Maldives warns of climate refugees Mohamed Nasheed: '...this is unlike any other thing that has happened before.' Photo: AFP THE president of what could be the first country in the world lost to rising sea levels has urged Australia to prepare for a wave of climate refugees. Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed's government is considering Australia as a new home if the archipelago disappears into the ocean. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts a sea level rise of up to 59 centimetres over the next century, a level that would inundate most of the Maldives' inhabited atolls. Fourteen islands have already been abandoned. The country has established a sovereign wealth fund to buy land overseas and finance the relocation of the country's 350,000 people. Advertisement Sri Lanka and India, for their proximity and cultural similarities, and Australia for its climate and abundance of space, are the three countries Mr Nasheed has identified as possible destinations.
Jetty (web server) Apache Hadoop is an example of how Jetty is used in a framework. Hadoop uses Jetty as a web server for different uses in several modules: The NameNode and the JobTracker use Jetty to serve their admin pages.[13]The TaskTracker uses Jetty to receive the map, reduce and shuffle operations from the JobTracker.[13] Originally developed in the Sydney suburb of Balmain by software engineer Greg Wilkins, Jetty was originally a HTTP server component of Mort Bay Server (Mort Bay is an area of Balmain.)[15] Jetty was originally called IssueTracker (its original application) and then MBServler (Mort Bay Servlet server). Jetty was started in 1995 and was hosted by MortBay, creating version 1.x and 2.x, until 2000. Jump up ^ Bartel, Jan (11 December 2014).
The Journal of Irreproducible Results Running Jetty To start Jetty on the default port of 8080, run the following command: You can point a browser at this server at Since release 9.1, the jetty distribution does not deploy any demo web applications, so to see a more interesting demonstration of the server you need to run from the demo-base directory as follows: Pointing a browser at will now show a welcome page and several demo/test web applications. Warning The demonstration web applications are not necessarily secure and should not be deployed in production web servers. Creating a new Jetty Base The demo-base directory described above is an example of the jetty.base mechanism added in Jetty 9.1. jetty.home The property that defines the location of the jetty distribution, its libs, default modules and default XML files (typically start.jar, lib, etc) jetty.base > cd $HOME/my-base > java -jar $HOME/jetty-distribution-9/start.jar > cd $HOME/jetty-distribution-9/demo-base > java -jar ..

Font embedding with css: the @font-face selector ... and more Introduction With the @font-face {...} selector you have the possibility to import a font in a webpage. If it is not installed on the visitors computer, it is temporally available during the visit of your page. Sounds beautiful, is as simple solution, but .. This was possible according to the CSS2 specifications ... ( here) This is not possible according to the CSS2.1 specifications ... ( here) The trouble is, that the most browsers don't support (fully) the CSS2 rules (using CSS2.1 instead), and cannot display the fonts defined by the @font-face {...} rules. Easy reading article: Anne van Kesteren's weblog 20th August 2003. Workaround? See test page for scalable image for non existing font type. But in some cases it is possible to make a cross browser font embedding or an IE-only font embedding!

Deploying Font Servers « 318 Tech Journal Mac OS X has come with the ability to activate and deactivate Fonts on the fly since 10.5, when Font Book was introduced. Font Book allows a single user to manage their fonts easily. But many will find that managing fonts on a per-computer basis ends up not being enough. Which begs the question: who needs a font server? A very simplistic answer is any organization with more than 5 users working in a collaborative environment. This could be the creative print shops, editorial, motion graphics, advertising agencies and other creative environments. Lack of font management is a cost center for many organizations. Font Management and Best Practices Anyone who uses fonts for daily workflow needs font management. ~/Library/Fonts/Library/Fonts/System/Library Fonts Leaving any necessary system, Microsoft Web Core, and required Adobe fonts. Types of Font Server Products Available There are two major font server publishers: Extensis and Font Agent Pro. Pre-Deployment Strategies and Projects Extensis

cufón - fonts for the people UPDATE Oct 24: We have released version 1.09i, which is the same as 1.09 but IE9-compatible. 1.10 is on its way as well. Keep in mind that you do not need to convert your font files again, just replace your old cufon-yui.js with a new one and you're good to go. As it currently stands, version 1.09 does not work in IE9 beta which was just released. Just in case it doesn't work in the final version either, we've implemented a fix in the latest development version. There will be a new release some time in the near future. You might also want to take this opportunity to try Typekit, a hosted, @font-face-based alternative. On Windows, you may first have to copy the font file out of the Fonts folder and paste it elsewhere in order to be able to select it. Currently only TrueType (TTF), OpenType (OTF), Printer Font Binary (PFB) and PostScript fonts are supported. Useful if you're using multiple variants of the same font (bold, italic etc). Cufón is distributed under the MIT license.
Configuring AJP13 Using mod_jk The apache web server is frequently used as a server in front of a servlet container. While there are no real technical reasons to front Jetty with apache, sometimes this is needed for software load balancing, or to fit with a corporate infrastructure, or simply to stick with a known deployment structure. There are 3 main alternative for connection Apache to Jetty: Using apache mod_proxy and an normal Jetty HTTP connector. Using the HTTP Connectors is greatly preferred, as Jetty performs significantly better with HTTP and the AJP protocol is poorly documented and there are many version irregularities. To configure apache to use mod_proxy, mod_proxy_http and/or mod_proxy_balancer with HTTP seeConfiguring mod_proxy. AJP is NOT recommended. AJP is not recommended for a number of reasons: historically mod_jk has had intermittent maintenance and bad versioning practises. The Jetty AJP connector. The full options for the Ajp13SocketConnector are available in the javadoc. mod_proxy_ajp Where: mod_jk

The project which I am currently working on uses jetty. We bought this EFT switch(jcard) from the chaps that do jpos. Have no complaints. Very light weight, but we have not yet done performance testing on our REST side to give you an idea with jetty + jersey working in unison. by superunknown Apr 10
