Telematics car insurance is a car insurance product that uses a satellite based GPS unit to gather data on a driver's habits and skills. The unit is small and about the size of a smart mobile phone and is installed inside the dashboard of the car. Using the GPS tracking, which is extremely accurate, a car insurance provider can gather detailed data on the car's movement. It is much like the monitoring and data collecting that has been used for years with cargo fleets of companies to monitor the driving habits of their employed drivers.
Insurers noted that this same data could be used to determine the driving habits of insured drivers outside the fleet industry. By using the data they could better gauge the risk associated with insuring a driver. This could result in more accurate premium charges to drivers and could revolutionize the car insurance industry.
Telematics car insurance has developed into a very popular car insurance product and is well received by consumers. Young drivers have especially embraced this type of insurance as it takes them out of the high risk demographic of young, inexperienced drivers and lets the young driver establish their own history of safe driving resulting in lower car insurance products. Young drivers are traditionally saddled with the highest premium costs. Telematics has given them the opportunity to find savings and the ability to afford insurance to enable them to be on the road.
The wide and growing acceptance of telematics car insurance has brought new specialized car insurance providers into the market. Where there was once only one insurance provider offering this product there are now many and the number is constantly growing. Now established car insurance providers are developing their own unique branding of telematics car insurance in an attempt to enter this growing market.
Telematics car insurance may be the correct technical naming of the product but it has come to be known by many names such as black box car insurance, GPS car insurance, smart box car insurance, pay as you drive and usage based insurance. The names either reference the GPS unit itself which is usually a small black box that uses smart GPS technology or it references the trend of the insurance being a prepaid service.
The insurance is prepaid and drivers purchase a unit of miles. This addresses the concern that insurance providers have as to the more a driver is on the road and the more miles they cover the more opportunities there are for an accident. This helps a driver pay for the amount of miles they actually drive. If a driver runs out of miles then they can easily purchase more units of miles much like a consumer would purchase more minutes on a prepaid mobile phone. Most make these purchases of more miles online which is easy and quick to do at the convenience of the driver.
Along with the insurance being based on mileage driven in most cases the data gathered is used to determine the safe driving habits and skills of a driver. Data that could be collected and considered by an insurance provider to determine risk would be a driver's rate of speed, their habits at quick and rapid braking, taking corners quickly, and the hours a driver tends to be on the road. Insurance providers then give breaks in premium costs or they reward extra miles to a driver that exhibits good driving habits and to those that stay off the road at night time. Night time is the most likely time of the day for a car accident.
While the drivers most likely to see a substantial break in their premiums are those that are generally penalized by being in high risk demographic groups such as males or young drivers, there are others that could benefit as well. Anyone can find that they can save on an insurance policy and more accurately pay for their coverage by truly paying on a premium based on the miles they drive and their skills and habits as a driver. So while young drivers benefit the most from telematics car insurance by no means are they the only ones that can find it financially beneficial.
Another unique feature of the car insurance product is that the majority of the insurance providers offer the gathered data online for the driver to review. Through this review of their data they can keep up with the miles driven and when they will need to top up on miles. They can also determine what driving habits they can correct to save them more on their car insurance. For instance by staying off of the road between the hours of 11PM and 5AM a driver can save a lot on their insurance costs since this is such a high risk driving time according to statistics used by providers to determine risk in insuring a driver. The data is also very effective in helping young drivers determine if they should seek out further instruction in their driving skills and how they can correct their habits to become not only better drivers but in the course of doing so save money.
UK drivers have been experiencing increases in their car insurance policies and the telematics car insurance is allowing drivers to step out of the conventional way of paying for car insurance. Instead of paying for risk determined by statistics as to the customary behaviors of a particular group the driver fits in they are allowed to pay premiums based on their own needs, usage, and driving habits. Savings can amount to hundreds of pounds for most drivers. Telematics car insurance offers drivers much more control over their car insurance costs instead of them being dictated by statistics and out dated risk assessment.

