<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Social networking giant </span>Facebook<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"> said it has paid over $1 million in the past two years to security researchers who report </span>bugs<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"> on its website, with India second among recipients by country.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">India, which has over 78 million Facebook users, is also second on the list of countries with the fastest-growing number of recipients of its Bug Bounty programme.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">A bug is an error </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">A five-year-old who was kept hostage, mutilated and raped by her neighbour, is fighting for her life at Delhi's famous AIIMS hospital.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The barbarous attack on her - she was violated with pieces of a candle and a bottle - has outraged the city. Through the day, protestors shouted slogans against politicians and the police at the hospital where she was being treated in East Delhi till she was moved to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The man who attacked her is missing. Doctors who treated the child said her injuries show he tried to strangle her.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">"This is the first time that I have seen such barbarism with a five-year-old," said RK Bansal, medical superintendent of Swami Dayanand Hospital.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">She was kidnapped on Monday while she was playing outside her home, and was then kept captive in the basement of the same building where she lived by a man who rented a room there about a week ago. On Wednesday evening, it was not the police but neighbours who found her after they heard her cries.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Her father says the police offered him </span><span class="rupee" style="background-color: white; font-family: RupeeForadianRegular !important; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">R<span style="left: -9999em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: absolute; text-indent: -9999em;">s.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> 2000 "to keep quiet". He said they advised him, "Thank God that she has been found alive." </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Offering a weak defense, the police said that it searched public parks in the neighbourhood, but did not think to search the many rooms in the building where the family lived.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said that he was "deeply disturbed" by the "shameful incident".</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Since December, when the fatal gang-rape of a student on a Delhi bus stunned and incensed the country, the city's police and government have vowed that no effort will be spared to protect women. But a slew of attacks, many of them against young girls, prove that despite the introduction of tougher anti-rape laws and pledges of better policing, little has changed for a city titled "the rape capital" of India.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The game will feature three main cities; Havana, Kingston, and Nassau, which reside under Spanish, English and pirate influence respectively. The game will also feature 50 locations to explore, with 60/40 balance between land and naval exploration.<i>Assassin's Creed IV</i> will have a more</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> open world feel, with missions similar to those found in <i>Assassin's Creed</i>, as well as less restrictions for the player. The world opens up sooner in the game, as opposed to <i>Assassin's Creed III</i>, which had very scripted missions and did not give players freedom to explore until the game was well into its first act. The player will encounter jungles, forts, ruins and small villages and the world is being built to allow players much more freedom, such as allowing players to engage, board, and capture passing ships and swimming to nearby beaches in a seamless fashion. In addition, the hunting system has been retained from <i>Assassin's Creed III</i>, allowing the player to hunt on land, and harpoon in the water.</span><br />

This comparsion review which i read in pcadvisor.uk about the comparison on s4 and lumia 920 was excellent ...<br />
<br />
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We recently polled nearly 30,000 people on what they thought was the most desirable smartphone, money no object, a massive 30 percent of them went for the Nokia Lumia 920. This flagship Windows phone may not be the most popular smartphone in terms of sales, but those who like the Nokia Lumia 920 *love it*.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
On the other hand the <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Samsung Galaxy S4 </strong>is one of the most anticipated smartphones ever. It is likely to be the most popular high-end Android phone on the market when it launches in the UK on April 26th. But how does the Galaxy S4 shape up when compared to the most desirable Windows Phone 8 handset: the Nokia Lumia 920? We compared the two phones to find out.</div>
<h2 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Nokia Lumia 920: Design</span></h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Galaxy S4 looks quite similar to the Galaxy S3 in design. The Galaxy S4 is rounded and pebble-like. The S4 is mostly plastic with a removable cover and comes either in black or white.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Lumia 920, on the other hand, comes in bright yellow among other colours and has a one-piece polycarbonate body with rounded edges. In this respect, it's not doing much differently from the Lumia 800, but it's still more conspicuous and fun than the Galaxy S4. Which you prefer will come down to your subjective sense of style.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
