When simon first took over i thought "oh blood.y hell" as he was a huge annoying prick on channel 4s pop thing, and im a big Mark Lamarr fan, but he gradually won me over and now i prefer it with him. simon and the rest of the panel knew she was high as a kite..Its a shame we dont get programmes like buzzcocks, mock the week, 8 out of 10cats etc on prime time on prime channels instead we have to go hunting for them at 11'oclock on bbcthree or something and they dont get the respect they deserve. No one in the general public knew she was on drugs at the time it was before it all hit the papers and she was still seen as someone to emulate. and the most telling part was him saying "this isnt a quiz show anymore its an intervention!This is a tumblr dedicated to the fantastic, hilarious, sarcastic, amazing wonder that goes by the name Simon Amstell.You probably won't see a lot of original posts on here, but I know from personal experience that it's nice to be able to click onto a tumblr, and find lots of relevant pictures all together in one place.Hopefully you will all have fun meeting singles and try out this online dating thing... oh its been going for 13yrs which surprisd me They're both hysterical, such cutting wit ...Remember that we are the largest free online dating service, so you will never have to pay a dime to meet your soulmate. I wasn't sure when Simon took over, Mark had made the role his own and was so sharp I couldn't imagine anyone bettering him..." and her saying she was off to meet pete docherty after the show and simon saying "dont do it amy he wants to sell you drugs! He was hysterical and she just kept on laughing at him and asking for a drink... He made his name as an interviewer on some teen music programme, where he routinely ridiculed ego-inflated pop stars. Amstell dated Kele from Bloc Party for a few years.
While Simon struggles to make his mum realise that her new boyfriend Clive might not be the right man for her, Grandpa has discovered something that will leave Grandma in a panic.
On his comedy DVD, Amstell makes a comment that we should treat religious people who say "I'm christian/mormon/muslim/whatever" like a child who says "I'm a helicopter".
A pat on the head rather than a "how ridiculous" in reply.
Amstell, who devised Grandma's House following his departure from Never Mind The Buzzcocks, has opened up about a kiss he shares in the first episode of its new series.
In it, Simon kisses actor Oliver Coopersmith, who plays Mark, a boy Simon spends the night with and later finds out is younger than he thought he was.

AIIA open source event a closed shop
The Australian Information Industry Association appears to have decided to educate the corporate world about the use of open source software - but it doesn't want any media present while it does so.
This morning in Melbourne, the AIIA held an industry forum for 120 people. Any media people who tried to register in the run-up to the event were turned away on the grounds that "frank discussion" would not take place if journalists were present.
Last evening, the Canberra-based AIIA representative James McAdam spent a considerable time on the telephone with me, trying to dissuade me from turning up for the event.
His argument was that it would be "discourteous to our members" if the media turned up for events which he said were for AIIA members only.
When it was pointed out that this particular event could not be for members only, as representatives of several vendors and other organisations were also attending, he had no argument to voice.
The Victorian AIIA representative, Kee Wong, who was one of the organisers, said there would be no space for the media. However, according to attendees, there were several empty seats at the morning's forum; even though it was over-subscribed, several of those who registered did not turn up.
Mr Wong's paranoia was so great that at one stage he asked me not to turn up and try to register under a false name.
The event was conducted jointly with the Victorian Government and representatives of Centrelink, IBM, Novell, Red Hat, Amazon, and the John Holland construction company provided insights into the use of open source, both from the perspectives of vendors and users.
Novell's Paul Kangro, Red Hat Linux's Max McLaren, IBM's Ivan Kladnig and CyberSource's Con Zymaris were among those presenting arguments in favour of open source. On the other side, Microsoft's Martin Gregory put forward the arguments for his organisation's proprietary products.
Tech consultant David Boyles, a former chief information officer and chief operating officer of ANZ, moderated the discussion.
But the details of the discussions will remain secret. At times when open source meets closed minds, the latter tend to prevail.

Because the very very first Web site that is dating Match.com, went live in the mid-1990s, online dating sites has developed to be the standard means that singles meet brand brand new individuals. Today, almost 300 million individuals throughout the world usage online dating services. Inspite of the pervasiveness of the industry, nonetheless, numerous users continue steadily to practice habits that place their privacy in danger.
What exactly is online privacy?
Generally speaking, on the web privacy refers to your capability to guard two forms of information: who you really are and everything you do. Certain facts that other people may use to recognize you may be called physically recognizable information (PII). This information includes your title, your date of delivery, your Social Security quantity, your target, your telephone number, an such like. The info in what you are doing online includes exactly exactly what searches you perform, which sites you visit, what articles you read, and also exactly what things you buy on the web.
When you do just about anything on the net, whether it's getting an application, visiting an internet site, or making use of social media marketing, some body is gathering information in regards to you. Which means you might be, nonetheless accidentally, creating a substantial electronic information path. Even though the information in this path may well not include PII, it nevertheless allows strangers to trace that which you do online and build a definite image of you.
Why do I need to concern yourself with on the web privacy?
While internet dating services are continuously innovating to help make the internet a safer spot to find relationship, it nevertheless will pay become proactive about protecting your personal data. There are numerous methods that individuals may use your information that is personal against.
For instance, somebody can use your profile that is dating as in a lawsuit against you. Even with you cancel your membership, dating sites usually shop your profile and photos within their databases, and with respect to the appropriate situation (which may add breakup or custody procedures, legal actions associated with work, and perhaps medical-related legal actions), internet sites must turn this information over in a reaction to a court purchase.
Clues for digital stalkers
Another means that your particular information can harm you is through exposing your real identification once you are attempting to stay anonymous. Photo identification tools like Bing Image Re Re Re Search and TinEye ensure it is possible for you to definitely evaluate who you will be from your own profile images, even although you utilize pseudonyms or any other false information to protect your genuine title. Furthermore, then all someone has to do is to compare the pictures to identify you if a photo that you post on a dating site exists on another online account, such as your Facebook or LinkedIn profile.
