unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

NEW YORK — Tate Stevens, who was mentored by music exec L.A. Reid on the second season of "The X Factor," has won the Fox singing competition.
The 37-year-old country singer from Missouri beat runner-up Carly Rose Sonenclar, a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Westchester, New York, and teenage girl group Fifth Harmony on the finale that aired live Thursday night.
Stevens wins a $5 million recording contract.
More than 35 million votes were cast by viewers after Wednesday's performance show.
Besides Reid, judges this season included Demi Lovato, Britney Spears and British series creator Simon Cowell.
Thursday's show was also the grand finale for Reid. Earlier this month, he said he wouldn't be returning to "The X Factor" next year. No replacement has been announced.

Brand New Hosting Listings Page
Hi everyone! As per our announcement on Envato Notes, we've just launched a brand new, dedicated Hosting Services page to provide more hosting options to all our community. This will replace the existing "Get Hosting" button we previously integrated into the Downloads page. Please read the full announcement for more details but we welcome any feedback in this thread. Please note that specific feedback about hosting companies should be shared via our dedicated suggestions form, not directly in our forum thread here. Thank you for your co-operation!
What value does this bring to the community?
Each and every theme and template purchased from ThemeForest needs to be hosted. So, it goes without saying that hosting is an essential part of the Internet. We feel that giving you more information on the hosting providers and having multiple companies compete for your attention will allow you to have a better experience in an industry that at times, can be tough to navigate. Offering a wider selection of hosting options will also introduce savings, discounts and deals to further benefit our community members. And while it may not look like it now, we are also exploring how we can incorporate your reviews and/or ratings for each hosting provider to help further improve the page into a go-to resource for accurate reviews and opinions for each hosting provider. Finally, for authors, we hope that this page will demonstrate to hosting providers the value of partnering with us, and hopefully that will lead to new and exciting revenue opportunities for you.

WillHerring saidAn increase of 30% is not 3 times more, which would be an increase of 300%
reported an increase of at least 30% in sales
Hi Ruben,
You're right, 30% doesn't mean 300%. The CEO's #'s included authors outside of Themeforest. After his claim we went through the data for all of our WordPress files and found numbers specific to Themeforest. Themeforest specific increase is on average 3x. This is probably due to to our large international audience. Sorry for not clarifying.
Thanks, Will

Having a theme/plugin published is mandatory to sign up on that developer training?
You're not required to have a theme/plugin to sign up for the developer training.
Cubell said
Or if you look at a different way, if a theme has multiple languages included, that may simply imply that the author made a bigger effort than one who made a theme without extra languages. In other words, if you include languages, you probably included other cool features too + worked on the site longer, which would ultimately = more sales. Sometimes correlation does not imply causation.
I originally attributed this to effort. But during a conversation with the CEO of iCanLocalize, he informed me that developers of themes that had become WPML-compatible reported an increase of at least 30% in sales. The increase came after they added Multilingual support. Thanks for the feedback.
codenegar said
I'm not really good at WP Multilingual. Does tutsplus have a tutorial about this?
WPML will be doing a free developer training. The links are in my post .

