POST data is submitted by a form and "posted" to the web server as form data. POST data is encoded the same way as GET data, but isn't typically visible to the user in standard browsers.
Most forms use the post method because it "hides" the form data away from the user and doesn't clutter up the URL in the address bar.
{post_content}My name is Brian Savage, and I will be your Instructor for this course. As the one who will be responsible for guiding you through this course I believe it is important to offer you the opportunity to understand the origin of my direction, expectations, and my basis in grading your efforts. Therefor I would like to share a brief history of my professional and personal journey to help you understand what it is that has placed me directly in the path of your future. I offer you this in understanding that I find myself weighing one's experience in the equation when placing value on their advice, direction, information, etc. This is not a required reading and there will be no quiz on this. I will be happy to entertain any questions you may have about me, my journey, and why I choose to be here and not there.
As a result of a difficult childhood I was left with no choice but quit high school in the beginning of twelfth grade to work and maintain my apartment at 4th and Walnut, here in Reading. Shortly after quitting I obtained my GED and continued working in the restaurant and construction industries. For a few years I attempted to move forward in my education by attending classes at Pikes Peak Community College, Colorado State University, Naropa Institute, and finally I completed my Associates Degree in Liberal Arts here at RACC. I later completed my BS in Computer Science at Albright College in their Accelerated Degree Program. Moving forward, I will be working toward completing my Masters at Penn State beginning in the spring of 2017. I have an enormous respect for academics and have always maintained that it is the world's greatest resource for diverse and inspiring relationships that foster both personal and professional growth. I would encourage you to recognize this while traveling through your academic journey and embrace all that you can from it.
I have had an exciting career in which I have been fortunate to work with teams from around the world on websites and applications for organizations such as ebay, Godiva, Sony, Dicks Sporting Goods, Toys-R-Us, Ferrari, and many more. I hope by sharing a little about my journey with you so you, you might understand what I have to offer you as a teacher, but more importantly, you establish a level of confidence in the knowledge that I will share with you about the industry and how you might position yourself to succeed.
My journey began as a technical trainer for an organization named Managing Editor Inc (MEI) in Jenkintown Pennsylvania. At MEI I consulted publication organizations on how to leverage technology to increase efficiencies in delivering publications such as magazines, newspapers, and books. For several years my week began on Sunday mornings in the Philadelphia Airport as I headed out, to somewhere in the world, to complete my activities as a technical trainer. It was an exciting chapter for me when considering these organizations included National Geographic, Gannet Publications, Mac World, and Playboy to name a few. Through these experiences I began to build a network and started freelancing, by creating microsites, and eventually found myself as the founder and CEO of Egavas Design.
Egavas Design rapidly grew into an office suite filled with developers, project managers, business analysts, and an amazing creative team building high-end websites and applications. During this chapter of my career I had countless lessons in leveraging technology and capitalizing on opportunities, not only on sales, but on delivering websites that positioned organizations to operate more efficiently and cohesively. Many of the challenges we faced included international supply chain barriers and leveraging multicultural teams. After several years of success and growth we experienced a rapid decline in sales due to economic constraints. As our clients began to close their doors sales plummeted and our business model we embraced could not be maintained in the economic climate. In short, we had positioned our success on single high volume sales without considering establishing a financial base supported by a recurring revenue model. This was a hard lesson to learn as a young business owner, but a valuable one I am happy to share. For anyone with aspirations in spearheading a technology startup I would caution they be certain to include recurring revenue in the model and that they not get distracted by just high volume sales. Fortunately during this period of my journey I had established a credible reputation and broad network through which opportunities began to emerge. While the doors of Egavas Design closed I had been presented an opportunity to work with Stream Companies, the fifth largest advertising agency in Philadelphia Area, as their Director of Technology.
During my time as Director of Technology at Stream Companies I lead a team of over fifty professionals in delivering web-based solutions, marketing strategies, and delivered ecommerce solutions for organizations that included top automotive dealerships, grocery and retail chains, and other notable Philadelphia-based organizations. Additionally I played a key role in fostering tremendous growth by opening a development shop in Old Town Philadelphia. During this time ebay had begun to communicate their interest in my taking over a segment of their ecommerce development team and so my journey with ebay began.
Immediately I started delivering ecommerce solutions for some of the world's largest retailers. The segment I worked for was an extension of ebay's capabilities and resources which offered services that implemented, maintained, and managed ecommerce and digital business strategies. My accountabilities included managing every aspect of ecommerce solutions including development, support, marketing, client & vendor management, as well as payment and fulfillment integration. As I began to fine-tune my management strategies and established my name as a leader I came to be known as one who could motivate professionals to achieve the impossible. In short, I embraced the notion that leadership is the ability to have others do things in such a way that they want to do them for you. A simple strategy in which you understand what you are asking others to do, have the ability to sit beside them and do it with them, while treating them with respect and loyalty. Most importantly this strategy recognizes the value in understanding and caring about their personal aspirations and beliefs. While working with Godiva at ebay I had established a relationship through which they recognized my potential to change the way they approached digital opportunities and they began to peruse me to join the senior management team. It was a difficult decision but even ebay agreed that the opportunity was too good to turn down. I moved on to become, as my daughter called me, an Umpa Lumpa.
The first day I made my way from Penn Station to my office on 34th and 8th in New York City I was filled with excitement. I had all the tools to impact this major brand's digital presences, an opportunity to make a mark, and did I ever. Over the course of a year I lead efforts that increased digital-based sales by over 400%, revitalized the organization's digital perspective, and established internal process that increased efficiencies across the organization. Working for Godiva was an exciting time in my career and the experience seemed to be surreal as I lived the life of a Godiva Executive; remember this is a brand that lives the best there is to live. As time passed ebay began to pursue me and determined to have me return to the team there. At the same time the weight of being an absent father and husband had taken its toll personally and, in short, I returned to ebay.
While completing my second tour at ebay I managed PetSmart's ecommerce and digital implementations and, once again, achieved the impossible through my approach to management. Collectively we burned down an impossible backlog of defects, increase the results of marketing efforts, and introduce new and exciting functionalities that prompted news worthy accolades in the industry. At the same time I had began to implement ebay's new strategy, which was actually an exit strategy, to sunset their ecommerce offerings and sell the ecommerce segment. A smart business decision considering ebay had begun to suffer a decline in their primary focus, the one you are well aware of, the ebay marketplace. Organizations such as Alibaba and Amazon were taking an increasing share of the market and if ebay were going to maintain its competitive presence they needed to return to their original business model which is to embrace their market website. My primary responsibility was to maintain a positive approach to implementing this strategy with teams that understood they were working themselves out of a job. In spite of the challenges we replatformed Spanx, iRobot, and Pepperidge Farm ecommerce websites to the Open Source solution Magento in an unheard of time. In the end my efforts, once again, positioned me for opportunity and during this time I began conversations with Amazon.
With an unbelievable offer on the table to move to Seattle and take over the interface side of Amazon's AWS offerings I faced one of the most difficult decisions in my life. During this time I had already been teaching for two semesters at RACC, and my passion for teaching had become a major factor in my decision. I did not shared early, but throughout my journey I had great successes as an instructor at a technical school and choose to leave teaching to pursue more money. From the time I left teaching forward I found myself missing it as though I had a huge part of me removed. Ultimately my conclusions lead me to embrace greater meaning and to dismiss weighing in financial rewards. Once I embraced this perspective my decision was simple and I will now spend the remaining years of my career fostering success in people by encouraging them to pursue a greater quality of life, a satisfaction of self-worth, and to prepare others to realize the success I have had the opportunity to embrace.
When I am not teaching or working on technology solutions I enjoy many different activities with my family and friends. I am an accomplished musician and enjoying most anything related to the outdoors, especially being in the woods or on the beach. Prior to becoming a father I spent a great deal of time traveling and have been fortunate to have explored many different places around the globe. My favorite place to be is with my family and I firmly believe that being a parent is the greatest part of life.
I am excited to share my adventures and experiences with you and look forward to playing a role in preparing you for your future successes in the professional world. I look forward to working with you.

