La Lamasserie de Choni et le Prince Yang

"LA LAMASSERIE DE CHONI ET LE PRINCE YANG

Rock n’aurait pu poursuivre son équipée au supposé « Royaume des Femmes » s’il ne s’était lié d’amitié avec Yang Chi-ching, prince de Choni, métis sino-tibétain et descendant d’une vieille lignée installée depuis plus de six siècles dans cette région proche du pays Golok. Passionné de jardinage autant que de technologies et d’inventions occidentales — Yang pratiquait lui-même la photo à l’aide d’un Graflex — l’homme était aussi Grand Lama de Choni et permit à Rock d’hiverner dans son fabuleux monastère situé à la lisière du Pays Golok. Il l’initia à nombre d’us et coutumes de son pays, lui fit découvrir un paradis écologique intact, le pays de Tebbu ( l’actuel Tewo ) , lui prêta de l’argent, lui fournit des hommes, des armes et des munitions."

"THE LAMASSERIE OF CHONI AND PRINCE YANG

Rock'n'roll could not have continued its equipped with supposed "Kingdom with the Women" if it had not bound of friendship with Yang Chi-ching, prince de Choni, mongrel sino-Tibetan and descendant of an old line installed since more than six centuries in this area close to the Golok country. Impassioned gardening as much as Western technologies and inventions - Yang practised itself the photograph using Graflex - the man was also Grand LAMA de Choni and allowed Rock to winter in his fabulous monastery located at the edge of the Golok Country. He initiated it with a number of custom and habits of its country, made him discover an intact ecological paradise, the country of Tebbu (current Tewo), lent money to him, provides him men, weapons and ammunition."

La reine des Goloks

"The Golok Queen with her son and the wives of her chief ministers"

http://www.figuresdestyle.com/frain/royaume_femmes/per7.htm

"La photo prise par la missionnaire Mrs Howard Taylor. L'inscription en chinois sur la banderole « Reine des Goloks » laissa entendre qu'un « Royaume des femmes » pouvait subsister dans les vallées inaccessibles du pays Golok, au pied de l'Amnyé Machen. Rock, malheureusement, eut connaissance trop tard de ce cliché."

"The photo catch by the missionary Mrs Howard Taylor. The Chinese inscription on the streamer "Queen of Goloks" implied that a "Kingdom of the women" could remain in the inaccessible valleys of the Golok country, with the foot of Amnyé Machen. Rock'n'roll, unfortunately, was informed too late this stereotype."

'I've Got Nothing to Hide' and Other Misunderstandings of Privacy

"In this short essay, written for a symposium in the San Diego Law Review, Professor Daniel Solove examines the nothing to hide argument. When asked about government surveillance and data mining, many people respond by declaring: I've got nothing to hide. According to the nothing to hide argument, there is no threat to privacy unless the government uncovers unlawful activity, in which case a person has no legitimate justification to claim that it remain private. The nothing to hide argument and its variants are quite prevalent, and thus are worth addressing. In this essay, Solove critiques the nothing to hide argument and exposes its faulty underpinnings."

The absolute bare minimum every programmer should know about regular expressions

"Regular expressions are strings formatted using a special pattern notation that allow you to describe and parse text. Many programmers (even some good ones) disregard regular expressions as line noise, and it’s a damned shame because they come in handy so often. Once you’ve gotten the hang of them, regular expressions can be used to solve countless real world problems."

Petition to: Adopt Open Document Format in National Archives

"Recently it was announced that National Archives are converting their stock of electronic documents into Microsoft Open XML format. This format is not supported outside of Microsoft's own products and ties the public to purchasing Microsoft Office should they wish to view the products, which is a cost of around £80-120 depending on version. It also ties a user to puchasing Microsoft Windows which is a cost of roughly £150 for the Basic edition or purchasing a new PC with Windows which is a cost of at around £200 for a new machine. Instead Open Document Format which is an accepted ISO standard unlike Open XML should be used. Open Document Format is supported on many major platforms and is freely available at no charge. It include all the necessary features for documents otherwise it would not be the ISO standard. There should not be a £250 charge to use Microsoft for accessing the National Archives electronically especially in light of the companies ongoing litigation with the EU regarding its anti-competitive actions."

McDonald's serves up 'Diplomas'

"McDonald's has won approval to offer courses which could form part of a qualification at the standard of A-levels or advanced Diplomas."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7209276.stm

"I have no problem with MacDonald’s offering training programmes. Far from it. I do have two issues. One - why the hype? Why is the Prime Minister announcing new apprenticeship programmes by a few major companies. The rub is in the detail. MacDonald’s and other organisations will now be able to accredit their own programmes. They will become private examination boards. It could be argued that a number of the examination boards in the UK are effectively private organisations. But their purpose is to accredit learning. MacDonald’s primary purpose is to make p-rofit for shareholders by selling hamburgers."

10x10 / 100 Words and Pictures that Define the Time

"Every hour, 10x10 scans the RSS feeds of several leading international news sources, and performs an elaborate process of weighted linguistic analysis on the text contained in their top news stories. After this process, conclusions are automatically drawn about the hour's most important words. The top 100 words are chosen, along with 100 corresponding images, culled from the source news stories. At the end of each day, month, and year, 10x10 looks back through its archives to conclude the top 100 words for the given time period. In this way, a constantly evolving record of our world is formed, based on prominent world events, without any human input."