Do you even know where your soffit vents are located?
Do you even know where your soffit vents are located?
Bill and Kevin Burnett
Inman News®
It's hard to believe fall is already here. That means it's time to make an inspection of your house for any hidden defects that might morph into major problems.
An ounce of prevention early on can stave off major repair bills later. Here's our list of must-do inspection items before the temperature drops and the rain falls.
1. Check the roof. Clean out the gutters and take note of any missing shingles. Pay special attention to split wood shingles or bare patches on asphalt shingles. Such damage indicates the roof is on its last legs and is due for replacement. Make sure everything is sealed and tight around the chimney and vents. If you have a problem with algae and fungus on wood shakes and asphalt shingles, control it by installing zinc control strips.
2. Poke your head in the attic. Be on the lookout for water stains or mold. Water stains may indicate a leaky roof or inadequate ventilation. Mold is caused by condensation resulting from inadequate air flow. Make sure soffit vents are unobstructed by insulation to ensure proper ventilation in the attic.
3. Keep things tight. Inspect caulking and weatherstripping around doors and windows. Re-caulk and weather strip as needed.
4. Fireplace fitness: The National Fire Protection Agency recommends that you have your fireplace and chimney inspected every year although we believe light users can get by with every two years. At the very least, make sure your chimney is capped, and check for bird's nests or other obstructions.
5. Check the grade at the foundation. There should be at least six inches from the ground to the bottom of the siding, and the ground should slope away from the foundation. Cut back any shrubs away from the side of the house to prevent moisture retention, the cause of mold or dry rot. Make sure all downspouts direct water at least 10 feet from the foundation.
6. Be safe. Test all smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
7. Laundry room. A dysfunctional washer and dryer can lead to water damage, energy waste and a possible fire. Exchange rubber supply hoses for stainless steel to prevent bursting. Empty the lint trap in the dryer regularly (a good practice any time of year). Disconnect the dryer vent line and look at the vent pipe outlet to make sure there are no obstructions.
8. Electrical system. Electric systems in your home can cause a major fire disaster and possible electrocution. In order to prevent electrical fires, make sure light bulbs are completely screwed in and flip the circuit breaker at least once a year to prevent corrosion. Also test all GFCI receptacles (plugs that have a built-in circuit breaker) to make sure they are operating properly.
9. HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning). Have the system inspected by a professional annually to maintain the warranty on the system. If you don't keep up regular maintenance with your heating and cooling system, mold can grow in your house, it can cause a fire, and the performance will be inefficient leading to higher energy costs. Replace filters once at least every six months. Drain the water heater annually.
Here's wishing you a cozy, safe fall and winter.

Relevance is what your customers want. Here's what it is and how to deliver it.
You hear the word all the time. Do you know what it means and how to make it work for you? You experience it every day. You make decisions based on it. Do you implement relevance when trying to get prospects to take action?
"Bring me what I want, when I want it," is what the customer feels. That's why search engines strive to be the most relevant. Relevance is what delights their customers. Why is it most Web sites don't recognize and exploit that need?
What is relevance? "The American Heritage Dictionary" provides three definitions:1. Pertinence to the matter at hand. 2. Applicability to social issues: a governmental policy lacking relevance. 3. Computer Science The capability of a search engine or function to retrieve data appropriate to a user's needs.
I like number three. Relevance is a measure of how closely search results match the search request. Relevance is the single most significant factor in getting your prospects to take action.
Why is relevance such an important concept for Internet marketing? The value lies in understanding your prospects and how they reach buying decisions (search engines are often a tool for this).
To successfully get your prospects to take action, you must see the world from their buying point of view. Though you maintain a sales perspective, you conduct your sales process so it's in tune with how customers decide to buy.
Each of us engages in the buying process numerous times every day, whether buying a can of soda or making a more complex decision, such as purchasing a new car. Whenever a customer makes a buying decision, it represents the culmination of a process. It may take place almost instantaneously or stretch out over a long period. Regardless, it's a process -- not an event.
No matter how long the process takes, the buying decision always begins when the customer becomes aware of a need or problem. Once the need is identified, she explores avenues for meeting the need. This is the important part: the search for a perceived relevant solution to her need. While gathering information, the customer refines the buying criteria that affect the purchase decision. She then narrows the choices to the best few based on ability to provide value, grab attention, stir interest, and motivate desire. Finally, the customer chooses from the best and takes action.
The information architecture of your Web site must recognize every step of the consumer buying process. Each step feeds and leads to the next to create sales momentum. Although the sales process is ultimately linear, there are often feedback loops within the process as a customer reevaluates information. It's not unusual to address two, three, or even all five steps on a single page. Think of the process as operating simultaneously on a micro level (the individual page) and a macro level (the overall buying and selling experience). Always acknowledge and address the needs of the buying process at both levels.
How do we address these issues on both levels? A tool from the world of offline sales is just as powerful online -- perhaps more so. It's known as "AIDA": attention, interest, desire, and action. We apply it as "AIDAS" (satisfaction).
Every successful professional sale incorporates these elements at every step. They drive the process of turning visitors into buyers. Apply the AIDAS test to your home or landing page:
Once you've tested for AIDAS on your home and landing pages, test every other page on your site. When you've fully implemented AIDAS on the micro level of the page, step back and test whether AIDAS is working for you on a macro level. Are visitors moving comfortably from your home or landing page through the entire site to and through the checkout page?
Relevance is what they want. Provide it at every step toward conversion.

