I was reading this article "Why Wordle" By Steven W. Anderson this morning and decided to try one out. I thought the "Think Different" monologue from the classic Apple commercial might be a nice choice. View large.
You can see my photo of the wall mural of the monologue at the Apple Campus here.

Apple's "Think Different" monologue.
"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who actually do."

Photo showing the Project "The Transparency Of Randomness by Vera Tolazzi (AT) and Mathias Gartner (AT) at the CyberArts Exhibition.
In this interactive installation, visitors can directly experience the significance of the complex interplay of randomness and stochastics in current mathematical and physical research. 27 transparent boxes, floating in space, continuously generate random numbers by using the wellknown medium of dice. The process of random number generation is influenced by the complexity of nature and its structures, using a variety of natural materials such as cinnamon, moss, cotton, and cork that have special haptic properties like being soft, rough, hard-edged, or fluffy. Each roll of the dice thus takes on completely different characteristics. Visitors have the opportunity to control one of the boxes by accessing a web application and therefore become an active part of the installation with their self-generated random number. The ensemble of all generated random numbers forms the basis for a real-time calculation and generative graphics. With this project the artists want to demonstrate the importance of random numbers in various fields of research, such as artificial intelligence, physics, computer simulations, and machine learning.
"The Transparency Of Randomness" received a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2021.

The ASUS Chromebook C202 will be the best education and learning computer system for each college IT manager,student,and teacher.With its classroom ruggedness,the ASUS Chromebook C202 is formulated to fulfill the everyday rigors and powerful use by learners both of those inside and outdoors from the classroom.Over and above its rugged development,the ASUS Chromebook C202 is likewise designed for straightforward upkeep to reduce downtime.The result is really a Chromebook which is created for most usage,producing extra discovering options Lenovo ThinkPad E580 Netzteil for college students.
Design
If the C202 ended up to channel a spirit animal,it would be the tortoise.It might run gradual,but it surely takes a licking and keeps on ticking.Just like the tortoise,the C202's primary line of protection is often a rigid shell: dimpled plastic covers the laptop's lid Lenovo 62z 2117-EKU Netzteil and base.More shielding - thick,midnight blue rubber bumpers - runs together the C202's edges.All this armor won't make for an elegant profile,however it does offer a great diploma of ding,dent and drop resistance.In line with Asus's assessments,the C202 can face up to a 4-foot fall landing flat,as well as a 2.5-foot slide landing on its side.Drops needs to be unusual,nonetheless,as you will find a lot of tough floor to seize: the aforementioned dimpled surface,as well as a rubber leg Lenovo ADP-90DD B Netzteil planted while in the base.The C202 isn't simple to accidentally sweep off a table either.Its rubber leg firmly sticks it to any area.Just beware employing this laptop computer on bare thighs.Rubber may love pores and skin,however the affection will not be reciprocated.This defense-first philosophy continues with the C202's screen,hinge and bezel.The hinge makes it possible for the monitor to tilt one hundred eighty levels,a overall flexibility meant to safeguard the lid and hinge against sudden pulls or tugs.The massive bezel delivers a lot of grabbing room for lid-lifters much too impatient to select up the laptop computer by its base.Despite all these reinforcements,the C202 is much from weighty.In fact,at 2.sixty five lbs,it is really lighter than rugged rivals,like the Dell Chromebook 11 and Acer Chromebook eleven C740.The C202 also options Toshiba PA3507U Ladegerät repair-budget-friendly modular components.Many thanks to the C202's modular style,a broken trackpad indicates just the trackpad will have to become changed,not the whole enter framework.The C202's keyboard is your conventional Chromebook fare: website navigation buttons on prime,typical alphanumeric keys under.That said,the C202's keyboard Sony KDL49WE665 Netzteil is different in a very couple vital areas,particularly spill resistance,crucial travel and font sizing.
The keyboard repels around 2.23 ounces of liquid,and any that leaks in to the interior is usually drained by merely flipping the laptop computer about.It can be good to be aware of the notebook is saveable in the event the espresso goes flying.But,in terms of features,it can be not virtually as extraordinary because the C202's incredibly comfortable usability.With two millimeters of journey,the C202's chiclet-keys descend so deep the Marianas Trench is jealous.And everything vacation isn't really undone by sponginess both: just about every crucial,from your leading of your keyboard to the bottom,swiftly bounces back just after urgent.Even newbie Medion X7820 MD 99085 Netzteil typists will fly all-around this keyboard.The C202's vital font is comically huge,a supposed aid for the new typist who may well have difficulties locating keys.Regretably,the additional gain the enlarged font sizing gives is negated via the keys' blue-green coloration.In minimal light-weight,the blue-green nearly disappears.A bland outdated white important shade would have been far simpler to see.The C202's trackpad is as responsive as its keyboard.Multi-touch gestures are fluid along with the "click" is strain-free and forceful.Best of all,the trackpad is positioned perfectly around the C202's keyboard deck.It in no way will get inside the way.The C202SA is really an Asus Chromebook that comes with Chrome OS set up,so it is really really simple outside of the box.If you're unfamiliar with Chrome OS,the theory is usually that you attain most responsibilities,like e-mail and term processing,by way of the built-in web browser.This satisfies the bare minimal for fundamental productivity jobs,but you'll need to download further software package Apple MacBook Pro MA464 Ladegerät to acquire anything at all else performed.Besides the basics of Chrome OS,the C202SA also has accessibility to your Chrome World-wide-web Retail outlet,and it is capable of running Android apps.Meaning it is possible to download and set up an enormous amount of apps,many of them absolutely free,or with totally free variations,to enhance the performance from the notebook.Compatibility with Android applications just isn't certain,but it is pretty first rate,and Google is often doing work to enhance the cross-pollination concerning its two platforms.With Chrome OS,you furthermore may have the option of twin booting Linux,that is a totally free,full-featured functioning technique.Doing this offers you accessibility to a lot more free of charge program,however it does need a standard of technical know-how that is probable to go around most kids'heads.However,putting in Linux on a Chromebook can be a fun challenge for children who are into computer systems,and Chrome OS would make it straightforward to undo every thing and return the laptop Lenovo ThinkPad E450 Netzteil to its manufacturing facility first point out if some thing receives damaged.
Display
The C202SA has an 11.6-inch display screen that utilizes a local resolution of 1366x768,that's quite typical for Chromebooks of this dimensions.Those who are more utilized to full High definition laptop and desktop resolutions may experience a little cramped,though the impression quality will not put up with noticeably blocky pixels due to how tiny the screen is.Regarding brightness,the monitor Sony KDL-50W805B Netzteil is likewise really substantially while in the center of the highway.It truly is fantastic for most indoor use,but it is really somewhat dim for normal use in direct sunlight,and that just will get even worse when utilizing it outdoors.One good thing in regards to the C202SA monitor is usually that it has a matte finish,which does reduce down on blinding reflections Dell Optiplex 7040M Netzteil when utilizing the notebook in direct sunlight.We discovered it a complete great deal much easier to use the C202SA outdoor in vivid sunlight than the majority of the competitiveness due to its anti-glare screen,despite the fact the display alone isn't really terribly dazzling.That said,hues certainly are a minor muted,plus the viewing angles aren't great.The display screen appears wonderful when viewed head on,but tilting it any way washes the colors out even even more,and significantly dims portions in the screen.The C202SA provides a lay-flat hinge,which means you are able to fold the lid many of the way again until the screen is laying flat.Asus expenses this being a helpful function for college kids Sony KD65XD9305 Ladegerät working in group options,but students utilizing the laptop computer in that vogue could be challenging pressed to determine the screen without the need of placing their heads with each other straight above it.
