In the summer of 2004, a young jihadist in shackles and chains was walked by his captors slowly into the Camp Bucca prison in southern Iraq. He was nervous as two American soldiers led him through three brightly-lit buildings and then a maze of wire corridors, into an open yard, where men with middle-distance stares, wearing brightly-coloured prison uniforms, stood back warily, watching him. “I kn

前十字靭帯の怪我を経験したのは、今回が二度目。この大きな試練を、大竹はどのようにして乗り越えたのか。 (C)SOCCER DIGEST 画像を見る J２の首位を独走する湘南ベルマーレに、頼もしい男が帰ってきた。背番号７番、身長166センチの小さなファンタジスタ、大竹洋平である。 いまから約９か月前のことだ。2013年11月３日の横浜F・マリノスとの練習試合で、大竹は右膝前十字靭帯を断裂。全治８か月の診断を突き付けられた。FC東京時代に左膝の前十字靱帯と内側半月板を損傷している大竹にとって、二度目の大怪我だった。前十字靭帯が切れている、そう知らされた時は、絶望しかなかったという。 それでもすぐに頭を切り替え、絶望のなかに一筋の光明を見出した。「一度、左足で復帰できた。今回も大丈夫だ」。大竹はこうして長いリハビリ生活に入っていったのだった。 チームの理学療法士で、リハビリに付き添った小川岳史氏
It has been an embarrassing week for security firm HBGary and its HBGary Federal offshoot.

Earlier that week, the top Tories fronting the leave campaign – Boris Johnson and Michael Gove – had dominated the news with promises to control the nation’s borders.

Thirty-one. That’s the number of months it took Palm, Inc. to go from the darling of International CES 2009 to a mere shadow of itself, a nearly anonymous division inside the HP machine without a hardware program and without the confidence of its owners.

The Inside Story of Oculus Rift and How Virtual Reality Became Reality
Oculus has found a way to make a headset that does more than just hang a big screen in front of your face. By combining stereoscopic 3-D, 360-degree visuals, and a wide field of view—along with a supersize dose of engineering and software magic—it hacks your visual cortex.

Earlier this year, a small team of engineers at Meta started working on an idea for a new app. It would have all the features people expect from a text-based conversations app, but with one very key, distinctive goal – being an app that would allow people to share their content across multiple platforms.
