I think the intention IS to say: "please be aware of how hundreds of millions of copies of software that people use today actually work" <masinter> Wendy, are you're advising us not to say things that you think are true but just shouldn't be said? <wseltzer> masinter, I'm suggesting that the document would be stronger if it omitted the references to law <masinter> Wendy, why would it be stronger? for whom? Why is what it says weak? <wseltzer> masinter, because once it starts down the advocacy path, it's easily dismissed as *mere* advocacy noah: I don't want to completely avoid terms like "copying". I think it's OK to say: "here are the things the Web actually does as it operates. If some law were to outlaw "XXX" then we would likely have to turn off all proxies on the Web, and performance would tank." <noah> I thought our goal was to set out terminology that would be useful to those working in the legal domain. Larry: I don't understand why it would be stronger if laws are not referenced, as the goal is to remain technical <masinter> i just think the results wouldn't be as useful tlr: I wasn't saying that writing a document for multiple audience is impossible, just that this document is not doing that effectively <masinter> i can believe it isn't there <noah> tlr: ...and I think addressing one audience will be easier than addressing many tlr: the question is where the TAG can make a difference for the good on that topic and for which audience ... using simpler language and being away from legal implications ... right now the document is untargeted and doesn't work for any audience Ashok: I'm puzzled by those comments. THe audience is people who make laws and make policies. There are no legal analysis in the document, just wording saying that there are legal disputes, for examples timbl: embedding or linking is different and socially different. Clarifying that for the press, policy makers, etc... will help not making mistakes with using "linking" <wseltzer> *how* are embedding and linking different? tlr: the document identifies an audience, it doesn't work for that audience, and some parts of the documents are clearly written for different audiences like the definition of linking in HTML is way too complicated for lawyers, it seems written for technologists <masinter> i like having motivating examples, though. i'd want to leave the background section because most people don't understand there are such issues noah: the background section might go deeper than necessary for legal issues, while the intro stays at a fairly high level, could we do something with Thomas' comments? squeeze section 2 <masinter> i'd rather elaborate or preface what we have tlr: your foundation seems to be explaining difference between linking and embedding to lawyers <rigo> [12]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indecs_Content_Model [12] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indecs_Content_Model <rigo> for reuse noah: the comments about technical details depends on the technicality of the audience, which vary wendy: the premise is that linking and embedding are different, in which sense they are different? it might be difficult to infer from the markup the intent of the user <noah> NM: I'm asking how much savy we should assume on the part of our audience. Clearly some lawyers have very little technical knowledge, yet Judge Posner apparently hacks Java. I'm assuming that lawyers who work on Web policy can be assumed to have at least a vague notion of the role of HTML on the Web. timbl: this have nothing to do with intent, as you can tell what you want is your intent. If you use an iframe, and make a link there is an underlying intent <wseltzer> but not everyone who uses the protocol knows or agrees with those intents <noah> The HTML5 spec says of iframe "The iframe element represents a nested browsing context." Seems pretty vague to me. <noah> [13]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/embedded-conte nt-0.html#the-iframe-element [13] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/embedded-content-0.html#the-iframe-element rigo: if you look at the document, and compare to what Tim just said, the conclusion is that what Tim said is useful, but the document doesn't say that. ... also we need to assess the intent between user clicking, a robot following a link. ... I have identified 8 goals in that document, one of them is the copyright issue. This issue alone is at the root of the creation in policital groups Larry: the goal was to try to represent the consensus of the web community if the W3C endorse a document that explains how the web works, that has more value than any random statement. Also the document is not explaining the meaning of life, so rigo's comment is strange <masinter> is the statement wrong, or just 'not enough' ? <masinter> Rigo "Legislation that governs the possession and distribution of unlawful material (such as child pornography, information that is under copyright or material that is legally suppressed through a gag order) often needs to exempt certain types of services, " <tlr> "often needs" <tlr> on what basis does it need to? <noah> FWIW, I'm inclined to let this discussion go for awhile, but pretty soon we'll have to start thinking about how we move forward. <Ashok> Thomas, would more detail help in the example sentence? <rigo> 5.1.6 Licensing <noah> [14]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/PublishingAndLinkingOnTheWeb -20121015.html#licensing [14] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/PublishingAndLinkingOnTheWeb-20121015.html#licensing <rigo> Websites indicate a license that describes how the information within the website can be reused by others. <rigo> Just as with HTTP headers, robots.txt and sitemaps, there can be no technical guarantees that crawlers will honor license information within a site. <noah> " Websites indicate a license that describes how the information within the website can be reused by others. <noah> Just as with HTTP headers, robots.txt and sitemaps, there can be no technical guarantees that crawlers will honor license information within a site. However, to give well behaved crawlers a chance of identifying the license under which a page is published, websites should: " timbl: rigo, can you give a concrete example? <noah> Tim, I think I've quoted the licensing bit that Rigo's talking about in the IRC log just above rigo: in the publishing area, there can be business models attached to it, and some business models may requires some tehcnologies and obstacles <masinter> what does 5.1.6 say about policy? <masinter> there seems to be some concern about things being out of scope "for the TAG to say" tlr: in 5.1.6 the "should" list could be the subject of debates another example is offline applications, where it's not really about obscuring following links <Zakim> noah, you wanted to talk about long term thrashing <masinter> i needed detailed examples to understand the high-level comments noah: we receive comments, iterate, and produce new versions. at long as it converge it is good. Looks like we are thrashing here <masinter> we removed all of the "best practices", although they're still there if you view source it is likely that even after processing all those comments we would receive the same kind of comments <masinter> view-source:[15]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/publishingAndLin kingOnTheWeb.html and look for <div class="practice"> [15] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/publishingAndLinkingOnTheWeb.html rigo: some people, including in