Whether you hate or love HTML email, chances are good that at least one of the messages in your inbox today was written in it. There are lots of reasons to write HTML email and as many reasons to avoid HTML email.
Email is for communication.
The point of email is to communicate. And the better your message comes across, the more likely people will read it and benefit from it. Styled emails make it easier to see the message (usually) because elements that are important can be highlighted and lesser elements downplayed.
But styles can't always be seen. I received a message reporting a typo in one of my documents, and the sender highlighted the typo in red. Because I read my email as text, the red did not show through and I spent even more time trying to find the typo than I would if the sender had simply stated "you wrote 'there' instead of 'their' in the third sentence."
Testing Email is virtually impossible.
If you're like many Web designers, you despair at the thought of testing a significant portion of the Web browsers out there. Email is 10 times worse. Email is a much older system than the Web, and as such has many more clients set up to use it. Many corporate clients (such as Lotus Notes) can only be tested in a coprorate network using that system.
Even if the client supports HTML, some people still read it in text mode.
You might consider these people to be extremely technophobic, but many people prefer to read email in text mode rather than HTML and most email clients allow them to turn off HTML.
HTML emails are more likely to be flagged as spam.
SpamAssassin and other spam blockers often use the amount of HTML in an email message as an indication of whether the email is spam. This is because spammers discovered HTML email much quicker than the average email user, and HTML is much more effective in generating a click than plain text.
Styled email gets better results.
Styled email, with images and fancy text, can be more pleasant to read than plain text. So people reading your email messages are more likely to respond to the message or take action because of the message.
HTML email can be a security risk.
HTML email enables malicious senders to embed trojans and other malicious entities into an email message. Some email clients will automatically open attachments and images embedded in HTML email, and this can cause a system to be infected without the victim taking any action other than downloading email.
HTML email is longer to download.
Email is slightly different than Web pages, in that most people don't wait for one email message to download. But it can be very frustrating for your recipients if a message is so big that it stalls all the rest of their mail. And HTML email, is, by definition, larger than the same message in just text. Because there are extra tags surrounding the text that is displayed. Plus, images, whether they are attached or linked, need to be loaded and that can increase the time it takes for the email to load.
HTML email is fun to write.
Just like writing Web pages, HTML email is fun to write. You can spend time actually designing how your message will come across, rather than relying on just the text to convey your feelings. If you've ever been criticized for an email message you sent where someone thought you were angry when you were just excited, HTML email can help with that - because you can add images and colors to convey your meaning, where you would have had to use ALL CAPS or ** and // characters to emphasize and de-emphasize your points.
HTML email can generate privacy issues.
Some companies use 1x1 pixel images (called webbugs) to track who opens the email message. While most companies don't track customers on an individual basis, some people still feel this is a violation of their privacy. They would like the opportunity to refuse to be tracked, and webbugs don't offer that. If you read the HTML message, you've viewed the image and the fact that the email was opened is recorded.
HTML email is fun to read.
Email that arrives with images and style is a lot more fun to read than an email that is just text. This is especially true for designers and other visually oriented people. Text is not always the best way to get a point across - as the saying goes "a picture is worth 1000 words." And an embedded image inside an email is much more likely to be seen and appreciated than one that's sent as an attachment.
Many email clients don't reliably support CSS.
This is mostly an issue for designers who are learning to write standards based HTML for their Web pages. When they turn around to put those same designs in their email messages, many clients choke. CSS is still not well supported in email clients, except for very basic styles like bold, italics, and colors. Layout in HTML emails should be done with tables.
HTML email makes phishing scams much easier.
One of the primary ways that phishing scams work is to imitate a legitimate company's email format and change the links to point to the scammer's site. While it's possible to see that the links don't go where they appear to go, most people don't look and assume that if it "looks like my bank, it must be my bank." Hopefully, this isn't as true any longer.
HTML emails make it much easier to send non-English email.
If you need to send email in a non-ASCII compliant language such as Russian, Korean, or Hebrew, you need to use Unicode or some other language encoding. While you can use RTF, HTML is more standardized and more email clients on more platforms understand it and so can render the message correctly.
Many email clients default to HTML email.
Clients like Outlook Express and AOL use HTML email by default to provide their users with text formatting and embedded images. It can be very difficult to turn off HTML email in these clients.
Some people really hate HTML email.
There are some people out there who are highly offended by the use of HTML email and will delete these messages unread.
Some people really love HTML email.
On the other hand, some people love HTML email. They find it much easier to read and prefer it to plain text.

