Ok so 2013 hasn't started well, being in my bed for all of it so far, (I HATE YOU FLU) but, I have not started as I mean to go on!
To start properly saving for a house, I love decorating and I can't really do that in a rental property. I know I won't be able to buy for a few years so I am content at the moment to plan my dream home on Pinterest (you can have a look at my pins here) whilst lounging about in my pi's drinking tea.
Obviously the marc jacobs ones are on my bonus wish list but I can actually see myself wearing them with everything…. and right now I wish I had them so I could wear them when I eventually go back to work with a nice white shirt and my pink creepers….
I love Pj's, and I don't have enough. Oh I have plenty of random tshirts/tops/jogging bottoms that are now used as pjs, but not enough proper sets. This all actually came about when I started watching new girl….I got PJ envy from Jess….stupid eh?
above two sets from not on the high street and I love them! They look so old school and vintage and I like that they're not floral. £50 is a bit steep so I'm thinking these will be present pjs.
The top and bottoms above are not part of a set, I love both of these pieces so much but to my disappointed they are sold without a partner… why River Island why?! I actually think I may have to buy both but I am unimpressed that the amazing russian doll shirt doesn't have matching bottoms! and the super cute pink dog print bottoms with tassels is missing a cute little pj top…. they are also both a steal at £15 each.
I love this notebook, the cover is illustrated by Bjorn Rune Lie, how beautiful is it?
Now for serious business… work notebook!
puppies on my notebook….. ok not that serious!
Whats your Jan wish list?
love your list! and i totally got jammies envy from watching new girl too. actually got the dog print set (it is a set!) from river island from my bf this christmas, but am extremely disappointed at the quality. looked so cute too!

Q: How to make a semicircle loader using SVG? The result I want to achieve is this:

And what I achieved until now is this:

What I cannot figure out is:

*

*How to round the corners of the lines in the semicircle

*How to add a perpendicular line at the end of the filled semicircle

Can someone help?

    const background = "#D9D9D9";
    const diameter = 400;

    const coordinateForCircle = diameter / 2;
    const radius = (diameter - 2 * strokeWidth) / 2;
    const circumference = Math.PI * radius;
    const semiCirclePercentage = percentage * (circumference / 100);

    return (

    );
}

ReactDOM.render( < App / > , document.getElementById("root"));

A: The line caps are controled by the stroke-linecap attribute. The thing about this particular example is that it is rounded in one end and square in the other. Therefore I use a mask to create the shape of the "meter". The "value" is controlled by the black circle stroke in the mask.
The line that follows the "meter" is placed in the middle and then rotated.

  let angle = 180 / 100 * e.target.value;

    font-family="sans-serif" font-size="5">100</text>
</svg>

A: You could look into the line endcap properties to get the rounded end; it's generally possible to use multiple <circle> and <line> elements together. But for a complex element where you want really specific control over the shape, often it works better to use a <path> element. It takes one attribute, "d", which is just a list of path segments: line, arc, and quadratic or bezier curves. You will be able to construct the shape you want out of a sequence of arcs and lines.
I don't think you will be able to avoid having to compute the coordinates for the end tick somehow, but you may find that putting things inside <g> (group) elements with "transform" attributes helps. This is a generally useful animation trick. You could, for example, put that perpendicular line in a <g> whose origin is at the center of the large semicircle, and rotate the <g> to move the line around the arc. Then at least the SVG is doing your trig for you.
mozdev is a pretty great resource for this stuff, this tutorial about paths is pretty clear: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial/Paths
You're making something animated, and I should point out that D3 (https://d3js.org) is a widely used tool for generating and animating complex SVGs and I strongly recommend you check it out. Sometimes you find a component for D3 that can be configured to make the exact thing you want, or close enough; and if not, at least it will help you with animation and transitions.
Finally, if you're stuck with SVG just staring at a text editor uncertain about how to accomplish your goal, you can open up a tool like InkScape and try drawing the thing you want. The visual feedback is immensely helpful. Then, you can look at the SVG code the tool generates and even if you aren't able to use it straight, you can see how it's structured – it will be a bit messy, but just understanding the selection of elements and attributes used can help you understand SVG better.

Town Square Spaces appoints new chair
by Nicholas Fearn	, August 28
Start-up community Town Square Spaces has appointed Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE as its new chairman amid continuing expansion.
He joins the organisation's leadership team, which consists of Gareth Jones as chief executive officer and Mandy Weston as chief operating officer.
In 2017, Gareth and Mandy launched Town Square Spaces to create an environment for people looking to change the world. They're also the founders of Caerphilly-based innovation centre Welsh ICE.
Over the past few years, Dylan has held positions at businesses and organisations such as Prime Cymru, the Institute of Directors in Wales, the European Council of Small Business, Outlook Expeditions, the Institute of Small Business and Enterprise, Finance Wales and Welsh ICE.
As well as chairing the advisory panel behind the Development Bank for Wales, Dylan sits on the Be the Spark Panel. It's a joint venture with MIT that is boosting entrepreneurship across Wales.
Dylan has also worked at academic institutions like the University of South Wales, Bangor University, Cardiff University and the University of the West of England. He founded the Wales Fast Growth 50 Awards, the Cardiff Business Awards and the Wales Start-Up Awards, too.
Speaking of his appointment, Dylan said: "To say I am delighted to accept this new role would be a massive understatement.
"The opportunity to help guide the development of an innovative new business such as Town Square Spaces is something that I am looking forward to immensely as I believe it can be truly transformational in its field over the next few years."
Town Square Spaces is on a mission to create, nurture and grow start-ups and small businesses all over the country. It provides them with accessible workspaces and business support.
The appointment of Dylan comes as the organisation recently secured a ten-year contract to run a new creative digital hub in Bognor Regis. Town Square Spaces manages the Wrexham Enterprise Hub, as well.
Gareth Jones, founder of Town Square Spaces, said: "Dylan has been a mentor for me in recent years, so I'm delighted he has officially joined our board. We wanted to appoint a chair that would not let us sit still, and we know in Dylan we have exactly that.
"We have very ambitious plans for the future, and it is important to me that we are challenged to achieve what we see as being a significant market opportunity.
"There are a small number of people in the Welsh ecosystem who have the credibility that Dylan has earned in his career – we see this appointment as being an endorsement for our future plans."


