Facebook launches Interactive Map of its Live Video feature
Facebook has made its Interactive Map available on May 18
Facebook's Interactive Map, first introduced in April, has just gone global. The feature allows users to view live streams from any user in the world, from Greenland to North Korea, turning every Facebook into a voyeur.
For now, the Interactive Map is only available through Facebook on Web. It can be accessed by pressing the "Live Video" button on the navigation bar. An interactive map of the world will pop up, on which little blue dots will indicate the places where users are live streaming. The bigger the dot, the more popular the live stream is. To get a preview of the video, just hovering over the dot will show one.
The Interactive Map also allows you to see where the viewers of a particular feed are located. Hovering over the dots will release lines that will connect the place the stream is being broadcast from with that where the viewer is located.
The move is encouraging users of the popular social platform to share more of their lives with the world. However, it seems that for the moment, the most popular live streaming videos belonged to media outlets rather than individuals. It also allows Facebook to enter the race with competitors such as Periscope, Snapchat, and Meerkat, and why not, give them a run for their money.
Live streams entice viewers to interact more, and the new Facebook feature allows users to react and comment on live videos. According to Facebook vice president of product management Will Cathcart, the social media platform wanted to tap into the popularity of live video streams. Live videos, he noted, attract up to 10 times more comments, compared to regular videos. Also, statistics show that viewers spend an average three times more time watching live videos than they do watching regular clips.
As people can now take better quality videos, Cathcart said, Facebook sought to make video a "well-supported" part of the social media platform. The global launch of Interactive Map is expected to become very profitable as well for the social media platform, which currently counts 1.65 billion users worldwide. Should it offer the live streams to advertisers, the company can look forward to a new solid revenue stream.

REVIEW: Trashman's Dilemma @ Ottawa Fringe 2012
June 22, 2012 By Kurt Shantz 2 Comments
Scruffy Theatre Production's Trashman's Dilemma takes us into a world where speech has been replaced by telepathic communication via implant in the brain and shows us men learning to communicate verbally once more when their implants fail them.
The cast of Trashman's Dilemma tell you why you should see it:
The Trashman's Dilemma is about two soldiers in a post-apocalyptic future, where talking is no longer necessary thanks to computer chips implanted in their head. When they are abandoned in a dead zone where their chips don't work, they are forced to talk and soon realize they are not the only ones in the zone.
What's so impressive and noteworthy about the Trashman's Dilemma is that the three actors switch roles for every performance, so you get a different show each time and it encourages audiences to come back. It's a pretty clever marketing strategy. What's more, all three actors are great in the show, and when this is coupled with an intriguing story and design, it makes for one of the most compelling shows in the fringe circuit. Even if you can't see it all three times, you should still see it at least once, because The Trashman's Dilemma is a strong four.
Allan's followup:
Trashman's Dilemma was very interesting if not a touch too far out of the box and odd at some points. While the story was largely interesting – two soldiers in a dystopic future become "redundant" and meet up with an outcast civilian in an abandoned building and learn something about themselves – Trashman's Dilemma feels more like a piece written to show off the abilities of the actors than to convey any story or ask any deeper questions. The interesting concept of rediscovering language in a world where people generally speak via telepathic implant was only touched on a very shallow level, and it was more about the dramatic tension between these three very at odds characters. The fact that a big selling point for the show was that the actors rotate roles every night doesn't dissuade me from believing this was more about the acting exercise.
Does that make it bad? Not at all. The actors - Eric Bleyendaal, Michael Adam Hogan, Andrei Preda - are very, very strong, at least in the roles I saw them playing. They were fully engrossing playing out their individual conflicts and characters – and since each of the three characters was very different from one another, extra kudos to them if they're able to play each character with the same gusto. Just go in expecting deep character relations and stories rather than getting any answers about the world they live in or deeper understanding about language or the human condition – which the promo might suggest. High three.

Playing Ted Bundy Challenged Zac Efron's Mental Health
Health & Fitness July 19, 2019
Most actors indulge in method acting so they can play roles to a T, sometimes even living their lives as their characters would have, as long as the filming is underway. We are sure you've heard of the story where actor Jared Leto became the joker even when the camera wasn't rolling, during filming of the movie The Suicide Squad. He managed to freak out a lot of his co-stars!
It's a different case with Zac Efron, whose Netflix movie Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, premiered on May 3. The actor admitted his mental health was put to the test while filming, which was the reason he couldn't do method acting even if he badly wanted to do so.
Efron admitted that this was the first film where he was able to compartmentalize himself, simply put he separated himself from his character instead of becoming it, which he usually does. How could he, when he is portraying notorious serial killer Ted Bundy? The actor said that whenever he went home after shooting, he left Bundy's character behind on the film set, for the safety of his emotional and mental health.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile tells the tale of Bundy who killed a total of 30 women during the 1970s. The story was built on the perspective of Elizabeth Kloepfer, Bundy's girlfriend. The film has received a lot of backlash when the trailer was released, with some people calling out the film for glamorizing the life of a serial killer.
Efron could not disagree more, which is why he and film director Joe Berlinger went out of their way to assure the public that they were not glamorizing or glorifying a horrendous killer like Bundy. Berlinger clarified that his movie only depicts how a serial killer deceived and manipulated people throughout his life, that delayed his capture and enabled him to even escape from the authorities.
Efron has starred in a series of funny, romantic and lighthearted movies in the past, and with this new dark movie, his fans would probably be glad to see him play his usual roles again.

"The Affordable Care Act" FEDERAL SUBSIDIES Health Care Law HHS Chief Supreme Court Sylvia Burwell
HHS Chief: Onus On Congress, States If Health Aid Annulled
Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, June 10, 2015, before the House Ways and Means Committee hearing on President Barack Obama's health care law. Burwell said it will be up to Congress and the states to decide what to do should the Supreme Court annul federal subsidies that are a cornerstone of President Barack Obama's health care law.

