Environmental crime
Environmental crime is a serious and growing international problem, and one which takes many different forms.
Broadly speaking, wildlife crime is the illegal exploitation of the world's wild flora and fauna, while pollution crime is the trade and disposal of waste and hazardous substances in contravention of national and international laws.
In addition to these clear and present crimes, new types of environmental crime are emerging, such as carbon trade and water management crime.
Organized criminal networks
Environmental crime is not restricted by borders, and can affect a nation's economy, security and even its existence.
A significant proportion of both wildlife and pollution crime is carried out by organized criminal networks, drawn by the low risk and high profit nature of these types of crime.
The same routes used to smuggle wildlife across countries and continents are often used to smuggle weapons, drugs and people. Indeed, environmental crime often occurs hand in hand with other offences such as passport fraud, corruption, money laundering and murder.
INTERPOL's response
In today's global economy there is a need for an international strategy to deal with this type of crime. As the only organization with a mandate to share and process criminal information globally, INTERPOL is uniquely qualified to lead these efforts.
The INTERPOL Environmental Crime Programme:
- Leads global and regional operations to dismantle the criminal networks behind environmental crime using intelligence-driven policing;
- Coordinates and develops international law enforcement best practice manuals, guides and other resources;
- Provides environmental law enforcement agencies with access to our services by enhancing their links with INTERPOL National Central Bureaus;
- Works with the Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Committee to shape the Programme's strategy and direction.

Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said Monday that remarks by a breakway traditionalist bishops that called Jews 'enemies' were 'unacceptable.' / ALBERTO PIZZOLI AFP/Getty Images
VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican reaffirmed its commitment to dialogue with Jews on Monday after the head of a traditionalist breakaway group called them "enemies of the Church" in a late December video now circulating on YouTube.
Bishop Bernard Fellay, head of the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), said on Dec. 28 that "the enemies of the Church: the Jews, the Masons, the modernists" were opposing the group's reconciliation with the Church.
Fellay assessed the status of relations between the SSPX and the Vatican in a long speech in New Hamburg, Ontario. The audio of the speech was posted on YouTube on Dec. 30.
Monday, the Vatican chief spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi,called the comment "meaningless" and "unacceptable."
Lombardi said "both Pope Benedict XVI and his predecessor John Paul II personally engaged in dialogue with Jews." As a sign of their commitment, Lombardi noted the two popes' visits to Jerusalem's Western Wall, Judaism's most sacred site, and to synagogues in Rome and elsewhere.
Pope Benedict XVI has been pushing since 2009 to repair the decades-long breach with the SSPX, focusing on the group's rejection of the modernizing changes of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). Those changes including revolutionizing the church's relations with Judaism.
Lombardi declined to comment on the potential impact of Fellay's words on the dialogue between the Vatican and the SSPX. The dialogue is currently stalled as the Vatican awaits the SSPX's response to a reconciliation offer submitted last June. Leaked SSPX documents slammed the proposal as "clearly unacceptable," but the Vatican signaled in October that it is willing to give the traditionalists "additional time for reflection and study."
Anti-Semitic strains within the SSPX have been a major headache for the Vatican; shortly after Benedict lifted the 1988 excommunications of four SSPX bishops, it emerged that one of the bishops, Richard Williamson, was a vocal denier of the Holocaust.
In a statement, the American branch of the SSPX dismissed the "false accusations of anti-Semitism or hate speech" made against the group.
It said the SSPX leader used the word "enemies" as a "religious concept," referring to "any group or religious sect which opposes the mission of the Catholic Church and her efforts to fulfill it: the salvation of souls."
"Fellay's comment was aimed at the leaders of Jewish organizations, and not the Jewish people, as is being implied by journalists," the group said.

