Post Peer Assessment Discussion
Hey guys in response to the peers i moved around my pictures, gave them text under them, and added a lot of new information and some photos to the structure section. the only issue we have left is to clean up our reference list since it mostly looks like a bunch of pubmed IDs. i guess we will ask mark what to do with this.--Michael Orenstein 21:48, 25 May 2011 (EST)
Week 7
- This is the week before the mid-session break.
- In the lab this week we will have an opportunity to discuss any issues which are slowing progress on your project.
- The Thursday of the week beginning 02 May will be when all projects will be open to Peer Assessment.
- What you have on your page by Thursday of that week will be the content that others in the class will comment upon.
Week 6
- I see many groups now have subsection titles for their projects.
- Here are some searches: Pubmed search all databases junction | PLoS junction | JCB junction You can now simply put your own search term into each top window.
- Now's the time to get your images, movies, media etc uploaded. Biomed central | JCB | JCB Archive | PLoS. Once uploaded you can make a gallery on either your project or discussion page using <gallery>File:name here</gallery> tags with your image files listed between the tags. When you upload project images, add this text as it appears replacing # with your own Group number to the summary information [[Category:2011Project#]].
- Shown below are the criteria that will be used to assess your final project.
Group Assessment Criteria
- The key points relating to the topic that your group was allocated are clearly described.
- The choice of content, headings and sub-headings, diagrams, tables, graphs show a good understanding of the topic area.
- Content is correctly cited and referenced.
- The wiki has an element of teaching at a peer level using the student's own innovative diagrams, tables or figures and/or using interesting examples or explanations.
- Evidence of significant research relating to basic and applied sciences that goes beyond the formal teaching activities.
- Relates the topics and content of the Wiki entry to learning aims of cell biology.
- Clearly reflects on editing/feedback from group peers and articulates how the Wiki could be improved (or not) based on peer comments/feedback. Demonstrates an ability to review own work when criticised in an open edited wiki format. Reflects on what was learned from the process of editing a peer's wiki.
- Evaluates own performance and that of group peers to give a rounded summary of this wiki process in terms of group effort and achievement.
- The content of the wiki should demonstrate to the reader that your group has researched adequately on this topic and covered the key areas necessary to inform your peers in their learning.
- Develops and edits the wiki entries in accordance with this sites wiki guidelines.
By Week 5
Each Group member has added to the discussion page:
- A Review Article
- A Historic Research Article
- A Current Research Article
No two students should add the same paper and there should be a link to the original article.
--Mark Hill 17:02, 30 March 2011 (EST) OK Group 1, No content has been added to either your discussion or project page. You were meant to have already begun looking into both the topic and references, pasting links on your discussion page. I will see you in the lab tomorrow to discuss whether you are having problems or are simply not doing the work. This search should get you started. Search Pubmed: Synaptic Junction
Hey everyone. I was doing some research on our topic but it will be so similar to one of the other pages being done. Have a look yourself before tomorrow and we should make a final decision in the lab if this is what we should do.--Nathan Weller 23:37, 30 March 2011 (EST)
Good Idea, we should make a final decision before we can start posting references. See you guys tomo --z3254753 00:14, 31 March 2011 (EST)
hey guys ... sounds good .. and nathan i think u put the content in the wrong page.. (its in group 2's page) lol .. :) --Navneet Ahuja 09:11, 31 March 2011 (EST)
I think Nathan has done a remarkable Job for a start :)... Well, we can re-adjust it and have a look at the previous projects for more enlightments.. Maqdad Alsaif
Hey guys i did research some articles and here are some of it --Navneet Ahuja 16:12, 2 April 2011 (EST)
1)Synapse Formation in Developing Neural Circuits - general discription on how synapse work !!
Abstract [1]
The nervous system consists of hundreds of billions of neurons interconnected into the functional neural networks that underlie behaviors. The capacity of a neuron to innervate and function within a network is mediated via specialized cell junctions known as synapses. Synapses are macromolecular structures that regulate intercellular communication in the nervous system, and are the main gatekeepers of information flow within neural networks. Where and when synapses form determines the connectivity and functionality of neural networks. Therefore, our knowledge of how synapse formation is regulated is critical to our understanding of the nervous system and how it goes awry in neurological disorders.
Synapse formation involves pairing of the pre- and postsynaptic partners at a specific neurospatial coordinate. The specificity of synapse formation requires the precise execution of multiple developmental events, including cell fate specification, cell migration, axon guidance, dendritic growth, synaptic target selection, and synaptogenesis (Juttner and Rathjen in Cell. Mol. Life Sci. 62:2811, 2005; Salie et al., in Neuron 45:189, 2005; Waites et al., in Annu. Rev. Neurosci. 28:251, 2005). Remarkably, during the development of the vertebrate nervous system, these developmental processes occur almost simultaneously in billions of neurons, resulting in the formation of trillions of synapses. How this remarkable specificity is orchestrated during development is one of the outstanding questions in the field of neurobiology, and the focus of discussion of this chapter.
2) Review: disruption of the postsynaptic density in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative dementias.
Abstract [2]
The most common causes of neurodegenerative dementia include Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). We believe that, in all 3, aggregates of pathogenic proteins are pathological substrates which are associated with a loss of synaptic function/plasticity. The synaptic plasticity relies on the normal integration of glutamate receptors at the postsynaptic density (PSD). The PSD organizes synaptic proteins to mediate the functional and structural plasticity of the excitatory synapse and to maintain synaptic homeostasis. Here, we will discuss the relevant disruption of the protein network at the PSD in these dementias and the accumulation of the pathological changes at the PSD years before clinical symptoms. We suggest that the functional and structural plasticity changes of the PSD may contribute to the loss of molecular homeostasis within the synapse (and contribute to early symptoms) in these dementias.
3)Recent research Early Events of HIV-1 Infection: Can Signaling be the Next Therapeutic Target?
Abstract [3]
Intracellular signaling events are signposts of biological processes, which govern the direction and action of biological activities. Through millions of years of evolution, pathogens, such as viruses, have evolved to hijack host cell machinery to infect their targets and are therefore dependent on host cell signaling for replication. This review will detail our current understanding of the signaling events that are important for the early steps of HIV-1 replication. More specifically, the therapeutic potential of signaling events associated with chemokine coreceptors, virus entry, viral synapses, and post-entry processes will be discussed. We argue that these pathways may represent novel targets for antiviral therapy.
4. Historical research ACTION OF ADRENALINE ON SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION AND ON ADRENAL MEDULLARY SECRETION [4]
and lastly this article might be helpful to us old neurons
Hey guys,
I found I've covered a fair bit of relevant stuff in my lecture notes for another course lol. Maybe they could help us direct our research a bit. Speak more about it in person in the lab :)
here are my research articles;

