The BMW E70 is the second-generation BMW X5 mid-size luxury crossover SUV. It replaced the BMW X5 (E53) in July 2006. It was manufactured alongside the BMW X6 at BMW's Greer, South Carolina plant in the U.S. and BMW's facility in Toluca, Mexico.

Design
The E70 BMW X5 was  wider,  longer; with a  longer wheelbase, but remains at the height of the E53 X5 at .

Technology

The xDrive AWD system updates previewed in the facelifted X5 have continued with further detail improvements for the E70. It uses a double wishbone suspension at the front. The manual transmission is entirely dropped, leaving only the automatic transmission.

The E70 features many new technological advancements for this class as standard equipment including BMW's iDrive system, electronic 'joystick' gearshift (no mechanical connection to the gearbox to save space in the console), LED taillamps, the first ever all-polypropylene single module fender module, and options such as heads-up display (HUD), active steering, active damping, and Dynamic Drive which uses active anti-roll bars employing a hydraulic servo in the middle to actively counteract body roll. The X5 has a rollover risk of 17.4%.

The interior of the X5 is completely new. It has a large center-mounted display screen and the simplified iDrive, a man-machine interface system also found in the rest of the BMW model range. The E70 further incorporates many comfort options such as a glass panorama-roof, and, for the first time in a BMW, an optional third row seat which has increased the seating capacity in E70 to 7 passengers, addressing criticism of the E53 model which had been regarded as being slightly too small for this market segment.

The E70 is also the first production vehicle to use FlexRay, a new extremely fast electrical bus system; it is only used for the control of the chassis damping system.  The new 'joy-stick'-style electronic space-saving shifter has since been adopted in the new 2008 BMW 5 Series.

For the 2010 model year the X5 received the new iDrive system and the BMW individual audio system along with various other minor updates.

Technical features which other BMW models use also:

 Active steering- changes the steering ratio depending on the speed and driving style
Adaptive Drive with Active Roll Stabilization and adaptive shock absorbers
 Head-up display - critical information projected onto the windshield
Comfort Access - keyless access and engine start
 Daytime running lights on the "Corona Rings" around the main headlight units
 Four-zone climate control

New is the Park Distance system that can be integrated into the image of the optional rearview camera.

During the Volkswagen emissions violations, an X5 diesel was used as an example of a compliant vehicle.

BMW X5 M (2009-13)

The BMW X5 M is a high-performance derivative of the X5. It was introduced to the press at the New York Auto Show in April 2009 and started appearing in BMW dealerships in September 2009. It competes with cars such as the Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.  At the time of its launch, it was the most powerful car in its class.

The BMW X5 M is the first xDrive all-wheel-drive vehicle from M GmbH along with the X6 M. The M offers the same utility as the regular X5, with the addition of the V8 M TwinPower Turbo, a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 delivering  at 5,750 rpm and peak torque of , available between 1,500 and 5,650 rpm. The S63 engine is a high output variation of the N63 power unit.

The X5 M can sprint from a standstill to  in 4.0 seconds, and a quarter-mile (402 m) time of 12.2 seconds with a trap speed of  was recorded by Car and Driver magazine. In the same test, the X5 M bested the 0– and quarter-mile times of the 2009 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, the 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8, and the 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged.  In wet conditions, the X5 M went around the Top Gear Test Track in 1:28.2, 5.1 seconds faster than the Audi Q7 V12 TDI.

Coupled with special suspension specifically optimized for M that features Adaptive Drive and the newly developed M Servotronic power steering, the performance Sport Activity Vehicle promises very competent handling. Other high-tech features include launch control for maximum acceleration and a six-speed M Sport automatic transmission optimized for performance. Drivers can manually select gears using either paddles or an electronic gear selector lever. Electronically controlled, variable power distribution to the front and rear axle prevents the tendency to oversteer or understeer, before DSC Dynamic Stability Control is required to cut in.

The BMW X5 M features the biggest brakes on a BMW production vehicle, with 15.55" (395x36mm) rotors up front clamped by four-piston calipers, and 15.2" (385x24mm) rotors at the rear with single-piston calipers. Although traction control is standard, the M Dynamic Mode (MDM) reduces the effect of the system, allowing some wheelspin and drift-type cornering.

For the 2013 model lineup, BMW introduced the M Performance Package available for the xDrive35i and xDrive50i. The M Performance Package models have nearly identical features to the X5 M (sport suspension, wider fenders, staggered wheels, etc.) excluding the quad-tip exhaust, headlights, and engines. The M Performance Package also bumped up the engine output for both models - an additional  for the xDrive35i and  for the xDrive50i (torque was also increased by 30 lb-ft for both).

M Performance Parts were available for the X5 M. These include black kidney grilles, steel pedals, a sport steering wheel and M rims.

Engines

Petrol engines

Diesel engines

Since 2008, vehicles sold with diesel engines in the United States are equipped with selective catalysator using Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to reduce NOx emissions, while vehicles sold in Europe had a bypass exhaust pipe only due the regulations which ended up in Dieselgate.

Transmissions
All models include a 6-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.
The new 8-speed transmission is standard in the xDrive50i and xDrive35i from 2011 model year.

2010/2011 X5 "Life Cycle Impulse" (LCI) Changes
In 2010 the X5 underwent a "Life Cycle Impulse" (LCI) update, debuted at the New York Auto Show in April 2010 and introduced as 2011 models in BMW North America markets. The changes included revised styling, primarily of the front and rear bumpers, air intakes, headlights, and taillights as well as new exterior and interior colors and new options combination. It also included BMW Group's latest infotainment system. HD Radio, previously an option, was now standard on all X5 models in North America.

More significantly, a new range of engines, all turbocharged and with direct injection was introduced.  In the North American market, available gasoline power trains are the xDrive 35i twin-scroll turbo six-cylinder and the xDrive50i twin turbo V8, both coupled to an eight-speed automatic Steptronic transmission. These petrol engines are more powerful than their predecessors, with the 35i also providing improved fuel mileage and reduced emissions. The xDrive 35d turbodiesel carries over in the NA market with the six-speed transmission unchanged from the previous model year.  The xDrive40d was also introduced along with a revised xDrive30d, but neither was available in the North American market.

