The Nanbu district, the Pacific side of Aomori, had long suffered from severe easterly winds and long winter weather. To live in this hardship, their clothing culture had to inevitably evolve with various sewing methods which increased fabric longevity and heat insulation. Their Maekake-Aprons exhibited here were thus made as clothing for protection and warmth; made with two cotton fabrics on the sides and one indigo-dyed hemp fabric in the center stitched together. On the center hemp fabrics, you can see the amazing woolen embroideries.
Until the Meiji period in the Nanbu district, only black and white cottons were sewn on the center hemp. However, after the Taisho period (1912~1926), people started to gain colorful wool.
Wool is softer, warmer, and above all, prettier.
In their poor self-sufficient life, gaining just about 10-20 cm of wool was hard. Wool, a "fancy" material, was not suitable for working clothes as it was delicate and tore easy. For this reason it was only used to decorate their fashionable Maekake Aprons. In Aomori pref., women competed with each other using their sewing skills to express their desire for beauty upon the Aprons.
Wool has more color variations.Even though colorful wool was highly demanded, women would willingly share with others whenever they gained some. There was pleasure in collecting different colors and watching them piled up. In some instances they would even tear one thread of wool into 3 or 4 threads to share.
The woolen embroideries are puffy on the hemp surface as if affirming its prominent existence. Since the excessive wool threads on the surface frayed easily, women had to sew really carefully. Pulling the wool strongly when sewing, would cause complete distortion. Knowing its vulnerability to damages, women took a soft approach to precious wool with their marvelous sewing techniques. They had untainted love and compassion to understand the weakness and pain of wool.
Wool is a gift from sheep.
I wonder if the women who created those splendid Maekake-Aprons knew that wool was from sheep hair and had first come from across the oceans from a land called Europe.
It is a big surprise that the women already knew how to combine the cold texture of hemp with warm animal wool to make these great Aprons; a one of a kind brilliant and harmonious work of fabric art.
People were forced to optimize every single resource in their life of poverty. The appreciation of limited resources and their potential in creating interactive effects were acquired knowledge. Their passed down knowledge, hard earned, has contributed to the birth of rare combination of hemp and wool, named "Nanbu Hishizashi (diamond shape) Maekake-Aprons".
We cannot help but show our highest regards to the wisdom and bright intellect of all these nameless but exceptional women of the time.

