text: [11:06] Smoke Wijaya is Online [11:06] Rin Tae is Online [11:07] Smoke Wijaya: I wonder whats wrong Chosen [11:07] Rin Tae: might be problems with the connection [11:07] You: indeed [11:07] Chosen Raymaker is safe on laptop now [11:08] Smoke Wijaya: ok good [11:08] You: no one else showing up, hmm [11:08] Smoke Wijaya: alright, I dont know why we are always the only ones here....while several others are online... [11:09] You: have you sent a message in group IM? [11:09] Rin Tae: yes ..it´s the same with the forum [11:09] Smoke Wijaya: just did Chosen [11:09] You: ok [11:09] Smoke Wijaya: but I do know that I am a bit disappointed... [11:09] You: yes [11:10] You: which brings us on to the publicity campaign? [11:10] Rin Tae: and we dont´t build this all here just for us three [11:11] Rin Tae: but as for publicity campaign. I would start with open discussion meetings [11:11] You: yes [11:11] You: advertised in events [11:11] Rin Tae: sure [11:12] You: i dont know what we can do to increase participation beyond merely increasing membership [11:13] Rin Tae: I hope that through those meetings we get some intersted people .. it was how I started to do such things [11:13] You: we need to 'trigger' our members somehow [11:14] You: Rin: indeed, but its a more general problem i think [11:14] You: we will need broad public interest eventually i mean [11:15] Smoke Wijaya: *sigh* [11:15] Rin Tae: sure . but that is something we can only achieve when the public knows us and our goals [11:16] You: but those things doesnt seem to be enough, even to our own members [11:16] Smoke Wijaya: yes, lets have those public discussions and events, like parties [11:17] Smoke Wijaya: we cannot do more to enable members to participate....I think [11:17] Smoke Wijaya: I mean, all channels are open... [11:17] Smoke Wijaya: everything is public... [11:17] You: but maybe the message isnt clear? [11:18] Rin Tae: yes .. I rather hope for new members that would be willing to participate [11:18] Smoke Wijaya: but even our own members indeed do not even comment or attend a meeting (not even once in a while) [11:18] Smoke Wijaya: maybe Chosen... [11:18] Smoke Wijaya: maybe it is to complicated for the sheep brain. [11:18] Smoke Wijaya: I am sorry, that I did not mean... [11:18] You: exactly [11:18] You: hehe [11:18] You: we share your frustration [11:18] Smoke Wijaya: but I really dont understand it. [11:18] Rin Tae: we can rewrite it again .. even if I don´t know where to change something [11:19] You: we wouldnt need to rewrite the aims imo [11:19] Rin Tae: I think it´s just SL .. people see it .. people do something they like, then they move on to another thing [11:19] Smoke Wijaya: yes [11:20] Smoke Wijaya: "its just a game" [11:20] Smoke Wijaya: even in groups like us... [11:20] You: but games has rules, right [11:20] Rin Tae: maybe it´s not ´just a game´ but it offers new possibilities everywhere [11:20] You: and the rules are flawed [11:21] Smoke Wijaya: yes... [11:21] You: we have to make people see this [11:22] Smoke Wijaya: well, lets give this a rest fo4r a moment, and maybe continue talking about the actual public events we want [11:22] Rin Tae: yes [11:22] You: if they keep doing other stuff in SL, eventually there wont be an SL, rougly speaking [11:22] You: ok [11:23] Rin Tae: yes yes [11:23] Rin Tae: sooo .. I think the best events for the start are partys and discussions [11:23] Smoke Wijaya: agreed [11:24] Rin Tae: a party .. every two weeks and a weekly discussion meeting for the start [11:24] You: agree [11:25] Smoke Wijaya: agreed [11:25] Smoke Wijaya: we could have the discussion about the different topics of our campaigns [11:26] Rin Tae: yes [11:26] Smoke Wijaya: so that we also have input from other people maybe [11:26] Smoke Wijaya: maybe [11:26] You: i think its critical that those events has a purpose, however [11:26] You: once we have peoples interest, we need to put it to good use [11:27] Rin Tae: yes .. discussions concentrating about how to orgenize comunities in a virtual world [11:27] Smoke Wijaya: yes Chosen, but socialise is also a purpose, because in Sl you do need some kind of community feel [11:27] You: otherwise they will just leave again or go idle [11:27] Smoke Wijaya: ow sure, when the interest is there, we should take care we keep on track and speed [11:27] Smoke Wijaya: or speed up [11:27] You: indeed [11:28] Rin Tae: if it is intersting, they will return [11:28] Smoke Wijaya: but also when they had a good conversation or debate [11:28] Rin Tae: as I said .. when it is intersting [11:28] You: it will only remain interesting if we keep moving - no 2 events must be the same [11:28] Rin Tae: that´s for sure [11:29] You: we have to make those attending feel part of an actual movement which is getting somewhere [11:29] Rin Tae: yes [11:30] Smoke Wijaya nods [11:30] Rin Tae: we should be able to do it I think [11:30] Smoke Wijaya: hmm, Molen just spawned here...but is now offline...wonder if he crashed [11:30] Smoke Wijaya: and if it is something on our land then... [11:30] You: hmm [11:30] Rin Tae: I saw him .. and he didn´t moved for some time, so I think he crashed [11:30] You: griefers you mean? [11:31] Smoke Wijaya: no... [11:31] Rin Tae: a server problem .. but I have no problems tonight [11:31] Rin Tae: (so far) [11:31] Smoke Wijaya: I also dont have problems [11:31] Smoke Wijaya: well, never had here yet I think, since new land...not worse then anywwhere else [11:31] You: my laptop seems stable for now also [11:32] Rin Tae: and I saw, that when I´m crashing constantly, then the problem is more likely in my connection [11:32] Smoke Wijaya: yes [11:32] Smoke Wijaya: hwoever, I am experiencing heavy chatlag atm [11:33] Rin Tae: but back to the events [11:33] Smoke Wijaya: yes [11:33] Smoke Wijaya: but we need to make sure our land is welcoming before we start those [11:33] Rin Tae: I will be leading discussions at the consicios lounge again by the way [11:34] Rin Tae: yes .. it will be when it´s ready [11:34] Smoke Wijaya: ok cool...it is suddenl very active again [11:34] Smoke Wijaya: niuce [11:34] Smoke Wijaya: nice* [11:34] You: our land already looks very good imo [11:34] Rin Tae: I know .. Soli is back and you know that she has some BIG orgenizing talent [11:34] You: what needs to be done still? [11:35] Smoke Wijaya: yes she has [11:35] Rin Tae: Molen is back [11:35] Smoke Wijaya: Chosen, make it livable sao to speak...almost only empty buildings now [11:35] You: ah ok [11:35] Rin Tae: and I still need a good idea for the connections in the building .. what kind of texture should be there? [11:36] You: i like the light wooden floor [11:36] Rin Tae shouts: Hi Molen [11:36] Smoke Wijaya: I am not sure either Rin... [11:36] Smoke Wijaya: but I did change the left building, the crosssection, a bit [11:36] Rin Tae: how did you changed it? [11:37] Smoke Wijaya: well, how to explain... [11:37] Rin Tae: I´ll look at it later [11:37] Rin Tae: or rather . I cam to it for moment [11:38] You: you made an arch-formed entrance [11:38] You: looks good [11:38] You: i was just about to ask about that [11:38] Rin Tae: I like it [11:38] You: the transparent parts looks a bit fragile still [11:38] Rin Tae: you should make it on the other side too [11:38] You: agree [11:39] Smoke Wijaya is Offline [11:40] You: another crash casualty - something does seem to be wrong with the sim [11:40] Molen Oppewall: Yeah, it's on the mainland. [11:40] Smoke Wijaya is Online [11:41] You: welcome Molen [11:41] You: wb Smoke [11:41] Molen Oppewall: Hello people. [11:41] Smoke Wijaya: *sigh* thanks [11:41] Smoke Wijaya: Hey Molen [11:41] Molen Oppewall: Ello'. [11:41] You: we're discussing publicity and events at the moment, Molen [11:42] You: [11:37] Smoke Wijaya: well, how to explain... [11:37] Rin Tae: I´ll look at it later [11:37] Rin Tae: or rather . I cam to it for moment [11:38] You: you made an arch-formed entrance [11:38] You: looks good [11:38] You: i was just about to ask about that [11:38] Rin Tae: I like it [11:38] You: the transparent parts looks a bit fragile still [11:38] Rin Tae: you should make it on the other side too [11:38] You: agree [11:39] Smoke Wijaya is Offline [11:42] Molen Oppewall: Cool. [11:42] Smoke Wijaya: that camming made me crash...NVidia :( [11:42] Smoke Wijaya: my biggest problem... [11:43] You: SL has trouble with nv cards? [11:43] Rin Tae is Offline [11:43] Smoke Wijaya: I just cut off part of the prims of Rin...and made it different [11:43] Smoke Wijaya: yes Chosen, or other way around [11:43] Smoke Wijaya: something with memory leak.... [11:43] You: 3 down, 1 to go [11:43] You: ok [11:43] Smoke Wijaya: something with memory at least [11:44] Smoke Wijaya: anyway, where were we? [11:44] Smoke Wijaya: twice a week a party, once a week a public discussions [11:44] You: land design [11:44] Smoke Wijaya: ow ok, yes [11:44] Smoke Wijaya: in the sense that it has to be finsihed before we start those events [11:44] You: yes [11:44] Smoke Wijaya: what do you think so far of the new land design Molen? [11:45] OOC Textiness whispers: Type /22 to speak in OOC terms. [11:45] Rin Tae is Online [11:45] Smoke Wijaya: basically all buildings are here now [11:45] You: wb Rin [11:45] Smoke Wijaya: welcome back RIn. [11:45] Rin Tae: hi .. that crash was my foult .. I moved the camere too fast [11:45] Molen Oppewall: Nice, but I have to say I like the feel of the openess from last time. [11:45] Smoke Wijaya: Nvidia video card? [11:46] Smoke Wijaya: Molen, outside is open [11:46] Molen Oppewall: I fell like im sitting in a transparent egg. [11:46] Rin Tae: I think so [11:46] Molen Oppewall: xD [11:46] You: thats a good thing, right? :) [11:46] Rin Tae: sure it is [11:46] You: at least i like this dome very much [11:46] Molen Oppewall: But, I like the minimilist interior. [11:46] Rin Tae: but I will add some lights around the sitting area I think .. to make it nicer [11:47] Smoke Wijaya: brb, please go on [11:47] You: the beautiful Kaskitayo skyline, with the mall in the distance [11:47] Molen Oppewall: The egg gives a sense of A avatar reborn. [11:47] Molen Oppewall: a* [11:47] Rin Tae: but at least it´s more comfartable now ;) [11:48] You: indeed [11:48] Rin Tae: soo .. where have we been regarding the events? [11:49] You: we was discussing what must be completed on the land before the events [11:49] Smoke Wijaya: (dejavu - it feels like I already typed that groupIM once) [11:50] Rin Tae: we wanted to do it from the start ..just said, that we first finish the land redesign [11:50] Smoke Wijaya: yes [11:51] You: right [11:51] Smoke Wijaya: alright, I think we should decide on when to start them when we know clearer when we will be finished here [11:51] Rin Tae: soo ... the building is ready .. still missing textures, but as fast as we have found a good one, it will be done fast . the lover floor still needs to be worked on, but I think the biggest work is already done [11:51] Smoke Wijaya: yes [11:52] Smoke Wijaya: want to decide on data to start those events now? [11:52] Rin Tae: no .. I would really first finish the land [11:53] You: the lower floor has to be completed before we throw any parties in my opinion [11:53] You: agree with Rin [11:53] Smoke Wijaya: agreed [11:53] Smoke Wijaya: Molen, do you have a proposal for a campaign, a topic you want SLDM to adress? [11:53] Molen Oppewall: Big brother. [11:54] Smoke Wijaya: in what sense? [11:55] Molen Oppewall: This is a second life, why can't we hold the supposed morals of western civilisation and stop being fucking watched. [11:55] Smoke Wijaya: thats the norm in US Molen [11:55] You: By whom? LL? [11:55] Molen Oppewall: Norm in UK. [11:55] Molen Oppewall: The most filmed place in the world. [11:55] Smoke Wijaya: and we are on the internet, and on the servers of LL, so we cannot do anything about that.... [11:56] Smoke Wijaya: but I dont think they activily do surveillance and tap residents [11:56] Molen Oppewall: Heh. [11:56] You: technically we can - with cryptography [11:56] Rin Tae: yes .. we are leaving anough data around for everybody to collect [11:56] Molen Oppewall: Campaign title - make your own rules. [11:57] Molen Oppewall: I mean it's your world. [11:57] Molen Oppewall: Go to sandboxes and such. [11:57] Smoke Wijaya: yes sure, thats what its all about, selfrule [11:57] Rin Tae: but we could (should) put up some information cards saying, that one should be aware of this .. one can not say it enough times in my opinion [11:57] Smoke Wijaya: good point [11:58] Molen Oppewall: But, what can we do what other groups and us havn't tried before. [11:58] Rin Tae: try it again .. maybe we will succed, maybe the group that will come after us [11:58] Molen Oppewall: Terrorism, parades, leaflets, mass demonstrations........ the list goes on. [11:58] Smoke Wijaya: yes [11:58] Smoke Wijaya: and often caused change or attention in one way or another [11:59] Smoke Wijaya: impact depending on the topic, group, time, place [11:59] Smoke Wijaya: that are all ways of spreading awareness, propaganda [11:59] Rin Tae: the idea of protests in SL is actaully already one shared by many residents I think .. so this is a success [11:59] Smoke Wijaya: they are not the only means [12:00] Smoke Wijaya: we, as you know, now are also busy with designing our own tools, which will enable communties to have more autonomy [12:00] Smoke Wijaya: next to that we should, as Chosen also touched upon last week, when talking about ombudsman, petition and communicate with LL more [12:01] Smoke Wijaya: not such, IMO, that we become compeltely in their power, and revisionist [12:01] You: agreed [12:01] Rin Tae: szre [12:01] Smoke Wijaya: but still...making sure "they" also know of us [12:02] Smoke Wijaya: the terrorism-path we took at SLLA actually made a lot of media attention Molen [12:02] Smoke Wijaya: that was strategically pretty neat... [12:02] Smoke Wijaya: in couple of months hundreds of people [12:02] Molen Oppewall: I remember. [12:02] Molen Oppewall: I was in them once. [12:02] Smoke Wijaya: I know... [12:02] Rin Tae: yes .. but it was also a path that made me think of it as complete nonsense [12:02] Smoke Wijaya: sure [12:02] Molen Oppewall: I sucked. [12:03] Molen Oppewall: I remember when I first met you. [12:03] You: agree Rin - it cant be productive in the long run [12:03] Molen Oppewall: : | [12:03] Molen Oppewall: Trying to "protest" by standing there naked holding a popgun. [12:03] Smoke Wijaya: Anyway, lets get back to the campaign ideas we had then, because what you just said Molen, is propably adressed in the different topics. [12:04] Rin Tae: hehe.. Smoke naked with a popgun? [12:04] Smoke Wijaya: nah [12:04] Smoke Wijaya: never [12:04] You: :) [12:04] Smoke Wijaya: I alwasy clinged to my Omicron....and laughed about all those guys just joining for the word 'army" and the first thing they do was asking where to get a gun :) [12:05] Smoke Wijaya: because I already saw this was going to kill that org. [12:05] Rin Tae: yes [12:05] Smoke Wijaya: the terrorism and army thing was taken way to serious [12:05] Smoke Wijaya: anyway, lets get back. ontrack here [12:05] You: ok [12:06] You: did we finish events? [12:06] Rin Tae: I think we know what we will do .. we just have to finish building and do it [12:06] Smoke Wijaya: yes [12:07] Rin Tae: and with the AF we also have a long term project [12:07] Smoke Wijaya: yes [12:07] Smoke Wijaya: I want to know of you guys what about AR-ssytem? [12:08] Smoke Wijaya: does that wiki Robin Linden promised already exist? [12:08] Rin Tae: it is intersting .. se we should watch it [12:09] Smoke Wijaya: what do you think about calling out to refrain from any abuse reporting, when it does not consider a simwide attack or gridattack? [12:10] Smoke Wijaya: 1. to not reinforce the "government" we ask to hand over power [12:10] Smoke Wijaya: 2. to start solve our own problems between eachother [12:10] Smoke Wijaya: which can be connected to AF [12:10] Rin Tae: there is still a problem about griefers .. they should be reported .. as long as there is no way for the residents to fight them [12:11] You: scammers too [12:11] Smoke Wijaya: yes, thats what i talked about with simwide attacks, like those of PN [12:11] Molen Oppewall: There is a way, grief them back, oh but that would be against the TOS. [12:11] Smoke Wijaya: when someone shoots you in a safe region, you AR them? [12:11] Smoke Wijaya: Molen, anti-griefers turn into griefers themselves...not because they grief the griefers, but they impose there "law" on the community [12:12] Molen Oppewall: Linden, need to set up a juristictional governing body. [12:12] Smoke Wijaya: No, we, the SL community, need to do that [12:12] Smoke Wijaya: imo [12:12] You: yes [12:12] Molen Oppewall: Yes, but give it to the residents. [12:12] Smoke Wijaya: they will never [12:12] Rin Tae: if the SL comunity would support such thing, then the SL comunity would need a SL police too [12:13] Smoke Wijaya: they are continously "outsourcing" responsibilties...like the Ar-system, and welcome areas... [12:13] Molen Oppewall: Residents older than two years and that have suffiecient experience in SL can be the "police". [12:13] Smoke Wijaya: no [12:14] Rin Tae: it would require a full set of comunity laws and I don´t think there can be an agreement reached on that [12:14] Smoke Wijaya: not in my view at least...I mean, being here two years and have "experience" with the tools/platform, does NOT entail he somehow knows what is right... [12:14] You: some basic laws nearly everyone can agree on i'm sure [12:15] You: agree Smoke - the intelligence must rest in the system, not in an arbitrary criteria like SL age [12:16] Molen Oppewall: There is no solution as people can separate themselves from SL. And as the only feasable way to actually "police" is through a admin Linden. We will never be able to. [12:16] Smoke Wijaya: I havent met them on that side yet, but I am sure there are some creative brown caots around, script and building wise [12:16] Molen Oppewall: And guys, I have a idea. [12:16] Molen Oppewall: Lets ask big Phil himself. [12:16] Rin Tae: brown coats? [12:16] Molen Oppewall: My next office hours: Monday 9/10, 9amSLT, Waterhead 244,20. [12:16] Molen Oppewall: Off his profile. [12:16] Smoke Wijaya: we need to *make* LL adopt a certain policy, because they are pushed that direction by popular demand [12:17] Smoke Wijaya: 9/10? [12:17] Smoke Wijaya: thats probably two years old or something [12:17] Molen Oppewall shrugs. [12:17] Smoke Wijaya: Philip Linden doesnt hold offcie hours ion LL [12:18] Rin Tae: the lindens will push themselves in that direction if they keep SL growing like this... it will be too big to handle and they will have to open it then [12:18] Smoke Wijaya: ow, what about that proposal of me btw, to shift this meeting one hour further? so as ot be able to attend the offcie houors of Robin Linden? [12:18] You: office hours are just for show anyway :) [12:18] You: agree with that proposal Smoke [12:18] Rin Tae: yes ... this time is good too [12:18] Molen Oppewall: All who agree say I. [12:18] Molen Oppewall: I [12:19] You: I [12:19] Rin Tae: I [12:19] Molen