Apparently statnot doesn't work for me. I don't get any notifications printed when I send some using notify-send. I'm using the AUR version. I don't have notification-daemon installed.
I think it would be better if statnot just printed its output to stdout. It would make it suitable for other uses without modifying the source, for instance in dzen or dvtm's status bar.
Then, to get it to work in dwm, just pipe it to a script like this:
while read -r LINE; do
xsetroot -name "$LINE"
Assuming it's named dwmstatus:
statnot | dwmstatus
By the way, I'm writing a similar program that should be done pretty soon. Instead of using libnotify though, it uses a file directory similar to the way wmii handles its status bar. Then you have a separate application to feed it libnotify stuff...

I've changed statnot's update_text function to a simple "print text," in hopes of being able to pipe the output into wmii's statusbar, via something like
statnot | while read -r LINE; do
wmiir xwrite /rbar/status "$LINE"
However, even though "statnot" prints the messages normally when run by itself, for some reason, the output is entirely unpipeable. Even running "statnot | cat" does nothing. I've also tried using
subprocess.call(["wmiir", "xwrite", "/rbar/status", text])
inside update_text, but this also produces an empty status bar.
Any ideas on this issue? Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong here?
Edit: I was being stupid and didn't have it set up right in wmiirc it's fixed and works fine now

I've ended up writing to a file and then reading from there with xmonad, and xmobar. Obviously not optimal, but it works.
This is great
And how this can be shown in dzen?
It looks like theres a server error, i cant edit this post until now :s

Thanks and greetings.
* Is this a project worth doing at all?
I can see such a thing being useful for my project, http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC. We've been recommending LXDE, particularly for the older, smaller netbooks like the original model 4G and have supported all models of Eee PC with an eeepc-acpi-scripts package that has its own kludged-together OSD using aosd_cat but not libnotify. We're at the point where we'd like to rip this out and replace it with something better, probably using notify-send to generate the messages and therefore we want to know what to recommend to LXDE users or other users of plain WMs to receive and display the notifications.
* Is python OK or rewrite in e.g. C?
Rewriting in C seems better to keep dependencies light. Dragging in the whole python stack is a bit excessive, though python is nice for prototyping.
* Anything else?
Would you be interested in hacking on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD to reduce dependencies? Maybe do without dbus, and replace gconf with some xdg config instead? I know it's a different approach (not text-only) but it would be easier to drop in on top of *any* WM without having to integrate it, and would meet the "lightweight" criteria.
Thank you for this excellent piece of software! Had never imagined I would be able to get notifications in dwm... now, I wonder, how did I ever live without them? This has replaced conky for me .
Here's my .statusline.sh in case anyone is interested (there's probably a better way to get the memory data from ps_mem):
bat0=`acpi -b | awk -F " " 'NR==1 {print $4}' | tr -d ,`
bat1=`acpi -b | awk -F " " 'NR==2 {print $4}' | tr -d ,`
ram=`sudo ps_mem | awk -F " " '{print $2}' | sed '/^$/d'`
#uptime=`uptime | awk -F " " '{print $3}' | tr -d ,`
time=`date +%H:%M`
echo "BATT ["$bat0"] ["$bat1"] ["$battime"] RAM ["$ram"] ALERTS [$1] "$time"";
I especially love seeing the sound changes from the status bar (I used to always fire up alsamixer just for a visual interface, but now, with statnot, this is not necessary), and I have cron jobs that print visual alerts into the status bar using the notify-send command (e.g. for new mail).

I'm happy some keep using this old sin of mine! I got inspired enough to write 0.0.3 - only a year and a half after 0.0.2. Changes:
* Support for configuration (see statnot -h or http://code.k2h.se/statnot.html , section Configuration)
* Fixed PKGBUILD, so python2 is used
If you hacked the old statnot file to configure, your changes will be lost. Sorry.
Cool thanks for the update! Using it here and it works great. I think this is more of a libnotify question that I asked in a different thread, but maybe you know...is there a way to override an older notification of the same urgency with a newer notification. For example, when changing volume and displaying it with notify-send into the dwm status bar with statnot, each push of the vol up/down button sends the notification, which stays for it's alloted 3 seconds before displaying the next volume level. So if I hit vol-down like 6 times in a row, I get, well, 6 3 second notifications. Any way to hack that to only see the last one? Hope I'm making sense!

Actually, he's posted a solution for this at his website. Here's the pertinent stuff:
notify-send can also be used for other, more direct messages. For exampe, I call a script called dwm-volume when my volume media buttons on the keyboard are pressed. This script adjusts the volume and sends a notification containing e.g. vol [52%] [on].
#!/bin/sh if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then amixer -q set Master $1 fi notify-send -t 0 "`amixer get Master | awk 'NR==5 {print "vol " $4, $6}'`"
As you can see, I use the option -t 0 to notify-send, i.e. I request that the notification should show for zero milliseconds. For statnot, this means that the message should show for a regular status tick, by default two seconds, but if other notifications arrive, like a second press on the volume button, it goes away. This setup allows my audio volume to show only when I change it, while it updates instantly when I press the media buttons.
So in short, if you do
notify-send -t 0
you'll get the desired effect. Happily, not hackish at all .

@Sara -- ah, thanks! That actually works quite well for the volume control. However...
I'm still playing with my weechat notifications -- I have them stay in the status bar for longer: about a minute, so this trick of setting -t0 doesn't work. It would be ideal for the most recent notification to supersede the existing one.