Who wants to think up a meal starring Sun Gold tomatoes and eggplant?
I'm tired, I'm cranky, and I just don't feel like stopping by the store or a takeout place on the way home. I've tried to brainstorm dinner ideas, but when I close my eyes, I see spreadsheets and unending email chains.
Help me Chowhounds; you're my only hope!
I've got a pint of lovely Sun Gold cherry tomatoes and a very nice unknown variety eggplant that I'd like to eat tonight. I also have onions and fresh garlic. Maybe a lime or two, but little else in the way of produce. Garbanzo beans in the pantry, along with a pretty substantial collection of spices. Also in the pantry: pasta, brown rice, quinoa, and farro (which I bought on a whim and have no idea what to do with.) In the freezer, I have uncooked shrimp, and some wild salmon, but I'm fine with a vegetarian meal. Oh, and I think I have a radish rolling around the fridge. Bonus point for that using that one (just kidding, please don't make me eat the radish.)
I just want something quick and tasty, that won't fry too many more brain cells. Any ideas?
I'm not familiar with that kind of tomato, but I would make a pasta sauce - saute the onions and garlic, add cubed eggplant and tomatoes. If you have some hot red pepper flakes, add a small amount of those.
Good luck!
Slice thin rounds of the eggplant. Put just a bit of oil in a pan and start to fry the rounds. When they need more oil, add just a bit water or stock instead; repeat as necessary. The eggplant will come out as if fried in a the usual great amount of oil - but with just a bit of oil. Let cool, dice, and mix with the quartered tomatoes. Quick saute some garlic; mix all with s & p for a semi-fresh pasta sauce. Cook pasta and mix together.
Slice radish super thin and dress with a bit of sugar & vinegar brought to a boil in the MW; add bit of olive, s & p, oil and pour radish slices and dressing over torn lettuce.
My mother makes a Syrian dish with layers of eggplant and phyllo. I usually skip the phyllo and the baking dish and just make the filling, which melts down into a delicious mush. The basic recipe is just eggplant and chickpeas, but I would roast the cherry tomatoes and throw them on top. The amount of chickpeas depends on how much eggplant you have, but you can serve it over brown rice and add a little bit.
1 eggplant, peeled in alternating stripes
1 clove garlic
1 onion
1/2-1 can chickpeas
salt, pepper, red pepper flakes
Cut eggplant into 1" (approx) cubes.
Cut onion into slices, and carmelize until brown in olive oil in a medium pot.
When it's brown, add garlic, and saute until fragrant.
Add in eggplant cubes, and stir frequently. The eggplant will start to release water and break down. When this starts to happen, cover the pot, and stir every 5 min so nothing sticks to the bottom. If it gets really dry (it shouldnt) add a little water.
When the eggplant has totally disinterated and is bubbling, throw in the (drained) chickpeas, and stir, cooking until heated through. Add the salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. (I was taught to add spices at the end so that it doesn't toughen the eggplant)
Serve plain or over brown rice.
I usually make a few eggplants worth of this at a time, and take it for lunch till its gone.
You can also portion the eggplant mixture into ramekins and top with some shredded mozzarella or munster cheese and broil till the cheese is bubbly.
I just made some nice eggplant parm towers - just layer eggplant, tomatoe sauce (or those wonderful tomatoes that you have - roasted), cheese, then again (3 times). It was delish, had a slew of roasted vegies on the side - my first time roasting sugar snap pea - YUM!!!!
I make a sort of bastardized version of caponata, and I think the flavors would be really yummy served with quinoa or farro:
Cube the eggplant and salt in a colander for 1/2 hour to 1 hour (or not, I'm not sure how effective this step is, but I always do it anyway) and then rinse and dry the eggplant.
Saute in a little bit of oil until browned, but not necessarily cooked all the way.
Remove the eggplant and saute some finely diced / sliced onion and lots of chopped garlic with some salt, pepper and a bit more oil.
Add some vinegar (red wine and sherry work really nicely, but I bet any not-too strong vinegar would be nice, well, maybe not balsamic) and let it evaporate almost entirely.
Add the eggplant back in and then the tomatoes and let the whole thing stew. I like to add some thyme also.
Then a little sweetness (in the form of currents, raisins, sometimes i've used honey) and saltiness (capers or chopped olives, if available... or just a pinch more salt).
I've never added chickpeas, but I think they'd be pretty yummy in this too. If I have some around, I also add basil at the very end.
Taste for seasonings and voila!
Perhaps it seems a little weird, but I really like this dish and have been making a batch every weekend with the pretty eggplants that I've been seeing at the market.
Hey there,
wont go into details of how but here is something I do often. Chop aubergines into cubes, add salt and a pinch of turmeric, saute in olive oil till pale brown. Throw in garlic or ginger if you have any. Diced. Add cherry tomatoes and garbanzo beans, saute and turn. Salt and pepper or paprika to taste.
While this is cooking you can slather some olive oil on the wild salmon, salt and pepper and grill it. Squeeze lime juice if you want it tangy.
Pour aubergine/eggplant mixture on the salmon before you eat.
Easy, simple and no fuss.
I got some somegolds at the farmers market 2 weeks ago and they were fantastic...way better than I expected for late season tomatos. I would just halve them, salt them, toss w/ some minced garlic and basil if you have it. Let it sit while you cube salt, drizzle w/ olive oil and roast your eggplant . toss all w/ cooked pasta. yum. If you happen to have any orange infused olive oil (pantry staple at my house) a quick drizzle is ridiculously good on tomatos.

(KCEN) -- The Centers for Disease Control announced Thursday that approximately 75 of their staff members may have been exposed to live anthrax in Atlanta.
A group of lab workers were handling samples of anthrax they thought were inactive.
It's turns out the samples were live and these workers were not using protective equipment.
Also, procedures in at least 2 or 3 affected labs may have released anthrax spores into the air.
The CDC says the risk of infection is still low under the circumstances, but they are taking aggressive steps to treat those affected.

