For the third year running, the Tathra Eaglettes will have to overcome the Eden Whalers if they hope to secure the SCAFL premiership. The Tathra ladies outfit have returned to form to claim a grand final place after slipping to third on the competition table this season. And now with the ultimate showdown looming, coaches Col Funston and David Howard are backing the Eaglettes to get over the line this time, but they know it won't be easy. "The women's grand final game against the favourites – Eden – should be yet another tough arm wrestle until the final siren, the pair said. "The Tathra Eaglettes are currently in a rush against time to get four injured players fit in time for the big game. However, the coaches Funston and Howard believe they have the depth of talent and versatility to cover any personnel changes. "The performance of our 10 first year players could well be the difference on the day, given their enthusiasm and commitment to our team first ethos!" The duo said the club's leadership group could be just the players to look out for as the team hopes to peg back the Whalers on Saturday. They said to look for a big game out of captain Elouise Sherwin-Russell, Cymmon Parker, Brea Williams and Eliza Terrey. Young guns Yasmin Welsford and Tyra-Lee Palmer had been stepping up in a big way, while experienced hands Sam Crowley, Tyjana Blacka, Sharri Manning and Naomi Shoobridge could sway the result. "But no matter what the outcome, the Tathra girls do us proud," the coaches said. The Tathra reserve grade roster are similarly peaking at the right time of the year after eliminating season-long rivals Merimbula in the preliminary final. The Sea Eagles have cemented a number of their combinations with some good combinations working the ball forward. The Manning brothers Baz and Leigh have been standing up well in the middle, while forward Adam Blacka has been in fine form with the boot. Zac Harlow has been providing good impact, while the ever-versatile David Little will be up and about after recently being made a life member of SCAFL. Little is massive in the defensive lines for the Sea Eagles and literally throws himself into mark contests to come up with the ball. With Peter Cross also standing tall and Scott Orr putting in some great performances, the Sea Eagles will be hoping to knock the Pambula Panthers off the totem pole. However, both teams need to be wary because they've taken the long path to the grand final and will be fronting up to fresh opponents. The Sapphire Coast AFL grand final is at Narooma's Bill Smyth Memorial Oval on Saturday. The reserves open senior play at 11.50am.

BRISTOL Ill. — A massive search by several police departments in Kendall County found a 37-year -old woman with autism five hours after she was reported missing.
The woman, identified only as "Wendy," was found around midnight near Bristol, Illinois.
Searchers discovered her unresponsive in a creek east of Willow Lane and north of Galena Road.
Rescuers immediately began CPR on her and she was taken to Rush Copley Medical Center in Aurora.
The Kendall County Sheriff's Department's drone and a Chicago Police helicopter assisted in the search.


An in-depth interview series with artists, authors and visionaries.
what she tells vs. the image Georgia O'Keefe gave her for what stays "in the vault"
MICAELA BLEI is a storyteller, teacher, writer and scholar. She's appeared onstage at the Moth, the Story Collider, Told, BTK Band and in elementary classrooms across New York City. Micaela is working on her PhD in Educational Theater, and she's also currently creating a story/performance for young audiences about New York City and a big, strange museum heist.

"As an independent, you really have to decide: what is enough? What is success for you? And there's, of course, a part of you that still wants to be Beyoncé, or sell a gazillion records but is 100,000 gonna be enough? That would be incredible--a hundred thousand records as an independent? You will end up making more money then you did on major Blah Blah label. And you will have done it yourself and you will have had control, you will have made all the decisions. You will have chosen the artwork. You will have paid for the record, and yes, your pockets are not as deep as Warner Brothers, but it's yours."
and her new musical play that's in the works right now.
Jonatha Brooke has been writing songs, making records and touring since her early days in Boston with her band The Story, which released two albums, Grace in Gravity and The Angel in the House, on Elektra Records. In 1995, Jonatha released the first of two solo albums on MCA/Universal, Plumb, followed by Ten Cent Wings in 1997. In 1999 she started her own independent label, Bad Dog Records and has since released six more albums. Her latest, The Works, combines previously unheard, unpublished Woody Guthrie lyrics with her own music and arrangements. Jonatha has written for three Disney films, has had songs included in many television shows and composed the theme song for Joss Whedon's television series Dollhouse. Currently she is working on two theatrical musical projects - Quadroon, with legendary contemporary jazz pianist Joe Sample; and My Mother Has Four Noses, a multi-media musical play that is an intimate account of her experience caring for her mother who endured dementia.

