Re: Perl & Templating for a mobile future.by CountZero (Bishop)

Just to open the discussion.
I see that many websites offer the "classical" site for the usual PC/laptop/netbook browsers at say "www.XYZ.com" and mobile devices optimized versions at "m.XYZ.com" or "mob.XYZ.com" or such. Is this due to lack of reliable browser recognition? Or is it lack of knowledge from their programmers and web-designers?
I have also seen sites that have a button saying something like "On a mobile device? Click here" and then you are shown a mobile device optimized web-page at the same URL (they probably store a cookie on your site to make sure to send you the right version). Again this makes me doubt the reliability of recognizing the kind of device you are using to view the website.
In theory, just switching the CSS might be sufficient to be able to switch between a "normal" and "mobile" version, but alas proper use of CSS is even less common than properly written HTML. CSS 2.1 has rules for different media types, one of which is "handheld".
A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey JamesMy blog: Imperial Deltronics

I recently inherited a large amount of Leinenkugel's beer from friends who had a New Years Eve party and wanted to get rid of the excess alcohol. It wasn't until I'd gotten home and unpacked it in my refrigerator that I remembered: Leinenkugel's is dogshit.
It is the worst brewery in human history. There are tribes of undiscovered hunter-gatherers in the depths of the Amazon who are brewing superior alcoholic products to Leinenkugel's. There are Superfund sites with stewing toxic combinations of ammonia and mercury that could brew a better beer. Leinenkugel's beer couldn't win a taste test among corpses because they'd all be tasting their own embalming fluid and wondering what the difference was. Leinenkugel's is the Britney Spears's C-section scar crotch-shot of beer.
But it is still beer, so my roommate Pat and I have been dutifully drinking all of it.
This gave me the novel idea, however, of becoming a Leinenkugel's insult comic—that is, an insult comic like Triumph or Don Rickles but focusing exclusively on Leinenkugel's beer. I'd have no other topic in my act but how much I hate Leinenkugel's. Here's what I've come up with so far:
• "Snowdrift Vanilla Porter, huh? Tastes more like a hippopotamus gorged itself on vanilla beans and got diarrhea."
• "Hey, Leinenkugel's: adding 'Weiss' to the end of a beer name does not stop me from getting diabetes."
• "If I had to choose between drinking a Sunset Wheat or the liquefied remnants of a piece of roadkill that's been sitting in the sun for a week, I guess I'd have to go buy blender because of all the little bones."
• "Ah, Berry Weiss: a beer so pussy-ass, even Mike's Hard Lemonade beats it up on the playground."
• "Hey, Leinenkugel's, I'd call Summer Shandy the worst thing to happen to humanity since Hitler, but at least Hitler built good roads."
• "Okay, you win, I'll give you the Fireside Nut Brown Ale—that really does taste like darkly-complected man's testicles."
• "Did you have any pebbles I could suck on for a while? No? How about some sand or pavement grit? Maybe I could lick an outdoor basketball? No, none of that? Okay, I guess I'll just drink Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark."
I'm still working out the kinks in a few of these, but pretty soon I'll be ready to take this show on the road. Anybody know of any good venues to play in Wisconsin?

The three choreographers, Saarinen, Fonte and Duato each present fantastic productions of their ballets. Between them they have achieved a magical atmosphere, interweaving light with darkness. During the course of White/Light/Night we become acquainted with all three of them.
Transfigured Night by Tero Saarinen, with its powerful use of lighting, tells the story of a journey towards the light. Arnold Schönberg's music is performed by the Göteborg Opera Orchestra conducted by Mats Rondin. This work was previously performed for the programme Perpetum.
Nicolo Fonte, the man behind RE:Tjajkovskij, has chosen the Göteborg Opera as the venue for the world première of his new work Somewhere Light. The work has a bright, positive quality and displays the twinkle in Fonte's eye. The music by Franz Schubert is performed by a piano trio.
Nacho Duato's White Darkness has its Swedish première in Göteborg. This dramatic work with its suggestive body movement has had success on many of the world's stages. The Göteborg Opera Orchestra and a string quartet perform the music of the Swedish-Welsh composer, Karl Jenkins. The conductor is Mats Rondin.

Houseboaters find the ProCharge Ultra from Sterling-Power-USA to be a big hit due to its efficiency, ability to run on 90vac to 270vac (even a surging generator) and especially because it allows the boat owner that stays hooked up to shore power frequently to not overcharge and over cycle the batteries, because the ProCharge Ultra allows for shore power bypass, while keeping the batteries at float voltages.
The new line of Marine Grade, Power Factor Corrected Battery Chargers set a new standard of what you should expect from your battery charger when it comes to features, performance and price. Years of experience in the battery charging industry has provided the insight to include everything they could possibly think of and combine it all into the ProCharge Ultra line of feature rich, high performance marine grade battery chargers. This exceptionally efficient power factor corrected battery charger runs on any Global AC Power source between 90-260 volts, requires less input power, produces less waste heat, and still has a remarkably small, lightweight footprint. Did we mention 11 pre-programmed battery charging curves as well as one user customizable battery profile? Check the real time voltage or current output on the digital display or on the optional remote control that can be either surface, recess, or flush mounted over 30 feet away from the battery charger.

