Georgia's Lasha Shavdatuashvili and North Korean An Kum-Ae both claimed gold on a day of shocks and a refereeing controversy at the Olympic judo competition on Sunday.
Shavdatuashvili won the men's under-66kg division, less than a year after progressing from the junior ranks to the seniors.
And An went one better than four years ago in Beijing as she added under-52kg gold to the silver already in her trophy cabinet.
But it was a day marked by the failure of the top seeds, as well as a row over Masashi Ebinuma and Cho Jun-Ho's under-66kg quarter-final, which was awarded first to the South Korean, and then to the Japanese world champion.
Cho was awarded a judges decision before the International Judo Federation's Refereeing Commission reminded them about an Ebinuma attack that should have been scored.
The three judges reversed their decision and gave the win to Ebinuma, sparking consternation in the stands. Ebinuma went on to win bronze alongside South Korea's Cho Jun-Ho, who was philosophical about the events.
"Initially I thought I had won but when it was reversed I was a little sad," he said.
"But I had my remaining fights to focus on and I hoped (Ebinuma) would get a good result because he beat me. We both won bronze so I'm happy."
In the under-66kg, three of the top four seeds fell by the wayside before the quarter-finals, leaving Shavdatuashvili to emerge from the debris to claim a brilliant gold medal.
Until six months ago, the 20-year-old had never competed at a senior international tournament but he showed no nerves as he tore into his opposition.
"When fighting I attacked and took risks because I didn't care who my opponents were, whether world champions, European champions or even Olympic champions," he said.
"I wanted to show what's inside me and that's why I was risking everything."
In the final he beat three-time European champion Miklos Ungvari of Hungary with a small score (yuko) from an inner-leg sweep (ouchi-gari).
Before that he had stunned world champion Ebinuma in the semi-finals with a rotating rear throw (ura-nage) for the maximum technical knock-out score, ippon.
Shavdatuashvili became the sixth Georgian to win judo gold, and the third since the country gained independence from the Soviet Union.
"I'm happy to add to Georgia's list of gold medals but of course these don't just belong to judo athletes but to the whole country," he said.
"I wish other athletes would add more gold medals and other medals to our Olympic museum."
The women's competition was not quite so dramatic but did involve similar carnage among the leading contenders.
All four top seeds crashed out before the quarters but the final was still contested between two fighters who had earnt Olympic silver in Beijing four years ago.
An, who was beaten by China's Xian Dongmei in Beijing, triumphed this time against Cuba's Yanet Bermoy, who had reached the final in the under-48kg division in China.
The fight went to a sudden death golden score period with An snatching victory with a yuko from a counter-attack.
It meant she joined illustrious compatriot Kye Sun-Hui as an Olympic gold medallist in judo.
"I'm following in the footsteps of the queen of North Korean judo and I wanted to honour her," said An.
"By winning gold I was able to reward my country for what I have been given by them.
"I learnt from (Kye's) strong spirit and determination and I needed to work hard to return what earned from my country."
France's Priscilla Gneto and Rosalba Forciniti of Italy took the two bronze medals.

Dubai-based real estate giant Emaar Properties said on Sunday it posted an 82 percent surge in net profits in the first half of 2012 as retail and hospitality grew, costs fell and a write-off was not repeated.
The developer of the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, saw its net profit in the first six months rise to 1.22 billion dirhams ($332.4 million), compared with 671 million dirhams ($182.8 million) in the corresponding period last year, a company statement said.
Net profits in the second quarter of 2012 more than doubled to 614 million dirhams ($167.3 million), compared with 250 million dirhams ($68.1 million) in the second quarter of 2011, when the company wrote off 172 million dirhams ($46.87 million) investment in its loss-making Dubai Bank.
Revenues in the first half stood at 3.921 billion dirhams ($1.06 billion), two percent down from 4.014 billion dirhams last year, while costs dropped to 1.723 billion dirhams ($469.48 million), compared with 2.023 billion dirhams ($551.2 million).
The hospitality and retail sectors contributed 51 percent to revenues, with rental and retail businesses, mainly malls, generating earnings of 1.3 billion dirhams ($354 million), 23 percent up from the same period last year.
Dubai Mall hosted around 30 million visitors in the first six months of 2012.
Mohamed Alabbar, chairman of Emaar Properties, said that Dubai's property is turning around after crashing in 2009 because the global financial crisis dried up available finance for the overheated sector.
"The real estate market in Dubai is turning around, led by the robust performance of key growth sectors including aviation, retail, hospitality, tourism and foreign trade," he said.
"The city's appeal to high net worth individuals as the ideal destination for a home is also gaining strength. Emaar's financial results for the first half of the year reflects the growing strength of Dubai's economy," he added.
The company said it recorded sales exceeding 1.6 billion dirhams ($436 million) in the first half of 2012 in Dubai, approximately five times more than the same period in 2011.
A major developer throughout Dubai's five-year real estate frenzy, Emaar has succeeded in diversifying its business, focusing on hospitality and retail, while also spreading its real estate business activities abroad.

