Mindful@Sejahtera Community Project is a 2-year emotional management program for sustainable personal development for Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) community and the local society based on Mindfulness training. This is a joint project of the School of Chemical Sciences and Pusat Sejahtera (Health Center), USM. The program is funded by the University-Community Engagement Project under the Division of Industry and Community Network (BJIM) of USM. The Mindful@Sejahtera training was conducted by Dr. Yeoh Kar Kheng and assisted by Dr. Lee Hooi Ling. The project was successfully completed in June 2015.
MINDFULNESS (KETARASEDAR in Malay) is a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique (Oxford Dictionary).
Emotional Intelligence is one's ability to perceive and understand emotions, integrate emotion to facilitate thought and to regulate emotions to promote personal growth (Mayer and Salovey, 2001).
The main aim of the USM Mindful@Sejahtera project is to pioneer in integrating Mindfulness-based Emotional Intelligence techniques for stress and emotional management in universities, schools, hospitals, non-profit organizations, and corporates in Malaysia. This is accomplished by disseminating Emotional Intelligence skills based on Mindfulness training and thus, improving the practitioner's overall well-being and quality of life.

Meat sector news, organic farming, Western Balkan market integration, animal sector investments, COVID-19 measures - The week in Serbian agriculture
©Mylene
Organic production is on the rise in Serbia. The number of subsidy requests in the organic sector doubled this year and according to the Ministry of Agriculture, the area used for organic farming increased by 236% in the past years.
Serbian Government introduces new measures to combat the pandemic
The Prime Minister announced new measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic, including shorter opening hours for cafes, clubs and restaurants until 9 pm. The schools will not be closed. Under the new measures, pharmacies, food deliveries, gas stations and companies working in shifts will be allowed to operate between 9 pm and 5 am while all other businesses will have to close. The new measures entered into force on Tuesday, November 17 and will remain in effect until December 1 on which date the government will decide whether to keep them in place as is, or impose stricter measures. The Prime Minister stated that the next measure would be a lockdown but added that the government does not intend to introduce it until it becomes necessary.
Traveling within Western Balkan (WB) region with ID cards only to be possible soon
According to the Action Plan for Establishing a Common Regional Market, "green corridors" should be set up at the borders of the countries in the Western Balkan region. It will allow perishable goods such as fruits, vegetables, meat, and processed products to cross the border faster and undergo the customs procedure at any time of day, 24/7. According to the portal Nezavisne, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, and Montenegro should also agree on border crossings with expedited procedures and develop a system in 2021-2022 to enable all people in the region to travel to other Western Balkan countries with an ID card only. As of 2022, there should also be a system recognizing degrees of nurses, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, architects, and veterinary surgeons as equal in all the countries, while other kinds of degrees should be added later. In 2022-2024, a regulatory framework for a single payment system should be introduced. In 2023, bodies engaged in public procurements should start cooperating, and there should be a system enabling certificates (including veterinary ones) to be recognized in all the countries in the region, as well as border crossings, the portal reports.
Economic cooperation necessary for the prosperity of WB region
Economic cooperation is necessary for the prosperity of the region, and political support is essential for the establishment of a common regional market. This was concluded at a panel discussion held within the RE-SET SUMMIT online conference, dedicated to the common regional market. At the online conference, organized by Adria Media Group with the Serbian Chamber of Commerce (PKS), it was noted that investment in infrastructure had improved Serbia's rating. Head of the PKS Sector for Strategic Analyses, Services, and Internationalization underlined that doing business in the region had to be as fast, simple, and cheap as possible. The ultimate goal is not the regional market but joint performance in the European market. Western Balkans Six Chamber Investment Forum Secretary-General Safet Gerxhaliu explained there is no success without cooperation in the region, adding that the path toward the EU should be observed from an economic perspective.
Serbian food industry atlas
At a panel discussion titled Strengthening the Economy – National Brands and Innovations, held within the RE-SUMMIT conference, the Minister of Agriculture noted that adopting the decree on new technologies was motivated by outdated technologies, in addition to staff/labor shortages and necessary cost reductions (the sector's main problems). At the same conference the Minister of Agriculture stated that it is high time that Serbia focused on the food industry. According to him, the Ministry will create the first food industry atlas in the upcoming period and adopt a decree regarding new technologies. The Minister pointed out that the food industry ATLAS would not solve any problems, but it would at least indicate what Serbian agriculture has and what it lacked. "For example, we will know how much storage capacities there are in any part of our country, how many silos we have, what their capacities are, and who is in charge of them. Based on all that, we will know what we lack." Silos are just an example, but with the agro ATLAS Serbia will have an overview of other areas as well.

