A sweet little girl joined our family Tuesday late afternoon. #babyS is #babyB's sister. We have know since June about this and we said we would care for her too if the need arose.
#babyS was born on Saturday 12/5/2015.
A little peanut at 6 lb 2 oz and 17.5"
And just like that we have FOUR kids under 5 years old.
Sibling Love
Our sweet new ride.
Since #babyB & #babyS are less than 15 months apart, I really needed something I could put them both in when we go out. Let's be real, if I didn't get one, we weren't going out. Last night, we found this for a steal at a local resale shop.

AWS: Obtain BlendedCost billing data
There may be a case when you might want to use Get-CECostAndUsage Cmdlet, however I thought it might be helpful to document some examples. The AWS documentation doesn't display any example. Below is my attempt to come up with some examples, which I found useful for me, may be someone else does too.
Running the Cmdlet without any parameters, doesn't reveal what we are looking for, so I checked the command reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/latest/reference/items/Get-CECostAndUsage.html. None of the parameters appear to be mandatory, still I got this error without any parameters:
"Time period is required"
I guessed period is DateInterval, so went ahead and created it for sample, but hit another parameter required error:
"Granularity can only be MONTHLY or DAILY"
I made sure again I provided Granularity, trying DAILY and hit another parameter 'metric' missing:
"Selected metrics cannot be null"
Valid values for metric are BlendedCost, UnblendedCost, UsageQuantity, NormalizedUsageAmount, AmortizedCost. I tried one of them and hit another error:
Sounds good so far, I had to enable cost explorer access to my user. So now I activated IAM user/role access to billing information https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/grantaccess.html to grant my IAM user access to billing info. And here is the result:
I'm sure heading somewhere. After expanding the ResultsByTime object, I could eventually land to a result I was looking for that looked similar to the Cost Management Dashboard on the AWS console
Here is from the AWS web console billing home:
So, here is what I added to a script, so I get to know the cost for current month right away:
Please note, accessing Cost Explorer APIs are chargeable.

Glaucoma is an acquired progressive optic neuropathy which is characterized by changes in the optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). White-on-white perimetry is the gold standard for the diagnosis of glaucoma. However, it can detect defects in the visual field only after the loss of as many as 40% of the ganglion cells. Hence, the measurement of RNFL thickness has come up. Optical coherence tomography and scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) are the techniques that utilize the evaluation of RNFL for the evaluation of glaucoma. SLP provides RNFL thickness measurements based upon the birefringence of the retinal ganglion cell axons. We have reviewed the published literature on the use of SLP in glaucoma. This review elucidates the technological principles, recent developments and the role of SLP in the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, in the light of scientific evidence so far.

