LONDON — On the eve of their departure for London, the Ravens welcomed back a member of their pass rush as Za'Darius Smith was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
The third-year outside linebacker missed the Week 2 victory over Cleveland after injuring his knee and ankle in the first half of the season opener. It now appears he'll return for Sunday's game against rookie running back Leonard Fournette and the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium.
Smith's return was overshadowed by the absences of five other players, a list headlined by star defensive tackle Brandon Williams as he continues to recover from a foot injury. Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Williams is not dealing with a "long-term" injury, but it remains unclear when he will return to action.
Baltimore's depth in the trenches does ease concerns over Williams' absence as three defensive linemen — Bronson Kaufusi, Willie Henry, and Chris Wormley — have been healthy scratches for the first two games of the 2017 season. With Williams missing the second half of the Browns game, third-year defensive tackle Carl Davis saw 13 snaps in the 24-10 win.
"Those guys want to play, and they are fighting like crazy in practice," Harbaugh said. "It makes our practices better. We have young players that need to get better, and when they get their chance, they need to play well. Carl stepped up and played well last game. We'll see what happens."
Running back Terrance West (calf), wide receiver Michael Campanaro (ankle), tight end Maxx Williams (ankle), and cornerback Jaylen Hill (thigh) were also listed as non-participants in Wednesday's practice. West received only two carries in the second half of the Cleveland game, leading to more opportunities for backup Buck Allen and the recently-promoted Alex Collins.
Offensive linemen Matt Skura and Dieugot Joseph both took part in practice after being added to the 53-man roster Tuesday to take the places of six-time Pro Bowl guard Marshal Yanda (ankle) and rookie linebacker Bam Bradley (knee), who were both placed on injured reserve. Skura started all four preseason games for the Ravens before being waived at the end of the summer and signed to the practice squad while Joseph had been a member of Chicago's developmental squad.
The Ravens were scheduled to fly to London following Thursday afternoon's practice. Harbaugh said the organization is basically following what other teams have done in their trips across the Atlantic Ocean in recent years. The biggest challenge will be adjusting to the five-hour time change just two days ahead of their meeting with the Jaguars, a team the Ravens are facing for the fourth consecutive season.
Jacksonville is also playing a game at Wembley Stadium for the fifth consecutive season.
"I do not know if any teams lately have gone over the whole week [based on] our research that [team president] Dick Cass did," Harbaugh said. "Dick really spearheaded this for us. He was out in front of this and did the homework on it and came up with the basic format for what we are doing and did a great job with it."
Below is Wednesday's full injury report:
DID NOT PARTICIPATE: WR Michael Campanaro (ankle), CB Jaylen Hill (thigh), RB Terrance West (calf), DT Brandon Williams (foot), TE Maxx Williams (ankle)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION: DB Anthony Levine (chest)
FULL PARTICIPATION: LB Za'Darius Smith (knee/ankle)
DID NOT PARTICIPATE: S Tashaun Gipson (ankle), LB Lerentee McCray (knee), C Brandon Linder (knee)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION: WR Jaelen Strong (hamstring), CB Jalen Ramsey (ankle), DT Malik Jackson (groin)
FULL PARTICIPATION: QB Blake Bortles (right wrist), WR Allen Hurns (shoulder)

James McTeigue Quotes
4 James McTeigue quotes:
"It is a work of fiction. It is a piece of entertainment."
"She's an amazing actress. You need to believe the journey that character goes on, and I think Natalie lets you really believe it. She's your guide through the narrative. It's really about her presence and her intelligence."
"It is an allegory. It is about things that have gone on in the past, things that are happening now and things that I am sure will happen in the future. I hope it works as a piece of entertainment and I hope audiences will talk about some of the ideas it discusses and the questions it asks."
"It became apparent very quickly that he was never going to be comfortable in or make peace with the mask. You spend a long time as an actor learning what to do with your face. It is the big tool that you have, and so are your eyes. When you take that away, it's difficult."

