http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2001/06/14-minutes.html 14 June 2001 WCAG WG telecon Summary · Everyone is encouraged to create a list of questions to ask David about usability testing of WCAG 2.0. At the F2F, he will give a presentation on his proposal, and then we will discuss it. · Compiling an FAQ from recent threads from the WCAG and IG mailing lists would be useful. At the F2F we will begin ciphering through archives for questions and answers and discuss how to proceed in the future. · The FAQ will likely feed directly into the techniques documents. · The AU WG still has open issues for us from AERT. These are documented in the · issues list for AERT. These will likely be answered by the HTML Techniques. · We concluded that we would not specifically discuss checkpoint 2.4 at the F2F since we should reserve that time for larger issues. The larger issue that it relates to is testability and placing qualifications on checkpoints. · William suggests that everyone take a look at the · XML Accessibility Guidelines as a guidelines for guidelines. How to write good guidelines. What ours should fit into. Participants · William · Jenae · Loretta · Matt · Jason · Wendy · Katie · Gregg · Charles Regrets · Cynthia F2F Agenda WL Phone situation? WC Not sure yet, Daniel working on. WL JW and GV attending by phone? WC Yes. JW WC hosting WC Please bring questions for David, particularly what questions do you want answered and what questions do you have on process. WL Is part of this testing usability of guidelines for people writing sites? WC Right, how usable are the guidelines not how usable are sites that are produced using the guidelines. WC Clarifying WCAG 1.0 - on agenda for F2F? Had discussed a while ago. JW Need a subgroup to volunteer to write it. Clear dimensions of its scope. WC Therefore goal of that discussion is to define scope and find people work on. CMN People are coming along with concrete solutions and examples. We discuss but don't come to clear consensus. We need to go through the questions that we already have. Bring them up and say "can we agree that one of these is the answer?" WC Dig through archives at the meeting or before? CMN do it before, but I'm not going to. KHS Going over the same questions. WC List divided into 3 month chunks KHS Not same e-mail, same questions. CMN DOn't see a problem in that. WL It may be that the process of doing the FAQ is the road to improving techniques. JW If it is an issue related to specific technology, then those should be directed to subgroups. Resolved in the context of 2.0. WC Find hands on, people doing work very useful. Perhaps part of dividing up into techniques. WL ORganizing FAQ a way to get stuff for technique. CMN Yes a consequence. The crucial thing is that lots of people implementing, people getting stuck. KHS Who be there? /* WC reads 12 names */ CMN Risk of too much breaking up, lots of people knowing a chunk and everyone knowing only little chunk. WC Yes, but if say at the end, "here are the 5 questions we came up with. these 4 are not answered.etc." CMN - AU specific questions. CMN AERT issues. Part of agenda of AU F2F in Boston. Checkpoint 2.4 WC Status? JW GV has proposal, go through guidelines, determine clarifications of reasonableness. On agenda for the F2F next week. WC Part of the testability discussion next week? JW Yes. WL Originally, "give users control..." hasn't gotten any clearer. JW WL action item to go through guidelines and which need clarification. WL Thought I had fulfilled. Put it to the list. WC How do we move it forward? WL Several revised languages for it. No one has voted. GV We should probably try to condense it. Perhaps leave it until after F2F. Don't think there is controversy. Sit down with wording then walk it through phone call and close it out. Think F2F for bigger issues. JW Yes, though larger issue of where qualifications are needed is the kind of question to discuss at the meeting. WL People should look at public version of XML guidelines as guidelines for guidelines. How to write good guidelines. What ours should fit into. They will not be recommendation, not as constrained by process. $Date: 2001/06/14 21:56:35 $ Wendy Chisholm -- wendy a chisholm world wide web consortium web accessibility initiative seattle, wa usa tel: +1 206.706.5263 /--Received on Thursday, 14 June 2001 17:57:35 UTC

