The "human scale" in public urban areas
Slideshow: Reimagining a park, a river, and other public spaces in Seoul (Photos by Judy Zheng Jia / World Bank)
, Executive Director of the UN-HABITAT at the Habitat III Conference last month. But more than being "ugly," the lack of good public urban spaces, such as open spaces, parks, and public buildings, often contribute to low livability in many of the world's congested and polluted cities. In fact, the importance of the issue received recognition in SDG 11, Target 7, which calls for the provision of "universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green, and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons, and persons with disabilities," by 2030.
Global experience shows that disconnected, social mixing, civic participation, recreation, safety, and a sense of belonging, ultimately contributing to urban prosperity. Well-designed and well-managed public spaces also offer benefits to environmental sustainability, transport efficiency, and public health improvements, and can equally serve women, the disabled, and people of all ages.
The importance of good urban spaces was the topic of an international workshop—"Vitalizing Cities with Public Space"—held in Seoul on November 14-17, 2016 and co-hosted by the Korea Research Institute of Human Settlements and the World Bank's Urbanscapes Group. Eight cities from around the world—Seoul, Singapore, Buenos Aires, Chongqing, Kakamega, Zanzibar, Astana, and Tashkent—participated to discuss challenges and opportunities for better urban planning and design.

Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?dazed Mar 14, 2012 4:40 AM
I'm new to Seam and liking the look of the Persistence mechanism. For the view/presentation side I am using a library which is based around HttpServlet i.e. not JSF based.
I'm using JBoss AS 7 and Seam 3.1.0.Final
When I put these together with my Servlet library and get to the first method marked "@Begin" I get an exception because I don't have a ConversationScoped Context defined. I confess, I half expected something like this.
org.jboss.weld.context.ContextNotActiveException: WELD-001303 No active contexts for scope type javax.enterprise.context.ConversationScoped
I tried a variation of the suggestion in <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4828504/how-to-inject-conversationscoped-beans-in-a-servlet> but found that no ConversationContext was set (null pointer).
Again I half expected this not to work, as I clearly haven't set anything in the http headers for the "cid" part.
I've also tried following some of the setup for Seam Booking example it uses
and hence starts to drag in faces stuff - I get this compiled but then get a Weld Deployment Exception
org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DeploymentException: WELD-001409 Ambiguous dependencies for type [ELContext] with qualifiers [@Default] at injection point [[parameter 1] of [c
onstructor] @Inject public org.jboss.solder.el.Expressions(ELContext, ExpressionFactory)]. Possible dependencies [[Producer Method [ELContext] with qualifiers [@Any @Default] decla
red as [[method] @Produces org.jboss.seam.solder.el.ELContextProducer.createELContext()], Producer Method [ELContext] with qualifiers [@Any @Default] declared as [[method] @Produce
s org.jboss.solder.el.ELContextProducer.createELContext()]]]
So my questions are:
1) Am I trying to do something that Seam Persistence is not designed for? I see lot's of references which all point to JSF. Is it intimately linked with JSF?
2) Is there parts of the Seam Library that I can use at App Startup, Session Startup and/or on each Request so that ConversationContext (and other required Contexts) are set?
I can post other stuff from my application, but I'm not looking to get anyone to debug my app - just a pointer to a good example of Seam Persistence without JSF and/or a good manual.

Story about global warming again on the news.
The gods have the freedom to rapidly accelerate global warming because of unregulated Chinese industrialization. And they are using it.
Whereas US industrial regulation combined with automotive smog devices had contained, the shameful emmissions at the hand of Italian capital which financed this chinese growth will ultimately kill our planet.
The gods must abjectly hate the Italians:::They ruined our cultures, eliminating Old Worlds around the globe, they destroyed our societies and now they will be used to ruin the planet.
Intelligent design:::Everything the gods do has purpose. There was purpose in the Italian boot, the Scandanavian penis, the sheep of Europe and the SFBA Beast. Chinese/Asian slanted eyes is yet another. Designed to make them/some look evil, they are a warning to other races. What is occurring with enviornmental degredation is living proof.
Never forget the shameful experience we each had in 2008 when the Chinese desperately tried to clean up the envionment in Beijing.
Recall the $5 trillion Republican scam where W set up the evil Democrats to sign the credit card receipt.
Expect some portion of the $5 trillion stolen from the United States creatively went to the Catholic Church, positioned to bitterly complain they lost their affluent white parishoners for poor Latinos and this is all their doing anyways.
I always suspected there has been a skim on the US General Fund all along and I was right. And the gods are using these clone host fakes to kill Planet Earth, financing China industrialization. The puppeteer pulling the strings, ironically.
Jesus is a false god.
There is no Satan. The world around us is all the god's doing:::You have to be tested with temptation.
Christianity is a test.
Muslim misery? The gods claim they are trying to "help you". The gods control everything, choreograph all that we see, including Isreal's relationship with Palestine, an "obligation" for their money-grubbing acceptance of the Evil Empire's billions. They also control the Italians, victims of the Moorish invasion/rape of their women, positioned in charge of this false reality through Christianity.
The gods created all this to position this reality you experience today.
"Earning" is temptation. It is a lie leading people into Damnation. Any hope of the Muslim world regaining the power they once had is long since over and it will never, ever return. Their acts 0f terrorism are only hurting them in the eyes of the gods.
The gods claim they are trying to "help you", but they also stoked your pride with your regional superpower status of centuries ago, rendering their efforts today merely destructive, a very bad sign. This means the gods have major problems with your people.
Never forget:::The gods work in mysterious ways. A mortal trying to understand may envoke their wrath. You shouldn't need to.
I believe the gods relocated the Jews to another planet before the Holocaust began to give them additional time before Earth fell into the social decay Christianity and the United States is responsible for. I suspect this favor included some/many of the Native America peoples as well.
Unfortunately for Muslims you didn't have the favor necessary to be allowed such generosity. I believe it is due to your mysogyny, your belief women are inferior to the men. This does not include veiling, which is a positive for the people and helps maintain decency within your society.
Orthodoxy is always the best course of action because, as I have repeated, old is mostly good and a little evil, while new is mostly evil and a little good. This applies to Islam as well.

