Black Separation? Mobilizing for a Plebiscite
BY Amadi Ajamu
In the wake of the 2016 presidential election, 'The Choice' campaign for self determination organized by the December 12th Movement, held a Black Voters State of Emergency Community Speak-Out on November 15. The focus was on the Trump Presidency, Rising White Racism and The Economic Crisis.
In the spirit of Malcolm X who made it plain and said "You been took. You been had. You been misled." The Choice campaign demanded a write in vote for 'Reparations Now' and the concretizing of self – determination and a plebiscite (referendum) on which way forward for Black people in the United States.
Viola Plummer, Chair of the December 12th Movement spoke after an open floor discussion from the masses gathered, "You know we talk about choice. We talk about where we might go… We talk about Hillary and Donald. They are all the same, cut from the same cloth. You choose frick or frack, or the lesser of two evils. A long time go W.E.B. Dubois said they were both evil. 'Two parties, one evil,' He said it did not matter which one of them becomes president or whatever. You have not chosen them. They came to you."
Plummer addressed a question from Rita Clay, an educator and mother who said "I want to solve the problem and do the work. I want to get training. Train us and we can go out and do the work."
Plummer responded, " Sister, we are prepared and have been constantly organizing to the degree that we could to train Black women and men in order to raise real struggle. But what we have attempted to do, always and everywhere, is for you, to very soberly look at who you are. You don't have the responsibility of giving anyone a chance to keep you oppressed. No Donald, Hillary, DeBlasio etc. It is not your responsibility to see what they are going to do. You know what they are going to do."
Referring to a comment made by Hazel Beckles during the discussion, who said "We have to stay on point and turn our energies inward. Not forget about white people, but don't give our energy to them. We've been doing it for too long. We need to institute ourselves politically, culturally, socially, economically, and environmentally. And it is on us to determine that."
Plummer said "Hazel said we can't keep talking about white people and white supremacy. What we have to do is talk about us and what our responsibility is to us."
Dr. James McIntosh was the keynote speaker, "I want to make three points, 1- Who is Donald Trump? 2-What is the impact of his presidency on us? 3- How I knew Donald Trump would be President.
Dr. McIntosh's presentation included a slide show featuring Mr. Trump and his close associates. "Donald Trump has strong white nationalist and white supremacist roots. Contemporary newspapers reported seven people were arrested and they all had on Klu Klux Klan uniforms. One of their names was Fred Trump, Donald's father. Trump and his father also refused to let Black people into their housing developments. They fought but eventually had to sign a consent decree with the Department of Justice in order to let Black people into their housing.
He has strong connections with McCarthyism. His attorney Roy Cohn was Chief Counselor for Senator Joseph McCarthy and a member of US Department of Justice team that tried Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for espionage. His clients included prominent mafia leaders, former presidents Nixon and Reagan, and Jeffrey Epstein and wealthy known predatory sex offender. Cohn was a mentor to Donald Trump." The presentation documented many more examples of Trumps unsavory activities.
Dr. McIntosh explained, "The answer to all these things were laid out by Marcus Garvey many years ago. He said we have to unite; we have to have self knowledge and operate as a nation. We have to have self industry, self education, and self rule. Most importantly, we have to have self defense, because if you don't, all of those other things are taken away from you.
Marcus Garvey also laid out working models to show you what could be done. He gave us a newspaper to document our history and current events; grocery stores to feed ourselves. He had the Black Star Line so we can engage internationally. He called us a universal people.

