9 Fun Things You Can Do During Earth Hour 2012

On March 31 at 8:30 pm, WWF’s Earth Hour will begin. Started in 2007, Earth Hour is a symbolic act to get us thinking about our planet and our impact on it. But more than that, it’s also part of a simple idea to start an environmental resolution in 2012 -- this is not only about one hour in the dark, it’s about a brighter future. But even though you're switching off your lights and electronic appliances for the environment this weekend, you don't have to sit twiddling your thumbs in the dark. There is still a lot you can do without using a watt of electricity this Saturday. Earth Hour can be as fun as it is good for the planet, and if you're looking for some entertaining ways to spend it you're in luck because we've rounded up 9 fun activities that are sure to deliver a good time completely off-grid!

1. Have a candle-lit dinner using menus from celebrity chefs

Celebrate the hour with your partner, friends or family and have a candlelit dinner with your own tasty dishes based on WWF’s Livewell principles, which has been created for healthy people and a planet with a brilliant future. Download their dinner party guide or get inspired by the menus created by celebrity chefs who are supporting the Livewell principles.

2. Invite friends around for a pub quiz and board games by candlelight

IWWF’s Earth Hour is all about people coming together to celebrate our world. If you’ve decided to invite friends over, the Earth Hour team has created a fantastic Pub Quiz to download to make the most of the night while the lights remain off.

3. Take a wildlife walk or go star-gazing

Get closer to nature while doing something for your health and well-being by taking a night walk or going star-gazing. And if you don’t have a telescope, don’t worry. Just darkness, a blanket and hot drinks will be enough for a perfect star-gazing hour.

4. Go for a nightime city walk

If you are a “city animal”, why not take a walk around town and see what has switched off in your city? Last year many landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House, the Tour Eiffel and Big Ben switched off their lights in honor of Earth Hour. This year is sure to find more participants, so be sure to check out what else is happening.

5. Go for a nighttime bike ride

Cycling is not a trend, it’s part of a sustainable lifestyle. Everyday more people decide to leave their car at home and start cycling. And once you’ve started cycling, you can’t stop. So why not go for a ride during the hour?

6. Try candle-lit yoga or exercise

“Mens sana in corpore sano,” says the famous Latin quotation. WWF’s Earth Hour is a moment for appreciating the brilliant world we all share, and how we need to protect it. Use this time to pursue a more sustainable and healthy lifestyle.

7. Have an unplugged jam session at home

Invite your friends over and unplug while you enjoy some in-house music. If you want to learn more on how you can reduce your energy demand, you can find more tips on WWF’s Earth Hour website.

8. Read a bed time story

Light a candle to create a cozy atmosphere, and transform your favorite bedtime story into a fantastic journey of the imagination.

9. Get a light switch-widget for your website or blog

For the bloggers, tumblrs, and more, there is a light switch on the Earth Hour website you can use to help support the cause by going lights out. But don’t worry about your visitors leaving, they can still remove the pull cord if they like.

Nightmare' zoo at Indonesia

This news is very embarrassing for indonesia. I as Indonesian citizen, and I am veryembarrassed by this news. I quote this News from Telegraph.co.uk. Check this out.

The tigers are emaciated and the 180 pelicans packed so tightly they cannot unfurl their wings without hitting a neighbour. Last week, a giraffe died with a beachball-sized wad of plastic food wrappers in its belly.

That death has focused new attention on the scandalous conditions at Indonesia's largest zoo. Set up nearly a century ago in one the most biologically diverse corners of the planet, it once boasted the most impressive collection in southeast Asia.

But today the Surabaya Zoo is a nightmare, plagued by uncontrolled breeding, a lack of funding for general animal welfare and even persistent suspicions that members of its own staff are involved in illegal wildlife trafficking.

Incredibly rare species, including Komodo dragons and critically endangered orang-utans, sit in dank, unsanitary cages, filling up on peanuts tossed over the fence by giggling visitors.

"This is extremely tragic, but of course by no means surprising in Indonesia's zoos, given the appalling way they are managed on the whole," said Ian Singleton, a former zookeeper who now runs an orang-utan conservation programme on Sumatra island.

The zoo came under heavy fire two years ago following reports that 25 of its 4,000 animals were dying every month, almost all of them prematurely. They included an African lion, a Sumatran tiger and several crocodiles.

The government appointed an experienced zookeeper, Tony Sumampouw, to clean up the operation and he struggled, with some success, to bring the mortality rate down to about 15 per month.

But following last week's death of the 30-year-old giraffe "Kliwon" – who had for years been eating litter and trash thrown into its pen and was found with a 18-kilogram (40-pound) ball of plastic in its stomach – Sumampouw said he has all but given up.

Nothing short of a "total renovation" is needed, he said.

"We need to either think about privatising or transferring out some of the animals."

With entrance fees of less than £1.50, critics say there's not enough money to care for the animals, much less invest in improving the zoo's facilities.

One of the biggest problems is overcrowding.