Answer Hello Cameron, To properly assist you we will need your model number to help you with this. Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx
John E. for Model Number Bosch Dishwasher SHE44C06UC/22
Answer John, You most likely have an issue with the water heater and or sensor, based on your post. If the water temp. is low, or doesn't increase during the wash cycle, the control will act irratic, and at the end of the cycle will have water and "stall" with 1 minute in the display, while the ontrol attempts to check and re calibrate itself. The easiest way to check for this is to start a cycle and wait 3 to 5 minutes, and check the water temp. the temperature should increase by two(2) degrees per minute, so you'll need to do several checks or use a multimeter with a temperature probe. If the temperature doesn't increase properly, replace the heater assembly 00480317.
Steve for Model Number SHE43F05UC/50
Answer Hello Steve. It sounds like water is leaking into the bottom of the unit and is causing it to raise the float on the unit and continue to run. Look for water in the base of the unit and if so, find the leak in the bottom of the unit.
Jeff for Model Number SHE44C06UC/43
Answer Hello Jeff, Before you start, kill the power supply to the unit and verify no voltage is present to the machine. Start at the power connection on the machine. Remove the kick panel and the cover where the wire nuts are located. Check to make sure the wire nuts are tight and both wires are securely in the nuts. If this checks out good, the next check is at the door switches inside the door panel. Check these for continuity and don't forget they show open unless you mash the button on the switch. Mashing the little button should give you continuity. If not, replace the door switch. Now go to the power button and make sure it shows continuity when activated. Check the float switch in the same manner also. If all of these test satisfactorily, momentarily power up the unit and test at the board for 120Vac. Remember that the door switches and the power switch have to be activated. This is best done by simply closing the door and mashing the on switch. Now you should have voltage to the board. If you have voltage to the board and the unit will not start, check for voltage leaving the board. If there is only voltage on one terminal, this is an indication of a bad board since if the board sends power out to any components, you will read this voltage on another terminal. If voltage is on one terminal, the board will require replacement.

Good tweaking, I like how just adding a few questions made such a difference. I prefer the challenge laid right out at the beginning; it makes me think and then really listen to what you are trying to say - but how about "Are YOU courageous? Do YOU possess....?"

First off i am not asking for help doing this, i have tried and given up but i just wanted to see if anyone has been able to do this.
I mainly took on trying to do this because a friend said i couldn't but the internet said it is possible so i thought id try. I decided to do it from my mac to my core. I started by installing OpenSSH server on my core, then editing ssh_config and sshd_config to allow X11 forwarding. Then i logged into my core from my mac and i set the display variable to "1" since x was already running on "0". Finally i used the command xeyes to open that application and it gave me the error cant start display. I also tried startx but instead of starting a session on my mac it just started a new x session on the core.
So i was stumped and gave up, but maybe someone can see my error.

Too much coordination required for such a feat, but grass roots elections for local officials should be the primary focus. There needs to be a clear cut citizen driven initiative by candidates outside the political system. A group of candidates willing to work for the people by listening to them democratically. Every issue, every vote, every legislative change that these politicians make is driven by a process of local voters willing to participate in an external voting system. Because, at this point the only way to win the game is to change the game.

Module Eliom_comet.Channels
module Channels : sig..end
Basic primitives needed for server push.
type 'a t
v t is the type of server-to-client communication channels transporting data of type v
type comet_scope = [ `Client_process of Eliom_common.scope_name | `Global ]
val create :
?scope:[< comet_scope ] ->
?name:string ->
?size:int -> 'a Lwt_stream.t -> 'a t
create s returns a channel sending values from s.
There are two kind of channels created depending on the given scope ( defaults to Eliom_common.comet_client_process ).
With scope Eliom_common.global all user knowing the name of the channel can access it. Only one message queue is created: it is what we call a stateless channel in the sense that the memory used by the channel doesn't depend on the number of users. The channel can be reclaimed when there is no more reference to it. The buffer channel has a limited buffer of size size (default: 1000). If the client request too old messages, it raise ( on client side ) Channel_full.
With a scope of level Eliom_common.client_process_scope the channel can only be accessed by the user which created it. It can only be created when client application datas are available. The eliom service created to communicate with the client is only available in the scope of the client process. To avoid memory leak when the client do not read the sent datas, the channel has a limited size. When a channel is full, no data can be read from it anymore.
A channel can be used only one time on client side. To be able to receive the same data multiples times on client side, use create (Lwt_stream.clone s) each time.
To enforce the limit on the buffer size, the data are read into stream as soon as possible: If you want a channel that read data to the stream only when the client request it, use create_unlimited instead, but be carefull to memory leaks.
val create_unlimited :
?scope:Eliom_common.client_process_scope ->
?name:string -> 'a Lwt_stream.t -> 'a t
create_unlimited s creates a channel wich does not read immediately on the stream it is read only when the client request it: use it if the data you send depends on the time of the request ( for instance the number of unread mails ). Be carefull the size of this stream is not limited: if the size of the stream increase and your clients don't read it, you may have memory leaks.
val create_newest : ?name:string -> 'a Lwt_stream.t -> 'a t
create_newest s is similar to create ~scope:Eliom_common.global s but only the last message is returned to the client.
val external_channel :
?history:int ->
?newest:bool ->
prefix:string -> name:string -> unit -> 'a t
external_channel ~prefix ~name () declares an external channel. The channel was created by an instance of Eliom serving the prefix prefix (the prefix configured in the <site> tag of the configuration file). The channel was named by name. Both servers must run the exact same version of Eliom.
The optionnal newest parameters tells wethere the channel is a newest one. if the channel is not newest history is the maximum number of messages retrieved at the first request. The default is 1.

