Before we begin, I would like to point out that this guide was started for USB based Wacom tablets, so much of the info in here focuses on that. Usually it's recommended to rely on Xorg's auto-detection or to use a dynamic setup. However for an internal tablet device one might consider a static Xorg setup in case autodetection does not work. A static Xorg setup is usually not able to recognize your Wacom tablet when it's connected to a different USB port or even after unplugging and replugging it into the same port, and as such it should be considered as deprecated.
It is also worth to mention that this wiki article is very much influenced by the very helpful Gentoo Linux Wiki - HOWTO Wacom Tablet, which I recommend anyone visit if they would like to learn about things that are not covered here.
Check if kernel drivers needed (usually not)
After plugging in the tablet (in case of a USB device) check
lsusb and/or
dmesg to see if the kernel recognizes your tablet. It should also be listed in
In case it's not recognized, which might happen for new devices not supported by current kernel, it is also possible to install git version of kernel driver from: stable branch (wacom-linux-gitAUR), next branch (wacom-next-linux-gitAUR) or mainline branch (wacom-mainline-linux-gitAUR).
Install Wacom drivers
Thanks to The Linux Wacom Project, you only need to install the xf86-input-wacom package, which contains everything needed to use a Wacom tablet on Linux.
# pacman -S xf86-input-wacom
Automatical setup
Newer versions of X should be able to automatically detect and configure your device. Before going any further, reboot your system and (re-)start X. Test if your device was recognized completely (i.e., that both pen and eraser work, if applicable), by issuing command
$ xsetwacom --list devices
which should detect all devices with type, for example
Wacom Bamboo 2FG 4x5 Pen stylus id: 8 type: STYLUS Wacom Bamboo 2FG 4x5 Pen eraser id: 9 type: ERASER Wacom Bamboo 2FG 4x5 Finger touch id: 13 type: TOUCH Wacom Bamboo 2FG 4x5 Finger pad id: 14 type: PAD
You can also test it by opening Gimp or Xournal and checking the extended input devices section, or whatever tablet-related configuration is supported by the software of your choice.
For this to work you don't need any
xorg.conf file, any configurations are made in files in the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder.
If everything is working you can skip the manual configuration and proceed to the configuration section to learn how to further customize your tablet.
With the arrival of Xorg 1.8 support for HAL was dropped in favor of udev which might break auto-detection for some tablets as fitting udev rules might not exist yet, so you may need to write your own.
If you have linuxwacom or linuxwacom-dev remove those packages first. They are known to cause problems with newer version of X. xf86-input-wacom is the only package you need to install the X11 drivers.
Manual setup
A manual configuration is done in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf or in a separate file in the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory.
The Wacom tablet device is accessed using a input event interface in
/dev/input/ which is provided by the kernel driver.
The interface number
event?? is likely to change when unplugging and replugging into the same or especially a different USB port.
Therefore it's wise to don't refer to the device using it's concrete
event?? interface (static configuration) but by letting udev dynamically create a symbolic link to the correct
event file (dynamic configuration).
Dynamic with udev
xorg.conf configuration if you are using the wacom-udev package from AUR.
Assuming udev is already installed you simply need to install wacom-udevAUR from AUR, e.g. by using
$ yaourt -S wacom-udev
After (re-)plugging in your USB-tablet (or at least after rebooting) some symbolic links should appear in
/dev/input refering to your tablet device.
$ ls /dev/input/wacom* /dev/input/wacom /dev/input/wacom-stylus /dev/input/wacom-touch
If not, your device is likely to be not yet included in the udev configuration from wacom-udev which resides in
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/10-wacom.rules. It's a good idea to copy the file e.g. to
10-my-wacom.rules before modifiing it, else it might be reverted by a package upgrade.
Add your device to the file by duplicating some line of another device and adapting idVendor,idProduct and the symlink name to your device. The two id's can by determined using
$ lsusb | grep -i wacom Bus 002 Device 007: ID 056a:0062 Wacom Co., Ltd
In this example idVendor is 056a and idProduct 0062. In case you have device with touch (e.g. Bamboo Pen&Touch) you might need to add a second line for the touch input interface. For details check the linuxwacom wiki Fixed device files with udev.
Save the file and reload udev's configuration profile using the command udevadm control --reload-rules Check again the content of /dev/input to make sure that the wacom symlinks appeared. Note that you may need to plug-in the tablet again for the device to appear.
The files of further interest for the Xorg configuration are
/dev/input/wacom and for a touch-device also
Serial devices
The wacom-udevAUR should also include support for serial devices. Users of serial tablets might be also interested in the inputattach tool from linuxconsoleAUR package. The inputattach command allows to bind serial device into /dev/input tree, for example with:
# inputattach --w8001 /dev/ttyS0
See man inputattach for help about available options.
As for USB devices one should end up with a file
/dev/input/wacom and proceed with the Xorg configuration.
Static setup
If you insist in using a static setup just refer to your tablet in the Xorg configuration in the next section using the correct
/dev/input/event?? files as one can find out by looking into
Xorg configuration
In either case, dynamic or static setup you got now one or two files in
/dev/input/ which refer to the correct input event devices of your tablet. All that is left to do is add the relevent information to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, or a dedicated file under
The exact configuration depends on your tablet's features of course.
xsetwacom --list devices might give helpful informations on what InputDevice sections are needed for your tablet.
An example configuration for a Volito2 might look like this
Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # or the corresponding event?? for a static setup Option "Type" "stylus" Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY Option "Mode" "Relative" # other option: "Absolute" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" Option "tilt" "on" # add this if your tablet supports tilt Option "Threshold" "5" # the official linuxwacom howto advises this line EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "eraser" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # or the corresponding event?? for a static setup Option "Type" "eraser" Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY Option "Mode" "Relative" # other option: "Absolute" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" Option "tilt" "on" # add this if your tablet supports tilt Option "Threshold" "5" # the official linuxwacom howto advises this line EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "cursor" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" # or the corresponding event?? for a static setup Option "Type" "cursor" Option "USB" "on" # USB ONLY Option "Mode" "Relative" # other option: "Absolute" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection
Make sure that you also change the path (
"Device") to your mouse, as it will be
/dev/input/mouse_udev now.
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse_udev" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "5" EndSection
Add this to the ServerLayout section
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
And finally make sure to update the indentifier of your mouse in the ServerLayout section – as mine went from
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
General concepts
The configuration can be done in two ways temporary using the `xsetwacom` tool, which is included in xf86-input-wacom or permanent in
xorg.conf or better in a extra file in
The possible options are identical so it's recommended to first use `xsetwacom` for testing and later add the final config to the Xorg configuration files.
Temporary configuration
For the beginning it's a good idea to inspect the default configuration and all possible options using the following commands.
$ xsetwacom --list devices # list the available devices for the get/set commands Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger touch id: 12 type: TOUCH Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad id: 13 type: PAD Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Pen stylus id: 17 type: STYLUS Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Pen eraser id: 18 type: ERASER $ xsetwacom --get "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5" all # using the device name $ xsetwacom --get 17 all # or equivalently use the device id $ xsetwacom --list parameters # to get an explanation of the Options $ man wacom # get even more details
Caution, don't use the device id when writing shell scripts to set some options as the ids might change after an hotplug.
Options can be changed with the
--set flag. Some useful examples are
$ xsetwacom --set "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger touch" ScrollDistance 50 # change scrolling speed $ xsetwacom --set "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger touch" Gesture off # disable multitouch gestures $ xsetwacom --set "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger touch" Touch off # disable touch
For further configuration tips and tricks see below in #Specific configuration tips.
Permanent configuration
To make a permanent configuration the preferred way for Xorg>1.8 is to create a new file in
52-wacom-options.conf with the following content.
Section "InputClass" Identifier "Wacom Bamboo stylus options" MatchDriver "wacom" MatchProduct "Pen" # Apply custom Options to this device below. Option "Rotate" "none" Option "RawSample" "20" Option "PressCurve" "0,10,90,100" EndSection Section "InputClass" Identifier "Wacom Bamboo eraser options" MatchDriver "wacom" MatchProduct "eraser" # Apply custom Options to this device below. Option "Rotate" "none" Option "RawSample" "20" Option "PressCurve" "5,0,100,95" EndSection Section "InputClass" Identifier "Wacom Bamboo touch options" MatchDriver "wacom" MatchProduct "Finger" # Apply custom Options to this device below. Option "Rotate" "none" Option "ScrollDistance" "18" Option "TapTime" "220" EndSection Section "InputClass" Identifier "Wacom Bamboo pad options" MatchDriver "wacom" MatchProduct "pad" # Apply custom Options to this device below. Option "Rotate" "none" # Setting up buttons Option "Button1" "1" Option "Button2" "2" Option "Button3" "3" Option "Button4" "0" EndSection
The identifiers can be set arbitrarily. The option names are (except for the buttons) identical to the ones listed by
xsetwacom --list parameters and especially also in
man wacom. As noted in #Remapping Buttons the button ids seem to be different than the ones for
Specific configuration tips
Check out the [Howto section] in the Linuxwacom wiki.
Changing orientation
If you want to use your tablet in a different orientation you have to tell this to the driver, else the movements don't cause the expected results. This is done by setting the Rotate option for all devices. Possible orientations are none,cw,ccw and half. A quick way is e.g.
$ for i in 12 13 17 18; do xsetwacom --set $i Rotate half; done # remember the ids might change when hotplugging
or use the following script like this
./wacomrot.sh half
#!/bin/bash device="Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5" stylus="$device Pen stylus" eraser="$device Pen eraser" touch="$device Finger touch" pad="$device Finger pad" xsetwacom --set "$stylus" Rotate $1 xsetwacom --set "$eraser" Rotate $1 xsetwacom --set "$touch" Rotate $1 xsetwacom --set "$pad" Rotate $1
Remapping Buttons
It's possible to remap the buttons with hotkeys.
Sometimes it needs some trial&error to find the correct button IDs. For me they even differ for
xsetwacom and the
xorg.conf configuration. Very helpful tools are
xev or
xbindkeys -mk. An easy way to proceed is the following
$ xsetwacom --get "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button 1 1 $ xsetwacom --get "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button 2 2 $ xsetwacom --get "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button 3 3 $ # and so on
Then fire up
xev from a terminal window, place your mouse cursor above the window and hit the buttons and write down the ids.
The syntax
The syntax of
xsetwacom is flexible but not very well documented. The general mapping syntax (extracted from the source code) for xsetwacom 0.17.0 is the following.
KEYWORD [ARGS...] [KEYWORD [ARGS...] ...] KEYWORD + ARGS: key [+,-]KEY [[+,-]KEY ...] where +:key down, -:key up, no prefix:down and up button BUTTON [BUTTON ...] (1=left,2=middle,3=right mouse button, 4/5 scroll mouse wheel) modetoggle toggle absolute/relative tablet mode displaytoggle toggle cursor movement among all displays which include individual screens plus the whole desktop for the selected tool if it is not a pad. When the tool is a pad, the function applies to all tools that are asssociated with the tablet BUTTON: button ID as integer number KEY: MODIFIER, SPECIALKEY or ASCIIKEY MODIFIER: (each can be prefix with an l or an r for the left/right modifier (no prefix = left) ctrl=ctl=control, meta, alt, shift, super, hyper SPECIALKEY: f1-f35, esc=Esc, up,down,left,right, backspace=Backspace, tab, PgUp,PgDn ASCIIKEY: (usual characters the key produces, e.g. a,b,c,1,2,3 etc.)
Some examples
$ xsetwacom --get "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button 1 3 # right mouse button $ xsetwacom --set "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button 1 "key +ctrl z -ctrl" $ xsetwacom --get "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button 1 key +Control_L +z -z -Control_L $ xsetwacom --set "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button 1 "key +shift button 1 key -shift"
even little macros are possible
$ xsetwacom --set "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button 1 "key +shift h -shift e l l o"
$ xsetwacom --set "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button 1 "key a b c" # press button 1 -> abc $ xsetwacom --set "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button 1 "key d" # press button 1 -> dbc WRONG!
A simple workaround is to reset the mapping by mapping to "":
$ xsetwacom --set "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button 1 "" # to reset the mapping $ xsetwacom --set "Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger pad" Button 1 "key d" # press button 1 -> d
Execute custom commands
Mapping custom commands to the buttons is a little bit tricky but actually very simple. You'll need xbindkeys so install it using
# pacman -S xbindkeys
To get well defined button codes add the following to your permanent configuration file, e.g.
in the InputClass section of your pad device. Map the tablet's buttons to some unused button ids.
# Setting up buttons (preferably choose the correct button order, so the topmost key is mapped to 10 and so on) Option "Button1" "10" Option "Button2" "11" Option "Button3" "12" Option "Button4" "13"
Then restart your Xorg server and verify the buttons using
xev or
xbindkeys -mk.
Now set up your xbindkeys configuration, if you don't already have one you might want to create a default configuration
$ xbindkeys --defaults > ~/.xbindkeysrc
Then add your custom key mapping to
~/.xbindkeysrc, for example
"firefox" m:0x10 + b:10 (mouse) "xterm" m:0x10 + b:11 (mouse) "xdotool key ctrl-z" m:0x10 + b:12 (mouse) "send-notify Test "No need for escaping the quotes"" m:0x10 + b:13 (mouse)
Application specific hotkeys
This is quite tricky as the usual tools don't allow application specific hotkeys. However I found the idea quite appealing to use the buttons for different thinks depending on the application.
To make this possible I use a python script which uses xorg-xprop, xdotools and the custom commands setup from the last section, which depends on xbindkeys.
Change the mappings in
"appkey 1" m:0x10 + b:10 (mouse) "appkey 2" m:0x10 + b:11 (mouse) "appkey 3" m:0x10 + b:12 (mouse) "appkey 4" m:0x10 + b:13 (mouse)
And copy the following script to a file named
appkey somewhere in your path (
$PATH) and make it executable using
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/appkey
#!/usr/bin/python # written in 2012 by buergi # this script is public domain, no rights reserved, CC0 # do with it whatever you want import sys from subprocess import Popen,PIPE def get_active_window_class(sep=':'): p = Popen(['xdotool', 'getactivewindow'], stdout=PIPE) winid = p.communicate()[0] p = Popen(['xprop', '-id', winid, 'WM_CLASS'], stdout=PIPE) try: out = p.communicate()[0].decode('ascii') except UnicodeDecodeError as e: return try: tmp = out.split(' = ',1)[1] winclass = sep.join(tmp.split('", "'))[1:-2] except IndexError as e: return return winclass def send_key(keystroke): Popen(['xdotool', 'key', keystroke]) def main(argc,argv): key=0 if argc==2: key=argv[1] else: print("Usage: %s KEY"%argv[0]) cls = get_active_window_class() if 'Firefox' in cls: # my configuration for Pentadactyl if key=='1': send_key('shift+h') if key=='2': send_key('shift+l') if key=='3': send_key('Escape') send_key('r') if 'Inkscape' in cls: if key=='1': send_key('F1') if key=='2': send_key('F2') if key=='3': send_key('ctrl+F6') if key=='4': # toggle finger touch p=Popen(['xsetwacom','--get','Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger touch','Touch'],stdout=PIPE) stat = p.communicate()[0].decode('ascii').strip() istat = 'on' if 'off' in stat else 'off' Popen(['xsetwacom','--set','Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Finger touch','Touch',istat]) return 0 if __name__ == '__main__': main(len(sys.argv),sys.argv)
TwinView Setup
If you are going to use two Monitors the aspect ratio while using the Tablet might feel unnatural. In order to fix this you need to add
Option "TwinView" "horizontal"
To all of your Wacom-InputDevice entries in the
xorg.conf file.
You may read more about that HERE
Xrandr Setup
xrandr sets two monitors as one big screen, mapping the tablet to the whole virtual screen and deforming aspect ratio. For a solution see this thread: archlinux forum.
If you just want to map the tablet to one of your screens, first find out what the screens are called
$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384 HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 1680x1050 60.0 ... VGA-0 connected 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 1680x1050 60.0 ...
Then you need to know what is the ID of your tablet.
$ xsetwacom --list devices WALTOP International Corp. Slim Tablet stylus id: 12 type: STYLUS
In my case I want to map the tablet (ID: 12) to the screen on the right, which is "VGA-0". I can do that with this command
$ xsetwacom --set 12 MapToOutput "VGA-0"
This should immediately work, no root necessary.
If xsetwacom replies with "Unable to find an output ..." an X11 geometry string of the form WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y can be specified instead of the screen identifier. In this example
$ xsetwacom --set 12 MapToOutput "1920x1080+1920+0"
should also map the tablet to the screen on the right.
Pressure curves
You can add two options to xorg.conf to change how the pressure is registered when putting pressure on the pen. Example:
Option "PressCurve" "50,0,100,50" # Custom preference Option "Threshold" "60" # sensitivity to do a "click"
Application-specific configuration
The GIMP
To enabled proper usage, and pressure sensitive painting in The GIMP, just go to Preferences → Input Devices → Configure Extended Input Devices.... Now for each of your eraser, stylus, and cursor devices, set the mode to Screen, and remember to save.
- Please take note that if present, the pad device should be kept disabled as I do not think The GIMP supports such things. Alternatively, to use such features of your tablet you should map them to keyboard commands with a program such as Wacom ExpressKeys.
- You should also take note that the tool selected for the stylus is independent to that of the eraser. This can actually be quite handy, as you can have the eraser set to be used as any tool you like.
For more information checkout the Setting up GIMP section of GIMP Talk - Community - Install Guide: Getting Wacom Drawing Tablets To Work In Gimp.
As in The GIMP, to do the same simply got to File → Input Devices.... Now for each of your eraser, stylus, and cursor devices, set the mode to Screen, and remember to save.
Krita 2.0 and later only require that QT is able to use your tablet to function properly. If your tablet is not working in Krita, then make sure to check it is working in QT first. The effect of tablet pressure can then be tweaked in the painttop configuration, for example by selecting opacity, then selecting pressure from the drop down and adjusting the curve to your preference.
For earlier versions of Krita, simply go to Settings → Configure Krita... Click on Tablet and then like in Inkscape and GIMP set stylus and any others' mode to screen.
My current setup is :
Guest OS: Windows XP Tablet: Wacom Graphire4 Linux Driver: xf86-input-wacom 0.8.4-1
First, make sure that your tablet works well under Arch. Then, download and install the last driver from Wacom website on the guest OS. Shutdown the virtual machine, go to Settings > USB. Select Add Filter From Device and select your tablet (e.g. WACOM CTE-440-U V4.0-3 [0403]). Select Edit Filter, and change the last item Remote to Any.
Newer tablets & Troubleshooting
Newer tablets's drivers might not be in the kernel yet, and additional manipulations might be needed. For example, for the Wacom Bamboo Connect CTL-470/k and Pen & Touch CTH670, follow the instructions in this thread. There seems to be a problem with the CTH670 that is fixed in the attachment found in this post To compile it use the same instructions as in this thread
Dynamic Xorg setup with HAL (deprecated)
To use a Wacom/WALTOP/N-Trig tablet with HAL Xorg hotplugging create
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-tablet.fdi with this code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input"> <match key="info.product" contains="Wacom"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">wacom</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.Type" type="string">stylus</merge> </match> <match key="info.product" contains="WALTOP"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">wacom</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.Type" type="string">stylus</merge> </match> </match> <match key="info.product" contains="HID 1b96:0001"> <match key="info.parent" contains="if0"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">wacom</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.Type" type="string">stylus</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo>
Then kill your X server, restart HAL and start the X server again.
Following fdi file is known to work with the Bamboo Fun tablet (model CTE-650). Using this file corrects several problems with the stylus that appear when using the default fdi file above. Create the file
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-tablet.fdi with the following contents:

HAL tablet calibration fix
In order for calibration to work even when the screen is rotated (this applies for both serial and USB tablets), the wacom-names script is useful. It renames your X input devices so that they can be recognized by the linuxwacom driver. Download it from here. You need to be a Ubuntu forums member to download it. If you are not, here is the script. Remember, it was originally intended for Ubuntu so the instructions do not all apply to us Archers:
# wacom-names script by Roger E. Critchlow, Jr. (4-12-09) # modified by gali98/Favux (4-14-09) # # Place the wacom-names script in /etc/init.d/wacom-names and link it as # /etc/rc{2,3,4,5}.d/S27wacom-names. # Use "sudo update-rc.d wacom start 27 2 3 4 5 ." or "sudo update-rc.d wacom defaults 27". # Using S27 starts the script after hal and before gdm. This allows us to modify the hal # properties before the xserver sees them for the first time. # # The script renames the input devices back to what wacomcpl and xsetwacom expect them to # be, so rotation and interactive calibration work. It also enables xorg.conf & .xinitrc # style configuration of Wacom features like the stylus button(s) and calibration. # # The script needs to be executable. chmod +x wacom-names #! /bin/sh ## find any wacom devices for udi in `hal-find-by-property --key input.x11_driver --string wacom` do type=`hal-get-property --udi $udi --key input.x11_options.Type` ## rewrite the names that the Xserver will use hal-set-property --udi $udi --key info.product --string $type # ## To add a xorg.conf or xsetwacom (.xinitrc) style configuration, say mapping a stylus ## button, you could add to the script: #case $type in #stylus|eraser) ## eg: map stylus button 2 to mouse button 3 (right click) #hal-set-property --udi $udi --key input.x11_options.Button2 --string 3 # #;; #esac done
Copy and paste and (or directly) save it as wacom-names to /etc/rc.d and make it an executable.
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/wacom-names
Add wacom-names to the DAEMONS line in your
rc.conf. Make sure to put it after HAL, and do not background HAL, because this script will not work if it runs before HAL has started. For example:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @crond hal @acpid @alsa @gpm wacom-names)
Reboot your computer. From here you can either keep wacom-names in your rc.conf if your rotation script calls on xsetwacom directly, or if you just need the calibration data, you can now use wacomcpl.
If you are looking for more information, this thread at the Ubuntu forums is incredibly useful, and also provided the link to Rec's wacom-names script.