(n8vi's 12.5-inch f/5 dobsonian telescope)
A friend of mine gave up on finding time to start his project to turn the pile of telescope parts he got off ebay into a telescope. The project has become mine. The parts I inherited were a 12.5-inch f/5 mirror, a metal cell for it to live in with a 15.5-inch outer diameter, a rack-and-pinion focuser with a bent pinion, a secondary mirror, and a spider vane assembly. Supposedly, he was supposed to receive a tube, but it never arrived.
The dobsonian is currently living near the middle of i3's west wall.
OTA (optical tube assembly)
- determine focal length of mirror by pointing it at a white board next to a light source and changing its distance until the reflection of the light source on the board is in focus. Divide this distance by two to get the focal length DONE: 65 inches, which makes this 12.5" diameter mirror f/5
- purchase concrete pouring tube with enough inside diameter to allow cell for 12.5-inch mirror to move around a bit with a length of the focal length of the mirror or longer. DONE. 14 inch ID, 72 inch length
- build new mirror cell back ("tailgate") for new tube inside diameter. Drill holes for ventilation, plus holes to match the asymmetrical tuning screws on the cell front. Add locking screws. DONE, although the locking screw heads and tuning screw heads collide, but perhaps I'll replace them both. I'd much prefer replacements with knurled circular heads. Maybe I'll make them ...
- drill focuser hole, with notch for rack DONE
- drill holes for and mount secondary mirror DONE. It even collimates!
- Set primary in back of tube, lock it in place with shims, and move the mirror around until something several miles away comes into focus with the focuser at midrange. Do this for a number of observers and average the results. Try it with several eyepieces. A good site to try from is the parking structure at work, from which the Detroit Zoo watertower, five miles away, is visible. System test done, wedged primary mirror in with wood shims and viewed moon (see photo below). Mirror was almost a foot into the tube, however it was still not far enough in for the high power eyepiece (9mm with 2x barlow) to focus. DONE, 31 Aug. Found align point on my lunch break, marked with pencil, checked focus of detroit zoo water tower and a prominence on a roof about 1.5 miles away from the top of work's parking structure. Looks good. Later got a good view of Venus, primary still held in with shims.
- about now would be a good time to make a cover for the end of the tube, so when the primary is installed, we can keep dust off it. In progress as, of course, the last step
- buy a telrad, they're cheap! DONE, arrived, looks pretty awesome.
- install mirror in the average spot given all the marks from different observers DONE. Looks quite good with the cell held in place with three brass screws sitting in brass grommets. also, this averaging stuff isn't necessary, different eyeballs aren't that different, but different eyepieces are. I checked with a 25mm eyepiece and a 9.5mm eyepiece in a 2x barlow.
- buy a second smaller tube and experiment with what's necessary to paint it and make it not look like crap. Actually experimenting now with a piece cut off the end of the tube when it was cut to length. May or may not use gap filler to remove the spiralling on the outside of the tube before primering
- dismantle optical tube assembly and cut the tube to length. DONE
- Sand the inside to rough up the light wax coating on the inside, and paint the inside matte black DONE. Not pleased with how it looks, I used far too course of sandpaper and tore up the inside of the tube, but functionally it should be okay. May sand and repaint. looked at this again today, it looks fine ... hell, the mild torn-upness of the tube probably baffles light better
- fill the gaps created by the spiralling paper that makes up the tube with wood gap filler (got this idea from model rocket builders)DONE. Probably a bad idea, I don't have the patience to sand this properly, so it'll probably look worse than it would have without gap filler
- sand that DONE
- prime the outside of the tube had to stop five cans of primer in, still not totally uniform though
- sand that DONE. Now looks much more even.
- paint the outside of the tube DONE
- Clearcoat the outside of the tube, depending on results with test tube DONE
- repaint the inside of the tube because clearly there wasn't enough masking while painting the outside DONE. Used special low-reflectivity paint. Looks good.
- figure out how to do tube rings, ie, metal rings at the top and bottom of the OTA to prevent denting and tearing Apparently i3 has a machine that magically turns strips of metal into rings, and I have a shop open on Saturday right next to my house that sells metal strips. Just need to decide width. DONE. 8.5 feet of aluminum from metal mart ($10) -> ring roller -> Sexton Enterprises for welding ($15) -> wire brush surface -> looks pretty awesome
- reassemble tube DONE. Sitting on the west wall at i3 with a plywood sheet on top of it because I still haven't gotten around to making a dust cover.
Dobsonian-style ALT-AZ Mount
- figure out bearing surfaces Well, the standard dob bearing is Teflon against ebony star laminate, right? Well, buying a sheet of laminate in normal person quantities is a little less than a hundred bucks. You can sample an 8 x 11" piece, but that's a little small for my purposes. [This] place has some smaller quantities though. DONE - teflon on smooth laminate works fine, despite what people say. Also, Dave A. had some sitting around. Thanks Dave!
- perhaps acquire a small piece of Teflon and wander into countertop places looking for a good surface to run the Teflon on for the bearing surfaces of the mount how about find teflon in my living room? I have found a vinyl LP for the azimuth bearing. Contemplating brushed aluminum for the elevation bearing. DONE, see above
- build a box around the tube with the semicircle alt bearing surfaces attached to the center of either side. Slide the box until the bearing surfaces are at the center of balance. Put a screw or two into the box from the inside of the tube. Box built, thanks to the help of Dave A with shopping for the right kind of plywood, rabbeting, and not killing myself with a tablesaw. DONE. Balanced, laminate applied to bearing edges. Thanks again Dave A.
- Attach hefty brass handle to top of tube box. DONE
- build the alt mounting, ensuring it is tall enough such that the telescope can point straight up. This means that the balance point will have to be sqrt((balance point)^2+(tube radius)^2) high, for the most forward-heavy configuration. DONE. I scaled it so that the eyepiece is at standing eye level when the scope is pointed straight up. You can't escape Dobson's hole though, as you'd have to lie down to view below 20 degrees. May be augmenting rocker box height prior to worrying about azimuth bearings. Rechecked, this time allowing for observing from a chair. It's good from 90 to 20 degrees, with a transition from standing to sitting at around 45 degrees. I call that damn near perfect.
- build the az mounting, with some sort of screw or bolt protruding from the center of the bottom surface through a hole in the center of the top surface. Possibly we can mount a gear or something here later for motorization. The floor of the rocker box will be square and will rotate on a round ground board so that the furthest protruding part of the base is always a consistent distance from the operator's feet (no surprise trip hazards!). The ground board will have three feet. DONE. Added a floor board to the rocker box last night after I realized how this should work. Ground board added with teflon pieces into a vinyl LP. I now have functional bearings on both axes. Three feet added, tough rubber, wobbbled a bit much, switched to harder plastic, working well.
- attach two handles to mount (Nope, there will be either one monkey handle or one brass handle up front). DONE. One brass handle
- stain and varnish the mount or whatever (I will be clearcoating. Nothing more, nothing less.) DONE. Coat seems a bit light after four coats, may recoat
- Install telrad. Line it up, once again, by lying the tube flat and pointing at terrestrial objects. DONE. Lined up on the moon then slewed to Vega; Vega was then immediately visible in 9mm eyepiece with no correction. Easiest viewfinder I've ever used.
- FIRST LIGHT (next clear night after this) DONE. Split Mizar, checked out Albireo, the moon again, M45, and Jupiter. I have since seen Venus, M57 and M42. M42 looks amazing in this thing.
- eyepiece rack on the eyepiece side of the rocker box. DONE. Looks good
- dust cover. I know it's listed above, but it's waited until now to happen, and I'm working on it.
- aperture stop. This thing gathers so much light from Jupiter and Venus that I end up with washed out contrast. I can either up my magnification (and deal with impossible tracking and focusing) or stop the aperture. An aperture stop takes the diffraction effects of the spider vanes out of the picture too, but I have yet to actually see diffraction spikes in anything but a photograph. I'm working on the stop too, as it starts out with the same 14-inch diameter circle of thin plywood like the dust cover.
- filters. Need to get some of these and see if it doesn't help contrast on Jupiter at full aperture, light pollution and DSOs, etc
- solar filter. Likely this will be an aperture stop with some mylar glued to it. I'm going to test a lot with the aperture stop first though to ensure I can make one that doesn't fall off.
Possible Mechanization
The following steps may or may not happen if I decide I like poncet platforms, which is definitely a possibility.
- write code that fits in an AVR or MSP430 that can pull date and time from a GPS and convert that time into an posix-style integer and back, and can pull lat and lon and convert them into radians and back. DONE
- write code that converts RA and DEC to ALT and AZ for standalone earth rotation track mode MOSTLY DONE
- find specs for a scope control protocol full-sized stellarium supports DONE: Meade's sucks, I'm using celestron's
- make the above happen inside aforementioned AVR
- talk to Steve about motorization
- design a board for this uC to live in with motor control and GPS hardware
- provide serial access to this board through a header that can accept [this] board.
- produce a small similar board with an RJ45 connector on it to do serial in a cisco-style connector
- learn to code for android STARTED, I need to put more time into this
- design basic keypad controller for android that transmits celestron-style commands to the board over bluetooth
- either buy [Sky Safari Plus] or talk to the [stellarium mobile] people about helping add a scope control module
I bought a 14-inch ID cardboard concrete pouring tube for this. I was unable to find anything with a 15.5-inch ID, so I needed to rebuild the back of the mirror cell (see below).
The next steps of building this behemoth will all be centered around the tube - sanding the light wax coating off the inside of the concrete pouring tube and painting it matte black, drilling the focuser hole, installing the spider vane assembly and installing the primary mirror. After all that's done, I'll be tearing it all apart and painting the outside. And all of those steps contain fiddly substeps that involve figuring out placement of things. And possibly using a few shims.
Cell/Tailgate (Primary mirror mount)
I rebuilt the back of the mirror cell out of birch plywood, which I painted matte black. This was a most educational process in which I learned that pine plywood is terrible, beam compasses are awesome (the tailgate measurements were done solely with a compass), oil paint is for people who know what they're doing (I just grabbed the first thing that said matte black), wood glue is pretty sweet and easy to use (I attached three pieces on the back of the tailgate to make hitting the tailgate with the screws that will attach it to the tube easier), and that despite how imprecise hole saws look, noone can tell at this scale.
Spider (Secondary mirror mount)
I fretted about drilling the focuser hole and spider mount holes in my pristine tube for quite a while. Turned out it was quite easy - first, I sanded the edge of the tube flat and checked it with a square and a flat piece of board. Then I drilled the eyepiece hole one radius' distance from the edge, with a urethane foam mold of the tube's inside behind the drill bit to prevent tearout. I then filed out a notch for the rack of the rack-and-pinion focuser to fit in. I laid the spider on the outside of the tube to figure out how far back from the focuser hole the spider mounting screws would go. Then I tied a piece of string around the tube, measured all around to ensure it was the same distance from the end everywhere, pulled it off, folded it into eighths, hit one side with a sharpie, and put it back on. Now I had sharpie marks every 90 degrees. I remeasured everywhere to ensure the string was again the same distance from the end everywhere, and drilled the holes. The springiness of my spider vanes eased installation. Successes that surprised me at this stage: I didn't ruin the thing by drilling anything in the wrong place, the secondary doesn't bounce all over the place, and the focuser draw tube fits perfectly in the hole I drilled.
Another thing I learned here is that collimation of the secondary mirror is likely much more easily done without the primary installed, and instead with a light at the end of the tube. (I made a quick collimation eyepiece out of the top of a soda bottle and some masking tape with a hole poked approximately in the middle)
A recent idea I had was to make four small notches in the cell end of the tube. I could then remove the primary and insert two pieces of string (which would cross in the center of the tube, right?) to align the secondary.

