In Your Facebook: Social Sites Are Everywhere As social networking gains in global popularity, each culture takes a different approach.
With upwards of 400 million members, Facebook dominates the social networking scene in the United States. Facebook likes this.
It likes this so much, and people in turn like Facebook so much, it is spreading around the world faster than an oil plume. Started in 2004, Facebook had become the most popular social network in eight of the 10 top Internet markets in the world by the beginning of 2010, according to Vincenzo Cosenza. He keeps track of such things — using Alexa and Google Internet traffic reports — on Vincos Blog.
In a 2009 story on Facebook and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, Wired magazine outlined Zuckerberg's plans to colonize the Web. As Facebook continues its march toward global dominance, however, it is running into roadblocks here and there.
Certain countries — including Facebook's home, the U.S. — are concerned about privacy issues. When Facebook began linking user information to outside websites in April, the European Union reacted with alarm and urged the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company to provide more privacy tools to its users (Facebook has since adjusted its privacy controls to make it easier for users to protect their information). Other countries, such as China and Iran, are concerned about Facebook's Western-cultural influence on their citizens.
These two colliding climates provide a perfect hardiness zone on the Internet in which other countries' native social networking sites can flourish.
Because Facebook is blocked by the Chinese government, says Silicon Valley Web strategist Jeremiah Owyang, the site has been rendered "irrelevant" in mainland China — giving alternatives room to flourish. In fact, "China hosts the largest Internet community online," he explains, "and they developed their own tools."
Each culture adopts their own social network based on culture, infrastructure and technology.
Four social networks are thriving within China's borders, according to Cooltuan marketing strategist Kai Lukoff on the VentureBeat website: RenRen, Kaixin001, Qzone, and 51.com. "There is no trustworthy data on users or revenues. Every social network in China claims to be the largest," Lukoff writes. "The short and sweet is this: Qzone has the most users, RenRen has the most active users, and Kaixin001 has the most highly active users. 51.com users are the most rural."
Indigenous social networking sites in other countries continue to attract humongous numbers despite Facebook's aggressiveness. Some sites are for flirting, others for business networking, still others for tracking down old friends and classmates. A few sites are banned in more restrictive countries. Others have age restrictions. The edgy United Kingdom-based Faceparty, for instance, banned all members older than 36 in 2008. To join many of the sites, you must be 13 or older.
A number of internationally oriented sites, such as LiveJournal, which is popular in Russia, and Orkut, the most popular social networking site in Brazil, are run by American companies.
Badoo. Pop: 60 million. Most users live in: Europe. Headquarters: Cyprus. Tagline: "Worldwide socializing system." Cool Tool: "Rise Up" — for 1 euro you can catapult your profile to prominence.
Hyves. Pop: 10 million. Most users live in: The Netherlands. Headquarters: Amsterdam. Tagline: "Always in touch with your friends." Cool Tool: Seamless interplay with MySpace.
Mixi. Pop: 20 million. Most users live in: Japan. Headquarters: Tokyo. Tagline: "Connect with friends and acquaintances." Cool Tool: "Rekoo's Sunshine Ranch," a virtual farming application.
Netlog. Pop: 64 million. Most users live in: Belgium, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Romania and Turkey. Headquarters: Ghent, Belgium. Tagline: "Live it. Log it." Cool Tool: "Love Clock" lets you show everyone how much time you spend with your significant other.
Nexopia. Pop: 1.2 million. Most users live in: Canada. Headquarters: Edmonton, Alberta. Tagline: "The online place for teens to connect and express themselves." Cool Tool: "The Spotlight" showcases random users in a prominent spot.
Odnoklassniki. Pop: 45 million. Most users live in: Russia. Headquarters: Moscow. Tagline: "Search classmates; find friends." Cool Tool: "Tell a Story" encourages users to say how the website has changed their lives.
Skyrock. Pop: 22 million. Most users live in: France. Headquarters: Paris. Tagline: "Free People Network." Cool Tool: Top 100 — personal blogs are ranked by number of monthly visitors.
Sonico. Pop: 17 million. Most users live in: Latin America. Headquarters: Buenos Aires. Tagline: "Organize Your Life Online." Cool Tool: "Burger Island," a time management social game.
Vkontakte. Pop: 75 million. Most users live in: Russia. Headquarters: Moscow. Tagline: "An all-purpose tool for finding friends, both old and new." Cool Tool: Vkontake is available in more than 60 languages.
Like Vkontakte, many social networking sites -– such as the 25 million-strong Viadeo Global Social Networking and Campus Networking — are multilingual. Facebook is available in more than 70 languages.
"Facebook has a number of international offices, and if they're interested in being truly global, they'll need to understand the cultural nuances that they'll face in other countries," says Scott Monty, head of social media for Ford Motor Co. and overseer of The Social Media Marketing Blog.
It's absolutely essential, he adds, "that Facebook — or any other company doing business globally — does not simply try to take an American approach to its efforts. It absolutely needs to be culturally sensitive and consistent with the norms of the local markets."
Despite the fact that the Internet is global, people's desires to interact may not be. "Each culture adopts their own social network based on culture, infrastructure and technology," says Owyang, the Silicon Valley strategist. "What's relevant in New York City won't matter in other parts of the world." And, presumably, what's popular in other countries around the globe will not necessarily play in Peoria.

