Post subject: writer looking for an artist (free)
hello im thomas,
im new to this whole thing and havent writen much but i have 5 ideas one of which i would like to see developed into a webcomic
the overal design and artstyle doesnt really matter too me but id like it in colour i do have some character specifics that can be descussed
i would like to have an artist who doesnt mind sharing ideas as i would like to use ideas from the both of us to make the comic better as a team
now for the five comic ideas i guess
1: this story is about a dystopian future in which humans and robotic humanoids by the name of "customs" which inhabit small villages that are terorized by shadowy creatures known as anomalies that have uncany and unique abilities but life chnges when a young fighter reveals that he is whats known as the "server" a legendary mixture of human and "custom" going by the name "bolt" little does everyone know he has a dark secret that flows in his blood
2: an average life for a young student as the woorld is watched over by a guild of creatures one day this specific student (unnamed as of yet) gets transported to thier base inside the sun (whereas the earth is relatively hot on the inside and mostly cold on the outside i the sun could be cold inside) the guild then tells him about a menace coming to earth they are sending to test the earths defences and that they are giving the kid the key to the only way they can stop the evil which is a huge robot know only as "27" a war breaks out between the two forces and allies and enemies are gained
3: the story of a pure warrior who must defeat 7 evil warlords based on the seven deadly sins each in thier own dimensions but as he kills each one memories come back to him as he slowly grows less and less pure he finaly learns that it was his destiny to replace the warlords and rule the land until he must revive them because a group of three teenagers each with magical unique weapons try to defeat him
4: the story of new camelot in the year z-100 in which the knights don mechanical armour and fight with phasor blades jousting on hover bikes done up to look like horses its a take of two kingdoms fighting in a strugle until a group of knights come from neither side to stop the war by killing both kings who have been curupted by power
5: a guy who while out in a park finds a strange device/box that when opened gives him the powers of all the different animal species (bird, cat/lion/wolf/dog, reptile, marine life, insectoids which he can only use 2 at a time making for some interesting combinations some evenmore powerfull than he could believe e.g, eagle + salamander = dragon powers) and he must battle the 215 lords of underworld each stronger and more terifying than the last(seems like alot but some he will fight like 7 at once)
i feel like i can offer something new to webcomics with my twisting and turning plot ideas i have built up in my head

To get an artist, you need to demonstrate that you are a writer worth working with. It is easy to claim to be a writer, harder to show that you're a good one - harder, in fact, to tell for yourself if you're good than it is for an artist to know if they are any good.
At the moment, you've not demonstrated that you're a good writer. Sorry, but that is just the case. You've not used a single capital letter in the whole post; your spelling and grammar, though certainly not nearly as bad as I have seen, leave something to be desired; and much of the post lacks punctuation.
If you want to demonstrate your skill as a writer, there are several things you could do:
1. Post a link to a comic you've already worked on. This not only demonstrates your writing ability, but also demonstrates that you have an existing audience, meaning the comic you want to start will begin with an initial audience predisposed in your favour. Of course, many writers looking for artists don't have that already.
2. Post a section of your script. A page or two of script should suffice. This shows the potential artist reading your post that you know how to write scripts, and allows them to judge for themselves not only your ability, but also whether they could work with you - some artists prefer to have detailed descriptions of what they are to draw, while others prefer to have greater creative freedom, and draw the action under their own initiative. So the amount of detail you go into in the script will let potential artists know if your approaches work well together.
3. Post a link to something else you have written, such as a short story or fanfiction, poetry, or an article. This will let the artist know if you can handle things like pacing, character development, sentence structure, etc. It's not as good as having some script to show them, but it will do something to demonstrate your ability as a writer.
4. Proof-read and check your post asking for an artist. By ensuring your post is properly punctuated, with correct spelling and grammar, you demonstrate that you know the rules of English and are capable of using it competently.
5. Develop your ideas in greater depth, and perhaps post fewer of them. What you've demonstrated so far is that you have some ideas, but when you've not even got a name for the main character, that doesn't say much about how well developed they are. An artist doesn't want to say they'll draw something, only to find there's nothing to draw yet. Plot out the story. Work out the characters. Write the first few pages of the script. Then, when you start communicating with the artist in private, over email or whatever, you can show them again why you're worth working with. Have enough of the story prepared that you can demonstrate your passion for it and inspire passion in the artist. Having the plot worked out in full, even if not in much detail, also allows the artist to see the end point, the desired destination, and gives them something to work towards, and an understanding of what you're trying to achieve.
I'll be honest. I don't think you'll find an artist from this post. But if you go and spend some time working through these issues, and then come back in a month or two or even six, having developed your ideas and improved the technical aspects of your writing, I think you will find it much easier to find an artist.
Good luck.

