'Home Alone' Star Macaulay Culkin Death Hoax Goes Viral: Actor Reportedly Passed Away on Sunday

"Home Alone" star Macaulay Culkin is the newest star to fall victim to a death hoax. A Facebook post claimed that the 33-year-old actor, who rose to fame with "Home Alone" passed away on Sunday.

 "At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (April 20, 2014), our beloved actor Macaulay Culkin passed away. Macaulay Culkin was born on August 26, 1980 in New York. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page," the post that went viral said. 

It received more than a million hits, after which Culkin's spokesperson came to fore and debunked fake death rumors of the star.

The spokesperson told the fans that Culkin is very much alive, reported UPI

Culkin become a household name in 90's when he portrayed the character of Kevin McCallister in Home Alone Part 1 and Part 2. His adorable antics in the film literally attracted people to the theaters. Culkin gained more fame when he appeared in  "Richie Rich", "My Girl", and "The Nutcracker."

While he earned massive amount of money during his stint in Hollywood, he had a disturbed childhood. Culkin told the New York Magazine in 2000 that his father was a dominating figure.

"My father was always, you know, abusive, but it didn't get really, really, really bad until later on."

He also revealed that his father never let him take a break from work .

"I just remember the exact point when I was growing a little more tired -- during The Good Son. I had already done one or two things that year, and I just said to Kit, 'Listen, I'm really getting tired and I'm not at school as much as I'd like to be; I really need some time off.' He said, 'Yeah, sure,' and the next thing I knew I was on the next set doing the next thing, and it just kind of clicked in my brain: Okay. There's basically nothing I can do to make this stop, " Culkin explained. 

Culkin dated Mila Kunis from 2002 to 2010.

Happy to have saved the match for India, says delighted Binny

July 14:

Having answered his critics with a match-saving 78, Stuart Binny expressed his pride and happiness on getting India out of a sticky situation in his debut Test.

"I was a bit disappointed with the way it went in the first innings. I did the hard work for the first 10-15 minutes - which is the most crucial phase for a batsman - and then played a loose shot to get out. So today I just wanted to go in there and spend as much time in the middle as I could," Binny told bcci.Tv at the end of the match.

"The ball was reversing and wicket started doing a bit especially with the new ball. There are not many players, who get a chance to save the Test for their country on their debut. I did and I am really happy that I took it," the burly Karnataka all-rounder said.

Binny admitted that the Trent Bridge wicket didn't suit his style of bowling but he was desperate to make amends with the willow.

"The wicket didn't suit my style of bowling and I had to understand and accept that quickly. I was told that a Test match lasts five days that so I will be required to play a part at some point.

"So, I went in to bat with a very positive mindset. I knew that if I survived the first 30 minutes, the wicket would ease out. I went with the mindset of playing out balls instead of scoring runs. When you get to 25, that's when you realize, okay, a Test fifty is here for the taking," said the 30-year-old son of current national selector Roger Binny.

Binny however didn't agree that the team management misread the wicket which was a dead track.

"I don't think we misread it. It was a hard wicket but there wasn't much bounce. Even the English guys were surprised at how it played out. When we were batting, it felt like we were batting in India. It was a funny wicket.

Germany will earn $35 million thanks to its World Cup championship

To the victors go the spoils and 1 percent of FIFA's 2014 World Cup revenue.

After Germany defeated Argentina in extra time of the final of the World Cup, not only did it get to hoist an 18-carat trophy, but it also hauled off a cool $35 million.

It’s fitting that the largest prize in World Cup history was distributed in the most expensive World Cup in history. Spain, winner of the 2010 World Cup, received $30 million.

That money is the only thing Germany gets to keep (except for bragging rights) since the expensive trophy stays with FIFA and teams are given a cheaper replica.

[Related: Germany overcomes valient Argentine effort to win fourth World Cup title]

Argentina received $25 million as the runner-up, which is up from $24 million in 2010. The Netherlands earned $20 million for finishing third and Brazil earned $18 million for fourth place.

The United States earned $9 million for making it to the Round of 16. That money will go to each country’s soccer federation and it is at the discretion of each nation how to dole out the winnings.