"Most people could use compassion much more than advice." ~ Jennifer Hough (Tweetable)
Hi there,
The remembering of 'who we are' as brilliant magnificent creative beings is amping up. As our collective asking for more harmony expands, we feel the call to fly and operate at more "love-based" frequencies……and as we emanate more harmony and behave from a default position of love, the old patterns and hurts become dissolved, making them so much less interesting.
See below for information about your Human Innate Abilities, our Upcoming Workshops, Get Out of Your Own Way and a juicy Radio Show next week……
FYI – THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY SHIFTS IN ONE WEEK – Physical Upgrades, Earthly upgrades in the form of volcanic activity and Earth Quakes, Mass amounts of density leaving in very short periods of time, judgments coming up and an opportunity to upgrade in a massive way…….more to come (I'll write a note about it), but just letting you know you are not alone. You have to see this…..

There are a lot of common things we do on a regular basis which we somehow believe has no relevance. Or some things we do that we thought of as "not good for us." Surprisingly, these common things that we do could boost our health, or actually be good for us. Let's check them out:
Browsing the NET:
Ever heard of the line "Use it or lose it?" The findings of a new study tell us the protective effects of an active cognitive lifestyle arise through multiple biological pathways. For some time researchers have been aware of a link between what we do with our brains and the long-term risk for dementia. In general, those who are more mentally active or maintain an active cognitive lifestyle throughout their lives are at lower risk, and so browsing the net and continuously challenging and making use of one's brain stimulates the areas that control language and memory as well as helping to improve decision-making and complex reasoning! So give those middle-aged and older persons more access to surf the net. Oh yeah!
Picture, picture!
With the emergence of social networks, taking pictures has become viral, so to speak. Those who are not fond of storing memories though photographs are actually losing the chance to boost happiness levels and health through looking at photographs. Research tell us that recalling good memories and having a positive view of the past holidays or occasions certainly boost one's health. As per memory studies, it was found that people find it easier to recall bad memories than good ones. So if you have a hard time focusing on the happy ones, remember that looking at pictures of holidays and special pictures are sure to bring you surge of joy! Gee! Wacky, wacky!
Music For Every Day:
Music therapy is used by health care providers for their patients and special children. But do you know that we do not have to be sick to use music as therapy? Having music in our daily life affects fitness and we may not be aware of it! Music helps a lot in setting our moods because it impacts our psychological perception of the activity we are doing, and likewise, our so-called staying power. Have you noticed how lighter chores are when you are doing them with music? How enjoyable exercises are when there is music? It's our energy booster! "Footloose, footloose…"
Household Chores:
Who'd say that their favorite pastime is doing household chores? Aww… i won't. But do you now that keeping your haven clean and orderly actually helps you to stay healthy, after regularly shedding those extra pounds? One research funded by Cancer Research UK divulged that doing house chores can lower the risk of breast cancer by 30% in premenopausal women and lower in those undergoing post-menopause. Which is great news! Now, we women could enjoy those house chores more! "Whistle a happy tune, tralalala…."
Having Friends:
Those of us who already have great friends in our life don't have second thoughts that great friends are actually health boosters, right. Now, it is backed by research which tells us our friends help us live longer by reducing feelings of depression, stress and risky behavior, and encouraging us to look after our health. With our friends, joy becomes double and stress, when shared become half. Just make sure you've got the right friends, not fiends!
Getting Married:
Those who are married live longer than the single ones due to the fact they experience less social isolation; such was the result of studies and statistics. In a study of over 1.5 million men and women, it was found that having one to two children reduces risk of numerous conditions including cancer, alcoholism and heart disease. While there are obligations and responsibilities entailed with raising a family, it looks like that the emotional rewards promote more health benefits. Not to mention the benefits that physical marital union gives. Singles… be aware!
