What is the Main difference between Human and Animal?

Yes.

We got Mind to Think and Make Decision Wisely.

Therefore, we should use our Mind to reach our True potential without a waste of time.

Do not waste this Life but use it well to Bring Happiness to the World.

Pop legend Michael Jackson buried

Friends and family of Michael Jackson have paid their last respects to the singer known as the King of Pop at a funeral ceremony outside Los Angeles.

Dame Elizabeth Taylor, actor Macaulay Culkin and music producer Quincy Jones were among the 200 invited guests.

Gladys Knight sang at the service while civil rights campaigner the Reverend Al Sharpton was one of the speakers.

The ceremony was due to begin at 0200 GMT at Glendale’s Forest Lawn Memorial Park but began more than an hour late.

The delay was caused by the late arrival of the singer’s family, who eventually arrived in a motorcade of 31 vehicles.

Jackson’s brothers – Randy, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon – acted as pallbearers as his gold-plated coffin was removed from a hearse.

All were dressed identically in black suits, with each wearing a solitary white glove – a fashion statement made famous by their legendary sibling.

The singer’s children – Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year-old Prince Michael II – sat in the front row next to his parents, Katherine and Joe Jackson.

Comedian Chris Tucker, producer Berry Gordy and Lisa Marie Presley, Jackson’s ex-wife, also attended.

The service took place after dark in the open air outside Forest Lawn’s Great Mausoleum.

“ His life was lived in the public eye, and now his death has been too ”

It came more than two months after Jackson died of a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs at the age of 50.

Last week Jackson’s death was ruled to be a homicide by the Los Angeles coroner.

The verdict increases the chances of criminal charges being brought, although no-one has been named a suspect.

A statement from the Jackson family said the pop star’s casket was interred at 2143 local time (0443 GMT).

“The Jackson family wishes to once again thank all of Michael’s fans around the world for their generous outpouring of support during this terribly difficult time,” the statement read.

Jackson’s family and mourners attended a post-funeral reception at an Italian restaurant in nearby Pasadena.

Security was tight ahead of the ceremony, with fans and media kept away by a heavy security presence.

Police had cordoned off roads leading to the Forest Lawn site throughout the day.

A live TV feed was provided of the guests arriving, though the footage ceased once the service began.

Jackson, known for such hits as Bad, Thriller and Smooth Criminal, was originally due to be buried on 29 August on what would have been his 51st birthday.

However, the date was pushed back to allow more time for the planning of the ceremony.

Jackson joins a long list of famous stars who have also been buried in the Forest Lawn cemetery.

Screen stars Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn and Clark Gable have all been laid to rest there.

Lisa Marie Presley, 41, married Jackson in 1994. The pair remained close following their divorce 20 months later.

Gladys Knight, 55, who performed a version of the Lord’s Prayer, has been a lifelong friend to the Jackson family.

The Rev Al Sharpton, 54, the Baptist minister, has been supporting the Jackson family in the wake of their bereavement.

Chris Tucker, 37, the US actor and comedian, was a longtime friend of Jackson who is also an acquaintance of his family.

Mila Kunis, the actress, is another friend of the Jackson clan and is the girlfriend of Macaulay Culkin.

Family members led by Jackson’s mother Katherine, 79, and father Joseph, 80, and his brothers and sisters were seen on the scene.

The singer’s three children, Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11 and Blanket, seven, were reported to have written notes to their father which were laid next to his casket.

Notable absentees included Jackson’s ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, 50, who was the biological mother to two of his three children, and singer Diana Ross, 55, one of his closest confidantes.

BIOGRAPHY on Michael Jackson

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009), known as the “King of Pop”, was an American musician and one of the most commercially successful entertainers of all time.

His unique contributions to music and dance, along with a highly publicized personal life, made him a prominent figure in popular culture for four decades.

He started a solo career in 1971, having made his debut in 1964 as a member of The Jackson 5. His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, with four others — Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995) — among the best selling. He popularized several intricate dance moves, such as the robot and the moonwalk.

He is widely credited with having transformed the music video from a promotional tool into an art form, with videos for his songs “Billie Jean”, “Beat It” and “Thriller” making him the first African American artist to amass a strong crossover following on MTV, and has influenced scores of music artists.

Twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, his other achievements feature multiple Guinness World Records — including the “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time” — 13 Grammy Awards, 17 number one singles (including the four as a member of the Jackson 5), and estimated sales between 350 million and 750 million records worldwide.

He was also a notable philanthropist and humanitarian who donated and raised millions of dollars through support of 39 charities and his own Heal the World Foundation.

Jackson’s personal life generated controversy for years. His changing appearance was noticed from the late 1970s and early 1980s, with changes to the shape of his nose and to the color of his skin drawing media publicity.

He was accused in 1993 of child sexual abuse, although no charges were brought. He married twice, first in 1994 and again in 1996, and brought up three children, one born to a surrogate mother.

In 2005, he was tried and acquitted of child molestation allegations. While preparing for the This Is It concert tour in 2009, Jackson died at the age of 50 after suffering from cardiac arrest.

He reportedly had been administered drugs such as propofol and lorazepam, and his death was ruled a homicide by the Los Angeles County coroner. His memorial service was broadcast live around the world, attracting a global audience of up to one billion people.

Jackson was laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California on September 3, 2009 at a private ceremony.
