Q: Ubuntu Glossary - Dictionary of Commonly-Used Terms I see lots of words like "Super", "LTS", "Launcher" and others, and I'd like to know what they all mean.
What common jargon is there - and what does it mean?

A: Please edit this CW post to add new info that hasn't been covered. Try to keep it in sensible categories.
All images are clickable to make them larger.

This list was divided in three cateogies:

*

*UI elements and Interaction

*Technical

*General Jargon

1. UI elements and Interaction
Super
The Super Key is the equivalent to the Windows key on a keyboard, between Ctrl and Alt. We call it the Super Key because on a Mac it's the Command key, on Linux it varies and on Windows it is the Windows key:

Launcher
This is the "Dock" at the side of the screen where you access your applications. You can add and remove programs from it, and it will also show mounted USB pen drives and CDs / DVDs.
See questions tagged launcher
Dash / Show applications
The way to search Ubuntu for applications and documents. This also has the full list of installed applications - whereas the dock has a user defined subset of these.

On Windows, this is the start menu, and on OSX this is Spotlight:

 betanews and  MacStories
Panel / Notification Bar
This is the bar in the top of your screen.

Home Directory
The place with all your files. It will contain Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates and Videos. It is found in /home/username.
Ubuntu Software
This is the place to install Applications.

It acts as a graphical way to install programs from a safe place. It is like the App Store on OSX or the Store on Windows 8 +
Unity / Desktop Environment / Window Manager
The default Window Manager in (Vanilla) Ubuntu. This is what you see when you start up your computer and login:

This is GNOME Shell. Other Desktop Environments include Unity (17.04 and below), XFCE and KDE. There are more.

2. Technical
Dual Boot
Installing both Ubuntu and another Operating system (or version of Ubuntu) on the same computer. This can be achieved by installing on separate hard drives, or by partitioning one hard drive.
When installing Ubuntu, the current operating systems should be detected, and it will offer to install Ubuntu alongside it:

Image to installation types
Flavour / Distribution / Distro
Ubuntu is open source, which means anyone can take the code and change it or modify it and give it to other people. Some distributions include Ubuntu GNOME, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu MATE and Ubuntu Touch for mobile. The whole list can be found here.
Architecture
The processor type - 32 or 64 bit. This determines the download - either i386 or amd64.
64 bit processors can run 32 bit operating systems and programs, but not the other way round. Most modern computers are 64 bit, hence this is the recommended type to download.
Terminal / Command Line / TTY** and **Commands
The terminal is the graphical interface to the command line, with which you can execute commands.

This could be launching an application like firefox, removing a file with the rm command or searching through a file with cat and grep or sed.
TTY is also a command line - just a non graphical one. Note that you have to login to use this one. In fact, you do with the Terminal - you did it when you signed into your account.

Bash and Shell
Bash is the default shell in many Linux distributions. It stands for Bourne-Again SHell, and is Bourne shell with many additions. Shell is a command interpreter that executes commands.
BIOS
This is Ubuntu independent - the BIOS is built into every computer for setting up the basics - like choosing which hard drive to use and power management.
Repository
A repository is a software archive with programs that support Ubuntu in them. These are split into Main, Restricted, Universe and Multiverse. These simply contain different classes of programs - for example Multiverse is paid software, and Main is supported by Canonical.
See the Ubuntu Wiki for more information
3. General Jargon
Release(s)
Releases, or versions are each new iteration of Ubuntu. Currently, a new version is released every 6 months, in April and October. The version number (for example 14.04) tells you when it was released:

They also have a codename - for example 14.04 is Trusty Tahr. 14.10 was Utopic Unicorn - they go down the alphabet.
LTS - Long Term Support** also **LTS Release
LTS stands for Long Term Support. ¼ of Ubuntu releases are LTS releases - once every 2 years. The cycle is a follows:
16.04 - April 2016, LTS
16.10 - October 2016
17.04 - April 2017
17.10 - October 2017
18.04 - April 2018, LTS
18.10 - October 2018
19.04 - April 2019
19.10 - October 2019
20.04 - April 2020, LTS

The version numbers are simply examples. LTS releases are supported for 5 years from the release date (meaning you can upgrade to the next LTS release, or even the one after that). A non LTS release is supported for 9 months, so you have time to get the next release before it is EoL (see below).
Supported means it gets security and other updates from canonical. It is highly recommended that you use a supported release.
EoL - End of Life
When a release is no longer supported, it becomes End of Life. See above for what changes.
Open source
Ubuntu is open source. This means the source code of it is available for modification or enhancement by anyone.
Package Manager
The package manager (DPKG in Ubuntu) is a built-in utility designed to streamline app management. You can browse, install, and remove software with this.
The software centre uses this - it's a graphical interface for dpkg.
Root and sudo
Root is the equivalent of Administrator in Windows. It has the power to do anything - like erase the hard drive, change config files and adjust the time.
In Ubuntu, there is no "root" user. Instead, sudo is used. Any command with "sudo" before it (for example sudo nano) will be executed as root.
Users in the "sudoers" list can execute sudo commands.
The root home directory is simply /root - it is not found in /home/root.