While Mali remains in global headlines with a March 22 military coup and rebel claims of an independent state, citizens in Equatorial Guinea are kept in the dark about the crisis unless they have access to international media, CPJ has gathered from interviews with journalists and a government spokesman.
For more than 32 years, President Teodoro Obiang, Africa's longest-serving leader, has kept a tight grip on Equatorial Guinea's politics, economy, and press -- either through direct control, patronage, or indirect pressure, according to CPJ research. Diverting from the official line is unthinkable for state media, and reporting critically about the ruling elite--which is embroiled in international criminal probes for allegedly siphoning off the country's oil wealth--is bad business for any of the country's private newspapers.
Government censorship extends to coverage of any political unrest abroad. At the onset of the Mali coup, RTVGE, the state-controlled national broadcaster, broke the news via its radio station, but did not carry out any further reporting on the issue, according to local sources who spoke to CPJ on condition of anonymity for fear of government reprisals. RTVGE also operates the only TV network in the country, but no mention of the coup has been aired on TV.
"We have not done any reports because it is not authorized to do so," one RTVGE journalist told CPJ, justifying the policy by citing "the context of 'African solidarity,' and our editorial line." The journalist said "RTVGE can air non-political international news like natural disasters." Election coverage, however, is apparently acceptable. "We were able to cover the elections in Senegal--just the period of the results," the journalist said.
Censorship in Equatorial Guinea is enforced at the order and discretion of Information Minister and Government Spokesman Jerónimo Osa Osa Ekoro.
Speaking to CPJ this week, Ekoro said that the government did not deem day-to-day reporting of political unrest in Mali or even Syria--where unrest has killed 9,000 people, according to the United Nations--worthy of broadcasting. "As long as the situation is unclear, we cannot keep broadcasting the same things all the time. We don't report as long as we don't have the conclusions." He acknowledged that international news is available to citizens in Equatorial Guinea via satellite.
"We give priority to national news and some international news. We only have an hour and we must pick the news to broadcast. It's like with Syria. We cannot publish every day. We wait for the conclusions. As long as every day it is the same thing, we don't deem important to broadcast."
A year ago, the government did not deem important to broadcast news about the uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East. Authorities even detained and temporarily suspended a state radio journalist over a mundane reference to the late Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi. Ekoro seemed fully aware of the international controversy. "We do not directly interfere in the internal interests of a country. We respect the sovereignty of other countries," he said, adding, "We were criticized for that over Libya. Why broadcast the problems of others?"
Ekoro also invoked a lack of resources to explain the absence of coverage. "We don't yet have the tools, the images of events around the world...unlike Western media which have a lot of means," he said. Yet, the government seems to have enough dollars to hire the services of international public relations firms to flood the Internet with positive news about the country, according to a report by the U.S. Department of Justice. Obiang has also offered US$3 million to sponsor a UNESCO prize in an attempt to polish his image.
But journalists in Equatorial Guinea are not able to raise questions about management of the country's wealth. Likewise, they are unable to report independently on the multiple international criminal investigations into alleged money-laundering by Obiang's son Teodorin. Instead, state media have exclusively relayed the government's spin about persecution and neo-colonialism. So much for Obiang's rhetoric that Equatorial Guinea has made significant strides in good governance, human rights, and political reform.

