ABSTRACT: One of the primary sources of information and inspiration in the creation of new, more secure solutions in traffic organization are the occurrences with most serious consequences called accidents (air), serious accidents (rail) or catastrophes (road, sea). Accidents investigation is usually conducted in terms of searching for the reasons of these events and to make preventive recommendations aimed at elimination of these causes. In this paper, it is proposed to draw more attention to the events of somewhat less severity of the consequences - serious incidents (air), traffic conflicts (road) and incidents (rail, maritime). A model of real serious traffic incident, created with the use of stochastic, timed Petri nets is presented. Simulation experiments were carried out, which allowed for determination of the probability of transformation of the incident into the accident. The proposed method of analyzing serious traffic incidents also allows to determine the effectiveness of the barriers that have prevented an accident in a real occurrence.

Lynfield College teacher Kat Wells and Auckland University researcher Katie Fitzpatrick on the launch of a much-needed mental health teaching resource.
A long-awaited mental health teaching resource is already in such demand 100 copies were pre-ordered before it even launched.
Secondary teachers and students can now engage in learning about mental health in a meaningful way, thanks to the efforts of a Lynfield College teacher and an Auckland University researcher.
Lynfield College health and physical education head of faculty Kat Wells and University of Auckland associate professor Katie Fitzpatrick spent the past year and a half collaborating on a mental health teaching resource, with the aid of a Beeby Fellowship grant.
The 'Mental health education and hauora: Teaching interpersonal skills, resilience and wellbeing' resource is a collaborative project, supported by the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER).
Before Kat and Katie began working on the new resource most schools' go-to document was the 'Taking Action – life skills in health education' booklet, that was last updated in 1994.
"There haven't been a huge amount of teaching and learning resources available for mental health, hauora and resilience, so I think this will help teachers to include some great stuff in their programmes," Kat said.
While the resource has a strong practical focus, it is underpinned by research from the fields of health education, mental health, positive psychology, wellbeing and critical studies in education.
This was because it was important mental health education focused on learning rather than trying to 'fix' specific health issues or behaviours, Katie said.
At the time of writing the resource had not yet had its official launch and already 100 copies had sold, Katie said.
"Teachers had backordered it. Some got it before I did," she said.
Kat was very excited that the book was finally in print. "It is lovely to be able to hold it in my hands," she said.
The resources were created with input and feedback from teachers from a diverse range of schools.
"I was really pleased with how the students engaged in some of the activities that I trialled. I asked lots of the teachers at my school to trial it with their classes so that we could have some good reflections/reviews together and it was great to see how positive it was across the board," Kat said.
Resources have also been created and tested with the help of teacher education students at Auckland university, which was a great help, Katie said.
"I also just want to really thank NZCER. They have been fabulous and really supportive," she said.
Katie believes a larger focus on mental health in the health curriculum could combat the stigma around mental health issues.
"I would like to see schools give health education as much timetable space as other subjects," she said.

Captain America: Civil War Directors Confirm Captain Marvel For Avengers: Infinity War
By Josh Wilding @Josh_Wilding 4 years ago
It's pretty obvious that Avengers: Infinity War (regardless of whether or not that ends up being the title) is going to be a huge movie with a lot of characters, but we can now officially add Captain Marvel to the list. With the two-part film set to start shooting this November and Carol Danvers expected to be cast over the summer, we never had any doubt that she would show up here. But now, the directors of Captain America: Civil War have inadvertently confirmed it in a recent interview.
Talking during an appearance at the Smithsonian Institute, the directors reportedly mentioned Captain Marvel as one of the heroes we'll see in Avengers: Infinity War. They tried to backtrack on the comment shortly afterwards, but it seems that the cat is now out of the bag.
With the Russo Brothers recently confirming that these movies won't necessarily be one big story and that the main reason they're shooting back to back is due to scheduling issues, it will be interesting to see if the first Avengers: Infinity War movie tells Captain Marvel's origin tale before she shows up in her own solo outing later in 2018.
Alternatively, that release could be set before the events of this one or the character may just be saved for the second instalment, which will see Earth's Mightiest Heroes go up against Thanos. We'll just have to wait and see, but the best part about this news is that we'll no doubt get some Captain Marvel casting news before Avengers: Infinity War starts shooting in the Fall.

