How the very first programmable drum machine changed the sound of reggae music
As a bass player I am always listening to the drum and bass line in every song. Rhythm is what my ear is drawn to and its how I think about and conceive of music. And as a bass player, I have a lot of love for drummers, who if you pardon the acutely American sports metaphor are a lot like baseball pitchers (or for those of you in the U.K. a Cricket bowler) who either come at the batter directly with speed and power (hard bashing players) or try to fool them with tricks and changes (finesse players). When it comes to ska and reggae music my personal favorite drummers are John Bradbury of The Specials (who manages to somehow mix finesse into his power drumming) and Lloyd Knibbs of The Skatalites who always kept me rapt with his incredible finesse playing.
Though drum and bass rhythms drive the various eras of ska, rocksteady, reggae, 2-Tone, dancehall and beyond, drums and drummers have defined each distinct phase. And like the divide in rock music that occurred in the mid 70's when synthesizers and drum machines began to make their way into popular music (see the brilliant BBC Four 'Synth Britannia' documentary for more information), reggae also had a similar moment when the very first drum machine arrived on the island in the mid-70's and slowly became dominant during the early 80's.
First a bit of history about drum machines. The Eko ComputerRhythm is generally considered the very first programmable drum machine. Like the very first computers, the original drum machines were large, bulky, expensive and hard to program. The Eko ComputerRhythm had a 6 row push-button matrix that allowed users to enter a pattern manually, or to push punch cards with pre-programmed rhythms through a reader slot on the unit. Watch a demo of one the earliest Eko's:
What the EKO lacked in accessibility and ease of use they made up for in changing the sound and texture of music and also elevated the producer to the role of musician. This was particularly true in Jamaica where Sound Systems and later record labels were all driven by personalities who were driven to one-up the competition with new talent, but more importantly new sounds.
The Upsetters' 'Chim Cherie' is a crucial piece of music history and the holy grail of electronic reggae music. Created as a white label dub plate for the Pressure Sounds label sometime in the late 70's, it marks the pivotal moment in time when the EKO was employed on a reggae track and this is the result of its very first use. The song marked a turning point for so much electronic dance music whose original roots all start in Jamaican recording studios over 35 years ago. The rhythm was later used to great effect in Shinehead's 1984 version of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. Have a listen to both versions:
According to the story, the drum programming for 'Chim Cherie' was handled by The Wailers bassist Aston 'Family Man' Barrett and the song was produced and dubbed out by Lee "Scratch" Perry. The dub sounds much heavier than the original, and while the sound suffers from age, the tape degradation does lend the tune an incredible, hazy quality. Play it loud and play it often!

Thanks Casio! Great read! I posted a link to your blog from my MOTB Facebook page.
Great read, Marc. I dig your historic posts.
Just a small clarification, the Pressure Sounds release is a reissue from last year of the original, which apparently only came out on acetate for sound systems.
Thank you Jon! I did see that the Pressure Sounds release was just reissued last year. Its amazing that those songs were all unavailable for so long.
I wonder what year Chim Cherie was made, as Bob Marley was certainly using a drum machine as early as 1974 on the Natty Dread album.

Home Legal Trump administration preparing to release plan to overhaul U.S. immigration system
Trump administration preparing to release plan to overhaul U.S. immigration system
Atty Caroly Pedersen
In an effort to turn his anti-family based immigration "chain migration" rhetoric into law before his upcoming reelection campaign in 2020, President Donald Trump aims to release a restrictive new immigration reform plan and has assigned the task of preparing the blueprint for the proposed law to his son in law Jarred Kushner.
Over the past months, Kushner has been working diligently on preparing an immigration plan to overhaul the current U.S. immigration system by replacing family-based sponsorship with a merit-based system focused more on education and investment, enhancing border security through modernization and reducing refugee and asylee migration.
The administration is working with Senate Republicans to gain support prior to release of the sweeping plan to ensure that the measure gains the momentum needed to pressure Congress to act on immigration reform legislation. To that end, Trump and Kushner met with Republican leaders last week to discuss the details of a new immigration policy and to get feedback.
While details of the plan remain unclear, media reports reveal the plan would dramatically change our current system by nearly eliminating family-based immigration in favor of "highly skilled workers", gutting asylum protections, and terminating the yearly Visa Lottery. The plan may be very similar to the RAISE Act of 2019, recently reintroduced in the Senate by Republican Tom Cotton, which also seeks to end most family-based "chain" immigration sponsorship by replacing it with a merit-based system.
It is said that the plan in its current form does not include protections for Dreamers under DACA, and instead the administration hopes to use that as a bargaining chip with Democrats. And, while the fate of the Trump plan is uncertain, most members of Congress appear to agree that our current immigration system needs a tune up, and many argue that any plan must include protections for Dreamers.
The main disputes will be on proposed reductions to legal family-based immigration. Republican are leaning towards halting almost all family sponsorship with the exception of spouses and children of U.S. Citizens and Residents. Democrats are unwilling to eliminate all categories, but perhaps inclined to agree to compromise on terminating sponsorship for siblings and adult married children.