Inspired by a love of classic video games, Boss Monster: The Dungeon Building Card Game pits 2-4 players in a competition to build the ultimate side-scrolling dungeon. Players compete to lure and destroy hapless adventurers, racing to outbid one another to see who can build the most enticing, treasure-filled dungeon. The goal of Boss Monster is to be the first Boss to amass ten Souls, which are gained when a Hero is lured and defeated — but a player can lose if his Boss takes five Wounds from Heroes who survive his dungeon.
Playing Boss Monster requires you to juggle two competing priorities: the need to lure Heroes at a faster rate than your opponents, and the need to kill those Heroes before they reach your Boss. Players can build one room per turn, each with its own damage and treasure value. More attractive rooms tend to deal less damage, so a Boss who is too greedy can become inundated with deadly Heroes.
Players interact with each other by building rooms and playing Spells. Because different Heroes seek different treasure types, and rooms are built simultaneously (played face down, then revealed), this means that every "build phase" is a bidding war. Spells are instant-speed effects that can give players advantages or disrupt opponents.
As a standalone card game with 155 cards, Boss Monster contains everything that 2-4 players need to play.

Members of Congress are about to flee Capitol Hill, and they'll be gone until Nov. 13, one week after Election Day.
As they shift to full-time campaigning, lawmakers are leaving behind many questions about the "fiscal cliff," a massive cluster of automatic spending cuts and tax-break expirations that come together around year's end.
Economists — backed by the White House budget office, the Congressional Budget Office and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke — warn that the country could fall into a deep recession if a fiscal cliff isn't averted.
Even if Congress has left itself enough time to swerve away from a sharp-drop cliff in December, it may be pushing the country toward a fiscal ledge, which is scary too.
"This is probably the greatest fiscal danger facing the economy, simply because most voters and investors don't recognize its implications," J.P. Morgan Funds Global Chief Strategist David Kelly wrote in a research paper. "Under a fiscal ledge scenario, even if the economy avoided outright recession, stocks would be negatively affected by a combination of very weak economic growth and higher taxes on dividends and capital gains."
Here's a map to help understand this precarious place, whether a cliff or a ledge:
The term "fiscal cliff" has become shorthand for a group of budget (aka fiscal) policy changes that will be coming together around Jan. 1. That's when the Bush-era tax cuts expire, automatic spending cuts of $109 billion kick in, the alternative minimum tax starts hitting more middle-class families, and other measures also take effect.
Congress keeps putting off the decisions that involve everything from the Pentagon budget to the expiring payroll tax holiday to cuts in Medicare payments.
Economists are unanimous in saying that unless the looming changes are stopped, softened or at least phased in, the U.S. economy could plunge — as if falling off an economic cliff.
Conventional wisdom assumes that Congress will do something constructive in a lame-duck session — the compressed legislative period that comes after an election but before a new year. Most congressional observers assume lawmakers will patch together stopgap measures, extensions and compromises — taking just enough steps to avoid a cliff until the new Congress can get seated.
But J.P. Morgan's Kelly fears the compromise efforts could create a sort of "ledge," where investors and employers will be left dangling while weighted down by new taxes, less government spending and more policy uncertainty. Even relatively small, temporary tax hikes and spending trims could prove "far too strong a dose of fiscal austerity in one year in a slow-growing economy," he wrote.
In short, Congress has left itself only enough time to organize half-measures, and even those may inflict harm.
But that's not the worst-case scenario. This is: Congress may not have time to do anything at all during the lame-duck session.
Why? Because this election season could bring major distractions, similar to those that followed the 2000 presidential election. That year's "hanging chad" drama in Florida turned into a massive time suck for political leaders. Florida officials spent weeks trying to count paper ballots to determine which presidential candidate had won that state's tie-breaking electoral votes.
Another tussle over ballots is possible this year, especially given the array of new state laws involving voter ID.
It's also possible in this tight presidential election that neither candidate may win enough electoral votes to clinch victory. Dozens of combinations of battleground-state outcomes could leave the race undecided. If no one wins, then the House would decide the election — not exactly a scenario for holding down partisanship on Capitol Hill.
And it's not just the presidential race that could spur demands for recounts. All of the House seats are up for grabs, as well as 33 Senate slots. With Congress so narrowly split, each disputed seat could inflame partisan rancor and make it harder to come up with compromises by New Year's Eve.
Given how many things may go wrong during November and December, a Goldman Sachs research note gives a 1 in 3 chance that Congress will fail to pass even short-term measures to avoid a cliff.
Economist Mark Zandi of Moody's Analytics isn't quite so gloomy. He sees only a 15 percent chance that Congress will do nothing because members know "that would be a very dark road to go down."
Zandi is calling for a slightly better-than-even chance that Congress will avoid both the quick-drop cliff and a lingering ledge by actually settling issues about taxes and spending just after the new year.
Laura Tyson, a Washington veteran who served as chairwoman of President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers, says a handful of moderate senators already is laying the groundwork for that optimistic scenario. "Behind the scenes, there are talks going on," she said. "People are trying to put something together."
That means when Congress returns on Nov. 13, the moderates could have a framework ready to quickly pass short-term compromises — even if there were distractions amid election recounts. That behind-the-scenes work would also prepare the way for comprehensive solutions right after Jan. 1. That would keep the country off both the cliff and the ledge.
But then again, Congress' Thanksgiving break is coming up. And college football is awfully interesting in late November. Christmas shopping must get done. And fiddling takes up a lot of time, too.