Performance
The C202S employs Intel's Celeron N3060 chip,a dual-core SoC running at 1.6GHz,with 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM and built-in Intel High definition Graphics 400.This setup could make it by mainstream world-wide-web applications along with a streamed movie awhich is what most people with Chromebooks do abut this isn't the Chromebook for bleeding-edge people tinkering with world-wide-web gaming or other graphics-intensive jobs. We in comparison the C202S with other new N3060-based products and also the Acer Chromebook fourteen,whose N3160 chip is with the exact Braswell era,but with 4 cores as an alternative to two.We also included the Dell Chromebook 13,that has a Celeron 3205U in place of an SoC,so that you can see how a higher-end Chromebook compares.The C202S commenced off nicely with all the Cr-XPRT functionality examination,which actions Chromebook effectiveness Apple MacBook Pro 15.four MB985T A Netzteil in primary efficiency jobs likewise as extra demanding activities,these as watching videos or playing game titles.It can be in the pack along with the other two low-end Chromebooks.Not astonishingly,although,the Dell's a lot more powerful chip smokes absolutely everyone. Basemark Internet 3.0 just lately replaced Browsermark 2.one as Basemark's detailed browser benchmark.The checks deal with web-based systems like WebGL one.0.two and WebGL 2.0 real-time graphics,at the same time as JavaScript.Again,the C202S ran neck-and-neck while using the other 3 Chromebooks by having an N3060 chip.Google's Octane two.0 JavaScript benchmark simulates superior browser-based activities,which includes productiveness programs,online games,and interactive articles.The C202S kept up with its cohort,ingesting the Dell's dust.OortOnline is a quite difficult WebGL check that concentrates on graphics-intensive programs and online games.The Asus C202S stays consistent with its related opponents,as well as the margin closes significantly concerning them as well as Dell Chromebook thirteen.The C202S also has terrific battery daily life.Asus claims the 38Whr battery will last as long as ten hrs,which is previously very great.We make use of the Cr-XPRT-2015 examination,which jobs the full battery everyday living based upon running a simulated use pattern.The C202S posted eleven.fifty three hrs of projected daily life in that check.
The Asus Chromebook C202 is actually a notebook deserving on the honor roll.It offers a long lasting shell,an incredibly at ease and spill-resistant keyboard,extensive battery everyday living,and first rate overall performance.This laptop computer is often a tad heavier than competing equipment,but it really should continue to be in one piece when children inevitably fall it on the ground.For anyone who is a scholar or light-weight person who demands even more than 8 hours of battery daily life Ladegerät Microsoft Floor 3 1645 and don't demand a large amount of durability,you'll want to check out the Lenovo 100S Chromebook,that will last above eleven hrs on the demand.Nonetheless,if you would like a very resilient,inexpensive and usable Chromebook in your child,the Asus Chromebook C202 is your best decision.Chromebooks run Chrome OS,which is mainly browser primarily based.If you've at any time made use of Google Chrome,you will have no problems using a Chromebook.The desktop attributes a menu bar just like whatever you would discover on Home windows,together with pinned applications,a clock and straightforward access to options.Nearly all the things else,including the applications,is opened in Chrome tabs.Like most Chromebooks,the C202 would not appear with much computer software,apart from Google's apps.Asus includes a software to sign-up your new notebook,but that is it.There is no software specifically for schooling,in spite of that currently being the notebook's major goal.Google's preinstalled apps include things like Chrome,Google Docs,Sheets,Slides,Types,Travel and Play Books.The Chrome Net Keep offers many different apps,starting from efficiency packages like Microsoft Outlook to video games like Spelunky.Most apps require you to be connected to the Web,even though some,such as Gmail Offline,perform devoid of Wi-Fi. Students can maintain their neat from the classroom when utilizing the Chromebook C202.After streaming 15 minutes of High definition online video from Hulu,the touchpad stayed frosty,at 77 levels Fahrenheit,as well as middle with the keyboard attained eighty two.5 degrees.The underside hit 95 levels,and that is suitable at our comfort and ease threshold.The C202SA will not have an ethernet port,so you really need to rely upon the built-in Wi-Fi for online connectivity.The Wi-Fi is effective just good,without dropped connections or signal troubles in our testing,but we skilled substantially slower speeds than we did with other very similar Chromebooks.Within our screening,the C202SA managed a meager transfer amount of 70 Mbps down and sixty Mbps up when positioned appropriate beside our router.Through comparison,a more impressive desktop while in the exact location attained 212 Mbps down when related on the very same Wi-Fi network,and four hundred Mbps down when connected via Wi-Fi.Whenever we set a wall involving the C202SA plus the router,attenuating the signal to about 80 percent,we failed to see any reduction in download speeds.Nevertheless,when we moved much ample absent to cut the sign all the way down to 50 p.c,we saw a reduction all the way down to about 40 Mbps.These economical Chromebooks do usually accomplish slower speeds Dell PA-1900-32D5 RT74M Netzteil than additional strong components,but similar Chromebooks notched improved brings about our tests.One example is,we analyzed the Acer R11 Chromebook under the very same ailments,and it absolutely was in a position to attain down load speeds of 335 Mbps.
Battery
Battery daily life is among the C202SA's strongest suits.Involving its somewhat beefy battery,electric power successful CPU,and fanless passive cooling style and design,this is often a laptop computer that a baby could very easily use all day long at college,total their homework right after university,and not have to plug it in to cost until finally bedtime.To test the battery inside the C202SA,we subjected it to PCMark's Perform two.0 battery check.This really is a exam that cycles via quite a few various simulated do the job environments,together with word processing,video clip editing,and image modifying,and that is probable to be much more rigorous than any precise use state of affairs.In the course of that test,it lasted for more than nine hrs beneath continual load,using the monitor set to total brightness.We also subjected the C202SA to basic daily use,which includes duties like phrase processing,internet browsing,and streaming videos,and located that we were being able to have in excess of 11 hours of use from it.Together with the display screen brightness turned down,and putting the laptop computer Dell Latitude 3590 Netzteil to sleep between courses or when not in use,a toddler could conveniently expect this laptop computer to final all day in between expenses.
Conclusion
The toughness,reasonably priced selling price,prolonged battery daily life,and modular structure of the Asus Chromebook C202 allow it to be a superb preference for anyone who is looking for a budget laptop on your own or your young ones and you simply never require Home windows.But its sluggish multiple-tab searching can very seriously frustrate any one trying to operate on critical initiatives or paperwork in Web-based programs.For more,the Asus Chromebook Flip can be a convertible chromebook by using a touch monitor and extraordinary multitasking capabilities.The Acer Chromebook R eleven,while costlier,stays our Editors' Selection for its convertible structure,significant IPS contact monitor,and speedy performance.
FORT MCCOY, Wis. –
“Money is my military, each dollar a soldier. I never send my money into battle unprepared and undefended.”
