CW Nicol - Working With Woodlands
When he was just 17, C. W. Nicol journeyed from his homeland of Wales to the North Pole and across Canada. A decade later, he was struggling desperately against poachers as an officer in Ethiopia's Ministry of Wildlife Conservation. After a long life of adventuring and devotion to the martial arts, he settled down in the wilds of Satoyama, Nagano Prefecture. In 1986, he began to preserve and restore the woodlands on a rough patch of land on the Kurohime Plateau now known as the C. W. Nicol Afan Woodland. The author of multiple works in many languages, frequently on things natural, C. W. took Japanese nationality in 1995. His ecotourism work, including establishing the Afan Forest Foundation in 2002, aims to expand public initiatives and awareness, and he has often served as the environmental conscience of Japan's government. Particularly after the Great East Japan Earthquake, no one has a stronger desire to see people living in harmony with nature. http://www.cwnicol.com/ http://afan.or.jp/

How do you pronounce the image file format GIF (short for Graphics Interchange Format)? The White House Tumblr blog recently sparked a debate by saying it's GIF, with a 'hard G', but they're actually wrong... both the founder of the GIF, the initial GIF file format specification, and the earliest known mention of the pronunciation of the acronym found on the web say it is pronounced "JIF" as in the peanut butter, also because the JIF peanut butter brand at the time of the creation of GIF had a popular TV commercial that said "choosy moms choose JIF", and the specification promoted itself with a parody that went "choosy designers choose GIF".

A documentary by Patrick Daly about the struggle for survival of traditional art and culture in the face of a rapidly changing and modernizing world told from the perspective of time-honored Chinese Kung Fu masters. The story explores the history, the art of Kung Fu and asks important questions about how the cultural heritage can be kept alive in a world that prefers to forget about its origins. The sadness and tragedy conveyed in the personal stories and anecdotes of today's last surviving traditional Kung Fu masters, along with the majesty and beauty of their skills, serve as reminders of the frailty of even the deadliest of arts.

Build Native iPhone Apps in HTML, CSS, JavaScript & PhoneGap
Quick overview of how to take a garden variety web app built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and convert it to a native iPhone app using PhoneGap.
In this example, @JonathanStark uses jQTouch (now jQts) to style and animate a web app that gets quickly and easily ported to an iOS native app using PhoneGap, but this would work with any web app or JavaScript framework.
For more instruction or info, see his book Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - Making App Store Apps Without Objective-C or Cocoa.

Objective-C For Dummies inspired video tutorials
There are many videos on YouTube saying they are "Objective-C Tutorials" but none of them are great. They usually just show you how to make a little program or assume you already have an Apple Developer license and xCode IDE fully setup and configured. Here, @ begins a series of videos that actually teach you the language of Objective-C from fundamentals through to advanced concepts required to actually deploy the next big iOS app or game.
Objective-C® for Dummies® by Neal Goldstein, Copyright © 2009 by Wiley Publishing, Inc., is the main source of information for this video.

Incineration of waste in Erta Ale Volcanoes lava lake
It is frequently discussed whether it is possible to sink in lava. Due to its high density, a person would generally be expected to remain on the surface. Indeed it is possible to briefly walk on certain types of lava if professional heat-protective clothing is worn (do not try yourself). However, the video shows that falling from a height, a person would be able to penetrate the crust of the lake and submerge in it. The test was performed with a box of camp waste (largely food rests) in a bin bag. Estimated weight 30kg, Size 60x60x60cm. Fall height, about 80m. The lake reacts with violent lava fountaining activity, presumably in part due to steam produced from the organic matter. The lava lake at Erta Ale has persisted for many years and contains relatively fluid basaltic lava. Only few volcanoes have such lakes.

Zach Sobiech - Clouds (Celebrity Ensemble Music Video)
Zach Sobiech is 17 years old and diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer that takes the lives of a large percent of its childhood victims. Given only months to live, Zach turned to music to say goodbye. His song "Clouds" spread, and soon, Zach's message was heard across the country. We wanted to help Zach spread his message, and bring awareness to increase support for finding a cure. So, we asked our friends to help out...they did.
To support Zach's Osteosarcoma fund, please either buy/download the CLOUDS song on iTunes or to donate directly to help find a cure for childhood cancer, visit:
