VisualSVN Server offers simple retention policy for the backups made with scheduled jobs. The retention policy helps configure the period of time during which the older backups are stored. By default, the retention period is 30 days. This means that backups will always be preserved for 30 days and will be automatically removed after this period.
Full backup jobs make self-contained full backups. The retention policy for full backups specifies to keep the latest backups for the selected period of time.
Incremental backup is a chain of files that consists of a full backup taken once a week and daily smaller incremental backups. The complete chain of backup files is needed to restore the repository from an incremental backup. The backup retention policy addresses this aspect of incremental backups and the incremental backup chain is never removed unless the latest incremental backup in the chain becomes outdated.
For further information, please read the article KB108: Understanding backup types in VisualSVN Server.
How does the server remove older backups due to retention policy?
VisualSVN Server removes older backups that exceed the retention policy period only after the newer backup was successfully made. As an additional safety measure, VisualSVN Server never removes the latest backup due to a retention policy. This approach guarantees that you will always have the most recent backup available to restore.

I've got to admit, ridiculousness aside, I LIKED what it did to the drum sound in the demo.
Does this mean I think it's going to make Pro Tools sound exactly like a tape machine? No. I'm sure there are people who will buy the hype, but for me, if it makes a neat sound, I'm interested regardless of how they try to market it.

Maybe they could model the A-80's behavior when punching.
Perhaps someday, someone will make a plugin to emulate the "vintage digital" sound of pro tools, complete with spinning beach ball graphic and DAE errors.
I do miss the 3D sound and depth that recording to analog does give you. I've been all digital (capture medium wise) for the last 6 years or so. Anytime I'm working on a mix I'll pull up one of my old mixes done off the 1" 8 track... bums me out every time I hear how 2D digital really is.
I show this to young engineers sometimes when they come in for mastering. I hear the same thing from them over and over, the first thing is always "listen to those drums", "I can hear around them", "I can hear everything so much more easily", "listen to that bass" etc..."
I always say, "look what we gave up for convenience".
That said, I agree that digital can be great and I'm happy with it 99% of the time, that is, until I compare it to what I use to capture in the analog world.
Maybe someday digital will be able to give us all the flaws that made analog sound so good when done right... maybe.
Till then my hunt is back on for an Ampex 1" 8 track... so if any of you know somebody who wants to sell one please let me know. btw, I've located 5 so far (that are never used) but their owners don't want to sell them anyway... I find that very interesting. I think they know just how good that machine was/is!

I'm selling a digital conversion emulator for tape users that can be patched in between the console and tape deck. It doesn't get rid of tape hiss, or artifacts due to poor calibrations, but you get that cool musical sound of low bit rates, band limits, and aliasing. All features are tweakable!

?? flaws sound good?
flaws don't help reproduce sound in a 3D manner as far as I can tell.
I'm hoping that someone makes a solid DSD-system which will outperform tape from the point of view of perceived space and feel.. until then tape is still the reference for me.. and those ampex machines had a nice design.

I generally like aligning tape machines, it was always a zen moment for me - but only if I was there alone before the session. Trying to do it in a room full of people under a time constraint, no fun. Of course, you have to calibrate digital systems too, but I guess we don't talk about that so much and it's not the same.
There are convenient things about tape too - like, when the track is done it's done, no playing a bunch of crap and then editing. And yes, you maybe made a safety, but it wasn't the same as making a backup where the next day you were in a bind because you couldn't find "Snare_57.027.dup." But we all know this.
I used to have a program called SoundEdit 16, sounded completely gritty and I daresay, in a cool way. But only for funking things up, not for "pure" recording.

Aaaaa, that was a kind of "tongue in cheek" reference. Meaning all tape is flawed and so is the reproduction system but it IS part of why we love the sound... hope it makes more sense now.

Q: Call to undefined function curl_file_create() [file handling] I'm trying to upload a file with curl, and in the PHP documentation it says:

To post a file, prepend a filename with @ and use the full path. The filetype can be explicitly specified by following the filename with the type in the format ';type=mimetype'. This parameter can either be passed as a urlencoded string like 'para1=val1&para2=val2&...' or as an array with the field name as key and field data as value. If value is an array, the Content-Type header will be set to multipart/form-data. As of PHP 5.2.0, value must be an array if files are passed to this option with the @ prefix. As of PHP 5.5.0, the @ prefix is deprecated and files can be sent using CURLFile.

So I try using CURLFile instead, whereas I get the error

Call to undefined function curl_file_create()

so - then I try to locate the class CURLFile with
var_dump(class_exists('curlfile'));
But it says that it doesn't.
I wonder - is CURLFile something one has to install manually?
And is it better to use the @path/to/file;type=mime instead, even though it will be deprecated soon enough?
Thank you
To clairy - curl is installed and works. It's only the file-handling mumbo jumbo that doesn't seem to exist on my system.
I don't add any code, cause there is no code to add.
I run curl_file_create() and get the answer that the function doesn't exists, even though curl itself works.

A: PHP must have been compiled with the --with-curl switch for this function to be available.  Check your phpinfo() output to verify what switches your PHP was compiled with.
If you are on Linux then check your distribution's packages as Curl support may be provided by a module instead.  (For example, on Debian one must install the php5-curl package.)

Note that curl_file_create() was added in PHP 5.5.0.  If your PHP installation is older, it will not support this function.

A: I do not use "curl_file_create" and "CurlFile", I prefer to use "@/file_name_with_full_path".
See the reference links and use these other methods for file upload via POST method via CURL via PHP.
Send a file via post with curl and PHP

A: if you are using xampp or wamp than you have to update php.ini file to enable curl because apache has separate php.ini file in its folder which it uses.the web server php.ini file is different from the php.ini in php installation folder.

'Game of Thrones' breaks record with 32 Emmy nominations
The divisive final season of "Game of Thrones" has set a new record by earning 32 nominations for the 2019 Emmys, the most ever for a single season of a show.


