THE VOICE KIDS. Who among Darlene, Darren, Juan Karlos, and Lyca will win the competition?

MANILA, Philippines - From hundreds of kids who auditioned, it's down to 4, and they are set to sing their hearts out during the finals weekend of The Voice Kids on Saturday, July 26, and Sunday July 27.

For the youngsters, it's been a busy week of rehearsals for the grand finale, so let's get to know the four contestants from the teams of Lea Salonga, Bamboo, and Sarah Geronimo who will battle it out in the competition.


Lyca Gairanod, 9 years old is from Team Sarah. Hailing from Cavite, Lyca wowed the audience with her rendition of "Pangarap na Bituin," during the semifinals. Will she win the competition?

Darlene Vibares, 10 years old from Antipolo City, is a member of Team Lea. A first-timer in singing contests, Darlene’s vocal chops have impressed the judges, but will her powerful voice be enough to win the title?

Juan Karlos Labajo, 13 years old, is the oldest among the final 4 and is from Team Bamboo. During the blind auditions, he sang "Grow Old With You," which wowed the judges. But will his versatility in singing classic songs be enough to win the competition?

All four finalists will perform Saturday July 26, with the winner to be announced on Sunday July 27. Voting mechanics will be announced during the show.

Daniel Geale vs Gennady Golovkin at Madison Square Garden - World Title About

THE most feared man in boxing, Gennady Golovkin, proved far too strong for Australia’s Daniel Geale, winning by third-round TKO to retain his world middleweight crown.

Fighting at the holy grail of boxing, Madison Square Garden, Geale found it impossible to stop the runaway champion.

Golovkin collected Geale with a right hand overhand bomb that would have knocked plenty of boxers clean out, sending Geale to the canvas.

The Australian rose to his feet but was absolutely rattled, with the referee opting to end the fight.

Cut around the eye in the opening round, Geale toiled hard with movement and speed but the freight train that is the power-punching Golovkin was simply too strong, earning his 17th straight knockout win.

The middleweight world champion known as “GGG” knocked Geale down with big shots in the the second and third round, with Geale unable to continue despite rising to his feet.

Golovkin will now aim for a super fight with WBC champion Miguel Cotto and seems destined to become a brilliant champion, such is his poise and power inside the ring.

Geale can hold his head high. His footwork and movement to survive three rounds with Golovkin was classy and highly skillful, but unfortunately the Australian was outclassed.

Geale will leave New York to return home to Australia tomorrow.

Golovkin’s professional record moves to 30 wins (27 knockouts) while Geale’s record drops to 30 wins (16 KOs) and three losses.

KARACHI: After the success of Pakistani drama series ‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai’, Fawad khan has now become one of the household names among Pakistani as well as Indian audience.

Pakistani actor/model Fawad Khan is now ready to make his bollywood debut alongside the stunning Sonam kapoor in ‘Khoobsurat’.
Khoobsurat team has recently launched motion poster of a movie which shows some sizzling chemistry between Bollywood’s quintessential fashionista Sonam Kapoor and Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan.

According to media sources, “Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan’s crackling chemistry looks absolutely adorable! Khoobsurat looks like a story about a happy-go-lucky girl next door meeting the prim and proper Prince Charming and things getting exciting. Sonam is the royal misfit and Fawad most rightly the Prince Charming”.

The teaser video shows Sonam planting a kiss on her onscreen beau Fawad’s cheek.

No doubt, Fawad Khan is a proclaimed model in Pakistan and a very talented individual. Fawad’s talent has no boundaries, diversifying from singing to acting.

According to Fawad the movie “Khoobsurat” was the ideal platform to make his debut in Bollywood Industry and we all know that there is a huge difference in playing lead role in Drama Serial and Movies, making it challenging from him to cop up with it. 

People from both of the countries have really high expectations from Fawad Khan because now his fan following is not just restricted to Pakistan but India has a lot of love for this new artist in the industry.

He has been facing criticism from some Pakistani fans for working in Bollywood film ‘Khoobsurat’, says he does not pay attention to such things, Indian media reported. Replying to the criticism Fawad says “The people who you are talking about are very few.

There will be people who will criticise… they are entitled to their opinion. Art knows no culture and creed. As an actor I would like to explore myself.

I do feel bad but I choose to ignore it. I think to pay attention to it is unnecessary,” Fawad told reporters at the trailer launch of ‘Khoobsurat’.

