VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Preliminary reports had the film tracking for a $60–$70 million debut in North America.The Lone Ranger has earned $51,736,805 in the United States and Canada, as of July 7, 2013, and $24,300,000 in other countries, as of July 7, 2013, for a worldwide total of $76,036,805.
After underperforming during its opening weekend, the film was characterized by numerous media sources as a box office flop with many observers comparing it unfavorably to John Carter, another big-budgeted Disney film that failed commercially the year before. The New York Times estimated that the film cost $375 million to produce and market, and would need to generate in an estimated $800 million worldwide to break even, after accounting for revenue splits with theater owners.[66] The Hollywood Reporter noted that the losses from the film could surpass $150 million, with Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures vice-president Dave Hollis calling these results "very disappointing".

Google Is Even Mapping The Fictional World Of Harry Potter


Harry Potter Google Maps
Explore Harry Potter's Diagon Alley on Google Street View. 
Didn't get into Hogwarts when you turned 11? Don't worry. You can still visit the Wizarding World's main drag, Diagon Alley, from the comfort of your desk. Google added the set of Diagon Alley to Google Street View.
Diagon Alley is the main shopping district in the Harry Potter universe, where wizarding students from the book series go to buy schoolbooks, wands, candy, flying brooms and more. What you can see now on Google Maps is the Diagon Alley set from the eight "Harry Potter" films, housed at the Warner Bros. Studio in London. (After all, the real Diagon Alley only exists in J.K. Rowling's mind.)

It may not be as useful as the Marauder's Map, but Google Street View did an excellent job capturing a big piece of the film franchise's set.
To see Diagon Alley and much more Harry Potter paraphernalia in person, head out to London and take the Warner Bros. studio tour. There, you can also explore some of Hogwarts, including Dumbledore's office and the Great Hall, and check out some important props like Harry's broomstick, the Nimbus 2000. If you can't make it out to London, though, this is a good substitute for us muggles.

ROLE OF YOUTH IN POLITICS NOWADAYS




See For yourself choose any five of your FACEBOOK friends watch on their profile you will get political views portion having texts like "I don't give f**k" or something else pretty like this. The problem with the youth now is that he/she is involved pretty much in politics at class level or at college level or in a extended family, but he/she don't like to talk about politics which really affects their life very much. I am not saying about the students learning politics at college but leaving that part of students very few are interested what is going on in politics of  India, why Ishrat jahan is breaking news now, what's behind food security bill, and what's the thinking of govt. behind passing it through ordinance and of course what is the meaning of ordinance. so concluding we can say that if you are a part of society then stop saying " I hate the politics" be a part of politics and choose the leaders or party wisely. know the truths behind every decision and action of political parties. Hope this will motivate you towards the right thing.

Does Being a Bookworm helps your brain be young?????

New research suggests that reading books, writing and participating in brain-stimulating activities at any age may preserve memory.

For the study, 294 people were given tests that measured memory and thinking every year for about six years before their deaths at an average age of 89. They also answered a questionnaire about whether they read books, wrote and participated in other mentally stimulating activities during childhood, adolescence, middle age and at their current age.
After they died, their brains were examined at autopsy for evidence of the physical signs of dementia, such as lesions, brain plaques and tangles.
The research found that people who participated in mentally stimulating activities both early and late in life had a slower rate of decline in memory compared to those who did not participate in such activities across their lifetime, after adjusting for differing levels of plaques and tangles in the brain. Mental activity accounted for nearly 15 percent of the difference in decline beyond what is explained by plaques and tangles in the brain.
The study found that the rate of decline was reduced by 32 percent in people with frequent mental activity in late life, compared to people with average mental activity, while the rate of decline of those with infrequent activity was 48 percent faster than those with average activity.

NECESSITY OF GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS


It is obvious that this question clicks in your mind as, Throughout human history government has been the source of great injustices and repression, not to mention being MASSIVE sources of ineffciency, so why indeed do we put up with them?
The answer is that the absence of government is a state called anarchy, and anarchy sucks worse than a bad government. This absence of government is not a state of freedom, but a state of oppression where one's oppressors are every other citizen. There are no property rights, no limits on crime except for the physical limits. If someone is strong enough (either individually or as a group) to take your property or life, or even take you into bondage and force you to work for them, then they can and often WILL do so.
In places where anarchy reigns, economies do not function because there is no incentive to work to produce anything since it will just be stolen from you as soon as you produce it. Anarchy thus causes rampnat poverty, though one can also say that rampant poverty weakens the government, thereby making anarchy more likely.
So we need some degree of government to prevent this state. A just and free government will only do as much governing as is necessary to create the Rule of Law, but few governments stop there. By their very nature they are power magnets and tend to attract ambitious people who wish to expand the power they wield.
Politics is the process of managing the government to decide what it should do and how it should do it. This is important because government is so powerful it can very easily be misused by those ambitious people I spoke of. It is the classic double-edged sword, necessary, yet dangerous to the wielder as well as the problem against which it is wielded

WOULD AN HOURGLASS TRAFFIC LIGHT MAKE WAITING LESS BORING?????



Sand Glass is a concept traffic-light which gives visual feedback as to just how long you’re going to be stuck at a junction. Using the hourglass as a metaphor, Sand Glass lets its LED-pixels bleed through the lamp’s waist one by one, so you can see just when the lights will change.
It’s great, and if deployed would be diverting enough (for the first few weeks at least) to ease some of the boredom of waiting at the lights. I think the design is a little over-cautious, though, and could be simplified even further.
First, adding numbers seems redundant. Why bother with the whole hourglass schtick if you’re just going to put a countdown up there too? The flowing virtual-sand is plenty clear already, and allows for adjustment of the time remaining, something hard to do inconspicuously with numbers.
The Sand Glass could also remove the amber light altogether. The amber lamp is a throwback to times when both lights at a crossroads would be controlled by the same switch: flipping both lights simultaneously would be dangerous, so the amber light provided a buffer in both directions. With the clear visual timing-signals in the Sand Glass, amber could finally be retired.
I love this concept, especially as it could presumably be made for the same cost as any other LED traffic-light. It might even stop me jumping the lights on my bike.

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT FOR EVERYONE..
  • Sensible interactive design
  • able to see how long to wait or be hurry for everyone, no more reading from numbers
  • countdown number 3-2-1 appears while yellow light turns on, warns people to stop or be ready to go
  • definitely makes waiting less boring

So are you ready to replace the conventional stoplights with sand glass traffic lights????????