April, or Autism Awareness Month, has come to an end and Families for Autism Support and Awareness would like to thank the Laredo community for making our awareness campaign a huge success.
Thank you to Commissioner Wawi Tijerina and the Commissioners' Court who on March 30 proclaimed the month of April as Autism Awareness Month in Webb County.
Thank you to all the businesses, parents and family members who lit up their homes blue to honor all the individuals diagnosed with autism.
Also, a big thank you to Mayor Salinas who on April 1 proclaimed April as Autism Awareness Month in the City of Laredo and joined us in honoring the Laredoans and individuals of surrounding communities diagnosed with autism.
Thank you to everyone who wore blue on April 2, or World Autism Day.
A big thank you goes out to all the businesses that helped us out during our fundraising activities.
Also, a heartfelt thank you goes to Hector "Chack" Esparza and Los Generales for hosting an Autism Awareness Trail Ride.
We would like to thank all the local agencies who donated their time and effort to help educate our parents and the local television station that helped us make the commercials.
My hat's off to you all for being friends of autism.
Last but not least, both school districts were able to host an Autism Awareness Week for the students to help them understand what autism is and how to interact with any individual diagnosed with autism. Laredo, you make us proud!
According to nationalautisimassociaton.org, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal functioning of three major areas of the brain: communication/language, social interactions and cognitive function.
Autism occurs in all racial, ethnic and social groups and usually ranges from very mild to severe.
Fifteen years ago, autism was being diagnosed at a rate of 1 out of 10,000.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently announced that autism is now being diagnosed at a rate of 1 out of 50.
Since autism has now reached epidemic proportions, it is extremely important that parents recognize the characteristics.
At this time, we continue to ask the Laredo community to come together and continue spreading the word and learning about autism because families with a family member diagnosed with autism live autism every day.
If you would like more information on autism or have any questions, please call Families for Autism Support and Awareness at 956-763-6044 or visit us at familiesforautism.org.

Gold Panda - Your Good Times Are Just Beginning. Vinyl 12. Bleep.
Your Good Times Are Just Beginning is the second single taken from Gold Panda's third album Good Luck And Do Your Best, which saw the Essex producer land on Berlin-based City Slang. It arrives just a few months after his surprise EP Kingdom – expressing his feelings about Brexit – and features two other album songs complete with remixes by former Ghostly International label colleague Fort Romeau, as well as Japanese producer Daisuke Tanabe and New Yorker John Roberts. The latter reworks 'Chiba Nights' using a similar sound palette deployed on his 2016 album Plum, keeping the original's captivating qualities by warping the high-frequency synth loops, and balancing them with brutal percussion. While Fort Romeau turns the introspective syncopated patterns of 'Time Eater' into a propulsive house hit, Daisuke Tanabe tones down the frantic nature of 'Song For A Dead Friend', albeit retaining some form of tension with his rhythmically complex treatment.

log4cxx::AsyncAppender

AsyncAppender Class Reference
Inherits AppenderAttachable, and AppenderSkeleton.

List of all members.

Detailed Description

The AsyncAppender lets users log events asynchronously.

It uses a bounded buffer to store logging events.

The AsyncAppender will collect the events sent to it and then dispatch them to all the appenders that are attached to it. You can attach multiple appenders to an AsyncAppender.

The AsyncAppender uses a separate thread to serve the events in its bounded buffer.

Important note: The AsyncAppender can only be script configured using the DOMConfigurator.

Some sobering results from Boston Consulting Group and Google Digital Academy: on a 100-point scale, marketers working at advertisers around the world score their organizations' digital capabilities at an average score of just 57. Worse yet, that number hasn't budged since the last time the survey was fielded 18 months earlier. So where are advertising organizations having the most trouble?
To arrive at their conclusions, the researchers surveyed 2,200 marketers at 141 advertisers in 41 countries around the globe. Respondents were asked to rate their teams' capabilities and performance in various skills and channels on a 6-point index, which was then converted to a 100-point index, where 100 equals best practice.
The study results show that mobile advertising is the biggest pain point, with an average digital capability score of just 45. The user experience appears to be one of the big challenges for mobile advertising, according to other research, with smartphone owners complaining of ad clutter and interruptive ads.

