Insert virtual tour into a specific piece of HTML
Presupuesto £20-250 GBP
Please read the whole project description before you bid. There is one specific request below to bidders in this project. Get that right and you will be considered. Get it wrong and your bid will be ignored immediately. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
I am a member of a couple of websites where, normally one uses the built-in editor. However I can switch to HTML view to edit my profile information and also when I am posting information about events.
I have a virtual tour loaded onto my own server which works perfectly on Chrome and Firefox on my Windows 10 laptop.
Rather than just put a simple "new tab" link to the virtual tour, I would rather insert the virtual tour in the viewed profile in a box within the HTML.
However, as these are not sites I control I do not have access to the <head> area and cannot access to [url removed, login to view]
So I'm guessing that this will have to be a scaled iframe setting the tour inside a size-defined piece of existing HTML within the <BODY> area
I will place the code you produce by editing the HTML itself as I can only use a basic <P> command. I have no access to the sites' CSS.
So your job is to
1. rewrite that iframe command to accommodate my virtual tour scaled so that is fully visible on variable.
2. ensure that it can be viewed on all major PC, Apple and phone browsers (iPhone, Android and Windows Phone).
3. if it can't be displayed on mobile devices, please tell me why.
My tour is at [url removed, login to view]
Please don't try to tell me to change anything I cannot affect. I will not give you access to my username or password on the sites where I want to place the virtual tour.
Please don't tell me to change how the virtual tour is coded or presented. I'm happy with it.
Please stick to the job specification.
Important: Please give one, (just ONE, not two, not three, not more), URL where you have done the same job. You get one chance to get this right.
WARNING, if you give me more than one URL, I will assume you can't understand simple instructions and I will reject your bid.
Generic bids will be rejected unless amended within one hour.
Blank bids will be rejected after one hour.

The missions are interesting too, and this game actually manages to give us interesting side-quests. You won't have to worry about completing mundane fetch quests that plague so many RPG games; instead RAGE's side-quests reveal interesting side stories or offer fun things to do like protecting your allies from waves of mutants as they try to repair a vehicle.
The single-player campaign is a little short and ends rather abruptly, but it's likely to run you anywhere from 10-15 hours, depending on how much time you spending completing side quests. Once it's over, you can occupy yourself with the competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes. The former pits you and up to five other players in frantic dune buggy fights that put your driving skills to the test. The latter includes several missions that can be completed with a friend online. I would've preferred a more fleshed-out competitive multiplayer, since the current offering is pretty shallow, and it would've been nice if the campaign could be taken on with a friend. But as it stands, these are still viable options to keep this game in your collection long after you've beaten it.
Does RAGE push boundaries and set a new bar for future shooters to come? Not really. But it doesn't need to. Instead of trying to revolutionize a genre, id has given us another stellar game that's taken elements from a few different games, in many cases improved them, and seamlessly integrated them into RAGE's world. Everything about this game is polished to near-perfection: the guns feel satisfying and the quests aren't comprised of the lame "fetch this" or "go kill that" missions that many of us have grown tired of long ago. This is a game that manages the impressive feat of appealing to many different types of gamers without sacrificing any of its quality. Even if you're on the fence as to whether or not this is something you'd be interested in, I'm sure that if you give it a chance you'll find something worthwhile in the savage and exciting world that is RAGE.

Compton, CA rapper The Game pleaded not guilty Tuesday (Sept. 25) to three felony charges in court.
The Game (born Jayceon Terrell Taylor) was charged with one count each of making criminal threats, possession of a firearm in a school zone and exhibiting a firearm on the grounds of a facility for minors.
The felony charges stem from an alleged run-in with Rodrick Shannon during a Feb. 24 basketball game at a South Los Angeles school.
Shannon testified at a Sept. 4 preliminary hearing that he exchanged words with the rapper during the game, which took place at the Rita Walters Educational Learning Complex.
The Game, who was playing for an opposing team, hit Shannon in the left cheek with a closed fist after telling him that his team was "garbage," according to Shannon, who testified that he and the rapper later got into a fighting stance.
Soon after, The Game went out a door after people from his team grabbed Shannon.
As he went into the Complex parking lot to look for his son, Shannon revealed that he became fearful as he saw Taylor reach into a Cadillac Escalade and wield a firearm.
"He started proceeding towards me. The gun was still in his hand," Shannon said on the stand. "He yelled that I'm a ... fool. I turned around and ran because I feared for my life."
During cross-examination, Shannon denied any intention to file lawsuit against The Game.
He later testified that the 27-year-old rapper had his gun pointed down at the time of the incident.
Los Angeles police caught up with The Game at his home in Glendale on May 11 as they executed a search warrant and arrested the former G-Unit member.
The Game is currently free on $50,000 bail.
A pretrial hearing for the case is scheduled for Oct. 30.
If convicted, The Game could face more than five years in prison.

A former Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc trader was sentenced to 50 months in jail on Friday after pleading guilty to fraud in a case that dates back to 2010, according to a person at the bank with direct knowledge of the case.
Shirlina Tsang was an RBS bond trader who was caught falsifying records of her trades, said the person, who was not authorized to speak on the record about the case.

Edwin Choy, one of the lawyers representing Tsang, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
"As a result of an internal review about two years ago, we discovered suspected fraudulent activities concerning a former member of staff in Hong Kong," RBS said in an emailed statement sent to Reuters on Friday. "We took immediate action to notify the relevant authorities and the individual was dismissed."
RBS said that the bank has cooperated with the authorities and is pleased that the case has been resolved.
Tsang, 43, pleaded guilty on August 30 for trying to hide losses of 19.5 million pounds ($30.8 million), according to the source.

Okay, I can't be the only one on this site who was cursing today when it was blowing, after nothin' but zeros on Sunday.
I mean, blowing off work is one thing, but Monday? I felt like the priest in Caddyshack today, nothing was going right at work anyway, and that wind just had to get stiffer and stiffer in my face as the day went on. Nice and warm, too.

