It is very easy to style Check-boxes using HTML and CSS3
Below is the code I have used.
CSHTML
HTML Page
CSS3.myCheckbox input {
position: relative;
z-index: -9999;
}
.myCheckbox span {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
display: block;
background: url("link_to_image");
}
.myCheckbox input:checked + span {
background: url("link_to_another_image");
}
HTML<label for="test">Label for my styled "checkbox"</label>
<label class="myCheckbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="test"/>
<span></span>
</label>
Razor View
I tried to style the check-box using same code in CS-HTML i.e. razor view, but it doesn't give expected result. So I modified a code little bit and it resulted in exact output I expected.Below is the code I have used.
CSHTML
<label for="test">Label for my styled "checkbox"</label>
<label class="myCheckbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="test"/>
<span></span>
</label>
CSS3
<style type="text/css">

Akshay Kumar has worked with Tony i.e. Anthony D'Souza in Blue
(2009) and BOSS (2013). Recently his movie Azhar, starring Emraan Hashmi released
and it was also an average fare just like the previous two. Akshay was the one
who gave break to Tony in Bollywood and to help him further he accepted to work
in his Boss.
Recently, in a press conference of movie 'One Night Stand',
starring Sunny Leone and Tanuj Virwani, the director of movie and wife of Tony,
Jasmine D’Souza after being asked, the actor she would love to direct, within
no time she replied, Akshay Kumar.
She had all praises for Khiladi Kumar. This is what she said
about Akshay paaji:
"If I have to work with, by far Akshay Sir is one
person that I would give my right arm for. Because that man has stood by us,
that man has supported us, which is such a departure from what people in
Bollywood or life in Bollywood is like. He, for no selfish reason or no selfish
gain has stood by us, thick and thin, for the last decade and never fletched. I
treat him like God. You go to a temple, you pray and your wishes are granted. I
go tell him things and my wishes are granted. So to me he is in that position.
If he tells me tomorrow, ‘Jasmine uth ja, mere liye ye film kar, mein tujhe
paise nahi de raha hoon’, I’ll be there."
Hats-off to Jasmine for giving so much gratitude to Akshay
and remembering him for all the good things he has done for her family! And
hats-off to Akshay sir for being 'Bade Dilwala'.
Akshay Kumar's Remake Of 'Kaththi' To Revolve Around Water Scarcity
By Unknown - 8:25 PM
Akshay Kumar, who had teamed up with South director AR Murugadoss for action-thriller Holiday, in which he played an Army officer, might work in the remake of Kaththi, which was also directed Murugadoss.
The original film revolved around farmer suicides as a result of corporate encroachment, but the remake, which will be titled Ikka, will revolve around scarcity of water and how companies making aerated drinks are tapping into free water and using it to expand their soft drink businesses. Akshay will probably have a double role in the film, which will be directed by Jagan, an associate of Murugadoss.
Akshay will be next seen playing a Naval officer in Rustom, which also stars Ileana D'Cruz and Esha Gupta.

The New Year has begun on an upbeat note for Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar. The actor, who has been mixing sensible and sensitive cinema with routine entertainers, has received a huge round of applause for the trailer of 'Airlift.' Based on the teaser that came a few weeks ago, a market study showed that the movie's first day collections are reportedly tracking higher than his last few releases. If you are wondering what the reason is, then watch the trailer. It has the right doses of heroism and patriotism that immediately touch a chord with all of us who are proud of our country.
Directed by Raja Krishna Menon, this edge-of-the-seat thriller, which also stars Nimrat Kaur, is based on a true story of the biggest ever human evacuation in the world that holds a Guinness World Record. On August 2, 1990 when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, 1,70,000 Indians were rendered homeless and bankrupt. There was however, one hero, Ranjit Katyal (Akshay), who risked his own life and that of his family to help evacuate his fellow Indians.
Talking about the response to the trailer, Akshay says, "It's great to see Indians loving films like 'Baby' and 'Gabbar Is Back,' which make us proud of ourselves. In the trailer, when the Indian tricolor goes up, it's not just the audience who gets goose bumps. Even I had the same reaction when I heard the script. It's a heroic and patriotic story, based on true events, which could not have come at a better time than this Republic Day weekend."
Producer Bhushan Kumar is just as excited. He states, "'Airlift' is a story of an unsung hero in a historic event for Indians and we, at T-Series, are extremely proud to produce this film. Akshay was outstanding even in our earlier production, 'Baby.' But in 'Airlift,' he has outdone himself. We would encourage every Indian to watch this film.''