Stress in short bursts can actually strengthen our immune system. Really? Oh wow… In cases of acute stress, the body prepares itself for danger or threat, the so-called the fight-or-flight response, through the release of hormones including cortisol, which causes a short-term boost to the immune system. So don't worry if you find yourself stressed once in a while; like preparing for a competition, needing to give a speech or being stressed by an errant son. Lol. Be consoled that stress may be doing our immune system a boost! Hello, stress! ^__^
Drinking Beer:
Yes, believe it or not, drinking beer in moderation could actually have more health benefits than red wine, according to research studies. Word is out that moderate consumption of beer actually helps in reducing risk of heart disease, diabetes, dementia and stroke. Although we always associate beer-drinking with bulging bellies, beer is rich in many nutrients such as magnesium, selenium and B vitamins. Beer also contains a cancer-fighting compound. So don't fret if your husband or father (or even yourself) drinks beer in moderation or occasionally! Cheers, beer buddies!
Shedding Tears:
Yes, indeed, shedding some tears also does wonders for our health. Crying helps us to release the chemicals that build up in our bodies during times of stress, and it also washes away dirt elements in our eyes. have you also noticed how better we feel after shedding those tears instead of keeping pent-up emotions bottled inside of us? Worry no more! It's ok to cry over sad movies and cutting onions! Boo-hoo-hoo!
Getting Dirty:
Contrary to popular belief, being so clean and sterile doesn't guarantee you great health. Grandma used to say that a little dirt would be good for us, remember? Research assures us now that exposure to friendly bacteria found in soil can actually help boost the immune system and alleviate depression. So don't worry your heart out if you see your child running on soil or tripping on grass and becoming dirty. In fact, why not join your child? Going barefoot has been advised before. Now, even running barefoot is trending! Whoa! Giddy yup, indians!
Shaking a Big Butt
Instead of looking at our big butts in the mirror and giving out a long sigh of disgust, now we can smile at it! Studies show that fat stored in our enormous butt mops up harmful fatty acids, contains an anti-inflammatory that prevents arteries from clogging, and cuts your risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Yell with me… I love my ass!

Dana Key (1953-2010)
Last night I was surprised to learn of the death of Dana Key, one half of DeGarmo & Key. This group was among the pioneers of Christian rock music. (It's also interesting to note Key was a direct descendant of Francis Scott Key, the author of "The Star Spangled Banner.")
DeGarmo & Key were the first Christian group to have a music video appear on MTV. Strangely enough, the original video for their song "Six, Six, Six" was pulled from rotation on MTV due to violent content. MTV was supposedly unaware that DeGarmo & Key were a Christian band when their video for "Six, Six, Six" included a short scene of a man representing the Antichrist being set on fire. DeGarmo & Key were allowed to submit a re-edited version, which was placed back into rotation.
While I didn't listen to DeGarmo & Key's music a whole lot, Dana wrote a book that impacted my life as a young Christian. "Don't Stop the Music" was a response to the anti-"Christian Rock" position of some well-known preachers. As a fellow musician, I will testify that God can use any kind of music that glories Him.
I met Dana once in 1994. At the time I resided in a room above the New Union, a Christian nightclub in Minneapolis that later evolved into Club 3 Degrees. If I recall correctly, Dana did a solo performance that night at the New Union. I didn't attend the concert due to a prior commitment but returned to the New Union in time to meet Dana and have him sign my copy of "Don't Stop the Music." Four years later, I gave the book to a disc jockey friend in Germany who was later inspired to start a Christian disco there.
Following semi-retirement from DeGarmo & Key, Dana headed a Christian record company and recently had been serving as the pastor of a small church in Tennessee. Dana was only 56 years old when he died last Sunday from a ruptured blood clot. Let's keep his wife and three children in our prayers during this time of transistion.
"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." – Romans 8:38-39

While we should move on, here are some points that could potentially clear what went Wrong with Kabir Khan' most awaited Tubelight!
By Amol S. Malkar - July 11, 2017
Wait! Bhai-Fans! Before you went on full rage mode to dis this article and defend Bhai, settle down, take a sip of cutting chai and just go through this article! You can disagree!