We are interested in the drift-diffusion system near quasi-neutrality. For this system, classical explicit schemes are decoupled but subject to severe numerical constraints in the quasi-neutral regime. By constrast, the implicit discretizations are unconditionally stable but non linearly coupled. Then, an iterative method must be used yielding a large numerical cost. Here, we propose a new decoupled asymptotic preserving scheme. We perform one and two dimensional numerical experiments which show its good behavior.

When Tawna Fenske finished her English lit degree at 22, she celebrated by filling a giant trash bag full of romance novels and dragging it everywhere until she'd read them all.

She loves hiking, snowshoeing, standup paddleboarding, and inventing excuses to sip wine on her back porch.

"Paul Hammond?" She blinked a few more times to see if the broad-shouldered, desperately hot lumberjack would morph into the tubby, balding, middle-aged man she'd pictured on the phone. "You're the guy from my Thursday group yoga class."
She flushed as soon as the words left her mouth. It was the biggest class she taught—at least 30 students—and the fact that she'd noticed him probably revealed too much.
But she had noticed him. A lot. She was just surprised to see him here now for one of her private yoga lessons on a standup paddleboard. Cami cleared her throat and tried again. "So you're the gourmet chef whose doctor prescribed a fitness program?"
He laughed, a warm, jubilant sound that made her toes curl. His well-trimmed beard and massive biceps completed the lumberjack image, assuming lumberjacks sported orange floral swim trunks and bare feet.
"Technically, my doctor didn't prescribe a fitness program. It was my brother—who happens to be a doctor—harassing me to change up my exercise routine." He grinned, and Cami felt her spleen do a somersault. "You thought I'd be wheeled here on a stretcher with a heart monitor on my chest and a leg of lamb dangling from my lips?"
Cami swallowed, pretty sure it was the lamb and not the mention of his chest and lips making her mouth water.
You've never eaten lamb, she reminded herself.
Cami tucked a flyaway chestnut curl behind her ear and surreptitiously swiped the back of her hand over her mouth. Good, she wasn't drooling in front of a client. Always a plus.
"Of course I didn't expect that," she lied, trying hard not to fixate on the intense grass-green color of his eyes. "You filled out my online intake form with your height and weight so I'd know which paddleboard to bring for your lesson."
She just hadn't made the connection between that online registration form and the student she'd been admiring in the back of her group yoga class for two months.

Well, I had never fancied to have a bathhouse, but then I saw one in the neighbourhood, and I liked it. So I decided to order the same for myself. I am really happy about my bathhouse, you can just come in and wash. It looks great, and what is more, it's made from greenfield to operations, on turnkey basis. It's just as nice as can be for me. Many thanks to the company.
We ordered a bathhouse at the Luckybath (Udachnayabanya) Company. And to my mind the bathhouse is really lucky! Because, first of all, the boys who came to work on it, proved to be diligent, pulling together, and what I liked most, they didn't use bad words, which is really great! Each of them did his part of job, it was clear that it wasn't their first time, it was a good piece of a teamwork. It is the evidence of the quality of working. It took them just a few hours to assemble the bathhouse, the bathhouse is very nice, everything is done properly, if there were any small bugs I noticed, they improved everything on the spot. It was a faultless job. So, we only have to use it now: wash, enjoy the steam-bath, I think everything is going to be all right. We just have to soak it, we'll do it, and it will work properly. Well, what else is there to say? Employ the Luckybath Company, it is quite trustworthy!
I have found the Luckybath company myself, as I live not far from their office. What was redeeming, the fact that the rackman came at once, we made clear a few points relating to the fact the plot is sometimes flooded, so it was necessary to make a higher foundation for the bathhouse, which of course makes a special problem for assembly, as you can see. But nevertheless, they've made it in no time, and with a good quality as far as I can judge. Also rewarding is that the workers obviously love their job. So they made it very meticulously, even walking in bare-footed not to bring in any dirt. Well, to make the long story short, I would recommend the company to many of my friends… For that matter, I have already recommended it to a friend of mine. The company will cope with any orders. I am really grateful to them and am going to turn to them for other matters too.
To buy a bathhouse we turned to the Luckybath Company. When choosing the design, we wanted it to have two rooms, to be comfortable, so we could both wash there and use it for other purposes. The price was also good for us. Assembling the bathhouse, the builders did a really good job, no faults were found, and nothing happened to it during the winter. I am really happy with the bathhouse, I spend there all my spare time, so thank you ever so much for such an excellent bathhouse!
It takes one day to set the construction!
The steam bath is hot in 30 minutes!

