Anti-Eurofighter Downing Street e-petition started
Bring back the Ark Royal.
It would have saved a lot of Welsh lives if it had been parked in the south Atlantic a few years back. Going further back at some 1/4 or 1/2 million each the MoD should have had more than 4 Spitfires on the order books the day war broke out.
If the Ark Royal had been parked in the Falklands and loaded with ex WW 2 aircraft there wouldn't have been a Falklands war.
I am all for nice new things but lets finish with the real good stuff first eh? BEFORE we throw it all away next time. I'm all for digging up Mz Handbag and hanging her, drawing her and quartering her. Blue handbag and all.
School worker's Facebook post prompts suspension
Whatever happened to the Nu labour ideals?
I can remember long after they had real bread that the government were very keen on us helping them catch crooks by snitching to them.
Now it appears telling the truth and shaming the government, school broads and who the hell else, isn't flavour of the month no longer.
and name em.
Netizens tell court NebuAd's not dead
I hope the judge isn't a Bushite.
It would be a shame if the criminals that had taken over the prison were still in office.
I noticed the campaign to snitch on dole claimants has been dropped while events unfurl this side of the pond.
Microsoft, Asus launch anti-Linuxbook campaign
What a stupid clip. It doesn't even explain what freedom is and if it did, it wouldn't be an advert for Leenux, whatever that is.
What were the images supposed to represent? OXO? Beef gravy or a laptop for children? And that was the contest winner. Or was that a fake site?
Nork nuke quite a lot less powerful than Hiroshima
If only they had said it was just a natural earth quake. Everyone would have been happy.
Looks like an earthquake sequence to me:

Something for the weakened:
Who wants a giant poster of the history of Unix?
In English please
"I can think of far more entertaining ways to initiate a divorce than bringing home a $300 "
40-foot poster"
300 and something dollars is like something like 1200 two and sixes like.
And 1200 half crowns is like 150 quid like. Well you could like put it up like in a garage like and she'd never like know.
You could distract her by arguing the relative measures taken to devalue the pound from the good old days. When did pot noodle cost half a crown? like.
Scientists: Tasers work, but we don't know how
"Despite the Taser being one of the most heavily researched less-lethal weapons in the world, its operational mechanism remains a mystery"
If you work for police of a certain US rail transport authority, you can have utter confidence in the mystery becoming even more mysterious when your victim, face down on the station concrete and not capable of resistance, suddenly shows everyone what his insides look like and you notice your supernanocomicelectro gun has reverted to one that uses lead and magic smoke.
Not that all rail cops are stupid. Just unaware of the photographers occasionally.
If they can break the law, why can't we?
Who will police the unpoliceable?
I have visions of parole officers being recruited to jam the masses. Fancy being interrogated by some idiot savant refused promotion from the Job Centre?
What will happen when readers of computer magazines realise they are being recruited for the BNP not the IT?
BT rejects wholesale price changes
Hot Potatoes in Jacquettes?
"In the UK, you can't have ADSL without also renting the phone service. Whether you make calls or not, you still have to pay £11 or so per month for voice service rental. There's no choice."
The powers that be don't have a clue and unless it involves lots of spying, money changing and spin, nobody is going to get cluebyfoured up about it too neither.
Hulu's web TV coming to the UK
Goodnight. And I love you all. MWAAhhh...
Apart from the massive waste of money on the M.$.-up the BBC took their time hastily lashing together for everyone on the board issued with etchasketches by their IT subordinates, what else went wrong with the BBC cobblers?
Hack suspect challenges privacy of Palin emails
They setting the bar really low for Septic lawyers nowadays, too
I'd have thought a Republican with the possibility of getting to be second in command to the man going to be responsible for reading all the email and pwned other stuff including illicit undersea cable re-jointed international communications around the middle east recently; fairly recently that is, would know that the security of any electronic communications was non existent.
Unless it was a neo-Alaskan with the word sucker stamped on it. If it was printed in the headlines of every national US newspaper, such a dummy would not know of that.
Charges against London tube tourist snapper thrown out
No evidence?
Why was the CCTV not offered to the defendant in advance of the case? Or was it? And was it rather too lewd following too many well endowed nymphettes or something, for the police to want it shown in public?
"One should also understand that the Greek authorities are very sensitive on matters of security for a variety of reasons."
One of them being the use of Greek airports for renditions by CIA subcontractors/torturers.
Add you twohaporth here:
Downing Street on Phorm: 'Meh'
It wasn't me Gov, OHMSt!
Why all the fuss. We managed to take on Iraq despite their secret weapons of mass destruction and Afghanistan despite the way it broke Russia when they tried it on.
Oh wait. America is broke now too so are er... we.
Anyway that's got nothing to do with it. The thing is that if it is all done in secret then when it all blows up in our faces then... ermm... well at least nobody can say they were ever told anything.
Maybe Nanci Pelosi might but who is going to believe her.... ermm... er.. wait a m...

Court upholds 'hacking' charge against smut-surfing worker
Ohio PCs
US states mulling Google book-scan pact
Most importantly, copyright protection should not be given automatically beyond the first year. If the author wishes to extend the protection beyond the first year, he/she must register the work with the US Copyright Office (in the case of the US) with a small annual fee (say, $10 for a book, $1.00 for an article).
So you must pay a writing fee tax or whatever for free speech in the USA?
What a place!
US braces for 'bio-Katrina'

"By Steve Evans Posted Thursday 7th May 2009 19:29 GMT
Does that mean they are going to abandon half a southern state to it?"
Nope, it just means they are going to lock down news access to the catastrophe that will be FED by FEMA:
Microsoft blocks dirty dozen apps from mobile store
How long before it is cracked wider than a window in a kettle at a G20 conference?
Pilots plot air raid on Jacqui over ID cards
CSCS cards
You think that's funny?
Building workers have had to take silly tests in order to show they know how to use a ladder* and then pay for their pass cards and have been asked involuntarily or else you don't get a job for a few years now.
And with the work climate hitting that particular industry firstest and hardest you can see the pointed side to all this. As it involves self employed people (the section of the construction industry least likely to club together to complain) it went through force majeure.
So now we have self employed unemployed forking out most of a week's dole for the annual card subscription just in case.
Something almost identical happened to my dad, a sailor in the depression of the 1930's. Join the union or you won't get a job. And so he parted with a fiver -in those days a fair wad. And still no ship.
Same bloody party too. Ostensibly.

