Some people (psychopaths) haven't realised that they are wrong. Those are shared morals that you are trying to project globally. In the same way that in Islamic cultures it is considered immoral to drink, or to have s e x before marriage. You could, just as easily, be raised to think that murder is an acceptable occurrence in society.flop wrote:The point, Dom, which I was trying to make, is:
If we all grew up from the sand, formed into apes and eventually stood upright and began speaking somewhat coherently, at which point did we realize, "Hey, you know what, murder, SPAM, child abuse – that stuff is wrong…"
Look at Nazi Germany - almost an entire nation managed to turn off their morals very quickly and easily. Your morals may not be the same as the next person, and don't hold our civilisation up as a banner of moralistic compassion, because it's not. (That said, SPAM is utterly reprehensible and spammers should be shot)
No, I don't believe that I do. A soul is a metaphysical, theistic concept. I'm an atheist - we don't believe in souls. We are organisms, plain and simple. We may have more complex cognitive functions than others, but in the end, we are just bones, cartilage and meat - there is no metaphysical dimension to us.flop wrote: C'mon Dom, you've got a soul don't you, you feel pain, anger, sadness, joy and happiness?
Ten-four, good buddy.flop wrote: But what would I know, I'm just a moron, right?

Is this a good idea?
I know this would be an enormous chore and one that would be very time consuming but I think for those who casually visit here it could be an invaluable resource.
I think we could start with compiling a list of the most commonly asked questions about Keats and his work.
Anyone wish to help me in this Hurculean endeavour?

My wife Jennifer and I are both graduates from Purdue and have lived in West Lafayette since graduation in 1993. We both completed graduate programs at Purdue and were fortunate to find employment in West Lafayette. I worked for the Purdue Libraries until 2000 when I transferred to a position at Cook Biotech in the Purdue Research Park. I am currently the Director of IT at Cook Biotech and work with a team of IT professionals to support the global efforts of Cook Medical, based in Bloomington. Jennifer and I have two boys Nate and Zach. Nate started at Montessori when he was 3 and continued through the 3rd grade. Nate is currently attending Central Catholic High School. We were extremely pleased with Nate's progress while at Montessori and believe his love of reading and kind, loving demeanor were developed during his years at MSGL. Zach is currently attending St Lawrence Elementary School. Zach has a very easy-going personality with a desire to explore and be free. He thrives on the mobility and freedom to choose activities for himself. We feel the MSGL Elementary program allowed Zach to grow and progress in his areas of interest, especially math. even though our boys are no longer attending MSGL, Jennifer and I are committed to continue to support the school. I have served on the board for several years and look forward to continuing this service.

NSA Boss & Defenders Insist NSA Can't Abuse Surveillance Systems; Forgets To Mention It Already Has
from the just-saying deptAs NSA boss Keith Alexander was in Vegas to present at the Black Hat conference this week, much of the attention has been paid to the fact that he was heckled by audience members, though others in attendance said that the audience was "mostly supportive" of Alexander's statements. Either way, I'd like to focus in on a key point that he made, when he claimed that NSA analysts wouldn't abuse their surveillance powers, because they're audited and trained not to break the rules:
"The assumption is our people are just out there wheeling and dealing. Nothing could be further from the truth. We have tremendous oversight over these programmes. We can audit the actions of our people 100%, and we do that," he said.Meanwhile, Rep. Mike Rogers, who really doesn't know when to give up, went out on Twitter to "defend" the leaks about XKeyscore, insisting that they're magically immune from abuse because of "legal constraints, comprehensive training and layers of oversight built into all NSA programs."
[....] Should anyone in the NSA try to circumvent that, in defiance of policy, they would be held accountable, he said: "There is 100% audibility." Only 35 NSA analysts had the authority to query a database of US phone records, he said.
You see, that sounds great... except for the fact that we already know that they have abused those powers. Back in 2009, it was revealed that NSA analysts viewed former President Bill Clinton's emails:
An anonymous former intelligence analyst tells reporters James Risen and Eric Lichtblau that during much of the Bush years, the NSA "tolerated significant collection and examination of domestic e-mail messages without warrants." Reportedly, one of the accessed domestic e-mail accounts belonged to former President Bill Clinton.This same report gets to the supposed "training" that Alexander insists helps to prevent abuse:
The former analyst added that his instructors had warned against committing any abuses, telling his class that another analyst had been investigated because he had improperly accessed the personal e-mail of former President Bill Clinton.I can just imagine sitting in that "training" in which the NSA says don't look at people's emails, because someone once looked at Bill Clinton's emails. That seems more like daring them to spy on emails. It's telling them "holy shit, you can look at famous and powerful people's emails." And, of course, that's not the only story of abuse. A year earlier, it was reported that NSA linguists listened in on phone sex calls between Americans living abroad.
Adrienne Kinne, a former U.S. Army Reserves Arab linguist, told ABC News the NSA was listening to the phone calls of U.S. military officers, journalists and aid workers overseas who were talking about "personal, private things with Americans who are not in any way, shape or form associated with anything to do with terrorism."So, forgive us for being skeptical when Alexander and Rogers insist that abuse is basically impossible because of "oversight" and "training." We've already seen that abuse occur. As far as I know, the NSA still hires analysts from the human race, and with that comes people who are given great responsibility -- and the ability to give in to temptation, such as scouring a former President's emails. To claim that there isn't any abuse just isn't credible.
David Murfee Faulk, a former U.S. Navy Arab linguist, said in the news report that he and his colleagues were listening to the conversations of military officers in Iraq who were talking with their spouses or girlfriends in the United States.
According to Faulk, they would often share the contents of some of the more salacious calls stored on their computers, listening to what he called "phone sex" and "pillow talk."

