Graphic design is a bachelor's-level entry field. Earning a master's degree can give working graphic designers advanced skills or help individuals transition into graphic design from other fields. However, in many cases, graphic designers advance their careers through hands-on experience, not education. When considering a master's in graphic design, it's important to think about your career goals, educational background, and current experience to determine the best way to move your career forward.
Although employment in areas like computer systems design is growing at a faster-than-average pace, overall job growth in graphic design is expected to be slower than average through 2028. This is partially due to a decline in newspaper, periodical, and book publishing. There will be competition for jobs, which is why earning a degree, building a strong portfolio, and networking through your university will be key to a successful graphic design career.
Creativity is key for graphic designers, but in most cases, you will be designing a product for a client, not for yourself. You must learn how to tailor your artistic vision to the client's needs and preferences, and you will sometimes work with tight parameters and difficult people. As part of your education, you will likely get guidance and experience in this area of professional development.
Here are some questions to ask when researching these programs:
Are there in-person requirements? Even if coursework is delivered online, some programs may require on-campus attendance for orientations, seminars, or thesis activities. Be sure to look at a program's curriculum to find out what, if any, in-person requirements they have, and confirm that they will fit into your schedule and budget.
Does this program require a portfolio? Many graphic design programs, especially those at the graduate level, want to see that candidates have the foundational skills necessary for advanced study. Applicants usually demonstrate this by submitting a portfolio. Find out what the school's admissions portfolio requirements are, and be prepared to submit your work either digitally or in person.
You should also look at the other admissions requirements and application deadlines while researching programs. You can typically find this information on the school's website or by contacting an admissions representative directly.
Financing your graduate degree is another important consideration. At this stage, you should talk to the school about financial aid options like loans, scholarships, and assistantships. If you are currently employed, find out if your employer offers tuition assistance benefits.

Wotofo has not gladdened its fans with updates for a long time. Even though Troll series is still popular among vapers, it has been getting older morally. Thus, the company presented Troll RDA V2 25mm/Troll RDA V2 Mini.
Vaping devices are rapidly growing in size. Currently, 22 millimeter diameter RDA is considered to be compact and the golden standard is 25 mm size. Wotofo decided to present simultaneously two atomizers, complying with both sizes. As for the rest, devices are quite similar.
The company has not recreated the wheel and put Velocity posts. 2.7 millimeters coil holes will allow to put any coil. But RDAs' tanks have a bit different capacity. A compact version contains one order less e-liquid that its elder brother.
25 millimeter version also has more interesting airflow implementation. It is conducted through diagonal and horizontal holes. The mini version is equipped with regular horizontal slots on both sides.
Novelties obtained rather small updates, so they should not create a sensation. Nevertheless, those who want to purchase their first RDA, just have to take a closer look to Troll series.


With companies like Snack nation disrupting the employee wellness market, it is now more widely accepted that taking care of your staff is not just a privilege for the management board.
Our employees, from the CEO to the janitor all deserve to be part of the "company family culture". This does not just mean, that we remind them that they are very much part of the company, but also by proving it with actions.
That is why simple things such as having fresh fruit and good quality coffee can sometimes go a long way in employee satisfaction.
This one may sound a bit unusual and odd, but I thought we might as well start with this one as supplements are something companies do not normally offer, not even supplement or gym companies offer this (As far as I am aware) unless, they are doing it completely unannounced.
Having a pantry full of supplements such as omega 3s, vitamins or even gym pre and post workouts like: Blackwolf workout come in handy as firstly, these are not something companies normally provide, and they cover both men and women, without making it look like it's only for men who want to get all bulky.
Having a well-stock pantry of fruits is paramount, as healthy employees can be 25% more productive according to this study by Zanebenefits.
Not sure what to offer?
Get a survey out and list all fruits out there, get your employees to fill it out and choose the top 3-5 fruits to stock on your pantry.
You do not need to have a fruit fest, but as long as you regularly offer healthy and fresh fruits, that can even go with their pre or post workout shake (see above), then your employees will absolutely adore you and maybe even put your company name on their next instagram post.
I see this all the time, when companies say they stock "Free" coffee and tea. Hold on a minute, but for health conscious people "Free" is not good enough. Having instant Nescafe is not going to get me excited out of bed to come and work while enjoying fresh and crisp coffee. I've worked in many places who offer "free" coffee, and what happens is most employees end up just buying coffee from shops near by.
Get a damn good quality espresso machine, and save your employees their daily $3-4 cup of Joes.
This one can come in handy for making healthy shakes, as your employees will now have protein or post workout supplements, as well as fruits, so having a good quality blender (or two) to help them make these would be essential, and think about it, it's not that expensive, you just have to buy it once!
As your employees decide to cook their own meals and bring them to work, it is important for them to be able to have Himalayan salt or their organic spices that go with their meals.
I know it may be easier to just ask them to bring their own stuff, but who's going to bring their salt, pepper and turmeric bottles with them to work?
And if they do, people would just use them and they'd be gone in no time, so who's responsibility is it to buy them and ensure everyone can use them?
You, the employer! Trust me, it is a small price to pay for the health conscious and happy employees your company will breed!
If you still don't believe healthy employees = happy employees?

INTOLERANCE. That's what every hate group has in common. They each try to control and deny the rights or existence entirely, of the other.
How can we be intolerant of intolerance without being intolerant?
The problem is, there's a lot of people in the world and every year there are more. We can't avoid those outside our tribe easily anymore…not without joining an "off-the-grid" group or moving to a remote locale. Many people are afraid of losing what they have, whether it be land, power, money, resources, or culture. That fear is used by "thought leaders" to control large groups of people while they enact the will of the leader.
Most of the hate groups are fearful and mad about something.They represent the extreme fundamentalists of their group. Don't be prejudiced and assume that someone feels a certain way because they have something in common with a hate group. You don't want someone slapping a label and tons of baggage on you, after all.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and the world will be much more pleasant.
Where are the harbors of hatred and how does it manifest?
People are individuals, not labels, and there is a huge spectrum and combination within each major subcategory.
The Trump Team has taken the US's biggest hate groups off of the terror watch list. We have to watch out for ourselves.
Angry White Men tracks the alt-right.