Bikers begin descent on South Carolina resort for rallies
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina —This weekend is the kick-off for two motorcycle rallies held annually in the U.S. eastern seacoast town of Myrtle Beach. Enthusiasts this year are expected to meet or exceed the 170,000 bikers that arrived last year in droves to the small resort town of 23,000. Festivities span two weeks, and extend again this year into the Memorial Day.
Leading off is the week-long Harley rally, followed by the next week's BikeFest. In and around town, both day and night are punctured by the sounds of bike engines gunned and revved at stop lights and in parking lots. Groups of cycle riders dominate the streets.
"By Friday night, the front parking lot will be a full line of motorcycles to the corner." said motel owner Ranjan Patel. The Super 8 motel takes up half a block at its location in the heart of the downtown motel strip. "Both sides [of Ocean Blvd] are nothing but bikes." Both she and her co-owner husband agree, the influx of bikers dwarf in size the numbers of tourists who visit during regular summer months for ocean-side and family amusement park attractions.
The highly accesorised bikes, decked with chrome and polished to show it, flashed the townscape. Choppers made a showing, but road hogs dominated the ridership, often going twosome. Many rally goers arrived on the scene with SUV's or big pickup trucks towing cargo trailers loaded with cycles.
Growth in the sheer size of the two rallies led police to make changes in the handling of traffic flow. During BikeFest last year, the mostly black crowd that came in on the heels of the largely white Harley rally the week earlier, were faced with confusion when the two-lane Ocean Blvd was made one-way.
A branch of the NAACP in Conway, the next town over from Myrtle Beach, alleged discrimination by Horry County and Myrtle Beach Police. They claimed authorities and police used an overwhelming and aggressive police presence, combined with a restrictive one-way traffic pattern, to intimidate and discourage the participants in the rally.
An injunction was issued earlier this week by U.S. District Judge Terry Wooten, who ruled that bikers at both rallies be treated the same. Myrtle Beach city lawyers immediately filed an appeal to the ruling at the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, saying "the trial court erroneously determined that the plaintiffs would likely succeed on the merits; that is, that the city of Myrtle Beach intentionally treats Memorial Day weekend tourists differently from others similarly situated because of their race."
A plan to submit an opposition to the notice has already been announced by Michael Navarre, an attorney for Steptoe & Johnson, who represents the NAACP civil rights group. "We certainly don't think the judge has ruled erroneously," Navarre said, according to The Sun News.
Traffic control and safety measures were in full swing Friday morning on US-17. Both directions of the 4-lane divided highway south of Myrtle Beach had traffic cones and parking barriers set up to control traffic. Large flashing road signs on each side of the highway warned cars to use the passing lane. The warning sign flashed a message that the right lane was for motorcycle use only. Police monitored the pull-offs near a Harley dealer's lot where popular attractions were set-up in the immediate vicinity.

Education for a free nation

Issues with Florida SB 878 – Common Core Linked Data Warehouse Bill
Karen R. Effrem, MD – President, Education Liberty Watch
Executive Summary – SB 878 is a huge danger to the data privacy of Florida's children and their families for the following reasons:
1) It is being written to comply with the longitudinal data system requirements of the Stimulus bill in general, the Race to the Top grant program, and the No Child Left Behind waivers so that the state can receive funds, not on behalf of the students of Florida and their families.
2) According to the US. Department of Education, the Common Core related assessments will be assessing students on various psychological parameters, not just on academic issues, so that the assessment in Florida's K-20 Warehouse will definitely include psychological assessment data.
3) According to numerous sources, health and psychological data in education records covered by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) are not subject to the Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act (HIPPA) privacy protections.
4) The bill aligns Florida's data system with the National Center for Education Statistics National Data Model which contains hundreds of data items on each and every child in the state that include both academic and non- academic data, such as religious and political affiliations, mental health data, medical data, bus stop and bus route description, and even DNA sequence. The federal and state governments have no legal or constitutional right to this amount and detail of information on innocent American citizens, especially since it is being stored without parental consent.
5) Although the bill language strives to make it appear that privacy is protected by the various provisions that rely on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) passed by Congress to protect student privacy, the Obama administration's weakening of the law via regulation have created broad exceptions to the requirement to obtain parental consent before releasing individual data that many entities including a "contractor, consultant, volunteer, or other party..." Therefore, this very sensitive, private data will go to outside parties and many government entities without parental consent.
6) The bill combines the K-20 Data Warehouse with the Department of Economic Opportunity's Wage Record Interchange System so that all of your child's personal and private data will follow them not only throughout their academic careers, but throughout their work lives as well.
7) The U.S. Department of Education is being sued by the Electronic Privacy Information Center because it has so weakened the FERPA1 and parents, the PTA and the ACLU in states that are part of the inBloom database that already holds data on millions of children from nine different states2, are protesting to education officials seem poised to bring lawsuits in those states. Florida will be open to this kind of legal action if this bill becomes law.

