Superbad is a 2007 American comedy film directed by Greg Mottola and starring Jonah Hill and Michael Cera. The film was written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who began working on the script when they were both thirteen years old; they completed a draft by the time they were fifteen.[2] The film's main characters have the same given names as Rogen and Goldberg. The film was one of a string of hits by Judd Apatow.
It is two weeks before the end of high school. Evan (Michael Cera) and Seth (Jonah Hill) are long-time friends in their senior year of high school, about to leave for different colleges. Their mutual friend, Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), has plans to acquire a fake ID, so Seth agrees to buy alcohol for a party for his crush, Jules (Emma Stone), is hosting. Evan also offers to buy Goldslick vodka for his long-time crush Becca (Martha MacIsaac).
While purchasing the alcohol Fogell is assaulted by a hooded robber, and the police soon arrive. The two officers, Michaels (Seth Rogen) and Slater (Bill Hader), appear to be fooled by the fake ID (which has the single name "McLovin" as his identity) and offer Fogell a lift to the party. On the way, however, they make numerous stops. The officers display many instances of inappropriate use of police powers, including stealing beers, drinking on the job, unnecessary use of police lights, and improper use of their firearms.
While the police officers are talking to Fogell at the liquor store, Evan and Seth make the assumption that Fogell has been arrested. Seth is suddenly hit by a car, but seems uninjured. To avoid being reported, the driver, Francis (Joe Lo Truglio), agrees to take them to a party, where they reason they can steal the alcohol they need. However, Francis is not welcome at the party and is subsequently assaulted by the host (Kevin Corrigan), and Seth and Evan are forced to leave, but not before smuggling out green beer in laundry detergent bottles. They happen upon Slater, Michaels, and Fogell in the police car. Officer Slater prepares to arrest the teens but Evan runs off and the two officers chase him while the reunited Seth and Fogell make off with the rest of the alcohol. The trio eventually make it to the party.
At the party, a drunken Becca offers to perform oral sex on Evan in a secluded upstairs room, but Evan declines with the excuse that she is too drunk, and a heavily intoxicated Becca ends up vomiting. A drunken Seth tries to kiss Jules, who explains that she does not drink and does not want to do anything while he is intoxicated. Seth attempts to express his feelings for Jules, but passes out from the alcohol and accidentally head-butts her, giving her a black eye. Fogell successfully seduces Nicola (Aviva Farber) and gets her into bed, only to have officers Slater and Michaels break up the party after only a few seconds of sex. Officers Slater and Michaels reveal to Fogell that they were aware of his fake ID all along, and decided to ignore it since they saw a bit of themselves in Fogell, who asks them a favor in return for their intrusion upon his love making. So, they pretend to haul him off to jail in front of the entire party to boost his popularity. In return, Fogell signs an affidavit to a concocted story to explain the condition of the wrecked police car which they proceed to have fun destroying. Meanwhile, Seth carries Evan away to safety from the police officers. At Evan's house Seth reveals his brotherly love for Evan, who then reveals the feelings are mutual.
The following morning, Evan and Seth run into Becca and Jules at the mall. After an awkward conversation about the mistakes of the previous night, Seth takes Jules to get cover up for her eye, while Evan and Becca go off to look for some comforters.
According to Box Office Mojo, the film opened at number one at the United States box office, grossing $33,052,411 in its opening weekend in 2,948 theaters with an average of $11,212 per theater.[3] The film stayed at #1 the second week, grossing $18,044,369.[3] The film has grossed an estimated $121,463,226 in the United States and Canada, and $48,408,493 in other territories, for a total of $169,871,719 worldwide. Compared to the relatively small budget of $20 million, the film earned a massive financial profit.[1] The film is the highest domestic grossing high school comedy of all time.[4]
As of January 24, 2010, the film-critics aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes listed 87 percent positive reviews based on 195 reviews (170 "fresh", 25 "rotten") with the consensus that it was "an authentic take on the awkwardness of the high school experience[5] It also has an 87 percent "Cream Of The Crop" rating.[6] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 76% based on 36 reviews.[7]
Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle called it 2007's most successful comedy. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 1/2 stars (out of 4) and said "The movie reminded me a little of National Lampoon's Animal House, except that it's more mature, as all movies are."[8] Carina Chocano of the Los Angeles Times said "Physically, Hill and Cera recall the classic comic duos — Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Aykroyd and Belushi. But they are contemporary kids, sophisticated and sensitive to nuance"; she added, "I hope it's not damning the movie with the wrong kind of praise to say that for a film so deliriously smutty, Superbad is supercute".[9] Sean Burns of Philadelphia Weekly said "2007: the year Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen saved movie comedy", a reference to Knocked Up which was released in June.[10] Devin Gordon of Newsweek said "As a Revenge of the Nerds redux, Superbad isn't perfect. But it's super close."[11]
Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter, conversely, compared the film to the similar single-day structure of American Graffiti and Dazed and Confused, but that "it doesn't have the smarts or the depths of those ensemble comedies".[12] The Hollywood Reporter review was referenced in the film's DVD audio commentary, particularly the review's suggestion that the two main characters have a homoerotic experience similar to the film Y Tu Mama Tambien.[13] Adam Graham of The Detroit News said, "the cops belong in a bad Police Academy sequel, not this movie", and also that the film "falls short of teen-classic status."[14] Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel called the film "super-derivative", "super-raunchy", and "Freaks and Geeks: Uncensored". Moore went on to say the film shamelessly plagiarizes from films such as Can't Hardly Wait and American Graffiti. He also said, "Like Knocked Up, this is a comedy they don't know how to end. The energy flags as it overstays its welcome." Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe said the film "has a degree more sophistication than Revenge of the Nerds and American Pie, and less than the underrated House Party". Morris also said, "the few smart observations could have come from an episode of one of Apatow's TV shows" and "I wanted to find this as funny as audiences did".[15]
Two tie-in books to the film were published by Newmarket Press:
Superbad: The Illustrated Moviebook was published on December 4, 2007 to coincide with the release of the film on DVD. This official companion book includes: an introduction by producer Judd Apatow; the complete script by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg; commentaries by Apatow, Rogen and Goldberg, and journalists from Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and Entertainment Weekly; 56 film stills; "Mr. Vagtastic Guide to Buying Porn;" and 24 "phallographic" drawings by David Goldberg that viewers will recognize from the film's end credits.
Superbad: The Drawings was published on February 14, 2008. This gift hardcover art book contains 82 "phallographic" drawings created by David Goldberg (Evan Goldberg's brother) for the film.

