Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In order for a medicinal product to get marketing authorization in Europe, it has to demonstrate a positive benefit-risk balance. Although this has been the cornerstone of the evaluation process, there is no standardised methodology that is used in this context. Recognising the need for a structured approach that can enhance the transparency and consistency in assessing the benefit-risk balance, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) began a three-year project in early 2009. This project consists of five consecutive work packages. The first four work packages form a research phase that aims to develop and test tools and methods for balancing benefits and risks of medicinal products. The fifth work package is intended for training and initial implementation. Currently, the project has completed its research phase, which recognised the usefulness of two levels of gradation. The first level is a qualitative approach, mainly consisting of a table listing the key effects of the benefit-risk balance and their uncertainty in a common and concise format. The second level, recommended for more complex situations, is a quantitative method that utilises Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to derive a numerical value for the benefit-risk balance. However, the implementation of MCDA in the assessment of a medicine poses some practical challenges that remain to be addressed in the last work package of the project.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2

Fans of Continental colon crashing.
A very serviceable Euro-smut offering featuring two scenes packed end-to-end with Old World-style choreographed cluster-fucking. The action inevitable turns anal, and when it does some actual chemistry seems to surface despite all the unlikely positions and for-the-camera contortions.
The talent on hand isn't quite of the flawless Continental sort which populates the wares of some European smut peddlers, but a few flaws make the ladies and gents featured here real and (hypothetically) accessible, and for many viewers, this will make the action all the hotter.

Re: Recommendations for a self-taught Perl programmerby NovMonk (Chaplain) |
on Nov 17, 2006 at 13:38 UTC ( #584725=note: print w/ replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
Thanks for this topic: ++. You've put it better than I, and saved me the trouble of asking myself. I'm in the same boat, only probably not so advanced. The only thing I would add to the above most excellent advice is, find a mentor. If there's a particular ninja in your group whom you really admire and with whom you naturally seem to "click", by all means approach that person and ask if he or she might consider some sort of formal arrangement. The advantage of that is, you have someone who knows how Your mind works, and who can suggest ideas and examples to you from things you are both very familiar with in your own work environment. It needn't be so formal that it takes up tons of time for either of you-- more just, "I'd like your help and advice, and I'd like you to feel free to jump in and suggest new directions I could take my study." You, of course, would still be doing most of the work-- you'd just have somebody to watch your back. And I third (or whatever we're on by now) The Pragmatic Programmer. If only to point out how much I still have to learn, it's been great. And the writing is very accessible and clear.

Tonight sees 42 weeks of training complete with what should be only another 6 weeks to go until my ultra race... and then the goalposts get suddenly shifted,again!
My blog has seen me through these 42 weeks of training - highs, lows and indifference. I didn't foresee just how the effects of endurance training, without any injuries, can still prove to be a blockade!
Hi all
As if I'm now almost at the end of week 32, that means I'm almost two thirds through my training plan. Please feel free to read my blog and scoff at my inadequacies!
SSING - Thank you!

Culture of Hong Kong

Hong Kong portal |
The culture of Hong Kong can best be described as a foundation that began with China, and became more influenced by British colonialism. After the 1997 transfer of sovereignty to the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong continues to develop an identity of its own.[1]

Cultural identity[edit]
One-hundred-fifty years of rule as a separate British colony, as well as political separation from the rest of mainland China have resulted in a unique local identity. Elements of Traditional Chinese culture combining British western influences have shaped Hong Kong in every facet of the city spanning from law, politics, education, language, food, and the way of thought. It is for this reason that many people in Hong Kong are proud of their culture and generally refer themselves as "Hong Kongers" or "Hong Kong Chinese", to distinguish themselves from the Chinese in mainland China (which developed independently).
Structurally, one of the first laws to define people's relationships was the Hong Kong Matrimonial Ordinance passed in 1972. The law set the precedence of banning concubinage and same sex marriages with a strict declaration for heterosexual relationships with one partner only.[2]
Other economic changes include families in need of assistance due to both parents working. In particular, foreign domestic helpers have become an integral part of the household since the late 1980s.
