Größte Proteste seit 20 Jahren – Bürgerkriegsähnliche Szenen vor WM in Rio de Janeiro

Landesweit gehen in Brasilien Hunderttausende auf die Straße. Was als Protest gegen höhere Preise für Bustickets begann, richtet sich nun auch gegen die Fußball-WM im kommenden Jahr. In Rio de Janeiro versuchten radikale Demonstranten, das Regionalparlament anzuzünden.

In Brasilien sind am Montag bei den größten Protestaktionen seit 20 Jahren rund 200 ;000 Menschen gegen Misswirtschaft und Korruption auf die Straße gegangen. Proteste gab es in vielen Städten. In der Hauptstadt Brasiliagelang es Demonstranten, Teile des Dachs des Nationalkongresses zu besetzten. In Sao Paulo blockierten Demonstranten eine Brücke.

Allein in Rio de Janeiro demonstrierten schätzungsweise 100 ;000 Menschen zunächst friedlich. Vor dem Regionalparlament spielten sich jedoch bürgerkriegsähnliche Szenen ab, als Vermummte versuchten, das Gebäude in Brand zu setzen. Hunderte Randalierer attackierten warfen Steine auf das Gebäude, rissen Absperrungen um und zündeten Feuer auf der Straße an. Ein Auto ging in Flammen auf. Molotow-Cocktails flogen.

Nach Medienangaben wurden mehrere Polizisten verletzt. Im Inneren des Parlaments verbarrikadierten sich Beamte. Parlamentspräsident Paulo Mello sprach von einem „Akt des Terrorismus“. Einige der Angreifer zündeten Feuer direkt am Gebäude an. In der Umgebung des Parlamentes wurden die Scheiben mehrerer Banken eingeworfen.

Trängengas und Gummigeschosse

Auch in Porto Alegre gingen 10 ;000 Menschen auf die Straße. Dort wurde ein Bus angezündet. Die Polizei setzte Tränengas und Gummigeschosse ein. In Sao Paulo nahmen über 60 ;000 Menschen an einem Marsch teil. Proteste wurden auch aus Salvador, Belém, Recife, Fortaleza und Belo Horizonte gemeldet. In den US-Städten Los Angeles, New York, Chicago und Boston organisierten Hunderte Brasilianer Aktionen, um sich zu solidarisieren.

Auslöser: Preise für Bustickets

Auslöser der massiven Protestwelle war eine Erhöhung der Fahrpreise für Busse Anfang des Monats. Inzwischen richten sich die Proteste aber auch gegen die Milliarden-Ausgaben für die Fußball-WM 2014 und die Olympischen Spiele 2016. „Schluss mit der Korruption“ und „Für ein besseres Brasilien“ stand am Montag auf Plakaten. Auch Forderungen nach mehr Geld für Schulen, Universitäten und Hospitäler wurden erhoben.

Staatschefin Dilma Rousseff betonte in einer ersten Reaktion, dass „friedliche Demonstrationen“ legitim seien und auch zur Demokratie gehörten.

Songbird Sings Its Last Tune As Music Service Runs Out Of Money And Plans To Shut Down June 28

Songbird, an early digital music service that aimed to compete against the iTunes, Pandoras and Spotifies of this world with an open source platform, is shutting down on June 28, after running out of money and failing to find a buyer. The startup, backed by Sequoia, Atlas Venture and Phillips, had raised at least $11 million and is planning to formally announce the news on its own site later today. “Unfortunately, the company has found ourselves unable to fund further business operations and as of June 28, 2013 all of Songbird’s operations and associated services will be discontinued,” CEO Eric Wittman wrote in an email to TechCrunch. A post in Digital Trends on the closure notes that a sale of the company had fallen through at the last minute. Songbird is the flagship product launched back in 2007 by Pioneers of the Inevitable, first as a desktop open source alternative to iTunes, and more recently as an online, Android and iPhone app that also offers ways to stream music, incorporating different audio formats and making an especially strong emphasis on higher-quality audio FLAC files, and offering YouTube-powered access to playlists

RunKeeper 3.5 for iOS hits the streets, makes it easier to brag about how fit you are

Runners 520x245 RunKeeper 3.5 for iOS hits the streets, makes it easier to brag about how fit you are

The fitness tracking app RunKeeper has been updated to include new features that allow you to keep track of your own and your friends’ progress in the form of a Social Feed and a new Ranking option to see how well aspects of your run stack up against previous outings.