Clarence Venner v. Great Northern Railway Company, No. 485
Writing for the Court Moody
Citation 52 L.Ed. 666,28 S.Ct. 328,209 U.S. 24
Parties CLARENCE H. VENNER, Appt., v. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY and James J. Hill
209 U.S. 24 28 S.Ct. 328 52 L.Ed. 666 CLARENCE H. VENNER, Appt.,
GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY and James J. Hill.
No. 485. Submitted January 20, 1908. Decided February 24, 1908.
Messrs. Abram J. Rose, George H. Yeaman, Alfred C. Pett e, and Stephen M. Yeaman for appellant.
[Argument of Counsel from pages 25-27 intentionally omitted]
Mr. Julius F. Workum for appellees.
Mr. Justice Moody delivered the opinion of the court:
The appellant, a citizen of New York, brought this suit in equity in the supreme court of New York against the defendant railroad, a citizen of Minnesota, and the other defendant, its president, also a citizen of Minnesota. The complaint set forth in substance the following facts upon which the right to relief was claimed: The plaintiff was a stockholder in the defendant railroad at the time of the beginning of the
suit in 1906. Whether or not he was a stockholder at the time when the alleged wrongful acts were committed by the defendants does not appear by any allegation in the complaint. The defendant James J. Hill was a director and the president of the other defendant, the Great Northern Railway Company, and that railroad and its board of directors were under his absolute control. While holding these offices and exercising this control, in 1900 and 1901, Hill purchased, or caused to be purchased for his use, stock of the Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy Railroad Company of the par value of $25,000,000, at an average price of $150 a share. This purchase was made with the design of selling the stock at a higher price to the company of which he was a director and president. Subsequently, in 1901, while still holding his offices in the Great Northern Railway and exercising the same control over that corporation, he sold to it a large amount of the stock of the Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy Railroad Company owned by him, and made an unlawful profit of $10,000,000 on the transaction. Before bringing this suit the plaintiff demanded of the Great Northern Railway Company that it bring suit against Hill to compel him to account for and pay over to it the wrongful profit which he had obtained. The railroad refused to comply with this demand, and thereupon the plaintiff brought this suit as a stockholder, in his own behalf, and in the behalf and for the benefit of other stockholders similarly situated. The prayer was that Hill should account for his profit and pay it to the Great Northern Railway Company with interest, and for general relief. On the defendants' petition the case was removed to the United States circuit court for the southern district of New York, on the ground of diversity of citizenship of the plaintiff and the defendants. In that court the plaintiff was ordered to 'replead the complaint herein according to the forms and practice prevailing in equity.' This was done on November 9, 1906. The new complaint set forth the facts in greater detail and with some variations, but its substance and effect was
similar to that of the first complaint. The complaint did not conform to the requirements of the 94th equity rule, relating to suits of this nature, in that it failed to allege that the plaintiff was a shareholder at the time of the transactions of which he complains, or that his shares had devolved on him since by operation of law, or that the suit was not collusive, or the particulars of his efforts to procure action by the corporation defendant. The defendants then demurred separately to the bill, and the defendant Hill subjoined to his demurrer an affidavit denying every allegation in it tending to show wrongful conduct on his part. Thereafter the plaintiff moved to remand the cause to the state court on the ground that the circuit court was without jurisdiction over it. This motion was denied. The demurrer was sustained and the bill dismissed. The correctness of the ruling on the demurrer and the dismissal is not before us. The case comes here on direct appeal from the circuit court on the question of jurisdiction alone, certified in the following terms: 'Now, therefore, the court hereby certifies to the Supreme Court of the United States the question of jurisdiction which has arisen upon the aforesaid motion to remand and the demurrers to the complaint, to wit: Whether or not the complainant's amended bill of complaint showed that there was such diversity of citizenship between the party complainant and the parties defendants in this cause as would be sufficient, under the provisions of the United States Revised Statutes, to confer jurisdiction upon the United States circuit court for the southern district of New York of this cause, and whether this cause, as brought in the supreme court of the state of New York, was one over which this court would have had original jurisdiction, and was therefore removable into this court.'
We consider nothing but the question of jurisdiction, and express no opinion upon the decision upon the demurrer, which is not properly here. Schunk v. Moline, M. & S. Co. 147 U. S. 500, 37 L. ed. 255, 13 Sup. Ct. Rep. 416; Smith v. Mckay, 161 U. S. 355, 40 L. ed. 731, 16 Sup. Ct. Rep. 490; Mexican C. R. Co. v. Eckman, 187 U. S. 429, 47 L. ed. 245, 23 Sup. Ct.

The cause was removable to the circuit court by the defendants if it was one of which that court was given jurisdiction. 25 Stat. at L. 434, chap. 866, U. S. Comp. Stat. 1901, p. 508; Mexican Nat. R.

The only ground of original jurisdiction or of removal was that the suit was a controversy between citizens of different states. In that case Congress has given the circuit court jurisdiction over it, with certain limitations not material here. 25 Stat. at L. 434, chap. 866, U. S. Comp. Stat. 1901, p. 508.

The Used Pickup Truck With the Worst Resale Value
by Matthew Skwarczek on November 21, 2019
Value is important when buying a new pickup truck, but it's also important when selling a used one. Whether you're trading in at a dealer or selling on Craigslist, you want to get your money's worth. Sometimes, used trucks can hold their value astonishingly well—even selling for more than new ones. But depreciation usually hits new trucks hard. And according to a recent iSeeCars survey, there's one in particular with the worst resale value of them all.
Ford F-150: the used truck with the worst resale value
2019 Ford F-150 | Ford
Despite the Ford F-150's best-selling title, it actually has the worst truck resale value. iSeeCars reports an average 5-year depreciation of 46.5%. However, as Autoblog notes, that's actually partly due to the F-150's sales.
Basically, there are so many used F-150s available, the used market's a little flooded. Autoblog also notes that for 2015—the best used F-150 model year—the F-Series' platform switched from steel to aluminum. In the process, the truck became lighter and more fuel-efficient, which explains its popularity.
Although the F-150 depreciates the most of any truck, it actually depreciates less than the average vehicle. According to iSeeCars, across all segments, the average vehicle depreciates by 49.6%.
Toyota Tacoma: the used truck with the best resale value
2019 Toyota Tacoma Off-Road | Toyota
As we've noted, used Toyota Tacomas can sometimes sell for more than new. The Tacoma isn't only a popular truck, it also retains its value very well. iSeeCars reports a 5-year average depreciation of 32%. In fact, Autoblog notes that only the Jeep Wrangler holds its value better.