On a scorching day in January, the only thing hotter than the afternoon sun is the fiery shouts emanating from the local mosque. Hundreds of villagers have gathered there to speak with the mediation team sent by the government to help settle a dispute between Riau Andalan Pulp & Paper (RAPP) and villagers who want to force the company off Pulau Padang, a small island near Sumatra. "We reject RAPP," a villager screams out to the crowd. "They are thieves that have come to rob our island."
The tensions building in this corner of Riau province are not unusual in today's Indonesia, a country abundant in timber, coal and palm oil. With strong global commodity prices, the drive to exploit these natural resources is greater than ever. But, in many communities, so are calls for resistance. From Pulau Padang and Mesuji in the west to Bima and Timika in eastern Indonesia, anger has often erupted over local and multinational resource-based companies operating in communities who feel their rights are routinely obscured by murky regulations, poor governance and heavy-handed security forces. At the same time companies like RAPP point to the arduous process of obtaining licenses and how this particular concession took five years to negotiate. With so little clarity and so much overlapping authority, it is little wonder that conflict persists.
What stands out in the current battle is the tactics being used to draw attention to the conflict. In December 2011, 28 protesters sewed their mouths shut in front of the parliament building in Jakarta and later threatened to blow themselves up if forcibly removed. In response, on Jan. 3, the Forestry Minister ordered a temporary suspension of RAPP's operations pending the team's nonbinding recommendations on how to resolve the conflict. As the team conducts interviews with villagers, including those believed to be in favor of RAPP operations on the island, a meeting of the minds appears unlikely. "We remain open to dialogue," states Tony Wenas, RAPP's president commissioner.
RAPP, a member of Asia Pacific Resources International Ltd. (APRIL), one of the largest pulp-and-paper producers in the world, was granted a concession of some 41,000 of the island's 110,000 hectares. While the heads of 11 of the island's 14 villages signed an agreement in support of RAPP last year, locals from the three villages against the concession say the company threatens not only their livelihoods as rubber and sago farmers but also the existence of the island itself. "We have worked in and lived off the forests for generations and done fine without RAPP," explains Tame Herman, a member of the Akit tribe who personally opposes the concession although his village, Teluk Belitung, is said to be in favor. "We don't want them or need them, and we are not afraid to die for our land."
Local officials say they will follow whatever order comes from the Forestry Minister, who has the power to revoke the license but does not believe the environmental fears are justified. "People are afraid the island will slowly be eaten away by erosion and then sink," explains Maman Murod, a local forestry official from the Meranti Islands district with jurisdiction over Pulau Padang. "It won't sink." He criticizes the intransigence of the protesters who want the license revoked. "[The company has] done everything by the book," he adds. "They're not here to enrich themselves but also to improve the lives of the people."
Unsurprisingly, that sentiment is shared by RAPP, which directly employs 500 locals and 17 local contracting firms to support its work. "By helping us ... it will benefit them as well," Wenas tells TIME. "They know our presence can make a better living for them." Not everyone agrees, though, particularly since the APRIL conglomerate has been accused of deforesting and polluting other parts of Sumatra, including to the north where its PT Inti Indorayon Utama (now PT Toba Pulp Lestari) faced massive protests in the 1990s. "The situation at Pulau Padang today is very different from Indorayon in the late '90s," Wenas says in response. "The way in which the [current] issues have been dealt with to date has reflected a more measured, matured approach on all sides."
The Indonesian pulp industry is dominated by APRIL and Asia Pulp & Paper, which control 75% of pulp capacity in the country, according to the Center for International Forestry Research's 2008 report on Indonesia's pulp industry. Demand has been increasing dramatically every year and is up 700% since 1990. "Forest loss has been particularly heavy in Riau, which has lost 65% of forest cover in 25 years from pulp, oil palm and other drivers," states the report. "Since late 1980s, Indonesia's pulp industry has been responsible for natural forest clearing of at least 1.7 million hectares."
Indonesian companies are not the only ones dealing with land issues. Foreign firms also cite land problems as a major obstacle to investing in the country, though it appears to be a risk most are willing to take. A whopping $19.28 billion of foreign direct investment poured into the country in 2011, up 18% from the previous year. In that same period, the National Land Agency recorded 2,791 disputes while the National Commission on Human Rights received 4,502 complaints of rights abuses, with 738 stemming from land disputes.
Indonesia's investment czar and Trade Minister, Gita Wirjawan, pointed to the case of South Korea's POSCO group, which invested $6 billion last year despite the prospect of a land dispute in Cilegon, West Java. "They were willing to take a risk before things actually got fixed, but that's the nature of the beast," recounted the minister at a recent event with foreign journalists. "That doesn't mean we don't have to fix things," he added. "We have to show that we enforce rules and regulations properly."

We use aerial imagery to help companies monitor inventory of their booming yards. Counting log bundles from aerial imagery saves time and money. It also provides excellent documentation that can be shared and reviewed in the office or field. Bundles can be counted by species and sort identified. We offer a combination of high resolution maps, still photos, and video to ensure the job is done right.
Digital Documentation
High resolution maps can be used to inventory log bundles. Managers can annotate on the maps to record data and share it with all stakeholders involved in the operation. In this map, the log bundles to the south and east have been counted and recorded. To the north, the number of boom sticks in in each pen has been documented.
Determine Species and Sort
We can capture images within meters of the logs to capture every detail. Species of the logs can be recorded, as well as the sort. The bundles in the photo are a mix of Douglas Fir, Hemlock, and Cedar. The logs have not been sorted and are different species, diameters, and lengths. This imagery makes it easy to see, record, and share data.
Booming Ground Videos
Videos allow the manager to see the booming grounds from a variety of heights and angles to collect greater data and verify what was seen in the maps and photos. Videos can be paused or re-watched to assess the scene in greater detail. This video is a short clip of two separate areas with second growth logs.
Our trained pilots are also RPFs. Making the right decisions by having the best data is the foundation for good forest management.