Yemen in WTO
Bali Present: WTO 9th Ministerial Delivers
December 23, 2013 / Andrea M. Ewart, Esq.	/ 2 Comments
Bali Opens
(www.wto.org)
In our last post, Hopeful Watching: The WTO 9th Ministerial in Bali, we discussed the high hopes with which the Doha Development Round had been launched, its shrinking agenda, and the hope that some consensus would emerge that could lead to a deal focused around the hopes and aspirations of developing countries.
Just in time for the holidays, after round-the-clock discussions that extended into an additional all-nighter of negotiations, the "Bali Package" was delivered. It consists of the following small deals pulled from the broader Doha Agenda:
Agreement on Trade Facilitation that creates new rules to streamline customs and ports procedures around the world;
Small agreements on Agriculture and on Cotton
On Agriculture, the thorny issue of Food Security led to a "peace clause" for four years during which food stockpiling programs by developing countries which meet certain criteria will be shielded from trade challenges, even if they negatively impact other countries' trade, while they negotiate a permanent solution. This outcome, where it's now advanced developing countries, notably India, that are seeking protection for their agriculture subsidies represents a complete turn-around from the original focus of the Doha Round – elimination by developed countries of their programs of subsidies. This issue, perhaps more than any other, indicates the extent to which the Doha agenda has evolved since 2001.
The consensus around Development Issues emerged in the form of Members' commitments to implement four previous decisions:
Decision on duty-free, quota-free (DFQF) access for products of least developed countries;
Decision to simplify preferential rules of origin for least developed countries to make it easier for LDCs to qualify for DFQF entry into the importing countries;
Operationalizing the "services waiver" that will grant least developed countries preferential access to other countries' services markets;
Decision on a "monitoring mechanism" to analyze and review implementation of special and differential treatment rules for developing countries.
New WTO Member
Bali Closes
In other business, thirteen years after submitting its application to join the WTO, Yemen was formally welcomed into its ranks. Once Yemen ratifies the terms of its accession, it will become the WTO's 160th member. It is also the seventh (7th) LDC to join the WTO. Implementation of the Development Decisions (above) will improve the terms on which LDC products access world markets whether or not they join the WTO.
Post-Bali Package?
The Bali Package also includes hopeful language about returning to the other issues on the Doha Agenda. These include market access for manufactured goods, more substantive agreements on agriculture and an agreement on services. However, on services, for example, separate negotiations have already begun to conclude the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA). These talks are being pursued on a plurilateral basis, i.e. a sub-set of WTO members, allowing them to bypass the pesky requirement to achieve consensus among all (now 160) WTO members. It is therefore more realistic to conclude that the Bali Package has already delivered all that can be reaped from the Doha Agenda.

Tiger Mothers and the Ming Dynasty Examination System
on February 14, 2011 in Society
Imperial Exam Halls
In the Ming Dynasty, (1368 – 1644), China established an examination system as a merit-based approach for appointments to government office. There were three levels to the exams, with the final cut then coming through an examination administered by the Emperor himself. The subject matter of the exams was standardized beyond anything we see today. It was based on a limited set of ancient works, stripped of any contemporary additions. The examinations depended exclusively on the memorization of these classics. The exams were administered in a way that assured anonymity. Those reaching the third level wrote in separate cells, the equivalent of modern-day cubicles. After days of writing, they literally threw their papers over a wall, where the writing was copied by a scribe to assure there would be no tell-tale indications of the examinees.
Those seeking elite government office spent years preparing for the exams. Those who failed could reapply as often as they wished. This gave hope that even those of humble birth could rise to the upper class by dint of their will and assiduous efforts. This in turn increased the stability of the Dynasty, because those who might vent their frustration of being outside the system and who had the talent for fomenting a revolution could be channeled into the elite rungs of society instead. And the fact that this path existed made it more difficult to corral others of a similar mindset.
This system was adopted by other Asian countries, notably Japan and Korea, and has continued to the modern era with little change. The path to the top colleges came through similarly standardized tests based on that ability to memorize and learn by rote. These tests were of such critical importance that students followed up their class work with hours of after school studies, and often took an additional year to prepare. Tests governed admission into the elite middle schools, which in turn prepared the student for the next set of tests to get into the elite high schools, which then led to the elite colleges. Unlike the U.S., the pecking order of those colleges is clearly determined, with one school indisputably at the top – Seoul University in Korea, Tokyo University in Japan.
I studied Asian languages in college and spent a few years in Asia, seeing this first hand. Just before I spent time in Korea, the country had eliminated the grueling examination program for entrance into the middle schools, and the result was an almost immediate increase of an inch in the average height of twelve and thirteen year-olds. I knew students who took a year after college, living in squalid conditions while studying non-stop for the kodung koshi, the equivalent of the third-level exam that extended from the Ming. And those who failed could retake the exams, in the same spirit as occurred during the Ming.
I believe this tradition of examination, based on memorization and rote learning, with a fanatical focus to the exclusion of all else, is at the root of the Asian "Tiger Mother" approach to raising children today.
The examination system is less prevalent now in Asia because government service has lost some of its earlier luster as opportunities expanded in the private sector, and it is certainly irrelevant for Asians who now live in U.S., (the preparation for the SAT, substantial as that can be, pales in comparison). But the tradition remains. Perhaps it survives as more than a tradition, because the families of those who harbored the characteristics that allowed them to succeed in these exams would have flourished, so those traits would have survived disproportionately.
The rigor of this examination process, which in the U.S. simply does not require the level of focus and does not fully determine one's future, is being channeled into other areas. One area, prominent in the Tiger Mother book, is music. Several of my children who participated in piano competitions were often the only non-Asians. The results of the Tiger Mother progeny's two plus hours a day of practice, focused a year at a time on the two or three pieces required for most competitions, is spectacular in one respect, and flat in another. Such musical training is more like training for athletics; indeed piano performance in particular can be readily transformed into an athletic event that focuses on small-muscle groups. The performances of the piano athletes are technically spectacular, but as would be expected from something that is developed by rote, they can be lean on musicality. Think gymnastics versus ballet. (I sponsor a piano competition in the memory of one of my children who had an insatiable love of music where a broad repertoire is required, with the hope that this will map to students who have a love of music as an end in itself).
What is the end result of this vestige of the Ming approach to education? Well, we can look back to the end result in the Ming itself. Those who passed the examinations and entered into the elite offices had the classics down cold. But they didn't know much else. How could they, given the efforts and focus required of these examinations? And while I don't have much to go on, my guess would be that they were not exactly off the charts in terms of what we now popularly call emotional IQ. But the history of the period suggests that for all the laudable screening, those who succeeded to office often did not succeed in the office.
My experience is that this process as it has been retained in the modern era leads to similar failings. That should not be surprising, because as with the Ming, there is little time for anything beyond the task. There is an incredible uniformity in the approach to problem solving, and the sorts of problems that can be solved. When I was a professor, I had two Korean students who handed in identical exam papers. They went so far as to work out the problems in the same steps, put a box around each problem, put identical work in the same place in the box. They both even underlined each of the answers twice. It was clear to me that one of them must have copied in distinctively uncreative fashion from the other. When I called them into my office and confronted them with their identical work, they really had no idea why I thought there was a problem. They had not cheated, they had been trained with painstaking precision to do things in the same way. Thus the form of their work was identical, the process of their solutions was identical, and their mistakes were as well.