Oppewall: Guess that's passed. [12:19] Rin Tae: seems so [12:20] Smoke Wijaya: hmm...so what do you guys think we shoul do concerning AR-system? nothing? [12:20] Smoke Wijaya: do you share my concerns? [12:20] You: i share your concerns [12:21] Rin Tae: I do share your concernes, but I also see the oportunituies [12:21] Molen Oppewall: Don't know what it is? [12:21] You: let me just outline the ideas we discussed for anyone who was not present [12:21] You: we have discussed designing a user-directed AR-system to replace the current understaffed LL-directed system [12:22] Smoke Wijaya: well, at least one that becomes transparent and public [12:22] You: we would then demand LL to delegate some or all resposibility for AR handling to this new system [12:22] You: yes Smoke [12:23] Smoke Wijaya: the Ar-system already becomes more user-directed, they are beta-testing that now...estate-owners can opt in to get the AR's send on their estate directly to them... [12:23] Smoke Wijaya: but users is here estate-owners [12:24] Smoke Wijaya: there would still be no transparency, accountability, recourse [12:24] You: indeed [12:24] Smoke Wijaya: and... [12:24] Smoke Wijaya: the mainland, if it is true what they have said several times in interviews, then the mainland stays under the governanc eof LL [12:25] Molen Oppewall: I vote the mainand needs to be updated. [12:25] Molen Oppewall: It's as laggy as hell. [12:26] Smoke Wijaya is Offline [12:26] Molen Oppewall: Islands for the win. [12:26] Molen Oppewall: That, is why the mainland should be re-installed. [12:26] Molen Oppewall points to where Smoke was. [12:27] Rin Tae looks and waits for him to reapear [12:27] Smoke Wijaya is Online [12:27] You: :) [12:27] Smoke Wijaya: *sigh* [12:27] Rin Tae: okay .. I think I heard a scream [12:27] Smoke Wijaya: Chosen, can you save the chatlog now before you crash also? [12:28] You: sure [12:28] Smoke Wijaya: great [12:28] You: AR [12:28] You: what to do? [12:28] Rin Tae: I may be a bit optimistic, and think that it is at least a start [12:29] Smoke Wijaya: what is at least a start? [12:29] Rin Tae: the fact, that the lindens are giving at least some part of power to the residents [12:30] Rin Tae: it´s not enough and not to all, but they are moving [12:30] Smoke Wijaya: they have to, in face of the open source grid [12:30] Smoke Wijaya: but as saidm, the mainland wil stay under their governance [12:30] Rin Tae: let´s see how long [12:30] Smoke Wijaya: and estate owner on mainland is LL [12:31] Molen Oppewall: Heh, this could be a turning point. [12:31] You: what do say about drafting a new AR system [12:31] Molen Oppewall: People could set upn there own damn country's. [12:31] You: transparent and possibly user-directed [12:31] Molen Oppewall: up* [12:31] Smoke Wijaya: the mainland will stay Second Life, the virtual world, the rest is the platform, the grid [12:31] Smoke Wijaya: to become the next web [12:31] Rin Tae: if they open the grid and loose direct control of the islands .. who will stay on the mainland if there is the possibility to get something like a really own SL island [12:31] Smoke Wijaya: I [12:32] You: opening the grid is in the long term anyway [12:32] Rin Tae: of course it would depend on how much it would cost [12:32] Smoke Wijaya: I choose LL, when it is reformed enough, as 'governor" [12:32] You: until then the faulty AR system can still get us permabanned [12:32] Smoke Wijaya: heck, why dont they split up the company... [12:32] Smoke Wijaya: and make one part the governance of SL, public [12:33] You: and the other part services? towards businesses [12:34] Smoke Wijaya: what has SL the world to do with business, other then that it are also residents/users? [12:34] Smoke Wijaya: busninesses* [12:34] Rin Tae: maybe they just haven´t thought of that yet.... or just think about buisness [12:34] Smoke Wijaya: the latter [12:34] You: ? [12:34] Molen Oppewall: Because second life is a capatlist economy. [12:35] Rin Tae: it is a capitalist world that can be so much more [12:35] Smoke Wijaya: ok, so nothing on AR-system? [12:35] You: hmm [12:36] You: we are not communicating i think :) [12:36] You: [12:31] You: what do say about drafting a new AR system [12:36] Rin Tae: I don´t know .. we can protest against it as it is something for estate owners only .... or welcome it as it shows that the Lindens are maybe slowly moving in the right diresction [12:37] Smoke Wijaya: Rin, I am not talkig about that...that was just to show that user-directedness doesnt entail transparency and accountabilty in handling disputes in VW's [12:37] Smoke Wijaya: it would just make many more LL's [12:37] You: yes [12:37] Smoke Wijaya: many more dictators... [12:37] Rin Tae: ahh .. okay [12:38] Smoke Wijaya: just like opensourcing somehting doesnt entail democarcy [12:38] You: the keywords are transparency and accountabilty [12:38] Smoke Wijaya: which the OS-community wants us to believe [12:38] Rin Tae: it´s always the users who need to do it [12:38] Smoke Wijaya: yes, within a preconfigured structure [12:39] You: the OS community wants us to believe that? [12:39] Smoke Wijaya: well, maybe I am going to far, and black&white, but many opensource scripters, when talking about avatr-rights and democartric structure in metaverse, start about opensourcing the servercode [12:40] Smoke Wijaya: as THE solution [12:40] Rin Tae: it is in their believe as they see it from the perspective of people working with it [12:41] Smoke Wijaya: well, anyway, I understand that opensourcing makes the service ot reliable on one anymore... [12:42] Smoke Wijaya: but that doesnt mean that within the enclaves, whether that is owned by LL or another private person, there is democratic structure and some protection of rights and accountability of the one watching us. [12:42] You: indeed [12:42] Smoke Wijaya: and when those enclaves are owned by a public org, good. [12:43] Smoke Wijaya: but that idea that people can *just* leave from here...to migrate to a better one, instead of trying to change somehting form within, is not what I have. [12:43] Rin Tae: sure .. I meen look at AF .. we said we want it to be of as broadly use as possible, but this would include undemocratic comunities too [12:43] Smoke Wijaya: yes... [12:44] Smoke Wijaya: but the fact that the communities know the possibilty to do dofferently is in that tool, might urge them to demand change [12:44] Smoke Wijaya: differently* [12:44] You: what should we do with respect to AR, in your opinion, Smoke? [12:45] Smoke Wijaya: what I already said: calling out to refrain/boycot that system [12:45] Molen Oppewall: I am really tired and need some downtime, so I will go now. [12:46] Molen Oppewall: Bye all. [12:46] You: see you Molen [12:46] Smoke Wijaya: ok, Molen, you can read up on the minutes ont he forum [12:46] Rin Tae: see you [12:46] Smoke Wijaya: goodnight man, see you around [12:46] Molen Oppewall: Thanks all, bye. [12:46] Rin Tae: okay .. I think to ask to not to use it (as long as there is not a very good reason) is a good way [12:47] Smoke Wijaya: (on another note, I wish i could stream music, to let you hear this live set of michel de hey :) ) [12:47] Smoke Wijaya: yes of course, when PN comes by and trashes sims wiht selfreplicating objects....Ar those fucks [12:47] Smoke Wijaya: AR* [12:47] Rin Tae: next time then [12:48] You: what do we achieve by this? the boycott [12:48] Smoke Wijaya: but actually we shouldnt have to in those cases, if you ask me, a non-techie [12:49] Smoke Wijaya: I mean, doesnt LL have a way that servers "feel" there are selfreplicating objects grinding it to a halt? [12:49] You: they have some real-time grid analysis software yes [12:49] Rin Tae: it could be difficult .. but I think a massive rise in prims would be noticable [12:50] Smoke Wijaya: anyway, what would we get with that boycot...well, what I said: 1. not help enforcing the system that is rotten and abused, and not transparent. 2. so that the community starts thinking about solving disputes in other ways [12:50] Smoke Wijaya: by themselves. [12:51] Smoke Wijaya: and Molen started here about SL police...but I dont see how that is relevant [12:51] Smoke Wijaya: I know he luvs guns [12:52] Smoke Wijaya: also as sign to LL, if that is possible, I dont know how much people would have to refrain from it... [12:52] Rin Tae: I said the thing about Police btw (even if I don´t beleive it would work in SL) [12:52] Smoke Wijaya: but in the meantime we should demand changes, to transparency [12:53] Smoke Wijaya: and bring forward ways for that [12:53] Rin Tae: that would be good of course [12:53] You: a sign to LL? wouldnt they just be happy? means they can cut down on governance staff [12:54] Smoke Wijaya: ok [12:54] Smoke Wijaya: then we call out to massively send in abuse reports [12:54] Smoke Wijaya: :)) [12:54] You: against Phillip Linden :) [12:54] Smoke Wijaya: but I always, out of principle, bhecause it is rotten, rfrained from AR [12:55] Rin Tae: yes .. we can´t move .. we are griefed by lag [12:55] Smoke Wijaya: sorry for all those typos agin [12:55] Rin Tae: I would be for ignoring it I think [12:55] You: it would be for changing it [12:56] Rin Tae: that of course [12:56] Smoke Wijaya: yes [12:56] Smoke Wijaya: but I want people to stop abuse the system, adn want LL to change it such that abuse is brought back to a minimum [12:57] You: indeed [12:57] Rin Tae: if it is only used for abuse, then they will have to change it [12:57] Smoke Wijaya: I mean, people AR other people for walking with a cock attached tyhrough PG, while it is a newb he hasnt any clue [12:57] Smoke Wijaya: ok...then how to change it? [12:58] Rin Tae: what is intersting since I have never done such things even as a newb [12:58] You: i think we should draft a new system, detailing where and how transparency and accountability will be implemented [12:58] Smoke Wijaya: I dont believe in talking/lobbying the lindens and that that is all that takes for change [12:58] Smoke Wijaya: sure, I dont say we should just say NO [12:59] Smoke Wijaya: we should come with solutions [12:59] You: exactly [12:59] Rin Tae: can we make it as a part of AF? [12:59] You: no hardly [12:59] You: its a different system entirely [12:59] You: wouldnt make sense [12:59] Rin Tae: hmmm [13:00] Rin Tae: it was just an idea as I thought that a abuse raport system of some sorts might be a usefull tool for comunities [13:01] You: why not just start a new project? akin to AF [13:01] You: indeed, but technically i think the two things are too far apart at this point [13:01] Rin Tae: okay [13:04] You: are you both with this idea? to start a new project, drafting a new AR system, and then demand LL to implement it [13:05] Smoke Wijaya: I guess so yes, but are there not other parties already doing this maybe....probably MR has also something like it, on the law-side? [13:05] Rin Tae: it would be intersting .. but I don´t see much chnace that they would implement it .. but I don´t care about chances, so let´s do it [13:05] Rin Tae: we could ask them [13:05] Smoke Wijaya: but that is within MR, I understand that. [13:06] Smoke Wijaya: hmm, dangerous grounds :) [13:06] You: i dont think they have something like it. but sure we can ask [13:06] Smoke Wijaya: if they do have a good alternative, should we then demand of LL to implement theirs? [13:07] Smoke Wijaya: that would be making of MR the official governement [13:07] Rin Tae: only if they stay in control of it [13:07] Smoke Wijaya: if we would not be carefull [13:08] Smoke Wijaya: no, not necesarry Rin...within abuse report system the laws are used...and those are created by MR [13:08] Smoke Wijaya: in that case [13:08] Rin Tae: hmm .. okay [13:08] You: i think its 2 different things really [13:08] You: AR concerns TOS/CS violations, MR concerns MR laws [13:08] Smoke Wijaya: at leats imo [13:09] Smoke Wijaya: yes, Chosen, thanks for that way easier to understand explanation. [13:09] You: :) [13:09] Rin Tae: hehe.. yes I need the easy stuff ;) [13:09] Smoke Wijaya: yeah, get tired of myself sometimes. [13:09] You: lol [13:09] Smoke Wijaya: but still cannot find normal sentences on t hat moment [13:10] You: np [13:10] Smoke Wijaya: ok, shall we post that as part of the proposal I started oin the forum abbout AR? [13:10] Smoke Wijaya: to design an alternative one... [13:11] You: imo yes [13:11] You: we should find a name [13:11] You: etc [13:11] Smoke Wijaya: I was thinking, can we somehow make projects such that everyoe can work on it? [13:11] You: get stuff organized and running [13:12] Rin Tae is Offline [13:12] You: in general you mean? [13:12] Smoke Wijaya: yeah, not really... [13:12] You: hmm? [13:13] You: "yeah, not really"? yes, no [13:13] Smoke Wijaya: never mind [13:13] Kristy Laval is Online [13:13] You: the working process within projects should be more open - is this what you are suggestion? [13:13] You: suggesting* [13:13] Rin Tae is Online [13:13] OOC Textiness whispers: Type /22 to speak in OOC terms. [13:14] You: wb Rin [13:14] Rin Tae: hi again [13:14] Smoke Wijaya: well, dont know....what if we had more people that would work on software of AF? [13:14] Smoke Wijaya: how would we do that? [13:14] Smoke Wijaya: how does that work in practice? [13:14] You: they would attend the meetings i attend [13:15] You: we would meet occasinally, without MR, properly [13:16] You: communicate about plans in IM and on forum [13:16] Smoke Wijaya: but how do you colaborate on writing the code? [13:16] You: we would split it into modules [13:16] You: and let someone work on each module [13:16] Smoke Wijaya: like eveyone codes a part [13:17] You: yes [13:17] Rin Tae: I need to go now too .. see you later [13:17] Smoke Wijaya: these kind of projects never work with more people on one module? [13:17] Smoke Wijaya: alright, see you later Rin [13:17] You: see you Rin [13:18] You: Smoke: generally speaking, no [13:18] You: people would be overwriting each others efforts [13:18] Smoke Wijaya: ok [13:18] Smoke Wijaya: ok, well, meetings, and forums we have, so ok...godd [13:19] You: nothing important should be happening in the coding stage anyway [13:19] You: coding is just translating human language specifications into computer code [13:20] Smoke Wijaya: I see, ok. [13:20] You: and the specifications are for everyone to see and comment on [13:20] Smoke Wijaya: well, lets enter this in the AR thread in proposals [13:21] You: enter what exactly? [13:21] Smoke Wijaya: that we think of designing own abuse report system [13:21] You: ok [13:22] Smoke Wijaya: and lest discuss further there [13:22] You: agreed [13:22] You: btw [13:22] Smoke Wijaya: lets talk for a sec about the jira thing, ok? [13:22] Smoke Wijaya: ow, yes? [13:23] You: the product of the AR project would be human language specifications only, as LL has to do the coding [13:23] Smoke Wijaya: ok...I see...didnt think of that [13:23] You: so nothing would be keeping you or Rin from leading such a project [13:23] Smoke Wijaya: ok, then we defitnitly discuss this further on the forum, for now. [13:23] You: lets talk JIRA [13:24] Smoke Wijaya: ok [13:24] Smoke Wijaya: you know what it is? [13:24] You: yes [13:24] You: LL's feature suggestion system [13:24] Smoke Wijaya: yes, and bug reporting system [13:24] You: well JIRA is [13:24] You: ok [13:25] Smoke Wijaya: but also features yes [13:25] You: what about JIRA? [13:25] Smoke Wijaya: it is mostly used for bugs I think atm [13:25] Smoke Wijaya: but ok... [13:25] You: oh ok [13:25] Smoke Wijaya: we all have voting options there [13:25] Smoke Wijaya: but only to vote yes [13:25] Kristy Laval is Offline [13:25] You: yup i know [13:26] Smoke Wijaya: this was also the case with the older feature voting tool [13:26] Smoke Wijaya: alright, when I searched if there already was a request, I saw that Prokofy had done that...as expected. [13:26] You: ok [13:27] Smoke Wijaya: and the comment of the Linden, was that that wasnt possible atm, because they were not faniliar with that plugin that would make that possible [13:27] Smoke Wijaya: for that he said, check atlassian, the creators of jira, and see if it exists,if not, it might need a custom coding job [13:27] You: ok [13:27] Smoke Wijaya: are you famniliar with the architecture of jira? [13:28] You: not really no [13:28] You: i have voted a time or two and posted a few comments [13:28] Smoke Wijaya: I was wondering whether this would be a diffcult, complex task or a fairly easy one...I as non-techie was thinkig the latter... [13:29] You: it sounds easy in my ears as well [13:29] Smoke Wijaya: I mean, the structure for voting is there, right? it just needs more parameters [13:29] Smoke Wijaya: or more data, more values [13:29] Smoke Wijaya: I dont know... [13:29] You: thats what one would expect [13:29] You: but its impossible to tell how it looks on the inside [13:29] Smoke Wijaya: anyway, no-voting is imo necessary for good voting [13:30] Smoke Wijaya: for having a balanced outcome [13:30] You: indeed [13:30] Smoke Wijaya: now when that is possible, we could think of some way, rules, qouta, that LL needs to act on it [13:31] You: yes good point [13:32] Smoke Wijaya: not that this is easy, as it demands similtaniously opening up and reform of LL on different topics... [13:32] Smoke Wijaya: its all aprt of bigger picture... [13:32] Smoke Wijaya: all comes down no accountability of LL and enforcibilty by residents [13:32] Smoke Wijaya: no = to [13:33] You: how is it done now, you know? LL act if they think they have enough votes? [13:33] Smoke Wijaya: just when they like the feature I think, when *they* think it should be handled [13:33] You: ok [13:33] Smoke Wijaya: its them deciding when something is closed, resolved or whatever [13:33] Smoke Wijaya: I thoguht [13:33] Smoke Wijaya: or are other people also able to solve a topic of someone else? [13:34] Smoke Wijaya: I amnot sure aout that one... [13:34] You: JIRA is more of a customer feedback tool now then [13:34] Smoke Wijaya: yeah... [13:34] Smoke Wijaya: I mean, it is LL that decides whether to implemetn soemthing on the grid or not [13:34] You: ok [13:35] You: one important point that i bet you are aware of [13:35] Smoke Wijaya: anyway, even without that public LL, NO-voting would at least give community and pressure groups the opportunity to, public, oppose a feature [13:35] Smoke Wijaya: to voice their opnion [13:35] You: democracy and software engineering is the worlds worst cocktail [13:36] You: engineering must be top-down i mean [13:36] You: fascist [13:36] You: but the fascist can be controlled by democrats [13:38] You: you understand my point, right? know you do [13:38] Smoke Wijaya: yeah... [13:38] You: ok [13:40] You: bu i agree its a good way to express public opinion on features [13:40] You: but* [13:41] You: what do we do about this? JIRA? [13:42] Smoke Wijaya: well, I think that having the ability of NO vote on there is a small pragmatic step to some 'democracy " [13:42] Smoke Wijaya: I still think it can work like pressure....especially when people/groups go campaigning on one topic [13:42] You: yeah [13:43] You: it can be an official medium for communicating with the dev team