Have You Heard of GOTYE's Old Band 'The Basics'?
As with any worldwide known musician, the man behind GOTYE, Wouter "Wally" De Backer, was once in a smaller much less known band. The band is called The Basics and Wally was on the drums and also did lead and backup vocals. Crazy to think he went from being the man in back to the man in front of the world with his hit song, 'Someone That I Used to Know.'
The band has released multiple albums with their most recent being The Basics in 2010. Check out the band's entire catalog here and get a free download of the entire album The Basics here
Having just discovered the band myself, I have yet to give them much listening time, but so far I like the sound of The Basics a lot. I've made a playlist of the best quality songs and videos below for you to discover the band along with me.

To be able to have movers assist weight and unload, and carry their items; has made the entire relocating job far less difficult on everyone in the family.

Looking at costs is actually one crucial option to take, but most prominently should be to be sure the company is an established and sensible just one. An organization that provides going solutions must only have bonded personnel working for them, plus an insurance policies which will take care of harms for any goods they carry.

To better know who
These companies can be obtained from cell phone ebooks, some have even web sites you can visit.

- You are likely about to stay for many months since you get set for.

Growing up as an "army brat," Pam Scott recalled moving around the country in her youth. While her state of residence continuously changed, one thing remained constant.
"No matter where we lived my mom always had a veggie garden," Scott said.
Currently Scott is a volunteer teacher through Common Ground Organic Garden Supply and Education Center, teaching a class called "Hands-on Farming" from her Los Altos Hills home. She works alongside three other volunteers -- Julie Hyde, Deane Shokes and Anna Teeples -- focusing the class on a variety of skills from making soil to raising chickens.
Scott wasn't always so immersed in gardening. After studying industrial design at Auburn University, she became a creative ad consultant for large corporations, such as Nike. Today she primarily works with start-up and nonprofit companies.
But when she moved to Northern California in 2003, she began taking classes at Common Ground. There her love of growing fruits and vegetables bloomed.
"The class gave me a lot of confidence," Scott said. "I got my gardening mojo."
She also began writing about food, foraging and how to maintain sustainable living, serving as a contributor to Edible Magazine for the past year.
After continuous practice and work, Scott's 1-acre home is thriving with numerous greens like kale, basil and arugula as well as citrus trees. She explained a lot of her garden's success comes from maintaining great soil.
"If your soil is not thriving, nothing will grow in your garden," she said.
The key to having great soil means having a lot of worms and incorporating it with compost, she added. Scott makes compost by combining scraps from her kitchen, dryer and grass. "It feels good to bring everything back to the soil."
Scott has successfully grown more than half of the food that she and her husband eat. Some of her favorite foods grown in her garden are avocados, cherry tomatoes and pomegranate. Scott remarked that "to have a pomegranate right from the tree makes you swoon."
August, September and October are the most fruitful months out of the year for Scott's garden. Her produce then is so excessive these months that it goes from her kitchen table to people who are less fortunate.
For those who have their own gardens, Scott said, "Find a food bank near by, and take your surplus."
She explained that she gets as much out of sharing the wealth of healthy produce as watching her plants grow. Scott recalled going to the food bank and giving a little boy one of her cherry tomatoes and seeing his face light up with appreciation.
The benefits of gardening are substantial according to Scott: from saving money to savoring better-tasting, quality produce.
"The sooner you can eat a tomato (for example) after it being picked the better it is," she said, adding that type of quality cannot be found at a grocery store.
Aside from tending to her garden, Scott also has a chicken coop, which produces a number of fresh eggs. She explained that she is not yet "an expert chicken mama," but she is continuing to learn how to raise them and maintain a clean environment.
Now with five years of teaching under her belt, Scott still considers herself just as much a student as a teacher. She remembers loving learning about gardening from her mother growing up. There is always something new to learn and different things to try, according to Scott. The current drought has afforded one of those learning experiences.
"I am figuring out how little I can water my plants and seeing how much food I can get without stressing them out in this drought," she said.
The class is broken up into four sections, in which students have the opportunity to rotate and try different learning activities. There are activities based on raising chickens, making compost and doing straw-bale gardening, in which soil is not needed and plants grow in bundles of hay. The class concludes with a tour of the farm.
Scott teaches because she does it out of love and passion, she said. "I like seeing the lights go off in people, and seeing their reactions."
She admitted that gardening and farming is not simple or easy. "There is always something that doesn't grow," Scott said. "Expect failure and don't be afraid of it. ... Gardening is an exercise of humility."