King James Bible (FAITH COMES BY HEARING) audio drama - Listen Esther Chapter 1 mp3
1 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:) 2 That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace, 3 In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him: 4 When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days. 5 And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace; 6 Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble. 7 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king. 8 And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure. 9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus. 10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king, 11 To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on. 12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him. 13 Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment: 14 And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king's face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;) 15 What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains? 16 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus. 17 For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not. 18 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath. 19 If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she. 20 And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small. 21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan: 22 For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people. |

Roadmap Scratchpad
Important Preamble That You Should Read, Unlike All The Other Ones That You Just Skip To Get To The Good Stuff
The version numbers, branch names, feature lists, schedules, and indeed basic physics of this roadmap are still very much under discussion. Please do not place large bets or name children around the elements of this roadmap at this time. We have been fortunate to have feedback and input from a number of smart and energetic people, and seek much more such input to help refine this document over the course of the development it describes.
About This Roadmap And Branches/Releases
This roadmap describes the planned capabilities of the Mozilla platform, often known as "Gecko", in the 1.9 release. The product delivery vehicle for this platform will be explored, discussed, and refined in another roadmap process, to which this document will soon link.
So, this is the "platform" roadmap. The other document, the "product" roadmap, builds on this one to detail the plans for Firefox 2 and Firefox 3. Products such as Thunderbird, and projects such as Sunbird, will likely adapt their roadmaps to match the product/platform pair centered on Firefox and Gecko.
The work described in this document will be performed -- in several cases it is already being performed -- on the trunk of Mozilla CVS, with the 1.8 branch preserved largely intact. Some of the features listed below may be pulled forward into that 1.8 branch if needed for product releases off that branch, but you shouldn't count on it. We will preserve all API (declared-frozen or not) compatibility on the 1.8 branch, so only selected additional APIs are thinkable.
Readers of this document will notice a conspicuous absence of bug lists, detailed schedules, or decomposition of development work into individual tasks. While this roadmap is intended to provide a statement of direction for the platform in Gecko 1.9, responsibility for detailed planning of such areas of development is necessarily devolved to the groups doing -- or, in the case of some larger tasks, leading -- the design, development, and testing of specific capabilities. In due, and short, time, this document will link to more detailed "sub-roadmaps" for such work; this distribution of ownership will better reflect the structure of our development organization, and should facilitate improved maintenance of the collected roadmap information over the course of Gecko 1.9
The owner of record for this document is Mike Shaver (firstname.lastname@example.com), and all errors or omissions within it are first and foremost his responsibility. Brendan Eich (firstname.lastname@example.com) continues to drive the vision and architecture of the platform in the large, and his influence on the platform roadmap is both significant and indispensible. In the case of a tie, disputes will be settled by single combat.
Major Areas Of Development
There are several major areas of development for Gecko 1.9, intended to serve both the applications built on top of it (chiefly Firefox 3) and applications built on the web which need or would benefit from improvements in web technology. Many of these web-facing enhancements will be implementations of existing standards, in whole or in part. Some will be new standards.
A rough attempt to categorize these development areas can be found below. Some elements could reasonably be categorized multiply, so tags would be better than categories. Please bear with our taxonomy.
Graphics and layout capabilities
Graphics and layout changes represent some of the most invasive work proposed for the Gecko 1.9 development cycle. They form the core of the architectural shifts in 1.9, and are considered to be the most difficult and riskiest elements.
To manage risk, this roadmap proposes that major graphics and layout work -- especially the cairo-substrate and reflow-branch changes -- be scheduled as early as possible, in staged landings. Both of these work items have meaningful development behind them as of this writing (October 2005), but both will also require significant additional work to reach a level of completeness (including performance) that will allow them to be made default on the trunk.
The changes most graphical in nature (SVG, Canvas, XUL2D) depend on a switch to the cairo graphics library as the fundamental display architecture for Gecko, work on which is already well underway. The aim of shifting to cairo is to bring modern, hardware-accelerated 2D graphics capabilities to the whole of the web, without requiring proprietary plugins or rendering obsolete the broad and rich set of web authoring techniques developed over the past decade.
The layout changes -- see also the "XUL' and XBL2" section of this roadmap -- center around David Baron's "reflow branch", the aim of which is to eliminate reflow commands and types, and significantly reduce the complexity of the Gecko layout model. This is the first change to global layout architecture in several years, and it is hoped that it will address many problems related to incremental reflow. In addition, it should simplify some problems that are not practically soluble with the current architecture, such as support for inline-table.

