Q: How do fetch remote branch after I cloned repo with git clone --depth 1 I've repo with long history so I cloned using
git clone <url> --depth 1

Now I'm in the master branch.
How do I fetch remote branch called 'feature/my-feature' that was branched 3 commits earlier?
I've tried:
git checkout -b feature/my-feature  origin/feature/my-feature

and
git fetch -all

but I still only see master branch

A: You could try forcing it by specifying the fetch depth:
git fetch --depth=999999

depth is the number of commits. Note that when you did a clone, clone actually does a fetch and the depth is the same depth specified in your fetch.
Make that number bigger if needed!
EDIT
Also you can/probably-should use deepen - same syntax, but it effectively fetches from where your last specified depth left off.. so its a bit more efficient:
git fetch --deepen=999999

It might depend on your git version though for that last one....
EDIT 2
Just saw this while I was reviewing the git docs....
git fetch --unshallow

This would be the best way (not sure which version it is implemented in and I have not tried it.... but looks like the thing to use).

A: TL;DR
You need either:
git config --add remote.origin.fetch \
    +refs/heads/feature/my-feature:refs/remotes/origin/feature/myfeature

or:
git config remote.origin.fetch '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'

followed by any of:
git fetch
git fetch --depth=<number>
git fetch --deepen=<number>
git fetch --unshallow

Explanation
When you make a shallow clone, Git adjusts two things:

*

*the default set of branch(es) or tag(s) to be obtained and updated; and

*the depth of the initial fetch.

(Running git clone is shorthand, as it were, for doing a long sequence of Git commands that include git init, git remote add, git fetch, and git checkout.  There may be a few more commands used, if necessary.)
In particular, --depth 1 has the side effect of adding --single-branch.  If you do not also cancel this out with an explicit --no-single-branch, Git will configure the fetch line, as if you had run:
git config remote.origin.fetch +refs/heads/<branch>:refs/remotes/origin/<branch>

This tells later git fetch commands to bring over only the given <branch>, and no others.
A normal (non-shallow, non-single-branch) git clone uses the default setting:
git config remote.origin.fetch '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'

which tells each later git fetch to bring over every branch.
Then, having configured all future fetch operations to be single-branch, the shallow clone fetches with your specified --depth, which inserts special "graft" entries using a file named .git/shallow.  These affect the overall usefulness of the clone (but much less so in any modern Git); for more about this, see Is it safe to shallow clone with --depth 1, create commits, and pull updates again?  For here, though, note that this does not retain the --depth number.  It just cuts short the initial fetch.  The behavior of future fetches, especially those that use a different reference name, is hard to predict from this.
If you run git fetch --unshallow, Git will find all the shallow cut-offs and re-fetch all history from before this point.  Then Git removes the special .git/shallow file entirely, and the clone behaves like a non-shallow clone.  This is independent of whether the clone behaves like a --single-branch clone.
If you run git fetch with a specific --depth or --deepen, Git will make new shallow cut-offs as needed to set the depth to the number you specify, or increase any existing shallow cut-offs by the number you specify.  If there are multiple branches, the relationship between their various cut-offs is complicated (it's all based on graph walking and without code inspection or testing, it's hard to say how Git will behave in some tricky cases).

Visiting Paradise
Spoilers/Timeline: AU, set @ season 9-10 but O'Neill is in command of the SGC.
A/N1: Written for fluffbingo, prompt: veg out, and 100prompts, table 1/prompt 18: beach
"Dr. Fraiser, report to the control room. Dr. Fraiser, report to the control room."
Janet pinched the bridge of her nose. The last thing she needed was another emergency. She'd already been on duty for six days with minimal breaks. All she wanted was to go home and get some sleep. With a sigh, she headed out of the infirmary after telling her head nurse, Major Darla Miller, to hold down the fort.
She found the general in the control room with the usual personnel. She immediately noticed the stargate was active, but she didn't have a clue which planet it was connected to.
"Reporting as ordered, sir."
"I need you to go to P2X-898, Doc," General O'Neill said with a nod toward the stargate.
"I can send Dr. Peterson, sir," she replied.
"If I wanted to send Dr. Peterson, I would have paged him. It's your presence that is required on P2X-898, Doctor."
"With all due respect, General, I am in no condition to go off-world. You know how long I've been on duty and—"
"It's not a request, Colonel. Now get changed and get yourself down to the gate room." He leaned forward and keyed the radio microphone. "Dr. Fraiser will be with you in a few minutes. O'Neill out."
"Yes, sir," she sighed.
Janet wanted to argue the point with him, pull medical rank, but she was simply too damn tired. That alone should have told her she had no business going off-world, but ten minutes later, she was in her BDUs and waiting at the base of the ramp to the stargate. When the gate started dialing, she hefted her large pack.
"Leave your pack here."
She turned at the sound of O'Neill's voice. "Sir?"
He walked up and took the pack from her. "You don't need to take your pack with you."
The gate activated.
She frowned in confusion. "I don't understand."
"Trust me, Doc. Go on," he urged.
Confused as hell, Janet walked up the ramp and through gate to P2X-898.
Sam greeted her with a bright smile. "Hey, Janet."
"What's going on, Sam? The general wouldn't tell me, and I'm in no mood for games. I'm exhausted."
"I know. That's why you're here."
Stepping up next to Janet and slipping her arm around her shoulders, Sam gave her a gentle squeeze. "Everyone knows how hard you've been working this past week. So you're here for some R and R. Come on, let me show you where you're going to stay."
Janet was having trouble comprehending everything—a testament to her state of exhaustion. She simply walked with Sam, focusing on not tripping over her own feet. Almost before she knew it, Sam was pushing aside a drape of weeping willow branches and they stepped onto a white-sand beach. Janet stopped and gazed at the bluest water she'd ever seen, as it gently lapped along the beach.
"What is this?" she asked.
"A private beach."
She looked at Sam, still not quite comprehending.
"When the Erindi granted us the use of this planet, they told us it was uninhabited, but the Premier used it as a private vacation spot. This beach was her favorite spot and is why that cabin was built here," Sam explained and pointed to a building about fifty yards south of where they were standing. "This beach and that cabin are for your exclusive use over the next five days to rest and relax."
Janet was finally beginning to fully comprehend what was going on, what was being offered to her. Gazing out over the beach, she felt a lump form in her throat and tears well in her eyes. She'd been so much closer to her breaking point than she'd realized, but the general and SG-1 had seen it and were offering some time in what was a paradise. This was so much better than vegging out at home. After regaining enough control over her emotions to speak, she turned back to Sam.
"Exclusive use? Does that mean I'll have the beach and cabin to myself, or can I have someone stay with me?"
Sam gave her a bright smile. "It's whatever you want, honey. If you want time to yourself, that's fine. If you want me to stay with you—"
"Then my R and R starts now, too."
Hand-in-hand they walked along the beach to the cabin, looking forward to some quality time together.