Chang Tzu from 52 #25.
Egg Fu is a fictional supervillain appearing in DC Comics publications and related media, commonly as an adversary for the superheroine Wonder Woman.
Most frequently represented as an enormous sentient egg (and often, inexplicably, of Chinese descent), he was created by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru where he first appeared in Wonder Woman #157. Over the years, multiple versions of the character have appeared with varying backstories and alternative names (including Egg Fu the Fifth, Chang Tzu, and Dr. Yes) to battle not only Wonder Woman, but also the Metal Men, Checkmate and Harley Quinn.
In early appearances, the character was a Yellow Peril ethnic stereotype, complete with caricaturish Asian facial features and dialogue written in a phoneticized Chinese accent. His name is an obvious play on the name of a Chinese ethnic dish, egg foo young. Certain 21st-century updates, such as changing his name to Chang Tzu and affiliating him with DC Comics' Chinese superhero team the Great Ten, maintain his Asian ethnicity while striving to de-emphasize problematic aspects of his historically racialized characterization. Appearances in Harley Quinn in 2014 and Harley Quinn and Power Girl in 2015, though restoring the name Egg Fu, have expunged overt associations with Chinese culture and language.
Egg Fu debuted in Wonder Woman #157 (Oct. 1965). He was a Chinese Communist agent, perplexingly shaped like an egg the size of a house, with a Charlie Chan-like speech pattern, who used his mustaches as whips against his enemies. In Egg Fu's first appearance, Steve Trevor is captured by the Chinese mastermind and turned into a human bomb. Egg Fu then launches Steve and a doomsday missile at the American fleet. Wonder Woman intercepts Steve, who has become a deadly menace. She is unable to save him, but she redirects his path into the enemy missile. The explosion destroys the missile, Steve, and Wonder Woman herself, but the fleet is saved. Informed of her daughter's demise, Queen Hippolyta gathers the remains of Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor and returns them to a laboratory on Paradise Island. Using an atomic structure reassembly beam, she restores Steve and her daughter. However, Steve's body is still infused with explosive energy. Wonder Woman finds that her own body has also become explosive, making them both a danger to the world. They leave Paradise Island. Wonder Woman plans to use the explosive power against Egg Fu. The Chinese leader sends his troops against her, but they fail in their task to overcome her. A piece of anti-matter removes the explosive matter from Steve and Wonder Woman, then the Amazon defeats Egg Fu.
Egg Fu the Fifth, a relative of the original Egg Fu, debuted in Wonder Woman #166 (November 1966).
Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor investigate the disappearance of an American submarine. While flying over the ocean where it disappeared, Wonder Woman's plane is fired upon by an enemy freighter. Steve boards the ship, then disappears too.
Wonder Woman's plane is drawn underwater into a giant seashell. Frogmen attack her and take her prisoner. She is brought to a secret base controlled by Egg Fu the Fifth. Held prisoner by her own magic lasso, Wonder Woman offers to dance for Egg Fu. She then performs a bracelet-clashing dance which cracks Egg Fu and allows her to escape and rescue the stolen submarine.
Dr. Yes (a reference to Dr. No), Egg Fu's robot twin, appears in Metal Men #20 (June/July 1966).[original research?] In the story, he uses a giant robot to capture Will Magnus, thereby luring the Metal Men to his base where he brainwashes them, believing that "when the Amelicans see how these gleat heroes of theirs have turned tlaitors-- they will doubt anyone's stlength to lesist us!"
The giant robot takes the Metal Men to a football stadium that is celebrating "I am an American Day". Fighting the urge to say "Down with America!" in front of everyone, the Metal Men self-destruct instead. An angry Dr. Yes tries having the giant robot destroy the crowd instead, but the various pieces of the Metal Men attack and destroy the robot, freeing Magnus who had been trapped inside. Afterwards, Magnus rebuilds the superhero team. Dr. Yes is still at large at the story's end.
Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, a new version of Egg Fu was introduced in Wonder Woman vol. 2, #128 (December 1997). This Egg Fu is a nineteenth-century super-computer, recently rediscovered and turned into one of many carnival attractions along Gateway City's Oceanside boardwalk, despite public protests that the attraction is racially insensitive.
Egg Fu is actually a product of Apokoliptian technology created from a device Scott Free accidentally left behind on a visit to Earth. Once activated, it begins dominating people's minds and preparing them for transport to Apokolips. Egg Fu is defeated by Hippolyta (at the time acting as Diana's successor as Wonder Woman), Donna Troy, Artemis and Wonder Girl. An associate of Mister Miracle, Metron, removes it.
Following the events of Infinite Crisis, a new version of Egg Fu appears, calling himself Chang Tzu (likely a reference to Chuang Tzu, or possibly Sun Tzu.), an agent of Apokolips.
Chang Tzu (Chung Zhu) is the mastermind, along with Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim, behind the kidnappings of many mad scientists in the comic book series 52. They are forcibly recruited into Chang's "Science Squad" based on Oolong Island. Chang has a large, egg-shaped body with facial features and cracked skin, mounted in a spider-legged chair for mobility. He is equipped with small prosthetic hands that allow him to manipulate items and equipment; he is also armed with hidden weaponry.
Shortly after Black Adam escapes confinement on Oolong Island, Chang Tzu is shot apart by one of his kidnapped scientists, Dr. Will Magnus. Magnus claims to be acting irrationally due to a lack of medication. A new, smouldering egg was seen hidden in Chang's shattered remains. When he later reappears and is asked about his seeming destruction, he explains, "My third incubation ended four months ago."
"Never in my wildest dreams... did I imagine I would meet a creature I pitied more than myself."
As revealed to Alan Scott by Thundermind, Chang Tzu and his Science Squad are members of the Great Ten that provide, among other things, the funds to operate the organization and the technology they use.
His name is unclear as it has been inconsistently presented; he is introduced as Chang Tzu, but is subsequently referred to as both Chung Zhu and Chung Tzu. It may be possible that he has multiple names; Chang himself explains that "Egg Fu" is one of his "Nine thousand and nine unmentionable names", and immediately kills a guard who laughs at his mention of it.
Chang Tzu reappeared in a short story published in Wonder Woman #600, where he was defeated by Wonder Woman, Power Girl, and Batgirl.
In the New 52, Egg Fu appeared in Harley Quinn Annual #1. In the comic, he is Edgar Fullerton Yeung, a giant egg scientist who is secretly experimenting on Poison Ivy at Arkham Asylum. However, he ends up reforming with the help of Harley Quinn and gets himself a job.
Egg Fu appears throughout the DC Rebirth iteration of the Harley Quinn series.
Chang Tzu appears in DC Universe Online. He appears in the Oolong Island group combat alert where he is the final boss.
Chang Tzu appears as a playable character in Lego DC Super Villains.
Egg Fu appears in issue #16 of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold comic book. In this continuity, he is a demonic entity known as Y'ggphu-Soggoth, and is summoned by Egghead to cause havoc only to end up fighting Batman and Wonder Woman.

