The resource requirements in manpower and services in the Park include additional ranger
personnel and their training, the creation of a documentation centre on the island itself, and improvement of
signage and visitor facilities. The new management plan currently being prepared with the active support of the
world Monuments Fund will make a substantial contribution to the improvement of the present situation, it is
recommended that this should be submitted to the world Heritage Committee for comment by the secretariat
and by ICOMOS as soon as it is completed.

The Short and Simple Story of the Credit Crisis.

The goal of giving form to a complex situation like the credit crisis is to quickly supply the essence of the situation to those unfamiliar and uninitiated. This project was completed as part of my thesis work in the Media Design Program, a graduate studio at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

Magyar
This website has been created to show the progress of an academic research into the netlabel scene
and its social and technical consequences for our reality and putting it in perspective with the open content
movement . During the past months, I have kept you updated on the emerging results of my efforts to map
and analyze this growing phenomenon, putting it in an academic perspective with several resources.
The research is completed now, with many thanks to all of those who contributed. It is great to get many
positive reactions from interested people, and I feel I would like to contribute even more to netaudio and
academical, political and social awareness of it. For those interested, you can download the final research
paper, by clicking the button below. Feel free to contact me for any comments, questions or suggestions!

Linux.com :: Parallel SSH execution and a single shell to control them all
by camel
(via)
Many people use SSH to log in to remote machines, copy files around, and perform general system administration. If you want to increase your productivity with SSH, you can try a tool that lets you run commands on more than one remote machine at the same time. Parallel ssh, Cluster SSH, and ClusterIt let you specify commands in a single terminal window and send them to a collection of remote machines where they can be executed.
Why you would need a utility like this when, using openSSH, you can create a file containing your commands and use a bash for loop to run it on a list of remote hosts, one at a time? One advantage of a parallel SSH utility is that commands can be run on several hosts at the same time. For a short-running task this might not matter much, but if a task needs an hour to complete and you need to run it on 20 hosts, parallel execution beats serial by a mile. Also, if you want to interactively edit the same file on multiple machines, it might be quicker to use a parallel SSH utility and edit the file on all nodes with vi rather than concoct a script to do the same edit.
Many of these parallel SSH tools include support for copying to many hosts at once (a parallel version of scp) or using rsync on a collection of hosts at once. Because the parallel SSH implementations know about all the hosts in a group, some of them also offer the ability to execute a command "on one host" and will work out which host to pick using load balancing. Finally, some parallel SSH projects let you use barriers so that you can execute a collection of commands and explicitly have each node in the group wait until all the nodes have completed a stage before moving on to the next stage of processing.

QuickStart Configures Your Ubuntu System Without Terminal Work
by decembre
Linux only: QuickStart, a free automation utility for Ubuntu Linux systems, makes it easy to perform partial or full system backups of any partition, synchronize folders and update them on a schedule, and take care of other tasks a beginner would normally need to spend serious time researching. The tiny app opens a simple interface listing your choices, although dialog prompts guide you through any steps requiring input. The tools for installing DVD playing codecs, backing up your Master Boot Record, and creating synchronized backups seem particularly helpful, and while I haven't tested every function, a handful of them completed without any problems. QuickStart is a free download for Ubuntu systems only; both links below carry non-terminal installation instructions for the script.

I received 23 submissions to the contest and I have started to create some of these USB drive systems.
System List
This is a complete list of all the USB drive systems that I am either working on or have completed. I will also periodically update these systems.
If the system is listed but there is no link to the system, then work is either in progress or it has not started.

diy Studio
by topdos
All three have a degree in “visual communication” from the ECAL (ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne) where they had the opportunity to participate at many workshops with renowned visiting professors like M/M, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Cornel Windlin, GTF, Scott Makela, James Goggin and many more.
One of the main objective for //DIY is to create a multidisciplinary platform focused on graphic design. The ambition is to diversify the creativity, and to communicate through various media such as photography, music, styling, fashion, video, etc. Then, the agency is working for all kind of prestigious contractors in different fields such as edition, press, advertisement, multimedia, record industry and fashion.
//DIY also takes in charge art direction. (Swiss trend magazine Partynews n°103-115 / Parisian concept-store’s magazine, Le Colette n°4 / Nicolas Pages’novel “Septembre”, Flamarion 2002 / 242 skateboards)
In 2001, //DIY created its own fashion brand named +41 (phone code for Switzerland). Since then, three collections have been completed and distributed in selected shops around the world. Each new collection offers a larger choice of models and is proposing today complete range from jeans to t-shirts including dress, skirts and accessories. +41 also had the opportunity to create an exclusive work on 17-serigraphed leather jacket or a limited t-shirts edition for Nike.
In parallel, +41 has quickly expended its activity to the music business.
In 2003, +41 records was created for the release of “Look Ma No Rappers” a compilation of hip-hop remixes produced by Philippe Cuendet aka MPC. A few months later, the second release came out : “Lazy and Versatile”, the first album from BigPants, a Swiss artist who lives in Paris. For more information please look at: http://www.plus41.ch
Wikijunior - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
by knann
The aim of this project is to produce a series of full-color booklets for children aged 8 to 11. The subjects will be appealing to kids, and the writing will be light and friendly. These booklets will be richly illustrated with photographs, diagrams, sketches, and original drawings. The texts will also follow a format, so that each booklet, while different, will also have certain common features.
Completed books include the Solar System and The Elements. There is also a collaborative book in the works on World War II. This could be a worthwhile project for 8th grade students to contribute articles. An outline is available.