New Canaan's Towbin claims second place at FCIAC Diving Championship
STAMFORD -- The champion retains her title.
Westhill-Stamford sophomore Rachel Burston remained perfect on the stage of the FCIAC Diving Championship as she captured her second crown in two seasons Tuesday night.
"Actually I was very nervous coming into the meet. I'm very surprised that I dove so well," said Burston, proudly wearing both her FCIAC Championship gold medal and her fluffy Moose slippers she acquired from her brother Sean. "Competing here at my home pool helps. I know all the nuances and best spots on these diving boards. That made me confident as we went along."
It was a wonderful 11-round battle put forth by Burston and New Canaan's Kylie Towbin.
Burston finished with 423.15 points compared to 415.25 points for Towbin. Both totals were worthy of All-American consideration.
Burston's diving stock has soared like an S&P 500 chart.
More InformationFact box
She is a year older, a year wiser and has had a timely growth spurt. Burston literally powered her way to the 2013 FCIAC Diving crown.
"I'm so much stronger this year. I'm able to jump higher off the board," Burston said. "That has allowed me to increase the difficulty of the dives in my program repetoire."
Towbin had only one diving hiccup but that was enough to open the door for Burston, who will now try to defend her Class LL diving title. She was third at the 2012 State Open diving.
The newest comet on the FCIAC diving horizon is freshman Shannon Daine of Trinity Catholic High School. Daine was consistent throughout, taking third place with 329.55 points, just ahead of Fairfield Ludlowe's Kelsey Tague (326.55).
"I'm very happy with my performance," Daine said. "I had so many good dives."
Daine is a student at Trinity Catholic which doesn't field a girls swim team. Therefore, Daine has been competing as a one-girl team in the diving competitions at the Wilton High regular season swim meets. Daine began her diving career in third grade in Greenwich.
It was a fine evening for Westhill-Stamford, who garnered 34 points to the team points standings at Wednesday's FCIAC Swim Championship at the Greenwich High pool at 4 p.m. Darien collected 36 points while New Canaan managed 26 points in the final FCIAC Diving standings.
Westhill-Stamford senior Lauren Cunningham took fifth place with 307.95 points while Caroline Feldman placed 27th in her first postseason action.
"It means a lot to me to end my senior year in this fashion," said Cunningham, who succeeded despite a right hand injury. "I'm happy to have seen the Westhill-SHS diving program grow over the last four years. And I know Caroline and Rachel will carry it forward."
Rounding out the Top 10 were Darien's Molly Klein (303.35 points), Darien's Kyla Pech (302.65),Darien's Jennifer Schrenker (299.75), Wilton's Allison Courtney (297.45) and Greenwich's Ines Villemure (297.20).

USC Stripped of 2004 National Football Championship
The University of Southern California has been part of some amazing history in the annals of college football, but its most recent accomplishment is nothing to be proud of.
The school has been stripped of its 2004 national championship, the Bowl Championship Series announced Monday, in a move directly tied to star running back Reggie Bush playing while ineligible.
Bush had his 2005 Heisman Trophy taken away last year after the NCAA ruled he had been ineligible by receiving improper benefits. He was the first and only player to have his Heisman vacated.
USC had defeated Oklahoma, 55-19, in the 2005 Orange Bowl to claim the national title. The Trojans' appearance in the Orange Bowl the following season is also being vacated. In that game, USC lost to the University of Texas in the national championship.
BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock released a statement about the decision, saying, "The BCS arrangement crowns a national champion, and the BCS games are showcase events for post-season football. One of the best ways of ensuring that they remain so is for us to foster full compliance with NCAA rules. Accordingly, in keeping with the NCAA's recent action, USC's appearances are being vacated."
This marks the first time a major college program has had a title removed in either football or men's basketball.

Because it isn't!
Cash's version is excellent, but Trent's original is the best. If you've ever witnessed it live, it's incredibly moving.LastAstronaut this'd this
his version is schmaltzy and awful
Johnny Cash's cover of 'See a Darkness' is probably better
than the original (and has Oldham doing the backing vocals which is awesome).
Spacemen 3 - Ecstasy Symphony (Transparent Radiation)
A band that knew how to take a song and really make it their own.
Galaxie 500 - Ceremony
Another band which could do exactly the same
I saw Mike Flowers Pops back in the day
They did loads of Burt Bacharach songs and stuff like that. It was fun. After they played Wonderwall, he said "and if you bought the original, I hope you kept your receipt". I decided I liked him after that.
I genuinely think
the Oasis cover of I Am The Walrus on Jools Holland beats the original
(International) Noise Conspiracy - Baby Doll, by N*E*R*D
Baby Doll was an album track on In Search Of..., and the (I)NC made it into the greatest song in the world.

Trelleborg has added yet another award to its collection, taking home the "Neumático del Año Agrícola 2016" award in Spain. On July 26, Trelleborg received the award for its new TM1060 range with ProgressiveTraction™ technology. Organized by NMR magazine - Neumáticos y Mecánica Rápida - the award recognizes outstanding contributions to the agricultural industry in terms of innovation, performance and respect for the environment.
TM1060 range upgrades the Trelleborg offering of high performance solutions for new generations of tractors, ranging from 80 to over 300 HP.
The new TM1060 tread design merges the best qualities of Trelleborg's agricultural radial products. Whilst the wing effect maximizes the tread width, ensuring an extra wide footprint, the ProgressiveTraction™ technology boosts the traction capability. Furthermore, the increased sidewall flexibility leads to very low soil compaction without impacting on the superior tyre strength.
The TM1060 features a higher load capacity compared to the same sizes in standard technology. The Trelleborg /60 series is a step ahead with regards to tyres for medium and high power tractors, allowing the same load at lower pressure or a higher load at the same pressure.
Capable of working at extremely low pressure, with the typical aspect ratio of a 60 series, the TM1060 generates an extra wide footprint area improving farm productivity and crop yield while respecting the soil.
On the road, the new sidewall design significantly lowers rolling resistance, fuel consumption and emissions, while increasing stress tolerance, comfort and security for the operator. The inter-lug terracing at the base of the lug helps with mud ejection, maximizing the self-cleaning capability of the tyre.
Ramón Martinez, Country Manager Spain and Portugal at Trelleborg Wheel Systems commented: "At Trelleborg, we hold a long-standing commitment to helping farming professionals produce more with less. To be recognized so enthusiastically in this category is testament to the TM1060 tyre's ability to not only help farming professionals achieve higher efficiency and greater productivity, but do so with the maximum respect for the environment."
Juan Alberto de Sosa, Director Neumáticos y Mecánica Rápida, says: "Born in 2000, the award "Tyre of the Year" in Spain turns 16 with a heritage that sums up the history of the tyre and it became a reference in the tyre industry of our country. This award to Trelleborg has special value for us because this year we introduced the category "Agro industrial tyres" for the first time."

