HP is expanding its recall of laptop batteries with overheating issues that can cause computer damage and even fire. The company is recalling an additional 101,000 batteries in some laptops sold between March 2013 through October 2016. This is an expansion of the recall initiated in June 2016, which involved HP recalling 41,000 batteries. The batteries are in laptop brands including HP, Compaq, ProBook, Envy, Compaq Presario, and Pavilion laptops. Battery packs sold separately are also affected. Batteries are being recalled in the U.S, Canada and Mexico. Most are in the U.S., while 3,000 are being recalled in Canada, and 4,000 in Mexico. The laptops were sold through big-box retailers and online. You may need to check that your battery is eligible for recall. The batteries are black, and should have the bar codes 6BZLU, 6CGFK, 6CGFQ, 6CZMB, 6DEMA, 6DEMH, 6DGAL or 6EBVA printed on the back of the battery. Users can also download software from HP's recall website to check if the battery qualifies for a recall. In the U.S., users can call HP customer service at 1-888-202-4320 to request a replacement battery. Overall, HP received one report of a laptop catching fire in Canada, and eight reports of the battery overheating, catching fire or melting in the U.S. In one case, HP received a report of the "battery overheating, melting and charring and causing about $1,000 in property damage," according to a statement issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. In Canada, HP received one report of a laptop catching fire, but no one was injured, according to a statement issued by Health Canada.

In the past few years, Indonesia has experienced an average of 5 percent annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth. This could be partly attributed to the increasing po[CENSORED]tion of women in the workforce—almost five times as more in the past three years alone. Yet, Indonesia was ranked only 88th in the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2016. At the corporate level, creating the conditions to increase participation of women in the workforce remains challenging and complex. Where should employers begin? Diversity and inclusion requires deliberate effort. In Indonesia, many organizations have identified diversity management as a top priority and set minimum quotas for hiring women in their organizations, together with strategies to meet these quotas. In the recent Aon Best Employers Indonesia study, it was discovered that engagement levels among women have increased 1.8 percent year on year from 2013 to 2016—despite the decrease across Indonesia. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and the drivers for engagement are dynamic to each organization, the study showed that there are common traits among organizations where the engagement levels for women exceed the market average by a substantial 20 points. Provide infrastructure conducive to women In Indonesia, most young women leave their jobs when they become mothers because they don’t get sufficient support on meeting the needs of their children and families. These women may also turn down leadership positions, even though they have been identified as highly talented—which is a wasted opportunity for both the individual as well as the organization. Yet this significant problem has a simple solution: Provide infrastructure at the workplace to support young mothers, such as nursing rooms and childcare facilities—reasonably low investments that come with extremely high perceived value to female employees. Allow for flexible work arrangements Flexible work arrangements usually come in two ways—flexible working hours allows employees to work any 8 hours of the day (not strictly from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.); while flexible working spaces allows employees to work remotely, either at home or another office closer to their home. Many women employees at Best Employers Indonesia organizations have benefited from these schemes, and believe it helps them to achieve the level of work-life balance they desire. Offer attractive career and learning opportunities Women look for employers who offer equal and attractive opportunities for learning and development as well as career progression. Seventy-nine percent of Aon Best Employers in Indonesia already do this, compared to the market average of just 63 percent, which leads to a lower attrition rate among women. At the same time, organizations also benefit from having a more qualified—and engaged—pool of talent in the succession pipeline. Develop women leaders actively When succession pipelines are inadequate and middle management roles remain unfilled, supervisors grow overworked while employees grow unmotivated. By offering equal opportunities for women, identifying those who belong in the succession pipeline is a natural process—while still being sensitive to their personal and family commitments. One Aon Best Employer in Indonesia does this by creating an informal women’s support group within the organisation, which focuses on widening the women’s network and provides a safe forum for an exchange of ideas as well as support for newcomers. What’s more, the network helps to increase female employees’ awareness in what career and leadership opportunities are available—which, in turn, helps the organization proactively extend the pipeline of capable women for leadership roles. What does the future look like? This year, 24 percent of Aon Best Employers filled vacancies in managerial positions with current female employees, compared to only 13 percent in the market; while almost 40 percent have programs to specifically develop female employees with high potential, which shows a strong desire to prepare women for leadership roles. This demonstrates the immense future potential for women in the Indonesian workforce, considering the top five engagement drivers selected by women employees themselves: performance management (84 percent), learning and development (82 percent), supervision (82 percent), rewards and recognition (81 percent) and senior leadership (77 percent). Underlying each of these areas of strength is a commitment to diversity and inclusion, creating an environment where women in these organizations believe they are receiving the support they need from their supervisors and leaders to perform well at the workplace—without compromising on their personal commitments. Correspondingly, HR policy and processes such as flexible working arrangements are designed with the changing life stages of women employees in mind. As the contribution of women to Indonesian business becomes increasingly significant, only the most forward-thinking employers will have the strategies in place to attract the best among them. By monitoring the engagement levels of women, not just once a year but through pulse surveys throughout the year, employers become more equipped to act on the key drivers for their women employees. There is no better time than now for Indonesian employers to harness the full potential of the women in their workforce.

