Apolis Activism
Apolis Activism is an independent contemporary brand that began with dreams and thread. Three brothers — Raan, Shea, and Stenn Parton — created a unique bridge between commerce and sustainable development. Through their travels they discovered stories of struggle and survival from visionaries and activists for change. These experiences shaped their perspective, resulting in a union of ideal and action. They anchored this vision in the word Apolis, which translates as a “global citizen” — where there are no flags and no borders, humanity is our common cause and greatest priority.

CouchDB Implements a Fundamental Algorithm : Daytime Running Lights
We're seeing a lot of action in the key/value map/reduce world lately. On the one hand this is because simpler stuff scales more simply, and on the other because key/value and B-Tree stores map cleanly to some fundamental algorithms.

15 Questionnaire
It would be very interesting if you could share a mockup, template of your questionnaire. Or if specific to each projects you are creating, at least, the type of questions in the questionnaire.
On the side of the No No for projects, setting a deadline for delivery of the projects or even a step without having all the materials which guarantee the delivery date.
We have to be very careful when committing to dates, to also set the right expectations of the client. Too often, in a project, it is possible to say, let’s release this section at this date YYYY-MM-DD, the materials will be given to you in the next two weeks. Red flag. It is often better to say, once given this list of items (deliveryDate), we will be releasing this section at “deliveryDate 10 business days”.
In middle size agencies, there is also an issue of resources management. There is more than one project in parallel. Explaining to the client that if he/she misses a particular window, the project will be delayed.
Keep written records of every discussions you had, put down the RESOLUTION and the ACTION. After each meeting, send your meeting minutes to the project participants and the client. It is often better to have a scribe. If you get phone calls from the clients (which is fine), send a summary of the discussion just after.
If you are using a project management system (be mail, sharepoint, basecamp, etc. anything), if the client says “It is not the way I work”, rise a red flag again.
Be careful also of the “just this time” or “just for once” on a exceptional work issue, because if you authorize it once, the client will keep the foot in the door, to reuse it again.

ASP.NET MVC – Multiple buttons in the same form
Adding meaning to your HTTP error pages! - Opera Developer Community
When searching for something on the web we’ve all had the experience of clicking on a link in a search engine’s results page only to find that the page no longer exists. If there’s no information on that page other than a default error message, the most likely course of action on the user’s part is to press the back button and try the next search result.
As site authors we can make our error pages more meaningful to our users, so that an error becomes an opportunity to bring the user back into a site and show them content that’s relevant to what they’re looking for. In this article I’ll show you how to do just that.

« Placement de produit » (2) : Les secrets de fabrication d’une bonne fiction au fromage - Acrimed | Action Critique Médias
Interdite à la télévision française depuis 1992, la publicité clandestine, appelée « placement de produit » par les professionnels du secteur, devrait être de nouveau autorisée à partir de 2010. Après avoir fait sommairement le point sur les aspects juridiques et les enjeux financiers du dossier, nous publions ci-dessous un exemple des tractations auxquelles donnent déjà lieu le placement de produit. Pratique qui, on va le voir, sera sans conteste un soutien de poids à la qualité et la créativité de la fiction française.
