Ozzy Osbourne's Final Words For His Memoir
Osbourne is quoted saying in the teaser for his memoir that, "People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I'm like, f--- no. If I'd been clean and sober, I wouldn't be Ozzy. If I'd done normal, sensible things, I wouldn't be Ozzy. Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can't complain. I've been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. I've done good... and I've done bad," as quoted by Men's Journal report.
Live Events
The Prince of Darkness has reportedly had many ups and downs in the last few years of his life, and the description of 'Last Rites' pointed out that "In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalized with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour and—all public life—as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down," as quoted in the report.
The lead vocalist of Black Sabbath's memoir is expected to be an intimate look into the past years of Osbourne's life as the description claims that "LAST RITES is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Ozzy's descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career, including his marriage to wife Sharon, as well as his reflections on what it took for him to get back onstage for the triumphant Back to the Beginning concert, streamed around the world, where Ozzy reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for the final time," as quoted in the Men's Journal report.

A Life of Accolades and Achievements
According to Hachette Book Group's report, Osbourne was the Sunday Times bestselling author of I Am Ozzy (2009), who has been awarded many accolades during his career and in 2024 was inducted as a solo artist into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Andhra Pradesh: YSRCP objects to "restrictions" on YS Jagan's Nellore visit

YSR Congress Party on Tuesday took strong objection to the "restrictions" being imposed in Nellore in the wake of former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy 's visit. "Notices were issued to our leaders, and many restrictions were imposed to scuttle the scheduled visit of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy to Nellore jail, where he will visit KakGovardhan Reddy, who was detained illegally," Former TTD Chairman and YSR Congress leader Bhumana Karunakar Reddy said.

Taking a dig at the P4 concept of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu , he said, there was a shift from governance to philosophy and helping the poor is a philanthropic work and is in no way part of governance. He alleged that Chandrababu has amassed so much wealth for himself that he can sponsor the 20 lakh families identified for P4, thereby avoiding the need to coerce the state administration and set targets. Live Events "None of the TDP MLAs and leaders had come forward to sponsor any family under the much hyped P4 concept, but they started collecting funds in the name of P4, which shows the way governance is being run in the State," he said. Jagan Mohan Reddy will be visiting the SPSR Nellore district on July 31. Meanwhile, Former minister and YSRCP East Godavari district president Chelluboina Srinivasa Venugopala Krishna expressed severe anger over the condition of welfare hostels under the coalition government led by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Speaking to the media at Rajamahendravaram Press Club, Krishna stated that the coalition government is playing with the lives of students. "Substandard food is being served in hostels. Quality menu schemes have been scrapped. Hostels have turned into living hells due to government negligence," he alleged. He blamed Education Minister Nara Lokesh's inefficiency for the deteriorating state of hostel facilities, stating that even proper meals are not being provided.

NASA has denied these claims. According to their records, no such event is scheduled for that date. Instead, a partial solar eclipse will occur later that year on September 21, 2025. This will be visible only in select regions and will not cause complete darkness. Solar Eclipse Rumors NASA Clarification: Next One Is on August 2, 2027 The real total solar eclipse being referred to will happen on August 2, 2027. This eclipse will be visible in parts of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. It is being called the "eclipse of the century" because it will last up to 6 minutes and 23 seconds—the longest seen from land since 1991. Live Events Solar Eclipse Rumors NASA Clarification: Where will Next Total Solar Eclipse Be Visible? This eclipse will cover a narrow path around 160 miles wide, stretching over 9,462 miles, passing through 11 countries: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Somalia. Solar Eclipse Rumors NASA Clarification: Why Is the 2027 Eclipse So Long? The 2027 eclipse will last longer due to specific astronomical factors: The Earth will be near aphelion (its farthest point from the Sun), making the Sun appear smaller. The Moon will be near perigee (its closest point to Earth), making it appear larger. The eclipse's path will pass near the equator, where the Moon's shadow moves more slowly across Earth. These combined effects will extend the period of darkness during the eclipse. What Happens During a Total Solar Eclipse? A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves directly between the Earth and the Sun. It blocks the Sun's light completely for a few minutes. People in the eclipse's path will see: The Sun completely covered The corona, or outer layer of the Sun A brief moment of near-total darkness in daytime Total solar eclipses are rare and only visible from narrow regions on Earth. Partial Solar Eclipse in 2025: What to Expect? While the rumor focused on August 2, 2025, the only notable event that year is a partial solar eclipse on September 21, 2025. It will be visible in parts of Africa, Europe, and southern Asia. North America and other regions will not experience any eclipse. During a partial eclipse, the Moon covers part of the Sun, causing it to appear crescent-shaped. Why the Obsession With Solar Eclipses? Solar eclipses attract global interest because they are rare and visually striking. Events like the upcoming 2027 eclipse draw attention from scientists, tourists, and sky-watchers. The last eclipse of this length happened in 1991. The next one this long will not happen again until well after 2100. For many, witnessing a total eclipse is a once-in-a-lifetime event. FAQs Will the world go dark on August 2, 2025, due to a solar eclipse? No. NASA confirms there is no total solar eclipse on that date. The next total eclipse is scheduled for August 2, 2027. Where will the August 2, 2027 solar eclipse be visible? It will be seen in parts of Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East. Other areas will only witness a partial eclipse or none at all.

