What Munich's startup ecosystem has to offer
Munich's success factors for startups
Munich has a dynamic and extremely well connected startup community. All the latest news from the city's startup landscape is documented online at munich-startup.de, Munich's official startup portal for the city and surrounding region.
One very visible face of Munich's startup community is its annual Bits & Pretzels congress, which, in the space of just a few years, has flourished and grown into a three-day startup festival attracting 5,000 participants from Germany and abroad.
Munich's local government, the Free State of Bavaria and an array of chambers are hard at work to give startups the infrastructure they need. With the Technical University of Munich (TUM) leading the way, the city's institutes of higher education have anchored entrepreneurship in their courses of study, and have so far been highly successfully in helping students and graduates launch new businesses.
The first port of call is the Munich Business Startup Office (MEB), an initiative run jointly by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for Munich and Upper Bavaria and the City of Munich itself, which provides solid, free advice on starting a business. Both city and state also invest substantially in weaving high-quality networks for startups and entrepreneurs. Meetups, conferences, industry get-togethers and a host of events regularly bring the Munich startup community together.
The Bavarian capital likewise boasts plenty of funding support, even though some observers would like to see more. Accelerators and incubators assist with financing rounds and put firms in touch with VC firms and business angels.
Munich's startup ecosystem at a glance
- German startup association Bundesverband Deutsche Startups e.V. counted some 700 startups in Munich in 2015.¹
- Munich is one of the six hotspots for startups in Germany.²
- Startups all over the country expect only four of these hotspots to gain in importance: Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Berlin.³
- Startups in Munich have an exceptionally international flavor: The Bavarian capital boasts the highest share of foreign startup entrepreneurs (9.9% from elsewhere in the EU/5.9% from outside the EU).²
- Munich has the most self-funded startups (26.2%).²
- Munich has more founding teams (81.1%) than any other city in Germany. Teams often enjoy greater economic success: If you start a business with partners, you can balance out technical and business shortcomings, tap more equity and impress investors with a variety of skills.
- Nine out of ten Munich startups attest to a positive startup climate in the region. 62% praise its broadband expansion and high-speed Internet connectivity (against a national average of only 40%).³
- Startups in Munich are more optimistic than their peers in other German cities: Four out of five Munich startups expect revenues to increase, and two thirds are keen to recruit new staff.³
- Knowledge transfer works better in Munich: 20% of Munich startups cooperate with scientific institutes, compared to a national average of just 16%.3
Benefits in every startup phase
Munich's robust support and proven structures cover all three of the startup phases that experts identify. The stated aim of everyone involved is to continually optimize these structures in line with current developments. The result? Startups in Munich are quick off the blocks, can grow healthily and become firmly established.
From the perspective of digitalization, too, Munich's standing as a high-tech region delivers crucial advantages.

|Database Pool Deploy Failing
|Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:29:47 GMT
Hi, I'm trying to deploy a database connection pool in Geronimo 2.1 running on linux under JDK 1.6. I'm setting up a basic connection pool for PostgreSQL 8.1.x and had the Database Pool Wizard download the appropriate driver. I then set up the database parameters and performed a successful connection test. However, when I deploy the connection pool using a database pool name of "jdbc/PoolName" (without the quotes), I get the following error: Error Deploying: Unable to deploy: jdbc/PoolName - see the log for details When I checked the log files, I don't see any reason why the deployment failed. After, changing the log level to DEBUG and attempting the deployment once again, I produced the following log file: 05:20:41,397 DEBUG [AuthenticatorBase] Calling hasUserDataPermission() 05:20:41,397 DEBUG [AuthenticatorBase] Calling authenticate() 05:20:41,397 DEBUG [FormAuthenticator] Already authenticated 'system' 05:20:41,398 DEBUG [AuthenticatorBase] Calling accessControl() 05:20:41,398 DEBUG [AuthenticatorBase] Successfully passed all security constraints 05:20:41,404 DEBUG [ManagerBase] Start expire sessions StandardManager at 1208946041404 sessioncount 0 05:20:41,405 DEBUG [ManagerBase] End expire sessions StandardManager processingTime 1 expired sessions: 0 05:20:41,477 DEBUG [CoyoteAdapter] Requested cookie session id is 9A814535D7EC3D4C18A908B6DD34C6B2 05:20:41,477 DEBUG [AuthenticatorBase] Security checking request GET /console/favicon.ico 05:20:41,477 DEBUG [AuthenticatorBase] We have cached auth type FORM for principal org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.JAASTomcatPrincipal@1fc6f6a 05:20:41,477 DEBUG [AuthenticatorBase] Not subject to any constraint 05:20:41,545 INFO [SupportedModesServiceImpl] Portlet mode 'edit' not found for portletId: '/system-database.DBWizard!1134683811|0' It seems like I'm doing this correctly, am I missing something obvious?

Portland Cello Project's cover of Beck's Song Reader song, Old Shanghai.
I love the participatory nature of this project- here's (part of) what Beck had to say about it in the New Yorker:
I thought a lot about the risks of the inherent old-timeyness of a songbook. I know I have friends who will dismiss it as a stylistic indulgence, a gimmick. There's a way of miniaturizing and neutralizing the past, encasing it in a quaint, retro irrelevancy and designating it as something only fit for curiosity-seekers or revivalists. But although the present moment can exclude the past from relevance, it can't erase its influence entirely. Each era finds something new to return to; things that seemed out of date have a way of coming back in new forms, and revealing aspects of themselves we might not have noticed before. I think there's something human in sheet music, something that doesn't depend on technology to facilitate it—it's a way of opening music up to what someone else is able to bring to it. That instability is what ultimately drew me to this project.Read the rest of the article at The New Yorker.
Speaking of what you bring to it - here's a version of the same song played by staffers for The New Yorker - I love that it's a little more living room ramshackle. To me that's the beauty of the project - there's room for interpretation. For multiple interpretations. It's communal and you're invited to sing along.