Potential Gains from Mergers in Local Public Transport: An Efficiency Analysis Applied to Germany
AbstractWe analyze potential gains from hypothetical mergers in local public transport using the non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis with bias corrections by means of bootstrapping. Our sample consists of 41 public transport companies from Germany's most densely populated region, North Rhine-Westphalia. We merge them into geographically meaningful, larger units that operate partially on a joint tram network. Merger gains are then decomposed into individual technical efficiency, synergy and size effects following the methodology of Bogetoft and Wang [Bogetoft, P., Wang, D., 2005. Estimating the Potential Gains from Mergers. Journal of Productivity Analysis, 23(2), 145-171]. Our empirical findings suggest that substantial gains up to 16 percent of factor inputs are present, mainly resulting from synergy effects.

Rochdale mill fire still burning
Firefighters will remain on the scene of a large derelict mill fire in Rochdale overnight.
The fire at the former Turner Industrial Products site in Rooley Moor Road is still burning almost 24 hours after it started but it is under control.
– Station Manager Mark Turner, Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue
"The bulk of the fire has been extinguished but there are small parts of the building that are proving difficult for firefighters to access safely.
"This is because the roof has collapsed in some places and one gable end is in an unstable condition and dangerous."

At Delight Beauty and Day Spa, aestheticians strive to give patients a retreat from everyday stressors. They stock the waiting room with complimentary beverages and snacks, and while new clients wait, they fill out a form that helps tailor services to their skin and body issues. The spa's private rooms are as quiet and tranquil as a mouse in a library. Clients lie on crisp linens while aestheticians explain their treatments, from facials targeted to skin type to massages that aim to simply relax, reduce chronic muscle aches, or assuage the discomfort of pregnancy. If they are interested, clients can also have staffers inform them about the latest beauty services, such as eyelash extensions or permanent makeup. The team is so experienced in the latter, they train future techs onsite.
Armed with current techniques for properly maintaining noggin lawns, Regis Salon's network of stores keeps clients' hair in order as dictated by the latest trends. Within this caravan of hair bazaars, customers' wild manes are tamed by skillful stylists; use your Groupon toward a shampoo, cut, and blow-dry, and lean back and dream of breakdancing Stay Puft Marshmallow Men as a stylist carefully cleanses hair with shampoo and conditioner and then clips it into stylish head hedges that beautifully complement scalp-garden pathways. Afterward, the hair that's left behind will receive a loving blow-dry for a style that gleams and glitters like a ruby-encrusted bowling ball. During the treatment, stylists offer helpful tips and tricks to help clients care for hair at home. If a shampoo and cut isn't your cup of sports drink, put your Groupon toward the cost of another service, such as hair coloring (starting at $52), highlights (starting at $75), or a perm (starting at $75).
The staff members at Anaya Skin Care have a big job to take on—the body's biggest, in fact. They tend to its largest organ with facials and body scrubs that cleanse pores and remove dead cells to reveal youthful, soft skin. During waxing services, they unveil even more skin by removing unwanted hair from the root. Spray-tanning services darken complexions for a sun-kissed glow during months when the sun is on vacation in the Oort cloud. Meanwhile, permanent-makeup services enhance facial features by lining eyes, filling in brows, and creating full lips.
Brandi Nuttall, the owner of Dolce Salon & Spa, must believe that you can never have too much of a good thing. Expanding upon her first and second Dolce locations, which measure in at 12,000 and 13,000 square feet, respectively, she opened the third hub in 2007, and now there is a fourth. The 30,000-square-foot behemoth built in 2007 houses 62 styling stations, 21 spa rooms, 14 pedicure thrones, a makeup counter, a brow bar, and manicure stations. All four locations boast the same services?though at different scales?as well as men?s hair and spa treatments and bridal styling. Unlike hotels that charge extra for doorknobs and oxygen, the salons have a generous streak. They provide hairstyling services to those who donate to Locks of Love, spa services to local foster children, and hair clippings to areas affected by oil spills.