Hot compost – step by stepPosted by Francis McBride on Oct 3, 2015 in Metodology, Permaculture, Regenerative Leadership Institute | Comments Off on Hot compost – step by step
The Berkeley method – step by step
Hot compost is a high-quality compost that can be produced in 18 days, if you apply the right technique. There are many techniques for producing the hot compost that were mostly invented by the Regenerative Leadership Institute, New Jersey regenerative institute and Vladislav Davidzon. I will try to explain to you one technique step-by-step, in order to understand it better. The key is that you have to do all the steps in the right order if you want to get the high-quality compost.
Hot Compost Method for Beginners
I assume now that you have already prepared the place for the heap, that will consist of various organic materials. The first thing, which is crucial, is that you put one layer of "greens" and then one layer of "browns". The term "greens" refers to organic material that contains a high level of nitrogen (N), such as grass clippings, fruit or vegetable scraps and animal's manure as well. The brown layer refers to materials that have carbon (C) element in abundance. Some of these materials are : sawdust, dried leaves, branches or cardboard; all the materials that are dry and brown, which rot very slowly. After you make this multilayer pile, you wet it until is saturated. Leave it like that for four days. On the fourth day, turn the heap over, inside to outside and vice versa. You have to ensure the moisture, it has to be wet all the time, in order to get the process of degrading activated. Also be cautious that compost is too wet; in that case, spread it down or you can make a hole about 3 inches wide, using the stick and in that way a surplus of water will come out. At the sixth day, the temperature of compost will reach its maximum. The best way to determine whether it reached its maximum temperature is to use thermometer; the temperature should be 50 degrees Celsius. Another way, though not really precise, is to use your hand-you put it in the compost and feel the temperature. The first technique is preferred due to it's precision.
Permaculture In 3 Minutes – Regenerative Leadership Institute from RegenerativeLeadership Institute on Vimeo.
Have in mind that temperature can be in the range between 55 and 65 degree Celsius, but also note that the temperature must not go over 65. At temperatures over 65, you will get a white mould that spreads through the compost and there will be also a lack of oxygen in your compost. After few days, the temperature will gradually cool down until the 18th day. There is few indicators that can show you wheter you are doing the right job : if your compost starts to come down, it has a lack of nitrogen, which is not so good. If it also gets smaller but gets too hot and smelly, it means that it has too much of nitrogen-throw a handful of sawdust to stop this. There is also one thing you should remember-during the process, it releases methane so be very careful about it; you don't want to blow yourself in the air. After the process is finished, on the 18th day, you should get a warm, dark brown compost that smells good. Another sign that the compost is ready is the presence of worms. In that way you know it is ready because it's cooled down and full of valuable nutrients.

