Q: Ubuntu 12.04 DVD images and debian-installer The Ubuntu 12.04.1 (Precise) Desktop DVD image for the i386 architecture does not seem to include debian-installer, the alternative text-mode installation option. Why so? In 10.04 (Lucid) the DVD used to include both the graphical and the text-mode installers.
Any references to discussions in mailing lists or in the development wiki are welcome.

A: Yes, you are correct. Ubuntu 10.04 DVD version had both alternate installer and Live Mode.
The download page was clearly saying this

The combined install/live DVD allows you either to install Ubuntu permanently on a computer, or (by entering 'live' at the boot prompt) to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all.

Also by looking at the file lists of the 10.04 DVD, we see all the .deb packages for installation . (you can see the kernel image listed there).
But, in 12.04, The DVD version doesn't have an text mode installer.  Though the page still saying The combined install/live DVD allows you either to install Ubuntu permanently on a computer, or (by entering 'live' at the boot prompt) to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all. This doesn't mean it has a text installer.
Why? Because it lacks the .deb files required for installation.... You can see some .deb files there but those are Libreoffice languages files and some other packages. It lacks the complete package suit need for installation, such as kernel images.
The change in policy happened since Ubuntu 11.10. 11.10 excluded this feature for maintainability of the DVD image and from then DVD image becomes just an extension of the CD image which includes some more softwares (like gimp, pitivi) and full language packs. The release note is saying this

In Ubuntu 11.10 there is now a revised, smaller (in size) DVD based on community feedback over the last few cycles. This new DVD has a more manageable size of 1.5G, and is an extension of our current CD image that includes all the language packs and some other useful applications, such as Inkscape, GIMP, Pitivi, and a more complete LibreOffice suite.

If you are looking for alternate installer. You can Look at this page for 12.04, which lists all the versions of the release. Take note that, the alternate installer images are will not be in the next Ubuntu releases. As Ubuntu mailing list saying this

There
  is no longer a traditional CD sized image, DVD or alternate image, but
  rather a single 800MB Ubuntu image that can be used from USB or DVD.

Hope this will help.

Sometimes, we get overwhelmed. Because life is difficult. Life is at times painful. Life holds a series of problems that need to be solved. These problems can sometimes be painful and create distress. When we are able to cope successfully, we feel better about ourselves and the situation. But sometimes poor coping - our tendency to avoid the problems, demand things be different, take desperate actions or sit on our hands when action needs to be taken - actually creates more distress and more problems.
Marsha Linehan, PhD, the developer of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, developed the concept of "Distress Tolerance" as both a mindset and a set of eight skills to help us survive immediate crises without making things worse. As the title implies, the mindset suggests that you can tolerate and survive challenges and setbacks. The ultimate goal is that you can eventually choose to either solve the problem or accept what cannot be changed. Either way, you are not acting on your impulses and you are not creating more distress.
The skills are meant to be used during that initial crisis period, when you might react foolishly or in the heat of the moment. Dr. Linehan refers to this state of mind as your "emotion mind," whereas a more considered response, when you've had a chance to blend reason with your feelings comes from "wise mind." Good use of distress tolerance skills allows the best immediate reaction to a problem until you can allow your "wise mind"to weigh in. Of the eight Distress Tolerance skills, the first four help us to actively cope with stressors while the other four give us permission and guidance for accepting those facts which cannot be changed or altered.
To cope with a stressor in the moment, for example, without making things worse, go ahead and use the skill: Distract. You can distract temporarily by watching a movie, listening to music, reading a book or going for a walk. By reducing your contact with the stimulus for an hour or two, you allow yourself time to ride through your "emotion mind." Once you are in a more "wise minded"state, you can then begin to problem-solve or accept, as needed. The key to successful use of the Distract skill is doing it purposefully - and only temporarily.Those who over rely on the use of Distraction create other problems as they continue to avoid the problem and don't come back to coping in a more effective way.
To accept those facts in our lives which must be accepted, Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches Radical Acceptance Skills. The term radical helps us to understand that true acceptance has to be experienced fully with both our hearts and our minds. The first step in acceptance is acknowledging your choice to accept or not. If you make the choice to accept, the skill to help you stay effective is: Turning the Mind (towards acceptance). Turning the mind is opposite to capitulating. Capitulating is throwing up your hands and choosing to believe you have no other options but to stay on the current path. Turning the Mind helps you to simply acknowledge the possibility of a third option existing, even if it doesn't seem clear to you now. Turning the Mind must be done over and over again in the moment of distress to keep you effective and to help you tolerate those stressors in life that we all must endure and which can be endured skillfully. The key to acceptance is to be certain you're accepting just the unalterable facts; not beliefs, judgments or feelings about your worth or the future.
This is just a taste of this amazing and effective approach to tolerating distress. If you would like to learn effective skills for managing stressors through Dialectical Behavior Therapy, please contact our office. We're planning to start a skills learning group in the Spring of 2018,so please let us know if you're interested in getting more information.