And yet, even with all the alternative frameworks, patterns, and cloud services that have become available over the years, even new systems can't seem to escape their big ball of mud fate. But, there is another option available – just as challenging, but with a much brighter future. Organizations that can transform their technology, teams, management, and business will be the ones that own that future. While there's no "cookie-cutter" approach to this transformation, Udi has some do's and don'ts that will keep you from going astray.

The number of workers not receiving their superannuation payments from employers is on the rise.
The rip-off may amount to as much as $6 billion annually which means some workers will be earning thousands of dollars less in retirement than they would have if properly paid.
It's long been a point of frustration for me and affected employees alike.
Under current laws, it's just too hard to pursue offending bosses.
But the rise of the problem has given the issue more prominence.
So much so that the major political parties now agree on methods for fixing the problem.
They include allowing the Tax Commissioner, in cases where employers fail to comply with their superannuation guarantee obligations, to issue directions to pay unpaid superannuation guarantee.
But sadly, the changes are part of a package of superannuation bills which contain other measures not acceptable to the Parliament.
Among them is an amnesty for non-paying employers.
The government should carve-out the changes the parties agree on and leave the other fights for another day.
Unpaid super is too important an issue to be left caught up in other fights.
Given we all agree, let's fix it now.
The Singleton Local Government Area remains locked-out of the federal government's Drought Communities Grants Program.
While we welcome the assistance in the Muswellbrook Shire, there is no argument that Singleton is not just as deserving.
Meanwhile, the NSW Government recently announced funding to assist child-care centres in drought affected areas.
I'm still chasing information about who is in and who is out, but I do know centres in Branxton and Greta are among those who have benefited.
While I'm happy for the successful groups, how is it that the NSW Government believes groups further down the valley are worthy of drought support while the federal government says Singleton is not worthy?
No wonder people are losing faith in politics!
Australia Day nominations are now open at most councils.
So, if you know of someone doing something great in the community, consider them for a well-deserved award.

A Massive 1,100-Foot-Wide Asteroid Is On Course To Pass By Earth In A Decade
NASA revealed that a massive asteroid will pass close to Earth within the same distance as spacecraft that orbit the planet on Friday, April 13, 2029. The 1,100-foot-wide space rock named 99942 Apophis will shoot across our sky like a "moving star-like point of light", appearing brighter and faster. On April 13, 2029, at 19,000 miles above the earth's surface, the asteroid will first become visible to the naked eye in the night sky from the east coast to the west coast of Australia over the Southern Hemisphere.
It will then pass across the Indian ocean, travel west above Africa, then crossover the Atlantic Ocean in just an hour, reaching the US by evening.
According to NASA, it is rare for an asteroid of this size to pass so close to Earth. Several smaller asteroids ranging in size from 10-20 meters have been spotted at similar distances but asteroids the size of Apophis are much scarcer.
NASA scientists discussed the observation and science opportunities for the celestial event at the 2019 Planetary Defence Conference held last week.in Maryland. According to them, Apophis will travel more than the width of the full Moon in less than a minute and will shine brightly as the stars in the Little Dipper constellation.
Marina Brozović, a radar scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California said, "The Apophis close approach in 2029 will be an incredible opportunity for science. We'll observe the asteroid with both optical and radar telescopes. With radar observations, we might be able to see surface details that are only a few meters in size."
Not Armageddon In Real Life
When a team of astronomers at the Kitt Peak National Observatory discovered Apophis in 2004, it did not appear harmless. The initial orbital calculations exposed that the large size asteroid had a 2.7% chance of impacting Earth in 2029. Fortunately, additional observations completely ruled out this ominous possibility. It is now estimated that the Apophis still has a tiny chance of impacting Earth , approximately less than 1 in 100,000 ,several decades from now.
Davide Farnocchia, an astronomer at JLP's Center for Near Earth Objects Studies said, "We already know that the close encounter with Earth will change Apophis' orbit, but our models also show the close approach could change the way this asteroid spins, and it is possible that there will be some surface changes, like small avalanches."
Paul Chodas, director of CNEOS said, "Apophis is a representative of about 2,000 currently known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids. By observing Apophis during its 2029 flyby, we will gain important scientific knowledge that could one day be used for planetary defence."

Up to 5,000 Isil jihadists loose in Europe, says police chief
UP to 5,000 jihadists could be at large in Europe after training with Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), the EU's police chief has warned.
Europol estimates the number of EU citizens who have slipped back after training in the Middle East as between 3,000 and 5,000, Rob Wainwright, the British head of Europol, the EU's police agency, said.
"Europe is currently facing the highest terror threat in more than 10 years," Mr Wainwright said. "We can expect Isil or other religious terror groups to stage an attack somewhere in Europe, with the aim of achieving mass casualties among the civilian population."
Before becoming head of Europol in 2009, Mr Wainwright served in senior roles at the UK's National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS) and Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA).
The growing number of Isil terrorists in Europe "presents EU member states with completely new challenges", he told Germany's 'Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung' newspaper.
His comments come after new information emerged about two suspects being held in Austria in connection with the Paris attacks.
Prosecutors in Salzburg for the first time confirmed reports that the two men, a 28-year-old Algerian and a 34-year-old Pakistani, who have not been named, entered Europe posing as refugees.
The two suspects, who were arrested at a refugee shelter on December 10, have admitted arriving in Greece with some of the Paris attackers, prosecutors said in a statement. But they denied reports that the suspects had admitted they had been supposed to take part in the Paris attacks.
It has also emerged that a further two suspects are being held by Austrian in connection with the Paris attacks.
A 25-year-old Moroccan and a 40-year-old Algerian, who were arrested around a week later, on December 18, were held because they were in close contact with the first two suspects.
"It can be assumed that all four are members of Isil," the prosecutors' statement said.
The two men held in the original arrest have confessed that they arrived in Greece in October in a boat packed with 30 to 40 asylum seekers, including two of the Paris attackers.
While the attackers travelled on to France, the two arrested men were held up after officials noticed that they were travelling with false passports. They were held by the Greek authorities for 25 days, but later allowed to continue their journey.
It has led to speculation that they were supposed to take part in the Paris attacks but arrived too late. (© Daily Telegraph, London)