Thank you im sorry about the bad grammer and punctuation in my post, but as ive said im not used to writing im really new to this but i have some great ideas.
In the time i have had too look over my post i have decided to merge these together into one idea as i feel it would be too much hastle for someone too have too choose
As for a comic i've worked on before? Only one springs to mind but i only made three pages of it and never continued with it. Its a sprite comic but i asked a friend of mine to redo the art for page one.
here is a link:
I will also upload panel by panel scripts of each page to a website which i shall use as a way to back up the scripts

Chilari wasn't giving the original poster a hard time. She was providing good, constructive, advice.
If kingeckincat really wants to find an artist, the steps Chilari suggested are the best way of achieving this goal. Chilari is quite correct that it is very unlikely from his initial post he would find an artist, as the demand for free artists is higher than the availability. However, if he follows the advice she kindly offered he will inevitably have a much better proposal and at least stand a chance of interesting an artist.
Good luck with your project, kingeckincat.

When someone makes a report about the safety of your child, the police or a social worker must investigate. They have to decide if the court should get involved so your child will be safe and protected.
If the police or social worker decides your child needs to be in temporary foster care to be safe, they will take your child away. This can be because your child:
After your child is taken away
You must tell the social worker the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the other parent or relatives who can take care of your child. The social worker will get in touch with them to see if they can give your child a safe place to live. This way, your child may not have to stay with a stranger.