I hear retirement horror stories all the time.
A husband and wife, happily married for decades, have strong careers, stable home lives, and a vibrant social network -- but no retirement savings. None. They haven't socked away one red cent despite their lengthy careers and promising futures. How can this be? How can two people who have so much have so little when it comes to planning for the rest of their lives?
The answer, of course, is that the money was spent on other things. Maybe he's a bit of a spendthrift -- buying the next boat, the next new suit, the next new high-def, flat-screen television. Maybe she's racked up massive credit card debt. They never invested in 401(k)s or IRAs, or maybe they put in a minimal contribution and never followed up on it. Despite their steady paychecks, the big-ticket purchases and credit card bills have slowly eaten away at their savings.
Get your head above water
In his Rule Your Retirement newsletter service, Robert Brokamp features stories of people from all walks of life who have overcome many obstacles to propel themselves into a happy retirement. The common thread? They treated their future as an eventuality, not a possibility, and they saved and invested accordingly.
But there's hope for those who've started their retirement planning on the wrong foot -- we'll call them the late bloomers.
Retiree role models
I'd like to introduce you to Marika and Howard Stone. After getting a taste of retirement, they decided to go back to work for fun, tackling projects that caught their respective interests. The Stones now spend their time encouraging would-be retirees to reconsider the stereotypical retirement of shuffleboard and bingo and instead choose jobs that will both keep them active and bring in some extra cash. Sensible, indeed -- and lucrative, too!
Or there's Billy and Akaisha Kaderli, who at age 38 retired to travel the world on just $24,000 a year. Sure, they may have retired early, but they're also living on much less than the average family, and their advice on how to live frugally is invaluable for late bloomers trying to get back up to speed.
So what do they suggest you do? Eliminate debt immediately by paying off credit cards and other outstanding bills. Always live below your means. Figure out how low your "cost per day" can be, and watch it like a hawk. And, finally, remember that the best things in life can be free -- material goods don't equal happiness.
But what about the folks who didn't start planning ahead like the Stones or the Kaderlis?
The rest of us
Fool contributor Paul Eckler suggests a "22-11" plan, wherein retirees-to-be live on 22% of their income in exchange for retiring in 11 years.
Granted, that's a big step, and one that might be unattainable for many of us. But, as Eckler stresses, it's a good guideline to start with and manipulate to fit your situation.
"For those who truly want to retire early, the calculation provides an incentive to cut those expenses to the bone or perhaps consider increasing income," Eckler wrote in one issue of Rule Your Retirement. "A career change for better pay is one possibility. Taking a second job can also do the trick. The bottom line is: Those who make the effort can succeed."
There are more ways to launch a successful retirement, even if you're running behind schedule. Implement a debt-elimination plan pronto by cutting up or hiding your credit cards and paying them down religiously. Open up some higher-yielding savings vehicles, such as money markets and CDs, and plunk some of your long-term dollars in there (and remember, pay yourself first!). Don't dismiss the benefit of jumping into a 401(k) -- particularly if your company matches some of your contributions! -- or an IRA. Though you'll have missed some key years of compounding, you'll still be ahead of where you were -- and closer to where you want to be.
The closer you get to your anticipated retirement, the more conservative you'll want to be with these investments. A fund like the Vanguard Target Retirement 2020, which incorporates other Vanguard funds such as the Vanguard Emerging Markets Fund and the Vanguard European Stock Index, can be a great way to assure diversity, as well as lower your risks each year as your retirement nears. So can an exchange-traded fund (ETF) such as the Nasdaq100 Trust
The Foolish bottom line
Robert Brokamp offers key tips like these in each and every issue of Rule Your Retirement. (Click here for a free trial, which will grant you access to first-person retirement success stories, too.) The truth is, even the financially challenged husband-and-wife team I mentioned earlier can live well in retirement -- if they reprioritize. With hard work and a retooled mindset, even the latest bloomers can bask in the glory of a rosy retirement.

By Hindustan Times
"Nothing is unfilmable," says author Salman Rushdie, whose Midnight's Children, an epic Indian tale of partition, independence and emergency told with touches of magical realism, has been turned into a movie by Deepa Mehta.
Rushdie, known as a controversial author whose Satanic Verses was
banned in India, wrote the screenplay and did the narration for the movie based on his book said he "learned a great deal" during the process. He says he is an admirer of Deepa Mehta's body of work and their "friendship grew deeper" as the movie progressed.
"We were not pulling in different directions, but trying to make the same film, and our friendship grew much deeper as the work progressed," Rushdie said in an interview, adding that he has so far not thought about direction.
Midnight's Children revolves around the life of Salim Sinai, who is born at the stroke of midnight on Aug 15, 1947. Starring actors like Satya Bhabha, Shabana Azmi, Seema Biswas, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, and Darsheel Safary, 'Midnight's Children' is releasing in India Feb 1.
According to Rusdhie, Seema as Mary Pereira "is simply incredible".
Excerpts from interview:
How effectively and deeply has the film Midnight's Children managed to convey the spirit and essence of your novel?
I'm happy that so many people who have seen the film have felt that it did justice to the original. Various Indian writers have seen it already, including Anita Desai, Kiran Desai, Suketu Mehta, and I've been much heartened by their approval.
Which of the actors in 'Midnight's Children', in your opinion, have nailed their characters most effectively?
We are incredibly lucky in our cast. The performances throughout the film are outstanding and it would be hard to pick out one or two names. But if you twist my arm, I would say that Seema Biswas as Mary Pereira is simply incredible.
How closely were you associated with the making the film? Would you be tempted to direct your film at some point in the future?
Well, I wrote the screenplay and did the narration, and was regularly involved in the editing process. I wanted to roll up my sleeves and work during the film, and I did. We all did. And I learned a great deal. Don't know about directing. I might leave that to Deepa.
Mr. Rushdie, you recently published your memoirs which, as expected, became hugely controversial. Do you feel that your reputation almost invariably precedes your works?
I am happy with the reception of 'Joseph Anton', which has been overwhelmingly positive. There will always be some negative voices. I don't think much about that kind of thing. I try to do the best work I can and offer it to my readers and on this occasion the readers' response has been very gratifying.
Mr.Rushdie, Midnight's Children is actually the first adaptation of your book to cinema. Do you consider your books 'unfilmable'? If so, how did the impossible become possible in the film?
Nothing is unfilmable. Good films have been made of Anna Karenina, Ulysses and The Tin Drum, even the works of Proust. It's just a question of finding the way, and that's what we tried to do. There's no magic trick, just hard work.
Deepa Mehta and you are friends. Did you trust her with the film adaptation because of your friendship or were you impressed by her earlier films?
Yes, I admired her earlier films deeply, most particularly Fire and Water. Also, I rapidly found that we had very similar instincts about how to approach this project. We were not pulling in different directions, but trying to make the same film, and our friendship grew much deeper as the work progressed.
Mr.Rushdie, who according to you are the promising upcoming literary figures from India?
Rana Dasgupta, Jeet Thayil, so many more. I greatly liked Nilanjana Roy's 'cat novel', The Wildings.
Do you think the symbiotic relationship between cinema and literature has been effectively tapped in Midnight's Children?
I think this really is for audiences to say.
Finally, sir, do you watch Hindi films? Who are your favourite actors and which are your favourite Indian films in recent times?
I'm not really up to speed in the Hindi cinema, I'm sorry to say. But I'm glad that some years ago Aamir Khan showed me "Taare Zameen Par". I liked it very much. That's where I first saw Darsheel Safary, who went on to play young Saleem in Midnight's Children.