Really? And the regular updates are working when you dont try the -t 0 stuff?
# notify-send -t 5000 "five seconds"; notify-send -t 0 "should not see"; notify-send -t 0 "for a tick";'
You should see the "five seconds" for five seconds, next "for a tick" for two seconds, and then back to your normal statusbar.
I'm happy to take a look at your ~/.statusline.sh if you think another set of eyes can help.
firecat53: Impressive statusline!
It would be ideal for the most recent notification to supersede the existing one.
That this is not the case, is by design. Notifications can come from many places at the same time and build a queue, where each one should show for a certain amount of time if it asks to. I can't think of a way to handle both queue-able notifications and lower priority ones at the same time without adding unproportional complexity. I could add a configuration option to ignore queueing and always show only the most recent one, for the amount of time it asks to be shown.
* 12:00:00 You receive a chat message that should show for 60 seconds.
* 12:00:15 You receive another message, which replaces the old and shows for 60 seconds
* 12:01:15 The regular status line shows
Example 2:
* 12:00:00 You receive a chat message that should show for 60 seconds
* 12:00:02 A volume update comes along with -t 0, and replaces the chat message
* 12:00:04 The regular status line shows
Would that be useful to you?
halhen: Thanks! Actually yes, that would be useful to me. Since my notification usage is pretty limited, that would actually be perfect for my workflow. If I'm playing with the volume, I'm going to see a notification sitting in the statusbar anyways, so it's ok to cancel it and show the volume notification.
There, a new version is in AUR.
To disable queueing, i.e. showing the most recent notification, configure as such:
The project moved from my domain to github, so the few added lines of documentation is at http://github.com/halhen/statnot.
Let me know if I screwed up somewhere.
Hm, I found wmii a couple of days ago, and it didn't handle libnotify events (I use pidgin - there's a hackish way to view notifications, but I really wanted to use the "proper" libnotify way)
Anyway, the default way you use statnot has functionality which is duplicated in wmii, so I thought I might share my setup.
I launch statnot as:
statnot ~/.config/statnot/config.py &
~/.config/statnot/config.py contains:
def update_text(text):
import os
file = open("%s/.config/statnot/notification" % os.getenv("HOME"),"w")
~/.statusline.sh contains:
if [ $# -ge 1 ]; then
echo "NOTIFICATION: $1 | ";
And somewhere in my wmiirc is:
status() {
echo -n $(cat ~/.config/statnot/notification) 'Wireless' $(iwconfig wlan0 | sed 's/ /\n/g' | grep Quality) '|' $(date)
So any notifications found by statnot are put at the start of the wmii status line.
Amazing script, saved me reinventing the wheel (again)
Awesome tool. I found that it reacts bad to the clock adjusting, but i don't know if it can be called a "bug".
However i want to share my setup with 2 windows managers and 1 config file:
This is my statnot.conf
DEFAULT_NOTIFY_TIMEOUT = 5000 # milliseconds
MAX_NOTIFY_TIMEOUT = 7000 # milliseconds
NOTIFICATION_MAX_LENGTH = 100 # number of characters
STATUS_UPDATE_INTERVAL = 3.0 # seconds
# export WMNAME in ~/.xinitrc before the windows manager start
import os
STATUS_COMMAND = ['/bin/bash', '%(HOME)s/scripts/%(WMNAME)s/statnot-statusline.sh' % {'HOME': os.getenv('HOME'), 'WMNAME': os.getenv('WMNAME')}]
WMNAME needs to be exported in .xinitrc. My scripts are placed in $HOME/scripts/$WMNAME/statnot-statusline.sh
My statnot scripts are used in conjunction with dzen2. This is one of my statnot-statusline.sh script that plays well with dzen2 using a named pipe:
# Create the named pipe
[ ! -p /tmp/statnot ] && mkfifo /tmp/statnot
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
# Get date
date=$(echo "^fg(grey)"$(date '+%A %d %B %Y') ; echo "^fg(cyan)"$(date '+%H:%M'))
# Echo results
echo $date >> /tmp/statnot
# Echo notification
echo "NOTIFICATION: $1" >> /tmp/statnot;
Obviusly, dzen2 must be started somewhere like this:
tail -n1 -f /tmp/statnot | dzen2

Stressed? Here are three relaxing experiences in Halifax
Let's face it, many of us are stressed. How do you cram work, self-care, eating well, working out, getting eight hours sleep, and being a sounding board for family and friends into one day? Egad! Many studies have determined that those of us who live in cities experiences a myriad of daily stressors — transit, rising rents, traffic — compared to those who live in rural areas. It's a good thing that Halifax has many spas and places of relaxation to shed some of that urban stress. Here are three of my favourite spots.
The Salt Room [3514 Joseph Howe Drive]
Proponents of halotherapy aka salt therapy aka a salt cave say that a 30-minute session is akin to spending a day at the beach. Not sure that this compares to a day at Crystal Crescent, but my word it's incredibly relaxing. At The Salt Room, you'll sit in, yes, you guessed it, a salt cave that is made from thousands of pounds of compacted Dead Sea salt. Aerosol salt is then pumped through the air and all you have to do it sit it total quiet and focus on your breathing. Fun fact: halotherapy is also touted as a homeopathic treatment of respiratory and skin ailments. You'll emerge, as I did, feeling as if you had a solid nap — it's worth the $30.
NB Ohana Wellness Centre also in Halifax, too, offers halotherapy treatments.
The Summit Day Spa [5495 Spring Garden Road]
Just off the high street that is Spring Garden Road lies the Summit Day Spa that is a balm for these stressful days. Summit Day Spa is more along the lines of what you'd expect from a traditional day spa. Signature treatments include facials, massages, reflexology, manicures and pedicures. However, the SEA facial ($149) is, in a word, heavenly. Wild, organic Canadian seaweeds are combined with ocean mud and sea salt (see, salt again) to create a pampering experience that will leave you relaxed and zen. Trust me; you may have an out-of-body experience during this 80-minute treatment. Also, fellas, if you suffer from bacne (back acne), Summit Day Spa has a dedicated treatment just for that!
The Floatation Centre [2631 King Street]
Disclaimer: if you are claustrophobic, this treatment will be more agony-inducing than relaxing. Now, that's out the way let's talk about being floating in a personal cocoon. The Flotation Centre, as the name suggests, offers flotation therapy sessions ($65 for 75 minutes) which are an extremely effective means of stress relief and relaxation. Flotation, also known as R.E.S.T (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy), sees you climbing into a sensory deprivation tank filled with enough salt water (ok I won't repeat it. Nah. See, salt!) to make you buoyant. The outside world and all its stress disappear while you float and after enjoy tea in the lounge to extend your newly-found state of relaxation. Note: The Flotation Centre is an inclusive space that welcomes all bodies, and members of LGBTQ+ communities.

