YAHOO DEAL
David Karp – Yahoo Deal
Over the weekend, the Board of Directors of Yahoo! Inc. approved a deal which will allow them to acquire the social network Tumblr for $1.1 billion IN CASH. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has been aggressively trying to close the Tumblr deal for the last six weeks. This acquisition is part of Mayer's strategy to go after a younger, hipper, mobile friendly audience. It comes on the heels of last month's $30 million acquisition of Summly, a mobile text summarization app that was created two years ago by a 15 year old in his childhood bedroom. Following suit, Tumblr's CEO David Karp is a 26 year old high school drop out who built the social blogging platform while still living at his mother's New York City apartment back in 2007.
7 vragen over het nieuwe dodelijke coronavirus
© AFP
Coronavirussen zijn naast rhinovirussen de veroorzakers van een groot percentage van alle gewone verkoudheden bij volwassenen. Zij veroorzaken over het algemeen in de winter en vroeg in de lente een verkoudheid. Het coronavirus is ook de boosdoener van verschillende ziektes bij dieren.
Wat is de link met SARS?
Een bekende ziekte veroorzaakt door een coronavirus is SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). De SARS-epidemie maakte tussen 2002 en 2003 meer dan 800 slachtoffers.
Wat is MERS?
Het nieuwe coronavirus, dat nu voor heel wat beroering zorgt door de dood van een Fransman, kreeg van de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie WHO de naam Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) omdat het ontstaan is in het Midden-Oosten. Het is een nieuw coronavirus dat ontdekt werd door dr. Ali Mohamed Zaki in een ziekenhuis in Jeddah in Saoedi-Arabië.
Is MERS gevaarlijk?
Op 29 mei 2013 waren er wereldwijd 49 gevallen van MERS bij de WHO gemeld, waarvan 27 met dodelijke afloop, vooral in Saoedi-Arabië. Volgens de WHO vormt het virus een ‘bedreiging voor de hele wereld’, waarmee de organisatie bedoelt dat het niet een fenomeen is wat één land op zichzelf kan oplossen. Maar voorlopig is MERS nog een medisch mysterie. De WHO roept daarom alle landen ter wereld op om samen te werken om het virus te bestuderen en aan te pakken.
Waar en bij wie komt MERS voor?
MERS is ontstaan in het Midden-Oosten, waar dus de meeste patiënten voorkomen. Er zijn ook gevallen van MERS in Frankrijk, Duistland en het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Alle Europese gevallen hebben in ieder geval een directe of indirecte link met het Midden-Oosten. In Frankrijk stierf een patiënt die het virus had opgelopen tijdens een reis naar het Midden-Oosten.
Het lijkt erop dat de ziekte voorkomt bij oudere mannen met andere medische aandoeningen. Dat laatste speelt volgen de WHO mogelijk een rol in de overdracht van het virus.
Wat zijn de symptomen van MERS?
Het virus doet zich voor als een verkoudheid en valt het ademhalingssysteem aan. Symptomen als koorts en hoesten kunnen leiden tot een longontsteking en nierfalen. Mogelijk kan er ook diarree optreden. De Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie weet nog niet hoe het virus zich verspreidt, dus ook niet hoe mensen het oplopen. Daarom is het voorlopig moeilijk om het virus te bestrijden.
Hoe wordt MERS genezen?
Er bestaat geen behandeling voor MERS. Er is ook geen vaccin. Zoals altijd gelden traditionele voorzorgsmaatregelen zoals een goede handhygiëne om de ziekte te voorkomen. (TE)

Young Kids, Hard Time (Director's Cut)
http://youtu.be/g3lw6PMjj40
Behind every crime headline there is mountain of tragedy for everyone involved. Wabash Valley Correctional Facility in Southwestern Indiana is a vault for these headlines. Twenty one hundred prisoners locked up for everything from rape to murder.
Wabash is also unlike any other adult prison in the state of Indiana. It is home to a cell-block of 53 kids sentenced as adults, who aren’t even close to being ready for what lies behind the bars.
Fifteen year old Colt Lundy is at the start of thirty year prison sentence for conspiracy to commit murder and a shooting death of his stepfather. He and a twelve year old accomplice were caught in Illinois after the boys fled in the victim’s car. What would drive two kids, neither of whom ever had a brush with the law, to commit such an unthinkable act?