The Mariner Moose made his debut on April 13, 1990, during the Mariners home opener in front of a sell-out crowd at the Kingdome. The Moose was selected as the Seattle Mariners' first-ever mascot after a contest in which more than 2,500 entries were submitted by children 14 and under from throughout the Pacific Northwest. Ammon Spiller, a fifth grader from Central Elementary School in Ferndale, WA, came up with the winning idea: "I chose the Moose because they are funny, neat and friendly. The Moose would show that the Mariners enjoy playing and that they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. It shows they're having fun no matter what the situation."
When he's not starting a slow clap for Kyle Seager or holding up his K-card for King Felix, the Mariner Moose feels most at home when he is surrounded by his favorite humans, Mariners fans! Moose loves skipping through the concourse, driving his ATV around the warning track, and leading cheers from every corner of the ball park. You will usually see Moose sporting his #00 Mariners jersey, but he's always rummaging through his costume closet looking for new outfits - Santa, Batman and Elvis are a few of his favorites - for him and his friends. Whether it's giving out hugs and high-fives or dancing on the dugout, the Moose is always full of energy. Much like his friends in the Mariners Kids Club, he has a tough time sitting still! But be warned, if the Moose sees you rooting for the visiting team, you might end up with silly string in your hair or a whipped cream pie in your face! He can be quite the prankster. From performing backflips during the opening lineup to waving the victory flag after the game's final out, there is nothing the Mariner Moose loves more than Mariners baseball!
Since his introduction more than two decades ago, the Mariner Moose has become one of the most recognized mascots in sports, entertaining millions of fans throughout the United States and abroad. In addition to entertaining Mariners fans, young and old, the Moose is proud to be a wonderful symbol of the great Northwest.
The Moose Is On the Loose
Bring the excitement of the Seattle Mariners and Major League Baseball to your next event! The Mariner Moose- the official mascot of the Seattle Mariners- is available to visit your next public or private gathering, from birthday parties to corporate functions and everything in-between!
To feature the Mariner Moose at your event, please call the Mariner Moose Scheduling Hotline at 206-346-4321. Requests may also be sent via e-mail, or by mail, to: Mariner Moose Requests, PO Box 4100, Seattle, WA 98194. Once obligations to the Seattle Mariners have been fulfilled, all appearance requests are handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Join the DREAM Team
The Mariner Moose DREAM Team is a comprehensive school assembly program aimed at elementary school-aged students. The program uses the Moose to deliver the importance of the DREAM Team principles:
- Drug-Free
- Respect Yourself & Others
- Education
- Attitude
- Motivation
For more information on bringing the Moose and his DREAM Team to your school, please send a letter of request on your school's letterhead to DREAM Team, PO Box 4100, Seattle, WA 98194.

Former U.S. Rep. Harold Ford Sr. of Memphis has paid $1.8 million for a shopping center at 1670 Sycamore View Road in Northeast Memphis.
Operating in the transaction as Harold Ford Sycamore View LLC, Ford bought the 38,487-square-foot retail center April 8 from Belz Investco GP.
Ford, who represented Memphis in Washington for 22 years, has said he intends to open a funeral services business in the shopping center that will include a chapel and the ability to watch funeral services remotely.
It will also offer a variety of options for funeral services.
Built in 1987, the Class B center sits on 6.2 acres near the intersection of Sycamore View Road and Summer Avenue. The Shelby County Assessor of Property's 2013 appraisal is $1.7 million.
The transaction also included a 12.3-acre parcel of vacant land adjacent to the center.
Its appraised value is $181,000.
Several generations of the Ford family have worked in the funeral industry including Ford who along with his brothers and sisters worked in his father's business N.J. Ford and Sons Funeral Home in South Memphis.
Ford left Congress in 1996 and became a lobbyist.
He lives in Florida.

Memphis-based discount retailer Fred's Inc. said Thursday, April 11, its March revenue at stores open at least a year fell 3 percent, hurt by unseasonably cool weather and a timing shift in the Easter holiday.
The drop was bigger than Wall Street expected. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected a decrease of 1.7 percent. The metric is a key measure of a retailer's health, because it excludes revenue at stores that recently opened or closed.
Total sales for the five-week period ended April 6, fell 2 percent to $190.4 million from $194 million.
Fred's said that as expected, cooler-than-usual weather in many parts of the country and the timing of the Easter holiday reduced March sales at its lawn and garden and seasonal departments.
The company's pharmacy department got a boost from strong prescription growth, but those gains were offset by the continued shift toward generic drugs, which resulted in lower overall pharmacy sales. The company said it expects that trend to continue throughout most of the year.
For the first two months of fiscal 2013, revenue at stores open at least a year fell 2.3 percent, while total sales edged down 1 percent to $349.4 million from $352.9 million.
Fred's operates 713 stores, including 21 franchised stores, in the southeastern U.S.

Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell said Wednesday, April 11, he is not interested in making the Memphis Animal Shelter a county government operation.
Luttrell was asked by County Commissioner Chris Thomas about the swap being proposed by several Memphis City Council members.
Luttrell said neither he nor Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. have been consulted in the talks between the council and commission.
"Do I want the animal shelter? No," Luttrell told commissioners.
City Council member Shea Flinn pitched the idea to commissioners last month in exchange for the city continuing to fund Memphis police officers in Memphis schools after city and county public schools are consolidated.
Luttrell said the animal shelter used by county government is privately operated.

