How To Post Naked Pictures On Instagram & Get Away With It: A Guide By Kim Kardashian

Celebrities

Jan 192018

Kim Kardashian doesn’t need any introductions. She’s 37 and a mother of three kids, but she still manages to look hotter than all of us combined.

Everyone says she ‘doesn’t have any talent’ and is ‘famous for just being famous’ but she sure knows how to work around the whole nudity policy on Instagram, and in my eyes that is just pure talent.

Case in point – the latest picture she’s posted on her Instagram account.

Just a simple caption, because the picture speaks for itself. Also, please notice the creative way of dodging the nudity guidelines.

New Teaser Of 'Padmaavat' Is Proof Khilji Is Going To Be Ranveer Singh's Best Performance Ever

Celebrities

Jan 192018

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmaavat’ has been floating in a pool of controversies since the day it was revealed that he is making a period drama on the life of Rani Padmaavati.

After facing intense backlash, innumerable delays in the release date and a ban from several states; ‘Padmaavat’ is finally inching closer to see the light of the day on January 25, when it will hit the theatres.

Padmaavat Viacom 18 Motion Pictures

Despite the growing tension (as we stand a week away from the movie’s release), the makers have posted this amazing teaser cum dialogue promo from the movie, which has honestly taken our excitement to a pinnacle and made the wait for the movie harder than ever.

Padmaavat Viacom 18 motion Pictures

Ever since his first look was released, people have been raving about Ranveer Singh’s Sultan ‘Alauddin Khilji’ look. With kohl-lined eyes, long tresses, a scar on his face and a cold deadly stare; Ranveer Singh not only owns the character; but declared it loud and clear that this movie is going to be his best performance ever. And the latest dialogue promo only cements the same.

Padmaavat Viacom 18 Motion Pictures

The promo begins with a monologue where Ranveer boasts about the Khilji Dynasty’s dream to rule the world someday. And while we started falling in love with this mad king, Rajput king Maharawal Ratan Singh aka Shahid Kapoor comes in the frame and gives one of his best dialogue deliveries we have seen so far, “Keh dijiye apne sultan se, unki talwaar se zyada loha hum suryavanshiyon ke seene mein hai (Tell your Sultan, there is more power in the hearts of Suryavanshis than in the swords of the Khiljis).”

Although this is a 30-second short promo, it is nothing but pure awesomeness and the credit entirely goes to Ranveer and his portrayal of Khilji.

Akshay Kumar has postponed the release date of his much-awaited film Padman to avoid a box office clash with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s controversial film Padmaavat

akshay sonam

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has postponed the release date of his much-awaited film “Padman” to avoid a box office clash with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s controversial film “Padmaavat”. “Padman” directed by R Balki was supposed to release on January 25, but now it will arrive in theatres on February 9. “Padmaavat” makers announced the release date of the film earlier this month after they received the clearance from the censor board.

The film had to miss its scheduled release of December 1, as it got mired in controversy after various Rajput groups, including Rajput Karni Sena, objected to the content of the film and the portrayal of queen Padmavati. ‘Padman’ release postponed to February 9. ‘Padmaavat’ will be a solo release on January 25, trade analyst Komal Nahata said in a tweet. “Padman” is based on the life of Tamil Nadu based social activist Arunachalam Muruganantham, who created affordable sanitary napkins in rural India. “Padman” will now have a box office clash with Neeraj Pandey’s “Aiyaary”.

A special screening of Pad Man was held at the Oxford Union today. Producer Twinkle Khanna addressed the students of the English university. She’s keen the world know about entrepreneur Arunachalam Muruganantham, the inventor of a low-cost sanitary pad-making machine, on whom the film is based.

She also delved into issues relating to menstrual hygiene, tackling taboos and breaking down the stigma attached to menstruation as a means to empower girls and women worldwide. Pad Man is also the first Indian film to be showcased at The Oxford Union.

Nana Patekar's advice to Rajinikanth: You can't mix acting and politics

Celebrities

Jan 192018

Nana Patekar plays wise counsel to ‘simpleton’ friend Rajinikanth before he plunges into dog-eat-dog Tamil Nadu politics

Rajini and Nana

It was on the last day of 2017 that superstar, and veteran actor of South Indian cinema, Rajinikanth put speculation to rest by announcing his entry into politics. But his close friend from Maharashtra, senior actor Nana Patekar isn’t convinced of his decision. “There are a lot of things that politicians can’t do. They don’t have the right to question anybody. Gaali dene ka haq gawaan dete hain [when they enter politics],” he jokes at the onset of an interview with mid-day.