Paper: Diversity – Due 9/11/13 by 12noon
Assignment 2: DiversityOne of the major changes affecting today's organizations is diversity in the workforce. In the United States, perhaps more than in any other country, diversity has become the norm rather than the exception. This reality presents new challenges for contemporary managers. Learning new management techniques and how to apply them is paramount. The challenges become greater when organizations venture beyond their state or country's borders. Transnational organizations work in a variety of countries and settings and produce a variety of products and services to meet the needs of their customers.In this assignment, you will review the concluding case study: The New Frontier for Fresh Foods Supermarkets at the end of the chapter, "Managing the Diverse Workforce," and prepare a case study analysis (approximately 3-4 pages). You will need to use additional resources in preparing your report.Investigate and analyze the company's origin, history, corporate structure and growth.Identify the strengths and weaknesses within the company in reference to their diversity initiativesIdentify opportunities and threats within the company's external environment in reference to their diversity initiativesWhat steps can Vivian Noble take to recruit and develop her new workforce?What other ways can Noble help her company reach out to the community?How will Fresh Foods Supermarkets as a whole benefit from successfully moving into this new region of the country?By Wednesday, September 11, 2013, deliver your assignments to the M2: Assignment 2 Dropbox.Assignment 2 Grading CriteriaMaximum PointsAnalyzed company's history, growth, origin and structure.15Identified strengths and weaknesses in reference to company's diversity initiatives.15Identified opportunities and threats within the external environment in reference to company's diversity initiatives.15Explained steps to recruit and develop a new work force.15Explained ways the company can reach out to the community.15Explained how the company will benefit from successfully moving into the new region.15Applied current APA standards for editorial style, expression of ideas, and format of text, citations, and references.10Total:100Case Study:Fresh Foods Supermarkets is a grocery store chain that was established in the Southeast 20 years ago. The company is now beginning to expand to other regions of the United States. First, the firm opened new stores along the eastern seaboard, gradually working its way up through Maryland and Washington, DC, then through New York and New Jersey, and on into Connecticut and Massachusetts. It has yet to reach the northern New England states, but executives have decided to turn their attention to the Southwest, particularly because of the growth of population there.Vivian Noble, the manager of one of the chain's most successful stores in the Atlanta area, has been asked to relocate to Phoenix, Arizona, to open and run a new Fresh Foods Supermarket. She has decided to accept the job, but she knows it will be a challenge. As an African American woman, she has faced some prejudice during her career, but she refuses to be stopped by a glass ceiling or any other barrier. She understands that she will be living and working in an area where several cultures combine and collide, and she will be hiring and managing a diverse workforce. Noble has the support of top management at Fresh Foods, which wants the store to reflect the surrounding community—in both staff makeup and product selection. So she will be looking to hire employees with Hispanic and Native American roots, as well as older workers who can relate to the many retired residents in the area. And she will be seeking their input on the selection of certain food products, including popular ethnic brands, so that customers know they can buy what they need and want at Fresh Foods.In addition, Noble wants to make sure that Fresh Foods provides services above and beyond those of a standard supermarket to attract local consumers. For instance, she wants the store to offer free delivery of groceries to homebound customers who are either senior citizens or physically disabled. She wants to be sure that the store has enough bilingual employees to translate for and otherwise assist customers who speak little or no English. Noble believes that she is a pioneer of sorts, guiding Fresh Food Supermarkets into a new frontier. "The sky is almost always blue here," she says of her new home state. "And there's no glass ceiling between me and the sky."

Have you been noticing OLED displays coming into more and more products lately? It's not just televisions, it's smartwatches, head-mounted displays in cars and laptops, too. Don't forget about smartphones. All the smartphones. Even the budget smartphones.
Researchers from IDTechEx estimate that the OLED production business generated revenue of $25.5 billion in 2018 — about 81 percent of that revenue went to smartphone displays.
The biggest reason why the industry has been so lopsided is because of how big (or small) these panels are: TVs accounted for about 40 percent of total OLED acreage last year, but because costs go up with diode densification, it's not exactly a surprise to see smartphones take up most of the other 60 percent or about 3.6 million square meters.
Even with depressed holiday sales, Apple has been ordering more OLED displays for two of its newest iPhone models. That has meant a production boost in the order of the tens of millions.
It's expected that the overal OLED market will grow to $30.3 billion this year. By next year, acreage will meet or surpass the 10 million square meter mark and perhaps above 50 million square meters by 2029.

Линия M1 — самая старая из четырёх линий Будапештского метрополитена. Её открытие в 1896 году позволило Будапешту стать первым городом континентальной Европы с метрополитеном. В 1973 году была незначительно продлена. На схемах обозначается жёлтым цветом.

Описание
Длина линии — 4,4 км, на ней находятся 11 станций. Значительная часть линии от станции Байчи-Жилински ут до станции Хёшёк тере проходит под центральной улицей Пешта — проспектом Андраши. Линия вытянута с юго-запада на северо-восток, ведёт из центра города в северо-восточные районы.

Платформы и подвижной состав «исторической» первой линии Будапештского метро резко отличаются от трёх других линий. Поезда на линии скорее напоминают трамваи, имеют расчётную пассажировместимость 246 человек (7 чел./м²) и состоят из трёх небольших сочленённых вагонов, по традиции выкрашенных в жёлтый цвет. Все станции — с двумя боковыми платформами, которые имеют небольшую длину, соответствующую 30-метровой длине поезда. Станции оформлены в одинаковом стиле (за исключением Деак Ференц тер, Сечени фюрдё и Мексикои ут, которые имеют более современный облик) и имеют небольшую глубину. Также характерной особенностью линии являются небольшие перегоны между станциями — средняя длина перегона — 400 метров.

Переход на другие линии метро осуществляется на станции Деак Ференц тер. Транспортная нагрузка на первую линию метро ниже, чем на две другие; однако она популярна у туристов из-за своего необычного внешнего вида, исторического статуса, а также благодаря тому, что связывает центр города с такими туристическими достопримечательностями, как проспект Андраши, площадь Героев, парк Варошлигет, купальни Сеченьи и др.

История
Открытие метрополитена в Будапеште в 1896 году было частью программы грандиозных празднований в честь тысячелетия «обретения венграми родины», то есть прихода венгерских племён на территорию современной Венгрии. План постройки был утверждён Национальной ассамблеей в 1870 году, работы стартовали в 1894 году. Строительство вела немецкая компания Siemens & Halske, строительство велось открытым способом. Работы были выполнены за два года, на строительстве трудилось более 2 тысяч человек, при работах использовалось самое современное на тот момент оборудование. Торжественное открытие линии состоялось 2 мая 1896 года, на нём присутствовал император Франц Иосиф.

