In human computer interactions — especially gaming — the role of empathy has been mooted as a necessary prerequisite for higher levels of engagement and immersion. More recently other forms of engagement, including intellectual/cognitive engagement, have been proposed. In this study we present a carefully controlled dataset of human-computer interactions with a wide range of stimuli that ranged from highly engaging to boring to test these two theories. Analyzing 844 response sets to visual analogue scales (VAS) for empathy, interest, boredom, and engagement, we found that high empathy was sufficient for high engagement but is not necessary, whilst the converse was not true. We also found that empathy and boredom were incompatible with each other, but low levels of either were permissive rather than causal to the other. We conclude that there is no monotonic relationship between increasing empathy and engagement; either empathy is a sufficient (but not necessary) cause of engagement, or engagement is a necessary precursor to high empathy.

Le mot « islamo-gauchisme » est un néologisme péjoratif désignant une proximité supposée entre des idéologies, personnalités ou partis de gauche et les milieux musulmans, voire islamistes. Il est principalement utilisé en France, où il est popularisé notamment par l'extrême droite. Composé du préfixe « islamo- » et du nom « gauchisme », il a été créé par Pierre-André Taguieff en 2002, dans le contexte spécifique de la seconde intifada, et a ensuite été repris par diverses personnalités médiatiques, intellectuelles, universitaires ou politiques pour dénoncer la proximité et le laxisme supposés de certaines figures françaises de gauche envers l'islam ou l'islamisme.

Origine du terme
En France, le terme « islamo-gauchiste » apparaît pour la première fois sous la plume du sociologue Pierre-André Taguieff en 2002 dans l'ouvrage La Nouvelle Judéophobie. Il y définit cette expression comme un militantisme d'extrême gauche qui, lors de la seconde Intifadah, s'oppose à la politique de l'Etat d'Israël vis-à-vis des Palestiniens et au nom de la « lutte contre l'impérialisme » fait  alliance avec des islamistes favorables au nationalisme palestinien. Pour lui, ce rapprochement vient de ce que ces militants d'extrême gauche perçoivent les musulmans comme une minorité opprimée de manière systémique par les non-musulmans, et ce à l'échelle mondiale. Taguieff affirme que ce rapprochement contre la politique sioniste d'Israël est chez certains, marqué par de l'anti-sémitisme.

Tanguieff considère que c'est Chris Harman, dirigeant trotskiste du Parti socialiste des travailleurs au Royaume-Uni, qui a été le premier militant de gauche à avoir théorisé un rapprochement entre les ambitions révolutionnaires marxistes et celles liées à l'Islam et à la Palestine. Le terme n'est cependant jamais utilisé par ce dernier, et c'est bien en France que le terme a fait flores ; Christian Delporte, professeur d'histoire contemporaine, explique à France 24 en 2017 :
Marine Le Pen l'utilise en 2012 à la suite des attentats commis par Mohammed Merah, et ses mots sont repris dans la presse internationale : . Du côté des médias, Le Monde note que la première apparition dans ses colonnes remonte à l'automne 2004.

Le terme est utilisé par Manuel Valls pour discréditer son concurrent à la primaire citoyenne de 2017 du Parti socialiste Benoît Hamon, dont le directeur de campagne considèrera qu'il s'attendait plutôt à

Origines évoquées du rapprochement
D'après le journaliste Amir Behnam Massoumi,  une des origines de l'islamo-gauchisme se trouverait dans l'Iran des années 1970, avec le front commun créé entre un courant de la gauche iranienne et l'islam révolutionnaire pour faire face à la dictature de Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Cette « gauche islamique » était notamment représentée par Massoud Radjavi et le philosophe Ali Shariati. Selon Ali Shariati, l'islam contiendrait par nature une dynamique contre la tyrannie et en faveur de la liberté, l'égalité et l'émancipation des femmes et des hommes. Cette théorie aurait significativement contribué au programme "socialiste de la révolution iranienne de 1978-1979, conduisant le régime islamique de Khomeini à promettre la nationalisation des industries et à donner la priorité à la justice sociale .

Une autre origine de l'islamo-gauchisme se trouverait au Royaume-Uni ou l'idée selon laquelle l'Islam pourrait contribuer à faire émerger un mouvement révolutionnaire a été développée au sein de l'extrême-gauche. Chris Harman, confronté à cette perception par la gauche du renouveau islamique, l'analyse dans son article «  » (1994). Il commence par soutenir l'idée que , ce qui a contribué à aider les islamistes à croître aux dépens de la gauche dans la majorité du Moyen-Orient. L'historien distingue cette erreur à l'international de la compréhension qu'il propose de l'islamisme tel qu'il se développe dans les pays occidentaux. Celui-ci est pour lui  et appelle la gauche à se battre pour gagner certains de ses jeunes partisans à une autre perspective très différente, . Ainsi, il n'exclut pas l'unité d'action avec les islamistes dans les pays où ils sont dominés :Pierre-André Taguieff déplore depuis son usage « à toutes les sauces ».

Usage du terme dans la vie politique française
Le terme est utilisé en France par certains universitaires ou responsables politiques pour dénoncer la proximité et le laxisme supposés de certains hommes politiques français de gauche envers l'islam, par ailleurs confondu ou assimilé à l'islamisme dans ses formes radicales.

Utilisé principalement dans des cercles extrême-droitiers, ce terme connaît une exposition médiatique forte après son utilisation fin 2020 par le ministre de l'Éducation nationale Jean-Michel Blanquer, repris également par la ministre de l'Enseignement supérieur Frédérique Vidal.

Développement
Le terme connaît son premier grand essor en 2003, lorsque des personnalités en faveur de l'adoption de la loi sur les signes religieux dans les écoles publiques françaises l'utilisent régulièrement pour qualifier leurs opposants, qu'ils considèrent, selon Laurent Lévy, comme des gauchistes,  de l'islamisme. Des personnalités comme Alain Gresh, Edwy Plenel, Michel Tubiana ou Raphaël Liogier sont régulièrement l'objet de critiques comme « islamo-gauchistes ».

Jean-Yves Pranchère, professeur de théorie politique à l'université libre de Bruxelles, le définit comme des  (définition historique explicitée plus haut). Pour lui, dans les années 2000, le terme ne se diffuse pas hors des milieux universitaires ; puis, dans la seconde moitié des années 2010, le terme est utilisé en contexte politique et notamment par l'extrême droite dans un sens nouveau et polémique — comme une insulte. Le terme prend un sens plus étendu, qui désigne  Ce concept sert aussi de déni et de dissimulation de l'antisémitisme (la galaxie antisémite rouge-brune non gauchiste autour de Soral et Dieudonné ) jusqu'à devenir

Pour le sociologue Jean-Pierre Le Goff, ce sont  et contribué à populariser cette locution dans les médias et le débat public.

Selon l'islamologue Gilles Kepel,  En 2013, le philosophe Michel Onfray écrit qu'il ne communie pas  Il critique également Jean-Luc Mélenchon :

Lors de l'entre-deux-tours des primaires de la gauche pour l'élection présidentielle de 2017, Malek Boutih déclare : , citant notamment dans son entourage son porte-parole Pascal Cherki pour son soutien à des rencontres non-mixtes.