~ Kevin O’Leary
Although O’Leary—a Canadian author, entrepreneur and television personality—was referring to his half billion dollar fortune, his words expose the Achilles Heel of nearly every individual and organization on the planet: money.
The U.S. Army, in particular, aligns with O’Leary’s analogy. With billions of dollars dedicated to training, equipping and caring for more than a million men and women in uniform, the Army seeks competent Soldiers who can conduct its countless and complex financial transactions. Those Soldiers are often assigned to sections and even platoon-sized elements dedicated to the understanding of all things pecuniary. Compartmentalizing financial intellect offers the Army the distinct advantage of enhancing readiness through realistic training in the art of money management.
Diamond Saber is an annual training exercise devoted to teaching, mentoring and certifying Soldiers operating within the Army’s intricate financial system. Conducted in Ft. McCoy, Wis., from Aug. 14-24, 2017, the exercise drew more than 650 Soldiers from the Army’s active, Reserve and National Guard components.
“Diamond Saber prepares units to deploy overseas by exposing Soldiers to financial activities found in theater,” said U.S. Army Col. Gregory T. Hinton, commander, 336th Financial Management Support Center. “The exercise combines classroom instruction with realistic training scenarios that cover a wide variety of tasks, missions and systems.”
These financial functions range from cashing checks and exchanging funds to resolving military pay issues and documenting captured currency. Based out of Lake Charles, La., the 336th FMSC demonstrated their expertise on these and other monetary subjects by developing policies, answering questions and providing technical support for Soldiers engaged in classrooms and simulations.
“We’re the financial advisors for this exercise,” said Hilton, a native of Fairmont, W. Va. “Our role here is very similar to what we do downrange.”
While the 336th FMSC supported the operational aspects of Diamond Saber, four Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), a 10,000 Soldier command headquartered in Orlando, Fla., immersed themselves in the exercise’s tactical side. Their participation marked a major milestone in the exercise’s 12-year history.
“This is the first time Diamond Saber has integrated Soldiers operating at the G8 (general officer, finance) level,” said U.S. Army Capt. Steven Andrews, comptroller, 143d ESC. “Prior to the exercise, our section attended several planning sessions to help ensure Diamond Saber’s curriculum was applicable to G8 level tasks.”
These planning sessions resulted in Andrews and his fellow 143d ESC Soldiers studying in a small classroom separated from the larger lecture halls housing hundreds of Soldiers at Ft. McCoy’s Financial Management Warrior Training Center.
“The specialized class size allowed our instructors to focus on G8 related functions such as vendor contracts, purchase orders and lines of accounting,” said Andrews, a Philadelphia, Pa., native. “The coursework also taught us how to provide better guidance and improved service to our downtrace units.”
The lectures and simulations also exposed Andrews and his team to the Army’s General Fund Enterprise Business System, a financial asset and financial accounting management web application.
“GFEBS is a powerful tool,” said U.S. Army Sgt. Victor T. Rosario, budget analyst, 143d ESC. “Its numerous features make it a bit overwhelming at first, but the daily practice, thorough instruction and graded tests should give us a firm foundation for our eventual mastery of this complex program.”
“Most Reserve Soldiers have little exposure to GFEBS prior to coming to Diamond Saber,” added Andrews. “As long as we continually take advantage of opportunities to maximize our exposure to GFEBS, then we will be successful in our mission.”
While most of the 143d ESC’s counterparts live and study in the relative comfort, the 143d ESC Soldiers must retain vast stockpiles of information while working in field conditions.
“Most of the 143d ESC is engaged in a CSTX (Combat Sustainment Support Exercise),” explained Rosario, a native of St. Cloud, Fla. “Since CSTX emulates a deployed environment, we must sleep in tents and walk through rugged terrain with our weapons and field gear during our daily commutes to and from the classroom.”
For Rosario, the long days are worth the effort as Diamond Saber also provides opportunities to complete online certifications.
“NCOs (Noncommissioned Officers) in my field must complete a series of online classes before we can attend our respective NCOES (Noncommissioned Officer Education System) courses,” said Rosario. “Completing these courses is essential to promotion and career progression. I am grateful Diamond Saber’s administrators afforded us the time to earn a few certifications.”
While Diamond Saber lacks the mass maneuvers and cinematic firefights found in front line field exercises, its presence signifies the Army’s understanding that ample funding and effective fighting are equally important in winning wars.
“Soldiers must be physically, mentally and financially ready to deploy,” said Hinton, who, when not wearing the uniform, serves as the command executive officer for the 79th Theater Support Command headquartered in Los Alamitos, Calif. “If the Army Reserve expects its Soldiers to deploy anywhere in the world in less than 30 days, then our financial units and sections must be masters of our craft. Diamond Saber helps ensure our Soldiers fight and win without the crippling effects of disputed contracts, misappropriated funds and unresolved pay issues.”

This is not a very good photo to be using to ask for identification, but I need some help. Ironically, it was taken during the "What Bird Is That?" guided hike at the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy's Lost Dog Wash area. I spotted this bird that no one else saw and it flew right as I took the first photo. The second photo has it hidden in the leaves, so I wasn't even sure I got it.
The Merlin Bird web application suggested "Hooded Oriole" but I have never seen one, so I wouldn't know.
Thanks for any help provided.

Lately, I've been a little occupied with a (secret) Flickr project. Some of you already know about it :). At this point, I wont say much, but that it will be out in Beta real soon. It's a third party web application and is not affiliated with Flickr.
As a result, my photostream has less uploads, I've also been tweeting less too.. to say the least. But yes, I'm very much alive! And will be back soon, with regular uploads, and regular visits to your photostreams.
This is me, I work on the web.
I started working on the web back in 1996 when I wanted to build a website for the magazine I had started. I was still in college, but there were no courses on web design so I had to teach myself. I picked up a copy of Creating & Enhancing Netscape Web Pages from the bargain bin of my local Comp USA and started reading.
After graduating from New College in 1999, I took a job as one of the two people working on the online edition of the Bradenton Herald. That's right, I said two people. At the time, newspapers weren't doing much online and my job was to come in at 10 or 11PM and copy a few of the top stories over from the Quark layouts into our HTML files. Nothing was automated, there was no archiving, and Dreamweaver's WYSIWYG was pretty much what I lived in. Oh, and under the hood was pure tag soup. I can't take credit for it, but it's funny to look back on it.
In 2000, my fiance (now my wife), Kelly McCarthy, got into Yale Divinity School and we moved to Connecticut, where I began working as a freelancer for a bunch of companies, including Gartner and Deloitte & Touche. I began working in Homesite almost exclusively and was spending most of my time fixing broken table-based layouts some 30 to 40 tables deep. It was horrible, but I got really good at it.
Between 2001 and 2002, I worked on sites for a wide variety of companies—IBM, Delta Airlines, Aetna, and Scholastic to name a few—before settling into the team lead position in Cronin and Company's newly-formed "digital" department. While there, I created a great team and we did some fantastic work for clients including Konica Minolta, the Connecticut Lottery, the CT Dept. of Transportation, and Mystic Aquarium among others. It was there that I really began to focus on web standards-based development.
I left Cronin in 2006 to work on building my own web consultancy, Easy! Designs LLC.