What Is Li-Fi ?
Li-Fi technology is a ground-breaking light-based communication technology, which makes use of light waves instead of radio technology to deliver data. Coined by Prof. Harald Haas,Li-Fi is a subset of optical wireless communications and can be a complement to RF communication, or a replacement in contexts of data broadcasting.It is wireless and uses visible light communication or infra-red and near ultraviolet (instead of radio frequency waves) spectrum, part of optical wireless communications technology, which carries much more information, and has been proposed as a solution to the RF-bandwidth limitations. A complete solution includes an industry led standardization process.
The Technology
The world might eventually have to shift its reliance on Wi-Fi to Li-Fi, an alternative technology that scientists say can reach speeds of 1 Gbps in real-world use — 100 times faster than average Wi-Fi speeds. At those speeds, you could download a high-definition movie in just a few seconds.
Li-Fi transmits data using LED lights, which flicker on and off within nanoseconds, imperceptible to the human eye. It was invented in 2011, and in the lab, has been able to reach a mindblowing 224 Gbps.
Besides Velmenni, several companies have already sprung up to bring Li-Fi to customers, like Oledcomm and pureLiFi, the latter established by Li-Fi's inventor himself, Harald Haas.
Both companies offer kits to early adopters to install Li-Fi networks in the office and home, and pureLiFi claims speeds of 10 Mbps with his current offering.
Benefits Of Li-Fi
- Higher speeds than Wi-Fi.
- 10000 times the frequency spectrum of radio.
- More secure because data cannot be intercepted without a clear line of sight.
- Prevents piggybacking.
- Eliminates neighboring network interference.
- Unimpeded by radio interference.
- Does not create interference in sensitive electronics, making it better for use in environments like hospitals and aircraft.
- By using LiFi in all the lights in and around a building, the technology could enable greater area of coverage than a single WiFi router.
Difference Between Wi-Fi and Li-Fi.
Wi-Fi can strike or penetrate through the wall while Li-Fi is built on light and it cannot penetrate through, therefore its more limited and this has made it more secure from outer smell, people always need faster internet connection, it makes communication easy and efficient. Li-Fi can serve as a multi purpose such as providing LED lightbulbs for home use aswell as creating network connection on devices for communication.But the technology also has its drawbacks - most notably the fact that it cannot be deployed outdoors in direct sunlight, because that would interfere with its signal. (However, this does not work for visible light burning through the outer walls from the sun and direct light.)India’s legendary opening batsman hangs his boots from international cricket and IPL.
After 16 years of a thoroughly entertaining and mesmerising career, Virender Sehwag has decided to retire from international cricket and from the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Sehwag began his India journey in 1999 with an ODI against Pakistan in Mohali, as a middle-order batsman. On his Test debut three years later, on a quick Bloemfontein wicket, he scored a dazzling 105 against the likes of Pollock, Kallis and Ntini.
The watershed moment of his career, however, came in July 2002, in the Lord’s Test, when he was asked to open the batting. He responded with a sparkling 96-ball 84. Thus began Sehwag’s journey of revolutionising the role of opening batsmen in Test cricket.
In his unique style, with a simple approach to batting and incredible hitting skills, Sehwag went on to pile 8586 runs in 104 Test matches at an impressive average of 49.34 and an unheard of strike-rate of 82.23.
The most fascinating aspect of Sehwag’s batting throughout his career was his ability to score massive hundreds without compromising on his stroke-making instincts. His six double centuries – including two triple tons – are the most by an Indian in Test cricket. This is a testament to the fact that what appeared as carefree willow-wielding, was actually the combination of genius and confidence. There was a method to his madness. Behind the flamboyant ball-bashing was a keen cricketing mind at work. This shrewdness came to the fore when he had the ball in his hand.
The hallmark of Sehwag’s genius is how he not only overcame his weaknesses but converted them into his strengths. His minimal footwork could have made him highly susceptible to the dangers of the moving ball. But instead, he used his outstanding hand-eye coordination and balance at the crease to create space for big shots. He saw scoring opportunities where others thought survival. This meant that he could walk in to bat in the most difficult of conditions and make batting look ridiculously easy, like he did during his 195 in Melbourne, 309 in Multan and 201* in Galle, to name a few.
While Sehwag’s exploits in Test cricket will always overshadow his achievements in the shorter formats, his ODI career had its own magical moments. The greatest of them all was his double century against West Indies in Indore, in 2011. He demolished the bowling and the morale of the opposition with an onslaught worth 219 runs. He became the second batsman after Sachin Tendulkar to score a double hundred in an ODI and also overtook his idol to register the highest individual score in the format. In 251 ODIs, Sehwag scored 8273 runs at 35.05.
Sehwag’s numbers alone put him in the legion of legends. But the man’s worth in the cricket world goes much beyond mere numbers. It will be more appropriate to determine his value based on the impact he brought in a game. He evoked fear in the minds of the bowlers, off which his batting partners fed. The starts he gave with the bat instilled belief in the rest of the batting line-up.
The cricket world will remember Virender Sehwag for the joy he brought to those who watched him bat. He entertained us well.