This new feature is ideal for corporate offices and other similar controlled environments. Visitors, such as clients, vendors, auditors, and contractors, can enter an employee's email on the splash portal. The employee acts as the sponsor, and will receive an email with a link to approve the visitor's access to Wi-Fi. This feature simplifies guest Wi-Fi management by cutting out a manual registration process, that way IT isn't overloaded with onboarding each visitor's device.
Huawei - Businesses using Huawei controllers and access points can now enjoy a seamless integration and take advantage of all the advanced guest Wi-Fi capabilities Volare has to offer.
Fortinet - For those using Fortinet WLAN solutions and switches, you can now add Volare as an easy overlay solution.
A new trigger is available for the Access Journey, called Login Attempt. This allows an application (including those built with MyApps) to be launched after a login attempt but before authorizing internet access. This makes it possible to steer the user through the entire journey, and works to overcome the common Android action of automatically closing the login browser once successfully authenticated and connected.
Plase note that the previous MyApps (apps.cloud4wi.com) will be continuing working only for the existing apps; however, in order to publish a new apps is mandatory to switch to the new MyApps (developers.cloud4wi.com). Please to contact our team if you have any problem.
Twilio Connect is part of our initiative to integrate Volare with existing third-party services and platforms. With Twilio Connect, you can use your own Twilio Account to send text messages for all the SMS-related communications managed by Volare. This means allowing you to control costs, manage the volume of messages, and even purchase a local outbound number. This is a cheaper option than having to buy the SMS service from us.
Text messages are used across the platform for various services such as sending passwords and reminders, validating accounts during onboarding, and reaching end-users through the Triggered Campaigns tool.
SMTP Connect allows you to set up and use your own SMTP service to send out emails. You can now customize the source (sender's) email, which helps to really brand and personalize your communications. The custom SMTP will be used for all system communications toward end-users, such as emails related to the onboarding process. Tools such as Triggered Campaigns and Email Marketing already have their own custom SMTP settings.
If your business model includes paid internet services, there's a new option to collect payments. OpenPay is a payment gateway available in Mexico. It's a good alternative to PayPal and Robokassa if you're looking to manage payments for Wi-Fi services. More information can be found on OpenPay's website (www.openpay.mx).
We've made the Volare Mobile SDK easier to access and easier to use. Find this tool with all your other apps - in Volare Apps. From there, you can set up credentials and certificates, and use all the capabilities of Mobile SDK which include guest Wi-Fi onboarding and beacon-powered push notifications.
We continuously work to provide best-in-class analytics so that you have the most accurate and meaningful data to guide different business initiatives. We've updated the integrations with our Wi-Fi vendors to reflect changes to their systems. Specifically, we fine-tuned how guest users and connections are calculated using both authentication and accounting data. This means all past data collected has been re-calculated using the new computation method, so don't be surprised if you notice different numbers from when you last checked.
New KPIs are available on the Presence Analytics dashboard. This includes a Unique Visitors history chart.
The phone number validation process allows users to be certified using their phone numbers. The process collects phone numbers, and allows businesses to use this information for marketing communication purposes. We simplified the user experience by making the code more intuitive (4 digits only) and have updated the text messages sent to users.
The click-through login option now offers the same registration fields that are available on the User Registration form, this includes country and date of birth.
From the Admin Panel, you can now export the full list of access points into a CSV file. This same information is available via REST APIs.
We've made minor tweaks, improvements and bug fixes on a few apps and widgets. Updated apps include Weather, Surveys and Coupons.
You will notice a slight modification to the look of the user interface. We made these changes to make your Admin Panel experience easier and more consistent. A few configuration pages have been enhanced as well, Internet Plans being one of them.
Since we have users from all around the globe, we wanted to make it easier to have Welcome Portal applications displayed in different languages. Application labels can now be translated in all our supported languages.

From L'Oréal to Revlon, which brands are polluting the ocean with microbeads?
Blogpost by Taehyun Park - 2016-07-21 at 13:40 Add comment
After discovering that 170 types of seafood contained traces of microplastics, Greenpeace East Asia decided to put 30 of the world's biggest cosmetic and personal care brands to the test.
Microbeads might be best known to you as the coloured beads in your shower gel and facial scrubs, but more recently they've gained notoriety for wreaking havoc on our ecosystems and marine life.
The tiny pieces of plastic are added to everyday cosmetic products as an exfoliating agent, or for colour and texture. They're tiny enough to travel down your plughole and right through water filtration systems and into our rivers, lakes and oceans.
A single tube of face wash can contain up to 360,000 of these tiny plastic spheres. That means that once we have finished washing our faces or brushing our teeth, we unwittingly release thousands of pieces of plastic into our environment, where they go on to 'gently exfoliate' the digestive tracts of seabirds and even enter the food chain.
They can also act as agents to absorb and release toxic chemicals around the sea and into the marine life that ingests them.
How do the companies stack up?
Greenpeace East Asia decided to put 30 of the world's top companies to the test and rank them according to the strength of their commitment to getting rid of microbeads once and for all.
Check out how they rank.
While most of the brands claim to have their plastic pollution problem under control, not one of them succeeded in meeting Greenpeace's environmental standards, meaning that they still have the potential to allow this contamination into our waterways.
Even the top scoring brands in the rank, like Beiersdorf, which has allegedly fulfilled all its commitments to its microbead ban pledge, have only taken action to remove one type of plastic-polythene- from its products, which gives a free rein to other polluting plastics.
The harmful effects of microbeads are now well known and we're gathering more and more evidence that they're bad news. Many of the world's biggest brands have made pledges to rein in these toxic terrors, but they're still not that simple for consumers to avoid.
Firstly, while some companies proudly tout the presence of 'skin-polishing' microbeads in their product descriptions, others contain microbeads that can be barely seen with the naked eye and only appear in the ingredients list as polyethylene, polypropylene or polystyrene.
Secondly, many brands have made promises to do the right thing and ban the beads, but each brand has its own, narrow or confusing definition of what constitutes a microbead. These definitions can vary from function of the product, role of the microbead and can even the shape of the microbead, creating loopholes that could allow the inclusion of microbeads that don't fit into these limited definitions.
So how to get these pesky microbeads out of our products and out of our oceans? The solution is simple. Our governments need to step in and enforce a total ban on the sale and production of all solid microplastic ingredients in all personal care products.
The good news is, it's already happening. The US announced a ban on microbeads in January of this year, while campaigns to do the same are building momentum all around the world.
In the meantime, you can vote with your wallet and choose brands that don't add to this pointless pollution. Check out Flora and Fauna International's Good Scrub Guide or download the Beat the Microbead app and send a clear message to manufacturers that microbeads are unwanted and unnecessary.