The two houses convene within the Florida State Capitol complex in Tallahassee.
The Florida Legislature is a part-time body, meeting only 60 day regular sessions annually with the possibility of special sessions as needed. Outside of these regular sessions, the members of both houses participate in hearings, town hall meetings and legislative discussions throughout the year.
As of May 2015, Florida is one of 23 Republican state government trifectas.
Article III of the Florida Constitution establishes when the Legislature is to be in session. Section 3 of Article III states that the regular session of the Legislature is to convene on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March of each year. Regular sessions of the Legislature are not to exceed sixty days, unless extended by a three-fifths vote of each house.
Section 3 also allows for the convening of special sessions, either by the proclamation of the Governor of Florida or as otherwise provided by law.
- See also: Dates of 2014 state legislative sessions
In 2014, the Legislature will be in session from March 3 through May 2.
Major issues
Major issues during the 2014 legislative session include creating a new budget using an $850 million surplus, a package of $500 million in tax cuts called for by the governor, Common Core and Medicaid expansion.[1]
- See also: Dates of 2013 state legislative sessions
In 2013, the Legislature was in session from March 5 to May 3.
Major issues during the 2013 legislative session included ethics and election reforms, gambling laws, Medicaid, sales tax and unmanned drone use by law enforcement.[2][3]
- See also: Dates of 2012 state legislative sessions
In 2012, the Legislature was in session from January 10 through March 9.
- See also: Dates of 2011 state legislative sessions
In 2011, the Legislature was in session from March 8 through May 6.
Session highlights
In 2011, the legislature reduced government spending and avoided raising taxes. Spending was reduced by $1 billion from the previous year, and $4 billion less than in 2006. Florida also removed 14,000 businesses from corporate tax income rolls. Areas that spending was cut included education and social programs. The legislature removed funding from a veteran's homeless support group, reduced payments to social workers by 15 percent, and spent $2.5 billion less on education than the previous year.[4]
- See also: Dates of 2010 state legislative sessions
In 2010, the Legislature was in session from March 2nd to April 30th.
Ethics and transparency
Following the Money report
- See also: "Following the Money" report, 2014
The U.S. Public Interest Research Group, a consumer-focused nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., released its annual report on state transparency websites in April 2014. The report, entitled "Following the Money," measured how transparent and accountable state websites are with regard to state government spending.[5] According to the report, Florida received a grade of A- and a numerical score of 92.5, indicating that Florida was "leading" in terms of transparency regarding state spending.[5]
Open States Transparency
The Sunlight Foundation released an "Open Legislative Data Report Card" in March 2013. Florida was given a grade of C in the report. The report card evaluated how adequate, complete and accessible legislative data was to the general public. A total of 10 states received an A: Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Kansas, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington.[6]
- See also: Redistricting in Florida
The Florida Legislature is responsible for redistricting. For state legislative redistricting, the legislature must first pass a joint resolution, which is then sent to the state Supreme Court for review. If it is accepted, the plan becomes law. If it is not, the legislature holds a 15 day session to approve a new plan. If the second plan does not pass the Court or if the legislature fails to approve a new plan during the 15 days, the Court has 60 days to design their own plan.[7]
2010 census
Florida received its 2010 local census data on March 16, 2011. The state population increased by 2.8 million residents, or 17.6 percent.[8] Going into redistricting, it was clear that Amendment 5, passed by voters in 2010, was going to have a major impact on the process. Amendment 5 established that legislative district boundaries had to be drawn in such ways that they establish "fairness," are "as equal in population as feasible" and use "city, county and geographical boundaries."[9]
The Senate and House redistricting committees introduced draft maps for their respective chambers in early December 2011.[10] The maps for both chambers were easily passed by early February and then moved on to the state Supreme Court for approval. On March 10, the Florida Supreme Court issued a 234-page decision rejecting the state's new Senate maps, while upholding the new state House districts and providing extensive interpretation of the state's 2010 redistricting reform amendment. The Court found eight districts unconstitutional and also ruled that district numbers had been assigned as to favor particular incumbents over others.[11]
The Legislature went back to work on the map, modifying 24 districts. The plan was then sent back to the Court, who approved it on April 27. Three days later it was approved by the U.S. Department of Justice.[12]
Role in the Legislature
- Main article: Florida state budget
By the end of February each year, the Legislature of Florida receives an annual budget proposal from the Governor. The annual budget proposal is for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1st. The Legislature then revises this budget over the course of the next couple of months. In April or May, the Legislature votes on a budget. For a budget to pass, a majority of legislatures must vote in support of it[13]
Recently, Florida's Legislature has passed unbalanced budgets. As a result of this, Florida's Director of the Office of Policy and Budget, Jerry L. McDaniel, had to send out a memorandum on October 12, 2009 to the executives of state agencies, advising them of an anticipated $2.6 billion shortfall for the upcoming fiscal year 2010 budget.[14]
- See also: Comparison of state legislative salaries
As of 2013, members of the Florida legislature are paid $29,687 per year. Legislators are allowed $131 per day for per diem, tied to the federal rate. Travel vouchers are required.[15]
When sworn in
Florida legislators assume office two weeks following their election.
The House is headed by the Speaker, while the Senate is headed by the President. The House Speaker and Senate President the assignment of committees and leadership positions, along with control of the agenda in their chambers. The two leaders are considered powerful statewide leaders and along with the Governor of Florida control most of the agenda of state business in Florida.
- President of the Senate: Mike Haridopolos
- President pro tempore of the Senate: Michael Bennett
- Majority Leader of the Senate: Andy Gardiner
- Minority Leader of the Senate: Nan Rich
- Speaker of the House: Dean Cannon
- Speaker pro tempore of the House: John Legg
- Majority Leader of the House: Carlos Lopez-Cantera
- Minority Leader of the House: Ron Saunders
The Florida Senate is the upper house of the Florida State Legislature. There are 40 members in the senate. Generally, Senators in odd-numbered districts are elected in years divisible by four (in tandem with U.S. Presidential elections), and Senators in even-numbered districts are elected alongside elections for Florida's statewide offices. In years ending in the digit 2, all Senators are up for re-election. Thus, odd-number district Senators were elected to two-year terms in 2002, and even-number district Senators will be elected to two-year terms in 2012. Each member represents an average of 470,033 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[16] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 399,559.[17]
Florida Senate districts are both organized by population over geographic areas. Although there are exactly three times as many members of the House (120) as in the Senate (40), the Senate districts do not consist of three Representative districts; the boundaries are independent.
|As of May 2015
|Democratic Party
|Republican Party
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Florida State Senate from 1992-2013.
House of Representatives
The Florida House of Representatives is the lower house of the Florida State Legislature. It is composed of 120 members, each representing a district. Each member represents an average of 156,678 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[18] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 133,186.[19]
Representatives are elected to two-year terms during even-numbered years. A representative must be at least 21 years of age, a resident of the district in which he or she will serve, and a resident of Florida for at least two years before being qualified to run for election. Once elected, representatives are limited to four terms.
The entire Florida Legislature meets every year in a session beginning on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March and lasting 60 calendar days. Special sessions may be called either by the Governor or by the leaders of both chambers acting jointly.
The Speaker of the House is elected by the representatives for a two-year term. The Speaker has the power to preside over the chamber during a session, to appoint committee members and chairs of committees, to influence the placement of bills on the calendar, and to rule on procedural motions. The Speaker pro tempore presides if the Speaker leaves the Chair or if there is a vacancy.
|As of May 2015
|Democratic Party
|Republican Party
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Florida State House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
Partisan balance 1992-2013
Florida State Senate: From 1992-2013, the Republican Party was the majority in the Florida State Senate for the last 19 years while the Democrats were the majority for one year. The Florida State Senate is one of 13 state senates that was Republican for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013. During the final three years of the study, Florida was under Republican trifectas.
Across the country, there were 541 Democratic and 517 Republican state senates from 1992 to 2013.
Florida State House of Representatives: From 1992-2013, the Republican Party was the majority in the Florida State House of Representatives for the last 17 years while the Democrats were the majority for five years. During the final three years of the study, Florida was under Republican trifectas.
Across the country, there were 577 Democratic and 483 Republican State Houses of Representatives from 1992 to 2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states had divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Office of the Governor of Florida, the Florida State Senate and the Florida House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
SQLI and partisanship
The chart below depicts the partisanship of the Florida state government and the state's SQLI ranking for the years studied. For the SQLI, the states were ranked from 1-50, with 1 being the best and 50 the worst. During the years studied, Florida achieved place in the top-10 in only one year (2007). The state had one Democratic trifecta in 1992, while it has had a Republican trifecta for a total of fourteen years. Florida's most precipitous drop in the SQLI ranking occurred between 2007 and 2008, when the state dropped from 8th to 19th. Florida also experienced a significant drop in the ranking between 2009 and 2010.
- SQLI average with Democratic trifecta: 29.00
- SQLI average with Republican trifecta: 19.00
- SQLI average with divided government: 29.71

