You may feel sorry that the whole wikipedia mirror is gone, as the guy who did the same with my blog was also circumventing Chinese content restrictions, as earlier said that citizens of China are not allowed to read Wikipedia. His web site was shut down by his ISP due to supposed threats from government. This is English translation of farewell message.

Apart from this open acces or limitations issue, all my thanks and gratitude for help, comments, reactions and suggestions go to: to Stephen Brown, tonynovak, vlidi, to Bora Zivkovic, snapo, Yan, bernarda, Marc McCrohon, ref, greensmile, raincoaster,

What happens when someone steals entire content of your blog, actually steals unauthorized mirror of the blog, and the thief injected Google ads on it, breaking intellectual property, copyrights, etc, plus profiting from this noncommercial blog?

This is something that happened to me and let this be loud shame for such an act. It is detected where the stealer comes from, as well as I reported abuse email on their host, and to the Google removals. Thanks to Mirko and to Darren, and here is what you should do if something similar happens to you :

First find out on WHOIS the stealer, report directly to their host, if they abused and/or add ad-sense and making profit of your intellectual property. Report to Google ad-sense support as well as to Google removals. Do not forget, in the case of web infringement to report and send by email or fax to Digital Millenium Copyright Act. Also, report to your friend, colleagues and readers on this, as I realise that my RSS is changed and many of readers decreased. By the way, in my case, when entire blog is copied (not article, but total plagiarism and legal infringement) the Copyscape tool is not working for me. This is direct exposing the thieves URL and you should know this, on today’s day (if it comes to removals).Do not click on their ad-sense.

Below is the photo I copied from their URL and blog plagiarism with ad-senses on the header. If any legal expert can help in my case, every comment, suggestion and direct help is welcomed.

Let’s talk about science and creativity. Aristotle used it, Nikola Tesla used it, many of you use your brain functions in everyday life, intelectual challenges, creative work, but sometimes not in its fullest or maybe you have experienced the braincramp? Dr Robyn McMaster, from MITA International Brain Based Center who works with Dr. Ellen Weber, besides leading and doing research with “practical brain based tactics that optimize satisfaction and output at work”, is also sharing her insights and tips that stir creativity in business applications. At her science blog, Robyn brings you some ideas that can contribute to questions about certain issues, to increase your creativity and possiblities in your everyday work, and life in general.

Robyn, thanks for the post and I am glad if I made contribution to other folks. This one may inspire. Nice brainstorming!

I have been raised up, among other magazines that have been around me for years, with Wallpaper : international.design.interiors.fashion.travel. Wallpaper* is with me for the whole decade, when I was into architecture, making things, travelling, fashion, design. I was even recognizing both editions – while in London (UK), or while sitting at the Starbucks / bookstore drinking my ice apricot tea with cinnamon cake and reading the latest US edition. I know maybe sounds silly, but every event or emotion happened with Wallpaper*. Then, in Belgrade happened the best interior designed apartments, friends, overseas subscriptions and my deeper interest for design, interiors, and everything that surround us in everyday life, changing/making items, things, my work around apartment, and favourite architects and designers. Now I read Wallpaper* online.

All great magazines shift, shuffle, find space and re-shape to survive and prosper and Wallpaper* is no exception. Changing tastes, and our own success, are clearly mapped in this gallery of our first 100 covers. From the tentative first steps, back in 1996, through confident camp to the audacious experimental leaps that we have undertaken in the last year, Wallpaper* has always dared to bare, break boundaries and, occasionally, bemuse. We’ve still got it covered.

Lot of great covers, these are my three favourites, though it’s hard to choose among the great ones.

I was coping, beside other things, with Serbian journalist (those who live in Serbia know the ‘story’) who interviewed me (or I corrected their mistakes in the preview) on web publishing, science blogs, etc., that I didn’t notice that one of my favourite Scandinavian music group is coming very, very soon to Belgrade. Hallelujah! I wrote about KOOP earlier last year, and some of the colleagues gave me the info and now I checked on the Internet. Really poor information pool in Serbian language, actually there is none of the information I could get but via Compost music records, that they will play at the old town fortress of Kalemegdan, that is (one version) , and the other at TBC (wherever and whatever it is). Compost records announced tour dates, and KOOP will play on 1st of June, 2007, at 20h. I believe it will be on open air concert at Kalemegdan, but if anybody find out the information, write it here. You can listen to Koop Island Blues  here or here.

Very interesting view of time-table development, by Andrew Walkingshaw, of information, communication and science publishing between 2003 and 2019, *from the perspective of an eighteen year old.

Among many installations and projects at Belgrade Design Week , during 8, 9, 10th of May, it was presented at the O3one gallery and Dom Omladine, project SKI LIFT by Jelena Miskovic. SKI LIFT is ready made installation, a custom-made chair lift in a suitable city centre location, introducing a new dimension in off-street transport for pedestrians. A 400m spectacle of riveted steel and cable, the project is both a curious attraction and a serious attempt to reinterpret space, architecture and mobility in the urban environment. Institutions and other artists involved into this project are: Mediamatic Gallery, Gerrit Rietvald Academy, Horse Move Project Space, Salto Amsterdam, as well as creative artist team: Mhairi Macfarlane, Andrew McKee, Marco de Koning, Mark Fos, Milos Djordjevic, Slobodan Mitrovic, Bogomir Doringer, Vladan Jeremic, Ivan Kadelburg.
