By SEBNEM ARSU and ROBERT MACKEY

Those walkways generally attract little notice, but that changed last week, when a retired forestry engineer decided to paint the Findikli stairs in the central district of Beyoglu in all the colors of the rainbow — an act of guerrilla beautification that unintentionally triggered a fresh ripple of anti-government protests.

Anyone who still thinks the revolution will not be televised isn’t paying attention to Brazil.

Certainly in some ways Brazil, in all its tension and tragedy, is no more than this season’s most visible microcosm of the stratifications afflicting the planet—one nation’s 99%. And the high-tech engagements of the protestors may also be no more than that of their counterparts in Tahrir Square or on Wall Street.

US government has betrayed the Internet

PressTV.ir 9/07/13

Government and industry have betrayed the internet, and us.

But this is also an engineering problem, and there are several things engineers can - and should - do.

One, we should expose. If you do not have a security clearance, and if you have not received a National Security Letter, you are not bound by a federal confidentially requirements or a gag order. If you have been contacted by the NSA to subvert a product or protocol, you need to come forward with your story. Your employer obligations don't cover illegal or unethical activity. If you work with classified data and are truly brave, expose what you know. We need whistleblowers.

Pop singer Rihanna’s UFO-watching past received attention in March 2012 as she was promoting the film Battleship. Rihanna explained in an interview, “My dad used to make me sit outside on the steps all night long looking for UFOs flying by, and I had to do that for years.”

Australia’s UFO Files – Your Need to Know

Source: OpenMinds.TV - 8/30/13

The next episode in our series is Australia’s UFO Files. The National Archives of Australia holds a number of records relating to UFOs, flying saucers and other unidentified aerial phenomena. The documents became available in August 2012 under Australia’s 30-year rule. This rule orders the release of government documents 30 years after they were created. Most of these records date from the 1950’s to the 70’s, when public interest in UFOs was high and many sightings were reported to Commonwealth authorities.