The LA Times reveals yet another Washington-led proxy war, this time in Africa. Privatised and essentially unaccountable, this is another example of the US never learning from history. Arming and training such a force will almost inevitably blow back on the West at some point:
The soldiers stood at attention, rifles at their sides, as U.S. Army Maj. Gen. David Hogg walked down the ranks, eyeing the men heading off to fight in Somalia.
?You will push ? the miscreants from that country, so Somalia can once again be free of tyranny and terrorism,? he told them, according to a video of the May ceremony. ?We know you are ready.?
These weren?t American soldiers. They were from impoverished Sierra Leone in West Africa. But Hogg, a top U.S. Army commander for Africa, was in Freetown, Sierra Leone?s capital, because this was largely an American operation.
Nearly 20 years after U.S. Army Rangers suffered a bloody defeat in Somalia, losing 18 soldiers and two Black Hawk helicopters, Washington is once again heavily engaged in the chaotic country. Only this time, African troops are doing the fighting and dying.
The United States is doing almost everything else.
The U.S. has been quietly equipping and training thousands of African soldiers to wage a widening proxy war against the Shabab, the Al Qaeda ally that has imposed a harsh form of Islamic rule on southern Somalia and sparked alarm in Washington as foreign militants join its ranks.
Officially, the troops are under the auspices of the African Union. But in truth, according to interviews by U.S. and African officials and senior military officers and budget documents, the 15,000-strong force pulled from five African countries is largely a creation of the State Department and Pentagon, trained and supplied by the U.S. government and guided by dozens of retired foreign military personnel hired through private contractors.
Like CIA drone strikes in Pakistan and Somalia, and the overthrow of Moammar Kadafi?s regime in Libya, the U.S. backing of African troops in Somalia is an example of how, after a decade of ground combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Obama administration is trying to achieve U.S. military goals with minimal risk of American deaths and scant public debate.
The U.S. can underwrite the war in Somalia for a relative pittance ? the cost over four years has been less than $700 million, a tenth of what the military spends in Afghanistan in a month ? but the price tag is growing. More than a third of the U.S. assistance has been spent since early 2011.
?
No U.S. military personnel are deployed to Somalia with the African troops. Instead, the State Department pays a private firm to hire the retired foreign military personnel who advise the troops on tactics and operations.
?The U.S. is willing to be very open-minded about whatever the key components are that need to be funded, without which this mission would fail,? said Michael C. Stock, president of Bancroft Global Development, the Washington-based company that hires the combat advisors. ?When it comes to things like ammunition, when it comes to the mentoring and advising that we do, the U.S. is really playing the most important role.?
Bancroft now has about 75 advisors in Somalia, double the number from a year ago, Stock said.
The only major part of the Somalia operation that the U.S. doesn?t supply or pay for are the troops? salaries and logistical expenses, officials say. Those are handled by the European Union and the United Nations, although the U.N. contribution is partially funded by U.S. dues. Only Washington is willing to provide lethal aid, officials and contractors say.
?It?s incredible bang for the dollar that we?ve gotten,? said Michael Bittrick, a State Department official who oversees the effort. ?It isn?t just about getting infantry shooters to go do their work. We?re training their intel people, we?re training their indirect fire people, we?re training their medical people, we?re training their engineers.?
That training is done mostly by U.S. contractors and small teams of American military personnel before the troops deploy from their home countries. But the military also brings African soldiers to the U.S. for training.
In December, the Pentagon brought eight Ugandan soldiers and one of Bancroft?s advisors to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala., to train them to use the Army?s Raven drone. The hand-launched, propeller-powered drone beams live video back to a laptop computer when used on the battlefield, as it was last month in Afgooye.