I Am Picturing Pizzablogger's Workplace, and It Looks Like This
I just read this in the comments, and it makes even me scratch my head and then visualize a scene similar to what I just Photoshopped above:
... Lemons and blood oranges are in season. Think I'll try the lemon pizza and also a blood orange pizza tonight. The dough sitting next to me at work says it'll look flashy wearing bright citrus colors, so who am I to argue?
Pizzablogger, why do you have dough AT WORK? You have truly taken pizza madness to the next level. (And do your coworkers know what you've got hiding under your desk?) LOL.

Wedding bells rang for the first time for same-sex couples in New Jersey just after midnight on Monday when the state became the 14th in the nation to legalize gay marriage.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, a Democrat due to leave office this month after his election to the U.S. Senate last week, opened City Hall at midnight to perform some of the first ceremonies. Mayors in Lambertville, Red Bank and Jersey City did likewise.
The marriages took place after New Jersey's Supreme Court ruled on Friday against a request by Republican Gov. Chris Christie to freeze a lower court ruling in favor of gay marriage until the top court could hear the state's appeal in January and issue a final decision.
Moments after the state's highest court denied Christie's request, New Jersey municipalities began accepting applications for marriage licenses from same-sex couples.
In Newark, nine couples, both gay and straight, took their vows in the City Hall rotunda in a ceremony officiated by Booker, who said his tenure was ending on a high note.
"Tonight we have crossed a barrier," Booker told the newlyweds and their families and friends. "While you all have fallen into love, the truth is the state of New Jersey has risen to love."
Jenelle Torres, 42, and her longtime partner, Lydia Torres, 44, were among the first to marry. They had previously obtained a license in New York but were eager to wed in their home state.
"It's monumental. I'm so thankful and humbled," said Torres. "I'm just so proud to be a part of this. A part of history," she said.
The ceremonies in Newark went off mostly without a hitch, though one man was ejected after yelling out that gay marriages were "unlawful in the sight of God."
For other same sex couples planning to marry this week, the new marriage law fulfilled both personal and political aspirations.
"This has been a long time coming," said Hoboken resident Allen Kratz, who plans to marry his partner of 28 years, Paul Somerville, at a private ceremony on Thursday.
The couple was legally wed in Oregon in 2004, but the Oregon Supreme Court nullified gay marriage a year later.
"We are very excited that now, finally, we get to marry," Kratz said. "I know some political leaders think it's too soon. But civil rights always come too soon for those in a position of power and never soon enough for those who have been denied life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Under state law, those seeking to marry in New Jersey must apply for a marriage license and then wait at least 72 hours.
The waiting period does not apply to couples who have been legally wed in the 13 states, plus the District of Columbia, that already recognize same-sex marriage.

Last Supper Prayer Card
Like so many of you, we have spent the last several days and weeks learning about the coronavirus (COVID-19) and how it is impacting our world.
For The Regal Line, that means understanding how it affects our employees, customers, and communities, and then making the necessary adjustments to our work and operations. We have one simple objective that guides us: keeping you and our employees safe. This has been at the center of our conversations every step of the way.
We are closely following the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) guidelines and recommendations on the steps we can take to help prevent the spread of the virus. We have shared specific instructions with our employees on the importance of washing their hands and staying home if they feel sick or are returning from an area of the world identified as posing a coronavirus-related risk.

For nearly two decades, Sports Illustrated has stirred the tea leaves to discern a weekly Sign of the Apocalypse. Deadspin salutes the magazine's ongoing effort to cover the end of times but declines to cede the scoop on the biggest event in world history.
Here's SI's Sign of the Apocalypse this week:
A Chinese hospital used a photo of former world-record hurdler and national hero Liu Xiang crumpled on the track after he crashed into the first hurdle at the London Olympics-accompanied by the words "Falling immediately after the start! … men's unspeakable agony"-to promote a cure for male sexual dysfunction.
Ah yes, the ol' erectile dysfunction hurdler cross-promotion. If that doesn't get you stocking your reinforced root cellar with iodine and Spam, you must not believe in a hell. Deadspin could pile other potential signs onto your now-terrible day. After all, this was the week that a third-string Ohio State quarterback tweeted that "we ain't come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS," and the Oakland A's came back from the dead to win the AL West and an outgoing ESPN Radio host confirmed our darkest fears about the Worldwide Leader: "I was told specifically, 'You can't talk enough Tebow.'"
Instead, Deadspin's choosing this as our Sign of the Apocalypse:
More than 400 children have died while others have suffered permanent physical and mental harm in illegal Nigerian gold mines that expose children to lead dust, in what Doctors Without Borders has labeled among the world's worst recent cases of environmental lead poisoning.
In Nigerian Gold Rush, Lead Poisons Thousands Of Children [NPR]