Barnängens koloniträdgårdsförening är en koloniträdgård på Södermalm i Stockholm. Koloniområdet ligger i norra delen av Vitabergsparken nedanför Sofia kyrka och gränser mot Skånegatan och Stora Mejtens gränd. Området är k-märkt i gällnde stadsplan från 1974.

Namnet "Barnängen" kommer från det barnhem som Danvikens Hospital anlade på samma plats i slutet av 1500-talet och här låg Barnängens Tekniska Fabrik fram till 1920-talet.

Barnängens koloniträdgårdsförening  bildades 1906 och var en av de första i Stockholm. Initiativtagare var Anna Lindhagen, som hittade förebilden för kolonirörelsen i Danmark och började anlägga liknande koloniträdgårdar 1905 på Norra Djurgården i Stockholm. Koloniområdet i Barnängen är idag bara en liten rest av de hundratals kolonilotter som en gång låg här och som sträckte sig ända ner till Hammarby sjö.

Med åren använde Stockholms stad allt mer av Barnängens mark för att bygga bostadshus. Idag har området 28 lotter kvar. Många av stugorna är i original sedan starten och uppförda efter typritningar gjorda av arkitekten Ragnar Östberg.

When it comes to addiction, there's a big a big need for support groups and services across the Triad, especially in rural areas.
TRINITY, N.C. -- Each week a group meets at Poplar Ridge Friends Meeting in Trinity, but it's not for your typical church service.
The meeting is called Celebrate Recovery, a religious-based support group that meets every Thursday night. Most people who go are recovering from addiction, but it's open to anyone who wants freedom from "hurts, habits and hang-ups."
"It's an umbrella program that covers a broad spectrum of struggles," explains Mark Culler, a group leader.
When it comes to addiction, there's a big a big need for support groups and services across the Triad, especially in rural areas. Culler has been through addiction treatment in Greensboro and says he wanted to start the program in another place it's needed.
Chris Hatfield says he's been going since he got out of rehab. He recently celebrated six months of sobriety and says the group helps him stay on track.
"I'm in the process of now busting out of my cocoon and becoming a new person, a better person," Hatfield tells.
"You think you're the only one out there suffering," says Michelle Lundgren, another group member. "Recovery is not just drugs and alcohol. It's about anything that's going on in your life."
Lundgren lives right down the road, which makes it convenient for her to come regularly.
A lot of recovery resources are based in Greensboro or High Point, where there's a larger population. Many group members say this Celebrate Recovery is one of the only local groups they can find close to home.
"Folks might be a little more reluctant if they have to get on the road and drive 30-45 minutes to a support group," says Christopher Varner, a small group leader who comes to meetings for PTSD. "It's already a touchy experience to come to a support group, to admit that you have issues here but to have one right down the road it really helps out a lot."
The church also recently launched Celebration Place, a spot for kids while their parents are in the group meeting.
"We always have a lesson that corresponds with the lessons that we're teaching with the adults," Culler adds.
The Celebrate Recovery group has been meeting since June and it's grown to about 20-30 people each meeting. The meetings are confidential and offer a safe place to share experiences each week.

Shriswara is an Indian film actress primarily popular in the Tamil and Hindi film industry. In Bollywood, she is known for her roles in films like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and D-Day. Shriswara spent her childhood in Lucknow, before moving to the US, to study science. There she entered a beauty pageant and became a first runner-up, after which she moved to Mumbai. Her first audition was for Samsung with Aamir Khan which did not materialize. After several more attempts, she landed her first ad eight months later. She first appeared on the screen with a negative role, playing a 50 year-old lady in a television serial. In 2011, she was cast in director Shine Krishna's 4pm on the court. She made a breakthrough in Bollywood with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013), opposite Farhan Akhtar, as Milkha's wife. For his D-Day (2013), director Nikhil Advani wanted someone new, someone who wouldn't be weighed down with an image. After portraying the unsuspecting wife of an Indian RAW agent, based in Pakistan, Shriswara walked away with all the praise for holding her own against Irrfan Khan. She was nominated as the Most Promising Newcomer at Screen Weekly Awards in 2014, for her role in D-Day. She also starred in Singham Returns (2014) and was last seen in Guddu Rangeela (2015).

Sophus Frederik Kühnel (11 May 1851 – 13 October 1930) was a Danish architect best known for his design of Mejlborg and a number of other buildings in Aarhus.

Biography
Kühnel was born in Sæby, Denmark.
He was the son of parish priest  Theodor Sextus Kühnel and Betzy Larsen.
He  moved to Copenhagen to study at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Upon graduation he found employment with Vilhelm Dahlerup and Ferdinand Meldahl in Copenhagen. In the 1880s Kühnel moved to Aarhus to work as inspector for Vilhelm Theodor Walther on the restoration of Aarhus Cathedral.

Kühnel stayed in Aarhus and was responsible for a number of notable structures there. His work is historicist often inspired by Renaissance and Gothic Architecture. The Business- and Agricultural Bank of Jutland building utilizes a style inspired by Italian architecture and the richly decorated Mejlborg is a mix of Gothic and Renaissance architecture.

Kühnel worked on the National Exhibition of 1909 where he helped move an old building from 1596 to the historic section of the exhibit. The old buildings displayed there became the later Old Town Museum partly on the initiative of Kühnel. He worked for the museum for many years and orchestrated the relocation of several old buildings to the museum.