Rajini and Nana

While Patekar is happy that a simple and clean man like Rajini has taken a bold decision, the actor’s stardom may be at risk, Patekar feels. “He needs to think about his decision seriously. I told him, ‘The people who love and worship you today, may question you once you join politics, because you are giving them that right.’ If political promises aren’t fulfilled, the resulting agitation can affect his films as well.”

Patekar, who has dived into social work and activism, and is discussed for his work among Maharashtra’s drought-ridden districts through his through NGO Naam Foundation, a collaboration with Makarand Anaspure, is clear he won’t follow in his friend’s footsteps. It’s not for the honest, he says, suggesting that Rajini’s plainspeak could come in his own way. Expressing concern for his friend, who he recently collaborated with for Tamil gangster film, Kaala, Patekar says, “I told him that he is not politician [material]. Merely staying good and honest is not enough. He is too simple; that’s why I fear [for him]. Politicians need to be manipulative, which we [Raniji and Patekar] are not capable of being.”

Patekar’s decision to distance himself from the field, he says, stems from the fear that his image as an actor might muddle matters. “Artistes should not form political parties or enter politics because the masses love them for the work they do on screen. If I join politics, and the people in my party err, I will be blamed for it. It isn’t possible that everyone on the team be righteous. If an actor wants to join politics, s/he should stop acting. You can’t mix the two.”

Meanwhile, Patekar is looking forward to the release of his upcoming Marathi film with producer-actor Ajay Devgn. Heaping praise on the director of Aapla Manus, which looks at a complex father-son relationship, Patekar says, “Satish [Rajwade] was fully prepared. I never had to tell him what camera angle would be ideal for a shot because he was so good.” Patekar plays an investigating officer who alters the life of his son and daughter-in-law (played by Sumeet Raghavan and Iravati Harshe) in the film.

“I am doing a role of this kind after long. It lacks melodrama. He is quiet and subdued, and his persona unravels with small events. The film will compel you to think. In our hectic lives, we forget simple things, like giving a hug to our parents. Relationships are ignored. That’s when we end up questioning, who it is that we are living and earning for?”

Ranbir Kapoor and Mahira Khan no 'good' friends any longer?

Celebrities

Jan 192018

There have had been rumours about Ranbir Kapoor and Pakistani actress Mahira Khan being a ‘thing’ together. Latest, we hear is that they have parted ways and are no longer together

Ranbir and Mahira
Ranbir Kapoor and Mahira Khan’s pictures that went viral in October last year.

There have had been rumours about Ranbir Kapoor and Pakistani actress Mahira Khan being a ‘thing’ together. Latest, we hear is that they have parted ways and are no longer together. What added fuel to the fire were their ‘leaked’ pictures of smoking together from New York which went viral and sparked something more than just friendship. However, a latest report in DNA says that Ranbir and Mahira’s relationship has fizzled out. Apparently, they decided to call off their alleged relationship just before New Year but will remain cordial considering the kind of person they are.

A source told the daily, “Their friendship has fizzled out. Ranbir and Mahira will always remain cordial but that’s because of the kind of people they are.” What could have triggered this move according to the publication is their pictures going viral in October 2017, in which, according to the moral police of social media, the ‘Raees’ actress was dressed ‘inappropriately’.

It all began when a noted from Hindi cinema introduced Khan to the ‘Rockstar’ actor, they hit it off immediately. Later, they kept collecting air miles to meet each other at foreign locations of New York, Dubai, and London. They even attended an award function together in Dubai and a video of theirs fighting like ‘lovers’ had also surfaced the Internet.

In one of the recent interviews of Mahira Khan, she was asked if she was in love. To which, she said, “No, actually.” She then added, “No, I have been, I was. Now, I realise that love is peace. Love is when you are with somebody and it’s okay and you don’t have to talk. Their presence is important.” Was she indicating towards hers and Ranbir’s fizzled relationship?

On the other hand, the grapevine is abuzz with Ranbir Kapoor’s growing proximity with young actress Alia Bhatt. The latter is often spotted at the former’s residence. Alia has openly confessed her feelings for Ranbir as a fan and is glad to know him more through their film ‘Brahmastra’ by Ranbir’s close friend Ayan Mukerji. They brought in the New Years in Israel together, where they had gone for their film’s recee. Speaking fondly of Alia, Ranbir has said that the ‘Highway’ actress is the brightest actress of Gen Now.

Ranveer Singh is on a non-stop shooting spree.

Ranveer Singh, who is known for his incredible energy on and off screen, will be putting it to test, literally, on January 25. The ‘Padmaavat’ actor will go without any sleep as he will shoot for Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Gully Boy’ and a brand campaign without a break.