The X5M engine and transmission remains the same.

BMW X5 Security Plus
It is a variant with safety glass, heavy-duty material and ballistics-resistant steel modifications. It comes with a 4.8l engine with Steptronic automatic transmission. Armour is rated to safety class VR4 and is configured to carry a roof mounted 7.62mm, AK-47 assault rifle. The vehicle sells for approximately $220,000.

Vision Efficient Dynamics
It is a hybrid electric vehicle model featuring 2.0 L four-cylinder variable twin-turbo diesel engine rated  and  at 2,000–2,250 rpm, a 15-kilowatt electric motor driven by a lithium ion battery pack, eight-speed transmission developed by BMW and ZF, roof-mounted solar panels, 19-inch light alloy wheels with reduced ventilation. It was unveiled in 2008 at the Geneva Auto Show.

And I have great news! I have no less than 5 weeks of comics prepared for you guys. It's a little different than what I've been doing so far, so let's see if you guys appreciate. Also, will all the amazing feedback you guys give me, I decided to keep the website! I am still working on a new, more "comic like" design, and then let's see how it works.
College in near over, and with that I plan on turning my attention to the comics and conventions. Can't wait!!! Thank you guys for visiting me every Monday, Exploding Comics is really important to me! I am more excited with the website than ever!
I feel so identified with the pant pooping! Ehr, I mean, because of a friend of mine. A person I barely know, actually. Totally not me. SO I think you were talking about college?
More "comic-like", you say? That means we will be seeing you throwing rays from your eyes and fire from your mouth soon, right?
I died laughing with your comment.
Hahah yes to the rays and also speech balloons coming from all over!

Slack Reveals Losses Amid Rapid Growth in Plan to Go Public
Olivia Zaleski
Ellen Huet
Apr 26 2019, 6:39 PM Apr 27 2019, 5:02 AM April 26 2019, 6:39 PM April 27 2019, 5:02 AM
(Bloomberg) -- Slack Technologies Inc. submitted its plans to U.S. regulators to go public through an unusual direct listing.
The workplace-messaging company's filing Friday confirms its plans to avoid a traditional public offering and instead list its shares directly on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SK.
The filing gives potential investors their first look at key financial information, revealing stable net losses against a backdrop of rapid revenue growth. Slack had a net loss for the year ending Jan. 31 of $139 million on revenue of $401 million, compared to a net loss of $140 million on revenue of $221 million in the same period a year earlier. Previously, it has occasionally shared annual recurring revenue and a few other metrics.
The filing also reveals that Slack's Class B shares have been changing hands in private transactions for as much as $23.41 in the year through January. The lowest price at which they traded during that period was $8.37.
In private deals in the last two months, shareholders have sold stock at prices as high as $25 or $26 a share, which implies a company valuation of about $16 billion, people with knowledge of the matter have said.
Slack's filing highlights what it considers to be a key metric -- net dollar retention rate -- which measures the annual rate of revenue growth from existing customers. That rate was 143 percent for the year ending Jan. 31, compared with 152 percent the previous year.
No Dilution
The direct listing will allow the San Francisco-based company's investors to sell their shares without their holdings being diluted by Slack issuing new stock or waiting for a lockup period to expire. Such listings are rare. Most companies, including so-called unicorns such as Lyft Inc. and Pinterest Inc. this year, go public to raise cash. But in the past few years, private capital has been easy to come by for technology startups.
Slack's biggest stockholder is the venture capital firm Accel, which holds 24 percent of the outstanding shares, followed by the venture firm Andreessen Horowitz with about 13 percent, according to the filing.
Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Stewart Butterfield holds an 8.6 percent stake, which would be worth about $1.4 billion at a $16 billion valuation. Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Cal Henderson holds a 3.4 percent stake.
Dual-Class Structure
Like many of its tech peers, Slack will retain a dual-class stock structure, giving owners of its Class B stock 10 votes per share. Those shares will convert to Class A shares with only one vote when they are sold. All Class B shares will convert to Class A by a date that remains unspecified in the filing.
Slack is choosing a direct listing because it doesn't need the cash or publicity of an IPO, a person familiar with the matter has said. The company was valued at $7.1 billion in a $427 million funding round in August.
The company had more than 10 million daily active users as of the end of January, including more than 600,000 organizations with three or more users. Some 88,000 of them are paying customers, the filing shows.
Key Metric
The filing highlights what Slack considers to be a key metric, net dollar retention rate, which measures the annual rate of revenue growth from existing customers. That rate was 143 percent for the year ending Jan. 31, compared with 152 percent the previous year.
Slack cautions that it remains vulnerable to competition if it fails to keep pace technologically or fails to develop and expand its sales. It lists Microsoft Corp. as its primary rival, but also notes that companies including Alphabet Inc., Cisco Systems Inc. and Facebook Inc. are developing related products.
In a direct listing, a company transfers its shares to an exchange and lets them trade publicly without an underwriter -- and without typical underwriter fees. Companies still rely on banks to advise them, though. Slack is working with Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Allen & Co. on the share sale, according to its filing.