You might not see businesses collecting information you along with your online practices as a prospective risk to your privacy, these details can be much less anonymized as you might think it really is. According to Stanford researcher Arvind Narayanan, individuals can simply de-anonymize the information that sites sell to advertising companies by correlating it with areas of a person's browsing history that is public.
Dating internet site protection dilemmas
To create matters worse, a wide range of online sites that are dating really protected. In 2017, researchers at Kaspersky Lab unearthed that a number https://latinwomen.net/ukrainian-brides/ of the biggest online dating sites, including Tinder, OkCupid, and Bumble, had safety flaws that rendered their users' private information at risk of stalkers, hackers, and blackmailers. These flaws could keep users' names, locations, login information, message records, and much more, exposed.
Scientists through the cybersecurity business Checkmarx recently identified two protection dilemmas within the Tinder application. Those two flaws combine to simply help hackers see just what photos users will be looking at and which way users swipe in reaction every single image. Furthermore, the scientists asserted why these weaknesses weren't exclusive to Tinder, but were provided by numerous dating apps.
How do I protect my privacy?
A lot of people treat online dating sites like they might just about any social networking website, but there's a positive change between sharing information that is personal together with your buddies and sharing it with prospective intimate lovers. To shield your privacy when utilizing an on-line site that is dating you need to follow these basic recommendations:
- Secure your online profile having a robust, single-use password.
- Don't produce an account that is new logging in through a social media marketing web web web site like Twitter. Doing this produces a link that is solid your social networking profile as well as your online dating sites one.
- Stay away from similar username that you apply for any other online services because some body might use it to trace you down.
- Never ever share your name that is full, or workplace.
- Don't use your email that is regular target. Rather, get an address that is separate for the relationship.
- Make use of a fake telephone number. They are available through apps like Burner, Flyp, and Sideline. You could put up a phone that is proxy with Bing Voice.
- Seek to reveal information regarding your character, objectives, and tastes without providing any particulars that will enable anyone to determine you.
- Disable any features that are location-aware all dating apps, particularly if the web sites show your local area for other people to see.
- Don't be afraid to express "no" if some body asks you for private information that you're not sharing that is yet comfortable.
- Avoid delivering photos that are digital that might include metadata on where as soon as these were taken. If you have to deliver a photograph, make sure to eliminate any geotag information first.
- Wait a time that is long "friending" your brand-new suitor on Facebook. Usage of your Facebook system provides a person with detailed shops of private information that cybercriminals can misappropriate for online reputation attacks, identification theft, or any other violations of the electronic privacy. As this article that is MSNBC, you ought to hold back until you've been dating for some months, and then friend the individual making use of sensible privacy settings.
Along with after the past tips regarding online privacy, it is a good notion to look around and choose a solution that both satisfies your needs and features strong privacy settings. Most of the big internet dating services, including OkCupid, eHarmony, and Match.com, function comparable privacy statements that describe the way they collect your own personal information for the sake of matching you with some body.
Third-party snacks might also monitor your interactions, plus it's a good notion to decide away from a majority of these monitoring features as you're able in your site's privacy settings. But, the main online dating services additionally provide the following tools to boost your on line privacy while enhancing your likelihood of locating the match that is right
- eHarmony—If you can't fathom the notion of fulfilling a suitor that is potential first talking compared to that individual regarding the phone, you might like to think about eHarmony. The organization provides an element referred to as Secure Call that lets individuals phone each other properly, without giving out their telephone numbers.
- OkCupid—If you need to have strong control of who may have use of your profile, start thinking about OkCupid. In very early 2011, the solution began rolling away a set of very specific filters, designed to deal with typical privacy problems. For instance, homosexual individuals can block straight folks from finding their pages, and women can block older males.
- Match.com—Match.com supplies A mode" that is"private that your profile concealed from anybody you have actuallyn't communicated with. This allows you to pick each individual who is able to see you. Nevertheless, individuals you have got messaged don't notice any such thing different when viewing your profile. There's nothing to point that you're invisible to many other users.
Can I simply take my intimate quest offline?
Increasingly dissatisfied by the privacy dangers and problems of internet dating, some social individuals are looking at the dating practices of these moms and dads or grand-parents. Guidance columnists frequently entreat lonely singles for the globe to have tangled up in some task or a reason that interests them, such as for instance going for a cooking class, volunteering for the charity, joining a novel club, or going to unique occasions.
A unique strain of minimalistic online solutions has cropped up to meet up this need, offering absolutely absolutely nothing significantly more than an RSVP solution for folks of love interests to set up team meetings in public areas. It will also help you avoid the headache of having your digital privacy compromised while it's true that this method will reduce your chances of being algorithmically and instantly paired with Mr. or Ms. Right. And because you'll be meeting people who have comparable interests, whether or perhaps not you see love, you'll probably make some friends that are new.
Aside from which approach you select, understand that internet dating is an extremely niche that is specific social media, along with its very very very own guidelines and etiquette. For as long as you are taking into consideration the aforementioned online dating sites privacy guidelines, you need to be in a position to properly make that essential experience of special someone.

I find this subject really interesting. I have always asked myself a question similar to yours. Like do some criminals learn from the mistakes that the criminals on the TV shows like CSI and Criminal Minds make? Whatever got them caught can be a lesson to real life criminals and it can teach them how to not get caught. I have this term paper to write and I'm actually focusing on major factors that can influence someone to engage in criminal activity. However, I'm going to be focusing more on if education has a strong association with criminal activity. I believe that it links to your article because I can see that the media/TV shows are also major factors. Just like those TV shows, I believe that one's education can also be influential in their involvement in criminal activity. Here's the link to my outline of my paper: http://newsactivist.com/en/news-summary/flacks-newsactivist-winter-2015-....