It came with a huge waggon of hopes tied with it with his beloved fans and industry alike. And touted to be 2017' biggest earner at the box office ever since it was announced! And when it shows up at the theatre, everything went downhill!
Everyone was damn sure about the film as it was hit collaboration between superstar Salman Khan and director Kabir Khan, the theme was heart-warming, trailer and teaser were cute, the fact the film was inspired by Hollywood film Little Boy and even that didn't bother the enthusiasm fans had for Tubelight. Yet this film failed to impress not only die-heart fans of Salman Khan but fans of Kabir Khan also felt led down. Though following pointers might not be accurately reasoned the description of the wreckage, but give you a good idea of what actually went wrong!
If you put a die heart Salman fan under psycho-analysis, one thing you will be sure of, they are actually the fan of Salman's larger than life persona. And they can't blame for this, we all were fed with films like Wanted, Dabangg franchise, Ek Tha Tiger, Kick and even Sultan! Such films, where we felt entertained by his superhero bravado, which feels he is almost possessed superhuman like powers! We are used to it! But in Tubelight, he was playing a character of a man-child, who is slow in his learning skills and living life as he sees and adapts with it. Now it might be an ideally challenging role for any other actor but is it tailor made for Salman and his fans?
As per initial impression, Salman' fans weren't so ecstatic to see Bhai weeping like a baby or weak in any manner. They literally want to see Salman Khan to kick some serious asses, coin some clap-worthy dialogues. They want the worth of their money spent on movie tickets, with the kind of entertainment Salman used to deliver. them! Though ideologically it was a good setting, not for the Salman fan, who makes his critically poor film a blockbuster!
And honestly, filmmakers should have learned a lesson from the box office report of 2005's Salman starrer Kyon Ki… It's fate!
Another big name who was also betting his credibility on Tubelight was Kabir Khan and being a fan of his direction, even I felt disappointed. Telling a hard hitting story without depleting human emotion was and is Kabir Khan's forte. Take Kabul Express, New York, and even Bajrangi Bhaijaan as an example, where he made haters of Salman Khan who used to taunt him saying 'Salman is just style over substance' made them believe in Salman and his potential to deliver! But this time, with Tubelight, Kabir Khan lost some grip over his fans, as neither viewer, even Salman Khan Fans, felt did not feel connected with the story or the way it was told. Frankly, the main skeleton of Tubelight' story was to believe in our beliefs, and we already praised Bajrangi Bhaijaan for that, where two innocent characters took a belief and despite going through a lot, they stuck to it and succeeded! So there was nothing new in that story, other than backdrop and casting difference! Despite Kabir Khan's Phantom was box office failure but it still holds up to Kabir Khan's standard, but Tubelight will be a sore note in his film trajectory!
Before talking about Sohail Khan, let's talk about rest of the casting! Many actors were featured in this film and most of them were well known, like Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and local bully guys were just there to do his task being handed over, Brijendra Kala was forgettable, Yashpal Sharma was okay and legendary actor Om Puri make his last cinematic presence felt in the film. The Matin Rey Tangu in character of Gu Won was rock-star in any scene given but Zhu Zhu was completely left alienated despite having such a prominent role than others.
But the most proper mismatch in this chaos was indeed, Sohail Khan! Despite being real life brother and more of a friend nothing transformed it to reel life! It almost felt as if the role was supposed to be played by someone one younger, but then Sohail Khan was cast to fill the place. As mentioned by Kabir Khan in the making videos, Sohail Khan was cast considering his chemistry with Salman Khan, and even I also bought it as we have seen their public appearances! But it seems Kabir Khan took a short cut, "Real Life mein bhai hai, toh Reel life mein bhi nibha jayega!"
Even if we forget the fact for a moment that, in Little Boy, the boy was 9yr old and pursuing his belief to meet his father and Tubelight is frame by frame adaptation of that film. But how can one not flinch, when someone sees a middle age character, played by the actor who looks 40 something and wouldn't look cringy! And the conversation between Bharat and Laxman went on to make it cringe!