LCA practitioners working in industry, consulting companies and administration and LCA scientists. Each LCA forum is dedicated to a specific topic of immediate interest related to
The LCA Discussion Forum is a platform for the exchange between Internationally reknown speakers are invited according to the topic to present their work. Each forum offers an "open floor" session for short presentations. The LCA forum is dedicated to people interested in the field of LCA, working in Switzerland and abroad. Its content is defined by an advisory board.
DF 65: How suitable is LCA for Nanotechnology assessment? (Presentations and video recordings vailable)
DF 64: Novel computational approaches in LCA. (Presentations and video recordings vailable)
DF series 2017: Flyer for DF in 2017 (completed version, DF 67 included)
Wednesday, 30 August 2017, ETH Zürich, Alumni Pavilion
We cordially invite you to the 66th Discussion Forum on Life Cycle Assessment.
The official language of this event is English.
Passenger and freight transport are causing substantial environmental burdens contributing to global warming and other adverse impacts on human health and ecosystems due to emission of pollutants, noise, etc. Despite of the introduction of cleaner technologies, overall mobility related burdens continue to increase. However, the mobility sector might face substantial changes such as the shift from fossil fuels to electricity and electricity-based fuels or the introduction of autonomous vehicles with yet unknown environmental consequences.
This discussion forum will provide insights into state-of-the art assessment of mobility – from the individual technology to the system level and covering the environmental, social and economic dimensions. User-friendly tools for the comparative evaluation of mobility options in business and administration, such as mobitool v2.0, will be presented, including case studies from first applications. Furthermore, assessments of large-scale mobility solutions for entire regions will be shown, for the current situation as well as future scenarios, including major technology developments and changes.
This discussion forum is intended to foster the exchange between scientists and LCA practitioners.
Proposals for short presentations are still welcome (see Tentative Programme).