Paul Farris from Photo Genius shares some tips on capturing movement and why blurry photos can actually be ok.
I recently attended an evening Criterium race in Cleveland (on the Brisbane bayside) which is a bike event (sometimes called a crit) consisting of a set number of laps around a closed circuit. The pace of the racing is fast and furious and I couldn't resist the opportunity to grab some photos.
Whilst packing my gear I decided to travel light and settled for a Canon 80D and standard kit lens 18-55mm. I also opted to leave my external flash behind as I considered flash might be distracting and potentially dangerous for the riders.
One of my favourite techniques when shooting sports is the panning technique which is often employed by pro sports photographers, particularly when covering motor sports, cycling and other fast paced events. Done correctly, the panning technique should yield an image where the subject is acceptable sharp and in focus whilst the background is blurry, thus giving a sense of movement, speed and direction.
By the time the racing began the sun was setting and the light was fading fast, there were some floodlighting in the key areas so my first job was to walk the circuit and find some good vantage points where I had a clear and unobstructed view of the action as well as some light to work with. I began by selecting the AI-Servo mode (AFC or CAF on most other cameras) which is a focus mode designed for photographing moving subjects, I then selected a single focus point in the centre of the viewfinder and turned on the continuous shooting mode. With focus set up I opted to use shutter priority mode (Tv for Canon, S for Nikon and most other cameras) as this would enable me to select the shutter speed that I needed and the camera would look after the aperture. I started with a shutter speed of 1/60 second, bumped the ISO up a little to ISO400 and fired off some test shots, with the exposure looking good I was now all set and ready to go.
The key to a great pan is to move the camera with the subject as smoothly as possible, not too fast, not too slow and not jerky, it's a particularly tricky thing to master and can also be very hit and miss as not only is the speed of the subject often unpredictable, but the selected shutter speed that may be ideal for one rider may be too fast or slow for the next.
When photographing cyclists I usually start with a shutter speed of 1/60 of a second and work from there, the shutter speed needs to be slow enough to ensure the background blurs during panning but not too slow as to make the subject blur, after a few tries I found that a shutter speed of 1/60 – 1/80 second was working for me but did experiment with a some longer exposures for even more blur, one of them I've featured on this page was shot at just 1/15 second and is probably my personal favourite from the evening.
So remember, slowing the shutter down and capturing blur can be fun and can be great way of emphasising movement – and there are no set rules, experiment and have fun with slower shutter speeds.
Interested in learning more? The panning technique is one of the many things you can learn during our Photo Genius 'Beyond the Basics' photography workshop in Brisbane.

In case it's not clear in my review of the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, I did enjoy it. The event's crowd control was nonexistent and the AV was inadequate, so my group opted to watch it from the cozy confines of Elephant & Castle on nearby Pennsylvania Avenue. The pub had all of the energy of the Mall, but with better seating and refreshments.
"We live now in hard times, not end times", declared Jon Stewart to an overflowing crowd of some 200,000 ironic-sign-toting fans on the National Mall in Washington, DC. "We can have animus and not be enemies."
Stewart, the smart and popular host of "The Daily Show", a satirical news programme, was addressing the many who had come for his October 30th "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear", which he co-hosted with Stephen Colbert, the star of the faux conservative spin-off show, "The Colbert Report". But despite such a grand assembly ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections, the event was surprisingly apolitical. After hours of entertainingly neglecting the concerns held by most voters, Stewart finally turned serious. His target? The media.
"The country's 24-hour political pundit perpetual panic conflictinator did not cause our problems. But its existence makes solving them that much harder," he announced.
Amid Stewart's scorn for punditry, he managed to squander an opportunity to address the problems he claims the media spin-cycle distorts. The result was a "Rally to Shift the Blame", laments David Carr of the New York Times, who went on to write that "media bias and hyperbole seem like pretty small targets when unemployment is near 10 percent, vast amounts of unregulated cash are being spent in the election's closing days, and no American governing institution—not the Senate, not the House of Representatives, not even the Supreme Court—seems to be above petty partisan bickering." In a rally dedicated to restoring sanity, Stewart let himself be distracted by a symptom instead of a root cause of America's current bout of manic depression.
As someone hosting a rally of hundreds of thousands of people in the nation's capital, Stewart had the platform and even the obligation to say more than he did.

Jamie Squillare says she got a job on the series, 90210, by agreeing to have sex with a supervisor. But what happened next is what has triggered a new lawsuit against CBS Studios, 90210 Productions, Michael Sunga and others.
Squillare is listed in credits as the show's set dresser. Sunga was the show's leadman, a member of the art department responsible for props and other set dressers. Together, they allegedly had some sort of relationship, but Squillare says she wasn't happy with the arrangement.
According to the complaint, after she was hired, Sunga "reminded her of their quid pro quo arrangement, and threatened to fire her unless she paid him $10,000, which comprised her first month's wages at 90210."
PHOTOS: Top 10 Legal Disclaimers in Hollywood
Squillare says she wrote him two checks.
"Almost immediately after Ms. Squillare started working at 90210, Mr. Sunga threatened to terminate her employment unless she agreed to be his girlfriend," says the lawsuit.
"Ms. Squillare initially resisted, but in response to Mr. Sunga's constant threats, eventually obliged," it continues. "Thus, the term of Ms. Squillare's employment was expressly or impliedly conditioned upon her acceptance of her supervisor's unwelcome advances."
The plaintiff then details how Sunga "flaunted" their relationship in public, sent "inappropriate text messages," demanded money from her, asked if he could spend Christmas with her family, and so forth. She also says the defendant "invited her to participate in acts of payroll fraud and corporate theft by paying for her personal items using CBS Studios' funds."
After six months, Squillare says she expressed "disinterest in pursuing a romantic relationship with him," and combined with an alleged unwillingness to engage in "various illegal schemes," he allegedly began retaliating, putting her in the "penalty box" by refusing to allow her to leave work at the same time as other employees. He is also said to have spread the rumor that she gave him an STD and "threatened to blackball her from ever working in California again."

Squillare says she was eventually fired on January 1, 2013. She's now suing for a hostile work environment, retaliation, failure to prevent discrimination, wrongful termination, failure to pay wages and other causes of action. She's says the production companies were made aware of the harassment but did nothing to stop it.
CBS said in a statement, "We were just made aware of these allegations, therefore it is premature for us to comment at this time."
Sunga couldn't be contacted.

