I'm on my way back from the UK after the PHP UK Conference. I delivered the keynote for the conference's second day, and spent time on a panel about PHP at Scale. Update: Here's the video of the session for your viewing pleasure.
The panel comprised of Rasmus Lerdorf (inventor of PHP), and Nikolay Bachiyski from WordPress. It was chaired by Ian Barber.
I came unprepared to add anything substantive – I didn't have any interesting challenges I'd encountered in scaling PHP, nor could I see any reason why any robust web scripting language wouldn't scale. We'd decided to continue to use Java at eBay, primarily because we didn't want to sink the cost to change without a clear benefit. I'm a PHP fan, but Java is another fine choice.
The good news was that Rasmus and Nikolay couldn't see any reasons why PHP was particularly challenging. What we saw were general challenges in scaling applications to large traffic volumes – and that's pretty much where the panel discussion went.
Here's a few key points from the discussion.
Rasmus made the point that the easiest way to scale a bottleneck is to remove it. Here's an eBay example – we have very flat, denormalized database tables, we precompute joins and store the results. Why? We had challenges scaling database joins at our scale – we typically execute 75 billion data requests in the process of serving over 2 billion pages each day. So, we removed many of the joins, precomputing them once, and stored the results in the database; of course, the tradeoff is additional space, often more queries, and update challenges, but the serving bottleneck is fundamentally gone.
There was general agreement that PHP scripts should never be the bottleneck that you're having trouble scaling. Producing web pages with a PHP script should take a few milliseconds – the I/O overhead should be near zero, the memory use low, and they shouldn't read large amounts of data to produce pages that contain less data. The heavy lifting should be behind the scenes – use the right tools for managing and crunching data, storing and restoring sessions, and complex processing. Build services in other languages, make them fast, and get those to scale. That's where the complexity should be – the PHP script should be a very thin, light layer.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Rasmus thought Facebook's HipHop was an odd directional choice. HipHop converts PHP into C++, so you can compile the code, and typically leads to a 50% memory reduction and other benefits. I'd been thinking the same – if you're having trouble scaling PHP, you're probably trying to do too much in the web tier, and should be doing more in scalable services behind the scenes. So, perhaps facebook are doing too much in their web app – that wouldn't be a surprise, that happens to everyone as systems grow at a high development velocity. It's the solution that's quirky – why not refactor what's in the the web app, and what's in the scalable backend service. Why solve it by making it attractive to build complexity into the web app? Maybe it was just to save operations costs.
We also talked about the general problems of scaling from a startup to a large, major web property. We touched on building experimental frameworks, so that you can configure A/B tests that help you make decisions about what to ship to customers. There were mentions of tooling for supporting multiple markets and languages, and large character set languages. Scaling a session store (which you use to restore state about a user when they return) is very challenging at scale – and Rasmus and I had both seen the pain of that at extreme scale. Interestingly, Nikolay was a fan of storing state in browser cookies – that may work for wordpress, but it wouldn't work at eBay's scale because of the sheer amount of data and the substantial site speed implications. (If you're interested, here's my views on site speed.)
We also spent some of the discussion on scaling teams – an important part of working at scale. I advocated that hiring smart, driven engineers is really the key – it's not about hiring people with particular skills, you'll find that smart people can figure out most anything. We talked about keeping teams independent, so that each team feels like it's a small startup. We also talked about needing a couple of key folks who have that special blend of operations and engineering skills to debug what's going on the live site at scale – it's a very special skill, perhaps it's an emerging role that we'll all formally understand with the emergence of the "DevOps" mentality. In any case, we'd all worked with one or more of these people – the ones that have the inquisitiveness, breadth, skills, and persistence to nail down very subtle bugs at amazing scale (and I argued that you can help these folks significantly be encouraging your developers to log pretty much every event that happens in their code). Rasmus made a few blunt comments about young startups needing to hire adults who've been through it before…
I'm expecting there'll be a video of the session up on the web sometime. I'll update this post when that happens.
What's your experience at scale? Do you have other key themes? Is there anything inherently challenging about scaling PHP (that doesn't apply to, say, Java or python)?