TamilGun 2019: Known for downloading the latest Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bollywood Movies. If you like downloading movies from the internet, then you must have heard about it. Today we will try to give you complete information related to this. Do read this post till the last.
Hindi means internet. Internet is a network that is spread all over the world. Today, through this we can easily talk to people from any corner of the world. Thousands of people remain nearby even after staying away from it. The Internet has become a very big need. Its huge contribution is found in every field.
As you all will know that every good thing has its bads too. Similarly, the internet can also be used in two ways. Some people use it for good works and some for bad works as well.
TamilGun 2019 HD Movies Download
In a few years, the number of Indian internet users has increased a lot. Because we get an internet connection at a very low price right now. A few years ago, internet data was very expensive. Due to which very few people used the internet.
Internet is being used for this kind of work. People are using it mostly for entertainment. Through the Internet, watch movies, listen to songs, read books, read news and entertain themselves in many ways.
Everyday people constantly search in google "How to download Bollywood movies?", "How to download Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam Movies?" So today we are going to tell you about a site from which you can get free By all means, you can download Indian movies in high definition.
If you like watching new, new Hindi, Madrasi, Tamil, Telugu movies then you will also want that instead of taking it from others, you can download it directly on your phone or computer. Very few people know about this.
You would like to tell everyone that downloading any kind of pirated movies from the internet is not an easy task. Because the government does not allow pirated sites. Because he illegally leaks the movie. With which the movie does not earn.
Today we are going to talk about a popular torrent site TamilGun . TamilGun are one of the most popular torrent sites in the year 2019. You must have heard about it too. Today I will try to give all the information related to it. If you have any confusions, you can comment below and ask.
What is TamilGun ?
TamilGun is a torrent website that allows downloading movies like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and many more for free. This website is very popular and people search for it a lot.
This is a pirate website that illegally gives people to download movies. Its team is very big, due to which it leaks a lot of Tamil films before release. Which causes filmmakers to suffer a lot of damage. Film producers adopt many methods to avoid piracy but still do not block it.
The government always takes action against this site and blocks its domain, but still, its owners point the site at the new domain. And the popularity of this site is so high that as soon as people get its link, immediately thousands of traffic starts coming.
According to our research TamilGun was previously a bootleg recording network, which was established in 2011. But later it became a public torrent website which started providing pirated copy links of Indian films. This website has gradually become very popular.
This is a pirated website which publically makes available copyrighted material in which television shows, movies, music, and videos. All kinds of films will be found in it. You can download Hollywood films in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu or Malayalam. It provides many links to download movies. In India, almost all internet providers block this site to access the government's permission, but these people buy new domains and then live the site again.
What kind of movies can be downloaded from here?
As you will know that this is a very popular website. Every day millions of people search about this website. Here you will find many types of movies. But its main focus is on Tamil movies. You will also know from its domain name.
You can download Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannar, Hollywood, Bollywood Hindi Dubbed Movies from here. Apart from this, you will also go to TV serials.
TamilGun is the only website that first leaks the latest movies and puts them on its site. This website has made a place in the day of millions of people. Every day millions of searches are done about this website.
Why is Illegal downloading a movie from TamilGun ?
You must all know that pirated websites are not allowed in our India. So if you download the movie from TamilGun site then it will be illegal. Because it uploads all the content of the site in its own site illegally without the permission of its owner.
You can understand that thousands of people work hard to produce a single film and millions of money are also spent together. After that, the film is made. When people see that film in theaters, filmmakers will benefit.
If someone uploads the film on the internet as soon as it is released, then the moviemakers are going to suffer a lot of damage. This is the work of a pirated website that uploads the pirated version of the latest movie released on their site so that people download it easily.
Piracy is increasing day by day. If piracy continues to grow like this then people will not like to watch the movie in the theater. The result of which will be that in the end, the filming will stop. Film producers are working very hard to stop this.
I would advise you to watch movies in the theater itself. Because the film does not become like this. It requires a lot of hard work and money. Anyway, the fun of watching a movie in the hall is different. We cannot compare it with a computer or television.
How to Watch Online Movies Legally?
People download the movie illegally from pirated website to save their money and time. But they do not know that it is not only the movie makers but our country is also being harmed. When a movie is released, the government also charges tax according to its earnings.
Therefore, I would advise you to watch the movie legally. If you do not want to watch in the theater, then wait for some time. When its original print arrives, download or watch it.
If you want to legally download or watch movies from the internet, then Netflix, Hotstar, Amazon Prime, ZEE5, Youtube, Voot, Viu, sony liv is a very good platform for this. All these companies buy the movie legally and upload it to their site. If you watch or download from here, then filmmakers will benefit.
Why is it so difficult to stop TamilGun ?
This website is the most popular in India to download the latest movie. It is said that the pirated version of any new movie is first uploaded on this website. Therefore, the number of its fans is in millions.
A movie 2.0 of 2018 was leaked to TamilGun just hours after its release. Due to which the filmmakers were very upset. Because the budget for this film was very high. His team tried hard to stop it but could not stop it. Now the question is, is it very difficult to stop TamilGun site?
Around 1200 piracy websites were blocked on the order of the 2018 Madras High Court. In which 2000 links were of TamilGun only. But still, these people are not stopping.
Many big teams work to run this website. Which is difficult to know about. Its site is based on the proxy network. This site is blocked by the telecommunication department. But its administrators are very drivers. These people immediately point their site to the new domain.
The government is taking many steps to stop the piracy site but it is difficult to stop them. I am telling you the names of some domains that TamilGun have recently used.

How to Unblock TamilGun ?
We know that the government always keeps creating the new domain URL of this website. Whenever these people add a new domain, when the government gets to know about it after being a little papular, then it is blocked. Let me tell you that it is only banned in India, the rest of the countries can access it. a question is how can we access this site from India.
The answer is that we can access it using a VPN. Actually, with VPN we can hide the real IP and access the site from another country proxy.
Many free and paid VPN providers will be available right now. You can use them. Or if you somehow get TamilGun new link then it is better.
How much does this website earn?
You must be aware that if millions of people visit it daily, then its daily income is also very high. Its main sources of earnings are Advertising and Link shortener. You all will know that AdSense does not support pirated website. So, it mostly consists of ads from 3rd party sites like Propeller Ads Media, popAds, popMyAds, Dynamic Oxygen, Exit Junction, Blacklabelads, BuzzBizz.
- Daily visitors: 3 – 4 Lakhs
- Daily Income: 1000$ to 3000$
This day's earning of this site is around 2 – 3 lakh rupees and monthly income are about 90 lakh rupees. Normally, we use AdSense ads on our site, on which the visitor clicks on his own. But the piracy site mostly uses popup ads, which the visitor does not control. If you click on any part of the site, then only the ads are clicked.
Now we are going to talk about the expenses in running this site below.
Cloudflare – 200 $ per Month, Security Firewall – 500 $ per year, Hosting Cost – 200 $ approx, Domain Cost – 50 $ approx.
So much money has to be spent to run this site, else it has to be careful as well as hard.
How popular are TamilGun ?
In our country, people have become very crazy about pirated sites. Perhaps that's why millions of people search every day about pirated websites. If you are not sure, then I am going to show proof of this also.
TamilGun is one of the most popular piracy sites. Many times the pirated version has been uploaded on this site before the movie is released. Perhaps, for this reason, millions of people visit this site every day. Millions of people keep searching about it on google.
After seeing this report, you must have realized its popularity. You can see that about 4 million or more than 40 lakh searches are done daily. Many times more than very large informational sites. Perhaps this is what motivates them to do this dangerous work. While this is a very big crime and if caught, it can be a big punishment.
Please Do Make Piracy or Copy of a Movie. This is totally Illegal
What technology is used in TamilGun ?
Some people are upset wondering why the government does not punish him by finding out the owner of TamilGun . So tell you that the government is trying hard to find them but they are not able to succeed. The reason for this is the technology used on this website. Due to which they have completely hidden. So let's know which technology is used in it.