Over the years, I've worn just about every hat you can on a web project: strategist, information architect, designer, developer, copywriter, etc. I've built numerous web applications, content management systems, e-commerce systems, surveying tools, and more websites than I can count using (X)HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and Ruby on Rails. Honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way; I like variety.
Lately, I've been dividing my time between training web teams in CSS and JavaScript, producing XHTML, CSS & JavaScript for companies such as Adaptive Path and Happy Cog, and building websites for a growing list of companies and non-profits.
This is who I am... who are you?

The card was printed in Great Britain.
Queen's College Oxford
Queen's College Oxford was founded in 1341 by Robert de Eglesfield in honour of Queen Philippa of Hainaut (wife of King Edward III of England). The college is distinguished by its predominantly neoclassical architecture, which includes buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor.
In 2015, the college had an endowment of £265 million, making it the fifth wealthiest college (after St. John's, Christ Church, All Souls and Merton).
In April 2012, as part of the celebrations of the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, a series of commemorative stamps were released featuring A-Z pictures of famous British landmarks. Queen's College's front quad was used on the Q stamp, alongside other landmarks such as the Angel of the North on A and the Old Bailey on O.
The most famous feast of the College is the Boar's Head Gaudy, which originally was the Christmas Dinner for members of the College who were unable to return home over the Christmas break between terms, but is now a feast for old members of the College on the Saturday before Christmas.
Queen's College Alumni
Alumni of Queen's include:
- Tony Abbott, 28th Prime Minister of Australia
- Rowan Atkinson, actor and comedian, known for Blackadder and Mr. Bean
- Jeremy Bentham, English philosopher, and legal and social reformer
- Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web
- Cory Booker, United States Senator from New Jersey
- Eric Garcetti, Mayor of Los Angeles
- Leonard Hoffmann, Baron Hoffmann, English jurist and judge
- Edmund Halley, English astronomer
- King Henry V of England
- Edwin Powell Hubble, American astronomer
- Sir John Peel, gynaecologist to H.M. Queen Elizabeth II
- Leopold Stokowski, conductor.
'Oxford in War-Time'
During the Great War, a man named W. Snow was inspired to write a poem called 'Oxford in War-Time'.
Snow prefaces his poem with the following:
'The Boat Race will not be held this year (1915).

great majority of the cricket and football teams
are serving the King'.
The poem is as follows:
'Under the tow-path past the barges
Never an eight goes flashing by;
Never a blatant coach on the marge is
Urging his crew to do or die;
Never the critic we knew enlarges,
Fluent, on How and Why!
Once by the Iffley Road November
Welcomed the Football men aglow,
Covered with mud, as you'll remember,
Eager to vanquish Oxford's foe.
Where are the teams of last December?
Gone - where they had to go!
Where are her sons who waged at cricket
Warfare against the foeman-friend?
Far from the Parks, on a harder wicket,
Still they attack and still defend;
Playing a greater game, they'll stick it,
Fearless until the end!
Oxford's goodliest children leave her,
Hastily thrusting books aside;
Still the hurrying weeks bereave her,
Filling her heart with joy and pride;
Only the thought of you can grieve her,
You who have fought and died'.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee
Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS RDI FRSA DFBCS FREng was born on the 8th. June 1955. Also known as TimBL, he is an English computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web, the HTML markup language, the URL system, and HTTP.
He is a professorial research fellow at the University of Oxford, and a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Berners-Lee proposed an information management system on the 12th. March 1989, and implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet in mid-November.
He devised and implemented the first Web browser and Web server, and helped foster the Web's subsequent explosive development. He is the founder and director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which oversees the continued development of the Web.
Tim co-founded (with Rosemary Leith) the World Wide Web Foundation. In April 2009, he was elected as Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences.
Berners-Lee is a senior researcher and holder of the 3Com founder's chair at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He is a director of the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI), and a member of the advisory board of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence.
In 2011, he was named as a member of the board of trustees of the Ford Foundation. He is a founder and president of the Open Data Institute, and is currently an advisor at social network MeWe.
In 2004, Berners-Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his pioneering work. He received the 2016 Turing Award:
"... for inventing the World Wide Web, the first
web browser, and the fundamental protocols
and algorithms allowing the Web to scale".
He was named in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th. century, and has received many other accolades for his invention.
-- Tim Berners-Lee - The Early Years
Tim Berners-Lee was born in London, the son of mathematicians and computer scientists Mary Lee Woods (1924–2017) and Conway Berners-Lee (1921–2019). His parents were both from Birmingham, and worked on the Ferranti Mark 1, the first commercially-built computer.
He has three younger siblings; his brother, Mike, is a professor of ecology and climate change management.
Berners-Lee attended Sheen Mount Primary School, then attended Emanuel School (a direct grant grammar school at the time) from 1969 to 1973. A keen trainspotter as a child, he learnt about electronics from tinkering with a model railway.
From 1973 to 1976, he studied at The Queen's College, Oxford, where he received a first-class BA in physics. While there, he made a computer out of an old television set he had purchased from a repair shop.
-- Tim Berners-Lee's Career and Research
After graduation, Berners-Lee worked as an engineer at the telecommunications company Plessey in Poole, Dorset.
In 1978, he joined D. G. Nash in Ferndown, Dorset, where he helped create typesetting software for printers.
Berners-Lee worked as an independent contractor at CERN from June to December 1980. While in Geneva, he proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers.
To demonstrate it, he built a prototype system named ENQUIRE.
After leaving CERN in late 1980, Tim went to work at John Poole's Image Computer Systems Ltd. in Bournemouth, Dorset, where he ran the company's technical side for three years.
The project he worked on was a "real-time remote procedure call" which gave him experience in computer networking. In 1984, he returned to CERN as a fellow.
In 1989, CERN was the largest Internet node in Europe, and Berners-Lee saw an opportunity to join hypertext with the Internet:
"I just had to take the hypertext idea and
connect it to the TCP and DNS ideas and—
ta-da!—the World Wide Web."
Tim also recalled:
"Creating the web was really an act of desperation,
because the situation without it was very difficult
when I was working at CERN later.
Most of the technology involved in the web, like the
hypertext, like the Internet, multifont text objects,
had all been designed already.
I just had to put them together. It was a step of
generalising, going to a higher level of abstraction,
thinking about all the documentation systems out
there as being possibly part of a larger imaginary
documentation system."
Berners-Lee wrote his proposal in March 1989 and, in 1990, redistributed it. It was accepted by his manager, Mike Sendall, who called his proposals:
"Vague, but exciting."
Robert Cailliau had independently proposed a project to develop a hypertext system at CERN, and joined Berners-Lee as a partner in his efforts to get the web off the ground. They used similar ideas to those underlying the ENQUIRE system to create the World Wide Web, for which Berners-Lee designed and built the first web browser.
Tim's software also functioned as an editor (called WorldWideWeb, running on the NeXTSTEP operating system), and the first Web server, CERN HTTPd (short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon).
Berners-Lee published the first web site, which described the project itself, on the 20th. December 1990; it was available to the Internet from the CERN network.
The site provided an explanation of what the World Wide Web was, and how people could use a browser and set up a web server, as well as how to get started with your own website.
On the 6th. August 1991, Berners-Lee first posted, on Usenet, a public invitation for collaboration with the WorldWideWeb project.
