The rapper was honored for being a staunch education advocate. "I remember being kicked out of a public school because I didn't have the right address," Pitbull said during the presentation. "That's why I want better schools for the kids who live where I grew up. That's why Doral Academy was founded, and that's why I helped create SLAM — it stands for Sports Leadership And Management — in the neighborhood where I grew up." Say what you like about him but the "Timber" hitmaker keeps on winning. See his hilarious social media updates after the jump.

The best time around life is when my wife started fucking black men. Watching it beautiful big black cock disappear my wife's pussy drove me absolutely nuts, just listing to her telling him to give her more was very exciting.
Every time after that she had a black man in the bedroom it was just like the first time extremely exciting to watch listen to her telling him to fuck her harder. Nothing in the world more exciting to watch your wife making the black male population very happy including some of my black coworkers

1) Bringing back the partnership investment bank will naturally restrain excessive risk taking. Consider other partnership organizations, how many large legal and accounting firms have failed so badly that they threatened the system?
2) Second, bringing back the partnership IB doesn't solve the AIG problem. Listing OTC derivatives will bring more transparency, which will allow the market to better police the players.

In reply to that comment, consider the following scenario:
A guerrilla sympathizer finds out that government troops are about to raid the town where he is living. The sympathizer then runs around the town to rally the other fighters to assemble and confront the government troops. Remember that these guerrillas don't wear uniforms and melt into the population. In a conventional war, captured non-uniformed combatants are regarded as spies and not accorded the niceties of the Geneva Convention.
Would that sympathizer be labelled a terrorist? If he is a terrorist, would you consider the head of his movement to be a terrorist?
Now consider the famous ride of Paul Revere and draw your own conclusions.
One man's patriot is another's terrorist.

ALBUM: Originally a 5-track EP, 'Ye and Hova wondered, "Why stop there?" and decided to deliver a full studio album instead. (It was supposed to drop last fall originally.) Idolator readers voted it the fourth most-anticipated album of this year, right behind Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and Beyonce. West told MTV the album will be "very dark and sexy, like couture hip hop."
RELEASE DATE: According to recent speculation, Watch The Throne is coming at us July 4 — but that seems awfully soon for an album that doesn't even have a lead single out yet. Frankly, we'd be very surprised if they manage to pull this off by Independence Day — but if anyone can make a musical miracle happen, it's these two.
THEIR COLLABORATIVE HISTORY: Naturally, Watch The Throne won't be Yeezy and Jigga's first time in the studio together. They've joined forces on tracks such as "Never Let Me Down," "The Bounce," and most recently, the awesome "Monster." While Jay-Z has made a number of collaborative albums (two with R. Kelly, one with Linkin Park), this will be 'Ye's first.
SINGLES RELEASED SO FAR: We heard "That's My Bitch" last fall. Two months later, the duo carved us off a piece of "H.A.M." (or as it's known in less-polite circles, "Hard As A Motherfucker"), released all the way back in January to not-so-rave reviews. But according to a may-or-may-not-be-accurate track list, both of these have fallen off the face of the earth in favor of a bunch of tunes we haven't yet heard.
ALBUM PRODUCERS: Lex Luger produced "H.A.M." The "Monster" buddies are also said to be collaborating with producers Bruno Mars, Swizz Beatz, No I.D., Pete Rock, and Young Guru, though these are not confirmed yet either. The latest news? Odd Future's Frank Ocean has been brought in to help finish the album (bringing about further speculation that that July 4 deadline is a pipe dream).
GUESTS: Mrs. Jay-Z herself, Beyonce Knowles, will appear on the rumored second single "Lift Off" alongside Bruno Mars. Beyond that, mum's the word thus far.
TRACK LIST: A track list for Watch The Throne has surfaced online, though we're not sure how complete or official it is. For now, it looks like these are the tracks we'll be getting:
1. Lift Off (feat. Beyonce & Bruno Mars)
2. Murder To Excellence
3. Illest Motherfucker Alive
4. Why I Love You So (Guilt Trip)
5. That Shit Crazy
6. Living So Italian
7. Who Gonna Stop Me
8. Whole Lifetime
9. We Are Young
10. Anthem
TOUR PLANS: None announced — but that would be pretty cool, wouldn't it? The pair have made a few appearances together recently, including South By Southwest, a gig at The MOMA, and most recently, the most spoiled teenager in the world's Sweet 16 party at New York's Carlton Hotel on June 11. So you never know where they'll pop up together next. Maybe a bar mitzvah or quinceañera near you!
OUR THOUGHTS: Both rappers have already reached legend status as artists in a way that almost none of their peers could even aspire to, and almost nobody in the business has more clout. But they also have very different strengths and styles to their music — is there room for all that ego on one tiny album? Can they share the throne? Naturally, we're eager to hear what these two have cooked up, and we can only hope it's as good as The Blueprint 3 and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy combined. Swizz Beatz, for one, has said the album is well worth the wait: "There's songs on there that's making you go crazy." Let's hope he's right.

