HI everyone :) I'm trying to catch up with my translations (after not being able to contribute for some months), but I can't seem to find any translations needing updating in Mailman. Even the POT file in the Mailman 3.0 branch has a last-modified date of 2006-04-28. The vi.po files in each branch are complete, and haven't been changed since I last submitted them. Surely there are new strings or changed strings needing updating. But how do I find them? Thankyou for any help you can offer with this. :) from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/vi-VN

Hi, Now mailman is in bzr, and it's alos on launchpad, can translations be made against the launchpad interface ? For instance, in the mailman that is shipped with feisty, I see 228 untranslated strings... I am not sure if that aligns with the versions that we translated. Anyone can shed some light on this !? ace https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/mailman/+pots/mail…

Harman Agency Reverse Modeling, a premier 3D scanning solutions and service provider, has signed an agreement with 3D3 Solutions, developer of FlexScan3D, to resell their innovative reverse modeling solution to designers, artists, manufacturers and engineering professionals. Under the agreement, Reverse Modeling will offer the FlexScan3D software package nationwide. FlexScan3D Scanner is a software-based 3D scanner that lets users plug in virtually any digital SLR camera and off-the-shelf projector to create a 3D representation of an object for use in downstream applications or rapid prototyping. Offered at a fraction of the cost of most commercially available scanner solutions, FlexScan3D represents a shift in the 3D scanning market toward a more mainstream use of 3d scanners. The ability to plug in a variety of SLR cameras and projectors means that users have control over the quality and accuracy of the data, and can have multi-camera configurations at a much lower cost. "What makes FlexScan3D unique", says customer, John Thompson, "is that its flexible and affordable enough that the average modeler or designer can now capture 3D content without having to invest a lot of money on expensive or bulky hardware. I plug in my existing SLR and projector and I can capture everything I need, fast. I'm getting quality data that's better than more expensive systems." The addition of the FlexScan3D software gives Reverse Modeling clients a powerful and cost effective solution for reverse engineering and visualizing physical objects in 3D space. http://www.theharmanagency.com

Tackling Key Home Improvement Projects - Direct Buy

Direct Buy Summer time means barbeques, baseball, camping, and yes, Home Improvement Projects! As the weather gets nice and the days get longer so do lists of home improvement projects. Here are a few projects which are best done in the summer maximizing the long days and the good weather! *Gardening/Landscaping:* Depending on which part of the country you live in it may be too late to plant a garden from seed, but you most likely still have time to get your garden going using starters. Plant now, be sure to properly weed and water and you will enjoy your vegetables all fall. Many landscaping projects can be done throughout the year but it can be easier and more enjoyable during the summer. Build a rockwall, plant some perennials, or put down a fresh layer of mulch. Working in the summer ensures the soil will be easy to work with and completing these projects now allows you to enjoy them for the remainder of the summer and fall. *Exterior Painting:* In many parts of the country 80% of exterior painting gets done between the end of June and middle of September. The reason is the weather is more predictable and warmer; you don't have to worry as much about getting rained on in the middle of applying the second coat of paint. The summer months are also a popular time for staining decks. Not only do most people spend a lot of time on their decks during the summer and thus want them to look nice, but the long days are ideal for completing a re-staining job in a weekend. *Roof replacement:* Summer is the perfect time to replace your roof because there is no chance of getting snow and the weather is more predictable so you can plan the best time to tear the roof off. There is nothing worse than tearing off your roof right before a large rain fall! Also, in the summer you don't have to worry about losing the heat from your home as you would during the cold winter months. *Screening in your Porch:* To fully enjoy the outside without the bugs, screening in your porch is the only way to go. This project can actually be competed almost anytime during the year but will be enjoyed during the summer. *Get Air Conditioning unit tuned up:* If you haven't already done so you should get your AC tuned up. Many units use close to 50% more energy when they are not running properly. With the rising cost of energy you can't afford to keep your Air Conditioner running below its peak. The preceding is a list of projects which are best completed during the summer months. There are many other projects that are also completed during the summer but the ones above should be moved to the top of your list to maximize the weather during the summer. Good luck and don't forget to make time to go swimming too! http://www.directbuy.com/