WASHINGTON-- It will be up to Congress and the states to respond should the Supreme Court annul federal subsidies that are a cornerstone of President Barack Obama's health care law, the administration's top health official told Congress on Wednesday.
In her remarks to the Republican-run House Ways and Means Committee, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell underscored the administration's effort to keep pressure on the GOP should that financial assistance be struck down. Republicans run Congress, and 26 of the 34 states likely to be most affected if the subsidies are voided have GOP governors.
Republicans pushed back, chiding the administration for a lack of cooperation, in a hearing that illustrated how Obama's 5-year-old law remains a partisan flashpoint, likely to reverberate through next year's presidential and congressional elections.
The Supreme Court is expected to rule this month on a lawsuit by conservatives asserting that the subsidies that help millions afford health care are legal only in states running their own insurance market places.
In the 34 states using the federal HealthCare.gov website that are expected to be hardest hit if the aid is invalidated, 7.3 million people have signed up for coverage and made initial payments. Of those, about 88 percent- 6.4 million people - receive federal subsidies averaging $272 monthly.
Should the court annul the aid, "The critical decisions will sit with Congress, the states and governors to determine if those subsidies are available," Burwell said.
The subsidies are disbursed to recipients as tax credits. Should they be eliminated, millions of people could be forced to drop health coverage they'd find too expensive.
Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., repeatedly asked Burwell if Obama would work with lawmakers to overhaul the law "or is he going to put concrete around his ankles and say, `My law or nothing?' "
Burwell said the administration "is going to do everything we can" to get ready to communicate and work with states.
She said if Congress sends Obama a law that improves "affordability, quality and access, we are open to those things."
Ryan also said recent efforts by insurers to boost premiums are the latest evidence that Obama's health care overhaul law "just doesn't work" and must be replaced.
"Whatever the Supreme Court decides this month, I think the lesson is clear. Obamacare is busted. It just doesn't work. And no quick fix can change this fact," said Ryan, his party's 2012 vice presidential candidate.
Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan, top Democrat on the Ways and Means panel, said the only thing broken is the GOP's attacks on the law.
"You sit as arm-chair critics as millions of people have insurance who never had it before," Levin said. "You're livid because it's getting better?"
Obama said Tuesday that his law was now embedded in the country's health care system and said the court shouldn't have accepted the case. He also mocked "unending Chicken Little warnings" from opponents who warned that the law would abridge people's freedom.
"There's something, I have to say, just deeply cynical about the ceaseless, endless partisan attempts to roll back progress," Obama said at the Catholic Hospital Association conference.
Obama has said a "one-sentence provision" could repair the problem if the court bars subsidies for states without their own marketplaces, but Republicans have rejected that approach.
Instead, top House and Senate Republicans have been working privately toward legislation restoring aid to those losing it until sometime in 2017. It would also eliminate parts of the health overhaul, such as its requirement that companies insure workers. That would almost certainly draw a veto from Obama.
Republican lawmakers say they will unveil their plan once the justices rule, though there are no indications they have united behind a particular plan. They hope a Republican will inhabit the White House in 2017 so they can repeal the current law and enact one less expansive.
According to the most recent figures from Burwell's agency, 10.2 million people nationally have obtained insurance coverage under the health law from state and federal marketplaces and started paying for it.
As insurers begin filing their premium requests for next year with state agencies, some seeking large increases are blaming unexpectedly high costs from covering more patients under the health care law and rising prescription drug prices.
Regulators can block the requested increases in some states while officials can pressure insurers to curb their increases in others.

Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang's comment on 2020 WASSCE Results unacceptable of a Stateswoman
2nd Jun 2021 Ababiopeter News, World Leave a comment
I have come across a video of Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, in an interview on TV XYZ indicating that the results of the 2020 WASSCE were without merits. This she indicated in response to a question being asked her concerning the Free SHS Policy.
I found the comment very unfortunate from a well-respected Stateswoman. I understand that, this comment is coloured with some form of political affiliations, however, I find it displeasing that, the political scope of our country has grown badly to the extent that, sensitive discussions such as the progress of a flagship social intervention programme like Free SHS could be politicized badly to create an dint on the image of the country.
One would expect that, a Stateswoman who has served in very influential capacity in this country such as Vice Chancellor of a prestigious university like the University of Cape Coast (doubling as the first female vice Chancellor of a public university in Ghana) and also serving as Education Minister of the Republic and finally rising to be a Running Mate of a Presidential Candidate in the just ended 2020 General Elections, would not be found sacrificing the image of the country on the altar of political affiliations.
No one should see this as an attack on the personality of the Stateswoman because, that is not so, however, it is heartbreaking and distasteful for someone who has been in the hem of affairs of Education in this country to make such comments as if she never encountered the challenges she highlighted as the reasons to which she believes the results were without merits.
It must be noted that critics of Prof. Opoku-Agyemang are not new to the educational sector of our country, nonetheless, the question, I seek to ask, under her tenure as Minister of Education, did we or did we not encounter the similar challenges as she pinpoints, and does that in anyway juxtapose that, all WASSCE results were compromised and that, they were without merits, as she claims last year's results were? Or it's due to the increase in performance? I seem not to get this!
How on earth can a Former Minister of Education claim that, since "She heard or We heard" of leaked questions, it affirms that, the government sort-off provided the examination questions to the students in order to pass?
Dear Prof. does that then mean that, "when we also heard" that exams questions have been leaked and that some results were even cancelled under your regime as Minister, those results were also compromised and that the government sort-off provided the examination questions to the students who passed? Very unfortunate right?
With all due respect to the renowned Professor, her comments poses a threat to the future of young school children in the country on the global front, it also casts dinted image on the tireless efforts of our teachers and management of Senior High Schools in Ghana and also created the impression that, Ghanaian SHS students can only pass their WASSCE exams at the support of the government by providing examination questions to them.
Isn't it obvious that, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang is exercising intellectual dishonesty and wouldn't like to appreciate the achievement of the students who sat for the exams last year? Isn't it obvious that, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang is not in the state of encouraging teachers who in the wake of this global pandemic are working assiduously to ensure that, students excel in their final exams?
Should we also conclude that, based on the comment from the Former Education Minister, she doesn't wish the country well? No one is against her critics, but comments of such nature cannot be termed as constructive critics but major threats to the progress of the country and the protection of the dignity of this country and I strongly oppose to this attempt from a Stateswoman of her kind.
Dear Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, you have the ambition to be the Vice President of this country. If the People of Ghana voted for you in December, 2020, you would have been the first Vice President of this Republic, I do not in anyway think, you would have been happy if any Former Education Minister made such comments about the results of our dear SHS Students.
I would take it as if you never meant to pass such a comment, hence, my humble plead to you is to kindly render an unqualified apology to our students, teachers, management of various Senior High Schools and the entire country for this unfortunate and unacceptable comment which has casted a bad image on the reputation of our country.
I do accept there are lots of flaws within our education system and that persons like you are in the best position to help solve them but politically motivated comments such as this is highly unacceptable and the least to be expected from a Stateswoman.

All Progressives Congress chieftain, Mr Bola Tinubu, has asked the government to immediately convert unused land to grazing routes as this will curb incessant clashes between farmers and herdsmen.
Tinubu, represented by an Executive Commissioner of Nigerian Communications Commission, Mr Sunday Dare, said contrary to speculations, the crisis was not caused by religious or political differences but by water scarcity.
Also speaking, a former Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nuhu Ribadu, noted that the crisis had nothing to do with the fact that President Muhammadu Buhari is a Fulani man.
Ribadu, who is also a chieftain of APC, said, on the contrary, most nomadic Fulani herders felt marginalised under the Buhari government.
He said, "People have continued to misunderstand what is going on. Mr Buhari has nothing to do with what is going on. In fact, the Fulani are even angry with him because they think he has abandoned them.
In his remarks, National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Mr Abdullahi Bodejo, said some of the solutions to the current crisis included the immediate suspension of the anti-grazing law as well as the release of herders arrested in Benue in the course of enforcing the law.

