    Commentary By Jeffrey Rowe, Editor

    We just returned from the introduction of these workstations in California. As a matter of fact they were actually introduced at two Hollywood studios - Raleigh Studios (today, the oldest movie studio still operating) and Dreamworks Animation. Over the course of the two-day event, HP introduced several desktop and mobile workstations that were well-suited to demanding computational tasks, such as MCAD and animation.

    During the event, HP discussed some interesting market statistics, including:
  • HP has just surpassed Dell in terms of overall workstation market share (42.4% vs. 42%)
  • HP is the #1 workstation in terms of market share for engineering and MCAD applications
  • Although desktop workstations still outsell mobile workstations by a 3:1 ratio, there is a definite and continuing trend toward mobility.
    Below are some of the new computing platforms that we saw up close and personal.

    With a starting price rivaling those of traditional desktop computers, the HP Z200 SFF breaks new ground with a space-saving design that is almost two-thirds smaller than the Z200 minitower workstation. The HP Z200 SFF offers dual-core processor options based on the new Intel Core i3 and i5 series, as well as quad-core processor options based on the enterprise-class Intel Xeon 3400 series.

    All of the major subsystems (power supply, RAM, hard drive, etc.) in the HP Z200 SFF Workstation are user accessible and replaceable.

    The HP Z200 SFF supports up to 16 GB of ECC memory and up to 2 terabytes (TB) of high-speed storage. It also includes professional 2D and 3D graphics options. In addition, the HP Z200 SFF is designed for ease of use and serviceability - with a tool-less chassis, convenient USB ports located on the front of the system and a FireWire 1394a card option.

    The HP Z200 SFF Workstation includes an 89 percent efficient power supply, has ENERGY STAR 5.0 qualified configurations and is registered as Electronics Products Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) Gold, the highest rating available.

    For multithreaded workstation applications such as engineering, 3D digital content creation, and science, HP Z Workstations with the new Intel Xeon Processor 5600 series offer up to 12 cores with integrated memory controllers, Intel Turbo Boost Technology and Intel Hyper-Threading Technology. Available on the HP Z800, Z600 and Z400 workstations, the new processors allow for up to 24 threads to run at one time when using two 6-core processors with Hyper-Threading turned on.

    The HP Z Workstations offer a variety of options for diverse needs, including:
  • The HP Z800 offers the latest Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 series processors, providing up to 12 processing cores, up to 192 GB of ECC memory, up to 10 TB of high-speed storage and up to dual NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800 graphics.
  • The HP Z600 also offers Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 series processors with up to 12 processing cores. It additionally provides up to 48 GB of ECC memory, up to 6 TB of high-speed storage, and professional 2-D and 3-D graphics up to NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 or dual NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800 graphics.
  • The HP Z400 offers up to six processing cores using the latest Intel Xeon 3500 series processors, providing up to 24 GB of ECC memory, up to 8 TB of highspeed storage and up to NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 or dual NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800 graphics.
    HP is dramatically reducing the environmental impact of its products. For example, the HP Z Workstation line includes the exclusive HP WattSaver feature that manages power in the off state at less than one watt. In addition, HP Z Workstations include at least 85 percent efficient power supplies - 89 percent efficient power supply on the HP Z200 and HP Z200 SFF and as an option on the HP Z800 - reducing both overall energy usage and the amount of waste heat released. The HP Z line offers ENERGY STAR 5.0 qualified configurations. All HP Z Workstations are more than 90 percent recyclable by weight and are registered as EPEAT Gold.

    The HP EliteBook 8740w Mobile Workstation offers ISV-certified workstation-class performance in a mobile package. Featuring a 17-inch diagonal display, a range of Intel processors including Core i7 Extreme Edition, and support for up to 16 GB of memory, the 8740w can meet the needs of the most demanding applications.

    The inclusion of USB 3.0 provides increased bandwidth and performance, while an optional backlit keyboard is offered for the first time on an HP EliteBook. The DreamColor display option enables professionals to work with deep, accurate colors for precise results. Able to display more than 1 billion active colors - 64 times the capabilities of a traditional display - the 8740w utilizes a 30-bit notebook LCD panel to provide a level of color control previously found only on the desktop HP DreamColor LP2480 Professional Display.

    The HP mobile display assistant and optional HP color calibration kit further allow control, adjustment and alignment of the DreamColor notebook display to ensure predictable color. Workstation-class graphics solutions maximize onscreen performance. The 8740w offers a choice of the ATI FirePro M7820 with 1 GB of GDDR5 video memory or the NVIDIA Quadro FX 2800M or NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800M - both with 1 GB GDDR3 video memory. Users selecting the ATI FirePro configuration benefit from Direct X 11 and multidisplay support. Through a single GPU, the mobile workstation can simultaneously support up to four independent display outputs, plus the native
    notebook panel, for a total of five displays.

Lawrence’s recycling rate increases

April 23, 2005

LAWRENCE RESIDENT BOB SWAN recycles some cardboard and old cans at the Wal-Mart recycling center, 3300 Iowa.

LAWRENCE RESIDENT BOB SWAN recycles some cardboard and old cans at the Wal-Mart recycling center, 3300 Iowa.

It's a dirty job, and nobody has to do it.

But this is exactly why Lawrence resident Ian Carrillo does.

With the green container in front of him now nearly three-quarters full of glass, plastic and aluminum, Carrillo digs deep into the sticky mess, separating the materials at the Wal-Mart recycling center not because he has to - but because he can.

A cook at Milton's, Carrillo recently placed the bin in the back room, telling his co-workers to put any and all recyclables inside. So far, he said, the results have been worth it.

"It's picked up a bit over the last month," Carrillo said. "I'm pretty happy about it."

Carrillo is one of many residents doing their part to recycle in the Lawrence community.

In fact, the Lawrence area has fared so well that it posted the highest recycling rate in the state last year with 34 percent of the waste generated being diverted from landfill, according to a study by the city's Solid Waste Division.

"You don't achieve the type of numbers we have in our community without people who want to do the right thing," said Mollie Mangerich, operations supervisor at Lawrence's Waste Reduction and Recycling Division. "I think we are very fortunate to have that sort of ethic within our community."

Mangerich and the city have put together new programs in recent years that continue to grow. The city now has 11 newspaper drop-off locations - the number has increased each of the last three years - and seven places where cardboard is taken.

  • Checkers, 2300 La.
  • Dillons, Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive
  • Hillcrest Shopping Center, Ninth Street and Centennial Drive
  • Hobby Lobby, 1801 W. 23rd St.
  • Hy-Vee Store, Clinton Parkway and Kasold Drive
  • Hy-Vee Store, Sixth Street and Monterey Way
  • North Lawrence, 740 N. Second St.
  • Prairie Park School, 2711 Kensington Road
  • Westlake Hardware, Sixth Street and Kasold Drive
  • Douglas County Bank, Ninth and Kentucky streets
  • Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa

In addition, the city continues its yard waste collection program, taking the material to its compost facility instead of the landfill. This program began after a study years ago showed that yard debris was the largest component of household waste.

"We have far surpassed our own thoughts of what we could provide and the results we could get," Mangerich said.

But the program has expanded to reach more than just residents. It has also started to help small businesses recycle.

