Nigerian Terrorist

One terrorist was identified as Abdul Mudallad Nigeria is the air to fly a passenger plane on arrival in the United States.

I just want a short answer because the details would have been even more light on the facts (and even increase precedent) a.

But I want to ensure to all friends of Nigeria and Nigerians that this is a totally isolated incident. Nigerians are not terrorists. Nigeria is a country where Islam and Christianity are the dominant religions. Muslims are concentrated in the north and Christian south.

Religious riots are common in the northern and sporadically in the South, but primarily to overcome our differences and try to live in peace. It is difficult because of poverty and ignorance, especially in the northern part, where it is relatively easier to win, people to violence or violence.

Nigerians are generally peace loving, warm, friendly and very tolerant. When a Nigerian is like a terrorist, mainly due to ignorance and personal ideology captured as a single mode. We are not terrorists and we have no intention of a terrorist nation. Although it can infiltrate northern Nigeria, was not established that such an ideology is accepted.

I will certainly try to write more, about these details is also developed. And this particular event is one off my shift in focus of my blog. I never thought the day comes that I will write about terrorism in my blog. But the day is here taken as "Nigeria" Abdul Mudallad and is a very ill-conceived attempt to give the rest of us a bad name.

To ensure that the press in Nigeria, an independent report about the incident, and we have something we can do to restore our image: Nigeria is a country of terrorists!

Scientists capture world's first images of baby coelacanth fish

Scientists have captured the world's first images of a baby coelacanth - an extremely rare type of fish known as a 'living fossil'.

Japanese marine researchers have found and successfully filmed the young fish at a depth of 528ft in Manado Bay off Sulawesi Island, Indonesia.

Video footage shows the 12.6-inch coelacanth, coloured blue with white spots, swimming slowly among rocks on the seabed for about 20 minutes.

As far as we know, it was the first ever video image of a living juvenile coelacanth, which is still shrouded in mystery,' said Masamitsu Iwata, a researcher at Aquamarine Fukushima in Iwaki, northeast of Tokyo.
Scientists hope the discovery will shed light on the habitat and breeding habits of coelacanths.

The researchers used a remotely operated, self-propelled vehicle to film the coelacanth, which appeared to be newly born, Iwata said.

A similar-sized juvenile was once discovered in the belly of a pregnant coelacanth. It is believed that their eggs hatch inside the female and the young fish are fully formed at the time of birth.

Coelacanths are commonly regarded as having evolved little from prehistoric times and were thought to be extinct until a living specimen was discovered in 1938 off the coast of southern Africa.

Detroit Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings were embroiled in a tough playoff series with the Anaheim Ducks last spring and needed a clutch goal on home ice to win Game 7 and avoid getting upset.
Detroit looks to continue its home dominance of Anaheim on Saturday night when the teams meet for the first time this season.
The Detroit Red Wing (9-5-3) lost in seven games to Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup finals last June after winning it the previous year.
One of the team’s second-seeded Detroit eliminated to reach the finals was eighth-seeded Anaheim (6-8-3) and it took bitter semifinals series stretched to its maximum to determine the winner.
That series included five games that were decided by one goal with Dan Cleary's score with 3 minutes to play in Game 7 securing a 4-3 win and a third consecutive trip to the conference finals for the Red Wings.
Detroit struggled at the start of this season, going 3-4-2 before turning things around with a 6-1-1 stretch after beating Vancouver 3-1 on Thursday. That came a night after a 9-1 victory at Columbus, a Central rival along with Chicago which is challenging the Wings' run of eight consecutive division titles.
"We aren't winning games in the same fashion that we used to, that's pretty obvious," coach Mike Babcock said. A visit by the Ducks could help the Red Wings continue their strong play. They're 24-3-0 with three ties against them all-time during the regular season at Joe Louis Arena.
Osgood is 6-3-2 with 2.77 goals-against average and a shutout, while posting a 14-2-0 mark with a tie and a 2.48 GAA in 17 games, including six in the postseason, against the Ducks. If Osgood is unable to play, Jimmy Howard would face Anaheim for the first time.
Howard won the last two games while stopping 56 of 58 shots, improving to 3-2-1 with a 2.66 GAA in seven appearances.
The Ducks dropped to 0-1-1 on a four-game trip after falling 3-2 in a shootout at Columbus on Friday.
"We are desperate for a win on the road," Coach Randy Carlyle said. "I didn't think we played that poor a hockey game. It's not easy to win on the road."
While Anaheim is struggling, Corey Perry has been one of the few bright spots. The right wing ranks among the league leaders with 12 goals and 21 points, failing to record a point in only three games.
Perry, though, has just three goals and five assists in 15 games against the Red Wings. Todd Merchant scored his second goal of the season Friday. The veteran center came up big in the playoffs against Detroit last spring, scoring in the third overtime to clinch a 4-3 win at Joe Louis in Game 2.