(Arcola) Quarters for the Enslaved
24837 Evergreen Mills Road
No public access at this time
Proposed Interpretive Master Plan
The goal of the Arcola Quarters for the Enslaved Interpretive Master Plan is to determine what interpretive services and techniques will best communicate the most important stories, values, meanings and ideas of the site to the visiting public while preserving and utilizing the existing historic structures and site features. Read the proposed plan:
Proposed Interpretive Master Plan for the Arcola Quarters for the Enslaved
The historic structure was proffered to the county by the Swiss developer Hazout SA. The nonprofit organization, Friends of the Slave Quarters, hopes to develop and implement a preservation plan for the site and an interpretive plan for the buildings and grounds in order to increase public awareness and support educational activities regarding Loudoun County's African-American history.
Historic Significance
The Arcola Quarters for the Enslaved is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and Virginia Historic Landmarks Registry. The site taps into interest already stimulated by ongoing research into the life of those people who were enslaved at nearby properties, including Oatlands Plantation (run by the National Trust for Historic Preservation) and Sully Plantation (run by Fairfax County).
Neither Sully nor Oatlands has a dwelling for the enslaved still standing; therefore, this building also represents an important resource for regional research on architectural styles. The site will be a unique addition to the county's park properties, while helping to fill in some of the gaps in Loudoun's rich and varied history.
For more information, call the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services at 703-777-0343.

Negative environmental impacts of antibiotic-contaminated effluents from pharmaceutical industries
Bielen, Ana; Šimatović, Ana; Kosić-Vukšić, Josipa; Senta, Ivan; Ahel, Marijan; Babić, Sanja; Jurina, Tamara; González Plaza, Juan José; Milaković, Milena; Udiković-Kolić, Nikolina (2017) Negative environmental impacts of antibiotic-contaminated effluents from pharmaceutical industries. Water Research, 126 . pp. 79-87. ISSN 0043-1354
Official URL: http://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2017.09.019
Effluents from pharmaceutical industries are recognized as significant contributors to aquatic pollution with antibiotics. Although such pollution has been mostly reported in Asia, knowledge on industrial discharges in other regions of the world, including Europe, and on the effects associated with such exposures is still limited. Thus, we performed chemical, microbiological and ecotoxicological analyses of effluents from two Croatian pharmaceutical industries during four seasons. In treated effluents of the company synthesizing macrolide antibiotic azithromycin (AZI), the total concentration of AZI and two macrolide by-products from its synthesis was 1e3 orders of magnitude higher in winter and springtime (up to 10.5 mg/L) than during the other two seasons (up to 638 mg/L). Accordingly, the highest total concentrations (up to 30 mg/L) in the recipient river were measured in winter and spring. Effluents from second company formulating veterinary antibiotics contained fluoroquinolones, trimethoprim, sulfonamides and tetracyclines ranging from low mg/L to approx. 200 mg/L. Low concentrations of these antibiotics, from below the limit of quantification to approx. few mg/L, have also been measured in the recipient stream. High frequency of culturable bacteria resistant to AZI (up to 83%) or sulfamethazine (up to 90%) and oxytetracycline (up to 50%) were also found in studied effluents. Finally, we demonstrated that toxicity to algae and water fleas often exceeded the permitted values. Most highly contaminated effluents induced multiple abnormalities in zebrafish embryos. In conclusion, using a wide array of analyses we have demonstrated that discharges from pharmaceutical industries can pose a significant ecological and public health concern due to their toxicity to aquatic organisms and risks for promoting development and spread of antibiotic resistance.

Josef Engemann (* 9. April 1926 in Berlin; † 14. November 2020 in Salzburg) war ein deutscher Christlicher Archäologe.

Leben
Josef Engemann studierte zunächst Katholische Theologie, wechselte aber zur Klassischen Archäologie. 1964 wurde er an der Universität zu Köln bei Heinz Kähler im Fach Klassische Archäologie mit der Dissertation Architekturdarstellungen des frühen Zweiten Stils zum Dr. phil. promoviert und war anschließend am Bonner Franz Joseph Dölger-Institut tätig. Von 1965 bis 1998 nahm er regelmäßig an den Grabungskampagnen des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts in Abu Mena (Ägypten) teil. 1972 habilitierte er sich an der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn für Christliche Archäologie mit einer Untersuchungen zur Sepulkralsymbolik der späteren römischen Kaiserzeit.

Die Universität Bonn ernannte ihn 1975 zum apl. Professor. Seit 1978 leitete Engemann die Abteilung Christliche Archäologie in der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Bonn; 1984 wurde er auf die dort neu geschaffene Professur für dieses Fach berufen, die er bis zu seiner Emeritierung im Jahr 1991 innehatte.

Von 1984 bis 2006 war er Mitglied der Herausgeberkollegien des Reallexikons für Antike und Christentum und des Jahrbuchs für Antike und Christentum. Im Jahr 1991 war er Präsident des 12. Internationalen Kongresses für Christliche Archäologie in Bonn und von 2004 bis 2007 zusammen mit Alexander Demandt wissenschaftlicher Leiter der Konstantinausstellung in Trier. Engemann war ordentliches Mitglied des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts, dessen Zentraldirektion er ebenfalls angehörte.

Other than one shining star-the Health Savings Account-the Medicare reform bill doesn't do much to improve health-care choices or reduce costs. Much of the language in the bill (which was signed into law on December 8, 2003) is meant to expand government control over health care and it will increase the burden of taxes on generations to come.
Health Savings Accounts are needed to reduce costs and encourage patient-driven health care. They have the potential to free doctors and patients from today's bureaucracy in health care. However, the big question is: Can Health Savings Accounts solve the problems that will inevitably arise from passage of the rest of the Medicare bill?
Hefty Price Tag: Added to pending insolvency is a nearly $400 billion price tag for seniors and taxpayers-for just the first 10 years. This is likely a low estimate.
Government-Directed Medical Practice: A first-ever, pay-for-performance demonstration program will reward doctors financially who comply with government or HMO-generated "cookbook" medical practices, and who report patient data electronically to the federal government.
Rationing of Medications: Once government agrees to pay for medications, it will decide which ones it will cover and how often they can be prescribed. Coverage and medication-related treatment decisions ultimately will be made by Medicare bureaucrats-not seniors and their doctors.
Loss of Drug Coverage: Many seniors will lose their existing private prescription drug coverage, despite the $86 billion employer subsidy.
Obstacle to Individual Insurance: The $86 billion employer subsidy further embeds the outdated and restrictive employer-sponsored insurance system into American health care.
Unfair Payment Requirements: Seniors with higher incomes will be required to pay higher premiums, despite those seniors having already paid higher payroll taxes to fund Medicare.
Managed Care: Medicare will pay higher payments to capitated managed care plans than traditional network-free, freedom-of-choice, fee-for-service Medicare, thus moving to institutionalize more restrictive managed care across the country.
Invasions of Patient Privacy: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services can require Health Savings Account managers to report patient-specific data regarding use of the dollars in the Health Savings Accounts.

Quartet postpones meeting with Arab League
The Quartet of Middle East peace negotiators has postponed a meeting next week with an Arab League delegation to allow time to evaluate changes in the region following Hamas' takeover of the Gaza Strip, EU officials said Wednesday. In a conference call late Tuesday, members of the Quartet - the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations - agreed to postpone next Monday's meeting in Cairo, EU spokeswoman Cristina Gallach said. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas were also to attend the meeting. An EU official, who declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter, said changes on the ground in Gaza and the West Bank had made it necessary for the Quartet members to first meet separately in order to coordinate their stance, before meeting with other participants in peace efforts. The de facto split of the Palestinian territories dealt a major blow to months of effort by Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to unify the Palestinians and allow a resumption of the peace process with Israel. The United States, Russia and the EU have rallied behind the new PA government led by Salam Fayad.

