The end of the visible index : all non-Asian National Library serial records are now online

National Library of Australia Gateways, April, 2007 by Nikki White

A major milestone was achieved in February 2007 with the completion of a project to create online catalogue records for all non-Asian serials held by the National Library.

This was a huge task spanning more than 20 years, and involving the conversion of information from the manual visible index (VI) which was used for the entry of serial issues received, and also from various card catalogues and shelf lists that had been created over the years. Making this information available online now means that anyone anywhere in the world can use the National Library’s OPAC, or Libraries Australia, to view details of the National Library’s serial holdings.

The ambitious goal of creating online records for all our serials really became a possibility with the advent of ABN in 1981. Staff began cataloguing new non-Asian serials onto this system, and by June 1982 there were about 4000 National Library holdings added to it.

The first dedicated serial conversion project was undertaken between December 1985 and March 1986. The project was aimed primarily at supporting a new service introduced by Document Supply. The ‘fast track’ service gave priority to requests that supplied the National Library call number, so it was important to make this information available in ABN. Titles listed in the major indexing and abstracting tools were targeted as being the most likely to be requested. There was a high copy cataloguing hit rate of around 94% for these titles on ABN

* President Bush inherited a recession and turned it around in a year with tax cuts. We prospered for six years under Bush until the Democrats took over Congress in 2006. n St. Albans has an awesome police force, but why in the world would they hire a police officer that already had baggage from incidents when he was on another police force? * Jay Rockefeller has to be insane.

Why would he bring Harry Reid to West Virginia for fundraising when he wants to do away with coal mining? * Obama is talking about extending more payments for people who are jobless because they would spend their money faster. What about the senior citizens who are on fixed income? They still have families, too. They have worked all their lives. We should think of the elderly. * To the venter that doesnt want neighbors spraying their fence and vegetation: Dont leave your weeds growing on the neighbors side of the fence and they wont have to spray at all. Clean your side up. * To the venter who said Gov. Manchin had not been a good steward with the states money: In the same paper another venter said the state has a $90 million surplus. It sounds to me like he knows what hes doing. * We have a terrible choice which is no choice at all. The new U.S. 35 four-lane road will need another $200,000 to complete. Without a toll road it will never be completed, since the state has no money. Joe Manchin is sitting on $500,000 million dollars in a rainy day fund waiting for it to rain

Amplify Turns Frustration Into Innovation — CMS Named as Finalist in ZDNet & CeBIT 2008 Emerging Innovation Awards

Market Wire, May, 2008

Amplify, a search engine marketing and
digital agency based in Sydney, Australia has been recognised for its web
2.0 Content Management System (CMS) ( http://www.amplify.com.au/seo-cms/ )
that melds ease of use and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) functionality.

Content Management Systems are often the bane of users. They are often
complex, technical systems that spurn users, rather than attract them.
Amplify’s powerful, yet easy to use CMS, Eleven, is looking to reverse this
negative experience.

Amplify’s effort to simplify the website management experience has resulted
in Eleven being named as a finalist in the ZDNet Australia & CeBIT 2008
Emerging Innovations Awards ( http://www.zdnet.com.au/comps/cebit2008/ ).

The inspiration behind Amplify’s new CMS emerged from pure frustration. “We
found ourselves pulling our hair out each time we had to optimize an
existing website with a CMS in place,” said Amplify CEO Tom Petryshen.
“Most content management tools have to be hacked to make them accessible to
search engine crawlers.”

In addition, the sheer complexity built into these systems over the years
means that they often don’t serve the needs of the very people they are
meant to help, the content authors and brand managers.

“Our main focus from the beginning was to avoid developing a ‘Swiss army
knife’ or a CMS that did everything,” says Tom. “Rather, we wanted a system
that simplified content management and in addition made our lives a whole
lot easier when optimising for search.”

The end result is a CMS that really has to be seen in action to be
believed. It’s easy to use, yet powerful enough to run Australia’s top
travel agency website. With quick access to all the necessary SEO features,
it’s a winning combination for businesses wanting to make their online
channel more profitable.