The global freight transport and logistics Group, Panalpina, significantly increased its net forwarding revenue in the first quarter 2008 compared to the first quarter 2007 by 9.2%, currency adjusted even by 15.3%. The gross profit was with -2.2% slightly behind, however currency adjusted 3.1% above the previous year's first quarter. With -39.7%, net earnings, impacted by events in Nigeria, were considerably below the first quarter 2007. In order to achieve an even more direct and customer-focused market approach, the Board of Directors has unanimously approved CEO Monika Ribar's application to enhance the company's management structures and to extend the Executive Board from five to seven functions.
'In a changing global market with increasingly complex customer requirements, short reaction times and structures enabling flexible decisions are core elements for success,' states CEO Monika Ribar. 'With the new management structure, to be implemented with immediate effect, we consequently continue on our path to be customer-focused and very close to the market,' she further explains. In order to build up even closer ties to customers' business, the function Product & Procurement is now represented in the Executive Board. In addition, as a strategic management instrument, Human Resources is also a newly established Executive Board function. All the new Executive Board positions have been filled by highly qualified members of management from within the Group.
Monika Ribar has acknowledged his major achievements and explained that, 'For many years he has considerably contributed to the development of the company.'
The Panalpina Group significantly increased its net forwarding revenue in the first quarter 2008 compared to the first quarter 2007 by 9.2%, currency adjusted by 15.3%. All regions have contributed to the pure organic growth. While Central- and South America, Asia/Pacific and Europe/Africa/Middle East/CIS increased their net forwarding revenues by more than eight percent, North America's growth, impacted by the weak dollar, was only three percent. The Group's contribution margin (gross profit) was slightly behind with -2.2% but currency adjusted 3.1% above the previous year's result.
In its core activities the Panalpina Group outperformed compared to the market. In ocean freight volume growth increased by 14% (market growth at six percent to seven percent). The airfreight tonnage increased by 4.4% (market growth at three percent to four percent). In view of the high fuel price a certain shift from air freight to ocean freight was observed.

Today, February 29th, is leap day. What exactly does this mean? Every four years there is a year in which February has an extra day. These years are called leap years. So people who are born on one of the few February 29ths will technically age at one quarter the speed of a person born on any other day. So if you were born on February 29th on a leap year and you are 16 years old, you are technically only four years old. 2016 is a leap year and to celebrate snapchat released a filter. This filter is a celebration of a day that only occurs once every four years. The leap year snapchat filter will be used by people all over the world who want to let people know about the day, or just see a new snapchat filter and decide that they want to add it to their snaps. No matter the motive, this filter will definitely be used heavily today. Below you will find a description of the leap year snapchat filter as well as a brief tutorial on how to apply the leap year 2016 snapchat filter to your posts.
Leap Year 2016 Snapchat Filter Overview
The leap year 2016 snapchat filter is one that we will not have any chance of seeing again for at least four years. The leap year filter is very clean. The filter consists of a number of multi colored sky divers falling from the sky. This is representative of the fact that they have leaped from a plane, which plays along to the leap year theme. The sky divers bodies are made of arrows and their arms and legs are dangling. The filter also contains a number of clouds at the top of the filter as well as a yellow sun that is shining in the upper right hand corner. At the bottom of the filter there are four more white fluffy clouds as well as some text. The bold blue text reads "Leap Year" this is because the filter was released on leap day of the leap year 2016. The next line of text reminds us of the year of the leap day and reads "2016" in red text.
How to Get The Leap Year 2016 Snapchat Filter
To apply the leap year 2016 snapchat filter to your snapchat posts you will need to make sure that you have an internet connection either through wifi or data service. Next you will need to take a snap picture or video that you would like to apply the leap year filter to. Once you have taken the video or picture you will simply swipe to the left until you see the leap year snapchat filter applied to your posts. Now you can either apply more filters or draw on your snap as well.