the TAG underestimate the complexity, difficulty, etc... of explaining even a single issue to policy makers rigo:The main critique from me is: trying to do too many things, each of which if done right would take much more work than you probably would think. <masinter> i think the detailed description of the interaction of policy and technology probably belongs in a working group, and that this is more of a survey of issues rigo: e.g. could focus on bits such as "difference between embedding and linking". That alone would be substantial work if done right. <tlr> masinter, a survey of issues doesn't belong on the recommendation track Larry: I think we intended more of a survey...hearing you say a survey doesn't belong on REC track. Not sure, maybe. larry: we started more with a survey in mind. I hear that the survey does not belong to the REC track <masinter> i think we have a couple of choices of where to go ashok: we expect to have more reviews of that document, so we shouldn't hurry up tlr: it would be very useful to give clear expectations "what the TAG want to achieve with that document" the low-level point is that the LC announcement was not sent to the chairs ML <masinter> I think we got down this road because we were asked if we could bring some clarity with respect to screwy legal decisions. <masinter> we <masinter> we've gotten several different suggestions on how to move forward <masinter> saying less, fixing errors, pick one of several audiences <wseltzer> [leaves, thanks] noah: needs guidance on how to proceed, rewrite, rescind, etc... <masinter> Want to hear from Jeni & Dan, who did most of the initial work <masinter> yes timbl: how about having thomas, rigo or wendy work with the editors? <Ashok> +1 ti <masinter> maybe a task force? noah: if we have a focus that can attract their interest, then sure <tlr> I'm happy to agree to being a reviewer. <Ashok> great! <masinter> 1+ to working with a small group to work on one section <rigo> I identified the following goals in the document: noah: does it include refocusing? ashok: maybe <rigo> - Daniel Glazman's issue: "you can't link to my site" <rigo> - censorship and the web (various appearances thereof)/ illegal and harmful content <rigo> - social meaning of linking <rigo> - deep linking problems and access control <rigo> - copyright, robots.txt and search engines <rigo> - youth protection <rigo> - linking <masinter> . ACTION: tim to recruit task force to work on one section? tlr: is one goal to explain the technicality of linking, or the social aspect of linking? <noah> I think the TAG's competence is more toward explaining technical details that are in fact important. So, I'd err on the side of low level, with the goal that it be competent to lawyers, not programmers. <rigo> Law enforcement might require that a site owner keep => eDiscovery (big issue in US at the moment) tlr: I started to review section by section the document, but it didn't help as the main issues was the one I highlighted first, the goal and the audience <masinter> what does the web community need? To remove uncertainty tlr: I could send a detailed review, but the document should not be fixed by focusing on details <Zakim> masinter, you wanted to get back to the fundamentals larry: we were asked to address concerns about regulatory governance not matching the technology <rigo> still more: reuse material => DRM <tlr> you pick a specific audienc <tlr> you pick specific topics <tlr> you pick specific messages <tlr> you write them up in a way that works for that audience larry: I didn't hear from the commentor how to respond to the need of the web community <masinter> this is a place where governance doesn't match the technology, or matches awkwardly, how can we help bring the web <masinter> this isn't intended to be a statement by the TAG, it's intended to be a statement by the web community, as represented by W3C, and as originated by the TAG. That's the reason for going to REC rather than Finding <tlr> side note, the material about "re-users" doesn't make much sense in the context it shows up in. [re-statements of comments made earlier] <rigo> I find actors and agents very useful! <tlr> [16]http://www.icann.org/en/groups/ssac/documents/sac-056-en.pd f [16] http://www.icann.org/en/groups/ssac/documents/sac-056-en.pdf <masinter> what's the group that produced that? tlr: the document above is descriptive on issues about content-blocking not prescriptive <tlr> (just as an example for a well-written technology meets policy document) <Zakim> masinter, you wanted to suggest a task force <masinter> Noah, you asked for discussion about next steps, so i gave a process answer <noah> Process answer is fine, but I'm hoping the process will focus real soon on a set of goals that people believe are achievable either soon, or incrementally. Noah: the TAG needs to assess if it is a good use of our time <masinter> alternative next step: uncomment the "findings" and publish as "NOTE" <masinter> suggest that W3C "should" take this up but not in TAG <masinter> thanks indeed <Ashok> Larry, did you mean uncomment the best practices? noah: let me know if we need to discuss this on jan 3rd, it will be on the f2f agenda <noah> ACTIOn-753? <trackbot> ACTION-753 -- Larry Masinter to do first draft of technical issues list for Jeff -- due 2012-10-22 -- PENDINGREVIEW <trackbot> [17]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/753 [17] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/753 <noah> close ACTION-753 <trackbot> ACTION-753 do first draft of technical issues list for Jeff closed actions <noah> ACTION-766? <trackbot> ACTION-766 -- Noah Mendelsohn to respond to e-mail on AWWW "typo" saying TAG did not agree that a change was needed -- due 2012-11-15 -- PENDINGREVIEW <trackbot> [18]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/766 [18] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/766 <noah> close ACTION-766 <trackbot> ACTION-766 Respond to e-mail on AWWW "typo" saying TAG did not agree that a change was needed closed ADJOURNED Summary of Action Items [End of minutes] __________________________________________________________ Minutes formatted by David Booth's [19]scribe.perl version 1.137 ([20]CVS log) $Date: 2013-01-23 15:01:47 $ __________________________________________________________ [19] http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/scribe/scribedoc.htm [20] http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2002/scribe/ Scribe.perl diagnostic output [Delete this section before finalizing the minutes.] This is scribe.perl Revision: 1.137 of Date: 2012/09/20 20:19:01 Check for newer version at [21]http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/ scribe/ [21] http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/scribe/ Guessing input format: RRSAgent_Text_Format (score 1.00) Succeeded: s/i agree/i can believe/ Succeeded: s/document should not focus/document should not be fixed by f ocusing/ Found Scribe: Yves Inferring ScribeNick: Yves Default Present: Masinter, plinss, Thomas, Ashok_Malhotra, Noah_Mendelso hn, noah, Rigo, Wendy, Yves, TimBL Present: Masinter plinss Thomas Ashok_Malhotra Noah_Mendelsohn noah Rigo Wendy Yves TimBL Agenda: [22]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/12/20-agenda Found Date: 20 Dec 2012 Guessing minutes URL: [23]http://www.w3.org/2012/12/20-tagmem-minutes.ht ml People with action items: [22] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/12/20-agenda [23] http://www.w3.org/2012/12/20-tagmem-minutes.html WARNING: Input appears to use implicit continuation lines.