The gunman came out of nowhere and just started shooting
They were on the dance floor, playing pool or simply chatting with friends when a fun college night at a popular Thousand Oaks, California, bar abruptly ended.
From across the bar, Holden Harrah saw a bearded man walk in and shoot a woman who was behind the counter.
"I see that girl every single time I'm there," he told CNN, fighting back tears. "I don't know her name, but (she) is someone I make small contact with and I say hi every time.
"I don't know if she's alive."
A gunman opened fire Wednesday night at Borderline Bar & Grill, authorities said, killing at least 12 people and injuring others in a city described by its mayor as "one of the safest" in the country.
"This guy just came out of nowhere and came out with a gun and shot people in Thousand Oaks, California," Harrah said. "And that's what's really blowing my mind, it's a really safe area.
"I'm just in shock with what I saw with my own two eyes."
'A tall, dark figure'
Taylor Von Molt, 21, was dancing when she heard what sounded like a balloon popping.
"And I was confused because we didn't have any balloons at the time," she told CNN. "And then I heard it a couple more times, and I turned around and I saw him.
"He had a black mask — what looked like a bandana on the bottom of his face — sunglasses, black hoodie, dark jeans," she said. "And he's kind of bigger. But kind of more burly. Scary."
Von Molt ran as gunshots rang out and tripped on her way to the exit. Others trying to escape kept running over her, but she was finally able to get up and sought refuge in a nearby apartment.
When Matt Wennestrom first heard the gunshots, he turned and saw "a tall, dark figure with a handgun opening fire on one of my closest friends."
"We saw him and we dropped down immediately, the group of five to six guys that I was with, and we covered the girls," Wennestrom said.
The group jumped up during a pause in the gunfire and began throwing stools through the bar's windows, he said.
As they were jumping out the window, he said, they heard the next round of gunshots.
Gunman 'was shooting everything'
After helping his son take cover, Tim Dominguez saw how the horrific scene unfolded.
"I looked up and he was moving to the right. He shot the doorman, bouncer … just a young man," Dominguez told CNN affiliate KABC, choking up. "Then he shot the cashier, just a young girl."
He said the gunman said nothing at all.
Minutes after the first shots were fired, people jumped out of windows, hid in bathrooms and "dog-piled on top of each other."
A student named Summer, who was also inside the bar, said the gunman "was shooting everything, from the speakers to anything."
California Lutheran University student Teylor Whittler, 19, told KABC that people were trying to hide in silence when men ran toward a back door of the bar and warned them the gunman was coming.
As she escaped through the door, she heard a second round of shots.
"I think everyone was in so much of a shock that it was sheer panic," Whittler said.

This course is designed to provide the student with the knowledge, practical skills and understanding required to provide and co-ordinate first aid in the work-place in compliance with the requirements of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General application) Regulations 2007: Part 7, Chapter 2: First Aid and the associated guide to those regulations. On successful completion the student will be awarded a FETAC credit in Occupational First Aid at Level 5.
Occupational first aiders are required to be trained and certified as competent at least once every two years. This is for all places of work where the Health and Safety at Work Act 2005 applies and includes employers and self-employed alike. The regulations place requirements on employers for their employees while at work and also non employees on their premises such as school pupils, customers, etc.
The number of occupational first aiders in each company should be decided after an assessment of the factors and risks of the occupation, and not necessarily based on the number of employees.
The provision of AED's (defibrillators) for the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest should also be considered where occupational first aiders are available. The training of other employees in the use of defibrillators, who are not occupational first aiders is also encouraged.
The course is divided into 8 units as follows:
- First Aid in the workplace. Role of the first aider. Personal and scene safety. Post-traumatic stress

Boron - by Organic 3, Inc.
Back in stock on December 17th!
Pure and bioavailable Boron in powder form
Boron is an important, little-known trace mineral for health maintenance. You can get boron from food, but only if there's boron in the soil from where the food is sourced (there's a lot of boron-rich soil in Death Valley and Israel).*As a health supplement, boron can have beneficial effects.*
Our Organic 3 Boron is paired with glycinate, so it's bioavailable and easily absorbed.* No other ingredients or fillers are added to this pure powder.
Please keep in mind, Boron is a trace mineral that should be taken in accordance to the suggested daily doses. We highly recommend the purchase of our mini-measuring spoon set to accurately measure the correct amount for your needs.
Bountiful boron supplements for your health
Elemental boron plays a crucial role of helping integrate calcium into the bone.* This is important for all of us as we age. Aging is partly associated with weakening of the bones as they become increasingly porous, and adequate boron can help maintain bone health.*
Boron can also naturally help support sex hormones and maintain cholesterol levels that are already normal.* In addition, boron may promote brain function, hand-eye coordination and concentration.*

