Winter on the North Shore means waves on the North Shore and boy did we get them this past week. We had an incredible eight day run of perfect, then way too big, then back to perfect waves up and down the north shore. Read more...

The scenic drive stretches from just north of Duluth to Two Harbors (22 miles?) but actually the beauty of the shore takes you all the way to Canada. There are some nice hotels along the way: Lutsen, Bluefin Bay, etc., which also have their own nice restaurants. There are countless State Parks as well and an abundance of fishing, bald eagles and wildlife. If you like to hike, two gems right off the shore are Oberg Mountain and Eagle Mountain (highest point in MN). Both offer breathtaking views always, but especially when fall colors are peaking. There is Split Rock Lighthouse, Palisade Head (be careful), Tettegouche, etc. Grand Marais is also a gem. Lots of shops and restaurants to choose from. The Dockside Fish Market (just down the hill on the right) offers good fresh fish as well as a variety of smoked. Take a drive up the side of the hill for another beautiful view. You can continue all the way to Canada if you like, with little gems all along the way. I have hiked and driven the shore countless times, and it never fails to calm my soul.

I am having a hair pulling stressful time trying to root my HTC One Mini. I have tried following countless guides and videos and seem to get so far before it all fails and i have got to the stage where i think i am doing more damage than good. So i was looking for someone who could possibly remote root my phone for me.
So far i have manage to unlock the phone, get to the TWRP recovery menu and installed something. I tried to access SU, however got the no binary message. I followed another tutorial and some how ended up with SuperUser which i cant seem to get rid of.
I think i have got to the stage where i need to totally unroot (if i am even rooted) and lock the phone back up and start from scratch, again im scared to do this myself in case i make it any worse!
So if anyone can remotely help me or point me in the direction of a paid service i would be hugely appreciative!

A device that provides a combination of uses for animals comprising a grooming brush body (51) having bristles (53) affixed thereto. An upper surface (49) contains a claw scratching surface (57) that is affixed to surface (21). Track ring assembly (11) includes a lower surface (17), an inside peripheral sidewall (13) and an angled outside peripheral sidewall (19) which houses a freely movable ball (25) therein. Motor assembly (29) rotates a mushroom-shaped brush body (51) that simultaneously grooms the top and side of an animal's coat. The animal simply presses its body against the rotating brush for effective self-grooming.
1. A combined mechanically assisted animal exercise, amusement, self-grooming, and claw scratching device for animals comprising:
a) a housing forming a base and having a vertically oriented peripheral sidewall and an upper surface supported by said peripheral sidewall;
b) a shaft extending through said upper surface of said housing;
c) means for rotating said shaft disposed within said housing, said rotating means causing said shaft to rotate at a preselected rate of revolution;
d) rubbing means directly coupled to said shaft and disposed above said upper surface of said housing;
e) a continuous track encircling said vertically oriented peripheral sidewall, said continuous track having an open side to provide access to the interior thereof;
f) an object disposed within said continuous track and freely movable therein.
2. The device of claim 1, wherein said housing is circular in crosssection and said continuous track comprises an annular ring.
3. The device of claim 1, wherein said means for rotating said shaft comprises an electric motor.
4. The device of claim 1, wherein said rubbing means comprises a brush having a rigid body coupled to said shaft and a plurality of bristles extending outwardly from said rigid body.
5. The device of claim 4, wherein said brush having a rigid body is comprised of a mushroom-shape to enable side and top surface grooming simultaneously to an animal's coat.
6. The device of claim 1, further comprising a reversing switch connected to said means for rotating said shaft such that the direction of rotation of said shaft may be selectively reversed.
7. The device of claim 1, wherein said movable object is a freely moving ball.
8. The device of claim 1, wherein said upper surface of said housing includes means for permitting an animal to sink its claws therein and thus function as a scratching pad for an animal.
9. A combined mechanically assisted animal exercise, amusement, self-grooming, and claw scratching device for animals comprising:
a) a circular housing forming a base and having a vertically oriented peripheral sidewall supporting an upper circular planar surface, said upper surface of said housing including means for permitting an animal to sink its claws therein and thus function as a scratching pad for the animal;
b) a shaft extending through said upper surface of said housing and having an upper and a lower end;
c) a motor assembly disposed within said housing and directly coupled to said lower end of said shaft;
d) brushing means directly coupled inline to said upper end of said shaft; said brushing means being disposed above said upper surface of said housing;

g) an object disposed within said continuous track and freely movable therein.
10. The device of claim 9, wherein said brushing means is comprised of an upstanding mushroom-shaped configuration to allow simultaneous grooming of the side and top surfaces of an animal's coat.
11. The device of claim 9, wherein said movable object is a ball.
The present invention relates to animal amusement and self grooming devices, but more particularly to a combination mechanically assisted exercise, amusement, claw scratching, and self grooming device that mechanically rotates a grooming brush and orbits a ball shaped lure simultaneously.
