- Sometimes its possible to be too simple.
And then sometimes you have to go with your initial gut instinct.
In the case of this simple identity, thats what I've chosen to do.
I chose to create an abstract mark created "from the sole," that's right actually from the sole. In my earlier explorations, I was having a hard time understanding the abstraction and in doing so was a bit too literal. However, I think in its refined state, I've created a mark that conveys energy, movement, and above all integrity.
In my experiences, the past informs where you've been and of course where you're yet to go. Specifically, the OG shoe is something timeless that i believed should inform where the brand headed.
In order to know where you're going, you have to recognize where you've been. Simple.

TODAY celebrates Savannah Guthrie on her last day before maternity leave
Good luck, Savannah! The TODAY co-anchor is celebrating her last day at work before going on maternity leave Monday, as she prepares for the birth of her first child, who is due later this month.

"My heart is full, I'll miss you guys," Savannah said as the TODAY anchors toasted her with apple juice in sippy cups following a sendoff that included lots of advice and baby gifts.
"It's been so fun, it's such a surreal thing to go through it on TV like this... it has gone fast and I've been so lucky, I haven't felt bad or anything, mostly."

Savannah has chronicled her pregnancy on TODAY.com since she announced that she and husband Mike Feldman were expecting back in March. Mike called into the show on Monday as a surprise, as did Savannah's mom, Nancy Guthrie. She announced her bags are packed as she awaits the arrival of her grandchild.
"I'm just waiting on pins and needles and I can't wait to find out what this baby is and buy some gender-appropriate clothes," she said.
That's because Savannah and Mike decided not to find out the baby's gender, though Savannah said her mom is convinced it's a girl. They've kept their name choices a secret, too.

In his message to Savannah, Mike said he was eagerly anticipating the days ahead.
"Her maternity leave is my paternity gain," Mike said. "We're looking forward to sleeping in to like 4 a.m."
"I'm so excited," Savannah said. "Everyone's warned me about the no-sleep situation so I'm mentally prepared."

So is she having a boy or a girl? Savannah doesn't know, but TODAY viewers weighed in online and 54 percent thought she will give birth to a son, while 46 percent said it would be a daughter. The crowd on the plaza also took part in the fun, holding up blue or pink paddles. The anchors declared it a split decision.
On her blog, Savannah has shared the joys and challenges — mostly joys — of her pregnancy.

"One of the most surprising and heartening aspects of going on this journey in such a public way was the real love and support I experienced from this amazing community of TODAY viewers. I want you to know I felt every hug and treasured every moment of kindness," Savannah wrote in her farewell (for now) blog post. "God has blessed me beyond measure. At 42 years old, I had every reason to think I may have missed my chance. I don't know why things worked out as they did. But there is only one possible response: to be full of gratitude and praise, and to point to the source of this incredible blessing."
Read the mommy advice first ladies, celebrities gave Savannah
Writing about the glory of vacationing while pregnant (no worries about what you look like in a bathing suit), Savannah wrote: "That's one lesson I'm learning already from my baby. How to relax, let go, go easy on myself and be thankful for the miracle of creating life, and for what the bodies God gave us can do."

Of course, no sendoff would be complete without remembering some of Savannah's "pregnancy brain" moments, like the time she thought "Nasal Strip" was the name of a horse competing in the Kentucky Derby. Hey, we all have those moments — most of us are just lucky not to have them on live, national television.
A host of notable women, from Michelle Obama and Laura Bush to Tina Fey and Julia Roberts, offered Savannah their new parent words of wisdom. And TODAY.com readers offered Savannah well wishes and advice on our TODAY Parents' Facebook page. (Hint: "Like" us if you want to get the latest baby news!)
Allison Earnst wrote, "Enjoy the down time before and after baby. You are used to a career and it might seem odd being in pajamas for hours (or days) at a time. But embrace it. It's a wonderful season of life that passes quickly. Best of luck."

Natalie Morales, Hoda Kotb and Tamron Hall will fill in for Savannah while she is on maternity leave.
Savannah's Instagram feed also offered a fascinating look behind the scenes of the TODAY show. How many baby bumps can say they've met Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett? Gaga told Savannah she thinks it's a girl, for the record.

Sashimi is awesome. Also, you can't beat a good salmon or tuna roll. Sushi's the perfect lunch or dinner during warmer months.

It's so odd because you think of sushi as being pretty healthy but a lot of it really packs in the calories (even my vegetarian sushi!) Thanks!

Thanks Fit! I am always curious about calorie counts of my sushi favs. Salmon, salmon cucumber, and salmon avocado definitely count as my favs!

I think I love sashimi best!! Simple, delicious and full of protein- but only if it's good quality stuff!

Something new
I never know what to write in these boxes...I recently moved to Indianapolis, I work hard and play hard. I am currently working on a phd in history, so books, reading and writing are important to me. I care about what's going on in the world, like to laugh and anything sci-fi. I like to dance, I love soulful music, and I will try anything new. I like to watch basketball, spending time outdoors, feeling the sun kiss my face, good conversations, and card games (don't make me spank you in a game of spades). Looking for a man who will keep me on my toes in whatever package that comes. I like a sense of humor, a smart mouth, and someone who will check me when I'm out of pocket. I want someone who is mature, and who already knows how to show respect and affection.

