Marvel’s new superhero is a teenage Muslim girl- Kamala Khan

By -


Marvel announced their new superhero called Ms. Marvel. She is Kamala Khan, a New Jersy girl, 16 years old, she comes from a Pakistani Muslim family. She is also in comics in which she discovers extraordinary body-morphing powers and follows in the footsteps of her Marvel hero, Captain Marvel.
Marvel's previous heroes such as the X-
men, Wolverine, The Avengers, Spider man and so many others were a huge hit and had and still have a lot of influence in teenage comic readers, and surprisingly some adults. Ms. Marvel is expected to have same influence, but the question i ask is why bring religion into cartoon characters?
This is the first time a muslim character has become a Marvel hero. Ms. Marvel launches in Feb, 2014.

Facebook gives teenagers access to post to the public

Previously, teenagers from the age of 13 -17 were unable to post status upadtes, videos and images that can be seen by the public, restricted to their friends only. Now their posts can go public, not only to their friends, but friends of their friends. This limitation restricted some adverts from reaching the walls of these teenagers. Facebook still included a notification before these teenager accounts post messages, alerting them that their post will be seen publicly. Facebook has over 1.2 billion users worldwide and are up against competitors like Twitter and Google in online marketing. This move by Facebook i believe is to expand their marketing reach. Now products and services for teenegers under that age range can be reached with adverts through Facebook. This is good news for marketers who want to reach young customers on Facebook. Parents will not welcome this change as kids being able to post and receive public content are now exposed to the vulgarity uncensored content...

HOW TO LIMIT NUMBER OF DISPLAYED POSTS IN WORDPRESS

It's totally easy and is almost clearly written in the Wordpress documentation. I will go straight to the point. You will have to know a little bit of PHP. In your themes folder, open the index.php file. In the file you will find this code(without the curly braces): { if ( have_posts() ) }  this code queries your database for posts with the default setting from your Wordpress Dashboard. Just before the code(without the curly braces), input this code to modify the query: { $query = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => 4 ) ); } "You can change the number of posts that suits your design." Then you need to modify further. Change the following....   { if ( have_posts() ) } to { if ( $query-> have_posts() ) } {while ( have_posts() )} to { while ( $query->have_posts() )} {the_post()} to {$query->the_post()}  So that's all you need to do Happy coding :)
