Rick Nelson’s story sounds like something that should be written in Old Norse or King James English. Regular language just doesn’t seem to do it justice.

“And lo,” it might read, “he did come across a bear and verily he did smite it. Twice.”

Really. That’s what happened.

Last Sunday, Nelson, 61 was walking in the wilderness outside Sudbury with his wife’s favourite dog, a five-year-old mongrel named Maggie. He had just reached the top of a ravine and tied Maggie to a tree when a bear cub poked its head out of a nearby thicket.

“It makes out its call and my dog went berserk,” Nelson said. “So now I know the mother’s coming.”

Nelson, who boxed as a young man and still trains on a heavy bag, could have scrambled down the cliff and away from the coming bear. But he didn’t think he’d have time to save Maggie. So instead, he stepped in front of the dog and met the mother bear head on, like Douglas greeting Tyson.
Supplied

On Tuesday, Nelson spoke to the National Post about what happened next and what was going through his mind when it did.

NP: Can you describe for me where you were and what you were doing?

Nelson: I was in the Panache region. It’s a hunting area with trails running through the bush. I tied the dog up to a tree and I sat down on a log and ‘pop!’ out comes a cub’s head. Now, I can’t run because I’ve got a cliff behind my back. And I’ve got my dog tied to a tree. And she can’t go down the cliff with me. So all I did was step in front of my dog. And I could hear the bear crashing through the brush to get into the clearing.

NP: Were you consciously thinking through how you were going to react at that point, or was it pure instinct?

Nelson: I was thinking through it enough to look around and see if was there anything I could use as a weapon.

But after that, no, it was pure instinct. So the mother (a black bear Nelson estimates at about 300 pounds) came crashing through and I knew it meant business. This thing didn’t stop. It didn’t stomp. It didn’t snort. It just came straight at me. When it stood up and took its first swing with its left paw, it hooked my front shoulder and as I swung around I went to hit it but I missed because it hit me so hard. I hit it in the lip and teeth, which actually did a lot of damage to my knuckle. And it went down.

NP: Sorry, it went down or you went down?

Nelson: It did. It swung. It went down. I hit it. It came back up again. It swung again, this time with its right paw. And it just vaguely caught my back because I was trying to roll away from it. And that’s what gave me a second shot. This time I used my hand in an uppercut and hit it right in the snout. And it just sat down on its butt.

NP: In that split second after you caught it with the uppercut, what were you thinking?

Nelson: That’s the first moment where I felt fear. Up until then, I just thought, ‘OK, I have to get ready, here it comes’. But in that moment, when it turned around and looked at me, I thought, ‘Ah, shit.’ You know? What’s it going do? But right then the cub called again. And the bear just turned around and walked away, like it had never even met me.

Nelson suffered some minor scrapes and one deeper cut in the fight. He washed his own wounds in a nearby stream and patched one with a bandage. He didn’t go to the hospital. He doesn’t blame the bear, he said. It just did what came naturally.

Nelson: Honestly, a bear attack like I was in, that’s a perfect storm. You just couldn’t get a worse scenario. Just like I was protecting my dog, it was protecting its cub.

>Austria’s Freedom party will get another go at providing the first far-right president in the European Union, after the country’s constitutional court annulled the result of May’s presidential election.

>The court president, Gerhart Holzinger, announced on Friday that the run-off vote, in which Norbert Hofer of the Freedom party (FPÖ) narrowly lost to Green-backed Alexander Van der Bellen, would have to be repeated across the whole country after an investigation revealed irregularities in the count of the vote in several constituencies.

>In a further twist to an already convoluted tale, Hofer will effectively become a de facto president of Austria from next week. Since the incumbent, Heinz Fischer, has to step down from his post on 8 July, his role will temporarily be filled by a triumvirate of the three presidents of the national assembly – one of whom is Hofer.

A Calgary indigenous woman who knocked out a Caucasian woman’s tooth while yelling “I hate white people,” didn’t commit a racially motivated crime, a judge says.

Provincial court Judge Harry Van Harten, in a written decision, said Tamara Crowchief’s motivation for striking Lydia White was not related to racial bias.

Crown prosecutor Karuna Ramakrishnan, who had sought a sentence of 12 to 15 months, argued Crowchief’s unprovoked attack last Nov. 1, amounted to a hate crime.

But Van Harten agreed with defence counsel Adriano Iovinelli that there was insufficient evidence to establish Crowchief attacked White because of the colour of her skin.

Engineers design programmable RNA vaccines: Tests in mice show they work against Ebola, influenza, and common parasite

http://phys.org/news/2016-07-programmable-rna-vaccines-mice-ebola.html

MIT engineers have developed a new type of easily customizable vaccine that can be manufactured in one week, allowing it to be rapidly deployed in response to disease outbreaks. So far, they have designed vaccines against Ebola, H1N1 influenza, and Toxoplasma gondii (a relative of the parasite that causes malaria), which were 100 percent effective in tests in mice.