WILMINGTON — Fans of the locally filmed CBS series "Under the Dome," and the area's film industry in general, will get to peek behind the curtain when EUE/Screen Gems Studios reopens its public tours this weekend.
The one-hour walking tours begin at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays and take guests around the 10-stage lot, including the opportunity to visit sets used for "Under the Dome," now filming its second season.
"The timing to just great to reopen the tours; and the 'Under the Dome' folks have been really receptive to the idea of being involved," said Pam Stilwell, tour director.
Stilwell has assembled a team of 10, including film and theater undergraduates and recent graduates from University of North Carolina Wilmington and Cape Fear Community College, to act as tour guides.
"The guides have an in-depth understanding of the film industry, so it will be a treat for the guests. A lot of them have worked as extras on local production and can add a new dimension to the tour," Stilwell said.
The lot's screening room — where directors, actors and producers screen footage shot at the studio — also will be a stop on the tour, where guests will watch a six-minute short video about the history of the studio.
Each tour will be able to accommodate approximately 100 people. Stilwell expects at least 1,000 guests will take the tour through May, based on recent reaction and interest the studio received.
The cost of the tour is $12 for adults; $10 for military with ID, students and seniors; and $5 for children 5-12. Tickets may be purchased with cash only upon arrival for the tour.
Tours will not be offered during the week unless groups of 20 or more reserve a date at least a month in advance.
Unfortunately for fans of Fox's locally filmed supernatural drama "Sleepy Hollow," which begins season two production May 6 at the studios, Stilwell said that, while they would love to have sets from the show on the tour, it is "not in the cards right now."
EUE/Screen Gems previously operated studio tours for 15 years, before concluding them in 2011 after the locally filmed drama "One Tree Hill" ended its nine-year run.
The tours will continue through 2014 and possibly beyond, but guests are encouraged to call ahead about fall and winter dates.
For more information about the tour, call 910-343-3433 or visit studios.euescreengems.com/nc/tours.

Troubled youth, homeless veterans, abused women, senior citizens, and other underserved groups in the Erie area received help and encouragement this summer from LECOM's Bridging the Gaps program. Twenty-eight dedicated and caring medical students from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine spent seven weeks in June and July working at 18 different community sites. They shared their experiences during a poster presentation event on Wed. Aug. 24 at LECOM Erie.
|Jason Black, a second-year medical student, worked with teen parents from the Erie School District's Student Parenting Program for his Bridging the Gap internship. Black became a teen father at age 17.
"Twenty-eight students is the largest number we've had since the inception of the program 16 years ago," said Raeann Carrier, Ph.D., who is in her third year as LECOM's Bridging the Gaps Director. Some of the LECOM students had first-hand knowledge of the organizations they helped. "We have a student parent in the program. We have someone who suffers from juvenile diabetes," she said. Dr. Carrier said those students were able to relate to the groups they worked with because they had once been in their shoes and know what they're going through.
Jason Black was one of those individuals. He became a teen father at age 17 and understands the struggles associated with teen parenthood. Black is now a second-year LECOM medical student. He and his wife have a seven-year-old daughter and two-year-old son. Black worked with about 40 teen parents through the Erie School District's Student Parenting Program.
|Raeann Carrier, Ph.D., has been LECOM's Bridging the Gaps Director for the past three years.
"It wasn't until they found out that I myself was a teen father that they would even begin talking to me," Black explained. "It was a very special experience for me to give back to kids in that position when I've experienced it first-hand and can tell them they don't have to give up."
LECOM student Shawna Kubasky worked with the Children's Miracle Network of Saint Vincent Health Center. She reintroduced Scrubby Bear – a character that encourages hand washing to prevent infection – and traveled to day care centers and pre-schools throughout Erie. Kubasky taught children about the danger of germs and showed them the proper way to wash their hands. "It has been an entertaining yet valuable learning experience to discuss an important health concern with young children," Kubasky said.
LECOM student Mark Bialas did his internship working with the Homeless Care Team at the Erie Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He said the veterans were easy to talk to and willing to express their opinions. "Speaking with veterans in the homeless care program, and visiting them in temporary homes was in many ways the most educational aspect of my summer experience," Bialas said. "A simple site visit can often teach you things a conversation never could."
|LECOM student Shawna Kubasky (right) explains her internship to a visitor during LECOM's Bridging the Gaps poster presentation. Kubasky traveled to day care centers and pre-schools to teach young children about the importance of washing their hands.
Dr. Carrier said the students worked 40 hours a week. They spent 32 hours at their community sites. The remaining eight hours were spent shadowing physicians in various specialties and hearing from speakers in the medical profession. The students told her the experience changed their lives.
"The students come into their second year with a different perspective on how they're going to interact in medicine once they graduate," Dr. Carrier said. "They spend the school year learning about the science and the medicine behind it, but a good physician is going to care for the patient as a whole. What's their home life? That's the basis of osteopathic philosophy – looking at the patient as a whole."
|Raeann Carrier, Ph.D., LECOM Briding the Gaps Director (left) poses for a group photo with students who participated in the 2011 LECOM Bridging the Gaps program.
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, LECOM School of Dental Medicine and LECOM School of Pharmacy offer innovative and affordable education in osteopathic medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. From campuses in Erie, Pennsylvania, Greensburg, Pennsylvania and Bradenton, Florida, LECOM provides student-centered pathways to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals. Prepare yourself for medicine as your life's profession.