Animal amusement devices have a movable object on, around, or within these devices. An animal is usually shown by demonstration the movable or rolling object in the device, whereby the animal's inherent instinct to attack, or play with a moving object is imminent however, these objects have to be initially moved by an animal or human hand to begin with, and unfortunately a good device becomes unused for long periods of time, and just occupies space. Stationary self grooming devices do not provide an incentive, or attraction to be used by an animal more frequently, as the animal has to provide all of the motions or efforts to utilize the devices as they were intended. Most animals will remain very appreciative for extended periods of time, when brushes are moved against their bodies by the human hand. Examples of devices more closely associated to the present invention's amusement and exercise concept are U.S. Pat. No. 4,722,299, by Mohr, Feb. 2, 1988, U.S. Pat. No. 5,269,261, by McCance, Dec. 14, 1993, both showing a device comprising a ball within a closed loop requiring an animal or human hand to initiate movement of the ball. Examples of devices more closely associated to the present invention's self grooming concept are U.S. Pat. No. 5,207,183, by Praschulk, May 4, 1993, U.S. Pat. No. 5,211,131, by Plyler, May 18, 1993, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,729,147, by Armbruster, Mar. 8, 1988, showing mechanical animal grooming devices that require the use of a human hand. The prior art does not teach on the use of a motivational means that would exhibit an irresistable incentive or attraction to an animal, whereby the animal would benefit from increased use of the device more often. The present invention takes advantage of the inherent instincts of an animal's response to a moving object, when the original movement of the object is not physically initiated by the animal, or human hand, but by the device. The prior art does not teach of combining an exercise, amusement, claw scratching, loose hair retention, and grooming device in one assembly, thereby eliminating the need to purchase one of each.
The present invention utilizes the phenomena of invisible or unseen forces of magnetic fields. In the space around every permanent or electromagnet, there exists a force field. A magnetic field is an example of the physical phenomenon known as a force field, inherent in every electric charge, and in the gravitational field around every mass, electromagnet, and permanent magnet. The present invention employs an electro-mechanical and magnetic apparatus. Generally, the present invention is comprised of a circular housing, having a top or carpeted platform surface, a mounting surface for a motor, and a vertical orientated side surface, which also serves as a base. The housing further includes a U-shaped lure ring surrounding the outside perimeter of the vertical orientated side surface. A motorized mechanism is concealed below the carpeted platform surface, comprised of a motor, motor output shaft, a sweep arm containing at least one permanent magnet at one end, possessing an inherent magnetic force field mounted at a right angle to the geared motor output shaft, further including the output shaft, extending sufficiently upward and exposed through the carpeted platform surface to accommodate a rubbing means or elongated brush mounted directly inline to the motor output shaft. The output shaft rotates one revolution clockwise and one revolution counterclockwise continuously. A motor reversing switch is activated by a cam affixed to the lowermost portion of the shaft output sweep arm, and the shaft output speed is preselected by a rheostat. The permanent magnet affixed at either end of the sweep arm causes a ball shaped lure containing a loose permanent magnet within its shell, to orbit back and forth within the partially exposed recess or cavity of the U-shaped ring. The U-shaped ring may be a permanent feature of the device or an accessory add-on feature. The lure ring may also contain a plain round ball, wherein the movement of the ball is initiated by the animal. A portion of the exposed recess or cavity of the U-shaped lure ring is sufficiently concealed with a cover to provide a hide and seek scenario of the lure ball. Predetermined output shaft speeds of one to 100 revolutions per minute may be preselected for a particular classification of animal, by adjusting an accessible potentiometer or rheostat mounted to the device.
It is therefore an object and advantage of the present invention to provide. a combined mechanically assisted, animal amusement, entertainment, exercise, claw scratching, loose hair and animal body debris containment, and self grooming stimulator device, that does not require an animal or human hand to initiate movement of the grooming brush or ball shaped lure, thereby producing a synergistic effect.
Another object is that the rotatable brush would simulate the movement of a human hand when brushing an animal.
Another object is to combine mechanically assisted animal amusement, exercise, claw scratching, loose hair containment, arid self grooming concepts into one device, thereby eliminating the need for multiple purchases of single use devices.
Another object is to have an animal expend its surplus energy more often, thereby developing improved muscle tone, alertness, coordination, a frequently groomed coat, and better sleeping habits.
Another object is that upon activation of the device, a cat will always respond to the activity presented by the device.
Another object is that the device would relieve the animal from boredom, by providing amusement, or grooming of itchy skin, thereby saving areas of household furniture from damage, loose hair, and soiling.
Another object is that an enticement to use a device, such as catnip, would no longer be required.
Another object is that the rubbing medium and claw scratching carpeted floor serve to contain loose animal hair and debris within the device, thereby protecting the living environment from unnecessary animal hair, body dirt, and claw damage.
