Figlio di un famoso gran visir, Köprülü Mehmed Pascià (1580 – 1661), al quale successe direttamente.

Intraprese inizialmente la carriera religiosa, ma la lasciò all'età di 23 anni quando aveva raggiunto il titolo di Müderris (studente di teologia). Dal 1658 fu governatore di Erzerum e dal 1659 di Damasco. In questa funzione condusse con successo alcune campagne militari contro i Drusi e venne presto nominato sostituto del padre, gran visir.

Nel 1661, al decesso di quest'ultimo, il sultano Mehmet IV gli conferì la carica del genitore. Egli ridusse l'imposizione fiscale ed intervenne in modo particolare contro la riscossione illegale. Tre anni dopo la sua assunzione di carica l'esercito ottomano da lui guidato subì la grave sconfitta di Mogersdorf nel corso della cosiddetta quarta guerra austro-turca (1663 – 1664) e si vide costretto a negoziare la pace con l'impero asburgico (pace di Eisenburg, 10 agosto 1664), che tuttavia lasciò all'impero ottomano gran parte delle conquiste effettuate durante tale guerra.

Nonostante il rovescio militare l'influenza di Fazıl Ahmed Köprülü su Mehmet IV rimase intatta e cinque anni dopo cadde nelle sue mani la città di Creta, fino ad allora difesa con successo dalla Repubblica di Venezia.

La guerra successiva da lui condotta fu quella turco polacca dal 1672 al 1676. Gli ottomani intervennero in difesa dei cosacchi ucraini di Petro Dorošenko, che aveva sollecitato il loro intervento contro i polacco-lituani. Inizialmente Köprülü fu sconfitto dai polacchi comandati dal Grande Atamano della Corona Jan Sobieski a Chocim e a Leopoli. Tuttavia gli ottomani s'imposero successivamente ponendo oneste condizioni di pace con il trattato di Żurawno del 17 ottobre 1676. Con questo trattato essi conservavano la fortezza di Kam"janec'-Podil's'kyj (Ucraina), gran parte della Podolia (conquistata nel 1672) e l'Ucraina meridionale. Tre giorni dopo Fazil Ahmed morì, presumibilmente di idropisia.

Fu un promotore dell'arte e della letteratura e fondò ad Istanbul una biblioteca tuttora esistente.

Let's All Have a Good Laugh at WeWork's Stupid 'Community Adjusted Ebitda' (UPDATE)
Ed. note: this article was originally published April 26, 2018. We have included a 2019 update at the bottom about WeWork's disastrous attempt at an IPO and how its broken accounting sent the house of cards tumbling down. First, the original article:
WeWork, a commercial landlord pretending to be a tech-lifestyle company, raised over $700 million in a bond offering yesterday, and it seems they are taking a page from Groupon's accounting playbook, offering a ludicrous profit metric for all of our enjoyment:
In the offering documents, WeWork went to unusual lengths to show ways in which the company would be profitable. While many companies typically offer "adjusted" earnings, WeWork offered three different layers of adjustments.
It called the fully adjusted number "community adjusted Ebitda," by which it subtracted not only interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, but also basic expenses like marketing, general and administrative, and development and design costs. Those earnings were $233 million, WeWork said.
"I've never seen the phrase 'community adjusted Ebitda' in my life," said Adam Cohen, founder of Covenant Review, a bond research company.
There are lots of unflattering things that someone could say about your company's ridiculous non-GAAP metric, I have a hard time thinking of something worse than "I've never seen that in my life."
A Look at WeWork's Books: Revenue Is Doubling but Losses Are Mounting [WSJ]
The Guardian on WeWork's failed IPO published December 20, 2019:
Everything went wrong for WeWork soon after it publicly filed documents for an initial public offering of shares, on 14 August. Six weeks later, Neumann had voted to remove himself from the CEO job and given up his majority control of WeWork's stock. The company's proposed valuation had fallen by more than half, and the IPO had been called off entirely. The failed IPO and the company's subsequent takeover by SoftBank, its largest investor, were both facilitated by the public exposure of long-known information: WeWork was losing a ton of money; its projections of the size of the market for shared office space (up to $3tn) were wildly optimistic (it counted anyone who worked at a desk in an American city where there was a WeWork as a potential "member"; in non-US cities with WeWorks, the estimate applied to anyone with an office job); and its corporate culture and strategy were completely in hock to Neumann and his family's bizarre ideas and whims.
The company's business model had been known to be expensive and have little path to profitability since at least 2015, when BuzzFeed first published documents WeWork had used to solicit investors.

As for the CDF digital camo, i think it is Chinese type 07.
You mean CHDKZ spectr camo? It is commercial camo, was used by pro-russian rebels in Crimea and south-east Ukraine.
I am very pleased with the latest update of CUP, for me this mod has moved to a new level, now weapons is made worthy and i can use it. I really hope that in the next update will be fixed the textures of SLA, CHDKZ, CDF infantry. At the moment they are too low quality.
@genesis92xIs there any way to disable the function of loading AI in all consecutive cars? Run on all empty cars and occupy them, you order to leave, they then again get into it.
Very strange, i have new chengelogs in every folder of mod.

Storms cause 1 death, widespread outages across Alabama
BIRMINGHAM — Storms that swept across Alabama with powerful winds left thousands of people without power and are being blamed for one death.
The Storm Prediction Center and news outlets report that a man died in the east Alabama city of Lineville when a tree fell on a car as storms moved through Thursday.
The victim's name hasn't been released.
Meanwhile, Alabama Power Co. says about 52,500 homes and businesses were still without electricity Friday morning. The largest number was in the Birmingham metro area.
Many of the outages were caused by trees and limbs that fell as a line of storms raced southward through the state.
The National Weather Service says straight-line winds estimated at 100 mph caused damage in north Alabama. Forecasters say winds around 60 mph struck elsewhere.


Antoni Tàpies i Puig, 1st Marquess of Tàpies (Barcelona, 13 December 1923 – 6 February 2012) was a Catalan painter, sculptor and art theorist, who became one of the most famous European 'informalist' artists of his generation. His beginnings were, like that of many artists of his generation, influenced by surrealism. His works from the 'Dau al Set' (1948-1951) period are very representative of this. He would son start creating his well known 'matter paintings' in which he would use a wide variety of materials, specially marble dust. His works were filled with signs, numbers, and words that often offered a clear political message. In 1990, The Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona opened its doors.