Akshay Kumar Birthday Special : 6 Reasons Why Akshay Kumar Stands Apart From The Crowd
By Unknown - 10:11 PM
Ask what is the one thing that makes Khiladi actor Akshay Kumar stand out of his league and we will say there are many. The self-driven man is a powerhouse when it comes to talent and energy.
We have seen him setting pulses racing with his action scenes, we have seen his comic timing and we have seen him cutting a sorry figure too and amazingly, he is equally good in all of them.
This is what makes him a gem among the lot. He is one ‘Kumar’ in Bollywood, who stands tall in the industry ruled prominently by ‘Khans’ and ‘Kapoors’.
Here, while we wish him loads of happiness and good luck on his birthday, we would like to share why he deserves a special place in Bollywood.
1. Akshay is a fitness freak
At the age of 48, you would not know many men who are both fit and kicking. He is one of them! A knower of many martial arts like taekwondo, Goju-ryu karate, aikido and Shaolin Kung-fu, Akshay Kumar aka Rajeev Bhatia has simply no competition when it comes to action.
2. Akshay is a thorough professional
He is widely applauded for his professionalism by his peers. Be it directors, producers, colleagues or fans, they always get to see him at his best. When on the sets, he prefers being professional and behaving sensibly rather than throwing starry tantrums.
3. Akshay makes a great husband
It’s been 15 years since they fell in love but we still see that spark in the marriage of Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna. Though linked with so many actresses before his marriage, once he was taken, he has become a total family man.
4. A doting father too!
We know how protective Akshay is of his kids! He says he wants to give them a normal childhood and hence keeps them away from all the limelight. If this is not all, then the below picture should suffice, where he manages to take time out from his busy schedule just to play with the kids.
5. Energetic and electric
After more than 150 movies, 500 live shows and counting, Akshay Kumar is still going strong. Whether it’s comedy or action, we love him every way, especially for the energy and zeal that he adds to his scenes.
6. True to the nation as well!
It may not be known that Akshay Kumar was the industry’s highest advance taxpayer for six consecutive years. Once, he even paid Rs 19 crore as advance tax payment.
With Singh is Bliing coming up, we wish our Khiladi actor all the luck in life and a wonderful year ahead.
If govt accepts this recommendation under 7th pay commission,Crores of jobs are likely to open.
By Unknown - 10:39 AM
The Central government is looking forward to recommendation from the seventh pay commission and if it would be implemented, India will have crores of jobs in future. The scheme has been made in purview of the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP’s) vow of delivering employment to masses under their tenure.
Pay commission has kept a new proposal of the tenure of government service. It is kept in front of the government that total tenure of government service would be 33 years or a maximum age of 60.
That means, if a person gets government job at the age of 20, he will be retired at the age of 53 as per the new recommendations.
The salary hike in the seventh pay commission likely will be nearly 15% to 20%.