Glen Alan Kyle is the 2013 recipient of the first BankTennessee John S. Wilder Law School Scholarship.
The scholarship is named in memory of former Tennessee Lt. Gov. John Wilder, a former vice chairman of BankTennessee's board of directors and one of the founders of the bank. The endowed scholarship is awarded annually to a University of Memphis third-year law student and Tennessee resident who has demonstrated a commitment to public service and to enhancing the common good.
Kyle is from Murfreesboro, and after he graduates he hopes to clerk for a judge for one year.
After that, he wants to work in elder law, bankruptcy or for a government agency.
Information technology employees of state government must re-apply for their jobs.
The administration of Gov. Bill Haslam has told IT workers statewide to submit applications if they want to keep the jobs they currently fill.
State government IT chief Mark Bengel told The Tennessean the aim is be certain that workers' skills match the state's needs.
"This is really not about getting rid of people," Bengel said Wednesday. "It's about making sure that we do have the skills and we have the ability to develop and retain staff in the future."
Haslam told the newspaper last year that some state computer systems were "in the ditch."
The governor has established an office to centralize IT expertise.
Last year, the administration was successful in steering through a legislative bill that rewrote civil service rules, allowing the state to lay off employees based on job performance, instead of straight seniority.
According to a state Office of Information Resources memo obtained by The Tennessean, each state agency with IT operations "will receive a draft, standardized organizational structure that has been aligned with the mission of the agency.
This draft organizational structure will be populated with newly created IT job classifications."
The memo specifies that state IT workers who meet minimum qualifications are eligible to apply and be interviewed for the new classifications.
"Technology is moving so fast that skills are obsolete in the blink of an eye," Bengel said.
Robert O'Connell, executive director of the Tennessee State Employees Association, said it is stressful to IT workers who are being forced to re-apply for jobs they already hold.
But Bengel said the state must fiercely compete with private industry and a scarcity of information technologists.

This had to happen. I just had to challenge all you cooks out there to flex your delicious imaginations and come up with sweet desserts and treats that are absolutely free of any and all animal products. In other words, vegan sweets.
While it is not hard at all to cook and eat vegan most of the time, sweets can be a bit of a challenge to the most seasoned vegan cook. Western desserts, usually baked, rely heavily on eggs, butter, cream and other dairy products. Indian sweets are also usually dairy-based, which puts them on a vegan's list of just-can't-eat foods.
But at the same time, there are cooks out there who are every day challenging our long-held notions about cooking with animal products. Today, not only is it possible to make vegan versions of most popular sweets, it is also possible to make them just as delicious, if not more so.
For this event, just think different. How about almond or soy milk instead of cow's milk? Ground flaxseed or cornflour or silken tofu instead of eggs? Soymilk curdled with vinegar instead of buttermilk? And if you just cannot do without the sour cream or the cream cheese or the whipped cream, remember, there are vegan options of all these foods available at health food stores and even, sometimes, in your regular supermarket. Most are surprisingly good.
Of course, if your recipe does not require an animal product in the first place, you don't have to worry about the substitutes at all.
I'd love to see what you can come up with, and no, you don't have to have a food blog to enter this event. The recipe does have to be newly posted, though, so please don't send old blog posts unless you cook and post the recipe again for this event.
Send as many entries as you like and link back to this post. Feel free to use the logo. If you need help, there are already many bloggers out there who have posted countless recipes for sweet vegan treats. All you need to remember is the recipe has to be sweet and none of the ingredients should have an animal source. So no butter, milk, cream, ghee or other dairy products, no eggs, and no honey.
Your entries should reach me before 6 pm Oct. 31 at vaishalihonawar[at]gmail[dot]com, or just click on the Email tab in my profile. Include these details:
Your blog name
Your blog url
Url of your entry
A picture about 300 pixels in width
Good luck, everyone, and sweet eats!

Madrid: Spain boss Vicente Del Bosque has admitted Iker Casillas` absence will be a blow, but insists he has faith in the goalkeepers lower down the Roja pecking order.
The 31-year-old is set to miss Spain`s friendly with Uruguay next week due to a fractured hand, an injury that could potentially sideline the Real Madrid stopper for a further three months.
Victor Valdes and Pepe Reina will be among the candidates to step in for Casillas and, while Del Bosque has noted the importance of his captain, he is confident he will be adequately covered.
"Iker Casillas will be a significant absence, because he is the most capped player for Spain and has an impeccable track record," Del Bosque told Murcia.
"But we must look at other goalkeepers who are also very good. The competition is great and it is not easy to choose.
The 63-year-old also revealed he will introduce the new generation of La Roja stars and hopes they can adapt well to the international stage.
"We now have to respect all those who have brought us to where we are and who are at a relatively young age, but we are also anticipating the new ones that deserve to be included and who we must combine well."

