Introducing our new site: Human Rights and Liberties

Comment is free coverage of human rights and civil liberties has been improved and updated

When we launched

Comment is free Liberty Central site in January 2009, threats to individual rights and freedoms seemed a little different. The Labour government had planned to introduce compulsory identity document, CCTV has been a hot topic and the board seemed to enjoy extraordinary powers to monitor the activities of people. On the other hand, some things have not changed: Jack Straw described the parts of the Act on the rights of "bad" letter ", the right to a fair trial was threatened, and there were concerns about Government plans to collect information about individuals in a database.

We covered all these topics in Comment is free, but noted that "Liberty Central" was not the best title under which organized. First, the Tea Party movement in the United States - not a natural ally for the Guardian - has been appropriated expression. Second, there is a strong political tension between the words "human rights" and "civil liberties." The left, with its (usually) support instinctive Act rights, tend to gain weight for the first law, which prefers to speak of "responsibility" and would prefer a bill on HRA rights, chose the latter. Civil liberties are also an important aspect of American political debate. Both are essential and we tried to recognize in our new title, rights and freedoms.

Algeria A quick analysis of election results Reuters

Algeria said on Friday that his party in power for the last 50 years, the winner of the elections, against the current "Arab Spring" that has turned some of its neighbors.

The ruling elite of Algeria, which supplies about a fifth of the natural gas imported from Europe, promised reform and a new generation of leaders in response to the unrest last year in the region, but choice preserves the status quo.

Interior Minister Daho Ould Kablia, who oversaw the election on Thursday, said that the National Liberation Front (FLN) is the largest party in the new parliament, with 220 of 462 seats .

The FLN was the movement that fought for independence from French colonial rule and was the center of power in Algeria since.

"No change", political scientist and writer Abed Charef told Reuters. "Algeria has invented inertia."

official results gave the second National Democratic Rally (RND), with 68 seats. RND is headed by Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia and finished second in the FLN in the outgoing parliament.

fourth was the secular Socialist Forces Front, opposition groups oldest Algeria, which ended more than a decade working for a boycott of the election.

The "Arab spring" last year prompted calls for Algeria to accept greater democracy and renewal of an establishment that has ruled the country continuously since independence from France in 1962. leaders of Algeria said that people promising "spring Algerian" -. Controlled process of reform, with the election of the first step Thursday

However, it was clear that the election was not a break with the past. More than half of voters abstained, and many say they do not believe there would be a real change ...

Algerians hoped the "Arab Spring" would lead to reform in his country were dismissive of elections.

Yacine Zaid , a human rights activist and critic of the ruling elite, called the election "a farce, a circus ... The authorities have always dared to do what they want, what the numbers are in your head. "

Reuters adds that the EU election observers say the organization of the election was a success. "Citizens are, in general, can effectively exercise their right to vote," said Salafranca, head of the observer mission of the EU.

Algeria

election results have been announced seems incredible - and against the recent trend in other Arab countries.

party of President Bouteflika, the FLN, which has dominated Algerian politics since the 1950s, won 84 more seats than in 2007. National Democratic Rally Prime Minister won seven more seats.

Algeria
We are still awaiting the official results of the election Algeria, which had previously. The Green Alliance alleged Islamist "centralized fraud" (see 13:35) and it is possible that the arguments behind the scenes are the cause of delay.

There were wild variations in the minutes of the results. Before, it seems that the former ruling party, the FLN won 100 of 462 seats in parliament, with Islamists on the other hand, a little behind.

Al-Arabiya quoted

then head of the FLN Abdelaziz Belkhadem saying his party won 189 seats.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that the figures published in a private TV channel showed Algerian Islamists ranking third behind two pro-government parties.

Syria: State television said security forces have foiled a car bomb in attempt Aleppo today, reports Daily Star of Beirut. Security forces said they killed the terrorist, who had 1,200 kilograms of explosives inside the car.

3:10 p.m.

15:01: Syria:

The Government sent two identical letters TODAY ' Today the head of the Security Council of the UN and the Secretary General of the UN, after double bombing in Damascus, the official SANA news agency reports.

The letters called on the Security Council to "assume its responsibilities in the fight against terrorism and countries that sponsor terrorism faced," said Sana:

escalating crimes prove that Syria is facing a terrorist attack by groups who received weapons and financial support on the sides that have announced support for these terrorist crimes and encouraged to commit. ..

