“Stacey Dooley investigates what is going on in her hometown of Luton and finds out why it is known as the extremist capital of Britain.
Stacey has spent her whole life in Luton. Media commentators all have their theories about what is happening there, but Stacey is uniquely placed to tell the story through the generation she grew up with – the people who are now shaping one of the most controversial towns in Britain.
Stacey meets friends – some wearing veils and others who are fully fledged EDL supporters. She goes to the heart of the Muslim community, dominated by one of the country’s most extreme Muslim groups, meeting both self-proclaimed radicals and those trying to counter them.
Is it all hype? Or is ‘L-town’ such a pick-and-mix of culture that extremists are attracted here like no other town in Britain?”

Sternstunde Religion. Das ewig unerledigte Konzil
Anfang Oktober sind es genau 50 Jahre her, dass Papst Johannes XXIII. in Rom das Zweite Vatikanische Konzil eröffnete. Mehr als 3 Jahre sollte dieses grösste Konzil der Kirchengeschichte, das die römisch katholische Kirche erneuern und zur Welt hin öffnen wollte, dauern. Ein halbes Jahrhundert danach fragen sich viele Christinnen und Christen an der Basis: Was ist aus diesem Reformprozess geworden? Nur Erinnerung?

RIVER OUT OF LUTON: NOTES ON THE MAKING OF A NEWSPRINT MONSTER
http://bedspsa.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/charlespsampg.pdf
Abstract: In August 2005, just a month after the announcement that London had succeeded in its bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games, the UK national press witnessed a brief rash of stories alleging the presence of a crocodile or similar water monster lurking beneath the surface of the River Lea – the river that runs from the town of Luton in Bedfordshire down to join the Thames adjacent to the Olympic site. This story re-emerged in November 2011 when a campaigner against the environmental impact of the Olympics on the river area claimed to have seen further evidence of crocodilian activity. This paper will explore the reasons for the proliferation of this story, in terms both of its function as a metonymic news-hook (it opened up directly related concerns as to the impact, organization and security of the Games) and of its metaphorical significance (its incarnation of a superstructure’s fears of an emerging threat of a monstrous underclass – one which might at once comprise terrorists, rioters and anti-establishment campaigners). It will conclude by suggesting that this monstrous myth might hold within it the possibility of the convergence of populist news media and popular democracy.

“Joining CAT-5 cable is often done using two RJ45 connectors and a 1-to-1 coupler. This, however, means there are now two extra joins in the cable, each a possible place where communications can be disrupted.”

“Android runs on a variety of devices that offer different screen sizes and densities. For applications, the Android system provides a consistent development environment across devices and handles most of the work to adjust each application’s user interface to the screen on which it is displayed. At the same time, the system provides APIs that allow you to control your application’s UI for specific screen sizes and densities, in order to optimize your UI design for different screen configurations. For example, you might want a UI for tablets that’s different from the UI for handsets.[…]”