e-Impact project brings closer CEF Transport and CEF Digital
Lisbon, Portugal
21 Jul 2017
The e-Freight Implementation Action (e-Impact) is a project funded by Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Transport programme, aiming to implement paperless and seamless information flows along the whole transport logistics chain. The project involves the creation of a message exchange infrastructure that enables shippers, freight forwarders, transport carriers, network managers as well as authorities to communicate with one another in a secure, interoperable and reliable way. e-Impact reuses the CEF eDelivery building block of CEF Digital as the basis of this message exchange infrastructure. As a result, CEF eDelivery will be used in four real-life trials in the core ports of Trieste in Italy, Gdansk, Gdynia, Szczecin and Świnoujście in Poland, and Leixões and Lisbon in Portugal.(...)

In the Northern suburbs of Chicago, getting from one town to the next is a breeze with the expressway that cuts right through the heart of Chicago suburbia. For us here at Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge Northfield, located near the more recognizable suburb of Skokie, that expressway acts as a lifeline to our business, allowing us to proudly serve drivers from all over the Northern suburbs of Illinois find the right car for their particular budget and specific driving needs.

As a trip that's roughly 7 miles in distance (depending on where in Skokie you're starting out from), the average commute time is somewhere around 12 minutes in good traffic. Coming from the cross streets of Main St. and Skokie Blvd. in Skokie, you'll want to head North on Skokie Blvd., then take a left (head West) on Dempster St. From there, you'll want to take I-94W (which really heads straight North), all the way to the W. Willow Rd. exit. At that point, you're almost there. You'll take a right on Central Ave. from there, and continue on until it turns into Frontage Rd. Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge Northfield is on Frontage Rd., on the left hand side. If you miss the Willow exit on I-94W, you'll be able to see us from the highway, so you'll be able to gain your bearings and circle back easily. Once you arrive, you'll be able to speak with our well-trained and eager staff about our new and pre-owned vehicles available. We've got a variety of vehicles to look at, from a 2006 Dodge Charger to the 2014 Jeep Compass Latitude. Feel free to check out these models and more on our website as well.

