Financially the prospect was encouraging. Not a bank lost the contents of its fireproof vaults and remained practically unharmed, so far as credit was concerned.
For a number of days it was impossible to open any strong boxes on account of the great heat which the thick walls retained, and this naturally caused some embarrassment and lack of ready money. Nearly all of them, however, had strong connections in Eastern cities and large balances to their credit in other banks of America and Europe. They were also favored by the fact that the United States Mint and the Sub-Treasury held between them some $245,000,000 in ready money. The Secretary of the Treasury immediately deposited $10,000,000 to the credit of the local banks, and financiers of the great business centres of the country added to public confidence by prompt statements that they would facilitate the reconstruction of the city by a liberal advancement of funds.
One prominent Eastern capitalist expressed the general conviction in the following words:
"No great city, unless it dried up entirely from lack of commercial life blood, was ever annihilated by such a disaster as that of San Francisco. Pompeii and Herculaneum were not great cities in the first place, and in the second, they were completely covered, smothered as it were, with the ashes and molten lava of the adjoining volcano, and nearly all of their inhabitants perished. If it be admitted that three-fourths of the superstructures, so to speak, of San Francisco, estimated according to valuation, is destroyed, we have yet the fact remaining that the lives of only about one four-hundredth of its population have been lost.
"San Francisco was not merely land and the buildings erected upon it, but it was people, and one of the most active, most hopeful, most vivacious human communities on the face of the earth. You cannot long discourage such a community, unless you wipe out three-fourths of its members. Will San Francisco rise again? Most certainly it will. Galveston and Baltimore, not to mention Charleston, Boston and Chicago, showed the spirit of material resurrection in American communities, sore-smitten by calamity. After Galveston had been made a desert of sand and debris, there were predictions that it would never rise again. What was the outcome? A finer Galveston than before, and finer than many years of slow improvement in the natural course would have made it. Baltimore is busier commercially than it was before the great fire.
"San Francisco is exceedingly fortunate in the fact that its moneyed institutions remain strong, with abundant supplies of funds. It is true that many of them undoubtedly hold large numbers of real estate mortgages as securities for loans, and that much of the property thus represented is now in ashes. But with care and an accommodating spirit practically all of those mortgaged can be so nursed that they will be made absolutely good. The banks will be found

It was actually the first time I had spoken about my proposals for economic reform in public (apart from the time when I invited myself to the Toulouse School of Economics to give a talk - but on that occasion, only 4 people turned up - it had been programmed at the same time as the Finance Seminar!).
But on this occasion, there were not far off 100 people there, and they were actually interested in the subject! Wonderful! My thanks to the organisers for the invitation, and all the volunteers who provided a meal for everyone. I had a great time.
I shared the stage for the evening debate with Professor François Morin, an economist from the University of Toulouse. François has published a number of books on the nature of the economy including "Un monde sans Wallstreet", and "Le nouveau mur d'argent: Essai sur la finance globalisée", so it was very nice to find out what he thought about my proposals.
My talk tried to bring together a number of the themes that I have been thinking about recently, and in particular the idea that we could fix the Eurozone crisis for good by making a number of specific reforms. Firstly, it is essential that the European Central Bank takes on the public sector debt in the Eurozone. By doing this, it would immediately save Eurozone taxpayers hundreds of billions in interest payments every year. But, it order to pay off those debts, the ECB could impose a financial transaction tax on all Euro-denominated transactions - wherever they occur. Finally, the revenue generated by the tax should be redistributed among the different Eurozone countries according to population.
They are all ideas that I have previously mentioned here. But this was the first time that I had brought them all together, and I tried to update the figures to use the latest data.
The discussions with François and the members of the audience were very stimulating. I was pleased to hear that François agreed with the sorts of numbers I had been using. And I didn't hear of any real problems with what I propose - except for the fact that we should expect to get massive resistance from the financial sector. Not surprising, since the proposals will effectively kill the goose that has been laying golden eggs for the financial sector for 60 years at least - allowing the banking sector to siphon off 3% of GDP from taxpayers every year in the form of totally unjustifiable interest payments.
Still, I'd like to think that this could be the start of something big. I really do think that with the European Elections coming up in 2014, the time could be right to get political parties to take on board some of these radical proposals.
Anyway, I've just uploaded a Youtube version of the talk which last about 32 minutes. It's called "How to eliminate Eurozone Public Sector Debt without austerity". I hope you like it.
There's also a version in French for those of you who want to know how bad my French accent is. You can find it on my other blog under the title "Ma nouvelle présentation Youtube : Comment éliminer la dette publique de l'Eurozone sans austérité".