Whereas most zoos limit the number of animals born in captivity – taking into consideration how many can reasonably be cared for or exchanged with other zoos – the notion of "family planning" has not yet taken off here. Contraceptives are expensive and there are not adequate facilities to separate males and females. As result, species at the Surabaya zoo are bred to excess.

The 180 pelicans are kept in a pen the size of a volleyball court. Nearby, 16 tigers – 12 Sumatran and four Bengalese – are kept in a prison-like row of concrete cages.

One white tiger, whose parents were donated by the Indian government nearly 20 years ago, is now covered by skin legions.

Let out so rarely, she suffers from back complications that make it difficult to just stand up, let alone walk, zoo curator Sri Pentawati said.

"There are too many tigers," she lamented. "We have a hard time rotating them out to get all the exercise they need."

Rahmat Shah – a well known big-game hunter with a museum in the city of Medan that is filled with rhinos, big cats and other animals he's shot around the world – currently heads Indonesia's National Zoo Association. He says none of the zoos run by the government are in good condition, but that Surabaya is especially troubled, due to a bitter internal rift.

Two men who each claimed to be the zoo's chief were fired several years ago, but their followers among the staff have continued the feud.

Police believe the poisoning death of a Javan warthog in January, found with traces of cyanide in its stomach, was linked to that conflict.

"One side is always trying to discredit the other," said Ludvie Achmad, head of a local conservation agency.

Sumampouw acknowledged he has had little success in controlling the undisciplined staff.

He said he believes some animals, including three young Komodos that disappeared last year, were stolen by caretakers and sold into the exotic pet trade.

Zookeepers also have been accused of taking meat meant for the tigers and selling it in the local market.

Hacker Anonymous takes down security firm's website

Source : Computerworld

Panda Security says hack of PandaLabs did not breach company's internal network

Computerworld - Hackers claiming to belong to the Anonymous hacking collective early Wednesday defaced Panda Security's PandaLabs website in apparent response to the arrests of five hackers Tuesday in the U.K. and the U.S.

In a characteristically defiant message posted on PandaLabs' hacked homepage, Anonymous taunted the former LulzSec leader Sabu for helping the FBI nab the hackers, and vowed to carry on its hactivist campaign regardless of the setback.

"We are Antisec we'll fight till the end," the message noted. "To FBI and other s.... come at us bros we are waiting for you," it noted. The message was preceded by a seven-minute video clip set to the tune of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" that appeared to recap Anonymous' activities over the past year.

The attackers also posted what seemed to be the login credentials of numerous Panda Labs employees on the defaced homepage. They noted that the attack on the security firm's site was in retaliation for Panda's alleged role in helping law enforcement crack down on members of the hacking collective.

"They helped to jail 25 anonymous in different countries and they were actively participating in our IRC channels trying to dox many others," the attackers said in apparent reference to a series of arrests of Anonymous members last year. "Yep we know about you. How does it feels being the spied one?" the message asked.

In an emailed statement, a Panda Security spokeswoman said the hackers had obtained access to a Panda Security webserver that was hosted outside of Panda's internal network. This server was used only for marketing campaigns and to host company blogs, it said. "Neither the main website www.pandasecurity.com nor www.cloudantivirus.com were affected in the attack," the statement said.

"The attack did not breach Panda Security's internal network and neither source code, update servers nor customer data was accessed. The only information accessed was related to marketing campaigns such as landing pages and some obsolete credentials, including supposed credentials for employees that have not been working at Panda for over five years," the company said.

Prior to the attack, PandaLabs technical director Luis Corrons had posted a blog titled "Where is the Lulz Now" praising Tuesday's arrests.

The attack on Panda Labs comes less than 24 hours after the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York said it had arrested five prominent members of Anonymous and a splinter group LulzSec in raids in the U.K. and in Chicago. Among those arrested was an individual who is alleged to have been responsible for the Christmas Day hacks against security intelligence firm Strategic Forecasting (Stratfor).

Each of the individuals was indicted on computer hacking charges and faces a maximum of 20 to 30 years in prison if convicted.

The arrests were made with the help of Hector Monsegur, a New York native who was the leader of LulzSec before being arrested last year. Monsegur, who also used the handle "Sabu," pleaded guilty in August to 12 hacking charges and faces up to 124 years in prison. After his arrest, Sabu agreed to help the FBI go after other members of LulzSec and Anonymous in the hopes of receiving a reduced sentence.

The attackers of Panda's website this morning chided Monsegur for being a snitch. "Traison (sic) is something we don't forgive," the message noted. "Yeah Yeah we know...Sabu snitched on us. As usually happens FBI menaced him to take his sons away we understood."

The attackers noted that the arrests might well mean the end of LulzSec, but not of Anonymous. "Anonymous existed before LulzSec and will continue existing," the message read.

Analysts lauded the FBI's efforts in nabbing the alleged Anonymous hackers but had expressed doubt over the long-term impact it would have on the group's activities.

The arrests show that it is going to be increasingly hard for Anonymous to act with the kind impunity they have shown in the past, Rich Mogull, an analyst with Securois, had said. "But there's no way to predict where this will go," he noted.