They keep tabs on the retail climate, the pulse of commerce and act as the voice of business in the community, but local chambers of commerce say they are still under utilized and want the public to know all they have to offer.
"A lot of people don't realize that you don't have to be a business owner to join," said Mona Padrick, recently retired president of the Jacksonville Onslow Chamber of Commerce. "Anyone is welcome to join the chamber, so long as they feel that being part of the chamber works into what they want to do."
The Jacksonville Onslow Chamber currently has more than 800 members, a membership that has maintained itself over the years.
"We feel very privileged that our membership has been maintained," said Padrick. "A lot of that is due to the presence of the military, who helps keep our economy a little more stable."
Padrick refers to the military as the area's economic engine, making the Military Affairs Committee at the chamber one of its largest committees.
The committee determines how to best serve the military community, as well as give back and show support for service members and their families, through programs like Project Community Action Readiness Effort. Project CAREwas officially activated on Jan. 17, 2003, to provide assistance for military and community needs as a result of Operation Iraqi freedom. The program assists families with the challenges that come with deployment and also assists local businesses that may suffer due to large scale deployment by directing families to a list of members with services that they may need.
"The folks inside and outside the gate are intertwined so it's to everyone's advantage for us to have good civilian-military relations," she said. "It is also really important to say thank to the military and their families for doing what they do. We want the community to know that we are there for them."
The chamber has a Governmental Affairs Committee to work on behalf of businesses in the Jacksonville/Onslow legislative area as the voice of the community to local, state and national level. The chamber created the Forum Onslow series 12 years ago as a way to get information out to the community and recently hosted a forum for candidates for the Onslow County Commissioners and Register of Deeds.
"We're very proud of the series," said Padrick of Forum Onslow. "It's unusual for the chamber to take a position on an issue so we utilize the series to get information out to the community so that they can better vote on and generate solutions to area issues."
The Swansboro Chamber of Commerce's military affairs committee is also big on military appreciation, according to Donna Hammonds, executive director of the Chamber.
"One of the biggest events that we host is a Military Appreciation Day," said Hammonds, explaining that both active and retired military members and their families are welcome to the annual event, which takes place on the first Saturday in June. "We invite any members of the chamber who have a service that provides for the military to come out and show their appreciation by volunteering at the event."
The Swansboro Chamber partners with HammocksBeachState Parkfor the day and offer event goers free ferry rides to BearIsland.
"Last year more than 2,300 came out to the event," said Hammonds.
Chambers of commerce are nonprofit organizations maintained through annual membership dues which fund all chamber events. With six chambers of commerce in the local area, businesses and professionals have a variety of ways to connect with the community.
Individuals and businesses can apply to the one of choice and pay dues depending on which category of business or member qualification they fall under. Dues vary from chamber to chamber.
Mike Wagoner, president of the Carteret County and the Crystal Coast Chamber of Commerce, said he feels that chamber identification provides assurance of ethics and shows that its members are companies that have integrity and stand behind their products and services.
Leadership Carteret is one way the chamber helps businesses understand the community around them.
"Leadership Carteret is a professional development program for members to get a better orientation of the community," said Wagoner. "This program is most useful for folks who may be new to the community, as it takes them behind the scenes and helps introduce them to the movers and shakers of the area."
Wagoner also encouraged members to take advantage of the many networking events hosted by area chambers, such as "Business after Hours," to help members develop a presence in local markets.
"It is important to us to host networking opportunities such as these to help members come together to enhance their own visibility and presence in the market along with making new business contacts," Wagoner said. "We've seen that the members who are most successful at these events go in with a game plan, like meeting five new people at an event. The more people that know about your products and services, the more successful you'll be."

