Npower puts gas and electricity prices up inflation-busting 5%

Npower puts gas and electricity prices up inflation-busting 5% ENERGY giant Npower yesterday announced an inflation-busting price hike – leaving customers facing a £62 New Year headache.Gas and electricity prices will rise by 5% for existing consumers from January 4, while new clients are hit straight away.

The move, affecting 6.3 million users, will see an average dual-fuel bill leap from £1,196 to £1,258 a year.

Npower is the fourth big supplier to announce a winter bill increase, with the German-owned firm insisting it was forced to pass on higher costs, including a 50% jump in wholesale costs.

Yet its profits hit £220million last year and the Mirror revealed yesterday that energy firms are cashing in on the big freeze with gas demand soaring 25%. Industry regulator Ofgem is launching an investigation into rip-off claims as suppliers’ profits have soared 40% since autumn.

Audrey Gallacher, of watchdog Consumer Focus, said: “Customers will have been bracing themselves for this bad news but that won’t make them any less worried about affording their bills.”

3The price of petrol has soared to a record high, the AA said yesterday. The average price is now 121.76p a litre, beating the previous record of 121.61p.

Oncobasidium theobromae Theobroma cacao

Oncobasidium theobromae Theobroma cacao ; Theobroma cacao also cacao tree and cocoa tree, is a small (4–8 m or 15–26 ft tall) evergreen tree in the family Sterculiaceae (alternatively Malvaceae), native to the deep tropical region of the Americas. Its seeds are used to make cocoa powder and chocolate. There are two prominent competing hypotheses about the origins of the domestication of the originally wild Theobroma cacao tree. One is that wild examples were originally distributed from southeastern Mexico to the Amazon basin, with domestication taking place both in the Lacandon area of Mexico and in lowland South America. But recent studies of Theobroma cacao genetics seem to show that the plant originated in the Amazon and was distributed by humans throughout Central America and Mesoamerica.

Berlusconi in focus on Clinton's WikiLeaks tour

Berlusconi in focus on Clinton's WikiLeaks tour ; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has done a lot of explaining to foreign leaders after the embarrassing Wikileaks release of U.S. embassy cables -- but few needed as much placating as Italy's Silvio Berlusconi. Clinton took the opportunity of a meeting at a Kazakhstan summit to personally reassure the Italian prime minister, whose feathers were clearly ruffled by U.S. cables which called him "feckless" and a hard-partyer.

"We have no better friend, we have no one who supports the American policies as consistently as Prime Minister Berlusconi has," Clinton told the news cameras as the two met. "The United States, Republican and Democratic administrations like, know that they can count on the prime minister to support the policies and values that Italy and the United States share in common," Clinton said.

Penjelasan buat cheat yang tidak work :

Gini gan... coba tunggu sampe file otomatis ter injeksi, nnti bakal ada 2 notifikasi... kalo cuma 1 notif berarti file yg 1 nya gak bisa di pake di kompie agan ato mungkin belum terinjeksi, soalnya saya menggunakan 2 file untuk di injeksi yg saya buat dengan 2 program berbeda untuk walshoot, bom sama alt tab saya menggunakan dev-c++ sedangkan untuk misi mayor, dan mision card hack saya menggunakan MS VC++ 2008...

untuk yg menggunakan devc++ saya yakin work semua komputer karena itu murni bahasa C tanpa campurtangan dari pihak microsoft... sedangkan C++ 2008 belum tentu semua komputer work... pada komputer saya work 100% cuma agak ribet buat misi mayor... kalo saya sudah pencet hotkey numpad 1 sampai 0 pasti pencet F12 gak akan bisa... soalnya codingnya agak salah....

