Partitioning a hard drive allows one to logically divide the available space into sections that can be accessed independently of one another. Partition information is stored within a hard drive's Master Boot Record.
An entire hard drive may be allocated to a single partition, or one may divide the available storage space amongst multiple partitions. A number of scenarios require creation multiple partitions: dual- or multi-booting, for example, or maintaining a swap partition. In other cases, partitioning is used as a means of logically separating data, such as creating separate partitions for audio and video files. Common partitioning schemes are discussed in detail below.
Users may create up to four primary partitions per hard drive. If additional partitions are required, a single extended partition can be created instead (that is, up to three primary partitions and one extended partition). An extended partition can be further divided into an unlimited number of logical partitions.
File system
From Wikipedia:File system:
- A file system (or filesystem) is a means to organize data expected to be retained after a program terminates by providing procedures to store, retrieve and update data, as well as manage the available space on the device(s) which contain it. A file system organizes data in an efficient manner and is tuned to the specific characteristics of the device.
Some common file systems are:
- ext2/ext3/ext4 - File system used for GNU/Unix partitions
- FAT32 - File system used to store files, used by most USB or removable Devices. Mountable with
mountor other utilities (e.g Thunar#Thunar Volume Manager)
- NTFS - File system used by windows. Mountable with many utilities (e.g. NTFS-3G)
See also File Systems.
Partition type
Partitioning a hard disk drive defines specific memory storage areas. These are called partitions. Each partition behaves as a separate disk and is formatted with a specific filesystem type (see below).
There are 3 types of disk partitions:
- Primary
- Extended
- Logical
Primary partitions can be bootable and are limited to four partitions per disk or RAID volume. If a partitioning scheme requires more than four partitions, an extended partition containing logical partitions is used. Extended partitions can be thought of as containers for logical partitions. A hard disk can contain no more than one extended partition. The extended partition is also counted as a primary partition so if the disk has an extended partition, only three additional primary partitions are possible (i.e. three primary partitions and one extended partition). The number of logical partitions residing in an extended partition is unlimited. A system that dual boots with Windows will require that Windows reside in a primary partition.
The customary numbering scheme is to create primary partitions
sda1 through
sda3 followed by an extended partition
sda4. The logical partitions on
sda4 are numbered
sda6, etc.
Swap partition
A swap partition is a place on the drive for virtual RAM. This allows the kernel to access disk space for data that does not fit into physical RAM.
Historically, the general rule for swap partition size was to allocate twice the amount of physical RAM. As computers have gained ever larger memory capacities, this rule has become deprecated. On machines with up to 512MB RAM, the 2x rule is usually adequate. If a sufficient amount of RAM (more than 1024MB) is available, it may be possible to have a smaller swap partition or even eliminate it. With more than 2 GB of physical RAM, one can generally expect good performance without a swap partition. There is always an option to create a swap file after the system is setup.
Selecting a partitioning scheme
There are no strict rules for partitioning a hard drive, although one may follow the general guidance given below. A disk partitioning scheme is determined by various issues such as desired flexibility, speed, security, as well as the limitations imposed by available disk space. It is essentially personal preference. Two simple possibilities are: i) one partition for root and one partition for swap or ii) just a single root partition without swap. Read through the following discussion and examples to understand the benefits and tradeoffs in making the decision. If you would like to dual boot Arch Linux and a Windows operating system please see Windows and Arch Dual Boot.
The following mountpoints are possible choices for separate partitions:
- The root directory is the top of the hierarchy, the point where the primary filesystem is mounted and from which all other filesystems stem. All files and directories appear under the root directory
/, even if they are stored on different physical devices. The contents of the root filesystem must be adequate to boot, restore, recover, and/or repair the system. Therefore, certain directories under
/are not candidates for separate partitions (see the warning below).Note: Support for
/usras a separate partition is not provided by default [2]. If you have a compelling reason for doing so, read mkinitcpio#/usr as a separate partition.
- This directory contains the kernel and ramdisk images as well as the bootloader configuration file and bootloader stages. It also stores data that is used before the kernel begins executing user-space programs. This may include saved master boot sectors and sector map files. This directory is essential for booting, but is unique in that it may still be kept on its own optional partition. Warning: Unlike
/boot, the other directories essential for booting must be on the same partition as
/. These essential directories are:
- Provides subdirectories for each system user. It holds miscellaneous personal data as well as user-specific configuration files for applications.
- Directory for programs that require temporary storage of files such as
.lck, which can be used to prevent multiple instances of their respective program until a task is completed. Upon completion, the
.lckfile will be automatically removed. Programs must not assume that any files or directories in
/tmpare preserved between invocations of the program and files and directories located under
/tmpwill typically be deleted whenever the system is booted.
- Contains variable data such as spool directories and files, administrative and logging data, pacman's cache, the ABS tree, etc. It exists to make it possible to mount
/usras read-only. Everything that historically went into
/usrthat is written to during system operation (as opposed to installation and software maintenance) must reside under
/varcontains many small files. The choice of filesystem type (see below) should consider this fact if a separate partition is used.
There are several advantages for using discrete filesystems as opposed to placing everything in one partition:
- Security: Each filesystem may be configured in
readonly, etc.
- Stability: A user, or malfunctioning program can completely fill a filesystem with garbage if they have write permissions for it. Critical programs residing on a different filesystem remain unaffected.
- Speed: A filesystem that gets re-written too frequently may become fragmented. Separate filesystems remain unaffected and each can be defragmented separately. Fragmentation can be avoided by ensuring that each filesystem is never in danger of filling up completely.
- Integrity: If one filesystem becomes corrupted, separate filesystems remain unharmed.
- Versatility: Sharing data across several systems becomes more expedient when independent filesystems are used. Separate filesystem types may also be chosen based upon the nature of data and usage.
How big should my partitions be?
The size of the partitions depends on personal preference, but the following information may be helpful:
/boot— 100 MB
/bootpartition requires only about 100 MB.
- The root filesystem (
/) must contain the
/usrdirectory, which can grow significantly depending upon how much software is installed. 15-20 GB should be sufficient for most users with modern hard disks.
/var— 8-12 GB
- The
/varfilesystem will contain, among other data, the ABS tree and the pacman cache. Keeping cached packages is useful and versatile as it provides the ability to downgrade. As a result,
/vartends to grow in size. The pacman cache in particular will grow as the system is expanded and updated. It can, however, be safely cleared if space becomes an issue. If you are using an SSD, you may wish to locate your
/varon an HDD and keep the
/homepartitions on your SSD to avoid needless read/writes to the SSD. 8-12 GB on a desktop system should be sufficient for
/var, depending on how much software will be installed. Servers tend to have relatively larger
/home— [very large]
- The
/homefilesystem is typically where user data, downloads, and multimedia reside. On a desktop system,
/homeis typically the largest filesystem on the drive by a large margin. If it becomes necessary to reinstall Arch, all the data on your
/homepartition will be retained if it is setup on its own partition.
Partitioning tools
To control the actual partition scheme type:
# fdisk -l
- fdisk — Terminal partitioning tools included in Linux.
- cfdisk — A terminal partitioning tool written with ncurse libraries.
- GNU Parted — It allows to resize or to copy a partition (fdisk and cfdisk don't have this feature)
- Partitionmanager — Graphical tool written in QT.
- QtParted — Similar to Partitionmanager, available in AUR.
- GParted — Graphical tool written in GTK.
Partitions in a GNU/Unix system
The recommended partitions are / (root), /boot, /home and swap, but you can also add /usr and /var:
/ (root)
/ partition or root partition is necessary and it is the most important. The other partitions can be replaced by it, even though having different partitions is recommended.
/boot directory contains the kernel and ramdisk images as well as the bootloader configuration file and bootloader stages. It also stores data that is used before the kernel begins executing user-space programs.
/boot is not required for normal system operation, but only during boot and kernel upgrades (when regenerating the initial ramdisk).
If kept on a separate partition,
/boot does not require a journaled file system. A separate
/boot partition is needed if installing a software RAID0 (stripe) system.
/home directory stores personal files in different folders. Keeping it in a separate partition can be very useful for backup: it often requires the most disk space (for desktop users) and may need to be expanded at a later date.
/home partition can also be shared with other Linux systems installed in multi boot, although this is not recommended becuase of possible incompatibilities between user configuration files.
The swap partition provides memory that can be used as virtual RAM. It is recommended for PCs with 1GB or less of physical RAM.
Historically, the general rule for swap partition size was to allocate twice the amount of physical RAM. As computers have gained ever larger memory capacities, this rule has become deprecated. On machines with up to 512MB RAM, the 2x rule is usually adequate. If a sufficient amount of RAM (more than 1024MB) is available, it may be possible to have a smaller swap partition or even eliminate it. With more than 2 GB of physical RAM, one can generally expect good performance without a swap partition. There is always an option to create a swap file after the system is setup.
/usr directory stores file that are shared by all users. A
/usr partition can be useful because it can be shared with others Linux OS.
In order to have a separate /usr partition, a mkinitcpio hook is required, as /usr is expected to be available at boot: see Mkinitcpio#/usr as a separate partition.
/var directory stores cache and log files. It is used for example for caching and logging, and hence frequently read or written. Keeping it in a separate partition avoids running out of disk space due to flunky logs, etc.

