I'm going to suggest for a moment that just as the fibers of the fabric pictured here are tightly woven together, so are our family stories. Maybe we're not related by blood. Maybe we don't share the same last name. However, sometimes our stories - our family stories - are so tightly woven together, and we don't even realize it. While studying the stories behind the names that we're researching, we might not find another twig or branch in our tree, but we might find some non-blood relationships that give us some insight to our ancestors and sometimes, even ourselves.
Pearl's Book
If you've read my past stories, then you are familiar with the beautiful Pearl Williams Pointer. She is my husband's great grandmother, and I recently became aware of some of her items/heirlooms, and I've borrowed them in order to document them. I have to admit that I am having a fascinating time doing this. One of the items that I've been investigating is a copy of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Evangeline. This particular copy has no publication date in it, and I've been unable to find one for it. It was published by E.A. Weeks & Company, 521-531 Wabash Ave., Chicago. As you can see from the photos of it, it's in "O.K." condition. The broken spine indicates that it's been well-read. Also, It does have some illustrations in it, but no illustrator is listed. Inside the cover, the following is written in pencil: "To Miss Pearl Williams From Bertie Fair." On the facing page, also written in pencil is: "Pearl Williams Collins Iowa. Dec. 1st 1900 Collins Iowa." [Yes, "Collins, Iowa is written twice.] Well, my first question was, "Who is Bertie Fair, and what was her relationship to Pearl?"
Who Was Bertie Fair?
I was able to find and trace Alberta "Bertie" Fair and her family through the U.S. Federal Population Schedule, the Iowa State Census, as well as various databases available on the Story County portion of the iagenweb.org website. [Please note that this is a very preliminary search of Bertie Fair.] Here is a quick run-down of the information I found:
- Alberta Fair was born abt. 1878 near Newton, Jasper Co., Iowa to John W. & Emma C. Fair [both born in New York].
- Between 1878 & 1880, the family moved to Laurel, Marshall Co., Iowa.
- By 1885, the Fair family had moved to Indian Creek Twp., Story Co., Iowa, and they were still living there in 1895 and 1898.
- Alberta M. Fair married Fredrick Heilman/Heileman 5 Jan 1899 in Story Co., Iowa.
- One of Alberta's silblings was Grace who was abt. 11 years younger than Alberta.
- Alberta Fair Heilman/Heileman died 9 May 1914 and is buried in Center Grove Cemetery Union Township, Story Co., Iowa.
Now, this is just a supposition. I don't have any written message from Pearl [or Bertie, for that matter] that indicates their actual relationship. That being said, I have been to this area of Story County, Iowa, and I can say that these towns are small farming communities. To this day, everyone knows, well, everyone. So, even without the inscription inside of Pearl's copy of Evangeline, I feel that I can say with some certainty that they probably knew each other. As for their relationship, I'm not sure, and the reason I say this is that Bertie was abt. 9 years older than Pearl, and Bertie was abt. 22 when she gave this book to Pearl [who was abt. 13 yrs old]. I indicated above that one of Bertie's siblings was Grace, who was much closer in age to Pearl. They were all definitely near each other for most of their lives as Jasper and Marshall counties are adjacent to Story County. Also, Maxwell is an incorprated town within Indian Creek Township and nearby is Collins, Iowa [where Pearl lived]. Therefore, without a doubt, the families lived near each other. If accurately recorded, Bertie gave this book to Pearl 1 Dec 1900, which would've been abt. 6 yrs before Pearl married Harvey Pointer in 1906. Pearl was born in May, so I don't think that this was a birthday gift. However, it may have been a Christmas gift. Basically, I don't know what their relationship was exactly, but at the very least, they were acquaintances, and at the very most, close friends.
Longfellow and His Evangeline
I next decided to read Evangeline in order to see what Pearl saw when she read it. However, I did some background research on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Evangeline before I actually read it [which turned out to be a good idea because I hadn't read 19th century poetry in a while...] Very briefly, the story of Evangeline is a fictional story based on an historical event. It's a story about two young betrothed Acadians, who "lost" each other in the expulsion of the Acadians out of Acadia [now Nova Scotia] in eastern Canada. Evangeline searches her whole life for Gabriel [her betrothed] all over America. She eventually is an elderly nurse who is nursing this older man, who turns out to be her beloved Gabriel. Tragically, he dies in her arms. Pretty dramatic, huh? It may be. However, America in 1847 loved it. It was widely read and used often in schools for reading and memorization. In other words, it was ingrained in America's students for decades. Also, it served as a resurgence for Acadians everywhere, for by then, many had forgotten their history. This served as a reminder of where they had come from and who they were. The book was printed many times including in the late 19th century, when Pearl was born and growing up. Evangeline was so popular with Acadians and their descendants that it has been immortalized in many ways and in many places. To name only a few: there is the Evangeline sculpture in Gran Pre National Historic Site in Nova Scotia; "Gabriel's" house in Lafayette, Lousiana; "Emmeline's" grave in St. Martin, Louisiana; the parish of Evangeline in Louisiana; and the Evangeline Thoroughfare in Lafayette, Louisiana. In fact, in some places, you'd be hard pressed to convince some that the character Evangeline is fictional.
Who Were the Acadians?
This seemingly innocuous question led me to quite a bit of history. The Acadians were French colonists from the western part of France who had started settling in what is now Nova Scotia in Canada in the 1600's. Almost from the beginning it was a war torn area between the French and the British over this part of North America. The Acadians remained neutral, but in the end were told to swear allegiance to the British Crown and take up arms against their fellow countrymen, which they did not do. In 1755, they were expelled from their lands, and they were spread out all over the place. Some were shipped back to France, some relocated in the American colonies, and some took refuge in Quebec.
Acadians, Cajuns, Creoles, and French Canadians: Who's Who?