Rubens Barrichello did Brazil TV for a while - he would be good as the Driver. How about Max Chilton - Given the LMP1 thing has crashed out though he was looking at Indy Car. I cannot see them splitting the sky guys up.
No, not a chance of them getting the main Sky pundits sadly, that would amaze me.
Hopefully some good news folks, for those without Sky Sports or HD that is, apparently Ch4 won the bid from ITV because they will be showing the races WITHOUT adverts. ITV didn't want to do that so lost out. CH4 are also going to be showing highlights of practice sessions etc to. Just wondering who the commentators are likely to be now!
Yeah, I'm a bit on the fence; I like his recent F1 driver knowledge but he's hardly the most exciting in his commentary.
Apparently Coulthard is part-owner of the Company that have bought the rights and done the deal with Ch4.
That Norfoork boy has done good for himself.
Fingers crossed - no more poetry please!
I guess we don't actually have to wait that long before we'll see how it all plays out!
That's about 50% anyway lol. Although 10 is better than 9!

What to do? Whether it's because of remodelling, a new building, or maybe the existence of a threat, the tree that you have in your area needs to be eliminated. You may be thinking as to how you're going to do it. Well, getting an expert Tree Removal of Melbourne is the best way to go. Protection factors are very important when you're working with issues like this so it is extremely recommended that you get someone with the skills and expertise to get the job done with ease.
The first factor to ensure that of when determining what company for Tree Removal Melbourne you want to get rid of the plants from your residence is that you are dealing with a tree care company that provides a complete collection of tree solutions.
This should not be some common garden care and attention company that also does tree cutting and removal. This should be a company that is an expert in tree care. In addition to tree cutting, they should also be able to do tree trimming, tree removal, tree stump removal, area cleaning and even disaster clean up.
As described previously, tree removal is not for the inexperienced. With the guide resources that most 'do it yourselfer use, it can take days or perhaps several weeks to get everything eliminated off of your residence.
An expert Tree Stump Removals of Melbourne will be able to do the job in just a small portion of the time, because they will be using the newest state of the art resources to do the work quickly. Before you register with any of your local tree service companies, ensure that they are using top-notch equipment.
The final factor you want to deal with is a Tree Stump Removals Melbourne that is just getting started or has only been in the company a couple of decades. While the people in the company may be good at what they do, there is no way of understanding if they don't have an n recognised history. Instead of rolling the dice on an upstart tree care company, select one that has been in business at least 10-15 years and is able to provide you several sources that will admit to their quality craftsmanship.
There's a lot of ways to remove trees. This is a similar factor for the number of types of equipment and expertise levels needed to get the job done effectively.
Most property owners who try tree removal themselves discover out later that this is not a job for the inexperienced. It actually includes several hours of hard work and in most cases, it's best to go away it to a Tree Stump Removals Melbourne.

