This paper is a review of doctoral thesis concerning some of the classical methods for the slope stability analysis and their weakness in terms of static behavior of the slope body. Newly introduced approach to the subject (the method of total ultimate equilibrium), which solves the statically undetermined system involving all three equilibrium equations and achieves better safety factor, is explained in short, as well as other benefits comparing to the classical methods. Finally, possible directions of further method’s development are indicated.

Here are couple of nice interviews with Dries in which he speaks about future of Drupal and Acquia. First one is from cnet, and second is from webmonkey.

Among many nice things here are couple of them I would like to point out:

Mix++ software package implements new technique for the producing of the solid material blending. This new method of production control is based on algorithm that is original achievement of MontenaSoft engineers. You can find more information about the Mix++   (or Stochastic Mixing Optimizer for Solid Materials) here, or by choosing "Mix++ Mixing Optimizer" from the items on "Interesting links” tab on our site.

It seems that Google is trying real hard to round its strategy with mobile telecommunications - and their new toy called Android could start make some real impact. Whatever the next big mobile thing is going to be, it will need an application platform.
