The Maps Embed API lets you place an interactive map, or Street View
panorama on your site with a simple HTTP request. It can be easily embedded in
your web page or blog by setting the Maps Embed API URL as the
src attribute of an iframe:
frameborder="0" style="border:0"
&q=Space+Needle,Seattle+WA" allowfullscreen>
Easy embedding
Maps Embed API maps are easy to add to your webpage—just set
the URL you build as the value of an iframe's
src attribute. Control the size
of the map with the iframe's
height and
width attributes. No JavaScript
Advertisements on the map
The Maps Embed API may include on-map advertising. The ad format and the set of ads shown in any given map may change without notice.
Before you begin
Get a key
To use the Maps Embed API, you must include a free API key when making a request to the API.
Follow the instructions in the guide to getting an API key to register your app project on the Google Cloud Console, and get a Google API key to add to your app or website.
Enable billing
Before you start using the Maps Embed API, you need a project with a billing account and the Maps Embed API enabled. To learn more, see Get Started with Google Maps Platform.
Forming the URL
The URL for an Maps Embed API request is as follows:
{MODE}is one of
directions, or
{YOUR_API_KEY}is your free API key.
parametersinclude optional parameters, as well as mode-specific parameters.
Basic Map Modes
Specify which map mode to use in the request URL.
Place mode
Place mode displays a map pin at a particular place or address, such as a
landmark, business, geographic feature, or town.
The following URL parameter is required:
qdefines the place to highlight on the map. It accepts a location as either a place name, address, or place ID. The string should be URL-escaped, so an address such as "City Hall, New York, NY" should be converted to
City+Hall,New+York,NY, a plus code such as "849VCWC8+R9" must be converted to
849VCWC8%2BR9. (The Maps Embed API supports both
%20when escaping spaces.) Place IDs should be prefixed with
View mode
View mode returns a map with no markers or directions.
The example below uses the optional
maptype parameter to display a
satellite view of the map.
The following URL parameter is required:
centerdefines the center of the map window, and accepts a latitude and a longitude as comma-separated values (
Advanced Map Modes
Specify which map mode to use in the request URL.
Directions mode
Directions mode displays the path between two or more specified points
on the map, as well as the distance and travel time.
The following URL parameters are required:
origindefines the starting point from which to display directions. The value can be either a place name, address, place ID, or lat/lng coordinates (for example,
&origin=47.625215,-122.337326). The string should be URL-escaped, so an address such as "City Hall, New York, NY" should be converted to
City+Hall,New+York,NY, a plus code such as "849VCWC8+R9" must be converted to
849VCWC8%2BR9. The Maps Embed API supports both
%20when escaping spaces.) Place IDs should be prefixed with
destinationdefines the end point of the directions.
The following URL parameters are optional:
waypointsspecifies one or more intermediary places to route directions through between the origin and destination. Multiple waypoints can be specified by using the pipe character (|) to separate places (e.g.
Berlin,Germany|Paris,France). You can specify up to 20 waypoints. Each waypoint can be either a place name, address or place ID.
modedefines the method of travel. Options are
walking(which prefers pedestrian paths and sidewalks, where available),
bicycling(which routes via bike paths and preferred streets where available),
transit, or
flying. If no mode is specified, the Maps Embed API will show one or more of the most relevant modes for the specified route.
avoidtells Google Maps to avoid
highways. Separate multiple values with the pipe character (e.g.
avoid=tolls|highways). Note that this doesn't preclude routes that include the restricted feature(s); it biases the result to more favorable routes.
unitsspecifies either
imperialunits when displaying distances in the results. If
unitsare not specified, the
origincountry of the query determines the units to use.
Street View mode
The Maps Embed API lets you display Street View images on your site or blog as interactive panoramas. Google Street View provides panoramic views from designated locations throughout its coverage area. User contributed Photospheres, and Street View special collections are also available.
Each Street View panorama provides a full 360-degree view from a single
location. Images contain 360 degrees of horizontal view (a full wrap-around)
and 180 degrees of vertical view (from straight up to straight down). The
streetview mode provides a viewer that renders the resulting panorama as a
sphere with a camera at its center. You can manipulate the camera to control
the zoom and the orientation of the camera.
One of the following URL parameters are required:
locationaccepts a latitude and a longitude as comma-separated values (