Excellent Mineral
I have been using Boron for the past 6 months and I can feel the difference in my bones and joints. The results have been so good that my Naturopathic Doctor have taken me off for now.
Hello Luella! Thank you for sharing your experience with Organic 3 Boron! How amazing that it's been so supportive of your bones and joints, so much so that your naturopathic doctor says you don't need it :) Indeed, elemental boron plays a crucial role in helping integrate calcium into the bone. This is important for all of us as we age. Aging is partly associated with weakening of the bones as they become increasingly porous, and adequate boron - as you've experienced- can help maintain bone health. We appreciate your support, Luella. And we wish you the very best on your healing journey! Warm regards, The Corganic Team
Boron 30g
Amazed at the quick relief . Especially with such a small dosage.I had symptoms of severe arthritis, and had relief within two days.after a week all symptoms were gone.my wife couldn't sleep on her one side because of hip pain.Now after taking it for a few days she's able to sleep on her side pain free.I have recommended it to several friends.
Hi Jack, Thanks so much for sharing your experience. We're thrilled to hear that your Boron by Organic 3 has helped support your joints and relieved symptoms amid your arthritis; and that it helped support your wife during her hip pain flare up. Just wonderful, amazing news! It's really something how when the body gets the minerals it needs, things can just fall into place! Jack, we also thank you for your recommendation. We are honored to serve you and your wife and we wish you the very best on your healthy journey :) Warm regards, The Corganic Team
Who knew
Just learned about Boron and it's ability to increase bone density, fights against osteoporosis and arthritis to provide overall better health. If you cannot afford Boron, there is what they call a poor mans recipe using Borax laundry detergent. Yep, Borax laundry detergent!! This is jus so much easier and Corganic seems to be a very honest company with prices that won't leave you broke. Highly recommend listening to podcast from Dr. Jorge Fletcher regarding Boron AND Iodine. To your health.
Dear Cynthia, We're so happy to hear that you're learning about the goodness of Boron and enjoying its benefits via the supplement by Organic 3, Inc. (We do not recommend the route to boron through the laundry detergent). Thank you for appreciating our honesty, transparency and pricing, too :) We truly appreciate your recommendation and also for the note about Dr. Jorge. We look forward to serving you, Cynthia and wish you the very best! Warm regards, The Corganic Team
Organic Boron
I normally eat all organic and take colloidal Minerals organic multivitamins and so on so I am in pretty good health at this time I have added this product to my diet to fortify my health even more since this is an important mineral deficient in our soil and diets Prevention is the best cure I love that this product is organic and bioavailable Thanks Corganics for what you do !
Hi Lynette, Thanks so much for sharing your experience with Boron by Organic 3, Inc. Indeed, it is a mineral that is deficient in our soil and American diets. We also agree that prevention is the best cure ;) We're happy you're enjoying the Boron and its bio-availability, and we're honored to serve you. One small note... the folks at Organic 3, Inc. use high-quality, chelated Boron (a mineral), with the trademark name "Bororganic." This trademark name describes the Boron itself. In addition, your Boron is comprised of pure Boron powder with no additives. If you see other supplements (including minerals) that are labeled organic, it's often t because they have fillers that can be either synthetic or organic... and that's where the organic claim comes in. In other words, this Boron has no fillers, so there's nothing to call "organic." Hope this information helps clarify things for you. We thank you again for your support - and wish you well! Warm regards, The Corganic Team
Simple/Easy & Economical
Previously I had been using ionic boron drops, but that was very expensive due to needing a relatively high dosage for decalcification issues caused by vitamin (hormone) D overdose and hypercalcemia. Then I tried the Borax dilution, recipe, but that was inconvenient. The boroganic glycine is reasonably priced even with needing to take high doses. It's super easy to measure and a little goes a long way. I also think it seems to be more easily used by my body than the other forms as well.
Hi Stephanie, Thanks for sharing your experience : ) It sounds like you've been through a lot of different types of boron for your decalicificaion issues. We're so happy to hear that the Boron by Organic 3, Inc. is fitting into your regimen with easy usability and that your body is absorbing it as it needs. (Also great to hear that you're liking the price!) We appreciate your support - and wish you the very best on your healing journey. Warm regards, The Corganic Team