by Mohamed ZayaniGeorge Ritzer's "The McDonaldization of Society" is a lucid, and, in many ways, provocative analysis of the increasing entrenchment and steady institutionalization of the logic and structure of McDonald's in almost all spheres of vital activities. For Ritzer, McDonald's is not simply in the restaurant business. Rather than an efficient, cheap, and fast meal, McDonald's offers a whole modus vivendi. This notorious chain has come to epitomize a scandalous and increasingly insistent phenomenon -- McDonaldization; that is, the ways in which the principles of the fast-food restaurant operate in an increasingly wide array of social settings (such as the work place, higher education, and health care). Contributing to the acceleration of these structural changes are several factors, the most important being: the aggressive seeking of economic interests, the pursuit of McDonaldization as an end in itself (and, in many ways, as an attachment to a traditional life style), and McDonaldization's attunement to certain changes taking place within society (namely, increased mobility, expanding needs, working parents, and technological changes).According to Ritzer, the socioeconomic structures adumbrated by the process of McDonaldization revolve around four interconnected principles: efficiency, calculability, predictability, and control. In a McDonaldizing society, the pressure for efficiency -- that is, the search for the optimum means for a given end -- is enormous. This pressure calls for increasing calculability -- that is, the emphasis on quantity rather than quality -- which in turn leads to a predictability that is enhanced all the more by the creation of precise, programmable, non-human technologies. This pursuit of systematization, standardization, consistency, scientific management, and methodological operation is itself motivated by the desire for greater control over people.Central to Ritzer's argument is Max Weber's theory of bureaucracy and the larger process of rationalization that underlies it. While for Weber bureaucracy is the model of rationalization, for Ritzer the fast food restaurant is the paradigm of McDonaldization. Both instances describe an organizational model that strives to eliminate inefficiency, irrationality, uncertainty, and unpredictability. It should not overhastily be concluded, however, that the two processes are the same. McDonaldization is not just an extension of rationalization, it is also an extreme version of it or, as Ritzer himself puts it, "a quantum leap" in the process of rationalization. Seen from this vantage point, Ritzer's project is not only an elaborate analysis of the McDonaldization of contemporary society, but also a pointed critique of the excesses of rationalization, in particular, and the legacy of modernity, in general. While many proclaim the end of modernity, Ritzer argues for its continuing strong hold. His book takes issue with the common view that we live in an era that is radically different from the previous one: "a number of contemporary perspectives, especially postindustrialism, post-Fordism, and postmodernism contend that we have already moved beyond the modern world and into a new, starkly different society. These views imply that this book is retrograde because it deals with a 'modern' phenomenon that will soon disappear with the emergence of a new societal form. This book contends, however, that McDonaldization and its 'modern' characteristics not only are here for the foreseeable future, but also are influencing society at an accelerating rate." While other sociologists emphasize a shift in modern society from uniformity, predictability, and standardization to contingency, uncertainty, and deregulation, Ritzer emphasizes the increasing domination of a system -- that is, McDonaldization -- that is built on many of the ideas that have prevailed in industrial societies, namely bureaucratization, the assembly line, and scientific management.
In the rationalized settings imposed by McDonaldization people be-have not as human beings but as functions of the system. A McDonaldized society is not just a panoptic society a la Foucault -- that is, a society that is structured around quasi-utilitarian principles and based on self-policing -- but also a dehumanizing society: "though it at least appears that people still control them, these rational systems can spin beyond the control of even those who occupy the highest positions within those systems." Because red tape can render bureaucracies increasingly inefficient and unpredictable, individuals become both confused and counterproductive. The anger and frustration generated by the inadequacies of nonhuman technologies can even lead people to undercut or sabotage the operation of such technologies.
Wilhelm Reich and Sexual PoliticsIn his search to uncover and analyse the still obscure relationship between "social being" and "consciousness", the German Marxist and psychoanalyst, Wilhelm Reich, published his important study Massenpsychologie des Faschismus (The Mass Psychology of Fascism) in 1933, causing his expulsion from the German communist party. Reich attempted to explain Fascism broadly in the form of a bizarre political economy of sex. Elaborating on themes drawn principally from Freud and Engels, he defined fascism as a political manifestation of the psychology of the broad masses frustrated in successive and failed attempts at collective action to attain the democratisation of society in their own interests. Reich's thesis was that sexual inhibition, rooted in the authoritarian family (repressing infant masturbation and the sexual intercourse between adolescents), was ultimately the cause of the authoritarian state's structure and fascist ideology. There was more than a whiff of Saussure-like determinism in this aspect of Reich's work. Reich argued that the Freudian unconscious, characterised as the antisocial element in the human structure, is simply a secondary result of the repression of primary biological impulses by the authoritarian family which is at root of the authoritarian state. Exactly as the patriarchal authority of the father requires sexual abstention on the part of women and children in the family, so too authoritarianism and nationalism are a continuation of these repressed family ties at the level of state structures, holding back democratisation and true freedom. Even modern imperialism is liked back to inter-family rivalry characterised as "family imperialism".According to Reich, World War I provided the crucial external stimulus to move this family repression into a new and fascist phase, as it put paid to many of the already decaying authoritarian institutions in Europe and underlay a subsequent attempt on the part of European democracies to lead humanity toward genuine freedom. Instead this process unleashed a "psychic plague" in which forces long repressed by the superficial layer of good manners and the domination of an artificial Ego, which were carried by the same multitudes that searched for freedom, cleared a path toward [fascist] action. Fascism is seen as differing from other reactionary parties in that it is championed by the masses. As a consequence it betrays all the characteristics and contradictions present in the character structure of the modern mass individual. Consequently fascism is not, as is commonly believed, a purely reactionary movement - it represents an amalgam of rebellious emotions and reactionary social ideas. Thus, for Reich fascist mentality is the mentality of the "little man," who is enslaved and craves authority and is at the same time rebellious.
The belief that violence is a reasonable and often necessary route to achieving our aims goes unquestioned in most societies. Violence is thought to be the nature of things. It's what works. It seems inevitable -- the last and, often, the first resort in conflicts. This Myth of Redemptive Violence is the real myth of the modern world. It, and not Judaism or Christianity or Islam, is the dominant religion in our society today. Walter Wink, a professor of Biblical Interpretation at Auburn Theological Seminary in N.Y.C., in an article first published by Bible Society's Spring 1999 issue of The Bible in TransMission, further expalains that our very origin is violence. Killing is in our genes. Humanity is not the originator of evil, but merely finds evil already present and perpetuates it. Human beings are thus naturally incapable of peaceful coexistence. Order must continually be imposed upon us from on high: men over women, masters over slaves, priests over laity, aristocrats over peasants, rulers over people. Unquestioning obedience is the highest virtue, and order the highest religious value. In short, the Myth of Redemptive Violence is the ideology of conquest. Ours is neither a perfect nor perfectible world, but a theater of perpetual conflict in which the prize goes to the strong. Peace through war, security through strength: these are the core convictions that arise from this ancient historical religion. The Babylonian myth is as universally present today as at any time in its long and bloody history. It is the dominant myth in contemporary America.
[...] men are not gentle creatures, who want to be loved, who at most defend themselves if they are attacked; they are, on the contrary, creatures among whose instinctual endowments is to be reckoned a powerful share of aggressiveness. As a result, their neighbour is for them not only a potential helper or sexual object, but also someone who tempts them to satisfy their aggressiveness on him, to exploit his capacity for work without compensation, to use him sexually without his consent, to seize his possessions, to humiliate him, to cause him pain, to torture and to kill him."
Quote[...] men are not gentle creatures, who want to be loved, who at most defend themselves if they are attacked; they are, on the contrary, creatures among whose instinctual endowments is to be reckoned a powerful share of aggressiveness. As a result, their neighbour is for them not only a potential helper or sexual object, but also someone who tempts them to satisfy their aggressiveness on him, to exploit his capacity for work without compensation, to use him sexually without his consent, to seize his possessions, to humiliate him, to cause him pain, to torture and to kill him."According to Freud, human civilisation is based, and has to be based, on the repression of the basic "sexual" or "instinctual" energy he believed humans to have. What happened, in Freud's view, was that this repressed sexual energy was diverted into the work which had to be engaged in to produce the things humans needed to survive and build up the material side of civilisation.
I actually think these numbers are encouraging. Over half of law students and lawyers are NOT depressed or suicidal. Sounds fairly unalarming to me.Besides, what's the take-home message here? Should we labor to make the study and practice of law like baking a f*king cake so that every backwoods Tom, male private part, and Oprah can practice law? Would that serve clients well? It's hard and stressful for a reason. LAW IS IMPORTANT TO OUR SOCIETY! We have to get it right.
[...] Second, the contingent-worth and top-ten percent paradigms create tension by generating insecurity about future employment, competition between peers, a sense that one's worth is only as good as one's transcript and resume, and that, regardless of the rhetoric of professionalism, that personal character, values, ideals and intentions are irrelevant in the practice of law. Schools with a mandatory or strongly suggested grading curve aggravate this effect by creating the impression that the institution is pitting students against each other. [...]
Herbert Marcuse has in fact explained why people accept capitalism -- they have been psychologically manipulated into wanting it. In other words, their basic "instincts" have been remoulded so as to fit in with capitalist society. The issue now is how will such people come to want to get rid of capitalism.