Man survives death march to display-on-a-chip
Name and shame
What is the point of this sort of article with its non news innuendos? We all want to know the names of the pr*cks who worked at that duffers incorpulant. Get some serious research in will you!
If anyone wants to know who invented what, they can look it up on the computer; it's what the Internet is for.
NetBSD, Mandriva get shiny new releases

At least the small things can achieve what the behemoths can't and a minor branch of the free sourcery tree can do what Microsoft has had trouble doing for all its onme potenence.

Liquid crystals - Display genius no match for petty politics
Tomorrow's world.
Divits like me are still panning away at wierd ideas that are kookfests to most Usenet inhabitants.
But to us our little insights are golden.
Next time someone is belittling somebody on the Net, try and remember who is full of fat and fries, playing games and winning the real game of Loser.
One up for the management of monopolies. Nice to think that although Britain once lead the world in fatheads with large bases, the US have had their fair share of them too.
If any hardnosed cleverdicks on here read this, if you learn anything from it it should be:
Be Nice.
Police detain Craigslist masseuse murder suspect
Knocking prostitution.
Would legalising prostitution make sex with such species safe?
I got the impression people capable of sinking that low do it for drug money and psychological problems.
It's nice to be in a position where bawdy jokes can be made at their expense. And wasting time policing their desperation as crime is not the answer. But it is a sadly perverted skew on their lives, isnt it?
The Pirate Bay loads cannon with official appeal
Sir Paul's 2 rechoirmens
"Who is this fella Paul McCartney that people are commenting on and what has he go to do with the 21st Century?"
He is a songsmith who was so badly duped by the Music Mafia that he didn't want to work for the SOBs anymore. This put the Beatles out of business. And so ladies and gents, you can blame the greedy Bs in the Mafia for the demise of a great little rock and roll band.
Had there been an internet at the time I like to think John Lenon would still be part of the band and playing live gigs online. Still, we don't know who else would have hopped it from the maestro's multiverses, legit or not.

Pirate Bay guilty verdict: Now what?
I love Paris in the springtime
"I find myself somewhat in the middle over this case. On the one hand I agree with the record industry, in that copyrighted content should be paid for, as it pays the salaries of the artists concerned."
First cuckoo of the spring. Well done that man!

@ Richard Stubbs. Fail
If you are so far gone you have to add this for a comment:

Jedi officers enlist with Scottish police

Light baton waivering jediboys everywhere will want to know how the office of random factoids not to be left on trains anywhere honest guv is permitted to decide what is or is not a religion, since the peace with Ireland depends on a law written during the Restoration that guarantees freedom of worship in the unknighted kindom.
BCS accuses UK.gov of grabbing 'draconian' data powers
How did Tory B Liar imagine we controlled things in Northern Ireland without such totalitarianism? What is the one eyed Scottish idiot not seeing that we can all too clearly?
Or did Mugrat Thrachet know more about secrecy than this bunch of muppets?
benevolent government?????
"The organisation also said the law would be unlikely to pass muster under the Human Rights Act, could increase citizens' distrust of government and "could have disastrous consequences in the hands of a less benevolent government"
A less benevolent government than one with this one's track record?
What stone have you been asleep under for the last ten years?
The only examples of less benevolent governments I can think of would have their own laws to deal with whom they wished however they liked, from Poland to France or China.
Pirate Bay prosecutor tosses infringement charges overboard
In the dockettes.
"Can we now get the price fixing cartels and blockers of free trade (RIAA, Sony BMG etc al) in the dock?"
Sony are in the dock by extension if making illegal activity available counts. Or doesn't kiting rootkits without the user's knowledge so that the pwned computer becomes a bot for anyone who knows how how latch onto it, fit the description?
Firefox 3.1 release date hampered by cheeky monkey
> You cannot go back after updating to 3.0
You can use a different account. A lot of work I admit for the sake of using a browser when other options include very good alternatives such as Opera and K-Melleon.
However I have been so annoyed at the recent versions of Firefox leaving the imprint of drop down menu boxes on my screen long after I opened aothe graphic or browser. The only way to cure it is to close Firefox.
So thanks for the heads up Reginel, I have just had to open a different user account but I already had Firefox on it. I'll check the version and put a stop on any updates it might impose. Despite its faults I still love it for the spell-check alone.
Google mistakes entire web for malware
Guess who just happened to be looking up bacteria and viruses at the time. I thought it was adequate warning if a little OTT.
Mayor Boris backs McKinnon in extradition fight
Yo Bo" You go!
I agree wholeheartedly. In fact I wouldn't even send him for trial. Anyone who has open servers is fair game.
If anyone should be sorted out in a US court it should be the Windozing IT buffoons of the Unsafe Stupids of America.
As for comparative terrrrst values. The kidnapping Victims now being held in a Cuban coaling station are more dangerous to the US for being held in a Cuban coaling station than anything else. Even the one they call Ossama's right hand man was tortured into admitting everything.
The records have all been hidden/removed/destroyed and their suspected activities must therefore be regarded as zero thus a multi-dudes of such people will have, as Boris indicates, as much value as the Brit in fomenting terrorism.
Google and the Great Wikipedia Feedback Loop
> It isn't just Google's fault
It isn't anyone's fault. Enc Brit is a pile of dog crap giving one line or at most a paragraph if you go there. I have two versions of their CD, both out of the Ark.
Nah! I won't be using them. Better the Devil you don't trust than the Devil you can't use.
BOFH-loving botmaster wants life as security consultant
Going through the motions.
"2 days presumably at a rougher prison and had to kick the crap out of someone on day one, they tried to "take it from him".."
It takes longer than two days to get processed. You won't get to see anyone in that time. While they don't know who you are you get locked up 23/7. If he kicked the crap out of anyone he'd be in a lot longer than 2 days. Was in for telling fibs?
He could do that standing on his head. Take what from him? They wouldn't put a violent or an aggressive man in with someone till he'd been sorted.
"people had no problem as long as they treated each other with respect, the ones who were not respectful had problems."
A bit like real life that isn't it?
"So I'm guessing he'll almost immediately try to defraud his fellow inmates"
Of what? There is nothing to steal. You sit around doing what you like, smoking and chatting mostly and if you don't want to work you don't work. What are they going to do? Put you in gaol?
Rot rot rot
"Let him sit and stew in prison and think about this crimes."
He won't be thinking about his crimes, he'll be thinking of the abuse and how he will do things differently next time and do it harder just to get even.
Prison is a boys club. All that talk about abuse there is stupidly ill informed. The worst that will happen is he can't talk to women and go out for a pint with his mates.
No difference there then.
OcUK puts £10K bounty on the heads of DDoS varmints
Crime or punishment
Criminal gangs will always have the jump on law and order as criminals will kill any suspects when the police can only ask them questions.
Or to put it another way if presidunce Bush was allowed to carry on regardless regardlessly, someone would have had to do for him. You can call it terrrrism if you like.