"The Pods" is the thirteenth episode in the second season of Adventure Time. It is the thirty-ninth episode overall.
Finn takes up a quest from a dying knight to protect three magic beans: two good, one evil. But when he and Jake decide to plant the beans to eliminate the evil once and for all, will they be able to figure out which is which in time?
The episode starts with Finn and Jake walking, while Jake eats ice cream and talks about how excited he is for the upcoming Ice Cream Marathon being held the next day. Suddenly, they hear a mysterious croaking sound. Following the noise, they stumble upon a frog in a Gnome Knight costume. It is revealed that the frog is a Gnome Knight magically turned into a frog. He is dying and needs a pure hero to take over his task of guarding a chest with three magic beans inside of it. He states that two of the beans are good and one is horribly evil, but since the beans are identical, he does not know which is which. Thus, he has spent his entire life guarding all three. Jake does not want to guard the beans, so he makes an excuse and backs out, but Finn takes pity on the knight and volunteers that he and Jake will assume his task. The Knight gives Finn the chest and also his staff. Then, the Knight dies and Finn and Jake are left with the chest of beans.
Jake wants them to take the beans with them to the Ice Cream Marathon, but Finn insists that they stay where they are. After a period of time, Jake suggests (being bored out of his mind and hot from sitting outside all day) that they plant all three beans and kill off the evil one. With his convincing idea, Finn agrees. They plant the beans and wait all day for when they blossom. They end up falling asleep. The next day, the first bean has grown into a large plant with a bulging sac at the end of the tall, drooping stalk. After prodding, the sac opens to reveal several Baby Pigs dressed in silly costumes (a doctor, a construction worker, a bumblebee, a chef, a cowboy, and a magician). Jake immediately thinks they're good but Finn keeps his guard up and decides to give the piglets personality tests to see if they're evil. Jake insists that nothing evil could be this adorable and Finn finally agrees and proclaims the pigs good, even though Finn notices that one drew a picture of ice cream under "Do you have any allergies?"
As they are doing this the second pod grows, its sac releasing magic wands. Finn and Jake assume that it is good, so Finn and Jake end up playing games with all the baby piglets, who play with the magic wands. After a long day, they fall asleep. When Finn and Jake wake up the next morning, they notice that the third pod has sprouted, its sac was bigger than the other sacs. Assuming that it is the evil one, they begin attacking it. Jake notices that the sac is "leaking" a brown substance. Upon opening the sac, Jake sees that it is full of ice cream and proceeds to eat some of it. Finn is worried that Jake is being poisoned, but Jake assures him that this pod was "the goodest thing that's ever happened to me." Finn realizes that this pod is good.
They then notice that the piglets and the magic wands have vanished. They find them terrorizing Mushroom Village, using the magic wands to destroy the town and make its inhabitants dance. Jake also gets struck by the wand and starts dancing. Finn, thinking quickly, reviews the personality tests he had given the piglets and finds out that they are allergic to ice cream. Carrying the sac of ice cream on his back, he proceeds to squirt massive jets of ice cream at each piglet, which in turn makes them explode into confetti. He almost gets won over by the adorable gaze of the construction worker piglet but is still able to spray it with ice cream.
The Mushroom People (still dancing) thank Finn and Jake. A citizen then says that the Mushroom people must remove the ice cream covering the town. Jake then eats all of the ice cream covering the town. He then leaves to the Ice Cream Marathon and the episode ends with Finn telling the Mushroom people that, "He just really likes ice cream."
Major characters
Minor characters
- One of the seagulls in the beginning of the episode has a ring with a red gem around its beak.
- One of the sections of the Gnome Knight's heraldic crest depicts three beans.
- Finn misspells "allergies" as "allerjies."
- All six piglets appear as enemies in Finn and Jake's Epic Quest.
- Jake was seen eating chocolate ice cream even though he mentioned in "Slumber Party Panic" that chocolate can kill him.
- In "Still," Ice King states that Jake has sensitive teeth. However, Jake has no problem with eating great amounts of ice cream in this episode and in "Business Time."
- The first bean that Finn planted is the evil one.
Cultural references
- This episode contains warped usage and references to various classic fairy tales, including Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Frog Prince, and The Red Shoes.
Storyline analysis
- Finn accepted a quest to guard the beans from ever being planted. Whether he thought it through or not, he had agreed to sit by the beans for an indefinite amount of time. He was saved from this by taking Jake's advice to plant the beans, technically causing Finn to fail the Gnome Knight's quest.
Episode connections
- In "Wizard" Finn also agrees to take on a lifelong quest for the good of the world, but without realizing what he was agreeing to. In this episode he consents knowing what he is getting into. He also does this in "Henchman."