After my first was born, my husband and I had a lot of problems. We'd get in each other's way, argue about who was doing what, and it was just not how I wanted things to be after my second birth. So we spent a lot of time figuring out what I'd need help with. I wanted to spend as much time as possible with the baby, so I needed my husband to take care of ME.
I had a bag filled with nursing stuff (a book, snacks, a bottle of water, nursing pads, burp cloth), so he could just grab it if I forgot it, instead of having to play fetch.
Church friends brought us dinner for two weeks, so all he had to do was reheat dinner and push a plate of food in my face. He also made sure I was drinking plenty of water, and taking my vitamins, and the million and one supplements I was taking to help with my milk.
Every night before bed, he'd entertain the kids for a half hour so I could take a shower, or spend some time on the computer. He got bonding time, and I got me time. Getting just a little bit of time everyday to myself had an unexpected bonus for him too--once the kids were in bed, I was in a good enough mood to spend an hour or so with him. We'd talk, trade massages, watch a TV show, and just enjoy each other's company.
If thing were really chaotic, I offered him a choice. He could make dinner, or play with the kids. Either way it's a win, but he usually opted for the "easy" job of spending time with the kids, so I got to squeeze in a little alone time there, too.
The most important thing I've learned is to let him spend time with baby in his own way. He may change the diaper differently than I do, but he still gets it on there, and that's all that matters. Being critical makes him want to help less.

Tips for encouraging daddy to help out after birth
Some daddies are old pros and know just how to jump in and help out after a new baby arrives, making dinner, changing diapers, and pinch-hitting for mom when she's exhausted. But some new daddies are a little clueless and don't know quite how they fit in to the whole picture. What are some tips you can give moms to encourage new daddies to help out with their new little one?
After my first was born, my husband and I had a lot of problems. We'd get in each other's way, argue about who was doing what, and it was just not how I wanted things to be after my second birth. So we spent a lot of time figuring out what I'd need help with. I wanted to spend as much time as possible with the baby, so I needed my husband to take care of ME.
My hubby and I had our first together 10 months ago and he didn't know what to do. He wanted to help but really didn't know how. So here are some ideas that worked for us to make home more enjoyable for everyone.
Before I actually had our son, we cooked up simple things like spaghetti and chili and soup and stuff and just put it into freezer safe containers in proportioned sizes. This helped an awful lot when we got home because in all reality having a baby is hard on a guy too (even if we don't like to admit it). He just threw the portions into the microwave and presto meal done.
B'cuz I was nursing there wasn't much else he could help me with but I have to say, he was amazing with bringing me towels, receiving blankets, diapers wipes .. youu name it, he brought it.
He also got me walking, after giving birth it is important to get walking, it is like having a major surgery, youu could throw some clots. While I didn't want to walk, and my man helped me get walking a lot more then I wanted to. But he was considerate of how I was feeling with pain and everything.
The biggest thing a Daddy can do for Mommy?? Tell her she is more beautiful today then she was the day youu met her. Keep her self esteem up .. its not an easy job but it is one that needs to be done. Baby Blues are something that could be worse.
And Good luck with your new family :D
My daughter is almost 2.5. With her it was a learning experience for both of us. As my daughter would never nurse (I pumped for her instead) my hubby would usually change her diaper while I got the pump ready or the bottle (usually to save warming I would pump then feed when possible). At times he helped with simple chores (I had a c-section so I was not allowed to do things like vaccum) and would help make sure dinner was out for the next day and either I would pop something in the oven or he would as soon as he got home. We are currently trying for our 2nd and this time around we have discussed the need for him to help out a bit more so we both get some time with each child and some time as a family (plus I run an in home daycare so it will be busy). I am going to get some freezer meals done up, he will need to help clean up the house in the evening and he always does bath (then I do pjs).
My biggest tips:
- Don't do nothing ---when mom is ragged don't sit down with a book...as much as she doesn't say it, she will want to mame you!
-Don't whine about how hard your day was (especially after she kept the baby so you could sleep) and that you had nothing to do at lunch...she was lucky to have eaten lunch!
-Do as much prep work with or for her the night before (like prep for dinner, for her lunch, help with some laundry, etc...)
-Try to handle things for the 20 minutes so she can take a shower. Even if baby screamed the whole time, don't tell her that. Yes, you will have to fake being cool as a cucumber, but it will make her feel better!
- Do something sweet your first week or two back to work so she knows you appreciate her. Even though she is likely a mess, the house is a disaster, etc... she is grasping the ropes of a new life to care for! A boquet of flowers, a nice card, even order takeout from her fav place and bring it home (hell even her favourite cofee).
-Ask what you can do and be sincere. Pay attention to what she does today and try to once in a while be a step ahead (just so she doesn't have to ask!).
-Lastly, when she is so tired in the evening, suggest her favourite movie and maybe a snuggle on the couch or a foot rub. Something romantic but no strings attached, keep the work on the couple just so its not missed!
My kids are a bit older, 19, 10 and 7, but or last was the worst when it came to dad helping out. Not that it was his fault, he was living two states away working. He was there when she was born and did not leave her side (even when they cleaned her after delivery and took her to the nursery to be checked out and shots and all) until he had to go back to work. We both felt bad that he couldn't be there with her to further bond, but when she was 2 months old, we moved to where he was and she is now a daddy's girl. He worked 16 hour days back then, but when he got up for work every morning, he would spend time with her for a little while before he brought her (with clean diaper and fresh bottle) in to me. She was usually asleep when he he got home, but that was when he spent time with the older kids.
Our situation was not typical, and I do not recommend it to anyone. Because of jobs and insurance needs, we were apart for 8 months and decided that we will not do that again. But we both love our kids and daddy helps out where and when he can. (with some coaching from mom!)
You may have to be specific about what you need or want. As you said, some are born to be dads, and others may or may not want to be helpful, but just don't know how. Show him how to change a diaper, if he doesn't know. Show him how to fix a bottle. Also, after that, let him know (gently, nagging never works) that you'd like him to show baby off to the grandparents, or go for a ride, etc... Or even out for a picnic at the park. Babies like to feel and experience different things, and the leaves around the park may be a good experience, as well as touching sand and what not. There are usually baby swings too. When they're out, it's fine to catch up on cleaning and laundry, but don't forget to indulge in that nap or bubble bath or something.
When my daughter was born (nearly 3 years ago) my husband stayed home for a couple weeks.During that time he did a lot of the cooking and changed diapers if I didn't get to them first. I was breast feeding so he couldn't really help in that department. But he did spend a lot of time cuddling and giving attention to our little girl. After he went back to work I think was when the reality of the situation kicked in. We both like playing video games, I don't have a problem with it. But once he went back to work after 2 weeks home, after dinner he would go to the computer and spend most of the evening there. Same thing on weekends. I started to get really upset. I was at home with the baby all day, didn't have family that I could ask for help if I needed a break, and when he came home I got ignored and still didn't get a break. Sure I understand that you may need some down time after work, but the whole evening? I told him that I didn't care if he wanted to mess around on the computer for a while, but every minute of free time was too much. It felt like he was going out of his way to ignore us (me and the baby). I said to him that I was home with the baby all day without breaks but at least he got to work and be baby-free most of the day. My job doesn't stop because it's time for bed, I get woken up every 4-5 hours to feed and diaper the baby. Once we had that talk things got way better. He started spending time with us again, gave me breaks for showering or a soak in the tub to relax. I don't think that men realize how tolling it can be for a mother, especially a first time mom. They go to work and when they come home they know that's the end of their "work day" but I'm not sure it is always apparent without the mom telling him that her job is 24/7.
it is good 4 daddy 2 help out