Mangerich said the city provides more than 500 cardboard recycling boxes for small businesses, and that nearly 100 businesses were taking advantage of office paper waste containers regularly collected by the city.

Jeff Joseph, owner of Jeff's Curbside Recycling, said business recycling was where he had seen the most growth.

"It's not the mindset where we can only recycle in the home, but a mindset that we can recycle on other places as well," Joseph said. "Household recycling carries over to the office."

Joseph himself has been able to make his business a success because of the popularity of recycling in Lawrence. As one of three curbside recycling services in the city, Joseph said the demand for his work has increased so much that he had to buy a larger vehicle.

Four years ago, Joseph started his own collection service. Even with limited advertising - magnets on his vehicle and paper fliers - he continues to remain busy with his current customers and their referrals.

"This supports me doing the right thing," Joseph said, "and supports families who don't have the time to recycle."

Joseph takes all the materials he collects to the Wal-Mart recycling center, a facility he says is a major reason for Lawrence's high recycling rate.

Even with Lawrence's progress in recycling, there are still areas for improvement.

While recycling was one of Lawrence's strengths, Mangerich said people often forget about also reusing and reducing their wastes.

"The realities of the math are that people still are not reducing on their consumption of goods and services," Mangerich said. "Our waste generation per person still increases from year to year."

Joseph said he was hopeful more could be done to get kids involved in the recycling effort.

"I'd love to get all schools recycling, whether I'm involved or not," Joseph said. "It would teach children the value of recycling, and if you teach a child, you're helping for the future. If we became involved, it would definitely pay for itself and benefit those generations after us."

Others, such as Carrillo, believe a citywide curbside recycling program would encourage the practice.

"I think a lot of people recycle, and I think if it was more accessible more people would do it," Carrillo said.

In 2004, Lawrence found the cost of the pickup would be an extra $11.24 per month for households to begin a once-per-week curbside recycling program, nearly double the current residential trash bill of $11.48.

Mangerich said such a program would have to be passed by the Lawrence City Commission, which would likely give residents a vote on the issue because it would involve an increase in monthly bills.

"Citizens within the community would need to decide if they valued that service for that dollar amount," Mangerich said.

Notes from our tech department:
This is a 1/72 Curtiss P-40M/N Warhawk Plastic Model Kit from Academy.

The Curtiss P-40 was the only USAAF fighter available in quantity when the US
entered WWII in 1941. By that time, the aircraft was almost obsolete compared
to its adversaries, but soldiered on throughout the war as various improvements
were made in its design. The P-40M and N variants were the last production
models and were developed in an attempt to overcome some of the performance
deficencies of the aircraft. The P-40N in particular underwent a major program
of weight reduction, and as a result was the fastest and most agile of the P-40
series. The N-model also featured improved rear visibility through a
redesigned rear canopy. Both the M and N models served with the USAAF and its
allies in WWII: Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

Detailed 1/72nd scale kit for static display only.
59 parts in light grey and clear with fine recessed panel lines.
Detailed wheel wells and landing gear.
Optional canopies for M & N versions - may be posed open or closed.
Cockpit: features instrument panel, seat, control stick and floor
rear armour plate.
One drop tank and one bomb included.
Detailed nose radiator assembly and exhaust stacks are separate to
facilitate painting.

OPTIONS: One decal sheet with markings for 3 aircraft:
1: P-40N, 48-5281, 74th Sqdn, Kwellin, China, 1944.
2: P-40N, A29-629/BU-B "Cleopatra III", LtCol GC Atherton, 80 Sqdn,

ChaosMen: Franco, Zak Fit: Serviced

Data Released: Jul 6, 2016

Zak was not kidding when he said he could swallow some cock! Instead of him just getting serviced, we started with Franco and Zak both stroking their own cocks. They eyeball each other’s dicks, then start to stroke each other. Zak’s cock was hard first, so he slides on down to nurse on Franco’s semi-erect cock. Zak must have some great skills because Franco go hard pretty quick! Zak just zones out while cock-sucking. You can tell just how focused he is, and happy to have a cock in his mouth. When it came time for Franco to suck him, it took Zak some time to get hard. …

It showed me right away that Zak really like seeing and sucking a cock in order to stay in the zone. So Franco flips on to his back and shows-off his hard cock. Giving him some visual stimulation, Zak strokes his own cock until it is hard. He fucks Franco’s face with it, but he then leans over and gets Franco’s dick back in his mouth. He just can’t stay away from it! Franco is a little trapped under there, so he fingers Zak’s hole. Between servicing Franco and the ass play, Zak was hard and really turned on. Honestly, I think all Zak really wanted to do was to get face fucked by a big cock. He gets on his back and drapes his head over the edge so Franco can jam it down his throat. The dude can indeed deep throat! Franco pulls out then jerks his cock fast. He spills his load all over Zak’s face! Even full-on gay guys are not always eager to eat cum, but Zak loved having the seed on him! I think ‘mostly straight’ is a stretch. I think we can put him in the full-on bi category. For now. As soon as Franco coats his face and mouth with his seed, Zak ramps up and bust his own load. I will ask Zak to come back. He said he wants to start by topping, but given the anal play and his interest in sucking cock, I am hoping he will be a versatile team player!

Annus mirabilis

If I may repeat a thought from September 8, mentally converting the conditional into the indicative as I reread:

With breath held as the billion-dollar Romney air assault kicks into post-convention gear, I am also prepared to be proud.  Step back and contemplate that in the face of 8-plus percent unemployment, and a united opposition that has sabotaged and demonized his every initiative for 44 months, Obama remains at least a slight favorite for reelection.  Renewing our vows would be even more awe-inspiring than electing Obama in the first place.

In the euphoria of 2008, it was possible to think that racism was losing its potency, was not a major factor in our politics. After we lost that innocence, after four years of more and less racially coded attacks, from birtherism to Gingrich's food stamp president to Romney's subtler charge that Obama doesn't understand what makes America unique; after the death panel screams and the debt ceiling debacle; Obama's support has never fully cratered, and is looking more likely than not to carry him over the finish line. His basic competence, and intelligence, and dignity, and concern for the mass of the people, and integrity are manifest enough that a large plurality has always stuck with him.

Pundits moan no end about the stupidity of the electorate. Progressives worry, with reason, about the effects of unprecedented and unaccountable billions flowing into campaign coffers, and an equally unprecedented willingness to base a campaign entirely on lies. And yet, in the face of all, it appears more likely than not that the race-baiting, compromise-ditching, economy-sabotaging, government-gutting, corporate-controlled GOP is going to fail to fool most of the people enough of the time to unseat Obama.

If he prevails again, it will be America's finest hour since the Voting Rights Act.

So he has prevailed. And let's pause for a moment to remember -- and, in his triumph, savor -- the rings of fire he has passed through: economic freefall. Implacable disloyal opposition from the day he was elected; sabotage and smear, to the point where the real effects of his economy-saving and built-to-last stimulus bill were erased from the public perception. The heaviest legislative lift since the Voting Rights Act, resulting in the most important addition to the safety net since Medicare. The midterm shellacking, followed by the debt ceiling debacle, out of which he salvaged a debt ceiling-free run to the present and massive leverage at the edge of the fiscal cliff, and after which he learned to hammer an opposition incapable of compromise. Whitewater rafting past the rocks of Supreme Court ruling on the ACA, Israeli threats to set the world afire, and European meltdown.  Hard-won backdoor stimulus in the form of payroll tax cuts and unemployment extensions.