While the Linux 5.5 merge window has just been over for less than one week, AMD has already submitted their first batch of feature updates to DRM-Next of new graphics driver material aiming for Linux 5.6 early next year.
Out today is a new development release of GNOME Shell on the road to GNOME 3.36 in March.
Intel's OpenSWR software rasterizer for OpenGL as an alternative to the likes of LLVMpipe could soon have OpenGL 4.0 and is a step closer to that code thanks to... Microsoft code.
Out today is NVIDIA 440.44 as the latest stable Linux driver update in their new long-lived driver series.
Recently I wrapped up some benchmarks looking at the performance of Ubuntu on Microsoft's Windows Subsystem for Linux comparing WSL on Windows 10 Build 18362 (May 2019 Update) and then both WSL and WSL2 performance using the Windows 10 Build 19008 Insider's Preview (what will come as Windows 10 20H1 update) for looking at where the WSL performance is heading. Additionally, looking at the bare metal performance of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for which the WSL instances were based plus Ubuntu 19.10. As well, for the Windows-compatible tests also looking at how the Windows performance itself was outside of WSL/WSL2.
While DXVK tends to be much-loved by Linux gamers for allowing more Direct3D 10/11 Windows games to run nicely on Linux with Wine or Proton (Steam Play) thanks to its fairly complete translation of D3D10/D3D11 API calls to Vulkan, it looks like Philip Rebohle is at least contemplating shifting it just into maintenance-mode.
With 2019 and in turn this decade quickly drawing to a close, here is a look back at the most popular open-source/Linux news on Phoronix from 2010 to present. So far this decade on Phoronix has been 27,840 original news articles pertaining to Linux/open-source/hardware.
Along similar aims to GhostBSD and MidnightBSD, GhostBSD is another one of the BSD distributions focused on providing a nice out-of-the-box experience. NomadBSD 1.3 is now available that is in turn based on the recent FreeBSD 12.1.
Introduced back in Ubuntu Server 17.10 and improved upon since has been "Subiquity" as a new Ubuntu Server install option rather than their classic installer derived from Debian. But with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, they will be dropping that Debian Installer based option and focusing solely on their modern "Subiquity" server installer option.
The currently-experimental Qt Shader Tools allows for graphics/compute shader conditioning and used by the in-development Qt graphics abstraction layer for supporting Vulkan / Metal / Direct3D / OpenGL APIs.
10 December
Mesa 20.0 due out in Q1'2020 is now the magical release that is set to switch on RadeonSI NIR usage by default in place of the TGSI intermediate representation. What makes this IR switch-over prominent is that OpenGL 4.6 is then enabled by default on this open-source Gallium3D driver supporting Radeon HD 7000 series GPUs and newer.
Chrome 79 is out as Google's last feature update to their web browser for 2019.
GraphicsFuzz is the project born out of academia a few years ago for fuzzing GPU drivers to find OpenGL / OpenGL ES (WebGL) driver issues. This work was ultimately acquired by Google and then open-sourced just over one year ago. Today marks the release of GraphicsFuzz 1.3.
Ubuntu 19.10.1 has been released as an unscheduled re-spin of Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine for Raspberry Pi 2 / 3 / 4 ARM single-board computers.
CodeWeavers has announced the availability of CrossOver 19 for their Wine-based software for running Windows programs/applications/games on macOS and Linux.
Back in September we learned that Microsoft was bringing their Microsoft Teams software to Linux and today it has entered a public preview state.
Mesa 19.3 could be released as soon as this week after being challenged by several delays over blocker bugs. This release should be making it out in the days ahead and is a fantastic Christmas gift to Linux desktop users and a big step-up for these OpenGL / Vulkan driver implementations as we end out 2019.
An issue affecting some Linux users with Radeon graphics for at least the last four months around graphics corruption problems when switching to newer versions of the Linux kernel have been resolved.
Unisoc, the Chinese SoC provider for smartphones that is part of the Tsinghua Unigroup, has published a new open-source DRM display driver that ultimately they are looking to get into the mainline kernel.
While we are approaching 2020 and the four year anniversary since the Vulkan 1.0 launch, one aspect that has been a bit disappointing has been the lack of not seeing quicker uptake by various Linux window managers / compositors in at least offering a Vulkan code path. One of the best examples of a Vulkan-powered compositor with that has been the independent ChamferWM.
The TURNIP Mesa Vulkan driver providing support for recent Qualcomm Adreno graphics processors and akin to the Freedreno Gallium3D driver has added an important performance-boosting feature.
Google's Hans Wennborg is once again stepping up to manager the next feature release of LLVM and sub-projects like Clang. If all goes well, LLVM 10.0 will be out with Clang 10.0 and friends before the end of February.
9 December
With Intel Jasper Lake graphics support making it as one of the prominent hardware support additions for Linux 5.5, the user-space OpenGL/Vulkan driver support is now found within Mesa 20.0-devel.
Last month was a proposal for Fedora 32 to disallow empty passwords for local users by default but at today's Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) they completely shot down that proposal.
Multipass, the Canonical-led open-source project that aims to make it easy to spin up Ubuntu VM instances on Linux and Windows and macOS, is up to version 0.9 ahead of a possible 1.0 release for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
Last month we reviewed the OnLogic Karbon 700 as a passively-cooled, industrial-grade PC powered by an eight-core / sixteen-thread Intel Xeon, 16GB of RAM, 512GB NVMe storage, and a plethora of connectivity options in suiting to industrial use-cases. The performance was great and even the thermal performance was very good for being a fan-less PC. In seeing how well other Linux distributions were panning out on the Karbon 700, I tested five popular Linux distributions on the Xeon Coffee Lake system and once again Intel's performance-optimized Clear Linux squeezed out much more performance potential.
Intel Labs announced "Horse Ridge" as a cryogenic control chip to enable more development and testing around full-stack quantum computing systems.
Vulkan 1.1.130 is out today as the newest update to this graphics API that fixes a wide variety of documentation issues and areas in need of clarifications while also introducing a new extension.
The WireGuard secure VPN tunnel kernel code has landed in net-next! This means that -- barring any major issues coming to light that would lead to a revert -- WireGuard will finally reach the mainline kernel with the Linux 5.6 cycle kicking off in late January or early February!
One of the most frequent complaints we hear from Linux gamers running open-source GPU drivers is over the lack of the hardware vendors supporting any feature-rich control panels like they do on Windows. There are many Linux driver tunables exposed by these open-source graphics drivers, but often they can only be manipulated via command-line options, environment variables, boot parameters, and other less than straight-forward means especially for recent converts from Windows and other novice Linux users. ADriConf has been doing a fairly decent job as a third-party means of helping to improve the situation and now there is talk of it supporting Vulkan driver settings.
Back in September we wrote about Facebook's Roman Gushchin working on a new slab memory controller/allocator implementation that in turn could provide better memory utilization and less slab memory usage. This wasn't ready in time for the 5.5 kernel but a revised patch series was sent out last week.
Fedora users eager to see the Linux 5.4 stable kernel can engage by helping to test their newly-spun 5.4-based kernel image prior to it officially landing as a stable release update.
This weekend was the last-minute pull request by Google's Kees Cook to introduce the new sizeof_member() macro that had been previously rejected from Linux 5.4. Well, it was again rejected by Linus Torvalds prior to tagging the Linux 5.5-rc1 kernel.
While there are some pretty great features for Linux 5.5, one that didn't make it quite in time was the long-awaited introduction of WireGuard as the in-kernel secure VPN tunnel. While it was a bummer it didn't make 5.5, all indications are at this point is that it will be in Linux 5.6.
8 December
Linus Torvalds has just issued the first release candidate of the Linux 5.5 cycle following the traditional two week long merge window.
Linux 5.5-rc1 is on the way to mirrors and with that the Linux 5.5 merge window is now over. Here is a look at the lengthy set of changes and new features for this next Linux kernel that will debut as stable in early 2020.
After not being merged for Linux 5.4, the new sizeof_member() macro as a unified means of calculating the size of a member of a struct has been volleyed for Linux 5.5 for possible inclusion on this last day of the merge window.
One of the side projects Mozilla continues to develop is DeepSpeech, a speech-to-text engine derived from research by Baidu and built atop TensorFlow with both CPU and NVIDIA CUDA acceleration. This week marked the release of Mozilla DeepSpeech 0.6 with performance optimizations, Windows builds, lightening up the language models, and other changes.
KDE Plasma is gearing up for 2020 by introducing a built-in emoji picker... Coming with Plasma 5.18 is easier support for inserting Unicode emojis.
Decided back at the GNU Tools Cauldron was a timeline to aim converting from Subversion as their default revision control system to Git over the New Year's holiday. For that to happen, by the middle of December they wanted to decide what conversion system to use for bringing all their SVN commits to Git. As such, now it's heating up ahead of that decision.
Raptor Computing Systems, the libre hardware company behind the POWER9-based Talos II server board and Blackbird micro-ATX desktop, has been working to improve the open-source AMD Radeon graphics driver support for IBM POWER.