Q: Installed pygraphviz on Windows 7, but unable to import it; can't find _graphviz I am trying to install pygraphviz on my 64-bit installation of Windows 7 SP1. I was able to get the usual python setup.py install command to work by correcting the following lines of the setup.py file:
include_dirs = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\include"
library_dirs = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\lib\release\lib"

When I try to import it, though, I get the following error:
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pygraphviz
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "pygraphviz\__init__.py", line 58, in <module>
    from .agraph import AGraph, Node, Edge, Attribute, ItemAttribute
  File "pygraphviz\agraph.py", line 26, in <module>
    from . import graphviz as gv
  File "pygraphviz\graphviz.py", line 28, in <module>
    _graphviz = swig_import_helper()
  File "pygraphviz\graphviz.py", line 20, in swig_import_helper
    import _graphviz
ImportError: No module named _graphviz

This is puzzling because the directory pygraphviz gets installed to does contain a _graphviz.pyd file. If I go to that directory and try to import it, I get a different ImportError:
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pygraphviz>python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

>>> import _graphviz
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

So as far as I can tell, the _graphviz.pyd file seems to have been improperly compiled (I am using mingw32, having edited my distutils.cfg file accordingly). I can't find any other instances of this problem from other pygraphviz users. What am I doing wrong?

A: Here's what I did for a perfectly working install. Running Python 2.7.8 using the Anaconda distribution on Windows 64-bit SP1 as well.

*

*Download and install Graphviz 2.38 from here.

*Download the binary installer for pygraphviz from here. Use the appropriate version (pygraphviz‑1.2.win‑amd64‑py2.7.exe). Install. Make sure the installer detects your correct PYTHONPATH.

Realtors barred from racist posts on social media after barrage of complaints
Business // Real Estate
R.A. Schuetz
The National Association of Realtors, which has 1.4 million members, proposed in October a rule banning members from making discriminatory comments on social media.
Steve Gonzales, Houston Chronicle / Staff photographer
The National Association of Realtors voted Friday to bar members from making discriminatory posts on social media.
"Combatting and overcoming bigotry and injustice starts with each of us," said Vince Malta, president of the National Association of Realtors, in a statement shortly after the vote.
The proposal was put into motion by George Floyd's death in May. During the protests against police tactics, which included an officer kneeling on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes, many took to social media to voice their views, and real estate associations across the nation began receiving complaints about racist posts.
Messages by Houston real estate agents included one that said "I think black people bring out the worst in us" and another that said "Just take the fire truck hoses and start moving them out!"

After the complaints, the National Association of Realtors proposed banning harassing speech based on race or other protected classes. The organization, which represents 1.4 million real estate agents, also proposed making its code of ethics applicable to real estate agents' conduct at all times, even when they are not working on a transaction. The proposals prompted an outcry by some who said the move violated their freedom of speech.
Others said the rules were required by law because real estate agents cannot discriminate against protected classes, including people of different races, and often reach clients through social media.
The proposals go in effect immediately, though they do not apply to any behavior that took place before Nov. 13. Under the new policy, Realtors cannot make social media statements harassing people of a certain race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation or gender identity.
Michica "Mish" Guillory, a Houston real estate broker who owns a real estate school, praised the change.
"As Realtors, when we joined this prestigious organization, we chose to abide by laws that state we must treat the public fairly," she said. "I believe in free press and the freedom of speech. But freedom of speech does not mean freedom from repercussions."
If a local association, such as the Houston Association of Realtors, receives a complaint alleging a violation of the new policy, it will hold a hearing to assess the case. Violators could lose membership to the national association — and therefore the Texas and Houston associations of Realtors — though that would not mean a person is no longer a real estate agent.
Real estate licenses are issued by the Texas Real Estate Commission, which has stated it does not have jurisdiction to take action for comments on social media. And the Houston Association of Realtors allows non-member agents to access its database of home sales and listings data, known as a multiple listing service, which is necessary to work in the area because there is no other way to research comparable home sales in the state.
Instead, outsiders are cut off from networking events, trainings and Realtor discounts, as well as any reputational boost they may have received from operating under the Realtor brand, which holds its members to a code of ethics.
In response to concerns regarding freedom of speech, the association has pointed out that, while the First Amendment bars government from abridging the freedom of speech, it does not prohibit a private organization from restricting the speech of its members.

I know that everyone reading this message knows the difference between a democracy and a republic, but in case it slipped your mind… A democracy is mob rule: the issue or the side with the most votes wins. Five wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. A republic is governed by a constitution which places limits on the democracy, (i.e. the lamb has an AR-15.) There are certain things where a simple democratic majority does NOT win.
That's where the Supreme Court (federal and state) step in to ensure the constitution is followed. Sometimes.
Only four new gun bills were filed last week, all in the House. HB 1319, by Rep. Sharon Wylie (D-49), prohibits firearms at all public meetings of a city, county or other governing bodies. HB 1346 by Rep. Gerry Pollett (D-46), would ban the transfer of any lead-based or lead core ammunition to anyone under the age of 21 – there go your junior rifle programs (all to prevent lead contamination and protect the chilluns, of course). HB 1374 by Rep. Macri (D-43), repeals state preemption in its entirety.—stand by for every city to enact a multitude of gun laws including restrictions on where and when you can carry firearms – with or without a CPL. The cities have been fighting this since it passed 30+ years ago. Good luck making it from one corner of the state to another without violating SOMEONE's gun law. And HB 1381 BY Rep. Mike Pellicciotti (D-3), which prohibits the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs – drones) to deliver contraband to anyone in lawful detention – from guns to drugs to cell phones to anything they declare as contraband.
Several bills passed out of their original policy committee, generally with amended versions (substitutes) offered, and now sit in their respective Rules committees, awaiting a pull to the chamber floor for a full floor vote. These include: HB 1010 (destruction of forfeited firearms), SB 5027 (extreme risk protection orders – substitute passed), SB 5061 (undetectable firearms – substitute passed), SB 5062 (high capacity magazine ban – substitute passed), SB 5143 (firearm seizure in DV cases – substitute passed) and SB 5174 (CPL training requirement – substitute passed that allows NRA or similar courses to qualify). These bills all now await a floor vote.
Public hearings are also scheduled for several bills. The House Civil Rights & Justice Committee will conduct public hearings on HB 1315 (CPL training) on 29 January at 10:00 a.m. and on HBs 1319 (open carry/public meetings) and 1346 (lead ammo ban) on February 1st at 10:00 a,m. Senate Higher Ed will conduct a public hearing on SB 5150 (college safety officers) at 1:30 p.m. on 31 January. Senate Law & Justice will hear SBs 5181 (firearm possession/mental health) and 5205 (incompetent to stand trial) at 10:00 a.m. on 29 January.
Action has yet to be taken on several more bills that have already had public hearings. Their time will come! It frequently means there is back-room negotiating going on to amend the bills after testimony.