IMPORTANT: After "it wears her/him/me out", just before you switch from the Bm chord to A chord, you lift your first finger from the second fret of the e string, to alter the sound, just like A to Asus4, or D to Dsus2. I don't know what that chord is called, but a wild guess would be Bmsus2. A Asus4 E Her green plastic watering can E Esus4 D For her fake Chinese rubber plant D Dsus2 A Asus4 A In the fake plastic earth. A Asus4 E That she bought from a rubber man E Esus4 D In a town full of rubber plans D Dsus2 A Asus4 A To get rid of itself. Bm Bmsus2 It wears her out, A Asus4 A it wears her out. She lives with a broken man A cracked polystyrene man Who just crumbles and burns. He used to do surgery For girls in the eighties But gravity always wins. And it wears him out, it wears him out. It wears him out, it wears him out. She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My fake plastic love. But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling If I just turn and run. And it wears me out, it wears me out. It wears me out, it wears me out. And if I could be who you wanted If I could be who you wanted All the time, all the time. Oh, oh. Comments

The Last Kiss
Looking up into his eyes The pain momentarily subsides. I can finally see the emotion and passion there, In the end he really did care. Oh what have I done? The pain surges back Reminding me of my decision, A decision I would give anything to take back. By now its to late, I can already feel myself fading. His eyes hold me there for a moment longer. As his lips descend upon mine I drift into oblivion And am lost forever.

Preschool Teachers' Knowledge of Children's Mathematical Development and Beliefs About Teaching Mathematics
Date: December 2013
Creator: Kim, In Hong
Description: Early childhood education emphasizes the need of providing high quality early childhood mathematics programs for preschool children. However, there is little research that examines the importance of preschool children's mathematical knowledge development and teachers' beliefs about how to teach mathematics to young children. The purposes of this study were to investigate pre-service and in-service preschool teachers' knowledge of children's mathematical development and their beliefs about teaching mathematics in the preschool classroom and also to determine how experience differentiates the two groups. This research employed a non-experimental research design with convenient sampling. Ninety-eight pre-service teachers and seventy-seven in-service preschool teachers participated in the research. The Knowledge of Mathematical Development survey (KMD) and the Beliefs survey were used to investigate possible differences between pre-service and in-service preschool teachers' knowledge of children's mathematical development and between their beliefs about teaching mathematics. The findings of this study indicate a statistically significant difference between pre-service teachers and in-service preschool teachers in relation to their knowledge of mathematical development. This finding shows that pre-service teachers' knowledge of children's mathematical development is somewhat limited; most pre-service teachers have difficulty identifying the process of preschool children's development of mathematics skills. A second finding reveals a statistically significant difference ...

Multiple Measures of the Effectiveness of Public School Montessori Education in the Third Grade
Date: May 1994
Creator: Cisneros, Márelou Medrano
Description: The problem of this study was to measure the effectiveness of a public school Montessori program. The purpose of this study was to measure and compare student academic achievement and self-concept, attendance and promotion rates, and level of parental involvement in the schools of students enrolled in public school Montessori and traditional programs. The 95 subjects in this study were third-grade subjects selected from the student populations in Montessori and traditional school sites. The Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) was used as the pre-test scores, and the Norm-referenced Assessment Program for Texas (NAPT) was used as the post-test scores to compare academic achievement in reading and mathematics. Multiple regression was used to compare the levels of academic achievement and self-concept. Multiple regression was also used to test for possible relationship between the Montessori and traditional programs and gender and ethnicity.