46.414382,10.013988). The API will display the panorama photographed closest to this location. Because Street View imagery is periodically refreshed, and photographs may be taken from slightly different positions each time, it's possible that your location may snap to a different panorama when imagery is updated.
panois a specific panorama ID. If you specify a
panoyou may also specify a
location. The
locationwill be only be used if the API cannot find the panorama ID.
The following URL parameters are optional:
headingindicates the compass heading of the camera in degrees clockwise from North. Accepted values are from -180° to 360°.
pitchspecifies the angle, up or down, of the camera. The
pitchis specified in degrees from -90° to 90°. Positive values will angle the camera up, while negative values will angle the camera down. The default pitch of 0° is set based on on the position of the camera when the image was captured. Because of this, a pitch of 0° is often, but not always, horizontal. For example, an image taken on a hill will likely exhibit a default pitch that is not horizontal.
fovdetermines the horizontal field of view of the image. The field of view is expressed in degrees, with a range of 10° - 100°. It defaults to 90°. When dealing with a fixed-size viewport the field of view is can be considered the zoom level, with smaller numbers indicating a higher level of zoom.
languagedefines the language to use for UI elements and labels. By default, visitors will see UI elements in their own language.
regiondefines the appropriate borders and labels to display, based on geo-political sensitivities. Accepts a region code specified as a two-character ccTLD (top-level domain) value.
Search mode
Search mode displays results for a search across the visible map region.
It's recommended that a location for the search be defined, either by
including a location in the search term (
record+stores+in+Seattle) or
by including a
center and
zoom parameter to bound the search.
The following URL parameter is required:
qspecifies the search term. It can include a geographic restriction, such as
Optional parameters
The following optional parameters can be used with any of the map modes listed above.
centerdefines the center of the map view. It accepts a comma-separated latitude and longitude value (such as
zoomsets the initial zoom level of the map. Accepted values range from 0 (the whole world) to 21 (individual buildings). The upper limit can vary depending on the map data available at the selected location.
maptypecan be either
roadmap(the default) or
satellite, and defines the type of map tiles to load.
languagedefines the language to use for UI elements and for the display of labels on map tiles. Note that this parameter is only supported for some country tiles; if the specific language requested is not supported for the tile set, then the default language for that tileset will be used. By default, visitors will see a map in their own language.
regiondefines the appropriate borders and labels to display, based on geo-political sensitivities. Accepts a region code specified as a two-character ccTLD (top-level domain) value.
Place ID parameters
The Maps Embed API supports using place IDs instead of supplying a place name or address. Place IDs are stable way to uniquely identify a place. See the Google Places API documentation for more information on how to find and use place IDs.
The Maps Embed API accepts place IDs for the following URL parameters:
In order to use a place ID, you must first add the prefix
place_id:. The
following code specifies New York City Hall as the origin for a directions
radiussets a radius, specified in meters, in which to search for a panorama, centered on the given latitude and longitude. Valid values are non-negative integers. Default value is 50.
sourcelimits Street View searches to selected sources. Valid values are:
defaultuses the default sources for Street View; searches are not limited to specific sources.
outdoorlimits searches to outdoor collections. Indoor collections are not included in search results. Note that outdoor panoramas may not exist for the specified location. Also note that the search only returns panoramas where it's possible to determine whether they're indoors or outdoors. For example, PhotoSpheres are not returned because it's unknown whether they are indoors or outdoors.
Embedding the map
To use the Maps Embed API on your web page, set the URL you've
built as the value of an iframe's
src attribute. Control the map's size with
the iframe's
height and
width attributes:
frameborder="0" style="border:0"
src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/search?key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=record+stores+in+Seattle" allowfullscreen>
Tip: Add allowfullscreen to your iframe properties to allow
certain map parts to go full screen.
Tip: The
frameborder="0" and
style="border:0" properties
remove the standard iframe border from around the map.
You can resize the iframe to suit the structure and design of your own website, but we find that visitors usually find it easier to interact with larger maps. Note that embedded maps are not supported below a size of 200px in either dimension.