International Characters and Character Encoding of Requests
Internet standards support for international character sets was historically weak, is now improving, but is still not perfect. The current standards situation is confusing, and has led to false expectations about what can be reliably achieved using today's browsers, protocols and servers.
Jetty fully supports and implements the current relevant standards and specifications, but this alone is not sufficient to make working with international characters easy or reliable in all situations. This FAQ explains the current standards, provides hints and tips for building and decoding Internationalised web pages (including ones with dynamic data) and explains how Jetty has anticipated the probable future direction of the standards.
The intended readership is people developing Servlet applications and their associated web pages. A basic knowledge of Java, HTML and of hexadecimal notation is assumed.
Unless otherwise stated, the information below applies to all current (August 2002) standards-conformant Web Servers, not just to Jetty.
Primer and Terminology
There are four groups whose standards and specifications affect character handling in web pages:
- The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) manages the Requests for Comments (RFCs) which define the basic transportation protocols, including the HyperTextTransfer Protocol (HTTP) and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) with which we are concerned.
- The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) manages the HTML and XHTML standards, with which web pages are built, and the XML standard, used in Jetty configuration.
- The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which, among other duties, maintains a list of character encodings.
- Sun Microsystems, Inc. owns the Servlet specification, which is expressed in Java APIs.
The Internet was initially designed and constructed using basic English characters encoded in the 7-bit US-ASCII character set. This provides 26 upper and lower case letters, 10 digits, and a variety of punctuation and other symbols - it encodes 95 'printing' characters. Today, these are still the only printable characters which can be used in HTTP.
A single byte (8 bits) has the capacity to represent up to 256 characters. There are several widely-used encodings which give the US-ASCII characters their normal values in the range 0-127, and a selection of other characters are assigned code values in the range 128-255. In many web browsers the encoding to use can either be specified by the web page designer or selected by the user. Some of these encodings are proprietary, others specified by consortia or international standards bodies.
The first approaches to supporting international characters involved selecting one of these 8-bit character sets, and attempting to ensure that the web page source, the browser, and any server using data from that browser were using the same character encoding.
There is a default character set ISO-8859-1, which supports most western European languages, and is currently the official 'default' content encoding for content carried by HTTP (but not for data included in URLs - see below). This is also the default for all Jetty versions except 4.0.x. Alternative encodings may be specified by defining the HTTP Content-Type header of the page to be something like "text/html; charset=ISO-8859-4". From a Servlet you can use request.setContentType("text/html; charset=ISO-8859-4"); . Pages can then be composed using the desired literal characters (e.g. accented letters from Europe or, with a different encoding selected, Japanese characters). This mechanism can be unreliable; the browser's user can select the encoding to be applied, which may be different from that intended by the servlet designer.
Today the Internet is converging on a single, common encoding - Unicode - in which can be represented all known written languages, as well as a wide range of symbols (e.g. mathematical symbols and decorative marks). Unicode requires a 16-bit integer value to represent each character. By design, the 95 printable US-ASCII characters have the same code values in Unicode; US-ASCII is a subset of Unicode. Most modern browsers can decode and display a wide range of the characters represented by Unicode - but it would be rare to find a browser capable of displaying all the Unicode characters.
Unicode is the only character encoding used in XML and is now the default in HTML, XHML and in most Java implementations.
The Internet transmits data in groups of 8 bits, which the IETF usually call 'octets', but everyone else calls 'bytes'. When larger values have to be sent, such as the 16 bits needed for Unicode and some other international character encodings, there has to be a convention on how the 16 bits are packed into one or more octets. There are two standards commonly used to encode Unicode: UTF-8 and UTF-16.
UTF-16 is the 'brute-force' encoding for data transmission. The 16 bits representing the character value are placed in adjacent octets. Variants of UTF-16 place the octets in different orders.
UTF-8 is more common, and is recommended for most purposes. Characters with values less 0080 (hexadecimal notation) are transmitted as a single octet whose value is that of the character. Characters with values in the range 0080 to 07FF are encoded as two octets, whilst the (infrequently-used) Unicode characters with values between 0800 and FFFF are encoded into three octets. This encoding has the really useful property that a sequence of (7-bit) US-ASCII characters sent as bytes and then sent as Unicode UTF-8 octets produce identical octet streams - a US-ASCII byte stream is a valid UTF-8 octet stream and represents the same printing characters. This is not the case if other characters are being sent, or if UTF-16 is in use.
As well as having US-ASCII compatibility, UTF-8 is preferred because, in the majority of situations, it results in shorter messages than UTF-16.
Note that, when UTF-8 is specified, it not only defines the way in which the character code values are packed into octets, it also implicitly defines the character encoding in use as Unicode.
There is an international standard - ISO-10646 - which defines an identical character set to Unicode - but omits much essential additional information. For most purposes refer to Unicode rather than ISO-10646.
Characters included in HTTP requests
There are two places in which HTTP requests (from browsers to web servers) may include character data:
- In the URL part of the first line of the HTTP request,
- In the HTTP content area at the end of the HTTP message, resulting from an HTML <form method='post'...> ... </form> submission
Characters in the HTTP content part
Wherever possible, a POST method should be used when international characters are involved.
This is because the browser sends a HTTP
Content-Type header which can help the web server determine the encoding of the content. The
Content-Type header will tell the server the MIME-type encoding of the content (usually
application/x-www-form-urlencoded) and also can optionally include the character encoding of the content eg:
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8
If both the MIME-type and the charset encoding information is sent in the POST HTTP header, the server can correctly decode the content.
Unfortunately, many browsers do not bother to send the charset information, leaving the web server to guess the correct encoding. For this reason, the Servlet API provides the SevletRequest.setCharacterEncoding(String) method to allow the webapp developer to control the decoding of the form content.
Jetty-6 uses a default of UTF-8 if no overriding character encoding is set on a request.
International characters in URLs
A typical URL looks like:
When a form is sent, using the default GET method, the data values from the form are included in the URL, e.g.:
It is important to note that only a very restricted sub-set of the US-ASCII printing characters are permitted in URLs.
Something like
name=Dürst (with an umlaut) is illegal. It might work with some browser/server combinations (and might even deliver the expected value), but it should never be used.
The HTTP Specification provides an 'escape' mechanism, which permits arbitrary octet values to be included in the URL. The three characters %HH - where HH are hexadecimal characters - inserts the specified octet value into the URL. This has to be used for the US-ASCII characters which may not appear literally in URLs, and can be used for other octet values.
It is a common fallacy that this permits international characters to be reliably transmitted. This is wrong.
This is because the %HH escape permits the transmission of a sequence of octets, but has nothing to say about what character encoding is in use.
There is no provision in the HTTP protocol for the sender (the browser) to tell the receiver (the web server) what encoding has been used in the URI, and none of the specifications related to HTTP/HTML define a default encoding.
Thus, although any desired octet sequence can be placed in a URL, none of the standards tell the web server how to interpret that octet sequence.
The designers of web servers with Servlet APIs currently have a problem. They are presented with an octet stream of unspecified encoding, and yet have to deliver a Java String (a sequence of decoded characters) to the Servlet API.
Due to the lack of a standard, different browers took different approaches to the character encoding used. Some use the encoding of the page and some use UTF-8. Some drafts were prepared by various standards bodies suggesting that UTF-8 would become the standard encoding. Older versions of jetty (eg 4.0.x series) used UTF-8 as the default in anticipation of a standard being adopted. As a standard was not forthcoming, jetty-4.1.x reverted to a default encoding of ISO-8859-1.
The W3C organization's HTML standard now recommends the use of UTF-8: http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/appendix/notes.html#non-ascii-chars and accordingly jetty-6 series uses a default of UTF-8.
If UTF-8 is not correct for your environment, you may use one of two jetty-specific methods to set the charset encoding of the query string in GET requests:
- call Request.setQueryEncoding(String) before reading any of the content or params.
- set the system property
org.mortbay.util.URI.charsetto the encoding you want to use.
Handling of International characters by browsers
There are many ways in which international characters can be displayed or placed into browsers for inclusion in HTTP requests. Some examples are:
-
Dürst