There are many ways to create an object without new operator :-
1. Using newInstance method of Class class
Eg: Class clas = Class.forName("NewClass");
NewClass obj = (NewClass) clas.newInstance();
- Class.forName() loads the class and to create an object, we need to use newInstance() method of Class class.
2. Using clone() of java.lang.Object
Eg: NewClass obj = new NewClass();
NewClass obj2 = obj.clone();
- Creates copy of an existing object

3. Using Object Deserialization
Eg : ObjectInputStream objStream = new ObjectInputStream(inputStream );
NewClass obj = (NewClass ) inStream.readObject();
4. Using ClassLoader
Eg: getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass("NewClass").newInstance();
5. Using Reflection
Eg: constructor.newInstance() and class.newInstance()
6. Also, it can be created using Factory Method.

You know you’ve done something right if a theatre full of critics and bloggers are clapping in a few scenes, especially when the said theatre is not Gaiety Galaxy and nor is the movie a Salman Khan starrer releasing on Eid. Brothers is exactly that, an entertaining film based on sibling rivalry. From Mahabharat to Deewar, Indians love good old family drama, and Brothers manages to hit the right notes. It’s rather surprising that the film is a remake of a Hollywood movie –Warrior, because this one has all the makings of a desi tearjerker.
The story is rather simple, two step-brothers face each other in a fight due to circumstances that were never really in their hands. Their father both binds them as well as seperates them due to his issues with alcoholism and his ill-treatment of their mother. The chemistry between Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra is awesome.
Talking about the heroes of this film, I remembered this thing Priyam (from Team MissMalini) often says about Akshay Kumar, that he’s a “taste the thunder” type of man. I never really got the phrase until I saw him get down and dirty on the streets of Bombay with tattooed arms and six-pack abs. This man can do anything, and by anything I mean, making my jaw drop with some of his stunts in the ring. Giving him great support is Sidharth Malhotra who looks every bit of the ‘bad boy‘ his character Monty is required to be. From his complete badassery (the part where he doesn’t wait for his opponent to signal defeat because he knows he has knocked him out) to his emotional scenes with his father, Sid has done a great job.
Jackie Shroff is aptly cast as Akshay and Sidharth’s troubled father, but I think he could have toned it down a little. Jacqueline Fernandez looks gorgeous and has done a decent job in the few scenes she has. Shefali Shah is brilliant in her cameo. Seriously, why doesn’t this woman do more movies? The supporting cast lead by Kiran Kumar, Ashutosh Rana, Raj Zutshi,Khulbhushan Kharbanda and Kavi Shastri is alright.
The music of Brothers is decent and thankfully no one is lip-syncing, except Kareena Kapoor in an unrequired item number. Bebo looks gorgeous, but her song really makes no difference to the movie. There are the ‘typical‘ emotional scenes the director Karan Malhotra has peppered the film with, some of which, made the audience groan a little. But because of a fantastic confrontation scene between Jackie and Shefali a few minutes before the interval, I forgive him for using the same old tropes Bollywood uses to stir emotions in the audience’s heart. The fight choreography is intense and as I said before, some of the stunts are jaw-dropping. The action and Akshay are the USPs of the movie, but I’ll give credit to Sidharth for summing up whatBrothers is all about in one line – Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham with Mixed Martial Arts.
Don’t miss it!