What the conference delegates, speakers, exhibition visitors and exhibitors said about Passenger Terminal CONFERENCE & EXPO 2014
Robert Deillon, CEO, Geneva Airport, Switzerland
"It is important to be here to see what is happening in aviation, in the airports, and it's one of the major Expos in Europe for airports, so yes, it's important to be here and a lot of people from Geneva are here and they are quite happy"
Indana Prabhakara Rao, CEO, Delhi International Airport, India
"Will come back to this one!"
Johan Vanneste, Chief Executive Officer, Luxemburg Airport, Luxemburg
"It's my first time here and I'm discovering a lot of useful things for my airport. I came to especially find ways to speed up our security screening process as well as automatic bag drop solutions, automatic gate access and crowd control technology. I'm really impressed by some of the presentations that I've seen, including how to speed up the whole security process and shorten wait times. It's been an extremely positive experience. I'm actually very new to Luxemburg Airport, I've only been two months in the job, so for me the Expo is about discovery. Although I've worked in the aviation sector for over 40 years, I'm still discovering the latest technology, which I can find here"
Jim Parasos, Director Airport and Airline Services, Darwin International Airport, Australia
"It's the premier event for this aspect of terminal development. It captures retail, it captures customer experience, it captures operation security. As far as I am aware, there is not a similar Conference globally that delivers all that. In the scheme of things, the long journey is a small price to pay"
Serge Petit, Chief Executive Officer, Airports of Mauritius Co, Mauritius
"It's a great event to gain good exposure. You can see the changes taking place in the aviation industry and keep up to date with all the latest trends. In Mauritius we have just completed a new passenger terminal in September 2013, but we realised we are already lagging behind based on what we've seen at the Expo – we are very impressed by the technologies and solutions on show here"
Kristian Durhuus, VP Chief Operating Officer, Copenhagen Airports AS, Denmark
"I think it's a very good Conference. Especially the Conference Programme is very, very good. If you pick your choice of subject that will interest you, it is a high quality this year"
Abdulhameed Abalary, Managing Director, KAIA Jeddah Airport, Saudi Arabia
"It was a real pleasant time we spent with you at the Conference and I enjoyed the successful discussions and informative sessions – it's a great event"
Bryan Thompson, General Manager Strategy Planning and Development, Melbourne Airport, Australia
"I've attended the PTE in various forms, in various organisations, since its inception; missed a year or two along the way, but if there is one Conference I will have to choose around the world this is it, because you get it all in one place"
Felipe Lizana Mejias, Infrastructure Manager, LatAm Airlines, Chile
"Every year we select a little group from different divisions within our airline to attend the Expo and, specifically, the Conferences. We attend the presentations to find out more about the passenger experience and gain more insight into improvements in airports including services and passenger improvements. We're taking on board a lot of useful and very relevant information"
Emanuel Fleuti, Head of Environment, Flughafen Zurich AG, Switzerland
"It is important because this is the one place we feel we can share that experience, to learn from what other airports have been doing in the past, or plan to do in the future. This is the one platform to exchange that knowledge. Luckily I was moderator yesterday, so today I am happy to sit and listen to other presentations. It is quite broad Conference, which is a good thing because it's not too constrained to be here. There are lots of opportunities and it's also a good place to be and also a good place to exchange the ideas I may have in my own core business and also things that influence our airport business"
Marc Ellam, Head of Passenger & Digital Communications, Heathrow Airport Ltd, UK
"I came here with a number of key programmes that are already in motion, if you like, and a couple of guys I am working with here. We were able to work up more solutions with them and indeed some ideas I had gestating in my mind. I've literally come out of a room now with a couple of guys who were able to take some of those ideas forward. It's real value, it's finding time to take all the ideas that are here. It's fantastic"
Mattias Handley, Customer Communications Director, Swedavia AB, Sweden
"It's a great networking opportunity. It's a great way to learn things you didn't know you wanted to learn as well! I sat in a presentation when it discussed how to use Bluetooth to measure passenger flow. Thank you for a great PTE2014. Superb networking and interesting speakers at the Conference"
Satyan Abraham, Principal Architect, Emirates Airlines, UAE
"There are a lot of people together in one place and there is lots of information to take in – the exhibition provides a single shop where you can interact with service providers and find more about the different products on offer. I'm part of an airline that always aims to be at the forefront of technologies, so the Expo is a good place to find the leading edge of technologies and find out what's best in the market. The exhibition is one of the best places for airlines and airports"
Richard Meredith, Chief Development Officer, Istanbul New Airport Project, Turkey
"It is important to attend on several levels. For us to learn new things, to make new contacts and also to get our name out into the industry, to say the new airport is coming to Istanbul and is going to be a successful airport, we hope"
Rob Brancheau, Senior Director - Planning, Engineering and Construction, Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, USA
"As always, the Passenger Terminal CONFERENCE has been outstanding. I have attended loads of different presentations and have found every one to be extremely relevant. The sessions I have spent most of my time in have covered topics such as planning and design; facilitation; the airport city model; and commercial and retail. And they have all been extremely informative. In Orlando we're in the middle of doing some very major projects, including a lot of inter-model developments and some of the presentations and exhibitions are really relevant to this. I'm personally trying to encourage having one or two people from Orlando here every year. In three days, you can really see what's going on around the world and where you stand relative to what others are doing"
Antoine Rostworowski, Director, Industry Relations, Aéroports de Montreal, Canada
"The Conference is always a very good Conference. Everyone is here, all the airlines, airports, vendors, lots of people, so you can meet a lot of people. It's difficult to walk without having an interesting conversation or seeing an interesting product. Actually I believe this year there have been more people. The Conferences have always been great. It seems there has been even more of a dynamic atmosphere. Even more new products that people want to carry out and deploy, so I thought personally, this year, discussions were even more productive"
Andrew John Walsh, Chief Officer Service Delivery, Oman Air, Oman
"This is actually my first time, even though I've been involved with airports for a long time. I think it's a very valuable Conference. I think the exhibition, in terms of the companies here and what they're actually showing in terms of their products and services that they have, has been very beneficial and I think the Conferences themselves have been very useful. Very useful to speak to like-minded people, so to meet like-minded people, to meet my peers, there are a lot of people you know. One thing is, the industry is relatively small, but then to be able to see them, to talk to them about how they are doing and what problems they're facing and how they're tackling them is also beneficial. So networking has been great, the information from the Conference itself has been great and I think the exhibition, in terms of the presentation of products and services, is also excellent, so very good, very worthwhile, and I think I'll definitely be back here in the future"
Barbara Jensen-Vorster, Senior Executive Manager: Communication & Marketing, Gautrain, South Africa
"Just a word of congratulations from my side again on a well-arranged Conference. I attend and speak at many Conferences around the world and I am always amazed by how well you do it"
Douglas Stolls, Manager Guest Relations & Central Baggage, Virgin America, USA
"Can't thank you enough for the opportunity once again. Really enjoyed the show. Hoping to be back next year!"
Ken Greene, Deputy Manager for Airport Operations, Denver International Airport, USA
"Well I think it's a gathering of companies that do exactly what it is that we need in the industry, so it's a great forum to exchange a lot of information and to actually touch the technology. A lot of the time you get information via videos and pamphlets; here you can walk around and you can talk to the experts who know their technology very well. You can actually touch and experience the technology; I've had the opportunity to do so and also make the kinds of contacts when you are back in your airport environment and you start to really plan what it is you have to do, you now have contacts with various vendors who might have applications you might be looking for"
Kalan AlShueili, General Manager - Readiness, Oman Airports Management Company, Oman
"It is a very attractive event, first of all, because there is such a wealth of knowledge. I have been two times before; this time I brought a larger group and we had people who were coming to look at IT, people in terminal operations, people who are looking at equipment and machinery. Myself, I have come here to talk to companies in terms of procurement and a lot of equipment and furniture, and I think there is a lot of interest shown by many of these companies"
Ronald H Augustin, Security Director & Deputy Senior Vice President, KLM Security Services SPL/AV, Netherlands
"Looking forward to the next occasion of Passenger Terminal"
Mary Kerins, Head of Health and Safety, Security and Environment, DAA plc, Ireland
"I look forward to next year!"
Steve Wareham, Vice President, Trillion Aviation, USA
"It's been a great Conference. See you in Paris!"
Brian Engle, Station Leader, Southwest Airlines MCO, USA
"A fabulous Conference once again!!"
Sandra Casey-Buford, Director of Strategic Research/Diversity, Massachusetts Port Authority, USA
"I definitely loved the Conference, and I've been talking it up to other people in the industry"
Andrew John Walsh, Chief Officer Service Delivery, Oman Air, Oman
"This is actually my first time, even though I've been involved with airports for a long time. I think it's a very valuable Conference. I think the exhibition, in terms of the companies here and what they're actually showing in terms of their products and services that they have, has been very beneficial and I think the Conferences themselves have been very useful. Very useful to speak to like-minded people, so to meet like-minded people, to meet my peers, there are a lot of people you know. One thing is, the industry is relatively small, but then to be able to see them, to talk to them about how they are doing and what problems they're facing and how they're tackling them is also beneficial. So networking has been great, the information from the Conference itself has been great and I think the exhibition, in terms of the presentation of products and services, is also excellent, so very good, very worthwhile, and I think I'll definitely be back here in the future"
Bernard Thiboutot, Director - Marketing, Aéroport de Quebec Inc, Canada
"We always come here to look at new technologies and basically to see what is new in this market. We will refurbish our airport in a few years from now and we would like to see to invest in new technology processes for passengers. Each year you have to come because this is The Show in our industry"
Putit Chaipeth, Computer System Analyst, Airports of Thailand PLC, Thailand
"I've been to Passenger Terminal EXPO in previous years and this year is excellent. Everything is here – products, services, systems – it's all in one place. We specifically came to see self-service bag-drops because we are looking for a solution that is right for our airport, and have been very impressed by the technology available. We have been seeking a solution suitable for our airport, our airlines and passengers, and we go to Passenger Terminal EXPO for this because it is the biggest and best event"
Allen Lainez, Airports Training Director, Copa Airlines, Panama
"The event is great. We have been to other events, but Passenger Terminal EXPO is the biggest. We came to see self-service solutions and the strategies other airports are putting in place as we are seeking to put a long-term strategy in place to improve the passenger experience, and have managed to do that"
Majed Al Harbi, Managing Engineer, King Khalid International Airport, Saudi Arabia
"We come to Passenger Terminal EXPO to look for solutions to any problems we have in our airport. We make many of our decisions based on the companies and solutions that we see at the Expo. If we have a project, such as a new terminal building, then we need to see the latest technology and it's great to have all the companies in one place. This year, we specifically came to see terminal technology including self-service solutions, which we know we'll find at the Expo. Sometimes we hear about a company but never meet them because they are not in our country and there is nothing like this in Saudi Arabia; therefore we gather our information here"
Henning Larsen, IT Manager, Billund Airport, Denmark
"This Expo is the only one with a broad range of terminal equipment, which for me as an IT manager is really important, and many of my suppliers are here"
Tracy Nihei, Manager Airport Terminal Project, Vancouver Airport Authority, Canada
"I like to visit Passenger Terminal EXPO to see what's new in the industry and, since we're a medium-sized airport, to see where the larger airports are going and what sorts of trends we're seeing. Also we're in Canada, and as Europe seems to have the bigger hub airports, we try to learn from these and the lessons they have to offer. The event gives us more exposure to what's out there. As I represent the airport owner, there's a bit of everything here that you can kind of get a taste for and it's nice to have everything under one roof"
Stéphane Mazenq, Project Manager, Toulouse Blagnac Airport, France
"I have attended this Expo for a few years now and continue to come back to see the evolution of technology, as well as new and current exhibitors and projects. For example, when I attended my first Expo in Paris it was only the beginning of automatic bag-drops and self-service boarding, which has now very much evolved. Therefore I come to see which technology is new, including handling of baggage, self-boarding, automatic gates, etc. In one day you can meet a whole array of exhibitors since you have everything in one place"
Marie Jail, Project Manager, Aéroports de Paris, France
"It's a great place to see new technologies in the market and make contact with people in the industry"
Eng. Adil A Al Yafaei, Senior Maintenance Manager, Oman Airports Management Company, Oman
"The show is very well organised. The technology on display is good every year; it's great to see the latest equipment on display. Being a maintenance manager, I find the Conferences on services most useful – the Conference on Dubai this year was particularly interesting and useful to me"
Daniel Conrardy, Head of Airport Security, Luxembourg Airport, Luxemburg
"It's been a great Conference and exhibition. As head of security, I came to find security solutions, specifically to lower queuing times in terminals. I saw a range of different solutions and have found what I was looking for. Since every airport has more or less the same problems, I also came to see how other airports are dealing with their problems, to meet other people in the industry and to share our airport with others so that we can visit each other in future. I have managed to get the information I needed"
Lars Peter Larsen, System Specialist, Baggage Terminal, Copenhagen Airports, Denmark
"We are looking for some baggage reconciliation systems and baggage handling companies, including what's new in the market. Quite a few systems have impressed us so far. It's good to see who can provide these kinds of systems and get some contacts and possibly achieve some contracts"
Khaled M Berbash, Chief of Advisors, Libyan Airports Authority, Libya
"I came to find out more about planning in airports, and I've gained some very good ideas here. There are a lot of promising ideas, especially involving advanced technology. We were actually thinking about organising our own event in Libya, based on what we've seen at the Expo here"
Dennis Mastrogiacomo, Head of Operations Division, Geneva Airport, Switzerland
"I came for the Conferences; the sessions on passenger experience were very useful and relevant to me. I generally came to learn new things and expand my views, and have achieved this"
Kiran Merchant, Manager Aviation Planning Division, Port Authority of NY&NJ, USA
"Congratulations on a very well-coordinated Conference – looking forward to seeing you next year"
Velissarios Eleftheriou, Aeronautical Strategy Manager, Dubai Airports, United Arab Emirates
"Following a very successful Conference both on a general and personal level (due to the positive feedback after my presentation), I would like to sincerely thank you and your team. I already look forward to seeing you in Paris"
Ashwini Thorat, General Manager, MIAL (GVK), India
"Congratulations to you and your team on completion of another Passenger Terminal EXPO event. It was great and organised very well"
Nancy Stern, In-House Architect, Vancouver Airport Authority, Canada
"Thank you for a terrific Conference"
Dvir Rubinshtein, Aviation Security Operation Center Manager, ASOC/State of Israel, Israel
"Thank you all for everything. I hope to meet again in Paris"
Graeme Davids, Retired Detective Constable, Special Branch, Formerly, Leicestershire Constabulary, UK
"It was a good experience"
Léa Bodossian, Secretary General, Airport Regions Conference, Belgium
"We admire the excellent work you did for the Conference"
Art Kosatka, CEO, TranSecure Inc, USA
"An excellent and stimulating series of presentations and panels in Barcelona. Hope to see you again next year in Paris"
Jean Salomon, Principal, JSCP, France
"A big thank you for your efficient and insightful presentations"
Nigel Brownlow, Senior Vice President, Revenue Management and Information Services, InterVISTAS Consulting, USA
"Big thank you for all your thorough and competent support before and during the Conference"
J Lee Glenn, Director of Aviation Design, HKS Inc, USA
"The Conference was terrific and your staff did an incredible job"
Donald Zoufal, Safety and Security Executive, SDI (System Development Integration LLC), USA
"I have to say the presentations I have seen here have been of high quality"
Hunter Fulghum, Senior Consultant, Arts & Engineering PLLC, USA
"First off, let me congratulate you on the 2014 PTE. It was one of the best shows I've participated in"
Jerry Angrave, Managing Director, Empathyce Customer Experience, UK
"You and your team laid on a great event"
Chirantan Mukhopadhyay, Vice President, Aecom, USA
"The Conference this year was wonderful"
Roddy Boggus, Senior Vice President / Aviation Director, Global Market Leader, Parsons Brinckerhoff, USA
"I look forward to seeing you next year"
Abbas Khodaverdi, Chief Technical Officer, Matiran, Iran
"It was a true pleasure to be with you and enjoy a very fruitful Conference – it was a very prestigious Conference and I learned a lot"
Benjamin Moreno Palacios, CEO, Airport Gurus, Spain
"As we are Spanish, the Expo this year has been great as it is in Barcelona, so very close by and has been incredibly useful. For us, this Expo is the main event of the year and the best for the airport environment"
Dzhamal Karzimbegov, Business Development Manager, PrimeTouch, Russian Federation
"We came to see what's currently available on the market and to find possible new partners. It's been going very well. This Expo is the biggest one and the most suitable for communications and our needs"
Yves Duguay, President, HCiWorld, Canada
"The Conference was truly a pleasure. Let's keep in touch"
Darija K Scott, Principal, Scott Associates, Canada
"One of the main benefits of this Conference is that it has a very good mix of exhibits and content. Although there are other shows available in the industry, they may offer very good Conferences but not so good exhibits and vice versa, so I think it's very important that PTE combines the two. It's the combination of exhibits and Conferences that makes the Expo successful"
Graham Lovely, Project Manager, MCW Consultants, Canada
"The people who are presenting at the Passenger Terminal CONFERENCE really know their stuff and they're high up enough in their organisations that they've got decent, usable data. There have also been a lot of discussions that spur further discussions. As I'm a consultant to Vancouver Airport, we can talk about these things, so there's a lot of cross-collaboration"
Peter Ball, Business Development Manager, Zafire Aviation Software Ltd, UK
"It's been a very good week at the show; particularly yesterday was our best day. We've had some quality conversations and quality enquiries from people who are looking to deploy innovative solutions"
Peter Duffield, Head of Sales, Zafire Aviation Software Ltd, UK
"We have found this year's Passenger Terminal EXPO excellent. We have a very diverse product range, so we have appealed to a lot of visitors. The event has enabled us to have some great conversations with a diverse set of clients"
Daniel Grant, Director, Admotum, UK
"Quite simply it's the best place to get all the top decision makers and all the movers and shakers in the industry all in the one building. For us to independently approach manufacturers and also to then talk to the end users, airport authorities, airlines and various stakeholders, that would be a monumental task picking one at a time and also allowing them to come to us how we would like to present. So in a nutshell, everyone is where you want them to be and the response has been fantastic. We've got in front of all the right people today"
Christian Roth, CEO, Beontra AG, Germany
"It's been amazing. It's just day two but the first day was absolutely stunning. We've known Passenger Terminal EXPO for quite some years and I have spoken at some exhibitions in the past, but exhibiting was definitely the right decision for us. We had a huge crowd on the stand on the first day and we are looking forward to the next days and we will definitely be around next year as well"
Frank Mikkelsen, Sales Manager, DSG Systems AS, Norway
"All the leads we get at this Expo are very valuable to us, so this is by far the best Expo we can participate in. I look tired so I have been extremely busy the past two days!"
Leonard Beckmann, Product Manager, Epson Europe, Germany
"It's been amazing, it's really great. We've made some very interesting deals during the show, so we are really happy and we have booked for the next year"
Martin Bowman, Sector Director, Lockheed Martin, UK
"We're here now, because in our view this is the premier airport show in the world. I think the quality of conversations and visitors and delegates has just been exceptional, and it has definitely validated our decision to exhibit here and validated our decision to be here again next year"
Helmut An De Meulen, CEO, Materna Information & Communications, Germany
"First of all, we are going to meet all our potential customers; not only from Europe – we've had a lot of visitors coming from the Middle East, from Asia, from The Americas, this is important. People want to see what they get, they want to have a feel, an impression, what it looks like, how it works. This is really a meeting point for our industry, that's why we really enjoy coming here once again and of course we will attend next year's PTE in Paris as well"
Richard Wilks, Business Development, NEC Display Solutions Europe GmbH, Germany
"We have done a lot of events over the last three years and really Passenger Terminal EXPO still is the number-one event for us globally now, where we can really showcase our new technologies. People are very interested to find out what the trends are in our displays market, but also how we are helping them really to develop their passenger experience process in the terminals themselves"
Bart Houlleberghs, Commercial Director, Type22, Netherlands
"Coming to PTE for the third year in a row, we are returning exhibitors. Really, having that fixed moment in the year to continue the dialogue from previous year is really great to see the steps we've taken, the steps they've taken and also the steps that our competitors and partners have taken. It's really a good moment every year to benchmark again and keep progressing"
Boris Weber, Vice President Sales, Siemens AG, Germany
"Well, there are so many fairs around the world and this is the fair where all the industries are and where we find all our customers, not only from Europe but also from the USA, from Asia. This Conference in my view is really the best we have in our community, so we have all the people here. I can see that if I look at the last years, the exhibition part of the PTE is growing every year, which is a good sign. So we have to be here to see all our customers. We like it."
Roland van den Bergh, Managing Director International, Vanderlande Industries, Netherlands
"Like I said, it's a meet and greet kind of show for us. A lot of our customers have been here, a lot of potential new customers have been here. I think we are well respected in the industry; we get that as feedback from basically customers and not yet customers, so to speak. It makes us very happy because that is what we are trying to do and that is what we are targeting, so if we are successful in that, then we are happy doing that, yes. It has a lot of senior people walking around here, and those people are really key to us to understand what are their needs, what are their business models, what are their challenges for us to focus on for further future innovations"
Paul Williams, CEO, Zoeftig Ltd, UK
"This really has become The Show in the world. We only have to look back on the last few days of being here and we know from the people that have been on the stand, we've had them from all parts of the world. As a company we have representation all over the world; we have offices in USA, in Europe, Middle East and we'll have offices in Asia very soon; we do business in all those parts of the world. They're coming here to see what's on offer, not just in seating of course; there are many other products they want to buy. That's why we have to be here; this is where they come to see the latest innovations"
Christoph Oftring, International Sales Manager, Crisplant, Denmark
"We have been very positively surprised about the amount of people that showed up on the first day, but it has been very busy right from the start. I have been attending Passenger Terminal EXPO for many years and I have seen it growing every time. This event provides a great opportunity to get feedback from the market and to discuss future trends, and to meet with existing and potential future customers"
Sandra Baltissen, International Marketing & PR Executive, Boon Edam International BV, Netherlands
"We exhibit every year and always find that we make a lot of great contacts with airports and airlines at the show. We choose to participate because we want to put our brand out there, make people more familiar with us and to meet new airports and know what's going on in the airport industry – something we are really achieving at this year's event"
Beesem Bikhazi, Founder and CEO, Gooey Global, UK
"I've been involved with Passenger Terminal EXPO for some years and it's always a great event. The Expo provides a place to expand our footprint as we want to get our message across and become more global as quickly as possible"
Elke Oberg, Marketing Manager, Cognitec, Germany
"What I really appreciate about this show is that it changes locations every year. We have a lot of shows now in London and every new event seems to be in London, which makes it very tough to attract people from the continent to come over to an expensive city. Therefore, I really like the Passenger Terminal EXPO concept and the fact that you're always choosing different locations. I think it's great because it does bring different people to the event"
Petr Otoupal, Managing Director, Simpleway, Czech Republic
"We started to target airport markets in 2006 and so we want to build our image as a player in this industry, which the Expo has definitely helped us to achieve. This is the single most important event in our industry (passenger services and the general systems associated with it)"
Lorena André, Sales and Marketing, RESA Airport Data Systems, France
"Passenger Terminal EXPO is the only show we exhibit at and we exhibit every year – we have to be here, it's a very important event for us, especially to find new customers and showcase our product range"
Nuno Nunes Alexandre, Export Manager, Cominfo
"The event is a great place to promote our company. We want to expand in the airport market and gain more experience in the industry, to be stronger and develop even more technologies and solutions. The Expo provides a great place to do this"
Ana Luis, Marketing Services, Ana SA, PORTUGAL
"I believe that it was a great Conference! Very well organised and with great speakers. Most of the sessions I saw were on the customer service and passenger experience, and those were great!"