This Acadian history got me to thinking about a Cajun I know. A Cajun that has a couple of lines that are French-Canadian. [Interestingly, all the rest of her lines are of French descent, a.k.a. Creole]. When I previously researched some of her main lines, I found that most had been researched thoroughly all the way back to the 1500's in France. [I'm not jealous. Really...] So, after reading this Acadian history, I was curious to see if her 2 French-Canadian lines were Acadian, as well. The first line, Guillory, came from Blois, France, and settled in Montreal, Quebec in 1664. They moved from there to Massacre Island [now Dauphin Island], Alabama ca 1707. After the Peace of Paris in 1763, Great Britain gained control of land east of the Mississppi River, and the Guillory's migrated to Fort Opelousas, Louisiana. Her other line, the Deshotels/Desautels also came from the western part of France and settled in Montreal, Quebec sometime before 1631, and they moved to Point Coupee, Louisiana sometime before the expulsion in 1755. Before I go on, let me define some terms. Now, an Acadian descendant is a descendant of a person who lived in what was once known as Acadia [now Nova Scotia]. A French-Canadian descendant is one who descends from French colonists that settled in Canada. A Creole refers to those who descend from French and Spanish colonists who were born on the North American continent. The term Cajun is a derivative [or slang] of Acadian, so by definition, it would mean the same thing as Acadian. However, in researching these terms, I found that the meaning of Cajun has morphed into meaning those who are born and raised in 22 of the southern counties in Louisiana. To prove this [not scientifically, though], I asked the Cajun that I know, "What do call yourself?" She replied, "I'm a Cajun." Specifically, what happened, is the cultures of the Creoles and the French-Canadians [who settled in the southern areas of Louisiana] were "absorbed" by the Acadian culture forming what is now known as a "Cajun" culture. [About as clear as mud, I know, but the good thing is that the mudbugs, or crawfish, are found in the mud...] Seriously, there are some similarities in her French Canadian migrations and that of the migration [that was forced] of the Acadians. Also, Montreal is located near what was known as Acadia. I would imagine that there was some identification between the two entities because of the proximity of each other in Canada and in France. [Again, this is just my supposition.]
So, What's In A Name?
Well, in this case, Evangeline is a name of a book of poetry by H.W. Longfellow given by one friend and neighbor to another - from Bertie to Pearl. This book tells the tale of a dark spot in history where the Acadians were expelled from their lands in Canada. Some of the resulting Acadian migrations were similar to the migrations of two of the lines of a Cajun I know leading them all to Louisiana. These Cajun descendants who settled in what is now Ville Platte, Evangeline Parish, Louisiana where the Cajun I know is from.
...a Cajun who became my neighbor because of a hurricane...
...a Cajun neighbor who became my friend.

SurvivalDave necesitaba un nuevo diseño de banner publicitario y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 45 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
This project is for the card back/box design for a deck of playing cards with 52 tips, tricks and insider secrets to survive natural and manmade disasters in an urban environment. It focuses on practical, proven urban survival strategies and not on scary "we're all going to die" scenarios, so please avoid "wacko" images.
My target audience is couples with kids and/or empty nesters who see the need to prepare for disasters themselves rather than depending on the government to save them when disasters happen. They are well read, hard working, and enjoy learning new things.
The majority of the audience is in the US
I would rather go with a limited number of colors if possible, as it will speed up drying time during the production process. I REALLY am looking for a simple, fast design.
The cover for the book that the deck is based on can be seen here:
The design can be EXACTLY like the title (with the distressed black text on a yellow background) or you can take creative liberty with it. The text used should say, "Urban Survival Playing Cards"
The current design for the card back can be found here:
Build off of the current design or go with a new one.
I like the current design with the exception of the following:
1. It's a US audience...I'd like to get rid of the Eiffel Tower.
2. The font on the 2 URLs is too small. Please make it bigger.
Here's the template for the card back:
Here's the box template:
The box should use the same design as the card back on the largest face.
The edge faces should all say:
"Insider secrets to help you survive civil breakdown after disasters"
The other large face (with the 1/2 circle cutout at the top) will have text on it that I will provide.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) From head to toe, three things are immediately noticeable when Washington Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon takes the field.
- His mouthpiece looks like vampire fangs. Nothing special, he says. Just something the team dentist designed for him a few years back when he was with the Indianapolis Colts.
- He appears to be the only NFL player whose jersey has a cedilla, the curvy thing that dangles from the letter ``c.'' His parents are from Haiti, accounting for his French name. He speaks Creole and understands French, although he says the French class he took in college didn't help much at all.
- He's makes the Redskins offense a lot better, even though he's playing with a toe that hurts. And hurts. And hurts. And has been hurting for some 2 1/2 months.
``I think I'm going to make it through the whole season,'' Garcon said this week. ``Hopefully nothing crazy happens. But I've been dealing with the pain for so long now, it's only getting numb to it or getting used to it.''
When Garcon caught the first touchdown pass of Robert Griffin III's career - 88 yards in the season-opening win over the New Orleans Saints - little did anyone know that the moment would yield as much frustration as excitement. Garcon tore a ligament in the second toe on his right foot while sprinting to the end zone, and the intervening weeks have been flush with thoughts of how to play through pain, how best to avoid surgery and whether he should even try to play again this season.
``It is frustrating because it's just a toe,'' Garcon said. ``But it plays a big part. I need my toes to push off.''
Garcon returned for Weeks 4 and 5, but he clearly wasn't physically ready and served more as a decoy than anything else, catching four passes for 44 yards. It looked like more of the same when he returned for again this month against the Philadelphia Eagles, catching three passes for a tepid 5 yards.
Coach Mike Shanahan wasn't certain whether Garcon would be able to play again four days later against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving because of the possible effect of the stadium's artificial surface on his toe.
``No matter what, I have to go out there and play,'' Garcon said. ``If it's grass, turf, AstroTurf, concrete - I've got to be out there no matter what. It's going to be a pain throughout the year.''
Against the Cowboys, Garcon looked again like the player signed to a $42.5 million, five-year contract to fill the team's need for a No. 1 receiver. He had five catches for 93 yards, including a 59-yard acrobatic catch-and-run score that gave nary a hint of anything wrong with his foot.
``He just brings a different attitude to the receiving corps,'' Griffin said. ``He's our guy. Having him out there is definitely a plus. ... He was in his own world. That's how he is when he's out there. He plays in the zone and I think it helps the other receivers to have him out there.''
The Redskins (5-6) hope Garcon can play another key role in Monday night's NFC East showdown against the New York Giants (7-4), but the fickle foot means offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan will have to be flexible with the game plan.
``You never know because he's not 100 percent healthy,'' Kyle Shanahan said. ``But when he does feel good, he's a big-time player. And when he's not fully going, I still think (having) him out there help us. ... It makes me a little less decisive in what we're going to open up with and stuff we're going to do, but it's definitely a problem I don't mind having.''
Still to be decided is how and when the toe will heal. Garcon has never had surgery, and he's adamant that he'll opt for it only as a last resort.
``It's slowly going away,'' Garcon said. ``The surgery is not something I want to do. But if a few doctors say I need it, then I'll probably do it. But if I don't need it, I'm not getting it.''