Any images not attributed are created by a contributor to this post.

A: Much of the jargon that you hear related to Ubuntu may as well be shared with other Linux distros, such as launcher, shell, terminal, release - all these can be found in other distros as well.
What I would suggest you do is pick up a book related to Ubuntu, such as Ubuntu Unleashed, The Official Ubuntu book, or Ubuntu Linux Toolbox, and read through them; as you read you will pick up all the necessary vocabulary.
Coming back to general distro information, I would suggest learning what makes Ubuntu different from other distros - such as package-managers ( Ubuntu uses apt and dpkg, while Fedora and RHEL used to have rpm and yum , Arch uses pacman), default init system ( prior to 15.04 release Ubuntu used upstart, but now is switching to systemd ), desktop environment and desktop manager ( one is the actual desktop, such as Unity for Ubuntu, but the other is login screen such as lightdm), client vs server.
A big portion of using any Linux system is terminal , which is similar to Windows' command line ( cmd.exe ), but much more powerful and flexible. Use UNIX Shells by Example by Ellie Quigley - this book helped me a great deal in learning command line. You will pick up vocabulary such as variables, shell , terminal emulator, regex , and will learn about many useful tools such as find, xargs , for and while loops, awk, sed,.

Paid for Xmarks Lately?
December 19, 2010 by jason Leave a Comment
In early December LastPass announced that it had purchased Xmarks. My initial impression was this seemed like a good fit product-wise, and frankly I was glad it seemed the product was saved. A couple days after reading the announcement I paid for the upgrade to the premium version. I had previously tried, but not really used LastPass (haven't had a reason to stop using KeePass.) The bundled offering to purchase both Xmarks and LastPass was only a few dollars more than Xmarks alone, so I spent the ~$20 and got both. For those of you that were upset or pledged to donate to Xmarks, have you purchased a license yet, or are you waiting to see what happens?

Xmarks is currently a free application that I'd pay for. Unfortunately I might never get that opportunity, which boggles me. How can an application that reportedly has 2 million users on 5 million systems, a good product, and apparently strong supporters, not survive in some form or another?
Xmarks (originally Foxmarks) can among other things backup and sync bookmarks across Firefox, Safari, IE, and Chrome, and across multiple platforms. As I write this their website reports they just hit 1,220,022,504 bookmarks backed up, and the counter keeps growing. I like Xmarks because it solves a specific problem I had and does an effective job in my opinion. Admittedly I rarely use the search or web-based backup access, but it does exactly what I need it to do.
Recently Xmarks announced that they will have to close shop, letting their sync services run for another 90+ days, with the plan to pull the plug after that. Their blog posting currently has over 1,500 comments, many of which state something to the effect of, "we'd gladly pay a small fee to use Xmarks."
Xmarks commented on things they considered for a revenue model, as well as ways they explored what they could do with the data. Ultimately it appears they have no choice, and for some reason paying for the service itself wasn't listed as an option:
For four years we have offered the synchronization service for no charge, predicated on the hypothesis that a business model would emerge to support the free service. With that investment thesis thwarted, there is no way to pay expenses, primarily salary and hosting costs. Without the resources to keep the service going, we must shut it down.
If 20% of their users paid $5 a year, that's $2,000,000. My assumption is either the payroll and hosting costs are so high they can't meet that, that they don't really have that many potential paying customers, or they don't want to be in the sync business. Or maybe there's something else I'm missing. Regardless, here's hoping something good happens with the code and intellectual property. I could see the solution becoming peer-to-peer or decentralized to address bandwidth issues, or someone like Abine or Evernote acquiring the technology and incorporating it into their offerings.