Your crazy friend visited hills
station. He posted video proof on Facebook and you liked it. Your neighbor
posted a photo of herself geeked-out as Lady Thor at Comic-Con. Pics on FB
or it didn’t happen. Well, by Loki, it did and you shared it.
If you’re
like the rest of us, you share your friends' posts often. You like, you
comment, you interact like crazy on Facebook, sometimes all day, almost as if
it’s a knee-jerk reaction. But you’re not quite sure why.
Why??? Why
do you do what you do on Facebook, you complicated lifeforms?
Well,
research predictably suggests that clicking “like,” the superficial currency of
online human connection, makes you feel involved. Like you care. And you bet Facebook knows this,
and, up until recently, it
cashed-in on what you like and more, big-time.
Liking
this, that and the other thing on Facebook gives the impression -- to you
and to others -- that you’re an attentive, engaged individual. You’re a good
person who openly displays empathy toward people in your friend circle,
deepening relationships with every like. At least it seems that way in your
activity log.
Or maybe
you’re just too lazy (admit it) to leave a comment. A “like” does the trick
quick, the digital version of an acknowledging nod or a thumbs up. When liking
branded content on Facebook Pages, your motivations are probably more
self-centered, sometimes scoring you a sweet coupon or decent discount.
Selfish? Nah. We just call that smart.
So why else
do we like the heck out of pics, pages and status updates? And what
compels us to comment? Is there a method to our social media madness? Well, lots of people -- marketers, researchers,
psychologists, bloggers, you name it -- seem to think so. There’s no shortage
of theories.
Here’s a
neat and tidy compilation of them, packed conveniently into another insightful
infographic from Entrepreneur contributor and online marketing
expert Neil Patel, co-founder and

If you own a business and you’re on Facebook, it’s worth a good look. Even if
you don’t, if you simply use Facebook for fun, you won’t want to miss it
either.

But Abdul Kalam’s light will guide us to his dream destination: India as a knowledge superpower
Bharat has lost a Ratna, but the light from this jewel will guide us towards A P J Abdul Kalam’s dream destination: India as a knowledge superpower, in the first rank of nations. Our scientist-President — and one who was genuinely loved and admired across the masses — never measured success by material possessions.
For him, the counterpoint to poverty was the wealth of knowledge, in both its scientific and spiritual manifestations. As a hero of our defence programme, he shifted horizons; and as a seer of the spirit, he sought to liberate doctrine from the narrow confines of partisan tension to the transcendental space of harmony.
Every great life is a prism, and we bathe in those rays that find their way to us. His profound idealism was secure because it rested on a foundation of realism.
Every child of deprivation is a realist. Poverty does not encourage illusions. Poverty is a terrible inheritance; a child can be defeated even before he or she has begun to dream.
But Kalamji refused to be defeated by circumstances. As a boy, he had to support his studies by earning money as a newspaper vendor; today, page after page of the same newspapers are filled with his obituary notices.
He said that he would not be presumptuous enough to say that his life could be a role model for anybody; but if some poor child living in an obscure and underprivileged social setting found some solace in the way his destiny had been shaped, it could perhaps help such children liberate themselves from the bondage of illusory backwardness and helplessness.
He is my marg darshak, as well as that of every such child.
His character, commitment and inspirational vision shine through his life. He was unencumbered by ego; flattery left him cold.
He was equally at ease before an audience of suave, globe-trotting ministers and a class of young students. The first thing that struck one about him was that, uniquely, he combined the honesty of a child with the energy of a teenager and the maturity of an adult.
He took little from the world, and gave all he could to society. A man of deep faith, he epitomised the three great virtues of our civilisation: dama, self-restraint; dana, sacrifice; and daya, compassion.
But this persona was powered by the fire of endeavour. His vision for the nation was anchored in freedom, development and strength.
Given our history, freedom had a political context of course; but it also included freedom of the mind and expansion of intellectual space. He wanted India to leap out of the underdeveloped trough and eliminate the curse of poverty through inclusive economic growth.
Wisely, he suggested that politicians spend only 30% of their time on politics, and 70% on development; a suggestion which he often followed up by calling in MPs from a state and discussing the socioeconomic issues of their region with them.
The third pillar, strength, was not born of aggression, but of understanding. An insecure nation will rarely discover the route to prosperity. Strength commands respect. His contributions to our nuclear and space achievements have given India the muscle to be confident of her place in the region and the world.
His memory is best honoured by the creation of new institutions that nurture science and technology, and enable us to find a beneficial equation with the awesome power of nature. Too often, greed makes us predators of our environment.
Kalamji saw poetry in a tree, and energy that could be harnessed in water, wind and sun. We should learn to look at our world through his eyes, and with the same missionary zeal.
Human beings can shape their lives through will, persistence, ability and sheer courage. But we have not been given the right to script where we are born, or how and when we die.
However, if Kalamji had been offered an option, this is how he would perhaps have chosen to say goodbye: on his feet, and in front of a classroom of his beloved students.
As a bachelor, he was childless. But that is wrong. He was a father to every Indian child, teaching, cajoling, urging, exciting, clearing darkness wherever he found it with the radiance of his vision and the passion of his involvement.
He saw the future, and showed the way. As I entered the room where his body lay in state yesterday, I noticed the painting at the entrance that depicted a few lines from an inspirational book he wrote for children, Ignited Minds.
The good that he did will not be interred with his bones, because his children will preserve his memory through their lives and work, and gift it to their children.