Buffalo Wild Wings

The Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant at the Atlantic Terminal mall had been trying for three weeks to address growing crowds of kids coming out for the Tuesday night 50-cent wings special, a top executive said in a telephone interview today.

But a confluence of forces — the restaurant’s location in a major transportation hub, the ability of social networking to rally people, and the interest of a large number of kids wanting to gather on the night before a school holiday — all combined to set the stage for the violence that broke out later that night in nearby Fort Greene, he said.

“It’s sort of a perfect storm, it’s very unfortunate,” said Michael Mehiel, the chief operating officer for Four M Capital LLC, the New York area franchisee for the Buffalo Wild Wings chain.
Last night, Mr. Mehiel sent an e-mail announcing that the Flatbush Avenue restaurant’s Tuesday night Buffalo Wild Wings special will be indefinitely canceled. But in the interview, Mr. Mehiel said the restaurant’s bargain night was “used as a flag.”

Mr. Mehiel said the restaurant, and the Atlantic Terminal mall, had been ramping up its security in the weeks leading up to Tuesday night’s events. Since then, he said, there have been “zero instances of violence in the restaurant.”

However, the crowds continued to grow in the mall. He said the mall increased security, and the restaurant added a fifth guard. On Monday, after they picked up the chatter on social networking sites over the weekend, encouraging Brooklyn’s teenagers to come to Tuesday night’s special, they informed the 88th Precinct, he said.

On Tuesday, the NYPD sent “a large detail to the mall,” he said, but “unfortunately this incident occurred.” Three teenagers were shot in two separate incidents related to groups of roving teens, but none suffered life-threatening injuries. (88th Precinct detectives have asked for witnesses to come forward.)

Mr. Mehiel said there have been no other incident like this in any of the franchise’s other restaurants. But the Atlantic mall restaurant is unusual, he said, in that “it is in an enormous transportation hub. Capt. Anthony Tasso, commanding officer of the 88th Precinct, said Wednesday in an e-mail that, “None of the involved individuals were from Clinton Hill, Fort Greene.”

As for criticism of the restaurant by Council Member Letitia James, he said he is not interested in picking a fight with her.

'Naked' scanner in airport trial

According to a scanner that produces the "naked" images of passengers has begun on the airport in Manchester.

Authorities say speed up security checks before revealed no hidden weapons or explosives.

However, full-body scanners will also appear breast augmentation, piercings and a clear black and white outlines of the genitals of passengers.

The airport has insisted that the pictures are not pornographic and is immediately destroyed.

Sarah Barrett, director of customer experience at the airport, said most passengers do not like the traditional pat down "from the search.

At Terminal 2, Manchester Airport, which introduced the machine, passengers no longer need to pull their coats, shoes and belts, and go through security checks.

Ms Barrett said: "This scanner has completely removed the dispute to undress."

Ms Barrett said the black-and-white image, and will only be seen by an officer in a remote location before deleting.

"The images are not erotic or pornographic, and can not be stored or captured in any way," he said.

The passengers could refuse to be scanned, he added.

The scan costs £ 80,000 per. They work by transmitting electromagnetic waves to passengers when standing represented at a booth. A virtual three-dimensional image is then created from the reflected energy.

Ms Barrett said radiation has been "super safe".

She said: "The passengers can go through this machine is 5000 times per year to each without looking back. The amount of transmitted radiation is making very small."

The Transportation Department will decide whether permanently installed in a period of one year.

The scanner, made by Rapiscan Systems, has already been tried at Heathrow Airport between 2004 and 2008.

A spokesman for BAA Heathrow said that the technology was "very effective" and the airport operator was taking into account a possible further use in the future.

The scans will be rolled out gradually to the airports in the U.S., after use in Los Angeles and New York.

Indonesian Super League Ready To Become One Of Asia's Biggest - Asian Debate

Indonesia Super League this season and expects a new Asia editor John Duerden wonders how far one can go forward ...

