Vandalized Hollywood sign briefly reads 'HOLLYWeeD'

0

NewsHubNo, Los Angeles residents, it wasn’t your hangovers playing tricks on you. The Hollywood sign really did read « HOLLYWeeD » for a few hours on New Year’s Day.
Police were investigating Sunday after a prankster used giant tarps to turn two of the iconic sign’s white Os into Es sometime overnight.
The vandal, dressed in all black, was recorded by security cameras and could face a misdemeanor trespassing charge, said Sgt. Robert Payan.
The person scaled a protective fence surrounding the sign above Griffith Park and then clambered up each giant letter to drape the coverings, Payan said.
The prank may be a nod to California voters’ approval in November of Proposition 64, which legalized the recreational use of marijuana, beginning in 2018.
Hikers and tourists in the hills spent the morning snapping photos of themselves in front of the altered sign before park rangers began removing the tarps.
« It’s kind of cool being here at the moment, » Bruce Quinn told KABC-TV. « I thought we came to see the Hollywood sign, not the’ Hollyweed’ sign. But hey it’s OK with me!  »
While attention-grabbing, the prank was not exactly original. Forty-one years ago to the day — Jan. 1, 1976 — a college student similarly altered the sign, using curtains to make it read « HOLLYWEED. «

Russian diplomats expelled by Obama over hacking leave US

0

NewsHubThirty-five Russian diplomats expelled from the United States by President Barack Obama have left the country, Russian news agencies report.
An embassy official said the plane had taken off with all the affected personnel and their families aboard.
Mr Obama ordered the expulsion in response to alleged hacking of the US Democratic Party and Clinton campaign during the 2016 presidential election.
President-elect Trump has promised a revelation about the allegations.
A spokesperson for the Russian embassy in the US, quoted by the TASS news agency, confirmed the departure of the plane from Washington on New Year’s Day.
The aircraft was part of the Rossiya airline’s special flight detachment group – the carrier for the president of Russia and other government officials.
Mr Obama’s order had given the affected diplomats just 72 hours to leave the country.
Russian president Vladimir Putin had been expected to respond in kind, with the expulsion of US diplomats from its territory.
However, he later said he would not « stoop » to « irresponsible diplomacy » , but rather attempt to repair relations once Donald Trump takes office.
Mr Trump praised the decision as « very smart ».
He has previously said Americans « ought to get on with our lives » rather than sanction Russia.
But on New Year’s Eve, he said he would reveal details « people don’t know » about the incident in the coming days.
« I know a lot about hacking, » he told reporters, « and hacking is a very hard thing to prove, so it could be somebody else.  »
He also said that he knows « things that other people don’t know. And so they cannot be sure of the situation.  »
But he refused to provide details, saying he would make an announcement on « Tuesday or Wednesday ».
The president-elect also suggested that computers could not be trusted with sensitive information, and recommended using pen and paper.
« You know, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way, » he said.
« Because I’ll tell you what – no computer is safe. «

Shooter kills 11, himself in Brazil New Year's party rampage

0

NewsHubPolice in the state of São Paulo said the shooter, identified as 46-year-old Sidnei Ramis de Araújo, is believed to have been angry over a split with his wife, Isamara Filier, 41, and their son João Victor.
Three other people remain hospitalized, police said, while four people survived the attack unharmed, including one party attendee who managed to flee to a bathroom and phone the police when the shooting began.
Survivors, according to a police spokesman, said that just before midnight, the shooter jumped over a fence surrounding the house, burst through a door and began firing even as he berated Filier for taking their son.
Araújo possibly sought to take advantage of the commotion of New Year’s Eve to disguise the shooting, police said.
One neighbor told local television that he and his family heard shots, but had thought they might be fireworks until one of the wounded ran to their property, bleeding and pleading for help.
Despite high rates of crime and violence in Brazil, including significant problems with assaults against women, the attack alarmed Latin America’s biggest country on a holiday associated with family gatherings.
Gun deaths are common in heists, holdups and in confrontations among police, drug gangs and other criminals in Brazil, but targeted mass shootings are rare.
Police said Araújo, reported by local media to be a laboratory technician, used a 9 mm pistol and carried two additional clips, extra ammunition, a knife and unspecified but unused explosives.
Investigators are analyzing the explosives in addition to a cell phone and audio recorder found in a car he parked outside the home to determine whether Araújo left any sort of message about his attack.
Police said they did not yet know if Araújo had a history of violence, or whether he had been known to physically harm or threaten his former wife before the attack.
Campinas, an industrial and university city of over 1 million residents, is located about 100 kilometers (60 miles) northwest of the city of São Paulo, Brazil’s biggest metropolis.

Köln: Polizeiaufgebot an Silvester zeigt Wirkung

0

NewsHubIn der Silvesternacht hat ein Großaufgebot der Polizei in Köln möglicherweise eine Wiederholung der massiven Übergriffe auf Frauen sowie Diebstähle wie im Vorjahr verhindert. Die Beamten hätten rund 650 Nordafrikaner schon bei der Fahrt in die Kölner Innenstadt an Bahnhöfen gestoppt, sagte Polizeipräsident Jürgen Mathies in Köln.
Mehr zum Thema
Die Männer hatten sich offenbar gezielt verabredet. Wolfgang Wurm, Präsident der für Nordrhein-Westfalen zuständigen Bundespolizeibehörde in Sankt Augustin, sagte gegenüber « Focus Online »: « Aufgrund von Smartphone-Chats haben wir herausgefunden, dass sich Gruppen von fahndungsrelevanten Personen abgesprochen haben, dass sie sich in Köln zu Silvester treffen wollen.  »
Es gehe dabei um Personen, bei denen mit Straftaten zu rechnen war. Als Treffpunkt sei der Hauptbahnhof angegeben worden – um 22.00 Uhr.  »
Bei den überwiegend jungen Männern sei eine « Grundaggressivität » festgestellt worden. Die Personalien seien überprüft und Platzverweise erteilt worden. « Es ging darum, konsequent zu verhindern, dass es noch einmal zu vergleichbaren Handlungen kommt, wie im vergangenen Jahr », sagte Mathies.
Der Polizeipräsident verwahrte sich gegen den Vorwurf des « racial profiling », womit ein gezieltes polizeiliches Vorgehen nach ethnischen Gesichtspunkten bezeichnet wird. Es sei um das Verhalten dieser Männer gegangen, betonte Mathies. « Der ganz überwiegende Teil war so, dass mit drohenden Straftaten zu rechnen war », sagte er. Dies habe die Polizei verhindert. Im übrigen seien genauso auch Deutsche überprüft worden.
Insgesamt habe es in der Silvesternacht rund um die Innenstadt 92 Festnahmen gegeben, davon seien 16 Deutsche gewesen. Die übrigen hätten sich über sehr viele Nationalitäten verteilt.
Bei der Pressekonferenz wehrte sich Mathies gegen die Kritik wegen der Verwendung der Abkürzung « Nafris » für Nordafrikaner. Die Kölner Polizei hatte am Samstagabend getwittert: « Am HBF werden derzeit mehrere Hundert Nafris überprüft.  » Der Polizeipräsident gab zu, nach seiner Einschätzung hätte der Begriff « Nafri » besser nicht nach außen verwendet werden sollen. Eine Häufung an Straftaten von Personen aus dem nordafrikanischen Raum lasse sich aber nicht bestreiten, und dafür müsse dann polizeiintern auch ein Begriff gefunden werden. Mathies betonte, dass die allermeisten in Deutschland lebenden Nordafrikaner natürlich keine Straftäter seien.
Die Geschehnisse der Silvesternacht 2015 sollten sich jedoch auf keinen Fall wiederholen – das hatte die Polizei im Vorfeld fast garantiert. Vor einem Jahr hatten sich rund um den Dom etwa 1000 Männer vorwiegend aus Nordafrika versammelt. Frauen wurden von ihnen umringt und massiv sexuell belästigt oder genötigt. Zudem wurden Menschen massenhaft bestohlen und der Gottesdienst im Dom gezielt gestört.
Das Ausmaß der Zwischenfälle wurde erst Tage später bekannt. Der Polizei wurde Versagen und eine Vertuschung der Zwischenfälle vorgeworfen. Die Kölner Ereignisse hatten eine neue Debatte über die Flüchtlingspolitik in Deutschland und einen Kontrollverlust des Staates ausgelöst.

NewsHubNEW YORK —
Mariah Carey has ushered in 2017 with a botched performance on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest” on ABC.
The singer appeared to have technical difficulties during her live performance Saturday night in Times Square. She even stopped singing her song “Emotions,” paced the stage and told the audience to finish the lyrics for her.
She told the crowd, “I’m trying to be a good sport here.”
Carey headlined the festivities in Times Square, where about a million revelers jammed in to greet 2017.
After the song finished, Carey looked exasperated.
She started saying, “That was,” then she paused and finally finished by saying, “amazing.”

Doctor who labored on after nuclear disaster apparently dies in fire ‹ Japan Today

0

NewsHubFUKUSHIMA —
A doctor who continued to provide medical care to people in an evacuation area after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster is believed to have died in a fire at his home, police said Saturday.
The body of a man was found after a fire on Friday at the wooden house of Hideo Takano, 81, director of Takano Hospital in Hirono, Fukushima Prefecture.
Hirono, located some 20 to 30 kilometers from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, was subject to an evacuation advisory after three reactors melted down in the days after a devastating earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.
Many residents of Hirono heeded the evacuation advisory, but Takano remained and continued to run his hospital because some patients were too ill and frail to be moved. The advisory was lifted by the government in September 2011.
Akihiko Ozaki, 31, a doctor at Minamisoma Municipal General Hospital in the city of Minamisoma, Fukushima Prefecture, said his hospital plans to provide help to Takano Hospital which currently has 102 inpatients.
“Despite his age, Dr. Takano had supported community healthcare all by himself,” said Ozaki, an acquaintance of Takano, who was the only fulltime staff doctor at his hospital.