Friday, May 20, 2011 - Martin Mourek's Czech Up
Martin Mourek's Czech Up
Martin Mourek's Czech Up features Dr Artur Lafek and Sister Petr Domas. Martin attends the clinic with a bad leg, and as he limps in Artur tells him to get undressed and into the surgical gown. Once Martin is ready he climbs onto the chair for examination. The exam progresses, and as Martin has his blood pressure checked it seems that the blood is rushing to his dick. Petr notices and gives it a little more attention. Soon all thought of the examination seems to have left the guys minds, as they engage in sucking and soon all are naked. With three such good looking guys it isn't suprising that events have taken this turn and Martin, in particular seems to relish having two such good looking guys dicks to ...
... more about Martin Mourek's Czech Up further in this newsletter
Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Ruslan Tarovsky and Ivan Cakovsky is a very good pairing. Ruslan Tarovsky is a lovely guy, who has rapidly become an very good bottom, and Ivan has moved from being a great bottom to an uber top. Both of the guys have wonderful personalities too, and are a lot of fun in the studio. In this scene we see Ruslan Tarovsky feeling himself up, in his undies, and as he does so he is joined in the room by Ivan. Ivan does the same and is quickly hard and ready for some action. So he moves over to Ruslan Tarovsky and feeds him some dick, before going down on him in return. Then after moving from sucking to rimming Ivan slips his rock hard dick into Ruslan Tarovsky's tight and inviting hole, for a very good pumping. Finally they shoot their loads, Ruslan Tarovsky first and then Ivan who squirts all over Ruslan Tarovsky's face.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
EDITOR'S NOTE: "The Chutzpa!" is a new satire column written by accomplished Israeli Messianic satirist Tal Lecks. Please note that the content of this article is fictional, and is meant as a light-hearted way of looking at the very real threats surrounding us.
In a recent press conference, Iranian president Mahmud Ahmadinejad was outraged by remarks made by Washington Post columnist Colbert King, who wrote that "the Iranian government is as anti-Semitic as the Third Reich."
"Hitler was a terrible figure.", responded Ahmadinejad with a deep and grievous voice. "History will never forgive him for not hating the Jews enough", later adding, "being compared to a small time dictator like him is a great offense to me and is another conspiracy by the Jews, whom I hate."
The press conference, which was held in Teheran by the IPAOGA (Iranian Press Association of Great Ahmadinejad) carried on, as one of the journalists dared to ask the president a courageous and thought-provoking question: "Do you have anything to add, oh mighty and powerful, yet fully democratic ruler that we love and fully obey?" [Editors: Original comment shortened due to lack of space]
Ahmadinejad replied: "Yes. I do have something to add. Please stop me if you heard me say this before, but I really hate the Jews."
While they may have heard something similar from their leader once or twice in the past, none of the gathered journalists felt it important to raise the point.

Hey everyone!
So someone just posted a comment on my video for Thief Gold, asking how to unlock it. It seems that they've beaten Thief Silver but that the challenge is still locked, and that the hint for unlocking it is to "accumulate wealth!". I don't recall ever having to do anything beyond completing Thief Silver to unlock Thief Gold, so I'm wondering if anyone else knows what the requirement is (it sounds like it might be a Bank upgrade?)

Why Zimbardo's Prison Experiment Isn't in My Textbook
The results of the famous Stanford Prison Experiment have a trivial explanation.
Posted Oct 19, 2013
It's true that Zimbardo's experiment is one of the two or three most famous experiments in the history of psychology. But it's not true that it's depicted in all introductory psychology textbooks. I'm the author of one such textbook (which is now in it's 6th edition and is used in many colleges and universities).[1] One of the questions I'm frequently asked about the book by professors who teach from it is, "Why don't you include Zimbardo's prison experiment, like all other textbook authors do?" Here's why.
When I was working on the first edition of the textbook, I read carefully the original report on the experiment by Zimbardo and his colleagues (the same report that Whitbourne summarizes), and I also read a methodological critique of it by Ali Banuazizi and Siamak Movahedi.[2,3] After reading both, and thinking carefully about them, I decided that I could not in good conscience present the experiment with its usual interpretation. I decided to omit it completely (a decision I made also concerning many other research studies that in my mind were poorly conceived and improperly interpreted). In the years since then, I have found no reason to change my mind and some new evidence that validates my original decision.
I'll present briefly here the standard interpretation of Zimbardo's experiment—the interpretation given by Whitbourne, by Zimbardo himself, and by most psychology textbook authors. Then I'll summarize the critique.
The Standard Story
In order to gain insight about the behavior of prisoners and guards in real prisons, Zimbardo and his colleagues constructed a simulated prison in the basement of the psychology building at Stanford University. Then they recruited 21 psychologically healthy male college students and randomly assigned 10 of them to be prisoners and the other 11 to be guards. The prisoners were to be held captive in the simulated prison around the clock for two weeks, and the guards were to serve duty in the prison on eight-hour daily shifts, so there were always at least 3 of them in the prison at any given time. For this, they would be paid $15 a day (a decent amount for students at that time, in 1971).
The results, in brief, were that the guards behaved toward the prisoners in "negative, hostile, affrontive and dehumanizing" ways [2, p 80]. The prisoners behaved alternately in rebellious and passive ways. At one point, on the second day, they ripped off their clothing and identification numbers while shouting curses at the guards. Later, five of the prisoners reacted with such extreme emotions that they were removed from the study before the end of five days. By the end of the sixth day the behavior of the guards and prisoners had spiraled to the point that Zimbardo decided to end the experiment early.