Q: Post Video content and thumbnail on Twitter I have integrate Twitter in my app successfully. But i couldn't post contents on my twitter account wall. I have tried many examples and tutorial. Please help me about this problem. Thanks in advance..

A: Ok, I use Twitter4j library which you can download at http://twitter4j.org and add to your libs folder in your project.
For the callback url, you have to set it up in your AndroidManifest like so :
         <activity
            android:name=".MyActivity"
            >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

                <data android:scheme="callback-url" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

After you get your access token back, I would do the following to tweet a file :
public void tweet(File f, String Message)
            throws TwitterException {

            StatusUpdate status = new StatusUpdate(Message);
            status.setMedia(f);
            // twitter is an object of Twitter for which you have set the authentication token
            twitter.updateStatus(status);
    }

This works well for images but I haven't tried it with video but it seems to me that it would work, you have to try it though.
I hope this helps.

Michelin-starred chef returns to Mallory Court Hotel in Warwickshire
A Michelin-starred chef has returned to a boutique country manor house hotel in Warwickshire.
After working for the award-winning Eden Hotel Collection, Simon Haigh has re-joined Mallory Court Hotel and Spa as Chef Director.
He returns to the helm 20 years after garnering a Michelin star for the restaurant in 2001 which it held for a decade.
The 3 AA Rosette restaurant, the Dining Room, has a menu which focuses on innovative, contemporary dishes created from seasonal produce.
Simon said: "I am excited to be back at Mallory Court again. We cook with the seasons and change the menu every day. I like the seasonality of things – the produce not only tastes better but it is more sustainable and you have less food waste."
Throughout the year much of the produce is sourced from the hotel's own Kitchen Garden, tended by Estate's manager Chris Holdsworth and gardener Giles Holdsworth. This is alongside the best locally sourced produce.
Simon has an eye for nurturing talent – fellow Great British Chef Alan Murchison worked under him as a 19-year-old. He also mentored 2016 Roux Scholarship winner Harry Guy, from Leamington Spa, whose first job was at Mallory Court after college. The 31-year-old has since worked with celebrated chef Joshua Skenes at Saison in San Francisco and is set to open his new restaurant, X by Harry Guy, in Chester next summer.
The Yorkshire-born chef continues this ethos, currently employing 17-year-old young apprentice Sam Bennett, from the nearby village of Bishop's Tachbrook, in his kitchen.
Simon won his first Michelin star as head chef at Scotland's Inverlochy Castle near Fort William in Inverness-shire, then joined Seaham Hall hotel in Northumberland, where he gained three AA rosettes. He has also worked at Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Oxfordshire.
Nick Hanson, General Manager of Mallory Court, said: "We are delighted Simon has returned. He is one of the most respected fine dining chefs in the UK and his food is a big draw."
Set in 10 acres of grounds near Leamington Spa, the grand Lutyens style manor house hotel offers 42 bedrooms, a 3 AA Rosette restaurant, events suite, gardens and an Elan Spa with its own separate spa suites.
The Eden hotel group also includes The Arden Hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon, The Greenway Hotel and Spa, Cheltenham, Brockencote Hall, Kidderminster and Bovey Castle, Devon – each with its own individual character, historic architecture, roaring fires and idyllic surroundings.