tapi kalo saat masuk pertama kali lalu di lobby saya pencet F12 itu work, pangkat berubah jadi kolonel emas, dengan point tak terhingga... nah untuk misi card hack, coba kosongkan seluruh isi kartu misi anda jangan sampai ada misi yg lain... trus beli misi, masuk room, trus pencet 1 sampai 0 dengan cara biasanya mision card hack.... saya gak mungkin share jika tidak saya testing dengan rekan2 clan saya terlebih dahulu... jika rekan2 clan saya bilang work baru saya share... rekan saya berbeda derah, berbeda pulau, dan berbeda komputer pula pastinya

British fashion is worth £21 billion

British fashion is worth £21 billion ; The media can sometimes be the fashion industry's worst enemy. In the past week, as New York's leading designers unveiled their collections at locations all over Manhattan, newspapers and broadcasters in Britain reported on Lady Gaga wearing an outfit made entirely of meat (though, mercifully, she wore it at the MTV Video Music Awards and not on the front row of a fashion show), Victoria Beckham's numerous costume changes and, shock, New York's first outsize fashion show.

It's rarely the many beautiful, commercial clothes that make it on to the front pages - and understandably so. The theatre, brouhaha and glittering celebrity of the fashion world often eclipses what's really going on away from the media glare. But it also means a lot of people do not take fashion very seriously at all.

For the average person on the street, the fashion business can look like a ludicrous world populated by celebrities, eccentrics and an endless stream of fashion "characters" in high heels and wacky hats. It's a presumption that London Fashion Week - which begins today - often suffers from, especially as it's at the epicentre of fashion creativity.

But behind the air-kissing and paparazzi flashing there is a very serious business, as any store owner, editor or designer knows all too well. And at last there is evidence of the fact.

Yesterday Ed Vaizey, the Culture Minister, and Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, helped launch the "Value of Fashion" report at the House of Commons - a detailed survey of the UK's fashion industry that was commissioned by the British Fashion Council (BFC) and put together by Oxford Economics, a well-respected and long-established provider of economic analysis.

The study concludes that the fashion industry is now worth £21 billion a year to the UK economy, and as much as £37 billion when its wider contribution is taken into account, including tourism and related businesses.

The report also found that the fashion business, which is the 15th largest industry in the UK, directly employs 816,000 people, making it the second biggest employer.

It's the first time that a report has provided a comprehensive overview of the fashion industry, and it was put together by analysing the industry's profits and employment across all sectors, from the wholesale, retail and manufacturing of womenswear, menswear and accessories, across designer brands and right down to the high street - from Pringle to Primark - and including related businesses such as fashion education, marketing and media.

The BFC's chairman, Harold Tillman, who has even more of a vested interest in the success of British fashion as he is also chairman of Jaeger and Aquascutum, hopes that the report will give the Government the impetus to invest more in the fashion business: "Fashion is a great British success story and this landmark piece of research underlines its true scope and economic impact. This is just the first step to creating a detailed national action plan for the industry which will help to support its future growth and success."

The report makes recommendations for the future - from providing students with better business training at college to giving them support once their businesses are up and running.

Of course it's easy to pinpoint flaws in the very rosy figures. Many of the high street giants whose vast profits are included in this report base their manufacturing overseas, in China. Many designer brands are also forced to produce abroad, in Italy or France, as the manufacturing base in the UK has declined.

None the less, fashion is important. The designers who will show their collections during London Fashion Week over the next few days will take orders totalling £100 million.

Although that is an impressive figure, it is dwarfed by the sales of global fashion labels in other capitals. However, as Ed Vaizey was quick to point out this week, the country also basks in reflected glory from our talented young designers: "British fashion has the talent, creativity and skills to rival anywhere in the world. Our new and established designers are internationally renowned for their unique vision."

They are also the reason that our fashion colleges are the envy of the world and why major fashion houses from New York, Milan and Paris will all come to London colleges when they are looking for fresh talent for their teams. All of which adds to our "fashion economy".

When the BFC's report points to the tourism that is generated by our fashion business, it is not only referring to the vibrant and creative designer scene - our high-street style is also the envy of women across the globe. Topshop and the like convert designer trends into high-street clothes at record speed - something that other countries' chain-stores may have mimicked but in which British brands still lead the way.