The standard interpretation, somewhat simplified, is this. The conditions of a prison, where one group has power over another and the powerless group are stripped of their individual identities, creates extreme, maladaptive responses that are characteristic of the responses often seen in real prisons. Those in power become abusive, and those subject to that power become immature, passive, and rebellious. These effects do not have to do with differences in original personality (because in the experiment the subjects were randomly assigned to roles), but result from the situation in which people find themselves. In the original paper and in subsequent writings, Zimbardo has repeatedly emphasized his view that this experiment reveals much that is significant in understanding what happens in real prisons.
The Critique
In a nutshell, here's the criticism, somewhat simplified. Twenty-one boys (OK, young men) are asked to play a game of prisoners and guards. It's 1971. There have recently been many news reports about prison riots and the brutality of guards. So, in this game, what are these young men supposed to do? Are they supposed to sit around talking pleasantly with one another about sports, girlfriends, movies, and such? No, of course not. This is a study of prisoners and guards, so their job clearly is to act like prisoners and guards—or, more accurately, to act out their stereotyped views of what prisoners and guards do. Surely, Professor Zimbardo, who is right there watching them (as the Prison Superintendent) would be disappointed if, instead, they had just sat around chatting pleasantly and having tea. Much research has shown that participants in psychological experiments are highly motivated to do what they believe the researchers want them to do. Any characteristics of an experiment that let research participants guess how the experimenters expect or want them to behave are referred to as demand characteristics. In any valid experiment it is essential to eliminate or at least minimize demand characteristics. In this experiment, the demands were everywhere.
In order to assess the degree to which participants in the experiment could guess what Zimbardo expected to happen, Banuazizi and Mohavedi presented some of the details of the experimental procedure to a large sample of college students who had not heard of the experiment and asked them to write down what they thought the researchers wanted to prove and to describe how the guards and prisoners were likely to behave. The great majority guessed the results. In various words, they said that the purpose of the experiment was to prove that normal people placed into the position of prisoner or guard would act like real prisoners and guards, and they predicted that the guards would act in hostile, domineering ways and the prisoners would react in either passive or defiant ways or both.
Subsequent revelations about the experiment—published since the first edition of my textbook—reveal that the guards didn't even have to guess how they were supposed to behave; they were largely told how by Zimbardo and his associates. In his relatively recent book, The Lucifer Effect [4, p 55] Zimbardo describes in the following terms what he told the guards at the outset of the study:
"We cannot physically abuse or torture them," I said. "We can create boredom. We can create a sense of frustration. We can create fear in them, to some degree. We can create a notion of the arbitrariness that governs their lives, which are totally controlled by us, by the system, by you, me, [Warden] Jaffe. They'll have no privacy at all, there will be constant surveillance -- nothing they do will go unobserved. They will have no freedom of action. They will be able to do nothing and say nothing that we don't permit. We're going to take away their individuality in various ways. They're going to be wearing uniforms, and at no time will anybody call them by name; they will have numbers and be called only by their numbers. In general, what all this should create in them is a sense of powerlessness. We have total power in the situation. They have none. ..."[5, see also here,]
Is this not an overt invitation to be abusive in all sorts of psychological ways? And, when the guards did behave in these ways and escalated that behavior, with Zimbardo watching and apparently (by his silence) approving, would that not have confirmed in the subjects' minds that they were behaving as they should? They were doing this all for the sake of an experiment, for the good of science, and apparently they were doing the right thing—so they continued, and did even more of it, until the experiment was stopped. They may also have been motivated by the same ideological passion that motivated Zimbardo to conduct the experiment in the first place--to prove to the world that prison guards are abusive because of the situation they are in, or to prove that prisoners are hurt by such abuse.
What would have happened if Zimbardo had said to the guards, at the outset, that the purpose of the experiment was to prove that it is possible to be both a guard and a decent human being, or in some way implied that the goal was to prove that guards can be kind? I bet the results would have been entirely different. The "situation" would have been the same, but the "demand" would have been different and the results would have been different.
As part of their preparation for the experiment, Zimbardo and his colleagues consulted with an ex convict named Carlo Prescott, an African American who had served 17 years in San Quentin for attempted murder and who had spoken before Congress on issues of prison reform. Many years later, upon reading about the various ways the experiment was being used (misused, according to Prescott) by Zimbardo and others to explain real prison atrocities, Prescott wrote an article for the Stanford Daily entitled "The Lie of the Stanford Prison Experiment" (reprinted here).
In the article, Prescott expressed great regret for his involvement in the study and said that it was he, not the guards in the mock prison, who came up with the ways of psychologically humiliating and harassing the prisoners. Here are his words:
"…ideas such as bags being placed over the heads of prisoners, inmates being bound together with chains and buckets being used in place of toilets in their cells were all experiences of mine at the old "Spanish Jail" section of San Quentin and which I dutifully shared with the Stanford Prison Experiment braintrust months before the experiment started. To allege that all these carefully tested, psychologically solid, upper-middle-class Caucasian "guards" dreamed this up on their own is absurd. How can Zimbardo … express horror at the behavior of the "guards" when they were merely doing what Zimbardo and others, myself included, encouraged them to do at the outset or frankly established as ground rules? At the time, I had hoped that I would help create a valid, intellectually honest indictment of the prison system. In hindsight, I blew it. I became an unwitting accomplice to a theatrical exercise that conveniently absolves all comers of personal responsibility for their abominable moral choices." [5]
In fairness, I must add that in their original article Zimbardo and his colleagues discussed the possibility that demand characteristics may have played a role in the participants' initial behavior in the mock prison, but they contended that the situation quickly became a new reality for the subjects and then they were responding to the immediate situation. There may be some truth to that, but the degree to which it is true is very much debatable.
