Go pick up the May 2010 issue of Modified!

 

My first time published. Shot these months lat last year. Expect another feature soon :-)

Inside Castle Frank station.

(the published photos are in comments) All right, I'm not afraid to promote myself occasionally, and I've got to finally mention this because it's almost your last chance to easily find this issue on the stands or in stores...

 

This is the Chicago Reader's 1000 Words, Second Annual Photo Issue, which featured a reader contest. I picked it up and saw I had one in the issue...and it was on the table of contents page too. Then I kept looking, and there were more photos of mine...5 in all! It's kind of embarrassing that of the 22 photos, 5 are mine (no one else had more than 3)...when so many great photographers didn't get in there. Also, I never even officially entered the contest; they just picked photos I'd submitted to the Chicago Reader Flickr group. And I'm not even shooting with a "real" camera...and so on.

 

But I work hard on my photography (I even landed in the hospital due to it last year, though that's more about recklessness than dedication, perhaps) and I'm glad it's been recognized (plus, uh, this makes up for the fact that they've never published any of my shots in the Reader before, just online). This wasn't the first time I got a photo in print in 2008...I'll belatedly have a post about the other one soon....I meant to say something much sooner but New Year's, a family visit, and a Detroit trip intervened...

 

Many thanks to the Reader* and to all of you who've supported my work! If you can't get an actual copy, it's here (online has 24 photos, not 22)

*In the summer, the editors named me "Best Local Blog 2008" (a tie) and I again feel guilty I've posted so little there recently; I'm working on a sort of relaunch/lots of new content, once again, life has gotten in the way of my posting there...the photo related to that news:

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 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. 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

Leopold Stokowski, conductor.

 

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."

 

-- Tim Berners-Lee's Awards and Honours

 

Tim Berners-Lee's entry in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century (March 1999) reads as follows:

 

"He wove the World Wide Web and created a mass

medium for the 21st century. The World Wide Web

is Berners-Lee's alone. He designed it. He loosed it

on the world. And he more than anyone else has

fought to keep it open, nonproprietary and free."

 

Berners-Lee has received many awards and honours. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in the 2004 New Year Honours:

 

"For services to the global development

of the Internet."

 

On the 13th. June 2007, he was appointed to the Order of Merit (OM), an order restricted to 24 living members, plus any honorary members. Bestowing membership of the Order of Merit is within the personal purview of the Sovereign, and does not require recommendation by ministers or the Prime Minister.

 

Tim was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2001. He was also elected as a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2004 and the National Academy of Engineering in 2007.

 

He has been conferred honorary degrees from a number of universities around the world, including Manchester (his parents worked on the Manchester Mark 1 in the 1940's), Harvard and Yale.

 

In 2012, Berners-Lee was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork – the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover – to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life that he most admires to mark his 80th. birthday.

 

In 2013, he was awarded the inaugural Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering. On the 4th. April 2017, Tim received the 2016 Association for Computing Machinery's Turing Award for his invention of the World Wide Web, the first web browser, and their fundamental protocols and algorithms.

 

-- Tim Berners-Lee's Personal Life

 

Berners-Lee has said

 

"I like to keep work and

personal life separate."

 

Berners-Lee married Nancy Carlson, an American computer programmer, in 1990. She was also working in Switzerland at the World Health Organization. They had two children and divorced in 2011.

 

In 2014, he married Rosemary Leith at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace in London. Leith is a Canadian Internet and banking entrepreneur, and a founding director of Berners-Lee's World Wide Web Foundation. The couple also collaborate on venture capital to support artificial intelligence companies.

 

Berners-Lee was raised as an Anglican, but he turned away from religion in his youth. After he became a parent, he became a Unitarian Universalist (UU). When asked whether he believes in God, he stated:

 

"Not in the sense of most people, I'm

atheist and Unitarian Universalist."

 

The web's source code was auctioned by Sotheby's in London in 2021, as a non-fungible token (NFT) by TimBL. Selling for US$5,434,500, it was reported the proceeds would be used to fund initiatives by TimBL and Leith.

Mein Fliegerleben (My Pilot's Life) is the autobiography of Ernst Udet (1896-1941), the second-highest scoring German flying ace of World War I (after Manfred von Richthofen). Between the wars he worked in films and as a stunt pilot. (The character of Ernst Kessler in the movie The Great Waldo Pepper was based on Udet.) He was placed in command of aircraft development after Hitler's rise to power, but was driven to despair and committed suicide in 1941.

I received these two books in the mail yesterday — no note or anything. What the heck; I didn't order these. Especially two of the same thing. Then a light came on in my head and I started looking for a shot that would be mine. I found two - the ones on the right. That was a surprise. I don't remember anything about this transaction.

 

So, I'm now published in a national travel book. Cool indeed. Credits are in the front of the book, but whoever looks at those anyway.

E-Man Returns and Bartman

By Michael Vance

 

“E-Man Returns” #1/$2.75, 28 pages from Alpha Productions/writer: Nicola Cuti; artist: Joe Staton/available in comics shops and by mail order.

 

The energetic alien who won his letter at the school of superheroics years ago has lettered again! E-Man gets an A+ for great art and story!! It’s a shame this comic book’s one flaw is fatal. E-Man suffers from “one-shot-and-your-dead” syndrome.

 

Created in 1973 by Nicola Cuti and Joe Staton, E-Man was probably the best character published by defunct Charlton Comics. Inspired by Plastic Man from earlier years, it’s almost appropriate this shape-changing alien of sentient energy metamorphosed through several publishers in different formats. What isn’t right is that “E-Man Returns” as “No. 1 of one” wasn’t released as a new series.

