DTN News - INDIA DEFENSE NEWS: IAF May Deploy Additional Sukhoi Squadron At Chabua Base In Assam

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - October 3, 2013: An additional squadron of advanced combat aircraft Sukhoi-30MKI is likely to be stationed at the Indian Air Force’s eastern-most station in view of the strategic importance of the base.   

Sharing the news here, Wing Commander Gaurav Mani Tripathy told journalists yesterday on the eve of the 81st Air Force Day that the Sukhoi-30MKI multi-role fighter plane squadron is used to patrol the skies in the region.  

With the Mig-21 era coming to an end at the station - the last squadron moved out in 2009 - Tripathy said that the base underwent a major renovation and expansion of facilities in preparation for the induction of the Sukhoi-30MKI fighters, which arrived in February 2011.

Speaking about the Su-30MKI, Tripathy said the aircraft was manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) under licence from Russia’s Sukhoi.

He said that the heavy, all-weather, long-range Indian variant of the fighter plane was more advanced than the basic SU-30MK and more capable than those used by China (SU30MKK/MK2) and Malaysia (SU-30MKM).

Is Rekha Not Doing Umrao Jaan Sequel?

Is Rekha Not Doing Umrao Jaan Sequel?

BHGSG News - TORONTO, Canada September 30, 2013: Though director Muzaffar Ali was eager to rope in the veteran actor for the sequel of his 1981 blockbuster, we hear Rekha isn’t too keen to be part of the film

Muzaffar Ali wanted to make a comeback in Bollywood and hence asked his good Javed Siddiqui to the write the screenplay of Umrao Jaan’s sequel. Ali even wanted his original heroine Rekha to do a cameo in the sequel of his 1981 blockbuster which also starred Farooque Shaikh and Naseeruddin Shah. While Rekha’s breathtaking performance in Umrao Jaan earned her the prestigious National Award, the B-town diva, it is believed has turned down the offer to act in Umrao Jaan 2.

Reportedly, the sequel is centered on Rekha’s character who sets out to take revenge from her enemies from the first film. Muzaffar Ali and Javed Siddiqui worked together three decades ago on Umrao Jaan. And while the two have come together once again for the sequel, wethinks if Rekha had accepted the offer, life would have come to full circle for the trio!

DTN News - FACEBOOK: 'The Faces of Facebook' Displays All of Facebook's 1.2 Billion Profile Pics in One Project

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - September 29, 2013: Facebook has over 1.2 billion users, and a new web project from programmer Natalie Rojas has brought them all together as a mosaic of user pics on The Faces of Facebook.

Visually impressive, the site loads up as a supposed view of Facebook's 1.2 billion users. You can select any area of the picture to zoom in for a closer look at clusters of individual profile images, all chronologically ordered, according to Rojas. Hovering over a user's picture will give you their name and "FACE #," representing the order all profiles were created. Clicking a user's picture will even launch their full profile page on Facebook.

Of course, if a profile is marked as private, no information that isn't publicly available is shown here or when following the link to the full profile. "Relax. We're not breaking any Facebook privacy rule because we don't store anyone's private information, pictures or names," Rojas writes.

"We've just found a harmless way to show 1,260,866,093 Facebook profile pictures and organize them in chronological order"

The Faces of Facebook experience is enhanced if you sign in to your Facebook account while visiting. The project will give you the FACE #s for you and your friends, and also point out the areas where you each lie on the overview.

So visit the page and see which of your friends has the longest Facebook tenure. Just understand that none of you have been around longer than Mark Zuckerberg - he is, naturally, FACE #1.