Provenance is everything in the world of antiques, collectables and all that other detritus that dealers try to bump up the price of. If you don't have it then it's not worth a bean.
So. I give you - "possibly" Laurence Olivier's telephone (LOP). There it is up there. I bought it. It sits on my desk. Though not connected - try dialling a mobile phone number on an old phone, it takes ages and then you get through to somebody you don't know - it does work.
In a West London antique shop I occasionally frequent: A respectable old couple come in with a cardboard box of things wrapped in newspaper.
"I wonder if you'd be interested in any of these" they say and unpack the bundles on to the counter in front of the owner.
I can see some old china, a vase, a telephone. "This used to belong to Laurence Olivier. It was left in his old house in Brighton when we bought it off him".
Turns out they had just taken it to one of the main auction houses where they were consigning some paintings but because of lack of provenance the auction house had passed on the phone. Or so they said.
Still that was good enough for me. After they had sold the phone and other bits I bought the phone from the shop for no more than a non celebrity bakelite phone would have cost.
"Possibly" LOP was good enough for me but I thought I'd look into it a little and see if it was even slightly possible that it was "definitely" LOP.
The couple had given the name of the street in which this house had been. That checked out but even a cursory look at a Larry biography would have given them that. There was a number on the dial but that was a later addition - or was it? You can find Laurence Olivier's old phone number online through the British Telecom archive. It was similar but not the same. I found a few pictures of Larry on the blower. Inconclusive. I couldn't find a photo of Larry with a phone at home.
Then the phone itself. That's where I thought it had all come apart. Possibly LOP was looking definitely not LOP. I searched online for phone information and discovered that the markings on this phone meant that it had been manufactured in Portugal and not in the UK. The date of manufacture (1959) was right but Portugal? Surely Larry wouldn't have had a foreign phone. That was it. Or so I thought.
But now. A few months on I have had an email from one of the (actually possibly the only) British Telephone Experts who run a mind-boggling comprehensive website documenting every aspect of the British phone. I had clicked on the "ask a question" button on the site looking for information on the phone and its unlikelihood of being LOP.
Turns out that at the time this phone was made the GPO were just getting ready to launch a new model and that the old style models were being manufactured abroad and shipped in. In the late 1950s it was common for UK users to get parts from Portugal or even whole phones. Indeed my expert says he knows for a fact that one of his relatives who lives in Sussex was issued with a Portuguese phone that they kept throughout the 1960s because he was given it when they moved house in the 1970s.
So there you go. For me its proof enough. LOP is definitely LOP. And when I pick it I can imagine dear Johnny G or Ralph R at the other end of the line once more.

It was a long, harsh winter but summer is finally here! I'm excited to spend as much time outdoors soaking in the sun and warmth as I can, and along with that, spending time in all the great outdoor spaces that have started popping up around Philadelphia in the past few years. We sure have plenty of places to drink outside and naturally, you're going to want to eat, too. So for the entire month of July, I'll be highlighting the burgers around town at various beer gardens. First up: Drury Beer Garden, located behind Opa. You can either access it by heading down that sketchy alley where McGillin's Olde Ale House is (you know the one) or through the rear door of Opa's dining room.
The DBG Double Down Burger is a two handed, double decker delight: two 5 oz patties topped with house cured bacon, sharp cheddar, beer sauce & a giant tomato slice. I wasn't asked how I wanted the burger cooked and was worried that the size of the two patties would result in their being cooked to medium-well/well done, but they came out surprisingly pink (I think due in part to the hand-formed shape of the patties). The giant tomato slice made the already large burger a little awkward to eat, but I managed my way around it. The ciabatta-like bun was thick, which was good since there was a lot of grease/meat juice runoff; the bun helped to catch a good deal of it. While the presentation looked nice, it seemed a little cumbersome serving it on the board. The seasoned, hand-cut fries started sliding off and the meat juice/grease that had run off the burger started to pool in the center. I was worried that the busser/bartender would get splashed with it when they cleared my plate! There also wasn't any place to put condiments (I wasn't given any and I wish I'd had some kind of aioli or ketchup to enjoy the fries with). Weird plating aside, the burger was really tasty and, paired with a Dogfish Head Festina Peche, a great way to spend a sunny afternoon!
Burger rating: "B-"

It's a History Mystery in Tama County July 15 – September 27
— Chelsea, Dora Bopp, Iowa, Iowa Valley RC&D, Iowa Valley Scenic Byway, Montour, mystery, Tama, Tama County, Toledo
Iowa has a lot of famous and interesting people who got their start in small rural towns before making it big. But a lot of the people of the past don't come up in regular café conversation and aren't mentioned in our school textbooks – a real shame considering how unique and fascinating their lives were.
This summer, for ten weeks, Iowa Valley RC&D invites you to participate in the Tama Town Mystery for a chance to learn about one fascinating person from the past who shouldn't be forgotten.
The Tama Town Mystery takes place along the Iowa Valley Scenic Byway and will have participants traveling to the four Tama County towns of Montour, Tama, Toledo and Chelsea. There are ten clues to find, each one posted at a different town business. The mystery is solved when the person can be identified.
Event organizer and Iowa Valley Scenic Byway Coordinator Dora Bopp says the clues aren't too easy. "With the internet just a smart phone away we were careful to craft each clue so that alone it wouldn't be enough information, but together the set of ten clues make it possible to solve." Although, she adds, "some very good detectives may be able to solve the mystery in only a few clues. We'll see."
Participants who solve the mystery can submit their answer and contact information for a chance to win one of three $50 cash prizes and an overnight murder mystery package at Chelsea's Periwinkle Place Manor.
Bopp says that the mystery alone is worth the driving and sleuthing, but a benefit is also getting a chance to explore four small Iowa towns, the scenic byway, and a summer Iowa landscape.
What you need to know to get started:
Tama Town Mystery Clue Locations:
Rube's Meat Shop – 200 Elm St., Montour
Shoestring Garden – 205 Business Hwy 30, Toledo
Fuzz's Sports Pub – 201 W. High St., Toledo
Butter Cow Ice Cream – 105 Hwy 30, Toledo
Meskwaki Travel Plaza – 1494 Hwy 30, Tama
Fleur de lis – 127 W. 3rd St., Tama
King Tower Café – 1701 E. 5th St., Tama
John Ernest Vineyard & Winery – 3291 N Ave., Tama
Silver Dollar Bar & Grill – 705 Station St., Chelsea
Artique Boutique – 508 Station St., Chelsea
Each clue gives one detail about this famous person. You can read the clues in any order. There is no purchase necessary to participate. Only one entry per person. Once the mystery has been solved, answers and contact information can be emailed to Iowa Valley Scenic Byway Coordinator Dora Bopp at email@example.com by Sun. Sept. 27th to be entered into the drawing. Four winners will be selected on Sept. 28th for three $50 cash prizes and an overnight murder mystery package for two at Periwinkle Place Manor. The murder mystery package for two includes a four-course meal, murder mystery, after party with music, overnight stay and breakfast.
Funds were provided by participating Tama County businesses and the Tama County Community Foundation. For additional information visit www.ivrcd.org or contact Dora Bopp at email@example.com or 319.622.3264.