A post shared by toyotausa (@toyotausa) on Nov 10, 2019 at 4:03pm PST
A Toyota Tacoma in that age-range would also make an excellent used truck. It avoids the notably poor 2007 model year. The 2015 model year is particularly reliable, although the 2016 and 2017 model years have had some issues.
Used pickup values overall
Interestingly, used pickup trucks actually hold their resale values fairly well. iSeeCars reports that, on average, used trucks depreciated 42.7% over a 5-year period. That's less than the industry average of 49.6%. iSeeCars reports that this is likely due to pickup trucks' durability and their popularity. Although, as in the case of the F-150, popularity and sales figures are not necessarily the same.
2019 Ram 1500 Limited | Ram
We've previously noted that new Ram 1500s tend to depreciate fairly rapidly. However, this appears to be only in the short term. Over a 5-year period, the Ram 1500 actually retains more of its value than the Ford F-150. The Ram depreciates 45.2% over 5 years—more than the average truck, but less than the industry average.
2020 Chevrolet Silverado Diesel | Chevrolet
The only domestic-brand truck that depreciates less than the national truck average is the Chevrolet Silverado. It depreciates 42% on average over 5 years. The Silverado actually holds its value slightly better than its GMC platform-sibling. The GMC Sierra depreciates slightly more than the average pickup, at 43% over 5 years. It's possible that, as GMC is seen as a luxury brand, that some Sierra owners see their trucks as outdated, and so trade them in sooner.

Als Böschungswinkel oder Überhang(s)winkel bezeichnet man bei Fahrzeugen (insbesondere Gelände- und Nutzfahrzeugen) die maximale Steigung in Grad, die aus der Ebene angefahren werden kann, ohne dass überhängende Karosserieteile oder Anbauten den Grund berühren.

Nach DIN 70020 ermittelt man den Überhangswinkel, indem man an den statischen Halbmesser des Rades eine Tangente anlegt, die gleichzeitig den tiefsten Punkt des Front- bzw. Hecküberhangs berührt. Der statische Halbmesser ist dabei der Radius des belasteten Rades im Stand, gemessen von der Nabenmitte bis zur Aufstandsfläche.

Es wird zwischen dem vorderen und hinteren Böschungswinkel unterschieden. Voraussetzung für einen großen Böschungswinkel sind möglichst hoch liegende und kurze Karosserieüberhänge ohne nach unten oder vorne bzw. hinten ragende Anbauten wie Seilwinden, Stoßfänger oder Anhängerkupplungen.

Zu beachten ist, dass zum Erklimmen der angegebenen Steigung das Fahrzeug auch eine entsprechende Steigfähigkeit aufweisen muss.

Q: Entity Framework, Seeding on Foreign Keys My question is, can you easily seed a third tier of data using entity framework. I know two tiers of foreign key work as I use them all the time, though will three?
My data structure is the following.
Top Level Table
Table One - Company (One to many of Areas)
 - "list" Areas
Table Two - Areas (One to many Items)
 - "list" Items
Table Three - Items (Many to One)
 - ItemID
Currently the syntax for two levels (Between Company and Areas) works fine:
var NewCompany = new Company() {

      Areas = new List<Area>(){

        Areaid = 0

   }
}
            _context.Company.Add(NewCompany);
            _context.Areas.AddRange(NewCompany.Areas);

The question is how to achieve the following, adding the third table as a list to Areas.
    var NewCompany = new Company() {

      Areas = new List<Area>(){

        Items = new List<Items>(){
         itemId= 1
       }

   }
}
            _context.Company.Add(NewCompany);
            _context.Areas.AddRange(NewCompany.Areas);
            _context.Areas.AddRange(NewCompany.Areas.Items);

A: Ideally if you specified the constraint well in database and configured the model correctly then you would not require to add the related entities (Area & Items) to the relavant entity collection.
var NewCompany = new Company() {
      Areas = new List<Area>(){
        Areaid = 0
        Items = new List<Item>(){
           new Item(1),
           new Item(2)
           ...
           ...
        }
   }
}

//just add newCompany instance to the entity collection rest should be automatically taken care.
_context.Company.Add(NewCompany);
//no need to write below statement.
//_context.Areas.AddRange(NewCompany.Areas);

