Clarissa Sanders, July 12th , 2020.
If your bedroom furniture is looking a little tired, a fresh coat of paint goes a long way towards creating a new look in any space. You can paint anything and everything, not just the walls. Reinvent a piece of furniture by changing the colour, or give a tired, dark brick fireplace a second life by painting it creamy white. Replacing doorknobs on a wardrobe or re-upholstering an old chair are also quick, easy projects that will transform your bedroom furniture. If you want a more dramatic update, work out a budget and identify any shabby old furniture which should be replaced. The starting point should be your bed. As this is the centrepiece of your bedroom, a new bed will make a dramatic difference.
Your bed should be the focal point of your design scheme, so accenting it with a new throw or bed linen set can instantly enhance your theme. For a delicate, feminine room, look for lace and pretty floral designs. For something more contemporary, go for bright colours which will really pop against neutral walls and floors. In the summer months, make your room bright and fresh with yellows and spring greens. Bold floral patterns are always popular during the warmer months, but if they are too quaint for your taste look for striking geometric shapes which lend a contemporary feel to your space. In winter, create a cosy hideaway with cosy knits and faux fur throws, and darker colours such as deep purples and plums. Finish with a scattering of cushions whose designs complement your theme.

Social security numbers of the deceased people are a public record. Any citizen of this country can go to the Social security web site and get this info. It is an important record for a number of reasons:
a. it helps to prevent identity theft
b. it helps to prevent voter fraud, as the ss numbers of the dead had to be purged from the databases. For example HAVA has demanded that the state of NJ not hold any National elections until they purge from their databases the numbers of the deceased
c. those numbers can be used in connection with other names and addresses in connection with campaign contributions fraud.
All of this needs to be investigated and reported to the authorities. I have written to Bob Stevens, that does technical support of this blog to remove anonymous option from this blog. If people have something to say, they should use their name.Letter from a reader is below.

OTTAWA — For the fourth time in four years, Canada will be hosting royalty this spring as Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, visit New Brunswick, Toronto and Saskatchewan during a three-day tour in May that begins on Victoria Day.
Heritage Minister James Moore announced details of the visit Monday morning.
As part of the Queen's diamond jubilee celebrations, the Royal Couple will kick off their whirlwind tour by touching down at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown in Oromocto, N.B., on May 21 for an official welcome.
"We are delighted that Their Royal Highnesses will join Canadians in celebrating the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty's reign as Queen of Canada," Heritage Minister James Moore said in the release. "We welcome the Royal Couple and look forward to showing them some of the best of what Canada has to offer."
Moore told reporters on a teleconference the visit highlights the strong ties between Canada and the Royal Family.
The visit marks the 16th trip to Canada for the Prince and the second for the Duchess.
Moore said the department expects the trip to cost less than $1 million — money from the existing Heritage Canada budget. Last year, the minister said the nine-day royal tour by William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, cost approximately $1.2 million.
The minister said the budgeted figure did not include security costs associated with the trip. On previous visits, security costs were about $1 million.
When the two arrive in Toronto, they will be greeted by emergency response workers before viewing a fireworks display over Lake Ontario, the minister said.
Charles and Camilla will visit the provincial legislatures in both Toronto and Regian — two of five opportunities the public will have to catch a glimpse of royalty that will also include a Victoria Day celebration in Saint John and a visit to the First Nations University in Regina.
In Toronto and Regina the royals hand out the Queen's Diamond Jubilee medals — awards created to commemorate six decades of Elizabeth's reign. Moore said the list of recipients for this round of the medals would be released at a later date.
Along with public events, the two royals will take part in private meetings with the leadership of the Assembly of First Nations. The prince will also meet with executives of one of his charities, Seeing is Believing — which brings business leaders into the community to promote corporate social responsibility.
The Duchess will get her first chance to visit the Queen's Own Rifles, a regiment for which she has just become colonel-in-chief, on May 22 in Toronto.
Also on Charles and Camilla's itinerary are a commemoration of the War of 1812 in Toronto, a celebration of the centennial of Regina's legislative building and a performance by the Regina Symphony Orchestra.
When the two depart from Regina an official ceremony, including full military honours, will send the Prince and Duchess off.