Indian companies pursue commercial farming in Africa
by Ishani Duttagupta & Sutanuka Ghosal
Before the football, came the roses. And chances are that the flowers which were used during the inaugural of World Cup 2010 in Johannesburg came from the Ethiopian rose gardens of Sai Ramakrishna Karuturi.
Karuturi, a Bangalore businessman who has been acquiring land in African nations, has already become the biggest rose grower in the world, and one of the world's biggest private land owners. Interestingly, he also owns Karuturi Sports, a Kenyan football club (earlier called Sher Agencies) that plays in the country's premier league. If Kenya had qualified this time around, one of Karuturi's boys would have been in the team. His flowers made it though, thanks to his African pursuit.
What Karuturi started a few years ago has opened the floodgates for many Indian corporates. Several Indian companies have already leased land in Africa and many others too are eyeing opportunities in commercial agriculture in different countries in the continent.
"In many cases, Indian companies that already have a presence in Africa are looking at getting involved in the agricultural sector, even if they are not intrinsically farming majors. There are companies, which are doing large infrastructure projects, that are offered land holdings usually on lease. To enter commercial agriculture, such companies will have to look for expertise within the farming community," says Shipra Tripathi, director and head of CII Africa.
The Tata group has been given a land lease in Uganda to run a pilot agricultural project, while the Jaipurias of RJ Corp have a lease of a 50-acre model dairy farm. The latter is already active in dairy products in African markets such as Uganda and Kenya.
Construction major Shapoorji Pallonji &a Co has acquired the lease for 50,000 hectares of land in Ethiopia and may look at agricultural projects in future. And it's not just large Indian companies, small and medium enterprises in sectors ranging from spices and tea to chemicals are looking at entering the commercial agriculture space in Africa.
There are roughly about 70 Indian companies which are already in the process of making a foray into the farming sector in Africa. The countries which offer big opportunities include Ethiopia, Malawi, Kenya, Uganda, Liberia, Ghana, Congo and Rwanda.
Various Indian tea companies, for instance, are making a beeline to acquire estates. BM Khaitan-owned McLeod Russel India, the largest integrated tea company in the world, has already taken the acquisition route with Uganda's Rwenzori Tea Investments which it bought for $25 million.
The acquisition is being carried out through Borelli Tea Holdings of the UK, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of McLeod Russel India. The Rwenzori Tea Investments has six estates within its fold and can produce 15 million kg of tea annually.
"It is a profit making and dividend paying company. We are also scouting for gardens in Africa to expand our African production. Africa produces some of the best black teas in the world. Our aim is to control 8% marketshare of the global black tea market of 2 billion kg by 2015," says Aditya Khaitan, managing director of McLeod.
BK BIRLA controlled Jay Shree Tea & Industries, which has recently acquired three tea gardens in East Africa, two in Rwanda and one in Uganda, is looking at increasing its presence in Africa.
"With these acquisitions, we have set our foot in Africa and our next job will be to strengthen our presence there through more acquisitions, both in Rwanda and Uganda. We are scouting for gardens there and will acquire estates at the right time and at the right opportunity," says DP Maheswari, managing director of Jay Shree Tea & Industries.
Faced with the high price of tea garden acquisition in India, Rossell Tea is looking at possible acquisitions in Africa. "Any future acquisition is possible only outside the country," says Harsh M Gupta, executive chairman of Rossell Tea.
"We are closely watching the gardens in countries such as Malawi, Kenya and Tanzania. If there is a good offer we are ready to grab that. Typically, we are looking at estates , which can produce 3.5 – 5 million kg of tea annually," he adds.
Likewise, Dhunseri Tea & Industries is also eyeing acquisitions in Africa. CK Dhanuka, chairman of Dhunseri Tea says, "We have set our eyes on gardens in Africa. We will acquire gardens there at the right opportunity."
While acquisitions may work for the tea sector, the right formula for Indian companies looking at commercial farming in Africa is through value-added products, feel experts. The perception about Indian companies in the African countries is that they generate local employment and engage in local skills development. The way forward will be to build on these advantages.
"We are looking at companies which will set up food processing units and contribute towards the food security in the region. Uganda will welcome not just large corporates, but even small companies from various Indian states who may wish to set up farming ventures. We are open to transfer of technology and value-added exports," says Nimisha Madhvani, the high commissioner of Uganda in New Delhi.
The Indian government too is playing the role of facilitator in the African safari. "The business model for commercial farming in Africa will have to be through local investments and value-addition. Indian companies could even look at going beyond horticulture and floriculture and explore products such as oilseeds and pulses which will have a big market in India too," says Gurjit Singh, joint secretary, East & South Africa, in the ministry of external affairs.