"Sweat Yourself Sexy"
It's no secret by now that anything that involves music automatically brings out the dancer in me. Including workouts, in fact, music is what makes a workout a billion times more fun for me. As a trained Jazz dancer who has dabbled in hiphop, lyrical and of course, tons of cheerleading, any fitness routine promising to include dance and music and a good sweat grabs my attention.
I recently came across The Fitness Marshall on Youtube and watched a video at random one day. I was pretty impressed, good music, fun looking moves and excellent energy from the host & backup booty.
So, I decided to give it a try and that brings me to today where I am giving you a fitness video review so that you'll go shake that booty and sweat yourself sexy.
About The Fitness Marshall
The Fitness Marshall started in 2014 by Caleb Marshall, and it hasn't shown any sign of slowing down in its popularity growth. With over 350,000 subscribers and nearly 60 Million views as of me writing this blog post, you can clearly see that this Youtube Channel and host are rising stars.
You can pick and choose which videos you want to dance along to and get your groove on, or plan a full workout session with Caleb. He's set up a super easy customizable workout routine. By heading to his Youtube Channel Playlists you'll find three different sections I want you to focus on.
-Warm Up
-Main Workout
-Cool Down
Caleb instructs you to create your own workout playlist with his videos from these playlists to create a full workout. Choose 2 Warm Up videos, 8 Main Workout videos, 1 Cool Down video and get ready to sweat yourself sexy!
The Fitness Marshall
Playlist Link: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFitnessMarshall/playlists
Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFitnessMarshall/featured
Website: https://thefitnessmarshall.org/
Difficulty level: Be able to count 5-6-7-8
Length: 3 or more minutes
I thought it was: SO MUCH FUN!
I was totally pumped and ready to get my body moving when I started this workout session with The Fitness Marshall, and I was not disappointed. I did a total of 7 videos, not realizing I missed one until I finished. I'll go through my top 3 videos and give a review below.
S&M Cardio Hip-Hop
This was so much fun! The 'whip' move is so much fun, even though I didn't really understand how to do it properly until the end. This is the kind of song I'd repeat over an over, and it helps that I just like this song. Still. After all this time. I put in a lot of energy and could feel the difference between major energy exertion and moderate energy exertion in these videos. To get a real workout, put in all your energy for the whole song.
B8TCH BETTER HAVE MY MONEY – Cardio Hip Hop
This list might be turning into which songs are my favourite out of the choices available, haha. This video, however, had my attention because the attitude level you can throw into your moves matches the song so well. And what girl doesn't want mo' money? So I'll dance my butt off until I get my money! The Backup booty really adds to every video. I really enjoy them.
STARSHIPS Cardio Hip Hop
This used to be my go-to song to run to back in my cheer-days. So listening to this song brings back all the good feels of a good summer. Dancing to this video, however, burns your arms muscles like you want your arms to fly away. No kidding, this is a great arm workout. I have been worried I don't work on my upper body fitness enough, now I'll just throw this dance in my dance randomly to get a decent sweat session in.
Final Thoughts
If you're looking for a fun time, a really good sweaty cardio session, and maybe something to bring up your spirits if you're feeling blue, The Fitness Marshall is for you. I'm not kidding about the mood lifter.
Music has been proven to effect your mood. Exercise releases mood lifting endorphin's. And being around other positive people who are encouraging can really help, especially if you're not technically in the public because you're
a bit of an introvert.
So spending 3 minutes or an hour following along to some fun choreography and hitting some moves hard to get a full body workout, I doubt you'll be disappointed in this video series. It's perfect for anyone in need of some fun cardio.
A mom, ex-cheerleader, ex-party-girl-having-fun-in-her-early-twenties, someone wanting to get in shape, wanting to have fun… then this is the workout for you. Try it out and let me know which are your favourite.
AND if you go to a live workshop or have been to a live workshop with Caleb Marshall let me know how it was. I would love to go to one. You Americans always have all the fun. 😉