Unfancied Wigan Athletic shocked Manchester City 2-1 on Sunday to deliver one of the most stunning FA Cup upsets in recent memory.
Free-scoring City were expected to exact a measure of revenge for their Cup final defeat to the Latics last May when the two teams squared off at the Etihad.
However, Uwe Rosler's side had other ideas and the Premier League heavyweights were stunned as Jordi Gomez and James Perch gave the holders a 2-0 lead.
Samir Nasri pulled one back on 68 minutes, but the Championship outfit held firm to dump Manuel Pellegrini's expensively assembled squad out of the running for the quadruple.
Feeling inspired by the upset, we've put together a list of the top 10 biggest FA Cup upsets of all time.
Mirror Online's top 10 biggest FA Cup upsets
10) Nuneaton 1-1 Middlesbrough
Steve McClaren had some bleak moments at Middlesbrough before stepping up to become England manager - and this was one of his worst against the Conference North side in 2006.
There was little hint of a surprise, however, when Gaizka Mendieta put the Barclays Premier League side ahead with a superb free-kick.
Nuneaton hit back to equalise late on when Gez Murphy scored from the penalty spot after a handball from Gareth Southgate. Middlesbrough won the replay 5-2.
9) Manchester United 0-0 Exeter
Former Old Trafford trainee Andy Taylor squandered two chances that would have given the Nationwide Conference side an astonishing victory in 2005.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson took time out to offer his managerial counterpart Alex Inglethorpe his congratulations at the final whistle.
"I am incredibly proud of the team, not just for the way we played but the way we have conducted ourselves throughout the build-up," said Inglethorpe. United won the replay 2-0.
8) Shrewsbury 2-1 Everton
Languishing near the bottom of the Football League in early 2003, Shrewsbury turned the form book on its head thanks to two goals from Nigel Jemson.
He smashed home a 38th-minute free-kick and then, after substitute Niclas Alexandersson had levelled on the hour, glanced an 89th-minute header past Richard Wright to seal a famous victory.
But that was the only highlight of the season for Shrewsbury, who were relegated to the Nationwide Conference that May.
7) Burnley 0-1 Wimbledon
This game in 1975 marked Wimbledon's arrival as a team capable of causing a shock or two because of their feisty attitude.
They had barely started their remarkable journey from the Southern League to the top flight but were already making waves.
Micky Mahon stunned Burnley to grab the winner but the hero was goalkeeper Dicky Guy, who made a string of superb saves.
6) Liverpool 0-1 Wimbledon
Dave Beasant became the first goalkeeper to lift the FA Cup after famously saving a penalty from striker John Aldridge in the 1988 final.
That proved to be the turning point in a game that was expected to be no more than a stroll in the park for Liverpool.
But Wimbledon, true to form, scrapped and battled for every ball, with Lawrie Sanchez heading the winner following a free-kick from Dennis Wise.
5) Sunderland 1-0 Leeds
Forget Wimbledon beating Liverpool - the Dons had finished just six places below the Reds in the Division One table that season after all - for a real Cup final upset you had to go back to 1973 when Second Division Sunderland took on the might of Don Revie's Leeds side.
Sunderland stunned their illustrious counterparts to lift the famous trophy, running out 1-0 winners thanks jointly to Ian Porterfield's first-half strike and the heroics of goalkeeper Jim Montgomery - who manager Bob Stokoe ran to congratulate at the final whistle.
4) Bournemouth 2-0 Manchester United
Even back in 1984 Harry Redknapp was making headlines. In his first job as boss of Third Division Bournemouth Harry masterminded a 2-0 win over the Cup holders Manchester United - then managed by Big Ron Atkinson - at Dean Court.
"We don't get many days like this in Bournemouth," said Harry after the match.
3) Sutton 2-1 Coventry
Coventry arrived in Surrey just 18 months after winning the 1987 FA Cup and were riding high in the top flight. It appeared to be a case of 'no contest' against the non-league team.
But they were left stunned as Tony Rains and Matthew Hanlan became the goalscoring heroes for a team fashioned by English teacher Barrie Williams.
Both Rains and Hanlan became instant celebrities, both appearing on Terry Wogan's chat show the following Monday.
2) Wrexham 2-1 Arsenal
In 1992 the Gunners were the reigning league champions, Wrexham were bottom of the old fourth division - there was only going to be one result at the Racecourse Ground.
Arsenal had taken the lead through Alan Smith but, with 10 minutes to go, 37-year-old Mickey Thomas unleashed a 25-yard free-kick past David Seaman for the equaliser.
The Welsh side could sense an upset and Steve Watkin popped up late on to score the winner and send their illustrious opponents crashing out.
1) Hereford 2-1 Newcastle
The Southern League side had earned a glorious 2-2 draw at St James' Park in February 1972 and were given little chance of emulating that feat in the replay.
It was all going to plan when Newcastle took the lead in a game that had been blighted by bad weather.
But Hereford grew stronger as the match went on and Ronnie Radford equalised with a 40-yard thunderbolt to take the game into extra time. Then Ricky George hit the winner.

World hunger. Climate change. Crumbling infrastructure. It's clear that in today's era of fiscal constraints and political gridlock, we can no longer turn to government alone to tackle these and other towering social problems. What's required is a new, more collaborative and productive economic system. The Solution Revolution brings hope - revealing just such a burgeoning new economy where players from across the spectrum of business, government, philanthropy, and social enterprise converge to solve big problems and create public value.
By erasing public-private sector boundaries, the solution economy is unlocking trillions of dollars in social benefit and commercial value. Where tough societal problems persist, new problem solvers are crowdfunding, ridesharing, app-developing, or impact-investing to design innovative new solutions for seemingly intractable problems. Providing low-cost health care, fighting poverty, creating renewable energy, and preventing obesity are just a few of the tough challenges that also represent tremendous opportunities for those at the vanguard of this movement. They create markets for social good and trade solutions instead of dollars to fill the gap between what government can provide and what citizens need.
So what drives the solution economy? Who are these new players and how are their roles changing? How can we grow the movement? And how can we participate?
Deloitte's William D. Eggers and Paul Macmillan answer these questions and more, and they introduce us to the people and organizations driving the revolution - from edgy social enterprises growing at a clip of 15 percent a year, to megafoundations, to Fortune 500 companies delivering social good on the path to profit. Recyclebank, RelayRides, and LivingGoods are just a few of the innovative organizations you'll hear about in this audiobook.