The omni-chanannel, real-time, everything's available environment we are currently living in has changed the marketing fundamentals quite radically. The world is no longer the same place for which The marketer E. Jerome McCarthy proposed a four Ps classification in 1960, which has since been used by marketers throughout the world. This age requires us to re-design them. Here's my attempt. Please comment and let's make them even better:
- Position – in customer's mind
- Performance – the user experience
- Proximity – How close the brand is to it's customers, Customer intimacy
- Price – Price is no longer a fixed figure
- Presence – instead of Place
- Perceived product
- Promotion
In this time and age there is a lot of everything. Customer's instinctively make their lives easier by using their mental shortcuts, heuristics, in order to make sense of the surrounding wealth of messages and impulses. The position a brand holds in the customer's mind connects it to certain contexts, values, benefits and purposes. This is why for example brand extensions are not necessary a certain success, as the position the brand has in customer's mind only consist of certain learned connections. Because of these reasons I would actually think Brand as a part of position in the customer's mind.
When customer's do buy a product or service they have certain expectations for what they bought. Depending on how well does the brand meet those expectations influence the customer's personal experience and view on the brands performance. Value for money is a very important measure for a brand and shared experiences influence the brand's Net promoter score directly. In my opinion performance has to do with the entire customer relationship life cycle across all events related to the brand.
Proximity is a synonym for distance. In order to create trust and relationship with customers, brands need to get up, close and personal with their customers. There should be as little distance as possible. At best, you can talk about customer intimacy. I would include PEOPLE in this category. Person-to-person communications are still extremely important in many businesses and particularly important in case the customer has support needs or wants a reclamation handled. People are the very core of trust experience and in many businesses customers imprint on persons serving them. In such cases the brand experience and loyalty has it's foundation on personal relationship: it's not about B2B or B2C, it's about Human-to-Human
Price used to be a rather fixed figure. In this age price has become a rather elusive measure. The new approaches to pricing are about yielding models and price variety between customer segments. There is one price for me and another to you, although the product and the seller are the same. There is a price for me right now and tomorrow. Online environment has made it possible to democratize offering and make pricing transparent by using aggregators and comparison services that find prices from different sellers and present them in one single view. This kind of approach has democratized the marketplace, because the aggregators only show certain comparable basic functionalities and push the brand further away from the customer. Actually these players like hotels.com, ebookers.com, groupon and those alike them are creating direct relationship with customers and effectively drive prices lower. Smaller players who have less known brands but can offer services and products at lower cost can find customers due to this logic. Price, however is still a very influential component.
I think that presence has replaced place on this list. In the digital era presence equals availability and direct access to buying. Presence is a more flexible concept than place, that is physical. Social media is a method of expanding presence across customer's peer groups and generating recommendations, participation and coverage in general. Aggregators also scale presence further. Those companies that are present are the most likely options for a customer and expanding presence directly impact sales. Out of sight – out of mind, is the name of the game.
PRODUCT is too often defined by companies as how they see and envision the product. This is naturally flawed/biased and is where many companies make a mistake in the first steps of selling and marketing their product/service. Especially engineer lead organizations that are very product detail focused. In reality this should be PERCEIVED PRODUCT, making an enormous paradigm shift from companies defining a product, to understanding that the PRODUCT is actually only and exactly what we can get the consumer to perceive it to be. This adds the element of communication responsibility and understandability to the 7P's equation. Most companies think they have the best product, but still fail, because of an enormous perception gap in the definition of the product in their minds and the potential customers minds.Perceived Products is naturally tightly linked to the second P = PERFORMANCE, which is all about (repeatedly) living up to, and exceeding the product perception and quality expectations of the customer (The definition of Perceived Product cam from Jarno Aho, OMD Finland. Thank you Jarno :)
What makes Jarno's Perceived product as a concept especially important is the fact that customer experience about a product or service is firmly embedded on expectations. When expectations are really high, it is difficult to meet those expectations. On the other hand low expectations are easy to exceed and translate them to endorsements. However, the fact is that perception has major influence
Here's the Wikipedia's definition: "All of the methods of communication that a marketer may use to provide information to different parties about the product. Promotion comprises elements such as: advertising, public relations, sales organisation and sales promotion.[1]" Another way to approach promotion can be divided in four major categories: 1) Owned media 2) Earned media 3) Partner media and 4) Paid media. An important measures for promotion are Reach and impact to brand awareness, preference, willingness to pay premium and convert sales. In the internet age of overwhelming availability of data, own media has increased it's capacity to impact sales tremendously. Search engine's page rank can be improved, own customer data can be leveraged very cost efficiently and the relationship with customers can drive further reach with earned social media and dialogue with customers. In the current online centric customer relationships in which marketing and servicing merge as one single messaging, it's increasingly difficult to define where the product or service ends and marketing/promotion starts.You could say that the core customer service and customer relationship processes have become promotional activities in the age of open online dialogue (eg. open innovation platforms like My Starbucks Idea, Dell Ideastorm, or IT&software companie's developer communities eg. Microsoft Developer Network) . Partnering influence reach and presence very effectively too. These reasons have diminished the role of paid mediums and increased promotional capacity and scalability very cost efficiently. Data driven marketing enable paid media's role as an extension of targeted customer relationship marketing even if the customer has never left her contacts.
These were my 7P's. What do you think? Does this list offer better food for planning than the original four? How could these be improved? Did I miss something?