It's why foreign buyers and editors always make a beeline for our high- street stores when they make their bi-annual trips to Fashion Week. The diversity of our high-street fashion is one of its strongest selling points. There is a wealth of choice and the on-trend, well-made clothes are incredibly cheap - which can be a good or a bad thing, depending on your ethics.

There are few young designers on the fashion week calendar who don't have a lucrative deal on the high street that fuels their own business, whether it's Henry Holland at Debenhams, Roksanda Ilincic at Whistles, Giles Deacon at New Look… the list goes on and on.

John Lewis, which reported soaring half-year profits yesterday, has recently launched a £10 million new fashion floor at its Oxford Circus flagship and also unveiled a series of collaborations with British designers including William Tempest, Philip Treacy and shoemaker Terry de Havilland. And, as anyone who shops on the high street knows, such collaborations are increasingly spilling over into everything from interiors to beauty - there are few areas that are not touched in some way by the fashion business.

While the BFC is, quite rightly, making a plea for the Government to support the fashion industry, there are signs that in London, at least, it is flourishing despite some very challenging conditions. Burberry, one of British fashion's great success stories, has moved its shows back to London (it was formerly based in Milan for Fashion Week). After the label's show next Tuesday, customers will be able to order clothes that will be delivered just seven weeks later (rather than the standard six months), many of which are British-made. It's a marker of just how voracious the appetite still is for expensive designer clothes and accessories.

Tom Ford, who staged the most talked about, if least seen, show in New York this week is opening his design studio in London after a five-year absence from womenswear in which he has built his menswear brands and made movies.

And on Monday morning we will have a stark reminder of how incredible British creativity can be built into a global brand when the late Alexander McQueen is given his final send-off with a memorial service at St Paul's Cathedral. McQueen's incredible artistry may have fed into the notion of fashion as a whimsical business that had little relevance to the man, or rather woman, on the street, but much of London's reputation as a fashion centre rests on his, and his contemporaries', shoulders.

Windows 7 mobile for businesses Review

Windows 7 mobile for businesses Review : Windows 7 mobile for businesses ; Microsoft is betting the farm on its new mobile phone operating system, in a high-stakes attempt to succeed in the world of smartphones. I’ve covered earlier Windows operating systems for phones and found them largely uninspiring. Happily, the new version puts most things right. It launches on six phones in the UK on Thursday 21 October.

At first glance, it seems to have turned its back on the business community that was its chief source of custom. This is a consumer-focused system, full of stylish effects and non-business aspects like social networking apps and video playback. It divides the phone into six hubs and only one of them (called Office) is business-oriented. In fact one, Xbox Live, is dedicated to gaming so is definitely not a productivity tool.

But the more you explore, the better Windows Phone 7 appears, business-wise. There are the small touches, like finding your way to a meeting. Touch the calendar, press the address of the meeting and the phone recognises it and takes you to a map, zooming in so that when you’re at street level it shows you a satellite photo to help you spot the building. Better still, if you’ve been delayed, one touch on the Late button in the calendar creates an SMS or email with text to warn your colleagues you’re not going to be on time. This is neat, though it remains to be seen if it subliminally encourages tardiness.

There is one major flaw, frankly all that holds it back from a fifth star: the Office hub includes versions of Word and Excel, which is great, but there’s no cut and paste facility. Given that it’s best to minimise typing on a phone’s virtual keyboard, the lack of a feature to move a paragraph up a page, say, is annoying. Microsoft promised that an update will fix this, but it won't arrive until next year, so if you plan to work on documents a lot, it may be worth holding back.

Although there are half a dozen phones available at launch, there is much uniformity between them. Microsoft has insisted on specifications including screen resolution, processor speed and other features.