Traditional Chinese values such as "family solidarity", "courtesy" and "saving face" carry significant weight in the minds of the people. Hong Kong's mainstream culture derives from, or is heavily influenced by, the Cantonese from the neighbouring province of Guangdong, China. There are also substantial communities of Hakka, Fukien, Teochew and Shanghainese people.
Cantonese is the most widely spoken language in Hong Kong. Since the 1997 handover, the government has adopted the "biliterate and trilingual" (兩文三語 liǎng-wén sān-yǔ) policy. Under the principle, Chinese and English must both be acknowledged as official languages, with Cantonese being acknowledged as the de facto official Chinese language in Hong Kong, while also accepting the use of Mandarin.[3]
Religion and beliefs[edit]
Religion in Hong Kong is variegated, although most of the Hong Kong people of Chinese descent practice the Chinese folk religion[4]—which comprehends also Confucian doctrines and Taoist ritual traditions—or Buddhism, mostly of the Chinese variety.
According to official statistics for the year 2010, about 50% of the utter population belongs to organised religions, specifically there are: 1.5 million Hong Kong Buddhists, 1 million Taoists, 480,000 Protestants, 353,000 Catholics, 220,000 Muslims, 40,000 Hindus, 10,000 Sikhs, and other smaller communities.[5] A significant amount of the adherents of non-indigenous Chinese religions, in some cases the majority, are Hong Kong people of non-Chinese descent.
The other half of the population mostly takes part in Chinese folk religions, which comprehend the worship of local gods and ancestors, in many cases not declaring this practice as a religious affiliation in surveys. The traditional Chinese religiosity, including Chinese Buddhism, was generally discouraged during the British rule over Hong Kong, which favoured Christianity.[4] With the end of the British rule and the handover of the sovereignty of the city-state to China, there has been a renewal of Buddhist and Chinese folk religions.[4]
There are some distinctive holidays that are celebrated in Hong Kong as a part of eastern culture, and not generally in western countries, except among certain overseas Chinese communities. The most well known is Chinese New Year, which occurs approximately a month after Gregorian New Year, variably in late January or early February. Other events include the Dragon Boat Festival, where Zongzi is made by millions at home as part of the tradition. Dragon boats also compete for regional awards. Mid-Autumn Festival is another highly celebrated event, involving the massive purchase of Mooncakes from Chinese bakery shops.
Creative and performing arts[edit]
For participation or viewing, Hong Kong has available different kinds of performing arts, including drama, dance, music and theatre. Hong Kong is also home to the first full-time comedy club in Asia, The TakeOut Comedy Club Hong Kong.[6]
The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts is a teaching and performing institution with venues and campuses in Wanchai and Pokfulam
The Hong Kong Arts Centre, across the road in Wanchai, offers a variety of performance venues and galleries, and is supportive of other arts organisations.
Also, amid the city's intense economic activity are creative oases such as the Cattle Depot Artist Village and the Fo Tan artistic community.
Oi! arts center, in the historic Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, aims to promote visual arts in Hong Kong by providing a platform for art exhibitions, forums and other art-related activities.
Along with many government supported theatre companies. Hong Kong has also recently had a boom independent art groups.[7]
In 2014, Hong Kong had its first outdoor Shakespeare festival. Shakespeare in the Port performed at Cyberport.[8]
Cantonese opera[edit]
Cantonese opera is one of the major categories in Chinese opera, originating in southern China's Cantonese culture. The art carries a national identity that goes as far back as the first wave of immigrants to arrive from Shanghai in the 1950s. Sunbeam Theatre is one of the places that hold the tradition. Like all versions of Chinese opera, it is a Chinese art form involving music, singing, martial arts, acrobatics, and acting.
