World's most famous traffic outlaw giving away his 499-horsepower turbo motorcycle Of all the colorful characters in the motorcycle world, few polarize opinion as strongly as Sweden's mysterious "Ghost Rider." It's not hard to see why - with five DVDs full of heinous traffic law violations, including 300 km/h (180 mph) wheelies, police baiting and near-suicidal top speed time trials around the Swedish freeway system, he's probably the most famous flaunter of road rules the world has ever seen. And now, his most famous steed, a 499-horsepower turbocharged, naked Hayabusa, is being given away through a website lottery. Only ridden to church on Sundays, it's the perfect practical getabout to take down to the shops. View all A little background for the uninitiated: Ghost Rider (widely believed, but never legally proven to be Swedish Wheelie Team member Patrik Furstenhoff, or possibly an amalgam of Patrik and his friends) is an ex-racer, stunt rider and generally rather handy chap behind the handlebars of a motorcycle.
Digital wardrobe UK’s changing lifestyles The UK’s changing fashions from tracksuits to knitted bikinis are to be collected in a huge online wardrobe for the benefit of vintage enthusiasts, school pupils, social historians and academic researchers. Celebrated mail-order company Kay & Co Ltd was for more than 100 years a staple of shopping in the UK, providing contemporary fashions, household items and luxuries at affordable prices to the general public. Now over 1500 images from the catalogues are to be digitised online by the University of Worcester with funding from Jisc – and the public are invited to contribute images and stories of their own concerning their favourite outfits which will give future historians an insight into today’s attitudes to the fashions on display. The website will explore the impact of Kay & Co Ltd on shaping the nation’s lifestyle and clothing choices from 1920 to 2000, as well as the contribution the company made to city life.
Banner creation tool : Learning Management System : The University of Melbourne LMS subjects and communities are provided with a basic default template which is fully customisable. As subject coordinator, you can customise the subject by adding or removing items from the subject menu, adding and removing items from content pages, changing the default entry point, changing the colour scheme (animated guide) and/or adding a subject banner. Many subjects are taught from year to year so you may be starting with a copy of the previously taught materials inside your subject. It is important to check all material for compliance with the University's copyright obligations, as well as reviewing the relevance, availability and currency of the material, especially if adaptive release rules have been used. Subjects on the LMS must show certain features (as defined in the LMS framework): a staff information page including contact details and office hours a link to the subject entry in the Handbook a subject outline information about assessment of the subject Mobile app Resources
Genealogy Citation Guides The rapid growth of the Internet has outstripped the pace at which citation standards have been revised to include Internet sources. So, the purpose of this page is to serve as a guideline, if preliminary, to citing genealogically related material found on the Internet. For the most part, the citation examples below are modeled after traditional citation styles. Some Helpful General Guidelines: Typically, a modern word processor program will add a hyperlink automatically to a URL once you type it into the document. Web pages are often transient in nature and material can be published and taken down, removed or edited. Printer software can also be set to print the URL and date of printing at the bottom or top of each page. If you are an Internet author, publisher or web developer, consider placing a full bibliographic citation reference at the bottom of your page to make it easier for individuals quoting your material or using it in their research to properly cite it.
