[Witty's Blog] Part 1: Making Wikipedia “GLAM-friendly” | Witty's Blog: Another response to the GLAM-WIK recommendations that will be published soon (and I’m very excited to have heard this) is that the National Library of Australia has convened a high-level committee to make a formal response.

[Recent Threats Added to the CMLP Database] International Olympic Committee v. Giles | Citizen Media Law Project: Giles reports that it was not clear to him what exactly the IOC wanted him to do, so a chain of mutual emails followed, in which IOC clarified its position that the only acceptable copyright notice for pictures from Olympic events would be "all rights reserved." In an effort to keep the CC licensing regime, Giles counter-suggested licensing the pictures under a noncommercial CC license, but IOC declined:

[yueyu3.blogr.com - Blog (RSS 2.0)] yueyu3.blogr.com - stories - 2010-03-10-Flush-toilet: It is a commonly held misconception that when flushed, the water in a toilet bowl swirls one way if the toilet is north of the equator and the other way if south of the equator, due to the Coriolis effect usually, counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. In reality, the direction that the water takes is much more determined by the direction that the bowl's rim jets are pointed, and it can be made to flush in either direction in either hemisphere by simply redirecting the rim jets during manufacture.

The frame (sometimes called the chassis or plate) which holds the wheels is made of aircraft-quality aluminum and/or magnesium and usually mounts three, four, or five polyurethane wheels of between 78 mm and 110 mm diameter.

The changing landscape of the Vietnamese American population would bring a more multicultural flavor to Orange County, but as with Chinatowns, could potentially eliminate its identity as a "Little Saigon" as the population of foreign-born Vietnamese old-timers declines and more younger generations of Vietnamese American families attune to mainstream American culture (especially with a preference for fashionable malls over the Vietnamese ethnic malls in Little Saigon) and move on to affluent communities further away from the Little Saigon area.