Granite and Radon Information
Over the past few years there has been some consumer confusion about rumored radiation levels occurring in natural granites used for residential countertops, floors, tiles, etc. Unfortunately, the origin of these concerns are advertisements and other communications from the manufacturers of radon detection devices and the producers of competing materials. Levels of radiation from granite products, which technically are measurable, are in fact, small fractional values of established thresholds for environmental safety. The truth of the matter is that granite is a safe product. It's been used for thousands of years and the relationship between granite and radon has been studied for years and years. How safe is granite? There have been mathematical models developed that show that one could live in an all-granite home or building, including sleeping on granite, for an entire year and still be within very safe levels of exposure. Nonetheless, the Marble Institute of America has produced this brochure to help you understand granites, radioactivity and natural stone.
Radioactivity in Granite: It's Natural
All rocks have a small amount of radioactivity in them due to the presence of minerals that contain radioactive elements uranium (U), thorium (Th) and potassium-40 (40K). Because granite typically contains more of these elements than most other rocks, it will be more radioactive than a slate or marble. All of the minerals in granite contain some radioelements; the white or pink feldspars contain 40K, the black biotites and horn-blendes contain 40K, U and Th, and the small inclusions of minerals such as zircon, apatite, sphene, etc. contain the most U and Th.
Some Frequently Asked Questions and the Answers
Q. What is radiation?
A. Radiation is energy that is transported as waves or particles. This includes visible light, infrared, ultraviolet and microwaves.
Q. What are the sources of nuclear radiation?
A. There are natural and man-made forms of radiation. Natural radiation includes cosmic radiation and emissions from radioactive elements in the earth, radon gas in your home, some foods and well water. Man-made radiation comes from dental x-rays, medical diagnostics and treatment, the remains of nuclear bomb testing, emissions from nuclear reactors, radioactive elements in drywall and concrete and cigarette smoke. The pie chart included in this brochure shows the approximate contribution of each of these to your annual radiation dose.
Q. How much radon is given off by a granite countertop, and how does this compare with other household materials?
A. Calculations show that, for an average countertop, containing an average uranium concentration of four ppm (parts per million), the concentration of radon that is given off by the countertop into the household air is 270,000 times less than the level of radon in the outside air. The maximum contact level that you would receive over one year if you were to sit on a countertop all of the time would be about one quarter of the annual radiation from all sources. If you were just a few inches away from the granite (such as when doing the dishes), the dose would be too low to measure.
Q. What about food that is prepared directly on the granite surface? Is there a chance that it could absorb radioactive energy, which later would be ingested by those eating the food?
A. The only way that radioactive elements such as uranium can get into the food is if they became dissolved in water and absorbed in the food. However, granite is one of the most insoluble materials known to man and the amount that could be dissolved is miniscule in comparison to the radioactive elements that are already in the food (in meat or from uptake by soil or air-born particles during growth). Radioactive energy given off at the granite surface will enter food that is directly in contact with the surface but, like all energetic rays, it changes into heat and/or non-radioactive particles. These processes happen quickly so the radiation does not remain in the food.
Radiation: It's All Around Us
It's in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, in the soil and rock we stand on, and in the sun's rays we like to bask in! Added to this is the radiation we get from man-made sources, such as x-rays, medical treatments, building materials, etc.
Radiation in Granite is Not Dangerous
From what we know, there are two ways in which countertops, tiles and other finishes made of granite might emit any level of radiation. The first is by the release of tiny amounts of the radioactive gas radon which can be inhaled. The second is by direct radiation from the surface itself to the homeowner. In both cases, the radiation emitted is from the same processed natural radioactive decay of one element into another. Compared to other radiation sources in the home and outside, the risk to the homeowner from radioactivity emitted from a granite countertop or tiles is practically non-existent. In fact, the amount of radon gas emitted by a granite countertop is less than one millionth of that already present in the household air from other sources.

A Legacy of Neglect: George I. Sįnchez, Mexican American Education, and the Ideal of Integration, 1940–1970
by Carlos Kevin Blanton - 2012
This biographical study of Dr. George I. Sįnchez, a leading Mexican American educator, intellectual, and activist from the 1930s through the 1960s, opens up the idea of compensatory education—the prevalent notion of the 1960s that schools use specialized instructional programs to combat the alleged cultural deprivation of some children, particularly minorities—to a wider focus. While George Sįnchez addressed key themes of compensatory education in critical and even predictive ways since at least the 1940s, he was not known to the compensatory education movement, nor was his most passionate subject, Mexican Americans, much of a factor in compensatory education thinking. And this was most unfortunate. No one captured more forcefully the tension between liberal sympathy to offer special schooling to Mexican Americans and how such innovative educational programs maintained and perpetuated the widespread practice of racial segregation. I focus on several discrete, illustrative episodes of Sįnchez's life and activism over a three-decade period: first, Sįnchez's New Deal-era idealism from the late 1930s and early 1940s in which he used stricter sociological definitions of Mexican American culture as deficient and in need of government action; second, his efforts of the 1940s and 1950s to desegregate public schools in Texas and the Southwest on behalf of the nascent Mexican American civil rights movement; third, his support for bilingual education in the 1960s for reasons of civic and political equality, but not from the perspective of sociolinguistic theory; and finally, Sįnchez's surprisingly persistent and pugnacious opposition throughout the 1960s to a preschool compensatory program that originated from within the Mexican American community. These four phases of Sanchez's career illustrate the degree to which Sįnchez wrestled with, and even predicted, some key points of later criticism of the entire compensatory education intellectual project. These aspects of Sanchez's work also document just how invisible Mexican American struggles were to national intellectual and policy circles. But most of all, George I. Sįnchez recognized that the Mexican American people in the United States, his people, suffered greatly from a sad legacy of neglect. One of the central consistencies to his pedagogical thinking regardless of the decade was his willingness to call attention to that tragic legacy in the hopes of correcting it. This underlying principle to Sįnchez's life and work, as well as his sharp diagnosis of the leading educational theories of the day, makes his marginal, almost invisible position among compensatory education thinkers of the 1960s, who also sought to correct legacies of injustice, just as tragic. Educational thinkers today should know more about George I. Sįnchez as well as his perspectives on Mexican Americans, schools, and justice.