Le , les journalistes Judith Waintraub et Vincent Nouzille dénoncent, dans une enquête sur  publiée par Le Figaro Magazine, les relais « intellectuels, responsables politiques ou acteurs associatifs » de l'islamo-gauchisme qui selon les auteurs « investissent l'espace médiatique ». Sous des formes différentes et à des degrés divers, ils classent notamment dans cette catégorie les sociologues Edgar Morin, Geoffroy de Lagasnerie et Raphaël Liogier, l'islamologue Tariq Ramadan, l'historien Jean Baubérot, le démographe Emmanuel Todd, le géopolitologue Pascal Boniface, les journalistes Alain Gresh et Edwy Plenel, les personnalités politiques Benoît Hamon, Jean-Louis Bianco, Danièle Obono, Clémentine Autain et Caroline De Haas, ou encore les personnalités associatives Marwan Muhammad, Sihame Assbague, Houria Bouteldja et Rokhaya Diallo.

Selon le sociologue Fabrice Dhume-Sonzogni, avant l'intervention de Jean-Michel Blanquer en , Le Figaro s'octroyait environ  des utilisations de l'expression depuis 2003-2004.  Tandis que pour David Chavalarias, directeur de recherche au CNRS,

À partir de 2020, sous la présidence d'Emmanuel Macron, une partie du gouvernement utilise ce terme, notamment Gérald Darmanin, Jean-Michel Blanquer ou Frédérique Vidal.

Après l'assassinat de Samuel Paty, Jean-Michel Blanquer affirme que « l'islamo-gauchisme fait des ravages à l'université », soutenant qu'il existe « des courants islamo-gauchistes très puissants dans les secteurs de l'enseignement supérieur qui commettent des dégâts sur les esprits. » Dans une tribune du Monde, une centaine d'universitaires (professeurs et professeurs émérites des universités, directeurs d'études et de recherche) dénoncent « les frilosités de nombre de leurs pairs sur l'islamisme » et les « idéologies indigénistes, racialistes et décoloniales » et soutiennent les propos du ministre de l'Éducation. En réponse, une tribune signée par «  universitaires, chercheuses et chercheurs » dénonce le soutien envers les propos de Jean-Michel Blanquer « désolant » et s'insurge contre ce qu'elle considère comme un « appel à la police de la pensée dans les universités ».

D'après une analyse fondée sur les données de l'outil de recherche Politoscope de l'Institut des systèmes complexes de Paris, , le terme de  désignant ici un agrégat de comptes Twitter  : ils reflètent l'état des débats du moment, et constituent un viviers de recrues potentielles pour les partis politiques.

Annonce d'enquête sur l'islamo-gauchisme à l'université
Le , Frédérique Vidal, ministre chargée de l'Enseignement supérieur, annonce vouloir  et avoir demandé au Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) . Mettant en cause une alliance « entre Mao Zedong et l'ayatollah Khomeini », elle déclare à cette occasion que . Pourtant, dans une tribune parue dans L'Opinion au mois d', Frédérique Vidal avait critiqué l'utilisation du néologisme par Jean-Michel Blanquer.

Cette annonce, où pour la troisième fois en moins de six mois un ministre du gouvernement Castex emploie l'expression « islamo-gauchiste », suscite de vives réactions au sein du milieu universitaire, qui la condamne. La Conférence des présidents d'université (CPU) exprime , ajoutant que ce terme . Le CNRS, considérant également que l'appellation est un , condamne . Des universitaires dénoncent une atteinte à la liberté de pensée qui cherche à discréditer différents sujets de recherche.

La déclaration du CNRS, qui intervient quelques jours après celle de la ministre de l'Enseignement supérieur est elle-même critiquée comme la facette d'un , mettant en lumière des divergences idéologiques dans l'enseignement supérieur. Les positions du CNRS ne font en effet pas l'unanimité auprès des chercheurs. Ainsi, le philosophe et politologue Pierre-André Taguieff soutient que le terme n'est « pas moins scientifique ni pertinent que « droite », « gauche » ou « extrême droite »», et reproche à la direction du CNRS d'avoir choisi « clairement son camp idéologique ». Isabelle Barbéris, maître de conférences en arts de la scène et chercheuse associée au CNRS, doute que ce communiqué « ait fait l'objet d'une consultation collégiale ». Elle considère que la direction du CNRS fait . Cependant, le 20 février, dans le quotidien français Le Monde, plus de six cents universitaires, dont la sociologue Dominique Méda et l'économiste Thomas Piketty, signent une pétition dénonçant un chasse aux sorcières et demandant la démission de la ministre.

À la suite de cette polémique, les ministres et représentants du gouvernement multiplient les déclarations contradictoires quant à la qualification de l'« islamo-gauchisme ». La déclaration de Frédérique Vidal est critiquée « partout » dans la majorité. Le , le porte-parole du gouvernement, Gabriel Attal, remet en question les accusations d'« islamo-gauchisme » : « Si phénomène il y a, il est extrêmement marginal ». Le même jour, Gérald Darmanin, ministre de l'intérieur, déclare sur les ondes de Radio J : « l'université, les services publics, des associations sont touchés par l'islamisme aidé parfois par les gauchistes ».

Selon les quotidiens américains The New York Times et The Washington Post, se cristallise dans cette polémique une guerre culturelle qui a pris naissance dans les universités françaises et qui s'est installée sur la scène médiatique et dans la sphère politique. Le premier explique que, dans le domaine des sciences sociales, de jeunes universitaires entreprennent des études postcoloniales et des recherches sur les questions de race et de genre, en opposition à une génération d'intellectuels plus âgés, tels que Pierre-André Taguieff. Pour ceux-ci, les théories promues par ceux-là sont des emprunts « artificiels » à la culture universitaire américaine.

Débat autour de l'islamo-gauchisme en France

Promoteurs de l'usage du terme

En France, le terme islamo-gauchisme ne fait pas l'unanimité.

Pour les promoteurs du terme, les islamo-gauchistes sont ceux qui s'en prennent à la culture occidentale et à l'universalisme, et trouvent une place croissante dans les courants postcoloniaux et antiracistes. Ainsi, pour Caroline Fourest, ce terme , tandis que, rappelant la tenue de réunions interdites aux blancs, Pierre-André Taguieff écrit dans L'Islamisme et nous : .

Pour l'écrivain Christophe Bourseiller, l'islamo-gauchisme évolue sur les mêmes terres que la
Nouvelle Droite d'Alain de Benoist en défendant un ethno-différencialisme opposé à l'universalisme républicain. Pour lui, . Il cite notamment comme exemple Tariq Ramadan et Marwan Muhammad du Collectif contre l'islamophobie en France (CCIF) partageant la même tribune que le Nouveau Parti anticapitaliste et Alain Gresh.

Critiques du terme et du néologisme

Polysémie du terme
La critique la plus générale du terme est son absence de rigueur, « islamo » pouvant viser l'intégrisme islamique, ou la population musulmane dans son ensemble, tandis que le terme « gauchisme » peut englober des pans entiers de la gauche classique.

Il est également critiqué du fait de sa polysémie, son utilisation croissante et de plus en plus importante l'ayant parfois éloigné de son sens originel. Ainsi, Pierre-André Taguieff estime, en 2016, que .

, s'interroge la journaliste Valentine Faure.

Vacuité du terme
D'autres auteurs vont plus loin, en affirmant la vacuité du terme. Selon Olivier Christin, l'islamo-gauchisme appartient à ces expressions dont les  Des mots qui, selon Libération, appartiennent à la novlangue. Olivier Christin estime que cette prolifération de termes dans la langue politique peut être considérée , mais également comme .

Pascal Boniface est également critique sur l'usage du terme : .