And it is not just lead actors that make it seems unrealistic, the whole town Jagatpur is fabricated with unreal assumption and something which would have looked better with any other masala Bollywood film but not with Tubelight! And I'm saying this totally keeping in mind that logic and Salman's film doesn't need to go hand-in-hand, and I also agree it should be kept in that way!
We get it! It is Salman's Eid release and this makes it more obvious choice for any viewer to book the ticket for the film and investors to invest pocket full of money in it. And frankly, media also propagated this film as it is, despite evaluating its worth. The result, everyone bet their investments on such a weak project and end up getting their palms burned, when the films hit theatres and hordes of people they expected didn't show up! If one can just review their promotional strategy aesthetically, they didn't give a hint that it could be just an average film. But promotional tactic was targeted to sell everyone a larger than life character just like every Salman movie being sold before. And those who fall prey to this gimmick thought they'll be meeting better character than Bajrangi from Bajrangi Bhaijaan and felt tricked!
I'm not saying it is totally a waste film, Salman's attempt to explore his talent and taking a role out of his comfort zone is really commendable. A true Salman Fan would accept this fact and would see the whole film as a brilliant masterpiece. While rest would wonder why they decided to watch this film at first place! While as per current news, Salman Khan did agree to repay most of the money investors have invested in, who suffer loss and financial disappointment and also seems to have learned a lesson from it!

Press Statement: Anti-Austerity Alliance
Crisis for Government & Irish Water as 57% of households Boycott Water Charges
No penalties or threats until after General Election – Campaigners call on other to boycott Second Bill
Boycott & General Election can be used to bury the government and Irish Water
The Anti-Austerity Alliance has issued the following statement following a report in the Irish Times that 57% of households boycotted the first Irish Water bill, and have encouraged people to maintain the boycott and encouraged those who were scared into paying the first bill to join the boycott.
Paul Murphy TD said "This is a massive victory for the anti-water charges movement and for people power. The government have attempted to scare and brow beat people into paying these charges. Today in the Dail it was clear by the Taoiseach's reaction to my question on the figures that from their point of view the figures weren't good. 57% of people, a clear majority have sent them a message that they will not pay these charges. This is now a major political crisis for the government and a crisis for Irish Water.
Ruth Coppinger TD said "The government have tried to introduce legislation to scare and frighten people to break the boycott campaign because they know that the boycott is the weapon which is going to sink Irish Water. Anti-water charger campaigners need to use this to boost and re-organise our local campaigns to maintain the boycott in our areas. We need to make sure that the boycott is maintained. We need to try to convince those who have paid to not pay the second bill. Why would they pay the second bill when they see the mass boycott and that the government is helpless to do anything against it? We need to make sure that people know that there are no penalties until after the general election, that there are no deductions at source like the property tax, that they can't bring us all to court."
Joe Higgins TD said "The anger against the water charges and austerity is clear by the sheer scale of this boycott. It is important now that we maintain the boycott until the General Election so that it is the key issue. This will mean that any government which is elected in the face of a massive boycott will be forced to abolish the charges."

I've been trying to justify buying one of these high power laser pointers. I've hovered over the checkout button several times now unable to pull the trigger. Truth is I go through this struggle with my inner child often. I have a wide range of interest so there's an endless list of toys that I could make full use of. I'm a capably person and I quickly outgrow less capable toys when exploring my interest so if I decide to go down a road I know it's going to hurt financially. I need to be very picky about which roads I take. I'm ok financially and I'm past the need for delayed gratification for necessities but when I want something expensive I need to hunker down and go without for a period to get it.
Buyers remorse is my constant companion, I agonize over every superfluous expenditure even for small ticket items. I wonder the isles at the grocery store before checkout thinking "are shallots really that much better than onions for sauce"? I use alternate reasoning such as "red meat's not good for me anyway" to justify putting the $13 a pound steaks back. (I think the cows must have formed a union). Old habits are hard to break, it's why I stayed out of the military, I felt it would forever change me for the worse.