The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) website on Saturday was attacked by foreign sides which try to prevent the Syrian national media from conveying the truth of events and unmasking the conspiracy hatched against Syria. After the failure of several attempts to hack the website and publish fabricated news on it, foreign sides targeted the website with a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack).
In the same context, anonymous sides stole SANA logo from the website and designed an advertisement in English and Arabic that includes provocative calls and distributed it through email.
SANA website is a multi-lingual website. It publishes news and articles in seven languages: English, French, Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Turkish and Arabic.

*Certified driving range of 100 km, certified by independent organisation UTAC.
Discover electric performance
Renault TWIZY
Fully electric, fully fun, zero emissions: Renault TWIZY re-invents your perception of the town.
The autonomy of your Renault TWIZY
Boost your autonomy
Even more autonomy by adopting simple habits is possible!
Up to 100 km* of driving range
Like fuel consumption in a fuel-powered vehicle, the driving range of Renault TWIZY depends on four variables:
- the physical geography of the route
- your speed: type of route (motorway, highway, town etc.)
- the exterior temperature with the use of air conditioning or heating
- your driving style: sporty, soft or eco-driving.
Under normal driving conditions, you have a real driving range of between 50 and 80 km. If you acquire some simple eco-driving habits, your driving range can reach about 80 km in an urban environment. Drive calmly, anticipate your stops by lifting the foot off the accelerator and you will soon see your driving range increase on the onboard computer. Excessive speed and strong accelerations will have the opposite effect but you will still have a driving range of about 55 km.

Sanjay's Super Team's Big Step for Diversity
Nowadays, in the animation industry, the short film that goes ahead of the feature gets just as much attention as the main event. But none has gotten so much attention as "Sanjay's Super Team". Short films are a big deal for the Big Studios for several reasons: they get to tell stories that wouldn't normally get feature film support, they get to test out production tools on the short before implementing them in full production and they sometimes give an animation artist who has yet to be a director the chance to exercise their ability to direct a team in a decent sized production. Pixar made headlines when Brenda Chapman was announced to direct "Brave" and Pixar made even more headlines when Chapman left but this time around, the diversity needle has tipped in a different direction: Pixar is giving the first Indian-American director the chance to develop a deeply personal story about their culture. Sanjay Patel, who already has an extensive illustrative career, is creating a beautiful tale based on his childhood of learning to appreciate the Indian side of his childhood that he initially found boring.
"Sanjay's Super Team" is the diversity that the American animation industry doesn't always get to share. Representation has been improving on the screen but we're still hurting for movies by people of the cultures represented in the first place. "The Book of Life" was an unexpected success, focusing on Mexican culture, that exploded in October 2014 when expectations of films are set relatively low in comparison with November releases. But people learned to cherish "The Book of Life" despite it being technically "difficult to relate to" and it ultimately educated people on aspects of Mexican culture that the majority of Americans are unaware of. While last winter's box office hit, "Big Hero 6" featured an Asian cast set in an alternative-future-verse, culture was a detail that didn't need to be discussed since media has been catching up on telling "relatable" stories of diverse individuals. Especially when Hollywood still thinks it's a good idea to cast Caucasian actors for Asian characters, every little success goes a long way for diversity.
But there's one more reason why I'm excited for "Sanjay's Super Team". Americans often assume that animated films with low production values are made overseas thanks to the reputation of films like "Legends of Oz: Dorothy Returns" and the Taiwanese studio that creates dramatic re-enactments. "Sanjay's Super Team" is a movie about a culture from a country that many Americans look down on for having so much "American" work outsourced to it, it's impossible for some to believe India has their own animation culture and industry. Sanjay is getting to express how difficult it was to grow up as both Indian and American while celebrating the two halves of himself he's come to embrace. "Sanjay's Super Team" is the perfect chance to show that it's possible to be proud of your underrepresented culture with high production values to counter your heritage's negative reputation. Add that to the fact that this short is playing in front of "The Good Dinosaur" which is being directed by Pixar's first Korean-American director, Peter Sohn (also known as the inspiration for Russell from "Up"), Pixar's got a lot of wins with this pairing. Hopefully the Big Studios will get back to developing more faceted stories about girls and women (of color?) soon.