Zebra at Tucson's Reid Park Zoo dies in accident
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Officials at the Reid Park Zoo in Tucson, Ariz., say a Grevy's zebra has died in an accident.
The male zebra named Ajani was 19 months old and was born at the zoo.
Zoo officials say the death occurred Monday morning during preparations for routine vaccinations.
Shortly after being separated from the rest of the herd, Ajani was suddenly startled by another zebra in an adjacent area. He ran into an enclosure barrier and suffered a fractured neck.
Officials say the accident occurred in an interior area of the exhibit not visible to the public.
Zoo keepers witnessed the accident and the veterinary team immediately performed CPR to try to revive the zebra.
An X-ray revealed that the physical trauma to the zebra's vertebrae wasn't survivable.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and watch exhaustive coverage of the death of bin Laden. LET'S GO!
THE NEWS – All night (MSNBC, FOX News, CNN, etc.) There's a lot of your usual programming on tonight, but you're probably going to eschew that in favor of learning more about the firefight that killed the worst mass murderer in American history. There's nothing to indicate that normal programming will be pre-empted tonight with any kind of bin Laden special, but I'm sure networks are discussing such things as speak. ANTICIPATION: RELIEF!
LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN – 11:30PM (CBS) Jets coach Rex Ryan is among the guests this evening. And really, could there be a more appropriate guest for Letterman in the wake of such news? Rex Ryan could clean out Al Qaeda barehanded. ANTICIPATION: REXY!
HOUSE – 8:00PM (FOX) Candice Bergen is back as Cuddy's mom, and your other guest patient tonight is "Terriers" star Donal Logue, who will always be the cabbie from the old MTV ads to me. COCHISE! ANTICIPATION: SABOTAGE!
REMEMBER ME – 9:00PM (Showtime2) Bin Laden's death could also trigger a spate of 9/11-related programming. It just so happens that Showtime2 is airing one of the very worst examples of that this evening. Watch it, if only to get a glimpse at Robert Pattinson's future direct-to-DVD career. ANTICIPATION: PATTINSON!
KATE PLUS 8 – 10:00PM (TLC) The brood travels to Philly. ANTICIPATION: SHE'S STILL AT LARGE!

OMG! Robert Pattinson is TOTALLY Flirting with Reese Witherspoon! K-Stew, Did You Hear This?
Are R-Patz' dark brooding bluish-grey eyes wandering away from Kristen?
Has our favorite brooding vampire found a new soul mate? Robert Pattinson is apparently lavishing tons of attention on co-star Reese Witherspoon on the set of their new movie, Water for Elephants, according to Fox News. Reese is reportedly "flattered and giggling"about all the fuss, and the chemistry between them is "magic." Whoa! We bet Kristen Stewart is NOT happy about this news!
The last time this happened, rumors swirled about R-Patz's offscreen romance with co-star Emilie De Ravin during the filming of Remember Me? In retaliation, Kristen showed up the red carpet on Mar. 1 for the premiere of the movie to show the world that THEY were the couple, not Rob and Emilie. She has to be so jealous of Reese!
Don't forget that Reese is attached, too: She's dating CAA agent Jim Toth, in the wake of her long-term romance with Jake Gyllenhaal. Even though they've only been public for less than a month, Jim is already going to her kids' soccer games. He can't be too pleased with this news, either!
We will see what happens with this pair as the film production continues. It just started–the movie isn't going to be released until 2011. So they'll be spending a lot of time together in the next few months. Time will tell!

Now that spring has sprung, c'mon, let's start thinking about outdoorsy stuff. How about taking a nice long hike on an
short pier unspoiled wilderness path, with a blessed night's sleep at the end of your journey? This LuxuryLite Low-Rise Cot might make it easier, lifting your arse off the cold and unforgiving ground, yet not weighing your pack down too much when you're carrying it to its destination.
It only adds 2.5 lb. to your pack, and folds into a 16-inch bundle that might just fit nicely into a backpack. This might sound like quite a bit of weight, but it could be worth its $199 price if it could mean the difference between spending a night in the invigorating wilderness or staying cooped up at home.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Pop star Christina Aguilera is to perform at next month's People's Choice Awards show in Los Angeles, CBS said.
She is to join previously announced artist Jason Aldean in the lineup of performers for the Jan. 9 event at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live.
The People's Choice Awards are fan-voted prizes for excellence in movies, music and television.
"I am thrilled to announce that Christina Aguilera is joining Jason Aldean as a performer at the People's Choice Awards," telecast executive producer Mark Burnett said in a statement Wednesday. "Christina is one of my dearest friends and lights up literally every stage she steps onto. And I am so glad that I get to work with the amazing Jason Aldean again. I cannot wait to see these performances live on show night."

Aquinas Institute goes beyond simply being a gatekeeper for those seeking careers in ministry. Our faculty members want more than to gauge the suitability of candidates for ministry. We want to shape the men and women who study here. We want them to be healthy, whole, happy and productive ministers, and we have a process that makes it possible.
Students begin a formation process as soon as they enter Aquinas Institute through discussions about pryer and other personal faith issues.
In their second semester, ministry students undergo spiritual, psychological and behavioral assessments. They spend about five hours taking a battery of psychological and behavioral exams. They meet with a psychologist from the St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute to review test results and identify strengths and weaknesses.
Marian Love, director of the lay spiritual formation program, meets with students to assess their spiritual development. She requires them to write a "spiritual biography," which is a personal assessment based upon questions he provides. The autobiographies are 10 typed pages – single spaced.
Ultimately the student, psychologist and Love come together to talk about the student's test results and to establish a baseline of growth for ministry.
Students have at least four semesters of formation work. Students pursuing our most comprehensive degree commit to six semesters of formation.
As the semesters progress, Love and the student continue to meet to evaluate progress on the student's goals and set new ones. In addition to those meetings, students gather in small groups every two weeks. During these gatherings a student leads a 20-minute prayer experience as a means of developing skill, fostering reflection and nurturing the community. The group spends time during these sessions talking about issues related to ministerial development or faith formation.
The lay formation process at Aquinas Institute has been so successful that it has become a model among graduate schools of theology throughout the United States. It is more comprehensive than almost any other formation program in the country and it surpasses the standards put forth by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Lay men and women are increasingly being called to roles of working alongside ordained ministers. Those roles demand a preparedness that goes beyond theology. Aquinas Institute is working hard to ensure that they possess it.

