Maybe you didn’t shop at Target, and maybe even the NSA shenanigans don’t freak you out all that much. But what if you learned that your refrigerator or television were spying on you — or, at least, facilitating the spying of others? It seems that all those smart gadgets have made some consumers vulnerable to a recent cyberattack.
Security provider Proofpoint, Inc. recently announced evidence of a cyberattack that exploited the ubiquitous “Internet of Things” (which happened to be the theme of this year’s CES) at some point between December 23, 2013 and January 6, 2014. They believe the global attack came from over 100,000 common household objects, such as networking routers, televisions, and at least one smart refrigerator and resulted in at least 750,000 phishing and spam emails. The malicious emails came three times a day in waves of 100,000, and over 25% of those emails were sent by devices other than computers.
Hackers and cyber-criminals can turn smart appliances and other connected devices into “thingbots” that will conduct whatever malicious activity floats the criminals’ boats. Identify theft is a particular concern, given that these devices can provide entry to most, if not all of the personal information someone would need to access accounts, passwords, and other personal information. In the recent attack, a single IP address generated fewer than 10 emails, which makes identifying and blocking such attacks much more difficult. Proofpoint isn’t sure whether the attacks were random or focused on specific targets, nor have they confirmed the identities of the victims or the extent or success of the breach.
Given that internet-connected devices already outnumber people (at least in America) and are expected to quadruple in number over the next few years — the International Data Corporation believes that by 2020, there will be over 30 billion connected devices on Earth. Smart devices pose an increasing security risk for their owners, especially because they’re generally far less protected (if they’re protected at all) from viruses or breaches than PCs.
I guess where there’s a vulnerability, there’s a market — someone will come up with software and firewalls to protect our smart devices. But at the same time, hackers and cyber-criminals will continue to get better at infiltrating our information through our devices. This doesn’t make me feel any better about Google’s foray into smart appliances, nor their development of smart contact lenses (more on this tomorrow). At some point in the future, we’ll probably feel nostalgic for the simple days when computers were the only targets of hackers. And I sure as hell don’t want someone hacking my bra!

CHICAGO (AP) — Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart was moving to temporarily strip as many as seven deputies of their police powers after the county’s public defender complained that deputies had apparently posted insulting and threatening comments online after a march in support of Black Lives Matter, his spokesman said Friday.
Spokesman Matt Walberg said the investigation to identify the deputies and then move to “de-deputize” those linked to the posts comes a day after Dart’s office launched an internal probe in response to a letter from Cook County Public Defender Amy Campanelli.
In her letter sent Thursday, Campanelli asked Dart and Inspector General Patrick Blanchard to discipline, or, if appropriate, fire the deputies behind the posts.
Campanelli also informed Dart, whose office runs the jail, and Blanchard that the posts had appeared online after about 200 people, including many public defenders, participated in a demonstration Monday at the county jail in Chicago.
A Facebook comment purportedly posted by a deputy assigned to the Leighton Criminal Court Building reads: “Good luck to them all when the courts open up!”
Campanelli also cited a post that reads: “Bring in the fire hoses and horses this is not a protest.”
She questioned how she or anyone else could have confidence that people in custody are receiving housing, food and being treated “equitably and humanely” by “the custodians of the jail.”
Demonstrations and unrest spread to Chicago and other cities around the U.S. following the May 25 killing in Minneapolis police custody of George Floyd. A white officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for several minutes, even after the handcuffed black man stopped moving and pleading for air.
“The very purpose of our protest, as was the purpose of all protests around the country, was to oppose racism and discrimination exhibited by law enforcement,” Campanelli wrote in the letter. “Now, posted on social media as a banner for all to see, members of law enforcement are expressing their intolerance for justice and even suggesting there will be consequences to my staff and my clients.”

Welcome to Catalogue
Every city in the world has its own transport system. But people aren’t just travelling within cities. They are traveling to and from cities and countries all over the world, and getting from A to B isn’t always a straightforward answer.
Chances are if you’ve found us here, you’ve made it your business to either provide transport for commuters or are looking for way to make it as easy for commuters to get around as possible. We’re here to connect data providers with developers, so that together we can find the most innovative mobility solutions for commuters in any location.
What is Catalogue all about?
Catalogue was formed in 2016 after a need was identified. Sure, there are other open source transport data services, but none that are global, open source, open governance and focused on any possible mobility means. And in today’s increasingly global communities, we saw the need for an open source data platform that transcends borders – just as transport does.
We are committed to providing an open source platform that helps developers, data producers and data enthusiasts all over the world record, store and share transport data all in one handy place. This includes raw and live data relating to public transport systems including buses, trams, trains and ferries, as well as air travel, taxi services, ride sharing services, bicycle hire, parkings or even co-working spaces.
It is our mission to align mobility data from all over the world so that developers can provide accurate and up-to-date information to travellers, wherever they are, wherever they are going and for any reason they need to move.
Why are we doing what we’re doing?
Ultimately, we believe that data should not be owned. We believe that data should be shared and used to its full potential and create global value for the society. Catalogue was created to provide a place for data producers and developers to share transport related data, and our number one priority is ensuring that this data is open source. We recommend that data owner share their data on Catalogue with the most open licences, to make users free to innovate in any way they choose.
We founded Catalogue with one clear goal in mind: foster a collaborative community of data producers, developers and enthusiasts and build the world’s largest global open source data platform for transport industries.
We strive to:
Provide the world’s most comprehensive global mobility open source data pool. It’s our mission to collate and aggregate existing data from authoritative sources, moving data into a public space so that everyone has access to share, develop, store and verify data. We aim to provide an open source data pool comprised of accurate and up-to-date information that can be accessed easily so this data is being used to its full potential.
Help people solve city, country and global mobility problems. Through this pool of data, we aim to help mobility service operators and developers build the mobility solutions of the future. Whilst this requires a massive collaborative effort from various contributors, we do our part by providing an easy-to-use and innovative platform, and by collecting, managing, storing and verifying data from multiple sources.
Offer the best and easiest way for people to access data. We are committed to making continual improvements to Catalogue to ensure that it is always operating at an optimal level and providing the best user experience whether you’re sharing data, verifying data or using data.
Nurture a community where every voice is heard. At the end of the day, Catalogue is a community of like-minded people and we rely on the input of contributors to keep our wheels turning. We’re all here for the same reason – to provide the best possible transport solutions to commuters around the world. We welcome input and feedback on ways to make the organization and quality of our data even better.