[Intro: Rick Ross]
It's time to take you to the other side
The side you gotta watch your A&E cable television for homie
But we live this shit
I'm not a star, well that's a lie
I seen a man raise his hand on the stand, he testified
Spoke on the homicides, amongst other things
Even shared my triple beam dreams
[Verse 1: Nas]
A project minded individual, criminal tactics
Us black kids born with birth defects, we hyperactive
Mentally sex-crazed, dysfunctional, they describe us
They liars, at the end of the day, we're fuckin' survivors
I remember watchin' Scarface the first time
Look at that big house, that Porsche paid for by crime
How could I sell this poison to my peoples, in my mind?
They dumb and destroy themselves is how I rationalize
In the bastardized nation, Magnum .45 carryin'
Where I'm from ain't far from Washington Heights to cop Aryan
A rookie boy, the cookie didn't make no profit
A stranger to the block, I damn near had to make them cop it
It only took a fiend to taste it once to say it's garbage
I brought it back to papi, ain't tryna take no losses
He focuses on my emotionless young dealer face, then pauses
He gives me powder, he has faith in Nas' ambitions to distribute coke
Had addictions to gold chains, Mercedes Benz hopes, but I'm again broke
This shit ain't cut for me, other dealers, they up their orders
Barely at 62s, they already up to quarters
They out there every day, some true hustlers for you
I'm at it half way, none of my customers are loyal
Picturin' pipin' out the seats of a Pathfinder
Powerful pursuit for pussy, cash, to flash diamonds
My junior high school class, wish I stayed there
Illegal entrepreneur, I got my grades there
Blamin' society, mad, it wasn't made fair
I would be Ivy League if America played fair
Poor excuse, and so I was
Throwin' rocks at the pen, just for the love
Before the evil, the secret life of G's
You seein' me blurry, triple beam dreams
[Hook: Rick Ross]
Pocket full of money, parkin' lot full of them haters
Triple beam dreamin', crib with 2 elevators
20 flat screens and got cameras every angle
Dope been comin' so you know the income major
Rule number 1: I can't do business with a stranger
Contract killers comin' when I feel endangered
Early 90s reminiscin' when I had a pager
Triple beam dreams: now Pat Riley my neighbor
[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
Fuck boy, talkin' out of turn nigga
In the court room, spreadin' like a germ nigga
25 on the line, them niggas droppin' dimes
Cooperation got them rednecks droppin' time
Khaki suits and some niggas go to actin' cute
We was all cool, stackin' in Acura coupes
More accurately, we acted as is if jackin' was cool
Snatchin' niggas out they shoes then wear jackets to school
Fuck boy, you caught up in my dream
Countin' cream on the cover of a magazine
I'm the source, got the plug with the uncut
Jay-Z Blue Magic nigga, what what
Brand new S Class with a meal ticket
Nigga cocaine white as Tommy Hilfiger
Ralph Lauren Blue Label as I'm gettin' high
Triple dream dreamin' as the cream multiples
Fuck boy, talkin' out of turn nigga
'Fore you sell dope, it's shit you gotta learn nigga
Home invasions, duct tape
Fornicatin', countin' money with a fuck face
Fuckin' bitches that be givin' up your whereabouts
Slow leaks, gotta air em out
Kill 'em all, Rolls Royce Ghost nigga, ball
Phantom drop head, shit I had to get em all
Niggas hate but they know they never get involved
Food on the plate, fuck em all, I could send my dog
Triple beam dreams, the ghetto's my reality
I'm from where your hustle determines your salary
Six figure family member, nigga forget about it
Low income housin', nigga tryna get up out it
I got a plan little nigga, just believe in me
Triple beam dreamin' with this thing in me
[Hook: Rick Ross]

Ross and Nas link up for "Triple Beam Dreams"—which was originally featured on Ross' Rich Forever mixtape. It later appeared on Ross' album God Forgives, I Don't with a slightly different beat.

In this thread I'm just gonna say my bit and hope everyone sees it.
Seriously guys, keep the off topic silly conversations in the off topic board. There's nothing wrong with having a little fun with our posts, but most of these discussion threads have been derailing incredibly fast. For metaguards who need to read through these to catch up on story/theories/miscellaneous details, this is seriously going to complicate the already taunting task of keeping up with all this information. I enjoy the goofiness we have as a team, but we need to TRY to keep some order in these threads, this includes the threads that are constantly being derailed in the character pages as well. Just keep that in mind when you want to make a bit of fun. Don't just flood a thread with witty remarks when there's nothing to contribute.