The Representation of Forensic Science on TV: Does It Help Catch a Killer, or Make You one?
by PerryVoyages on April 1, 2015 - 11:55am
In today's television programs, many crime based TV shows are at the peak of what is being watched during night time television. This includes shows such as Castle, Criminal Minds, and the well-known CSI: Crime Scene Investigation to name a few. While these shows are entertaining for their viewers, there is a certain level of forensic evidence that is being presented in each program. In the shows mentioned previously, they most of the time, if not always, present a crime scene where the discovery of key pieces of evidence leads to the interrogation of a suspect.
As an individual who more often than not finds himself in front of the television watching crime based shows, I ask myself many questions that pertain to its content. Do situations like the ones presented on TV actually happen in real life? Do crime scene investigators find evidence as quickly as they do on TV? How are they able to figure out who is responsible for the crime committed if more often than not, these characters are basing their answer on personal theories? The question I ask most frequently is whether or not there are criminals who learn skills and techniques from watching these TV shows. Therefore, the issue I will be discussing is whether the representation of forensic science presented in the media is ethical and what effect it has on both jurors and members of society who watch criminal based television.
Many crime based television shows nowadays almost always show evidence being attained that helps find the primary suspect. However, the physical evidence left behind, is either mentioned aloud between investigators, similar to how it is done in Castle, or portrayed in flashbacks found mostly in CSI but occasionally in Criminal Minds. These flashbacks tend to recreate the committed crime and allow viewers to see the error of the perpetrator's ways. Likewise, it allows for any juror who watches these types of shows to have a better understanding of what evidence must be presented in court and whether the evidence is relevant to the accusation. However, it also allows for any criminal who is watching these TV shows to learn techniques on how they may better get away with any crime they plan on committing. An article on The Economist has noted that many of the "techniques used in crime shows are, after all, at least grounded in truth. Bleach, which destroys DNA, is now more likely to be used by murderers to cover their tracks. The wearing of gloves is more common, as is the taping shut—rather than the DNA-laden licking—of envelopes" (The "CSI effect"). This raises the issue of whether or not it is ethical to show forensic science in the media. On one hand, it may have a positive outcome believes Honourable Donald E. Shelton in his article "The 'CSI effect': Does It Really Exist?" where he claims – in a survey on the expectation of evidence presented in court – that "CSI viewers had higher expectations about scientific evidence that was more likely to be relevant to a particular crime than did the non-CSI viewers" (4). On the other hand, while it is fascinating for viewers, especially those interested in criminology to get a behind the scenes view of what goes on, it distorts reality. Furthermore, as The Economist states, it enables criminals with the knowledge of techniques on how to avoid getting caught. Additionally, it often leads to members of the jury to have higher expectations of the evidence presented in court. Honourable Shelton claims he once heard a district attorney comment on the 'CSI effect" saying that "Jurors now expect us to have a DNA test for just about every case. They expect us to have the most advanced technology possible, and they expect it to look like it does on television" (2).
In order to discuss whether the representation of forensic science represented in the media is ethical, it is important to understand both consequences that arise from doing so. I have mentioned both the positive and negative outcomes that transpire with the representation of forensic evidence in the media. To summarize, the positive outcome is that jurors are better informed during court and may exonerate a defendant if they are found not guilty as a result of the evidence asked by the jury. However the negative outcome is that jurors have an unrealistic expectation of the justice system and more often than not demand for DNA testing for just about every case (Honourable Shelton, 2). Furthermore, it allows any criminals who watch these shows to learn techniques on how to get rid of evidence. So I leave this debate up to you to decide. With the information I have provided you in the post above, do you believe that it is morally ethical to represent forensic science in the media?

DCI and Encryption
pratheeshp posted a topic in DATA CENTERHi, Can you please help me to understand the encryption features supported by the Major DCI technologies with Layer 2 Expansion: I am working on a 3 site DC design, that will be connected through a provider MPLS (L3) or P2P (EPL) and DCI encryption is one of the requirement. I have explored EoMPLS which can support MACsec vs EoMPLS with GRE which can support IPSec. However this will require Pseudo-wire (PW) state and complex configuration steps. I am trying to get some input on OTV options with traffic encryption. I believe MACsec is not an option here as there will multiple hop between the DCs. However adding IPSec on the will add additional overhead (42 bytes for OTV + IPSec over head). If i want to use IPsec encryption then I should consider Unicast OTV, because Multicast OTV will again complicate the encryption requirement with IPSec. Please share your thoughts on this topic. Appreciate your time. Pratheesh

Police on Tuesday captured a shipment of nearly 750 kilos (1650 pounds) of cocaine found in a truck in the industrial area near the town of Kiryat Malakhi in southern Israel.
Officers said the shipment is worth an estimated NIS 250 million. A gag order has been placed regarding any further details in the investigation.
The contraband was stored away in a number of bags and tied to containers inside the truck. According to police, the massive stash was found by accident, with no prior intel.
Lachish District police have opened an investigation in an attempt to find the persons behind the shipment.

§ 35. Mr. Gourlay
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what proposals the South East of Scotland Regional Hospital Board has made for the immediate provision of urgently required geriatric beds in the East Fife Hospital Board area.
§ Mr. Maclay
The South-Eastern Regional Hospital Board has submitted proposals for the building of a geriatric unit at the Randolph Wemyss Hospital, Buckhaven, and I hope to give the Board a decision on this matter very soon.
§ Mr. Gourlay
Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that only 4.3 beds per 1,000 of the population over 65 years of age are available to the County of Fife at the present time as opposed to 11.2 per cent. in England and Wales, that almost 30 per cent. of the old people admitted to hospital die within a year of admission because they are so late in being admitted, and that a number of old people are left to die in their own homes in the most miserable and distressing conditions? Will he ensure that the hospital at Buckhaven is built as soon as possible?
§ Mr. Maclay
The hon. Gentleman has given a number of statistics which I am sure are correct. I am aware of Fife's needs, and, as the hon. Gentleman knows, we are trying to improve the situation as fast as we can.

