|Biographies index
Stanisław Lesniewski's name should be written as Leśniewski but is usually transliterated as Lesniewski and we will use this form throughout this article. Lesniewski's father was Isydor Lesniewski, a Polish railway engineer. It was a job which involved Isydor Lesniewski being sent to places where railways were being constructed and at the stage when Stanisław was attending secondary school the family were living in Siberia. Stanisław attended school there in the town of Irkutsk.
He studied at several universities, spending some time in Munich where he attended lecturers by Hans Cornelius, before taking his doctorate at the Polish University of Lwów (now Lvov, Ukraine but then under the control of Austria). In Lwów he studied mainly philosophy and also took mathematics courses, attending mathematics lectures by Jozef Puzyna and Wacław Sierpiński. Lesniewski, whose doctoral supervisor was Kazimierz Twardowski, published the two papers A contribution to the analysis of existential propositions and An attempt at a proof of the ontological principle of contradiction while still undertaking his doctoral research. These papers were published in Lesniewski's mother tongue of Polish but in 1913 a Russian translation of the two papers was published under the single title Logical Studies. His doctorate was awarded in 1912.
At that time Jan Łukasiewicz was teaching at Lwów, being promoted from Privatdozent to extraordinary professor in 1911, and he greatly influenced Lesniewski in the first course on mathematical logic which he gave there. One way in particular that this influence was exerted was over the law of the excluded middle. One of Lesniewski's first projects had been to attempt to disprove this principle, but Jan Łukasiewicz had published an appendix to his 1910 publication On the principle of contraction in Aristotle which caused Lesniewski to change to direction of his research. He began to study formal logic and began to make strenuous attempts to understand Russell's paradox which he had learnt through Jan Łukasiewicz.
In 1913 Lesniewski published an article on the law of the excluded middle, then in the following year a publication on Russell's paradox. He left Lwów to take up a teaching position at a Warsaw school but after the start of World War I he made the decision to return to Russia, He spent 1914-18 in Moscow where he taught at a Polish High School. Although he had presented his first ideas on a new theory of classes which would avoid the paradoxes while he was in Lwów, it was during his time in Moscow that Lesniewski published his formal theory called mereology. We give some further technical details of this theory below.
As soon as Poland was liberated at the end of the war, Lesniewski returned to Warsaw. There he began to get more involved in the study of mathematical logic. Janiszewski and Mazurkiewicz had created in Warsaw by the end of the war one of the strongest schools of mathematics in the world. Led by Janiszewski this school was particularly interested in set theory, and the foundations of mathematics. Lesniewski enthusiastically joined Janiszewski's school of mathematics. In 1919, he accepted the chair of the philosophy of mathematics at Warsaw where Łukasiewicz was already teaching.
Various mathematicians in Warsaw, including Janiszewski, Mazurkiewicz and Lesniewski, played a major role in the setting up of the journal Fundamenta Mathematicae. It was Janiszewski who proposed the name of the journal in 1919 but Lesniewski was a member of the editorial board influencing policy. The first volume appeared in 1920 and, although the intention was for a truly international journal, the editors had quite deliberately decided to make the first volume contain papers by Polish authors only. Janiszewski wrote:-
... it is my intention to present, if possible, all Polish mathematicians working in the field of set theory, to which the journal is devoted.Łukasiewicz, who as we mentioned was also on the staff at Warsaw University at this time, began collaborating with Lesniewski. Łukasiewicz had considerable influence on Polish education over this period for he served as Polish Minister of Education in 1919 and was twice rector of Warsaw University. During this time Łukasiewicz and Lesniewski founded the Warsaw School of Logic. They gathered round them a group of impressive students. Tarski was a student of Lesniewski who helped make this school internationally famous as he progressed from student to colleague of Lesniewski and Łukasiewicz.
In 1927 Lesniewski published his first important work on the foundations of mathematics. From then until 1939 he published a series of twelve papers giving his theories of logic and mathematics. His theories overcame the paradoxes of Russell in set theory. The editors of [7] write in the Introduction to that work:-
For Lesniewski his publications were not the only way of publishing his new system of the foundations of mathematics. He attached great importance to his university lectures and he lectured almost entirely about his own work.These lectures are given in [5]. Fortunately Tarski was able to make known the unpublished results of Lesniewski which were destroyed in World War II.