I was on a fact-finding mission here in Washington, D.C., to see what was happening at EPA, where I'd started my career as an environmental lawyer. I wondered how much damage was being done to the air, the water, and the land by the agency that is now attacking itself like a disordered immune system.
My friend, Susan (not her real name) has worked at EPA through the last four administrations. We were drinking iced tea in a café near EPA headquarters on a summer afternoon.
She leaned forward and said, "Every week, you see these guys with their bolo ties and their suits walking over from the Trump Hotel across the street. They're here to tell [EPA Administrator Scott] Pruitt what they want – and they get it. A lot of them are his buddies from the oil and gas industry."
Another friend, "Michael," who also spoke confidentially in order to convey candid criticisms, said over lunch, "You can't sugar coat what's happening here. It's even worse than it seems."
What exactly is happening? And how were my friends doing in the midst of the deregulatory frenzy and the brazen corruption at the top?
A used Trump Hotel mattress, Ritz-Carlton moisturizing cream, and a Chick-fil-A job
"He's totally corrupt," Susan said. "Just scum, like a little Napoleon. His staff is there to run personal errands for him."
Indeed, Pruitt uses his staff much the way private executives use their special assistants. But executives in the private sector are using their own funds. When Pruitt's staff runs errands for him, or tries to find a job for his wife, we taxpayers foot the bill.
In a little over a year, Pruitt has installed a $43,000 soundproof phone booth in his office, sent staffers to get him a used Trump Hotel mattress and Ritz-Carlton Hotel moisturizing lotion, and insisted on flying first class – even when the cost of first-class from D.C. to New York is $1,600 – about six times what coach costs.
He also spent $120,000 on a two-week trip to Italy last year. And, according to the Washington Post, U.S. taxpayers paid for a trip to Morocco for $17,600.
He tried to use his power to get his wife a Chick-fil-A franchise, tells his driver to use the flashing lights and sirens to cut a path through the D.C. traffic to get to restaurants fast, and has spent $3.5 millions of taxpayer money – which would fund a lot of environmental protection – for his 24/7 security detail in the last year.
He also rented a condo for $50 per night from an energy lobbyist whose clients are affected by EPA decisions. Such a deal – far below normal rental prices in D.C. — is likely prohibited by the EPA's conflict-of-interest rules.
This misuse of public funds has not gone unnoticed. In April, soon after the Government Accountability Office found that the secure phone booth and other items were illegal, the House Energy and Commerce Committee held hearings, quizzing Pruitt about his spending spree.
"Your conduct as administrator has demonstrated a lack of respect for American taxpayers," said Rep. Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.). "You were never fit for this job."
The GAO found that the phone booth violated the $5,000 cap on office renovations and decoration that government officials are held to. Even odder, there were already two secure phone booths at the EPA. Asked by Representative Peter Welch (D-Vt.) why he hadn't used one of them, Pruitt said, "They aren't close to my office."
In fact, Pruitt seems never to venture far from his office. Susan said, "I'm half a hallway down from Pruitt's office on the third floor, and I've never even seen him. His office door is always shut and the security guard sits outside guarding him."
When the Chick-fil-A news broke, a group of U.S. Representatives sent a letter to the FBI and the Department of Justice asking that a criminal investigation of Pruitt's conduct be opened.
Representative Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) explained on his web site, "This week's revelation that Administrator Pruitt used his public office – including both his position and EPA staff – to attempt to get his wife a Chick-fil-A franchise is the latest in a string of unethical spending and management decisions that have given rise to twelve federal investigations."
Still, although he has barricaded himself in a hostile agency, and is fending off calls for his resignation from many Democrats and a few Republicans, he has the approval of his boss. President Trump dismissed the corruption allegations, saying, "Scott Pruitt is doing a great job within the walls of the EPA."
Trump and Pruitt attack regs, funding and staff
And what does a "great job" mean? The main goal, from the point of view of the President and his EPA Administrator, is to get the regulatory burden off the backs of industry. To that end, Trump signed Executive Order 13,771. This requires that a government agency putting into effect a new regulation must eliminate two older regulations.
Although most agencies have rescinded one or two regulations, EPA is in the process of eliminating 16. This figure doesn't take into account the guidance and memoranda directives that are also being axed. No wonder President Trump is pleased with Pruitt.
The agency's funding is precarious, too. President Trump's proposed Fiscal Year 2019 budget for EPA reduced funding by a whopping 23 percent. Congress rejected this reduction last March, however, leaving funding levels essentially unchanged for now. Trump had proposed $5.65 billion, while Congress allocated the same $8.05 billion that EPA had for 2018.
Despite unchanged levels of funding, EPA is seeing steady reductions in personnel. Data from the Office of Personnel Management indicates that EPA staff has now dropped to 14,172, the lowest levels since the Reagan Administration. Staffers who have reached retirement age are speeding up their departure. Some are taking buy-outs.
Other, younger workers leave because they are demoralized. Kate, a young scientist from Virginia, told National Public Radio about her experience at EPA in a June 8 program. She said, "I was not allowed to do any of the field work I was hired to do, so I eventually quit."
Sometimes the attacks on EPA staff are more direct. Michael described a meeting with Pruitt, a few other EPA staff, and members of an industry group. "Pruitt dressed us down – without knowing or understanding the facts at all – in front of the industry people. He was showing off for them," he said dryly.
"I was here under Reagan and Bush [George W.] and I've never been through anything like this," he added.
My friend Susan said, "Everyone here has a sense of urgency to get things done while they can."
For attorneys and many analysts, work will gradually grind to a halt when new enforcement cases against industry polluters are no longer filed. "The enforcement cases in the pipeline are drying up," Susan said.
Failing to enforce existing laws, eliminating regulations, cutting off the work of monitoring the water and air, buying out some employees, and harassing others – all are taking a huge toll on EPA. And things may get much worse if the budget is slashed, as the President wants.
Guidance that industry complained about is being torn up
"The corruption is a distraction from the policy changes – the real scandals are what's happening to the air, water and land, and not Pruitt's running around D.C. to look for the right hand cream," said Ed. Now retired, Ed had been an attorney in an EPA regional office. He continues to work on an occasional basis for EPA and cannot use his real name.
Three of the five people I spoke with made the point that it is much easier for EPA to change policy or guidance rather than a regulation.
Regulations fill in the gaps and missing details needed to actually implement and enforce laws. First passed in 1970 and amended in 1990, the Clean Air Act, the author's EPA specialty, is the environmental statute that has both the biggest impact on human health and the biggest price tag for industry.
Congress enacted provisions in the Act designed to reduce pollutants and focused on both industry and motor vehicles, but it left the details to EPA. When EPA promulgates regulations that fill in the missing details and requirements that implement Congress' intent, they must follow procedures for rulemaking in the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).
The APA requires a proposed rule, a lengthy opportunity for the public to comment on the proposal, public hearings, and review by the Office of Management and Budget before it can be finalized.
As Susan said, "The APA is slow, but it's inclusive and it's hard to reverse."
On the other hand, if an EPA Administrator writes a guidance letter establishing a certain practice, the next Administrator can rip it up and write his or her new guidance.
And Scott Pruitt has indeed been ripping up the prior administrations' guidance.
About 75 pollutants are specially categorized as Hazardous Air Pollutants because they are known to cause cancer or other serious health effects. They include cyanide, mercury and nickel compounds, chloroform, hydrochloric acid, and benzene.
In 1995, EPA released a memorandum saying that industrial manufacturers or refineries or power plants that released above a certain amount of these hazardous pollutants (10 tons per year of one, or 25 tons per year of different ones combined) had to install equipment to control these emissions or take other steps to reduce them in accord with what's called Maximum Achievable Control Treatment (MACT).
And, if the manufacturer or other polluter reduced their hazardous emissions to below the 10/25 levels, they still had to keep on the equipment or take the other control measures.
This was called "Once in, Always in" policy. Now it's been torn up and replaced.
Once a manufacturer or refinery or power plant reduces its emissions to the 10/25 level or below, it has no need to do anything except stay below the thresholds. It can remove the equipment that controlled the hazardous emissions, or stop following the practices that controlled them – whatever the MACT was, they don't need to comply with it any more.