The modelling system presented here is based on some mathematical models of different dimensionality (1D, 2D, 3D) applied to the study of hydrodynamics and water quality scenarios into different areas: rivers, channels and reservoirs. These modelling interfaces for the water management on hydrographic basins should consider necessarily the inclusion of different types of mathematical models: hydrological, hydrodynamic and water quality models. These models are based on different types of software, selected after a careful evaluation.
The developed platforms presented here contemplates different software options for the modeling of hydrodynamics and water quality scenarios. For the hydrological and uni-dimensional models is used the Sobek software, while for the two-dimensional models is used the RMA2 and RMA4 software.
For the prediction from short, medium and long-term surface runoff and for determining the series from water flows in the river system needed to estimate pollutant discharges from diffuse sources, we can use an hydrological model whose implementation has been successfully performed in different river basins. It's a global model whose simplicity allows to estimate quickly the surface runoff, while still allowing if properly calibrated, predict the runoff in real time.
The model comprises a series of reservoirs with a predetermined capacity, interconnected by procedures that allow the quantification of soil moisture conditions, which control the production of the river runoff. As rainfall events occurs, these reservoirs are filled. The emptying occurs by percolation, evaporation or lateral drainage. In addition, the model divides the basin into permeable and impermeable regions.
In this section we present a web interface developed for hydrological models and which is used to run simulations and view results for hydrological modeling of hydrographic basins. Includes the ability to view and change the information associated with hydroelectric plants and visualize data from hydrometric and meteorological monitoring networks, used in the simulations with the model (Figure 1).
Figure 1 - Main window of the web interface for hydrological models.
In the previous image you can identify the panel "Simulation Parameters", which allows you to set the input parameters and to execute the model. The plan view and the right side panel allows the visualization and query of the simulation results. The interactivity of the map makes it easy analyze the results. At the same time you have access to a set of windows with data in chart and table format. In the plan view is also possible switch between hydrodynamic results and hydrological results, for each of the considered sub-river basins (Figure 2).
Figure 2 - Plan view: hydrological results view and hydrodynamic results view.
This plan view is interactive. For example, moving the mouse cursor over a sub-basin, it's displayed a small text box with the identification of the sub-basin and, for the selected instant time, it's also shown the value verified in the chosen parameter (Figure 3).
Figure 3 - Interface for hydrological models: text box with information about sub-basin, in the instant selected.
When viewing the hydrodynamics results the same information box is also present. By selecting a particular reach/node, you will get a chart with its values throughout time (Figure 4).
Figure 4 - Hydrodynamics results: water level and discharges.
Figure 5 shows the main view of the river modelling graphical interface. The modelling system consists in mathematical models of the rivers network to simulate river water discharge flows and levels (hydrodynamics) and the transport of substances or properties that are used as water quality indicators. This interface allows either setting up the data needed to define new simulations and also viewing and analyze the simulation final results. For each river channel you can view their results on the longitudinal profile and plan view. For both cases, you can select the desired water line, the simulation instant and the pollutant substance value on each reach.
Figure 5 - Web interface for hydrodynamic models.
The profile is represented from upstream to downstream. Over the course it can be seen various types of elements, such as dam gates, weirs, siphons, tunnels etc. (Figure 6).
Figure 6 - Some of the graphical objects represented along the longitudinal profile of the water line.
In the "PROFILE" there is a set of icons that give access to some features, like table and chart results. Also available is a feature that allows, through a small graphical animation, analyze the water level changes, over the simulation time (Figure 7).
Figure 7 - Six frames obtained from the animation profile window.
In the "PLAN VIEW" the user has the possibility to know, for example, for each time selected, the estimated water depth value of a particular node or the water discharge flow for a particular reach (Figure 8).
Figure 8 - Tooltip providing information about the selected node/reach.
For the water quality data, the same tooltip can be used to know the pollutant concentration value of a choosen substance in each of the segments (reachs). Additionally it's used a color scale representation for each segment, according to their concentration value (blue for low values, red for high values).
Figure 9 - Tooltip providing information about the pollutant concentration on a segment.
The viewing scale of the plan view can be increased or decreased by the user. The user has also the ability to navigate and interact with the various graphic elements represented therein. It's possible, for example, activate the visualization of orthophotomaps or the administrative boundaries (Figure 10).
Figure 10 - Viewing the water line and the administrative boundaries.
The simulation parameters can be modified through a window that is accessible from the icon "Set definition parameters". In this window you can specify the starting date and duration of the simulations and the values for river flows at the most upstream open boundaries. That window also gives the access to the form for data time series related to hydraulic structures. It's possible to define a constant value for the entire simulation or a variable law over that period. The image of a dam (as well as images for other hydraulic structures) on the form gives access to a specific new form for setting the opening laws of the gates and orifices (Figure 11).
Figure 11 - Main form for definition of new simulations data (left) and interface to define data time series related to hydraulic structures (right).
The definition of the pollutant sources and their values is performed through a selection map on which the user can define the pollutant concentrations and discharges.
Completed the previous steps, the user can execute the model with these new parameters, pressing the "Run" button, located at the bottom of the main window. This operation can only be executed if the user has privileges to this (granted by the site administrator). The model will be performed on background (on the server) and the time necessary to have the simulation results available it will depend on the simulation length that has been defined by the user as well as other non-temporal parameter (water levels, discharges flow, opening laws for controlled hydraulic structures and pollutant sources).
combination of hydrodynamic and water quality results.
The two-dimensional models for reservoirs were implemented to characterize the patterns of water circulation and analyze some problems from water quality (mainly related to accidental discharges in the main affluents of the reservoirs).
Figure 12 shows the main view of the web interface for two-dimensional models. The plan view is a representation of a finite element grid, where you can view the mean values of scalar fields (hydrodynamic or water quality simulation results) and vector fields (velocity in the case of hydrodynamic simulations).
Figure 12 - General aspect of the web interface for two-dimensional models.
You can see the results in chart or table format for each of the nodal points of the finite element grid, used in the spatial discretization of the model. In addition, there's also the possibility of analyzing results according alignments previously defined, either for each of the simulated instants or through an animation that covers the whole simulated time interval (Figure 13).
Figure 13 - Reservoir modelling - profile view.
The plan view allows the representation of scalar fields (free-board, velocity modulus, water depth, ...), representation of vector fields (velocity, ...) and viewing the results on each element of the grid (Figure 14).
Figure 14 - Reservoir modelling: information about an element.
As already mentioned before, in the plan view may not only be represented scalar fields but also vectors fields, or even a combination of both, as shown in the figure below.
Figure 15 - Reservoir modelling: representation of scalar and vector fields.
In this web interface are also included some features that allows you to establish new values (constant or variable) for the boundary conditions of the model, allowing remotely activate their execution.
The water balance models allow characterizing the temporal variation of the water volume (and through the characteristic curves of each of the reservoirs, the water level and superficial area) being known the inputs and outputs in each of the reservoirs over a given period of analysis.
In these interfaces are available a lot of information, such as the water level of the reservoirs registered in the monitoring station, the precipitation and evaporation values in the nearest meteorological stations and several values of water discharges.
The next picture illustrates a prototype of this kind of interfaces.
Figure 16 - Interface for water balance models for reservoirs.
The application has features that allows the query of results throughout the simulation period in chart or table format. This interface also provides a different way to analyze the results - through a simple animation you can analyze the variation of water level in the reservoir throughout time (Figure 17).
Figure 17 - Water balance models for reservoirs: water level animation.
In the plan view, in addition to the buttons that provide access to some of the features mentioned before, there are still text boxes with associated values, showing the values verified for the selected instant time. In the right side section of the interface is graphically illustrated the water level in the reservoir for the selected instant time. There's also information about the volume and flooded area.
There's also the possibility to automatically generate a report about the simulation, containing all the considered data sets (precipitation, evaporation, water flows...) and its results (table or chart format).

Is someone on your holiday gift list dreaming of the Big Apple? Maybe they used to live in New York? Maybe they dream of living here now? Or maybe they had the vacation of a lifetime in the city, and want to recapture just a bit of that feeling. We feel you, and we're here to help. For those who really love New York the best luxury gifts this year are pretty easy to figure out. Just give them a piece of the dream. Here are our top picks of the presents that will bring some of the city's iconic magic and energy to your gift recipient. And keep the party going all year long.
what are the best luxury gifts for those who truly love new york?
For starters, you could gift an item that is made in New York State. Our dear friend Silda Wall Spitzer has curated a list of goods created by local artisans that might be just perfect. You can see her recommendations here.
Bergdorf Goodman has some wildly inventive Christmas ornaments and home decor, many of which celebrate New York City.
Or you could give your recipient a trip to the city – even if they're traveling with young children, that could be the most magical experience possible.
Short of that, here are 6 other luxury gift ideas to bring a bit of Manhattan to your loved one.
Chanel is offering what's sure to be the It bag of the season for many passionate fashionistas: a limited-edition, embellished 2.55 shoulder bag that's exclusive to the 57th street store. The bag features pins and charms that are all New York City-inspired, including a taxi cab and a Broadway sign. It also comes in a wallet version in two sizes.
Ladylike sensibilities take on a sporty spin with this Gucci puffer coat, which comes adorned with the NY Yankees logo embroidered onto the chest. Ivory passementerie trims adorn the neckline and cuffs, heightening the ornate appeal of the quilted design's floral jacquard backdrop, which is flecked with bronze-tone thread for an oh-so-subtle dose of shimmer. $5,500.
Bill Cunningham's Fashion Climbing: A Memoir with Photographs is an iconic New York story. Cunningham was a man the likes of which you'd find Only in New York. For decades, during the time that he served as the beloved chief fashion photographer for The New York Times, he stood at the corner of Fifth and Fifty-Seventh. Dressed in a blue jacket, you'd find him snapping a candid shot of an exquisitely or outrageously dressed fashionista. That weekend you'd glimpse his mosaic of photos in the Sunday Styles section. His portfolio revealed trends, and gave its subjects lifelong bragging rights. This posthumously published memoir gives insight into the private man behind the lens.
Loro Piana's vintage-inspired cashmere Central Park Blanket features a classic 1960's Central Park skating rink scene, perfect for the city-obsessed collector. The goat-suede border adds an extra degree of richness. $5,450.