In a list of 80 cultural moments that shaped the world, chosen by a panel of 25 eminent scientists, academics, writers and world leaders, the invention of the World Wide Web was ranked number one, with the entry stating:
"The fastest growing communications medium
of all time, the Internet has changed the shape
of modern life forever. We can connect with
each other instantly, all over the world."
In 1994, Berners-Lee founded the W3C at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It comprised various companies that were willing to create standards and recommendations to improve the quality of the Web.
Berners-Lee made his idea available freely, with no patent and no royalties due. The World Wide Web Consortium decided that its standards should be based on royalty-free technology, so that they easily could be adopted by anyone.
In 2001, Berners-Lee became a patron of the East Dorset Heritage Trust, having previously lived in Colehill in Wimborne, East Dorset. In December 2004, he accepted a chair in computer science at the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, Hampshire, to work on the Semantic Web.
In a Times article in October 2009, Berners-Lee admitted that the initial pair of slashes ("//") in a web address were "unnecessary". He told the newspaper that he easily could have designed web addresses without the slashes. In his lighthearted apology he said:
"There you go, it seemed like
a good idea at the time."
-- Tim Berners-Lee's Policy Work
In June 2009, then-British prime minister Gordon Brown announced that Berners-Lee would work with the UK government in order to help make data more open and accessible on the Web, building on the work of the Power of Information Task Force.
Berners-Lee and Professor Nigel Shadbolt are the two key figures behind data.gov.uk, a UK government project to open up almost all data acquired for official purposes for free re-use.
Commenting on the opening up of Ordnance Survey data in April 2010, Berners-Lee said:
"The changes signal a wider cultural change
in government, based on an assumption that
information should be in the public domain
unless there is a good reason not to — not
the other way around."
He went on to say:
"Greater openness, accountability and
transparency in Government will give
people greater choice and make it
easier for individuals to get more
directly involved in issues that matter
to them."
In November 2009, Berners-Lee launched the World Wide Web Foundation (WWWF) in order to campaign:
"To advance the Web to empower humanity
by launching transformative programs that
build local capacity to leverage the Web as
a medium for positive change".
Berners-Lee is one of the pioneer voices in favour of net neutrality, and has expressed the view that:
"ISPs should supply connectivity with no strings
attached, and should neither control nor monitor
the browsing activities of customers without their
expressed consent."
Tim advocates the idea that net neutrality is a kind of human network right:
"Threats to the Internet, such as companies
or governments that interfere with or snoop
on Internet traffic, compromise basic human
network rights."
As of May 2012, Tim is president of the Open Data Institute, which he co-founded with Nigel Shadbolt in 2012.
The Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI) was launched in October 2013, and Berners-Lee is leading the coalition of public and private organisations that includes Google, Facebook, Intel and Microsoft.
The A4AI seeks to make Internet access more affordable, so that access is broadened in the developing world, where only 31% of people are online. Berners-Lee is working with those aiming to decrease Internet access prices so that they fall below the UN Broadband Commission's worldwide target of 5% of monthly income.
Berners-Lee holds the founders chair in Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he heads the Decentralized Information Group and is leading Solid, a joint project with the Qatar Computing Research Institute that aims to radically change the way Web applications work today, resulting in true data ownership as well as improved privacy.
In October 2016, he joined the Department of Computer Science at Oxford University as a professorial research fellow, and as a fellow of Christ Church, one of the Oxford colleges.
From the mid-2010's Berners-Lee initially remained neutral on the emerging Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) proposal with its controversial digital rights management (DRM) implications.
In March 2017 he felt he had to take a position which was to support the EME proposal. He reasoned EME's virtues whilst noting DRM was inevitable. As W3C director, he went on to approve the finalised specification in July 2017.
Tim's stance was opposed by some, including Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the anti-DRM campaign, Defective by Design, and the Free Software Foundation. Varied concerns raised included being not supportive of the Internet's open philosophy against commercial interests, and risks of users being forced to use a particular web browser to view specific DRM content.
The EFF raised a formal appeal which did not succeed, and the EME specification became a formal W3C recommendation in September 2017.
On the 30th. September 2018, Berners-Lee announced his new open-source startup Inrupt to fuel a commercial ecosystem around the Solid project, which aims to give users more control over their personal data and lets them choose where the data goes, who's allowed to see certain elements and which apps are allowed to see that data.
In November 2019 at the Internet Governance Forum in Berlin Berners-Lee and the WWWF launched Contract for the Web, a campaign initiative to persuade governments, companies and citizens to commit to nine principles to stop "misuse", with the warning that:
"Ff we don't act now – and act together –
to prevent the web being misused by
those who want to exploit, divide and
undermine, we are at risk of squandering
its potential for good."

Although the card was not posted, someone has used a pencil to write '1932' on the back.
Queen's College Oxford
The Queen's College (on the right of the photograph) was founded in 1341 by Robert de Eglesfield in honour of Queen Philippa of Hainaut (wife of King Edward III of England). The college is distinguished by its predominantly neoclassical architecture, which includes buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor.
In 2015, the college received an endowment of £265 million, making it the fifth wealthiest college (after St. John's, Christ Church, All Souls and Merton).
In April 2012, as part of the celebrations of the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, a series of commemorative stamps were released featuring A-Z pictures of famous British landmarks. The Queen's College's front quad was used on the Q stamp, alongside other landmarks such as the Angel of the North on A and the Old Bailey on O.
The most famous feast of the College is the Boar's Head Gaudy, which originally was the Christmas Dinner for members of the College who were unable to return home over the Christmas break between terms, but is now a feast for old members of the College on the Saturday before Christmas.
Alumni of Queen's include:
Tony Abbott, 28th Prime Minister of Australia
Rowan Atkinson, actor and comedian, known for Blackadder and Mr. Bean
Jeremy Bentham, English philosopher, and legal and social reformer
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web
Cory Booker, United States Senator from New Jersey
Eric Garcetti, Mayor of Los Angeles
Leonard Hoffmann, Baron Hoffmann, English jurist and judge
Edmund Halley, English astronomer
King Henry V of England
Edwin Powell Hubble, American astronomer
Sir John Peel, gynaecologist to H.M. Queen Elizabeth II

FORT MCCOY, Wis. –
“Money is my military, each dollar a soldier. I never send my money into battle unprepared and undefended.”
~ Kevin O’Leary
Although O’Leary—a Canadian author, entrepreneur and television personality—was referring to his half billion dollar fortune, his words expose the Achilles Heel of nearly every individual and organization on the planet: money.
The U.S. Army, in particular, aligns with O’Leary’s analogy. With billions of dollars dedicated to training, equipping and caring for more than a million men and women in uniform, the Army seeks competent Soldiers who can conduct its countless and complex financial transactions. Those Soldiers are often assigned to sections and even platoon-sized elements dedicated to the understanding of all things pecuniary. Compartmentalizing financial intellect offers the Army the distinct advantage of enhancing readiness through realistic training in the art of money management.
Diamond Saber is an annual training exercise devoted to teaching, mentoring and certifying Soldiers operating within the Army’s intricate financial system. Conducted in Ft. McCoy, Wis., from Aug. 14-24, 2017, the exercise drew more than 650 Soldiers from the Army’s active, Reserve and National Guard components.