While we really didn't want to subjugate the Geeps to such a long ride with two of them being pregnant they seemed to do really well on the trip. We wanted to hit the road early Saturday morning and get to Jeff's hometown by early afternoon, but that didn't happen and we didn't leave until 4:30pm. We didn't reach our destination until 1:30am, so the Geeps had to spend the night in the hutches.
We got up the next day, went to Mother's Day breakfast with Jeff's family and then around noon time headed over to his aunts and uncles with our herd of animals. One of Jeff's brother had beat us there and within minutes of pulling in we were all putting up fencing for the animals.

Any lingering doubts over Usman Khawaja as Australia's Test No.3 for the Ashes have been dismissed after the Queensland captain's lone hand in the top of the table Sheffield Shield clash with NSW in Brisbane on Monday.
Khawaja's unbeaten 78 was the shining light for a Queensland side bowled out for 183 by a NSW attack without rested Test stars Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins.
Under pressure Test opener Matt Renshaw was among the Bulls to struggle on the demanding Allan Border Field deck, caught behind for 16.
Stumps were called with NSW 3-83 in reply after Blues captain Steve Smith was caught at bat-pad for 44 off Jack Wildermuth (2-13) with five balls left for the day.
Khawaja looks primed for the first Test starting at the Gabba on November 23 after moving his Shield tally to 295 runs at 98.33.
But Khawaja's journey in and out of the Test side since his baggy green debut six years ago has taught the elegant left-hander to keep his bold statements on the field.
"I am feeling good, things are going well but I know how quickly it can change," Khawaja said.
"You can't think too far ahead but my mindset doesn't change, I want to keep scoring runs."
Jadeja's controversial run-out decision
Kohli angry at run-out decision
Aussies rout NZ in first Test
Only five Queenslanders reached double figures against a new look Blues attack of Trent Copeland (3-33), Doug Bollinger (3-38) and Sean Abbott (1-42).
NSW's Test offspinner Nathan Lyon warmed up for the Ashes opener with 3-59.
Renshaw was given caught behind off Copeland in just the 12th over.
He was clearly unhappy with the decision, standing his ground before trudging off.
He has 69 Shield runs at 13.80 this summer.
Khawaja felt for Renshaw after the opener became one of Test 'keeping aspirant Peter Nevill's four dismissals.
"I thought he missed it but that's cricket," he said.
Khawaja looked untroubled after arriving at the crease in the fifth over with the Bulls 1-11 when Joe Burns fell for two.
His 192-ball innings lasted more than four hours and featured eight fours and a six.

From Hollywood, California – the stooopidest band in the world … Love/Hate!
Ah well since I was looking at old stuff I got free with Kerrang! in '89/90 I thought I'd look at this one too and make Mike even more jealous. Around Christmas 1990 Kerrang! gave away a live 7″ single (a proper one, not a flexi disc) from my fave new sleazy hard rockers Love/Hate. The Live E.P is a good object and had its own artwork devised by Skid and came with details of the UK tour* and a hyperbolic write-up by Neil Jeffries,
Outta Hell, California – somewhere not a million miles from Hollywood – came the venomous eight-legged scuttling beastie known as Love/Hate.
Recorded in The Empire Club, Cleveland, Ohio about a month before it was released Live E.P catches the band in all their ragged glory as the band belt through four tracks from Black Out In The Red Room, the title track, 'Mary Jane', 'Fuel To Run' and 'She's An Angel'.
Opener 'Black Out In The Red Room' is the most different from the studio version as it includes all the bits live recordings usually miss out, the Hendrix intro tape ('Are You Experienced'), a bit of a false start, the intro that began this post and three of minutes of ferocious jamming from the whole band before the track starts – whammo!!
The other three tracks are far more like their studio counterparts, okay so a bit faster and more out-of-tune but structurally similar; I'm not a massive one for live EPs, LPs or CDs**. However, when the material is of this quality it's still well worth hearing. I know I've said it before, being the tedious old bastard I am, but Love/Hate were a real quality rock band, much darker, sleazier and harder than most of their contemporaries, except maybe Sea Hags. They wrote deceptively simple sounding rockers, that when you listened to them carefully were a lot more complex and arty than they'd have liked you to have noticed. I think they were a great band who never got their just desserts, mind you their, umm, partying caught up with them good style in the recording of their second LP, the very honestly titled, Wasted In America.
So this little single is a good little time capsule, a souvenir of one sweaty, steamy night of rock from a band that really should have scored higher than they did, if you're the sort of lame-o oddball anti-social dumbass misfit who doesn't own a copy of Black Out In the Red Room, then please put that right immediately and you can be my friend again. Easy.
590 Down (in the gutter).
*Nowhere anywhere near 17 year-old me, sadly.
**Sorry Bruce.