Arme idéologique
Enfin, le terme est parfois considéré comme

Selon Shlomo Sand, qui compte parmi les nouveaux historiens israéliens, le terme, stigmatisant, est , dans la mesure où . Dans son usage rhétorique, l'historien établit également un lien avec l'emploi du  des années 1930 .

Pour David Chavalarias (CNRS), la popularisation du terme profiterait avant tout à l'alt-right française dans sa stratégie de . Le directeur de recherche considère qu'il existe un . L'objectif  est de rendre crédible la présence , la légitimation et la promotion du concept d'islamo-gauchisme favorise la perte de confiance dans les institutions démocratiques jusqu'à  Cette stratégie a déjà, selon l'auteur, favorisé .

Refus du débat par la stigmatisation
De nombreux journalistes, personnalités politiques ou chercheurs ont dénoncé l'usage stigmatisant de ce néologisme.

Edwy Plenel,  selon L'Obs, considère que c'est

En , les journalistes Sonya Faure et Frantz Durupt notent , et qui se voient, pour cette raison, parfois accusés d'islamophobie. En réponse à cette qualification, un  est renvoyé aux accusateurs .

Le site Acrimed considère que sous ce terme aurait lieu « une chasse aux sorcières médiatique », le terme étant « un vocable épouvantail » utilisé pour discréditer les personnes et mouvements politiques incriminés.

D'autres personnalités politiques de gauche, comme Clémentine Autain, revendiquent l'appellation et la rapprochent de l'intersectionnalité des luttes : pour elle, la gauche est légitime à se battre

Islamo-droitisme
Le politologue Pierre-André Taguieff définit l'islamo-droitisme comme une association idéologique rassemblant deux mouvements politiques, l'un d'extrême droite et l'autre se réclamant de l'islam radical, la cause commune étant l'antisémitisme. Un exemple historique d'une telle alliance est le rapprochement, à partir de 1933, entre les nazis et les nationalistes palestiniens représentés par Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, mufti de Jérusalem.

En France, au cours de la campagne présidentielle de 2022, des soutiens du candidat Éric Zemmour accusent d'« islamo-droitisme » Valérie Pécresse, la candidate Les Républicains, et son entourage. Ils prétendent ainsi dénoncer une hypocrisie qui consisterait à adopter une posture d'intransigeance face à l'islamisme, tout en pratiquant un clientélisme en faveur de personnalités liées à la mouvance islamiste.

Dans la littérature
Dans son roman Soumission de 2015, Michel Houellebecq fait décrire par Robert Rediger, le personnage de fiction converti à l'islam et professeur d'université devenu homme politique, l'islamo-gauchisme comme .

Insider perspectives on global cyber safety and security status
May 9, 2012 By Pierluigi Paganini
Article published on The Malta Indipendent
Today there is a lot of interest in "Cyber warfare" and "Cyber threats". Week after week we are bombarded with news about massive security failures, one after the other. For example, according to the Utah Department of Health, the sensitive personal information of more than 780,000 people was stolen from a government health department computer in Utah, USA in March 2012. These ongoing reports leave many of us feeling unsure on what can be done. Is this just sensationalism? How bad is the situation really? If we have a serious security problem, how do we get ourselves out of this mess? In particular, what can I do to improve my situation and protect those I care about?
Each week, this easy to understand Cyber Security Awareness Series will quote cyber security insiders to answer these important questions. This four-part series is another example of international collaboration created by the ICT Gozo Malta Project, this time with experienced international security reporter Pierluigi Paganini, director and Ciso of Bit4ID, Italy. The series contributes to ongoing online publications of extensive cyber awareness resources during 2011 and 2012. These publications from Malta have been blogged and viewed by thousands of people including experts in government and industry around the globe.
Below, we quote three world-leading experts to make it absolutely clear that we do have a problem that deserves our attention, with simple suggestions on how we might respond.
According to the US National Security Agency: "There is no such thing as 'secure' anymore." The ugly truth is that the majority of information and communication technology (ICT) products are fundamentally insecure and trivially broken. It is readily apparent because we are all very familiar with anti-virus and anti-spyware software, and the endless process of costly (time-consuming) security patching, often long after successful attacks, has come and gone.
What is less understood by the wider community is that there is also an underlying problem (known by world-leading security insiders) that makes this an extremely perilous situation. That problem is that critical aspects of today's mainstream civilian cyber security ecosystem foundations are fundamentally flawed at the conceptual design, architecture and implementation levels. This includes many of the (de facto/national) security standards and security products designed to protect us from malicious activities. (See: "Synaptic Labs' Annual Report On Cyber Security Technical Problems, Drivers and Incentives" for the full blow-by-blow disclosure from leading experts.) This leads to a simple question: How can you make a robust, secure system with insecure building blocks?
March 2012 –UTAH DOH says 780,000 Patient Files
Brian Snow is a private information security consultant with a unique insight into the situation. For 13 years, he held technical director positions in the US National Security Agency (NSA Research & Development, Information Assurance Directorate IAD, ADET). For those unfamiliar with the US NSA IAD, it's mission is to protect the US National Information and Information Systems by securing networks and making ICT systems that are less vulnerable to attacks. Prior to his technical director roles, Brian spent his first 20 years at NSA as a techie and inventor, doing and directing research on developing cryptographic components and secure systems. Many crypto systems serving the US government use his algorithms. In short, Mr Snow is one of the most authoritative and respected names in the business of securing information systems, and today he provides expert advice to the global community on how to protect ICT systems. His relentless message to security forums around the world is indisputably clear. He describes today's cyber security systems as a
"trust bubble waiting to burst".
To quote Brian Snow from the 20-minute video presentation he recorded for Synaptic Labs and presented at the ICT Gozo Malta's International Cyber Awareness Seminar in November 2011 (available online free): "Today's Trust Bubble products are rife with a huge pile of crippling un-addressed conceptual (design) and implementation debt. That is a one-two punch. And as were the Credit Derivative products in 2007, widely used, little understood, and less analysed! I said in March 2010 at the RSA Conference that we are ripe for a Trust Bubble meltdown with the same scale of consequences that the Credit Markets suffered. I predicted that it COULD (not WOULD) happen within three to five years, possibly even within 18 months… I now feel we may have only long weeks to short months before we COULD feel even greater pain from the immense pile of 'debt' (both conceptual and technical) that security vendors are carrying. Please realise, we are in desperate trouble! We have to dig out of this, or else the world economy is headed for a severe crash! We are moving at a snail's pace against an avalanche of MALICE. It is insane not to act! So I am here to tell you that your cyber systems continue to function and serve you NOT due to the EXPERTISE of your security staff, but solely due to the SUFFERANCE of your opponents."
This is not an isolated statement made by some radical. Other security experts with similar deep insight into the true extent of the problems are saying similar things.
Debora A. Plunkett is today the Director of the US NSA IAD. Ms Plunkett is responsible for cyber security, cryptography and information systems security for all US national security systems. Her public view on the status of today's cyber security is very clear:
"There is no such thing as `secure' anymore… We have to… assume that all the components of our system are not safe, and make sure we're adjusting accordingly."
This is a key public statement and a warning that all major organisations should take into account.
Melissa Hathaway is a security expert who has held high-ranking security positions in both industry and government. Ms Hathaway is best known for leading the extremely influential US government's Cyberspace Policy Review that triggered massive change both in the US and around the world. When addressing some of the brightest minds in US cyber security at the US Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Annual Cyber Security and Information Intelligence Workshop CSIIRW 2010, she said: "I think it is unconscionable that our leaders are not talking about what is really happening and some of it is because of the fear that we are going to lose trust in the core infrastructure and/or that we are going to lose public confidence."
To support Ms Hathaway's statement about the vital importance of maintaining public confidence, we quote the official UK Government Cyber Security Strategy 2011:
"Any reduction in trust towards online communications can now cause serious economic and social harm to the UK."
So naturally we cannot expect alarming reports to come from many government sources. Having said that, it is reassuring to learn that each of us has the ability to respond right now.
According to Brian Snow, "Each of us has the responsibility: 1. To educate ourselves on cyber security issues, 2. To find out what our individual security roles are in our business operations (and personal life), 3. To improve our skills and apply them to improve the security posture of the community, and 4. To identify what we cannot do personally and then call on the security community to deliver it."
In this article, we will focus on immediate steps each of us can take right now to mitigate the threat to ourselves, our loved ones and businesses. Thankfully, according to the UK government's Cyber Security Review (2011):
"Prevention is key, we will work to raise awareness and to educate and empower people and firms to protect themselves online. Eighty per cent or more of currently successful attacks exploit weakness that can be avoided by following simple best practice, such as updating anti-malware software regularly."
To start, if your computer appears to be sick (very slow or randomly misbehaving), go directly to a trusted techie, system administrator or your local computer shop and ask to have your computer checked, any malware removed, and to install a high-quality anti-virus tool if you don't have one. If your computer seems okay, make sure you are running an anti-virus tool that checks every application for malware before it runs. If the anti-virus tool continually discovers viruses, seek expert assistance immediately. Unfortunately, installing an anti-virus is not enough. Security is a daily routine of applying best practices, not something magically achieved by running an anti-virus product! The next most critical step in our daily routine is to ensure software patches for your operating system and that all applications are applied in a prompt and consistent manner. Patching removes vulnerabilities that have been discovered, preventing them from being exploited.
With the absolute minimum in place, we each still have the responsibility to educate ourselves on the other critical cyber security best practices. So be sure to read the next article in this series and join us in taking the next steps to secure (y)our world!