In my old Windows days, I would simply install the new release on top of the old one. If something went wrong, I used the "bear-and-grin philosophy. With Linux, I have been extra careful before updating the OS, but I guess that this was the time to test whether or not I could leap blindfolded into a new Mageia OS. So, here is the summary of my adventure:
|Mageia 3, here I go!!!
First impressions
I moved from a 32-bit architecture to the x86-64 architecture that the Live DVD includes. To make my life easier, I wiped out the root partition and left the home partition intact.
The DVD booted without a problem and, after asking me the regular questions (language to use, if I accepted the license, where to install), the process completed in about 16 minutes. I was prompted to add my root and user password and to reboot. Again, I chose to use GRUB and not GRUB2 because I am not confident with the latter quite yet.
The system booted picking up my other OSs without a problem. Then, Mageia 3 enabled the network and started downloading the common repositories. After this process, I saw my desktop. Although my wallpapers had been replaced by a solid black color, I simply located my favorite pictures and put them back on. My personal settings had been preserved (effects, configurations, icons, etc), so I was quite relieved.
With KDE 4.10.2, the system became noticeably faster. I tried to pinpoint the changes, but they were not so easy to spot for my untrained eye. However, I gradually noticed that menu translations were more consistent, that the "home" tag had been replaced by "START" under "PLACES", that all my other partitions were listed under "DEVICES" and that the "space available" mini bar that appeared below a connected USB device was gone and only the big bar at the foot of the Dolphin window stayed. I guess the duplicity was purged. The notification system seemed to have received a cleaning, too.
I also noticed some new software entries in the general menu. I decided to explore those later because I wanted to reinstall my favorite programs. Thus, I fired up MGG (oh, new graphics that match the start screen) and enabled some other repositories (backports, tainted).
Mageia 3 played MP3s out-the-box. Amarok impressed me with its performance this time! However, Mageia 3 got stuck on some .mp4, .flv, and .mpeg video files. I installed VLC (which took care of the video problems), audacious, and audacity. So far, Mageia 3 was performing as a great substitute for my Mageia 2 install. I saw myself as a version of Mario, the game character, jumping up and falling on top of mushrooms that could not stop me. But then...
Watch out, Mario! Here's the boss!
I installed Wine, the x86-64 version, that is. Some of my programs were not working...
What do you do then?
I mean, it's not that those Windows-based programs are absolutely required. However, they are convenient to have around.
So, I uninstalled the 64-bit version of Wine and got the 32-bit one instead. Problem solved, let's go on!
That was too easy...
Here's the REAL boss!
I must have an IME to type in Japanese. In Mageia 2, I gave up iBus because it messes up the Spanish tildes (accents) in LibreOffice. That was not a big deal because I had always used SCIM anyway.
In Mageia 3, iBus refused to display the Anthy Japanese IME regardless of what I did. It also changed my keyboard configuration from Spanish to English and, on top of that, the tildes in LibreOffice were a mess, as expected.
|"I'm going to be your opponent, Mario"
"OK, iBus is not an option," I thought. "Fine, let's install SCIM and forget about this problem".
And I installed SCIM only to find out that, after doing all I know to enable it, the IME simply refused to work properly. Again, Anthy was not showing...
There I was, with a great system that did everything I needed, except accepting Japanese input.
I was a little discouraged, but open MCC and, after a while, discovered that a package was missing: scim-anthy! Obviously, without it, I could never make SCIM work with Anthy.
I Googled "scim-anthy rpm x64" and landed on RPM pBone.net, where they were hosting a scim-anthy package built for PCLinuxOS. I downloaded it and, in a desperate move, I installed it to Mageia 3. MCC simply asked me to install Kasumi along. I accepted and MCC retrieved Kasumi from the Mageia repositories to do its thing. The computer did not blow up.
Not a confident Mario any longer, I opened LibreOffice and...Anthy was there!
With SCIM working, I filed a bug and, more at ease, finished adding up the remaining software that I need to work comfortably with my new Mageia 3 Desktop install.
Overall Balance
I got a good scare with the IME, but it's working now. Aside from that, everything seems to be performing right on cue. KDE is responding faster, Jovie and its text-to-voice service is working in multiple languages, and I haven't seen any major problem, like a crash or something.
I guess the leap of faith was worth it.
UPDATE (May 21, 7:33PM)
I also updated my laptop from Mageia 2 to Mageia 3. As with the desktop install, everything worked fine. However, despite I use the fix I described here to get Mageia 2 pick up the WPA2 wifi of the university, Mageia 3 simply refused to work with it for two hours. Then, the problem solved by itself (?!). I hope the rainstorm had something to do with it.

Let's take a hard look at the real record.
Today, we face the systematic mismanagement, a lack of foresight and a fundamental misunderstanding by a public authority- the MTA- of its responsibilities to provide equal service to all of its citizens, not just those who can rely solely on subways or rail.
Options include the use of $130 million in stimulus money allocated by the Federal Government; the "pay-as -you-go" millions given by the City Council; and the several other options offered by the State legislature which would have directed hundreds of millions of dollars for the agency.
Incomprehensibly and unacceptably, MTA chairman Jay Walder continually states that if given these monies he would not use them to restore service but to reduce its own self-inflicted capital budget gap.
Those who advocate the unsafe, unreliable and often illegal vans- including some misguided Queens politicians who have for some reason bought into the Mayor 'dollar van' concept- act as enablers of the MTA screw-the-public approach to transit.
They fail to recognize or remain ignorant of how the commuter van industry continues to operate inherently unregulated, unreliably and unsafe with no guidelines. Don't take my word as gospel; travel to any location outside Manhattan, where thousands of these vehicles operate around the law and see it for yourself.
The vans operate out of control and beyond reasonable enforcement. They fail to provide the safe professional trained and certified service the public gets when they ride NYCTA bused operated and maintained in Queens (and Staten Island) by the ATU (TWU Local 100 members serve Brooklyn, Manhattan and The Bronx).
Equally as important, these vans provide no access or service to the majority of the riding public. These vans offer no accessibility to the disabled- a requirement and obligation for NYCTA buses. Vans negate the million of dollar in subsides budgeted to restore school passes as vans deny free MetroCard access to students and seniors alike unless they pay full fare.
These vans not only recreate the two-fare zone- an unfair tax Queens residents suffered for decades, but impose two-fare bus zones as riders can not get free transfers from vans to buses or vice-versa. Moreover, until City Hall's latest van scheme, these same vans were considered illegal, unsafe and continuously issued summons by the NYPD.
Public transportation is not a luxury. It is the MTA's responsibility to provide a service, equally, to all its citizens. Therefore the only reasonable action to be taken towards this misguided notion is to abandon the idea of commuter vans and for our elected officials to force the MTA to excise its options and restore the bus service to the people.