Weird series 'Calls' brings terrifying phone convos to Apple TV+
Weird series Calls brings terrifying phone convos to Apple TV+
By Lewis Wallace • 10:58 am, March 3, 2021
New audio-intensive Apple TV+ show Calls leaves a lot to the imagination.
Image: Apple TV+
Calls, the new thriller coming to Apple TV+, will depend on ears instead of eyes to get hearts pounding.
The oddball series "masterfully uses only audio and minimal abstract visuals to tell bone-chilling snackable stories," Apple said in a description of the Calls trailer posted Wednesday.
Still, Calls will pack plenty of star power. However, the series' 12-minute episodes will depend on the voices of people like Nick Jonas and Lily Collins rather than their familiar faces.
The show, adapted from a critically successful French television series of the same name, sounds thematically closer to a classic radio drama than a modern TV show. The intent seems to be to re-create the intense "theater of the mind" evoked by audio broadcasts.
In the Calls trailer, which you can see (and, more importantly, hear) below, speech and audio effects loom large. You hear plenty of static, feedback and tense music as the show's doom-tinged calls transpire.
Luckily, transcriptions appear on-screen to make sure you understand who's saying what. Meanwhile, the spare visuals look like a cross between vintage arcade game Qix and a bunch of fetal sonograms.
See for yourself:
A horror show about phone calls
Apple describes Calls as "a show unlike any you've seen or heard before." Judging from the first trailer, that seems pretty apt (unless you saw the French version).
Here's more from the Apple TV+ description of Calls, as seen on its YouTube channel:
Based on the buzzy French series of the same name, Calls is a groundbreaking immersive television experience that masterfully uses only audio and minimal abstract visuals to tell bone-chilling snackable stories. Launching in a binge model worldwide, all nine 12-minute episodes are told through a series of phone calls that use sharp writing, compelling voice talent and graphics to aid in transcribing the darkly dramatic conversations onto the screen. These relatable scenarios transport the audience into familiar situations that quickly become surreal with thrilling and frightening moments. Featuring Lily Collins, Rosario Dawson, Mark Duplass & more, Calls proves that the real terror lies in one's interpretation of what they cannot see on the screen and the unsettling places one's imagination can take them.
Calls comes to Apple TV+
Cupertino signed a deal for Calls back in 2018. At the time, French filmmaker Timothée Hochet — who created the original series as well as the Apple TV+ adaptation — explained his unusual approach to making a creepy show with minimal visuals.
"I wanted to show that, particularly in the horror or thriller genre, that it's possible to do something interesting and stressful without any pictures or visuals," Hochet said. "I think it's better to hide what's frightening … in horror."
Calls is a co-production of Apple TV+ and French network Canal+. The show lands on the Apple TV+ subscription service on March 19. It will join such heart-pounding fare as M. Night Shyamalan's creepy Servant and tense spy thriller Tehran.
Calls is not yet rated.

British Signal Language (BSL) could be the name with the sign language which can be used in britain. It could be the first language of approximately 150, 000 Deaf people inside the British Isles. Thousands more that are not Deaf (for instance employers regarding Deaf folks, relatives/friends and also interpreters) utilize BSL.
British Signal Language can be a visual-gestural language with out a conventional composed form. It's got its very own grammar using facial expression (non-manual characteristics), handshapes and chest muscles movements to mention meaning. Additionally it is a spatial and also visual terminology. Many beginners believe that it is similar to be able to mime (which it isn't). The biggest thing to bear in mind is the grammar found in BSL is very different compared to that used inside English.
Sign language may differ from region to region, even those types of whose initial language will be English. As an example, British Signal Language differs from the others to U . s . Sign Terminology (ASL), Irish Signal Language (ISL) and also Northern Eire Sign Terminology (NISL). British Signal Language even offers regional dialects. As an example, some signs found in the northern elements of England could be different to be able to those found in the south with the country. Inside of some locations, you may also find 'local signs' which can be classed since slang. And just like neighborhood slang in different town or perhaps city, new terms and words can be found in and away from fashion or perhaps evolve as time passes.
British Signal Language people successfully campaigned regarding BSL being recognised as a possible official English Language. It is currently recognised just like the other dialects of great britain such since Scottish, Welsh and also Gaelic.
Finger spelling can be a manual program code for which represents the letters with the English alphabet which is not any signed terminology. Finger spelling is normally mixed inside with signing which is especially useful for spelling nouns (spot names, peoples' names, brands of each day objects, and so forth. )#) and also for punctuation words who have no primary signed comparable.
British Signal Language works on the two-handed handbook alphabet method whereas some other countries just like the USA works on the one given system.
The particular speed and also clarity regarding finger punctuation also may differ between diverse signing residential areas. Generally, older Deaf people utilize more little finger spelling as compared to younger Deaf people which can be often linked to their instructional upbringing.
Any time someone fluent inside sign terminology reads little finger spelling, they will not usually go through the signer's hand(azines), but sustain eye make contact with and go through the face with the signer.
Those people who are learning little finger spelling often believe it is impossible to know using merely their peripheral perspective and find yourself looking on the person's hand as opposed to their confront. Look directly on the person's confront and lips pattern and you may gradually believe it is easier to know.
Normally one of many first instruction students learn is always to finger cause the signal language alphabet.
Sign dialects exploit the unique features with the visual method. Oral terminology is linear. Only a single sound may be made or perhaps received at the same time. Sign terminology is graphic; hence a complete scene may be taken in simultaneously. Information may be loaded directly into several programs and portrayed simultaneously.
As an example, in English in ways "I owned here". To incorporate information in regards to the drive, you'd must make the particular phrase more time ("I owned here alongside a rotating road") and even add an additional ("I owned here. It absolutely was a great drive. inches) Inside British Signal Language, nonetheless, you can easily convey information regarding the model of the path or the particular pleasing nature with the drive simply by inflecting the particular motion with the hand, or by using non-manual signals for instance body healthy posture and cosmetic expression, concurrently as an individual sign the particular verb 'drive'. As a result, while inside English the particular phrase "I owned here plus it was extremely pleasant" will be longer as compared to "I owned here", in English Sign Language the 2 will be the same size.
Placement is employed in terms of the inserting or setting up of indications in area. The signer discovers or areas particular referents inside signing area in several types of relationship with all the signer sufficient reason for the some other referents. Once any signer has create the 'placement' of your particular signal – 'the house is finished there' simply by signing the phrase 'house' and also 'putting it in the space facing you' ('placing it') then a signer are able to use his vision gaze and also directional verbs to reference this distinct sign.
Will not worry when this looks complicated! It's going to become a whole lot clearer when you start to master British Signal Language and also put everything you see and also learn directly into practise.
Non-manual characteristics are actions created by any area of the body apart from the palms. They contain actions with the eyes, oral cavity, cheeks, confront, head, neck and upper body. They have several types of function inside structure with the language and so are an very important aspect regarding BSL.
You'll find so many handshapes which can be individually listed in BSL. Sets of handshapes are called 'classifiers' which usually incorporate specific details of the referent from the handshape alone.
• Handling/grasping: You need to use different handshapes in which show the method that you physically keep or utilize something. As an example, sewing using a needle, or perhaps doing the particular ironing. They're described since 'iconic signs' while they often 'look' the method that you actually execute something.
• Smooth surfaces: You'll have a diverse handshape that may indicate when something features a flat surface for instance 'floor', 'door' or perhaps 'wall'.
• Folks and autos: This band of classifiers features a function that resembles the usage of pronouns inside English. As an example, different handshapes can easily indicate in case you are looking upwards at one thing, if one individual is involved in an action or many individuals. There may also be various handshapes in which indicate in case you are talking of a vehicle or perhaps other function of carry.
All dialects use different varieties of sentence construction, but typically one type is employed most usually. In Language, this could be the SVO word (subject-verb-object). Inside the sentence 'Sophie acquired a car' as an example, 'Sophie' could be the subject, 'bought' could be the verb, and 'car' could be the object.
A different type of sentence structure is named 'Topic Opinion Structure'. This sort of structure just isn't commonly found in English. It really is used frequently in BSL that folks tend to spell it out BSL being a Topic Opinion Structure. The signer provides topic first which is then capable of focus and present more detail around the comment in which follows.