Часосло́в (или Часо́вник, или Часосло́вец; ; Орологион) — богослужебная книга, содержащая неизменяемые молитвословия суточного богослужебного круга, предназначенные для исполнения чтецами и певчими. Получил своё название от изложенных в нём чинопоследований часов.

Различают два вида часословов — великий (для шести служб) и малый: последний есть сокращение первого. На Руси по «малому» учили читать, и он даже специально издавался с учебной целью.

В западной традиции структура службы часов и самого часослова несколько отличается, см. «Бревиарий». Средневековые богато иллюстрированные  для частного пользования — шедевры среди иллюминированных рукописей.

Этимология
Книга получила своё название от службы часов, которую она содержит. Часослов служит руководством для чтецов и певцов на клиросе.

Название книги  верно переводится на славянский как «Часовник», это название и было на Руси до Книжной справы, поскольку  образовано от слов  — «час» +  — «собирать», то есть сборник служб часов. Название было изменено в середине XVII века, была сделана ошибочная калька, когда вторую часть названия книги:  неверно перевели как «слово». Название книги «Часовник» заменили в результате Церковной реформы патриарха Никона на «Часослов». В настоящее время название книги «Часовник» сохранилось у старообрядцев.

История

Первоначальное составление Часослова приписывается преподобному Савве Освященному, включившего в него чинопоследования ежедневных церковных служб. Дополнения к Часослову сделаны, как полагают, святым Иоанном Дамаскиным и Феодором Студитом.

Часословы в виде книг появились в Западной Европе в XIII веке, однако особенное распространение получили в XIV—XV веках, в связи с ростом грамотности. Их изготовляли в ремесленных мастерских всех стран Европы, наибольшую популярность обрели французские и фламандские.

Содержание
В нынешнее время в Часослове РПЦ печатаются:

 Полунощница субботняя,
 Полунощница воскресная,

Judge tosses lawsuit from man held in jail despite video showing he didn't commit crime
APPLETON - A judge has thrown out a lawsuit filed by a man who claims he was held at the Outagamie County Jail for about 10 weeks, despite police body camera footage that showed he didn't commit the crime for which he was detained.
In May, U.S. District Judge William Griesbach dismissed the lawsuit brought by Ryan Losse and his attorney, John Miller Carroll, against the city of Appleton, two Appleton police officers — Jack Taschner and Sgt. Tyrell West — Outagamie County, retired Corrections Field Supervisor Roger Neveau and probation and parole agent Chad Corrigan. The lawsuit was filed Sept. 21, 2018.
At about 1:15 a.m. June 21, 2017, Taschner and West responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle that had been running outside a home for about an hour. The officers found the car, a red Mitsubishi Eclipse, in a driveway on East Byrd Street. A man was asleep in the driver's seat with "what appeared to be a pipe for smoking methamphetamine in his hand," Griesbach's ruling says.
When the man woke up, he ignored officers' commands to turn off his car, backed down the driveway and fled. Appleton police officers went after him, but eventually ended the chase for safety reasons.
More:Attorney: Wrong man held for 10 weeks in Outagamie County Jail for crime he didn't commit
West contacted Losse's mother, who lived at the address where the car had been parked, but she didn't think the vehicle belonged to her son.
At the time, Losse was serving a two-year term of probation for possession of methamphetamine. West and Taschner both looked at a photo of Losse pulled from a Department of Corrections database and concluded Losse had been the driver of the car in the chase.
On June 22, 2017, police searched Losse's residence as part of an investigation of his brother, but found a baggie with methamphetamine residue in the garbage in Losse's bedroom, along with a black air gun with the orange tip painted black. Appleton police arrested Losse after the search.
When Corrigan, the probation and parole agent, met with Losse that day, Losse denied any involvement in the car chase. Losse also denied having any knowledge of the drug paraphernalia found in his bedroom.
Losse was charged with fleeing an officer and resisting an officer on July 17, 2017, but the day before Losse's revocation hearing — scheduled for Aug. 29, 2017 — Taschner and West looked at body camera footage and determined Losse did not have the same forearm tattoos as the driver of the car.
Losse was released from the Outagamie County Jail on Aug. 29, 2017, and the charges against him were dismissed. He had been in custody for 68 days, Griesbach's ruling says.
Griesbach determined the police officers didn't violate Losse's constitutional rights because the information available to them at the time seemed to support their belief that Losse was the driver in the chase.
"(Losse) offers no evidence that suggests (the officers) were acting in bad faith" when they identified him as the driver using the Department of Corrections photo, Griesbach wrote.
"It was dark outside and though they shined a flashlight on him, he quickly started the vehicle and backed away," the judge wrote. "Officer error does not amount to a constitutional violation."
Griesbach also dismissed the Losse's claims against Neveau, Corrigan, the city of Appleton and Outagamie County.