With a 5in screen and measuring 69.8 x 136.6mm the Galaxy S4 is a pretty big smartphone. It is wafer thin at 7.9mm and at 130g light too. The Lumia 920 is chunkier, at 71x130x10.7mm. It weighs 185g, too, which is 25g heavier than the Lumia 900. It's a weighty phone - if thin and light is your desire, the S4 wins hands down. <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">See also: Group test: what's the best smartphone?</strong></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Nokia Lumia 920: Screen</span></h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Lumia 920" class="lightbox" height="182" src="http://cdn3.pcadvisor.co.uk/cmsdata/reviews/3437660/nokia-lumia-920_III_thumb.jpg" style="border: 0px; cursor: pointer; float: right; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Click to enlarge" width="250" />The Lumia 920 has a 4.5in screen and a huge resolution of 1280x768 (roughly speaking, that's a 16:10 aspect ratio). Pixel density works out at a once-considered-outstanding 332ppi. It's an IPS LCD screen with an anti-glare filter and, although we've yet to put the two side by side, it's entirely possible that the winner in terms of clarity, is the Lumia 920.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The 920's screen is curved like the Lumia 800's (Nokia calls this 2.5D) and also works if you're wearing gloves,as does the Samsung Galaxy S4.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Galaxy S4 has a 5in display with a Full HD resolution of 1080x1920, giving it a whopping pixel density of 441ppi. The Samsung Galaxy S4 display uses SuperAMOLED technology and Gorilla Glass 3.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We haven't spent enough time with the Samsung Galaxy S4 to make a fair comparison, but both the Lumia 920 and S4 have great screens, unimaginable even 18 months ago.</div>
<h2 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Nokia Lumia 920: Processor</span></h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Most of our benchmarks don't work on Windows Phone 8 and we haven't yet banchmarked the Samsung Galaxy S4, so what follows will be largely subjective, I'm afraid.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Lumia 920 runs Windows Phone 8 and has a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chip, backed by 1GB of RAM. This may seem under par compared to some recent Android smartphones boasting quad-core processors and 2GB of RAM, but it's sufficient to run Microsoft's mobile OS well.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Samsung Galaxy S4" class="lightbox" height="375" src="http://cdn3.pcadvisor.co.uk/cmsdata/reviews/3437660/Samsung_Galaxy_S4_thumb.jpg" style="border: 0px; cursor: pointer; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Click to enlarge" width="250" />We were able to run the SunSpider JavaScript test which vindicated Microsoft's claim that Internet Explorer 10 is fast. We recorded an average of 922ms, almost as quick as the iPhone 5's tally of 903ms.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Geenral performance is great. Navigation around the system happens effortlessly without lag although menus and lists tend to judder somewhat if you scroll slowly. A select few apps, however, such as Nokia Maps and Cinemagraph take a few seconds to load.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Going on the specification, we'd expect the Galaxy S4 to beat all comers in our benchmark tests. That's despite the fact that Samsung has confirmed that the UK model of the Galaxy S4 will use a 1.9GHz quad-core processor instead of the octa-core chip. We'll let you know how this affects performance as soon as possible. But it's important to remember that, aside from benchmarks, both the Galaxy S4 and the Lumia 920 are two highly powerful smartphones.</div>
<h2 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Nokia Lumia 920: Storage</span></h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Samsung Galaxy S4 comes in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models. It has a microSD card slot that takes 64GB cards as standard.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Nokia offers the 920 with 32GB of storage (plus 7GB free with a Microsoft SkyDrive account), but despite Windows Phone 8 allowing the option of memory expansion, the Lumia 920 doesn't have a memory card slot.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Nokia Lumia 920: Cameras</span></h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Galaxy S4 has a 13Mp rear facing camera with the ability to shoot video in Full HD 1080p quality. It has a 2Mp front-facing camera that can also record 1080p video. We haven't yet had the opportunity to properly test the image quality of the S4's camera.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Lumia 920 could match or beat the Galaxy S4 here as it has an 8.7Mp sensor and optical, rather than electronic, stabilisation. Nokia has also shown off the ability to add features to the 920's camera app - including augmented reality with its so-called City Lens. It can also shoot 1080p video.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
On the most part we found still photos from the 8.7Mp PureView rear facing camera with its Carl Zeiss lens very good. Colour balance, saturation and exposure were all of a good standard but some photos weren't quite as sharp as we'd hoped. We also found a lot of noise reduction leading to a loss of detail.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The most outstanding feature of the 920's camera is that optical image stabilisation. It means video footage, which can be recorded in full-HD, is extremely smooth.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We found the Lumia 920's camera excellent in low light conditions. Where most phones would struggle to cope we managed to get usable, but not remarkable, results. There's a built-in flash for those moments where it's just too dark. The front facing 1.2Mp camera also provides a good quality image although there is some obviously graining.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Nokia Lumia 920: Software</span></span></h2>