As social media networks grow in numbers, so do new ways of reaching potential qualified job candidates, and Talentwunder is taking advantage of this trend. A runner up in the HR Tech Startup Competition, Talentwunder is a social recruiting tool that helps employers find and hire the best talent worldwide. Talentwunder CEO, Andreas Dittes, explains that the recruitment process is missing a core competitive advantage at the moment – finding the right talent at the right time. So Talentwunder seeks to address this by connecting recruiters to 1.6 billion profiles across 53 social media networks and by using predictive analytics and social signals to predict a candidate's willingness to change job. The startup's technology helps recruiters find in-demand talent in sectors like IT and Engineering both fast and accurately.
Although the exposure is invaluable, Andreas tells me Talentwunder are participating in the HR Tech World Startup Competition due to their interest in seeing what new trends and technologies are emerging. The competition is one of the best places to do that and it's a chance to be alongside fellow new and innovative companies.
While other solutions offer AI to quicken the process of talent sourcing, Talentwunder highlights the significance of another aspect. Talentwunder believes it's important to have an engaging employer brand, personalised outreach (when you can) and to know where your company is headed. It's remembering the communication is between a unique and individual company and a single person, who will have different talents, traits and needs to others. Nevertheless, Talentwunder is focussed on strengthening their predictive analytics and matching functions, which include machine learning and AI, for the future, as well as their candidate database.
But what is the ROI for businesses? Andreas tells me Talentwunder reduces the time taken to hire candidates by aggregating 1.6 billion profiles from over 50 networks in its tool. Talentwunder also has highly accurate matching with unique filters, which help organisations see which candidates are more likely to accept an offer or even relocate.

So you've got the wraps…. how'd you fit them?!
Luckily… its fairly easy. We will get a video up at some point but until then, follow these steps:
1) You need a clean arrow – try to get all the grease, grime and any old glue off of the shaft. Anything left will show through and interfere with the wraps adhesion.
2) Find a softish surface, a mouse mat is ideal. The slight give in the surface acts as a squeegee leaving the wrap smooth and air bubble free.
3) Carefully peel off a wrap, noting which end is which and lay it down sticky side up on the mouse mat. Try to touch as little as possible of the glued side as you can. Note which way around you need to wrap – often our wraps need to be put on in a certain direction due to the design, you don't want something under the overlap!
4) Line up your arrow up next to the wrap, close but not touching, look directly down from above and make sure the end of the wrap is at the end of the shaft.
5) Gently start to roll the arrow shaft towards the wrap, pushing down gently.
6) Once the start of the wrap become visible on the arrow shaft, pause and run your finger along it to make sure its stuck down well.
7) Continue rolling until the wrap is completely on the shaft, again pause and run your finger down the overlap – finishing the wrap.
What Glue? (For the fletchings… the wraps are self adhesive…)
We're often asked this – ultimately it depends what you get on with best. We use AAE Fast Set Gel – comes in small tubes. It sets fast, small nozzle to control flow and sets hard. (Sets hard on your fingers as well… it's essentially Super Glue/Krazy Glue – don't "Kragglize" yourself!)
Wraps are tough, but they aren't indestructible… glue and solvents can interfere with the pigments used, fast Set Gel will, for instance strip the colour, so be careful what you do with any overflow of glue – avoid simply wiping it off – best to use just enough, not too much! *always read the label, use in a well ventilated area, etc etc*

Protect Your Back From Injury When Lifting Weights
Do you feel tired all day long? Is it difficult for you to complete tasks your peers seem to have no problems with? Are you fat and want to change that? Weight training is the answer to any of these issues; read this article to discover the best way to start.
Be sure that you complete the necessary amount of research on how to build muscles properly. Different exercises target different things; some may work on muscle building or toning. Make sure you are using muscle building techniques and have a wide variety of exercises to work on the different muscle groups.
When muscle building, be sure to have a lot of protein. Muscles are made from protein, meaning you need to keep levels high so they can rebuild. If you don't get enough of it, your body is going to have a hard time developing muscle mass. You should try to eat lean proteins at least 4 times, but preferably five times each day. Two of your meals and two of your snacks should contain lean proteins, with an extra serving of it in a third meal when possible.
It is important to eat healthy on the days you exercise. Consume more calories about an hour before you are going to exercise. Do not sabotage your efforts by binge-eating on your workout days. Instead, just increase your caloric intake more than your consumption on your off days.
Always do compound exercises so you can have the most muscle growth possible. These types of exercises utilize many different muscle groups in one lift. One popular example of a compound exercise is bench pressing. This exercise works three muscle groups at once: the triceps, shoulders, and chest.
Create the illusion that your body is larger than it is. Build up your upper chest, back and shoulders through targeted exercise. Bulking up this way makes your waist look smaller, and it can make you look larger overall.
Try training your opposing muscles in a single workout, such as your chest with your back, or your hamstrings with your quads. Doing so will allow one muscle to rest while you are working a different one. This will allow you to bump up your workout intensity and you won't have to be in the gym as long.
Drink plenty of water when you are trying to build muscle mass. When you are poorly hydrated, you increase your chances of getting injured. Furthermore, hydration is vital to the process of building and keeping muscle mass, and therefore plays multiple roles.
Make sure you're getting enough calories. There are many online calculators that will help you estimate the number of calories you need to eat each day to gain the desired amount of muscle. Take advantage of one of these tools, and use it to tweak your diet so that it includes optimal amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and other nutrients that will increase your muscle mass.
Know where your limit is, and push yourself to it. On every set, work your muscles until exhaustion, meaning unable to do another rep. When necessary, shorten your sets if you get too fatigued.
Getting just the right calorie intake will significantly affect your muscle building results. Be aware that there are good calories and bad calories; incorporate more good protein calories and eliminate bad fat calories. Consuming a poor dietary regimen builds fat instead of muscle.
Building muscle changes every facet of your life. It raises your energy level, which means you will be able to do things you did not think were possible and keep your weight down. While building muscle is simple, it takes using the tips in this article to truly succeed, so use what you've learned and reach for the stars!

The Romajinator was tool I made for converting Japanese Katakana into romaji, i.e., roman characters. I've recently updated it so that it can also convert Hiragana into romaji. Any serious student of Japanese will have no more problems reading hiragana or katakana than a student of Chinese would have reading pinyin.
It's mostly just for fun, but for people living in China or other countries in Asia, it might be useful.
さむらい -> samurai にんじゃ -> ninja いちご -> ichigo -> strawberry いぬ -> inu -> dog
In general, romaji vowels are pronounced fairly similarly to pinyin vowels. The big exception is the "e", which sounds a bit closer to a "short e" in English. The "o" sounds somewhat like an English "long o". Vowels with a macron bar over them are voiced for a longer period of time. Doubled consonants represent a pause before the consonant. For example "kippu" would sound like "key", followed by a pause, and then "poo".
The above is obviously a very rough explanation. For a more pronunciation guide, I recommend the Wikimedia Commons: Japanese pronunciation page.

