The race started in France before spreading to Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Australia, and the U.S. The cars are hydrogen-powered, and the drivers are kids with remote controls. It's the Hydrogen Horizon Automotive Challenge (H2AC), an endurance race that lets young engineers learn about the technology behind fuel cell vehicles by building 1:10 scale cars and pushing them to their limits. A group of students in Southern California has taken on the challenge and is prepping for the race right now. But the reasons why go beyond having an afterschool club for college applications.
1. "We're at a tipping point."
The company behind H2AC, Horizon Educational (an arm of Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies), wants to tackle some of the biggest challenges of the 21st century, specifically climate change. Seeing renewable energy as a solution, Horizon has designed educational programs like H2AC to teach sustainable practices to students.
CEO Timo Lukkarinen says the first thing the students in the program talk about is climate change and what scientific evidence says about it. They have the opportunity to debate and understand the scientific findings on the issue. "We really are at a tipping point, and we need to make sure we do something, or it might actually have big consequences for us," Lukkarinen says. "While there is a small part of political will talking against it, we need to make sure that within our educational system, we're actually educating [to recognize] signs—not beliefs."
There's a lot of emphasis on sustainability and alternate forms of energy production in many school's curriculums right now. With the launch of the hydrogen-powered Mirai, Toyota was looking for ways to get involved in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math—the addition of "A" for art is vital to computer-aided engineering design) education at the high-school level, and partnered with Horizon to bring its H2AC program to the West Coast in 2016.
After discussing climate change and its impact on ecosystems and societies around the world, the students take a look at the solutions. The H2AC program goes through experiments to compare renewable energy technologies and storage—a segue into hydrogen fuel cells and how the technology is being used in cars like the Mirai. The students are then tasked with assembling their own 1:10 scale remote-controlled FCV.
Mirai owners in California get involved, too, as mentors and consultants to the students while they design their FCV. They bring their Mirai to the sessions so the students can check out the car, peer under the hood, and connect what they're building to its real-world application.
"A lot of times at school, you're working on theory or working out problems in a book or in a classroom and don't get the practical application," says Toyota brand manager Nathan Kokes. "But here, they literally get their hands on the model and see how it takes shape in the real world."
"We have rules for the competition, but anything that's not stated in the rules is open for modification," says Lukkarinen. The students build the RC cars using Himoto chassis while taking Toyota's design principles into consideration. They then learn how to drive it, how to calculate its energy efficiency, and start putting together race strategies that include fuel planning.
The RC car's fuel cell system, a 30-watt fuel cell with two metal-hydride canisters, store hydrogen in solid form in a low-pressure, non-compressed compartment and charges the battery while the car is driving. As you can see from this YouTube video, building a Mirai is a tad bit more difficult. Kokes says only ten Mirais are built a day.
"The enthusiasm and passion—you almost have to hold them back sometimes because they want to do more and more and more," says Kokes. "It's incredible. It's a great position to be in, to let them go—and they exceed your expectations. It's amazing to watch."
The program aims to have an effect that reaches outside the classroom. Creating products that give back to the community, like alternative energy cars, is something the founders of Toyota believed should be in the company's mantra. "Our current line—'Let's go places'—is a community mindset," says Kokes. "It's not, 'You will do it by yourself;' it's 'Let's do it together. Let's move forward together.' The theme of innovation is inherent in [this partnership with Horizon], because we're continuing to strive and make things better."
The best reason? No final exam. Instead, after months of designing and constructing a fuel cell car, the program culminates in a four-hour endurance race (complete with refueling stations) against other participating schools to test the car's performance. This year, the race will be held at the NSTA National Conference in L.A.

Diller Scofidio + Renfro will design the first residential tower for Hudson Yards, a megaproject adjacent to the acclaimed New York City park.
Literally. Just as Friends of the High Line was releasing renderings of phase three this week, Related announced that it had chosen an architect for the first residential tower in the Hudson Yards: Diller Scofidio + Renfro. The firm, whose offices overlook the High Line, has never done a high-rise building. Partner Ricardo Scofidio says he is excited about the commission. "One can argue that most architects do their best building when it's the first commission of a type," he says. "You're not pulling details out of a drawer."