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has released a new interactive guide examining the economic opportunities and environmental risks emerging in the Arctic. Climate change, technological advances, and a growing demand for natural resources are driving a new era of development in the Arctic region. Many experts assert that Arctic summers could be free of sea ice in a matter of decades, opening the region up to hundreds of billions of dollars in investment, most notably in energy production and shipping.
More on:
But the region's warming will also bring new security and environmental complications, particularly for the five Arctic Ocean coastal states—the United States, Russia, Denmark (Greenland), Canada, and Norway.
"I don't think about the Arctic in isolation. I think about it in terms of its location in the center of some major geopolitical developments," says Michael Byers, Canada research chair in global politics and international law at the University of British Columbia, in the overview video. He adds that U.S.-Russia relations, global climate change, and the development of China as an economic power dependent on shipping are all issues that converge in the Arctic.
The "Emerging Arctic" InfoGuide includes:
- an overview video with insights from Scott Borgerson, CEO, CargoMetrics and Cofounder, Arctic Circle; Michael Byers; Heather Conley, senior fellow and director of the Europe program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies; and Marlene Laruelle, research professor of international affairs at George Washington University;
- a timeline highlighting commercial, political, and environmental milestones in the Arctic;
- infographics detailing the region's demographics, oil and gas potential, and ships and shipping routes;
- an interactive diagram showing the intersecting affiliations of Arctic Council member states; and
- policy options for a stable and sustainable future in the Arctic.
- an interactive map showcasing the receding sea ice, regional oil and gas resources, areas of diplomatic dispute, seasonal shipping routes, and the five Arctic Ocean coastal states;
The "Emerging Arctic" InfoGuide is the third in a series that also includes "China's Maritime Disputes" and "Child Marriage." InfoGuides, produced by the CFR.org editorial team, utilize a responsive design for tablets and mobile devices. Various multimedia sections are embeddable, including the timeline, map, and infographics. CFR's interactive offerings also feature the Emmy Award–winning Crisis Guides and the Global Governance Monitor.

Laser Cure for Varicose Veins
by: Michael Russell
A varicose vein starts out as little more than a visual problem but it can lead, over time, to leg swelling, fatigue and pain. The reduced flow of blood to your legs causes your legs to tire quickly and often make them feel as heavy as lead weights. If left untreated the varicose vein can get serious to the point of causing leg ulcers, impaired walking, leg cramps and blood clots. Correcting the problem used to involve hospitalization, surgical removal of the varicose vein and a long recovery period. It can make one shudder just to think about it. Today, however, utilizing the latest laser technology, in many cases, much of that old surgical procedure can be a thing of the past.The benefits of this new laser procedure for varicose vein treatment are considerable. There is really no preparation work required at all. It can be done as an outpatient procedure and generally takes less than an hour start to finish. The old surgical procedure often took 4 to 6 hours or more. Total anesthesia for the laser procedure is not required and there is only minimal pain. When everything is done there is no scarring. The incision to insert the laser is so small that there is no need for stitches. When the doctor is done with the laser there is really no recovery period at all. Vigorous physical activity is discouraged for the first day or two after laser treatment but generally you walk out of the outpatient facility and return to your normal daily activities immediately. There may be some minor itching and tenderness for a week or so afterwards but not enough to limit your activities. Sometimes you have to go back for a second or third follow up laser procedure to obtain complete resolution of the problem. Of course that will vary from individual to individual.The technical name for this procedure is endovenous laser therapy. The laser used is very precise and delivers a very controlled dose of laser energy. The doctor will insert a very small thin laser fiber into your thigh. Even though your varicose vein shows up in your lower leg area the real cause of the problem is almost always a faulty valve in your upper leg. Once the laser is properly positioned in your upper leg he will activate the laser. The heat from the laser energy will cause the blood in that area of the vein to coagulate and close off the diseased varicose vein. This will cause the entire vein from there down into your lower leg to shrink and be absorbed back into your body. The number of veins in your legs is huge so the loss of the one varicose vein is not a problem for your circulatory system. The blood that normally would have gone through the diseased varicose vein will now go through other healthier veins.This laser procedure has proven to be more than 96 percent effective at eliminating the problem with a varicose vein. So there is still a chance that you may have to undergo the old vein removal procedure. But your chances of solving a varicose vein problem quickly and easily with laser technology are better than ever before.Michael RussellYour Independent guide to Varicose Vein

NOTICE: The Processors Wiki will End-of-Life in December of 2020. It is recommended to download any files or other content you may need that are hosted on processors.wiki.ti.com. The site is now set to read only.
Git is a software tool that is used widely in the linux community for source code management of software projects. There are many open-source projects utilizing Git for source code management, including the linux kernel as well as the Git project itself.
Git is designed to enable a distributed development environment such that multiple developers working on a project need not have a centralized server where the source code is developed and maintained. In other words, Git allows developers working on a project to create local copies of the project and permit development where network access may not exist.
Git provides full revision tracking capabilities and is designed to be efficient, fast and reliable solution for source code management.