OXFORD, Mass. (AP) ? A man who had recently separated from his wife shot his two children, killing his 7-year-old daughter, before committing suicide, prosecutors said.
A family member called police Saturday night after finding the bodies of 41-year-old Daryl Benway and his daughter, Abigail, in the master bedroom of their two-story Oxford home, Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said. Benway's 9-year-old son, Owen, was found shot in the head in the kitchen and was taken to UMass Memorial Children's Medical Center in serious condition.
Benway's wife, Kelleen, returned home after the shootings, unaware of what had happened, and found a swarm of police cruisers and television crews, Early said. She was taken to the children's hospital, where authorities told her the fates of her children and husband.
Neighbors told the Telegram & Gazette that Daryl Benway's brother Shawn lived on the first floor of the home with his wife and mother. Shawn Benway called 911 to report the shootings, Early said.
Daryl and Kelleen Benway separated three or four weeks ago but were still married, Early said. He said he couldn't speculate on a motive.
No restraining orders had been filed against Daryl Benway, and he had no criminal record, the DA said. He had a gun license that expired in 1999, Early said.
"It doesn't get much worse than this," Early said. "It's a horrible scene, a horrible situation."
On Daryl Benway's Facebook page, his profile picture posted December 2011 showed him with his family in front of a Christmas tree. He described the woman next to him as "my Beautiful wife Kelleen." Owen stood in front of him in a white dress shirt and red plaid tie, while brown-haired Abigail wore a black and white dress with a black hair bow.
Daryl Benway listed his place of employment as TJX Cos., which operates discount retailers TJ Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, as well as Ross Stores Inc.
Sue Brennan, who lives behind the Benways, said Daryl Benway always seemed easy-going.
"He's the most happy-go-lucky guy I know. I just don't see him doing that," Brennan, 47, told the Boston Globe.
Michael Courtemanche, of Webster, said he grew up with Benway and although he hadn't spoken to him much over the past 10 years, he saw him just three days ago.
"They were excellent, a good family," Courtemanche, 40, told the newspaper. "Just like any other family, they had problems. But Daryl was always friendly, always in a good mood."

Let?s face the facts, nowadays so many people are hooked with Facebook, regardless of what age. Kids, teenagers, youths, adults, even senior citizens too use it.
The of Facebook is quite not the same as other traditional social media sites. Facebook allows business owners to create their business web page and advertise there.
But the basic real question is ? why are people looking for more and more Facebook ?Likes? or fans for their websites? A better solution for this is that the quantity of Facebook represents the popularity from the product/service as well as the company as well.
It is sad yet true, that many people are stuck on Facebook for the whole day. Not just that, there are several companies giving hiring people to maintain their Facebook profile, and their pros continuously promote their products and services, as well as developing games and apps for their Facebook pages.
Nonetheless, the entire thing will be worthless unless your organization page have visitors. As a startup firm in Facebook, it is very difficult to gather targeted visitors. For that reason is that web development and social media management organizations offer their companies. Some examples of those companies are: Buy facebook Fans, purchase guaranteed Facebook, get fans, improve Facebook page pans, need more Facebook fans, get guaranteed fans, and many more.
Increase the Popularity of Your Business

Monetising ?Likes?

Your Facebook ?likes? bring just fresh and targeted visitors towards your website. If you work with PPC (Pay per Click) marketing and advertising or contextual advertising inside your website, your Facebook ?likes? provide you with an excellent opportunity to create more revenue.
Regarding People into Your Business
If you have an online shop and you intend to sell product on internet, it is important for you to know your visitors feedback to improve your merchandise and quality program.

