Some 2,000 Cuban households are getting to grips with free Internet access as part of a government-run pilot scheme in downtown Havana. Cuba has one of the lowest online connectivity rates in the world. Just five percent of its 11.2 million residents is estimated to have home Web access. Most Cubans can only access the Internet through public wi-fi hotspots. Leonor Franco and her sister, Margarita Lopez, were among those chosen to take part in the trial. “I had never had any experience with the Internet, not even with computers. I’ve only had the computer for two years. Before that (I had) a typewriter. I’m a typist, but with a typewriter. But a computer, just two years ago. It changed my life,” said Leonor. Margarita was equally enthusiastic. “It’s wonderful. It’s a dream come true for me. I had some things at the university where I worked that I always wanted to have at home and one of them was the Internet. If for nothing else, just to be able to send emails with my friends and family. That’s important,” she said. ETECSA, the island nation’s state telecoms company, is offering free Internet access until the end of February to assess the feasibility of nationwide connectivity. It has now also reduced the Web connection fee by 25 percent. Less

NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center recently upgraded the foam fire suppression system for our aircraft support hangar. The safety system uses high expansion foam, which contains less water and chemicals making it more environmentally friendly. The foam is used to help control damage in the event of a fire and prevent the loss of any aircraft. This video shows the new system being tested in the empty hangar to ensure that the consistency of the foam is correct and that it disperses quickly and evenly enough to suffocate a fire.

BEAUTIFUL thier wordscopy/paste: Here is my dual-engine 1955 Triumph 'Double Vision' on the dyno at Northern Ohio Ducati Triumph, where Stan Lipert helped test and tune before our trip out to Bonneville Speed Week 2013 at the salt flats. I subsequently broke 2 records, with a top speed of 152.5mph. We are now back from racing, and I have plans for coaxing more HP and more speed out of this machine, with goals of more records and higher speeds.

"Free speech" and "civil liberties" agenda in Britain's policy towards Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran, including broadcasting curfew, has justified military incursions and sanctions. There are contradictions between stated policy of freedom of speech and suppression of free speech in Britain, specifically opposition to the war in Iraq, where laws were introduced and enforced in attempts to silence critics. The case of weapons inspector David Kelly who was either murdered or committed suicide is a direct result of government efforts to deflect criticism from itself. In conclusion, Britain demands one thing but does another, thus speech is only "free" when it suits the political agenda of the government. In this week's INFocus, we discuss with experts, such as Norman Baker MP, who wrote a book claiming David Kelly was murdered and explained why this was the case. Less

The ATF performed a test on a 3D printed using the VisiJet material. It shattered into pieces right in front of them. I thought it's probably a good idea to post these videos before some bright spark tries to use a 3D printed gun that's been made out of the wrong material. However they tested another gun which was made from ABS plastic, which seemed to work much better. The team gave up after 8 rounds as the gun kept firing flawlessly. The 3D printed gun known as the liberator was created by Defence Distributed. They released the blueprints for the gun 6 months ago which have since been removed. over 100,000 people have downloaded the blueprints and no doubt they'll be found on other websites. 'The .380 bullets fired from the Liberator penetrate sufficiently to reach vital organs and perforate the skull.'

The US military has reportedly conducted field experiments of biological weapons in the Japanese island of Okinawa in the early 1960s. A Japanese news agency has said such tests were conducted at least a dozen times between 1961 and 1962. It added that Washington released rice-blast fungus over paddy-fields. The report says the US is believed to have had China and Southeast Asia in mind while developing such crop-harming agents. The fungus is estimated to destroy enough rice to feed 60 million people each year. Okinawa was under US rule until 1972 following World War Two. The United States is currently operating a military base on the island. Less

Iran successfully test-fires two new missiles on the eve of the 35th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution. Minister of Defense Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan says a new generation of ballistic missile with a fragmentation warhead is the first of the missiles tested on Monday. The missile can evade radar systems and is capable of causing great destruction. A laser-guided missile, dubbed Bina, which is from the class of surface-to-surface and air-to-surface missiles, has also been tested. Bina has been designed for use against bridges, tanks, command centers and other military targets. It can be fired from a plane or a boat to strike military targets with great precision. Less

Rudy is a panhandler who routinely works high-traffic intersections in the city begging for money. He claims to a homeless veteran down on his luck and has to beg for money just to get by. After being exposed by the local news for not being a veteran, he justifies his actions by saying that he kind of feels bad about it but he's "Gotta make some money somehow." One of Grand Rapid's local morning radio shows The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show, decided to go down to the busy corner where Rudy begs for his cash and call him out for what he is, a LIAR. Rudy doesn't like this too much and takes off on his sweet mountain bike. The next day the FBHWS decided to take over his corner and accepted donations for the Grand Rapid's Home for Veterans. Less