My own guess is that the behavior of the guards was largely if not entirely the result of their doing what they were told to do and what they believed they were supposed to do. The behavior of the prisoners in the first day or two, when they were pretending to riot and pretending to plot escapes, was probably also playacting of stereotyped concepts of what prisoners do. But their subsequent wearing down, passivity, and apparently genuine desire to get out of the prison may very well have been a direct response to what the guards were doing to them (coupled, I imagine, with their lack of sleep--the guards were on shifts but they were not).
From this point of view, there is nothing in the results of the study that should surprise us. Once we say that the guards humiliated and oppressed the prisoners because they were told to do that and felt it was important to do it for the sake of science, and once we say that the prisoners initially "rioted" because they felt that this is what they were supposed to do but later really did want out because they were humiliated and oppressed, what is there left to be surprised about? Did Zimbardo and his colleagues really need to do this experiment to "prove" such an obvious result? And does this really tell about the behavior of real guards and prisoners, who are not there for a two-week experiment (for the good of science), but are there because that is how they make their living or because they are being punished for a crime? There is no way to simulate the real experiences of being a guard or a prisoner.
Too often, in our psychological research labs, we trivialize reality. Zimbardo's prison experiment is a good example of that. If I had included Zimbardo's experiment in my textbook, it would have been to make that point.
What do you think? Do you still find value in the famous prison experiment, and if so what is that value? This blog is a forum for discussion, and your comments and questions are valued and treated with respect by me and other readers. As always, I prefer if you post your comments and questions here rather than send them to me by private email. By putting them here, you share with other readers, not just with me. I read all comments and try to respond to all serious questions, if I feel I have something useful to say. Of course, if you have something to say that truly applies only to you and me, then send me an email.
Addendum, Feb. 18, 2014 -Peter Gray
Just today I happened to find this quotation, from John Mark, who had been one of the guards in Zimbardo's "experiment." It's from the July/Aug, 2011, issue of the Stanford Alumni magazine, and you can find the whole article here. Here's the quote:
"During the day shift, when I worked, no one did anything that was beyond what you'd expect in a situation like that. But Zimbardo went out of his way to create tension. Things like forced sleep deprivation—he was really pushing the envelope. I just didn't like the whole idea of constantly disturbing people and asking them to recite their prisoner numbers in a count. I certainly didn't like when they put a guy in solitary confinement.
"At that time of my life, I was getting high, all day every day. I got high before I went to the experiment; I got high on my breaks and lunch. I got high afterwards. I brought joints with me, and every day I wanted to give them to the prisoners. I looked at their faces and saw how they were getting dispirited and I felt sorry for them.
"I didn't think it was ever meant to go the full two weeks. I think Zimbardo wanted to create a dramatic crescendo, and then end it as quickly as possible. I felt that throughout the experiment, he knew what he wanted and then tried to shape the experiment—by how it was constructed, and how it played out—to fit the conclusion that he had already worked out. He wanted to be able to say that college students, people from middle-class backgrounds—people will turn on each other just because they're given a role and given power.
"Based on my experience, and what I saw and what I felt, I think that was a real stretch. I don't think the actual events match up with the bold headline. I never did, and I haven't changed my opinion."

Installation issues
Live installer crashes on adding a keyboard layout
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1009278
The Fedora 20 Alpha live installer will crash immediately if you visit the Keyboard spoke and attempt to add a layout. This bug and the fix for it were introduced and identified shortly before Alpha release, and there was not quite time to get the fix included.
anaconda-20.19 fixes the bug: if you want to do a live install and modify the keyboard layout configuration during installation, install that version of anaconda into the live system prior to running the installer. It is not available as an update at present, but you can download and install the build directly from the link.
Otherwise, you can simply defer keyboard configuration until post-install, or use a traditional installer image instead of the live image.
Installer crashes when creating a custom btrfs layout or assigning / mount point to an existing volume
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1004572
Multiple reports indicate that the Fedora 20 Alpha installer will crash with the error AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id' in at least two general scenarios:
- If you set the storage type drop-down on Installation Options to btrfs, enter custom partitioning, and create a partition
- If you assign the / mount point to an existing ext4 partition (or likely any existing storage volume) during custom partitioning
python-blivet-0.22-1.fc20 fixes this issue, but was not included in Fedora 20 Alpha. You can work around the bug by booting a live image and updating to that build of python-blivet before running the live installer. Otherwise, there is no exact workaround for this crash besides handling partitioning in a way which avoids either of those actions. This issue will be resolved for the release of Fedora 20 Beta.
Installer crashes if NFS ISO repository is used
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1009809
Testing suggests that the Fedora 20 Alpha installer is likely to crash with the error KeyError: 'name' if you attempt to use an NFS repository containing an ISO file as an install source. As we currently understand the issue, an NFS repository containing a full repository tree (rather than an ISO file) should work, and FTP and HTTP repositories have also been tested to work: please use one of these or another method instead of NFS ISO for Alpha testing.