The Boston-based company, which first launched the app in 2008, announced the update in a blog post on Tuesday.

“From the beginning, the RunKeeper community has been a close-knit one where friends (both old and new) provide motivation to help each other reach their fitness goals.  You can see progress, chime in with praise or encouragement, and get pumped up by seeing all of the fun activities, milestones, and races of your RunKeeper friends.  But until recently, none of this social functionality was on your phone,” the company said.

In order to fully take the experience mobile, RunKeeper’s new social feed will now allow all of that functionality in a bid to keep you pounding away the miles on the pavement.

As well as tracking the normal sorts of things you can do on your phone, such as the number of miles run in a particular session and the time of day, it also calls out things like differences in elevation compared to ‘normal’ runs directly in the social feed as a graphic (as shown in the picture above) and allows users to post pictures and brag about their new personal bests before they even make it home.

In addition to the new social feed feature, RunKeeper has also introduced a Ranking feature that it promises will provide all-important context about “your personal fitness journey”.

Restricted to RunKeeper Elite users, the Ranking feature will show exactly how a particular workout compares to a previous run of a similar distance and how your overall speed is trending as you progress.

Non-Elite RunKeeper members do still get access to the Ranking feature but will only see how close (or far!) a run is from a personal record.

Already this year, RunKeeper announced support for six new languages including French, Spanish and Japanese, and later followed this by adding support for integration with the Pebble smart watch.

BuzzTable Forks Over Even More Restaurant Customer Data With New Control Center

BuzzTable seems to be progressing in its noble quest to make getting seated at a restaurant as quick and painless as possible. With its newly launched ControlCenter, BuzzTable’s guest communication platform now comprises three parts: WaitList+ for hosts, the BuzzTable app for guests, and ControlCenter, a web app that delivers to operators information gathered by the first two. That includes wait-time analytics, customer demographics, loyalty reward redemptions, guest feedback, and the ability to export customer data like email addresses. In short: a whole lot of information that can help restaurants figure out what’s selling, to whom, and what they can do better, straight from customers’ mouths in real time. This kind of constant feedback could have huge implications for the management of both single storefront eateries and national chains

Facebook To Simplify Ad-Buying Process By Eliminating Half Of Its 27 Ad Units

Facebook is wrapping up a press session at its Menlo Park headquarters where it talked about the progress that it’s making with advertisers and announced it will be eliminating and consolidating a number of ad units. The big vision, according to Product Manager Fidji Simo, is to simplify the general process of running ads on Facebook. She said that when Facebook looked at its 27 different ad products, it found that “every single product is really good on its own,” but “the whole is less than the sum of its parts.” Ultimately, she said that advertisers should just tell Facebook “who you are, what your message is, and what your objective is,” then they should be able to run the kind of campaign that works for them without any “guesswork.” Somewhat confusingly, given that vision, it sounds like Facebook actually isn’t announcing changes to the ad-buying workflow. When one of the reporters asked about this, Facebook’s Andrew Bosworth said that the bidding process isn’t changing at all. Simo said the announced changes fall into three different categories — streamlining the number of ad formats, “really bringing the best of Sponsored Stories to all ads,” and increasing the consistency in how ads are displayed.

Taking a ‘Breather’: How start-up plans to unlock city space

By Irene Chapple, CNN

June 6, 2013 — Updated 1304 GMT (2104 HKT)

Julien Smith says rooms like that pictured above will be available for around $20 an hour with his Breather app

Julien Smith says rooms like that pictured above will be available for around $20 an hour with his Breather app

(CNN)Julien Smith, writer, speaker and now start-up chief executive, says he’s good at “predicting and following trends.” And now he’s getting into another: Distributed space.

Smith, co-author of books including Trust Agents, which explores how to use the web as a tool of influence and reached The New York Times bestseller list, revealed Breather at Le Web in London.

Le Web’s theme is the “sharing economy,” with Airbnb given top billing. Breather works with the same idea — utilizing space that would otherwise be empty — but for a city pit-stop at a cost per hour.

Le Web: The Google glasses view of sharing economy?

Smith says he is “obsessed” with private space where one can take time out, without obligations, at any time.

“I notice sound, and space, a lot,” he says. And in the rush of big cities such as New York or London, finding a time-out zone can be difficult.

Starbucks is the closest existing outlet for an on-the-run office, but around each coffee store are likely empty commercial spaces, Smith says. He plans to unlock them.

The idea is “obvious,” Smith says. “In 2050 we’re not going to be walking around thinking ‘where can we go’,” he says.