Those who commit these acts of terror and those who support and finance them do not want to reform Syria and its people. On the contrary, it seems clear that, with all the reform measures taken by the government, including a new constitution for the country and the elections that reflect political pluralism, terrorist acts of murder and destruction have increased even more.

armed terrorist groups not only violates the terms of the Special Envoy of the UN and the initial understanding, but also attacked the convoy of the head of the observer mission of the UN and its partners, May 9, when he went to Daraa province to carry out its task.

But events were filmed in fairly large Al-Habeet, Idlib and Hama Souran where a child had a banner in English read ". We strongly condemn the bombings in Damascus and want the UN to investigate who made "

13:35:

Algeria Islamist coalition accuses the authorities "massive fraud" parliamentary elections yesterday, the Associated Press reports:

Abderrazak Mukri, a spokesman for the Islamist alliance, said that the preliminary results of the alliance are looking through the Ministry of the Interior differ significantly from those observed by observers from alliance.

He told reporters in Algiers that "a centralized fraud is to put the country in danger."

He accused President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, adding "we are not responsible for what could happen" as a result of the alleged fraud.

AP says preliminary estimates show that the former ruling party, the National Liberation Front (FLN), winning more than 100 seats, while the Islamist movement "Green Alliance" will receive a little less to Assembly 462-seat. (Al-Arabiya, meanwhile, the FLN leader Abdelaziz Belkhadem said that his party won 189 seats.)

Several independent newspapers have expressed skepticism about the figure of the Government of the final participation of 42.9%, which suggests that the real figure is lower, says AP.

Syria

Syria: French newspaper Libération interviewed Peter Harling The expert based in Damascus, Syria to the International Crisis Group, the deterioration of the situation and prospects of survival for the Annan plan. Harling said:

The UN mission and would have collapsed if there was a credible alternative. But the Annan Plan was born precisely the inability of the international community to agree a clear policy on the Syrian issue.

This, ironically, is what should give some resistance: in the absence of a plan B, stick to plan A, without believing. Thus, those who defend the mission apparently do little to help in practice: the Russians have only a slight pressure on the regime, while some Arab and Western countries to gradually increase their support to the opposition

Harling also suggests that military intervention may ultimately be inevitable:

Pornography - review

Chapter, Cardiff

With its production of Caryl Churchill's Serious Money obtained last year, Waking attacks has become a theater to see the young Welshman. In this fun take on Simon Stephens set in London in the days covering Live 8, the successful Olympic and the attacks of 7/7, once again offer very original, exciting theater.

The game presents some challenges. It is written with an open structure, without the names of the characters to be played by any number of players, and to start and stop, if it decides. What we see in fragments and streams of consciousness, are transgressions: a student teacher sex maniac, incestuous siblings, a woman who receives his own back on his head. One of the offenders is a bomber 7/7, the story of your mix with others in a mixture surprisingly without moral judgment or hierarchy.

performance - accept the ambiguity of the work and fulfill his physical assault with a dizzying existential head. Drag and Alyson Cummins upend already Approximate assembly, disassembly and dismantling, and tell their unforgettable stories. The chaos of the lives of its characters, and the intensity with which depicts compelling games extraordinary Lincoln Barrett, dense sound, mixing audio porn movies, video games, news clips, music, radio and microwave pings .

throughout the show, falling confetti after explosions - flavor of the celebration of fireworks, explosives, but also - and momentarily blinding bright lights are made public. The overall effect is unpredictable, restless and, apart from a few places where the lack of conventional structure results in a slight deflation of rhythm, theater exciting.

6000000 and the Abel Prize [video] | @GrrlScientist

there in the structure of luck? According to a mathematical proof published in 2012, winner of the Abel Prize, Endre Szemerédi, yes, there

I can not believe they did not tell you about it before, so I'll remedy that situation right now. There are several international awards for mathematics: the Fields Medal is awarded every four years to two, three, or four mathematicians under the age of 40. The other is the Abel Prize, which is awarded annually by the King of Norway to one or more calculations for a career outstanding scientific work in the field of mathematics, and comes with a cash prize of NOK 6 million ( over 1 million U.S. dollars). Since the Abel Prize has no age restrictions, like the Nobel Prize, and is therefore often referred to as the "Nobel Prize of Mathematics". In fact, the original inspiration for the Nobel Prize was Abel: When you learned that Alfred Nobel did not intend to launch a prize for mathematics, the Abel Prize was created to fill the void.

Unfortunately, much time has elapsed before the mathematics prize was created. However, since 2003, the prize was first awarded by the Norwegian government, and (fortunately) still receives annually. The award aims to advertise for mathematics, so that the discipline's most prestigious, especially for young people.