Apple EFI Macs: EFI install alongside existing EFI installed OS (including OS X) results in you have not created a bootloader stage1 target device error
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1010495
If you try to do a native UEFI install of Fedora 20 alongside a native UEFI install of OS X and re-use the existing EFI system partition, the installer will incorrectly consider the existing EFI system partition as invalid and report that you have not created a bootloader stage1 target device. Unfortunately, the Fedora automatic partitioning algorithm will actually attempt to re-use the EFI system partition, and so you will run into this bug in any Fedora 20 installation attempt where you use the automatic partitioning algorithm and do not choose to delete the existing EFI system partition.
Practically speaking, there are a few different approaches to dealing with this problem. If you do not mind losing your OS X installation, you can simply choose to delete it (including the EFI system partition), and let Fedora occupy the rest of the disk. Fedora should create a new EFI system partition and install successfully.
If you wish to preserve your OS X installation, install Fedora 20 Final, and dual boot, you must use the installer's 'custom partitioning' path. Make sure to leave the existing EFI system partition intact, but do not set a mount point for it. Do not use the Create partitions for me button. Instead, manually create a new EFI system partition, and set it to be mounted at
/boot/efi. Manually create other partitions as usual. Complete custom partitioning, and your installation should proceed successfully. See the Installation Guide for general instructions on the partitioning process, if necessary.
You could also try installing Fedora 18 or Fedora 19 Beta. These should allow you to use automatic partitioning to install alongside OS X, assuming you do not run into any other bugs they may have contained. You could then upgrade to Fedora 20 with yum. You will still wind up with two EFI system partitions in this case.
Non-US keyboard layouts don't work at console
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1028207
Fedora 20 Beta installation won't honor the keymap picked during installation in virtual terminals or when decrypting the filesystem. X, however, will retain the keymap picked during installation. The current workaround is to simply defer picking a keymap until after installation.
Hardware issues
ARM: Beagle Bone Black HDMI issues
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1012025
Some testers have reported that attempting to run the Beagle Bone Black over HDMI doesn't currently work. At the moment to use the Beagle Bone Black you need a Serial Console. As on Fedora 20 Beta TC4 the Network/MMC/Serial console currently works and the BBone Black successfully boots. Further kernel updates to resolve the other outstanding issues will be forthcoming.
Software issues
Updating system with GNOME Software fails
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1009132
Some testers have reported that attempting to update a Fedora 20 Alpha system using the new GNOME Software application fails, with the error updates-plugin-WARNING **: failed to download: The backend exited unexpectedly. visible in system logs. If you are affected by this, we recommend updating using the older
gpk-update-viewer utility for now, or simply
yum from a console.
Removing applications with GNOME Software fails
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1013209
Some testers have reported that attempting to remove software from a Fedora 20 Alpha system using the new GNOME Software application fails, with segmentation fault of the GNOME Software application. If you are affected by this, we recommend removing software using
yum from a console. This shouldn't happen anymore with GNOME-Software 3.10.1
Disappearing mouse cursor
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1008965
After logging in to a desktop in Fedora 20 Alpha, the mouse cursor can become invisible. The mouse still functions, but can't be seen. This has been seen occasionally in testing on bare metal and more often in testing on virtual machines. It definitely affects GNOME and may affect other desktop environments.
Moving to another tty and back typically resolves the issue.
Wired connection indicator
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1005719
In Fedora 20 Alpha, for wired connections, the network-manager-applet displays an 'X' over the network icon, regardless of connectivity. The fix for this issue has been pushed to stable, but we are noting it here as it is highly visible on initial installation. Note that the fix for this issue is that no connection indicator will be shown at all for wired connections after update: this is a GNOME 3.10 design decision, not a bug in itself. A connection indicator will still be shown for all forms of wireless connection.
To fix this issue simply run
su -c 'yum update NetworkManager' and then reboot the system or simply
su -c 'systemctl restart NetworkManager.service'.
ZIP support in PHP
link to this item - Bugzilla: #999313
In Fedora 20, support from ZIP have been dropped from main php package and is now provided in a separate php-pecl-zip package.
If you need zip support, as for any other extension, run
su -c 'yum install php-zip'
KDE crashes when in a VM
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1027831
After installing KDE from RC5 or earlier, KDE will crash shortly after login. The workaround is to disable Desktop Effects (Alt+Shift+F12) after login and update the xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-0.14.fc20 package to xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-2.fc20. Simply run
su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-2.fc20' to update.
KDE live networking doesn't work
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1004621
When using a Fedora 20 Beta KDE live image, the plasma-nm applet doesn't connect to available networks. The workaround is to logout and then log back in and connect.
Gnome-shell crashes after creating a keyring without a password
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1012844
In Fedora 20 Beta Gnome, if you open Seahorse (or "Passwords and Keys") and attempt to change the password of your keyring to an empty string or create a new keyring without a password, gnome shell crashes. The workaround for this is to always use a password on your keyring. A patch is currently pending from upstream to fix this issue.

Hyperlipidemia and HIV/AIDS: High Cholesterol and Triglycerides
October 24, 2015
Table of Contents
Lipids are fats and fat-like substances in the blood. Cholesterol and triglycerides are lipids. Your body uses cholesterol to build and maintain cells and to make some hormones. After eating, energy that is not needed right away is converted into triglycerides, which are stored in fat cells.
