Facebook has begun testing a new feature called "Happening Now" so users can keep up with friends with real-time updates, reports said today.
The "Happening Now" sidebar sits on the right side of a user's news feed, displaying real-time updates below dedicated spots for advertising, according to The Next Web. The sidebar gives users the chance to see how their connections are interacting with one another without having to look far from their main feed.
"We are currently testing a feature within News Feed that gives people the ability to see what their friends are commenting on and 'liking', as these actions are being taken on Facebook," Facebook told The Next Web. "This test includes a small percentage of Facebook users, just a fraction of a percent. In the coming weeks, as we learn more from this test, we'll keep making improvements and may expand it to more people."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
(However, a bug has already been found by the few Facebook guinea pigs -- it lets those with the "Happening Now" feature bypass some privacy settings to see user content without permission.)
Obviously Facebook has finally wised up to the fact its "Top News" setting on the news feed seems to be mostly filled with "news" that's a few days old. If users don't repeatedly manually refresh to "Most Recent" they may miss out on seeing most of the status updates in the last 24 hours. (We have changed settings to "Most Recent" on our news feed and still encounter "Top News" periodically.). The "Happening Now" feature seems to be trying to mitigate that problem -- but we can't help but think Facebook would have been better off scrapping "Top News."

Oshi'Vamiea, pronounced O-chee-Vahm-Ee-Ah, is prominent in the Western lands of Waleoa, where she is primarily worshipped in the sea-side city of Car'thi. Summary::Oshi'Vamiea primarily appears as a woman comprised of clear, pure water, burdened with a mermaid's tail. Devoted to the power of water, and the freedom that it demands, Oshi'Vamiea is a particular choice amongst rogues and those who find themselves burdened upon by others. Oshi'Vamiea is the patron of Merfolk, and the Gnolls who consider the Western Lake-ridden lands their home; She considers them her children, and as such much of her clergy are devoted members of these races.
Dogma Edit
The Clergy of Oshi'Vamiea never infringe upon the rights, or gifts of others. They stand up for others who can not stand up for themselves, but do not tolerate those who are lazy or simply lame of the mind. Neutrality amidst conflict, and reason and logic before emotion and the wishes of others. As well, Oshi'Vamiea wishes it's clergy to commit to charity, helping those who cannot help themselves.
Clergy and Temples Edit
Oshi'Vamiea's Temples are constructed firmly near beaches, or within the tidal dwellings of the merfolk. Protected by those stalwart of heart, and strong of the mind, not to mention a common theme of rooms flooded with water, Oshi'Vamiea's temples are things of legendary challenges for Rogues she deems worthy.
Oshi'Vamiea's Clergy is filled primarily with Merfolk, Gnolls, and Rogues who value the freedom of mind, body, and spirit that her soothing oceans bring them. Particularly common are female Merfolk priestesses, and Gnoll Paladins, while many of it's most devoted are Rogues-turned-Cleric granted the blessings of their beloved Goddess.
Pantheon Edit
Pantheon of Elements of Waleoa.

The launch of the iPad 2 may be dominating the news at the moment, but we haven't forgotten the other entertainment device that was released in the UK on the same day (25 march), the Nintendo 3DS. And as we've now got a few games to go with it, we thought we'd cast our beady eyes, in true stereoscopic fashion, over each title.
However, we haven't had enough time to play them fully enough to review them outright (those will come next week when we've played them more), so here's our initial thoughts.
First up is Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D (PES 2011 3D to its friends), and the first thing that strikes us is that its use of the 3D screen is the best we've seen. However, it's also impossible to play in any mode other than the traditional sideways-scrolling "wide", thus negating the best visuals.
That's not to say that you don't get a half-decent 3D spacial experience with the conventional way of playing PES - indeed, it has a palpable sense of depth - it's just that you kind of want to feel really absorbed, rather than on the periphery looking in. That's the point in three-dimensional gaming, after all.
Better news is that, from the few matches we've played so far, this version of PES is far better than anything that's come out on an Xbox 360 or PS3. It plays much more like PS2 Pro Evolution Soccer, and the 3DS' newly-adopted thumbstick allows you to actually play the game in a fluid and natural fashion. It's almost worth the purchase just for that.
The one thing to note though, is that you may need to adapt your game to avoid waving the 3DS around, or else you'll visually lose track of what's going on as the 3D screen blurs out of view. The sweet spot is fairly small, so you have to stay predominantly still.
We haven't had a chance to play multiplayer yet, but will do before launching into a full review. And from a rapid whizz through the options and menus, the set-up is as PES as it comes, right down to the mocked-up team names for unlicensed properties (such as Merseyside Red for Liverpool). Naturally, you can change the names and kits in the editor, and we wonder if there'll be online fan edits to download and store on the SD card. Hopefully, there'll be an unofficial transfer update too, as Torres is still with the Reds, and such like.
Initial impressions are grand, but mainly because the gameplay is right. We're just not sure, at present, what the 3D aspect adds, if anything.
PES 2011 3D is available now for £39.99, although you can get for around a tenner cheaper if you shop around.
Have you played PES 2011 on the 3DS yet? If so, what do you think? Let us know in the comments below...

