aspell dependency.
Terence commented on 2019-09-26 11:42
@nightuser dirty hack but very effective :) thanks!
nightuser commented on 2019-09-26 07:11
@Terence: I added a small hack to build mate themes only if
marco is already installed. Works for me buy can you test it on your system, please?
Terence commented on 2019-09-25 18:20
What are the dependencies that would pull gnome-shell? It's not a big deal but yeah I can either just do --rmdeps or use sub-packages.
nightuser commented on 2019-09-25 18:18
Well, another option would be to support sub-packages and allow building only specific ones. I'll look into it soon.
nightuser commented on 2019-09-25 18:16
@Terence: So, what someone who uses mate and not gnome should do? Install unneeded dependencies for gnome? If you don't want to have make-dependencies in your system then add
-r (or
--rmdeps) flag to
makepkg. They'll be removed after a successful build.
Terence commented on 2019-09-25 10:23
@nightuser sure, it's just that it's 'forcing' me to install unwanted/unneeded stuffs.
nightuser commented on 2019-09-25 09:23
@Terence: but Mate desktop doesn't have any dependencies. I mean, it's just a few dependencies.
Terence commented on 2019-09-24 21:25
@nightuser you can probably remove
--enable-airforsteam now:
Also, the makedepends on marco pulls mate-desktop which is inconvenient if you don't actually use it.

Video: Fermented Tomato Ketchup
Ready to try something new? Watch Emma's recipe video for a delicious Fermented Tomato Ketchup!Get the recipe
Swapping fatty or sugary foods for healthier alternatives may help you lose weight. Today, I'm going to talk about 5 healthy foods to include in your diet and how you can easily add these into your daily routine, including:
At different points throughout the year, many of us decide to go on a diet to lose weight; however, some of these diets aren't successful and you may find it hard to stick to the regime you've chosen. This could be down to setting unrealistic goals or being too restrictive. The NHS recommends losing weight gradually, at a rate of about 1-2lbs (0.5kg – 1kg) per week.1 You should also set yourself smart targets:
Specific – Be specific about what your goal is
Measurable – What is the timescale?
Achievable – Can your goal be achieved?
Realistic – Is the goal realistic and within reach?
Timely – Have a start and finish date.
An example of a smart resolution is: on January 3rd I will start eating healthier foods and obtain a gym membership. I will include healthier foods in my diet 7 days a week, but will have 1 treat each day and I will exercise 3 times per week at the gym. Every week, I will aim to lose 1lb of body fat. By the end of January, I aim to have lost 4 lbs of body fat.
Avocados are the fruit of the avocado tree. These are very nutritious and have several health benefits.
Avocados contain high amounts of healthy fat (monounsaturated fat). Also, they don't contain any cholesterol. Having avocados as a source of fat in your diet may therefore help to keep cholesterol levels balanced.
On the other hand, an excess of saturated fats and regular intake of unhealthy trans fatty acids are associated with high cholesterol levels and may be a contributing factor to obesity. Research has shown that avocado intake is associated with reduced risk of metabolic syndrome.2 Weight gain, obesity and metabolic syndrome go hand in hand since weight gain and obesity are risk factors for metabolic syndrome. Swapping unhealthy fats for healthier options such as avocados, along with a nutritionally balanced diet, may therefore help to reduce the risk of weight gain and obesity.
Avocados also contain a high quantity of dietary fibre. Foods that are high in fibre tend to have a low energy density (they provide fewer calories per gram), meaning that you can eat more whilst consuming fewer calories. Fibre also helps you to feel fuller for longer which may prevent you from snacking on high energy density foods.
If you wish to lose weight, consider adding avocado to your diet in place of less healthy fat sources such as cakes or crisps. Check out our avocado dip recipe.
Oily fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel can help maintain your heart health. They are rich sources of lean protein, which may help you to lose weight since this can make you feel fuller, ultimately preventing overeating. It is recommended that you consume 2 portions of oily fish per week. Research has found that including 3 portions of salmon per week in the diet helped to boost weight loss.3
As well as this, oily fish is a great source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). These are very beneficial to heart health since they can lower triglycerides and raise levels of 'healthy' cholesterol (HDL). High triglyceride levels and low HDL levels are known as dyslipidaemia, which goes hand in hand with obesity and an unhealthy diet. So, consuming oily fish may help to keep your heart and weight healthy!
If you wish to lose weight, consider swapping fried fish for oily fish. Check out our grilled honey lemon sardines with herbed rice.
Similar to avocado, kale is a low energy density food and may give you a sense of fullness, preventing you from snacking on high energy density foods. This is just one way that kale benefits weight loss.
Kale also contains folate (vitamin B9), which works alongside vitamin B6 and B12 to control the levels of homocysteine (an amino acid) in the blood. High levels of homocysteine may contribute towards heart disease.4 Being overweight or obese also puts you at risk of heart disease; so, consuming kale may help to keep homocysteine levels balanced and keep your heart healthy, whilst improving your weight.
If you find yourself snacking on crisps, why not try kale chips? They're a tasty and healthy alternative and are easy to make! Check out our kale chips and parmesan cheese recipe.
Take 1 50ug Sea Kelp tablet, 3 times daily in order to help gently support the functions of your thyroid gland and to help keep your metabolism ticking over.
"Helped me lose over a stone, so far, in weight, excellent."
Grapefruit is a citrus fruit that can reduce body weight. A 12-week Japanese study investigated the effects of grapefruit on weight and metabolic syndrome. The results showed a significant reduction in weight and blood glucose levels in participants consuming half a grapefruit before meals.5 Both increased weight and elevated blood glucose levels are risk factors for metabolic syndrome. This research, therefore, suggests that consuming grapefruit may help to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome.
As well as reducing body weight, grapefruits can also improve heart health. Regular consumption of citrus fruits may decrease blood pressure.6 As I've mentioned above, heart health problems and weight gain go hand in hand as high blood pressure is another risk factor of metabolic syndrome.
If you find yourself snacking on chocolate or sweets, why not swap them for some grapefruit? Or why not add grapefruit into your meals? Check out our avocado and grapefruit salad recipe.
Like avocados, almonds contain fibre. As I mentioned above, fibre can help you to feel fuller for longer and may help you eat fewer calories. This is just one way in which almonds may help weight loss.
As well as this, almonds are high in monounsaturated fats which can lower levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL - the 'bad' type of cholesterol). High levels of LDL cholesterol may lead to atherosclerosis (a build-up of fatty deposits that clog the arteries). So, consuming almonds may help to keep your cholesterol levels balanced.
Several studies have been conducted to investigate whether almonds are beneficial to weight loss and the results are positive! One study in particular found that consuming 50g of almonds daily for 3 months significantly reduced weight.7
If you find yourself snacking on salted nuts, why not swap them for unsalted almonds? Or, if you wish to include them in a recipe, check out our strawberry and almond slices.
Below, I have listed some helpful tips for healthy weight loss:
We recently ran a poll to find out how many portions of fruit and vegetables you eat per day. We've crunched the numbers and here are the results.
It is recommended that we eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day, so it's great to see that 37.7% of you are eating more than 5 portions per day!