Notes: LB London Fletcher (sprained left ankle) and LT Trent Williams (left thigh bruise) again did not practice. ... Griffin was chosen as the NFL's offensive rookie of the month for November. He also won the honor for the month of September.

Color combinations
I have sewn new covers for two Ikea Marius stools. It's look improves so drastically with a little color! The stool is very cheap and I really like the legs.
How to do it: Cut out a round piece of fabric -or two halfs of different fabric if you want - which is approximately 5 cm wider than the seat all the way around. Zigzag an elastic strap on all the way along the edge - stretching the elastic out as much as possible. Place a piece of batting (I just learned that word) on the seat which is cut the same size as the seat and slip the cover on. Done!

Revision as of 00:35, 6 March 2018
-Sy on the command line), it has no place on this page or anywhere else on ArchWiki. No exceptions. -- Alad (talk) 09:37, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
Comparison table - build directory
Considering /tmp is mounted as tmpfs on Arch, and the potential downsides from building in RAM (running out of space), I think a column with the default build location for various helpers would be helpful.
The default values I've garnered so far, assuming TMPDIR is not set:
- aurutils: $XDG_CACHE_HOME
- pacaur: $XDG_CACHE_HOME (changed from /tmp, see [1])
- bauerbill: $PWD/build
- pkgbuilder: $PWD, /tmp when specified with -S
- packer: /tmp (TMPDIR)
- yaourt: /tmp (yaourtrc)
-- Alad (talk) 18:16, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, this could be useful. Although you'd want not to use color here, since users that know what they're doing would prefer to use /tmp (or setting up BUILDDIR to /tmp). --Spyhawk (talk) 11:15, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- +1. see also #Multi-thread support. --Indigo (talk) 11:33, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Well, while it does have benefits for some users, it's still a bad default. As you say though, this is easy enough to change either way, unlike any of the behaviour described in the other columns.
- We could leave out the colors, but mention the drawbacks/benefits in the "meanings" paragraph. -- Alad (talk) 13:35, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
- +1. see also #Multi-thread support. --Indigo (talk) 11:33, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
Multi-thread support
This also made me wonder if tools differentiate regarding multi-thread support (seems related, e.g. cower has a defaulted option for it). --Indigo (talk) 11:33, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- AFAIK, besides cower, packer [2] and bauerbill (
download.shamongst others) have multiple threads. aurutils also uses aria2c for downloads, if that counts.
- The benefits of multiple threads are however not always clear:
- * by my understanding, cower uses multiple threads, but with one query per package [3] (compare against multiinfo).
- * More generally, tasks (like dependency solving) can be sped up by using different methods which need to be called less often
- * Building packages would almost always be done sequentially: dependencies have to be installed (resulting in pacman locks), and there's
- Regardless, there are some large differences in AUR helper speed (with bauerbill being ahead of the rest). But I'm not sure how to quantify this in the table ... -- Alad (talk) 12:31, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Multi-thread support doesn't necessarily mean the helper is better. In cower case, multi-thread support was implemented before multiinfo was available in the RPC interface, and as of today using multiinfo is less complex and faster than using multiple info threads. Since it is difficult to implement multiinfo support without an important rewrite, cower multithreading is more a drawback than an advantage.
- As for speed, it's indeed very hard to quantify in a meaningful manner. For example, pacaur dependency solver is slower than bauerbill's solver, but on the other hand it is designed to compute more stuff than other helpers up front in order to avoid bothering the user once the install process is started. --Spyhawk (talk) 13:42, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- Interesting. Actually, I did not want to induce a "speed" column, rather the opposite. As you both say, always very difficult to choose a fairly universal/comparable benchmark, so "speed" as such is better be left out of comparison (as a column). If one wants to mention it, it might be useful to have a general remark at the top of the table, or somewhere else in the article, quoting some of the influencing factors you name; perhaps linking to (re -j) Makepkg#MAKEFLAGS and (re Skyhawk's remark above) Makepkg#Improving compile times. --Indigo (talk) 14:01, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- In hindsight, the only thing of relevance here is the use of the old
infointerface over
multiinfo(with newer versions of the RPC, both are identical). For example, cower puts a drastic load on the AUR due to its use of one request per single package. I think the most effective way here is to migrate to helpers that implement the new interface and leave those that don't in the past. -- Alad (talk) 20:14, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- In hindsight, the only thing of relevance here is the use of the old
Reliable Updater
Interested in feedback on possibly adding Reliable Updater as a category to Comparison table.
ie: Does it handle accurate update status on VCS packages? Does it handle accurate update status when developer fails to update .SCRINFO? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/.SRCINFO
And any other unmentioned situations. Cody Learner (talk) 18:49, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- The second is an issue only pacaur has, by design to "improve metadata on the AUR". It has nothing to do with what an AUR helper should do. The first is at best a specificity, since the AUR has no perception of what a VCS package is. See FS#56602. -- Alad (talk) 20:02, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- I think the most important here to provide reliable testcase to prove the reliability of updater :-) I would suggest mb creating a repo a with some stub PKGBUILDs which could be used as testcases for criterias in the table. Actionless (talk) 20:19, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- Not sure what a testcase of such would look like, since scoring on the other criteria should guarantee reliable updates apart from some pecularities outlined above.
- About the second case, it has been suggested before to create some centralized place for testing helpers instead of a few arbitrarily chosen AUR packages. However, since AUR helpers are (by definition) for the AUR, I wonder how you'd go about testing these helpers with an external repository. PKGBUILDs specifically made for testing helpers would not be accepted on AUR anyways as too specific. -- Alad (talk) 22:30, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- And what about adding packages to AUR but with some special prefix in package name (`_stub-package-test-reliable-solver`) and very explicit description ("DON'T INSTALL ME. Stub package intended for testing AUR helpers for 'reliable solver' criteria.") and so on? Actionless (talk) 23:53, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
"minimizes user interaction" is a misnomer
After that 'criteria' was removed it's leaving some gap in comparison. I think we ned to come up with some better wording to describe those AUR helpers which allowing to review all the packages at once and next it's just building them without interrupting and asking more questions from user for each package. I think it's quite crucial quality for application of such kind and for user it could be quite annoying installing each AUR helper and just trying to install two packages to see if it will ask all the questions right at once or before each package build. Actionless (talk) 20:28, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, i've just noticed what you also added asterisk to Secure field to address that problem. But what do you think about moving it into separate column? Because i don't think it's so much about reviewing PKGBUILDs but also about other kinds of questions, like installing dependencies or package conflicts. Actionless (talk) 20:32, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- About the other kind, any helper that supports makepkg's --noconfirm can install dependencies without query. I find it questionable to make "predicting conflicts for currently installed packages" or somesuch a core feature (which a separate column implies), since the issue might not present itself in the first place e.g. through a local repo or containers. Not to mention the original point, that you can still get up to 200+ prompts with helpers implementing this feature.
