Liam Gallagher reveals he needs a double hip replacement for arthritis

 The former Oasis frontman, 49, said he is in agony every day and has been forced to give up running, as well as use herbal sleeping tablets so he can rest.

Liam Gallagher has revealed he needs a double hip replacement because of his arthritis - but would rather "be in pain" than undergo the surgery.

The former Oasis frontman, 49, said he is in agony every day and has been forced to give up running and use herbal sleeping tablets so he can rest.

But the rocker, who was diagnosed with arthritis three years ago, said he would rather use a wheelchair and live with the pain than have the operation.

'My bones are mashed up'

"My hips are f***ed, I've got arthritis, bad," he told MoJo magazine.

"I went to get it checked out and my bones are mashed up. The lady was going, 'Oh, you might need a hip operation, a replacement.'"

He said he didn't want the operation because of the "stigma".

"I think I'd rather just be in pain. Which is ridiculous, obviously. I know that. Just get them fixed. But it's the stigma, saying you've had your hips replaced. What's next?"

Hip replacement surgery involves replacing the damaged hip joint with a prosthetic impact and has a recovery time of around six weeks.

'I'd rather be in a wheelchair'

Joking about his condition, Gallagher, who has four children from previous relationships, joked his fiancee Debbie Gwyther could care for him.

"F*** off. I'm not going to crisp it having my hip cracked, thank you," he said.

"I'd rather be in a wheelchair, with Debbie pushing me around, like Little Britain."

The Wonderwall singer said he struggles to sleep at night due to his joint pain and uses herbal medication and Deep Heat to manage it.

He told the magazine: "When the weather's cold, my hips are like snap, crackle and pop. I need warmth.

"I can't sleep at night for the pain. Tossing and turning. So I'm on herbal sleeping tablets and they've saved my life. One of them, seven hours out, no pain, nothing.

"My new thing is Deep Heat. Caked myself in it on the knees and hips, the calves, then into the steam room for as long as I can handle it."

The rocker was first diagnosed with arthritis in his hips in 2019, two years after he was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, a thyroid problem that affected his singing voice.

'I'm on the downwards slide'

Gallagher, a keen jogger, was told by doctors to run less to help manage the condition.

But he said doctors have now told him to stop running altogether.

He added: "I don't mind a little pain. Keeps you on your toes. Pain is OK. I'm definitely on the downwards slide, though. Oh yes. My eyes are f***ed, my hips are f***ed, got the old thyroid. But we're all going to die, aren't we? Or are we already dead?

"I'm not afraid of death, whatever it is. Why should you be? It's going to happen anyway. It's being afraid of being born.

"I'm going to just keep doing what I do until I die. Or I'm reborn and turn into a wasp. Or a butterfly. Or turn into a packet of Scampi f***ing Fries."

Pro Russian activist Valery Kuleshov killed in Kherson

 After the capture of Kherson by Russian troops, he began a volunteer career, choosing as his headquarters the former office of the party "We Live Here" Igor Kolikhaev.

On April 20, pro-Russian activist Valery Kuleshov was killed in temporarily arrested Kherson.

This was announced by the leader of the local National Corps, Nikita Tyutyunnik, and later confirmed in a Kuleshov telegram.

According to sources from IMI representatives in the Kherson region, Kuleshov was shot at his entrance in the Shumen micro-district.

He was in the car.

As the regional representative of IMI notes, Valery Kuleshov worked in the police force until 2015. First, as operational commissar at the Dneprovsky District Ministry of Internal Affairs, then as an investigator in Komsomolsky. He has participant status in ATO.

https://ver-animalesfantasticos3-hd.tumblr.com/

Since 2016, he has been active as a social media correspondent.

Until 2019, Kuleshov worked with pro-Russian blogger Kirill Stremousov, organizing political provocations.

In the summer of 2021, they together threatened local journalist Dmitry Bagnenko.

Since the start of the large-scale invasion, Kuleshov has been broadcasting live from the battlefield.