Roseville officer charged in steroid probe
By Kevin Bunch firstname.lastname@example.org
A Roseville police officer was arrested by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Sept. 16 as part of a probe into steroid and performance-enhancing drug abuse.
Officer Gregory Moore was arraigned in 40th District Court in St. Clair Shores Sept. 24 on two counts of felony drug possession and one count of maintaining a drug house.
“Each of those are four-year felonies,” Roseville Police Chief James Berlin said.
According to a press release from the Roseville Police Department, Moore has been placed on unpaid administrative leave pending the results of the DEA criminal investigation and an internal investigation, both of which are ongoing. Berlin said he did not know how long the DEA investigation has been going on.
Rich Isaacson, Detroit DEA public information officer, said that since it's an ongoing investigation, he can only confirm that the DEA had an active role in the investigation.
Moore’s attorney, Martha Champine, declined to issue a comment Sept. 26. Moore, a 10-year Police Department veteran, has a preliminary exam at 8:15 a.m. Oct. 4.

“Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.” –Eleanor Roosevelt
Anyone who has ever made it through their childhood relatively unscathed is well aware of the bullying phenomenon. All of us, at one time or another, have found ourselves with the opportunity of standing up to the school yard bully, and how we respond to that opportunity can have a lasting impact on our self worth. Years after a bullying incident, the bullied child will look back on that episode with the yardstick of their response. For instance, standing up to that school yard persecutor can help fortify the image of self respect that is so critical in the formation of a strong individual, while the memories of the bully’s cruel jibes, and mean taunts, can impact the way the adult functions emotionally years after an event. It is only through hindsight that the motives and actions of the bully are questioned, and after seeing what factors help make a bully, that insight will help take the power away from the school yard, or office miscreant.
The Psychology of Bullying
Ever since the first caveman realized he could excite a response from a smaller caveman for his own personal amusement, the act of bullying has been a force that has been had to be reckoned with. Not only have bullies and their victims existed since the beginnings of human interaction, with advances in technology, the ability to project that anti-social behavior, across thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, means that no one is immune from the capricious effects of bullying. Indeed, the advent of the internet has ushered in an entirely new vehicle for bullying: the internet.
Regardless of the medium however, the root causes of bullying lie deep in the psyche of the bully, and whether it’s taunts thrown across the playground, mean-spirited jibes in the conference room, or mean thoughts slipped into a private message on the internet, the motivations and actions of all bullies share certain commonalities.
Bullies tend to act in a certain ways, and draw upon specific stimuli that reinforce their tendencies towards abhorrent behavior. Bullies behave in a dominate manner, and lash out at others for the bad things that are happening in their lives. While the instinct to bully is a learned behavior, genetics also plays a role in the nature vs. nurture argument to explain the bullying phenomenon.
As an example, violent and aggressive urges may be more prevalent among certain people than others, but not all of those people will necessarily succumb to those urges. Those who don’t act out in that manner have found healthy and constructive avenues in which to vent their hostility in positive ways.
Finally, many bullies are attention seekers, and revel in the attention, even though it is negative attention, that attaches itself to their behavior. Inmuch the same way that the ignored child will act out on the assumption that negative attention is better than no attention, the bully will seek the spotlight with their behavior.
Bullying can take on many forms and casts, but regardless of how it materializes; the effects can be devastating on the victim. While extreme cases of bullying have resulted in the ultimate tragedy of suicide, even less extreme instances can have a lasting effect on the victim, which might require years of coping skills to ameliorate the devastating impact that bullying can have on a person.
Bullying can assume many guises, but generally can be broken down into four types of categories: physical, verbal, intimidation, and cyber bullying.
Physical Bullying—any type of physical force, which is used with the design to coerce an action from the victim is bullying. Whether the bully beats his victim up, or trips them as they make their way down the hallway to their next class, physical bullying is the same, and accounts for 30% of all school bullying.
Verbal Bullying—comprising 46% of all reported bullying, verbal clashes can do as much damage, if not worse, than a physical attack. Typically, this form of bullying takes on the form of teasing, name calling, making fun of others, and threats of escalation into violence. Conversely, the silent treatment, practiced primarily among girls, socially isolates the victim from all their other peers, and drives the target into depression.
Intimidation—termed extortion when practiced by adults, intimidation is a form of bullying designed to get something from the victim. Whether it is the victim’s proverbial lunch money, or a concession to do the bully’s homework, intimidation uses threats of violence, or exposure unless the bully’s demands are met.
Cyber bullies—while an altercation on the school yard can be met with resolute force, an anonymous email seething with hate is less easy to respond to in a healthy manner. It is for this reason that cyber-bullying is so insidious. That fact, coupled to the ubiquitous nature of social media, makes it hard for the victim of a cyber-bully attack to not slip into feelings of isolation and depression.
As mentioned, regardless of the medium however, bullying has risen to epidemic proportions in recent years, and understanding what makes a bully be a bully is the first step in arming yourself against their depredations.
To simply dismiss the phenomenon of bullying with the thought that the world is comprised of some mean-spirited people, fails to arrive at an understanding of what causes that abhorrent behavior in the first place. Since the goal is to eradicate bullying, placing the correct cause to the action is necessary prior to targeting ways of ameliorating the practice. Generally speaking, five factors may well influence whether or not someone decides to resort to bullying to attain their life goals: Cultural, institutional, social, family, and personal history.
- Cultural influences have the tendency to desensitize people to violence. Whether it is glorifying the World Wrestling Federation in the name of entertainment, or the society places a heavy value on strength, power and winning, it is a small step to applying those principles to their daily interactions.
- The institutions that make up our society can play a large role in the development of a bully. For instance, unless those institutions take a firm stance against bullying, the practice will be allowed to fester and grow. This fact is true whether the bullying is taking place in the home, school, or workplace. It is this recognition that has led to the formation of zero-tolerance policies in schools across the nation as they attempt to stem the tide of bullying.
- We live in a society that rewards bad behavior with tabloid cover stories and lucrative book deals. The bully in the back row in class has made the connection that if they act out that they will get the attention they so obviously crave. Jealousy, envy, and a lack of interpersonal communication skills might also prompt the nascent bully to act out.
- Families that lack the ability to communicate openly, and eschew a warm and loving environment might well be a breeding ground for future bullies. Additionally, as bullying is a learned habit, many of those habits are learned behind closed doors hidden from societies censure. As such, the bully emerges from that environment with a skewed sense of appropriate behavior.
- Irrevocably tied to the bully’s behavior is the personal history of the individual. Children who suffer social rejection are for more likely to “pay it forward” in terms of lashing out at others who they perceive as weaker, and more vulnerable to attack. Similarly, students who fail academically in the classroom are also more likely to compensate through bullying tactics on the playground.
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” –Eleanor Roosevelt
When one puts a face to the causes of bullying, society as a whole is better equipped to deal with the phenomenon. Early education is the key to successfully ending bullying. As such, schools are on the frontlines in this battle with elementary school curriculums that focus on social problem-solving skills that can lead to healthier ways to resolve disputes and allow your voices to be heard. No one wants to raise a bully, nor does anyone want their child victimized by a bully. Only through concerted action, and an understanding of the root causes that leads to bullying, can we begin to address this growing national tragedy.