Have you ever tried baking with peanut flour? I was sent some by Sukrin to do some recipe experimenting with and the first thing that came to mind was "COOKIES!". Peanut flour is made in the same way as almond flour, except Sukrin's flours are fat-reduced by removing some of the oils, making it low fat, low carb, low sugar, high fibre, high protein and pretty much just perfect. So that's a good reason to use peanut flour over peanut butter in baking. However, I still love, and always will love peanut butter!
In this recipe, I mixed the peanut flour with some almond flour /ground almonds as I didn't want an overpowering taste and also didn't want the cookies to be too dark. This way you get the perfect texture, colour and flavour.
Keep an eye out for my full Sukrin review + a UK giveaway coming soon!
Low Carb Peanut Chocolate Chip Cookies
These delicious, nutty, chocolatey cookies are free from grains, gluten, dairy, eggs and sugar!
- 100 g / 1 cup peanut flour
- 100 g / 1 cup almond flour, or ground almonds
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 100 g sukrin gold or other sugar substitute
- 60 ml / 1/4 cup vegetable or coconut oil
- 60 ml / 1/4 cup almond milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 80 g / 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 170c / 340f and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Stir together the peanut flour, almond flour, bicarb and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the oil, milk and vanilla. Mix until it creates a dough.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Roll a tablespoon of the dough in your hands and flatten it onto the baking tray to create the cookie shape. If you want neater edges, use a small upside down glass or cookie cutter to trim the edges off.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, turning half way to ensure even baking.
- Leave to cool completely before serving as they will be quite soft and gooey out of the oven! I like to keep them in the fridge for approx 30 minutes to firm up. Can be stored at room temperature.

ISTE 2016 Coverage
Let's face it. ISTE 2016 was huge this year.
The International Society for Technology in Education conference in Denver attracted nearly 20,000 attendees from 72 countries. As of Wednesday, ISTE's final day, more than 221,000 tweets included the #ISTE2016 hashtag; nearly 4,000 #ISTE2016 photos were uploaded to Instagram; and all social media content featuring the conference hashtag reached more than 58 million people around the world, according to a news release.
During the four-day conference, ISTE unveiled new Standards for Students, designed to guide learners who live, work and play in a technology-infused world.
ISTE also announced a collaboration with Microsoft to offer several programs that aim to help schools and educators prepare for the use of technology in education. The initiative includes contributions to curriculum for massive open online courses (MOOCs) in relevant topics, and the development of a plan for guiding schools through their digital transformations.
Dozens of panels and hundreds of workshops took place during the nation's biggest ed-tech powwow. If you were there, you know it was impossible to see and hear everything, especially since many events occurred simultaneously. So what were the main highlights from ISTE 2016? Here's a clear-eyed, yet subjective, assessment from a first-time attendee of the top five takeaways.
1. Michio Kaku is funny. Whether you agree with his theories of the future or not, the opening keynote speaker knows how to deliver a punchline. His comments about guys literally becoming stupider when they see a pretty girl because the blood drains from their brains were hilarious.
2. The real learning at ISTE took place in the Playground and Poster areas. That's where teachers and students offered hands-on workshops and demonstrated what they've learned while integrating technology in the classroom. Kudos to all of the instructors who prepared lessons and presentations for free, just for the sake of sharing knowledge and experience.
3. You have to see the Colorado Rockies play while you're in Denver. zSpace, a Sunnyvale, CA-based tech company that creates virtual reality systems, booked a private suite at the Rockies baseball game on Monday, June 27. Along with providing the obligatory hotdogs, peanuts and popcorn, zSpace and its Director of Education and Product Experience Elizabeth Lytle guided selected members of the media through the company's newest products, including Human Anatomy Atlas. This collaboration with Visible Body allows the user to explore virtual models of the human anatomy in 3D, with the ability to twist, turn and dissect organs such as the human heart and the spinal cord. Atlas contains more than 4,600 anatomical structures, including all major organs and systems of both male and female bodies, and over 1,000 quiz questions for healthcare professionals and students. zSpace has proven that VR and 3D have already progressed pretty far. Oh, and the Rockies came from behind and beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 9-4.
4. New this year was the ISTE Campfire. Dozens of educators gathered in less formal settings to discuss mobile learning, STEM and STEAM, the maker movement, games (or "gamification"), and teaching and learning strategies. Like Playground and Poster, it was a refreshing breakaway from the lecture or panel format. Cross-disciplinary connections were made, and a number of campfires spilled over into dinner, drinks and even less formal interactions.
5. Will Richardson is the real deal. There's been a lot of talk about how education needs to fundamentally change to incorporate technology and meet the changing needs of students. Richardson is one of the few speakers and education leaders who has his finger on the pulse of what's wrong and what should be happening in today's classrooms.
At ISTE, Richardson delivered a lecture titled "Next Steps for the Next Wave: A Plan for Changing Schools." He quoted Yale professor of psychology Seymour Sarason several times, including: "Productive learning is where the process engenders and reinforces wanting to learn more. Absent wanting to learn, the learning context is unproductive."
During his talk, Richardson said, pointedly: "Billions, even trillions have been wasted on technology that hasn't moved the needle on learning."
One of his core tenets is the acronym LEAD: learn, educate, articulate, do it. Some of Richardson's points ring so true, they stir emotions you didn't even know you had.

Welcome to Boerne ISD
Boerne Independent School District, nestled in the scenic Texas Hill Country, is a "destination district" for families who enjoy Boerne's unique combination of rural roots, small town atmosphere and easy access to America's seventh largest city (vibrant San Antonio is 30 miles southeast of Boerne).
This supportive Boerne community places a high priority on education, reflected in the reputation for excellence that Boerne ISD has built and sustained through the years.

Following a healthy diet is key, but only part of the solution for optimized health and well being. A holistic approach—encompassing body and mind—is often the missing link to being your best. Here's how to increase energy naturally with a hot tub.
Eliminate Stress, Increase Vitality
When a stiff neck or tight shoulders leaves you depleted, consider a dip in the hot tub. Powerful massaging jets work out kinks that are triggered by stress, relaxing and soothing tight muscles and joints for instant relief.
Get Regenerative Sleep, Awake Re-energized
Insomnia and trouble sleeping can prevent you from getting the deep, restful sleep you need to feel energized. Luckily, a relaxing dip in the hot tub before bed can promote regenerative sleep—the restful, healthy sleep your body needs to be its best.
Aquatic Exercise in the Hot Tub
Water provides natural resistance for strength training, while supporting and cushioning joints. A few minutes of aquatic exercise before starting the day is all it takes to feel rejuvenated, refreshed and revitalized
So Go Ahead, Take a Soak, You Deserve It!
It's, fast, fun and relaxing. Not only that, it's good for the body, soothes the mind and can improve your overall health and well-being.
To encourage local residents to check out the benefits of using a hot tub to help improve their overall health and well-being, The Spa and Sauna Company is providing free test soaks at all their showrooms.
We do recommend, however, that people wanting to schedule their free 30-minute soak call us ahead of time to reserve their spot.