Q: c++ How to get size of vector with struct type I'm having trouble getting the size of a vector with struct types in it.
apples.h:
#ifndef APPLES_H
#define APPLES_H
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

struct a{
    int b;
    bool c;
};

class apples
{
    public:
        apples();
        ~apples();
    protected:
    private:

        static std::vector<a> d;

};

#endif // APPLES_H

apples.cpp:
#include "apples.h"

std::vector<a> d;

apples::apples()
{
    std::cout<<d.size()<<std::endl;
}

apples::~apples()
{
    //dtor
}

this code gives me "undefined reference to 'apples:d'"
the main.cpp doesnt even call include the apples class so I dont see a point posting it

A: Your std::vector<a> d; is missing the class name in front of d. This should fix your error:
std::vector<a> apples::d;

Otherwise the compiler can't know that's the definition of the d in apples.

Coefficient of Variation: A Comprehensive Study
BLOG » Data Analytics
by Bonani Bose | Apr 25, 2019 | Data Analytics
According to NASDAQ, the Coefficient of Variation is a measure of investment risk that defines risk as to the standard deviation per unit of expected return. It is not a perfect measure of forecastability.
However, if used in the true sense, it may surely add value to a business's forecasting process. In the world of forecasting, one of the key questions to consider is the forecastability of a particular set of data.
For example, a salesman might consistently be better at forecasting compared to his or her colleague.
The question that strikes me is: Is it because the data assigned to them is more forecastable, or is the salesman in question more skilled at forecasting?
One of the ways demand planners have tried to answer this question is through the use of a calculation called the Coefficient of Variation (CV).
Some people call it a standardized or normalized standard deviation (StdDev). In this discussion, we will try to answer that question as well.
Coefficient of Variation
Coefficient of Variation and MPT
According to Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), investment risk is defined and measured largely by volatility. MPT further expresses that all investors are rational and operate with perfect knowledge in a perfectly efficient marketplace.
Such investors will not accept a known level of risk/volatility unless they receive a return that precisely rewards them for that risk. This means that all securities sell at a market price that is always equal to fair or intrinsic value.

In this post, we will start with the definition of Coefficient of Variation, its purpose, and then move on to discuss the Coefficient of Variation formula in use, and lastly, its examples. I aim to cover the following in the discussion::
(i) What is the Coefficient of Variation
(ii) Coefficient of Variation formula
(iii) How to Calculate the Coefficient of Variation Formula
(iv) Coefficient of Variation examples
Coefficient of Variation & Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT)
Coefficient of Variation Definition
The Coefficient of variation (CV) may be defined as a statistical measure of the dispersion of data points in a data series around the mean. In other words, the CV represents the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean.
Coefficient of Variation is a useful statistic for comparing the degree of variation from one data series to another, even if the means are drastically different from one another.
The CV helps you find out the extent of variability of data in the sample in relation to the mean of the population. In the finance domain, the coefficient of variation allows investors to determine the extent of volatility, or risk, to be assumed in comparison to the amount of return expected from investments.
It is to be noted that the lower the ratio of the standard deviation to mean return, the better risk-return trade-off. Note that if the expected return in the denominator is negative or zero, the CV could be misleading.
The Coefficient of Variation is also useful when using the risk/reward ratio to select investments. For example, an investor who is risk-averse may want to consider assets with a historically low degree of volatility and a high degree of return, in relation to the overall market or its industry.
Conversely, risk-seeking investors may look to invest in assets with a historically high degree of volatility.
While most often used to analyze dispersion around the mean, quartile or quintile can also be used to understand variation around the median or 10th percentile, for example.
After knowing what is the CV let us move forward to its examples.
For example- Ronny wants to find new investment for his portfolio. He is looking for a safe investment that provides stable returns. He considers the following options for investment:
Stocks: Ronny was offered stocks of XYZ Corp. It is an established company with strong operational and financial performance. The volatility of the stock is 10% and the expected return is 14%.
ETFs: Another option is the Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), which tracks the performance of the S&P 500 index. The ETF offers an expected return of 13% with a volatility of 7%.
Bonds: Bonds with excellent credit ratings offer an expected return of 3% with 2% volatility.
In order to select the most suitable investment opportunity, Ronny decided to calculate the coefficient of variation of each option. Using the formula above, he obtained the following results:
Coefficient of Variation Example
More of the Coefficient of Variation Examples
Based on the calculations above, Ronny wants to invest in ETF because it offers the lowest coefficient (of variation) and the most optimal risk-to-reward ratio.
Examples to take into account
Video on the Coefficient of Variation example:
Coefficient of Variation Formula
Mathematically, its standard formula may be represented in the as follows:
σ – the standard deviation
μ – the mean
In the context of finance, the CV Formula may be re-interpreted as follows:
Coefficient of Variation Formula Re-interpreted
How to Calculate the Coefficient of Variation Formula
How to find a Coefficient of Variation in Excel
To calculate the CV in Excel use the formulas for standard deviation and mean. For a given column of data (i.e. A1:A10), you could enter: "=stdev(A1:A10)/average(A1:A10)) then multiply by 100.
How to Find a Coefficient of Variation by hand
You may use the following formula to calculate the CV by hand for a population or a sample.
Coefficient of Variation by hand
How to find a CV
Where σ is the standard deviation for a population, which is the same as "s" for the sample.
Where μ is the mean for the population, which is the same as XBar in the sample.
In other words, to find the coefficient of variation, you may divide the standard deviation by the mean and multiply by 100.
Easy Steps to create a CV by hand
Sample question: Two versions of a test are given to students. One test has pre-set answers and a second test has randomized answers. Find the coefficient of variation.
Find the CV
Step 1: Divide the standard deviation by the mean for the first sample:
11.2 / 50.1 = 0.22355
Step 2: Multiply Step 1 by 100:
0.22355 * 100 = 22.355%
Step 3: Divide the standard deviation by the mean for the second sample:
Now you can compare the two results using the CV.