Get the latest industry scoop
From Home Furnishing Business
November 5,
2013 by in Green, High Point, Industry, Market
Meghan Wilson has won first place in the Fall "Groovystuff by Design: Connecting Education with Industry" Challenge.
Wilson, an undergraduate studying industrial design at Auburn University, placed first in the competition's popular vote during last month's High Point Furniture Market.
Wilson was one of 16 students in Auburn's Industrial Design participating with Groovystuff for the challenge's fall 2013 academic semester. Under the guidance of professor Tin-Man Lau, and combined with design direction from the Groovystuff staff via Facebook, students were tasked with developing a residential home furnishings product utilizing the reclaimed materials found in the Groovystuff product line.
The class was then given a sponsored space at the High Point Market in "The University Hall of Innovation & Job Creation" to showcase their to the trade professionals attending the annual market, who voted on the marketability of the student designs.
Wilson's "Diverso Game Table" placed first in the competition. She will will receive a cash prize and will be the first of her class to have a design go into quotation and production by Groovystuff.
"Literally just before classes started and right after summer studio, Tin-Man offered a furniture studio that collaborated with Groovystuff," Wilson said. :At this point I had never designed anything, so I was a little intimidated but jumped at the opportunity to take the class. My minor is sustainability, so I was very happy that I would be designing for a company that had such a big emphasis on reclaimed material."
This is the third consecutive year the Auburn Industrial Design Department has participated in the sustainable design program established in 2010 by Chris Bruning of Groovystuff, which specializes in home furnishings in reclaimed materials.
"The wonderful relationship that the School of Industrial and Graphic Design at Auburn University has with Groovystuff allowed our students to be exposed to and participate in the High Point Furniture Market in a direct and meaningful way," said Clark Lundell, chair and head of the Industrial & Graphic Design Department at Auburn. "Chris Bruning has not only exposed our students and their designs to the market but also encouraged and brought them into the realm of product development and sales."
Groovystuff's not-for-profit 2013 Icon Award Winning "University Hall of Innovation & Job Creation" and "Groovystuff by Design: Connecting Education with Industry Challenge" are a breakthrough approach to the nurturing of home furnishings design talent in partnership with leading U.S. colleges and universities.

Islamabad - Pakistan's discarded off-spinner Saaed Ajmal says he is hopeful of proving his form in a forthcoming domestic league as he targets a return to national colours in the World Twenty20 this March.
The 38-year-old, whose accuracy and deceptive doosra helped drive his team to victory in the 2009 edition, has struggled to make an impact since coming back last February from a five-month ban for chucking.
He took just one wicket in two ODIs when he last played, against Bangladesh, in April, and a paltry 16 wickets at 55 apiece for his English county side Worcestershire.
But speaking on the sidelines of a launch event for Islamabad United, one of five teams taking part in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) to be held in the UAE this month, Ajmal said he had worked on technical flaws and rediscovered his old menace.
"I've gotten a good platform and working on my goals. You are going to see the Saeed Ajmal of old," he said.
"The World Cup is after this. and I want to perform well and make myself available for the team."
Ajmal, who was picked as a last minute 'supplementary player' by the capital's team, pointed to better showings in Bangladesh's T20 league last November as proof the magic had not deserted him.
Before being suspended in September 2014 for exceeding the 15-degree elbow flex limit set by the International Cricket Council, Ajmal was ranked the world's number one bowler in ODIs and was almost as impressive in Tests. He famously captured 24 wickets in three Tests against England in 2012.
"When I made my comeback against Bangladesh I was lacking match practice," he said.
"I needed some time. Now I've had some time and I've been able to work on myself. I've got my variation back and you will see the results in the PSL."