Young Children's Construction of Physical Knowledge on Swings in the Outdoor Play Environment
Date: December 1993
Creator: Fox, Jill Englebright
Description: This investigation examined the development of young children's behaviors on swings in the outdoor play environment and their emerging understanding of the physics principles associated with those behaviors. The children's language interactions were also examined in an effort to determine the relationship between language and cognitive development in their construction of physical knowledge. The procedures involved observing the children's behaviors and collecting samples of their spontaneous language interactions during their swinging activities. Informal interviews were also conducted with individual and groups of children. The findings indicate that young children's swinging behaviors develop in eight hierarchical stages. As these behaviors develop, children experiment with the physics principles of balance, gravity, force, resistance, and resonance. Children's swinging behaviors develop in a social context. Many early behaviors are acquired through observing and modeling other children. Language provides the medium for more-experienced peers to assist novice swingers through encouragement and direct instruction. The stage development of swinging behaviors is compared to Cratty's Theory of Perceptual-Motor Development and Harrow's Taxonomy of the Psychomotor Domain. Children's cognitive processing and language interactions are discussed in the context of Piagetian and Vygotskian theories of development. Implications for instruction and suggestions for further research are discussed.

The Relationship of Developmentally Appropriate Beliefs and Practices of Greek Kindergarten Teachers
Date: December 1997
Creator: Syrrakou, Ioanna
Description: Sixty Greek kindergarten teachers were surveyed regarding their teaching beliefs and practices using the Teachers Questionnaire based on guidelines recommended by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. A Varimax factor analysis produced four factors for the Teacher Belief Scale and five factors for the Instructional Activities Scale. Scores on developmentally appropriate factors were consistently higher than factors classified developmentally inappropriate. Correlation between appropriate beliefs and activities was significant (r = .470); correlation between inappropriate beliefs and practices was significant (r = .475). However, developmentally inappropriate beliefs were also positively correlated with developmentally appropriate practices (r = .537). Developmentally appropriate beliefs were not correlated with inappropriate practices. Results were discussed with possible theoretical and practical implications for future research and teacher development.

Early Childhood Educators' Beliefs and Practices about Assessment
Date: May 1994
Creator: Diffily, Deborah
Description: Standardized tests are being administered to young children in greater numbers in recent years than ever before. Many more important educational decisions about children are being based on the results of these tests. This practice continues to escalate despite early childhood professional organizations' calls for a ban of standardized testing for children eight years of age and younger. Many early childhood educators have become dissatisfied with multiple-choice testing as a measure of student learning and are increasingly using various forms of alternative assessment to replace the more traditional testing formats. Teachers seem to be caught in the middle of the controversy between standardized testing and alternative assessment. This research examined what early childhood educators in one north Texas school district believe about assessment of young children and what assessment methods they report using in their classrooms, as well as factors which influence those beliefs and practices. The sample for this study was 84 teachers who taught prekindergarten through third grade. An eight-page questionnaire provided quantitative data and interviews and the researcher's journal provided qualitative data.

Accreditation Facilitation Projects: Supporting High Quality Early Childhood Education and Care
Date: May 2013
Creator: Reinke, Stephanie L.
Description: High-quality early childhood education and care (ECEC) are linked to positive developmental outcomes for children. Systems have been created to define, measure and promote high-quality ECEC. National accreditation status is deemed the gold standard of a high-quality program, yet many centers are unable to achieve this without assistance. With the help of Accreditation Facilitation Projects (AFPs), many low-income centers are able to achieve accreditation. Centers collaborating with an AFP reap many benefits including financial support, ongoing training and mentoring, and guidance through the accreditation process. AFPs invest greatly in the centers they collaborate with and the longer the center takes to achieve accreditation, the more resources an AFP must expend. The purposes of this study were to understand if the educational level of center director, the total enrollment of a center, or the percentage of children receiving government subsidies could predict the time it takes for a center to complete the accreditation process while receiving assistance from an AFP, and to determine if there are differences in attitudes about program accreditation between center directors and early learning specialists who serve as accreditation mentors to the directors. Findings revealed that a) the higher educational level of program directors is associated with ...

Prek-6 Teachers' Beliefs About Inclusive Practices in the United States and South Korea: Cross Cultural Perspectives
Date: May 2013
Creator: Jeong, Hyunjeong
Description: The educational practice known as inclusion, which is based on values of equal opportunity and diversity, enables students with disabilities to attend the same general education classes as typically developing peers. Inclusion is a legal requirement in the United States and South Korea, but factors facilitating inclusion likely differ across countries. The purpose of the study was to examine PreK-6 school teachers' beliefs about inclusive practices in the United States and South Korea and to present a more informed direction for the future of inclusive education in both countries. Seventy-four teachers from the US and 54 from South Korea participated via email for this study employing surveys. Teachers provided their beliefs about inclusion items on the My Thinking About Inclusion (MTAI) scale, a 28-question instrument, and also provided information about their own gender, years of experience, education level, and teaching practices. A statistically significant difference was found between the teachers of the two nations for the full survey scale. The teachers' training area (i.e., general education or special education) in the US was significantly associated with the belief toward inclusion, and special education teachers in both countries were more agreeable to inclusion than general education practitioners were as shown by ...