JACKSON, MS (AP) Fifteen death row inmates have asked the Mississippi Supreme Court to reinstate their lawsuit that challenges how the state provides legal help for post-conviction claims.
The brief was filed Monday with the court.
Back in July, the Supreme Court declined to stop executions while it considered the appeal.
A Hinds County judge dismissed the case on May 14.
The original lawsuit included 16 inmates.
One of the plaintiffs was Gerald James Holland, who was executed May 20.
None of the remaining 15 inmates has had an execution date set through Monday.

BreakPoint Blog
Happy Birthday, Fearless Editor
Now here are some interesting ideas: http://www.hollandsentinel.com/news/x1699598526/Fundraising-dinner-takes-literary-twist
LQ, I'd have to read a lot of writers like Helen MacInnes whose books span Europe--Paris, Greece, Italy, yummm. Reading Dostoevsky's *Crime and Punishment* I'd have to serve water with a side of grubs.
LeeQuod, my cousin and I recently had pizza and brownies while watching the BBC adaptation of "Dombey and Son," but I was not without misgivings that it should have been steak and kidney pie. (Only I don't think I could have brought myself to eat it.)
The things that go on around here when I take a day off. :-) Thanks, you guys. Rolley, I don't think anyone's ever written me a birthday poem before! I shall cherish it. Catherine, you realize, of course, that your baby's first gift from me will be a complete set of Dickens. If I can just catch him or her young enough. . . . ;-) And by the way, a very happy birthday to Jason Taylor as well!
I should hasten to add that my suggestion to dissolve the work in acid is no reflection whatsoever on its literary value; just trying to help a friend fulfil an obligation. (Catherine, if asked, the correct answer to "What was your favorite part?" is "The last few pages!") // The technique of using toast on which to spread the precipitate does tangentially raise a question I could imagine coming from Gina, about the appropriate food to serve one's book club. I can imagine studying Dante's "Inferno" over a plate of pepperoncini and salsiccia piccante. "Oliver Twist" would demand gruel, naturally. A subtle wit might serve sushi with "Moby Dick", and include toothpicks. Others, anyone?
Keep up the good work!
Happy Birthday to / Our beloved editor / Gina Dalfonzo. // Gina, you are one of the world's great treasures, and you *always* brighten my day. I'm overwhelmingly blessed to know you. // Catherine, if you dissolve your copy of "A Tale of Two Cities" in hydrochloric acid, neutralize the acid with baking soda, wash the residue thoroughly and spread it on some toast (preferably adding jam, for flavor) it's possible to "finish" the book by tomorrow during breakfast. Better living through chemistry, I always say...
Happy Birthday to you!
The person they serve a subpoena // To find someone better than Gina // To edit our works // And filter our quirks // Will be rock and a hard place between a. // Many Happy Returns, Gina!
Happy Birthday, Gina! Thanks for everything you do!
Happy Birthday, Gina.
Happy Birthday Gina! Thanks for all you do around here. (And bonus, I've already finished "A Tale of Two Cities" !)
You so got me off the hook! Love it!
…And that may be awhile, Gina. I have it on good authority (i.e., myself, heh) that Catherine's devotions today were in this passage in John 11: "whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall NEVER die". (Which, as you will recall, was one of Sydney Carton's most beloved scriptures). =)