So people who live near facilities that emit carcinogens or other hazardous pollutants are likely to be breathing more of them than before the policy change. The threshold amounts are now the standards, so a facility that used to have controls that brought benzene, for instance, down to one ton per year is now free to emit 10, and the facility that emitted 2 or 3 tons of several hazardous pollutants can go up to 25. And in the current deregulatory environment, there will almost certainly be less enforcement of these – and all – limits and standards anyway.
God wants humans to use natural gas and oil, not 'keep it in the ground'
Pruitt, who served as a deacon at First Baptist Church in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, believes that God commands humans to use what God has provided, according to the Baptist News Global publication. Unencumbered by worries about global warming, he enthusiastically embraces fossil fuels.
In fact, if there is a unifying theme around the air-related deregulatory actions that are being undertaken by EPA, it is that burning fossil fuels is good for the economy, and that global warming is not well understood, may not be caused by humans, and that attempting to control greenhouses gas emissions is bad for business.
Since becoming EPA Administrator, Pruitt has advocated these measures, all of which increase the exploration for or burning of oil and gas:
- Drilling for oil and gas in the Alaska National Wildlife Reserve
- Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord
- Staying Some Clean Air Act emission standards for oil and gas development
- Offshore drilling for oil and gas
- Rolling back fuel economy rules established by former President Obama requiring passenger vehicles to average 50 miles per gallon by 2025
- Repealing the Glider Truck Rule, which had imposed emissions standards on high-polluting diesel trucks that pair old engines having no pollution controls with new chassis
- Repeal of the Clean Power Plan, which required reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by power plants nationwide
None of these pro-fossil fuel regulatory moves will go unchallenged. For example, the Clean Power Plan (CPP) was former President Obama's marquee effort to comply with United States' greenhouse gas emissions reduction commitments in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. It called for power plants to cut their carbon emissions roughly 32 percent by 2030. Rivaled only by motor vehicles, power plants are still the greatest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the country.
Under the CPP, states were tasked with the job of reducing carbon dioxide from their particular mix of power plants. Coal-burning power plants produce the most carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and it seemed likely that some of the country's remaining 400 coal-fired power plants would close.
Then along came Trump and Pruitt. In March 2017, President Trump signed an Executive Order to dismantle the 2015 Clean Power Plan, thereby giving Administrator Pruitt the go-ahead to repeal it. Trump stated, "We're ending the theft of American prosperity."
When EPA proposed to repeal the Clean Power Plan, the public filed more than 4.3 million comments by the April 28, 2018 deadline.
The powerhouse Silicon Valley companies, Apple and Google, joined millions in commenting that there is, in Google's words "a strong economic case for the Clean Power Plan." According to the online publication, Verge, Google emphasized that the plan would encourage utilities and companies like Google to keep investing in renewable energy — which Google says is getting cheaper, is desired by both consumers and investors, and is a good source of jobs.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics firmly supports this conclusion. Data from 2017 shows that the two fastest-growing job categories are "solar voltaic installers" and "wind turbine service technicians."
Google also believes that curbing global warming "is an urgent global priority that requires robust federal policy engagement and strong action from the business community," its filing says.
In light of the opposition and the trend of the country away from coal, it is extremely unlikely that EPA will be able to easily erase the Clean Power Plan. The Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that greenhouse gases were pollutants that should be regulated by EPA. So when Administrator Pruitt repeals the CPP, his safest legal course would be to replace it with something else that regulates greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. That will, as with the first CPP, take time, and is likely to result in considerable litigation and an uncertain outcome for EPA.
EPA's war on science
I spoke about the role of scientists in the current EPA with George Allen, a senior scientist at the Boston-based interagency association, New England States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM). George was a long-time member of EPA's Science Advisory Board-chartered Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC).
A superstar on the health effects of bad air, he was on the professional staff of the Harvard School of Public Health for 20 years, and has co-authored 30 publications on different aspects of air pollution and human health.
CASAC was mandated by the 1977 Amendments to the Clean Air Act. The Committee of scientists reviews the scientific bases for the national health-based standards for pollutants such as ozone, lead, and particulate matter.
George said, "There's been a total purge of CASAC. There will be no more pesky academics on it in this Administration."
"The new head of CASAC, Tony Cox, thinks that a little bit of pollution is good for you" George said. "And he thinks that ozone and particulate matter don't hurt you at all."
George told me that the Union of Concerned Scientists and one of the science advisors purged from CASAC had sued to reinstate her on CASAC and, more broadly, to stop EPA from continuing its anti-science agenda. Their complaint began with an eloquent summary of why science is important in a democracy,
"Science conducted by independent, unbiased scientists plays a critical role in a functioning democracy. It helps lawmakers identify policy priorities. It informs government agencies' actual adoption and implementation of policy. Perhaps most importantly, it provides evidence against which government action can be measured, and that the public can use to assess whether our leaders are doing their jobs. Anti-democratic governments, which thrive on obfuscating truth, seek to delegitimize and suppress scientists and other authoritative voices that offer accurate information that can be used to hold the government to account."
As for the larger advisory body of scientists, a 40-member group called the Science Advisory Board that advises on water and Superfund cleanup issues as well as air, George said, "They've stuffed it full of industry thugs."
One of the most alarming efforts to undermine science at the EPA is the repeated attempt by the National Association of Manufacturers and several Republican lawmakers to pass federal legislation requiring that all data underlying EPA rules be publicly available, and that all studies be reproducible. So far, the bills have not been enacted, but now Pruitt is apparently seeking to accomplish the same goals through a rulemaking.
On the face of it, scientific transparency and replicability sound reasonable. So I questioned George, and he said, "A lot of health data is acquired confidentially and is simply not available. So there can't be full transparency if privacy is protected. When I worked on the 'Six Cities' study [a seminal study of on the health effects of air pollution] at Harvard, the data we collected was confidential health data contained in medical records." Other data may be classified as 'confidential business information.'
"And." he added, "the bills require the studies to be reproducible, and it's not at all feasible financially or in any way to replicate hundreds of studies." So perfectly sound studies could be ignored and EPA could pursue their political agenda untethered from science.
On April 23, nearly 1,000 scientists sent Administrator Pruitt a letter urging him not to adopt restrictions on the use of scientific studies similar to those proposed in bills called "The Secret Science Reform Act" and "the HONEST Act." They wrote:
"Proponents for these radical restrictions purport to raise two sets of concerns: reproducibility and transparency. In reality, these are phony issues that weaponize 'transparency' to facilitate political interference in science-based decision-making…"Many public health studies cannot be replicated, as doing so would require intentionally and unethically exposing people and the environment to harmful contaminants or recreating one-time events (such as theDeepwater Horizonoil spill). …And requiring the release of all data… could actually compromise research, including intellectual property, proprietary, and privacy concerns."
And yet, can we expect EPA Administrator Pruitt to be sensitive to scientists' concerns when he is on record as saying in 2005, according to Politico, that "there aren't sufficient scientific facts to establish the theory of evolution."
When I asked Susan to identify the area of EPA that was most harmed by Pruitt, she said, without a pause, "Science is the hardest hit, and the science offices."
Waiting for a corrective Congress
All of the friends I spoke with are yearning for a blue wave in November to correct the current hostility to environmental protection.
During the early 80s, in the Reagan Administration, there was plenty of antipathy toward EPA. In fact, the Heritage Foundation had recommended that EPA be abolished.
But there was Congress. As Michael said, "There was oversight then. We had a Democratic House. We had John Dingell heading the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He'd convene hearings and subpoena witnesses. And we had Henry Waxman."
Indeed, the powerful House Committees were the enemies of agency mismanagement and undue industry influence. The House Public Works Committee ended up citing Ann Gorsuch [then head of EPA and Neil's mother] for contempt of Congress when she refused to produce documents to the Committee relating to a Superfund cleanup. She ended up resigning in 1983.
There is plenty that a strong Congress could do to turn things around.
Susan said, "I'm waiting until November to decide what to do, and whether I stay or leave."