One section of the defunct railway—a spur that heads east from the "main line" at 30th Street—will nestle into a 70-foot cutout at the base of what is being called Tower C, a 51-story building designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox for the southeast corner of Hudson Yards. Hammond says that the 70-foot clearance will be enough to create a dramatic passageway, comparable to the High Line's tunnel under the Standard Hotel in the Meat Packing district. And in case there is any doubt about Related's decision to embrace the High Line, when the developer released renderings of Tower C, the High Line was prominently featured in the foreground.
For the High Line, this represents a dramatic change of fortune in just seven years. In 2005, the Bloomberg administration was hoping to build a football (and Olympics) stadium on the Hudson Yards site. Many renderings for the project showed it without the High Line. Even after the stadium plan collapsed, developers told New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, owners of the Hudson Yards property, that it would have to demolish the line to make the parcel worth building on, Hammond recalls.
Some parts of phase three—also being called the High Line at the West Side Rail Yards—may open as early as the spring of 2014. But there are caveats. According to a High Line press release, "The timeline for construction is subject to fundraising and the timing of capital funding required by zoning" (the latter a reference to funds the city will expect Related to contribute). So far, the organization has raised $38 million of the estimated $90 million needed to build phase three.

Attendees of the 2014 Nellis Open House enjoy the event's festivities at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, Nov. 12, 2014. Today, Nellis provides operation support for six wings, 52 tenant units and about 12,000 military and civilian members. Image: Senior Airman Christopher Tam/ U.S. Air Force
AT&T has announced it will provide 5G services to Nellis Air Force Base in Southern Nevada. The company will also deliver FirstNet — the nationwide public safety communications platform — to eligible public safety personnel across Nellis.
"We're honored to equip Nellis with a comprehensive communications solution built to support innovative services such as 5G and FirstNet," said Mike Leff, vice president, AT&T Global Public Sector.
AT&T reports it will equip Nellis with 5G infrastructure to support wireless data and voice services connecting the base's more than 40,000 Air Force personnel, their families and retirees. The company's connectivity will reach across Nellis' flight line, facilities, dormitories and the Mike O'Callaghan Military Medical Center.
The new solution is expected to support a broad array of technology tools and innovations, AT&T reported. These should help the base to transfer mission data at high speeds with lower latency; enhance continuous video surveillance and analytics; and improve geographically distributed training for the Virtual Test and Training Center using augmented reality/virtual reality capabilities.
The FirstNet deployment, meanwhile, is designed to strengthen communications among city, county, state, federal and tribal public safety professionals.

Sorry! You missed Nothing More at South Side Ballroom
Nothing More leaven the melee with melody, often striking a balance between kinetic thrills and keening pop hooks with the skill of a Linkin Park.
Why See Nothing More?
Nothing More Rocks Out On The Truth Tour
Formed in 2003, Texan rock quartet Nothing More spent much of the 2000s trying to solidify their line-up and attract mainstream attention. When the band's drummer Johnny Hawkins stepped out from behind the kit and into the role of frontman and lead vocalist, labels and breakthrough success came calling following the release of their fourth album Nothing More in 2014. Five years later, the outfit hits the road on their biggest headline jaunt yet - The Truth Tour 2019. Support comes from Of Mice & Men, Badflower and Palisades.
Released in 2017, Nothing More's last record 'The Stories We Tell Ourselves' earned them three 2018 Grammy nominations for Best Rock Performance, Song and Album. Hailed as 'the twisted Blue Man Group of rock and roll', the band sets up two drum kits for their live shows so that Hawkins can join in intermittently, making for a rhythm-filled, raucous gig and energetic live performances that have become their trademark. When they're not crowd surfing, NM champion social causes - one dollar from every ticket sold on tour benefits To Write Love On Her Arms, a non-profit charity that offers guidance to those struggling with addiction and depression.
Performance date: 22 March 2019

Inter Milan recorded a 3-1 win away at relegation battling Frosinone on Sunday to strengthen their grip on third place in Serie A. Luciano Spalletti's side were under pressure to deliver a result in order to avoid being dragged into a tight race for Champions League qualification, after AS Roma and AC Milan won on Saturday.