Future of CV
Has my post sparked an interest in you about Coefficient of Variation? Does researching about CV intrigue you? Then you should go for a career in the CV research. Coefficient of Variation has immense prospects.
The exponential rise of data has led to an unprecedented demand for Big Data scientists and Big Data analysts. Enterprises must hire data science professionals with a strong knowledge of Deep Learning and Big Data applications.
Future of Coefficient of Variation
However, there is a sharp shortage of data scientists in comparison to the massive amount of data being produced. This makes hiring difficult and more expensive than usual.

Colazal (Balsalazide)
حدث بتاريخ: 30 تشرين2/نوفمبر 2017
Clinical Studies Experience
Adult Ulcerative Colitis
During clinical development, 259 adult patients with active ulcerative colitis were exposed to 6.75 g/day COLAZAL (balsalazide) in 4 controlled trials.
In the 4 controlled clinical trials patients receiving a COLAZAL (balsalazide) dose of 6.75 g/day most frequently reported the following adverse reactions: headache (8%), abdominal pain (6%), diarrhea (5%), nausea (5%), vomiting (4%), respiratory infection (4%), and arthralgia (4%). Withdrawal from therapy due to adverse reactions was comparable among patients on COLAZAL (balsalazide) and placebo.
Adverse reactions reported by 1% or more of patients who participated in the four controlled, Phase 3 trials are presented by treatment group in Table 1.
The number of placebo patients (35), however, is too small for valid comparisons. Some adverse reactions, such as abdominal pain, fatigue, and nausea were reported more frequently in women than in men. Abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and anemia can be part of the clinical presentation of ulcerative colitis.
Table 1: Adverse Events occurring in ≥ 1% of Adult COLAZAL (balsalazide) Patients in Controlled Trials*
Adverse Reaction COLAZAL 6.75 g/day
[N=259] Placebo
[N=35]
Abdominal pain 16 (6%) 1 (3%)
Diarrhea 14 (5%) 1 (3%)
Arthralgia 9 (4%) 0%
Rhinitis 6 (2%) 0%
Insomnia 6 (2%) 0%
Fatigue 6 (2%) 0%
Flatulence 5 (2%) 0%
Fever 5 (2%) 0%
Dyspepsia 5 (2%) 0%
Pharyngitis 4 (2%) 0%
Coughing 4 (2%) 0%
Anorexia 4 (2%) 0%
Urinary tract infection 3 (1%) 0%
Myalgia 3 (1%) 0%
Flu-like disorder 3 (1%) 0%
Dry mouth 3 (1%) 0%
Cramps 3 (1%) 0%
Constipation 3 (1%) 0%
*Adverse events occurring in at least 1% of Colazal (balsalazide) patients which were less frequent than placebo for the same event were not included in the table.
Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis
In a clinical trial in 68 pediatric patients aged 5 to 17 years with mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis who received 6.75 g/day or 2.25 g/day COLAZAL (balsalazide) for 8 weeks, the most frequently reported adverse reactions were headache (15%), abdominal pain upper (13%), abdominal pain (12%), vomiting (10%), diarrhea (9%), colitis ulcerative (6%), nasopharyngitis (6%), and pyrexia (6%). [see Table 2]
One patient who received COLAZAL (balsalazide) 6.75 g/day and 3 patients who received COLAZAL (balsalazide) 2.25 g/day discontinued treatment because of adverse reactions. In addition, 2 patients in each dose group discontinued because of a lack of efficacy.
Adverse reactions reported by 3% or more of pediatric patients within either treatment group in the Phase 3 trial are presented in Table 2.
Table 2: Treatment-Emergent Adverse Reactions Reported by ≥ 3% of Patients in Either Treatment Group in a Controlled Study of 68 Pediatric Patients
Adverse Reaction COLAZAL

Cough 0 (0%) 2 (6%) 2 (3%)
Pharyngolaryngeal pain 2 (6%) 0 (0%) 2 (3%)
Dysmenorrhea 2 (6%) 0 (0%) 2 (3%)
Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of balsalazide in clinical practice:
myocarditis, pericarditis, vasculitis, pruritus, pleural effusion, pneumonia (with and without eosinophilia), alveolitis, renal failure, interstitial nephritis, pancreatitis, and alopecia.
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. These adverse reactions have been chosen for inclusion due to a combination of seriousness, frequency of reporting, or potential causal connection to balsalazide.
Postmarketing adverse reactions of hepatotoxicity have been reported for products which contain (or are metabolized to) mesalamine, including elevated liver function tests (SGOT/AST, SGPT/ALT, GGT, LDH, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin), jaundice, cholestatic jaundice, cirrhosis, hepatocellular damage including liver necrosis and liver failure. Some of these cases were fatal; however, no fatalities associated with these adverse reactions were reported in COLAZAL (balsalazide) clinical trials. One case of Kawasaki-like syndrome which included hepatic function changes was also reported, however, this adverse reaction was not reported in COLAZAL (balsalazide) clinical trials.

the chocolate peanut butter gallery
a site dedicated to the world's two best ingredients
GNC ProCrunch: Peanut Butter Crunch
Tagline: "Protein Nutrition Bar"
When it comes to protein bars, I'll admit it: I judge a protein bar by it's cover. And I'm a little scared off the bat to taste this bar. It's got some bright flashy packaging and on it, it says "16 grams of quality protein." The last bar I tasted with that much protein was the Clif Builder's bar that had 20 grams in it and it tasted like… well… crap. But I'm on a mission to find awesome chocolate peanut butter protein bars (assuming they exist), so I must press on.
This bar has 260 calories (60 from fat) for a 65g (2.3 oz) bar.
Okay, I'm a bit confused here. This bar says it's peanut butter flavor and it looks peanut butter flavor, but it has a fairly distinct mocha flavor. …Huh? I also think this bar is misnamed by use of the word "crunch". It's definitely more crispy than crunchy. It's important to be accurate when describing a bar's texture as their textures can be quite unpleasant sometimes.
The base of the bar looks to have that blended bar consistency like that of the powerbar, but it's surprisingly crispy, which I like. It's a peanut butter protein mixture with krispies scattered throughout. A few bites in, I can't stand it any more- what could possibly be causing that mocha taste?!…
Nothing in the ingredients hints to this flavor, or at least, none of the words I understand do. So I can do nothing but eat on. The good news is that the mocha flavor is mostly noticeable with the first few bites. Once you get used to it, and the surprise to your tastebuds passes, the peanut butter flavor becomes much more apparent. The chocolate coating doesn't contribute much flavor as it's either too thin or too waxy or too… bad.
But somehow overall, I like this bar and I didn't expect to at all. I tend to like the more natural looking bars and cringe a little upon taking the first bite of any bar with the phrase "Performance Bar" on the package. Mostly because the natural ones tend to have ingredients that you know and love scattered throughout while these workout bars have blended hunks of protein - a quality I complain about often. Congrats, GNC ProCrunch, you've embarassed me for my prejudgement.
The next time you walk into a GNC and are battling indecision as you peruse the many shelves stocked with tons of protein bars, grab yourself a ProCrunch Peanut Butter Crunch. There's no reason to be scared. I promise!
Looking for more? The CPB Archives are delicious!

