The bible of my childhood was the World Book Encyclopedia, 1976 edition. I read almost every entry in its 22 volumes. I was informed about the horrible things that happened in the past and all the wonderful things that would happen in the future. I returned again and again to the encyclopedia's space section, which was vivid and convincing. Accompanying its words were images of commercial rockets, moon bases, and space suburbs drawn by the great Donald E. Here's The Book Cover For The Fully Illustrated "Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets" The Ladies and the Trump.

The Apple-FBI Battle Is Over, But the Crypto Wars Have Just Begun. Apple’s standoff with the FBI unfolded over the course of several weeks, but ended in a matter of days.
That’s how long it took the FBI to find a way into a San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone and successfully exploit it without Apple’s help. So while that particular case appears to be over, the encryption war is not. If anything, it is more urgent than ever. The standoff over Syed Rizwan Farook’s iPhone 5C didn’t set any legal precedents, but it reminded anyone with the slightest interest in the encryption debate that the stakes are real, and immediate.

Amazon and Flipkart are speechless after India announces new foreign investment rules. India and the US have much in common: diversity, an anti-imperial legacy, deep social segregation, and an avowed commitment to people’s rule.
The past few months have seen chillingly similar political winds sweeping through the two nations as well. While authoritarianism and parochialism are rising globally, these ominous trends stand out particularly in the world’s largest democracies. India elected Hindutva icon Narendra Modi as prime minister in 2014, and since then a series of unsavoury incidents fuelled by xenophobia have rattled the country. Meanwhile, the US will pick a new occupant to the White House this November.
Odds are that billionaire Donald Trump will be the Republican contender for presidency—a scary prospect not just for the US’ friends and foes, but also his own party. Is AlphaGo Really Such a Big Deal? In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue system defeated the world chess champion, Garry Kasparov.

North Korea instructed the country Monday to brace itself for possible famine and severe economic hardship — but not to despair, because “the road to revolution is long and arduous,” according to an editorial in the state-run newspaper.
The article, published in Rodong Sinmun — the print mouthpiece of the North Korean government — comes less than a month after the U.N. Security Council voted in favor of slapping the Hermit Kingdom with tougher sanctions, after the country teased its potential nuclear and military capabilities earlier this year. The editorial stated that hardships to come might evoke another “arduous march” — the term assigned to the famine that struck the country in the mid-1990s, killing as many as 3 million people, reports the Telegraph, a British newspaper.

Can an Outsider Ever Truly Become Amish? Two sisters in their traditional, everyday, Lancaster County Amish attire. (Photo: Tessa Smucker) The road that runs through the main village of Berlin, Ohio, only about 90 minutes south of Cleveland, is called “Amish Country Byway” for its unusual number of non-automotive travelers and it’s true that driving down it, you’ll have to slow down for the horse-drawn buggies that clog up the right lane. But those seeking the “real” Amish experience in downtown Berlin might be disappointed. It’s more Disney than devout: a playground for tourists full of ersatz Amish “schnuck” (Pennsylvania Dutch for “cute”) stores selling woven baskets and postcards of bucolic farm scenes.

By Karen TurnerMarch 28 at 11:15 AM (Damian Dovarganes/AP) A new study shows that knowledge of government surveillance causes people to self-censor their dissenting opinions online. The research offers a sobering look at the oft-touted "democratizing" effect of social media and Internet access that bolsters minority opinion. The study, published in Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly, studied the effects of subtle reminders of mass surveillance on its subjects. The majority of participants reacted by suppressing opinions that they perceived to be in the minority.
