The part of court case which includes complains of customers who left Google after its change of policy is rebuffed.

This data is collected from platforms such as gmail, Google Maps and YouTube.

Users objected that Google made these changes without giving any option and notifying them. Google did it in contemplation of getting advertisement profits like numerous other companies. Truth is that in the first quarter Google’s revenue increased till 90 percent due to this modification in policies.

On the other hand, customers considered it extremely dangerous since all their confidential information like name, residence, and email address has been given to some unknown advertising company.

Bats are not as blind as we believe.

Science has proved that bats utilize polarization of the sun set to familiarize their internal magnetic compasses before they go out to prey in the dark. Birds are famous to make use of polarized light of the sky to adjust their compass mechanism. Several other animals that have orient mechanism use the arrangement of stars, potency and productivity of Earth’s magnet field.
The above research has published in Nature communication. This mechanism of birds is only active till the distance of 165 feet. They use their vision sense to find direction longer than 165 feet.

This process of polarization is very powerful at the time of sun rise and sun set. The one end of this light point towards north and the second end point to the south.

Researchers performed an experiment with the help of 70 female bats. They took them from their home cave and permitted them to watch the sunset from their experimental boxes. All those boxes were fitted with different light filters. Then when the bats were set free, 90% headed home whereas, the other 10 percent flew to somewhere else.

Through this research it can be concluded that polarization rays of sun provide more useful things to bats than the sun’s position in the sky.

New York is Among the Top 5 States with Regards to the Health of Children

By Leave a Comment

According to the 25th edition of the Kids Count Data Book released by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, New York ranks among the top five states for children’s health. The report compared information from 1990 that shows major trends in the well being of children and then recent trends that compare data from 2005 to 2012.

What’s amazing is that New York showed improvement in all eight areas of health and education for children. The report shows that there has been a decrease in the number of children who don’t graduate from high school since 1990. It has decreased from 33 percent to 22 percent in 2012 which is a remarkable improvement. Another encouraging development for the social and child services in New York is that the number of teen births has decreased however much to our disappointment the number of children in high poverty areas remained stable at 17%.

Another finding which was worth a notice was that the number of children in single parent families increased by 24% from the 1990 to 2012. Even though this last statistic doesn’t seem to directly relate to a health some studies do suggest that a lack of attention or a dysfunctional family environment at an impressionable age can lead to psychological and even physiological problems in life. However in many cases that may be true for children living with both their parents since separation is not the only criteria for a dysfunctional family.

The National Park Service names the Albany’s Pine Bush a national landmark

By Leave a Comment

The Albany Pine Bush has been designated as a national natural landmark because of being an outstanding example of a globally rare ecosystem by the National Park Service. The region along the Thruway west of Albany joins 596 other sites across the country recognized as landmarks and is home to pitch pines and scrub oaks.

 

It is perhaps not surprising then, that such regions are great examples of unique and fascinating biological and geological phenomenon. Most interestingly, the Pine Bush provides support to more than 1300 species of plants, 156 species of birds, more than 30 species of mammals and 20 species of amphibians and reptiles. It is thus one of the world’s best examples of inland pine barren ecosystems. It also harbors the beautiful but sadly endangered Karner blue butterfly.

Jews From America Want to Defend Israel; A Place They Call Their Homeland

By Leave a Comment

In wake of the Israeli and Palestinian conflict many Jews around the world have volunteered to fight for Israel. Amongst these were two Americans who were recently killed in fighting in the Gaza Strip. Israel calls these soldiers, the lone soldiers as they have left their country and families, their entire lives behind to fight for the Israeli Defense Forces to defend the Jewish State.
Many of the Jews who left Israel before the age of 15 serve voluntarily. Other believe that this is a way for them to get back to their roots and defend the Jewish population.According to Marina Rozhansky, who is a spokeswoman at the Israel Consul General in Los Angeles there are about 2000 lone soldiers currently serving in the military.

One such lone soldier, was Max Steinberg. He was 24 and grew up in Southern California’s San Fernando Valley. He joined six months after he visited Israel for the first time on a birthright trip. He was among the 13 Israeli soldiers and many Palestinian soldiers who died during the first major ground battle between Israel and Hammas.
Nissim Sean Carmelli was another 21 year old, he was the second American killed.

He came from South Padre Island and felt a connection with Israel even though he had only moved there 4 years ago. The Jewish Journal says in a report that the lone soldiers are stars in Israel. It goes on saying that the army service is a right of passage. Also, young members of the Diaspora who give up their lives to protect Israel are given a hero’s welcome and a lifetime of Shabbat dinener invitations from their fellow soldiers.

Regardless of the remarkable passion of the young to serve and protect their people and country, this pointless conflict has claimed the lives of enough young people on both sides and nations worldwide, should contribute in coming up with a political solution to all this killing.

US: Child poverty on the rise

By Leave a Comment

According to the Annie. E Casey Foundation an annual analysis suggests that child poverty rates in the United States have been rising since the early 2000’s. The annual report is called the Kids Count Data Book, it has the results from a survey of the well being of children in 50 states and it ranks the states on 10 core indicators and overall well being.

This was the 25th edition of the survey and it is devastating to see that the results suggest 23% of American children in 2012 were living below the poverty line.

An interesting observation is that poverty rates in the US dropped from the 1990’s to 2000 and then saw a steady increase from the early 2000’s to now.

Patrick McCarthy, the CEO of the foundation suggests that these low income families still haven’t been able to recover from the Great Recession. Since not many resources are made available by the government programs and transportation, housing and food costs are increasing which not only makes it difficult to survive but fuels the cycle of poverty so the poor either stay poor or keep getting worst.

Another thing that the report suggests is the disparity of statistics between different regions of the United States and the different races. The general finding was that Southern States were relatively lacking on the children’s well being as opposed to the Northern States. The five Southern states which are lowest in children’s well being ratings are Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico and Mississippi. The top five states happen to be Iowa, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Minnesota.

Patrick McCarthy points out that some of the biggest racial disparities are in poverty. Latino, African American and Native American groups suffer from poverty much more than the rest of the ethnic groups and form some of the poorest communities in the US. McCarthy also referred to another horrible reality which is just devastating. He says that around half of the African American kids live in households where there is no stable income. Lets hope this report helps in some productive reflection from the concerned authorities.