Several projects have been completed and more are in the works at Batavia Local Schools to increase safety of students.
Board of education members began looking into what could be done to increase safety on the campuses after the school shooting that took place in Connecticut.
Superintendent Jill Grubb said several of the projects have been completed including fencing around the modular classrooms at the elementary school.
"It looks fantastic," Batavia Elementary School Principal Renee Munro said about the new fencing.
The fencing was installed between the modulars connecting to fencing around an outdoor playground behind the school.
Previously, an individual could access the modular rooms by walking around the school.
With the fencing installed, visitors must go through the front office and through the school to access the modular rooms.
T.J. Glassmeyer, assistant principal at Batavia Middle School, said several projects are also underway at the middle school.
He said they have upgraded video surveillance cameras and are working to replace the doors in the breezeway.
Michael Ashmore, treasurer for the district, said they will also be adding a second set of doors at the middle school to force people to come through the office before entering the school.
Ashmore said they are looking at re-configuring the high school entrance to accomplish the same thing, but the project will require more construction.
He said they will soon be hiring an architect for the new building that could help with that project.
"Once we get an architect onboard we will have them look at the high school," Ashmore said
Ashmore said all of the projects except for the high school will likely cost the district around $30,000.
He said they will be able to use permanent improvement funds, including $44,000 received from casino revenue, to pay for the safety upgrades.
In addition, Board of Education President Scott Runck said the school district has been working closely with the Village of Batavia Police Department at the Clermont County Sheriff's Office.
"Police officers are making rounds," Runck said.

"At the beginning of August, silver was trading around $27.00 an ounce. It has now reached $34.00 an ounce—a $7.00 increase, which was a 26% gain," reports Lombardi.
Past News ReleasesRSS
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 29, 2012
According to Michael Lombardi, financial expert and lead contributor to Profit Confidential, since speculation about the third round of quantitative easing (QE3) by the Federal Reserve started to come into the markets, silver prices started to climb. Lombardi reports that silver has great upside potential and could be following gold bullion in sync; but he believes it may also outperform in percentage gain.
In the article "Didn't Get into Gold Early Enough? This Other Metal's Your Second Chance," Lombardi states that, in the past few weeks, silver prices have increased significantly. While he concedes that gold bullion prices have done the same, he notes that by looking at the percentages of these increases, you can see that silver prices have outperformed gold bullion.
"At the beginning of August, silver was trading around $27.00 an ounce. It has now reached $34.00 an ounce—a $7.00 increase, which was a 26% gain," reports Lombardi.
During the same time period, he adds, gold bullion climbed $176.50 an ounce to $1,776.50—that's an increase of little more than 11%—still better than the key stock indices such as the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100; but less than silver.
"Just like gold bullion, silver prices were correcting after a long run-up (maybe waiting for the official QE3 announcement) and investors were hesitant to take the price higher," reasons Lombardi. "Since hitting highs around $50.00 an ounce in April 2011, silver traded in a downward trading channel; trickling as low as $26.15 an ounce."
Remember, there will be pullbacks as the price of silver rises, warns Lombardi; he sees every pullback as a buying opportunity.
"The tides are turning in the silver market and there are still good opportunities available in the stocks of quality junior silver producers," concludes Lombardi.
Profit Confidential, which has been published for over a decade now, has been widely recognized as predicting five major economic events over the past 10 years. In 2002, Profit Confidential started advising its readers to buy gold-related investments when gold traded under $300 an ounce. In 2006, it "begged" its readers to get out of the housing market... before it plunged.
Profit Confidential was among the first (back in late 2006) to predict that the U.S. economy would be in a recession by late 2007. The daily e-letter correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009. And Profit Confidential turned bullish on stocks in March of 2009 and rode the bear market rally from a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 6,440 on March 9, 2009, to 12,876 on May 2, 2011, a gain of 99%.

re: updates
in my homegrown solution i do this:
all data goes into _PROFILE into one of 3 structures: _text , _array , _hash
when i update an object, information goes into _SUBMITTED , into the same structure
i compare _SUBMITTED to _PROFILE. if a field is different, it gets tossed into an update clause
once the db commits, _SUBMITTED fields are copried to _PROFILE
i also cache/session all objects based on _PROFILE, not on the class. this way i can use multiple languages to handle the same objects , and get a bit more flexibility
re: loads a_ create a 'listing' class that just loads the info you want b_ load everything at once, store in memcached w/a timeout.