What is the importance of cooperative marketing and discuss its problems and suggestions to improve it?
A co-operative marketing society is basically a trading firm. All the members of the co-operative marketing society sell their product through society.
The importance of cooperative marketing society can be judged by the following facts.
Bargaining power of society is greater than the single farmer. So a farmer will get the fair reward of his product.
A co-operative marketing society will also provide the facility of storage to its members. The resources of the society will be adequate to provide this facility.
The major benefit of this co-operative marketing society is that a farmer will save himself from the middleman. So the income of the framer will increase and his economic condition will improve.
A co-operative marketing agricultural product and eliminates the speculation and wastage of product.
The co-operative marketing society is facing the problem of finance in developing countries. The member of the society advance the money to the society to increase the volume of business. The co-operative marketing society does not have adequate resources to meet the requirements.
The co-operative marketing society operates on small scale, because its volume of business is small. So it can not meet the needs of the members.
The qualified managers can not be employed by the society and the performance of the administration remains poor.
The working of the co-operative marketing society is also affected badly by the delay in decisions because it takes sometimes to call the meeting and consulting the members.
The above facilities are necessary for the efficient operation of the shops. The market societies usually do not have adequate storage and transport facilities.
The co-operative marketing shops performance is very poor and they do not pay the money to the farmers in time.
The members of the society are not co-operative minded. So it is the major cause of the failure of co-operative marketing.
In order to increase the business volume of the society, government should provide the finance facility to the society. In this way society can increase the scale of business.
The co-operative marketing society should hire the services of trained and qualified managers to improve the performance of the society.
The government should provide the transport facilities like roads to link the rural areas with the markets. It will encourage the society members.
The members of the society should increase the spirit of cooperation among them.
The cooperative societies should pay special attention to the grading and standardization of the crops.
The cooperative marketing society should provide the maximum storage facilities to the farmers to save the wastage of crops.
Marketing IS a long term investment.

Obama: 'Range of US Options' on Iraq
Obama Says No US Troops in Iraq
President Barack Obama says his national security advisers are preparing "a range of options" for U.S. assistance to Iraq's government as it faces an assault by al-Qaida inspired Islamist militants.
Speaking at the White House Friday, President Obama said the course of U.S. action will become clear "in the days ahead." He said no American troops will be sent to Iraq.
The president said the militants who have overrun parts of Iraq are a threat to the Baghdad government and people throughout the country, and pose an active threat to American interests as well. He said division among Iraq's leadership has led to the current crisis.
"Over the past decade, American troops have made extraordinary sacrifices to give Iraqis an opportunity to claim their own future," Obama said. "Unfortunately, Iraqi leaders have been unable to overcome, too often, the mistrust and sectarian differences that have long been simmering there. And that's created vulnerabilities within the Iraqi government as well as their security forces."
Obama said U.S. assistance to Iraq must be matched with a "serious and sincere" effort by Iraq's leaders to work together and set aside differences, and to improve their security forces. He said in the absence of any type of political effort, short-term military assistance will not succeed.
In a development Saturday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said his country is ready to help Iraq, if asked, and would consider working with Tehran's longtime foe, the United States in fighting Sunni extremists if Washington decides to take strong action against the fighters. Iran has developed close ties in recent years with the Shi'ite led government in Baghdad.
In quick strikes this week, militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, took control of Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, and advanced within 90 kilometers of Baghdad.
Late Thursday, ISIL fighters seized the towns of Jalawla and Saadiyah in the ethnically divided eastern province of Diyala.
A spokesman for the Sunni militants, who wish to install an Islamic government, vowed they would push into Baghdad and on to Karbala, a city southwest of Baghdad that is one of the holiest sites for Shi'ite Muslims.
The forces of Iraq's Shi'ite-led government have seemingly been powerless to stop the advance, often abandoning their posts and fleeing, leaving weapons behind.
A spokesman for United Nations human rights chief Navi Pillay said Friday the U.N. is receiving reports suggesting the number of people killed in Iraq in recent days may run into the hundreds, and the number of injured may be approaching 1,000. Pillay's office also said the militants are believed to be hunting down anyone associated with the Iraqi government.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday said he expects President Obama to decide quickly on what steps the U.S. will take about Iraq. Speaking during a conference in London, Kerry also said Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki should do more to address the sectarian divide in his country. He said the fighting has served as a "wakeup call" to the Iraqi government.
Prime Minister Maliki this week sought to convene an emergency session of parliament to declare a national state of emergency. But no quorum could be reached, as many of Iraq's Sunni and Kurdish lawmakers boycotted the session, objecting to handing Maliki, a Shi'ite, increased authority to combat the militants.

Q: What is the probability that 3 people share a same birthday in a room of n people? You are standing in a room with $n$ people.  What is the probability that three people have a birthday on the same day?
Maybe there is a general formula for the answer as a function of number of total people, $n$, and number of target people having the same birthday, but it seems rather complicated. Thanks.

So now I am motivated more than ever. After a horrifying dress shopping adventure with my friend, reality really hit home. That being said, I got on the scale today and another pound GONE! Yes, 5lbs altogether off my body and 1 inch all around! I couldn't be happier. It's not a lot, I know, but it's something. The scale is going down instead of up. Anything positive helps so much. I don't think I've seen the scale go down in almost a year! So, now I can't wait to get home today and do more power squats, suicides and mountain climbers. Bring it on!