Divergent 2014 DVDs and Downloads: Divergent, Unforgiven and more

Divergent

It is still fairly unorthodox for a major blockbuster's online release to precede its arrival on DVD. If you're going to try it out, however, it may as well be on a film aimed at an audience that probably ranks DVDs just below 7in singles on the quaintness scale. Most post-teen viewers are unlikely to feel the full, scowling impact of Divergent (eOne, 12), the latest would-be franchise to spring from a hit series of young adult novels, which is available to download on Monday, and on DVD in mid-August.
The film, with its elaborately constructed metaphor for pressured adolescent self-identification, and its earnestly humourless take on same, is set in a dystopian future. Humanity is divided into tribes named things such as Amity and Abnegation, the members of which are not expected to boast more than their allocated virtue. Naturally, our multi-hued heroine Tris (Shailene Woodley) fits into no such convenient box and is reassigned to the outlying Divergent caste, whereupon her quest begins, for what we never quite find out, since this lengthy film is all sequel-building setup and no payoff.
What it lacks is the sense of immediate social peril that makes the Hunger Games films engaging; what it has is Woodley, an increasingly sparky and committed actress who seems divergent from the film itself.
Russell CroweBrutish and buzz-cut: Russell Crowe in a scene from Darren Aronofsky's Noah. Photograph: Niko Tavernise/AP
There's ample abnegation of a more hessian-clad variety in Darren Aronofsky's Noah (Paramount, 12), an impressive misfire that recasts the biblical ark-builder as a severe environmentalist of indistinct faith and potentially destructive allegiance to his higher calling. There's a crazed intelligence to its theological questioning; ditto Russell Crowe's concentrated bottling of Noah's manifold ambiguities in brutish, buzz-cut form. Where it falters, unexpectedly for an Aronofsky film, is in the visual execution. Bar one extraordinary animated time-lapse sequence that daringly fuses evolutionist and creationist theory, the film is a menagerie of murk, burying the production designer's grandest gestures beneath sooty cinematography and uneven effects; Noah's lunkish quarry of Transformers-like fallen angels seems a particular failure of vision.
Not challenging himself nearly as much as Aronofsky, and narrowly getting away with it, is Roman Polanski, whose marginal stage-based chamber comedy Venus in Fur (Artificial Eye, 15) is more fun thanCarnage, thanks mostly to the fearless efforts of his wife, Emmanuelle Seigner, as a power-hungry actress possessing her director (not Polanski this time, but Mathieu Amalric) via the mother of all auditions. The role was originated on Broadway by a far younger actress, Nina Arianda, making this a case of productive miscasting: Seigner's age gives the slight play's sadomasochistic dalliances greater urgency.
We Are the Best!
Humane and heart-swelling: We Are The Best! finds Swedish director Lukas Moodysson in fine form
File it in the inessential curiosities folder, alongside Lee Sang-il's Unforgiven (Warner, 15), a faithful, gracefully shot reimagination ofClint Eastwood's swansong western as a Meiji-era samurai drama. The robes fit surprisingly well, and the action rattles along nicely, but Eastwood's film was made by its elegiac, self-addressing sense of directorial purpose. This is just a handsome distraction. Plenty of those in Chris Mason Johnson's well-meaning Test (Peccadillo, 15), an early-Aids-crisis flashback centred on Bronski Beat-listening dancers in San Francisco. The dancing is arresting, the period detail oddly ersatz.
One for the inessential on all counts folder is A Long Way Down, an excruciatingly tone-deaf adaptation of Nick Hornby's already iffy novelabout suicide-club bonding, and already a formidable candidate for the year's most objectionable film. Awkwardly meshing black comedy with sitcom-style hugging and healing, it squanders Toni Collette's best efforts and actively revels in Imogen Poots's worst.
After that, the week's standout release comes as all the more welcome a tonic. Lukas Moodysson's knowingly titled We Are the Best!(Metrodome, 15) is a return to humane, heart-swelling form for the Swedish auteur that comes in a cheerfully unassuming package: a nostalgic adolescent comedy following the misadventures of a gangly all-girl punk trio in 1980s suburban Stockholm. Dizzy period kitsch and endearingly inept tunes abound, sometimes at once, as in the girls' infectious protest song Brezhnev and Reagan Fuck Off, but there's a nuanced appreciation of nascent female assertiveness, of rebellion both sincere and uncertain, amid all the high jinks. It's certainly a more rewarding study of divergent teen identity than, well, you know.

    Commonwealth Games 2014: James Magnussen makes 100m freestyle statement

    Commonwealth Games: James Magnussen makes 100m freestyle statement ahead of Cameron McEvoy


    James Magnussen spearheaded an Australian triumvirate into the men's 100-metre freestyle semi-finals, leading rival Cameron McEvoy by nearly a second after a storming heat.

    Magnussen clocked a time of 48.47 seconds to top the 16 semi-finalists, ahead of McEvoy (49.46), while Tommaso D'Orsogna finished sixth overall with a time of 49.73.

    "I am enjoying this week. The whole team is and it is showing in our results," Magnussen told Channel 10.
    "I think it is a fast pool, it is a great crowd and good atmosphere. I don't see any reason why I went so quick.

    "I probably worked harder on my mental preparation than physical. It is better for quality of life outside of the pool.