Recall that the Kremlin is ready to bomb cities in the Russian Federation to justify war in Ukraine. It was previously reported that the Russian invaders brought "zombie voters" to Kherson to participate in a pseudo-referendum for KhNR.

This was reported by the local newspaper Most on Wednesday morning, April 20, with reference to the leader of the Kherson National Corps, Nikita Tyutyunnik.

It was recorded that "Kuleshov was shot near his entrance in the Shumen district at around 8:15 am. He was in the car."

Information about the killing of Kuleshov was also confirmed by the deputy of the Kherson regional council Sergey Khlan, transfers Public.

Until 2015, Valery Kuleshov worked in the police force at that time. First as an operations officer in the Dnipro police department, then as an investigator in the Komsomolsk police department. He has ATO participant status.

Since 2016, he has been actively developing the public on social networks. Then he began to work with collaborator Kirill Stremousov.

Until 2019, Kuleshov and Stremosusov actively cooperated and carried out political provocations.

Since 2019, we have distanced ourselves significantly, after a joint flight to China for the "Blogger Congress". But they kept in touch and in the summer of 2021 they threatened the local journalist of the newspaper "Rise" Dmytro Bagnenko.

From the very beginning of the Russian invasion, Kuleshov conducted live broadcasts from the battlefield.

After the capture of Kherson by the Russians, he began his volunteer career, choosing the former office of Mayor Igor Kolikhayev of the "We live here" party as his headquarters. City council deputies and activists have been seen there many times,” Most noted.

Madeleine McCann Burger van advert banned for making light of missing girl

 Madeleine McCann, who was nearly four when she went missing from her family's holiday apartment in Portugal in 2007, was featured in the advert for a burger van with her mother.

Adverts for a burger van that featured pictures of Madeleine McCann have been banned for being offensive.

The ads for the Otley Burger Company, which ran over Mother's Day, showed the missing girl and her mother, Kate McCann, with the caption: "With burgers this good, you'll leave your kids at home. What's the worst that could happen?"

In the background, a man was shown running with a smaller image of Madeleine in his hands, alongside the words: "Happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there."Les Animaux Fantastiques 3 Streaming vF

The promotional images were posted on the company's social media sites and were later reported to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).

Three complaints were filed to the regulatory body, all claiming the ads were likely to cause distress and serious or widespread offence.

The ASA said it considered the nature of the content to be so concerning that it asked Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to remove the posts and suspend the account pending its investigation.

Responding to the complaints, the Leeds-based takeaway said all the ads had been removed and would not appear again.

However, it was still available to view on Facebook on Wednesday morning.

An Instagram post featuring the content has been removed by Meta, the technology giant said, and restrictions have been placed on the burger van's account.

Twitter confirmed that a tweet showing the advert has been deleted.

Madeleine McCann was nearly four when she went missing from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, on Portugal's Algarve, on 3 May 2007.

Her disappearance sent shockwaves around the world and is still widely known, which the ASA said meant the images used in the ad would be "instantly recognisable to many people".Sonic 2 Streaming vF

"We further considered that any reference to a missing child was likely to be distressing and that in the context of an ad promoting a burger company the distress caused was unjustified," the authority added.

It continued to say the image of a man running away with a superimposed photo of Madeleine "trivialised the circumstances" around her disappearance and "made light of a distressing news story".Moon Knight Episode 4 Streaming Vostfr

The Mother's Day timing of the posts was "likely to have compounded the distress of those who saw the ads, and particularly for those who may have experienced the disappearance of a child", the watchdog said.

Ultimately, the ASA ruled the ads must not appear again and the takeaway company has been notified.

Adverts by a takeaway firm featuring Madeleine McCann were likely to cause distress and offence, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has ruled.

Leeds-based Otley Burger Company posted a number of adverts on social media featuring the missing child to coincide with Mother's Day.

The ASA said it had received three complaints about the ads which it upheld.

The Otley Burger Company said the posts would not appear again.

The food business had posted the adverts on a number of platforms, including Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

They featured images of Madeleine, who disappeared on a family holiday in Portugal in 2007, and her mother Kate McCann.

