Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
27 Jun 2012 10:50 GMT | Sport, Football, Germany, Italy, Spain
Coach Joachim Loew has told his team to forget past disappointments and just focus on beating Italy in Thursday's Euro 2012 semi-final as Germany hunt a first tournament win over the Azzurri.
Germany have never beaten Italy in a competitive match, losing three times and drawing as many in World Cup finals and European Championships. They also met in a World Cup qualifier in 1962 with the game ending in a draw and Italian playmaker Andrea Pirlo has said the Germans are running scared of their record against Italy ahead of the Warsaw semi-final.But Loew was defiant when asked about the lack of German success against the Azzurri over the years.
"We can't turn back time, forget about it, the past doesn't play a role in our planning," said Loew.
"Another stat is that Germany has never won against Italy in a major tournament, but so what?
"The situation is entirely different now and this is not an issue for us."
German fans know all about Juventus midfielder Pirlo from six years ago in Dortmund when the 33-year-old's stunning pass set up Fabio Grosso's extra-time goal in Italy's 2-0 victory in the 2006 World Cup semi-final.
But Loew says he is less interested in the Italians and more concerned with what the Germans can do as they look to add to their record 15-game winning streak in competitive matches since losing to Spain at the 2010 World Cup.
"(Italy) have performed well during this tournament, but we also know where they have had difficulties and might face a few problems," said Loew.
"What will be important at the end of the day is that we try and play our own game and take it to the opposition, not vice versa.
"If we manage to do that and play at a very level of concentration, with a solid performance at the back, we have every right to be self-confident.
"With a little help, we will win the game."Looking forward
Germany's star midfielder Mesut Ozil, who will be up against Pirlo in the middle of the pitch, echoed Loew's sentiments.
"We are concentrating on the here and now," said the 23-year-old.
"We are looking forward to the semi, which will be very difficult, but we are confident we can beat anybody.
"Italy are surprisingly strong, you could also see that in the very good (1-1 draw) they had against world champions Spain (in Group C).
"I think they deserve to be in the semi-finals. They are compact, very strong, but in general we look only at ourselves.
"If we play as we can, I am convinced we will beat Italy."

Modern DevOps Tool Kit By @Logentries and @NewRelic | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Containers #Microservices
Auto-scaling environments, micro-service architectures and globally-distributed teams are just three common examples of why organizations today need automation and interoperability more than ever. But is interoperability something we simply start doing, or does it require a reexamination of our processes? And can we really improve our processes without first making interoperability a requirement for how we choose our tools?

Microservices Total Cost of Ownership: Too Soon? By @Aruna13 | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Docker #Containers #Microservices
Microservices are hot. And for good reason. To compete in today's fast-moving application economy, it makes sense to break large, monolithic applications down into discrete functional units. Such an approach makes it easier to update and add functionalities (text-messaging a customer, calculating sales tax for a specific geography, etc.) and get those updates / adds into production fast. In fact, some would argue that microservices are a prerequisite for true continuous delivery. But is it too...

What we really mean to ask is whether microservices architecture is SOA done right. But then, of course, we'd have to figure out what microservices architecture was. And if you think defining SOA is difficult, pinning down microservices architecture is unquestionably frying pan into fire time. Given my years at ZapThink, fighting to help architects understand what Service-Oriented Architecture really was and how to get it right, it's no surprise that many people ask me this question.

One of the ways to increase scalability of services – and applications – is to go "stateless." The reasons for this are many, but in general by eliminating the mapping between a single client and a single app or service instance you eliminate the need for resources to manage state in the app (overhead) and improve the distributability (I can make up words if I want) of requests across a pool of instances. The latter occurs because sessions don't need to hang out and consume resources that could ...

Approved this February by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), HTTP/2 is the first major update to HTTP since 1999, when HTTP/1.1 was standardized. Designed with performance in mind, one of the biggest goals of HTTP/2 implementation is to decrease latency while maintaining a high-level compatibility with HTTP/1.1. Though not all testing activities will be impacted by the new protocol, it's important for testers to be aware of any changes moving forward.

US bolsters missile interceptors on its West Coast to shield against possible North Korea nuclear attack
The US upped the stakes in its war of words with North Korea last night by announcing plans to boost its missile defences to guard against a possible nuclear attack.
To ease concerns over the sabre rattling by the rogue Communist regime, the Obama administration is deploying 14 additional ground-based missile interceptors on the West Coast.
Adding to the 30 interceptors already in place in California and Alaska will beef up the ability to shoot down incoming missiles in space. The defence system has existed since 2004.
Scroll down for video
Targeted: President Obama has stepped up US defences in light of North Korea's continued disobedience
It came a week after North Korea threatened the US with a pre-emptive nuclear strike, and a month after Pyongyang conducted its third nuclear test, in defiance of United Nations resolutions.
Experts say North Korea is years away from being able to hit the continental US with a nuclear weapon, despite a decades-long push toward a nuclear capability. But its fiery rhetoric and testing have increased tensions between the two countries.
James Miller, the Pentagon's policy chief, said it was necessary for America to take 'prudent steps' in the wake of North Korea's 'shrill public pronouncements'.
He also cited tensions with Iran. It came as the UN claimed that more than a quarter of all North Korean children are stunted from chronic malnutrition.
'These studies will allow us to shorten the timeline to build a new
missile field on the East Coast or to add interceptors in Alaska, should
either approach become necessary due to further future increases in the
threat from Iran and North Korea,' he added yesterday
Warning sign: North Korea's December 12 rocket launch shows the country has likely developed the technology to fire a missile that could reach the U.S. West Coast
The figures also estimated that two-thirds of the country's 24million people don't know where their next meal is coming from.
Newly appointed US Defence Chief Chuck Hagel confirmed last night that America would be adding to its existing ground-based missile interceptors.
The Pentagon chief said Washington and Tokyo had agreed to build a new advance radar in Japan to 'improve missile early warning' systems in case North Korea takes aim at either country.
It will take two years for all of the new interceptor systems to come online.
The interceptor sites are at Fort Greely in Alaska and Vandenberg Air Force Base on California's central coast. Plans to build a third site in Poland were abandoned in 2009.
Control: North Korea leader Kim Jong-Un is very much a loose cannon - and that is making the US extremely cautious
Tensions ratcheted up on the same day the United Nations claimed that more than a fourth of all North Korean children are stunted from chronic malnutrition and fully two-thirds of the country's 24 million people don't know where their next meal is coming from.
The U.N. said its Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs found that 2.8 million North Koreans 'are in need of regular food assistance amidst worrying levels of chronic malnutrition and food insecurity.'