Another object is that the motorized grooming device can be made suitable for any preselected classification of animal, such as domesticated animals, and animals in a zoo habitat.
Other objects and advantages may be readily determined by the following descriptions.
FIG. 1a is a plan top view of the present invention showing a circular enclosed housing concealing an electromechanical magnetic apparatus in hidden lines. Encircling the perimeter of the housing is a partially exposed U-shaped lure ring containing a ball.
FIG. 1b is an exploded plan side view or a U-shaped lure ring and circular enclosed housing in cross section, displaying the component parts or an electromechanical magnetic apparatus and grooming brush. The U-shaped lure ring illustrated in hidden lines, shows its final position relative to the circular enclosed housing.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an alternate metallic sweep arm of FIGS. 1a and 1b, void of permanent magnets, and a magnet containing lure ball having a strong attraction to the metallic sweep arm.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another alternate sweep arm of a preselected material, containing one permanent magnet affixed at one end, having a strong attraction to a thin metallic lure ball.
FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of still another alternate sweep arm comprised of a permanent bar magnet affixed directly to a cutaway view of a motor shaft.
FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of an alternate embodiment of FIG. 1a.
FIG. 1a is a top plan view of the present invention showing the various components and their relative position to each other.
FIG. 1b is an exploded side plan view of the device housing and lure ring in cross section showing the various components and their relative positions to each other. FIGS. 1a and 1b show a circular housing 14 comprised of a carpeted platform surface 10 for animal claw scratching and loose hair retention, supported by a circular mounting ledge 12. The lure ring body 42 is depicted as an add-on accessary (though it may be made permanent), and rests on circular positioning ring ledge 15 which is part of housing 14. The lure ring 42 is comprised of a closed circuit U-shaped trough or cavity 23 having a partial opening 22 exposing the interior of the U-shaped trough or cavity 23. A sufficient portion of the opening 22 has a cover 16 for concealment of a ball shaped lure 24 containing a loose secondary permanent magnet 26 within its shell. The ball shaped lure 24 is confined within the U-shaped trough or cavity 23 containment walls 18 and 20, and provides a hide and seek scenario for an animal when it orbits under the concealment cover 16 portion. A motorized mechanism is concealed below the carpeted platform surface 10 and is comprised of an internally geared motor, fastened 52 to base 54, receiving electrical power from voltage source 60, via transformer/plug 58, through reduced voltage wiring 56, to an adjustable speed controlling rheostat 40, to motor reversing switch 38, and then to motor 30 producing predetermined revolutions per minute. The motor 30 is internally geared to motor output shaft 32, which in turn rotates a sweep arm 34 mounted at a right angle to output shaft 32, and rotates at a predetermined speed. The sweep arm 34 has a primary permanent magnet 36 affixed at both of its ends, and through interaction of the primary permanent magnet 36 possessing an inherent magnetic force field, and the secondary loose permanent magnet 26, within the lure ball 24 possessing a similar force field, an orbiting spin, and hop of the lure ball 24 takes place around the confines of the U-shaped ring 42. The motor output shaft 32 also extends upwards, and out through the carpeted platform surface 10, exposing a sufficient amount of shaft, having a partial flat surface, wherein it mates within the recessed opening 50, also having a flat spot shown in hidden lines for easy insertion or removal without the use of a set screw. The output shaft 32 rotates the circular rubbing medium or brush 27 at predetermined revolutions per minute. An adjustable speed controlling rheostat 40 is employed to provide a preselected RPM for the movable object, or lure ball 24, and the rubbing medium 27. The rheostat shaft 41 is accessible through the bottom of base 54, and is slotted for RPM adjustment with a screwdriver. A double pole, double throw motor reversing micro switch 38, located adjacent to the motor 30, provides one revolution clockwise, and one revolution counterclockwise of the movable object 24, and the rubbing medium 27 simultaneously. The motor reversing switch 38 is activated every revolution by a switch cam 39 permanently affixed to, and under sweep arm 34. The switch cam 39 contacts a thin flexible blade 37 of sufficient length, allowing the motor gear train to coast without passing the blade 37 before reversing rotation, thus avoiding gear shock and switch shock. An animal, such as a cat, can self groom with the grain, and against the grain of its coat every alternating revolution of the brushing medium 27, thereby insuring loose hair and body debris being removed and having its skin surface massaged. The rheostat 40 can be adjusted for the rubbing medium speed by a pet owner, more suitable to their animal. The rubbing medium 27 can be removed by lifting upwards from the output shaft 32 if simultaneous movement of the lure ball 24 and the rubbing medium 27 are not to be used for a particular reason. The exposed output shaft 32 should have a cover installed to protect an animal from injury. Obviously, different shaped rubbing mediums or brushes can be employed. The lure ball can also be removed if desired by pulling it through the restricting opening of the lure trough 22. The rheostat shaft 41 can be adjusted for higher output shaft speeds. Upon a thorough testing of applicant's prototype, output shaft speeds of one to 100 RPM revealed the following: the rubbing medium or brush rotational speeds between ten and twenty RPM seem to be the most satisfactory to cats. Movable object or lure ball orbiting speeds of one to five RPM produce a consistent spinning of the lure ball as it orbits the confines of the lure ring. Lure ball speeds of six