Home Literacy Practices in Diverse Families: Parental Involvement in Kindergarten Children's Literacy Development
Date: May 2013
Creator: Gonzalez, Lauren
Description: Although prior research has shown that parental involvement positively affects a child's literacy development, attention should also be directed to the factors that keep parents from being involved in their children's education. The study reported in this dissertation examined five factors: socioeconomic status, level of education, employment, culture, and language that may be influential in parental assistance of their children's literacy development in the home. The data sources for this investigation included interview responses and a demographic survey. Data from 17 parents, each from a different household, and each with a child in kindergarten were obtained and used for the study. For analyses of these data, content analysis was used to identify similar themes among the interview responses and the demographic survey. Results indicated the following: (1) the time parents spent assisting their child with literacy activities was affected by long work hours, (2) parents with a yearly income of $25,000 or less were unable to provide additional literacy materials for their children, (3) lack of multicultural literature caused culturally diverse parents to feel devalued, and (4) parents who did not speak English fluently lacked the strategies to assist their children in completing English literacy homework. The findings suggest there ...

So awesome
We loved staying here. It was my first time ever using a vacation rental, and I was hesitant.... But, talking with the owner was so easy! They replied promptly to my request, and were very pleasant to work with. They have everything you need at this rental! Also, they had suggestions of where to go nearby which was so nice. It was the perfect location since it was so close to so many fun activities. And major points for being pet friendly!
Great Family Vacation / Perfect Location
We had a great family vacation and it all started with a nice place to stay. The home was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The location is perfect for any activity you like in Tahoe. The owners are very easy to work with and I would recommend this home to anyone. We will visit again in the near future.
Perfect Weekend Getaway!
My wife and our two dogs loved this place. It was cozy, clean, comfortable, and had everything you would need and more! We really felt at home. Everything from booking, to arrival and departure were smooth. The owner, Jeff, was easy to talk with and he was able to set us up to rent the condo on short notice which was a huge plus because we decided to go to Lake Tahoe last minute. Lastly, the location is INCREDIBLE. There are hiking trails behind the Condo where we enjoyed hikes with our dogs. Its about a 10-15 min drive to Vikingsholm and the gorgeous Rubicon Hiking Trail. During the fall, you can see the spawning of the salmon about a 10 minute walk away! We had a total blast, we will definitely be returning! Perfect for a weekend getaway!

I have travelled a lot in last 15 years. One of the nicest places I've ever stayed. All of the great stuff - room, service, roof top pool - without any pretension. Just a gorgeous place in a great neighborhood. Very impressed.
The hotel staff was exceptional and the facilities are excellent for the price.
The bed was not as comfortable as I would prefer.
Prostitutes are at the hotel 24/7 and they come up to you all the time to ask for money .I came here on business and it was horrible ,the wifi doesbt work half the time and when it does it comes and goes .The water to shower was cold ,you have to call downstairs so they turn it on .Worst two days i ever had at a hotel .i checked out and went to gateway hotel brand new place for almost same price..
The cleanliness
Too far from the Airport, charge for everything--even Water!

At this week's Passover Seders, Jews around the world lay out ceremonial meals. There's parsley or radishes to represent spring rebirth, and horseradish to show the bitterness of slavery.
As Orthodox Rabbi Tzvi Fischer shows me at the People's Farmer's Market in southeast Portland, Ore., those vegetables, and the critters inside them, bring their own theological issues.

Natalia Vodianova in Paris. The 32-year-old model had her fourth child, Maxim, in May.
Natalia Vodianova's grim Soviet childhood is fashion-world legend by now—if hard to square with the supermodel's gilded present. Divorced from English aristocrat Justin Portman and living with LVMH scion Antoine Arnault in an elegant Paris apartment, the 32-year-old mother of four might have tried to forget her hardscrabble beginnings in Nizhny Novgorod. Instead, as Ingrid Sischy discovers, Vodianova's past is a source of strength, passion, and purpose.