- That said, the asterisk was just something I've added quickly. A compromise may be a sensibly named column that isn't colored, akin to the shell completion column. ("linear", "batch" perhaps, compare "linear vs tsort" in [4]) -- Alad (talk) 22:23, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- I suggest to simply use "batch inspection" in the specificity column instead of creating a new column. The main purpose of table imho is to be a quick reference of the status of the main steps of the process, rather than being an extensive description of each specific features. Spyhawk (talk) 16:37, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
- I am not good at coming up with precise names, but let me explain the intention behind the feature. Maybe that will help one of you coming up with a precise name. Most dep solving algorithms look at the unfulfilled dependencies only, but that can lead to not finding a valid solution on rare occasions. Example: You have package A installed on your system and A needs "B". "B" is being provided by a package called B directly, but you fulfilled that dep with another package called B_1. Now you want to update package A to a newer version and also install package C. C conflicts with B_1, and B_1 only. If the dep solving algo just looks at unfulfilled deps, it will ignore B, because B_1 is installed. But that conflicts with C, so no solution is being found. "Deep search" of aurman ignores everything installed and is thus able to find the solution of removing B_1, installing B and C and upgrading A Polygamma (talk) 16:00, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
- I had written "dependency solving independent from the installed packages (optional)" for the "deep_search" feature in the specificity column of aurman, but that has been deleted. Tbh I cannot really follow the argumentation behind the removal. Why should the circumstance that it is almost never needed be a criterium to not put it in that column? It's nevertheless a feature which is unique by that helper, which makes it a specificity. Besides that: If one wants to install some package with another AUR helper and finding a solution fails, that "deep_search" feature could exactly be what he needs. And stating that the column is not a full features list, how does that matter for the removal of the entry? It is just one of many features... If this is the wrong place for a discussion about that removal - sorry, where do I have to put it? Polygamma (talk) 07:46, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
- This is the correct place. I think the main objection is that it's a rather long description of a single feature - as you may notice in the column, specifities are usually not longer than a few words. I've went with Spyhawk's proposal for now to use "batched interaction", [6] but we can leave this discussion open for further proposals. -- Alad (talk) 11:09, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
- What does "bootstrapping packages" mean? [7] Also what helpers do support versioned dependencies, and is it really worth including as a specifity due to the rarity of their occurence? Compare to the note on architecture specific fields which could extend instead, adding FS#54906. -- Alad (talk) 15:08, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
- Well, I googled quite a bit do come up with a term that describes what I mean, maybe the name isn't good. Example is the mingw-w64-gcc package - installing packages for building and then removing them again is meant. Regarding the versioned deps: Two examples I know for sure: trizen and pikaur. Wanting to install "aurman-git>1.0" yields in both cases: Not found. Polygamma (talk) 15:20, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
- Well anything supporting
makepkg --rmdepscan install packages and remove them again. E.g. aurutils can do that to a further extent since it uses a local repo, but it can't build mingw-w64-gcc as it has a too rudimentary dependency solving algorithm.
- I'll add a note then with the above bug report and
pacaur. I'll leave it to the authors of other helpers to add to the note if their helper supports versioned dependencies. -- Alad (talk) 15:38, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
- Well anything supporting
Separate table for unmaintained/old helpers
Right now the table is filled with entries that are no longer relevant apart for historical reasons (pacaur is one example that reached prominence, but there are many others like packer, aurget, burgaur, etc.). Since they technically still "work", I wouldn't remove them from this article, but either:
- keep them in the same table with grey-colored columns (compare de:AUR Hilfsprogramme)
- put them in a separate table
- put them in a separate table with grey-colored columns
- put them in a list, bulleted or using Template:App (compare Arch-based_distributions#Inactive)
Thoughts? -- Alad (talk) 19:00, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
- I think any of those options are good (along with a warning or note). Are any of the older packages simply "feature complete" (no updates since the author considers the program done)?
- —This unsigned comment is by Rdeckard (talk) 01:22, 26 February 2018 . Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
- I like the solution with the grey-colored columns in the same table the most. Everything stays in place, but it's visually easy to see which projects are still "relevant" Polygamma (talk) 09:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
- Dealing with the table alone doesn't make much sense, what about the lists above it? Would they be split or greyed out as well? How would you call the split sections - "unmaintained" vs "supported" or something like that? I know that you won't like the sound of "supported" here, but I can't think of a better alternative right now. -- Lahwaacz (talk) 22:57, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
- Then in my opinion splitting the table in 2 sections, maintained/inactive based on your expert judgement of the helpers (a mix of last release date and future expected dev) would be good. Keeping, for the moment at least, the same format eases comparison between current and legacy helpers. -- Kewl (talk) 16:23, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
- See Synchronization_and_backup_programs, why not using a maintained column like there. -- Kewl (talk) 17:08, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- So I guess Template:Yes for active development, Template:Y for inactive but with an "available" maintainer, and Template:No for unmaintained? -- Alad (talk) 17:22, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- The red column should be easy, i.e. "Projects that were abandoned by the author, in favor of a different project or otherwise" with some explanative link for each entry. Yellow could be when long-standing issues are not addressed. That leaves some edge cases, like when a project has frequent commits but issues are not addressed, but in general you'd give other entries a Yes. -- Alad (talk) 21:02, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- Here's an attempt: A project is "active" if 1/ it isn't officially discontinued/unmaintained, 2/ has a main regular contributor (generally the main author), with some commits of his own at least the past 6 months (in contrast to punctual contributors that work on unimportant issues), 3/ important issues of security and clean build are being actively worked on (commit being pushed or interest in doing so displayed in the past 6 months). That should cover the edge-cases. The proposed duration can be adjusted, ie. ~3 months could be more adequate. Spyhawk (talk) 08:43, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
Default sorting for entries
Right now, entries are sorted alphabetically and can be sorted by column by clicking on the respective arrows. I propose to make the default sorting both alphabetically and by "less crap", so people don't have to wade through mixes of red and green. -- Alad (talk) 16:45, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

David's post about the working-class vs. the professional ideal, brought to mind a few news articles, a boatload of memories, and a few thoughts about renewing the working class American Dream David spoke of. (After all, if there is more than one America, there has to be more than one American Dream. Right?)
