Eco Club Students Visit Pakistan
The Nepali youth participated in 12th National Children's Mountain Conservation Meet 2013 jointly organized by the Adventure Foundation Pakistan and WWF Pakistan. Altogether there were 125 children, aged 11 to 14 years. The major objective of the meet was to create awareness among young people about the uniqueness of the mountain ecosystem by involving them in meaningful practical activities.
The meet was inaugurated with a formal ceremony organized in Abbottabad on 24 June and concluded with a formal ceremony organized in Islamabad on 3 July. The participants learned the importance of biodiversity conservation, waste recycle techniques, and the use of flora and fauna in our ecosystem.
The participants also engaged themselves in various adventure projects such as hiking, route finding, and emergency rescue. Moreover, Nepali youth participated in the cross cultural evening and demonstrated their talent of singing and dancing. The children who attended the meet were given the title of 'Eco Guard' which gave them confidence to play an active role in their day to day life to create awareness about the conservation of the environment and its role in our lives.
Furthermore, the participants visited WWF Pakistan's office and interacted with the staff from Islamabad, Lahore and Nathiagali. WWF Pakistan's CEO Mr. Ali Habib recognized WWF Nepal's achievements in conservation especially in zero poaching, GEF and forest carbon in a meeting at WWF Lahore office.
WWF Pakistan is very positive to continue WWF Nepal and WWF Pakistan's cooperation in the future. There are many areas where the two countries can collaborate, such as: Snow Leopard Conservation, Watershed Management, Forest Carbon, Green Office, Conservation Education and Fund Raising.
The Eco Club students from Nepal explored the ongoing conservation initiatives of Pakistan and interacted with Pakistani youth representatives from all provinces of Pakistan. The knowledge and experience of the trip will encourage the Eco Club students to work harder in biodiversity conservation.

Satirist Stephen Colbert is under fire for what some people are calling a racist tweet sent from the account of his show, "The Colbert Report."
The original message, posted Thursday afternoon but now deleted, was a play on Asian stereotypes. It was pulled directly from a segment on Wednesay's show (posted below) mocking Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder for responding to pressure to change his team's name by instead setting up a charity to aid Native Americans. The tweet read, "I am willing to show #Asian community I care by introducing the Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever."
But taken out of the larger context, many Twitter users thought the messaged trafficked in the very racism the show was originally trying to lampoon. By Thursday evening, the hashtag #CancelColbert was trending on Twitter, with users, assuming the tweet had been sent by Colbert rather than a representative of his show, personally blasting the host for perceived insensitivity. ("When satire becomes as offensive and hurtful as the thing satirized it is no longer satire. It is simply more injustice. #cancelcolbert," read one sample tweet.)
PHOTOS: Talk show hosts who didn't make the cut
Others, including comedians Jim Norton and Patton Oswalt, rushed to defend Colbert.
The original message was deleted within a few hours, a move that in turn prompted outrage from right-wing pundit Michelle Malkin, who accused Colbert of cowardice. Subsequent tweets from @ColbertReport explained the context and clarified that Colbert himself does not administer the account. Even Colbert weighed in humorously from his personal account saying, "#CancelColbert - I agree! Just saw @ColbertReport tweet. I share your rage. Who is that, though? I'm @StephenAtHome."
But as of Friday, the controversy continues to rage, and #CancelColbert remains a top trending subject on Twitter.
Outside of Twitter, Comedy Central has not commented on the matter.

We just got this from a reader who wishes to remain anonymous -- it's his very own Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 courtesy of Best Buy (see our hands-on here). It seems that his Tab 10.1 had a manufacturing defect, and when he went to Best Buy to return it they inadvertantly grabbed an 8.9-incher from the stockroom and handed it over. We know Best Buy is already taking pre-orders for the slightly smaller version, and it looks like at least one location has some on hand, waiting for the US launch day. We're excited to get our hands on one of these, so maybe we should start shopping at Best Buy.
Thanks, Anon!