Colombia: A storm before the calm?
17 Jul 2014, By Stephen Russell
Last week, a new trade agreement, or bilateral investment treaty (BIT), between the UK and Colombia came into force. Defending the BIT, the British Government, when pressed late last year on the human rights situation in Colombia, responded that "progress has been made" and that they would continue to push the Colombian government to eliminate impunity. Sadly, as Amnesty, the ITUC, War on Want and the TUC's own campaign group Justice for Colombia report that trade unionists and other activists are suffering threats, murders, attacks and arrests, the current situation in the country suggests that any progress may be faltering.
That Government response was based on the contents of the 2012 Human Rights report, but it is the situation developing since the start of 2013, when 78 human rights defenders, including 27 trade unionists, were murdered, that is increasingly of concern.
This year Colombian trade unions have been subjected to appalling violence and repression, including car bombs hidden in food supplies, incendiary attacks on demonstrations, and assassination attempts and murders of lead negotiators. It is not always rogue elements responsible – the President of the union confederation CUT, Arturo Oscar Orozco, was left with serious face and eye injuries when a demonstration of hydroelectric workers in support of a collective bargaining agreement was attacked – in a stunningly disproportionate act – with explosives by the state's mobile riot squad (Source ITUC). CUT leader Huber Ballesteros remains in prison 10 months after his arrest for 'rebellion', with his trial repeatedly postponed.
In the last few weeks, urgent actions from our partners have been shared with us, each contributing to a picture of a country continuing a violent approach to workers and activists.
First, Amnesty reported that on April 29 several trade unionists, including Martha Diaz (a recent and extremely popular visitor to UNISON's annual conference), and other campaigners had been declared "military targets" in a written threat by the paramilitary group "Self-Defense Forces of Colombia". A delegation of Colombian activists visited the TUC not long before to ask us to monitor strikes in Colombia this summer, as they feared they would be met with violence and intimidation. Sure enough, the paramilitaries have accused the strikers of links to guerrilla groups and the campaigners are now under threat of death.
A few weeks later, Amnesty were again reporting anti-union violence, as on June 16 José Onofre Esquivel Luna, a vice-president of the Colombian food workers union, was shot at by men on motorcycles as he travelled to Medellin to attend a meeting with his union, SINTRAINAL. Fortunately he had bodyguards who returned fire, killing one assailant and injuring another. José has previously received paramilitary death threats, and these two attackers may not be the last to attempt his murder.
Finally, the ITUC, Justice for Colombia and War on Want contacted us with concerns about events in south west Colombia. Álvaro José Vega, another executive member of the CUT, was hospitalised after being attacked by individuals who threw an unknown chemical substance over him, causing burns to his face, and several trade unionists, including the President of regional union SINTRAEMCALI, and other campaigners received a threatening text message from paramilitary groups. This comes shortly after the double firebombing of the SINTRAEMCALI union offices.
War on Want has reported that their contacts on the ground in Colombia are seeing an upsurge in activity and violence from paramilitaries, particularly in the south west. The resumption of President Santos' peace talks with the FARC, given a literal vote of confidence by the Colombian people in the recent election, provides an image of progress at odds with the official figures from 2013 and the evidence coming in this year. Amnesty International's March 2014 report on Colombia notes that not only have paramilitary groups failed to disband despite Government promises in 2005, but there is continued evidence of their collusion with the Colombian security forces, who sometimes behave with equal savagery. Another recent visitor to UK unions, Angel Torres, had his house riddled with bullets by the Colombian army on July 4. Even worse, the Colombian army massacred four trade union activists, claiming – just like the paramilitaries – that they were guerrillas. Paramilitary forces being allowed to act as informal agents of the state and the military adopting paramilitary tactics is a blurred distinction that continues to blight attempts to bring murderers to justice.
These threats, attacks and murders are relentless because of the impunity with which those responsible carry them out. Even when convictions are secured, there seem to be no guarantees that those that challenged impunity are safe. War on Want is currently deeply concerned for the fate of activist Alfamir Castillo. Alfamir, whose son was murdered by the Colombian army in 2008, pursued justice and despite years of threats was rewarded with the conviction in June this year of seven soldiers found guilty of the crime.
Such is the dysfunction at the heart of Colombia's efforts to fix itself, however, that the soldiers were then remanded in custody in the headquarters of their own battalion. Predictably, after only a few days one of them has escaped, with the following threat sent to Alfamir: "Listen bitch, there is a big lion loose and his mission is to kill…death to you and many others."
Alfamir may not be a trade unionist, but without people like her having the courage to challenge impunity, trade unionists and other human rights defenders will always remain at risk. International organisations have called on the Colombian government to implement special protection measures for Alfamir, but to date nothing has been done. José Onofre Esquivel Luna's narrow escape shows just how crucial such measures can be.
The second Amnesty and the War on Want actions are still live and you can support them by following the links, and trade unionists and others can get involved with the TUC-supported work of Justice for Colombia, via their website.