Первый участок, переданный в эксплуатацию в 1896 году, включал 11 станций от станции «Гизелла тер» (ныне Вёрёшмарти тер) до станции «Артези фюрдё» (ныне Сеченьи фюрдё), причём две заключительные — «Аллаткерт» и «Сеченьи Фюрдё» располагались на поверхности. Первый в Европе моторный поезд Будапештского метрополитена был отправлен во второй половине дня 2 мая 1896 года, а 8 мая 1896 года по линии подземки совершил поездку император Франц Иосиф I.

В 1973 году северная часть линии подверглась перестройке, была сооружена станция «Мексикои ут», ставшая конечной, была ликвидирована наземная станция «Аллаткерт» (), существовавшая между станциями «Сеченьи фюрдё» и «Хёшёк тере», а станция «Сеченьи фюрдё» была перестроена в подземную станцию.

Gorguts' complex songwriting shines in 'Erosion of Sanity'
Gorguts album Erosion of Sanity is a hard album to review.
It's not because it's a bad album. It's not because it's a boring album.
What it is is an album songs that each maintain such a high quality of musicianship and writing that it's almost impossible to separate even one track that stands out above the others. I've been listening to Erosion for Sanity for over a week and I've found it to be an almost insurmountable task.
Released on Jan. 19, 1993, Erosion of Sanity is one of the last albums from death metal's heyday, when it seemed that it was heading for the mainstream (at least as far as the broader metal community was concerned) and bands were being signed left and right, with Entombed, Carcass and Morbid Angel putting out major label releases. But, as the year went on, it became clear that breakthrough wasn't going to happen.
Despite the critical success of Erosion of Sanity, Roadrunner Records would drop Gorguts later in 1993, due to the decline in popularity of death metal. The act would cease to exist for about five years until lead singer Luc Lemay returned with a new lineup, releasing the album Obscura in 1998. Obscura was actually written mostly in 1993 while Gorguts was supporting Erosion of Sanity.
Erosion of Sanity is the first Gorguts album I sat down and listened to. My experience with them back in 1993 was limited to a single song on a death metal compilation released by Rock Hard magazine, which was out of Europe. I do not remember what the song was, but that may be because that compilation was full of quality songs from a variety of different acts. To this very day, some of the songs from that compilation remain among my favorites such as "Enthralled in Essence" by Atheist, "Ancient Entity" by Tiamat and "Suicide Machine" by Death.
So, with not much of a recollection of what Gorguts sounded like, I walked into Erosion of Sanity expecting your typical, straight forward death metal.
Man, was that a wrong assumption.
Gorguts is what the people who wrote their entry over on Wikipedia like to call "technical death metal."
"What is that?" You may ask.
According to the definition provided by those Wikipedia writers it'is "a musical subgenre of death metal that focuses on complex rhythms, riffs and song structures."
Listening to Erosion of Sanity, I can't help but agree. It's an album marked by complex songs and musical proficiency. There's basically nothing in the line of memorable choruses or catchy melodies. Instead, the music challenges the listener, lulling them into a sense of harmony before a song changes tempo and direction — and there is a lot of that.
Gorguts at the time was made up of vocalist/guitarist/pianist Lemay, Sylvian Marcoux on guitars, Eric Giguere on bass guitar and Stephane Provencher on drums and percussion. Only Lemay would return for Obscura.
If you couldn't guess by all the French surnames, the band hails from Quebec.
Like I said, this album is going to be hard to pick out individual songs.
The first track, "With their Flesh, He'll Create" is an example as to why. This song kicks off furiously with the galloping drums and flesh ripping rhythm which lead into Lemay's roars. From there it goes into a quick guitar melody before slowing way down into the down-tuned death metal you're probably familiar with. But man, it's a good song, with excellent guitar melodies and solos, which are brief but memorable. Overall, it may be the very best song on the album, though I'm not sure if you want to start off with the best because everything after that just fails to meet the highest standard you've set.
"Condemned to Obscurity" starts off with a piano intro with a bludgeoning and fast riff from the band fading in just kicks ass.
Erosion of Sanity is a deserving title track. Like most of the album so far, it kicks in with the double bass blazing. There's also a melody leading into Lemay's roaring vocals. It also has some short, but sweet guitar solos going on.
Now, these three tracks give you a feel for the entire album. Most of the tracks follow a similar pattern of tempo changes and displays of musical proficiency. But, the problem is, there aren't really any that make the same impact beyond the first three tracks. It's not saying that they're bad songs. I would say it's because of the high level of complexity, a strength which can also be a weakness. The songs can be broken down to several different stand out, but very short parts, and often Erosion of Sanity can feel like it's made up of several microsongs or micromovements, which kind makes the album feel less like individual songs and more like interchangeable fragments floating around.
The final track "Dormant Mystery" is the lone standout after the first three songs. Its acoustic lead-in and more focused structure sets it apart from much of the album. Compared to what comes between it and the title track, it is probably the most memorable track on the album.
So, would I recommend Erosion of Sanity?
Depends who you are.
If you are a person who loves to hear musical skill, challenging song structure and death metal guitar solos, then I definitely would. This is the sort of album that you should listen to alone as to not be distracted by anything else. There's a lot to be enjoyed here and it just can't be background noise.
On the other hand, if you're looking for catchy songs that you can growl along with, then this album probably isn't for you.
I'm one of the former though and despite my inability to find many standout tracks, the whole of Erosion of Sanity is something I found worth listening to.