In Scott Berkun's Confessions of a Public Speaker, he notes:
There is a moment at every movie, symphony and lecture, right before the show starts, when the entire audience goes silent...This is called the hush over the crowd, but really it's the moment when the crowd itself first forms...And when I'm the speaker, I know that special moment is the only time I will have the entire audience's full attention....What defines how well I'll do starts with how I use the power of that moment. The balance rests on a bigger question: how will I keep people's attention after that moment is gone?
I agree with Scott and in some ways, that helps you divide your talk into two important parts: A strong start, followed by a presentation or talk that's planned to keep bringing the audience's attention up high, knowing there's plenty that will divert your listeners.
Some of this involves basic physiology. Sitting passively slows people's attention. Berkun cites research by Donald A. Bligh, whose book What's The Use of Lectures? recounts using heart-rate monitors on students in lectures. Results? Audience heart rates were at their highest at the start, falling off through the rest of the lecture. Another researcher Berkun cites, John Medina, writes in Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School that your audience has a maximum attention span of 10 minutes. (That would be a total, not just for your beginning. Sorry.)
But Cliff Atkinson, author of The Backchannel: How Audiences are Using Twitter and Social Media and Changing Presentations Forever cuts an even finer standard for speakers and presenters, based on that technology backchannel tugging on audience members' attention. He says:
In a world in which your audience is accustomed to high-quality media at their fingertips, you need to capture their attention out of the gate. You must engage your audience within the first five slides or at least the first five minutes of your presentation.You've got the idea. Your sweet spot's a short one. Here are 4 ways to make the most of it to enhance your audience's attention:
- Start a conversation with the audience: Go beyond taking a poll of the audience, because they really want to contribute to your presentation. Ask an open-ended question related to the topic, and let them share their thoughts--or tell them you'd like to put the Q&A up front. It's a great way to get the time and information you need to calibrate your remarks. Audience members like to hear themselves and like the potential surprise their fellows can bring to a presentation.
- Enter the crowd--anywhere but the front: Moving yourself into the audience is a great tactic for building rapport and for holding attention. All eyes will follow you. Better yet, start talking with a portable microphone and by entering the crowd from the side or rear of the room, both for an added surprise and to shake up the norms of the audience.
- Don't waste precious minutes on preliminaries and throat-clearing: Forget telling them how very glad you are to be here today, how much you appreciate the invitation, that lame joke, talking about the weather, thanking the host committee or talking about yourself. (There: I just saved you three minutes.) Speakers love to back into their talks obliquely in these ways, and they're just wasting time. You can weave your bio into your presentation where it's relevant and thank the hosts with a nice note. Get right down to it.
- Craft a strong opening statement: Instead. replace those niceties with strong content: A compelling question, an odd fact, your most surprising point. Here's the time to use an unusual prop and ask the audience to guess what it is, or to suggest a strong viewpoint. Jump right in. You might try outlining a presentation as you normally would, then cutting out the first few preliminary slides or points and see where that gets you.

