Passengers HORRIFIED as SPARKS pour from plane's engine mid-flight
PASSENGERS were left terrified on a routine flight when sparks were seen pouring out of one of two of the plane's engines.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which was carrying 338 passengers, was flying from Sydney to Singapore when travellers heard a loud bang coming from the aircraft's right wing.
Many saw a trail of bright orange sparks coming from the engine around 30 minutes before the plane was due to land at Singapore's Changi airport.

The flight was being operated by Singapore's budget airline Scoot.
The incident was captured on video by one of the passengers and the 10-second clip posted on Chinese social media shows the worrying scenes just before 6pm on Saturday night.

Fellow passengers in the clip can be heard saying that they thought a bird had been sucked into the engine.
Despite the incident, flight TZ001 landed safely and on time at 6.42pm local time.
A spokesman for Scoot - owned by Budget Aviation Holdings Pte Ltd which also runs Tigerair - said they were investigating the incident.

They added: "There was an incident during the descent into Singapore which necessitated a shut-down of the right engine".
"Our flight crew exercised due diligence and immediately contacted Singapore's Air Traffic Control while requesting for fire services to be on standby on landing.

"Safety is of utmost importance to Scoot and we will spare no effort to ensure the well-being of our guests."

Three members of the Lindenwood University basketball team were charged with sexual assault Thursday in connection with an incident in September.
According to charging documents, Tylan Birts, Bradley Newman Jr. and Ermias Nega were each charged with one count of conspiring to commit sexual assault.
Charging documents said a woman went to an off-campus apartment on Sept. 18 where Nega, Birts and Newman lived together. Police said the woman consented to having sex with Nega, 22.
After Nega and the victim were finished, Nega left the room and told his roommates that the victim was "ready". Charging documents said Birts, 19, and Newman, 20, then entered the room, where Birts began having sex with the victim while Newman crouched in the corner.
The victim realized she was not having sex with Nega, and reached for the lights. She saw Birts leaving the room and Newman naked in the corner of the room.
When interviewed by police, Nega said he did step out of the room. He told police the victim looked like she was "in shock" and "teary eyed" when he returned.
All three talked with police , and at least one of them admitted the victim did not give consent to have sex with all of them.
The charging documents said Nega told the victim she should not tell anyone, because she would be shamed.
A statement from Lindenwood University said all three suspects have been suspended from the basketball team, and that the university is launching a Title IX investigation.

Worst groomers I have ever experienced
I brought my 2, 8 months old puppies, in to Telafrend to have there hair cut and washed. When I picked them up they had not been cut and the lady told me she couldn't cut them. She still charged me full price and was very rude about it. The puppies came back tramatised and worse for wear and shedding more than they ever had. They would not come near us for hours.

Mexico's energy reforms are expected to boost the share of renewables in its power sector, cut carbon emissions and provide a strong platform for economic growth.
That's the verdict of a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
"This is not a reform – it's a revolution on an unprecedented scale," said Dr Fatih Birol, IEA executive director.
"This transformation touches every sector of the Mexican energy industry and goes well beyond. However, let's not underestimate the task ahead. It is a huge undertaking and there will be challenges, but the reform has made remarkable progress. The government's path forward is the right one."
Mexico's energy reforms – Reforma Energética – began in 2013 with the intention of opening up key parts of the sector to new players, investment and technology.
The IEA's Mexico Energy Outlook finds that the country's auction system has provided "a substantial boost to Mexico's clean energy efforts in the power sector. More than half of the country's new power generation capacity installed between now and 2040 is renewables-based, tapping Mexico's large wind and solar resources."
The report adds that "new investment in electricity is essential to meet rapid growth in electricity demand, and allows Mexico to reach its target of producing 35 per cent of electricity from clean sources by 2024".