Gulen was awarded the Manhae Peace Prize for his contributions to world peace at a ceremony held in South Korea last Sunday. Among the prominent recipients of the Manhae awards since they were first presented in 1997 are former South African President Nelson Mandela, exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and Iranian rights advocate Shirin Ebadi.
JWF President Mustafa Yesil received the prestigious Manhae award and generous 28,000USD honorarium in South Korea on behalf of Gulen, who was not able to attend the award ceremony due to health problems.
JWF's Yesil, who delivered a speech at the event after receiving Gulen's award, said the goals and ideals of the Hizmet movement are to help people and to make lives better without expecting anything in return and to work for world peace.
"Mr. Gulen has emphasized that he is accepting this award not for himself, but on behalf of the volunteers who work for humanity and peace. I find it meaningful that this award named after Manhae, who sought to become an ideal person and who made big sacrifices for his homeland, is being given to Mr. Gulen." Yesil said.
Gulen is a Turkish Islamic scholar well-known for his teachings promoting mutual understanding and tolerance between cultures. Now residing in the US, he has pioneered educational activities in a number of countries, along with efforts to promote intercultural and interfaith activities around the world. He has written nearly 50 books in Turkish, some of which have been translated into several languages.
In 1994, the Rwanda genocide killed over half a million people including about three quarters of the Tutsi population.


This attractive vintage style Wine Caddy is handmade from full grain leather and re-purposed denim. This modern day take on the Spanish "Bota" bag is a great way to carry your wine. It makes for a perfect gift and even better when paired with a fantastic bottle of wine! Ideal for 750ml wine or liquor bottles, but can of course be used as a pouch for other items. With the high quality Re-purposed Denim material combined with the fine leather, what better way to capture the cowboy look.
The "Bota" bag is a traditional Spanish container, typically for red wine. The bag is made of two pieces of goatskin leather, sewn together and lined with an impermeable layer. The nozzle is attached on the end and the wine would be squirted into your mouth. The "Bota" was usually carried by traders of Rioja wine, and even distributed as part of the standard equipment that Spanish soldiers were given on their campaign to Cuba in the 1800's.

Archie TV At Big Ten Basketball Media Day
CHICAGO - There was a lot to talk about at Big Ten Basketball Media Day today in Chicago. The Rosemont Hilton contained all 14 head coaches as well as an assortment of players from each school. You had everything from the veteran Michigan State coach Tom Izzo to Michigan's "rookie" coach Juwan Howard. Archie Miller made the rounds as well. From the main dais, to the BTN set in the back of the room and then to the individual breakout sessions where he spoke for approximately 40 minutes.
Miller touched on everything from an adaptive offensive philosophy, one that is expected to see much more and better ball movement for his third season in Bloomington, to the health and expectations of redshirt freshman Jerome Hunter. In regards to Hunter the Hoosiers head coach says while he has "tempered expectations" for the 6'7" wing, "we're pushing him hard, he's pushing himself hard & we're expecting him to contribute to this team." Miller said of the Ohio native, "He's got some things you just can't teach. He can score the ball a lot of different ways, he's competitive, he has some toughness about him, got an edge about him and he's very, very hungry to play."
A healthy Jerome Hunter will make Archie Miller and Hoosier fans alike very happy. The Hoosiers already start the season without a full compliment of scholarship players and last season showed how quickly numbers can dwindle during a rash of injuries.
If there has been one constant from Archie Miller in talking about this year's team it has been chemistry and how in needs to be better and will be better this season. For whatever reason that was obviously not the case last year and it showed itself especially during a 12 game losing streak. There were other factors like the rash of injuries, but teams, players, coaches - they can't control injuries. But how a team plays, unselfishly, smart, hard, together - those are all controllable and Archie know's it's the difference between winning and losing. "A humble group, a humble player, a humble staff, a humble program that is working towards other people not themselves will get the best results for this team."
This Saturday's Hoosier Hysteria will offer the first live look at the 2019-20 Indiana basketball team. If you are planning to be at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall at 4:30 remember admission is free, but please bring one or more canned goods.

Огля́дач Вели́кого Ви́буху — пропозиція спадкоємця проекту LISA. Основна наукова мета — спостереження гравітаційних хвиль, які виникли через невеликий час після Великого Вибуху, але на ньому також можливо буде зареєструвати молодші джерела гравітаційного випромінювання. ОВВ буде ймовірно досить чутливим до всіх LIGO й LISA джерел. Його надзвичайна точність полягає у використанні потужних лазерів та в обчисленні кореляції сигналів різних інтерферометрів навколо Сонця.

Пропонований інструмент складається із чотирьох інструментів на кшталт LISA, кожний з яких матиме три супутники, розташовані трикутником. Два трикутники будуть сполучені таким чином, щоб вийшла шестикутна зірка, подібна до зірки Давида. Інші два трикутники будуть рознесені уздовж орбіти Землі.