Chinese brands ready to make debut on the global stage
Publication Date : 16-01-2014
They hide in the shadows, despised by many and often described as shameless thieves. They steal, make copies of someone else's products and sell them in underground markets at low prices.
They are technologically savvy and can master every mainstream smartphone inside-out. They are able to deliver any device from scratch in days.
That was then. But now, small Chinese smartphone makers who started their businesses by assembling knockoffs are ready to do some honest work this year. Apart from taking outsourcing orders from much bigger vendors, they are also building a new image as global organisations.
In Shenzhen, a Southern Chinese city responsible for roughly half of global mobile phone shipments, the sense of transformation is evident.
"Making knockoffs is no longer what we do," said Sun Wenping, executive president of Shenzhen Mobile Communications Association, a local industry assembler. "We are looking for a new status that fits the new circumstances."
In Las Vegas last week, Sun and about 50 Shenzhen-based phone makers showcased their products at the International Consumer Electronics Show, the biggest event of its kind.
According to a Reuters report, about 1,800 Chinese companies have made displays at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show.
Overseas expos are not just a showcase opportunity for Chinese phone makers: They are signing major business deals at these events, according to Sun.
"Some Shenzhen-based brands already have a strong market share in emerging markets in Africa and Latin America," he explained. "They want to secure their lead in these areas this year."
Manufacturers such as Gionee Communication Equipment Co Ltd, Yulong Computer Telecommunication Scientific Co Ltd and the lesser-known Tinno Mobile Technology Corp have leading positions in a number of emerging markets.
Emerging markets such as Africa, Latin America and the Middle East will be a hot battleground for Chinese phone makers in the years ahead, industry analysts say.
"I think Chinese original equipment manufacturers will affect every global brand in the emerging markets in 2014," said C.K. Lu, a Taiwan-based analyst with industry consultancy Gartner Inc.
Brands ready to make debut on the global stage
"However, I would not be worried about Chinese firms eating into the market share of industry leaders because in fast-growing markets, vendors can still grow the number of units sold without gaining a huge share," said Lu.
Mobile phone owners in less developed markets change their handsets more often than those in developed markets. The trend will give lower-end Chinese makers more room to sell their products, said Sun, who is anticipating another year of rapid growth for small and medium-sized makers.
According to Lu, there are two major trends for Chinese original equipment manufacturers to enter an overseas market.
Some are offering an aggressive price tag US$99, for example to quickly gain market share. The other method is to set the price at the middle point (around $300) with all-around feature sets to lure buyers in high-end markets.
Both strategies are going well for Chinese brands. Sun said almost all the local makers are enjoying a "sizable" profit margin.
Yet Chinese electronic manufacturers may find it hard to enter developed markets including Europe and North America, Google Inc warned in December.
The biggest impressions of made-in-China devices in European markets are that they are cheap but are not good quality. Chinese companies should pay more attention to building brand image before entering top tier markets, it said.

Gifted by Patty Griffin 5/25/2014 "Dear Elise and family, I investigated many outbreaks with Bill, and always appreciated his insights and his sense of humor. I share your loss. Patty Griffin"
Gifted by Becky K 12/6/2013 "Dear Elise and family, My deepest condolences to you and your family. Bill was my mentor in Foodborne epidemiology. He was always willing to provide constructive suggestions to foodborne investigations. I am glad you were able to visit Hawaii."
Gifted by Chris Gill 12/5/2013 "Bill had outsize importance in my life and career. More than anyone, he turned me towards public health and showed me how exciting that life could be. He was a giant and leaves huge shoes for us to fit into. I will remember him and miss him always."
Gifted by Rob Wieboldt 12/4/2013 "So many have spoken so eloquently about Bill that I can only second their remarks, especially those of his Yale classmates. I have more fond memories of him than I can count - Sterling Library and steam tunnel escapades, playing rat patrol on the Nebraska plains, seeing Hitchcock classics together, endless hours of Risk when we should have been studying, water balloon catapults (the captain of the Yale lacrosse team is still looking for Bill) and many others. I will miss Bill's sense of humor most of all. It was so uniquely him, mordantly dry and ironic. And it was always followed by that great laugh, which I can hear now just as clearly now as if he were sitting next to me. Our hearts go out to Elise, Bill's family and co- workers."

Long hence the days that Spencer and his fellow country gentlemen graced the Leatherstocking Region, Karl, Carlie and Julia Hosnedl have meticulously rejuvenated the Spencer Inn, melding the intrigue of yesteryear with the conveniences of today.

Focusing on the Spiritual Eye
"The key to success with the "Hong-Sau Technique" is to deepen your concentration at the spiritual eye until you no longer think about anything except the rhythmic flow of the breath."
— Nayaswami Jyotish
The Spiritual Eye, or Christ Center is located at the point between the eyebrows. It is the seat of spiritual awakening. When all of our energy becomes centered there, enlightenment occurs.
When seen perfectly, The Spiritual Eye consists of a silvery-white five-pointed star, surrounded by a field of deep indigo blue, which in turn is framed by a ring of gold.
It is extremely important to have your eyes turned upward to the Spiritual Eye in meditation. Focusing there helps you attune to, and magnetically draw, the highest states of consciousness. (You should remember, however, that although the eyes are physically gazing at the Spiritual Eye during your practice of Hong-Sau, your concentration should be on your breath).
You can also focus on this point while going about your everyday activities. The more time spent focusing on the spiritual eye, the higher your consciousness will become.
If you feel tension when you look at the Spiritual Eye, try this advice from Swami Kriyananda:
Raise your gaze upward – not crossing the eyes, but focusing them on a point somewhat beyond the forehead at about the distance of your thumb when you hold your arm extended above you. The height of your thumb should be level with the top of your head.
The important thing is that your attention, not your eyes, be focused on that point in the forehead. Don't try forcibly to bring your eyes to a focus, but gaze mentally at that point, and let the Spiritual Eye draw you into Itself.
If you notice that your mind has wandered off Hong-Sau mantra, you may also notice that your eyes are no longer looking upward. When this happens, raise your eyes again and refocus them on the Spiritual Eye, and your mind, on the breath. In time, you will feel a pull of energy within the forehead, and it will become easier for you to keep your eyes focused upwards.
Once you end your practice of Hong-Sau, you should spend some time focusing on the Spiritual Eye, whether you can see the light there or visualize it.
If you see the light, calmly offer yourself into it. If you don't see the light, pray deeply, "Reveal Thyself… Reveal Thyself." Even if you don't see the light, you will feel your consciousness uplifted.

