Volunteers from the Northern Mill Engine Society have rescued and restored 25 old stationary steam engines - some of the engines which once powered the textile mills of the North of England. Most will be running in steam on Saturday and Sunday. Our oldest engine is around 170 years old! We have 2 rare beam engines and a unique "non-dead-centre" engine in the collection. Our volunteers have just rescued another very old and unusual engine from the scrapman. After lying in a field in Yorkshire for over 30 years, we are now restoring it back to working order. You'll find us at the back of Morrison's Atlas Mills supermarket, on Chorley Old Road, next to the petrol station: (this is the out-of-town Morrison's, not the one near the town centre.) Admission is free, and there is free unlimited parking on the supermarket car park. For further details see our website: http://www.nmes.org

Frank Warren, creator and curator of the enormously popular PostSecret Web site and book series, will speak at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, on Thursday, Dec. 10 Warren’s appearance in the college’s annual Speaker Series takes place at 7:30 p.m. in the Junker Center. The event is free and open to the public. PostSecret.com began in 2004 with a simple invitation from Warren: “You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything—as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative.” The overwhelming response—now over 400,000 postcards—is provocative and profound. The handmade cards are works of art with addictively compelling messages revealing their creators’ deepest fears, desires, regrets and obsessions. Warren calls the postcards “graphic haiku”—small in size but powerful in emotion. Recent examples from the PostSecret Web site, which changes every Sunday: “I purposely don’t get pregnant to (anger) my mother-in-law.” “I told everyone that I voted.” “Six months ago I had gastric bypass, have lost 100 lbs., and have never felt better! I am terrified that conversations with my daughter about body image, self-confidence, and loving who you are will make me a hypocrite.” “Mom, if you ever find out that I was molested, I will tell you it was a tale I made up to get sympathy from my friends.” PostSecret.com has launched five books, including PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives, this year’s PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God, and a traveling art exhibit called “One of the five best art shows in 2005” by the Washington Post. Earlier this year, Forbes magazine put Frank Warren in the number-four spot on its annual “Web Celeb 25” list, behind celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, tech blogger Michael Arrington, and Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg.com. Citing a 2008 survey by market research firm Youth Trends, Forbes noted that PostSecret, which receives 3,000,000 visits a month, is the 10th most popular Web site among female college students. As a result of the recurring theme of suicide in the postcards he receives, Warren has become involved with National Hopeline Network’s 1.800.SUICIDE prevention effort. He allowed the band The All-American Rejects, who performed at Penn State Behrend last spring, to use actual PostSecret images in its “Dirty Little Secret” music video in return for a $2,000 donation to the nonprofit. Warren’s Penn State Behrend Speaker Series presentation is supported by the Student Activity Fee, the Division of Student Affairs, and the Harriet Behrend Ninow Memorial Lecture Series Fund. Upcoming spring semester speakers will be NPR’s Michele Norris on January 21, Fox News business correspondent Stuart Varney on March 18, and environmentalist Jean-Michel Cousteau on April 20. For more information about Penn State Behrend’s annual Speaker Series, phone the Office of Student Activities at 814-898-6171.

The Second International workshop on Grid Computing (GridCom-2010) (In Conjunction with WiMo - 2010) June 25 ~ 28, 2010 Ankara, Turkey Call for Papers Service-oriented computing is a popular design methodology for large scale business computing systems. Grid computing enables the sharing of distributed computing and data resources such as processing, networking and storage capacity to create a cohesive resource environment for executing distributed applications in service-oriented computing. Grid computing represents more business-oriented orchestration of pretty homogeneous and powerful distributed computing resources to optimize the execution of time consuming process as well. Grid computing have received a significant and sustained research interest in terms of designing and deploying large scale and high performance computational in e-Science and businesses. The objective of the meeting is to serve as both the premier venue for presenting foremost research results in the area and as a forum for introducing and exploring new concepts. Topic of Interest Authors are solicited to contribute to the workshop by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the following areas, but are not limited to Applications, including eScience and eBusiness Applications Architectures and Fabrics Distributed and Large-Scale Data Access and Management Core Grid Infrastructure Peer to Peer Protocols in Grid Computing Network Support for Grid Computing Monitoring, Management and Organization Tools Networking and Security Performance Measurement and Modelling Metadata, Ontology, and Provenance Middleware and toolkits for Grid Computing Computing and Programming Models Programming Tools and Environments Distributed Problem Solving Creation and Management of Virtual Enterprises and Organizations Information Services Resource Management, Scheduling, and Runtime Environments Scientific, Industrial and Social Implications?

Description:
This workshop is to see what sort of interesting and innovative applications people would build using the AnyMeta API and related technologies. What? Mediamatic Lab has created a fascinating collection of social network websites with their CMS AnyMeta. Most of these sites are interconnected using Open-CI, Mediamatic's Open Community Infrastructure, an umbrella-name for a set of specifications which all use Open Standards to create a federation of social networks. Besides www.mediamatic.net, a few examples of Open-CI-powered sites are: www.picnicnetwork.org www.dezwijger.nl www.depaviljoens.nl www.ccaa.nl You can see all the websites made by Mediamatic Lab on their website. Arjan Scherpenisse will show you how you can make applications that interface with any AnyMeta website and he talks about the use of Python, Processing and Java libraries to connect to these sites. Examples of applications which integrate with AnyMeta are the ikCam photobooth and the various social rfid games like the installations developed at this year's Social RFID Hacker Camp. 10:00 – 11:30 AnyMeta introduction, Open-CI, API basics 11:30 – 12:30 Break 12:30 – 17:00 Hands-on prototyping sessions iPhone App Maarten Wolzak of Magnatron will explain how he built an iPhone App for a new version of the Digital Jewish Monument (another AnyMeta website by Mediamatic Lab). This application will be released in the iPhone AppStore later this year. He will show you how to use the iPhone and the AnyMeta API to interface with Mediamatic.net. Information and price Participation cost € 50 incl. VAT. Please bring your own laptop! We serve coffee and tea with cookies. The Hacking Open-CI websites lab is a collaboration between Mediamatic and Mediamatic Lab. If you are interested in joining this workshop, please RSVP with the 'count me in' button on the website.