On Friday, two New York state track and field championships went to mid-Hudson Valley athletes. On Saturday, Darnell Cummings doubled that total.
The Millbrook senior standout began his day with the state Division 2 title in the 100-meter dash — the third year in a row he's won the honor — continued the day by winning his first state Division 2 title in the 200, and then kept the party rolling with a Federation title in the 100.
Pawling's Sami Jorgensen also can call herself a state champion, taking top honors in the Division II 2,000 steeplechase race.
On Friday, Pawling's Kevin Hunter finished first in the state Division 2 400 race for his first state title, before Arlington's Jordan Yamoah claimed top honors in the Federation in the pole vault.
Yamoah's winning height of 16 feet, 6 inches, surpassed Joel Carusonee's 1999 state meet record of 16-5.

What's wrong with that video from last night? Things seems a bit skewed, distorted, and wiggly-jiggly. No, I'm not focused on that redhead in the tiny pink shirt, I'm talking about a fixable issue with CMOS-based video cameras.
RollingShutter, a plug-in for After Effects and Nuke, recently came to our attention, not because it's a good plug-in (although it is), but because it brings up a flaw with CMOS sensors: Video cameras using CMOS sensors tend to suffer from a major annoyance in the form of skewing anytime the camera is shifted or a fast-moving object flies through the frame. This is mainly due to the line-by-line top-to-bottom scanning done by these cameras and it will make your videos look like a mild acid trip.
The good news is that this pesky issue can be corrected post-production with tools such as RollingShutter. What RollingShutter does is use Local Motion Technology to correct that unsightly jiggling. This means that rather than globally correcting entire frames, the plug-in corrects individual parts of the images and prevents accidental introduction of new distortion.
Your camera won't learn to focus on the fly all of the sudden, but the difference in the before and after clips in the video is pretty huge and almost makes RollingShutters $500 price tag an easier pill to swallow for those who only want their jello to wiggle and jiggle.

Displaying items by tag: Les Misérables, Killing Them Softly, Cloud Atlas, Zulu Dawn, Life of Pi, Bluray, Bluray 3D, Bill Hunt
Killing Them Softly, Zulu Dawn & more, still no Cloud Atlas date, plus Les Misérables pre-orders
All right, we've got another great new Blu-ray Disc review for you this afternoon from our own Joe Marchese. Joe's given Warner's new Blu-ray Book release of the 1927 classic The Jazz Singer a look, and he's got his thoughts on it for you all to read today. Enjoy!
Speaking of Warner, as many of you know Amazon.com recently pulled pre-orders of BD and DVD release of Cloud Atlas, which had been listed on the retail site as coming on 2/5. The studio is sending out reminders to the press today reiterating once again that Cloud Atlas isn't coming on 2/5 and that in fact the title has not yet been officially announced by the studio, just in case there was any lingering confusion. So put your plans on hold for the time being and we'll post official details as they come in.
Meanwhile, Amazon is already taking pre-orders for the Blu-ray Combo and DVD release of Universal's Les Misérables, directed by Tom Hooper (SRP $34.98 and $24.98). No street date or official announcement is available yet.
In other release news today, Anchor Bay and The Weinstein Company have just set Killing Them Softly for Blu-ray Combo and DVD release on 3/26 (SRP $39.99 and $29.98). The film stars Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Sam Shepard and more. Extras will include deleted scenes and The Making of Killing Them Softly featurette.
Music Box Films has set Any Day Now for Blu-ray and DVD release on 4/23.
Magnolia Home Entertainment will release John Dies at the End on Blu-ray and DVD on 4/2.
Flicker Alley will release Nanook of the North, The Wedding of Palo and other Films of Arctic Life on Blu-ray on 3/12.
Severin Films has Zulu Dawn (1979) set for Blu-ray release on 3/12.
And a heads-up for you Disney animation fans: Lady and the Tramp, Lady and the Tramp II and all three Lion King films are apparently set to go "back in the vault" in March. So if you want to get your hands on the Blu-rays, they might cost you more on the secondary market if you wait too long.
Here's a look at the Blu-ray covert artwork for Killing Them Softly, Weinstein's The Master (due 2/26) and revised/final Blu-ray 3D cover art for Fox's Life of Pi (3/12)…
Stay tuned.

Re: new member?
What kind of email account is she using. I had similar troubles here too when I registered my previous account under my college email and due to high security most of the stuff that should be sent to my email did not make it past the system (such as private messages) and the confirmation email took forever to get through as well. Some emails are not compatible. I recommend using a gmail, yahoo, daum, msn, sympatico, or AOL.
Re: new member?
thanks for your responses but have been a little tied up, will try to get round to sorting it out sometime this week.