So I discovered that they had these high power laser pointers online of course and immediately wanted one. I've always loved lasers, I even built one in high school. I couldn't believe they actually sold these things to anyone and thought, it's just a matter of time before some yahoo messes it up for everyone and shines one at a police helicopter or some other nefarious stupidity . Well sure enough some kid shines one a police helicopter and then a hole slew of morons followed. Link. Link. Link. Link. Some genius blinding the QB at a football game too win a bet or something to that effect will probable spell the end to the fun.
So far you can still buy them but I notice the more powerful <150mw are getting very hard to find. I think the crackdown is coming soon so if I want one now's the time. Problem is there not cheap, the most powerful, 600mw and the one I want of course is $2500! bucks. The buyers remorse would most likely be lethal if I purchased this one but I think I could stomach the 300mw for $650. The 300mw is powerful enough to melt anything the 600mw will just not as fast.
For the 4th I was at my friends party as I am every year because he lives out in the sticks and we like to go a little nuts with the pyrotechnics. He's got this brass cannon that will set off car alarms for miles, it's great fun. Anyway my friend lit up a cigar and I mentioned they had laser pointers that could light a cigarette, he didn't believe me so I had too show him online to prove it. We all sat around postulating all the potentially uplifting uses for such a device, everything from zapping the palmetto bugs that like to crawl on the walls here in Florida, to the remote ignition of fireworks. That's when the mood became somber as we pondered what could've been.
I have a feeling the next 4th celebration is going to resemble a Floyd concert.

Rainey Center co-founder and President Sarah Hunt has authored a new policy paper advocating for California to adopt a binding, clearly defined expansion of their Clean Energy Standards under SB 100.
California has been a leader in efforts towards energy sector de-carbonization, and access to affordable, clean energy is essential for the state's future.
In the paper, Hunt discusses six critical policy elements needed to achieve this goal. These include adopting phased-in expansion benchmarks that will reach the goals of the Paris Agreement by 2038, passing new statutes to clearly define what qualifies as "clean energy" or "zero carbon," enacting cost control measures to protect California families from "rate shock," removing outdated and overlapping mandates, limiting the liability of power producers, and guaranteeing the integrity of California's clean energy grid by ensuring low carbon imported electrons.

The continuous use of cluster bombs -many of them manufactured by the US- in several conflicts around the world, shows a disregard for human rights and tarnishes the image of those countries that make, sell, and use them. Because of the high number of civilians who are frequently their victims—including children who unknowingly pick them up—they should more appropriately be called "Cowards' bombs".
Cluster bombs eject explosive bomblets (little bombs) designed to kill personnel and destroy vehicles over a wide area. Unexploded bomblets can continue killing or maiming civilians long after a conflict has ended, and are very costly to find and remove. In Vietnam, for example, approximately 300 people are still killed annually by unexploded ordnance.
Nations that ratify the Convention on Cluster Munitions adopted in Dublin, Ireland, in May 2008, are prohibited from using them. This Convention entered into force and became binding international law on 1 August 2010. The Convention on Cluster Munitions" bans the stockpiling, use and transfer of virtually all existing cluster bombs, and provides for the clearing up of unexploded munitions.
As of October 2015, a total of 118 states have joined the Convention, as 98 parties and 20 Signatories. Many of the world's major military powers, including the United States, Russia, Brazil and China, are not signatories of that treaty. The treaty's obligations became legally binding after 30 states ratified the convention, and subsequently for all other ratifying states.
In May 2008, then-Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs Stephen Mull stated that the U.S. military relies upon cluster munitions as an important part of their defense strategy. "U.S. forces simply cannot fight by design or by doctrine without holding out at least the possibility of using cluster munitions," he said with untrembling voice.
Since the creation of the United Nations in 1945, at least 30 countries have produced cluster munitions, among them China, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, North Korea, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. As of November 2015, at least 61 countries have stockpiles of cluster munitions.