Interview With Abine
This is the second part of a two-part review of Abine's privacy solution. See the previous post, Abine to Protect Privacy for the first part of the review.
Rob Shavell from Abine and I discussed some questions about Abine's application, the company itself, and the future.
J: In June this year Abine purchased TACO. How did that come about, what was the process like, and was this something that Abine had always considered pursuing?
R: It's really not about economics: Abine wants to support privacy-enhancing technologies. We've always been open to working with other privacy add-ons that do the right things for users. Any add-on or Web service that truly respects users privacy is someone we want to talk to, no matter what. On the other hand, we don't want to partner with add-ons owned by advertising companies, or developers looking to collect data, for example. If any add-on developers who love privacy read this, please get in touch with us – my email is rob at getabine.com
J: TACO v3 has already received some updates. How does Abine anticipate TACO evolving in the future?
R: TACO is evolving fast and is getting more development time and resources. TACO users have told us over 300 changes they'd like, and we're busy at work with these. We also support the older TACO 2 versions, BEEF TACO, etc. Of course, we are 100% convinced that TACO 2. alone doesn't provide an adequate level of online privacy and users should consider combining a few add-ons together or try TACO 3 with Abine to get better privacy online.
J: What are somethings you've all learned along the way since starting Abine?
R: Bringing together privacy features into one place is complex. The users and developers giving us critical feedback are our best teachers. We also learned that we must commit to native Firefox development even though we have an IE version as well. Performance is too important – the community let us hear that one pretty loudly.
J: Who is Abine's target demographic?
R: We want to target the non-technical web user. Anybody who uses the web for anything at all or that has a bundle of important accounts they want to protect and keep private.
J: How do you plan to instill trust in your users?
R: We aren't asking users to trust us. We're asking them to trust themselves. By this we mean something very important. We have no access to our users data. This is super important. First, our users "own their data" – of course. But we also do NOT store or see our users private data. This is a key reason why many of our users today store all their passwords in our Privacy Suite and do all their browsing using Abine: they don't have to make any complicated decisions about who they can trust: it's simply, factually, technically, more private.
Other key points on trust:
We are very clear about how we are going to make money: by selling services that protect and enhance your privacy, not by selling user data.
You keep your data on your computer, we don't use the add-on to collect data.
We made the source available for review by Mozilla and others.
J: With regards to instilling trust, I'd agree that you're not directly asking users to trust Abine. Given the stated target demographic (non-technical users) their basis for trusting the application may be different from say, a security researcher or coder that might review code and sniff traffic. As a result, they may make an evaluation of trustworthiness based on your website, usability, or how Abine communicates with them. There's the notion that trust is a function of competence plus likability. An example I see of this is people trusting Google based on their performance, actions, and statements rather than their code, or people trusting Mint.com based on good design and the fact that it does what they want it to. For less savvy users, what do you see as challenges in establishing and maintaining a good reputation in order to grow the business?
R: Great points. Regular users of course can't do technical reviews of applications. They'll need to trust the technical reviews and press. This is why we make our code available to reviewers who ask for it even though we haven't open-sourced it yet. It's really important for people – no matter how technical they are – to have a basis to trust a company with their personal information. A somewhat more unfortunate way users learn about how Abine does what it says is when they lose their Abine Master Password: since we really don't know it, they have to re-install!
J: You history mentions working on previous startups and security projects. What were some of those efforts?
R: Andrew was at @stake as well as the create of linux-based public access terminals in the Boston are in the mid-to-late 90s. Eugene was the founder of Datapower and the Linux Hardware Database. Rob helped companies comply with data privacy laws and worked on products for consumer identity protection at Identity Force.
J: The Abine website mentions companies "helping people" that were basically slick marketing outfits out to get cash. What are some examples, and what should people look out for?
R: We think consumers should beware of many "identity protection and monitoring services", "million dollar guarantees" and "free 10 day trials". As always, when the marketers come visiting, these kinds of terms pop up. In reality, while these subscription services can help you track down problems once and a while after they happen, they do not address the root causes of privacy. If you're using these kinds of things, come try Abine. It's free, and free forever (not just for 10 days).
J: What is the relationship between opyaq.com and Abine?
R: Opayq.com is simply the first of several domains we offer for our users to have safe disposable email addresses (similar to say, www.Mailinator.com.)
J: After purchasing TACO, Abine received some mixed feedback from users regarding the upgrade to version 3.
R: Check out the page and the copy on it, it's as clear as our team could possibly make it:
Add-ons for Firefox – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11073/
What are we thinking? Abine PrivacySuite product strategy – http://getabine.com/wordpress/?p=469
J: Why is Abine better than other established solutions used for privacy such as LastPass, Tor, RoboForm, or Google Voice?
R: Now Jason, we love your insightful reviews, but we have to take issue with this question! LastPass stores your passwords online (see your trust question) and Google Voice is the opposite of a privacy product, right? Tor does one thing (and well) and is probably a future partner of ours. The time has come for a company to integrate privacy features and make them available to everyday users, with fantastic customer support.
J: Where does the name Abine come from?
R: For privacy… A Bit Is Not Enough
J: What is your revenue model?
R: We are going to make our money selling additional products and services that directly protect and enhance users privacy, for example fast proxy servers, disposable phone numbers, etc. Whatever value-added services people want around privacy will offer as a business. If it costs us money to provide than we will charge, if it doesn't than we can offer for free.
J: Are there any plans for a version of Abine for Safari, Chrome, or mobile devices?
R: Yes. We'll be making announcements here in the next few months, for sure. We have a looong waiting list of users that want this on their browser and platform of choice.
J: Does the eventual shift to HTML5 have any impact on Abine or its functionality?
R: We see HTML5 as having only a minor impact on our vision and technology roadmap at this point, though some of the demos out there are pretty impressive.
J: What do you see as upcoming challenges for Abine?
R: Because of recent press and users concerns, we expect a lot of competition. We just want to stay close to the community that cares about their online privacy and to take our direction from them instead of worrying about others.
J: What do you see as some upcoming milestones for Abine in the next 6-12 months?
R: Abine's got to earn the respect of the privacy and technical community by building a great set of solutions. We're totally focused on product: performance, simplification, better smoother features, in short, online privacy that works.