According to recent data, while Serbia imported €67.5 million worth of meat in the first nine months of 2020, exports reached €116 million.
Serbian meat imports twice as high as exports
According to recent data by the Serbian Chamber of Commerce (PKS), the total export of Serbian meat and meat products in the first nine months of 2020 stood at €67.5 million, while meat imports equaled ca. €116 million. As daily Politika explains, Serbian meat imports are growing, mainly in terms of meat used for processing. It mostly comes from the EU, where the prices of pork are down due to the African swine fever and the export ban for German meat exports to China. Owing to various circumstances related to the pandemic, in the mentioned period, Serbia exported only 570 tons of pork (worth around €1 million) and imported 16.6 thousand tons worth €44.5 million in total, mostly from Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands. The Secretary of the Association for Livestock and Livestock Processing within the PKS, stated for the daily that the consumption of meat in Serbia had decreased but that is partly a consequence of the reduced volume of work in the hospitality industry.
State subsidies for agricultural machinery to be limited in number of applications
The President of the Independent Association of Farmers of Serbia requested the Ministry of Agriculture not to reject over half of farmers' requests for the subsidized purchasing of farm machinery. The state subsidy covers 70% of the total cost. He explained to the local news agency that a scoring list had been published, adding that, according to the announcements by the Minister of Agriculture, the state had decided to approve only 2,500 subsidy requests, but there are approximately 5.500 requests in total. "The public call for subsidies for young farmers (under 40) was launched last year, but it has not been realized yet due to the pandemic," the President of the Association explained. The Ministry of Agriculture launched the call for subsidies covering 70% of farm machinery purchases for "young farmers" registered in the past year, but it was not emphasized then that the number of approvals would be limited. Another reason to approve all requests is the fact that there have been no other public calls this year, and the agriculture sector has been reporting good results despite the pandemic, accounting for an increasingly share in Serbia's GDP, the President of Association pointed out.
Increased interest in organic production
The number of organic food producers' requests for state subsidies this year have been twice as high, compared to the funds allocated in the state budget for that purpose. This was stated at an online meeting organized by the National Alliance for Local Economic Development (NALED). Senior Adviser following the Organic Production at Serbian Ministry of Agriculture, Mrs. Milic said that organic producers need support the most at the very beginning of their activities, upon entering the process of land conversion and obtaining certificates. Depending on the type of production, that period can last up to three years. "Subsidies for organic plant production are currently four times higher than those intended for conventional production, while subsidies for cattle breeders are 40% higher," Mrs. Milic noted. She added that the area used for organic production had risen by 236% in the past ten years, but they still accounted for only 0.6% of the overall agricultural land used in Serbia.
New animal feed factory to be built at the outskirts of Belgrade
Al Dahra Serbia plans to build a new commercial and industrial complex for the production of animal feed, according to a request for deciding on the need for an environmental impact assessment study submitted to the Belgrade City Administration. The complex will be built in Kovilovo (outskirts of Belgrade) and the construction will be done in five stages and should include several production lines, storage space, an administration building, and several auxiliary buildings on an area of 95 thousand m2. The factory will be raised on agricultural land close to the motorway Zrenjanin-Belgrade.

José Luis Ruiz Casado (Barcelona, 1958 - San Adrián del Besós, 2000) was a Spanish politician for Partido Popular who was killed by ETA.

Bibliography
José Luis Ruiz Casado was killed by ETA in San Adrian del Besós on September 2, 2000. He worked in private industry at the same time he was councillor of Partido Popular in San Adrián del Besós since 1995. He was married and had two sons. At the time of his murder, he was 42 years old.

Murder
In March 2000, José Ignacio Krutxaga Elezkano and Fernando García Jodrá moved from France to Barcelona to form the Gaztelugatxe command, which would act in the province of Barcelona. They settled in a rented apartment in Barcelona. In July, Lierni Armendáriz González de Langarika joined the brigade. The ETA's members identified the Councillor of Partido Popular in the Town Hall of Sant Adrià de Besòs by the media and later they located his home using the phone book.

After subjecting him to monitoring and surveillance, they knew his habits and decided to kill him out of his house. On September 21 of 2000, around 7:40 a.m., the Councillor came out of his house and went to his vehicle to go to the Town Hall. It was instants later when Fernando García Jodrá, who awaited along with José Ignacio Krutxaga, shot him from the front, a meter and a half away, reaching his face. At that moment, José Luis was lying on the ground and Garcia Jodra shot him twice in the face. He died immediately.

By the death of José Luis Ruiz Casado, the Central Court of Instruction n ° 5 of the National Court opened Summary No. 21/00. By order of July 13, 2001, José Ignacio Krutxaga Elezkano and Lierni Armendáriz González de Langarika were processed by terrorist offences of murder, motor vehicle theft, damage and falsehood in an official document. By order of February 4, 2002, Fernando García Jodrá was processed for the same offences. The summary was concluded by order of June 26, 2002, and raised on July 2 following Section 4 of the Criminal Chamber being attached to Room Roll No. 15/00. The Fourth Section of the Criminal Chamber of the National Court decided by order of November 3, 2002, the opening of an oral trial against the three defendants.

The oral hearing took place on March 12 and 13, 2003. The Fourth Section of the Criminal Chamber of the National Court issued on March 18, 2003, Sentence No. 10/2003. José Ignacio Krutxaga Elezkano, Lierni Armendáriz González de Langarika and Fernando García Jodrá were sentenced to  years in prison. They were condemned to 30 years for a crime of terrorist homicide with the burden of treachery, 2 years for a crime of motor vehicle theft and 2 years and a half for a crime of forgery of an official document. After this attack, there was no particular claim by the terrorist group ETA.