Detailed Analysis -
1) This bill is required for Florida to receive Race to the Top grant funds.
From the Race to the Top regulations:3
Priority 4: Invitational Priority--Expansion and Adaptation of Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems.
The Secretary is particularly interested in applications in which the State plans to expand statewide longitudinal data systems to include or integrate data from special education programs, English language learner programs,\1\ early childhood programs, at-risk and dropout prevention programs, and school climate and culture programs, as well as information on student mobility, human resources (i.e., information on teachers, principals, and other staff), school finance, student health, postsecondary education, and other relevant areas, with the purpose of connecting and coordinating all parts of the system to allow important questions related to policy, practice, or overall effectiveness to be asked, answered, and incorporated into effective continuous improvement practices.
From Florida's Race to the Top application4:
The Governor or his/her authorized representative assures that the State will comply with all of the accountability, transparency, and reporting requirements that apply to the Race to the Top program, including the following:
For each year of the program, the State will submit a report to the Secretary, at such time and in such manner as the Secretary may require, that describes:
o the State's progress in reducing inequities in the distribution of highly qualified teachers, implementing a State longitudinal data system, and developing and implementing valid and reliable assessment...
2) The U.S. Department of Education admits that it will be important for the Common Core assessments to measure psychological parameters in what they describe as 21st Century Skills:
[A]s new assessment systems are developed to reflect the new standards in English language arts, mathematics, and science, significant attention will need to be given to the design of tasks and situations that call on students to apply a range of 21st century competencies that are relevant to each discipline. A sustained program of research and development will be required to create assessments that are capable of measuring cognitive, intrapersonal, and interpersonal skills.5 (Emphasis added)
Conclusion 10: There are important opportunities to leverage new and emerging advances in technology (e.g., educational data mining, affective computing, online resources, tools for teachers) to develop unprecedented approaches for a wide range of students.6 3 Race to the Top Announcement – Federal Register FR Doc E9-27427[Federal Register: November 18, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 221)]
http://www2.ed.gov/legislation/FedRegister/announcements/2009-4/111809c.html
4 Florida's Race to the Top Application – criteria to be fulfilled
http://www.fldoe.org/arra/pdf/topapp.pdf,
5 National Research Council 2012 Report on 21st Century Knowledge and Skills (NRC, 2012) as quoted in Nicole Shechtman – Promoting Grit, Tenacity, and Perseverance: Critical Factors for Success in the 21st Century - U.S. Department of Education,
Office of Educational Technology, Draft, February 2013,
http://www.ed.gov/edblogs/technology/files/2013/02/OET-Draft-Grit-
Report-2-17-13.pdf, p. 49 of pdf
6 Ibid p. 17 of pdf

Recommendation 10: Researchers should work closely with technology developers to continue
to explore how to integrate best practices into new and emerging digital learning environments that are well positioned to promote grit, tenacity, and perseverance, and key psychological resources (mindsets, learning strategies, and effortful control) for a range of purposes. (Emphasis added)7
3) According to expert clinical school psychologist Dr. Gary Thompson and the FERPA federal regulations and other sources, the HIPPA privacy protections for psychological and medical data do not apply to student records covered by FERPA.
"Protected health information EXCLUDES individually identifiable health information in education
records covered by the Family Education Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA), as amended 20 U.S.C. 1232 g."8
4) SB 878 aligns Florida's data system with the hundreds of data items including many that are non-academic in the
National Center for Education Statistics data elements list:
"To promote adoption of a common set of data elements identified by the National Center for Education Statistics to support the effective exchange of data within and across states. (Lines 115-117)"
The Data Elements from the NCES include9: Religious Affiliation
Bus Route, Bus Stop, and Arrival Time At Risk Status
Disease, Illness, or Health Condition Religious Affiliation
Voting Status
The U.S. regulations10 associated with the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) say that the definition of biometric data includes:
"Biometric record," as used in the definition of "personally identifiable information," means a record of one or more measurable biological or behavioral characteristics that can be
used for automated recognition of an individual. Examples include fingerprints; retina and iris patterns; voiceprints; DNA sequence; facial characteristics; and handwriting." (Emphasis added)
To think that the federal government or a private corporation would have access to this type of sensitive data should make everyone think long and hard about allowing this bill to pass.
5) SB 878 uses the phrase "organizations or authorized representatives" at least twelve times in the body of the bill. Because of the significant weakening of FERPA regulations11 that occurred in 2011, there are many people who have access to a student and their family's sensitive individually identifiable information described above. Here is the definition of authorized representative in the federal regulations:

10 Title 34: Education PART 99—FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY - § 99.3 What definitions apply to these regulations?
http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-
idx?c=ecfr&sid=11975031b82001bed902b3e73f33e604&rgn=div5&view=text&node=34:1.1.1.1.33&idno=34#34:1.1.1.1.33.1.132.3 11 Ibid.

"Authorized representative means any entity or individual designated by a State or local educational authority or an agency headed by an official listed in § 99.31(a)(3) to conduct—with respect to Federal- or State-supported education programs—any audit or evaluation, or any compliance or enforcement activity in connection with Federal legal requirements that relate to these programs."
Then, in the list of exceptions under which schools will release you and your family's sensitive personally identifiable information, it lists all of the parties that act as authorized representatives or school officials
§ 99.31 Under what conditions is prior consent not required to disclose information?12
(a) An educational agency or institution may disclose personally identifiable information from an education record of a student without the consent required by § 99.30 if the disclosure meets one or more of the following conditions:
(1)(i)(A) The disclosure is to other school officials, including teachers, within the agency or institution whom the agency or institution has determined to have legitimate educational interests.
(B) A contractor, consultant, volunteer, or other party to whom an agency or institution has outsourced institutional services or functions may be considered a school official under this paragraph provided that the outside party...(Emphasis added)
6) Lines 247-251 say, "The commissioner shall collaborate with the executive director of the Department of Economic Opportunity to develop procedures for the ability to tie student-level data to student and workforce outcome data contained in the Wage Record Interchange System." This means that all of your child's personal and private data will follow them not only throughout their academic careers, but throughout their work lives as well.
7) Although SB 878 does a good job of protecting data for the web portal that is available to the public by requiring the data to be "redacted or aggregated, or the confidentiality otherwise protected by de-identification, anonymization, or any combination thereof (Lines 272-274)," there is nowhere near that type of protection available in the "self-service, restricted access component of the K-20 data warehouse, called the "Research Engine" (Lines 275-6)." The problems with this include:
a) The system provides individually identifiable data, including all of the very personal data and more described above, without limitation of any kind (lines 295-297)
b) The data may be accessed at the "department's headquarters or by other secure means as agreed upon in writing by the parties (Lines 298-299)," which means that your child's data could be floating on the internet on lots of different servers. Once it is passed on, security is far from assured.
c) Even though the bill requires the researchers to make sure that their data request "falls within permissible uses authorized by FERPA and does not further a commercial, trade, or profit interest" (Lines 306-307), as explained above FERPA is so weakened, that any private company or potentially individual "volunteers" who may have an axe to grind, will be able to get hold of that data.
d) The written agreement requires the data requestor to list the "FERPA exception relied upon to obtain education records of students which may contain students' personally identifiable information (Lines 316-318)." However, as we have seen, FERPA has been so weakened that the list of exceptions is alarmingly large.
e) Even though there is a requirement to limit "the use of education records of students which contain students' personally identifiable information to meet only the purpose stated in the written
12 Title 34: Education PART 99—FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY - § 99.30 Under what conditions is prior consent required to disclose information?
idx?c=ecfr&sid=11975031b82001bed902b3e73f33e604&rgn=div5&view=text&node=34:1.1.1.1.33&idno=34#34:1.1.1.1.33.4.132.1
agreement (Lines 323-326)," the problem is that there are no limitations about what kind of data
and how they may be used in the written agreement.
f) Even though the bill requires prohibitions on access to this data by people not authorized in the
written agreement (Lines 330-334) there are not really any significant limitations about how the agreement is written in the first place and there is no limit to the number of people that may be allowed access in the written agreement.
g) Lines 398-405 state that entities wanting to do research under the regulations described by FERPA will have access to the data. As we have seen, because the exceptions listed in FERPA are so broad, there is little to no comfort provided to families seeking to prevent their children's data from falling into the hands of corporations and multiple government entities.
h) Lines 418-422 of the bill say, "Access to the Research Engine is not conditioned upon or limited to studies, audits, or evaluations that support the research agenda, interests, or priorities of the State Board of Education, the commissioner, or the department". This basically means that anyone that makes a request to the Department of Education combined with the broad exceptions now in FERPA will get access to your child's and family's private data.
i) Lines 423-428 list the authorized representatives who have access to the data "include the Executive Office of the Governor, the Florida Legislature, the Florida Auditor General, the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability, the Florida district school boards, Florida College System institutions, and Florida state universities or entities approved by the Department of Education." As we have seen with the FERPA exception, those entities approved by the Department of Education can include "contractors," "consultants," and "volunteers".