And it's all over but the official pomp and circumstance.
Following up on reports from Friday evening, USF confirmed Saturday morning that Willie Taggart will be the Bulls' next head football coach. Taggart will be formally introduced at a 4 p.m. ET press conference today.
Taggart will be leaving his alma mater Western Kentucky to return to the state in which he played his high school football.
The 36-year-old has spent 11 of his 14 years as a coach at WKU, including the last three as head coach. Taking over a Hilltoppers program that didn't exist until 2007 and had won nine games in the three years prior to his arrival, Taggart won 14 the past two, with the Hilltoppers landing their first-ever bowl berth following the 2012 season.
Taggart's only non-WKU coaching experience came at Stanford, where he was in charge of running backs under Jim Harbaugh from 2007-10.
In accepting the Bulls' job, Taggart will be charged with revitalizing a program that had slipped from eight wins to five to three the past three seasons under Skip Holtz.

Dear Reader: ♥ August 15, 2012 is Julia Child's 100th Birthday ! ♥
More eye-catchers!
Another title that exerted a strong visual pull on me at the ALA Convention Floor last July was a fun-packed book called Bon Appetit! The Delicious Life of Julia Child, published by Schwartz & Wade (a division of Random House). It was written and illustrated by Jessie Hartland.
What was the je ne sais quoi for moi?
There's the combination of ebullient art, alongside wickedly funny text: "…She is a hearty partier and still a prankster. She is famous for painting a toilet seat in her dormitory red…" Simply irresistible.
Then I discover that author Jessie Hartland was the creator of another book that tugged at my heartstrings previously at ALA Mid-Winter 2011, How the Sphinx Got to the Museum (published by Blue Apple Books).
Besides having illustrated eight picture books, Jesse is a commercial artist whose work appears on ceramics…
and fabric…
and in advertisements.
Why did both the Julia and Sphinx books jump out at me? I think it's because both books underscore the act of process.
It's as if Jessie wholeheartedly takes us along for the ride, while she researches her subjects. We get blow-by-blow commentary, at a fast clip.
Playfully rendered, and partnered by lively hand-written text, each page feels like notes shared by your BFF, who happens to render doodles into color. Mais oui!
[A tangental note for my students: Much of the fun in creating picture books is derived from uncovering all the back story of your subjects. We gather all the juicy parts; the nasty bits; the settings; the unexpected gems. It's the resource of inspiration. —JC]
For Julia's story, Jessie combined her own love of cooking with travels to Paris. I had to find out more.
Joy Chu: Tell us about the genesis of the Julia Child book. Whose idea was it?
Jessie Hartland: It was my idea. I love to read biographies and I wanted to do a series of "graphic biographies" for children, my own way.
I pitched Julia Child as the first in the set.
This was about 5-6 years ago, before Nora Ephron's film, Julie & Julia. The response I got was "…no one cares about Julia Child anymore."
[However] the film revived interest in Julia, and I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to do the book.
JC: Did you do many preliminary character sketches of Julia herself?
JH: I looked at lots and lots of photographs of Julia and watched all the DVDs I could find, then started sketching — from my head. I did a lot of doodling in cafes, and other odd places.
JC: Was there much back-and-forth on the progressive dummy? How many versions — including the ones you did for yourself?
JH: Yes—of course. Lots of back-and-forth. Many scenes needed to be clarified for the wee ones.
Some images I had as full-page got shrunk to a small panel.
Some tiny panels got blown up to full-pagers.
My two editors, Anne (Schwartz) and Lee (Wade), were wonderful to work with, the whole way. They would prod me with, "tell us more about…"
JC: Favorite medium? And do you work same size, or up-size?
JH: I tend to work up-size, just a bit. I paint in gouache, which is opaque watercolor.
JC: Did you provide your own scans? Back and forth on color corrections?
JH: They [the publisher] did the scanning. I don't remember much in the way of color correction. However, there was lots to fix and clarify, what with all the hand-written text, made more complicated by the bits of French sprinkled in.
JC: Are you a foodie yourself?JH: Yes, I love to cook. I grew up watching "The French Chef" on TV. My mother did not like to cook and it was fun to watch someone cooking who enjoyed it. At home we ate frozen vegetables, canned fruit and dreadful things made with soup mixes and such. As a teenager I got an after school job in my town's only fancy-foods shop where I had my first croissants, baklava and French cheese.
While in art school I worked weekends and summers as a restaurant cook. Nowadays our family eats a lot of seafood caught by my 20 year old son, Sam: tuna, sea bass, bluefish, porgies, mahi-mahi and cherrystone clams. I grow tomatoes, cucumbers and raspberries and have a thriving herb garden.
JC: How did you get started, in brief — from school to the field?
JH: I went to the Boston Museum School, a very fine arts-oriented school, not commercial. It is affiliated with Tufts, where I took excellent academic classes.
After graduating, I worked briefly at a high-tech start-up, then moved to NYC and worked freelance doing production work for independent animators.
During lunch, I took my portfolio around and began getting illustration jobs and was able to quit the animation work.
As an illustrator, I found the assignments I most enjoyed were those asking for some writing and coming up with ideas.