The makers of Nandamuri Balakrishna's NTR biopic, which is released in two parts like Kathanayakudu and Mahanayakudu, have delayed the launch of its second single named Rajashri by a couple of days.
NTR biopic is one of the most-awaited Telugu movies and the fans of Nandamuri family have been eagerly waiting to watch it in theatres. The makers released its first song on the internet on November 30 and it has received a very good response. The producer announced the release of its second single Rajashri this evening.
PRO BA Raju tweeted this morning, "Second Single #Rajarshi #రాజర్షి song from #NTRBiopic will be out today at 4:21 pm An @mmkeeravaani musical #NTRBiopic #NandamuriBalakrishna @DirKrish @NBKFilms_ @RanaDaggubati @VaaraahiCC @vishinduri @gnanashekarvs @isumanth @LahariMusic #NTRKathanayakudu #NTRMahanayakudu."
Hours later, the makers revealed that its release has been delayed, but they did not reveal the reason. NBK Films tweeted, "Change in date and time of the second Single #Rajarshi song from #NTRBiopic releasing on Dec 12th at 10:31 AM An @mmkeeravaani musical Audio on @LahariMusic #NTR #NandamuriBalakrishna @DirKrish @gnanashekarvs @sahisuresh #NTRKathanayakudu #NTRMahanayakudu"
NTR Biopic starring Nandamuri Balakrishna is progressing at brisk pace and is on the verge of completion. According to the latest update, the makers are going to release the second single Rajashri from the film soon. The makers have confirmed this news by releasing a poster.
NTR biopic is directed by National award winning director Krish and produced by Sai Korrapati and Vishnu Induri in association with Nandamuri Balakrishna. Its two parts Kathanayakudu and Mahanayakudu will feature 11 songs together and MM Keeravani of Baahubali fame has composed music for these soundtracks.
Kailash Kher, who has sang the first single, is all thrilled to work with MM Keeravani. He tweeted recently, "It is always a pleasure to record a song with the genius @mmkeeravaani garu. After iconic Bahubali another legendary song. My best wishes to the entire team of @NTRBIOPIC #NTRBiopic @DirKrish #sreenidhitirumala #Kathanayaka #NandamuriBalakrishna"


I am writing up a blog about Mechanical Keyboards before closing several Input.Club tabs and forgetting this great resource.
A general overview begins with learning the differences between linear switches, tactile switches, and tactile-clicky switches. Each switch type differs in construction through an extra piece being included in tactile-clicky switches, or the contact surface having a bump/angle in the case of tactile switches.
I prefer blue tactile-clicky switches which use a two part slider to produce a click sound upon depression of the key. Cherry MX Blue switches are the industry standard brand and switch, though the interest in mechanical switches has brought several competitor brands and switches.
Input Club has created graphs with measured data over many samples. This research has prompted their use of the Kaihua Blue in their new open source K-Type keyboard. The graphs and research also makes a fan of blue (tactile-clicky) switches weary of the Gateron Blue switches.

The challenge of this project was the super high resolution of the application, which is 5440×1536. We had to develop and maintain the application's framerate to be above 30fps with an unlimited number of users in front of the installation.