to ten RPM produce an intermittent spin and slight hop movement. Lure ball speeds of between ten to thirty RPM seem to produce the wildest gyrations, combining various spinning rates and an extreme hopping of the lure ball which is particularly exciting to cats. The noticable hopping effect suggests making the lure ring confining recess, or cavity deeper, allowing more unrestricted height for the hopping event. Higher rotational speeds of the sweep arm with the brush removed, no longer moves the lure ball at a matching speed, but coaxes the lure ball to orbit about ten to twenty RPM by the reaction influence of the primary and secondary permanent magnet force fields and produces similar lure ball gyrations. On final analysis, the lure ball functions effectively at about the same RPM as the rubbing medium when used simultaneously. An accessory lure 44, affixed to a stiff flexible spring 46, and extending within recess 48 of brush top surface 28 provides an additional source of amusement for an animal. Combining animal amusement, exercise, grooming, and claw scratching features of good quality to one device eliminates the necessity of purchasing single purpose devices, thereby saving the consumer considerable expense.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an alternate metallic sweep arm 81, void of primary permanent magnets with a ninety degree bend 83 at one end, a cutaway portion of motor output shaft 79, and a shaft hub and set screw 77. The loose permanent magnet 85 within the non-metallic shell of the lure ball 87 is strongly attracted to the ninety degree bend 83 of the metallic sweep arm 81. This alternate eliminates several permanent magnets.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another alternate sweep arm 82 made of a preselected material with a permanent magnet 91 affixed to one end of sweep arm 82, a cutaway portion of motor shaft 79, and a shaft hub with set screw 77. The permanent magnet 91 is strongly attracted to a thin metallic lure ball 93. This alternate also eliminates several permanent magnets.
FIG. 4 is a cutaway view in perspective of a permanent bar magnet 97 and typical mounting method, whereby it is press fitted or epoxy cemented to a cutaway portion of motor shaft 79. The permanent magnet 97 is strongly attracted to the thin metallic lure ball 93 of FIG. 3. This alternate employs a permanent magnet directly to the motor output shaft.
FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of an alternate embodiment of FIG. 1a of a combined mechanically assisted, exercise, amusement, self-grooming, and claw scratching device for animals comprising a circular housing 11 having a lower surface forming a base 17, a vertically oriented inside peripheral sidewall 13 extending from the lower surface, and an outwardly angled outside peripheral sidewall 19 also extending from the lower surface, thereby completing a continuous ring shaped track. Circular housing 11 further includes a movable object, such as a ball 25 employed between the inside 13 and outside 19 peripheral sidewalls, and rests upon the lower surface forming a base 17. The underside of base 17 is provided with a short ridge 69 shown in hidden lines, extending downwards to prevent housing 11 from sliding. The top vertical edge of inside peripheral sidewall 13 has an angled surface or ledge 21 extending briefly inwards towards the track center. Surface 21 provides a platform for affixing an upper circular planar surface 49 by heat sealing. Planar surface 49 extends substantially beyond the inside peripheral vertical sidewall surface 13, whereby the overhanging portion of planar surface 49 provides an upper partial concealment surface for a hide and seek scenario of ball 25. The overhang provides substantial side oriented viewing of ball 25, and will prevent the ball from being removed from the confines of the track by an animal, as the outer edge of planar surface 49 and upper edge of outside peripheral sidewall 19 present a slightly smaller opening than the outside diameter of ball 25, thereby trapping the ball. The hide and seek scenario presented by a lure or ball, promotes considerably longer and varied play action from an animal, than a totally exposed ball. A motor assembly 29 is disposed within housing 11 and is affixed to the underside of planar surface 49 by screw 45 passing through opening 47, and threadably secured to threaded openings 33 on motor assembly 29. Motor assembly flatted output shaft 31 passes through opening 35 and directly couples to flatted opening 43 of brush body 51 above planar surface 49. Planar surface 49 employs a raised ridge 55 throughout its perimeter edge and serves as a finish means for a claw scratching material surface edge. A double pole, double throw motor reversing switch with an off position 61 provides safe low voltage power to miniature motor 67 via wiring 65. Slidable switch button 59 furnishes power to rotate motor output shaft 31 clockwise, or counterclockwise from 120 volt power source 73, via low voltage converter/plug 71, and wiring 63 to switch 61. Cross-over reversing wiring under switch is not shown. The rubbing medium, or grooming brush body 51 is mushroom shaped, whereby it can groom the side and top surfaces of an animal's coat simultaneously. The protruding bristles 53 substantially cover the entire surface of the brush body 51 and are of sufficient stiffness to pull the loose hair and body debris from an animal's coat. Applicant has found that revolutions of the brush are satisfactory between 10 and 20 rpm. The miniature motor assembly is maintenance-free. This applicant's prototype device employs a motor rated at 24 volts DC at 26 rpm, but is operated with a 12 volt DC converter, thereby producing 13 rpm. This particular motor assembly produces substantial torque, and can be repeatedly stalled by a closed hand placed around the brush with no adverse affects to the motor or heavy duty gear-train. This miniature motor assembly has proved to be very reliable for over ten months of use and mis-use. Not one of this applicant's three cats have been able to stall the brush. The motor body is cool to the touch after a period of grooming has taken place and the 50 milliamp converter/plug is slightly warm to the touch.