Book Reviews: The Gambler, The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, The Song of Eve, At The Drive-In Volcano
All right, so, on the downside, I haven't updated my Goodreads 2012 reading challenge progress in a while (currently 26 out of the 52 goal by the way). On the plus side, though, my delay has given this review some range. For a couple of years now I've had the practice of rotating my reading between fiction, nonfiction and spiritual. I also am reading at least one poetry collection at any given time. Today's review will have examples of all four!
The Gambler (Fyodor Dostoyevsky, 1867, 100 pp.)
Some years ago, I was taking a writing workshop. When it became my turn to present excerpts of a novel I was working on that involved sexual and romantic addiction, one of the other participants commented that she almost stopped reading, because it seemed too prurient. But then she continued, and said it reminded her of The Gambler. That was both one of the most gratifying things I ever heard in a writing workshop, and the source of a mental footnote to check out Dostoyevsky's- Really long short story? Rather short novel? Novella? -one day. And what a great day it has turned out to be! I always marvel at his ability to write from the point of view of a thoroughly un-admirable character and yet remain sympathetic and compelling. That is in fine display here, and in fact the whole piece seems to be devoid of any admirable characters at all. And yet the descent into obsession (and one could argue that a love addiction precedes any gambling addiction for him) of the young Russian tutor and the tangled fortunes of the Russian aristocrats he works for as they vacation at a German resort is so tenderly and accurately rendered that it works. Nobody presents the darkness of the human heart with as much love and forgiveness as Dostoyevsky. There is obsidian humor and twisted beauty throughout this small masterpiece, and I thoroughly recommend it.
The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects (Edward J. Ruppelt, 1956/1960, 260 pp.)
When I saw that I could download this classic of Ufology for a pittance on my Nook, I was very excited. Edward Ruppelt was the head of the Air Force's UFO investigation, Project Blue Book, from 1951-1953. After leaving that post and retiring from the Air Force, he wrote a book reviewing his tenure. And it makes for very fine reading- I was particularly impressed by his fluid conversational style, it kind of makes we wish he'd written more before his untimely death from heart attack at age 37. Or, you know, lived more. Throughout the book he maintains a great balance between irresponsible credulity and knee-jerk skepticism, and in fact derides both. What one comes away with principally is three things. 1. Because of bureaucracy and miscommunication, the Air Force's attitude toward the investigation, and the resources devoted toward it would often lurch in different directions. This produced a lot of the behavior that outside observers attributed to "cover-up". 2. When the investigation was taken seriously and conducted thoroughly, a lot of seeming mysteries could be identified, but a significant portion of unidentifieds remained. 3. These undientifieds never produced the kind of "proof" that could definitively settle the question of what they were (you can sense his frustration with this intangibility growing throughout his tenure with Blue Book), but many unknowns had excellent, multiple witnesses, and were clearly things outside of any conventional explanation. This is where his original analysis in 1956 more or less ends up. The 1960 edition includes an additional three chapters that have always been controversial since they A) are much more skeptical and B) came out just before his death. Reading them here, I have to say, it is notable how they not only strike a totally different tone than his original ending, they actually put forward multiple statements directly contradicting positions he took earlier, with little explanation of the change in his thinking. I'd be curious to see the last three chapters put through some kind of word-choice/sentence structure analysis to see if the same person even wrote them. And on that note, I will leave you with the mystery!
The Song of Eve: Mythology And Symbols of The Goddess (Manuela Dunn-Mascetti, Simon & Schuster, 1990, 239 pp.)
As documented in earlier reviews, in the last few years I've become increasingly interested in exploring the feminine side of the divine. So when I came across this book at a Friends of the Library used book sale in San Francisco a few years back, I eagerly snatched it up (especially eagerly at the price of $3!). Well worth it-the book itself is lushly beautiful, full of color illustrations drawn from classical and contemporary works of art. These are used to visually highlight the text, which utilizes the structure of Jungian archetypes and examples from throughout world mythology to explore aspects of the feminine, and relate them back to passages and stages in life. While I did feel a little gender excluded from the party at times since it is explicitly written to address women navigating the stages of a woman's life, I found a lot that was moving and meaningful to anybody leading a human life. And one can hardly begrudge making women the focus here as a counter-point to a few millennia of male-dominated spiritual institutions. A beautiful book, inside and out.
At The Drive-In Volcano (Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Tupelo Press, 2007, 85 pp.)
As I said, I'm always reading at least one volume of poetry. Sometimes I have a pipeline built up, but in this case, I was without follow-up when my previous volume wound down. Browsing at a bookstore, I was drawn to this volume by the candy heart on the cover and the poetry of the poet's name. It also had a plug on the back by Naomi Shihab Nye, who I've become a fan of lately. I was not misled- the 57 poems in this volume beguile with their mix of travelogue, journey through a personal past and present, and unashamed mixture of pop culture and more mythic sources into the trip. Aimee Nezhukumatathil has pulled off a mixture that I myself often aim for in my poetry. Which is not just inspiring, but also moving, and really darn pretty to read.
And there we are! It seems unlikely to me that I'm going to hit 52 books, with only two months to go. But hey, I'm not giving up, and you always get further with an ambitious aim than with no aim at all…

one of my favorite scenes
Boner_18
Watching Narcos Mexico finally. I actually find it annoying how much they use subtitles. I'm one of these guys who needs to do work or do shit online (porn) while in "watch" tv... so I guess I have a slight preference for "listening" to tv. Hmm.
I watched The Irishman. It's pretty good but I felt like it was a loooong way to go to make the point that time marches on and crime doesn't pay.
But it's okay.
Crime makes Anna Paquin sad. The end.
I just wish they had given some indication if Jimmy Hoffa liked people to be late for meetings or not. I've always wondered about that but I guess it remains a mystery.
Signed up for Netflix to see what the cool kids have been talking about and watched El Camino.
Quite good, Aaron Paul is unreal.
8 baconbits
I watched Marriage Story which is getting a lot of Golden Globe attention with Oscar stuff sure to come.
I dunno. It's a depiction of a lot of shitty crappy shit. A couple more words I might throw in there: angsty, unpleasant.
So if something is a well-made depiction of that, is that good?
For me, it's not. Whatever I may think of the performances (sure, they're good. More on-the-nose Oscar bait, there never was) - when a movie is an absolute zero on the rewatchability spectrum, then it's gotta be thumbs down.
I'll go 4.1 out of 10 for this one.
Problem is, I have three movies that have made their way to the top of my watchlist, and they're all foreign with subtitles.
Problem is, and I don't really think about this much until times like now, but I do most of my movie watching while eating. At least that's when I start. Maybe I keep going after I'm done eating - but the point is, you gotta start.
Eating and subtitles don't go together particularly well for me.
So a couple of these movies I've had sitting around for like a month waiting for an opening that doesn't come.
Man my life is difficult.
FUCK subtitles.
Fuck them right in their subtitle arses.
leave well enough alone
I think it was all about getting old, being old, just old. Even when they were young they were old. Depressing life. But crime neither pays or doesn't pay, cause they all dead now anyway. Favorite scene: the fish problem in the car
The critics are not digging the Cats movie.
Among the 5 guys I regularly check on Saturday mornings, there is one 0 rating - which I don't remember this guy ever doing - and another has it as the biggest disaster of the decade and possibly the millenium.
19% Tomatometer at the moment.
No sir, they're not digging it at all.
I'm still going to watch it though. Cats.
I watched The Farewell. It's good. It's interesting. There's some stuff to think about in there.
My one comment for the moment is about its lead, a woman who calls herself Awkwafina. I don't know what the deal is with that name. It's clearly a play on a brand of bottled water. Maybe she does comedy and part of her shtick is how awkward she is? Or something?
But she is quite good in this movie. It's a sensitive portrayal. She seems like a real actress to me. There should be more normal roles for her.
Time to either pick a name or use your real name.
Lose the idiotic gimmick name.
I saw Joker
Joaquin did nice
8.1 Matty Rains
6 Underground on Netflix. What the fuck. Extra shitty Michael Bay nonsense. Ryan Reynolds and the French chick from Inglourious Basterds should really know better than to take on such roles.
None Matty Rains At All
whoah I think that's the first none matty rain in 10 years rating history
Binged star wars and saw new one in theaters last night.
These movies are getting TORCHED!