Can someone help me, from what ive read you need to delete the original account?
so no support?
Hello, after factory resetting phone, i lost my 2-factor authenticator code generator, i also do not have access to a back up code.
I dont want to remove my team viewer account, I just want to remove the 2FA in my actual account: [the personal information has been removed by a moderator], is it possible?
Please let me know if any other information is required.
Thank you.
I would like to have these two emails deleted [the personal information has been deleted],I no longer have the authenticator app but some of my apps are asking for the code numbers,I redownloaded the app but those numbers generated doesn't seem to work
I posted three messages about not being able to access my old account because it wont accept my recovery code from 2 Step Authemcation and wont accept the recovery code i put in correctly. I need to access my old account so i can manage the computers i use for freelance work. This is disgraceful customer service on the part of Teamviewer.
Dear @jimw81,
Thank you for your post.
Can you please provide the affected email address in a personal message to one of the moderators?
I've lost my recovery code on two factor, and my phone was wiped, please help to recover. This is not my account I am talking about since I cannot login to the community using my account. My account is [the personal information has been removed by a modrator]
i sent the infomation regarding the old email account infomation to several mods and havent received any responses yet.
Hi guys,
Thank you for your posts.
Can you please provide the affected email addresses within a personal message to a moderator?
Thanky in advance and all the best,
My account suddenly has issues with 2FA, and cant add 2FA to a new account i made. Is there somethign wrong with Google Authenticator?
Hello, I have a problem with my account. I activated the verification in two steps and I have lost the code of 16 letters that they give when activating it and I have lost the phone where I had the application that generated the codes.
How can I recover the account?
I have the same problem right now, can you help me? I can't pm you because I can't log in

Thanks in advance and all the best,
PM sent. Thanks!
I lost my OTP and recover key, so I can't access my account.
When 2018.11 ~ 12, I changed my phone device and executed factory reset.
After that, I can`t my teamviewer account because the account was binded with OTP.
(and I have not recoverey key.. Sorry.)
Would you delete my account?
[email removed by moderator]
So, what should I do?
Hi, I usually never lose my codes, but this time it's happened.
On my account I had the 2FA enabled with Google Auth. After a repair of my phone I'm not being able to get the codes again, and on the recovery phase I cannot put the recovery key simply because for some reason I lost it.
Is there a way to reset the account and/or delete it? I still have the password and the codes for every single device I connected to it.
The accoun was created with this email: [email removed], this is just a second account that I had to do to receive support.
Thank you,
I can't access my account since I lost my password and my two-factor code. I would like to know if there is a way to delete my account in order to set a new one with my email.
I have lost my app on my phone and i need a reset on my 2 factor please
Hey, i have same problem.
Affected email is [email removed]
Help, please)
I got a new phone, and didn't back up my reovery key. Can a mod help me delete my free account, so I can create a new one. It's under a different account than the one I'm using here to post this message. Thank you.
I'm having the same issue. I don't have access to the recovery code. How can I reset?
Can anyone help me please?
Basically the situation is this. A user recently replaced their phone and we are now unable to access their two factor authentication. Unfortunately the access key wasn't written down during account creation and the QR code wasn't printed. I am able to access the profile (by opening the management console) on the web but it is now asking for a security key that it doesn't look like we have access to either. Basically we are looking to get the QR code or a reset of the security key so we can use google authenticator again.
If anyone knows how to achieve this please let us know!
Hello, I've formatted my phone without removing the 2FA. I don't have neither the recovery code, so I cannot restore the 2FA.
Can you help me?
Thank you.
i add token teamview and use goggle auth... all time i try login in teamview and show error
The security code you entered was invalid. Please login again.
i need try 6...10..15 times for work..
and now i try remove this token in DISABLE but EVER show
The security code you entered was invalid.
i need remove this **bleep** the my account.. is bugged...
please help me

I have the same problem, how do I delete my account, after losing my 2FA authenticator?
I also cannot login to the forum because of this.
Please help me,
I need help as well in recovering/deleting my teamviewer account as I lost my recovery code.
Please let me know who I need to message as I try a couple of moderators but I keep on getting "One or more of these members do not have private messages enabled"
Recently, I got a new phone and transferred my google authenticator to it. For some reason, the authenticator codes are no longer working. I can't sign into my account to administor anything. Please help.
I had to create this temporary account just to post this :(
I had to wipe my phone recently to troubleshoot an issue. I do have my recovery code which worked the last time I got a new phone, but when attempting to deactive the 2FA it says the recovery code is invalid.
I have 2 accounts on different email adresses, 1 I cannot reach anymore because I lost my 2 factor authorisation and 1 cannot add any trusted sites because I don't receive the emails.
I would like to remove both these accounts and start allover again. Please contact me .
Hi @tinnus75
thank you for your post.

Welcome to MadModder!
Gee "I" thought I was.....?
Very nice Mr Drillin - rectangular headlights... I thought the Mk1 had 4 round lights, like the Mk3? Maybe I'm wrong... I know the Mk2 had square lights (like yours), I had a Mk2 ex BTCC for a while, although that had been modified to take round lights.
Now if i could find an RS3100!

Red Bean Soup
Red bean (also known as Azuki bean) soup has been loved by many Japanese, Korean and Chinese for centuries. It is also one of the most common after-diner dessert in Chinese restaurants. If you inquire about how the red bean soup is made, the waitress would give you a list of ingredients, and tell you to soak the beans overnight and boil it for hours and hours. Not anymore with Instant Pot! You could enjoy the mouth-watering red bean soup within an hour, including preparation.
Prepare Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: Around 55 minutes with Instant Pot Programmable Pressure cooker
Ingredients: 6 servings
- 2 cups of red beans
- 1/2 cup of dry lotus seeds, with the sprouts removed
- (Optional) 1/2 cup of dry chestnuts
- (Optional) 2 small pieces of dried mandarin or lemon peel, broken into tiny pieces
- 4 table spoon of sugar (change this amount depending how many sweet teeth you have)
- 8~12 cups of water, depending on whether you prefer thick or thinner soup
- Put all ingredients in the cooking pot
- Press "Bean/Chilli" function key, and press "Adjust" once to extend the cooking time
- When the cooking is done, stir well before serving
3 Responses to "Red Bean Soup"
I recommend a Pandan grass leaf in the pot and another 10 minutes of cooking along with letting the pot depressurize naturally. If you let the pressure off manually and open the pot, the beans aren't soft enough.

A blog to compile what I have learned (and what I am learning) about Mandriva (and GNU/Linux in general) since 2009, when I migrated. Current distros I'm using: OpenMandriva Lx 3.1 /3.0 Mageia 6, PCLinuxOS 2017.03, Fedora Workstation 27 (KDE spin), PicarOS, Pisi Linux 1, Elive beta, and AntiX 13.