Супутники ОВВ будуть відрізнятися від супутників LISA тим, що на них будуть установлені потужніші лазери. До того ж, трикутники будуть набагато менші, ніж у LISA. Через менші розміри тестові маси будуть зазнавати набагато менших припливних відхилень, які можуть бути зафіксовані на окремій смузі інтерферометра, як в LIGO. У LISA, навпаки, тестові маси будуть рухатися значною мірою вільною орбітою, а супутник буде літати навколо них, і інтерференційні смуги будуть розраховуватися за допомогою методики інтерферометрії затримок.

Інструменти ОВВ являють собою великий виклик сучасним технологіям. Кошти на розробку ще не виділені, й, за найоптимістичнішими оцінками, запуск цього інструмента може здійснитися за кілька десятків років.

Jaguar Health's Italian Subsidiary Napo EU Appoints Annabella Amatulli Chief Regulatory Officer
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 8, 2021 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) today announced the appointment by Napo EU S.p.A., the company's Italian subsidiary, of Annabella Amatulli as chief regulatory officer. A recognized expert in global regulatory affairs, Ms. Amatulli will be responsible for both high-level strategic planning and hands-on support for Napo EU's development programs and licensed products from a regulatory perspective and serve as the primary liaison between Napo EU and European health authorities.
"We consider ourselves very fortunate to have identified Annabella for this very important role at Napo EU, and even more fortunate that she has joined as the first member of the Napo EU team," stated Lisa Conte, Jaguar's president and CEO and Napo EU board member. "She brings vast experience to the team, having worked in regulatory affairs throughout Europe and in other key regions of the world."
Ms. Amatulli previously served as a Global Regulatory Affairs Director at Dompé, an Italian bio-pharmaceutical company that markets 50 million medication packages in roughly 40 countries around the world. Ms. Amatulli also spent more than six years in regulatory affairs with the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson. Her recent track record includes approval of the Oxervate® (rhNGF) dossier in the US, China, EU and four other countries for the treatment of a rare disease of the eye; discussion with FDA, EMA and ANVISA about the development plan of 2 investigational products for COVID-19 treatment; the preparation and submission of three Investigational New Drug Applications (INDs) for different therapeutic areas (diabetes, oncology and ophtha); the development of a Global Early Access Program (Managed Access Program and Named-Patient Program); and the set-up of local affiliates in EU-5 countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom), the US, and China from a regulatory standpoint. Ms. Amatulli holds a BS degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology from the Università Degli Studi Di Milano, and a master's degree in Molecular Biology from the Università Degli Studi Milano-Bicocca.
"I am thrilled to join Napo EU to apply my experience in driving regulatory strategy to give not only a hope to patients but an approved treatment for a rare and serious disease. Our goal here in Napo EU is working to advance promising treatments for patients to significantly improve their quality of life," said Ms. Amatulli.
Napo EU was formed with the mission to expand access to crofelemer to Europe to address significant unmet gastrointestinal medical needs in the region. Napo EU's initial focus is on pursuing the accelerated conditional marketing authorization pathway from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for crofelemer for an important orphan-designated disease: short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure (SBS-IF).
Napo EU has hired a 20+ year veteran of Europe's pharmaceutical industry to serve as general manager. This individual will join Napo EU on November 15, 2021 and be responsible and accountable for the strategy, planning and implementation of all commercial and operational activities within Europe, with success defined by bringing crofelemer to market for target indications, beginning with SBS-IF.
The process is currently underway to identify candidates for the Napo EU chief medical officer role. Napo EU's CMO will be responsible for leading and directing all Napo EU clinical programs intended to support marketing authorization in Europe for crofelemer target indications.