Says a source to DNA, “Ranveer will first face the camera for 12 hours for Zoya’s film and the rest 12 hours for a brand commercial. That’s not all, the previous day, too, he will have a 14-hour long work day. That means he will hardly get any rest during those two days.”

The source adds that since Zoya is filming ‘Gully Boy’ in real locations like Dharavi, it’s a demanding task for the actor. “After he finishes that, he will directly head for the commercial. It’s a massive campaign and he needs to wrap it soon as the company wants to launch it at the earliest. When it comes to his work, you never see Ranveer exhausted, but this will be a new feat for him. It might be a hectic schedule, but knowing his energy levels it won’t be difficult for him to pull it off,” adds the source.

Carey Mulligan

Actor Carey Mulligan has expressed her unhappiness over lack of leading roles for female actors in the film industry, saying she is no longer interested in playing the girlfriend and wife parts. The 32-year-old actor said showbiz has always offered meatier and more important roles to their male counterparts, Contactmusic reported.

“I think for the most of female actors I know it’s just about going where the better writing is. Films have tended to provide a lot for men in terms of great leading roles and not so much for women…”I think essentially following great writing, trying to play real people and not play the girlfriend, the wife. I’ve done that a lot and it’s not fun and this is the opportunity to play a fully rounded, flawed, interesting person,” Mulligan said.

The “Drive” actor cited HBO’s “Big Little Lies” as an example of pro-women good writing. “I think it’s been led by the writing and the opportunities particularly for women. That’s certainly the case for me, I just want to play the most interesting, complicated real person and interesting complicated real people in film are really, really rare,” she said.

Online Store Maintenance Specialists – Newark, NJ, USA

News

Jan 192018

You seem to have an online store and have big plans. You got a snazzy online store, you have started promoting it and business is coming in. Times are good. Congratulations!

By the way, who is maintaining your website? Anyone?

Ecommerce – Online Store Maintenance Specialists – Newark, NJ, USA

After hosting an online store, it is important to maintain it. Updating different segments on the store is an effective way of making your site look new to shoppers. Sites that are poorly maintained look outdated and untidy to customers, and therefore reduce their selling potential. Online store maintenance has to be part of your ecommerce strategy yet many merchants ignore it – quote often to the detriment of their business.

Benefits of Online Store Maintenance:

Online Store Maintenance Specialists – Newark, NJ, USA

Site Security:

Regular updates of themes and plugins fight security attacks from hackers, scammers, viruses and many other nefarious entities. When you do routine maintenance of your store, you will be aware of possible threats and dangers, and take preventative measures beforehand.

A single breach can cause theft of confidential customer data, that in turn creates legal issues and also customers lose confidence in the business.

SEO maintenance:

Store maintenance should also include periodic SEO revitalization. Maintaining SEO through regular updates is necessary to maintain your ranking in search engines. Through regular maintenance, research new keywords and add them to your search term lists to improve internet accessibility. And don’t forget to adjust your SEO for voice based searches.

Online Store Maintenance – Ecommerce Specialists – Newark, NJ, USA

Regular maintenance should also include your social media sites, their integration with the website and making sure current content is posted regularly on the social properties of the company.

Increased Site Functionalities and User Friendliness:

Online shoppers are taking a risk when they go shopping and if for any reason they don’t feel secure, or they don’t see the information that they need or the shopping cart is too complicated, they abandon the site and go elsewhere. Abandoned shopping carts is a big issue for online merchants and one way of minimizing abandoned carts is to constantly monitor your online store and ensure that everything is working.

Some small business owners wonder why they need to maintain their store when it was working just fine 6 months ago. The reason is that the underlying software changes, the plugins change, the operating system changes and there are new security threats. If you don’t update regularly, soon you will have some sections of the webstore that no longer function. You may not know and be losing sales.

Upload Products to Marketplaces like Walmart, Amazon, Ebay, Google Shopping etc:

The more people see your products, the better your chances of making a sale. That is why savvy merchants list their products on marketplaces like Walmart, Amazon, Ebay, Google Shopping etc. However; unless you just have a handful of products, it becomes very difficult to manage and synchronize inventory across all these marketplaces. If you don’t, you may end up cancelling orders and that lowers your ratings. A good ecommerce specialist will help you use services like UploadMyProducts.com to upload inventory in bulk and synchronize across multiple marketplaces.

Room To Add New Opportunities:

You should have an ongoing relationship with a webmaster so you can add new functions and features as new opportunities arise. When you have an ongoing relationship, the web master has a vested interest in the company’s success and will be more than eager to explore new opportunities.

Who can help you with online Store Maintenance?

We can. At interloperInc.com, we specialize in small business online stores and can help you with routine maintenance, enhancements, SEO and CRM. Let’s talk.