In late 2018, the federal government introduced broad new changes to Canada's impaired driving laws. Bill C-46 is the first significant change to the country's impaired driving laws in more than 40 years, and was introduced as a result of the introduction of cannabis legalization in October 2018.
The biggest changes are the broad new powers given to police officers at roadside stops. Under the previous legislation, police needed to have reasonable suspicion that a driver was impaired before requesting a breathalyzer test. Under the new laws, police can request a breathalyzer sample from anyone pulled over. Any driver who refuses to provide a breath sample can be charged criminally or face a license suspension.
As well, police are now allowed to administer breathalyzer tests to people who aren't even driving. Under Bill C-46, officers are allowed to request breath samples from someone up to two hours after that person has stopped driving. It is now illegal to be at or over the legal alcohol limit within that two-hour time period of being behind the wheel. Many lawyers have raised alarm over this part of the bill, which could result in breathalyzer tests being administered in bars, restaurants and even homes.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has expressed concerns about possible baseless searches affecting minority groups.
Under the Criminal Code, it's an offence to drive with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood.
The new law also brings updated penalties for anyone found driving impaired:
- First offence, with blood-alcohol content of 80-119 mg: mandatory minimum $1,000 fine;
- First offence, with blood-alcohol content of 120-159 mg: mandatory minimum $1,500 fine;
- First offence, with blood alcohol content of 160 mg or more: mandatory minimum $2,500 fine;
- First offence, but refuse to be tested: mandatory minimum $2,000 fine;
- Second offence: mandatory minimum 30 days imprisonment;
- Third or greater offence: mandatory minimum 120 days imprisonment;
- Maximum penalties for impaired driving causing no bodily harm or death: a summary conviction carries two years less a day imprisonment, an indictment carries up to 10 years in prison;
- Maximum penalties for impaired driving causing bodily harm or death: a summary conviction carries two years less a day imprisonment, an indictment carries up to 14 years in prison;
- Maximum penalty for impaired driving causing death: life in prison.

"WHATEVER HAPPENED to postmodernism?" asked the critic Hal Foster in 1993, reflecting on the apparent exhaustion of the postmodernist project in art and theory. Rather than declare the end of postmodernism, however, Foster went on to sketch a complex historical picture in which modernism and postmodernism are engaged in a kind of temporal dance, where one or the other comes to the fore at different moments.
Foster's suggestive analysis helps account for the steady reemergence of modernist commitments and strategies over the past decade and particularly in the past several years. In critical theory, for instance, Alain Badiou and Alenka Zupančič are offering potent challenges to postmodern thought, reviving distinctly avant-gardist conceptions of aesthetic innovation and revolutionary commitment. In a recent manifesto, new-media critic Lev Manovich celebrates the "new modernism of data

Brasses are a range of cast and wrought copper alloys made up of copper and zinc, with differing combinations of properties, including strength, machinability, ductility, wear-resistance, hardness, colour, electrical and thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance.
Brasses with a copper content greater than 63% are the most ductile of any copper alloy and are shaped by complex cold forming operations. If the copper content is less than 63% the brasses can be extensively hot worked by rolling, extrusion, forging and stamping.
Leaded brasses set the standard by which the machinability of other materials is judged and is also available in a very wide variety of product forms and sizes to allow minimum machining to finished dimensions. Brass does not become brittle at low temperatures like mild steel, it is also non-magnetic and non-sparking.
Brass also has excellent thermal conductivity, making it a first choice for heat exchangers (radiators). Its electrical conductivity ranges from 23 to 44% that of pure copper and where the high electrical conductivity of pure copper is not required wrought or cast brass components provide a cost effective solution for electrical contacts and terminals.
Colours of brass
Brasses have a range of attractive colours, ranging from red to yellow to gold to silver. With the addition of 1% manganese, brass will weather to a chocolate brown colour. Nickel silvers will polish to a brilliant silver colour. Brasses are easy to shape and, with all these colours available, it is not surprising that architects and designers have used brasses to enhance the appearance of new and refurbished buildings, both inside and out.
Recycling brass
The brass industry throughout the world is well organised and equipped to recycle copper alloy products at the end of their long lives and process scrap (swarf and offcuts). Making brass from new copper and zinc would be uneconomical and wasteful of raw materials so, since new brass articles are made from recycled scrap, brass is said to be sustainable. In the UK brass manufacturers use almost 100% brass scrap.

