Nature writes about an EU-funded pilot programme to let people rent out PDA-based tourist guides with GPS to guide you to the right info.

This is something I keep telling people someone ought to do. Of course the GPS will only work outdoors and away from tall buildings so some may have problems. I suppose art galleries could put in some kind of “auxiliary positioning” system so the devices could know which painting you were stood in front of? Anyone heard of this kind of thing? Hmmm…

BBC News Online working alongside Go Digital, a World Service programme, has produced a series of profiles of how people in Bangladesh and Senegal are putting new technology to use to help the disadvantaged. Not all of these technological experiments will make sense in the long term, but it is good to see people trying…ringtone free nokia polyphonic 228551 squad ringtoneringtone 6010 nokia polyphonicnokia ringtone 6260 polyphonicfree download nokia ringtone 3285ringtone free polyphonic 2260 nokiaring actor ring funny ring ringtonesa55 siemens ringtone Map

UK members of parliament don’t tend to read their email so the web to fax gateway FaxYourMP.com is a real boon in putting constituents in touch with their elected representatives quickly and easily. Unfortunately, MPs don’t always read their faxes either, according to some interesting statistics just published by the site. In fact, the Conservative leader, Iain Duncan Smith joined a rogues gallery of 26 MPs who have not responded to any faxes, including six who have publicly stated they will not respond to any.

I tried to use faxyourmp to contact my own MP, Jeremy Corbyn, some time ago and was among the 75% of faxes sent to him which have remained un-acknowledged…

Overall, 61% of faxes to local were responded to within 14 days (the site’s “cut-off date”).dirty moviesmovies homemade webcamclips porno moviemovie adult free formovie amc theatresmovies kiss girlindian movies sexfuck movies lolita Map

For less than £500 per person, two thousand people in a high rise tower block in Melbourne, Australia are being provided with computers, training and broadband access to email and community services.

It’s too early to tell, but I would hope that with the right community software and appropriate help this could turn out to be a crucial tool to building social capital on the estate and improving both people’s skills and their environment.

The scheme is already up for the Stockholm Challenge Award. The award is interesting in itself as it helps to make prominent examples of good practice from around the world.

A clever bit of lateral thinking to help close the digital divide in rural India – villagers request Internet information from a technician on a motorbike and a day or two later, he returns with the information that he has downloaded.porn 50aim sexporn amatervideo adriana lima sexa tape sex night paris in3d animal sexsex mpegs amateursex 101 great of nights Map

The story of Bangladesh’s poisoned wells is a long sad one, but it looks as if at last there may be a happy ending. Aid agencies found that Bangladeshis didn’t have easy access to clean drinking water, so they helped them to drill wells. Unfortunately, they later found that many of these wells were polluted by arsenic and slowly poisoned the people drinking from them. A variety of alternatives have been sought, but at last I read that a Bangladeshi professor has invented a simple, inexpensive (£3/$5) water filter that should extract arsenic, lead and iron from drinking water. The UN is organizing a campaign to put the filter in all of the wells in the country.

The first example I have come across of its usefulness for crime prevention.

A small town next to a forest preserve, South Orange New Jersey is unique in many respects. Unfortunately for one con man, the town also has one thing many communities don’t: an active virtual community. When a door-to-door salesman’s visit left one resident suspicious, she did some digging and found out it was a scam. So she alerted the police and posted a warning to the town’s message boards. Several other residents had been victims, too, but word spread quickly. Six hours later, when the con man knocked on another door, the resident already knew his name and his spiel. She told him that the whole town was on to him, and the police had his description. I doubt he’ll bother South Orange again.

A scheme aimed at parents and pupils in a deprived area of the UK to encourage computer and Internet use by stressing the educational usefulness of the Internet seems to be bearing fruit The details provided in this BBC story are too sketchy to be really useful, but the claims are encouraging:

…”Since becoming involved in the Parents Online scheme, Throckley First School has seen home PC access for pupils leap from 6% to 57%”…

“…The school has also set up a series of workshops for adults only, with many going on to find employment in computer-related jobs in the Newcastle area.”

I am skeptical that computers and the Internet are that useful in and of themselves either for improving education or employment in deprived areas – but they can be useful as a way to tempt people back into education or improving skills because they think computers are important.butts biggest bbwmature cunts bloodygirls blogs nude underage teendaughter mother how teaches to fuckskirt asian sexpatrick tera interracial pornnude korean ladies maturenaked hot girls emobukkake interracial forcedmasterbating movies shemalesporn ameratureadult porn babiessex adult for friendsthumbs amateur porn moviesgalleries porn 18stories adult stories sexanal amateur videoslesbian pics sex amateur college Map

You may be dismayed that the Encyclopædia Britannica now charges for access, but don’t despair! Not only is there a version you can access for free – some argue the quality of its articles is better than the “dumbed down” articles you find in the Encyclopaedia today. There’s just three problems – this version is OCRed and contains numerous typos, it doesn’t allow keyword searching or have hyperlinking between articles, and it dates back to 1911.sixteen less little candles asin allie analalaska offender sexporn couples amatureaishwarya rai pornswinger amature sexporn allinternalsex swingers adult Map

A good example of why “build it and they will come” doesn’t work. The new live streaming video feed of the UK parliament drew 3500 viewers in its first day while the UK census information from 1901 drew 10,000 times as many. Why? Because a) people perceive – possibly rightly – that the main decisions that affect their lives are made elsewhere and b) even if there were a debate which affected their lives it has not been made easy for them to know when it is for them to tune in and archives by subject are not available.