Please start with Part 1 if you have not already read it.
Much of the information discussed here comes from the fiscal and policy note prepared by the State of Maryland.
Various groups opposed to SB-167 like to characterize the people who will benefit as Illegal Aliens and hence criminals. I do not feel extreme by bolding the term criminal. Read the talking points at MDPetitions.com designed to turn voters against SB-167 which are based on a variety of disinformation and partial information.
Who are these people? First, they are undocumented individuals. The specifics of undocumented individuals will be covered in another posting. But, please read on. They are not who you think they are.
- Starting with the 2005-2006 school year, the student must have attended a Maryland secondary school for at least three years. In other words, the students involved have not recently hopped the border and flocked to Maryland. They have lived in our community for a number of years.
- Starting with 2007-2008, the student must have graduated from a Maryland high school or received an equivalency diploma. In other words, the individual graduated high school. These students are not high school drop-outs looking for a place to hang out and waste money.
- Provide documentation that the individual or the individual's parent or legal guardian has filed a Maryland income tax return annually for the three years while the individual attended a high school in the State, during any period between high school graduation and registration at a community college, and during the period of attendance at the community college.
- Register at a community college within four years of high school graduation.
So, we have high school graduates (it is illegal to deny public education to undocumented individuals), whose parents pay taxes. Yes, that is correct. We are extending a benefit to taxpayers. While these people may be undocumented, they are earning money, and they are paying taxes. The benefit being extended still requires a substantial contribution from the individual or their family. Therefore, if a student is taking advantage of SB-167, money is being earned, taxes paid, and proof of tax filing must be provided.
So, what else is in the bill? Let's quote from the Fiscal and Policy Note:
An individual who qualifies for an exemption and is not a permanent resident must also provide an affidavit stating that the individual will file an application to become a permanent resident within 30 days after becoming eligible to do so. In addition, an individual who qualifies for an exemption and is required to register with the Selective Service System must provide documentation of the required registration.
So, the student must take steps to obtain legal status, and do so as soon as possible. Additionally, the student must register for the draft and be prepared to defend our country.
Another interesting component to the bill is that a student must obtain a 2 year degree at a community college prior to moving to a four-year degree granting institution. This has several effects. It limits the overall cost for the education since community college tuition is cheaper. Additionally, should the student prove to be unable to obtain a degree, and fail do so within the first two years, the loss is minimized. Fewer slots at four-year degree schools are occupied, limiting the impact of this bill on documented individuals.
The tuition at the community college is subsidized by the state at the in-county rate, and is subject to the rules stated above. The precise impact to the institutions involved is analyzed in the Fiscal and Policy Note mentioned at the top of this post. The details are complex, so it is best to consult the document directly. The bill does have a provision that the number of students admitted must be reported to the state on an annual basis. Therefore, the impact can be tracked and the bill adjusted if needed via future legislature changes.
So, to sum up: Who are these people: Taxpayers who have lived here for some time, whose children have demonstrated a desire for education, are able to afford in-state tuition, and the students are willing to take the steps needed to become documented.
There are some downsides, of course. The specifics vary by institution and type of institution (community vs. four-year).
Clearly there is a cost to the state, and for some institutions, a possible revenue loss unless adjustments are made. Most institutions have enough leeway to handle any potential losses. A few could experience lower income.
The question is: is educating and embracing this group of undocumented individuals who lie outside the post-secondary educational system worth the cost? The trivial talking points of calling these people "criminals who suck up our tax dollars and that should be deported" is just that: trivial talking points made by short-sighted individuals looking to make a political point at the expense of educating potential future citizens.

I finally got around to reading A Princess of Mars a few months ago - excellent read by the way- but I had a great deal of trouble envisioning the Martian peoples and fauna. I had to read and reread and rereread the descriptions. I know I could have just googled it and gone on, but I hate to do that.
No offense to Mr. Elmore, but my mental image of Kitiara is way better than his paintings. Kit Harrington is quite a handsome fellow and an excellent actor, but I still prefer the Jon Snow of my imagination. Mental constructs simply have more life and personal investment in them. (The later may be the most pertinent difference.)
Usually, I don't show pictures to players when I'm GMing something. I want them each to build the scene in their minds' eyes. This fuels character immersion, and besides, what they imagine will always be more individually engaging that anything an artist can create. (And waaaayyy better than my doodles.)
|CosmiCat has no Concern
for Your Petty Human Ways
However, there's a certain break-over point where things are so alien that illustrations are pretty much necessary. (For instance, I google image searched to help me make sense of the Elder Things while reading At the Mountains of Madness.)
It's the mark of an amazing author to perfectly describe the truly strange succinctly. (Honestly, I think Lovecraft put enough in there to visualize the Elder Things, I just didn't have enough in the way of metal energy to puzzle them out at the time.)
When designing your own abominations or aliens or whatever, you can use something more real world or every day as the basis and then pile on the strange. This may help your eventual audience (whether your players or somebody else's) to visualize what you're getting at. Of course that's inherently limiting... so yah.
I suppose it all comes down to this creative balance prevalent in genre fiction* - the opposite pull between innovation and comprehensibility. It's also a matter of supremely personal taste.
In lieu of a conclusion (because I don't really have one), here are some discussion questions:
How weird is too weird, for you and your games?
Do you want lots of illustrations for your gaming stuff or more words?
Have illustrations ever "ruined" something for you?
*RPGs are almost universally emulative of genre fiction