Oh gosh. Gateway to Apshai. Gauntlet. Xevious? I've recently discovered how fun Xevious really IS and I think the Inty could do it; though I don't think it could do a feasible Gauntlet I do think Gateway to Apshai is doable and would be quite fun.
Definitely Blackhawk! Make the above a youtube to watch, we can't post urls for 7 days apparently. Anti spam measure?
...yes I realize I was all over the place with that.
Riddle of the Sphinx. A Dr. Mario style would be great as well. Actually you know what the best idea would be? Rip off Activision. They have literally dozens of awesome 2600 games that are begging to receive superior ports, like River Raid had gotten.
Robot Tank! That would be awesome.
I can't picture Kaboom! with the Intellivision disc controller. It does OK with the 5200 stick, but really is a paddle game. Maybe someone could adapt a 2600 paddle to the Intellivision for this game?
Also like to see Frogger II and Star Wars Death Star Battle.
Maybe Smurf just to see it compared to the 2600 and Coleco versions.
Smurf could be cool also because It would likely be comparable to the Colecovision version.
I love Turbo so Enduro would be a good call. Dig Dug and PacMan seemed to turn out well so Mr. DO! and Ms. PacMan would have been great games also.
TrekMD where were you Twenty - Seven years ago when Intellivision needed you?
I never thought but those 3 games are so similar to ones that were released.

I believe there is an effort to bring Ms. Pac-Man to the Inty as a homebrew game. I think Enduro would look great on the Inty. We can only dream!
onthinice wrote: TrekMD where were you Twenty - Seven years ago when Intellivision needed you?
I must have been playing on my 2600!
I thought so! I hope Ms. Pac can make it!
Intellivision is severely lacking in the racing game genre, so Enduro is a must.
If one day I win the lottery I will produce great Intellivision games!
So, are you buying those tickets?!
Of course I am. The only thing I don't know is if those are the good ones.

Rulebook Casefile: The Progress of the Problem in the Opening of The Babadook
The Babadook also exemplifies three more rules:
A story follows the progress of the problem, not the progress of the character
Cut ten pages out by starting scenes late and ending them early
Never let your characters apologize
By the time the story begins, Sam's behavior has already gotten pretty bad, and things are quickly getting worse. The first ten minutes feature breathtaking storytelling in every sense of the word: We begin with ten 30-second scenes of Sam's escalating violence and monster-obsession, then at the 5-minute mark he's kicked out of school. After ten more 30-second scenes, he pulls the "Mr. Babadook" book off the shelf exactly at 10-minute mark, and the real terror begins.
How on earth does Kent get such a richly-characterized movie to move so fast? How can you say anything with a 30-second scene, and how can you keep up that pace for 20 quick scenes in a row?
The lack of apologies has a lot to do with it. Presumably, after each of Sam's problematic incidents he apologizes abjectly to his mom or she to others, but the movie has no time for that. It's tricky, because those scenes are tempting to write: after all, that's big drama …but it's empty drama. The audience doesn't want to watch characters talk about something that's already happened, they vastly prefer to watch characters discuss things that might happen, or that are happening. What's done is done.
Here's what Kent has to say:
"Deciding the structure of it, I was always trying to make it more and more constrictive. It's a matter of rhythm. For me, films have more in common with music than with novels or literature. The flow of this movie was determined by its musicality. We didn't stop in the edit until it felt that way. We clipped out a lot from the first half until we got there, about 10 minutes, I'd say."
Getting out of scenes also creates a nice effect near the end, cleverly manipulating our genre expectations. The scene:
Once we know that Amelia is over the bend, their kindly old neighbor knocks on the door to make sure they're okay. We see wild-eyed Amelia trying to send her away. We then cut to Sam discovering their dead dog on the kitchen floor, only to have him turn around to find his murderous mother standing over him, explaining that the neighbor won't be bothering them anymore.
So did Amelia kill her neighbor? Well, no, but we don't find that out until the epilogue when the neighbor is babysitting Sam again. Not only is this a great example of the power of cutting away to keep tension high, it helps with the problem we discussed last time: In the end, Amelia kills no humans. This violates our genre expectations, but it's necessary in order to have a semi-happy ending, so one solution is to cut away from that scene early, implying just for a while that maybe she has killed someone, which makes the rest of her rampage that much scarier.
It's a brilliant cut: If we figure out that she's not going to kill anyone, then the movie loses tension, but if we know for certain that she has killed someone, then we lose all hope of a happy ending, which also decreases tension (our tense hopes that this might still turn out okay). By cutting away, both sources of tension are kept alive.
Labels: Rulebook Casefile, Structure, The Babadook
Brian Malbon said...
I loved that scene. I was certain we were going to find the neighbor in a closet or something for a cheap scare effect. The fact that she showed up just fine art the end did nothing to lessen the terror of the middle sequence.
Another great example of the "musical cutting" is when she's reaping the book. We see the last page with the terrifying thing hanging over the little boy, then we cut immediately to Samuel screaming hysterically and Amelia rocking him, then cut just as quickly out. There's no long drawn out scene where he gets more and more upset as she tries to reassure him, nor do we see her finally calm him down. It preserves the rhythm and, more importantly, the scariness of the scene.
Yes, that's another great cut!

Mushtaq Ahmed backs Yasir Shah to revive test career
By Zainab Shafiq
Mushtaq Ahmed, the former Pakistani leggie and spin bowling consultant of Team Pakistan has been optimistic about the test career of Yasir Shah and hopes that Yasir will revive his test career apart of the failures he has faced in recent test matches of Adelaide and Gabba.
The 33-year-old leg spinner did well with the bat but, as a bowler, he failed to show his techniques on the field through his specialized filed, returning just four scalps in 80.4 overs across two Tests in Australia.
However, Mushtaq has still kept hopes alive from Yasir and says that,
"Yasir would soon rediscover his magic as a wrist-spinner".
"He is not applying himself properly, and with a leg-spinner you always have to be patient," Mushtaq told ESPNcricinfo.
"He has forgotten the process he used to follow while running in to bowl each ball. He has been impatient to regain his form as quickly as possible, and trying too hard to take wickets. He is pushing himself to live up to the expectations, and it is unfair that people suddenly started to doubt him, and he isn't getting a lot of support either." He added.
Yasir, although is Pakistan's fourth highest wicket taker when it comes to Test matches. The Pakistani spinner consultant emphasized on his statements by saying that a player should not be judged by his performance in only a single match and you can not just write Yasir off. Yes, there are rough patches in everyone's life, but you don't leave your best cricketers behind.
"We shouldn't doubt our best bowler, who has taken 200-plus wickets for his country," said Mushtaq, who himself bagged 346 international wickets for Pakistan in a career spanning more than a decade.
"He has been winning games for us, and you cannot just write him off on the basis of what he has done in Australia. Sometimes, it's about form, and sometime it's about pitches that aren't really helping you, but a good bowler remains a good player." He added.
On behalf of his performance at Australia's tour, Yasir have not been included in the playing XI for the ongoing Rawalpindi Test against Sri Lanka. He will rejoin the team ahead of the second test that is to be held in Karachi. He is currently working with Mushtaq at National Cricket Academy, Lahore.