- Canvas
- "Reflow branch"
JavaScript 2
The development of the Mozilla suite of applications, from the earliest days of Seamonkey to the current Firefox 1.5 release, has demonstrated the promise of developing significant infrastructure and application logic in JavaScript, rather than the fragile world of Mozilla's portable C++ dialect. Over the course of that development, though, many limitations in the language and our implementation have come to hinder our development efforts, and the JavaScript 2 work in Gecko 1.9 seeks to address many of them.
In order to test the draft Edition 4 specification, we will implement all of it in due course, but that may not happen till after Gecko 1.9 is all but done. So it may be that 1.9 ends up shipping a "JavaScript 1.9" -- time will tell. The goals are to materially improve the productivity of JS hackers working in Firefox and other XUL apps, and to prove the soundness of the new edition of the language.
Apart from all the new language features (for more details, stay tuned to the roadmap blog), the JS2 implementation should be significantly faster and easier to debug, both from script and from a graphical debugger such as Venkman. Debugging support in major IDEs is possible (more than possible in one IDE that's already working on it).
Reminder: Please make sure to double-check new JavaScript code for potential security problems.
Python for XUL
Significant potential contributors in both the Python and XUL application development communities have long wanted access to Python's set of libraries and its capabilities as an application development language. So in addition to JavaScript, which is the default web and XUL scripting language, we plan to extend the reach of Gecko and XUL to the Python world.
Mark Hammond's work on PyXPCOM and a language-neutral DOM is well under way as of October 2005, and we believe that the glue code and bindings will be slim enough to be part of a default XULRunner or Firefox distribution when the 1.9 cycle is complete.
(N.B.: Mozilla does not intend to distribute the C-Python runtime with its applications or frameworks, so application developers who wish to take advantage of these capabilities will need to provide for this dependency in their installers or packaging. Stub or streaming installer capabilities in the Firefox/XULRunner based on Gecko 1.9 will probably help a great deal to ease the extra download for Python-less users.)
XUL' and XBL2
The XUL and XBL languages have served Mozilla development very well, and are often taken as a model for XML-based UI development in other circles. In some cases, however, our implementations or their old specifications are incomplete, inconsistent, insufficiently robust, or not amenable to some important use cases (including remote XUL applications or rich mixing with other content types such as HTML or SVG). We seek to address these limitations, and generally improve the XUL and XBL development experience, with work in Gecko 1.9.
The XBL work is based on an existing design by Ian Hickson and David Hyatt, currently being developed in the mozilla-xbl list. Pending the complete specification, we can't be sure that all of XBL2 will be implemented in the 1.9 timeframe, but we are committed to at least an improved attachment model, clearer lifecycle semantics, and scripting language neutrality. These are prerequisites for desired 1.9-era application and platform features.
XUL work in Gecko 1.9 will not undertake to create a shining XUL2 jewel, but will instead work to preserve compatibility with "XUL1" where practical, and make clean breaks where unavoidable. Hence the tentative name XUL' (XUL Prime).
Improvements to the XUL box model, based on the specification work started by Hixie and Hyatt, should provide a more consistent and flexible layout model for XUL developers, and help to rationalize XUL's interactions with other content types. This box-model work has been proposed for standardization via the W3C CSS working group. Much of the gain in any "shining XUL2 jewel" plan would likely be delivered by these box-model fixed, improvements, and cross-content rationalization, rendering the former not only a non-goal but also a non-issue.
We will also see the landing of Neil Deakin's highly-anticipated template builder refactoring, which will allow us to support the use of templates to generate content from data sources such as sqlite (mozStorage), XML documents and JavaScript generators, in addition to the current RDF datasource support. While this work will apply to all content languages, we expect that it will be used first, and perhaps best, by XUL developers who have been suffering with the limitations of the current template model.
- XUL box model rationalization
- Template builder
Web app deployment and capability improvements
The recent resurgence in Web application development has demonstrated the significant power and capability of Web technologies, as well as some key areas of desirable improvement.
Chief among these is a client-local storage capability, which need is not sufficiently addressed by HTTP cookies. Cookies provide limited storage space (on the order of a few kilobytes), require the application developer to manually encode and decode any structure more complex than a simple string, and are transmitted back to the server on each request. In response to these limitations, some application developers are using the Flash plugin simply to gain access to a reliable and capable local store. Ian Hickson and the WHATWG have specified a simple but powerful client-local storage interface that addresses these concerns, and eliminates the dependence on proprietary plugins.
Another limitation often decried by developers of rich Web applications is the lack of a reasonable offline execution model. Mechanisms to remedy this lack include: facility to pin sets of pages for offline use; a mechanism for detecting that the application is running offline; and events to signal that the user is going offline or returning to online operation. Taken together with the aforementioned client-local storage system, these mechanisms would combine to enable a number of improved and important web experiences.
- Offline operation
- Client-local storage
Embedding and application deployment
For many application developers, putting Mozilla technology inside or underneath their applications has been a bittersweet experience. While they are rightly excited to have the power of the Mozilla platform at their disposal, the state of our embedding interfaces and application-launch facilities have created significant impediments to their productivity, and introduced expensive fragility into their environments. While we wish to see the plight of these developers improve, we do not believe that the "second-class" nature of 3rd party applications can be entirely wiped from our world.
Instead, we will make our own applications use the same interfaces that we recommend for embedders, in both C++ Gecko interaction and the XUL widgetry that is composed above it. For launching applications atop our platform, we will improve and promote XULRunner, and use it to launch Firefox and our other applications. Over time, we seek to drive the number of "embedding bugs", as distinct from "bugs that break our apps", to near-zero by improving alignment and overlap between those domains.
To further improve the coverage and reliability of our offerings to these developers, the embedding interfaces appropriate to each platform will be built and distributed as part of XULRunner, and therefore Firefox. These embedding interfaces include an ActiveX control on Windows, gtkmozembed on GTK-based platforms, and the embedding widget currently provided by Camino on Macintosh systems.
- API convergence
- XULRunner (details)
- Embedding APIs, widgets, and frameworks
Miscellaneous platform improvements
In addition to the above new and enhanced capabilities, there are several important areas of improvement that resist even the preceding attempt at categorization. They are no less important for that mismatch.
The security model for web content relies on careful management of trust labels, the mixing of which has long been known to security researchers as a source of significant danger. Also, Gecko's support for content with elevated privileges, derived from the Java privilege model from the time of Netscape 4, does not sufficiently distinguish between web applications that can be trusted not to spoof application UI or attempt to "drive by" extension installation, and those that seek to run arbitrary code on the host machine or perform unrestricted operations on the local filesystem. Building on successful research from the programming-language security community; lessons from Java and .NET; and our own person-centuries of experience building and reinforcing web security models, we seek to provide a richer and more reliable model of trusted execution, and especially "partially-trusted" execution.
Extensions have proven to be a very valuable mechanism for extending and improving Firefox and other "toolkit" applications. More sophisticated dependency handling, streaming or stubbed install, and cross-application extension management will be combined with support for additional types of extensions such as language packs and search tools. Combined with application-level improvements in overlay-point freezing and other such advancements, these should provide significant benefits to developers of extensions to Gecko 1.9-hosted applications.
- Security model improvements
- Extension manager
- Tooling support