Home > Metalor > News > Metalor – the leading gold refiner worldwide for its efforts on conflict gold and improvement of artisanal mining
Metalor is the leading gold refiner worldwide for its efforts on conflict gold and improvement of artisanal mining where conflict, social and environmental problems arise. Metalor, alone among gold refiners, took a leading role in the OECD Gold Supplement drafting committee for the past two years to create a worldwide due diligence guidance to avoid finance of conflict through gold transactions. In these efforts we have worked with governments, leading NGOs and industry associations to create guidance that is strong and effective, and that has been widely endorsed. We have also worked directly with industry associations to implement that guidance through their membership compliance standards, and became the first gold refiner worldwide to be audited and certified to the corporate social responsibility (2010) and conflict-free (2012) standards of the Responsible Jewellery Council at all of our refineries. We have also worked intensively with the London Bullion Market Association and with the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and Global e-Sustainability Initiative to create their conflict-free standards. All of these associations conform their standards to the OECD Guidance and Gold Supplement, which have been recently endorsed by the United States government.
The OECD has recognized in its Gold Supplement the particular problems and concerns associated with artisanal gold mining, where many millions of very poor persons work, and strongly urged in its Gold Supplement that all participants work toward formalization and improvement of that sector. Metalor is the first refiner worldwide to respond to that request through the Swiss Better Gold Initiative. This initiative combines the efforts of the governments of Peru and Switzerland, the Responsible Jewellery Council and NGO Fairtrade/Fairmined, Metalor, and consumers of gold in Switzerland. Its goal is to formalize a large group of artisanal miners in Peru, with guidance and standards for improved environmental and social working conditions and operations, and to bring that gold into the formal gold industry to concerned consumers in a sustainable way. This project is considered by the government of Switzerland to be a part of its humanitarian efforts in developing countries, and its Federal Department of Foreign Affairs recently invited Metalor, alone among gold refiners, to describe this project in a public forum of business and human rights.
All Peruvian companies that export their gold to Metalor are legally established and registered in the Ministry of Mines. All exports are duly reported at SUNAT by Metalor's customers.
All Metalor customers fulfill complete due diligence procedures according to the Swiss law and AML-requirements. The Peruvian customers in addition have also provided following documents:
- sworn statement regarding CSR, environmental protection and human rights
- sworn statement confirming that the exploitation, extraction, and export of minerals fully comply with Peruvian laws
- confirmation that the companies have appointed compliance officers specifically for above subjects.
Recently Metalor has engaged with the government of Peru in its efforts to formalize and improve that country's large artisanal mining sector. Metalor's local representative, a native of Peru with long experience in gold mining in that country, engages in frequent consultation with the Ministry of Mines about gold operations in general and about Metalor operations in particular. Metalor has also taken action to comply with and implement strict new Peruvian mining laws, even where that has resulted in the loss of significant business, and will continue to do so while these laws are implemented throughout the country. Metalor Managers have become trusted partners with the government of Peru in these efforts.Please use the request form for more information

In 2005, 18 year old Michael Simmons shot a weapon with blanks into the air. This first time offender was sentenced to 25 years although no one was injured or killed, receiving more time than one who commits murder.
Mr. Simmons didn't receive a fair trial. He had thirty minutes to decide to plead guilty and serve twenty years or take his case to trial and serve a maximum sentence of forty four years, if found guilty. It was the job of the public defender to ensure that his client received a fair trial. Immediately, the judge should have intervened because they are to ensure that their hearings are conducted in a fair manner. Since there weren't any continuances allowed for this particular case, a psych evaluation or drug screen wasn't completed to ensure that Michael was even capable of attending trial, his Human Rights was violated.
It is the state representative's job to form state laws that benefit not only their constituents but also the people that have to follow them while the attorney general has authority in the areas of consumer protection and organized crime. NO ONE seems to be protecting the underprivileged and I want to put a stop to that!

Homeless speak up on city's order to vacate
Homeless people are speaking out about the Des Moines order to move their tents and belongings out of parks and city property.
There are about 1,000 homeless people in Polk County, some in shelters or staying with friends. But others aren't as lucky.
Every day thousands of people pass by homeless camps hidden under bridges and along rivers in Des Moines.
"It's not easy out here like they think it is," said Jeff, a homeless man currently staying at a shelter. Jeff, who preferred not to give his last name, was looking for a friend in a camp along the Raccoon River.
Jeff said he is getting back on his feet now, living at a shelter and working to save money for his own apartment. He said that after the shelter, he plans to stay with a friend if he can. Otherwise, he plans on setting up a tent somewhere.
Jeff also said he thinks the city isn't being fair to homeless people.
"The city is making a big deal about it, you know. They're not bothering anybody, so why even mess with them?"
David Costello is an advocate for homeless people and said the city's order is all about the image.
"Most humanity, when they see someone that's suffering or hurting or homeless, they feel uncomfortable and they don't know what to do about it," he said.
"They're scared. They want the same thing you and I want. They want to be treated with respect. They want safety, security and stability."
Costello also said the better way to handle the homeless situation is to address the source of the problem, which is inadequate mental health access for the poor.
A court hearing is scheduled for July 7 on the issue. City Attorney Jeff Lester told KCCI the best outcome would be the city helping all homeless people find a place to live.

Legend of the Unicorn
The mythical unicorn has long been a source of enchantment. Solitary, swift and graceful, the unicorn had a single spiraling horn growing from its forehead. Sought by many, the unicorn's horn was said to have medicinal and magical properties. According to legend, the unicorn disregarded Noah's call to board the ark, preferring to frolic in the rains of the Flood. Ever since, unicorns exist only in our imaginations.