ZTE banned from buying smartphone parts from U.S. firms like Qualcomm and Microsoft
By Rich Woods Senior Editor for North America Neowin @@TheRichWoods · Apr 16, 2018 12:14 EDT · Hot! with 36 comments
ZTE is now banned from purchasing components from companies in the United States, according to a ruling from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The news comes after ZTE last year pled guilty in federal court to subvert U.S. sanctions in Iran. The Chinese company used a series of shell companies to sell its products in Iran, and after pleading guilty, it promised to terminate four senior employees and to discipline 35 others. It also paid $890 million in fines. In March, however, the firm admitted that it hadn't disciplined the 35 employees, or even reduced their bonuses.
"This will be devastating to the company, given their reliance on U.S. products and software," said Douglas Jacobson, an exports control lawyer that represents ZTE suppliers. "It's certainly going to make it very difficult for them to produce and will have a potentially significant short and long-term negative impact on the company."
According to the report from Reuters, ZTE has often used components from U.S.-based companies like Qualcomm, Intel, and Microsoft in its products. That means the the company will no longer be able to get Qualcomm's latest chipsets, which are widely used in premium smartphones across the industry. Now, it seems that ZTE will have to resort to companies like MediaTek for SoCs to use in its handsets.
While ZTE can continue to sell its products in the United States, being unable to use parts from Qualcomm, Intel, and other U.S. companies could prove to be devastating to the firm. The company can resume purchasing these components from the U.S. after seven years.

Creek Music Center, or Deer Creek for short!
Now that we have that detail out of the way, the show featured ZZ Top, Ted Nugent, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd & Double Trouble…yes, THAT Double Trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughan's backing band.
Due to a chronically late person that I went to the concert with, we didn't arrive until after they finished their set. This put me in a foul mood, but Ted Nugent quickly made things better by playing a great set of Ted Nugent music!
The headliners, the bearded wonders from Texas, ZZ Top closed the show in all their bluesy glory. Billy Gibbons is the epitome of cool, a sharp dressed man playing a razor sharp array of cool guitars, matched in all his patented stage moves by his bass playing twin named Dusty Hill.
The beardless Frank Beard pounded out the beats to all those MTV hits and the even better stuff like "La Grange", "Tush", and "Jesus Just Left Chicago".
I have seen both ZZ Top and Ted Nugent play better shows, but any time I can see them together is a pretty solid day.
Sure wish I could have seen Kenny and Double Trouble, though. I bet that was amazing. Sound off if you were there and let me know what I missed!


The ultimate concealer for very dark circles, hyperpigmentation and bruising.
Enlighten 1 works well for light to medium skin tones, Enlighten 2 is best for medium to dark skin tones.
Apply to dark circles under the eyes, or discolourations anywhere on the face.
If further blending is needed, gently "feather" the edges by pressing and patting with the ring finger.
To finish, apply your favorite foundation and mist with Hydration Spray.

The most vicious hex in sports strikes again.
The Patriots announced Thursday that star tight end Rob Gronkowski will undergo back surgery today, bringing his season to an unexpected end. But if you know anything about football, video games and the dark arts, you knew this was coming.
Last May, Gronk landed on the cover of Madden 17, an great honor for any NFL player that signifies his status as one of the game's best. Unfortunately, it also means disaster is around the corner.
You know why. It's the Madden curse, the jinx that has downed a slew of players who appeared on the cover of the iconic EA game over the years. Among its most memorable victims are Shaun Alexander, who broke his foot in his third game after appearing on the cover and saw his would-be Hall of Fame career sputter out, Donovan McNabb, who injured his groin after a career year landed him on the cover, and Michael Vick, who broke his leg and missed 11 games in the season after he got the cover.
Even with all that unassailable proof, plenty think the curse is nonsense. They'll point to the three recent players who appeared on the cover of Madden—Calvin Johnson, Richard Sherman and Odell Beckham Jr. —and made it through subsequent seasons unscathed. They'll suggest that it doesn't take a curse for Gronk to need back surgery. After all, this will be the third time he's gone under the knife for a back-related problem. And they'll say curses don't exist.
If the Madden curse had indeed gone dormant in recent years, that's just that kind of trash talk that would bring it out of retirement to snap Gronk's back in half.

And, finally, 7-8-8-0 Club offers everyday folks a chance to see the exclusive Stein Eriksen Residences at Deer Valley — without an overnight stay.

Exhibition: Thurs 29 March – Sat 5 May 2018 (open Thurs-Sat, 10am-3pm, or by appointment)
CAMPLE LINE is pleased to present a new solo exhibition by Karen Cunningham in spring 2018. Cunningham will install two new works made in-situ specifically for our upstairs space. Both works will comprise specific selections and combinations of familiar materials including wire, rope, plastic and glass.
A floor-based work will re-present materials that Cunningham has 'interrupted' from various recycling processes: brightly-coloured plastics that have been re-ground for new uses or reprocessed for injection moulding; glass recycled from discarded TVs and monitor screens; and ocean shells and coral. A second new work, suspended from the ceiling trusses, will incorporate insulated electrical wires, CAT5E cables, jute and rope, making subtle references to the region's history as part of the 19th century efforts to lay submarine telegraphic cable.
In our screening space, we will show Cunningham's most recent film Movable Type: Under Erasure (2016, 13mins 30 sec) at scheduled times. The film will screen during the exhibition opening and then between 12.30 and 2.30 on 7 April, 28 April and 5 May.
Movable Type: Under Erasure was filmed largely on location at Writing-on-Stone, Canada and features an original monologue written and read by the eminent theorist and cultural critic Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.
Karen Cunningham is based in Glasgow, Scotland. Her practice incorporates moving image, sculpture and photography. She studied photography at Edinburgh College of Art and received her MFA from Glasgow School of Art. Her film and video works have been shown throughout the UK and Europe, including Tramway, Glasgow; Collective, Edinburgh; Forum Stadtpark, Graz, Austria, The Showroom, London, and Malmö Konsthall, Sweden.