The author of [15] argues that the importance of Lesniewski's work is in providing an alternative to the classical approach to logic and the foundations of mathematics. Lesniewski's contributions to logic concentrate on the structure of a sentence, and he argues for the traditional idea of a sentence as consisting of a subject, an object and a copula. His mathematical work concentrates on set theory, where his concern is the nature of a set. Lesniewski puts the main emphasis on the distinction between sets in the distributive sense and sets in the collective sense.
Lesniewski's views developed from his analysis of Russell's paradox which he concluded confused two different notions of class. The three major logical systems which Lesniewski developed were: Protothetic, a theory of propositions and propositional functors, similar in power to a theory of propositional types, providing an extended propositional calculus with quantified functional variables; Ontology, which is an axiomatised theory of common names based on protothetic which may be characterised as a cross between traditional term logic and modern type theory, containing, besides singular terms, also empty and plural terms and a host of other interesting features; and Mereology, which is an axiomatic extension of ontology for a theory of classes quite different from set theory providing a formal theory of part and whole similar to the calculus of individuals.
Surma, Srzednicki, Barnett and Rickey as the editors of [7] sum up Lesniewski's contributions:-
Stanisław Lesniewski was one of the co-founders of the Polish School of Logic and an author of a new and wholly original system of the foundations of logic and mathematics. He was also the forerunner and originator of many ideas included as a matter of course in modern textbooks of logic and the foundations of mathematics. Although Lesniewski played a considerable role during the period of development of modern mathematical logic and of the foundations of mathematics, his systems are not as well known as they deserve to be and the fact remains that his systems are not generally accepted as a tool in the foundational practice. Nevertheless, they have greatly influenced the very philosophy of mathematics.

Baclofen pump facts
The baclofen pump is used to provide medication directly to the spinal cord, typically baclofen, when the oral dose exceeds the recommended maximum dosage. It is produced by Medtronic and is about the size of a hockey puck. A catheter runs from the pump along the abdominal wall where it is anchored to the spine and punctures the spinal cord. It is possible for the catheter to be placed above the point of injury. I have mine placed at C-4. It can provide medication both continuously or in bolus amounts (large amount at a time) and is typically delivered in micrograms. The pump itself is located just below the skin somewhere in the abominable section. Mine is located on my right side. The battery lasts anywhere from five to seven years at such a point when they need to replace it, but not the catheter. To fill the pump, a needle gets stuck through the skin and a port in the middle of the pump. To reprogram it, a scanner is placed directly over the pump to scan the pump and get the settings at which point they can change them and program the new settings into the pump. MRI's are not a problem with it as it automatically shuts down as soon as it senses the magnetic field. If anyone has any information to add to this, go for it.
As far as medications that can go in it, baclofen and clonidine are a typical mix to help with spasms and some pain. You can add Dilaudid or a number of other liquid medications although I found they aren't very effective for central pain, at least not long-term. And for me, a lowered my testosterone level and I put on a ton of weight.
I have a lot of experience with this thing so if you have any questions that aren't answered here by me or others or doing a search, feel free to ask.
Will someone please make this a sticky post. There are a lot of questions about it and I think it would be good to have them all answered in one place.

Meet Our Students: Rita Field
A monthly series to help you get to know the students of NLU, where they've come from and the things they've experienced on the journey toward their degree.
Graduate student from Bloomfield Hills, MI
Pursuing Ed.S. in School Psychology
What brought you to NLU?
I originally received my B.A. in Anthropology and Sociology from the University of Michigan. I had spent several years working in the not-for-profit sector in the Pacific Northwest, where I further developed my skills and interest in counseling. Soon after, I had the opportunity to move to London, England. While in England, I obtained a certificate in Integrative Counseling and Psychotherapy from the Minster Centre, University of Middlesex.