When I was designing and installing windows—at night—for the Barneys department stores, I got the idea for my children's book, "Night Shift."
I had a fabulous gig for a couple of years, travel-writing and drawing a regular column for Travel and Leisure/ Family.
You could say moving on to writing and illustrating children's books was a natural transition, but I think it's really what I wanted to do all along.
JC: Biggest influences?
JH: Saul Steinberg, Robert Crumb, Roger Duvoisin, and old Graphis Annuals from the 50s. I grew up reading and loving Babar, Madeline and especially the collaborative books of Margaret Bloy Graham and Gene Zion (Harry the Dirty Dog). My mother made fabulous felt puppets and adapted the stories of Maurice Sendak and poems of Ogden Nash for puppet plays, and I put on the shows for my school.
JC: What are you working on now?
JH: Another biography, this one of Steve Jobs. It will be targeted to older kids, though—and in black and white. A smaller format, and with many more pages. More focus on the writing and drawings—and I'm up for the challenge! He's another fascinating character: rebellious, intuitive, ingenious…
I also have 4-5 other ideas in various stages of development. . . And I just found out for sure that there will be a third in the "Museum" series of books — How the Meteorite Got to the Museum — about the Peekskill meteorite.
JC: How delicious! Do keep us posted. And until then, bon appetít, Jessie!
[Inspiration can sprout from anywhere: "… thanks to my mom, Dottie Hill Hartland, for fabricating for Xmas 1965 the brilliant French café dollhouse (complete with tiny food and menus in French!), which got me started on France, cooking, and Julia Child." — Jessie Hartland, from her Acknowledgments note on the copyright page]


text:
His shoulders slump and his head bows as if his very life force has been suddenly drawn out of him. His face reflects the pain and confusion that his mind and heart are toiling with, struggling to grasp a wisp of reality and understand that the impossible has indeed happened. "I just can't believe it; I can't fathom it," he says. "Are you telling me the truth? She's not available anymore?" This happens every time my dad asks about my mom, the love of his life, his partner and companion, and in recent years his anchor who steered his mind to safety and security in the here and now as it's slowly being undermined by Alzheimer's disease. She was his North Star. It's been almost six months since she died.
For the first couple of weeks, we went through this terrible shock and grief with Daddy multiple times every day when he asked, "Where's Patricia? Where's my wife?" Then, miraculously, he began to recall that she was gone as soon as we told him and would despondently reply, "Oh yes, now I remember." He was still dejected and grieving, but the horror that flattened him when the news was new every single time was lessening. One day in November, we set out for a walk with his dog, Jackson. Out of the blue, he suddenly stopped at the end of the driveway, his body slumping as if under an unbearable weight. "I miss my wife, " he said with tears in his eyes.
Oh, Daddy. I miss her so much, too.

I hoped he would continue to have that degree of memory about our great loss so that, on some level, he could process and move through his grief. For some months he did, although depression seemed to be setting in, and his former zest for life was heartbreakingly gone. But in January he became very ill with a virus and sinus infection, lost his appetite and – as often happens with dementia – his cognitive abilities drastically worsened. Once again, the loss was fresh almost every time he asked about Mom.
Slowly, Dad's health has improved – but his memory of losing his wife remains a wild card. We never know if he's going to remember or not. I never lie to him; it just doesn't feel right to me. At times, I divert or distract. When he asks, "Where's Patricia?" I might say, "I'm here, Daddy – it's Amy, your daughter!" And then I give him a big hug and a kiss, which sometimes will draw his mind away and avoid the conversation that rips our hearts apart each time. Sometimes he cries, says he's got no family left and surmises that he'll soon "go" too. Nothing hurts my heart more than that. I'm grateful he responds to love, hugs and kisses, and that much of the time he does seem to know me. Three times recently he's actually called me by my name. I want him to understand that he's never alone. I tell him Mom is in heaven, but she's also with us in spirit every minute. That comforts him. "She was a really good one" (his code for his favorite people in life), he said the other day. "She was a real knockout."
>> Visit AARP Caregiving Resource Center
There are a million little ways throughout each day that I see Dad's mind drifting at sea without his North Star. It's becoming increasingly difficult to get him awake and out of bed – no longer can we say Mom is waiting. When he wasn't hungry, Mom could urge him on; it was a big part of their daily ritual as a couple to eat together. At times now, every bite is a coaxing exercise. He used to be perfectly happy going out to stores and restaurants – as long as Mom was with him. Now he gets anxious about why we are there and what he's supposed to be doing. I do my best to come up with new rituals and distractions. But none of us can fill Mom's shoes.
The night that Mom died, Dad went home from the hospital with one of my sisters before I did. When I got home, I broke down, sobbing. He came to me and gave me a hug, instantly going into Daddy mode and talking as he did when I was a child with a problem. "Don't you worry now. We'll get through this together," he said, comforting me as only he could in that moment. He's right. As difficult as it is, I'm glad to be here for him. And despite Alzheimer's, he's here for me, too.