watchOS 5.1.2 is released to Apple Watches owners, bringing ECG in the United States
IOS 12.1.1, macOS Mojave 10.14.2 and tvOS 12.1.1 had already left yesterday, but it was still missing watchOS 5.1.2. No more: it has just been officially released to all compatible Apple Watch owners in its 16S46 build.
Pulse ECG
This version comes with a big news: this is the ECG feature, which is initially available only in the US (but you can try changing your Apple Watch region to that country if you bought your Apple Watch on pas). Soon we will post a demo video here on MacMagazine.
According to Apple, it is the first direct-to-consumer product that allows customers to perform a pulse electrocardiogram, capturing heart rate at a time when they experience symptoms such as rapid or bouncing beats, helping to provide critical data to physicians.
Apple Watch's irregular rhythm notification feature (running from Series 1, it should be noted) can now also occasionally check background heart rhythms and send a notification if an irregular heart rate, which looks like atrial fibrillation ( AFib) is identified. This feature is the result of Apple's work with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for several years to receive the ?New? rating for the ECG application and for irregular heart rate notification.
Apple also pointed out that when left untreated, AFib is one of the main conditions that can result in stroke, the second most common cause of death worldwide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that AFib can affect up to 2% of the young population and 9% of those 65 and older in the US.
Jeff Willians, Apple's chief operating officer, made the following statement:
Apple Watch has been helping so many people around the world and we are humble to become such an important part of our customers' lives. With the release of these features, Apple Watch takes the next step to empower people with more information about their health.
Dr. Sumbul Desai, Apple's vice president of health, also commented on the arrival of the appeal:
We are confident in the ability of these features to help users have more informed conversations with their doctors. With the ECG app and uneven pace notification feature, customers can now better understand aspects of their heart health in a more meaningful way.
New electrodes built into the back of the watch and Digital Crown Apple Watch Series 4 devices work in conjunction with the ECG application to enable an electrocardiogram similar to a single electrode reading.
To make an ECG recording at any time or after an irregular rhythm notification, simply open the ECG app on the Apple Watch Series 4 and put your finger on the Digital Crown. When the user touches it, the completed circuit and the electrical signals in the heart are measured. After 30 seconds, the heart rate is classified as AFib, sinus rhythm or inconclusive.
All recordings, their associated ratings and any observed symptoms are safely stored in the Sade app (Health) from the iPhone. And sharing this information with your doctor is very simple, just generate a PDF.

Machinists: Grassley-Alexander Multi-employer Pension Plan Proposal is a Tax on Retirees
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, 2019 – International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) International President Robert Martinez Jr. issued the following statement regarding the proposal by U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-La.) and Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) addressing the multi-employer pension plan crisis:
"Proponents of this plan can call it whatever they want, but it is nothing more than a tax on one of our most vulnerable groups—senior citizens. The proposal would take a sledgehammer to the hard-earned pensions of millions of Americans. Instead of putting forward a good-faith attempt to fix our nation's pension crisis, this plan would only speed up the collapse of the entire multi-employer pension system. We must do better for both retirees and current plan participants who have sacrificed portions of their paychecks for decades based on a promise for a secure retirement.
"Working Americans are not asking for a bailout, like the over $700 billion the government gave to the banks and Wall Street in 2008. We are merely asking that Congress does not follow up a massive corporate tax giveaway with this latest pension proposal, which would amount to a multi-billion dollar tax increase on working families and retirees.
"The Senate should instead pass a real, proactive solution which rehabilitates failing plans, bolsters the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) and protects the earned benefits of millions of retirees, workers and their families. The Butch Lewis Act, which was passed by the House in a bipartisan manner, would accomplish these goals without stealing from retirees, workers and their families. I urge every member of the U.S. Senate to co-sponsor the Butch Lewis Act and put it a floor vote immediately."
READ: The IAM has sent letters to members of both the House and Senate supporting the Butch Lewis Act.

Kit Harington and Rose Leslie are already planning their wedding! The Game of Thrones stars are set to get married next month, according to BBC News report.
On Friday, May 25, the news network revealed both the couple's wedding date and venue. They will be tying the knot on 23 June at the Huntly registration office in Aberdeenshire.
The couple, who first met on the set of the hit HBO fantasy drama and eventually started dating in 2012, announced last year on September 2017 that they have been engaged.
However, earlier this year, the 31-year-old reality star opened up about wedding planning, saying that she is too much busy to plan their big day.
In an interview with Town & Country in a February, Rose, who played Ygritte in GOT, said, "I'm trying to fit in my wedding".
While juggling her busy filming schedule for The Good Fight, she said at the time, "I haven't tackled it. There's just too much to do".
Following the couple's engagement news, Kit, 31, who plays Jon Snow, opened up about how the proposal didn't go as planned.
I did have some plans to do it, I was going to string up some lights in some trees and do all the romantic stuff … But we were in the country and we were under this beautiful night sky and had a log fire burning and red wine, and I blew my load early. Sorry, that's a really bad expression! I was meant to do it the day after with the lights. What I meant to say was, I popped my question a bit early. Not blew my load.
We are eager to see the couple's wedding!

Equality between genders was an enormous matter of debate in 2017, each inside and out of doors the expertise trade.
As typical, there are a number of initiatives which are being constructed and put in place to make the tech trade extra various – however progress stays sluggish.
By submitting your private data, you agree that TechTarget and its partners could contact you relating to related content material, merchandise and particular presents.
The 12 months started with lots of the IT trade's biggest names showing within the Queen's 2017 honours listing.
Out of the tech entrepreneurs and pioneers featured, many have been girls, together with Maggie Philbin, co-founder and CEO of TeenTech and winner of Laptop Weekly's 2016 Most Influential Girl in IT award, and Debbie Forster, management group lead of variety initiative the Tech Talent Charter.
Early in 2017, it turned clear that gender parity within the expertise trade gained't occur with out assist from the lads who are sometimes in excessive up positions in corporations.
Analysis discovered that 36% of corporations within the UK nonetheless would not have any girls at board degree, and plenty of males stepped ahead to tell Computer Weekly why they think it is important for men like them to support the range agenda.
A dialogue between many consultants within the tech and training fields additionally urged that fathers are often not the problem when making an attempt to encourage younger women into tech, as they need their daughters to do effectively in no matter discipline they select.
Know-how is appearing as an enormous disruptor throughout many industries, however it is usually appearing to extend variety within the office.
As workplaces turn into extra various, corporations have to make their groups and places of work extra inclusive.
On the 2017 Everywoman Discussion board, numerous consultants mentioned how tech is impacting the world, and the way corporations are coping with this tempo of change amidst rising variety.
There are an increasing number of initiatives designed to extend variety within the tech trade, however many corporations nonetheless wrestle to retain various hires as soon as they've joined the organisation.
A lot of this comes all the way down to firm tradition, and analysis discovered most girls consider extra office flexibility, together with the chance for distant working, is vital to retention.
An absence of seen position fashions is cited as one of many the reason why many younger women don't select a profession in science, expertise, engineering and maths (Stem) as a result of it may be troublesome to think about your self in a job when there is no such thing as a one else doing it who seems to be such as you.
In 2017, analysis discovered that greater than 60% of ladies would love extra encouragement from girls already in technical roles comparable to coding or software program improvement.
This contains girls in all roles and levels in the tech industry, as it may be useful to see those that have not too long ago been by the identical levels of training as you, in addition to those that are additional forward of their profession.
On the 2017 Jisc Networkshop45 occasion, Anna Wilson, service desk supervisor for Irish analysis and training community HEAnet, defined how expertise groups could make the lives of communities of minority college students a lot simpler in the event that they make simply small adjustments to their improvement processes.
Wilson highlighted the truth that many minority teams at universities, comparable to transgendered college students hoping to alter their particulars, will be affected when compelled to reply questions on identify or gender due to the best way IT programs have been developed. This may very well be prevented with a bit of extra thought by expertise groups.
In April 2017, the federal government launched legal guidelines making it obligatory for employers with greater than 250 workers in any 12 months to publish figures together with the gender pay hole imply and median common of their organisation inside 12 months.
It's well-known that in most industries, together with the expertise trade, girls are paid lower than their male counterparts in the identical position.
FDM chief working officer Sheila Flavell stated gender pay reporting would contribute to attaining parity within the office.
In the direction of the top of the 12 months, accusations of sexual assault by the hands of Harvey Weinstein got here flooding out of Hollywood.
The 12 months additionally noticed a lady from Silicon Valley share her expertise of inappropriate sexual behaviour by a male entrepreneur.
Each incidents resulted in a whole bunch of different girls coming ahead to share their experiences of sexual assault and harassment, and the unhappy fact stays that no trade is free from such incidents.
Annually, Laptop Weekly showcases the 50 most influential girls in UK tech in an try and make position fashions within the trade seen to others and rejoice the achievements of ladies within the sector.