At Tan Factory, patrons slip from standup Saturn tanning beds or lie-down units, their skin warm and bronzed. The UVA-based high-pressure beds leave bodies with golden hues, and red-light-therapy beds hum as they generously spread a glow to stimulate collagen-producing fibroblasts during 15-minute sessions. As the light penetrates epidermal layers, it activates the body?s natural processes to reduce the appearance of fine lines, blemishes, and scars, restoring youthful sleekness and an ability to make convincing shadow puppets of dolphins. Those seeking to augment skin with sunless color step into a Mystic Tan or VersaSpa Spray booth and emerge 60 seconds later with fully toasted coats that last up to eight days.
Inside Devine's Salon Spa, clients aren't greeted with the thick chemical odor of formaldehyde, ammonia, or some laboratory's version of lavender. What they do smell are natural, aromatic botanicals wafting from a line of Aveda products. The team of stylists and aestheticians utilize these products throughout their full menu of men's and women's haircuts, facials, and body treatments, including complementary Aveda sensory rituals designed to put stressed minds and bodies at ease. And since Aveda products are manufactured with environmentally friendly wind power, it's not unusual for guests to emerge from Devine's looking and feeling beautified, and greeted with a hug from a tree.

A new resource will help business and app developers better inform users of their rights under Privacy Act.
The Privacy Commissioner John Edwards has just released the 'Need to Know or Nice to Have' guideline, which will help developers understand obligations under the Privacy Act when collecting personal information.
Although apps can gather large amounts of information about their users, they do not explain clearly what information they collect and for what purpose, said Mr Edwards.
The Privacy Commissioner's Office joined 27 overseas privacy authorities from the Global Enforcement Network (GPEN) in carrying out a survey of commonly used apps in May.
As well as international apps, New Zealand apps were also surveyed.
Results showed only 50 per cent had a link to their privacy policies available on the marketplace listing, and once installed on the device 64 per cent did not have a link to the privacy policy within the app itself.
Mr Edwards said results show not enough information was being provided to users about how an app accesses and uses their personal information.
Results from the survey were still being compiled, but current results showed not enough information was being provided to users about how an app accesses and uses their personal information, said Mr Edwards.
"While consumers may assume that established, trusted businesses will develop trustworthy apps, this is not necessarily the case.
"It is important that agencies, businesses and app developers know that it is unlawful to collect more information than is necessary. It is also important that consumers are informed about the permissions they agree to when they download an app."
'We just hope that we can trust them'
One app user was worried after downloading the Lotto NZ app to find it asked for access her camera at any time without permission.
Suzi Heke said she was concerned this gave Lotto the ability to use her camera, and take her photo without her permission.
But Lotto New Zealand said the function only allowed the app to use the camera to scan a ticket barcode and check whether it was a winner.
After speaking to Lotto, Ms Heke said this was acceptable, but was concerned it wasn't better explained on installation.
"I suppose technology is moving so fast, any laws about privacy and protection of data are always going to be out of date," she said.
"In the interim, we just hope that we can trust these organisations."
Lotto New Zealand spokeswoman Emilia Mazur said its policy was not to gather any personal information through apps, and camera access was only used to scan ticket barcodes.
Although not aware of the Commissioner's new guidelines, Lotto had legal help and considered advice from the privacy commission when developing the app, she said.
The app allows users to scan tickets and locate stores, and has a direct link to their privacy policy.