Pop culture[edit]
Music: Cantopop had dominated and become synonymous with local music culture since its birth in Hong Kong, but the gradual demise of Cantopop gives rise to other forms of pop culture, mainly Korean, mainland, Japanese and western music. Still, Cantopop enjoys popularity. However, the global influence of Mandarin has influenced the style. Mandopop from Taiwan is fast gaining ground. Most artists are essentially multilingual, singing in both Cantonese and Mandarin. Hong Kong English pop, Japanese, Korean and western music are too popular among Hong Kongers.
Television dramas: Locally produced television dramas by the two free-to-air networks of TVB and ATV were highly popular and had contributed to a unique cultural identity among the Hong Kong population and serve as a cultural resource for the Cantonese-speaking community worldwide. However, the gradual demise of ATV and eventually, TVB, because of their poor quality TV shows and dramas made rise from other Asian nations, namely South Korea, Japan and Taiwanese TV shows dominate the latest TV trends in Hong Kong.
Celebrity: The personal lives of singers, actors and celebrities in general are popular conversation topics and tabloid material. Hong Kong's thirst for gossip is not limited to local celebrities, but extends to celebrities from Taiwan, Japan and Korea. Many gossip magazines are also in circulation, and one of the most notable (or notorious) sections is the "HD Reality" section. Introduced after the implementation of HD broadcasting, the highly popular section shows HD photos of celebrities and analyses their attractiveness or unattractiveness.
Food holds an important place in Hong Kong culture. From dim sum, hot pot (da been lo), fast food, to the most rare of delicacies, Hong Kong carries the reputable label of "Gourmet Paradise" and "World's Fair of Food".
Hong Kong cuisine, which is influenced by western and eastern countries, is very diverse. Hong Kong also has its own style. An example would be Dai pai dong, Chinese style casual outdoor dining restaurant. Cha chaan teng came from bing sutt ("ice chamber"). Various set meals are served throughout the day for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. Meals include Hong Kong-style French toast, Hong Kong invented drinks, yuanyang, and lemon iced tea.
There are many special foods and drinks in Hong Kong. Hong Kong-style Chinese pastries are carried by most bakeries in Hong Kong, like egg tarts, pineapple buns, wife cake, jin deui and cream bun. Even pastel de nata, a Portuguese egg tart, is being sold in KFC, the fast-food chain restaurant.[9]
Hong Kong, nicknamed "shopping paradise", is well known for its shopping district with multiple department stores. Many imported goods transported to Hong Kong have lower tax duties than the international standard, making most items affordable for the general public.[10] Hong Kong is identified by its materialistic culture and high levels of consumerism. Shops from the lowest end to the most upscale pack the streets in close proximity. Some popular shopping destinations include Mongkok, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Causeway Bay.
The cinema industry has been one of the most successful worldwide, especially during the second half of the 20th century. It remains prominent despite a severe slump starting in the mid-1990s. Martial artists and stars such as Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee are known globally, especially in Chinese settlements overseas. Many have transitioned over to Hollywood, including Chow Yun-fat and John Woo. Hong Kong cinema has received international recognition for directors such as Wong Kar-wai.
Mass media and publishing[edit]
Hong Kong has two main broadcast television stations, ATV and TVB. The latter, launched in 1967, was the territory's first free-to-air commercial station, and is currently the predominant TV station in the territory. Paid cable and satellite television have also been widespread. The production of Hong Kong's soap drama, comedy series and variety shows have reached mass audiences throughout the Chinese-speaking world. Many international and pan-Asian broadcasters are based in Hong Kong, including News Corporation's STAR TV. Hong Kong's terrestrial commercial TV networks, TVB and ATV, can also be seen in neighbouring Guangdong province and Macau (via cable).
Magazine and newspaper publishers distribute and print in numerous languages like Chinese and English. The printed media, especially tabloids but also broadsheet newspapers, lean heavily on sensationalism and celebrity gossips. While the practice is criticised, it continues to sell papers. The media is relatively free from government interference compared to that of mainland China, and newspapers are often politicised; some show scepticism toward the Chinese government in Beijing.[11]
Manhua are Hong Kong based comic books that have provided an avenue of expression long before the arrival of television. While readership has fluctuated throughout different decades, the art is one of the most consistent in terms of providing highly affordable entertainment. Manhuas are regularly available at news stands in most street corners. Characteristics of Old Master Q, Chinese hero and many others have undoubtedly showcased Chinese artwork and stories. Japanese manga have also been translated and fused into local manhua libraries.