    "I am feeling more confident in myself now. Hopefully that will transfer at this meet into the pool."
    Australia's Daniel Fox broke his own world record to lay a definitive marker ahead of the men's 200m freestyle S14 finals, finishing well ahead of the qualifying pack.

    I am feeling more confident in myself now. Hopefully that will transfer at this meet into the pool.
    James Magnussen

    Fox clocked 1:57.16 in the heats, ahead of compatriots Mitchell Kilduff (2:01.17, second overall) and Josh Alford (2:03.99, fifth overall).

    In the women's 50m butterfly heats, Brittany Elmslie qualified second fastest for the semi-finals with a time 26.18 seconds behind England's Halsall (25.64).

    Alicia Coutts (26.43) came fourth overall, ahead of ninth-placed compatriot Maddie Groves (26.74) to ensure three Australian places in the top 16.

    Josh Beaver and Ben Treffers led the Australian charge in the men's 50m backstroke heats, finishing in a tie for second overall behind Englishman Chris Walker-Hebborn (25.12), sharing a time of 25.28 seconds.
    Mitch Larkin was slightly behind with a time of 25.53 seconds in seventh overall.

    Mitch Pratt was the fastest Australian in the 200m butterfly heats, finishing fourth overall with a time of 1:57.95.

    Pratt will be joined by Daniel Tranter (1:58.30, sixth overall) and Grant Irvine (1:58.39, seventh) in a field including South African Olympic gold medallist Chad le Clos, who qualified second fastest (1:57.46).
    Taylor McKeown was third-fastest overall in the women's 200m breaststroke heats, qualifying for the final with a time of 2:26.38.

    She was joined by Australia's Sally Hunter (2:26.69, fourth overall) and Tessa Wallace (2:27.77, sixth overall).

    LG G3 Full Detail Review The year's best innovations undermined by one fatal flaw

    LG is readying the local release of its best smartphone to date, the G3, right when hysteria for the Galaxy S5 has tired. Innovations include a 1440p screen, a laser autofocus camera and worthwhile software add-ons, but is the G3 good enough to push LG out from under Samsung's shadow?

    Raising the bar in design


    Every part of the G3 looks to be pushing the absolute limits of what is technically possible for a smartphone. Simple styling brings this to the forefront.

    Up until now the HTC One (M8) was our darling looker of 2014


    Double tap the Gorilla Glass and a 5.5in screen powers. It’s the lack of bezel that captures our attention; no other smartphone has managed to cut the fat so savagely.

    Flipping the smartphone reveals the LG’s fat-cutting method of shifting buttons to the rear. A removable back cover is studded by power and volume buttons. Placement is below a high resolution camera and adjacent to a dual-LED flash.

    A hairline finish on the faux metal cover accentuates the smartphone’s ergonomic curve, which proves key in keeping the G3 phablet as comfortable in the hand as its 5in competition.

    Up until now the HTC One (M8) was our darling looker of 2014. The G3 might not have the One (M8) beat on materials, but the combination of a bigger screen, thinner bezel and brushed body is enough to sway our opinion: the G3 is the best looking smartphone to launch locally in 2014.

    None


    Note: The LG G3 goes on sale in Australia on 4 August. The unit reviewed by Good Gear Guide was provided by online retailer UniqueMobiles, who is currently selling the LG G3. This review will be updated when GGG receives a local G3 for review.

    Tomorrow’s 1440p screen, today


    No other smartphone has launched in Australia with a 2560x1440 resolution display. The G3’s 5.5in display packs 534 pixels-per-inch, which far exceeds the 432 pixels-per-inch (ppi) delivered by Samsung’s Galaxy S5, the 441ppi of HTC’s One (M8) and the 326ppi of Apple’s iPhone 5S.
    LG has leapfrogged leader Samsung in the display department


    Technically the rich screen of the G3 has four times the pixels of a high-definition television. All multimedia, whether it’s zooming in on a high resolution photo or watching a compatible 1440p movie, is richer when it’s watched on the G3.

    A 5.5in screen classifies the G3 as a phablet, but the smartphone’s fine bezels ensure it is no taller than the 5in HTC One (M8). LG integrating a display of this calibre in its G3 represents the company leapfrogging Samsung in the display department.

    None

    A likeable Android overlay


    For all of the G3’s innovation and hardware, the flagship could’ve been spoiled if the software hadn’t matured. LG has fitted the current Android 4.4 KitKat operating system with an overlay closer to Android’s design language. Circular shapes are prominently featured, applications are colour coded and there’s a fashionable flatness to the iconography.

    Connectivity is top notch with the G3 packing 4G, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, Miracast and a microUSB SlimPort.

    This is yet another way LG caters to its customers’ needs while asking of them less


    Several additions have been made to LG’s rendition of Android. Standouts include knock-code and, although it may seem redundant, an intelligible keyboard.

    Typically entering a password and unlocking your smartphone requires two separate steps. Knock code combines two steps into one by recognising a patterned and unlocking the smartphone simultaneously. The patterned tap can be done across the whole screen or over a fraction of it; no matter, the smartphone will be unlocked provided the pattern is the same.