A Spiritual Eye on Ireland
Jenny Cathcart meets Pip Sides, the potential preacher turned philosphical photographer
Crom Estate, Upper Lough Erne1.JPG
Like Guy Fawkes Night and Hallowe'en, Enniskillen photographer Pip Sides is preparing his annual 'Burn ceremony', a bonfire attended by costumed musicians and dancers, to ritually burn any of his negatives more than five years old.
'Burning the past ensures new energy for the future', Sides claims, whose study of comparative religions, appreciation of religious ritual, and interest in spiritual values inform his art photography.
In previous years, the Burn night has been held in the Buttermarket, where Sides' photographic gallery and studio have been since he set up his business with the help of the Princes Trust in 1995. This year, the Burn will be staged at the Powerscourt centre, Dublin, where Sides is opening his first gallery in Southern Ireland.
Sides was born in County Cavan in 1976, son of a Church of Ireland clergyman. When he was four years old, his family moved to the rectory at Florencecourt in Co Fermanagh, a parish which includes the Florencecourt domain, once the family seat of the Earls of Enniskillen and now a National Trust property.
A rebellious youth, Sides ran away from boarding school in Dungannon when he was fifteen, but later resumed his studies at the Belfast Institute for Higher Education passing A-levels in philosophy, media studies and photography.
Gaining a place at Bath Spa University to study philosophy and comparative religion with a view to becoming a Church of Ireland clergyman, Sides holds strong views about how the Church should open and accept the diversity of religious traditions.
While still at college, Sides spent six months exploring the ascetic and spiritual side of his nature at the Romanian Orthodox Theological College in Sibiu, a rigorous training school for priests who rose daily at 7am and fasted before Holy Communion.
They conducted their prayer rituals amid the hazy smoke of burning incense and the glow of burning candles. In contrast, Sides satisfied his passion for speed and the open road when in 1999 he drove a motorbike across America from Los Angeles to Carolina. During this trip he discovered Ansel Adams' black and white photographs, and decided to make photography his career.
Sides' early attachment to the Florencecourt estate and similar properties in Co Fermanagh is revealed in his photographs.
A series of photographs taken in May 2004 on the Crom Estate includes one of the house and lawns, taken with an infra-red lens that picks up living energy, in this case the grass, creating a mystical effect.
'Solitude' depicts an empty boat moored on the lake shore, alone amid the stark stillness of a calm day. Such peaceful scenes are typical of life in Fermanagh, a county with a low population density where local people and visitors can enjoy magnificent mountains, lakes and a well-organised park infrastructure.
Changing weather patterns are another feature of the Fermanagh landscape.
'One can experience four seasons in a day,' says Sides. 'In the summer, I prefer to take photographs in the early morning so I can catch the shadows cast by the rising sun. In winter, the sun is never too high so it's possible to gain good contrast between blacks and whites. Winter skies can be dramatic with dark menacing clouds, like those depicted in my photograph of the 17th century plantation castle at Monea. It's a place with a history of plunder and power'.
Even the Fermanagh water has an effect on Pip's photographs for the density of the minerals it contains sometimes leave stains on the negatives. Fermanagh has a high proportion of religious sites, relics of a monastic life that flourished among the islands of the Erne waterway in the 4th and 5th centuries and where, down the years, people have gone to pray and meet God.
Inishmacsaint is one of those islands and here, Sides photographed a huge Celtic cross 'up close and low down', achieving an impression of intense power and proximity.
A similar effect was achieved in his photograph of the neo-classical facade at Enniskillen's Town hall, when Sides lay on his back in the street and used a wide angle lens to achieve a commanding image, softened only by the reflection of an ornate street lamp in one of the windows.
True to his mission to 'capture the spiritual vision of Ireland', Sides has filmed a series of photographs in the Mourne Mountains, including the peak of Slieve Donard.
When Sides was commissioned to take photographs for a new wing at the Killyhevlin hotel in Enniskillen, he decided to enhance the overall feeling of comfort by abandoning his trademark black and white prints with black ash frames, in favour of a gold antique sepia finish and a new framing, devised by Victoria Scott.
The photographs were hung between two sheets of glass, creating a three-dimensional effect. A glass surround between the 'Silver Manhattan' frame and the photograph also allowed the colour of the background wall to come through as part of the picture.
A stunning example of the new sepia format is Sides' photograph of the Jeannie Johnston, a replica Irish famine ship, which famously never lost a soul during any of its voyages to America. The photograph was taken with a panoramic film camera (Fuji GX6170) in Kinsale harbour on a clear day in the summer of 2005. The proud ship fills the frame and the sepia finish is entirely in keeping with an historical subject.
A Westport hotel owner commissioned Sides to photograph his horses. Sides used the same panoramic camera, enabling him to compose a picture of horses and riders galloping along the beach, against a majestic backdrop of the Croagh Patrick Mountains. A normal camera can only produce such a scene in a triptych of photographs.
Sides is an energetic promoter of his own work, whether on his website, in the newspapers or at craft fairs all over Ireland. Apart from his art photography he undertakes commercial work with digital cameras and is booked to cover more than fifty weddings in 2007.
Sides' assistant, Padraig Donnelly, shoots the main group photographs while Pip covers the candid camera shots. The photographs may be downloaded with a secure code from the website or printed out on the day as fine quality prints, a far cry from the old Polaroid system.

The Love Affair With Vintage Suiting
(VBC Fabric Academy 2)
Sonya Glyn NICHOLSON 4 Déc 2014
In his essay, Of the Obsolescence of Man, Hugo Jacomet talks about the loss of past conventions, such as handwriting letters and even walking or running to go somewhere. He points out that when ways of doing things cease to exist, a nostalgia is created for those very things that are lost. To simplify, we feel nostalgia due to loss. For example, we feel intrigued to receive a handwritten letter, and we run "for our health" with no destination in mind
A suit made with a vintage fabric creates a certain emotion as well.
Perhaps wearing a suit that brings to mind earlier generations creates the sort of mood that once existed when men placed a higher value on style–a time when wearing a suit to town was expected and not questioned.
To the contrary, nowadays, if someone wears a suit without an obvious reason, he will likely be quizzed about why he "dressed up".
Taking the thought process further, more subtle meanings surface, playing on higher ideas such as channeling a time when respect was shown to others through the act of dressing well–a place where wearing a beautiful suit reflected (if only in our minds) a more peaceful era and a less complicated way of life.
Vitale Barberis Canonico designer Michele Papuzzo seems to understand the nostalgia effect and how it applies to re-creating fabric from the past for use in a modern world.
The calling to create suits that aptly reflect the past is a little more complicated than making pretty fabrics. For even if the beauty of historical fabrics can claim a real lure, the functionality of authentic vintage cloths can be off-putting, especially when you consider that old wools were once scratchy against the skin and too thick and heavy to be worn in any type of weather conditions other than cold temperatures.
To counter these issues of tactile and temperature-sensitivity problems found in original vintage fabrics, Papuzzo created an entire line of historical-inspired fabrics known as Intrepid. These notable fabrics feel good against the skin and are substantially lighter in weight to give the wearer a three season experience.
After 28 years of working with the world's oldest mill, Michele is at home at VBC in Pratrivero, Italy, and has witnessed almost three decades of the changing tide of fabric styles and functionality. After graduating from the Institute of Technology in Biella, followed by a brief stint at another fabric mill, Michele found a place of belonging and continues to sharpened his skills in creating classic suiting fabrics.
A VBC thoroughbred initially working alongside Mr. Luciano Barberis Canonico, Michele now works closely with Luciano's son, Francesco.
With mannerisms and a tone of speech that channel regality, Michele seems like the perfect fit to direct the VBC Intrepid series–known as the definitive group of fabrics with a strong historical reference.
"If he were a textile, Michele would without doubt be something in pure wool, -not completely milled to give it depth- it would be a bright blue, perhaps with a narrow pinstripe, restrained, reassuring. And Michele is really like that, an unimpeachable professional, precise, clear, meticulous, who translates his character and personality into the fabrics he designs." ~Simone Ubertino Rosso, Head of Communications and Image at VBC
As an indisputable expert of classic fabric design, Papuzzo has chosen for the PG/VBC Fabric Academy two fabrics as his favorites (from a vast selection of up to 4,000 fabric designs a year, as you know).
As he unveils his two fabric choices, he says with authority, "I have chosen these two fabrics because of their outstanding character of appearance…and their distinct temperament in function."
# 1: MOULINÉ WORSTED SUIT ( 63.813/01 ) 300 g
Michele:
This rich houndstooth fabric was created as a modern interpretation of a classic fabric for menswear, such as the crossbred (a once-popular dimensional weave achieved by alternating yarns of different thicknesses), and is in my opinion one of the most beautiful fabrics for daywear or for travel.
In order to recreate the charismatic appearance, we use pure wool yarns of 21.5 microns which give the fabric a full, vigorous hand, while the inclusion of the mouliné yarn enhances it with an uneven, country look.
These particular wools, the mouliné effect and the strong-coloured stripes give this fabric a masculine look, with a versatile and comfortable weight of 300 g/meter.
Because the fabric has such a cool-weather texture, it is a great fabric for a winter suit, but also would be ideal to wear as a three-piece suit on an autumn visit to London, or even a brisk spring morning in Verona.
This fabric is most popular principally in the Italian and wider European markets, but is also on the rise around the world."
Here's an example of a suit made with another VBC Intrepid Fabric. Note the richness of the colors and dimensional texture.

Varying structural components in the Intrepid fabric series, such as mouliné, slub and knop yarns, as well as many relief weaves, over-dyes, innovative blends, rare materials and thick finishes work together to create a striking vintage cloth line-up.
For those interested in vintage fabrics, here are a few terms to know:
Mouliné or Jaspé: This method was once used to camouflage defects in inferior wools. These fabrics have a dynamic appearance and a full, strong, weighty hand. Yarns are made by folding together two or more different plies with varying colors and/or fibers with different dyeing reactions. The result is a mottled appearance to the fabric surface. This method is used to make historical-based fabrics and is also used to make Fresco fabric. Slub yarns: As more commonly seen in linen and wild silk, irregular yarn strands with thick places as well as thin areas are either twisted or folded together.
Knop yarn: Plies of yarn are twisted together, with one fiber twisting faster than the other.
Relief weave: A "blistered" effect, with high and low areas on the surface of the fabric.
Over dyeing: The practice of dyeing fibers initially, and then a second or third time with different colors to create a dimensional effect.
Thick finishing (raising): During raising, sharp metal teeth lift surface fibers, giving the fabric hairiness, softness and warmth, as seen in flannels.
# 2: WOOL MOHAIR TROPICAL ( 730.936/400 ) 290 g
This fabric in wool (73%) and mohair (27%) is one of the Vitale Barberis Canonico wool mill's classics.
Its superiority is already evident from its plain colour where the contrast between the warp and weft threads gives it the characteristic energy and distinctiveness.
In particular, the mohair fibre, which is very similar to silk, gives the fabric the right degree of lustre, the fresh, dynamic hand and makes it perfect for the summer season.
A fabric which is ideal for blazers, for formal suits or for dinner jackets, a passport to any event and which should never be missing from any gentleman's wardrobe for gala evenings or festive occasions.
An international fabric, very much appreciated by the British, Continental Europeans and the Japanese.
The Vitale Barberis Canonico customers who use this fabric include Drapers, Burberry, Tiger, Marukishi and many others.

Fabric Weight : How many Grams ?


Paco has just arrived at the International Airport in Mumbai. Normally, you have to be two hours before boarding to check in. However, Paco does not know what time his flight leaves. In fact, he does not know when he will fly since he has not bought the ticket yet. He hopes he can fly to Saigon.
The airport is so big that he has spent half an hour searching for the correct desk to get the ticket to Shanghai. He has heard this is the busiest airport in India. He can see lots of people rushing up and down the busy corridors looking for their respective boarding gates. Suddenly, a woman runs into him and he falls down onto the floor. The woman apologises to him for not having seen him and continues running. He wants to escape from that place as soon as he can.
Once at the desk he politely asks a clerk for a ticket for the next flight to Shanghai. The clerk tells him that, unfortunately, there are so many people who want to fly there that there are no tickets until next Friday. The woman has such a sweet voice and has told him that so politely that he does not care. He will buy the ticket now and leave for Shanghai on Friday. After paying some hundreds dollars for the ticket Paco turns over and is about to leave when he hears the same beautiful voice: "Sir, I forgot to tell you. I'm afraid it is not a direct flight. You will have to make a stopover in Karachi, Pakistan". Paco smiles at her and thinks: "Your voice is so beautiful and you are so kind that I could never complain to you about that". However, the only words that come out of his mouth are: "Thank you very much for the notice, miss, I'm not in a hurry", and he leaves.