One also showed a man running with a smaller image of Madeleine in his hands and the lines "Burgers for dinner?" and "Happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there".

The ASA said it had received three complaints and asked social media platforms to remove content pending an investigation.

It said the disappearance of Madeleine McCann had been high-profile and considered images of her would be "instantly recognisable".

"We further considered that any reference to a missing child was likely to be distressing, and that in the context of an ad promoting a burger company the distress caused was unjustified."

Meta said it had reviewed the content in an Instagram post and had removed it for violating their policies and had reviewed the account, removing further content, and placed restrictions on it.

Twitter said the tweet had been deleted.

The ASA said adverts must not use shocking claims or images to attract attention and must not contain material likely to cause serious or widespread offence.

It said the use of the text and image "further trivialised the circumstances surrounding Madeleine's disappearance and made light of a distressing news story concerning reports of child abduction and serious crime".

Linking the post to Mother's Day "was likely to have compounded the distress of those who saw the ads, and particularly for those who may have experienced the disappearance of a child" it added.

"For those reasons, we concluded that the ads were likely to cause unjustified distress and serious and widespread offence," the watchdog said.

It said it had told the company to ensure the ads did not reappear.

The company said the ads had been removed and would not appear again.

It is not the first occasion the company has posted controversial content. On Father's Day last year it posted images of well-known serial killers.

The ASA said by the time a complaint was made the adverts had been removed, but the company was reminded of its duty to advertise responsibly at that time.

We’re safe’: Amir Khan describes being robbed at gunpoint while with wife

 Police have launched an investigation after former boxing world champion Amir Khan said he was robbed at gunpoint in London on Monday evening.

The 35-year-old posted on Twitter that he and his wife, Faryal Makhdoom, were safe after an incident in which he was confronted by two men in Leyton, with his watch being stolen.

Khan tweeted: “Just had my watch taken off me at gun point in East London, Leyton. I crossed the road with Faryal, luckily she was few steps behind me. Two men ran to me, he asked for my watch whilst having a gun pointed in my face. The main thing is we’re both safe.”

The Metropolitan police confirmed an investigation had been launched, saying in a statement: “Police were called at 2115 on Monday, April 18 to High Road, Leyton. A man aged in his 30s is alleged to have been approached by two males who threatened him with a firearm before stealing his watch and fleeing. There were no reports of any shots fired or any injuries.

“Police responded and conducted an area search. At this very early stage there have been no arrests. An investigation has begun and police are following a number of enquiries.”

Khan, the former WBA and IBF light-welterweight champion, was beaten by fellow Briton Kell Brook via a sixth-round stoppage in Manchester in February.

That was the sixth defeat of a professional career featuring 34 wins, 21 of which were by knockout.

Boxer Amir Khan has revealed he had his £71,000 watch stolen at gunpoint outside an east London restaurant on Monday night.

Two suspects ran towards the former world champion in the street and one pointed a gun in his face before snatching the diamond-encrusted Franck Muller Vanguard Chronograph timepiece.

Police arrived and searched the area but the men had fled in a getaway car along High Road, Leyton around 9.15pm.

Khan, 35, told fans he and wife Faryal Makhdoom, 30, were safe after the ordeal. She later shared pictures of the watch including its serial number in a bid to “find out who’s done this”.

He tweeted: “Just had my watch taken off me at gun point in East London, Leyton.

“I crossed the road with Faryal, luckily she was few steps behind me. Two men ran to me, he asked for my watch whist having a gun pointed in my face.

“The main thing is we’re both safe.”

The couple were at the end of a night out and were ambushed outside the Sahara Grill venue.

An eyewitness told The Sun Khan was “absolutely terrified”, adding of the muggers: “They were not hanging around. They got straight into the car and fled.

“Amir had enjoyed a lovely evening with his wife and had been shopping earlier in the day.

“It raises real fears he was a deliberate target. It’s extremely serious.”

Hours earlier, Olympic medallist Khan shared photos on Instagram of him shopping with a friend in Oxford Street wearing the flashy rose gold watch, which is studded with 719 diamonds.