Blood differential
Blood differential
The blood differential test measures the percentage of each type of white blood cell (WBC) that you have in your blood. It also reveals if there are any abnormal or immature cells.
See also:
Alternative Names
Differential; White blood cell differential count
How the test is performed
The health care provider will take blood from your vein. The blood collects into an airtight container.
In infants or a young child, blood will be taken from a heel stick or finger stick. The blood is collected in a small glass tube or onto a slide or test strip.
Cotton or a bandage may be applied to stop any bleeding.
A laboratory specialist takes a drop of blood from your sample and smears it onto a glass slide. The smear is stained with a special dye, which helps tell the difference between various types of white blood cells.
Five types of white blood cells, also called leukocytes, normally appear in the blood:
- Neutrophils
- Lymphocytes (B cells and T cells)
- Monocytes
- Eosinophils
- Basophils
A computer or the health care provider counts the number of each type of cell. The test shows if the number of cells are in proper proportion with one another, and if there is more or less of one cell type.
How to prepare for the test
No special preparation is necessary.
How the test will feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the test is performed
This test is done to diagnose an infection, anemia, and leukemia. It may also be used to see if treatment for any of these conditions is working.
Normal Values
- Neutrophils: 40% to 60%
- Lymphocytes: 20% to 40%
- Monocytes: 2% to 8%
- Eosinophils: 1% to 4%
- Basophils: 0.5% to 1%
- Band (young neutrophil): 0% to 3%
What abnormal results mean
Any infection or acute stress increases your number of white blood cells. High white blood cell counts may be due to inflammation, an immune response, or blood diseases such as leukemia.
It is important to realize that an abnormal increase in one type of white blood cell can cause a decrease in the percentage of other types of white blood cells.
An increased percentage of neutrophils may be due to:
- Acute infection
- Acute stress
- Eclampsia
- Gout
- Myelocytic leukemia
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Rheumatic fever
- Thyroiditis
- Trauma
A decreased percentage of neutrophils may be due to:
- Aplastic anemia
- Chemotherapy
- Influenza or other viral infection
- Widespread bacterial infection
- Radiation therapy or exposure
An increased percentage of lymphocytes may be due to:
- Chronic bacterial infection
- Infectious hepatitis
- Infectious mononucleosis
- Lymphocytic leukemia
- Multiple myeloma
- Viral infection (such as infectious mononucleosis, mumps, measles)
A decreased percentage of lymphocytes may be due to:
- Chemotherapy
- HIV infection
- Leukemia
- Radiation therapy or exposure
- Sepsis
An increased percentage of monocytes may be due to:
- Chronic inflammatory disease
- Parasitic infection
- Tuberculosis
- Viral infection (for example, infectious mononucleosis, mumps, measles)
An increased percentage of eosinophils may be due to:
- Allergic reaction
- Cancer
- Collagen vascular disease
- Parasitic infection
A decreased percentage of basophils may be due to:
- Acute allergic reaction
What the risks are
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

Shut Down Problems
Hoping someone here has had some experience with this problems. I've been having problems shutting down my computer.
When I click to shut down the computer stalls at that blue "Computer is shutting down" screen and doesn't go any farther. I have to shut it down manually. It has happened only twice in the past three days, but I don't know what is causing it.
The first time it happened, when I started it up again, I got a DOS screen that told me to start it in safe mode, which I did. However, since I don't have a clue what to do with it in safe mode, I shut it down again, restarted it, and it started normally.
Tonight when it stalled at the "Shutting down" screen, I waited a few moments before shutting it down manually, and it loaded normally without asking for the safe mode.
A year ago I had some major work done on the computer which corrected the problems I was having, but the service tech told me when he brought it back that it had a fluke. The computer is supposed to turn off without me having to press the power button...in other words, when I click to shut down, it is supposed to go through the whole thing by itself. However, after it was worked on, the technician told me It wouldn't finish the shut down by itself. So when I click to shut it down, I have to wait until it has gone through the process. When a black, blank screen appears with only a blinking cursor, I hear a click and then shut it down by pressing the power button. I don't know if that is related to the current problem, but it's may be worth mentioning.
I've also noticed that when it does this and I get it restarted, it isn't bring the computer back up to full resources. I'm used to seeing resources at 94% and 95% when I first restart, but after the shut down problems, I'm seeing only 93%. Again, I don't know whether or not that is pertinent.
I've checked a couple of download sites for "shutdown utilities," but haven't downloaded one. I don't know if that kind of program would help or not.
My computer is a Compaq, and I'm running Windows 98 SE with 256MB of RAM.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Johnny Rube
lol... sounds like your PC is in a bad way! (hearing clicks and seeing flashing cursors? That aint right!)
Most new PC's do shut down by themselves (like almost every PC running win98 and later), so your PC should have no prob dying peacefully when you click on shutdown...
It is most likely just one of those good old windows bugs that somehow sorts itself out with time... but from the story you told, I am not sure what the heck is going on!
I doubt a 'shutdown manager' will help with that, but there is no harm in trying.
If I can offer two pieces of advice to you:
1) Format your PC and reinstall windows.. that should get rid of your clicking thing and what have you.
2) My friend. It is 2006. Time to upgrade. If you have the resources to get a new PC. I think you should. Or wait for Vista to come out with its impossibly high system requirements... there aint much point waiting for Vista unless you are a hardcore PC user.
Good luck.