    The task manager of the G3 is one of our favourites. It displays thumbnails of all running applications and they can be cleared at the press of a button

    None


    LG’s keyboard earns a mention for its intuition. Swiping left or right over the spacebar grants you control over the cursor for simple editing, while the settings menu makes it possible to resize the height of the keyboard.

    There’s a tact to the way the G3 handles incoming text messages. Rather than necessitating the messaging app to be opened mid-way through whatever you’re doing, incoming messages pop-up on a fraction of the screen with the added option of inputting text. This is yet another way LG caters to its customers’ needs while asking of them less.

    Our only gripe with the G3’s software is the colour scheme. Some colours fail to take advantage of the vibrant screen and leave the interface looking less attractive than the colouring adopted by HTC’s Sense UI. As far as gripes are concerned, this one is an easy trade off for the many improvements.

    Click over for hardware, camera, battery life and the final thought

    Powerful hardware, but at what cost?


    Beating inside the LG G3 is a 2.5GHz quad-core CPU, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. Prop the rear cover open for access to a microSD slot compatible with a 128GB card and a removable 3000 milliamp-hour battery. Charging has been eased with the inclusion of a wireless charging pad — a supporting Qi standard charger is needed — found lining the back cover.

    Here lies the down point in an otherwise glowing review; the one reason why some people shouldn’t commit to the LG G3


    Here lies the down point in an otherwise glowing review; the one reason why some people shouldn’t commit to the LG G3. A 3000 milliamp battery in today’s climate is competitive, but that screen — that resolution rich and luminous affair that puts the G3 a step ahead of its rivals — heavily taxes the battery. Over the course of a week the Good Gear Guide test G3, provided by online retailer UniqueMobile, struggled to hold charge for one day.

    LG’s senior marketing manager, Brad Reed, previously told Good Gear Guide the higher resolution screen demands approximately 20 percent more battery life than the equivalent Full HD panel. Reed added LG had offset this through software magic.

    Over the course of a week we tested the G3 with the ‘battery saver’ mode both disabled and enabled. We toggled between the most efficient settings and the most demanding. The G3 was our primary device for the week and handled our calls, texting and emailing; our web browsing and social networking, and; some video consumption and music playback. We would describe our use throughout the week as moderate to heavy.
    Our highest recorded battery life reached a commendable 22 hours, but the promising one-time result is undermined by an average battery life of 12 hours. (We hit 9 hours on a few occassions.)

    None


    The battery saver mode will only deliver results to users who flippantly leave the screen brightness really high and have superfluous functions, such as Bluetooth and GPS, enabled when not in use. We found it did little to extend the battery life based on our usage patterns.

    The poor battery life delivered by the G3 makes us question whether today’s smartphones are ready for such high resolution screens. The perk is undeniably desirable, but we’d rather a Full HD panel in exchange for not having to charge bi-daily.

    LG pushed out an update during our testing period for “power optimisation”. We hope the company continues to improve the battery life of the G3 in future updates.

    Real photographic innovations, UHD recording


    LG has introduced a worthwhile camera innovation with its G3 flagship. The rear 13 megapixel camera works with an infrared laser in order to improve autofocusing times. The contention is the camera will miss fewer moments by taking quicker photos.
    None


    Point the camera at a scene and multiple points of focus will be marked. A single tap registers the point of focus you’re interested in and takes the photo simultaneously. Capturing high-resolution photos quicker is an improvement we can get behind.

    The camera UI is as attractive as it is easy to use. Only one submenu icon rests on the screen when the laser autofocus is at work. Tapping it will enable a manual tap-to-focus and require the soft shutter key to be tapped when ready. Other points are gained for featuring a pause option during video recording and for never feeling cluttered.

    Using a smartphone is a lot more fun when it’s thinking a step ahead


    Overall camera performance is good enough to rely on the G3 daily. Photos at native resolution are characterised by a negligible amount image noise and little feathering. Colour isn’t as vibrant as the Nokia Lumia 930, but the G3 edges ahead by featuring a clever HDR mode, which will breathe detail into shadowy landscapes when the Nokia Lumia 930 won’t. The higher megapixel count puts it ahead of HTC’s One (M8); however, G3 photos don’t have the same colour vibrancy as Samsung’s 16 megapixel Galaxy S5.

    Videos recorded in Ultra high-definition (UHD) resolution are overall good, bar a few small gripes. Camera aficionados may notice little ghosting and frame jarring when at motion, with an increase in image noise in dimly lit environments.

    Playing the UHD content on the G3’s 1440p screen is a bit of a ‘wow’ moment. Trying to spot an individual pixel when 534 of them are crammed into each inch is a tall order indeed. Only the little signs of image noise in a UHD video ejects us momentarily from the otherwise fantastic experience.