Alongside essentially the most influential girls in UK tech, Laptop Weekly additionally introduced the Rising Stars in the industry who're working their means in direction of the highest 50 listing, and girls who've earned their place in the Hall of Fame.
For the primary time, Computer Weekly published the longlist of nominations, showcasing all the ladies within the trade who have been nominated for a spot on the listing.
Because the 12 months drew to an in depth, Michael Keegan, chairman and head of product enterprise for Fujitsu in EMEIA, advised Laptop Weekly on the 2017 Fujitsu Discussion board that the explanation women to not select Stem topics is deeply rooted in society.
Many consider that to encourage extra women to look into tech careers, the trade should do extra to interrupt down stereotypes and change the way the tech industry is perceived by the outside world.


A few tips from the Careline now the cold weather has finally arrived…………especially for people newly diagnosed with diabetes (or newly arrived from warmer climates).
1. When your hands are cold you may find it difficult to get a good sample of blood (though remember with FreeStyle meters only a small drop is required).
If these suggestions don't help, you can always consider alternative site testing. This is not advised if you are 'hypo' unaware.
2. If you have ordered Control Solution (available free of charge upon request from the Careline) – please allow it to come up to room temperature before using – it may adversely affect the result otherwise.
3. MAKE SOUP! Using a selection from carrots, butternut squash, pumpkin, onions, parsnip or whatever takes your fancy – make a large batch and then take some to work or school for lunch in a wide topped flask – keeps you warm and helps you eat healthily! Our current favourite is roast butternut squash and red lentil from the September-October issue of Balance magazine.


Travelogues > Asia > China here we come!
As we travel along Alderman road we notice a huge banner saying 'GOOD LUCK IN CHINA DOUGIE'. Harry one of my work mates had got up early to place the message between two trees in the middle of a busy round about. What a great gesture. I have been really taken a back with the response from my friends .
have every thing. Too late now.
We arrive at Edinburgh Airport with plenty of time to spare. A quick goodbye and thank- you to Neil for the lift . Bang on time [11.00] we leave for Amsterdam. We have more than 50 in our party .All ages and fitness from all over Scotland and a few from further a field. At 13.30 we arrive in Amsterdam. Brings back memories of visiting there when I was touring Europe many years a go. Nae time to go Windmill Bagging as I have a plane to catch to China. We have all to line up in alphabetical order for the group visa which makes me get through departure fast. At 17.15 we fly off to Beijing .Here we go then. OFF TAE WALK THE WALL wae 57 strangers .By now were getting to know each other.
This takes about 2 hours and gives us our first look at China .I had been warned to expect the worse [WELCOME TO HELL] but I think it was a trick by the group leaders to ease us into Chinese accommodation actually loved every minute of our stay there.
It was build in a valley with the Great Wall on either side. Fantastic setting.
The people seem to be very poor in this area but very friendly. After that we end up having a small refreshment in Sandy and Malcolm`s room. [actually a right good piss up wae about twenty folk in a single room] Then it`s our first meal in China. No bad After dinner we have a quiz which my team does badly. Then off to bed.
into the valley. We take our time as this is a very steep staircase. We stop at the bottom for lunch. The lunch is basic [egg, nuts, and a double decker sanny] but it fills you up. Plenty of water. The weather is brilliant really hot for Autumn .In the afternoon David one of our tour leaders points to a red flag at the top of the other side of the valley. That`s our aim for the afternoon .Off we go .It is a lot harder than the morning but at the top the views are spectacular .Back to the hotel for dinner and a few beers .
young girl not much older than Yvonne my daughter .She looked very poor .I thought to myself I had paid £80 for a pair of Salomon Super grip Hiking boots and here she is walking the wall everyday in her plimsolls. She didn't speak much English but she did know the aproperate words .We were told if we chased our Shadow away another would turn up .So just go along with it as if it was part of the challenge. So I introduced my self to my Shadow. My name is Dougie I said what`s your name .She mumbled something . I christened her Fran as I was sure an Anna would turn up soon. She offered to carry my bag for me but I said I would buy a book of her at the end of the walk .I looked about I see that a lot of our group had taken up the offer of help and that everyperson had a shadow. Fran found it funny that my name was similar to a four legged animal which was probably part of her diet.
remote areas of the wall are fantastic; there are high ridges with both ruined and restored watchtowers, with some of the wall overgrown by vegetation and in it's natural un-repaired state. At Jinshanling the wall zigzags up inclines and straddles between peaks like a suspensionbridge, the staircases on the wall here can be very steep, especially at the Simatai end where there is an option to climb another 2 km furtherup steep stair cases.
over to greet me with hello hello. Here we go again .She walked close by offering to help at awkward parts of the wall . When I stopped she stopped when I walked she walked.
5.30 p m we walk back up to the Wall to watch the sun go down .There's music coming from one of the watchtowers .It's our group doing a bit ofhighland dancing. The Dashing White Sergeant is getting big licks.
Nothing I like better than standing on people's toes.
After dinner we have a bon fire and some Chinese firecrackers and swally some more beers .[Why not] Then it's off tae bed chinese crackered.
three km pre-walk I decide to take the optional hike up the side of the mountain.
This the hardest walking of the week.
We have to wait while our guides bargain with the local farmers to let us carry on their land.
Once on the wall we had an unobstructed view in both directions of its great length meandering along the mountain crests. In the afternoon we take the toboggan slide down to the market.
Where we are met by eager vendors. That night we stayed in Changping. We have dinner in the friendship store then it's back to the hotel for our Hallowe'en party.
haul up a staircase of some 1600 steps .This was quite hard walking up so many steps but the longer the week goes on the fitter you get.
and check out my information. We shake hands and we are off again.
Finally at the bottom Roy buy's us all a 'WALLS ICE CREAM'. Just what we needed. Back to the hotel to freshen up for our train trip down to Xian.
Then stop off at KFC for dinner. MAGIC. NAE CHOP STICKS.
had a look at the other classes and was pleased where we were staying.
lifts his jacket to show his pistol. We don't offer again.. Time to catch some sleep.
peasant villages. We pass the Weihe River and bamboo trees, which spread like a green blanket over the hillsides. We walk to the Zhongnan Mountain, a site famous in China as the place where Taoism originated.
We walk a further few km up to the top of the mountain (about 500m above sea level) where the views over the Shaanxi Plain are spectacular.
the thousands of life sized armoured soldiers and horses, it is believed that they were intended to serve as bodyguards for the ghost of Qin Shi Huangdi, the famous Yellow Emperor who first united China and reigned from 22 1-20 BC I shake the hand of the old farmer who discovered the Army . He was paid a few yuan for his land but is making more now signing autographs.
stall with a old man claiming he discovered the army. Back at the bus. I ask our CTS guide which one was the original? He laughs and shrugged his shoulders.
In the afternoon we do our walk along the city walls with the Aberlour banner. We travel back to our hotel by Taxis . I was in the front wae my fingers cross. At night we have our Gala dinner to celebrate our achievements.
sing which seems to bring the show to a finale.After the show we head out a bar along the road till the wee small hours.
PANDAS, 4 SPARRA`S AND A MAGPIE. Taxi for tie me doon square shouts Sandy. Tian`anmen Square is huge .Little prepares you for the experience of being in the square.
The ordinary Chinese were barred from entering. What a place.
A Quick head count and we're off. Next stop Starbuck cafe for a coffee stop .Strange being in China and hearing the Eagles record Hotel California playing. After that, Silk Alley for some serious shopping for gifts for the long suffering family at home. Taxi back to the hotel. A quick shower and out for dinner.
Seeing this is the last evening we go for a Peking Duck Banquet. Brilliant What a day.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP OVER THE LAST YEAR HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT HAVE BEEN ARRANGED TO HELP FUND ABERLOUR`S WORK WITH SCOTTISH KIDS.