Boreal Metals, a mineral exploration company with a portfolio of zinc, copper, silver, gold, nickel and cobalt projects in Scandinavia, has reported assay results from the first four holes of a recently completed diamond drill program at its Gumsberg project.
The 100% owned Gumsberg project is located in the prolific Bergslagen Mining District in southern Sweden.
The strategically situated Gumsberg project consists of six exploration licenses in the Bergslagen Mining District of southern Sweden totaling over 18,300 hectares, where multiple zones of VMS style mineralization occur.
The project is road accessible year-round with nearby access to skilled labour, power and rail.
The VMS mineralization at Gumsberg was mined from the 13th century through the early 1900s, with over 30 historic mines present on the property, most notably the Östra Silvberg Mine which was the largest silver mine in Sweden between 1250 and 1590.
Despite its long-lived production history, relatively little modern exploration has taken place on the project.
In December 2018 and January 2019, Boreal completed nine diamond drill holes, totalling 1,621 metres, in the vicinity of the past producing Östra Silvberg Mine.
Diamond drilling tested prospective stratigraphy east and west of a previously reported intercept from BM-17-005, which returned 10.94 metres of 16.97% zinc, 656.7 grams per tonne silver, 8.52% lead and 0.76 grams per tonne gold south of the main Östra Silvberg mine workings.
Drill holes GUM-18-003 and GUM-18-004 were drilled to the east and west of the high grade mineralization identified by Boreal in BM-17-005.
These intercepts are interpreted to be part of a steeply eastward plunging mineralized body that is spatially separated from the historically defined Östra Silvberg Mine footprint.
This table shows that both holes returned 11.0 metre high grade intercepts containing veinlet, disseminated, semi-massive and massive sulphide mineralization.
Together, this group of six drill intercepts constitutes an expanding zone of newly recognized mineralization that remains open to the east and at depth.
Karl Antonius, President and CEO, stated: "Boreal has made a new discovery of high grade mineralization near the historic Östra Silvberg Mine on our Gumsberg project in Sweden. Boreal has multiple high grade zinc-silver-lead-gold intercepts in the new South Zone, which remains open at depth and along strike. This is a very exciting development for the Company and is a welcomed reward of our exploration efforts in Sweden."
Results from holes GUM-18-006 and GUM-18-008 are expected in the coming weeks.
The shares are trading at $0.085.

A Writer's Take on 21 Days Under the Sky
21 Days Under the Sky - Full Trailer from Fox Digital Studio Group, on Vimeo.
A contributing writer to La Motocyclette and Craftrad, Kate O'Connor Morris penned the Fox Searchlight film 21 Days Under the Sky (Netflix Original, 2016), an unconventional true story about those men who won't conform. Four guys meet in San Francisco to start a 3,800-mile ride down the Lincoln Highway – the oldest coast-to-coast route connecting the east to the west. They are riding vintage 'choppers'; bikes prone to break down or run out of gas. Through the highs and lows of a long journey, this story examines the timeless American love affair with the motorcycle and an even greater American tradition: the road trip. Kate rode the entire route with the film subjects, wearing a single pair of jeans, with no tent, and writing along the way.
The writer/photographer/filmmaker speaks about her experiences at Motos and 'Moving' Photos : NYC, March 21 at Filipacchi. Enjoy a brief interview we did with her recently.
Kate O'Connor Morris at work — Michael Schmidt
Put more down and think far less. Get over the finer details and do one frivolous, no-good thing on nothing more than the idea of it. Forget the words 'adventure', 'epic', 'legend'. Ban them from the present life you lead. For it doesn't start as an adventure. It begins with a risk.
Kate O'Connor Morris, 21 Days Under the Sky
1) In 2013 Harley Davidson recruited you as an integral cog in their creative engine. They handed you a motorcycle and told you to ride cross-country and reimagine the road trip. You infiltrated outlaw motorcycle groups, slept in ditches, crossed the United States with one pair of pants and no tent, and produced in their 2014 campaign, "Lost Road." The concept was also honored in the Harley Davidson Museum's cultural exhibitions. Was it this experience that prompted you to write 21 Days Under the Sky?
Yes. While I was on assignment throughout the country, I learned that there was gold out there ... we just had to go dig it up. It was during that time I built meaningful relationships that allowed 21 Days to come to life.
2) What was the process for writing the film … did you have the idea laid out and then flush out the concept on the road as things happened? Is it a documentary or were parts of it scripted?
The process is a weird, long story. It's embarrassing to even admit this, but I actually storyboarded AFTER we got back because we really pulled the project together in a few short weeks. I'd call it a creative documentary. If you know any the bikers in the film, you can't make them do jack. So the goal was to let everyone be themselves and ride their ride. We knew we'd mostly follow the Lincoln Highway, capturing those unpredictable elements I knew would be necessary to make a 'road film' that felt both relevant and timeless.
3) What attracted you as a writer to a story like this? Is it somewhat like a modern day Easy Rider, showing that the more things change, the more they stay the same in terms of connections, values and the need for adventure?
I love this question. Yes, it's a non-fiction Easy Rider in so many ways. Whatever happens in terms of this country — our burning need for freedom will always be a voice in our head telling us to quit our day jobs, and go out to look for what is real. Themes about America attracted me to this project, because it's what I do best. There isn't anything more American to me than the biker.
4) Did the characters speak for themselves in terms of leading the story? Did you know all the riders previously?
The interviews were done a year after the road trip, so they were speaking for themselves and speaking pretty honestly. For filming, though, I met them literally on the shoulder of the road on Highway 1 in Big Sur. I was the only girl. I dropped my bike twice that day. But I kept my mouth shut and held my own all 550 miles up to Salinas. That was Day 1. We were family after that.
5) Is your written word reflected in the voiceovers (done by actor Robert Patrick) throughout the film? How did you interact with the director and camera crew during the country wide shoot? Were you an advisor, an active participant in what was shot and eventually edited into the final film, or a combination of all?
Yes. The voiceovers I wrote directly from the road. They're pretty much pulled from my journals. Sometimes I'd get a sense of what needed to be said on a given day and I'd either stay behind, ride ahead, or peel off. We'd all find each other by nightfall — most of the time. My role was a combo of all: I was writer/AD/friend/party animal/mascot and generally down to do whatever was needed to get the shots. We didn't have a plan, so (director) Michael (Schmidt) and I made a lot of decisions on the fly. We'd start the day with an idea of what we wanted, and then someone's bike would break down or the rains would come, and we'd have to regroup. For the year of post-production, I was calling the shots for storyline and soundbites/dialogue.
Kate O'Connor Morris — Michael Schmidt
Four guys, brought together for a handfull of reasons. There was the opportunity to meet the legendary Tom Fugle in Sioux City, Iowa, the brilliant bike builder and creative mastermind who'd been running the scene since the early days. Then there was a deadline ... September 21 ... the day of the Brooklyn Invitational, an all-out, one-night chopper show ... Only America, with its unending roads and backbreaking expectations, would give us losers like these.
6) Any stories from the trip that didn't make the final cut?
Hah! So. Many. Heat stroke, meltdowns, all the drugs, freak outs, getting lost and separated, alllll the outlaw biker stuff. No one moment was the showstopper, but bundled into one: crazy times.
7) It must have been incredible to meet chopper master Tom Fugle and have him as an integral part of the story, but also bittersweet knowing he passed away not to long after the film hit screens. What was he like during filming?
I'm just so glad Tom was around to see the film come into the world. What a rare occasion as an artist — especially one that was living in obscurity — to know that your life was valued before you go. In many ways, Tom is what I take away from this filming experience. I miss him every day. Before we left California, my working title was Going to Fugle, because I knew he was the heart of what we were after. He was the legacy. But I was also very intimidated to meet him — we all were. None of us were in MCs, let alone a 1%er one, and there's just an unspoken code. So we had no clue how it would go. Tom was easily the friendliest, most accepting person we met along the whole way. He handed us his only copy of bike footage from the '60s without a question. He also almost got me and Gentry Dayton killed right before the film launched — but that's another story. I think the thing everyone on 21 Days can say is we all walked away with a lesson on how to live life because of him.
8) You also mentioned that you were behind the scenes taking stills throughout shooting … in addition to writing. How has the entire experience influenced what you're working on now and what do you have in the works currently in terms of moto projects?
21 Days taught me you can make meaningful work out of pretty much believing it matters. We didn't have a chase van, or set shots. Some of the most breathtaking footage was captured with someone holding onto Michael's legs as he hung out of the open door of the crew's minivan. We stayed with the project, because we believed it was worth telling. Moto projects: I have a few, but nothing in production — yet!
9) The film brings the four riders to the Brooklyn Invitational, in a sense showing the moto community as something that extends nationwide. Being a native New Yorker, how would you describe moto culture here?
Another great question. I think I'm kind of a loner when it comes to the bike scene, but what I like about New York is it's less segregated in terms of what you ride (chopper, street, café, etc). You're out of your mind if you ride in this city, so people find each other quickly. I love that about the Northeast.
Chopper master Tom Fugle (left) — Michael Schmidt
What would America be without these roads, and a fearless, uncut few, ones wild enough to rage on 'til their bones hum, sleep in the cold dirt, land in a series of circumstancial places at the wandering winds of the cosmos. They might slow down one day. Roll back through the hazy record of their minds and recall the insanity of what they'd done.