Ywis, lyk unto an awkward silence duringe a date, a blogg wythout newe poostes seemeth to strecche on forevir. O gentil rederes, it payneth me soore that Ich have but litel tyme for to update thys litel blogg. For the labour of a Clerk of the Kinges Workes ys lyk unto a well-sellinge series of fantasie novels: it hath no ende, nor evir shall, for economique necessitee presseth yt into endlesse servyce.
Moost nightes, whanne Ich have back to my couch ycome, Ich kan do litel moore than cheque myn accounte on the livre de visage and listen to a fyne ballad of Siena & The Devyce, and then to bed. So gooth the lyf of a minor functionarie.
Al is wel besydes the grete bisynesse. Thomas ys wyth my Lord John of Gaunt. My Trespuissant Lord King Richard semeth to be unusuallye chill about everythinge sithen we did return from Las Vegas and he did winne back hys crown. In deed, just yesterdaye King Richard hadde Bolingbroke ovir for dinner and seyde sum thinge lyk, "It is a goode thinge that we have decyded to pardon yow completelye for the acciouns thou didst take ayeinst ower royal crown and person yn the mercilesse parlement; thynk how terribel yt wolde be if we were merelye buildinge up ower power secretely and plotting revenge upon thee!" And then he laughed ful deepe and called for wyne and spicez.
At Oxenforde, litel Lowys semeth to fare ful well. He hath founde newe freendes and ys doynge wel in his classes. He boardeth yn a smal hous yn towne yclept the Maison des Animaux, and telleth me many a storye of mirth of the aventures that he hath wyth hys freend Pluto, the whych ys a grete janglere and a goliardeys.
Whanne Ich do have sum tempus liberum, Ich have usid yt to speke wyth myn literarye coterie. Ich have had greet solaas and mirthe by joyning the conversaciouns of the Domesdaye Groupe in London, and eek have embarkid on many projectes and conversaciouns wyth Virginia Wulfstan. She and hir goode husbound are plannyng a maner scriptorium for the publisshinge of bookes, and Ich have had the gret honor of beinge consulted about their initial titles. Thei shall call thys grete enterprise the "Hrothgar Presse."
Yet Virginia Wulfstan and Ich have arryved at sumdeel of a disacordaunce. For Ich have founde a newe maner of makynge the which deliteth me wyth greet delite. In thys newe kynde of booke, the writere taketh the weightie werke of an auncient auctor of much renowne (or paraventure a well-knowene romaunce) and mixeth yt wyth whimsical tales of the supernatural. Methinketh that swich a combinacioun shal be lyk unto cat-nippe for the loveres of bookes, and shal climbe the bestsellere listes lyk Lancelot into Gueneveres roome. Ywis, paraventure thei may even selle moore copyes than The Mayde Y-Marked wyth Woad in the Shape of a Wyrm and its sequel The Mayde Who Kikked at the Apiary.
Heere ys a smal ensaumple of the maner of booke about which Ich do speake. The followinge are top-secret proposales the which we haven receivid from manye a woulde-be wryter of bookes:
*The Aeneid and Zombies: In thys sequel to the moost-loved epique of classical tymes, the howlinge soule of Turnus gooth nat to helle but rathir infecteth the manye deade left from the horribel werres that the booke doth narrate. Zombie Pallas, Zombie Mezentius on hys Zombie horse Rhaebus, and Zombie stag-of-Tyrrus-that-Ascanius-accidentallye-killede, all lumber wyth muchel gore and litel speede Aeneas-toward. Aeneas hideth wyth the men of Troye in a shoppinge mall, in which he saith to them "Peraventure oon daye yt shall do us goode to thinke upon thes tymes," and hys men saye to hym, "Peraventure oon daye ye shal get a newe lyne." And then thei shal maken good battel ayeinst the Zombies, bewieldinge the many wepens that are redily founde yn an anciente Etruscan shoppinge malle. Many a zombie is slayne wyth a club of golf, a baseballe bat, or a smalle terracotta figuratyve sculpture. At the ende of the greate tournement ayeinst the undeade, Aeneas sheweth his hardinesse and knighthede by backinge ovir the last of the zombyes wyth a truck, commetinge upon which deede of chivalrie he saith: "Hic sunt lacrimae rearended!"
Swich are the maner of bookes that I wolde have the Hrothgar presse printe wyth its shinye newe technologie of litel metal letteres. And yet Virginia Wulfstan insisteth that the Hrothgar presse sholde nat prynt swich thinges, but rathir sholde prynt her owene werkes of "alliterative modernisme."
Par ensaumple, she hath a book ywrit clepped Towardes the BoneHouse, in which Byrhtnoth "The Unspellable" of Ramseye ledeth hys warriors ayeinst the cruelous and fiendliche warryors of the Viking Danes, the which have a light-house ycaptured. A grete feeste of beef playeth sum keye role, for Ich know that in oon sectioun, Byrhtnoth saith to his men, "Ower high-courage sholde growe hardere, our heartes growe keenere, and ower mood-for-fight growe mightier, the moore that we eate of boeuf en daube."Certes, thys beth a grete booke, and yet why beth ther nat room for bookes of classiques plus zombyes?
What thinketh yow, lordinges? What pleseth yow moore, the bookes of classiques updatid humorouslye, or the booke of the battel of the lighthouse? Ye maye eek wisshe to maken mencioun of yower owene proposales for bookes of machaup in the commentes.
Until nexte we meete, ye have my gretest thankes and affecioun.
-Le Vostre
post scriptum: Ich truste that ye shal nat telle Gower of thys mattir, for he ys lyk the biggest ripper-offer yn the wyde spanne of the erthe. Oones he herd of thys, we wolde see bookes swich as Exhaustiveleye Boringe Discussiouns of Penitential Theologie in Tetrameter AND HIPPOGRIFFS.

Venture-backed companies made less cash for their backers last quarter compared with a year ago, capping a year in which the industry came under fire for not delivering hoped-for returns.
Acquisitions of venture-backed companies totaled $3.52 billion in the fourth quarter, down 29 percent from $4.99 billion a year earlier, according to data from Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association.
Continue Reading Below
For the full year, acquisitions totaled $21.5 billion, down 11 percent from $24.09 billion in 2011. The numbers reflect only companies that disclosed deal values.
Venture-backed companies tapping public markets raised $1.41 billion via initial public offerings in the fourth quarter, down 50 percent from $2.8 billion a year earlier, when gaming company Zynga raised $1 billion in its IPO.
For the full year, venture-backed IPOs totaled $21.45 billion, doubling from $10.69 billion in 2011. But strip away the $16 billion that social-networking company Facebook raised in May and the total actually halved.
The numbers highlight a system that relies on the success of just a handful of high-profile companies. Meanwhile, the vast majority of venture-backed companies delivered fairly moderate returns.
Eight venture-backed companies held IPOs last quarter, compared with 11 a year earlier. About 95 companies were acquired, compared with 122 a year earlier.
The biggest acquisition of the quarter was Cisco Systems' $1.2 billion purchase of wireless-networks company Meraki. The largest IPO of the quarter was human-resources software company Workday , which raised $733 million.
The venture industry has been targeted by criticism that the returns it offers do not justify the years - typically a decade or more - it requires investors to tie up their cash.
In May, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation released a widely read report on venture investing called "We Have Met the Enemy... And He is Us." It slammed the industry for poor returns and business practices, particularly funds that total $500 million or more.