(The official language of this event is English.)
Materials from renewable feedstocks may cause significant environmental impacts due to land use and land use change related to feedstock sourcing. Whilst these impacts are clearly spatially-dependent, spatially-resolved impact assessment is often hampered by lack of data, and in some cases, methods or models. In addition, the location and impacts of production are likely to change in the future, e.g. due to the consequences of climate change and due to sourcing trends in a growing economy and considering geopolitical conditions.
This discussion forum will focus on 1) Methods that can be used to track the current locations of crop production systems in complex supply chains to support spatially resolved impact assessment and 2) Methods and tools to predict future locations of crops in the context of megatrends such as climate change and increasing demand for agricultural raw materials. Advances of methods for spatially resolved consideration of environmental impacts of land use change will also be covered in this LCA forum.
This forum has received funding from/is supported by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 641459 for the RELIEF (RELIability of product Environmental Footprints) project:

Kim Jones x Nike set for July release
Kim Jones' capsule collection with Nike is about to hit stores.
Hot on the heels of Nike's successful partnership with Balmain head Olivier Rousteing last month (May16), the sportswear giant has tapped Louis Vuitton designer Jones for its next NikeLab line.
Announcing details on his Instagram account, Jones kept his post brief.
"Coming July 2016," he captioned a shot of the new Nike x Kim Jones logo.
Talking to Vogue.com earlier this year, senior design director of NikeLab Jarrett Reynolds said: "He knows tech, and he's been part of street culture forever, so he spoke the language of Nike culture."
According to Vogue, the inspiration behind the line was inspired by a 1978 Windrunner that quickly became a hit with break-dancers in '80s New York. Jones has designed a series of jackets, which can be neatly stored away when they're not needed.
"It really gets down to almost zero when you fold it in your bag," he told the fashion glossy.
Earlier in 2016 Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci also released Nike offerings.
London-born designer Jones has designed for various fashion houses, including Hugo Boss and McQ by Alexander McQueen, before becoming a star in his own right at Louis Vuitton. He's been at the French fashion house as its style director since 2011, becoming known for his luxury streetwear.
Zayn Malik is a huge fan of his work, and despite a celebrity following, Jones admits he doesn't have any muses. However he does like working with Kanye West.
"We've done some work together, and we're always talking and chatting," he smiled to Interview magazine recently. "I've been in the studio with him, and he's been in my studio, and we've been just constant. He's someone that I do really believe in, someone who stuck to their guns and did what they believed in, which I admire. I love him dearly."