The star was also wearing the watch at a charity bash for his foundation at the Grosvenor House hotel in Park Lane on Friday.

Khan posted a further update to his 1.4million Instagram followers on Tuesday morning. In a video, he greeted fans saying: “Good morning everyone, had a good sleep. Last night was a bit mad. But glad everyone is safe.”

Showing his empty wrist, he added: “Feels a bit weird not wearing a watch. I’m all good, me and the wife.”

American influencer Faryal and Bolton-born Khan have been married since 2013 and have three children - Muhammad Zaviyar, two, Alayna, three, and Lamaisah, seven.

The couple are filming the second series of BBC Three reality show Meet the Khans: Big in Bolton which follows their “crazy, fabulous and fast-paced family life”.

In 2012, Khan had had to fight off 20 thugs armed with crowbars trying to steal his £100,000 Range Rover in Birmingham.

Khan, the former WBA and IBF light-welterweight champion, was beaten by fellow Briton Kell Brook via a sixth-round stoppage in Manchester in February.

That was the sixth defeat of a professional career featuring 34 wins, 21 by knockout.

Scotland Yard said: “Police were called at 9.15pm on Monday, April 18 to High Road, Leyton.

“A man aged in his 30s is alleged to have been approached by two males who threatened him with a firearm before stealing his watch and fleeing.

“There were no reports of any shots fired or any injuries.

“Police responded and conducted an area search.

“At this very early stage there have been no arrests.

“An investigation has begun and police are following a number of enquiries.”

Police trawled for CCTV footage along the high street on Tuesday morning.

Detectives spoke to local business owners, including staff at Sahara Grill.

A shop worker said: “Amir walked down the road and they struck. They must have been waiting for him.”

 The Good Boss holds the record for the most nominations for a single film at the Goya Awards, Spain's equivalent of the Oscars. Out of its 20 nominations at the 2022 ceremony, it ended up taking home six awards: Best Picture, Best Actor for Javier Bardem, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for Fernando León de Aranoa, Best Editing, and Best Original Score. Somewhat controversially, Spain selected the film as its official selection for the Best International Feature Oscar, beating out the more critically acclaimed Parallel Mothers. Despite these accolades, however, The Good Boss is an underwhelming movie.

Perhaps The Good Boss appealed to the Goya Award voters so much because it's a movie about desperately trying to win awards. This satirical comedy follows Julio Blanco, the boss of a scale factory who treats his employees as "family" and thus feels way too comfortable prying into their private lives if it means he can get everything in order to win another award for his business. As satire, it's clever. As both comedy and drama, however, the film is seriously hurt by poor pacing. It might be a big award winner, but that doesn't make it a great film.

https://www.herefordrc.co.uk/profile/Then-northman-streaming/profile

The one aspect of the film that truly rises to the level of award-worthy greatness is Javier Bardem's performance as Julio Blanco. Bardem is an actor equally at ease playing affable and villainous, and in The Good Boss, he gets to do both at the same time. Blanco is, for the most part, soft-spoken and ingratiating, even when it's clear his actions are pure manipulation. The rare moments his familial mask cracks are captivating; a single glare of his can turn a calm moment instantly tense.

Various issues come Blanco's way in the week before the big awards assessment. In an obvious bit of symbolism, the factory's scales haven't been perfectly balanced lately. A recently laid-off employee is staging an over-the-top one-man protest just outside company property. Anti-immigrant xenophobia is boiling up in the factory and has already led to violent hate crimes in the nearby city. Productivity is being impacted by workers' relationship woes, which Blanco takes it upon himself to investigate all while engaging in his own illicit affair with one of the young interns.

The Good Boss spends a lot of time setting up these various plot threads -- too much time, really. While there is a lot of plot to set up, the script quickly becomes repetitive in re-emphasizing these various situations. The biggest problem is that, except for some moments in the protest, none of the subplots in this supposed comedy are actually very funny.