Our Kansas City Chiefs-inspired art print was created to honour the history of one of the original NFL/AFL merger teams. The team began to play in 1960 as the Dallas Texans—the same year their cross-town rivals the Dallas Cowboys joined the NFL. After three seasons it became clear the city couldn't support two teams so the franchise moved to Kansas City. The Chiefs took a new name after it came out on top during a local contest. In more recent years, the name has understandably come under scrutiny by indigenous groups and others that want to promote reconciliation with native populations through social change.
Our 'Cleveland Browns-Inspired Football Art Print' celebrates the enduring history of this legendary football team and what it means to their fans. The design features the team's 1963-1971 logo on a vintage helmet. The backdrop features an antique map of Kansas City.

Big name to play Peace Center in May
Jenni Williams
Peace Center: Named for Greenville's Peace family, three branches of which pledged $10 million in memory of Roger C. Peace, B.H. Peace Jr., and Frances Peace Graham. Roger Craft Peace (1899-1968) was a U.S. Senator, trustee of Furman, and a former newspaper publisher. At the time of his death, he was chairman of Multimedia, Inc.

bitFlyer Europe launches integration with Paypal
By Roberta Nappi
• 16 de October de 2020
bitFlyer Europe, the European branch of bitFlyer Inc., based in Japan and one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges with over 2.5 million users, announced last September the integration with the global payment platform Paypal.
Removing barriers to buying crypto
bitFlyer is the only cryptocurrency exchange regulated in Japan, the United States and Europe put together and has also been recognized as one of only 10 exchanges that does not falsify exchange volumes.
The European office is located in Luxembourg and operates an exchange platform for European traders to buy and sell virtual currencies.
According to the press release, dated 21 September 2020, with this integration bitFlyer Europe will allow its nearly 3 million users to use PayPal as a payment method and, at the same time, will allow PayPal's millions of European users to deposit funds on its platform. and buy cryptocurrencies in a safe and secure way. The partnership should strengthen the mission of making cryptocurrency trading accessible to anyone.
Andy Bryant, the bitFlyer Europe COO, said: "We are proud to offer users the ability to use their PayPal accounts to deposit funds dedicated to the purchase of cryptocurrencies. Thanks to the integration with PayPal, bitFlyer adds a new source of funding to its users," – he says. "Thousands of bitFlyer users already use PayPal for fiat transactions. Now, users can buy bitcoins and other crypto currencies in the same way".
From today, therefore, bitFlyer users will have an alternative to traditional deposit payment methods, including wire transfers, since the latter can take up to three working days for their liquidation. Partnering with PayPal should exponentially speed up the deposit process, as deposits are almost instant.
Jacek Bastin, Business Strategy Manager at bitFlyer Europe, added: "The world of cryptocurrency is still in its infancy and, despite the growing ecosystem, the industry is still daunting for non-experts. About a third of e-commerce payments in Europe are processed through PayPal, so we are more than thrilled to provide users with a deposit method they know and rely on. The PayPal deposit process is straightforward, secure and reliable, and users can be credited almost instantly".

