Five types of people you're likely tounfriend on Facebook.

The most likely person to be unfriended on Facebook is a high school acquaintance, a new study has found. Scientists have found new insight into the most common kind of 'friend' who is unfriended on Facebook, as well as the unfriended person's emotional response to such a situation. Researchers from the University of Colorado Denver found that the top five kinds of people respondents unfriended were: High School friends, other, friend of a friend, work friends and common interest friend. "The most common reason for unfriending someone from high school is that the person posted polarising comments often about religion or politics," said Christopher Sibona, a doctoral student in the Computer Science and Information Systems programme at the CU Denver Business School. "The other big reason for unfriending was frequent, uninteresting posts," said Sibona. Sibona's first study examined 'context collapse and unfriending behaviours' on Facebook and his second looked at 'the emotional response to being unfriended.' Both studies were based on a survey of 1,077 people conducted on Twitter. "We found that people often unfriend co-workers for their actions in the real world rather than anything they post on Facebook," Sibona said. One reason he believes high school friends are top targets for unfriending is that their political and religious beliefs may not have been as strong when they were younger. And if those beliefs have grown more strident over time, it becomes easier to offend others. "Your high school friends may not know your current political or religious beliefs and you may be quite vocal about them," Sibona said. "And one thing about social media is that online disagreements escalate much more quickly," Sibona said. The second study looked at the emotional impact of being unfriended. Sibona found a range of emotions connected to unfriending, from being bothered to being amused. The most common responses to being unfriended were: 'I was surprised', 'It bothered me', 'I was amused' and 'I felt sad'. "The strongest predictor is how close you were at the peak of your friendship when the unfriending happened," said Sibona.

10 Facts about Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal reigns supreme as one of the most recognisable and iconic images of India. Its delicate minarets, gracefully curved archways and ice cream scoop domes have led many to make the pilgrimage to stand at its entrance and wonder at its grandeur. The wonder isn’t only found in its construction. Here stands a building that is as rich in history as it is in opulent marble. To help better appreciate this history, we have compiled a list of the 10 most interesting facts about Taj Mahal.

1. It is estimated to have taken more than 22,000 people to build this impressive building including labourers, painters, stonecutters, embroidery artists, and many others.
2. According to legend it is believed that Emperor Shah Jahan had planned to construct another Taj Mahal in black marble on the other side of the river but the war with his sons interrupted his plans.
3. The Taj Mahal takes on different colouring at different times of the day, from a pinkish hue in the morning, milky white in the evening and golden at night when lit by the moon. They say the changing colour resembles the changing mood of females - in particular the Emperor's queen.
4. Built in memory of the Emperors third and most favourite wife Mumtāz Mahal, the Taj Mahal took 17 years to be completed.
5. It is said that the death so crushed the Emperor that all his hair and beard were said to have grown snow white within just a few months.
6. The four sides of the Taj Mahal are perfectly identical creating an astonishingly mirrored image on each side. It uses the principles of self-replicating geometry and symmetry of architectural elements.
7. The Taj Mahal is surrounded by significant gardens and a number of other buildings including  a mosque and guest houses which make up the 17 hectares of land within the complex walls.
8. The full height of the Taj Mahal is 171 metres (561 feet).
9. More than 1,000 elephants were employed to transport the construction materials used to build the Taj.
10. Many precious stones were ripped off from its walls by the British during the Indian rebellion of 1857.

A visit to the Taj Mahal is easily included as part of a Golden Triangle tour of North India, or as part of a longer India Tour. The Taj Mahal is found in Agra which is approximately two hours from Delhi by train, so it can easily be arranged as a day trip.

Boo...Cutest Dog In The World.