Q: R function to search for a function Update:
The original question is: Is there an R function using the same algorithm implemented in the "lsqnonlin" function in matlab? However, the answer is more related to searching a function in R. I think the answer is in general very helpful for R users. So I edited the title but asked the original question again here: In R, how to do nonlinear least square optimization which involves solving differential equations?
I am doing nonlinear least-square optimizations and found that the matlab function lsqnonlin performs better than all the optimization algorithms I tried in R (including the algorithms in function optimx, nlm, nlminb, solnp, etc.) in the sense that it is faster and found the "more correct" solution.
However, I did not find an implementation of the 'trust-region-reflective' algorithm in R that is used in Matlab. Does someone know if there is already an implementation? Also, is it always true that the 'trust-region-reflective' algorithm is a better algorithm for this kind of optimization?

A: It sounds like lsqnonlin in the pracma package is what you're looking for.
I recommend installing the sos package for R. Its purpose is to help you answer questions like 'Is there a function out there that does this?'. findFn in this package will search what's on CRAN for the term you supply.
library(sos)
findFn('lsqnonlin')

It is a lot in a new closed district, with a young vegetation and very few buildings, so that the house had to be conceived lacking of all data provided by an already established neighborhood. The particular location of the lot, still without adjoining houses, neither added relevant data to the described environment, except those related to its orientation.
The challenge of this request then was to conceive a house which will set their own laws, pending completion of the boundaries lots that, according to the regulations of the neighborhood, shall be only free buildings surrounded by gardens.
The clients, a young couple with a small child, arrive at the studio following the interest aroused by our concrete houses. They value of them both its material and the fluid relationship established between indoors and outdoors, emphasizing the ones which proposed a complex spatiality. As a special requirement they mark out the possibility that some of the rooms may be highlighted with a greater height in relation to the standard.
Quite free, they only added that they had in mind a family growth, certainly indeterminate over time and on its components. They assumed it was logical to think in three bedrooms, not knowing if all would be used as such, and they let us free to propose. It was clear they needed a generous gathering place with an integrated kitchen, a veranda with barbeque and a swimming pool that should be protagonist.
In response to such indeterminate environment we proposed a house with an open interior garden and closed to the street and its future neighbors, defined by two volumes perpendicular to each other that, when intercepted, determine the vertical circulation and, that by its position, leave defined the expansion yard and the pool.
The volume of two plants parallel to the street contains the access and the most private areas of the house and closes itself to the street through concrete walls in different planes that work as screens, letting the light in and controlling the visual. The opposite facade opens frankly to the patio.
The perpendicular volume is on one level and it was proposed of 3.50 m tall and raised on a podium to meet the request of the clients of having a more hierarchized room, and also get a better view of the garden and a better relationship with the two floors volume. In this sector develops the social area that stretches through openings from floor to ceiling in an also elevated expansion, which extends along the pool to finish on the grill area.
Light Treatment and Landscape Views
This is a topic that interests us particularly, so there is, in all the projects, a special intention addressed both to control the incidence of sunlight on glass surfaces as to improve natural light as a project material which brings wealth to the living spaces.
If we understand the openings as such, not as standardized elements with preset measures and positions, but rather as carved into the buildings which, of course permit ventilation and lighting environments, but also leave undefined the indoor-outdoor relationship, framing the landscape, filtering light, reflecting it on a wall, etc., these perforations will be the result of the special way in which we want to establish these relationships.

North declares no fly, no sail zone
Pyongyang has issued a no-fly, no-sail zone in the East Sea, according to a South Korean military official, an indication that the North may likely be planning a mid-range missile launch.
The North fired short-range missiles on Thursday and Friday amid the ongoing joint annual military drills between Seoul and Washington, which kicked off last month and add to tensions each year on the Korean Peninsula.
The military official said that North Korea had prohibited its ships from sailing in the East Sea and its planes from flying over a designated zone on April 1, though the source did not specify how long the ban would last.
This could imply an attempt by Pyongyang to protect its ships and aircraft should it test-fire a mid-range Rodong ballistic missile, last launched over a year ago.
Additional missile-firing from Pyongyang is also expected with U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter scheduled to visit Seoul on Thursday for security talks, which will involve discussion on North Korea's nuclear arsenal.
Pyongyang has not yet notified the International Maritime Organization or neighboring nations of its declaration, according to the South Korean Ministry of National Defense on Monday.
The ban is expected to last until at least April 15, the birthday anniversary of North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, observers in Seoul said.
U.S. and South Korean authorities agree the likelihood is high that North Korea will test-fire a Rodong missile into the East Sea.
Rodong missiles have a 1,300-kilometer range, and North Korea can potentially raise the altitude or increase the weight of the warhead to adjust its range to cover South Korea's southern region.
Pyongyang last launched two Rodong missiles in March 2014, when U.S. President Barack Obama, South Korean President Park Geun-hye and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held a trilateral meeting in The Hague along the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit.
"South Korean-U.S. intelligence is maintaining a 24-hour watch on the situation. Right now, no strange trends have been confirmed," Defense Ministry spokesman Na Seung-yong said in a Monday morning briefing.
Pyongyang fired four short-range missiles on Friday from its Tongchang-ri launch site in North Pyongan province that flew approximately 140 kilometers before landing in the Yellow Sea, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).
The previous day, it fired a similar short-range projectile from its western coast.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un appeared to have supervised the launch on Friday, according to a military official.
Analysts believe the projectiles were short-range KN-02 ballistic missiles.

Q: Why do one have to run sudo apt-get most times before installing a new software Just out of curiosity, I've being wondering why should a debian or ubuntu user have to run sudo apt-get update or sudo yum update (in the case of other distros) most times before installing a new software. E.g:
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

A: sudo apt-get update

updates the list of applications your computer knows of.
If you have not ran this command in a while and try to install new software, it will not install because your computer doesn't know it exists.