July 17, 2010 by jason 1 Comment
This is part 1 of a 2 part article on Abine. Part 2 will cover a Q & A session with the team at Abine.
Rob Shavell form Abine contacted me after reading a Mint.com article I wrote, and wondered if I would be interested in reviewing their new solution that's currently in beta testing, along with their website and anything else that might be relevant. According to their website, Abine was founded in 2008 and "provides Internet privacy solutions for consumers. Abine's products and services allow regular people to regain control over their personal information while continuing to browse, interact and shop online."
General Observations About Abine
My only knowledge of Abine other than a few email exchanges was their website initially. If we assume that trust is in large part a function of competence and likability, then it's important for Abine to make a crisp, professional impression in order to garner user's trust. I initially found broken links, confusing navigation, typos, spelling and grammatical errors, and missing information. However, the website has since gone through many updates and improvements, with most of the issues I saw corrected. If you haven't visited the site in the last month or so, take a look.
Documentation refers to the software somewhat inconsistently. In some places it is referred to as a browser plug-in. In other places, a suite, and yet others a collection of privacy apps and spam protection. Before installing,I wasn't quite sure what I was going to get.
What Can Abine Do For You?
Abine installed as a Firefox plug-in. So far I've tried it on both Mac and Windows. With the latest release there is now an IE version available as well. Essentially it allows you to do the following
Turn on and off various privacy settings
Manage and generate passwords
Manage and shield personal information tied to the various privacy applications
Create and manage "shield" email accounts and alternate identities
Integrate additional purchased features and third-party apps
Submit the managed information to websites automatically
See what cookies sites are setting and block them
See a gauge of how "safe" Abine thinks the website is from a privacy perspective
Opt out of ad networks
Sign up for Hushmail serivces
Sign up for web proxy services
Im my opinion, Abine's possibly unsung strength is its ability to help support and enforce best practices with regard to security, browsing, and privacy. It puts several useful solutions in one place and helps you to use them. See below for more comments on this.
It's not entirely clear how Abine determines how "safe" a site is from a privacy perspective. When tested on various sites, it reported the following risk levels:
Low Privacy Risk
Twit.TV
GRC.com
CIA.gov
Medium Privacy Risk
Disney.go.com
I didn't turn up any high risk sites, but I didn't really want to look to hard for those either. Ironically, when I first pointed Abine at its own website during testing, Abine did not report the website as safe. I've noticed with the latest update however that it is now registering at the lowest risk level.
As a good example, when testing the privacy info feature I went to TMZ. This was the first time I'd ever been to the site. According to Abine, TMZ's home page tried to put 150 cookies and 16 ad networks on my system.
The Abine website provides some educational information regarding how you can be tracked online. The recommendations are sound, however none of them currently are accomplished using the application directly:
Block third-party cookies
Prevent unwanted JavaScript from loading
Don't keep browser history
Know that your IP address can be tracked and correlated with other logging to determine where you go on the internet.
There were some other features of the Abine interface I found helpful. The privacy popup window that displays when you first visit a site shows usueful information, including a like to any recent data breaches associated with the site.
Up For Debate
The site makes some statements that I think need clarification or refinement.
"Safer and easier because you own everything." I don't understand that statement. I own my information now, and don't see how then application would change that. It does seem to make it easier to manage information having it in one place, but I don't see how I am safer when using Abine itself. Also, it's not an objective statement to equate privacy with safety. In some situations this could be true, but not always.
Abine implies it can help prevent identity theft. It also draws a correlation between increased privacy and less spam. Remember, you're still providing information but in a controlled manner. The info is still released once you submit it, and whether it's your real account or a shielded one, you can still end up receiving spam on that email address. If you submit your email to a site that would eventually end up in some type of spam, whether or not you submit that info from Abine isn't relevant. In my opinion what is beneficial is how you use the tool, not just the tool itself. If you're using the same passwords everywhere, and especially if they're weak, keeping them in a safe place doesn't help.
Problems and Weakness
Unprotected by Default
The data file where information is stored is encrypted with 256 bit AES. In order to protect your information though you need to remember to enable a master password in the security preferences. If you don't do this, password, credit card data etc. you enter into Abine will not be protected on the desktop. Once a someone opens your browser, they would have access to your information and your profiles.
Good Potential but Chaotic Complicated Interface
Mentioned above, one of the benefits of Abine is that it provides a lot of tools to help manage your privacy. The interface in my opinion however has some major flaws with usability and branding
Inconsistent and overly complicated interface
Seeming unnecessary mechanics to turn on and enable/disable features
Visual presentation, GUI, and branding inconsistent with Abine's website
Hard to determine who the target audience is
The two major challenges I see for Abine right now are a) determining their target audience and designing for them, and b) refining the interface to reinforce the ability to simply, safely, and quickly protect your privacy online.
Profile Not Easily Portable
One of the things that makes apps like Evernote, Xmarks, and DropBox so useful for me is their ubiquity and their ability to sync across browsers, platforms, and devices. Xmarks for example allows me to maintain one set of bookmark information and sync it securely across Firefox, Chrome, and IE and on multiple OSs. If a user had the ability to do that with Abine, and potentially use it via a browser when using a potentially unsafe computer, it would be that much better. Maybe this would make a great upgrade or paid feature of the application.
Download the latest beta version of Abine and give it a try. Even if you don't want to enter credit card information and passwords, the cookie, ad blocking, and form entry functions are helpful. And give Abine feedback. They seem genuinely interested in what people have to say and making their product as good as possible.
For Abine, IMHO here are some ideas that could help optimize the solution for users
Lead with benefits to users rather than the tool and what it does, and educate users
Define your audience and design your tool and content for them
Simplify would be the biggest recommendation overall. If the target demographic ends up being the average user, then Abine needs to be a simple tool that "just works." Make it powerful enough so that advanced users can do as much as they want while at the same time making the interface intuitive enough that it doesn't deter users from taking advantage of the protection that Abine can help maintain.