Boo, described as "The World's Cutest Dog," though not being an official title, is a Pomeranian that became an Internet sensation. Known for his short haircut, he has a popular Facebook page and is the subject of two photo books.  As of March 2014, Boo has over 11 million Likes on Facebook.
Boo belongs to a San Francisco based Facebook executive who created a Facebook page for the dog with a statement "My name is Boo. I am a dog. Life is good." He became popular in October 2010 after singer Ke$ha sent a tweet that she had a new boyfriend, linking to the page, and Khloé Kardashian called him the "cutest dog on the planet".
Chronicle Books, noticing that Boo had 5 million Facebook fans at the time, approached the owner to write a picture book. In August 2011,Boo: The Life of the World's Cutest Dog was published and written by his owner under pen name J.H. Lee. The book was eventually published in ten languages. A second book followed, Boo: Little Dog in the Big City, as well as a calendar and plans for a cut-out book and additional children's books. His merchandise includes a Gund stuffed animal.
Boo was appointed a "spokesdog" for Virgin America airline, which featured photos of him in an airplane along with advice for people traveling with pets. In April 2012, Boo was the subject of a death hoax after #RIPBOO appeared on Facebook. Tweets followed as Gizmodo writer Sam Biddle tweeted Boo had died. It was later confirmed by The Chronicle Book staff that Boo was well and alive. In July 2012, Boo was named the Official Pet Liaison of Virgin America.
Mike Isaac of All Things Digital outed Boo's owner as a Facebook employee in August 2012.

WTF... Narendra Modi Admits He Is Married.

Narendra Modi, the Hindu nationalist who is frontrunner to become India's next prime minister, has publicly stated for the first time that he is married.
He made the declaration in election papers filed this week, having long avoided questions on his personal life.
Modi has campaigned as the standard bearer of the opposition Bharatiya Janata party (BJP), which polls show will win the biggest chunk of parliamentary seats but fall short of a majority in the five-week election that started on Monday.
The chief minister of the western state of Gujarat is a solitary figure who has little contact with his family and entered politics through a grassroots Hindu organisation that prizes celibacy. He rarely gives interviews and little is known about his private life.
India's ruling Congress party has repeatedly called for Modi to disclose his marital status, following local reports in recent years that he had an arranged marriage at the age of 17 to a woman he soon deserted but never officially divorced. Critics say the episode exposes his poor attitude to women.
In election papers filed on Wednesday to run for a seat in Gujarat's Vadodara constituency, Modi wrote the name Jashodaben in a mandatory column regarding his marital status. He had left the column blank on previous occasions, including in the last Gujarat state election in 2012.
In Gujarati, the formal term "ben" is often attached to the end of women's names and "bhai" is used for men.
Jashoda Chiman Modi, now a retired schoolteacher, lives frugally on a monthly pension of 14,000 rupees ($232), according to an interview she gave to the Indian Express newspaper in February. She said Modi had left her after three years of marriage, during which time they spent about three months together, and they parted amicably.
Modi wrote "not known" in the affidavit as to further information on his wife, such as the details of her income and assets.
Modi has based his high-octane election campaign on vows to rescue India from its slowest economic growth in a decade and create jobs for its booming young population.
He told a biographer recently that he "actually enjoys loneliness" and has said that because he has no children he is more likely to be a clean politician.
"I've no familial ties. Who would I ever try to benefit through corruption?" he told a recent rally.
Modi's older brother Som said in a statement issued by the party's Gujarat wing on Thursday: "Narendra was married to Jashodaben Chiman Modi at a very young age by our parents, but it was only a formal ritual as Narendra left the house in those days itself."
Women are an increasingly important voter block in India, making up 48% of the electorate this year, compared with 38% when such data was first collected in 1957. The poor treatment of women in India has become a political issue after the gang-rape and murder of a student on a bus in Delhi in 2012.
Rahul Gandhi, the scion of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty that leads Congress, has made vows to support India's minorities and its women as central tenets of his election campaign.
In a country that places huge social value on marriage, neither Gandhi nor Modi have wives with them on the campaign trail. Gandhi is a bachelor who has shown little interest in getting married.
