Louisiana: The world’s prison capital
In the US, one out of every 100 citizens is in prison and a bulk of the inmates are minorities. America holds a quarter of the world’s prisoners and Louisiana alone has thousands of inmates and is considered by some to be the prison capital of the world. The prison industrial complex has a vested interest in keeping people behind bars because they can bring in billions of dollars in profits. Rania Khalek, independent journalist, helps us take a closer look at the growing prison industrial complex.
Tal Golesworthy: How I repaired my own heart (#TED)
It is appalling the arrogance of the medical so called professionals that are so damn stuck on their effing egos that they keep their eyes closed. This is the true problem in the medical world, the attitudes of the arrogant bastards in charge!! – mlm
Tal Golesworthy is a boiler engineer — he knows piping and plumbing. When he needed surgery to repair a life-threatening problem with his aorta, he mixed his engineering skills with his doctors’ medical knowledge to design a better repair job.
Theme changes
I switched themes, to the default WordPress theme Twenty Eleven. I made a few modifications to the header title area by reducing it considerably compared to the default size. i also relocated the search box up a bit and made it wider, along with changing the title and descriptions colors.
Also as I type this I now noticed that the posting margins are now working again as they were not in the other theme. So I hoe you like it, if for any reason anything is hard to read please let me know by way of the comments and I will take a look at it. -mlm
Lightbox Blog — Lightbox is joining Facebook!
We started Lightbox because we were excited about creating new services built primarily for mobile, especially for the Android and HTML5 platforms, and we’re honored that millions of you have downloaded the Lightbox Photos app and shared your experiences with the Lightbox community.
Today, we’re happy to announce that the Lightbox team is joining Facebook, where we’ll have the opportunity to build amazing products for Facebook’s 500+ million mobile users.
This means we’re no longer accepting new signups. If you’re an existing user, you can continue to use Lightbox.com until June 15 and you can download your photos from here.
Facebook is not acquiring the company or any of the user data hosted on Lightbox.com. In the coming weeks, we will be open sourcing portions of the code we’ve written for Lightbox and posting them to our Github repository.
We’d like to thank the Lightbox community, our investors, and our families for supporting us during this journey. We’d also like to thank Giles Peyton-Nicoll, the Creative Designer behind Lightbox, who will be staying in the UK to pursue other opportunities.