I observe myself, living within systems, some of which are undesirable. Struggling to find meaning in this situation, my composed systems offer analogies to alternative versions of ourselves – societies we don't yet recognize. Perhaps these are the societies we could desire. Traces left by composition might be taken as their artifacts. I am motivated to create processes, leaving traces I don't yet recognize. Beyond their mere existence, these marks invite witnesses to discover and invent the meaning they have in the context of the processes that left them. I use the computer, not because of its facility at manipulating materials, but rather as an environment for stipulating systems. I am interested in systems that organize materials at every scale – from the microscopic to the global. Local patterns relate to gestures that form large scale structure. Rather than make the patterns I want, patterns emerge from the systems I want.

UI nabs $1.25 million NASA award to conceptualize mission studying magnetic fields of Earth, sun
UI's proposal is one of five in competition for $165 million in NASA funding

A team led by University of Iowa physicist Craig Kletzing has won $1.25 million from NASA to conceptualize a potential mission to study the mysterious, powerful interactions between the magnetic fields of the sun and Earth.
Kletzing's team will vie with four others for $165 million in funding to explore how the sun affects space and the space environment around planets under NASA's Explorers Program. At least one of the proposals is expected to be chosen in 2019. The current award is for Kletzing's team to develop a complete proposal for the Explorers Program mission.
"What we are studying and producing is a report that shows that we can actually implement the mission," Kletzing says. "That is, that we can build the instruments, spacecraft, and get a launch for the money—and that we know how to manage everything to make it happen on time and within the cost cap."
Should Kletzing's team be selected for the $165 million grant, it would be the largest single grant ever awarded to researchers at the UI.
NASA is keen to study these magnetic interactions because of their effects on Earth. If it weren't for the magnetic bubble surrounding our planet, the sun's supersonic, heated winds would inflict doses of harmful radiation that would affect most, if not all, life. The Earth's magnetic field, with help from its atmosphere, wards off most of the sun's harmful energy.

But the solar wind does find some ways to reach the Earth, through openings created when the Earth's and sun's magnetic fields touch. When these holes are sustained, the solar wind pours through in events called cusps. When these cusps occur, scientists can study particles in the solar wind much closer to Earth.
Cusps create an uninterrupted path leading from our planet to the sun's atmosphere 93 million miles away. Research by Jack Scudder, professor in the UI Department of Physics and Astronomy, suggests that these magnetic openings happen dozens of times each day. Most are small and short-lived, but some are vast and sustained, which can lead to disruptions on Earth.
The energy coming from these magnetic interactions creates effects that can be mesmerizing—particularly auroras, which are also known as the northern and southern lights. But it also can be harmful, disrupting communication from satellites and other forms of communication around and on Earth.
"We use space a lot," says Kletzing, F. Wendell Miller Professor in the physics and astronomy department and the lead on the UI's grant, called Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS). "We want to understand how this chain of events works because it is important for modern technological society."
Two particularly hazardous incidents were twin events in 2003 called the Halloween Storms, which triggered auroras that could be seen as far south as Texas. But the phenomena also interfered with GPS signals and radio communications, and caused the Federal Aviation Administration to issue its first-ever warning to airlines to avoid excess radiation by flying at low altitudes.
Currently, NASA has a mission, called MMS, in which four spacecraft are swooping around Earth's magnetosphere, searching for the magnetic openings and observing them when they occur.
The UI's TRACERS mission would complement MMS by studying the magnetic effects closer to Earth, where the openings that occurred further out in space ripple through.
"We're looking at what comes out of the bottom end (of the opening) whenever magnetic reconnection happens," Kletzing says.
Kletzing is also the principal investigator on a separate mission, TRICE-2, in which twin, almost identically instrumented rockets will be launched within minutes of each other when there's evidence that a magnetic reconnection has occurred—easier said than done because scientists can't predict when, or where, they will occur.
"It'll be a bit of a nail-biter, for sure," Kletzing says.

6 Saturn secrets revealed
A list of the top findings from an Iowa instrument on NASA's Cassini mission


Western society lives with a strange legacy born out of the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution: we have come to believe in the idea of the solitary genius and to believe that only those who fit that category a deserving of success and admiration.
Consider, for instance, the strange popularity contest the American presidential election has become. We invest such hope into our chosen candidates, as if we were electing a monarch or a dictator rather than a chief executive working for a board of 200 million shareholders. And, we are always disappointed in the person we have chosen because, being human, that person could never have lived up to the expectations we had.
Now, I am not suggesting that anyone should give up on the idea of excellence, but even the most excellent among us can only exist as one of us. No one has ever succeeded alone, nor will anyone.
To me, what remains is that we must do two things. First, we must figure out where we fit into the complex web of interactions and relationships we call life. Then, we must figure out how to fit into that place in the most excellent way.
If we succeed, then we will have done more than most have ever done.