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another, says the first law of thermodynamics. This week's chaos brought me too much negative energy — which I now offer back to the world, filtered as transformative energy.
A person's reality depends upon how one perceives a thing. These same iconic California apartment swimming pools, mentioned in today's haiku up top, by turns might feel exotic, refreshing, cold, evocative of shivers, reminders of dreariness.
This past week gave me pause to consider questions about reality. Reality increasingly settles on shifting sand, to me.
A week back I was anticipating an excellent week to come.
My power wheelchair repairs, eagerly awaited for a record period of six months of Medicare hell, were at last scheduled for Monday. The repair company called me to make a Monday appointment, then misplaced the parts. Without them on Monday, then, the technician left the office. Three calls into the aging day turned up that explanation for why no technician had appeared on my doorstep. I explained politely that my entire week was built around getting those long-promised repairs done that day. Ultimately the tech said he would come very early on Tuesday. As early as 7 a.m.
So up I rose on Tuesday, earlier than my normal 5:30. To wait, and wait… and wait. The man eventually appeared sometime after 9 a.m. In no time it was apparent that this was one squeaky clean tech, brand new to the trade. He was deliberate and careful, but seemed to me to be doing things in the most complicated manner.
Still, I bit my tongue.
Five hours later my daughter and I knew that our planned trip down to Fresno to check out apartments and deliver packed moving boxes was not going to happen. The six hours of driving back and forth wouldn't give us the time needed.
Plus I had cancelled my Monday appointment at California's busy Department of Motor Vehicles to both register my wheelchair van and get a California driver's license. The legal bit about driving… Now I would have to accomplish this complex matter later in the week, without an appointment since no more were available. Using time previously blocked out for other really important matters, such as finding a place to live in Fresno. Time closes in around me.
My stomach got all clenched up, the rest of me kind of hottish and uncomfortable the way things go in the presence of stress.
We thought this way and that way about the proceedings after the tech left us and my beautifully fixed up power wheelchair — deciding that the best thing about the long day was that, well, there it was, the well functioning machine of mine.
That unclenched the stress, for a time.
On Wednesday the DMV visit was in order, with no appointment. Long lines at these various offices are legendary, so — hoping that the upcoming holiday would keep people busy elsewhere — I arrived at the Santa Clara branch twenty minutes ahead of opening only to find a good one hundred shivering people lined up in a long snake across the front door area.
So off to the next closest DMV in San Jose I went, with Google Maps to guide me.
Google Maps, which works so well in my daughter's Android phone, which kept us flowing unconcernedly along highways, through places we had never been, so many times… Google Maps, almost the gold standard of GPS for drivers.
Lately it's been a question to me, whether Apple deliberately sabotages Google Maps in iPhones, because whenever I have departed from the programmed course GM has sent me in circles, aiming me at my destination by pointing through infinite numbers of small residential areas and crowded downtowns, not directing me to the highways that I know must be somewhere close by.
The Wednesday trip confirmed the suspicion that, for whatever reason, GM Does Not Work Well in My iPhone. For once in San Jose I missed a turn, kept going in the assumption that I would simply take the next right turn and be right as rain. Ha! GM went off into Rerouting mode and stuck there for ten minutes.
Meantime, the ABS warning light started to show up on the dashboard. Heavens, are the brakes already failing in my new-to-me van?
Eventually I stopped in a parking lot to check the meaning of an ABS light in the van's handbook, discovered this isn't an emergency, but should be looked at in due course. Fine, next week. Then I tried resetting GM, discovering that it was only going to send me in loops around the same dozen city blocks until, again, I would have to concede defeat.
So I stayed in the parking lot and did what any sensible mother of a mature daughter might do — I called Jericha, who put up with my sniffles of emoting before she directed me to the DMV.
At which place I rapidly discovered one very nice thing — they have a special line for handicapped clients, and nobody was in it. Once at the counter I discovered one not so great thing — that in these days of illegal aliens and terrorists a person cannot expect to wrest a simple driver's license and registration out of a DMV as we could the last time I registered a vehicle (2004). Oh, no, I had to have my birth certificate, which I did have with me — alongside documentation of my life's name changes, which I never anticipated submitting to any bureaucratic process like this.
So I called my faithful daughter again. She rummaged through my file cabinet till she found the requisite marriage certificate and divorce decree, which she drove down to me.
And, it appeared, they also required that I go to a different DMV for "vehicle verification," to assure that my van, bought in a different state, was actually the same one as the one in the title and on the purchase invoice.
Off to get the smog test I went. Courtesy of Apple Maps, I found a testing place without much difficulty.
On came Day 4 of the difficult week. Ditching Google Maps in favor of Apple Maps, I chose to use H.S.Highway 101 rather than the more pleasant routes (and their various road changes) for the twenty minute trip to San Jose."It's working so well," I chortled to myself as Apple Maps seamlessly delivered me to the address of the DMV. There was no view of the building as I drove up with the pleasant Siri voice telling me to turn right. Parking carefully in a wheelchair van spot, I made my way to the front door thinking what a warm and friendly DMV! … A burly pony tailed man swept open the door for me, revealing a room…. full of tables where people were eating brunch.
Uh… This doesn't look like a DMV, I muttered. "Oh, that," said Burly Man, "The DMV is two blocks in the other direction and on the other side of the street." Which would have been a left turn, not the right turn Apple Maps commanded me to do.
So much for Apple Maps.
After two hours at the appropriate DMV I left — triumphant! Resisting the urge to kiss my brand new California license plates and the DMV employee who handed them to me, I was so pleased to be in that moment and not some other over the past four days that I barely noticed that I was exiting via the enter-only driveway of the DMV — while two or three "peace officers" were standing around behind me, staring.
So now here I be, satisfied with the past week after all. My daughter made a solo visit to Fresno to both check out an apartment for me, and deliver a bunch of packed boxes to her fiancé's garage. Then she brought him back here for a long weekend — so she is happy despite my inability to get myself down there with a van full of boxes. She had been rather glum about that for a while.
Still feeling the spirit of celebration today, while Paco and Jericha were off doing things, I made myself a tea bowl of matcha… Which, once drunk, left exquisite patterns all around the interior of the bowl. Hence today's photos.
Sure, these macro images show dredges of matcha powder. A different way to read tea leaves. Well — I don't read tea leaves and don't ask anyone to read tea leaves. But when I look at these I see that if an avatar of me were to enter the lovely scene in the top photo from below she would be first faced with the option of marching into a dark cave of discovery at the bottom. Should she decide, instead, to climb up a steep wall, before her would roll high and lovely green mountains, from which she could see the world unfolding all around.
And it would be a good, green, sustainable world, thought I. Somehow, people will find ways gradually to unite and rally around the prospect of making it so. I would send my filtered bad, stressed energy back out into the world as something different, transformative.
And with that, I say, happy holidays! May the hard bits make upcoming challenges sweet as we appreciate good results from our collective efforts, as we come to appreciate our differences as strengths, creatively applying ourselves to big human problems.