Installing Git[edit]
Depending on what Linux distribution you are using on your Linux host there are different options for installing Git. For example, distributions such as Fedora, Ubuntu and Debian have their own software management tool for downloading and installing additional software packages. The Fedora software package manager is called "yum" and the Ubuntu/Debian software package manager is called "apt" (advanced package tool). Hence, for distributions such as Fedora, Ubuntu or Debian, you could use the software package manager to download and install Git. Alternatively, for any Linux distribution you can always download the source, build and install. The following subsections describe how to install Git on Fedora, Ubuntu and Debian distributions and how to install Git from source.
Installing Git on a Ubuntu/Debian Host[edit]
To install Git on a Ubuntu/Debian host using the "apt" package manager, as root user simply execute the following command.
apt-get install git-core
Installing Git on a Fedora Host[edit]
To install Git on a Fedora host using the "yum" package manager, as root user simply execute the following command.
yum install git-core
Installing Git using source on a Linux Host[edit]
To install Git using source on a Linux host:
- Download the latest Git package from here. For example, the latest available at time of writing was v1.6.0, so file git-1.6.0.tar.bz2 was downloaded.
- Extract the archive.
tar jxf git-1.6.0.tar.bz2
- Change directory so that you are in the directory where you extracted Git into.
cd git-1.6.0
- Execute the "configure" script to make sure that the Linux host has all the required software packages to run Git. Note if packages are missing then please consult the distributions website on how to obtain these packages.
- Build the Git package as user by executing the command.
make prefix=/usr all
- Install the Git package as root user by executing the command.
make prefix=/usr install
Configuring Git[edit]
Before you start using Git, there are some a few items that you may wish to configured first. When developers are making changes to a Git repository, it is very useful to track which developers made which modifications. To avoid each developer having to manually enter their details for each change they make, users can simply specify the following environment variables and Git will automatically embed these details when changes are made.
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME ; name of author GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL ; email address of author GIT_COMMITTER_NAME ; name of committer GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL ; email address of committer
When changes are made to a repository, Git allows the user to enter a short description summarizing what modifications have been made. This is another feature that is very beneficial for monitoring changes. To allow a user to enter such a description, Git will start the default text editor on the host. You can override the default text editor used by Git, by setting the following environment variable.
GIT_EDITOR ; editor used by git
If you are using a BASH shell, then the above environment variables can be defined as follows.
export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='Joe Blogs' export firstname.lastname@example.com export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME='Joe Blogs' export firstname.lastname@example.com export GIT_EDITOR=vim
Cloning Git Trees[edit]
A very useful feature of Git is the ability to clone repositories that are located on remote hosts. Git supports two protocols for cloning remote repositories and these are HTTP and the Git protocol. The Git protocol is more efficient than HTTP. However, if you host is situated behind a firewall, then chances are the port used by Git will be blocked and so HTTP may be the only protocol you can use.
To clone a remote repository, such as the DaVinci Linux Git tree, you first need to find out the URL where the Git tree is located. For example, the DaVinci Linux Git tree is hosted here. Viewing this website, you will then find a description of the Git tree and you will be able to browse the history of the Git tree. This website for the DaVinci Linux Git tree provides the following information for cloning the Git tree.
To clone one of these trees:
git-clone git://source.mvista.com/git/ + project
Hence, to clone the repository using the Git protocol you would execute something like the following.
git-clone git://source.mvista.com/git/linux-davinci-2.6.git /home/jblogs/linux-davinci-2.6.git
Please note that if you are behind a firewall the Git protocol may not work. It is common for firewalls to block the port used by the Git protocol. If working behind a firewall see Using Git Behind a Firewall
Now although the website for the DaVinci Linux Git tree does not state explicitly that it supports the HTTP protocol for cloning Git tree, you may try using HTTP. However, unless you are behind a firewall where the Git protocol may not work, then it is advised that you use the Git protocol versus HTTP. Additionally, there are no guarantees that HTTP will work. To clone the Git tree using the HTTP protocol you would execute something like the following.
git-clone http://source.mvista.com/git/linux-davinci-2.6.git /home/jblogs/linux-davinci-2.6.git
Updating Your Git Tree Clone[edit]
The Git trees are frequently updated with new features and patches to fix issues. Once you have made an initial clone of the Git tree, periodically you may wish to sync your local clone with the Git tree you created your clone from. To do this, go to the directory where your Git tree resides and execute the "
git pull" command.
cd /home/jblogs/linux-davinci-2.6.git git pull
Viewing the Git History[edit]
To view the Git history, simply execute the following command.
git log
The "
git log" command displays a summary of the updates or commits made to the Git repository in the order of newest to oldest. The below shows a snippet of the output from "
git log" for the DaVinci Git tree.