National Semifinal: (1) Louisville 72 – (9) Wichita State 68
ATLANTA, GA – Trailing by a dozen points in the second half, the top-overall seed in this year's NCAA Tournament field never panicked. Instead, Louisville methodically took their play to another level, and had just enough firepower to outlast a Wichita State team which proved once and for all that they belong amongst the elite in the nation.
The Cardinals are one win away from the third National Championship in school history – and first since 1986 – after a hard-fought, 72-68 victory over Wichita State. After the Shockers built a 47-35 lead, Louisville's season may have been rescued by a little-known walk-on. Junior guard Tim Henderson, who scored a grand total of 16 points all season, hit back-to-back three-pointers to cut the Wichita State lead to just six points, at 47-41, and seize momentum for the Cardinals. From there, Louisville was able to implement its full-court pressure defense in the latter stages of the second half on a more consistent basis, and were finally able to wipe out the entire deficit when Luke Hancock hit a three-pointer with 6:31 remaining to give the Cardinals a 56-55 lead.
But the Shockers refused to back down, and trailed 71-68 when Hancock missed a free throw with six seconds left to give the Shockers one last chance to tie the game and force overtime. But after Ron Baker came down with the rebound, he was tied up by Hancock and a jump-ball was called, giving the ball back to the Cardinals. Replays showed that Louisville may have benefitted from a quick whistle on the tie-up call, and also showed that Hancock may have even fouled Baker. But the Cardinals caught the huge break, and after Russ Smith made his first free throw following a Wichita State foul, it essentially secured a Louisville victory.
Wichita State could not have asked for a better start, as the Shockers jumped out to an 8-0 lead with the Louisville offense in total disarray in the early going. But even though the Cardinals inevitably found their flow, the Shockers still owned a 26-25 halftime lead, and were 20 minutes away from becoming the first Missouri Valley Conference team to advance to the National Championship game in 34 years, after Larry Bird led Indiana State in 1979. But the Cardinals responded like the champions many project them to be come Monday night, as they demonstrated the mettle and toughness to fight back from a double-digit deficit, similar to what they accomplished against Syracuse in the Big East Tournament finals. The Cardinals will now battle Michigan on Monday night, with college basketball's biggest prize hanging in the balance.
With injured guard Kevin Ware cheering them on from the bench in his #5 jersey, the Cardinals were led by Russ Smith's 21 points, though he shot only 6-for-17 from the field. It was Hancock, though, who shined brightest for Rick Pitino's troops, coming through with 20 points off the bench, shooting 3-for-5 from beyond the arc. Their production was enough to overcome a rare, off-game from Peyton Siva, who scored only seven points on 1-for-9 shooting. Cleanthony Early led Wichita State with a game-high 24 points, with Carl Hall and Ron Baker adding 13 and 11 points, respectively. Though the Shockers turned the ball over only 10 times against Louisville's relentless defense, their bench was outscored by Louisville 34-9, which ultimately led to the Shockers' undoing.
Louisville improved to 3-7 all-time in the National Semifinals. Their previous two victories ultimately led to the school's two National Championships, in 1980 and 1986. The Cardinals are hoping that trend continues on Monday night.

With any paint job, the quality of the final finish is directly proportional to the quality of surface preparation done prior to painting. Surfaces must be sanded to a smooth finish and all holes, dings, gaps, etc. must be filled with the appropriate material and sanded smooth. Wooden surfaces must be covered with fiberglass or some form of covering such as nylon, silk, polyester fabric covering etc. and sealed with epoxy resin or dope. Failure to do so may cause the wood to expand or warp, and possibly split along the wood grains due to the water present within the paints. All fiberglass and molded plastic parts should be sanded lightly using a fine-grit sandpaper and washed and wiped clean prior to painting to remove any parting agents and surface residues, and provide a clean bonding surface for the paints. WarbirdColors primers and paints can be applied using either brush or spray equipment. Regardless of the method used, the following guidelines should be followed.
WarbirdColors primers and paints are high-solid, high pigment content coatings. These solids and pigments will settle in the can over time. These solids MUST be mixed prior to painting. It is recommended that WarbirdColors Primers and paints be stirred (as opposed to shaken) to thoroughly mix the solids and pigments prior to any other steps in the painting process.
Because of the high solids and pigment content of Warbirdcolors, heavy coats are not recommended. Multiple light coats are recommended, with the last coat being "wet" to provide the optimal finish. Due to the pigment and solids content of these coatings it is recommended that they be thinned, using water, before application. In most cases, WarbirdColors primers and paints should be thinned approximately 10% prior to application. This will vary depending upon the method used (brushed or sprayed), as well as the type of equipment utilized for the application. Conventional spray systems will typically require more thinning than the newer HVLP (High Volume-Low Pressure) systems. Using the newer HVLP systems, it may be necessary to thin as much as 20% before use, while a typical airbrush system using the large tip may require as much as 20-30% thinning. Before painting your model, it is suggested that a sample or test object be painted first to insure the proper viscosity for the equipment being used. Warbirdcolors is made using three different "bases", each of which contain differing quantities of titanium dioxide, thus different viscosities. The color to be produced determines which base is used, thus different colors will be different thicknesses "in the can". "PLAY WIT IT" Depending upon the color, and your equipment, thinning may not be required.
After painting, clean-up should be done quickly, within 30 minutes, using water. If allowed to completely dry, it may be necessary to use an additional solvent, such as toluene, MEK, acetone, etc., to clean-up.
BE ADVISED… Solvents like toluene, acetone, MEK (Methyl Ethyl Keytone), and others will dissolve Warbirdcolors even if it has been dry "forever". So be careful when cleaning with solvents.

Driver Monitoring Systems Shipments Will Jump 487.5% Between 2022 and 2027
According to global technology intelligence firm ABI Research, shipments of vehicles featuring camera-based Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) will jump from 8 million in 2022 to 47 million in 2027, more than 50% of global new vehicle sales. These systems offer reliable real-time driver distraction monitoring as means to prevent accidents. While mainly driven by regulation, they also enable a range of infotainment-related features that will provide carmakers with the opportunity to recoup their investments.
Because DMS will become mandated, carmakers, especially in the mass market, were initially interested in deploying the minimal EU General Safety Regulation (GSR) requirements. However, standard mandated ADAS features drive an additional cost into the vehicle that OEMs cannot quickly or easily recuperate. "Hence, envisioning additional use cases that use the available sensor technology has become imperative. With the realization that monetization opportunities could be realized with the same DMS hardware and minor incremental software investment, most carmakers' DMS RFQs now request two to three features beyond driver attention monitoring," explains Maite Bezerra, Smart Mobility & Automotive Industry Analyst at ABI Research.
DMS safety-related detection capabilities include drowsiness, distraction, seatbelt use, smoking, and phone use. However, DMS can also support several convenience features. For example, the driver's head position and gaze direction input can enable Augmented Reality (AR) head-up displays and 3D dashboards to provide information about Points of Interest (e.g., Mercedes' MBUX Travel Knowledge) or to highlight or tone down information in the cockpit, decreasing energy consumption in EVs. Advanced cognitive load detection capabilities can be used by personal assistants to measure the driver's stress level, mood, or health and make suggestions or take actions accordingly. Examples include Cerence Co-Pilot, NVIDIA Concierge, and NIO's NOMI. "There is also interest in using the driver's medical status, such as heart and respiration rates, to determine stress level and medical condition after accidents," Bezerra points out.
Expanding the DMS scope to Occupant Monitoring Systems (OMSs) within the same camera is another clear trend due to the broad range of monetizable use cases enabled by camera-based OMSs. According to Bezerra, "OMSs primary use case is detecting children or pets left behind, but input can be used to enhance passenger safety and convenience. For example, the camera can detect incorrect use of seatbelts, and the occupant's position in the car can be used to regulate airbag deployment more effectively. Regarding convenience, the camera can be used for selfies, video conferences, remote vehicle motoring, and multi-user in-cabin and media content customization." ABI Research forecasts that nearly 10 million vehicles will be shipped with single-camera DMS and OMS, offered by companies including Seeing Machines, Cipia, Tobii, and Jungo, in 2028.
"Moving forward, DMS and OMS will be critical sensors enabling next-generation automotive HMI and UX. Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), multimodal input and output channels, and unprecedented integration with vehicle sensors, domains, location data, and other IoT devices will be combined to provide an intuitive, humanized, and seamless in-car user experience," Bezerra concludes.
These findings are from ABI Research's Next-Generation Automotive HMI application analysis report. This report is part of the company's Smart Mobility & Automotive research service, which includes research, data, and ABI Insights. Based on extensive primary interviews, Application Analysis reports present an in-depth analysis of key market trends and factors for a specific technology.