As my interest in education and the mental health field grew, it wasn't solidified until my eldest daughter began preschool. Upon entering preschool, she presented with diagnostic criteria for selective mutism and so began my path to School Psychology. During her time at preschool I recognized the difficulty school personnel had in understanding and managing her needs. They were unfamiliar with selective mutism and did not know what steps to take in order to address my daughter's unique situation. As a parent, I witnessed the frustration the school staff had in interacting with my daughter. At that transformative moment, I appreciated the necessity of viewing a child as more than their label, considering the child from a holistic perspective and the importance of building positive family/school partnerships.
After extensive research, I recognized the School Psychology program at National Louis University would be the right fit for my educational interests. The program would provide me with the opportunity to learn from prominent educators in the field, while allowing for a "hands-on" approach during practica placements. Logistically, by offering evening classes, I was able to be present for my two young children during their school day!
What are you currently studying?
During the course of the program I received a M.Ed. in Educational Psychology. As a third-year student intern, I am currently working towards an Ed.S. in School Psychology. My internship is in CCSD 15 in Palatine, where I am in an elementary school two days per week and a junior high two days per week. In October, I will begin my 20-day high school rotation. As part of the internship experience, we take an internship supervision seminar that meets once a month. This allows for students to receive University supervision during our internship experience.
What do you like about your program:
Not only have I had the opportunity to learn from exceptional educational leaders in the field, but the nature of the program has allowed me to become involved with the NLU community. Since beginning at NLU, I have been able to participate in various leadership roles such as first-year representative in student governance, student delegate for our national and statewide School Psychology Organizations (NASP & ISPA), as well as the president of the NLU School Psychology Organization. The faculty in the School Psychology department also encourages and supports students to present research studies at the annual National Association of School Psychologist convention. This is a fantastic opportunity to have exposure and interaction with other leaders and researchers in the field. Additionally, because of the size of the cohort you are able to build lasting relationships with colleagues in the field.
Are you involved in any clubs or off-campus activities in your community:
Most recently I have been volunteering as a selective mutism treatment counselor with Advanced Therapeutic Solutions in Oak Brook. Through the utilization of evidence-based interventions, we have been able to assist children in generalizing communication skills to previously challenging environments.
How have you grown in your time here?
Since I have begun the program at NLU, I have deepened my understanding of school psychology and the positive impact that we can have on students, teachers and community. As leaders, we have the ability to work collaboratively with the school community to ensure positive outcomes for students. Our most important role is to advocate for the student, and as a result of my training I feel confident in my ability to continue to do so.
What do you hope to do after college and how is NLU preparing you for that?
I would like to continue to work in a diverse community, supporting the needs of students and families. Given my extensive coursework, practica placements and research interests, I believe NLU has appropriately prepared me to achieve my career goals.
What have you liked most about your experience at NLU so far?
The exposure to progressive, innovative thinkers; the ability to work collaboratively with students in my cohort; and the interesting practica placements have all been part of an excellent experience at NLU.
If you know of an NLU student at any level - bachelor's, master's, doctoral - who has an inspiring story to tell, nominate them for our monthly series by emailing Susan Barnett, Director of Communications, at email@example.com.

't Landje
Fred de Heij studied at the Rietveld Art Academy in the period 1978-83. After his graduation, he began working as an illustrator. He has made illustrations for children's books like 'Bolke de Beer', and for text stories in magazines varying from Donald Duck to Penthouse. His comics have appeared in magazines like Incognito, Taptoe ('Marloes' with Patty Klein) and Penthouse Comix (using the pseudonym Emiel Jansens).
Marloes (Taptoe Winterboek 1991)
For the girl's magazine Tina, he has created the V.O.C. comic 'De Zeemeeuw' and the gag strip 'Fanny'. He self-published 'Filo' in 1997-99, a bizarre small press comic centered around a violent clown, full of malice and eroticism, which was strongly influenced by erotic artist Milo Manara. Although he is mainly active as a painter since 2000, he has been regularly active at the comics front since 2005.
Amsterdam-based publisher Xtra has released his erotic thriller 'Afgezaagd' in 2005, as well as some of his older Tina work. De Heij and Xtra also launched his De Heij's own magazine Pulpman, a remarkable mix of horror, pornography, social satire and violence. The title mainly runs De Heij's own comics, including 'Pulpman', 'De Schuilplaats', ''t Landje' and 'Biechten', and editorials, but also the work of artists like Bandirah, Argibald, Aimée de Jongh and Hallie Lama, as well as foreign material. Xtra has published most of these stories in book format, including the English edition of ''t Landje' ('The Little Land') and the crime noir 'Phinny - Rendez-vous' (2012). In 2014, Xtra released 'Claire Dewitt - Tot in de dood', the first installment of the horror western series he created with Willem Ritstier.