Graceful BlameJanuary 06, 2009
Yes, it's bothersome when my work is ripped off. I spend a lot of time crafting custom code, designing what I think are great layouts, illustrating or writing copy. And then some random person out there on the internet grabs my work and claims it as their own.
If it hasn't yet, this will happen to you. Many times. My favourite advice ever on the subject came from Jeffrey Zeldman:
"Don't worry about people stealing your design work. Worry about the day they stop."
But you'll probably still want to let the person know they're in the wrong. This is how I handle it.
First, I wait until I've cooled off some. Acting immediately is a bad idea, no matter how tempting.
Second, I send a non-accusatory email. Sometimes I'm polite, sometimes I'm terse, but I avoid appearing angry. I tell them I've noticed some similarities. I ask for an explanation. I sometimes provide reference screenshots or URLs of the original material.
There are two sides to every story, and they want a chance to tell theirs. It was probably an honest mistake. A shady contractor did it. An intern didn't know any better. They used my design or copy or code on a mockup that was never meant to see production.
I may not believe that. In most cases the story probably isn't true, but it doesn't matter. What does is their next action.
Nobody likes to be accused of doing something wrong, but I started the dialogue by giving them the benefit of doubt so we avoided that. Chances are they'll be willing to own up to their guilt, then take any action necessary to remedy the situation. In most cases, this is exactly how it happens.
And when it does play out like that, I thank them for handling it properly. It was a learning experience, and I'm willing to bet they won't be caught doing it again.
(Of course when it doesn't, then it may be time to call in the lawyers. Or internet mob justice squad. Linking, Twittering, serving notice, public shaming etc. should only be a last resort.)
I've found that if I prevent myself from immediately lashing out, things generally go well. An offended person is going to be less likely to be respectful (duh). However, I make sure they're aware that I take the situation very seriously. Allowing perpetrators to get away with an inch is a crime; plagiarism produces a chilling of good design, photography, or any other art. I don't want to sound accusatory, but I don't want to sound light hearted either. Great advice, Dave!
I've actually had people copy my site's design with the Google Analytics tracking code still intact! The worst part is their ripoff website starts polluting my stats and the ironic part is I catch the sites much quicker since they leave traces all over GA.
I've always wondered if a company that copied one of my designs (the "shady contractor" scenario) could be a potential new client. I mean, who better to redesign their site than the person whose design was stolen, since they obviously liked my aesthetics? Alas, I've never been ripped off, so I've never tried it.
Also, Dave, what would you consider to be an appropriate course of action on the part of the person/company that copied you? An immediate take-down of the site in question? If they gave you an assurance that they're working to redesign the site, would you be OK with leaving the ripped-off design online in the meantime?
This happened to me too; the person who stole my site's design simply hotlinked my CSS file in his site and started stealing my bandwidth. When I realized this, I quickly edited the CSS code, ruined the design and wrote that the "author" was a thief.
However, there are some cases when many designers follow a certain pattern or a trend – in that case there would be many sites that have a similar look.
@Andrew Noyes - I'm not sure if I totally buy into the chilling effect argument (I'm not going to stop being creative because people like my stuff enough to rip it off) but I agree that being too friendly would be a mistake. The only reason I'm having an exchange with these people in the first place is because they've stepped on my toes after all, it's not a requisite to make them like me after we're done.
@Guillermo Esteves - "Also, Dave, what would you consider to be an appropriate course of action on the part of the person/company that copied you?"
Immediate takedown, nothing less. Leaving my work up while waiting for the substitute that will eventually take its place puts the burden on me to check, when it ought to be theirs to remove the plagiarized material.
@Guillermo Esteves - I think that you first point, is very interesting, and to be honest I've never thought about that angle before, even though I've had a couple of those "shady contractor" scenarios regarding some designs/websites made for clients.
I have though been using the method in some cases where companies had "copied" texts and images from me. Simply by writing them with a nice and gently, but serious tone, telling them that it isn't okay to copy/grab others databases, and then made them and offer, if they were interested in keeping the content on their site.
I found those websites a bit the same way as Neal, just here, they copied images including watermarks and links to my site, and then, when their users click the image, their site shows in my stats.
I've had people steal my work, but upon approaching one guy in a similar manner that you've outlined he recently came back to me apologising again and asking for an honest opinion of his own work!
Makes you feel like some kind of evangelist!
The devil in me would be tempted to ask them politely who did their design because I'm interested in commissioning some work.
Then mail them some dog poop… with a picture of the design they stole on the packaging.
In regards to trying to work with a shady contractor who must love your work because they stole it…who wants to work with someone like that? You'd never trust them, and since they got paid for work they didn't do, they will probably end up scamming you out of work or money (or both) somehow. I agree that immediate takedown is the only option, because otherwise it gets drawn out into a long affair and only increases the potential to get ugly.
@Dave - I agree, those who are passionate about design don't just drop it, but they do start working in a "diving behind a revolving bookcase" kind of way. Plagiarism has led to several of my Flickr contacts setting all of their photos to private.
Vincent, I didn't mean working with the shady contractor, but with their client. They might not have known that the design was stolen, and they *will* need a new website once they take down the plagiarized one. Sounds like a perfect opportunity to offer them your services.
Well the thing is *how* you can find the stolen design. Even more, how you can find the stolen code.
I often see posts about stolen web work and I really don't realize how a web designer/developer can detect the rip-off. Please share your experience.
@Yiannis - well, some of the previous comments have mentioned ways they've discovered it. Sometimes you stumble across a site that looks familiar, sometimes other people notice and tell you about it, sometimes the site shows up as a referrer in your stats.
If you're wondering how I find every site that has taken my work, I don't. I just catch a few here and there. There are probably a bunch more for every one I find out about.
@Guillermo: Ah, of course…that makes a whole lot more sense, my bad!