Mzansi Super League to grow to eight teams
Tournament currently comprises six sides
The third edition of the Mzansi Super League will reportedly feature eight teams. The first and second editions of South Africa's premier T20 tournament comprised six teams.
According to ESPNcricinfo, an East London and Bloemfontein franchise will join the Durban Heat, Paarl Rocks, Cape Town Blitz, Tshwane Spartans, Jozi Stars and Nelson Mandela Bay Giant in the competition.
The 2018 and 2019 MSLs were broadcast by the free-to-air South African Broadcasting Corporation. Cricket South Africa are reportedly in discussion with paid channel SuperSport to broadcast the MSL.
The tournament is usually played in the last two months of the year, but might be moved to March amid preventative measures against the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Bloemfontein were going to host a franchise for the Global T20 League. The Bloem City Blazers were due to play alongside the Cape Town Knight Riders, Stellenbosch Kings and others, but the franchises and tournament were aborted. The Global T20 League eventually launched as the MSL.
Bloemfontein is a landlocked city, while East London is on the coast. Bloemfontein and East London's main cricket grounds are the Mangaung Oval and Buffalo Park, respectively.
MSL history
The Paarl Rocks are the most successful franchise in the brief history of the MSL. They finished in third position on the points table in 2018 – and beat the Tshwane Spartans in the 2019 final.
The Jozi Stars won the inaugural tournament in 2018, after beating the Cape Town Blitz in the final. West Indian batsman Chris Gayle played for the Stars in 2018 and 2019. The franchise also had Australian all-rounder Dan Christian.
The Durban Heat are coached by former South Africa batsman Gary Kirsten, who was going to work with the Welsh Fire in the inaugural edition of the Hundred this year. The England and Wales Cricket Board's new limited-overs tournament, though, has been postponed to 2021. The Heat also had England batsman Alex Hales, who hasn't played international cricket for a lengthy period after being found guilty of recreational drug use.
"In terms of what that looks like, practically, it's human nature, it's about developing trust. I don't think you can put a time limit on gaining back that trust, and that's not just with me, that's with every member of the squad, the backroom staff, the selectors," said England captain Eoin Morgan of Hales recently.
"And that does take time. We're in May, so it's 11 months ago that the incident happened with Alex, so it's actually not that long ago that it happened."

While the foreign trade climate continues to stay heated, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue spent a few days touring farming operations up and down the state making several stops within the San Joaquin Valley. His visits were met by agriculture industry professionals who chatted about major industry topics during roundtable discussions. The topics included tariffs, export markets, market access and relief programs, accessible foreign workforce and reliable water supplies.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and Congressman David Valadao Visit HMC Farms in Kingsburg, Ca.
Accompanying Perdue were Congressmen Jim Costa, Jeff Denham, Steve Knight and David Valadao.
During Perdue's stop in Kingsburg, representatives from California industries — some of which lead the nation in production– including nuts, stone fruits and dairy made sure the state didn't get overlooked. Perdue reasoned with folks around the table, bringing up his roots in the ag industry and that he relates to their concerns. Those gathered reiterated the diversity of California's farming Valley and how it differs from other ag producing regions the Secretary may be familiar with. Perdue continued to listen and assured he is working with the administration to develop policy.
Listen to the interview with Perdue below.

It is exciting to watch the Rogue Play take on The Custard Factory's rather unloved theatre space and re-brand it as The Mixing Bowl. Their dynamic program of activity makes Stan's Cafe look lazy. New Performances, poetry nights, comedy nights and work by visiting companies come round in swift rotation.
The other week I zoomed down to see Rogue Play's installation piece Ultima Censura and was delighted to be led, not into the theatre but round and down into a half cellar space, high ceilinged and flooded. Huddled into the far end of the space ten domed hiking tents glowed. We picked our way to them over wooden pallets just proud of the water. In each tent a miniature installation addressed one of the Ten Commandments. Each audience member is asked to spend four minutes in each tent.
Inevitably the installations were of varying quality. Some were delicate and sensuously engaging – I enjoyed lying in the cosy nest of "Thou Shalt Rest on The Sabbath" thinking about The Children of Israel, the continuum of history and the lives of nomads. Others reflected their budgetary limitations and intense usage by feeling flimsy and worn out. There were some deft touches – following the somewhat flat "Thou Shalt Not Steal" in which you have the opportunity to pocket some lose change should you wish, "Thou Shalt Not Bare False Witness" shows you a video feed of activity within that previous tent. Three gently engaging encounters gave the piece a welcome live presence but missed the opportunity to respond to on the challenging nature of some of the commandments.
Ultimately the piece's success should probably be measured by the quality of the thought processes it prompted in each of its audience members. Mostly I had a pleasant enough time without being provoked in any substantial way, yet, to its credit, a couple of strands of thought took me into territory I've not explored before and have stayed with me, which is a great thing for a show to be able to claim credit for. Strongest of all was the setting, the vision of the tents in the flooded cellar.
I look forward to catching up with more Rogue Play before too long. If you haven't already, why not give them a go.
Thanks for this entry James. I hadn't heard of Rogue Play before, but having read this I've checked them out and have booked myself in to see their site-specific production of Measure for Measure at the Custard Factory in a couple of weeks' time. Looking forward to it. So that's the second of my West Mids companies that are new to me so far. At least 2 more to track down and find out about!
Good on you Michelle. I hope you enjoy it. I was hoping to attend too as the first of my 'Twelve A Year'. Maybe you could take someone with you and tick off another pledge commitment.