A pregnant Jessica Simpson on the cover of Elle magazine was apparently too much for some customers of a Tucson Safeway who prompted management to cover it with cardboard.
The April edition features the photo of the singer/actress/fashion designer on its cover with one hand covering an exposed breast and another wrapped around her nude belly.

A spokeswoman for Safeway tells the Arizona Daily Star the manager of the store on East Tanque Verde Road near Catalina Highway received "multiple complaints," so the image was covered with cardboard to block any parts that might be offensive.
The Star reports a walk through the store Thursday afternoon didn't reveal any bits of cardboard shrouding Simpson's image. However, the magazines had been turned around.

The Cubs minor leagues were in full effect on Wednesday with the AZL Cubs and Daytona each playing 7-inning double headers.
The AZL Cubs scored three in the first inning of the first game and that was all Ryan McNeil and company would need beating the Diamondbacks 3-0. McNeil was outstanding pitching four scoreless innings giving up five hits and striking out two. Rafael Dolis continued his rebab pitching the next 1.1 innings and getting the win. Jasvir Rakkar earned his first save of the year, striking out four of the five outs he recorded. Anthony Giansanti also continued his rehab assignment going 1-for-2 with a double and two RBIs. Justin Marra also had a hit and an RBI in the victory. Shawon Dunston continued his impressive stretch at the plate going 2-for-3 with a run scored. Ben Carhart and Yasiel Balauert also had a hit in the game.
Game two was scoreless until Anthony Giansanti stepped to the plate in the bottom of the seventh. Giansanti delivered hitting a walk off homer as the Cubs swept the double-header against the Diamondbacks. The Cubs used three pitchers in this one as Corbin Hoffner got the start striking out two and allowing three hits in three innings. Some more good news was the return of Ben Wells who began his rebab assignment in style striking out the side in his one inning. Alvido Jimenez ended the scoreless day pitcing the final three innings and getting his second win of the season. Carlos Penalver, David Bote, and Yasiel Balaguert all had a hit in game two of the double-header. The Cubs remain three games behind the A's for first place, but are leading the wild card by three games over the Giants.
Boise just keeps rolling as they beat up Vancouver 11-6. The offense was the story in this one as they pounded out 17 hits to go along with those 11 runs. Stephen Bruno is just raking right now as he went 3-for-6 with two runs scored and two RBIs. He is now hitting .344 on the season and .439 in his last 10. Izaac Garsez and Wilson Contreras each had really nice games both having three hits and driving in two runs a piece. Garsez also scored three runs and stole his first base of the season. Carlos Escobar and Darien Martin both had two hits with Escobar knocking in two. Marco Hernandez also had two RBIs and Gioskar Amaya had one of his own. Justin Amlung got the start, but only lasted two innings as he gave up three runs on six hits. Michael Heesch then pitched two scoreless innings and got his second win of the season. James Pugliese struck out six over the next three innings, but did give up three runs before getting the ball to Nathan Dorris. Dorris closed this one out striking out two over the final two innings of the game. Boise remains six games up on the Yakima Bears with their magic number down to four.
Beloit got off to a great start, but Peoria came roaring back scoring four in the sixth and one in the eighth to tie it up before scoring three in the 13th and beating Beloit 9-6. Timothy Saunders continues to impress at the plate going 4-for-6 with a stolen base, three runs scored and two RBIs. He is now hitting .391 with Peoria in 11 games. Jorge Soler was back at it going 2-for-6 with a stolen base, three runs scored and an RBI. Jacob Rogers and Bijan Rademacher each had a hit and an RBI and Pin-Chieh Chen had two hits. Starling Peralta started, but struggled with his command walking five in five innings. He also gave up five hits and allowed four runs, three earned, and struck out four. After Bryce Shafer gave up an unearned run the rest of the Chiefs staff threw up zeros. First Pete Levitt struck out four in 2.2 innings, then Sheldon McDonald struck out four in his two innings. Luis Liria came on to shut the door in the 13th and recorded his fifth save of the season.
Game one of Daytona's double-header was decided early as Clearwater scored two in the first and Daytona scored one in the second. Nothing would change as the Cubs lost game one 2-1. PJ Francescon started and took the loss striking out four and giving up two runs in three innings. Eduardo Figueroa, Matt Spencer, and AJ Morris all did their job not allowing another hit and shutting Clearwater down over the next three innings. The offense just couldn't get it going, which is to be expected as they haven't played in several days. Taylor Davis was 2-for-2 and drove in the only Cubs run in this one. Christian Villanueva hit a double and scored the Cubs lone run in the loss. John Andreoli and Elieser Bonne also had hits and Javier Baez was 0-for-3.
Game two didn't go much better for Daytona as Clearwater jumped out early scoring three in the first and never looked back beating the Cubs 4-2. Frank Del Valle was on the hook for all four runs, only three of which were earned in four innings of work. Ryan Searle and Hunter Cervenka each pitched a scoreless inning a piece. Offensively there were a couple bright spots, one of which was Ronald Torreyes who was 3-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. Vladimir Frias had two hits of his own and Nelson Perez added a hit and an RBI. The offense is obviously having a hard time getting in any kind of rhythm as games have been few and far between.
Tennessee was embarrassed on Wednesday losing to Chattanooga 11-1. Dae-Eun Rhee started and took the loss giving up three runs on nine hits in 5.2 innings. Things didn't get any better as Casey Weathers gave up three runs after recording just one out. After Zach Rosscup struck out the side in the seventh, Casey Harman gave up five runs, only one of which was earned in the eighth inning. Dustin Harrington struck out two in the ninth, that's right Dustin Harrington, the same guy who plays third base. He was 2-for-2 at the plate as well, hitting a double and scoring a run. Matt Szczur was the only other Smokie to have a hit as he had a triple and drove in the lone Cubs run.
Iowa was winning 3-1 into the eighth, but gave up five over the next two innings and lost 6-3. Horacio Ramirez was great on Wednesday giving up one run on seven hits in seven innings pitched. Blake Parker struggled and took the loss giving up three runs in the eighth and Jairo Asencio allowed two unearned runs in the ninth. Dave Sappelt had a nice day at the plate going 2-for-4 with a triple and two RBIs. Brian Esposito had a hit and an RBI and Blake Lalli had a hit and scored a run in the loss. Adrian Cardenas finally got to play baseball again and was 1-for-4 with a run scored. It is tough to see Parker give this one up, as his rehab has been going quite well thus far, but I am sure he will come back strong in his next outing.
Thanks for Reading,