All others aren't so more on apple they just announces that it does set a new iPad -- joining us now with a more on Apple's news.
Or iPad -- -- always how the product side is micros lead blogger at the unofficial apple web blog.
Two -- dot com and thank you so much for being here let Michael.
Okay right -- get right to the news we knew it was coming it's a seven point nine inch screen diagonally so it's the mini.
What is probably your comments so far because there's an awful lot coming out of this date the -- it's a very interesting positioned for apple to take they they did make a point of how they're gonna address the education market the textbook market -- talk about their new iBooks author tools.
One of the challenges for the companies that there are competitors starting to move into that space this is.
This is actually Google's -- this is the nexus seven okay which actually they were comparing very directly.
The new iPad need to -- have and its wider gives you more about more room to maneuver so this is the product category the space and -- moving into Apple's devices -- -- be sinner.
It's gonna have -- -- it's gonna be lighter and it's also gonna have that iPad experience which is what consumers seem to want yeah.
-- also -- announced the fourth generation I packed.
A new I book and a new iMac yes it's like there's any need a flow chart with all these it they pretty much -- -- product -- they did they basically upgraded everything.
Yet and and the fact that the company is able to do this and execute on all these different fronts only a few weeks after launching the iPhone 5 which is.
Unquestionably the biggest product in the portfolio makes as much profit is.
The GDP of some small countries.
It to have although desktop and lap and the laptop products -- that the thirteen inch retina MacBook Pro which is going to be very popular the Mac mini -- the iMac which were getting a little long in the -- to be able to bring those relative to current stack.
Is important because it shows that the company -- -- getting distracted by the big shiny object which is the iPhone market.
Doesn't rule apple run the risk of televising itself with a leased by us in particular that the media iPad of people -- this -- and perhaps forsake the -- and you know that's a really good question and at apple traditionally has not been afraid to be.
The company that puts its own leading product out of the market.
Better than someone -- exactly if you're if you're going to be replaced if you're the iPod which is eleven years old the zones and you were the leading music player in the market.
How much better to not get out with the -- -- -- to have someone else come along and do it so apple is not afraid that's sort of creative destruction.
Obviously there's going to be some marginal decrease in the number of full size ipads sold as people move toward the many iPad.
But also as soon as we get a price point will know how much of a market it's going to open up Michael update of the announcements you've heard today wit which one are you most excited about.
You know I have to I think that many iPad -- is gonna get the most attention I I think that the the actual re fresh of the full size iPad is very important because to cure -- generate a fourth generation to your point actually.
This is a device that was only six months in the market and is being refreshed all ready to include the lightning connector.
The new the new interface the faster processor and so forth so really.
An indication that there's no opportunity for competitors to get them a leg up.
Now because if you happen to you didn't go to three -- -- like well -- at the floor yet and so very apt.
Yes and it pretzels and the -- you know as they said is going to be huge for education markets got its size for students its size for.
Still has all the capabilities full size like that brings remarkable that the the Mac has outgrown the PC market according to -- apple for the last six straight years if he -- we'll get Dell's shaking and -- -- -- Hewlett-Packard and you know it it is it is easy to grow.
Year over year when you're starting from very little ladies but but the Mac has obviously resonate with consumers yes still a great.
You know still great product for -- still great business.
And that the two operating systems IOS and Mac OS OS-X right.
Our to a degree merging in terms of functionality a lot of the features you see in mountain lion the new -- back operating system.
Our inherited from the iPad and iPhone operating system so.
If you have one it's a lot easier to make that shut the jump to an let me say is is this coming down laurel and it's ready to gigabyte -- many for 29.
Yep and they're saying that the com.
The sixteen unit is really trying to and 329 so that's I would say a little higher.
Then we just we just on 99 I think we're looking for 299 mostly because you're you're talking about competing with the Kindle fire HD and the nexus seven right both start at 199.
But you can you know I think Apple's gonna make the argument that this is a product that's going to last -- perhaps cheapen up the schools and education -- Outlets Supervalu but if fourth generation for 499 -- that they -- if you need a flow chart my -- rose thank you so very much -- another -- -- -- get a big story today of course is this.