Over Past Two Days, 28 COVID-19 Patients Reported Dead
by Tom Sofield
A medical worker in a California long-term care facility this week.
A total of 28 COVID-19 patients in Bucks County were reported dead on Sunday and Monday, according to officials.
The deaths were of residents who lived at long-term care centers and had underlying health issues. One patient was 57, three were in their 60s, five in their 70s, 10 in their 80s, and nine in their 90s, county officials said.
The county has reported a total of 168 COVID-19 deaths.
The county and state have declined to release the names of long-term care and retirement centers that have positive cases, but at least 50 of 84 licensed centers have cases.
On Monday night, officials did release that the county-owned Neshaminy Manor Nursing Home in Warrington has lost 15 residents with COVID-19. In a news release, the county termed it a "hard-hit" facility, with eight residents and 41 staff members with COVID-19. A total of four residents and 19 employees have recovered.
"There is honestly nothing I can say to those families that will take away the pain that you must feel, other than my thoughts are with you, my thoughts and prayers, as are the rest of the staff's," said Neshaminy Manor Administrator Marjorie Ziegler. "We loved [them] very dearly, and our prayers are with you."
The combined total for new COVID-19 cases on Sunday and Monday was 136, bringing the total to 2,675.
Two hundred ten Bucks Countians were in the hospital as of Monday night and 25 were in critical condition on ventilators.
A total of 641 residents have recovered from COVID-19.

Quite close... I figured this one out by accident, yesterday. It's an effect of the Emerald settings on the themes. I was playing with the settings; reduced the Opacity and the Radius settings on the Emerald window decorator I had downloaded for this little project and totally eliminated all that blue glow bordering.
Everything is running pretty top, now. Which I'm sheepishly surprised by as I am running a clobbered together mess of obsolete and outdated unsupported programs as an uneducated noob making it all up as I go along. As well as doing so on a machine not built for Linux.
I cannot use the old GDM themes, so I made my own and switched the greeter to LightDM. Greeter now has a modified Zorin Logo and modified password field. Screenshot is of the background image and not the active login screen.
When I feel like it, I will adjust it to look neater and less chopped together.
Also changed the encryption login screen in similar fashion but I cannot figure out any way to screenshot that.
Created a new Panel to match the rest of the theme that has the "carbon fiber look" panel bar with the azenis "A" start button. Replaced the Main Menu with Cardapio (Way outdated, using gtk2) which I am modifying with Glade to make it match as well. This is to emulate the GnoMenu look that TechnoShaun had made, with less glitter and bling and more dark theme elements. It's a work in progress, incomplete at this time. Considering that I restore classic cars, I guess it is no surprise I am revamping themes that amused people ten years ago.
It is interesting, though... I definitely notice a trend to the change in theming. In the old days, GTK2 was harder to theme on than GTK3, but a lot more stable and freedom oriented. You could do a lot more adjustments with it. With the changes in Gnome, theming changed to being based around the Unico and Adwaita engines. This is due to them being the most supported and stable. Theming in GTK3 means that the theme may break within one update.
The result of this is a slew of themes that generally all look the same to me. Same design, just someone changed the colors. Flat and looking like construction paper cutouts- fine for South Park but not what I like to see on my own screen. Being very mechanical, seeing the objects on my screen look like 3D physical mechanical objects is far more appealing to me. I am certain that I cannot be the only person that is not happy with the current trend in display appearance.
It makes a person wonder if the lack of more active themers today is a result of all that. Building them went from being an enjoyable challenge to being a tedious pain in the backport only to get results that may break or look generic.
In the future, that may change.
With regards the login screenshot I had to use my smartphone when creating a video on how to change Desktop Environments using the 'cog' at login time.