Town Planning Director Roger Waldon announced today that he will retire effective June 1. Waldon will begin a new career as a private planning consultant.
Ã¢â‚¬Å“No one can match Roger's combination of intellect, creativity, and enormous work production,Ã¢â‚¬Â said Town Manager Cal Horton. Ã¢â‚¬Å“He is both a model civil servant and a model community volunteer.Ã¢â‚¬Â
Town Manager Horton will make a decision about interim leadership for the Planning Department within a few weeks.
I am a student doing research on the role of community oriented local blogging sites in community involvement and building a sense of community that exists outside of the internet. I am looking for a few volunteers to take a short email interview. If you are interested in helping me out please send me a private email to techamp at email.unc.edu .
One of the more unusual ideas to hit Chapel Hill of late was the suggestion, adopted last year, that the town seek authority to purchase open space outside its jurisdiction. On the face of it, this was nonsensical. As Kevin Foy put it last September, "Citizens of Chapel Hill are citizens of Orange County, and Orange County buys land throughout the county. I don't think we have an interest in duplicating the efforts of the county."
Every morning I ride my bike through downtown Carrboro along Main Street and West Rosemary until I get to work just before the intersection at Church Street. This particular stretch of road contains some strange juxtapositions of land use (and value, I assume) as well as a number of significant construction projects.
Great article in this week's Indy by Bob Burtman. Burtman analyzes the problems passing legislation to authorize impact fees and other mechanisms to compensate the public for the costs of accommodating growth.
The main stumbling blocks, as you might guess, are the homebuilders and realtors PACS, among the most effective promoters of self-interest in the state.


A live casino is a game that has recently revolutionized the gambling world. They haven’t been around for very long but they are already leaving behind other types of online gambling far behind in terms of popularity.
How are things done?
In this type of casinos humans are involved instead of programs. A human croupier runs the game in real time and it’s visible to the players by a video link. The players are able to make the betting choices using their computer console and are also able to chat with the croupier using the live chat option available.
What’s happening technically?
The outcomes of the game are translated to data which is utilized by software using the OCR technology. These way real life actions are able to determine the results of the game effectively without using any automated computerized processors.
Employer types involved in the game
This type of casinos employs several cameramen, croupiers to take part in different games and technical professionals to repair any technical mishaps. An adjudicator is available to solve disputes between croupiers and players. The environment for the game includes a live studio, software room and an analyst’s room. Some has one or few gaming tables in each room. They also have a 24/7 customer service team working to support and assist players.
Cost of operation
So you can see that from the above details that a higher amount of cost is needed to operate such game. And the investment on technology for the game is also very high. Some of these casinos are bought to public using TV channels or websites; where the bets are placed by players using TV remote controls or by computers respectively. So, in order to keep these casinos profitable, the owners are forced to decrease the number and variety of games on offer.

This week, Congressman Travis Childers (MS-01) joined 56 of his colleagues in introducing a resolution (H.Res.1670) opposing plans to raise the retirement age, noting that any increase in age would lead to an unfair decrease in Social Security benefits.
"During tough economic times, Social Security is more important than ever. That's why I've been proud to protect our seniors' hard-earned savings by fighting plans to both raise the retirement age and privatize Social Security," said Childers. "It's our nation's promise to seniors that we will provide them with economic security and stability after a lifetime of work and contributions to our society. Raising the retirement age would force hundreds of thousands of hard-working Mississippians to forfeit the benefits they deserve."
Social Security benefits have already been cut by gradually increasing the full retirement age every two months from 65 for individuals born before 1937 to 67 for individuals born after 1960. Raising the full retirement age above 67 for future retirees would reduce their benefits by 6-7% for each year the age is increased. Social Security benefits are about $14,000 a year for the average retiree, and the median income for senior households is a mere $24,000. About one-third of retirees have little other than Social Security benefits to live on.
The resolution is supported by a number of organizations including the Alliance for Retired Americans, the League of Rural Voters, The Arc, United Cerebral Palsy, the National Council of Women's Organizations, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers.

Stranded in the Philippines is based on the memoirs of Professor Henry Roy Bell and his wife Edna. After graduation from Emporia College in Kansas, they had gone to the Philippines in 1921 to teach at Silliman, a missionary school founded by Presbyterians in 1901. The Bell family was stranded in the Philippines after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This is their story from then until they were evacuated by a submarine on February 6, 1944. When the Japanese occupied their island of Negros, Prof. Bell first took his family into the hills to avoid Japanese soldiers on the coast.
But in time, some of Bell's recent students climbed to the Bell family's retreat and persuaded Bell to support them in their harassment of Japanese soldiers--but only in food. Yet in time, the young men acquired enough arms on their own to clash with the nearby enemy garrison. They inflicted heavy losses and fatally wounded the garrison commander. By steps, he became fully involved with the resistance. He became a major in the island-wide guerrilla force which he helped organize an intelligence network for MacArthur's headquarters. Despite the organizing success, the Bell's were facing certain capture. With the help from the now well-organized guerrilla forces, the family crossed the island for evacuation by the huge cargo submarine Narwhal when it delivered arms and ammunition for the guerrillas the night of the rendezvous.
Combining oral and visual history, this description of the Crimean War is compiled with the use of extracts from a considerable number of eye-witness accounts in the form of letters and diaries of soldiers, sailors, doctors, nurses, artists and reporters. They include views from all sides of the conflict - not only British, but French, Russian and Turkish. The war was the first to be photographed (by Roger Fenton and his colleagues), and the first to which professional war artists were assigned, and the book is extensively illustrated with images created by those photographers and artists.