@Everyone: I have a friend who writes blog copy for a number of different websites and he gets ripped off all the time. To combat this, he started putting a two-word nonsense phrase below his text when he posts articles and then does a google search every so often to see if any hits come up that aren't his doing. I've considered putting something like this into my site, you could easily find a way to hide it from view - perhaps a crazy text indent like many use for image replacement.
I will be brave and confess that I did the samething you're talking about. I used someone's else work and manipulated it someway to use it on one of my projects. I changed the look of his work but still that's not an excuse.
Few months later the original owner contacted me and I lied "I'm sorry I got someone to do it for me, didn't know it's similar to your work"
I apologized and close the website temporary. 4 days later I made a totally different design and re-opend the site.
Trust me I'm still feeling some guilt and I hate what I did.
I am more of the "the internet will change the way we perceive intellectual property" kind of guy.
I have had a design "stolen" once. But frankly I couldn't care less. I don't mind others using my work. I do mind it however when they state they made it themselves. I asked the person who "stole" my design to remove his copyright notice…and he did. As far as I am concerned, that closed the case.
Personally I hope that one day we will no longer feel the need to copyright stuff, but simply create because we want to and not care about what happens with it.
But I guess I am a minority.
@Ahmad Alfy - thanks for being brave, I'm glad to hear what it's like on the other side of the fence.
@Bert - I'm wagering you don't have people paying you to create the work you're not fussing about. When money changes hands for creative work, there's a much stronger sense of ownership.
I always contact people who rip off my code without permission, and usually adopt a direct and firm approach to the email/contact.
I sometimes contact people who rip off my designs but usually only if they are very similar to my original concept and colour scheme.
The reason I'm more relaxed about my design being ripped off is that it's very difficult to prove that your idea was original in the first place.
I'm also influenced by many websites that I interact with on a daily basis, and borrow thinking and methods to shape my designs for projects. It's this referencing that makes my design belong to me, but not necessarily unique.
If however, the design has been ripped off with very minimal change (like they swapped the logo and company name), I see this more like a slap in the face, than maybe being flattered by being copied. And usually email people requesting an explanation by reply.
Anyway - it's nice to be 'referenced' as it does confirm what you do is respected by a wider audience, but blatant 'ripping-off' is something that needs stamping out.
With face recognition coming to iLife'09, surely someone can invent something similar for the piracy of website design!!?
@Stuart Davison - I was about to mention copying/influence points but you did a nice job and I agree with you on them.
Before remembering how tineye works, I thought I would be clever and take a screenshot and do a search to see if anything would come up but I didn't get anything. It would be interesting if tineye not only did images but also took snapshots of websites it crawled for this kind of thing. Not saying that finding a bunch of copycats would be a good thing, but I find it quite interesting to follow on twitter and see how things unfold. Unless I'm mistaken I remember at least one time you tweeting about a stolen design and more recently someone tweeting about a stolen tagline.
True, but then when I create something for someone who pays me, they get the copyrights…so in those cases they have to take action if they wish to challenge the copy-cat. It says so explicitly in my contracts.
I feel like I am in AA. I would have to confess also that my experience from this first came about when I was just starting to get into web dev. I, without hesitation, snatched quite a bit a one man's hard work. It is just easy to do on the internet..(thought process "who's watching"). And boy did I get caught. I ended up reversing about 2 weeks of "work" (i guess you could call it) in about 8 hours once I was hit with an email that said I was being taken to court with a hefty fine if it wasn't fixed. My excuse "I had hired an independent contractor for a short period of time who was a fault".
The hardest thing about protecting your work online (copywriting it) is that if you do not enforce it to everyone than it is null and void. Now that I am more matured and little more aged, I make it a point share my uneasiness from when I was first caught with those who steel my work. I write an email and sit on it for a day, then edit it, remove the emotion and send it out. If there was only an easier way of protecting your work online…but I do have that quote (above) written on a sticky note hanging off my monitor. Great write and fun comments on this one.
I'm not sure if this will even get posted since I don't even qualify as a novice, but I am a student majoring in Web Design and I have to say that these issues seem alarming. It never would have occured to me that the issue of piracy would come to play in this field. I guess the term "professional" is relative.
When I find someone who ripped one of my designs , I usually email his hosting company and provide them screenshots etc etc . This usually solves the problem .
This is so annoying. We find websites out there all the time who have not only copied our own web design site, but have also copied the designs we have built for our clients. Sometimes we will see parts or ideas lifted from our site, but other times we will see design, text and image rip-offs! Does anyone understand any laws in place about stealing code though? If I wrote something for example from scratch, what is to say someone else with coding knowledge could not do the same? Mike.
Hmmm…this has me thinking. Is there anyway to prevent users from right-clicking and stealing code? Much like the process of preventing people from right-clicking to save images.
Or, is this just not possible?
No, as long as it is on the internet, it can be copied in some way.
You can't prevent right-clicking. The methods out there are done by JavaScript and can easily be bypassed by disabling it. Also, it causes a usability issue as the context-menu has meny more functions other than 'copy' or 'view source'. You'll annoy more legit users and prevent ill-intended users.
Also remember that websites isn't just accessed by browsers. You just need to do a HTTP request to be fed the HTML/CSS/JS file.
You waste more time, money and effort trying to prevent anyone viewing your source code than just leaving it as it is.
We often noticed, that most of people stealing designs or content, are the ones, wo do not pay so much time in their own webdesign or someone else does it for them…Most of them, really do not have the knowledge in how far they copy and can copy…I think, how Dave explained his way, thats quite the best way to do…
There was one day a guy, who started to argue with us and thought, we were telling jokes…but after a while, he noticed, that he was talking to the real owner and professional and suddenly went quiet..and he wants to talk to his webmaster;) that was nearly sweet ;)…giving a little hint, they change their design/content fast i think…