Welcome to KivyPie build sources, which allow to run Kivy.org on the RaspberryPI.

The scripts detailed allow to take a pipaOS image and install the Kivy framework on it.
It should be straight forward to use a Raspbian too.

PipaOS is available at http://pipaos.mitako.eu/

The latest features on Kivy are [detailed here](http://kivy.org/planet/2015/04/kivy-1-9%C2%A0released/).

### Requirements and preparation

A Linux, i686 based system with `nbd` support in the kernel. Debian is tested to run smoothly.
Download [xsysroot](https://github.com/skarbat/xsysroot) somewhere on your path, and create a python symbolic link:

```
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skarbat/xsysroot/master/xsysroot > ~/bin/xsysroot
$ chmod +x ~/bin/xsysroot ; ln -s ~/bin/xsysroot ~/bin/xsysroot.py
```

Copy the file `xsysroot.conf` from this repo on your home directory, and download
the pipaOS image. This will allow xsysroot to prepare the image and install Kivy in it.

```
$ mkdir -p ~/osimages ~/xtmp
$ curl http://pipaos.mitako.eu/download/pipaos-3.3-wheezy.img.gz > ~/osimages/pipaos-3.3-wheezy.img.gz
```

Run `xsysroot -l`, it should display the profile `KivyPie`. Then, make sure you have additional system tools
available by running `xsysroot -t`. If it complains, install the suggested packages.

### Building KivyPie

The build process is separated in 3 stages.

 * `build-kivypie.py` is responsible for preparing the OS, install Kivy, and give you a bootable image
 * `install-kivy.sh` The KivyPie build and installation script
 * `debian_kivypie.py` Extracts Kivy runtime into debian packages for Python 2 and 3.

Execute `build.sh` to build KivyPie from scratch. Follow the progress via the logfile with `tail -f build.log`.

You could actually run `install-kivy.sh` directly on the RaspberryPI and it should install Kivy as well.
Make sure you do `sudo umount /tmp` to use the full sd card available space to build all sources.

The latest version of KivyPie and additional info can be found at http://kivypie.mitako.eu

###Build debian packages

You can regenerate debian packages manually from the host, as below:

```
$ xsysroot -p kivypie -m
$ python debian_kivypie.py $(xsysroot -q sysroot)
```

Packages will be available inside the `pkgs` folder.

Enjoy!

Organico Cafe is located at 3 Glengarriff Rd, Bantry, Co Cork and we are open Monday to Saturday 9am to 6pm (Closed Sundays and Bank Holidays). Call us on 027 55905.
You'll find our lovely cafe tucked away in Bantry, amidst the bay's beautiful views and refreshing, salty air. We look forward to welcoming you into our little nook in this West Cork community — we bet you'll fall in love with it just as we have.
In the cafe, there's plenty of space for you to relax. That's just as true if you're meeting a large group for lunch or you're slipping in on your own for an afternoon breather. We've looked after the kids as well with a special play area upstairs, equipped with toys and play mats.
Our menu is filled with delicious food that just happens to be healthy. Since we source most of our ingredients from local food producers, our menu is always seasonal and mostly organic.
We specialise in vegetarian and vegan food, but we have something to satisfy everyone, omnivores included. Our kitchens are busy each day, freshly preparing the meals that get you through your day — breakfast, lunch, snacktime, afternoon treat, early dinner or a take-away meal.
For us, healthy food means vibrant colours, interesting textures, seasonal flavours and delicious ingredients that just happen to nourish as much as they delight.
Take our salads, for example: they're bursting with the season's best fruit and vegetables, hearty beans, grains, nuts, seeds and nutrient-packed sea vegetables. They're celebrations of gorgeous, fresh produce rich in taste and colour. And we bring this flair to our entire menu of soups, stews, sandwiches, wraps, veggie burgers, and hot dishes.
The bread we serve is made here in our bakery. So are the cakes and desserts that fill our counter. Many of these are made with alternative flours and natural sweeteners.
Our drinks menu includes organic wine, a vast selection of teas, organic and cold-pressed juices and green smoothies, specialty hot chocolates and lattes, and organic coffee. Our coffee beans are selected and roasted just for us by Red Strand Coffee in Clonakilty.
We see Organico Cafe as more than just a place to eat — it's also a space for you to become part of a community. We love watching this community take shape as people come together for the events we host throughout the year: art openings and exhibitions, cooking classes, wine tastings, literature readings, discussions about raising children, workshops on environmentally aware living — just to name a few.
No matter what you come in for — a restorative drink, a quick bite or a leisurely meal — we look forward to sharing with you the bounties of community and good food which are at the heart of Organico Cafe.