I also like a Clean, not cluttered desktop.
My smartphone isn't very smart. I thought about using it to make a photo but I know my camera. Another option is to create a mockup image that shows what it looks like which would be pretty easy to do.
I recall when I first opened the Zorin screen, how much I liked the glowing look of the Zorin Start-here icon. Would really like to incorporate that, but unsure about how others might feel about my making a Zorin logo and making it look like a different start menu. No one cares about Azenis, anymore and I can get away with that. Probably, the modifications I am learning to make will steer in a new direction that won't be the original theme I started with. I have taken elements from Delorean-dark, Vertex-dark and Azenis all together.
For my own purposes, learning and amusement.
I guess it's like customizing the front grill of the Ford Falcon - no one cares and they may even admire the work. But do it on a current model and whoever drafted it might think, "What, my current working model isn't good enough for ya?" They may not take any action on the thought, it's more a thing of respect to not trod on toes.
I think it will be a long while before I have the confidence and know how to trust such things on machines other than my own. I am in two minds about going to those lengths, part of me thinks that others must step up into the role; another part thinks that others should step up into that role.
Every attempt had my computer saying to me, "It's broken bubba, get over it." Maybe for another, it would be easy to solve. But I did manage to extract the more essential red Preface icons from it; a couple hundred of the icons total. I am not using them for anything, but stored them in several places in case I should come across anyone that wants a copy.
See, I can stumble and blunder through with some success, but a knowledgeable person would probably do it better. ...And faster. I don't have a great deal of time to devout to it. Maybe one day I will be a knowledgeable person and can provide things on gnome-look, but not yet.
Considering the time loop I am stuck in, I have wondered if I should have started on Zorin 5 O.S., instead of 12.
Did download a copy of 5, just in case.
Given that wallpaper, I would have liked to see the product. Of course, my mind has already warped your intentions by adding in 1950's era rat rods and the classic diner setting.
Back on XP, I'd made a Steam Locomotive era setting; not quite steam punk, but not quite historically accurate, either. Clashed with the brightly colored start menu in a bad way. Your Zorin neon idea with a bit of classic cars would have rounded it out, maybe.
The weird thing with that particular wallpaper is that I think I made it using PearOS!
Swarfendor437 wrote: The weird thing with that particular wallpaper is that I think I made it using PearOS!
That is pretty funny. All on the same team, right?
Never heard of Pear, but there is undoubtedly a great deal I am ignorant about. Curious about Puppy Linux. I don't have a spare machine to test it out on and my currrent machine barely survived my two adventures into Virtualbox.
The main modification though, is the min, restore, close button. The Azenis set is tightly packed together and doesn't fit well, today. It had the negative side effect of users missing their mark and hitting close when they meant maximize and so on, as well.
As you can see, a bit more space on a longer set.
Hi, PearOS was written by a French guy, David Tavares. Rumours abound that Apple shut him down but when it closed down his statement was that he had sold it to an undisclosed company and was unable to provide any more links to the OS. For a while Softpedia kept the links going until they were forcibly told to take it down. Puppy Linux is a lightweight distribution but my favourite fork of it was MacPup - still going I think.
Your work is looking good!
What is the difference between distros?
Not so easy to answer.
I read up a bit on Pear, also on Pup, Pinguy and several others. It seems like many are Ubuntu based. Linus Torvalds prefers Fedora. Su, yum, Apt, apt-get, asking what makes distros different is like asking what the best stats are for your D&D character. The guru is going to answer: "Depends on what you want." Ok, well, I never played D&D.
Anyone that ever had a PS1 and played that game at 3am, watching in horror as Aeris dies when a kid, knows exactly what I mean. You can configure a great deal and in the end, it didn't matter who you chose to be your warrior, your healer or your mage; It's a bit fluid and you can mix and match a bit - you end up succeeding all the same, no matter what your original plan for the stats was. I have experience so far with only one distro. I can bet that there are more rigid distros... But I don't know. Learning how little I know is pretty stark since I switched from M.S. to Zorin.
OK, Potted history lesson. Richard Stalllman was working on an OS called Hurd and the code he was writing was GNU (= GNU is Not Unix) and was trying to develop a kernel. Linus had been working on something called Minix and created a kernel that made GNU work. The Linux Kernel in respect of Computer Operating Systems that use it, needs GNU in order for it to work, so no GNU, no LInux. Linus is for Open Source, Stallman is for Free Software which means free of all proprietary blobs that may be needed for certain hardware to work that was made for that other OS. Next up we come up with the main software houses, Red Hat and Debian - these are the two main differences in GNU/Linux as Red Hat uses .rpm (redhat package manager) and Debian uses .deb pkg manager on which Ubuntu is based. Red Hat is an Enterprise Software House and is found on a lot of Servers and it is costly to purchase. Main distributions either charge or allow approved free alternatives such as 'Community Driven' forks of the two main types. Red Hat's community edition is 'Fedora'. Debian is in some contexts both a business and a community. Next up we have the Desktop Environments - basically the 'front end' of a distribution and this is where it could be argued it gets messy. Initially, the two prominent 'mainstream' Desktop Environments were Gnome and Konqueror (KDE). Gnome was noted for it's 'pure' GNU/Linux look, with the main taskbar at the top of the screen, with the bottom panel/taskbar simply showing the workspace indicator and something else which alludes me. KDE on the other hand had a more Windows-centric feel to it, with it's panel/taskbar at the bottom with a taskbar that was similar to Windows. So a lot of migrations to GNU/Linux from Windows, including myself, was to gravitate towards distributions with a KDE desktop. For sighted people KDE does look nice but sadly its accessibility elements have always been limited compared to Gnome's. Rather tellingly, Red Hat and Debian are American. Red Hat gets its name from a Red Fedora which main characters in the organisation wear. Debian has a romantic story about it. The Debian system was devised by Ian Woods who met his intended (Debbie) in a Coffee bar (sadly Ian died a few years back, a sad loss to the GNU/Linux wider community) which provided us with the name of Debian - a marriage between Deb and Ian.