Video: Theology Professor Robin Jensen on Understanding Early Christian Art and Architecture
Author: Todd Boruff
"It's my conviction that the best way to know about how early Christians worshipped — even what they believed — is to try to get as much information as we can about where they lived and what they saw, not just what they wrote and what they read," said Robin Jensen, the Patrick O'Brien Professor of Theology and fellow of the Medieval Institute at the University of Notre Dame.
Jensen researches topics at the intersections of Christian art, architecture, liturgy, and theology. Her forthcoming book, The Cross: History, Art, and Controversy (Harvard University Press), examines the history of the cross from a variety of liturgical and social perspectives, both in ancient times and in contemporary culture. She is also editing both The Routledge Companion to Early Christian Art and The Cambridge History of Late Antique Archaeology.
For her next project, Jensen has been looking at the design of early built spaces for Christian worship.
"Spaces have character. Spaces have personality," she said. "Awareness of the design of the spaces in which worship took place gives us a richer and more robust understanding of everybody's experience."

What a fun family session! I had the honor of photographing the beautiful Nieva-Whitehead family inside an empty Busch Stadium on a St. Louis summer evening in late August! These girls have magical smiles and even more brilliant personalities and Mom and Dad are as sweet (and patient) as can be with their four sweeties.
One of my favorite parts was seeing the girls giggle and be silly with Mom and Dad.
This frame captures pure chaos, perfectly!
This family shot in the dugout is one of my all time favorites. I love that Dad kept telling the girls the history of the great players that had stood in this very spot and the girls just went on laughing, dancing and climbing on the benches and stairs.
I've got to say, I'm a little jealous of this family portrait!
We were not allowed to touch even a blade of grass so we made due by walking the warning track.
Are these not the cutest little Cardinal fans you have ever seen? You can't help but smile seeing them run around with all the energy in the world.
Thanks again to Jessica, Abe and their beautiful kiddos for all the smiles and memory of this summer night together.
Here is a slideshow video telling the story of our evening. Enjoy!

Cross & Cross (1907–1942) fue un estudio de arquitectura con sede en la ciudad de Nueva York fundado por los hermanos John Walter Cross y Eliot Cross.

Historia
Cross & Cross era conocido como el estudio de arquitectura elegido por Old New York City Society. John Cross (1878–1951) estudió arquitectura en la Universidad de Columbia y en la École des Beaux-Arts de París y se desempeñó como la mitad creativa de la asociación, mientras que Eliot Cross (1884–1949) se centró en el desarrollo del negocio, en particular a través de su papel como presidente de la junta directiva de la firma de desarrollo inmobiliario de Webb and Knapp, que organizó en 1922. Las dos firmas compartieron espacio de oficinas en el edificio Knapp en Madison Avenue. En 1942, John Cross fue elegido miembro de la Academia Nacional de Diseño como académico asociado.

Q: Is there a better way to do a 4 bits circular shifting? is this the optimal way of doing a 4 bits circular shifting?

    n << 1 ^ 0x10 | n >> 3

I was only testing with number that was actually "working"!