You should make the right nutritional decisions when it comes to your lifestyle. Eating more nutritiously can lead to much better health. Here are some effective tips to remain healthy.
Huge amounts of people are crazy about coupons. We have all seen the super shoppers on TV with their weekly shopping list costing only a few cents. However, the foods they buy using these coupons is often processed junk food. When it comes to coupons, you?ll come to find that there?s usually an abundance of them when it comes to higher calorie foods.
TIP! Drinking plenty of water during the day is an excellent way for you to maintain nutritional fitness. Our bodies have a high water content, so proper hydration is important.
For women who are pregnant or lactating, good nutrition is essential. When a woman is pregnant, it is very important that they get enough protien. This can be a hard task because pregnancy will make many women not feel like not eating at all. To get an adequate amount of protein in her diet, an expecting mom can add egg whites to her breakfast smoothie. Egg whites are high in protein and low in calories, making them a good option to consider. Pasteurized eggs reduce the risk of salmonella and are a healthy source of protein.
A good way to get protein into your diet is to add some Greek yogurt. In recipes that call for sour cream, try Greek yogurt. The non-fat variety is an especially good replacement for fatty sour cream. Any creamy ingredient a recipe calls for can be substituted by using Greek yogurt. You can avoid increasing meat consumption in order to get protein by eating Greek yogurt instead.
TIP! Buy different milk. Drinking 1 percent or skim milk will give your body the same minerals and vitamins as 2 percent or whole milk with less fat and calories.
While they might have a low amount of fat, the calories or amount of sugar might be higher than what you should consume. Always figure out what has been added to foods that have had calories taken out.
Consider substituting fruit juice with actual fruit. Fruit juices that are store-bought have added sugars, but fresh fruit contains natural sweeteners. Actually, some fruit juices contain more sugar than sodas. Fruits contain essential vitamins, fiber and minerals which are good for you. Additionally, fruits have been shown to help prevent medical problems like heart disease or stroke.
TIP! One easy tip to improve your overall eating habits is to eliminate unhealthy snacks, like cookies, candy and soda from your kitchen. Consider stocking your house with healthy snacks, such as fresh vegetables, whole wheat baked goods and fruits.
It is always a good idea to have a workout buddy. Whether it be exercise or diet, having a companion to motivate and support you makes it easy to reach the goals that you set for yourself.
When you commit to changing your life, it?s always good to have friends supporting you. This can either be a mentor who has already changed things and can give you advice, or a person who is at the same level as you. You need to have someone to discuss this with.
TIP! You will be less tempted to break down and make an unhealthy choice if you stick with this system. Because you will have a variety of meals from which to select, you are less likely to abandon your diet due to boredom.
If you do not eat your breakfast, you already are placing yourself in a bad spot at the start of the day. Many people skip breakfast to avoid calories. However, since skipping breakfast leaves you hungry, you are far more likely to eat snacks as the day progresses. This will cause you to eat more food than if you ate breakfast.
When you are making your child a healthy meal, substitute a baked potato for french fries. You can make the potato fun by turning each half into a goofy face by using cherry tomatoes, peas and healthy, low-fat cheese.
TIP! Include whole grains in your diet. When people eat whole grains, it leads to much better health than that which can be had by consuming processed grains.
When preparing mushrooms, it?s very important to ensure they are well-cooked. Proper cooking techniques will rid the mushrooms of carcinogens that can harm your body. Keeping an eye out on your health is vital because this can affect your body?s ability in burning fat.
Take into account how much sugary drinks you are taking in, and cut that number in half, replacing the sugary drinks with water. These kinds of unhealthy, sugary beverages are seductive; you tend to drink more of them than you think you do. Understanding the total will keep you from overdoing it.
TIP! Be sure your diet includes plenty of calcium. High-calcium foods include cheese, sardines, dried beans and nuts.
Those who study nutrition choose to put grains which have not been highly milled into their diet. You are missing all the nutrients and fibers contained in the hull of the grains. Is it logical to eat highly-milled grains and take a supplement for fiber and nutrients? It is not logical at all.
Maintaining nutrition is important for good health, and potassium can help with this. Foods like bananas, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and beans are great sources of potassium. Potassium keeps your blood pressure low and prevents heart disease and other health problems. You can also get potassium from dairy products, like yogurt or milk.
TIP! Eat more veggies and less meat to improve your nutritional intake. You may need to have a little meat in order to get the protein that your body requires, but do not overindulge.
It is important to include food which provide selenium in your diet. The mineral selenium is an antioxidant which contributes to tissue elasticity and can prevent premature skin aging. In addition, it provides your skin with protection from the sun?s UV rays and counteracts the damage that free radicals can cause. Tuna, whole grains, garlic, and eggs all include high amounts of selenium.
Beverage consumption is as important as food consumption when you are trying to improve your nutrition. Pay attention to how many calories are found in the beverages you drink. Reduce or eliminate drinks like soda, beer and juice drinks with added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup.
TIP! A great healthy eating tip is to take time off from eating grains. Historically, man did not eat grains, but subsisted on vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans and meats.
Make sure you eat enough dairy every day but be careful what dairies you consume. g. dairy products are nutritious but try to avoid unnecessary fat. Dairy is vital for bone health and strengthening joints, but the wrong type is full of fat.
A good way to add the produce, minerals and vitamins that you need in your daily diet is to use a juicer. Vegetables add a little tartness and bite to basic fruit juice. A way to add zip to your carrot/apple juice is by adding some ginger. You can even had a half a jalapeno for a good spicy kick!
TIP! If you reduce your portion sizes by a quarter at meal time, you will consume less calories during the day. This can be an easy way to cut back if you sometimes put too much on your plate.
Hopefully, you now realize why improving your diet is vital. Implement these tips into your life and take advantage of the benefits they bring.
Riboflavin is a critical vitamin in any good diet. Our body requires it to release energy from carbohydrates, protein and fat used in the body. Riboflavin also plays a major role in metabolism, as well as in the transportation of iron throughout the body. If you want to eat lots of riboflavin, head straight for the dairy products and whole grains.
TIP! Substitute a healthier protein choice for your regular meat or fish at least a couple of times each week. Oily fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which benefit almost every bodily process.