“Diamond Saber prepares units to deploy overseas by exposing Soldiers to financial activities found in theater,” said U.S. Army Col. Gregory T. Hinton, commander, 336th Financial Management Support Center. “The exercise combines classroom instruction with realistic training scenarios that cover a wide variety of tasks, missions and systems.”
These financial functions range from cashing checks and exchanging funds to resolving military pay issues and documenting captured currency. Based out of Lake Charles, La., the 336th FMSC demonstrated their expertise on these and other monetary subjects by developing policies, answering questions and providing technical support for Soldiers engaged in classrooms and simulations.
“We’re the financial advisors for this exercise,” said Hilton, a native of Fairmont, W. Va. “Our role here is very similar to what we do downrange.”
While the 336th FMSC supported the operational aspects of Diamond Saber, four Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), a 10,000 Soldier command headquartered in Orlando, Fla., immersed themselves in the exercise’s tactical side. Their participation marked a major milestone in the exercise’s 12-year history.
“This is the first time Diamond Saber has integrated Soldiers operating at the G8 (general officer, finance) level,” said U.S. Army Capt. Steven Andrews, comptroller, 143d ESC. “Prior to the exercise, our section attended several planning sessions to help ensure Diamond Saber’s curriculum was applicable to G8 level tasks.”
These planning sessions resulted in Andrews and his fellow 143d ESC Soldiers studying in a small classroom separated from the larger lecture halls housing hundreds of Soldiers at Ft. McCoy’s Financial Management Warrior Training Center.
“The specialized class size allowed our instructors to focus on G8 related functions such as vendor contracts, purchase orders and lines of accounting,” said Andrews, a Philadelphia, Pa., native. “The coursework also taught us how to provide better guidance and improved service to our downtrace units.”
The lectures and simulations also exposed Andrews and his team to the Army’s General Fund Enterprise Business System, a financial asset and financial accounting management web application.
“GFEBS is a powerful tool,” said U.S. Army Sgt. Victor T. Rosario, budget analyst, 143d ESC. “Its numerous features make it a bit overwhelming at first, but the daily practice, thorough instruction and graded tests should give us a firm foundation for our eventual mastery of this complex program.”
“Most Reserve Soldiers have little exposure to GFEBS prior to coming to Diamond Saber,” added Andrews. “As long as we continually take advantage of opportunities to maximize our exposure to GFEBS, then we will be successful in our mission.”
While most of the 143d ESC’s counterparts live and study in the relative comfort, the 143d ESC Soldiers must retain vast stockpiles of information while working in field conditions.
“Most of the 143d ESC is engaged in a CSTX (Combat Sustainment Support Exercise),” explained Rosario, a native of St. Cloud, Fla. “Since CSTX emulates a deployed environment, we must sleep in tents and walk through rugged terrain with our weapons and field gear during our daily commutes to and from the classroom.”
For Rosario, the long days are worth the effort as Diamond Saber also provides opportunities to complete online certifications.
“NCOs (Noncommissioned Officers) in my field must complete a series of online classes before we can attend our respective NCOES (Noncommissioned Officer Education System) courses,” said Rosario. “Completing these courses is essential to promotion and career progression. I am grateful Diamond Saber’s administrators afforded us the time to earn a few certifications.”
While Diamond Saber lacks the mass maneuvers and cinematic firefights found in front line field exercises, its presence signifies the Army’s understanding that ample funding and effective fighting are equally important in winning wars.
“Soldiers must be physically, mentally and financially ready to deploy,” said Hinton, who, when not wearing the uniform, serves as the command executive officer for the 79th Theater Support Command headquartered in Los Alamitos, Calif. “If the Army Reserve expects its Soldiers to deploy anywhere in the world in less than 30 days, then our financial units and sections must be masters of our craft. Diamond Saber helps ensure our Soldiers fight and win without the crippling effects of disputed contracts, misappropriated funds and unresolved pay issues.”

Experience in HIPAA compliance with Web applications
The most basic risk factor in secure software applications is cost, and the second is fear. Fear is a cost based threat - fear of lawsuits either by the government for not adhering to the HIPAA regulations or by private party class action suits when private information becomes public.
Planning and building secure environments is expensive, and generally does not add to the functionality of a site. Explaining the costs along with the risks helps engage senior management to make excellent decisions concerning the privacy of customers, and to secure confidential information -- for example an insurance agent's book of business.
There are a couple of different aspects when considering the security of secure sites, and to replace fear with appropriate risk management. Many people understand Web authentication software, a component of Web access control, for example a login with password and userID to control access to secure sites, because they are familiar themselves with using secure sites, and even with common Internet technology such as cookies.
What is less well understood is the backend side of secure business sites which includes both software and hardware. The hardware includes the Web application server, other application servers, database servers, networking equipment, and the software that runs them, along with Web access control software already mentioned.
Because they require certain functionality on a specific timeline many senior and middle managers make decisions solely based on cost without concern for the constant need to evaluate and ensure security, especially as new applications, Web sites, portals, and functionality are deployed.
IT departments generally build what is requested, and like an old house added to over several generations, the result can be what gets built may have no focus on how it can be secured.
As more complex networking and applications are added to a overworked, aged, poorly networked, or patched together environment organized in such a way that it can not be secured -- the higher the risks become -- not just in terms of intentional attacks but also due to simple technical failure, such as unpatched software with published security flaws or other security oversights.
When IT and security managers request funds to cover the higher costs associated with re-organizing, updating and securing hardware and software in networked environments, often management will not agree to the use of resources nor provide funds for the networking hardware / software, qualified techs, network designers, and programmers, and the time needed to secure backend environments, test, and audit them, in preference to other apparently more demanding needs, especially those they believe will enable the company to increase earnings.
It follows that management needs to understand the risks and will then be more willing to invest the money to plan and secure the environment. This includes providing appropriate secure access control both to the resident software applications and information exchange (such as email and back office data transfer including between 3rd parties), especially via the Internet.
In building secure Web-based applications, obtaining management buy-in is based on explaining the risk factors and costs, so management clearly understands what is at stake for their customers and required. Within the medical industry these laws include data security; specifically the 1996 Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, also known as HIPAA or Title II.
HIPAA regulations address the security and privacy of health data; they specify national standards for electronic health care transactions. They are expected to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the nation's health care system by standardizing the use of electronic data within health care administration, via Web-based and networked systems that individuals, providers, employers, and insurers have access to.
Each group will have secure access to differing components or varying degrees of private information.
As a program manager our job is explain the risk and obtain management approval and department co-operation in creating a secure application based on a secure environment. With a new application, a technically competent program/project manager can not make the assumption that the hosting environment is secure -- you need proof. A 3rd party security audit provides proof.
Working with a Northwest medical insurance firm (which has offices in Alaska, Washington, and Oregon) to develop their first true Web application, we drafted an executive summary on security, which could be applied to the firm's ongoing Internet, Intranet, Extranet, and Portal based software. We presented the idea of Web-based application and software environmental security to the company leadership and proposed hiring a 3rd party security firm to perform an audit.
We researched security companies; contacting a member of the Board of Directors, he referred the same security firm which we had already identified. We contracted with the firm to perform a technical security audit.
Setting a new standard for the company, we included the department managers and staff from Audit, Data Security, and Legal on the proposal, planning, meetings, execution, findings, and results of the process for the beta pilot and Go Live versions of the product to launch.