Maybe, but right now these young stars are very much aligned. After they were spotted clubbing in New York City this summer, their affection became more public on Sept. 7 at the MTV Video Music Awards at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall and later at the nightclub Twirl. "There were 600 people here," says Archley Prudent, a designer for the club, "and they sat next to each other or danced the whole night," touching each other's faces and doing "the little things people do that show you they're a couple." Since then, despite living far apart—she with her parents in Kent-wood, La., he in Orlando—they've been seen dancing at South Beach's Level Nightclub, shopping at clothing boutiques in Miami Beach and strolling on Sunset Boulevard in L.A.
To some the only surprise is that it took the pair so long to hook up. Spears and Timberlake have been friends since they started rehearsals for the Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Club in 1993, when she was 11 and he 12. "They have a lot in common," notes Matt Casella, then the show's casting director. "They certainly share the same interests—singing, dancing, acting."
Interest in one another was rumored as far back as late '98, but reports also linked Spears to Robbie Carrico, a singer with Boyz-N-Girlz United, Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys—even Prince William. (She denied all attachments.) In May Spears confessed to Rolling Stone that she and Timberlake kissed "sometimes." Two months later a rumor began to circulate that they were engaged.
"I laughed when I heard," Timberlake told PEOPLE in July, denying any nuptials. "If I was seriously thinking about getting engaged to anyone, nobody would know about it." Spears, too, brushed off betrothal, but she sounds smitten. "When you're comfortable with someone you love," she told Elle last month, "the silence is the best. And that's how me and J. are. When we're in a room together, we don't have to say anything. It's for real."
Their connection may be rooted in similar upbringings. Children of the South—he grew up in Memphis, she in Kentwood—they're humble about their talents. "They both were incredibly polite kids," says Casella. " 'Yes, sir,' 'No, sir.' Their moms did a great job of raising them." Spears is the second of three children of Lynne, 45, a schoolteacher, and Jamie, 48, a building contractor; Timberlake is the only child of Lynn Harless, 39, owner of a music management company. (His father, Randy, 41, has two children with his second wife.) In the spring of 1993, after a nationwide search, they and five others (including Christina Aguilera, then 12) joined 13 other cast members in the Mickey Mouse Club, a modernized version of the '50s kids show that had been resurrected a few years earlier. The cast—who each had at least one parent living with them in Orlando—went to class, rehearsed and socialized together. By all accounts, Timberlake and Spears were just pals. The show was canceled by '95, and three years later fledgling solo act Spears began opening for 'N Sync, one of several Orlando-based boy bands, on a nationwide tour. "I'm attracted to guys who are really confident and make conversation," Spears recently told YM. Clearly Timberlake fits the mold. "Every relationship I've been in," he told CosmoGirl, "I've eventually overwhelmed the girl because they just can't handle all the love."
These days Spears (who is in the process of buying a Manhattan loft) is winding down a tour sans Timberlake, who is touring with 'N Sync. But their romance seems mostly, well, in sync. "They are both so famous right now," says Casella, "that it would be hard to be able to trust new people. They have a history and past together. They feel safe with one another. It's perfect."

Hi Cal - you're absolutely right, it's a classic pro driver with low Qt. Mostly that's because I had several of them on hand, and I know they can sound great quite a way up above 1kHz. I started a thread here to write some of my thoughts about that.

Got my Cerwaves running yesterday.
Cerwin Vega D7 with re-coned woofers. SEOS12 with DNA360 1" compression driver. Generic Econowave crossover for 4 ohm woofers under 95db. Cabinets flipped upside down so woofer is at top of baffle closer to waveguide. Yamaha htr5540 cheapo 30 dollar swap meet receiver (works great!). Old, yet relatively unused "like new" Kicker sealed sub in 2 cubic foot box. I got 2 of them for 20 bucks at swapmeet! Just finished box a week or so ago. Infinity BU2 plate amp (15 dollar sub, threw away crappy box and woofer). 10" Sony sub in sealed box running off amp from old 8" yamaha sub. I got a pair of brand new subs with a car I bought. I almost threw them away as I hate sony xplode. , but I decided to keep them. I am astonished how awesome the bass is in my house, even with small amps. These subs sound really clean. Not boomy at all. All music sounds good on this set up. I am happy even with basic econowave crossover. Sounds like it needs to be customized, though... I am planning on going active, so I can use the extra 70 watts per channel of surround on receiver. I bought it because it has analog inputs for all surround channels. minidsp finally designed a sub set up, so I can run 2 way with sub. Not sure if I am going to run econo's with midbasses and subs, or waveguide/CD on one amp and 12" woofers on another, then subs. Not planning on doing anything until I get measuring gear... I almost planned on calling these "swapwaves". I love buying cheap crap and maximizing their potential. Even though I bought new waveguides and CD's And new cones on the woofers End somewhat pricey passive crossover. *sigh* Last edited by TMHutson; 16th November 2013 at 02:41 AM. |