200 issues of Beneath Ceaseless Skies!
I have published in a variety of speculative genres: science fiction, magic realism, surrealism, slipstream, horror, and even dubiously a bit of memoir which might or might not be speculative. But secondary world fantasy, and epic fantasy in particular, remains my favorite genre – the genre that sustains me, the genre I read, the genre I came here to write. In the best epic fantasy writing, things I love the most can converge: multi-faceted characters, cultures in conflict and contact, anthropological depth, social commentary, mythic grandeur, politics, folklore, otherworldly creatures, fascinating artifacts, a deep sense of history and learning, and of course: magic. It might not be fashionable to admit this, but I am a sucker for well-done stories with magic. If you are reading this, you may be familiar with my secondary world, Birdverse; you'll find most of my favorite things in there.
If you love all those things too, you might consider supporting Beneath Ceaseless Skies, an online magazine of secondary world fantasy literature that has just – as in today – BCS 200th issue. I consider BCS to be one of the best, if not the best, sources for fresh epic fantasy in the field.
200 issues is a lot. BCS began publishing in 2008, which, accidentally, was also the first year anything of mine was published (though not in BCS!). The editor Scott Andrews rejected many of my stories before he accepted, after a rewrite request, "Held Close in Syllables of Light" – my first published Birdverse story, the first of my prose (not poetry) publications with queer protagonists, and my second professional sale. It meant the world to me to have a story with three queer teens accepted at a professional venue after so many discouraging remarks about the marketability of specifically queer work. That was 2011; publishing is different now, and we are richer for it, but Scott was one of the early adopters, so to speak, and for that I will always be grateful. Since then, Scott has published two more Birdverse novelettes of mine, "Geometries of Belonging" (almost a novella!) and the Nebula-nominated "Grandmother-nai-Leylit's Cloth of Winds."
BCS is an excellent source of epic fantasy reading in shorter form and a way to sample works by such contemporary greats and up and coming writers as Aliette De Bodard, Yoon Ha Lee, Fran Wilde, Saladin Ahmed, Ann Leckie, Tom Crosshill, Cory Skerry, Naim Kabir, Ken Schneyer, and many brilliant others (here is the full list of BCS authors and their work!). Scott's tastes are varied, and I appreciate his commitment to stories which are both character-centered and world-centered – just some of my favorite things.
Beneath Ceaseless Skies team is running a subscription drive to increase the wordcount limit of the work they take. This is really important, considering how few professional markets take stories over 10k. I have a weakness for longer short fiction and feel that epic fantasy works especially well at novelette length; I hope you will consider supporting this publication and the genre to which it is dedicated.

This guy lost his first tooth and that reminded me I have a blog.
Things have been super busy since I started taking art & weaving classes last fall. Mostly I'm trying to balance getting stuff done with spending these last preschool months with Kenneth. Field trips, work days at school, doing things after school. Next year the school days will be long and we won't be able to take days off for road trips.
I guess I will take a little trip back in time. You can click on the fascinating photos for a bigger view.
My birthday passed uneventfully, I didn't go to Stitches this year because classes conflicted with school. I did attend a kid's pirate party and took the opportunity to make pirate hats. They let me do the final smash of the pinata since it was my actual birthday.
Valentine's Day was crazy around here. Flowers, cake, heart-shaped cupcake cake, candy.
Around New Year's Kenneth and I went up to Oregon with the folks. Stopped at safari park.
The trip culminated in Portland, where we spent a freezing afternoon at the zoo in order to be the first ones on the holiday light train. This was deemed the best non-operable tractor ever.
Spent that night, New Year's Eve, in a funky motel with sister A, asleep by 11:00. Kenneth and I took the train home, we rushed to Twisted on the way to the station. K. had to have rainbow Zauberball so I knit him a sock monkey. He made all the color decisions.
I joined 12 pounds of spinning in 2012. Got 16 oz done in January and none in February. I had brought some local alpaca back from Oregon and the husband asked what it was going to become, perhaps a warm hat? So I spun it and knit him a hat for his birthday. He will not wear it because it is "too nice".
Here is the table runner I wove for my Fall final project. Scandinavian inspired.
I also did a lot of pieces for Color Theory, mostly in acrylics. Here's my final project, quilted.
Christmas was pleasant, but busy. I ended up sending New Year's cards.
Mid-December the guys went out of town for 48 hours. It was heavenly. I went to church. I ate hors d'oeuvres for dinner two nights in a row.
I did great at our annual stash exchange and gave up much more than I brought home.
We had a bit of a redneck Thanksgiving in Lakeport. A bunch of in-laws came, it was fun. I wish I could show the video of Kenneth riding his bike in his underwear on the deck. Instead here is a sunrise.
At Harvest time I knit a bunch of candy corn hats.
We made an R2D2 costume for Halloween. Kenneth had the great idea of taking the talking part of his R2D2 Trouble game, attaching it to his costume, and using it as his "voice". I knit and felted an awesome witch's hat. I was trying for friendly witch but a little girl out trick-or-treating was scared of me and had to cross the street.
Kenneth was obsessed with pom-pom yarn so I finally let him get some. He designed hats for his baby doll and himself.
In September we went to the California Wool & Fiber show. I bought a California Variegated Mutant fleece. For your pleasure here is an attempt at using the timer to get a family photo.
We actually had a great time camping out. Sadly Hendy Woods is on the State Parks closure list so I don't know if we will get to go this year.
If you have read this far you really love me, and are probably the kind of person who would visit a:
There is so much more going on. Knitting, weaving, amazing kid feats.