A pedestrian who died after being hit by a lorry in North End Road has been named
The Fulham pensioner, was trapped for 30 minutes before emergency crews could free him from the wheels of the lorry.
Camilla Horrox
Updated 15:20, 27 NOV 2013
A pedestrian has died after being hit by a lorry
Lezli Charles Taubler, 72, died last Thursday after being hit by a lorry in North End Road at 4:15pm.
Mr Taubler, described as a quiet man who kept himself to himself, was living on Castletown Road just around the corner from where he died.
Police, fire engines and ambulance crews arrived quickly at the scene close to West Kensington tube station after receiving a call at 4:15pm.
Tragically he did not survive and was pronounced dead at the scene by a doctor from London's Air Ambulance crew just after 5pm.
Lezli Taubler's neighbour Valentine Tobin said: "He kept himself to himself but I'd see him now and again to pass the time of day. He seemed a lovely bloke and used to work in the theatre before he retired. He was an actor I think. So incredibly sad that that can happen to you on the way to the shops just at the end of your road."
Pharmacist Pradip Pandit said: "He used to come in here for his prescriptions quite often. He was a very nice guy but was quite quiet. Such an awful accident."
Sirouz Saadet, from The Repair Centre shop next to the scene, said a passer-by held the man's hand for an hour, talking to him and asking him to respond by squeezing his hand.
He said: "It's really terrible, but the police and ambulances were there quickly. But he was trapped for what felt like a long time before the equipment to lift the lorry arrived which is appalling. It was obvious straight away that they needed equipment to lift it off him, but it took too long."
Irma Lazickiene, 39, who lives in a flat above where the collision took place, said: "He was under the wheels and they couldn't get him out. They had to wait until the fire guys turned up to get him out as safely as possible.
"Then finally the firemen pulled him out and the paramedics tried to resuscitate him. They were pumping his chest for about 20 minutes."
Mohammed Riasi, 32, a delivery driver from Barons Florists, said: "He was crossing the road, he was in the middle of the street and the struck started moving. The driver must not have been able to see him and he was stuck under the wheels.
"I think he was still alive, but he didn't make it."
A London Fire Brigade spokesman said: "Our thoughts go out to the man's family and friends. Firefighters arrived quickly and alongside paramedics did everything they could to save the man's life. When a person is seriously injured under a vehicle the slightest movement could be critical. We are always guided by paramedics at the scene who advise us of the best time to release a patient to give them the best possibly chance of survival."
A spokeswoman from London Ambulance Service, said: "Sadly, despite our greatest efforts to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead at the scene."
North End Road was still closed at 6pm between Talgarth Road and Lillie Road.
His body was still at the scene at 6pm and police confirmed there have been no arrests so far. They are investigating the incident.

If all goes well the F3 will be on display during the NRHS Convention at Steamtown next month.

What a tremendous job Tri-State RHS and ARHS members are doing in the repair and repainting of their F3 locomotives.
What a shame that the NRHS cannot come up with some more significant support and promotional use for them in their upcoming National Convention at the Steamtown NHS.
A town packed with classic diesels and an event that does very little to feature them.

You may be more in the know on this than me.
When I was active with TSRHS, I believe we applied for and received an NRHS grant for one of our projects. It was very useful.
It's possible that either TSRHS or ARHS may have applied for/received grants from NRHS for the respective engine overhauls. Certainly Steamtown appears to be very accommodative in hosting the F's for months and permitting these volunteers to have dedicated space INDOORS in the roundhouse as well as outdoor trackage for this restoration effort.
With a month to go, both engines should/hopefully be cosmetically complete for display at the convention.
Perhaps I am being too critical of the NRHS but when you look at the schedule of events and see that there are no seminars related to diesels (as usual) and see that these superb units are being used just for static display and photo lineups, it seems to me that the NRHS is missing the boat, or the train (again).
There are only a few people left around now who participated in the design and construction of first generation diesels. Having this many classic diesels gathered in one location could be an opportunity to do some activities that share their experience and knowledge. But I don't see the NRHS national organization making any effort to reach out to them just as there was no effort to reach out to the steam designers and builders before them. It seems like another opportunity is being lost.
But that is an issue entirely separate from the superb effort that ARHS and Tri-State are putting into restoring their respective locomotives.
Update....WOW !

I would say first offer a sizeable donation to your favorite chapter with your favorite engine. That will get their attention, and some may listen to you. There are many good people in the NRHS, that being said. When I was younger, I asked many members to save Erie's Alco Pa's At that time the answer was railroads own equipment not people. Only a nut would buy a real train! Many of these people were millionaires. Many own railroad and oil company stocks which were in their familys for a humdred years! In those days older people had money. They worked and saved for it. And didn't charge things, they saved for things. The NRHS I'm sure still has some millionaires in it. But to them trains are just a hobby. Getting them to spend it. I don't have a answer to that. Thank god, for the few nuts that bought equipment.

Yes, sending donations direct to the organization that maintains the equipment is by far the best way to go, as in the case of Tri-State RHS and the ARHS, the owners of the two F3A locomotives.
As long as the NRHS National is producing stuff like the membership brochure a couple years ago that was almost entirely illustrated with steam locomotives, I can't see much point to sending them donations. There is really nothing wrong with steam locomotives, I like them too, but they have faded to a very minor aspect of railroading, and when your agenda is to force-feed an almost exclusive diet of them to potential members it advertises that there is something wrong with the priorities within the organization.
Here's the latest update on the F3's....
Appears that the ARHS unit - LACKAWANNA #664 - is fully painted and ready for display at the NRHS Convention this week in Scranton. The TSRHS unit - LACKAWANNA #663 - will be in grey only but with maroon nose herald and side body lettering applied plus finished # boards. #663 needed much more body work than #664 when this project commenced 3-4 months ago. It will receive it's full maroon & yellow post-convention.
I'm told both units are operational at present but will need some required/updated maintenance in the near future. In the interim, they may indeed do some nominal movements around the Steamtown yard later this Summer/Fall.
Esteemed photographer Bob Vogel captured several great images yesterday at the NRHS Convention in Scranton/Steamtown....

These are all of the ARHS F3 #664 . TSRHS F3 #663, in grey-ghost scheme, was spotted/displayed just behind the roundhouse. It will receive it's maroon & yellow striping post convention.

The ARHS paid for the restoration of #663 out of our own funds (prior donations from our members), but we have rec'd some outside support as the project progressed. We did not have as much bodywork to do as did Tri-State, so the paint was our main cost. I think it was in the $3-4000 range, including the various and sundry supplies needed to prep the unit for painting.

#664 looks fantastic !
Can't wait to see both F's hauling an excursion to the Gap and back in September
Re: LACKAWANNA F3 Recreation ! #663 update
Proceeding from the 'grey ghost' scheme during the NRHS Convention to the full freight scheme to match the ARHS #664 sister unit.
Also note word that the 'B' unit will be joining the two F's in Scranton for an eventual matched set.

Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig Working With Jaden Smith?
. (Radio.com) Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig is no stranger to collaboration. Whether it has meant lending a voice to his bandmate Rostam Batmanglij's side-project Discovery to crossovers with more dance-oriented artists like Major Lazer and Duck Sauce, Koenig's career is characterized by a willingness to work with a range of artists.
Even this past weekend, Koenig was seen on stage performing with Chromeo at New York's Governors Ball. But, maybe his strangest collaboration yet is the new one that is rumored, fueled by a Twitter post from Koenig himself in which he stands next to Jaden Smith, Smith's arm firmly around the indie rocker's neck.
The caption on the picture is the item fueling speculation, where Koenig wrote, "things are bubbling in the sea beneath 14th street." Of course, anyone familiar with Koenig's Twitter account knows that the songwriter is an avid joker, and could just be using the photo op as an opportunity to get a laugh out of his friends and fans.