Simplified join pages now live
Posted on:Hello! In response to some feedback on the usability of the Community Group join pages, we have simplified them. You may need to refresh a page (to clear your cache) before you see the update.
The previous design involved two steps: confirming an affiliation and pushing a button, then agreeing to the CLA and pressing another button. We had chosen this design to ensure that people were attentive to the important step of confirming affiliation.
Several people let us know that the two phases were confusing, so we have simplified it to just one: there are still two checkboxes, but a single button to submit the join form.
We hope you will find this an improvement!
Kicking off
Posted on:Many thanks to those who have signed up to the XDMDL group. This post gives some details about how I propose to run the group.
I have set up a Confluence Wiki at http://wiki.saltis.org. Material for this group is in the XDMDL space (click on the link at the left had side of the dashboard).
Guests can browse most of the material on the wiki, except for details of group members and joining instructions for the calls. They cannot add, edit or delete anything.
If members of the XDMDL group send me their email addresses, I can send you a log-in for the wiki. Take a moment to look at the Help space (left hand side of the dashboard) which gives some more information about how I have organised the wiki.
The wiki is running a slightly old version of Confluence. When I have a couple of days to spare, I will try and upgrade to the most recent version. In the meantime, I have not been able to configure the email functionality – so do not expect the wiki to keep you updated yet.
I propose that we should work on the draft using Word files using Tracked Changes. I have posted the first instalment of the draft to the wiki (see http://wiki.saltis.org/display/XDMDL/Section+1). It is a largish file, as I have embedded fonts – but we can discuss how we want to do this on the calls. It may be that, with the most recent version of Confluence, drafting on the wiki itself might be practical.
I propose to have weekly calls on Fridays at 1500 GMT, 1600 CET. Because UK summer time is out-of sync with US summer time, that makes it 1100 EDT for the time being – but it will soon go back to 1000 EDT again.
Our first call will be this Friday, 20 March. I propose to take half the call discussing the kick-off, and half making a start running through my straw-man proposal for XDMDL. I suspect that it will take a further two calls to complete discussion of the straw man, after which people can get out their torches.
Joining instructions have been circulate on the public email reflector and are available to members of the group on the wiki.
Email reflector
Our main email reflector is email@example.com. Please use this if your want to communicate with the rest of the group, and particularly if you do not yet have a login to the wiki.
Looking forward to seeing you on Friday.
Why Transitional Doc Type is Invalid
Posted on:When I run my website through W3C CSS Validation Service and it shows error for the DOC type (<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">).
It suggests to use simple '<!DOCTYPE html>' and I'm wondering if this is HTML5 specific and break the rules for the previously supported but now obsolete tag rules or is safe to use without any cross browser rendering problem?
What doctype have to be?

Deployment plan for new Community and Business Group site – 12 February
Posted on:Hello,
We plan to deploy the new Community and Business Group site on Thursday, 12 February 2015 at 10am ET.
We announced [1] the beta site on 29 September 2014 to test a list of features [2] and have made changes based on feedback. We have also
improved the performance of the "current groups" and "reports" pages.
We expect the deployment to require less than one hour. During deployment, people:
* CAN join and leave existing groups.
* CAN propose new groups (but they won't be created until after deployment).
* CANNOT create or modify blog posts.
After deployment, if you see issues, please write to email@example.com.
Note: We do not expect to maintain the beta server cgbeta.w3.org indefinitely, so those URIs are not permanent.