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17.265625px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Samsung Galaxy S4 runs a modified version of Google's Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2. The Galaxy S4 with TouchWiz comes with exclusive software features. With an up-to-date version of Jelly Bean there are expandable notifications and importantly Google Now. There is, of course, access to the Google Play Store for apps, books, magazines, films and music, as well as Samsung's own app and media stores. This is an area very much down to personal opinion, but if you have never used a Samsung Android phone it is worth trying before you buy.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Lumia 920 runs Microsoft's new mobile operating system – <a href="http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/software/3407872/windows-phone-8-review/" rel="follow" style="border: 0px; color: #005689; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Windows Phone 8</a>. If you're using Windows 8 you'll recognise the brightly coloured tiled interface. The two operating systems now share the same structure but Windows Phone 8 doesn't have all of Windows 8's features. For example there's no charms bar and you can't use a gesture to switch between apps.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We've written a detailed Windows Phone 8 review for the uninitiated. But suffice to say that it looks and feels different to more popular mobile OSes such as Android and iOS. That may not be a bad thing: it's stable and good looking, and those that like WP8 tend to love it. App support isn't great, but Microsoft keeps telling us that the numbers of key apps goes up every week. However, because of Android's greater popularity, the Galaxy S4 just shades this section for us. </div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Nokia Lumia 920: Battery</span></h2>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Galaxy S4 has a large and removable, 2600mAh battery. This doesn't automatically mean that the Samsung offers long battery life but its higher capacity means it is likely to be a good long-life phone - that despite the fact that the Galaxy S4 in the UK won't have the power saving saving cores of the Exynos processor. We're looking forward to finding out when we get our Galaxy S4 review sample.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Nokia has fitted the Lumia 920 with an above-average sized non-removable 7.4Wh battery pack.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We got comfortably through a full day of use with the Lumia 920 and at the end of the day we had nearly 25 percent of the battery remaining. While this is typical of today's Android handsets, we were expecting more.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Luckily the wireless charging feature should help you to easily keep the Lumia 920 topped up. A Nokia wireless charging dock will set you back around £40 so keep one on your bedside table or at work and you shouldn't find yourself running out of battery.</div>
<h2 style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Nokia Lumia 920: The bottom line</span></h2>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We're not going to make any definitive judgments because we haven't yet spent enough time with the Samsung Galaxy S4. Suffice to say that both of these phones offer high-end features and good performance. They each have great displays and good cameras. Windows Phone users swear that their platform is the best, but you will find that some of the apps you like are available on Android and not Windows Phone. Ultimately, the choice is yours - select either of these flagship phones and you are unlikely to be disappointed</div>

THIS NEWS IS BROUGHT TO U BY THE HINDU NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER<br />
<br />
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Some in anguish, some in fear, Venezuelans raced for home and stocked up on food and water Tuesday after the government announced the death of President Hugo Chávez, the larger-than-life firebrand socialist who led the nation for 14 years.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Vice-President Nicolas Maduro’s voice broke and tears ran down his face as he appeared on national television to announce that Mr. Chávez died at 4.25 p.m. local time (11.25 p.m. IST) “after battling hard against an illness over nearly two years.”</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
A few hours later, Foreign Minister Elias Jaua affirmed one of Chávez’s final wishes — Mr. Maduro would be interim President and then be the ruling party’s candidate to carry on Mr. Chávez’s populist “revolution” in elections to be called within 30 days</div>
<a name='more'></a>.<br />
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
It was a day fraught with mixed signals, some foreboding and some violent. Just a few hours before announcing Chávez’s death, Mr. Maduro made a virulent speech against enemies he claimed were trying to undermine Venezuelan democracy.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
And he said two U.S. military attaches had been expelled for trying to destabilise the nation.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
In announcing the death of the former Army paratrooper who wielded Venezuela’s oil wealth to benefit the poor and win friends regionally, Mr. Maduro shifted tone.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
“Let there be no weakness, no violence. Let there be no hate. In our hearts there should only be one sentiment — Love. Love, peace and discipline.”</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
The government declared seven days of mourning and closed all schools and universities until next Monday.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
All across downtown Caracas, shops and restaurants began to close and Venezuelans hustled for home, some even breaking into a run.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Many people looked incredulous or anguished.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
“I feel a sorrow so big I can’t speak,” said Yamilina Barrios, a 39-year-old clerk who works in the Industry Ministry, her face covered in tears. “He was the best this country had.”</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