Another day, another set of crisis headlines?but there is a silver lining: Finally, Europeans are being forced to face up to decades' worth of fundamentally dishonest politics. Since the 1970s, one government after the next has spent, borrowed, and then inflated its way out of the subsequent debt. Then they recovered?only to spend, borrow, and inflate once again. Not coincidentally, this cycle was most severe in countries with weaker democracies. Spain ceased to be a dictatorship only after Franco's death in 1975, Greece was ruled by a military junta from 1967 to 1974, and Italy has had more than 60 governments since World War II. Successive leaders in all of those countries have tried to "buy" the electorate with elaborate pensions, state-sector employment, and other perks. Banks across the continent and around the world have greedily facilitated them.

In 1902, James Hill published his book, "As a Man Thinketh," where he stated that a person's thoughts have the power to create his personal circumstances. A half century later, Napoleon Hill studied the characteristics of some of the most wealthy individuals of his time, and developed 16 laws of success. Hill explained these 16 laws in his book, "Think and Grow Rich," where he explained that any person can achieve success by forming clear goals, eliminating negative thoughts and pursuing his goals with faith and persistence. Both of these books were best-sellers during their time, and remain popular and relevant to this day. These, along with many other popular self-help literature, are built on the principle that by focusing on positive thoughts the human mind has the power to create positive results. The books give key take home knowledge to implement on how to be successful.
This idea is also at the core of the law of attraction, a theory that became wildly popular with the release of the movie "The Secret" in 2006. The law of attraction says that "like attracts like." Simply put, if a person focuses on positive thoughts, he or she will attract positive results. When a person's mind is filled with negative thoughts, negative things happen to him or her. Like so many other theories and beliefs that are not yet fully understood, the law of attraction has its share of critics. But despite the abundance of detractors, there are irrefutable
A recent article in the Sunday Review of the New York Times, written by Annie Murphy Paul, discusses a 2009 study conducted by V?ronique Boulenger, Olaf Hauk and Friedemann Pulverm?ller on the brain's response to fiction. Ms. Paul writes that the study concluded that the human brain apparently cannot distinguish between an experience it reads about and one that it encounters. The importance of this is that as far as the brain is concerned, what it thinks about is just as real as what it experiences.
In a study conducted a year earlier at the William Beaumont Hospital, 15 women suffering from interstitial cystitis were asked to visualize the healing of their bladder twice a day over a period of eight weeks. These women experienced less discomfort and pain than those who did not visualize. These and many other research studies strengthen the case for the human mind being able to create or influence its own reality.
Actual examples abound in different fields of endeavour include basketball great Larry Bird who used to come out onto the court long before everyone else and spend a few minutes just imagining himself making shot after shot after shot, in all sorts of conditions. Only after this mental exercise would he start actually taking his practice shots. Actor Will Smith mentioned in an interview that he had visualized his own success years before he finally experienced success. These two men truly understood how to be successful.
Here are a handful of quick steps you can do to get what you want out of life.
1. Define success. Begin with the end in mind.
2. Visualize the goal as a present reality.
3. Set realistic goals that support your vision of success.
4. Work your plan.
Do YOU truly understand how your mind controls your success and failure. Many people have no clue how to be successful yet if taught how to correctly use the mind to their advantage massive success is at the fingertips.