In my last seven posts, I played my model of Moneyball with firm information from the tip of 2015, looking at how firms invest their shareholders' cash, how much they borrow and the determinants of how a lot money they return to stockholders. Since google finance allows us to enter our particular person details of stock with prices we have purchased, why can't the identical performance be prolonged to the android app so i can observe my portfolio in a more personalised method! People from all around the world contribute to HubPages by sharing words and footage Get to know us a bit by reading what on a regular basis folks have to say about Personal Finance , and Banks & Banking The breadth of content on HubPages is vast, however every article is restricted in its personal special way!
I educate classes in company finance and valuation, primarily to MBAs, however usually to anybody who will hear. The first three chapters are the finance stuff (John Law, South Sea Bubble, Tulipmania) in any case. Nonprofit Finance Fund® (NFF®) is a nonprofit 501(c)(three) Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). Companies could have interaction briefly-time period habits to achieve a particular credit rating.
Examples include small shares, worth shares (low market value relative to book value; excessive q"), momentum stocks (those who have risen within the earlier 12 months), shares of companies that repurchase shares, stocks with excessive accruals, and stocks with low betas. Yahoo could be on the verge of a turnaround if a key management change takes place, CNBC's Jim Cramer says. Let's take a look at the charts and examine the troubled inventory's downtrend, and the massive uptrend that preceded it. I'll additionally supply some ideas on the best way to keep away from main stock declines (or a minimum of restrict your losses in such cases).
Whilst the slowing economy is cyclical and not structural in nature, the latter issue could shape the direction of how the company will transfer in the direction of the new luxuries definition of age. They also make markets in bonds, securities, and industrial paper issued by companies within the sector. Any e book writer of finance books probably additionally has a robust dislike for Taleb.

Adaptor: connects the liner to the vitreous pipe, above the chimney closure plate.
Made of HIGH-QUALITY STAINLESS STEEL (beware cheap and thin versions).
The top of the adaptor connects to your flue liner (bolts tighten to secure). The bottom of the adaptor connects to your vitreous flue pipe (pipe that leaves your stove) using two metal to metal self tapping screws. You will actually need to drill a small pilot hole for the self tappers (due to the stainless being extremely tough). Self tappers and drill bit available in the USEFUL ITEMS pack.
Adaptors sold on this site are sold by the Duraflue people: No weak spots and high grade stainless steel. I have purchased cheap cowls in the past and they can fail within a year so don't just buy on price - it's not worth it!
Many thanks Stove Fitters Warehouse, no struggle, no hassle, parts that fit together quick and easy. Job's a good'n !
A quality engineered item and the bolt fitting allowed me to secure the flue pipe at a slight angle which greatly helped with my chimney coming in from the left hand side.
As above really pleased with the products, just wish I'd ordered the flue liner from them in the first place
This is the second time I've ordered twin wall stainless steel from Stove Fitters as fitted a flue at our old house and have just done the same at the new house. Excellent as always, they get everything right and include all the bits to make your life easy. Can't recommend then highly enough and they have great resources and advice on their website.
Great product and really helpful advice given willingly. Highly recommend.