“I hope the country calms down and continues the work that he left us, continues in unity and the progress continues,” Ms. Barrios said.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Among the nervous was Maria Elena Lovera, a 45-year-old housewife. “I want to go home. People are crazy and are way too upset.”</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
There were several incidents of political violence.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
In one, a group of masked, helmeted men on motorcycles, some brandishing revolvers, attacked about 40 students who had been protesting for more than a week near the Supreme Court building to demand the government give more information about Chávez’s health.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
The attackers, who didn’t wear clothing identifying any political allegiance, burned the students’ tents and scattered their food just minutes after the death was announced.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
“They burned everything we had,” said student leader Gaby Arellano. She said she saw four of the attackers with pistols but none fired a shot.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Outside the military hospital where Chávez’s remains were visited by loved ones and confederates, an angry crowd attacked a Colombian TV reporter.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
“They beat us with helmets, with sticks, men, women, adults,” Carmen Andrea Rengifo said on RCN TV. Video images showed her bleeding above the forehead but she was not seriously injured.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Mr. Maduro and other government officials have recently railed against international media for allegedly reporting rumours about Chávez’s health, though RCN was not among those stations criticised.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
After nightfall, several hundred people gathered at Bolivar Square, a symbolic place for Chavistas because it has a huge nine-metre-tall statue of Simon Bolivar, the 19th century independence hero who Mr. Chávez claimed as his inspiration.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Some arrived singing Venezuela’s national anthem and holding up posters of Mr. Chávez. Many chanted “I am Chávez,” which had been a campaign slogan of the President.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
One man began shouting through a megaphone a warning to the opposition: “They won’t return.” The crowd then joined in, chanting: “They won’t return.”</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Mr. Maduro, who had urged people to meet at the square, called on the opposition to respect “the people’s pain”.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
“Those who never supported the comandante Hugo Chávez, respect the pain of the people. This is the moment to think of our families, of our country.”</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Mr. Chávez leaves behind a political movement firmly in control of the nation, but with some doubt about how a new leadership will be formed.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Mr. Chávez’s illness prevented him from taking the oath of office after he was re-elected to a new term on October 7 and the Constitution says the Speaker of the National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello, should take over as interim President under such circumstances.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
But Mr. Jaua said Mr. Maduro would assume the rule as that was Chávez’s will.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
The man Mr. Chávez defeated in October, the youthful Miranda State Governor Henrique Capriles, is widely expected to represent the opposition.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Venezuela’s Defence Minister appeared on television to announce that the military will remain loyal to the Constitution in the wake of Mr. Chávez’s death.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Adm. Diego Molero appealed for “unity, tranquility and understanding” among Venezuelans.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
The announcement of Chávez’s death stunned Venezuelans, if it did not surprise them.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Earlier in the day, Mr. Maduro was more belligerent in tone as he announced the government had expelled two U.S. diplomats from the country and said “we have no doubt” that Mr. Chávez’s cancer, which was first diagnosed in June 2011, was induced by “the historical enemies of our homeland.”</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Mr. Chávez’s inner circle has long claimed the United States was behind a failed 2002 attempt to overthrow him, and he has frequently played the anti-American card to stir up support. Venezuela has been without a U.S. ambassador since July 2010 and expelled another U.S. military officer in 2006.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell rejected the assertion that the U.S. was trying to destabilise Venezuela and said it “leads us to conclude that, unfortunately, the current Venezuelan government is not interested in and improved relationship.”</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Mr. Maduro has been taking on a larger role since Mr. Chávez urged Venezuelans to choose him as President before disappearing in early December to undergo a fourth round of cancer surgery in Cuba.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Mr. Maduro said Tuesday that the government was “on the trail of other elements that figure in this entire venomous scenario and are seeking to stir up trouble.”</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Later Tuesday, Mr. Jaua said a second U.S. Air Force attache was being expelled, also for alleged espionage. The Pentagon said the officer, Devlin Costal, was already in the United States.</div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
“Let’s remember that active participation of the United States in the fascist coup of 2002,” Mr. Jaua said.</div>

The models could be released this year, according to a post by a Sina Tech user called Old Yao. He reports that a friend of his at a supplier has seen the models and says that the iPhone 5S resembles the iPhone 5, while the iPhone 6 is wider, longer, and thinner.</div>