Q: How do I modify mesh attributes to send custom information in Blender? I have a mesh in 3DS format. I imported this mesh to blender and now, I want to export this mesh back to 3DS but, I want to associate a number (say id) with each vertex of this mesh. Now, I only need the x, y and z coordinates of this newly exported 3DS, and I don't really care about the normals or the texture coordinates.
So the way of keeping the IDs intact could be to insert that number in an un-required attribute, let's say the x coordinate of each vertex normal or the first texture coordinate of each vertex.
Here's what I tried with normals:
import bpy
import bmesh

object_reference = bpy.context.active_object
bm = bmesh.new()
bm.from_mesh(object_reference.data)

for vert in bm.verts:
    vert.normal[0] = vert.index

bm.to_mesh(object_reference.data)

But, the normals reverted back to default on export. So, how do I do this?
I couldn't figure out a way to set the texture coordinates, how can I do so? If I can't, then how can I make the vertex normal hack work? Is there a less-hacky way of doing this?

0one's Blueprints
0one's Blueprints: High Temple Complex
Publisher 01 Games
Stock Number BLU02
Welcome to 0one's Blueprints!
The Blueprints product line offers you old-fashioned blueprinted maps for using in your adventures and campaigns. For each map you get a blueprint version and a standard black-and-white version. The maps are all vector-based so you will get maximum print resolution. Despite their old-fashioned appearance, each map offers you a degree of customization by using the PDF technology at its best. A small control bar (which will not be printed) on each map allows you to turn on and off the grid, eliminate the room numbers, get the walls filled, and don't show doors and furniture.
Each product features a classic fantasy adventure location: a dungeon, a keep, a temple complex, a thieves' guild, and so on. You can use these maps as references to build your own adventures or simply take them at hand in case your players go in an unexpected direction during the campaign. While offering you the best quality, these products are really cheap.
High Temple Complex
Featuring more than 150 rooms at ground level, the High Temple is closer to a citadel than a temple. The massive complex features a large ziggurat and a detached chapel. Inside the temple there are large inner gardens and many shrines and chapels. A wall surrounds the whole complex, with many stairs reaching its top. The wall is not intended as a defense (there are no gates). There are three levels (ground, first, and roof level) and a dungeon level. Some hints to use the complex follow:
An evil cult stronghold, home of the high priest and his evil clergy who perform obscene rituals and human sacrifices.
A forgotten temple citadel, lost in a deep jungle, now inhabited by lizardfolk and other reptile races.
A ruined temple complex dedicated to a forgotten evil deity. During the night, evil sacrifices are performed.
The home of a good priest-king. The complex houses the noble families and their slaves.
Temple of the Dragon God: a powerful schemer dragon hides in the dungeon of the complex. His minions roam the countryside.