A: Not necessarily if you ran that command shortly enough before.
It just updates repository metadata to make sure the subsequent command doesn't fail because of out-of-date metadata.

A: This is somehow the concept of :
Look before you leap and can be said as update before install.
Now note that In linux world update and upgrade are two different terms. To get a short and sweet knowledge refer to these posts at AskUbuntu, Unix StackEx and It's FOSS.
Now the difference between the two can be figured out by man apt-get :
update
    Used to re-synchronize the package index files from their sources.
    The indexes of available packages are fetched from the location(s)
    specified in /etc/apt/sources.list(5).
    An update should always be performed before an upgrade or dist-upgrade.

upgrade
    Used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the
    system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list(5).
    Packages currently installed with new versions available are retrieved and
    upgraded; under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed,
    nor are packages that are not already installed retrieved and installed.
    New versions of currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without
    changing the install status of another package will be left at their current
    version.
    An update must be performed first so that apt-get knows that new versions
    of packages are available.

I suggest you read again the last lines of both commands that explicitly answers your question that is
You get the latest version of a package to install
Also, See this image below ( Created by me ) to get a better view on it.

Feel free to add-in more details.


Objective:To analyze the ultrastructure of autophagosome. Methods: We used transmission electron microscopy to analyze the cell samples of autophagy, and to find the characteristic structure of the autophagosome, and to identify the other cell structures which was similar to autophagosome. Result: Autophagosome had the characteristics of double layer or multilayer membrane and inclusions, it could be identified from the other cell structure. Conclusion: Double layer or multilayer membrane and inclusions are the characteristics of the autophagosome structure which contains mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome and other cytoplasm components.

Potential impact transfers this season aren't limited to QBs
By STEVE MEGARGEE - Sep. 05, 2020 11:29 AM EDT

While most of the offseason chatter surrounding college football transfers inevitably focuses on quarterbacks, plenty of notable players at other positions also switched teams and could make major impacts for their new schools this fall.

While most of the offseason chatter surrounding college football transfers inevitably focuses on quarterbacks, plenty of notable players at other positions also switched teams and could make major impacts for their new schools this fall.
Miami may offer the clearest example of this.
Quarterback D'Eriq King justifiably has garnered much of the attention in the Hurricanes' preseason camp. The graduate transfer from Houston is one of the nation's most dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks when healthy.
But the Hurricanes also added former Temple defensive end Quincy Roche, who also will play a major role in determining whether Miami bounces back from its 6-7 finish last season.
Roche was the American Athletic Conference defensive player of the year last season as he recorded 13 sacks and 19 tackles for loss. His presence will be even more important for Miami now that the Hurricanes won't have Gregory Rousseau, who opted out of the 2020 season after collecting 15 ½ sacks last year.
Roche was a third-team selection on the preseason Associated Press All-America team. Rousseau had been a first-team pick.
"I think it's no different than what I did at Temple, being a guy in the room that has to take control of the room," Roche said. "There's a lot of talent around. There's a lot of talent in the rom. We're so deep on defensive end. Obviously we're going to take a hit with Greg (opting out), but it's next man up."
That group includes another transfer in Jaelan Phillips, who sat out the 2019 season after coming over from UCLA.
Here's a rundown of other notable non-quarterback transfers who could make an impact on the college football season. This list reflects how Miami isn't alone in hoping for contributions from multiple transfers this season. Previous schools are noted in parentheses.
TEXAS WR TARIK BLACK (Michigan)
Black dealt with injuries for much of his three seasons at Michigan but played 12 games last season and caught 25 passes for 323 yards and one touchdown. He joined Texas as a graduate transfer and has garnered plenty of praise in preseason camp. The Longhorns could use Black after losing Devin Duvernay (106 catches, 1,386 yards, nine TDs) and Collin Johnson (38-559-3) from last year's team.
BAYLOR OT JAKE BURTON (UCLA)
Burton, a two-year starter at UCLA, decided to transfer to Baylor when the Pac-10 opted to postpone its season. He just enrolled at Baylor last month and may need some time to catch on, but he is talented enough to compete for a starting spot at right tackle. Baylor gave up 38 sacks last season.
FLORIDA STATE RB JASHAUN CORBIN (Texas A&M)
Although he played only two games last year before a hamstring injury knocked him out of the rest of the season, Corbin rushed for 483 yards in 14 career games at Texas A&M. He should boost a backfield looking to replace Los Angeles Rams second-round pick Cam Akers. When he was at Memphis, new Florida State coach Mike Norvell had a knack for developing outstanding running backs such as Darrell Henderson, Patrick Taylor and Kenneth Gainwell. Corbin also is a quality kick returner.
LSU LB JABRIL COX (North Dakota State)
Cox collected 258 career tackles - 32 for loss - plus 14 sacks and six interceptions while helping North Dakota State go 45-1 and win three Football Championship Subdivision titles over the last three years. He's now trying to help LSU win a second straight College Football Playoff championship. LSU certainly could use him after its linebacker corps lost first-round draft picks K'Lavon Chaisson and Patrick Queen as well as third-round selection Jacob Phillips.
MISSOURI WR DAMON HAZELTON (Virginia Tech)
Hazelton is coming to Missouri as a graduate transfer after catching eight touchdown passes each of the last two seasons at Virginia Tech. Hazelton had 31 receptions for 527 yards last season after catching 51 passes for 802 yards in 2018. Missouri is Hazelton's third school. He caught 51 passes for Ball State in 2016 before transferring to Virginia Tech. Missouri's receiving corps also could get a boost from Keke Chism, a transfer from Division II Angelo State.
NOTRE DAME WR BEN SKOWRONEK (Northwestern)
Skowronek caught 45 passes in back-to-back seasons for Northwestern in 2017 and 2018 before an injury caused him to play just two games last season. The graduate transfer brings experience to a receiving corps that must replace Pittsburgh Steelers second-round draft pick Chase Claypool and won't have Kevin Austin for at least part of the season due to a broken foot. Notre Dame also is hoping former Ohio State reserve safety Isaiah Pryor can help out the secondary.


