<p>In a recent study, "From Predators to Icons," the French scholars Michel Villette and Catherine Vuillermot set out to discover what successful entrepreneurs have in common.</p>
….
<p>
The entrepreneur has access to that deal by virtue of occupying a "structural hole," a niche that gives him a unique perspective on a particular market. Villette and Vuillermot go on, "The businessman looks for partners to a transaction who do not have the same definition as he of the value of the goods exchanged, that is, who undervalue what they sell to him or overvalue what they buy from him in comparison to his own evaluation."</p>

Powerhouse Dynamics Announces New Funding | http://tinyurl.com/yhdm9rw | #emonitor #energy #pr #emon<blockquote>
<p>
NEWTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Powerhouse Dynamics, the only provider of affordable total home energy management solutions that unify energy efficiency and renewable energy, today announced that it has closed on a round of funding, led by CommonAngels of Lexington, MA, to support the rollout of its revolutionary energy management system, the eMonitorTM.
</p>
<p>
“The eMonitor has been incredibly well-received by our beta testers, as well by a wide range of companies that have joined our dealer network,” said Martin Flusberg, company CEO. “This funding will allow us to ramp up production, now that we have begun shipping the product to dealers, and help us expand our dealer channel. There is pent-up demand from dealers, as well as from consumers since the product was highlighted on the TV show Ask This Old House®. Our biggest challenge right now is keeping up with the demand.”

Absalom Jones (1746 – February 13, 1818) was an African-American abolitionist and clergyman. After founding a black congregation in 1794, in 1804 he was the first African-American ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church of the United States. He is listed on the Episcopal calendar of saints and blessed under the date of his decease, February 13, in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer as "Absalom Jones, Priest, 1818".

<p><i>Would you explain what you mean by fully articulated (as distinct, I suppose, from partially or un-articulated) name spaces?</i>
</p>
<p>
I mean that every significant item of interest is URL addressable.
</p>
<p>
A somewhat coarsely-granular example: The case of a city council meeting, that would mean ensuring that every agenda item is addressable, not just the meeting as a whole.
</p>
<p>
A more finely-granular example: A crime dataset would be URL-addressable by category, view, or even perhaps by more precise query that gets down to a rowset or even a field.
