“As well as the damage to benches it also damaged the plants and hanging baskets we had out and the CCTV wiring has also been damaged. It happened over a week ago and someone only came on Monday to put the barriers up and BT have looked at the damage a couple of times but that’s it. |
“I put some red and white tape up initially that I had left over for marking a safe area for Bonfire Night, to at least highlight it to the public for their general safety. I am hearing that people’s phone lines are suffering because of this, whether it is they can only receive calls or only make them and their lines a... |

Pope Francis has declared that all dogs can go to heaven in multiple erroneous media reports that have come out over the last couple of weeks. On Saturday, the Vatican finally squashed this Snopes fodder once and for all by explaining how numerous news outlets got it wrong. |
“There is a fundamental rule in journalism. That is double-checking, and in this case it was not done,” said Father Ciro Benedettini, the Vatican’s deputy spokesman. |
Benedettini and his staff have been busy fielding calls since Pope Francis allegedly said the comments to his general audience on November 26, Reuters reports. |
The first outlet to debunk the now-viral declaration was Religious News Service, which pointed the finger of blame at Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera on November 27. |
From there, everyone from CNN to the New York Times fell for it, and have since had to print retractions. |
This begs the question of what Pope Francis really thinks about pets. Reuters notes that his actions since taking over for Pope Benedict, who was decidedly non-pet-oriented, have been positive. |
While Benedict said outright that heaven was only for mankind, Francis has demonstrated an affection for animals, allowing one girl to place a lamb across his shoulders, shepherd-style, and stating that a good pastor “should know not only the names of his parishioners but also the names of their dogs,” Benedettini said... |
Of course, none of that is an outright admission that all dogs go to heaven or that dogs in heaven is even a sound biblical concept. However, it’s a softening from his immediate predecessor and a return to the “liberal” ideas of Pope John Paul (1990) on this subject. |
Bottom line in all this: until Pope Francis is ready to issue a formal declaration regarding where he thinks animals spend the afterlife, we won’t know one way or another. |
But what do you think about it, readers? |
If there is a God ready to take us in when our time on earth is finished, would he be willing to accept our Yorkshire terriers as well? Should Pope Francis weigh in on this or leave it be? And would you believe him one way or the other? Sound off in our comments section. |
1. Why is Apple tracking the location of my iPhone? |
Apple is not tracking the location of your iPhone. Apple has never done so and has no plans to ever do so. |
2. Then why is everyone so concerned about this? |
Providing mobile users with fast and accurate location information while preserving their security and privacy has raised some very complex technical issues which are hard to communicate in a soundbite. Users are confused, partly because the creators of this new technology (including Apple) have not provided enough edu... |
3. Why is my iPhone logging my location? |
The iPhone is not logging your location. Rather, it's maintaining a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers around your current location, some of which may be located more than one hundred miles away from your iPhone, to help your iPhone rapidly and accurately calculate its location when requested. Calculating a pho... |
4. Is this crowd-sourced database stored on the iPhone? |
The entire crowd-sourced database is too big to store on an iPhone, so we download an appropriate subset (cache) onto each iPhone. This cache is protected but not encrypted, and is backed up in iTunes whenever you back up your iPhone. The backup is encrypted or not, depending on the user settings in iTunes. The locatio... |
5. Can Apple locate me based on my geo-tagged Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data? |
No. This data is sent to Apple in an anonymous and encrypted form. Apple cannot identify the source of this data. |
6. People have identified up to a year's worth of location data being stored on the iPhone. Why does my iPhone need so much data in order to assist it in finding my location today? |
This data is not the iPhone's location data-it is a subset (cache) of the crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower database which is downloaded from Apple into the iPhone to assist the iPhone in rapidly and accurately calculating location. The reason the iPhone stores so much data is a bug we uncovered and plan to fi... |
7. When I turn off Location Services, why does my iPhone sometimes continue updating its Wi-Fi and cell tower data from Apple's crowd-sourced database? |
It shouldn't. This is a bug, which we plan to fix shortly (see Software Update section below). |
8. What other location data is Apple collecting from the iPhone besides crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data? |
Apple is now collecting anonymous traffic data to build a crowd-sourced traffic database with the goal of providing iPhone users an improved traffic service in the next couple of years. |
9. Does Apple currently provide any data collected from iPhones to third parties? |
We provide anonymous crash logs from users that have opted in to third-party developers to help them debug their apps. Our iAds advertising system can use location as a factor in targeting ads. Location is not shared with any third party or ad unless the user explicitly approves giving the current location to the curre... |
10. Does Apple believe that personal information security and privacy are important? |
Yes, we strongly do. For example, iPhone was the first to ask users to give their permission for each and every app that wanted to use location. Apple will continue to be one of the leaders in strengthening personal information security and privacy. |