In D.C., Netanyahu Tries To Be Seen As Peacemaker
The ice seemed to thaw somewhat in the recently frosty relationship between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, when the two heads of state met earlier this week. But despite the warmer tone, the two are still at loggerheads over some major issues. Former U.S. ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk speaks with host Scott Simon about the options that lie ahead for the two leaders as they move forward.
SCOTT SIMON, host:
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon.
President Obama and Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, met at the White House this week, and they seemed to make a point of conspicuously getting along together, tamping down any talk of a breach between the two countries.
President BARACK OBAMA: We are going to continually work with the prime minister and the entire Israeli government, as well as the Israeli people, so that we can achieve what I think has to be everybody's goal, which is that people feel secure.
SIMON: President Obama speaking this week at the White House. Martin Indyk, who served two tours as U.S. ambassador to Israel under President Clinton and is now the vice president and director of the foreign policy program at the Brookings Institution, joins us. Mr. Ambassador, thanks so much for being with us.
Mr. MARTIN INDYK (Brookings Institution): Pleasure, Scott. Thanks for having me.
SIMON: And what did you notice in the public pronouncements that came out of the meeting or even the smiles and body language?
Mr. INDYK: Well, from the clip that you played, what's interesting is the way the president emphasized that he wanted to work with the prime minister, the government and the people of Israel. I think for the last 18 months we've had a bit of a tussle between the president and the prime minister, both kind of working against each other rather than working with each other.
And I think that what the president is signaling is that they've both come to recognize that their individual purposes - the president's desire to try to make peace between Israel and the Palestinians and establish an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel, and the prime minister's concern to get the president fully onboard his efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons - that on those two key objectives, which they share in common, they need to work together.
The reference to the Israeli public was underscored by the way in which the president then went out after the meeting and did a number of interviews culminating with a television interview with Israel's main television station. This is the first time he's addressed the Israeli public in 18 months. It's been a terrible omission. He's basically lost the Israeli public, who would otherwise be supportive of him if only he'd tell them what he was trying to do. And finally he's doing that, and I think that's long overdue and a positive development.
SIMON: Did we also see in this trip by Prime Minister Netanyahu, who noted that he's been here a lot, did we see a different side of him, if not an altogether different prime minister?
Mr. INDYK: Indeed. He underscored that he's ready to take risks for peace, which was exactly Yitzhak Rabin's formula back in the early '90s when he decided to make peace. So, yes, I think he strove to take on that mantle of peacemaker. He didn't really make much of Iran, even though Iran is much more on his mind. And I think that this is a recognition on his part that there's a mood shift in Israel - not that noticeable from here but I've just been in Israel and I felt it very strongly, that the public was really shocked at the way in which the whole world seemed to turn against it over the flotilla crisis.
And they really felt in a corner and wondering what lay ahead in their future with this effort to delegitimize Israel and delegitimize its use of force as well. And I think there's a public mood of wanting their leadership to take an initiative, to try to use politics and not just force. And I think the prime minister is responding to that.
SIMON: You have written that despite what I guess has often been described as a chill over the past 18 months, this is the most conducive environment for peace negotiations in a decade.
Mr. INDYK: Yes. I hope I don't sound like Pollyanna here, but taking the long view - and I've lived through it very closely - particularly the outbreak of the intifada was when I was ambassador in Israel back in October 2000 - and see over the 10 years, almost 10 years, that, you know, the most horrendous violence, terrorism and killing of innocents on both sides, that on both sides now the violence has come way down, almost nonexistent.
The Palestinian Authority is policing the territory under its control. Hamas, for its own reasons, in Gaza is policing its territory and preventing rocket attacks on Israel. The Palestinians, I think, are tired of war and the Israelis understand that they need to find a way out of their own existential dilemmas.
And this creates an environment in which the Israelis have stopped settlement activities, stopped provocative activity in Jerusalem, the Palestinian president and prime minister are declaring day-in and day-out that they want to make peace. They're trying to act as responsible partners.
So, you have a circumstance which you haven't had for 10 years in which it's just possible that the combination of war weariness and a sense that the alternatives are far worse might just create circumstances in which the leaders, if they are statesmen - and that remains to be tested - could actually do a deal.
SIMON: And what's the U.S. role in that?
Mr. INDYK: We are the indispensible partner. They can't get to an agreement without us. But they are the ones that have to make the ultimate decisions. I'm fond of quoting Shimon Peres, the president of Israel, who says that history is a horse that gallops past your window. And the true act of a statesman is to jump from the window onto that galloping horse.
Well, what the president of the United States can do with his aides is get that horse galloping past the window. But ultimately it comes down to whether Bibi Netanyahu and Abu Mazen are prepared to do a difficult thing, which is jump from the window onto that galloping horse.
SIMON: Martin Indyk, who served two tours as U.S. ambassador to Israel, now at the Brookings Institution, thanks so much.
Mr. INDYK: Thank you, Scott.

Over the years, psychics, astrology, and even spirituality have grown participation in solving crimes. This is especially true when the police come to a dead end in their investigation. And while many disregard information from psychics, there are still many cases that have been solved because of them
However, in this case, the opposite happened. A person who claims to be a psychic has tipped the police as to the whereabouts of several bodies that were victims of a homicide. However, as they searched a farm house in a rural Texas neighborhood, their search proved futile as no single body or evidence of a homicide had been found.
Led by Country Sheriff's Capt. Rex Evans, the police found nothing on the property even as they expanded their search to 70 miles northeast of Houston. And with their fruitless search, the police decided to go home and instead focus their attention on the psychic who tipped them the information and led them to that house.
According to the police, two calls were received from the tipster. And because her descriptions were very vivid, the police took the tip seriously and searched the said farmhouse. Her descriptions were from someone who had definitely been inside the premises of the house. Now they are growing suspicious as to why and how the psychic knows that much about the property. However, the police also found a trace of blood on the backdoor of the house and a foul odor was also sensed. These all led a county judge to issue a search warrant.