Now Debian has for sometime always maintained a 'Nix type installation interface which looks like a coloured DOS terminal and could be off-putting for new users - that has changed. Now in addition to the two main Desktop Environments that have dominated the GNU/Linux scene for many years there is LXDE (Light X Desktop Environment - X being the element of GNU/Linux that controls what you see on screen. So if at boot time you can't get to the login screen you could try Ctrl+ Alt+ F2 to get to a terminal login and once you had entered your user name and password you could then type 'startx' to bring up the desktop. Then there is Xfce which used to be XFce (XForms common enviornment) but after a couple of rewrites, it doesn't use the Xforms toolkit any more, so now it is just Xfce. Then we have other Desktop Environments, Cairo Dock DE, Cinnamon DE, and MATE oh and nearly forgot one more, Enlightenment - not to be confused with Buddhist doctrine! And thereby lies another problem faced by the Gnome DE - it's symbol is a human foot - something frowned upon by Buddhists as it is the lowest part of the body. On the European front, the main players are SuSE from Germany. In France we had Mandrake which is what I was advised to learn on, which I did. Mandrake grew and merged with a Brasilian GNU/Linux company, Connectiva, and Mandriva was born. Sadly in an attempt to save money as finances at Mandriva were getting into trouble, what did they do? They fired Gael Duval, its founder and developer of Mandrake - he now runs his own company Ulteo which promotes the best of Windows and GNU/Linux so that you can have a Windows and GNU/Linux servers hosting the best apps for Enterprise and others to have access to. He is also promoting E - an alternative to Android for pure privacy - I would love to install it on my One Plus 3T but fear I might brick it - Mobile phones are one area that I have not messed with.
Going back stateside, there was a company called Lindows which was taken to court by Microsoft as being to close to sounding like Windows and M$ lost the case. Subsequently the name was transferred to Microsoft while the money won from M$ was used to promote Lindows OS replaement, Linspire. I never purchased a copy but used the community edition, Freespire. It was using 'apt' to install packages which was the backend to C'N'R (Click 'N' Run) - basically it just installed a package with all dependencies so that you were not having to use something like Synaptic which asks you to install a load of other stuff needed to run the app - it was an attempt to create the equivalent of Windows Programs and Features. It was just getting very polished when Michael Robertson, the founder of Linspire, sold it off (controversially without a shareholders meeting approval) to XandrOS (XandrOS was founded by people who were no longer working for MS Office's main rival back in the day that gave us Word Perfect.) So how it all began with myself. An IT Technician, and former student of where I currently work, gave me a copy of Knoppix (a free German OS software) which I used for Data Recovery on student's notebooks if Windows crashed - but it was beaten hands down by Freespire once when Knoppix could not pickup both the micro-usb floppy and the DVD-ROM on a Dell Latitude - what did blow me away with Knoppix was a female voice stating "All systems initiated". And the main game attraction then which you could play solo or on the internet in live mode was Frozen Bubble. So then it was Mandrake, a purchase of Vector Linux (with Enlightenment - you'd get wallpaper with moving elements in it - A British OS if I'm not mistaken, a purchase of SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional which came on numerous DVD's giving you the choice of either a KDE install or a Gnome install, PCLinuxOS 2007 (another distro that ditched its founding father after he had taken an agreed 12 month sabbatical - shame on them), Lycoris (wish I'd bought the gamepak for that - the car racing game looked stunning - Lycoris was swallowed up by Mandrake), Sabayon (Gentoo based) - my favourite rendition of this distro was 3.6f - I think it's at 18 or more now with different flavoured desktops but the main one at the time was KDE (I think but happy to be shot down!), Musix (from Argentina), AVLinux from America - this was a unique amalgamation of Software that was aimed fair and square at musicians - it even included muscial score generating software that could be printed to an HP printer in Live Mode! One of my favourite splash screens at boot time was the Brasilian OS Epidemic - Imagine all those Windows users at work waking up to see a glowing hazchem symbol with the throbbing word of 'Epidemic' - they'd have thought they'd caught a virus! I've even tried distros created in a non-English interface 'ututo' from Argentina - nice interface. Then in the far east we have Berry Linux. Mustn't forget the late great Dreamlinux, Ubuntu (of course - I don't like how it has now come to think it is more than GNU/Linux when at boot time it 'announces' "Ubuntu with Linux" - more the other way round) this distro is from South Africa and founded (or should that be 'funded'? ) by multi-billionaire first paying citizen to go into space, Mark Shuttleworth, the Steve Jobs of the GNU/Linux world. Vinux, based on Ubuntu specifically designed as a distro for people with Visual Impairments, hence the name, a British distribution which whilst I applaud its aims, was not enamoured with it's use of the 'Eye of Horus' as its logo, which was also used by a now defunct distribution. Now I cannot go without mentioning Ultimate Ubuntu which got into trouble with Canonical and is now known as Ultimate Edition. There used to be a great Oz derivative too. More recent contenders include Elementary OS (which looks pretty but I can't stand it), Makulu Linux, FerenOS, Ubuntu MATE, Deepin, Trisquel - At version 6 this was the first GNU/Linux distro I had ever come across whose first menu option was to launch in live mode with screenreader - that is how it should be done! And finally that brings us to Zorin where I joined at Zorin OS4 and after only a couple of weeks contributing to the forum I found myself in the position of moderator!