While Hong Kong has had an endless supply from Japanese anime and US Disney animations, China has been trying hard to revitalise the industry. Hong Kong has made contributions in recent years with productions like A Chinese Ghost Story: The Tsui Hark Animation and DragonBlade. Most notably, companies like Imagi Animation Studios located directly in the territory are now pushing 3D-CG animations into the market. Most anime are broadcast early on weekend mornings.
With limited land resource available, Hong Kong continues to offer recreational and competitive sports. Locally sports in Hong Kong is described as "Club Life". Internationally, Hong Kong has participated in Olympic Games, and numerous other Asian Games events. Major multipurpose venues like Hong Kong Coliseum are found. Others include regular citizen facilities like Macpherson Stadium.
Martial arts[edit]
Martial arts in Hong Kong is accepted as a form of entertainment or exercise. T'ai chi is one of the most popular, especially among the elderly. Groups of people practise the motions in every park at dawn. Many forms of martial arts were also passed down from different generations of Chinese ancestry. Styles like praying mantis, snake fist and Crane are some of the more recognised. The atmosphere is also distinct as people practise outdoor in peaks next to ultra modern high rise buildings.
When not at work, Hongkongers devote much time to leisure. Mahjong is a popular social activity, and family and friends may play for hours at festivals and on public holidays in homes and mahjong parlours. The sight of elderly men playing Chinese chess in public parks, surrounded by watching crowds, is common. Other board games such as Chinese checkers are also enjoyed by people of all ages. Among teenagers, shopping, eating out, karaoke and video games are common, with Japan being a major source of digital entertainmment for cultural and proximity reasons; there are also popular local inventions such as Little Fighter Online.
In the past, Hong Kong had some of the most up-to-date arcade games available outside of Japan. Negative associations were drawn between triads and video game arcades. Nowadays, soaring popularity of home video game consoles have somewhat diminished arcade culture.
Outdoor activities such as hiking, barbecues and watersports are also popular due to the local geography.
Chess is run by the Hong Kong Chess Federation.
Gambling is popular in Chinese culture and Hong Kong is no different. Gambling is legal only at three established and licensed institutions approved and supervised by the government of Hong Kong: horse racing (in Happy Valley and Sha Tin), the Mark Six lottery, and recently, football (soccer) betting.
Games such as mahjong and many types of card games can be played for pleasure or with money at stake, with many mahjong parlours available. However, mahjong parlours are slowly decreasing as licences are no longer obtainable and as a result many old mahjong parlours have been forced to close. Movies such as the 1980s God of Gamblers have given a rather glamorous image to gambling in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Jockey Club[edit]
The Hong Kong Jockey Club provides a major avenue for horse racing and gambling to locals, mostly the middle-aged. The club was established in 1844 by the British colonial government, with the first racecourse being built in Happy Valley. The club closed for a few years during World War II due to the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong. In 1975, lottery Mark Six was introduced. And in 2002, the Club offered wagerings for football world championship games including the English FA Premier League and the World Cup.
Hong Kong death tradition[edit]
The art of asking the dead has long been a tradition in Hong Kong. It is often common for those who are currently among the living to ask people who are among the dead about their lives. People bring about paper garments such as clothing, money and paper food to burn to those who have already deceased, in the belief that they will be able to receive them and have a better and more comfortable afterlife.
This tradition had started since the Spring-Autumn Warring Period in China, since 476 years BCE. This is a common ancient and traditional practice in China and Hong Kong. However the number of shops supporting this has since been on the decline as people are starting to believe less in luck and fortune nowadays.
