Intelligence showed that militants connected with stanley cup Islamic State were planning to behead a member of the public in Australia, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on Thursday after hundreds of police raided homes in a sweeping cou stanley cup nter-terrorism operation. Abbott said there was a serious risk from a terrorist attack days after Australia raised its national terror threat level to high for the first time. The heightened alert cited the likelihood of attacks by Australians radicalised in Iraq or Syria. Australia, which is due to host the Group of 20 Leaders Summit in Brisbane in mid-November, is concerned over the number of its citizens it believes are fighting overseas with Islamist militant groups. Treasurer Joe Hockey insisted that the necessary precautions had been put in place for the G2 stanley cup 0 Leaders Summit. He dismissed concerns the raids could disrupt a meeting of G20 finance ministers this weekend in the tropical northern city of Cairns.

Dumbfou adidas samba nded at the thought of parking your car in a small space Don t worry, now scientists have developed salomon a mathematical formula that will help motorists park perfectly. HT Image The formula, developed by Prof Blackburn from the University of London s Royal Holloway College, begins by using the radiu air max s of a car s turning circle and the distance between the vehicle s front and back wheels. Then, using the length of the car s nose and the width of an adjacent car the formula can tell exactly how big a space needs to be for your car to fit. By applying this to basic parking guidelines, one can work out exactly when to turn the steering wheel to slide in perfectly, The Telegraph reported. Parking the car is something that most of us do on a daily basis 鈥?and we all get a little frustrated with it sometimes, said Prof Blackburn. This was the perfect opportunity to show how we can apply mathematics to understanding something that we all share. The formula and our advice can help people understand what good parallel parking involves. If you understand the angles and the dimensions of your own car then you can work out how to park in a nice, confident way. The formula was released after a survey by car giant Vauxhall Motors showed 57 per cent lacked confidence in their parking ability and 32 per cent would rather drive further from their destination or to a more expensive car park, purely to avoid manoeuvring into a small space.