Smith is connecting the owners of real estate in New York, London, and San Francisco to open “millions of square feet” of real estate that can be used for around $20 an hour. Space can be reserved from an hour to the entire day.

It will be done through an app for which Smith has partnered with Lockitron, which featured at Le Web in Paris last December. The Lockitron locks will be installed at the Breather spaces, allowing users access at a time that suits them.

Those who use the app will be screened and assessed after use, meaning anyone who breaches standards will be banned from using Breather again.

Breather has the credit card details and phone details of those using the app which Smith says will ensure security for the “private club…we can ban anyone at will,” he said.

The app will be available to a limited number of people in 60 days, with a fuller roll out in October.

Poster from the campaign for the International Day of Prostitutes features the phrase “I am happy being a prostitute.”

(CNN) — Following widespread criticism, Brazil’s health ministry has scrapped an online campaign called “I’m happy being a prostitute.”

Prostitution is legal in Brazil and is expected to spike as the nation gears up for the FIFA World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016.

The campaign aimed to promote safe sex and reduce the stigma against sex workers.

Other posters in the campaign carried slogans such as “I cannot be seen without a condom, my love.”

But Tuesday, Health Minister Alexandre Padilha dropped the campaign, telling reporters he didn’t think it was a message his office should be sending.

“The role of the ministry is to have specific content to encourage prevention among sex workers, who are a very vulnerable group,” he said.

As the nation prepares for the sports world stage, sex workers are getting ready as well.

In the city of Belo Horizonte, prostitutes are lining up for free English classes to enable them to communicate with clients.

Tsarnaev parents: Our kids didn’t do it


Parents of Boston bombing suspect share phone call with son

By CNN Staff

June 4, 2013 — Updated 2347 GMT (0747 HKT)

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s parents play parts of a phone call with him on ITN’s Channel 4
  • The parents insist their sons, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, are innocent
  • Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a police shootout and was run over by his brother

(CNN) — Inside their dark, barren home in Dagestan, Zubeidat and Anzor Tsarnaev finally hear the voice they’ve been longing to hear for weeks.

It’s the voice of their only surviving son, Dzhokhar. To the outside world, he’s suspected of helping to launch a gruesome attack at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and maimed dozens more.

But to the Tsarnaevs, Dzhokhar is an innocent teen who has been victimized by the American justice system.

In an exclusive interview with CNN affiliate ITN, Zubeidat Tsarnaev plays a recorded phone call with her 19-year-old son. It’s their first conversation since Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was shot and arrested in April.

Zubeidat Tsarnaev asks her son whether he’s in pain.

“No, of course not. I’m already eating and have been for a long time,” Dzhokhar responds in the call from a prison hospital recorded last week. “They are giving me rice and chicken now. Everything’s fine.”

Dzhokhar’s apparent calm surprises his mother.

“I felt like he would scream, you know, like, ‘What’s going on?’” Zubeidat Tsarnaev tells ITN’s Channel 4. “Instead, he was just calming me down.”

The parents insist their sons, Dzhokhar and 26-year-old Tamerlan, weren’t responsible for the Boston bombings on April 15.

“It is terrible what happened, you know, but I know that my kids did not do it,” Zubeidat Tsarnaev says.

After a wild police chase, Tamerlan Tsarnaev died in a shootout with police. He was also run over by his fleeing brother.

The family says Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was supposed to visit Dagestan the same week as the bombing.

“We were waiting for you on the 18th at home,” Anzor Tsarnaev tells his son in the phone call. “Not in our worst nightmares did we imagine this.”

The father says he doesn’t think his son understands what has happened to him.

“I understand. I’m just someone in shock because justice has vanished,” Anzor Tsarnaev says. “There is no justice. It’s impossible to understand what happened.”

Anzor Tsarnaev tells his son they will meet again in heaven.

“We’re going to be together,” he says.

With $12M Burning A Hole In Its Pocket, London’s YPlan Wants New York To Be More Socially Spontaneous

Yplan, the London-based startup that’s building a platform for selling last-minute event-booking on mobile, has closed a $12 million (£7.9 million) Series A, led by General Catalyst Partners. Existing investors Wellington Partners and Octopus Investments also participated in the round, along with a swathe of co-investors, including A-Grade, Kevin Colleran and David Morin’s SLOW Ventures Fund, and Shakil Khan, investor and advisor to Spotify and Summly. YPlan has previously raised $1.7 million (£1.06 million) in seed funding, bringing its total funding to date to $13.7 million. The startup plans to use its new funding to fuel international expansion — with the second city (after London, where it launched in November last year) in its sights being New York. It plans to launch there during the second half of this year, and will then use New York as its North American base, as it looks to expand to other U.S.