Bombardier Inaugurates its First Wholly Owned Service Centre in the Asia-Pacific Region
- Bombardier's new aircraft maintenance facility is the 10th worldwide and the second outside North America
- The service centreis ready to serve Learjet, Challenger and Global business aircraft from more than eight registries
Bombardier Aerospace held an inauguration event today, coinciding with the Singapore Airshow, to officially open its new full-scale, company-owned service centre located at Seletar Airport in Singapore. Bombardier welcomed Mr. S. Iswaran, Minister, Prime Minister's office and Second Minister for Home Affairs and for Trade and Industry and Ms. Heather Grant, Canadian High Commissioner to Singapore, as well as more than a hundred other distinguished guests including customers, government officials and members of the Aerospace community to its facility to celebrate this occasion.
The facility features 3,000 sq. meters (32,000 sq. feet) of hangar space, 3,500 sq. meters (38,000 sq. feet) of dedicated ramp, 3,500 sq. meters (38,000 sq. feet) of workshop, warehouse and office space. The service centre includes a staff of over 40 employees and is equipped to perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, as well as modifications, avionics installations and aircraft on ground (AOG) support for Bombardier Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft.
"Growing services and support in the Asia-Pacific region is a top priority for Bombardier," said Michel Ouellette, President, Customer Services & Specialized and Amphibious Aircraft, Bombardier Aerospace. "The addition of the Singapore service centre strengthens our expanding presence in the region and provides Bombardier business aircraft customers with high-quality maintenance support and access to the entire network closer to their base of operations."
"We are delighted that Bombardier Aerospace has chosen Singapore to establish its first company-owned and –operated service centre in Asia-Pacific," said Lim Kok Kiang, Assistant Managing Director of the Singapore Economic Development Board. "Bombardier's presence reinforces Singapore's position as the leading aerospace hub in this region. We are firmly committed to the success of Singapore's Aerospace Industry, and will continue to enhance our business environment to ensure that Singapore remains the most compelling location for aerospace companies to build and manage their growing operations in this part of the world."
The new facility is the 10th wholly-owned Bombardier service centre to join the maintenance network, which includes its Amsterdam facility and eight other service centres in North America.
To date, the service centre has received certifications from Singapore, EASA, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Philippines, Malaysia, and is able to support Australian, Isle of Man and FAA registered Bombardier business aircraft models. Hong Kong, China, India and Canada approvals will be obtained during 2014. The facility has been successfully serving aircraft since the end of 2013 and has performed heavy maintenance tasks up to C-Checks on Global aircraft, as well as provided AOG support across the Asia-Pacific in countries such as Thailand, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore.
As part of its commitment to operators in the Asia-Pacific region, the strategically located service centre forms the foundation for a full-service hub in the region that houses Bombardier's current Singapore Regional Support Office (RSO), and be closely networked with Bombardier's RSOs in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Sydney as well as its parts depots in Beijing, Toyko, Sydney, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Bombardier's latest market forecast for the aviation industry predicts a total delivery of 4,740 business jet deliveries destined for Greater China, India and the Asia-Pacific region over the next 20 years. To date, Bombardier business aircraft has a total of approximately 250 jets based in Greater China, India and the Asia-Pacific region.
Following the inaugural event for the Singapore service centre, Bombardier will be hosting the Maintenance and Operations Conference at the Fairmont Hotel in Singapore, February 18 to 20. This event will ensure that business aircraft customers receive the latest information on their aircraft through a series of technical sessions.