Liverpool were one of two clubs chasing the signature of Dynamo Moscow winger Balazs Dzsudzsak during the January transfer window, claims the player's agent.
It seems the Hungary international was in demand last month as Italian giants Internazionale were also keen to tie up a deal for the winger who only joined Dynamo Moscow just over one year ago from Anzhi Makhachkala.
The 26-year-old has scored four goals in his 17 league appearances this season which seemingly caught the attention of Liverpool and Inter who were both believed to have tried to land the winger in January.
Sky Sports believes that Liverpool attempted to bring Dzsudzsak to Anfield on loan for the rest of the season, while Inter attempted to land him on a permanent deal but his agent, Jozsef Voroshbani, revealed that both approaches were turned down.
"Inter, along with Liverpool, wanted to see Balazs in their squad. The Italians were ready to sign Dzsudzsak, but Dynamo wouldn't let go of the player," said Voroshbani.
"My client really likes it in Moscow, but he has a desire to try his hand in one of the top European leagues. I hope that in the summer, Dynamo will look at any details that arrive in a proposal for the player."
If the winger's agent is to be believed then Liverpool may well look to once again compete for the player in the summer as Brendan Rodgers is short of options in wide areas.
Stewart Downing has played regularly, despite being put on the transfer list, while Raheem Sterling is the only other wide player to feature regularly this season.
Dzsudzsak clearly has some pedigree having previously excelled in Holland where he won the league title back in 2008 with PSV Eindhoven. On three occasions he reached double figures in the league before being snapped up by Anzhi in the summer of 2011.


The Agricultural Correspondent has been wheeled out again. Just as we get to an exciting bit in the storyline – has Helen Archer finally seen through Rotten Rob? – we are kept on tenterhooks by some bit of farming nonsense. So Tony and David Archer mooch around the cattle market discussing the merits of buying organic suckler cows and we are made to wait for the resolution of the TunaGate affair.
What's good enough for The Archers is good enough for you lot. So before I tell you what was in the letter from Hammersmith Hospital, I'm going to share some gardening news. If by any chance you didn't read Wednesday's blog – number eighty eight – now would be a good time to nip off and do so; otherwise what follows will make no sense. We'll wait for you by discussing fencing.
I really wanted to get the fences sorted out this half-term. It started out well: ivy cut down and then a brilliant morning spent playing with LittleBro's power-washer. All that remained was to choose a colour and paint the fence.
I've now tried out five different fence colours and am still undecided. The whole exercise would have been made so much easier – and cheaper – if the colour of the paint in the tin actually resembled either the colour on the label or the colour on the example lump of wood in B and Q. Or, preferably, both.
So here's my suggestion: that fence paint is, by law, actually called something which truly gives you an idea as to the colour. For example, my first attempt could be more accurately called 'Last night's Vindaloo'. At the moment, I'm trying to choose between 'Constipated Toddler' and 'New-Born's Nappy.' Just a thought.
The letter from the Hammersmith Hospital told me that I was actually on the proper drug in the trial, not a placebo. What's more, I was on the higher dosage.
The letter went on to give headlines for the results of the trial. It appears that the drug does remove excess iron from the Parkie brain – tick. It doesn't appear to have worrying side-effects – tick. And there is no indication that it affects the progress of Parkinson's adversely – tick. All extremely promising.
So, as I mentioned in my last blog, it is possible that the fact that my Parkinson's seems to be treading water is to some extent due to having taken this drug. Just my hypothesis. But surely worth an investigation?
The next step is that the results will be properly written up and presented to the scientific community for peer review and analysis. In the meantime – and here's the rub – the team are still trying to find funding to take the trial forward to the next stage – a more extensive study over two years. Even with all those ticks, the trial may just grind to a halt through lack of money.
Fact is, there are a number of very promising research projects into Parkinson's. Treatments which can delay progress or even turn out to be a cure are there, just round the corner, seen through a glass, darkly. It seems that all that is needed – all that is needed – is enough money to deliver and Parkinson's can be cured. But the two Parkinson's charities just can't fund it all and there isn't enough Government money.
Perhaps it is a credibility thing.
Actor Laddie is currently preparing a Talking Book for the RNIB – a collection of the Queen Mum's letters, gawd bless 'er. He read me a passage yesterday when, as Duchess of York, she visited what is now the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability. Except then, it was called the Royal Hospital and Home for Incurables.
Parkinson's can be cured. Think of the misery this will avert! Think of the money saved in drugs and in care! Why isn't this big news? Shall we take our shakes to the barricades?
I'll answer that question shortly. But first, can I just remind pregnant women not to go into lambing sheds.
The Ramblings program interviewing Tom Isaacs can be caught here.
There is also an appeal for the The Cure Parkinson's Trust on Radio 4 coming up on Sunday 23rd Feb at 7.55 a.m. Details are here.
So hopeful yet so frustrating. I'm always looking but I hear little in the news about Parkinson's research. The last time was when Billy Connolly 'came out'.
That's exciting news that you were actually on the drug. Any news on Helen Archer? You know I'm a part time listener.