Thus it has been shown that the combined mechanically assisted animal exercise, amusement, self-grooming, and claw scratching stimulator can perform all of the objectives as outlined above. Many other variations are possible. For example, it would be obvious to those already skilled in the art that may consider a ball shaped brush, or several brushes, or the use of sensors such as heat or motion to activate the device automatically, or electronic sound synthesizers. While the above descriptions may contain many specific details, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, but rather as examples of embodiments or modifications, herein detailed in accordance with the descriptive requirements of law. It should be understood that the details are to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Online retailers can reduce the number of transactions they must manually review by comparing key pieces of customer information with records kept by companies that specialize in collecting consumer data.
When it comes to online fraud, most small Internet retailers tend to act like an uninsured motorist: they know something could happen to them, but if they just hope hard enough, perhaps it won't.
In reality, there are some simple "defensive driving" steps retailers can take, regardless of their size or budget. They can learn how consumers can protect themselves from fraud and pass on that information. And they can improve customer authentication using third-party data. That will help online retailers approve transactions with more confidence and avoid the triple whammies of fraud losses, chargebacks and brand damage.
Why are small businesses at such high risk for fraud?
Let's be clear, all merchants are at risk for fraudulent activity, not just small businesses. In the most recent 2013 CyberSource Online Fraud Report it was estimated that total U.S. online revenue losses reached $3.5 billion dollars. Unfortunately, it's not hard to see why; criminals have become increasingly clever in their techniques, such as triangulation fraud, which is one of the most complex and difficult to catch.
A triangulation scam involves a thief using an intricate method of purchasing an expensive item from one online retailer using a stolen credit card, and then going to another site like eBay to resell the item to an unsuspecting individual. The transactions happen so fast that neither the original Internet merchant nor the second site purchaser realize the product was bought with a stolen card. There's just no time to do checks and balances in the merchant's back end.
This fraud is often perpetrated with an additional twist: the product isn't purchased by the criminal (with stolen payment credentials) until the legitimate consumer places an order on a fraudulent web site or posting in an online marketplace. Not only does the merchant get a fraud chargeback, but also the legitimate consumer is added to the blacklist as a fraudster because her address and name are associated with that lost product and chargeback.
Small retailers have very little time and resources to adequately prepare for this type of fraud. They are typically spread thin in staffing, with a customer service agent or treasurer bearing the onerous fraud-prevention duty. Until chargebacks become severe, fraud doesn't get much attention and, even then, the knee-jerk reaction is to reject too many good transactions and leave money on the table.
Educating customers on how to protect themselves
The responsibility for stemming the growth of online fraud does not entirely fall on the merchant; consumers definitely share in this duty.
Online banking, mobile apps, virtual check deposit and paperless statements provide a great convenience to consumers when conducted properly, but there are risks. If consumers provide their payment information or personal identity to a nefarious source they can spend years digging themselves out of a mess of identity theft or account takeover. Consumers need to utilize sufficiently strong and diverse passwords, shop online only with credit cards (avoid using debit cards that might be used to drain your bank account), check their statements regularly, and promptly report irregular activity to their card issuer.
Verifying identity
Despite the best efforts from both merchants and consumers, fraud will still happen. When you consider the limited staffing at most smaller businesses, it is so important to automate the consumer authentication processes that flags suspicious orders and reduces the number of costly manual reviews.
Small online businesses can easily implement a third-party API that feeds directly into an existing review platform. Using third-party customer information enables manual review specialists to easily find data and make more accurate decisions about the validity of transactions. The most common and easiest data to pull are phone number type, e-mail address match, and address activity. By matching key data elements to an identity, a retailer can look for variations like an e-mail or phone that does not match back to the consumer's identity. This is most likely a fraudster who has stolen a consumer's identity and is trying to get a retailer to verify an order by phone or email to an e-mail that does not belong to the legitimate consumer.
Some third-party data providers offer an identity score, which brings together various credentials and is weighted differently for different types of online businesses. It's also possible to create a master white list that includes customers whose transactions don't require any review at all (assuming there are no indications of account takeover, such as a change in shipping address or payment credentials). Utilizing an identity score can greatly expedite manual review, and keep the best customers happy with a seamless and timely shopping experience.