Sierra Club-NYC Report Calls for New York City Energy Shortage Contingency Plan - Energy Automation Systems
by paul.kholer paul.kholer 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

Energy Automation Systems Sierra Club NYC Group releases a report detailing why and how the City needs to prevent rapid price spikes by planning and acting today. The group says Mayor Bloomberg's PlaNYC 2030 moves the City in the right direction in planning for long term sustainability, but encourages City leaders to include rapid energy conservation plans to respond to potential energy price shocks. Its report, "Moving NYC Toward Sustainable Energy Independence," authored by Dan Miner, the Group's energy committee chair, requests Council to reconsider Intro. 374, previously submitted in 2004. Both San Francisco and Portland, Oregon have passed similar bills. Short and long-term recommendations on transportation, buildings, electric generation and renewable power, addressing both global warming and energy security are offered in the report. Some recommendations were included in PlaNYC and in Governor Spitzer's plan to reduce state electricity use 15% by 2015, others will enhance these proposals, while stepping up the City's climate change response. Organizations that have signed on to the report so far include: American Littoral Society NE Chapter, Asthma Free School Zone, Carbon Tax Center, Galapagos Art Center, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Energy & Environment Program at Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, New York Public Interest Research Group, Nos Quedamos, NY Divinity School, the Pace Energy Project, Sane Aviation for Everyone, Solar One, Sustainable South Bronx, The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, and The Gaia Institute. New York City Must Prepare Now for Energy Security Dan Miner, Sierra Club NYC Group energy committee chair Many of us are worried about the long-term consequences of climate change, and there's growing support for the warnings of climate scientists that we need to cut carbon emissions by 80% by 2050 to avoid climate catastrophe. On the other hand, most Americans are not cutting their energy use significantly. Defenders of business as usual claim that energy frugality will harm our economy, while failing to consider that inaction now guarantees wrecking the economy later with heat waves and flooding. Part of the problem is the perception that the climate impacts of our oil addiction lie far in the future, preventing a public consensus of urgency. Without that, the bold political action we need today is impossible. Our dependence on imported fossil fuels poses serious short-term risks as well. Conservative pundits and military analysts tell us that even slight disruptions to our oil imports will cause prices to spike to $100 a barrel or more. The economic consequences will impact most Americans personally and directly. Unlike climate change impacts, we could be faced with the national security threat of price shocks at any time. For example, an attack on Iran is likely to result in a blockade of the Straits of Hormuz, through which over a third of the world's oil is shipped. Hopefully that won't happen, but we're still at risk from disruptions caused by Gulf Coast hurricanes or terrorist attacks on oil shipping and refining infrastructure. Even without a crisis, a recent GAO report documents that depleting world oil supplies, when combined with rising demand, will make energy markets increasingly volatile - and supply disruptions inevitable. Rising awareness of climate change is accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels, and we need to step it up further. Short-term municipal plans to conserve energy quickly during fuel price shocks are a critical starting point. Putting them into place will make cities more resilient, and public education about them will motivate rapid implementation of efficiency, conservation and renewable energy projects. Both the Administration and the Council have been doing a fine job on environmental issues, and with PlaNYC 2030, New York City is on the path toward long-term sustainability. However, our vulnerability to energy shocks requires attention now. How would $100 a barrel oil affect trucks bringing groceries to supermarkets, winter heating bills, commuters, and the restaurants and theaters dependent on tourists? These are prudent questions to consider well before problems arise. The newly released Sierra Club report, "Moving New York City toward Sustainable Energy Independence" asks the PlaNYC initiative to address this issue, and urges the City Council to resurrect the bill, drafted in 2004 by its own Environmental Committee, which would create a City energy shortage contingency plan. San Francisco and Portland, Oregon have already passed similar bills, and are already developing their plans. The report recommends creating such a plan in the short term, and over the long term, rapid deployment of decentralized, renewable power, and other measures that will enhance PlaNYC 2030 implementation. By cutting energy costs, creating jobs, and slowing global warming while buffering the impact of energy shocks, the approach is a win-win solution. New York's example could lead the U.S. toward energy independence. We don't have to wait for future disasters, let's start moving beyond oil today. http://www.energyautomation.com/