Wow, the Republicans held the middle-class tax cuts and unemployed hostage to get their way and succeed doing so. Amazing!
And the low to middle income rightwingers supporting the very rich as if there's something in it for them. What fools! The rich don't care about you.
It'll be interesting to see how many new jobs will be created, starting NOW. What a scam!
Oh well, that's another $700 billion added to the national debt anyway. The Republicans win at another failed economic policy. Obama is taking the bait on every issue. What a weak leader.
Shame on him for allowing this to happen. Our economy just took another hit. How disappointing.
I've been finding some of the liberal rhetoric on continuing the middle-class tax cuts rather ironic as they have spent the last several years denying their existence. Everytime the Bush tax cuts would come up libs always said they were "just for the rich".
Any crying about the debt they "inherited" is rather absurd as we watch Obama rack it up greater and greater.

Market Liberalisation
The Authority does not consider the market ready for this liberalisation measure.
It is not clear to the Authority that customers, investors or the government would benefit from the implementation of this measure at the present time. The Authority will reconsider this issue annually but does not propose to take steps to prepare the market for the implementation of this measure.
The Authority's expectation is that some customers – particularly large consumers of electricity – would benefit from the implementation of this measure. However, its implementation would imply a significant change to the risk allocation of existing contracts (PPA and PWPA), and require consideration of the implications for the Generation Security Planning Standard. In terms of preparatory measures, the Authority will consult with large consumers of electricity and the PWP to gauge interest in and assess the implications of this measure.
As no Import or Export has yet taken place, the Authority considers it premature to contemplate allowing persons other than the PWP or RAEC to Import or Export electricity. An International Interconnection between Oman and the UAE was commissioned in 2006. A further interconnection that is part of the GCC Interconnection project will be commissioned in 2007. The Authority will revisit this issue annually but does not propose to stipulate measures at this time to prepare the market for the implementation of this measure.
The Authority has a statutory duty to promote competition and considers the introduction of Supply competition to be an important and achievable objective. Subject to implementing seperate distribution and supply price controls, and comprehensive regulatory according requirement. The Authority would hope to implement Supply competition within 5 years.

An important guiding principle of Buddhist practice is the Middle Way which was discovered by the Buddha prior to his enlightenment (bodhi). The Middle Way or Middle Path has several definitions:
It is often described as the practice of non-extremism; a path of moderation away from the extremes of self-indulgence and opposing self-mortification.
It also refers to taking a middle ground between certain metaphysical views, e.g. that things ultimately either exist or do not exist.
An explanation of the state of nirvana and perfect enlightenment where all dualities fuse and cease to exist as separate entities.

The Hughes Middle School Dance Team and Cheer Squad attended Dance Camp at Southern Utah University in Cedar City, Utah, July 18-21, and came home with awards.
According to Tanisha Wittwer, the HMS Dance Team and Cheer Squad advisor, the dance team of Hailee Tilton, Kinlee Clark, Ashlee Faught and Karla Fragoza received the highest award an individual could receive: the "Super Sensational" ribbon.
Kinlee Clark also received a first place ribbon in the Drill Downs, Wittwer added.
And the Cheer Squad received the Spirit Award.
Cheer Squad members Lesley Quintero and Alicia Carrillo also competed in the All American. "This was just to give them the experience," Wittwer noted. "You must be on a high school varsity team to win."

The advisor and coach said the two teams worked well together and had a lot of fun. "Most nights were spent with late nights in the girls' rooms, or at a dance and pizza party in the coaches' room. It was a fun three days," she added.
"It was exhausting for me! I could not have done this with out the help of two people who came and assisted me -- Krissy Thornton and Taylor Hannig."

Europe's carbon trading market hits new low
The carbon market is the lynchpin of EU climate policy. And from this article in Speigle Online, it appears the market is down for the count: For those involved in European Union climate policy, the German regional election in Lower Saxony on Sunday was a nail-biter. The hope for many was that Germany's pro-business Free Democratic Party (FDP) would suffer defeat and leader Philipp Rösler, who has been under pressure within his party for weeks now, would be forced to step down as economics minister. But that didn't happen. Instead, Rösler ended up in a stronger position than before, and the flagship project of Europe's climate policy settled deeper into a lifeless coma. Rösler is against a short-term plan to boost prices on the European Emissions Trading System (ETS), while Environment Minister Peter Altmaier of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party favors it. Rösler opposes any intervention in the carbon market and stands by the market process that has resulted in a collapse in the price of.... (Read Full Article)