The fact is, there is a very good chance that, last night, Amazon "announced" a service that will never exist in reality.
Why did Amazon do that?
The answer is free advertising. Even better: free advertising the night before the biggest e-commerce shopping day of the year, Cyber Monday.
Günstige Werbung zum Nulltarif vor dem großen Online-Shopping-Tag Cyber-Monday in USA. Wenn dem so ist: Sehr schlau von Brezos, muss man zugeben.


Best Android Lookout : Asus Google Nexus 7 tablet - Android 4.1 " Jelly Bean "
Asus Google Nexus 7 tablet - Android 4.1 " Jelly Bean "
Google in collaboration with Asus finally released their very own tablet Nexus 7 mid July 2012 running on the latest Jelly Bean 4.1 Android OS. The Nexus 7 Android tablet is expected to reach Indian markets by September, but its available on ebay for around Rs. 16,000 (8 GB version) & Rs. 20000 (16 GB version). But the US pricing of the Nexus 7 is 199$ & 250$ for the 8 GB & 16 GB version respectively, so you have to pay Rs. 5000-6000 more or less to get the Nexus 7 before it officially releases in India. Using a Nvidia Tegra 3 chipset , the Nexus 7 Android tablet is capable of easily supporting the latest games made and even the future games well. HD videos will play flawlessly on this android tablet.
Advice: People buying the Asus Google Nexus 7 tablet online in India or other countries where it is not officially launched have to face the fact that Asus will not be giving any support to them until the official release in one's country.
-GSM/ CDMA networks not supported no call, sms or mms support.
-Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) 802.11 b/g/n.
-Android OS 4.1, Jelly Bean.
-Nvidia Tegra 3 T30L chipset.
-Quad core 1.2 GHz Cortex A9 processor (1.3GHz in single core mode).
-ULP Geforce 416 MHz GPU.
Advice: The Nexus 7 tablet will be able to run almost all of the HD games, it uses a 416 MHz ULP Geforce GPU. The GPU is only a little underpowered when compared to the expensive Android devices Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime, IdeaTab K2 / LePad K2, Acer Iconia Tab A510, Acer Iconia Tab A700, LG Optimus 4X HD, HTC One X, ZTE Era, ZTE PF 100, ZTE T98, Toshiba AT270, Toshiba AT300 (Excite 10), Asus Tablet 610, Fuhu Inc. nabi 2 Tablet, Tesla Model S which are powered with Quad core 1.4 GHz Cortex A9 processor (1.5GHz in single core mode) with 520 MHz ULP Geforce GPU and ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity 700 (TF700T) which uses the same 520 MHz GPU and a 1.6 Quad core Cortex A9 processor (1.7GHz in single core mode). But most of those cost more than the Nexus 7 and plus you get Jelly Bean 4.1 out of the box for the Nexus 7, thus making it the best for its price.
- LCD capacitive touchscreen with LED backlit and IPS technology, 16M colours.
- 7 inch screen with Gorilla Glass.
- 800 X 1280 resolution with 216 ppi pixel density.
- 1 GB DDR3 RAM @ 667MHz.
- No memory card slot.
- 8 GB or 16GB internal memory depending which version you buy.
- USB OTG is for only some device types, presently USB storage is not supported (You may have to " root " your Nexus 7 tablet and use " Stickmount " application as experimented by some people ) .
Advice: Only go for the Nexus 7 android tablet right now if your fine with the internal memory, because updates to the USB OTG are nowhere in the news right now. Off course if your comfortable with storing files using the Cloud, you can go ahead. Memory is @ 667 MHz again is a bit less as compared to high frequency of the Asus Eee Pad and others but with Jelly Bean 4.1 as the new OS, everything will be butter smooth.
-Front facing 1.2 megapixel camera as the primary camera for video chatting.
-No camera for clicking pics.
-The battery used here is a Standard Li-Ion 4325 mAh.
- If the Nexus 7 android tablet not officially launched in your country, you should wait a little more because you'll end up paying extra dollars if you buy it online.
- In India you have to pay Rs. 5000 - 6000 more for the 8 GB version, so a total of around Rs. 16000 and around Rs. 20000 for the 16 GB version of the Nexus 7 Android tablet. The actual price of the tablet in US dollars is 199$ & 250$ respectively for the 8 GB & 16 GB versions.
- Jelly Bean 4.1 is the latest Android OS and its the best among the rest, so its a complete worth. Watch the review of Jelly Bean 4.1 here.
- Jelly Bean 4.1 uses the hardware perfectly, so it should perform better than the expensive devices having high end hardware but running on Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.
- The Nexus 7 is a total worth for its price, even though certain features like hdmi out and micro SD card are not supported, you will be able to run almost any application and game given the hardware.
- Its Google's very own Android tablet, so it will receive updates easily without any fuss. Google has always given first priority to its Android devices like Jelly Bean 4.1 is latest and its out first on Samsung Galaxy Nexus & even Samsung Google Nexus S is confirmed to get Jelly Bean Android 4.1 even though the phone is almost 2 years old. Hence Google has proved that it will keep its devices up to date with latest software.
I will update the prices of the Nexus 7 Android tablet and availability in my future posts so keep visiting :-) !

region, Eastern Europe
Alternative Titles: Basarabia, Besarabya, Bessarabiya
Bessarabia, Russian Bessarabiya, Romanian Basarabia, Turkish Besarabya, region in eastern Europe that passed successively, from the 15th to 20th century, to Moldavia, the Ottoman Empire, Russia, Romania, the Soviet Union, and Ukraine and Moldova. It is bounded by the Prut River on the west, the Dniester River on the north and east, the Black Sea on the southeast, and the Chilia arm of the Danube River delta on the south.
Although the early history of Bessarabia is obscure, it is known that Greek colonies were founded along its Black Sea coast (7th century bc) and that it was probably included in the kingdom of Dacia (2nd century ad). The Slavs began to enter the area in the 6th century, but their settlement was interrupted by invasions of other peoples from the east (ending with the Mongol invasion in the 13th century).
At the end of the 14th century the southern portion of the region became part of Walachia (the name Bessarabia probably is derived from the Walachian dynasty Basarab); and in the 15th century the entire province was incorporated into the principality of Moldavia. Shortly thereafter the Turks invaded and captured Akkerman and Chilia (1484) and annexed the southern portion of Bessarabia, dividing it into two sancaks (districts) of the Ottoman Empire. The remainder of Bessarabia fell under Turkish domination when Moldavia submitted to the Turks in the 16th century. The region remained under Turkish control until the 19th century.
Then Russia, whose interest in the area had developed during the 18th century (it had occupied the region five times between 1711 and 1812), acquired Bessarabia and half of Moldavia (Treaty of Bucharest, 1812). The name Bessarabia was applied to the entire region. Russia retained control of the region until World War I (with the exception of a strip of southern Bessarabia, which was in Moldavia's possession from 1856 to 1878). During the beginning of the 19th century, Russia granted Bessarabia autonomy (1818–28) and allowed it a Moldavian governor and archbishop. But by the end of the century, Russification in both the civil and ecclesiastical administrations was the dominant policy.

A nationalist movement developed in Bessarabia after the Russian Revolution of 1905; and, in November 1917 (after the Russian revolutions of 1917), a council (sfatul țărei) was established. It declared Bessarabia's independence on Jan. 24, 1918, and voted to unite with Romania in December. The Treaty of Paris (Oct. 28, 1920) confirmed this union, but the Soviet Union never recognized Romania's right to the province. After the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact was signed (Aug. 23, 1939), the Soviet Union demanded (June 26, 1940) that Romania cede Bessarabia and the northern portion of Bukovina. The Romanian government complied; Soviet troops entered the region on June 28. In August 1940 Moldavia, or the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, was created out of the central districts of Bessarabia and a strip of Ukrainian territory on the other side of the Dniester River. Kishinyov (now Chişinău) became Moldavia's capital. The northern region of Bessarabia (Khotin) and the coastal plain from the Danube to the Dniester were incorporated into Ukraine, or the Ukrainian S.S.R. During World War II, Romanians occupied Bessarabia and temporarily reorganized it as part of Romania. The Soviet Union seized it in 1944, and the territorial arrangements of 1940 were reestablished. Bessarabia remained divided after Ukraine and Moldavia (now Moldova) declared independence in 1991.
Bessarabia contains much of archaeological interest, including mounds and barrows of early epochs, remains of a wall built by the Roman emperor Trajan, some traces of Greek and Roman towns, and some forts along the Dniester built by the Genoese in the 14th century. Bessarabia is a favoured area for agriculture, chiefly for cereals, fruit, and wine. See also Moldova.
Formerly known as Bessarabia, this region was an integral part of the Romanian principality of Moldavia until 1812, when it was ceded to Russia by its suzerain, the sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Bessarabia remained a province of the Russian Empire until after World War I, when it…