Sound Economics
The most complete online offering of the literature of the Austrian School and libertarian ideas, including books, journal articles, and other writings, sorted by author or any method you choose.
The Ludwig von Mises Institute was founded in 1982 as the research and educational center of classical liberalism, libertarian political theory, and the Austrian School of economics. It serves as the world's leading provider of educational materials, conferences, media, and literature in support of the tradition of thought represented by Ludwig von Mises and the school of thought he enlivened and carried forward during the 20th century, which has now blossomed into a massive international movement of students, professors, professionals, and people in all walks of life. It seeks a radical shift in the intellectual climate as the foundation for a renewal of the free and prosperous commonwealth.
A collection of free ebooks available from the CATO Institute.
The Cato Institute is a public policy research organization — a think tank – dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets and peace. Its scholars and analysts conduct independent, nonpartisan research on a wide range of policy issues.
Founded in 1977, Cato owes its name to Cato's Letters, a series of essays published in 18th- century England that presented a vision of society free from excessive government power. Those essays inspired the architects of the American Revolution. And the simple, timeless principles of that revolution — individual liberty, limited government, and free markets – turn out to be even more powerful in today's world of global markets and unprecedented access to information than Jefferson or Madison could have imagined. Social and economic freedom is not just the best policy for a free people, it is the indispensable framework for the future.
FEE's mission is to inspire, educate and connect future leaders with the economic, ethical and legal principles of a free society.
For young minds interested in an introduction to free market economics and its foundations in the broader philosophy of individual liberty, FEE is the best source for inspiring content, programs and community. FEE is not an academic or political organization; instead our focus is making the economic, ethical and legal principles of a free society widely accessible, easily understood and energizing to young minds. We do this by delivering content that is substantive and thoughtful in forms most convenient to our customers, including in-person seminars and lectures, web-delivered content, printed material in book and magazine form, and networking opportunities. At FEE, young people—and educators who work with them—will find an exciting and optimistic introduction to the Austrian and classical liberal traditions in free market economics as well as opportunities to connect with other young people and free-market organizations around the world.

CNNs are dynamical arrays of locally-interconected cells, with a cell dynamics that depends upon the interconnection strengths to their neighbors. They can be designed to evolve in time according to partial differential equations. If this equation describes a physical phenomenon, then the CNN can simulate a complex physical system on-chip. This can be exploited to create electrical PUFs with high relevant structural information content.
To illustrate our paradigm at work, we design a circuit that directly emulates nonlinear wave propagation phenomena in a random media. It effectively translates the complexity of optical PUFs into electrical circuits. %&, leading to better practicality, while maintaining or even improving the security properties of their optical counterparts.Category / Keywords: Physical Uncloneable Functions (PUF), Analog circuits, Cellular Nonlinear Networks (CNN) Publication Info: Published or accepted nowhere.

Firefox Mobile Design Session: In-page Find
This is the second installment in the ongoing experiment to open the face-to-face design meetings we have at Mozilla. This design meeting centered around in-page find for Fennec (Firefox Mobile). This feature is as invaluable tool on the desktop, letting you home in quickly on the information you're looking for once a search engine has got you to the right page. It's incremental nature means you never have to type a key more than you need. Conspicuously missing from mobile Safari, incremental in-page find on mobile may prove to be even more of a killer feature than on it's desktop counterpart.
We've tried to learn from the feedback to the last video (which, at the time of writing, has almost 350 views!—I was expected a number that could be counted on two hands). We changed the format of our white-boarding to be more like slides: Each board contains a title with its purpose, and has more focused content.
Video is a low information density medium, so for this video we are trying Viddler which allows viewers to make in-line comments to increase its time-information density. The hope is that you guys can annotate, call out interesting sections, or providing feedback on ideas discussed. (Thanks to Patrick and Ian for suggesting this change).
Also, feel free to comment on particular design decisions, or give your own, in the comments here. My favorite feature to come out of this session was the idea of pre-filling your in-page find with the search term, if you had just come from a search engine. When looking for a particular piece of information, the work flow is often (1) search engine the term to get to a potential page, (2) in-page find for the same term to see if the information exists. By defaulting to the search term, it halves the amount of typing (more if you have to check multiple pages), without burdening the user if the guess is wrong.
Here's the video:

Here are my main issues. It seems like find involves:
1) sliding to bring out the try
2) choosing find
3) exposing the find overlay
4) typing the search tearm
5) finalize or cancel search
which seems pretty involved. I'm not really sure what some of the requirements are built in keyboard? onscreen keyboard? should all ui elements be exposed over touch? If you have to have an onscreen keyboard there's going to be a ton of missing space if you have a built in keyboard
you could use focus, key commands, etc.
Do you have PDF's of the slides available for this video like the other videos? Thanks.
Also, why invoke the find feature by using a button the control strip? Like Madhava said, those tool bars take up screen real estate. I always imagined the find feature would be integrated into the Awesome bar kinda like this:
Steps one and two can be reversed (doesn't matter which order). If the user does 1 then 2, then terms are suggested for popular words on the current page as the user types.
I dunno if that's UI overload but I thought it kind of makes sense since the Awesome bar is transforming into less of a URL bar and more of a general search bar.
The scrollbar idea is genius!
Also, I like the idea of selecting text in the webpage, and then having that automatically filled into the find search box when the find feature is invoked. This minimizes typing for the user.
Thanks for sharing! (Comments on the video — great you use viddler now).
@ ChrisJF: The slides got corrupted somehow. I'll ask Madhava to resend them. I also love that you mocked up an idea. It would be cool if you put that on Flickr and tagged it "mozconcept" to make it part of the Concept Series. There is a lot of legs to your idea.
@ Anders, ChrisJF, Tobias: Great comments. I'll try to respond to them soon. I promse! :)
@ ChrisJF: "I always imagined the find feature would be integrated into the Awesome bar"
I absolutlly agree, Great concept! :-)
@ChrisJF: Plus, if it's not found in the page, you can search the web without having to retype. If you hit Control+F, the Awesomebar is focused and the "Find-in-page" mode is activated without having to tap "Find on page". The idea extends to searching bookmarks, tabs and history too.
What about finding the previous match in the page? Should there be a "Previous in page" and a "Next in page" button, plus a "Match case" check box, instead of "Find in page"? (The "highlight all" button is redundant because all matches should always be highlighted while the search interface is displayed.)
a few HCI research papers that could be of interest in the discussion.
About scrolling: Orthozoom , http://www.lri.fr/~appert/website/orthozoom/orthozoom.html check the videos.
The works by Patrick Baudisch (in particular shift ) and Amy Karlson (in particular ThumbSpace) on interaction on mobile devices is interesting:
Check also Anne Roudaut's Taptap and magstick selection techniques : http://www.anneroudaut.fr/publications.php?language=
This is all great feedback — I'm really delighted. We'll definitely do more posting of videos, and the Viddler approach seems to help too.
ChrisJF – thanks for the mockup! I think you're absolutely right — there's got to be away of extending "search for a page" to "search within a page" to complete the finding task. I think we'd also want a way to initiate find-in-page that doesn't require bringing in the screen-consuming and conceptually separate "go to somewhere new" UI, though. And in desktop Firefox, where the awesomebar is always on screen, I think this makes even _more_ sense… especially if the awesomebar starts being a method for finding other things going on at the moment, like open tabs or downloaded files…
Anders — I'm inclined to agree with regards to initiating find in page from the control strip being cumbersome. It's a lot of taps/clicks, as you point out, but it also means moving the content area around, which may take the user away from where he or she is trying to find something. Keyboard shortcuts would certainly help, but we'd still want a way to get at the functionality on-screen…
As for the PDFs — they seem, unfortunately, to be corrupt even on the whiteboard computer, and resaving doesn't seem to help. I'll keep at it.