A header from Radja Nainggolan and an Ivan Perisic penalty in the first half put Inter in control before Francesco Cassata pulled one back for Frosinone as they improved after the break. However, Matias Vecino's stoppage-time strike sealed a win that keeps the visitors five points clear of Milan in fourth place with six rounds remaining in the league season.
Inter have 60 points, giving them breathing space from a tight-knit chasing pack of Milan (55), Roma (54), Atalanta (52), Torino (50) and Lazio (49). Atalanta and Lazio both have a game in hand. But Inter coach Spalletti had concerns about his team's failure to kill the game off until the last few minutes. "We saw that the moment we feel remotely safe or comfortable, we can run into a devastating setback," he said to Sky Sports Italia.
"It happens to everyone, but probably more to Inter. When you think it's all in hand, rather than finish it off, you get timid and soft. "Frosinone had nothing to lose, so their only objective was to impress and get a great result in an important fixture. A defeat won't make much difference to them at this point." Frosinone went into the game buoyed by recent wins over Parma and Fiorentina, the first time the club had ever achieved back-to-back victories in the top flight.
However, the second-bottom side's hopes of producing an upset were soon dealt a blow when Nainggolan rose unopposed to head in a Danilo D'Ambrosio cross. The visitors doubled their lead shortly before halftime when Raman Chibsah hauled down Milan Skriniar in the area to concede a penalty, which Perisic dispatched in composed fashion. Frosinone were back in contention with just over an hour played when Cassata's low strike from the edge of the box beat Samir Handanovic, despite the goalkeeper getting a hand to the shot.
Inter striker Mauro Icardi headed over a great opportunity from six yards out, but Vecino put the result beyond doubt when he finished off a counter attack with a drilled shot in stoppage time. Frosinone remain in 19th place with 23 points and are two places and eight points adrift of 17th place, currently occupied by Bologna.

There are many small business owners who use Facebook to promote their business. Very often, most people overlook the importance of Twitter as another tool that can help grow your business.
As per current research by Statista (Q4, 2018), there are over 321 million monthly active users worldwide on Twitter and Asia has become Twitter most important market overtaking U.S.
So what's so great about Twitter?
Twitter is like an elevator pitch for your brand. It's a way to get your point across quickly, connect yourself to important news topics, discover new content and see what's trending in their social world.
This way, it opens up huge opportunities to promote your local business.
To start leveraging Twitter for local small businesses, here are some steps you can take immediately after you created your first business Twitter account.
Twitter Bio is the first potential thing your follower will look for. It must be able to directly show visitors of what your business is all about.
Your bio can be humorous, one that shares your belief or dream, shares your company establishment, highlights your accomplishment or any other ideas that can directly associate your business.
Being genuine, truthful and authentic in your bio is crucial. Never stuff your bio with too many hashtags or keywords as it will make your business looks bad.
Image says a thousand words. A good Profile Photo will definitely attract potential followers to know more. In fact, your face is part of the community as people like to interact with "real human".
Therefore, having a face on your profile is very applicable to small local businesses that has only one or two owners who are hands-on running the business. Such small businesses include restaurants, beauty salons, fashion boutique, etc.
Once you've decided on your Profile Photo, I would suggest you show image related to your business or your community as Cover Photo.
For example, you can show group photo of all your employees wearing uniform taken in from of your shop.
Or you can show the various products of your company provided the photo is taken "artistically".
Never try to sell your products or services in your Cover Photo.
I use canva.com to create most of my social media Cover Photo. It is so easy to use as it has the exact dimension of all major images allowed by these social media sites.
My cover photo (above) with the words "To Make A Difference in some's life, you just need to SHARE" was created using Canva.
What is more important than to let your potential follower know your business location? In fact, other than this, there are few reasons why you should do this.
First is to enable Twitter to show your account and come out in search result to people searching in your area.
Next, you can type your location on Twitter search box and look for activities happening around your area. This feature provides great opportunity for you as local business owner to participate in relevant discussion.