That prize money is in addition to the $1.5 million each nation was given prior to the tournament for training, travel and other expenses. FIFA also has a pool $70 million to pay to the various clubs that employ the 736 club players in the tournament, which works out to $2,800 per player per day that the player was in the World Cup.

Here’s a look at the prize money distribution for the 2014 FIFA World Cup:

Group Stage (16 eliminated teams): $8 million each
Round of 16 (eight losers): $9 million each
Quarterfinals (four losers): $14 million each
Fourth place: $18 million
Third place:: $20 million
Runner-up: $24 million
Winner: $35 million

If it sounds like a lot of money is being dished out for the five-week tournament, it pales in comparison to what FIFA stands to make, which could be upwards of $4.5 billion thanks to broadcasting revenue, licensing, sponsorships and hospitality.

It’s also just a drop in the bucket for players such as Lionel Messi, who just inked a deal with Barcelona for more than $50 million per year.

It’s unclear how much Brazil, the host country, will take away in addition to its prize money, but it won’t be nearly as much as FIFA’s windfall and won’t come close to covering the estimated $14 billion in costs to build and renovate 12 stadiums, upgrade the country's infrastructure and pay for security.

And there’s probably not enough money in the world to make the country feel better about its last two games, which the Brazilians lost by a combined 10-1.

Samsung unveils Galaxy K zoom with advanced camera for social media users

Samsung Electronics Co. on Tuesday introduced a
smartphone that has a camera with advanced features,
aimed at meeting the needs of active social media users
who frequently upload pictures on sites including
Facebook and Twitter.

The Galaxy K zoom, which the company describes as a
camera-specialised smartphone, had its global launch in
Singapore.

It features a timer that allows users to take selfies, or
photos of themselves, with the back camera using a
timer.

Most smartphones allow users to take selfies with the
camera at the front of the phone, which typically has a
lower resolution.

The phone features a new retracting lens that offers 10
times optical zoom, enabling users to take pictures of
distant objects by zooming into them using lenses, and
an optical image stabiliser that helps to produce sharper
photos by adjusting for shakes that may be caused
while holding the device.

The pricing and availability of the Galaxy K zoom were
not immediately announced.

The camera is designed for users of social media such
as Facebook and Twitter “to record every precious
moment in their daily lives,” said Sun Hong Lim, Senior
Vice-president of Mobile Communications Business at
Samsung Electronics.

The phone’s camera has a larger, 20.7 mega pixel BSI
CMOS sensor, which is bigger and allows more light to
be captured, making it ideal for low-light photography,
the company said.

The launch of the Galaxy K zoom follows the recent
introduction of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S5 model and
comes as the South Korean company seeks to
consolidate its position as the world’s largest maker of
smartphones.

Mobile phone makers shipped more than 1 billion
smartphones in 2013, according to the International Data
Corporation’s Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone
Tracker.

Samsung’s share of the market exceeded 30 per cent,
followed by Apple with over 15 per cent share.
The company’s Galaxy K zoom is equipped with a Xenon
flaw and has five optimised filter settings.

“With the introduction of the Galaxy K zoom, Samsung
continues to demonstrate our commitment to creating
products that meet the diverse demands of our
consumers,” Mr. Lim said in a statement issued by
Samsung. Users can capture and share their most
important everyday moments, he said.

The phone is 20.2 millimetres thin and weighs 200
grams. It records video at 60 frames per second.
Samsung said it has tied up with Twitter to provide the
Vine app pre-loaded on the K zoom. This will allow
Twitter users to upload photos.

The company also unveiled audio products branded
Samsung Level, which consists of three types of
headphones and a Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker.

Results of the first-year intermediate examinations will be declared on Monday at 3 p.m. To check your marks, call 1800-425-1110 from any phone. Results can also be checked on

Earlier Secretary, Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) said that first year Intermediate results are expected to be released by last week of April and Intermediate second year results will be declared by first week of May. A review meeting was held by Advisor to Governor of Andhra Pradesh, Salahuddin Ahmed, the Secretary, BIE said

The Terrible Consequences of not Praying Salah

Bismillah. Today, insha’Allah we’re
going to touch on a slightly different
angle on the concept of salah. Now,
you know that salah is fard–the 5x
daily prayers–and that the reward of
doing so is great, and the sin of doing
so are terrible. Hellfire, punishment on
the Day of Judgment, punishment in
this life, all these things are but
possibilities.