Microsoft announced this weekend that ALL versions of Internet Explorer were at risk for "drive-by" attacks from malicious websites. These attacks are currently happening around the world so this isn't a "could happen" attack, it's real.
A possible "drive-by" attack is one where you visit a website and you start getting pop-ups stating you have hundreds of viruses, trojans, bugs, etc. and offering to fix your computer problems, for a price. Another type is the kind where you don't know that it's happening but the malicious site is installing damaging software onto your computer.
The risk of the Internet Explorer issue is that is has the potential of allowing the hackers the same user access as you have on your computer. That means that they'd have the ability to install software, create new user accounts, change or delete your files, hold your computer hostage, and many more things.
Microsoft is working on closing these holes but it could be sometime for it happen. Microsoft has said that they will not fix the holes for Windows XP.
What are your options until then?
Do not click on links that you get in emails, unless you're absolutely certain they're legitimate.
Of course, if you're already using a different browser, you don't have to do anything further.
News Overload? Have You Heard of Flipboard?
By nature, I don't watch the news. Often times it's filled with nothing but bad news and then when I finally hear something I'm interested in, I never really get enough information since the newscasters are limited on length of talk. So, I just don't watch the news.
Flipboard pulls together articles from magazines, blogs, social media sites and other places, categorizes them into sections such as: News, Business, Tech & Science, Arts & Culture, Food & Dining, Travel, Style and more. After downloading the app onto your device, you set up an account and then you choose the sections you want to keep up with. Flipboard populates the sections with articles. From there, you open the category and start flipping. Flipboard shows the first paragraph or so of the article and if you want to read the whole article, tap it and it opens on your device. Flip through the pages and when you're done, back arrow and you are returned to main article lists. If it's an article you want to share with others, there is a "share" icon where you can post it to social media, send it via email or save it.

If you use Chrome as your primary browser, you may have run into an internet page that works best under Internet Explorer, or actually requires Internet Explorer. I ran into this the other day when I was helping someone with a problem they were having in Yahoo Mail, in which the right-click copy/paste function wouldn't work in Chrome but worked fine in IE. In researching it, I found that this problem has existed for quite a while. A day or so later, I was logging onto a site and it wouldn't load, only to find out that Chrome wasn't a supported browser.
The answer to these problems is a Chrome extension that works wonderfully – http://www.ietab.net/home (you'll also see the link to the Firefox Add-In on this page). With this tool, you right-click on the page to have it rendered in Internet Explorer. When you right click, you'll see a menu option for "IE Tab Options. Under IE Tab Options, you can set which version of IE you want to emulate, from versions 7 to 9.

Q: Temporary package installation How can I install some packages temporarily and easily remove them when unwanted several months/years later? The reason for this is that I like to extensively test software before deciding whether to keep it or remove it.
For example, I might install graphic design packages with:
apt-get install inkscape gimp

and mathematics packages with:
apt-get install texlive-full gnuplot

I could use virtual machines for each set of packages (math or design), but it seems like overkill (I do not needed the added security/computational costs).
I could also use apt list --installed and remove the packages I do not need with (for example) apt-get purge texlive-full gnuplot (but this requires me to remember which set of packages I installed - I will always remove the full set at a time and never individual packages in a set).

A: It depends on what is the reason for "removing" the package/s.
You may want: (1) a clean environment, (2) save space (, (3) etc.?)
If you are interested in (1), I list a few alternatives I have used to various degrees (including None):

*

*The Environment Modules package provides for the dynamic modification of a user's environment via modulefiles.

Modules are useful in managing different versions of applications. Modules can also be bundled into metamodules that will load an entire suite of different applications.

There are a number of tools based on modules, listed also below.

*Flavours is a wrapper built on top of Modules C-version to simplify the organization and presentation of software that requiring multiple builds against different compilers, MPI libraries, processor architectures, etc.

*Software Collections is a Red Hat project that enables you to build and concurrently install multiple RPM versions of the same components on your system, without impacting the system versions of the RPM packages installed from your distribution. Once installed a software collection is enabled with the scl command that relies on Modules for the user environment setup.

Since you mention apt, this may not be useful for you.
I googled a little, and it seems to be not available for Debian.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/02/msg00461.html

*The OSCAR Cluster Project uses modules along with a tool called switcher.

I am not certain what is the current status of development and maintenance.
See also https://github.com/oscar-cluster

*Flatpak, but as per this I do not know if it is as versatile as Software Collections.
If you are interested in (2), which I guess it not the case since your objection against a VM was it being an overkill and not the space taken, I guess you are bound to install/remove.
I do not know of any package that administrates install/remove in package bundles.

A: apt-get autoremove will remove packages that were installed automatically to satisfy dependencies of another package IF there are no installed packages depending on them.
For example:
# apt-get install inkscape gimp

will install inkscape and gimp and all libraries and other packages that they have listed in a Depends: or Recommends:(*) line.
# apt-get remove inkscape gimp
# apt-get autoremove

will remove both of those packages and all automatically installed dependencies (unless some other package you installed later also depends on them).   It will remove ALL auto-installed packages that are no longer needed to satisfy a dependency, not just those automatically installed for inkscape or gimp.
or, to purge them instead of just removing them:
# apt-get purge  inkscape gimp
# apt-get --purge autoremove

If you want to keep a package that was auto-installed, you can use apt-mark to mark it as manually installed.  e.g.
# apt-mark manual some-package(s)

You can also mark a package that was manually installed as auto with:
# apt-mark auto some-package(s)

(*) By default, apt will automatically install packages that are listed in either a Depends: line OR a Recommends: line, but auto-installation of Recommended packages can be disabled by setting APT { Install-Recommends "False";}; in /etc/apt/apt.conf or a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/.