Obama knows how to be president now.  He knows what his opposition is an dhow to deal with it.  He is free to cement the pillars of his legacy, the long-term investments in the future: universal healthcare with evolving cost controls, a new banking regime dependent on rule-writing by an administration serious about curbing the industry's excesses, ongoing investment in alternative energy, moderating the Supreme Court, completing the gay rights revolution, a peaceful resolution to Iran's nuclear development, continued patient, subtle leadership in the continued development of multilateral institutions...the list goes on.

Jonathan Chait recently argued convincingly that Obama has been a great president. Second terms are notorious for setbacks and dissipated energy. More than most presidents, though, Obama has a full plate simply in the hard, essential work of implementing and building on his towering legislative accomplishments. I am confident that he will be a good steward of those works in progress.

Walt Crawford seeking employment

From his blog: "Ever thought you or one of the groups you work for or with could use a Walt Crawford? Here's your chance. The RLG-OCLC transition will be complete in September. I've received a termination notice from OCLC, effective September 30, 2007. I'm interested in exploring new possibilities. For now I'm trying not to narrow the options too much. The basics: A new position could start any time after October 15, 2007 (possibly earlier). January to April 2008 might be ideal as a starting date, but earlier or later is quite possible..."

Should Edward Mujica be on the Cardinal’s Post Season Roster?

Ed Zurga, Getty Images

Ok, so the St. Louis Cardinals will have the home field advantage throughout the National League playoffs.  Is it an advantage if Edward Mujica is on the mound? Should Mujica be on the playoff roster?  That’s the number one question in St. Louis and I wouldn’t want to be Cardinal Manager Mike Matheny who will be making that decision.

Mujica, the Cardinals ace closer, has been extremely ineffective to say the least over the past few weeks. So what is the Cardinal Manger to do?  If you go with your heart you say yes.  If you go with the reality of the situation you say no.

I was listening to a Cleveland radio station and the sports talk host was discussing the same situation that the Indians have with their closer Chris Perez ( a former Cardinal). The announcer pretty much summed it up by saying the following.  If you wonder who makes the team just do the following.  Go through each name on the roster and say one of two things about him. Positive or detriment. If it is a detriment next to the name, he’s off the roster.  I would have to agree.

These games are too important not to have the “positive’ labeled guys on your post season team and in the Cardinals case that would mean that Mujica sits. There is no denying that without him, there is no post season in the Gateway City this year. But with him now, there is no Division, League or World Series Championship either.  Man, I am glad I am not Mike Matheny.  What would you do Cardinal fans?

Mount Attavoiros

85100 Rhodes

More about us...

A few Kilometers from the village of Embona is Mount Attaviros, the highest point on the island at 1,200 meters.
The views from the top are fantastic and the temperature at least 15 degrees cooler than by the sea.
There are some archaeological remains just below the summit-a very quiet and peaceful place with only a handful of visitors who venture all the way to the top-even though it is easy to reach by road.

An understanding of science and technology is increasingly important for educated debate, public policy and daily life. Reasonably, Yale has emphasized the importance of engaging with science during an undergraduate career — even if one is studying English or sociology. This emphasis on science for all is valuable; however, its implementation in the undergraduate curriculum falls far short of its noble goals.

Under both the old distributional requirements and the new ones, all students must take at least two science classes. The Yale College Programs of Study explains not only that “acquiring a broad view of what science is, what it has achieved, and what it might continue to achieve is an essential component of a college education,” but also that the study of science includes “theoretical inquiry, experimental analysis, and firsthand problem solving.” The requirement demands much from the two science classes that the typical non-science student will take in his four years at Yale, but few classes that are actually used to fulfill this requirement meet these lofty goals.

I have divided the current science offerings into four relevant categories: the classes for science majors only, the guts, the pseudo-guts and the successes — the classes that come closest to achieving the goals of the science requirement.

The classes for science majors are not good candidates for fulfilling the stated goals. The majority of science classes are upper-level classes that require at least one Yale science class as a prerequisite. Most non-science majors are not going to be taking these classes. The introductory classes may be accessible for non-science majors, but they are very broad survey classes designed to be the building blocks for further science studies — the student who is not continuing in the subject may take little long-term value from one of these. That they are filled with science majors and premeds makes them even less attractive for non-science majors.

The guts are an elusive species that is now quite endangered. While their characteristics — with easy at the top of the list — are well-known, few classes actually provide the combination of light material and easy grading. Besides contributing almost nothing to the goals of the science requirement, the gut is basically gone. Whether through departmental pressure or because of the embarrassment of being a professor who teaches a gut, the gut class at Yale has largely been converted to what I’ve termed the “pseudo-gut.”

The gut class covers simple material, has little work and has easy grading. The pseudo-gut treats simple material, but the similarities end there. The pseudo-gut requires substantial amounts of work, including things like long papers that are more busywork than true research. They also require regular homework, of course. The pseudo-gut can often be identified on course evaluations by warnings about grading that is tougher than would be expected — tough grading is a classic way a professor demonstrates to students that a given class is most certainly not a gut. Unfortunately, these classes are just as lacking in substantive treatment of real science as guts are.

What I’ve called the “successes” are the classes that substantially achieve the goals of the science requirements in ways that are accessible for non-science majors. These classes go into enough detail on a subject that they actually involve real science, like one would expect at the college level, rather than material one might find in Popular Mechanics. They significantly engage with science not just from a historical or informational perspective but from an analytical one. They teach part of a subject in sufficient depth that a student can take some meaningful knowledge from the course without taking any further courses. The Astronomy Department, perhaps because it has few majors, seems to have gone the furthest in developing classes that are engaging and challenging that won’t kill someone who isn’t a physics major, but won’t insult someone who took a moderate amount of high-school science. The course offerings of the other science departments, however, have a primary focus on classes for majors and are balanced with a sprinkling of guts and pseudo-guts.

If we are really to take to heart the idea that every liberal arts major should substantially engage with science during his four years at Yale, we need more successes. There are students who have very little background in the sciences and those who spent substantial time on science in high school but have now turned toward something else. We should work to fulfill the needs of both groups, but the guts and pseudo-guts have nothing to offer either.

Filmmaker and New Haven resident Lisa Molomot found inspiration for her 2013 documentary, “The Hill,” from an unlikely source — her real-estate agent. When she moved to New Haven in 2001, Molomot soon learned that the city government planned to demolish 123 homes to make space for a magnet school in the Elm City’s Upper Hill neighborhood. Residents of the area — many of whom are African-American and low-income — proceeded to challenge the government’s decision in court.

Molomot documented the residents’ struggle in her hour-long movie “The Hill.”

“[The film] was a way to get to know New Haven,” Molomot said. “It was a way to make sense of the city.”

Despite the film’s political and racial undertones, Molomot said her work is not concerned with New Haven politics at large. The film is “a human story,” she said, tracing a particular event at a particular time.

Ruth Drews, a local pastor residing in Upper Hill and a community member featured in the film, said the legal battle between the residents and the city was underreported in local media outlets, making Molomot’s film an important historical record.

