Deepwater Horizon: Where’s the oil?

tl;dr:  on the bottom of the sea…

“University of Georgia oceanographer, Dr. Samantha Joye, conducted her third, month-long research cruise in the Gulf of Mexico in late November and early December. She continued her pioneering research into the long term impact of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil blowout. On this trip, she discovers a vast amount of oil on the bottom and marine life that definitely show effects of the oil’s pollution.”

“Brave New World” – digital passport in Germany

a Demo of the new German digital passport (“elektronischer Personalausweis ePA”).

Funny thing about this is, that the Bundesdruckerei (“Government Printing Office”) contracted Samsung(!) to produce the digital passports and the readers. If you want to make sure, that only authorized people scan your new passport, you can get one of these “protection covers“.