The first article, from February of this year, focused on Detroit's loss of manufacturing jobs in the face of automaker's payroll cuts.
A new round of cutbacks by Detroit's automakers carries a larger message – that America's manufacturing workers are under new pressure in jobs where labor unions had once been able to command middle-class wages for assembly-line jobs.
…"Those jobs are going and they're not coming back," says Gary Chaison, a labor expert at Clark University in Worcester, Mass. In part, he says, manufacturers see moves such as the job buyouts as "a path for them to become low-cost producers by elimina
…But as worker productivity surges forward around the world, the balance of power has shifted. America's heavy industry isn't producing the number of jobs that it used to.
The US lost 3 million manufacturing jobs between 2000 and 2006, according to the Economic Policy Institute in Washington, citing figures from government reports.
Meanwhile, the average hourly earnings of manufacturing workers have grown more slowly than pay in service-sector jobs, even though productivity has risen much faster for manufacturing workers.
"All of US manufacturing is competing on a global basis," says Michelle Krebs, senior editor of Edmunds's AutoObserver.com, which tracks the car industry.
Though the next one — titled "The Wage That Meant Middle Class" — about the decline of the $20/hour wage, seems to imply the same attitude towards blue collar work that David addresses (blue collar jobs as a stepping stone to middle class status, and presumably white collar work, for the next generation), I can't help thinking that's still part of what's contributed to declining status of blue collar work and the unfamiliarity of most Americans with the principles David referenced.
Leaving aside for a moment those who have lost their jobs, what of those who still have them? Once upon a time, a large number earned at least $20 an hour, or its inflation-adjusted equivalent, and now so many of them don't.
The $20 hourly wage, introduced on a huge scale in the middle of the last century, allowed masses of Americans with no more than a high school education to rise to the middle class. It was a marker, of sorts. And it is on its way to extinction.
Americans greeted the loss with anger and protest when it first began to happen in big numbers in the late 1970s, particularly in the steel industry in Western Pennsylvania. But as layoffs persisted, in Pennsylvania and across the country, through the '80s and '90s and right up to today, the protests subsided and acquiescence set in.
Hourly workers had come a long way from the days when employers and unions negotiated a way for them to earn the prizes of the middle class — houses, cars, college educations for their children, comfortable retirements. Even now a residual of that golden age remains, notably in the auto industry. But here, too, wages are falling below the $20-an-hour threshold — $41,600 annually — that many experts consider the minimum income necessary to put a family of four into the middle class.
And the third article focused on the fact that there are fewer "good jobs" for workers without college degrees.
The steady loss of "good jobs" by less-educated workers has left them more vulnerable to recession than at any time in nearly 30 years, and signs are mounting that a recession is either already here or coming soon.
High-school dropouts and even high-school graduates who lack specialized job training have seen their already limited employment prospects steadily decline during America's decades-long shift from a manufacturing-based economy to a service economy.
Not long ago, Americans who were unable to attend college could count on finding local factory jobs after high school. The lucky ones landed in muscular industries such as aviation, steel and automobiles, while others found work on assembly lines building durable goods.
These and other "good jobs" were the signature byproducts of a robust economy that once was the envy of the world. The jobs provided stability and decent wages that allowed families to buy homes, provide for their children and retire in modest comfort.
…Since then, however, the economy has lost nearly 6 million manufacturing jobs — 52,000 in February alone. Among them were many of the 3.5 million "good jobs" lost from 2000 to 2006, according to John Schmitt, a senior economist at CEPR.
As those jobs disappeared, many blue-collar workers were forced to take jobs with far less pay and benefit security.
Put it all together, and there's a reason to think that there are are just fewer and fewer examples of the value and dignity in "attaining social status through farming, small-business development and factory work," as David wrote, and I suspect that's why too many of us have no reference point for it.
My dad didn't work in a factory. He worked in a power plant, which I guess is close enough. He walked out the door each morning wearing work boots, a safety hat, and carrying a lunch pail. And he didn't spend his work days sitting behind a desk. Before marrying my dad in 1955, my mom put herself through cosmetology school, and opened her own beauty shop in an extra room built on to her parents' home. That room was later converted into a bedroom, and when we visited my grandfather years later I could see the worn areas in the floor where my mom stood behind the chair and moved back and forth from her her tools (back then, a hotcomb and heating element). And my grandparents? Sharecroppers. So I do have a point of reference reference for all David mentioned in his example.
But how do we change our present reality? There are fewer and fewer factory jobs to be had, and we are pretty far along in a shift from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-based economy that has replaced good jobs with good wages and good benefits with jobs that pay considerably less and often come with fewer benefits or none at all.
Discussing all of the above with a colleague a couple of months ago, I suggested that in order to get out of the economic mess we're in, we'd have to return to some degree of a manufacturing economy, even if not at the same level as in the past. But he countered that the globalization genie was out of the bottle, and even as other countries enacted environmental and labor laws that make them less atrractive to corporations seeking cheap labor and low-to-no regulations, there will always be other desperately poor countries willing to take any jobs, at any wages, and under any conditions.
So, if he's right, how do we change that? First, there's no simple three- or four-step solution that will solve all of these peoblems, but there are ways we can begin addressing some of these problems. The reality is that working-class Americans have experienced a decline in their standard of living as blue collar jobs with decent wages and benefits are lost, and workers shift into service-sector jobs that pay less and carry fewer benefits. We can begin to address that through a health care plan that guarantees coverage to everyone. That would restore a degree of dignity to Americans who work hard and spend more and more of their wages on health care but are still under-insured, or the growing numbers of the unemployed joining the ranks of the uninsured who pay more for less care. As Sara pointed out, that would even encourage more people to start their own businesses, or go back to a school and retrain for a different career, rather than clinging to any job that offers reasonable coverage.
We can begin to address this by putting education within reach for more families, and especially the families of high-achieving low-income students — whose college enrollment rates are lower than high-income students with lower achievement scores. We can address it by focusing on career and technical education for students who are not college bound, and create jobs for many of them right in their communities, if we invest in fixing our crumbling infrastructure, instead of leaving it to the same Wall Street firms that helped bring us the credit crisis.
Speaking of infrastructure, we can begin to address this by envisioning and building a green economy, that creates growth and jobs in sectors like the steel industry and construction, as well as green architecture. We can create an economy that puts people to work retrofitting their own communities for alternative energy and greater energy efficiency, to reduce our dependence on imported oil, counter climate change, and secure better a future for their communities.