What is AIOps?
Moogsoft Announces $40 Million in Series D Funding
Phil Tee | March 13, 2018
$40 million in funds raised to fuel global expansion and continued innovation in AIOps
Today, I am honored and excited to welcome another member to the ever-growing Moogsoft herd, as Goldman Sachs Growth Equity joins our Board of Directors as the lead investor in our Series D funding round. This round, which totaled $40 million and saw participation across our existing team of investors — including Cisco, HCL, Northgate Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Singtel Innov8, STTelemedia and Wing VC — brings Moogsoft's total funding to $90 million.
And with this new round of funding, we dive headlong into the next phase of our journey in revolutionizing how IT operations and service assurance are managed in the 21st century.
Looking Back on a Momentous Year
It seems like just yesterday that we unveiled the reimagined Moogsoft AIOps at our first annual AIOps Symposium event (an event which we will host again later this year — more info on this coming soon).
Since that day, we have released over 15 updates to our AIOps platform, bringing to market innovative new features such as Real-Time Service Dashboards, Collaborative Team-Based Workflows, the Algorithmic Clustering Engine, Probable Root Cause Analysis, and a Mobile version. For a product with many production installations, this is a heady pace of innovation, probably unmatched in our industry.
That type of growth trajectory is simply astounding. Given the results we see with our customers, we are as bullish on the future of Moogsoft as we have ever been, no pun on the logo intended.
These inventions alone, have resulted in the award of over 6 patents — we have also filed for over 40 additional patent applications that are in review. 2017 also saw Moogsoft more than doubling revenue and welcoming many new partners from across the Global Fortune 500.
Moogsoft's technology has recently garnered praise from the likes of CB Insights, which placed us as one of the most promising artificial intelligence companies in the world (and the only IT solutions vendor to make the list); ComputerWorld, which listed Moogsoft as one of the top enterprise tech start-ups to watch; Gartner Research, which recognized Moogsoft as having 11/11 required capabilities of AIOps platforms in their 2017 Market Guide for AIOps Platforms; and EMA research, which named Moogsoft a Leader in Advanced IT Analytics.
Not bad progress for a team of ~150 passionate technologists with a shared dream for ushering in the next phase of the digital revolution in IT.
Defining the Next Generation of Service Assurance
Moogsoft's purpose-built AIOps platform is in production in the world's largest, most complex IT environments — customers such as SuccessFactors, Intuit, HCL and GoDaddy were early adopters of Moogsoft AIOps and now rely on our technology to avoid outages and achieve operational agility that modern businesses require. The results have been humbling — we've seen a fundamental transformation in the way enterprise operations teams work. For instance, one customer, a leading Digital Insurance Enterprise, has reported a 10x increase in L1 operator productivity by using Moogsoft AIOps.
Of course, we aim to match 10x that with another 10x, as we believe that IT should be the center of operational excellence, tightly aligned with the business, and that human beings should be freed from manual, repetitive tasks to pursue creative solution. At Moogsoft, we have the intention to be the primary supplier of service assurance software for the new digital economy. Today, we have reached a major milestone on that journey by securing funds that will be used to scale our sales and marketing engines to meet global demand as well as drive R&D investment for new product development and continued innovation in our core AIOps platform.
Moving into the Future with Moogsoft AIOps
With new technology in development, and with significant investments being made in sales and marketing, Moogsoft is indeed set to lead the next phase of the digital revolution. One thing is for sure: AIOps is a category that is here to stay. In the 2017 Market Guide for AIOps Platforms, Gartner Research predicts that, by 2022, 40% of all large enterprises will combine big data and machine learning functionality to support and partially replace monitoring, service desk and automation processes and tasks, up from 5% in 2017.
Jason Kreuziger, a Vice President in Goldman Sachs' Merchant Banking Division, who will join the Moogsoft board of directors in connection with the investment, says, "We have followed the Moogsoft story closely over the past several years, and have been consistently impressed with their thoughtfulness around product development and ability to deliver such a compelling value proposition to customers managing some of the most complex IT operations in the world. We are excited to partner with a world-class management team that has deep domain expertise and a track-record of success in this market, and look forward to working with them to help further scale Moogsoft going forward." Well said Jason, and I am thrilled to turn that interest into active partnership.
There's a commonly uttered expression that is used around the Moogsoft offices that adequately conveys our collective excitement at the next stage of our company's growth, and the kind of plans we have in store for our customers, both new and existing. It's simple, heard every day in our offices, and truly captures the sprit of the Moog. Please join me in a hearty "MOOOOOOOO!!!"

Q: Does iOS5 support both GL_STENCIL_INDEX and GL_STENCIL_INDEX8? With the following code:
GLuint viewRenderbuffer, viewFramebuffer, viewDepthbuffer, stencilBuffer;
// Create the framebuffer object
glGenFramebuffers(1, &viewFramebuffer);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, viewFramebuffer);

// Create a render buffer and bind it to the FBO.
glGenRenderbuffers(1, &viewRenderbuffer);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, viewRenderbuffer);
[context renderbufferStorage:GL_RENDERBUFFER fromDrawable:(CAEAGLLayer*)self.layer];
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_RENDERBUFFER, viewRenderbuffer);
glGetRenderbufferParameteriv(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_RENDERBUFFER_WIDTH, &imageWidth);
glGetRenderbufferParameteriv(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_RENDERBUFFER_HEIGHT, &imageHeight);

// Create a depth buffer and bind it to the FBO.
glGenRenderbuffers(1, &viewDepthbuffer);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, viewDepthbuffer);
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT16, imageWidth, imageHeight);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, viewDepthbuffer);

// Create a stencil buffer to crop the rendered scene and bind it to the FBO.
glGenRenderbuffers(1, &stencilBuffer);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, stencilBuffer);
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_STENCIL_INDEX, imageWidth, imageHeight);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, stencilBuffer);

// Check the FBO.
if(glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER) != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE) {
    NSLog(@"Failure with framebuffer generation: %d", glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER));
}

With GL_STENCIL_INDEX, I get the GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_ATTACHMENT error. With GL_STENCIL_INDEX8, I get the GL_FRAMEBUFFER_UNSUPPORTED error. Both are caused by the last glFramebufferRenderbuffer() function, which should bind the stencil buffer to the FBO.
Furthermore, when I check the GL_RENDERBUFFER_STENCIL_SIZE value, I get the right value (8) with GL_STENCIL_INDEX8, but I get 0 with GL_STENCIL_INDEX.
With this, I can't get a functional and complete FBO with a stencil buffer. Is it due to the GL_STENCIL_INDEX? Which one should be used here?