Now that you have followed all the directions for doing your "due diligence" making sure your Internet banking company is legitimate, let's look at the advantages:
Two new laws dealing with the use of wireless telephones while driving go into effect July 1.
When an IRA owner dies, a designated beneficiary, who is an individual, can establish an inherited IRA and start taking required minimum distributions (RMDs) over the beneficiary's own life expectancy. By spreading out the death benefit, a beneficiary can reduce current income tax liability by not taking a lump-sum distribution and will enjoy continued tax deferral on the asset s remaining in the inherited IRA.
Are you thinking of buying business equipment this year? If so, you'll be happy to know the Economic
I grew up watching John Madden coach the Oakland Raiders. In an era when most NFL teams had thick binders filled with rules and associated penalties for players, Madden went the other way.
It seems that we've all gotten so busy that "clicks to bricks" (what Internet banking is called) has become the way to go. There are many entrepreneurs who are still a bit skeptical about it, so I decided that I'd give you the scoop.
It is always a good time to keep an eye on costs in an organization. Financial reporting is a great way to look back on what happened; it is more important to look forward to see what can be proactively addressed.
Imagine if your kids go to the bank to get their inheritance after you die, and the bank won't give them the money unless they go to court for months and spend thousands of dollars in probate fees. Imagine if you give all your money to your spouse after you die, but then the government steps in and takes a huge chunk of your assets that were intended for your heirs.
More and more present and future retirees are finding that the traditional idea of retirement is passé. What's more, there's plenty of evidence that keeping your hand in the game, or even finding a new calling, will yield a longer, healthier and happier latter stage of your life. And given rising health care costs, that adult child who suddenly has returned home or the aging parent who needs care, working a little longer may well be as much a need as a want.
Banks are in the business of making money, and most banks are profitable, extremely so. Peter Ueberroth, the head of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, started a bank because he said something to the effect of "Šif you get the business model set up correctly, it becomes a money-making machines"
With the weakening of home prices and lenders tightening credit, an increasing number of Americans are borrowing money from their retirement plans. A Duke University Magazine survey found in December that nearly 20 percent of companies have seen increased hardship withdrawals and loans from 401(k) accounts, often to cover mortgage payments or to avoid personal bankruptcy.
One of the most depressing moments I had during this tax season (of which I had several) was having to tell a retired lady that she owed close to $40,000 in taxes when she thought she was going to get a refund. The culprit that caused this unfortunate surprise involved the sale of her primary residence. Here is her sad story.
It's finally over. Sixty-five teams playing 64 games and scoring 8,853 points between them. It's official, the University of Kansas is the NCAA basketball champion, coming from behind in regulation play to force the game with Memphis State into overtime.
Today, Social Security covers about 163 million workers with 49 million people receiving benefits. Many people think that Social Security contributions are held in interest-bearing accounts to be used for their
What happens to your pet if you become incapacitated or die? We have seen many beloved pets abandoned or taken to the animal shelter because an owner has failed to include provisions for the care of their animals in their estate planning documents.
Now that I have your interest, I'll try to let you down gently.
Last week marked the end of the first half of the calendar year. It seems like January was just last week.
Starting or growing a family can be an exciting milestone in one's life. But as most experienced parents will tell you, your priorities are likely to change, and along with these changes come new expenses and responsibilities,
Being a trusted advisor is a place of honor. When you reach a certain stage in life, you are compensated not for what you do but for what you know.
With student loan debt nationwide at an estimated $1.2 trillion, homeownership for many recent and past graduates is a distant dream.
Throughout the years at the Advisory Board meetings I facilitate, I've heard a fair amount of laughter and grumbling from the business people who participate.
Jim, president of the top local IT company, came by the other day. He was not happy. He'd just been served with a complaint, alleging that he'd breached a new employee's contract, had wrongfully terminated her, and was guilty of breach of promissory estoppel (whatever that is?).
The bottom line, the profitability of a company, should matter to every employee but many owners tend to keep this information private. Owners then complain when profits are thin.
Even in a state with hundreds of miles of beautiful, sandy beaches, luxury home buyers in California preferred hilltop homes over ocean-front properties by a margin of four to one.

