    When writting an SMS message, the numbers 4 5683 968 translate to "I love you". Taken from the alphabet where as the key number 2 is abc, 3=def, so on and so forth.

    4 = I

    5 = L
    6 = O
    8 = V
    3 = E

    9 = Y
    6 = O
    8 = U there is a lot to be worried about out there

    Gene ID: 970 - The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This cytokine is a ligand for TNFRSF27/CD27. It is a surface antigen on activated, but not on resting, T and B lymphocytes. It induces proliferation of costimulated T cells, enhances the generation of cytolytic T cells, and contributes to T cell activation. This cytokine is also reported to play a role in regulating B-cell activation, cytotoxic function of natural killer cells, and immunoglobulin sythesis.

    What gripping information was that ? :D

    +972 Magazine is a blog-based web magazine that was established independently in August 2010 by a group of writers based in Israel and the Palestinian territories.

    +972 has 11 regular writers and editors. It also publishes contributions by guest contributors. The enterprise is jointly owned by the authors and editorial team and is non-profit.[citation needed] The content on +972 Magazine represents a point of view that is left wing and progressive. Writer Noam Sheizaf, +972 chief executive officer and site manager as of 2012, described the impetus for +972 as a "will to sound a new and mostly young voice which would take part in the international debate regarding Israel and Palestine."

    The name of the magazine is derived from the 972 international telephone area code that is shared by Israel and the Palestinian territories. The plus sign indicates the familiar area code prefix; it also symbolizes the magazine’s guiding ethos of providing an additional perspective to the Israeli news scene, one that was missing from the discourse about Israel and Palestine.

    Evening anti - how goes it over in Oz ?

    Easy to select: These controllers are capable of controlling all static (normal and low temperature) and ventilated (low temperature) refrigeration units currently on the market. They also extend the scope for use in catering applications (e.g. heated display cabinets), with the parameter-selectable hot/cold option

    Easy to configure: They include four default applications for speeding up installation. The menus facilitate quick learning of the functions.

    Easy to use: Everything is under control thanks to the large-digit display and coloured status icons. Dedicated push-buttons provide direct access to the main functions.

    On attacking a small convoy, one of the escorts, the British patrol craft HMS St. Kenan, rammed and depth charged the boat. Damage to the periscope forced U-979 to return to Bergen.
    Schnorchel-fitted U-boat
    This boat was fitted with a Schnorchel underwater-breathing apparatus and sailed equipped with it in August 1944 but it was of course installed prior to that date.

    I would venture to suggest now is not the time to be investing in a lottery ticket what with the run of luck you are having weatherwise

    It was March of 1974 and British European Airways ground crews had gone on strike. This action left many United Kingdom-bound passengers stranded in Europe. Many travellers had managed to get to other international airports in hopes of getting a seat on other airlines. On the morning of the 3rd, one such flight that had many empty seats was THY Turkish Airlines flight 981, service from Istanbul to London via Paris. Only 167 passengers were aboard the 345 seat DC-10, 50 of those scheduled to get off in Paris.

    Climbing through 13,00ft, 981's radar label disappeared from ATC's radar screen just as a garbled transmission came over the frequency. In the background, words in Turkish followed by a pressurization warning and then an overspeed warning were heard. Continued calls from ATC went unanswered. Shortly after, calls came in to area police stations reporting a large explosion in the forest north of the Paris area. When rescuers reached the scene, only bits of the aircraft remained intact in the large area cut out by the crash. All 346 people aboard the aircraft were killed