It's the Road To Perdition meets State of Grace, and what we end up with here is a movie with an intriguing premise that just kind of falls apart and becomes routine in its second half.
A movie that takes the parts of other, better, films, and tries to rework them, the storyline here might be recycled, but at least it does a nice job of that. It puts the pieces together nicely, combining The Road to Perdition, State of Grace, and eve Judgement Night. What it doesn't do is carry through with these pieces to give us a second half that measures up to the first. In the first half of the film, we have all of the relationships and setup. It all leads to the initial conflict. And then the rest of the movie is spent on the run. They try to throw things into the second half, such as a new and accomplished hitman as another antagonist, or multiple visits to different characters who have nothing to do with anything, and all of it just takes us out of the film. The momentum and story we care about lies with Liam Neeson and Ed Harris. So long as its about the two of them, the movie works. When it gets away from them, it doesn't.
Run All Night is another in the Liam Neeson action movie genre, that turns out to be a just-okay movie. As far as Neeson goes, his career in the past decade has pretty much been defined by these kinds of movies. It all started with Taken, a fantastic film, and by far the best of the bunch.That movie was so good that it spawned two sequels, (both of which, were pretty lousy.) But while making those sequels, Neeson was also making other action films. He made Unknown, Non-Stop, and now Run All Night. Every one of them was a sort of B pciture with a decent enough premise, but some only average execution and follow-through. Every one of them was directed by the same man, Jaume Collet-Sera. Clearly he has a pretty good working relationship with Neeson, and considering that the two of them are three for three regarding giving us fairly decent movies, you can kind of understand why the two of them keep on reteaming.
Run All Night is actually the movie, out of the three films this actor-director team have made together, that has the weakest storyline. Credit that to the fact that both Unknown and Non-Stop were fairly original ideas. With Run All Night, we have definitely seen this sort of thing before. The plot involves an aging, way past his prime, former mafia hitman, having to spend the night helping his son escape the mafia enforcement and hitmen who are now coming for him. There's a reason why this feels familiar. It's The Road to Perdition set in the modern day. You see, The whole mess that leads to this began with something the son saw, that he wasn't supposed to, and now the big boss has called in men to take him out, despite the fact that the father works for the boss. Add into that equation a bit about the boss' son, being a screwup who crossed lines he shouldn't have, to make this situation inevitable, (like Daniel Craig playing the son to Paul Newman in Perdition.) Then add the specialty hitman who is called in (Jude Law in that film, and Common in this one,) and you can see that the connections just keep on piling up.
In addition to The Road To Perdition, Run All Night also has a decent amount of similarities to the Ed Harris film State of Grace. First and foremost, is that Harris is playing the mafia boss in both movies. He's the man behind everything. Then there are the connections of how Harris' character, Shawn MaGuire, used to be a low level guy working alongside our hero, Jimmy Conlan (Neeson.) The two of them grew up together. In State of Grace, Harris was the older brother to Gary Oldman, and Oldman and Sean Penn, (the protagonist,) watched Harris grow up and become boss. And then there's the family screwup idea. In Perdition it was Daniel Craig as the boss' son. In this movie, it's Shawn Maguire's punk son, Danny Maguire. In State of Grace, it was Oldman as the kid brother. So in many ways, Run All Night feels familiar. Consider that it takes the best parts of some movies that we've seen in the past. And yet it only holds onto those moments in the first half, before becoming its own thing. That sounds like the second half, where the movie breaks free of the mold, would be better than the first. The truth is, it's the exact opposite.
You see, the first half of the movie, about the relationships between characters, the back-story, and the establishment of the plot, at least had something going for it. It combined the premise of only two other movies, and did so pretty nicely. It even threw its own ideas into the mix every now and again, such as having Jimmy be a drunk has-been. At the start of the movie, he is passed out in a booth at the local bar. Then he is begging for money from the boss' son to get his heat turned back on. Finally he is playing Santa Claus while drunk and around a bunch of children. He burns his hand, is held under a cold shower by some of the mob guys, and is clearly a mess. This is not your typical hero.
It is just a coincidence that the limo driver who happens to be driving the Lithuanian drug dealers is Conlan's son, Mike, (Joel Kinnaman.) These Lithuanians are doing business with Maguire's son, Danny. They gave Danny a lot of money to set up a meeting between them and his father. When Shawn rejected the offer of the Lithuanians to help them sell heroin on the streets, the whole thing went south. Now, this is Danny's mess. Since the deal isn't happening, he needs to give the Lithuanians back their money. Instead, Danny shoots them. And Mike sees the whole thing from the front seat of his limo. To make matters worse, Danny spots Mike and chases him down. The chase scene, through multiple back alleys, is pretty fantastic.
In fact, a lot of the action and camera work in this first half is pretty great. There's the bullet-time action in slow motion that opens the film during a shootout in the woods. Granted this moment completely telegraphs the ending, without even making an attempt to disguise it, but so what. It makes us want to get to that point later on and see how the story gets us there. And then there's the rapid speed camera movement that zooms us in and out of the streets of Manhattan, from one location to another. This is used to help present a change of location and moving across town from one spot to the next. The camea cranes back and pulls up over the trees before locating another spot in the city and then zooming down to find it. This is some pretty cool stuff.
Unfortunately, once we get past the initial premise, where Jimmy kills Danny, Shawn's son, before Danny can kills Mike, things start to turn south. Jimmy calls Shawn to tell him that he just killed his son. Shawn says that Jimmy and Danny are both dead men, and that's where the cliches begin. Another one of these tired cliches is the rogue detective, played here by Vincent D'onfrio, who has been after Jimmy all of these years and completely dedicated to getting his man. Why doesn't this detective archetype character ever have a partner who is just as invested as he is? The rare movies that do this, and give us two partners instead of one rogue cop (like The Departed with Mark Wahlberg and Martin Sheen,) are always so much more interesting. The only thing worthwhile about the detective storyline, here, in Run All Night, is that Jimmy is made to be a bad guy who has murdered upwords of a dozen people over the years, and so the detective has just cause to be after him.
Once Jimmy makes the phoencall to Shawn and Shawn calls in his men to go after Jimmy and his son, the movie suddenly falls into all of the usual traps of becoming nothing more than routine. The story is now completely about Jimmy and Danny spending the night running around trying to avoid their attackers. Say what you want about this movie, but at the very least, the title is pretty accurate. There's a cool police car chase with Jimmy knocking the car of corrupt cops off the side of the road, but after that, it's just Jimmy and his son running around. They fight on a subway platform, dive through hallways in an apartment, and spend the movie trying to survive.
There are two main things that happen in the second half that don't work for the film. The first is that a specialty hitman is called in. As played by Common, this man has pretty much no dialogue at all. I suppose it's always this way. And he has a cool green glass piece that goes over one of his eyes to give him night vision. But the problem is that he keeps missing his target, despite having a red laser pointer aimed right at him. On top of that, are we really to believe that Neesan's old, drunk Jimmy Conlan would be able to match this guy in a hand to hand fight? Common's hitman character doesn't do much for the story until his final scenes. In fact his big scene in the apartment building, in many ways feels like it's out of Judgement Night, with characters going from door to door looking for someone.
The other mistake is that our main characters keep going to visit people for no good reason at all. They go to visit Mike's Uncle, (Jimmy's brother,) who doesn't do much to help them, but certainly does something pretty big to hurt them. Then Jimmy goes to visit an older woman in the hospital, without any words exchanged or idea of why. This is what deleted scenes are for. And then there's the middle of the movie meeting where Jimmy goes to a restaurant and sits down at a table with Shawn for a talk. I understand that this is trying to be the Heat moment, of the two heavy-weight actors sitting across from each other at a table, making threats, in the middle of the movie, but here, it doesn't seem very realistic. At the very least, Jimmy would not be able to walk out of there so easily. And that's pretty much where the film goes wrong. At best, it takes the parts of other, better movies, and tries to rework them. At worst, it's simply just about two guys running around town, trying to avoid their captors and make it through the night. This is a movie that starts out pretty cool, but definitely loses steam and momentum as it goes on.

France, Italy Reach Shipyard Deal With High Ambitions
The leaders of France and Italy announced a deal Wednesday that allows Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri to take control of France's STX shipyard with a shared goal of creating a world behemoth in the naval industry.
Laurent Cipriani and Sylvie Corbet, Associated Press
The deal also brings an end to a weekslong dispute between the two countries after France had unexpectedly blocked a takeover by Fincantieri this summer, citing job and strategic concerns.
The agreement was announced one day after the high-profile merger between Germany's Siemens and France's Alstom to create a European train-making giant.
Macron, speaking alongside Italian Premier Paolo Gentiloni in the French city of Lyon, called the French-Italian shipyard agreement a "win-win deal" aimed at "creating a world champion in the naval field."
Putting the industrial dispute between the two countries behind him, Gentiloni also emphasized the new entity's potential as a naval industry giant and said its success would help Europe as a whole down the line.
"Italy and France have a great need for a Europe that is a motor of investment, work, and growth," he said.
STX is the only shipyard in France big enough to build aircraft carriers and large warships. Last year, it turned out the world's largest cruise ship, the Harmony of the Seas, and earlier created the Queen Mary II.
The deal effectively gives state-controlled Fincantieri a 51 percent stake in the key shipyard, which is located on the Atlantic coast in Saint-Nazaire.
Fincantieri will pay 60 million euros ($70.5 million) to own 50 percent of STX, Macron's office said. France will lend Fincantieri another 1 percent stake to give the Italian group operational control.
The lending mechanism allows France to take back the 1 percent stake during the next 12 years, if the French government determines Fincantieri is not complying with its commitments.
The remaining 49 percent stake will remain in French hands, held mostly by the government and the state-owned Naval Group.
Under the new shareholder structure, 34.34 percent will be owned by the French state, including the 1 percent stake loaned to Fincantieri.
Fincantieri has committed to maintaining the shipyard's research and development division in France; to not transferring know-how or intellectual property outside Europe; to granting France a right of veto over the future name of the STX company; and to giving the French special rights related to the military activity of STX, Macron's office said.
France will pay particular attention to Fincantieri's compliance with: the rules of governance, the level of investment, the preservation of jobs on French soil, and the activity of French subcontractors, the French presidency said.
Fincantieri shares were up 1.8 percent in late morning trading amid expectations of a deal being reached.
In July, the French government temporarily nationalized the shipyard to prevent Fincantieri from taking it over and to give itself time to negotiate more guarantees.
At the time, the French government had argued it needed to defend its strategic and military interests, guarantee thousands of jobs, and ensure that French know-how was not transferred outside Europe.
In a sweeping speech about Europe, Macron called Tuesday for reinforcing European industry to make it "competitive at the world level."
Corbet reported from Paris. Philippe Sotto in Paris and Nicole Winfield in Rome contributed to the story.

First rainbow trout in a while!
It had been too long since I caught a rainbow, so I made a quick stop at a creek on the south side of the Alaska Range. Alaska's new no-felt-soles regulation made this alder-choked boulder garden one of the most treacherous places I've ever waded, and I emerged from it soaked and bruised, but I did get a couple pretty little rainbow trout for my effort.
Little Chinook salmon fry kept smacking my fly as I fished for rainbows, and one of them finally got a piece of the hook.