Post-CentOS, Rocky Linux Fights for Community-Driven Enterprise Open Source
Linux / Open Source
26 Jan 2021 2:16pm, by Joab Jackson
When Red Hat abruptly terminated support for the CentOS Linux distribution earlier this month, a large swath of users around the world were suddenly left without an option for enterprise-grade Linux. Now, the original creator of CentOS, Gregory Kurtzer, has kicked off a new distribution, Rocky Linux, to take up where CentOS left out, and even introduce a few of the painful lessons that Kurtzer has learned with his time on CentOS.
Rocky Linux will represent how "an open source project should be run, how it should be maintained, and how we can take precautions to make sure to make it is not only inclusively managed and stable, but also has the appropriate community promises necessary to ensure that things like what happened with CentOS won't happen again," Kurtzer said in a fascinating interview on the Changelog podcast.
CentOS began as an offshoot of a project started the early 2000s to create a community-based RPM Linux distro called CAOS Linux. At the time the project's build system was built on Red Hat Linux, the precursor to today's Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat shut down that massively popular distribution in 2003, leaving the Chaos Linux folks without a build system. One of the volunteers for the project, Rocky McGaugh, volunteered to build a new distribution based on RHEL. They named it CentOS, for "Community Oriented Enterprise Operating System," and it immediately took off, dwarfing the Chaos Linux project in usership. (Rocky Linux takes its name from McGaugh, who has since passed on.)
"It was remarkable to watch this blow up, get so much visibility, and then to see how well it situated itself in the enterprise ecosystem and cloud ecosystem later," Kurtzer said of CentOS.
Kurtzer left the project several years later, after being threatened with a trademark-infringement lawsuit by Red Hat. But today, CentOS is the third most widely used distribution on the Internet, powering 17.3% of all servers, according to W3Techs. It follows only Ubuntu (47.6%) and Debian (18.8%), and is far, far more pervasive than even RHEL itself, powering only 1.7% of all the sites.
Many have assumed that the reason Red Hat pulled CentOS was that it was competing too heavily on RHEL itself. Kurtzer does not harbor any ill feelings toward Red Hat, which has contributed immensely to the open source ecosystem. As a business, the company needs to make the right fiscal decisions, and, from this vantage, it couldn't have its flagship RHEL service usurped by the free product, which has been maintained largely in-house by Red Hat engineers since the company assumed control of CentOS in 2014 (largely by taking over its board of directors, the way Kurtzer described it).
Still, in a sense, Red Hat has betrayed the roots of the "community enterprise" aspect of CentOS, Kurtzer argued. Its replacement, CentOS Streams, is based on what is still largely a future model of computing where the OS gets continually updated. Only a smaller portion of enterprises today are using this model, he said, noting that this approach is problematic for enterprises that need to verify and assess new software entering their systems.
Red Hat has also promised a replacement for CentOS in two free versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for small production workloads and customer development teams. But these needs may not address the bulk of the usership that require a low-cost stable Linux distribution. Supercomputing labs and cash-strapped start-ups that need scalable infrastructure, for instance.
Upon hearing about CentOS' pending demise late last year, Kurtzer first floated the idea of coming up with a replacement for his own clients using CentOS (he now runs high-performance computing startup Ctrl IQ).
The response was overwhelming. His Slack channels for the project quickly became overrun with messages, many from people looking to contribute. Now hundreds of people are working on Rocky Linux. A number of Special Interest Groups have already formed around particular use cases for the distro, including for laptop/desktop versions and for a minimal install variant for HPC workloads.
Rocky Linux is set to release by middle of this year, and promises to be "100% bug-for-bug compatible with Enterprise Linux." The idea will be that a single command can migrate a CentOS instantiation to a Rocky Linux one, with all the underlying libraries and utilities remaining in tact. A dedicated team can ensure that work going forward will specifically benefit the enterprise-needs of users, such as achieving Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliance, which requires, among other things, a secure build system.
Ideally, Rocky will maintain a community focus and be led by a small core team. It is similar to the approach that CentOS took, but Kurtzer has learned much more about how to manage/support community-driven software projects. Also helping is that the tools around the build process have grown considerably more sophisticated and automated, compared to the early days of CentOS.
"Because there's so many people, we're having a great time. It feels like an underground movement, kind of just rising up right now," Kurtzer said. "Everything is taking shape and people that want to become involved and want to do something like this are getting the opportunity to do something that's really a differentiator."