26 countries have subscribed to the Wellington Declaration, agreeing in principle that their stockpiles of cluster munitions should be destroyed. Despite these lofty declarations of intent, however, at least 17 countries have used cluster munitions in recent times. Among those countries are France, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Netherlands, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sudan, Syria, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Even though all weapons are dangerous, cluster bombs are a particular threat to civilians because they affect a wide area and leave behind a significant number of unexploded bomblets, which can maim civilians –many of them children- for decades after the end of a conflict.
Because of the high number of civilians killed or maimed by these munitions their use has been condemned by many groups and organizations such as the United Nations, the Red Cross, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the Cluster Munition Coalition, and Doctors Without Borders.
Handicap International, which since 2005 has collected hundreds of thousands of signatures to support its campaign to ban these weapons, says that 98 percent of their recorded cluster munitions casualties are civilians, and 27 percent among them are children.
Adding to questionable practices by international banks, Bank Track, an international network of NGOs specializing in control of financial institutions, many major banks and other financial corporations either financed directly, or provided financial services to companies producing cluster munitions in the period 2005-2012. Pax Christi, a Netherlands-based NGO, estimated that at least 137 financial institutions financed cluster munition production. Out of these 137 institutions, 63 were based in the U.S. and 18 in the European Union.
In the meantime, cluster munitions continue to be used, as was repeatedly denounced in Syria. The last reported use of these munitions is the war against the Houti forces in Yemen conducted by Saudi Arabia with U.S. support. Although Saudi Arabia has denied using them, Human Rights Watch has stated that it has evidence that cluster bombs provided by the US have been used by that country. As long as the US continues making and selling these weapons, it cannot claim it adheres to basic human rights principles.

As Fox5 reports New York police recently used a small GPS tracker to catch a serial robber. The policemen were beforehand with the trap: they put GPS device into the heap of stuff that a hapless thief grabbed from the next gas station.
Today it's not uncommon security services use GPS trackers in their investigations. In the U.S. this practice even caused legal concerns and led the Supreme Court to interfere. No doubts detectives of all countries have a wide range of well-tested tools for tracking suspects, their vehicles or parcels. Let's give some thoughts about the technologies behind those news.
Quite obviously a GPS tracker for police purposes must be easy to install, stay unnoticeable and report about the position as long as it is required. But don't expect a secret device which meets all these requirements looks like a button on James Bond's suit. In real life it is bigger – at least as a watch-sized bracelet locator Laipac S911 or GoSafe G737 inmate tracker. Probably the smallest personal trackers available on the market today and widely used for kids tracking have the size similar to Trax family locator, Queclink GL300 or Gubloos GPS-T1.
For tracking the cars there is nothing simpler to install, but a GPS tracker with magnet mounting. The good examples are same Queclink GL300 with optional magnet casing, Wonde Proud M7 or GoSafe G1S. Thanks to the very strong neodymium magnets, they are so easy to attach. The scenes from popular crime TV shows such as "Graceland" or "Breaking bad" where GPS trackers are planted on the bottoms of cars are absolutely realistic.
As you could guess, not only FBI or DIA are able to reach such methods, but… anyone. And anyone can become a target of unwanted shadowing. For example, a jealous person can buy a GPS tracker and locate his / her lover. And as GPS tracking technologies improve, it might become a real ethical issue.
Were you or your friend a target of undesirable GPS tracking? Share your experience and concerns in comments.

Alphabet—the parent company of Google, Nest, Waymo, and a million other companies—is launching a new company under the Alphabet umbrella. It's called "Chronicle," and the new company wants to apply the usual Google tenets of machine learning and cloud computing to cybersecurity.
The company is already up and running with an absolutely awesome URL, "chronicle.security," along with two introductory blog posts (1, 2), a logo, a Twitter account, and a vague sales pitch for some kind of security analysis product. The Chronicle team started in February 2016 under Alphabet's "Moonshot factory" X group and, before now, had been in stealth mode.
According to the website, the company is building a "cybersecurity intelligence platform" that can help organizations better manage and understand their own data.