In context, Montag would be symbolized the the mythical phoenix. The fire has destroyed the city, and yet, Montag has risen to join those staying along the tracks to build anew.
Fahrenheit 451
by Ray Bradbury
Fahrenheit 451 Video
Watch the illustrated video summary of the classic novel, Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury.
Video Transcript:
Set in the near future of America, in a Midwestern town, Fahrenheit 451 tells the story of fireman Guy Montag, who proudly burns illegal books and the homes of the books' owners. However, as threat of atomic destruction looms over his town, he begins to question the value of his profession. Throughout the novel Montag struggles with his existence and his place in an oppressive society in which censorship is the norm.
Montag's resistance grows stronger after developing a friendship with his 17-year-old neighbor, Clarisse McClellan. She is both curious about the world and rejects the technology on which it now depends, including the frequency of gun violence and speeding cars. Soon, Montag realizes he is unhappy and no longer loves his wife, Mildred, who refuses to face reality; the antithesis of Clarisse, Mildred immerses herself in interactive television and seashell radio, and is addicted to tranquilizers.
One night, Montag comes home to find that Mildred has overdosed on sleeping pills. The paramedics arrive to pump Mildred's stomach and give her a complete transfusion with various technological instruments. The medics explain nonchalantly that they perform these same procedures many times each night, and that overdoses are frequent. The next morning, Mildred robotically goes about her daily routine, not recalling the previous night's episode and refusing to discuss it.
Frustrated with a society that seems unconcerned about an impending atomic war, Montag wonders why books are perceived to be so dangerous and why some people are so loyal to them. What power lies in books? Driven by increasing unease and curiosity, Montag steals a book from a collection he is sent to destroy. At the scene of the burning, he is shaken when the owner of the books, an older woman, refuses to leave her home. Instead, she sets fire to her kerosene-soaked house and is herself destroyed by the flames. Witnessing the woman's dedication to her ideals, Montag wonders if happiness can be found in the forbidden literature he is required to burn.
Montag returns home, feeling ill as he relives the woman's horrific death in his mind. Over the past ten years he had thought he was serving society as a fireman, but now he realizes he is an instrument of destruction. That night, in a discussion with Mildred, Montag learns that his friend Clarisse was killed by a speeding car more than a week earlier. He falls asleep feeling sicker, with his stolen book hidden beneath his pillow.
The next day, Montag refuses to attend work, claiming illness. His boss, Captain Beatty, visits him and appears to be aware of Montag's internal struggle. He suspects that Montag may be hiding books. Beatty lectures him about the offensiveness of books and the superiority of their current society—where homogeneity is mandated, stories are diluted and political narratives are reduced to a simple sound bite distributed by mass media. He dismisses their former society, which encouraged free thought and differing opinions. Meanwhile, Mildred organizes the bedroom and tries to pull away Montag's pillow. When he won't let her, she reaches beneath it and finds the hidden book. Mildred is astonished, but keeps silent.
When Beatty departs, Montag retrieves some 20 books that he has stolen over the years and begins to read. Unsure as to what to do next, he recalls meeting a retired professor, Faber, a year earlier and discussing with him the value of ideas. He visits Faber, who at first fears that he will be the fireman's next victim. However, as the two men grow to trust one another, Faber becomes a mentor to Montag, sharing insights and conspiring with him to make copies of Montag's books. Faber gives Montag a small two-way radio of his own invention to insert into his ear, so that the two men will always be in communication.
At home, Montag becomes disgusted with his wife and her friends as they sit idly, watching television and gossiping. They lack any awareness of the impending atomic war. As Faber's objections stream through the secret radio in Montag's ear, Montag engages the women in a debate about family and politics. Next, he reads to them from a book of poetry. Mildred's friends react emotionally to the reading, not understanding the source of their sadness.
The firemen are called to an alarm, and Montag is dismayed to discover that it is his own house that is to be burned. His wife Mildred reported him. He then burns his home and possessions by himself, room by room, as ordered by Beatty.
Beatty chides Montag and as the two men scuffle, Faber's radio is knocked from his ear. When Beatty remarks that both Montag and his "friend" will be dealt with severely, Montag threatens Beatty with the flamethrower. When Beatty keeps at it, Montag flips the switch and kills his boss.
At once, the Mechanical Hound, a computerized attack dog that can track down any human being by scent, pursues Montag. The Hound stabs him in the leg with a procaine needle, but Montag annihilates it with the flamethrower before it can do more damage.
Faber provides refuge for Montag, as both a second Mechanical Hound and the authorities pursue him. Faber provides him with old clothes to mask his scent and thus impede the Hound. Then Faber directs Montag to go to the river and float downstream to the train tracks, where he will hopefully find a hobo camp of intellectual outlaws who can help him.
Montag departs, then floats down the river, successfully avoiding the Hound. He finds the group of former writers, clergymen, and academics by the riverbank. The leader of the group, an author named Granger, welcomes Montag, offering him a concoction to change his pH in order to throw the Hound off his scent.
Granger tells Montag how the men in his camp have memorized literary works so that someday, when it is safe to do so, they can again print books, recreating them from memory. When atomic bombs destroy the city, the men are able to survive in their wilderness camp, then set out to sift through the rubble of the destroyed town and begin anew. They plan to foster a society where books and free thought can flourish.