“There are some people that live nearby and didn’t know all this was happening,” said Anstress Farwell, president of the New Haven Urban Design League — a local organization that supports projects that aims to create a sustainable city by tackling issues such as historical preservation of New Haven sites and street safety. “It just shows the communication barrier in the city.”

Farwell was also featured in the film, as the group helped organize community members during the lawsuit.

Though residents failed to stop the demolition of their homes, Drews said she thinks they “won in every way except the court case,” adding that public opinion was on their side. Despite substantial urban restructuring efforts, including the ongoing Downtown Crossing project, local authorities have not attempted to demolish any residential homes since the proceedings in Upper Hill.

“I would like to think that the government of New Haven has learned its lesson,” Drews said.

The construction of the John C. Daniels magnet school was part of an extensive fifteen-year long citywide school construction program. Farwell questioned whether the magnet school benefits the neighborhood, as the school does not draw exclusively from the local student population.

Since its release, Molomot and Farwell have organized screenings of “The Hill” throughout the city, often in nearby schools and local libraries.

“I think for young people especially, the film actually has more meaning because they can actually change the world,” Molomot said.

The two have tried to raise funds for a screening of the documentary at a prominent venue, but adequate funds for such a screening have not yet been secured.

The Yale Law School plans to host a private screening of “The Hill,” examining the legal rationale behind the residents’ defeat. Farwell encouraged student groups on campus to host viewings, and Molomot said she hopes to screen the movie at Yale in the future.

“The Hill” won Best Documentary Feature at the Greenpoint Film Festival earlier this month.

Why I do what I do? Business storytelling at its compelling best

Business Storytelling‘In July 1985, 5 year old Eve van Grafhorst was banned from attending her local kindergarten in Kincumber, NSW.  Eve was HIV positive and had contracted HIV from a blood transfusion when she was born.  This was the time of the grim reaper ads about AIDS and families in the town of Kincumber would cross the street to avoid Eve and her family.  Completely ostracised Eve and her family migrated to Hastings, New Zealand where I met her while working for the newspaper.

One day in New Zealand Eve decided to raise money for AIDS awareness by selling hugs for $1.00 at the local mall. Everyone was giving her a hug and helping her raise money except for this one man who was watching from a distance.  I asked him if he planned to give her a hug and he told me ‘I am scared to give her a hug as I might catch something’.  I told Eve and she went over to the man and gently talked to him for nearly an hour at the end of which he gave her a hug and $1.00 and there wasn’t a dry eye in the mall.  When I saw how this little girl could work for an hour to raise $1.00 to make a difference I realised how much I could do to make a difference.

This was my turning point and I decided to set up my company m.a.d.woman, committed to encouraging, inspiring and enabling people to make a positive difference in the environment, community and to the lives of people who need support.  Eve died peacefully aged 11 in her mother’s arms. She remains one of the most inspiration people in my life.’

Melina Schamroth

We recently had the privilege of hearing this story shared by Social entrepreneur Melina Schamroth, on why she set up her business.  We were also so delighted to learn that on on Friday night m.a.d.woman was named the National Winner of the 2011 Telstra Business Awards – Yellow Pages Social Responsibility category. GO Melina!

What every presenter can learn from TED?

Business StorytellingWhat every presenter can learn from TED?

I love TED Talks and can spend many a pleasant hour (ahem) watching different speakers.  I am also always trying to dissect what makes the talks so exceptional.   One of my favourites is Benjamin Zander and as soon as you watch him, you realise he has a passion and enthusiasm that is immediately infectious.  He obviously knows and loves his subject (classical music), but don’t let the subject put you off.

Benjamin Zander is able to connect with people by using humour and personal stories.  He seems to genuinely believe that his audience loves classical music too, except they might not know that yet!  Which is a brave premise, but it works!

How about if this is not your style and you are presenting on a topic that most people might know very little or even nothing about?  Rajesh Rao’s presentation on the 4,000 year old Indus script is an example.  At each step Rajesh Rao creates a modern context to help his audience understand and engage with him.  He almost immediately refers to the Indus script as the ‘mother of all crosswords’ – and you can sense the audience laughing and relaxing.  Even when he is talking about the structure of language (which is quite complex)  he is able to give us an everyday relatable example, but most importantly he uses self disclosure to tell us why this is his passion and why it’s important.

Recently, I discovered another reason why the speeches are so good. TED’s organisers send upcoming speakers a stone tablet, engraved with the ‘TED Commandments’.

Here are the Ten  TED Commandments that every presenter could benefit from:

1.     Thou Shalt Not Simply Trot Out thy Usual Shtick

2.     Thou Shalt Dream a Great Dream, or Show Forth a Wondrous New Thing, Or Share Something Thou Hast Never Shared Before

3.     Thou Shalt Reveal thy Curiosity and Thy Passion

4.     Thou Shalt Tell a Story

5.     Thou Shalt Freely Comment on the Utterances of Other Speakers for the Sake of Blessed Connection and Exquisite Controversy

6.     Thou Shalt Not Flaunt thine Ego. Be Thou Vulnerable. Speak of thy Failure as well as thy Success.

7.     Thou Shalt Not Sell from the Stage: Neither thy Company, thy Goods, thy Writings, nor thy Disparate need for Funding; Lest Thou be Cast Aside into Outer Darkness.

8.     Thou Shalt Remember all the while: Laughter is Good.

9.     Thou Shalt Not Read thy Speech.

10.  Thou Shalt Not Steal the Time of Them that Follow Thee

Now we know how Ted can claim its by line ’Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world’.

Do you have another Presentation Commandment that you think should be there?  As always please comment and tell us what you think.

YaNOID - Introduction.

YaNOID is based on the old Arkanoid.
We know there are a lot of arkanoids out there, but we intend to make this very special by adding multiplayer, different modes and even networking.

Screenshot 1 Screenshot 2

YaNOID is developed under GNU General Public License , please read this if you're going to use YaNOID.

Yanoid has only been tested under Linux with the Intel line of CPUs, but should build on any platform that supports the necessary tools and libs.

Yanoid uses the gnu autotools to (try to) auto configure it self, and automate the build and install procedure. Ideally the process should automatically identify any missing software, and inform about what is needed to do to be able to build yanoid. However, this procedure has been tested only for a limited number of distributions and to make it easier to correct in case of errors, the following list of requirements are given.

Yanoid is written in a combination of C++ (using STL) and Python.

* Tools

Yanoid should compile with the ordinary GNU tools. Yanoid is known to work with
- g++ version 2.96 (STL)
- ld version 2.10.91
- make version 3.79.1

* Libraries

A number of standard libraries are needed, as well as a number of libraries that could be considered non-standard.

Standard libraries include:
glibc (libc & libstdc++), pthread, dl, util, m (math), X11 & Xext. These libraries should be present in all modern Linux distributions pr. default. For some distributions you may have to install "devel" packages to be able to compile. (Eg, glibc-devel, etc).

Non-standard libraries or programs:
SDL >= 1.2.2, SDL_mixer >= 1.1, SDL_image >= 1.1, python<version > 2.0>, artsc, esd, audiofile, vorbis, smpeg, jpeg, png, z, ogg & tiff.