What are citizens willing to fight for?
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

A few days ago, two big names in food policy squared off for a formal debate on the following proposition: There is a fundamental and irreconcilable conflict between the food and beverage industry's interests and public health policy interests on obesity.
Kelly Brownell,who leads the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, led the anti-industry charge. He was opposed by Derek Yach, a soft-spoken South African who provoked much head-scratching in 2007 when he left the World Health Organization to take a senior executive job at PepsiCo. (Yach recently left PepsiCo to join The Vitality Group, an arm of a South African insurance company that promotes wellness.)
The proposition they debated contained some hidden historical spice. At the close of the debate, moderator Thomas Bollyky revealed that it was lifted from a landmark international treaty called the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), adopted in 2003. The words "tobacco industry" were simply replaced by "food and beverage industry," and "on obesity" added. (Interestingly, Yach was one of the architects of this treaty while at the WHO.)
So is PepsiCo really today's Phillip Morris?
Brownell certainly thinks so. At the debate, sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations and held in its posh midtown Manhattan building, Brownell argued that food companies are fundamentally untrustworthy. He pointed to cases in which the industry set up front groups to fight a soda tax in California and fought national guidelines that would restrict the marketing of unhealthy food to children.
Perhaps because Yach stood beside him, or perhaps because of the pompous surroundings — David Rockefeller gazed down on the speakers from an enormous portrait on the wall — Brownell kept his rhetoric rather muted. In an article that he authored earlier this year, however, he hinted at parallels with Munich, 1938: "When the history of the world's attempt to address obesity is written, the greatest failure may be collaboration with and appeasement of the food industry."
The food industry can do some good things, Brownell admitted, when it comes to fighting hunger or promoting sustainable agricultural practices. But "obesity is a different kettle of fish" because solving it conflicts directly with the industry's most basic imperative: To sell more food. All of the industry's much-celebrated "healthy eating" campaigns and partnerships with public health initiatives, Brownell says, amount to "baby steps" that simply obscure this basic fact. Brownell dismissed the idea that companies could also prosper by selling better, healthier, more expensive food. There's no evidence, globally, that this market will be more than a niche, he said.
Yach, for his part, didn't bother trying to defend the entire industry or its current practices and products. He pointed, instead, to signs of a future still unfolding.
The real parallel to obesity isn't tobacco, Yach said, but climate change - a problem that will demand the expertise of industry. Just as energy companies once just tried to sell more oil, "the multinational food and beverage business model has favored quantity over quality," he admitted. And just as energy companies are now investing in green energy, the food industry is starting to realize "that this must change if if is to survive and prosper. I witnessed the intensity of change while at PepsiCo for the last five years."
The market share of mid- and low-calorie beverages in PepsiCo's lineup, he said, was only 25 percent five years ago. Today, it is 50 percent, and "is likely to reach 75 per cent within the next five to eight years. And this is happening even in a recession, in a climate where short-term pressures are intense."
Yach's most powerful words came near the end of the debate, in impromptu remarks that he added to his prepared script. The debate, by this time, had turned to the question of whether food industry representatives should be barred from policy-making discussions related to food, similar to a ban that governments have placed on scientists sponsored by the tobacco industry.
Yach argued that the food industry is already changing, and there's more change in store, if the conversation continues.
"We have to recognize that drawing opponents into debate changes them forever," he said. "I saw that happen in South Africa [with apartheid]. And I don't think that obesity is a bigger problem than what could have happened in South Africa, if you hadn't gone down the road of constructive engagement. ... We need more engagement, not less."