Boffins monitor strato-weather from half-mile underground
To many kooks...
"Is there something they are not telling us?"
There is a lot they don't know they can't tell us.
I collect such ideas and run them against my own concepts and some of them are very good indeed. The team are limited in what they can speculate on until they come to conclusions so they didn't mention microwaves -or at least I didn't see it in your article.
Sound is made when different layers of air slide over each other. There is no way that one stream can stir another. Try getting a tea leaf to move around in a cup of tea. That's with a relatively sticky perfect liquid. Gas is less viscous and more easily compressed.
Once you realise that, then conventional understanding is stood on its head and bumped loudly.
First-ever pics of lunar polar crater interiors released
You missed something more exciting.
"Can't miss it, straight lines and everything!"
There are more than 180 angles in any direction that a meteorite can hit the moon as it has a curved surface.
Of all the angles it can be hit at, there is only one 90 degree one. There are three hundred and sixty directions for every other angle.
So why are the majority of craters symmetrical? That can only happen if they are hit at 90 degrees.
And there are considerably more than 360 angles in a circle. 21,240 minutes for a start. Still only one perpendicular though.
That is proof there is either water or life on the moon. The trick is to make sure the British don't get there and start managing it.
Child porn in the age of teenage 'sexting'
Young and innocent. Not.
A culture of sending proof of one's sexual maturity and availability at an aged deemed below the socially acceptable limit?
Some of those states hold the threshold as no sex until you are 21 do they not?
It is a very sad situation. But I have no sympathy. At 14, people who don't know what they are doing should be under constant supervision. The morons.
Email snafu gifts federal informants' names to press
Bush's handlers haven't been so stupid have they?
Have they done one with a list of Dumbass' sock puppets?
I'd really like to know how the governments of Europe were suborned.
Pro-Palestine vandals deface Army, NATO sites
> Fair enough
Over the Holy days the BBC was letting their PR get away with murder literally. I'd have thought they might have trained some of their interviewers since Yugoslavia. But no. Same bluster and question avoidance.
As if whoever whispers in the shells of the shills is Jewish and has been given the red light.
Patent troll sues Oprah, Sony over online book viewing

Makes sense to get as many of the family that can read into the friendly chairs in the courthouses of the world's most leading nation.
'Sonic boom' golf club may 'damage hearing'
There is no limit to what can be done with the clubs themselves to limit the damage. The frequency could be changed as could the period of the stick -which could also incorporate the Helmholtz principle for creating anti-noise. Or just incorporate a sandwich of less transmittable material.
I await developments with baited..
..no I don't.
I couldn't give a toss. (What is the stickie part of a club called?)
Nature moves into 3D publishing
Spare me a thought someone.
Is it worth changing from Foxit Reader for something I am never going to pay Nature to read?
Wikipedia exceeds $6m donation goal
Is the Wikedeepia solely responsible for the naked short selling fiasco that brought the western world to its knees?
Microsoft heralds 'record' prison terms for Chinese pirates
Don't they mean: "Alledged"?
"Unfortunately, software counterfeiting is a global, illegal business without borders," said MS anti-piracy associate general counsel David Finn. "Criminals may be on the other side of the globe and may not even speak the same language, but they prey upon customers and partners all over the world."
Like the poor teacher they shot last time, this gang of crooks might be innocent. How will Microsoft in all its largesse of cleaning house on our behalf, stand up straight when it turns out that this batch of disappeared turn out to be innocent too.
The price of doing business with the worst criminals since Stalin and Hitler got together, can't be too off putting for such nice people, it would seem.