A true data partner will work with a small retailer to build a customizable API that fits the retailer's needs and budget. Ultimately, the result will be fewer transactions that need to be pushed to manual review, and those that are will be assessed much faster.
Small online retailers should consider proactive fraud-prevention tactics, even if resource allocation might suggest otherwise. Like auto insurance, doing without it can end up costing more in the end.

More than a million British youngsters being bullied online every day
Charity behind survey calls for thorough regulation of social network sites
Emily Dugan
Emily Dugan is Social Affais Editor for The Independent, i and Independent on Sunday. She was previously a news reporter for The Independent on Sunday. Her investigations into human trafficking have twice been awarded Best Investigative Article at the Anti-Slavery Day Media Awards and her human rights journalism was shortlisted for the Gaby Rado Memorial prize at the 2012 Amnesty Media Awards. Emily is on sabbatical until March 2015
Wednesday 02 October 2013
More than a million young people are subjected to extreme online bullying every day in Britain, according to the biggest survey of internet abuse.
The explosion of social networking sites means seven out of 10 13-22 year-olds have now been cyber-bullied, a survey by the national anti-bullying charity Ditch The Label has found.
The growing problem now affects an estimated 5.43 million young people, with girls and boys equally likely to be targeted. Facebook was the most common place for it to occur, with young people twice as likely to be bullied there than on any other social network. More than half of its users said they had been victimised on the site at some point, compared to 28 per cent of Twitter users and 26 per cent of those on Ask.fm.
More than 10,000 young people were asked about their experiences of abuse over the internet and asked to rate its severity. One in five said they experienced bullying every day at a level which they rated eight or more out of 10.
Liam Hackett, who founded the anti-bullying charity Ditch the Label after being a victim of bullying himself, said: "Historically bullying went on in the classroom and it stopped when you got home, but now there's no escape for young people."
He added: "Cyber-bullying is seriously damaging the self-esteem and the future prospects of young people and is an issue we cannot afford to overlook. Social networks have a moral obligation and a duty of care to their users to implement tight mechanisms of flagging and reporting systems for cyber bullying, although we all have a responsibility and an opportunity to help fix this."
The results follow the deaths of two teenagers over the summer who were bullied over the internet. Hannah Smith, a 14-year-old schoolgirl who was found hanged at her home in Lutterworth, Leicestershire, after apparently suffering months of internet abuse on social network Ask.fm.
Daniel Perry, 17, from Dunfermline, Fife, killed himself after footage recorded on Skype was used to blackmail him. Helen Goodman, shadow minister for Culture, Media and Sport, with a responsibility for media reform, said: "Cyber-bullying is a horrible new problem facing some of our teenagers. It is vital that adults, including companies and the Government, take responsibility for making sites safe.
She added: "We have repeatedly called on the Government to introduce legislation to deal with this epidemic of cyber-bullying, but David Cameron is failing to stand up to the internet giants. Over a million young people in the UK face extreme cyber-bullying each day and in recent weeks we have seen the tragic deaths of two young people as a result. How can there be a stronger call to action than that?"
Ditch The Label believes the Government needs to make social networks more thoroughly regulated to protect young people from further abuse.
Mr Hackett said: "There needs to be greater governance of social networks. Especially with the likes of Facebook and Twitter, we feel there should be greater legal obligation to do an annual external audit which would tell us how much abuse had been reported and what the response had been." More than two thirds of those who completed the survey, which was circulated on the teenage social network website Habbo Hotel, were British. Of the rest, 4 per cent were Australian, 12 per cent were from the USA, and a small number were from elsewhere. The results give an indication of the global scale of the problem. Ian Rivers, a psychologist and professor of human development at Brunel University, said that better education was needed to deal with the problem. "If so many young people are experiencing this then there must be a degree of reciprocation. I think we need to teach 'netiquette' in schools because learning how to communicate with each other properly is a really important way to prevent bullying."
The children's counselling service ChildLine is appealing for more volunteers to help work on its online support team as it struggled to cope with the demand from distressed young people on the internet. Some 59 per cent of contacts from children are now online – rather than on the original phone line – and the charity says it needs more volunteers to man computers.
ChildLine carried out 4,507 counselling sessions with children and young people who were concerned about cyber-bullying in the year to 2013, an increase of 87 per cent in a year. The Government updated its bullying guidance to schools in July, so that teachers can have specific powers to confiscate mobile phones or other devices that might be used in cyber bullying.
Responding to the research, Facebook pointed out that all its users have access to reporting tools they can use to block others and report things that make them uncomfortable.
A spokesman for the website said: "We don't tolerate bullying on Facebook and that's why we provide the best tools and support in the industry for people to report bullying to us or to someone else who can help them."