China's police state goes global, leaving refugees in fear
Muslims who escaped China's crackdown in Xinjiang still live in fear, saying new homes abroad and even Western passports afford them no protection against a state-driven global campaign of intimidation.
With menacing text and voice messages, and explicit threats to relatives still living in Xinjiang, China's powerful state security apparatus has extended its reach to Uighurs living in liberal democracies as far away as New Zealand and the United States, in a bid to silence activists and recruit informants.
The Communist Party's dragnet in Xinjiang has swept an estimated one million ethnic Uighurs and other mostly Muslim minorities into "vocational education centres" that numerous studies and reports have exposed as harsh internment camps.
File photo posted by the Xinjiang Judicial Administration to its WeChat account, April 2017, showing detainees at a camp in Lop county, Hotan prefecture, Xinjiang. Photo: RFA, Oct. 2, 2018; cf. WaybackMachine Internet Archive, April 17, 2017.
For those who managed to get out and settle overseas, the search for a true safe haven has remained elusive as they complain they and their families have been remotely harried and harassed to the point of desperation.
Guly Mahsut, who fled to Canada, says she became suicidal and was hospitalised after being bombarded with messages from Xinjiang police threatening her family in the troubled province.
"You should have been more cooperative. Don't become the source of misfortune for your relatives and family in Toksun. You should be more considerate of your family," read one message, allegedly from an official named "Kaysar".
The 37-year-old believes she was targeted because she spoke out against authorities online, and has helped stateless Uighurs seek help abroad.
She received messages from relatives — including her younger sister — pleading with her to "cooperate" with authorities.
Mahsut is one of more than a dozen Uighur exiles AFP interviewed across four continents that gave access to scores of text and voice messages — purportedly from Chinese security operatives — demanding their silence or cooperation.
Together they point to a systemic effort to infiltrate diaspora communities, recruit informants, sow mistrust and stifle criticism of the regime.
A barrage of messages
Shir Muhammad Hasan managed to get to Australia in 2017. Having secured refugee status, he thought he was safe.
This photo taken on July 6, 2019 shows 32-year-old Melbourne-based Uighur refugee Shir Muhammad Hasan displaying messages on his phone at his Melbourne home. Photo: William WEST / AFP.
Little more than a year later, the sinister messages began to arrive.
"I suppose your family already told you that I have been searching for you?" read the first.
More texts followed, in turn demanding the 32-year-old turn over dossiers about his life, and then came persistent requests to arrange a time to "get to know each other better."
"I told you to send me a brief introduction of yourself, but you didn't," the sender said in a local Uighur dialect, punctuated with a smattering of Mandarin Chinese, adding: "We should sit down and have a chat."
The barrage lasted six months and then abruptly stopped, leaving Hasan in turmoil — unsure if and when the torment will begin again.
AFP has no way of independently verifying who sent these or similar messages. They were sent using encrypted WhatsApp accounts and linked to inactive Hong Kong cell numbers or in some cases "ID spoofed" numbers that mask the source.
Hua Chunying. File Photo: Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Asked to respond to this report, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said accounts of Uighur exiles being intimidated were "groundless" and based on testimony from "professional critics" seeing to smear and slander China.
But many Uighurs abroad offer strikingly similar testimony: Their families in Xinjiang are approached, they then begin to send unusual questions or demands, before ultimately direct contact is made from suspected security officials via secure messaging services.
One Uighur man now living with his wife in the US said his family in Xinjiang were asked to "provide information about my school, status, how I was able to go overseas."
"When I asked them 'why do you need this information?' they told me that they need to fill some kind of form," he explained.
Other families in Xinjiang were asked for phone numbers of overseas relatives that allowed the assault of texts and phone messages to begin.
Network of informants
The harassment has had a devastating impact for many as they are shackled by fears for the fate of loved ones left behind if they do not comply.
Arslan Hidayat lives in Istanbul, which had opened its doors to fellow Turkic-speaking Muslims. He was not targeted directly, but nationalist trolls have bombarded his Facebook blog.