Every commit made to the Git tree has a unique 40 digit hexadecimal number that is used to identify the commit. The 40 digit hexadecimal number is usually referred to as the "object name." From the output of "
git log" above, the 40 digit object names for the commits can be seen. These object names are calculated using a secure hash algorithm, namely the SHA1 hash. There are many advantages to using the SHA1 hash, because not only does it generate a unique number to track changes, but it also provides a mechanism to detect corruption in the repository.
The "
git log" command only provides a summary of the changes that were made. To view the details of a specific commit the following command can be used.
git show <object name>
For example, to view the details of that commit titled "ARM: DaVinci: Update IO address pointer typechecking" from the above output of the "
git log", the following command would be executed.
git show 832e2db0642e148d8a30ec998c1e38910a96acc4
In the previous section, it was shown that Git uses 40 digit object names, calculated using the SHA1 hash to identify the various commits made to the Git tree. These 40 digit numbers are not something that are easy to remember. Hence, whenever making commits it can be useful to create a "tag" that will be associated with this particular commit. It is up to the user which commits you tag, however, by doing so, it can make it much easier perform merges, comparisons, etc.
When a Git tree is cloned, tags are also inherited from the parent. To view all tags present in the Git tree execute the following command.
git tag -l
Tags are created using the following command.
git tag <tag-name>
Tags can be deleted using the following command.
git tag -d <tag-name>
Often times you may want to compare two versions of a file based on tags. For example, suppose you created two tags for "hello.c", one called "alpha" and another called "beta". To diff between the two tags use the following command.
git diff alpha beta -- hello.c
-- separates the tag names from the file to be diff'd.
Creating a Development Branch[edit]
Git repositories have the concept of "heads" and "branches". A branch reflects one path of development from a particular state of the repository. A given repository can have unlimited numbers of branches and branches can be created from other branches. Every branch in a repository has an associated branch head. The head is a pointer to the latest commit for the branch.
To view all current branches in a repository simply execute the following command.
git branch
After cloinng the DaVinci Git tree, executing "git branch" would show something like the following. Please note that the "
*" symbol indicates the current branch.
for-rmk * master origin
The above shows that the Git repository has three branches. The master branch represents the main branch of the repository. Every Git repository has a master branch. Whenever you create or clone at Git repository a master branch is created automatically. When you clone a repository a branch called "origin" is also created and this represents the Git repository that was cloned. The other branch called "for-rmk" is a custom branch that is present in the Git repository that was cloned. Whenever a repository is cloned, as the name of the command implies, all custom branches are also inherited.
Developers can create custom branches using the "git branch" command for doing experimental work. For example, a new branch called "testing", to be used for development purposes, can be created by executing the following command. This command will create a new branch with the same state as the current branch.
git branch testing
You may also create a branch based upon any previous state of the Git tree too. For example, executing "
git tag -l" to list all the tags for the DaVinci Git tree would show something like the following.
asoc-merge-0002 pre-2.6.24-merge soc-merge0001 v2.6.11 v2.6.11-tree v2.6.12 v2.6.12-rc2 v2.6.12-rc3 v2.6.12-rc4 v2.6.12-rc5 v2.6.12-rc6 v2.6.13 ...
You may use any of the above tags to create a new branch from that point in time. For example, to create a new branch called "testing" based on release "v2.6.13" the following command would be executed.
git checkout -b testing v2.6.13
Creating a new branch as shown above does not automatically switch the repository in to the context of the new branch. Switching between branches is performed by using the "
git checkout" command. For example, the following command would be used to switch to the testing branch.
git checkout testing
Similarly to switch from "testing" back to the master branch the following command would be executed.
git checkout master
Branches can always be removed. Therefore, if you created a branch called "testing" and sometime later wished to delete it, you could do so using the below command.
git branch -D testing
Adding, Editing, Renaming and Removing Files[edit]
Once a Git repository has been created or cloned, it may be necessary to add, edit, rename or delete source files in the repository. The following commands allow you to do this.
git add <filename> // Add a new file to the repository git mv <filename> <new-filename> // Rename a file git rm <filename> // Remove a file
Please note that after executing any of the above commands, you also need to execute the "
git commit" command to commit this modification to the repository. For example, suppose you wish to add a new file called "myfile.c" to the repository. To do so the following commands would be executed.
git add myfile.c git commit
Executing "
git commit", commits the changes to the Git repository and starts a text editor where you may to enter an commit message to summarise the changes made. The commit messages entered can be viewed by running the "
git log" command.
# Please enter the commit message for your changes. # (Comment lines starting with '#' will not be included) # On branch master # # Initial commit # # Changes to be committed: # (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage) # # new file: myfile.c #
Using Git Behind a Firewall[edit]
If you are trying to clone git trees from behind a firewall, you may find that it doesn't work and this is typically due to the fact that the firewall is blocking the port that is used by the Git protocol. You may use HTTP as opposed to Git but there are no guarantees that HTTP will work. You can workaround firewalls and still use the Git protocol by using a tool called corkscrew.
To install corkscrew on a Ubuntu/Debian host using the "apt" package manager, simply execute the following command.
sudo apt-get install corkscrew
Alternatively, you may download the corkscrew source from here and install as follows.
tar zxf corkscrew-2.0.tar.gz cd corkscrew-2.0 ./configure make cp corkscrew /usr/bin/
Create a new file called "git-proxy.sh" with the following contents and replace "<proxy-name>" and "<proxy-port>" with the actual proxy name and proxy port information.
#!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/corkscrew <proxy-name> <proxy-port> $*
For example...
#!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/corkscrew myproxy.com 80 $*
Make sure the file "git-proxy.sh" is executable. To make the file executable execute the following command.
chmod a+x git-proxy.sh
To configure git to always use the proxy whenever you use the git protocol execute the following command.
git config --global core.gitproxy '<path to proxy>/git-proxy.sh'
To configure git to only use the proxy for specific URLs, execute something similar to the following. The below command configures git to use the proxy for all URLs with a kernel.org suffix.
git config --global core.gitproxy '<path to proxy>/git-proxy.sh for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$'
Setting up a Git Server[edit]
To setup a simple Git server on a Linux host to enable other users on the same network to clone your Git repositories, first you need to install the "git-daemon" package. To install the git-daemon package on a Ubuntu/Debian host using the "apt" package manager, as root user simply execute the following command.
apt-get install git-daemon-run
After installing the "git-daemon" package, it is necessary to configure the server. You may configure the server by editing the file "/etc/sv/git-daemon/run." To configure the server to export all the git trees in the directory "/pub/gittrees" on the host the file "/etc/sv/git-daemon/run" would be edited as follows.
#!/bin/sh exec 2>&1 echo 'git-daemon starting.' exec git-daemon --verbose --export-all --base-path=/pub/gittrees /pub/gittrees
The path at the end of the "exec" command above indicates where the git trees are located that you wish the servre to export. The option "--export-all" simply tells the server to export all the git trees found in this location. You may configure the server to only export specific git trees. To do so, please see the "git-daemon" manual page for more details. The option "--base-path" remaps all the path requests as relative to the given path. For example, if you run git-daemon with --base-path=/pub/gittrees on example.com, then if you later try to pull git://example.com/hello.git, git-daemon will interpret the path as /pub/gittrees/hello.git.
Git rebase tricks[edit]
by Kevin Hilman -- ver 0.2
Here's a short overview of a couple of git rebase tricks that I use all the time.
Recommended background reading: Git User's manual
This has been written with some quilt analogies so folks who are already familiar with using quilt for this will see the equivalents easily. If you're not familiar with quilt, just ignore the 'Quilt analogy' parts.
Quilt analogy: Quilt users are probably used to doing things like:
$ quilt pop -a <change kernel base> $ quilt push -a <manually fix conflicts>
In git, this is called a rebase.
Interactive rebase: git rebase --interactive (git rebase -i)[edit]
Quilt analogy: An interactive rebase is like editing the series file between a 'quilt pop -a' and 'quilt push -a'.
Assume you have a dev branch 'dev-branch' based at v2.6.30:
v2.6.30------v2.6.31-rc1---------v2.6.31-rc2------------linus/master | | | \ ---A--B--C--D--E--F--G--dev-branch
and you want to rebase it on a different upstream head, such as v2.6.31-rc2. However, you'd like to reorganize your commits while doing the rebase. Using interactive rebase, you can drop commits, reorder commits, squash commits (combine multiple commits into a single commit) or edit them interactively before they are rebased.
NOTE: I use A, B, C... above as shorthand for git commit IDs, or git tags.
Assume you want to rebase your dev-branch onto v2.6.31-rc2. To start the interactive rebase, do:
$ git rebase -i v2.6.31-rc2 dev-branch
This will bring up an edit window with a list of all the commits to be rebased, and will look something like this:
pick 0c2a40e changelog for commit A pick debd519 changelog for commit B pick 39780da changelog for commit C pick e319a58 changelog for commit D pick c3969e3 changelog for commit E pick d6c3bb9 changelog for commit F pick ef37d5b changelog for commit G pick ed83a57 changelog for commit H
It is in editing this file that all the magic happens...
Example 1: dropping or re-ordering patches[edit]
Quilt analogy: removing or re-ordering patches in the series files
In the edit window, just like a quilt series file, just remove the lines of the commits, or re-order them as you wish.
When done, save the file and rebase will continue.
Resulting tree, assuming C and D dropped, and G moved to the beginning:
v2.6.30------v2.6.31-rc1---------v2.6.31-rc2------------linus/master | | | \ ---G--A--B--E--F--dev-branch
Example 2: squashing (combining commits together)[edit]
Quilt analogy: quilt fold
Let's assume that commits D and E are only very minor changes or fixes to commit C and for the rebase, they can just be combined (squashed) into commit C. This kind of thing is often useful for upstream submissions where the upsteram maintainer may not be interested in all the minor edits and fixes along the way, but only in the final result.
To squash D and E into C, change the 'pick' for D and E into 'squash' (or 's'), save the file and rebase will continue.
Git will also combine all the changelogs for all squashed commits into a single changelog and give you a chance to edit/combine the changelog entries as well.
Resulting tree:
v2.6.30------v2.6.31-rc1---------v2.6.31-rc2------------linus/master | | | \ ---A--B--C'--F--dev-branch
(where C' is the squashed version of C, D and E)
Example 3: editing commits[edit]
Assume that while rebasing, you might want to change a commit slightly. This might be simply to modify the changelog, or to change the patch.
In the edit window, change the 'pick' to 'edit' (or 'e'), save the file and rebase will continue until it applies that commit.
When it reaches the 'edit' commit it will stop, and give you the chance to make any changes. Make any changes, add them to the index using 'git add <files-that-were-changed>' and commit them using 'git commit --amend' (NOTE: see rewriting history section of Git User's manual for more details on --amend.)
When changes are committed, continue rebase with 'git rebase --continue'.
Also note that additional commits could also be inserted here before continuing either by cherry-picking from other places or by the normal edit/commit cycle.
Partial-tree rebase: git rebase --onto[edit]
Example 1[edit]
Assume you have a dev branch 'dev-branch' based at v2.6.30:
v2.6.30------v2.6.31-rc1---------v2.6.31-rc2------------linus/master | | | \ ---A--B--C--D--dev-branch
and you want to rebase it on a different upstream head, such as v2.6.31-rc2. However, many of the changes in your dev-branch are already upstream, but may have gone upstream in a different form or were changed by upstream maintainers for various reasons.
In this case, you only want to rebase the parts of your dev-branch that are not upstream.
In this example, assume that commits A..B are already upstream, and you know the ones in your branch will conflict with the upstream versions, so you really only want to rebase commits C..dev-branch.
First, optionally create a branch that keeps track of the old branch in case you need to undo/redo
$ git branch old-dev-branch dev-branch
then, using --onto, to rebase commits C..dev-branch onto v2.6.31-rc2, do:
$ git checkout -f v2.6.31-rc2 $ git rebase --onto HEAD B dev-branch
Alternatively, this can be done in a single step:
$ git rebase --onto v2.6.31-rc2 B dev-branch
Either way, you will end up on the new 'dev-branch' and the result will be:
v2.6.30------v2.6.31-rc1---------v2.6.31-rc2------------linus/master | | | | | | \ \ ---A--B--C--D--old-dev-branch ---C'--D'--dev-branch
Note in this case, C' and D' are the same as C and D except they now have different commit IDs.