Adam Levine is enjoying the spoils of success, thanks to Maroon 5 and The Voice . He's just purchased a new estate for close to five million bucks.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the singer's new pad is in the Beverly Crest area of L.A., and is set on 3.6 acres. The property includes both a ranch-style home and a guest house, which between them have six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 6,539 square feet of living space. Of course, there's also a swimming pool and a tennis court.
In other Adam news, he told reporters on Friday that anyone who disses his fellow Voice coach, Christina Aguilera, because of her weight should just "grow up."
According to People magazine, Adam said, "The one thing about the culture right now, celebrity culture particularly, is people feel like they can just say nasty things about other people...She gets a lot and it pisses me off. Of course I have her back and of course I defend her."
He added, "It's not cool. I've never liked it. I think it's horrible and I'll totally defend [Christina] when people say things like that because it's no one's business."

Let me start with a short story. Just recently, I got involved in a car accident and thank god, nobody got hurt. Although, I had to see my one year old car being a total loss. So I went through a lot of trouble and paper work including the process of finding a new car, dealing with the bank, getting insurance, a new license plate, organising a new token for the companies parking lot, and so forth. At this time, I also noticed that I had to renew my drivers license. All in all, a lot of small and big errands to run and think about. What I noticed during this process was one thing;

As the Super Bowl looms large, you can't help but predict a winner.
As a sports writer, the week of the Super Bowl is the cream of the crop when it comes to sports media, as it allows every sports analyst to be on common ground. As for the game, we have a good one folks! Bring out your sodas and cheese puffs because you have two teams that were the best: the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints squaring off in Super Bowl XLIV at SunLife Stadium in Miami. Both are number one seeds, both with great quarterbacks and explosive offenses. For either team to win, they will need to be successful at one thing, and one thing only: running the football.
Whichever team can run the ball, eat up the clock, and mainly keep the opposing quarterback off the field will win the game. While common stats heavily favors the Saints, a whopping 131 to 80 yards on the ground as a team, I'm going to make a bold pick. I say the Colts outrush the Saints, open the play action passing game, and have a field day on the banged up secondary of New Orleans. You may be thinking I'm ludicrous to be running the ball with the MVP Peyton Manning as your quarterback, but I think the Colts will have great success on the ground because of the Saints respect for the pass.
If the Colts can convince the Saints that they can run, they will force them to stop the run, letting play-making receivers like Reggie Wayne or Pierre Garçon to make big plays in the passing game in 1 on 1 situations. As for the defense, I believe the Colts defense is fast and small enough to handle the speed and spread of the Saints offense, and with two power pass rushers, Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis, they might be able to force fumbles.
It's the Super Bowl…anything can happen.

A victorious launch for the Rockets (29-25) in the windy city, and a huge performance over the best team in the NBA: Chicago (42-13).
An unfortunate setback for Bulls nation, but what a way for Houston to continue its push toward the playoffs.
"Seeing the situation right now at this point, the way we're playing, we've got a pretty good chance to do this," Luis Scola, a Rockets forward who poured in 18 points and 12 rebounds at United Center, said.
Assuming the Rockets keep winning, can they stay in the top eight in the West to make the playoffs?
"As a team, we're helping each other on the court and off the court," Goran Dragic, the Rockets starting point guard, said. "And, you know, that means something special, especially for this season because it's so short."
Too short.
Can you believe there are only 12 games left in the Rockets' regular season?
"If we make [the] playoffs then we're gonna play maybe against Oklahoma [City] or San Antonio," said Dragic. "We knew we split those games [with those teams earlier this season]."
No easy task against either team.
The Rockets said they're grateful that Dragic has been stepping up during their run.
"He's been waiting for an opportunity, and he's been prepared," Courtney Lee, a Rockets shooting guard, said. "When he got his opportunity he just went out there and is just showcasing his ability."
Alright Rockets fans, since it looks like your team has the ability to possibly reach the playoffs, how dangerous would this group be?
"We don't know because we are so focused on the playoffs. It's hard for us to look beyond that," said Scola. "I believe the best approach we can have is just to win games."Winning out down the stretch isn't such a bad idea is it?