Are Movies From TamilGun Dangerous?
the answer is "yes".
You will all know that ads of Adsense cannot be used on a pirated website. So these people use 3rd party ad network to earn more money. Such sites mostly contain pop-up ads.
If you do not know about popup ads, then let me tell you that javascript is used a lot in such ads and we do not have control over it. We will click on any part of the site, it will click on the ads itself. Some people keep limits. So when you click on a link for the first time, ads would click but would start linking a second time.
As soon as you click on popup ads, you can be redirected to an unknown site. As soon as you click on such ads, malware will be automatically downloaded & installed in your system. This can cause a security issue. Therefore, you should stay away from all pirated websites only.
Piracy of any original content under Indian law is a punishable offense. uniraj.com.co strongly opposes this type of piracy. The content shown here is only to provide you with the necessary information about the illegal activities. Its purpose is not at any time and in any way to provide encouragement to piracy and immoral acts. Please stay away from such websites and choose the right way to download the movie.

NASCAR driver accuses another of stealing transporter
- Mike Harmon has been accused of stealing Jennifer Jo Cobb%27s team transporter
- An arrest warrant was issued for felony larceny and breaking and entering
- Harmon is the former team manager for Cobb%27s Nationwide team
SALISBURY, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR driver Mike Harmon has been accused of stealing a team transporter from Jennifer Jo Cobb.
Cobb reported the trailer was stolen early Saturday from the JJC racing shop. She is a driver and team owner in NASCAR's truck series.
Cobb told investigators the trailer was taken by Harmon and Sheila Rae Rice, and the Rowan County Sheriff's Office said it issued warrants for their arrest for felony larceny and breaking and entering.
Cobb estimated the value of the hauler and its contents at $279,000.
Harmon used to be the team manager for Cobb's Nationwide team and indicated Wednesday night in a series of tweets he's involved in litigation with the driver.
"I want it known that I have never stolen so much as a piece of bubble gum in my life," Harmon posted on Twitter. "I did not take JJC hauler, there is no video of me anywhere near her shop. Today she was the windshield & I was the bug, but when we get in FEDERAL court in a couple wks there's a boulder coming."
Harmon has run five of nine Nationwide Series races this year.
Cobb has run all four truck series races this year, and her best finish was 17th at Kansas. She said in a statement she's trying to recover the trailer and its contents in time for Friday night's race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Practice is Thursday.
"It is my sole concern to get the transporter back so that we can make Friday night's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway," Cobb said. "We are working with other teams right now to borrow the necessary items in the event our hauler and its contents are not returned. We are pleased with the diligent work that the Rowan County Sheriff's Department has shown in solving this crime."

Laura Mercier musings: Part 1
I got the eye duo in Cocoa Rose (£18), could I have picked more boring colours, quite possibly not? It contains a matte white pink and matte dark brown. I was hoping the lighter side would be like the morning dew shade I used to like, but this has a bit too much pink to use as an all over base and not enough colour to use as a lid shade. The texture is however smooth, quite pigmented and blends nicely. The darker colour is very muddy on me, not enough depth to use as a liner but looks very unflattering in the crease, exacerbated by the difficult to blend texture. I'm not sure why the textures of the two shades feel so different but this is a definite miss for me.
On a more positive note, I got a blusher in Orange blossom (£20), it's a really pretty shimmery peachy/gold pink, it's more sheer and shimmery on that I thought it would be but it is a nice flush of colour and lasts extremely well.
I got one of the new Satin finish lipsticks in Pink Cocoa (£18). The pigmentation of this browned rose is really good, it lasts quite well but is a bit drying. Unfortunately it looks really off on me, I think perhaps it has a bit of warmth to it, which clashes against my cool tones.
So overall somewhat disappointing, I also bought some of the base products including the new under eye perfector that I'll be reviewing shortly.
6 comments:
I think that lipstick looks like a really pretty colour. It looks a bit like MAC Cosmo which I like. How drying is it? A bit of lip balm dry or lip peeling dry?ReplyDelete
The eyeshadows sound like a disappointment. It's odd that the textures are so different. For once it sounds like you'll be saving me some money as I think this seems like LM might be one for me to miss ;)
Jane x
I have Orange Blossom as well. I love it as a finishing touch over a cream blusher (like Bobbi Brown's Cabo Coral). The combination stays on forever without any fading whatsoever. I've never had any luck with LM's eyeshadows, but I do love her cake eyeliners...I think they are actually better than the Chanel ones.ReplyDelete
The biggest hit for me however is her concealer (the blemish concealer that is). I just couldn't live without it...it's the only thing that manages to perfectly hide my horrible cheek redness (broken capillaries) to the point that I can actually go without foundation on more informal days....
Sorry you weren't thrilled with the products. I know the feeling, it's just so disappointing...
Nina x
Sorry to go a bit off topic but I wanted to say congratulations Nina on winning the giveaway!! How are you enjoying the lipgloss?ReplyDelete
Jane x
Hello Jane!ReplyDelete
I was indeed the lucky recipient of Replica's generosity! And a what a happy bunny it's made me...
The gloss is absolutely lovely. It's not sticky, yet it lasts for a surprisingly long amount of time, it wears very comfortably without drying out my lips or feathering, the shimmer is very elegant and flattering and a little goes a long way.
As for the colour, it's a gorgeous bronzed rose with shots of gold and, as it wears out, it turns even rosier on me, which I love. For reference I'm a medium, yellow-toned gal with lots of redness on my cheeks and pigmented lips.
Overall, it's a huge rave...and a huge thanks to our host!
PS I sent a couple of pics of my wearing the gloss to Replica and I'm glad to report she survived :-)))))
Hi Jane,ReplyDelete
Its not too bad with some lip balm but doesn't feel that comfortable on. The blusher is really nice though. So annoyied to have wasted £36 just like that!
Regarding the Hourglass, it looked really gorgeous on Nina and I will defintly have to get that colour soon.
Hello Nina,
I use to have the blemish concealer quite a while back when I had severe acne and did really like it,I've had a recent bad breakout so I'm glad you mention this as I think I'll buy one again as I had forgotton about it! Your skin looked flawless in the photo so if thats want you used it definitely works well for you :)
Nina, the lipgloss sounds gorgeous. I have two of the extreme sheen glosses and the texture is amazing. It's definitely going on my wishlist as the colour sounds beautiful.ReplyDelete
Jane x

