Arashiyama’s Bamboo Forest

In the Arashiyama (嵐山) district of Kyoto, Japan, is the jaw-dropping Sagano Bamboo Grove. The forest was the setting of Japanese novelist and poet Lady Murasaki Shikibu’s acclaimed novel, "The Tale of Genji." There is a walking path that cuts through the bamboo grove and makes for a photogenic trek as light filters through the stalks. The bamboo in the grove is still used to manufacture cups, boxes, baskets and mats in the area.

To view more photos and videos of the bamboo forest, be sure to visit the 竹林の小径 (Kitasaga Bamboo Grove) location page.

Tehran’s Azadi Tower (برج آزادی)

For more photos and videos of the Azadi Tower, check out the Azadi Square | میدان آزادی location page.

The Azadi Tower (برج آزادی) sits at the west entrance to Tehran, Iran, and is the city’s most iconic structure. Composed of eight thousand blocks of white marble stone quarried in the Esfahan region, the tower’s construction was financed by a group of five hundred Iranian industrialists. Construction finished in 1971 to commemorate the 2,500th anniversary of the Persian Empire. Originally the structure was named Shahyad Tower (شهیاد آریامهر), meaning “Kings’ Memorial,” but was dubbed Azadi or “Freedom” (برج آزادی) after the Iranian Revolution of 1979.

The tower sits in the middle of Tehran’s famous Azadi Square, the site of many of the demonstrations leading up to the Iranian Revolution on 12 December 1979. With the rich history that surrounds it, the Azadi Tower is part of a greater cultural complex including a museum underneath the structure.

ROMCOM OF THE WEEK - BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY

Bridget - a lunatic spinster (as the society calls it - if you are single in your 30s, listen loud sad music, watch romantic movies and are all by yourself on new year’s eve) tries to get her life, weight, smoking, drinking in control to find the perfect man.

However, she eventually figures out - the love your life doesn’t consider weight, verbal diarrhea, and many other flaws. The perfect man will love you for who you are - Someone exactly like you. Just as you are. Not thinner, Not cleverer, Not with slightly bigger breasts and a slightly smaller nose. Someone just like you.

Facebook not showing All updates of your Friends ? Here's how you can solve the problem

Wondering why you didn't see that image/status from your friend on your News Feed ? Here's the answer:

When the Facebook Smart Lists & Timeline were introduced, these changes affected the News Feed too. Facebook now comes with an option to view 3 types of updates from your friends:

All Updates

Most Updates

Only Important Updates

All Updates - This will be selected automatically if you have listed the friend in your "Close Friends" list. "All Updates" will show you every single update from your friend, including the third-party posts they like/comment, their game updates, etc. Clearly, this is nothing but a headache if your friend is too active on Facebook.

Most Updates - This is selected By Default for all your friends(Except ofcourse your Close Friends) and is the main Culprit why you miss some of the updates from your friends.

Only Important - This includes life-events, photos and popular statuses. Popular Status is a status from your friend which has got many likes and/or comments.

There are 2 ways to solve this problem:

Include the friend in your "Close Friends" List.   

Alternative way is: a) Goto your friend's profile.  b) Hover your mouse on "Friends" (near Message). This will generate a Drop-down menu under "Friends" c) Click on "Settings" from the Drop Down Menu d) Select the type of updates(All Updates/Most Updates/Only Important)  you wish to see.

Anything you want

"This is your one chance at life, you can have ANYTHING you want, and what is worth doing.. Most people don’t know why they’re doing, and what they’re doing.. They imitate others, go with the flow, and follow paths without making their own.

They spend decades in pursuit of something that someone convinced them they should want, without realizing that it won’t make them happy.

A life worth living starts with knowing your personal philosophy of what makes you happy and what’s worth doing"