Saudi Arabia accused authorities in Buddhist-majority Myanmar on Monday of "ethnic cleansing" against the Muslim Rohingya minority in the west of the country, state media reported on Tuesday.
The Saudi cabinet said it "condemns the ethnic cleansing campaign and brutal attacks against Myanmar's Muslim Rohingya citizens, as well as violation of human rights by forcing them to leave their homeland," in a statement carried by the official SPA news agency.
The cabinet, chaired by King Abdullah, urged the "international community to take up its responsibilities by providing needed protection and quality of life to Muslims in Myanmar and preventing further loss of life."
Fighting in western Rakhine state between Buddhist Rakhine and Muslim Rohingya left three killed on Sunday, a government official in Yangon said.
The violence initially broke out following the rape and murder of a Rakhine woman and the subsequent lynching of 10 Muslims by a crowd of angry Buddhists.
The bloodshed has cast a shadow over widely praised reforms by President Thein Sein, that have included the release of hundreds of political prisoners and the election of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi to parliament.
The head of the Saudi-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Sunday proposed sending an OIC mission to probe the "massacres" of Rohingya Muslims.
The OIC will try to persuade the government in Yangon to accept an OIC fact-finding mission, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu told an executive committee meeting of the world's largest Muslim grouping which is based in the Saudi city of Jeddah.
He "expressed disappointment over the failure of the international community to take action to stop the massacres, violations, oppression and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the government of Myanmar against the Rohingya Muslims."
"The OIC has directed its offices at the United Nations in New York to urge the Council to look into the suffering of the Rohingya minority," he said, quoted in a statement issued by the 57-member organization.
Violence which erupted in June in Rakhine state between Buddhists and Rohingya left about 80 people dead from both sides, official figures showed.
The New York-based Human Rights Watch said that figure appeared "grossly underestimated," however, and accused security forces of opening fire on Muslims and committing rape.
Hundreds of Rohingya men and boys have been rounded up and remain incommunicado in the western region of the country formerly known as Burma, it said in a report.
Members of both the Muslim and Buddhist communities committed horrific acts of violence with reports of beheadings, stabbings, shootings and widespread arson in Rakhine, also known as Arakan state, the report added
On Sunday, the Speaker of the Arab Parliament, Ali al-Salem al-Dekbasi said the violent incidents taking place in Myanmar against the Muslims were "ethnic cleansing".
"Thousands of Muslims in Myanmar face massacre, genocide and ethnic cleansing. I call on all Muslim leaders to urgently intervene in the incidents," al-Dekbasi said.
"I call on the Myanmar authorities to arrest those responsible for the attacks against the Muslims. All those responsible should be tried by the International Criminal Court," al-Dekbasihe added/.
Myanmar's government considers the estimated 800,000 Rohingya in the country to be foreigners, while many citizens see them as illegal immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh and view them with hostility.
Decades of discrimination have left them stateless and they are viewed by the United Nations as one of the world's most persecuted minorities.

Gothenburg is encircled by rocky shoreline, deep forests, tranquil lakes and the surging sea to the west. No other Swedish city gives such easy access to nature. Right on the doorstep are wide open spaces and magical islands. Four centuries ago, when the decision was taken to build a harbour city on the west coast, the ambition was to open up Sweden to the outside world. Building a city on Swedish marshland, wedged between Norway and Denmark, was no easy undertaking, but with the help of the Dutch, English, Scots and Germans the vision was realised.
Today, Gothenburg is a flourishing green city with a vibrant cultural scene, world-class restaurants and a fascinating history. At the same time adventure is never far away. There is always an island waiting to be explored or a mountain to be conquered from the saddle of your bike.
With its light summer evenings, colourful autumn days and snow-blanketed winter mornings, Gothenburg is where you can experience the real Sweden.
Gothenburg is an open and accessible city. It offers almost everything you would expect of a cosmopolitan city – within walking distance. All you need is right in the city and you can get everywhere on foot – from the Central Station to your hotel, to the arenas, shopping, restaurants and nightlife. But it's not just close to everything; it's also easy to get here. Landvetter airport, the international airport is just 20 minutes from the city centre.
Today, Greater Gothenburg is home to 970,000 people from almost every country on the planet. It is they who give the city its soul, its pulse and its unique atmosphere. In Sweden, Gothenburgers have a reputation for their friendliness and hospitality, and many who visit the city for the first time can attest to just how welcoming it feels.

It Came From the Baby Shower...
In my inadvertently controversial baby post a while back, I told bakers that there's really nothing creepier than uber-realistic baby cakes.
Turns out, I may have to amend that a little.
Realistic? No. Creepy as all get-out? Ohhh yes. Little sweet pea here has a face only a stocking-clad bank robber could love - and may, in fact, be related to the giraffe family.
Disaster can also strike when a baker takes a cutesy saying just a little too literally:
And finally, this one proves that a cake doesn't have to have an edible baby on it to give people the willies:
Yep, when you see something like this you reeeally have to stop and think: Why oh why didn't they stop with the bassinet? It looks like Ashlyn is encased in icing Han Solo style.
Thanks Michelle B. & Julie Anne D.; these babies are reeeally something.