One of Britain's reigning musical giants will be on hand to see England's future king and queen get hitched.
Elton John has confirmed that he and partner David Furnish will attend the April wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, reports People.
"We do have an invitation," John told Canada's CTV. "I've been trying to be discreet."
U.S. & World
John, who himself is a knight, will join a host of other European royals at what's being called the wedding of the century.
The famed singer, who remade his hit "Candle in the Wind" as a tribute to the late Princess Diana, commented that the future princess has a lot in common with the woman whose title she will assume.
Kate is "Diana in personality," John said. "She is very discreet, she is a very beautiful girl."
Of the couple, he said that, "they have been together a long time and I think she [Middleton] has handled the pressure so much."
He also voiced his hopes that William becomes king at a young age.
"I think we need young people like him to lead," John said. "I think he will be a tremendous king - not that Charles won't, but I think Williams will be...tremendous."

Snooki -- If Jersey Had a Baseball Team, They'd Be 'THE LOSERS'
Snooki If NJ Had a Baseball Team They'd Be 'The Losers!'
If New Jersey had a baseball team, it should be called "THE LOSERS," this according to Snooki ... talk about biting the hand that fed ya.
It's pretty shocking, considering the MTV star spent several years in NJ ... where she lived, boozed and shot her reality show.
But right after she made the comment on the way out of Boa Steakhouse in L.A., the backtracking began ...
Snooks insisted the comment was NOT made to be a shot at Jersey on the whole, but more of a shot at HERSELF and the "Jersey Shore" cast, because "we were all turds back then."

EDT:Tutorial: RUI With DataBase Lesson 1
Access a database with EGL Rich UI
|< Previous | Next >
Lesson 1: Plan the application
Design your application on paper before you begin coding.
When you plan an application, do as follows:
- List your objectives, as this tutorial did earlier.
- Sketch the interface.
- Consider the flow of events.
- Identify the application structure.
Sketch the interface
Use this sketch as a guide when you create the components of the interface:
At the left are three buttons (Add, Delete, and Sample) and a data grid; on the right are two buttons (Clear and Save) and a single-record layout.
Consider the application flow
At run time, the user can do as follows:
- Click the Sample button to delete all rows from the database table, to add sample rows, and to display the sample rows in the data grid.
- Click the Add button to add an almost empty row to the database and to display that data.
- Click the Delete button to delete, from the database, the data that was displayed in the currently selected row of the data grid.
- Click the Clear button to remove content from the single-record layout.
- Click a row of the data grid to copy the details of that row to the single-record layout.
- Change the details in the single-record layout and click the Save button to update the related database row.
The reader might disagree with this flow of events. For example, why not have the user clear the single-record layout, type data into the layout, and click the Add button to create a database row that has useful data from the start? That change is one of many options, and a good learning strategy is to follow the steps of this tutorial and to use the lessons learned for a production-level application.
Identify the application structure
When you write a complex Rich UI application, you write code in several Rich UI handlers, each of which corresponds to a web page or to a section of a web page. However, in this tutorial you develop only one handler. As noted earlier, a handler can access services, some of which you might develop by using an EGL Service type.
Whenever possible, use preexisting resources. Your Rich UI application will use the following EGL projects that are provided with the product:
- org.eclipse.edt.rui.dojo_version
- Provides the following widget types for this tutorial:
- DojoButton
- DojoCheckbox
- DojoComboBox
- DojoCurrencyTextBox
- DojoDateTextBox
- DojoTitlePane
All those widget types are based on Dojo, as are many other widgets that are available to you. For background details on that technology, see Dojo toolkit (http://dojotoolkit.org).
- org.eclipse.edt.rui.widgets_version
- Provides the following widget types for this tutorial:
- DataGrid
- GridLayout
- TextField
- TextLabel
You will develop the following logic:
- SQLService
- A dedicated service that interacts with a database table.
- PaymentLib
- A library that can provide code to several handlers
- PaymentFileMaintenanceHandler
- The handler that defines the web application.
Lesson checkpoint
In this lesson, you completed the following tasks:
- Sketched the application interface
- Considered the runtime flow of events.
- Identified the application structure
In the next lesson, you create the EGL source projects in which you will define the application programs.

Some where in France
Dear Em.
Another big batch of mail and still no news from you. Two from Lil. Now see how I feel. In her letter she states that every thing at home there is all right, that Pa, you Lena and the rest was O.K. which information she gained through you in a conversation you two had on the phone. Im glad she is in touch with you for it was through her letters that I feel assured that you are all well. It seems as though I just stopped writing to you when here I am at it again. I wrote a short letter last night and it has only been gone from this office an hour. Well Im at it again.
There is one way to beat this mail system. It is, flood the clerks with letters and take a chance that a few will get through. You will here from me all right (if it is possible) even if I don't here a word from you. It must be that your letters get lost strayed or stolen for Im sure I don't get any wheres near the number you're sending. Im afraid it will be another two to three weeks before I hear from you for the next lot won't be due until then. What would you say or think if you hadn't heard from me for five weeks. Here's hoping (cheerfully) that one of your letters will be amongest those that are coming.
It is a dark dismal day here and I think we will get some snow. What snow we did get about three or four days ago is still with us not having melted a particle. Real wintery here now, and I suppose you're getting the same kind of weather yourselves. Good luck to you all. (Im very lucky so don't get peeved!) Very lucky considering curcumstance (or whatever you call it.)
Had my photo taken today but they won't be ready before Friday Dec. 28-1917. You will hear from me again (that is I will write before then) for there isnt two days at most between my letters. As soon as said pictures are ready off to the U.S. they go. I know (and I havent seen them myself yet) that you will note a difference if you put this picture up against any of the others that I had taken while at Lynnfield.
We have got our gas masks now for both crying and chloride gases. We will soon be going through this test. We are also practising the art of throwing bombs, which is done far different from the throwing of a base ball or snow ball. The art of digging regular first-line trenches is being gone through by the pioneers, the signal platoon has their equipment to work with, the one pound gun platoon has its guns, the bombers and sappers their stokes mortars, and real work is in order now. Drill all day and school and lectures at night then nothing to do till the morning.
The Volunteers won't weaken though and we will be their when our time comes. This is the spirit of this the 26th Div. which comprises N.E. Militia men. Give my regards and best wishes to all and don't forget to drown me with same in letters from you. Bon nuit.