Platform costs, platform restrictions no longer needed – the project "mosaic"
Posted on:Purpose
Finding people, selling things, finding exactly the courses I want – without internet platforms:
Knowledge exchange, finding people and groups with same interests, booking flights and beds, offering services, further education, and so on – all that without platforms, logins, costs, but straight forward and exactly the way I want it, while having all data much more under my control.
Example one:
Everybody, who wants to find other people for a knowledge exchange about a topic, can compose an internet document that contains the relevant data in the form of xml, microformat or composed in a different well-defined way (what language to use for that is to decide, see below). Let's show the mechanism using xml. Relevant data to find compatible people are: the topic, the languages I'm able to speak, the way I'd like to communicate, maybe the place where I live:
<topic>energy autonomy of buildings</topic>
<description>I now several solutions to build buildings as energy producing units, but many questions are still open. I'd like to find out, which of them are going to be solved in the next three years and especially, which of them will not be solved as soon, so we can put more energy towards them</description>
<languages>german, french, english</languages>
<ways_of_communication>phone, email, web chat, meeting</ways_of_communication>
Finally, I place this document somewhere on the internet, where the search engines will find it.
Now we assume that the existing search services or new specialized search services indexes this document using the xml tags. So everybody can find this document be searching for a word in the topic-field, combined with a language in the language-field and a given area of places (maybe Europe – the search engine knows, which coordinates are within Europe). So other people interested in the same topic, matching my given languages and my given place can find and contact me.
Example two:
The same system works for selling beds in a hostel. You would issue an internet document for every free bed, containing all relevant information, including the exact geographical coordinates, price and a direct link allowing to book this exact bed using your own shop-system on your web site. (Here you could check if the bed really is free, in case the index of the used search engine wasn't up-to-date.)
In fact: finding people and offering rooms in a hostel works without a platform. The same system works for offering services, further education and any thing you might imagine.
So, this could really be the internet 3.1 because of those points:
Nobody ever will really «see» those internet files like normally we see internet files through our browsers.
Those files will only be read by search engines and appear as search results in a layout, that is built by the search engine: In case of a search for knowledge exchange on top those who match all criteria, then those, that match best the topic I look for and the languages but not the way of communication and so on. Better search engines will give me a button to change the order using other criteria first. In case of a hostel bed, I would see only the beds within the given geographic field, in order of prices – including a small preview of a photo, if available, and with a button to change the order. (This is, why the idea's name is «mosaic»: everybody issues a small piece, that is composed to a big image by a search engine.)
The internet is used as a database. Each database entry is one file everywhere in the internet.
The search engines are the query handlers to this integral, total-data database.
The peer to peer quality of the internet is «really realized», not controlled by platforms.
getting rid of restrictions and cost of platforms for user and costs for sellers
realizing democratic principles
getting maximal control of the own data
connecting people with similar interests or buyers and compatible sellers and vice versa and so on, independently of the fact, if a fitting platform exists or not.
To Do / Next Steps
defining the tag system / the language (xml or microformat or …): must be clear, determinate and extensible – contact w3 consortium
short feasibility study
coding an open source search engine specialized in indexing documents using that tag system
go live with a first purpose – maybe sell and buy, maybe finding people, maybe …
or: find out about other steps
What about the rating of hostels, products and so on? – Maybe, the specialized search engines can provide form for feedback and generate special files as rating entries to this all inclusive database that can be read by all search engines
What about rapidly changing content like free seats in a plane? – Maybe the search engines can check if the indexed files have been changed since, while composing an answer to a request.
There will be many more problems but also many ways to solve them.
This database can be a mail system, if you encrypt the content of the massage and give a kind of sign allowing the receiver to recognize the file as a mail for them.
Even complex social media interaction as it is performed now by Facebook®, Xing® and so on, can be realized within this total database, building a file for each message/post and using encryption, if the content is for some people only.
As not everybody is able to compose such internet files by hand and not everybody has a server to upload them, there will be services providing forms specialized on a type of entry (like type «knowledge exchange») including the service to upload the immediately generated file to the internet. (Maybe the specialized search engines will allow a searcher to transform a search into a file, if no matches are found: If you cannot find others, you can give others the opportunity to find you.)