8 reasons how we'll ruin it for all other online wine shops!
There is lots of prejudice when it comes to online wine shopping. The good news is we managed to get around all of them. The bad news is that we will ruin it for all other online wine shops.
Why shop Croatian wine online and how to get around our web site – this is thewineandmore.com 101:
- Big chances are you'll fall in love with Croatian wines
Don't say we didn't warn you. Jokes aside, we wanted to create a virtual wine-shop where you will be able to find and buy a big selection of Croatian wines online. We aspire to be your go-to Croatian wine online shop.
- We will spoil you
In case you were wondering – yes, we handpick and taste all of our wines ourselves. It is a hard job, but someone has to do it. This means that descriptions you can find next to each wine are our own, as well as the photos of the bottles. We take pride in providing you with a personalized service.
- Price will never again become an issue
We're quite sure you know the story – the further away you are from the cellar, the more expensive the wine is. Well, not in our case. We're picking up wines in cellars for you and offering them to you at the best price possible. You can thank us by placing your next order :)
- Whatever you order - we deliver
It is brought to our knowledge this one of the biggest issues when ordering wine online. Apparently, most wine web-shops don't have their own physical stock. This is not the case with thewineandmore.com. Croatian wines offered in our wine online shop are already at our warehouse which makes everything so much easier. Once you choose your Croatian wines online - we deliver.
- We move fast and easy
We are located in Croatia, but our distribution partners are well spread around the EU. This means you can have your wines, for example, in London in 4-5 days.
- Your money is safe with us
By now we believe to have proven that we are a reliable wine supplier. You can choose from an array of payment options, and whatever you choose – rest assured – your money is safe with us.
- You won't get lost
We hate cluttered web sites as much as you do. This is why we keep ours clean and organized.
We're updating thewineandmore.com on a daily basis. You'll be in the know on what's going on the Croatian wine scene, so once you decide to come to Croatia – you'll know your way around.