The First Transcontinental Railroad (known originally as the "Pacific Railroad" and later as the "Overland Route") was a railroad line built in the United States of America between 1863 and 1869 by the Central Pacific Railroad of California and the Union Pacific Railroad that connected its statutory Eastern terminus at Council Bluffs, Iowa/Omaha, Nebraska (via Ogden, Utah, and Sacramento, California) with the Pacific Ocean at Oakland, California on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay opposite San Francisco. By linking with the existing railway network of the Eastern United States, the road thus connected the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States by rail for the first time. The construction and operation of the line was authorized by the Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862 and 1864 during the American Civil War. Congress supported it with 30-year U.S. government bonds and extensive land grants of government-owned land. Completion of the railroad was the culmination of a decades-long movement to build such a line. It was one of the crowning achievements in the crossing of plains and high mountains westward by the Union Pacific and eastward by the Central Pacific. Opened for through traffic on May 10, 1869, with the driving of the "Last Spike" at Promontory Summit, Utah, the road established a mechanized transcontinental transportation network that revolutionized the population and economy of the American West. The Pacific Railroad constituted one of the most significant and ambitious American technological feats of the 19th century following in the footsteps of the building of the Erie Canal in the 1820s and the crossing of the Isthmus of Panama by the Panama Railroad in 1855 and this book is the pictorial story of this amazing feat and the individuals and driving forces behind it.