You can't get lost in Brasov. It's a beautiful town in a valley surrounded by mountains with a huge B-R-A-S-OV sign a la Hollywood, on the closest hill. Unexpected sure, but you can see it from wherever you are in the town so it's a beacon home. It used to be S-T-A-L-I-N. They cut down trees on the mountain in the shape of the Dictator's name. That's gone now. Clearly.

Hong Kong Strikers Pitch Tents Outside Li Ka-shing's Headquarters
Dozens of Hong Kong workers have set up camp outside the headquarters of Li Ka-shing, the city's richest man, pledging not to leave until he personally helps resolve a weeks-long port strike.
More than 400 workers are now on strike in the city, protesting against labor conditions and demanding a 20% pay rise. On Wednesday night, they pitched tents outside of the headquarters of Mr. Li's company Cheung Kong (Holdings), which owns the largest stake in Hutchison Whampoa Hutchison, through its unit Hongkong International Terminals, runs many of the city's shipping berths.
On Thursday morning, nearly a dozen tents were scattered outside the gleaming glass façade of Cheung Kong Center, along with defaced photos of Mr. Li and hand-painted red banners, including one reading "The world's richest Chinese person exploits workers to get rich." Workers said dozens of protesters had slept there.
For weeks, Hong Kong residents have used the strike as an opportunity to vent their frustrations over the city's rising levels of inequality and against tycoons like Mr. Li, who dominate many of the city's businesses. Organizers said Thursday that they'd raised more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars (US$644,000) to support the strikers. Every few minutes, as passersby dropped bills into a donations box outside Cheung Kong Center, workers broke into a round of applause.
"I just want justice and fairness in Hong Kong," said Gilbert Law, an interior designer who donated HK$1,000. He said he had no personal connection to the shipping industry, but was appalled to hear about working conditions.
A 44-year-old dock worker who identified himself by his last name of Chan said he and his coworkers worked 24-hour shifts, catching naps when they could, sometimes for as many as 20 days in a month. He said he typically makes HK$1,315 for every 24-hour shift. In the mid-90s he said, he made closer to HK$1,500. "I used to respect Mr. Li, and think it was so great that he'd made all this money," said Mr. Chen. "Now my feelings are not the same."
Mr. Li's reach over Hong Kong extends to its supermarkets, pharmacies and housing complexes, as well as its ports. He also has substantial market share across the border in Shenzhen's ports, to which some of Hong Kong-bound containers have lately been diverted. "So even if he loses money here he makes it somewhere else," said Vicky Li, a student who was visiting the protesters to show her support. Earlier this year, Forbes valued Mr. Li's fortune at US$31 billion.
Support for the strikers has been vociferous online, as well. A handwritten letter addressed to Li Ka-shing that was posted to Facebook and described as having been written by the nine-year-old daughter of a dock worker named Lam Hiu-Tung attracted nearly 5,000 likes earlier this week. "[My dad] works so hard. He doesn't often eat with me, because every night he has to work," ran the letter, which was accompanied by a photo of the girl holding the letter for the camera. "Please give my dad..the ability to work under fair conditions to support his family, and please let him rest more so that he can spend time with me."
HIT has said the workers aren't direct employees but are instead employed by subcontractors, which set their own pay levels and schedules. This week, five subcontractors took out full-page ads in several Chinese-language newspapers saying that while wages have indeed shrunk at times in the last decade, they have risen by about 10% in the last two years.
On Wednesday, the city's housing and transport secretary said the strike was causing some shipments to be delayed for between one and eight days, and that the port's productivity level was at about 75%.
Support for the striking workers has spread overseas, with eight unionists from Australia—where Hutchison is also building container terminals—flying to Hong Kong this week to express solidarity. "We're challenging Mr. Li to come forward in the name of humanity and fix this mess up," said Joe Deakin, assistant branch secretary of the Maritime Union of Australia. Mr. Deakin said his union was reaching out to others around the world to try and coordinate a possible related global day of action.
To date, multiple talks arranged by the city's labor and welfare secretary have failed to reach a resolution. HIT said in a statement the company was urging its contractors to resolve the dispute. Encircling Cheung Kong Center with banners "wouldn't help resolve the problem, and has made the emotions surrounding the negotiations more complicated," HIT said.
Hutchison Whampoa didn't respond to a request for comment.