A Washington City man suspected of belonging to a violent criminal gang and of being involved in "multiple homicides" in California was arrested Thursday following a traffic stop and extradition efforts are now under way.
Carlos A. Gonzalez-Mendez, 21, was arrested shortly after 5 p.m. while he was a passenger in a vehicle at the intersection of Buena Vista Boulevard and Green Spring Drive, near Interstate 15's Exit 10 access, according to warrant information stemming from the incident.
Gonzalez-Mendez is a suspected member of the Mara Salvatrucha MS-13 gang and is believed to have been involved in several homicides around the Los Angeles area, according to the report.
The Los Angeles Police Department obtained a warrant for Gonzalez-Mendez's arrest on a charge of first-degree felony homicide murder Monday, which was then listed with the National Crime Information Center.
"We don't suspect he's involved in any criminal activity here; he was involved in criminal activity down in California," St. George Police Sgt. Sam Despain said Friday. "He had been a resident in California, but now he's a resident here in Washington County."
The warrant states it is fully extraditable to California, and Despain said local law enforcement is essentially just assisting the LAPD.
Despain did not have any information in relation to the suspected homicides.
Los Angeles area media reported police conducted an MS-13 "gang sweep" on Dec. 17, but the reports did not indicate a connection with recent homicides.
The arrest was made by St. George's Fraudulent Identity and Security Threat unit, otherwise known as FIST, working on the investigation with the LAPD, federal marshals and the federal Homeland Security Investigations division.
Despain said FIST has not made any other recent arrests of suspected MS-13 members. Gonzalez-Mendez is being held at the Purgatory Correctional Facility pending extradition.

Distro packagers: PEP 615 and the tzdata dependency
PEP 642 v2: Explicit constraint...
Steering Council Election Timeline...
Paul Ganssle
One part of PEP 615 (IANA time zones) that I expected to be easily overlooked (a point about which I seem to have been right) is the recommendation that starting with Python 3.9, distros should add a dependency on the system time zone data to the Python package. Quoting the PEP:
Python distributors are encouraged to ensure that time zone data is installed alongside Python whenever possible (e.g. by declaring tzdata as a dependency for the python package).
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0615/#system-time-zone-information
I am not sure what is the best way to reach the largest number of distro packagers to suggest that they add a dependency on tzdata for Python 3.9+, so I figured I'd send a message here. If you know a distro packager who does not follow this list, or you use a distro that doesn't have a dependency on tzdata for Python 3.9, please forward this e-mail to them and/or open a bug on their issue tracker.
So far I know conda-forge got the dependency right from the first Python 3.9 release, Fedora has plans to fix this https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python3.10/pull-request/13, and Christian Heimes has opened a bug on the Ubuntu launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.9/+bug/1904271 for this. I will figure out how best to notify Arch Linux and do that (since that's the distro I use).
I suspect this will be most important for distros that are heavily used in containers, since tzdata is a common enough dependency that it's likely to be satisfied accidentally in most full-featured user environments anyway.
P.S. If there's a mailing list or other community for Python distro packagers, please let me know, because I often find that we're making decisions that affect them that they don't hear about until way down the line. I'd love to have an easy way to keep them in the loop.

In Arch Linux, tzdata is a dependency of glibc, which is part of the base[1] package that should be present on every installation. So, there is no action necessary :) We could make it an explicit dependency, but that it not necessarily required, it is up to the maintainer, whom I have notified.
I would say the best approach to reach distro packages is to open a bug in their issue tracker, or to reach them via mailing list. Some of them have specific mailing lists for Python, Fedora has python-devel[2].
Maybe it would make sense to create a community mailing list for packagers?
I would also suggest to in the future maybe have a "For packagers" section, or similar, in the release notes. I don't think right now there is any reasonable way packagers could have known about this new dependency unless they are involved with the Python upstream. All the current changelog does is link to PEP 615, where that information is present, but it has no mention of new dependencies.
Please let me know if I've overlooked something :P

I do think it makes sense to make it a direct dependency, since I personally worry that transitive dependencies may be fragile (and even if the transitive dependency is rock-solid, it doesn't hurt anything for it to exist — plus it gives you metadata about what projects are using what packages, for purposes of notifying or looking for issues). That said, it's obviously up to y'all.
There's actually another thing that is probably of interest to distro packagers, which is that zoneinfo includes a compile-time configuration option: https://docs.python.org/3/library/zoneinfo.html#zoneinfo-data-compile-time-c...
By default we don't know where the zoneinfo will be deployed, so we use a set of locations where it's commonly deployed. Since distro packagers know exactly where it is deployed, they can use the `--with-tzpath` configuration option to specify it at build time, to make the lookup that much faster and more accurate.
Yeah, I was mainly looking for a way to contact all of them at once, since it doesn't scale very well for me to open bugs on the trackers of every distributor. I can open bugs for my distro and distros that I care about, but even that can be pretty duplicative.
That sounds like a good idea to me.
This also seems like a good idea to me (though I'm not entirely sure how often packagers are impacted by changes to CPython — zoneinfo may have been an unusual case).