A: It seems that in OpenGL ES 2.0 at least on iOS (not sure for other OS) you have to create combine the depth buffer and the stencil buffer.
I listed all the extensions supported on my device (iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1) and the only one related to the stencil buffer is :
GL_OES_packed_depth_stencil
This suggests that you would have to create a combo depth+stencil buffer (taken from the iPhone 3D Programming book)
// Create a packed depth stencil buffer.
GLuint depthStencil;
glGenRenderbuffersOES(1, &depthStencil);
glBindRenderbufferOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, depthStencil);
glRenderbufferStorageOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8_OES, width, height);

// Create the framebuffer object.
GLuint framebuffer;
glGenFramebuffersOES(1, &framebuffer);
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, framebuffer);
glFramebufferRenderbufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_OES,
                             GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, color);
glFramebufferRenderbufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT_OES,
                                GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, depthStencil);
glFramebufferRenderbufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_OES,
                             GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, depthStencil);
glBindRenderbufferOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, color);

Ban government shutdowns? It's on the table in D.C.
In The News, Legislation to end ShutdownsBan government shutdowns? It's on the table in D.C.Minn. freshmen among those trying to end tactic.
Emmer said he doesn't think it would be effective to suspend congressional and White House pay during a shutdown, since it would punish only some players. "It's certainly not going to make a difference to the leader of this executive branch," he said.
Sen. Tina Smith says she's still studying the issue, but fellow Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar says she supports some type of legislation to end shutdowns. A spokeswoman for Republican Rep. Pete Stauber said he met last week with a bipartisan group of lawmakers to discuss preventing shutdowns, but she didn't provide further specifics.
Stauber also was one of a small minority of House Republicans last week to vote for a Democratic resolution "expressing … that government shutdowns are detrimental to the nation and should not occur." It failed; such resolutions require a two-thirds majority of the House to pass.
A spokesman for Republican Rep. Jim Hagedorn declined to share his views.
A range of D.C.-based federal budget watchdog groups disdain the idea of putting government spending on autopilot.
Maya MacGuineas, president of the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, agreed that it's bad federal policy to make government spending automatic in perpetuity. But given the climate in Washington, she said it may be the least bad option.
Even if Congress coalesces behind one of the plans, it's unlikely it would be in place by Feb. 15, when federal funding is set to expire again.
Some Minnesota lawmakers are also working on proposals to recover from the last shutdown or to mitigate damage in future ones.
Smith is spearheading a Senate bill to restore back pay to federal contract workers who weren't made whole when government reopened. Many are low-paid custodial and food service workers. Peterson is pushing legislation to maintain funding during a shutdown for a broader group of Department of Agriculture employees responsible for administering services to farmers.
Phillips said it makes more sense to expand that idea across the entire government.
"We came here trying to do things a little bit differently," Phillips said of new members of Congress, pointing out that the recent shutdown was already underway when they were sworn into office.

Q: Is it neccessary to rebase changes from master into branch before committing to keep history clean I have a question regarding keeping the git-history clean when using git rebase.
I came accross the following problem:
I had the following history, made by others of the project:
m0 - m1 - m2 - m3
  \- b1 - b2

Now I wanted to rebase the changes into the master so what I learned was, that you use
    git rebase master
    git checkout master
    git merge branch
all fine. The master now had the changes of the branch and vice versa.
so I pushed the master, great. I wanted to push the branch and found out, that the remote has set the flag to forbid non-fast-forward pushes.
After some other problems and mistakes made by me, I resolved the problem by deleting the branch, and creating a new one, containing the commits from the master.
Now my question is:...What would have been the right thing to do, when wanting to use rebase...Does every user of any branch always needs to do
git stash
git fetch
git rebase origin/master
git stash pop

before committing, to keep the git-history clean so the problem described earlier won't occur?
In my eyes that would be a bit overwhelming for other users (perhaps beginners) within the git project. And as soon as one person would forget rebasing the origin/master before committing his changes within the branch, the whole git-history would not be clean anymore, correct?
So what is the correct thing to do? To properly use rebase in the project?
Because what I see is, that as soon as the changes from master are not rebased into the branch before committing it would always happen, that the history looks like this:
m0 - m1 - m2 - m3 - b1 - b2
  \- m1 - m2 - m3 - b1 - b2 //<-----PUSH-Problems, since history changed!

Can anyone clarify my missunderstanding of git rebase? If there is any?
Because with my understanding right now it is a bad idea to use git rebase as soon as there are multiple people working on a project.
If the question is not clear enough: I'm asking for some representative example for

*

*resolving the described problem when remote forbids non-fast-forward pushes

*The tipicle aproach of using branches and rebase when more than 3 or 4 people work on one project and perhaps one branch

EDIT: Perhaps I should clarify that we need to use a remote branch, since multiple people are working on one feature/one branch

A: After some more research I noticed, that I seem to have missunderstood the usage of rebase.
Rebase in short is there for adding your local changes to a public branch (or master) without creating irrelevant merge-commits. It's not a tool, that shall completely replace merge.
This article describes a typical workflow for using rebase:
https://www.randyfay.com/node/91
In a summary you (obviously) never want to work on the base-branch directly. When adding something to a project, for example adding something to a feature of a tool (public branch featureX), you create your own local branch (bugfix for said feature, oder adding a functionality, which is part of the feature) and commit to exactly this branch.
Then when you are done you rebase (not merge) the base-branch to your local branch, creating a log, which simply added your commits to the back of the base-branch.
Then when merging the base-branch with the local branch, it simply fast-forwards the head to the end of the local-branch and you have one nice line with all commits.
So rebase should only be used for local branches! And not for public-branches, where multiple people work on. Since that would lead to exactly the problem I described in the question. Advices saying to use "git push --force" or similar should only be used in very situation-depending problems, but not here!