Earlier analyst speculation held that Apple would release an iPhone 5S and a revamped version of the iPhone 5 in June or July. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted last month that the new S model would resemble the current model with a few improvements, including an A7 chip for faster performance and a fingerprint sensor.</div>

A larger screen size for an iPhone 6 might attract consumers smitten with Samsung's 4.8-inch Galaxy S3 and 5.5-inch Galaxy Note 2.</div>

HTC for a long time is been trying to dominate the mobile world but the marketing strategy of the company is a little careless of the release date..for eg..HTC one X was released just before Samsung Galaxy S3!!! Now tell me with better specs and better quality why the hell did they release it just before it..they should have done it a month back so as to get a better sales for their mobile. Nevermind I am a fan of HTC for a long time and just because of this,the sales of this phone or which ever phone it has been releasing its been a just show cause hit. Coming back to the main topic of my post HTC M7.. RUMORS,RUMORS,RUMORS its been spreading like a virus and not only of HTC but of every major mobile company be it Samsung,Blackberry,Huawei etc.<br />
Before the release the specs are out,the designs which date its coming and all but not the price of it....<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #f0f0f0;">Stargazers are gearing up for a grand treat as the Moon and Jupiter will get very close tonight. Earth's lone natural satellite will first move towards the largest planet in the Solar System before inching below the latter. Jupiter and the Moon will seem to be hardly a half a degree apart, but do not let the optical illusion mislead you. Actually the fifth planet from the Sun is far away from the dense satellite on which Neil Armstrong made the "giant leap for mankind" back in Jul 1969. The distance between Jupiter and Earth is a staggering 6659 lakh kms. The corresponding figure for the Moon is just over 4 lakh kms. According to astronomers, heavenly bodies often approach each other. The phenomenon is known as appulse. In fact, the Moon passing by the planets one by one is a monthly occurrence.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #f0f0f0;">What makes this particular appulse extraordinary is the degree of closeness. If anybody forgets to watch the skies tonight or dark clouds obstruct one's vision, there is no need to fret since there will be a repeat in less than two months time. On Mar 17, Jupiter will again near the Moon. And the two celestial bodies are slated to do a even more interesting tango in Aug 2016</span><br style="background-color: #f0f0f0;" /></span></div>

Lamborghini has been ruling the market for many years not in terms of top speed, its top price but its sheer luxury and design it has brought to the world from countach to murcielago which have been in assembly line for a decade and have brought fame and fortune to the company than any other car in the automobile world. I know this car had been released way back in 2011 but it is still new and bold & beautiful for me to write a review about this car...<br />
Lamborghini released some limited edition cars like Reventon and Estoque but they did not bring them enough success as the Aventador... but the design is taken from reventon but the design is the most aerodyanmic in the world..<br />
Numerous awards have been given to this cars .....like<br />
TOP GEARS'S Hypercar of the year<br />
Best car in the Middle east auto show...etc<br />
I think everyone watches top gear and them giving Aventador hypercar of the year is just a small chocolate...to them.<br />

Sony Electronic for many years have been developing and giving competitions to other mobile giants like Apple and Samsung but have been unsuccessful due to their cheap plastic quality phones and less features as compared to Apple or Samsung, but their previous top model phone Xperia Shad excellent features like 1gb ram ,bravia engine screen and that too at less cost but still it did not stand to their expectations but with the Z i think they might have a breakthrough for what they are expecting for.. Expecting a release in march 2013 its price is untold.<br />

It has full screen 1080p screen and is 5" in height. It has appox 440 pi density.. And a new great thing has brought is scratch,dust,water resistant phone ...It is a great evolutionary thing brought by sony, it has been in other phones but a high end phone with dust & water resistant is great. So u might now not worry your phone getting dropped in the bathroom or in drinking glass or getting wet in rain or sneezing at it...but u can freely display it without any tension or worry.. but it will last only for 30 minutes..It is enough right 30 minutes in water or getting wet is good....And it has the highest front facing camera 2.2 MP it also has unbreakable glass. A high quality phone will have a Quad core processor and this has a S4 snapdragon with 2gb ram its huge. As sony has other products like T.Vs etc it can also connect with it called ONE-TOUCH mirroring in which u have to touch your phone to your bravia remote and u can pop your pics,video with Ur friends and family.The xperia Z is thinner , slightly longer about the same width as S3<span style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; line-height: 15px;">.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scientists have discovered that a barred spiral galaxy located 212 million light-years from the Earth is the largest-known spiral, measuring five times the size of our Milky Way galaxy.</span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using archival data from NASA’s Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) mission, scientists found that measuring tip-to-tip across its two outsized spiral arms, NGC 6872 spans more than 522,000 light-years, making it more than five times the size of our Milky Way galaxy.</span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Without GALEX’s ability to detect the ultraviolet light of the youngest, hottest stars, we would never have recognised the full extent of this intriguing system,” lead scientist Rafael Eufrasio, a research assistant at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Centre in Greenbelt said in a statement.</span><br />