Please welcome our first featured artist on the blog Jonathan Chao from Oakland, California.
Jon works at Ape Do Good Printing, an artist run commercial silkscreen printing shop in the Mission district of San Francisco, while also independently producing his own beautiful silkscreen zines and projects. Curious to get to know more about his process, motivation and upcoming projects we asked Jon to tell us a bit more about himself.
&PP: To start, can you tell us about how you began making zines and doing what you do?
JC: I am a printmaker that makes art zines/books. The zines, notably Warm Up, are experiments with the screen printing medium and the book format. My recent focus has been leaning towards abstraction with a focus on pattern work. I recently started screen printing and making art zines towards the end of 2012, but before that I was attending UC Santa Barbara for art. At Santa Barbara I was formally trained, but it wasn't till the end of the school that I decided to pursue self-publication and focus more on printmaking. I recently picked up screen printing so I still feel pretty fresh to the medium, but at moment I have been thinking about creating film positives with analog means. As for art zines/books I am digging into the community and finding something I really enjoy; there's so much there that it's exciting to follow.
I spend a lot of time around screen printing so thinking about it in relation to my art is inevitable.
I try to take notice of colors that catch my attention when I'm around the shop. This helps me produce some interesting color schemes.
Here are some of my favorite zines and books in my collection. My most recent favorite find was Lite Murk by Cody Hoyt, printed by Visual Field Press. That Letman: The Art and Lettering of Job Wouters and Fraktur Mon Amour are also such awesome books.
&PP: We love your latest publication Warm Up, it's beautiful. Care to walk us through your inspiration and process?
JC: The origin of Warm Up was a result of making mock ups for an 8 fold zine. It was with an old page covered with practice marks and strokes. I noticed how nice certain areas looked when focused from the full page. That event lead to the inspiration for the Warm Up series.
As for the process of composing the image, I created each layer as I went along and the process came organically. I experimented with making film positives through analog means and observed how certain materials and marks reacted when burned on the screen. I was curious about the results.
When preparing for Warm No. 1, I worked things out in my head and made preliminary thumbnail sketches. I hoped for the best when I printed, but left myself open to uncertain results and reactions. It was a real surprise with every layer, because I was loose with registering the different layers. Even more surprised was when I finished folding the finished print into an 8 fold zine. I thought it was interesting that I was working from a large image that would later on be turned into a series of smaller images. It was kind of a backwards way of working. I recently realized, as the maker of Warm Up, I was working to find out what the larger image will turn into as it is folded. Whereas, the viewer is working his or her way from the small folded image into the large unfolded full image. I like that.
&PP: What are you working on right now or have coming up in the future that you are looking forward to?
JC: In the near future you can expect two more different Warm Up editions. They will both be within a similar style of Warm Up No. 1, but focusing on different techniques in making screen positives. Then after the editions, I'll dig through my sketchbook for the next project, which will most likely be some kind of print. My mind set has been geared towards screen printing since I'm around it so often. I'm excited to see what happens later.
&PP: Thanks for your time Jon, we look forward to seeing your new projects!
It's Friday! This week's Friday Favorite post is on an exhibition catalog by the incredible London- based Argentinian artist, Amalia Pica. We've been fans of Pica's work for awhile so when we heard about this publication coming out we couldn't wait to get our hands on it.
The book began with her first major solo museum show, Amalia Pica at the MCA, where approximately fifteen of her most significant works from the last seven years, in addition to new commissions, were exhibited in the United States for the first time.
Incorporating simple everyday objects and celebratory signifiers of celebration such as fiesta lights, flags and banners, confetti, rainbows, photocopies, lightbulbs, drinking glasses, beer bottles and cardboard Pica's work is optimistic, colorful, poetic and beautiful.
Pica's work is directly dealing with that the translation of symbolic language and motivated by how meaning is created and deciphered between the artist and the viewer.
With a similar creative energy curators João Ribas of MIT List Visual Arts Center, and Julie Rodrigues Widholm of the MCA came together to spearhead the publication with the goal of giving an in-depth look at the last ten years of Pica's work. During this time Pica worked in close collaborative dialogue for the design and editorial process. The result is a strong visual and text based overview of her drawings, sculptures, large-scale photographic prints, slide projections, live performances and installations.
With 112 colorful pages, foldout sections, radius-cut board cover with foil-blocked buckram spine and a yellow transparent PVC dust jacket the publication exudes a high level of visual, conceptual and textural stimulation. The design feels synonymous with Pica's work, and makes for an enjoyable way to experience Pica's work. Even the transparent greenish-yellow PVC dust jacket mimics Pica's use of coloured gels within her work.
All in all this is a fun, interesting publication, and a perfect overview for those interested in learning more about Pica's work. Highly recommended.

Josef Albers, the German-born artist and educator who taught at the Bauhaus, Black Mountain College and Yale University created Interaction of Color as a handbook and teaching aid for artists, instructors, and students.
For those who have experience with this book (by teaching from or learning from it) knows it is a timeless and mesmerizing resource for anyone interested in color theory and human perception.
Originally published by Yale University Press in 1963 as a limited silkscreen edition with 150 color plates, Interaction of Color first appeared in paperback in 1971, featuring ten color studies chosen by Albers, and has remained in print ever since.
With over a quarter of a million copies sold in its various editions since 1963, Interaction of Color has become a watershed on complex color theory principles and is as pioneering today as when Albers first created it.
Fifty years after Interaction of Colors's initial publication, this new edition presents an expanded selection of close to sixty color studies alongside Albers's original text, demonstrating such principles as color relativity, intensity, and temperature; vibrating and vanishing boundaries; and the illusion of transparency and reversed grounds.
To further celebrate the book's 50th anniversary Yale University Press also released a new way to engage with Albers's lessons by releasing the "Interaction of Color" App for the iPad.
The ($9.99) app combines the book's text and color studies, video commentary, interviews and over 60 new interactive plates that enables users to try their own color experiments with color.
While we strongly believe there is something essential to holding publications in your hand, feeling the stock and tooth of paper and seeing colors in changing light, this app is an exciting way for Alber's teachings to reach new audiences in studios and classrooms and that we are unquestionably in favor for that.
Purchase Interaction of Color by Josef Albers here.