Abel this year was awarded to Hungary and American mathematician Endre Szemerédi, "for his fundamental contributions to discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science [more than 200 articles published in a variety of fields], and recognition of the profound and lasting impact of these contributions in additive number theory and ergodic theory. " Ergodic theory applies to the behavior of dynamic systems, where "almost all points of a subset of the phase space may examine all." (In fact, I think that the ergodic theory mathematical explanation of why, for example, human beings are doomed to repeat our past history, but it may not actually be what you mean at all. But I digress.)

A mathematical proof

important that the teacher Szemerédi published shows that there is a structure to randomness. It certainly seems contradictory, since the definition of chance is based on

missing

Structure

or repetition.

But offer you: write a sequence of integers that you think is random, then look carefully and you'll see a sort of mathematical model. For example, we choose a set of integers between 1 and 15:

1, 4, 6, 7, 10, 14

We can see that 1, 4, 7 and 10 form an arithmetic progression, where the difference between these figures is the same (3). Knowing this, we'll go back and choose intentionally numbers where no discernible pattern of differences between them:

1, 2, 4,

on the basis of these figures, we can choose 6 ...


  • 1, 2, 4, 5,
  • and now we can not choose between 7 or 8 ...

    So as you can see, the choice of a series of random numbers, numbers that have no discernible pattern, is not trivial. In fact, as shown Szemerédi theorem, it is impossible.


    If it is not interesting enough for you, as an independent information, it is not really practical for daily test. Many of us use credit cards or online banking to pay bills and buy things. How can we be sure that our data (and money!) Is it safe? One way to do this is to use the RSA cryptography. Basically, when you or I communicate online with our bank or credit card issuer, our instructions are transformed into what looks like a series of digital gibberish so that only the intended recipient - the bank - you can read it. This message usually includes an encryption key can be encrypted if it is only a third party can understand the message and the key, and decode it. Which is bad news for you because you will be stuck with a huge bill!

    But RSA cryptography has solved this problem by using prime numbers - often very large prime numbers - the key messages. Primes complicate this scenario because they are a small subset of the regular issues that are rare and unpredictable, which makes it difficult to guess. The bank is a prime number, then the account holder to another. It is only by knowing the person two numbers can effectively communicate with the bank - and the bank knows that the two numbers. Since primes are rare and unpredictable, even when the data flow between the account owner and the bank is captured by a third party, the task of identifying

    that

    number first in the packaging is the key account holder digital is very difficult, if this method works so well.

    Derry, Ivanovic and Balotelli cases show the FA is not on the ball | Jamie Jackson

    The Board insists that the action is retrospective for the ball incidents, but the argument has no meaning

    Shaun Derry

    -In-Branislav Ivanovic Mario Balotelli farce, the Football Association confirmed the sanction of a player despite what many consider blatant dive opponent, video evidence was used to pay for another alleged violent conduct and will not be retroactively punished for third X-rated challenge because the incident was seen, but not good enough, by one or more of the four officers present.

    disciplinary Welcome to the strange world of English football in 2012. Definition is inconsistent, enigmatic other, but a neologism is necessary to do justice to an incomprehensible mixture of the Three Stooges, Basil Fawlty and Bleak House has once again made the game inside an object of ridicule.

    Wednesday evening, Derry is located outside of the meeting Queens Park Rangers' with Swansea City despite Diving Ashley Young Manchester United's 2-0 win at Old Trafford on Sunday. Ivanovic for Chelsea ask to book a punch landed on alleged Shaun Maloney Wigan Athletic during their match at Stamford Bridge yesterday. Manchester City, however, are able to appeal to Balotelli so it may still be crucial final three games of the Premier League after searching his mark on Alex Song unpunished, both during the 1-0 defeat against Arsenal in the last match of the weekend as the FA has reviewed the case.

    forward Martin Atkinson, the referee, his assistants Darren Cann and Peter Kirkup and fourth referee Andre Marriner: Emirates Stadium Four song somehow missed Balotelli caught with an entry that could have ended their season and its been ruined.

    "retrospective action was put in place by the ball incidents where there was no contest for possession and could not be considered a new incident arbitrate. According to FIFA, so that "not seen" incidents retrospectively treated in England. a policy which is in agreement with all those involved in football. "

    The last sentence should highlight not only FA mandarins and match officials, but in all clubs, players and managers, as the Professional Footballers' Association, the League Managers Association 92 members Premier League and Football League signed for the system is now widely condemned.

    So what can be done to prevent future similar mess? Perhaps the FA Cup could push the idea supposed to be allowed to sneak "space" reofficiate or incidents that are only partially when the gray area beside inevitably arises.
