Facebook to make people switch to new profile over 'next few weeks'
Facebook will soon start requiring people to switch to a new profile format known as Timeline, making photos, links and personal musings from the past much easier to find.Timeline is essentially a scrapbook of your whole life on Facebook, compared with a snapshot of you today found on Facebook's traditional profile page. Once activated, Timeline replaces the current profile.
Although some people have already voluntarily switched to Timeline, Facebook hadn't made that mandatory. Beginning Tuesday in the US, Facebook is telling some users that they have seven days to clean up their profiles before Timeline gets automatically activated. Facebook is rolling out the requirement to others over "the next few weeks".

“There is a lot of good theory about this age difference in happiness, but much of the research does not provide direct evidence” of the links between such phenomena and actual happiness, said psychologist Derek M. Isaacowitz of Northeastern University. Isaacowitz and the late Fredda Blanchard-Fields of Georgia Institute of Technology have argued for more rigorous research.

Pieces of plaster falling from ceiling, seepage discolouring the walls of rooms, broken windows or windows without glasses, doors having left the concrete bindings, loose electrical fittings and wiring, broken water pipeline causing seepage, trees (even peepal) growing on the external walls and more!

A song on their lips, a prayer in their hearts
Leave politics to the politicians is what once bitten twice shy Sufi singer Hans Raj Hans has to say to artistes trying their luck in the political arena in the Punjab Assembly elections.
But the artistes are determined to deliver a poll punch. They claim to be different and are confident their fate would also differ from that of their predecessors.
Punjab does not have a history of supporting artistes in politics, however big the name. Hans Raj Hans unsuccessfully contested the last Parliamentary elections from Jalandhar. Folk legend, the late Kuldeep Manak bit the dust when he contested the 1996 parliamentary elections as an Independent from Bathinda.