Today a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention committee recommended that guys get the HPV vaccine. The series of shots protects against the types of genital human papillomavirus (the number one STD in the country) that cause most cases of cervical cancer and genital warts. It was made available in 2006 and is currently recommended for all 11 and 12-year old girls and women 13 through 26. And almost exactly two years ago, the FDA approved the vaccine for use in males as well.
But a recommendation is very different from an approval. And experts say this recommendation could lead to a much greater number of boys and men getting vaccinated against HPV. Additionally, it may mean that private insurers start covering the series of shots in guys. The committee voted to recommend it among 11 and 12-year old boys, but they maintained that guys up to 26 may also get vaccinated.
This is great news for you. Why? "If the boys are also immunized, it reduces the transmission back and forth," chairman of the Department of Preventative Medicine at Vanderbilt University, Dr. William Schaffner, told CNN.com. And the lower the transmission rates, the less chance you have of developing not just cervical cancer, but also vaginal, vulvar, and anal cancers. But our happiness over this new recommendation isn't purely selfish. Doctors say that men will benefit from the shots because the vaccine has been found to prevent penile and rectal cancer in men.
You may recall (unless you've understandably tried to block the memory) that last month Minnesota Representative and wannabe president Michele Bachmann went on national TV and insinuated that the HPV vaccine could be dangerous. Medical experts (which, bee tee dubs, Bachmann is not) maintain this is not true. Despite what you might have heard Bachmann or others say, numerous extensive studies have found that the vaccine is safe. For women and for men.
What do you think about the recommendation that guys get the HPV vaccine? Will you encourage your boyfriend to get it?

Apple managed to sell over 37 million iPhones in the first quarter, but bear in mind that Samsung has dozens of phones on offer rather than just one. Analysts believe Samsung will sustain the momentum and ship up to 30 million Galaxy S4s in the third quarter.
However, although Samsung and Apple dominate the market, it is not a two-horse race just yet. HTC is on the rebound and the HTC One is getting very positive reviews. LG's smartphone business is booming, Sony is still alive and kicking, while Lenovo is betting on Asian markets and doing very well in China.

TED-like talks will be among the newest features of the CP exhibit and will cover such key issues as sex trafficking and ministry outside the Bible Belt.
"Daily personalities who will appear in these interviews on the CP stage will include pastors, denominational leaders and other voices from across the convention who are knowledgeable and passionate about the Cooperative Program," Clayton said. "Messengers should find the schedule of programming at this display and visit as often as possible throughout their convention experience while in Baltimore."
Speakers will reflect a wide range of SBC leaders, including elected leaders, entity heads, seminary presidents and pastors, focusing on such topics as church revitalization, pastoring in urban settings, church planting, ethnic diversity, theological challenges, the Great Commission Resurgence and state conventions as well as issues affecting pastors' wives.
"The CP platform and stage display in the Exhibit Hall is an attempt to elevate, above the floor noise all around us, the long-held SBC values of international missions, theological education, church planting, evangelism, collegiate ministry, disaster relief, church revitalization, moral advocacy and so much more," Clayton said.
The CP booth reflects a partnership with and is positioned in the Exhibit Hall alongside the International Mission Board and North American Mission Board.
The SBC's ethnic diversity also will be emphasized in the CP booth and in the nearby Many Faces exhibit, said Ken Weathersby, SBC vice president for convention advancement.
"The Many Faces exhibit at the annual meeting is a strategic forum to highlight the diversity in the SBC," Weathersby said. "It is our hope and desire that the messengers would visit with the African American and ethnic leaders as they collaborate and network together to expand the Kingdom of God." A Many Faces reception will follow the Tuesday evening session of the annual meeting. The gathering will be held in Room 345 of the Baltimore Convention Center.
Reports of other entities' and ministries' plans for the Exhibit hall during the SBC's June 10-11 annual meeting follow:
INTERNATIONAL MISSION BOARD -- Recognizing the Great Commission was given to each believer in Christ through the church, the IMB exhibit will help visitors find what part they and their churches can play in "One Sacred Effort" to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth. The exhibit will feature take-away cards and stickers identifying specific people groups and ministry projects that an individual or church can pray for, partner to reach and engage with the Gospel.
Each take-away card will be grouped into providing Scripture resources, meeting human needs and sharing the Gospel in the global marketplace through various careers. The exhibit also contains sections for global affinity groups, so if God is leading an individual or church to a specific area of the world, they can talk with people working in that area, find out about its people groups and explore how to commit to a particular ministry project.
In addition to the printed cards and stickers, IMB representatives will show visitors the imb.org/one website, which is going live for the SBC meeting featuring the identified people groups and ministry needs. The website can be shared with fellow church members to help them find their place in God's eternal story of bringing people to Him.
NORTH AMERICAN MISSION BOARD -- Visitors to NAMB'S exhibit will meet some of the 32 Send North America city coordinators and regional mobilizers. NAMB representatives will help connect SBC attendees with resources to help them engage their entire church families in the Send North America strategy.
Attendees will learn more about the 2015 Send North American Conference and the Send North America Experience Tour. The conference and tour will provide pastors with venues in which they can help their congregations better understand how God is moving in North America and how they can join what He is doing through Send North America.
NAMB leaders also will participate in a variety of question-and-answer sessions sponsored by the SBC Executive Committee at the Cooperative Program exhibit.
LIFEWAY CHRISTIAN RESOURCES -- LifeWay's popular 8,000-square-foot Christian store will offer a wide selection of books, Bibles and other Christian products. Other LifeWay areas will present interactive displays highlighting research initiatives, church resources, conference centers and direct sales as well as the B&H Publishing Group.
Among the features at the LifeWay exhibit:
-- LifeWay Research's interactive 9-foot robot, popular at last year's SBC, will focus on the theme "Transformation," drawing attention to its Transformational Discipleship research.
-- Ministry experts from the church resources division will introduce the expanded Explore the Bible small group curriculum, the only book-by-book curriculum for all ages.
-- A special story time for kids will be held daily at 2 p.m. in the B&H Publishing Group area featuring noted children's authors reading their books. Veggie Tales characters Bob and Larry will appear each afternoon at 2:15 in the LifeWay store.
-- Book signings are scheduled in the LifeWay store throughout the convention by numerous authors such as Ben Carson, David Platt, Gary Chapman, Tom Elliff and Jerry Vines.
-- Exhibits featuring LifeWay "OneSource" endorsed products and providers will inform individuals and churches of discount purchasing options for items such as church buses and furniture, copiers, office supplies and background checks.
GUIDESTONE FINANCIAL RESOURCES — GuideStone's Wellness Center once again will offer free health checks valued at $150, allowing messengers and family members to have their blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose measured.
In the main booth, GuideStone representatives will offer reviews of participants' retirement accounts and answer questions about GuideStone's life and health plans, property and casualty coverage, and other GuideStone services. Churches will be able to order materials for Mission:Dignity Sunday, highlighting GuideStone's ministry to needy retired ministers and their widows.
GuideStone will offer several breakout sessions, including "Doctrines of Faith: Taking a proactive approach to our changing culture," in which a panel will discuss real-life situations churches need to know about for managing possible liability and risks. A free breakfast is included in this session at 8 a.m. Tuesday and 7:30 a.m. Wednesday; advanced registration is required at www.GuideStone.org/SBC14.
GuideStone's Compensation Planning course will be offered at 9 a.m. on Tuesday and its Retirement Income Solutions seminar at 1 p.m. on Monday and 2 p.m. on Tuesday. Advanced registration is recommended for the compensation and retirement income meetings, also at www.GuideStone.org/SBC14.
GuideStone also will make available a free copy of Nelson's Annual Preacher's Sourcebook (Volume 2), edited by GuideStone President O.S. Hawkins, to pastors/preachers. Quantities are limited.
ETHICS & RELIGIOUS LIBERTY COMMISSION -- "Questions and Ethics," a free book by ERLC President Russell D. Moore, will be distributed at the entity's booth in the Exhibit Hall.
Just days before the Supreme Court rules on the historic religious liberty case involving Hobby Lobby, join the ERLC for "Hobby Lobby and the Future of Religious Liberty," a panel discussion featuring Moore, Rick Warren, David Platt and Sam Rodriguez, at 9 p.m. Monday, June 9, in the Baltimore Hilton's Holiday Ballroom 4/5 & Corridor on Level 2. Slated Tuesday: "Questions & Ethics Live" with Moore and Matt Chandler at 5 p.m. fielding key theology, ministry and cultural questions in the Baltimore Hilton in the Holiday Ballroom 1/2/3 on Level 2. Space is limited for both events; go to erlc.com/sbc to register.
WMU -- "Missions for Life," WMU's tag line, will be the backdrop for learning about missions involvement opportunities for preschoolers, children, youth and adults at their exhibit. A special focus for Woman's Missionary Union in Baltimore is the conclusion of a yearlong celebration of its 125th anniversary. Churches are being encouraged to start new organizations through the 1–2–5 Challenge (begin one new organization, with two new leaders and five new members). Adjoining the WMU booth will be New Hope Publishers and WorldCrafts; all three divisions will conduct daily giveaways from their booths.
New Hope Publishers is partnering with WMU to tell the story of radical commitment to God's mission and will feature the new 2014–15 WMU emphasis book by national WMU President Debby Akerman, "Secrets to Surrender: Living Wholeheartedly." New Hope also is featuring the work of several SBC leaders including Taylor Field of Graffiti Ministries in New York City. Taylor will sign his books at the LifeWay store in the Exhibit Hall.
WorldCrafts, a fair-trade division of WMU, develops sustainable businesses among impoverished people around the world. A member of the Fair Trade Federation, WorldCrafts partners with dozens of artisan groups to import and sell hundreds of handcrafted items from more than 25 countries. Many of the artisan groups WorldCrafts partners with are working to free women from human exploitation and sex trafficking.
SOUTHERN BAPTIST FOUNDATION -- Planning for eternity will be the focus of the Southern Baptist Foundation's booth showcasing resources and services to facilitate giving, glorifying God and advancing His Kingdom. The foundation assists assist believers in quality estate planning as an act of stewardship and generosity. The foundation also provides prudent, socially screened investment services to churches and entities.
SOUTHERN BAPTIST HISTORICAL LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES -- Governed by the Council of Seminary Presidents, the SBHLA is the largest and most accessible collection of Baptist material in the world. The SBHLA exhibit will feature historic photographs of Baptist life, events, churches, ministries and missions. In addition to information on the library and archives, the booth also will have brochures on church archives and information on a new website, baptistheritage.com.
SEMINARY EXTENSION -- Seminary Extension has been training volunteers, leaders, teachers and pastors for Southern Baptist churches since 1951. Following its original mandate from the Southern Baptist Convention, Seminary Extension continues to offer opportunities for theological education and ministry training through independent study as well as group studies sponsored by churches, associations and state conventions. Individuals interested in this kind of training where they live and serve are invited to stop by Seminary Extension's booth in the Exhibit Hall for information. The director Randal Williams and student services associate Carmen Ferreira will field questions about promoting Seminary Extension in your area. They also look forward to visiting with alumni, current and former instructors.
GLOBAL HUNGER RELIEF -- A new campaign in the battle against hunger across North America and overseas will launch in the Exhibit Hall in Baltimore. The Global Hunger Relief (GHR) booth will be staffed in part by Southern Baptist missionaries who work hands-on with hunger relief efforts. The booth will focus particularly on relief efforts in Appalachia and among Syrian refugees. Also included in the GHR promotion will be two new music videos from Drew Cline, former lead singer for NewSong and current worship pastor of Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock, Ark.
More than 1 billion people around the world are hungry more often than not, and about 24,000 people -- over half of them young children -- die every day from various conditions that could have been alleviated by basic nutrition. Global Hunger Relief seeks to challenge a new generation of believers to personally take Jesus' love to starving souls in both word and deed. GHR is a collaborative effort of the World Hunger Fund partners: Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, NAMB, IMB, Baptist Global Response, WMU, LifeWay Christian Resources and the SBC Executive Committee.
GOLDEN GATE BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY -- This year, Golden Gate will highlight its fully accredited and fully online master of divinity degree as well as the pending sale and relocation of its campus in Mill Valley, Calif. Themed "Biblical, Missional, Global," Golden Gate's booth will tell the benefits of Gospel-centered education offered at the seminary's five urban campuses in northern and southern California, Arizona, the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Northwest.
MIDWESTERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY -- A display of selected books from the Charles Spurgeon Library will be featured at Midwestern's booth. Visitors can receive a free copy of "The Church Planting Survival Guide," a new resource on church planting from the seminary. And they can enter to win an iPad Mini loaded with books by Spurgeon. Numerous other materials will be available, including the latest copy of the Midwestern Magazine focusing on the theme of the relationship between the seminary and the local church. Both faculty and staff will be available to meet with alumni, friends and prospective students during the convention.
NEW ORLEANS BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY -- NOBTS will highlight its main campus programs, extension centers and fully online master's degrees. Faculty members will discuss degree programs and current campus news with alumni and potential students. In keeping with tradition, NOBTS will give away small bottles of Louisiana hot sauce.