Fiberglass offers numerous advantages that "concrete" and wood simply cannot.
The surface of a San Juan Pool is "satin smooth," not rough and abrasive. The
fiberglass composite is an inert material, which will not affect water chemistry
and prohibits algae penetration, therefore it simplifies water maintenance procedures
and eliminates pool refinishing. On a monthly basis the cost of chemicals,
electricity and maintenance are lower.
San Juan Pools cost an average of 10 to 12% more than old fashion cement pools.
Between the two, cement pools are the cheapest pools you can buy, the San Juan
Fiberglass pool is the most expensive. However, you will make up the difference
in price by saving up to 70% on chemicals. You save up to 30% on electricity costs
because your pump and filter do not need to run as long to flush the porous surface
of the cement pool. The San Juan Fiberglass Pool will never require remarciting,
average cost $2,500.00. When you add up the differences, you will save thousands
of dollars by installing a San Juan Fiberglass Pool in your garden, and your home
will magnify your family togetherness.
These are just a few reasons to buy a San Juan fiberglass pool. If you would
like more details, please feel free to contact us.

Not explaining Yasu's logistics very well is also a problem with the plotting (outside of Our Confession maybe), but it isn't a plot hole.

In the end what you fail to realize is that it's the very fact of assuming what you need to argue that makes a circular reasoning a logical fallacy. When you extrapolate a circular reasoning from the context of a discussion the very premise that makes it an invalid logic doesn't exist anymore.
For example "Humans are mortal therefore humans are mortal". this is both formally valid and sound (defined as an argument whose premise is true), then how would it be a logical fallacy according to you definition? But a circular logic is defined as a logical fallacy, so you're missing something here.
But the reasoning doesn't really work in the first place, because people normally do not adopt other people just because they know them, they'd normally bring them to a hospital.
the two cases
person adopting random amnesiac
person adopting known amnesiac
aren't that much different in their scare likelyness to happen.
I just wanted to make sure I understood what you mean before answering. I think you've been more than clear (in only asked one example).
So then I ask you. The infamous scene of the parlor of EP5, couldn't be defined as a plot hole, if I refuse to accept as intended by the author and valid the various explanations proposed by fans?

Well, it could be a plot hole. People have thought of it as such. Other people say there is an explanation.
I'd say it's probably a plot hole, but it could also be an example of a property or aspect of the narrative that just wasn't explained properly and thus appears to be a plot hole to people who are incredulous about the explanation as written, when the explanation may indeed cover it.

I can make another example, but here some people might not agree with me. I consider a plot hole even a case in which a certain character should logically do something but conveniently doesn't because the plot requires for him to fail.
Therefore the fact that Erika isn't even thinking about the possibility of shkanon, given that she was always shown to be capable of out of the box thinking (bordering with ridiculous) and that it didn't really required such an ingenius mind, can also be seen as a plot hole.

I think it's a plot hole given her characterization the entire episode of asking for incredibly specific definitions and then not doing that at any point where it would be necessary, and also stopping with her questioning when she has no apparent reason to need to do so.
However, that might be less a plot hole and more poor characterization, where she's alternately portrayed as ruthlessly cunning and a bumbling incompetent. Vaguely like Battler himself, but not executed correctly.
The entirety of "Battler Solves the Logic Error" is basically predicated on the notion that Erika could have asked a bunch of things but didn't, and the consequences of leaving those questions both unasked and unanswered. It's a joke, but it's partially expressing my frustrations with the entirety of Dawn. It could have been a much better episode, but it got lost in its own gimmick.
However, that might not necessarily be a plot hole so much as just shoddy presentation. Erika not asking isn't the problem, it's Erika not seemingly wanting to ask. There would be no problem, really, if Erika tried to ask but was forbidden from doing so, or asked and Battler was evasive.

Skipping the ones done by Jesus a person can be declared 'dead' and then 'revived' by quick medical aid. It's just that in this case death generally last few minutes (and as of late the definition of dead had been updated in many countries to make sure that it means 'irreversible death' while previously you were dead when your heart stopped and you weren't breathing anymore... no idea if the definition had been updated in Japan as well).
Due to this Ryukishi might have thought it was perfectly fine to have a type of death from which you can be resurrected.
Now... I still don't like it though I guess part of the problem is that Umineko is written as such we think we can trust Beato on a certain level... that's actually more than we should give her credit for.
In more than one Christie's mystery the culprit is also the narrator.
The narration is reliable exept for the parts in which the narrator/culprit avoided facts like 'after this I killed the victim' or 'I pretended to speak at the phone with a certain guy but I was actually talking with someone else' or 'once alone I removed all the evidence of my trick to kill the victim' and so on.
In short it skipped some parts and was misleading.
I guess Ryukishi pushed it to an extreme and thought it was a fair trick because, despite all the ramblings about trusting Beato... well, Beato is the culprit for her own admission so we should have known better than to trust her blindly even when she was using red.
I still don't like it, I don't know if I'll ever like it but I'll give Ryukishi the benefit of doubt on the topic he thought it was a legittimate trick to use a misleading definition of 'death'. I guess I just won't agree with him.

The red truth should have been a tool you could trust in unconditionally (and as such it was presented) and should have merely worked as a crutch for your reasoning, while the mystery and the mystery alone should have been the one you would be required to focus on and which you would need to find the trick in.
With misleading red truths, it isn't the actual mystery that tricks you, but the red truths themselves. It's only natural that disappointment comes from people that expected a difficult to solve riddle and realized it was only difficult because of a misleading input given.

After all, as someone once said, would you say that if an identical twin pretending to be Kanon and indistinguishable from him tricked Jessica then they are the same person? We probably won't ever agree because you and I approach Kanon from different perspective.
As for the playing with reds, I sort of liked it. Maybe it's because I often use that method of stating facts to twist the truth as a joke on my friends, but I thought it was fun. In fact I bet you didn't even mind it when it was being tricky but not about personality death yourself.

Impressive number of individual discussions happening at once, here.
I make the assumption that she learns his identity very quickly, and decides not to subject her new, only friend to the public turmoils Eva is going through. Also, I'm sure Tohya is just so sexy when he's desperately reassembling his shattered psyche.
About Yasu possibly protecting Battler from Eva ... well, not to repeat myself, but Eva has no basis on which to make a claim about what happened on Rokkenjima. If she thinks Battler is guilty, she can't prove it, and really, if she sees that he's clearly amnesiac, shje'd PROBABLY bite her lip and get over it. Also, I'd mention that Yasu never legally gained control over ANY of Kinzo's money, which was always controlled by Krauss. Well, we're told there was a will, but it was never put to use, so ... /shrug.
I'd also mention, as a side to Random!Ikuko, that Tohya mentions in the ??? "Yeah , so it turns out she wasn't lying about the stuff with her family", or something like that, so it sounded like he had checked it out himself a bit.