Happy 250th!

Friday, January 27, 2006

"How seemly, then, to celebrate the birth
Of one who did no harm to our poor earth,
Created masterpieces by the dozen,
Indulged in toilet humor with his cousin,
And had a pauper's funeral in the rain,
The like of whom we shall not see again."

“Mozart” - W.H. Auden

Skookumchuk said...

Not to keep hammering about the boy genius aspect . . . but.

In about an hour and a half, it will be time for a good bottle of wine and the sound of Pinchas Zukerman cranking through some violin concerti. I think Mozart was still in his teens when he wrote the last one.

Peter UK said...

One hates to make comparisons but......look what they get paid nowadays

RogerA said...

Hmmm-Great Post and and thanks for recognizing the other teutonic giant (Bach, of course)--for those who think Mozart is a bit frilly I believe it is K 576--a chromatic study, that is Mozart's GREATEST work ( I think I have the Kochel listing correct)--not much listed to but spectacular--It really presages where music was going. And I genuinely mean I believe, while a short work, it is his most complex.

Having extolled the virtues of K 576, who cannot open a good Reisling, sit back, and Listen to Il Nozze de Figaro--every part is a winner.

RogerA said...

OK--and I will leave it to the reader to correct all my really bad typing

RogerA said...

MHA--thanks for grounding us in the majesty of one of civilization's great intellects and contributors--I knew it was his 250th--even google demonstrated it--but as Skook said--it is a time to relax, listen, drink good wine, and celebrate a genuine genius.

Buddy Larsen said...

Good thing he didn't have an XBox--

chuck said...

Jazz musicians also record Mozart. For instance, here is Bobby McFerrin and Chic Corea doing the piano concertos nos. 20 & 23. I believe Keith Jarret has also made recordings. What makes this interesting to me is that these performers have brought improvisation back into the music. What would a Mozart piano performance have been without some improvisation? How *else* could one be faithful to the composers intentions?

vnjagvet said...

Proving that even an old conservative can appreciate the work of NPR, I just heard the four hour Mozart 250 concert it carried from the Grosse Festspielhaus in Salzburg with Muhti, Cecelia Bartoli, Thomas Hampson, and a host of others. First rate.

Even the flu couldn't dim the warm glow.

A helluvalot better than listening to Kerry drone on about a doomed filibuster.

chuck said...

Heh, and here is Bobby McFerrin on Mozart:

"I love Mozart so much I could devote the rest of my life to conducting his music," McFerrin says. "It's absolutely serious fun. There's something in Mozart that's very compatible with me, the way he swings and rocks. There's a lot of air, breathing room, in his music. It's lots of fun, very energetic and joyfully interesting. I love where his music goes, the moods he emotes."

Mozart swings and rocks. Now that's a description you won't find in most commentary.

Syl said...

Improvisation was the norm back then...at least for the coda in concerti.

Some deference, after all, was given to the performers too.

Rachel Yarmovsky Mordechai Sapiro Rachel Yarmovsky William Sapiro self-portrait Ida and William Sapiro 1938 Click on pictures for larger images.

Rachel Yarmovsky was born in 1880.  Before Rachel married, she worked in a textile factory in Bialystok.  She married Mordechai Sapiro (sometimes known as Shapiro) about 1907 and they lived in Bialystok, Poland.  Rachel and Mordechai had two children who emigrated to Canada and the U.S.  Rachel stayed in Bialystok with her mother Hene Yarmovsky.  Rachel and Hene died during World War II.  They had lived at One Zytnia Street, Bialystok.  (For a map showing Zytnia St. and Rozanska St., click here  Also, see the 1927 Bialystok map on this site's Bialystok page).

Mordechai Sapiro was born about 1880.  He was a teacher who had to quit teaching (which involved much standing) because of a heart condition.  He then started a bread shop which became a grocery store.  He got into the bread business when he was forced to sell some bread that he had purchased.  The bread was purchased for a committee that was in charge of acquiring it for distribution to the needy.  There was a dispute as to the bread, so Mordechai was stuck with it and had to sell it.  A 1929 Polish business directory shows Mordko Szapiro with a grocery store at 4 Rozanska.  After Mordechai died in 3/20/1934 in Bialystok, Rachel continued to run the family's grocery store.  Mordechai was also a Zionist and biblical scholar who wrote articles for the local Jewish newspaper.

According to a family story, Sapiro was not the original family name and the name was changed to Sapiro to avoid a 25 year draft into the Tsar's army in Russia.  Mordechai's father is believed to have been a second son who was eligible to be drafted.  The story is that the family arranged to register his birth as a first son in another town under a different family name, i.e., Sapiro.

Rachel and Mordechai's son Velvel was born 6/12/1908 in Bialystok.  He emigrated to Canada in 1926 at age 18 by way of Ellis Island in NYC and became known as William Sapiro.  He lived with his uncle Hyman Yarmovsky's family in London, Ontario, Canada for awhile.  William worked as an engineer in Toronto and later took a similar job in Vancouver in 1942.  He later worked as a tool and die maker in Vancouver.  William married Ida Czaikowsky (her family members also spell the surname as Cjakowski and Tchaikovsky) on 9/22/1932 in Toronto, Canada.  Ida was born on 3/6/1909 and emigrated to Canada (through Halifax) about 1925.  William Sapiro died on 7/1/1978 in Vancouver.  Ida Sapiro died on 4/9/1986 in Vancouver, Canada.

Rachel's husband Mordechai Sapiro is believed to have been one of approximately eight children.  He had one known brother and several sisters.  Mordechai's brother Alter lived in the Bialystok area and had several children.  One sister lived in Warsaw and had a daughter named Feige who survived World War II.  At least one Sapiro family lived in Zdzieciol in the 1930's.  One sister was named Rose Shapiro who married Joseph Perman.  Rose's daughter Bella was born in the town of Mordy, Poland, which is near the city of Siedlce (which is southeast of Bialystok) and is in the Siedlce Gubernia (district).  Another sister was named Yahette Shapiro.  Yahette's daughter Dora was born in Siemiatycze (which is located between Siedlce and Bialystok).

The photos from left to right are: 1. Rose, Bella, Ida & Lillie Camel about 1914; 2. Rose, Ida & Lillie Camel about 1916; 3. Bella Camel at age 100 in Philadelphia, 1983; and 4. Sarah Perman (Bella Camel's paternal grandmother).

Bella Perman was born on 3/7/1883 in Mordy, Poland in the Siedlce district.  Her parents were Joseph David Perman and Rose Shapiro (Rose was Joseph's first wife and they had about 5 children; there were another six children with the second wife).  Bella's paternal grandmother was named Sarah.  Bella married Jacob Camel (originally Kamel) about 1906.  Jack Kamel, a 22 year old embroiderer born in Warsaw and his wife Balcie, 21, arrived in NYC with their infant daughter Rose on 9/28/1907 on the S.S. New York sailing from Southampton.  (Two of Jack's siblings, Elsig and Sarah Kamel, were also on the same ship.)  The 1920 Federal Census showed Jacob and Bella Camel living at 95th St. Manor Ave. #824 in Queens, NY, with their three daughters, Rose, Ida and Lillie and two cousins Tillie Diner and Sylvia Diner.  At the time of the 1930 Census, the family (including Rose's husband David Brodsky) lived at 1296 College Ave. in the Bronx.  Bella's Social Security Application dated 10/24/63 showed her still living at 1296 College Ave., Bronx, NY and born in Sedlitz, Poland.  Bella Camel died on 12/15/1986 in Philadelphia at the age of 103.  According to his 1937 Social Security Application, Jacob Camel was born on 7/4/1886 in Warsaw with his parents shown as Chaim Kamel and Raisel Finkelkraut.  In 1937, he was employed at the Senate Embroidery Co. at 315 W. 36 St., NYC.  Jacob was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 1911.  Jacob Camel died in November 1972.