The Tide Has Turned for the Tides Inn, Virginia
In the tiny town of Irvington in rural Tidewater Virginia, nestled between the banks of Carter's creek and other graceful tributaries that feed the Chesapeake Bay, the townsfolk used to talk. The goss was that The Tides Inn had fallen into disrepair, its guestrooms, restaurants and facilities disgraced beyond the pale. But that was before the new management company committed over $10 million to wide-sweeping renovations, including the gorgeous modernization of all guestrooms and the hotel exterior. Now the not exactly tight-lipped town is abuzz about the recent hire of a new, world-class chef. Though closed during the winter months, The Tides Inn commands a superb location overlooking its own award-winning marina on Carter's Creek, and beautifully manicured golf course. Other recreational facilities include tennis courts, swimming pools, sand beach, fishing, biking, not to mention river cruises on the National Historic yacht, Miss Ann.

Maker of Little Ceramic Houses?
Q: My late grandmother left my cousin and I these hand painted houses that we used to play with when we were kids. I wasn't able to ask her where she got them specifically, but I believe she picked them up in Germany. They have no markings on the bottom and are extremely delicate.
I'm terrified of accidentally dropping one and not being able to replace it.. If anyone knows who makes them I'd be very grateful.

There a variety of online stores which is available from where one will find personalized presents at affordable price. Some are appropriate for many babies, other newborn gift baskets are for boys or girls.

Then, finally, after having a manic drive for the maternity ward, our planet's presented with another little bundle of joy. It are only able to mean a very important factor - baby gift time. If you opt for a pre-made one, you will discover a wide variety of baby gift baskets with different themes both in local and internet vendors. Measurement depends on how you design the top chain attachment, whether looped or straight. newborn babies can only see products which are a number of inches from them and bright colored items jump out, allowing the newborn to rehearse focusing on these things.
If you are not sure on once the child will likely be delivered, it really is better to not include a date in your present or perhaps wait until you're certain regarding it. Ask the person in charge of monograms to position the name of the child in a single corner from the towel. Most moms would want reading books and listening to music throughout their pregnancy period, which can be very nice as it could help stimulate the newborn's mind. One from the easiest ways to select a great gift is to have just what they want.
Money boxes, baby casting kits, photo-products, height charts, baby name frames and much, considerably more. If you are attending your baby shower, you might be racking your brain for the best give give. For some people, trying into the future up with all the perfect baby shower gift can be a harrowing, stressful experience. o Another way of personalizing gifts within a short time would be to arrange a basket full of goodies.

Altman – This year's Altman booth was built around their core LED products.
Spectra Cycs and Chalice units provided wash and down light accents. New to the booth this year were a few notable products which include the Altman PHX1 150w, the Pegasus, and the recently released Gallery series fixtures.
The Altman PHX1 150w is the convection cooled version of the PHX2 250w. For those environments where fan noise is a deal breaker, the PHX1 150w solves this issue. The unit is available in all the same configurations as the PHX2 (RGBA, RGBW, 3k, 5k, 3k/5k variable) and with the same options for 5, 10, 19, 26, 36 and 50 degree barrels. The light output is comparable to slightly less than a HPL575 source.
Speaking of the HPL lamp, did you know you can convert many of your older Altman fixtures including the 65Q to an HPL source? If you have Altman fixtures that you would like to change over to HPL lamps, contact your Barbizon sales person to check if there is a retrofit kit available for your fixture.
For those who missed the Pegasus Fresnel last year, it was on display again this year. The Pegasus is a truly versatile fixture with its 15-85 degree zoom and ability to function as either a mains dim or DMX dim unit. The Pegasus is available in 2700k, 3000k, 4000k and 5000k. The 6" and 8" will take the standard 6" and 8" Fresnel accessories including barn doors and top hats that may already be in your stock.
Finally, the newest fixture to the booth was the new Gallery series. Available in a profile, beam wash or flood option and the standard variations of color temperatures. The profile units come in either a 15-35 degree or 25-50 degree zoom. The Gallery series provides a sleeker looking fixture for those museum or upscale architectural projects. Dimming options include mains dim, DMX/RDM, 0-10v or DALI. The Gallery series can be used along with Altman's Smart Track or in a portable, pendant or surface mount set up.
TAG: House Lights
Altman Lighting
Altman – This year's Altman booth was built around their core LED products.
Elektralite released a DMX controllable house light fixture. The Dazer pendant downlight, uses 36 – 5 watt LEDs to deliver flicker-free operation. Available in RGBA or Warm white 3400K, the exterior finish is available in Black, White or Silver. Lensing options include a choice of 15, 25, 40 or 60-degree beam spreads, preinstalled or site selected and installed. The fixture uses a terminal strip connection for data and screw terminals for power. An integrated yoke and ¾" down rod hide the wires and allow for easy sloped ceiling installation.
Additionally, the fixture has a safety cable ring for a second point of safety for secure mounting.