The ZDNet Australia & CeBIT 2008 Emerging Innovation program showcases the
best examples of emerging innovation from CeBIT 2008 exhibitors that have
had a real business impact on the Australian landscape in the last 12
months.

The CMS is being judged on a range of factors including innovation,
productivity, ROI, ease of management, risk management or implementation
and competitive edge.

Innovation — Amplify’s CMS Eleven simplifies content management by
combining contextual editing for quick updates with powerful back-end
editing features without compromising functionality. Users can easily edit
content, update Meta Data, create a new page, administer user rights,
restructure the site or add new templates from a single interface.

Productivity — Eleven’s in context WYSIWYG editor improves productivity by
reducing the time it takes to edit, add, and publish content. Eleven’s
streamlined interface minimises training for new staff meaning they spend
more time optimising content and improving the website rather than leaning
how to use system.

Return on Investment — With built in SEO functionality every page you
publish is highly accessible to search engines ensuring your website is
contributing to your company’s bottom line.

Ease of Management — Eleven’s feature rich, toolbar provides
administrators full access to the CMS’s functionality without compromising
on power.

Risk Management — As a SaaS solution, the CMS provides a working backup of
the entire website

Before the dawn of highly processed modern diets, foods were an important sulfur source. Due to air, soil and water pollution, over-farming, irrigation, and deforestation, our food is severely mineral depleted. It is therefore very important that you replace these minerals?especially sulfur.

The best type of MSM to take are the raw crystals. It is the most bio-available and economical form. It is more economical to take higher dosages of pure crystals for therapeutic benefits rather than tons of capsules. Please make sure that your source is pure and does not have fillers as there are many sub par msm supplements on the market.

One perspective is no better or worse than another. Some problems are simple enough that they only need a single perspective to solve them. Your body can tackle the challenge of eating a meal without much conscious thought. Your mind can solve a math problem without needing to consult your feelings. Your emotions can signal danger without consulting your spirit. But sometimes these parts don?t listen to each other. Your body tries to gobble up the junk food while your mind says, ?Put that donut down!? Your mind focuses on negative outcomes while your emotions say, ?You?re stressing me out here!? And you start plotting revenge out of anger while your spirit says, ?You believe in forgiveness.?

Each part of you has its own unique perspective, and each is wise in its own way. By listening to all four parts and iterating through them again and again, you eventually reach a state of congruence. It?s an internal negotiation process. Body wants that donut. Mind says no. Spirit says, ?Blech. The donut maker treats her employees harshly.? Heart says ?Mmmmm, donut!? Body says, ?I?m hungry.? Mind says, ?OK, you can have a muffin instead.? Spirit says, ?Make sure it?s organic.? Body says, ?OK, I?ll have an organic banana nut muffin.? Heart says, ?Banana nut? now that?s good muffin!?

The same goes for career.

There is a lot of controversy about the efficacy of laser removal of stretch marks. The main bone of contention is that lasers are only useful in breaking down or vaporizing tissue, not in actually repairing it. In fact, even surgical intervention is apparently only useful if actual skin is excised. This goes along with the general medical standpoint ? there is no cure for stretch marks.

The school of thought that does advocate cosmetic laser treatment for stretch marks holds a different view. According to this scripture, lasers can be useful in stimulating renewed growth of depleted collagen and will therefore ?fill in? stretch marks. The process is supposed to direct laser energy into the lower strata of the skin and thereby encourage collagen production.

Its exponents also promote the usefulness of laser treatment in treating stretch marks because it can remove damaged skin tissue, seal broken blood vessels and remodel the fibers of the affected middle skin. Lasers have certainly found extensive application in smoothing wrinkled skin

There seems to be some evidence that cosmetic laser surgery has some utility in making stretch marks fade, though not entirely disappear. Even then, this would be effective only in the early stages, the fundament being that lasers work well only to darker skin tones.

This means that stretch marks would respond satisfactorily only during the stage where they are of reddish or brownish tinge.