It Doesn't Matter If You're Not On Facebook: They're Still Tracking You
Security Social Media
Philip Bates May 21, 2015 21-05-2015 4 minutes
A new report claims the social networking service is tracking people without their permission. It doesn't matter if you don't even use Facebook: they're still watching you. Here's what that means to you, and what you can do about it.
Of course, Facebook's privacy settings have been a worry since the site was set up in 2004, and frequent changes to your settings means there's often a fresh new concern. But we do throw ourselves online with such enthusiasm! Photos, private messages, locations – many of us document our lives using Facebook and Twitter. You can even turn your tweets into a book Convert Your Twitter Tweets Into A Published Book With Twournal Convert Your Twitter Tweets Into A Published Book With Twournal A few years ago, I stumbled upon Twournal which can put your latest 3,200 tweets into a PDF or paperback book. When you see your Twitter content archived in one document, you gain a better... Read More .
And when Facebook acquired WhatsApp, even the privacy of that SMS service Everything You Need to Know About Your WhatsApp Privacy Settings Everything You Need to Know About Your WhatsApp Privacy Settings As with all communication tools, privacy is of utmost importance. Here's how to protect your privacy when using WhatsApp. Read More got a few sweating.
And to add further fuel to controversies, the Belgium Privacy Protection Commission (CPVP/CBPL) says Facebook "tramples" on European privacy laws…
What Are They Doing?
Following a report by their inter-university centre, EMSOC/SPION, in conjunction with their counterparts in France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Germany, the commission states:
"The research results are disconcerting. Facebook disregards European and Belgian privacy legislation in several ways… [Tracking people through social plug-ins] does not only impact Facebook users but also virtually every Internet user in Belgium and Europe."
The social networking giant has seemingly ignored EU law by tracking traffic on Facebook.com domains – fan pages, most notably, but also profiles with looser privacy settings – that don't require an account. Perhaps more worryingly, the social plug-in used to "Like" pages across more than 13 million websites reads tracking cookies and sends that data onto Facebook.
So it actually doesn't matter if you've got a Facebook account or not: they can still track you.
And if you do have a Facebook account, session cookies allow the service to track sites you visit even after logging out.
EU privacy law asserts that consent has to be given before using tracking cookies (though exemptions apply if cookies are necessary to connect to a service or if they're needed to deliver something the user has requested). It's basically the reason websites have to let first-time visitors from the EU know that they employ cookies.
How Are They Getting Away With It?
A spokesman from Facebook said:
"As we expressed to the CBPL in person when we met, there is nothing more important to us than the privacy of our users and we work hard to make sure people have control over what they share and with whom. Facebook is already regulated in Europe and complies with European data protection law, so the applicability of the CBPL's efforts are unclear. But we will of course review the recommendations when we receive them with our European regulator, the Irish Data Protection Commissioner."
And that's the crux of Facebook's argument: that they're only subject to Irish law, as their European headquarters (a lavish, typically-cool building designed by Frank Gehry, complete with ping-pong table, inspirational posters, and giant illustrations of astronauts) is in Dublin.
The idea of shadow profiles – information about people who don't use the service – isn't anything new, of course. Max Schrems, Austrian activist and founder of Europe v Facebook, previously spoke out about Facebook flouting European law, and said in 2011:
"Now we are rather positive that the Irish authorities will make Facebook change a whole lot. If you read the interviews with the authority it seems like they are taking the cause very seriously."
The Privacy Protection Commission doesn't have the power to impose fines, but can begin lawsuit procedures.
Article 29 is Also Kicking up a Fuss
The Belgium Privacy Protection Commission isn't the only agency concerned about tracking cookies. The Article 29 Working Party, an independent data regulator, says social plug-ins should also ask permission from the user before sending out cookies, and that session cookies should expire when logged out of Facebook.
You can opt out of tracking used for advertisements by the social network, but Brendan Van Alsenoy, who contributes to the European Law Blog, told The Guardian:
"Facebook cannot rely on users' inaction (ie not opting out through a third-party website) to infer consent. As far as non-users are concerned, Facebook really has no legal basis whatsoever to justify its current tracking practices."
Last month, Facebook admitted to tracking non-users, but said it was due to a bug that is being fixed.
What Can You Do About It?
As Facebook says, you can opt-out of personalised ads which can publicise your likes, or you could even use non-tracking browser extensions The Top 8+ Security & Privacy Extensions For The Chrome Browser The Top 8+ Security & Privacy Extensions For The Chrome Browser Google's Chrome Web Store hosts many extensions that can protect your security and privacy while using Chrome.