Moomin winter mug 2019, Crown Snow-Load, features Moomintroll from the book Moominland Midwinter.
The illustration is of Moomintroll who has woken up in the middle of his hibernation. The rest of the family are still sound asleep, but Moomintroll bravely ventures out into the magical, miraculous winter. He marvels at the snow-covered Moominvalley and the fir tree bowed under a heavy layer of rime ice.
The design is based on Tove Jansson's original artwork which Tove Slotte has interpreted in this lovely mug.

It's difficult to walk down almost any UK high street nowadays without noticing the grey and deserted empty spaces that were once home to thriving shops. Fading, tatty store signs cling above empty shop windows that now only house drab 'to let' boards and abandoned display units; this is the image of the high street in 2018.
With the escalation of online shopping, the growth of out of town retail outlets with ample and free parking, rising rents and reduced sales, many local high street stores are struggling to survive. So as closing down sales become commonplace, what does the future hold for Britain's high streets?
Ghost towns
Former retail chief, Bill Grimsey, speaking to the BBC, warned that if immediate action is not taken, Britain's town centres are, "in big danger of becoming ghost towns."
Indeed, a number of major chains, including House of Fraser, Marks & Spencer and Carpetright have recently announced store closures and others, such as Toys R Us and Maplin, have collapsed altogether.
Grimsey, the former head of Wickes, Iceland and Focus DIY, last month launched his second report into the future of town centres and high streets; the future, he says, should see retail as a thing of the past and town centres becoming, "community hubs based on health, education, entertainment, leisure and arts and crafts."
It's a vision of buzzing, sociable public spaces, offering flourishing facilities such as libraries, flexible work spaces with free Wi-Fi, leisure centres, arts and cultural venues and housing; there is an argument that as retailers move to out of town complexes, there is potential for people to move back in.
If this really is the future of our town centres, what could these 21st century-community-hub-high streets have to offer the older generation?
Well, quite possibly, an awful lot. While many of us are saddened by the sight of empty shops, many older people are also struggling with loneliness, poor health, a lack of activities to keep busy and active or longing for more of a sense of community.
Blossoming communities
With this in mind, could it be that the changing shape of Britain's high streets today could hold the key to unlocking the blossoming communities of tomorrow?
Many people are faced with loneliness at some time in their lives. Older people, who may become isolated because of poor health, disability or the loss of a loved one, can be particularly vulnerable to it. Research from Age UK showed that 1.2 million older people are chronically lonely, and that half a million people over 60 usually spend every day alone.
Closures of bank branches, post offices, shops and libraries contribute to the onset of loneliness for some older people and at the moment, in many cases they are not being replaced or revitalised.
If town centres are developed in line with Grimsey's vision, then perhaps this issue would be addressed; the high streets of the future could work in favour of older people and tackle loneliness.
Benefits for the elderly
Older people, in particular, could benefit from the opportunity to live in accommodation that is at the heart of the community hub; social and sports clubs, health centres, cafes to meet in and libraries offering information and internet services could all be within walking distance and more accessible.
As Grimsey explained to the BBC: "We are social animals. We need gathering places as otherwise we are going to have a generation of very lonely people growing up."
One place which acted on the recommendations in Grimsey's initial, 2013 report, was Stockton-on-Tees in the north-east of England.
Neil Schneider, chief executive of the town's borough council, told the BBC: "The vision for Stockton was to develop a big outdoor community centre.
"In our plan we wanted to capitalise on the area's unique history and heritage, support a wide range of retailers and businesses, and improve the connections to the attractive riverside.
"By developing safe evening and leisure opportunities in interesting spaces, we wanted to ensure that people don't come to Stockton just to shop. We really wanted to create a community hub destination."
Grimsey argues that in order for this vision to become a reality across England and Wales, local authorities need more power and stronger leadership to begin reinvigorating town centres and high streets.
His report called for landlords to be both penalised and incentivised over properties left vacant for more than 6-12 months, and that government should make it easier to apply for a change of use through new legislation.
Grimsey is reported to have said: "Our cities, towns and communities are facing their greatest challenge in history which is how to remain relevant, and economically and socially viable in the 21st century.
"As a nation we must give every high street and town centre the best possible chance to flourish."
One thing's for sure: change is already happening; what must come next is for those changes to be transformed into something positive. The high streets of the future could be thriving, valued community spaces that can offer something for everyone, of any age.
Are there changes happening in town centres or high streets near you? Do you see them as positive? Write to us at the usual address.