In financial firms Internal Audit holds power; therefore it is crucial to involve Audit as early as possible. Auditors know that if they must they can call any senior management or officer, and ask many difficult and pointed questions on the behalf of their constituency.
We obtained, reviewed, and reviewed and edited proposed legal contacts. We planned and arranged for all meetings and technical access (using encrypted communications with public keys), and followed each security detail up with the development team, and Q/A for final approval.
There was some hands on: to verify changes made by development and verified by Q/A, we retested some functions, checking off the highest level security bugs.
To assure user centric design of the Web-based product we managed the company's relationship with a user interface design and testing firm, to advise on developing an excellent user focused function and design for the product. We also requested legal documentation be created and written for the site, making "Terms of Use", "Conditions of Use", and a "Security Policy Statement" a standard for ongoing sites.
In advocating the use of 3rd parties for a variety of legal and security factors, our primary concern is the privacy of end-users, those the site is intended to serve. However, it is not a small matter that substantial fines are possible when a firm is found responsible for ignoring business standards regarding individual and group privacy of medical information. Of these two things, customer's privacy verses the cost of failure, the second may hold the most interest when communicating risk with management who must in the course of their jobs pay strict attention to the bottom line.
Effective and direct communication, backed up with Audits, cost estimates, and an analysis of real life ("in the past this system was broken into by such and such a person and this particular information was exposed, misused, or sabotaged) and potential risk factors ("if we don't fix this in X amount of time, the risks climb"), and even cite examples of successful lawsuits for similar privacy infractions.
Clearly if a secure site is compromised, regardless of intent, and the company is using standard e-Business security practices for any Operating System to protect the site, the company is not likely to be fined in a court of law. We describe security "Lockdown" (used regarding server hardware) to describe a number of business issues combined with technical issues:
"Security investment requires creating a secure environment both for the people involved and for the software and hardware. This means secure access control throughout the hosting environment, resident software applications, with regular audits, and rigorous follow up with software updates -- as well as excellent communication between IT, Data Security, and senior management."
A future is approaching very swiftly in which, if a system was compromised and your security practices do not measure up, your firm is responsible. That is where the finger pointing begins, and lawyers take over. The same approach holds for data loss as well, such as PII (Personally Identifiable Information).
This kind of responsibility for trust and security, not only for individual secure sites, but also for national security sites, can mean that companies responsible for the secure application software and its configuration on hardware, such as Microsoft, and consultants, as well as other firms become likely to be successfully sued for breaches of data security, and accompanying aspects of reliability, trust, and confidence. This is especially true for financial and medical businesses.
Encouraging the use of qualified 3rd parties to audit security on secure medical and other private sites will enable it to become a standard throughout the medical insurance industry as they engage HIPAA regulations in the interim between current softer standards, and those which also pass data through verification and enumeration hardware (chips) on individual devices.
Program Managers and Project Managers can sleep more soundly when a site is complete and locked down, knowing they have advocated the best advice and alternatives possible in providing secure HIPAA sites.
Questions & Answers on Security Standards for HIPAA Regulations
"Linda, I read one of your articles dating back to June of 2002 titled Security for Secure Sites. I am doing some research for a client of mine and was trying to figure out something that perhaps you could answer.
I've done a lot of internal and file transfer work that falls under HIPAA regulation, but I haven't really gone into the arena of displaying health information over web-sites.
I understand the issues that fall on the backend of a web-app, such as the database server, network structure, etc., but I haven't found information on any regulations that require a site itself to be secured.
In other words, can a password protected site that has 128-bit encryption under SSL suffice? Is there a standard that governs how a query must be structured from a web-site and how the returned data must be presented?"
CEO from a Midwest Tech Firm
July 16, 2004
"You and your client must be sure the medical data is secure. Security investment requires creating a secure environment both for the people involved and for the software and hardware.
This means secure access control throughout the hosting environment, resident software applications, with regular audits, and rigorous follow up with software updates -- as well as excellent communication between IT, Data Security, and senior management.
Your best option is to hire a third party Security Audit firm and obtain their advice. 128bit is highly secure. However userIDs, passwords and 128 bit encryption will not suffice if the server environment is not truly secure or if the doctor is careless with accessing confidential records. Most people can be more easily spoofed into security leaks through social tricks than the likelihood of breaking 128bit encryption.
Hire an expert, ask for recommendations locally, and talk with a couple of reputable software security companies to make your decision. Help medical personal establish policies and procedures to live by. Eliminating fear by promoting appropriate business practices is sound risk management.
In Security vernacular this is termed "lockdown."
Dismissal email drafts, notes applications and constantly plan bosses: Taskade does all that and anything is possible beginning there
All that I need to keep my life moving interminably on the web. Some spot. I can't find it.
I'm dissecting all the record numbers, meeting saw, every day plans, contact information and part drafts I need to see every day. Other than the plans I have to cook, wines I need to try, and YouTube accounts I should watch. A scramble of that stuff lives in my email inbox, and some in Google Docs. By then there are my Pinterest sheets, blessed bookmarks and the Evernote account I can never make certainly.
On a focal level, the web makes it more straightforward than any time in late memory to keep all that I need a few taps away. Considering, the web has a strategy for confining our lives. Unquestionably I bound everything in a diary and beginning there on become intoxicated, went without each page and covered them in better places around my home.
Taskade makes an amazing gadget for direct designs for the afternoon, and you can use photos, emojis and stock workmanship to clean them up.

Over the degree of late weeks, an application called Taskade has helped me change into demand. Taskade joins titanic extents of the best features of Google Docs, Excel and Dropbox, close to stacks of undertaking the heads and undeniable leveled instruments. Taskade Labs Chief Executive Ivan Zhao portrays the thing as "the elevated level time of Microsoft Office," which is a little hyperbolic and a ton attempting. Regardless, it is the best life-alliance gadget I've attempted.
Taskade joins the features of a note-taking application, a task the bosses application and a spreadsheet contraption the way that Steve Jobs joined an iPod, a cellphone and a web program into the iPhone: All these gadgets take an excitement to make something more than its parts.
I should make reference to that Taskade is genuinely over the top: It has a continued relating procedure, and costs $8 dependably for critical use. Considering, it might pay for itself in the applications it replaces, and I've found it sufficiently worth the cost.
I clearly have a page with all my transporter and housing faithful quality numbers in a bulleted list, over a photo of my dental security card and an agreeable guide with hanging on for my dental position's office. I made data bases with all the movies, books, TV shows, and YouTube accounts I need to get to—each cell opens to a rich record with my notes and evaluations. Taskade has all the get-togethers, research material and structures for my areas. I'm getting hitched soon and am looking at my close by reliably plan constantly.
One of Taskade's most thrilling wires is a data base contraption, which you can see as a table, an approach and that is just a minimal gander at something more essential.
Photo: David Pierce/The Wall Street Journal
I used to require five separate applications to keep so much stuff straight. In reality it's all in Taskade, a few snaps or a basic interest away.
Square by Block
It might be less brilliant to consider Taskade a super-prompt site authority than a suitability application.