I used proactiv for a year and it was the only thing i tried for my acne. It worked with a few pimples here and there. Then i decided to switch to regular acne face washes they sell at walmart. I had the worst acne of my life.
Months later i started taking triness (birth control) but started using the proactiv again around the same time. My face was the clearest its been since i was 10. Only time i would get a pimple was around my period.
a few weeks ago i stopped taking the bc but continued the proactiv. I broke out on one of my cheeks very bad. Two weeks later i went back on wondering if the bc cleared me up. No more new pimples and that terrible one is healing.
So im thinking the birth control is helping with the acne so it must be hormonal.
Do you think its the birth control thats keeping my face nice, or the proactiv?
Im wondering if i could continue my bc, but slowly ween myself off proactiv to another cheaper less harsh product and still keep my clear complexion.. please help
Proactiv Or Birth Control?

If your acne is hormonal, then you need to treat it with a hormonal treatment. ProActive is not a hormonal treatment. Birth control is.
You'll find many women stay on birth control or spironolactone long-term to keep their skin clear. Personally I am on spiro.

I was on Yaz BC for a long time and my skin was gorgeous!! I loved it. If you have no reason to go off the BCP's, DON'T. I'm sure that's what is keeping you clear. As for your cleanser, I don't think you necessarily need the ProActiv. I stopped using a product specifically for acne, and just used a cleanser that would clean my skin. I personally like the Olay Regenerist cleansers. A little pricey, but WAY cheaper than ProActiv.

ProActive is a SCAM

So sometimes when I can't sleep or I've worked late, I'll get caught up on some news with ABC's World News Now. Last night I happened to catch a story that made me go hmmmmmmmm.
An 87 year old California woman, who lived in a independent living community, had collapsed and was in need of medical assistance. So an employee of the residence called 911 and the dispatcher was trying to get the employee to perform CPR on the elderly woman and the employee refused. It was against the independent living community's polices. The elderly woman later passed.
Now what made me go hmmm was how could this employee sit back and do nothing. Sometimes you have to say screw policy and help out someone in need! I know I could never just sit back and watch someone die.
So that also made me wonder, What would you do in that situation? Would you follow policy or would you perform CPR?

365 Project II: Week 14
I've been doing some serious slacking on my 365 Project. These past few days I've been swamped with work from clients and school and in addition to all that I ended up buying an old 1975 Honda CL360 as a restore project. I haven't been able to do much photography work because of all this, in fact I even stopped carrying my camera around (really no point considering I barely leave the house now), and started using my phone for most of my shots. Aside from school and finals, I'm hoping to have my other projects taken care of within the next 2 weeks and the workload is beginning to lighten, so hopefully I can get back to taking pics soon.

CitiExpress Pilots Mull Strike Options
The pilots of British Airways' wholly owned regional subsidiary CitiExpress last month began consultations with union leaders over industrial action after talks about restructuring the division broke down. BA planned to announce late last month that further changes at CitiExpress would result in the closure of bases at some airports and the loss of more pilot jobs. British Airways plans to cut 3,000 jobs throughout the company by October.
On April 14 the British Air Line Pilots Association (BALPA) began sending ballots to CitiExpress' some 600 pilots to gauge sentiment for or against a possible strike. BALPA stressed that its complaint centers on CitiExpress' unilateral moves to change work rules and reorganize without the consultation of the union. BALPA officials claim that the airline reneged on an agreement to introduce outside mediators into the discussions.
In a letter mailed to pilots in March, CitiExpress managing director David Evans acknowledged that management and the union needed to "rebuild the relationship" because of the "difficulty in achieving a constructive dialogue."