July 2005 – Happy Harvesting
Four tractor scoops of pig muck for £10 - what a bargain huh? Pat gets out of the car, holds his nose and runs into the shed - You can take the man out of the town, but you can't take the town out of the man! Bless him.
I had a trip to Anglesey Abbey in Cambridgeshire with a local gardening club, so bought a few plants. Different varieties of mints, and a cardoon. The former will grow rampantly so I have work out how to grow them up there so that they really clump up so that I can use them, but I don't want them invading everywhere and being a nuisance. The cardoon is a statuesque plant and can get as big as it likes, and once mature I can use the seed heads for flower arrangements.
I didn't have any success with sunflowers this year, the little plants got eaten, so maybe next year I will plant the seeds directly into the soil and keep them well protected.
The month was spent in soaring temperatures mowing the lawns, weeding and harvesting. The green manure I sowed a couple of months ago, at the end of the lottie, has formed a lovely thick lawn and it is so nice to have a clear area. I have put our old set of tables and chairs and a bench down there. The only bit of shade on the whole site is in one tiny corner. It is my ambition to one day have time to sit and relax and have a picnic lunch there. It is such a great feeling when you are out in the sunshine, without a soul around, and you walk around harvesting fruit and vegetables, then taking them home and cooking and or freezing them.
They joy of taking home a bag of mixed lettuce and salad leaves, varieties of which you don't get in a supermarket. Chives, Penny Royal, Oregano, Tarragon, Sage, Parsley, Rosemary, Thyme. Eating white beetroot, both leaves and root, new red and white potatoes, onions, peas. You can't beat the pleasure of eating things that you have grown yourself – all the aches and pains and hard work pall into insignificance!
I was on holiday for a week in Yorkshire, so my neighbour had the pleasure of picking the crops. The weather was so hot and dry, it was a shame to waste them, especially the raspberries.
The allotment site is tucked away and can't be seen from the road and is not signposted so lots of people are not even aware of it being there. Which is one of the best things I adore. I read other web sites of allotments and sometimes I think it would be really nice to have the camaraderie of a big organised site with running water, properly laid out, allotment societies, etc. But it is so peaceful there and hidden that, touch wood, we don't have the worry of thefts or vandalism, and long may it be so.
Oh dear, looks like I have to go now, but I will be back again another day - keep looking.

There's an important concept in design-thinking called "Build To Learn." When we build to learn, we build stuff, quick and dirty prototypes, in order to figure out what the thing we are working on should be like. We build instead of just think about, or worry about, how the thing that we are working on might turn out. You hear writers talk about taking this leap of faith all of the time. When asked about their process, writers often reply with something like, "I let the story take me where it wants to go." They don't have the story all figured out in their minds. They write, or build, to discover the story.
Of course to some extent we all do this occasionally. When we get lost in a car, for example, we'll wander around aimlessly until we see something that we recognize. Or when we don't have an ingredient for a recipe that we're making we'll improvise and find something we think or hope will work as well as the ingredient in the script. We don't know for sure that we'll find our way in the car or that we'll make a recipe that is tasty, but we have enough faith to keep working on it.
Yet, when it comes to work situations many of us fall into the trap of thinking that we need to figure out all of the details about how something will work without ever testing bits and pieces of it.
The picture above is of my students building an exhibit for Imagine RIT festival on May 7. As you can probably see in the photo, the students don't know how every little detail will work out in the end. They are exploring the exhibit space by tinkering with it. I'm happy to say that yesterday they made leaps and bounds - more than they ever would have sitting at their desks just worrying about what might or might not be successful.
Building to learn is especially useful when we're faced with several approaches to a problem and are having a difficult time figuring out which one is right. Instead of trying to guess which solution is the right one, we quickly build a few prototypes to help us decide. Some people resist this approach because they reason that building two or more prototypes is more work than building just one (I get this from my students a lot). But if we only build one solution to a problem and it fails, then we have to start all over again. Or even worse, we have to tolerate a poorly designed system just because we put "so much work into it" and can't bear to throw it out and start again. Short-sightedness.
Building to learn is an aspect of a larger ethos at the core of design thinking: designers spend more time in the "fuzzy front end" of a project, building to learn, exploring many options so that we can test out a few things before we build and launch the "finished" version. It's a difficult shift to make for some. But feel free to try it. Try it with something small like intentionally getting lost on a walk or improvising a recipe. Then see if you can apply that same way of working to a bigger project. And who knows, you may just discover something that you could have never found just sitting at your desk.