Brazilian side get shirty with their rivals
Iain Hepburn | March 28, 2013
One to file under the 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' column.
Brazilian side Uniao Barbarense came up with a cunning ruse in their efforts to beat rivals Linense in their match in the Sao Paulo state championship this week - field two players with the same shirt numbers.
No, I can't figure it out either.
Barbarense deployed midfielder Britto with the number seven shirt during the first half of last night's game, before giving him the number five shirt for the second half. �Defender Rafael Silva also wore the number five shirt.
After being spotted by the referee, a whole 26 minutes into the second half, Britto changed numbers again. �This time for the number 17 shirt. �For his cunning ruse, the player picked up a yellow card.
"They were on the attack and we used all the tricks we could to keep them at bay," Britto said afterwards.
"It was a strategy and it worked."
Apparently so. �Barbarense won the match 3-2. �Although it might have been 5-2 at half time and someone swapped the numbers about...

"I got SO many compliments on this announcement for my son. It is so colorful and playful, perfect for our baby boy! I love it so much, it couldn't have been any more perfect."
"I love the way these announcements came out. We got the special pearl finish with the scalloped edges which gave it such a special look. They are very impressive. I wish that Tiny Prints would make a frame to hold a sample of this uniquely shaped announcement. I want to frame it and put it up in our house."
"I chose this design because I couldn't pick just one or two pictures from our newborn session to use, and this was a great way to choose 5 without it seeming cluttered. It was the perfect choice to introduce our baby!"
"Came out beautifully and have received lots of compliments already. Pictures look beautiful. Asked for a custom change to the back layout and was designed perfectly by the reviewer. Printed and shipped faster than promised."
"The baby announcements were perfect! Looked exactly like I expected! They shipped fast and got delivered earlier than quoted as well!! Very pleased!!"

The Obama administration's drone and targeted killing policy will come under scrutiny at the United Nations today with a report concluding at least 400 Pakistani civilians have been killed by drone strikes over the past decade.

Amnesty International has released a major new report on how U.S. drone strikes kill civilians in Pakistan, where it says some deaths may amount to war crimes. The group reviewed 45 drone strikes that have occurred in North Waziristan since January 2012. It found at least 19 civilians were killed in just two of those strikes, despite claims by the Obama administration it is accurately targeting militants.

[includes rush transcript]Nov 07, 2012 | Story
A new report on the secret U.S. drone war in Pakistan says the attacks have killed far more civilians than acknowledged, traumatized a nation and undermined international law. In "Living Under Drones," researchers conclude the drone strikes "terrorize men, women, and children, giving rise to anxiety and psychological trauma among civilian communities." The study concludes that most of the militants killed in the strikes...Sep 26, 2012 | Story
At least 27 people have been killed in three consecutive days of U.S. drone strikes inside Pakistan, part of a new wave of attacks over the past two weeks.

Women groped at 2 Canton Township stores
Updated On: Apr 15 2014 06:32:19 PM EDT
Canton Township police arrested a Romulus man after two women reported being groped while shopping Sunday.
The incidents occurred in two stores. The first was at the JC Penney store on Ford Road between Morton Taylor and Sheldon roads. The second was at the Kohl's store on Ford Road, west of Sheldon Road.
In the first case Sunday afternoon, a woman shopping at Penney's said a man slid his hand down her pants and grabbed her.
He got away. When police arrived and were interviewing the woman about the incident, they got a report of a similar incident in the Kohl's store. Shortly afterward, the woman pointed out to police that the man who groped her had returned to Penney's.
Officers arrested a 20-year-old Romulus man.
Trisha Armstrong is a neighbor of the man, who said he has been going through a difficult time, having experienced the deaths of his father and his brother within a month. But she still was shocked to hear the allegation.
"I don't see him doing that, honestly, like, he has never come off to me like that kind of person," Armstrong said.
The man is expected to be charged Wednesday.

Ask Santa to give you our pricey certs for Christmas, says Oracle
Oracle has suggested that IT Professionals might like to suggest to Santa that popping a certification under the tree is a grand way to celebrate the festive season. Big O's certification program manager Brandye Barrington has blogged the idea in a post titled "Have You Considered Oracle Certification For Your Holiday Gift List …
If someone gifted me something I'd be grateful they thought of me. They'd be on my nice list because the thought really is the thing that counts. I'd even try to take the exam, see if I could make their monetary expenditure worthwhile.
...but I don't think there's much call for Oracle anything in the world I inhabit. Indeed, I think the relevance of Oracle to the world at large is shrinking. The margins may be going up - squeal, hostages, squeal! - but they are the core of their own little niche. The rest of the world has adapted to exist without them, and - I think - we are happier for it.
Quite right. Oracle are popular for the same reason Cisco are popular - the qualified people are in charge of which product to buy and they buy what they know. Now that alternatives are as good or better for many uses that is beginning to change as the cost can't be justified as easily. Oracle may always be better for very specific workloads but that won't be sufficient to keep them afloat what all the other workloads are moved to alternatives.
I think I saw an Oracle hardware certification the other day:
I'm sure my family are going to pay for that!
The only really worthwhile qualification for the database product is the OCM, for which you need to have an OCP first so total cost is all your money, as the OCP requires you take a qualifying course from oracle first and the OCM requires an additional 2 courses.
Courses are between 1500 and 2500 pounds and the OCM exam was about 1500 last time I looked, so all in around 7,000 to 9,000 pounds provided you pass first time. I'm not sure I will get that under the Christmas tree and frankly there are things I would rather have. The big advantage of the OCM is its recognised as a professional Qualification by some other countries so can help if you want to emigrate and don't have a degree (Or failed to get one (twice)).
What a sham/scam.
Certification is just an attempt at the protectionist guild system (as rightly dissed by Adam Smith in the Wealth of Nations); it is often a waste of time for busy people and only affordable to the off freelancers or generous employers, because the prices charged take the proverbial, and are no guarantee of better quality staff or better employment prospects. Oracle are one of the worst; for the Oracle database server you only need to be certified because the damned product interfaces are either deliberately or lazily a pig to use; Microsoft seriously shame Oracle for UI's even if its databases are less good. I'd personally opt to instead use PostgreSQL, where feasible, because the product, support tools, are a lot easier to use, and documentation is a lot better.
Re: What a sham/scam.
"Microsoft seriously shame Oracle for UI's "
That's because Oracle uses it's own Java crap. Even the Oracle installer requires Java!