How old is to old to go trick or treating???
How old is to old to go trick or treating?
What do you do if the kid is in your opinion to old?
I didnt know you were ever too old!
The Shimer College students here in town would be Trick-or-Treating next to us, I thought it was neat since they were behaved and had some neat minimal costumes.
No costume = no treat.
As I remember it they would sometimes all be singing and putting on sort of a show for their candy. Not a mean show just entertaining.
It was a liberal arts college.
Maybe this made a difference?
Oh i think there is no age limit for trick or treating! I mean i go trick or treating with my nephew all the time! Sure i get a few dissaproving stare but they can...go jump in a hole and die ((in a nice way!)) because i love halloween and everything about it! Including trick or treating.
In general, I think if you are younger than a teenager, then trick or treat, older than that, then its probably time to have a costume party at Mom and Dad's place instead.
However, that choice should be up to the family treat or treating, not the people giving away the candy. Comments should not be made.
I am 6'5" tall, my wife if 5'9", my 11 year old daughter is almost 5'11" tall. She went trick or treating with her younger siblings and several old hags made comments about her being too old. What a nice thing to say to a young lady taking her siblings around the neighborhood. When she got back out to the road and told me what happened I started up the driveway, all I got out was she's only 11 you old before my wife's fingernails caught up to my arm.
I think 71 is the last year its normal to go at 72 you just look weird out there.
Of course the heart-filled answer that everyone wants to hear is: "Ya see Timmy, as long as you keep Halloween inside your heart and believe in the spirit of the holiday you will never be too old to enjoy the fruits of its beauty." Of course many of us know that this is not the case. However, it is not without its own rewards. The process itself is just like maturing in real-life. And with maturing, our purpose changes from going house to house, to becoming the house. In that respect we don the responsibility of becoming the suppliers.
In turn when we felt the excitement of approaching the cob-web and black-lit drenched houses and the surprise of the skeleton man hiding in the bushes with his bowl of endless candy, we now create those feelings of excitement for the rest of the world.
Or just wear a mask that conceals your face entirely and try to speak as little as possible, and punch the vendor in the face, take the bowl of candy, and run.
Goblins, Ghoulies, Creatures and Frights, We summon you now, to dance through the night!
if your dead, your too old for trick or treating.
I really don't understand people who give a hard time to older trick-or-treaters. If you're generous enough to participate in giving out treats on Halloween, why would you suddenly become a Halloween Scrooge by being mean to older trick-or-treaters?!? As long as they're in costume, and are being polite, what is the big problem?!? Especially when it's older teens... I mean, think of the other things they could be out doing (which I won't even list here), but instead they're choosing to participate in a happy, harmless community tradition. In what way is this an offense to someone?!? Are the extra 5 or 10 pieces of candy someone might give out to older trick-or-treaters over the course of the night really going to break the bank?? I just don't get it.
I also sympathize with a previous poster who wrote about his tall (but only 11 year old) daughter getting hassled. Having been over 6 foot tall while still in elementary school, I can totally relate. How do you know how old someone in a costume is, just because they're tall?! You don't.
I say if a trick-or-treater is in costume, and being polite, toss them some candy! If you're going to be cool by participating in giving out treats on Halloween, don't undo your coolness with ageism.

LOL, that is just too darn funny! I'll agree with ya though.
When she got back out to the road and told me what happened I started up the driveway, all I got out was she's only 11 you old before my wife's fingernails caught up to my arm.
That part is amusing, although I'm sure it didn't feel so good Sorry that your daughter had to go through that. People can be so ignorant... I'd be a bit irked, too.
I really don't think that anyone is ever too old to TOT if they so choose, as long as they are respectful.
I agree with everyone else, you can never be too old! Though I may skimp a bit on the candy if the costume is crappy or unoriginal. Or god forbid, street clothes!
If the person is older and has a good or original costume, Ill give them more than the little kids to be honest.


On a gray September morning, a group of us visited the Big Nickel and Dynamic Earth in Sudbury. The Big Nickel, Sudbury's most famous landmark, is a must see - after all, mining of nickel and other minerals are what built the city and the region. Dynamic Earth, a museum that explains the history of mining in the region, is located next to the Big Nickel. A tour seven stories down into the mine shows the different methods of mining over a long period of time.