SLICK RICK MERCH
$35.55 • Audio CD
Slick Rick boasts that he makes hip-hop that creates memories, and it's an apt description for an album that nostalgically recalls a different age of hip-hop. Unfortunately, the blast back to the past is mostly the result of an album that just sounds old--as if it's been collecting dust in Def Jam's attic for a while, what with Clark Kent's bare-bones production that pushes a boring formula of simplicity to tears. While some songs ("Sparkle," "Memories," and "Kill Niggaz" among them) have a spark of life, it's really up to Slick Rick to hold up the album's monstrous 23 tracks. His storytelling skills are all intact, whether on the X-rated tip ("Adults Only"), moralizing about infidelity ("Two Way Street"), or kickin' the playalistic game with Outkast ("Street Talk"). Overall, it's a likable album, but it suffers from obese length and bland production that only makes the experience seem longer. --Oliver Wang

The long await AMD dual core processor, named Opteron, is finally going to be released on April 21, 2005. This launching date is months ahead of their original summer launch schedule.
The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based chipmaker also is expected to announce its dual-core chips for personal computers will go on sale in June.
In an attempt to encourage rapid adoption, AMD will sell some of the new chips at the same prices as the corresponding single-core models they'll replace, a source familiar with the products said. So, hopefully we can still enjoy low price dual core processors from AMD. Kodus to AMD !!
For more information, please read the sourse.


Around a person, in a situation or location, during an experience? What happened? What was it like? How did you know? How did you react?
Share your experience and then I will share mine.
The first that I actually articulated that way was about 20 years ago when I was working in home health care. We had a patient who was diagnosed with ALS, an elderly woman. I was at a meeting with the family and the county Adult Protective Services social worker at the local hospital. APS was involved because there was severe neglect to the point that the woman had to be hospitalized: malnutrition, dehydration, bedsores, filth, lice, etc.
The APS worker and I were trying to help the family work out the care issues or consider nursing home placement. Their interest was less than promising to say the least and the daughter was downright bizarre. She just did not want to be bothered and talked about her mother like she was a pet goldfish who dared to dirty up it's bowl. It just made my hair stand on end and I felt a strong impulse to leave the room. I was seasoned in my field, no stranger to abuse and neglect and family dysfunction, but this felt different, creepy.
The meeting ended with the daughter standing up and telling us that she was leaving her at the hospital and didn't care what happened to her and then they all got up and left.
The next day I was talking with the APS worker on the phone and out of nowhere she blurted out, ''You know, I actually felt evil in that room.'' I told her I did too. That was just what it was. This was many years ago. I ran into that worker at the grocery last year, both of us now retired. Immediately we brought that memory up and talked about it. I never felt that again in a professional role and I do believe that people can be possessed or oppressed by evil forces.
Ooh I have a story. Back in 2000 I took my best friend to explore this old abandoned hospital I found in the city, Oklahoma City to be exact. I'm not sure exactly when it was built, but it was VERY old and had been abandoned since 1974. We were 2 dumb 19 year old girls and we just waltzed inside in the middle of the day like we owned the place. It was a warm day but as soon as we stepped inside, we got hit with icy drafts that seemed to come out of nowhere. I've always been sensitive to spirits and the paranormal and I just knew this place was haunted, I could feel entities watching us from the moment we came inside. There was a strong feeling was that we weren't wanted there, but we stayed and explored the old hospital rooms anyway. We saw a bunch of old medical equipment still in them, and there were also these weird geometric paintings on the walls too which my friend wanted to take home. I knew that taking anything from a haunted location was a huge no-no, but luckily they were bolted to the walls and she couldn't get them off. We left shortly after that and went home.
That night I was up late watching TV around 3 or 4 in the morning when all of a sudden I felt my bedroom fill with pure evil. It was like a heavy, suffocating cloud of hatred so strong and so sudden that I actually gasped out loud and got chills all over. It was like the feeling you get after you get in a huge fight with someone and they're staring at you, just hating you and wishing for every bad thing to happen to you. I remembered the hospital trip from earlier that day and I realized that something must have followed me home from there, something that wasn't happy about being disturbed and I think my friend's attempted art theft probably had a lot to do with it's anger too. I tried to ignore the feeling but it just got stronger and stronger. It got so bad that I was curled up under the covers, just hiding and crying and repeating "I'm sorry!" out loud to whatever was in my room. It may have been trying to communicate with me cause I kept getting these thoughts that I deserved to die, and I think whatever it was would have killed me if it had the power to.
My boyfriend worked the night shift at a gas station at the time, so I called up there and told him what happened. He knew a lot about spirits and whatnot and I knew if anyone would know what to do, it'd be him. He told me to come up there as soon as possible and I left right away. I got there and explained the situation a bit more in-depth and he gave me a cigarette and told me to light it in my room, take one puff facing each cardinal direction, and rotate counterclockwise until I smoked the whole thing. He was Native and they used tobacco in rituals a lot and I was a bit skeptical that anything could get rid of what I felt in there, but sure enough, it worked. I felt the evil entity when I got home but as the cigarette burned, I felt it weaken and lessen gradually until it was gone completely.
Feel free to think I'm just a loon but I swear I'm telling the truth. I never want to feel that kind of evil ever again, I've never been that terrified in my entire life before or since.