Cadence, energy expenditure, and gait symmetry during music-prompted and self-regulated walking in adults with unilateral transtibial amputation
Rowe, David A. and McMinn, David and Peacock, Leslie and Buis, Adrianus W. P. and Sutherland, Rona and Henderson, Emma and Hewitt, Allan (2014) Cadence, energy expenditure, and gait symmetry during music-prompted and self-regulated walking in adults with unilateral transtibial amputation. Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 11 (2). pp. 320-329. ISSN 1543-3080Full text not available in this repository.Request a copy from the Strathclyde author
Walking cadence has shown promise for estimating walking intensity in healthy adults. Auditory cues have been shown to improve gait symmetry in populations with movement disorders. We investigated the walking cadence-energy expenditure relationship in unilateral transtibial amputees (TTAs), and the potential of music cues for regulating walking cadence and improving gait symmetry. Seventeen unilateral TTAs performed two 5-min treadmill walking trials, followed by two 5-min overground walking trials (self-regulated "brisk" intensity, and while attempting to match a moderate-tempo digital music cue). Walking cadence significantly (P<.001) and accurately (R2=.55, SEE=0.50 METs) predicted energy expenditure, and a cadence of 86 steps·min-1 was equivalent to a 3-MET intensity. Although most participants were able to match cadence to prescribed music tempo, gait symmetry was not improved during the music-guided condition, compared to the self-regulated condition. This is the first study to investigate the utility of walking cadence for monitoring and regulating walking intensity in adults with lower limb prosthesis. Cadence has similar or superior accuracy as an indicator of walking intensity in this population, compared to the general population, and adults with a unilateral TTA are capable of walking at moderate intensity and above for meaningful bouts of time.

Vibrant puzzler SuperHyperCube [Review: 7.5/10] was one of the better launch games for PlayStation VR. Vive fans pay attention, then; it looks like you can play it soon.
The developer took to Twitter to tease a Vive version of the game with a GIF of the kit's controllers displayed in its retro-future art style. Polytron didn't offer any other details about the launch of the Vive version, but be sure to be on the lookout for it.
NOW LOADING… pic.twitter.com/oPl3D1BonS
— Polytron (@Polytron) January 30, 2017
SuperHyperCube has you fitting 3D objects through approaching holes, and is often likened to a sort of VR reimagining of Tetris. In our review we noted it was a game that many would find "fun and addictive", though its simplicity was both "its greatest asset" and "its largest weakness".
On PS VR the game uses DualShock 4 controls. Hopefully Polytron has plans to implement motion controls into the Vive version, though the GIF seems to suggest the controllers' touchpads will instead mimic directional and face buttons on the left and right respectively, just like you'd see on a traditional gamepad.
Usually, the launch of a Vive game is accompanied with a release on Oculus Rift and its Touch controllers too, but SuperHyperCube looks to be one of the rare games where that won't be the case. You may recall that Polytron, famous for 2012 videogame Fez, cancelled plans for the Rift version of the game last September when it transpired that headset creator Palmer Luckey had funded a political propaganda campaign.
"In a political climate as fragile and horrifying as this one, we cannot tacitly endorse these actions by supporting Luckey or his platform," the developer wrote. "In light of this, we will not be pursuing Oculus support for our upcoming VR release, SUPERHYPERCUBE."
We reached out to Polytron to ask if this was still the case and they confirmed that nothing had changed. If you want to play this one, you'll need to get yourself either a Vive or PSVR. However, it is worth noting that even if the developer's do not officially endorse and support the Rift platform, the game may still run just fine via SteamVR. At least, that's the case with many other "Vive only" games currently available.