The AIU confirms a provisional suspension against Wilson Kipsang Kiprotich of Kenya for whereabouts failures & tampering, both violations of the @WorldAthletics Anti-Doping Rules.

— Athletics Integrity Unit (@aiu_athletics) January 10, 2020
Former marathon world record holder Wilson Kipsang has been provisionally sanctioned by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) for whereabouts failures as well as apparent tampering or attempted tampering with samples.
When he set the world record in 2013, he had bettered fellow Kenyan Patrick Makau's 2:03:38 performance that he set in Berlin in 2011, with a 2:03:23 finish time. He is the only athlete to defeat current world record holder Eliud Kipchoge at the marathon distance. Kipsang hung onto the record for one year, when Dennis Kimetto became the first athlete to run under the 2:03 benchmark, by running 2:02:57. Kimetto's record lasted four years until Kipchoge took it in 2018 at 2:01:39 – all from the Berlin course.
Kipsang currently holds four of the 25-fastest marathon performances all-time including the 11th fastest and eight of the top-83. Only eight marathon runners have run faster, Kipchoge three times, Kenenisa Bekele twice, as well as Birhanu Legesse, Mosinet Geremew, Dennis Kimetto, Geoffrey Mutai, Emmanuel Mutai and Moses Mosop.
Four times Kipsang has run under 2:04 and eight times he has run under 2:05.
He is a two-time London Marathon winner. He also won Berlin, New York and Tokyo.
Fellow 2013 World Marathon Majors winner Rita Jeptoo was banned for four years in 2014 for EPO, the blood-booster.
Volare Sports, his agency, maintain that he has not failed any tests.
Under anti-doping regulations, athletes must inform testing authorities of their whereabouts for a one-hour window of every day.
Three failures in 12 months – not being present at the said time, or filing inaccurate or incomplete information, counts as one failure – leads to an automatic ban.

You need to develop yourself painstakingly in order to become a successful entrepreneur. There will be failures in your path, but giving in to them will just pull you backward. Therefore, if you have made up your mind to start a business, then here are some advice for you.
Tips for starting a business. Take Criticisms Positively Whenever there is a beginning, there is opposition as well. You might have to face criticisms that might demotivate you for some time. But do not let these negative remarks get the better of you. Keep walking on your own path holding your chin up. Choose The Right Location Location plays a great role in determining the success of your business. A wrong location can jeopardize all prospects and at the same time, a right one can build a strong foundation for a fruitful venture. Therefore choose the location wisely.
Discuss with people who have vast knowledge in the industry that you have chosen. If you set up your business amidst your competitors, there are higher chances of success, studies have shown. Chalk Out A Plan When you are on your way to kick-start your own company, do not scurry into any hasty decision. Meticulously chalk out your own dental and vision insurance, mission and the philosophy of your business. This will be the stepping stone to the success of your commercial undertaking. Create a strategy about how you want to achieve your goals and hire executives who can assist you with integrity. Do not choose a product just because it is in vogue; go for the one you can relate to.
Contact Your Investor It is really important to choose the right investor when it comes to starting an enterprise. You may not have enough funds to fulfill what it takes to launch a company. Therefore, you must explain your business ideas to your investor and coax him or her into investing the required amount on your business. You should also pay attention to the opinion of your investors as he will also have his share in your company.
Take The Opinion Of Your Family If you have a family to look after, then it is your responsibility to make them understand the hardships as well as the plus points of your enterprise. Without the support of your loved ones, you can't really become a successful entrepreneur. Make sure that they are ready to accept the challenges that will come your way. Business undoubtedly demands a lot of time and you might have to compromise on your leisure in the initial stage. But once you are successful, you will never have to look back. So, these are some tips for starting a business which will boost your confidence before you finally set out on your journey to your dream. Follow these and have a successful career ahead!

Tottenham are linked with Turkish youngster Cengiz Under of AS Roma, according to reports from Italy (h/t Football.london).
The 21-year-old has four goals and four assists for the Italian giants this season and has built on a quality campaign from the last term.
The report adds that numerous European clubs are keeping tabs on the 21-year-old with Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Barcelona interested in the winger.
Under was in action against Inter Milan where he scored and the report adds that Chelsea and Arsenal had sent scouts to watch the youngster.
Corriere dello Sport (h/t Football.london) claims that Tottenham are willing to splash €52m for the Turkish sensation.
The report further claims that Chelsea are willing to spend €35m and give up young defender Andreas Christensen as a sweetener to secure his services.
The Turk would be an incredible signing for us, and if anyone can help him reach his potential, it has to be Mauricio Pochettino.
The Argentine has worked wonders with youngsters such as Juan Foyth, Davinson Sanchez and Harry Winks during his time at Spurs.
Although Under is a talent to keep an eye on, the amount in question is certainly huge and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
Pochettino didn't spend any money before the start of the season, and hopefully, that will change once the winter window opens.


You are here: Home / Entertainment / X-Men Apocalypse Spoiler Free Review!
A HUGE thanks to Emmanuel from Emans Reviews for checking out X-Men Apocalypse for us and giving us the info we need to know!! Make sure to keep looking for new reviews on the latest movies from him coming soon!!!
Right off the bat, the 3D effects and visuals immediately stand out as bright spot for this movie. The story was also nice and fitting with the previous X-Men movies, First Class and Days of Future Past. All of the past story lines connect and make sense which makes all three films feel like one big continuous film. If you watched the previous movies, you'll pick up on many of the references that are dropped throughout.
It's very easy to say that Michael Fassbender provided some of the best acting in this film. You could connect and feel every ounce of his emotions through his performance. Surprisingly, there were some rather dark, emotional moments in the film that did very well in enriching the characters. This wasn't left to just Fassbender's character alone, but also to that of Cyclops (played by "Tye Sheridan". There was also some interesting moments with Jean Grey's character (played by "Sophie Turner ") that fans of the series will more than likely appreciate as well. Oscar Isaac was exceptional as Apocalypse. He was dark, intimidating and powerful. He felt like a genuine threat to the world given his abilities.
To my surprise, this movie was rather violent and somewhat graphic. Even though it is PG-13, it still managed to push the limitations just a bit. However, while it was violent, and took on such a serious tone, it still found time to bring in a little fun. We can thank Quick Silver (played by "Evan Peters") for that. Just like in the past films, he managed to bring in the comic relief.
At the end of the day, X-Men Apocalypse was really just more of the same. I guess you could just think of it as being The Hunger Games w/ Mutants. There wasn't anything significantly different or epic to make this movie stand out from the rest. It's not a horrible movie, but I'm not sure I'd say it is the best.
It's in their top 3, possibly.
I've been a fan of the X-Men franchise for a while, so you can take my critique with a grain of salt. I have never been a fan of the push of Mystique as the reluctant hero. We all know that this is only the case because it's Jennifer Lawrence playing the part. I would've been okay if they had cast her as Rogue instead… maybe. (At least then they wouldn't have to completely revise the stories and characters).
Hollywood romanticizing of Jennifer Lawrence is a bit too much for my liking. Feel free to watch this in 3D. Parents please be advised that this isn't the most kid friendly movie. There was at least one F-Bomb dropped, and as mentioned the violence does push the PG-13 boundaries a bit.
Go in with low expectations so that you can get the most out of this film. Don't be in a hurry to leave either because there's one end credit scene to see.