Model Description and Implementation
The Georgi-Machacek (GM) model was proposed in 1985 [1] as a plausible scenario for EWSB with interesting collider signatures. In this model, the scalar sector of the Standard Model (SM) is extended by the addition of one complex and one real SU(2) triplet. The hypercharge assignments of the triplets allows for a custodial SU(2) symmetry to be imposed upon the scalar potential, so that rho=1 is preserved at tree level. This is desirable for SM extensions in light of constraints from electroweak precision data. The model has the following salient features that make it phenomenologically interesting:
- the hVV (and hhVV) coupling can be enhanced compared to the SM
- the presence of additional scalars (including doubly charged ones)
The GM model can thus be a useful benchmark for the study of Higgs properties as well as searches for additional scalars.
The doublet vev v\phi and the triplet vevs v_chi are constrained by v_phi2 + 8 v_chi2 = v_SM2 to ensure the model generates the measured W and Z boson masses. We parametrize the relative size of the vevs by tan \theta_H = 2\sqrt{2} v_chi/v_phi.
The scalars (apart form Goldstone bosons) in this model can be classified as two custodial SU(2) singlets, a triplet and a fiveplet. The two custodial singlets mix by an angle alpha to give eigenstates h and H, one of which is the 125 GeV Higgs.
We follow Ref. [2] to implement the most general scalar potential that conserves custodial SU(2). It is automatically CP-conserving. The parameters of the potential are denoted by mu2sq, mu3sq, lam1, lam2, lam3, lam4, lam5, M1coeff and M2coeff in the .fr file. We trade three of these to obtain the set of 9 external parameters (mh, Gf, tanth, lam2, lam3, lam4, lam5, M1coeff, M2coeff) in the .fr file that define the scalar potential.
The GM Lagrangian implementation is based on the SM implementation (SM. fr v 1.3). In addition to the scalar potential, we modify all the relevant SM Lagrangian terms that change in the GM model (e.g.: Scalar Kinetic Terms, Yukawa couplings).
We also provide the CalcHEP and MG5 model folders generated from the .fr file. In the case of MG5, event generation can be simplified by using the program GMCALC to generate a param_card.dat file. (Note that the widths of t, W+, h and additional scalars should be updated in MG5 using the compute_widths option.)

How to write in Hebrew or Arabic using Yudit
Subject description: Tutorial to help Localization Projects
Type in Hebrew or Arabic using Yudit
I have written this tutorial in the hope that it will aid in localization
of Puppy projects into Hebrew and Arabic.
There are four free bidirectional text programs available for linux OS,
Abiword,open office,Katoob, and Yudit. Katoob is an abandoned project.
Abiword claims that it is a bidirectional word processor
but it only has only limited abilities.
See picture of Abiword. click to enlarge.
Worst of all, when it saves
a text file with directional info, other programs can't open it
properly. Oddly sometimes Abiword can't even open up it's own text files
properly when there is complex bidirectional info inside. On the other hand, Yudit text files
are opened correctly by other text editors* and is a mature program
that is still being supported.
So I will explain how to type in Hebrew or Arabic using the free
text editor 'Yudit'.
It can be downloaded
or a new version compiled in precise
and here is a website explaining its use
Here is a picture of Yudit using
Hebrew and Arabic to give you an idea of what is possible.
This tutorial is divided into two parts. First of all the simple introduction,
then the second part will demonstrate the advanced features.
This tutorial is entirely in English because I don't understand a word of
Hebrew or Arabic ...but since no one else will write a tutorial on the topic, it is
left to me to fill the void.
You see that Yudit uses a black background for better visibility.
Ordinarily Yudit uses green characters and the typing is right to left
as you would expect.
In this tutorial I will follow the following color scheme:
green--------------->English i.e. European writing
red----------------->insertion mark(usually an arrowhead, (solid or open)
yellow--------------> Hebrew or Arabic writing
blue---------------->carriage return and punctuation
orange-------------->the color of numbers
...and I will always be typing left to right except when entering
a green English word....but more on that later.
When Yudit is first opened with a blank document the insertion
mark is, as expected, on the left side of document and the arrow
is pointing to the right.
However we want the insertion mark to be situated on the
right side of document and to have an arrowhead pointing to the left.
Here is our procedure:
We click twice on the icon named 'Document Text Embedding'. (It would be
more descriptive if the icon (or button) was labeled 'Alignment Tool').
This switches the side of document that the text is aligned to.
Step 1: Click on 'Embedding override' icon (Note that it is in center of
3 green icons)
Step 2: Press <SPACEBAR> to start the text entering process
Step 3: Now click on 'Direction Override' icon.(It is to the left
of previous green icon)
Here is two pictures to help you find these icons.
The arrowhead is now pointing left (and solid red). You can now start typing
Hebrew or Arabic. These will be in yellow characters.
The arrow will now be pointing to the left. I will type the English phrase
'Here is my text.' and you will have to imagine that
it is in Hebrew or Arabic. Note the way this phrase appears on the screen.
Weird,yes,but this is how Hebrew and Arabic works. Think of it a backwards text.
See picture.
Text wrapping should be 'ON' as default, so you can now type a long paragraph
and see it entirely on the screen while you type.
The pictures show the icons to click.
The icons are labeled thanks to 'Tooltips' .
At the end of your paragraph press <ENTER> and you can continue a new paragraph,
however you must start at step 1 again for this new paragraph.
Further editing is possible such as getting rid of unwanted spaces
by pressing <BACKSPACE>
When editing inside a word, the arrowhead opens up but it is still red.
Entering a number is easy.
Inserting European characters and words is very common and useful, for instance
technical documents always need a few English words to describe an action.
I will describe the simplest method I have found.
I suggest leaving a small empty space and once the paragraph is written, add in
the English words.
Step 1: click inside the empty space once,
Step 2: then click the center icon (i.e. Embedding override)
Step 3: Type in the English word. (Note how the insertion arrow now
points to the right and the text color is now green). Directional flow of
text has now reversed. See picture.
To end the editing process click under paragraph. Press <ENTER>
to start a new paragraph underneath the previous one.
If you do anything wrong there is always the undo icon to click.
You can remove some text by selecting it first, then press <BACKSPACE>.
Note that Ctrl-z increases font size
Practice Practice Practice and it will become second nature.
To remember this procedure I have memorized the phrase
center Space Left
referring to the center green icon ,the spacebar, then the icon to the left
of the center icon.
double click selects the word
a triple click selects the entire sentence
ctrl-m deletes the whole line
When Yudit opens it's own text files, it aligns the text to the left of page
but the directional flow of text has been preserved. See picture.
Press on 'Document text embedding' to switch sides.
Note that numbers can be typed as well but they will be the color orange.
If you are using Lucid Puppy 5.1 make sure that you install the fonts for Hebrew
and Arabic that are available from forum.
...and here is a picture of Hebrew mixed with English words constructed in
Yudit and opened in Geany
* I recommend that you avoid starting a paragraph with a <TAB>, use blank spaces instead.
Geany will become confused as to text direction if a paragraph begins with a tab.
Nicoedit despite being a simpler program does not have any problems displaying Yudit text
with a tab.
This picture shows what happens when Geany tries to open a Yudit text file
with a <Tab>
The following picture shows that Nicoedit and Mousepad will
properly display a Yudit file
Nicoedit will further edit the directional text whereas Geany is not
capable of this.