TAIPEI, Taiwan --?
Hundreds of demonstrators in the Taiwanese capital Taipei have gathered to demand the release of a Taiwanese businessman arrested in China. The man is accused of broadcasting programming about the banned spiritual group Falun Gong on a Chinese TV station.
China's official Xinhua News Agency says that Chung Ding-pan was detained for endangering public security, after he broadcast the pro-Falun Gong programming in Jiangxi province.
No details were given on how the 53-year-old gained access to the Jiangxi station's signal.
At Monday's protest, Falun Gong spokeswoman Chu Wan-chi said Chung was in China to visit relatives. She said she had no information on the allegations against him, but acknowledged he was a Falun Gong follower.
China banned Falun Gong in 1999 as an evil cult and persecutes its adherents.

The event was sold out, with nearly 90 people pitching business ideas. Some 12 groups then formed around the 12 best-received ideas, and the 54-hour marathon to create a Startup business was on.
Many ideas were based on social media and mobile apps. The weekend was also trending on Twitter and a simultaneous Startup Weekend was streaming live from San Diego. It was truly a social media event.
Event organiser Jessica Gillon said beforehand that drama was expected. By Saturday morning tension was already starting to build, with some team members even defecting to other groups.
However, groups then re-established with their new members and activity was running smoothly once more.
Mentors were also available to help direct the different groups. The mentors had training and success in areas such as marketing, business, and law. Mentors were both physically present, as well as virtually, with entrepreneurs available via Skype from San Diego, Copenhagen, Trondheim, Washington DC, and Fes.
Businesses were then pitched again before lunch on Saturday. The new pitches, based on the 12 original pitches, were more purposeful and defined. Group members had a clearer direction on what they wanted to achieve.
Groups were then left to continue with development, customer validation, and further mentoring throughout the afternoon.
Updates were given on the Saturday night, with business prototypes made, and even some customers already acquired. Head Coach and co-organiser Alan Froggatt said teams were ?on timeline? and ?settled?. This continued well into the night with one team operating until past 3am despite the venue being closed at 1am.
A hitch on Saturday night saw the lighting go out while groups were still operating. This didn?t seem to deter operations, though, as everybody seemed to be in high spirits.
Sunday morning provided the final countdown for the weekend.
Global Facilitator and co-organiser Dave Moskovitz said that everybody was ?under tremendous pressure and responding really, really well?.