A: Did you actually try this?  It is non-optimal, it generates garbage results.  This ought to work better:
    static int RollLeft4Bits(int n) {
        return ((n << 1) & 15) | ((n >> 3) & 1);
    }

A: Looks pretty good to me. But if you are really that concerned about optimisation, then try compiling this and any alternatives you have, and then using ildasm or Reflector to look at the IL generated to see for sure.

A: You could also generate a lookup table of every possible value and the shifted result.  Then just use the input as an index into the lookup table to get the desired result

How British Business Bank has provided Midlands and Northern SMEs with more than £50m of green investment
Since launch the two funds have helped 45 businesses in their plans to help the UK meet its net-zero targets

SMEs in the Midlands and North have received more than £50 million of green investment from the Midlands Engine Investment Fund and Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund, according to new figures.
The two investment bodies – regional funds of the British Business Bank – have been able to help small and medium sized companies reduce their carbon footprint and develop new technologies to help tackle climate change.
Since the two funds were launched management say they have helped 45 businesses in their plans to help the UK meet its net-zero targets.
Both organisations are working with fund managers, councils, local enterprise partnerships, growth hubs and public and private sector bodies to deliver finance from the funds and private sector investors.
It comes after the UK Government agreed a revised target of reducing national emissions by 78 per cent by 2035 – which will become law by the end of June.
The British Business Bank said several northern and Midlands' areas and sub-regions have made commitments to reaching the targets much sooner.
The Midlands region aims to leads the way in the green growth and low carbon transition, notably by its current work in developing sustainable solutions, such as East Midlands Development Corporation, freeports and a focus on offshore wind and hydrogen, battery technologies, carbon-neutral transport, decarbonisation and zero-carbon growth.
The business bank said the West Midlands Combined Authority estimates that 21,000 new jobs could be created in the region over the next five years, or 92,000 by 2041.
It said increased demand for renewables and low carbon technologies could also enable the Midlands to tap into a larger pool of 1.7 million new green jobs – half of which are likely to be located in the Midlands, the North and Scotland.
Investment by the MEIF supporting the low-carbon agenda in the West Midlands has included a £250,000 funding package for Earth Rover.
The Shropshire start-up is using cutting-edge technologies to help farmers improve crop yields and reduce food waste.
In the East Midlands, the fund recently provided £130,000 to Lincolnshire-based Exuvi8 which specialises in designing and deploying energy-efficient data centres.
Patrick Magee, chief commercial officer at the British Business Bank, said: "Through the British Business Bank's regional funds, we are actively supporting businesses that are contributing to the UK's low-carbon agenda.
"In the Midlands, finance from the MEIF is enabling businesses to create and commercialise new sustainable technologies, become more sustainable or energy efficient, while also helping wider industries to decarbonise.
"Our intention is to continue utilising both the MEIF and NPIF to help green and sustainable businesses grow in the Midlands and North.
"We recognise the potential of these businesses in not only helping the UK hit net-zero, but creating new jobs and economic growth."
Sir John Peace, chairman of the Midlands Engine, said: "SMEs make up 99.6 per cent of companies operating in the Midlands.
"The lifeblood of our economy, they will underpin our region's recovery from the pandemic, allowing us to build back better, stronger and, crucially, greener.
"They must be enabled to thrive and to this end we're trialling new models of sustainable finance, such as green bonds, to unlock green sector funding and support our businesses.
"The Midlands Engine is the first pan-regional partnership in the UK to propose how stakeholders from right across our region will come together to deliver the Government's ten point plan for a green industrial revolution.
"Our own forthcoming ten point plan for green growth in the Midlands Engine will enable us to develop our post-Covid-19, post-EU-exit economy in a sustainable way that also addresses inequality and the levelling up agenda.
"It is how we will effectively accelerate our, and the UK's, path to net-zero."
The Midlands Engine Investment Fund project is supported financially by the European Union using funding from the European Regional Development Fund as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2020 and the European Investment Bank.

Sierra Supply and Packaging opened for business in March of 1996. Larry Johnson, President, worked for a paper company in Georgia right out of college while Christie, his wife, worked for the Trane Company in Vidalia, Georgia. A few years later, Larry took a job with a paper company in Tyler, Texas and Christie taught in a local high school. When the company Larry worked for began to close operations in East Texas, Larry was left with few options. So, in order to continue to serve his customers, Larry and Christie decided to start a paper and packaging distribution business. Sierra Packaging opened for business with a small warehouse and a staff of two.
God opened doors and provided great customers and vendors for Sierra Packaging. After a short time, the business was moved to a larger warehouse. A delivery driver and additional sales reps were hired. Sierra Packaging kept growing. Once the business outgrew the second warehouse, a new facility was built at our current location on Highway 31, just west of Tyler. Now with a seasoned sales team and a great customer service/delivery team, we take care of customers all over the East Texas region.
In 2013, we added Supply to our name to express the diversity we now offer to our customers. Sierra Supply and Packaging now provides products for the entire facility. We carry jan/san, production, packaging, safety and office supplies—providing solutions from the front door to the loading dock.