    Endorsing UHD recording is tough, however. A 63 second UHD recording required 227MB of internal storage. Worse yet, the battery dropped approximately 10 percent during 20 minutes of camera usage. A Full HD — or even HD — video remains the resolution we recommend when capturing videos with your smartphone.

    None

    Final thought


    The smartphone flagships from LG and Samsung couldn’t be further apart. The G3 makes simplicity a priority by eliminating redundant steps in how you unlock the phone, take photos and reply to texts. Using a smartphone is a lot more fun when it’s thinking a step ahead.

    Almost everything about the LG flagship represents an improvement. The design and screen put LG in a league of its own, while throwing in a wireless charging pad makes it that much easier to use everyday. Furthermore, LG’s laser autofocus technology brings genuine innovation to the stagnant smartphone camera.
    Unfortunately the G3 is too powerful for its own good. The 3000 milliamp-hour battery isn’t large enough to offset the 1440p display’s hunger. Those with piqued intrigue should consider living with a phone that has half to almost one day battery life. If the sacrifice isn’t too much, then buy the G3.

    Otherwise we have to concede this sore point: LG may have bitten off more than it can chew.

    Curfew clamped in Saharanpur after clashes, Centre rushes 600 paramilitary forces

    Saharanpur, India (July 26, 2014): According to recent reports curfew was imposed in Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh) following a clash that broke out between Sikhs and another community over a plot of land belonging to a Gurudwara Sahib. The clash reportedly broke out today following which curfew was clamped in the area.

    Saharanpur/Lucknow: Around 600 para military force personnel were rushed by the Central government after three persons were killed and 19 others, including policemen, were injured as violent clashes broke out between two communities over a land dispute in Saharanpur on Saturday.

    Following the incident mobs indulged in arson, after which curfew was clamped and shoot-at-sight ordered.

    "Three persons, including traders leader Harish Kochar, Arif and an unidentified person were killed in clashes between the two communities," Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Mukul Goel told.

    Five policemen, city magistrate, and 13 others were injured. A constable Shensar Pal was stated to be in a serious condition in Chandigarh PGI after suffering a bullet injury.

    District Magistrate Sandhya Tiwari and SSP Rajesh Kumar Pandey told the media in Saharanpur this evening that shoot-at-sight order has been issued.

    The decision to sent the para military forces was taken after Home Minister Rajnath Singh spoke to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, official sources said.

    Saharanpur Incident


    Saharanpur Incident

    According to the police the situation went out of control as members from both the communities started pelting stones at each other and set several shops and vehicles on fire.

    Heavy contingent of police force, led by senior officials, reached the spot to bring the situation under control. The police used tear gas shells to quell the irate mob from both the sides. Later, Section 144 had been imposed in the city.


    According to Indian media reports said a land, adjacent to Gurudwara, was seized by another community that hurt the sentiment of people from the other group. The differences further worsened after a local court delivered its verdict in favour of one particular community upsetting the other.

    Singh had asked Yadav to ensure communal harmony in the state in the wake of violence in Saharanpur and offered all help to contain the situation.

    The Home Minister, who is personally monitoring the situation in Uttar Pradesh, had telephoned Yadav and expressed his concern over the violent clashes that broke out between two communities in the Western UP town.

    He had also conveyed to the Chief Minister that the Central government would provide all assistance, including paramilitary forces, to the state government to maintain law and order.

    Police fired rubber bullets to control the situation as mobs went on rampage setting several shops afire.

    Prohibitory orders under section 144 of CrPC have been invoked in the district and curfew has been clamped in six areas, Commissioner, Saharanpur, Tanveer Zafar Ali said.

    Senior administrative and police officials were rushed to the spot to pacify the rival groups.

    DIG STF Deepak Ratan and Bhuvnesh Kumar, who was Commissioner of Saharanpur earlier, have been rushed from Lucknow by helicopter to control the situation, sources said.

    Besides, 18 companies of additional force including eight of PAC, six of CRPF ,two of RAF and two of ITBP have been deployed in the troubled areas, sources said.

    "As per the information received so far, there was a dispute over land between two communities which escalated this morning," Goel said.

    Trouble began when members of one community started construction work at the site in Kutubsher area in the wee hours this morning, which was objected to by the other group.

    Both the sides indulged in heavy brick-batting, arson and opened fire and there were reports of several shops being gutted in the clash, police said.

    Even as curfew has been clamped, sporadic incidents of clashes were reported. The ADG said senior officers were camping in the area.

    Saharanpur is nearly 170 km from national capital Delhi and 560 km from state capital Lucknow. 

    PM Narendra Modi launches portal, MyGov, for citizens to contribute in governance

    NEW DELHI: Prime minister Narendra Modi launched a new online platform — mygov. nic.in — to crowdsource governance ideas from citizens, especially the youth, and enable them to volunteer for specific tasks and projects at the grassroots level, to mark the completion of his first two months in office on Saturday.