Poltergeist caught on CCTV in British museum.
The museum in Torquay, England, say there has been a long list of unexplained events happen over the years, have they finally got proof?
You can see the stack of booklets fly of the shelf at the beginning of the video. Both staff members are at the other side of the room and the door looks to be firmly shut.
Creepy right?
It gets worse, when one of the staff members goes to investigate, it seems the poltergeist decides to throw another stack of booklets at him.
There have been a number of incidents of books and leaflets flying of the shelves in the Museum's bookshop, and there has been a long list of unexplained activity at Torquay Museum over the past few years.
Have the museum captured a poltergiest in action here, or is there another explanation?

|This month: November 2017
Breaking news: How push notifications alter the fourth estate
Changes in news reporting and dissemination, including new technologies, have greatly reshaped information environments within American democracy. This paper explores a comparison between representations of two historically parallel breaking news stories, U.S. President Nixon firing special prosecutor Archibald Cox in 1973 and President Trump firing FBI Director James Comey in 2017, through computational textual analysis. While headlines and push notifications vary significantly by news providers, push notifications are similar across platforms in distinguishing characteristics such as emotionally loaded and subjective language. Both of these are defining elements of deceptive news and may account for some media distrust.

How geopolitical conflict shapes the mass-produced online map
Cartographers have always grappled with the question of how to depict spaces of conflict where place names or boundaries are disputed. This paper examines how these conflicts are represented in mass-produced online maps, focusing on both commercial maps produced by tech giants such as Google, and crowdsourced efforts such as OpenStreetMap. Producers of these maps occasionally publish policies on conflict resolution, emphasizing the mapping of ground truth and conformance to internationally recognized specifications. In practice, the makers of these maps violate their own appeals to neutrality and ground truth. Some commercial maps appear in any number of versions to satisfy disputing parties while crowdsourced maps undergo in some cases "rogue customizations" for varying time periods.

Hi there. I'm trying to put together a website for an art space my uni are making, but am having some problems with IE when it comes to padding. The two main culprits are these pages, but I imagine the issue extends to anything using my .adInfo class (Mac user, no IE7 to test with). Here's what the pages *should* look like: http://ubisquo.com/feck.jpg http://www.ubisquo.com/gallery.jpg And here the pages are. http://www.ubisquo.com/functions.html http://www.ubisquo.com/gallery.html Relevant code for functions: Applied to images in the main content div Code: img.main_content { float: left; margin: 4px; padding: 5px; text-align: center; background-color: #E9E9E9; border-right: 1px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; overflow: hidden; } .adInfo { float: right; display: block; margin: 1em; background-color: #dbeacb; } HTML for Functions: Code:

Functions and the Space

Rar, info about the space as a functional area will go here.

 The main issue with the gallery page is that in Firefox/Safari/everything EVER the text link is displayed underneath the image it represents.

I had a thought today when trying to comprehend the idea of the Matrix and the holographic Universe. I thought that if there is a Matrix that contains the Universe, then it could be a Matrix that contains itself and there is nothing outside it at all. Why create such a device? Just for amusement? Machines would have no concept of emotion and they would feel nothing for the subjects inside the computer simulation. I surmise that this is just a massive experiment to study humans and how they live with each other. The existence of necessary evil in the world and the sense of an uncaring god that is seemingly apathetic to the wars and starvation in the world is explained in this very interesting web page: http://www.simulation-argument.com/matrix2.html. This lays out an explanation for the world of the matrix and the possible existence of a holographic Universe that sees us living in a virtual Universe. It is mind-blowing that an entire Universe could be simulated in a computer. The problems with the simulation of the microscopic world and quantum effects is easily explained by the fact that we have nothing outside our Universe to compare it to. Therefore we can not be sure if what we see through our microscopes and on the screen of a scanning tunneling microscope is real at all.
This is outlaid in this very simple argument: http://www.simulation-argument.com/simulation.html. The entire Universe does not need to be simulated to the atomic level; only the sections close to our planet and the places our probes have reached. The rest could be just images and radiation sent out from the simulated stars and Neutron stars. The interior of the Earth that we cannot reach need not be totally simulated either. But the actual world be interact with on a daily basis is the main focus of 90 percent of the attention of the massive computer consciousness. The Matrix movies featured the ability to upload new skills into the brain whilst in the Matrix and also in the real world with the cables that connects to the back of the neck they used to re-train Neo. The explanation for the use of humans when the machines had built nuclear fusion power, which provides almost unlimited energy is that the networked human brains had spare computing power that was used in a super-computing cluster to create a powerful computer for the machines to use to control the finicky fusion power. Read this article for a good explanation of this very deep and complex film: http://www.kurzweilai.net/glitches-in-the-matrix-and-how-to-fix-them. This makes sense; considering the amount of energy that the machine city had, the massive cables with unimaginable amounts of electricity running through them would be fed by fusion and not six billion slave humans fed by magical foodstuffs.
That does not make much sense. And why do they not recycle the effluent instead of just throwing it en-masse into the ocean? There are actually many useful waste products in human waste that can be re-used from human waste. But the idea of a simulated Universe is a strange one; but possible. There is a strange quantum fuzziness in matter observed at a very small scale and the observation that there could be a massive amount of energy at the edge of the Universe that could contain information about everything inside the Universe. This is the event horizon argument. This puts forward the argument that the entire Universe is inside an event horizon and that the edge of this could contain all the information about everything that is inside. A black hole has an event horizon that you pass as you are spaghettified by the immense gravitational forces exerted by the black hole. But the information about something that falls into a black hole is stored in the event horizon and this means that anyone who falls in is not destroyed. That is truly amazing to think about. Could we therefore be inside an event horizon and be living a simulated reality? That is mentis inclinans to think about. We cannot escape the Universe; as far as we know; it is about 500 billion light-years across and the edges are moving away from us faster than the speed of light. So travelling to stars near the edge of the Universe is out of the question.
Our own Universe has some amazing sights to see; we should not be in a hurry to leave when we have practically infinite space to travel around in and many planets to see. So the future is bright if we can move out into space.
–et ultra spatium infinitum.