Mandriva 2011 is here!
Mandriva now only supports KDE officially. For me, that's OK as I prefer to use KDE, but the other changes make me a little anxious. There is a revised installer, the RPM5 thing and, of course, the ROSA UI that is certainly beautiful but has both supporters and detractors. I guess I'd have to be counted in the latter group, but one never knows.
So, I'm right now donwloading and getting ready for testing. If someone with limited knowledge like me can handle the installation and the test drive, then the Mandriva team achieved their purpose.

Nice!! Does it come with the Oxygen theme? You should not use it...or your computer will start leaking! :P :P :PResponderEliminar
@Megatotoro: Oh dear. I never thought I'd see a bad chemistry joke on a Linux blog. I thought those puns were confined to my house!ResponderEliminar
All kidding aside, I know you've seen the article on my blog, but anyway, regarding RPM, I think it's a positive change because I've noticed that there are more packages for RHEL and openSUSE that are now compatible with Mandriva that were previously incompatible.

Despite announcing a new career in cyber security, fans of MTV's "The Hills" will still see Spencer Pratt up to his usual tricks and shenanigans when the reality show returns this spring.
On Monday, Spencer announced his new career in the war on tech terror as a founding member of American Defense Enterprises's Cyber-Secuity Division, but a rep for MTV told Access Hollywood that Spencer would be still be mixing it up with wife Heidi Montag, Audrina Patridge and Kristin Cavallari.
"Spencer will still be a part of 'The Hills' Season 6 which will air this spring," a MTV rep told Access.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, the reality star, known for his flesh-colored beard and love of new age crystals, said President Barack Obama inspired his new career with American Defense Enterprises's Cyber-Secuity Division.
"In the last few months, I, Spencer Pratt, have discovered a new passion and new purpose to my life. With this in mind, I have decided to take a break from my obligations to MTVs 'The Hills' and discontinue filming any more episodes for this current season," Spencer said in a statement to Access Hollywood on Monday. "Upon learning of President Obama's declaration that the 'cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation' I have decided to refocus my energy and devote my full resources to helping America face this and other unprecedented challenges."
In related news, Spencer's wife, Heidi Montag, fired Spencer as her manager last week. The starlet, who underwent 10 plastic surgery procedures in January, hired psychic Aiden Chase to oversee her career. She even declared that "Speidi" is no more.

Auditory verbal hallucinations, or "voices", afflict more than seventy per cent of individuals suffering from schizophrenia, and fifteen per cent of people with anxiety and mood disorders. The voices are unbidden and are distinctly different from inner speech, which all people experience daily. The inner voices of schizophrenia can be terrifying, self-deprecating, demeaning, vulgar, or intensely religious. The deeply felt belief that a higher authority is speaking to an individual is evident in a wide range of rituals across cultures throughout time, and when the voice commands individuals to harm themselves or others, extreme and dangerous behavior can result. A classic example is the voices of Saints that commanded Joan of Arc to battle. It is not uncommon for normal individuals to hear their name spoken in noisy environments, or for individuals to piece together indistinct sounds into a recognizable speech pattern.
Musical hallucinations often affect people suffering from hearing loss coupled with dementia. Some researchers believe that the enormous increase of music in our lives – from background music to the personal playlists that accompany many throughout the day - is leading to an increase in the phenomenon of musical hallucinations.
Auditory hallucinations – both speech and music – sometimes occur at, or, perhaps, trigger moments of intense insight or inspiration. Vladimir Nabokov wrote of his hypnagogic hallucinations. Robert Schumann transcribed some of his musical hallucinations believing that he was taking dictation from Franz Schubert. A hallucinatory voice formed the foundation of Rainer Maria Rilke greatest work.

Scam assistance
What to look for if you suspect you've received a scam email, phone or social media post from Qantas.
On this page
From time to time we are made aware of email scams and social media posts that claim to be authentic Qantas communications. These may ask customers to visit an external site and download a file or confirm customer details.
We will never ask customers to click a link to download a file about bookings from a website, including our own. We send important documents that relate to your booking as Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files that you can download directly.
Below are some examples of scams that have recently been sent out to customers. If you receive one of these emails we recommend you delete it immediately and do not open it or download the attachment.
You can also refer to our FAQs:
Scam phone calls or suspicious emails.
You can easily identify this as a scam by the following details:
- there is no reference to the customer name, booking reference or itinerary details
- the details show incorrect amounts paid for seat selection
- we never send you file attachments with seat selection fee receipts.
How to recognise an official Qantas e-ticket and itinerary:
- emails will have a PDF attachment, never a .zip file
- your booking reference and travel itinerary will be included
- our emails will come from a qantas.com.au email address.
Sometimes fake Qantas Facebook pages will make offers to the general public. Please disregard any offers or posts shared by these pages. We work with Facebook to ensure these pages and content are removed as quickly as possible. There is only one official Qantas Facebook page.
For more information about how you to protect yourself online, visit Stay Smart Online, an Australian Government website.
We are aware that some customers are receiving automated phone calls purporting to be from Qantas. These calls are not from us, and can easily be identified as unauthentic. Qantas consultants will always call customers directly to discuss their bookings and do not use an automated phone system when contacting customers proactively.
Recipients are advised not to provide personal details or respond to the automated prompts.
Scammers use a range of mechanisms, including "harvesting" programs that scour numerous sources on the Internet, to look for customer information. It is also often the case that the recipients of the scam are not customers of the company purporting to make the phone call - which is why individuals who are not necessarily Qantas customers might have also received a phone call.
You can report a scam and find more information at SCAMwatch.
We are aware some customers are receiving text messages that appear to be from Qantas, suggesting they have won a 'mystery box' prize.
These messages are not genuine and encourage customers to click on a link which requests personal information.
We advise recipients not to click on the link and not to provide any personal information in a response.
Unfortunately scammers can change sender ID names which makes it confusing for the recipient to recognise when a legitimate message has been sent and when it is a scam. These messages – because of the sender ID name – can then be grouped with genuine messages with Qantas.

The idea was to show Neolithic humans in their first domestication of sheep. This was to be for an article on wool. The archaeological evidence seemed to point toward a scenario where mouflon sheep were captured, penned in, and controlled.
After doing many thumbnail sketches, the art director and I agreed on a scene where two men are restraining a ram while the ewes are released from a cave. I made a little clay maquette of the scene (photo, inset) to work out the lighting, and then did a charcoal drawing of the light and dark masses.
Then I hired models come into the studio and had them pose for charcoal studies. I wanted to use the really old-school method of working from studies rather than photography. I also went to the Bronx zoo to do sketches of mouflon sheep.
The next step was to work up the scene in color. I was getting excited by the opportunities with lighting. The view expanded outward to show more of their camp, a kid with a lamb, some hunting trophies, and the far landscape vista.
But wait! The archaeologist and the magazine art staff had additional ideas. How about a dog, and an old man? Maybe we could show more of the fence and how it was made. I kept redrawing it.
Eventually the picture lost momentum. I think we all became conscious that this one picture was trying to accomplish too much. There were too many ideas in it. As Howard Pyle said, it is essential that a picture express just one idea. "If in making a picture you introduce two ideas, you weaken it by half—if three, it weakens by compound ratio—if four, the picture will be really too weak to consider at all and the human interest would be entirely lost."
Leon Bonnat's painting of Samson wrestling the lion really memorable.
Also, the editorial focus of the article changed, the layout space shrunk, and we decided to go with a completely different picture, showing the range of wool-bearing animals. National Geographic was a good client, and they paid me for the time I put into it.
Even though every picture is a labor of love, and you put everything into it, one has to be philosophical when this happens. This kind of abandoned work is fairly common when you work for clients that must balance a lot of different considerations, or that have a lot of decision-makers, or that are working with large financial stakes. Anyone who works in movie concept art and theme park design has similar stories.
Check out the new book on Howard Pyle, with my article on his thinking and process.
The wool-bearing animal picture appears on page 36-37 of Imaginative Realism