300: Seize Your Glory is a spectacular third-person action game where you control Themistokles, one of the Spartan generals that stars in the new movie from the 300 franchise.
You use your left thumb to control Themistokles and move him around the level, while your right thumb attacks and defends. Most of the game requires you to use your weapons to fight your enemies, who truly never let up. During battle, you'll be able to perform combo moves and rack up many enemy deaths, which will earn you tons of points.
The main problem with 300: Seize Your Glory is that the game is extremely short. It has outstanding graphics and level design, but there just aren't very many of them. You'll have played the whole game in about a half hour, which will be frustrating for some players.
300: Seize Your Glory is a fun third-person action game. It's an intense, bloody experience that is unfortunately over way too quickly. Still, it's ideal for getting people excited about the upcoming release of the 300 movie.

(HOST) This winter, the entrepreneurial spirit of Vermont has been very much on the mind of writer Annie Guyon, who offers her account of what it has taken to acquire yet another hat.
(GUYON) Ever since moving here eight years ago, I've joked about the unwritten law in Vermont that you have to wear at least two professional hats. As of this month, I wear four: marketing consultant, freelance journalist, occasional tap dance teacher and now, B-n-B owner as well. Actually, it's a guest suite at the back of my house but I had to get a formal B-n-B license, the first of what I discovered was a long list of official papers.
I'd thought renting a room out to visitors would simply be a case of getting a local zoning permit, slapping up some fresh paint, cannibalizing my livingroom for various decorative tchotchkes and bringing down the old TV that's been sitting in the attic.
What I'd envisioned as simply making smart use of a part of my house that's only occupied when friends and family visit, has become the most protracted, complex undertaking of my entire life. But hey, I've made friends with folks at the Waste Water Department, the Health Department, the Tax Department and now count the Fire Marshall and the entire staff at my local hardware store as trusted advisors. I've had a fancy cap put on my well (you know, that state-of-the-art, two-vent kind); special safety-code handrails added to the balcony stairs; a twenty-five-hundred dollar, energy-efficient propane heater installed; and I bought a spiffy new queen bed, futon couch, kitchen table, chairs, dishes, appliances, reading lamps and linens, among many other things. Oh and a new TV.
After feeling as if I'd been starring in my own year-long episode of Extreme Makeover, I was all set. Or so I thought.
Just as I was about to announce to the world that we were finally open for business, an ice storm came through and the bathroom pipes froze. Suddenly the place was once again strewn with tools, sawdust and hardware as my significant other and I ripped out cabinets in order to access the culprit arctic air surrounding outer-wall pipes. The cabinets have now been duly restored, albeit with fancy screened sections to let the ambient room heat in, and I've been able to laugh at my steep flatlander learning curve, thankful that at least it didn't happen when I had guests.
So the permits are posted, the pipes are toasty, the pillows fluffed and the website launched. A year after this idea first took hold in my many-chapeaued head, it has finally become a reality and I'm excited to be an innkeeper now too.
Oh but wait – I forgot to get a boot scraper!

is not recognized by the kernel.
doesn't help, still no trackpad shown.
Also, the current Fedora 18 / rawhide does not detect the touchpad.
I've found it mentioned in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14660#c136 that the psmouse-alps driver is integrated into linux >=3.3.0, however I've updated to 3.4 and the mouse is still being picked up as a PS/2 generic.
I've attempted the driver mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/606238/comments/178 however that had no effect.
I have a Lifebook AH532 here as well, I use 12.04.1 with no 3rd party repos/ppa whatever.
and the trackpad works just fine, even though it is not recognized in the way described above.
could you explain what the problems/symptoms are with the default setup?
Your touchpad has fallen back into a compatibility mode as it hasn't been recognised by the kernel. As such, none of the fancy things you can do with it (two-finger scroll, two-finger right-click, disable on typing etc) are disabled.
Touch would work with a proper driver.
I can confirm that Dave Turvene's driver works for me. Thanks, great news!
can i solve this problem on win7?
Thanks to Vince, #14 resolved my problems. Dave Turvene's driver works flawlessly.
Steffen Neumann, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
Confirm this bug with Trusty Tuhr (as of 12 Jan 2013).
Had same problem on Lifebook A512 - Ubuntu 13.10 64bit and 14.04 Live version.
The touchpad's scroll and mid-click (Left+Right button) were not working.
Sorry, can't tell which one of the two methods worked, I'm totally "noob" with regard to kernel modules (made a lot of confiuson and receivde e few error messages)... anyway after a reboot I can tell that the touchpad is now working!
This means that there must be something good into the psmouse-alps-1.3 driver (http://www.dahetral.com/public-download/alps-psmouse-dlkm-for-3-2-and-3-5/view) that could fix the problem.
If there is any way to help to get more informations (run commands, post file settings...) just let me know.
2- Moved the folder "psmouse-alps-1.3" into "/usr/src/"
has been a terrible ordeal. Now my Fujitsu is perfect.

Just to let you know that the touchpad is now working properly on Lifebook A512 with Ubuntu 14.04 and linux 3.13.0-20-generic.
I hope it will be the same on Lifebook AH532.
as you say when I get back to my "natural surroundings".
button for attaching additional debugging information.
addressed as quickly as possible.
Why this bug is still (three years now!!!) marked "incomplete"? What is missing? Please convert it in open or commit the suggested patch and close it!