You can�t get more upscale in the D.C. area than Charleston Alexander Fine Diamond Importers of Bethesda, Maryland. It�s one of those impressive stand-alone doors that emerges from its strip-mall environs like Fort Knox out of the Kentucky bluegrass. This early May morning, however, president John Sabet isn�t talking designers, brands, differentiation, keystone-plus, or any of our usual conversations. He�s talking tennis bracelets.
Not the premium ones he�s carried for years, like his 7 carat total weight four-prong bracelet, retailing at $11,000. That�s a staple sweet-spot at Alexander, and roughly mid-range of the two dozen or so tennis bracelets in stock. We�re discussing a new line that�s a huge departure: H/I colors, SI2/SI3, 2 to 8 carat total weights, $950 to $1,250 per carat. �There will be some four-prong and three-prong settings,� he says, �but this is all about value, with bar and channel settings we�ve never had. We�re manufacturing ourselves in India, and it�s been a revelation.
Not just the quality of the labor�huge when it comes to a piece like a tennis bracelet�but the diamonds. Utterly consistent tables, which is the key for tennis bracelets.� More to the point, the new line retails at keystone to 2.2 markup. Industry-wide percentages for tennis bracelets, for manufacturers and retailers alike, tend toward 40 to 50 percent.
Aren�t you worried they�ll bring the look of the store down? �Absolutely not,� Sabet says immediately. �What I�m worried about is servicing the guy I sold the $50,000 engagement ring to last year. He�s back: �I have $3,000, $4,000 to spend.� He still wants the big diamond look, but this time he wants a no-brainer, the �please don�t make me go back on-line for another two days� piece of jewelry for the first anniversary. I�m not bringing the store down by showing him four carats of beautifully cut diamonds in a classic bracelet that�s right at budget. It�s a no-brainer sale. Every woman wants it, and the only question he has to answer is which setting?�
I ask if he�d consider downselling in his other diamond categories. �Absolutely not,� he says. �Except studs.�
Or if he thought of going the other way: moving up the 25 percent (by way of designers, and brands) from the $1,200 to $1,750 per carat bracelets he�s long stocked, rather than down.
�Didn�t just think about it. Did it, a few years back, the right way, too, with a close-out,� he says, asking that the name of a well-known brander be kept off-record. �Funny you should mention 25 percent, because that was the price I got from the liquidator. Took me a year and a half to unload them, and after all that time I had to take the shortest margins. And we�re talking beautiful ideals, the best constructions.� It was an eye-opener for Sabet, who built his business around three dozen household-name branded jewelry designers and premium loose programs like Isee2 from Antwerp�s Overseas Diamonds.