Social Security is with you throughout life's journey. For the millions of individuals we help each day — including Veterans, widows and widowers, retirees, and people with disabilities — our priority is to help you secure today and tomorrow. In our efforts to improve the quality of service we provide to Veterans, we're proud to announce our partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to use health IT to help Veterans and their families.
This partnership between Social Security and the VA allows for the expedited processing of disability cases. It enables us to receive medical records electronically from the VA through the eHealth Exchange. This process saves time and money for both partners and allows Social Security to make decisions faster for Veterans and their dependents who apply for Social Security disability benefits.
Medical documentation is essential to making a disability determination. Before using this new capability, we obtained medical records through a manual process. When eligible Veterans apply for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits, it might have taken weeks or months for Social Security to receive paper records from the VA. This new partnership lets Social Security obtain the VA Veterans' health information electronically within minutes. Through this new national initiative, we can obtain Veterans' medical records electronically without human intervention. It's easy, convenient and secure, just the way we like it.
Currently, Social Security can receive electronic health records from over 50 other health IT partners and the Department of Defense in about 7,000 facilities across the United States. Our goal is to continue expanding our network of healthcare organizations and federal agencies that provide electronic health records to us within a safe and secure environment so that we can secure today and tomorrow faster for our Veterans.
To learn more about the health IT initiative, please visit our website at https://www.ssa.gov/disabilityssi/hit/.

Introduction / HistoryThe Nat or Nut peoples name is derived from the Sanskrit word nata which means 'dancer'. They are a traditional occupational caste known for dancing and singing. The Nat have a generally lower caste status or in some states of India they are a Scheduled Caste. The Nat Muslim can be found in north India by the names Nar, Naitak or Natak, though a large majority of the Nat are Hindus. About 25% of Nat are Muslims.
What are their lives like?As traditional dancers and acrobats that are often semi-nomadic, the Nat Muslims can still be found in acrobatic events and as singers, dancers or unskilled labourers. Men and women are known to sing and play the flute or dholak. Tattooing is common for women especially on the forehead. The Nat Muslims of Nepal speak Bhojpuri and Nepali. The Nat follow Sunni Muslim traditions and are non-vegetarian. They can be given in child marriages and nuclear families can be more common than extended families among them. The Nat Muslims tend to have a very low literacy rate.
What are their needs?It is possible that the Nat Muslim in the lower castes would be open to the Gospel but very few have ever tried and even fewer have worked with the Nat Muslim of Nepal! Small business development and micro loans could likely be a big encouragement to this entrepreneurial people group.

Serious Entertaining: Oktoberfest
Seasonal menu planning for the perfect dinner party.
Oktoberfest is a 16-day festival that started in September* and ends this Sunday. That means you only have a few more days to wear your lederhosen while drinking steins of Märzen beers! Here are some beer-friendly recipes for brats, kraut, pretzels, and more.
* Why isn't it called Septemberfest? I've always wondered that too. Turns out the very first Oktoberfest was held in 1810 from October 12 to the 17, so they stuck with that name.
Get enough starch in ya while glugging all those fantastic Bavarian beers.
Do brats taste better because of the brews or vice versa? Well, whichever, what's Oktoberfest without some sausage.
- Grilled Bratwurst with Beer, Mustard, and Sauerkraut
- Kielbasa with Pierogi and Sauerkraut
- Sausage Stuffed Peppers
- Sausage and Sauerkraut Stew With Duck Fat Dumplings
- Currywurst
Roast Pork and Cabbage
According to our beer pairings expert Michael Agnew, the Märzenbiers taste so great with pork because the browning that occurs during pork-roasting tie into the toasty melanoidin flavors in the beer. The beer's malty sweetness also pulls out some sweetness from the red cabbage.
- Brined Pork Roast With Red Cabbage And Semmelknödel
- Roasted Pork Chops With Drunken Honeycrisp Apples
- Braised Red Cabbage with Apples and Raisins

You won't find much country music blaring in the Cubs' locker room during the season — at least not the Texas Red Dirt kind Randy Wells likes. The Cubs pitcher said the music in the locker room is predominantly reggae, which he doesn't mind, and hip-hop, which he does mind.
Rather than battle with teammates over the music, Wells prefers to keep his headphones on and listen to George Strait and Merle Haggard.
"I get pumped up by good lyrics, even if it's a slow song," said Wells, 29, over the phone last week. "But I get it. There are 25 guys in there. I know guys don't want sappy country music playing to bring them down, so I never try to put it on."
On Friday, Wells won't have to relegate his music to his headphones. The Belleville, Ill. native and Texas Red Dirt singer Stoney LaRue will host Boot Bash 2011 at Joe's Bar. The benefit concert will feature performances by LaRue and Midnight River Choir, with proceeds going to the troops-focused Boot Campaign. Wells will be wearing the combat boots that have become a symbol of the Boot Campaign and encourages guests to buy a pair at Joe's during the event.
"(The Boot Campaign) is designed to raise awareness about post-traumatic stress disorder and helps these people deal with the rigors of civilian life when they come back," Wells said.
This won't be Wells' first time teaming up with LaRue. LaRue performed when Wells hosted Red Dirt Fest at Joe's last year (Ryan Theriot was supposed to co-host the benefit concert but was traded from the Cubs to the St. Louis Cardinals shortly before the event). Wells also co-worte the song "Dresses" with LaRue, but hasn't written a song since.
"I'm trying to," Wells said. "I've hit a block lately. I got lucky with that one with Stoney. I tried to do one on my own, but I don't do well by myself."
Is Wells thinking about a career in song writing once his baseball career ends?
"It's not my No. 1 priority right now," Wells said. "I plan on winning baseball games first."