Thursday night's episode of "Glee" finally brought an end to quarterback-turned-singer Finn Hudson's story, as the show paid tribute to actor Cory Monteith, who died over the summer.
The episode drew "Glee's" highest ratings in a year and brought more than one fan to tears as the cast mourned the character of Finn and the real-life death of Monteith, who died from an overdose of heroin and alcohol at age 31. The episode, titled "The Quarterback," grew "Glee's" audience 68% over last week in total viewers, with 7.4 million people tuning in.
"American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks wrote on Twitter, "This is such a touching tribute on Glee. I am bawling."
Her tears were shared with "Modern Family" star Sarah Hyland, who wrote, "Cried the entire episode of tonight's Glee. Beautifully done."
And "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes was fully prepared to cry when she wrote, "Watching Glee wit my tissues in hand! I hope u all are tuning in & supporting."
"Super Fun Night" star Rebel Wilson wrote, "My heart went out to all the GLEE family watching the Farewell to Finn tonight x."
The show's cast was also watching and sharing their warm thoughts of Monteith.
Dot-Marie Jones, who plays Coach Beiste on the show wrote, "EVERYBODY ON TONIGHTS EPISODE WAS WONDERFUL! I AM SO PROUD TO BE A PART OF IT BECAUSE ITS ONE HELL OF A FAMILY, FOREVER BE GRATEFUL!"
And Kevin McHale, who plays wheelchair-bound Artie on the show, wrote, "Tonights Glee was made out of a lot of love & a lot of tears by our incredible crew, cast & creators for our friend Cory. We miss you Cory."

WASHINGTON - In the midst of talking black history with Grammy-winning singer Alicia Keys, Maya Angelou breaks out singing a hymn.
The acclaimed poet and author wants to show Keys what "lining out" sounds like. That's the call-and-response singing so popular in black churches in the South.
It's a teaching moment - and one of many during Angelou's third annual Black History Month radio program, "Telling Our Stories." The program is airing throughout February on more than 175 public stations nationwide.
Angelou says she's sharing black history with songs, poems, jokes and short stories woven throughout interviews with guests like Keys.
Also appearing on the program with Angelou are media mogul Oprah Winfrey, singer and actress Jennifer Hudson, diplomat Kofi Annan and actress and playwright Regina Taylor.

Town cracks down on abandoned buildings
Tarentum tears down seven crumbling homes a year
Like many southwestern Pennsylvania communities, Tarentum struggles with abandoned buildings that are unsafe and crumbling to the ground. But Tarentum is going after absentee property owners who allow buildings to fester.
One home on Fourth Avenue has an exterior wall that is bowing so severely that passersby worry it could collapse at any moment.
Stephany Irwin works across the street and said, "It's scary, it should not be here. The windows are all busted out, the doors are bolted on by wood. It's very unsafe. I would be nervous to even have my child, walking my child down the road."
Tarentum Codes Enforcement Officer Tim Dzugan explores every possible legal avenue to make property owners take care of crumbling structures.
"People buy them and they can't afford them. They can't afford the payments, so, they walk away. Then the bank takes them over and the bank doesn't want to take care of them. So, they just sit there," he said.
Sometimes Dzugan tries to broker a deal between the guilty property owner and a potential buyer for the property. Often the new buyer simply agrees to pay all the back taxes and offers the previous owner a dollar to buy the structure and raze it.
In addition, the Borough of Tarentum saves up to buy dilapidated and forgotten buildings and tear them down. It costs between $7,000 and $10,000. The borough can only afford to raze about seven buildings a year.
Dzugan said there are 92 abandoned buildings in Tarentum. About 30 of them need to be torn down "because the grass gets 5 foot high, then the roofs all start falling in. Then you get rats and drug people hanging out in the abandoned buildings."
The challenge for Dzugan is when banks take over a property an owner defaulted on, because it is difficult to send a citation to a bank on the other side of the country.
Still, Dzugan is determined.
"I'll get you," he said, "If it was up to me, I'd chase you down in California and make you come back and take care of them."
Irwin is eager to see the Fourth Avenue property come down.
"(In) Tarentum, we have a nice area and everybody works so hard around here. Seeing this, it kind of makes it look bad," she said.

|Contact dermatitis
Contact dermatitis refers to a range of reactions that result from skin contact with a foreign substance. It may appear as an itchy, red, swollen, or blistery rash after contact with an allergen or irritant. Contact dermatitis is commonly seen in occupational settings.
Most cases of contact dermatitis occur on the hands. Once you get the offending substance on your hands, it's easy to cause further irritation on other parts of the body that you touch.
|Contact dermatitis refers to a range of reactions that result from skin contact with a foreign substance. The reaction on the skin as seen above is one of several possible appearances of contact dermatitis.
Allergic vs. irritant contact dermatitis
About 20% of contact dermatitis cases result from allergic reactions -- the rest are caused by irritants, like chemicals in an industrial workplace (although some chemicals can be allergens too).
Allergic and irritant contact dermatitis can be difficult to distinguish, because the resulting rashes are very similar. The pattern and location of the rash on the skin help distinguish whether it was caused by an allergen or irritant. Irritant contact dermatitis usually appears on the hands within minutes after touching the offending irritant, and is usually more painful than itchy. With allergic contact dermatitis, an itchy rash usually appears within 24 - 48 hours on the exact part of the body that contacted the allergen, as with poison ivy. Some people may develop contact dermatitis allergy that doesn't cause problems until many repeated exposures.
Irritant contact dermatitis is often caused by soaps, detergents, and other cleaners (like bleach) as well as formalin, latex, and certain antimicrobial skin ointments.
Causes of allergic contact dermatitis include urushiol (a chemical in poison ivy, poison oak, and mango), nickel in hairpins, earrings, zippers, door handles, and ingredients in hair dyes, insecticides, fungicides, and rubber products. Most of these substances are not routinely included in allergy testing. They need to be tested using a patch test.
The reaction varies depending on which body part is affected. The most sensitive parts of the body are the eyelids, genitalia, and neck. The least sensitive are the palms, soles, and scalp.
Irritants can cause itching, pain, stinging, burning, redness, heat, swelling, and tenderness. Some potent irritants can cause reactions that resemble burns.
With allergic reactions, the most common symptom is severe itching. Blistering and redness may also occur.
Diagnosing contact dermatitis
To help determine what caused your rash, your doctor will ask what you were doing prior to noticing it. He or she will ask questions about your age and occupation, your recent hobbies and sports activities, your use of chemicals at home or work, and your use of cosmetics. The doctor will also ask about your family history of allergies, previous allergic reactions, history of skin conditions, and any medications you take. The doctor may also ask if there have been any recent changes in your household, such as new cleaning products or detergents.
If you suspect that your rash is due to an allergy, your doctor can confirm it by testing your skin with a small amount of the suspected allergen.
Usually, contact dermatitis goes away within 3 - 4 weeks after contact with the allergen. The inflamed skin can be treated with cold compresses, unscented oils or lotions, baths with oatmeal bath or bath oils, and calamine lotion to relieve the itching and burning that accompany dermatitis. For severe cases, your doctor may recommend corticosteroids to diminish the inflammation. The best treatment is to avoid contact with the substance causing the reaction.