Pulpman - Drijfzand (Pulpman #2)
De Heij has also published several erotic books with Divina, such as 'Feestelijke Hoogtepunten' and ''n Net Meisje'. He is additionally present in Eppo with the World War II comic 'Haas', written by the magazine's editor and publisher Rob van Bavel, and contributes as a columnist to Stripnieuws. He is the winner of the Dutch Stripschapprijs in 2014.

Six Nations
Masi scoops Six Nations award
ESPNscrum Staff
March 23, 2011
Andrea Masi scored Italy's try in a famous win over France © Getty Images
Andrea Masi has become the first Italian player to be named Six Nations Player of the Championship.
The Racing Metro utility back secured 30% of the voting, beating Azzurri team-mate Fabio Semenzato into second. Ireland's Sean O'Brien and England fly-half Toby Flood came in third and fourth respectively.
For the first time the shortlist was decided by bringing together the Man of the Match winners from the opening four rounds of matches, before the public were given a chance to vote for the winner.
Masi crossed for Italy's vital try in their first Championship win over France, while Nick Mallett's side also ran Ireland and Wales close only to finish bottom of the pile after defeat to Scotland.
"It has been a Championship of highs and lows for the Italian team," he said. "Our win against France will go down in rugby history but to finish sixth frustrated us all.
"However, to be named the Player of the Championship is a fantastic way to end what has been one of the most competitive Championships I can remember.
"We have worked hard this year and can be proud of our achievements. Italian rugby continues to strengthen and we are very happy with our progress as a team. To be the first Italian voted to win this award by the fans is a huge compliment."
Meanwhile, Italy centre Gonzalo Canale has been suspended for two weeks for a dangerous tackle on Simon Danielli in last weekend's 21-8 Six Nations defeat by Scotland.
Canale appeared before an independent Six Nations disciplinary committee in London where it was decided his offence was at the low end of severity. The Clermont Auvergne back is able to resume playing on April 4 and has the right of appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here you can find answers to frequently asked questions about Markup.
- What is Markup?
- Why yet another template engine?
- Why XML-based?
- So then why not just use Kid?
- What are the main differences between Kid and Markup?
- What other stuff is in the toolkit?
What is Markup?
We like to call it a "toolkit for stream-based generation of markup for the web". The largest feature provided by Markup is an XML-based template engine that is heavily inspired by Kid.
Why yet another template engine?
We'll let Ryan Tomanko, the author of Kid, answer this one:
"There's at least four billion and nine text based template languages for Python but there aren't a lot of options that fit nicely into the XML tool-chain. Or, if they do fit nicely into the XML tool-chain, they don't fit nicely with Python."
See his article "In search of a Pythonic, XML-based Templating Language" for the details.
Why XML-based?
Most template engines for web applications are character-stream based: they know nothing about the format of the response body that is being generated. They simply substitute variable expressions, and provide some directives for looping, conditionals, etc. Thus they can be used to generate any kind of textual output, be it HTML, plain text emails, program code, or really anything else.
However, 99% of the templates used by web applications generate some kind of XML/HTML-based markup. We believe that web applications can benefit from a template engine that "knows what it's doing" when it comes to markup. You don't need to worry about generating output that is not well-formed, nor do you need to worry about accidentially not escaping some data, thereby greatly reducing the risk for introducing XSS attack vectors. Furthermore, your templates look a lot more like the targetted output format: an HTML template looks like HTML, a template for an RSS feed looks like RSS. Directives in text-based template languages often result in rather messy templates, or produce excessive amounts of unnecessary white space.
In addition, text-based templates don't even work all that well for many text formats. Imagine you want to generate a plain text email or an iCalendar file. How do you deal with important concerns such as line-wrapping and white-space in your templates? You may be better off using specialized formatters.
So then why not just use Kid?