But first we need two things: political leaders who understand all of this — who may even have real-life, on-the-ground, hands-on experience working to lift communities, side-by-side with working families — have policies that help us get there, and the political will to push them to lead on all of these things once they are in office.
The job of renewing the American Dream for working Americans and their families doesn't just belong to our elected officials. It belongs to all of us.

Oregon Proposes Per Mile EV Tax
Despite the fact that electric vehicles and plug-in electric vehicles make up a miniscule fraction of cars on the road today, government entities are already planning for the financial implications of a time when they reach critical mass. At some point in the future, states will realize dwindling tax revenues from gasoline sales. And probably, the thinking is — better to get something in place now, while it affects only a few EV motorists, rather than meet the resistance of a possible majority in years to come.
The state of Oregon introduced a bill which passed the House Transportation and Economic Development Committee on April 4th, which proposes to charge drivers of electric vehicles and plug-in electric vehicles $0.0143 per mile, starting in 2014. It's reasonable that drivers of EV's are taxed to some extent — after all, they are road users too, and that infrastructure has to be paid for. But is the proposed new tax for EV drivers a good deal compared with taxes other motorists are paying?
Currently, Oregon's motorists pay $0.30 per gallon to the state as well as an additional amount to individual cities of about, on average, $0.03 per gallon. To make the analysis fair, the $0.184 per gallon which goes to the federal government can be discounted, as the state of Oregon does not collect this.
According to the EPA, the average motorist drives 12,000 miles a year, which translates to about 33 miles a day — well within the scope of any electric vehicle's range. In order to compare taxes paid by the driver of a conventional economical car, something like the Honda Fit, which gets a combined driving average of 31 mpg, would be a reasonable choice. The Honda, in 12,000 miles, will consume 387 gallons, that will be taxed at 33 cents a gallon. So comparing an EV with the Honda Fit, this is how the numbers run:-
EV tax per year: 12,000 miles x $0.0143/mile = $171.60
Gasoline tax per year: 387 gallons x $0.33/gallon = $127.71
Looks like EV drivers will pay higher taxes, but Oregon assumes the average car today is only getting 21 mpg — so it's the gas tax revenue on less efficient vehicles that it's trying to protect.

Olenick needed a new wordpress theme design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 30 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
Blog for people contemplating, going through, or finished divorcing and moving on with their lives.
Divorce sucks! But sometimes it's the best option and we want something that's upbeat, that shows a supportive community, that makes people feel comfortable and that they can share info with one another. A safe, secure place to hang out while they patch their life back up and move on.
Men and women having relationship troubles, deciding to split, going through the process of splitting up, then moving on with their lives. The idea is to connect people together who are in similar circumstances. This is a community first and foremost; we're not preachy or preaching or judgmental. It isn't, and shouldn't look like, a law or lawyers site. There will be legal info and terminology but it's really about the people. One issue to keep in mind are the children; men and women with kids need various spaces separate from (or at least separable from) those without kids.
The site will break down into sections and stages; I'm not sure how to represent that. Sections include areas for women and men to post articles and network w/ one another, areas for men and women to network w/ one another for community, advice, and maybe date (ex: a man might want to ask a woman why their ex is behaving a certain way), children, finance/law, and dating.
Stages include miserable and not sure what to do, decided to split, split and divorcing (whether still living together or not), and divorced/moving on.
The site must allow:
* Staff bloggers to post articles
* Guest bloggers to post articles that can be reviewed
* Community interaction features, esp including bulletin-boards
* Polls would be great
* Navigation that follows the nav requirements for people and stages above; the primary focus should be on the people
The look and feel should pull people into the community; to make them part of the community. It should feel friendly and warm; not cheerful but definitely not gloomy or sterile or like a business or law firm site. Please try to use bold colors; I don't like pastels or washed-out colors.
Most features will be text-based; there may eventually be videos but it's unlikely that we'll have lots of photos, except for photos of the writers.
Try something different. I went w/ 99designs to find something that doesn't look like a dull WordPress blog. Coders say to deliver layered PSD files.

A hernia forms when the abdominal wall weakens, bulges, or tears. The inner lining of the abdomen and small intestine can poke out of this weakened area. A hernia repair is a surgery to push the abdominal material back where it belongs and to repair the abdominal wall.
A hernia repair is done if the hernia is large and causing pain. Strangulated hernias can cut off blood supply and require immediate hernia repair surgery.
Without surgery, the hernia will not heal. The pain and size of the hernia usually increases over time.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may do the following:
On the days before and the day of your procedure, your doctor may recommend that you:
Depending on the type of repair, you may receive:
There are 2 main types of surgeries. A conventional surgery or laparoscopic surgery. Conventional surgery uses a large incision so that the doctor can directly access the area. Laparoscopic surgery uses smaller incisions and special surgical tools. You and your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of each surgery to determine which may be best for you. Factors like your overall health, location of hernia, and complications will play a role in the decision.
An incision is made over the hernia site. The hernia will be moved back into the abdominal cavity, or the sac may be removed. In the case of hiatal hernia, the stomach is moved from the chest cavity back down to the abdominal cavity.
For some, the weakened muscles that allowed the hernia to develop are sewn together. If the weakened area is large or in the groin, a piece of mesh will be placed over the area to create a new wall. If mesh is used, the muscle is not sewn together. The incision will be closed with stitches or staples.
Small incisions will be made around the hernia. Special surgical tools will be placed through these incisions. A small camera will be passed through an incision so that the doctor can see inside the abdomen. Other small instruments will be used to complete the repair.
After the procedure, the incisions will be closed with stitches or staples. A sterile dressing will be applied.
You will be taken to a recovery area. Fluids and pain medications will be delivered through an IV. If there are no problems, you will be moved to a hospital room to recover.
Less than 2 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
At home, slowly return to to normal activity and diet. Your doctor may advise pain medications. You will have to restrict activities during your recovery. Avoid straining and heavy lifting until your doctor says it is okay to do so. Follow wound care instructions to avoid infection. The recovery time will be shorter for laparoscopic surgery.
There is some risk that the hernia could return. To reduce your risk:
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

About the Manual
Purchase Manual
|Advancing Community Engagement With Student Leaders features four CSU campuses—Chico, Humboldt, Los Angeles, and Monterey Bay—that have been supporting student leadership programs in community engagement in exemplary ways for years.