Honiara, 2 May 2014 - The mosquito fogging being conducted by the Vector Borne Disease Control Program (VBDCP) will not harm humans, reminds the World Health Organization (WHO) and Solomon Islands Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS).
VBDCP staff from Honiara City Council (HCC) and Guadalcanal Province (GP) have been conducting 'mosquito fogging' operations in Honiara and in some areas of GP over the last month. These operations have been in response to the increased numbers of dengue cases that have been recorded, mainly in HCC. Precautionary fogging is also being applied at the major evacuation centres following the flash flooding in early April.
The aim of the mosquito fogging operations is to kill, or 'knock-down', any adult dengue mosquitoes that may be carrying the dengue virus. The mosquitoes become infected with the virus after biting and taking blood from someone who is sick with dengue. To try and prevent the infected mosquito from biting another person and passing on the disease, the VBDCP is applying the mosquito fog in areas where a lot of dengue cases have been reported to try to kill as many adult dengue mosquitoes as possible.
The insecticide used in the mosquito fogging is a synthetic pyrethroid that is very similar to the insecticides used in most domestic insect spray cans that are found on supermarket shelves. The 'fog' is created by blasting the mixture of insecticide and water into very fine droplets through the fogging machine. The amount of insecticide in the fog is very small, and is dispersed at quantities that can only kill something as small as a mosquito, so at the concentrations used there will be no adverse health effects on people who are occasionally exposed to the fog. The type of insecticide being used in the fogger is also completely odourless.
The 'mosquito fogger' is a very large and noisy machine that is transported in the back of a truck. The vehicle has a warning light and is driven slowly around the streets where high dengue numbers have been recorded, blowing the fog into the yards for a distance of up to 90 metres away. It is useful for residents to leave all doors and windows in their house open at the time of fogging, as this will allow the fog to enter the house and kill any mosquitoes inside. Mosquito fogging operations are usually carried out between 5.30-7.30am, or 4.30-6.30pm, as this is the time when the outdoor dengue vector is most active and is looking to bite.
While the fogging operations will have some success in killing adult mosquitoes in the areas that are treated, the residents of Honiara and GP are warned that this activity alone is not enough to protect everyone or prevent all dengue infections. To reduce and control dengue outbreaks a number of actions need to be taken not only by public authorities but also by residents. These include making sure there are no dengue mosquitoes breeding in your yard, such as in tyres, drums, buckets and any water storage containers, and that you also protect your family from mosquito bites inside and outside the house during the day and in the early morning and early evening. The best methods of personal protection are to apply insect repellent and/or to wear long sleeves and long pants.
The MHMS plans to continue with the mosquito fogging operations until dengue case numbers have dropped substantially. The National VBDCP will be publishing a fogging schedule in the newspapers each week, which will list which suburbs they are planning to fog each day. The public are advised by MHMS not to be alarmed when mosquito fogging is being carried out in your area, but to cooperate by staying clear of the moving vehicle and of the fogging machine.
Mosquito fogging operations are being conducted at locations in HCC and GP where dengue case numbers are increasing.
The insecticide in the fog is not harmful to human at the low concentrations used and it has no odour.
Fogging operations are conducted in the early morning or late afternoon.
Residents are advised not to be concerned about the fog, and are also requested to leave their doors and windows open when the fogging machine is in their area, so that the fog can kill mosquitoes inside the house.
Residents are also advised that they need to continue to prevent dengue mosquitoes breeding in their yard and to protect themselves and their family from mosquitoes bites during the day and in the early morning and early evening.

The tour of the island is a constant alternation with picturesque villages and beaches. Nisteri, Papalimani, Pachis, Rachoni, Prinos, Potos, Limenaria, Alyki, Potamia, Chrissi Akti are just some of the places that will fill your days.
Particularly remarkable, is the traditional settlement KAZAVITI which is 5km far away from Prino and really worths being visited in order to taste the local food.
The local buses go through the main lanes. You will easily find stores to rend a car or a motorbike.

Discussion in 'PowerPC Macs' started by GoldfishRT, Sep 20, 2015.
So, me being a bit adventurous and extremely (read: EXTREMELY) cheap I ended up purchasing an iMac G5 20", 2.0Ghz ALS for about fifty bucks - it's in nice shape. I want the run down on what I can do with this machine and how I can do it. Frankly a machine from 2005, barring software support, is plenty powerful for most of my needs, and this thing will be running as my daily driver until mid-next year.
WebBrowsing - Is there something available that isn't completely outdated and broken?
Netflix and YouTube - I know the former is probably a stretch, can these possibly handle h.264 @ 720p60? If it can't handle that codec but that resolution/framerate is possible what's the best way to convert my videos into something more manageable like mpeg2?
iTunes - Do these things support the store at all anymore? I just want access to my podcasts.
Games! - I've got a PS4 but I like to use my mouse and keyboards from time to time. I know Steam is out of the question but I vividly remember Quake IV coming out for PPC; will this thing chug through that? Also don't mind going through some old PPC gems not available today so I'm happy to hear some suggestions.
Office - I believe 2008 is the last stop for PPC and does support docx (I think). iWork 09 is Apple's last offering.
Web - Tenfourfox or aurora. Tenfourfox is my personal choice, but I run tiger.
Youtube - It could probably do 720p using quicktime enabler, but it wouldn't do as nicely as a modern intel mac. Even the nicer G5's have trouble with youtube.
On my Dual 2.5GHz PowerMac G5, I use Webkit as the web browser. Best one I've ever used on a PPC. You should give it a go as well.
Yeah webkit or even safari would be a good option for online videos. There are a few older, lighter browsers which do better for cpu intensive web tasks, but I'm unsure how secure they are.
Thanks for the input guys. I'll definitely try TenFourFox and Webkit as well.
1. Office 2008 offers full .docx support but a number of us use 2004 with the compatibility pack just fine! 2004 is a bit faster and lighter on resources, but 2008 will work great and has better compatibility.
2. TenFourFox with @eyoungren 's tweaks is by far the best web browsing experience. Leopard WebKit is another up to date browser that does a nice job!
3. You can get Skype 2.8 to work for text chat by spoofing the version number. Alternatively, you can try Skype for web in TenFourFox, but I personally have never tried it.
4. This is by far the most seamless way to use YouTube. Alternatively, you can use regular browser based YouTube in TenFourFox or try QuickTime Enabler. Netflix to my knowledge has zero support for these machines.
5. iTunes 10.6.3 under OS X Leopard still works great with the iTunes Store!
6. There are a number of titles for PowerPC in terms of gaming. Battlefield 1942, Minecraft, and AssaultCube are all some of my favorites.
DyNiForm's PowerPC Archive which is hosted by @gavinstubbs09 is the best place on the net to get free software for these PowerPC Macs!
Any links to a good guide for this?
Nice to know that while feature wise it's being left behind it at least has basic functionality with the store. I doubt it but can it sync a modern iPhone?
This is the most recent guide to my knowledge by @gavinstubbs09!
VLC is a great tool to have on hand for all video content.
iTunes 10.6.3 is capable of syncing pre-Lightning (30 pin connector) iOS devices running iOS 6 and prior.


