BuzzFeed's newest traffic driver: debate about the color of a dress

The original image is in the middle. At left, white-balanced as if the dress is white-gold. At right, white-balanced to blue-black.

If you were online on Thursday night, you know what happened: social media services were overrun with comments about the colors of a woman's dress. Some people saw black and blue; others saw white and gold.It was a debate tailor-made for BuzzFeed -- and in some ways made by BuzzFeed. By midnight Eastern time, the web site said the dress story was a record-breaker: "it drew more visitors to our site at one time than ever before."
The picture of the dress originated from a Tumblr post by a user named Swiked, who asked Tumblr users for help in figuring out the dress's true colors. Once BuzzFeed spotted the story on Tumblr, there was no stopping it.

Biology

My favorite class is bio. The teacher is Mr. Colarusso. He's a very smart man. When he was in 6th grade he skipped two grades and was put into 9th grade his 7th grade year. He is teaching Biology, Honors Biology, AP Biology, Biotechnology and Genetics. Not only is he an amazing teacher. He's also a magnificent person. He's sweet, has a good heart, and isn't mean. He's patient and considerate. When i first began his class i thought it was going to be an easy A. I thought I wouldn't really have to work. But he taught me to get the grades i want I'm going to have to work for it. And it's not going to be easy at all, but in the end it will be worth it. He just doesn't hand out grades. At the end of the marking period he does look for the lowest grade you have and he removes it helping you more.

Im more of a hands on learner. The great part about Mr.Col is that he teaches us from a smart board the book and also little projects. Like drawing posters of the pictures of stages in our book. We actually have a voice in this class. Not afraid that you might get yelled at if you speak up. We don't really use much technology in this class. Besides the smart board where he puts of information and notes up on. I believe he's such a great teacher i can't believe he even teaches in our school. He's so smart he should be teaching a college class. Here's a video about something we would learn in class.

Military spouses targeted in twisted ‘CyberCaliphate’ hack


CentcomHack.jpg

A group calling itself “Gasper CyberCaliphate Sadz” hacked the Military Spouses of Strength Twitter account on Tuesday morning, Military.com reports. The group replaced the account’s profile and sent threatening messages to the spouses using their full names.
The Twitter account was shut down following the twisted hack and was still suspended on Wednesday.
Military Spouses of Strength was set up in 2013 with the goal of improving mental health awareness in the U.S. military community.
The attack is the latest in a spate of hacks by apparent cyber jihadists. Newsweek’s Twitter account was hacked Tuesday morning by a group also describing itself as “CyberCaliphate.” The hackers briefly changed the @Newsweek profile picture and banner to an image of a masked man and the black standard that is the symbol of the terror organization ISIS. The profile also bore the message “Je suIS IS."