The last time French drum'n'synth krautrock revivalists Zombie Zombie got together, it was to add driving beats to the soundtrack work of one-finger synth maestro John Carpenter. It's a groove they clearly got stuck in: second album proper 'Rituels D'un Nouveau Monde' (Rituals Of A New World, in English) maintains that air of creeping threat and otherwordliness. Your enjoyment of it will be limited by your appreciation of largely instrumental music: if you can get past the sensation that you're listening to the bedding tracks from '90s gameshow The Crystal Maze, there's plenty to enjoy here.

Vosjod 1, también llamada Voskhod 1, () fue el séptimo vuelo espacial soviético tripulado, el primero del programa Vosjod. En octubre de 1964 logró varios hitos en la historia de los vuelos espaciales tripulados, siendo el primer vuelo espacial en llevar a más de un miembro de la tripulación a la órbita, el primer vuelo sin el uso de trajes espaciales, y el primero en llevar un ingeniero o un médico al espacio exterior. También situó el récord de altitud de una nave espacial tripulada a .

Se decidió prescindir de los tres trajes espaciales para el Vosjod 1, ya que tampoco disponían de espacio ni de un margen de peso en la Vosjod para llevarlos. La Vosjod original había sido diseñada para llevar solamente dos cosmonautas, pero los políticos soviéticos presionaron para llevar a tres. La siguiente misión del programa, Vosjod 2, llevó dos cosmonautas equipados con trajes espaciales, necesarios para que Alexei Leonov realizara el primer paseo espacial de la Historia.

Heading To Europe And The Olympics of Architecture
January 25, 2016: News
"Social media has the ability to break down the hierarchy between the artistic institution and the public, but we need to remain aware that the ideas behind these exhibitions can be reduced and diluted to visual icons." Antonia Lapwood
Architectural graduate Antonia Lapwood has been awarded the 2016 Warren and Mahoney International Scholarship to attend the Venice Architecture Biennale which starts in May this year and runs for six months. The University of Auckland alumna will spend two weeks as a volunteer at the New Zealand pavilion, co-ordinated by the New Zealand Institute of Architects and entitled 'Future Islands'.
The Biennale, which promotes debate around design and urban planning, was established in 1980. It is regarded as "the Olympics of architecture" with more than 65 countries taking part. For Lapwood, an Architectural Graduate at Warren and Mahoney, this is an exciting opportunity to glean a more global perspective on her chosen profession. "I'm looking forward to investigating how the digital age has changed the traditional experience of the Biennale," she says.
Although the 23-year-old will record her discoveries and thoughts using on-line platforms such as Twitter and Instagram, she has her feet planted firmly in reality. "Social media has the ability to break down the hierarchy between the artistic institution and the public, but we need to remain aware that the ideas behind these exhibitions can be reduced and diluted to visual icons.
In an era when we are bombarded with thousands of images daily, we should retain focus on the ideas behind the images and keep questioning why we post what we do."
Lapwood cites one high point of her fledgling career as a studio paper she undertook with San Diego-based social urbanist Teddy Cruz. The outcome was an exhibition at The Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tàmaki which looked at ways local businesses and residents could reconnect with the Whau River that runs through suburbs in west Auckland. "Both industrial and residential zones have turned their back to the river, choosing to ignore it as opposed to seeing it as an asset to utilise," Lapwood explains.
Cruz advocated an innovative 'top down/bottom up' approach of activating change, where community involvement and government legislation met in the middle.
Further architectural exhibitions Lapwood has participated in include a team installation at the 2011 Rugby World Cup Fan Trail which enhanced the sensory experience of supporters on their way to Eden Park and, as a member of the Design Collective Four/Two/One, an installation for Urbis Design Day 2015 entitled "Head in The Clouds"
Attending the Biennale will allow Lapwood to further research the relationship between architecture, art and installation. "Installations are places of experimentation, provocation and commentary, liberated from the limitations of conventional architectural function. When architectural ideas are presented in an installation or exhibition, it encourages people to understand them openly within a contemplative platform," she says.
In announcing Lapwood as the recipient of the scholarship, the panel was impressed by her research into the history and role of the Biennale. "We are confident Antonia will act as a superb ambassador at this world-class event," says John Coop, convenor of judges and principal at Warren and Mahoney.