The vaccine consists of strands of genetic material known as messenger RNA, which can be designed to code for any viral, bacterial, or parasitic protein. These molecules are then packaged into a molecule that delivers the RNA into cells, where it is translated into proteins that provoke an immune response from the host.

In addition to targeting infectious diseases, the researchers are using this approach to create cancer vaccines that would teach the immune system to recognize and destroy tumors.

"This nanoformulation approach allows us to make vaccines against new diseases in only seven days, allowing the potential to deal with sudden outbreaks or make rapid modifications and improvements," says Daniel Anderson, an associate professor in MIT's Department of Chemical Engineering and a member of MIT's Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research and Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES).

Anderson is the senior author of a paper describing the new vaccines in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of July 4, 2016. The project was led by Jasdave Chahal, a postdoc at MIT's Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, and Omar Khan, a postdoc at the Koch Institute; both are the first authors of the paper.

>a molecule that delivers the RNA into cells

a.k.a. a virus.

The technique of using custom-made viruses to deliver custom-made RNA to cells is not that new (and the theory is very old). (Obviously this particular technique with vaccines is new and awesome.)

But just take a second to appreciate this: we stop a disease by infecting people with a virus that we create that injects custom 4-ary code into individual cells that hijacks their machinery to produce a large complex organic molecule with a specific affinity to the agent of said disease.

Shit, it's hard enough writing code to do that to vaccinate a computer network, and that's a million times fewer units and written in a 5th-generation programming language instead of a maze of folded strings of amino acids.

>>55596
True that.

No matter what people say, this will be the future for humanity. After a while we'll stop messing around with viruses, but instead program and edit our own genes.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/23/technology/personaltech/mark-zuckerberg-covers-his-laptop-camera-you-should-consider-it-too.html

>Mark Zuckerberg is one of the most powerful men in the world because billions of people give Facebook, which he founded, free access to their personal data. In return, users receive carefully curated snapshots of his life: baby photos, mundane office tours and the occasional 5K.

>On Tuesday, observers were reminded that Mr. Zuckerberg, 32, is not just a normal guy who enjoys running and quiet dinners with friends. In a photo posted to his Facebook account, he celebrated the growing user base of Instagram, which is owned by Facebook. An eagle-eyed Twitter user named Chris Olson noticed that in the image’s background, his laptop camera and microphone jack appeared to be covered with tape.

>Other publications, including Gizmodo, used the tweet to raise the question: Was this paranoia, or just good practice?

>The taped-over camera and microphone jack are usually a signal that someone is concerned, perhaps only vaguely, about hackers’ gaining access to his or her devices by using remote-access trojans — a process called “ratting.” (Remote access is not limited to ratters: According to a cache of National Security Agency documents leaked by Edward J. Snowden, at least two government-designed programs were devised to take over computer cameras and microphones.)

>Security experts supported the taping, for a few good reasons:

>• The first is that Mr. Zuckerberg is a high-value target.

>“I think Zuckerberg is sensible to take these precautions,” Graham Cluley, an online security expert and consultant, wrote in an email Wednesday. “As well as intelligence agencies and conventional online criminals who might be interested in targeting his billions, there are no doubt plenty of mischievous hackers who would find it amusing to spy upon such a high-profile figure.”

>• The second is that covering photo, video and audio portals has long been a basic and cheap security safeguard.
>>
>“Covering the camera is a very common security measure,” Lysa Myers, a security researcher at the data security firm ESET, said in an email. “If you were to walk around a security conference, you would have an easier time counting devices that don’t have something over the camera.”

>• Third, Mr. Zuckerberg is not immune to security breaches.

>A recent hacking of his Twitter and LinkedIn accounts shows that he most likely committed two basic privacy faux pas: He may have used the same password across several websites and did not use two-factor authentication.

>Judging from his photo, however, it appears that Mr. Zuckerberg was taking simple precautions to protect himself from anyone who may try to gain remote access.

>The practice is fairly technologically simple: Hackers trick people into clicking on links or unfamiliar websites containing malware that allows them access to the devices.

>Mr. Zuckerberg is not the only high-profile case: James Comey, the director of the F.B.I., also puts tape over his computer’s webcam, for surprisingly simple reasons, according to NPR:

>“I saw something in the news, so I copied it,” Mr. Comey said. “I put a piece of tape — I have obviously a laptop, personal laptop — I put a piece of tape over the camera. Because I saw somebody smarter than I am had a piece of tape over their camera.”
>>
>People who are not billionaires or high-ranking government officials are not without risk, said Stephen Cobb, a senior security researcher at ESET.

>“For people who are not C.E.O.s, the threat is people scanning the internet for accessible webcams for a range of motives, from voyeurism to extortion,” Mr. Cobb wrote in an email.

>Experts don’t have a good estimate for how often such attacks occur, but according to a 2015 report released by the nonprofit Digital Citizens Alliance, the practice is a growing problem for consumers, especially young women. The report also said that trojans account for some 70 percent of all malware.