Continuity-SPS (Standby Power Supply) is a fl exible standby power supply status monitoring solution. Based on HMS and DOCSIS standards, Continuity supports any standards-based transponder, providing cable operators with a centralized, feature-rich, web-enabled tool to monitor all the standby
power supplies in their network.
Continuity-SPS Sofware
Enterprise-Class, Web-Enabled, and Standard-Based Continuity-SPS (Standby Power Supply) is a fl exible, standby power supply status monitoring solution. Based on HMS and DOCSIS standards, Continuity-SPS supports any standards-based transponder, providing cable operators with an enterprise-class, centralized, feature-rich, web-enabled tool to monitor all the standby power supplies in their network.
Centralized Transponder Provisioning and Inventory
With Continuity-SPS you can automatically discover and provision all of your transponders from one central location using easy-to-defi ne alert settings. Continuity-SPS also includes an up-to-date inventory of all your transponders that you can print and export into Excel or CSV.
Scheduled Standby Tests Allow for Preventive Maintenance
Continuity-SPS allows you to proactively schedule standby tests which will alarm on risk areas on the network. A dashboard graphically updates individual battery voltages from standby tests every minute, making it easy to identify questionable batteries. These batteries can be replaced during scheduled maintenance visits before they turn the next standby event into an outage.
Standby Event Dashboard
Continuity-SPS shows all current, standby events in an easy-to-read dashboard. For each event, the standby event dashboard displays summaries of past standby events and shows real-time battery voltages. The standby event dashboard provides a powerful view into the network during a power outage.
Alarm Notifi cation
Continuity-SPS generates alarms for a confi gurable set of warnings and/or alerts according to rules defi ned by the operator. Real-time alert notifi cation and acknowledgement helps the operator to reduce downtime
due to power failures by facilitating a rapid and accurate response to problems. Alert notifi cation can be confi gured to contact scheduled support staff via email and/or text message when an alert condition arises.
Integrating with other systems
Continuity-SPS can send traps to other Network Monitoring Systems when an alarm is created, acknowledged, and closed. For example, critical alarms can be forwarded to the NMS at a centralized Network Operations Center.
Powerful Visualization and Reporting Continuity-SPS shows power supplies in different views: as a tree structure that represents your network layout; grouped by status (such as "Alert" or "Offl ine"); and on a map (using address or latitude and longitude to determine the location). Power Supplies are always color-coded based on their status ("Warning" or "Standby"), helping the user navigate Continuity-SPS easily and draw conclusions quickly (such as identifying a widespread outage by observing a cluster of offl ine power supplies on the map). Continuity-SPS also provides fl exible reporting for the status of power supplies, alarms, and standby tests.
Easy to Deploy
Cable operators can access Continuity-SPS from any web browser. The application is delivered as an appliance that includes server, database, and Continuity-SPS software for installation in their own data center.

PD-1 blockers could promote immune response in Alzheimer's disease
A recent animal study in Nature Medicine has highlighted the potential efficacy of an immune system-activating cancer medication to improve memory and cognitive ability in Alzheimer's disease and potentially other neurodegenerative diseases. The study also indicates possibilities for the reduction of key disease-related pathology such as amyloid plaques.
The study, carried out on mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, suggests immune-checkpoint blockade as a mechanism for therapy. Specifically, the research team based at the Weizmann Institute of Science (Rehovot, Israel) treated mice with Programmed death-1 (PD-1) blockers, recently approved for use in cancer by the US-FDA, that target the PD-1 immune-checkpoint pathway.
Mice treated twice with PD-1 blockers over three days exhibited improved memory performance and reduced amyloid plaques, as well as a reduction in neuroinflammation one month following treatment in comparison to mice that received either a placebo or no treatment at all.
In mice that received two treatment sessions of three days over two consecutive months an even more notable improvement in learning, memory and pathology was identified.
The team led by Michal Schwartz (Weizmann Institute of Science) believe that PD-1 blockers may help to promote the recruitment of immune cells into the brain through an interferon-γ–dependent systemic immune response, consequently impacting the removal of amyloid plaques and the improvement in cognitive ability.
Dr Doug Brown (Alzheimer's Society) commented: "It's early days yet, but this study in mice gives us an indication that activating certain immune cells could be a potential way to clear the toxic build-ups of amyloid, one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease."