Alzheimer hinterlässt Hinweise im Blut

Zaragoza, Spanien (ots/PRNewswire) – Alzheimer-Forscher in Spanien sind einen Schritt weiter, um einen Bluttest zu finden, der bei der Diagnose der Alzheimer-Krankheit hilft.

Ca. 75 % der geschtzten 36 Mio. Alzheimer-Patienten weltweit haben noch keine verlssliche Diagnose erhalten, und die mglichen Auswirkungen auf das Leben der potenziellen Patienten jetzt und in der Zukunft knnten riesig sein.

Alzheimer ist eine neurodegenerative Krankheit, die hufig ltere Menschen betrifft. Die blichsten Symptome sind ein progressiver Gedchtnisverlust bis zu der Phase, in der der Patient vollstndig auf Pflegepersonal fr die tglichen Lebensbedrfnisse angewiesen ist. Zahlreiche Forschungsarbeiten untersttzen die Theorie, dass eine Gruppe von Peptiden, die so genannten Beta Amyloid (Abeta), die natrlich im Krper vorkommen, einen grossen Einfluss auf die Alzheimer-Krankheit haben. Durch einen Prozess, der von der Wissenschaft bisher noch nicht erklrt werden konnte, kommt es zu einer Ansammlung von Peptiden im Gehirn, die ber einen Zeitraum von Jahren Gedchtnisprobleme und andere Symptome verursachen, die mit der Krankheit in Verbindung gebracht werden.

Professor Manuel Sarasa, CSO und Grnder des spanischen Forschungsunternehmens Araclon Biotech, und sein Team haben daran gearbeitet, die Bluttests “ABtest40″ und “ABtest42″ zu perfektionieren, um die kleinsten Mengen dieser Peptide im Blut zu messen.

“Die Studie hat gezeigt, dass unser Test fr Abeta im Blut einen grossen Zusammenhang zwischen den Peptidmengen und der Krankheit im Vergleich zu gesunden Menschen und Menschen mit geringer Beeintrchtigung der kognitiven Fhigkeiten aufweisen” ((MCI – Mild Cognitive Impairment) ist die frhste, erkennbare Phase des Gedchtnisverlusts.)

“Durch die Messung von drei verschiedenen Werten der wichtigsten Peptide Abeta40 und Abeta42 im Blut – frei im Plasma, gebunden an Plasmaelemente und gebunden an Blutzellen – und den Vergleich dieser Werte mit etablierten Diagnosemethoden knnen wir konsistent eine Beziehung zwischen den Abeta-Werten und der Krankheit erkennen”, sagte er.

“Dies bedeutet, dass wir, und mit “wir” meinen wir Alzheimer-Forscher im Allgemeinen einem verlsslichen, minimal invasiven Biomarker fr Alzheimer viel nher gekommen sind”, sagt Professor Sarasa. “Die Bedeutung dessen ist, dass Studien frher beginnen knnen und weniger kosten. Eingreifende Therapien knnen in frheren Stadien der Krankheit getestet werden, und sobald eine effektive Therapie gefunden wurde, wird dieser Test gut fr Reihenuntersuchungen der Bevlkerung im Gesundheitssektor geeignet sein.”

Im Juli werden die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit im Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease 36(3) verffentlicht.

Professor Sarasa merkte an, dass bereits eine grssere, multinationale Studie mit 255 Patienten im Gange sei und dass seine in Zaragoza ansssige Firma, ein Mitglied der Grifols Unternehmensgruppe, auch versucht, diese Ergebnisse durch andere, hnliche Patientengruppen weltweit zu besttigen.

BER ARACLON BIOTECH SL Araclon, ein Unternehmen der Grifols Unternehmensgruppe, (http://www.araclon.com ) wurde 2004 von Prof. Manuel Sarasa in Zaragoza, Spanien, gegrndet. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein Unternehmen, das sich auf die Frherkennung und Behandlung von Alzheimer spezialisiert.

Das Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease (http://www.j-alz.com) ist eine internationale, multidisziplinre Fachzeitschrift, die neue Erkenntnisse ber die Lehre der Ursachen von Krankheiten, der Krankheitsentwicklung, der Genetik, des Verhaltens, der Behandlung und der Psychologie der Alzheimer-Krankheit untersttzt.
