Two Fennec Fox sisters were born at Chattanooga Zoo in Tennessee! They have just been named Zahari, meaning blue in Arabic, and Zeiti, meaning green in Arabic. (To tell the sisters apart, they were each given a small spot of food coloring either blue or green on their backs.) They were born on 11 September 2013 to first-time parents, mother Karoo and father Kalahari — via ZooBorns

If you need to encrypt traffic from your computer or mobile device, you have many options. You could buy a commercial VPN solution, or you could sign up for a VPN service and pay a monthly fee. Or for less money, you could create your own VPN and gain the use of a Linux VPS (Virtual Private Server) anywhere in the world. This roll-your-own option is made possible through the use of the open source OpenVPN project, Linux, and a few open source client-side applications. The VPS-based setup described here is designed to encrypt all the traffic from your laptop, desktop, or mobile phone to your VPN server, which then unencrypts that traffic and passes it on to its destination. This can be very useful if you’re using the Internet from a coffee shop, a hotel, or a conference and you do not trust the network — via ITworld

Australia Post franchisees say their businesses are under pressure to survive because of the small sum they are paid to sort and deliver parcels.
The Licensed Post Office Group (LPOs) said there had not been an increase in the sorting rate since 1993.
The franchisees get just 29 cents per parcel.
Group member Angela Cramp said a fall in the number of letters for delivery has been replaced by a big rise in parcel business, because of the popularity on online shopping.
She said the rate of payment was not enough to cover operating expenses.
We are 75 per cent of the Australia Post footprint. We are the best asset that Australia Post has and we are the most undervalued part of their network,
she said.
They cannot hope to service Australia-wide without the LPOs

A man wakes up in a pit of dead bodies with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Fleeing the scene, he breaks into a nearby house and is met at gunpoint by a group of terrified strangers, all suffering from memory loss. Suspicion gives way to violence as the group starts to piece together clues about their identities, but when they uncover a threat that’s more vicious — and hungry — than each other, they are forced to figure out what brought them all together — before it’s too late — via Youtube

Hana was a student before she was a mother. She was bright and pretty, and her future held endless possibilities. Then she met a man, who turned out to be a wolf, and together they built a family. Hana loved her mate fiercely, but fate took him from her, leaving her alone with two unusual kids she didn’t know how to raise. Frightened of being discovered, Hana and her wolf children fled to the countryside to build a new life. Raising her little wild things was an adventure. It left Hana bruised, scratched, exhausted, and joyously overwhelmed as her pups grew stronger and wandered further every day. This is a mother’s journey. Teach your children to chase their dreams — and smile through the tears as they disappear into the world in search of who they will become. Hana wasn’t always a mother, but it was always what she was meant to be — via Youtube