 

Is it right that some of the strongest visual storytelling and stylized are in comics can’t get a series? When Joe Staton’s quirky art is at its peak, you’ll even believe talking sharks and dolphins.

 

Peek at “E-Man Returns”.

 

Is if fair that some of the most compact, clear, entertaining, original and just-plain-fun words in comics can’t get past one-shot status? When Nicola Cuti balances humor, pathos, and adventure ‘effortlessly’ in one issue (with a back-up feature, no less!), you’ll even buy aliens changing into boats, sailors, sea-gulls, and monsters.

 

Buy “E-Man Returns”.

 

Was it mentioned yet that that back-up feature by writer Ron Fortier and artist Gary Kato is just as powerful and fun as E-Man? “Mr. Jigsaw (Man of a Thousand Parts)” is a beautifully realized send-up of a superhero butting heads with reality. Every six pages in comics should be this good.

 

Was it noticed that a certain reviewer of questionable credentials and suspect personal taste completely forgot to mention what happens in E-Man and his side-kick Nova in “E-Man Returns”?

 

Oops.

 

Highly recommended.

 

MINIVIEW: “Bartman”. Lacking the satiric variety of its parent (“Simpson Comics”), this superhero parody still rankles high.

 

The Postcard

 

A postally unused carte postale that was published by Braun & Cie, Editeurs-Concessionnaires of Paris. The card has a divided back.

 

The Paris Colonial Exposition of 1931

 

The Paris Colonial Exhibition (or Exposition Coloniale Internationale) was a six-month colonial exhibition held in Paris that attempted to display the diverse cultures and resources of France's colonial possessions.

 

The exposition opened on the 6th. May 1931 in the Bois de Vincennes on the eastern outskirts of Paris. The scale was enormous. It is estimated that from 7 to 9 million visitors came from over the world.

 

The French government brought people from the colonies to Paris, and had them create native arts and crafts and perform in grandly scaled reproductions of their native architectural styles such as huts or temples.

 

Other nations participated in the event, including The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy (with a pavilion designed by Armando Brasini), Japan, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

 

Politically, France hoped that the exposition would paint its colonial empire in a beneficial light, showing the mutual exchange of cultures and the benefit of France's efforts overseas. This would thus negate German criticism that France was

 

"The exploiter of colonial societies

and the agent of miscegenation

and decadence".

 

The exposition highlighted the endemic cultures of the colonies and downplayed French efforts to spread its own language and culture abroad, thus advancing the notion that France was associating with colonised societies, not assimilating them.

 

The Colonial Exposition provided a forum for the discussion of colonialism in general and of French colonies specifically. French authorities published over 3,000 reports during the six-month period, and held over 100 congresses.

 

The exposition served as a vehicle for colonial writers to publicise their works, and it created a market in Paris for various ethnic cuisines, particularly North African and Vietnamese.

 

Filmmakers chose French colonies as the subjects of their works. The Permanent Colonial Museum (today the Cité Nationale de l'Histoire de l'Immigration) opened at the end of the exposition. The colonial service experienced a boost in applications.

 

26 territories of the empire participated in the Colonial Exposition Issue of postage stamps issued in conjunction with the Exposition.

 

The Dutch Colonial Pavilion Fire Incident

 

As one of the important colonial powers at that time, the Dutch Empire participated in the Exhibition. The Netherlands presented a cultural synthesis from their colony, the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia).

 

However, on the 28th. June 1931, a fire burnt down the Dutch pavilion, destroying important collections of cultural objects.

Only a few artefacts could be salvaged, including an ancient Javanese bronze Shiva statue, which is now kept in the National Museum of Indonesia.

 

The cause of this massive fire was never identified, and there was speculation at the time that it may have been caused by a short circuit, by flammable building materials that were a fire hazard, or by arsonist sabotage.

 

The material and cultural losses were estimated to be around almost 80 million francs. It was said that the French government paid the Netherlands Indies colonial government for its losses. The money was then used for an expansion of the Bataviaasch Genootschap museum.

 

The Communist Counter-Exhibition

 

At the request of the Comintern, a smaller counter-exhibition entitled The Truth on the Colonies, organized by the Communist Party and the CGTU, attracted very few visitors (5,000 in 8 months).

 

The first section was dedicated to abuses committed during the colonial conquests, and quoted Albert Londres and André Gide's criticisms of forced labour in the colonies while the second one made a comparison of Soviet "nationalities' policy" to "imperialist colonialism".

 

Subsequent Uses

 

Some of the exposition buildings were preserved or moved:

 

-- Palais de la Porte Dorée, Former-Musée National des Arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie, current Cité Nationale de l'Histoire de l'Immigration, Porte Dorée in Paris, constructed from 1928 to 1931 by the architects Albert Laprade, Léon Bazin and Léon Jaussely.

 

-- The foundations of the Parc Zoologique de Vincennes.

 

-- Pavillon du Togo by Louis-Hippolyte Boileau in the Bois de Vincennes.

 

-- The Pagode de Vincennes, on the edge of the lake.

 

-- Daumesnil, in the former houses of Cameroon and Togo of Louis-Hippolyte Boileau.

 

-- The church Notre-Dame des Missions was moved to Épinay-sur-Seine in 1932.

 

-- The reproduction of Mount Vernon, house of George Washington, was moved to Vaucresson.

 

-- The Scenic Railway was moved to Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, where it operates to this day.
