HP IDOL OnDemand is a suite of APIs focused on solving overcoming some of the tough challenges of the data boom. Indeed, data is being generated at levels never before seen, and the flow shows no signs of stopping or even slowing down. This data comes from many different sources, and, to make use of it, organizations must be able to effectively tap into--and make effective use of--unstructured text and images. This will enable them to drive a variety of key applications, ranging from business intelligence to analytics to behavior analysis. This is no easy task: The data in question may not be in the format that you want (or need) it in, and it involves text/image processing algorithms combined with natural language processing.
Powered by the HP Cloud, HP IDOL OnDemand is composed of APIs that address, among many other things, face detection, sentiment analysis, text extraction and text format conversion.
The OnDemand platform is currently open to all developers in Preview mode, and developers get a complete package when it comes to trying out the APIs. This includes:
- Developer Site with excellent documentation
- API Explorer pages, where you can try out the API
- Showcase Applications that demonstrate API usage
- Account Page, where you can manage your keys, current usage and quotas
- Community Forums
HP IDOL onDemand API List
The HP IDOL OnDemand platform exposes more than 20 APIs in the following categories. (We've listed the key APIs in each of the categories.)
Format Conversion
- Text Extraction: Supports more than 500 file formats.
- Expand Container: Enables users to process and extract from PST, ZIP or TAR files. (For example, you can process all the emails in a PST file and then perform sentiment analysis on individual emails using the Sentiment Analysis API.
- OCR Document : Extracts text from an image.
- Store Object : Can be used in a generic way to store the contents of any document and then use the contents as a reference in other APIs.
- View Document : Renders a document in HTML form and highlights text.
Image Analysis
- Barcode Recognition : Detects 1D and 2D barcodes in images.
- Face Detection : Detects faces in images.
- Image Recognition : Identifies images (and supports well-known corporate logos).
- OCR Document : Extracts text from an image.
This set of APIs can be used to manage an index (collection of documents). The APIs include Create Text Index and Delete Text Index. The APIs can also be used to manage documents (Add to Text Index and Delete from Text Index) from within an index.
This API set enables users to store objects in an index, which can then be referenced in other APIs. For example, you could have a background process that uploads several photos to this index. Another process would then pick up these references and pass them on to, say, the Face Detection API. Additional APIs in this category include List Indexes and Index Status.
- Find Related Concepts : Returns a list of the best terms and phrases in query result documents; the documents are returned and matched against specific data sets.
- Find Similar : Returns documents that are conceptually similar to other texts or documents.
- Get Content : Can be used to get content from documents present in public data sets or your own indexes.
- Get Parametric Values : Allows users to perform faceted search—for example, filtering out search results based on specific parameter values.
- Query Text Index : Allows users to search for content in various public data sets that OnDemand has indexed (for example, in Wikipedia).
Text Analysis
The set of APIs in this category addresses functions such as Text Tokenization, Sentiment Analysis, Language Identification, Entity Extraction and Highlighting Text.
Public Data Sets
Key to many of the APIs that IDOL OnDemand provides is the availability of Public Data Sets. These include Wikipedia across multiple languages and various news sites (starting from May 2, 2014, according to the documentation). The news sites aggregated include The New York Times, The Guardian, BBC and Reuters.
Signing up
A single developer key provides access to all the HP IDOL OnDemand APIs. The APIs are currently in preview mode. (No information is currently available on pricing and final release of the APIs.) To sign up for a developer key, go to https://www.idolondemand.com/signup.html. Within minutes, you should have completed the sign-up process and logged into the developer portal at https://www.idolondemand.com/login.html. Once logged in, click on Manage your API Keys and get your API key, which will be used to identify you when making calls to the various APIs.
Currently, the service provides two API keys per developer, with the ability to disable/revoke and track API usage per key.
API Explorer
With any API platform, it is important for developers to be able to try before they "buy" to determine the quality of the API and whether it's a fit for the task at hand. One measure of quality is documentation. Developers can not only try out HP IDOL OnDemand APIs, but they can also fill out the request parameters and view responses right in the browser. Further, the HP IDOL OnDemand documentation is solid and explains each parameter clearly.
The Try option is available for each API page. We tested it out using the OCR Document API on a recent ProgrammableWeb article titled "How to Use DailyMotion API to leverage Video Search."
Let's say you received a screen shot of the article, as shown below:
We saved the screenshot locally with the name pw-dailymotionapi.png. We then pointed to that file as an input source for the OCR API to extract text from. After clicking on the Try It button, we get the response shown below:
The JSON response gives back the text along with the position of the text block in the document (left, top, width and height).
