By Lee GriffiThe Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) is encouraging residents to be aware of smart tracking devices and their potential misuse following reports of unidentified trackers on personal property and vehicles. At the same time, one of Canada’s leading tech gurus said the WRPS report shows the duality of the today’s technology. “It can save you the heartache of losing something by zeroing in on where it is, but at the same time, that very same technology can be used against an unwitting victim to identify when they may or may not be home,” said London-based Carmi Levy. Bluetooth tracking devices commonly help locate personal items such as keys, wallets, luggage and other valuables. Using Bluetooth technology and nearby mobile devices, these trackers can provide location updates and help owners recover misplaced property. While these devices offer many practical benefits, investigators have seen an increase in reports of tracking devices being placed on vehicles and personal belongings without the owner's knowledge or consent. “They can be misused to monitor an individual's movements and daily activities without their knowledge.

Charlie Vickers: ‘Tom Cruise cheated at freediving – that’s the headline’ - The Guardian
You once played Basil Fawlty in an amateur student production of Fawlty Towers at Queen’s College in Melbourne. How amateur was your Basil Fawlty moustache? It was terrible. It was real but it was definitely coloured in – I still have holes in my beard. I’d also shaved my head, so if you look at the early promo posters, you can clearly see I’m wearing a wig. Our theatre was closed so we had to perform in a circus tent in the middle of winter, on an oval in the university grounds, which was all very Fawlty Towers. I’ve always loved comedy. I didn’t really do anything serious until drama school. I always thought there might be a good spin-off with Sauron and Celebrimbor as an odd-couple situation. You play Sauron in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Tolkien wrote that Sauron “represents as near an approach to the wholly evil will as is possible”. What do you consider wholly evil? A complete disregard for the feelings and wellbeing of other people, to put it simply. It’s the intention, I think. I have horrible flashbacks to playing Aussie rules when I was about 17. I thought people were being quite evil to me at the time.