Kovotepectví je umělecké řemeslo, které se zabývá ručním tvářením ušlechtilých kovů nebo jejich slitin, většinou za studena. Základními kovotepeckými řemesly bylo mědikovectví, resp. kotlářství, mosaznictví, platnéřství (a další přidružená řemesla zbroje), pasířství, která předpokládala tepání slitin mědi, slitin cínu, olova a železa. S vynálezem mechanického ražení se rozšířilo také kovotlačitelství.

Mezi nejrozšířenější výrobky patřily v nejstarších dobách kuchyňské a stolní nádoby, také oděvní spony. Dále to bylo obřadní nádobí a náčiní, votivní a liturgické předměty, galanterie, kovové ozdoby, zvané cetky, někdy také sochy v životním měřítku. Mezi příbuzná řemesla řadíme kovolitectví, jež bývalo s kovotepectvím často na jednom předmětu spojeno, například v dinanderiích z oblasti povodí řeky Maasy (z Dinantu), dále klempířství; technicky analogické, ale organizačně samostatné bylo zlatnictví a stříbrnictví, protože drahé kovy a jejich slitiny o ryzosti vyšší než 500/1000 vždy podléhaly zvláštní kontrole a dozoru státu či města. V určitých historických obdobích vyvolala poptávka po nějakém zboží specializaci řemesla, jako byli například lampáři nebo svícníci v 16.-18. století.

Pracovní postupy
Základním materiálem je měkký a tažný plech o síle 0,3-2 mm (měděný, tombakový, mosazný, niklový, železný, (výjimečně stříbrný nebo zlatý). Nejsilnější plech užívali platnéři na zbroj. Z plechu se vystřihne žádoucí tvar, který se pak zpracovává vyleštěnými tvarovými kladivy, a to jednak zvenčí budoucí nádoby ("stahování"), jednak zevnitř proti ploché desce ("planýrování"). Stahování kruhových nádob postupuje ve spirále od kraje ke středu a materiál se často žíhá, aby byl kujnější. Větší nádoby se dělají z několika částí, které se nakonec snýtují nebo svaří. Konečné zdobení a cizelování se dělá pomocí tvarových dlátek či čakanů většinou zvenčí, při náročné technice repoussé se vytepává zevnitř. V moderní době se ruční tváření často nahrazuje kovotlačitelskou technikou nebo lisováním, hotový výrobek se nakonec zvenčí poklepe kladivem ("martlování").

Ploché ozdoby, kování na knižní vazby a podobně se tepou přilepené na smole, nejprve zhruba zespodu, pak se obráběný kus obrátí, vyplní smolou a dokončuje svrchu ciselováním, případně rytím a leštěním.

Velké sochy se tepají po částech, nýtují, svařují a často montují na ocelové výztuže nebo nasazují na zděné jádro. Tak je vyrobena například Socha svobody v New Yorku z měděného plechu o síle 2,4 mm.

Historie

Kovotepectví patří mezi nejstarší kovozpracující řemesla. Objevuje se již v pravěku, nejméně 6000 let před naším letopočtem, nejstarší fragmenty patří kuchyňským nádobám, většinou kotlům či kotlíkům, ale také sponám z oděvů a zbraním. Ze starověku pocházejí většinou luxusní zlaté nebo měděné předměty z Řecka a z Egypta, (většinou patří do oboru zlatnictví). Početná a vynikající kovotepecká díla vznikala od raného středověku, kdy byl měděný plech základem liturgického a votivního nádobí a náčiní, zdobeného emailem, často exportovaná z Limoges. Liturgické předměty, kalichy a relikviáře měly být podle církevních předpisů zhotovovány především z drahých kovů, ale existuje množství tepaných z měděného nebo mosazného plechu, zlaceného v ohni. V 19. století byla zavedena výroba ze slitin niklu, pozinkovaného plechu a z hliníku.

Většinu historických kovotepeckých děl až do poloviny 19. století zhotovovali kovotepci specializovaných oborů: konváři, kotláři, mědikovci a pasíři. Jejich sortiment tvořily běžné kovové nádoby, kotle, hrnce, pánve, pekáče, pečicí formy, poháry, lampy, svícny, kovová galanterie, opasky, šperky z obecných kovů (tedy kovová bižuterie), plechové hračky a další. Od poloviny 19. století je začaly nahrazovat nejprve kovotlačitelské, později lisované průmyslové výrobky, takže kovotepectví se do současnosti  zachovalo většinou jako umělecké řemeslo.

Class 3 High-Visibility Apparel
What Does Class 3 High-Visibility Apparel Mean?
Safeopedia Explains Class 3 High-Visibility Apparel
Class 3 high-visibility apparel refers to apparel that falls within a category of safety clothing that provides increased visibility for the wearer in both daytime and nighttime environments. This increase in visibility is achieved through the use of background material that has bright, high-visibility coloring (e.g. fluorescent yellow, green, or orange fabric), as well as through the use of retroreflective strips. Class 3 apparel includes items such as jackets or high-visibility clothing ensembles, such as a Class 2 vest combined with Class E pants.
Apparel classified as Class 3 must meet specific design standards to provide workers with enough increased visibility to allow them to work safely on roadways. Workers who make use of Class 3 apparel include but are not limited to roadway construction workers and crossing guards. When used correctly, Class 3 apparel is recognized by OSHA and the Federal Highway Safety Administration (FHSA) as a way for employers and employees to meet the minimum worker visibility obligations necessary to comply with relevant safe workplace regulations.
The visibility criteria that Class 3 high-visibility apparel must meet are governed by ANSI/ISEA standard 107-2015, which describes a number of criteria for different types of high-visibility apparel. The two other primary apparel performance classes are Class 1 and Class 2. Class 3 apparel provides a higher level of visibility than Class 1 and Class 2, and it is necessary for use in roadway situations that are high-hazard or where danger is increased due to particularly low visibility (e.g. due to rainfall).
Under the ANSI/ISEA standard, Class 3 apparel may be classified as either Type R or Type P apparel. Type R apparel is suitable for workers doing routine work in roadway situations. Type P apparel is used by public safety workers such as emergency responders, firefighters, and other acute incident response personnel whose duties may make it practical for them to wear apparel that cannot fit within the Type R classification. A Class 3 rating for apparel may also be achieved by combining Class 2 apparel (e.g. a Class 2 vest) with supplemental Class E apparel (e.g. high-visibility pants).
The ANSI standard distinguishes Type R and Type P Class 3 apparel based on the amount of background material required to offset the visibility-increasing material (e.g. the reflective material). Type R apparel must have 1,240 square inches of background fabric, while Type P apparel only requires 775 square inches of background fabric.