When one performs the asking water practice, one pays a small fee to have someone place several drops of water on a table. The table then serves as the altar and portal into which the non-living beings go, and as such living people have a way in which Chinese believe they can approach the dead. Paper food, clothing and money is often torn into tiny bits, then burned and dissolved into the water, as though to give the money to those who have already deceased. However, this practice is very ancient and is no longer common in Hong Kong. Before, in the olden days when people were much more conservative, it was much more common to see people have "asking water" habits as people then were more religious and spiritual.
Another interpretation suggests that "Holy water" means money as the slang for money in Cantonese is "Holy water". Asking water is a symbolic meaning for the care which one places on one's ancestors and those who have deceased.

Title: | Backscattering of Laser Light from Colloidal Silica |
Author: | Nampoori, V P N; Litty, Irimpan; Dann, V J; Krishnan, B; Deepthy, A; Radhakrishnan, P |
Abstract: | Light-scattering experiments gained prominence as potential applications of quantum optics, nonlinear optics, and photon localization. The possibility of the realization of lasing action in random media has created much interest in the study of the coherent structure of the backscattered light from disordered media. Backscattering (BS) studies are carried out to analyze the possibilities of photon localization in colloidal silica. The scattering enhancement is best associated with the density of the scatterers. The width of the BS cone and, hence, the mean-free path is related to the concentration of the medium. The dependence of the photon wavelength on the possible characteristics of the scattering is presented. |

Comments about Delta Pro 96 in. Aluminum Topside Truck Box (Steel):
These topside boxes are far too light weight and damage easily even though they are supposed to be top of the line. Two of three we ordered were damaged on delivery. CPO was excellent in making good and getting replacements ordered! These "Delta Pro" are anything but professional grade. Additionally, the lock assembly takes up a lot of space inside the box.

OpenSensorData.net is a hosting service where you can store streams of data that come from any sensor or sensor networks. The use of OpenSensorData.net is free (like in free beer). And the software is Free (like in freedom), under the GPLv3. You can download the code and install it on your own servers (requirements: Apache/PHP/MySQL).
The first thing that is important to know is that we store all the data that you upload to OpenSensorData.net (that's what it's for) AND that we make all of this data freely available to any one under the Open Database License. The full text of the Open Database License can be found at http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/. Any rights in individual contents of the database are licensed under the Database Contents License whose text can be found http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/dbcl/. If you find it difficult to comply with this, then you should set up your own data servers.
The second important thing is that at any time you can ask us to remove ALL of the data associated with your account. We will make it possible for you to do this yourself in the future. For now, however, you have to send your request by email to the following address: someone AT opensensordata.net.
The source code of OpenSensorData.net is available under version 3 of the GNU General Public License. That means you can use, study, and modify it, and that you redistribute modified copies of the source code. The lastest version of the code is available here.
A datapoint consists of the time at which the measurement took place and its output value. For example, on Sunday, March 3rd 2013, at 11.55 am, the temperature sensor at my home measured 8.63 degrees celsius. The data point consists of the date (2013-03-10 11:55:00, for the precise format of the date, see details below), and its value (8.63).
A datastream is a series of datapoints. To add a datapoint to a datastream, you must first create the datastream. The minimum information you have to specify is a name, but a longer discription is welcome to. In addition, you can add information such as the geographical location of the sensor, and the timezone in which it is situated. All datastreams have a number that uniquely identifies it. To add a datapoint you must specify the datastream in which you want to insert it. You can pass along the datastream id, but there are other ways too (see "Upload your data").
A group is a set of datastreams that you would like to keep together. Nearly all sensor boxes or data loggers will generate several datastreams and it obvious that you want to work with these datastreams together. Groups are flexible and it is also possible to create a group to bundle datastreams from different locations and from different users.
The creation of datastreams and groups is handled in the next section.
In most cases, you will not have to create groups and datastreams yourself. If the sensor box that user OpenSensorData is well designed, you should only provide the API key and a group name, and the device or software will create the group and its datastreams automagically.
In the short future, we will provide a online editor to manipulate groups and datastreams, however.