COVID 19: Why Blockchain Technology Is A Better Way to Manage the Ventilator and PPE Supply Chain
Arvind Kutty
Strategic Business Manager
Ashley Bremer
Blockchain Consultant
Alex Seeger
During the COVID-19 crisis, states from New York1 to Kentucky2 are scrambling to find ventilators and personal protective equipment (PPE) needed to curb the spread of this pandemic. A ventilator shortage was predicted back in 2018 when the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security determined that during a severe respiratory pandemic such as COVID-19, up to 742,500 people might need mechanical ventilation; however, as of this writing, the maximum number that the US has available to distribute is 160,000.3
The result? Healthcare workers are concerned about running out of PPE and other supplies to protect themselves and their patients. Doctors are worried about whether there will be enough ventilators to go around, and whether they'll be forced to make terrible life-or-death decisions on who gets one and who doesn't.4 Patients are fearful that an overextended healthcare system won't have the supplies and resources to provide the care they need to survive.
Who Ensures Hospitals Have Essential Supplies?
Given the urgency of this situation, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and HHS have been tasked with jointly managing the supply and distribution of vital medical supplies5. In addition to two governmental agencies acting as "owners," no consistent mechanism exists for manufacturers, hospitals and other stakeholders to communicate their supply and demand information to State-level emergency managers. In the current process, some stakeholders use spreadsheets; some use emails and others direct phone calls. States share this information with FEMA, who then manually coordinates and allocates the resources among the states based on a continually changing supply and demand information. Because disparate systems along with manually intensive methods are used to manage these essential supplies, this creates shortages and delays in the supply chain. Clearly, a tightly integrated and consistent mechanism is now more important than ever for manufacturers, hospitals and other stakeholders to communicate their supply and demand information to State-level emergency managers. Blockchain technology can provide the backbone for such a system.
What Is Missing from the Picture?
Currently, states and hospitals have inconsistent information about how many ventilators there are, where ventilators are located, who can share them, and who has the most urgent need. In other words, there is no systemized way to prioritize and no single consolidated view of supply and demand information for existing and newly sourced ventilators and PPE.
The information flow is siloed and unorganized, making it exceedingly difficult for government agencies to respond effectively to this pandemic.6 This problem only gets compounded as the crisis escalates and peaks at different times from state to state.7 Without accurate and real-time information, moving vital resources such as ventilators from one hotspot to another becomes an ongoing logistical nightmare.
Another big challenge is to strategically allocate equipment as it is delivered from various, new sources (e.g. GM, Ford8 and Tesla9) and unorthodox places (e.g. veterinarians10, police custody11 and universities). Government leaders and hospitals have expressed their willingness to accept ventilators from nearly anywhere. For example, NY Governor Andrew Cuomo has been very vocal about the need for 40,000 ventilators and his willingness to accept them from nontraditional sources.12
How Can We Improve This Situation?
To coordinate and effectively manage this crisis, it is vital to have a single consolidated and accurate view of real-time supply and demand information for ventilators and PPE.
The combinatorial power of digital technologies like Blockchain, Cloud and AI can be used to create a single, trusted and transparent view of supply and demand information across multiple stakeholders, geographies and legal entities. This platform would enable hospitals, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, FEMA, state emergency managers and other stakeholders to securely read and/or update a shared repository of inventory (supply and demand) information. FEMA and state governments could then coordinate to quickly and efficiently allocate supplies as need shifts from state to state.
By providing a much-needed, consolidated view and connecting the entire ventilator and PPE stakeholder ecosystem, this kind of solution eliminates the need to exchange information and coordinate next steps. It also enables a direct-to-hospital model that accelerates the overall delivery process by enabling suppliers (manufacturers, donors and other hospitals) to connect and exchange directly with the recipient hospital.
In addition, improving real-time tracking and traceability of ventilators and PPE helps forecast demand and better allocate and reallocate the available ventilators and PPE. Non-functional, incompatible or defective units can also be traced and removed from the ecosystem, therefore giving central authorities and hospital providers a more accurate view of their actual stock.
The Power of Technology to Provide Quick and Coordinated Collaboration
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has shown the power of technology to unify organizations, students and citizens to collaboratively prevail during these challenging times. For example, video communication tools facilitate social distancing, allowing many to continue working and studying from home.13 But technology also has a key role in helping governments and healthcare networks coordinate and manage supplies, including for ventilators and PPE shortages by creating better end-to-end visibility and transparency. In other words, technology can help us prevail in our most pressing hour by enabling nationwide collaboration to deliver life-saving essentials.
Brave healthcare professionals are on the frontline providing care for sick patients and saving lives. Grocery workers find themselves working grueling shifts to stock stores to provide food to sustain entire communities. Truck drivers continue to ensure that delivery of packages arrive to our homes. These are just a few examples of how individuals are doing their part. Now is the time for other organizations, including government bodies, corporations and businesses, and thought and industry leaders, to come together and collaborate in helping countries respond quickly and efficiently, when it matters most.

CSCOs say generation gap is leading cause of warehouse labor shortages
Higher pay, more automation and technology will be key to attracting a new generation of workers, tech firm research shows.
Chief Supply Chain Officers (CSCOs) expect industry labor shortages to persist, driven largely by generational differences in employment preferences, according to a survey from logistics technology vendor Berkshire Grey, released today.
The company surveyed more than 200 U.S. supply chain executives at e-commerce and retail businesses and found that shifting demographics, consumer expectations, and online buying trends are changing the look and feel of today's warehouses, distribution centers, and fulfillment facilities–for good. An aging workforce, demand for higher productivity, and the need to attract younger workers are causing company leaders to seek a range of solutions, including investing in technology and increasing pay.
"Labor issues across industries continue to vacillate, but unlike the temporary shortages seen in other industries, continued e-commerce growth and shifts in generational employment preferences are uniquely impacting the fulfillment industry and predicted to lead to long-term labor shortages that will only compound in the coming years," Steve Johnson, Berkshire Grey's president and COO, said in a press release about the survey's findings.
The often manual, physically demanding nature of warehouse work is a deterrent, especially to younger talent. But that's where technology can really help, according to Johnson.
"In addition to compensation strategies, companies need to utilize robotics automation in order to stay ahead of this demographic shift," he said. "Not only is it a huge attractor for young talent due to the increased safety and specialized upskilling it enables, it is also a game changer in terms of cost reduction, throughput, and ROI."
Among the study's findings, 64% of CSCOs said generational differences in employment preferences will have a long-term impact on labor availability, and more than half (57%) said labor shortages have kept them from meeting productivity demands. To address the problem, 76% of executives surveyed said they will need to raise wages and 63% said they will need to increase bonuses to attract and retain workers.
Survey respondents also agreed that technology and automation will be differentiators moving forward: More than 70% said robotics and automation is "necessary to counter reduced applications from younger generations"; 51% agreed that implementing automation will increase employee satisfaction; and 43% said automation will lead to a decrease in employee turnover.
More than 50% of respondents said they are in the process of adopting or planning to adopt robotics, and those already using such technologies say they are reaping benefits, according to the survey:
More than three-quarters (78%) of executives said they expect to save more than 10% on order fulfillment costs as a result of robotics automation;
Most executives (85%) currently using robotics are planning to increase their investment;
And executives are most likely to use automation to support packaging/labeling (62%), item sortation (59%), returns (58%), and goods retrieval (58%).

How long does it take to beat Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order?
By Ben Tyrer published 11 June 21
We can guarantee it's longer than the time it took Han Solo to do the Kessel Run
(Image credit: EA)
If you want to know how long it takes to beat Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order? We can help. While it's an open world game, meaning there's a range of answers, we can pin it down to a few options depending on how you want to play. Are you going to just follow the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order story directly, or side track through all the hidden areas in search of all your Jedi gear. Because the game has a light Metroidvania style it means you means you can spend a lot of time backtracking to find or use new upgrades and gear, or you can just follow the main mission which will give you the basics and save on time.
How long it takes to beat Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order can changes with backtracking, exploration and the many routes you can choose to take. The direct path is a lot shorter and fairly consistent but you do risk missing loads, explore and revisit old locations and you could be playing for ages. So, with that in mind, here's how long it'll take to beat Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
How long does it take to complete Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order?
My initial playthrough came out at around 22 hours, which included a fair bit of collectible hunting across the game's main planets, as I finished the game with a 93% completion rate. If you were looking to follow the main story path only, you're looking at roughly 14-18 hours to reach the end of Cal's journey.
I've also unlocked the platinum trophy for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which added an extra 12 hours onto my playtime, for a total of 34 hours to get all the game's trophies. A word of warning here though. The final trophy I needed to unlock was the 'Green Thumb' one, where you have a fully grown terrarium. It took roughly 2-3 hours for the final seeds I found to bloom, so if you're aiming to get the platinum/1000G reward, make obtaining these seeds a priority. Otherwise, expect to be twiddling your thumbs for a bit.
