Art by Laetitzia As we all know, communication is essential in society. Advancements in technology have transformed the way that we correspond with others in the modern world. We live in an era when launching apps, using an online QR code generator for immediate information, following turn-by-turn map navigation on our phones, and microblogging with tweets and instant photos have become the norm.

http://psychcentral.com/lib/2009/15-common-cognitive-distortions/ What’s a cognitive distortion and why do so many people have them? Cognitive distortions are simply ways that our mind convinces us of something that isn’t really true. These inaccurate thoughts are usually used to reinforce negative thinking or emotions — telling ourselves things that sound rational and accurate, but really only serve to keep us feeling bad about ourselves. For instance, a person might tell themselves, “I always fail when I try to do something new; I therefore fail at everything I try.”

Take That riot police 'just a bunch of dancers'

http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/arts-entertainment/take-that-riot-police-just-a-bunch-of-dancers-201102163548 This sort of thing would have been ideal Viewers watching the Brit Awards had hoped the Take That police, equipped with riot shields and batons, would turn on their masters, kettling them into the corner of the stage and beating them to within an inch of their lives. But instead they pranced around in time to the music without once lashing out viciously at Mark or even Robbie, backed by the full force of the law. Tom Logan, from Stevenage, said: “I wanted to see triumphant arcs of Take That blood splashing against the camera. “I wanted to see Gary Barlow trying to protect his Nice’n'Easy beach blond highlights against blow after righteous blow. “Then I wanted to see the police rampaging through the crowd, cracking skulls and pummelling kidneys before setting off back stage in search of James Corden’s big fucking face.”

Government rules out net neutrality regulation | Broadband

By Barry Collins Posted on 1 Feb 2011 at 15:37 A Government minister has ruled out legislation to protect the concept of net neutrality. ISPs such as BT and TalkTalk have openly welcomed the prospect of giving commercial partners preferential bandwidth on their networks, effectively creating a two-tier internet. However, when asked by Conservative MP Mike Weatherley "what steps he is taking to ensure that the internet market grows in a way that encourages free and fair access to the internet", Culture minister Ed Vaizey said the Government wasn't about to intervene. "The Government is absolutely committed to ensuring that the internet remains the powerful innovative, competitive and open force for good that it has become since its inception," Vaizey replied in a written statement. http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/broadband/364909/government-rules-out-net-neutrality-regulation

The Devil's Kitchen: It's long past time that IE6 died

Over the last few years, your humble Devil has been working for a small web software company in Surrey. I was hired as a second-string website designer and—mainly due to the fact that I just won't shut up when I see things that need sorting out—I have swiftly moved through various jobs within the company: from second-strong designer, to Project Manager, to Head of Marketing*. My current role, and the one that I hope to stay in, is as Product Manager. Despite the fact that I have seen the company triple in size over my three years with them, it is still a small company and, as such, I do rather more than a Product Manager in a large company would do. I put together the product roadmap, write software specifications, design the workflows, user experience (UX) and user interfaces (UI) for the products, as well as coding a good deal of the actual UIs too. It's busy but immense fun and, usually, incredibly satisfying. http://www.devilskitchen.me.uk/2011/03/its-long-past-time-that-ie6-died.html
Eight-year old Maisie spots an offside and a pussycat As Sky Sports launched some dreary investigation into the brains of Andy Gray and Richard Keys, experts said it would be impossible for a woman to not understand the offside rule because it is one of the rules of football. Professor Henry Brubaker, of the Institute for Studies, said: “Of all the non-American sports, football is easily the most childishly simple. “This is not Fermat’s Last Theorem.

This terrific product is perfect for dealing with minor stubborn behavior in your cat. I didn’t like our cat going up on the counter behind our kitchen sink to look out the window, but every time I went outside, there she was laughing at me. I tried many different deterrents, but she was like the Borg from Star Trek. She would just adapt.

Labour Fighting to Keep Elections Biassed in Their Favour « Adam Collyer

Image via Wikipedia Charlie Falconer (Right) – Unelected and Trying to Keep Our Elections Biassed Their Lordships have been enduring all night sittings as the government attempts to get its Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill through in time for the referendum on AV to be held on the same day as the local elections in May. The Bill includes two measures – as well as the referendum, it includes a measure to mandate that constituencies should all be the same size within 5 percent. Labour agrees with the idea of the referendum on AV, and has argued that the government should separate the two measures, so that the AV referendum can be passed quickly, and the correction of the electoral system can be debated at leisure.

Is the BBC in thrall to Islam because of a Saudi landlord?

We all knew that Auntie swung to the Left. But with a Roman Catholic director general and a Methodist head of religious broadcasting, you might have thought there would have been a little reverence for the majority religion and respect for the Established Church. Even at the cost of allegations of Islamophobia. And then came a Muslim head of religion and ethics, and one might have hoped for a little reverence for the majority religion and respect for the Established Church. If only to belie allegations of Islamophilia.