One of the most popular online jobs today is paid surveys. In fact, more and more people have tried their luck on paid online surveys to earn extra money. This kind of job is very convenient and easy as you no longer need to leave the confines of your office or house. All you need is a reliable computer and internet connection. You can even work on a part time basis.?Take note however that not all online paid surveys are for real. Many companies and websites offer paid online surveys but you can?t be sure which ones are fake and which ones are not.?
Before you begin looking for an online paid survey, it is highly recommended that you do some research about the company or website offering the survey. You can use Google or Yahoo for instance to look for reviews and comments about the site offering paid surveys. This way, you will be able to find out whether the site is legitimate or fraudulent. Usually, fake survey websites are blacklisted so you would have an idea about this especially when other people share the names of the companies on the blacklist.
Ask people around
Another way you can check whether an online paid survey website is for real is to ask some people around who are into online surveys. These people will likely have an idea as to which online surveys are legitimate. Ask them to refer you to legitimate online surveys.
Watch out for scams?
You also have to watch out for scams on online paid surveys. So how can you determine scams? One of the signs that an online paid survey is fake is that they promise people that they would pay three months after they have accumulated the money. A legitimate online paid survey usually offers monthly or bi-monthly payments. Another indicator that a survey site is legitimate is that they are not available worldwide. For instance, they may offer only surveys to local residents in the United States. As such, they have limitations on their business operations. You also have to be extra careful about online paid surveys that require you to pay a fee before they hire you. Some of these sites would ask you to purchase a survey kit for a certain amount but they would not be sending you any surveys at all. You would only be wasting money away.
Before you start working on online paid surveys, it?s best to find out whether they?re legitimate or not. You wouldn?t want to end up being a victim of a fake online survey right?

Attention entrepreneurs: K9 Ventures, an early-stage VC fund that has backed some of the more exciting startups to hit the world in the last few years, is raising another fund. K9 Ventures II is a $40 million tech fund that will, once again, be dedicated to seed stage investments. The key difference this time around investments will be between?$250,000 - $750,000. "This will allow us to potentially lead the seed round," writes Manu Kumar in a blog post. The previous, eponymous fund was for early-stage investments in the range of $100,000-$250,000. As with the last fund, Kumar notes that?K9 Ventures II will still be "syndicating most investments with other seed and angel investors." The fund is backed, he says, by?"several high quality institutional limited partners including university endowments, foundations, family offices and fund of funds and key individuals." None are named specifically.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/1IKTptDgizo/

Google has gone and pushed out a pretty nice looking, 'interactive weather visualization' for weather searches on tablets. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to the new Google Now service introduced with Jelly Bean, searching for weather in a particular location in Google on your tablet, now brings up what we see here. It was rolled out to smartphone searches a few weeks ago, so it seems only right that tablets aren't left out.
You'll get to see a pretty detailed snapshot of current, and upcoming weather information for your area. There's an hourly forecast to scroll through, equally there's also a ten-day forecast too. And, it looks pretty darn good. After all, who ever said that looking at the weather forecast had to be dull?
It works -- as you would expect -- on Chrome, but we've also verified that it works too on the stock Android browser. Go ahead, give it a try in your browser of choice.
And, for a little pro tip, why not add a weather search for your home, work, whichever chosen location, to your bookmarks in the stock browser on your device. Add that bookmark to your homescreen, and you've got yourselves a pretty powerful local weather forecast, right at your fingertips.

LONDON (AP) ? Three British Muslims ? including a convert who was featured in a documentary about radical Islam and a former London police support officer ? have been charged with traveling to Pakistan for terror training, police said early Thursday.
Scotland Yard said in a statement that Richard Dart, 29, Imran Mahmood, 21, and Jahangir Alom, 26, had traveled to Pakistan between 2010 and 2012 "with the intention of committing acts of terrorism or assisting another to commit such acts."
The statement also alleges that the three provided others with advice and counseling about how to travel to Pakistan, find training, and how to stay safe while there.
Dart was featured in a recent BBC documentary, "My Brother the Islamist," which chronicled the efforts of his filmmaker stepbrother Robb Leech to understand why the former had rejected his family and embraced an uncompromising form of Islam.
Alom ? who was arrested in an armed raid at his home only a mile (1.6 kilometers) from London's Olympic Stadium ? was identified by Scotland Yard as a former police support officer. Police said, however, that the case is not Olympics-related.
Both men have appeared in YouTube videos in which they expound on their hardline beliefs.
Police did not immediately release much information on Mahmood. His address was given as down the street from London's Royal Air Force base Northolt, where Typhoon jets and other military elements are due to provide security for the 2012 Games, which begin July 27.
The force also said that a fourth person, 22-year-old Ruksana Begum, was charged with having material likely to be of use for terrorism.