The best free audio editor When you want to edit an audio file – whether it's to create a custom ringtone for your phone, make your own podcasts or record music – the prospect of choosing the right audio editor for the job can be a daunting one. The complexity of some audio editors might be enough to scare you away, but it's more likely to be the price tag attached to such software that sends you running. Never fear, though – there are free options packed with professional-quality features. Whether you're looking for a tool to help create a soundtrack for your home movies, or you need something to help you convert your old record and cassette collection into MP3 format while removing background static, there's a free audio editor out there for you. Have we missed your favorite free audio editor? Let us know in the comments below. 1. Audacity Available for any desktop platform you care to mention, Audacity is our first choice free music editor. It has a huge following, and it's one that is entirely justified. It's a powerful tool that would put some paid-for product to shame, and although the interface might initially seem slightly intimidating, it's actually surprisingly approachable even for beginners. Audacity is equipped with an extensive suite of built-in tools, enabling you to edit pre-recorded files, capture sound through an attached microphone, or even stream music and podcasts. There's support for a wide range of audio formats for both importing and exporting, and the range of built-in effect is impressive. There's also a great selection of third-party plug-ins to make it even more versatile (one of our favourites is autotune add-on Gsnap, for that T-Pain effect), and a comprehensive manual is available to help you to get to grips with the more complicated aspects of the program. Its sheer power and incredible set of features make Audacity the best free audio editor you can download today. 2. Free Audio Editor Free Audio Editor's name tells you everything you need to know here. You have to deselect a few checkboxes to avoid installing unwanted software, but the tool itself is worth the effort. It can be used to record audio via line-in, work with existing music files, or to rip CDs. One thing that makes Free Audio Editor stand out from the competition is the way the interface has been designed. Rather than hiding option deep in confusing menus, everything you need to right at your fingertips. A neat effects sidebar makes it simple to get to the tools you need, and you can even bookmark those you use most to make your life even easier. You can get as hands-on as you like, but many of the readymade filters such as breath reduction (particularly handy for podcasts) and background noise reduction mean that you'll be able to perform many audio cleanup tasks in just a few clicks. 3. Free MP3 Cutter and Editor Free MP3 Cutter and Editor is a simple audio editor designed with a very specific type of music editing in mind. Audacity would be a better choice if you want fine control of your tracks, but if you're looking for nothing more than a quick and dirty editor for trimming the fat from your MP3s, this is perfect. Open your MP3 file and you can cut out unwanted sections, add a fade-in or fade-out, adjust the volume, and convert between stereo and mono. That's it. It might sound limited, but this free audio editor extremely good at what it does (for example, if you have saved a live recording as one large MP3 and then want to divide it up into a number of individual tracks). It's not the sort of task you would need a professional music editor for, and Free MP3 Cutter and Editor fits the bill nicely. 4. WavePad Audio Editor Free The iPad has, over the years, become recognised as a value tool for music creation, but not so much for editing tracks. WavePad Audio Editor Free is an interesting app for a couple of reasons: not only is it a free music editing app, but it's also available for iOS and Android as well as Windows. The mobile apps (which you'll find in the Apple and Google Play Stores respectively) are surprisingly powerful - helped, perhaps, by the fact that the iOS and Android versions are designed much like the desktop software. There are a number of filters and audio editing options available such as trimming, a high pass filter, normalization and merging files, and you can add more tools via in-app purchases. There are some nice extra touches too, including voice-activated recording, and an auto-trim editing function. 