welcome to bbc news — i'm david eades. our top stories: england's women footballers win their first ever major tournament — they beat germany 2—1 in the european championship final at wembley. chanting. cheering. it's the first major football title for any english national side, for nearly 60 years. it's like a moment in history. like, hopefully it's goign to bring massive change for girls and women in sport. absolutely brilliant. cannot believe it.
2—1, england, get in! in other news — us house speaker nancy pelosi prepares for a tour of asia amid strong warnings from beijing not to visit taiwan. hailing frequencies open, sir. and the american actress, nichelle nichols, best known for her ground—breaking role as lieutenant uhura in the original star trek, has died, age 89. england have won the european women's football championship — beating germany 2—1 at wembley. the lionesses as they are known had never won a major trophy before and this is the first senior football honour for england since the men's world cup victory in 1966. a crowd of almost 90,000 people were at the stadium,
with millions more following the game on television and radio. mark lobel reports. a euphoric moment for english sport with a pitch—perfect performance from the lionesses, bringing football in front of a record crowd of over 87,000 at wembley and many more watching on around the country and world. let's hear it for england! cheering. i said to harriet in the ground, she's got to do all she can to try and rememberthis because i said, "the last time england won a tournament was when nanny was born," which was a long time ago. best day of our lives, like, seriously. - we've just watched - england win the euros, like, that might not ever happen again. | best day ever. ever. we've got an amazing team and we're going to win- the world cup. amazing, the women were awesome, great football, great end—to—end entertainment, and we won. so, yes, come on, england! i don't want to use
a comparison because i don't want to compare it to men's football but the reality is, we got the job done, and the attendance throughout the stadium and support in england has been great and it can only be better for grassroots football. it was a foul—filled first half as 8—time european champions germany looked to stop england's sudden momentum, all the tougher as they were without their best player, injured before kick—off. with an hour gone, it was an audacious chip by manchester united's ella toone, an absolute belter that broke the deadlock, sending fans in central london wild. but less than 20 minutes later, germany slotted it home, taking it to extra time. england needed to regroup. then came super sub chloe kelly, at first missing england needed to regroup. then came super sub chloe kelly, at first missing england needed to regroup. then blasting in herfirst international goal and the one that landed it for england. her celebration earned her
a booking, no doubt worth it as it looks set to become one of the most iconic images of modern women's sport, encompassing this epic win months after recovering from an acute knee injury. chanting. after many years of hurt, the relief was palpable. all tournament, we've had so much support from our friends, and it's really incredible and i think we did an incrediblejob, so proud of the team, players, team but staff and support from the fa, i think we need a couple of days to realise what we have done. the question now is will it move this and other women's sports on. will they get the recognition so many say they need and now truly deserve? mark lobel, bbc news.
well thousands of fans gathered around tv screens in bars, restaurants, halls and squares right across the country to watch the match and soak up the drama. jon donnison reports. in south london, the party had started even before the match began. 800 people packed in and pumped up in front of the big screen in croydon. i'm so excited, i think the girls have been really brilliant this year so really looking forward to the game. i think we're definitely going to win, really excited, and i hope we win 3—0. but it was a cagey first half witnessed by fans who gathered in sheffield. up in newcastle, phil nedley the former coach of striker beth mead was watching and wincing. despite a few close calls, though, the first half ended with fans wanting england to up their game. i think they're playing very well. we started off very, very good, we just need to try and get the goals in now.
i think the manager at halftime is going to give them a bit of a talking to, and i think we're going to see a calmer team come out after halftime and we're going to see some goals straightaway. and that's exactly what they got. cheering. elation in croydon as ella toone�*s divine chip opened the scoring. but then deflation after the germans pulled one back and then pandemonium in sheffield for chloe kelly's extra—time winner. cheering. well, that's it. england campaign is over and it's the women who brought it home. just look and listen to
what that means for the fans. this is the best flag ever and we're so glad we made it. it's a moment in history, like, hopefully this will bring massive change for girls growing up and women in sport. absolutely brilliant. cannot believe it. 2—1 we predicted, get in! this party could go on for some time. jon donnison, bbc news in croydon. mark lobel is here and as well as fans reaction, plenty from more well known figures. how can we put it, the pride of these lionesses knows no bounds. the queen who was present in 1966, the last time england won a major football tournament, and that she handed over the trophy, sent a special message to the team which we can show you: and a member of
the world cup winning team, geoff hurst, said he was unbelievably proud, i thought that was a very touching tribute. also the queen's grandson, the duke of cambridge, president of the fa, prince william said this is history in the making and the nation couldn't be prouder and he couldn't have looked prouder when he was handing out those medals himself today at wembley. if i show you doris johnson, he tweeted a picture of himself, the prime minister watching this with his children. —— borisjohnson. he says football has come home and doled out praise for the manager and captain, saying foot or pictures across the country will be filled —— filled as never before by girls and women inspired by your triumph. nice words from england football the hurricane talking about the unreal scenes at wembley. well there should be some more unreal scenes. ——
harry kane. the party goes on at trafalgar square. there will be a victory parade four to 7000 fans invited to join the england team to see them in a q and a, hold the trophy and relive some of the moments and for everybody else, they will be able to watch it on the bbc is that victory parade on such a significant moment continues. still not quite enough to get a bank holiday out of it. mark, thank you very much indeed. some important points there about what this means for the future of women's foot hole in the uk. -- future of women's foot hole in the uk. —— football. earlier i asked tracy noonan, goalkeeper for the us women's national football team that won the world cup in 1999, for her take on the final. tremendous game. i loved watching the game, and the action and i was definitely excited to see england hold off at the end. your national team has gone from strength to strength over
the course of the last 20, 30 years even now actually. how does england, for example, make the most of a moment like this because we talk a lot about boosting grassroots sport and obviously the excitement that young girls are going to see from a win like this, do you need a lot of infrastructure for this to work? a lot of financial support too? i mean, to be honest, england is reaping the rewards of what they have been already kind of put into place, when you talk about the infrastructure from the clubs and hopefully, i don't know exactly what is going on with the youth level but when you're looking at the pro level, they have finally decided to support the women on the pro scale and that is paying huge dividends on the national team scale and so hopefully those places, those pieces are being put in place underneath the pro clubs because certainly their investment at the pro club level is paying off.
this is the point, we have 90,000 turning up at wembley for a final, which is a huge attendance but at club level, it's a long process, isn't it, it will take a long time to get really good gates week in and week out? yes, but i think that excites me, because it's not just this game, you're looking at the champions league final this year, you're looking at the games in spain this year that are breaking records, in mexico this year, breaking records, breaking records left and right as far as media coverage. what it shows is that when you invest in the women's game, it pays huge dividends. there is a real business model there and hopefully people are seeing that, and more people are willing to invest in it. we haven't won a world cup, men or women since 1966, as we like to tell ourselves every second week of the year, it seems, but the euros, how big are they?
you could look at them beyond europe, you are a world cup winner, how big is winning the euros in terms of the international game? it's major. the european clubs, the european countries are some of the biggest contenders in the world cup time and time again, germany, spain, netherlands, france. you name it, spain is now in the mix, so many teams in the mix out of your consistently in the world cup, so for them to come away with this when and a very definitive tournament from top to bottom, certainly shows that they are a contender but more importantly, hopefully for them it gives them the belief they can perform on a big scale and now they have won a major event, that is definitely going to propel them forward with their confidence. i wonder what you think about sarina wiegman,
as well, who has only ever won a match in the european championshiops, having taken the netherlands to victory and now england. how important would it be for the team to hold onto such an extraordinary and quite talismanic coach? very, very important, without a doubt. she has been a key cog in the piece, for them, for their chemistry, their tactical performance, everything from top to bottom in their development asa team. clearly she has done it with the netherlands, she's done it here with england and she is very important piece of the puzzle for them. us squad member tracy noonan there. let's get some of the day's other news. sections of the huge grain silos in the lebanese port of beirut, which were badly damaged in the deadly 2020 explosion, have collapsed after a fire. videos show the northern block coming down in a massive cloud of dust. the fires are believed to have been caused by fermenting grain igniting in the summer heat.
at least 26 people are now known to have died in severe flooding in the us state of kentucky. storms have pounded the east of the state and the governor said he expected the number of fatalities to rise. more heavy rain is expected on tuesday. thousands of people in northern california have been evacuated as fast—moving wildfires destroyed homes. the mckinney fire near the border with oregon has already scorched tens of thousands of acres and fire officials have said none of it has been contained. no injuries have been reported so far. to asia now, as us house speaker nancy pelosi we know this much — her itinerary will include stops in singapore, malaysia, japan and south korea, but there is no mention of a stopover in taiwan which has, over the past week, been a huge source of tension for the united states and china.
alexander huang, professor at tamkang university in the taipei region of taiwan. to my knowledge, that it was the original intention that speaker pelosi will visit taipei. but, you know, in the past week or so, there was no direct communication, no further, you know, messaging coming out from washington, so we don't know until about — until yesterday that — when the speaker's office released the official travel plan and taiwan is not included. of course, it shows a sign of ease, but i believe that both beijing and taipei are still watching closely and get everything prepared, should there be any chance that the speaker's plan would have a sudden decision or travel plan change.
the chinese had said they will react fiercely, forcefully. 0ur calculation is that it could be in diplomatic front as well as military front. so far, their military exercises and the known drills are far away from taiwan and were a smaller scale. we believe that if we can consult our past experience, there will be incursions with large sorties of various types of people's liberation army air force planes, and we probably would expect that they will have — be the incursion of the median line which will put taiwan on high alert.
stay with us on bbc news, still to come: a look at the legacy of the former star trek star, nichelle nichols, best known for playing lieutenant uhura — who has died age 89. the question was whether we wanted to save our people and japanese as well and win the war, or whether we want to take a chance on being able to win the war by killing all our young men. the invasion began at two o'clock this morning. mr bush, like most other people, was clearly- caught by surprise. we call for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all the iraqi forces. 100 years old and still full of vigor, vitality and enjoyment of life. no other king or queen in british history has lived so long, and the queen mother is said to be quietly very pleased indeed that she's achieved this landmark anniversary.
this is a pivotal moment for the church as an international movement. the question now is whether the american vote will lead to a split in the anglican community. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: england's women footballers make history, beating germany 2—1 in the european championship final at wembley. us house speaker nancy pelosi prepares for a tour of asia amid intense speculation over whether she'll anger china by visiting taiwan. one of the ukraine's most prominent businessmen, whose company is responsible for much of the infrastructure for its grain exports, has been killed in a russian missile strike. an adviser to president zelensky said he believed 0leksiy vadatursky was deliberately targeted when his home was hit in
the southern city of mykolaiv. it's a city which lies on the main route to the black sea port of 0desa, and mykolaiv has been bombarded frequently by russia, but saturday night's strikes were sustained and intense. 0ur correspondent andrew harding saw it happen. the end of a punishing night in mykolaiv. the heaviest bombardment yet for this key frontline city. a few missiles appeared to be hitting deliberate targets but mostly, this was the usual random russian blitz. cluster bombs and cruise missiles in residential neighbourhoods. mykolaiv�*s hospitals filling up. the city's defenders are standing firm. i think everybody get used to the war.
we are sad about our victims and the injured people but we are full of will to win and to fight. and that fight is escalating. ukraine has begun attacking these strategic bridges to trap russian forces and pave the way for a counteroffensive towards the crimean peninsula. but for now, many civilians in mykolaiv are still staying put. queueing stoically for drinking water. and somehow, living with unbearable risk. queueing stoically for drinking water and somehow, living how do you get used to this? as shocking as these scenes are, the fact is they've become essentially a daily routine here in mykolaiv. and every night, thousands of people go to sleep wondering whether this time, the rockets, missiles, the cluster bombs will hit their building. last night, two rockets landed outside the yakovenko's apartment. an air raid siren saved their lives, prodding them to move away from the windows.
but 0lga is struggling. "how can we survive this?," she wonders. "we can't afford to move somewhere safe". instead, they patch things up and brace themselves for another unpredictable night. andrew harding, bbc news, mykolaiv. kosovo has pushed back a deadline that would have required people living in majority ethnic—serb areas to swap their serbian—issued vehicle licence plates for plates by its national authorities. the requirement has become a source of serious tension between the two balkan states. on sunday, ethnic serbs parked heavy vehicles forming makeshift roadblocks on the routes leading to one of the main border crossings. serbian president aleksandar vucic said he was working to de—escalate the situation. the new kosovan restrictions will now come into force in a month's time, after the us embassy intervened.
to the uk now, where it's been revealed that prince charles accepted a payment of £1 million from the family of 0sama bin laden, according to a report in the sunday times. the prince of wales accepted the money from two of the infamous al-qaeda leader's half—brothers in 2013, two years after he was killed. 0ur royal correspondent jonny dymond has more. it is not a good look for the heir of the throne, there's no doubt about that. the palace says this was a decade ago, all the necessary checks were made, you don't disown an entire family because of the actions of one son. and it disputes a lot of the detail in the newspaper stories today, but it does not dispute the donation. and when i asked a source at the palace if he thought that donation would've been made had they known it would be made public, there was a very long silence. there's been a drip, drip, drip of revelations about how the prince's charities have raised funds in the past and it is a very unhappy backdrop to his work.
the american actress nichelle nichols, best known for playing lieutenant uhura in the original 1960s series of star trek, has died at the age of 89. her role was trailblazing. she was one of the first black actresses on american tv to play an authority figure. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba looks back at her career. lieutenant uhura was the starship enterprise's communications officer. confident, charismatic, calm under pressure. ship to ship. hailing frequencies open, sir. hailing frequencies open. hailing frequencies open, sir. conscious, too, of some of the limitations of the role. mr spock, sometimes i think if i hear that word "frequency" once more, i'll cry. nichelle nichols�* background was in musical theatre — a talent the show occasionally exploited. # 0h, on the starship enterprise... her character on star trek was ground—breaking in many ways.
the show broadcast one of television's first interracial kisses. mr spock, i haven't done anything like this in years. but perhaps more significant was seeing notjust a woman, but a black woman, playing such a prominent role. i can think of no—one better equipped to handle it, miss uhura. indeed, when she was considering leaving the show, she was persuaded to stay... i'm afraid i changed my mind. ..after being introduced to martin luther king. "how can you leave? "there is a door open here that you cannot allow to close "because you have the first non—stereotypical role "in television, and the world is looking." hi, i'm nichelle nichols, but i still feel a little bit like lieutenant uhura on the starship enterprise. even after star trek, she continued to inspire subsequent generations,