I was looking at screenshots of Apple.com's former homepages (using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine) and decided to compile them into a slideshow. With the exception of Apple's homepage in 1997, it's pretty remarkable how little the core design has changed.
After 15 years, the layout of Apple.com is still the same: prominently feature the latest product, with 3-4 little boxes below that highlight other recent products and company news. The homepage has become more evident and intuitive each year. Bigger pictures, less copy, bolder text, fewer items to click… It's like a giant billboard. They stuck with a format that worked and continually refined it. [The two biggest changes: they moved the navigation bar to the top in 2000, then gave the entire site a facelift with the introduction of Leopard in 2007.]
It goes without saying that Apple's strength is design, but their homepage deserves credit for being great for so long. Ever since its early days, Apple.com has moved in the direction of being more friendly, focused, simple, and beautiful.

Meet Google's search anthropologist
On a hot August evening in late 2009, a Palo Alto entrepreneur working in her home office landed on Google's befuddling advanced search menu.
"Oh, I hate this," she said, before immediately clicking away.
It was far from a ringing endorsement of the Mountain View company's product design. But it wasn't exactly a surprise for Dan Russell, Google's search scientist who at that moment was staring over the woman's shoulder, taking notes and video.
Russell had noticed that about 85 percent of people acted the same way when they reached the page, and he'd set out to understand why by observing and talking to users. Call it search anthropology.
It's a little-known function within an online giant famously focused on data, employing the reams of bits and bytes that users throw off to tweak, test and improve its products. But about four years after forming, Google came to realize it needed human insights to infuse that information with context and meaning.
The company began conducting user research studies and hiring human-computer interactions experts, eventually snagging Russell from IBM in 2005. His main role is studying Web searchers in their natural environment, at home or work, picking up the human scent where the data trail goes cold.
"One of the things we can get from data is the behaviors," he said. "But in many cases, we don't know why the behaviors are the way they are."
For instance, just knowing that people were fleeing from advanced search didn't begin to tell the company how to fix it.
Confusing boxes
But the Palo Alto entrepreneur explained that the page's legal terms and bevy of search boxes, which all seemed to demand filling in, were confusing and off-putting. Russell heard similar responses from others.
When he showed a highlight reel of their visceral reactions to a roomful of Google engineers, it finally hit home that the company needed to simplify the user interface. After they did, the bounce rate - or the percentage of people who instantly clicked away - dropped almost 50 percent.
Russell is part of a small team at Google that focuses on the human side of the equation for search. In addition to regularly observing searchers in the wild, they conduct user surveys, pay people in cafes to try out new products, and invite people into Google to run them through exercises and eye-movement studies. The goal is to better understand how people interact with Google's products and why.
Russell's roots are in computer science. He earned his master's and doctorate in the field from the University of Rochester, then went to work at the famed Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, Apple and IBM, before landing at Google.
At Xerox PARC, he was focused on artificial intelligence. But after developing what he thought was a sophisticated tool for simplifying programming for high-end copiers, he was disappointed to find that nobody - even prominent AI researchers - could figure out how to use his creation.
It was an epiphanous moment. Russell realized that the most powerful technology in the world is next to useless if people don't understand how to use it. From then on, most of his work has focused on the science of user experiences.
"It was like Saul on the road to Damascus," he said. "A light came down and said, 'Kid, you're going to be doing this from now on.' "
In the United States, the use of what is known as applied anthropology or sometimes industrial ethnography dates back to at least the 1920s. Anthropologists and Harvard researchers conducted a now-famous series of experiments designed to increase worker productivity at Western Electric Co.'s Hawthorne Works in Chicago.
Applied anthropology isn't exactly a common practice in the business world today, though it tends to be more popular at technology companies. In addition to Google, Microsoft, Intel and IBM also apply these techniques, said Stephen Barley, co-director of the Center for Work, Technology and Organization at Stanford.
Many firms employ usability labs to observe users interacting with their products in a controlled setting. But they miss a critical layer of perspective if they don't watch how people use products in the real world, Barley said.
"Use is more than what happens at the interface level," he said. "It's what happens when it's embedded into a context and workflow."
In recent months, Google has overhauled the design of many of its major services - knowing full well that such an endeavor would annoy some users. In fact, people complain so routinely about changes that there's an industry phrase for it: "You moved my cheese!"
Root of the issue
The trick is distinguishing the hardwired aversion to change from legitimate complaints that the company is making things worse.
For most changes, traffic patterns tend to return to normal after a few weeks, after users figure out where their favorite features ended up.
But at least one change made around the end of last year seems to have had a lasting impact. Google peeled the "advanced search" button off the main page to make it clean and simple, qualities users always request. Usage numbers declined, however, and stayed down.
During a trip to the San Francisco Public Library this month, it was clear why. Russell spent about an hour observing and talking to Patrick Shea, a librarian working on the ground floor.
He asked about typical patron inquiries and the search tools Shea employs to help them. Then he ran him through some tests, asking how he'd use Google to find vague queries like: "A book about oranges by a Scottish author."
At one point when Shea was stumped, Russell suggested he try advanced search. But Shea couldn't find it. The company hadn't just moved his cheese, they'd hidden it.
Russell has heard from a number of other librarians who can't seem to find it anymore. But when asked, he said that doesn't necessarily mean Google is going to put it back.
Google has hundreds of millions of users, each with different needs, working styles and levels of search competence. Every change for one subset - like those who occasionally use advanced search - comes at a cost for others - like the vast majority of people who never use it and don't want it cluttering up the main page.
Striking the right balance for the greater good requires listening to the data - and, of course, to the users themselves.
"That particular interview didn't finish off the painting," Russell said. "But every interview helps fill in a little bit more of the canvas."