A new pixel detector for the CMS experiment was built in order to cope with the instantaneous luminosities anticipated for the Phase~I Upgrade of the LHC. The new CMS pixel detector provides four-hit tracking with a reduced material budget as well as new cooling and powering schemes. A new front-end readout chip mitigates buffering and bandwidth limitations, and allows operation at low comparator thresholds. In this paper, comprehensive test beam studies are presented, which have been conducted to verify the design and to quantify the performance of the new detector assemblies in terms of tracking efficiency and spatial resolution. Under optimal conditions, the tracking efficiency is $99.95\pm0.05\,\%$, while the intrinsic spatial resolutions are $4.80\pm0.25\,\mu \mathrm{m}$ and $7.99\pm0.21\,\mu \mathrm{m}$ along the $100\,\mu \mathrm{m}$ and $150\,\mu \mathrm{m}$ pixel pitch, respectively. The findings are compared to a detailed Monte Carlo simulation of the pixel detector and good agreement is found.
The degradation of signal in silicon sensors is studied under conditions expected at the CERN High-Luminosity LHC. 200 $\mu$m thick n-type silicon sensors are irradiated with protons of different energies to fluences of up to $3 \cdot 10^{15}$ neq/cm$^2$. Pulsed red laser light with a wavelength of 672 nm is used to generate electron-hole pairs in the sensors. The induced signals are used to determine the charge collection efficiencies separately for electrons and holes drifting through the sensor. The effective trapping rates are extracted by comparing the results to simulation. The electric field is simulated using Synopsys device simulation assuming two effective defects. The generation and drift of charge carriers are simulated in an independent simulation based on PixelAV. The effective trapping rates are determined from the measured charge collection efficiencies and the simulated and measured time-resolved current pulses are compared. The effective trapping rates determined for both electrons and holes are about 50% smaller than those obtained using standard extrapolations of studies at low fluences and suggests an improved tracker performance over initial expectations.
The theory of general relativity describes macroscopic phenomena driven by the influence of gravity while quantum mechanics brilliantly accounts for microscopic effects. Despite their tremendous individual success, a complete unification of fundamental interactions is missing and remains one of the most challenging and important quests in modern theoretical physics. The STE-QUEST satellite mission, proposed as a medium-size mission within the Cosmic Vision program of the European Space Agency (ESA), aims for testing general relativity with high precision in two experiments by performing a measurement of the gravitational redshift of the Sun and the Moon by comparing terrestrial clocks, and by performing a test of the Universality of Free Fall of matter waves in the gravitational field of Earth comparing the trajectory of two Bose-Einstein condensates of Rb85 and Rb87. The two ultracold atom clouds are monitored very precisely thanks to techniques of atom interferometry. This allows to reach down to an uncertainty in the E\"otv\"os parameter of at least 2x10E-15. In this paper, we report about the results of the phase A mission study of the atom interferometer instrument covering the description of the main payload elements, the atomic source concept, and the systematic error sources.
We present near infra-red light curves of supernova (SN) 2011fe in M101, including 34 epochs in H band starting fourteen days before maximum brightness in the B-band. The light curve data were obtained with the WIYN High-Resolution Infrared Camera (WHIRC). When the data are calibrated using templates of other Type Ia SNe, we derive an apparent H-band magnitude at the epoch of B-band maximum of 10.85 \pm 0.04. This implies a distance modulus for M101 that ranges from 28.86 to 29.17 mag, depending on which absolute calibration for Type Ia SNe is used.
The Egg Nebula has been regarded as the archetype of bipolar proto-planetary nebulae, yet we lack a coherent model that can explain the morphology and kinematics of the nebular and dusty components observed at high-spatial and spectral resolution. Here, we report on two sets of observations obtained with the Keck Adaptive Optics Laser Guide Star: H to M-band NIRC2 imaging, and narrow bandpath K-band OSIRIS 3-D imaging-spectroscopy (through the H2 2.121micron emission line). While the central star or engine remains un-detected at all bands, we clearly resolve the dusty components in the central region and confirm that peak A is not a companion star. The spatially-resolved spectral analysis provide kinematic information of the H_2 emission regions in the eastern and central parts of the nebula and show projected velocities for the H_2 emission higher than 100 km/s. We discuss these observations against a possible formation scenario for the nebular components.
We present a new Fortran Monte Carlo generator to simulate black hole events at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. The generator interfaces to the PYTHIA Monte Carlo fragmentation code. The physics of the BH generator includes, but not limited to, inelasticity effects, exact field emissivities, corrections to semiclassical black hole evaporation and gravitational energy loss at formation. These features are essential to realistically reconstruct the detector response and test different models of black hole formation and decay at the LHC.
Practical ionization cooling rings could lead to lower cost or improved performance in neutrino factory or muon collider designs. The ring modeled here uses realistic three-dimensional fields. The performance of the ring compares favorably with the linear cooling channel used in the second US Neutrino Factory Study. The normalized 6D emittance of an ideal ring is decreased by a factor of approximately 240, compared with a factor of only 15 for the linear channel. We also examine such \textit{real-world} effects as windows on the absorbers and rf cavities and leaving empty lattice cells for injection and extraction. For realistic conditions the ring decreases the normalized 6D emittance by a factor of 49.
A stored-muon-beam neutrino factory may require transverse ionization cooling of the muon beam. We describe recent progress in research and development on energy absorbers for muon-beam cooling carried out by a collaboration of university and laboratory groups.
Multijet events at large transverse energy (sum E_T > 420 GeV) and large multijet invariant mass (M_jets > 600 GeV) have been studied by the CDF Collaboration at the Fermilab Tevatron. The observed jet multiplicity distribution can be understood in a QCD inspired exponentiation model, in regions of phase space which require going beyond fixed order perturbation theory.
Muon Colliders have unique technical and physics advantages and disadvantages when compared with both hadron and electron machines. They should thus be regarded as complementary. Parameters are given of 4 TeV and 0.5 TeV high luminosity \mu^+ \mu^- colliders, and of a 0.5 TeV lower luminosity demonstration machine. We discuss the various systems in such muon colliders, starting from the proton accelerator needed to generate the muons and proceeding through muon cooling, acceleration and storage in a collider ring. Detector background, polarization, and nonstandard operating conditions are discussed.