But if you are asking would we allow them? No. They were perfect for their parade, but not ours.

That's what is particularly noteworthy about the 'Raging Grannies': they were NOT carrying ANY sings (those things you see in their hands are sheet music). Yet at our 7/4 Parade, they want to carry anti-war signs.

I think the Parade Committee does best to adopt: A celebration to honor the country's Independence and the service of police, firemen and veterans and explicitly not for the purpose of "protest" for or against any cause; one sign per group with the group's name.

But of course, that's up to the Parade Committee.

By the by, my first comment was a little tongue in cheek to infer the implication not intended but somewhat funny when considered.

So the sincere $64,000 question is: which political displays and signs in the Northampton parade did you think would be considered "offensive", under that word's definition in the rules of the Parade Committee? For example, did the Raging Grannies carry any signs in this parade that you would consider "offensive" for the 7/4 parade in Amherst?

I think there's an unease with Men in Uniforms and parades with Lots of American Flags. So the default liberal knee-jerk reaction kicks in-- which is to write a letter to the editor and go hold a sign.

Oh, and just to be an equal-opportunity troll: At least the default liberal knee-jerk reaction is better than the default conservative knee-jerk reaction, which is to go and bomb the hell out of somebody in another country...

Seriously: I the uniforms and flags in the 4th of July parade are seen as more threatening to people here in Amherst than the half-naked body-painted people in the gay pride parade.

Illinois provides families with limited school choice options.
Illinois offers limited choice within the public school system. The Education Commission of the States reports that Illinois has enacted intra-district open enrollment: "With certain restrictions, this statute allows the transfer of a student from one attendance center to another within the school district upon the request of the student's parent or guardian."
Since 2000, Illinois has offered a tax credit of 25% of average per-pupil expenditure to cover educational expenses, including private school tuition. The maximum credit is $500. More than 270,000 students benefited as a result of this tax credit in 2010.
The Center for Education Reform reports that Illinois' charter school law is weak because there is a lack of adequate funding, a cap on the maximum number of charter schools that the state can authorize, and only local boards are permitted to approve charters. However, attendance at these charter schools is high. As of 2013, the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools reports that approximately 57,000 students are attending the state's 58 charter schools.
According to the Keeping Pace with K-12 Online Learning report, Illinois has a state-led program as well as virtual charter schools and district-level programs. The state-led Illinois Virtual School(IVS) offers supplemental courses and had 2,994 course enrollments in the 2012-2013 school year, a 7 percent increase over the previous year. The Chicago Virtual School (CVCS) offers a full-time online program, although students must meet in class once a week. As of 2011, the Cambridge Academy also received approval to begin operating a full-time, statewide online program for students. There are two district online programs in Chicago, the Virtual Opportunities Inside a School Environment Academy (VOISE) and the Youth Connection Charter School, which reported 120 enrollments in the 2010-2011 school year.

It's the new world order...
I would be worried, but I have nothing to fear as I do all my illegal online activity by proxy. And by proxy I have no idea what I mean. But that should throw those interpole idiots off for a while while I make my way to the Bahamas with all he money I raked in while working here. All $1.39 of it. And when I say "raked in" I mean dropped behind the cushions of the couch.
The interpol logo that was here didn't have OIPC / ICPO in the logo.
It had PUCI / ICUP. I see you pee! lolfart.
You guys are so trollable.
We so excited, we so excited!