Even in instances of impersonation, the rules become fuzzy with "personalities." Particularly when the argument is the impersonator is the person with that personality in the first place. It's like asking me, philosophically, to impersonate myself. I can try to exaggerate and affect my own mannerisms, contemplate how I would react to scenarios and pretend like that deliberation is necessary, and so forth, but would you ever realistically accuse me of not appropriately being myself?
If I can't impersonate myself, how exactly does this Shkanbeato construct manage to do it, when said construct is those characters, apparently fully consciously? This goes back to a long-ago discussion about the actual rules of operation of the character, none of which really make any sense. This example is just one of the ones that demonstrates that.
If Kanon did not behave as Kanon, Jessica would not have recognized him as such. Ergo, she actually recognized Kanon. Which means Kanon was there. Ryukishi (and Maria) already said appearance isn't important, so it doesn't matter if the person Jessica was talking to wasn't dressed as Kanon. She couldn't perceive Kanon's physical appearance, but responded to his voice and mannerisms. So... Kanon was there, which means Kanon was alive where once he was dead.
We also have no actual evidence Shannon and Kanon acted "independently," at least in the sense of being distinct personalities. We can still always make the argument "in matter of fact, it was 'Beatrice' posing as two servants the whole time, and Battler was misled into believing in the existence of 'Shannon' and 'Kanon.'" It is true that we see them as two separate disguises and thus have some evidence for it, but going strictly off what Battler sees and knows it's possible he's merely being deceived by an actor.
Of course, if Shannon and Kanon exist only as they're perceived to begin with, you can argue that merely acknowledging who he's seeing makes it such that Shannon/Kanon is present. Indeed one could argue they exist only when Battler is observing them.

Spoiler for Endless logic crap:
By the way, I don't think such a mistake is hard to make.
I don't think you can win any argument claiming- given the same encounter with Battler- that Yasu would not be more likely to adopt Battler than a stranger would.

If you pull a circular logic in the middle of a discussion (and we were discussing) then you're either pulling something completely irrelevant or you're blatantly falling into a logical fallacy.
What I told you back then was that I didn't understand the relevance of your point unless you were assuming your very premise which, as I pointed out, would have been a circular logic.
If you had simply explained your point rather than going on a tangent on how circular logic isn't wrong per se, disregarding the fact that I was assuming the context of a discussion, since it was what we were doing, we wouldn't be arguing about all this pholosophical "crap" (as you like to define it).
I was merely providing evidences that logical fallacies are defined as invalid. Whenever you try to define a group there is almost always the inherent problem that you can't check all the single individuals of that group.
If you thought that you can only define a group if you find proof for that for every single individual of that group, then you wouldn't be able to state that "all crows are black" and so on.
Of course if I show you 100 black crows that still doesn't fully demonstrate the theory, but it's also wrong to state they don't mean a thing, in fact the theory can be considered valid as long as you don't find a crow that isn't black.
I've shown you several black crows, I'm not saying that this proves definitely that I'm right, but it's your turn to prove that there is a crow that isn't black.
In other words show me where it is stated that a logical fallacy can be considered valid in a general sense and not in its specific parts.
The example of the circular logic you've used doesn't work because in the case in which it can be considered valid, it isn't a logical fallacy anymore.
Logic . (of an argument) so constructed that if the premises are jointly asserted, the conclusion cannot be denied without contradiction.
If the premises are not jointly asserted, your logic is not valid.
Clearly outside of academic circles "valid" and "sound" are synonyms.
I will also disregard that there are other people outside Yasu that aren't stranger to Battler.
Let's make this case even more clear-cut, and let's assume that if Beatrice encountered Battler she would definitely adopt him, that is a 100% probability.
If a stranger encountered Battler there's a very low probability that he would adopt him. Let's assume it's 1%, it's probably lower but for the sake of this logic experiment it doesn't matter (Yasu's probability isn't 100% either anyway).
Given these premises you can claim that the probability that Beatrice would adopt Battler is definitely higher than the probability that a stranger would do the same. Absolutely.
But you're forgetting that the fact that "Battler was adopted" is already known. While "who adopted Battler" is what we don't know.
Imagine that there are 10.000 cards that have a "stranger" on their front and a card that have "Yasu" on its front.
You know that the Yasu card has definitely Battler on its back, and you know that only 100 out of the 10.000 stranger cards have Battler on their back.
Now the card that you have in your hand was extracted randomly from the 10001 cards and it has Battler on its back, this is your known fact. You don't know what's behind it, and you need to use a statistical reasoning to infere what is more likely to be behind: Yasu or a Stranger?
You should be able to see that the fact that the Yasu card has a 100% of probability to have Battler on its back doesn't mean much in this case.
The probability that you have a stranger card in your hand is higher: 100 cases against 1.

The problem is that "Ikuko = Yasu" and "Ikuko = Random Eccentric Interested in the Case" both have sufficient motive to be looking for Battler or someone like him, and both have incentive to hide him away once they find him. But the field could be narrowed significantly.

While it can be debated that Kinzo owned the gold illegally so technically the siblings can't claim rights on it ifsomeone where to discover Ikuko isn't who she said to be thngs could turn unpleasant.
We don't really know if Eva can't prove something. She's not talking so we don't know which info she has nor we know what exactly remained of the place in which the crime took place.
Things that might look as nothing important, if placed in the right context, can become evidence.
And anyway if Eva were to be sure Battler was involved (regardless of this being a misunderstanding or not) she would likely accuse it and hope someone would manage to prove she's not lying. She lost her husband and son and, for all she knows, Battler might be faking his memory loss.
But the point isn't really what Eva can and can't do but what Yasu thinks Eva will do and how she fears it can evolve.

Well the problem is that "Yasu is looking for battler" is still an unknown variable, that is a variable that needs to be demonstrated.
In the end the only premise we all agree about is that "An amnesiac was adopted". So while this is extremely improbable, since it is the known fact, we can ignore this implausibility when trying to evaluate the related variables.
I guess that if you theorize that Yasu escaped with Battler, then it wouldn't be a random encounter anymore. My example wouldn't work anymore.
It however still works in any other case where you theorize a random encounter, whether it is Yasu randomly finding Battler (I still consider it random even if she is actively searching him, unless she knew where to find him. Else it would be improbable for her to find him before someone else), Yasu finding a random amnesiac, or a stranger finding a random amnesiac.
Again specifically looking for a random ameniasac isn't acceptable unless you explain how exactly one can improve his chances to find such a person and to take her home.