Horse With Worms
What is the best remedy for a horse that has worms? I would like to
know, as I have a horse that is getting poor with this trouble.
Mix 1/2 pound pulverized and dried iron sulphate and 1/2 pound
bicarbonate of soda, and give one teaspoonful each morning until the
medicine is gone. After the last dose give the following: Turpentine, 2
ounces; fluid extract male fern, 1/2 ounce; Pearson's Creolins, 1 ounce;
raw linseed oil, 1 pint. Mix and give all at one dose. To improve the
general condition one may give artificial Carlsbad salts, 1
tablespoonful in each feed, and each dose to have added to it 3 to 5
grains arsenious acid. If plenty rock salt is allowed for horses to
lick, they will be protected against intestinal parasites to a slight
but useful degree.
Is It Mange?
We have a horse five years old that is always scratching and biting
himself as if he had mange or lice. He seems to itch more on his
shoulders and front legs than any other place. We have washed him with a
carbolic wash, also with a tea made from tobacco, but so far have been
unable to stop it. He often bites his legs below the knees until he
takes off all the hair and part of the skin. None of the other horses
are, troubled, although this horse has been troubled for three years.
Apply the following: Lysol, 1 ounce; kerosene, 4 ounces; formalin, 2
drachms; cotton seed oil, 9 ounces. Mix and apply once daily after
washing with hot sheep dip solution 10 to 100.