Midwest Living Review
Sitting on a busy corner in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, Perennial Virant is named for Paul Virant, an award-winning chef who has made a name for himself in Chicago for his fresh ingredients and takes on American food. Those fresh ingredients and local producers star in the limited menu of seven appetizers, seven entrees and seven sides. That might not sound like many options, but it's an overwhelming number when everything sounds tempting.
In a warm and casual setting (Mason jar light fixtures), they serve meals with intriguing combinations of ingredients, intense yet delicate sauces, and super fresh flavors. No matter what else you order, don't miss the smoked ham hock beignets, with apple puree and hot pepper vinaigrette, a lively Midwestern rendition of a New Orleans fave. For entrees, the grilled Rushing Waters rainbow trout comes atop braised pearl pasta and sauteed spinach and gets flavor from cilantro, lime and Spanish olive oil with a garnish of grilled sliced leeks ($27). The grilled smokiness complimented the perfectly cooked trout. It was a light-tasting dish with good intensity and a slight kick from minced cherry bomb peppers.
We weren't as fond of the Caverry Farm Rouen Duck Schnitzel, which arrived on a bed of arugula with duck jus, candied lemon and cracklings ($28). Though the crispy exterior was delicious, the overall flavor was disappointing. But for dessert, the homemade ginger ice cream is a knockout. We will definitely go back—we haven't tasted all the options on the menu!