Left FB last week. Deactivated several times in the past year, but came back now and then to see what I'd missed. What I found on each return ultimately wasn't worth the price of my privacy. FB's disingenuousness and apparent valuing of profit more than truth sealed my decision. Nice part of it: I feel a sense of release and relief.
After starting a Facebook in 2008 and closing it in 2015 I have learned more about the amount of data I gave away and that is now spread around the internet.
Today people need to realize that their data is currency and by giving it away they are giving away a type of capital.
Imagine having a unknown person who watches over your shoulder all day, every day and that is what; Facebook, Twitter, and Google, Microsoft, Apple, I.E. any company that wants free user data. And I'm intentionally taking about only commercial companies.
But in today's society that is what a majority of people want because this is the look at me era, and everyone is looking for their 15 mins of fame/shame.
I some times get nostalgic about the era where people were mad libraries were tracking books being checked out. Now it's abnormal to think about the government not reading and listening and watching everything you and everyone else does along with every big corporation on earth.
Shortly after signing up with Facebook about three or four years ago I opted out of it because of privacy issues. This article just reinforces what I did was the right thing to do.
I don't use any social network site, Twitter, Linkedin etc, etc, only flickr for the sole reason of showing some of my photographs. I do that with a grin of salt, since I know some people may steal my photographs and use them without asking for permission. To make that a bit more difficult I watermarked all of them.
Anybody who wants to contact me on the internet there is the "old fashioned" email.
Occasional Wanker
Never had a FB account to consider closing, I am proud to say.
Philip Bates
Fair enough! The worrying thing is that even if you don't have Facebook, and never have, there's still a shadow profile of you. It likely won't have your name, but it'll have certain demographic information.
Even smiling :) no joke: that's one of the reasons I consider FB a crime against humanity.

Thank you NSA. Feel so safe

I have already left Facebook because of their weak privacy policy & underhand tracking.
What I'm getting more agrivated with, when you disable the use of cookies in a browsers etc, the web page stops you from navigating to any other page, unless you agree to the T&C's. Unless you carefully read the T&C's, there is a high chance, your agreeing to pass on your details etc. so in the long & short of things, they are stopping you from accessing web pages, unless you give your data away

Aurecon takes home a joint win at the IMESA Biennial Project Excellence Awards 2010
18 November 2010 - Every two years, the Institute of Municipal Engineering of Southern Africa (IMESA) invites local, provincial and government/semi-government authorities and/or their engineering consultants to submit entries for the IMESA Biennial Project Excellence Awards.
Entries are required to demonstrate 'the art and science of infrastructure engineering to the general public and indicate how the profession finds answers to challenges'.
This year, Aurecon and SSI Consulting and Environmental Engineers' project, titled 'Emergency re-use of treated effluent for the George Municipality', won the award for the best Community Upliftment project in South Africa.
A key criterion for this category was the project's response to community needs. "Because the project helped secure a sustainable and safe water supply for the citizens of the George Municipality, it was a perfect candidate," comments Aurecon Water Sector Leader, Professor Andre Görgens.
George has a historical annual average rainfall of 712.3 mm, but only received an average of 375 mm in 2009, plunging the area into severe drought. This prompted the City of George to take a decision to implement a scheme for the indirect re-use of treated effluent. This scheme, which forms part of the Municipality's Raw Water Augmentation Plan drawn up in 2005 by Aurecon, will ensure a sustainable supply of raw water to meet potable water demands within the George Municipal area.
The initially proposed bulk water augmentation schemes included:
A pumping scheme on the Kaaimans River that transfers water from the Kaaimans River and discharges it into the Garden Route Dam (implementation was completed in 2008)
The Malgas River Pumping Scheme (MRPS) and the raising of the Garden Route Dam spillway (implementation commenced in 2009, with completion expected in 2011)
Construction of the Malgas/Maalgate Dam (implementation will be based on growth and demand in the city of George)
The indirect re-use of treated effluent, which was completed as an Emergency scheme (2009/2010) due to the severe drought in the region
Aurecon and SSI were appointed by the George Municipality to undertake the necessary design, formulation of tender documents for the construction phase and overall monitoring of the construction works for the indirect re-use of treated effluent scheme.
Initially, the project will add 10 Ml/d to the Garden Route Dam. Later, this can potentially be expanded to 35 Ml/d by incorporating a further 10 Ml per day of effluent from the Gwaiing Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) and an additional 15 Ml effluent per day from the future upgrading of the Outeniqua WWTW.
"From a resource perspective, the indirect re-use of treated effluent is not only environmentally sustainable, but economically sustainable as well, as water that has already been collected from natural raw water resources can be re-used, without the need to develop new natural resources. Water can be continually recycled safely and blended with the new natural raw water to reduce the demand on the other natural water resources," explains Professor Görgens.
He goes on to conclude that it is projects such as these that demonstrate the engineering profession's ability to solve the most pressing challenges that today's communities face.