TEHRAN- Mohammad Eslami, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), said on Monday that Iran is willing to export radiopharmaceuticals to Turkey.
Eslami made the remarks in a meeting with Hicabi Kirlangic, the Turkish ambassador to Iran.
The AEOI chief indicated that collaboration in export of Iranian radiopharmaceuticals to Turkey will resume in light of the two nations’ prior experiences.
Praising the long-standing ties between Iran and Turkey, Eslami noted that the geographical proximity of the two nations has molded their interactions to be friendly and understanding.
“We have been able to maintain friendly relations with vigilance and mutual cooperation,” he added.
The top nuclear official also pointed to Iran’s experience in building and maintaining nuclear power plants, saying Tehran is now ready to train nuclear experts and transfer the expertise of the AEOI subsidiaries in terms of operating, maintaining, and repairing power facilities to the Turkish side.
Kirlangic, for his part, pointed to the two neighboring states’ historical ties and cultural affinities, saying that Turkiye has a transparent position on the use of peaceful nuclear energy and Ankara supports the right of different countries, including Iran, to develop nuclear energy for civilian uses.
In remarks earlier this month, Eslami indicated that Iran will quickly become a center for the manufacturing and export of radiopharmaceuticals.
The manufacturing capacity in this scientific field might be boosted by five to seven times, he said, highlighting Iran’s advancements in production of radiopharmaceuticals for the detection and treatment of illnesses.
The AEOI director declared Iran had wanted to become a major producer of deuterium pharmaceuticals in December 2022.
In April 2021, the AEOI began operating the second phase of its deuterium production unit at the Arak heavy water reactor facility in the central region of Iran.