While having some cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood is important for the body to function properly, having too much is unhealthy. Having high levels of lipids is called hyperlipidemia.
Hyperlipidemia and HIV
There are many possible causes for high lipid levels, including HIV and some of the HIV drugs. This puts people living with HIV (HIV+) at particular risk for developing hyperlipidemia. Although you cannot tell if you have this condition without lab tests, it can cause serious long-term health problems.
The main danger of hyperlipidemia is heart disease. If you have too much cholesterol in your blood it can build up on the inside of your arteries (blood vessels), and form plaques. This buildup of plaque can lead to a heart attack or a stroke. High triglycerides can also increase your risk of getting pancreatitis (a painful inflammation of an organ in your abdomen called the pancreas).
Some people living with HIV experience lipodystrophy. Lipodystrophy means abnormal body fat changes, and can include body shape changes and metabolic changes like hyperlipidemia. These changes have been linked to increased chances of developing diabetes, heart disease, and strokes. For more information, see The Well Project's articles on lipodystrophy.
How to Know If You Have Hyperlipidemia
There are two main kinds of cholesterol. One is low-density lipoproteins (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol, which can clog the arteries. The higher your LDL, the higher your risk of heart disease. The other kind is high-density lipoproteins (HDL) or "good" cholesterol, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Your health care provider can tell you if you have high cholesterol or triglycerides by doing a simple blood test called a fasting lipid profile. This will measure total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides. It is important that you have nothing to eat or drink for eight to 12 hours before the test is done. The following levels are ideal:
Foods That Affect Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels
There are several types of fat found in the foods we eat. These include saturated fats, trans fats, polyunsaturated fats, and monounsaturated fats. Saturated and trans fats raise cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease the most. They are considered "bad" fats. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats tend to keep cholesterol low and are considered to be "good" fats.
Saturated fat is usually solid at room temperature (e.g., butter). It is found in the fat of animal products like meats and dairy. It is also found in a few vegetable products like coconut, palm, and palm kernel oil. To keep your intake of saturated fat low, check food labels and choose dairy products with low fat content like skim (non-fat) or one percent milk, and low fat cheese and ice cream. When you are buying meats, choose leaner cuts of meat and trim off fat before cooking. Lean meat has less visible 'marbling' (white fatty swirls or stripes that can be seen in the pinkish meat). If you have any questions, ask your grocer or butcher to help you find leaner cuts of meat.
Most trans fats are industrial or synthetic fats. These are the result of food processing techniques that partially hydrogenate unsaturated fats. To reduce how much trans fat you eat, check food labels for trans fat and any partially hydrogenated oils.
Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats ("good" fats) are usually liquid at room temperature and generally have plant-based sources. These include oils (olive oil, safflower oil, peanut oil), nuts, and avocados. If you use oil in cooking, two good choices are canola and olive oil.
Eating a lot of "refined" carbohydrates or simple sugars (e.g. sugary foods, sodas, white bread, white rice) can raise triglycerides. If you need to reduce total cholesterol, LDL, and triglyceride levels it is important to limit the amount of bad fats and excess sugar in your diet. See a registered dietitian to help you make good choices and plan your meals. Many AIDS service organizations have registered dietitians on staff who will see you free of charge. For more information, see The Well Project's article on nutrition.
Physical Activity and Hyperlipidemia
Aerobic, or cardiovascular exercise, is the kind of physical activity that will help lower your lipid levels. A brisk walk, or other activity that gets your heart pumping moderately hard counts as aerobic exercise that can benefit your heart. This kind of exercise has been found to lower total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL; it can also raise HDL. It is important to get 30 minutes of moderately hard aerobic exercise five times a week.

Hot on the heels of the news of insecurities in the supply of cyanide to Inata Gold Mine owned by London based Avocet Mining, come reports that protestors have rallied to try and prevent former Avocet CEO Jonathon Henry from mining one of the world's largest unexploited gold reserves in rural Romania.
Gold mining companies, it seems, do not change much from place to place. Just as Avocet trumpet environmental responsibility, while their suppliers topple trucks full of cyanide briquettes into reservoirs, so Gabriel Resources, the company Jonathon Henry joined after he stepped down as Avocet CEO, talk a lot of talk about sustainable environmental behaviour, but locals aren't convinced.
Mr Henry oversaw Avocet's 'withdrawal' from their 'misadventure' at Zeravshan Gold Company in Tajikistan, where… things did not quite go to plan for the mining company . Somehow though Avocet managed to emerge with a profit, while the Tajiks were left with a new Chinese owner and a pay rate 15 or 16 times less than foreign experts.
Such disparity in remuneration may also be at the heart of recent labour force 'issues' at Inata gold mine.
When Jonathon Henry eventually left Avocet his shoes were swiftly filled by Brett Richards, whose experience working for alleged war profiteer George Forrest's Congolese operations mean that he is no newcomer to the vagaries of African politics. Among other things, companies owned by Forrest are claimed to have helped Angolan rebels illegally extract millions of pounds of diamonds to fund armament purchases.
