The error on Friday caused the social network to show a memorial banner on user profiles for people who were still alive, including Mark Zuckerberg.

Despite being very much alive, Facebook users, when logged on to their accounts on Friday afternoon, found their accounts turned to a "memorialized account," strongly suggesting that they are dead to everyone who visits their profile.Users posted status updates to reassure friends and family they were not dead, despite Facebook's message.

The bug which appeared read that “We hope people who love Mark will find comfort in the things others share to remember and celebrate his life.” 

Facebook said that “For a brief period today, a message meant for memorialized profiles was mistakenly posted to other accounts. This was a terrible error that we have now fixed. We are very sorry that this happened and we worked as quickly as possible to fix it.”

The moon doesn’t get much bigger and brighter than this. On Monday, Earthlings will be treated to a so-called supermoon. That’s the closest full moon of the year or every 14 months to be precise.

Monday’s supermoon will be extra super, it will be the closest the moon comes to us in almost 69 years. And it won’t happen again for another 18 years, with the next one projected to occur on Nov. 25, 2034.

NASA says closest approach will occur at 6:21 a.m. EST when the moon comes within 221,523 miles from the center of the Earth to the center of the moon. The Full moon will occur at 8:52 a.m. EST.

NASA planetary geologist Noah Petro is urging everyone to step outside and soak in the view. Prime viewing will be Sunday and Monday nights.

Stargazers were able to catch sight of the last supermoon on Oct. 16. Another supermoon sighting is expected on Dec. 14.

When a full moon makes its closest approach to Earth, it appeared bigger and brighter than usual and is known as a supermoon. According to NASA, a supermoon appears to be between 14 percent and 30 percent brighter than a traditional full moon.

Stargazers got a double celestial treat in late September 2015 when a total lunar eclipse combined with a so-called supermoon.

It was the first time the events have made a twin appearance since 1982, and they won’t again until 2033.

On the night of 8 November, Modi, in a shock announcement, ordered the withdrawal designed to tackle widespread corruption and tax evasion. Modi said that while people could exchange their old notes for new bills at banks or post offices until the end of the year, or deposit them in their accounts, they would no longer be legal tender from midnight the same day.

According to Twitter analytics website Twittercounter, Narendra Modi’s Twitter account (@narendramodi) lost 3,13,312 followers a day after the currency ban announcement was made. However, there was again a big rise in the follower count the very next day; the account (@narendramodi), has over 24.3 million followers on the social platform at present.

On 10 November, the account gained 4,30,128 followers.

In this world, where there was no privacy how did PM Modi managed to keep his plan a complete secret? This was the question that rams through every Indian now. Come on, this is no more secret now.Know all the strategies behind this massive plan.

PM Modi entrusted just three individuals with his grand plan: RBI Governor Urijit Patel, Secretary of Economic Affairs Shaktikanta Das andSecretary of Investments & Currency Dr Saurabh Garg. He held confidential meetings with the trio which went on till late at night.

Not a single minister in the PM’s cabinet was aware of PM Modi’s plan. The RBI stopped printing ₹1000 currency notes 6 months ago. Dr Saurabh Garg was responsible for the printing of the new ₹500 and ₹2000 notes in strict confidence. Dr Garg played a key role in not letting even a whiff of information regarding RBI’s operation be leaked out to the press. A few weeks before the announcement, a circular was issued to all staff advising them not to carry cell phones into cabinet meetings. Moreover, the officials who worked on the demonetisation plan were kept under quarantine. 

“WE JUST GOT SOME INDICATION 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE MEETING STARTED. IT WAS A BOLD STEP BY THE GOVERNMENT. ALL MINISTERS REMAINED IN THE MEETING HALL FROM 6.45PM TO 9PM UNTIL THE PM’S ADDRESS TO THE NATION ENDED.”

In many places we see corporate and other offices built with glass all around the building. Did you ever know the reason behind it?

They say "We're always open and you can see what we are doing, it is for you, there is nothing to hide."

The saying itself makes some sense in this scenario. But I would like to pose a question. Is it really necessary to build buildings out of glass.

In India, it is absolutely NOT. Why?

Usually most of the corporates are multinational and come from the West. Due to their climate and geographical conditions they are more prone to low temperatures. They need warmth, because of that they build buildings covered with glass. In one way it helps in saving the electricity by letting in sufficient sunlight into the building. A glass is a bad conductor of heat. This principle is used to make the buildings warmer.

But the same scenario is different in India and other tropical countries. These countries usually have relatively more temperatures when compared with the Western countries. This makes them a bit warmer on normal days too. In addition to that, the glass makes the buildings even more warmer making it impossible to stay in. To avoid that, we establish cooling systems which needs to run continuously without any break 24x7 all though the year. This increases the carbon footprint which in turn causes a great threat in the form of pollution. So, we better think in a different way to build our corporate offices in the near future.