The hard fork creates two competing chains, and an unclear future for the cryptocurrency.
When Thursday finally arrived, the long-anticipated hard fork of bitcoin cash (BCH) looked less like an all-out war, as some had feared, and more like the start of a race. Whether it winds up being a sprint or a marathon, though, remains to be seen.
A hard fork occurs when the protocols that govern a blockchain are upgraded, essentially replacing the old blockchain software with new code in order to address security issues or change course. When the blockchain's participants don't agree, however, completely new chains can be spun off as a result. That's what happened Thursday after it became clear large players in the bitcoin cash community were at odds over the upgrade, splitting the crpytocurrency's blockchain into two.
The dispute between rival bitcoin cash camps is convoluted and involves a who's who of large players.
To hear bitcoin backers tell it, these kinds of schisms aren't a bug but are a feature of bitcoin and the broader blockchain ecosystem. Bitcoin cash was the end product of an August 2017 hard fork of the original bitcoin blockchain involving similar questions about block size and, more broadly, the purpose of the cryptocurrency.
Technically, block 556766 was the last one mined before the hard fork occurred at 1:02 p.m. EST Thursday. From that moment on, livestreams and Twitter feeds breathlessly provided up-to-the-minute updates on the progress of Bitcoin SV and Bitcoin ABC, the two rival chains created in the wake of the hard fork, tracking each time a new block was mined on either chain. As of Thursday evening in the U.S., fears of significant intentional sabotage across the chains hadn't materialized, and it appeared both sides were settling in for the long haul, continuing to mine their respective chains.
For the most part, cryptocurrency exchanges were holding their breath, essentially pausing transactions in bitcoin cash until clarity emerges. Some bitcoin cash-focused companies, like Money Button, created temporary measures to keep them operational.
The dispute between rival bitcoin cash camps is convoluted and involves a who's who of large players, including mining hardware producer Bitmain, which is a large bitcoin cash miner in its own right and is loosely affiliated with the ABC chain, and nChain chief scientist Craig Wright, who has claimed to be bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto (the SV chain stands for "Satoshi's Vision").
Technically, the schism involves questions about the block size of each transaction, but broader philosophical questions, including ones about the frequency of hard forks, also drove the rift.
Up to the moment of the hard fork, it appeared that most of the mining power (or hash rate) was lining up on the side of Bitcoin SV. Yet, the balance of mining power appears to have seesawed back and forth following the fork. The nodes driving the processing of blockchain transactions, however, tell a different story. ABC had the lion's share of the nodes supporting its implementation of bitcoin cash as of Thursday evening, with 1,105 nodes to SV's 192. Another large-scale implementation, bitcoin unlimited, has nearly 800 nodes but has generally aligned itself with ABC.
However, it's not clear whether the two rival blockchains will continue to operate side by side for the long haul or – if that happens – whether cryptocurrency exchanges will choose one or offer both to customers. By Friday morning, several exchanges, including Bitfinex and Poloniex, were distributing both coins to bitcoin cash holders but holding off on assigning the BCH ticker to either. Nor is it clear whether the turmoil will contribute to price drops for the original bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
An informal Twitter poll by Money Button CEO Ryan X. Charles had participants nearly evenly split on whether the schism would take a day or a week to resolve, although slightly more fell in the longer camp, and some thought it could take a year. But blockchain purists urge observers to take the long view.
"The bitcoin cash fork drama is somewhat amusing and debatably educational to observe from a distance, but essentially meaningless to ongoing bitcoin protocol and application development," Voell tells ThirtyK.

I think this is rather an accurate assessment of Holden and the impact that Phoebe has on him. One indicator that Holden lives in a world of his own chosing is that he considers everything he doesn't like or agree with to be "phony." What shows that he is to subjective is that he ignores the way that his own character is "phony" and inconsistent. What is interesting about the role of Phoebe is that she seems in someways to be the opposite to Holden, as she loves life and takes great enjoyment in it. In fact, Phoebe tells her brother off for his disenchantment with life and the way that he is unable to enjoy it. Phoebe, therefore in a sense helps act as a catalyst to bring Holden to a point of crisis, as he immensely values the opinion of Phoebe, and considers her to be the only person who can understand him and with whom he can communicate. She, according to her brother, is the one non-phony character in the book.
Let us also remember that it is the sight of Phoebe riding the carousel in the penultimate chapter that makes Holden, for the first time in the novel, ecstatically happy and brings him to the point of breakdown. Therefore, it is entirely accurate to say that Phoebe acts as a catalyst upon the character of her brother.