We think that Kid represents a huge step forward for XML-based templating in Python. Match templates and the generator-based processing model are extremely powerful concepts.
But arguably Kid also has some basic design problems. For example, Kid generates Python code from templates, which adds a lot of complexity to the code and can make the process of locating and fixing template errors a true nightmare. A syntax error in a template expression will cause an exception that points somewhere in the generated code. In addition, as Kid is based on ElementTree, and the ElementTree API doesn't provide location information for parse events, exceptions reported by Kid often don't include information about what part of the template caused the error.
We felt these problems would best be addressed by developing a new engine form scratch, as opposed to trying to "fix" Kid.
What are the main differences between Kid and Markup?
Markup executes templates directly, there's no code generation phase. Expressions are evaluated in a more forgiving way by walking the AST. Template variables are stored on a stack, which means that some variable set in a loop deep in the template won't leak into the rest of the template. And even though Markup doesn't generate Python code for templates, it generally performs slightly better than Kid (even up to 2x in some of our tests, but the exact differences depend on a lot of factors).
Markup does not depend on ElementTree. It uses Expat for parsing XML, and is based on streaming slightly abstracted parse events through the processing pipeline. It uses XInclude – instead of Kids' py:extends – to allow template authors to factor out common bits. For match templates, it uses XPath expressions instead of the ElementTree API.
What other stuff is in the toolkit?
Beyond the template engine, Markup provides:
- a unified stream-based processing model for markup, where
- streams can come from XML or HTML text, or be generated programmatically using a very simple syntax.
- XPath can be used to query any stream, not just in templates.
- Different serialization methods (XML and HTML) for streams.
- An HTML "sanitizing" filter to strip potentially dangerous elements or attributes from user-submitted HTML markup.

Snowkiting the Sierra: California's only snowkite center opens at Royal Gorge
NORDEN, Calif. – California's first and only snowkite school opens today at Royal Gorge ski resort, offering customers state-of-the-art snowkiting equipment and expert instruction in a high Sierra meadow known for consistent wind.
Snowkiting is the growing winter sport of wind-powered skiing and snowboarding. Snowkiters capture the wind with a kite that is attached to their bodies by a harness. Powered by the wind, snowkiters can climb mountainous terrain, travel across flat meadows and perform aerial maneuvers and tricks. Sierra Snowkite Center is only the second snowkite school in the nation to partner with a ski resort.
Sierra Snowkite Center is led by North American Snowkite Tour Champion Tyler Brown. Brown is a Tahoe native who has traveled the world competing in snowkiting events, and was named the Best Overall Rider at the 2012 Superfly Event in Utah.
Brown and his team of snowkite instructors will offer group and private lessons, as well as guided backcountry snowkite tours. The center will also offer gear demos and a full selection of rental gear. The center also plans to host a snowkiting race series beginning the week of Jan 9.
"Whether you like to glide through untouched powder, launch gentle, soaring jumps or race across backcountry terrain powered by the wind, snowkiting has something for all skiers and riders," Brown said. "Sierra Snowkite Center is proud to partner with Sugar Bowl Resort and Royal Gorge to introduce snowkiting to Donner Summit and the Lake Tahoe area."
The center's instructors embrace a relaxed but effective teaching style that can be tailored to a wide range of snowkiters – families seeking a fun day of kiting, kiteboarders wanting to adapt their skills to the snow or intermediate snowkiters who want to perfect their technique and skills.
Sierra Snowkite's location at Van Norden Meadows offers consistent wind, 250 acres of undulating terrain, and a wide array of natural and man-made features. The meadow has both beginner and advanced terrain for snowkiting. After recent snowstorms, the Sierra Snowkite Center terrain is covered in deep snow, making for prime snowkiting conditions.
Only moderate wind is needed for snowkiting, and a Sierra Snowkite Center will update its website each morning at 7 a.m. to notify customers of wind conditions and hours of operation. The center is located on Soda Springs Road just off of Donner Pass Road (Highway 40) across from Soda Springs ski resort.
For more information on Sierra Snowkite Center visit http://www.sierrasnowkite.com, email email@example.com or call 530-816-0485. To learn more about Royal Gorge and Sugar Bowl Resort, go towww.royalgorge.com or http://www.sugarbowl.com.