VIRUS TODAY: Record US deaths come on day of Capitol attack
FILE – In this Dec. 21, 2020, file photo, registered nurse Lydia Mauney works in a COVID-19 unit at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, Calif. The U.S. registered its highest deaths yet from the coronavirus on the same day as a mob attack on the nation's capitol laid bare some of the same, deep political divisions that have hampered the battle against the pandemic. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong, File)
Here's what's happening Thursday with the pandemic in the U.S.:
— The U.S. registered its highest deaths yet from the coronavirus on the very day the mob attack on the Capitol laid bare some of the same, deep political divisions that have hampered the battle against the pandemic. The virus is surging in virtually every state. California is particularly hard hit, with skyrocketing deaths and infections threatening to force hospitals to ration care. The same day that supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol, the nation recorded nearly 3,900 deaths. Trump and his followers have resisted efforts to social distance or wear masks to slow the spread.
— California hospitals struggling with a skyrocketing coronavirus surge are trying to preparefor the possibility that they may have to ration care for lack of staff and beds. The state avoided surging cases for months, but now the virus is raging out of control there in the wake of Thanksgiving holiday gatherings. Only Arizona tops California in cases per resident — a fact that is drawing renewed scrutinyto Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican who has resisted instituting restrictive measures.
— The number of Americans seeking unemployment aid fell slightly last week to 787,000, a historically high number that points to a weak job market held back by the pandemic. Thursday's figure from the Labor Department shows that even with the pandemic recession in its 10th month, many businesses are still laying off workers. Before the recession, weekly jobless claims typically numbered around 225,000.
QUOTABLE: "Folks are gasping for breath. Folks look like they're drowning when they are in bed right in front of us. I'm begging everyone to help us out because we aren't the front line. We're the last line." — Dr. Jeffrey Chien, an emergency room physician at Santa Clara Valley Regional Medical Center
ICYMI: A subdued Carnival season began in New Orleans after the virus put an end to the crowd-heavy balls and street parades that draw thousands of people to the city every year. The Mardi Gras season always starts on Jan. 6 and ends on Fat Tuesday, which this year falls on Feb. 16. The season is usually marked by extravagant balls and parades where costumed riders throw trinkets to the mobs of people packed along the parade routes. The pandemic has put an end to those large events.
ON THE HORIZON: Mexico says it has been trying to get help from nonprofit groups or the U.S. government to get vaccines for Mexican migrantsworking in the United States. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Mexico would keep trying "because it is a universal right." Migrants without documents often have trouble accessing health services in the U.S.

DETROIT (AP) — A judge granted preliminary approval Thursday to a $641 million deal that would benefit thousands of Flint residents who were harmed by lead-contaminated water.
The settlement includes $600 million from the state of Michigan, although Flint, an area hospital and an engineering firm are also part of the agreement. U.S. District Judge Judith Levy signed off in a 72-page opinion.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York judge on Thursday denied the National Rifle Association's bid to throw out a state lawsuit that seeks to put the powerful gun advocacy group out of business.
Judge Joel Cohen's ruling will allow New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit to move ahead in state court in Manhattan, rather than dismissing it on technical grounds or moving it to federal court, as the NRA's lawyers desired.

Pixie Knight (Japanese: ピクシーナイト, foaled 14 May 2018) is a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse. He showed promise as a two-year-old in 2020 when he won one of his two starts. In the following year he was initially campaigned over 1600 metres but after winning the Shinzan Kinen on his seasonal debut he was well beaten in his next two starts. He was then dropped back in distance to contest sprint races and showed improved form as he was narrowly beaten by older opponents in the CBC Sho and the Centaur Stakes before recording a decisive victory in the Grade 1 Sprinters Stakes.

Background
Pixie Knight is a bay colt with a white blaze bred in Japan by Northern Farm. During his racing career he was trained by Hidetaka Otonashi and raced in the blue and red colours of the Northern Farm affiliate Silk Racing. Pixie Knight is a large Thoroughbred, weighing up to 538 kg during his racing career. He was ridden in all of early race by Yuichi Fukunaga.

He was from the first crop of foals sired by Maurice, a six-time Grade 1 winner who was named Japanese Horse of the Year for 2015. Pixie Knight's dam Pixie Hollow showed modest racing ability, winning three races from fourteen attempts. She was descended from the American broodmare Some Pomp, making her a distant relative of the Kentucky Derby winner Lucky Debonair.

Racing career

2020: two-year-old season
Pixie Knight made his racecourse debut in a contest for previously unraced two-year-olds over 1400 metres on firm ground at Chukyo Racecourse on 26 September. Starting the 0.7/1 favourite in an eleven-runner field he came from fifth place on the final turn to win by half a length from Air Shrub. In the Shumeigiku Sho over the same distance at Hanshin Racecourse in November he started favourite but finished third behind Blue Spirit and Grande Fiore, beaten two and a quarter lengths by the winner.

2021 and onwards

On 19 January 2021 Pixie Knight was stepped up in class to begin his second campaign in the Grade 3 Shinzan Kinen over 1600 metres at Chukyo and started the 12/1 fourth choice in the betting. He took the lead from the start and was never headed, coming home one and a quarter lengths clear of Rooks Nest. After a break of almost three months he returned in the Grade 3 Arlington Cup at Hanshin when he started second favourite but finished fourth behind Ho O Amazon, Rickenbacker and Raymond Barows after leading for most of the way. The colt was then moved up to Group 1 class for the 26th edition of the Grade 1 NHK Mile Cup over 1600 metres at Tokyo Racecourse on 9 May and started at odds of 14/1. He set the pace from the start and maintained his advantage until the last 200 metres but then faded badly and came home twelfth of the seventeen finishers behind Schnell Meister. Pixie Knight was dropped back to sprint distances on 4 July for the Grade 3 CBC Sho a handicap race over 1200 metres at Kokura Racecourse, which saw him matched against older horses for the first time. In a change of tactics he was restrained by Fukunaga in the early stages before producing a strong late run but failed by half a length to overhaul the five-year-old First Force who was carrying a kilogram less.