Del Rio continues working on the arm and gets a 2 count as we see Hornswoggle at ringside now. Del Rio hits a big kick to the arm. He charges again but Khali gets his elbow and a big boot up. Khali with a pair of clotheslines and a big overhead chop. Ricardo gets on the apron and ducks a chop. Hornswoggle bites RR in the rear end and they run away. Del Rio takes advantage and hits the armbar on Khali. Del Rio with the cross armbreaker for the win as we see Rosa cheering him on backstage.
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
- Vickie Guerrero is backstage when CM Punk and Paul Heyman walk in. Punk is upset about Vickie giving Ryback another shot at TLC. Punk says he has beat Ryback already and asks her if she knows what kind of danger she has put him in. Heyman chimes in and says maybe Vickie isn't thinking with a clear head because of the AJ Lee stuff. Heyman accuses Vickie of playing politics. She says she gave Ryback a title shot because of what happened to him at Survivor Series and Hell in a Cell. Punk says he has nothing to do with Rollins, Reigns and Ambrose. Vickie says Punk will face the winner of tonight's RAW Active poll - either Kane or Daniel Bryan. Fans can tweet #WWEBryan or #WWEKane to choose his opponent for tonight.
- Still to come - Cole's interview with Rollins, Reigns and Ambrose. Back to commercial.
- Back from the break and we see footage of Rollins, Reigns and Ambrose attacking Ryback on last week's RAW. Cole and Lawler talk about the attack. Cole leads us into his interview with them, taped earlier today.
Cole starts talking and Ambrose interrupts him first. Ambrose says if Cole has a question to ask them, just ask it. Cole asks if they are working directly for CM Punk. Ambrose says nope. Cole asks then why are they here. Rollins says that's the question Cole should be asking. Rollins says they sat down in NXT and saw things clearly - people around here answer to Vickie Guerrero and Booker T, they answer to the Board of Directors and the Board ultimately answers to the fans. Rollins calls that a popularity contest and says that's wrong. Rollins says they righted the wrongs and they are a shield from injustice in WWE. Rollins says it's a coincidence that their actions have helped Punk twice so far. Ambrose talks about how it was wrong how Punk had to defend his title and says they would have done the same thing if it was Ryback or Cena in Punk's shoes. Cole asks Reigns for comment. He says when he wants to say something, he will and that's it. Ambrose says they're not Nexus and not the nWo. He says they're about principle and honor - a shield from injustice. Ambrose declares that they are The Shield. Reigns interrupts Cole and says the interview is over because they have said enough. The NXT 3 walk off and end the interview. We go back to Cole and Lawler.
- Vickie Guerrero has a surprise for AJ Lee and John Cena later tonight. Also still to come, CM Punk vs. Kane or Daniel Bryan. Back to commercial.
- Back from the break and we get a vignette for Fandango.

Billboard near historic round barn in Oklahoma to be torn down
Gillaspy said the sign will be "disposed of."
The sign was built in October 2010 and the dispute came to a head in the following weeks and months. Gillaspy said no one at the historical society knew the small plot of land had been for sale.
Mazaheri bought the plot in September 2010 for $2,400, county assessor records show.
Emotions were high during town hall meetings and when advertisements were put on the billboard.
Attempts to reach an agreement fell through.
The historical society filed a lawsuit in Oklahoma County District Court in May 2011, alleging the town hadn't properly issued a building permit for the sign, and that the billboard was not within the town's planning and zoning ordinances providing for a 75-foot setback from the highway.
The suit was dis

In the age of hookups, hang-outs and digital communication, dating is a skill young adults no longer possess.
Deseret Digital Media NewsOK publishes content from Deseret Digital Media, which has a network of websites that includes KSL.com, DeseretNews.com and FamilyShare.com.
Getting an 'A' in real-world dating
At least that's what Kerry Cronin, a professor at Boston University, has found, according to an article in the Boston Globe. She teaches a philosophy class for freshmen and sophomores, and one of the extra credit assignments she gives each year is for her students to take someone on a real date: no alcohol, no kissing, no sex.
Dating, Cronin told the Globe, "has been supplanted on campuses by a hookup culture that can entail anything from kissing to having sex with strangers or acquaintances rather than committed partners."
The courage and civility of asking someone on an official date are values that have been forgotten by today's youths, in Cronin's opinion. Learning the "correct" way to date will help college students move away from a shallow culture of instant gratification and form strong, long-lasting relationships.
However, others feel that the new, less-serious dating culture is just as beneficial to forming relationships. Eliana Dockterman wrote a rebuttal for Time, in which she said, "I'm here to inform that professor that we 20-somethings don't need help, thank you very much."
Her argument is that meeting someone in a casual group setting like a party allows college students to get to know each other better than a stiff and awkward date.