I've told this story before. I was at a big party, and a friend of a friend joined us, and all the warning bells went off in my head.
People flocked around him. He was charismatic...but he gave me the creeps. It was late anyway, so I took off.
Couple of months later, had lunch with one of guys from the party. He asked if I remembered this guy and I told him I did, and I got a bad feeling about him.
Friend told me good call. Guy was all messed up and soon after the party got into some bad things, and ended up killing himself. Real mess.
But I also can't handle really crazy people. For some reason people off the deep end send me into a panic attack. It's like they activate an extreme fight or flight response in me. And for me it's flight....and they make me shaky and my heart pounds. I'm near 60, and that's only happened a couple times in real life, but a guy who showed up on Howard Stern radio show every once in a while would cause it. The guy's name was Elliot Offen?
Have you ever felt that you were in the presence of evil?
Define what you mean by "evil."
Basically, it's about the under appreciated human ability for instinct. Our brains evolved that for a reason, but in modern industrial society we tend to ignore that part of our brain, which is very much not a good thing.
You mean like my ex-wife?
First time, it was with a place: while transiting through Los Angeles, from LAX to Port of Long Beach. The feeling was very bizarre and eerie. Imagine this stereotypical movie scene. You walk into an abandoned commercial building. It's dimly lit, there's grimy dirt all over the floor, etc. Then you see the words "GET OUT" scribbled in red paint on a cinder block wall. Yeah, kind of like that. The whole city felt very intimidating too. I was very happy to finally get on my ship, and not spend any more time there than I had to.
Second time, it was with a person: a new guy my long-time friends invited into our group. The feeling about him is easier to describe. The very second I first saw that guy, I knew there was something fishy about him. I could almost "smell" it. (My friends, by contrast, were enamored with him: they talked like he was the coolest guy they ever met.) Sure enough, when our group went bowling together some months later, and I rolled a ball on his turn by mistake, he started screaming at me like a maniac. I went to the police that night, because I was worried he was mentally unstable.
To this day, I keep my distance with new people my friends introduce to me, until I can vet them myself.

Texas Instruments forecasts indicate decline in chip demand is spreading
(Bloomberg) – Texas Instruments Inc., whose chips go into everything from home appliances to missiles, fell 6.1% in late trading after its quarterly forecast signaled that the semiconductor industry's slump -drivers is spreading beyond computers and phones.
Bloomberg's Most Read
The company said Tuesday it expects fourth-quarter revenue of $4.4 billion to $4.8 billion, below analysts' average estimate of $4.93 billion. Earnings will be $1.83 to $2.11 per share, also missing projections.
While Texas Instruments has the largest list of customers in the semiconductor industry – making its projections an indicator of demand across the economy – producers of cars and industrial machinery contribute more than 60% of revenue. Some industrial customers are now slowing their orders, joining computer and phone makers in cutting spending. But demand from the auto market remains strong, the company said.
"During the quarter, we experienced expected weakness in personal electronics and growing weakness in the industry," chief executive Rich Templeton said in the statement. Overall, orders worsened and cancellations increased as the current quarter progressed, Texas Instruments said.
Many of the biggest companies in the industry, including Samsung Electronics Co., Intel Corp. and Nvidia Corp., warned that demand is falling sharply. But investors were hoping the industry was nearing a bottom.
Although the Philadelphia Stock Exchange's semiconductor index lost 40% of its value in 2022, it climbed seven straight days through Tuesday, suggesting investors believe the industry may have to hit rock bottom.
Shares of Texas Instruments have also fallen this year, although they have performed better than most of their peers. They are down 14% in 2022, making Texas Instruments the fourth-best stock in the index this year.
Chief Financial Officer Rafael Lizardi said it was impossible to say whether the current drop in demand is simply due to customers drawing down inventory or whether there is a deeper concern about the economy.
Even when the economy is stable, "you still have semiconductor cycles," he said. "Over the past two years, I wouldn't be surprised if customers had built up too much inventory. Now we are going the other way.
Net income for the third quarter reached $2.47 per share, Texas Instruments said. Revenue climbed 13% to $5.24 billion. The company had posted double-digit percentage increases for six straight quarters ahead of Tuesday's results.
One of the chip industry's pioneers, Texas Instruments is the largest maker of analog and embedded processing chips, which go into products as diverse as factory equipment and space hardware. These chips generally require less advanced production than Intel Corp. processors. or other digital products. This focus has allowed Texas Instruments to become one of the most profitable companies in the industry and to devote its cash to dividends and stock buybacks.
Texas Instruments management generally refuses to give forecasts of future electronics demand beyond its baseline forecasts. The executives argued that while there will always be fluctuations in the semiconductor industry, its chips have lasting value.
Unlike digital semiconductors such as microprocessors, Texas Instruments products take years to become obsolete, which means stockpiling during times of lower demand is not the danger sign it is. the case for other chipmakers.
The company ended the quarter with $2.4 billion in inventory, up from $1.86 billion at the same time a year earlier. Lizardi said that increase still leaves the company with a smaller inventory than expected. Texas Instruments could further increase its inventory to as much as $1 billion.
Texas Instruments makes about 80% of its chips in its own factories, and the company is expanding that footprint. He said this would result in higher levels of capital spending over the next two years, leading some analysts to express concern that the spending would squeeze his budget for buyouts.
Unlike its peers, Texas Instruments has no plans to cut capital expenditures or slow construction of new factories, Lizardi said.