After a summer break Pixie Knight returned to the track in the Grade 2 Centaur Stakes over 1200 metres at Chukyo on 12 September when he went off the 3.6/1 second favourite behind the four-year-old filly Resistencia. He settled in sixth place before switching to the outside and making sustained progress in the straight to take second place behind Resistencia, beaten a neck by the favourite. On 3 October at Nakayama Racecourse Pixie Knight contested the 55th edition of the Grade 1 Sprinters Stakes and went off at odds of 4.3/1 in a sixteen-runner field. Danon Smash started favourite ahead of Resistencia while the other contenders included First Force, Mozu Superflare (Takamatsunomiya Kinen), Gendarme (Daily Hai Nisai Stakes), Meikei Yell (Tulip Sho), Bien Fait (Hakodate Sprint Stakes), Shivaji (Silk Road Stakes), Taisei Vision (Keio Hai Nisai Stakes), A Will A Way (2020 Silk Road Stakes) and Eighteen Girl (Keeneland Cup). After racing in third place behind Mozu Superflare and Bien Fait made a forward move entering the straight, overtook Mozu Superflare 150 metres from the finish and went clear in the closing stages to win by two lengths from Resistencia. After the race Fukunada said "We got the best position than anyone could have hoped for. From the beginning of his career, I've always believed in the strength and potential this colt obtains and have voiced it too, but to be honest, I never thought he would give such a strong performance and land a Grade 1 win this fast. He's still not physically balanced yet but he will improve, mature and definitely become a target to beat in numerous future sprint races in or outside the country".

Pixie Knight went on to race at the Hong Kong Sprint held at Sha Tin Racecource, where he was involved in a four-horse spill that led to two other horses being euthanized. While Pixie Knight and his jockey Fukunaga both survived, Pixie Knight's legs suffered a fractured radiocarpal bone that took him out of racing for over a year, and Fukunaga suffering a broken collarbone.

Jurassic Park but With Pee-Wee Herman in Place of the T-Rex
This is gold — a perfect 30 seconds of entertainment. I have watched this at least 10 times and Pee-Wee rolling around on the ground at the end cracks me up every time.

The "Welcome to Jurassic Park" Scene But With The Dinosaurs Digitally Removed
Even though you knew going into Jurassic Park that they had somehow brought dinosaurs back to life, you don't actually see any of the prehistoric creatures until the "Welcome to Jurassic Park" reveal more than 20 minutes into the film. The scene features a Brachiosaurus eating from a tall tree and many dinosaurs flocked around a watering hole. William Hirsch edited that scene, digitally removing the dinosaurs so that Dr. Sattler, Dr. Malcolm, and the others are gawking in wonder at empty forests and a lonely lake.
Trees and lakes are pretty amazing though…we just don't notice that often. I imagine if you took someone who grew up in the Arctic or in a desert without access to any media or photography and plopped them without explanation on a tropical island, they would flip out.

The stories behind the 100 most iconic props in movie history
Thrillist has a great feature on 100 of the best props in movie history and how the directors, production designers, and artists found, chose, designed, bought, borrowed, or stole them to be a part of their films. About the plastic bag from American Beauty:
"It was a very low-budget movie. A tiny budget, and I had a tiny portion of the tiny budget. When I talked to Sam [Mendes, director] about the shopping bag, he was very specific about it not having markings on it. No store name, no 'thank you, have a nice day' — he wanted a plain, white plastic bag.
"Back in 1998, it was the early days for internet shopping. Now I do most of my prop shopping online, but back then it was yellow pages and finding things. I made calls to various manufacturers but the only way I could get one unmarked plastic bag was to buy 5,000 unmarked plastic bags. Even though it didn't seem like a lot at the time, it was still in the range of $500. Which with my $17,000 budget or about that, I couldn't afford it.
"The bag was always going to be filmed separately. Sam was going to take the video camera [that Wes Bentley used] and go out with the special effects guys with lawn blowers. It wasn't slotted in the schedule. So I started my prep and I said, I'll figure the bag out later. I'll figure the bag out later. I'll figure the bag out later. Towards the end of my prep, my assistant and I were in downtown LA and we're buying all sorts of stuff from all sorts of stores for all the characters. We came back to my house, and we're unloading my car, and we're piling all these bags on to the table, and right in the middle of the pile, is this white plastic bag with no markings. And I'm like, THAT'S THE BAG. We didn't know where it came from — we'd been to 55 different places. The receipts just say 'item number whatever.' I have no idea where that bag came from, but it came to me. It came from the prop gods who knew I'd never find one otherwise."
The cup of water in Jurassic Park:
"I was at work and Steven [Spielberg] calls into the office. He goes, 'I'm in the car, I'm playing Earth, Wind & Fire, and my mirror is shaking. That's what we need to do. I want to shake the mirror and I want to do something with the water.' The mirror shaking was really very easy — put a little vibrating motor in it that shook it. The water was a another story. It was very difficult thing to do. You couldn't do it. I had everyone working on it. Finally, messing around with a guitar one night, I set a glass and started playing notes on a guitar and got to a right frequency, a right note, and it did exactly what I wanted it to do."
Oh, and the red stapler from Office Space!
"I wanted the stapler to stand out in the cubicle and the color scheme in the cubicles was sort of gray and blue-green, so I had them make it red. It was just a regular off-the-shelf Swingline stapler. They didn't make them in red back then, so I had them paint it red and then put the Swingline logo on the side.
"Since Swingline didn't make one back then, people were calling them trying to order red staplers. Then people started making red Swinglines and selling them on Ebay and making lots of money, so Swingline finally decided to start making red staplers.
"I have the burnt one from the last scene. Stephen Root has one that was in his cubicle. There were three total that we made. I don't know where the third one is."
Ahhh, I could read these all day. Wait, the horse head in that scene in The Godfather was real?!
"John Marley, the guy who played the movie producer, was a pain in the ass because he was a complainer every time he was on screen. Now, we go to shoot the famous scene. We're shooting out on Long Island on a winter day, which is cold, dark, and rainy outside. We're down at an elegant old stone mansion, and John is wearing his silk coat and his pajamas, standing by the bed. Now, four grips walk in carrying this huge metal case. He has no idea what the hell's inside. I'm not exaggerating — it was probably about 6 to 8-ft square with the latches on each corner. He stands by the bed, and they lower this thing on the floor. They take off the four latches, and he almost faints. He sees this fucking horse's head with the tongue hanging out. Oh, Jesus Christ!
"The next thing we know, the head is on the bed, on the yellow sheets. So you know, the horse's head was frozen with dry ice, so it was fucking cold. Francis figures, 'This is my shot to get him.' They put all the phony blood. John refuses to stretch his legs out. He's got his legs pulled in so it doesn't hit the horse's head. Francis kept telling him to straighten out. His scream was blood-curdling. What you hear in the movie was not done later on. We were laughing at a certain point. We were fucking howling. He was freaking out. When that scene was over, he ran off the set, throwing the bloody shit on the floor. He was gone for the rest of the day."
Ok, that's enough, go read the whole thing already.
Jurassic Park but with the Dinosaurs from the 90s TV Show Dinosaurs
If you thought that photoshopping the characters from the 90s TV Dinosaurs into scenes from Jurassic Park would be impossible, well, Jen Lewis found a way.
(FYI, I loved Dinosaurs. I just looked at when it started airing and it came out much later than I thought…I was a senior in high school and continued watching it after heading off to college. I have clearly repressed the memory of how deeply uncool I was then. ("Then? Then?!!" cackles the narrator.))

