web usability expert Jakob Neilson put it, “The homepage is the most important page on any website, getting more page views than any other page. Of course, users don’t always enter a website from the homepage… People may follow links from search engines and other websites that reach deep inside your site. However, one of the first actions these users will take after arriving at a new site is to go to the homepage.

The MuseData format, developed by Walter Hewlett at the Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities (CCARH), located at Stanford University Eleanor Selfridge-Field from CCARH edited a magnificent book called Beyond MIDI: The Handbook of Musical Codes. Studying this volume made it clear that, as we had been advised, MuseData and Humdrum were the most comprehensive starting points for the type of language we wanted to build.

Peter Reich created the Swift Folder more than 10 years ago. He refined his design over the last decade and built and sold hundreds of bikes to New Yorkers. In 2004, Xootr LLC evaluated dozens of different bike designs and decided that the Swift Folder was the most elegant design on the market and licensed the Swift Folder from Design Mobility, Peter's company.

In an effort to utilize student creativity and encourage continuing community involvement there was a public design contest in the spring of 1999. Three of the top design submissions were combined and from those the Student Greenhouse Project's plans for the Bio-dome were developed.

Viridian Spirits worked with a top French designer who was familiar with Absinthe's past, but understood our desire to give the bottle a modern twist. The idea of using the cat's eyes came from a famous cabaret called "Le Chat Noir", which first opened in Montmartre, Paris in 1881. Several poets, including Verlaine and Rimbaud, used to spend their nights at Le Chat Noir drinking Absinthe.

The name comes from the founders of the company, widows and widowers, who found one another in chat rooms on America Online. See also our History page.

I sure did :). I couldn't find a proper blankie out there on the market to soothe my son's needs so out of necessity came the Buddy Blankie. And since my son was my little 'Buddy Bear' at the time, there's where the name came from. My son actually has a few, lol, but his first and favorite is his Jungle Patterned one. It is well worn and loved - he won't be without it Every Buddy is SomeBuddy's

New technology - The Internet has changed quite a bit since we first created our homepage nearly 10 years ago. New technologies have become available that let us manage the information you see on our website more efficiently. It took a lot of work to make changes on our old website and, most of the time, things that should have been updated just didn't get updated. Links were broken and didn't lead anywhere.

Me... Just kidding. Hair Art Design HairCuts have been in existence for thousands of years. Even advertising using Hair Art Design HairCuts were being done by the early Africans where they would shave their heads in different design patterns to symbolize their status or represent what clan they come from.

Technocracy's Technological Social Design involves the control of technology, not people. In so being, its design was not decided upon, but dictated by the physical requirements of operating the installed technology. However, since human beings are involved, the design must also be in accord with the biological nature of the human animal.

The National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA) was founded by L.A. Parent magazine in 1990. The Children's Products division of NAPPA was designed to help parents make the best, most age-appropriate choices in children's books, toys, music, DVDs, software and spoken-word recordings for their children, from newborn to adolescents. In 1998, the Parenting Resources division was added to provide parents with a "short list" of the best products to help raise and educate their children.

Scientists identified a type of chimpanzee in West Africa as the source of HIV infection in humans. The virus most likely jumped to humans when humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came into contact with their infected blood. Over several years, the virus slowly spread across Africa and later into other parts of the world.

Hippocrates, an ancient Greek physician known as the "father of medicine," named the condition on the basis of the Greek word for CROOKED.

According to information presented in Encyclopedia Britannica, sugar was known in India as early as 3000 BC. Gaura, an old Indian word for sugar, was apparently derived from the name Gur, an ancient monarchy in Bengal.

Kettlebells first appeared in Russia over 100 years ago. Originally kettlebells were used in fairs and markets to balance scales when weighing heavy objects.

A brief history: Both beekeepers had difficulty in shaking and brushing bees at harvest. The son kept designing new and innovative escape boards, bought a very expensive, powerful, and noisy Stihl backpack-type blower, and after getting frustrated with each approach, bought a bottle of Butyric Anhydride.

The Solar System Simulator originated as JPL's SPACE software package, which consisted of a set of computer graphics programs designed to simulate spacecraft trajectories and produce various photographic and video products.

Adam has said... "JP Plunier introduced me to Jack. I was in a Latin Group with Merlo. I suggested him and it went from there"

The breed originated in the late 1800's in Germany as a smaller version of the Standard Schnauzer that could live more easily as a house pet but still hunt vermin on the German farms.

I could tell you what I've read about evolution, the big-bang, super-universes, quantum foam, and all that stuff. Eventually you'd ask a question I can't answer, then I'd have to go look it up. Even If I had the time for that shit, in the end you'd ask a question science hasn't answered yet. So let's save time and skip ahead to "I don't know."

Yes, the product is named after some guy who has been dead for 276 years: Sir Isaac Newton, considered by many to be the greatest scientific mind in human history. From the very beginning we wanted to develop a system that would offset the head loads that occured during rapid deceleration. In a perfect world this would be an "equal and opposite reaction," Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Randall cattle originated on the farm of Samuel J. Randall and his son Everett in Sunderland, Vermont. Genetic isolation, subsistence farm management and selection on that farm resulted in the Randall breed we have today. Blood typing, anecdotal evidence and careful observation yield a general overview of the breed's unique ancestry.

By September 1994, a very large number of Dragons had given up on Prodigy and written the Prodigy Dragons off as a lost cause. That month, it was discovered that some Dragons had Internet email addresses, and knew someone that knew someone else's address, and so on... the upshot being that, in the space of roughly a week, about two dozen Dragons had been reunited from across the United States.

A) The programme content was originally designed to address the problem of travel sickness. It has long been established that one of the primary emetic detectors in the process of Emesis (the physical act of being sick) is the vestibular system. The DAVAL programme addresses the vestibular system in the most logical fashion - incidentally a mode which has never been done before.

In 1944, Congress authorized construction of an interstate expressway system connecting major cities and industrial centers. No money was involved in the bill. The project never took off until the awarding of the first contract for I-70 in Missouri, in 1956. North Dakota was the first state to complete its Interstates.