The Overlooked Financial Advantages of Homeownership
There are many clear financial benefits to owning a home: increasing equity, building net worth, growing appreciation, and more. If you're a renter, it's never too early to make a plan for how homeownership can propel you toward a stronger future. Here's a dive into three often-overlooked financial benefits of homeownership and how preparing for them now can steer you in the direction of greater stability, savings, and predictability.
1. You Won't Always Have a Monthly Housing Payment
According to a recent article by the National Association of Realtors (NAR):
"If you've been a lifelong renter, this may sound like a foreign concept, but believe it or not, one day you won't have a monthly housing payment. Unlike renting, you will eventually pay off your mortgage and your monthly payments will be funding other (possibly more fun) things."
As a homeowner, someday you can eliminate the monthly payment you make on your house. That's a huge win and a big factor in how homeownership can drive stability and savings in your life. As soon as you buy a home, your monthly housing costs will begin to work for you as forced savings, coming in the form of equity. As you build equity and grow your net worth, you can continue to reinvest those savings into your future, maybe even by buying that next dream home. The possibilities are truly endless.
2. Homeownership Is a Tax Break
One thing people who have never owned a home don't always think about are the tax advantages of homeownership. The same piece states:
"Both the interest and property tax portion of your mortgage is a tax deduction. As long as the balance of your mortgage is less than the total price of your home, the interest is 100% deductible on your tax return."
Whether you're living in your first home or your fifth, it's a huge financial advantage to have some tax relief tied to the interest you pay each year. It's one thing you definitely don't get when you're renting. Be sure to work with a tax professional to get the best possible benefits on your annual return.
3. Monthly Housing Costs Are Predictable
A third item noted in the article is how monthly costs become more predictable with homeownership:
"As a homeowner, your monthly costs are most likely based on a fixed-rate mortgage, which allows you to budget your finances over a long period of time, unlike the unpredictability of renting."
With a mortgage, you can keep your monthly housing costs steady and predictable. Rental prices have been skyrocketing since 2012, and with today's low mortgage rates, it's a great time to get more for your money when purchasing a home. If you want to lock-in your monthly payment at a low rate and have a solid understanding of what you're going to spend in your mortgage payment each month, buying a home may be your best bet.
Bottom Line
If you're ready to start feeling the benefits of stability, savings, and predictability that come with owning a home, let's get together to determine if buying a home sooner rather than later is right for you.

An auditor of a private company must be appointed for each financial year of the company, unless the directors resolve otherwise on the grounds that audited accounts are unlikely to be required.
For each financial year for which an auditor is appointed (other than the company's first financial year), the appointment must be made before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the end of the time allowed for sending out copies of the company's annual accounts for the previous financial year end, or if earlier, the day on which copies of the company's annual accounts for the previous financial year are due to be sent out.
Auditors are generally appointed by the members to whom they report by ordinary resolution while directors have the power to appoint auditors at any time before the company's first period for appointing auditors; following a period during which the company (being exempt from audit) did not have any auditor, at any time before the company's next period for appointing auditors; or to fill a casual vacancy.
The auditor is responsible for making a report to the company's members on all accounts of the company. The auditors' scope of work as required by the Companies Act requires them to report whether, in the auditors' opinion the annual accounts give a true and fair view of the balance sheet and profit and loss account and that the accounts have been properly prepared in accordance with the relevant financial reporting framework including international accounting standards and the requirements of the Act. In making the auditors report the auditor is required to comply with statutory obligations such as will enable him to form an opinion as to:
- whether adequate accounting records have been kept by the company and returns adequate for their audit have been received from any branches not visited by him, and
- whether the company's individual accounts are in agreement with the accounting records and returns, and
- in the case of a quoted company, whether the auditable part of the company's directors' remuneration is in agreement with the accounting records and returns.

If an accident happens, having the right amount of insurance can benefit you personally, financially, and legally. With Liability Coverage, you can be insured if you're held responsible for a car accident by having any medical payments for injuries sustained to drivers, passengers, and pedestrians, as well as bills for property damage covered. If you become legally liable as a result of a collision, liability also helps to pay for legal defense costs if you get sued.
There are two main components to Auto Liability: Bodily Injury and Property Damage liability.
If you're involved in a serious auto accident, Liability Coverage can benefit you by providing critical protection against the loss of your home, savings, and income. Not only is having liability a good idea, but most states require that drivers have it in order to be legal on the road. It's important to have enough insurance to keep all of your assets protected and not all auto policies are the same. Contact a representative with Pathway Insurance Agency today for more information about what Liability Coverage can do for you.

The horizon or skyline is the apparent line that separates earth from sky, the line that divides all visible directions into two categories: those that intersect the Earth's surface, and those that do not. At many locations, the true horizon is obscured by trees, buildings, mountains, etc., and the resulting intersection of earth and sky is called the visible horizon. When looking at a sea from a shore, the part of the sea closest to the horizon is called the offing. The word horizon derives from the Greek "ὁρίζων κύκλος" horizōn kyklos, "separating circle",from the verb ὁρίζω horizō, "to divide", "to separate", and that from "ὅρος" (oros), "boundary, landmark".
Historically, the distance to the visible horizon has long been vital to survival and successful navigation, especially at sea, because it determined an observer's maximum range of vision and thus of communication, with all the obvious consequences for safety and the transmission of information that this range implied. This importance lessened with the development of the radio and the telegraph, but even today, when flying an aircraft under visual flight rules, a technique called attitude flying is used to control the aircraft, where the pilot uses the visual relationship between the aircraft's nose and the horizon to control the aircraft. A pilot can also retain his or her spatial orientation by referring to the horizon.
In many contexts, especially perspective drawing, the curvature of the Earth is disregarded and the horizon is considered the theoretical line to which points on any horizontal plane converge (when projected onto the picture plane) as their distance from the observer increases. For observers near sea level the difference between this geometrical horizon (which assumes a perfectly flat, infinite ground plane) and the true horizon (which assumes a spherical Earth surface) is imperceptible to the naked eye dubious – discuss but for someone on a 1000-meter hill looking out to sea the true horizon will be about a degree below a horizontal line.

Creating resin bound surfacing for outdoor areas in Brochel IV40 8 involves combining natural stone aggregate with a polyurethane resin which, once installed, leaves a smooth and durable paving surface which can be used for many purposes. The best base type for the resin-bound system to be installed upon would be porous macadam as it's a SUDS compatible system meaning it is open textured to let water drain away correctly. Resin-bound gravel flooring is suitable for decorative outdoor paving surfaces in both commercial and domestic areas. The resin-bound surfacing is created onsite by combining the stone aggregate with the polyurethane binder so the design may be tailored to suit any size or shape.

Dentures are a replacement for missing teeth that can be removed and put back into your mouth as you please. Depending on each individual patient case, they may receive full or partial dentures. Full dentures are used when all of the natural teeth are removed from the mouth and replaced with a full set of dentures. There are two types of full dentures.
- Conventional Full Dentures - This is when all the teeth are removed and the tissue is given time to heal before the dentures are placed. It could take a few months for the gum tissue to heal completely, and during this time you will be without teeth.
- Immediate Full Dentures - Prior to having your teeth removed, your dentist takes measurements and has dentures fitted for your mouth. After removing the teeth, the dentures are immediately placed in your mouth. The benefit is that you do not have to spend any time without teeth. You will, however, need to have a follow up visit to refit your dentures because the jaw bone will slightly change shape as your mouth heels. The dentures will need to be tightened after the jaw bone has healed.
Partial dentures are another option when not all of your teeth need to be removed. This is similar to a bridge, but it is not a permanent fixture in your mouth.
Your dentures may take some time to get used to. The flesh colored base of the dentures is placed over your gums. Some people say that it feels bulky or that they don't have enough room for their tongue. Other times the dentures might feel loose. These feelings will affect the way you eat and talk for a little while. Over time, your mouth becomes trained to eat and speak with your dentures and they begin to feel more and more like your natural teeth. They may never feel perfectly comfortable, but it is much better than the alternative of not having teeth.
Even though dentures are not real teeth, you should care for them like they are. You should brush them to remove plaque and food particles before removing your dentures. After they have been removed you should place them directly into room temperature water or a denture cleaning solution. Never use hot water because it could warp the dentures. Your dentures are delicate, so make sure you are careful when handling them so you don't drop them. Also, never try to adjust your dentures yourself. You could ruin them, so you should always seek assistance from your dentist if they feel uncomfortable or loose.

Why Wait for the Shoe to Hit the Floor? The Case for Selling Now
Waiting to sell is akin to ignoring the smoke and flames in the crowded theater and hesitating until somebody yells "fire!" to rush for the now-jammed exit.
The stock market is supposed to be a discounting mechanism that anticipates and prices in developments six months out. This discounting mechanism has been broken for so long that many participants seem to have forgotten how to do anything but buy the dips, the Pavlovian response to any decline in stocks that has been rewarded with a food pellet for the past five years.
Are you like me? Ever since my first summer job decades ago, I've been chasing financial security. Not win-the-lottery, Bill Gates riches (although it would be nice!), but simply a feeling of financial control. I want my financial worries to if not disappear at least be manageable and comprehensible.
And like most of you, the way I've moved toward my goal has always hinged not just on having a job but a career.
You don't have to be a financial blogger to know that "having a job" and "having a career" do not mean the same thing today as they did when I first started swinging a hammer for a paycheck.
Even the basic concept "getting a job" has changed so radically that jobs--getting and keeping them, and the perceived lack of them--is the number one financial topic among friends, family and for that matter, complete strangers.
So I sat down and wrote this book: Get a Job, Build a Real Career and Defy a Bewildering Economy.
It details everything I've verified about employment and the economy, and lays out an action plan to get you employed.
I am proud of this book. It is the culmination of both my practical work experiences and my financial analysis, and it is a useful, practical, and clarifying read.
Test drive the first section and see for yourself. Kindle, $9.95 print, $20
"I want to thank you for creating your book Get a Job, Build a Real Career and Defy a Bewildering Economy. It is rare to find a person with a mind like yours, who can take a holistic systems view of things without being captured by specific perspectives or agendas. Your contribution to humanity is much appreciated."

The ground-breaking and controversial LOST GIRLS is now available as three digital volumes!
"Lost Girls is to erotic literature what Moore's now classic 1987 Watchmen (with Dave Gibbons) was to the superhero scene. Each busts the frames of its respective genre with formal precision; each reflects upon its own ways and means through books within the book; and, most importantly, each kicks great writing into hyperdrive with dense and resonant imagery. -- The Village Voice
"I think Lost Girls is not only one of the best things Alan Moore has ever written, I also think it's a fairly important work of art judged by any standard. It's genuinely dangerous. … One of the most human and heartfelt pieces of work of his career." -- Ain't It Cool News
"Intelligent writing, intricate plotlines and gorgeous Victorian-style art." -- USA Today
"As thoughtful as it is provocative." -- Wired Magazine
"As an exercise in the formal bounds of pure comics, Lost Girls is remarkable, as good as anything Moore has done in his career. ... Whatever you call it, there has never been anything quite like this in the world before, and I find myself extraordinarily pleased that someone of Moore's ability actually has written that sort of comics for adults." -- Neil Gaiman
For more than a century, Alice, Wendy and Dorothy have been our guides through the Wonderland, Neverland and Land of Oz of our childhoods. Now like us, these three lost girls have grown up and are ready to guide us again, this time through the realms of our sexual awakening and fulfillment. Through their familiar fairytales they share with us their most intimate revelations of desire in its many forms, revelations that shine out radiantly through the dark clouds of war gathering around a luxury Austrian hotel. Drawing on the rich heritage of erotica, Lost Girls is the rediscovery of the power of ecstatic writing and art in a sublime union that only the medium of comics can achieve. Exquisite, thoughtful, and human, Lost Girls is a work of breathtaking scope that challenges the very notion of art fettered by convention. This is erotic fiction at its finest.
109-page full-color digital graphic novel, FOR ADULTS ONLY