This photo was taken when my wife and I were waiting to get married in the chapel on the second floor of New York City Hall. I just received the 100th issue of LJ and brought it along. You can tell from the photo that my wife was a little jealous. So the title for the photo is "Beauty or LJ". Hope you like it.

Beauty or LJ: Bride-to-be Qing Xiang peeks at fiancé Ning Qian's Linux Journal (photo: Nicole Xiang).
I enjoyed reading your article about setting up an FTP proxy [LJ, December 2002]. I was just curious about one point. You make a comment about not being able to configure the acceptable commands list differently for internal and external users. Is it possible to set up two proxies then route the incoming requests at the firewall for internal addresses to one proxy and those from external addresses to the other?
Mick Bauer replies: That's an excellent idea! You could set up a proxy on the firewall for external users, with read-only permissions, and set up a proxy on some host on the inside for outbound transactions, with looser permissions. You could then configure your firewall to permit outbound FTP only if it originates from the designated internal proxy.
It's great to see those huge old machines coming back! I saw an advert in Linux Journal for a CDC 6400, the baby brother of the immense CDC 6600. Of course today we could not use Freon to cool it. And software is coming back! SOAP, for instance, the Symbolic Optimal Assembly Program for the IBM 650. Magnetic drum memory will never die! I have even seen articles about ASP, the Attached Support Processor for the IBM 360/65. Who says I'm a dinosaur?

The articles on ptrace in the November and December 2002 issues were very informative. So what's to stop someone from using ptrace to insert some malevolent code in a running program? Forgive me for looking on the dark side.
—Walter S. Heath, Concord, Massachusetts
Keep thinking evil thoughts. You can't keep a system secure without studying possible attacks. Fortunately, you can only ptrace a process if it's your own process, or if you're root.
I have found an error in my article, "OpenLDAP Everywhere" [LJ, December 2002]. In the auto.home section on page 54, the gomerp entry has the line:

The line should read:
cn: gomerpA reader contacted me after copying the entry exactly from the article. He has fixed his configuration and is up and running with unified logon. Matt Lung and I are very pleased with the article as published. Our mothers are very proud!

