Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership This article is about the regulation and trade agreement. For the chemical compound abbreviated as TTIP, see Titanium isopropoxide. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a proposed free trade agreement between the European Union and the United States, with the aim of promoting multilateral economic growth.[1] The American government considers the TTIP a companion agreement to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).[2] After a proposed draft was leaked in March 2014,[3] the European Commission launched a public consultation on a limited set of clauses and in January 2015 published parts of an overview.[4] If an agreement is to be made, it is not expected to be finalized before 2016.[5] European Citizens' Initiative against TTIP and CETA, named "Stop TTIP", has been established, acquiring over 3.2 million signatures within a year.[6][7] Background[edit] Proposed contents[edit] Market access[edit] Services and leaked text[edit] Industry-specific regulation[edit] Hurdles[edit]
Backbone.js Curveship: Interactive Fiction + Interactive Narrating The National Security Archive Labs - Spry framework for Ajax When Adobe first introduced Spry, our goal was to bring Ajax capabilities to the web design community, allowing designers to create web pages that provided a richer experience for the end user. As we know, however, the web evolves at a blistering pace. Over the last couple of years, frameworks such as JQuery have evolved to encompass many of the capabilities originally envisaged for Spry, making Spry as a standalone offering less relevant. As we can continue to focus our efforts in furthering the web, we have decided to no longer invest in the development of Spry. Going forward, Adobe will continue to make contributions to JQuery UI, JQuery Mobile and other frameworks so as to help web designers create rich web and mobile experiences.

RPyC makes use of object-proxying, a technique that employs python’s dynamic nature, to overcome the physical boundaries between processes and computers, so that remote objects can be manipulated as if they were local. A screenshot of a Windows client connecting to a Linux server. Getting Started Installing RPyC is as easy as pip install rpyc. If you’re new to RPyC, be sure to check out the Tutorial and Screen Casts. For an introductory reading, David Mertz wrote a very thorough Charming Python installment about RPyC, explaining how it’s different from existing alternatives (Pyro, XMLRPC, etc.), what roles it can play, and even show-cases some key features of RPyC (like the security model, remote monkey-patching, or remote resource utilization).

Eight Indigenous Prophecies | Phillip H. Duran / Eaglehouse Publications "Eight Indigenous Prophecies" Phillip H. Duran Why did American Indian tribes survive the Indian wars and genocide, the unacknowledged American holocaust? The significance of prophecies emerges when we ask what the immigrants from Europe lost by scorning Indigenous knowledge and wisdom that were already here on Turtle Island. We must compare the global effects of modern technology and European industrial thinking and practices with American Indian traditions, which represent sustainable science. Indigenous peoples are intimately familiar with their landscapes and have been observing signs that serve as global indicators of portentous changes occurring on the Earth. Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. Chief Seattle was thinking in long time frames when he stated, perhaps prophetically, that immigrants to this Continent from Europe and the Western forms of civilization they cultivated would eventually disappear like another wave in the sea of time.
How to Build a Desktop Computer - All The first step to building a computer is getting the right parts.Although there is an almost innumerable amount of parts to choose from, they all fall into basic categories. The essential components of every computer are the following: Case/Chassis - This is the box that most people associate computers with. Although it holds every component inside, it is effectively useless on its own. Power Supply – This powers the computer by taking power from your wall and regulating it to the motherboard, and on to the rest of your computer.Motherboard – This is the centerpiece of your computer. RAM – Random Access Memory is the "short-term memory" of a computer. Hard Drive – The hard drive is the "long-term memory" of the computer. Video Card/Graphics Card/GPU – While the CPU handles most computation, the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) handles all computing related to visuals. Now that you understand what each part does, it is time to pick them out.
Greywater - Wikipedia Left: a bottle of greywater from an office building before treatment. Right: greywater following membrane bioreactor treatment Greywater (also spelled graywater, or grey water/gray water) or sullage is all wastewater generated in households or office buildings from streams without fecal contamination, i.e. all streams except for the wastewater from toilets. Sources of greywater include, e.g. sinks, showers, baths, clothes washing machines or dish washers. Overview[edit] Example of a source of greywater in the household: dirty water from cleaning the floor Greywater treatment plant with membrane bioreactor in the basement of an office building in Frankfurt, Germany Treated greywater has many uses, for example toilet flushing or irrigation.[3] Treatment processes[edit] Greywater "towers" are used to treat and reuse greywater in the city of Arba Minch, Ethiopia Underground greywater recycling tank Safety[edit] Greywater use for irrigation appears to be a safe practice.