When these disparate threads finally come together right before the final assessment, the story gets more interesting in terms of both having something to say and giving Bardem richer material to work with. Even so, it feels like too little too late for the film to truly succeed in its comedic aims. Other anti-corporate satires have made the same points with more laughs and greater entertainment value. Its brilliant central performance aside, The Good Boss ends up feeling like a rough draft for a much better movie than the one that broke award nomination records.

Sen Warren pushes TurboTax for answers about its efforts to block free tax filing

 As millions of Americans file their 2021 income taxes online today, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is demanding answers from Intuit about its popular TurboTax e-filing product.

In a letter to Intuit CEO Sasan K. Goodarzi, Warren says the company has used “extensive lobbying and adroit influence peddling” to prevent Americans from filing their taxes for free online.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed suit against Intuit in March for deceptive marketing, an action Warren calls “both welcome and long overdue.” Reps. Brad Sherman (D-CA) and Katie Porter (D-CA) also signed onto the letter.

Many of Warren’s complaints center on the Free File program, an IRS partnership with a nonprofit coalition of tax prep companies founded in 2003 to provide free tax services to low-income filers. Under the terms of the partnership, 2021 filers with an adjusted gross income of $73,000 or less are eligible for the services, which are listed on the IRS website.

https://www.hondochamber.org/profile/vf-regarder-jujutsukaisen0-vostfr/profile

https://www.hondochamber.org/profile/vf-regarder-morbius-streaming-vostfr/profile

Intuit’s participation in the program came under criticism after a series of ProPublica reports showed that both Intuit and H&R Block had misled Free File-eligible filers into paying to file their taxes. The companies also deliberately made the free versions of their software difficult to find in online search results, according to ProPublica. Intuit left the Free File program in 2021.

In the letter to Goodarzi, Sen. Warren writes that “the Free File program has been a failure, scamming taxpayers into paying for services that should be free,” adding that “deceptive practices and outright sabotage from Free File companies” were largely to blame for the low rate of taxpayer participation in the program — a rate of only about 3 percent, by Warren’s estimation.

Warren’s letter also points to a March 31st report from OpenSecrets, which found that Intuit employed former government officials, including former members of Congress, in its lobbying efforts. Intuit’s corporate political action committee has given donations to both Democrats and Republicans, according to the data. The company spent $3.3 million on lobbying in 2021.

Warren’s letter also notes a “revolving door” problem in enforcement, in which Intuit hires former regulators to help deflect government action. A recent court filing revealed that the company had hired former FTC chair Jon Leibowitz “to defend itself from an FTC complaint,” which Warren says raises conflict of interests concerns. A 2019 report from Public Citizen found that Leibowitz was one of dozens of former FTC officials with such potential revolving door conflicts.

Happy Tax Day! Sen. Elizabeth Warren thinks you might be getting scammed.

In a letter to Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi, Warren, as well as Reps. Katie Porter and Brad Sherman, laid into the company over its TurboTax tax-filing program's fees. According to the lawmakers, TurboTax offers products that "scam American taxpayers into paying for services that should be free."

At the core of their concern is the IRS' Free File program, through which TurboTax and other participants were supposed to offer tax preparation services to low-income Americans for free. But the lawmakers described that program "a failure" due to underutilization, and noted that Intuit left the program last year. According to stats in the letter, the program was intended to serve 70% of Americans, but as of 2018, it was only serving 3%.

Warren, Porter and Sherman hold TurboTax partly accountable for that, in light of reporting by ProPublica, which found the company was adding code to its Free File site that kept it from surfacing in Google results. The company has since changed that code, according to ProPublica, but that did not apparently satisfy Warren and her colleagues.

They argued Intuit's "influence peddling" in Washington has allowed these issues to fly under the radar. The company previously hired a former top IRS official to be its chief tax officer and, according to the letter, Intuit also hired former FTC chair Jon Leibowitz to defend the company against a lawsuit recently filed by the FTC.

That suit takes aim at TurboTax's "bogus" promises of free tax preparation, accusing TurboTax of "disseminating the deceptive claim that consumers can file their taxes for free using TurboTax" when they often end up getting charged in the end. Intuit called the FTC's claims "not credible."