Donating Money to Green Charities
One simple way to care for the environment is simply to donate money to charity. If you're looking to give away some of your hard-earned income, whatever your eco-friendly ideals, there's sure to be a charity to match.
Some organizations that call themselves charities or nonprofits may in fact not be as charitable or nonprofit as you expect. You want as much of your money as possible going to the cause you're supporting rather than to administration or salary costs of the organization. In addition, make sure that your aid gets to the people it's designed to help — that food aid for developing nations is reaching those who are starving, for example, and not being siphoned off by officials or middlemen in those nations.
To make sure that the charity you're interested in is legitimate and worthwhile, do the following:
Call the charity or nonprofit's head office to find out how much of the money you give ends up invested in the project you pick and how much goes to administrative or fundraising costs. The Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance recommends that at least 65 percent of total charity expenses should go to program service activities rather than administration. Charities regularly report this information in annual reports and to potential donors; if a charity isn't willing to share this information with you, don't donate to it.
Search news stories about a charity's work. Try Internet searches for the organization's name to find news stories about its work.
Seek independent advice about the charity. Turn to the Charity Navigator and your local Better Business Bureau (including the BBB's Wise Giving Alliance).
Just because an organization is a registered charity with the IRS doesn't mean that every donation is tax-deductible. Always ask before you donate.

Why Celebrities Don't Deserve Our Love or Money (part 1 of many)
In a world of Paris Hilton, Lauren Conrad, and Kim Kardashian, it's obvious that many celebrities do not deserve the admiration they receive. More and more, the American star system is promoting people like the Star Wars Kid, Chris Crocker, and Tila Tequila. At first, this seems to imply that the star system is being perverted by these exhibitionists and characters of intrigue. Upon closer inspection it is not that the new stars are perverting what was once a wholesome and legitimate community. Rather, the recent events created by digital media implicate and expose the star system as the sham it always has been. In other words, new/digital media proves that talent is the least important thing in pursuit of fame.
New digital technology makes production of all kinds more affordable and therefore more available. In the past, it would be impossible to film yourself and broadcast to the entire world. Now
this process can be achieved for the price of a webcam and a computer. For example, if someone does not like how Brittany Spears is being treated, they can post a video and become a celebrity themselves (Chris Crocker).
Most American households have at least one computer and most new computers have built in web cams so the process of international broadcasting is free. It takes a moment of contemplation to fully wrap one's mind around this concept. Within minutes, anyone can broadcast whatever they want to the entire population of the world… for free.
In the past, it was expensive to film talent and a very select population had access to this privilege. Once the talent was filmed it was even more expensive to distribute. This meant making an abundance of copies of the media. In some cases it was film, in other cases video tapes or audio tapes not to mention the freight costs of shipping these items to various studios and television stations across the world. The entire process was incredibly expensive. Digital media also allows duplication of information very easily. Since digital signatures are simply recoded information, that information can be easily duplicated. One file can be copied millions of times with zero degradation to the image or audio quality. Digital media can spread like a virus which is where the term "viral continent" comes from. In other cases, digital media does not have to be duplicated but posted in a public forum such as http://www.youtube.com. The end result is an unprecedented access to the content that is now produced for such little money. In other words, there is an incredible amount of content and endless access to that content. What this means for the world is that anyone can be a celebrity, not just the lucky few. On one hand, digital media provides a venue for undiscovered talent to get the exposure they deserve. Unfortunately more often than not, the cheap production and easy distribution is exploited by the celebrity industry. "Talents" like Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and others can drop a sex tape online and become household names overnight. Do these people deserve less credit than the talents of old?
In the old days, celebrities became famous for a variety of reasons – more often than not celebrities were inbreeds. Tori Spelling (the ugly girl on 90210) became famous because her father was the producer of 90210. Nicolas Cage's actual name is Nicolas Coppola and is Francis Ford Coppola's nephew (don't forget about Sophia). Jake Gyllenhaal's parents were producer/writer Naomi Foner and director Stephen Gyllenhaal. Conan O'Brien is related to Dennis Leary. Sean Astin (the Goonies and The Lord of the Rings) is Mackenzie Astin's (The Facts of Life) brother and John Astin (Gomez on The Addams Family) and Patty Duke are their parents. Jennifer Aniston is John Aniston's daughter (Days of our Lives). Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty are brother and sister. Melanie Griffith is Tippi Hedren's daughter. Oliver Platt, Princess Diana, and Orson Welles are all related. It seems as though everyone in Hollywood is family – if they are not related to someone directly in entertainment, they are connected somehow. Believe it or not, Tom Hanks is related to Abraham Lincoln – no joke. Still don't believe it? How about this test: I say the last names Fonda, Bridges, and Sutherland. Who is being addressed here? There are too many to choose from and yes, they are all related! Most people believe that the actors on the silver screen are the best actors around. That is simply not the case. The folks on the silver screen are merely the best entertainers that are related somehow to other entertainers. Today's celebrity population is contrived in another way.
Enter Tila Tequila. She was selected as a celebrity simply because she's hot and her MySpace page was scandalous. Not so different from the sex tape celebrities, Tila Tequila has relatively no talent and no
reason to be celebrated as a "talent." None the less she has been propelled to stardom. The question is: by whom? The answer is simple. Anytime there is an opportunity for someone to make money, they will lie cheat and steal to get it done. MySpace (therefore NewsCorp) makes money off Tila Tequila, and now Playboy, Penthouse, Maxim, etc have hopped on the Benjamin-lined band-wagon. They saw a terrific opportunity to make money and they did. It's possible to get everything from Tila Tequila songs and videos to Tila Tequila clothing and underwear. This is someone who was plucked out of nowhere and made an international phenomenon. The celebrity system today operates like a cooperate fairground grabber. The industry has gotten so good at artificially creating talent through technology and marketing, they don't even need talent anymore. Take the American Idol meat puppets for example.
Advancements in technology and digital media allow mass audiences to interact with the television show creating almost a "choose your own adventure" type of reality. VIA the internet and phone lines viewers are empowered to eliminate contestants on the show. From a marketing prospective, it's the masses telling the producers whose album they are most likely to buy; that way the producers don't have to guess who to push into the marketplace. American Idol is an enormous "product survey" for the record producers. Audiences feel ownership over the winner because they helped "make" them. They feel more of a personal relationship with those artists than with the ones that have been more blatantly marketed to them so they are more likely to want to "support the artist" and purchase the CD. The producers have no problem with this whatsoever naturally. The question becomes this: is Carrie Underwood more talented than the acoustic guitar player at your local coffee shop?
American Idol is glorified Karaoke. The performers need only one thing: a good voice. The vast majorities of American Idol contestants have never written a song and probably don't even play any instruments. Throughout the duration of the show, they will not write their own songs, and they will not play their own instruments. None the less American Idol winners are some of the most broadcast artists. Meanwhile folks like the acoustic guitar player at your local coffee shop will probably never hit the radio waves. So if American Idol contestants really can't do much, to what do we attribute their success? Welcome back digital media!
Commercial songwriters today are broken into two teams of people. One team writes the lyrics and the other team writs the music. Most of them are probably incredibly creative and talented but too unattractive to become stars themselves. As a result, they've agreed to sell their souls for tons of money. They write songs and give them to artists (not just the American Idol winners, by the way). Unfortunately most of them operate as ghost writers (for even more money) so we may never know which Stars deserve it and which stars are money making manipulations. Digital media is re-introduced into the equation with the presence of MIDI files. Think of MIDI files as digital sheet music. When a musician plays any instrument or sings any song, they sing on a timeline. Each note they hit is placed at a particular point in time and with varying levels of volume. MIDI files memorize digital signatures of when and how loud notes were struck. In other words, if a pianist was playing a keyboard that was recording MIDI information, the computer would log exactly when a note was played, and exactly how hard the key was struck. Later, the musician can take this file and open the timeline. When he or she does this, a timeline will open with dots and lines indicating the keystrokes. The pianist can then click on the dots and lines and move them around, manipulating the performance. This means that if the pianist accidently hits a note a few seconds too soon, they can simply go into the MIDI file and move the note back into place. If the pianist decides he or she should have played that note an octave higher or a bit louder – no problem; then note can simply be edited. MIDI files allow even terrible musicians to record tracks in perfection.
Utilizing MIDI files, the artist can go far beyond just correcting performance mistakes. Notes can be completely added. Perhaps the pianist can't play a blues riff. No problem – the musician can click in the MIDI timeline and indicate where a note would need to be, and how loud the computer should play it. Remember also that MIDI files are only recording when in time the note was struck, and how hard the note was struck – not the actual instrument that was used to strike these notes. In other words, a pianist can record a banjo solo on his or her keyboard, take it into the MIDI file, and simply apply a sampled banjo sound to the MIDI track. It is possible for a musician to record an entire album complete with everything from a full string section to a didgeridoo and not know how to play a single instrument.
I don't mean to imply that the American Idol and music celebrities of our time sit at their computers and manipulate MIDI files all day; most of them probably wouldn't be able to describe a MIDI file to you if their life depended on it. Any musician that has any amount of monetary value has entire staffs of people writing their lyrics, and MIDI files. All they really have to do is look pretty, and try to stay on pitch. The rest of the music writing, recording, and performing will be taken care of for them by the massive staff of people who are in charge of keeping them commercial.
Digital media can be used for good, and it can be used for evil. It can be used to create exposure for undiscovered talent, and it can be used to create an illusion of talent in people who have no business in entertainment. At the end of the day artists sadly must take a back seat to money. Digital media is shedding light on our celebrity industry but even more frightening is what it says about American interests. If the masses truly wanted to see talent that is what would rise to the top of the digital media arenas and that is what would be bought up by the conglomerates. Unfortunately talent is crushed by sex, scandal, and just plain hot bodies.
So the kid with a great voice at the local coffee shop is probably more talented than 80% of the celebrities out there but will probably never be noticed. The actress at the local community college is probably a better actress than Angelina Jolie but she's not related to John Vought so nobody will ever notice her either. If the money makers never notice these individuals, that's one thing. Even worse, the public probably won't give them due credit either. Brainwashing of the masses is nothing new. Most people know that television commercials are persuasive. Many people will even acknowledge that simply watching television and fast forwarding the commercials still subjects them to persuasion. A sickly few individuals are aware of the enormous business of "celebrity." The conglomerates are working to propel individuals into name brands for no other reason than to slap a price tag on them and hurry them into the marketplace. Fortunately, the internet will hopefully prove to people that there is nothing special about celebrities and there probably never was. We are encouraged to care about celebrities for no other reason than to be convinced that they deserve our money. It's vital for the preservation of art in this country that we look to one another as talented individuals. It's significantly important; we MUST stop idolizing and worshiping celebrities – they do not deserve our love. The kid at the local coffee shop does.