Are you ready to join the "wagon revolution"? Taking its lead from the lofty heights of the likes of Audi's RS brand, the latest addition to the Kia range - an estate version of the company's Ford Focus-rivaling Cee'd – has been renamed the Sportswagon. It's because Kia sees an opportunity to reposition the estate car, to reflect the type's position, increasingly, as the most sporty variant in a typical three-car saloon, hatchback and estate range, like Audi does - the new RS4 is available only as a 'wagon. And given both the average family and the typical fleet buyer's desire for ever-increasing levels of practicality, Kia believes that two-thirds of Cee'ds it sells might end up being this, the Sportswagon variant.
But as the brand's stock has risen and become almost German-rivaling in its design qualities under the leadership of former Audi designer Peter Schreyer, so Kia has moved away from its value proposition. To the point where this car is – at best – on par, price-wise with equivalent vehicles from Ford, Vauxhall and Renault. So, should you choose a Cee'd over a Focus? We flew to Slovakia to find out.
If you've read our review of the regular hatchback car from earlier in the year, you probably won't be too surprised at what you find here. A cab-forward shape – the A-pillars blend into the bonnet – which announces itself with a chrome ringed Kia "tiger's-nose" grille. Unusually for an estate version of a hatch, Kia has designed bespoke rear doors for the Sportswagon, so the window line flows in a continuous upward sweep to the rear of the car. At the back, there are some Audi-like lights and an unusual curved shape to the lower edge of the rear window. There are definite shades of Astra to it (read - less busy than a Focus, not as classy as a Golf).
At just over 4.5m long, the Sportswagon's shorter than an Astra or Focus estate, but there appears to be no less room inside. The boot's huge and Kia's thrown some money at nice lashing hooks, underfloor pockets and trays – and if you want to venture up to the dizzy heights of the 4 Tech model trim - although at £24,795 we'd suggest you don't - you even get a fancy metal load divider, the sort you usually find only in premium German SUVs.
Inside there are decent seats - which on this model include a height adjuster for the passenger too - and a soft-touch upper dash section, which surrounds a gloss black panel that the main instruments are cowled into. All the control weights are light and consistent, but Kia's not quite got the knack of beating the Germans at the cabin quality and design game. Our beige plastic test car interior was frankly yuk, while a black car we looked at was better, but showed up the slightly cheap, old-fashioned grain to the plastic much more.
The price might have gone up, but the company's far from abandoned its value proposition wholesale because this Sportwagon comes with just about everything you'd want - which is a good job, because the only option is metallic paint.
On our upper-middle spec "3" test car - trim levels 3 and 4 get navigation as standard - you'll get Bluetooth phone and music streaming, a USB port, two 12v ports upfront and one in the boot, steering wheel controls, cruise control, variable-ratio power steering assistance (which isn't wonderful) but most importantly a graphically clear 7-inch touchscreen with integrated satnav that will accept seven-character UK post code entries, and which also displays images from the full-colour rear-view camera. Phew.
In the centre of the (exceptionally clear) gauges there's a red digital screen, which manages to look a little cheap because of its colouration, but dishes out info on the trip, steering assistances, eco-driving and so on in a neat way that reminded us a little of the system in a Mercedes-Benz. Its best feature though is a stopwatch which lets you know for how long the stop-start's been active at the lights: this allows you to feel the halo-effect of your green do-gooding or, alternately, become gently incensed at just how long you truly get held at traffic lights. The steering wheel's a bit busy to look at, with controls for the trip, radio, phone and steering assistance all on their, but it's all easy to understand on the move.
We're going to insert a fairly large caveat here from the get-go, because the cars we were driving had come straight off the production line at Kia's Slovakian factory and the engines were therefore very new. So the 1.6-litre diesel, with emissions of 116 g/km - which means from year two onwards it will cost only £30 a year to tax - felt a little flat to us. You don't get the same slug of torque you do from bigger, punchier 2.0 diesels of yore and you need to rev it to get the best from it. But even then we reckon it's on the margins of acceptability for what the typical business user will expects in terms of performance.
However, the caveat is that these diesel engines are known for loosening up a lot in the first couple of thousand miles, so this may improve. Regardless of that it's pretty quiet and refined - especially impressive on start up - and it flows along the motorway happily enough, ticking over at 2500rpm at 80mph.
Where Kia's really got this car spot-on however, is the suspension set-up. The Cee'd benefits from independent rear suspension, like the Golf and Focus, and the ride has been tuned for comfort rather than fake sportiness. The result is that on crumbly and craggy Slovakian roads that aren't dissimilar to British ones, the ride was calm, composed and smooth rather than hard - which is a really enjoyable change. Just a shame that the adaptive power steering assistance system isn't great - choose between three levels of (too light) comfort, (best of the bunch) normal, and (unnecessarily firm and gloopy) sport.
We also drove a basic spec 1.4 CRDi and without the fancy steering system it actually steered much more nicely. And while its smaller, 1.4 diesel engine isn't about performance, another journalist managed to get 85mpg out of it over a 100-mile route. It's only available in basic "1" spec, but if you can live without the Nav and a few other bits of kit, then as long as you don't spend a lot of your time on motorways, at £16,895 it might just be the pick of the range.
How ironic that Kia has chosen to name its new estate a "sportswagon" and yet the very thing that impresses us about it is its lack of sporting pretensions. This is a perfectly good car, that five years ago, we'd have been shocked if you'd told us Kia would produce. But we can't also help feeling that some things have changed since that time - we're no longer in an age where a Cee'd drives nearly as well as a Focus and undercuts it by three grand. It still drives nearly as well as a Focus, but it's now the same price.
Perhaps its biggest problem is that there's no stand-out aspect which gives you a clear case for choosing one over said Focus - or indeed an Astra, Megane, i30 tourer and the rest, bar that seven-year warranty.
That's not us saying it's a bad car, more a way of hunting for a reason to justify your splashing the cash on one over the opposition, and failing. In the end, that long warranty, the impressive design, good tech kit count and well set up suspension all make it worth a look if you're keen on a family sized estate. Whether you'll buy one probably comes down to what badge you want on the front of your car or how close the dealer is.
Considering where Kia's come from, that it now stands toe-to-toe with the European mainstream is praise indeed. But whether you would prefer to have a Kia or a Ford on your drive is a decision we'll leave to you.