Jason, the only time a bear laughs is when he's done swallowing you.
But, if you think you do hear a bear laughing watch out because it is probably just his stomach rumbling.
Posts: 287 Jason, the only time a bear laughs is when he's done swallowing you.
Posts: 2458 Thanks for the tips on waders. I'll look into those.
Posts: 2871 Jason, I'm using Simms boots with star cleats in the Little Juniata, the most treacherous place I routinely wade, and can't tell any difference from boots with felts and spikes. I recommend the star cleats highly for slippery situations, if your boots will accept them.
Posts: 2587 Lovely little river there...Laughing bears or not. The wildness of that place is part of the deal, no?
Jason, if you can actually get a bear to laugh he may show you a little mercy...But like G seems to be saying...Who wants to chance it that the bear you cross paths with lacks a sense of humor.

I've been using Mike's subscribe plugin on a site I host for some time now. It works well enough, but it always kind of irked me that it uses a text file to store the list of subscribers, instead of the database. It also irks me that there's no real verification to the subscription or unsubscription process.
So I reworked it! Here is subscribe2, released as 1.0 beta.
To use this, you need to create a link somewhere on your blog to the subscribe.php file. Here users can elect to sign up for updates when you post new entries. Each (un)subscription request sends a confirmation email verifying the legitimacy of the request.
The subscribe2.php plugin file contains an administrative interface to install the database table, and manage your subscription list. You can add subscribers in bulk, as well as individually enable, disable, and delete subscribers. Plus you can send an email to all your subscribers at once.
With WordPress 1.5 just around the corner, the obvious next step for this plugin is to make it integrate into the WordPress admin panel.
There are probably some rough edges here. Please let me know if you find any bugs, but I accept no responsibility if this plugin kills your dog or eats your archives.

We live in a data age. Despite what we see, hear, and read in the media, we are not yet in the information age. More data exists now than in the history of the world, but we can not yet call it information, as it is too difficult to find what is needed in a timely manner.
Websters dictionary (1) defines information as:
information (n)
1   the communication or reception of
knowledge or intelligence
2a  knowledge obtained from investigation,
study, or instruction
Websters defines data as:
datum (n)
1   (pl) something given or admitted esp. as
a basis for reasoning or inference
2   (pl but sing or pl in constr) factual
material used as a basis esp. for
discussion or decision
From those definitions, we can see that information is processed data. Until the World Wide Web (WWW) was created, finding data on the Internet was quite tedious. Currently, there are WWW tools that can find the data, and present it to you, so it is one step closer to being information. However, processing the huge amount of data the WWW tools do present to you is still tedious. In the future, there will be WWW tools that will find the data, process it to transform it into information, and then present it to you. There will also be services that present information to individuals based on personal profiles of their interests, since it is impossible to keep up with and find such information by 'surfing' the Net.
The Internet is a distributed system of computers and networks, and it has data and resources everywhere, but it is not concise, timely, or easy to get to. There is no overall organization or classification of the data. The WWW is not and will not change that distribution of data, or try the impossible task of organizing it, but it does give the end user the appearance of some organization.
This paper examines the history of the WWW, and briefly covers the technology and schemes behind it. It investigates how the WWW will be our tool to pull from the data warehouse of the Internet to give us timely, precise, accurate information, or, in other words, to carry us from the Data Age into the Information Age. Concerns such as the costs involved for users, and the solutions to storage and bandwidth issues for the future directions of the WWW are not discussed.
A Brief History and Overview of the Web
A short history of the Internet is needed to understand how and why the Web was developed, and its possible future directions. The Internet was created as a research project of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) (2,3). DARPA wanted to create a network that was not centralized, and that could continue to operate when an entire section of the network went down (i.e. was blown up by a nuclear war head). Messages sent from one computer to another would be broken down into packets, and the route the packet took could be different from one minute to the next.
In 1969, the ARPANET was created, and from it the Internet grew. In the early years, mostly government and research facilities (i.e. Universities) connected their own networks to it, and eventually, when the commercial opportunities were realized, a snowball affect began to occur to give the Internet the growth we have seen over the past few years.
As the Internet grew, a culture developed where the dissemination of information was a primary goal, and tools such as FTP, GOPHER, WAIS, and ARCHIE were developed to help find and deliver that information. Basically, the information could be sent and received as ASCII or BINARY files, and the application on the receiving station would be used to view or use the file. The tremendous amount of information, and the many types of applications needed to distribute and receive that information, was a deterrent to the distribution of it (2).
In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau, two scientists working at CERN (the European Particle Physics Laboratory), began to develop a system to distribute their research information across CERN's global network (2,3). They created an application with a single user interface to many types of data, including reports, databases, and technical documentation.
The next big step in the growth of the WWW was the February 1993 release of "Mosaic for X," by Marc Andreesen, who at that time was a programmer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) (2). Mosaic, a Web browser with a GUI point and click interface, would become the standard platform for Web access. In September of 1993, NCSA released browsers for Windows based PC's and Macintosh computers. In March of 1994, Andreesen left NCSA to form NetScape, to market Mosaic and other WWW products full time (3).
The Web can be described as "a distributed heterogeneous collaborative multimedia information system" (2). Basically, this just means that the Web is a way of distributing all types of data across all types of computers in a standard format.
An interesting quote on this distribution of information and how it affects society and networking from Standford lecturer Robin Milner is paraphrased here:
Think very deeply. Very very deeply. When you think both about computers and the real world, when one talks about mobility of objects, it isn't really the mobility of objects that matters, the objects might not even really exist, all that really matters is the movement of the access paths/addresses to the objects. These access paths are the only component of the system we actually need to reason about. When Robin Milner changed jobs what matters to other people isn't where Robin "really is" what matters are the access paths to him. Some of these access paths remained the same (email), some changed (walking), and some new access paths were created (a new email address).

The development of the Web is analogous to Gutenberg's invention of the printing press (2). It is also more far reaching, because the Web allows the combination of several media, including text, graphics, audio, and video, into one document. Multimedia programs of this type had already been developed for single computers, but with the Web, you can link from one document to many others, and the pieces of data that make up the document can be found on computers around the world.