Hear how Robert fostered his early interest in ornithology.More about Childhood
Robert is fascinated by the Museum's historical collections. These collections both look to the past, casting light on the lives of their collectors, and to the future, enabling study of evolutionary or environmental processes in novel ways as new techniques are developed. The Museum's bird collections are meaningful for Robert on both a professional and personal level, in their signifance as a resource for scientific study and in his emotional connection with the materials built through on-going curatorial care.
Robert's interest in natural history began at a young age, where he enjoyed studying nature, in particular birds, and writing up his observations. Robert was able to continue pursuing this interest during his career, in the course of which he has conducted research in many parts of the world. In one of these video-clips, Robert refers to his two years of field study on Aldabra. As a part of his work there, Robert was sadly witness to the slide towards extinction of a species: the Aldabra Brush Warbler.
Hear how Robert fostered his early interest in ornithology.
Listen to Robert talk about how a curator develops a relationship with the collections.

Always 2 to 6 months behind, a mostly after-the-fact study done by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has some interesting research, comments, and charts – all of which point to a severe downturn in the leverage of Commercial Banks and a precipitous drop in the amount of debt that was being securitized towards the end of last year.
This deleveraging is at the heart of why, despite massive increases in the money supply, deflation and not inflation has been occurring across most asset classes that are dependant upon financing – things like homes and commercial real estate.
Here are some pertinent charts from the report…
Note that the issuance of asset backed securities cliff dove all the way to zero by the beginning of this year:
The Growth Rate of Asset Backed Securities went negative at the end of 2008:
Leverage at the Primary Dealers had declined precipitously by year's end.
These charts do not include what is occurring now. I do believe that a great deleveraging is occurring, but I believe the large banks in particular are far more leveraged than the above chart would indicate – still. Zombie banks, while they are trying furiously to reignite the shadow banking system are fighting the math of parabolic collapse. Despite their best efforts, I don't believe they are going back to a period of never ending growth anytime soon. As Kondratieff would say, it's not the time of the season!

Pregnancy is a time of joy, but for many women, a time of unprecedented worry. Along with the admonitions about caffeine, lunchmeat and wine, many pregnant women are told they should get rid of their cats because of health risks. With a few basic safety precautions, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that pregnant women do not need to give up their cats.
Most concerns about cats have to do with an organism called Toxoplasma gondii, a microscopic parasite carried by cats. If a woman is exposed to the organism for the first time during pregnancy, the organism can pass to her unborn baby and cause severe medical problems.
When a cat is first exposed to the Toxoplasma organism, it sheds the organism in its feces for approximately two weeks. Once shed in the feces, it takes one to five days before the organism develops into the infectious state. After that single period, they are no longer infectious.
Women who have been exposed to Toxoplasma before becoming pregnant are not at risk of infecting the baby. A blood test exists to determine if you have been previously exposed. In order for a woman to pass on Toxoplasma to her baby from her cat, both the cat and the woman must be exposed for the first time during the woman's pregnancy.
Common sources of infection include undercooked meat, unwashed produce and ingestion of oocytes (the infectious agent) while gardening — usually not from the family cat.
If you are pregnant, here are some of the basic steps recommended by the CDC to minimize exposure to Toxoplasma:
- Change the cat litter daily. Better yet, have a housemate take over litter duties for the duration of the pregnancy.
- Cook meat thoroughly.
- Wash hands frequently, especially after gardening.
- Avoid feeding your pet raw meat.

Fetch TV has launched a desktop application programmed to block all FIFA World Cup results for those of you unfortunate enough to miss out on the live action.
The 'Spoiler Spoiler' app, available as a free extension for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox users around the world, works by censoring all text which it deems is related to the football tournament regardless of which Web site you visit.
It does this by actively scanning Web sites for countries, team names, and World Cup-related terms. These are then automatically covered with the colours of a user-selected team.
It is also compatible with social media Web sites, and will blot out individual posts so you can use these as well.
This means you can record the overnight action taking place in Brazil, and watch it after work or school without having to steer clear of the Internet.
Fetch TV has confirmed to Good Gear Guide that Spoiler Spoiler will be constantly repurposed for a number of major events, with the Oscars to face the same treatment. Each event will require a new download.
Conveniently, Spoiler Spoiler's filter can be bypassed; simply click on a Web page and confirm you wish to view the content once the warning prompt pops up.
Fetch TV's Spoiler Spoiler app is now live, and can be downloaded from here.