Beautiful Gold Coast beaches and calming sea breezes may be good for your soul, but the same can't be said for your garden. High levels of salt, sandy soil and wind exposure is kryptonite to many plant and turf varieties. If you want your beachside home to have a beautiful garden, you need to create an environment that is perfectly suited to these conditions.
But how do you this? Check out our coastal gardening guide for tips and tricks to get the best results for your Gold Coast backyard.
It's no secret that where there's a beach, there's salt. Strong sea breezes will carry this salt and deposit it onto your plants and soil. While it's near impossible to completely stop this from happening, you can adjust your garden to limit the impact.
Choose plants that naturally occur in coastal areas and adjust the plan of your garden to suit. We've supplied a little list of salt-hardy plants, trees and shrubs to get you started:
Discover more plants that are native to the Gold Coast
Coastal properties and strong sea breezes go hand in hand. Over time, these strong breezes can damage your garden in a number of ways, from snapping leaves and foliage to carrying abrasive sand and salt. It's crucial you protect your garden from these harmful winds to avoid any stunted growth and yellowing.
Building fences is key to stopping the influence of sea breezes on your coastal garden. Brick walls, timber fences or other permeable types of fencing are great for stopping wind altogether. Shade cloth, lattice and hessian are also other good solutions.
Finally, planting a wall of salt tolerant trees is also a great way to build a barrier against a strong sea breeze (see the list of trees above).
Newly planted trees and shrubs are the most susceptible to damage from coastal conditions. To help give them the best chance of surviving, make sure all newly planted vegetation is protected and supported by plastic tree guards or shadecloth. While this may take a long a little longer while planting, you'll be repaid with flourishing growth and vibrant colouring.
Does your coastal garden have sandy soil? If so, there's a good chance you'll have issues with water retention. Sandier soils are free draining and are quick to dry out. This could be deadly to plants that need large amounts of water to flourish.
In order to tackle this problem, you need to increase the amount of organic soil and mulch varieties in your soil. Keep adding more and more organic matter until you notice your soil is retaining more water. A more drastic measure can be using soil wetting agents from your local landscape supplies yard.
Coastal soils are generally impoverished and have limited capacity to retain applied nutrients. In addition to adding higher amounts of organic matter to your soil, coastal gardens need fertilising more often than traditional gardens. In order to promote healthier more sustained growth, apply slow release fertilisers often like Osmocote or blood and bone. You can find these at your local Bunnings Warehouse.

After a full breakfast by the pool, we headed out to explore Phnom Penh. Our hotel is within walking distance of most of the main attractions.
The architecture and artwork is very similar to Thailand. Our first stop was to the National Museum. We booked a guide. The museum was small but interesting and in beautiful, peaceful surroundings.
The historical religions are a mix between Hindu and Buddhism.
We next walked to Wat Ounalom. Wat means temple.The temple complex is very similar to Thai temples. Very exotic, very beautiful.
After walking down 13 street with all its markets, we stopped at Lemongrass for a delicious Thai and Khmer lunch.
It was very hot and muggy so we made our way back to a hotel, stopping at another temple along the way.
We noticed hundreds of electricity lines clumped together above many street intersections.
Where in Vietnam traffic drives around you when you cross the road, here they just seem to keep driving. We still haven't taken the plunge to cross the busy road to the promenade running along the Mekong River.
Once at the hotel, Cora and I went down for naps and John took a dip in the pool which was deliberately cooled.
Refreshed, we made our way to the Royal Palace. I am glad we booked a guide because it helped us to understand more however a few times I did not understand her accent. The palace was gorgeous. So much to photograph with its royal buildings and silver (floor) pagoda.
John wanted to go for drinks at the Terrace Bar at the FCC (Foreign Correspondents Club) on the riverfront. He ordered a G&T of course. This was the place from where the press reported a lot of their stories in the 70s. I cannot help but notice that the majority of clientele are from the British Commonwealth.
Our evening's entertainment was the Traditional Dance Show by the Cambodian Living Art's organization which was at the museum.
Exhausted from the busy day and heat, we went straight back to the hotel.

Picture this:
Your car is on its last leg. It's making a clanking sound, the gas gauge is no longer floating — it's just there, stuck somewhere between empty and 1/4 full. The suspension is going, and the alternator has been replaced at least two times in the past six months. Oh, and you've noticed a weird leak and a funny smell.
You need a new car. Plain as day, it's time.
And then you take a look at your credit score and realize it's in poor shape. But you still need to buy a car. Let's see how you can buy a car even if you have bad credit, it can be done.
How to Buy a Car If You Have Bad Credit
First and foremost don't lose hope. However, you do need to rebuild your credit and Mr. Ed can help you!
The Mr. Ed Department only works with the Nation's top financial institutions to help you buy or even lease the right vehicle for you and your family. Our lenders offer a multitude of flexible payment options in order to best fit your budget and to make it easier to stay current on your payments. And speaking of payments, every time you make one, it gets reported to all three major credit reporting agencies. Rebuilding your credit couldn't be any easier!
Improve Your Credit Score
Here's an infographic that can help you see how you can improve your credit score. Realistically, you need a good credit score not only to buy a car but also a home, and many other large purchases you may do in the future
Courtesy of: Mr. Ed Credit & Auto Loan Help
Ask Your Auto Dealer About Loans for Bad Credit
Dealers, like, Mr. Ed at Earnhardt Auto Centers, generally have access to a variety of lenders who all have different standards of what they will accept and what rates they will charge. In this instance having a substantial down payment (10-20%) would be a good idea to lower your overall costs.
Get Pre-Approved
There are times when even with a low credit score you can get an approval for a loan from a local bank or credit union. They will generally give you a letter of intent, and with this letter in hand, the dealer knows that you have funds available. They will work with you a little easier, and may even knock down the sticker price in order to meet your budget.
While buying a car on a budget and with bad credit can be frustrating, there are options available for the average person. The best thing you can do though is research. Know your credit score, and what charges are on it that way you can improve things as quickly as possible.