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:
FREEDOM
Cowardice asks the question: IS IT SAFE?
Expediency asks the question: IS IT POLITIC?
Vanity asks the question: IS IT POPULAR?
But conscience asks the question: IS IT RIGHT?
And there comes a time, when one must take a position, neither SAFE, nor POLITIC, nor POPULAR; but one must take a position, because it is RIGHT.

Beautiful Rant By Adam Curry About How Fake the Sandy Hook Shooting Is, The No Agenda Show
Culture in Decline: War on Nature
War. We love it, right. Blowing stuff up, watching people suffer and die… it’s exciting. Violence, domination, retribution and other attributes of this competitive “warring” fascination clearly dominates our media with films, television and other expressions constantly glorifying and reinforcing this gesture of conflict.
In fact, it has been found that by the time an average kid reaches the age of fourteen, in the west, he or she has visually witnessed over 8000 depicted acts of murder.
So given all this it might make you wonder, does art imitate life, or does life imitate art. Likewise isn’t it interesting how most of the people in America sleep quite well at night while their military forces routinely invade, slaughter and steal from other nations at will, as of course all global empires have done historically.
This time the global civilian death toll is well over one million in the past decade alone, many of them women and children, and yet the same American culture shutters in horror and confusion when some dude stumbles into an American school yard and randomly wipes out a couple dozen or so kids.

Damocracy
It records the priceless cultural and natural heritage the world would lose in the Amazon and Mesopotamia if two planned large-scale dams are built, Belo Monte dam in Brazil, and Ilisu dam in Turkey.
Damocracy is a story of resistance by the thousands of people who will be displaced, and a call to world to support their struggle.
The documentary is an excellent primer on the problems posed by mega-dam projects anywhere in the world, from their environmental and social impacts (including a greater global warming impacts than coal plants) to the way they are forced through over widespread opposition by affected communities, often by means of shady legal tactics.

The Food Speculator
Increasing food prices are increasingly causing unrest in the world. It was no coincidence that when the Arab Spring first began Tunisian protesters attacked the order police with baguettes.
Is there just not enough food for so many people, or are the price increases caused by speculators, looking for quick profits?
Backlight tries to find an answer by doing a little food speculation of its own. A quest that leads us to places including the streets of Tunisia and the Chicago Stock Exchange.

Thailand: A Year of Living Dangerously
For two months anti-government protesters, the so-called red shirts, had taken over key parts of downtown Bangkok, demanding for Abhisit Vejjajiva, the country’s current prime minister, to step down, dissolve parliament, and call fresh elections.
The sit-ins had paralyzed Bangkok and threatened to rock the Thai economy, which is the second largest in Southeast Asia.
The red shirts have been calling for Abhisit’s resignation since he came to power in 2009 – after Thaksin Shinawatra, the country’s populist prime minister, was ousted in a bloodless military coup in 2006.

Statin Nation: The Great Cholesterol Cover-Up
We are told that cholesterol is a major cause of heart disease. At least 40 million people are currently taking cholesterol-lowering medications, known as statins, and millions more people are avoiding foods that contain saturated fat and cholesterol.
The basic idea is that dietary saturated fat raises cholesterol levels, and these two substances somehow clog-up our arteries, causing a heart attack.
This idea is often referred to as the diet-heart hypothesis. However, a numbers of doctors and researchers have been challenging this hypothesis for decades, and the latest heart disease statistics reveal some alarming facts.
Cholesterol-lowering has become a huge global industry, generating at least $29 billion each year. Have the facts about heart disease, cholesterol and cholesterol medications been distorted by pharmaceutical companies and food manufacturers keen to increase their profits?

Turlock
When officials discovered the farm, 17,000 hens had starved to death. State officials began gassing the remaining live birds.
Animal Place was the first rescue agency to learn of this tragedy. It took hours of negotiations but finally Animal Place and two other sanctuaries were given legal custody of hens state veterinarians deemed healthy enough to survive long-term.
Over two days, they spearheaded their largest rescue operation saving the lives of 4,460 hens. Of those hens, Animal Place took in 4,100.