Alien Category Theory
The theorem itself was expressed as a commuting hypercube, one of the Niah's favorite forms. You could think of a square with four different sets of mathematical objects associated with each of its corners, and a way of mapping one set into another associated with each edge of the square. If the maps commuted, then going across the top of the square, then down, had exactly the same effect as going down the left edge of
the square, then across: either way, you mapped each element from the top-left set into the same element of the bottom-right set. A similar kind of result might hold for sets and maps that could naturally be placed at the corners and edges of a cube, or a hypercube of any dimension. It was also possible for the square faces in these structures to stand for relationships that held between the maps between sets, and for cubes to describe relationships between those relationships, and so on.
That a theorem took this form didn't guarantee its importance; it was easy to cook up trivial examples of sets and maps that commuted. The Niah didn't carve trivia into their timeless ceramic, though, and this theorem was no exception. The seven-dimensional commuting hypercube established a dazzlingly elegant correspondence between seven distinct, major branches of Niah mathematics, intertwining their most important concepts into a unified whole. It was a result Joan had never seen before: no mathematician anywhere in the Amalgam, or in any ancestral culture she had studied, had reached the same insight.
"Dark Integers" is also nominated, so he is literally in competition with himself! Egan is also a programmer, and has a lot of interesting non-fiction on his own web site (just Google Greg Egan).

NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer, or IBEX, has spent the last four years exploring the very edge of our solar system, where giant magnetic bubbles repel incoming charged particles while neutral ones stream in on their way to the Sun.
NASA has now released this awesome video explaining just what IBEX has seen in its four years of observation. In a NASA statement, mission scientist Eric Christian explains that what we've found out there is nothing like what we're used to here in the inner solar system:
"We've directly measured four separate types of atoms from interstellar space and the composition just doesn't match up with what we see in the solar system. IBEX's observations shed a whole new light on the mysterious zone where the solar system ends and interstellar space begins."
One key difference is that there's a much greater concentration of oxygen inside our solar system than outside. That's good news for us, of course - we wouldn't be here without oxygen - but it does complicate the picture for how the solar system originally formed. David McComas, the principal investigator for IBEX at the Southwest Research Institute, says there are two main possibilities to explain this:
"Either the solar system evolved in a separate, more oxygen-rich part of the galaxy than where we currently reside or a great deal of critical, life-giving oxygen lies trapped in interstellar dust grains or ices, unable to move freely throughout space."
For more details on the IBEX mission, check out NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

Zscaler Likejaking Prevention
op jusob
The Zscaler Likejacking Prevention keeps you safe from Facebook scams that hide widgets such as 'Like' buttons on third party pages, using a technique known as clickjacking. With Likejacking, attackers exploit the Facebook Like button and other Facebook widgets, to spread spam and propagate scams by tricking users into advertising the malicious content via their own Facebook profiles.
Likejacking is a form of Clickjacking – a social engineering attack whereby victims are tricked into clicking on one or more hidden links on a page. With Likejacking, attackers exploit the Facebook 'Like' button and other Facebook widgets, to spread spam and propagate scams by tricking users into advertising the malicious content via their own Facebook profiles.
This extension offers two main features:
* Information about the page: Does it contain Facebook widgets? Are these widgets hidden?
* Protection: Require explicit confirmation from the user when clicking on a Facebook widget on a suspicious page
An icon is displayed in the URL bar when a page contains at least one Facebook widget. If the page is suspicious, meaning hidden widgets were detected, the icon has a red background. You can use http://www.zscaler.com/research/plugins/likejacking/example.htm as an example of a suspicious page for testing purposes.
You can get more information on the page by clicking on the icon:
* How many widgets were found on the page
* Whether the page is suspicious or not
* What protection was applied on the Facebook widgets
The toolbar also lets users perform certain actions on the page. A user can whitelist the current domain (see details below), manage their preferences, or display the hidden Facebook widgets on the page.
Users can also report back to Zscaler any page that was classified improperly by clicking on "Report an error". This will open a new tab in the user's browser and send them to a form on the zscaler.com website. We will use this information to improve the add-on.
The extension can modify the source of the page (opacity, height, weight, z-index, overflow, etc.). You can try this feature on the Zscaler test page - http://www.zscaler.com/research/plugins/likejacking/example.htm.
- Deze extensie kan functionaliteit veranderen of toevoegen aan een of meer websites.