Pacific Business Center Program students win business plan competition
PBCP students continue to develop groundbreaking projectsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Pacific Business Center Program
HONOLULU — University of Hawaiʻi Pacific Business Center Program (PBCP) graduate research assistants Renata Matcheva, Doris Miocinovic and Pearl Ueranant recently took the top $20,000 prize in the traditional category of the 8th annual UH Business Plan Competition. Their business plan for Mānoa Biosciences (formerly Mānoa Transgenics) focused on an innovative gene insertion technology to develop transgenic mice and proprietary gene delivery plasmids that could one day prove its efficiency for gene therapy.
In March, the UH Shidler College of Business MBA students took the same business plan to Asia. In Bangkok, Thailand, they advanced to the semi-final round of the Asia Moot Corp 2007 Business Plan Competition.
"Shidler faculty provide the bulk of the technical support and Shidler provides most of PBCP's graduate student staff," said PBCP director Papalii Dr. Failautusi Avegalio. "PBCP's scope and depth of data, research, professional, technical, student internship and technological services to the region and the state are compelling."
The majority of students that PBCP employs are MBA students at the UH Shidler College of Business, which "U.S. News and World Report" ranks among the nation's top 25 graduate programs for international business. In addition, many of the center's student-staffers are Beta Gamma Sigma honorees, having been in the upper 20 percent of their graduating master's class.
By applying classroom learning to real-world problems, a number of PBCP graduate assistants have gained valuable experience working at PBCP that has helped them go far in a number of recent UH Business Plan competitions.
Todd Inouye, another current PBCP graduate research assistant, was on one of 32 teams of 67 to reach the semi-finals of the 2007 UH Business Plan Competition. His plan for Chinese language character search software received an honorable mention as one of the top 6 in its category.
In 2006, a team of two PBCP graduate research assistants, Rachelle Fahrni and Renata Matcheva, and their business plan for a natural product to provide farmers with a solution for poultry manure management, was one of six finalists in a field that started out with more than 50 teams.
2005 business plan competitors Sharon Sakuma, Monique Wedderburn, and Melissa Kramer, then PBCP students or staff, finished among six finalists from a field of 60 teams for their plan to market traditional island products online.
Avegalio said, "You are only as good as the people you have working with you." Avegalio attributes the success of PBCP and the HMBEC to the quality of professional and student staff. "Not only do we recruit and select for the best, we encourage creativity and innovation amongst all our staff; looking to creating the future with actions in the present. Not to stop the future but to shape it using modern knowledge guided by ancient wisdom to improve the quality of life and welfare of pacific communities and region we serve."
In addition to groundbreaking work by PBCP graduate students in the advancement of gene therapy, software development and marketing of island products, which has drawn acclaim in Hawaiʻi and abroad, the center won four consecutive national awards from 2002 to 2005 for its projects in the Marshall Islands, American Samoa, and Hawaiʻi.
PBCP's Pacific projects were named outstanding project of the year in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 by the University Economic Development Association, formerly called NAMTAC. Work included resettlement planning assistance for the Rongelap Atoll Local Government in the Marshall Islands; business management strategies for the Development Bank of American Samoa; business plans for clients of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs' Native Hawaiian Revolving Loan Fund; connecting Hawaii-based company Oils of Aloha with a candlenut oil processing enterprise in East Timor.
In keeping with its high standards of performance, PBCP has expanded to include the establishment and operation of the Honolulu Minority Business Enterprise Center (HMBEC) inaugurated January 2005. The HMBEC recently received a rating of ʻOutstanding' by the Regional Office of the Minority Business Development Administration in San Francisco. Since its inception, it has assisted in creating $58 million in financial transactions for minority business enterprises.
"Our vision, mission statement and core values drive everything we do," said Avegalio. "Our formula is simple. Clear purpose, plus core values, plus quality staff, plus quality support equals quality service."
About the Pacific Business Center Program
The Pacific Business Center Program, located at the Shidler College of Business at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa was established in 1979. PBCP's mission is helping indigenous island economies help themselves by adapting the resources of the University of Hawaii to support Pacific Island economic, business and community development in a manner that is holistic, responsible and builds local island capacity. PBCP funders include the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration, the U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs, the University of Hawaiʻi System, the UH Mānoa Shidler College of Business, Chuuk State, the Republic of Palau's Ministry of Commerce & Trade and the Bank of the Orient.