NTSB Releases Details in 2 Crashes Involving Tesla Autopilot
Tesla says Autopilot is intended to be used for driver assistance and that drivers must be ready to intervene at all times.
Olga R. RodriguezTom Krisher
In this March 23, 2018, file photo provided by KTVU, emergency personnel work a the scene where a Tesla electric SUV crashed into a barrier on U.S. Highway 101 in Mountain View, Calif.
KTVU-TV via AP, File
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An Apple engineer who died when his Tesla Model X slammed into a concrete barrier had previously complained about the SUV malfunctioning on that same stretch of Silicon Valley freeway. His complaints were detailed in a trove of documents released Tuesday by federal investigators in two Tesla crashes involving Autopilot, one in California and the other in Florida.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the March 2018 crash that killed Walter Huang near Mountain View, California. It's also probing a crash in Delray Beach, Florida, that happened about a year later and killed driver Jeremy Banner. The documents say Huang told his wife that Autopilot had previously veered his SUV toward the same barrier on U.S. 101 near Mountain View where he later crashed. Huang died at a hospital from his injuries.
"Walter said the car would veer toward the barrier in the mornings when he went to work," the Huang family's attorney wrote in a response to NTSB questions.
Records from an iPhone recovered from the crash site showed that Huang may have been using it before the accident. Records obtained from AT&T showed that data had been used while the vehicle was in motion, but the source of the transmissions couldn't be determined, the NTSB wrote. One transmission was less than a minute before the crash.
Huang had described Autopilot's previous malfunctioning to his brother, the Huang family attorney wrote, in addition to talking with a friend who owns a Model X. Huang, a software engineer, discussed with the friend how a patch to the Autopilot software affected its performance and made the Model X veer, according to the attorney.
The Huang family is suing Tesla and California's Department of Transportation for allegedly failing to maintain the highway.
Autopilot is a partially automated system designed to keep a vehicle in its lane and keep a safe distance from vehicles in front of it. It also can change lanes with driver approval. Tesla says Autopilot is intended to be used for driver assistance and that drivers must be ready to intervene at all times.
The full NTSB board is scheduled to hold a hearing on the Mountain View crash on Feb. 25. At that time, it will determine a cause and make safety recommendations. NTSB staff members have already recommended that California transportation officials move faster to repair highway safety barriers damaged by vehicles.
A report from the agency says California officials failed to fix the barrier that was damaged in a crash 11 days before Huang was killed. In that incident, a 2010 Toyota Prius traveling over 75 mph crashed against the attenuator, a cushion that protects vehicles from hitting the end of concrete lane dividers.
The California Highway Patrol responded to the March 12 crash but did not notify the state Department of Transportation of the damage as required, the NTSB said.
Huang's 2017 Tesla Model X was traveling at 71 mph when it crashed against the same attenuator, which the NTSB determined had been damaged and repaired more frequently than any other left-exit in Caltrans' District 4, which includes all of the San Francisco Bay Area.
In the three years before the Tesla crash, the device was struck at least five times, including one crash that resulted in fatalities. A car struck it again on May 20, 2018, about two months after the Tesla crash, the NTSB said. NTSB first released some details from its investigation in September.
The California Department of Transportation said in a statement Tuesday that it has "identified and is implementing several steps to enhance monitoring and tracking of the repair of damage" to highway infrastructure.
"These efforts include updates to its policies and maintenance manual, training of staff, and enhanced reporting on the timely repair of high priority traffic safety devices," Caltrans said.
In the Florida crash, Banner turned on the Autopilot function of his Model 3 sedan 10 seconds before the crash, then took his hands off the steering wheel, NTSB documents said. The car then drove underneath a tractor-trailer that was crossing in front of it, sheering off the car's roof and killing Banner. It was eerily similar to another Florida crash in 2016 in which a Tesla on Autopilot went beneath a semi trailer.
The NTSB said in a preliminary report that it still hasn't determined the cause of the crash. According to the report, traffic was light on the four-lane highway and dawn was breaking when Banner, 50, set his speed at 69 mph and activated the autopilot as he headed to work. The speed limit was 55 mph. Seconds later, a tractor-trailer driven by Richard Wood, 45, pulled from a driveway and began to cross to the other side of the highway.
Wood said he saw two sets of car headlights coming toward him, but he thought he had time to make it across. "It was dark and it looked like the cars was back further than they was," Wood told NTSB investigators four days after the crash.
A photo taken by the NTSB from Tesla's front-end video camera showed Wood's trailer fully blocking the road 1.5 seconds before the crash. Data from the Tesla's computer shows that Banner hit his brakes less than a second before the crash, but the car went under the trailer. Wood says he saw a second car but it didn't hit the trailer.

Junior debater to compete in South Africa
By Mariel Brunman
Elle Wilson '13 will travel to Cape Town, South Africa for 10 days in January to represent Team USA and compete in the World Championships of Debate.
"It is such an amazing opportunity to be able to go to a competition like this," Wilson said. "I am so excited to meet all of the other debaters from other countries, and to visit South Africa, which seems like an incredible place."
It took Wilson several years to get to the level she competes at today.
In seventh grade, Wilson competed on the middle school debate team and, in eighth grade, she competed in the middle school national debate competition. At the event, spokesmen for the U.S. National Debate Team were giving out information and recruiting members.
In 10th grade, Wilson joined Team USA as a member of the Development Program, a program to acclimate debaters to the intensity of international competition.
Her first international tournament was in New Zealand.
This summer Wilson auditioned for the World Championships debate team.
After the preliminary auditions, finalists were asked to re-audition for the team and were notified later in the summer if they had received a spot.
A third round of auditions took place to select the team that would represent the United States in South Africa.
Members practice face-to-face throughout the year at workshops held for members on all levels of Team USA. However, as debaters from Team USA live across the country, preparation for tournaments takes place via email, phone or Skype.
Half of the topics that will be debated at the championships will be announced a month in advance, while the second half of the debates topics are and announced immediately before each the round.
"I haven't been to a competition of this level before, so I am a little nervous to see what it will be like," Wilson said. "There will be so many incredible debaters in South Africa this year, but it is also very exciting to have the opportunity to compete against them."

Q: adding a startup script on a server I am logged into my server as root and tried to run this command:
# update-rc.d -f tk10xbooting.sh default 5

Here tk10xbooting.sh is a script I want to run at every sever restart. But when I run it, the result is output like this :
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
       update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | SS KK]
       update-rc.d [-n] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] .
       update-rc.d [-n] <basename> disable|enable [S|2|3|4|5]
        -n: not really
        -f: force

The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future.

Any idea what's happening?

A: The syntax of updte-rc.d (according to the output you gave) is different than you provide:

*

*you use default which should have been defaults

*-f is only used for the remove command

*you might need to use 05 instead of 5 as the syntax tells that it should be NN (but it might work as 5, I do not know)

Moran's Centra Strand Road, Derry
A £2m refurbishment expanding its food-to-go offer has reimagined the Moran's Group site as a destination store, Donna Moran tells Niamh Wallace
Donna and John Moran, the owners of Centra Strand Road, created excitement in their community in 1997 when they brought a deli-counter to Derry/Londonderry. And they have rereated this sense of excitement through a £2m refurbishment of the store, re-opened in April with an extensive selection of food to go on offer to their returning customers.
Strand Road Centra was once known for being a reliable local petrol station. However, the refurbishment – in partnership with the Centra team – has allowed Moran's to further diversify their store.
The refurbishment has allowed their food-to-go service to go beyond breakfast rolls, serving chopped salads, ice cream and boasting a new state-of-the-art burrito bar. Customers are spoiled for choice in the new and improved Moran's, bringing an enhanced taste experience to the local community.
"We want to make Centra Strand Road a destination store," says Donna Moran. "Our customers mainly reach us by car and we want to expand our catchment area to attract people from further afield with the new food we have on offer."
The store has a diverse clientele to cater for, ranging from students of Ulster University and parents buying school lunches to lorry drivers. Donna and John are focused on improving the store experience for all of their customers, and the investment has created an accessible and modern environment to shop in, doubling the previous retail space and improving digital systems within the stores.
By investing in the expansion of forecourt facilities, Donna and John hope to boost the efficiency and success of their fuel trade by creating more parking spaces and upgrading infrastructure such as fuel pumps.
EXPANDED WORKFORCE
Moran's is a family-run business, but this family extends beyond Donna and John. They cultivate loyalty amongst their staff as well as customers, with employees relocating to Moran stores in Ballykelly and Coleraine until the refurbishment was complete.
Many of the original staff have returned to Strand Road Centra following the refurbishment of the store. "We want the working experience of our employees to be improved too; they will spend the most time in the store," says Donna.
Moran's continues to serve the community through job creation by hiring deli assistants, chefs, butchers and general store assistants, advertising to increase the size of its staff under the strapline, We Need 30 of the Best Across the North West.
"John and I want this refurbishment to be people-orientated, rewarding our customers and staff for their years of loyalty to us and our stores," says Donna.
BESPOKE CATERING SERVICE
Other businesses on Strand Road offering hot foodservice, and thus competition for Moran's, include McDonald's, KFC and Domino's Pizza. Moran's has the competitive advantages of variety and convenience; customers can choose between many different types of food, and the fast-paced deli system allows customers to receive their orders much quicker than in a conventional fast-food system.
The store also offers a healthier alternative to many of these fast-food options through its new Green Kitchen, which is proving popular amongst customers.
Donna and John continue to diversify the experience of their customers and support the community through their catering service. They offer a variety of foodservice such as breakfast, soups and sandwiches, buffets and desserts alongside bespoke menus, with catering staff and equipment hire also available for private and corporate events, as well as weddings. This service can be easily negotiated through their website, www.morans.com, allowing the business to transcend the shop floor.
Ultimately, Donna and John Moran want this multi-million-pound refurbishment to put Centra Strand Road on the map, attracting customers from all over the city with its new array of food to go and upgraded fuel facilities.