I’d choose one of the three HTC handsets: the Mozart has a great unibody casing and the large-screened HD7 is a worthy successor to HTC’s HD2, reviewed here in the past. Though not perfect, Windows Phone 7 is different and exciting, it looks fresh and is easy to use. And once cut and paste is working it will be a sensational business tool.

cooking with flowers

cooking with flowers ; Smells have the power – more than music or photographs – to take you back to a particular place and time. Sometimes, while walking the children to school or sorting out drawers of clothes, a scent will come to me that reminds me of a time I had completely forgotten. Smells can take you by surprise and leave you marvelling at how the human brain stores the details of our lives. Of course, smell is crucial in the kitchen and provides one of the main pleasures of food. Strong coffee, warm brioche, a pot of chicken stock, all these will make me feel happy even if I am not going to eat them. I got hooked on flowers and food early on.

At a school bring-and-buy sale my mum got me a raffle ticket to win a cake. The cake was pure fairytale stuff for a six-year-old – tiered, covered in ivory icing and scattered with deep-red rose petals and little buds. It smelt of heaven, and the only way I could get enough of that scent, I thought, was to eat it. We didn't win the raffle but the gift my mum bought me to ease the disappointment was also floral. It was a bottle of African violets – my first perfume – in a little china capsule. If the colour purple has a smell, I thought, then this is it. I could almost have drunk it.

For many people floral scents are old-fashioned, cloying, suitable for perfuming granny's clothes but not assertive enough for anyone else. Not me. I have always thought the subtlety of flowers rendered them mysterious, foreign and desirable. Few things have tantalised and seduced like scents. The Romans scattered rose petals on their floors, Cleopatra anointed her hands with oil of roses, Roman gladiators rubbed oil of flowers into their skin before combat and Napoleon used to spend time before a campaign deciding which pair of scented gloves he would wear. Making love to Antony while smelling of roses? The lavender-scented loins of burly men? I would say that makes floral scents pretty sexy.

The trend for wild food and growing our own, along with a growing love of Middle Eastern food, has brought cooking with flowers into vogue. In an age when the most exotic spices have been made familiar the smell of blossoms in our pans still has the power to transport. Food is always more than something to sate hunger. It is also about pleasure. Adding a whiff of rose or orange-blossom water to a syrup to drench a cake or dusting lavender sugar over a plate of meringues makes you into a perfumer as well as a cook – a conjuror of the senses.

Sepasang Guru Tertangkap Selingkuh

Zona Berita - Sepasang Guru Tertangkap Selingkuh
BOGOR - Guru seharusnya menjadi panutan muridnya, namun guru kali ini malah memberikan contoh yang tidak terpuji. Pasalnya dua guru, yakni Wuri, guru SMA 9 Kota Bogor, dan Jumari, guru Primagama, digerebeg warga saat melakukan perselingkuhan di sebuah rumah.

Saat digerebek di Perum Bukit Cimanggu City Blok X 4, No 17 RT 10/14, Kelurahan Cibadak Kecamatan Tanah Sareal Kota Bogor, Jawa Barat pukul 09.00 Sabtu (7/8/2010) pagi, kedua insan manusia ini sedang asyik berduaan.

Penggerebekan berawal kecurigaan warga terhadap Wuri, pemilik rumah yang sering bergonta ganti, pria. Kecurigaan warga semakin jadi saat mengetahui Wuri tengah berada di rumah dengan seorang pria.

Tak menunggu lama, mereka pun digerebek dan diinterogasi oleh warga sekitar. Mendapat penjelasan keduanya bukan suami istri, warga menggelandangnya ke Polsek Tanah Sareal.

Ketua RT 10, Imran menuturkan, sejak rumah di Blok X 4 dibeli Wuri Sarani Andiyono (38) dua tahun lalu, dia selalu melihat gonta-ganti laki-laki.

Menurut Imran, semula dirinya diperkenalkan Wuri seorang pria yang mengaku suaminya. Namun berselang dua minggu, ada lagi laki-laki lain.