Q: How add unique key to existing table (with non uniques rows) I want to add complex unique key to existing table. Key contains from 4 fields (user_id, game_id, date, time).
But table have non unique rows.
I understand that I can remove all duplicate dates and after that add complex key.
Maybe exist another solution without searching all duplicate data. (like add unique ignore etc).
UPD
I searched, how can remove duplicate mysql rows - i think it's good solution.
Remove duplicates using only a MySQL query?

A: The proper syntax would be - ALTER TABLE Table_Name ADD UNIQUE (column_name)

Example

ALTER TABLE  0_value_addition_setup ADD UNIQUE (`value_code`)

A: I am providing my solution with the assumption on your business logic. Basically in my design I will allow the table to store only one record for a user-game combination.  So I will add a composite key to the table.
PRIMARY KEY (`user_id`,`game_id`)

A:
Set Multiple Unique key into table

ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD CONSTRAINT UC_table_name UNIQUE (field1,field2);

A: Either create an auto-increment id or a UNIQUE id and add it to the natural key you are talking about with the 4 fields. this will make every row in the table unique...

A: You can do as yAnTar advised
ALTER TABLE TABLE_NAME ADD Id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY

OR
You can add a constraint
ALTER TABLE TABLE_NAME ADD CONSTRAINT constr_ID UNIQUE (user_id, game_id, date, time)

But I think to not lose your existing data, you can add an indentity column and then make a composite key.

A: I had to solve a similar problem. I inherited a large source table from MS Access with nearly 15000 records that did not have a primary key, which I had to normalize and make CakePHP compatible. One convention of CakePHP is that every table has a the primary key, that it is first column and that it is called 'id'. The following simple statement did the trick for me under MySQL 5.5:
ALTER TABLE `database_name`.`table_name`
ADD COLUMN `id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT FIRST,
ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`);

This added a new column 'id' of type integer in front of the existing data ("FIRST" keyword). The AUTO_INCREMENT keyword increments the ids starting with 1. Now every dataset has a unique numerical id. (Without the AUTO_INCREMENT statement all rows are populated with id = 0).

A: For MySQL:
ALTER TABLE MyTable ADD MyId INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY;

A: If yourColumnName has some values doesn't unique, and now you wanna add an unique index for it. Try this:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IDX_Name] ON yourTableName (yourColumnName) WHERE [id]>1963 --1963 is max(id)-1

Now, try to insert some values are exists for test.


I painted some ornaments for Christmas presents. Unexpectedly a few were sold….so I painted more. I thought that I would be bored after a few paintings with same objects. But surprisingly I am still having a fun to play with those glittery objects. Since I am off from school the rest of this week and do not have much to do, I am going to keep painting more Christmas images.
I went to the grocery shopping this morning for Thanksgiving dinner. The roads and stores were crowded and people were busily moving. I got enough foods and sweets for this week, I will not step out from our home for a while and enjoy the beautiful days quietly. Yes..outside is gorgeous.


Researchers have shown that higher levels of Plasmodium falciparum antibodies are protective against severe malaria in children living in Papua New Guinea. Children who have higher levels of antibodies to a specific short amino acid sequence in the malaria parasite, P. falciparum, have much lower rates of clinical and severe malaria. This amino acid sequence, an antigen, is similar among P. falciparum strains elsewhere in the world, suggesting that this antigen would make a good target for a malaria vaccine.
This work shows that people who lack immunity to the malaria parasite are more likely to experience malaria symptoms. These people could be identified by their relative lack of antibodies to this antigen, said corresponding author Alyssa Barry, BSc (Hons), PhD, Associate Professor, and a group leader within the Population Health and Immunity Division, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Melbourne, Australia.
In the study, the investigators measured antibody responses to the ICAM1-binding motif. The subjects of this study were 187 children ages 1-3, from Papua New Guinea. Once the measurements were taken, the investigators followed the children for 16 months to determine the incidence of malaria over time.
Antibody responses to the ICAM1-binding motif were associated with 37 percent less risk of high-density clinical malaria during follow-up. (A high density of the parasite in an infection is necessary, but not sufficient to cause a severe case of malaria.) Children who had severe cases of malaria during follow-up showed significantly lower levels of antibody to those sequences.
Globally, more than 200 million cases of malaria occur annually, and the disease kills an estimated 400,000 annually, according to the report. Children are the hardest hit.

7/20/1947 - Happy Birthday Carlos Santana, 70 years old today -- Fact: no other musician was leading a band that fused melodic-blues-based guitar with Latin and African rhythms, plus incorporated all kinds of exotic percussive instruments never used before to such dynamic effect in any kind of rock sound -- Ahhh, in other words, Total Mind-Blowing Innovation!!! Not easy to accomplish either... -- Stats: Ten Grammys, three Latin Grammys, No. 15 on Rolling Stone's Top 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time (we think he should be Top Ten, after all, Eric Clapton has name-checked Carlos as his favorite guitarist!); plus, throw in a handful of prog-and-jazz-fusion albums that he's done which are, frankly, incapable of being imitated by anyone anywhere: Well done, Carlos!!!