text: Louisiana Representative John Labruzzo is a unique problem solver. Recognizing that generational poverty is a problem for many people in his state, he's dispensed with the usual solutions of education, training, access to reduced- or low-cost family planning or any normal poverty-reduction programs in favor of paying poor people to get sterilized. What? It could significantly eliminate generational poverty by eliminating generations! Anyway, when he was called upon to defend his shitty idea, he blamed it all on the media blowing it up for ratings' sake, even as he successfully danced around blaming it all on black people. I dunno, I can think of one person who probably ought to refrain from breeding. He's named "John LaBruzzo." [Think Progress, Feministing]

ISTANBUL, Turkey, April 2 (UPI) -- Syria Monday dismissed the efforts of dozens of countries to help rebels fighting the regime of President Bashar Assad.
At the "Friends of Syria" conference of 83 countries and international organizations in Istanbul, Turkey, Arab nations, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, pledged $100 million to pay opposition fighters, known as the Free Syrian Army, in the hope the money would encourage soldiers loyal to Assad to defect, officials said.
The United States pledged to send communications equipment and humanitarian assistance for international organizations aiding the Syrian opposition, bringing the U.S. total to $25 million, the State Department said. The Syrian National Council, the main opposition alliance, said U.S. support would include night-vision goggles.
The moves suggest officials meeting as the "Friends of Syria" increasingly believe mediation efforts by U.N. peace envoy Kofi Annan had failed to stop the violence and more forceful action was necessary, The New York Times said.
A day after the pledges of aid, the official al Baath newspaper in Syria said, "Despite all the hype, the conference of the 'Enemies of Syria' produced only meager results, showing it was unable to shake Syrians' rejection of foreign intervention."
The Syrian newspaper labeled the conference "another failure."
Russia and China, at the Istanbul conference, blocked U.N. measures that could pave the way to military action, and there is no consensus on arming the rebels because of uncertainly over who would receive the arms, the Times said.
The satellite communications equipment being sent by the United States "will help activists organize, evade attacks by the regime and connect to the outside world," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said at the Istanbul conference.
"We are discussing with our international partners how best to expand this support," Clinton told the group, which seeks to find a solution to the Syrian crisis outside the U.N. Security Council, after Russia and China vetoed a council resolution on Syria.
"We would like to see a stronger Free Syrian Army," Syrian National Council Chairman Burhan Ghalioun, a Syrian political sociology professor at Paris' New Sorbonne University, told the world leaders and other officials at the Sunday conference. "All of these responsibilities should be borne by the international community.
"This is high noon for action," he said.
An official Syrian newspaper cited by the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph said Saudi Arabia was already plotting to "arm the terrorists, encourage the bloodbath and destroy infrastructure."
Saudi Arabia had no comment Sunday.
Syria announced last week it accepted a six-point peace plan being promoted by Annan, a former U.N. secretary-general acting on behalf of the United Nations and the Arab League.
But Assad then demanded the "armed terrorist groups" he claims are supported by an Arab-Western "conspiracy" disarm first.
Since then, the regime has begun new assaults in Idlib and Aleppo provinces, killing hundreds, including at least 35 rebels, soldiers and civilians Sunday, opposition groups said.
"Nearly a week has gone by, and we have to conclude that the regime is adding to its long list of broken promises," Clinton told the conference as pro-Assad protesters demonstrated outside.
"The world must judge Assad by what he does, not by what he says," she said. "And we cannot sit back and wait any longer."
The Annan peace plan, backed by the U.N. Security Council, proposes a cease-fire, possibly monitored by U.N. observers, followed by "Syrian-led" negotiations to settle the crisis, with free access for aid agencies and the media.
It does not call for Assad's resignation.
Annan, who did not attend the Istanbul conference, was to brief the Security Council's 15 members in New York Monday on whether he has seen any progress toward carrying out his proposals.
"What some countries are saying is, 'If the Annan process does not work, we are going to have to look at arming the opposition,'" British Foreign Secretary William Hague said in Istanbul, adding Britain would not be among the countries arming the opposition.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the host of Sunday's meeting, called on the Security Council to act, saying Damascus was using its ostensible embrace of Annan's initiative to buy time.
"If the Security Council hesitates, there will be no option left except to support the legitimate right of the Syrian people to defend themselves," he said.
"They are not alone," he said of the opposition. "They will never be alone."
The Istanbul conference called on Annan to "determine a timeline" for the next steps in Syria, "including a return to the U.N. Security Council, if the killing continues."