5. ocenaudio Like Audacity, ocenaudio is available for multiple platforms (Windows, Linux and Mac). While not bursting with features, it's a great tool for everyday audio editing. Real-time effect previewing should help to speed up your work as there's no need to apply a change just to try it out, and a highly precise selection tool makes it easy to apply the same effect to multiple sections of a file. You can work with locally stored files, or even open those hosted online. This audio editor's somewhat sparse interface quickly becomes a joy to use, and if you spend a little time familiarizing yourself with the keyboard shortcuts, you should fly through common tasks in next to no time. There's a decent range of effects to choose from, and there's even the option of exporting your creations as a ringtone for your iPhone. 6. mp3DirectCut Despite its name, mp3DirectCut does more than just slicing up MP3s (although it does that very well). You can record directly into the program or work with existing audio files, and although there are no fancy options, all of the basics are covered. As well as simple track splitting, this compact audio editor also contains tools for normalising audio, increasing volume, and fading. Automatic pause detection is available to help make it easier to decided where to split a track, and if you have created cue files to automate file processing, there's support for those in this audio editor. mp3DirectCut also features a batching processing option that can be used to quickly apply the same settings and effects to entire folders full of files. This is handy for normalising a series of tracks, or increasing the volume of a set that were recorded at the same time. 7. Acoustica Basic Edition Acoustica Basic Edition is a superb music editor, and is particularly good at cleaning up old music recordings from vinyl or cassettes by removing unwanted noise. Opting for the free version means missing out on options such as a multi-track editor and support for 7.1 surround sound, but you still get a lot to play with. It has a very professional look and feel, and the Effect Chain - an area where you can build up and play with a layered series of filters - is a particular highlight. There's support for DirectX and VST plug-ins, so you can easily expand the program's repertoire. If you want to get a taste for music editing with the freedom to move beyond the basics when you feel ready, Acoustica Basic Edition is an excellent starting point. 8. Wavosaur Wavosaur differs from the rest of the audio editors we're looking at because it's a portable app. You can therefore save it to a USB stick, ready for use on any PC without installation. Despite its tiny size, Wavosaur packs a punch. It's designed with MP3 editing in mind, but supports other key formats as well. It also boasts features like pitch shifting and vocal removal (ideal for making DIY karaoke tracks, and as with Audacity, its feature set can be expanded with VST plug-ins. The basic program hasn't been updated in quite some time, but don't let that put you off - it's an absolute gem of a music editor.

The leak scene is probably one of the most interconnected bunch of tech enthusiasts around the world and we have something very interesting for our readers today. These are the stolen Razer Valerie laptops the company was looking for and they are no longer in the US. From the looks of it, they are currently somewhere in mainland China and can be yours for just $22000 (well $21733 to be precise). These aren’t the Razer Valerie laptops you are looking for – unless you have $22000 lying around then they very much are The Project Valerie laptops feature an incredibly innovative design with three screens (Acme Portable anyone?) that flips out and provides an immersive surround experience on the go. While it currently features a moderately specced GPU, if the company goes on to adopt the design they can bring in the big guns as well. For now, however, the prototypes being shown on the CES floor are the only ones in the entire world. The temptation however, was apparently too much for someone because two prototypes were stolen earlier this week from the show floor. Turns out that the guy or girl who stole them were able to take them overseas to mainland China where they are now on sale on Taobao for 150000 Yuan or roughly 21700 USD. That’s quite a price tag but considering the novelty value as well as the rarity of the product, its pretty decent all things considered. Razer, here are your laptops, now where is my bag of $$$?