Well to try and provide you with more information that simply re-installing your OS, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238096/en-us
Might the clicking be the hard drive, or not?

Thank you for the responses.
The shut-down problem has apparently corrected itself. If it re-occurs, I guess I'll have to put in a call to my friendly neighborhood geek. Thanks again.

I had this problem once and was forced to reinstall because nobody knew what caused the problem at the time (I was one of the first couple thousand cases probably).

Update drivers/firmware etc.
Run spyware cleaner like Ad-aware.
Run a startup manager like the free one from Sysinternals.com
who knows? Bad tcp/ip stack, rogue TSR's, bad RAM timing...who knows...

For the sake of clear discussion, I will offer a little dictionary
ADC= analogue to digital converter, takes an analogue signal and 'bins' it. In the simplest case a b&w image is 'bitmapped' into a 1-bit file... ones and zeros. ADCs take a *huge* amount of information and compress it into a much smaller series of bins, with which you can quickly do logical operations.
Bit depth= how many bits the ADC translates the analogue file into. 1-bit means the image gets rendered in terms of only 2^1=2= two tones, i.e. pure white and pure black dots.... 'line art.' 8-bit means that you have 2^8=256 different tones.
LVT= light valve technology, a method for 'printing' on traditional negative material with very high resolution. LVTs predate digital cameras by many decades. You can still have LVTs made. The cost is about the same as a drum scan.
Drum scanner= scanner that uses no image lensing to collect the information from the negative or positive. A PMT detector, with ~zero noise, records the information as it is rastered to the very limits of optical resolution. At this stage the signal is still fully analogue; however, when you store it, it gets binned and hence meets an ADC. At that stage the file is digital. Drum scanners can deliver far more resolution than can be stored in any practical way... short of piping the signal directly to an LVT and essentially recreating the negative kind of like teleportation
I do not have the security clearance to verify the following assertion, but I would say that there must be (or must have been at some stage) a Drum/LVT coupled pair that was used in aerial recon, linked by purely analogue transmission. In other words: there was a full-res LF neg created by a satellite that was then drummed onboard and recreated on the ground by LVT for enlargement. My guess is that such a setup has been superceded by a multi-sampling digital process with the added advantage of high IR sensitivity at the imaging stage.