CNN, BBC and Other Major News Outlets Feature Panthera's Video of a Snow Leopard Stealing a Camera Trap in Tajikistan
Panthera and Fauna and Flora International's video of a snow leopard cub stealing a camera trap in Tajikistan was recently posted on a number of major news outlets' websites, including CNN, BBC, Daily Mail, The Huffington Post,
An Unexpected Camera Trap Thief in Tajikistan (Caught on Camera!)
It's no secret that big cats, just like their distant cousin, the domestic house cat, are characteristically curious, particularly when it comes to Panthera's camera traps. Wild cats and other wildlife are naturally intrigued (and sometimes even spooked) when they pass through camera traps' infrared sensors and trigger flashes of light, or spot the glowing, red light emitted by some of Panthera's camera trap models. Most of the time, these cats react by taking a closer, quizzical look at the camera traps, and sometimes they sniff, paw and even 'mark' or spray Panthera's camera traps to identify their territories.
Curious Cats Caught on Camera
In March, Panthera's snow leopard scientists placed 20 camera traps throughout Mongolia's rugged Tost Mountains in hopes of capturing new data that would inform Panthera's snow leopard conservation initiatives. Today, we are excited to share a number of our 'best of' Spring camera trap photos.
Although the snow leopard has been given the nickname of 'Asia's Mountain Ghost,' Panthera's scientists captured many images of not-so-shy snow leopards demonstrating their characteristic cat curiosity by examining the camera traps with their eyes, noses, and tongues.
Watch the camera trap videos of these snow leopards in action.
Oct. 13-19: Re-airing of 'A Voice for the Animals' Featuring Panthera CEO Dr. Alan Rabinowitz
Panthera CEO Dr. Alan Rabinowitz Receives Lifetime Achievement Award at Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival
Panthera is proud to share that Dr. Alan Rabinowitz has just received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Conservation at the prestigious Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This award recognizes Dr. Rabinowitz's decades of tireless work to survey the world's last wild places, with the goal of preserving wild habitats for some of the world's most endangered mammals – including tigers and jaguars.
Camera Trap Video: Snow Leopard Mother and Cubs in South Gobi, Mongolia
Panthera's snow leopard scientists have just retrieved this video of a snow leopard mother and her two cubs investigating a camera trap in the Tost Mountains of South Gobi, Mongolia. Based on the size of the cubs, our scientists estimate that they were at least born in the spring of 2010. Our scientists hope to collar these snow leopards in the coming months to learn more about their habitat use, breeding habits, survival, interactions with local human communities, and other valuable data.
September 19, 2011 – Wild Cat Conservation News
In order to provide Panthera's community of wild cat enthusiasts with the most comprehensive and up to date news about issues and events within the wild cat conservation field, we are launching a new, daily 'Wild Cat Conservation News' blog series. Each day, we will aggregate and share a summary of the most relevant and breaking news impacting the 37 species of wild cats around the world.
Panthera Featured in New York Times: 'A Forbidding Kingdom of Snow Leopards'
The New York Times has just released an article entitled A Forbidding Kingdom of Snow Leopards that features Panthera's conservation initiatives (specifically in Mongolia where Panthera works with the Snow Leopard Trust) to protect the snow leopard.
WCS Takes First Camera Trap Images of Snow Leopards in Afghanistan
Scientists with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) have captured the first camera trap images of snow leopards in the mountainous region of northeastern Afghanistan's Wakhan Corridor, as reported by the Environment News Service. These images serve as a sign of hope for the endangered snow leopard in Afghanistan and throughout Asia, where they are currently estimated to number between 3,500-7,000.
Traveling to Tajikistan in a TEAmbulance to Support Panthera
One of Panthera's ultimate fans, Jeremy Aylmer, has just embarked on an ambulance & tea odyssey from London to the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan in a TEAmbulance, and is working to raise £2,000 to support Panthera's wild cat conservation programs along the way! Jeremy and the TEAmbulance team will drive across Europe and along the ancient Silk Road, crossing multiple borders, scorching deserts and majestic mountains, all the while making friends and sharing cups of tea in typical English fashion with those they meet on the journey. After reaching their destination, the TEAmbulance team will donate their much-needed ambulance to a local hospital in Tajikistan.

Looking for a beach vacation? Let us help you find the right spot.More
Frequent, comfortable, and dependable long-distance buses connect Buenos Aires with cities all over Argentina and with neighboring countries. Bus travel can be substantially cheaper than flying, and far less prone to delays. Both locals and visitors often choose overnight sleeper services for trips up to 12 hours long.
Most bus companies have online timetables; some allow you to buy tickets online or by phone. Web sites also list puntos de venta (sales offices)—in many cases you don't need to go to the terminal to buy tickets, though you can usually buy them there right up until departure time. Be prepared to pay cash. During January, February, and July, buy your ticket as far in advance as possible—a week or more, at least—and arrive at the terminal extra early.
Most long-distance buses depart from Buenos Aires's Terminal de Omnibus de Retiro, which is often referred to as the Terminal de Retiro or simply Retiro. Ramps and stairs from the street lead you to a huge concourse where buses leave from more than 60 numbered platforms. There are restrooms, restaurants, public phones, lockers, news kiosks, and a tourist office on this floor.
You buy tickets from the boleterías (ticket offices) on the upper level; there are also two ATMs here. Each company has its own booth; they're arranged in zones according to the destinations served, which makes price comparisons easy. The terminal's excellent Web site lists bus companies by destination, including their phone number and ticket booth location. Keep your wits about you in the terminal: pickpockets and bag-snatchers often prey on distracted travelers.
All long-distance buses have toilets, air-conditioning, videos, and snacks. The most basic service is semi-cama, which has minimally reclineable seats and often takes a little longer than more luxurious services. It's worth paying the little extra for coche cama, sometimes called ejecutivo, where you get large, business-class-style seats and, sometimes, pillows and blankets. The best rides of all are on the fully reclineable seats of cama suite services, which are often contained in their own little booth. Bus attendants and free drinks are other perks.
On services between nearby towns, you can usually choose between regular buses (común) and air-conditioned or heated services with reclining seats (diferencial). The companies that run local services rarely have Web sites—you buy tickets direct from the bus station.