Get to a Bisons Game: CLICK HERE!
TODAY'S GAME: Tonight, the Buffalo Bisons face the Durham Bulls in the second game of a four-game series at Durham Bulls Athletic Park (7:05 p.m.). The Herd began their eight-game roadtrip with a solid 9-3 victory over Durham last night. After this four game series, the Bisons will travel to Norfolk for a four-game series against the Tides, June 2-5.
THE REY TO GO: INF Argenis Reyes is currently on a nine-game hit streak -the longest stretch for a Bisons' player this year. Since May 19, Reyes has averaged .343 (12-35). Reyes has reached safely in 11 straight games and currently leads the Bisons with a .380 on-base percentage.
ON BROADWAY: With the success of former Bisons C Omir Santos in New York, the Mets were able to trade C Ramon Castro to the White Sox for RHP Lance Broadway last night. Broadway was 0-1 with a 5.65ERA in eight relief appearances with Chicago this year (16.0IP, 19H, 10R, 9ER, 9BB, 9K). He was also 0-2 with a 5.63ERA in three starts with Charlotte this year.
COOPER'S RECORDS: OF Jason Cooper hit an RBI-triple in last night's victory. The run driven in gives him 216RBI for his Bisons career. That total ranks second in the team's Modern Era behind only Buffalo Baseball Hall of Famer INF Bill Selby (245). The triple was Cooper's 20th in a Bisons uniform. That ties him with INF Joe Inglett for the most in the Modern Era.
LUCKY 7s: Two of the hottest bats in the Bisons lineup belong to OF Cory Sullivan and INF Javier Valentin. Both veterans coming into tonight's game on seven-game hit streaks. Sullivan has hit .444 (12-27) during his stretch to raise his average 50 points since May 21. Valentin has hit .346 (9-26) during his streak with three doubles, a home run and four RBI.
CORA JOINS HERD: INF Alex Cora joined the Bisons on a major league rehab assignment yesterday and went 1-5 with a double in his Herd debut. The Mets placed Cora on the disabled list on May 18 with a torn ligament in his right thumb. Prior to that, Cora had hit .333 (17-51) with four doubles, a triple and four RBI in 16 games with New York.

We take responsibility – for our customers, products, employees and society. Find out more about our sustainable business practices.
It might be due to the wonderful, natural environment that surrounds the company headquarters, where the Adam Hall Group settled many years ago. Gentle rolling hills, dense forests, lush green fields and fertile fields. The Hochtaunus Mountains, an ancient cultural landscape. It's easy to imagine how inspiration and creativity, but also management guided by common sense, could become the supporting framework and guiding principle of a company based here.
We are an international manufacturer, and in dialogue with many people, companies, organisations, customers and suppliers. That's why we believe in the importance of taking responsibility for the environment, and are committed to the rigorous optimisation of our energy consumption.
An easily visible indicator of this is the 6,500 m² photovoltaic system on the roof of our company headquarters. Its connection to the local heating supply provides an alternative to conventional heating systems, for environmentally-friendly energy usage.
We are a company that is in touch with our social responsibilities to our employees and surroundings, and which sees itself as a responsible component of the environment, and which does not see the preservation of this environment as less important than corporate success. It is a living process, one which permanently drives us. This is an important characteristic of the company culture that we have created.
We are a manufacturer and distributer of event technology and equipment for musicians. This explains why we focus on music. And that's why we're happy to support upcoming talent, bands, schools and associations, for example with so-called "equipment sponsoring" and other contributions – which have increased significantly. Proof that it is important to support as many enthusiastic young artists as possible. As well as this, we are also members of various associations that support active music making and the professionalization or training in event technology.

Fatal Flaw?
I just spotted a huge flaw in my story - but think it isn't critical. Just after some advice :)
My plot is about getting a mem-stick with vitally important data on it to a particular person & place.
My flaw is that this data could feasibly be uploaded to the person via the internet, or the mem-stick posted in the mail, which kinda undermines my hero's hazardous trek across the country.
I'm covering this flaw by exposing that the mem-stick is hardware protected, so if it's inserted into a standard USB port the data gets fried - and if it's posted in the mail it could get intercepted by the authrities who are hunting for the mem-stick.
This arse-covering seems a bit feeble I know, but I'm still feeling kinda safe here because my flaw is the self-same one I've just spotted in STAR-WARS, and nobody else ever seems to have done so.
What do you think? Am I safe on this one, or not?
Many thanks :)

Maybe I just answered my own question.
Re: Fatal Flaw?
As far as fatal flaws, there is no greater flaw than in The Fellowship of the Ring when they're discussing what to do with the One Ring: Just have the eagle drop it into the volcano. Yeah, yeah, before all the Ring fans get up in arms about how the eagles wouldn't be involved in the affairs of man, blahblahblah...but you woulda thought SOMEONE would've mentioned it.
Re: Fatal Flaw?
Thanks for the reassurance HH :)
Nice one spotting that about the eagles :) And I always wondered why the Valar let Melkor out of his prison in the first place (in "The Silmirillian").
I think I've covered my flaw up further, by having a twist that the hero's quest is just a dummy to let the bad guys recover the plans, leaving somebody else free to deliver a copy of them unlooked for.
hmm - maybe there''s some more milage in that one too - unless this idea itself is a big plot-flaw...? :( I mean, imagine if Luke's quest was one of many, with 20-30 other messangers showing up at the rebel-base long before he does. :mad:
Re: Fatal Flaw?
Things are very different today, in a film set in our world. I think you need something like it can only be read on a certain machine or something, as a security feature.
The mail thing you can dodge in a variety of ways - you know the post office requires you to hand packages above a certain size to a person, you can't just drop them off, right? Well, you can, if you just bought the postage in such a way as its trackable to your credit card.
You could probably work something in along those lines.
Re: Fatal Flaw?
Re: Fatal Flaw?
Re: Fatal Flaw?
Maybe he does mail it and then it keeps getting returned mysteriously... Or maybe there is a USPS strike after he mails it. Then he's gotta go pry it out of one of those big blue metal mail boxes on the street? That could be fun.
Re: Fatal Flaw?
Thanks for all the help and great ideas everyone :)
Makes me feel this idea isn't totally nonsense :D
Many thanks
Re: Fatal Flaw?
i'm assuming the protag will accompany the flash drive ao maybe the drive is password protected and he's scared of the password being intercepted too.
Remember the old say "don't ask if you're paranoid, ask if you're paranoid enough?"
Re: Fatal Flaw?
No. The protag doesn't have a big part in this one - it's one of those split protag/MC stories. The MC is caught up in the struggle between the protag/antag, neither of whom get much screen-time.
The MC has to work out what's going on, and make plans on-the-fly.