October 12, 2009 2:57:52
2. October was the date "batik in Indonesia. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono urged his countrymen to take the dress to remember the day when UNESCO officially his handmade shirts representative list of intangible heritage of humanity.

Given the disputes with Malaysia, to which countries could make a claim on his shirt, looked as if the whole of Jakarta had responded to the request and on a street where they were greeted by a group of batik.
Also in force at the offices of PSSI, Indonesian Football Association. The Board of Directors in the life of the bowels of the Soviet-designed Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, and his house is a maze of brown and beige (not as colorful as the batik), large offices, small nooks and crannies.

Compared with some of the office bright and fresh that some of the partnerships in Asia to call home, the place a little dated, but the fact appears that the curve fits follow corridors of one of the best football fields in Asia, an authentic atmosphere, not easily found elsewhere.

The same applies to the passion that Indonesia has for the beautiful game and before the new season began to come true last weekend, it's a real sense that football in the vast archipelago's people.

Indonesia Super League has not only the one to watch in Southeast Asia, is still the league's representative in the region and the space to play, despite the progress made by the leagues in Vietnam and Thailand.

Like most have in the region, Indonesia, a fan of football, but fans of Sumatra, Java and other countries are equally at home just a PSM Makassar like Manchester United. The rival league of the greats in the West - including the Series A, which is still very popular - and there is little to the snobbery of the national scene, which may exist elsewhere.

One such place is certainly fighting and football in Singapore these days in the shadow of the big neighbor to the south. S-League stars such as Noh Alam Shah and Alexander Duric have the short trip across the street from Singapore, attracted by the opportunity for a large number of people playing.

You are not alone, partly due to the fact that Indonesia will allow each team of three foreign players and two in Asia - the league is probably the most cosmopolitan city on the continent. Persija Jakarta has a pair of Singapore and Baihakki Khaizan Mustafic Fahruddin during Bandung have Persib Thailand goalkeeper Kosin Viwatchaichok Rangsan Hathairatanakool and compatriot.

These new players did not disappoint with an excellent first day of the season. More than 40,000 were in Balikpapan Bandung see Persib Persib 2-0 defeat. More than 50,000 watched Persija Jakarta Arema Malang 1-0.

It helps with the local authorities in silence, as satisfied with their work. Despite the lack of official data, the PSSI General Secretary Nugraha Beso assured me that the average attendance in the league than the traditional big leagues in Asia including South Korea, China, Saudi Arabia and Iran - just before Japan and maybe not for long.

There are still problems, of course, would not be a season of Indonesia, if all went well. Crowd problems raises its ugly head from time to time - that has the clubs are forced to play away from home in front of empty stadiums.

The teams have been known to walk out of the court, when decisions against them and the police are reluctant to get involved with the device as well. Elections last year, it was not possible, the authorities in Jakarta after month games, and games can change everything at any time - the season curtain raising, the Community Shield pulled out of the Bung Karno Gelora weeks past.

You can not write about football in Indonesia, not to mention the word c - even though the PSSI insist that corruption is declining.

However, with a growing realization among administrators, which is the interest of the league to build something.

If the costumes / batik can live up to their words of support have become the league in every way and make sure that the rule begins to be outside the field to equal the passion in him to Indonesia Super League could be the first Southeast Asia from the region .

OtoMagz flying car

This is a powerful solution for people who do not like traffic jams in big cities like Jakarta and Surabaya. A technology company in Woburn, Massachusetts, USA, manufactures flying cars in most of this year.

The Transition flying car has been named. In the U.S., goods to U.S. $ 170,000 (Rp 1.7 billion euros) was estimated to have already exhausted, but not ready yet occurred. The price is obviously too expensive for the few rich people in Indonesia to move taking into account the number of luxury cars in Jakarta. The transition could be two people. Its speed of about 185 kilometers per hour while flying in the air.

To lose weight requires removal preparation of approximately 520 meters, but only a few hundred meters to the landing. The changes in the type of fixed-to-flight mode can be performed simply by pressing a button in the cockpit.

Propeller, which is used if the flight mode on security, which is the key to fixed mode to use. To save it, do not need space for a hangar. Can be stored in the garage, because their wings can be folded.

With dimensions of 2.1 meters, 2 meters wide and 5.7 meters long when folded, the transition will be less than full-size SUVs like the Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator. However, one can ask for that vehicle. You need to have a pilot license if you want to buy it. Want to try?