But let’s take a look at a slightly
different angle: scholars. What’s the
position of the scholars on someone
who doesn’t pray?

The position of all four madhaahib–
Maliki, Shafi’ee, Hanbali, and Hanafi–
with no difference of opinion–is that a
person who does not pray, ever, is not
a Muslim.

Think about that. Not a Muslim. Not
anyone who has a chance of Paradise.
Why ? There’s a very explicit hadith on
this–the hadith of the Prophet
(sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: The
difference between us and them
(Kuffar/Non-Muslims) is that of salaah
so whoever abandons salaah certainly
commits kufr.(Tirmidhi, kitab ul Iman,
Declared Sahih by Imam Tirmidhi, Imam
Nasai and Allama Iraqi, Minhaaj ul
Muslimeen pg.80)

This is a very direct, explicit hadith–
salaah is the contract, part of the
mithaaq, the original contract, with
Allah that all humans took. And this is
only one of the explicit ahadith like
this.

What’s more, it was inconceivable in
the time of the sahaba that someone
could be a “Muslim” and not pray. It
just doesn’t make sense.
Scared yet?

No? Well, there’s more. What is the
position of the scholars of Islam on
someone who doesn’t pray, today, who
lives in that now-extinct species of
Islamic State? Then what happens?
Again, there’s no difference of opinion
on this.

The position of a Muslim in an Islamic
state, who doesn’t pray, is to be jailed.
And once they’re in jail, they should
be advised. That what they’re doing is
haram. That prayer is so, so important.
That it is a major sin. That it just takes
five minutes, five times a day–less
than one sitcom.

And if they don’t repent? Keep
advising them for a day. Then, a
second day. Then, a third day.
And if they still don’t repent?
Then they are executed.

So think about that, next time you feel
like skipping a salah. Honestly, it just
takes five minutes. Don’t let your lame
excuses side-track you. Just do it

Action Items:

* Make Tawbah . Whether you pray
regularly or not, if you’ve missed
prayers in your past, make wudoo and
pray two rakaahs of tawbah for that.
And be optimistic–insha’Allah Allah
WILL forgive you!

* Hit the Minimum 5x/day . If you don’t
pray your 5x daily prayers, start. Right
now. Today. Praying is difficult at first,
but over time, it becomes easier. Pick
up prayers one at a time, whatever you
can do, until you’re at least covering
the daliy five consistently.

* Add Sunnah/Nafl Prayers . If you
already have your five covered,
alhamdulillah, start adding the
sunnahs–starting with the two before
Fajr, and with salaat-ul-Witr. Those
are the best. Then gradually add more.
Add Tahajjud, if you’re already praying
all the sunnah prayers. The sunnahs
are like a shield that protect your fard
prayers; if you always pray them, in the
worst case, you might skip one or
two–but if you only pray fard, those
are the first to go.

* Reflect on the Reward and the
Punishment .
If you didn’t know, for
every fard action, Allah rewards you.
Think about THAT. You’re actually
getting some ajr! And reflect on the
punishment of not praying, ever–
capital. YOU might be praying, but you
probably know someone in your family
(near or extended), who doesn’t.
Advise them gently.

* Read. Islam QA has a great eBook on
33 ways to increase khushoo’ in salah.
When you get khushoo, you actually
enjoy salah! So read it, and apply one
or two of those techniques daily.
* Make Du’a . ‘Aishah said: “You will
not even get a shoelace without the
permission of Allah.” So ask Allah to
help you pray regularly and in the best
way.

We ask Allah to make us among the
musalleen, those who pray regularly
and on time and have their prayers
accepted. This, if this is the only good
thing you do with your life, is a great
success that many people the world
over have not achieved.

Note: We’re NOT saying that you
should go around killing people.
Nobody’s going to be executed for not
praying–there IS no Islamic state in
our time. But if there was, and if a
Muslim living there didn’t pray, then
the punishment is capital. It’s
something to think and reflect over–
the seriousness of salaah. It IS the
contract between us and Allah.

How to remove chewing gum from hairs?