Sidestepping threats and jeers, the Afghan women on the country's national cycling team are risking their lives to compete and doing their part to help women's rights race forward in the war-torn nation. NBC's Mike Taibbi reports.
By Mike Taibbi, Correspondent, NBC News
KABUL, Afghanistan -- Salma Kakar just turned 16 but she's already leading a revolution on two wheels.
She's the lead rider on the new Afghan National Cycling Team and, says Coach Abdul Seddiqi, the joyous face of a new phenomenon in the war-torn country: females riding bikes.
"I assure you...in the next two or three years you will find girls and women riding bikes, all over Kabul," said Seddiqi.
Right now, even though Seddiqi says scores of young girls are waiting in the wings, it's just Salma and her dozen female teammates making a statement in the face of Afghanistan's male-dominated society: that while women rarely drive cars almost never ride bikes, that's now history.
"We are changing minds," Salma said through an interpreter. Then, her serious expression changed back to the 100-watt smile that glows like a headlamp when she rides.
Her dream, she says, is "to wave the flag of Afghanistan in the Olympics, to prove to the world that women in Afghanistan have progressed."
Taking risks to ride
To get there, Salma and the team have a guardian angel in the U.S.: Colorado cyclist Shannon Galpin, who spent years doing relief work in Afghanistan and, in the process, rode her own bike over miles of the country's remote mountain trails.
Galpin met Seddiqi and set up nonprofit Mountain2Mountain to find donors of bikes and gear to get the national team off the ground. And when Seddiqi told her he planned to have a co-ed team, something Galpin hadn't anticipated, she kicked her non-profit into overdrive.
"If they're willing to take the risks ... then the least we can do is support them," Galpin said of the female riders racing against tradition.
The bicycle has become a vehicle for social change among a group of Afghan women. Shannon Galpin, a Colorado mountain biker, is helping to push boundaries by nurturing the first-ever Afghan women's national cycling team with dreams of Olympic glory.
It's not an easy road, of course; change in this stubborn, struggling country never is. Seddiqi has the team train in secret, changing locations, sometimes at night. His female riders, all of them "good Muslims," wear long pants and full sleeves, and headscarves under their helmets. They still get yelled at; and there have been death threats.
And at Jada Maiwand, Kabul's main bicycle emporium where hundreds of male riders gather every morning to tinker with their bikes or buy or trade for a new one, the very idea of women riding bikes -- to go to work, to the market, or anywhere -- gets a uniform "No!"
"Women should be in the home, in the kitchen," one bike shop owner said. "And if they are outside, their faces should be covered."
"Some men try to humiliate us," Salma said. "But more and more they encourage us."
A symbol of freedom
With a mother who's a pediatrician, a father who's an engineer, and a big sister who publishes Afghanistan's first feminist magazine, "Riudad," Salma says women will be riding bikes from now on, and other freedoms will follow.
Galpin, ready to bring another roomful of high-end bikes and gear to Salma and her teammates, says bikes have always been a symbol of freedom, even in the U.S. where the women won the right to vote soon after they first started riding bikes over the objections of men at the dawn of the 20th century.
"I did not expect to see Afghan women biking now," Galpin said. "I thought it was still several years off. But the bike is an incredible vehicle for social justice … a vehicle for change."

It's been a cliché in politics for the past decade to say that the I-4 Corridor in Florida is a swing area.
"Watch independents in the I-4," has been a standard refrain from pundits as well as Democrats and Republicans alike, referring to voters along the interstate highway that cuts a swath West to East, from Tampa to North of Orlando.
But it looks like that just does not hold true anymore. Despite what was a tougher year than 2008 for President Obama, he once again ran up the score in the I-4.
The I-4 has changed quite a bit in 20 years. In fact, based on a First Read analysis of the six counties the highway passes through – Hillsborough, Polk, Osceola, Orange, Seminole, and Volusia – the I-4 Corridor has gone from about a 100,000-vote advantage for Republicans to a 100,000-vote advantage for Democrats.
Even in 2010, a year heavily tilted to Republicans, the losing Democratic gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink, won the I-4 counties by 15,000 votes.
And it's all about demographics. In the three counties that have become more Democratic, non-white populations have doubled in a decade.
The place most responsible for the shift is Orange County, which encompasses Orlando. Republicans had a 26,000-vote advantage in the 1992 presidential race and 1,000 in 1996. But Democrats won it by 6,000 in 2000, 1,000 in 2004, and 85,000 and 84,000, respectively, in 2008 and 2012.
What's more, it's shifted even in governor's races. In 1994 when Democrat Lawton Chiles defeated Jeb Bush, Orange went for Bush by 7,000 votes. In 1998, it was a 38,000-vote GOP advantage. It was 20,000 in 2002 and 2006, but, in 2010, Democrat Sink won it by 30,000.
Hillsborough and Osceola have also moved Democratic. Polk has remained Republican, while Volusia is the only county to trend Republican.
What explains this? Orange is now 55 percent non-white, including 28 percent Hispanic, 22 percent black and 5 percent Asian -- all groups that went overwhelmingly for Obama. In fact, according to the U.S. Census, as of 2010, the Hispanic, black and Asian populations have nearly doubled since a decade ago. There were 242,000 more Latinos (140,000), African Americans (75,000), and Asians (27,000) from 2000. At the same time, there were only 114,000 more whites - a net change of 128,000 non-whites.
Hillsborough is 48 percent non-white (25 percent Latino, 18 percent black, 4 percent Asian). The Latino population increased 70 percent from 2000 to 2010; the black population is up 37 percent; and the Asian population doubled.
Osceola is 65 percent non-white (46 percent Latino, 13 percent black, 3 percent Asian). It's the same demographic story here. The Latino, black, and Asian populations all doubled.
Volusia, on the other hand, is just 25 percent non-white. Polk is 35 percent non-white, and Seminole is 36 percent non-white. Minority growth in these counties was slower than Orange, Hillsborough, and Osceola.

Two months after hundreds of people were killed during street fighting between mainly Muslim rebels and Christian vigilantes in Central African Republic, a violent assault on the country's Muslims appears to be underway.
Factions of Séléka rebels spent much of last year rampaging and pillaging through the majority Christian country, but their disbanding last fall and the departure of their leader, Michel Djotodia, in January turned the tide against them. Catherine Samba-Panza was voted his replacement and asked all fighters to lay down their arms. But Christian militiamen called anti-balaka, or "anti-machete" in the local Sango dialect, have used her promotion as a prompt for retaliatory attacks against the Séléka and Muslim civilians.
French photojournalist William Daniels was recently on assignment for TIME and captured a snapshot of the current state of play. He said the strife in Bangui, where the carnage he photographed in December led to louder calls for humanitarian aid and an influx of French and African peacekeepers, appears a bit more localized. Some neighborhoods look normal and others, entirely empty, have been looted or burned. The main displacement camp at the capital's M'Poko International Airport houses more than 100,000 people.
In the country's north and west, where the foreign peacekeepers are trying to fan out with inconsistent or inconsequential success, the situation grows dire.
Chadians living in the country who can't safely trek to the border are taking flights from Bangui's airport. Some of Chad's peacekeepers reportedly participated in the Séléka's deadly raids. Daniels went to Boyélé, halfway between Bossangoa and Bouar, where he said all the houses were burned but the school was open. In Boali, he met a priest who chose to harbor hundreds of Muslims in his church guarded by African peacekeepers. Anti-balaka, who have threatened the priest, are looking for revenge.
Their weaponry is makeshift compared to that of the foreign forces, whose absence in certain areas has afforded the Christian militias a freedom similar to what Séléka earlier enjoyed. "We don't want to attack the Muslim civilians, we just want to attack the Séléka," one fighter told Daniels, adding that he thought all Muslims were Séléka.
Daniels went back to Central African Republic to bear witness to a conflict long-ignored, and plans to return after this trip. He understands the risk but recognizes the importance that the public and decision-makers see what he sees, so they can be moved to act—or at least care.
William Daniels is a photographer represented by Panos Pictures. Daniels previously wrote for LightBox about his escape from Syria.