Two felons break out of an Alaskan maximum security prison in the middle of winter. When they find come across a train leaving a depot it seems like their ticket to freedom and escape from the snow and the cold – but a freak accident traps them aboard as the unmanned train picks up speed, out of control and unable to be stopped. This is Runaway Train (1985). Starring Jon Voight (Midnight Cowboy, Heat) and Eric Roberts (The Pope of Greenwich Village, The Dark Knight) as the escapees and directed by Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky, Runaway Train is an unexpectedly brilliant thriller – but why is it on Kino 893?
Because it was based on an undeveloped screenplay than none other than Akira Kurosawa.
Akira Kurosawa is surely one of the most well-known Japanese filmmakers, and it was exploring some of his classic samurai films that prompted me to create this blog. I wanted to explore more of his work and that led me to Kagemusha (1980). While I hope to watch some of his films from other genres soon, Kagemusha is nevertheless interesting even though it's another samurai epic. It marks the first Kurosawa film I've seen in colour – only his third overall, following Dodeskaden and the Soviet-Japanese production Dersu Uzala. Even though colour film seemed to arrive late in Japan, Kurosawa continued working in black and white well into the 1960s. Kagemusha is also striking to me for the absence of Toshiro Mifune, Kurosawa's longtime collaborator. The 1965 film Red Beard was their last work, but instead Kagemusha features Tastuya Nakadai as the lead – unrecognisable from his earlier appearances as villains in Kurosawa's Yojimbo and Sanjuro.

My best purchase this year was Vaesen. The game has been hyped like crazy and I feel it really lives up to it. Johan Egerkrans' art is incredible and inspiring. I quickly picked up his original book on Vaesen, then Undead, and Nordic Gods. They're all absolutely brilliant. The game captures a unique feel and experience, similar to a few other games but unique enough to be its own.
This is one game I think everyone should experience at least once in their lives.

Forbidden Lands. No Contest! It has rekindled my desire to explore the unexplored. I had forgotten about the mystery and wonderment of hex adventuring (I don't say hex crawl because it sometimes has a bad connotation). I enjoy the FL sandbox and it has strengthened my improvisation skills. Many of the ideas and rules have creeped into my other games.
I have also been passing on the enjoyment of hex adventuring to others. Nothing can beat that sparkle in their eye when they come across the dilapidated tower on their journey. Then the gears that turn in my head to bring it to life. That is why I love this hobby!!

Glad you're enjoying that box set of "Night Below" that you got from @Fafhrd ! I almost bought it but timing just wasn't right (long story). I still want to run it so I'll probably get it as POD from DTRPG.
Rweston December 30, 2021, 8:33am #16
Thanks Mathieu!
It was a great purchase, and Brett went above and beyond by including his Avalon book & some cool Gaming & BS swag. In retrospect I should not have been surprised, but I did a happy dance about the game room when I opened the box.
Hope you had a great Christmas and have a Happy & Covid-free New years!


You probably noticed that this has been a weird, boring week in the presidential race. After all the tumult of the couple of weeks before—the leaked "47 percent" videos and Romney's tax return—we seemed to break very little new ground, other than some minor skirmishing over the U.N. meeting. Which is odd, considering that there are now only 39 days left until Election Day. But actually this is a good illustration of today's media-driven campaign cycle: nothing happened because we, as the press, decided that nothing was going to happen until the debates.
Crass? Lazy? Maybe. But we know this: over the last several weeks, Romney has careened from one self-inflicted disaster to the next, and state-level polling has shown him facing widening deficits in the key states. He doesn't seem to be improving as a candidate, and when he opens his mouth in unscripted settings, things go badly for him. (Even the candidates appear to agree that we're not going to learn much from another stump appearance or three: they're both heading off the trail this weekend to hunker down for multi-day prep sessions.) The approach of the debates always erts a kind of black-hole-like pull on journalists—gotta get that curtain-raiser posted!—but Romney's verbal handicap only heightens the feeling that if a fading race is going to be reinvigorated, it'll happen up there on stage, as the candidates (and, once, their understudies) clash weekly over the course of October, live in your living room. So: prepare to tune in. And you can ignore that U.N. stuff.
Oh, and check out our own Robert Draper's excellent take on the debates in the October issue, or online here.