During the restrictions placed on our society to stop the spread of COVID-19, funeral Masses have been suspended. That has resulted in situations where families had to part from their beloved dead in a way that can be rather functional than spiritual.
On Wednesday, May 20, 2020 at 7:00pm, Saint Mark Church celebrates an online Requiem Mass for all those who have passed in the last months for whom no Mass could be offered. They don't need to be parishioners.
All families who would like their deceased loved ones to be included in this Mass, are invited to send in a picture and some basic facts, like: name, date of passing and age.
Call the office at 310-821-5058 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Hi again guys!
The previous post was about our Coach Krishna, now time to interview Coach Karthick! People even think twice to approach him due to his fierce looks & rough tone. Therefore this post would allow you to know more about our 'Gentle Giant'.
This post is about COACH KARTHICK!
1) Why did you pick up Boxing ?
I started Kickboxing at the age of 7 as I was getting bullied in school. I thought Kickboxing would be great as self-defense. I eventually continued to get fitter & started to compete and became a National Kickboxer. Through cross-training, I picked up Boxing and started coaching. Do you guys believe that he got bullied? Haha! Now he bullies everyone! Even me!
2) Who is your Favorite Boxer ?
James Tony! I admire his style and fighting techniques. He might not be known to many, but he's a great boxer! You guys should take a look at some of his videos.
3) What does KOS means to you ?
KOS is like home to me & the people here are like my family. In fact I've never swept the floors in my house but i do sweep the gym and I do take pride in that! I've also seen blood, sweat & tears of boxers through my journey & that makes this place more closer to me.
4) What makes up a good boxer according to you ?
A good boxer is made up of good attitude, discipline & of course listening to what the coaches advise. Basically they should be ready to make sacrifices!
5) What keeps you going as a Coach each day ?
That view of a KOS Boxer's arm being raised. I visualize that each day to keep me going.
6) Give a nickname to your coaching style ?
Hmm, I can't think of any actually. Maybe I'll call myself a 'Treasurer'.
7) A quote for our readers ?
"You won't die from a tough training! You got to get up stronger and fight harder!"
8) What are the struggles you face as a Coach ?
Creating new and fun exercises for our people! That really requires a lot of creativity! GRR!
9) Someone you look up to ?
My grandmother! She's someone who wasn't educated but came a long way in life and fought all kinds of struggles. I've never seen her even thinking of giving up no matter how tough the situation gets. Learnt how to overcome hurdles in life from her. Truly look up to her.
10) Share a secret about yourself.
I'm a cartoon lover! Most favorite cartoon? Tom & Jerry! Shocking! Another secret I know about him, He loves to draw!
Hope you got to know more about our Coach Karthick! For those who were too afraid of him, all you got to do is to pick up a cartoon topic and approach him! LOL
Signing Off….with a fist bump obviously….
Coach Kumar

Manchester United striker, Romelu Lukaku, has been in the news for the wrong reason for failing to convert a goal scoring chance.
With the scoreline at 1-1, the big Belgian was presented with this great scoring opportunity by Pogba's flick, but instead of converting it, he went on to to head the ball to goal kick.
Manchester United went on to draw the match 1-1 and fans are not happy, as they felt they could have won if Lukaku had converted the chance.
See video below:

See what people are saying:
I'm just laughing at Manchester United fans who were saying that Lukaku is better than Morata when the truth is they are both equally useless. Morata, Lukaku their agents and the people that bought both of them are all Mad!

The worst part about this Lukaku is that he never gets injured. 🤦🏾♂

Industry News by Nemesis
Weak Indian Demand Dents Alrosa Sales
May 13, 2019
Sales at Alrosa fell 21% year on year to $318.7 million in April amid a continued slowdown in the Indian manufacturing sector.
Rough-diamond sales dropped 20% to $315.8 million for the month, while polished revenue plummeted 68% to $2.9 million.
"In the first months of 2019, the global diamond market saw somewhat weaker demand from cutters and polishers due to both diamond-stock normalization, as midstreamers in India continue to experience difficulties with access to affordable financing, and inherent cyclicality of the market," Evgeny Agureev, director of the United Sales Organization (USO) Alrosa, said Monday.
Alrosa's rough-and-polished sales slumped 34% to $1.32 billion for the first four months of the year combined. Rough sales slid 34% to $1.3 billion for the period, while polished declined 42% to $19.2 million.
The Russia-based miner expects the market situation to improve in the second half of the year, it added.

Benchmarking the Resilience of Self-Adaptive Systems: A New Research Challenge
AbstractSelf-adaptive systems are widely recognized as the future of computer systems. Due to their dynamic and evolving nature, the characterization of self-adaptation and resilience attributes is of upmost importance. The problem is that nowadays there is no practical way to characterize self-adaptation capabilities or to compare alternative solutions concerning resilience. In this paper we discuss the problem of resilience benchmarking of self-adaptive systems. We start by identifying a set of key challenges and then propose a research roadmap to tackle those challenges.