How much do you really know about the food you eat? Although you may be happy to munch on bananas or nibble on white chocolate, chances are you're not super familiar with where they come from or what they're made of.
Now's your chance to learn more with these 13 strange and fascinating facts that will change the way you think about your favorite foods.
Oysters are alive when you eat them.
Raw oysters need to be served straight out of the ocean in order to prevent them from going bad. That freshness means that they're generally still alive when you're digesting them. And believe it or not, you want it that way — dead oysters can harbor large amounts of bacteria that can make you sick.
Bananas are actually berries, but strawberries and raspberries aren't.
For a fruit to be considered a berry, it needs to have several seeds on the inside and be derived from a single flower with one ovary. Following that criteria, bananas fall into the berry family while strawberries and raspberries don't, according to Stanford University.
Green, yellow, and red bell peppers are not actually the same vegetable.
You might have thought that green, yellow, and red bell peppers were all grown separately, given their different looks and tastes. But then again you may have also heard that all colored peppers are the exact same vegetable, just at different stages of development. So what's true?
Well, it turns out these veggies are not always the same plant. Though some green peppers are unripe red peppers, green, yellow, orange, and red peppers are all unique plants with their own seeds.
Sliced bread was once banned from the United States.
In 1943, the US banned the production of sliced bread as a wartime cost-cutting measure. Its disappearance from shelves did not go over well with Americans, who were already used to the convenience of pre-sliced loaves.
After two months of public ire, the ban was lifted, with the New York Times announcing, "Sliced Bread Put Back on Sale; Housewives' Thumbs Safe Again."
White chocolate isn't actually chocolate.
Despite its name, white chocolate doesn't actually contain any real chocolate components. According to Bon Appetit, the item is made up of a blend of sugar, milk products, vanilla, lecithin, and cocoa butter — no chocolate solids.
Pizza Hut was once the largest wholesale purchaser of kale.
Before the kale craze took off in 2012, it wasn't a very popular item for purchase among chains. According to NPR, Pizza Hut used to be the biggest buyer of the product — and even then, it was only to use the kale as a garnish on salad bars.
Pringles once filed a lawsuit claiming it wasn't a potato chip.
In 2009, Procter & Gamble UK filed a lawsuit arguing that Pringles — which contain potato flour, corn, rice, and wheat — aren't potato chips, but are actually "savory snacks." Why? Potato products, unlike most foods in Britain, aren't exempt from value-added tax.
The court disagreed, ruling that Pringles is indeed a chip and leaving P&G with over $160 million in owed taxes, according to the New York Times.
Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower all come from the same plant.
It turns out a bunch of your favorite green vegetables — including all of the ones mentioned above, along with kale, collard greens, and more — are each different varieties of a single magical species of plant: Brassica oleracea.
Pound cake got its name from the original recipe.
Ever wondered where pound cake got its name? According to POPSUGAR, the original recipe for the cake, which originated in Europe in the early 18th century, required a pound of each of its ingredients — flour, butter, eggs, and sugar.
Apples, pears, and plums are actually part of the rose family.
Several popular fruits are members of rose family, known as Rosaceae. Apples, pears, and plums are among them, as are apricots, cherries, and raspberries.
Grape-Nuts isn't made of either grapes or nuts.
The main ingredients of Grape-Nuts cereal are whole grain wheat flour, malted barley flour, salt, and dried yeast — not an actual grape or nut to be found. So where did the name come from? Apparently, that mystery has yet to be resolved.
Lots of shredded cheeses and cereals contain cellulose (aka wood pulp).
As Eater reports, cellulose, which is essentially sawdust, is often used in various shredded cheese products and cereals to prevent them from clumping.
Peanut butter can be turned into diamonds.
You don't need to dig for diamonds — just turn to your pantry. Thanks to the high levels of carbon it contains, scientists in Germany say peanut butter can be mixed with carbon dioxide to form diamonds.
As Popular Mechanic outlines, the process involves extracting oxygen from the carbon dioxide, leaving behind carbon that turns into diamonds when subjected to intense pressure.

A mommy makeover denotes a set of surgical procedures designed and tested to help reinvigorate a mom post-pregnancy.

How long will the surgery take?
Where will the doctors take me after the surgery is complete?
Will the body have a lot of bandages? How long will they last?
When will I be able to take a shower?

So apparently, spectators weren't the only ones bothered by the flute-and-electric-violin music we told you about yesterday.
According to a reliable source, Tommy Haas stopped his match on Court 13 at one point yesterday to ask that the music be turned down.
"This isn't the Titanic," he said.
Which is true.

Part 1: Group Development In looking over the details given for the case, the group appears to still be in the Storming stage. While some of the team has come together and are providing their assigned portions of the class project, they still are not a cohesive, and functioning team; due to one of their team members being preoccupied with outside demands and not really coming together with the rest of the team.

Richmond Park School
Ysgol Parc Waundew
To correspond with the London 2012 Olympics, we held a multi-skills sports day which also incorporated the traditional element of a sprint, distance and relay race. Our skills events included a javelin throw, hockey dribble, shuttle run, golf target shot, rugby passing, bean bag target throw and a penalty shootout.
We held an opening ceremony, where every child in the school paraded around the field with Olympic flags, our school's Olympic torch and the real Olympic torch. We were delighted to invite Hope Russell to attend our morning. Hope is one of the Gold Ambassadors from Queen Elizabeth High School and she was also selected as one of the Olympic torch bearers. She brought along her torch and the children were extremely excited to be able to hold and see it up close. We are also grateful to Carys Mansfield, Chris James (Silver Young Ambassadors) and the students from QEH for volunteering their time to help with our day.
We were also delighted to have Mr Dafydd Jones from the Scarlets be our guest speaker at the opening ceremony. Dafydd was also kind enough to help out with the activities, even taking the role of a goalkeeper during the penalty shootout competition.
The closing ceremony was focussed on presenting the house shield, presenting 1st, 2nd and 3rd medals to the children on a podium and presenting seven children with wristbands etched with each of the Olympic Values. The 7 wristbands were presented to the children who best demonstrated the values throughout the year.
Congratulations to Cothi house for winning both the House Shield and the Relay Shield.

Presented by the Department of Theatre & Dance and the Mermaid Players.
A timeless classic that gains renewed vigor in this translation by a master of the English language, "The Burial at Thebes" tells the story of Antigone, the idealistic daughter of Oedipus, who prioritizes her family and her principles above her desire to be obedient to the state. The play raises many questions about social stability, patriotism and religious rigidity. August 30, 2013 marked the sudden death of Seamus Heaney, a Nobel Prize-winning writer and long-standing friend of Dickinson College. Although best remembered as one of the world's finest poets, Heaney also composed beautiful verse translations of classical Greek plays, including "The Burial at Thebes." The Department of Theatre & Dance dedicates this production of "Burial at Thebes" to his memory. The play will perform in Mathers Theater, located inside the Holland Union Building, on the following dates and times: Friday, April 11, 8 p.m., Saturday, April 12, 8 p.m., Monday, April 14, 8 p.m., Tuesday, April 15, 8 p.m For more information, or to reserve your tickets now, please call (717) 245 - 1327(717) 245 - 1327 or visit the website