Post subject: localization project
Here is a typical localization problem requiring English to be translated into French.
Here is the final translation(taken from real project)
#browser installer
export LOC_001="Welcome to the"
export LOC_002="Please connect to the Internet and then Choose a Browser."
export LOC_003="Note"
export LOC_004="If you have less than 256 MB of RAM it is recommended you create a save file before installing a browser."
export LOC_005="Generic Browser -installed"
export LOC_006="Click to install Firefox"
export LOC_007="Click to install Seamonkey"
export LOC_008="Click to install Chromium"
export LOC_009="Click to install Opera"
export LOC_010="Click to make the generic browser the default browser, it is already on your system"
#browser installer
export LOC_001="Bienvenue dans"
export LOC_002="Connectez-vous à Internet et choisir un navigateur."
export LOC_003="Note"
export LOC_004="Avec moins de 254MB de RAM il est recommandé de créer une sauvegarde avant d'installer un Navigateur."
export LOC_005="Navigateur d'origine déja installé"
export LOC_006="Cliquer pour installer Firefox"
export LOC_007="Cliquer pour installer Seamonkey"
export LOC_008="Cliquer pour installer Chromium"
export LOC_009=" Cliquer pour installer Opera"
export LOC_010="Faire du Navigateur d'origine son navigateur par défaut. Il est déja installé"
Note that some technical English words need to be used. The flow of the text is
always toward the right because French is a European language..
The problem of localizing for the Arabic language does add some complexity but can easily be
solved with Yudit. I've divide up the problem into steps using Yudit.
Step 1: Remove English words between quotes. See picture.
Step 2: Write in Arabic or Hebrew between the quotes.
Step 3: Add in English technical words. See picture.
Step 4: Send as a text file back to developer.
The trick to doing Step 2 is to click on 'Embedding Override' followed by
clicking on 'Direction Override'. The arrow will now point to left and the text that
you enter will be yellow i.e. Arabic or Hebrew.
The trick to Step 3 is to click once on 'Embedding Override', then type the
English word. This is the same method as described in the first post.
Here is a sample of the finished localization project as the developer will see it.
(Hopefully your browser will display Arabic characters.)
#browser installer
export LOC_001="Welcome to the"
export LOC_002="Please connect to the Internet and then Choose a Browser."
export LOC_003="Note"
export LOC_004="If you have less than 256 MB of RAM it is recommended you create a save file before installing a browser."
export LOC_005="Generic Browser -installed"
export LOC_006="Click to install Firefox"
export LOC_007="Click to install Seamonkey"
export LOC_008="Click to install Chromium"
export LOC_009="Click to install Opera"
export LOC_010="Click to make the generic browser the default browser, it is already on your system"
#browser installer
export LOC_001="وإنما الرقة English فهي عنوانه"
export LOC_002="ولكن يا ريتها تتكلم اللغة العربية"
export LOC_003="رأيتها وكانت Puppy Linux كالفراشة"
export LOC_004="ولكن يا ريتها تتكلم اللغة العربية"
export LOC_005="باهية الألوان"
export LOC_006="باهية الألوان"
export LOC_007="رأيتها وكانت Computer كالفراشة"
export LOC_009="ولكن يا ريتها تتكلم اللغة العربية"
export LOC_010="رأيتها وكانت كالفراشة"
So no more excuses that apps can't be localized into Hebrew or Arabic!