Tuesday in the bookshop brings us Pøems by Nick DeMarco, published in 2012 by Peradam.
This 20 page handheld book features a series of visual poems composed by using typography and glyphs.
Some poetry communicates through flowery vocabulary but DeMarco reminds us that communicating viscerally in a more abstract and formal language can elicit interesting responses as well.
This past Friday we got a chance to see the newly completed Maya Hayuk murals at the Hammer Museum. They are beautiful and should definitely be experienced in person.
This smaller mural at the top of the stairs might have been my favorite.
Going hand in hand with Hayuk's work was Generationalpictomusicapolis, a night of psychedelic sounds, organized by curator Darren Klein, featuring No Age, Sun Foot and Devin Gary & Ross.
Coincidentally it was the first night of No Age's tour which lead to much excitement. Good times all around that evening.
Have you seen the amazing video for Sonny & the Sunsets's Green Blood? It's animated by Oakland based artist Teppei Ando and we love it!
Happy Monday all! To start off the week I thought I would share a new gem in the & Pens Press library, Mazdaznan Health & Breath Culture, the First Six Exercises.
This soft bound, saddle stitched zine, explores the relationship between Mazdaznan, Johannes Itten and the Foundation Courses he taught at the Bauhaus.
If you are not familiar with Mazdaznan studies it was a religion founded by the Dr. Otoman Zar-Adusht Ha'nish in Chicago at the start of the twentieth century. A couple interesting facts that we learned about Dr. Ha'nish was that it is rumored that Edison named the first lightbulb Mazda in his honor and that Henry Ford attributed the dawn of the motor-age to Ha'nish's influence. The Swiss artist and teacher Johannes Itten was also a devout Mazdaznan and its exercises were an essential part of his courses at the Bauhaus.
To give you a general overview Health & Breath Culture is a practical guide to performing the exercises taught by Itten at the Bauhaus. Throughout the zine you are lead through six exercises in thought, posture and breathing to help improve different senses.
Following the first section of the book is a selection of found texts and images on the belief and history of Mazdaznan, which is pretty interesting.
Available (even for skeptics) in the bookstore, here.
Illustrated by Ian Whittlesea with drawings of current Foundation students demonstrating the exercises, followed by a selection of found texts and images on the beliefs and history of Mazdaznan.


Manthakkali vathal kuzhambu is a tangy and spicy tamarind based gravy prepared with dried blacknight shade berries. No onion no garlic step by step pictures recipe.
I took these manathakkali vathal from my mami during my last trip to India. I have made vathal kuzhambu couple of times and it's about to finish as I took very very less. So I thought before running out of vathal, I should post this recipe in my blog. Not a big fan of vathal in kuzhambu, I better like to have it fried and had as curd rice side dish. Yet wanted to make this time because felt like having after a bad viral infection 裸.
We always make kuzhambu with small onion and garlic, but making without both was really so easy and was done in a jiffy. Even for the kootu I did not add onion today. So the whole cooking work was done so easily I felt.
If using tamarind, soak in hot water for 20 mins, extract tamarind juice and adjust the total quantity of water to measure 3& 1/2 cups.
Heat a kadai with oil. Splutter mustard, add urad dal, toor dal, cumins seeds, curry leaves and asafoetida. Roast until dals turn golden.
Add manathakkali vathal and roast for a minute.
Transfer the content to a heavy bottomed vessel. Add sambar powder, turmeric, red chilli powder, salt and mix well with tamarind extract.
Boil for 15 mins. Towards end, dissolve rice flour in a tbsp of water and mix.
Add jaggery, mix well and switch off the flame.
If you do not have sambar powder, you can add red chilli powder and coriander powder as replacement.
Adding jaggery enhances the taste. But do not add more.
Using sambar powder is best for balanced taste as well as thickens easily.
If using tamarind, soak in hot water for 20 mins, extract tamarind juice and adjust the total quantity of water to measure 3 & 1/2 cups.
Add manathakkali vathal and roast for a minute. Transfer the content to a heavy bottomed vessel. Add sambar powder, turmeric, red chilli powder, salt.
Since I used tamarind paste, I added water, boil well with tamarind extract.

CoEd was founded by lead singer Matt Berninger's cousins Joe and Jeff Berninger. "Almost twenty years ago my cousins Joe and Jeff Berninger quit their corporate jobs and started this non-profit. CoEd has already reached more than 150,000 kids with textbooks and computers, and now they're taking on girls' education. I'm excited to join the effort to keep 1,000 girls from dropping out of school, which is so common in Guatemala," stated Berninger. "I'm really proud to be a part of this amazing organization." The Thousand Girls Initiative hopes to reach 1,000 girls by the year 2020.
This is an amazing opportunity to see your favorite band in probably the most intimate setting you could ever hope for these days while also helping out a great cause. For more information, please visit the official website of Cooperative for Education.