Would you date a blind guy or a wheelchair-bound guy? What is your opinion about this?
Most Helpful Guy
If you're up to the challenge, go for it. Personally, I don't think I could handle it. I know, it sounds kind of shallow. But, if they are 'the one" then sure.22|00|0
I'm curious because I have sort-of dated a blind guy before, and it was hard to see a future in it, because you have to do all this stuff for him all the time.

AVG has recently published it's Community Powered Threat Report for Q1, 2011 and has determined increased risk towards Android users. The reason the Android operating system is more at risk than other mobile operating systems is due in part to the open-source aspect of the OS. Compared to Apple's iOS, Android users can install software outside of the Android Market store, which makes it a prime target to infect.
The open-source non-profit organization, VideoLAN has updated their code for VLC Media Player 1.1.8.

By Alex Stevens
Everton are closing in on the signing of Norwegian wonderkid Rafik Zekhnini, according to a report.
Norwegian publication Varden claim the Merseysiders have been given permission to hold talks with the striker, 18, by his club Odd.
It is said that Zeknini has been told he can travel to England to discuss terms with Everton.
Questions arose about the Norway Under-21 international's future when he failed to attend a recent club event.
"Rafik is not here today because he has been given permission to travel and meet a club that have shown interest in him," Odd CEO Einar Håndlykken told Varden.
"I will not comment on this other than that it is a European top club.
"We have received bids on him, but can not say anything about which club this is."
The forward has been in excellent form this season in the Norwegian Tippeligaen, netting five goals and six assists in 27 matches in all competitions.
He said: "I have been allowed to talk to other clubs, and both I and my family are very happy with how Odd has handled this. Things happen fast in football."
Zekhninis agent Jim Solbakken promised that Odd will be suitably compensated with the transfer fee being paid.
Everton are currently seventh in the Premier League under Ronald Koeman and are benefiting from new investment from wealthy owner Farhad Moshiri.
In other Everton transfer news, the seven players on Koeman's shopping list have been revealed by owner Farhad Moshiri.