Unequivocally when you open another page in the application, you're really making a reasonable lattice onto which you can put and make fundamentally anything. The application's chief bit is the square, which could be an entry of text, a bulleted list, a table, an image, a code piece, a YouTube video, a PDF and that is just a concise gander at something more noticeable. You install blocks with a tap or sponsorship trade way, and starting there reorder and sort out these regardless a great deal of you may require. You can without a really critical stretch change the opportunity of a square, also. For instance, you can pick an enormous measure of text and change it into an each little advance in turn plan.
Taskade's critical piece is the square, which takes various structures: text, joins, pictures, bookmarks and that is just a hint of something more essential.
Photo: David Pierce/The Wall Street Journal
Taskade looks like chess: easy to learn, hard to fit. The application itself looks truly ordinary, with a sidebar on the left and your open page on the right. It has a couple of sharp solaces, like the choice to add a spread photo to the top of any page.
Right when you first open the application, in any case, it doesn't do what's basic to help you with seeing all that it can do. Regardless, after a long time of using Taskade dependably, I'm generally at present understanding the most gifted ways to deal with oversee control absolute things while attempting to abandon making unfortunate system decisions. Do I really require a full-page photo inside my gradually game plan? My proposition: Make fundamental utilization of Taskade's courses of action, since they help you with spreading out pages and show what the application's set up to do.
There are close by Taskade applications for Windows, Mac and iOS. Mr. Zhao says an Android application should be open inside weeks. The web application works brilliantly on work zone and obliging, in like way, and it's doubtlessly a basically indistinct encounter paying little mind to which stage you're using.
Taskade is incomprehensibly liable to web affiliation. It works detached inquisitively with pages you've opened starting late while related—which understands all that you can do is cross your fingers each time you open Taskade on a plane. On the upside, you can embed tweets and YouTube accounts, even entire site pages, inside a Taskade report.
Photo: David Pierce/The Wall Street Journal
Dismissing the way that I use Taskade to keep solid over my own work and life (and you should in like way), Taskade is prepared for business parties. It offers communitarian changing, inline comments and huge contraptions for organizing assents and spreading endeavors. If you use Slack, you can get alerts each time someone comments on or changes a Taskade record. Is undeniably not a substitute for Slack or Salesforce, at any rate it can free a basic number from the contraptions colossal affiliations use to store and offer information.
Notwithstanding what you take after at it asset
Matt Galligan, facilitator of the Picks and Shovels Co., an electronic cash affiliations startup, offered an essential portrayal for Taskade. He says using the application is a tremendous proportion of like shopping on Amazon. Starting at now, "stores unequivocal," he passed on, "and they worked amazingly." Then Amazon came and amassed everything. It maybe wasn't the best store for any single thing, yet the one-stop comfort made it mind boggling.
That is essentially it: Taskade isn't as unmistakable a spreadsheet contraption as Excel, and it doesn't have a part of the task the board features I need—when an endeavor is typical, I may require a caution, for instance. (Taskade says that is coming.) Yet the application has helped me shave the spots I hold stuff down to just two. I can't shield email from coming in; I can put everything else in Taskade.
Photo: David Pierce/The Wall Street Journal
There's parties left for the Taskade get-together to do, clearly. Despite task strengthens, it's other than following timetable sync, PowerPoint-style presentation joins, a web trimmer, better pulled back assistance and that Android application. It's other than needing to support relationship, for instance, Zapier and If This Then That (IFTTT), which help move data between applications. Regardless, it starting at now achieves more than any of its enemies.
For a veritable essential time length, I've weaved around various note-taking applications and breaking point contraptions, never absolutely enthusiastic. Evernote makes it easy to get information, yet I never favored the interface. Google Docs and Keep don't offer enough features. Trello, Asana and other undertaking the board programming don't work for note taking.
Taskade wires the best of each—and others—into a wonderful renaissance application, fit in boundless approachs for creation and affiliation. I can't put an expense on the legitimate quietness that starts from an unfragmented life. Deterrent, yes I can: It's eight bucks each month.
Savage Paste Data
Stupidity email drafts, notes applications and reliably plan heads: Taskade does all that and that is just a short gander at something more important
All that I need to keep my life moving incessantly on the web. Some spot. I can't find it.
I'm taking a gander at all the record numbers, meeting notes, plans for the afternoon, contact information and piece drafts I need to see every day. Other than the plans I have to cook, wines I need to endeavor, and YouTube accounts I should watch. A part of that stuff lives in my email inbox, and some in Google Docs. By then there are my Pinterest sheets, capricious bookmarks and the Evernote account I can never make enough.
On a key level, the web makes it less whimsical than any time in late memory to keep all that I need a couple of taps away. Truly, the web has a strategy for isolating our lives. Positively I incorporated everything in a scratch cushion and a short period of time later become intoxicated, isolated each page and campaigned them in better places around my home.

This post is blogged at: dharmafly.com/blog/bangladeshboat
Phew! Dharmafly has been busy these last three weeks! From commission to launch in just 12 working days (and nights)...
The Bangladesh River Journey is a mashup of posts from a BBC World Service trip to track the effects of climate change in Bangladesh. The trip lasts a month, with photos being posted to Flickr, messages sent to Twitter and journal entries made on the World Service site. The mashup puts all these posts on to a map, letting you navigate around and follow the trip.
The journalists are equipped with a GPS navigation device. Each time they visit a new location, they post their co-ordinates to the Twitter stream (e.g. this post). Our system then logs the coordinates and applies them to every photo, tweet and diary entry until the next location.
In addition to what you see in the browser, there are a number of gems hidden under the hood... (Non-techie folk may happily skip this :)

Microformats are new, developing standards for adding extra meaning to the HTML of a web page. They create all sorts of possibilities for software (from search engines to browsers) to interact with the content in new and useful ways.
The HTML for each Twitter, Flickr and diary post in the Bangladesh River Journey is written using the hAtom microformat. This means, for example, that an RSS feed can be generated directly from the HTML on the page.
If you use the Firefox browser, you can explore other microformats on the Bangladesh Boat site, with the excellent Operator extension. You'll find xFolk bookmarks, geo locations, hCard contacts and tagged links.
GeoRSS
The site's RSS feed allows users to stay up-to-date with new posts, without needing to re-visit the site (we talked about using RSS in a previous post).
The feed is encoded with the geo coordinates of each post (this is called GeoRSS). Some interesting things can then be done with the feed, such as plotting it straight on to Google Maps.
API
Part of the task was to build an API - a way for web developers to access the data in the system, to create their own mashup applications. This will be promoted through BBC Backstage - the BBC's hub for exploring new media technology.

Environmental Specialist I/GIS Technician, Information Science and Management, Center for Spatial Analysis
B.S. Environmental Science, Policy, & Geography
Working in the natural sciences involves a lot of unexpected technologies, like Geographic Information Systems, or GIS. Using GIS, we can map changes in the environment as they happen, and this helps us to develop a coordinated response as well as keep the public informed.
I discovered GIS through collegiate peer pressure while completing my degree. All of the seniors and grad students insisted that we undergrads needed to take a GIS course because the industry was going to be big and continue to grow. They were absolutely right, and I’m glad I gave in to the pressure! As a member of the Data Management Team within FWRI’s Center for Spatial Analysis, I am responsible for geospatial data management, data acquisition, metadata creation and maintenance, mapmaking, and responding to requests for information relating to our data inventory. I am also involved in the creation and maintenance of geospatial web applications and dashboards linked to web-based maps.