A Government spokesman said: "The Prime Minister has called for responsible behaviour from website owners. The Government expects all social media to have simple mechanisms for reporting abuse, to take actions promptly when abuse is reported and to make it easier for users to turn off anonymous posts.
"Through the UK Council for Child Internet Safety, the Government is challenging social networking sites to improve their reporting procedures and safety features."
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "The best people to help schools deal with bullying are the experts – that is why we have given almost £3m to Beatbullying, the Diana Award, Kidscape and the National Children's Bureau to provide state-of-the-art anti-bullying – including cyber bullying – materials and support for schools."
Case study: 'The bullying made me extremely depressed. I tried to take my life'
Becky Owen, 22, from Honiton, Devon, was cyber-bullied as a teenager
I was around 14 when it started. I joined Bebo and I put up a picture of myself at a relative's party. I thought 'Oh I look nice in that, I'll share it with friends'. A girl from school commented underneath and said 'You look really ugly, you skanky bitch'. I didn't realise I hadn't adjusted the privacy setting and people from school who already bullied me started sending me messages saying I was a 'dirty skank lesbian' who needed to sort my life out.
"I was too scared of them to say anything, but I changed my privacy settings. That didn't stop them though. Instead, they created fake profiles and added me on the site. I didn't have many friends so I thought it would be nice to have a few new ones to talk to, but then it would turn out to be them.
"I was insecure about my sexuality and came out to someone I thought was my friend, but she told the girls who were bullying me and then they did it more. I told my head of year and the ringleader was suspended, but in the end I had to leave the school because the other girls were still being mean.
"It made me extremely depressed. I self-harmed and I attempted to take my life a couple of times. I still struggle with depression and now when I get a Facebook message, I still have a fear that it will be horrid. I've moved around the country a lot because since those bullying days I find it really hard to settle and trust people."

China's Wen vows to fight inflation, confident on growth
Sep 13, 2011, 9:56 p.m.
By Don Durfee and Lee Chyen Yee
DALIAN, China (Reuters) - China will keep monetary policy tight to contain inflation while forging ahead with structural reforms and boosting consumption to sustain long-term economic growth, Premier Wen Jiabao said on Wednesday.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in the northeastern port city of Dalian, Wen said China's slowing economic growth was a result of the government's tightening measures to bring inflation under control and was "within expectations."
He also repeated the calls China has made -- as the biggest overseas holder of U.S. debt -- for Washington to better manage its economy.
"We will keep overall price levels basically stable and prevent big swings in economic growth," he said.
The global economic malaise has not affected China's economic fundamentals, Wen said.
"China is fully able and we have conditions and confidence in maintaining relatively fast economic growth," he said.
Wen delivered the opening speech at the event, known as "summer Davos" since the World Economic Forum first began staging the event in China in 2007.
Wen and other Chinese leaders have repeatedly stressed that wrestling inflation remains the top policy priority even though a flurry of measures to tighten monetary conditions have dragged on economic growth.
China's inflation was 6.2 percent in August, easing from a three-year high, although analysts expect it to remain elevated for several months and well above the government's target of 4 percent.
The economy grew by an annual 9.5 percent in the second quarter, slowing from 9.7 percent in the first quarter.
Analysts expect the central bank to hold off further monetary tightening as the global economy slows, though it is still far from easing policy due to fears of growing asset bubbles that could spiral out of control.
China has raised interest rates five times since late last year, and the required reserve ratio nine times.
With its focus on the developed world's struggles and China's rapid growth, Wen's speech underlined the economic gap between Europe and the U.S. versus China. As Western nations cope with their respective debt crises, China looks likely to grow faster than 9 percent this year.
Wen has been delivering the opening speech at the event, which draws many CEOs and world leaders, since the World Economic Forum first began staging the gathering in China in 2007.
Wen expressed concerns about the global economy amid the worsening debt crisis in Europe and called for greater global confidence and closer cooperation to face the challenges.
"Currently, the global economy is slowly recovering, but instability and uncertainty are growing," he said.
"Unemployment rates in the major economies continue to be high, and emerging economies face rising inflationary pressures," Wen said.
"All this shows that the global economic recovery will take a long time and be arduous and complex."
He expressed confidence in the U.S. economy, urging the country to get its economy house in order.
"We believe the U.S. will be able to overcome its difficulties and achieve economic recovery," said Wen.
"However, we hope the U.S. will implement sound economic policies and ensure fiscal and financial stability to protect investors' interest and maintain confidence."
Wen also extended a hand to European countries, urging them to recognize China as a market economy, saying the country is willing to invest more in Europe but they in turn need to prevent the debt crisis from spreading.
With about a quarter of China's record foreign currency reserves of $3.2 trillion held in euro assets, Beijing has been unsettled by the risks to the euro, even though Chinese leaders have repeatedly said they believe Europe can conquer its woes.
Meanwhile, central bank adviser Li Dakui, speaking later at Dalian, said China should refrain from buying large amounts of European bonds, adding it was important for European countries to press ahead with reforms.