Special Coverage Provincial Election Wolseley
Eddie Hendrickson: No Comment
Elizabeth Hildebrand: I believe Manitobans will receive better care, faster. The government is continuing to invest money for improvements to the system that required an overhaul.
Shandi Strong: Our healthcare system has been thrown into chaos. Many of the changes might work in our favour from a fiscal point of view. But people have died or been made to suffer because of them. It was not the right move to make without having proper well-planned procedures in place. Those decisions should have been made with the support of the communities they serve.
David Nickarz: If any changes are needed to our health care system they should have been done much slower and with meaningful consultation with front line workers. In Wolseley there is almost universal support to reopen the Misericordia Urgent Care facility, not only because it serves residents of Wolseley but it is central to the inner city and would serve our growing homeless population.
NDP Lisa Naylor
Elizabeth Hildebrand: Some oversight because they are a crown corporation, however, they should be governed by an appropriate board that oversees the operations. The government should not be allowed to use the crown corporations as their 'atm's'.
Shandi Strong: In order to be fair and keep rates affordable, these corporations should be guided by the provincial government to provide their services in the best interests of its citizens.
David Nickarz: There must be a change in the mandate of Manitoba Hydro from a company that just sells energy to one that enables homes and businesses to produce solar energy, and sell it at a fair price. Also, Manitoba Hydro should remain a crown corporation with an independent board, free from political interference.
Elizabeth Hildebrand: Why should our children have to pay for our debts? With having to pay a billion dollars in interest, that leaves that much LESS money for healthcare, education and infrastructure.
Shandi Strong: While balancing the books is important, the cuts made have largely affected the poor, elderly and disabled. We are judged by how we treat those who are less fortunate than ourselves, and it should be our responsibility to provide services to help them, not to separate them from society. Our legacy must be one of compassion, with an economy built to support everyone who is part of it.
David Nickarz: Living within our economic means is a similar concept to living within our ecological means. While balanced budgets are important, we must be able to borrow to invest in the future. We also must ask who benefits from borrowed money? If we had a bank of Manitoba, then we could run deficits, paying interest to a local bank instead of banks located outside our province and country.
Elizabeth Hildebrand: It goes back to balancing our budget. If Manitoba did not have to pay as much interest for our deficit, it would allow for more money to be spent on roads.
Shandi Strong: Considering the remoteness of many communities in Manitoba, greater efforts must be made to connect them, not only with roads, but with rails, and internet services. Poverty and many other social issues run rampant in so many communities without access to things that we in the city take for granted. Not only that, but better highways contribute to more efficient, less costly and less polluting was to move our goods and people.
David Nickarz: Like with any budget line item, I would want to review the information available, the costs and the need, and make an informed decision about how much to spend. The Green Party places an emphasis on a robust public transit infrastructure, car sharing, and active transportation corridors, all of which would over time increase the lifespan of our roadways.
Elizabeth Hildebrand: There is no safe injection site.
Shandi Strong: These have been proven to work. When an addict is ready to kick their habit they need immediate assistance and ongoing support. Sadly our current system involves months-long waits, during which addicts return to their habits and the triggers that caused the addiction in the first place. Needles in the streets and playgrounds in the community are evidence that current systems do not work. Compassion is needed for our fellow human beings. We must learn about the benefits of these services and allow them where needed. If we don't have them, people who use may very well be in someone's own back yard.
David Nickarz: In the neighbourhood that I live in and love, there are several unsafe injection sites. A safe injection site would provide compassion for people in active addiction and reduce harm. A Housing First model and poverty reduction measures like a minimum income would help as well.
Elizabeth Hildebrand: No Comment
Shandi Strong: Climate change is one of the issues that will define us as a species going forward. Every day we see so many people here doing their part to live greener, by recycling, buying locally, composting, walking, biking and everything else that we associate with saving our planet and setting a good example for others. The Manitoba Liberals Green Growth and Renewal plan is just that, an example for others. We want to make Manitoba a leader in clean energy by looking at government investment and policy through a green lens We will use a greenhouse gas emissions based analysis to assess how government actions affect overall carbon emissions. We want to promote Manitoba technology and grow our economy to become a world leader in clean energy. Did you know that right here in Manitoba the technology exists to turn waste oil into diesel fuel? Other Canadian companies have developed technology that can pull carbon from the air and make fuel for aircraft, trucks and machinery. But the one I am most excited about is a process for making liquid and gas fuels from municipal waste. Fuels that we can use in our existing cars, without retrofits. That's two birds with one stone. Here in Manitoba, we currently have an overabundance of Hydro Electricity, that we can use ourselves and sell to our neighbours, to help them be greener, and keep our hydro rates low and affordable. We can work with nature to reverse pollution. How you ask? By increasing wilderness and restoring the boreal forests by 50,000 hectares by 2030. This natural wilderness will not only filter our air but provide for habitats for wildlife to live, eat and replenish their own numbers. We will work with farmers and First Nations as stewards of the land to invest in forests, expand wetlands and encourage innovative agricultural techniques to grow the food that feeds us and that we export to the rest of the world. Harnessing the power of agriculture to fight climate change. We need to work with the city and the federal government to treat and restore Lake Winnipeg and to build the new sewage treatment plant and use whatever nature and technology we can to save our lake. But this is just the start. We can become carbon neutral by 2030 by creating new urban forests and wilderness with rooftop gardens and incentives to plant trees in cities; create the infrastructure for new electric charging stations; and pave the way to reduce the purchases of non-hybrid gas-powered vehicles; innovations for the trucking industry; public transportation; and the diverting of organic waste from methane-producing landfills. We can do this, without it being a financial burden on Manitobans. Balanced incentives, a renegotiated carbon tax, good jobs and economic growth all play a part in our success. It's bold and achievable, and when we succeed the world will take notice and together humans can save our planet, our home. As the young children who protest on the steps of the legislature shout at each rally, "There is no Planet B". We must work together as a species, to mitigate the damage we have done as a species otherwise, our lives, our children's lives, will forever change dramatically in the coming years.
David Nickarz: It was important for the government to take concrete action to address climate change decades ago. Now, it's become a climate crisis. Only the Green Party has taken leadership on this issue.
Shandi Strong: Nobody wants more taxes. But nobody wants our planet to die. It cost us all money to pollute our world, and it will cost us all money to clean it up. It's our responsibility. When I was a kid, everything was recycled, jars, pop bottles, clothes, everything. My parents' parents were part of the great depression and used everything and saved everything. Whereas our society since the inventions of disposable pens, diapers, plastic bottles and the like has become a society of waste and damage. We as consumers are the ones feeling the brunt of the responsibility for recycling, costs, and effects. The manufacturers who have forced this upon us over the past several decades by converting us from a society who reused and recycled instinctively to a society where everything has become disposable and replaceable and therefore have had a massive effect on the environment in terms of landfill, greenhouse gasses, and carbon footprint. Every day we are forced to make choices about the products and foods we purchase and whether or not those products support a greener way forward. The manufacturers of disposable products have made huge profits over the past several decades, it's time they contributed to saving the planet rather than placing the cost and responsibility strictly on the end-user and municipalities. Reversing climate change will be expensive and forcing the consumers to bear the responsibility and costs is insufficient and unfair. Manufacturers and consumers alike must be educated as to the necessity and cooperation between them, the city, the province and the country, including import policies to make this work, and enable this to grow and eventually work worldwide.
David Nickarz: A carbon tax that starts at $50.00 per tonne and grows $10.00 per year would send a clear signal to the overall market to move towards energy efficiency and alternative sources of energy for transportation, heating and agriculture. The Green Party carbon tax will also be used to help pay for green infrastructure and help pay for our Basic Income plan. A carbon tax alone isn't enough to change our course. We have to rethink our entire economy and change the way we produce, transport and use energy.
Shandi Strong: Tax cuts are like coupons. You have to have money in order to take advantage of the savings. for most Manitobans without money, the tax cuts mean very little, and I don't feel that I have every really benefitted from one with my income level. Public services are of significant importance to everyone.
David Nickarz: The fiscally responsible approach is to pool our purchasing power for the common good, which will often put more money in your pocket at the end of the day anyway. This is an essential function of government. If this was not true, the government would not be in the business of building schools, hospitals, roads and all of the other services that are free for us all to make use of.
Shandi Strong: It's often said that "Children are our future". Without an education that prepares them for our ever-changing fast-paced higher-tech world the distances between the poor and the rich will continue to expand. Post-secondary education is now a necessity, and K-12 is where the young minds are shaped and inspired. Without input from school boards based on the needs of their students, many students, especially those with learning or other disabilities risk leaving the K-12 system disadvantaged, especially in non-wealthy neighbourhoods.
David Nickarz: School boards have been a major influence in some of the most significant developments in local education programming and initiatives. Without school boards and local education leaders many of these initiatives would have not been able to be implemented as provincial funding tends to be very limited. Even though we would move school funding off property tax and to income tax, our policies call for deliberate partnerships for collaborative initiatives (childcare programming, cultural diversity initiatives, and in-school tutoring).
Shandi Strong: There is no such thing as a perfect person, never mind a perfect politician. We are all human, and we have all done things that we are probably not proud of at points in our lives. If it has been demonstrated that a candidate has learned from their past mistakes that's great. But if there are still people who refuse to change their ways, that is a cause for concern.
David Nickarz: It up to the voters to decide what's important in the candidate's personal history, before they entered politics.

