I just want to pass on knowledge of this vulnerability, detected by AVAST, whereby mobile device users are susceptible to redirection. They can be redirected to a malicious web site from WorbPress blogs where the blogger is using a plugin called OptimizePress.
Read all about it in this AVAST Blog Post published on 17th April 2014.

I recently noticed the waste water leaving my bathroom wash basin was taking more time than usual to drain away. Realising this meant a total blockage may be imminent, I set to work dismantling the waste pipe and bottle trap so that I could begin unblocking my wash basin drain. Boy was there some gunge to clear out.
A meteor narrowly missed a skydiver, Anders Helstrup in 2012, when it passed him after he opened his parachute whilst skydiving above Hedmark, Norway. It was all captured on his helmet cam.
The “dark flight” meteor (called that because it was not glowing hot) is thought to have broken off a larger meteor higher in the atmosphere. It was considered to be the first time such a meteor has been captured on video.

On 16th April 2013 Derby celebrated by way of dance to an appropriate tune “The Loco-Motion” from a Flash Mob while opening Derby Train Station Forecourt after months of disruption and a lot of money spent. See the video below:
Other dances were performed too (at least one other) and the opening ceremony can be seen here in the article published by the Derby Telegraph.
Astronomers have found another dwarf planet in the Solar System. This is a dwarf planet and it doesn’t have a real name yet. It just has a number ’2012 VP113′ as do so many dwarf planets in the region of space occupied by Pluto. It doesn’t seem long ago that there was just Pluto beyond Neptune but new dwarf planets are being discovered regularly. There is a long list of them (46) here by Mike Brown (not updated since 2008), but here is Mike Brown’s up to date list of Probable Plutoids (as of 27/03/2014) and other people’s submissions at Wikipedia.
Mike Brown has a Plutoid definition embedded in this article.
We all know it’s a bit of a pain cycling up steep hills especially on your journey to work, but CycloCable gets bikes up that hill.
Well the Norwegians have got that sorted, in Trondheim at least. Just watch this video:
You can see more detail about how the ‘CycloCable gets bikes up that hill’ at Gizmodo. Better still why not nip over to the Trampe Home Page to read more about the CycloCable® System.