Kapolsek Tanah Sareal AKP Indrat Riyani, membenarkan kejadian tersebut. Namun kasus tersebut tidak dilanjutkan, karena masing-masing pihak, memilih jalan damai.

“Pak Teguh, suami Ibu Wuri, lebih mementingkan masa depan anaknya. Begitu juga istri Pak Jumari. Soalnya antara Pak Jumari dan Ibu Wuri masih hidup berdekatan di Bantarjati,” tandas Imran.

FPI Jadi Trending Topic di Twitter

FPI Jadi Trending Topic di Twitter
Zona Berita - Kasus dugaan penyerangan terhadap jemaat HKBP di Bekasi, telah disangkutpautkan dengan keterlibatan Front Pembela Islam (FPI). Karena itu, FPI pun menjadi perbicangan ramai di jagad maya.

Di situs mikroblogging Twitter, organisasi pimpinan Habib Rizieq itu menjadi obrolah panas para tweeps. Bahkan, FPI menjadi trending topic nomor 3.

Pantauan detikcom, Minggu (8/8/2010), pada pukul 15.00 WIB, posisi itu belum berubah. FPI berada di bawah Anderson Silva serta film anyar "Avatar, The Last Arbender".

FPI menjadi trending topic tentu terkait dengan kisruh yang dialami jemaat HKBP Bekasi. Padahal, Kapolres Metro Bekasi Kombes Pol Imam Sugiyanto, mengatakan kisruh itu melibatkan Forum Umat Islam (FUI). Kisruh itu dipicu oleh permasalahan lahan kosong yang akan dipakai untuk ibadah para jemaat.

Meskipun Kapolres Bekasi sudah mengatakan bahwa yang terlibat adalah FUI dan bukan FPI, namun tetap saja FPI menjadi sasaran kecaman di Twitter. Misalnya saja pemilik akun @RenPrats.

"Hey jangan lah kau mengatas namakan agama dgn apa yg kau bela, berkaca lah apa kalian sudah memahami dr arti beragama, FPI? Kalian MERUSAK!" kata dia.

Namun, ada pula Tweeps yang menasehati pemilik akun lainnya untuk sedikit menahan diri. Seperti @MasDanish yang menulis "Dearest sahabat2 NonMuslim ku yg Terhomat & Tersayang, Percayalah. Tindakan FPI tdk mewakili ISLAM. PERCAYALAH!"

Atau seperti apa yang diungkapkan @mrndNavy berikut ini: "Daripada ngomongin FPI, mending omongin persiapan puasa yang tinggal 2 hari lagi, yega?"

AVI+Clamav: Tangkal Puluhan Ribu Serangan

Zona Berita - Salah satu kelebihan AVI adalah pada keberadaan pengaya (plugin). Berkat fasilitas ini, kemampuan AVI dapat ditingkatkan dengan mudah. Salah satu pengaya terbaru yang dimiliki AVI adalah Clamsav. Ini adalah pengaya yang mengintegrasikan database Clamav ke dalam database AVI. Dengan begitu, AVI kini dapat menangkal puluhan ribu jenis serangan, baik lokal maupun internasional. Salah satu yang membuat sebuah antivirus hebat dalam mendeteksi virus-virus komputer adalah jumlah definisi ancaman yang dimilikinya. Semakin banyak definisi, semakin baik antivirus tersebut dalam menghadang berbagai macam ancaman yang mencoba masuk ke dalam komputer.

AVI merupakan salah satu antivirus lokal yang memiliki jumlah definisi ancaman yang terbatas. Selama ini, database AVI lebih banyak berisi virus-virus lokal. Keterbatasan ini disebabkan karena jumlah virus baru yang dilaporkan pengguna AVI hanya berkisar dari Indonesia saja. Inilah mengapa banyak orang menganggap antivirus lokal hanya ampuh untuk mengatasi virus lokal saja.