Search Results for 'driving'Page: 1 of 4 | (25 symbols have been found )
To dream that you are driving a vehicle symbolizes the road you're traveling through life. This dream is telling you about the manner through which you are traveling. If you can't see the road ahead of you, then you may not have direction in your own life. You don't have ambition. If the road is winding, this suggests that you are having difficulty reaching your dreams.
To dream that someone is driving you indicates that you are reliant on the person driving. You have lost power over your own decisions and follow others instead. If you are driving from the passenger side, then you are attempting to take charge of the direction of your life. You are starting to make your own choices.
To dream that you are driving a cab or bus indicates manual work with few chances to move up in the business.
To dream that you are driving in reverse indicates that you are facing challenges that seem to be holding you back. If you drive backward into water, then your feelings are keeping you from being successful.
To dream that you are driving drunk suggests that you have given up control in your life. Somebody is controlling you.
To dream that you drive off a cliff indicates that the more you achieve in life, the tougher it will be to hang onto that success. You may sense that getting promoted will be a double-edged sword. You could also be sensing that it's almost impossible to please everyone all the time.
To dream about going up a driveway indicates that your travels have come to an end. This dream also suggests safety and tranquility. It can also indicate your journey to reaching a sense of harmony within yourself and your faith.
An accelerator, gas pedal, or throttle on a boat/airplane, can imply that you have the ability to attain a goal without the assistance of others. However, if the accelerator is jammed or broken and you lost control of it, the dream may be cautioning you against acquiring an addiction or dependency that may have a negative influence on your life.
Dreaming about an air bag symbolizes the presence of protection and safety at the moment in your waking life.
Alternatively, if you dream about seeing the airbag deploy in a vehicle, it is a sign of warning that you're about to get hit with a major setback if you continue the current pace in your life.
To dream of being chased is commonly in response to something in your waking life that you fear. It is often an emotion of some sort. If this is the case, get up the nerve to turn and face your pursuer. What facial expression do they have? This often reads the feeling that you are trying not to acknowledge. If they look worried, perhaps you have been trying not to fret about something in your life. This dream tells you that you must embrace this concern and deal with it head on. You must worry, and you must accept.
In some rather rare dreams, your assailant can symbolize an actual person in your life. This person has made you feel insecure in one way or another, and until now, you have simply run from them; ignored them; avoided them. This dream is telling you that you can't do this anymore. This person is taking an emotional toll on you, one that you can no longer afford to tolerate. Action must be taken.
Dreams of being chased like this are often recurring nightmares. This means that the sleeping individual wakes up before the awful dream had a chance to end and reveal its secrets. The person goes on to dream it again and again usually, until the subconscious gets its point across. This is because the information is vital to that particular individual's life. Once they become brave and confront their attacker, the dream will generally cease.
If the situation is reversed and it is you who is doing the chasing, this simply means that you are going after your goals. In the dream, ask yourself, 'What am I chasing?' It could be a taxi cab, a bus or anything else for that matter. If you manage to catch it, this foretells luck in your financial and business oriented situation. In most cases however, the dreamer does not catch their target. This simply means that they feel as though they aren't good enough to attain it. They harbor feelings of ill confidence and despair. While they are typically rather intense, such dreams of pursuit are necessary for mental stability. When something is bugging you, your subconscious will tell you, whether you want to hear it or not, so try listening to it keenly always helps.
A dream about driving a Go-Kart represents personal freedom with the goal being enjoyment and the testing of personal boundaries and abilities. There is an element of competition present but is still indicative of competition at an enjoyable friendly level.
Headlights in a dream indicate an approaching problem. You may see warning signs in your daily life which have caused you to fear an impending conflict.
To be caught in the headlights in a dream means that you are feeling vulnerable to a problem which appears unstoppable. This may also indicate a fear of being under the spotlight such as an upcoming speech or an important exam.
To dream of being at the helm of a ship symbolizes a feeling of power and control over the direction your life is taking.
Dreaming of a friend or family member at the helm of your ship means that person has a strong influence over your life.
To dream that you have taken the helm of someone else's ship indicates that you see they have a need for guidance and advice.
Key Chain
To dream of a key chain is a symbol of opportunities about to become available to you. Note the type of decoration on the key chain - a sentimental object may mean the opportunity to succeed with a close colleague or family member.
Dreaming of a key chain dangling in a lock suggests a sudden surge of courage and the prospect of exciting adventure.
To dream of a kick represents a release of pent up energy. This energy may be used for good, such as kicking a winning goal. If you focus your skill and plan ahead you will meet success. Your energy may also be dangerous, such as kicking in anger. It is important to recognize the type of energy which you are holding back and determine the best way to control and focus this energy toward a beneficial path.Back to Top