Not to put words in Barry's mouth, but I took Barry's comment to be more an answer to the question of how to contact "distro packagers" as a group, more than he was taking a position about this particular issue.
That said, as I mentioned on the launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.9/+bug/1904271/comments/4 and elsewhere in this thread, I think that, in general, it makes sense to have an explicit dependency on tzdata as a clear indicator that we actually have a direct dependency on tzdata, even if it's not technically required because it's satisfied automatically for some reason. It would make it easier for people to find packages that depend on tzdata to notify us of issues (I've done something like this before — `tzlocal` is planning to make a backwards-incompatible change to using `zoneinfo`, and when I found out about this I dug up all the projects I could find that explicitly depend on `tzlocal` to notify them of the upcoming change).
It also is less fragile. As Christian mentioned in the launchpad issue, zoneinfo is actually broken without a direct dependency on tzdata in the ubuntu docker container — possibly that's a bug in the way the ubuntu docker contianer is packaged, but it wouldn't be a problem for /us/ if python had a dependency on tzdata. As far as I can tell it also wouldn't hurt anything for this dependency to be made explicit rather than implicit.
That said — it's entirely up to individual package maintainers how they want to handle their dependency metadata. The important thing I wanted to convey to distro maintainers is that PEP 615 effectively is saying that Python now depends on the system metadata package being present. If there's no need to do anything because tzdata is an implicit dependency for the entire Debian ecosystem then that's fine.

Good to know. I think one reason I wouldn't immediately think to send things to Linux-SIG is that for me "distro packagers" also includes people maintaining packages in the BSD, Solaris, conda-forge, homebrew, etc ecosystems. It might make sense to have a dedicated list or discourse for distro packagers, but as I don't meet the description I don't know how useful it would be for me to opine on the form it should take.

Thanks Paul,
would it make sense to add a packaging section to our documentation or to write an informational PEP? There is already PEP 394, which defines the "python" command on Unix-like systems. A new informational PEP could 1) assist packagers with best practices, 2) state how the CPython core team envisions packaging of Python on Unix distributions.
After all there are more dependencies than "tzdata". Python has dependencies on /etc/mime.types and system trust store for the ssl module. Users also have been complaining about usability issues and bugs caused by downstream patches and packaging decisions (like venv, distutils, tkinter split into optional packages).
By the way Fedora isn't affected by lack of tzdata database. Fedora's Python package has a transient dependency on tzdata. The package is always shipped in Fedora's minimal container images, too. Miro's PR makes the dependency explicit.

The Monopolists: Errors, Omissions, and a Smile of Gratitude
by Cathy Orloff
As a Georgist I love to tell people that the game of Monopoly was really invented by a woman who wanted to illustrate Henry George economics and to help end poverty and its suffering. Most people have never heard of George, but everyone has heard of Monopoly. So then we're at least on the same page, and the conversation can proceed. Consequently, when Mary Pilon's The Monopolists was published earlier this year, complete with "Henry George" and "Single Tax theory" in the Index, I anticipated that the Georgist cause would get some beneficial publicity. I've had to re-think that a bit.
What's obvious, of course, is that Pilon's book is about the history of a game and not primarily about economics. And it's good that Pilon has documented, exhaustively and conclusively, that Monopoly was NOT invented by Charles Darrow during the Great Depression. It turns out that Darrow was taught one of several circulating free versions of the original Landlord's Game, created by Lizzie Magie, who patented it in 1904. Darrow made some changes to the board and rules and sold it to Parker Brothers as his own in 1935. Lizzie Magee's father was a Single Taxer and journalist who had traveled around Illinois with Abraham Lincoln as he debated Stephen Douglas in 1860. James Magee had shared with his daughter his Single Tax enthusiasm, which later bore fruit in her Landlord's Game. Pilon tells Magie's story through the sub-story of Economics Professor Ralph Anspach of San Francisco, who in 1973 developed a game called Anti-Monopoly to teach his students about various trust-busting laws. Parker Brothers wrote Anspach, demanding that he cease and desist from using a name too similar to theirs. The two parties became embroiled in patent litigation for years, until the Supreme Court ruled in Anspach's favor in 1982. A settlement from the company enabled him to pay off the three mortgages he had taken out on his house to finance that long struggle.
But Anspach's story seems to turn out more happily than the book's treatment of Georgism, with which the Monopoly game is forever linked. Sadly, Pilon seems to give short shrift to George himself, covering his life, writing of Progress and Poverty, mayoral campaign of 1886, and death in only four out of 244 pages. She describes him as a charismatic politician chronologically and in terms of impact. Further, "charismatic politician" isn't a purely laudatory term; it could also apply to Adolf Hitler, Huey Long, or Boss Tweed. The same puzzle appears when Pilon writes that Magie "wanted her board game to reflect her progressive political views, which centered on the economic theories (my italics) of Henry George."
The word "theory" is no problem when referring to something widely agreed upon, like Einstein's theory of relativity. But when applied to ideas that are controversial or in the minority, it can suggest error; and was often so used by George's opponents in early Single Tax debates.
Also unfortunate are some of Pilon's renderings of George's ideas, such as "His main tenet was that individuals should own 100 percent of what they made or created, but that everything found in nature should belong to everyone." (pp. 18-19) Her last clause makes things sound quite chaotic, and is only a very rough approximation of George's thought, which he conveyed in precise and careful language, correctly anticipating that he would be attacked by vested interests, since he himself was attacking the institution of private property in land (and proposing a remedy). Pilon might have done better to merely select a quote from George's chapter "The Injustice of Private Property in Land," such as: "There is in nature no such thing as a fee simple in land."
Another problem: she writes, "George's message had resonated deeply with many Americans in the late 1800's, when poverty and squalor were on full display in the country's urban centers. Poor immigrants and natives alike were packed tightly together in noxious slums, where they slaved long hours in dirty, dangerous factories, earning little more than a pittance." All true, but does Pilon not read the daily newspaper? She may have missed the story during this past year's very cold winter in which a woman worked at minimum wage every day starting at 5AM in the packing room of a major retailer which turned on the heat only when its doors opened at 9:00. When she wore a jacket and hat to work, the company sent her home and put a negative note in her employee record. She contacted OSHA, which ordered the company to counsel employees about preventing hypothermia, but did not require any change in its heating policies. Newspapers would be unable to cover the plethora of similar stories; this one made the news only because that particular employee was more pro-active than most.
Also, aren't cities today still full of "noxious slums," even if the drug and violence-filled housing projects have TVs and microwaves? Pilon's exclusive use of the past tense on this crucial subject could be taken to suggest that George's calls for economic justice are of historical interest only; and if so, that would be extremely regrettable.
There is also Pilon's New York Times article of Sunday, February 15, 2015, just as her book was hitting the stores. It seemed a generously long article for the Times, complete with color pictures of Magee's and Darrow's game boards, and also George and Magee in black & white. But one of the headings in that article is "Cult Hit to Best-Seller" For me the word "cult" is a clear negative with regard to Georgism. However, it is absolutely her right and everyone's right to agree or disagree as they see fit.
So let me be honest rather than hyper-critical. I think it is dangerous today to speak loudly or write extensively on anything even close to a critique of private property in land and still be safe in one's career, employment, etc. Wherever one lives, there is land, and there are landowners benefiting from the present system. These individuals often have extensive influence and power on the local scene, and often nationally through campaign funding, lobbying, etc. Therefore I thank Mary Pilon for saying as much as she did about Georgism and for putting Henry George and his powerful analysis clearly and ironically on the same map with the all-famous, all-American Monopoly game of getting rich through real-estate! I think we can all have a good laugh, and then rally our forces and continue the work.