The blog Faded & Blurred which recently posted a really nice article about my photography, also just interviewed me for their podcast series. Jeffery came up with some thoughtful questions, and I like how our conversation covered topics not often discussed in typical interviews. It is also worth mentioning I make a pretty big announcement part way through the interview. It wasn't necessarily something I was planning on talking about just yet, but it made sense in the context of our discussion and I think the time is right. That is all I will say about it for now. You are going to have to listen for yourself to find out the details. Thanks for listening, I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you to Jeffery Saddoris for his support and interest in my work. Here is the link to the interview.

Oxford Networks phone company in Maine eliminates 12 positions
LEWISTON[, Maine (AP) � Oxford Networks says it's eliminating a dozen positions due to company restructuring and changing technology needs of its customers.
The Lewiston-based company's president and CEO, Craig Gunderson, says restructuring is a necessary part of its transformation from a traditional telephone company to a full-service technology provider.
Gunderson says employees whose jobs are being eliminated will receive a severance package, career counseling and assistance with resume writing and job applications. The eliminated positions represent less than 10 percent of the company's overall workforce of 134 employees.
The 113-year-old telecommunications company says it expects to add new jobs in the future as it continues to grow by offering increasingly sophisticated technology to customers throughout northern New England and beyond.

Navy ship rescues pair from dinghy
A Royal Navy warship on its way to the Mediterranean has rescued two sailors after their dinghy capsized a mile-and-a-half from land.
The two men, thought to be aged in their late 20s, got into difficulties as they sailed around the island of Ailsa Craig off the Ayrshire coast yesterday afternoon.
Their Wayfarer dinghy capsized in moderate seas and the locker compartment flooded, leaving them unable to right the boat.
One of the men used his mobile phone to call a friend who is a member of the Campbeltown RNLI crew, who in turn alerted Belfast's Coastguard station.
Mine-hunter HMS Blyth , which was about three miles away, responded to the coastguard's call for assistance at about 3pm.
When it arrived at the scene it launched its sea boat to recover the two men, who were cold but otherwise uninjured.
Lieutenant Commander Mark Redmayne, commanding officer of HMS Blyth, said: "As soon as we got the call from the coastguard at about 3pm, we responded by deploying my ship's company as lookouts. Soon after, one of our diving team spotted the lads on the upturned dinghy. It was very fortuitous that we were passing at the right place, at the right time, considering we are on our way to the Mediterranean.
"They were recovered by our sea boat and looked like a pair of drowned rats. They had been clinging to the boat in the water for about 60 minutes but once aboard HMS Blyth we were able to offer them a shower and some overalls to wear."
The two men had set out from Largs yesterday for a two-day sailing trip and planned to sail around Ailsa Craig in the 16ft dinghy before staying the night at Lamlash on Arran.
The Girvan lifeboat Sylvia Burrell took the two men back to the mainland.
The warship was travelling from her base port at Faslane for a three-month Nato deployment to the Mediterranean.
Ailsa Craig is renowned for its seabird population, supporting 73,000 breeding seabirds.
Granite from the island is used to make curling stones.

The full SDK shown here is absolute overkill for most every rooter. Windows drivers are in the post after that. All credit for this goes to scary alien! Go click the Thanks button on one of his posts to show your appreciation. (LOL, El Presidente, just saw this (12/25/2011)...you are too kind, sir! Thank you for that nice note...SA) The adb (Android Debug Bridge) is a useful utility, often used for root-related operations. To use the adb utility, you'll need to: 1. install the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) and its platform-tools package 2. for Windows PCs, you'll need to have the adb USB device drivers specific to your Android device; for Apples Macs, this is not a stumbling block, but often is for Windows machines; finding and installing the adb USB device drivers for Windows is beyond the scope of this tutorial, please see post #4 below Details and options for installing the Android SDK and the adb utility follow below: Manual / Standard Method Spoiler - download the Android SDK from here: Android SDK | Android Developers - choose the download package for your particular platform - if you are using Windows and chose the .exe installer, you'll be prompted to select a Destination folder (for example, the c:\android-sdk-windows folder) Spoiler -if you are not using Windows or downloaded a .zip or .tgz package, extract the android-sdk_r##-windows.zip to a new folder or the top of the C:\ drive; if you use Winzip or WinRAR, you can do an "Extract Here" and the files will be extracted to the c:\android-sdk-windows folder - either run "tools\android.bat" from the Windows Command (DOS) prompt or double-check the "tools\android.bat" from Windows Explorer; here's the screen that will be displayed: Spoiler - when the "Android SDK and AVD Manager" launches, click on the "Available packages" entry in the left-hand pane/column. Spoiler - click on the arrow that's to the left of the "Android Repository" line to expand the list of packages available for download Spoiler - check the box to the left of "Android SDK Platform-tools, revision #" Spoiler - click on the "Install Selected" button at the bottom right of the window Spoiler - another window will be displayed, showing the package(s) that you've selected to install; go ahead and click the "Install" button Spoiler - the Android SDK Platform-tools will now be installed (progress will be shown) Spoiler - click the "Close" button when the package is finished installing Spoiler - the "adb.exe" utility will have now been installed in the "c:\android-sdk-windows/platform-tools" folder - the complete, current documentation for the (adb) Android Debug Bridge can be found here: Android Debug Bridge | Android Developers - before you can actually use the adb utility with your Android device, you'll need to turn on USB debugging on your Android device - launch the Settings application and navigate to Applications -> Development and make sure the checkbox for USB debugging is selected/checked Spoiler - connect your Android device to your PC using the appropriate USB cable - to use the adb utility, start a Windows Command Prompt (DOS window) and change (cd) to the platform-tools directory under the Android SDK's installation folder (i.e., where the adb.exe utility resides); here are some sample commands: Code (Text): # first, change our directory to where adb.exe is installed # c:\> [B][COLOR=Blue]cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools[/COLOR][/B] # # test to see if the adb daemon can communicate with our Android device: # c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> [B][COLOR=blue]adb devices[/COLOR][/B] # # display the help for the adb utility # c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> [B][COLOR=blue]adb help[/COLOR][/B] # # open a shell session on our Android device # c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> [B][COLOR=blue]adb shell[/COLOR][/B] # # list the files in the Android device's /sdcard folder # c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> [B][COLOR=blue]adb shell ls -a -l /sdcard[/COLOR][/B] # # install the "android-app.apk" application to the Android device # c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> [B][COLOR=blue]adb install android-app.apk[/COLOR][/B] # # retrieve a file from the Android device to the local PC # c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> [B][COLOR=blue]adb pull /sdcard/downloads/myfile.txt myfile.txt[/COLOR][/B] # # send a file from the local PC to the Android device # c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> [B][COLOR=blue]adb push myfile.txt /sdcard/downloads/myfile2.txt[/COLOR][/B] # # display the Android device's system log (press control-C key # combo to terminate) # c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> [B][COLOR=blue]adb logcat[/COLOR][/B] If you have problems establishing a connection via adb (i.e., "adb devices" does not "see" your Android device), its likely you forgot to enable USB debugging or you do not have the adb USB drivers properly installed. Don't worry, you won't be the first or last to have had either of these problems. Please consult with the experts in your device's all-things-root sub-forum for help in identifying and installing the proper adb USB drivers. Mini-SDK (contains adb and fastboot utilities for Windows, Mac, and Linux) Please see the next post in this thread for the Mini-SDK. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- How to update your PATH environment variable to include adb and your Java installation (courtesy of txwolf1980) Spoiler Note: This will vary from OS to OS. This guide is for Windows 7. 1. After you have installed SDK, make a note of where it is installed (I have mine directly on the root of the C\: drive, for simplicity). Then click your start button, and right click 'computer'. 2. Click properties 3. On the left pane, click "advanced system settings" 4. Click "environment variables" on the pop up that comes up 5. Next, look on the second pane in the second pop up that shows up (system variables) and scroll down to path. 6. Highlight it, and click on "edit" 7. Move the cursor to the end of the text, making sure you don't delete anything, and add a semi-colon. Next, without any spaces type the following, modified to your computer. C:\android\android-windows-sdk\platform-tools Now, since I have mine set directly on my C\: drive, there is no other folder in there. But, if you have yours set up in your Program Files folder, it would look something like this C:\program files\android\android-windows-sdk\platform-tools As I said, you need to modify the PATH you enter to fit your computer. The next step is to do the same with Java. So, add the semi-colon, then the path. In my case it's C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin\java.exe Unless you've changed the directory, it will probably be similar for you. But, make sure of the version you are running. Once you have set the new paths, click ok, then OK on the enviornment variables window, and apply on the system properties window. At this point, you no longer have to cd to platform-tools to use adb or java. This also allows you to use 3rd party script tools such as apk manager. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope that helps!