Toyota FT-1 Concept Revealed
Only every once in a while do you get a true surprise debut at a motor show these days; the information is normally leaked a few days before in most cases. Meet the Toyota FT-1 concept.
Toyota FT-1 Concept Debuted
The FT-1 stands for Future Toyota 1. The FT-1 was debuted at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. There are rumors that this could be the Supra concept/replacement of the future. We can only hope this is true one day, as the FT-1 is a beauty.
Looking at the design of the car it looks like a beefed up version of the FT-86 concept that spawned the GT86, you can also see elements of Nissan's 370Z, Lexus' LF-A and a taste of a formula one nose cone.
Alex Shen, Calty's Studio Chief Designer said in the press release "Our team was heavily influenced by Toyota's sports car past, especially Celica and Supra, and we sought to capture some of that history. It is an aggressive, track-focused sports car concept with a presence that has been amplified for shock and awe".
Place of Business
'Place of business' is how Toyota describe the interior of the FT-1. I love this idea; the interior has more of a fighter jet feel than a car interior feel. It is very snug inside and the driver benefits from a colored heads up display and a Formula-1 style steering wheel which is very nice indeed.
Amazingly those of you who own Gran Turismo 6 can actually download the FT-1 concept and take the car for a test drive yourself. I love the world we live in today!