To create a groups and its datastreams, you must send a JSON description to the server over HTTP. Note that you must always specify the API kay in the X-OpenSensorData-Key header. The group definition contains a name and a description. A name can only be used once per account to label a group. So if I have a sensor box and it uses group name 'greenhouse', if I install a second greenhouse I will have to choose another name.
The set of datagroups are coded in a JSON array, and for each you must provide its name and description. The datagroups will be automatically created for you.
The following example shows the complete HTTP request, with the headers, following by and empty line, and then the JSON description in the body.
A simple way to create the group, is to use telnet, connect to opensensordata.net on port 80, and then copy/paste the example above.
It is possible to add geolocation data to the datastream description. This allows the datastream to be positioned on a map. two extra fields are used, the longitude and latitude. You can specify a timezone. This can be useful for devices without a real-time clock. Lastly, you can specify a the unit in which the value is measured. For a complete list of currently supported units, see the list at the end of the documentation.
All the error handling in OpenSensorData.net is handled through the HTTP status codes. This makes it easier to communicate to the server in scripts. Status code 200 indicates that the request was handled successfully. Pretty much anything else will indicate an error. The body of the response will then contain a simple plain text error message.
If all goes well, the request above should have returned:
As you can see, the server returns the same JSON structure, but with an additional ID field for the group and the new datastreams. These IDs uniquely define the objects and can be used in other requests, to upload data, for example.
Variations of the PUT request can be used to modify the definition of an existing group. To update a group, or datastream, you must explicitely specify the IDs. In result of the following request, the name of the group will be changed from 'greenhouse' to 'SmallGreenhouse'. Note that no definition of the datastreams is given. As a result, no changes to the set of datastreams of the group will be made. The server response will contain the complete description of the group in JSON, like above.
Had we given a description of the group's datstreams, then these would have been updated, too. For example, you can remove all the datastreams from the group using the request below, in which the datastreams field is explicitely set to an empty array. The datastreams themselves will not be deleted. They will simply be dissociated from the group.
It is not necessary to create a group to create datastreams. Datastreams can be created directly using a PUT request similar to the one for groups. The URL to which you must send your request is http://opensensordata.net/datastreams/. Here's an example:
The name of the datastream is unique for every user, i.e.. a user X can only create one datastream called Y. The response of the request above will return the JSON description of the new datastream, including its unique, global ID number. When the datastream is created, any follow-up PUT request will update the description of the datastream, except its ID.
You can upload a set of datapoints through the following URL: http://opensensordata.net/upload. The upload interface is designed to accept many datapoints that have been produced by a sensor device and that are uploaded through software, not by humans manually.
To upload data, you must send an HTTP POST request to http://opensensordata.net/upload, with all the datapoints in the body of the request. The format of the datapoints is the CSV file format (Comma Separated Values). This is a textual file format in which each line represents one datapoint. Each line should contain at least three fields: the ID of the datastream, the date, and the sensor value. All field values of the datapoint are separated by commas.
The following example makes this clear. The first five lines in the example are the HTTP request headers. You can pass the key of your account in the X-OpenSensorData-Key header.
The first column identifies the datastream. It is possible to mix datapoints of several datastreams together in the same request. The second column is the timestamp. OpenSensorData.net uses the ISO_8601 standard to encode the date and time. The last column is the value.
It is also possible to add geolocation data, for those of you who move around with the sensor device. The fourth column should contain the longitude, and the fifth the latitude:
The key of your account can be passed in the X-OpenSensorData-Key header. It is also possible to pass the key as a query string. The following example uploads a CSV file directly using the wget program:
The unique, numerical datastream identifier is the shortest way to specify the datastream. There is a second way to identify the datastream that is more human-readable. You can combine the account name, the group name, and the datastream name to identify the stream, as in the following example:
If the geolocation or the timezone is not specified in a datapoint, then the geolocation and timezone of the datastream will be used.
To obtain all the data of a datastream with ID [id], use the following URL: http://opensensordata.net/datastreams/[id].csv. We mentioned above that a datastream can also be identified using the account name and so on. This can be used here as well: http://opensensordata.net/datastreams/peter/greenhouse/temperature.csv.