csakon necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 13 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
A clean, simple, Web 2.0 style site for our startup
Desired Color Scheme:
Orange (primary), your choice (secondary/tertiary)
Desired Style:
Web 2.0
Accepted File Formats:
Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
We need a very clean, simple, Web 2.0 style site for our startup currently named DataSolutions.
The primary design color is orange. The current icon we have for internal use is attached below. We want an orange that relates to the icon but is aesthetically pleasing(unlike the icon). We do not want gradients, it needs to be very clean and simple. You can choose one or more colors for the design that complement the orange you use. I don't care what the color/s are as long as the people can tell that the orange is our "official" color and the other color/s are pleasing to the eye.
I have attached a wireframe below that will give you an idea of the format of how the design should look. Our inspiration for the wireframe was http://www.37signals.com(1st) and http://www.pownce.com(2nd). We love 37signals because they do not provide too much text that people won't read anyway. All of the information about their company and products is big and easy to read. We like the idea of the banner that spans the entire width of the page just much like the yellow banner at 37signals, but don't feel limited to using that element if you don't want to. I also love the color scheme of http://www.ellislabs.com. They do a great job of bringing a lot of color to the page without being overbearing and still looking professional.
I will note that the the wireframe lines are there so you can see the format, not because we want the lines there. The width should be around 840px.

Oscar Pistorius' girlfriend told the athlete she was sometimes scared of him and complained about what she described as his short temper and jealousy in the weeks before he killed her, according to phone messages revealed at the Olympian's murder trial on Monday.
"I can't be attacked by outsiders for dating u AND be attacked by you, the one person I deserve protection from," Reeva Steenkamp wrote to Pistorius.
In another message read out loud by police Capt. Francois Moller, Steenkamp said she was sometimes afraid of the athlete: "I'm scared of you sometimes and how you snap at me and how you act at me."
U.S. & World
Moller extracted information from Steenkamp's phone and said he obtained more than a 1,000 exchanges between her and Pistorius on WhatsApp and other phone messaging applications. Moller said he was given two BlackBerry phones, two iPhones, two iPads and a Mac computer the day after the shooting death of Steenkamp.
Moller said the data on her phone would print to more than 35,000 pages. Of the fraction of exchanges between the couple, Moller said that about 90 percent were what he called normal and "loving" exchanges.
In earlier testimony Monday a neighbor testified that she heard gunshots as well as screams from both a man and a woman on the night that the double amputee runner fatally shot Steenkamp.
Anette Stipp's testimony matched some of the evidence given by other witnesses earlier in the trial who said they also heard a woman screaming around the time that Pistorius killed Steenkamp before dawn on Feb. 14, 2013. According to Pistorius' version of events, he thought Steenkamp was in bed when he fired his pistol. He did not describe any woman screaming.
The defense has countered that the neighbors were actually hearing Pistorius screaming in a high-pitched voice after he shot Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model. Pistorius has said he shot his girlfriend by mistake through a locked toilet door, thinking that she was an intruder in his home.
Stipp said under cross-examination that she heard gunshots while lying awake around 3 a.m. on the night of the shooting, and then heard the "terrified, terrified" screams of a woman. Her bedroom is situated across a grassy area about 70 meters (230 feet) from Pistorius' home, and the windows of the athlete's bathroom are visible from her window.
"The screaming at that stage just continued," said Stipp, who recalled looking out from a balcony at two houses with lights on in the gated estate where her family and Pistorius lived.
She said she told her husband Johan, who previously testified, that the screaming sounded as though a "family murder" had taken place.
"There was definitely a female screaming for quite a period," Anette Stipp said. "You could definitely hear two different voices."
She said she then heard a second set of shots, and the screaming stopped.
The defense has said that Pistorius fired into the door and then battered the door with a cricket bat to get to Steenkamp after realizing she was inside the toilet cubicle. It insists that some neighbors who testified mistook the sound of the cricket bat striking the door for gunshots.
Pistorius' camp also maintains that Pistorius fired with quick bursts that gave Steenkamp no time to scream, and so Pistorius did not realize he was shooting at Steenkamp. A South African police ballistics expert, however, has testified that the first of three bullets that struck Steenkamp hit her in the right hip, giving her time to scream before she was hit in the arm and head.