Australian-born, he wants to speak out, but older family members — including his mother-in-law, whose husband is in detention — believe silence will limit the authorities' wrath.
China's bid to create a network of informants has also sown mistrust and friction within Uighur communities abroad.
For much of the last decade, Uighur students who received a scholarship to study overseas were asked for a raft of sensitive information, and some believe they were effectively asked to become spies.
"When applying for the scholarship, the applicant has to fill in very detailed information about their family back in China, but also need to provide extensive information about their studies, life, and activities in the corresponding country," said one PhD student now living in Australia.
"One condition of the scholarship is that the recipient has to keep close contact with the Chinese Embassy and a contact person from the Xinjiang Education Bureau."
The student added: "It could be used to collect information about the applicants and their close friends in foreign soil, or even worse it's the salary of spies disguised as scholarship."
'We can find you'
According to James Leibold, an expert on ethnic relations in China and a professor at Melbourne's La Trobe University, the intimidation is systematic and methodical.
"The reach of the Chinese party-state now is far more extensive, and it has, in some regards, violated the sovereignty of countries across the globe, by interfering in the affairs of citizens of different countries," he warned.
File photo posted by the Xinjiang Judicial Administration to its WeChat account. File photo: Xinjiang Judicial Administration.
Leibold added Uighurs with overseas connections are seen as a potential security risk: "The best way to deal with that was to send them back to Xinjiang where they could be monitored or 're-educated'."
As for those who have moved overseas permanently, he said Beijing wants them "to stay quiet about this issue, not lobby politicians, not to speak with the media, not to cause trouble for the Chinese Embassy and consulates."
Similar actions overseas have been reported against Tibetans, political dissidents, Taiwanese activists, adherents of the spiritual group Falun Gong as well as Chinese students overseas.
The assault has led some Uighurs — even those with foreign nationality or permanent residency abroad — to believe nowhere is safe from China's police state.
In the past five years, Thailand and Egypt have rounded up Uighurs and sent them back to China. But even in open democracies such as New Zealand and Finland, the picture is bleak.
Shawudun Abdughupur fled to Auckland after witnessing inter-ethnic riots in July 2009 that left hundreds dead.
Despite now being a New Zealand citizen, he remains reluctant to speak publicly, fearing for himself and for his 78-year-old mother, who he believes is in a camp.
"I can't say too much," he told AFP, fighting back the tears in his first on-camera interview.
The 43-year-old added: "I don't know if the New Zealand government can protect me. How can they protect me?"
After he refused to give details of his meetings with other Uighurs, he received this chilling message: "We can find you. We are in New Zealand."
'I don't feel safe'
When Abdughupur reported the incident to the New Zealand police they treated it like any other nuisance call, referring him to the non-profit online safety organisation Netsafe, who then referred him back to law enforcement.
New Zealand police, like several of their counterparts worldwide, said they could not discuss the cases for privacy reasons.
Halmurat Uyghur, a 35-year-old who lives north of Helsinki, said he reported threatening messages to the Finnish police on several occasions but nothing changed.
"I don't feel safe, who knows what will happen next," he said.
One former senior US national security official confirmed the issue of China pursuing so-called "fugitives" abroad had been raised with Beijing "through law enforcement channels and also at the top level."
Current US officials acknowledged reports of Uighur intimidation in America but declined requests to comment on the record.
Ben Rhodes, who spent eight years as a senior national security aide during Barack Obama's presidency said democracies could mitigate some of China's actions but allies would need to "close ranks."
Beijing was "usually intransigent about things that they felt dealt with internal matters," he said.
He added: "The way to really deal with it would be for the United States to rally other countries to collectively stand up to the Chinese on this."

'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles': How They've Changed in 30 Years
Team behind new Michael Bay-produced movie look at the characters' past incarnations and get us up to speed on how they look now
By Nina Terrero
Updated August 08, 2014 at 09:00 PM EDT
Thirty years after their debut, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are bigger, fiercer, and tail-free—just in time for a new CG-heavy movie outing. From details on the advanced facial capture technology used to give the turtles their makeover to insight from the cast about stepping into their iconic roles, here's the scoop about the TMNT live-action reboot straight from director Jonathan Liebesman, special effects supervisor Pablo Helman, and stars Megan Fox and Will Arnett.
When the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made their comic-book debut in 1984, the subterranean vigilantes looked comically fierce with their chubby snouts, oversize protective pads, and ninja weapons. But in the 2014 TMNT movie, they're taller, heavier and darker. ''We looked at a ton of real-life skins and textures of different reptiles for inspiration,'' says Liebesman of his heroes' muted green shade.
Though the very first issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—released as part of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's 1984 comic Gobbledygook—looks menacing, the quartet (leader Leonardo, cut-up Michelangelo, rebel Raphael, and brainiac Donatello) have beefed up over the years. They now resemble a reptilian NFL team, a macho makeover in keeping with producer Michael Bay's bigger-is-better style. ''It's definitely more badass,'' says Liebesman, who last worked with Bay on 2011's Battle: Los Angeles.