NEW YORK — Privacy, as we have known it, is dead the world over. Its demise did not come quickly and was not without forewarning.
Only now are we coming to terms with the weighty consequences of living in an increasingly Orwellian world, where our every move is recorded and our most personal information collected by governments and commercial enterprises, for better and for worse.
Never before in history has so much of our privacy — our musings, preferences, curiosities, dalliances, phobias, foibles, health, habits, our very nature — been compiled, with or without our permission, infringing on our personal freedoms and inciting fear.
Across the globe, governments of all political persuasions are installing millions of surveillance cameras in public places, monitoring phone conversations and web communications of ordinary citizens, and defending such intrusive actions as necessary to combat crime and terrorism.
In Britain, which has one of the most extensive and technologically advanced surveillance systems in the world, the collection and processing of personal information is so pervasive that a report of the House of Lords Constitutional Committee concluded that such activity is "almost taken for granted." Security experts estimate there is one surveillance camera for every 14 people in Britain and there are few public areas where one is not being filmed.
Meanwhile, Internet companies, advertisers, social networks and data miners are vigorously compiling personal data like browsing histories, online and in-store purchases, prescription medicines and email content, more often from unsuspecting users.
Consider a rather jarring telephone conversation I had the other day with a close friend in Argentina.
Asked if she thought the center-left government of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was more corrupt than previous ones, she replied: "I don't discuss these things on the phone anymore nor do I write about them in email or text. Don't you know they're monitoring everything we say and this could come back to haunt me?"
Had the voice of my South American friend, who is a diplomat, not been so solemn, I would have thought her response a bad joke, alluding to the rampant wiretapping during Argentina's Dirty War period three decades ago, when speaking ill of the military dictatorship over the telephone could get one arrested or killed. This is 2014 not 1984, right?
While we don't know for certain that the Argentine government was monitoring that particular phone call, my friend's deep trepidation certainly underscores the profound impact of pervasive government surveillance and commercial collection of data on individuals.
Many of these firms have already created dossiers on millions of individuals based on information gleaned from the web and have accurately documented not only the superficial, like the person's age, favorite soft drink and blood type, but also the most intimate, like sexual inclination, alcohol consumption and past illnesses.
Indeed, surveillance and compilation of our personal data has become so ubiquitous that most of us already assume we're always being monitored. And if everyone and every action are potentially being observed, one might wonder what there is to fear, especially since so many of us voluntarily post our personal information on social networks with little concern for the consequences.
The advent of the digital age has brought greater freedom of expression and economic opportunities, but it has also ushered in an unprecedented assault on privacy, and when it comes to monitoring and compiling of personal information, it appears certain that neither governments nor commercial enterprises will cease these efforts.
Rampant surveillance and documentation of personal data can have a chilling effect on free expression and lead to self-censorship out of fear of how the information might be used. At the very heart of the debate over privacy is the protection of free expression, the most fundamental of human rights.
China has emerged as one of the foremost countries monitoring its citizens. In recent years, the Chinese Government has installed more than 20 million surveillance cameras nationwide, which critics say are used to intimidate and monitor dissident groups. China has also amassed an army of more than two million agents who monitor the Internet, scrutinizing private communications and censoring information they deem threatening or inappropriate.
Li Tiantian, an outspoken human rights lawyer in Shanghai, recently told National Public Radio that authorities have used her cell phone to eavesdrop on her conversations and that they tried to intimidate her by showing her boyfriend photos of other men she'd dated. Tiantian said that the authorities even tried to show her boyfriend surveillance camera video of her entering hotels with men but that he refused to watch.
A majority of Americans are also concerned about their privacy, according to a Pew Research poll, which found that 68 percent of Americans feel that current laws are not strong enough to protect their privacy online.
The poll found that 86 percent of Americans have taken steps to remove or mask their digital footprints, ranging from clearing cookies to encrypting their email — from avoiding using their names to using virtual networks that mask their IP addresses.
Clearly, rules to protect privacy have not kept up with digital technology, thus the dire need for governments to commit to protecting citizens from misuse of their personal information, collected by social networks and cloud storage firms, and safeguarding who has access to it.

Dear OpenFOAM users, I am new
Dear OpenFOAM users,
I am new to OpenFOAM and am learning more about the package. I have a Dual processor Dell PC and have been experimenting with running the damBreakFine2 tutorial case.
I am an having problems with updating the gamma distribution on the new fine mesh. Note initial setup as single processor job because problem seens to be with setFields?
Any suggestion would be helpful?
1) Cloned the damBreak(not running any procedures on it like blockmesh and stuff) case to damBreakFine2
2) Changed the blockMeshDict file according to the tutorial. did not change any other files.
3) Ran blockMesh on damBreakFine2. New finer mesh was formed OK for it was visible in paraview, but got the following errors:
FOAM Warning:
From function polyMesh::polyMesh(… construct from shapes…)
in file meshes/polyMesh/createPolyMesh.C at line 467
Found 10 undefined faces in mesh; adding to default patch.
The rest processed OK and new mesh was formed.
4) Ran setFields on damBreakFine2

After crushing Texan resistance at the Alamo and at Goliad, Mexican Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was confident that Sam Houston's ragtag army of 800 volunteers posed no threat to his superior force.
So, as Santa Anna's army bedded down near San Jacinto on April 20, 1836, it posted few lookouts. Early the next morning, when Houston's force attacked, it caught Santa Anna's men sleeping. Within 18 minutes, the Texans had killed or captured Santa Anna's army, including Santa Anna himself, forcing the general to withdraw all Mexican troops from Texas.
Because of his overconfidence, Santa Anna had, in minutes, ceded some 260,000 square miles of territory, which Mexico never would regain.

The role of antioxidants is to seek out and destroy free radicals. If they are not controlled they will accelerate your aging and create havoc for your health.
Antioxidants are included in all our general health supplements, from the top of the line PREMIUM Total Balance to our Multi-Xtra.
There are many forms of antioxidants ranging from the simple inexpensive but rather weak Vitamin C through to sophisticated expensive nutrients such as Astaxanthin and L-Glutathione just to mention a couple.
The number, amount and potency of antioxidants increase in our general health products starting at Multi-Xtra which contains more than most multi vitamin/mineral supplements. The amounts are increased in all Total Balance versions and in the case of the PREMIUM version of Total Balance it has the best (and most expensive) that science can currently provide.