For example, if you are running a fashion boutique and see people discussing about what to wear for Christmas, you can join the discussion by offering dresses available in your shop.
Once you already set your location, you should also include your website and contact information below your Bio.
When people visit your profile, they will tend to see your latest tweet on top. In order to let them notice your preferred tweet, you can pin it on your profile.
For instant, you can pin a free coupon or giveaway tweet so that your followers can grab the promotion and visit your store.
To pin a tweet, decide on the tweet, find the 3 dots or arrow down button and finally select "pin to your profile page" tab. That's how easy to pin a tweet.
I use my Twitter to help people to earn money online (here are 50 ways to make money online) with the right tools and training.
That's why I often give out free training or guide on how to start a small business online and earn affiliate commission.
Here're a few FREE resources I provide for my followers, which you can get for free below.
Tweets with Image receive more retweets than tweets without one. The perfect image size is 1024 x 512 to show great in timeline. Here are some photos you should include in your tweet to promote small local business.
It is important to make sure that your tweets consist variety of content so it stays fresh and will not be boring.
As mentioned earlier, variety is important. It is the same as having a video rather than only image at all times.
There is no need to link your video with url. You can upload videos up to 512MB, however you will be prompted to edit videos to 2 minutes and 20 seconds or less in length.
Again, you can consider sharing behind the scene video or some humorous ones or even sent personalized message to your prospects, new followers or existing customers.
Whatever I've shared here are only basic strategy to start your local business via Twitter.
If you have multiple social networks, I suggest you to use Hootsuite to schedule content sharing. This tools allow you to efficiently manage all your social accounts from one single dashboard.
It's free to use on 3 social accounts but if you want more and access to social analytics, then there's a paid subscription too.
I hope this article can help small local business starts leveraging on Twitter as one of its growth strategy.
If you have any idea on how to promote your local business, do share with us so that we can learn from you too.

Q: Show PDF cover page as thumbnail on browser My requirement is that i have to display list of PDF documents on browser as rectangular boxes. In the rectangular box i need to show PDF document cover page as thumbnail. When user clicks on any rectangular box, calls goes to server side and document will download on client.
We have couple of JQuery plugins that works as PDF viewer but what i need is PDF first page as thumbnail.
My questions is can we achieve this on client side?
If not then i will have to possibly work this out on server side by converting PDF page to image using JPedal/Ghost4J tools and then sending images to client side.

"I asked Freddie Hubbard about it. Same thing. I said, 'When I left Art Blakey, I could not play with another drummer. I was frustrated. I felt like the drummer was tickling the drums.' And Freddie said, 'You, too? I had the same problem when I left. And I just took it for granted while I was there.' "
"Now I was really into it. We finished the engagement. He said to me, 'Do you think you could make one week with us in Pittsburgh?' "I thought, 'Well, one week is not so bad.' So I went to Pittsburgh with him. And just about the day before we closed, he said, 'We just got a call to go to Washington. Do you think you could make it one more week?' He suckered me little by little.
"I can't believe what I said to him!" Benny laughed at the memory of his own seeming audacity.
"I said, 'Get a new band.'"
"I said, 'There's another guy from Philadelphia, named Jymie Merritt.'" Merritt had played in Philadelphia with Golson, Coltrane, and Philly Joe, and had been with Bull Moose Jackson. At the time Golson recommended him to Blakey, he was out of jazz, working in rhythm-and-blues.
"That night I said to myself, 'How can I write a march that sounds military yet doesn't sound like the army? A little something different. Maybe a blues, but not just an ordinary blues. A blues with a different tinge.' I came up with this thing, "Blues March," just a novelty tune that would be played for a while and that would be the end of it.
The next day I brought it in. Nobody has ever played that tune the way he played it. All the world's best drummers have played that song, but to this day nobody ever played it the way he played it. That thing caught on. I couldn't believe it. Until the time he died, that was still part of the repertoire. That and "Along Came Betty" stayed in there.
"We sat there, and he did it, and I said, 'That's it.' We rehearsed it and played it that night and laid 'em out in the aisles. "Moanin'." The rest is history. That's how that came about.