Beta Launch of new Community and Business Group site
Posted on:Hello,
W3C first launched the Community and Business Group site in August 2011. Today we launched a beta site to enhance the Community and Business Group experience for all.
For detailed information about the beta, including improvements to the
site and what we want to test, please see our blog post on the CG/BG beta.
We invite your comments on the beta through 31 October. Please write to email@example.com, mailing list of the Community Council, which helps promote Community and Business Groups and ensure that they function smoothly.
After the beta, we plan to continue to improve Community and Business Groups, by implementing a number of anticipated changes.
We look forward to your feedback!
Ian Jacobs, Head of W3C Communications
Beta-testing the New Community and Business Group Site
Posted on:Note: This was the post originally at https://cgbeta.w3.org/community/forum/2014/07/31/beta-welcome/
for our July 2014 announcement. We do not anticipate maintaining the beta server and so we have copied the original post here for archival purposes.
Welcome to the beta test of the new Community and Business Group site. The address of the beta site is http://cgbeta.w3.org/community/.
The data on this site is for experimental purposes only. We invite you to propose and join groups and test various parts of the system; see the list of primary tests below. Carrying out the tests we describe below will have no affect on W3C's production Community Group site. Email notifications are sent to the Team (and not Advisory Committee Representatives). Please note, however, that if you make changes to your W3C account (which is not directly part of the beta), those changes will have an affect on production systems.
We welcome your feedback on the beta, bug reports, and suggestion on firstname.lastname@example.com (archive).
We welcome beta comments through 31 October 2014. We would expect to launch the revised site in November then proceed to next steps for Community and Business Groups.
What's new
The changes in the beta reflect several years experience with user interactions with the site, as well as moving toward a more contemporary design and implementation.
- New, responsive design.
- Clearer user interface for joining groups.
- New documentation for the program, better integrated in context.
- Improved performance for lists of groups and reports.
- Group descriptions can include markup.
- New sort-by-name feature on participants page for each group.
- When a group is proposed, the link that we send to the community is to the (persistent) announcement, rather than to a temporary anchor on the proposed groups page.
Primary tests
Propose a group
- Who may do this during the beta: Anyone with a W3C account.
- Do this from the home page (for recently created groups) or any of the current groups page (or proposed or past).
Support a group
- Who may do this: Anyone with a W3C account.
- Do this from the home page (for recently proposed groups) or the list of proposed groups.
Join a group
- Who may do this during the beta: Anyone with a W3C account.
- Do this from the home page (for recently created groups) or any of the current groups.
Nominate a chair
- Who may do this during the beta: Group participants and Team.
- Do this on the group's participant page.
- See how to nominate a chair.
Publish an initial draft of a report
- Who may do this during the beta: Group Chairs (who are logged in).
- You need a URI and a title. You can make up the URI, for example http://www.example.org/1234 or something else. Please create a new URI for each test.
- Links to the UI for publishing are found on each group's home page.
Publish a final report
- Who may do this during the beta: Group Chairs (who are logged in).
- You need a previously published draft, a URI, and a title. You can make up the URI, for example http://www.example.org/1234-final or something else. Please create a new URI for each test.
- Do this from the group's home page.
Make a Final Specification Commitment
- Who may do this during the beta: Group participants.
- This is only possible after the Chair has published a final report.
- Links to do this are on the group's home page and in the blog post announcing the final report.
Write a blog post in the W3C Forum
- Who may do this during the beta: Anyone with a W3C account.
- Note: There is no significant difference between the production W3C Forum and the beta W3C Forum.
Leave a group
- Who may do this during the beta: Group participants.
- Do this from the group home page.
Detailed notes on the beta
- When you join a group, to simplify our beta setup, we are not automatically propagating to our database the usual permissions we give group participants to edit in their group blog. Blog editing will be no different from the current production site, so we did not think it important to test in beta.
- Rather than require usual AC Reps to approve requests to join a group, in the beta the team will play the AC Rep role for all Members.
- We are not creating mailing lists or wikis for newly created beta groups.
- Mails triggered by user interactions that usually go to team-community-process or public-council or w3c-archive will be sent instead to individuals on the Team. Also, we will not send email to AC Representatives.
I just joined the group but am not in the list of participants.
When you join a group, there is an approximately 2-minute delay before the information about your joining is available to all parts of the system.
I just joined the group and cannot leave.
When you join a group, there is an approximately 2-minute delay before the information about your joining is available to all parts of the system.
Where are the Community Groups I am used to seeing?
The list of groups in the beta is not the same as the real list of Community and Business Groups. If you find a group that looks real in the beta, it is because we have copied the data from the live site to be able to evaluate the beta site under "real world" conditions.
Does this beta involve any legal commitments (e.g,. by joining groups)?
What's next for Community and Business Groups after the beta?
We anticipate a number of other improvements to CGs and BGs such as "copyright-only" groups and a simplified join process for non-Members. We do not yet have a schedule for their completion. We invite people to join the Community Council for discussions about Community and Business Groups.

More Details on Globalization Study
November 23, 2011 - SCMR Editorial
The Global Connectedness Index (GCI), a study released by DHL last week indicates that globalization is still not as advanced as most people believe.
The DHL Global Connectedness Index 2011 examines data on 10 different types of international flows, covering the categories of trade, capital, information and people, over the years from 2005 to 2010. Unlike existing indices, the GCI analyzes not only the depth of countries' cross-border interactions but also their geographic breadth – distinguishing countries that are truly connected across the globe from those with deep ties only to a small set of partner countries. Additionally, it is based exclusively on hard quantitative data.
The 2011 GCI found that the 10 most connected countries are the Netherlands, Singapore, Ireland, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Belgium, Hong Kong (China) and Malta. The diversity of the leading countries is even greater in the top 50 list, which includes representatives from all six continents. These patterns indicate that the benefits of connectedness are accessible to a broad range of countries, not just trading hubs that lead many other globalization indices.
??"The positive impact of global connectedness on world prosperity will continue to be of great importance. The misgivings some political leaders have about increasing global integration are misplaced; its benefits far outweigh the potential downsides," said Ghemawat.?? Key takeaways from the index include:?
?• The actual level of connectedness today is much lower than commonly believed; its potential for positive growth, therefore, is significant.??
• The Netherlands ranks No. 1 in terms of overall connectedness, Hong Kong scores the highest regarding the depth of its international connections, and the United Kingdom tops the list for the breadth of its connections.?
?• Despite increasing its trade interaction in recent years, the United States ranks No. 25 overall. The United States is a leader in term of breadth (#3), but as is expected for a country with a very large internal market, it lags on depth (#84).??
• The lion's share of international connections are still concentrated among countries that share borders (such as in Northern Europe) as well as cultural and historical ties, which indicates that much of today's globalization is actually regionalization.??
• Larger countries score higher on the global breadth of their connections; smaller countries excel in the depth of their connectedness.??
• Countries that pursue public policies that directly encourage greater international flows, as well as policies that improve the domestic business environment, can enhance their global connectedness.
Georg Schaur, assistant professor of economics, The University of Tennessee told SCMR that if national initiatives shorten transit times, exporters and importers to benefit, because trade times decrease for both.
"Firms like short response times to smooth uncertainty," he said. "The bottom line is that firms like short response times for many reasons other than just capital cost savings of short delivery times."

