The Childhood Diary of Stephen J. Harper
dirktanzarian
I feel like a bit of a troll here. But I’m really anxious to get the word out about the childhood diary of one Stephen J. Harper, Prime Minister of Canada. You can read the full story here (entry #1) as to how we came in possession of this amazing object.

Or, you can jump to the latest post where a young Steve learns that the Beatles are breaking up. Fascinating stuff.

Women Empowerment
swapniljain
IMOW launched its latest online exhibition, “MAMA: Motherhood Around the Globe.” The rare and inspiring photographs, artwork, and stories in the exhibition depict women from all walks of life explaining how their role as a mother has affected them. While the importance of mothers figure remains the same throughout history and cultures, the experiences of mothers from one generation to the next has shifted drastically as cultures and societies have evolved.
The exhibition aims to turn inspiration into action, helping fuel a worldwide movement of advocates for mothers’ human rights and advances in maternal health. To do so, it has launched an online pledge that any visitor to the exhibition can sign in less than a minute. The pledge will be presented to the UN General Assembly in September 2012 to urge world leaders to make progress on the Millennium Development Goal of improved maternal health.View Link [mama.imow.org]

This is also what’s happening in Quebec
Erik
This video was produced in Montreal on the 24 of Mai. It’s a massive grassroots protest against Bill78. This “illegal” Bill was passed to end the ongoing student protests against a tuition hike and make it illegal to be more than 50 people, protesting without having notified the police 8hours ahead of time and submit the chosen course of the protest.
This video is the citizens answer to Bill78. Every night at 8 o’clock, we go out on the streets and bang our pots and pans in protest. We walk the streets “illegally” and our numbers are growing to the thousands around Quebec. I do believe we are fed up with our present neo-liberal, corrupt (yes indeed!) government under Jean Charests’ incompetent, businessman approach to managing Quebec.
The music featured is by a local Montreal group called “Avec pas d’casque” (without a helmet)

Quebec’s Maple Spring: the casseroles take the streets
pierrelux
A beautiful and inspiring video showing the recent “casseroles” movement taking up the streets in the province of Quebec. The student tuition crisis has involved into more than merely a question of putting a price tag on eduction. This video shows the general “ras-le-bol” expressed across generations. Young and old people, students and workers, are now banging on pots and pans every day at 8:00PM for 15mins. It often results in spontaneous (but illegal under law 78) demonstrations in different parts of the city. Because democracy is fragile. Because hope, optimism, and joy is our ultimate weapon against anger, corruption, tear gas and plastic bullets.

A Chrome extension that teaches your kids to read
“Phonetically Intuitive English” (PIE) is a scheme and a Chrome extension that automatically adds diacritics to English words on Web pages to make their American English pronunciations crystal clear. Unlike phonics which try to teach the many pronunciation rules of English, this directly shows the pronunciation data of English words, and can be a great tool for kids to read early.

Honor student sentenced to jail for supporting family
robomat
17yr old honor student Diane Tran sentenced to one day in jail and $100 fine for supporting the family. She now holds a criminal record.
“She goes from job to job from school,” classmate, Devin Hill, told KHOU-11. “She stays up until 7am in the morning doing her homework.”
However, an unsympathetic judge claimed if one student was allowed to avoid jail then they would all “run loose” and said “a little stay in the jail for one night is not a death sentence”.

Met Police review Daniel Morgan murder over News of the World link
kathybates34
Bark & Co has been instructed by Glenn Vian since the mid-2008. Not guilty verdicts were entered against Mr Vian and the other defendants, following complex and fiercely fought challenges to the Crown’s case during protracted pre-trial legal argument. The initial investigation into the murder of Daniel Morgan in 1987 was deeply flawed, and many compelling leads were not pursued properly or, in some cases, at all. The level of public resources expended in this most recent investigation is simply breathtaking. The Police bought the house next door to Mr Vian, in order to conduct thousands of hours of intrusive covert surveillance upon him and his family. They released false stories to the press in an effort to trigger incriminating conversations. When these efforts failed to produce any cogent evidence, a case was built against these defendants using “supergrass” witnesses, and considerably flawed Serious Organised Crime & Police Act (SOCPA) agreements. It will come as no surprise to right thinking people to learn that those of the worst character, facing many years in custody for crimes including drug trafficking and attempted murder, will say anything in order to secure a massive reduction in their sentence and/or substantial financial benefits. The position is very much worse where, as in this case, a SOCPA witness is told in advance what the case theory is, and simply has to repeat it to gain his reward. The defence has, in the course of pre-trial legal arguments, been able to discredit the Crown’s case so that, one by one, the evidence of these witnesses has been excluded by the trial Judge or abandoned by the Crown. The recent legal arguments which preceded the collapse of the case were led by our defence team, based on a document found in the unused material by a solicitor of this firm.

Google Penguin Update Whips Down Speed Dating Services
millavaux
To Speedxdating founder Milla vaux (as well as others), Penguin Update was extremely frustrating. WordPress and web design installs are a unique use case that might have been caught in the crossfire of this update. It simply makes sense for these sites to have a link in the footer back to the theme and/or designer – this is definitely what users expect, and is good from a usability perspective overall.