September Collective may well be the most beautiful electronic record of the year. It features Stefan Schneider (To Rococo Rot and Mapstation), Barbara Morgenstern, and Polish born musician, Paul Wirkus, in a series of improvisations which originated from the encores they played together while touring Poland as three solo projects. At a time when improvisation often seems more about the musicians' egos than the music, September Collective is all about melody, rhythm, surprise, context; and it's impossible to listen to without imagining a time or a place. Perhaps because it was recorded there, it starts to feel Polish. Sleeve artist, Alison Mitchell, seems to have imagined a pastoral neo-1960s world which we sometimes see in the incredible Polish screen prints of that time.
In other ways this record, which is by three absolutely modern musicians, has a soft-focus melancholy about it; in the outro of The Return for instance, an acoustic guitar suddenly seeps into the mix affecting the whole sound and recalling comedown moments in soundtracks by John Barry and Ennio Morricone. It also touches on Schneider and Morgenstern's recent work with Bill Wells, and on Wirkus's Intelletto D'Amore set. In the process, each musician is constantly adding something; a melody line, an atmosphere, a forward propulsion, and the whole of the record is always fluid and three-dimensional. Part of the September Collective magic is that it's never that easy to identify which member is doing what, although one thing all three members pay attention to is melody.
Recently The Wire identified Wirkus as one of the true pioneers of laptop based music, comparing him to Fennesz in his ability to zoom out from the technical moment of the glitch, and to present a picture of the music which is taking place. Although less concerned with the glitch, this description applies equally well to Schneider who always seems to instinctively know exactly where he is in a piece of music, and has expertly added low-end melody lines and morse code signals to To Rococo Rot, and a complete design in his own Mapstation project. Morgenstern's music is perhaps the most eclectic of the trio, switching between an almost neo-classical sense of music structure and the avant-pop brilliance of her three Monika albums. If the September Collective always has a good energy or momentum, it's hard not to imagine Morgenstern driving things forward, and never allowing things to become stuck in the static moment.

World News - The Bastard Patriot Act Renewal Clears Final Hurdle
Months overdue in a midterm election year, the USA Patriot Act renewal cleared a final hurdle in the Senate Tuesday on its way to President Bush's desk. But the bill's sponsor said he is unsatisfied with the measure's privacy protections and far from done tinkering with the centerpiece of Bush's war on terrorism."The issue is not concluded," said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa. He said he plans more legislation and hearings on restoring House-rejected curbs on government power.The Senate voted 69-30 Tuesday _ 60 votes were needed _ to limit debate and bring the bill to a final vote that could occur as early as Wednesday. The House then would vote and send the legislation to the White House. Sixteen major provisions would expire March 10 if President Bush doesn't sign the bill by then.Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, did not vote....

Most adults in the United States think former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein did not play a role in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, according to a poll by the New York Times and CBS News. 57 per cent of respondents think Hussein was not involved in the events of 9/11. Al-Qaeda operatives hijacked and crashed four airplanes on Sept. 11, 2001, killing nearly 3,000 people. In June 2004, the federal commission that investigated the events of 9/11 stated that there had been "no collaborative relationship" between the deposed Iraqi regime and the terrorist network in the planning and carrying out of the attacks. On Jun. 17, 2004, U.S. president George W. Bush dismissed the findings of the federal commission, declaring, "This administration never said that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated between Saddam and al-Qaeda. ...

Pakistan forces kill up to 30 militants in tribal area
Pakistani helicopter gunships and ground forces attacked a militant hideout near the Afghan border on Wednesday killing up to 30 people, according to a senior official in the North Waziristan tribal region.Sayed Zaheerul Islam, the political agent and top government administrator in North Waziristan, said between 25 and 30 foreign fighters and tribal militants had been killed and more wounded.