New Stable Push Pull Carbenes
Phosphino(boryl)carbenes
Since the discovery of the first stable carbene in 1988 in our group (phosphinosilylcarbene), carbene chemistry has been largely developed allowing to get more insight into their stabilization mode. Stable singlet carbenes can be classified in two main types: Push-Pull (phosphinosilylcarbene) or Push-Push (NHC).
Surprisingly, probably the most representative push-pull carbene was unknown, ie phosphino(boryl)carbene 1. We have recently described its preparation by deprotonation of the corresponding carbocation (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 8864). The reactivity study has shown a pronounced ambiphilic character, typical of transient carbenes, illustrated by reaction with electron deficient olefins and aldehydes Chem. Eur. J. 2014, 20, 297). More interestingly, carbene 1 also exhibits a very original reactivity towards small molecules such as CO2 and SO2 (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 2489).
Cyclic Stable Carbenes with a Pronounced Ambiphilic Character
The ambiphilic character of carbenes (s-donor and p-acceptor, small energetic HOMO-LUMO gap) is a key point of stable carbenes technology that governs activities in organocatalysis or coordination with transition metal. The development of new family of carbene allowing to tune easily the singlet-triplet gap is therefore extremely important. In this vein, we have developed a new synthetic pathway to prepare cyclic push pull carbenes, namely azavinylidenephosphoranes 2 that exhibit an important ambiphilic character (Gap S/T: 24.3 kcal/mol). These compounds keep the transient carbenes reactivity (C-H insertion reaction, cyclopropanation) but they are also excellent ligands for transition metals (Chem. Eur. J. 2014, 20, 12528).

The origins of the American naval tradition by a notable naval historian.
Dull, author of, among others, The French Navy and the Seven Years' War, gives us a tight, insightful overview of American naval history. He explores the political, economic, and even social roots of the American naval experience, and how it grew and changed to reflect the growth of a series of tiny colonies into a republic that had to meet varied challenges during its first century of existence. Unusual for such works, Dull begins in colonial times, an oft-neglected period in American military history, during which there was some interesting naval activity sponsored by various colonies, most notably the attack on Louisbourg in 1745. There follows the effort to cope with the might of the Royal Navy during the Revolution. He then gives us accounts of the problems of commerce protection in the early Republic, notably against Revolutionary France and the Barbary pirates, while showing the flag, service in wars with Britain (1812-1814) and Mexico (1846-1848), through the Navy's maturation during the trying times of the Civil War. The process by which American naval tradition grew, Dull argues, was to a great extent due to the vision and will of a number of notable men, both political and naval, such as Washington, Preble, Decatur, Lincoln, Farragut, and so forth, and their contributions are noted.
A volume in the Nebraska series " Studies in War, Society, and the Military," American Naval History, 1607-1865 is an excellent introduction to the rise of American sea power, and can be read with profit even by the seasoned student of the subject.

The knock on CJ about tap-ins and PKs has to stop. I was watching the LA game this weekend and watched as JacMac just stood in front of the goal adding almost nothing to the game. That is not CJ.
CJ isn't a poacher. He's a power forward that knows how to get into position to finish a play (when things are going well). It's an unfair and ridiculous argument, considering everything else he contributes to the team.
All4U says:
Also agree. He does a lot of work to get in those spots for tap ins. And with his size, that's exactly the way he's supposed to score goals.
Agree. CJ is a Lukaku-like player.
Zizouisgod says:
Scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in soccer.
Just because someone makes it look easy, that doesn't mean that it is.
The knock on CJ isn't the types of goals he scores. It's simply that he isn't that great.
I love how we had to wait 3 months for CJ's next great game, and now all of a sudden we get articles praising him and celebrating him and WOOHOO HE IS GREAT.
I can't wait to watch him provide nothing for the next two months before he has his next great game, though.
7/26 vs Columbus – 1 goal and 2 assists
8/5 vs. Dallas – 2 goals
Wow, those three months felt like ten days to me.
That's not the point. The issue is that when you focus solely on his scoring, you ignore his other contributions to the game. And even when he's not scoring, most analysts are highlighting his hold-up play and his work-rate.
Yes, we would all like for him to be consistently prolific in front of the net. And no one here is arguing he needs to lead USMNT into Russia or anything. But we shouldn't minimize what he brings to the table every game.
I'm tired of his worthless contributions. We suck. Under Curtin we suck. I'm glad after one good game against a good team we've all drank the kool aid and for some reason we are a great team now, but we aren't. Our record under Curtin is bad. We play bad soccer. If we get into the playoffs, it will be as an afterthought. We aren't going anywhere. Nothing this team does is great. We are more likely to crap the bed our next couple of games than continue to win.
I understand CJ runs hard and plays defense. But maybe we need more from a striker in 2017. Maybe we need a striker who is dangerous and other teams actually need to worry about, besides one who wants to play like it's 2006.
And if this is how Curtin is asking him to play, than that is on Curtin.
james, I son't think anyone here thinks CJ is "great." We're not delusional. But just because you're not great, it doesn't mean you must be the inverse (sucky). I think conventional wisdom on CJ is that he's a remarkable athlete who because of his athleticism shows promise to accomplish more than he has up to this point. Having his goal total climb to 15 this season would be a "great" accomplishment for a better than average to good player (who also happens to be immensely likable).
Sure. I just hope you're right. Maybe we are one good #10 away from being a top 4 contender, and CJ scoring 15 goals a year, and the Union not sucking, and us dancing in the streets and being featured on WIP and sunshine and rainbows.
I just can't believe it yet. This team is still far away from any of that.
Just for the record, he's tied for 4th in league in goals scored.