BORDER ISSUES
About 4,000 troops to remain at U.S. border through January
U.S. officials say the number of active-duty troops on the border with Mexico will drop from 5,600 to about 4,000, and their deployment will be extended through the end of January.
Officials say the Department of Homeland Security submitted a formal request for the additional military support Friday. It hasn't been approved by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.
But military officials have been working with Homeland Security for weeks to help craft a request that would be accepted by the Pentagon.
President Donald Trump deployed the troops to the border in response to a caravan of migrants walking to the U.S. from Central America. Critics had called the deployment a political stunt before the midterm elections.
U.S. officials talked about the troop deployment on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

Łukasz Cieślewicz (ur. 15 listopada 1987 w Gnieźnie) – polski piłkarz występujący na pozycji pomocnika, zawodnik Víkingur Gøta.

Życiorys
Syn Roberta, brat Adriana. Przeprowadził się na Wyspy Owcze, gdy miał 12 lat, kiedy jego ojciec wyjechał, aby grać dla ÍF Fuglafjørður.

Kariera klubowa
Cieślewicz zaczął grać w piłkę nożną w polskim klubie Mieszko Gniezno. Jako junior występował na Wyspach Owczych w VB Vagur. W 2003 w wieku 16 lat przeprowadził się do Danii, aby grać dla Brøndby IF.

W Brøndby IF grał z drużyną rezerwową klubu w duńskiej 2. lidze, stając się ulubieńcem kibiców. W Brøndby nie występował w pierwszym zespole, a więc został wypożyczony do Hvidovre IF z I dywizji. Po serii dobrych występów, które pomogły Hvidovre IF uniknąć spadku, został w klubie podpisując 1 lipca 2008 dwuletni kontrakt. Latem 2010 był testowany w Lyngby BK, po nieosiągnięciu konsensusu wrócił do Hvidovre. 9 stycznia 2011 Cieślewicz podpisał umowę z B36 Tórshavn z Betrideildin. 19 czerwca 2011 na stadionie Gundadalur (Thorshavn, Wyspy Owcze) strzelił hat-tricka w wygranym 4–1 meczu ligowym przeciwko KÍ Klaksvík. 16 października 2011 na stadionie Við Løkin (Runavík, Wyspy Owcze) strzelił także zwycięskiego gola w wygranym 2:1 meczu przeciwko NSÍ Runavík utrzymując tym samym przewagę nad EB/Streymur i pomógł B36 zdobyć dziewiąty tytuł w lidze. Pod koniec sezonu został nazwany Graczem Roku w lidze, po tym jak pojawił się we wszystkich 27 meczach i strzelił 17 bramek. W listopadzie 2012 był testowany w Warcie Poznań, ale w styczniu 2013 wrócił do B36. W styczniu 2013 dołączył do polskiej drużyny Ruch Chorzów z Ekstraklasy na próbę; w dwóch meczach towarzyskich strzelił dwie bramki, ale ówczesny trener Ruchu Jacek Zieliński nie zaproponował mu kontraktu. Po dwóch meczach pozostałych w sezonie 2014 Cieślewicz pomógł swojej drużynie w zdobyciu dziesiątego tytułu. W lipcu 2015 Cieślewicz po raz pierwszy w życiu grał ze swoim bratem Adrianem Cieślewiczem w pierwszej rundzie eliminacyjnej Ligi Mistrzów. Bracia pojawili się w obu grach, a Łukasz strzelił gola w drugim meczu, ale B36 został ostatecznie wyeliminowany przez walijski klub The New Saints. Łukasz został wybrany Pomocnikiem Roku i Graczem Roku sezonu 2015.

23 listopada 2019 podpisał roczny kontrakt z Víkingur Gøta. W farerskim klubie zadebiutował 9 maja 2020 na stadionie Skansi Arena (Argir, Wyspy Owcze) w zremisowanym 0:0 meczu przeciwko AB Argir, w 83. minucie gry został zmieniony przez Noaha Mneneya. Debiutanckiego gola dla Víkingura strzelił 17 maja 2020 na stadionie Sarpugerði (Norðragøta, Wyspy Owcze) w wygranym 5:2 meczu przeciwko Skáli ÍF.
