Uncle Ben’s Plans to Change Its ‘Brand Identity’ to ‘End Racial Biases’
Hours after Quaker Oats announced that it would rename the Aunt Jemima logo on its brand of maple syrup and other breakfast foods, Uncle Ben’s Rice announced that it would be changing its “brand identity” to “end racial biases and injustices.” “As a global brand, we know we have a responsibility to take a stand in helping to put an end to racial bias and injustices,” the Mars-owned brand said in a statement. “As we listen to the voices of consumers, especially in the Black community, and to the voices of our Associates worldwide, we recognize that now is the right time to evolve the Uncle Ben’s brand, including its visual brand identity, which we will do,” the statement continued. The company added that it did not yet know “what the exact timing or changes will be.” Still, the company said it is “evaluating all possibilities.” “Racism has no place in society.

A musician makes guitar from his dead uncle’s skeleton
A musician, known as Prince Midnight, has created a fully-functioning electric guitar from the skeleton of his dead uncle. Filip, who died in a car accident 20 years ago, had requested that his skeleton be donated to a local college for educational purposes. As per reports, the college no longer had need of the skeleton and his family refused to have him cremated. Midnight filled out extensive paperwork to have Filip’s bones sent to his home back. He used the skeleton of his uncle and transformed it into a guitar. He created a customized instrument that not too many musicians in the world will be willing to touch. That's because it's a macabre creation that involves the musician's dead relative. Speaking to MetalSucks about his creation, Midnight said: “I got the box of bones from Greece and didn’t know what to do at first. Bury them? Cremate them? Put them in the attic? All seemed like poor ways to memorialize someone who got me into heavy metal. “So, I decided to … [Read more...] about A musician makes guitar from his dead uncle’s skeleton
Exclusive- ‘Rajiv Kapoor had come to Mumbai to stay with his brother Randhir during the lockdown,’ says uncle Prem Chopra
Rajiv Kapoor, 58, is no more. ETimes broke the shocking news with a very heavy heart about two hours ago. We now hear that Randhir and Rishi's younger brother Rajiv was in the city since the last 8-10 months. Rajiv's uncle, senior actor Prem Chopra, when contacted, told ETimes, "Well, it is common knowledge in our industry that Rajiv stays in Pune. He was here in Mumbai simply for one reason". Rajiv has a small but plush bungalow in Pune, which he has maintained very well. It so happens that Rajiv felt that he should be with his elder brother Randhir after the COVID induced lockdown in March 2020. Thereafter, the two started staying together at their ancestral Chembur home. "Rajiv had moved in for some time to be with Randhir, and as far as I know, he was fine. He has had a massive cardiac arrest. It is really very sad that he is no more." Prem Chopra goes on to add, "Rajiv was a very loving nephew to me.

Heartbreak of TV star whose uncle was murdered by burglars and his cousin shot
There were a number of reasons why Sanjeev Bhaskar never expected to win his role as Detective Sergeant Sunny Khan in TV’s latest tantalising murder mystery. With what I quickly realise is a default modesty setting, he says he only auditioned for Unforgotten to tell writer Chris Lang how much he’d enjoyed the script and how much he looked forward to watching the TV drama now holding us all in its grip. The comic star of Goodness Gracious Me and The Kumars At No 42 didn’t think he’d land such a prime-time role – and he couldn’t really imagine an Asian face being picked. “But most of all,” he laughs, “I just thought I’m not good-looking enough. "There are lots of really good-looking actors out there who could play this and I don’t count myself as one of them.” For an established star of 51 who has an OBE and forms a power couple with actor and writer wife Meera Syal , he has a rather surprising habit of underplaying everything he says about himself – even when he talks … [Read more...] about Heartbreak of TV star whose uncle was murdered by burglars and his cousin shot