Shiites Told: Leave Home Or Be Killed
Salim Rashid, 34, a Shiite laborer in an overwhelmingly Sunni Arab village 20 miles north of Baghdad, received his eviction notice Friday from a man at the door with a rocket launcher."It's 6 p.m.," Rashid recounted the masked man saying then, as retaliatory violence between Shiites and Sunnis exploded across wide swaths of central Iraq. "We want you out of here by 8 p.m. tomorrow. If we find you here, we will kill you."Walking, hitchhiking and hiring cars, the Rashid clan and many of the 25 other families evicted from the town of Mishada had made their way by Tuesday to a youth center in Baghdad's heavily Shiite neighborhood of Shoula. There, other people forced from their homes were already sharing space on donated mattresses....

Lax laws 'could turn Nazi crank into global epidemic'
A NEW highly addictive drug used in Britain by clubbers and gay men is becoming a global problem, according to a United Nations report published today. The huge increase in use of methamphetamine crystal meth is being helped by lax restrictions on the chemicals used to manufacture it. People who take it can experience a ten-hour high and increased sexual arousal. Professor Hamid Ghodse, president of a United Nations drug control agency, said: If I want to pick on one major drug problem pandemic today, it is methamphetamine. It has not yet affected that much of Western European countries and the UK but, as we know, as drug misuse occurs in North America, sooner or later it gets here. Methamphetamine is todays problem drug. We think that it is extremely worrying. ...

Protest Over AOL's Pay-to-Send E-mail Plan. So if they charge to send spam, then its not SPAM???
If politics makes strange bedfellows, "certified e-mail" is making a lot of disparate groups downright kinky. This afternoon, groups from across the political spectrum -- from the Gun Owners of America to MoveOn.org to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) -- will all bed down together to rise up against America Online's (AOL) plan to charge for certain classes of e-mail. "Under AOL's recently announced proposal, large e-mailers willing to pay an 'e-mail tax' can bypass spam filters and get guaranteed access to people's inboxes -- with their messages having a preferential high-priority designation," an EFF statement claims. AOL does not see the proposal as a tax on e-mail users. In early February, AOL said the idea is to guarantee certified bulk mailers a fee for free passage through the company's filters and other anti-spam devices. ...

text: I recently hacked the Hifiberry-DAC driver so that it would support the PT8211 16 bit stereo DAC. This works flawlessly, and it's damn easy to wire this up to the pi. I'd like to make this a real driver and contribute to rpi-linux repository. Unfortunately, when I change the name from snd-soc-hifiberry-dac.ko to snd-soc-pt8211.ko, it just refuses to work. Is this a driver tree issue? Can anybody help me? I'd like to contribute, especially since the PT8211 is so easy to work with and nice for beginners...

Truck driver gets 2 years in teen's death
Kenneth Barbour, 55, who had already pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and reckless driving for plowing into Albemarle High student Sydney Aichs as she turned out of Forest Lakes onto U.S. 29 on her way to school May 9, 2008, was sentenced to 10 years in jail July 28, with eight suspended on the manslaughter charge, a $500 fine and six months suspended on the reckless driving charge. He goes back to court November 12 for a $15 million civil suit filed by the Aichs family.
1 comment
I think its terrible when a family loses a child so my heart goes out to the family..But My heart goes out to the Barbour family also..I believe Mr.Barbour truely had shown that he knows that he was at blame..So The reason that I am writing this is that I think that the Aichs Family shouldn't be sueing Mr Barbour..Do they really think that 15 million will bring back thier child and also isn't 15 million a little high for a working man with a family..What are they trying to tell the Charlottesville area??? It was a terrible Tragic Accident and I feel for both sides Really I don't know Why I wrote this..Maybe WE ALL SHOULD SAY A PRAYER...