Edison Landing Project Almost Ready
MUSKEGON — Parmenter O'Toole is bringing Edison Landing, a state-designated SmartZone, one step closer to completion after its May groundbreaking.
Though the groundbreaking, originally scheduled for September 2004, was delayed by design changes, partner Chris Kelly said the law firm is happy with the new plans designed by Oppenhuizen Architects of Grand Haven and eager to move ahead with construction.
"We've been looking to build down here for years," he said of the downtown development site.
The firm was formed in 1992 when two Muskegon area firms, Parmenter, Forsythe, Rude, Van Epps, Briggs & Fauri and O'Toole, Johnson, Potter, Rolf & Eklund, merged. Both firms had been in Muskegon since the 1940s.
Kelly said it is partially because of that long-standing history with the downtown area that the firm chose the site, about a mile from the current offices.
"We have a great relationship with the city of Muskegon," he said. "We've been here 50-some years and we don't feel like moving."
Kelly said he thinks Edison Landing, which is being developed by some members of Parmenter O'Toole as Lakefront Development LLC, is helping to bring activity back to downtown. As a SmartZone, the project is bringing the private and education sectors together in downtown Muskegon. The Grand Valley State University Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center was the first Edison Landing project to be completed in 2003.
"I think getting people located downtown is important," Kelly said.
Muskegon Area Chamber of Commerce President Cindy Larsen said the Parmenter O'Toole building is helping to bring more employees to the Edison Landing project. The firm employs 25 attorneys and about 20 support staff members.
It also is helping to encourage an image of prestige, she said.
"The beauty of the Parmenter O'Toole project is that it's literally on the waterfront," she said. "That is the ultimate in prestige for any professional office image."
Kelly said six of the 16 units are under contract but was not willing to disclose the names of the buyers.
"It's kind of a complicated site," he said.
"When we first bought this site, the retail center of the county was downtown Muskegon. All the shopping activity was downtown."
Since the Muskegon Mall has been demolished and the center of shopping shifted, Kelly said, selling the parcels has been more of a challenge.
"It's not really specific to our project; it's just that downtown Muskegon is in a reorganization phase," he said.
Kelly said the new building is part of that reorganization.
"Muskegon's downtown has had some changes lately, and I think companies like National City and our firm recognize it's important to the community and we want to support that," he said, referring to the new main location of National City that is planned to open in the fall.
"I think it's an important time for the city," he said. "In the past five years there's been a lot of changes downtown."
Kelly said he hopes by the end of summer there will be more construction taking place at Edison Landing.
"We just want to close on our contracts and get some more buildings going," he said.

Netbooks have reached the markets some time ago, starting with models such as the EEE 2G. But, believe it or not, compared to the EEE 1000HE – these seem more like toys than actual computers.
The 1000HE is a revolutionary device. Sure, in that price-class you can get a real (low-end) "laptop". But they are bigger and heavier, and their batteries don't last even closely that long. That's why the 1000HE is considered a netbook. It's tiny, portable, and can work for almost a whole day. Let's take a closer look:
The 1000HE definitely does a good job at looking stylish. Sure, it's a subjective topic, though compared to other EEEs this netbook is on the better half. Also the manufacturing quality is high, I had no troubles with anything getting loose or stuff like that. So be assured you won't run into bad surprises with this one.
Awesome. Just awesome. You can type on the keyboard, which they claim to be about 92% of a full-sized keyboard, just as fast as on a normal one. The keys have spaces between them, which makes typing very accurate. You can compare the keyboard to a MacBook. I also tried out a EEE 901. Absolutely horrible. After using it for a while, keys might start getting loose, and pressing one side of the keyboard makes the opposite side go down. Nothing like that on the 1000HE. Actually, I'm typing this whole review on the 1000HE! Once you get into typing on that keyboard, you'll be able to slide from one key to a neighboring one, bringing your typing to astronomical speeds.
An integrated webcam is a good thing by itself, and the 1000HE gives you a whole 1,3 Mpix resolution – far more than the 0,3 of older models. The camera does its job just as any other would do. Sometimes you can experience lags (when recording, it CAN even go down to 1fps), but this is rather on the software-side than on the hardware one. For Skype and similar activities it's just perfect.
Battery life
Asus promises you 9.5h, but using Linux (Easy Peasy, which is the Ubuntu Netbook Remix) I've never gotten that far. Some users claim to even get 10.5 hours on a regular basis, but I usually get around 5h 50min with everything turned off. This is still far more than other netbooks can get you, even with or without Linux, though it's less than what it said it would give you. I've charged it overnight, and I'm able to use it almost the whole day without having to worry about recharging.
Card Reader
Does what it's supposed to do, nothing special here. The 1000HE has a SD-card reader on board.
The 1000HE comes with three USB ports, an wired network port, Video out and a microphone and headphone jack (+ a Kingston Lock). What people might miss is a Firewire connection, though I can live without it. I like that none of the connections are on the back, so no cables will break in case you lift up your laptop by the front.
Eh, it's not that of a nightmare. Yeah, I actually started using command line applications more often than before, just to avoid having to use the touchpad. But after a while, you get used to it, and don't notice it that much anymore. At home, i got a little USB mouse I connect, and even than it's kind of awkward navigating on such a small screen. But you should be fine.
Works just fine, no issues here. Not even software-wise when installing Linux.
You might be a little surprised that the 1000HE actually has some substantial weight, but it's not really impairing anything so it should be alright.
Very nice idea to include that in the box, perfect if you want to carry your EEE in a backpack without it getting scratched. It's not a hardcase, but perfect for most of us.
Comes preloaded with 1GB of RAM, and while people sometimes replace it with 2GB – I've never had any problems with just one. The 160GB are really great compared to other netbooks, as some of these only have 4GB SSDs. I'm sure a SSD is faster and more reliable, but what beats taking your whole music library with you everywhere you go?
Screen looks pretty fine, though has an awkward resolution of 1024×600. You'll get used to that pretty quickly though. The screen does not incredibly well outside, but is still definitely readable. Browsing on such a small screen might be a little bit difficult, even in full screen mode, but it works.
Perfectly fine, almost never ever hear anything. Perfect for e.g. school, or meetings. Only occasionally you might notice it's on.
Now this is the best part – I personally have nothing again Windows, but I installed Easy Peasy, which is a Ubuntu-based EEE-optimized Linux distribution.
It works perfectly fine. The boot time might be a little high, after installing a lot of stuff – between 1-2 minutes. But since I usually just put it to sleep rather than turn it off completely, this is not an issue for me.
The Netbook Remix Launcher is a good idea, though I find myself using the standard mode on a day-to-day basis. I'm sure it just depends on the kind of stuff you want to do on your laptop.
I recommend the following applications:
– Dropbox: An awesome way of syncing your files, especially useful on a device like that.
– Tomboy: You're netbook is everywhere with you, and you want to be able to take notes quickly.
– Gnome Do: Interesting approach of doing stuff. With this you're able to accomplish tasks very quickly.
Of course this list could go on and on, like about which music player, instant messenger or web browser to use. (I use Banshee, Pidgin and Firefox.) This is all up to everybody's own opinion.
Let me point out what the 1000HE can and can't do:
Pros/Ways to use
– Awesome keyboard
– Writing, taking notes, …
– Listening to music
– Watching videos
– Browsing the web (quickly)
– Internet (video) calls
– Email, IM, …
– Organizing photographs (the card reader is a blessing, now you can take the EEE with you whenever you go out taking lots of pictures and archive them on the 160GB harddrive)
Neither really good nor really bad
– Battery life
– Screen
– Speakers
Cons/Things you can't do
– Run software that requires a big screen
– Advanced gaming: Can't do much more than some basic chess and so on games