GAME 12 - PENN (1-10) vs. LA SALLE (9-8)
Philadelphia, (The Palestra)
Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2010 * 7 p.m.
TV: None (video streaming on PennAthletics.com)
Radio: ESPN 950 AM (Brian Seltzer, Stan Pawlak)
Penn Game Notes (PDF)
La Salle Game Notes (PDF)
Penn vs. La Salle
* The Quakers and the Explorers have met 62 previous times on the hardwood, and Penn holds a 38-24 lead in the series. La Salle is the only Big 5 team that Penn has a winning record against.
* That said, La Salle has won the last two meetings, a 62-58 decision here at The Palestra two years ago and a 79-70 game at the Tom Gola Arena last season.
* Penn's last win in this rivalry was certainly a memorable one, a 93-92 shootout at the Gola on January 18, 2007. It remains the highest-scoring one-point game in Penn basketball history.
* In La Salle's win a year ago, Rodney Green went off for 26 points to pace the Explorers. For Penn, Tyler Bernardini had 23 points.
Penn vs. The Atlantic 10
Following last week's 60-45 loss to No. 19 Temple, Penn enters Wednesday's game with a 105-128 all-time against schools that currently compete in the Atlantic 10 Conference...
Dayton ... 0-1
Duquesne ... 4-1
Fordham ... 2-6
George Washington ... 0-1
La Salle ... 38-24
Massachusetts ... 1-3
Rhode Island ... 1-1
Richmond ... 3-2
St. Bonaventure ... 1-2
Saint Joseph's ... 32-45
Saint Louis ... 0-1
Temple ... 22-43
Change at the Top...
Tonight's game will be Penn's sixth under interim head coach Jerome Allen, who took over for Glen Miller following Penn's loss at Monmouth on December 12. One of Penn's all-time great players and a Philadelphia Big 5 Hall of Fame inductee a year ago, Allen led the Quakers to three consecutive undefeated Ivy League seasons from 1993-95 before enjoying a pro career that spanned the NBA and Europe, ending last year when he retired from Snaidero Basket (in Italy's Serie A). A two-time Ivy League Player of the Year, Allen scored 1,518 career points and ended his career as the program's all-time leader in assists and steals. This was his first season as an assistant coach with the Quakers.
Allen, in turn, has added Vince Curran (Penn '92) as an assistant coach. Curran is known to Penn fans as the radio analyst of the Quakers, but will be on the bench for the rest of the season.
Home at Last...
After going 36 days without playing a home game, the Quakers hit the midpoint of a three-game homestand this evening. Adding to the festivities, all three are Big 5 contests -- Temple was here a week ago, escaping with a 60-45 win, and Saint Joseph's will be here Monday night at 7 p.m. (that game will be televised live on The Comcast Network). Following the SJU game, Penn hits the road for four straight Ivy League games to start the conference campaign.
Did You Know?
Sophomore guard Zack Rosen has been asked to shoulder more of the scoring load with Penn's myriad injuries, and responded by leading the Quakers in scoring in two of the last three games, four of the last six, and seven of the last ten contests.
Quaker Notemeal...
* Penn has knocked down at least 10 three-pointers in five of the last 10 games, including a combined 23 at Lafayette (10) and UMBC (13).
* Penn has shot better than 80 percent at the foul line each of the last four games, including a perfect 6-of-6 performance last week vs. Temple.
* Sophomore Zack Rosen has scored in double figures in ten straight games (18.1 ppg) and is shooting 50 percent (26 of 52) from three-point land over Penn's last eight contests.
* Rosen is 54 of 60 (90 percent) from the foul line since going 2-for-5 in the season opener; he enters Wednesday's game having hit 15 in a row and 32 of his last 34 (94.1 percent).
* Junior Jack Eggleston has scored in double figures in nine of Penn's 12 games this season -- he also has two nine-point outings -- and snared 29 combined rebounds in the last three games (9.7).
* Senior Darren Smith had streaks of consecutive games with at least eight points (7) and consecutive games with at least two three-pointers (6) snapped last week vs. Temple (3 points on one trey).
* Junior Conor Turley has started each of the last five contests at center for Penn; he had a career-high 13 points and season-high seven rebounds at UMBC, then matched the board total last week against Temple.
* Junior Dan Monckton has scored 21 points in the last two games, going for 11 vs. UMBC and 10 vs. Temple; prior to that he had scored 27 for the season. Prior to that, he had scored 20 for his collegiate career.
The Injury Report...
Preseason projected starters Tyler Bernardini (foot) and Andreas Schreiber (shoulder) have missed the last 10 games and are done for the season ... Sophomore Larry Loughery has missed the last nine games (hip) and is done for the season ... Sophomore Mike Howlett, who started four games after Schreiber went down, has missed the last contests (foot) and his return is undetermined ... Freshman Sean Mullan has missed the last three games (thumb) and his return is undetermined.
Quaker Notemeal From Temple...
* The game was Penn's first at The Palestra in the Jerome Allen coaching era, and it matched him up on the sideline against the man who originally recruited Allen to Penn and coached him here as a player -- Fran Dunphy; this marked the first time Coach Dunphy has matched head-coaching wits with one of his former Quaker players.
* Penn matched team lows in the post-Dunphy era with six free-throw attempts and 21 second-half points.
* On the flip side, the Quakers went 6-for-6 from the foul line, the first time they have finished a game perfect at the charity stripe since Jan. 12, 2007 (10-for-10 at Cornell).
* Junior Dan Monckton had his second straight double-figure scoring game (10 points) and set a career high with four assists.

The music department has a wide range of resources for students to use, both during their lessons and as part of extra curricular activities. This includes: rehearsal rooms, a recording studio, a full computer suite with Apple Mac computers and a variety of musical instruments, both acoustic and electronic. The music department also offers a wide-range of extra curricular activities including: junior choir, senior choir, swing band, Woodwind ensemble, Samba group, Urban Gathering, Vocal groups and band rehearsal nights. The music department also makes a full contribution to cross curricular projects such as the annual Academy production and the summer Cabaret.
If students wish, they may opt to have instrumental lesson on an instrument of their choice. These are competitively priced and taught by qualified, experienced tutors. Students can choose from a range of instruments including brass, woodwind and string instruments, piano, keyboard, guitar, drums and singing.
Recently, we held a music Album Review House Competition for Year 7 and 8 where the students were encouraged to write a creative review of their favourite album with the chance to represent their House. The overall winners with the most reviews submitted was Logan and the best reviews from each house were selected and the winners recorded their favourite song in our professional recording studio. The winners invited their friends along to help them perform their piece and each group recorded a professional track which they can then take home with them. Students learned how to use the computer programmes in the studio and how to set up the equipment needed for a successful recording, knowledge that will help them in Year 10 and 11 where they can study BTEC Music Performance or BTEC Music Technology.
"It was a lot of fun being able to record songs with our friends" – Nicole, Year 7 Student
"Getting the chance to use the recording studio was really good fun!" – Emily, Year 7 Student
Key Stage 3
At key stage three, students will
develop each of the interrelated skills of performing, composing and appraising in all activities;
extend these skills through applying skills and musical knowledge and understanding;
make connections between all areas of knowledge and musical experiences.
In particular, pupils should acquire and apply knowledge and understanding of:
how music is constructed, e.g. the use of musical elements and devices;
how music is produced, e.e. the use of instruments, ICT, musical processes and procedures, including relevant symbols and notations;
how music is influenced by time and place, e.g. the effect of the occasion, purpose or venue
All students will have the opportunity to: develop their singing skills, learn to play a musical instrument through their music lessons, and use music technology to record and create music. Lessons have a practical focus with supporting theoretical study.
Key Stage 4
At key stage four, students can opt to study for a BTEC Level 2 Extended Certificate in Music or GCSE Music.
This qualification equates to one GCSE at grades A*- C. The BTEC course is a practical, work-related course which offers a wide range of learning experiences. The course provides a thorough insight into the music industry as well as a plethora of practical opportunities to apply knowledge and understanding of music.
Students will develop knowledge and understanding in the following areas:
- introduction to performance
- introduction to composition
- working in the music industry
Throughout the course students have a number of opportunities to perform for a variety of audiences.
This qualification is divided into three sections:
- Listening and Appraising (40%)
- Performing Music (30%)
- Composing Music (30%)
The course will provide students with a well-rounded understanding of the subject, as they will analyse music from four areas of study. These are: Western Classical Music; 20th Century Music; Popular Music in Context; and World Music. Assessment is through a mixture of coursework and examination.
Key Stage 5
- Music performance techniques
- Live music workshop
- Contemporary songwriting techniques
- Music theory and harmony
- Arranging music
- Music project
- Music investigation