Dora Huber was born on 3/11/1894 in Siemiatycze.  According to her 1937 Social Security Application, her parents were Osher Labeke Guber and Yahette Shapiro.  The Ellis Island records show Doby Pszennej sailing from Rotterdam on the S.S. Ryndam which arrived in NYC on 10/19/1920.  She was shown as 29 years old with her daughter Sara, 8, leaving Leib Huber in Semiatice enroute to Philadelphia to her husband Jacob Pszenny at 1629 S. Lawrence St.   Doby and Sara were shown as born in Simiatice, Poland and living in Siedlec, Poland.  Dora married Jacob J. Pseny about 1912.  The 1930 Census showed the Pseny family living at 5342 Locust St., Philadelphia, PA, with Jacob employed as a teamster in his own business.  Dora's 1937 Social Security Application showed her still living at 5342 Locust St. and her employer as Jacob Pseny, Inc. at the same address.  Dora Pseny died on 12/13/1975 in Philadelphia, PA.  Dora and Jacob had three children including Sylvia (originally Sara) who died on 12/1/1994 in Gladwyne, PA.  Sylvia's 1936 Social Security Application showed her born in Siedlice, Poland on 9/14/1913 with her parents being Jacob Pseny and Dora Huber.  Sylvia's married name was Sylvia Mink.

#12 Swallowed By The Sea

There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

- William Shakespeare

Hubble Captures Images Of Jupiter’s Glowing Auroras

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured some beautiful images of glowing auroras over Jupiter’s poles.

Jupiter Just in time for NASA’s Juno spaceship which is due to arrive at the gas giant in the coming days.
Jupiter CNN reports:

“These auroras are very dramatic and among the most active I have ever seen,” said Jonathan Nichols from the University of Leicester, UK, and principal investigator of the study.
“It almost seems as if Jupiter is throwing a fireworks party for the imminent arrival of Juno,” Nichols said in press release.

The new Hubble images show bluish lights that appear to dance over Jupiter’s poles. NASA says the observations of the auroras were supported by measurements made by Juno, which starts orbiting Jupiter on Monday, July 4.

The auroras were photographed by Hubble during a series of observations of Jupiter made in far ultraviolet-light. The full-color disk of Jupiter used in the image was photographed separately by Hubble at an earlier time.

Unlike auroras on Earth, NASA says the ones on Jupiter never cease. They are huge and “hundreds of times more energetic than auroras on Earth,” the agency said.

The new observations and measurements from Hubble and Juno will help scientists understand how the sun and other sources influence auroras on Jupiter. Hubble will continue to monitor Jupiter’s auroras for the duration of the Juno mission.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. The planet is a giant ball of gas 11 times wider than Earth and 300 times more massive than our home world. It’s easy to see in the night sky — appearing as a bright, unblinking star. It’s best known for its Great Red Spot and colorful storm bands. If you have a telescope, you can see four of Jupiter’s largest moons.

Meander Down Miner Street

<<Back | Points of Interest Home | Next>>

Miner Street is a true relic of the gold mining era and a must visit destination in Yreka. Look for historical markers fixed to shop and restaurant storefronts describing buildings and historical landmarks.

Visit the old fashioned Soda Fountain in Bella Art Works, a long time favorite of locals and visitors alike. The ice cream fountain and ceramic studio combo creates a bright and friendly venue for visitors, kids and parties.

The brand new Miner Street Meat Market, reminiscent of the City Meat Market of 1854, features natural, organic and local meats, old fashioned whole dill pickles and a 12 tap, draft beer growler fill station featuring rare micro-brews, craft beers and much more. Yreka is soon to be a mecca for brewers and beer enthusiasts with the new Etna Brew Taphouse at 4th and Miner.

While meandering, be sure to wisp through The Sewing Room, where fashion designer, Heidi Martin features her line of western home decor, art and Blue Eyed Girl clothing. Across the street, Farm Girl Antiques sells a collection of antique and refurbished home decor. Next door, visit Dan Daniels at New Traditions Dulcimers & Wood Crafts. In addition to Dulcimers, Dan builds Native American Flutes, Bowed Psaltery and Kalimbas. The store also features its own line of organic soaps, soy candles, wooden hand stenciled signs, rustic cottage furniture and hand crafted wood toys

Natural Selections and Brown Eyed Gal Designs Vintage Home make for the perfect neighbors at the end of the Miner Street shopping block. The boutique clothing at Natural Selections is hand selected by store owner Ellen Janson. Linda Martin, owner and designer of Brown Eyed Gal Vintage Home Designs also creates an equally amazing experience. “Brown Eyed Gal is the kind of shop you find in a trendy, trendy town,” explains the Yreka Chamber of Commerce. Martin has made a business out of re-purposing furniture to creating her amazing line of shabby chic furniture and vintage inspired home decor and gifts.

Podcast Episode 35

Meggie is out; Daniel is Daisy's baby daddy but won't be wearing a "World's Greatest Dad" shirt; and Sharon accepts Nick's marriage proposal...for now.

The Young & the Restless Recap: Episode 35

Sorry for the delay. You can thank Verizon for not letting us know that they no longer service internet in our state. We'll podcast the next episode soon, and the BEST OF 2010 during the winter break! Thanks for listening! Love your comments!

Anonymous said...

Time and Evetz wait for no man... or... woman. My top most memorable/good/bad/ugly moments from the '10:

Best 'girls' -> Sharon is always firm here. Neens is massive. Heather is a nice addition. But it goes to Sofia. As Johnny Carson once told Dolly Part 'em... "I'd give a weeks wages to peek under your top."

Relax girls in this pc world... next category is 'boys', beefcake and buns. My female friends tell me they wouldn't mind Roanin roamin' all over 'em. 'Nuff said.

Nastiest love scene -> Tucker and Jill (V Slims, 'whickie' and stale sex is bad) and Phyllis and Deacon dumpster diving (can you say body condom)... but this flaccid creating moment goes to ... Paul and Neens... Sausage biscuit with cheese anyone?

Recurring laughable moment -> Mrs. C's neon tops... nope... Esther still forced to wear her maid's garb... nope... Daniel (or Danielle) running during the open credits... "You go girl!"

Lastly, best plot line -> Forget Chase and his virginity or Dr. Patty with her man hands... nope... for me it's caged Janna and... anyone. My mind will do the rest.

Happy happy... Merry merry... you know where the mistletoes hangin'.

The Soap Girl said...

"You Go Girl!" Love it. When did that scene even happen? We'll be posting our categories in the next couple days - but you forgot my favorite category: "Most Incompetent"!