What is Holden's view of women and girls in The Catcher in the Rye? I need at least one quote for support.


I'm excited to say the favas are here! And while I know this large colander, when fully processed, will only amount to about a cup of edible beans, I'm still totally stoked. There are quite a few pods left to be picked so these will go into the freezer once they're shelled and peeled until all the beans are harvested.
The lettuce is still going gangbusters, and the zucchini should be ready to start harvesting in just a few days. I'm looking forward to stocking my freezer full of zucchini bread to eat throughout the winter–lightly toasted with butter. Yum!
The beets are much further along than I was expecting for this point in the year. I may even have enough for my first batch of pickles, which is exciting, and a little annoying because it's supposed to be above 90 degrees for the next 2 weeks and I'm not looking forward to standing over a huge pot of boiling water for hours on end.

on 17 February 2016 .
© 2016 AU-IBAR. Vulnerable livestock-keeping communities in Kajiado County, Kenya.Livestock experts from the Greater Horn of Africa (GHoA) under the framework of the Standard methods and Procedures in Animal health Project (SMP-AH) have agreed, during their annual review and planning meeting, on high impact activities to control transboundary animal diseases (TADs) in cross-border areas in the GHoA. Cross-border areas within the GHoA support a large number of vulnerable livestock-keeping communities that normally experience a number of shocks, most importantly drought. Because of drought conditions, animals reared in such environments move across borders in search of pasture and water. Likewise, animals in such areas move for purposes of trade. This kind of movement for either pasture or trade facilitates spread of transboundary animal diseases. It is therefore important for communities in cross-border areas to collaborate, coordinate and harmonize diseases control.
The Standard Methods and Procedures in Animal Health (SMP-AH) Project activities will involve supporting communities to detect and report disease incidents to facilitate prompt and appropriate disease response such as vaccination campaigns in cross-border areas. The capacity of the veterinary services to undertake surveillance, disease control and information sharing will be enhanced. The overall aim is to enhance livestock productivity, trade, livelihoods and resilience of vulnerable groups found in cross-border areas.
The review and planning meeting was held in Dar-es-Salam, Tanzania from 8th to 9th February 2016 and attracted a total of 21 experts drawn from Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR), IGAD Centre for Pastoral Areas and Livestock Development (ICPALD).
The SMP-AH Project, with financial support from USAID/Kenya East Africa is implemented in nine countries in GHoA, i.e. Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. The intention of the project is to improve harmonization and coordination of disease prevention and control in the GHoA, in order to create uniform conditions necessary for safe trade with an appropriate level of protection; ease movement of livestock across national borders for trade; enhance food and nutritional security and growth of national economies.

Writers at the Wrecking Bar Presents Kristen Roupenian | You Know You Want This
Tuesday, Jan 22, 2019 7:00 PM
Wrecking Bar Brewpub
292 Moreland Ave, Atlanta, GA 30307
The author of the hit New Yorker story "Cat Person"—"the short story that launched a thousand theories" (The Guardian)—Kristen Roupenian brings her highly anticipated debut to Atlanta.
"You Know You Want This" is a compulsively readable collection of short stories that explore the complex—and often darkly funny—connections between gender, sex, and power across genres. We cannot think of a better addition to an already stellar list of literary phenoms who have been a part of our Writers at the Wrecking Bar series.
Roupenian will be interviewed by Alison Law, host of the Literary Atlanta podcast.
Musical guest Kim Ware of the Good Graces will open the evening with a live set at 7 p.m.
"You Know You Want This" brilliantly explores the ways in which women are horrifying as much as it captures the horrors that are done to them. Among its pages are a couple who becomes obsessed with their friend hearing them have sex, then seeing them have sex…until they can't have sex without him; a ten-year-old whose birthday party takes a sinister turn when she wishes for "something mean"; a woman who finds a book of spells half hidden at the library and summons her heart's desire: a nameless, naked man; and a self-proclaimed "biter" who dreams of sneaking up behind and sinking her teeth into a green-eyed, long-haired, pink-cheeked coworker.
Spanning a range of genres and topics—from the mundane to the murderous and supernatural—these are stories about sex and punishment, guilt and anger, the pleasure and terror of inflicting and experiencing pain. These stories fascinate and repel, revolt and arouse, scare and delight in equal measure. And, as a collection, they point a finger at you, daring you to feel uncomfortable—or worse, understood—as if to say, "You want this, right? You know you want this."

Kristen Roupenian graduated from Barnard College and holds a Ph.D. in English from Harvard, as well as an MFA from the Helen Zell Writers' Program at the University of Michigan. She is the author of the short story, "Cat Person," which was published in The New Yorker and selected by Sheila Heti for The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2018. She is currently at work on a novel.
