The Cyberspace Administration of China imposed the ban on several major news portals, including Sohu.com Inc. and NetEase Inc., Chinese media reported in identically worded articles citing an unidentified official from the agency’s Beijing office. The companies have “seriously violated” internet regulations by carrying plenty of news content obtained through original reporting, causing “huge negative effects,” according to a report that appeared in The Paper on Sunday.



Facebook has announced the beta launch of Facebook Spaces, a new app that allows users to connect with friends and colleagues in an interactive virtual reality environment.

As mundanity mingles with tragedy, we confront the inevitable Popian letdown: Do we care enough? Do we have the right to our local contentment? Our joys can seem at once shamefully full and depressingly empty. I have online friends on both sides of the Atlantic, and, looking down my News Feed, I’ve often felt the heedlessness of one continent in the face of the other’s torments.

The mutation of a meme can sometimes be telling. In 2014, a post began making the rounds on Facebook, urging people to fill their timelines with links to music, to break “the monotony of selfies and sensationalism.” By late 2015, the form of the monotony had changed; now it consisted of “nasty, divisive headlines and negativity.” Soon it had become “the monotony of politics and posts about people killing each other.” This most recent revival of the meme bore witness to the early summer of 2016, with its seemingly endless litany of bad news—Baghdad’s worst bombing in more than a decade, the Orlando night-club massacre, the Istanbul airport explosion, continued police shootings in the United States, flares of terrorism and far-right nativism across Europe, and a farcically ugly U.S. Presidential election, all set to the relentless bass line of climate-change reports, which counted out one record-breakingly hot month after another.

"Depression, fear, pain, anxiety — you name it," Wim Hof’s voice boomed through the speakers. "We are able to get into any cell and change the chemistry. We are able to get into the DNA."

The manifesto also proposes that internet companies will have to pay a levy, like the one currently paid by gambling firms. Just like with gambling, that money will be used to pay for advertising schemes to tell people about the dangers of the internet, in particular being used to "support awareness and preventative activity to counter internet harms", according to the manifesto.

The government is now considering ways to exert a more direct form of influence over the country’s online media institutions. In recent months, Chinese authorities have held discussions with internet providers on a pilot project intended to pave the way for the government to start taking board seats and stakes of at least 1 percent in those companies. In return, they would get a license to provide news on a daily basis.

Most people who spend time on the Internet will likely have asked themselves whether things are really getting worse, or whether it just feels that way. Constant online exposure to the world’s troubles no doubt encourages an end-of-days mood, but the consequences of using social media as a news channel are more complex than your run-of-the-mill existential dread. To blame “monotony,” a blasé description in the context of “people killing each other,” is to miss that the defining feature of social media is a mismatch of scale. The feed is where we go both to be informed about the world and to escape its violence. It is designed to accommodate the personal and the planetary, political awareness and head-in-the-sand retreat. These opposite poles of life are dressed in identical trappings, and we’re invited to react to them with a single, limited set of coded responses. The same thumb goes up when friends post photos of their Canadian camping trip and when they check in safe after an attack in Brussels or Nice or New York or Berlin. As a result, the social-media news cycle demands of us a bifocal gaze, one that comes with a particular emotional toll.

A technician hurriedly slings his backpack over his shoulders, straps on his M9 pistol, and bolts out of the transport with his squad of commandos in a hail of gunfire. As soon as his team reaches the compound, he whips out a laptop and starts deploying a rootkit to the target server, bullets whizzing overhead all the while. Army Cyber Institute's recruits are training to do just that.

With shadowy botnet armies lurking around the globe and vigilante gray-hat actors inoculating susceptible devices, the appetite for Internet of Things security is stronger than ever. "If you throw IoT on a con talk, you've got a pretty good chance to get in," remarked information security professional Jason Kent, as he began his presentation at Chicago's Thotcon conference last week.

The agency instructed the operators of mobile and online news services to dismantle “current-affairs news” operations on Friday, after earlier calling a halt to such activity at Tencent, according to people familiar with the situation. Like its peers, Asia’s largest internet company had developed a news operation and grown its team. Henceforth, they and other services can only carry reports provided by government-controlled print or online media, the people said, asking not to be identified because the issue is politically sensitive.

As the government extends its BDUK Super Connected Cities Scheme to March 2016, Zen Internet reaffirms its support as an approved supplier. The scheme, which covers 22 cities across the UK, provides vouchers to cover the set-up and hardware costs for new super-fast broadband installations, giving small businesses the opportunity to reap the benefits of high-speed connectivity, and embrace a new generation of online services. Designed to help local businesses develop, the scheme has received an additional £40 million of funding on top of the original £140 million, and will be extended to cover more cities from April 2015.

Ian McEwan’s novel “Saturday,” from 2005, dramatizes the experience of the twenty-four-hour news cycle before the arrival of social media. In that post-9/11 period of increased news saturation, there was still the sense that the anxieties provoked by being informed could be separated from the humbler pleasures of everyday experience. In the novel, a teen-ager named Theo, worn down with grim tidings, frames the problem of modern optimism in terms of scale. “When we go on about big things, the political situation, global warming, world poverty, it all looks really terrible,” he says. “But when I think small, closer in—you know, a girl I’ve just met, or this song we’re going to do with Chas, or snowboarding next month, then it looks great. So this is going to be my motto—think small.”