In times like these, we need responsible behaviour in society. The BMW Group knows how to manage difficult situations. We have proven this many times in the past.
The BMW Group is a company that thinks long-term and acts responsibly. We take responsibility for the mobility of today and tomorrow through strong product offerings and sustainable management.
We don't want to tell our customers what to do – we want to truly convince them. This is what the Power of Choice is all about.
The Overview of the Financial Year 2019
in the Guided Tour.
The BMW Group continued to chart a successful course in 2019. We handed over more than 2.5 million vehicles to customers last year – more than ever before.
The new BMW 8 Series and new BMW X7 got off to a very successful start. BMW M GmbH had its best year ever in 2019.
Towards the end of the year, the first fully-electric MINI came off the production line in Oxford.
Rolls-Royce reported the best year in its 116-year history, largely thanks to the Cullinan and its Black Badge models.
With its large number of new models, BMW Motorrad also posted its ninth consecutive sales increase.
Year after year, we make targeted, focused investments in our future. We have electrified all vehicle classes and, at the same time, equipped all our major plants for electromobility.
2019 therefore laid a strong foundation for continued future success.

During the 2019 reporting period, the BMW Group reached a further milestone with the delivery of its 500,000th electrified automobile. With eleven electrified models in its range (as of 2019), the BMW Group is among the world's leading providers of electric mobility.
The BMW Group delivered a total of 2,538,367 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brand automobiles in 2019, thereby setting a new record for the total number of deliveries to customers (2018: 2,483,292 units; + 2.2 %).
BMW X models are hugely popular with customers worldwide – largely thanks to their versatility. For sport, travel or family, on or off-road, Sports Activity vehicles ranging from the BMW X1 to the BMW X7 deliver excellent driving characteristics with advanced technology and a commanding presence.
All models have been relaunched or updated in recent years. Deliveries for 2019 reflect the success of this: With sales up 22.3% and 963,994 units sold, the X family made a vital contribution to the BMW Group's new all-time sales high last year.
With plug-in hybrid variants of the BMW X1, X3 and X5, three family members are now electrified. These will be joined in 2020 by the X2 PHEV and the fully-electric BMW iX3.
The EBIT margin came in at 4.9 % (2018: 7.2 %; – 2.3 percentage points). As forecast in the Quarterly Statement to 30 September 2019 the EBIT margin was within the target range of 4.5 to 6.5 % and therefore in line with revised expectations. In the Annual Report 2018, the segment EBIT margin was forecast to be within the target range of 6 to 8 %.
The luxury segment was a focal point for the BMW Group in financial year 2019. Discerning customers in this segment can now choose between an even more diverse range of exclusive models. All of them offer an attractive combination of elegant luxury with the outstanding driving experience of a BMW.
The best example of this is the new BMW 8 Model Series. The Coupé, Convertible and Gran Coupé, as well as the corresponding M high-performance models, are being enthusiastically received by a large number of customers. The new BMW 7 Series, available for the first time as a six-cylinder plug-in hybrid, and the BMW X7 are enjoying considerable popularity worldwide.
Thanks to these models, the BMW Group was able to increase sales in the luxury segment by more than 60 percent year-on-year.
With the delivery of 175,162 units in 2019, the Motorcycles segment exceeded the previous year's figure by 5.8 %, marking a new record for the ninth consecutive year (2018: 165,566 units).
The number of motorcycles sold in Europe rose by 7.0 % to 104,994 units (2018: 98,144 units).
Early in summer 2019, the BMW Group unveiled its BMW Motorrad Concept R18. This purist, historically inspired interpretation of a "Big Boxer" earned exceptionally positive reviews. Just six months later, BMW Motorrad presented its second eye-catching concept bike with a Big Boxer engine: The BMW Motorrad Concept R18/2 is the stylistic counterpart to the R18, a modern, dynamic custom cruiser with a slightly rawer attitude.
The differences between these two heritage concepts impressively underline the flexibility of the basic architecture and wide range of customisation options. In the second half of 2020, BMW Motorrad plans to venture into the important cruiser segment with the launch of the BMW R18 – another milestone in the BMW Motorrad growth strategy.
The Financial Services segment performed strongly in 2019 within a challenging, volatile environment. Segment profit before tax rose by 6.0 % to a record level of € 2,272 million (2018: € 2,143 million).
Thanks to its strong performance, the Financial Services segment surpassed the threshold of 2 million new customer contracts in a single year for the first time. In total, 2,003,782 credit financing and leasing contracts were concluded with retail customers during the period under report, a solid 5.0 % year-on-year increase (2018: 1,908,640 contracts).
BMW Financial Services wants customers to be able to complete the entire financing process online. This objective was already achieved in Germany in 2019 and key elements can already be processed digitally in a number of other markets.
From credit application to contract offer to identification and e-signature: The digitalisation of internal processes means every step can be performed online – from selecting the right financing product all the way to contract processing.
During the contract period, customers can access their data, update their information if needed and make inquiries via chatbots. These capabilities are now being rolled out in further markets.
The Automotive segment recorded a solid year-onyear increase in revenues. Alongside positive currency effects, the main influencing factor was the product mix effect generated by increased deliveries of BMW X family models (in particular the X7 launched in 2019), the BMW 8 Series, the X4, the X5, and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, all of which were available for the full twelve-month period in 2019.