    Modi said MyGov is a technology-driven medium that will provide citizens an opportunity to contribute towards good governance, an official statement said.

    The most active contributors on the portal stand a chance to meet the prime minister in person, based on a system of credit points earned by users who complete tasks they volunteer for.

    "Some of the best ideas and suggestions will straightaway reach the prime minister," the portal promised. Stressing that the success of democracy is impossible without participation of the people, the PM launched the initiative which he said would empower citizens to contribute towards "surajya" or good governance.

    Citizens can register on the snazzily designed new government portal and discuss key challenges facing the country as well as volunteer to work on specific projects that are selected from the ideas that come up on the platform.

    The platform has been split it into two halves - Discuss and Do - to enable more focused crowdsourcing and collaboration. Besides allowing users to 'creatively' engage specific government departments, the platform has opened up discussions in six specific areas to begin with — job creation, cleaning the Ganga, boosting girl child education, cleaning India, skill India and digital India. RS Sharma, IT secretary, said citizens can upload documents, case studies, videos and work plans on the platfo ..

    "They can volunteer for various tasks, which would then be reviewed by other members and experts," he said. Once the tasks are approved by experts, they can be shared with other members and worked on. The government is also working on a mobile phone application for mygov.nic.in. "While on the move, citizens will have the flexibility to take pictures from mobile and upload on the forum, report in-context problems and issues," Sharma said.

    GMC Introduces 2015 Sierra All Terrain HD

    DETROIT – GMC today introduced the 2015 Sierra All Terrain HD, a refined, off-road-inspired execution of the brand’s capability that blends exclusive design features with the versatility of 4WD. It goes on sale this fall.

    “The new 2015 GMC Sierra HD lineup helps customers tackle tough jobs more comfortably, and with the new All Terrain HD, they can do it with greater style,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of GMC Sales and Marketing. “Equally comfortable whether it’s a night on the town or traversing a remote job site, it has all the capability that customers demand from a GMC heavy-duty truck on the job.”

    The new Sierra All Terrain HD is available on 2500HD and 3500HD double cab and crew cab models, and is offered with SLE or SLT trims – all with 4WD, of course, including an electronically controlled transfer case. Also included is the Z71 Off Road package, with Rancho twin-tube shocks, hill descent control and a skid plate.

    Sierra HD’s 6.0L gas engine is standard and the Duramax turbo-diesel is available.

    The All Terrain’s exclusive design features include a chrome surround on the grille, exterior graphics, aluminum underbody shields and unique 18-inch six-spoke chrome cast-aluminum wheels. Twenty-inch chrome aluminum wheels are available on 2500HD, while 3500HD models also include adjustable outside camper mirrors with a chrome cap.

    Additional exterior content includes light-emitting diode signature headlamps, body-color bumpers (chrome bumpers available), chrome mirrors covers and body side moldings and chrome front-lower bumper plate. Inside, a carbon fiber-inspired theme distinguishes the All Terrain from other models and includes the ALL TERRAIN logo on the instrument cluster. A rearview camera system also is standard.

    The new All Terrain HD also includes the latest connectivity technology, including IntelliLink and new OnStar with 4G LTE and standard built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. Enhanced features for IntelliLink include Text Messaging Alerts for smartphone users with Bluetooth profile (M.A.P.), which reads incoming texts through the vehicle’s speakers, and Siri Eyes Free for iPhone iOS 6 and iOS 7 users to enhance connectivity and convenience.

    New OnStar with 4G LTE connection provides a mobile hub for drivers and passengers to stay connected. The hotspot is on whenever the vehicle is on and comes with a three-month/three-gigabyte data trial.
    Additional new and enhanced features introduced on the 2015 Sierra HD lineup include:
    • CornerStep rear bumper, EZ Lift and Lower tailgate, standard locking tailgate, standard upper tie-downs and other features that make cargo handling easier
    • Standard StabiliTrak with Trailer Sway Control on all models
    • Integrated cruise control, auto grade braking and diesel exhaust braking, for greater driving control and reduced brake wear on grades
    • Enhanced cooling airflow, which enables the Duramax turbo diesel and 6.0L gas engine to better maintain full power, even under heavy loads and high ambient temperatures
    • New Duralife™ disc brake rotors that offer up to double the service life (late availability).
    New, heated, power-adjustable trailering mirrors are offered on SLE and SLT – including All Terrain – and Denali (late availability), including segment-first back-up lamps. The large mirrors feature 51 square inches of flat mirror surface positioned over a 24.5-square-inch non-heated or power-adjustable convex mirror surface. A new auxiliary back-up lamp is integrated in each mirror to enhance trailer visibility when backing up, as well as an amber auxiliary clearance lamp. The SLE trailering mirror is black and can be extended and folded manually. The SLT/Denali mirror has a chrome cap and adds a power-folding feature.