Jurassic Park changed filmmaking forever
When Jurassic Park came out in the summer of 1993, it signaled a shift in the use of digital visual effects in Hollywood films. The movie wasn't the first to use any particular technique, but it was the first movie to showcase convincing, realistic digital effects. I watched Jurassic Park again recently and for a 23-year-old movie, the effects hold up surprisingly well. (For reference, 23 years ago, the top-of-the-line desktop computer was a 486 running at 50 MHz.)
"It's a Unix system, I know this"
Hold onto your butts, gang… I just found out, via Pixar's Michael B. Johnson, that the 3D file manager that Lex uses in Jurassic Park — "It's a Unix system, I know this" — was a real thing. FSN (File System Navigator) was a demo tool for Silicon Graphics' IRIX operating system that you could download from their web site.
P.S. In that same thread, Johnson shares that his office was the inspiration for Dennis Nedry's work area.

The Jurassic Park dossier
As a kid, Michael M collected a notebook full of information related to Jurassic Park, as if he worked in the computing department of InGen, the company that built the park.
The dossier is fairly thick and contains numerous completely made-up documents like dinosaur tooth records, DNA diagrams, and correspondence between myself, my imaginary colleagues and some of my friends from school whom I'd somehow managed to rope into my delusions.
Broadly, the dossier consists of the impossibly dull minutiae of park admin leading up to the events of the movie. I essentially gave myself a boring office job in my spare time outside of school. If nothing else, it's a fascinating insight into the mind of the type of pubescent idiot who never had a sun tan.
Love this. I definitely did stuff like this when I was a kid, but not nearly as elaborate. (via @robinsloan)
Jurassic Park's groundbreaking digital dinosaurs
Great short film about how ILM's groundbreaking visual effects came to be used in Jurassic Park.
When Spielberg originally conceived the movie, he was going to use stop-motion dinosaurs. ILM was tasked with providing motion blur to make them look more realistic. But in their spare time, a few engineers made a fully digital T. Rex skeleton and when the producers saw it, they flipped out and scrapped the stop-motion entirely. Fun story.
Jurassic Unix
Hold onto yer butts, you can use the computer interface from Jurassic Park right in your web browser.
It may look a little confusing but just remember: this is a Unix system and you know this.
DNA has a 521-year half-life
Researchers in Copenhagan and Perth used DNA found in the leg bones of the extinct moa bird to determine the half-life of DNA: 521 years.
By comparing the specimens' ages and degrees of DNA degradation, the researchers calculated that DNA has a half-life of 521 years. That means that after 521 years, half of the bonds between nucleotides in the backbone of a sample would have broken; after another 521 years half of the remaining bonds would have gone; and so on.
The team predicts that even in a bone at an ideal preservation temperature of -5 ºC, effectively every bond would be destroyed after a maximum of 6.8 million years. The DNA would cease to be readable much earlier — perhaps after roughly 1.5 million years, when the remaining strands would be too short to give meaningful information.
That means no real-life Jurassic Park, folks.

Preity loves every bit of her African Safari. "A big thank you to this incredible lot for giving us the experience of a lifetime in the bush," is what she wrote for a post.
Preity has not made any big screen appearances for a long time. She was last seen in 2013's Ishkq In Paris. Preity and Gene married in Los Angeles in February last year.