Thugs with a microphone are still just thugs.
Well this is a confusing mess. I want to tell you that you have bad opinions but this is just a poorly constructed comic. Bad Eric.
How about the conversation starting with obey the laws, become a responsible citizen and contribute to society. We wouldn't need yours!
He's right Eric it is a poorly constructed comic, most molatov cocktails have a rag stuck in them not a cork so therefore all that you've tried to say in this comic is negated….because #accuracy.

Q: schedule meeting in Teams from sharepoint portal I have SharePoint 2016, and I have a task to schedule meeting in Microsoft Teams from Sharepoint portal programmatically Is it possible?

A: There is no out of the box capability to do this with SharePoint Server. You would need to create something like a [Remote] Event Receiver that called the Graph API to CreateEvent with an online meeting.
Since your question is general and open ended, investigate this method and come back with specific questions you might have.


There are so many ways the Philadelphia Eagles can go in the 2019 NFL Draft, and offensive line could be an area they invest heavily in this spring, especially with fourth-year players Halapoulivaati Vaitai and Isaac Seumalo about to enter the final year of their rookie contracts.
Couple those circumstances with left tackle Jason Peters being 37 years old and Pro Bowl guard Brandon Brooks possibly missing the season with a torn Achilles tendon, and there's legitimate concern as they begin in earnest to plan ways to keep quarterback Carson Wentz upright for the entire season for the first time since he was a rookie in 2016.
In this fourth installment of a seven-part series, we list some offensive linemen to watch at the NFL scouting combine, which begins next week in Indianapolis, and what kind of fits they might be for the Eagles.
Offensive linemen polished enough to start in the NFL right away are rare. Taylor is widely considered to be one of those.
Taylor is so naturally big and strong that he actually has lost weight since high school, when he played (and dominated) at 385 pounds.
And smart enough to make the SEC Academic Honor Roll in 2018.
The biggest concern with him is weight that has fluctuated drastically over the last four years.
Coming into a pro system with individualized nutrition plans and the like could be the best thing that happens to him.
So it's not just the Eagles. Everybody is going to want to talk to him, and he would be considered a steal at No. 25 overall, which is when the Eagles are first scheduled to pick.
At 6-4, 330 with a powerful skill set, his future might be at guard, which could suit the Eagles just fine no matter how much they might like Seumalo and second-year prospect Matt Pryor.
This is not only because of Brooks' injury but because center Jason Kelce is lot closer to the end of his career than the beginning, and Seumalo could be the man they choose to replace him.
Like Ford, he also could be a candidate for guard. But according to Matt Miller of the Bleacher Report, teams shouldn't be so fast to typecast.
"I would argue the tape also says he can play tackle at a high level in the NFL," he wrote. Risner should be considered late in the first round if there is a run on linemen.
Risner had shoulder surgery two years ago and will be 24 by the time training camp opens.
No matter. He's a player of extreme interest to all.
His versatility should help him at the next level, in which he most likely projects as a center if the scouting report by walterfootball.com is accurate.
It essentially says McCoy is outstanding on the perimeter and with blocks on the second level and in the open field but struggles to move the pile straight ahead.
Pretty sure the Eagles wouldn't mind having another Kelce.
Versatility is key for the Eagles offensive line, and Williams has the skills and power to play inside and outside. However, that also may mean they'd have to trade up from No. 25 to get him.
What Williams brings to the table is polish, pedigree and experience in a system that works.
Wlliams almost has to be technically proficient, though, because at 6-4, 297 he lacks the typical bulk of most other centers and guards.
Testing well at the combine would serve him particularly well.

