Tigers in the Korean DMZ?

Tigers in the Korean DMZ? 09/11/2004 12:49 PM
Xeni Jardin: Snipped from Bruce Sterling's Viridian Design email newsletter, a New York Times story about wild animals reclaiming the heavily-landmined DMZ that divides North and South Korea.

[E]nvironmentalists have recognized this area one of the most enduring symbols of the cold war and one of the most fortified and heavily mined stretches on earth as the Korean peninsula's, and possibly East Asia's, most important wildlife refuge. They have been pressing to preserve it but are feeling a special urgency now because of the growing reconciliation between the North and the South. The environmentalists fear that a South Korea that puts economic development first and a North Korea that has no environmental movement could together lead to the zone's rapid destruction as a refuge. (..)

"The DMZ is the last major vestige of Korea's natural heritage," said Kim Ke Chung, a professor at the Center for BioDiversity Research at Penn State and chairman of the DMZ Forum, an organization based in the United States that is dedicated to preserving the zone. "It's probably the only good thing to come out of the Korean War and cold war. So we have to preserve this as a nature reserve." [Bruce Sterling says: "How did the Cold War become the 'cold war' all of a sudden?]

The DMZ Forum recently held a conference in Seoul to gather support for designating the zone a Unesco World Heritage Site, a classification that would curb all development. William B. Shore, secretary of the forum and a former fellow at the Regional Plan Association of New York, said the zone should become a center for eco-tourism as an alternative to turning it into a weekend getaway for residents of Seoul.

"People are now willing to pay large sums to see wild animals in the proper setting," Mr. Shore said. "Eco-tourism would protect the DMZ from becoming the Hamptons of South Korea." [Bruce Sterling says: "Perhaps it's possible to transform the Hamptons into a DMZ."]

Lions, tigers and bears. Oh my. 05/06/2004 02:25 PM
Polar bears of Churchill, Manitoba. Wildlife photographer Ken Bereskin has a nice collection of polar bears frolicking in the snow. This itchy bear is so frustrated, he's using the rippled ice of a frozen lake to scratch himself. If you need a change of temperature, he also has over 500 images of wildlife from Uganda and Kenya, including bi g cats (a mother cuddli ng with her cubs, a cheetah chompi ng down on a gazelle, and a young lioness shreddi ng a skeleton to pieces), great apes, and other wildlife (the lowly hyena eating the cheetah's leftovers, a black-headed heron eating a venomous boomslang snake, and a scary- looking vulture taking it all in from above). He also has a smaller collection of desert wildlife from the dunes of Etoshia National Park in Namibia. (His real job is working for Apple, and he has a Panther blog that hasn't been updated in eons, but evidently that's not as much fun as chasing after hungry carnivorous animals in the sweltering heat, or risking frostbite in the snow).

PubSub Link Ranks
http://www.pubsub.com/linkrank s/

Link ranks are the way of measuring the strength, persistence, and vitality of links appearing in weblogs. When PubSub reads a new weblog entry, they pull out any URIs they find and attach them to the entry in a separate field. This allows their users to include domain names or linked file types when creating subscriptions. From this set of URIs, it's easy to find the most popular domains. Link ranks take one more step and calculate scores for each linking site; domains are then scored based on the values of the sites that link to them. The theory is basically that these are the links you're most likely to click on, if you read a weblog at random. Unlike Google's PageRank system, link ranks are not iterative. Rather, they base link ranks on a simple formula that only looks at local links - links which are within one or two steps of any target site. Also, it's important to note that they only look at links which are in weblog entries - they don't read any of the other links on the page, like the side bars or blogrolls. The intent of this system is not to measure the strength of any particular domain, but rather the relative likelihood that you'd find and follow a link to that domain. As such, the links are what's really important, not the pages themselves.