Online shopping scams involve a scammer using a fake retail website or impersonating a real retail website trying to trick victims into buying from them. Besides that, the scammer might also use fake online ads on search engines and even real retail websites to lure victims in. Sometimes, they might even set up a fake social media store too.
Sometimes, scammers also contact the victim by email, sending them links to their fake websites. They might also use malware-infected links too.
Usually, the scammer's deals are unbelievably generous, and their services always claim to offer overnight shipping and free deliveries. Basically, the scammer tries to use deals like that to get victims to lower their guard and act on instinct.
On top of that, the scammer might also try to get the victim to share personal and financial details with them – either by having them complete a sign-up form to finish the order, or by asking them for sensitive bank account info when completing the order. Scammers do this to further expose victims to identity theft besides just losing money.
In the US alone, 200+ million people rely on online shopping.
What's more, approximately 48% of online shoppers buy on impulse.
87% of online consumers say that price followed by shipping costs and speed are the most important purchase factors.
That's not just data that shows how much online shopping has grown. It's also info that showcases exactly why online shopping fraud is more and more common, and what trends scammers take advantage of (impulse buying and purchase factors, for instance) to trick victims into falling for their scams.
You receive an email from someone claiming to represent an online retailer you usually purchase from with a link to a limited-time deal. However, you can't find any mention of that deal on the retailer's website, and the link looks shady and it's shortened.
Besides the very low pricing, the website also claims to offer free shipping and overnight delivery.
The deal always has a short deadline (usually a few hours or even minutes), and the website copy has a tone of fear-mongering and pressure.
You are asked to purchase certain vouchers before being able to take advantage of the deal.
You aren't allowed to use credit cards to make a payment.
If the online store is on a social media platform, there are very little details about it, no reviews, and it's really new – besides just selling products at very low prices.
You can't find any exact contact details on the website, only a PO box number and a mobile phone number. You can't find a physical address for the store, or any landline numbers. The business often claims to be based overseas.
You are asked to share sensitive personal and financial info as part of the checkout process.
The website design feels sloppy, and you notice too many grammatical errors and typos.
The refund policy is extremely vague and unclear.
The store either has poor reviews or no reviews at all. Also, the website is relatively new (though, that doesn't always mean it's a scam, but it's something you should take into consideration).
And always keep in mind – if the deal sounds too good to be true, it's because it is.
How Do Online Shopping Scams Work?
The scammer will usually set up a fake retail website. If they try to impersonate a real retail website, they will buy a domain name similar to the legit retail domain but with a few modifications, and add stolen logos and images on the website. The design will also be similar, though it will feel a bit sloppy.
Normally, the scammer uses fake online ads to lure victims to their website. These ads can show up on search engines (yes, even between the first results on Google), social media, or even on legit retailers' websites.
That's not all, though. If the scammer managed to obtain a list of various victims' contact details (usually from the deep web), they will email them claiming to represent the retailer they usually buy from, or a generic online magazine/blog that shares tips on hot deals. This way, they will let the victim know about a limited-time only deal in the email, and send them a link they need to click to take advantage of it.
The link will usually lead to the scammer's website, but it's also likely it might contain some malware.
The products the scammer "sells" can either be made-up or just fake-branded items. The products will generally be offered at a very low price for a limited time only. It's quite common to see scammers offer so-called luxury items this way to further entice the victim.
Besides that, the scammer's website will also claim the victim can enjoy free shipping (usually overnight) – provided they buy the product right then and there.
In certain cases, the scammer will ask the victim to purchase various fake vouchers before being able to get the product that is advertised.
Another method scammers like to use with online shopping fraud is setting up a fake social media store. They will advertise it on social media, and keep it open only for a short period. Once they make some sales (usually products like fake-branded clothing and jewelry), they will close the store, and nobody will ever hear from them again – until they open up the next social media store, of course.
They won't accept credit cards on their fake stores because the victim could just dispute the charges later on this way.
What's more, sometimes the scammer might even ask the victim to provide various personal data or financial info when checking out, claiming they need it to finish up and ship the order, or to finish up the bill or invoice.
Alternatively, the scammer might just ask the victim to fill out a sign-up form during the checkout process. Since they are in a rush, the victim won't pay too much attention to all the details they are filling in.
All in all, if the victim makes a payment to the scammer, they'll most likely never get their money back. Furthermore, they will likely never receive the products they ordered either. If they do, they will quickly realize they are of sub-par quality.
Also, if the victim agrees to share their personal and financial info with the scammer, they won't just lose more money but they'll also be subjected to identity theft. Basically, their data will either be sold off on the deep web or used in future scams.
Lastly, it's also important to note that the victim is at risk of being exposed to malware infections if they access dubious links sent by scammers by email.
800+ People Fall for Online Shopping Scams – Hundreds of consumers have fallen prey to online shopping fraud on the Carousell online marketplace, with losses totalling around $691,700.
1,000+ Online Shopping Fraud Reports in Australia – Apparently, back in 2017, online shopping frauds scammed Australians out of an approximate sum of $150,000.
Around $500,000 Lost to Online Shopping Fraud – According to police statistics, back in 2014, both buyers and sellers lost nearly $500,000 to online shopping scams.
Always be skeptical of deals that seem too good to be true. If you notice extreme low prices that and offers that don't make sense (basically, the retailer wouldn't be able to make a living because of them), you're very likely dealing with a scam.
Make sure the retailer in question has a landline number or a physical address you can check out in the Contact Details section. Keep in mind that a PO box number or a mobile phone number can easily be changed.
Never make a payment to an online retailer that seems shady. If you are completely sure you want to make a payment, only do so if you can use credit cards. This way, you can at least dispute the charges if any issues arise. What's more, make sure the retailer handles secure payments (basically, that their URL starts with "https" and has a green padlock symbol next to it).
Never share sensitive personal and financial info with an online retailer – especially if you have to fill out a sign-up form.
Don't let yourself get pressured into making a purchase by FOMO (fear of missing out).
Be extremely vigilant of potential scams during events like Black Friday.
Keep your operating system and anti-virus/anti-malware software up-to-date to keep malware infections at bay.
Use the Wayback Machine tool to see just how old the website really is, and what used to be on it before the changes.
Always double-check the domain name to make sure it's not a variation of a popular legit retailer's domain name (like using "0" instead of "o," or having extra words added to the name).
If you receive an unsolicited email with a shortened link to a so-called "hot deal," don't click on it. It's very likely a scam, and might contain malware too.
Check if there are any reviews of the online store in question. If you can't find any, or see that other people are saying it's a scam, stay away from it.
If you find a great deal on a retailer's website that claims to be affiliated with another legit online retailer, but you can't find the deal or product(s) on the legit retailer's website, don't bother with it – it's likely a scam. You can also try contacting the legit retailer to discuss this with them.
Are You the Victim of an Online Shopping Scam?
If you believe you have fallen prey to online shopping fraud, we recommend getting in touch with your financial institution – especially if you have provided the scammer with your financial info. You first and foremost need to make sure your accounts are secure.
Besides that, it's also a good idea to contact your local authorities. We also think it's a good idea to report the scam to your State Attorney General's office.
Reporting the scam to the Federal Trade Commission.
Reporting the scam by using the Better Business Bureau's Scam Tracker.
Using the FBI's Internet Crime Complaints Center to report the scam.
Contacting your State Consumer Protection Office.
Post online reviews to let others know about the scam.

View the person's LinkedIn profile (so they get a notification that you've viewed it).
Invite them to connect on LinkedIn with a customized message.
After they accept your connection, send them a message (3-5 sentences max) about why you wanted to connect & share a link to your scheduling page for them to schedule a call with you. (I suggest 10to8.com, click HERE for a free 31 day trial).
If the person you're trying to reach has not yet booked a slot on your calendar / responded to your message, send them a quick message asking how they are and if they've found a time they're free to speak.
If they did not respond by Day 5, set a reminder in your calendar to view their profile on LinkedIn next week (this is equivalent to a polite nudge on the platform).
This is good info, typically takes 3-5 repeats to sink in.
I love LinkedIn. Great post!

Today was your due date. Today, your Daddy & I would have met you for the first time in the flesh. I can only imagine how happy we would have been. How relieved we would have been. I can only imagine how warm you would have been to hold, and how small. I can only imagine how big your Daddy would be smiling.
We loved you from the first moment we saw the positive test results, even before. We loved you the first time we admitted that we wanted to start having children. We loved you the first day we heard your name.
The day they told us you were gone was the saddest day of our lives. There was a crack in the planet. Time stopped. And I was so sad, My Lilly, that I would never be able to hold you. Never be able to kiss your cheeks. Never be able to hear you cry, or laugh, or call me Mommy. I will never be able to hear you tell me that you love me, and it makes me so terribly sad. Because I love you so much. So much more than I can ever write or describe.
I try to think you're in a better place. I try to think that you're with your Uncle Joe, and your Great Grandparents, and are happy. I like to think that you're with your Daddy and me as we go through our days. I try to understand that there's a better reason for you being in Heaven than being here with us.
You were so real for such a short while, my love. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I think of you every time I see another baby, or pregnant belly. I think of you every time someone asks us how we're doing. I think of you every time I look at your Daddy.
I'm so sorry, my Lilly. I tried to do everything I could to make sure you were safe. I feel like I failed you. The Doctors said that this just happens some times. I can't help but think that that can't possibly be true. If there was anything more I could have done, I would have. I would have done everything and anything in my power to been able to meet you and take care of you. I tried my hardest, my Lilly.
We love you baby girl, and we will celebrate you today for the rest of our lives. Until we meet you in heaven, and get to hold you.

RippleNami, Inc. named Stevie® Award Winner in Three Categories of the 2016 International Business Awards
SAN DIEGO, Calif. … August 15, 2016 … RippleNami, Inc., a provider of a map-based data visualization platform accessed via the cloud, announced today that it has been named a Bronze Stevie® Award winner in three categories of The 13th Annual International Business Awards, including : Startup of the Year – Business Products Industries; Startup of the Year – Business Services Industries; and, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year – in the Middle East and Africa.

This feature highlights a number of meteor showers, comets and asteroids which are visible during the month of March 2010. Mars is still the dominant planetary object in the evening sky though it it being joined by Venus in the early evening hours and Saturn in the late evening.
Mercury – The innermost planet spends most of the month too close to the Sun for most observers. During the last week of the month, Mercury quickly climbs out of the evening twilight sky on its way to its best evening apparition of the year in early April. By the end of March it can be found a few degrees to the lower right of Venus.
Venus – Here in Tucson, Venus is relatively easy to see thanks to our clear sky and lack of obscuring trees. For most people, the planet is still a difficult sight requiring a clear western horizon. At the start of the month, it sets a little less than an hour after the Sun. This gap grows to ~1.6 hours by the end of March. Not to worry though, Venus will be much higher and easier to see over the next few months. For northern observers, it will be highest in June. The best time for southern observers will be August.
Mars – Mars was at opposition (the point opposite the Sun in the sky) on January 29. Opposition means Mars is closest to Earth and at its brightest. This month the Earth and Mars continue to move further apart. As a result, Mars will quickly fade from magnitude -0.6 to +0.2. Still it will be a brilliant red beacon high in the eastern sky right after sundown outshining all but the brightest few stars. Note that unlike the stars which twinkle, Mars shines with an unwavering red glow.
Saturn – Saturn is at opposition in Virgo on March 21 when it will shine at magnitude +0.5. Telescope users should note that Saturn's rings are still within a few degrees of edge-on.
Jupiter – Jupiter is too close to the Sun for most observers. It will once again be visible in the early morning hours next month.
March marks the month with the lowest level of meteor activity. The year is usually split in 2 with January through June having low rates with few major showers while July through December (really through the 1st week of January) have high rates with many major showers.
Sporadic meteors are not part of any known meteor shower. They represent the background flux of meteors. Except for the few days per year when a major shower is active, most meteors that are observed are Sporadics. This is especially true for meteors observed during the evening. During March, 8-10 or so Sporadic meteors can be observed per hour from a dark moonless sky.
No major showers this month.

This year Wild 2 reached perihelion on February 22 at 1.60 AU while closest approach to Earth will occur on April 5 at 0.67 AU. Though the comet will only reach a brightness of magnitude ~9.2 to 9.5 in March, it will remain brighter than magnitude 10.0 from January through May. At mid-month the comet a morning object located in Virgo at a distance of 1.61 AU from the Sun and 0.71 AU from Earth.
These two long-period comets should become brighter than magnitude 10 this month. Both were found by components of the Catalina Sky Survey, one in Australia and the other in Arizona.
Comet McNaught was discovered by Rob McNaught on the night of May 27, 2009 deep in the southern sky. The discovery was made with the 0.5-m Uppsala Schmidt telescope from Australia as part of the Siding Spring Survey (one of the three Catalina Sky Survey components) for unknown asteroids and comets. At the time, the comet was a faint 17th magnitude.
With perihelion on April 30 of this year at a distance of 1.42 AU from the Sun, C/2009 K5 is now bright enough to be seen in small backyard telescopes from dark sites. During the month it should be as bright as 9.0 to 10.0 magnitude as it moves north while paralleling the Milky Way in Aquila. The comet will be a morning object all month long. At mid-month it will be located 1.57 AU from the Sun and 1.67 AU from Earth.
Comet Catalina was first spotted as an asteroidal object by observers at the Catalina Sky Survey proper on July 27, 2009. At the time the comet was 19th magnitude and probably just barely visible in images taken with the 0.68-m Catalina Schmidt telescope.
This comet is currently only 11th magnitude. The comet should rapidly brighten as it approaches its March 24th perihelion at a distance of 0.70 AU from the Sun. At that time the comet may be as bright as magnitude 9.0 as it cruises through the Milky Way constellations of Vulpecula, Cygnus, Lacerta and Andromeda in the morning sky.

Vesta starts the month at magnitude 6.2 and steadily fades to mag 6.8. Sixth magnitude is close to the brightest Vesta can get and is easy for binocular observers. If you are lucky enough to be located in a very dark rural site you may even be able to see Vesta by naked eye among the stars in the 'sickle' of Leo.
Herculina is a stoney S-type asteroid with a run-of-the-mill albedo of 16%. Though one of the brightest asteroids in the Main Belt, it avoided discovery for a century after the first asteroids were found (being found in 1904). As a result, this is the highest numbered asteroid that is relatively easy to see with a backyard telescope.
In March Herculina is at opposition and is between magnitude 8.8 and 9.0 for the entire month as it travels among the stars of Coma Berenices.