The jury returned with verdict against the Holy Land Foundation and its principals today in the retrial of the government's case that ended the first time around in a mistrial. We have written frequently and at length about the case here. I also took a look at the case for NRO during the first trial in "Coming clean about CAIR." Here is how I described the case in that column:
One of the most significant terrorism prosecutions brought by the government since 9/11 commenced trial last month in federal district court in Dallas. The government's 42-count indictment charges seven individuals and the Holy Land Foundation — the biggest Islamic charity in the United States — with offenses including conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, namely, Hamas. Two of the seven individual defendants have not been arrested and are fugitives.
The charges are dramatic. According to the indictment, U.S. based members of the Muslim Brotherhood established a Palestine Committee that was ultimately charged with the task of raising funds supporting Hamas's efforts to eliminate the state of Israel. After the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993, the Palestine Committee swung into high gear. At a secret three-day meeting in Philadelphia in October, 1993 (monitored by the FBI), those in attendance discussed how best to continue to support Hamas without being viewed as terrorists.
The Holy Land Foundation appears to have been the answer. Between 1995 and 2001, the foundation delivered millions of dollars to support Hamas in the West Bank and Gaza. The government charges that the foundation was a vital member of an international network of organizations that finances Hamas activities. Furthermore, the government charges that the Foundation and the individual defendants provided financial support to the families of Hamas terrorists, detainees, and activists knowing that the assistance would support Hamas ultimately contending that the story of the Holy Land Foundation is part of "the story of Hamas in the United States."
The government named CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator of the Holy Land Foundation. CAIR executive director Nihad Awad attended the 1993 Philadelphia meeting of the Muslim Brotherhood's Palestine Committee that laid the groundwork for the establishment of the Holy Land Foundation. After 9/11, CAIR solcited donations to the Holy Land Foundation under the guise of "the NY/DC Emergency Relief Fund." CAIR is part of the American terror support network that survives the conviction of the Holy Land Foundation and its principals. It is at least worth noting in this context that Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Keith Ellison was the featured speaker at CAIR's annual dinner in Washington this past weekend.
The government overcame several difficult challenges in seeing the prosecution through to the convictions rendered by the jury today. I know it had the benefit of some good advice from Andrew McCarthy the second time around.
The Dallas Morning News account of the verdict is full of quoted apologetics from HLF supporters and the customary useful idiots, but it states at the top:
The unanimous verdicts are a complete victory for the government, which streamlined its case and worked hard to carefully educate jurors on the complex, massive evidence presented in the trial. Guilty verdicts were read on 108 separate charges.
The prosecution victory is also a major one for the lame duck administration of President George Bush, whose efforts at fighting terrorism financing in court have been troubled, even though the flow of funds seems to be effectively shut down
Congratulations and thanks are in order to the dogged prosecutors who worked on the case in the office of the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas.
Via Carl in Jerusalem.