But despite promises of state of the art facilities, Romanians are less than convinced by Gabriel Resources, and why would they be – according to Gabriel Resources own investigations, the area has suffered widespread environmental damage at the hands of gold miners for hundreds if not thousands of years. Rivers are polluted, ground is poisoned with various poisons, including high concentrations of cyanide, and despite local streams being too poisonous to be drinkable, most houses in the vicinity do not have indoor plumbing.
Why anyone would expect another mining company to be welcomed into such an environment is hard to imagine.
Even new facilities such as roads promised by Gabriel resources have failed to live up to expectations, crumbling beneath the wheels of motor traffic.
You can
register your support for indigenous Romanian activism against cyanide based gold mining at Respect Rosia Montana, you can also follow the protest on twitter @respectRosia.
<update> This is the official site of the protest, and the official site of the petition is here.
The huge financial muscle of large scale mining operations mean that countries such as Burkina Faso or Romania where large amounts of the populations live in poverty, environmental exploitation must be fiercely resisted by outsiders as well as locals if it is to be held in check.

DENVER (MarketWatch) — Here's the big takeaway from the grand openings of Colorado's legalized marijuana stores this week: Weed is mellow and stoners know how to stay cool.
"No one was rushing the doors or trampling over people," noted Chris Walsh, editor of the Marijuana Business Daily, in an interview.
Walsh visited stores on the first day that dope was openly, and more or less legally, sold in retail boutiques, anywhere. He soon found "Green Wednesday" offered none of the expected chaos and mayhem of Black Friday.
Crowds remained calm, even as lines grew longer than stores could accommodate within their authorized operating hours. Can you imagine what might have happened if these people had instead been standing in line for Chinese-made TVs?
"Who would you rather have lined up outside your store? The Wal-Mart crowd or the marijuana crowd?" said Walsh, who covers the industry like any trade publication editor. "I'd rather have these people than the people waiting in line at the Great American Beer Fest."
Anyone who thought opening day would turn out like the 1938 anti-dope propaganda flick "Reefer Madness" now has less reason to believe pot turns people into raging maniacs. You can find more madness in almost any initial public stock offering, or even a bond sale by Apple.
There were no reports public toking, or dope fiends driving from store to store, stoned out of their minds, the way more socially acceptable drunks drive from bar to bar, threatening the lives of everyone in their paths. There were no reports of arrests of teenagers trying to score a few buds — instead of the usual few Buds — with fake IDs.
It was all about as boring the grand opening of an Office Depot.
Perhaps all the jokes have run out. Many news organizations that covered opening day failed to capture humorous quotes or anecdotes. (Cheech: "Hey, man, am I driving OK?" Chong: "I think we're parked, man.") They even stopped playing on Denver's nickname as the "Mile High City."
As of Dec. 23, the state of Colorado had issued 384 licenses to marijuana retailers with names such as Cannabis King, Cloud 9 Caregivers, Ganja Gourmet and High Country Supply. But many others went with names that offer little hint of what they actually sell, such as Choice Organics and Holly Medicinal Services. And one new shop seems to hint with its name that it has already grown too-big-to-fail: Citi-Med.
The Denver Post, which now boasts its own marijuana editor, counted 37 retail outlets open on day one, and it published a great photo spread of the long, but orderly lines of stoners.
Washington state and the South American nation of Uruguay are set to legalize pot next — and if it all goes this well, there many be a marijuana stores coming soon to your neighborhood.
Some observers warn of the emergence of "Big Marijuana" on par with "Big Tobacco," "Big Pharma," "Big Banks" and "Big Oil." But so far, only a handful of publicly traded companies are involved. These companies are tiny, traded over-the-counter, and generally do not have their hands on the product — just the tools to help produce and distribute it, like GrowLife Inc. PHOT, +2.84%
At this stage, anybody who throws out a number on legalized marijuana sales is throwing darts. But I will throw this one: Revenues will easily eclipse $1 billion in Colorado this year, which is still a lot of money in an economy dominated by small businesses.
Until the federal government legalizes pot, this will remain a fragmented, cottage industry filled with risk-taking entrepreneurs. They can only hope the next president or U.S. Attorney General isn't some moralist, like President Reagan's Edwin Meese, who inspired the removal of Playboy magazines from 7-Eleven stores in the 1980s.
Fortunately, we live in an age where money truly changes everything, and pot peddlers are likely to find acceptance in a slumping economy.
The state will get tens of millions of dollars in revenues, some of which it will use to build schools. (So, don't smoke marijuana, kids, unless you want to build more schools.)
Marijuana entrepreneurs also will do something many large companies do not: generate jobs. They will draw tourists to Colorado who are expected to buy as much as 30% of the legalized weed here. And they will invent new products, such as marijuana-infused soda pop and peanut butter.
It is too early to declare that this little experiment in free enterprise is not a without potentially disastrous consequences. Someone will soon be arrested for something to do with weed. Some people will see their lives ruined.
But I would wager that more criminal offenders will continue to be sent to prison on alcohol-related offenses. And the pot store will prove less of a drag on society than the liquor store.
"When you have a regulated industry, it just blends in with the scenery," said Walsh. "You have a dispensary next to a Starbucks and a salon, and everyone just walks by."

Cervical cancer is cancer that starts in the cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens at the top of the vagina.
Alternative Names
Cancer – cervix
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Worldwide, cervical cancer is the third most common type of cancer in women. It is much less common in the United States because of the routine use of
Cervical cancers start in the cells on the surface of the cervix. There are two types of cells on the surface of the cervix, squamous and columnar. Most cervical cancers are from squamous cells.