-
Dürst

-
Dürst

-
Dürst;

- <input type='text' value='Dürst'>
-
- <form action='/servlet?name=D%C3%BCrst'>...</form>
- ...
It is also possible to manipulate document text using the DOM APIs.
It is believed that, in all the above examples, all modern browsers (those supporting HTML 4) will treat the &...; encoding as representing Unicode characters. Earlier ones may not understand this encoding.
The first example, with the literal ü, should only be used if the character encoding can be relied upon, and if support for 'legacy' browsers (those not understanding the &...; encoding) is essential.
It is, of course, possible for users to enter characters using <input..> and <textarea...> elements via the operating system. Text can come from keyboards, and also from 'cut and paste' mechanisms. It appears that most browsers use their current (user-selectable) 'Encoding' setting (e.g. in MSIE: View..Encoding) to encode such characters. After the User has selected the encoding to use, it appears that many browsers will transmit the data characters in the request in that locally-defined encoding, rather than the one specified with the page.
Techniques for working with international characters
The only reliable, standards-supported way to handle international characters in a browser- and server-neutral way appears to be:
- To specify the contents of the HTML page using &...; encoding and
- To use the <form method='post' ...> method of submission.
Need for GET-method support
It is sometimes suggested that all forms can and should be submitted using the above POST method. There is, in fact, a valid need to use the default GET method.
To appreciate this need one must consider carefully a significant difference between submitting a form using POST and GET. When using GET the data values from the form are appended to the URI and form part of the visible 'address' seen at the top of the browser. It is also this entire string that is saved if the page is bookmarked by the browser, and may be moved using 'cut-and-paste' into an eMail, another web page etc..
It is possible that the dynamic data from the form is an integral part of the semantics of the 'page address' to be stored.
The address may be part of a map; one of the data values from the map may define the town on which the map view is to be centered - and this name may only be expressible in, say, Thai characters. The town name may have been entered or selected by the user - it was not a 'literal' in the HTML defining the page or in the URL.
Another common need is to 'bookmark' or sent by eMail the request string from a search engine request which has non-ASCII characters in the search.
There is not yet any standards-based way of constructing this dynamically-defined URL - there is no direct way to be certain what character encodings have been applied in constructing the URI-with-query string that the browser generates.
A work-around which has been suggested is to provide additional, known text fields alongside the unknown text. In the example above, the form with the dynamically-defined town name could also have a hidden field into which the generated page inserts 'known' text from the same character set (using the &...; encoding). When the request is eventually received by a servlet the octet contents of the known field are inspected (typically by using request.getQueryString() ). If the characters of the 'tracer' field are the same as those injected into the page when it was generated (and the character code values encompass those of the unknown town) then there is an assumption that the encoding used was Unicode and that the town name as present in Java is accurate.
If the the actual encoding can be deduced from the 'tracer' octets, the Servlet API request.setCharacterEncoding() can be called (before calling any of the .getParameter() methods) to tell the web server which encoding to assume when decoding the query.
There is an obvious potential flaw in this 'tracer' technique - the browser may represent &...;-specified 'tracer' text with its Unicode values, yet may use the local keyboard/operating system encoding for locally-entered data. The author is not aware of any conclusive knowledge or evidence in this area.
An alternative work-around, which is more complex but might be more certain if GET has to be used, would be to use Javascript or the DOM interfaces to transfer the characters from the input fields to the query part of the URL string.
International characters in Jetty configuration files
Jetty configuration files use XML. If international characters need to be included in these files, the standard XML character encoding method should be used. Where the character has a defined abbreviation (such as ü for u-umlaut), that should be used. In other cases the hexadecimal description of the character's Unicode code value should be used. For example Α defines the Greek capital A letter. Use of the decimal form (Α) seems now to be unfashionable in W3C circles.
Future possibilities
It is to be hoped that something like the IRI scheme described in the Internet Draft will evolve into a standard that will be adopted by suppliers of web servers and browsers. It will probably also need changes to HTTP and/or the use of internationalised versions of the http and https protocols. As currently drafted, such a scheme would not, of its own solve the problem of dynamic data derived from form GET submissions. This will require changes to HTML4 or, more likely, extensions to a future version of XHTML.
The whole area of form data handling may be radically improved if the Xforms program is successful. This has defined an XML-based approach to forms and associated data and event handling and uses Unicode throughout. The Xforms 1.0 specification is currently (August 2002) at 'last call working draft' status, and a number of experimental implementations, some using browser applets or plug-ins, have been announced.
Neither of these likely developments will improve the handling of international characters by 'todays' browsers, so designers of web services for the 'open' market seem likely to have to work within today's constraints for a long time.
Anyone interested in the full complexity of handing international characters and languages might like to read the W3C's Character Model (currently a working draft) and follow the W3C's International Activity.