The #2 Way to Ruin a Cake
Step #1: Take a perfectly decent-looking cake
Step #2: Add random poo piles - just for giggles.
Eh? What's that? You think those are simply palm tree poos? Ok, I guess I could see that. But, can you explain...[dramatic pause]...THIS?
Actually, this isn't too much of a leap if you figure the customer asked for a "Princess and the Pea" cake. [wicked grin]
Then there are the stock designs with poo built right in:
And to think: this is what "passes" for "cake decorating." But hey, maybe the designer was wiped out after a hard day logging too many hours, and got a little lax? If so, let that be a lesson to us all: don't push too hard; you'll only strain yourself producing crappy results.
And finally, a classic for the ages:
Many thanks to my #2 wreckporters Kelli N., Wendi P., Stacey B., Jenny, & Sara B.

StatusCompetition Entry
Area0.0 m2
In keeping with the Olympic spirit, today we share a competition master plan entry for Rio by Colombia-based architect Luis Callejas, Una Arquitetos, Grupo SP e República Arquitetos. Although Callejas has been practicing professional for four short years, he has already made quite an impression on the architecture world. In that time, Callejas has designed and realized two of the most relevant recent projects in Latin America for public sports infrastructure: The aquatic center for the South American Games of 2010, and the complete renovation of the main soccer stadium in Bogota, Colombia. For his scheme for Rio's Olympic Park master plan, the park functions sectionally as the sporting functions - both the main areas and the support spaces - are organized in a stacked manner rather than pulled apart in plan. This allows for a fluid and open space for audiences, and creates "No icons but one big vital scenario halfway between a small city and a big park."
One component of the master plan incorporates Rio's old F1 Racing track which will be recycled to function as the main pedestrian path through the park.
The accommodations for the athletes are intended to serve as a model for future urbanization, as they utilize the privileged plots of the site with the hope of being maintained after the Games. The other permanent facilities, such as the welcome center, medical facilities and sponsors' village, are located under the public roof.
For the temporary program, the hockey areas and the tennis court will be transformed into a Sports museum annex/medicial facilities annex, and a sports shopping center, respectively.
The proposal includes a vastly landscaped area which will serve to recolonize other parts of the lagoon with more than 10000 new native trees. The trees in the grid will be permanent to provide constant greenery for Rio.

Fab.com now boasts more than 10 million members.
That's an impressive feat for the design-based social shopping site, which went live in 2011.
Because Fab prides itself on making fashion accessible to the masses, its the "Ikea of fashion," writes Kerry Folan at Racked.com.
The two businesses have many similarities. Both are focused on a clean design aesthetic and offering products that are affordable to everyone.
Bradford Shelhammer, Fab.com's co-founder, told Racked about his company's philosophy, which isn't about selling heavily-marked down designer gear.
"We will not be selling, for example, last season's Tory Burch inventory. That's not Fab," Shelhammer said "In many ways, we're doing for fashion what we did for home and product design—we're making it more accessible to everyone. We're reinventing the way people discover fashion and at the same time creating a marketplace for indie designers. It's the democratization of fashion and it's a very a big deal."
Sales in the fourth quarter were up five-fold from a year earlier, a huge jump, Mashable reported.
While Fab doesn't have the brick-and-mortar presence of Ikea, it's definitely a leader in the democratization of fashion.

Of late I came across so many attractive living rooms that use the red and white combination that I thought it was time to put in a post. Color-wise, White is subtle and Red is intense. Togethor these two colors seem to work really well. Not all the rooms that we feature today will use the two colors in the same manner or proportion. Each room solves the balance problem in its own unique way. For example in some living rooms, the color red is sparingly used as an accent while in others it dominates. Whatever be the ratio of usage, we can tell you one thing: some people have put very careful thought in designing these red and white living rooms!