Ford revealed the updated 2018 Mustang this week with new styling, a digital instrument cluster, electronic shock absorbers, collision avoidance technology, and more power – even if it isn’t yet saying exactly how much. 1. Take a deep breath The Mustang’s new headlights look like they have small air intakes tucked underneath them, but it’s an illusion, they don’t go anywhere. Meanwhile, the vertical slits lower down on the front fascia aren’t there to cool the brakes, they create air curtains around the front wheels to improve aerodynamics. 2. Stick it to them One of the 2018 Mustang’s signature features is its new 10-speed automatic transmission, but a six-speed stick is standard. It’s not a carryover, though, it has a new twin disc clutch and dual-mass flywheel to make it stronger and improve clutch pedal feel. There’s also new gearing with a shorter first gear and two overdrives for improved acceleration and fuel economy. Fourth gear is now direct drive, so if you ignore the 5/6 gate, you can pretty much pretend it’s a classic Toploader. 3. Don't get framed The rearview mirrors in the prototype cars are placeholders. The production 2018 Mustang will feature a yet to be revealed slim, frameless design, similar to what’s found in the Chevrolet Camaro. The Mustang’s visibility isn’t as challenged as its arch-rival, but who’s going to argue with a better view when you’re approaching its electronically-limited 155 mph top speed? 4. Will you press the pony button? Among the many buttons on the steering wheel is one marked with the Mustang logo, which doesn’t really explain all that much. Does it increase the power? Make it whinny? Not quite. It’s a shortcut to the performance functions available in the instrument cluster, like Track Apps, launch control, and the Mustang’s outrageous line lock function for doing easy burnouts.

A row has erupted over Madonna's comments about US President Donald Trump during a speech at the weekend. While taking part in a protest march in Washington DC on Saturday, the singer said she had thought "an awful lot about blowing up the White House". Trump supporters reacted angrily, claiming that there would have been uproar if such a comment had been made about former president Barack Obama. Madonna has now said her remarks were taken "wildly out of context". "I am not a violent person, I do not promote violence and it's important people hear and understand my speech in its entirety rather than one phrase," she posted on Instagram. She added she was trying to express there are two ways to respond to Donald Trump's election - with hope or with anger - and said she wanted to start a "revolution of love". Madonna had been attending the Women's March in Washington DC - one of several anti-Trump protests taking place around the world over the weekend Several news networks had begun broadcasting Madonna's speech live on Saturday but many cut away after she swore several times. "Yes, I'm angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. But I know that this won't change anything," she said in her speech. After Madonna made the comments, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus told Fox News: "One of the singers said she wanted to blow up the White House. I mean, can you imagine saying that about President Obama?" Kellyanne Conway, a senior White House aide, described Madonna's speech as "destructive". She also drew attention to some reports that the secret service had been made aware of the singer's comments. Threats against the US president are routinely taken seriously by the secret service but one US official told the New York Post it would depend on whether Madonna's remarks were considered a genuine threat. "It's all about intent. Is she intending to do harm to the White House or President Trump? Otherwise it will be characterised as inappropriate," the official said.

The best free music app for Windows Music makes even the dullest day more fun, but the default players that ship with Windows’ various versions aren’t exactly all-singing, all-dancing audio extravaganzas. Here are the apps that make music amazing on your PC. 1. foobar2000 Some music players are all style and no substance, with flashy interfaces and a distinct lack of decent features. Foobar2000 is the opposite. It doesn’t look like much – it’s designed to be simple and memory-efficient – but you can make it look any way you like and add whatever features you want. That’s because what’s already a very useful audio player, ripper and converter offers stacks of 'components', which extend its powers even more. Components include CD burning, decoding of PlayStation sound files, visualizations, playlist organisers and all kinds of useful things. You can even customize the keyboard shortcuts to suit your way of doing things. Foobar2000 is the best free music app for Windows. 2. Spotify Spotify isn’t the only free music app for streaming, but it’s the one everybody knows and the client software is extremely well designed. Spotify isn’t just a music player; it’s a music platform that works not just on Windows but on mobile devices, games consoles and all kinds of other devices too. As you’d expect from a service that’s primarily about subscriptions the free version is limited in what it can do – tracks shuffle and you’ll get the odd advert - but if you don’t mind somebody else controlling the playlist it’s a great way to soundtrack whatever you’re doing. 