This month it brightens from magnitude 9.0 to 8.7 over the course of the month as it travels north through the constellation of Serpens.
On March 8, 2010 a mysterious explosion shook windows and many people across Northern Louisiana. It was investigated but nothing on land or in the sky offered an explanation to what could have made the "BOOM!" Local Meteorologist and Law Enfocement could only make a guess to what caused the occurance, a "Sonic Boom".
Local news reported people seeing a large gray mass moving across the sky and showed a mysterious blue halo in Georgia's sky. Could these two have been related? Did a meteor pass through the atmosphere and cause this "Boom"?
A sonic boom like the one you heard could easily have been made by a large meteor. Most meteors are small (the size of dust) and burn up at high altitudes (60 miles up). Larger meteors may survive to reach the ground. In these cases, the meteorite pieces cause a sonic boom as they slow from supersonic to subsonic speeds. Since these booms are caused close to the ground (only 5-10 miles up) they can really shake things up. We had a similar meteor fall here in Tucson last summer.
A glowing cloud was seen to the west of Georgia that evening. The picture can be seen here: http://www.thenewsstar.com/article/20100311/NEWS01/3110332. This sort of cloud is also consistent with a large meteor breaking up in the atmosphere.
Was it cloudy that night over LA? If the clouds were think enough it's possible the fireball would only have appeared as a dull glow moving behind the clouds.
Though I'd feel more certain if a few bright fireball reports surfaced, my feeling is the sonic boom was probably meteor related.
The explosion happen around 2pm on a very cloudy day and was heard in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. I also believe that it may have been a meteror. Since it was daylight and cloudy it would have been difficult to see. News reports at first said it may have been a natural gas pipe explosion but no evidence of this has been found. I would think that a explosion that happen on the ground that was felt for more than 300 miles would not be hard to find. Other reports believe that it may have been a jet that cause the sonic boom. Having been in the military and hearing many sonic booms from jets, I can say this boom was far more louder than any I have ever heard. I would like to know if anyone else has any theories to what it may have been.
wednesday may 12 i noticed what i thought to be venus in the sky around 8:38 in the evening as it got darker i took more pics and about 9:37 i snapped a pic showing the planet, at 938 to snapped another pic and this time it showed 2 objects, venus and right below it another object that seemed to be moving with a little tail on it. at 939 i took another pic that showed the two objects but the bottom one was no almost parrallel with im assuming venus. i waited until 954 and took another shot at an object i thought to be venus it was brighter than i had ever seen it, looked almost like a straight line of light, when observing the pics you can see two objects almost like binary stars close together, then about 20 seconds later i snapped another pic and could now only see venus and no other objects. Any astrnomers out there that could look at these pics to tell me what is going on.
i would be happy to send these photos to you they are about 2 mgs each.

Q: How to pass two list to multiprocessing target function and process the individual list with individual process I have two list one list contains server name and the second list contains service list.the length of both the list is equal.
server_list = [u'server1', u'server2', u'sever3', u'server4']
servive_name = [[u'postfix', u'diamond', u'lldpd', u'ssh', u'nagios-nrpe-server'], [u'postfix', u'lldpd', u'ssh', u'nagios-nrpe-server'], [u'postfix', u'lldpd', u'ssh', u'nagios-nrpe-server'], [u'postfix', u'lldpd', u'ssh', u'nagios-nrpe-server']]

i have this function
ssh_to_restart(server_name,services,output):
{
 // do ssh on the server and restart the service from service list
}

what i want is each process takes the server name and the service list from the respective list (ex- server1 has to map with 1st list in the service_list and so on)and execute the ssh_to_restart() function.
also number of process created with it should be equal to the length of the server_list.
how can i achieve this with something like this code
output = multiprocessing.Queue()
processes = [multiprocessing.Process(target=ssh_to_server, args=(server_list,service_list,output))]

EDIT:-
i tried with these codes
from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool as ThreadPool
pool = ThreadPool(4)
  pool.map(ssh_to_restart,zip(server_list,service_list))
  pool.close()
  pool.join()

but got this error
TypeError: ssh_to_restart() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

A: i did solve the problem with
from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool as ThreadPool
pool = ThreadPool(4)
pool.map(ssh_to_restart,zip(server_list,service_list))
pool.close()
pool.join()

the error
TypeError: ssh_to_restart() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

was solved by adding double parenthesis around
ssh_to_restart((server_name,services,output)):
{
// do ssh on the server and restart the service from service list
}

extra parentheses in the definition of insert_and_process - python treat that as a single parameter that should be a 2-item sequence. The first element of the sequence is attributed to the first variable, and the other to the second

The clinical and histopathologic features of specific skin infiltrates in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) have rarely been reported in detail. In this study we analyzed the clinical, histopathologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular features of 84 skin lesions from 42 patients (M:F = 1.3:1; mean age, 66.0 years; range, 42-83 years) with specific cutaneous manifestations of B-CLL. The duration of B-CLL before skin manifestations varied from 0 to 142 months (mean, 39 months). In seven patients (16.7%), skin lesions represented the first sign of disease. Clinical presentations included localized or generalized erythematous papules, plaques, nodules, and large tumors. Ulceration was uncommon. In six patients lesions were confined at the sites of scars from previous herpes zoster (four patients) or herpes simplex (two patients) eruptions. Histologically, three main patterns were recognized: (a) patchy perivascular and periadnexal, (b) nodular-diffuse, and (c) bandlike. Cytomorphologically, small monomorphous lymphocytes predominated. Proliferation centers were observed in only four specimens. In two patients presenting with tumors, a high content of large cells with features of centroblasts and immunoblasts was found (Richter's syndrome). Immunohistologic analyses were performed on paraffin-embedded specimens in 40 biopsies from 20 patients and on cryostat sections in 17 biopsies from 11 patients. Neoplastic B lymphocytes in all cases showed an aberrant phenotype (paraffin sections: CD20+ /CD5+/ CD43+; cryostat sections: CD19+ /CD5+; immunoglobulin light-chain restriction). Proliferation markers (Ki67, PCNA, MIB1) stained 5 to 80% of cells (mean, 25%; median, 20%). Polymerase chain reaction performed in nine cases on paraffin-embedded tissues using consensus primers for immunoglobulin heavy-chain genes showed a monoclonal population of B lymphocytes in all cases. Several discrete bands in addition to the prominent ones were noted in five cases, indicating the additional presence of B lymphocytes whose immunoglobulin genes were not monoclonally but oligoclonally rearranged. Follow-up data could be obtained from 31 patients. The two patients with Richter's syndrome died after 5 and 8 months, respectively. The 5-year survival of patients with small-cell cutaneous B-CLL was 66.6%. Our study indicates that cutaneous specific manifestations of B-CLL present with characteristic histologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular patterns. Prognosis in these patients is probably not affected by skin involvement.