Good holidays, short working days, what more could any girl want than to teach. That is what I was told time and time again.
I toyed with the idea of studying law, but was encouraged by my elders that teaching was the job for a girl. So, a teacher I became and right from the beginning was drawn in to the world of special education. My teacher training had given me no real insight in to special education, or none that I can remember anyway. I was though, completely fascinated by special education right from the start of my journey into teaching.
I have always supported, had empathy for, the troubled, the underdog. In effect – drawn to them like crackers to cheese. I'm not entirely sure why.
My first teaching post was to be in Limavady, a market town situated between Portrush, where I lived then, and Londonderry, the second largest city in N. Ireland.
My interview for the post of assistant teacher should have alerted me to the 'special' times ahead. Sitting at the head of a long table in the Board Room, I was quaking at the thought of the impending interview. I was so nervous that I had driven myself to the interview with the handbrake on! There could well have been smoke coming out of the engine – I noticed nothing. I shudder to think of the damage I may have done to my mother in law's car.
I had just been formally introduced to the very formal Board of Governors when the window was hammered noisily from outside. A massively irate parent with a pronounced speech impediment was shouting loudly at the headmaster to come out. Believe me; she wanted him out and she wanted him out now!
Flustered, embarrassed and most probably upset by the scene, the Governors basically forgot to ask me any difficult questions and offered me the post. To be fair, I also have to tell you that… I was the only applicant for the job. Those were the days! Most teaching posts in special schools at that time were difficult to fill – I have no idea why.
The first day in a special school for children with moderate learning difficulties (plus many other difficulties) was mind boggling. I floundered. Big time! Confronted with a class of 14-15 year olds I was completely out of my comfort zone. Out of my depth completely as it turned out. They knew it; I knew it; and they quickly took advantage. The lesson ended in chaos when one of the boys kicked me hard on the shins, legged it out of the classroom and disappeared at speed out of the school grounds. He, I think his name was Kevin, was apprehended about four miles away on the mountain road. Cold, wet and hungry I don't think he even remembered kicking me. He was on my mind – I didn't feature on his.

By Karu F. Daniels Special to CNN - The long-awaited remake of the 1970s cult classic "Sparkle" is finally seeing the light of day as it opens in theaters across North America this weekend.
The film stars season six "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks and the late pop icon Whitney Houston. It's set in Detroit during the 1960s and chronicles the rise and perils of an all-girl R&B group -- a la Diana Ross and the Supremes and the glitzy 1981 Broadway show "Dreamgirls" and its 2006 movie adaptation.
The project has been a labor of love for producer Debra Martin Chase for more than a decade. She and Houston, her film producing partner, scored with "The Princess Diaries" films and the made-for-TV movie, "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella." As longtime fans of the original 1976 flick (written by an upstart Joel Schumacher), the duo yearned to bring it to a new audience.
"Just thinking back to why this movie was important to me as a teenager and I know why it was important to Whitney; it was really the first time we saw the fabulous women of color on the screen, who were glamorous, the men were gorgeous, the clothes were gorgeous," Martin Chase told CNN this week. "In and of itself, it was inspirational."
The TriStar Pictures film, which has been virtually kept under lock and key from media for months, had showings this week in Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, New York and Los Angeles. It also stars Carmen Ejogo, Tika Sumpter, Mike Epps, Derek Luke and Omari Hardwick, with appearances by Cee Lo Green, Michael Beach, Kem, Terrence Jenkins and Tamela J. Mann.
"It's surreal. It's hard to believe that it's finally coming into fruition," Martin Chase said. "It's like a lot of life lessons about believing in what you believe in and just sticking with your guns and just keep pushing forward to make it happen."
The road to post-production wasn't an easy one for this new "Sparkle."
In the late 1990s, Warner Bros. Pictures struck a three-picture deal with then-rising R&B star Aaliyah. One of the star-making vehicles was to be "Sparkle," to which the studio owned the rights. Under their BrownHouse Productions shingle, Martin Chase and Houston were tapped to help bring the remake to life. But shortly after Aaliyah's second film, "Queen of the Damned," wrapped, tragedy struck when the singer died in a plane crash.
The project languished for years. "I took the idea to other studios and got a bunch of nos," Martin Chase said. "I never gave up on it."
The names of singer/actresses such as Raven-Symone and Ashanti were bandied about at one time or another, but nothing materialized.
During a dinner a few years ago at Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton's home, the idea of "Sparkle" once again came up. Unbeknown to Martin Chase, it was a "passion project" for the studio chief, too.
From there, the remake received the green light. On the heels of the success of their 2010 feature film debut, "Jumping the Broom," husband-and-wife creative team Salim and Mara Brock Akil -- already established forces in the television industry -- were tapped to direct and write the new movie.
Salim Akil had his trepidation about taking on such a storied work. The original -- which featured a timeless score and soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield -- made stars out of Irene Cara, Philip Michael Thomas, Dorian Harewood and Lonette McKee. The legend of "Sparkle," which predated the fabled musical "Dreamgirls," would be a prized staple in black movie lovers' collections for years to come.
"I think with having conversations with my wife, Mara, and riffing on 'Well what if I did do it?' and 'I would do this, I would do that,' I felt like it's an opportunity to take us back to a time that was a little bit more innocent in terms of the way that we approached life back then," Akil said. "I thought 1968 was an interesting year for America, and so I thought we could do something and present something that a younger generation could appreciate it."
Outside of the relatively small $15 million production budget (period movies usually start at around $50 million) and a marathon 30-day shooting schedule, casting was one of the biggest challenges for the new "Sparkle."
Akil said he knew off the cuff he wanted to work with Epps, a renowned comedian, again after "Jumping the Broom." And as far as the leading role, Sparks -- who starred in Broadway's "In the Heights" in 2010 -- was a born natural.
"Jordin just has this quality about her that lends itself to innocence, and I needed that for 'Sparkle,' " he said. "I needed someone who, in this day and age, there was some innocence left. I wanted someone who was sort of (a) mystery to the public and who can sing her ass off, and she could definitely could do that."
However, the role of Sparkle's eldest, wilder sibling, Sister, proved less obvious once Paula Patton, also in the Akils' "Jumping the Broom," couldn't do it because of a previous commitment. The director said he saw just about everybody in Hollywood to portray, what