Syrian envoy to London defects amid Aleppo fight
BEIRUT -- Syria's top diplomat in London said he could no longer represent the regime and defected Monday, as civilians fled the commercial hub of Aleppo in droves amid 10 days of fierce battles between rebels and government forces.
Britain's Foreign Office said that Khaled al-Ayoubi, the charge d'affaires, told officials that he wasn't willing to represent the regime any longer, the latest high-profile defection of a diplomat from Syria over the bloody crackdown on the opposition since March 2011.
Fighting is heating up in Aleppo, Syria's largest city with 3 million people. The U.N. said 200,000 Syrians have left over the past 10 days as the government trains its mortars, tank and helicopter gunships on the neighborhoods seized by the rebels.
"I am extremely concerned by the impact of shelling and use of tanks and other heavy weapons on people in Aleppo," Valerie Amos, the top U.N. official for humanitarian affairs, said in a statement late Sunday. "Many people have sought temporary shelter in schools and other public buildings in safer areas," she added. "They urgently need food, mattresses and blankets, hygiene supplies and drinking water."
Amos said U.N. agencies and the Syrian Red Crescent are working together on supplying those affected by the fighting with blankets and humanitarian supplies, but many remain out of their reach because of the violence.
"It is not known how many people remain trapped in places where fighting continues today," she warned. Aleppo is Syria's largest city and commercial hub with about 3 million inhabitants.
Aleppo is some 30 miles away from the Turkish border and some of those fleeing the city are headed for Turkey, where tens of thousands of Syrians have already found refuge during the 17-month uprising against authoritarian President Bashar Assad's rule.
Turkey is deploying more troops to the border, sending tanks, armored combat vehicles, more missile launchers and infantry troops, the state-run Anadolu agency reported.
Greece has responded by quadrupling the number of guards on its borders with Turkey out of fear of a potential influx of Syrian refugees. Those fleeing Aleppo have described to The Associated Press incessant shelling, shortages of food and gasoline and soaring black market prices for everyday staples.
In online videos they can be seen scurrying through streets against a backdrop of gunfire and climbing onto any form of transportation available to escape, including trucks, cars and even heavily laden motorcycles.
"Dozens of families are packing their belongings and leaving in cars and trucks," said an activist in a village near Aleppo, who declined to give his name for security reasons. "They are only taking light possessions that they can carry, like a few clothes, some valuables and that's it."
"I saw cars with eight, nine people packed in them fleeing the bombing," he added. He said rebels had seized a nearby checkpoint early in the morning and captured several tanks. The regime responded by shelling the rural area just northwest of the city. "Entire families are leaving."
Videos of the attack on the checkpoint posted Monday in the Internet show fierce exchanges of fire in the early morning and then later, victorious rebels hauling out boxes of ammunition and taking heavy machine guns for the fight in Aleppo.
The activist said refugees have fled to nearby villages where they stay with relatives or find shelter in local schools. Some however, are making the trip to the Turkish border.
Syrian state media had reported the army had "purged" Aleppo's southwestern neighborhood of Salaheddine and inflicted "great losses" upon the rebels in one of the first districts they took control of in their bid to seize the city.
Activists, however, disputed these claims and just described another day of fierce shelling of certain areas, backed up by the occasional foray on the ground. The assault has knocked down power lines and the neighborhood has been without electricity since the morning.
Gen. Babacar Gaye, the head of the United Nations Observer Mission in Syria expressed concerned over the ongoing violence in Aleppo, noting that "helicopters, tanks and artillery are being used."
Gaye visited the town of Rastan, just outside the city of Homs in central Syria, which has witnessed heavy fighting. Footage from his trip showed a devastated town with burnt out tanks by the side of the road and many destroyed buildings.
"We will be monitoring the level of violence and the use of heavy weapons in Syria. We will also be assessing if there is readiness and, if possible, progress for local confidence-building measures and national dialogue," said Gaye, whose mission is to monitor a cease-fire that has never been observed by either side.
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said late Sunday that the use of heavy weapons, particularly helicopters, is just another nail in President Bashar Assad's coffin. He spoke during a stopover in Tunisia as he kicked off a Mideast tour expected to focus heavily on the unfolding crisis in Syria.
Al-Ayoubi, the Syrian diplomat in London, is the fourth high ranking envoy to defect. He was preceded by the charge d'affaires in Cyprus, her husband, a diplomat in the UAE, and by the ambassador to Iraq.
A Foreign Office spokesman said al-Ayoubi was staying in a safe location in the United Kingdom and was in contact with British officials. His departure leaves five staff at the embassy and there has been no indication that they would be leaving their posts as well.
Turkey also reported that the deputy head of security for Syria's Latakia region, a regime stronghold, had defected as well.
The brigadier general was among a group of 12 Syrian officers who crossed into Turkey late Sunday, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters. His defection raised to 28 the number of generals who have left for Turkey since the start of the 17-month-old uprising.
Syria's army remains mostly intact, however, and still vastly outguns the rebel forces, who are armed for the most part with assault rifles and machine guns and don't have the heavy weapons necessary to effectively oppose tanks and helicopter gunships.
Associated Press writer Suzan Fraser from Ankara, Turkey, Zeina Karam from Beirut, and Paisley Dodd from London contributed to this report.