Heat warnings linger in Yukon, lift in B.C., but southern Interior storms approach
Rainfall and potential thundershowers may lead to increased runoff
Jun. 28, 2022 11:30 a.m.
Heat warnings and special weather statements have lifted across British Columbia but remain in place over large sections of Yukon as temperatures in the territory nudge 30 C — eight degrees above average.
Heat warnings are posted for the Dawson, Mayo and Pelly-Carmacks regions northwest of Whitehorse.
The weather office says the warnings were expected to lift later in the day, but special weather statements cover areas as far north as Old Crow, with temperatures up to 28 degrees expected through the weekend.
In B.C., the heat wave that pushed the mercury to the low- to mid-30s for three days has ended but severe thunderstorm watches are posted for the central and southern Interior.
The watches, advising of potentially damaging hail, strong winds and torrential rain, cover regions where flood warnings and watches are in effect for sections of the Quesnel, Thompson and South Thompson rivers, including Shuswap Lake.
The River Forecast Centre says waterways have peaked in most areas as recent heat has taken care of late-melting snow, but it warns levels are high and will be vulnerable to storm-related runoff.
Thunderstorm watches cover the Cariboo, North Thompson and 100 Mile regions south to the Shuswap, Okanagan, Arrow and Slocan lakes and the centre says those areas are being closely monitored.
"Rainfall and potential thundershowers over the regions on Tuesday into Wednesday may lead to increased runoff," the centre says.
"For rivers and lakes at or near capacity, this may lead to additional rises in levels on Tuesday and Wednesday."

TPU stands for Thermoplastic PolyUrethane, a laminate which makes the fabric like cloth diaper covers waterproof. TPU is attached to fabric via a heat-bonding process instead of via use of chemical solvents or formaldehyde as is found with PUL waterproofing. Not only is TPU waterproof and solvent-free, but it is also biodegradable and better for the environment and your baby's health! Our cloth-diaper testing round-up includes a few unique brands that use TPU laminate: Rumparooz G2 and GroVia Hybrid.


I love the idea of creating something completely unique for someone special and I am open to just about anything you can suggest or think up. Almost anything that is wooden can be burnt so creating a one-of-a-kind piece or gift is really only as limited as our imagination. Think frames, treasure/jewellery boxes, trays, bird houses and feeders, rolling pins, cutting boards, coasters, spoons, placemats, driftwood and more. The list could go on forever!
Send me an email at bki[at]hotmail.ca if you are interested in having a custom order done for yourself or as a gift. We'll discuss images, wood and font, if necessary, and I can give you an estimate on the time it will take and the price for the finished piece.

The Permanent Resident (PR) card provides you with proof of your residency status in Canada. Individuals who require this document include permanent residents who don't have the card and intend to travel outside of the country, and those looking to renew expired PR cards.
In order to acquire a permanent residency card, you'll need to prepare an application. Understanding what documents to include, and how to correctly complete the process will prevent unwanted complications that will cost you time and money.
There are a number of reasons for obtaining a permanent residency card. This includes renewal of an expired card, replacing a lost or damaged card, or obtaining a card for the first time.
Eligibility for the card requires that you be a permanent resident of Canada, as well as meeting a residency requirement of being in Canada for at least 2 years out of the 5 years prior to the application. There are certain exceptions to the residency requirement including for people who are working for a Canadian business abroad, or who are accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse or parent outside the country. If the applicant isn't meeting the residency requirement and doesn't fall into any of the exceptions, the PR card application can be made on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, by explaining the compelling reasons why the applicant has been unable to meet the residency requirement.
Your application will be made to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). Before you apply, review their checklist to ensure that you have a full understanding of what will be required. As the applicant, it is ultimately your responsibility to meet all of the requirements for the application.
As you gather the necessary documents, make sure they are current. This includes a primary and secondary identification document, proof of residency, and the appropriate photographs as outlined in the CIC checklist.
If you are providing documents from outside the country that are not in either of the two official languages of Canada, you'll need to have them translated to English or French. Certified copies of these documents, as well as affidavits from the translators will also be required for application.
It's essential that you provide all of the information to avoid any disruption in the processing of your application. In particular, you must clearly state your absences from Canada within the relevant 5-year period. Check your passport and visa stamps to ensure that you have calculated the correct number of days that you have been outside Canada. If there are no stamps verifying departure or arrival, look at your old travel itineraries, flight ticket stubs, hotel bills and credit card statements to figure out when you left and when you came back.
The information you provide must be accurate. Any false information could prevent you from obtaining your permanent residency card. If false information is discovered after you've been granted it, the government could revoke your permanent residence later.
Its best to prepare your forms and supporting documents on a computer. The information will be presented more clearly, while making the application process easier. It will also be easier to store all of the documents you've prepared for easy access in the future. Always keep a copy of any information that you send to the immigration authorities, and keep a copy of their correspondence as well.
Once you've prepared your application, you can send it through a reliable and trackable service. Save your delivery receipts and any other relevant documents to make sure that your application has been sent to the correct address.
Although applying for your permanent residency card can be a complex and time-intensive process, knowing what documents to include ahead of time will save you many headaches down the road. By providing complete and accurate information, your application will be processed efficiently and without any delay.