Amcor slashes 300 jobs as it announces increased profits
Amcor cut 300 jobs yesterday and the packaging manufacturer announced it will close two factories and downsize another.
The redundancies come as Amcor increased its first-half profit by 16.3% to $238.3 million for the six months to December.
"We've have a solid first half," Amcor's managing director and chief executive, Ken MacKenzie, told an investor briefing yesterday.
However, the manufacturer will close its cartonboard mill in Petrie, Queensland, before the end of the year, its beverage manufacturing site in Thomastown, Victoria, will close mid-year, and its North Laverton manufacturing site in Victoria will also be downsized.
Nigel Garrard, managing director of Amcor Australasia, said the redundancies and closures were part of steps to "realign" its Australian operations to what he described as the "challenging conditions" facing all Australian manufacturers.
"The continued strength of the Australian dollar significantly increasing cost pressures, including in areas such as energy costs, have made it impossible for these sites to remain competitive," he said in a statement.
Garrard said the sites were unsustainable.
"We will continue to make adjustments to our operations in Australia in response to these conditions, in order to secure the long-term viability of the business," he said.
"While I regret that these changes will see a number of co-workers leave the business, we must transform our Australian operations in order to remain a viable business for the long term."
The Australian Manufacturers and Workers Union has described the job losses as disappointing.
Leigh Diehm, assistant state secretary for the AMWU in Victoria, told SmartCompany there was an average work life of around 20 years at Amcor's Thomastown site.
"Our members are quite concerned about what is next and it remains to be seen what the future holds for them," he says.
Diehm says there were no doubt a "couple of factors" prompted the job cuts, including the loss of major contracts such as the one with CUB last year.
"I don't think anyone would sit there and see a high Australian dollar is a good thing for the manufacturing industry and overseas imports are hard to compete with," he says.
"We hope the federal government's push to try to encourage local manufacturers to use local supply chains works, unfortunately in this situation that announcement over the weekend has all been a little late for this facility."

Ribera's portrayal of repentance
A 17th century Old Master painting of the repentant St Peter by the Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera (1591-1652) was the highlight of a sale held by Gros & Delettrez (30% buyer's premium) in Paris when it sold for €1.1m (£940,070).
Anne Crane
Painting of the repentant St Peter by Jusepe de Ribera - €1.1m (£940,070) at Gros & Delettrez in Paris.
The unpublished oil on canvas, which is signed Jusepe de Ribera espagnol F/1638, measures 2ft 6in x 2ft 1in (76 x 64cm) and was contained in its original 17th century gilt wood frame, had a 19th century provenance to the collection of Blaise Léon Rochette de Lempedes (1809-76) and had passed down by descent.
A wax seal on the original frame preserved during restoration of the painting in the 1970s indicates the painting was formerly in the collection of the Italian cardinal Flavio Chigi (1631-93).
The painting, which dates from the period when Ribera was based in Naples, depicts the apostle with hands clasped in front of a key and with a sorrowful expression on his face.
It relates to an episode in the bible where, when Christ is arrested, Peter denies knowing him three times. At this point a cockerel crows, recalling a prediction made by Christ that a triple denial by the apostle would take place before the cockerel crows.
Frequent subject
St Peter is a subject that was frequently painted by Ribera throughout his career; around 20 half-length and 10 full-length portrayals by the artist are known.
The price paid at the Gros & Delettrez sale, held at the Drouot auction centre on December 13, was well in excess of the €200,000-300,000 estimate.

Ah, yes, the return of Ivan. His cluelessness makes a nice foil for Mile's cleverness, plus of course the whole handsome/mutant opposites.
As regards "salic law", there was some other material regarding Shakespeare and Barrayar where it's revealed that Shakespeare's plays were a large part of the cultural material the colonists were left with when the wormhole closed, and thus Shakespeare is practically revered in Vor culture. Salic law is used in Henry V to justify his war against France (as it was in actual history), so that gives a good explanation as to why it's a cultural touchstone.

A small, standalone electrochemical hybrid sensor platform, combining flexible electronics and screen-printed electrodes, is demonstrated in the determination of capsaicin through adsorptive stripping voltammetry. The sensing scheme was simplified to be compatible with a low-cost device. The simplification involved eliminating the need for additional modification of the electrode and employing a coarsely stepped squarewave voltammetry, a technique which is applicable with less sophisticated instrumentation. This architecture was found to be suitable for concentrations up to at least 5000 µM with a detection limit of 1.98 µM. The screen-printed carbon graphite electrodes were made reusable through an ethanol rinsing protocol. The effect of ethanol/buffer volumetric ratio in the test sample was shown to greatly influence the analytical data, and a fixed 10% (v/v) was chosen as a compromise between signal-to-noise ratio and not exceeding the solubility limit of the desired upper range.