Layers within the Corporate-Financial Oligarchy
Prabhat Patnaik
MARXISM teaches us that every totality is composed of elements which are different and hence among whom there are contradictions. Even when the totality is conceptualized as a totality, there must be an implicit awareness of these contradictions. This injunction should not be forgotten when we study the political economy of authoritarian or fascistic regimes.
Marxists have for long seen such regimes as being based on the solid support of monopoly capital; indeed this is crucial for their coming to power. The renowned Marxist economist Michal Kalecki for instance saw the European fascist regimes of the 1930s as resting upon a "partnership of big business with fascist upstarts". In lieu of the support it extends to such regimes, monopoly capital extracts its pound of flesh in the form of huge contracts, concessions and hence profits. But while all segments of monopoly capital benefit immensely from such fascist, semi-fascist and authoritarian regimes, not all of them benefit equally. Within big business there are some, typically certain new monopoly groups who are especially favoured by such regimes, a phenomenon that has also received much attention in Marxist analyses.
The French Leftist Daniel Guerin in his book Fascism and Big Business (1936) had distinguished between the old monopoly groups whose base had been in traditional industries like textiles, and the new monopoly groups that were more into heavy industry and armaments, and had a particularly close nexus with the fascist regimes in Europe. In the case of Japan likewise, a distinction is drawn between the old zaibatsu and the new zaibatsu (called the shinko zaibatsu). The old zaibatsu (or monopoly houses) like Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo and Yasuda, had straddled a whole range of activities, but these were dominated by traditional sectors. The shinko zaibatsu, prominent among which was Nissan, was, by contrast, into newer activities, like heavy industry, armaments, and overseas mineral extraction. Nissan was engaged in large-scale mining in Korea using local labour under abysmal working conditions to feed the war machinery of mineral-poor Japan. The shinko zaibatsu, needless to say, was much closer to the Japanese militarist regime of the 1930s.
In India too the hypothesis was advanced that the tendency towards authoritarianism, displayed for instance by Indira Gandhi during the Emergency, was linked to a similar phenomenon, of the emergence of a newer element within monopoly capital that was more aggressive compared to its traditional counterpart.
These insights must be kept in mind while analysing the current situation in the country. The fact that the Modi regime's coming to power both in 2014 and 2019 was made possible by the corporate support it received is obvious. In fact the very idea of projecting Modi as a future prime minister had come up, sometime before 2014, at an "investors' summit" attended by the major corporate honchos of the country which had been held in Gujarat where Modi was the chief minister. The role of corporate support in Modi's ascendancy can be gauged from one simple fact: according to a Delhi-based NGO the BJP spent Rs 27,000 crores in the 2019 parliamentary elections, way above what any other bourgeois Party did, let alone the Left. This meant roughly Rs 50 crores per parliamentary constituency. Expenditure on this scale is impossible to finance unless one has generous corporate funding.
It would be quite appropriate therefore to call the current regime as one based on a corporate-communal alliance; and the corporates' have done well out of this alliance. True, the economy is stuck in a crisis to which there appears to be no end under the Modi regime; but the crisis, let us not forget, is a systemic one, reflective of the fact that neo-liberalism has reached a dead-end. Within this crisis, however, the Modi regime has been quite unstinting in putting profits, as well as public sector assets at throwaway prices, into the hands of monopoly capital. In fact, the only concern it has in the midst of the crisis, is how to help its friends in the corporate sector. And it has done so through massive tax cuts (amounting to Rs 1.5 lakh crores) under the guise of stimulating their "animal spirits"!
Of course, there will be no recovery from the crisis as a consequence of its largesse to the corporates; in fact if the revenue foregone results in a cut in public expenditure, or in larger taxes on the working people for maintaining public expenditure, then the crisis will only get aggravated. But even if the crisis gets aggravated as a result of this largesse, the corporates would still have been net gainers from it.