Crescent City Sports Rivalry Series has pair of district showdowns this weekend live on CST
NEW ORLEANS – The Crescent City Sports Rivalry Series doubles down this week with a pair of district championships on the line.
On Friday night at Tulane University's Yulman Stadium, District 10-3A unbeatens St. Charles Catholic and De La Salle face off, and on Saturday afternoon at Joe Yenni Stadium in Metairie, District 9-5A rivals John Curtis Christian and Archbishop Rummel meet.
Both games will air live on Cox Sports Television, the New Orleans-based regional sports network, and will also stream live on CrescentCitySports.com. Air time for the St. Charles Catholic-De La Salle matchup is 7 p.m. Friday, with coverage of the John Curtis-Rummel showdown beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday. Ken Berthelot and Wayde Keiser will describe the action for both games.
All four teams head into Week 9 of the regular season undefeated in district play.
De La Salle (5-2, 3-0), which sits at No. 5 in the Crescent City Sports Class 3A rankings, returns to Yulman Stadium for the first time since its Division II semifinal victory over St. Thomas More last November, punching the Cavaliers' first ticket to a state championship game in more than a half-century.
St. Charles Catholic (5-3, 3-0), which played for a state title in 2016, is looking to hand De La Salle its first district loss since 2015.
On Saturday, John Curtis (8-0, 4-0) and Rummel (7-1, 4-0) meet for the sixth time in four seasons. The winner of the regular-season game between the Patriots and Raiders has gone on to claim the outright Catholic League title each of the last three years.
Curtis is No. 1 and Rummel is ninth in the CCS Class 5A rankings, and both are looking to secure first-round byes in the Division I playoffs.
In addition to the on-field matchup, the coaches bring a historic perspective to the game. Patriots coach J.T. Curtis and Raiders coach Jay Roth have combined for 804 career victories, the most combined wins heading into a game in Louisiana high school football history. Curtis' 578 wins in 50 seasons are the second-most ever at any level of football, while Roth has won 226 games in 24 years.
The Curtis-Rummel game will also air on WGSO 990 AM with Ken Trahan, Easten Roth and Phil Greco on the call.
Since its launch in 2002, Cox Sports Television's reach has grown from humble beginnings to a much larger reach. The Gulf South Sports Leader is now available to more than 4 million viewers. CST is available to video distributors and is a part of Cox Communications, LLC, one of the largest telecommunications companies in the country.
Crescent City Sports will feature live streaming of no fewer than 30 high school sporting events throughout the 2018-19 school year. Additionally, in cooperation with CST, CCS will also produce up to 10 more events that will both be televised on the regional sports network and streamed on CCS' website.

Q: Targeting an iFrame once with jQuery I have a series of frames (4) which are used in a page to create loading of dynamic content through Ajax calls.
In each of these frames I target parent level elements and update them with there respective content e.g.
$("#loadingGrid1",top.document).show();
$("#frameSkills",top.document).hide();

In jQuery is there a way to instead of targeting specific elements on the parent page multiple times, simply target the page once into a variable e.g.
var parentPage=$('#frameSkills',top.document);

And then use this variable to apply content like $(parentPage > #loadingGrid1).hide()
Hope I've explained what I'm after enough. Basically, I'm having to call "top.document" in every jQuery selector I make and it seems like a waste of energy.

A: A Jquery object can be used as a context just like a DOM node.
var parentPage = $('#frameSkills',top.document);
$("#myselector", parentPage).dostuff();

Or you can use the find function:
parentPage.find("#myselector").dostuff();

A: What about Delegates?

A: Something like this seems cleanest to me:
var page = $(top.document); //Define once
page.find("#loadingGrid1").show();
page.find("#frameSkills").hide();

When you call $(selector, context) you're (in all cases like this anyway) calling context.find(selector) inside anyway...might as well make it easy to read/write/chain as you go.

Watch: Steph Curry, Marquese Chriss and others working out individually at practice facility
Stan Szeto-USA TODAY Sports
June 28, 2020 5:47 pm PT
While 22-teams are preparing to return to training camp for the restart of the 2019-20 NBA campaign, the Golden State Warriors season is over. With the league's worst record, the Warriors are one of eight teams staying on the outside of the league's Orlando bubble.
Despite their season coming to a close, the Warriors are staying busy to start their early offseason. With their San Francisco practice facility reopening its doors, players are returning to the floor for individual work.
The Golden State Warriors Twitter account shared a video of a group of players working out at the Chase Center practice facility. Stephen Curry, Jordan Poole, Damion Lee, Marquese Chriss and Juan Toscano-Anderson were spotted getting shots up.

Although the Warriors are just training individually at the moment, it's vital for Curry to be on the court with his new teammates. The two-time Most Valuable Player was held to only a handful of games due to injuries. Outside of Lee, Curry had limited playing time with Golden State's newcomers like Chriss, Poole and Toscano-Anderson. Curry can use the early offseason to familiarize himself with the new cast of Warriors.