Q: $f'=0$ on a co-countable set implies $f$ constant? Suppose $S\subset[0,1]$ is countable, $f:[0,1]\to\Bbb R$ is continuous, and $f'(t)=0$ for every $t\in[0,1]\setminus S$. Does it follow that $f$ is constant?
Yesterday I realized the answer's yes if $S$ is closed and $f$ has bounded variation (say $f(x)-f(0)=\mu([0,x])$. Then $\mu$ must be concentrated on $S$, and since $S$ is countable and $\mu$  vanishes on singletons it follows that $\mu=0$.)
Today I can show the answer's yes if $S$ is closed.
But.
(The answer must be yes: If there were a counterexample it would be in books next to or in place of that Lebesgue-Cantor function. But I fear some may feel this argument is somewhat lacking in "rigor"...)
Edit: Thanks to @MartinR for pointing out that this follows from the result here.
The answer there is a little intricate; one can get the idea  from the first few lines, and then give the following proof, which seems simpler to me (possibly just because stuff I figure out always seems simpler than stuff I try to read, maybe not):
Let $S=(\alpha_n)$. Let $\epsilon>0$.
If $x=\alpha_n$ there is an open interval $I_x$ with $x\in I_x$ and $$|f(s)-f(t)|<\epsilon2^{-n}\quad(s,t\in I_x).$$Otoh if $x\in[0,1]\setminus S$ there is an open interval  $I_x$ with $x\in I_x$ and $$|f(s)-f(x)|\le\epsilon|s-x|\quad(s\in I_x).$$
Now $[0,1]$ is covered by finitely many intervals $J_1,\dots,J_n$ with $J_j=I_{x_j}$. We can assume that no $J_j$ is contained in the union of the $J_k$ for $k\ne j$, and then we can assume that the $J_j$ are ordered from left to right; in particular $0\in J_1$ and $1\in J_n$.
Now $J_j\cap J_{j+1}\ne\emptyset$, since $[0,1]$ is connected. Say $y_j\in J_j\cap J_{j+1}$. Then $$|f(1)-f(0)|\le|f(0)-f(x_1)|+|f(x_1)-f(y_1)|+|f(y_1)-f(x_2)|+|f(x_2)-f(y_2)|
\\+|f(y_2)-f(x_3)|+\dots+|f(y_{n-1})-f(x_n)|+|f(x_n)-f(1)|.$$Now for each term here we may apply one or the other of the two inequalities above (depending on whether $x_j\in S$); throwing in a lot of extra stuff on the RHS to simplify the notation we obtain $$|f(1)-f(0)|\le2\epsilon\sum_k2^{-k}+\epsilon\sum|x_j-y_j|+\epsilon\sum|y_j-x_{j+1}|\le 3\epsilon.$$
So $f(1)=f(0)$, which come to think of it is not what we wanted to prove, but the same argument shows $f(b)=f(a)$ for every $[a,b]\subset[0,1]$.

Inspirational Quotes by Catherine of Siena (Italian Mystic)
St. Catherine of Siena (1347–80,) properly Caterina Benincasa, was an Italian Dominican tertiary, mystic, and one of Italy's patron saints. She was canonized in 1461. Her feast day is 29-April. She was named a doctor of the church in 1970 and a patron saint of Europe in 1999.
Born in Siena, Caterina became a Dominican at the age of 16. Her passion transformed many sinners, and she convinced Pope Gregory XI to return from the papacy in Avignon to Rome. Christ's stigmata were said to have been imprinted on her body in 1375.
Catherine's devout writings include 380 letters, 26 prayers, and the 4 treatises of Il libro della divina dottrina, better known as The Dialogue (c.1475; translated by Suzanne Noffke, 1980.) A comprehensive impression of Catherine's works, together with her biographer Raymond of Capua's, was issued in Siena (1707–21.)
Modern biographies include Alice Curtayne's Saint Catherine of Siena (1929, 1980) and Suzanne Noffke's Catherine of Siena (1996.)

You can see that 2nd note at the bottom says one of the factors is 'time since most recent account opening is too short' Which means I'm being dinged on my score because I've recently opened a new line of credit which in this case is that new Chase credit card.
However when I looked on my report history it shows my score going from 824 to 811 in the history.
I captured my score in screen shot as 816 back in November so I'm not sure why they're saying it was 824. Maybe my score went up from 816 to 824 and then went down to 811? I"m not sure. I've got an unexplained discrepancy of 8 points.
Either way I know that that new credit card caused my score to drop 5 or 13 points.

Malaysia cannot achieve the objective to become an international centre of academic excellence so long as the illusion of meritocracy in the university entrance selection system denies thousands of deserving Malaysian students affordable quality tertiary education in public universities every year
by Lim Kit Siang
(Petaling Jaya, Thursday): Malaysia cannot achieve the objective to become an international centre of academic excellence so long as the illusion of meritocracy in the university entrance selection system denies thousands of deserving Malaysian students affordable quality tertiary education in public universities every year.
The university student intake for the new academic year announced last Friday revealed the following racial breakdown:
Bumiputeras 23,182 62.6%
Chinese 11,921 32.2%
Indians 1,931 5.2%
Total 37,034 100%
As has been rightly pointed out by the DAPSY national secretary Loke Siew Fook, the Education Ministry has under-stated the percentage of bumiputra student intake into the public universities, as the allocation of another 10,650 places in various universities exclusively for bumiputera students had not been included which would have boosted the bumiputera student intake to 71 per cent while the Chinese and Indian student intake would have fallen to 25 per cent and 4 per cent respectively.
This year alone, some four to five thousand students who should have admitted on merit alone have been denied places in the public universities because there is no fair and professional university entrance selection system which gives all applicants a level playing field.
A system which provides the illusion without the substance of meritocracy is not only unfair to the students but also to the country, as it is not only harmful to the goals of national integration and preparing a new generation of Malaysians to be competitive enough to face the challenges of globalization, it would also defeat the country's objective to become an internationally-recognised centre of academic excellence and be a magnet of students from the countries in the region.
Parliament at its meeting next month should end the new disease of double-talk in the public discourse about education, in particular the university entrance examination system – to ensure that we not only have a meritocracy system in name but also in substance, delivering not just the illusion but also the fact of meritocracy in our universities.