A numerical example will clarify this point and throw light on the government's real intent. Suppose the government, having given Rs 1.5 lakh crores of corporate tax concessions cuts its own expenditure by an equivalent amount, i.e., Rs 1.5 lakh crores. Let us ignore foreign trade complications here by assuming a closed economy. And let us assume that the corporate sector's income is one-quarter of GDP, of which they save one-third; and of the three-quarters of GDP that goes to the rest of the economy, one-third again is saved. Then the overall savings-GDP ratio in the economy is one-third. With government expenditure cut by Rs1.5 lakh crores, GDP will fall by Rs 4.5 lakh crores (because the value of the multiplier is the reciprocal of the savings ratio, which works out to3). The fall in pre-tax corporate income will be one-quarter of Rs 4.5 lakh crores which is roughly Rs 1.1 lakh crores; but then post-tax corporate income would have increased by Rs 40,000 crores. Hence, even if the government's tax concession to the corporates' lowers its expenditure equivalently and thereby lowers pre-tax corporate incomes, the tax concession would still mean an increase in post-tax corporate incomes, despite aggravating the crisis and unemployment.
The government's measures in short are meant not so much to alleviate the crisis as to ensure that even during the crisis corporate profits keep increasing. But while the government's measures benefit the corporates as a whole, among the corporates it has a special concern for some corporate houses which are the equivalent of our own shinko zaibatsu; they are new and aggressive business houses promoting this regime.
Within the corporate sector in short, there is a distinction one can draw, between these new houses, among whom the two Ambani houses and the Adanis stand out, who are the special favourites of the Modi dispensation, and get a substantial chunk of the benefits of cronyism under it, and the others who are also beneficiaries of the Modi regime, but not quite to the same extent as the first group. The idea of two groups within corporate bourgeoisie, the traditional ones and the new aggressive ones, with the second group being particularly closely integrated with the authoritarian government, seems to have a certain validity even in the current Indian context.
The Adanis' rise to prominence in Gujarat was itself closely linked to Narendra Modi's tenure as chief minister of the state, and with Modi coming into the national lime-light, the Adanis too have moved centre-stage. The closeness between the two is highlighted by the fact that Modi came for his swearing-in as prime minister in 2014 in Adani's aircraft. Likewise Anil Ambani's firm was favoured, despite having zero experience, over the public sector HAL in the Rafale deal, in what must surely constitute the clearest possible example of cronyism imaginable. Similarly, the public sector BSNL is being run to the ground, in order to create, by all accounts, a monopoly for Mukesh Ambani's Jio. These houses in short are the specially favoured ones.
The conceptualisation of the corporate-financial oligarchy as a totality should not come in the way of our also seeing the differences and hence the contradictions that exist within it. Rahul Bajaj's open criticism of the government at a business gathering where Amit Shah was present, which earned him the ire of numerous BJP trolls, has to be seen in this context. The Indian fascistic regime is thus showing the same characteristics that such regimes have always displayed in history.


UK parliamentary report says head of News Corp showed "willful blindness" over phone hacking at the News of the World.
A British parliamentary report has said that media mogul Rupert Murdoch showed "willful blindness" over phone hacking at his News of the World tabloid and is not fit to run a major company.
"We conclude, therefore, that Rupert Murdoch is not a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company," the cross-party culture committee said on Tuesday in its long-awaited report on the scandal.
"[The Murdochs] brought shame on our police force and our parliament. They lied and cheated, blackmailed and bullied. And we should all be ashamed when we think how we cowered before them for so long."
"News International and its parent News Corporation exhibited willful blindness, for which the companies' directors, including Rupert Murdoch and James Murdoch, should ultimately take responsibility," the committee said in its 121-page report.
"If at all relevant times Rupert Murdoch did not take steps to become fully informed about phone-hacking, he turned a blind eye to what was going on in his companies and publications," it said.
Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee, reporting from London, said the report leaves Murdoch's corporate future in question, specifically, his company's bid to take over BSkyB, Britain's biggest satellite TV firm.
"It may be that BSkyB is the first thing that's hived off by the Murdochs to try and save what's left of their corporate reputation," said Lee.
The committee, which approved the report by a majority of six to four, scolded News Corporation for misleading the British parliament and trying to cover up illegal phone hacking at the tabloid, News of the World, which Murdoch closed down in disgrace in July last year.