Nel has said he will wrap up his case against Pistorius this week after calling four or five more witnesses to support his contention that the Olympian intentionally killed Steenkamp after an argument. The defense will then present its case.
Judicial officials say the trial will continue until May 16, with a recess in April.

What's the biggest risk you've ever taken?
The Gateway Market was hugely ambitious. We felt, well we've been a part of the hotel business and the restaurant business, how hard can the grocery business be? Much harder. It's like the restaurant business on steroids. It was a lot to get a handle on. We loved it from day one. But we felt like somebody had given us the keys to a Lamborghini; we just didn't know how to drive it. So it took us a few years to figure out how to drive that thing.

User:Doru001/Pacman - An Introduction
Packages in arch repositories are constantly upgraded. When a package is upgraded, its old version is removed from the repository. There are no major arch releases. Each package is upgraded as new versions become available from upstream sources. The repository is always coherent. (The packages in the repository always have compatible versions.) This type of repository is called a rolling archive. Before packages are upgraded in the core, extra and community repositories, they are tested in the testing repository, to ensure that the distribution is stable.
Pacman saves to disk a list of packages available in the repository. This list is not automatically updated (refreshed). (The list is a.k.a. repository databases and the update of the list is a.k.a. synchronizing those databases.) The list can be refreshed using
pacman -Syu.
pacman -Syy refreshes the list even if it appears to be up to date. (Running
pacman -Syy is a good idea after the repository mirror used by
pacman is changed by the user. Mirrors can be out of sync and the package list from the old mirror may not correspond to the package list of the new mirror, even though the dates of the lists may suggest that they do. See Installing packages for an unlikely but possible problem which could arise from the use of this command.)
Installing packages
pacman -S mypackage installs
mypackage and all its dependencies. If
mypackage has been upgraded by the user since the last refresh of the package list, then the required version of
mypackage will not be found in the repository and
pacman -S mypackage fails with a message.
mypackage's dependencies are listed in the Depends On entry of
mypackage's metainformation. (
mypackage's metainformation can be listed with
pacman -Si mypackage for packages in the package list and with
pacman -Qi mypackage for installed packages). If
mypackage or its dependencies are already installed, they are upgraded to the version in the package list. If
pacman -S mypackage finds any conflicts (installed packages which are listed in the Conflicts With entry of the
mypackage's metainformation) then it fails with a message.
pacman -S mypackage does not check for broken dependencies which may appear from the possible upgrade of
mypackage or one of its dependencies. It is possible that an already installed package which depends on an upgraded package is unable to function with the new version of the upgraded package. This can happen if the package list has been refreshed by the user but all installed packges have not been upgraded and it could result in a non functional system after reboot.
The solution is to never run
pacman -Sy, which could be followed by
pacman -S mypackage, but to always run
pacman -Syu, which upgrades all packages after the refresh of the package list. This ensures that when
pacman -S mypackage is run all packages installed on the system have compatible versions.
pacman -Syu is run there is a small chance that corrections on the system will be needed in order to have it running as desired. Important corrections are advertised here: Arch Home. They are very rare (six in 2012). However, it is advisable to run
pacman -Syu only when time to perform corrections is available to the user and not when the system is relied upon. It is advisable to run
pacman -Syu often in order to minimize the difficulty of adjustment, whenever it arises.
See also Installing packages.
Removing packages
pacman -R mypackage removes
mypackage. If other packages depend on
mypackage, then it fails with a message. To remove them too,
pacman -Rc mypackage should be run.
pacman -R mypackage does not remove
mypackage's dependencies which have been installed as dependencies (not explicitly, Install Reason in
mypackage's metainformation) and are not required by other packages. For that to happen,
pacman -Rs mypackage must be run. The complete command would be
pacman -Rcs mypackage.
See also Removing Packages.
pacman always lists packages to be installed or removed and asks for permission before it takes action. To inhibit any action,
-p should be used.
pacman operates at a lower level compared to
yum and
apt. This requires more attention from the user, but it also empowers him or her with better control over his or her system.
For those who have used other Linux distributions before, there is a helpful Pacman Rosetta.