If you want to select a specific time slice, you can extend the URL as follows: http://opensensordata.net/datastreams/[id]/[year]/[month]/[day]/[hour]/[minute]/[second].csv. It is not necessary to specify down to the second. Any intermediate range value will be exepted. For example, to get the data from March 2013, you can use: http://opensensordata.net/datastreams/peter/greenhouse/temperature/2013/03.csv.
If you use OpenSensorData.net for an application, you will probably have you own visualisation tools. Your app obtains the data through the URL explained above and displays the results in whatever way that makes sense. It is still handy to be able to inspect the data online at OpenSensorData.net. also so other people can view your data.
We currently use dygraph to make the figures. The URLs are quite similar to the ones above: http://opensensordata.net/viewdata/[id].csv. For example, http://opensensordata.net/viewdata/peter/greenhouse/temperature/2013/06.csv.
It is also possible to view all the datastreams in a group: http://opensensordata.net/viewgroup/peter/greenhouse/2013/06.csv.
Besides datastreams, you can also create photostreams to upload the output of image sensors. Photostreams are very similar to datastreams, except for uploading the data which must be done one photo at a time (see below).
The URL to define or modify a photostream description is http://opensensordata.net/photostreams/. Here's an example:
The name of the photostream must be unique for every user, i.e.. a user X can only create one datastream called Y. The response of the request above will return the JSON description of the new photostream, including its unique, global ID number. When the photostream is created, any follow-up PUT request will update the description of the photostream, except its ID.
Like datastreams, photostreams can be created and modified as part of a group. The processing of the group description, looks for the 'photostreams' field, which must be an array:
The JSON description of a particular photostream can be obtained using the URL http://opensensordata.net/photostreams/id.json. The ID is the unique numerical ID of the photostream, or the combination of the username, the name of a group, and the name of the photostream separated by slashes. For example, http://opensensordata.net/photostreams/peter/greenhouse/webcam.json, or http://opensensordata.net/photostreams/1.json.
For upload a JPEG photo, use a PUT or a POST request to the address http://opensensordata.net/photo/stream-id/timestamp.jpg. The stream-id is, like above, the numerical ID or the combination of user, group, and stream name. The timestamp is a concatenation of the date and time. For example, 20130511-170002.jpg. The year is coded in 4 digits, all the other fields use 2 digits.
The body of the request should contain the image data, without any additional information. This makes it easier for small clients to upload images. To push images from a shell script to the server, you can use, for example, the following command:
Currently only JPEG photos are accepted. We have also introduced some upload limits to reduce the exposure to software glitches or abuse of our service. The maximum image size is limited to 2MB and the maximum number of uploads that you can do per week per account is 100. If these limits are too constraint for your project, you should contact us and we will relax them.
You can retreive an image using the same URL as in the upload. For example, the image uploaded above is available at http://opensensordata.net/photo/1/20130524-154300.jpg. The server also makes a small (320x240) and a thumbnail (100x75) version of the image available. They have the "_s" and "_t" postfix, respectively: 20130524-154300_s.jpg for the small image and 20130524-154300_t.jpg for the thumbnail. The name 20130524-154300_o.jpg can also be used for the original image.
The list of images in a photostream can be retreived using http://opensensordata.net/photos/stream-id.json,txt. The first options returns a JSON array; the second the flat text with one photo URL per line.
The URL can contain a specific date, similar to getting the datapoints from a datastream. To get the list of photos from May 24th 2013, use http://opensensordata.net/photos/1/2013/05/24.txt.
For all requests, you should check the HTTP status code of the response. If the server returns "HTTP/1.1 200 OK", all went fine. Otherwise, the HTTP status class will give you idea of what went wrong. Most likely, one of the following three errors occured: unauthorized access, a bad request, or an internal server error. More details about the error can be found in the body of the response, which contains a plain text message, like in the example below:

*Edit redid the guitars, as last time I just went straight through my pedal, also redone some drums too*
Francis hates everything except metal!!1