It has been very foggy for the past few days, we are having a temperature inversion...that means it it colder low down in the city trapping the fog and warmer at higher elevations with sunny skies. A friend of mine took these pictures from a tower in Metrotown in Burnaby and shared them with me. This view is looking north towards the north shore mountains.
Looking even more west of the city.
Looking north, but more to the east.
Even a bit more east.
Perhaps a bit more east and south this time.

Architects Studio RHE has gained planning permission for the remodelling for the second phase of work space known as Capstan House and the public realm at Republic, East India Dock.
Built in 1993, Republic is a 600,000 square feet office development with retail and leisure amenities situated on a prominent 6.4-acre island site in the London Docklands. Working with Trilogy Property and LaSalle Investment Management, Studio RHE is currently transforming the 1990s post-modern office complex at East India Dock into a destination work campus for the co-working, cultural and tech sectors.
The first phase of work on the Anchorage House site started on-site in October 2016, and is expected to complete in Autumn 2017. This phase of work sees the building updated with the re-cladding and extension of the facades at ground and first floors, creating a modern aesthetic to house retail units, bars and cafes with extensive outdoor terraces.
For the second phase of work, Studio RHE has gained planning permission for the refurbishment of Capstan House which sits adjacent to Anchorage House. The refurbishment will provide a range of workspace sizes including small units for start-ups and young businesses, as well as a new ground level facade which will open the building to the street to create a transparent, active frontage mirroring that of Anchorage House.
At the heart of the building will be a working atrium with informal meeting spaces and collaborative work zones. The new atrium will be animated with the insertion of break-out spaces opening on to the atrium at each floor. The atrium has been extended to the dedicated co-working space at the basement floor to increase levels of daylight and to provide a direct link from the underground bike storage and changing facilities.
Public realm works including the creation of pedestrianised out-door space for working and socialising, as well as landscaping work which will introduce native land and water-based plants designed to increase bio-diversity to the site, have also been given the green light.
Completing in phases over the next five years, the workspace at Republic, East India Dock is expected to compete on price with key locations in the South East and major UK regional centres, coming in at half the price of current occupational costs in Shoreditch and just one third of the West End.
Once complete, the campus will eventually provide 650,000 sq ft of low-cost high-quality affordable workplace, a wide range of amenities, generous public realm and extensive green spaces around the existing lake.
Richard Hywel Evans, Director of Studio RHE, commented:
"Republic is looking to redefine the entire campus as the 'workplace of the future' and the new building and public realm goes a long way to proving the concept is quickly becoming a reality."
Robert Wolstenholme, Director, Trilogy Property added:
"Republic is changing the landscape of the area and delivering a place which will attract the innovative, independently minded people and businesses of the future. At Trilogy, we are delighted to be working with Studio RHE again, after the success we had together on Alphabeta. As our first building comes to life we believe we have taken a significant step forward in creating the next benchmark "post Shoreditch" workplace. Buildings set within a highly sustainable amenity rich environment, occupied by a diverse community of creative businesses all at an occupational cost around half of Shoreditch and the other creative clusters of London."
Designed to appeal to the next generation of creative and tech businesses, Republic will create an attractive work and leisure environment, becoming a new neighbourhood in this previously overlooked corner of London's Docklands.

Even though they seem apprehensive about it, many companies seem fairly sure that social networking will play a key role in their business moving forward. More than 60 percent of respondents to a recent survey said that social networking is the "next major step" in collaborative activities and business technology.
At least some of the apprehension, I think, is because many of the vendors pushing social networking as a business tool are startups with nonsensical names, rather than known entities like IBM and Microsoft. Business folks, many of whom are naturally risk-averse, often prefer to work with incumbent technology vendors.
So it's not surprising that IBM is moving to pump up its already considerable Web 2.0 cred by creating a Center for Social Software in Cambridge, Mass., where it has some 5,000 staffers and its Lotus software business unit is based. According to Boston.com, IBM scientists from around the world will visit the center. The facility is also establishing relationships with nearby Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Cambridge-based Thomas Reuters Healthcare has already signed on to work with IBM. Says William Marder, the company's senior VP:
The folks at this IBM center have some very interesting tools to support collaborative views of what's going on. The nice part of this center is the potential to interact with some world-class smart people.
Marder isn't the only one who thinks IBM has some smart people working on coming up with a Web 2.0 vision that will excite companies more than it will scare them. Writing in InformationWeek, David Berlind says Big Blue's proposed combination of unified communications (a set of technologies that's almost as nebulous as Web 2.0, as IT Business Edge blogger Carl Weinschenk points out) and social networking "is probably the closest thing I've seen to a cohesive strategy around how the two infrastructures can strip out the inefficiencies in collaborative business process."
Naturally IBM already has many of the building blocks for this approach in place, including Lotus Sametime (unified communications), Lotus Notes (messaging and calendaring) and Lotus Connections (social networking).
The largest chunk of remaining work may involve linking this software for a more seamless approach to Web 2.0. As Tony Byrne, founder of CMS Watch, told me in our July interview, few tools successfully link social networking with actual collaborative activities. Using IBM software as an example (and noting that the issue is hardly exclusive to IBM), he said:
Connections is very networking-oriented with a little bit of collaboration. Quickr is very collaboration-oriented with a little bit of networking. So at a certain point, through the evolution of these things, you're probably going to want to take a thing that germinated in Connections and put it into Quickr to formalize it. Yet the whole point of Enterprise 2.0 is, "Let's keep the discussion going." But at that point, you're back in Connections.