    The 2015 Sierra HD also offers segment-exclusive safety features such as forward collision alert, lane departure warning with an active safety seat, and front and rear park assist. Head-curtain and seat-mounted side airbags are standard on 2500HD and available on 3500HD models.

    All models are backed by GMC Pro Grade Protection, with two years of scheduled maintenance – including diesel exhaust fluid – a three-year/36,000-miles bumper-to-bumper warranty and a five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

    GMC
    has manufactured trucks since 1902, with innovation and engineering excellence built into all GMC vehicles.  The brand is evolving to offer more fuel-efficient trucks and crossovers, including the Terrain small SUV and Acadia crossover. GMC’s highest-volume vehicle, the Sierra pickup, is the most powerful light duty pickup on the market, and the first full-size pickup to receive the highest possible five-star Overall Vehicle Score for safety since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration changed its New Car Assessment Program for the 2011 model year.

    Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon Top Segment in Power

    New midsize trucks raise competitive bar

    • Standard engine rated at 200 horsepower, 191 lb-ft of torque
    • 3.6L six-cylinder rated at 305 horsepower, 269 lb-ft of torque
    • Max trailering capacity rated up to 7,000 pounds
    DETROIT – The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon will have the most horsepower in the midsized truck segment when they go on sale this fall.

    The Colorado and Canyon’s available engines provide customers choices to fit their varied lifestyles. The 2.5L I-4 has been rated at 200 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque, while the 3.6L V-6 is rated at 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque.

    The Colorado and Canyon will also provide class-leading maximum trailering capabilities, with the capacity to tow up to 7,000 pounds when properly equipped. That’s more than enough to take a truck full of friends, gear in the bed, and a trailer full of toys to your favorite weekend adventure.

    Each engine features direct injection and variable valve timing to make the most of power and efficiency. Both engines are based on proven engine designs found throughout the General Motors’ family, but are optimized for the demands of truck use with the latest technology for improving performance and efficiency. This includes torque at lower RPMs for better towing power and a more confident feeling while pulling a trailer.

    Both engines are matched to a six-speed automatic transmission; a six-speed manual is available on select extended cab 2WD models. The six-speed automatic is tuned specifically for the truck engines, offering features like auto grade braking and tow/haul mode.

    “Every decision we made considered the wants and needs of midsize truck customers. The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon are engineered to deliver class leading horsepower,” said Anita Burke, vehicle chief engineer for Midsize Trucks. “Not everyone needs the size or the capability of a full-sized pickup. Now customers have a viable option in a smaller package.”

    Class-leading horsepower also comes with efficiency, courtesy of dual-overhead camshafts with variable valve timing, direct injection, and jet-spray piston cooling, while aluminum blocks and forged-steel crankshafts ensure a long-life cycle.


    The Colorado and Canyon will be assembled at GM’s Wentzville, Mo., assembly plant with start of production in fall 2014.

    The 50 unsexiest things about the 50 Shades of Grey trailer

    On Thursday, Universal released the first official trailer for 50 Shades of Grey, the movie based on the unbelievably successful book of the same name by E.L. James. In the film, Jamie Dornan stars as Christian Grey, the BDSM-loving business magnate who woos the virginal Ana Steele (Dakota Johnson) into an erotic relationship. We watched the trailer and, unlike Ms. Steele, we didn’t find ourselves especially turned on. Here’s why:
    bar
    1. Ugly oversized jacket. Knee-length skirt. Grey tights. Ana Steele is an overgrown 9th grader.

    2. The reception area at Grey Enterprises is literally grey. Boring and clinical and not very savvy marketing, guys!


    3. Company logo in Times New Roman. Wes Anderson just died.


    4. The dowdy fit of the receptionist’s business casual suit jacket. Which is also grey.


    5. OVERSIZED CARDIGAN.


    6. The Ikea art on the back wall of Grey’s office.


    7. The gigantic blocks of wood in Grey’s office.


    8. The size of Grey’s office (ok, maybe we’re just jealous).


    9. Sepia? Sepia.


    10. Ana Steele’s “couple of questions,” probably: Why are you looking at me like that? Can you stop looking at me like that?


    11. So, when Christian Grey fades out of focus as he sits down, is Ana passing out? Just overcome by his sexy grey sexiness?


    12. “Really intimidating” is generally how a movie trailer might introduce its menacing antagonist, not primary love interest. Oh wait.


    13. “There’s really not that much to know about me. I mean, look at me: I’m just a working journalist in a major city interviewing a high-powered CEO for a profile that everyone will want to read. Nothing of interest at all going on here. No accomplishments to speak of.”


    14. “I am looking at you, and you are looking like the kind of person who will benefit greatly from sexual validation.”


    15. Wait, hold on, she’s a journalist? Oh heavens, this whole thing is an ethical nightmare.


    16. If the whole world didn’t know any better, by the time that elevator closes, that woman has just met her worst enemy.