Symptoms of deafness in infants may be noted at these stages:
All children, including newborns, should be screened for hearing loss.

Treatment for deafness depends on the type of hearing loss. Options may include:
To help prevent deafness, avoid loud noise. In cases when loud noise cannot be avoided, you can reduce exposure to loud noises by wearing ear protection. Also, taking steps to reduce injuries or disease may prevent certain types of deafness.
There is currently no effective way to prevent congenital or genetic deafness. Hearing screening for newborns can help ensure that hearing loss in young babies is detected and treated at the earliest possible stage.

Addiction is the ultimate in holistic pet food. Free from harmful additives, made exclusively from novel proteins and game meats known for their nutritional and hypoallergenic properties, Addiction has amassed a cult following among discerning pet owners seeking the ultimate in holistic nutrition. Addiction is made in New Zealand and Australia where the lush forests, clean lakes and stringent agricultural and manufacturing standards ensure the highest quality food made in a pristine environment. The Addiction range of products is the result of over 20 years of research and experience and revolutionizes the way in which pets' nutritional needs are addressed.
Addiction was founded by a leading Holistic Veterinarian and Clinical Nutritionist who saw thousands of disease-stricken cats and dogs plagued with skin and gastrointestinal conditions caused by allergies to beef, chicken, lamb and artificial additives. Frustrated by the lack of healthy food options, he set out with a mission to develop a range of ultra-premium dog and cat foods that contain no by-products, fillers or preservatives. He also utilized an innovative range of hypoallergenic protein sources to prevent allergies and promote wellness and vitality in pets.
What Nature Intended Your Dog to EatEnlightened by the belief that pet food should be natural and free from harmful additives, the Addiction range uses only natural, wholesome, highest quality ingredients packed with nutritional benefits to enhance health and well-being. It contains no artificial preservatives, flavors, fillers or by-products commonly found in many of today's pet foods and even human foods. The result is food as close as possible to what nature intended your dog to eat.
Exclusively Made From Novel Proteins and Game MeatsThe Addiction range is made exclusively from novel proteins and game meats instead of commonly used chicken, beef or lamb. Novel proteins are hypoallergenic to dogs not previously exposed to them, and they therefore provide a natural solution to dogs that are allergic to chicken, beef or lamb. Each novel protein and game meat in the Addiction range is carefully selected for its exquisite taste and nutritional properties, providing your dog with a naturally great tasting meal with unique health benefits.