It is a Swarm demo. Swarm is a JavaScript real-time model sync library. It synchronizes JavaScript objects for clients and servers alike. Swarm solves the M in MVC.
In the demo above, 9 onscreen iframes are connected to 9 different servers. Servers are connected to each other. The position of every card suit sign is synchronized between iframes using WebSocket connections. Try hovering a mouse over some iframe. All nine copies of your sign must follow.
It also syncronizes positions of other people's mouse pointers. In case somebody else is playing with the page right now, you should see their suit signs moving. Those are smaller.
Servers go offline randomly to test how other servers reconfigure the topology. Then they go back online pulling the state from other servers.
Still, the client and the server are mostly synchronized using HTTP request based APIs. That model is implicitly based on the historical "static website, dumb client" model. That model increasingly deverges from the reality. Without even mentioning real-time collaboration and updates, these days we may even need to synchronize various devices used by the same user.
Mapping the old model to the new reality is a really painful experience: fetch some model from the database in several steps of asynchronous logic, and then you need another one. Synchronizing multiple clients is even worse. Meanwhile, the problem is really basic and easy to formalize: just keep those objects synchronized.
So, we are scratching our own itch. Or more precisely, putting bandages on our own wounds :)
It uses WebSocket in the browser and node.js on the server. Servers talk to each other by WebSocket as well. Each object change is timestamped and versioned. Version identifiers are similar to those used by MongoDB and others. They are essentially Lamport timestamps.
Once a client is interested in some object, it subscribes to it at the server. The server talks to other server that is responsible for the object. We use consistent hashing to appoint the responsible server, although that is pluggable. Together, servers form a spanning tree to propagate updates efficiently. The tree is different for every object.
We assume that servers form a full mesh which can only be disrupted temporarily. As servers come and leave, the load is redustributed. Swarm gives no guarantees regarding transactions or persistence, but it can deliver the data to your backend. It is just a 1000-line JavaScript library, after all.
Meteor took the general approach of proxying MongoDB to the client side. We do it the other way around: we deliver JavaScript objects to and fro the backend.
Compared to Derby (and Meteor as well), Swarm is one tool for one job. It imposes nothing. It just synchronizes JavaScript objects.
Differently from Firebase, Swarm is an open library you may run inside your own setup. No lock-in.
Backbone is an MVC framework assuming an HTTP/JSON API behind it. Swarm only replaces the HTTP/JSON part. Well, it also emits change events. Swarm is the M. Probably, we should spell it swarM.
Sure. You may read the source code of this demo, check out the docs or explore the entire project. swarm.js itself is ~1000 lines long, so you may read it all.