Organ Procurement and Transplant
Organ donation and euthanasia make a good team in Ontario
(Ontario, Canada) (2019)
Michael Cook* | There is a startling statistic tucked away in Ontario's September quarter euthanasia statistics. A total of 519 people were euthanised from July 1 to September 30. . . But of the total euthanised, it appears, from government's sketchy summary, 30 donated organs. . .
Womb transplants could be a "vital medical service" for transgender women
Michael Cook* | A well-known British cosmetic surgeon says that transgender women (ie, natal males) should be entitled to womb transplants when the technique becomes safe and feasible. Children have already been born after womb transplants from live and deceased donors.
Testimony of Wang Guoqi
(China) (2001)
Introduction | Wang Guoqi was a doctor at a Chinese People's Liberation Army Hospital who willingly participated in organ harvesting from executed prisoners. However, after a particularly gruesome experience he experienced a conflict of conscience and tried to avoid further involvement in the process. His initial attempt was rejected and he was met with various forms of pressure to continue his participation.

Tag: aliens
Tag: search for life
We'd probably recognize life as we know it, however many light-years away it is, but what about life as we don't know it?
NASA's Nexus for Exoplanet System Science (NexSS) is bringing together leading astronomers, biologists and geologists to not only search for aliens, but define what a planet teeming with life could actually look like both physically and chemically — even if it looks nothing like Earth.
Life-forms on Earth could have spawned from something that definitely wasn't alive
So we want to jet to Mars, but how will we fuel up to get back?
Exoplanets that are rocky and temperate like our own are scattered all over the Milky Way. There could be some that seem to have all the right biosignatures but are hostile to life. There could be some that could appear barren and hostile until we realize that there is hidden life on them that follows a different and much more unexpected set of rules that don't necessarily include breathing oxygen or photosynthesizing certain wavelengths of light.
"What does a living planet look like?" asked NASA astrobiologist and microbiologist Mary Parenteau, who recently co-authored five review papers on the subject. "We have to be open to the possibility that life may arise in many contexts in a galaxy with so many diverse worlds—perhaps with purple-colored life instead of the familiar green-dominated life forms on Earth, for example. That's why we are considering a broad range of biosignatures."
Green indicates life on Earth. Could it mean death on other planets?
What a habitable exoplanet could look like. Credit: NASA
Parenteau and colleagues took an inventory of biosignatures and tried to figure out how they should be interpreted if they show up on alien worlds. They are also investigating which instruments would be optimal for detecting anything that could be life, because the looming cosmic question is how to be able to distinguish a living planet or moon.
Titan's lakes of methane and ethane may be toxic to us, but there has been much speculation that there could be some sort of life-forms swimming in those extraterrestrial waters.
Telescopes will have to level up and zero in if we want to at least attempt finding an answer. Observatories such as the Giant Magellan Telescope, the Extremely Large Telescope and NASA's James Webb Space Telescope—should it not experience another delay—could analyze the atmospheric makeup of some of those rocky planets out there. Since we won't be walking around on any of these planets soon, we need to rely on a telescope's ability to observe the light reflecting off them what kinds of gases are swirling in their atmospheres.
"We won't have a 'yes' or 'no' answer to finding life elsewhere," said NASA astrobiologist Shawn Domagal-Goldman. "What we will have is a high level of confidence that a planet appears alive for reasons that can only be explained by the presence of life."
Meaning, what qualifies as life elsewhere in the vast expanse of space could be something even sci-fi movies never dreamed of.

Tiny 2-Minute New York Times Crossword Puzzles For Your Morning Commute
New, adorable, and addictive.
By Rebecca Greenfield 1 minute Read
For those looking to brush up on crossword skills while waiting in line at CVS, The New York Times has added tiny puzzles to its iPhone app. The timed 5-by-5 grids take just minutes to complete for a mediocre puzzler, perfect for a short commute, and a quick and dirty way to feel good about your puzzling skills.
Unlike the rest of the app, whose daily Times grids are only available to those who pay a whopping $40 a year, or $6.99 a month for access, the mini puzzles are delightfully free. For now, the mini-puzzles are only available for iPhone and iPad.
In an attempt to capitalize on one of its biggest constituencies, the Gray Lady has been revamping its digital puzzle offerings. The Times has 200,000 crossword subscribers, a source told BuzzFeed, compared to its 831,000 digital subscribers, as of July. In May, the Times launched an updated version of its free-to-download crossword app, including a "Play Anywhere" feature that allows players to continue the same puzzle across devices.
Most people won't need the "Play Anywhere" feature for the puzzlettes; they should only take a few minutes. But the mini games, for some, will be the gateway drug to paying for the full suite of Times puzzle offerings. After a few days of free, but ultimately too-small grids, puzzlers will be wanting more, which you can get on the same app…for an additional $40 a year. Well played, New York Times.