The regulator has since tightened its grip on online news reports, such as by warning news or social network websites against publishing news without proper verification. In another sign that the government is exerting influence over information, the publishers of a private purchasing managers index suspended that popular gauge without explanation.

In the biggest shake-up to provisioning since it launched fibre services in 2010, Zen Internet is offering a super-easy, self-install option across all its FTTC products. This gives partners and their customers the freedom to install fibre broadband on their own timescale, removing many unnecessary headaches and delays.

The Act, championed by Ms May, requires internet service providers to maintain a list of visited websites for all internet users for a year and gives intelligence agencies more powers to intercept online communications. Police can access the stored browsing history without any warrant or court order.

The public got a rare view into how Facebook tries to keep offensive and dangerous content offline in a report published Sunday. Leaked confidential documents exposed the secret rules by which Facebook polices postings on issues such as violence, hate speech, terrorism, pornography, racism and self-harm, as well as such subjects as sports fixing and cannibalism.

The party has long been sensitive to the potential for negative reporting to stir up unrest, the greatest threat to its decades-old hold on power. Regulations forbidding enterprise reporting have been in place for years without consistent enforcement, but the latest ordinance suggests “they really mean business,” said Willy Lam, an adjunct professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Center for China Studies. 

Dad's special time of the year

More Father's Day Activities There are plenty more ideas for gifts for Father's Day in our Gifts Kids Can Make section. Children need a Daddy For many, many things: Like holding them high off the ground Where the sunlight sings! Like being the deep music That tells them all is right When they awaken frantic with The terrors of the night. Like being the great mountain That rises in their hearts And shows them how they might get home When all else falls apart. Like giving them the love That is their sea and air, So diving deep or soaring high They'll always find him there. Author Unknown "I love my father as the stars - he's a bright shining example and a happy twinkling in my heart." Adabella Radici

Some families celebrate Father's Day by planning an outing or weekend trip, perhaps just for the male members of the family. This may be a simple walk in the countryside or a whole planned "experience". Popular Father's Day experiences include driving a fire engine, rally car, tank or even airplane or taking a golf, football or cricket lesson with a celebrity coach. Other families organize a special meal at home or in a pub or restaurant. A common Father's Day meal is a traditional roast dinner with meat, stuffing, potatoes and vegetables, which can be eaten in a pub and accompanied by pints of ale or lager.

A bill to accord national recognition of the holiday was introduced in Congress in 1913. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson went to Spokane to speak at a Father's Day celebration and he wanted to make it an officially recognized federal holiday, but Congress resisted, fearing that it would become commercialized. US President Calvin Coolidge recommended in 1924 that the day be observed throughout the entire nation, but he stopped short at issuing a national proclamation. Two earlier attempts to formally recognize the holiday had been defeated by Congress. In 1957, Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a Father's Day proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honoring mothers, thus " out just one of our two parents". In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.

While the motor mad dad will love the wheels on the car designs, and the wine connoisseur father will enjoy replicating the clinking of glasses on the boozy designs.

It is said that Grace Golden Clayton suggested the service to the pastor as a memorial after a mine explosion in nearby Monongah had killed 361 men the previous winter. Another explanation for the service was Mothers' Day, which had been celebrated for the first time two months prior in Grafton, a town that was 15 miles away.

Traditionally, in the Kathmandu Valley, the south-western corner is reserved for women and women-related rituals, and the north-eastern is for men and men-related rituals. The worship place for Mata Tirtha Aunsi ("Mother Pilgrimage New Moon") is located in Mata Tirtha in the south-western half of the valley, while the worship place for Gokarna Aunsi is located in the north-eastern half. This division is reflected in many aspects of the life in the Kathmandu Valley.

*Officially, as the name suggests, the holiday celebrates people who are serving or were serving the Russian Armed Forces (both men and women). But the congratulations are traditionally, nationally accepted by all fathers, other adult men and male children as well. **In China during the Republican period prior to 1949, Father's Day on August 8 was first held in Shanghai in 1945.

The first such “Father’s Day” was held in Spokane in 1910, with a number of towns and cities across America later following suit. Others say it is Grace Golden Clayton, from Fairmont, West Virginia, who should be credited with the concept of Father’s Day, after she suggested a day celebrating fatherhood in 1908. She put forward the idea following a mine explosion in a nearby town which killed more than 360 men – arguing that children in the town needed a time to remember their fathers.