Jos Poortvliet, the most friendly face of the openSUSE community, is joining ownCloud as Community Manager. ownCloud doesn't need any introduction; it is one of the most promising Free Software technologies which lets users benefit from 'cloud' without losing the ownership of data and computing – something that happens with public cloud services offered by players like Dropbox or Google Drive. We have been covering ownCloud from its early days so I was curious about Jos joining ownCloud.
When I asked what value would Jos Poortvliet bring to ownCloud, Frank Karlitschek, the co-founder of ownCloud said, "Jos has a huge amount of experience with open source communities and how to push free software forward in general. As a Community Manager he will help to grow the ownCloud contributor community and will also help to spread the word beyond the usual open source crowd. I think that ownCloud and decentralized web services are super important nowadays to protect a free internet."
ownCloud works very closely with other Free Software communities like the KDE Community, FreeDesktop.org, etc. and Jos is also a strong supporter of collaboration between the free software communities so it seems like a perfect match. Frank says, "Yes. ownCloud is working closely together with other free software projects like KDE, GNOME, openSUSE, Fedora and many others. I think we all have to work together to provide a free computing environment for users including free cloud infrastructure. So collaboration is absolutely key."
ownCloud has created a model similar to Red Hat model. ownCloud has a very strong community around it which is continuously growing, while the company is also raising funds by getting more investors. "No Free Software project can survive without a strong community and looking at Jos' contribution to openSUSE and KDE I am positive about ownCloud benefitting from his experience." Frank agrees and tells me more about the ownCloud community and Jos' engagement with this community, "ownCloud already has between 200-300 contributors from all over the world who help with improving the ownCloud core, 3rd party app, translations, testing and many other areas. Jos will work together with all the other core people to grow this even more."
Here is the first Exclusive interview of Jos Poortvliet as the Community Manager of ownCloud
The Interview
Swapnil: What will be your role at ownCloud as a Community Manager?
Jos: ownCloud is of course very exciting, with the ambition of bringing control over your cloud data back into your hands! I think it is incredibly important for consumers that this is available for everybody.
I hope to help make that happen in a few areas. Certainly a big part will be to help the community with marketing and promotion, not just of the project but also the people who make up the community. There are great things going on around ownCloud and that is worth talking about! I will be going to events, writing, working on marketing materials. And I don't like to work alone so I'm sure to kick some others into helping out with this!
Another part of the job will be to help Frank (and others) out with the social side of the community. Dealing with differences, perhaps, or helping the community find directions and make choices.
Swapnil: What actually is the role of a Community Manager? Why does someone need to manage a free software community?
Jos: I guess the term community manager means a lot of things – and in most companies just boils down to the person who tweets a lot
There is a big PR aspect to community management, of course – a primary part of the job is to grow the community. So marketing, talking, writing, and yeah, social media I suppose. The 'management' part of the job is about handling the relationship of the company with the community. So it is not about managing people or anything like that but taking care that the company takes the right steps with regard to the community. Answering questions like "should we do X, what will the community say?" or "how can we help the community best?" for example. Explaining how the community works to new employees, trying to improve collaboration with the volunteers, things like that.
Swapnil: ownCloud works very closely with the KDE and FreeDesktop community as Frank being an active developer there, so how will your joining ownCloud affect these two projects?
Jos: You forgot openSUSE
But yeah, we have relationships to communities in the Free Software ecosystem, of course. Not just with those, but many more. How this affects them? It will become even easier to talk to each other.
Swapnil: ownCloud is yet trying to gain momentum within the community but still doesn't seem to be ready for prime time, as it does lack a lot of prime time features, so what changes do you expect in the community version?
Jos: First, I don't agree it is not 'ready for prime time'. Yes, there is a great opportunity for ownCloud and a lot of work to be done to seize it. But we already have easily over a million users, a huge and active community and technical abilities that satisfy most important use cases.
ownCloud Inc is hiring developers all the time. You might have seen the closing of a funding round last month: we are growing, and fast. We have over a 100 well known customers (including the atom smashers at CERN) and we are always adding features and improving the existing functionality. Of course, much of this work goes directly into the ownCloud code, only a little is in enterprise-only features.
Swapnil: Are you looking for developers for ownCloud, if yes why would someone join ownCloud, are there any job opportunities that arrive with gaining exp in ownCloud?
Jos: Yes, we're hiring and mostly from the ownCloud contributor community. But it is not just us – we have some big customers and companies involved in ownCloud which might hire good people as well. And of course, being involved in a well known project like ownCloud looks great on anybody's resume.
Swapnil: When one looks at the ownCloud community what are we looking at – just the developer or more than that? What are the areas where ownCloud needs more help from the community?
Jos: Well, I obviously would like to build up a bit of a marketing team! It would be great to have people write more blogs about what is going on inside ownCloud development. And how about getting a bit of writing done for magazines perhaps, explaining their readers what we are up to? And there is documentation, bug finding and triaging… Loads of work to be done outside of PHP development.
Swapnil: How can someone join ownCloud as a community developer?
Jos: Oh, that is terribly easy: fork something on github, build what you want and send a merge request! Of course it is smart to hang out on the #owncloud-devel IRC channel and the mailing list and so on. In general, it is very smart to begin at this page and take it from there: http://doc.owncloud.org/server/6.0/developer_manual/
And while you're at it – documenting your trip towards development into that manual would be appreciated, lots of things are not yet as well documented as we'd like!