3. MusicBee MusicBee describes itself as the ultimate music manager and player, and it’s available for Windows versions from Vista onwards. If you’re still using the Windows default, it’s like moving from black and white to Technicolor. There’s a multi-band equaliser with digital signal processing effects, support for high-end audio cards, upmixing from stereo to surround sound and even support for some WinAmp plugins to expand the app further. It comes with a choice of skins, syncs with mobile devices including Android and Windows phones, integrates with Last.fm and includes a vizualizer to make your music look as good as it sounds. 4. Dopamine Dopamine is your brain’s happy juice, and its music playing namesake should give you the warm and fuzzies too. This free music app is designed to make organizing and listening to music as simple as possible, and it looks absolutely brilliant on Windows 10. It supports wav, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WMA and M4A/AAC, and there are a range of views from full-window to sitting in the taskbar. It’s a lovely-looking thing and it really is easy to use, and we like the way you can make it as shouty or quiet as possible by changing the notifications settings. It’s well worth the download. 5. MediaMonkey One of the big pains about digital music is that if your collection is bigger than a few albums, it’s easy for it to get messy. For example, you might have REM and R.E.M., or U2 and good music. Haha! MediaMonkey can’t stop unwanted U2 albums turning up, but this free music app can automatically tag your music as well as other useful things including DLNA streaming, syncing with devices including Android and iPods, run in DJ mode, automatically set volumes so tracks don’t vary, record CDs and download audio from the internet. Add-ons offer even more including sound effects and additional format support. 6. Winamp Winamp has been languishing in development hell for a while now, but a new version is coming and the classic version remains a very good little music app that we love to bits, largely because it was our introduction to the joys of MP3 music. It’s ancient in software terms but there’s a charm to it that more modern players lack – partly because it looks horrible, and partly because you can make it look even more horrible. But the real fun is in its visualizations and plugins, which have the benefit of two decades of developers’ efforts. If you fancy kicking it old-school, it’s a lot of fun. 7. VLC Media Player You probably know about VLC, the kick-ass free video player, but you might not know about VLC, the kick-ass free music app. And here’s the twist: they’re the same program. VLC Media Player might not be as pretty as some other media apps, but that’s never been a key part of its appeal: it’s the fact that VLC can import and export in file formats so numerous that we’re secretly convinced some of them are completely made up. It plays any kind of disc you can throw at it, supports all the main online streaming protocols, and of course it has brilliant video features too. It’s an absolute gem. 8. AIMP AIMP has been kicking around for 10 years now, but it's still very much alive; its most recent release was just a few weeks ago. This is a free music app for power users, with a built-in 18-band equalizer and a whole host of sound effects and even a vocal remover, smart playlists based on criteria you select, a fantastic audio file converter and CD grabber, and group tag editing to keep your library in top shape. You can even get AIMP to wake you up in the morning or automatically shut down the system at night once your favorite tunes have lulled you into a deep sleep. 9. Resonic Resonic might not have the high profile that other music apps enjoy, but it’s a high quality app with an interesting approach: it’s built around frequency analysis and waveform viewing so you can actually see what you’re listening to – not as a visualization but as a real-time view of the audio file and the frequencies it’s using. There’s something wonderfully hypnotic about that. The rest of this free music app is good too with an attractive interface, wide format support, automatic fades and a sleep timer. Resonic integrates with the Taskbar in Windows from Windows 7 onwards too. And there’s an integrated MIDI synth that’s optimized for quick auditioning of MIDI tracks. 10. Audacity An oldie but a goodie, Audacity can be used as a music player, but we like it more for editing music. It’s particularly good for jobs such as digitizing old cassettes or vinyl records, removing background noise and chopping albums into discrete tracks, and you can use it for multi-track recording and for audio mastering. If your hardware supports it, you can even record at sample rates of up to 192,000Hz – the same as pro recording studios use - or up to 384,000Hz if you have a high-res sound card. The loopback feature is particularly handy – it captures whatever the system is playing, making it great for recording Skype calls and other audio.