This 2016, Virtual Reality became one of the trends and different company released different kinds of VR like Google. Now, the latter made a partnership with Improbable to make the virtual world more exciting for many users.
Improbable is a British company in which two Cambridge graduates founded it. The company offers different and more exciting way on how to build the virtual world; it also improves majority of the games in engaging to the world of virtual reality. This starts with the idea that virtual world can make a big impact in working the computers for expansion and for complexity to make a step on the next level, shared by Wired.
SpatialOS is the newest creation of Google and Improbable, this was designed by different expert coders of both companies for the improvement of VR technology. SpatialOS is like cloud service for computing and building the virtual world, either from VR rigs, laptops, or computers. Google and Improbable also develops the "SpatialOS program alpha" for the coders to have a chance in testing and creating their own kind of virtual world. The beta on the other hand may probably be released during the first quarter of 2017, this is not the same program as alpha because coders will have free time in manipulating Google Cloud to test the virtual world before running and releasing it on the internet.
In addition this report, the partnership of Google and Improbable will let the Google Cloud services to compete with its rivals like Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web. The partnership of the two companies also allow more development on markets. However, in the future, Improbable and Google may face the challenges of AI (Artificial Intelligence).
Improving the virtual world needs complex step, and it is said that the researchers of AI has a lot of ways in making the future generation in developing intelligence artificially. But, it is said that SpatialOS will also continue to expand as time goes by even after the next generation of AI. In the future, this improvement will navigate those cities in the real world and can possibly detect the path in which contagious disease came from.
Since the beginning of the year, Google company really develops its virtual reality after it announces Google Cardboard by emphasizing spatial audio, as reported by Jobs & Hire.

Leksula is about 3 to 4 kilometers from the Nalbesi River. In the rainy season, residents are forced to travel on foot, as did Nori with her baby that day.With the bad weather and swift water, Nori ventured to cross the river while carrying her child with a sarong to return to her home in Neath.Three men volunteered to help Nori and other residents cross the river. They stretched strands of nylon rope across the river and tied them to tree trunks on both sides of the river.They wrapped other strands of nylon rope around the stretch, knotted them and tied them to a wooden branch that served as a seat. Residents would sit on the wooden branch to swing across the river. "This is our daily job. Sometimes we arrive home late at night after helping residents cross the river," said one of the volunteers, Fendy Nurlatu.Every day, Fendy and the other volunteers witness how residents fight their fear and anxiety, while also remaining vigilant to cross the river safely."I saw that [Nori] was worried. She was afraid because she was carrying her baby. But what else could she do? She had to cross the river," Fendy said.Read also: Students in Maluku help each other cross dangerous river to get to schoolTo cross the river, Nori sat on the wooden branch with one hand holding her child and one hand holding the hanging rope. The rope was pulled from the other side of the river slowly until she reached the riverbank.Nori told Fendy how nervous she was crossing the river with a child in hand, especially when they paused in the middle of the river."I prayed and prayed — Oh God, when will I get across the river?" said Fendy, conveying what Nori said to her.After crossing the river, Nori continued his journey to her village, which is about 4 km away from the Nalbesi River, Fendy said.Besides Nori, several women also crossed the river in the same way that day.A college student from Liang, Melky Solisa, said local residents had crossed the river for decades whenever they wanted to shop for basic necessities or sell their plantation products at the market in the district center.Melky, who is studying at the University of Pattimura in Ambon, Maluku, recalled an incident that happened to a resident crossing the river last year."A resident was rushed to a hospital last year because he fell and was carried away by the river flow. The victim was injured but alive," said Melky.The villagers, including Fendy and Melky, regretted that there was no actual plan from the central or regional governments to build a bridge over the river.Fendi said a district head and members of the local legislature had promised to build an emergency bridge during their pre-election campaigns but had never realized the program."Five years ago, the current regent, Tagop Solisa, promised an emergency bridge. But the condition is still like this," said Fendi."Mr. President, please look at our suffering and lack of freedom, Sir. Even though Indonesia will be 75 years old soon, we are not independent yet," Melky added. (syk)Topics : The flow of the Nalbesi River was getting stronger as the rain flushed Buru Selatan regency in Maluku on a Thursday morning, but villagers still flocked to the river bank.The river is the only access for residents in the two villages, namely Neath and Liang, to reach the district center, Leksula, while risking their lives and those of their loved ones.Among the residents crossing the river that morning was Nori Hukunala, who had just bought monthly supplies in Leksula with her 8-month-old baby.

Spring is traditionally the peak selling season for property. Picture: Adam Smith.But property guru Andrew Winter, host of Selling Houses Australia and Love It Or List It Australia, told The Courier-Mail vendors should not feel compelled to list their home just because of the season."Please don't just put your house on the market because its spring," Mr Winter said."Put it on because it suits you and the marketplace you're selling in, otherwise (the market) will be flooded and oversupplied, and none of you will get the best price."I'd rather wait a few months and then list." Ross Duff and Linda D'Astole at their Chelmer home which they have listed to make the most of the spring selling season. Picture: AAP Image/Josh Woning.BRISBANE is warming up for the best spring selling season in the country, with home values, listings and auction clearance rates holding firm as the southern states continue to cool.While the Sydney and Melbourne markets have hit the brakes, the Queensland capital is gearing up, with a host of new homes hitting the market in the coming weeks after a slow winter and buyers set to emerge from hibernation to bag a bargain.As the competition heats up, new research from realestate.com.au has revealed the suburbs where buyers and sellers are most likely to benefit. GET THE LATEST REAL ESTATE NEWS DIRECT TO YOUR INBOX HERE Demand for houses in Brisbane's east has jumped 17 per cent in the past year, while interest in houses in the city's south has fallen by nearly 7 per cent in that time.In Ipswich, views per house listing increased more than 6 per cent, while demand for houses in Logan dropped 13 per cent.The western suburb of Chapel Hill is the most in-demand among house hunters, with views per listing up a whopping 42 per cent from a year ago.The biggest decline in demand for houses was in Buccan, in Logan — down nearly 34 per cent. THE COST OF LIVING IN AUSTRALIA'S RUDEST STREETS R EA Group chief economist Nerida Conisbee said it's a good time to list a home in suburbs like Holland Park, which has had nearly 6000 people looking on at homes for sale on realestate.com.au in the past six months. "The fact things have gotten so hot there makes it very much a seller's market," Ms Conisbee said. The data shows it's a good time for buyers in areas where demand has dropped because there is less competition. "Somewhere like Chandler in the east is an area that has been seeing very, very high demand, but the fact is there are now fewer people looking in Chandler for whatever reason and, as a result, it's probably going to be a bit easier to get into the market than this time last year," Ms Conisbee said. This property at 7 Drury St, Windsor, has sold after just one inspection.CoreLogic senior research analyst Cameron Kusher said the Brisbane market had an advantage over other capital cities because home values were still rising."You're going to see the amount of stock coming to market increase and you might see some more buyers come out of the woodwork," Mr Kusher said."I don't think it's going to be overly strong, but better than what you're going to see in other southern markets."

