The Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) is an international authority file. It is a joint project of several national libraries and operated by the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC). The project was initiated by the German National Library and the US Library of Congress.
The aim is to link the national authority files (such as the German Name Authority File) to a single virtual authority file. In this file, identical records from the different data sets are linked together. A VIAF record receives a standard data number, contains the primary "see" and "see also" records from the original records, and refers to the original authority records. The data are made available online and are available for research and data exchange and sharing. Reciprocal updating uses the Open Archives Initiative protocol.
The file numbers are also being added to Wikipedia biographical articles and are incorporated into Wikidata.
Leo Dillon (March 2, 1933 – May 26, 2012) and Diane Dillon (née Sorber; born March 13, 1933) are/were American illustrators of children's books and adult paperback book and magazine covers. One obituary of Leo called the work of the husband-and-wife team "a seamless amalgam of both their hands". In more than 50 years they created more than 100 speculative fiction book and magazine covers together as well as much interior artwork. Essentially all of their work in that field was joint.
The Dillons won the Caldecott Medal in 1976 and 1977, the only consecutive awards of the premier honor in U.S. picture book illustration. In 1978 they were the highly commended runners-up for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award for children's illustrators; they were the U.S. nominee again in 1996.
Leo Dillon, of Trinidadian immigrant parentage, was born and raised in East New York, and Diane Sorber hails from the Greater Los Angeles Area. Leo enlisted in the Navy for three years' service so that he could attend art school. The couple met at the Parsons School of Design in New York City in 1953 — where they "became instant archrivals and remained together from then on". They graduated in 1956 and married the next year. An association with writer Harlan Ellison led to jobs doing book covers for his short story collections and both cover and interior woodcut illustration for his anthology Dangerous Visions. They illustrated a large number of mass market paperback book covers for the original Ace Science Fiction Specials, for which they won their first major award, science fiction's 1971 Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist. A detailed biography and introduction to their work and styles was written by Byron Preiss in a book he edited in 1981, entitled The Art of Leo & Diane Dillon. They once described their work as incorporating motifs derived from their respective heritages.

Tap Tap was a series of rhythm games by Tapulous available for the iOS of which several versions, both purchasable and free, have been produced. The goal of the game is to tap each of the colored balls when they reach a line at the bottom of the screen. If the ball is hit on the beat, the player gains points, but if not, it counts as a miss. If a player taps the screen without a tapper on the beat, the streak will go back to 0 and a few points will be lost except for 16x. There are also "shakes", which require the player to move the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to the right, left, or backwards. The franchise had over thirty-five million downloads as of July 1, 2010.
To date there are 23 games in the Tap Tap series of games, 18 which are artist-specific. Apps with an import section allows players to import songs and in most cases, themes into Tap Tap Revenge 3. Songs in a shaded box denote a 'boss track'.
The first game in the series, Tap Tap Revenge, was created and developed by Tapulous, a startup company at the time of release. The - Tap Tap Tap, Bunkohead - In My Arms and DJ Mile - Sololuna are the basic tracks in this game

Kids can make a difference... Kids who make the world better will probably grow up into adults who want to do the same thing.
Tumpsky and Mrs. Small read Mother Goose Rhymes. Some are familiar, some are not. The book has a Renaissance feel to it regarding the characters. The funny words will delight your children and you may just hear them repeated yourselves, family.

If kids ran the world, things would be so much more peaceful. Kids would determine the most important needs in our world and would go out and help others. They would bring food to those that are hungry, medicine and cheer to those who are sick and in need of a smile. They would make sure everyone had a safe roof over their head and a great education. School and learning would be fun! There would be religious tolerance to all. Our planet, our Mother Earth, would be treated with care and respect. Forgiveness and generosity are so important, because kids know how to share, and kids definitely understand the power of love. If kids ran the world, it would be a better place for all of us, for grown-ups, too. This video features If Kids Ran the World by Leo and Diane Dillon. *This book was checke...

Product Design: The New Interplay of People, Objects and Information UT School of Information (iSchool) Panel: Dean Andrew Dillon, Diane E. Bailey, Randolph Bias Designing a product well requires knowledge of the user and knowledge of the product-as-object. Advances in communication technology, including computational software, simulation tools and social media, place an increasing wealth of information in the hands of designers about users and objects. The challenge of modern product design is to harness that wealth of information. This talk will cover issues in how to design successfully in an information-rich world by breaking the process into three parts: 1) understanding how users process information in information-rich environments; 2) understanding how we think of objects as they ...
I feel something seizes me
I don´t have the strength to hold on
I don´t know if its worth the strggle
Or if I ougth to give up.
I see the blackshape in front of me...
solumn, distant!
Is tell me...the time has come!
I feel his breath on my face
There´s nothing I can do
Like a tears running down trogh my cheek
And flowing to my mouth
Which make me feel that bitter taste
...The taste death
I´m scared ...yed relieved
Everything ends, there´s no turning back
His cloak surrounds me
To snatch my soul away
All my life passed before mi eyes
There´s nothing beyond
Everything begins to darken
End,suddenly, my life has been taken.
This is my end!
My end!
This is my end!