I've been testing yudit again to see if it can be used for Arabic.
yudit definitely writes in Arabic!!!
I installed the pet package in precise.
Opening a new document in Yudit is hard for some reason.
My solution... ----> I used Rox Filer to create a blank doument in /root,
then I open it with yudit.
I clicked the arrowhead in the window to set it up for
'Arabic' and started writing. The direction of the writing was
right to left which surprised me.
You should be able to take these characters and transfer them to Poedit
or geany for gettext translations.

Opening a new document in Yudit is working fine with me (using precise-5.6.1)
just one thing the keyboard map seems wrong to me or at least to the keyboard i'm using.

No locale support on this machine.
I always use American keyboard layout and dejavu font is installed.
It then shows most of the characters of the foreign languages
(except Asian).
Note to Arabic users
I've been reading through the manual for yudit.
Here's a couple of things I've learned
1) A hard space (or non-breaking space) can be entered
by choosing 'unicode' then typing u00A0
The unicode hexidecimal number for the current character
is printed along the bottom of window.
2) There is an embed icon on the top row of window that effects the
direction as well.
3) The keyboard mapping can be modified. The instructions are
in the manual. So it would be possible for you to print out to screen
an Arabic character that ordinarily wouldn't show.

I compiled the newest version of yudit 2.9.3
in precise. This stops the error complaint when launching
with the terminal, but I don't see much difference.
But it's best to use it. I posted it in first post above or
here it is again.

By JEFF PICKELL
Yesterday, my brother Jamie and I spent an hour or so picking up big sticks around my parents' house. In the olden days, we were usually required to pick up both big and little sticks, but now my dad has this fancy brusher thing that he attaches to the riding lawn mower. It allows him to pick up little sticks with the greatest of ease.
Since I've lived in either a dormitory or an apartment for the last six years, I haven't had much chance to whine about having to do yard work. With the exception of my two-summer engagement as a maintenance worker for the DNR, I can actually say my last half-decade has been pretty yard work free.
I should note, however, that I did live in a house my senior year of college, but neither I, nor my roommates, did anything remotely related to yard upkeep there. We'd schedule occasional parties during which mobs of 20-somethings would trample down our weedy patch of lawn, but not even I have the gall to call that "work."
I pondered this dearth of yard work during my drive back to Morenci this Monday, and wondered whether it has contributed to the streak of insomnia I've suffered recently.
Classically, I think of insomnia as the inability to fall asleep, so I tend to consider my affliction as "reverse insomnia," or the inability to stay asleep. I have no difficulty nodding off—sometimes collapsing as early as 7 or 8 p.m.—but there is a real trouble in staying asleep past 3 a.m.
In the beginning, I attributed this to "being a grown-up" which is often defined as "going to bed at a sensible hour so you have time to read the news before going to work." But I figured something might be up when I found myself watching not one, but two installments of "The Godfather" before plunking down to the office.
I knew there was something odd going on last weekend when my friends revealed that they had scheduled their St. Patrick's Day festivities around the assumption that I would head home to bed before 9 p.m.
"Have I really become that lame?" I thought.
True, I'm not a college party animal anymore. I don't go to bed at 4 a.m. and wake up some time in the afternoon and I prefer to spend most of my waking hours in the daylight, but there is no good reason why I should be exhausted so early and unable to sleep past the wee hours.
Last night, my dad and I watched "Wuthering Heights"—the version with Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier and David Niven—and he just wouldn't shut up about how much work he got done. (And by "he," I mean my dad. Nobody seems to do much of anything in "Wuthering Heights" except be dramatic, and, in the case of Merle Oberon, die of pneumonia).
I have to admit, his list of accomplishments was impressive. He got up at seven, made a smoothie, watched a terrible John Wayne movie, went for a six-mile walk with my mom and Darla the dog, got the lawnmower running, picked up sticks, cleaned out the garage, fed the birds, fed the deer, made a salsa dip from leftover pot roast, cooked an asparagus and chicken dinner, watched "Wuthering Heights," and read from a biography of Abraham Lincoln before falling asleep and snoring loudly enough to keep his son up.
My day, on the other hand contained essentially no physical exertion, or exertion of any kind, so it's no wonder my strapping young body didn't require any more than four or five hours of sleep. That's what I assumed, at least, while I tossed and turned from 3 to 6 a.m. Monday trying to catch some Zs.
I should spend more time mowing the lawn, or peddling the exercise bike, or just being productive in general—anything that will help me get a good night's sleep so I'm not awake at 4 a.m. and exhausted at dusk.
I've already got a few things planned. The trail along Bean Creek can use some foot traffic and it's always fun to walk over to Silver Creek and gaze at the water gurgling over the rocks. And there's cleaning to be done; there's definitely enough cleaning to go around. I'm also mid-way through an epic struggle to gather all the clothes and doodads I don't use anymore to donate to Goodwill.
And then there's my unfinished novella "Pie-master" which is begging to be cranked out.
I really just have to stop being such a slug.
"No duh," says my brain.
No duh, indeed. If only real life were so simple.– March 21, 2007

