QuoteThe UK is to provide armoured vehicles and body armour to opposition forces in Syria "to help save lives", Foreign Secretary William Hague has said.

It will offer millions of pounds in "non-lethal" equipment, including search and rescue, communications, and disease-prevention materials.

Mr Hague said it was a "necessary, proportionate and lawful" response to "extreme human suffering".

But some MPs said they feared being drawn into a military intervention.

Well this is just an astonishing surprise. I'm not even taking bets on how this will go.

Totally humanitarian, of course.

QuoteThe UK is to fund a £10m programme to help Afghanistan exploit its huge natural resources, the prime minister has revealed.

Estimates of what lies underground in Afghanistan range from $1-3tn worth of gold, gems, iron ore, and oil and gas.

David Cameron announced the three-year funding to support the Afghan Ministry of Mines at an event at Downing Street.

There have been claims that the award of mining contracts after the fall of the Taliban was affected by corruption.

The award of a 30-year contract to a Chinese consortium to exploit the Aynak copper mine in Logar province came under particular criticism.

China seems to be getting some very beneficial mining deals. I'm sure we can all imagine how well the local populace will do under these deals. 
Nine naked Men just walking down the road will cause a heap of trouble for all concerned.

Well, it says right there that it's to "help save lives"

I mean, surely they wouldn't have any ulterior motives.

Found some interesting things on Yahoo.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/this-could-be-big-abc-news/3-d-printing-revolution-gets-first-pen-173841593.html

QuoteThe 3Doodler, a plastic extrusion pen that resembles a hot glue gun, heats up plastic filament to about 270 degrees Celsius, or 518 Fahrenheit. But unlike a glue gun, the plastic cools almost instantly, allowing you to lift the 3Doodler off the paper and draw in air.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/this-could-be-big-abc-news/scientist-stumbles-onto-cure-color-blindness-180642512.html

QuoteAccording to Changizi, it turns out that color vision is a trait found only in primates with exposed skin as opposed to dogs, which don't have color vision. We use our color vision to see the subtle variations in blood flow, on, for example, the human face, to sense feelings and emotion.
The glasses were designed to isolate and amplify certain visual characteristics, and were not necessarily intended as a fix for color blindness. But while Changizi and Barber were showing the glasses to individuals around the world, they found that certain people with color blindness could see colors they were otherwise unable to see.

Did not know about this stuff. Probably should have. But dang, it's cool.

I feel like that's the most appropriate reaction.

Quote from: From the story:TEHRAN has deployed snipers to fight an invasion of hyper-evolved "mutant rats", which officials say grew freakishly big after being exposed to radiation and chemicals.

The cat-sized rats now outnumber humans in the Iranian capital.

That's quite a picture they've painted.  :lol:

Are they not worried this will just lead to a breed of mutant rats that are capable of killing snipers?
