the 1948 Stanley Cup designer Carl Poul Petersen, a Danish engraver who moved to Montreal in 1929 and worked with his sons Arno, Ole, and John Paule in his engraving shop until his death in 1977. The current engraver is Louise St. Jacques (creator of the replica of the Presentation Cup), who took over from the second and third official engravers, Doug Boffey and his father Eric, at their shop Boffey Silversmiths in Montreal in 1989.

7. But they’re not always perfect.

Many champion player and team names are misspelled on the Stanley Cup. The name of the 1980-’81 New York Islanders is misspelled as “Ilanders,” and the 1971-’72 Boston Bruins’ name is misspelled as “Bqstqn Bruins.” Most of the errors are left as they are—it would be too costly to fix the mistakes. But fans believe the errors add to the idiosyncratic nature of the cup.

8. There can be extenuating circumstances.

When the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup in 1998, the team asked that Vladimir Konstantinov’s name be engraved on the cup, even though he didn’t play that year. The NHL allowed it because Konstantinov was a team member who was seriously injured in a car accident before the Wings defended their title. There are also a couple of instances where no names were inscribed at all, like when the cup wasn’t awarded in 1919 due to the influenza pandemic. It also wasn’t awarded for the 2004-’05 season because of a lockout between the league and the players union. The entire space for the players’ names reads “SEASON NOT PLAYED.”

Why Are Cocktails Called “Cocktails”?

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

A cocktail is any beverage, appetizer, or hors d’oeuvres that’s made with two or more ingredients. Liquid cocktails usually have at least one kind of alcohol in them and food cocktails are typically finger food that’s served cold. The word cocktail comes from the Creole apothecary Antoine Peychaud and the drinks he used to serve in New Orleans. Around the mid-1800s, Peychaud used to serve mixed brandy drinks in a French eggcup.

The French version of the word eggcup is coquetier, which Peychaud’s customers shortened to “cocktay.” Over time, this word was Americanized even further until it became “cocktail” and this version has stuck ever since. Based on this, the word cocktail refers both to the drink itself and the glass it’s served in.

Cocktails typically have a base liquor, like vodka or gin, and come with other flavored ingredients like fruit juice. Some drinks are simple and only involve two liquid ingredients. Other cocktails are more complex, involving a base liquor, several fruit juices, spices, and a garnish. Still, other drinks have ingredients like dairy, such as eggnog or a Chocolatini.

Tips To Become A Full Time Blogger

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

#1. Don’t quit your 9-5 job now

If you currently have a job or business and you’re thinking of quitting to blog full time, I want to recommend you hold on until you’ve saved enough money to keep you going for the next 12 months and more. Creating and publishing blog posts won’t pay your bills. If it was that easy, everyone would be blogging full time. One difficult area of blogging is monetizing your effort. The money is what we need to cater for our responsibilities. But full time bloggers don’t blog for money. YES!  Don’t blog to make money. Blog to provide solutions to your readers. Once they get satisfaction, they will pay for your services.

#2. Invest in yourself

To succeed as a full time blogger, you must invest in yourself as the blogger. There is a difference between the blog and the blogger. You can put in a few bucks and get a powerful blog in the next few hours. But the success of the blog will highly depend on the blogger behind the blog. That’s why you must give yourself the necessary skills to carry your blog to the next level. As a well trained blogger, you’ll find out that a huge portion of your income won’t be directly linked to your blog. For instance, if you are hired to train or speak at an event, you won’t be paid as the owner of some powerful blog. You will be paid because you are found qualified to deliver.

My advice is that you get some reasonable amount of knowledge in:

  1. Content creation

  2. Content promotion

  3. Social media

  4. Search engine optimization

  5. List building

  6. Graphics and image processing

  7. Product creation

  8. Etc.

There are lots of free resources online to learn these things. If you can sign up to paid platforms or be coached by some professionals, that would be a better option.

#3. Choose an evergreen blogging topic

Your main blog should be based on a topic that’s not limited to season or events. Now, as a full time SEO blogger, I can create event-based blogs as well. But, the topic of my main blog is evergreen. Don’t build your blogging career on shallow topics. If you are a Christmas blogger for instance, you will only be relevant during that season. There is a long list of inexhaustible evergreen blogging topics out there. It doesn’t have to be difficult to come up with one. You just have to pick the right topic based on passion and/or knowledge.

5 Delicious & Flaky Facts About The Croissants

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

1. Croissants evolved from the Kipferl

According to culinary experts, the prototype of the modern-day croissant is the “kipferl.” It first appeared in Austria in the 13th century. Kipferl are small, curved, sweet pastries usually made out of yeast dough. They taste more like bread rolls, but due to the lack of lamination, they don’t possess the characteristic flaky texture of croissants.

2. Croissant’s origin is a great food legend

The history of croissants is truly the stuff of legend.  One often-told story claims that a Viennese baker created the croissant after the city defeated the Ottoman army at the Battle of Vienna in 1683. In celebration of the victory, the baker created a special pastry in the shape of a crescent moon, a symbol of Islam and the Ottoman flag. Thus, every bite of the pastry would be a symbolic expression of the Ottoman’s crushing defeat.

3. Marie Antoinette did not introduce croissants to France

Popular legend claims Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) introduced the kipferl, and thus the croissant, to France. Reports claim she was homesick for the taste of her native Vienna after her marriage to King Louis XVI of France. So she introduced the kipferl to Versailles when she asked the court bakers to make her the sweet pastry. Food historians dispute this fact as they believe croissants only became popular in France during the 19th century.

4. An Austrian entrepreneur popularized croissants in France

Historical evidence points to Austrian entrepreneur August Zang as the one responsible for introducing and popularizing the kipferl, the prototype of the modern-day croissant, to France. He opened the first Vietnamese bakery in Paris in 1838. The upscale boulangerie specialized in bread and pastries from his native Vienna, especially the kipferl. The kipferl quickly became popular, and many inspired French imitators. As they became more common, the French began referring to them as croissants because of their crescent shape.

5. The French croissant recipe only requires eight ingredients

Eight ingredients go into making a classic French butter croissant (croissant au beurre).

They include: butter, flour, water, milk, yeast, sugar, salt & eggs

Some Ways To Beat The Heat & Humidity

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

This summer has been extremely hot & humid. Just stepping out for a few minutes has been torture and even sitting inside during the day or evening is sweaty. One must hydrate oneself to survive the heat and humidity. We have to drinks lots of water throughout the day. Carry a portable water bottle wherever you go — preferably not a single-use, plastic one. Keeping a water bottle with you at all times will ensure that you don’t get caught in a situation with no access to drinking water. Doing so will also help you keep track of your daily water consumption. A reusable water bottle is always a sustainable option.

Plain water, which is then fortified with sliced fruits and vegetables, herbs, makes for a refreshing beverage. Choose seasonal produce to keep bringing variation to your detox water recipes. Citrus fruits, berries and herbs such as ginger will make your beverages delicious. Opt for fresh fruit juices, smoothies and soups. Having water is not the only way you can hydrate yourself! If you don’t like sipping on plain water, there are a ton of options out there for you. Choose fresh fruit and vegetable juices, tender coconut water, smoothies and hearty soups to keep yourself full and hydrated.

Take Cool Showers and Baths. A cool shower or bath is a fantastic way to lower your body temperature instantly and feel refreshed. You can also use a damp towel or cloth to cool off your neck, face, and arms. The answer to “how to be hydrated in summer” goes beyond just drinking water. By incorporating these simple tips and delicious options into your routine, you can effectively beat the heat and ensure your body functions optimally throughout the scorching Indian summer.