The Harvard men's volleyball team fell to 2-1 Thursday (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Harvard men's volleyball suffered its first defeat of 2011 Thursday night, as Cal Baptist downed the Crimson, 3-0. Harvard drops to 2-1, while the Lancers improved to 8-3.
Cal Baptist, the AVCA NAIA Division No. 1, jumped out to an early 12-8 lead in the first set, forcing a Crimson timeout. The stop in play failed to halt the Lancers momentum as they would build an 11-point cushion at 24-13. Cal Baptist would only give up one more point before taking the first set, 25-14.
The second set proved to be much of the same as the Lancers converted six services aces. Cal Baptist would take the second set 25-12. Errors were a major contributor to Harvard's offensive inefficiency as it committed 15 attack errors in the first two sets.
Harvard found its ground in the third set, tallying nine kills, but Cal Baptist countered with 12 of its own and six more services aces. The Lancers took the winning set, 25-15. Levi Cabral led Cal Baptist with 10 kills in the match.
A total of 13 receiving errors also plagued the Crimson which lost its first match of the 2011 season. Harvard will look to bounce back Saturday evening as AVCA Division III No. 7 MIT heads to the Malkin Athletic Center for a 7 p.m. match.

Patrick Steptoe (1913-88) and Robert Edwards (1925-)
Louise Brown came kicking and screaming into the world on 28 July 1978. Her birth was a landmark in reproductive medicine. She was known as the world's first 'test-tube baby', the first child born as a result of in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The technique was developed by two British researchers: gynaecologist Patrick Steptoe and physiologist Robert Edwards. IVF remains a major infertility treatment. Over the last 30 years it has resulted in more than 3 million births worldwide.
Both Steptoe and Edwards worked in the field of reproductive health before their collaboration in 1966, and were especially interested in problems of human fertility. Edwards had developed a way to fertilise human eggs within the laboratory; Steptoe had perfected a method for obtaining human eggs from the ovaries using a laparoscope, a long, thin telescopic instrument. Combining these skills enabled them to produce mature eggs at the optimum time to improve chances for successful fertilisation and development.
The pair were accused of meddling with nature, like Gregory Pincus before them. Criticism continued after the birth of Louise Brown. However, the technique spread and the number of babies born by IVF rapidly increased. Steptoe and Edwards were showered with awards. IVF gave hope to women who would otherwise have remained childless, though it is still controversial. It is highly interventionist, and can be painful and expensive. Success rates remain low.

Topic Page: Berbers
aboriginal Caucasoid peoples of N Africa, called Imazighen in the Tamazight language. They inhabit the lands lying between the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea and between Egypt and the Atlantic Ocean. The Berbers form a substantial part of the populations of Algeria, Morocco, Libya, and Tunisia; many persons of Berber descent have been thoroughly Arabized and their Berber heritage has often been lost or is not acknowledged, especially in Tunisia. Except for the nomadic Tuareg, the Berbers traditionally were small farmers, living under a loose tribal organization in independent villages with local industries (iron, copper, lead, pottery, weaving, and embroidery). The Berbers are Sunni Muslims, and their native languages are Afroasiatic languages, but most literate Berbers also speak Arabic, the language of their religion. Berber languages are spoken by about 12 million people, not all of whom are considered ethnic Berbers.
Despite a history of conquests, the Berbers retained a remarkably homogeneous culture, which, on the evidence of Egyptian tomb paintings, derives from earlier than 2400 B.C. The alphabet of the only partly deciphered ancient Libyan inscriptions is close to the script still used by the Tuareg. The origins of the Berbers are uncertain, although many theories have been advanced relating them to the Canaanites, the Phoenicians, the Celts, the Basques, and the Caucasians. In classical times the Berbers formed such states as Mauretania and Numidia.
Until their conquest in the 7th cent. by Muslim Arabs, most of the Berbers were Christian (also, a sizable minority had accepted Judaism), and many heresies of the early African church, particularly Donatism, were essentially Berber protests against the rule of Rome. Under the Arabs, the Berbers became Islamized and soon formed the backbone of the Arab armies that conquered Spain. However, the Berbers repeatedly rose against the Arabs, and in the 9th cent. they supported the Fatimid dynasty in its conquest of N Africa.
After the Fatimids withdrew to Egypt, N Africa was plunged into an anarchy of warring Berber tribes that ended only when the Berber dynasties, the Almoravids and the Almohads, were born. Each of these dynasties succeeded in pushing back Christian kingdoms which had pushed south against the fragmented Moors. With the disintegration of these dynasties, the Berbers of the plains were gradually absorbed by the Arabs, while those who lived in inaccessible mountain regions, such as the Aurès, the Kabylia, the Rif, and the Atlas, retained their culture and warlike traditions. When the French and the Spanish occupied much of N Africa, it was the Berbers of these mountainous regions who offered the fiercest resistance. In more recent times the Berbers, especially those of the Kabylia, assisted in driving the French from Algeria. Contemporary relations between Berbers and Arabs are sometimes tense, particularly in Algeria, where Berbers rebelled (1963–65) against Arab ruled and have demonstrated and rioted against Arab discrimination.