deletes this cache entirely when Location Services is turned off. |
- In the next major iOS software release the cache will also be encrypted on the iPhone. |
The Dow may have plunged 512 points yesterday, but that didn't stop partiers from taking over the floor of the New York Stock Exchange mere hours after the markets closed. |
Autism Speaks, a non-profit that raises money for autism-related research, held its third annual summer gala for young professionals at the NYSE last night and from the looks of the photos, no one seemed too concerned about their portfolios. |
Vodka flowed, DJ Nick Russo spun, and of course, everyone goofed around with those telephones all over the floor. All the bankers were a few blocks away, drinking away their sorrows on Stone Street. |
Guest of a Guest has been kind enough to share some pictures from their gallery of the event with us; be sure to check out the full gallery here. |
TROY, Mich. (WXYZ) — A 42-year-old man has been charged with the murder of his 61-year-old mother in Troy, officials say. |
Uriah Lee Scott was arraigned Saturday on a charge of open murder, was denied bail and will be held at the Oakland County Jail, according to Troy police. |
On March 20, a relative called Troy officers to the 2100 block of Shelley for a welfare check on 61-year-old Cynthia Scott. She had reportedly not been seen or heard from since March 18, police say. |
During the welfare check, officers found the victim dead in a bedroom, concealed beneath items and partially inside a closet within the home. |
The Oakland County Medical Examiner's Office conducted an autopsy the following day and determined the woman died from blunt force trauma. |
Her son, Uriah Lee Scott, had recently moved in with her, police say. Scott was located and arrested on March 20 at an Oak Park home. He had reportedly been staying at the Oak Park residence since March 18. |
Police say another resident of the Shelley address was taken into custody on March 20, but has since been released without charges at this time. |

Moynihan's classroom creates a lighthearted and open aura. |
Starting this 2018-19 school year, a fresh face has entered the teaching staff of the Biotechnology Institute of Carlmont High School (BTI). |
After teaching seventh-grade history at Ralston Middle School for five years, Lindsey Moynihan now aspires to apply a scientific aspect to Modern European History and U.S. History for tenth and eleventh graders in the BTI program. |
Moynihan’s lessons and teaching techniques within her history classes intertwines with the mission of the BTI program. |
In addition to instructing the subject of history, Moynihan also aims to create a personal relationship with each individual student. |
Through Moynihan’s effort to create bonds with her students and love for history, students are able to absorb all the content while enjoying the class. |
Moynihan’s teaching style also permits students to learn more about each other as a class. |
“Ms. Moynihan’s class will allow me to learn an abundance of the history of our country, but it’ll also let me get to know a lot about of the other students in my class that I didn’t know much about before,” Chloe Stanks, a junior, said. |
Above all, Moynihan hopes that her students will benefit the most they can from her class. |
Though Ranveer Singh is known to have a boisterous and fun off-screen personality, one has not really seen him in an out-and-out masala film – the kind of film which would give him the scope to bring his effervescent persona on the screen. That seems to change with the arrival of ‘Simmba’, his new film directed by Rohi... |
The film is an official remake of the Telugu hit ‘Temper’ and seems to have all the trappings of a proper Hindi masala film. Going by the trailer, the film seems to have just the right amalgamation of Rohit Shetty’s sensibilities and the kind of entertainment Telugu films provide its audience with. |
In the trailer, one can see Ranveer doing a lot of action, romancing Sara Ali Khan and mouthing dialogues that are bound to get the audience clapping and cheering when they see the film in the theatres. |
The Orava region was among those hit by snowy weather the most. |
January brought an unusual amount of snow to Slovakia. The whole country found itself covered but some parts struggled more than others. |
Traditionally, the Orava region in the north of Slovakia is among those hit by snowy weather the most. This was also so in January 2019 when there was a calamity in the village of Oravská Lesná and its surroundings. |
The locals alone were not enough to remove the snow from the roads and roofs. Several hundreds of firemen, both professional and voluntary, and even soldiers helped to handle the emergency situation in Oravská Lesná. |
Anton Katrenčík from Oravská Lesná decided to film a video of the situation together with his friends. He wanted to show Oravská Lesná not as a village at the end of the world but as a place where people are used to having so much snow, the Sme daily wrote. The idea came after he talked with several people in Bratislav... |
“I said: It is fine, it’s absolutely normal,” Katrenčík said in an interview for Sme daily. He stayed at home a few days before his flight to Spain, to help his mother to remove the snow and that was the time the video came into being. He cut it at the airport, wrote the scenario and paid USD 14 for dubbing. |
An abattoir in Norway will produce halal reindeer meat for the first time. |
Muslims around the world are for the first time set to enjoy reindeer meat, after an abattoir in Norway started slaughtering reindeer according to halal meat standards. |
Harry Dyrstad, who owns the Vilteksperten abattoir, has employed a certified halal butcherto slaughter 100 reindeer and distribute them as far as places like Dubai. |
The Islamic Council of Norway granted their approval after visiting the abattoir, which will begin by giving Muslims in Norway the opportunity to eat reindeer ham, which is very popular in Norway. |
Reindeer meat often comes from ethnic Sami people who live in northern Scandinavia and have been farming reindeer for centuries as their main livelihood. |