In the spirt of the holiday season, the West Point Parks and Recreation Department is doing a little giving of their own by offering the 2012 youth basketball season for free. Yep, at no cost, What a perfect gift.
Parks and Rec director James Crowley made the announcement this week to make sure that everyone will be able to have a little fun on the hardwood. The department already has a free adult league, so it made sense to carry it over into the youth division.
"If you work in this type of environment you have to have a passion for the kids," he said. "If you don't, your wasting your time out here."
Crowley said they already have an abundance of equipment; balls, whistles, score books and nets - which is where the majority of the fee that's paid goes to.
This year, as a way to keeps costs down, they have decided to use reversible jerseys with set numbers that can be swapped out and used again. The only catch is they will have to be returned every night. They hope to be able to offer other programs at reduced costs in the future.
"With the economy the way it is, kids aren't going to be getting much this Christmas," Crowley said. "When you see kids in a tough situation, you just want to help. This will be a great gift for any kid."
He said the same rules and regulations will be applied as seasons past as well as a draft for each age group. And as always, coaches are needed to help. There will be a clinic set for January 3. Games will be played at the gym at Mary Holmes College.
"We're not lessening the program, we're just giving them an opportunity to play for free," Crowley said.
Registration will continue until December 30. For more information, contact 494-3214.View more articles in:

Big Buck Hunter
I've been looking at getting my boy Big Buck Hunter for his Wii this coming Xmas. I've never played it though - only seen it at bars. Is this game suitable for an 8 year old?
Re: Big Buck Hunter
I used to play this for hours at a local bar with my buddies about 8 years ago... unless u want ur son playing video games all day every day I would not recommend it, this game is addicting! haha
Re: Big Buck Hunter
Funny coincidence Brit80, I came to the same conclusion after thinking it over. I shop early and ended up getting him a miniature wind power experiment kit. I'd rather he play with physical things and learn something while he does it. I'll still get him another gift or two but no video games for now.
Re: Big Buck Hunter
How did he like it?
Re: Big Buck Hunter
Thanks for asking DylanT. He loved it! I also got him a few cool gadgets for cheap thanks to cyber Monday sales online.

During these early months, you may have many questions about your baby's health. Most doctors have phone hours when you can call with routine questions, so don't hesitate to call with your concerns, no matter how small they may seem.
Of course, if you suspect illness, don't wait for phone hours — call your doctor immediately. As in the newborn period, illness at this age requires immediate attention.
You will most likely visit your doctor with your infant at least once every 2 months until your baby is about 6 months old. Not all doctors follow this routine, though, so ask about your doctor's well-baby checkup schedule.
Your infant is seen regularly to assess growth, feeding, and sleeping habits, among other things. These regular checkups also allow the doctor to follow up on any concerns from previous checkups and are a chance for you to ask questions about your baby's health or behavior.
During these early months, your doctor will check your baby's progress and growth. Common components of a checkup include:
Address any questions you have, and write down the answers or specific instructions the doctor gives you. At home, update your baby's medical record, tracking growth and any problems or illnesses.
At 1-2 months old, your baby will receive the second dose of the hepatitis B vaccine (HBV) if the first dose was given just after birth. With combination vaccines, however, the 2-month visit may be the first time your baby receives any immunizations.
At 2 months (and again at 4 months), your baby will be given several immunizations:
Babies at high risk of developing a meningococcal disease, which can lead to bacterial meningitis and other serious conditions, may receive an additional vaccine. (Otherwise, the meningococcal vaccine is routinely given at 11-12 years old.)
Some of these safeguards against serious childhood illnesses can cause reactions (usually mild), such as fever or irritability. Be sure to discuss side effects with your doctor and get guidelines for when to call the office.
Some common medical problems at this age may need a doctor's attention, including:
Again, don't hesitate to contact the doctor's office about any health or behavior concerns.