Muhyi l'din al-Maghribi
Born: about 1220 in Spain
Died: about 1283 in Maragha, Iran
|Main Index
|Biographies index
Muhyi l'din al-Maghribi was an eminent astronomer who was born in Spain, but who first worked in Damascus in Syria. His life seems to have been greatly affected by the wars of the period and he seems to have found favour with the winning side eventually working with al-Tusi at the Mongol observatory at Maragha, Iran.
In 1256 the castle of Alamut was attacked by the forces of the Mongol leader Hulegu, a grandson of Genghis Khan, who was at that time set on extending Mongol power in Islamic areas. Some claim that al-Tusi, who was in the castle at this time, betrayed the defences of Alamut to the invading Mongols. Certainly Hulegu's forces destroyed Alamut and since Hulegu was himself interested in science, he treated al-Tusi with great respect. Hulegu attacked Baghdad in 1258, laid siege to the city, and entered it in February 1258. Hulegu, however, had made Maragha, in the Azerbaijan region of northwestern Iran, his capital.
Muhyi l'din went to Maragha in 1258 as a guest of Hulegu. Al-Tusi and Muhyi l'din were involved in the construction of an Observatory. Work began in 1259 west of Maragha, and traces of it can still be seen there today. The observatory at Maragha became operational in 1262. There is a unique manuscript by Muhyi l'din in which he lists precise observations made at the Maragha Observatory between 1262 and 1274. The author of [4] discusses the three observations of the sun and the mathematical methods which Muhyi l'din used to find the solar eccentricity and apogee.
Perhaps Muhyi l'din is most famous for his work on trigonometry. He wrote Book on the theorem of Menelaus and Treatise on the calculation of sines. In this second work he used interpolation to calculate an approximate value for the sine of one degree. He did this by two different methods, then compared the values he obtained achieving an accuracy of 4 places. A more accurate value was not obtained until the work of Qadi Zada and al-Kashi. In doing this work Muhyi l'din also found an approximate value for π which he compared with the bounds obtained by Archimedes using 96 inscribed and circumscribed polygons.
Muhyi l'din also considered the classical problem of doubling the cube which he approached by Hippocrates' method of finding two mean proportionals between two given lines.
Another important aspect of Muhyi l'din's work was the critical commentaries which he produced on some of the classic Greek works such as Euclid's Elements, Apollonius's Conics, Theodosius's Spherics, and Menelaus's Spherics. A particularly important commentary by Muhyi l'din is that on Book XV of the Elements (which was not written by Euclid). Hypsicles added a Book XIV to the Elements which dealt with the mensuration of the regular dodecahedron and icosahedron. Later Book XV was written in Arabic by an unknown author, perhaps using Greek works which are now lost. Book XV has common features with Book XIV by Hypsicles but contains considerably more.
The original Arabic version of Book XV is lost but there are four surviving manuscripts containing Muhyi l'din's commentary on it. We know that there was more than one version of the Arabic Book XV, for recently a Hebrew translation of Book XV has been discovered which has been translated from a different version to that which Muhyi l'din used for his commentary. Muhyi l'din's Book XV contains [3]:-
... the ratios of (1) the edges, (2) the faces, (3) the surface areas, (4) the perpendicular distances from the centre to a face and (5) the volumes of the five regular polyhedra inscribed in one sphere.