During the last CNP meet everyone felt we need to bring out a CNP coffee table book! This will be non-commercial effort and the book will be available for buying at cost price. Several CNPians have volunteered to complete this huge task which probably will take more than 6 months of effort (since this not our full time job). There were multiple discussions/views/suggestions among group of folks during the meet. We plan to take this effort with all your support.
We would like to share the proposed plan as it stands today! Please stay tuned and share your views/suggestions. When we complete this task we will have the book to see, enjoy and feel proud off! We need all your support to complete this huge effort. We will keep you updated with the progress we make in this thread.
- CNP Staff
The current sketch of the plan
What it takes to bring out a book?
- Selection of images
- Written/mail consent from copyright owners (CNPians)
- Preparing written content for the book (what and how - design)
- Review of the written content
- Preparing high resolution images/processing images for an uncompromising quality print
- Book design - cover designs, internal layout designs, fitting images, written content to chosen layout
- Soft Proofing, book as PDF (a side product)
- Choosing appropriate print media
- Reviewing first copy
- Review feedback incorporation
- Working with a publisher (probably we will take self publishing route)
- final printed copies in hand!
Structure of the teams & responsibilities (arrived based on interest/volunteering)
- Book Design Team (Saurabh Desai, Lila - both of them seem to have design team/design background, RD, Ganesh)
- Responsible for designing the book using Adobe InDesign (or whatever the chosen book design software)
This includes front/back cover design and internal layout of the book with images and written content (Saurabh and his team)
- Providing suggestions/review feedback on overall design (Lila/RD/Ganesh)
- Image Selection Team (VMR, Ramesh Adkoli, Shankar Kiragi, Praveen P Mohandas, Nevil, Nirlep, Adithya Biloor, Jayesh Joshi)
This team will select N images based on the selection criteria below (we need to decide on total number of images)
This will be a tough job, we have over 9000 images to go through!
- Image Post Processing Team (Raj/Ganesh/Saurabh(if he has time)/Ashwini Kumar Bhat/Shivakumar L/Ravi Prakash SS)
This team processes each image using fully calibrated print workflow. We should make every attempt to preserve the artistic intent of the creator of the image.
The owner of the image prepares the high resolution image matching her/his creative intent. Final tweaking for the print workflow will be done by this team.
- Written content team (VMR & Nirlep)
- Based on the selected images this team prepares written content
- Content review team (Lila, Sriharsha, Shivakumal L)
- This team is responsible for review of the written content - syntax and semantics.
- QA team (RD/Vikas/Ganesh)
- Responsible for ensuring final uncompromising quality of the book! The book will not be mass printed without the approval by this team
- Working with a chosen publisher (Saurabh + whomever he chooses to support him)
Book size & paper type
Image Selection Criteria
Fair mix of natural history and art
Fair mix of color & B/W
Having enough resolution to be able to print at 300dpi for the chosen size
(this means we need 300 pixels to make 1 inch print. For example an image of dimension 900 pixels x 600 pixels can only yield 3 inches x 2 inches print)
Image Selection Process (to be followed by the image selection team)
- Each member of the image selection team selects N "timeless" images except her/him own
- The image belongs to a person who is currently a member of CNP and agrees for its non-commercial use in the book
- The team debates,collates and make a final selection of N images (We will print M images, M<N)
- Request for high resolution files will be sent along with written consent for the intended use
- Ensures the needed quality for printing in those high resolution files
- The team will hand over M high resolution images to the post processing team.
Proposed start date
1 June 2016
Proposed end date
1 Jan 2017
Summary of suggestions/thoughts/views so far.
For the text - as we had discussed in Dandeli, how about considering the valuable and thoughtful comments that are there in the gallery / discussion forum.
Many times it has so happened that the comments have gone beyond that particular image which has triggered the thread. The challenge is to find out such instances and dig those comments which talk about 'creativity', 'composition', 'breaking the rule', etc in general and that can be worth of preserving.
As we all agree that it is not just the images but the discussions like these that has happened around these images which has made this forum what it is today.
Showcasing just the images as part of the book would mean to leave one entire part of the community. Having these thoughtful comments / articles in between the images would give more holistic pleasure to the reader and reduce our effort in coming up with separate text to describe each of the finally selected images.
Most CT books are made with a theme. But I can visualise CNP CT book will be close to WPY yearly book.
Can we also include a page introducing the rationale behind starting CNP and the thoughts behind creating this platform from your POV? I guess it will act as a great starting point for people to start enjoying the images. Also are we considering grouping images into specific themes, like BW, Blurs and OOFs, Abstracts etc?
1. Do we have one write-up in the beginning followed by pictures without words or we want to have write-up with each picture
2. Coming to Shankar's poser; do we divide the book into various sub-themes with write-up for each. How do we include photographers' own vision behind his/her pictures
3. Will the pictures be color only
4. Foreword by the core editorial team touching upon the need to have a forum like CNP and the way ahead
5. Ashwin's point about including interesting comments would make the book more engrossing
and distressed borders for pictures?
Unlike an exhibition a book has certain unique features
- It is permanently available to one for repeated viewing: So we must make the viewer go back and find new meaning over a period of time
- It is a little more controlled experience in terms of sequencing and pairing of images. You can see a contrast from two facing images
- A visual experience which makes you come back to it see it again think about it and give you that "Aha" moment
In that sense I was thinking an uninterrupted flow of images as a well as thought out sequence based on a philosophy rather than subject centric
We should sequence flow of images to a theme and we should pair images to add to the ability to uncover new meanings and open new conversations within and without
A philosophy foreword and in the end a description for each picture by page number ?
till which (uploaded) date we should consider images for selection? Till March 2015 or end of 2015 or ..?
How about choosing the cover image for the book? Has that been factored into the Image selection process? And defining the criteria for choosing the cover image

we need to have pm's on here.. not every word should have to be said in public.. especially if you are working 1 on 1 with someone specifically or want to show a specific someone something.. regardless of this "open source" chatting. people do have a right to privacy as well. i don't need a million people knowing exactly what i'm working on. kinda hard to get the exact help one needs on something without having to give up the whole project to everyone.
i personally have never seen a board without pm's.. ever! this is a definite first... and very annoying actually.
just saying..

Bananas are widely regarded as one of the most versitile plants in the world providing starch, nutrients, foliage, fauna and the ever popular tropical look. Bananas belong to a family of plants called Musaceae, this makes it a close relative of heliconias and travelers palm. Banana are ofter reffered as "trees" but in fact they are a herbaceous perennial. Most types require full sun for best fruit production but some prefer shade, especially for ornamental varieties (no fruit, but flowers) such as Musella lasiocarpa. There are many varieties of dwarf types and varieties that reach over 30 feet in height. Plantains look and grow just like bananas but are primarily used in cooked dishes. There are hybrid types that are crosses between banana and plantain. Some you cook, some you don't. There are also ornamental bananas. Some boast colorful leaves and some boast interesting shapes. You can not over feed nor can you over water banana plants although good drainage is required. Bananas require soil rich in organic matter. Ideally, your rich soil (non muck-like soils) would be over one foot deep with two feet being even better. Raised areas of soil will also help provide adequate drainage. After the bananas corm has matured the tree will start to grow fast. As the first stem starts to grow, another stem will appear close to the first stem finally creating the appearance of a trunk. However this is actually a pseudo trunk. Some banana cultivars have been around for centuries, propagating by human division. Most species of bananas prefer tropical to subtropical growing zones although some Banana cultuvars such as musa Basjoo can be grown as far north as zone 6 giving virtually anyone the ability to grow and experience the wonderful versitile banana tree. The banana some 400 cultivars have earned this writers admiration the world over.

