The greatest privacy threat of all: our connected devices
Vivek Wadhwa
Smart-television maker Vizio agreed to pay a penalty this month for spying on 11 million customers. According to the Federal Trade Commission, the company captured second-by-second information on what customers viewed, combined it with their gender, age and income, and sold it to third parties.How much was the fine for Vizio, which has sales in excess of $3 billion? It was $2.2 million — barely a slap on the wrist.
These kinds of privacy breaches are increasingly common as billions of devices now become part of the “Internet of Things” (I.o.T.). Whether it be our TV sets, cars, bathroom scales, children’s toys or medical devices, we are already surrounded by everyday objects equipped with sensors and computers. And the companies that make them can get away with being careless with consumer security — and with stealing customer data...https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/greatest-privacy-threat-all-our-connected-devices-vivek-wadhwa?trk=eml-email_feed_ecosystem_digest_01-hero-0-null&midToken=AQGUbaMqMWBmHg&fromEmail=fromEmail&ut=0Xz1e3aj2QpTE1

Trudeau Gives Preference to Islam over all other Religions in Canada - update
By Mitch Wolfe
Trudeau and his Liberals have started a process of developing, issuing and then passing a law which will give preferential treatment to Islam and all followers and adherents of Islam in Canada over all other Canadian religious groups, including Canadian Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs, just to name a few of the major religious faiths practiced in Canada.
Motion M103 was introduced by a Liberal MP backbencher, Iqra Khalid, a Muslim Canadian. This motion has been taken up and defended by the Canadian Heritage Minister Melanie Joly. It is clear Trudeau, the PMO office and the full Liberal Cabinet are strongly behind this very controversial legislative initiative.
The motion calls for the government to (1) recognize the need to quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear and (2) condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination.
This motion further requests the Heritage committee to study the issue and “develop a whole-of-government approach to reducing or eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination including Islamophobia,” and then report its findings to Parliament.http://canadafreepress.com/article/trudeau-gives-preference-to-islam-over-all-other-religions-in-canada#

Julian Assange: ‘When You Read a Newspaper Article, You Are Reading Weaponized Text’
Julian Assange is the founder of Wikileaks and during a recent interview, he discussed the hot-topic of fake news, mainstream media and how Wikileaks data driven approach prevented fake news from being used as “weaponized text” by the MSM.
According to a CNET report, Julian Assange gave an interview via Skype and he discussed with Chas Licciardello, an Australian comedian this week. Wikileaks founder emphasized his refusal to editorialize the leaked content as he prefers to deliver only raw data to the public, thus publishing pure facts without bias.
What’s very special about Wikileaks is their pure data approach and that’s particularly important in the context of fake news. Julian Assange stressed during the interview that:
“What is special about WikiLeaks is that it’s not just another damn story, it’s not just another damn journalist putting their damn byline, advertising themselves and their position on another damn story.
You’re not reading pre-weaponised knowledge. When you read a newspaper article, you are reading weaponised text that is designed to affect a person just like you… I think that is the real beauty of WikiLeaks… it is that sea of information, that treasure, that intellectual treasure, that rebel library of Alexandria you can go into.”...https://www.theissue.com/politics/wikileaks-assange-when-you-read-a-newspaper-article-you-are-reading-weaponized-text

Fisheries minister to announce protection for ancient glass sponge reefs
Federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc is expected to announce today a long-awaited Marine Protected Area for Canada's rare glass sponge reefs, found on the B.C. coast.
The kind of glass sponge found in B.C. was thought to have died off 40 million years ago, before the discovery of fragile living reefs in Hecate Strait, near Haida Gwaii, in 1987.
"The sponge reefs are amongst the most ecologically sensitive and significant parts of the coastline," said LeBlanc on Wednesday.
"We will protect them, and we will protect them in a robust way."

The UAE wants to colonize Mars by 2117
This is not a sci-fi movie.
The United Arab Emirates wants to establish the first “inhabitable human settlement” on planet Mars by 2117. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid said his country will spearhead the “dream” of landing people on other planets.