News Corporation responded to the report in a written statement on Tuesday, saying that it revealed "hard truths" - among them, that the company's "response to the wrongdoing was too slow and too defensive".
But the statement also brought up the partisan politics within the committee, pointing to the fact not all of the committee's findings were unanimous and that they were divided "along party lines".
Murdoch and his son, James Murdoch, who was News International's executive chairman at the time, both gave evidence to the committee on July 19 last year, when Murdoch senior was attacked with a foam pie by a protester.
James was forced to resign as executive chairman in February last year. He later also stepped down as chairman of BSkyB, but remains on its board.
The committee's report, entitled "News International and Phone-Hacking", said senior executives at the company had misled their investigation.
The panel said it was now for parliament's lower House of Commons to decide "what punishment should be imposed" on those it thinks have treated the committee with contempt.
The report singled out former News International executive chairman Les Hinton, former News of the World legal manager Tom Crone and the newspaper's final editor Colin Myler as having misled the committee.
The Murdochs blamed Crone and News of the World former editor Colin Myler for the scandal.
Labour MP Tom Watson, himself a target of phone hacking, held Rupert Murdoch chiefly responsible.
"More than any individual alive, he's to blame. Morally, the deeds are his. He paid the piper, and he called the tune," said Watson.
"It is his company, his culture, his people, his business, his failure, his lies, his crimes, the price of profits and his power."
Watson added that the Murdochs "brought shame on our police force and our parliament. They lied and cheated, blackmailed and bullied. And we should all be ashamed when we think how we cowered before them for so long".
Rupert Murdoch apologised for the scandal but told the Leveson inquiry into press ethics last week that "one or two very strong characters" at News International had hidden the hacking scandal from him.
His 39-year-old son has also apologised for failing to get to the bottom of the scandal but said he was kept in the dark by staff at the paper.


Justin and Annie are joining forces again. This time they want to write a book about the town of Finley. The only problem is that people who once talked freely about their experiences with the ghost of Amos Hargrove and his search for his love Finley, are no longer free with their stories. It appears that nobody wants the specialness of Finley to be passed on to others outside of their town.
This is the 7th installment of the Forever Finley Short Story Cycle. I've loved all of them and can't wait for each month to come for a new installment. We were introduced to Justin and Annie in another installment so it was fun catching up with them and learning another piece of the puzzle that makes the town of Finley so special.


….I am shoe addict. I love, love, love shoes. I have 83 pairs that I wear and 100+ (rare Adidas) unworn collection. For sneakers, I love Adidas Superstars - rare stuff, not off the rack - and for dress shoes I absolutely adore Jeffery West and occasionally Melvin & Hamilton amongst others. Having built a scientific model to help people grow revenue is one thing but focusing it on a world you love makes it ten times more fun (and easier!). And YES, I can help any shoe brand sell more, and yes, I would take payment in shoes (Blake Stitched please, Mr West).
Berlin A place that is growing in demand for weekends away, Berlin has it going on. Let's see if the shoes matchup to the nightlife.
Post by chris.ruff Love this style; a pair of shoes should be part of the outfit not an afterthought and Chris knows this. Wow!
Post by fashiongirlsay Glow on glow, nails matching the sneaks, love it!
Post by urealbimbo Does this not make you smile and want to know more? Is that not the gift of the best imagery? Intrigue wins and making people feel happy is a double win.
Hong Kong As unique and crazy party place as you can imagine, the shoes must match up?
Post by andrewkaylasports Ok, boy is it cool, and cool makes us wanna find out more which makes us see more pictures and makes us buy!
Post by mrs.cookies Tone on tone on tonal on tonal treasure chest. Hermes demands the best and Mrs Cookies (great handle) nailed it.
Post by 3be.3be_ll This is a gorgeous background which accentuates the look and the raised heel (even with flats) is super cute and draws the eye to the style.
Post by fancyfranzi90 Fancy Franzi indeed! Like the most gangsta slippers you ever could see. I 'heart' them.
Post by glamstiletto Monochrome delight with a nice 50's pastel background to make you feel at ease and draw attention to those heels. My god that will take some massage the night after the day before.