Again, no one is saying that he's an American Ronaldo. We're simply giving a slow clap to his productive season. It's all very measured.
We all get that you are frustrated by this team, but it's not on CJ as much as you seem to be claiming.
Spot on, Pete.
If we get 10 play similar to what Ilsinho did last game and if our RW could actually bag like 5-8 goals instead of 0 this year we would actually be a pretty good team this year. As is we are average.
scottymac says:
I felt the whole article about CJ was like a sub-text to me.
I'm not a fan. I'm not enlightened. I'm not in thrall of "hold up play" that generates little. I see a striker who can go whole games without firing a shot, but somehow is doing "little things" that help the team win. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. I don't care about his couple of PKs, those are his most distant shots btw.
James you are not alone on the Cliff Of Dispair. But take a look around..if your the guy closest to the edge,it may be time to take a step back. As stated above we are all pretty frustrated.
DK says:
From an American perspective, CJ is a great striker and I will die on this hill.
That article about MLS changing it's economic rules does not bode well for the Union. If teams have the "option" to choose whether or not they want more TAM to spend, I find it hard to believe the Union's owner would choose to spend it. It's another way for the Union to get further behind.
On the other hand, the other part of the rule change should (theoretically) benefit the Union. If they can keep more of the money from the Academy players they sell overseas (and if their Academy is all it's cracked up to be), then there's more money to spend on the team without the ownership having to dip into its own pocket.
Fools Gold!
First they should get top rated Dutch, French, German or Spanish coaches who have a proven track record of developing youth. Right now it is just an experiment with most kids ending up in College.
They have some well-though-of Scots in the Academy coaching ranks.

Check out the Portland Timbers sick burn against the LA Galaxy.
That was hilarious.
Agreed. Portland as an organization really gets it. Must be nice.
Come on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air thing was pretty funny
MarkZ says:
That's awesome
don't stare too long into the burn, Chester Union
That highlight clip was cool, but I was confused when the announcers mentioned nothing about an onion bag.
I fear the Union will be saddled with that bag for years to come. Somehow it will become 'lore' and they won't be able to lose it.
Too late, I already saw SOB putting onions in a bag behind the goal on Saturday. Take a look at the game highlights.
Oh that's been happening for a while now. At least the last three home games or more.
Eric B says:
The NASL expansion is old news, though it looks like Wynalda might be their coach. USL also added Austin today in addition to Birmingham yesterday.
If it gets Wynalda out of the booth, I'm all for it. He's horrible calling matches.
Austin is 2019. So is Birmingham.
2018 is Nashville, Fresno, unofficially but virtually certain Las Vegas, and, by rumor, a D. C. United 2 player-development side of some type. 34 total, and equally balanced numbers east and west.
2019 might see three conferences. If they follow the usual principle of geographic proximity, Northeast, South Central and Far West would be my best guess.
Has the Chicago NASL idea hit a snag?
Most recent update I could find:
"While his work to establish the NISA doesn't necessarily preclude his continued efforts with the Chicago NASL project, given the lack of recent updates it's unclear whether the latter is still on the table or whether Wilt has moved on to focus on this nascent league."
So…maybe??

Samuel E. Mitchell Jr. (* 2. September 1963 in Columbus, Georgia) ist ehemaliger US-amerikanischer Basketballtrainer und -spieler. Er war in der Saison 2015/16 Headcoach bei den Minnesota Timberwolves.

Karriere
Mitchell wurde nach seiner erfolgreichen Collegesaison an der Mercer University in der NBA-Draft 1985 an 54. Stelle von den Houston Rockets ausgewählt. Er spielte jedoch zunächst in der unterklassigen CBA und in Frankreich. 1989 wurde er bei der Expansion Draft von den neugegründeten Minnesota Timberwolves verpflichtet. Zwischen 1989 und 2002 war er selbst als Spieler bei den Minnesota Timberwolves (1989–1992, 1995–2002) und Indiana Pacers (1992–1995) aktiv.

Trainerkarriere
Nach seiner Spielerkarriere arbeitete Mitchell zunächst als Assistenztrainer bei den Milwaukee Bucks, ehe er 2004 Trainer der Toronto Raptors wurde. Unter Mitchell's Leitung gewannen die Raptors in der Saison 2006/07 ihren ersten Divisionstitel der Atlantic Division. Nach der regulären Spielzeit wurde er mit dem NBA Coach of the Year Award ausgezeichnet. Nach einem schwachen Start in die Saison 2008/09 wurde Mitchell von den Raptors entlassen. Während der Saison 2010/11 war er als Assistenztrainer bei den New Jersey Nets beschäftigt. 2014 kehrte er als Assistenztrainer nach Minnesota zurück.