I came home with great advice from kind nurses and doctors after having my baby. One that can definitely apply to this romantic holiday is not to forget about your significant other in the excitement and planning of a baby. She said, "don't always think baby, baby, baby. Make a little time for your significant other…even if it's 5 minutes." Great advice!
And guys, if you are still searching for the perfect gift for the expectant mother in your life, we love this idea.
Happy Valentine's Day from everyone at Carousel Designs!

A viral infection is caused by a virus and is often the cause
of minor illness, such as a cold or the stomach flu. A viral infection usually
causes many different symptoms that often come on quickly (over hours to a day
or two) without prior illness.
Viral infections that cause minor
illnesses are usually not serious. And they go away without medical treatment. Home
treatment can relieve the symptoms of colds and stomach flu. And home treatment can prevent
problems, such as dehydration, too. Antibiotics are not used to treat a viral
illness and will not help cure a viral illness.
Some immunizations
can prevent viral infections, including influenza (flu), chickenpox, and
measles. Practicing good hygiene and avoiding close contact with sick people can also help
prevent infection.

Non-partisan UK-based Disability campaign. Advocacy for people with invisible illness and/or physical & mental health conditions. Also Carers, their Families and Friends. Our individual voices are too quiet to be heard, but collectively we can shout loud enough to drown out this tide of abuse against us. Disability Hate Crime, lack of full legal protection, people in care homes costing too much to be let out and not one political party willing to fight for us.

T'was The Night Before Christmas - By @Hossylass
MP's were feasting on subsidised grouse
Their expenses were listed and nobody cared
That the cries of disabled were going unheard
The Members soon nestled in tax funded beds
While visions of riches danced in their heads
And a subservient underclass doffing its cap
Settled their brains for a long winter nap
When out in the streets there came such a clatter
They crawled from their beds to see what was the matter
Drapes cast asunder, it was clear in a flash
That the strivers were clearing the Ministerial trash
The cleaners had trudged in through 8 inches of snow
To buff and to polish the offices below
No living wage at the end of the day
Just tax payer subsidised minimum pay
And out in the doorways of numerous places
The homeless and helpless shielded their faces
Their hopes and their dreams had drifted away
Replaced by despair at another new day.
But this year at Christmas a miracle appears
An army of deviant kind volunteers
Disability Ninjas armed with the facts
Savaging proposals with a symbolic axe
And along the blade the words burn bright
"You will not destroy us, we will turn and fight"
To speak for those who's voices are small
Voices ignored, if heard at all
Churches and Unions stood up to fight
To demand what is reasonable, and what is right
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the land
Tears are shed at what is planned
By the people who with enormous wealth
Are happy to endanger the very health
Of the people who quietly every day
Keep the country ticking away
NHS nurses and other health workers
In danger of becoming next weeks "shirkers"
But the Charities, activists and Unions united
Now they will help the lives of the blighted
The poor, the rejected, the lost in despair
We will reach out and comfort and show that we care
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the lands
The sword of truth awakens in our own hands
And when it seems to heavy to swing
Remember the miracles that Christmas can bring.

Moving, emotional and so sadly true.
I was doing something similar for Xmas but, your words make mine just fade away into nothing.
Thanks for sharing.

@ Anonymous 18 February 2013 18:07: Mobility scooters are exempt from vehicle tax, but if you have a class 3 scooter or powered wheelchair (capable of speeds greater than 4MPH up to 8MPH) then it should be registered with the DVLA. Also, while insurance for such vehicles isn't mandatory, it is recommended nevertheless. After all, accidents can happen no matter how careful someone is.

There have been a few interesting discussions going on in parallel about my slaughter sysadmin tool.
I've now decided there will be a 2.0 release, and that will change things for the better. At the moment there are two main parts to the system:
- Downloading polices
These are instructions/perl code that are applied to the local host.
- Downloading files
Polices are allowed to download files. e.g. /etc/ssh/sshd_config templates, etc.
Both these occur over HTTP fetches (SSL may be used), and there is a different root for the two trees. For example you can see the two public examples I have here:
A fetch of the policy "foo.policy" uses the first prefix, and a fetch of the file "bar" uses the latter prefix. (In actual live usage I use a restricted location because I figured I might end up storing sensitive things, though I suspect I don't.)
The plan is to update the configuration file to read something like this:
transport = http # # Valid options will be # rsync | http | git | mercurial | ftp # # # each transport will have a different prefix # prefix = http://static.steve.org.uk/private # for rsync: # prefix=rsync.example.com::module/ # # for ftp: # prefix=ftp://ftp.example.com/pub/ # # for git: # prefix=git://github.com/user/repo.git # # for mercurial # prefix=http://repo.example.com/path/to/repo #
I anticipate that the HTTP transport will continue to work the way it currently does. The other transports will clone/fetch the appropriate resource recursively to a local directory - say /var/cache/slaughter. So the complete archive of files/policies will be available locally.
The HTTP transport will continue to work the same way with regard to file fetching, i.e. fetching them remotely on-demand. For all other transports the "remote" file being copied will be pulled from the local cache.
So assuming this:
transport = rsync prefix = rsync.company.com::module/
Then the following policy will result in the expected action:
if ( UserExists( User => "skx" ) ) { # copy FetchFile( Source => "/global-keys", Dest => "/home/skx/.ssh/authorized_keys2", Owner => "skx", Group => "skx", Mode => "600" ); }
The file "/global-keys" will refer to /var/cache/slaughter/global-keys which will have been already downloaded.
I see zero downside to this approach; it allows HTTP stuff to continue to work as it did before, and it allows more flexibility. We can benefit from knowing that the remote policies are untampered with, for example, via the checking built into git/mercurial, and the speed gains of rsync.
There will also be an optional verification stage. So the code will roughly go like this:
- 1. Fetch the policy using the specified transport.
- 2. (Optionally) run some local command to verify the local policies.
- 3. Execute policies.
I'm not anticipating additional changes, but I'm open to persuasion.