    17. Empty earring holes. COME ON, LADY.


    18. Nothing says “I am wooing you” like a ride in your Times New Roman-emblazoned helicopter before some good old fashioned elevator hanky-panky.


    19. “The blinding fluorescent light in this elevator is totally turning me on right now,” said nobody ever.


    20. What’s up with all the elevators, anyway?


    21. Is this movie set in the early ’90s? Because Christian Grey’s hairstyle thinks it is.


    22. I think that’s a DOUBLE Windsor. More evidence that Grey is a time traveller from the ‘90s


    23. A better response to “I exercise control in all things” might be “That must be pretty lonely.”


    24. Halfway in, and we haven’t heard the female lead’s full or first name even once. (I’m pretty sure Jamie Dornan calls her Ms. Deal at one point.)


    25. “I’m incapable of leaving you alone.” Edward “own personal brand of heroin” Cullen strikes again.


    26. “So then don’t.” Oh.


    27. The elevator kiss reveals one big thing: In lieu of sideburns, Christian Grey keeps some wispy bits of hair at his temples. Were no-sideburns a thing in the ’90s?


    28. It also reveals that when you are a man you may physically pounce on an unsuspecting lady while the two of you are alone in an enclosed space, and that this sort of thing is super sexy and will sell millions of books in several different languages.


    29. TOGA PARTY


    30. Let me guess, he’s playing Debussy on that grand piano. Au clair de lune, obv.


    31. The number of girls’ nights happening at movie theatres on Valentine’s Day this year is going to be craaaazy.


    32. Isn’t it also crazy that softcore Twilight fan-fiction can be reasonably and accurately described as a “worldwide phenomenon”? What a time to be alive!


    33. Grey running in the (grey) hoodie, mirroring Dornan’s character in The Fall. Not a good parallel to create here.


    34. Jealous, controlling and violent? What a catch.


    35. Everyone loves getting groped under the table with their parents watching, right? (Not right.)


    36. Here’s an idea: watch this trailer with the sound off.


    37. Christian Grey doesn’t do romance, but he does do top-floor real estate.
    38. The lack of varied facial expression here is stunning. We get fear and menace and, sometimes, flying in a plane.


    39. “I need you. But stay away. But let me show you my torture dungeon. You’ll never understand.”


    40. When do we get to find out about Ana’s newspaper article?


    41. Spoiler alert: In the book of the same name, Christian Grey asks Ana Steele to sign a non-disclosure agreement before they sleep together. In the trailer, he describes himself as a control freak with violent tendencies and commitment issues. Kind of makes American Psycho look like Anne of Green Gables.


    42. And yet, it qualifies as romance.


    43. The ‘90s attack again in the form of those stonewash jeans.


    44. Least bad-ass BDSM blindfold ever.


    45. FYI, this movie involves bondage. Here’s a bondage montage.


    46. And in the middle of this bondage montage (bontage?) is a shot of Christian Grey carrying his unconscious sexy plaything down a hallway. Can’t even make a joke here. It is a horrible juxtaposition.


    47. Greasy bangs are not a good look, Ms. … Deal, not even in the context of kinky sex


    48. Is that a pimple on your chest, Mr. Grey?


    49. Not only did BeyoncĂ© license her first solo hit for use in this trailer, but she created an “exclusive version,” for it. Even gods make mistakes.


    50. The promotional website for 50 Shades of Grey asks you to sign up for “Christian Grey’s internship program” which promises the chance to “Earn badges, share your progress, and climb the intern ladder.” Somebody call HR

    'The Expendables 3' Leaks Online 3 Weeks Ahead Of Release Wallpapers / Photos


    Get ready for the debate over piracy to once again rear its head. Back in 2009, a work print (that turned out to be not all that different than the released version) of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" leaked online almost a month ahead of its release, and whether or not it damaged the box office is still up for debate. Despite Fox claiming the pirated copy was viewed 4.5 million times (which doesn't necessarily mean those people would've bought a ticket instead), the movie still opened to a massive $85 million at the box office and did pretty well overall considering how badly it was reviewed. Did it help, hurt or make no difference? Well get ready to see how this next bit of news is spun.
    A high quality version of "The Expendables 3," apparently ripped from a DVD screener, is now making the rounds of torrent sites, three weeks before the film is slated to hit theatres. And the damage from the movie being out there could be substantial. "The Expendables 2" earned over $300 million worldwide, and this sequel brings an even bigger cast, with bigger stars. Will it affect the box office? Does the average moviegoer care enough (or even know how) to torrent a movie like this?
    Those questions that will surely be answered once the results come in on opening day, but be warned if you're feeling curious about downloading the rip: Nu Image sued 23,000 BitTorrent users in 2011 for downloading "The Expendables," and the authorities eventually caught up with the guy who uploaded 'Wolverine' too, so you might be better off paying for the movie at the multiplex instead of trying to save a few bucks.
    "The Expendables 3" opens on August 15th. Check out the garish Comic-Con posters for the film below.