Concerns form
Please complete the form below and someone will get back to you as soon as they can. Thank you.
Your personal details
We would like to thank you for the splendid work you did for us when fitting our new patio door, garage door and replacement windows. We would always recommend your company.
The fitter was excellent he was very polite and his attention to detail was second to none. He made no mess and was very tidy with his tools etc. From the quote to installation the service was excellent. I would recommend to use Kindlelight again.
First of all, I wanted to reach out to you to let you know how delighted I am with the work your company has carried out to date on my house. The window installation done by Wayne and his team has been extremely professional and completed to the highest standard. Additionally the fascias, soffits and guttering work, completed by Darren and his team has been to an equally professional and high standard. Your team are always polite and helpful, I genuinely couldn\'t have asked for a better team and company to work with. So thank you very much.
We are very grateful and extremely impressed with your wonderful and efficient service
We are pleased to be able to write to you and to say how delighted we are with the work carried out to our house .
The soffits and fascias were installed very efficiently and professionally and have improved the appearance of the house greatly. The workers were very clean and tidy who got on with the job with the minimum of fuss and were pleasant and good humoured throughout. It was a pleasure to have them around. Should we need any more work doing, we will certainly call on you.
So many people are quick to complain, but not so quick to say thank you and trust me, we are so thankful for what you guys have produced.
From start to finish of this project, we have had nothing but professionalism, dedication and incredibly hard working guys here each and every day.
Our home was treated like a home and not a building site, Gary, Ian and Dave were outstandingly polite, punctual and tidy and I truly couldn\'t have asked for more.
The small snags we encountered along the way were dealt with at speed and again courteously.
The finished conservatory is so much more than we could of possibly imagined and it still blows our minds, Kindlelight made that happen and we can\'t thank you enough.
The quality of all the materials used exceeded our expectations and compared to other companies within the same arena, there is no comparison.
Finally, a special mention has to go to Ian, whom has worked tirelessly throughout this build. He is a credit to the company in so many ways. His work ethic is unparalleled and his attention to detail is a rare find these days. He is undoubtedly a lovely guy and has made this whole experience a pleasure.
I would like to take this opportunity of telling you how pleased I was with the fitter, Dave, who was very pleasant and hardworking. I am also happy with the windows which look very nice.
I would like to say a big thank you to Kindlelight for replacing our back door under warranty. The door had warped and was quite draughty. Steve, your fitter, did a great job at the initial inspection and fitting the new door. A friendly and experienced fitter. And Mia did a great job in keeping us informed of the progress of the door and booking appointments etc.
The service engineer was very courteous, friendly and credit to your company.
The young men who carried out my work were polite, clean and tidy. They made the whole experience painless.
The fitters did an excellent job, they were very tidy. I have already recommended 2 friends!
the windows look really good and we noticed a difference immediately.

Pacific standard time
The Pacific Time Zone observes standard time by subtracting eight hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−8). The clock time in this zone is based on the mean solar time of the 120th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory. During daylight saving time, its time offset is UTC−7 and is thus based on the mean solar time of the 105th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory.
In the United States and Canada, this time zone is generically called the Pacific Time Zone (PTZ). Specifically, it uses Pacific Standard Time (PST) - Pacific Time (PT) - when observing standard time (mid-fall through late winter), and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) - Mountain Time (MT) - when observing daylight saving time (late winter through mid-fall). Most of Canada uses daylight saving time. In Mexico the UTC−8 time zone is known as the Northwest Zone, which is synchronized with the U.S. PDT daylight saving schedule.
The largest city in the Pacific Time Zone is Los Angeles in California from USA; the city's metropolitan area is the largest in the zone.
The zone is one hour ahead of the Alaska Time Zone, one hour behind the Mountain Time Zone and three hours behind the Eastern Time Zone.
United States
The following states or areas are part of the Pacific Time Zone:
- California - all.
- Washington - all.
- Oregon – all, except for most of Malheur County, on the Idaho border (the dividing line goes through the southwest corner of township 35 S, range 37 E, and lies at a latitude of approximately 42.4507448 N).
- Nevada – all, except for the border town of West Wendover (near Utah), which observes the Mountain Time Zone. Also, the border town of Jackpot (near Idaho) unofficially observes Mountain Time.
- Idaho – northern half, north of the Salmon River.
Most of Arizona lies in the Mountain Time Zone but does not observe daylight saving time. As a result of not observing daylight saving time, most of the state observes Mountain Standard Time (which is in line with Pacific Daylight Time) during the spring, summer and autumn months.[1] The Navajo Nation, most of which lies within Arizona, does observe daylight saving time, although the Hopi Nation, as well as some Arizona state offices lying within the Navajo Nation, do not.
The town of Hyder, Alaska is officially in the Alaska Time Zone, but most of the town uses the Pacific Time Zone since much of its community is dependent on nearby Stewart, British Columbia, which is in the Pacific Time Zone. The United States Post Office in Hyder strictly adheres to Alaska Time.
In Canada, Pacific Time includes almost all of the province of British Columbia (except for the Highway 95 corridor and portions around Tumbler Ridge, Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, Golden and Creston), all of Yukon and Tungsten, Northwest Territories.
In Mexico, the state of Baja California is completely within and the only part of Mexico in the Pacific time zone. The westernmost of the Revillagigedo Islands, Clarion Island (in the state of Colima), observes mountain standard time.
Daylight time
Through 2006, the local time (PST, UTC−8) changed to daylight time (PDT, UTC−7) at 02:00 LST (local standard time) to 03:00 LDT (local daylight time) on the first Sunday in April, and returned at 02:00 LDT to 01:00 LST on the last Sunday in October.
Effective in the US in 2007 as a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the local time changes from PST to PDT at 02:00 LST to 03:00 LDT on the second Sunday in March and the time returns at 02:00 LDT to 01:00 LST on the first Sunday in November. Canada would also acknowledge this change. In Mexico, beginning in 2010, the portion of the country in this time zone uses the extended dates, as do some other parts. The vast majority of Mexico, however, still uses the old dates.