At a prestigious ceremony this evening the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) celebrated its tenth anniversary by recognising initiatives and individuals from around the world that have made an outstanding contribution to safeguard digital resources for the future.
At the DPC's Digital Preservation Awards, which took place at the Wellcome Collection in London on Monday night, three agencies received awards for their exceptional contribution to ensuring the long-term security of digital collections: the University of London Computer Centre for their pioneering and popular 'Digital Preservation Training Programme'; the PLANETS project for its ground-breaking and innovative technologies; and the Archaeology Data Service at the University of York for its outstanding work securing valuable but vulnerable research data.
The three awards were presented this year were:
1. The DPC Decennial Award for an outstanding contribution to digital preservation
2. The DPC Award for Teaching and Communications
3. The DPC Award for Research and Innovation
The Award for Teaching and Communications was presented by Oliver Morley, Chief Executive of the National Archives to a small team from the University of London Computer Centre who run the Digital Preservation Training Programme (DPTP) - an entry-level, introductory course that develops critical thinking about digital preservation. It is designed to help all working in information management to understand effective approaches to the challenges of digital preservation, and enables students to assess the models and examples in the context of their own organisations.
The Award for Research and Innovation was presented by Martyn Harrow, Chief Executive of JISC to the PLANETS project. PLANETS brought together memory institutions, small businesses, major technology providers, and research institutions from across Europe to build practical services and tools to help ensure long-term access to digital cultural and scientific assets. It established the not-for-profit Open Planets Foundation to provide the digital preservation community with services, ongoing support, and a sustainable future for its Open Source results. It advanced the state-of-the-art in digital preservation and has permanently changed the digital preservation landscape by shifting the focus to practical, sustainable solutions that are soundly supported by practice-driven research.
The DPC's most prestigious prize – the Decennial Prize – is awarded specially to mark the tenth anniversary of the founding of the DPC and it recognizes the most outstanding work over the decade that the DPC has existed. An intense international competition followed and finalists from New York, Washington and London were selected after a painstaking assessment by an expert panel. But when Dame Lynne Brindley announced the winner this evening, it was the Archaeology Data Service at the University of York that came out on top. The Archaeology Data Service is an innovative group based in the Archaeology Department of the University of York. ADS has developed and thrived with an innovative business model that allows it to preserve an extraordinary range of data while providing free access to all comers. It ensures the longevity of data that would rapidly be lost or obsolete, and it has an impressive track record of research and innovation.
William Kilbride, Executive Director of the DPC said: "These awards are important in showcasing the creative solutions that have been developed towards digital preservation. Digital preservation is critical. We know that significant parts of the economy, industry, research, government and the public life depend on the opportunities information technology creates, but the rapid churn in technology means data is also surprisingly fragile. We are the first generation that's had to think about handing on a digital legacy, so we need to act quickly to develop the skills and techniques that will ensure our legacy is protected."
The contributions of nine other exceptional finalists were also marked in the ceremony hosted by Richard Ovenden, Chair of the DPC and Deputy Director of the Bodleian Libraries at University of Oxford, one of the world's premiere memory institutions. It is one of many agencies that have joined the Digital Preservation Coalition to help develop the new skills necessary to preserve their growing digital collections.
In different ways, the winners and finalists of the Digital Preservation Awards demonstrate an unassuming creativity that not only deserves to be better known and celebrated: it will be vital for the on-going exploitation of high value data.
Notes for editors

Cylon dresses for my friend in France!
I used Colette's pattern for the Ceylon dress. https://www.colettepatterns.com/catalog/ceylon
For the black dress I used brocade silk.
and used the sleeve from Nicola dress from Victory patterns.http://www.victorypatterns.com/products/nicola/
I decided to use the same fitting and do another ceylon dress using cotton fabric and silk lining.
I also made a bolero or "Victory Jacket" from Sew Chic Patterns for the cooler days and evenings.
Oh! I do miss France and hope to be there again one day with my friend!!!!!

"For me, the art of dance is not literal. I love to take in the experience through all my senses, and feel the emotion on another level. Dance can pick you up and sweep you away... it can be sometimes uplifting, sometimes poignant; but it always strives to speak the truth. The clarity and poetic purpose of movement in dance choreography is what inspired the gestures of this piece.
I covered the surfaces with intricately carved symbols and icons. I like that the painted effect gives the illusion of sheer lace. The wings are more ethereal than other Willow Tree; they're minimal, more free-form, almost disappearing…
The carvings on Dance of Life are suggestive of fruitfulness and fecundity... pomegranates and birds, intertwined with vines and berries, refer to the richness and renewal of life. On Song of Joy, the carvings are more celestial... sun, moon, stars... alluding to rhythmic cycles and seasons. I hope that these pieces can be enjoyed singly or together, with the Nativity or on their own."