A spicy version of the classic, these latkes will perk up your party!
Preparation Time: 35 mins
Cooking Time: 30 mins
Yield: 16 x pancakes
LATKES: In a large bowl, using a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, mash the thawed peas. Grate the potatoes into the bowl with the peas. Add cornmeal, flour, 1 teaspoon of the curry powder, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, the turmeric, and the pepper. Stir to combine; add egg and mix until well combined.
In a large, heavy, non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Using a tablespoon, spoon potato mixture into skillet, using about 2 tablespoons per pancake (skillet should hold about 4 pancakes at a time). Flatten mixture slightly with a spatula. Cook pancakes 4 minutes, then flip and cook another 4 minutes or until golden brown, crisp and cooked through.
Remove pancakes from the skillet, then transfer them to a serving platter and keep warm in a 300°F oven until serving.
Cook remaining pancakes in batches, using 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet for each batch.
CHUTNEY-YOGURT SAUCE: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of curry powder, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, the yogurt, chutney, and lemon juice. Refrigerate until serving time. Serve pancakes with a dollop of the chutney-yogurt sauce.
* Time Saving Tip: A 4-oz package of skillet hash browns may be substituted for the fresh potatoes. Follow package directions for re-hydrating the potatoes, then drain them and proceed with the recipe, beginning by adding the mashed peas, etc.

Two former candidates
Sofia Vergara is currently on holiday with her on-again boyfriend Nick Loeb. Jessica Alba was in Paris yesterday for fashion week. Both were allegedly former candidates for the position that eventually ended up going to Katie Holmes. Sofia's name has come up often in recent days. Rumor has it she was sketched out by Scientology and made a run for it after a very, very brief courtship. Alba was involved in the now infamous story about the Mission Impossible audition process. Supposedly several actresses were seen for the role in the movie as well as in Tom Cruise's personal life. The list included Scarlett Johansson as well. If you believe that version of events, Alba was out of the running quite early. Scarlett, like Sofia, was apparently freaked out by Xenu, leaving Katie as a potential. Apparently Tom and Katie met, she disappeared for a week, and by the time she came back on the grid it was love and couch jumping. Do Sofia and Alba ever look at her life and wonder what if?

error(redirected from Experimental error)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia.
A mistake in a court proceeding concerning a Matter of Law or fact, which might provide a ground for a review of the judgment rendered in the proceeding.
The nature of the error dictates the availability of a legal remedy. Generally speaking, mistaken or erroneous application of law will void or reverse a judgment in the matter. Conversely, errors or mistakes in facts, upon which a judge or jury relied in rendering a judgment or verdict, may or may not warrant reversal, depending upon other factors involved in the error. However, appellate decisions make a distinction—not so much between fact and law, but rather, between harmless error and reversible error—in deciding whether to let stand or vitiate a judgment or verdict.
In litigation, a Harmless Error means that, despite its occurrence, the ultimate outcome of the case is not affected or changed, and the mistake is not prejudicial to the rights of the party who claimed that the error occurred. In other words, the party claiming error has failed to convince an appellate court that the outcome of the litigation would have been different if the error had not occurred. Most harmless errors are errors of fact, such as errors in dates, times, or inconsequential details to a factual scenario.
On the other hand, error that is deemed harmful in that it biased the ultimate decision of a jury or judge, constitutes reversible error, i.e., error that warrants reversal of a judgment (or modification, or retrial). A reversible error usually refers to the mistaken application of a law by a court, as where, for example, a court mistakenly assumes jurisdiction over a matter that another court has exclusive jurisdiction over. A court may erroneously apply laws and rules to admit (or deny the admission of) certain crucial evidence in a case, which may prove pivotal or dispositive to the outcome of the trial and warrant reversal of the judgment. Occasionally, a court may charge the jury with an instruction that applies the wrong law, or with an improper interpretation of the correct law. If the party claiming error can prove that the error was prejudicial to the outcome of the case or to the party's rights, the error will most likely be deemed reversible.
An example of potential harmful or reversible error of both law and fact might involve the age of a rape victim in a criminal trial for statutory rape, (where guilt is premised upon the actual age of the victim, and not on whether the sexual conduct was consensual).
In appellate practice, a party may not appeal an error that it induced a court to make (as by petitioning or moving the court to make a ruling which is actually erroneous). Appellate decisions refer to this as an invited error and will not permit a party to take advantage of the error by having the decision overruled or reversed.
The general use of the term error is often distinct from the use of the word mistake, especially in the law of contracts. In such cases, a Mistake of Law or fact (in the making of a contract, or performance thereupon) might result in a finding of harmless or reversible error, but the terms are not transitional.
n. a mistake by a judge in procedure or in substantive law, during a hearing, upon petitions or motions, denial of rights, during the conduct of a trial (either granting or denying objections), on approving or denying jury instructions, on a judgment not supported by facts or applicable law, or any other step in the judicial process. If a majority of an appeals court finds an error or errors which affect the result, or a denial of fundamental rights such as due process, the higher court will reverse the lower court's error in whole or in part (the entire judgment or a part of it), and remand (send it back) with instructions to the lower court. Appeals courts often find errors which have no prejudicial affect on the rights of a party and are thus harmless error. (See: harmless error, remand)

Foreign phrases: De fide et officio judicis non recipitur quaestio, sed de scientia, sive sit error juris, sive facti.The good faith and honesty of a judge are not to be quessioned, but his knowledge, whether it be in error of law or fact, may be. Praesentia corporis tollit errorem nominis; et veritas nominis tollit er rorem demonstrationis. The presence of the body cures an error in the name; and the accuracy of the name cures an error of description. Veritas nooinis tollit errorem demonstrationis. Correctness of the name cures error in the description. Veritas demonstratioois tollit errorem nominis. Correctness of the description cures the error of the name. Error qui non resistitur approoatur. An error which is not resisted or opposed is waived. Error fucatus nuda veritate in multis est probabilior; et saepenumero rationibus vincit veritatem error. Error arttully disguised is, in many instances, more probable than naked truth; and frequently error overwhelms truth by arguuentation. Non videntur qui errant consentire. Those who err are not deemed to consent. Falsa orthographia, sive falsa grammatica, non vitiat concessionem. Bad spelling or grammar does not vitiate a deed. Vitium clerici nocere non debet. Clerical errors ought not to prejudice. Communis error facit jus. Common error makes the law. Tutius erratur ex parte mitiori. It is safer to err on the side of leniency. In generalibus versatur error. Error thrives on generalities. Error juris nocet. An error of law works an injury. Nihil facit error nominis cum de corpore constat. An error in the name is of no consequence when there is certainty as to the person. Tutius semper est errare acquietando, quam in puniendo; ex parte miseric ordiae quam ex parte justitiae. It is always safer to err in acquitting than in punishing; on the side of mercy rather than on the side of justice. Negatio connlusionis est error in lege. The denial of a conclusion is error in law. Errores ad sua principia referre, est refellere. To refer errors to their sources is to refute them.