HTML Layouts - Using <div> Elements
The div element is a block level element used for grouping HTML elements.The following example uses five div elements to create a multiple column layout, creating the same result as in the previous example:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div id="container" style="width:500px">
<div id="header" style="background-color:#FFA500;">
<h1 style="margin-bottom:0;">Main Title of Web Page</h1></div>
<div id="menu" style="background-color:#FFD700;height:200px;width:100px;float:left;">
<b>Menu</b><br>
HTML<br>
CSS<br>
JavaScript</div>
<div id="content" style="background-color:#EEEEEE;height:200px;width:400px;float:left;">
Content goes here</div>
<div id="footer" style="background-color:#FFA500;clear:both;text-align:center;">

HTML Forms - The Input Element
The most important form element is the <input> element. The <input> element is used to select user information.
An <input> element can vary in many ways, depending on the type attribute. An <input> element can be of type text field, checkbox, password, radio button, submit button, and more.
The most common input types are described below.
Text Fields
<input type="text"> defines a one-line input field that a
user can enter text into:
<form>
First name: <input type="text" name="firstname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname">
</form>
Note: The form itself is not visible. Also note that the default
width of a text field is 20 characters. First name: <input type="text" name="firstname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname">
</form>
Radio Buttons
<input type="radio"> defines a radio button. Radio buttons
let a user select ONLY ONE of a limited number of choices:
<form>
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="male">Male<br>
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="female">Female
</form>
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="male">Male<br>
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="female">Female
</form>
Checkboxes
<input type="checkbox"> defines a checkbox. Checkboxes let a
user select ZERO or MORE options of a limited number of choices.
<form>
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">I have a bike<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Car">I have a car
</form>
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">I have a bike<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Car">I have a car
</form>
Submit Button
<input type="submit"> defines a submit button.A submit button is used to send form data to a server. The data is sent to the page specified in the form's action attribute. The file defined in the action attribute usually does something with the received input:
<form name="input"
action="demo_form_action.asp" method="get">
Username: <input type="text" name="user">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Username: <input type="text" name="user">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Iframe - Set Height and Width
The height and width attributes are used to specify the height and width of
the iframe.The attribute values are specified in pixels by default, but they can also be in percent (like "80%").
Example
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm"
width="200" height="200"></iframe>
HTML Links - The id Attribute
The id attribute can be used to create a bookmark inside an HTML document.Tip: Bookmarks are not displayed in any special way. They are invisible to the reader.
Example
An anchor with an id inside an HTML document:
<a id="tips">Useful Tips Section</a>
Create a link to the "Useful Tips Section" inside the same
document:
<a href="#tips">Visit the Useful Tips
Section</a>
Or, create a link to the "Useful Tips Section" from another page:
<a href=" http://www.rowdyboss.blogspot.com/html_links.htm#tips">