Choc News : Can craft chocolate turn the tide on Haiti's devastating deforestation?
When a tiny Quebec chocolate maker won a gold prize at this year's premier International Chocolate Awards for a bar made with Haitian cocoa beans, it rocked the specialty chocolate world. The cocoa beans had been on the market for less than a year, and a Haitian chocolate bar had never before received the award.
Haiti produces less than 1 percent of the world's cocoa. But today, cocoa industry players are aiming to put the Caribbean nation on the craft quality chocolate map, while providing some of the world's poorest farmers with a better life and stemming the forces that have left Haiti a near moonscape. Stunningly 98 percent deforested, Haiti is an environmental mess, vulnerable to devastating floods and mudslides.
Efforts to connect poor cocoa farmers in Haiti to consumers willing to pay upwards of US$8 for a single chocolate bar are part of a much broader movement within the development community to combat global poverty and protect natural resources through access to such specialty markets.
But can these efforts make a difference in tackling some of the key drivers of environmental degradation? And can they do it at a scale that actually transforms struggling rural economies?
Grinding poverty is a root cause for Haiti's deforestation. Per capita income was just US$828 in 2015, and two-thirds of Haitians are subsistence farmers. The vast majority cook their food with wood charcoal. Charcoal production fuels deforestation, which leads to soil erosion, loss of productive agricultural land and a vicious cycle of poverty.
An estimated 50 percent of Haitian topsoil has washed away, destroying Haiti's farmland and contributing to crop losses that reached 70% in some places in the face of extreme drought this year.
"As long as the market is stable and farmers can depend on it, those trees will be in the ground for at least 40 years," adds Emily Stone, founder of Uncommon Cacao.
Currently, some 20,000 smallholder farmers harvest cocoa as a cash crop in what they call "creole gardens" in two regions of Haiti. But, "garden" is a misnomer, because these dense tangles of vegetation, averaging an acre (half a hectare) in size, form mini-forests. Larger coconut, breadfruit, mango and avocado trees tower over and offer shade to the smaller cocoa trees, as well as food for the farmers and habitat for birds and other animals.
Cocoa farms are in fact one of the few places in Haiti with standing trees, according to Patrick Dessources from Root Capital, which finances small agricultural businesses and is partnering with FOMIN and other groups to rebuild Haiti's cocoa industry.
Haiti currently exports 4,000 metric tons (4,400 tons) of cocoa per year, a big drop from its peak of 20,000 metric tons (22,000 tons) in the 1960s and far less than neighboring Dominican Republic, which exported 70,000 metric tons (77,000 tons) in 2014.
Revitalizing Haiti's cocoa industry can help reforest the country, but key to that revitalization is building capacity for producing the high-quality fermented cocoa beans that are used by specialty and dark chocolate manufacturers, like Palette de Bine, the award winner. Those beans fetch higher prices that help farmers live better.
Currently, more than 90 percent of Haiti's cocoa beans are sold and exported in their raw, unprocessed state for mass-produced chocolate because farmers have few options for fermenting their beans. Currently there are only three fermentation facilities in the country.
One of those facilities is operated by Product de Iles S.A. or PISA, which produced the fermented beans for Palette de Bine's winning chocolate bar. PISA sources cocoa beans from 1,500 small, family-run farms spread across the foothills of the Massif de Nord mountain range.
PISA pays farmers double the price they would receive for raw beans. That motivates them to protect their trees from the charcoal market. Pierre Daniel Phelizor, for example, a cocoa farmer of 15 years, says he's "doing real business" with his trees now that he sells to PISA. What's more, Phelizor runs a small nursery, selling cocoa, breadnut and mango trees to other cocoa farmers.
One of PISA's main buyers is Taza Chocolate. The first U.S. specialty chocolate maker to enter Haiti, it did so not out of altruism, but for the quality of Haitian cocoa. "We know we have a good product — ancient variety, good terroir, organic by default," says Taza's sourcing manager, Jesse Last. "People will fall in love with the taste, and we hope that Haiti will benefit as it gains recognition as a source for fine-quality cacao." Taza is partnering with Whole Foods to market the bar, which it began producing this year.
PISA needs more buyers like Taza to grow its business and expand its environmental and social impact. Gilbert Gonzales, the Haitian entrepreneur who founded PISA four years ago as a subsidiary of the Haitian agro-industrial corporation REBO, estimates that PISA's exports will reach 160 metric tons (176 tons) this year, a sliver of the country's capacity.
Stone, who introduced Palette de Bine to PISA's high quality cocoa beans, says that is already starting to happen.
"We're in conversation with much larger chocolate makers that might not be at the Hershey's level, but they have significantly more buying power than craft chocolate makers," she says. Dandelion Chocolate, Raaka Chocolate and Valrhona Chocolate are a few.
Globally, the specialty chocolate market accounts for less than 1 percent of the estimated US$98.3 billion chocolate industry, according to Stone. Tiny, but growing. Uncommon Cacao, for example, has grown from selling 6 metric tons (7 tons) from one country in 2011 to over 200 metric tons (220 tons) from five countries in 2016, and from just two buyers in 2011 to over 90 in 2016.
Longer term, carbon markets may help expand agroforestry systems for cocoa in Haiti, says Elizabeth Teague at Root Capital. The Livelihoods Carbon Fund, for example, raises capital from investors who earn returns via carbon credits through the United Nations' Clean Development Mechanism or Verified Carbon Standard.
The fund is helping to finance a major reforestation project in Guatemala that aims to plant 5 million trees — citrus, coffee, cardamom and cocoa among them — over 4,000 hectares (10,000 acres). The project aims to sequester 2 million metric tons (2.2 million tons) of carbon dioxide and provide sustainable livelihoods for smallholder farmers.
Pur Projet in Peru offers another model. Started in 2008 by one of the founders of Alter Eco, the initiative is working to restore one of the most deforested regions of Peru in the heart of the Andean Amazon. Nearly 10,000 small-scale coffee and cocoa farmers spread across 21 communities are involved in the project, which has now reforested close to 1 million acres (close to 400,000 hectares) — an area larger than the state of Rhode Island.
Pur Projet is verified by both Verified Carbon Standard and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance standards for the carbon offset market. Project partners are in the process of registering close to 5 million acres (2 million hectares) of land, including both the reforested area and surrounding forest, as a Biosphere Reserve at UNESCO World Heritage. Registering the land with UNESCO will help protect the forest from development pressures and ensure that it remains a carbon sink.
Currently there are few such initiatives, says Teague, because "carbon markets are seen as unreliable." However, several major land restoration initiatives that view agroforestry as a prime solution have been gaining traction since COP 21. Initiative 20x20, for example, aims to reforest 20 million hectares (50 million acres) of degraded land in Latin America by 2020, and is a looking at agroforestry as one key approach.
But rebuilding Haiti's cocoa industry won't be enough to stop deforestation. Haitians need access to alternative, affordable fuel sources, such as propane or solar stoves.
Rebuilding Haiti's cocoa sector, and more broadly its agricultural capacity, can help provide those economic opportunities while also benefiting the environment.
