Jeremy Clarkson of TopGear Sacked!

Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson, age 54, of popular TV series, TopGear, has been sacked.
I was amazed as you are when when BBC, the host of the popular TV motoring series, TopGear, announced that its contract with co-host, Jeremy Clarkson, will not be renewed.

Jeremy Clarkson, a British journalist whose specialty is on motoring started work with BBC in 2002 has ended his appointment with BBC in 2015 following his involvement in a physical attack with one of TopGear's producer, Oisin Tymon. The fight took place in Yorkshire Hotel. It was confirmed that Jeremy attacked the producer because "No Hot Food Was Served After The Day's Filming"

During the attack, the victim was struck by Jeremy resulting into bleeding and swelling of the victim's lips. Jeremy was also accused of engaging the victim in 30seconds verbal abuses. According to investigation, the victim did not file a formal complaint against Jeremy. Jeremy reported himself to the authority.

Following this, Jeremy was suspended in March 10 and was later dismissed after he was found guilty of the offense. BBC director, Tony Hall, has confirmed Jeremy's dismissal. The development has attracted over a million comments from fans to reinstate Jeremy. However, Tony Hall has also confirmed that Jeremy's dismissal was irrevocable stating that Jeremy had crossed the line.

The question is, can TopGear live without Jeremy Clarkson?

Comments please.

Bomb Threat Via Twitter To American Airlines Causes Chaos

A Twitter user who claimed to be from the terrorist group ISIS has caused chaos after a threat tweet that reads "AmericanAir No, There is a bomb on flight 1192, We are ISIS, we will (expletive) you guys up, #ISIS"

The airline, flight 1192, from Los Angeles made an emergency landing in Chicago O'Hare following a bomb threat. The social media, Twitter, recently suspended a user with twitter handle @RansomTheThug after the user posted that there was a bomb on board United Airlines with flight number 223. The flight was thoroughly searched but nothing harmful was detected.

The development has been a season of bomb threat to the American airlines following another threat which was directed to JetBlue flight from Boston to Palm Beach. The airline preparing to take off was returned to the gate to be searched by detectives but nothing hazardous was found. On Saturday in Atlanta, two flights in air were escorted by military jet fighter F-16 after another bomb threat via Twitter.

Investigation has started by agencies in charge of airline securities to track down the source(s) and whoever is behind the threat.  Last year, a bomb threat of such was traced down to a 14year old Dutch girl after she posted on Twitter page with Twitter handle @QueenDemetriax. She posted, "@AmericanAir hello my name is Ibrahim and I'm from Afghanistan. I'm part of Al Qaida and on June 1st I'm gonna do something really big" The 14year old was charged with "posting a false announcement"

The agencies in charge are set out to discover if the threats were from individual who post false announcement or it is beyond just a threat.

Farewell Password, Says Intel's True Key

There has been a great concern as regards security issues from password hack by hackers to forgotten password and security questions. I have accounts with a couple of social media websites such as Facebook, and Twitter and i have different passwords for them. Individual website requires many key tools such a combination of uppercase, lowercase, symbol, and numbers. Things really get messed up when you forget your password due to complications and you can't even remember your security questions.

According to the recent development by the tech security giant, Intel Securities, conventional passwords will be eradicated by 2018. The tech giant has announced, True Key, an application that will send password to its ancestors. Intel announced at the 2015 Consumer Electronic Show that the application, True Key, will be shortly be available for download and installed on mobile devices and computers.

How It Works
Once downloaded and installed, True Key takes a template facial image of the user and creates a mathematical representation of features like the distance between your eyes and other parts of your face. The calculations are encrypted and stored locally on your device.

The app is yet to be publicly available. However, a test run is available for limited people. To be among the few people to test run the app, follow the link below

MYSTERY BEHIND THE MISSING MALAYSIAN FLIGHT MH370

March 8 2014, a Malaysian Airline, Flight MH370, with 239 people on board took off from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and headed for Beijing, China. The airplane flew for 7 hours after its disappearance off the radar few hours after taking off.

 

According to report by officials, the airplane's last-known position was over the Southern Indian Ocean and it is likely the airplane crashed into the Ocean - much evidence has not been revealed to back-up this development. Malaysian officials said in a brief that the data report from the British Inmarsat revealed the plane flew south in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Perth, Australia. Hishammuddin Hussein, Malaysia's Acting Transportation Minister said he and his team will use methods such as information from satellite surveillance, analysis of surveillance radar data, increasing air and surface assets and increasing the number of technical and subject matter experts to come up with valid prove of the planes' disappearance. 

The recent news is that the search operation has been suspended due to bad weather in the Indian Ocean which is compared to the size of Alaska. The disappearance of the airplane remains a mystery as no distress message was received from the Pilot of the airplane. The airplane as at the time it went off the radar was logged out of the network at the ground station, apparently, the airplane was no longer communicating with the ground station.

 

Australian officials have described the search as looking for a needle in an ocean whose location is not yet known. Nothing less than 26 countries have joined in the search of the airplane that disappeared 3-weeks ago with 239 people on board. Families of the people on-board recently protested in front of the Airport with tears in their eyes. Some of them have also gone spiritual about it by offering prayers and chants to their *God, gods*. 

The where-about of the airplane still remains a mystery.