We were a little disappointed by your article on the applications for the Zaurus. You listed many commercial applications and yet when it came to mapping/navigation software you listed only the free one. zNav and zNav Lite are the only Zaurus mapping/navigation products that use commercial navigation charts.
—Patrick Cannon, Barco Software, LLC
Here the world's highest Linux install event took place Saturday the 12th of December 2002, 11,000 feet above the sea. It was the first of its kind in this part of Bolivia—and maybe a world record when it comes to altitudes and Linux install events.
The organizers task force: Janus Sandsgaard, Edgar Ruiz, Juan Conorel, Devin Conde, Hardy Beltran, Christian Mollo and Jorge Castro.
—Janus Sandsgaard
Yesterday I was very happy to see that the Zaurus was on the cover of the January 2003 issue of LJ. I am involved in the OpenZaurus Project, and I would really appreciate a monthly section on the Zaurus on LJ.
When you mention the Zaurus applications tkcGallery and MooView [LJ, January 2003], you completely leave out the point that MooView cannot handle even reasonably sized files, just like the included image viewer, while tkcGallery can handle virtually any size image. I've tested up to ten megapixels so far. The general feeling here is that if it is a commercial app you must make some negative mention, and if it is free then there must be nothing wrong with it.
—Shawn Gordon, President, theKompany.com
Guylhem P. Aznar responds: I just could not recommend every single application. Yes, I did mention the problems I had and the existing free software equivalent if there were any, but I also gave strong purchase advice for some unique software such as tkcJabber.
Go to a Borders bookstore some Saturday as I do and pick up a book on Linux, or Linux Journal, and read it. Stay there for two hours and you will have a minimum of two people come up to you and tell you of their companies' recent conversion from Windows to Linux servers.
—Charles Ebert
Hey! This isn't a library! Are you going to buy that?
Somehow I managed to forget to bring reading material for my Thanksgiving flight, so I found myself looking through the junk that the airports had to offer. My brother said I should get a magazine but I refused to pay five bucks for something without content. I returned home to my latest Linux Journal. In every issue you folks manage to cram lots of good stuff onto those pages. So many computer magazines are more like bridal zines, to be purchased only when one is in the market for something new. Linux Journal, on the other hand, puts together great articles for people who actually use the machines they own. So I just wanted to send out a thanks. Some days I think your organization is the only place that has a clue as to what people want.
I have to disagree with the comments made by Tom Amon in your January 2003 Letters section (entitled "Red Hat 8.0: Love the License, Hate the Look"). Red Hat has made an attempt to bring forward a "best of breed" desktop. Having KDE (or GNOME if you wish) pre-setup with Mozilla, Evolution and OpenOffice seemed, to me, a vast improvement over the 7.3 release. I'll concur with Tom that the result is not perfect (where did Xine go, Red Hat?), but this is a road I would like Red Hat to stay on.
—Timothy J Halloran, Carnegie Mellon University
An excellent article on how to use your Zaurus and what various hardware and software options are available [LJ, January 2003]. The Zaurus is a system that can stand on its own, and more articles on it would be welcome. I can also say that I find the advertising in your magazine an excellent resource of what's available in the Linux world.
—Julian Macassey
The author of "Compiling Java with GCJ" [LJ, January 2003] misses the point of what makes Java a more viable solution than any natively compiled language, namely, platform neutrality á la the Virtual Machine. Simply put, natively compiling Java defeats the primary purpose of why Java was invented in the first place. I compile GIS Java code once on Linux and run that same code on Mac OS X, AIX, Solaris and more, with great success and eye-popping performance. A key Java goal is to limit the long development cycle time of software by avoiding native porting overhead.
—Bryan McKinley
On page 15 of the January 2003 Linux Journal you have a full-page ad from Rackspace. I would advise anybody looking for hosting NOT to go to Rackspace. They are well known for hosting spammers. The "100% network uptime" they boast about in the ad does you no good if your class C is blackholed due to the spammers you share it with. I would advise anybody seeking hosting to closely check the anti-spamming resources before contracting for hosting.
—David D. Hagood
Likewise, you should check out any spam-filtering service you plan to use to see how much legitimate mail gets blocked because of who the sender's network neighbors are. The www.linuxjournal.com web site is at Rackspace, and it works fine for us.
I enjoyed both Renato Carrara's letter in the December 2002 Linux Journal, and Gary Nickerson's reply in the January 2003 issue. I don't think that it's necessarily dangerous for a (relatively) small-circulation publication like Linux Journal to sell advertising to Microsoft; Bill's money is just as green as anyone else's. However, as a publication grows, it needs to beware of developing a dependency on large, powerful advertisers such as Microsoft. High overhead can make them susceptible to the threat (explicit or unstated) of one or more large advertisers pulling their ads. I hope that LJ can grow at a measured pace and thus maintain its independent spirit and its outstanding content. In the meantime, I appreciate your great work in building a very useful and readable publication. Please keep it up. And, hey, if you're able to siphon off a few bucks from The Beast along the way, more power to ya.
Regarding the letter "An Ad Is an Ad" in the January 2003 issue, I think the decision not to run ads from Microsoft is a great one. If I need information from them I know exactly where to find it. The ads in Linux Journal nowadays are really a welcomed break from other "infested" publications. I think it's really important that you guys keep your focus on the values of where you came from, since it really makes a big difference for us readers. Truly, it's a joy to read your magazine, all the fresh people and talk and the lack of all the corporate bull.

Please consider archiving your QIP here for others physicians to see. I've put my Concordia Portland "Capstone Project" here (my action research, my QIP). It's very formal. Yours doesn't have to be at all.
QIPs are truly unique for each practice, each group of patients, each physician, each moment in time. They're not (usually) RCTs, that can be widely applied. They inform the physician of the circumstances at that time, with that group of patients. Reading a QIP here does not mean that it will hold in your corner of the world, with your group of patients, at another time.
A patient satisfaction survey done in 1985 doesn't hold for 2014…
Hospital transition statistics and maneuvers to improve access one year may not at all hold the next…
But they do inform us. They are a scientific way to approach problems in our own practices, ways to improve our performance, ways to improve health care delivery and outcomes.
Help us learn from your experience. Please contact me. I'd love to archive your QIP, so all can potentially benefit from your work.