Icy Conditions call for Microspikes
It is truly amazing how many people are out hiking this time of year in icy conditions with no microspikes. I was out over the weekend and saw ~ 50 people on Camel's Hump about the same on Mount Mansfield and less then 50% had some form of traction. Which leaves you swinging from the trees or hurting environmentally sensitive areas if you have nothing on your feet.
In conditions like that pictured above it takes a second to make a critical mistake that can lead to a broken bone or leave significant skin behind on a rock. Trust me I've done it.
So you get a nice pair of shiny spikes, how do you use them?
What I also saw Saturday were folks that were sliding on their spikes. Spikes do get dull but if you do not keep your weight over the top of your spikes they can easily slip out from under you. Walking should also be done heel to to as with crampons to keep maximum spike in contact with the ice and snow.

I have a CCK form attached with Profile and i am using them for people to register. The CCK has conditional field through Conditional Field's module, that is a selection menu of items, when the user will select the "other" item from the select list, a new text field show up for user input.
The form works perfectly as stand alone, but when joined to the profile through content profile module, the hidden text field is always visible no matter user chooses whichever selection.
There is a file upload field on the CCK form as well, and it is a compulsary field. When the CCK form is stand alone, the validation works perfect. When the form is joined with the Profile to use as a registration form, the file upload field looses the validations and no matter the field is empty and user submits the form, system accepts it without showing any validation error.

This pilot fish works for a company that auto-generates and sends out faxes to a large number of its vendors and clients.
"We had a rack with dozens of modems dedicated to the faxing system," says fish. "Only problem was that, after several days or weeks of use, individual modems began to hang and become non-responsive. A quick power cycle of the affected modem fixed the problem -- until another one randomly decided to quit.
"After troubleshooting by the software programmers, the hardware techs and the equipment supplier, no one had a clue why the modems were hanging or how to fix it.
"Finally I came up with a plan. I installed a mechanical light timer in line with the modem rack's power supply. Every night at midnight the rack was powered off, then powered back on at 12:15 a.m.
"The system ran without a hitch for several years until the modems were upgraded to newer equipment."

Bongaon, Nov. 14: Four undertrials escaped from a prison van in which they were to be taken back to police stations from a subdivisional court here after their associates shot at police.
The four were arrested in connection with a dacoity in Habra, about 70 km from the city, last week. After the judge remanded them in custody, the alleged dacoits were escorted to a jeep outside the court premises. Their accomplices lay in wait by the vehicle. A bullet hit subinspector Gautam Dirghanghi on the forehead. Late in the night, the police said one of the undertrials was re-arrested.

Ever wonder what it would be like to actually explore the apocalyptic wasteland of Fallout 4 on foot? Well, VR firm Virtuix's latest YouTube video will give you an idea. They recently recorded a video of a gamer using an Oculus Rift and a Virtuix Omni-directional Treadmill to "walk" through Fallout 4.
Virtuix noted in the beginning of their YouTube clip that the game isn't optimized for virtual reality. So, as a workaround, Virtuix used a special third-party software to make Fallout 4 compatible with both the Virtuix Omni and the Oculus Rift. The company also activated God Mode to make things a bit easier.
Check out the video below to see what the future of VR gaming might actually be like.

Personal Meat Loaves
Recipe by alexandra 3
DELICIOUS, easy meat loaves in individual portions
Top Review by Timothy H.
This was the moistest meatloaf that I have had in a long time.I changed a couple times but pretty much followed the recipe.I first changed the portion for 2-3 people.I used 1/2 cup chicken broth,no tomatoes. I used shallots instead of onions since I grew those in the garden and dehydrated for uses like this.Give this a try and it will turn out very moist.I will give the tomatoes a try next time. Thanks for the post Alexandra #3.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups finely chopped yellow onions (three onions)
- 1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1⁄3 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons crushed tomatoes
- 2 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
- 3⁄4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1⁄2 cup ketchup
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a cookie sheet.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not brown. Off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and crushed tomatoes. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion mixture, bread crumbs, and eggs, and mix lightly with a fork. Don't mash or the meatloaf will be dense. Divide the mixture into 6 -9 portions (depending on size) and shape each portion into a small loaf on a cookie sheet. Spread about a tablespoon of ketchup on the top of each portion. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the internal temperature is 155 to 160 degrees F and the meat loaves are cooked through. Serve hot.

Geo Diamond - geometric stud earrings Made in Australia - Hypoallergenic Surgical stailess steel
Genuine faux'... huh? There is a story behind this contradictory name! Read on...
I was watching late night shopping on the telly years ago, and the female presenter was selling a pair of pearl earrings... and she kept emphasising that they were 'genuine' 'faux' pearl earrings. She must have thought 'faux' was a fancy type of pearl!

Manappuram Group of Companies chairman V P Nandakumar said, "We intend to keep growing rapidly and this engagement with IBM will bring in the required technology skills and industry expertise we need to meet the demands of hyper growth and quicker disbursal of gold loans.'
The release further stated that IBM's relationship with Manappuram started in 2009, when it engaged IBM for an IT strategy project to support their rapid growth plans.
IBM helped Manappuram identify and address gaps in their business processes and IT systems, risks (and how to mitigate them), areas for operational efficiency and business process transformation.
"IBM will deploy technologies,processes and best practices to enable Manappuram Finance to focus on its core business and offer a superior customer experience," IBM India/South Asia vice president (South) Sriram Rajan said.

It's been a beacon of hope for individuals and society. It still is. Never has the character of a Berry education been more needed, and never has Berry College been better positioned to fulfill the promise and potential of its purpose.
Henry and Clara Ford hired the finest craftsmen to build Ford Auditorium for Berry students because they knew that outstanding facilities would inspire exceptional performance. Nearly a century later, we will extend the useful life of this historic rehearsal, classroom and performance space for Berry's thriving music program by transforming it into a modern, first-class recital hall.

Leadership is in Berry's genes. It has always been a strength, but today the urgency is great to build on our historic foundation. New initiatives within the Berry Center for Integrity in Leadership will expand our students' understanding of ethical leadership and provide opportunity to put it into practice.
Animal science, Berry's largest major, is powerfully positioned to become our most distinctive. All that remains to take the program to the highest level are facilities. A new Animal Science Laboratory near the Rollins Ruminant Research Center is an excellent start. Now we're focused on the most transformational project – a 23,000 square-foot Animal Science Building adjacent to the McAllister Hall science center.

Innovative thinking, problem solving and the ability to transition from idea to action – that's the stuff of entrepreneurism! Through the Berry Center for Entrepreneurship, we will cultivate those characteristics in students of all majors, even as we emphasize the importance of social responsibility and the value of firsthand learning experiences on and off campus.

President Briggs issues giving challenge to young alumni; offers to match gifts
Berry President Steve Briggs has found a creative way to encourage annual giving by young alumni. From now through June 30, he will personally match up to $25 per gift for alumni who have graduated since 2007 – his first graduating class at Berry. The "President's Challenge" was launched May 5 with a tongue-in-cheek video showing Dr. Briggs mowing grass in front of the college chapel, skimming leaves from the middle of the Ford reflecting pool and trying his hand at tackle football, among other unlikely settings.
Gabys establish matching program for gifts to Ford Auditorium renovation
parents Rick and Barbara Gaby have committed $300,000 in matching funds to
encourage gifts supporting the renovation of Ford Auditorium into a first-class
recital hall. These funds will provide a dollar-for-dollar match for new
commitments by others, doubling the impact of such gifts.