Healthcare. We all know that our healthcare system needs major improvements. For years there has been a lot of talk about improving healthcare and very little action. Same formulas equal same results. I support healthcare changes for better results. I would keep the government accountable for changes that will improve the system, realizing that change is difficult.
To have and be a voice at the table for a better Manitoba. Better healthcare, better education, better stewardship of our resources.
A couple of things voters might find surprising is that growing up in a family of 7 children, we learned the value of work, hand-me-downs and at times only having 'enough'. During my first years of living on my own, I worked and lived in downtown Winnipeg. I would frequently ride my bike through the Wolseley neighborhood enjoying this very unique community within this larger community of Winnipeg.

In the 2016 provincial election, I became the first openly transgender person in western Canada to run for public office. My many appearances in public and the media regarding transgender issues arguably make me the most well-known transgender person in Winnipeg. The many struggles and profound decisions I've faced have imparted a new-found level of confidence and personal strength, allowing me to find my voice and work to make a difference for others in the world through advocacy in the field of human rights. Since the 2016 Provincial election I have remained active in politics working as the constituency assistant to Dr. Jon Gerrard, MLA for River Heights, who has held the seat for 20 years, and is one of the most respected political figures in the country. I also worked alongside MLA's Cindy Lamoureaux, Judy Klassen and leader Dougald Lamont, and other members of the Manitoba Liberal Caucus. I maintain a profile in local media speaking on Transgender related issues, and enjoy speaking to groups, schools and organizations about my personal journey in an effort to foster understanding and raise awareness on Transgender issues. In 2015 I was honoured as the first ever Transgender Grand Marshall of Winnipeg's Pride Parade for my work in the community. In 2016 received the "Trailblazer" award from the Manitoba LGBT* Chamber of Commerce. I sit on the executive of Manitobans for Human Rights Inc. a group focused on Human Rights education and awareness, with the goal of having Winnipeg designated a Human Rights City. I have also sat on the governance board of Pride Winnipeg and served as Advocacy coordinator, and serve as secretary for the Manitoba Liberal Women's Commission. I am driven to make a difference. Working in the legislature these past three years has given my drive to make a difference substance, and focus. With this experience, I have never been more ready to take on the role of an MLA. I believe that the Manitoba Liberal party is the choice, the alternative to the PC's and NDP. Manitobans need to know that there is another choice for them, a thoughtful choice that will balance social and fiscal responsibilities while investing our way out of debt without balancing the books on the backs of the most vulnerable in our society. Every decision I make will be viewed with a lens focused on human rights. Including standing firmly behind a bold and achievable green plan that could put Manitoba on the map as a world leader in reversing the effects of climate change.