But aside from all of that, in both Ikuko=Yasu and Ikuko=RandomStranger there is the possibility, that Tohya's memories about "Tohya's first encouncer with Ikuko" may have been manipulated by Ikuko. For example it is possible that Tohya was actually NEVER hit by a car, but by telling lies for a long time, she may have made him believe it happened like in the bits of EP8.
The first time i saw these scenes i doubted them. In the middle of EP8 there was suddenly some story about Battler/Tohya (i instantly knew it was him, because i got spoiled about that info), then suddenly it goes back to Ange. Also Ikuko's behavior seemed inconsistent, as sometimes she had the personality from the tea party and sometimes she was a very shy person, which remembered me a bit of chick Beatrice.

If you happened to be interested in seeing what turned up (whether that be just objects of interest or survivors), you might be inclined to visit the area more frequently. If you hear about some homeless guy in the area, well... it makes a lot more sense than pure random coincidence no matter who Tohya and Ikuko are.
But again, that applies as much to Ikuko being just who she is as it would to Ikuko being Yasu. They'd both have incentive to go check out the area's beaches or whatever and see if anything intriguing turned up.

Now back to topic.
'Personality death' 'Red absolute text' 'Anti-mistery vs Anti-fantasy'
In-gameboard, those are some rules that are followed to solve the crimes. You heard about CLUE? Yeah, they're playing that in the witches' hall. Its a GAMEboard! Taking possible scenarios from the games, we can grasp hints of what really happened, the motivations, the possibilities... our job as readers is fish those hints out and piece together a scenary that fits. A theory. A blue stake.
What is happening outside the catbox gives us the aftermath, some hints of what might have actually happened in Rokkenjima Prime and some drama with Ange. and nobody said that all the Gameboard rules applied to 'Rokkenjima Prime'. There are things, like the red text and the serial murders, that were put there to spice the forgeries.
You know why Battler's death has nothing to do with those rules? Because that's what happened in the world outside the catbox. No red texts, no magic, no 'gameboard rules' and certainly no 'character death'. That, as far as Umineko as a whole was concerned, happened outside Rokkenjima's mistery, 'In real Life' so to speak. He got brain damage. He stopped believing himself Battler. Arguably, he got better after some decades. Calling it 'personality death' like in-gameboard is just pulling an Irony as a Name.
So yeah. To solve the GAMES is possible through reasoning and following RULES like 'personality death' or the 'absolute red'.
Solving Umineko no Naku Koro Ni is not just explaining those forgeries. As objetive you have to try and figure the big picture that went boom on that 4-5 oct, and it's gonna be out of your reach if you try to connect and make everything about forgeries fit, because, as much as those games give us hints, their original purpose is to obscure the truth.
EP8 tried to make us remember that the catbox was cut from the real world in Umineko. Catbox, better known as Rokkenjima, is a fantasy setting for a game. Out of the game, things are not forced to follow the catbox rules. Isn't Ryuukishi's purpose to show us a layered work? You can't honestly say you believed that all the rules apply to all the layers... Meta world, game board, featherine's reality, Ange's 1998, the real 1998... they're not the same. If you forget about thinking in levels, you forget what the world of Umineko is about. There was some metaphor involving cheese and brains given by Erika that'd fit your situation if that's the case.
So maybe Ryuukishi's answers don't have any logic and sound as bull. Maybe some resources he used are seem as unfair. Remember that Ryuukishi is the witch that's trying to hide the truth? Remember that even the in-story detectives follow his lead to hide/ignore what could give away Beatrice's heart? Yeah, something like that. With detectives and witch hunters crying about the unfairness of a game made by a Witch, I fear for the future of the Anti-fantasy fanbase. We're just going down so hard I can almost hear how Featherine alias 'AuthorAvatar' is laughing at us...

Shouldn't we be applying greater realistic scrutiny to something not inside the catbox?
Basically you're completely incoherent.

Natural Disaster Resilience
What's at Stake with Regards to Natural Disaster Resilience for "Rio +20"
Natural disaster risks and costs have increased substantially in recent years, particularly due to climate change. Originating from humanitarian issues, risk prevention falls within a sustainable development rationale, attempting to reduce the economic, social, and environmental consequences of development that is sometimes reckless and irresponsible. It mobilizes the international community and this commitment should be reflected in Rio+20.
France's Commitment with Regards to Natural Disaster Resilience for "Rio +20"
France, which has developed a structured national risk prevention policy, is regularly solicited internationally regarding risk expertise, training local actors in civil defense, and implementing early warning, meteorological, and anti-locust systems. France's humanitarian strategy makes strengthening populations' resilience one of the four main headings guiding our humanitarian action.
France is committed to promoting risk prevention initiatives for Rio +20. With the European Union, a major donor, and its European partners, France will support a coherent and legible risk prevention policy addressing the issues of adapting to climate change risks and the European strategy for sustainable development. France believes that strengthening environmental governance falls under the same resilience rationale as sustainable development.

But never mind that: The sword hanging over PeopleSofts head is an unwanted takeover attempt by Oracle, which extended its $7.7 billion offer to PeopleSoft shareholders through the end of August. The U.S. Department of Justice is trying to block the deal in federal court; a decision in the case is expected in September. PeopleSoft customers are particularly spooked at the prospect that Oracle would cease development of the PeopleSoft applications, even though Oracle claims it would continue supporting them for at least 10 years.
Gwinnett County Public Schools is in the third year of a $40 million rollout of PeopleSoft financial, human-resources and supplier-relationship management software. "Weve made an investment, a huge investment, in the software and in implementing it," says Jeff Weiler, chief financial officer of the Georgia school district. He says his team already evaluated Oracles products and found them inferior. "We had a chance to go with Oracle, and wed rather not end up with them by default," he says.
Larry Bastianelli, fiscal systems manager at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, says PeopleSoft provides better tools and support for customizing its software than offerings from competitors: "With PeopleSoft, its not like, Take it or leave it," he says. For example, the requisition-approval workflow in eProcurement provides only one level of approval. Bastianelli says the hospitals approval requirements are based on the dollar amount of the item being purchased and the buyers job role, and his team easily customized the software to fit that process.
Further reading
However, some say PeopleSoft needs to stitch its software modules together more tightly. Northwestern Memorial Hospital runs PeopleSoft 8.0 financial, human-resources and supply chain applications. When it deployed eProcurement in late 2002, the hospital had to write its own interfaces to translate data with the other PeopleSoft applications, says Lara Latham, director of materials management. "Its not plug-and-play," she says. "PeopleSoft has some work to do."