In their letter, the lawmakers described the suit as "welcome and long overdue."

Now, Warren, Porter and Sherman are asking Intuit to answer questions about its "revolving door" with the IRS and other government agencies. In the letter, they asked Intuit to share the number of employees and external partners Intuit has worked with since 1999, who also held roles in the executive branch. They also asked the question in reverse: How many employees or partners went on to work in the executive branch since 1999? The lawmakers are also asking Intuit to share how much money it's made from taxpayers who make less than $73,000 since 1999.

Intuit has until May 2 to provide answers.

Ultimately, though, the letter isn't just seeking answers. It's also seeking to raise the profile of the Tax Filing Simplification Act. It would give Americans a pre-filled return that they could sign and return to file their taxes. But that bill has been kicking around for years now and only seems to get any mention on Tax Day, so don't hold your breath.

For Warren, the letter is as much about getting answers to questions as it is about pushing companies to change their ways without government intervention. After all, the senator does have a long track record of using letters to get her way.

The Ever Forward is finally free from the Chesapeake Bay one month later

 After a month of being lodged in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, the Ever Forward cargo ship is finally free.

Thanks to the help of a high tide, several tug boats and barges — and perhaps a little Easter Sunday miracle — crews plucked the the 1,095-foot ship free from the shallows off Pasadena, Md., on Sunday.

William P. Doyle, the executive director at the Maryland Port Administration, announced the update on social media.

"A tremendous team effort with a little help from the Easter Sunday rising tide in the Chesapeake Bay. The Evergreen, Ever Forward has been [refloated]", he said.

The push to free the massive ship was a team effort including aid from Donjon-Smit, LLC, the salvage manager and the U.S. Coast Guard, he said.

The Ever Forward had just loaded up with cargo in Baltimore and was heading south to Norfolk, Va., when it ran aground on March 13. The container ship reportedly missed a turn leaving Baltimore, causing it to end up in the shallow waters off Pasadena.

Crews worked for weeks to pluck the ship free. They used "every facet of the sector including dredging, marine construction, tugs, barges (deck barges, crane barges, and pull barges)," Doyle said.

The saga of the Ever Forward was reminiscent of the Ever Given, which is also owned by the Taiwan-based Evergreen Marine Corp. The Ever Given blocked the Suez Canal for six days last March, causing major shipping disruptions.

A giant container ship that was stuck in the Chesapeake Bay for more than five weeks is on the move again.

The Ever Forward cargo ship reached the Annapolis area around 10am Sunday where it will remain anchored until it continues its journey to Baltimore, the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed to WBAL-TV.

The 1,096-foot boat had been stuck in the Chesapeake Bay, off the coast of Gibson Island, since March 13. Its sister vessel the Ever Given infamously blocked the Suez Canal in Egypt for six days during March 2021.

Although the ship, which traveled to the States from Hong Kong, was stuck for more than a month, officials told Bloomberg it has not disrupted trade.

It was on a brief sailing from Baltimore to Norfolk, Virginia, when it got stuck on muddy ground, with 330 cargo containers since lifted off using barges to help refloat it more easily.

Video footage showed seven tug boats towing the Ever Forward boat under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge around 9.10 am Sunday.

This was the third time crews had tried to free the ship.

The Coast Guard is providing the Ever Forward with a security zone while the tug boats continue to transport the ship to a location south of the bay where officials will then assess the situation.

Crews will need to set up a designated time slot to on-load the hundreds of containers that were removed from the ship this past week to lighten the ship and free it. Two barges were used to take the containers back to the Port of Baltimore.

It is unclear when the on-loading will occur and the Coast Guard did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.

The Ever Forward was supposed to call at four east coast ports after departing China on February 2. The vessel had been carrying about 5,000 containers.

Crews removed 500 containers and dredged about 20 feet of material on both of its sides to lighten the load and pull it back into the channel.

As of 10.30am Sunday, the ship was traveling at a speed of 5.6 knots, according to tracking website MarineTraffic.