Friendster, one of the world's largest social networking sites, which is based on the Circle of Friends and Web of Friends technique, has been recently acting abnormally. Trying to visit the website via the entry "friendster.com" just doesn't do the trick, and explicitly adding the "www" prefix making it "www.friendster.com" would lead you either to a System Maintenance Apology page or to the main site of Friendster.
Though I might admit, I'm not an active member of the social site, I just visit there to read up messages and accept/reject friendly invitations and seldom post bulletins which are rarely related whatsoever to the site and those related with it. Second from the last time I checked, I have my list of friends deleted. One member even sent me a personal message telling me how pissed off she was that all of her hundreds of friends just went out like that, and all that hardwork and sacrifice she put into it just went into waste. But with that in mind, it is still plain annoying, to make you wonder what had happened internally. Is there a system bug? Was it cracked? Are they upgrading? I don't know. What I'm pretty aware of is it isn't nice to encounter such things.
Yes, I'm pretty much aware it has grown immensely, since it had been introduced back in 2002, I think. Most especially here in the Philippines where almost every internet surfer has his own account, from young kids to old adults, name them.
Just minutes ago, I checked in and the site is already fine. It's already responding fast, layout is back to normal, and my friends list have been restored. I wish the next time something like this happen, Friendster should let us know, probably just a simple text page on their address would be fine.
Whew. Back to normal. Thanks. ^_^

Verse of the Day: Proverbs 22:6
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
Christmas is a great opportunity to start teaching children about Jesus. You can find ways to teach them the story of how and why Jesus was born and the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior. For example, you can read stories from the Bible or children's books appropriate for their level of understanding, you can sing Christmas carols and talk about their origins, or you can use a nativity scene and other decorations, like a star to explain what they represent. Make the most of this occasion to share Jesus with your family.