wonderful food
By Leann and CC's mom
from Tampa, FL
I feed this food to help with IBD and it does, but it also changed my dog! She is lively, happy and totally puppy like. I could never keep weight on her and now she is sturdy and way less fragile. She is a 6 yr old (Greyhound) and acts like 6 mos. She seemed depressed so we got another dog to make her happy and it helped a little, but really the food made the biggest difference.
Our Shepherd Loves This
By KJF a huge Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan
from Central Iowa
We do mix this food with a little high-end Science Diet, due to the price, but our German Shepherd loves this food. And we feel good about serving it to her...due to the quality. If the price were just a little lower, we'd use the Addiction food exclusively.
Good stuff, will buy again & again!
By Chicken Chick
from Willard, MO
I have 4 border collies & they all LOVE this! I home cook for them & use this to stretch our food budget. I also put this food in toys around the house for them to find, it's a great game. This is a little high in fat, so if your dogs aren't as active as mine you might want to watch portion control. Mine don't all usually like the same thing, but since they all loved this, I would guess your dog would love it too!
A guilt free dog food for my
By Dorsey
from FLorida
I keep my dry food in an "on demand" feeder. My dogs do not abuse the privilege, so this has been my method for years. They really enjoy this food and I feel good knowing they are not getting fillers and grains but solid nutrition. They also get one planned meal of ground raw meat and bone along with Chia seed gel. Now if there is a storm, which causes them not to eat, I don't worry about it as I know their dry food is so healthy.

Sierra Club Outdoors
Featured Trips
"Sierra Club Military Outdoors is simple and brilliant. Ice climbing for my first time with this group was everything I could ask for. The contracted guide service was more than helpful, knowledgeable and safe. We were even fortunate enough to have one of America's greatest climbers of Conrad Anker to not only give motivation and climb with us, but coaching and assisting in improving climbing techniques. The selected group of veterans was of different back grounds and experiences. We had a great common denominator throughout us and that was we all were people of strong resilience, military background, a passion for the outdoors and a drive to excel in the path that lay ahead. Using outdoors as your sanctuary is not anything new, throughout the ages this has been a place people of all types have come to relax, think and just find themselves. The fact that Sierra Club is reaching out to the Military as an audience for this is quite awesome. Hyalite Canyon was a beautiful piece of land with great ice climbing and views to be lost in as you gained the elevation on each pitch. I wish to give a thanks to SCMO for such an opportunity to learn a new skill, enjoy and meet new and other veterans who enjoy nature, and a chance for me to get back to nature in it's rare beauty."
— Army First Sergeant Mike Pickerel
" For 7 days, the Boston Basin became my home. It welcomed me with frustration, exhaustion, and more than my share of bruises. The mountain took every opportunity to test my physical strength and psychological vulnerabilities. Every night, defeated, I sat under the stars wondering why I took on this journey. Every morning the crisp air of the sunrise reminded me why. Life gets complicated after deployment. Every day for almost a year, I left a piece of myself in the mountains of Afghanistan. In that void, the sight, smell, and sounds of war followed me home. I thought that I was climbing the North Cascades make a film. But that's not why the mountain called my name. The mountain wanted to return something to me that was left behind on a battlefield on the other side of the world... My peace. My purpose. My sanity. Words cannot express how thankful I am to the Sierra Club Outdoors and Adventure Film School for giving me the opportunity to heal the wounds of war through fun, friendship, and filmmaking.There is no better place to clear you mind than being in the great outdoors. If you can't see the forest through the trees, then get above the tree line."

Call for Submissions - QZAP:meta #5
OK, so this is almost two years old... we never did finish putting out QZAP:meta #5, so we're re-opening the call for submissions.
Submit an article or artwork for the next issue of QZAP:meta (the queer zine about queer zines.) Issue #5 is going to be "The Music Issue", and we're narrowing our focus a little for this one.
We're looking for articles and narratives about how queer zines and queer music connect. More specifically across genres like queercore/queerpunk, riot grrrl, and homo-hop, though please don't let that be the limit.
Some questions to think about:
- Did queer zines turn you on to certain bands or musicians?
- Did queer zines help to promote you or your band?
- In the age of the internet, MySpace, iTunes, etc. what and how do musicians and zines interact?
- What about fanzines? Do they still exist? Any stories about fanzines specifically?
Other narratives about going to shows, getting or giving zines, etc. are also encouraged.
Ideally we're looking for between 1000 and 3000 words (roughly 2-5 pages), or grayscale images at 300dpi or higher.
Deadline for this issue is February 15th, 2013. We're hoping to get it printed by the beginning of March, 2013. All submitters will get a copy of the zine and a cute QZAP button.