Letter from the Editor: Training for and by interpreters

Best car ever owned
By Harv on Tuesday, September 24, 2019Perfect car for anyone or anyone with a small family. It's safe, it's easy to maintain and work on yourself, it's inexpensive to maintain, it gets great mileage, it's fun, it handles so well in the rain or dry road conditions, it's comfortable on long rides. The sound system sounds great. You sacrifice acceleration and power for 40mpg. That's ok with me. I've owned it for 3.5 years and would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Good performance, very cheap interior materials
By BillT on Friday, May 03, 2019Excellent basic cheaper car with good gas mileage, good brakes, and good drivability. A little noisy, but like most in its class. Cruise control is terrible with any hills on your trip. No real cupholders, power outlets, or USB plugs in the back even though this is NOT the low end Corolla. The seat material stains way too easily and can't be cleaned, even by the dealer. The floor "carpet" is NOT carpet, but felt---which CANNOT be vacuumed or really cleaned well at all. It is the worst floor material I have ever had since my first car(of many) since 1962! Bought used with 7000 miles, I took it to my dealer every 500 miles for checkup and service. At 38K, I took off the wheel to check the brakes and found the inside of the rotors were heavily grooved while the outside was barely used. The calipers were BOTH frozen. Unfortunately, neither brakes or calipers are covered under any warranty, and the dealership (Acton Totoya) offered me nothing when I showed them the problem! How could they have missed such a big problem if they really checked my car over each time? I fixed it all myself and now, with 68K, have had NO more problems with the brakes. The plastic front overhang is too low and has broken off twice when hitting the curb stones in parking lots while parking at low speed. The left front two speakers have not worked since about 10K and I haven't taken the door apart to find out why, but heard there is a problem with the door wiring just above the lower speaker. Except for the brakes thing, it has been an economical and zippy commuter car, but I will definitely go back to the Camry next time!

Speaker: Trevor Barkhouse. Trevor is a DBA on the Database Escalations and Implementations team for Terremark Worldwide, Inc. He is also a volunteer on the board of the NTSSUG and maintains the groups websiteTopic: Leveraging PSSDiag/SQLDiag for Efficient Troubleshooting
Overview: Over the years, Microsoft Customer Service and Support has developed a number of amazing tools for troubleshooting SQL Server. Thankfully many of these tools have been shared with the public. In this session I will demonstrate the configuration and usage of PSSDiag (for SQL Server 2000) and SQLDiag (for SQL Server 2005 and 2008), which collect valuable diagnostic data. We will then analyze the data using RML Utilities as well as a few scripts of my own. Come and see how these tools can save you massive amounts of troubleshooting time!

This is the third artist I've met - each in a different state - who has gone on to have his/her first NYC solo show at Priska Juschka. I am liking this gallery.
Did I mention this? I saw that Aaron Johnson show at Priska Juschka and when I asked something about the process was *wowed* by the explanation. Not so much the content, but that the gallery person who was explaining went on and on and on, smiling and friendly.... she was REALLY genuinely into it and talking about it, saying he had recently given a lecture in the gallery. She was kind of amazing.
Harry Roseman - 100 Most Popular Colors, opening September 25, at Davis & Langdale Company.
Amie Oliver - Walk the Walk, opening September 28, at Plant Zero (in Richmond).
Rosanna Bruno - is included in The Fluid Field: Abstraction & Reference, curated by Dona Nelson (herself a very interesting painter), October 3-21, at Tyler (in Philadelphia).
Rosanna is showing with Natasha Bowdoin, Angela Dufresne, Anoka Faruqee, Louise Fishman, Deborah Grant, Iva Gueorguieva, Liz Markus, Rebecca Saylor Sack, Tanaya Neal.
- an all lady show, i guess. why? is there a reason? is it a statement? how many all-lady show statements before i am allowed to say "enough/barf"?
plus -
Roger White - has started a new journal - with Dushko Petrovich - called Paper Monument.
(ps - anaba friend is a very loose term. many anaba relationships are imagined)

when you start to say "enough barf" everytime there is an "all boy show", do you have the same reaction when you see a group show of all men? i bet it doesnt even cross your mind? i hate all women or all men shows, but she has a point, until the MEN start refusing to be in all male shows, this will continue.

Khloe Kardashian and her basketball star husband Lamar Odom are getting a reality show, along with her little brother and permanent houseguest.
The E! eight-episode series, tentatively titled "Khloe & Lamar," will begin filming early this year, focusing on the couple and her brother, Rob Kardashian, the network said. Kardashian later confirmed it on her blog.
"Ok dolls, it's official! Lamar and I will soon begin filming our very own show on E! called Khloe & Lamar!" she wrote. "WOOOOHOOOOOOOO! How exciting is this?! It's been an option since we got married, but we wanted to enjoy our first year in private."
U.S. & World
Kardashian and her family already star in "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and she and sister Kourtney appeared in "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami."
Kardashian and Odom, a forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, married in 2009.
"Khloe and Lamar are such a dynamic couple that we just knew we had to give them their own series," E! executive vice president Lisa Berger said.
"They are funny, dramatic, opinionated, and we intend to capture all this, along with the unvarnished reality of their lives together and apart, since each is constantly followed by their own celebrity spotlight."
