Trolling: Who does it and why?

An internet "troll" has been jailed for mocking dead teenagers on various websites. Public figures, including Stephen Fry and Miranda Hart, have also been victims of trolling. So what is it and why do people do it? The word comes from a Norse monster but the troll is a very modern menace. For some it's the internet equivalent of road rage, vandalising a grave, or kicking a man when he's down. Trolling is a phenomenon that has swept across websites in recent years. Online forums, Facebook pages and newspaper comment forms are bombarded with insults, provocations or threats. Supporters argue it's about humour, mischief and freedom of speech. But for many the ferocity ...

A disturbing report prepared by General Alexey Maslov, the Senior Military Representative of the Permanent Mission of Russia to NATO, states that he has been notified by the Americans of their plan to hold a DEFCON 1 “Cocked Pistol” maximum readiness alert drill on 27 September which will be overseen by President Obama at one of the United States most secure bunkers located beneath the Denver International Airport. Under the SALT I Strategic Nuclear Arms Control Agreement signed between Russia and the US, both parties are required to notify the other in all cases of such maximum readiness drills occurring, but are not required to state their reasons for doing so. General Maslov ...

Chinese "inventor" to grow anti-cancer green tea on panda poop
Post Date: 2011-09-13 06:18:04 by Tatarewicz

A college teacher in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, says he wants to grow tea using panda excrement as fertilizer and then sell the leaves for 219,865 yuan ($34,500) per 500 g. An Yanshi has patented his idea with the Sichuan copyright bureau, although he admits he has no idea how he can get his hands on enough panda waste or what effect it will have on the tea. "Excrement is better than chemical fertilizers, and I wanted to use panda feces to produce green tea," he said. "Green tea has properties that can prevent cancer, while bamboo leaf, the staple food for pandas, contains the same ingredient that can combat cancer." He added that, as panda excrement is ...

BEIJING - Chinese police have arrested 32 suspects for producing and selling illegal cooking oil in a cross-province crackdown, the Ministry of Public Security said in a statement Tuesday.

The 32 suspects were caught in a cross-province crackdown launched in mid-July,when police from Zhejiang, Shandong and Henan jointly ...

I'm not sure what they were firing, or who they were firing at, at the beginning. Perhaps the pirates had the Russians "surrounded" and the Russians were firing at a target off camera. I don't know.

Chinese soybean milk machines use carcinogenic lubricant
Post Date: 2011-09-09 06:16:03 by Tatarewicz
0 Comments
Household appliances such as soybean milk machines and juice extractors have been made with industrial lubricant rather than lubricant for food, 21cbh.com reported Thursday, citing a staff with Fuchs Petrolub AG (China). The malpractice is a potential health hazard for customers because industrial lubricant contains carcinogen, a substance linked with causing cancer. "Manufacturers of soybean milk machines, including Joyoung and Midea, are well aware that the lubricant for production is for industrial use. It is only during product examinations from outside agencies that they purchase lubricant for food", the staff said. Suppliers are able to use industrial lubricant because ...

Earth's "surface" gold came from outer space

ScienceDaily (Sep. 7, 2011) — Ultra high precision analyses of some of the oldest rock samples on Earth by researchers at the University of Bristol provides clear evidence that the planet's accessible reserves of precious metals are the result of a bombardment of meteorites more than 200 million years after Earth was formed. The research is published in Nature. During the formation of Earth, molten iron sank to its centre to make the core. This took with it the vast majority of the planet's precious metals -- such as gold and platinum. In fact, there are enough precious metals in the core to cover the entire surface of Earth with a four-metre thick layer. The removal of ...

ZHENGZHOU - Most of the 30 enslaved and abused workers rescued from illegal brick kilns in Central China's Henan province have been unable to give their personal details to police due to their mental illness, public security officials said on Tuesday. Henan police liberated the victims, some of who have worked without pay for more than seven years, in four counties and cities on Sunday. Rescuers struggle to ID disabled kiln slaves However, Liu Weiming, deputy director of publicity in Zhumadian, where 17 mentally ill laborers were rescued from two brick kilns, said the workers are unable to reveal their identities and have been sent to a nearby relief center.

Wikileaks: Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe 'has cancer'
Post Date: 2011-09-06 07:00:03 by Tatarewicz

Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has prostate cancer which has spread to other organs, according to a leaked US diplomatic cable. The cable, published by whistle-blower site Wikileaks, cites central bank governor Gideon Gono as saying Mr Mugabe's doctors had urged him to quit. The cable, written in 2008 by the US embassy in Harare, also says 87-year-old Mr Mugabe could die by 2013. Mr Gono, a staunch ally of Mr Mugabe, dismissed the cable as "fiction". The cable cites Mr Gono as saying the cancer had "metastasized and, according to doctors, will cause his death in three to five years." In an interview with Reuters news agency last September, Mr Mugabe - ...

It's bad enough when your wife divorces you over a lack of sex and the judge rules you "solely responsible." It's worse when she takes you back to court two years later and garners 10,000 euro in damages. But this apparently happened in—where else?—France, where a man known in court documents as Jean-Louis B. was ordered to pay out around $14,000 to his ex, answering the prayers of dozens of stand-up comedians and talk show monologue writers: "The 47-year-old ex-wife then took him back to court demanding 10,000 euros in compensation for "lack of sex over 21 years of marriage". The ex-husband claimed "tiredness and health problems" had ...

Four obese children are on the brink of being permanently removed from their family by social workers after their parents failed to bring their weight under control. In the first case of its kind, their mother and father now face what they call the ‘unbearable’ likelihood of never seeing them again. Their three daughters, aged 11, seven and one, and five-year-old son, will either be ‘fostered without contact’ or adopted.