Bird boxes and bee hives will be rolled out over central London this summer to spark a housing boom for the capital's wildlife.
A London-based design company, 51% Studios, has held off international competition to win a habitats design competition run by InMidtown, a business organisation for the Holborn, Bloomsbury and Saint Giles area.
Tass Mavrogordato, CEO of InMidtown, said: "We recognise the far-reaching benefits of working within a district that nurtures biodiversity, which is why we are making these designs available to as many businesses as possible.
"51% Studios' ethos fits in with our aims perfectly. The 'Barsmark' board that the designs are made from contains 100 per cent recycled materials, in which resonates with our Zero to Landfill initiative, which aims to divert all waste from landfill by 2015 by reusing or recycling all waste from Holborn, Bloomsbury and Saint Giles in a closed loop system."
The aim of the Habi-Sabi design is to provide fast, adaptable metropolitan animal habitats.
51% Studios specialise in projects on difficult sites and has a background in designing urban bird nests and buildings that work in harmony with nature.

Design Museum
Design Museum | |
Design Museum in 2010
Established | 1989 |
Location | Shad Thames, London, UK |
Coordinates | 51°30′10″N 0°04′19″W / 51.502766°N 0.071862°W |
Director | Deyan Sudjic |
Public transit access | London Bridge station Bermondsey tube station |
Website | designmuseum.org |
Design Museum is a museum by the River Thames near Tower Bridge in central London, England. The museum covers product, industrial, graphic, fashion and architectural design. It was founded in 1989 and claims to be the first museum of modern design.[1] In 2007, the museum was listed by The Times newspaper as number two in their top five museums of the year.[2]
Deyan Sudjic is the current Director of the museum. He succeeded Alice Rawsthorn in 2006. Unlike most large London museums, the entrance is not free, as it is not subsidized by the UK Arts Council. For this reason it operates as a registered charity,[3] and all funds generated by ticket sales aid the museum in putting new exhibitions together. The museum attracts 200,000 visitors annually.[4]
South London site[edit]
The museum is currently housed in a former 1940s banana warehouse on the south bank of the River Thames in the Shad Thames area in SE1 London.[5] The conversion of this warehouse altered it beyond recognition to resemble a building in the International Modernist style of the 1930s. This was funded by many companies, designers and benefactors. The museum was principally designed by the Conran group, with exhibitions over two floors, and a "Design Museum Tank" exhibition space out by the water front.[6] Terence Conran aided in this conversion, as it was his concept to create such a museum of modern design. A large scale sculpture titled Head of Invention by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi was installed in the area between the Museum and the Thames.
- Ground floor
- This is the foyer of the museum, which consists of the admissions desk, Design Museum shop and Design Museum café, as well as the only toilets in the building. These toilets were designed by Australian product designer Marc Newson, and are viewed as an attraction by some tourists.[citation needed]
- First floor
- The small size of the museum means that all the exhibitions change frequently and the first floor houses the main attraction of the museum as it is the biggest space. Previous exhibitions here include a retrospective of Peter Saville's Graphic Design, Manolo Blahnik's Shoe Design and the History of Video Games.
- Also, on the first floor is the Blue Print Café which is one of Terence Conran's many restaurants, it boasts impressive views of the River Thames and Tower Bridge.
- Design Museum Space
- Is on the mezzanine floor between the First and Second floors, it is not generally accessible to the public. It is primarily used for Design Museum talks, which are lectures on design/designers, or hired out for events such as weddings or business conferences. It has a rather jarring shade of light blue, as the theme of the space is supposed to be "the swimming pool".
- Second floor
- This space is normally split into two sub sections, a larger space towards the windows/river with a smaller walled off space at the back. A semi-permanent exhibition on historic design is generally at the front, which is usually themed for coherency - such as different decades of design.
- The rear of this floor houses a private room called the "Education Centre" which is where the Education Department of the museum teach children, who are taken to the museum for a school visit, in workshops.
West London site[edit]
In June 2011, Conran donated £17.5 million to enable the Museum to move from the warehouse to a larger new site at the former Commonwealth Institute in west London. The museum plans to transfer there by 2014.[7][8]
Award Schemes[edit]
The Design Museum has run two award schemes. The Designer of the Year award from 2003 to 2006. In 2007 the new Director decided to drop the Designer of the Year scheme[9] and in 2008 introduced the Designs of the Year award.
Brit Insurance[10] sponsored the awards from 2003 until 2011.
Designer of the Year[edit]
The award was given to an individual who received a £25,000 prize. The prize aimed to stimulate public debate about design and to raise awareness of its role enhancing the quality of daily life and in its first three years was televised on BBC Two.
- Winners
2003 Jonathan Ive[11]
2004 Daniel Brown[12]
2005 Hilary Cottam[13]
2006 Jamie Hewlett[14]
Designs of the Year[edit]
The award looks at the most innovative, interesting and forward looking designs produced over the last twelve months from around the world and in seven categories: Architecture, Transport, Graphics, Interactive, Product, Furniture and Fashion. A number of internationally respected design experts are invited to nominate up to five projects, each of which, in their view, represents the best or the most interesting designs produced or launched in the last year.
- Winners
2008 One Laptop Per Child designed by Yves Béhar for Fuseproject[15]