Post by glamstiletto A 2nd win (from 26,000 posts of Milan) by Glam Stiletto. It is just so Roman Gladiator meets modern chic meets killer style.
The Science Part If there were a science to deal with shoe addiction then please share it with me, otherwise the thing about shoes which is very unique in the fashion world is how personal shoe selection is to the person buying them. The reason for picking such a broad range in this article was to demonstrate that beauty is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to shoes. Now don't get me wrong, like everything there need to be standards. All of the images tested high in our model but one image will not suit all types of people and being aware of this is the key to selling shoes, so connect with your target market and don't be afraid to be bold like our nine winners for great results. This makes all the difference; In one live example we had a recent result of 547% above market average clicks on adverts for a client.
Which location wins? Milan takes it, just, but it was much closer than Pocket Squares and Necklaces. Our model had it super close (12 point scoring system) but this is an opinion piece so I say Milan wins and mainly because of the range and boldness. Props to Hong Kong and Berlin as I'd buy all the shoes (I'd gift the ladies pairs).
Yours Shoe Addict P.S. If you or someone you knows wants to sell more just go here for a free one pager report just for them, personal to them, like fashion should be.

Can Parents Be Too Supportive?
Teachers think so, at least in this study of third graders. But the issue may be trickier than that.
Parenting a kid who's expressing his or her anger or frustration is always tricky — you want to be supportive and let your kid know it's ok to have these feelings, while trying to help them calm down.
But validating kids' feelings is more complicated than it seems, a new study suggests. Even though parents may feel it helps their child's social development, the child's teacher may disagree.
The authors of the new study wanted to look at how the different strategies of dealing with kids' negative emotions affect their social-emotional development. They define "supportive reactions" from parents as those that both acknowledged the children's negative emotions and the reasons for them. "Non-supportive reactions" were those in which parents tried to deny, minimize or punish children's negative emotions.
The best advice is probably to validate your kids' feelings while still asking them — and helping them — to bring their emotions under control.
Because parents' and teachers' opinions of social development in a child are known to not always be in perfect agreement, the team wanted to see how each would rate a child's social-emotional development.
All the kids in the study were in the third grade. Parents filled out questionnaires to understand how supportive or non-supportive they were when their kids were experiencing negative emotions. They combined problem-focused reactions ('help my child think of places he/she hasn't looked yet') and emotion-focused reactions ('distract my child by talking about happy things'). They also had the parents themselves rate their child's social-emotional development, and they had the children's teachers rate it.
It turned out that the more supportive a parent's reactions, the better the child's social-emotional development — when rated by the parents. But when rated by the child's third grade teacher, parental support for negative emotions didn't help. In fact, these children were rated by their teachers as having less social-emotional development, and more social-emotional problems.
"It's not clear if the parents are causing these problems by hovering or providing too much support when less support is needed, if the parents are rightfully providing more support because their children are experiencing these social and emotional problems, or if the children are exhibiting very different emotional and social behaviors at home than they are at school," said study author, Vanessa Castro, in a news release.
It could be that more supportive parents are being supportive because the child is already having more social-emotional problems. Or, as the authors write, "mothers' over-supportiveness may contribute to children's social and emotional maladjustment over time." Or it could be that parental support helps kids regulate themselves at home, but not at school, where they may have more trouble.
It's also possible that parents and teachers simply have different ways of rating kids. "Parents may, for example, evaluate a child's current behavior with respect to the child's previous behavior and at younger ages," write the authors. "In contrast, teachers may evaluate a child's behavior relative to the many other same-age students in a given classroom or across classrooms."
More research needs to be done to understand all the effects of distinct parenting methods, and particularly the different perceptions between parents and teachers, but the study certainly gives parents some things to think about — how our reactions help shape our kids' abilities to deal with their own emotions, both at home and outside it.
If your child is having significant behavioral or emotional problems, it's probably best to consult a professional. But if it's the everyday emotional reactions that all parents deal with, frustrated desires for screen time, junk food or whatever, the best advice is probably to validate your kids' feelings while still asking them — and helping them — to bring their emotions under control.
The study was carried out by a team at Northwestern University and published in the journal Social Development.