Fuji Xerox eyes cloud, 3D printer expansion initiatives in China

0

NewsHubFuji Xerox, the biggest supplier of multifunction office printers and document management systems in Asia Pacific, plans to launch its “cloud” business in mainland China’s major cities later this year, as the company starts to sharpen its focus on more sophisticated products and services in the world’s second-largest economy. The Tokyo-based company is also looking to enter the mainland’s fast-growing market for 3D printers, according to Fuji Xerox executive vice-president Masataka Jo, who is also president of the firm’s Greater China operations. “What we are trying to do is create a sustainable business model in China by enhancing our solutions development capability there,” Jo said in an interview. “So our strategy will increasingly focus on the higher end of the market.” In November, Hong Kong became one of the first markets outside of Japan where Fuji Xerox launched its new cloud services package known as “Smart Work Gateway”. Cloud services enable companies to buy, lease or sell software and other digital resources online, just like electricity from a power grid. These operations are hosted and managed in so-called data centres. The Fuji Xerox package combines a new “smart” multifunction device with technical support, apps-based automated document workflow and XpressGateway, an online hub that allows users to upload content to multiple cloud storage services – including Box, Google Drive and Dropbox – and print directly from those sites. “Hong Kong is one of the most profitable markets for Fuji Xerox as more than 50 per cent of its revenue now come from services,” Jo said. He pointed out that introducing Fuji Xerox cloud services on the mainland may require the firm to engage with a local third-party service provider, such as Alibaba Cloud, China Telecom or Neusoft Corp. Alibaba Cloud is a subsidiary of New York-listed Alibaba Group, which owns the. According to a Forrester Research report, the largest public cloud platforms on the mainland as of the fourth quarter of 2016 were Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft. “As a foreign company, we may need a data centre located in China to provide local cloud services,” Jo said. “Hopefully, we can start in the second half of 2017.” He indicated that initial Fuji Xerox cloud operations on the mainland are currently targeted at Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. “The majority of our sophisticated business solutions are in demand at those major cities,” he said. Other cities with rising demand for such solutions are Chengdu, Hangzhou and Chongqing, he added. Fuji Xerox, a joint venture 75 per cent owned by Fujifilm Holdings and 25 per cent by United States-based Xerox Corp, has invested an estimated US$150 million in China since it started doing business in Shanghai in 1987. As Fujifilm’s documents solutions subsidiary, Fuji Xerox contributed 47 per cent of its parent’s ¥2.49 trillion (HK$165.98 billion) revenue in its fiscal year ended March 31. The company’s Greater China operations cover the mainland and Hong Kong, where it has almost 15,000 total staff. Sales in the year to March reached ¥100 billion. Manufacturing operations in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Suzhou provide 80 per cent of all products shipped by Fuji Xerox worldwide. It also has a software development centre in Shanghai, and currently has direct sales and services in more than 30 cities. “China is 26 times bigger than Japan, so we also have to develop an elaborate channel strategy for this market,” Jo said. He said the next challenge for Fuji Xerox would be entering the country’s nascent 3D printer segment, which has fuelled increased design prototyping and printing of customised products. Research firm IDC said the mainland was already the fastest-growing market for 3D printers, with total shipments forecast to reach 440,000 units by 2020 from about 77,000 in 2015. In 2015 the Chinese government identified 3D printing as a major aspect of the country’s “Made in China 2025” industrial transformation plan, according to IDC. However, existing 3D printing data formats have certain limitations, such as being unable to produce objects with a complicated internal structure with multiple materials. That has prompted Fuji Xerox and researchers at Keio University in Japan to jointly formulate a new printing data format that can retain an object’s multiple 3D information, including colours, materials and internal structures. The format’s specification was released online in July. Jo said Fuji Xerox intends to forge strategic partnerships to enter the 3D printer segment, in which US firms control most of the intellectual property. “I don’t think we can do everything ourselves initially,” he said. While its cloud services and 3D printer initiatives are pushed forward, Fuji Xerox expects to further grow its existing printer business on the mainland. In terms of A3 multifunction office printers, the company has been the market leader in China in recent years. “We had an overall market share of 19 per cent in 2015, and expect to record more than 20 per cent share in 2016,” said Jo, citing IDC data and the company’s own estimates. He estimated that more than seven million units of office printers and multifunction devices, large-format production systems, and low-end desktop printers were sold on the mainland in 2015. HP, meanwhile, had an estimated market share of nearly 50 per cent in China’s vast, but highly price-sensitive consumer desktop printer segment. “One of the unique features of the printer industry in China is that there is huge demand in the very low end of the market,” Jo said. “But I don’t think all vendors are making money there.” “In the next five years, we expect other vendors to gradually move away from the very low end of the market,” he added. During the discount-friendly Singles’ Day online shopping festival in China, IDC estimated that HP sold 136,054 consumer desktop printers through Alibaba’s Tmall, JD.com and other online retail sites to account for more than 57 per cent of printer sales on November 11. Fuji Xerox sold 12,508 consumer desktop printers on the same day, behind Canon’s 51,598 units and Epson’s 23,275.