Trump caps his Scottish visit by opening a new golf course

U.S. President Donald Trump opened a new golf course bearing his name in Scotland on Tuesday, capping a five-day foreign trip designed to promote his family's luxury properties and play golf. "Let's go. 1-2-3," Trump said before he used a golden pair of scissors to cut a red ribbon and fireworks popped to mark the ceremonial opening of the new Trump course in the village of Balmedie on Scotland's northern coast.

He thanked his son Eric for his work on the project, saying it was "truly a labor of love for him." Son Don Jr. also was present. Eric Trump said the course was a "passion project" for his father. Immediately after the opening, Trump, Eric Trump and two professional golfers teed off on the first hole. Trump rarely allows the news media to watch his golf game, though video journalists and photographers often find him along the course wherever he plays. Trump planned to play 18 holes before he arrives back in Washington on Tuesday night. Live Events The overseas jaunt let Trump escape Washington's sweaty summer heat and humidity while questions about the case of Jeffrey Epstein followed him across the Atlantic Ocean. But it added to a lengthy list of ways the Republican president has used the White House to promote his brand. Billing itself as the "Greatest 36 Holes in Golf," the Trump International Golf Links, Scotland, was designed by Eric Trump. The course is hosting a PGA Seniors Championship event later this week before it begins offering rounds to the public on Aug. 13. Signs promoting the event were seen all around the course on Tuesday, while temporary signage on the highway guided drivers onto the correct road. Golfers hitting the course at dawn as part of that event had to put their clubs through metal detectors as part of the security procedures for Trump's arrival. The day combined two things close to Trump's heart: golf and Scotland. His mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born on the Isle of Lewis and eventually went to New York. She died in 2000 at age 88. "My mother loved Scotland," Trump said Monday during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at another of his golf courses, Turnberry, on Scotland's southern coast. "It's different when your mother was born here." He appeared to be in such a good mood that he even praised the throng of journalist who had assembled to cover the event, saying there was no "fake news" on the course. "I didn't use the word 'fake news' one time, not one time," Trump said. Trump worked some official business into the trip by holding talks with Starmer and reaching a trade framework for tariffs between the U.S. and the European Union's 27 member countries - though scores of key details remain to be settled. But the trip has featured a lot of golf, and the presidential visit is sure to raise the new course's profile. Trump's assets are in a trust, and his sons are running the family business while he's in the White House. Any business generated at the course will ultimately enrich the president when he leaves office, though. Visible from around the new course are towering wind turbines lining the coast, part of a nearby windfarm Trump sued to try to block construction of in 2013. He lost the case and was eventually ordered to pay legal costs for bringing it - and the issue still enrages him. During the meeting with Starmer, Trump called windmills "ugly monsters" and suggested they were part of "the most expensive form of energy." "I restricted windmills in the United States because they also kill all your birds," Trump said. "If you shoot a bald eagle in the United States, they put you in jail for five years. And windmills knock out hundreds of them. They don't do anything. Explain that." Starmer said in the U.K, "we believe in a mix" of energy, including oil, gas and renewables. The new golf course will be the third owned by the Trump Organization in Scotland. Trump bought Turnberry in 2014 and owns another course near Aberdeen that opened in 2012. Trump golfed at Turnberry on Saturday, as protesters took to the streets, and on Sunday. He invited Starmer, who famously doesn't golf, aboard Air Force One so the prime minister could get a private tour of his Aberdeen properties before Tuesday's ceremonial opening. "Even if you play badly, it's still good," Trump said of golfing on his course over the weekend. "If you had a bad day on the golf course, it's OK. It's better than other days." ___ Superville reported from Washington.