Follow the steps below if you want support for eMule:
- Please read the forum rules.
- Look at and read eMule's documentation. This applies especially for the FAQ, Setting Up eMule, General Information and Beginners Guide.
- Check the Quck help & guides sub-forum for answers to common problems regarding eg. "Why are my downloads so slow?", "I need a new server.met file", "How to install or update your eMule", "A4AF - What does it mean?", "I have a Low ID" and "How to filter IP's with eMule".
- Search the forum either by looking through different threads in the various forums or by performing a search. Remember that most questions have been asked and answered before so take your time searching because you will probably find something.
- If all of the above mentioned things doesn't answer your question then start a new thread in the appropriate forum. There is a description of the various forums below the link leading to the fourm. All questions or issues related to Mods must be posted in the Mod Forum and preferably in the thread for the applicable Mod. Below is a quote of the things you should include in your post:
Important Support Information When Starting New Threads said:Pc Configuration
- Operating System

- Is Protocol Obfuscation enabled?
- Found sources (Statistics -> Transfer -> Downloads -> Session -> Found sources)
- I get a message saying '[Some name] is an agent from PeerFactor, she advises you to stop your eMule!' (wording might differ)
Apparently this is the lastest spamming messages from the leecher mod Ketamine. Don't reply to the users sending out these messages since the messages are automated. What you need to do is take part of the message eg PeerFactor and go to eMule's Preferences -> Security -> Filter messages containing: (Seperator |) and put that word or part of the phrase there. Doing so will make sure that you will not get any messages containing that word or phrase again.
- I get a message saying 'Need a new eMule Mod? Join the L33cher Team and buy a Ketamine!'
This message is sent out by users of the leecher mod Ketamine. Don't reply to the users sending out these messages since the messages are automated. What you need to do is take part of the message eg L33cher and go to eMule's Preferences -> Security -> Filter messages containing: (Seperator |) and put that word or part of the phrase there. Doing so will make sure that you will not get any messages containing that word or phrase again.
- Users keeps requesting a list of your shared files. What's wrong?
This is not something related to any organisation protecting copyrights but the work of some MLDonkoney clients since some MLDonkey clients automatically ask for the list of shared files. You might often see the name "geaiez" used which is the default nickname for MLDonkey clients like "http://emule-project.net" is for emule clients. You might also see other names aswell but just make sure that your client is set to deny permission to view your shared files (on by default) in eMule's Settings -> Files -> See my shared files/directories and choose nobody.
- How do I switch from eDonkey to eMule?
Download the eMule Installer version (since it includes the help file) and install. Then move your eDonkey temp directory to the eMule directory. eDonkey and eMule use the same file format for temp files so all your old DL will be ready to go when you start eMule. You should click the "ED2K Links" button in Preferences -> General so they are associated with eMule or select "Associate Links While eMule is Running" if you want to switch back and forth for a while. There also exist an option to import temp files by pressing alt+X and choosing import part files.
- Why does my eMule connect to a server but is disconnected after less than a minute?
It is likely you are sharing too many files or downloading too many files. The servers have a limited capacity (memory) to index files so they limit the number each user may list. The specific values can be set by each server operator using the Lugdunum enhanced software (used by all the big servers). Here are the basic (default guidelines):
http://lugdunum2k.free.fr/kiten.html said:It has a filter to limit the number of shares for each client. The first limit (soft limit) is 1000 by default. If a client publishes more than 1000 shares, the shares in excess are ignored by the server. Moreover, if the number of shares exceeds the hard limit (5000 by default) the client is kicked off the server, in order to save the bandwidth.
- "[Warning] Your client is connecting too fast, it will get banned"
There is nothing the user can do (within reason) to cause eMule to connect too fast. These messages are also from an MLDonkey client IIRC so represent a very small portion of the ed2k community. Just ignore the message.
- How can I see my credits?
There isn't a simple answer for this one as credits are on a user by user basis rather than a transferable unit. The shortest answer is to compare your total UL to total DL (show in statistics). The higher the ratio of UL to DL the better your credit (but the worse your DL have been). With a specific user you can look in the user details dialog (right-click on another user) and compare your their DL (from you == your UL) with your own DL.