Lessons About 401(k) Education
There's a good chance you've occasionally received emails or other communications at work encouraging you to log on to a company website or attend a meeting hosted by HR people concerning your company 401(k) plan.
And there's just as good a chance that you've ignored these communications. Despite this, if you're over the age of 40, you probably sometimes wonder whether you're doing enough to plan your retirement. If you don't wonder about it, you should.
These two behaviors couldn't be more contradictory. If you're going to have a sufficient retirement nest egg, you have to make the right choices in the management of assets in your 401(k) plan. And to make the right choices, you need investment information and basic financial information to understand it. This is a two-way street: Your employer's obligation, under federal rules, is to provide this education. Your obligation to yourself — and your family — is to take advantage of it.
If you work for a large company, it's a safe bet that your employer has a fairly robust 401(k) plan with a well-developed education program. Smaller companies don't tend to do as well as a rule, but some are fairly attentive to these matters. Regardless, education on plans and the investments in them is essential if you're to manage your plan account optimally.
Large or small, your employer is nonetheless responsible for educating employees participating in their 401(k) plan about choosing and managing assets available under the plan so they can get the best outcomes. Companies may do this themselves, using HR people as educators, or outsource this function to professional advisors.
Regardless of which route your company takes, it should have a written policy for plan education that spells out how information will be communicated — whether through group meetings, individual sessions with a plan advisor, written materials, dedicated plan websites, webinars or what-have-you.
The policy should also spell out the information that these sessions or media should communicate, including:
Characteristics of the investment options under the plan.
Regarding mutual funds, this should involve the basics: what a mutual fund is, how it works, categories of companies (small-cap, mid-cap, large-cap, etc.), and the importance of reducing market risk by diversification of assets among companies of different sizes and in different industries.
Tax advantages.
The contributions you make to your 401(k) plan come out of your gross pay, so they lower your taxable income. You don't pay taxes on it until you take money out after retiring.
Employer matching money.
Many companies match employee contributions up to a given percentage and a given maximum. This is free money. The more you're contributing to your plan account for retirement, the more your company will contribute, within limits.
The impact of fees.
The impact of fees on your net investment returns, which can make a huge difference in the long run. The federal government has recently adopted sweeping new regulations requiring employers sponsoring 401(k) plans to become aware of all fees affecting plan accounts, long a matter of benign neglect, oversight or unconcern. Employers are required to assure you receive fee disclosures and that fees are reasonable, which means eliminating investments with companies that charge too much. Your job as a consumer is to make sure this is being done.
Age-related considerations.
The older you are, the more you're probably thinking — or should be thinking — about your retirement, but the less time you have to build up your nest egg. If you're 25 years old, your approach to investing for retirement is a lot different than it would be if you were 55. These younger investors can take more risk because they have more time for their portfolios to recover from losses.
The importance of risk tolerance.
Risk tolerance doesn't just vary with age; it also varies among individuals of the same age. This can be a tricky area. Some individuals are much less risk-averse regarding their investments than they initially believe. By talking to your plan advisor, you can get a better sense of your true risk tolerance. Then, you should apply this to your plan investment portfolio. If you find you're highly risk averse, perhaps you should sell some of your shares in that highly aggressive international small-cap fund you bought when you signed up with the plan. If your risk tolerance is truly moderate, perhaps the ultra-conservative portfolio you put together under the plan isn't aggressive enough.
Information on what types of advisors serve the plan — if any.
The new federal rules require employers to determine whether their plan advisors have potential conflicts, based on disclosures these advisors are now required to make. For example, plan education is often offered by brokers, yet brokers are expressly forbidden to make recommendations concerning the suitability of specific investments. So, at these companies, the broker that hosts your group seminar can't really advise you specifically on your portfolio in any depth. For that, you need a fiduciary advisor — one who, because of federal regulations and greater potential legal liability, must avoid all conflicts of interest.
The critical issue of funding.
No matter how well your plan investments perform, if you don't contribute enough to your plan within allowable limits you will likely come up short when it comes to having enough money to pay retirement expenses. There is a developing retirement crisis in America: Too few people are contributing enough to their plans — plans they're relying on exclusively to pay for their retirement. If you don't contribute enough, it doesn't matter how well you're managing your plan investments. The sad truth is that far too many people are contributing too little too late.
Is it covered?
Does the education program at your company cover these items? If not, why not? This is a good question to ask your HR department.
Of course, these questions assume that you know what's going on regarding the 401(k) plan at your company. If you're ignoring those emails or have never visited the dedicated plan website or have failed to attend the bag-lunch seminars that your company routinely hosts, then maybe it's not your company that's behind — it's you.