Meth and crime is a topic that we discuss at the doors every single evening that we are out canvassing. Meth and meth related crime are everywhere in Winnipeg, but in Wolseley people report daily of property being stolen, cars rummaged, and needles found in parks and yards. The wonderful people who do the weekly Wolseley walks and the Bear Clan in West Broadway do a great job of finding needles and cleaning up the streets. But still the people I have talked to are worried, in some cases scared, about the effects that this is having in their neighbourhood. We need to address the many aspects of why people take meth. There are many social and mental health related reasons someone starts to use it. For example, I met a young woman last fall while walking with the Bear Clan in the North End, who was 6 months clean, but had taken it so that she could stay awake and not be raped or have her belongings taken. She's doing much better now, and could not have gotten clean if not for the support of her community and the Bear Clan. Trauma and poverty are only two reasons people can become addicted. Manitoba Liberals want to address this issue with three policies that will help. We will use the proceeds from legal cannabis to fund education for prevention and treatment and support for those addicted. Instead of putting it into general revenue. A guaranteed basic income to help families with their basic needs far better than our existing and broken EIA systems, helping them make better choices for their foods, heath, and lifestyles, thus reducing impacts on our police and healthcare services, and reducing the stress that could lead to addiction. This is a very important to me personally, as it affects many people I know, and five years ago I relied on EIA to get by. Our EIA and EI systems are outdated and flawed, there have been no increases since 1986 even to the rate of inflation. It's demeaning, and stigmatizing and forces people into challenging circumstances and is often time impossible to get off of, which only deepens the stereotyping. They are unfair to anyone who needs the system to survive, especially if one is disabled, in poor health, has mental health struggles, is Indigenous, or 2SLGBTQ. And perhaps most importantly provide basic mental heath coverage under Medicare so that those who need help and support get it before turning to drugs or other addictions. We will lift up the people who need it, and help them, and in the process help us all become better friends, neighbours and citizens. My job for the past three years, has been working for Dr. Jon Gerrard, the MLA for River Heights. We have met and advocated for so many people affected by addictions, mental health, and the CFS system. Which is why I am so proud that we have polices like these that are so focused on people. We all need to live our lives in dignity, without the burdens and stresses created by unnecessary and uncaring cuts to programs. The budget should not be balanced on vulnerable people. Our system should exist to help them have the best quality of life possible by providing them support and empowerment through these programs, so that they can live, work and share in everything our province has to offer.
For much of my life as a parent, manager, community leader and activist, I have wanted to make a difference. When I was younger politics was never something I saw for myself. Over the past decade I had become a community activist and had come to realize that in spite of the good work and awareness being raised by advocates and community groups, change seemed slow. Just before the 2016 election, I was inspired to step up and volunteer. I met with the then leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party to see how I could help. During the interview, I would "get up on my verbal soapbox", as I like to call it, and speak about issues that I was passionate about. I was told twice during that interview that I, "need to run for office." And finally, "Your people need you to." That struck a chord. I shortly went to work becoming a candidate. And that changed my life. Not long after the election I got the best job ever as the constituency assistant to Dr. Jon Gerrard, where I have learned, hands-on, more about the role of an MLA, and worked side by side with him to advocate for people who need help. We have helped save lives, raise awareness for injustices and made real differences in many lives for people who have faced so many difficulties. It is so very rewarding. Every day I felt like an MLA in training. I, am no stranger to change. Aside from what's been in the papers when I advocate for my community, I have had more than my fair share in the past decade. And you know what, I survived. Manitobans need change. We need to convince them during this campaign that change is necessary away from the only choices they thought they had, to a choice that they can make for the better. My choices at one point in my life about nine years ago seemed very limited. But thanks to someone saying the right thing to me at the right time, I was able to make a better choice, and be here today to help make a difference in the lives of my community and friends.
For Manitoba's 150th, I think it will be an excellent opportunity to raise more awareness of our history as a province. An honest history where we can educate people about our time here as settlers, real stories about indigenous peoples and our treaties, plus the histories of all of the people from the many cultures who have come to settle here and call Manitoba home. It's important to look at the history of the province from many perspectives.
I was once very withdrawn and had a pretty solid wall between myself and most people. Since those days, I have become pretty extroverted and adventurous. I love to play guitar on stage and have skydived twice. But within all of that I have a strong sense of empathy, based on what I have experienced in my life and I always do my best to look at situations from other peoples' perspectives, put myself in their shoes, so that I can listen and help more effectively.

The biggest threat facing Wolseley and every community in the world is the climate crisis. The climate crisis is not only an existential threat to life on the planet, it also undermines every facet of modern life. I would address it by strongly advocating for climate action, green jobs and transforming our economy. We also have to change everything about how we produce, transport and use energy.
A growing number of people share my concern for our planet and none of the other parties provide any solutions. I've never felt represented in the political system. That's why I'm running for the Green Party of Manitoba.

Palestinian Prisoner Payouts: Humane Or Pure Hypocrisy?
The PLO gives monthly allowances to the families of Palestinians detained in Israeli jails. The Israeli and U.S. governments want the practice to stop.

RAMALLAH — Muhannas' tough-looking teenage face is just one among the many portraits of men, some young and others not so young, pasted on the walls of the Qalandiya refugee camp. Some of those portrayed are dead — around here, people call them "martyrs." The posters made in their memory represent them either weapon-in-hand or posing in front of the golden dome of the al-Aqsa mosque. Others are rotting away in an Israeli jail, some for a very long time.
Muhannas is one of them. He was seized by Israeli soldiers on Jan. 14, 2004 in the late days of the Second Intifada. Just 16 at the time, he was sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment for having fired shots at several Israeli soldiers. For this feat of arms, he's celebrated here as a "freedom fighter."
Each month, his family, like those of dozens of other detainees from this refugee camp in southern Ramallah, receives money from the Palestine Liberation Organization. The sum varies, depending on the time spent behind bars and on the number of children supported by the prisoner. For Muhannas, his family has been given a total of 6,000 shekels (about $1,700). Part of that money is directly transferred to his detention center to cover his needs.
The rest, we're told, helps his parents make ends meet. Palestinians describe these allowances as social benefit aimed at compensating the absence of men of working age. Israeli leaders, meanwhile, have denounced it as "an unacceptable reward granted to perpetrators of acts of terrorism."
It's an old controversy, reignited a few months ago by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government. "How can you speak about peace with Israel and at the same time pay murderers who spill the blood of innocent Israelis?" Netanyahu told Palestinian officials in May, demanding that they stop paying these allowances.
Since then, Washington, which is trying to reopen negotiations between both sides, has joined Israel in its demands. "President Trump raised his concerns about payments to Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails who have committed terrorist acts, and to their families, and emphasized the need to resolve this issue," reads a White House statement issued May 3, just after Donald Trump's first meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
"Political suicide"
A visit through the winding back alleys of the Qalandiya refugee camp is enough to assess just how sensitive the issue is. Close to 10,000 Palestinians, most of them from families who fled their homes in 1948, are crammed there in patent destitution. The people in charge say that some 270 prisoners and about 80 "martyrs' come from the camp. For a large number of families, the money paid by the Palestine Liberation Organization is the only source of income.
"Nobody has the right to cancel these allowances," Muhannas' father says. He predicts "a general outburst" if Palestinian officials give in to American pressure. "Our prisoners didn't act in their own interest but for the sake of their homeland," he says, his voice rising in anger.
"Yielding to U.S. demands would be political suicide for Mahmoud Abbas," admits Qadura Fares, head of the Prisoners' Club. Fares says that about 40,000 West Bank families receive this aid. "We're not asking the Israelis to stop paying the pensions of air force pilots whose strikes killed Palestinian civilians," he adds. Fares says the Netanyahu government is using the issue to divert attention away from Israel's continuing colonization.
Yossi Kuperwasser, a reserve general who is also a researcher associated with a think tank close to Israel's right-wing parties, disagrees. He says Palestinian leaders are showing duplicity by perpetuating a practice that, in his view, is an "incitement to violence."
Don't you think that I wouldn't prefer it a hundred times having him here next to me rather than getting this money every month?
"In 2016 alone, the Palestinian authorities spent $300 million, 7% of their budget, on the salaries of "martyrs' and prisoners," he says. "This situation is all the more problematic given that a large share of these resources come from the international community. But most of these donors turn a blind eye, fearing that their calling it into question might eventually radicalize Palestinian society..."
In the modest living room inside Mahannas' family home, where a picture of the young man in a prison uniform takes center stage, his father tells a different story. "Do you really think our children are attacking the occupiers for a few thousand shekels? And don't you think that I wouldn't prefer it a hundred times having him here next to me rather than getting this money every month?"
Mahannas' brother, himself a former prisoner affiliated with the Fatah, adds to the conversation. "The Israelis know very well that President Abbas cannot do what they ask," he says. "The only thing they want is to make him look responsible for the impasse in negotations."