In mid-2015, Indonesian public was shocked by Dwi Djoko Wiwoho, former director of One Stop Services (PTSO) Concession Agency (BP) Batam who joined ISIS. Dwi Djoko Wiwoho leave employment and occupation are quite prestigious, from an economic standpoint there is no problem anymore. A similar incident was repeated in 2017. Triyono Utomo Abdul Way, former Head of Sub Non-Tax Revenues Non Natural Resources Ministry of Finance resigned from the civil service and trying to join ISIS.
Triyono Utomo decision is surprising, Triyono's education quite prestigious. Triyono is an alumni of Accountancy School(2004) with a glass of Bachelor of Applied Science (S.ST), and alumni of Flinders University in South Australia (2009) with a Master of Public Administration (MPA). From the financial' side, of course, no doubt about it. But ISIS strong appeal of being able to make Triyono turn and choose a career and leave his post to join ISIS.
Before the two officials were joined in ISIS, in July 2015 the public was shocked by the news of the merger of Brigadier Syahputra, Members of the Police of the Police BatangHari, Jambi. Syahputra join ISIS in Syria and renamed as Abu Azzayn al Indunisiy. The latest news, Syahputra has been killed in an air raid by US-led international coalition, even though until now there has been no official confirmation or evidence received by the Indonesian government.
Driving Factors and Motivation
In various occasions, the government stated that approximately 500 citizen has joined the ISIS. Many of them are stuck in transit countries such as Malaysia and Turkey. Readings of it certainly can not be underestimated, although many of them have returned to Indonesia for various reasons such as deportation or indeed return to his own wishes.
Pilgrimage of Indonesian citizens to ISIS is not necessarily granted. There are various factors that encourage them to join ISIS. Abu Jandal, Attamimi Mubarok namely Salim, an Indonesian citizen who had lived in Malang is one of those who actively engage and recruit people in East Java to join ISIS.
Invitation by Abu Jandal allegedly with economic inducements. Recruitment is closed allegedly because ISIS sympathizers prospective targets are clear and an acquaintance of Abu Jandal emergency. Narasai-narrative delivered so woke motivation of the prospective sympathizers to join ISIS.
As a result citizens who are tempted by economic promises is willing to sell assets and go with family or gradually they went to Syria via Turkey. Abu Jandal, who was later discovered to have been killed in Syria, feeding the economic attractiveness as a driver candidate ISIS sympathizers to move to Syria, thereby building motivation for change economically with ideological packaging.
In addition to economic factors, ISIS has created the ideological appeal so strongly that is able to mobilize people who purely want to join because of the confidence equation. ISIS ideological doctrines spread through social media and the media is massive.
Publications on ISIS very intensively around the world are creating an attraction for many people. People who tend to have the same understanding or belief will easily sympathize and eventually merge. Even some who release position, possessions, family and what has been achieved only to join ISIS. This proved to be the case in Indonesia, former officials of BP Batam and former civil servant with the Ministry of Finance to join ISIS.
Of the hundreds of Indonesian citizens who have emigrated and joined the ISIS detected there are two major motivations, namely the economy and ideology. Economic motives happen to investigators rose individually, face to face, which usually have a social relationship with a recruiter who had already joined the ISIS.
The second motive was ideological. This motif can arise because information about ISIS through social media and mass media. Interaction with ISIS in Syria occurred with the help of the internet and after intense communication. After the communication is done and then raising the person garnering finally decided to move to join ISIS with ideological motivations.
In addition to migration, garnering people through social media and the media, can be manipulated as a lone wolf for action in Indonesia. It's like in Tangerang (20/20/2016) in the case of police assault, and assault on the Catholic Church in Medan (28/08/2016). With the motivation of ideology and doctrines and the promise of a heavenly offender compelled to commit acts of terror.
Causative Factors
The majority of Indonesian citizens easily entered and indoctrinated in ideology by ISIS shows there are serious problems that must be addressed by the government. Supposedly Indonesian national ideology Pancasila and the philosophy of national unity capable of being filter the entry of ideology as used by ISIS, which justifies the vile ways to achieve the goal.
Indonesian citizens with Pancasila ideology and philosophy of national unity in Indonesia are aware of the difference, the difference is treated as something that enrich and unite the Indonesian nation so as to create national unity. However, if as Indonesian citizens have the nature of nationalism is low, it will open itself to look for other ideologies that are considered in accordance with her wishes. Cracks lack of nationalism and a thirst for ideology is utilized by ISIS through recruiters directly and through social media to mobilize supporters.
Nationalism will remain intact if the citizens feel the state is present and be able to serve its citizens. If state officials and political elites preoccupied with their own interests, the confidence of citizens in the government will fade and directly nationalism will be reduced. This was evident at the various demonstrations lately that displays actions against symbols of the state as an insult against the President or the flag. If high or strong nationalism of course it will not happen.
Effect of intolerant groups against the entry of hardline ideology is quite significant. Group or organization intolerant especially against Pancasila or affiliated with the banned organization like ISIS must be dealt with firmly. If left unchecked and people see that the state does not take action against these groups then this becomes the way for the Pancasila ideology other than to exist in Indonesia.
Attitudes and decisive action must be taken to indicate the position of the state to protect its citizens from foreign ideology and understanding. Inaction by the government would create doubts of the citizens to the state, the government, and philosophy nation. This gap is very dangerous because it can be used to undermine nationalism.
The government must quickly overcome this phenomenon. The values of Pancasila ideology and philosophy of national unity must be fostered as fortresses back in the forefront preventforeign ideologies that are not appropriate. The foreign notions despite the ideological packaging will raise Indonesian citizens and will be pitting fellow Indonesian citizens.
State must be present for its citizens, leaders and political elite as a good role model for the implementation of Pancasila values and national unity, not just fighting each other and show off the power stage scrambling action. Distrust of citizens towards the government and his political elite will open a wide gap for ideology and foreign interests.
Deradicalization must be preceded by the trust of citizens towards the government and the political elite. The trust will be energy for citizens to move together with the government to remain faithful to the ideology of Pancasila and the philosophy of unity in diversity and the fight against foreign ideology that potentially disrupt the country. If the political elite still kept fighting and showed the unhealthy political points and drab, then get ready just a list of people like Wiwoho and TriyonoUtomo length increases.
Nationalism should be raised, strengthened and built as a frontline preventative foreign ideologies entered Indonesia, and it must start from the exemplary leadership and political elite.

