Lazy Load Plugin for jQuery

by rvuong & 9 others
Lazy Load is a jQuery plugin written in JavaScript. It delays loading of images in long web pages. Images outside of viewport (visible part of web page) wont be loaded before user scrolls to them. This is opposite of image preloading. Using Lazy Load on long web pages containing many large images makes the page load faster. Browser will be in ready state after loading visible images. In some cases it can also help to reduce server load.

Merci Mamie ©

by sbrothier
Et soudain à l’horizon de nos chimères d’urbains passablement blasés que voyons-nous? Des frusques que nous n’aimerons plus dans quelques saisons? Des visages dont la grâce se sera évanouie en un battement de faux cils ? Alors vers qui se tourner? Vers quoi? Vers l’enfance, cette délicieuse contrée de plaisirs sucrés où tout n’était que jeu. En ce royaume oublié régnait une femme. Mamie. De ses longues mains osseuses et dans la lueur bleutée de ses cheveux, mamie nous choyait comme des bienheureux en nous faisant croire que cette vie durerait toujours. Mamie fut notre muse, notre bienfaitrice à tous. Merci Mamie est un hommage à cet âge d’or perdu, à ces femmes qui nous faisaient entrer quelques semaines de vacances par an dans l’illusion de l’innocence. Merci mamie est un manifeste contre la jeunesse en perte de valeurs et d’idéaux. Mamie est là quelque part, elle vous ouvre son cœur.

The Best Samurai Movies Ever (Jidaigeki - Chanbara Movies) Part 1 of 2

by sbrothier
Some of the greatest films ever made are samurai movies usually set in the Edo period, or Tokugawa period, from 1603 to 1868, when Japan was ruled by the shoguns of the Tokugawa family. Sometimes these films are set in the late Heian period or early Meiji era, too.

Apple hit by boycott call over worker abuses in China | Technology | The Observer

by night.kame

Earlier this month Apple took the unusual step of releasing a list of all the firms in its worldwide supply chain as part of its 2011 audit of human rights conditions at factories where it has partnerships.However, the company's own list made for grim reading. It revealed that a staggering 62% of the 229 facilities that it was involved with were not in compliance with Apple's 60-hour maximum working week policy. Almost a third had problem with hazardous waste.Cook insisted in his email that Apple did not turn a blind eye to conditions in its supplier network. But he did warn that the firm was likely to discover more problems. "We will continue to dig deeper, and we will undoubtedly find more issues," he said.

Tim Cook, CEO actuel d'Apple, est responsable de toute la partie production depuis son arrivée en 1998. La fermeture des usines Apple : c'est Cook. La transformation d'Apple, fabricant informatique, en un bureau d'études couplé à une agence de publicité : c'est Cook. L'iPhone 4 blanc avec un an de retard : c'est encore Cook. Depuis 10 ans, Cook a joué la carte "sweatshops" et engrangé les profits ; ça commence à se voir, mais ça n'est plus un problème : l'argent est là, n'a jamais été distribué aux actionnaires, il peut s'acheter une virginité tel le mafieux versant son obole pour la restauration du presbytère.

The Myth of Chiburi? | [ kenshi247.net ]

by Takwann
n many iaido ryuha, chiburi is a fundamental part of kata. Chiburi, usually written 血振 in Japanese, literally means “shaking off blood,” and the image presented is that of flinging the blood of a defeated enemy off the blade with a deft movement before resheathing. Perhaps mainly due to the prevalence of Muso Shinden-ryu and Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu, some people believe that chiburi is a universal aspect of iai. However, many ryuha do not practice chiburi, and there is the opinion – which has become more widespread recently, thanks to the sharing of knowledge via the internet – that shaking off blood in this way is in fact impossible. If this is the case, then what purpose does chiburi serve? Is it pointless? Why do some ryuha practice it? And was it really ever intended to remove blood from a blade?

The Tanka of Eishin-ryu: Part One – Yokogumo | [ kenshi247.net ]

by Takwann
Musō Jikiden Eishin-ryū and Musō Shinden-ryū are the two most widely-studied schools of iaido in the world. Both were derived from Hasegawa Eishin-ryū, which was founded by Hasegawa Chikaranosuke Eishin during the Edo period. Two generations later, the ryūha moved to Tosa, where it was transmitted until the modern era. Eishin, the seventh-generation shihan of Hayashizaki Jinsuke’s Shinmei Musō-ryū, was responsible for adapting that school’s battō techniques for the uchigatana, as well as creating a number of waza himself. The waza he created are today collected in both Musō Jikiden Eishin-ryū and Musō Shinden-ryū at the Chūden level, in the set of techniques known as Tatehiza no Bu. This set may also be referred to simply as ‘Eishin-ryū’ or ‘Hasegawa Eishin-ryū.’

polis: Moving On Up? Outdoor Escalators in Urban Environments

by karlcow

In Comuna 13 of Medellin, Colombia's largest city, a recently built 1,260-foot long escalator snakes across the hillside shantytown in six separate divisions. As part of the neighborhood's larger urban regeneration project, this massive outdoor escalator cuts down the time to traverse Comuna 13, reportedly one of Medellin's poorest and most violent neighborhoods, from 35 minutes to six minutes on foot.

25 personnages, 12 épisodes, 12 vices, 1 restaurant, 1 énigme, 1 espace-temps… et 1 cadavre. Pour élucider l’énigme, vous devrez remonter dans le temps… 12 fois plutôt qu’une. L’internaute démarre son expérience dans la salle à manger d’un restaurant à l’heure du déjeuner. Quelques minutes avant le drame, douze conversations ont été entamées entre convives, serveurs et cuisiniers. Ces conversations sont le point de départ d’une énigme non-linéaire à résoudre sur le site dédié de l’expérience.