Fake Photo Story That’s Going Viral

In 2013, a photographer clicked some
photos of cheetahs devouring an impala. In 2017, the photos went viral,

Why? Because internet.
Four

heart-gripping photographs of three cheetahs making a kill of their
prey, a doe-eyed impala that seems to be abnormally calm about the
situation. These incredible photos are suddenly all over the internet

The Lesser-Known History of African-American Cowboys
This image appeared in cowboy Nat Love's privately published autobiography.
(Corbis)
By Katie Nodjimbadem smithsonian.com
One in four cowboys was black. So why aren’t they more present in popular culture?
In his 1907 autobiography, cowboy Nat Love recounts
stories from his life on the frontier so cliché, they read like scenes
from a John Wayne film. He describes Dodge City, Kansas, a town
smattered with the romanticized institutions of the frontier: “a great
many saloons, dance halls, and gambling houses, and very little of
anything else.” He moved massive herds of cattle from one grazing area
to another, drank with Billy the Kid and participated in shootouts with
Native peoples defending their land on the trails. And when not, as he
put it, “engaged in fighting Indians,” he amused himself with activities
like “dare-devil riding, shooting, roping and such sports.”
Though Love’s tales from the frontier seem typical for a
19th-century cowboy, they come from a source rarely associated with the
Wild West. Love was African-American, born into slavery near Nashville,
Tennessee...http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/lesser-known-history-african-american-cowboys-180962144/?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=socialmedia

Yes, Canada’s anti-Islamophobia motion poses a problem - update
By Lorne Gunter , Edmonton Sun
There are two fundamental problems with Liberal MP Iqra Khalid’s Motion 103 calling on the federal government to battle Islamophobia that will likely come up for debate in the House of Commons this coming week.
One concern is practical, the other stems from a dusty old philosophical belief that words can affect ideas and concepts. Used incorrectly for long enough, the wrong words give us bad ideas.
M-103 is mostly politically correct gobbledygook – airy, ill-defined concepts that are hard to disagree with. Indeed, the motion is expected to pass nearly unanimously with all-party support...http://www.torontosun.com/2017/02/11/yes-canadas-anti-islamophobia-motion-poses-a-problem

Mish Michaels isn’t alone: Many meteorologists question climate change science
By David Abel Globe Staff
They observe changes in the atmosphere like astronomers study the stars, analyzing everything from air pressure to water vapor and poring over computer models to arrive at a forecast.
But for all their scrutiny of weather data, many meteorologists part ways with their colleagues — climate scientists who study longer atmospheric trends — in one crucial respect: whether human activity is causing climate change.
Meteorologists are more skeptical than climate scientists, and that division was underscored by the recent departure of Mish Michaels from WGBH News.
Michaels, a former meteorologist at WBZ-TV, lost her job as a science reporter at WGBH’s show “Greater Boston” last week after colleagues raised concerns about her views on vaccines and climate change. She had previously questioned the safety of vaccines and the evidence that human activity was causing global warming, both widely held views in the scientific community....https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/02/13/why-weather-forecasters-question-climate-science/h93iEPs3YSwxPLJ58gWCxJ/story.html

Reviving banishment to protect indigenous communities
Trump is not the only person wanting to "protect the community and provide a safe place for
members." Thomas
Doug Cuthand, Saskatoon StarPhoenix
Back in the day, when an indigenous person committed a serious crime — usually a murder or a sexual assault — elders and band leaders would determine if the person was a threat to the community; if so, he or she would be banished.
The safety and well-being of the band was paramount. This was a serious decision because it almost always meant death for the offender. Back then, people lived together for cooperation and protection from wild animals and enemy tribes. The huge herds of buffalo were preyed on by fearsome predators. Packs of buffalo wolves — larger than timber wolves — followed the herds. Lone predators, including cougars and the plains grizzly, were among the apex killers on the plains.
A lone, unarmed human’s best hope was to run like hell and find another band to live with.

Rise Of The Insect Drones
By Adam Piore
Gung Ho Vids
Image: Insects - Travis Rathbone
Five years ago, Richard Guiler and Tom Vaneck were sitting at a bar a few blocks from their office, trying to take their minds off work. For nearly a year, the two engineers had been struggling to develop a durable drone that could dodge objects, navigate inside buildings, and fly in stormy weather. They’d tried fixed-wing models, but adding enough sensors to effectively detect obstacles made them too heavy to fly. They’d tried helicopters, but the rotors kept getting tangled in branches and electrical wires. They’d even built a motorized balloon; all it took was a gentle gust of wind to blow it off course.
As they sat nursing their beers, Guiler and Vaneck watched as a fly appeared to slam into a window. Instead of breaking apart on contact as their drones did, the insect bounced off the glass and recovered. Then it did it again.
“It was an epiphany,” says Vaneck, who works for the Massachusetts research and development company Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI). “We realized if we could make a manmade system that could hit things, recover, and continue on, that’s a revolution.”
The idea of borrowing designs from nature is far from new, particularly when it comes to flight. The ancient Greeks dreamed up Daedalus, who fashioned wings for his son (which unfortunately worked a little too well). Leonardo da Vinci sketched a human-powered ornithopter. But until recently, inventors lacked the aerodynamics expertise to turn diagrams into mechanical versions of something as quotidian as a fly or a bee. As technology has advanced, scientists have decoded many of nature’s secrets. And engineers have developed the first flying, insect-inspired vehicles, opening the door to an entirely new class of machine: the microdrone.
“Nature has a several-hundred-million-year lead time on us when it comes to great design,” says Peter Singer, a fellow at the Washington, D.C.–based Brookings Institution. “The robots you know tomorrow are going to look like nothing you know today. More likely, they will look like the animals around you.”...http://www.popsci.com/article/technology/rise-insect-drones

On January 23, President Trump re-enacted the Mexico City Policy, an order that ensures U.S. foreign aid will not subsidize abortion overseas. This is leadership on behalf of the voiceless. It is also the fruit of many years of hard work by American pro-lifers.
So how is Canada responding? Shockingly, our federal government is talking with the Netherlands and other nations to step up to the plate and raise $600 million to bail out programs run by International Planned Parenthood Federation!

In Israel, teaching kids cyber skills is a national mission
BEIT SHEMESH (AP) — In some Israeli schools, fourth-graders learn computer programming while gifted 10th-graders take after-school classes in encryption tactics, coding and how to stop malicious hacking. The country even has two new kindergartens that teach computer skills and robotics.
The training programs — something of a boot camp for cyber defense — are part of Israel’s quest to become a world leader in cybersecurity and cyber technology by placing its hopes in the country’s youth.
To that end, Israel announced this week the establishment of a national center for cyber education, meant to increase the talent pool for military intelligence units and prepare children for eventual careers in defense agencies, the high-tech industry and academia.
“You students need to strengthen us with your curiosity,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told an Israeli cyber technologies expo, sitting next to high school students in a training program overseen by the defense establishment. “Your years in the security services will be golden years for the security of the nation.”

Reba McEntire and her fans find faith during hard times with singer's new gospel album
By Sasha Savitsky
Reba McEntire's decision to release her first-ever gospel record could not have come at a better time for the country legend or her fans.
The Country Music Hall of Fame member is releasing "Sing it Now: Songs of Faith & Hope" on Friday, a double album of contemporary and classic gospel tunes. The singer said it was the right time for her to focus on her faith after splitting from husband of 26-year Narvel Blackstock in 2015.
"Because I needed it myself, going through two and half years of changes in my life," McEntire said. "And who better to lean on than God? And that's who I needed to be listening to. And I needed that faith, that faith strengthened, that hope."
McEntire said her fans have also found solace in the album's first single "Back To God" originally recorded by country singer Randy Houser in 2008. Without getting into specifics, the singer touched upon today's political climate under President Donald Trump.
"I'm hearing from people...about how [this song] has touched their heart and about how much we need this song at this time with all the trouble in the United States," the "Fancy" singer told Fox News. "With all the differences of opinions let's just give it back to God. It just seems to be very timely."...http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/02/01/reba-mcentire-and-her-fans-find-faith-during-hard-times-with-singers-new-gospel-album.html

Birth control leader Margaret Sanger: Darwinist, racist and eugenicist
by Jerry Bergman
Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood, the leading organization advocating abortion in the United States today. Darwinism had a profound influence on her thinking, including her conversion to, and active support of, eugenics. She was specifically concerned with reducing the population of the ‘less fit’, including ‘inferior races’ such as ‘Negroes’. One major result of her lifelong work was to support the sexual revolution that has radically changed our society...http://creation.com/margaret-sanger-darwinian-eugenicist

World is a giant hologram, new study reveals. Seriously?
Shelby Lin Erdman - Cox Media Group National Content Desk
It sounds like a surprise ending in a science fiction movie: The
universe is one big hologram and what we think of as reality could be
just an illusion.
But that’s the finding of a new study by a team of international researchers from the United Kingdom, Canada and Italy, among others.
The theory is similar to the science behind watching a 3-D movie. The
images have width, height, and depth, yet the film actually originates
from a 2-D screen, scientists said.
“The idea is similar to that of ordinary holograms where a
three-dimensional image is encoded in a two-dimensional surface, such as
in the hologram on a credit card. However, this time, the entire
universe is encoded," Skenderis said...http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/science/world-giant-hologram-new-study-reveals-seriously/HR6S2jNGs9jx5qP3injnwM/