If sticky, icky chewing gum ever gets stuck in your
hair, don't spring for the scissors on the very first
instant. Having gum helplessly stuck in your hair may
not be so helpless after all. In many cases, products
with an oil base can remarkably loosen the gum from
your hair, allowing it to be gently pulled away with a
comb, paper towel, or clean rag.

Try some of the following remedies if you are unable
to loosen the gum from your hair on your own.
Some products to use when attempting to remove gum
from hair:

Ice - Perhaps the easiest, cleanest and least expensive
method of all is putting a few ice cubes in a plastic
bag and rubbing them onto the gum until it freezes.
Once the gum has hardened completely, it should
break away easily, releasing itself from the hair.
Baby oil, canola oil or olive oil - Armed with a fine-
tooth comb and one of these oils, one should be able
to release the gum with a little time and concentration.
The oil helps to break down the gum, easily allowing
it to be taken from the hair. First massage oil onto the
area stuck to the gum, allowing it to set for about 20
minutes. Then gently apply a comb to the area. If the
gum does not come away easily, repeat this process.
Peanut butter - (NOTE: Do not use this method on
anyone with a peanut allergy!) Peanut butter may be
rubbed through hair thoroughly, and left to saturate
that section of hair for about 15 minutes. Follow this
procedure by a gentle brushing or combing. Next, rinse
or shampoo hair as usual, with warm water. This
should help the gum to come free in chunks.

Mayonnaiseor butter - These products have also been
known to loosen gum from hair in a pinch. Massage a
dab of one or the other onto the trouble spot and
gently comb the gum out of the hair.

Shortening - Shortening is another product that
generally releases gum from hair. Take a small dab and
massage it onto the affected area. Gum should then
slip out of the hair effortlessly once the shortening has
loosened it.

Cooking oil or cooking spray - Also attempt cooking
oil or cooking spray if shortening is unavailable.
Hairspray - By spritzing on some hairspray, gum
should easily peel away from hair.

Baking soda and water mixture - A mixture of baking
soda and water massaged onto problem area should
resolve the situation by loosening the gum until it can
be brushed out.

Regular lighter fluid - Regular lighter fluid will also
remove gum from hair and just about anything,
including clothing, carpets, upholstery, etc., by merely
dissolving it. Those who choose to apply this method
for removal must be especially careful as lighter fluid
should not be handled lightly.

Regular hair conditioners - Massage conditioner into
hair and comb, rinsing the comb while bits of the gum
start to come out of the hair. This process is a bit
more tedious than the others, so use this method as a
backup plan.

Egg whites - Using egg whites and a fine-tooth comb
should help loosen gum from hair and cause it to
dissolve a bit. First massage the egg whites into the
afflicted area, then comb gently and rinse. Repeat until
no longer necessary.

Finally, if you are uncomfortable trying these other
options, consult your hair care provider for a
professional opinion.

The peanut butter method and the ice cube method
have both been rated as highly effective techniques for
removing gum from one's hair. Special precautions
should be taken, however, to ensure that the child or
subject with gum stuck in his or her hair does not
have a peanut allergy.

Warnings about using these methods to remove gum
from hair:

The stress of these products, chemicals and methods
on hair may cause some minimal breakage as the gum
is being removed from hair.

Do not mix chemicals when attempting to remove gum
from hair.
Lighter fluid should be used only under close adult
supervision, if necessary.

Oil may remain in hair even after gum has been
removed, for several days and/or several shampoos.
Dish washing detergent may aid in removing the oil
from one's hair.

Tips for preventing gum from sticking in hair again:
Do not fall asleep with gum in your mouth.
Do not play with gum while chewing it.

Halal slaughter in scientific way

My dear brothers and sisters. We have a very wrong understanding about the meaning of halal slaughter. I was asked by a non Muslim professor once what makes a meat halal and i didn't know an explanation and was embarrassed but gave a vague answer saying that we say the prayer before we cut, that makes it halal. I came back and went through Hadiths and articles written by Muslim scholars and finally came to an understanding. I am going to explain it to you in a scientific way so that Insha Allah in the future if anyone asks you the same question u will be prepared to give this answer.

WHAT MAKES A MEAT HALAL OR HARAM?