App Review: ORBITAL by bitforge Ltd.
by Dorothy on
August 29, 2009
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Entertainment, Games
ORBITAL is a unique strategy game. The goal of the game is to earn points by destroying the orbs on the screen. The problem is that the only tool you have to destroy the orbs is a cannon that shoots orbs. So, each time you shoot at the other orbs, you create another orb in the process. To add to the difficulty, each orb must be hit 3 times to be destroyed. The number of hits remaining is shown by the number inside the orb.
There are three major rules governing the game. First, orbs will expand until they hit something. Each orb that you shoot from your cannon will eventually stop moving and come to rest on a spot on the screen. Immediately, it will expand to fill the space available until it hits either the side of the screen or another orb. Second, if the orb you shoot bounces off of something and hits the death line above your cannon, the game is over. Third, destroy orbs by hitting each one 3 times. Only one point is awarded for each orb destroyed. it takes some careful planning and manipulating to destroy the orbs on the screen without hitting the death line.
The first time I played the game, I was kind of lost. I sat and waited for the first orbs to appear so that I could shoot them. Oops! If you wait, they will never come. You create the orbs by shooting them out of your cannon. Then, you try to destroy them. To fire an orb from the cannon, simply tap on the screen when the cannon is pointed in the desired direction. It takes a few games before you figure out what is the best way to set up your game.
There are two modes of game play; gravity and pure mode. The look exactly the same, but behave quite differently. In gravity mode, each orb that is created on the screen has a field of gravity much the way a planet in space would. Larger orbs exert more force than smaller ones. This gravity can change the trajectory of your future shots and can even make shots hit the orbs. In most cases, the gravity works to your benefit. In pure mode, there is no gravity. Your shots simply travel in straight lines, bouncing off objects in their way.
Since only one point is awarded for each orb that you manage to hit 3 times, scores are a lot lower in this game than in many others. My first few games yielded only single digit scores. With a little practice, though, you can quickly improve your score and compete online with your friends. ORBITAL is a unique and challenging game of strategy that will keep you coming back for more.

Louise "Lou" Riley agrees to tag along with her friends on a Valentine's Day cruise around Seattle's Lake Union. Donning their best 1920s attire, they board the old-fashioned paddle wheeler steamboat for an evening that's expected to be the bee's knees. Lou plans to shed her third wheel status onboard when she joins Nate, who she's been sweet on for months. But when a mishap sends the dashing (and single!) Landon Harper to her aid, Lou discovers that Cupid may have other plans for her love life, and she and Landon share an unforgettable few hours together. Then, a surprise announcement sends everyone into a frenzy. Will Lou and Landon live happily ever after? Or maybe Lou and Nate are meant to be… Find out where the cherub's arrow lands in Cupid On Deck, a roaring good time aboard a love boat reminiscent of the jazz age.Nancy Scrofano's latest read, Cupid on Deck, is an incredibly romantic novelette. If you loved Nancy's debut, True Love Way, then you'll feel right at home!
Lou is another fun heroine with a passion for the past. Dressed as flappers, Lou and her best friend Meg are spending Valentine's Day on a 1920's theme cruise, dancing and romance in their sights. Meg's on a date with her boyfriend Max and to keep Lou from feeling like a third wheel he's arranged for his cousin, Nate, to be her date. Lou's had a crush on Nate since she first met him, and she finally has the chance to make her move and show him how she feels. The night doesn't begin so well, though, when Nate shows up with his own date and Lou, sweet,single Lou, is left surrounded by lovey-dovey couples. Then, a dashing hero, Landon Harper, makes his way over to Lou and the romance begins in earnest.
Cupid on Deck is just the right length to put readers in a romantic mind frame. It's a quick read, but I felt like I really got to know Lou and Landon, so rooting for them became a natural occurrence. Nancy's style will be familiar to fans, but also distinguishable. I love that she can remain true to her signature style, but entertain us with something different that her last novel. Cupid on Deck is a light, chick-lit read with a little humor added to the mix. I loved True Love Way, her first full length novel, and I'm a big fan of Nancy's, but I'm looking forward to more of her novelette length reads!