On December 2014, at Round in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Glass Apple Bonzai did a live score for one of the most beloved classic silent films, Metropolis. The score was improvised with little rehearsal, and the recording released on Bandcamp was taken straight from the soundboard exactly as it was recorded that night.
Metropolis being one of the very first cyberpunk style movies, is a continued inspiration even generations after its release. Considering its age and the fact that it is a completely silent film, there have been many attempts to add a soundtrack to the movie over the years. Perhaps the most notable restorations was done by none other than Giorgio Moroder in 1984. Not only did he reassemble the movie almost frame by frame, he also added an entire movie score for it. The score featured the sounds of the 80s with its glorious sweeping synthesizer sounds. He also brought in artists like Bonnie Tyler, Adam Ant, Freddy Mercury to help flesh out its musical landscape. While it was not an easy task it was certainly a labor of love. Although the finished product was met with mixed reviews, it remains a huge inspiration not only to fans of the movie, but to fans of synthwave as well.
I always find these types of projects fascinating. To find something that was created generations ago, let it inspire you, and continue the story for future generations, is something truly beautiful and epic. It's a love letter to the past for the future and it's something that really strikes a chord in me.
Over the holidays I was able to catch up with Daniel Belasco, the man behind Glass Apple Bonzai to discuss his experiences with putting it all together.
How did you first get introduced to the movie Metropolis?
Late night TV in the 90's. I remember it being on WNED Channel 21 from Buffalo (right across the border from where I live in Canada) on a show called Off Beat Cinema. They played the version with the score by Giorgio Moroder and I was sold. The movie was amazing, the music was amazing, the whole atmosphere was just perfect.Years later I obtained a bootleg copy of, what was at the time the most complete version of the film and watched it religiously.
What were the events leading up to your decision to do a live score for the movie?
Honestly, I don't recall exactly. I remember it was a join effort between myself and my long-time friend Ryan Clark, who has been a show promoter in Toronto for ages.I asked my regular bandmate Steve and our friend Ethan Moseley (Promonium Jesters, Hidden Hierarchies, En Esch, Adaptive Reaction) to join in as it would be a bit too much music for one person to handle. Everything was performed live. Nothing was pre-recorded or tracked. Upon retrospect it was fairly ambitious seeing as how the cut of the film we used is almost 3 hours (with intermission).
The three of us did a run-through at my house a few days before just to make sure everything worked properly. There's a recording of that somewhere too. I have to find that.
What did it feel like to provide music for a 92 year old silent film?
It was an awesome experience. The subject matter of Metropolis is so accommodating of electronic music that you can take things in so many different directions and it all seems to fit just right.
Do you have any experiences from the evening you would like to share?
The way the whole thing was set up was what made it memorable for me.Steve, Ethan, and myself were setup on a stage off to the side of the venue while the audience was seated facing a large screen. Not looking at us at all. Just experiencing the entire presentation. The focus was on the film and the music we provided. It felt like actual theatre, and it was wonderful. At the end the audience applauded both the film and the musicians. It was all around a fantastic experience. Very satisfying.
Would you ever consider doing another live score for another movie like Metropolis?
As a matter of fact we're planning a live scoring of Jean Luc Godard's sci-fi classic "Alphaville", which while not silent it allows us the opportunity of turning the audio off and letting the subtitles (the film being recorded in French) to carry the dialogue. I'm not sure when it will happen but it's been on the plate for a while now so it's just a matter of time.
If you're ready to dive into the world of Metropolis make sure to head over to Glass Apple Bonzai's Bandcamp and pick up a copy of this amazing live score for yourself.

According to the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, a refugee is "a person who owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence as a result of such events, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it." A person is officially accepted as a refugee in the UK when they have their claim for asylum accepted by the government.
Under international law, anyone has the right to apply for asylum in any country that has signed the 1951 Convention and to remain there until the authorities have assessed their claim. No country has ever withdrawn from this convention having originally signed up to its edicts.
More than a million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe in 2015, igniting what has been termed by the media as a ' refugee crisis'. Indeed, countries struggled to cope with the influx and stark divisions were experienced in the EU over deciding how best to deal with resettling people. Winter did not curb the flow of people; according to the UNHCR, 135,711 people have reached Europe by sea since the start of 2016. Refugees from Syria, displaced by the ongoing conflict there, continue to come in the largest numbers followed by people from Afghanistan, Iraq, Eritrea and Kosovo.
In the UK, the judicial system is highly complex, making it very difficult to be granted asylum. The process is extremely tough and the majority of people's claims are turned down. Since 2005, people recognised as refugees are only given permission to stay in the UK for five years and can have their case reviewed at any time. Numerous wonderful charities are therefore stepping in to support people and whole families before and during this five year period with Ourmala being one such tremendously vital and pivotal charity.
Ourmala exists to help refugees and asylum-seekers recover from the atrocities they have experienced and rebuild their lives. They stand for compassion, interconnection and social justice. Their mission is to provide immediate and lasting change for refugees and asylum-seekers through therapeutic care, educational services and access to critical resources. One of the key services offered by Ourmala is that of yoga, with 'mala' itself meaning garland in Sanskrit, the ancient Indian language in which yoga's seminal texts are written. All of Ourmala's services are free and they even refund the cost of travel, without which many of the people availing of their services would be unable to attend. They provide therapeutic yoga classes, hot meals, English classes, access to basic-needs services, access to educational services and a safe space for asylum seekers and refugees to simply breathe and be. Ourmala is truly a place of acceptance, kindness, solidarity and love.
This coming Tuesday, 21st June on the eve of midsummer and the official U.N. International Yoga Day, Ourmala is holding their 'Yoga for Refugees' Event in London to raise money to support 250 women and children in our local community. Taking place in Lindley Hall in the Royal Horticultural Halls in Everton Street, South West London, 'Yoga for Refugees' will include an extended yoga class in the Jivamukti style to a specially created soundscape by Amir Amor of Rudimental, short talks, special guests, goody bags, a raffle and plenty of opportunity for networking and deep connection with compassionate souls. All proceeds from this unique and spectacular evening will be spent directly on supporting women and children in crisis. Doors open at the stunning Lindley Hall at 5.30pm on 21st June 2016 for a 6.30pm start. For more information, visit Ourmala's event page at http://www.ourmala.com/yogaforrefugees/ .