HealthLifestylePolitics Cuba hikes salaries for doctors, nurses by: – March 22, 2014 Share 80 Views no discussions Share Tweet Share Sharing is caring! HAVANA (AP) — Cuba is giving its hundreds of thousands of medical workers raises that in some cases exceed 100 percent, official media on the island announced Friday, though pay remains much lower than what medical professionals earn elsewhere.The Communist Party daily newspaper Granma also reported that Cuba expects to take in $8.2 billion this year for the tens of thousands of medical worker it sends to care for the poor in countries such as Venezuela and Brazil.Granma published a sample of what the pay hikes, which take effect June 1, will look like. At the high end, doctors with two specialties will see their salary go from the equivalent of $26 a month to $67, while an entry-level nurse will make $25, up from $13.Salaries at government jobs in Cuba average about $20 a month, augmented by a range of free services and subsidies.The raise will affect more than 440,000 medical sector employees, Granma said, and was made possible by the elimination of 109,000 redundant jobs in the last four years."This is very good news that makes me tremendously happy. … With my first paycheck I'm going to buy a toy for my youngest grandson, who's 3," said Soraida Pina, a 62-year-old nurse. "This will open new doors for me."Others were less wowed."They had talked to us about this, and it's very important for the family economy, but it continues to be a salary that means very little because everything is very expensive," said Laura Vazquez, a 38-year-old pathologist.Cuba also is raising the salaries of medical workers on international missions, which already pay higher salaries and in hard currency.Doctors and nurses working in Cuban ally Venezuela, for example, will see their salaries double.The changes "will contribute to the stability and quality of the medical services for the people, as well as fulfill international commitments," Granma said.The paper added that the forecast revenue from overseas medical missions for 2014 represents 64 percent of income from the services sector.Health Minister Roberto Morales said recently that more than 50,000 Cuban health care professionals are working in some 66 nations.That includes an estimated 30,000 in Venezuela, which sends Cuba some 92,000 barrels of oil a day, with a total value of about $3.2 billion a year.Cuba has not made public how much it pays doctors on foreign missions, though it is believed to be a small fraction of what it collects from the nations where they serve.Some doctors defect while abroad, though there are no official statistics on how many.Associated Press
MANILA – Fighting misinformation riskseating into the national government's resources that would otherwise be spenton dealing with the new coronavirus that the world is trying to contain, saidManila's former health minister who led the response to the Severe AcuteRespiratory Syndrome (SARS) nearly two decades ago. Compared to SARS, the Philippines is "betterprepared" to respond to the novel coronavirus from Wuhan, China as negativepressure or isolation chambers and quarantine procedures are in place, saidformer health secretary Manuel Dayrit. Unlike during the SARS outbreak of 2002to 2003, information on the new coronavirus is readily available, said Dayrit.In the absence of social media at that time, he hosted press briefingsregularly for 2 months to keep the public updated. "Magtulong-tulungan tayo, hindiiyong panggalingan at magdulot tayong pangamba at takot… Ano bangmaidudulot ng pagpapakalat ng fake news?" he told DZMM Wednesday. (ABS-CBN News) China said Wednesday deaths due to thenovel coronavirus had risen to 132 with nearly 6,000 people infected.Governments and companies around the world have warned against travel to Chinaand readied their citizens there for possible repatriation. "The downside is that false news andmaliciously-manufactured information can really confuse and scare people,"he told ABS-CBN News in an email interview. The Philippines has yet to confirm anycase of the pathogen that comes from the same family of viruses as SARS,authorities said Monday. However, at least 6 schools in Manila suspendedclasses on Monday over false online information that the capital had acoronavirus case. "Fear of the unknown" propagates fakenews on the disease, said Health Secretary Francisco Duque, who urged thepublic to monitor his agency's daily advisories. "Disinformation may cause publicconfusion, and cause wasteful deployment of resources in efforts to verify andto take corrective action," said Dayrit, also a former dean of the AteneoSchool of Medicine who served at the World Health Organization in Geneva afterhis stint at the Department of Health.
Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has criticised England's "crazy" Christmas schedule, claiming the traditional fixture pile-up only favours the biggest clubs. Southampton have reaped the benefits of Koeman's consistent selection policy this season. The Saints have started less players (15) in the league so far than top four rivals Arsenal (18), Tottenham (21), Liverpool (21) and Manchester United (22). Koeman believes the fixture congestion at Christmas plays into the hands of those teams with bigger squads at their disposal. "Does it favour the big clubs? Yes. They can change players much easier than other teams in the Premier League," Koeman said. "It is worst for the clubs who haven't got 24 players at the same level. "You have to change your team and I don't like to change my team. I believe if the team is doing well you can change one or two positions but I don't believe in changing my team in six or seven positions." If Southampton want to keep pace with the sides at the top of the table, they may need to bolster their options in the January transfer window. "Our transfer policy in January doesn't depend on winning and losing over the next month," Koeman said. "It depends on the players we have – for example we know that Sadio Mane has to play at the African Nations Cup, Maya Yoshida will play in the Asian Cup but we don't need a lot of players. "I am happy with the players we have. It depends on injuries if you need someone but it's too early to make conclusions about that." The Saints, who are second in the Barclays Premier League, face Aston Villa on Monday ahead of a testing month that brings games against Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United, Everton and Chelsea. Koeman's side also have to play four games in nine days over Christmas including league fixtures on Boxing Day and New Year's Day before the FA Cup third round on the first weekend in January. Press Association "It's difficult because I don't have experience playing that number of games in such a short time," Koeman said. "I always used to be on holiday during Christmas and now we have a lot of games to prepare for. "I told the players, 'honestly, I don't have that experience', it's difficult. "We have to play December 26 and then again on the 28th, January 1 and then January 3 for the FA Cup – it's crazy. "It's not crazy to play at Christmas because I understand – we had that in Holland and the people like that. "I'd like that as well if I like football and support Southampton – I can have my Christmas meal then go to the stadium and watch Southampton, I am happy. "The problem is you have one day off between two games and that's crazy, that's impossible. "That's my problem with the schedule because if it's the 26th and the 29th, no problem, but it's Friday and Sunday. That's crazy, one day off, crazy."
Pellegrini said: "I think the performance was very good in midweek and we must try to repeat it tomorrow. I never complain about the amount of players that are injured but we have too many players (out), so to continue playing this way is very important for the trust the squad have. "All the games are difficult in the Premier League. It doesn't matter which position the teams are in. You know you have to play with 100 per cent intensity and a lot concentration. Two or three balls decide the result." Zabaleta has suffered a medial ligament strain similar to the one which sidelined him for a month earlier in the season but Pellegrini is hopeful his latest problem is not as serious. He said: "It is not so bad as the first one he had. We have now the international break (coming up) and probably he will be fit to return after the international break." The performances of Iheanacho on the field and in training have also not gone unnoticed by his team-mates. Midfielder Yaya Toure, one of the cornerstones of the club's success in recent seasons, has been impressed by his talent and his willingness to learn. Toure said: "I always say when you put a good player in a great team with good players around him then they will always perform well. "When I started at Barcelona it was always easy to play with great players and learn as well. They help you to progress. "I think for me, Iheanacho has the potential to progress and be one of the top players one day. He's young and still learning. I am delighted for him and I always give him advice because Kelechi is fantastic. He is clever, he listens very carefully and he works hard in training." He had previously shown glimpses of his talent by coming off the bench to score against Palace in the Barclays Premier League in September while he also had a goal against Bournemouth harshly disallowed. Pellegrini, speaking at a press conference to preview this weekend's home clash against Norwich, said: "He didn't impress me because I work with him every day, so I know what he can give to our team. Last season I think he was ready to do it. "We talked about his work permits but unfortunately for him he had a very serious injury in his ankles. That is why he couldn't play last season. Now he is ready and I am very happy for him to demonstrate what he can do. But it is just one game, he must repeat, he must improve." Iheanacho shone on City's pre-season tour in the summer of 2014 but faced a long wait for paperwork to be ratified before he could play competitively. When clearance was given towards the latter end of last season, he impressed briefly for City's elite development squad before being hit by injury. He was promoted to the first-team squad over the summer and, with senior attacking options limited in the absence of top striker Sergio Aguero, was given his chance in midweek. Pellegrini must now decide whether to retain the youngster in his side to face the Canaries. He said: "In the way he demonstrates what he can do, of course he has an option to start. It is not an easy position to start in this team because we have a lot of important players like David (Silva), like Kun (Aguero), but in this moment they are not fit, and for me it just depends on the performance of the players who start." Premier League leaders City will hope to maintain the momentum from midweek although Aguero, Silva, Samir Nasri, Fabian Delph and Gael Clichy remain out and Pablo Zabaleta joined the injury casualties this week. But the Manchester City boss was unable to call on the highly-rated Nigerian striker because of a combination of work permit and injury issues. Iheanacho, 19, made a big impression on his first City start with a goal and two assists in Wednesday's 5-1 Capital One Cup thrashing of Crystal Palace. Manuel Pellegrini claims he was ready to unleash teenager Kelechi Iheanacho on unsuspecting defences a year ago. Press Association
By Clifton RossIT WILL be a tussle at Tarouba part two for Barbados Tridents, who will look to go two up when they battle the St Lucia Zouks in today's first of two headliners in the Hero CPL.The defending champs pulled off a daring heist against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots after posting 153-9 batting first. It was a dismal first outing in the bubble for the champs, compliments of some skilful bowling by the veteran seamers.Pakistani Sohail Tanvir (2-22) along with the Windies pair of Sheldon Cottrell (2-12) and skipper Rayad Emrit (2-16) strangled the Tridents batsmen. Tridents captain Jason Holder launched a counterpunch along with Kyle Mayers. Holder smashed 38 off 22 balls with 2 fours and 3 massive sixes.Mayers, who continued from the Regional 4-Day Tournament where he ended as the second leading run-scorer, also smacked a pair of fours along with three thumping blows which sailed over the ropes; ending with 37 off 20.Man-of the-Match, New Zealand all-rounder and Tridents overseas import, Mitchell Santner hit 20 off 18 with two fours and bagged 2-18 to set up a good win for his team later.St Kitts' batting was the total opposite to that of the Tridents, with their top 4 batsmen all reaching double figures. Opener Chris Lynn, the Aussie T20 specialist, blasted 3 fours in his 19 while his partner Evin Lewis made 12.Another Australian and T20 gun-for-hire, Ben Dunk thumped a few deliveries around as he too scored with 34 off 21 balls – three fours and 1 maximum.Joshua DaSilva, who made his name really known recently after stroking a ton on tour against England in the warm-ups, prior to the Test series; switched to T20 mode against Tridents.The West Indies Emerging Player (WIEP) hit a run-a-ball 41 with 3 fours and remained not out, almost taking his team over the line. Afghanistan star spinner Rashid Khan bagged 2-20, lending ideal support to Santner as the champs wrapped up their first test by 6 runs.Today's match against Zouks will be another opportunity for Tridents talented top-order – Johnson Charles, Shai Hope, New Zealander Corey Anderson, Johnathan Carter and Raymon Reifer – to all make amends for failing in the first attempt.Their frontline spinners, West Indies' Hayden Walsh Jr. and Ashley Nurse went wicket-less in the first game but could have a better assessment of the conditions ahead of today's match.Action between Tridents and Zouks bowls off at 10:00hrs; followed by the highly-anticipated battle between former respective champions Trinbago Knight Riders and Jamaica Tallawahs, which gets underway from 17:30hrs.