JavaScript Disabled September 2015 marks 20 years in digital for Amaze. To celebrate we've created a new visual identity system to help us communicate our brand story and purpose. Focused on human behaviour and technology, our identity is organic, not static. Shifting, growing and changing in form. Our living brand mark is the cornerstone of that identity system. The living brand mark evolves, as we evolve. Adapts, as we adapt. And rests when we rest. It is a brand mark born from technology and fed by human behaviour. A technical framework senses and visualises data created by our technical and human activities. This is then transformed into a 3-dimensional form, creating an animated visual manifestation of everything we do. Sound's great doesn't it? But unfortunately your browser does not support Javascript or Javascript has been disabled, so you can't see the 3D animated and interactive brand mark. You are viewing a dynamically generated snapshot. A recent photograph of the living thing. A photograph taken when you loaded this page.

Fat Media is a specialist website design and digital marketing company recognised by top British corporations as the ‘go to’ company for high-end website design and development and tactical digital marketing campaigns. Based in the North West, the team of over 90 digital marketing experts display an impressive range of skills in website design, programming, SEO and digital marketing. Our results-driven approach to website design, development and digital marketing embraces the crucial concept of listening to and understanding clients' aims and desires. And through this principle, working with clients as an extension of their marketing teams, we consistently deliver dynamic and effective digital marketing campaigns that get results. We provide all digital marketing services including website design, content management systems , ecommerce systems, web apps, i-phone apps, bespoke software development, hosting , email marketing, viral games, search engine optimisation, social media marketing, pay per click marketing, affiliate marketing, flash animation, digital marketing consultancy and branding and print design. We are proud of our high-powered client list of more than 700 national and regional companies that include Lakeland, Warburtons, NHS, Lancaster University and Yotel. We take great pride in the knowledge that the majority of our new client work is triggered by recommendation as it shows our clients appreciate what we do for them. But there is no room for complacency and we believe passionately that our 'can do' mentality sets us apart. From day one, our philosophy was simple; to meet with all clients face-to-face and design websites of the highest quality possible using the latest technology. To achieve this we research numerous industries to ensure we not only understand our clients but also their marketplace. From producing website design and development work to such a high standard also comes recognition in the form of industry awards and we have won dozens of awards for our websites and also won Creative Business of the Year at the Red Rose Awards. We are proud to be early adopters of the latest technology and keep ahead of the competition by continually developing our advanced content management systems which give our clients the ability to edit every aspect of their website. We are also using new technology such as HTML 5 and CSS 3 which benefits our client’s websites both from a visual and interactive perspective. We also constantly seek to improve our knowledge of website design, digital marketing tactics, content management systems, IT infrastructure and search engine optimisation skills. Another reason to choose us is that we have hand-picked people who, of course, have the expected level of technical abilities but, more importantly, have excellent communication skills. Most companies in the web design industry have a marketing team who are client facing and a technical team who are not but we decided at an early stage to buck this trend to ensure all team members go out and see clients to build long and lasting relationships. This ensures that all digital marketing team members can liaise directly with our clients throughout the whole website design or digital marketing campaign process. This enables us to deliver website projects ahead of deadlines and results in our clients getting the most return on investment from each campaign. We have also instilled a real culture of wanting to deliver results for our client’s websites. This involves all members of the team showing initiative and having the right and the ability to challenge the way in which things are done to provide our clients with the best possible website design or digital marketing service every time. Creating this desire to innovate within the team has paid dividends for our clients and we now have a reputation for being truly ahead of the game. We insist on adopting a completely bespoke and personal approach, tailoring all website or mobile products and services to suit an individual customer’s needs. To successfully achieve this though we take the following approach: Developing a detailed understanding of a client’s needs from the initial contact/phone call – the team who take first calls are well trained to extract detailed information A guaranteed face-to-face visit with prospective clients, regardless of size, by a senior member of staff to understand thoroughly the nature of the work and needs Taking a good, solid, reliable brief to enable the digital marketing consultants and web designers to undertake their job right first time Researching potential clients’ organisations, their target markets and competitors prior to first presentation - this may well include a focus group approach Regular communication throughout creative and production stages Thorough evaluation of the results of every digital marketing campaign We are also proud of why clients choose us for services in Website Design, Content Management Systems , E-commerce website design, Bespoke Development, Hosting , Email Marketing, Viral Games, Search Engine Optimisation, Social Media Marketing, Pay Per Click Marketing, Flash Animation, Digital marketing consultancy and Branding and Print Design. We work nationally with hundreds of website design and development clients in Lancashire, Cumbria, Manchester, Cheshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and nearly every other county in the UK.

Police are investigating cruelty claims at Hartpury College, Gloucestershire, after graphic footage of students stamping on a fox cub's head and slitting its throat was posted onto Snapchat. The ten-second clip sparked a backlash after it was posted on Snapchat by a female first-year with the caption: 'Got the f*cker.' Days earlier, a second-year student was branded 'pure evil' after a photo - which shows him grinning and holding a dead cat up by its TAIL - went viral.

Trump's Syria U-Turn: What Next? It is not always a bad thing for political leaders to give the impression that they are unpredictable.

His aides have no way of assessing what his next move will be. As a result, they can't plan ahead. Do they have any idea what they're going to do next, now that they moved the Syria conflict into a new phase? I doubt it very much. Robin Lustig Journalist and broadcaster