Why You Should Get a Deep Tissue Massage Service
Massage therapy is popular because of the many health benefits that it offers. There are different types of massage therapy that you can choose from. You have sports massage therapy and deep tissue massage services, to name a few. The kind of massage therapy that you are getting does not matter because every single one of them can provide you a range of benefits when it comes to your health. When you get a massage regularly, you can expect improvements in your emotional, mental, and physical well-being. It serves as a complementary and alternative medicine all in one.
Click here to get more info on what to expect from a deep tissue massage service.
Improved circulation is one of the best things about getting a massage. There is improvement in blood flow because the tissues are stimulated if you get a deep tissue massage service. When there is proper blood circulation, all cells in the body will be getting a good supply of oxygen and nutrients. Toxins are also eliminated from your body when there is proper circulation. Better health is achieved when your body is well-nourished. Your skin also looks more glowing because of adequate circulation.
If you are stressed out, getting a massage helps tone down your stress levels. Massage helps free your mind from any negative feelings and emotions. A deep tissue massage helps to provide relaxation on your tight muscles. People get tension headaches because of tight muscles.
Massage therapy also helps relieve one from pain. Most of the time, the management of pain among patients with injuries combines massage with medication, physical therapy, or hydrotherapy. Pain that is caused by arthritis, sciatica, and muscle spasms in the patient is also better managed with a massage. A massage helps people who suffer from low back pain. The range of motion of the back area is also improved. Pain relief is expected in any deep tissue massage because it helps release endorphins, which are the natural painkillers of the body.
Tension in the muscles is also relieved with the help of a deep tissue massage service. Your regular job or your workout program may be causing tension in your muscles. To get rid of this issue, you should get a massage.
Immunity improvement is another health benefit of getting a massage. Getting a massage helps to stimulate lymph flow. Due to the fact that they are the natural defense system of your body, you can expect an improvement in your immunity. There are even studies that show that a massage increased your white blood cell count.
And last, when you get a massage, you provide your nervous system the stimulating or sedative effect that it requires. By getting a massage, your nervous system will signal your body to provide you a sense of relaxation and well-being. The effect on your nervous system when it comes to the massage will depend on the present state of your nervous system, the duration of the massage, and the type of massage.

7stacks is an easy to use, free app that lets Windows 7 (and Vista and XP) users have "stacks" of icons in their Taskbar (in 7) or QuickLaunch Toolbar (in Vista and XP). By using stacks, users can reduce icon clutter, and combine a group of related icons into a single icon. For instance, if you use application suites such as Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, or Adobe CS4, you can have all the suite's icons combined into one icon!
7stacks for Windows
You can also use it to browse and access documents within a folder very quickly. Usually, when you want to edit a series of frequently used documents, you'd have to either launch the app, and go to File|Open, or open the (My) Computer icon and go into your (My) Documents folder and pick the file you want. With 7stacks, just create a stack to that document's folder, and open that document in a couple of clicks.
7stacks is incredibly easy to use, and has a variety of looks and features, allowing anyone to customize the look of their stack however they'd like. And using Windows 7, its easy to create new stacks by right-clicking on any stack, and selecting "Create New Stack" in the JumpList. 7stacks will place an shortcut icon on your desktop to this new stack, which you can then pin to your Windows 7 taskbar, or Vista or XP QuickLaunch bar.
In Windows 7 and Vista, 7stacks uses Aero, making the stacks look like part of Windows itself. You can browse subfolders within a stack, just like in OS X Snow Leopard.
It offere 3 different styles of stacks: Normal, Grid, and Menu
– Normal displays a stack of icons vertically, with a text description next to it.
– Grid displays a "squarish" grid of icons only; useful when displaying a large number of items like document folders.
-Menu displays a cascading menu of items, with a very small icon and a name next to it. Hover over subfolders to browse inside those folders.
In Windows 7, you can create a new stack by right-clicking on any stack and selecting "Create New Stack" from the JumpList entry. In the Menu mode, 7stacks doesn't even need to be in a toolbar. You can use it right from your desktop, or any other folder.
The tool also lets you pin up to 10 different stacks on the Windows 7 taskbar.
You can get 7stacks from its Download Page.

Location: Hursley, near Winchester, Hampshire
Work carried out: Negotiations and design for Listed Building and specification for craft skills
Project description:
The original project extended this Listed thatched Cottage significantly to create a bigger Living Room and another Bedroom under the roof at First Floor Level. Despite the continuity of the traditional detailing from the road, the garden elevation gave a clue to the underlying modernity of the building which used a system that was new at the time but which now is common.
The third project was for an extension to the Kitchen end of the Cottage and incorporated a new Front Entrance.
The second project was for a traditional styled stable block for cars with a space over for ancillary storage. The fourth project converted the First Floor space to ancillary domestic accommodation for their older teenage daughter.
Together these building projects have been planned to screen the garden visually and acoustically from the very busy road adjacent to the cottage. This has worked well and the garden feels more secluded and enjoyable as a result.
Contractors: Fitzgerald & Co, Hayes & Son