100 Facebook Marketing Tips (4/4)
This is the fourth and final part in my series of 100 Facebook Marketing Tips. It comes in at a total of 104 tips. Make sure to Tweet, Like or even subscribe to this blog if you found the tips useful.
The topics covered in each part are;
Part 1 – Before you start, Page Basics & Newsfeed Marketing
Part 2 – Edgerank Tips and Facebook Fans
Part 3 – Community & Page Management
Part 4 – Facebook Features, Ad's, Measurement and F-commerce
VII. Facebook Features
78. Facebook Groups
These are useful for communicating with groups of less than 250 people. This could be a focus group made up of internal and external people or as Tommy Walker suggests used to bring your most loyal customers together to provide them with exclusive content.
79. Facebook Search
Facebook search is rubbish. If searching for brand pages I suggest using Google. For searching content within Facebook, such as brand mentions use Social Mention or Samepoint – sometimes (and I stress sometimes)these will throw up mentions that occur on pages of people who's privacy settings have been locked down.
80. Facebook Places
Places allow fans to check into real world locations using their smartphone. E-marketer suggests use of social networks on Smartphones will double between 2009 and 2015. A JiWire study listed the top reasons for accessing location based services was to find Store Locations (57%), Points of Interest (51%), Checking in (49%), Reviews (35%), Connect with Others (33%), Promo's & Coupons (27%) and to check Product Inventory (21%). The top reason to Check In was to avail of a deal or promotion. I think some locations are better suited to checking in, especially leisure (bars, clubs, gigs, cinema, restaurant) or tourist locations.
81. Facebook Check-In Deals
Check-In Deals offer fans deals for checking into your place of business. Four different types of deals can be offered such as discounts, group deals, or payments to a charity or good cause. I think the best type of deal is something money can't buy. Discounts reward everybody, but an exclusive, or hard to get item gives true fans a reason to check in, while if its quirky or interesting enough it may help convert the deal seekers into actual fans and customers of your business. Whatever the offer remember to keep it on brand!
82. Check In Deal Examples
Here's a post with 5 Check In Deals examples to give you some inspiration.
83. Facebook Credits
This is Facebook's very own currency, it's uses are growing month by month and if you sell on Facebook this opens up dealing with International customers without the hassle of exchange rates. So how can you incorporate Credits into your business? Here's 5 examples from earlier this year.
VIII. Facebook Ads
84. Sponsored Stories
Sponsored Stories achieve a higher click through rate, and cost less than normal ads. This could be due to their placing above the normal ad format, people are unfamiliar with the format so click them, and less brands are using the format so they are cheaper. In the future Facebook will launch new ad formats, usually after testing their performance on a small scale. Facebook will want these new ad formats to be successful. Therefore, when new formats are launched, why not strike while the iron is hot and run a campaign to take advantage of high CTR and low costs? If you don't other brands will.
85. Facebook Ad Tips
This post from Wildfire has 18 tips on boosting the performance of your advert while this post explains how to A/B test your Facebook ads
86. Dont Forget About Email, Search & Social Media
To ensure your Facebook campaign is successful make sure you look to a wider marketing mix than just Facebook. Online you have email, search and other social formats (blogs, which are very under rated, Twitter, Youtube etc.) but also look offline in traditional media – yep it still works. Traditional media can build awareness, but look at Facebook for maintaining momentum and engagement over a longer period. Here's how a small Irish firm, Glenisk (client), used Radio and Press to build awareness, Facebook to maintain engagement over a 9 week period and finally TV to show the campaign output. This co-ordinated approach delivered an increase in sales of 35%.
IX. Measuring Facebook Performance
87. Link Shares
Just a little trick to measure how many times a link you shared has been shared on Facebook. Go to the search bar and type in the name of the link, a menu should drop down with the amount of times it's been shared. From the example below you can see how a Youtube video called Damn You Dorothy by King Kong Company has been shared 303 times on Facebook. I usually use this to see how many shares links I've posted get. I'm not sure if this works for links in general or just on links posted to pages you admin.
88. 8 ways To measure Your Page
Here's a post i wrote earlier this year with eight ways of measuring your Page's performance. It's too detailed to give an overview here, but read it and understand why just measuring fan numbers is not the way forward.
89. Ways to Measure The Value of Social Media
This is from Econsultancy and covers the wider social media field, but is still worth reading.
90. Facebook ROI
The ROI of Facebook is an interesting discussion. It's very hard to derive a financial return, unless you are selling on Facebook, or online to track where visitors came from (something similar can be said about TV, Print, Radio etc). Facebook can offer metrics such as the amount of fans, amount of feedback (likes and clicks), traffic sources, tab views etc. But how you measure what the ROI is will differ from business to business, and may take in metrics not available on Facebook (ie. traffic to website) maybe metrics not online eg. an in-store offer available to Facebook fans. The best place to start is by getting to know Facebook Insights (download an official guide here PDF) and identify what measures will work best for your goals.
91. Facebook ROI 2
I do think some brands look at this the wrong way around. TV, Radio & Press give you direct access to eyeballs (so too do Facebook ad's), but look at the bigger long term picture. If you grow a page to 100,000 fans, that's a massive amount of people, who are more than likely already customers, and you have direct access to them. There's a lot of benefits to your brand in that, such as reduced customer service costs, reduced marketing costs, free customer research etc. But also a massive competitive advantage in being able to keep your customers engaged with your brand 52 weeks of the year. I can't think of another medium that offers this at such a low cost. Here's another, very detailed approach, to Facebook ROI.
92. Social Media KPI's
This research gives a list of KPI's for different sectors to measure their listening and engagement programme's. How important is listening and engaging with consumers? In the study, conducted by Forrester on behalf of Dell, 50% of respondents noted an increase in overall business success by listening and responding to social media queries .
X. Facebook Commerce
93. How many People have Shopped on Facebook?
This study released in February 2011, conducted amongst 533 Facebook-ers who are fans of brands, quotes 1 in 4 fans have made a purchase on a Facebook page. It seems relatively high as Facebook Commerce is still a new concept, but remember not all Facebook users are fans of brands. Based on the research in Point 44 this would mean somewhere between 50 and 69 million fans have made purchases.
94. Facebook Friends Send Referrals
70% of American Facebook users were more likely to buy a product or visit a store based on a referral from a Facebook friend. Referrals might also come indirectly too, as this study shows 13% of respondents had booked their holidays after seeing friends holidays snaps on Facebook. This referral traffic underlines the importance of keeping fans engaged and entertained, in other words to give them reasons to refer you.
95. Google & Bing Send Referrals to Websites
In May 2011 Google and Bing accounted for 36% of traffic to retail websites such as Amazon, Apple and Tesco. Facebook accounted for 8%, but that figure is growing.
96. Shopping Online Starts With Search
In a study of 1,004 adults only 2% admitted to beginning their online shopping on Facebook – by asking their own group of friends for a recommendation (no mention of a brand page influence here). The top answers were 44% for a search engine, 33% for a retailers website and 20% for the manufacturers website.
97. Social Shopping
Although a JWT study slightly contradicts this.The report on F-commerce found that amongst Millenials (aged 20 – 33) 74% like to shop with friends, 50% will post a status update when they find a product they like, 55% are more likely to make a purchase if a friend has recommended it online and 53% have asked the opinion of friends on Facebook about a purchase. In the survey 67% of Americans and 45% of British respondents consult their social network while out shopping using their smartphone.
98. How often do shoppers research on Facebook?
On a Likert scale 29% admitted to always, often or sometimes researching on social network for shopping ideas, while 71% rarely or never do this. While low, I would expect this figure of 29% to grow as F-commerce grows.
99. A Reason to Shop on Facebook
I've met with brands who don't understand why their thousands and thousands of Facebook Fans account for a very small percentage of their online sales. The answer often lies in the fact these fans have no real reason to shop on Facebook, especially if there's an established online store and a decent existing offline distribution network (ie. stocked in lots of offline retailers). If you want to see Facebook generate sales look at ways of attracting fans to the platform – and it doesn't always have to be about deals or discounts either.
100. Think About Exclusivity
Exclusivity was mentioned before in terms of content, but it's also the case in Fcommerce. Use exclusives as incentives to spread the word not just through deals, offers, flash sales, but also look at fan firsts, new product launches, Facebook only products or time specific stores eg. a Valentines Shop.
101. Think About Making Shopping Social
As we saw earlier Facebook is the king of shared content so make it easy for fans to share your content this includes reviews, like buttons on items, voting on items, ask fans to share their purchases, ask their opinions etc. In other words how can you make online shopping as social as possible? Where the fans are using Facebook to promote the items, indirectly, to their friends? This will differ for many businesses, but here's a bunch of opinions on what does and doesn't work in F-commerce
102. Facebook Isn't Trusted
There are issues preventing a rapid growth in F-commerce and most revolve around secuity and privacy. In a JWT study 8 out of 10 respondents worry about the privacy implications of shopping directly on Facebook, the same number don't think it's a secure platform, while 7 out of 10 respondents wouldn't use an application on Facebook to make purchases for fear their data is being shared with 3rd parties. Not good reading, but totally understandable. Again I think give fans a reason to buy on Facebook, if they really really want to, they will. In the same survey 3 out of 10 respondents had logged into a retailers website using Facebook connect and 90% of those said they would somewhat or be very likely to browse the personalised recommendations. However 56% of respondents also feel violated on seeing personalised recommendations or that big brother is watching (72%). It would seem even those who like personalised recommendations, don't like them all the time.
103. Innovative F-commerce Examples
Here's 10 of the Most Innovative F-commerce examples.
104. Off The Shelf Store's
There's a number of off the shelf applications for setting up a shop on Facebook. Owjo and Vendor Shop are two of the many out there. There's a list of other options, plus a detailed look at their features, here.
So there you have it my 100 Facebook Marketing Tips (well its actually 104, but hey who's counting?) If you have enjoyed the series why not tweet, like it or even subscribe to my blog.

Swollen rivers and debris-strewn streets in the northern Philippines are giving up even more bodies today.
The toll from flooding after a tropical storm is more than 284 dead or missing, while two new storms brewing in the Pacific threaten to complicate relief efforts. Authorities ordered extra police deployed to prevent looting in abandoned communities.
The National Disaster Coordinating Council says 246 people are confirmed dead with 38 missing. Officials appealed for international aid, warning they may not have enough resources to withstand the new storms.