VR Hackathon Update: 360° and Growing
Here is a quick post to share some cool VR Hackathon news and info on upcoming events.
360° video of the Oct. 2014 event
The MindVR team was cool enough to shoot the October 2014 event in 360° video and then post it on Vrideo, an immersive video platform. I need to dive deeper into Vrideo and its features, but at a glance it seems to be a platform for hosting and viewing 360° video that is also VR enabled. Once you start the video below, left click and hold to grab the video and move your mouse to look around. This video on mobile devices requires you turn with the device to look around.*if the above embed doesn't work here is a link to the video.
The Growing Community
With the success of the last event here in San Francisco and the growing interest by developers and designers of immersive technologies to have a weekend of creating and building, the VR Hackathon is expanding to new locations and age groups. There are events this year planned for San Francisco, Seattle, Cameroon, South Africa, and Albania. Check out the website for more details on upcoming events.
Also, the first VR Hackathon MINI for grade school students and young adults will be held in New Jersey this May. This event, initiated by tech savvy teachers, will give students in grades 5th-8th a full day of creating virtual and mixed reality content via tools like Minecraft, PlayingMondo, and Unity3D. I may get the chance to participate in this event as a guest so I am super excited to see what the next wave of VR creators will make.
That is all to share for now but what a start to an event that kicked off just six months ago.

S&W M&P Dovetail Front Sight, Tritium, for all M&P models.
Our front sights are made from hardened 4140 bar stock for improved durability. Dovetail base is oversized for fitting, in order to accommodate the wide variation in production dimensions. Blade face is serrated 40lpi.
Finished in black salt bath nitrocarburizing, equivalent to the factory finish on the slide, for superior hardness and corrosion resistance.
Plain green .075" tritium insert with no white outline.
***DUE TO THE WIDE VARIATION IN M&P DOVETAIL SIZES, OUR SIGHTS ARE OVERSIZED AND WILL REQUIRE SOME FITTING. The sights are finished in black salt bath nitrocarburizing, which produces a hard surface finish similar to the factory slide, and will not respond to a normal file. We suggest using a diamond hone or file. If you are not familiar with how to properly fit and install a dovetail sight, we suggest that you seek the services of a *qualified* gunsmith. We are not liable for damage to the sights resulting from improper installation.

hpr1542 :: Agnes is an IT LawyerReleased on 2014-07-01 under a CC-BY-SA license.
Today on Hacker Public Radio, we will talk to an IT lawyer about the new EU regulations regarding personal data.
"One thing I think you should be aware of is a principle called 'Privacy by Design and Privacy by Default'!"
-- Agnes
IT Solutions Expo 2014
In April 2014 I visited the "IT Solutions Expo" at the conference centre known as "The Swedish Fair" in Gothenburg. The tagline of the IT Solutions Expo was "The fair that shows you how to make money on tomorrow's IT solutions".
So a lot of corporate propaganda and sales people. To be totally honest, I hesitated going there. But I am glad I did. There where some really interesting talks concerning privacy and technology that I would not have liked to miss.
Agnes Andersson Hammarstrand, IT Lawyer
The real highlight of the fair was the talk by Agnes Andersson Hammarstrand, a lawyer specialised in information technology. She covered the new laws that will come to pass in the European Union regarding how we are allowed to handle personal data.
I was very happy that she was willing to give a short interview for Hacker Public Radio.
It is interesting to see that it is not only consumers who are starting to think that information about us should be kept safe, it is also slowly becoming the law. If your work in or with companies in the European Union, this is definitely a heads-up, something to take notice of. In a couple of years time you must be ready to follow the new legislation.
In her talk Agnes also mentioned that companies should have someone who is responsible for privacy issues. Perhaps this is an opportunity for the HPR listeners? Most of you probably feel that this is an important topic already, so why not make it a part of your job description?
You find all the relevant links down below. If you want to send feedback or get in touch with either Agnes or me, please do not hesitate to do so. If you have any thoughts on the subject at hand or regarding the show, use any of the means below and speak your mind.

hpr1458 :: Free Culture and Open AnimationReleased on 2014-03-05 under a CC-BY-SA license.
This interview with Julia Velkova and Konstantin Dimitriev will shed some light on free culture, open animation, Synfig Studio and the Russian animé being developed by the Morevna Project. Today, on Hacker Public Radio.
"Support Open Animation projects! Because they cary a lot of potential for inovation."
-- Julia
FSCONS 2012: "Open animation projects: state of the art, problems and perspectives"
We all know of the Blender Projects, like Elephants Dream, Big Buck Bunny and Sintel, but do you know of any more? Creating an animated movie is hard. Many enthusiasts start projects up that soon thereafter unfortunately die off.
The state of this area of interest is what Julia Velkova has concentrated her research on. At FSCONS 2012 she gave the first part of a presentation, painting a picture of the state of matters, then followed by open animator Konstantin Dimitriev who introduced both the Morevna Project and the free and open source tool Synfig Studio.
At this presentation Konstantin showed the premiere trailer for his animé movie "The Beautiful Queen Marya Morevna", a modernized version of a traditional Russian tale. Both the trailer and Julia and Konstantins presentations are available on YouTube.
Konstantin has used indiegogo to crowdfund a full time developer for Synfig Studio. He wrote: "I am mentoring a full-time developer Ivan Mahonin, who is working on Synfig code. We have funded his work in previous months by running similar fundraising campaigns for October, November, December, January and February." So go help them with the rest of 2014 as well!
Go help the Morevna Project and Synfig Studio, follow both Julia and Konstantin on Twitter to get updates on this very interesting part of the free and open community that I suspect we sometimes might forget.

hpr1428 :: Coffee Stain Studios and the Sanctum gamesReleased on 2014-01-22 under a CC-BY-SA license.
Do you know the Sanctum games? You should! Listen to Armin from Coffee Stain Studios on todays episode of Hacker Public Radio!
"We're actually working on Linux support. *pause* I don't know if I'm supposed to say that."
-- Armin
Coffee Stain Studios
In 2010 a few students from the University of Skövde created the Indie game developing company "Coffee Stain Studios". In 2011 they released the game "Sanctum" on Steam, and in May of 2013 they released "Sanctum 2". These games are most often described as a mix between First-person shooter and Tower defense. You find yourself in a futuristic setting, fighting aliens with a fair bit of humor. The player chooses how much resources to distribute on automatic towers or his or her own weapons. Both games featured the possibility to collaborate with your friends to beat the levels.
One of the founders, Armin Ibrisagic, was at DreamHack in November 2013, where I got a chance to talk to him.
"What is DreamHack?" you ask? Only the world's largest computer festival, held multiple times a year in Jönköping, Sweden. According to Wikipedia "It holds the world record (as recognized by the Guinness Book of Records and Twin Galaxies) for the world's largest LAN party and computer festival, and has held the record for the world's fastest Internet connection, and the record in most generated traffic."
I also got an interview with one of the organizers of DreamHack, but that you will hear another day. Today we focus on Sanctum, and how the market looks for smaller game developers.