Towards the 6th World Water Forum — Cooperative Actions for Water Security
Charter of Global Water Security
1. Water is a common, social and natural resource, which first must be used for meeting drinking and household needs, nutrition and food production (irrigated agriculture) needs, for ensuring health, diet, minimal livelihoods and well-being of population, especially of vulnerable people, for meeting environmental demands, as well as conservation and development flora and fauna.
2. Water needs to serve the purpose of cooperation and by no means should become a cause of conflict. Any meeting of interest related to quantity and quality of water between interested sides needs to be decided on the base of mutual respect.
3. Water is the nature’s gift, without which no life is possible on the Earth. Everyone has the right to life and, hence, to natural water. Therefore, in no circumstance, water in the open natural water bodies (oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers) can be considered as a commodity.
4. Equitable and reasonable access to water for each is an ethic, moral, and legal right guaranteed by the State in quantity, which meets the physical standards and the most appropriate technologies.
5. Each user must practice water saving by avoiding its wastage, protecting quality of water in the sources from pollution and deterioration, timely covering costs related to water production, conveyance and application.
6. The right of environment to water needs to be protected in both humid and dry conditions, avoiding disappearance or catastrophic reduction of natural water areas.
7. Nobody may violate the right to trans-boundary waters and equal access to equitable use (rational use according to the actual needs and existing potential) by all countries within a river basin. If overall demand growths or resource becomes over-exploited, it is essential to transfer to up-to-date water supply and water use technologies by consent and upon agreement among riparian countries in a river basin.
8. Nobody has a right to modify flow regimes in rivers in a way that causes artificial droughts or floods.
9. Any action on trans-boundary waters, including construction of large hydraulic structures, may be undertaken only provided that the findings of independent international expertise are positive and with consent of all riparian states-users and must harm or cause damage to upstream or downstream states. In this regard, those states need to be informed about any planned activity, which may have possible adverse effects, and where appropriate riparian states cooperate, and upon consent take the needed expertise for design criteria, assessment of impacts and mitigation measures.
10. The system of national water governance should be built in form of sustainable body of legal and social rules and norms that cover all water hierarchical levels and all aspects of social life, including economy and environment. Consequently, this will ensure the guarantee of water for the nature and human.

RECONSTRUCTING AMERICAN LITERARY HISTORY Edited by Sacvan Bercovitch. 351 pp. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press. Cloth, $20. Paper, $8.95.
IT is an open secret among professors of American literature that the standard survey of the field, the two-volume ''Literary History of the United States'' by Robert E. Spiller and his colleagues, which was first published in 1948 and most recently revised in 1974, bears little resemblance in substance and methodology to what is studied and taught in many universities today. In the essays that make up ''Reconstructing American Literary History,'' a select group of younger scholars in American literature presents what Sacvan Bercovitch, the editor, calls a ''revisionist challenge'' to Mr. Spiller's history.
In a short but pithy introduction, Mr. Bercovitch, a professor of English and American literature at Harvard University, catalogues the major weaknesses in the literary scholarship of the preceding generation of Americanists: the New Criticism's narrow focus on the text; the naive treatment of history as background or context for the literary work; and the unexamined creation of a literary canon and of consensus versions of our past. Mr. Bercovitch asserts that ''it will be the task of the present generation to reconstruct American literary history by making a virtue of dissensus.''
In the first essay, '' 'We Hold These Truths,' '' Robert A. Ferguson of the University of Chicago argues persuasively that the founding fathers hoped by rhetorical means to establish a consensus of political values favoring the hegemony of one group - their own - even at the cost of ignoring others, like women and slaves. Mr. Ferguson's promising line of argument stops there, but it points to the need to speculate on how the ideology of American literary history summarized in Mr. Spiller's mammoth and yet selective work was nourished and how we might rethink the subject.
The liveliest essay in Mr. Bercovitch's collection, however - a study of the ''sexual poetics'' of Whitman and Dickinson by Sandra M. Gilbert of Princeton University - presents us mainly with gender-conscious, innovative readings of canonical texts. Wendy Steiner of the University of Pennsylvania offers a wondrously imaginative and learned interpretation of Thomas Pynchon's ''Crying of Lot 49'' that is also but another interpretation of a contemporary novel as a rewriting of ''The Waste Land.'' Eric J. Sundquist of the University of California, Berkeley, convincingly portrays the impact of the Haitian slave revolt of the 1790's on Melville's ''Benito Cereno'' but advances our understanding of the novella's relation to its time primarily by adding new historical detail.
The European critical lexicon prized by the editor (''problematics,'' ''closure,'' ''totalizing,'' ''dialogic'') was unknown to Mr. Spiller and his team, and the structuralist and poststructuralist methods they imply help the essayists go beyond their predecessors. But there is no critical analysis of Mr. Spiller's volume outside of a few observations by Morris Dickstein of Queens College on the importance of the great works' cultural context and of popular culture. Curiously, the one essayist who attempts an overall theory of American literature, Werner Sollors of Harvard, chooses to attack precisely the kind of radical interpretations - including what Mr. Sollors calls ''single-sex and single-ethnic-group'' approaches -that might lead to an authentic reconstruction of our literary history. SUCH studies can serve as a first step toward a truly international culture, as Robert B. Stepto argues in ''Distrust of the Reader in Afro-American Narratives.'' For Mr. Stepto, of Yale University, acknowledging a ''particular tradition in Afro-American writing'' not only insures the endurance of that tradition but also ''necessarily complicates, in rich and complex ways, our thinking about the points of congruence between Afro-American and other Western literatures.''Continue reading the main story
Most of the important questions about conventional literary history are asked in this book, but no coherent response emerges. Moreover, with the exception of Mr. Stepto's contribution, the essays are wholly Eurocentric. American Indians, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans and Asian-Americans are as absent from this sketch of a new literary history as they were from Mr. Spiller's work. Mr. Bercovitch's ''dissensus'' produces some brilliant analytical pyrotechnics, but the result is a very gentle kind of revisionism.Continue reading the main story