Kusama's is a wonderful behind-the-music story, the outsider with destiny in her sights, who moves to the big city to prove herself, then collapses under the strain of striving, only to stage a comeback, bigger than ever.
Kusama calls her work "art-medicine"—for both herself and the rest of us. "I wanted to start a revolution, using art to build the sort of society I myself envisioned."

Quota extension lobby gains allies
By Staff -- Home Textiles Today, 4/12/2004 12:00:00 AM
An association representing textiles and apparel groups from 11 European countries has joined a coalition of trade groups from 26 countries calling for an emergency meeting of the World Trade Organization to delay the phase-out of textiles and apparel quotas.
Eurocoton — the Committee of the Cotton and Allied Textile Industries of the European Communities — has become the latest organization to formally endorse "the Istanbul Declaration." That declaration has asked the WTO to convene to discuss quota extensions no later than July 1. The declaration also asks the WTO to push back phase-outs to as late as Jan. 1, 2008.
Trade groups from Europe, Africa and North America have also endorsed the declaration. U.S. groups backing the initiative include the American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition, the National Council of Textile Organizations and the National Textiles Association.
We would love your feedback!

Job Readiness Support in the TTL
by Eric
In addition to providing computer access and training to San Francisco residents, the Tenderloin Tech Lab also works closely with St. Anthony Foundation's Father Alfred Center, a 13-month drug and alcohol rehabilitation program for men. Working with Eric, our Program Associate, they complete courses on job readiness, online job searching and interviewing and are equipped with a new email address, resume and cover letter. This training serves as a crucial refresher course to today's employment market and prepares these men for what lies ahead.
During his time in the Tech Lab, Jesse (a resident of the Father Alfred Center) expressed his desire to find employment in a natural food store. A United States Army Veteran with a background in publishing, Jesse hoped to switch gears and enter this growing market by any means necessary, from the ground up. As a result of his dedicated job search, we are happy to report that Jesse was recently hired as Supervisor at Whole Foods. Jesse credits the Tech Lab for preparing him to face the rigors of his job search, particularly with improving his interviewing skills.
In choosing to highlight this employment-related success, it is important to note that there are many other forms of "success" that we see on a daily basis: a connection with an old friend or family member on Facebook, the creation of a first email address, a new passage in a poem written on our computers. By providing critical access to the ever-changing world of technology, we are happy to play a role in our guest's success, in whatever shape that comes in.