Funded through the generous support of the Surdna Foundation, this "how-to" manual is based upon the experiences, models, and lessons learned of these four well-established programs. It provides a framework that can be easily adapted and modified by other institutions and organizations looking to develop similar programs.
It is organized into topical sections that describe the essential components of program development:
- Developing clear motivations
- Creating well-defined roles and responsibilities for students
- Securing adequate program funding and incentives for student leaders
- Recruiting and selecting the right students for the job
- Designing appropriate training, ongoing support, and evaluation of students
- Acknowledging and addressing "growing pains"
- Planning an intentional alumni relations strategy
Each section of the manual begins with a general overview that both orients the reader to the section's topic and provides general ideas for program design. The overview is followed by CSU Campus Snapshots that provide specific examples to illustrate how the four featured model programs address the issue being discussed. An appendix to the manual provides a variety of sample CSU campus documents referenced in the manual.
A companion workbook takes anyone committed to starting a student leadership in community engagement program through a step-by-step planning process. It is best used with hands-on training and the support of a CSU consultant, but can also be used independently. For more information, see tools and resources.
The CSU Center for Community Engagement gratefully acknowledges the Surdna Foundation for its generous and visionary support of The Next Stage: Boosting Service Learning to New Heights, three-year grant initiative.

Another round of Clean Diesel Grant Program funding opens
The South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources will be accepting applications for the sixth round of funding under the South Dakota Clean Diesel Grant Program. The program provides funds to assist schools in purchasing new public school buses to replace old, high-emitting diesel school buses, and to equip in-use diesel school buses with exhaust control retrofit devices that significantly reduce toxic soot emissions. The primary goal of the program is to reduce students' exposure to pollution.
There is no cost for the exhaust control retrofits. Eligibility for the retrofits includes any South Dakota public school district that directly provides transportation services. Total award per school district for a replacement bus will be approximately 25 percent of replacement cost and may be more depending on the number of successful applicants. Districts that have not received a replacement bus in previous rounds will have preference. DENR intends to award funds to as many eligible applicants throughout the state as possible.
The application deadline for round six is Dec. 20, 2013. Click here for more information about the program, or contact the DENR Air Quality office at (605) 773-3151.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – Oklahoma Christian University ranks as one of the best institutions in the western part of the United States, according to U.S. News & World Report's Best Colleges 2013 edition.
Oklahoma Christian placed 43rd in the west and second among Oklahoma schools in the "Best Regional Universities" category. This is the 14th straight year U.S. News & World Report has honored Oklahoma Christian.
Last month, the Princeton Review again recognized Oklahoma Christian on its "Best in the West" list.
The U.S. News rankings for regional universities are based on several key measures of quality, including peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving.
"We're honored to be recognized again by U.S. News and World Report as one of the best colleges in the west," OC president John deSteiguer said. "This distinction is a great reflection on our entire family, including our faculty, staff, donors, alumni, friends and the high-caliber students who call OC home."
The western region includes 15 states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
In the U.S. News methodology, "regional universities" provide a full range of undergraduate majors and master's programs, and draw students most heavily from surrounding states.
Oklahoma Christian, which has 38 percent of its students from Oklahoma and 22 percent from neighboring Texas, offers undergraduate programs in more than 60 fields of study. The university also offers an undergraduate Honors Program, and master's programs in business administration, engineering, ministry and divinity. OC's MBA program is offered both on-site and online.
Oklahoma Christian is nationally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and has discipline-specific accreditations from ABET (computer engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering programs), the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Accreditation, the Council for Interior Design Accreditation, the National Association of Schools of Music, and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education.
In addition to its Oklahoma City campus, OC has study abroad opportunities in Europe, Honduras and the Pacific Rim.

(UPI) -- The United States Postal Service has fired a Fresno, Calif., mailman who admitted he threw away letters about "Obamacare."
Residents of a Central Fresno apartment complex took photos of a nearby dumpster filled with mail about "Obamacare." Witnesses saw the postal carrier discarding the mail.
"He just kept glancing over his shoulder over and over again. It was like he knew what he was doing was wrong," said witness Jerry Dills. "It was just amazing, I looked down in there and there was a bunch of people's addresses and right away... I knew this was absolutely wrong."
Dills brought the mail from the dumpster to his local post office and filed a formal complaint.
A representative from the U.S. Postal Service questioned the carrier and he admitted to disposing of the mail. The temporary worker, who had just been hired in August, was fired immediately.
"He was running late and wanted to get back to the post office on time," said U.S. Postal Service spokesperson Gus Ruiz.
Dills was happy to hear the mail carrier lost his job. "This is very important information and there's no telling where you stop it at, you stop at one thing or is everything being thrown away on a daily basis. What is this person doing?"

Picked up some fabric and button's at Joann (wanted to get more). Their Halloween section was good, but they used to carry so much more. I like the more vintage looking stuff, and they had a teensy bit of it. They had some fabric I've been dying for, and I had just told Jason that Knoxville never gets cool fabric. LOL.
Hobby Lobby was ok. They have the entirety of the old Service Merchandise space, by Marshall's. They only had one aisle of Halloween, tucked between Fall, and X-mas. They had like five aisles of X-mas. I do like their beads and embellishments though.
Michael's was HIGHLY disappointing. God, it was awful. One aisle of Halloween. ONE AISLE. I'm hoping they get more. I had heard that they had some cute things that I would want. So, I went looking for something specific that they ended up not having. They did have some cute treat buckets with vintage Halloween things decoupaged on them. Ehhh...
Last I went to Target they had LAST YEARS Halloween T-shirts out.

"Shanghai Communiqué" issued
As the concluding act of President Richard Nixon's historic visit to communist China, the president and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai issue a joint statement summarizing their agreements (and disagreements) of the past week. The "Shanghai Communiqué" set into motion the slow process of the normalization of relations between the two former Cold War enemies.
President Nixon arrived in the People's Republic of China (PRC) on February 21, the first time an American president had ever set foot in China. The visit was immensely significant for other reasons, as well. Following communist leader Mao Zedong's successful 1949 revolution, the United States had refused to establish diplomatic ties with the PRC. Relations between the two nations were extremely chilly, and the U.S. and PRC troops had clashed during the Korean War from 1950 to 1953.
During the 1950s and 1960s, China was one of the main suppliers of aid to Ho Chi Minh's communist regime in North Vietnam. Nixon had been one of the harshest critics of the PRC during this time. When the United States came to the assistance of South Vietnam, and eventually committed combat troops to quell the communist insurgency in that nation in 1965, relations between the U.S. and China became even more strained.