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The galaxy’s unusual size and appearance stem from its interaction with a much smaller disk galaxy named IC 4970, which has only about one-fifth the mass of NGC 6872.</span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The odd couple is located 212 million light-years from Earth in the southern constellation Pavo.</span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Astronomers think large galaxies, including our own, grew through mergers and acquisitions. Intriguingly, the gravitational interaction of NGC 6872 and IC 4970 may have done the opposite, spawning what may develop into a new small galaxy.</span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a39; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The north-eastern arm of NGC 6872 is the most disturbed and is rippling with star formation, but at its far end, visible only in the ultraviolet, is an object that appears to be a tidal dwarf galaxy similar to those seen in other interacting systems,” said team member Duilia de Mello.</span></div>

REVIEW</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This game is really fun to play as he can shapeshift and assume other peoples identities and can consume then for their memories . Equiped with unparralled new powers players will gradually build a arsenal of gentic as well as deadly biological weapons that come out of ur body and the abilities to run,glide,kill and consume will entertain u in a very horrific manner!!u can do all the things that u dream of ..in this game and the game provides excellent graphic and is like a never ending game but it consumes time but is worth it!!!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey guys welcome to txhster blog. This is my first post on the blog after my previous blog "carsmaniac" which i talked abt cars and presented lastest news and infos abt the trends in the car world..but tday i am gonna talk abt the latest Electronic Arts release </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"NEED FOR SPEED : MOST WANTED 2"</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Electronic Arts have been on downslide for a couple of years in the terms of Need for Speed Franchise.. the games released such as Need for Speed : The Run(2011) & Need for speed : shift 2 Unleashed(2011) have great graphics but are really boring as Shift 2 is rally based racing game u might like it in the beginning but you might get extremly bored as u might not be able to clear the xps required to enter the next level !!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Therefore the new game released <b>Need for Speed : Most wanted 2 </b>will bring glory to Electronic Arts which its previous predecessor Need for Speed : most wanted (2005) brought to it. It was a global glory or concurrence to other games which were not even present !!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So how is this game afterall???? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">U might get to know by urself when u play it...For those of u who havent played this game i'll help u in telling what is the Game about and the special thing which all cars are present.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span id="goog_1409452736"></span><span id="goog_1409452737"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most interesting thing about the game is the cars involved . Cars like Porshe 918 concept, Pagani Huayra, Koeinsegg Agera r, Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, Mclaren MP4-12C, Mercedes benz SLS AMG, Ariel ATOM, BAC MONO and last bust not the least my favourite car in the entire series and in the world The Lamborghini Aventador. Its the best car in terms of handling in the entire game, but if u want speed and top speed go for the Bugatti veyron super sport. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The game consist of 10 blacklist instead of 15 in the previous most wanted game. There is no story of any blacklist and cars will be hidden around the city which u need to spot out when u r riding ...in short it is a open world racing.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will get a car with no upgrades already, you will have to race for the upgrades required and earn it ...when u get the required xp or points whatever it is the blackist number opens and u can race with it..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You have a lot of options in terms of </span><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nitrous</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Handling</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Body </span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tires</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chasis</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Transmission</span></i></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But no option on handling. If there was a option on handling upgrades Bugatti Veyron Supersport would be the best can on the planet as well as in the game as the car reaches its top speed in seconds but if a sharp turn comes around u might bang it on the wall as the cars handling is poor..U might think of pulling the Hand brakes but sorry no use is turns around if u use it as it is in top speed..U also have jumps around the corners or on the bridges which u might like to jump ur cars up up and uppppp......another great thing about the game is that when u get busted no car is impounded or money is taking get busted u come out just like that</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All through the game is a very much thumbs up from my side and 1 thing more it get better if u play it online competing with other need for speed freaks!!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So a very much liking from my side and a salute to EA for making this game different from previous need for speed series... GOOD BYE!!!!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