Mailbag – February 20, 2012
Arturo spotted some disturbing news from the K-pop world on Twitter: Jenny Hyun, songwriter for groups like SNSD and Chocolat, went on a long racist tirade about African Americans. According to Asian Junkie (which has the full tweet stream, but it's a lot to deal with this early in the morning):
Yes, you read that correctly, she actually did call for the genocide of black people, which I don't even know how to explain in words because it's so fucking insane. Frighteningly, that's only one of many out-of-this-world racist statements that she makes throughout the tirade. [...]
So what sparked this rant?
Floyd Mayweather's tweet about Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise.
So yeah, she suggested the genocide of black people because a fucking boxer who is black suggested that Jeremy Lin is getting hyped more because he's Asian and not black.
What Floyd Mayweather said is wrong, and his dislike for Asians is well documented, going back to his racist rant against Manny Pacquiao. However, being racist back (and disturbingly so) certainly isn't the answer.
We checked in with contributor refresh daemon, who pointed out that Hyun is actually Asian-American, from California – she knew damn well the impact of what she was saying. The internet has also dredged up Hyun's own stated history of mental illness, which may have led to her public outburst. At some point, I'm going to finish that piece around cultural appropriation, j & k pop, and the violence of revulsion, but until then, Asian Junkies is having an interesting debate in their comments section.
Reader Wen sent in a tip on a public conversation on racism and Australian television. Two prominent stars took to television and twitter to speak out against tokenization, marginalization, and underrepresentation. The Sydney Morning Herald reports:
Firass Dirani, who stars in new ABC drama The Straits, yesterday told Fairfax that major networks did not create roles for people from a broad range of cultural backgrounds.
And that prompted New Zealand actor Jay Laga'aia, recently cut from the cast of long-running soap Home and Away, to rail against perceived racism in Australian television, making his rage known in three angry tweets that included an attack on Channel Seven.
Jay Laga'aia, who is known outside of Australia for his role as Captain Typho in the Star Wars franchise, aired his displeasure on Twitter:
Ah, if only.
Reader Caroline sent in a poem from Chastity Gunn about racial microaggressions:
http://www.facebook.com/people/Sharon-Cullars/100000096143598 Sharon Cullars
The irony surrounding the appropriation (or rather, misappropriation) of black culture is the blatant disrespect that many appropriators have for the people who initiated the culture. K-Pop, her bread and butter, is basically derived from R&B and Hip Hop and yet she spouts that black culture is disgusting and that a world without blacks would be so much better. Haters often contradict themselves and this is one of the most stupid contradictions I've ever read about.
Re: Jenny Hyun
Well, there's a way to kick off my Monday morning. Sometimes someone comes along and says things so repulsingly racist that I'm at a loss for words. I think what scares me the most is that for all the people rightfully condemning her comments, there are still many people who actually agree with everything she said. Her website recently posted an apology of sorts by saying that she's being treated for paranoid schizophrenia and that her long-winded, pro-genocide outburst was the result of heightened psychosis. The mental-health advocate part of me really wants to believe that but the cynical part of me wonders if it's just a PR attempt to try to defend the indefensible; I don't really know what to make of it.
Where did that happen? The entire Asian Junkies article was a condemnation of Hyun, while they spent a scant two lines on Mayweather.
Wow. Great catch, there!
So tired of white-supremacist people of color. And so many commenters online have made the point that people in the K-Pop world have done racist things against black people before, and were never held accountable for it, so it means that she'll probably get off scot-free, even if she's American… Pathetic. I feel like I haven't missed much for not paying attention to K-Pop. This has almost confirmed my suspicions that K-Pop is all about Asians who just want black music without, using Hyun's own words about Whitney Houston, "all that baggage."
This reminds me a bit about the bigoted rant that Kelly Osbourne spewed when she discovered that her fiance was cheating on her with a transgender woman. And the Racialicious title spoke for itself: If you are a bigot when you are angry, you are a bigot all the time. Bipolar my fucking ass!
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XSK4V3HN4QKPUXUJD7M4EP27CE Lisa
Poor Jeremy Lin–all he did was go out and play basketball really, really well, and now all of these weirdos are letting loose all their racial hang ups. His success is the current racial Rorschach test (that a lot of people are failing).
You're joking, right? White folks, who aren't Limbaugh, lose their jobs when they make racist statements.
South Korea and their blackface once AGAIN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGW0ztovM18&feature=player_embedded I have a whole list of videos/audios of instances of racism and blackface. It has to end.
Well, here I am being a necrophile, now…
"If you don't have an open mind, how can you expect others to? I wouldn't
go by what "many commenters" say, but investigate the evidence for
myself."Here's some evidence.
You're requiring me, the
offended one, to have an open mind towards a music scene that's
increasingly revealingly racist. Come on, now…

The Marbles BrainCoach says...
Even when no one is using it, the Ball of Whacks commands attention! I like to try to make something unique every time I build with it. At one time, there was an initiation for new employees at Marbles; we would throw them the Ball of Whacks from a good distance and see if they would catch it in one piece, or if it would shatter. Good times.
