English-proficiency test for
English-speaking immigrants 08/22/2004 07:30 AM
Cory Doctorow: Immigrants to the UK from English-speaking countries such as Canada and Australia must pass an English proficiency test in order to gain UK citizenship. The test is apparently very stringent:

According to one report two Australians, including a knight who has lived in Britain for 44 years and a writer with a degree in English, have been rejected under the new rules.

Missing persons geo-RSS feeds

Missing persons geo-RSS feeds 11/03/2003 08:25 PM
After AccordionGuy posted this missing persons report, I realized that missing persons reports would be a wonderful application for geo-tagged RSS feeds. If I could subscribe to all missing persons reports within 100 miles of me, odds are that I'd see at least one of them someday, identify them, and report it. The Amber Alert system is a wonderful idea, intended to let citizens know about missing persons the instant something happens; I feel that providing tech-enabled citizens with an easy way to see missing persons reports relevant to their locality would be a highly beneficial activity for a non-profit to take over. In the meantime, if you live in the Toronto vicinity, please click the link above and keep your eyes out; it's the most I can do from out here in the northwest....

Save The Children calls on release of
Iraqi children from jails. 07/08/2004 10:09 PM
Save The Children calls on release of Iraqi children from jails. This apparently in response to recent media reports on the abuse of children in Iraqi prisons. And it's not just Save the Children who is concerned, but UNICEF, Amnesty International, and the Red Cross. Infact, Congress has called for a special briefing tomorrow from the Pentagon on "confidential reports" from the Red Cross on prison conditions in Iraq. The Pentagon is closing the briefing to the public, however, and apparently thinks that even Congress shouldn't know the details of how we treat prisoners.
"It's something of a stretch of policy and procedures to give them to the Congress," Rumsfeld spokesman Larry Di Rita said.

Porn Filters For Adults

Porn Filters For Adults 04/16/2004 03:29 AM
The official target market for internet porn filters tends to be parents who want to make sure their children don't run across porn sites on the web (purposely or by accident). However, according to this Salon article, an increasing number of sales are going to adults who want to keep their spouses from accessing porn. There certainly have been plenty of stories about online porn or "online infidelity" leading to the breakup of marriages, but I do wonder whether or not placing a filter on the computer is just a way of whitewashing over a deeper issue. Obviously, if porn is getting in the way of a relationship, then there are bigger issues than just access to porn.

Another Kid Invents An Airport Device
Ignored By Adults

Another Kid Invents An Airport Device
Ignored By Adults 06/22/2005 02:17 AM
Apparently, the adults responsible for airport safety are so busy developing sophis ticated and silly< /a> devices, they're leaving it to kids to come up with the obvious ones. A while back, an Eagle Scout in the US creat ed a shoe scanner that interested people at Chicago's O'Hare airport. Now, a 12-year-old boy in Scotland has invented a device to monitor airport runways and notify pilots of debris that could interfere with landings and cause crashes. Basically, it's a camera mounted on a little platform with wheels, which rolls along the side of the runway. Folks at the British Airport Authority like the idea so much, they're working with the kid (and presumably some adults) to flesh it out into an actual product. Perhaps the young inventor is a precocious wunderkind, but you have to wonder what the adults have been doing all this time. The kid was inspired by the Concorde crash of 2000, which was supposedly caused by debris puncturing one of the plane's tires. Why has it taken five years to come up with a simple idea to prevent more runway disasters?

Video Games For Higher Purpose

More Adults Trying To Capitalize On
Video Games For Higher Purpose 04/15/2005 06:44 PM
The media has latched on to this theme and is clinging to it like a bug-eyed Grand Theft Auto addict: using video games to educate the younger generation. Yesterday, it was about teaching kids how to combat world hunger and avoid the perils of the internet. Today, it's about li teracy and cultural sensitivity. First, a teacher in the U.K. has thought of creative use of an existing game -- the Myst series. He takes his young students through a round of Myst play, encouraging them to pretend they're actually inside the scenes and then write down their observations. The second example involves a new game sponsored by the U.S. Army that walks soldiers through everyday situations in Iraq, schooling them on the appropriate ways to interact with locals. Both stories demonstrate the educational potential of hip-looking games. Adults are increasingly catching on to the medium's power to keep the attention of younger people. It also raises a corollary lesson: If the game is going to work in the classroom, it should be innovative and interesting, rather than contrived and pandering.