hpr1423 :: Monty - The man behind your databasesReleased on 2014-01-15 under a CC-BY-SA license.
Listen to the man who created the database YOU use every day, today on Hacker Public Radio.
"There's no reasons to use MySQL anymore."
-- Monty
Michael Widenius at FSCONS 2013
A couple of months ago I attended FSCONS 2013. There I met Michael "Monty" Widenius, the driving force behind both MySQL and MariaDB. This is a guy who loves being a developer and he loves Open Source software. He named MySQL after his daughter My, and the new fork MariaDB got its name from his other daughter Maria.
Monty was invited to FSCONS 2013 to give a speech entitled "The MySQL and MariaDB story", and the synopsis on fscons.org says:"The story of how MySQL was created, why it was successful and how it grew until it was sold to Sun, who was then overtaken by Oracle.-- https://frab.fscons.org/en/fscons13/public/events/51
It will also cover how and why MariaDB was created and what we are doing to ensure that there will always be a free version of MySQL (under the name of MariaDB).
The talk will also explain the challenges we have had to do this fork, especially the merge with MySQL 5.5, and the various systems (like buildbot) that we used to build the binaries and how we are working with the MariaDB/MySQL community."
That presentation can be found on YouTube, and I encourage you all to have a look at it. "Michael Monty Widenius: The MySQL and MariaDB story": http://youtu.be/JxyBNdwmpzM
If you have not yet made the switch to MariaDB, now is the time!
Monty also asks everyone who uses MariaDB to activate the anonymous plug-in, so that the developers might know what to focus their attention on.
If you wish to look Monty in the eyes, you have the opportunity to do so, as this interview was video recorded and will be released on YouTube or similar. Follow All In IT Radio on Google+, Twitter and Identi.ca for updates on when that will be released.

hpr1403 :: hiro from GamingGrannar at RetrospelsmässanReleased on 2013-12-18 under a CC-BY-SA license.
Today on Hacker Public Radio, we will talk about old games, and interview an expert from Sweden.
"GamingGrannar" and "Spelklassiker Musik"
In 2012, the Swedish gaming community "Level 7" voted for the blog Gaminggrannar to become "Gaming Blog of the year". Gaminggrannar (or "Gaming Neighbours") consists of David "Dave" Boström, Emelie "Ekken" Karlsson and Andreas "hiro" Karlsson.
Dave won the Swedish Championship in Nintendo, in 2003, and has a great Metroid collection. Ekken is an acomplished gamer, creates edible game cakes and also has a newly started collection of games with pink cartridges. hiro can be recognized by his retro game inspired tatoos, and is known for his love for series like Mega Man X and Castlevania.
Together the three neighbours release a video blog about everything and anything gaming related, but often with a focus on older games.
The podcast that hiro hosts together with Tobias Jensen, a NES and Amiga 500 gamer who wished he had more time for games, hit the 200th episode in november 2013.
hiro and I met at Retrospelsmässan 2013. This retro game convention is on its fourth year, and has grown considerably. Now in the second largest exhibition hall in Gothenburg, with roughly 2.000 visitors, and a three hour queue to get in. Competitions in old games, buy retrogames and consoles, cosplay competition, and so on. "Retrospelsmässan is a yearly event with focus on consoles and computers that was released before the year 2000." -- Markus Swerlander, one of the organisers.
The date for the 2014 edition of Retrospelsmässan is already set, saturday the 3rd of may in Eriksbergshallen, Gothenburg.
"Game and have fun!"

Inspirational stories told on the road
A few months ago I went on a longer trip, alone in my car. As many podcasters before me, I decided to record an episode. An episode I almost immediately forgot about. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, when I once again found the recording. It sounded quite bad, but after some sound wizardry I think it can pass for an HPR show. The content is where it's at, after all.

hpr1087 :: The FSCONS of Jonas ÖbergReleased on 2012-10-02 under a CC-BY-SA license.
At the conference FSCONS I have a talk with both Henrik (who has no previous experience of FSCONS) and Jonas (who organise the conference). Two very different perspectives and a few completing comments from me.
Henrik mentioned the two All In IT Radio episodes "Assembly Overclocked" where he told us of his experiences from the demo party Assembly and "Should Cars Get Smarter?" where we talk about Qt, In Vehicle Infotainment and such. The later show was featured as episode 0854 on Syndicated Thursday on Hacker Public Radio. We also referenced Jeremiah Foster, Johan Thelin and Mathias Klang
When Jonas mentions "Henrik", he does not mean the Henrik of All In IT Radio fame, but rather Henrik Sandklef who sits on the board of "Föreningen fri kultur och programvara".

hpr0860 :: Kaizendo, GNU Parallel and some more FSCONSReleased on 2011-11-18 under a CC-BY-SA license.
Interviews and a look at FSCONS 2011
Today you will hear two interviews from FSCONS 2010. The audio is of "conference quality", that is, there are a lot of noice in the background. Not much to do about that, I am sorry. But it is two really great interviews, so well worth it!
But as a start I have a look at what will take place during the coming FSCONS 2011, that will start 2011-11-11 and continue through the whole weekend. I read from the schedule, and mention some of the topics and presenters who will be there.
Salve J. Nilsen - Kaizendo: Customizable schoolboks
Imagine a schoolbook where the pupil and her teacher can choose the topic depth, clarity of text and homework difficulty as needed and necessary.
Add alternatives for teachers (supporting different instructional methods, teaching styles), schools (variations in chapter content based on time constraints or policy) and parents (having a topic summary to read before helping with homework.) This is what we mean with customizable textbooks.
Ole Tange - GNU Parallel
GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel.
Shameless plugs

Learn the art of 'trencadís' mosaic devised by Antoni Gaudí and discover all the secrets as you create your own mosaics. Come and enjoy the Gaudí experience on these workshops for adults, families and children in the centre of Barcelona.
During the workshop, you'll learn how to handle tools, choose your design and colours and create your first work in 'trencadís'. You'll learn the technique and take away with you a very special and unique reminder of Gaudí's Barcelona.
The length of the workshop depends on the type of object you want to make and the complexity of your drawing. It will take two hours to make a photo frame, an elephant, a heart or a salamander; three hours to make a coat of arms, a larger photo frame, a mirror; or four hours to make a large mirror or place mat. Children aged 4 to 10 will have lots of fun making a mosaic of their choice during an 1h30-long workshop where they'll learn how to prepare the materials, choose the colours and create their design. And they'll all be able to take their mosaic home with them!.
The artist has received the diploma "Master Artisan and Educator" due to the excellent quality of her work and for bringing the trencadís technique to a wider audience.