A Brief Overview of the Ttechnology
As described above, the WWW was developed so that any resource on it, whether that resource be a file, a picture, or a report, could be found and accessed with one simple interface. It was also designed so that each resource could be included in other resources, or could have pointers to other related resources. There is such an incredible amount of data on the Web, and more is emerging each day, that knowing how to locate what you want is quite difficult.
Even if you know the location of every resource you want to view, you must be able to tell others how to find them also. The developers of the Web came up with a logical addressing scheme. The Internet already had a scheme for addressing connected computers, so the Web was just another addition to that scheme. The computers on the network use the TCP/IP address scheme of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx = 1 to 254 (0 and 255 are reserved) (8). However, humans remember and work with names better, so we use them instead of numbers. The names we use are resolved to numbers that the network understands by special computers on the Internet called Domain Name Servers (DNSs).
Addressing for the Web is based on Uniform Resource Names, or URLs. A URL points to a specific resource on the WWW, and is broken down as follows (2):
scheme://host[:port]/path/filename
Here is what each part of the URL can be:
scheme What type of resource this is. Examples are HTTP for a document in hypertext transfer protocol, FTP for file transfer protocol, GOPHER for the text based menu driven protocol that was a precursor to the Web, and so on.
host[:port] The host is the actual name or number address of the computer on the Internet that stores the resource you are referencing. The Internet is made up of millions of computers distributed around the world, and they can all contain resources that others have been granted access to by the administrator of that host. The port is the actual TCP/IP port that should be used on the host. TCP/IP is the protocol used on the Web to interconnect different networks, and for each transaction that takes place, a port from 1 to 65534 for each host must be specified. Many of these ports are reserved, such as port 23 for TELNET, while many are free to use for many applications. Often, the port will not be specified, as it is left to default to the standard value for the given scheme. Click here to see a list of all TCP ports.
path This is the directory in the operating system on the specified host that contains the resource.
file The actual resource in the URL. The extension on the filename (filename.ext), is used by the Web browser to know how it should be presented. For instance, .htm or .html indicate an HTML file (see below), a .au file indicates an audio file, etc.
HyperText Transfer Protocol(HTTP) and HyperText Mark up Language(HTML)
The Web is designed on the client/server model, where HTTP is the server, and the Web browser is the client. The client and server have a conversation, where the format of the resources is negotiated (8). The most common format is Hypertext markup language.
HTML is perhaps the most important protocol used on the Web (7). The format of HTML is relatively simply, which is just one reason the Web has taken off like it has. HTML uses tags to format the documents. A tag begins with a "<" and ends with a ">," and has the form '<tag>.' The format starts with '<tag>' and ends with '</tag>.'
Here are a few basic examples of text formatting:

Title

bold face

entire paragraph

There is much more to HTML, including advanced formatting tags and ways to include references to other documents, to graphic images that can be included in the document, etc. For further reading, see the following URLs:
HTML Primer
Atlas to the World Wide Web (see chapter 3)
HTML Quick reference
The most important aspect of HTML and HTTP is that it allows any given document to reference, or point to, any other resource, anywhere on the Web. This feature is known as HyperText, and really promotes the distribution of data. These references to other resources appear highlighted in the document that you are viewing, and by selecting that highlight (usually by clicking on it with your mouse), your browser will load the new document from the HTTP server the reference points to.
Note that hypertext has really evolved into hypermedia(2). Instead of highlights in a document that reference another text document, you can now reference pictures, audio, video, etc. Click here to see a timeline of the development of hypermedia(9).

The Future of the WWW
The Web provides a new paradigm for computer networking. The importance of the Web on society has as yet barely been noticed. Society is defined by patterns of human communication. Anything that changes those patterns will change society in a fundamental way.
— Taken from (7) Gordon Irlam's page
The WWW has come along way in a very short amount of time, and it will continue to grow and evolve. There are many problems currently facing the Web and the Internet, such as limited addresses in the TCP/IP scheme, tremendous growth and limited bandwidth, capacity for storage of the vast amounts of data that are being put on the Internet, etc. All of these problems will be overcome, though, with new and better technology. A more interesting problem to discuss, however, is that of the data age, where we are overcome by tremendous amounts of data that we can not possibly process ourselves, vs. the information age, where the burden of the transformation of data into information is handled by the computer.
The Web represents a vast array of data that is distributed and linked together on computers around the world. However, there is so much data that it is difficult to find the information you need quickly. The Web is an unstructured resource, and there is no overall control to help structure it(10). There are no standard formats, no organization of subjects, and no comprehensive indexes. Basically, there is a wealth of data, but no way to take that data and turn it into information. The future of the WWW will greatly depend on the development of tools that can take the burden of transforming the data into information off of humans and placing it on computers.
Aspects of the Future
The WWW is basically used for three purposes: getting information, commerce, and entertainment(11). Information includes news services, reference materials, and journals. Commerce is just that: doing business over the Web, i.e. buying and selling products and services. Entertainment includes games, surfing just to see what is out there, and the audio and video transmissions that are becoming more popular.
A division of the Internet into three separate networks to support these different types of users might make sense to some people because all three categories involve different interfaces to the content, and various levels of response are necessary. This is unlikely to happen since the backbone network and infrastructure are already in place, and changing that would not be cost efficient. However, it is interesting to discuss the future implications of these three divisions. Since the commerce segment and entertainment segment are not as relevant to the WWW carrying us from the Data Age into the Information Age, most of the discussion will focus on the information segment.
The business domain of the Internet is in its infancy, mainly due to two reasons. First, a large portion of the Internet does not include the average consumer. This is rapidly changing as more and more people get access to the Net. Once the majority of people have access, businesses will be ready to take off. The second problem is with the security and integrity of transactions. Everyone is afraid that their credit card numbers will be intercepted and used by others. Secure transaction methods, involving encryption or "cybercash," will need to become standards before the masses are willing to do business over the Net. Commerce will affect the data vs. information issue in some ways, because although much of the information resources available today are free, this will not remain so in the future.
This segment of the Web is the most difficult to predict(11). The potential for intense, graphical interfaces to games with users around the country and world exist. Video on demand including TV shows or movies may be a part of the Web, instead of the normal cable television companies. The Internet, telephone companies, and cable companies may combine to form a single backbone that can carry all three types of transmissions. In any case, there will always be 'surfers' of the Web, but more advanced forms of entertainment will also be available. The entertainment segment of the Internet may affect the data vs. information issues in some ways, but not to any great extent. For instance, consumers may have one stop shopping for their telephone, cable TV, Internet access, and information services.
The heart of the Internet was and still is information. The Internet developed where the dissemination of information was the goal. As entertainment and commerce pickup, the amount of information processing on the Internet will diminish. However, there still will be vasts amounts of data and resources available, and there will be two problems. First, there is currently a problem with the quality of resources. However, that will improve over time, as users of the Web will not visit sites that have poor quality, so those sites will eventually either be removed or improved by their authors. Second, is the quantity of information. There is too much data for humans to effectively process, so several developments will need to occur.
Searching for information
One such development that is already in the early stages is the many search engines available to assist in finding resources on the Web. There are many such search sites today, and several use different techniques to help users find what they are looking for (10). Some give lists of possible 'hits' on the given search criteria, and some give 'scored' lists, where the search engine rates each reference it has found. Some actually do searches on the contents of Web pages, while others are subject oriented tools, where the owner of the search site must add resources to different sections of their tools. Popular search tools of the scored and subject nature are:
Web Crawler
IBM Info market
The problem with these types of search engines is that the human still has to go in and read each site the tool finds to see if it is really relevant to the search criteria. The human is still the final processor of the data and in charge of turning it into information. However, with the vast amounts of resources on the Web, this process will soon be too much for a person to handle. In fact, in my research for this paper, I found thousands of documents for each of the following search strings:
"history WWW"
"Development internet history"
"technology internet"
"future internet"
"future World Wide Web"
"speculation future Internet"
Since many of the lists I got where too large, I had to be more specific in my searches. Eventually I got to a manageable list of possible sources of information relevant to this paper. I still had decide which of the hits I thought might be useful, as there were too many for me to read them all. Most of the time I spent on this paper was spent "surfing" the Web for information relevant to this topic.
We are in desperate need of tools that will get us away from surfing, where we spend hours meandering around the Internet trying to find what we are looking for. We need tools that help us sort through the data, process it, and present us with information.
The newer search engines that rate the hits they find are a step in the right direction, but the human who entered the search must still take the time to study the links and decide if that data is useful. The subject based search engines, such as Yahoo, often have a brief description of the document, but the human still must go into the document to analyze it further. The search tools of tomorrow must somehow reduce their hits and make those hits more relevant, or summarize the hits in someway, so that the human is not wasting their time wading through data. The tools must present information to the human based on the search criteria.
Besides the problems of search tools that must be addressed, there are a few other important aspects of information that must also be improved. Authors of information will need to come up with new and innovative ways to present their information over the Web, which we are already seeing. In addition to that, since information is time-bound and subject to corrections, the Web will provide an ever changing landscape of information(11). Information providers will no longer sell an encyclopedia set to a person every ten years, but instead will sell on-line licenses, or access to, that encyclopedia, so when changes are made, consumers are not left with outdated versions of the material.
Having information delivered to you
There is a tremendous amount of information being published on the Web today. Below is a brief summary of the many types of resources:
There are many newspapers, such as USA Today and news presented on the Web from television companies, such as CNN. These are national sources, but we are now beginning to see local sources emerge.
There are also many scientific and trade journals electronically available over the Web on every imaginable subject. Click here to see a list of many electronic journals.
There are many magazines that are now offered online. Some of these are offered only electronically, such as Wired Magazine, and others are offered both in a more traditional hard copy format and electronically, such as Time Magazine. For a list of many magazines now available on the internet in many different categories, click here
There are also many reference type materials, such as single language dictionaries, dual language dictionaries (such as an English – Spanish dictionary), thesauri, encyclopedias, and research papers. The Yahoo search site has an entire category dedicated to research resources. Click here to see it: List of Internet References
In the near future, there will be more and more broadcast media, such as video and audio from news sources such as CNN, ESPN, local TV and radio stations, etc.
As is clearly evident from the lists above, there is a tremendous amount of information now available on the Web. However, it is growing more and more impossible for a single person to keep up with everything that they are interested in. It takes too much time to wade through all of these sources to find the few resources that are important to an individual.
What is needed is personalized information services (12). These services will allow users to create profiles of themselves that define the topics that are interesting and important to them. The service will then create a list of new resources based on that profile and forward it to the user. This list could be created as often as the person wants, although most people would probably opt for daily or weekly lists. The user can then read the articles, or view the video, or listen to the audio of those resources that match their profile, instead of trying to find articles in the vast amount of data that is released every day. This is more than a personalized newspaper, but a personalized information service.
How this information is delivered is not too important. Perhaps the simplest way would be to have a personalized home page that is updated daily, weekly, etc., by the service provider. Then new resources that meet a person's profile can be added to their page, so that they could point and click to view them at their leisure.
Profiles could include such criteria as "College Football," "Tax Laws in Florida," "Cholesterol," etc. Then, when any new resource related to one of those topics is introduced on the WWW, the personal information service will point the user to it.
The drawback to this approach is that people may be limiting the information they see. However, right now, I use my own criteria to decide what I want to read and what I don't want to read. If I can do that, there should be no problems with customizing a tool that can assist me. This tool may be a few years away, but it will not be impossible.
Also, the tool could offer a way to customize your own home page of information useful to you. If after reading an article from a periodical or viewing the video, should you feel like you may need that information again, you could save that link. As for more permanent sources, such as technical manuals and references, you could also add these links. Then the tool and/or provider could send you notices when there are changes to those more "permanent" resources. In this way, when people no longer buy an encyclopedia that quickly becomes outdated, they pay for a license to an encyclopedia that is updated as often as necessary.