Senior outside hitter Niki Withers has racked up 266 kills for USC this year as the team wraps up the regular season this week. Photo by Kaan Demiroz | Daily TrojanThis week, the No. 13 women's volleyball team will travel up to Eugene, Ore., to face No. 24 Oregon on Wednesday before battling No. 19 UCLA at the Galen Center on Saturday in the team's final home match of the regular season. The Women of Troy (21-8, 13-5 Pac-12) started out the season unranked and were tabbed to finish sixth in the conference by Pac-12 coaches. At 13-5, they're sitting in second place in the conference. If they can pick up wins against the Ducks (16-10, 9-9 Pac-12) and the Bruins (17-10, 10-8 Pac-12), second place is as good as theirs with Washington and Utah tied for third at 12-6.Oregon is 11-4 at home this season, and USC is 8-5 on the road. Going into Wednesday's match, the Ducks carry a three-match losing streak, and while the Women of Troy did have a five-match win streak, it came to an end against No. 4 Stanford last weekend. The team rebounded by sweeping Cal two days later. To pick up a win in Eugene, USC must stop senior outside hitter Taylor Agost. Against both Washington schools, Agost put up a team-high 36 kills while recording a .289 hitting percentage. Her 25 kills against the Cougars was a season high. She is the team's go-to hitter, with 288 kills on the season. Right behind Agost is sophomore middle blocker Ronika Stone, who had a season-high 18 kills against the Cougars and 25 kills on the weekend. After playing the Ducks, the Women of Troy will head back to Los Angeles and the friendly confines of the Galen Center. USC has lost its final regular season match to the Bruins in the last three seasons.But earlier this season, the Women of Troy opened up conference play with a riveting five-set victory over the Bruins at Pauley Pavilion. After falling behind 2-1, then-No. 21 USC won the final two sets to top No. 11 UCLA(25-21, 15-25, 18-25, 25-21, 15-11). It was the fourth time in the last six matches between the rivals to go five sets. Senior opposite hitter Brittany Abercrombie led all hitters with a then-career-high 18 kills. She topped that for a career-high 19 kills against Washington in October. Sophomore outside hitter Khalia Lanier was right behind her with 17 kills. UCLA dominated defensively at the net, putting up 11 blocks to USC's four, but despite the strong defense, the Women of Troy produced a .251 hitting percentage.UCLA will be coming off a Wednesday match against Oregon State. Last weekend, the Bruins split two matches in Northern California, losing to Stanford in five sets but sweeping Cal. USC is 10-1 at home this season, while UCLA is 7-6 on the road. To snatch a win over their crosstown rival, the Women of Troy will have to limit the Bruins' strong offense led by senior outside hitter Reily Buechler, freshman outside hitter Jenny Mosser, sophomore middle blocker Madeleine Gates and freshman outside hitter Mac May. All four attackers have more than 240 kills on the season. Buechler, with 342 kills, is the only player with more than 300 kills. Mosser is close, sitting at 294 kills on the season. USC has three hitters — Lanier, Abercrombie, senior outside hitter Niki Withers — with more than 265 kills on the season. Lanier leads the Women of Troy with 378, followed by Abercrombie's 354 kills. Wins against the Ducks and Bruins should set up the Women of Troy in strong position for the NCAA Tournament. The selection show will take place Nov. 26. The road to Kansas City for the national championship starts Nov. 30 with first-round matches. First serve against the Bruins will be at 7 p.m. at the Galen Center Saturday.
The Progressive Peoples Party's(PPP)presidential candidate Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom is set to spark a major debate after his comments that Ghana does not need a Youth and Sports Ministry, adding that he would scrap the Ministry should he become President of Ghana.Dr. Nduom says he is not downplaying the sector's importance but is looking forward to using a totally different approach to sports development. "I don't think it's necessary. I believe that you should have only sports associations to run sports. If you want an athletics association it should be there and if you want a governing body there should be one but it should be voluntary," he told Joy Sports.Nduom thinks that the government should provide the facilities, sponsorship and incentives that will allow other people to put money into sports. "If as I am sponsoring a football team and as I am interested in building a sports facility and there are tax incentives, I will speed up my activities so that the people in my area will have a good sports facility to use and to benefit from," he added.The Youth and Sports Ministry has been in existence for decades and has the mandate of overseeing the development and promotion of sports. The ministry has occasionally undergone major redefinitions of its functions since Ghana's independence in 1957.One restructuring took place in 1978 when the ministry, then headed by the Commissioner for Sports, became strictly responsible for sports development and administration.There have also been times when the Ministry has merged with others. Under ex-President Kufuor's administration, for example, the Youth and Sports Ministry merged with Education and Science. The Ministry has also been considered one of the least stable seats for political appointees, headed by four different Ministers in the last four years.Alhaji Mubarak Muntaka was replaced by Alhaji Pelpuo in 2009. A year later, Akua Sena Dansua was appointed, holding the post until last year, when she was succeeded by the current Minister, Clement Kofi Humado.