Am 24. Oktober 2015 gaben die Minnesota Timberwolves bekannt, dass Sam Mitchell die Timberwolves während der Saison 2015/16 betreuen würde, da der Headcoach Flip Saunders aufgrund seiner Krebserkrankung die Saison verpassen werde. Einen Tag später erlag Saunders seinen Krebsleiden im Alter von 60 Jahren. Mitchell führte die Timberwolves zu 29 Saisonsiegen und verpasste damit deutlich die Playoffs. Er wurde zum Saisonende durch Tom Thibodeau ersetzt.

Increasing trend in antisemitic incidents in Cyprus
According to Cyprus police chief, there is an increasing trend in antisemitic incidents in the country.
Cyprus police chief Stelios Papatheodorou claims that while there were 40 and 41 racist incidents recorded in Cyprus in 2019 and 2020, none of those were antisemitic. Nevertheless, the statistics prove that there has been an increasing trend in antisemitic incidents, reports the CyprusMail.
"From the statistics that we maintain as the police, there is indeed an increasing trend," the police chief said at the opening of a workshop on antisemitism, organised by the Cyprus police academy in coordination with the Israeli embassy.
"This is where the importance of education lies, especially for members of the security forces, whose primary goal is to provide them with the necessary guarantees to identify, detect and deal with incidents of antisemitism," Papatheodorou added.
He claims that the Jewish community in Cyprus today "is a living, active and prosperous part of our society". Besides standard security, the police patrols the areas of synagogues and foreign embassies, including the Israeli embassy.
"We, as the Cyprus police, have a responsibility, both at the educational and investigative level, as well as at the operational level to combat antisemitism. I believe, however, that the most important aspect of the issue is the change of mentality at the societal level," the police chief said.
"As Albert Einstein rightly stated the world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking'. Keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive and drawing on the lessons of this tragic page of history will make it possible to prevent the horrors of the past," Papatheodorou added.

What is the procedure to change Baseline plan of the project?
The degree of authority given to a project manager depends on the size of the project task faced (project size, speed, and complexity), the availability of experienced project managers, and …... The new project manager should review these documents and then meet with the current project manager for a meaningful discussion on the project status. And if at all possible, having the ability to connect with the old project manager after the transition takes place is a big plus.
The change control process should define things like who has the authority to approve a change, how a change is documented, how a change is communicated to the team, etc. This should be documented either in your project plan or in documentation that your project plan can cite.... If change is indeed necessary for the project, then the following checklist will help ensure that all bases are covered as the project manager implements the change(s). Communicate (Up and Down) The first step is to communicate the upcoming change to the project.
The project management procedures outline the resources that will be used to manage the project. This will include sections on how the team will manage issues, scope change, risk, quality... The project team, lead by the project manager, should analyze the impact of the change to the defined scope, budget and/or schedule. This impact will be documented and presented to the decision makers of the project.

One of the first two Ugandan Catholic priests. He was born in Mawokota in Buganda, and was a member of the Ndiga (sheep) clan, his father's name being Wamala. He was baptized at Rubaga on September 8, 1891. He first went to school at Bikira, and in 1892 went to Villa Mario and joined the newly-founded seminary. Here he studied until in 1913 he was ordained priest by Bishop Streicher, and, together with Fr. (now the Very Rev. Msgr.) Victor Womereka Mukasa, became the first Ugandan to be ordained to the priesthood. For five years after his ordination he worked at Bukalasa Seminary with Fr. Mukasa, and from 1918 onwards worked as a parish priest at Mitala-Maria, Narozari, Nazareth, Kitovu, and Villa Maria where he died.

Obtaining a foreigner loan from a licensed moneylender in Singapore
Are you a foreigner working in Singapore?
Do you need to take out a loan but are not sure how to go about it safely?
If your answer to these questions is yes, you will find this brief article of interest.
Foreign workers can access loans in Singapore, providing they can fulfil the necessary criteria.
We will discuss this further later on.
But before you start, the first thing to take on board is the importance of only approaching a properly licensed moneylender in Singapore.
Why? It is all too easy to get scammed.
As recently as August this year, 123 people were arrested on suspicion of illegal loan shark activities in Singapore.
The swoop took place over three days when 83 men and 43 women between the ages of 19 to 64 were taken into custody.
These people were suspected of acting on behalf of illegal money lenders. If suspicions are proven, they will face a prison sentence of up to five years plus fines of between $5,000 and $50,000.
Only ever use legally licensed money lenders
Illegal loan sharks use cutting edge technology and the latest scam tactics to woo those looking for fast money.
They all sound very plausible, so beware. If you are looking for what is called a "foreigner loan" you should only ever consider going to a properly licensed moneylender in Singapore.
In many instances, banks in Singapore will not consider lending money to foreigners. It all depends on salary, employment purposes and the types of passes that applicants have.
This is why many workers seeking a foreigner loan will instead approach a licensed moneylender in Singapore as an alternative.
The requirements for a successful foreigner loan application
The first prerequisite a licensed moneylender in Singapore will insist on is that applicants must have a valid Work Pass showing you they are legally permitted to work in Singapore.
You must also be aged between 21 and 55 years old and be in full-time employment.
In addition, most lenders will also require you to submit a letter of employment from your employer, a bank statement, and a current residential tenancy agreement.
Once these documents have been scrutinised by the licensed moneylender in Singapore you have approached, they will decide whether or not to grant the loan.
Because loaning to foreigners is considered more of a risk, interest rates are higher; generally, anywhere from 4.8% to 10% or even higher.
If you are in search of a licensed moneylender in Singapore, this list on the onemoney.com.sg website (https://onemoney.com.sg/moneylenders/) could prove helpful.

Stop struggling...let us help you find the stories that will grow your business!
Hi, I'm Sarah Archer! I founded Story-Led Marketing because I've seen so many entrepreneurs, coaches and business owners end up settling for less… lowering their expectations of themselves and their business, or even giving up because they can't get their message heard and actioned upon by the right people... the people who will love what they have to offer.
That's because they don't have a strategy and plan for guiding their dream customer through the buying journey, and they don't know how to find and use their stories that will connect powerfully with this customer, in a way that compels them to act.
