OAuth-OpenID: You’re Barking Up the Wrong Tree if you Think They’re the Same Thing
by holyver
(via)
OAuth, OpenID…they sound like the same thing and they kind of do vaguely similar things But I’m here to tell you, OAuth is not Open ID. They have a different purpose. I’ve been playing around with OAuth a bit in the past couple weeks and have a grip on what it’s aiming to do and what it’s not aiming to do.
To start with, here’s what OAuth does have in common with Open ID

Rhizomes
by borsky
"Rhizomes oppose the idea that knowledge must grow in a tree structure from previously accepted ideas. New thinking need not follow established patterns.
Rhizomes promotes experimental work located outside current disciplines, work that has no proper location. As our name suggests, works written in the spirit of Deleuzian approaches are welcomed but not required.
We are not interested in publishing texts that establish their authority merely by affirming what is already believed. Instead, we encourage migrations into new conceptual territories resulting from unpredictable juxtapositions."

Qt Labs Blogs » Qt Declarative UI
by oseres
Declarative UI is a way of making fluid user interfaces by describing them in terms of simple elements (Text, Image, Rect,and other QObjects) that are built up into components. The reason it is “declarative” is that rather than the changes in the UI being expressed as imperative code (”set this, set that, do this, do that, …”), they are instead expressed as sets of QObject property expressions (”this width is always half that width”), grouped into states (”when enabled, the properties are …, when disabled, they are …”). The language that enables this is named QML. QML is simple yet powerful. Most of a user interface is described by a simple tree structure of property bindings:

SparqlTree - oort - Automatic treeification of SPARQL query results. - Google Code
by karlcow
The SPARQL Tree tools digest SPARQL results for your convenience.
A "SPARQL tree" is a processed SPARQL query result which combines bound variables into trees of data. It processes regular results from queries using variables named according to a specific convention (designating "tree structure").
There is also (alpha) support for a custom mixed "SPARQL-in-XML" query format (mentioned furher down).

Why Is RDF The Way It Is?
by karlcow
& 1 other
There are often many ways of serializing a complex graph into a tree. serializers can start with different objects, and split out multi-referenced things into different parts of the tree in different places. So that's just a fact about the problem space of encoding rdf's structure into xml trees.

GINKGO BILOBA -The Ginkgo Pages- Bonsai
by sbrothier
The Ginkgo biloba tree can also be grown as a bonsai.
You can buy a Ginkgo bonsai or grow one from seed or start with a seedling of 2-3 years old.
It is an outside bonsai and prefers full sun, but in very sunny areas part shadow is better. Young trees need some shelter in midsummer. Give plenty of water during the growing season.
Protect well against frost, for the Ginkgo is very sensitive for it in shallow pots because of the fleshy roots with moistury content that might burst open with frost. Therefore keep it fairly dry in winter.
A bonsai needs to be more fertilized than a normal sized tree. Fertilize plentiful with organic manure: spring-October twice per month.
A female branch may be grafted on the tree to get seeds earlier than normal.

Faites la chasse aux pellicules | Cheveux | Beauté - Le Coin Bio

Disgracieux et embêtants, les pellicules, ces petits flocons blancs qui tombent sur nos épaules peuvent être chasser naturellement. Voici des solutions naturelles, aussi efficaces que le classique shampoing Head & Shoulders mais avec les produits chimiques en moins!
Recettes anti-pellicules à réalisées chez soi
Huile essentielles d'arbre à thé. Mettez 3 gouttes d'huile essentielle d'arbre à thé (Tee tree) dans une noisette de shampoing. Massez le cuir chevelu et rincer.
Lotion capillaire à la réglisse. La réglisse contiendrait une substance appelée la glycyrrhizine qui freinerait la sécrétion d'huile par le cuir chevelu. Faites macérer une poignée de bâtons de réglisse dans du vinaigre de cidre de pomme et servez vous de ce mélange comme lotion capillaire.
Cataplasme au gingembre. Les Égyptiens utilisent le gingembre pour chasser les pellicules. Dans un bol, diluez 4 càs d'argile verte avec un peu d'eau jusqu'à l'obtention d'un mélange homogène. Ajoutez quelques gouttes d'huile essentielle de gingembre et quelques gouttes d'huile de sésame et de jus de citron. Appliquez sur la chevelure et massez. A refaire 2 fois par semaine.

DOM events - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
by decembre
& 1 other
DOM events allow event-driven programming languages like JavaScript, JScript, ECMAScript, VBScript and Java to register various event handlers/listeners on the element nodes inside a DOM tree, e.g. HTML, XHTML, XUL and SVG documents. Historically, like DOM, the event models used by various web browsers had some significant differences. This caused compatibility problems. To combat this, the event model was standardized by the W3C in DOM Level 2.