Gone too are the cheesy grins from the Turtles' animated series (1987?96). ''The original Turtles had mouths that didn't articulate well,'' with huge teeth,'' notes Lucasfilm F/X supervisor Pablo Helman, who led a team of more than 350 artists to create the characters' new look.
The static expressions of this action figure are a thing of the past. Facial performance capture technology has been essential to larger-than-life films for more than a decade, dating back to Andy Serkis's performance of Gollum in 2001's The Lord of the Rings. But Helman's TMNT team created an advanced motion-capture helmet technology that allowed actors in character as the teenage turtles to convey a broader range of expression than ever before. ''It was really important that we capture the facial performances of the actors on set,'' explains Helman. ''This is a brand new thing—no project has had this.''
Here's how the new motion-capture helmet technology worked: two cameras extended from a helmet ''so we could track all the formation on their faces on 180 dots in 3-D spaces,'' says Helman. Roughly one terabyte of data a day was gathered and then the real work began. ''We had to put it all in the system, decode it?. And then the animators starting working with it and editing that data. It was the perfect combination of science and artistry.'' The technology is slightly more sophisticated than Konami's 1989 arcade game....
More than two decades after 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which relied mainly on puppetry to bring the foursome to life, the facial-capture technology in this TMNT was the most expensive part of the film, notes Helman. In fact, the visual effects veteran says that for his team, the cult reboot felt more like a ''year-and-a-half science project.''
One thing remains constant between the 1990 and 2014 films: The reptilian warriors—despite their chronological age of 30 years old—are still very much teenagers. ''Turtles are very late-maturing animals,'' Kate Mansfield, a marine biologist at the University of Central Florida. ''It's definitely possible to have this extended teenage period.''
Forget the high-tech tools: The turtles have always used ninja weapons, including during their short run in the 1997 live-action TV show Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. In addition to the quartet's trademark weapons—katanas, bo staffs and nunchucks—there will be ''tons of weapons'' in the 2014 movie, promises Liebesman. An added bonus? ''In the movie you'll see an entire weapon wall 60 feet high of almost every samurai weapon you can imagine.''
Megan Fox has long claimed to be a self-described ''nerd'' but unexpectedly upped the ante when it comes to her fan-girl obsession with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. ''I was really in love with them,'' confesses Fox, who stars as reporter April O'Neil (seen here, second from right, in 2007's Kevin Munroe-helmed animated fourquel TMNT). ''I have a sister who's 12 years older than me, so part of it initially was because I wanted to be like my big sister. It's a really cool project for me because it was a huge part of my childhood.''
The turtles weren't the only character to undergo a makeover. Fox's character April, who sported a trademark yellow jumpsuit through Turtles' history (including in the 2009 animated TV movie Turtles Forever). Fox's April wears a yellow jacket befitting the new leadership role she takes on in the PG-13 film. ''She's more of a leader when she explores her relationship with the turtles instead of just the human companion that gets dragged along on the adventure,'' says Fox of her revamped character. ''It's more representative of a modern woman.''
Will Arnett plays cameraman Vernon Fenwick in a version that's far less wimpy than in the original cartoon (so wimpy, perhaps that he doesn't even appear in Nickelodeon's 2012 cartoon above). ''It's not that he's wimpy,'' insists Arnett of April's sidekick. ''It's like listen, it's none of our business—let's not get killed over this.
Though there's no lack of action in the 2014 film, Arnett says he tried hard to stay true to the franchise's brand of geeky goof when providing comic relief. ''I wanted it to be authentic to the Turtles,'' he explains. ''I didn't want to stick out, like here comes a wise crack!''

The 2014 riff on Shredder (Tohoru Masamune) is slicier and dicier than ever before thanks to armor accessorized with a chilling array of knives. ''He's got a pretty huge blade fetish,'' says Liebesman. ''[His] blades are pretty amazing.''