Taste Brazil!
Refreshing, exotic, healthy. Brazil has so much to offer in terms of culinary delights. The Eat Rio Food Tour will have your taste buds dancing the samba. A tip from purser Luigino Rotondaro
"Thanks to the Food Tour, I am now just as familiar with Brazilian cuisine as I am with our galley. The tour took me all across Rio. At every market and in every restaurant you are shown something new: Tacacá soup, sugar cane juice or acai berries. Every dish, every fruit – everything you are given is very special. The soup, for example, contains jambo leaves that numb the tongue slightly. And the berries are full of vitamins and anti-oxidants. These are so healthy that they are sold worldwide as miracle anti-ageing and diet ingredients. Bom apetite!"

Hi all,
I am try to use the hair (particle) system to cover a mesh with duplicates of a group of objects.
However, I cannot get the duplicates to align as expected.
I want all the duplicates to point to more or less the same direction as the left side of the image, but if I rotate my main object 90 degrees (Z-Axis), then all the duplicates will change their orientation as on the right side of the image (kind of circular).
My question is that, how can I control the orientation of duplicates as expected no matter how I orient my object?
a rendered image to show the duplicates' orientation

WTAE 4 supports "Bring Change 2 Mind"
Bring Change 2 Mind is a national anti-stigma campaign founded by Glenn Close, The Balanced Mind Foundation, Fountain House, and Garen & Shari Staglin of the International Mental Health Research Organization (IMHRO), aimed at removing misconceptions about mental illness. The idea was born out of a partnership between Glenn Close and Fountain House, where Glenn volunteered in order to learn more about mental illness, which both her sister, Jessie Close, and nephew, Calen Pick, live with.
One of the best ways you can help someone with mental illness is by understanding what it is — and what it isn't. After all, myths about mental illnesses contribute to stigma, which in turn prevents those who are living with one from seeking help. The fact is, a mental illness is a disorder of the brain — your body's most important organ — and 1 in 6 adults lives with a brain-related illness including depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD and schizophrenia.
Like most diseases of the body, mental illness has many causes — from genetics to other biological, environmental andsocial/cultural factors. And just as with most diseases, mental illnesses are no one's fault. The unusual behaviors associated with some illnesses are symptoms of the disease — not the cause.
But most importantly, mental illnesses are treatable through medication and psychosocial therapies — allowing those who suffer from them the opportunity to lead full and productive lives.
FICTION: People living with a mental illness are often violent.
FACT: Actually, the vast majority of people living with mental health conditions are no more violent than anyone else. People with mental illness are much more likely to be the victims of crime.
FICTION: Mental illness is a sign of weakness.
FACT: A mental illness is not caused by personal weakness — nor can it be cured by positive thinking or willpower — proper treatment is needed.
FICTION: Only military personnel who have been in combat can suffer from PTSD.
FACT: While PTSD is prevalent in men and women who have seen combat, experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event can trigger PTSD, including violent personal assaults such as rape or robbery, natural or human-caused disasters, or accidents.
FICTION: People with a mental illness will never get better.
FACT: For some people, a mental illness may be a lifelong condition, like diabetes. But as with diabetes, proper treatment enables many people with a mental illness to lead fulfilling and productive lives.
FICTION: Children don't suffer from mental illness.
FACT: Millions of children are affected by depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses. As a matter of fact, 1 in 10 children suffer from a diagnosable mental illness. Getting treatment is essential.
FICTION: "Mental illness can't affect me!"
FACT: Mental illness can affect anyone. While some illnesses have a genetic risk, mental illness can affect people of all ages, races and income levels, whether or not there is a family history.

The table includes the brand name, model and photograph of the product, a description of key features, star rating, and link to the Amazon site so that readers can check the price.
