I hate being tracked around the internet.
I do a search for something I’m thinking about buying or a service I’m considering using and, then, everywhere I go on the internet, I see ads for the last thing I searched for. I understand the concept behind it – the consumer was searching for something, so let’s give him more opportunities related to his search and separate some of his money from him.
Some web browsers have had a privacy mode that allows a user to browse the web without storing data locally that could be retrieved later, including disabling storage of data in cookies.
Until now, privacy mode was applied to the entire browsing session. After private browsing was selected, the current session would be saved and a new browsing session would open with all subsequently opened tabs and windows being private. When private browsing was exited, the private browsing session would close and the previous session would reopen.
Firefox 20.0 now gives the user the capability to open a new window in privacy mode without closing the browsing session.
Now, I can search the internet masked and still access everything else normally.
Stealth searching!
Standoff.

Feeling Unwelcome
Photo taken on March 28, 2013.
The National Elk Refuge’s Outdoor Recreation Planner witnessed a spectacular standoff between two juvenile mountain lions and five coyotes. The coyotes let the cats know they weren’t welcome in the area. The mountain lions sought safety on a buck and rail fence for over an hour while the coyotes lurked in the background.
The coyotes become more aggressive as one of the mountain lions moves down the fenceline.

Ocean Levels May Rise As World Gets Hotter
March 31, 2013
“The Mercury” Special Service
NEW YORK, Sun. — The world’s climate has become slowly warmer and there is a danger that the level of the oceans may be raised, causing serious inundations, as the result of melting of glaciers and polar ice-caps.
MR. I. TENNEHILL, chief of the reports and forecasts section for the United States Weather Bureau, says evidence of this weather change is becoming too impressive to be ignored.
Careful studies must be made of what is now happening.
Weathermen are unable to agree on the cause, but the rise in temperature has been going on for about 100 years.
In Boston (Washington) the average temperature was found to have risen between three and four degrees in that time.
Temperatures taken at 400 stations scattered around the world showed that in 18 out of 22 the year’s average temperatures were decidedly above normal.
Fish are reported to be moving farther north in oceans in the Northern Hemisphere.
Forests in Alaska are growing farther north.
Most of the world’s glaciers are melting faster.
In the State of Iowa the length of the growing season has increased by 20 days in the past 40 years.