Twelve children died and 41 were “severely harmed” because of mistakes by doctors and other problems with their medical treatment over a nine-year period in England and Wales, according to new research. The study, which looked at primary care safety reports about patients under the age of 18, found there had been 2,191 safety incidents between January 2005 and December 2013. Of those, 658 were described as “harmful”. Primary care mostly means GPs, community nurses and community pharmacies. The researchers cautioned that under-reporting of such incidents was a problem, so the figures could be higher. However one patient-safety expert noted that many of the supposed safety incidents involved failing to follow protocol and suggested this might be more about the “less noble” pursuit of office politics rather than “caring deeply” about improving patient care. The most common reason why a child involved in a safety incident was seeking medical attention was asthma or another respiratory condition. The most common type of error was prescribing the wrong kind of drug, accounting for nearly 32 per cent of the total, followed by mistakes in diagnosis (23 per cent). Some problems were systemic, rather than individual. Writing in the journal PLOS Medicine, the researchers said their work was designed to find ways to prevent “avoidable child deaths”. “Of 2,191 safety incidents…, 30 per cent (658) were harmful, including 12 deaths and 41 cases of severe harm,” they said. “The children involved in these incidents had respiratory conditions (18 per cent), injuries (13 per cent), non-specific signs and symptoms, for example fevers (13 per cent) and gastrointestinal or genitourinary conditions (12 per cent), among others.” The paper suggested a number of ways to reduce these figures. “Priority areas for improvement include safer systems for medication provision in community pharmacies; triage processes to enable effective and timely assessment, diagnosis and referral of acutely sick children attending out-of-hours services; and enhanced communication for robust safety-netting between professionals and parents,” it said. Dr Gordon Schiff, of Harvard Medical School in the US, said the study contained valuable insights into how to better treat sick children. He also highlighted the problem of under-reporting of safety issues by medical staff, drawing on his own experiences as a primary care doctor and patient-safety researcher. “At one point, I had filed more error and adverse drug reactions reports than all the other physicians at my public hospital in Chicago combined, making me either the institution’s most dangerous prescriber or its most diligent reporter,” he wrote in an accompanying article in PLOS Medicine. “Hoping it is more the latter, it is sobering to consider how infrequently adverse events and errors are being reported.”

The best web browser Are you getting the best of the web? We all have our preferred web browser, and generally won't even think about changing unless something goes disastrously wrong. According to the statistics, most of us opt for Google Chrome - but is it the best? We've rounded up the best web browsers - Chrome among them, of course - to show that there's much more to viewing the web. Perhaps you're looking for raw speed, high levels of customization, or rock-solid privacy for your browsing exploits. Maybe you're just looking for a change for the sake of trying something new. Whatever your reason, read on. 1. Google Chrome With Chrome, Google has built an extendable, efficient browser that deserves its place at the top of the browser rankings. According to w3schools' browser trend analysis its user base is only rising, even as Microsoft Edge's install numbers are presumably growing. Why? Well, it's cross-platform, incredibly stable, brilliantly presented to take up the minimum of screen space, and just about the nicest browser there is to use. Its wide range of easily obtained and installed extensions mean you can really make it your own, and there's support for parental controls and a huge range of tweaks and settings to ensure maximum efficiency. But there are downsides, and potentially big ones. It's among the heaviest browsers in terms of resource use, so it's not brilliant on machines with limited RAM, and its performance doesn't quite match up to others in benchmarking terms. And with Google's tentacles running through it, you might be uncomfortable with the ways in which your browsing data may be used. 2. Opera It's sad that Opera makes up only around 1% of the browser market, because it really is a quality browser. It launches fast, the UI is brilliantly clean, and it does everything its rivals can do with a couple of extras thrown in for good measure. The key reason we'd at least recommend having Opera installed alongside your main browser is its Opera Turbo feature. This compresses your web traffic, routing it through Opera's servers, which makes a huge difference to browsing speed if you're stuck on rural dial-up or your broadband connection is having a moment. It reduces the amount of data transferred too, handy if you're using a mobile connection, and this re-routing also dodges any content restrictions your ISP might place on your browsing, which can be mighty handy. Opera automatically ducks out of the way if you're using secure sites like banks so your traffic is free and clear of any potential privacy violation. There's also an integrated ad-blocker - which can be switched off if you're morally inclined in that direction - and a battery-saving mode which promises to keep your laptop going for longer. 