Ans: it is the undrained blood that contaminates the meat makes it haram.
What these non-muslim butchers do is completely chop of the head as a result of which the connection between the brain and the heart is lost hence the heart stops pumping/beating almost instantaneously therefore there is no driving force to push the blood out of the body. As a result of this the blood stagnates in the veins and arteries and contaminates the meat. Scientifically it is proven that blood is one of the best culture mediums to grow bacteria. Consuming meat contaminated with blood makes humans more vulnerable to infections and joint pains. Joint pains because of high uric acid levels in blood.

SO WHAT IS HALAL WAY?

Ans: in halal way we do not chop off the head completely but instead we cut the main vein (jugular vein) in the neck first. (This vein contains venous blood in high pressure and it directly connects to the atrium of the heart without any interference). This method of slaughtering preserves the connection between the brain and the heart which allows neural transmissions to be delivered. This keeps the heart pumping/beating until all the blood is drained off completely from every vein and artery in the body making the meat pure and thus halal.
SUBHANALLAH.

SO THE NEXT QUESTION IS WHAT MAKES FISH HALAL EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT SLAUGHTERED THIS WAY?

Ans: Allah SWT has created fish in such a way that the moment it is removed from water the entire blood in its body is redirected to a part called the epiglottis in its mouth which turns bright red thus indicating that the blood is drained and the meat is pure.
SUBHANALLAH.

WhatsApp to add voice calls after Facebook acquisition

WhatsApp will add free voice-call services for its 450 million customers later this year, laying down a new challenge totelecom network operators just days after Facebook Inc scooped it up for $19 billion.

The text-based messaging service aims to let users make calls by the second quarter, expanding its appeal to help it hit a billion users, WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum said at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Monday.

Buying WhatsApp has cemented Facebook's involvement in messaging, which for many people is their earliest experience with the mobile Internet. Adding voice services moves the social network into another core function on a smartphone.

On Monday, Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg defended the price paid for a messaging service with negligible revenue. He argued that rival services such as South Korea's KakaoTalk and Naver's LINE are already "monetizing" at a rate of $2 to $3 in revenue per user per year, despite being in the early stages of growth.

Media reports put WhatsApp's revenue at about $20 million in 2013.

"I actually think that by itself it's worth more than 19 billion," Zuckerberg told the Mobile World Congress. "Even just independently, I think it's a good bet."

"By being a part of Facebook, it makes it so they can focus for the next five years or so purely on adding more people."

WhatsApp's move into voice calls is unlikely to sit well with telecoms carriers.

WhatsApp and its rivals, like KakaoTalk, China's WeChat, and Viber, have won overtelecom operators' customers in recent years by offering a free option to text messaging. Telecom providers globally generated revenue of about $120 billion from text messaging last year, according to market researcher Ovum.

Adding free calls threatens another telecom revenue source, which has been declining anyway as carriers' tweak tariffs to focus on mobile data instead of calls.

WITH, NOT AGAINST

Since the advent a decade ago of Skype's voice over Internet service, which Microsoft Corp has acquired, and the rise of Internet service providers like Google Inc, telecom bosses have gotten used to facing challengers whose services piggyback on their networks. But carriers complain that the rivals are not subject to the same national regulations.

Mats Granryd, the CEO of Swedish mobile operator Tele2, said he was happy to partner with the likes of WhatsApp because of the additional data traffic they generate. But he shared the concerns of other network operators that they must operate under strict national regulations that Internet companies are not subject to.

"They (Internet firms) need to be regulated a little bit more and we need to be regulated a little bit less," said Jo Lunder, who heads Russian mobile network operator VimpelCom.

Vodafone CEO Vittorio Colao said he did not understand how such an important acquisition as the Facebook-WhatsApp deal could go unchallenged at a time when European network operators were facing intense regulatory scrutiny.

"These types of deal are a clear indication that the world is changing and the regulations don't fit anymore," Colao said on the sidelines of the conference.

Both Facebook and WhatsApp CEOs have cast themselves as partners to telecoms network operators.

On Monday, Koum also announced a partnership with E-Plus, the German subsidiary of Dutch group KPN, under which it will launch a WhatsApp-branded mobile service inGermany.

The European Parliament is set to vote on Monday night on a package of proposed telecoms market reforms which among other provisions would restrict the ability of carriers to charge internet companies like Facebook to give them an enhanced service in handling their network traffic.