About Micro Start/AFD
This loan is administered by Micro Start/AFD, Kiva's first Field Partner in Burkina Faso. Micro Start/AFD's mission is to improve families' living conditions in general, and those of women in particular, by facilitating access to financial and non-financial services.
Micro Start/AFD is a professional microfinance institution offering financial services, advice, and training. One of the organization's principal aims is to collect obligatory and voluntary savings that foster clients' financial independence. Micro Start/AFD also focuses on building female entrepreneurs' skills in management and business administration and improving the living conditions in its clients' communities. More information can be found on Micro Start's Kiva Field Partner Page.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Phelps Signs Extension With Speedo That Includes London Games
Published September 9, 2009
Phelps Will Continue To Consult Speedo On New Product Development Under New Contract |
WORKING ON NEW SUITS: BLOOMBERG NEWS' Christopher Elser reports Speedo plans to "release new swim suits in the next few months that conform to the new regulations instituted by FINA" (BLOOMBERG NEWS, 9/9). Warnaco Group President & CEO Joe Gromek said the company stopped production on the suits that were part of the ban and added Speedo will "try and make the distributors whole in this situation." Gromek: "There's opportunity here because the lead swimmers will need new uniforms and we will be able to provide new uniforms. We're working on innovative technology today that will be launched over the next couple of months and it will be the most extensive line of Speedo that we've seen today." He added the swimsuits worn by Phelps and other endorsers are a "very small part of the business; it's probably a couple of percentage points." However, Gromek noted it creates a "halo effect for the brand and it's very important. That's why it's so important to have Michael as our lead spokesperson for the brand as well" ("Squawk Box," CNBC, 9/9).

A Mind That Rebelled at Stagnation
In 1984, Grenada Television produced a television series called Sherlock Holmes. The famous detective has been portrayed by numerous people including Robert Downey Jr., Basil Rathbone, and Benedict Cumberbatch, but British actor Jeremy Brett played one of the most holmesian detectives ever put to screen. Brett was known for his passion and skill as Holmes, as well as the humor and grace that he brought to the role. He was accompanied by a Watson played by David Burke, no slouch himself in accompanying the consulting detective. Granada was able to adapt 42 of Conan Doyle's stories during the show's ten year lifespan. Below is the entirety of the series on various youtube channels. [more inside]

84 Years Later, Sherlock Holmes is Reborn in Print
While there has been quite a few pastiches, parodies, and new stories by fans of Sherlock Holmes over the years, there has been no new works to be placed in the canon of Sherlock Holmes since the final collection was published in 1927. But that is going to change in 2011: Anthony Horowitz has been chosen by Arthur Conan Doyle's estate to write an official Sherlock Holmes novel. Horowitz is the author of the Alex Rider series of young adult spy novels, The Power of Five series of fantasy suspense novels, and a number of TV writing credits. Until then, enjoy digital copies of the Sherlock Holmes canon, and then some. [more inside]
It's a three patch problem Watson.
Sherlock Holmes is running around modern day London. Airing Sundays on BBC1, The BBC has reinvented the master dectective and his sidekick for 2010. Sherlock is cast as a modern day "high functioning sociopath" while Watson is a former army doctor with PSTD returned from Afghanistan. It has been written and created by Doctor Who writers Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat.
Reviews are in and the update is a stellar success. The series has been sold worldwide, however UK viewers can watch with BBC iplayer. Rumor has it that those unwilling to wait for release can find alternative sources for viewing.

Sherlock Holmes and the Murder of Lord Waterbrook. Excellent new Russian animation (well, kinda new, anyway). Here's part 2.
Holmes, James
The Complete Sherlock Holmes, featuring "the largest collection of Holmesian graphics online", a Scholars' Wing featuring essays and articles, pastiche and parodies.
Arthur Conan Doyle's champion of logic and reason is the antithesis of the author's spiritualist beliefs. In his will (5.B), Doyle left sums of money to the Spiritualist Alliance of London and the Psychic College stating "...these institutions represent the most important religious movement that this world now holds". His belief in the occult and in particular fairies is surprising, yet somewhat understandable considering the era in which he lived.
Quite a three pipe metafilter post.
Sherlock Holmes: the quotations; the pipes; the author (the public house named after him - the worst in Scotland, judging by the comments); the top ten lists; the vulcan; the city; the monographs; the magazine; the marvelous stories, of course; and more.
It's Elementary Watson
It's Elementary Watson Apple is a big fat thief, and stealing fromthe third-party devleopers it claims to support no less. An Apple faithful, this ticks me off.
Apple stole the look, very features and functions of a shareware app called Watson and put it into Sherlock3.
Watson is the the very product Apple itself named a few months ago as the "Most Innovative Mac OS X Software". So, they know it exists and what it does, and instead off topping it, they took it. Pure and simple.
Did Apple pay for this? Did they buy them out? Did they even ask? Nope.
This is the final word from Watson's developer. Man they sound mad. I know I am. If anyone can get the word out, MF can.
I'm feeling the pull of a convergence...