Has Caribbean sugar a future?
Unless the sugar industry in CARICOM can develop in the coming months a co-ordinated and concerted plan of action, it is quite possible that in a few years' time there will be little left of an industry which, for evil and good, has played a central role in the making of the Caribbean.
This is because this year will see two tsunami-like events occur, both of which threaten the survival of the industry in its present form.
The first relates to the changes that will take place this October in the EU's sugar regime. Then, as a long planned domestic measure, the EU will abolish national sugar production quotas in Europe. This will have the effect of reducing the price paid for ACP sugar, while also causing the overall volume of EU sugar imports to fall as Europe becomes self-sufficient.
The measure, according to the European Commission's late 2015 report, 'EU Agricultural Outlook 2015 – 2025', is likely to see the EU sugar price declining to something approaching the already low world market price, forcing the EU sugar sector 'to become more competitive', and 'reducing the incentive for trade partners to export to the EU'.
For high cost, Caribbean producers – Guyana, Barbados, Belize and Jamaica – and almost all smaller cane producers in the ACP, this potentially spells the end of the EU market, as previously quota-restrained EU beet farmers expand production, taking advantage of much improved yields and industry consolidation, to sell without restriction across Europe and to export.
The second challenge arises out of the UK's 2016 decision to leave the EU. Britain is expected to notify formally the EU of this later this month, triggering years of uncertainty for all of Britain's trade partners as they negotiate new arrangements.
For the region, which still exports much of its sugar to the UK for refining, the timing is complicated. Not only will the new EU sugar regime apply to the UK until it formally separates in 2019 at the earliest, but this means that Britain is unlikely for some time yet, to be able to reconcile politically, how it will address the sugar issue.
This arises because any UK government is going to have to determine how to balance and resolve the competing post-Brexit interests of its domestic sugar producers; its cane sugar refiners; desired trade deals with major cane sugar and by-product producers like Brazil; and ACP development, probably in that order.
It is already clear that the British Sugar Corporation, which represents British beet growers is preparing for a monumental fight. They make the case that because they are efficient and make a significant economic contribution to the UK economy, they offer Britain the opportunity to protect the UK from imports of cane and beet sugar from producers wherever they may be.
Unfortunately, the industry in CARICOM must address both challenges at a time when the sugar sector still has many fundamental, unresolved issues.
While progress is being made in Belize and Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic has a viable privatised industry, there remain problems across CARICOM arising from the persistently high cost of production, poor labour relations, and inefficiencies.
More significantly, despite years of discussion and external support, governments and the industry have not so far been unable to undertake the type of reforms underway elsewhere in the ACP that could viably link sugar production to sugar refining, to the rum and ethanol industries, and to power generation and food production.
What is now happening in Europe, however, goes further, raising existential questions requiring a regional consensus and response.
In this context, a High Level Caribbean Sugar Policy Workshop planned for Kingston, Jamaica on March 23-24, is of potentially great importance. Organised jointly by the Sugar Association of the Caribbean, CARICOM and other partners from inside and beyond the region, it involves Ministers, officials and most importantly a wide range of industry partners, whose future governments now hold in their hands.
Although the agenda is still being set, some possible approaches to the discussion were contained in an ACP-endorsed study produced last year by Cardno/LMC International. This set out the risks facing ACP sugar producers from changes to the EU sugar regime, reviewed the situation in each ACP sugar producing nation, and suggested possible mitigating actions.
It recommended, in part, that the regional integration of ACP sugar industries should be a priority. In this context, it noted that while governments were free to support their industries by raising tariffs, co-ordination within free trade areas would be required if producers were to gain.
It is an idea that in a Caribbean context would mean not just a greater emphasis on CARICOM sugar production for the regional market, but an adjustment to the Common External Tariff to protect the industry while it adapts to new market conditions.
Although any measure that sustains sugar prices through inter-regional preference may prove controversial, securing a viable future for the sugar industry is important for the region.
Even if the industry now only accounts for less than two per cent of regional GDP – a figure that pales in comparison to tourism – it is still a significant employer of labour; supports rural communities; provides a range of social services; preserves the environment and contributes to carbon reduction; and indirectly halts urban drift and the associated problems of crime.
What transpires at the Kingston conference remains to be seen, but already there are ideas in circulation aimed at trying to identify a more secure future for the industry. Tariffs apart, these include possible joint arrangements for inter-regional and international marketing, creating a definition of Caribbean originating sugar, improving efficiency through privatisation, and identifying sources of finance to achieve this.
Within ten years the EU market for raw sugar from the Caribbean will most likely be all but a matter of history. While sugar production in CARICOM is unlikely to cease, hopefully by then what is left will be very different, reoriented, efficient and a part of a broader cane-based industrial sector.