Five Low-Hanging UX Tips
People are always looking for ways to improve their websites or applications, and oftentimes we come up with very big and overly complicated ideas on how to do that. Here are some simple ways to greatly improve the user experience of an app.
1. When In Doubt, Make It Faster
It is a well-known fact that page load time affects user abandonment. If a site takes too long to load, people just hit the back button and leave. To contradict Henry Ford's quote about faster horses, there's nothing wrong with making it faster. Users will never complain that the application was too fast. This is one investment you won't regret.
For Google, an increase in page load time from 0.4 second to 0.9 seconds decreased traffic and ad revenues by 20%. For Amazon, every 100 ms increase in load times decreased sales by 1%. When the homepage of Google Maps was reduced from 100KB to 70-80KB, traffic went up 10% in the first week, and an additional 25% in the following three weeks.
"Improving speed to make something 25 percent faster is a much more valuable feature than a brand-new feature."
- Jason Fried
Additional reading
- The Psychology of Web Performance - Web Site Optimization
- Page Load Times vs. Conversion Rates - Gabriel Svennerberg
2. Remove Stuff
"Get yourself fully dressed and then, before walking out the front door, pause by the mirror and remove one item."
- Coco Chanel
"It's all about removing the unnecessary."
- Jonathan Ive, Senior VP of Industrial Design at Apple
Make your app simpler. Remove steps and barriers that users have to go through to accomplish their tasks.
"Feature density is not strongly correlated with user experience."
- Joe Dwyer, venture capitalist
Users don't really want features, they want their problems solved. If people aren't using a particular feature, considering redesigning it, hiding it, or simply removing it. That will bring focus to your core features.
"Every time you make the user make a decision they don't care about, you have failed as a designer."
- Aza Raskin
3. Do the Thinking for Me
Or in the words of Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think. A good application doesn't ask me all the ways I would like to get things done. If I don't name a document, it should create a default name. It makes common-sense assumptions for me for things that I might not care to change or don't want to deal with right away. Make decisions for the user as much as possible.
"Don't lose sight of user delight."
- Mark Pincus
4. Delight Customers
It's not enough to solve their problem. This is especially true of consumer-facing applications and products. Mark Pincus' company Zynga has made a successful business in delighting customers by providing games such as FarmVille and CityVille that Facebook users enjoy. But just because you are not making games doesn't mean you shouldn't care about delighting users.
5. First Impressions Matter
Just as people form impressions about other people seconds upon meeting them, people also form first impressions about your website in as little as 50 milliseconds. Your website is judged on things such as design, trustworthiness, layout, and color at a very subconscious level.
According to a new University of Melbourne study by Dr. Brent Coker, online consumer trust is largely linked to the visual appeal of websites. People are psychologically hardwired to trust not only beautiful people, but beautiful technology as well.
None of these techniques require years of UX experience, but rather apply simple concepts that can have a meaningful impact on a website. Oftentimes teams can overanalyze their product and try to come up with smart and novel ways to do something for the sake of being innovative. This does not necessarily solve the problem. Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should.
I will end with one of Dieter Rams' 10 principles of good design: "Good design is as little design as possible."
Add new comment
Your title caught my eye. Seriously nice job on that. The five tips were succinct and to the point -- like good, simple design.
@Adam - Usabilityhubs http://FiveSecondTest.com is a nifty tool for collecting first impression comments on screenshots of e.g. home screens.
When considering "Users will never complain that the application was too fast." it's important to keep in mind, that if a user-initiated action is carried out by the system very fast, and no transitional or persistent feedback is provided, it might leave the user in doubt whether the action is carried out at all.
Thanks for the article - a good read. These are no-brainers that need to be remembered continuously in our field.
I do have to agree with Dan, however. The mention of Zynga in a positive light does cast somewhat of a shadow on the article. While they do delight their customers it is at a cost to many developers along the way...
This article served as some great inspiration to start asking myself questions with my own apps and see where there is improvement. Thanks for the read!
I have a hard time reading an article that mentions Zynga, a company that openly steals all of its user interface design from smaller startup companies, then buries them with marketing dollars. Of all the companies you could have cited, perhaps one that had a single original idea in regards to Ux would have been more appropriate.
I think one of the 'points' here is that many times designers/developers get side-tracked by short-sighted goals such as:
"Prove to everyone once and for all how awesome I am with
[ insert latest technology here ...jQuery, node ...css3 html5 ...blah blah ] "
Have you ever looked sites done by so-called "javascript ninjas"? Hideous Frankstein-ed monstrosities with technology
as a stand-in for aesthetic sense and good-design.
I am not sure "delight customers" and "make your site beautiful" are low hanging fruit. I agree they are very importation and worthy goals, but can be very hard to retro-fit on existing websites.
@ Rob: I don't think that "delighting" a customer actually means giving them what they want (even when they're wrong) - I take it to mean that attention should be paid to experience, in any situation.
For example, I see endless examples of "enterprise = boring" - not just UX, but everything. Language has to be dense, nearly unreadable and so so serious. Really? Just because we're at work?
An interface can be made lighthearted with out being a game, and without being silly. As long as rule #1 is observed (no one wants to watch every link become a slow spiral to the left transition), I think the goal of delighting users is a good one (and explains the huge success of mootools/jQuery/etc. ux animation styles being so ubiquitous - because done right, they're delightful.)
I Really like this list. Makes you think about the speed of your hosting.
But most importantly, the 'trust of beautiful websites'. I can understand that, infact I've done the same myself; 'that website looks prettier, so that's the one I will use'.
Which brings me to a question, where do you go to find out if your website looks any good? Who can you ask beyond mailing lists etc?
Take http://www.lushbackup.com A simple and affordable online backup service, but does it look pretty? Really, does it matter? once an account is setup, user's never really need to see the website again... but it seems to matter that it's pretty!
I agree with the points but not the title. "Low hanging tips" suggest easy and quick wins for any UI and none of the above are that. Making pages faster on an enterprise web application is not quick and easy and often requires plenty of architecture.
I also think 'Delighting customers' isn't that useful as quite often the customer wants something that isn't what they need. Or they want something they feel they shouldn't have to pay for. As noble as it is, delighting customers is not a quick and easy win.
I could level similar comments at the other three.
Short and to the point, plus thanks for the link resources. Will definitely check them out. Great article Pek.

YolandaNJHairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairHair Drier At The Ends.I bought this today and didn't realize it was a shampoo. I used it and did not follow up with a conditioner or put a detangler on my hair. OMG. It was hard to comb my hair, ( I managed). I used a wide tooth comb. I put rollers on my hair, under the hair dryer and my hair is still dry at the ends. feels like straw. I even used the Chi flat iron guard. I will wash my hair again tomorrow and use a conditioner. I did not notice any great about this shampoo. My hair is color treated, dry and very curly. Thank goodness I only paid $8.00.

I am African American and have been without any chemical treatment for 3 months. My hair was breaking off and quite damages. Each time I shampooed it, there would be so much shedding. The moment I washed my hair with this product, I saw immediate results. No breakage at all and my hair was so easy to comb through, even after washing. I love, love, love this product and would recommend to many of my friends.posted Jan 13, 2012Link to this post

It got my hair dry and brittle at the ends.

Revision as of 21:52, 25 January 2013
In memory of Aaron Swartz, and in coordination with a world-wide effort, Noisebridge will be hosting a hackathon starting Friday, January 25th, and continuing through Sunday, January 27th.
Contents |
Aaron was a hacktivist and friend of many in our community. He helped create RSS 1.0; contributed to Creative Commons; was an early builder of Reddit, where he's often acknowledged as a co-founder; created the web.py framework; and more recently, became a data liberator, first with PACER and then with scholarly articles from JSTOR, both of which got him into trouble with the law.
Aaron's Demand Progress project helped stop SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act in the US, which threatened to have far reaching unintended consequences.
Aaron Swartz committed suicide on Jan. 11, 2013, but his work on making the world a better place should not die with him. Join us for two days of understanding his work and contributing to keep his memory and projects alive.
(This section adapted with permission from the Bangalore hackathon.)
Event Details
When: 7pm Jan. 25 - 7pm Jan. 27
What: Come learn new skills and work together on projects that Aaron would have liked. Themes include open information access, sharing and preserving human knowledge, hacking for social/political justice, and techno-activism.
Remote collab: mailing list
The event is free, but we'll have donation boxes for purchasing food and project supplies. BYO-snacks-and-energy-drinks.
Post and gather volunteers for project ideas on this spreadsheet. Most of them need someone to volunteer to be the point of contact.
Talks are relatively informal, supposedly fun, and probably won't go for an hour each.
Scheduled talks/demos (tentative):
- 7 pm: Hackathon starts, Yan probably says some words and asks for money.
- 8 pm: Keynote talk on Aaron's life and work by Danny O'Brien
- 4 pm: Step 1: FOIA, Step 2: ??, Step 3: Profit, Ka-Ping Yee. How to write Freedom of Information Act request letters to do good things for the world.
- 5 pm: Hacktivism: On social justice movements, Daniel Jabbour. A brief history of social justice movements, and my own experience with policy reform and hacktivism.
- 6 pm: Principles of Low Power Design, Alex Newman. Hardware you have never heard of for more low power.
- 7 pm: Improving the Scientific Process through Software, Jacob Steinhardt. Learn about existing open source projects to improve science, and others that should exist but don't.
- 8 pm: Towards Open Access in the Sciences, Yan Zhu. Why open journal access is important for scientific progress and what we can do to make that shit happen.
- 4 pm: Data hacking: Machine learning + NLP, Joseph Turian. I will answer questions about machine learning, NLP, scraping, data hacking etc.
- 5 pm: Closing remarks by Danny O'Brien
- 5:15 pm - end: Project demos! Show us what you've worked on this weekend.
Unscheduled / Unconfirmed Events
- DJ set by Chromatest J. Pantsmaker
- DIY Book Scanner workshop
- Field trip to look for hidden cameras in public places around the Mission
- Ilsa Bartlett is a "crisis counselor for highly intelligent people (geeks) who need someone to talk to and creates a container of quiet for people to fill with their issues." She will be around to provide counseling during the hackathon.
If you'd like to give a talk/workshop, add it to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ai2JAMm86EJbdFg1TW5tenNJSUt3X2dVVmQ3M08xSlE#gid=2.
Who's going?
(There's also a Facebook Event, if you are so inclined. Sadly, a Facebook login is required to access that page.)