The Motorcycles segment also recorded solid year-onyear revenue growth. In addition to the higher number of units delivered, product mix and currency effects also had a positive impact on the performance in 2019.
The Financial Services segment achieved a solid increase in revenues during the period under report on the back of portfolio growth, higher revenues from the sale of returned leasing vehicles, and favourable currency factors.
As forecast most recently in the Quarterly Statement to 30 September 2019, Group profit before tax for the full financial year was significantly down on the previous year and, at € 7,118 million (2018: € 9,627 million), was therefore in line with revised expectations.
A major factor in the enduring success of the BMW Group is its consistent focus on the future. Innovation is an integral part of its corporate philosophy. Shaping individual mobility and finding innovative solutions today for the needs of tomorrow is a key driving force. Research and development (R&D) are therefore of major importance for the BMW Group in ensuring its long-term commercial success as a premium manufacturer.
As an e-mobility pioneer, the BMW i3 sets the benchmark for holistic sustainability. The BMW Group is currently working on the fifth generation of its electric drive train: The electric engine, power electronics and transmission are all closely integrated, improving power density by around 30 percent. This technology will be used for the first time in the BMW iX3.
The BMW Group develops its own powertrain components for the BMW eDrive technology; the electric engine and high-voltage battery are also manufactured in-house.
In addition, engineers are also analysing and further developing battery cell technology at the new Battery Cell Competence Centre in Munich. This ensures BMW Group customers always have access to the best cells for their particular electrified drive train and vehicle concept. It also enables the company to respond flexibly to market developments.
A downward trend was observable on most automobile markets in 2019. Accordingly, registration figures for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles fell worldwide by 2.8 % to a total of 83.5 million vehicles.
According to the original forecasts, new registrations worldwide were expected to decrease slightly in 2020 (83.1 million units; -0.5%). However, due to the worldwide spread of coronavirus, new registrations are now expected to drop significantly.
Deliveries in China posted encouragingly strong growth in 2019, in a global environment that remains volatile and highly competitive. With a total of 724,733 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce vehicles delivered to customers, the BMW Group grew sales by 14.0% from the previous year.
These will be joined by the BMW X2. The fully-electric BMW iX3 will also be produced in China and exported from there.
At 31 December 2019, more than 15,700 people in twelve countries were working in the BMW Group's global research and innovation network.
In 2019, the Group produced electrified models at eleven different locations worldwide.
In 2019, the BMW Group opened a new plant in San Luis Potosí (Mexico). The new facility, which has the capacity to manufacture up to 175,000 units per year, produces the BMW 3 Series Sedan, thus significantly boosting production flexibility within the network. The BMW 3 Series Sedan is also produced in Germany and China.
One of the highlights of 2019 was the #NEXTGen event. This independent, recurring format is dedicated to sharing information on the future of individual mobility. International journalists, analysts and shareholders at the event learned about the latest services, products and future technologies from the fields of design, autonomous driving, connectivity and electrification. They also got to experience six world premieres and two Vision Vehicles. One of those premieres was the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé. With its standalone body concept, plus powertrain and chassis technology designed for maximum driving dynamics, the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe embodies a brand of sporting flair unique in the luxury segment.
2019 marks the beginning of another important chapter in MINI's 60-year history. The first fully-electric MINI celebrated its world premiere in Rotterdam and New York. As different as these two cities may be, they are trendsetters that epitomise progress and urban living – just like MINI. The brand has always been about offering solutions to the mobility challenges of the day. The MINI Electric complements the brand's existing electric offering and provides another possible answer to customers' low-emission mobility needs. Initial test drive reviews confirm that the fully-electric MINI sparks emotion and delivers driving fun.
For BMW Motorrad, 2019 was not just about its new concept bikes. The 19th BMW Motorrad Days also showcased the world premiere of the BMW R nineT /5. At the foot of Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze, 40,000 guests gathered to admire the current model generation in a special product tent. Visitors also had the chance to talk directly to BMW product specialists and check out new models from about 80 exhibitors. Shows, stunts and test drives on both safe roads and rocky off-road terrain delivered pure action. Two visitors went home particularly happy: They were the lucky winners of a BMW R nineT /5 and BMW F 850 GS.
In Goodwood, where artisanship meets design, the imagination knows (virtually) no limits. Each individual vehicle can be transformed into a unique work of art. That is also how the first Rolls-Royce Cullinan in "Fux Orange" was born. The idea was for the colour to match its owner's favourite wrap. It took about a year to deliver the perfect surface application of more than seven layers of finish polished by hand. The unusual colour scheme continues in the interior, with white leather with orange stitching. The "Fux Orange" interior mirror and lambswool floor mats complete the look and bring the exacting standards Rolls-Royce craftspeople aspire to life.