Anonymous said...

Re.: most incompetent.
I would like to make this a lifetime achievement award given to Paul Weems. Then retire this category until such time as he leaves the show. He has no worthy challengers!

Anonymous said...

Lastly, tops podcast moments. From 2009 -> when you two talked about the Paul Williams trophy (hand held sideways with thumb out) for incompetence and mediocrity. A 30+ year career as a PI and never having solved a case.
From 2010 -> Amanda speaking for all of us when she voiced her frustration with the Lilly/cancer saga: "Either get over it or die!"

;~) vetz

The Soap Girl said...

OMG she DID NOT say that, did she? :D

My favorite Amanda quote was about Tracy, "Granted, you never get over the death a child and blah blah blah..."

Usually I feel like she is the PC one and I'm always putting my foot in my mouth.

In my defense...okay I have no defense.

Review: Shattered by Kevin Hearne (Iron Druid Chronicles #7)

shattered4 star

Urban Fantasy
June 21 2014
352 pages
Del Rey
Received from publisher

Yummy Man – Atticus
Kick Ass Chick – Granuaile

From Goodreads –
For nearly two thousand years, there was only one Druid left walking the Earth—Atticus O’Sullivan, the Iron Druid, whose sharp wit and sharp sword kept him alive while pursued by a pantheon of hostile deities. Now he’s got company.

Atticus’s apprentice Granuaile is at last a full Druid herself. What’s more, Atticus has defrosted an archdruid long ago frozen in time, a father figure (of sorts) who now goes by the modern equivalent of his old Irish name: Owen Kennedy.

And Owen has some catching up to do.

Atticus takes pleasure in the role reversal, as the student is now the teacher. Between busting Atticus’s chops and trying to fathom a cell phone, Owen must also learn English. For Atticus, the jury’s still out on whether the wily old coot will be an asset in the epic battle with Norse god Loki—or merely a pain in the arse.

But Atticus isn’t the only one with daddy issues. Granuaile faces a great challenge: to exorcise a sorcerer’s spirit that is possessing her father in India. Even with the help of the witch Laksha, Granuaile may be facing a crushing defeat.

As the trio of Druids deals with pestilence-spreading demons, bacon-loving yeti, fierce flying foxes, and frenzied Fae, they’re hoping that this time . . . three’s a charm.

Shattered is the seventh book in Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles series, and the first to be offered in hardcover.

As usual, the story is busy and crazy and intense. But it’s also smart and witty and funny. Atticus is funny, yes, but the funniest character this time around has to be a long-lost man from Atticus’ past who happened to reappear at the end of the previous book. He’s been away for centuries and seeing him trying to acclimate to modern times is quite hilarious. But Kevin didn’t stoop so low as to make this character seem weak while trying to adapt and I was happy for that. One of the things I enjoy most about this series is how very clever and smart it is. It does not treat its readers as though they are simpletons. And it’s storylines and characters are never dragged down to an uncharacteristic level either.

Another of my favorite things about this series is how Kevin writes the supernatural creatures in his world. He adds such clever spins on them! We are introduced to the Yeti in this book and I just loved them. There are hints that they may be back in later books and I sure hope so.

I also absolutely love how the gods are portrayed in this series. In these books, all the gods are real and we have met many of them. And none are as you would expect them to be. Kevin adds such a human factor to them, even though it is completely obvious that they are most certainly not human. There are many scenes in this particular installment that show just how vulnerable these supreme beings truly are. These are the moments that ground you as a reader and show you just how relatable these characters are.

Shattered is told quite differently than any other book in the series to date. It is told from three different perspectives…and these perspectives tell pretty much three different stories. Atticus tells one story while on his journeys. Granuaile tells another story on her journey to find her father and battle demons and the mysterious stranger tells the last story. His is slightly intertwined with Atticus’ story but Granuaile’s is not. That’s right, Atticus and Granuaile are not together in this book, hardly at all, and I found myself missing that. It was nice to see that Granuaile is strong enough now that she can take care of herself on magical quests and such but I still missed watching her with Atticus. They are so amazing together – all mushy in their own non-mushy Shakespeare way – and I always look forward to reading their banter and of their travels. It was not horrible that Kevin chose to write the book this way, it was just different. I have no idea if the next book will be written this way too because certain events in this book suggest that time apart may be a good idea. As usual, I am left wondering what can possibly come next for our favorite Druids. I’m just happy they weren’t running or being chased a lot this time around. That was a nice change for the series.

I mentioned about how it was nice to see Granuaile and how strong she’s become. I am very impressed with how Kevin has written her character throughout this series. She has grown so much! There is one chapter in particular involving Granuaile and her father that made me tear up for her. The raw emotion she is feeling is written in a way that you feel it too. Completely. Kevin captured that perfectly.

Overall, Shattered felt like an important chapter in this series’ telling. We find out what Loki is up to and we see what other gods are prepared to do about it. It feels like a ‘setting-up-for-something-big’ book and I hope that it is. Because I would just love to see Atticus and Granuaile, along with Oberon and Orlaith (LOVE those hounds!) kick some Loki arse. These books and these characters are on my favorite list for a reason: they are brilliant. Clever writing and engrossing story-telling, it’s impossible not to get completely absorbed into the world Kevin has created. It’s a grand place to be and if you have yet to try it, I urge you to do so.

4 stars

Giggle worthy quote –

“‘Perun, who had been waiting patiently after managing to wear Oberon out, broke into a wide grin and boomed, ‘Is settled, then!  Let us to into this town at bottom of mountain and get shitbuttered.’

Our collective jaws dropped and stared at him.  ‘Excuse me?’ I said.

‘Is this not word?  How you say someone is drunk?’

‘Oh, you mean shitfaced.’

Perun threw up his hands, thoroughly exasperated.  ‘How is shit on face any better than my work?  And why would English-speaking peoples ever think that putting shit on face is like drinking good vodka?'”

Meego 1.0 for Netbooks

I bought an MSI Wind U130 a few weeks ago and was eagerly waiting for Meego 1.0. Today it got released and you can download it here. Just required writing the downloaded image onto a spare USB stick (I used the Nokia given 2GB microsd and reader from GCDS last year) and booting the netbook with that USB stick. Installation was seamless and worked a charm. All the hardware seems to work fine, bluetooth, wifi, usb etc. Twitter integration with updates on the frontpage is cool. I guess that must be done with libsocialweb. Question is: where is the Facebook and Flickr integration? It also fetches my Google Contacts and my Google calendars for the front screen integration. The IM integration is cool with Google talk, MSN and all the usual suspects there (except Skype). Facebook chat is there but it didn’t manage to login.

The default browser is Chrome (or Chromium depending on which image you download) but of course without WebM support currently. I tried bbc iplayer, which worked nicely and a few other sites.

I noticed a setting: Disable touchpad while typing. That is awesome, the amount of times I have inadvertently moved the mouse cursor while typing is crazily high.

5 Responses to “Meego 1.0 for Netbooks”

  1. Adrien Bustany Says:

    Facebook integration is not so simple from a legal point of view, because the information you download cannot be kept for more than a few days (except exceptions), and can’t be redistributed to other apps (so you can’t do a central Facebook sync service). Actually, the Facebook proxy recently disappeared from librest, which is the XML-RPC lib used by Moblin.