Washington's Rose Bowl Float Unveiled
JackGordon.org
Work To Begin On State's Entry in Pasadena Parade
EDWARD (EDDIE) BLACK (extreme right) points to Paul Bunyan in artist's preliminary sketch of the float which Washington State will enter in the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena as he and others in this group complete plans for the float entry. The others in the interested group are (left to right) Jack Gordon, who is a member of the State of Washington Activity Committee for the Rose Bowl, of which Black is chairman, and W. B. (Bud) Stuht, Otto Brandt, Neil T. MacNeil and Arthur Gerbel, who were appointed by Black as an advisory sub-committee. (Post-Intelligencer Photo.)
From an unbylined article in the December 11, 1959, issue of The Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
Work will begin today on Washington State's float for Pasadena's Tournament of Roses, and it will be "the biggest or one of the biggest" floats in the parade, Edward (Eddie) Black, chairman of the State of Washington Activity Committee for the Rose Bowl, reported yesterday.
THE FLOAT WILL be 60 feet long, 17 feet high and 20 feet wide with "Paul Bunyan and the Evergreen State of Washington" as its theme. Theme of the parade will be "Tall Tales and True."
Fresh flowers, 250,000 of them, will depict a 17-foot-tall Paul Bunyan towering over Mount Rainier, the Grand Coulee Dam, Washington's State's forests and Seattle's Lake Washington on the spectacular entry from this state. A big red salmon, also fashioned of flowers, will appear to be leaping below the dam. A hydroplane, to be named Miss Evergreen State, will tow Miss Washington (Sharon Vaughn of Seattle) who will be there in person on water skis in the floral lake. The Century 21 insignia and "1962" will also be lettered on the hydroplane.
FOUR OTHER QUEENS of the state will be invited to ride on the float: Seattle's Queen of the Seas Diane Gray, Ellensburg's Rodeo Queen Linda Anderson, Wenatchee's Apple Blossom Festival Queen Beverly McKain and Spokane's Lilac Festival Queen Donna Jeanne Goodell.
Walter Van Camp, who, as managing director of Greater Seattle, Inc., has been assigned to invite the queens, reported that the Seattle and Wenatchee queens have already accepted.
Final plans for the float were approved yesterday at a meeting called by Black in the Washington Athletic Club. Black and his committee, Jack Gordon, Seattle, coordinator for Gov. Albert D. Rosellini. and H. Dewayne Kreager, Olympia, state director of commerce and industry, met with an advisory group. The group included Arthur Gerbel, public relations manager, KOMO; Otto Brandt, vice president, King Broadcasting Co.; Neil T. MacNeil, promotion manager, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and W. B. (Bud) Stuht, assistant advertising manager, The Seattle Times.
THE FLOAT WILL cost between $17,000 and $20,000, of which $15,000 has already been pledged, Black reported.
THE MONEY IS being donated by public-spirited citizens, organizations and groups. Anyone wishing to contribute may send the money to the Rose Bowl Committee, P. O. Box 693, Seattle, Wash.

Co-locating a Mac Mini outside of your own premises can present a few special challenges. Overall, it's pretty straightforward and with a little preparation a Mac Mini makes an ideal server for co-location.
The single biggest issue with Mac Minis is getting them to power on automatically after a power cut. Why is this an issue given that our facilities have high-capacity, generator-backed uninterruptible power supplies? Well, power cuts aren't a problem, but we do provide access to a remote power control unit (Masterswitch) that allows you remotely power cycle the machine to recover from a crash. If your server doesn't switch on when the power is restored, this will have the effect of turning your machine off, and we'll need to call an engineer to turn it on again. This wastes time (and probably annoys the engineers).
as root. You can also use the Energy Saver panel in System Preferences to achieve the same effect. Make sure that "Restart automatically after a power failure" under options is selected.
Actually we've only tested this on Mac Minis; on other Intel Mac hardware, it may not work. What the command does is to clear the AFTER_G3 bit in the configuration register of the 82801GBH I/O controller hub which acts as the power management controller in the Mac Mini; once that's done, the machine will always wake when AC power is applied.
However, note that in either case the setting is not preserved across boots. OS X handles this by saving the power-management settings on disk and automatically restoring them at boot; Linux doesn't do that for you, so you will need to arrange to run the appropriate command on boot. Obviously it is important to do this as early in the boot process as possible, so that if the machine hangs or crashes while booting, you can still reboot it. For the Intel Macs, we advise you to put the setpci command above into a script to run as early as possible in the boot process.
Note that for the Intel Mac dedicated server machines we set the machine up appropriately in our custom bootloader, so that you don't need to worry about the above. If you opt for our up-and-running service we can configure your machine in the same way.
It is important to test that your Mac Mini will boot correctly without a screen. In particular, if you rely on the Apple Boot Camp firmware update (which provides a legacy BIOS, so that the machine can be booted like a conventional PC), then you may encounter trouble with this, because the VGA BIOS which the machine installs typically blocks trying to communicate with the monitor using DDC.