Has there ever been a literal prophecy? I say let them stick their hands in the snake
@ackthrice weirdly they're beginning to suspect that the serpent might be a metaphor, but the bite is still literal.
Have a guy with serpent tattoos, or better yet snakebite piercings try and bite them and see what happens!
@ackthrice they're currently working with a former member of the cult that's trying to kill them, and she was wearing a bracelet shaped like an ouroboros when they first met her.

text: Last year I was in the process of designing and building a guitar dedicated to the Black Watch Regiment. I posted a couple of questions regarding the Black Watch. The project has now been completed and the guitar handed over to raise money (by a raffle) for charity. Appropriately it was officially handed over in, Pattaya Thailand, on January 5th.......Red hackle Day. Someone asked for me to post photos of the finished guitar and so here they are. The face of the guitar was to be Black Watch tartan set in epoxy resin. I did not realise when I set out that the tartan, dark as it was, would appear even darker once set permanently in epoxy. Even after figuring out a way to lighten it the result was still dark but legend has it that the very name of the regiment came about because of the dark tartan appearing to be black, especially when it was wet.

Variability in precipitation at scales from 1 to 10 days was investigated with the use of the time series measured at Prague-Sporilov (the Czech Republic) between 1994 and 2001. Variability was detected by the method of absolute difference in precipitation between two adjacent discrete time periods. The results indicated a general increase in precipitation variability at all investigated scales within the 8-yr observational period. The variability patterns also showed quasi-seasonal variations. The summer wetter season proved to be the most variable. The analysis was accomplished by the investigations of precipitation variability at a monthly scale based on a century-long historical time record. On a longer time perspective, precipitation variability exhibits a general increase interrupted by quasi-decadal oscillations. The range of quasi-decadal variability has become more pronounced after about 1950, the fact that hints the possibility of further intensification of the hydrologic cycle. An obtained significant correlation between the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) activity and precipitation variability implies that the NAO may account for a large fraction of precipitation variability. Higher NAO-index values tend to be associated with low variability. The variability investigations may have a certain implication for climate change assessments both at the local scales as well as associated with the build-up of greenhouse gases.

I'm still confused about why steam causes more severe burns at 100 degrees celsius compared to liquid at 100 degrees celsius. Is it because more energy is required for liquid to become gas, so it releases more energy when it touches skin (which is significantly cooler than steam)?
Why steam at 100 C burns more than liquid at 100 C

Re: Why steam at 100 C burns more than liquid at 100 C
Yes, steam at 100 degrees Celsius first undergoes a phase change from gas to liquid while remaining at the same temperature, releasing heat via condensation. Now, you are left with water at 100 Celsius which releases energy as same as the sample that started off as water at 100 degrees Celsius. This extra energy released causes more severe burns as a result.

To add onto it, steam condensing to liquid releases over 40 kJ of heat while liquid freezing into a solid releases around 5 kJ of heat.

But there is no question on the California tests suggesting that you should turn them the other way. You need to take several or more of the tests. ¿Qué le indican las líneas en el pavimento? There are 46 questions on this test. Keep doing this — taking tests, uncovering gaps in your knowledge, studying, and repeating new tests — until your score becomes near-perfect. After the first failure, you may not be eligible for another appointment for up to three or six months, not to mention the monetary and time costs.
It is also extremely important to be aware of your surroundings while driving. When you are behind the wheel, it is absolutely critical to keep your eyes on the road and look out for drivers that seem to not be paying attention. A test result summary and explanation of the correct answer for each question asked will be deferred and shown at the end, after you complete your test. A California practice driving test helps users in several ways. Many of the questions on the test will ask you the meaning of certain signs.
You are always able to renew your license in person. While it is not intended as a replacement for the Manual, it does serve as a powerful supplemental resource for new drivers. Certifications must show a minimum of 10 hours of night driving. You must demonstrate to the examiner that you know how to drive safely and effectively. A licensed driver over 25 must also be present if you are driving between the hours of 11 pm and 5 am unless it is a medical emergency. The road test requires drivers to demonstrate their understanding of that information in action and their ability to control a vehicle on the road.

If you have completed a defensive driving course, you may be able to save on your auto insurance premiums when buying a new or used car either by financing, leasing or through bank car loan. Computer tests speed up the exam process, but it is also a lot easier to misread and make a hasty decision. If your State supports English only — no worries: take full training with us in your language and then switch to English to double check how you pass the same exam in officially accepted language. Most of the other vehicles are driving 70 mph or faster. Warning Signs give you advance notice of possible hazards. Each question is modeled carefully on the material, wording and design of official state permit and licensing exams.
Furthermore, you should not be charged by anyone who offers document translation. Additionally, you cannot have a driver's license from more than one state or jurisdiction to be able to apply by mail. Who Must Take the California Written Knowledge Test You must always take a knowledge test, vision test, and road test when you apply for an original California driver license or upgrade to a different class of driver license. During this time, you must complete 50 practice hours on the road with a licensed California driver, who is over 25, ten of which must be completed at night.

In California, drivers are required to take an actual driving test on a designated testing site.