Account of a Freedom School volunteer; July 9, 1964 Transcript Today is Thursday, July 9. The Freedom Schools have been in operation four days, since Monday. There are five Freedom Schools, located at five different churches plus another which is just getting under way by popular request. Enrollment is six hundred, plus - we have lost track. The schools run a morning session from eight to eleven; this session is attended by children from eight to eighteen. There is an evening session from seven thirty to nine thirty, which is primarily for adults, although some older high school students also attend. The courses taught stress Negro history and the constitutions of the United States and the State of Mississippi. Many students are enrolled in science and math, and typing is also extremely popular. Language skills are taught through the medium of writing; at present all the schools are preparing a newspaper. The Negroes here are extremely eager to learn and understand very well the ways in which they have been deprived. The concerns of daily life all reflect the pattern of segregation. My students have told me of bus drivers who are rude to Negroes; many of them ride the buses as seldom as possible. In my adult class, we read the Declaration of Independence, and they chose the grievances against the King of England which are the same as their grievances against the state of Mississippi. They think that the one-party system in Mississippi is as tyrannical as a Communist State. They think that the methods of the Ku Klux Klan are as bad as those of the Communist Party. We volunteers are exhausted. Teaching is unfamiliar for many of us and though exciting, it is exhausting. We manage, of course, without texts or any of the other aid teachers take for granted. We are proving that it can be done - all it takes to teach is students and a teacher, and lots of energy. We do have classrooms. The people are kind beyond belief. There are now over fifty volunteers in Hattiesburg, all housed with private families who risk at least their jobs; we are all very aware of the Freedom House which was blown up in McComb. This aspect of things frightens us far more than it does the local people. As one woman told me, "They used to shoot us and treat us badly just for living, so there isn't any point in being afraid when you are fighting for your rights." News of arrests are laughed at - not "what did he do?" but "What are they accusing him of?" Bob Beech, who is the leader of the Minister's Project, is in jail right this minute. He was charged with cashing a bad check, of which he is guilty. He called the bank before he wrote the check to ask if he had enough money to cover it, and the bank assured him that the money was being placed in his account right that minute. But it wasn't. His bond is $2500. We are wondering what effect this arrest will have on his work. He has been extremely successful in contacting people in the white community who are sympathetic, and he has also been useful as a driver. Other incidents: the night before we arrived, two cars parked in front of the office were shot into; the FBI was out in the street investigating when we got there. A car containing five white boys and one Negro girl was stopped by a sheriff, who spouted profanity and finally slapped one of the boys; the FBI is investigating that, too. Monday night a group of local teenagers unconnected with the Project was arrested for "disturbing the peace"; they tried to get service at a tavern which sports a "whites only" sign and were driven off by the owner with a pistol. Three of the boys were beaten by the police; the FBI is investigating that, too. It is funny to think of the FBI as our friends. But Hattiesburg is comparatively quiet and safe, and these things are pretty much taken for granted by us, as well as by the local community. We are staying with a Negro family who are also putting up two other workers - our hosts sleep in the dining room. They are old, but they are extremely involved in the Movement - our hostess is a registered voter and even attended a precinct meeting to choose delegates to the Democratic convention. The Negroes were not allowed to participate in this meeting, on the grounds that they had not paid their two-year poll tax. My hostess also told me that when she voted in the national election her ballot was labelled with her name and address and that she was not allowed to put it in the box; she is sure that Negro votes are not counted.