The problem is the master cylinder. Assuming the front is disc then your peddle pressure will remain constant with a little more travel as the rear shoes wear down. Have the master cylinder replaced.

That is the abs.There is a procedure to bleeding abs. You also need a non return valve if you are doing it alone. Vehicle must be running
Ok thanks a lot for your help.

Day 1 - Back To The Slopes
Avoriaz Travel Blog› entry 1 of 7 › view all entries
January 23rd, 2010 – by: tommylennie
About 30mins after setting foot in Switzerland, we were soon leaving the country and heading to France, and in particular, Avoriaz. First impressions were very good. The resort was beautifully picturesque, sitting on a shelf high above the town of Morzine and was drowned in snow.
After getting all kitted out, it was only right that we went for our first beers of the holiday. First of many actually. We pottered around the town for the rest of the day, taking it all in before we swung by the supermarket to buy crates and crates of beer.
That night, the girls versed us on the week's entertainment. We'd be participating in our very own Come Dine With Me, in teams of 3. We each devised a set of quiz questions for our very own pub quiz to be held later on in the week as well. The girls also outlined the categories for our little internal competition, with prizes for best spill, best costume (more on that later) and best beard. It should be noted that all the guys of our group agreed to grow a beard prior to the ski trip. We saw out the night with plenty of beers and banter, and the girls cooked chili con carne for their first entry in the Come Dine With Me challenge.

IPL 9: Virat Kohli's RCB take on Delhi Daredevils in virtual knock-out
Raipur: As the Indian Premier League (IPL) gears up for its business end, a confident Royal Challengers Bangalore will lock horns with a rejuvenated Delhi Daredevils for a virtual knock-out clash here today.
Virat Kohli
On a roll after notching three consecutive wins, RCB are at the third spot with 14 points from 13 matches while Delhi have as many points but are placed sixth in the table, lagging behind the Virat Kohli-led side only in net run-rate. It will be a battle between RCB's strong batting line-up, consisting of the dangerous trio of Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers and Delhi's bowling led by the seasoned Zaheer Khan and Amit Mishra. Bangalore will once again bank on their skipper, who has turned into an epitome of consistency with the willow. Kohli has smashed four tons to score 865 runs from 13 matches.
Considered the team's weak link, the bowling department has slowly started to improve with the spin-pace duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Shane Watson taking 16 wickets each.
On the other hand, coming back from a last ball thrilling win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi will depend heavily on their skipper Zaheer and senior leg-spinner Mishra to counter RCB's batting prowess. The team's success will also depend on Chris Morris and Carlos Brathwaite to not only restrict RCB's fireworks but also wield the willow.

Motorists are being warned to expect delays when roadworks are carried out on one of Rotherham's busiest routes.
Repairs to the A57 Worksop Road, North Anston, are to be carried out for 11 weeks from Monday, April 3.
The stretch from the junction with Sheffield Road to Lindrick Dale is to be affected.
In a bid to reduce disruption, the roadworks will be carried out between 8.30pm and 5.30am.
Colin Knight, Rotherham Council's Head of Service for Highways, said: "This section of the A57 is very heavily used with more than 18,000 vehicles a day, including HGVs, passing through it, and this has taken its toll on the condition of the road.
"During the work, there will be a reduced speed limit in place, traffic lights in operation and convoy working will also be used to move road users past the works at a safe speed.
"We apologise for any inconvenience to local residents and motorists, but we hope that by carrying out the work overnight, disruption will be minimised."