3. Microsoft Edge The default 'browsing experience' on Windows 10, Edge is an odd one. Quite why Microsoft needs to be running a pair of browser products in tandem is beyond us. The company's reason, it seems, is that Edge represents the more user-friendly end of Redmond's offering while Internet Explorer scales a little better for enterprise. Integration with Windows 10's core gimmicks seems to be Edge's main strong point. It happily runs as a modern-skinned app on Windows 10's tablet mode, and works with Cortana. It's also highly streamlined for the current web age, doing away with insecure protocols like ActiveX and forcing you into Internet Explorer if you want to use them. We're more used to browsers failing to render newer pages than we are to being told off for visiting older corners of the web. Curmudgeonly grumbles aside, actually using Edge is a perfectly pleasant experience. It's super-quick, hammers through benchmarks, its integrated reading mode makes complex sites more palatable, and by sandboxing it away from the rest of the operating system Microsoft has ensured that Edge won't suffer the security breaches of its older brother. 4. Mozilla Firefox Once the leader in overall po[CENSORED]rity in the browser war, Firefox is now now a slightly sad third place. It's not clear why; while it lags behind its main competitors in terms of design, keeping the search and URL boxes separate and leaving buttons on display where others have removed them, it's regularly updated on a six-week schedule and has a raft of extensions available. Firefox tends to hit the middle-to-bottom end of benchmark tests, however, and we did find it a little sluggish to a barely noticeable extent. Recent additions like built-in support for Pocket and Hello aren't going to be to everyone's taste, but some will love them. And that about sums up the Firefox of today; incredibly divisive, despite being a solid browser with a quality rendering engine. If you're looking for an alternative take on the same structure, Waterfox may fit the bill. It's built on Firefox code, removes many of the restrictions and integrations of the main release, and purports to be one of the fastest browsers around. 5. Vivaldi Here's something a bit different. We all spend probably far too much time sitting in front of our web browsers, and up-and-comer Vivaldi wants to make that as pleasant and personal an experience as possible. Itself build out of web technologies like Javascript and node.js, Vivaldi can adapt its colour scheme to the sites you're using, and indeed the structure of its interface is entirely up to you. There's a built-in note-taking system, you can dock websites as side panels while using the main window to do your main browsing, and we love its innovative tab stacking tech, which allows you to group up tabs and move them around to avoid the crowding that so often plagues other browsers. It's not the fastest and it's not the most fully featured, lacking any official support for extensions, but Vivaldi is relatively new and we don't doubt it'll receive further expansion as time goes on. It's a refreshing and creative take on web browsing, and one to watch in the next couple of years. 6. Microsoft Internet Explorer Microsoft Internet Explorer has seen some ups and downs in its long tenure, from dominating the browser charts to languishing behind its main two competitors. This is partly an issue of choice - particularly the browser choice that Microsoft was forced to give customers after a court ruling - and partially because older versions fell behind the rendering and compatibility curve. There are no such issues with Internet Explorer 11. It's clean, powerful, highly compatible, and it demands less of your RAM and CPU than equivalent pages would on Chrome or Firefox. Plus it one-ups both of them on WebKit's Sunspider benchmark. That's not to say this browser is perfect. Google's V8 benchmark sees it struggling, and IE isn't quite as able to handle add-ons and extensions as many of its competitors. So while there's no reason to avoid IE like there might once have been, if you're looking for a more customised browsing experience you're out of luck. 7. Tor Browser Tor Browser is, perhaps unjustly, most regularly associated with the seedy underworld of the dark web. While it's true that you can use this web browser to access otherwise unlisted sites, Tor's privacy aspects - where your traffic is routed through random nodes the world over, making it very hard to track - are its real asset. Tor Browser is really a package of tools; Tor itself, a heavily modified version of the Firefox extended support release, and a number of other privacy packages that combine to make it the most secure browsing experience you're likely to find. Nothing is tracked, nothing is stored, and you can forget about bookmarks and cookies. You'll need to alter your browsing habits to ensure that you don't perform actions online that reveal your identity - Tor Browser is just a tool, after all - but for a secondary browser useful for those private moments it's a great choice. Run it from a USB stick and nobody need even know you have it at all.

At least 36 people have been killed and many others injured after a train derailed in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, officials say. Nine coaches and the engine left the tracks near Kuneru station in Vizianagaram district, the head of East Coast Railway, JP Mishra, said. Many people are still trapped in the wreckage and rescuers warn that the death toll could rise. It is not yet clear what caused the train to derail. The area where the accident occurred is known as a Maoist hotbed. Mr Mishra said the injured had been taken to two nearby hospitals. National railway spokesman Anil Saxena said emergency teams had worked through the night to try to locate survivors. The crash happened on Saturday evening as the train was on its way from Jagdalpur to Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha state. Train accidents are not unusual in India where much of the railway equipment is out of date. Last November, more than 140 people were killed in a derailment in India's northern Uttar Pradesh state. In March 2015 another accident in Uttar Pradesh killed 39 people and injured 150.