Updated 02/18/2014
On the southern shore of Lake Brunner, a 40-minute drive southeast of Greymouth, this vintage bed-and-breakfast lodge is an enticing retreat at a price that is not as high as most of New Zealand's elite lodges. Rooms are large and well equipped, with the emphasis on comfort rather than opulence. The lodge is owned by a New Zealand bedding company, so you know you'll be sleeping in supreme comfort. The best rooms are at the front of the villa, overlooking the lake. Fly-fishing
is the main sport (lots of brown trout 'round here), but good spin fishing is also available at certain times of the year. You can also go walking or kayaking, or you can enjoy just relaxing in the lodge, by the fire in the lounge, or in the library. The lodge is surrounded by native forest. Because of its remote location, the lodge generates power with a hydro plant running off a spectacular waterfall behind the main building.

Right I get that much but what makes ACPI better for reading temperatures? I pretty much got the impression that ACPI was more revolved around keeping your computer power efficient and quiet. While temperatures take a big part in that, I don't see why power control couldn't just use I2C sensors.

PCI Symphony Network Cards
Manufacturer: Proxim
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Price: $120 for PCI-card, $130 US for PC-card
Reviewer: Denny Fox
Recently, I integrated a wireless segment into my SOHO (small office, home office) network based on widely available and relatively inexpensive cards from Proxim, their new Symphony series. After watching the wireless networking developments for quite a while, I have finally found an affordable wireless solution that works with Linux. Until now, wireless network cards cost hundreds of dollars and hubs cost thousands.
My goal was to give my notebook computer running Win98 the ability to move about my SOHO. I was successful in accomplishing this at a cost of only $250 by utilizing my existing Linux server and two Symphony cards.
I use Linux as a multi-function server with Samba and dial-on-demand ISDN to provide masquerading for all the machines on my internal network. The Linux server is connected to the internal network on its eth0 interface. I added a Proxim PCI Symphony card to this box, which is now up and running as eth1. (See Figure 1.)
Now that all the networking is set up, I have full connectivity to my internal network and to the Internet, and am able to work anywhere in the house. There is no apparent reduction in performance browsing the Web or e-mailing, since the bandwidth of the wireless segment is not the constraint. An FTP download from the server to the notebook transferred a 560KB file in about nine seconds, for a throughput of just under 64KB per second. It's not quite like a wired Ethernet, but it's also not too shabby.
My home has finished ceilings downstairs where my SOHO is located, making it very inconvenient to pull network or phone wires to other areas. I also have visions of being able to work outside on the deck when the weather permits. Clearly, some form of wireless networking would be ideal. I had been watching the wireless networking offerings off and on for the last couple of years, but prices were just too high.
Recently, I came across the Proxim "Symphony" line of wireless networking products. They use the 2.4GHz technology found in cordless phones to achieve a raw throughput of 1.6Mbps. This gives performance that is comparable with the ARCnet I ran before Ethernet became ubiquitous. Even better, the product line is widely distributed and is reasonably priced.
Proxim produces a full complement of wireless components in the Symphony line. There are cards for both the ISA and PCI bus, and a PC-Card for notebook computers. They also offer a Wireless Bridge and Wireless Modem for users who need them. I found the interface card products on the shelf at the local Best Buy, and the full line of products on-line at OnSale/Egghead and AtCost. There are many other sources such as CDW, HardwareStreet.com, Office Max, Office Depot and Staples. I ordered a PCI card for the Linux server and a PC Card (see Figure 2) for my notebook from OnSale's AtCost for about $120 US and $130 US respectively, with free shipping. As you will see below, those of us fortunate enough to employ Linux as our Internet connectivity server can avoid purchasing the Wireless Bridge for about $370 or the Wireless Modem for about $225.
The Proxim web site at http://www.proxim.com/symphony/index.htm has a complete set of information including on-line manuals, software, FAQs and tech tips. Under operating system support, they point you to Linux drivers from www.komacke.com/distribution.html. Proxim does not directly support Linux, but I had great help from Dave Koberstein, the rl2 driver developer, and other folks on the rl2-library mail list. You can easily subscribe at www.komacke.com/maillists.html. The rl2 part of the name comes from the original and much higher-cost Proxim product line RangeLAN2. The mail list was instrumental in answering several basic questions I had regarding the usefulness of these cards under Linux and getting the driver working.
Re: Product Review: PCI Symphony Network Cards
Hi, I found it very interesting report, the world become Linux, and wireless Linux, inexpensive wireless Linux, so,
I appreciate a lot this info, thank you Denny

Existing home sales rose nearly 7% last month, according to a report released Thursday by the National Association of Realtors. The jump was higher than expected, but fears remain that the rate won't be sustained once government home-buying incentives expire. Home prices may still have an additional 10% to 20% to fall, according to Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