Aghet: A Genocide
Aghet is a powerful documentary, depicting the annihilation of 1.5 million Armenians from 1915-1923 and the effects of the Turkish government’s international campaign of genocide denial.
The film highlights the Turkish authorities’ current policy of those crimes. Award-winning director Eric Friedler assembles an impeccable cast, who bring to life the original text of German and U.S. diplomatic dispatches and eyewitness accounts, interspersed with never-before-seen footage of the Genocide and its political aftermath.
Using the actual words of 23 German, American and other nationals who witnessed the events, and armed with archival materials, Aghet expertly takes on the challenge that PM Erdogan hurled at the world by stating: “Prove it.”
The film, applauded by Nobel Prize laureate Gunter Grass, has sparked debate throughout Europe.

5 complottheorieën over het klimaat
© Justin Hobson, Wikicommons
De Amerikaanse radiopresentator Alex Jones suggereerde na de orkaan in de Amerikaanse staat Oklahoma van 20 mei dat de Amerikaanse overheid weleens de boosdoener zou kunnen zijn geweest. Jones sloot niet uit dat er ook natuurlijke tornado’s bestaan, maar beweerde wel dat ‘ze’ – mits de juiste weersomstandigheden – ‘hun weerwapens kunnen gebruiken om groepen tornado’s te creëren en besturen’.
2. Straf voor homoseksualiteit
Volgens Fred Phelps jr., lid van de fundamentalistische Westboro Baptist Chuch, is het geen toeval dat Oklahoma net nu door een tornado getroffen werd. Phelps twitterde daags na de ramp dat God de staat op die manier straft voor Jason Collins, de NBA-speler die zich onlangs outte als homo. Onrechtstreeks weliswaar, want Collins komt uit Californië en speelt voor Washington. Het was NBA-collega Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder) die met zijn steunbetuiging voor Collins de emmer deed overlopen, aldus Phelps.
3. Regenboogvlaggen veroorzaken natuurrampen
De Amerikaanse televisiepredikant Pat Robertson waarschuwt al langer voor een link tussen homoseksualiteit en natuurfenomenen. Zo ook toen de Amerikaanse stad Orlando in Florida in 1998 aankondigde regenboogvlaggen te zullen ophangen in de straten naar aanleiding van de jaarlijkse ‘Gay Days’ in pretpark Disney World. Robertson noemde de beslissing onverstandig, en voorspelde ‘terreurbommen, aardbevingen, tornado’s en mogelijk een meteorietinslag’.
4. Klimaatopwarming is een links complot
Jim Inhofe, senator voor Oklahoma, verweet de Amerikaanse media enkele jaren zich schuldig te maken aan ‘klimaatporno’. Hij ziet daarin een links complot met als voornaamste doel het installeren van een systeem van ‘global governance’. De Republikein vergeleek in het verleden milieubewegingen en het Amerikaanse milieuagentschap EPA met respectievelijk het ‘Derde Rijk’ en ‘de Gestapo’. Hoewel Inhofe regelmatig ‘wetenschappelijk bewijs’ citeert voor zijn stelling, noemt hij zijn overtuigingen vooral Bijbels geïnspireerd.
5. Amerikaans beleid tegenover Israël
‘Wanneer we druk zetten op Israël, leidt dat tot enorme gebeurtenissen, vaak binnen 24 uur.’ Het zijn de woorden van Witte Huis-verslaggever William Koenig. Zo schreef hij Orkaan Sandy, die in 2012 de Amerikaanse Oostkust trof, toe aan het feit dat zowel Republikeinen als Democraten zich daags voordien voor de Tweestatenoplossing uitspraken voor het Israëlisch-Palestijns conflict. In een boek uit 2008 toonde Koenig al een ‘correlatie’ aan tussen natuurrampen en de Israëlretoriek van de voormalige presidenten Bill Clinton en George W. Bush. (JDW)