>“They’ve been one of the most popular types of malware on every operating system, for quite a long time,” Ms. Myers, of ESET, said. “The best ways to protect against them are to update all your software on your machine regularly, and use reputable security software, including anti-malware and a firewall.”

Lets Show What we can Do??

Full Story

Doncaster Man with Leukaemia is appealing for people to register as potential blood stem cell donors with the charity DKMS.

The Appeal is being made by 30 year old Naren Rai who needs to find a matching Donor to save his life. He was diagnosed with Leukaemia last September and has been told that he now needs a blood stem cell donation from someone with a matching tissue type to stay alive.

For Many With a Blood Cancer or Blood Disorder, a Blood stem cell donation from another person is their only chance of survival and they WILL die if a matching donor isn't found.
After Negative Matches from Narens family, they are appealing for those aged 17 to 55 to register with DKMS to see if they could save his LIFE, or the LIFE of SOMEONE ELSE in need of a blood stem cell donation.

After finding Negative Matches from Naren's family they are appealing for those aged 17 to 55 to REGISTER WITH DKMS to see if they could save his life.

As his heritage is Nepalese, those with similar heritage are urged to join the registry as this is most likely to produce a Match for him.

Aga Chrosciel, Donor recruitment Manager att DKMS said "Registering as a Donor takes seconds, and could save life."

Please Anons of the world, He has no chance in this area. This takes a world effort. It takes an anonymous effort.

Love Brothers and Sisters.

An Indian temple is infested with more than 20,000 rats and visitors flock from far and wide to worship the rodents normally perceived as the scourge of the earth.

The Karni Mata Temple in remote Deshnoke, Rajasthan is known as the 'Temple of Rats' because it is overrun by the animals which scurry though its stone halls.

The rodents, called kabbas, are revered by both tourists and locals who have gone to great lengths to protect the species by building netting and grills to keep out predators such as raptors.


The rats are seen as holy because legend claims that when the goddess Karni Mata's stepson was reincarnated by Yama, the god of death, he also allowed all of the goddess's children to be reincarnated as rats.

There are conflicting stories behind the legend, and one version alleges that when a 20,000 strong army fled to Deshnoke, a sin punishable by death, Karni Mata showed mercy and turned them into rats instead. In response, the army promised to serve Karni Mata in her temple forever.

Surender Sharma, a visitor, said: This is my first visit to this temple. There is no history of plague in this area, despite the presence of rats for many years. People come here to worship rats as god.'

The rodents move freely within the temple and can be seen eating from a huge metal bowl of milk and grains, placed there daily by devotees.

The food nibbled by the rats is also considered holy and is sometimes consumed by a devotee - even if it has been half eaten by rodents.

Savita Sharma, another visitor, said: 'I keep visiting this temple. The first time I visited this place I was glad to see rats all around. But I did scream out loudly when a rat touched my foot.'

While black and brown rats are easily spotted in the temple courtyard, devotees believe sighting a white rat is a blessing.

One visitor named Mishra said: 'I have come to see rats and white rat is considered lucky. If someone see's a white rat then he or she gets good luck and the blessings of god. I am glad that I have seen a white rat.'
>>
Canadian based photographer, Owen Lin, travelled to the temple to witness the peculiar sight.

He said: 'We went for the spectacle and the oddity of it. We were a little apprehensive about going, because we didn't really know what to expect.

'It was kind of quiet when we got there and we weren't sure it would be worth the trip, but once you went in further and looked around the temple you saw areas of the temple that were infested with rats.

'Personally rats don't scare me, so I wasn't too freaked out, but if you're scared of rats then it's really going to cause you some stress.

'They weren't terribly shy, they didn't seem to care about people too much and they weren't really aggressive.

'They seem to be just trying to eat mainly. Some of them were pretty healthy and some of them looked a little raggedy.'

Even though the explorer saw a few dead rats dotted about, he said the temple was well cared for and was very clean considering its rodent population.


Mr Lin was momentarily concerned about having to remove his shoes, as is customary in Indian temples, but once inside he said there were very few rat droppings.

He added: 'It just sounded outrageous - someone devoting an entire temple to these rats. We were in the area and we just had to go.

'I'm not sure how many people bother going, so it was refreshing to visit a relatively untouched area.'

Currently the temple is mainly visited by worshippers, who place their offerings to the goddess in the centre of the temple - with one man offering a big bottle of alcohol for the goddess.

Priests at the temple treat the furry inhabitants with serious devotion and warn visitors to walk carefully within the temple premises to avoid trampling them.

According to the temple rules, stepping accidentally on rat and killing it is a sin.

The perpetrator is then bound to buy a gold or silver rat statue and place it in the temple as a payment of sin.

Scourge of the earth? Only if you kill off their natural predators like cats. Rats fill a very important part of the food chain. Of course poos take it to a level of obsession that I've never seen before, but they aren't exactly known for their critical thinking.