The Internet, and especially the World Wide Web, represent a world wide distribution of data, that is accessible by anyone with a connection to the Net. The problem is that there is a tremendous amount of data dispersed on the Net, and that the data is not organized an any way. The data is growing at such a fast rate, that it will soon be impossible for a single person to find useful information in a reasonable amount of time. The future of the WWW depends on the development of tools that assist people in sorting through the vases amount of data available to find, and in services that deliver information to people based on their own personal profiles.

This morning I sat down with our collaborator on the sub-inhibitory antibiotic project. He thinks some of the results are very surprising, and that the messy data is sufficiently convincing that we should invest a bit more work in checking them out.
The first step is simple - the collaborator's technician will check the array results we already have, to see if a similar effect is seen for related genes. If it's not, we stop. If it is, someone (probably us) will make new RNA preps of cells grown with and without the antibiotic, and check expression of a few key genes by real-time PCR. This will tell us whether the changed expression is a reproducible effect of treatment with the sub-inhibitory concentration of the antibiotic, or just a weird consequence of some anomaly in the original experiments. If it's not reproducible, we stop. If it is, we decide whether or not to go on.
Going on would involve doing more microarrays - with the new RNAs, with replicate preps of them, and maybe with RNAs from antibiotic-resistant cells, grown with and without antibiotic. More real-time PCR assays would probably also be needed. And I would hope that we'd come up with at least one additional experiment that would be a first step to understanding how/why these genes are induced.
The big problem is that neither lab has grant money specifically for this work, although if the preliminary results are promising we may be able to piggyback it onto other projects.

Raymond (precedentemente conosciuta come Wildcat Station) è una comunità non incorporata (unincorporated community) della contea di Madera, in California. Si trova a 35 km a nord-nord-est di Madera, ad un'altitudine di 289 metri sul livello del mare.

Raymond ha meno di  abitanti. Si trova a circa 32 km a nord di Madera sulla Green Mountain Road e la Road 600. La comunità fa parte dell'area statistica metropolitana di Madera-Chowchilla.

La località potrebbe prendere il nome da Israel Ward Raymond, un commissario responsabile del parco che ha sollecitato la conservazione della Yosemite Valley, o da T. Raymond della Raymond & Whitcomb Travel Association di San Francisco, oppure da Walter Raymond della Raymond & Whitcomb Travel Association di Boston. Walter Raymond fondò il Raymond Hotel a Pasadena nel 1886. Pianificò l'albergo e ricevette denaro per la sua costruzione da suo padre Emmons Raymond, che era azionista della Santa Fe Railroad. Quando la città di Raymond fu dedicata, i suoi abitanti si avvicinarono a Walter Raymond e si offrirono di intitolare la città a lui se avesse tagliato il nastro durante la cerimonia.

Il pittore Thomas Hill, uno dei rinomati primi artisti della California, morì qui nel 1908.

Il primo ufficio postale venne aperto nel 1886. Il nome originale, Wildcat Station, fu sostituito da Raymond quando la Southern Pacific Railroad raggiunse la città nel 1886.

Lo ZIP code è 93653. Il prefisso telefonico della comunità è 559.