  2. Nick Says:

    As Adrien mentions, Facebook and Flickr are difficult for us to do from a licensing point of view. For flickr, an enterprising hacker could offer binaries of the code that exists, or help users make their own and for Facebook, well, I hope we’ll have some good-ish news soon.

    Glad you liked the IM stuff, we’ve spent a lot of time working with the telepathy and empathy guys to make that work and as for the trackpads – they’re the single worst hardware feature of netbooks – we’ve tried to make them as unfail as possible, but it’s a big job.

    Amen to that. I’m really hoping netbook manufacturers would realise the error in their ways and copy the nipple from Lenovo. I can’t imagine a trackpoint being more expensive than a trackpad and it would free valuable vertical space for the keyboard on a small widescreen device..

  4. Gert Says:

    I tried Meego on my EEEPC 900A – all hardware devices worked fine (even when I switch wireless off/on, which in Ubuntu 9.10 still required some tinkering with the kernel – I didn’t test the webcam, though).

    The Meego desktop and its graphical design (!) are awesome. I’m tempted to use it instead of my trusted Gnome/Ubuntu.

    There is one thing I really don’t like: there is no way to change the keyboard layout/language without changing the interface language. That may be OK for people who use just one language…

Stuck in Sulu Quagmire by Patricio P. Diaz

Hostilities between Moro and military forces in Sulu flared up anew when the Moro National Liberation Front under Commander Habier Malik mortared the Marine camp last April 13. Fighting is still raging, 21 rebels and Marines have been killed, and 42,000 from six towns have evacuated.

This latest incident only shows how deeply the Philippine government is stuck in the Sulu quagmire. The Arroyo administration appears clueless on how to solve the problem that had been there long before it took over the government in 2001, optimism to the contrary.

Vs. Terrorism

The Sulu quagmire is as old as Philippine history. Until the MNLF rebellion in the 1970s, the military had warred against bandits; from the 1970s until the early 1990s, against rebels; from the emergence of the Abu Sayyaf until the present, against terrorists. Altogether, the unrests in Sulu are problems Manila and the military have long been mired in.

Since September 2001, the Arroyo government has tied the Sulu (including Basilan) campaigns to the global war against terrorism of the United States. U.S. President George W. Bush has praised President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as his closest ally in Asia. Since then the Sulu campaigns have been assisted by the U.S. Special Forces.

Under the cover of the RP-U.S. Visiting Forces Agreement, the U.S. Special Forces have been training Philippine military forces in anti-terrorism warfare, in intelligence work, and in the use of modern weapons. The Special Forces have also been engaging in civic action projects – lately, extending these to other parts of Muslim Mindanao.

Not so long ago, President Arroyo proclaimed the near-end of terrorism in Sulu. Almost all known top commanders of the Abu Sayyaf in Basilan and Sulu had been killed. Only a handful of Abu Sayyaf terrorists – less than 100 – have survived and are being mopped up by the military forces.

Either the President’s pronouncement was based on erroneous intelligence or the Abu Sayyaf, like the mythical bird phoenix, can rise from its ashes. More military battalions have been sent to Sulu. In today’s news (April 20), the Abus, now numbering 400, are as savage as ever – beheading seven captives and sending the heads to the military camp.

A few times in the earlier past, the military and the President had predicted the extinction of the Abu Sayyaf only to rise in bigger number in succeeding news reports. It seems that part of the quagmire, as the contradictions indicate, is faulty intelligence and reckless propaganda. Minds are won not by glowing words but by visible facts.

Reports from the Palace and the military intend to convince the nation of the successes in the fight against terrorism in Sulu. But the people of Sulu, obviously, are not. The fight can only be won in Sulu not in Manila or elsewhere in the country.

While beneficiaries appreciate civic action projects, they and the non-beneficiaries in greater number evidently continue supporting tacitly the Abu Sayyaf and other terrorists.

Evidently, too, most – if not all – people of Sulu do not see the Manila-labeled terrorists as terrorists but as champions of their historic grievances against the government.

Vs. MNLF, Too

The military campaign in Sulu is not just against the Abu Sayyaf but also against MNLF groups known to be loyal to detained Chairman Nur Misuari. Best known among these is Malik’s group. Prompted by Misuari’s protest against the ARMM election, his group attacked the military camp in Panamao, Sulu in November 2001.

For this and the simultaneous attacks of the Southern Command and the Cabatangan Complex in Zamboanga City, Misuari was detained and charged with rebellion. Since then, MNLF-Misuari loyalists have been labeled as Misuari break-away group to make it appear that the mainstream MNLF is true to the 1996 Final Peace Agreement.

But which MNLF faction is the mainstream? The Organization of Islamic Conference has always recognized Misuari as the MNLF chairman. In the review of the 1996 FPA, the OIC has asked the Philippine government to release Misuari so that he can lead the MNLF delegation to Jeddah.

Since November 2001, Malik has challenged the military more than twice. Each time, his camps were captured but later abandoned after negotiations to allow him to re-occupy them. His group would be called “rogue MNLF” each time he attacked the military.

After attacking the Marines last April 13, two of his camps were reported captured. A one million-peso bounty was offered for information leading to his capture. Again, his group was labeled “rogue MNLF”. Will the camps be returned to him again after another negotiation?

Calls for Ceasefire

The government has refused the call of the OIC for a ceasefire and negotiation. President Arroyo told the OIC her government is not fighting the MNLF but the Abu Sayyaf which Malik’s group has joined. In response, the OIC has urged its member states to press for the immediate end of the week-old clashes in Sulu.

Other groups are also calling for a ceasefire and negotiation. Among them are the Suara Bangsamoro Partylist and the Stop the War Coalition – Philippines whose April 17 manifesto was signed by 75 organizations and four individuals as members. The number of refugees is increasing; and so is the need for relief.

Will President Arroyo and the military continue ignoring the call of the OIC at the risk of sanctions which the Associated Press hinted in its report? Will they ignore the local and nationwide calls and the suffering of tens of thousands of civilians?

Will either another ceasefire and negotiation or continued military campaign be the way for the government to pull itself out of the Sulu quagmire? Has it any better alternative?

Roots of the Problem

Neither past ceasefires and negotiations nor escalated military campaigns solved the Sulu problem. In their calls, Suara Bangsamoro Partylist and Stop the War Coalition-Philippines have pointed the way: Address the roots of the problem. To the number of roots they enumerated, more could be added if sought from concerned groups in Sulu.

The heart of the Sulu quagmire is poor military and government intelligence – one that feeds their biases, ignoring the roots of the problems. Such intelligence is not conducive to fruitful dialogues.

Knowing well the roots of the problems despite biases for national interest, government will be ready to understand and grant legitimate, valid and reasonable demands. On the other hand, biased intelligence will tend to ignore and misunderstand such demands.

The historical roots of the Sulu problem must be understood and solved from the viewpoint of Sulu, not of Manila. Demands deemed excessive can be satisfactorily toned down according to conditions prevailing only in Sulu and the sentiments of its people.

Manila should be ready to compromise its biases for national interest with the social, economic and cultural welfare of Sulu to the satisfaction of its people. There is no better way out of the quagmire.