ERROR. A mistake in judgment or deviation from the truth, in matters of fact
and from the law in matters of judgment.
2.-1 Error of fact. The law has wisely provide that a person shall be excused, if, intending to do a lawful act, and pursuing lawful means to accomplish his object, he commit an act which would be criminal or unlawful, if it were done with a criminal design or in an unlawful manner; for example, thieves break into my house, in the night time, to commit a burglary; I rise out of my bed, and seeing a person with a drawn sword running towards my wife, I take him for one of the burglars, and shoot him down, and afterwards find he was one of my friends, whom, owing to the dimness of the light, I could not recognize, who had lodged with me, rose on the first alarm, and was in fact running towards my wife, to rescue her from the hands of an assassin; still I am innocent, because I committed an error as to a fact, which I could not know, and had, no time to inquire about.
3. Again, a contract made under a clear error is not binding; as, if the seller and purchaser of a house situated in Now York, happen to be in Philadelphia, and, at the time of the sale, it was unknown to both parties that the house was burned down, there will be no valid contract; or if I sell you my horse Napoleon, which we both suppose to be in my stable, and at the time of the contract he is dead, the sale is void. 7 How. Miss. R. 371 3 Shepl. 45; 20 Wend. 174; 9 Shepl. 363 2 Brown, 27; 5 Conn. 71; 6 Mass. 84; 12 Mass. 36. See Sale.
4. Courts of equity will in general correct and rectify all errors in fact committed in making deeds and contracts founded on good considerations. See Mistake.
5.-2. Error in law. As the law is, or which is the same thing, is presumed to be certain and definite, every man is bound to understand it, and an error of law will not, in general, excuse a man, for its violation.
6. A contract made under an error in law, is in general binding, for were it not so, error would be urged in almost every case. 2 East, 469; see 6 John. Ch. R. 166 8 Cowen, 195; 2 Jac. & Walk. 249; 1 Story, Eq. Jur. 156; 1 Younge & Coll. 232; 6 B. & C. 671 Bowy. Com. 135; 3 Sav. Dr. Rom. App. viii. But a foreign law will for this purpose be considered as a fact. 3 Shepl. 45; 9 Pick. 112; 2 Ev. Pothier, 369, &c. See, also, Ignorance; Marriage; Mistake.
7. By error, is also understood a mistake made in the trial of a cause, to correct which a writ of error may be sued out of a superior court.
ERROR, WRIT OF. A writ of error is one issued for a superior to an inferior court, for the purpose of bringing up the record and correcting an alleged error committed in the trial in the court below. But it cannot deliver the body from prison. Bro. Abr. Acc. pl. 45. The judges to whom the writ is directed have no power to return the record nisi judicium inde redditum sit. Nor can it be brought except on the final judgment. See Metcalf's Case, 11 Co. Rep. 38, which is eminently instructive on this subject. Vide Writ of Error.

It's been designed to sit between the still smart-looking, excellent but ageing CX-3, and the also excellent, but slightly newer CX-5; so naturally you would expect Mazda to badge its latest crossover CX-4. Right? Wrong! It's actually the CX-30.
Confused? Well there is a rather straightforward explanation. A Mazda CX-4 already exists. Unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show in 2016, the compact crossover is produced and sold exclusively in China. So, somewhat confusingly, the model we, and the rest of Europe gets, is the CX-30.
A topic which would have been interesting to debate with the great Chinese philosopher, Confucius, is; what exactly is the CX-30?
I have to be honest. I'm not exactly sure what it's meant to achieve or who it's aimed at. Yes it's a good-looking thing (should be; it's based on the latest, pinpoint-sharp Mazda3 hatchback), drives excellently, is beautifully equipped inside and has a superb driving position with two of the most comfortable front seats recently found in any new car.
But there is a 'but'. And in my own simplified mind, it's: "But why would you not buy either a new Mazda3, CX-3 or CX-5 instead?"
Mazda CX-30 SkyActiv-G 120 GT Sport
Price: £27,500 (est)
Engine: 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, petrol
Power: 120bhp
Torque: 157lb/ft
Transmission: Six-speed manual
Top speed: 1116mph
0-62mph: 10.9secs
Economy (WLTP): 42.8mpg
CO2 emissions: 126g/km (NEDC)
Perhaps my view is blurred by the fact I, like many others, think both the CX-3 and CX-5 are class-leaders in their own sectors. There's nothing really to match them. Okay, they're bit more expensive than the opposition, but boy are they good.
So; let's look at the CX-30 objectively. Measuring 4395mm long and 1540mm in height, the new crossover is around 7cm shorter and 10cm taller than the Mazda3 hatchback on which it's based. Significantly, Mazda says the CX-30 is shorter because it believes it will make the car easier to manoeuvre in towns where, it believes, the newcomer will essentially live.
Ok, I get that. But why is it taller? To spot more easily in the supermarket car park? Nah; of course it's taller because it allows the driver to sit slightly higher up, as is the appeal of the flood of modern-day crossovers. After all, it's expected to go head-to-head with the likes of the Peugeot 3008, Toyota C-HR, Volkswagen T-Roc and even Volvo XC40. By comparison, the CX-5 meanwhile takes on the Nissan Qashqai and Ford Kuga.
Mazda has a lot of faith in the CX-30. It actually believes it could become its best-selling car in Europe.
As I mentioned earlier, the CX-30 is based on the Mazda3, so that means the same engines. There's a 114bhp 1.8-litre SkyActiv-D diesel and a 120bhp SkyActiv-G 2.0-litre petrol, with either a six-speed manual or six-speed auto gearbox. The new SkyActiv-X compression-ignition petrol engine will also be available when the CX-30 arrives in dealers in November.
And it would be wrong to see the CX-30 simply as a Mazda3 on stilts or steroids. The newcomer's bodywork is totally new and subtly different. There's also a more practical rear third to go with the rugged-looking black cladding that lines the sills and wheelarches. From certain angles, it is a bit of a head turner.
Inside the spacious, and rather luxurious — certainly on the GT Sport spec I tested — cabin, it's pretty much a new Mazda3, which is certainly no bad thing.
The centre console is dominated by the excellent new 8.8-inch infotainment display, and all the materials used are strong and high-quality. There's no denying it's a comfortable place to be. In fact not only does the CX-30 leave its more mainstream rivals well behind, it challenges some of its premium rivals for luxury.
Rear space will be more than fine for the average family. I'm 5ft 8in and I could happily sit behind my driving position. Sure some 6ft+ journos were bemoaning they struggled for legroom if they sat behind themselves. But let's be honest: how often to you actually fill your car with five adults? Even if they are all just 5ft 8in?
More likely it's mum, dad and the one, two or three kids. Interestingly, Mazda says there's as much space between the front seats as there is in the bigger CX-5. Bootspace too is up to the mark, with a capacity of 430 litres, accessed via a wide and tall opening.
Out on the road, the diesel is an attractive proposition if you know you're going to be racking up the miles. Otherwise the 2.0-litre 120bhp SkyActiv-G petrol is a sound, if rather relaxed choice; it takes 11.2secs to reach 62mph from standstill. The new Skyactiv-X will more likely be a better petrol option. And I would definitely recommend the six-speed manual over the auto.
The ride is surefooted, relaxed and quiet at motorway speeds, and equally unobtrusive when dawdling through town, or doing the school run.
As for prices and UK spec? Well we'll need to wait till closer to the car's launch at the end of this year. It's probably fair to speculate the CX-30 will cost more than the Mazda3. That will likely mean an entry-level at around £25,000, rising through the £30k barrier with Skyactiv-X and all-wheel drive.
Final thoughts? Well, remember my uncertainty; maybe I'm missing something here. After all, the Mazda gurus believe the CX-30 will be its top seller in Europe. Sure, it's a smart-looking car and, yes, it does "everything it says on the tin".
Ah, the penny's dropped; perhaps the word I'm looking for is 'uninspiring'. That's it. That's what I've been feeling about the CX-30. But that's only by comparison to the rest of the dynamic Mazda range.
There's no denying the Mazda3 is the better handling, more economical, faster, just as practical, and certainly cheaper option. It's the sensible buy. But in a market ever-more dominated by crossovers … the CX-30 will attract its own loyal following. I just wonder what Confucius would say?

Revival, Revival: MyTwoCensus.com is coming back to life in a new formThursday, November 17th, 2011
I have decided to revive MyTwoCensus.com as an opinion blog. Originally born out of frustration with the 2010 US Census and the lack of media coverage about this important issue, I feel that society is being failed by our most popular and widely-read cultural commentators.
The journalism "crisis" of the Internet era is partly to blame, but I feel that herd mentality among news organizations and their employees who set the media agenda is preventing more substantial dialogues from taking place. One need only look to the Twittersphere: Rather than offering individual commentaries, the simple act of pressing the Re-Tweet button presents one view over and over again…and news organizations who derive income from per-hit advertising continue to live only when their Tweets spread like wildfire.
My targets for criticism will include politicians, media, society, pop culture, and more, in both the US and abroad. Having been based primarily in Europe since 2009, I have the unique ability to look at both America and Europe as from insider and outsider perspectives. Guest contributions and critiques of my writing are welcomed with open arms.
With Christopher Hitchens making his last hurrah, and Thomas Friedman's words falling short when it comes to turning them into public policy, a new generation of thinkers – dare I say "public intellectuals" – must have their voices heard. Any topic is fair game, and I welcome your suggestions as to topics to cover.