text: I purchase many, many terabytes of disk array every year, and use a mixture of SCSI and (S)ATA depending on the specific application. My observations and experiences with the current crop of technology: SCSI attached to a decent RAID controller (e.g. LSI MegaRAID) will generally outperform a roughly equivalent SATA array for many purposes, and if you have money to burn you can build significantly faster arrays. This is due to a combination of physically faster drives and mature drive and controller implementations that work very well together. That said, for single-process access, streaming, and similar, the performance is largely similar. A 10k SATA array will perform about as well as a 10k SCSI array in most cases. For applications that are bound by access/seek times (e.g. databases), SCSI still seems to have substantially more throughput in practice. The bandwidth issue is almost a non-issue in my experience, as you'll run into access/seek limitations first for most apps. So to summarize, they are mostly differentiated by the effective access/seek throughput; SATA is the cheaper choice if you aren't significantly bound by this parameter. And as SATA firmware in both the drives and controllers improves, and fast SCSI drive hardware is adapted to SATA interfaces, I expect this gap to close. It hasn't closed yet, but in a couple years I expect it will be. j. andrew rogers

Innovation in the 19th Century
Founded just before the Civil War by people who believed strongly in freedom, civil rights, and the importance of a higher education for all who could benefit from it, Bates was, and is, committed to principles of social justice, equality, and freedom.
Although they met with considerable criticism from other regional colleges, the founders held fast to their commitment to admit both men and women: Bates was New England's first coeducational college.
Great efforts were made in designing the institution to ensure that no qualified student would be turned away because he or she could not afford the cost of a Bates education.
From the beginning, Bates welcomed young men and women from Maine farm and factory towns, former slaves, and immigrants.
Our graduates have always included men and women from a myriad of racial, national, and religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. All organizations on campus are open to everyone — and for this reason, Bates has never had fraternities or sororities.
Oren B. Cheney
Oren Burbank Cheney —founder and first President of Bates College — was born in 1816 in Holderness, N.H., to prominent abolitionist parents. In 1855, Cheney founded the Maine State Seminary, the school that would become Bates College.
Mary W. Mitchell '1869
Mary Wheelwright Mitchell was the first female graduate of Bates College. She worked in the mills to pay her way through college. She was remembered as stubborn and independent; offered a scholarship by Bates founder Oren Cheney, Mitchell turned it down: "I cannot take that, Mr. Cheney. Give it to the brethren. I can take care of myself."
Henry Chandler '1874
Henry Wilkins Chandler was the first African American student to graduate from Bates. While Chandler was born free, six of the first nine African American students at Bates were former slaves, most recruited by Bates founder Oren Cheney from refugee camps around Washington, D.C., during and after the Civil War.

Watch Britney Spears + Demi Lovato at Fox 'X Factor' Upfronts
Britney Spears and Demi Lovato made a beaming pair as they strutted out onstage at the Fox upfronts with 'X Factor' creator and judge Simon Cowell. The duo made it official earlier today, and now we have video of the momentous confirmation of months of rumors. The gals couldn't look happier, and even the usually subdued Cowell looks stoked!
The gals and fellow veteran judge L.A. Reid strolled out alongside Cowell, who pantomimed like a symphony conductor, clearly proud of his new lineup. "Well, we delivered," he began. "Rumors are one thing," he said, addressing the months and months of speculation, "and delivering is another." We're so glad that they delivered — and with two of the biggest stars on the planet, we bet the suits are glad, too.
"It's taken a year to get to where we've gotten today," Cowell said, "and I am thrilled to be able to confirm, as you can see, the return of L.A. Reid, the addition of Demi Lovato and the superstar Britney Spears." Lovato and Reid were the most visibly excited about the announcement, with Reid riling up the crowd and Lovato grinning from ear to ear and waving to the audience.
Spears was a bit more subdued, perhaps overwhelmed, but had only positive words to say about joining the show. She almost sounded teary! "Well, first of all, I am so excited about this whole experience," she said earnestly. "It's going to be so much fun and so different from anything I've ever done — and I'm ready to find a true star." So sweet, that Brit!
Demz had her own cute speech. "I am totally stoked to be here, because of not only the opportunity to be a judge, but the presence of you guys," she said, looking at the rest of her panel, "it's just an honor to be standing next you. I'm excited to represent my generation, and I'm ready to find the winner!"
Reid was charming and smooth as usual, calling the panel "the Rolls Royce of television." Cowell echoed Reid and then some. "This year, we are going to seriously kick butt." Based on how many new viewers they're going to get? We totally agree.

Hi all,
I am a owner of a UL260i motor (from the belgian UL POWER AERO ENGINE company)... which is yet to be started...
I seriously doubt the output figures given by the company. Max output is supposed to be 95 - 97hp. It happens to be around 79 - 85hp after various investigations.
Is it a widely spread engine in the USA ? Are there any owners in this forum, and if so, are you happy with it ?