Michael V. Hynes
Nuclear Sciences and Engineering MIT
When the Manhattan project started there were two known pathways to developing a nuclear weapon – the plutonium pathway or the enriched uranium pathway. It was hoped that the plutonium pathway would be the best because it was easier to manufacture the plutonium than it was to enrich the uranium.
The other essential technology was the assembly technology. It was well known that the subcritical masses of plutonium or uranium needed to be assembled very quickly to form a supercritical mass. The early estimates for the assembly velocity were based on the spontaneous fission rate for U-235, which resulted in an assembly velocity of about 300 m/s – well within the reach of Naval gun design. The idea was to take a subcritical mass as a projectile and another subcritical mass as a target at the end of the gun, as shown in Figure 1.
In the figure propellant is detonated to drive the subcritical projectile into a subcritical target. Also shown in the figure is a very heavy dense material labeled "Tamper", which helped contain the explosion to let the chain reaction develop more completely and to help reflect neutrons back into the supercritical mass assembled. Not shown in the figure is the neutron initiator located in front of the subcritical target. This was a very small crenelated cluster of polonium and beryllium foils which when collapsed released a burst of neutrons. This burst comes from the (alpha,n) reaction on beryllium. The polonium is a strong alpha emitter. These alphas have very short range in air, requiring the beryllium and polonium foils to be very close together before the reaction can take place. The incoming subcritical projectile collapses the crenelated cluster of polonium and beryllium foils, bringing them into close contact and promoting the (alpha,n) reaction. This burst of neutrons assures that the chain reaction is initiated at the moment when the two subcritical masses are fully assembled, thus allowing for more efficient burning of the nuclear materials.
It turned out that plutonium has a significantly higher spontaneous fission rate than U-235. This very high spontaneous fission rate required an assembly velocity more than 10 times greater than that available in any Naval gun design.
Both pathways for building a weapon were being followed at Los Alamos – the uranium pathway was time-consuming for the enrichment, and the plutonium pathway needed a very rapid assembly technology.
U-235, the isotope needed for the weapon, has a 0.711% natural abundance which is far below the 80% which is needed for the weapon. During the Manhattan project several enrichment techniques were tried in parallel – the most successful being electromagnetic separation which involved a vacuum chamber in a large magnet which directed the ionized natural uranium into an array of cups that would catch the different isotopes as they orbited differently in the magnetic field. This technique is very time-consuming and required very large amounts of electricity. Hundreds of magnet setups were installed in huge warehouses at Oak Ridge, where electricity was plentifully available.
Pu-239 is the isotope of plutonium that is needed for a weapon. All isotopes of plutonium are made in a reactor as part of the uranium fissioning process. However, if the reactor rods are left in until the economic life of the uranium in the rods is consumed, then many even isotopes of plutonium will be made in addition to Pu-239. These even isotopes can decay through the (alpha,n) reaction neutrons from which makes it difficult to fully assemble the plutonium into an explosive mass. Consequently, during the Manhattan Project, the rods were simply pulled out early thus halting the chain reaction and assuring only Pu-239 would be most abundant. The plutonium can simply be chemically extracted from the rods.
By 1945 there was enough material on hand for only a few nuclear weapons. If more weapons than the Trinity test and the two that were dropped were needed to force Japan to surrender, the US war-planners needed a rapid material production technology that could produce more weapon materials in a short time- thus the plutonium pathway was followed as well as a uranium one.
Very fortunately there were some very clever explosives engineers at work at Los Alamos. These explosive engineers knew a lot about explosive lenses. These devices were used commonly in the mining trade. However, those lenses produced a planar wave shock front. What was needed for the assembly of the sphere of material was a spherical shock front. After a great number of unsuccessful trials, the concept of using both a fast and slow explosive in the lens itself allowed for the creation of a spherical-shaped shock front. The idea is to take a shell or a sphere of Plutonium, surrounded with a soccer ball like tiling of explosive lenses. Each of these lenses would replicate the curvature of the metal that it was in contact with. Naturally each of these lenses had to be detonated at very precisely the same time.
A common illustration of an implosion weapon like the Nagasaki device is shown in Figure 2.
In the figure the outer layer of the device is made up of the explosive lenses in yellow and tan and at the very center in light blue is the plutonium core that is to be compressed. The figure illustrates both a slow explosive and the fast explosive as part of the explosive lens. The slow explosive forms the conical center of the lens whereas the fast explosive forms the outer layer. The detonation happens on the outside and at the center of each of the top of the lenses.
The result of the different speeds of the fast and slow explosives allows the outer perimeter of each lens to reach the surface of the metal faster than the center part, which allows for the creation of the spherical shape of the shock front. The shaping and casting of these lenses was a major technical problem at Los Alamos in the 40s.
In the figure the lenses first are compressing a set of tamper/pusher materials that are there to contain the explosion initially and reflect the neutrons back into the plutonium core so that they can be used in the chain reaction. The other utility of these materials is to better match the momentum transfer across the density changes from low-density explosives to higher density metals. At the center of the plutonium core is a neutron initiator which when the core is fully compressed releases an enormous pulse of neutrons that assures that the chain reaction is initiated at the point of maximum compression.
During the Manhattan project the designers were confident in nuclear physics for the plutonium but uncertain as to the design of the explosive lenses. If one of these devices was dropped over Japan it was essential that it detonate. To resolve the uncertainty about the implosion design Los Alamos scientists did a test on July 16, 1945 at the Trinity test site near Alamogordo New Mexico. The yield was about 12 kt. The first nuclear explosion at Trinity is shown in Figure 3.
On August 9, 1945 the implosion design device was dropped on Nagasaki Japan and yielded about 20 kt.
Plutonium is a metallurgist's delight. Plutonium is stable in a number of phases even at room temperature - these different phases are called allotropes. The Alpha phase, which is most common at room temperature, is like glass whereas the Delta phase is like aluminum. Compressing a sphere of glass is not preferred over compressing a sphere of aluminum. Consequently, the mechanical properties of the Delta phase were preferred. To stabilize the plutonium in the Delta phase required the addition of a trivalent atom like aluminum, cerium, indium, or scandium or in the case of the United States, gallium. The problem is with the 5F electron in the Plutonium metal lattice. This electron cannot make up its mind as to whether it's in the valence band or the conduction band. As a consequence, even at room temperature phases tend to flop around between Alpha, Beta, and Delta causing enormous changes in the material properties of the metal. With the 1% addition of gallium the Delta phase is frozen in the lattice for all temperatures of importance.
The US uses gallium because the other trivalent elements don't offer the same corrosion resistance as gallium does. It is desirable to keep the oxygen content as low as possible and to discourage other high (Alpha,n) cross-section materials as they will give rise to neutrons of significant energy which can possibly pre-trigger the device.

The partial shutdown of the US government is now on day 34, with 800,000 employees still not getting their paychecks.
TSA agents and air traffic controllers are calling in sick. The FBI, Secret Services and IRS are all cutting back on their normal services. The USDA and FDA have halted inspections of food and drugs. For the first time ever, US military personnel are not being paid, as they defend our country.
While the stalemate between Congress and the President continues, there's been a heartwarming outpouring of support for the government employees caught in the middle. Companies across multiple industries are providing discounted or free services to those affected. Restaurants, chefs, and food banks are offering free meals. Banks are suspending interest on loans; PayPal is offering cash advances to its federal employee customers.
Helping those in need crosses party lines and political affiliations. It brings out the best in all of us. It also exposes just how many functions that we rely on every day are performed by government employees.
Let's hope that this situation is resolved sooner rather than later, but also that once these people go back to their jobs and their normal lives, we don't lose the compassion and caring that brought people together to help those who were down, but not out.