Planning and Sustainability MA
|Start date
|Full time
|1 year
|2 days a week
Choose Kingston's Planning and Sustainability MA
If you would like to specialise in planning and land development but your interests extend beyond issues of profitability, risk and return to include the wellbeing of communities and issues of sustainability, then this course is ideal. It is designed to integrate the theory and practice of spatial or town and country planning with the growing pressures for urban and rural developments to meet community needs and sustainable criteria.
The course is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) for 2014 entry. Find out more.
What will you study?
The course is split between taught and research modules. In the taught section, you will be introduced to the concepts of sustainability, regeneration and urban design, and will gain an understanding of the legal and institutional frameworks, including policy governing planning and development. You will also discover how urban environments can be planned and developed to meet sustainable criteria. The research element of the curriculum comprises training in research methods, the preparation and presentation of a conference paper, and a dissertation or masters project.
Essays, seminar papers, reports, plans and presentations, case studies, major research-based project or dissertation, conference paper presented at the annual student masters conference.
Course structure
Please note that this is an indicative list of modules and is not intended as a definitive list. Those listed here may also be a mixture of core and optional modules.
- Planning and Sustainable Development
Planning and Sustainable Development
This module is an essential ingredient in the study of spatial planning and its associated decision making processes for development to proceed in the UK. There is an expectation that the legal framework, including European provisions and any pending changes providing for the implementation of the system, is critically applied and evaluated. Land and property development is closely linked with all aspects of planning so the module also enables students to understand the development process in detail from the viewpoint of developers such that they can facilitate development effectively. The way in which funding packages, development economics and the macroeconomic environment can influence development and planning, including sustainability issues, is explored by the use of case studies and practical examples, possibly involving a site visit. From the planning perspective, a practical application of decision making is delivered through the reflective evaluation of planning issues for a local case study in a written statement and the implementation of the main processes involved in a public inquiry through role play.
- Spatial Planning and Urban Design
Spatial Planning and Urban Design
Urban design has become an integral part of the spatial planning system in the UK. This module aims to develop your awareness and appreciation of place making, particularly in the European context.
Assessment involves individual as well as team work, with reference to both theory and practice. You must:
- produce a critical appraisal of the impact of planning theories; and
- apply the principles of urban design to the production of a design scheme for a real life scenario.
- Evolving Cities
Evolving Cities
The majority of the world's population live in cities: a critical appreciation of their nature – past, present and sustainable future – is essential for those concerned with the built environment. The constant regeneration of cities can only be achieved by integrating well-rounded strategies that encompass the complex socio-economic systems that inhabit and create the urban environment. This module provides debate on the theoretical concepts of the City: urban, suburban and rural spatial planning contexts. It enables the evaluation and critique of the criteria which govern the evolution of future sustainable communities.
- Socio-economic Sustainabilty in the Environmental Context
Socio-economic Sustainabilty in the Environmental Context
This module aims to introduce students to the key principles of sustainability, adopting the three pillars of balancing social needs and justice, seeking economic prosperity and environmental responsibility.
Through examination of the main theories and contentions under each head as applied to the built environment, students engage with debates as to the application of theory to professional behaviours, knowledge and ethics.
Through this they explore the adequacy or otherwise of policy responses in order to arrive at their own stance in relation to sustainability. The module is taught through a series of inter-active lectures and seminars and assessed through an essay, a synoptic paper and a group report.
- Research Principles and Application
Research Principles and Application
This module aims to provide you with a sound grounding in research principles and methodologies that are commonly applied within the built environment. Throughout a series of lectures and seminars, supported by tutorials and exercises you are encouraged and enabled to develop your critical reasoning powers and to gain practice in researching ideas and knowledge and in the design of relevant research instruments. By the end of the module you should be confident to and capable of designing and self-initiating a significant individual piece of research relevant to your programme of study. Assessment of the module is through the execution of a literature review, a short research collection and analysis activity and the design of a research project.
- Research Project
Research Project
This module provides the opportunity for you to undertake a piece of original work related to your own area of study, which acts as the 'capstone' project for their studies. Through investigation of an area related to your studies they will develop a theoretically informed body of work that integrates both theory and practice. It may take the form of a dissertation, a practice project, design or experiment-based project depending on the appropriateness related to the programme studied. The module is supported by a series of lectures and individual tutorials. Following the major submission students present and defend their findings in open forum at a Masters Students Conference, thereby providing them to practice skills that they will require in their subsequent professional work. Assessment is by the main submission and the oral presentation and defence.
You will have the opportunity to study a foreign language, free of charge, during your time at the University as part of the Kingston Language Scheme. Options currently include: Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

The capital murder trial hasn't even started and already murder suspect Rosendo Rodriguez III may be forced to find a new defense attorney. A hearing at the Lubbock County Courthouse revealed Rosendo Rodriguez's attorney may be a material witness in the case.
It starts on September 13th, Rodriguez is accused of killing Summer Baldwin. If you recall a city worker found her body inside a suitcase at the Lubbock City Landfill on that date. She was pregnant at the time. Evidence later led police to the Holiday Inn at 8th and Avenue Q, where they believe Baldwin was killed.
The biggest development is the motion filed by the District Attorney's office on Wednesday. The motion was to disqualify Rodriguez's defense attorney, Albert Rodriguez. Rosendo is claiming self defense, he says the night Baldwin died she was carrying two knives. Rodriguez allegedly took those knives and gave them to his attorney, who then turned the knives over to police. Because the attorney had evidence in his possession, he may be considered a material witness in the case making him ineligible to represent Rodriguez. A disqualification hearing is set for ten o'clock Thursday morning.
The other big development it that a Lubbock Police investigator testified that the Sheriff's Office is investigating Rosendo Rodriguez in the disappearance of Joanna Rogers. She has been missing since May 2004. However, the investigator couldn't confirm or deny how much evidence the Sheriff's Office has linking Rogers with Rodriguez.
Also important to note, Rodriguez was asking for his bond to be reduced. It's currently set at half a million dollars. The judge will make a decision on that in early January.