People with debilitating bowel conditions are being invited to take part in a study to better understand what causes the diseases to worsen. University of Edinburgh researchers want to shed light on everyday factors that may influence flare-ups of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. They also want to investigate how changes in diet and lifestyle might help sufferers. The study will collect data from 1,500 patients in Scotland and England. It is being led by the university and NHS Lothian. Participants will be asked to complete online questionnaires about their eating, exercise and sleeping habits and monitor feelings of stress and anxiety. They will also be asked to provide mouth swabs and stool samples so researchers can analyse their DNA and examine bacteria living in their gut. Bowel inflammation Those taking part will provide monthly updates for two years, detailing how well their symptoms are being controlled and any significant events. Experts will compare information from those who experience flare-ups with those who do not. They hope to pinpoint everyday factors that could contribute to the onset of symptoms. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are caused by inflammation in the bowel. About one in 200 people in the UK are living with the conditions and young people are particularly affected. Symptoms include severe abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, nausea and tiredness that can affect all aspects of day-to-day life. Lifestyle changes Current treatments are focused on alleviating the symptoms but patient responses vary. There is no cure. Researchers from the University of Aberdeen will provide expertise in diet and nutrition plus analysis of participants' gut bacteria during the study. The research is being funded by two charities - Cure Crohn's Colitis, and Crohn's and Colitis in Childhood - as well as the Scottish government's Chief Scientist Office. Chief investigator Dr Charlie Lees said: "Patients often ask us whether there are any changes to their diet or lifestyle that would help to better manage their symptoms. "We hope the findings from this study will give us the evidence base needed to provide better advice for those living with these debilitating diseases."

Feel the power of the penguin Think MacBooks are a rip-off and Windows 10 is flat-out rubbish? Maybe it’s time to consider the best Linux distro for you. If you’ve never touched Linux before, and cower at the sound of the word “distro”, there’s no reason for hesitation. A Linux distro, or distribution, is computer jargon for the way the operating system is being packaged. Each distro varies based on default interface, otherwise known as the desktop environment, preinstalled apps and repositories, the library of apps–yes, including VPNs–that’s officially supported. Proliferate your effectiveness by booting multiple Linux distros on a single USB If you prefer the classic Linux experience of using terminal commands to install apps, the sort of thing that’ll have Instagram-addicted millennials scared silly, that, too is still an option. But, there also exist hyper-accessible distros that make Linux feel more like macOS Sierra, geeky software knowledge be damned. Here we’ve gathered seven of the finest Linux distros that cover all of your common needs, from those looking to make sure no-one knows what they’re searching for online to others that look and feel quite a lot like Windows 10 or macOS. The best bit? They’re all free.

Shelby American is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first Super Snake by creating a new model, which will debut at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction later this month. Only 500 will be produced. The new Snake uses Ford’s 5.0-liter Coyote V8 along with a supercharger to produce either 670 or 750 hp. The big output car is good for a sprint to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and a 10.9-second quarter-mile -- with an automatic transmission. The 670-hp version is slightly slower, as is the manual-equipped car. “When Carroll Shelby introduced the Super Snake version of the Ford Mustang in 1967, it earned universal respect for its astonishing capabilities,” said Joe Conway, co-CEO of Carroll Shelby International and CEO of Shelby American. “When Shelby American reintroduced the Super Snake in 2007, the world was awed by the 600-plus-hp street-legal muscle car. That tradition continues with our newest Shelby Super Snake, which is better in every way. Carroll’s bold spirit lives on through this amazing car.” The base Super Snake will set you back $69,995 including the price of a 2017 Ford Mustang GT. In addition to the motor, it also includes high-performance Ford/Shelby dampers, sway bars, springs and bushings, 20-inch forged aluminum wheels, Wilwood six-piston brakes for the front, four-piston brakes in the rear and new brake cooling ducts. The sheetmetal is upgraded with Shelby parts including hood, grilles, rockers, splitters, spoiler, rear panels and rear diffuser, LED fog lights and anniversary badges. Inside, you get anniversary logos, special sill plates, unique gauge cluster and an official Shelby serial number. There’s a boatload of optional equipment including the bigger supercharger from Kenne Bell or Whipple, extra cooling, performance half-shafts, a more aggressive suspension and more.