Zoologger: Cannibal tadpoles eat the competition
Zoologger is our weekly column highlighting extraordinary animals – and occasionally other organisms – from around the world
Life 9 April 2014
By Jeff Hecht
It's a tadpole eat tadpole world
(Image: Superstock)
Species: Lithobates sylvaticus
Habitat: much of the north half of North America, from Canada to the Appalachians – where they must survive being frozen solid
Wood frog tadpoles look innocent as they swim in pools or streams in early spring. But they have a ruthless taste for flesh. When the pool gets crowded, these tadpoles don't just push competitors aside. They eat them.
"Tadpoles are like water balloons; if you puncture their body cavities, they're dead," says Dale Jefferson of the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. The cannibal starts to eat the victim alive, and other tadpoles join in the feast.
Why do they do it? Maybe because they are in a race to grow up. The winners transform into frogs and hop into the outside world – the losers become lunch.
Hungry hungry tadpoles
Many species of tadpole have been known to resort to cannibalism occasionally, but it is not clear what drives them to it. To find out, Jefferson studied captive wood frog tadpoles.
One idea is that cannibalism might be the ideal diet to help tadpoles grow rapidly, because it supplies exactly the mix of nutrients found in their bodies. But when Jefferson tried feeding lone swimmers a diet of ground-up tadpoles, they refused to eat it until they were nearly starving. Like humans, they only turned cannibal as a last resort.
But when Jefferson kept the tadpoles in dense groups, he found that they readily ate their ground-up compatriots. That suggests the tadpoles were competing with each other, trying to reach adulthood first.
However, cannibals did not grow as fast as tadpoles that were fed a protein-rich mixture of brine shrimp, suggesting that the cannibal diet was far from ideal.
Tough world
Jefferson says the tadpoles are responding to a difficult situation. The small pools of water they live in are inherently short-lived, so they must grow fast or die when the water dries up. Eating each other might not be the best diet, but it gets rid of the competition.
Cannibalism has its risks, particularly disease transmission. But chemical cues build up if lots of tadpoles are excreting waste into the water, and these make the tadpoles more competitive. Jefferson suggests that the tadpoles are making a subtle decision and turning cannibal when these cues reach a critical threshold.
"The neat part is that the tadpole can assess the situation and make appropriate evaluations," says Ronald Altig of Mississippi State University.
Wood frog tadpoles aren't the only ones with a taste for blood – tadpoles of New Mexico spadefoot toads eat plants when they first hatch, but sometimes transform into voracious predators.

Will free parking near Surrey Memorial Hospital become free parking at Surrey Memorial Hospital?
The ball is now in the Fraser Health Authority's court.
On Monday, city council approved free parking, for two hours at a time, on the streets around SMH and at the city hall parkade.
The city operates 103 on-street pay parking spots in the immediate vicinity of SMH while Fraser Health or private companies operate 2,041 off-street parking spaces.
So, Surrey's part, laudable as it is, is but a drop in the bucket.
It costs $4.25 for the first hour of parking at one of SMH's 1,790 stalls and $3.50 per additional hour. If you're parking in one of the Surrey Medical Arts Building lot's 87 stalls, you'll pay $3 for the first hour and $2.50 for each additional hour. Parking in one of Surrey Health Sciences lot's 185 stalls will cost you $2.50 per hour, and SMH has 43 Creekside lot stalls that cost $3.75 for the first hour and $3.25 for each additional hour.
The FHA is raking in good coin through pay parking, on a daily basis. According to the FHA, proceeds from pay parking "help support the purchase" of hospital equipment and services.
Surely there must be a better way to fund health care than shaking down patients who need to be at the hospital, some of them under life-threatening circumstances. It's not like they're enjoying a night out at the theatre.
We have a federal government that has provided billions of tax dollars in foreign aid to other countries and yet our hospitals are forced to rely on pay parking to buy equipment and fund health services?

Investigating Miracles
Humans have been fascinated by miraculous works since time immemorial. In the Hebrew Bible, they proved the power of an almighty God. In early Christianity, they were the mark of Jesus's divinity. In Islam, the Qur'an itself is considered a great miracle. Later, the Enlightenment and rationalism called miracles into question, but believers still wonder, "Could some miracles be real?" This comprehensive text presents the history of miracles in the world's major religions and the scientific attempts to debunk or prove them. Factuality aside, miracles hold a relevant place in popular culture, a topic also addressed in this must-read title.

PHOENIX — Ailing Arizona Sen. John McCain may be willing to give up his seat if it would help Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh be confirmed, a national political analyst said Tuesday.
President Donald Trump announced Kavanaugh, a federal appeals court judge, as his choice Monday to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.
The GOP has a narrow majority margin in the Senate, 51-49 (including two independents who caucus with the Democrats).
McCain has not been in Washington since December, while he battles brain cancer. Castellanos, who worked on presidential campaigns for George W. Bush and Mitt Romney, said the 81-year-old would try to make it back for the vote.
The senator has already showed public support of Kavanaugh.
"In selecting Judge Brett Kavanaugh to fill the vacancy left by Justice Kennedy, President Trump has chosen a nominee with impeccable credentials and a strong record of upholding the Constitution," McCain said in a statement Monday shortly after the nominee was named.
Both of Arizona's senators could have a say in Kavanaugh's future.
Republican Sen. Jeff Flake sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Only a couple of weeks ago, Flake said he would block the president's judicial nominees, but not the Supreme Court pick.
"No issue unites Republicans like this," Castellanos said.

Q: Run C programs from sublime 2.02 I want to compile and run  C/C++ programs with sublimetext 2 itself.I dont want to use terminal to do so. What do I need to do for this??I am compeletely new to this so a lot of answers to similar questions did not help me as most of them were for windows.

A: sublime text 2 build system for C programming language should show you how to setup your build environment. Note: you need gcc etc. installed
Edit: you should although run your programm in a Terminal because SublimeText2 is an Editor and can not recieve user input for your programm. so you better just build it with ST2 and run it in Terminal or you just forget about ST2 and make your own Bash script that manages compiling and runs the programm.

A: I would use sublime text as an editor (which is what IDEs are). Then you'll need to have a Makefile for your program. And build it by typing make in a terminal (or by configuring your editor to run that command). BTW, you can type m a k e enter once in your day (and later use up in the same terminal, to reapeat the latest command).
Learning how to write simple Makefile-s is a reusable skill (see here for "why?"). See this and  that and many other examples. Don't attach yourself to one particular editor (even if you may like one more than others; my preference goes to emacs).
You'll learn a big lot by studying (and improving) the source code of some free software. Look at sourceforge, github, etc.. to find some free software interesting to you, then download its source code, build it, and study it.
The tips and advices I gave here are still valid today, with a recent Ubuntu (e.g. 14.x)
BTW, your question looks like you might be confused; Sublime Text is an editor (perhaps glorified as an IDE). It does not compile anything. The C or C++ compiler on Ubuntu is  GCC (using gcc command for compiling C code, and g++ command for compiling C++ code) or perhaps Clang/LLVM (using clang command for C code, and clang++ command for C++ code). That compiler is often started by make, and IDEs on Linux are often running make -or directly the compiler- command for you. You'll better be able to run these commands yourself.