Eaux Claires 2015: A moving and transcendental weekend adventure


In the above scripture, the apostle John states that three worldly attitudes operate in opposition to holiness: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. However, it is not merely followers of Christ that must resist these attitudes. The first woman, Eve, also encountered them in the Garden of Eden.
This pattern of succumbing to worldly lusts is both inherent in man's sin nature and is aggravated mercilessly by Satan. Our enemy knows and exploits our weaknesses. O, that we would know them and shield them!

Industry Voices: Q&A with Ed Pizey, Data Partner at Wavemaker
In this exclusive Industry Voices interview, IAS spoke to Ed Pizey, Data Partner at Wavemaker, who shared his experience and gave insights into how the agency is transitioning away from cookies by June 2021.
Data privacy legislation is rapidly changing the way that advertisers are able to reach their audiences. With third-party cookies going away, how can advertisers and publishers trade in a completely compliant fashion today that is also scalable?
Firstly, the majority of publishers and advertisers have always and will continue to trade in a compliant fashion regardless of data type. However as 1st party data (1PD) is increasingly seen as a vital ingredient in replacing 3rd party cookies, compliance or in particular consent is now, rightly, a critical element of the digital marketing ecosystem. This obviously will bring its own challenges that advertisers and publishers will need to work through. Publishers are working extremely hard on building their own 1P data sets and have highly valued content to create smart value exchanges – while we're seeing various states of 1PD volume and quality. This means that trading scalability is still an unknown which will in turn become a major focus as move into H2.
How the cookie-less world affects performance metrics and how best to inform clients of this change to their campaign results.
Early and honest communication is required about reporting – it's still the biggest unknown. At Wavemaker we're already in many client conversations on the subject of 3P cookie-less measurement & reporting. Our 3PC blueprint enables our teams to identify areas most affected by the changes as well as providing a roadmap to test new analytical techniques or technology that mitigates known risks. Clients have been extremely receptive to our approach and appreciate our pragmatism. We know that the level of granularity will be impacted so advertisers are exploring with our support some of traditional methodologies which have previously fallen out of favour due to the vast amount of accessible data in the digital marketing.
Google announced that it will not replace third-party cookies with alternative user-level identifiers for open web. How do you think this will impact targeted advertising practices?
Effective and efficient campaigns are the life blood of media agencies enabling clients to benefit from our expertise. Our expectation is future targeting strategies will be a combination of different techniques. Therefore, for the past 12 months, Wavemaker (alongside our sister agencies Mindshare & Mediacom as well as GroupM UK), have been running a RFI & testing programme across multiple technology partners. The programme is helping teams understand how these adtech solutions are evolving so that we can provide campaign management continuity across a number of areas, such as sequential messaging and frequency capping.
In reality, the announcement from Google wasn't a surprise to us although it may hamper the roll out of alternative ID solutions from Liveramp, The Tradedesk and other players. We'll be keeping a close eye out to see the uptake from publishers in the UK, and results from preliminary testing in the US.
What would you say has improved about contextual targeting since the early days of the internet?
Contextual advertising or even just digital advertising is radically different to the early days of the web. I was fortunate enough to be a media buyer in those days and still remember gaining digital advertising space on Ziff Davis & VNU websites for free when buying space in their print titles. This was probably the first form of digital proximity advertising. However, the technology that's now available offers advertisers a plethora of precision based contextual advertising opportunities. Every aspect of contextual advertising has improved, however semantic contextual targeting is extremely interesting & I suspect can only grow smarter as the algorithms continue to learn.
Where do you see contextual going? Is it about highly scalable solutions?
Another interesting area of contextual is the ability to influence or create dynamic advertising such as the Google Nest campaign by WPP's Essence. Project Pegasus is a fantastic example of contextual advertising and creative working is synergy to maximise relevance for the reader. The other incredibly smart aspect of this solution is that it didn't use any personal data. This harmony between creative, advertiser and audience is what we strive for as marketeers and Wavemaker are working on a number of similar solutions that are scalable.
How can advertisers leverage contextual tactics to best reach their appropriate audiences?
The core of contextual is about understanding the audience alongside the environment where the creative will appear. Therefore, it is important for agency planners to deepen their knowledge of the advertiser's audiences especially their behavioural and preference nuances. The audience remains at the heart of the campaign & subsequent strategy.
What excites you about the future of targeting in digital?
I think the continued evolution of the whole ecosystem is exciting, as a result of compliance & regulation changes, we have seen new technology solutions come to market, offering privacy safe methods to share data which is enabling companies to extract new insights from existing data sets. The changes happening at Google are also fascinating, as the birth of FLoCs requires the whole industry to recalibrate their understanding of audience, segments, and cohorts. The joy of working in this industry is that no day is ever boring.

Spotlight on Tariffs in the Middle Market
One third of middle market executives say profits will suffer due to tariffs, and more than half will raise prices.
Go Back to Full MMI
WHEN WILL TARIFFS BITE–AND HOW HARD?
Three months ago, the Middle Market Indicator documented a leap in concerns about the costs of trade—tariffs in particular—from data collected just after the U.S. taxed steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico, and the EU. An escalating series of levies and counter-levies followed between June and early September, when we collected 3Q data. Since the survey date, the United States, Canada, and Mexico have shaken hands on a revised free-trade agreement, while the U.S. and China have shaken fists with tariff hikes on $260 billion worth of goods.
It takes about six months for tariffs to work their way from sales to shipments to shelves, according to Grant Thornton chief economist Diane Swonk, so their full effects won't be clear until well into 2019. By a two-to-one margin, middle market executives say tariffs will hurt their business. A third say profits will suffer, and more than half will raise prices. The worst affected companies are in the core middle market, with annual revenues between $50 and $100 million. These are companies big enough to participate in global markets, but in all likelihood not big enough to have overseas operations that might allow them to avoid tariffs by shifting production from one side of a border to another.