Cervical cancer usually develops slowly. It starts as a precancerous condition called
Almost all cervical cancers are caused by HPV (human papilloma virus). HPV is a common virus that is spread through sexual intercourse. There are many different types (also called strains) of HPV. Some strains lead to cervical cancer. Other strains can cause
A woman's sexual habits and patterns can increase her risk of developing cervical cancer. Risky sexual practices include:
Having sex at an early age
Having multiple sexual partners
Having a partner or many partners who are active in high-risk sexual activities
Risk factors for cervical cancer include:
- Not getting the
HPV vaccine
- Being poor
- Women whose mothers took the drug DES (diethylstilbestrol) during pregnancy in the early 1960s to prevent miscarriage
- Weakened immune system
Most of the time, early cervical cancer has no symptoms. Symptoms that may occur include:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause
- Vaginal discharge that does not stop, and may be pale, watery, pink, brown, bloody, or foul-smelling
- Periods that become heavier and last longer than usual
Cervical cancer may spread to the bladder, intestines, lungs, and liver. Often there are no problems until the cancer is advanced and has spread. Symptoms of advanced cervical cancer may include:
- Back pain
- Bone pain or fractures
- Fatigue
- Leaking of urine or feces from the vagina
- Leg pain
- Loss of appetite
- Pelvic pain
- Single swollen leg
- Weight loss
Signs and tests
Precancerous changes of the cervix and cervical cancer cannot be seen with the naked eye. Special tests and tools are needed to spot such conditions.
Pap smears screen for precancers and cancer, but do not make a final diagnosis.
If abnormal changes are found, the cervix is usually examined under magnification. This procedure is called
colposcopy. Pieces of tissue are surgically removed (biopsied) during this procedure. The tissue is sent to a laboratory for examination.
A procedure called
cone biopsymay also be done.
If cervical cancer is diagnosed, the health care provider will order more tests. These help determine how far the cancer has spread. This is called staging. Tests may include:
- Chest x-ray
- CT scan of the pelvis
Cystoscopy Intravenous pyelogram (IVP) MRIof the pelvis
Treatment of cervical cancer depends on:
The stage of the cancer
The size and shape of the tumor
The woman's age and general health
Her desire to have children in the future
Early cervical cancer can be cured by removing or destroying the precancerous or cancerous tissue. There are various surgical ways to do this without removing the uterus or damaging the cervix, so that a woman can still have children in the future.
Types of surgery for early cervical cancer include:
- Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) — uses electricity to remove abnormal tissue
- Cryotherapy — freezes abnormal cells
- Laser therapy — uses light to burn abnormal tissue
Treatment for more advanced cervical cancer may include:
- Radical hysterectomy, which removes the uterus and much of the surrounding tissues, including lymph nodes and the upper part of the vagina.
- Pelvic exenteration, an extreme type of surgery in which all of the organs of the pelvis, including the bladder and rectum, are removed.
Radiation may be used to treat cancer that has spread beyond the cervix or cancer that has returned.
- One type of radiation therapy uses a device filled with radioactive material. The device is placed inside the vagina next to the cervical cancer. The device is removed before the patient goes home.
- Another type of radiation beams radiation from a large machine onto the body where the cancer is located. It is similar to an x-ray.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer. Some of the drugs used for cervical cancer chemotherapy include 5-FU, cisplatin, carboplatin, ifosfamide, paclitaxel, and cyclophosphamide. Sometimes radiation and chemotherapy are used before or after surgery.

Expectations (prognosis)
How well the patient does depends on many things, including:
- Type of cervical cancer–some types do not respond well to treatment
- Stage of cancer
- Age and general health
- If the cancer comes back after treatment
Precancerous conditions can be completely cured when followed up and treated properly. Most women ar
e alive in 5 years (5-year survival rate) for cancer that has spread to the inside of the cervix walls but not outside the cervix area. The 5-year survival rate falls as the cancer spreads outside the walls of the cervix into other areas.
- Women who have treatment to save the uterus have a high risk of the cancer coming back.
- Surgery and radiation can cause problems with sexual, bowel, and bladder function.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you:
Have not had regular Pap smears
Have abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge
Cervical cancer can be prevented by doing the following:
- Get the HPV vaccine. Two types of vaccines are approved, Gardasil and Cervarix. They prevent against most types of HPV infection that cause cervical cancer. Your health care provider can tell you if the vaccine is right for you.
- Practice safer sex. Using condoms during sex reduces the risk of HPV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- Limit the number of sexual partners you have. Avoid partners who are active in high-risk sex.
- Get regular Pap smears as often as your health care provider recommends. Pap smears can help detect early changes, which can be treated before they turn into cervical cancer.
- If you smoke, quit. Smoking increases your chance of getting cervical cancer.

perlopref document and even posted a portion of the version I am working on. I got some positive feedback and no negative feedback, so I have created a GitHub repository and uploaded what I currently have to it. There has already been one fork that fixed some of my POD stupidity.
If you want to help, just fork my repository, file an issue against my repository claiming an operator, make your change, and then submit a pull request. Note: not all of the operators are currently listed in the file (e.g. the filetest operators and the quote-like operators are not yet listed).
There is no guarantee that this document will make it into a release of Perl, but at the very least I will be creating a CPAN distribution for it.