The situation had changed dramatically by the early-1970s. Relations between the PRC and the Soviet Union had grown tense and angry. The United States was embroiled in an unpopular and fruitless battle in Vietnam. Nixon and his foreign policy advisors saw a unique opportunity in these circumstances. Establishing closer relations with the PRC might further divide the two great communist powers and make the Soviets more malleable concerning several issues—including their support of North Vietnam. And the PRC might conceivably put pressure on its North Vietnamese ally to agree to a peace settlement in Vietnam in order to curry more favor with the United States.
The Shanghai Communiqué summarized the areas of agreement and disagreement between the United States and the PRC at the end of Nixon's visit. In one section of the document, their differences concerning events in Asia were apparent. The PRC restated its support for North Vietnam, while the United States steadfastly supported South Vietnam. On Korea, the Chinese stressed the need for "unification," while the United States pressed for a "relaxation" of diplomatic tensions between North and South Korea.
However, the two nations also stressed their sense of unity on a number of general themes, including the need for peaceful coexistence between the East and West. Much of the statement concerned the Nationalist Chinese government on Taiwan. This was a point of tremendous importance, for the PRC declared that it would not begin diplomatic relations with the United States until the latter cut its diplomatic ties to Taiwan. In the statement, Nixon promised to slowly reduce the American military presence on Taiwan. Finally, the statement noted that both China and the U.S. would encourage greater contact through increased trade and travel by each nation's citizens.
The Shanghai Communiqué set the stage for a dramatic reversal in the U.S. policy toward China. Since 1949, the United States had recognized the Nationalist regime on Taiwan as the government of China. It had consistently refused efforts to have the PRC government represented in the United Nations. After 1972, relations between the United States and the PRC began to warm. By the end of the administration of Jimmy Carter (1977-1981), the United States had—in one of the most surprising twists of the Cold War—severed diplomatic relations with Taiwan and formally extended diplomatic recognition of the PRC.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Formula One teams say they have no qualms about scheduling crucial pre-season tests in Bahrain next February after the restive Gulf kingdom's grand prix went ahead without incident this year.
The 2011 race had to be cancelled, due to civil unrest and the crushing of an anti-government uprising that cost at least 35 lives, and some rights activists have since urged teams and sponsors to stay away.
Teams have argued in their defense that Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone draws up the calendar and they are contractually obliged to race wherever he decides.
However, they do have a choice when it comes to testing venues and there were ready-made alternatives to Bahrain in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh, whose team is half-owned by Bahrain's Mumtalakat sovereign wealth fund, said attitudes had evolved since the height of the unrest.
"I think people are relaxed about going there based on their experience of this year," he told Reuters.
Bahrain circuit authorities said last weekend, during the Korean Grand Prix, that the Sakhir track would host pre-season tests from February 19-22 and February 27-March 2 next year.
Next year will be the 10th anniversary of the first race in Bahrain and organizers are planning a floodlit day-to-night event like the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The 2012 race was seen as a public relations own-goal for Bahrain's rulers, coming against the backdrop of security forces firing teargas in streets and villages while protesters hurled rocks and petrol bombs in images broadcast around the world.
This year's grand prix in April passed largely without incident, despite opposition rallies and regular skirmishes out of sight of most Formula One visitors.
The state news agency BNA reported on Monday that nine Bahrainis had been jailed for life for forming a militant group, manufacturing explosives and plotting attacks aimed at destabilizing the kingdom.
Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn said he was not aware of any contingency plan for the tests should unrest flare up again.
"Obviously we hope things are progressing there as well as they can. Quite frankly, it's not been a major topic, it's not been discussed, so hopefully we can have a quiet time there," he told reporters.
"There have been assurances about the conditions there. It was part of the discussion that has gone on," he added.
Teams and engine makers say they need to test in the Middle East to guarantee the hot conditions they will not find in Europe at that time of year.
With a radically new V6 turbocharged engine being introduced, the manufacturers cannot afford to lose any of the limited testing time available to the weather.
"From the purely technical perspective, Bahrain is a more representative circuit," Brawn added. "We can test there, we prefer to test there. It's the best, most suitable track at that time of the year."
Sauber team principal Monisha Kaltenborn said the decision had been led by the engine makers - Mercedes, Renault and Ferrari - and smaller teams like her Swiss-based outfit had to fall in line.
"If the tests are mainly meant for the engine, to have the right conditions to test that engine, then you don't have a choice," she said.

Here in Algeria there is a youth support network which is based on studying a project or venture that the applicant suggests; after the file is accepted, sponsorship for this project is granted and this sponsorship takes the form of a percentage of the price of the necessary equipment that is paid by the state, added to which there is a percentage given by the bank, and the rest is paid by the entrepreneur who came up with the project. This type of financing is called "triple financing". The money for purchasing the equipment is deposited in a bank account in the name of the project, noting that the bank has a share of more than 80%. After the paperwork is completed, the bank gives the entrepreneur bank cheques to buy the equipment from the seller. It is worth noting that ownership of the equipment remains in the name of the bank until all dues have been paid to the bank by the entrepreneur within a certain time frame, i.e., by instalments, and with an extra amount that increases the price of the equipment.
My question is: is this type of procedure permissible?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If the bank gives the money to the entrepreneur to buy his equipment on the basis that he will pay the money back with something extra, then this is a riba-based loan which is haraam, whether the money is paid in the form of cash, cheques, vouchers or anything else. But if the bank buys part of the equipment for itself, then it resells it for a higher price paid in instalments, there is nothing wrong with that, and it may keep the ownership documents until the borrower has paid off all the instalments. The fuqaha' stated that it is permissible for the item to be held in pledge for its price (until it is paid off). It stays in a statement of the Islamic Fiqh Council: The seller has no right to retain ownership of the sold item after it is sold, but it is permissible for the seller to stipulate that the sold item be regarded as collateral in order to guarantee his rights to have the instalments paid off in full.
See the answer to questions no. 69877, 140603, 143004
Based on that, what you have to do is look at the contract between the customer and the bank, to find out the role of the bank, so that it will be possible to issue a specific ruling on this issue.
And Allah knows best.

Your hands in mine,
Always intertwine,
Oh my Alice.
When I look at you I see your heart,
Dear god give me a kick start,
Your beautiful face,
Never out of place,
Oh my Alice.
I need but one touch,
Which will never be to much,
You never cease to amaze me,
You are the key,
To my dead heart.
Oh my Alice.