You can try out all of the APIs in this manner--in most cases, you need either files uploaded from your local machine or a URL or reference object (in case you have saved the file into the one of your own HP IDOL OnDemad indexes).
IDOL OnDemand APIs - Java and Python code
The HP IDOL OnDemand APIs are REST-based and use JSON as the data format.
Each of the APIs is governed by quotas, rate limits, maximum data size and data expiry Access is governed by the API key you get when you sign up for a developer account. This API key parameter (apikey) will need to be passed with each API request.
The format of the API is as follows:
- <platform-version> : OnDemand Platform version
- <synchronous-or-asynchronous> : Some of the APIs support an asynchronous mode; this value will be either sync or async
- <api-identifier> : API name--for example, sentimentanalysis, querytextindex
- <api-version> : API version
With all of this said, the API URL for the OCR Document API is:
(Note that when you try out the API, you get the Curl command for the API at the bottom. This is very useful when creating the entire URL in your code.)
Next we will look at Java and Python samples to invoke the API code. We will be invoking the Sentiment Analysis API to determine the sentiment of the text we will provide. Organizations can use this API to track their brands and monitor user feedback. You can integrate this code into a much larger application where, for example, you run a daily job to access the Twitter API, retrieve tweets related to your company, industry, etc., and then perform a sentiment analysis on all the tweets. You can do the same with emails, blog post comments and more.
Python Code
Here is a sample Python snippet used to take an array of tweets and invoke the Sentiment Analysis API on them:
import urllib2 If we execute this code, we get the following response:
import json
apikey = '<Your_API_Key>'
url = "https://api.idolondemand.com/1/api/sync/analyzesentiment/v1"
tweets = ['ProgrammableWeb is a great resource for API News',
'The developer experience with XYZ API is not good',
'Check out ProgrammableWeb for API News']
for tweet in tweets:
api_url = url + "?apikey=" + apikey+ "&text=" + urllib2.quote(tweet)
response = urllib2.urlopen(api_url).read()
decoded_data = json.loads(response);
aggregate = decoded_data['aggregate']
print 'Tweet : ' + tweet
print ">> Sentiment : " + aggregate['sentiment']
print ">> Score : " + str(aggregate['score'])
Tweet :ProgrammableWeb is a great resource for API News The Sentiment Analysis API provides a score and an overall sentiment for each Tweet.
>> Sentiment : positive
>> Score : 0.87486231395
Tweet : The developer experience with XYZ API is not good
>> Sentiment : negative
>> Score : -0.670031048282
Tweet : Check out ProgrammableWeb for API News
>> Sentiment : neutral
>> Score : 0
Java Code
The equivalent code in Java is shown below. (Note that you will need to ensure that the JSON libraries and Apache HTTP Client libraries are added to your compile and run-time environment):
String apikey = "<Your_API_Key";
String base_url = "https://api.idolondemand.com/1/api/sync/analyzesentiment/v1";
String tweets[] = {"ProgrammableWeb is a great resource for API News",
"The developer experience with XYZ API is not good",
"Check out ProgrammableWeb for API News"};
try {
for (inti = 0; i<tweets.length; i++) {
String url = base_url + "?apikey="+apikey+"&text=" +
URLEncoder.encode(tweets[i], "UTF-8");
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
// Get the response
BufferedReaderrd = new BufferedReader(new
StringBufferresponseJSON = new StringBuffer();
String line = "";
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
//Parse the JSON Response
String strResponse = responseJSON.toString();
JSONObjectjsonResponse = new JSONObject(strResponse);
String sentiment =
double score = jsonResponse.getJSONObject("aggregate").getDouble("score");
System.out.println(">> Sentiment : " + sentiment);
System.out.println(">> Score : " + score);
catch(Exception e){
finally { //Resource clean up}
Quotas and API Usage
The OnDemand API Developer site provides users with current information on API usage and quotas. Because the APIs are in preview stage, it is not clear what the quota limits will be when they are released. However, it is good to see a place where you can check out your usage.
The monthly quotas available per developer account are shown below:
A sample screen from my current usage is shown below:
Often while using cloud APIs, developers like to see the last few requests and their parameters. This is possible with HP IDOL OnDemand under the Request Log feature, which provides developers with the request log for their last 100 calls. There is also a Service Status page that gives the current status of all the services, along with any issues from the past few days.
HP IDOL OnDemand's administration console is preliminary compared with other PaaS providers', but it may be just the bones of what we will see when the platform comes out of preview mode and into a paid tier.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Grocery Store Chain Asked Applicants Illegal Disability-Related Questions and Fired Employee Because of His Epilepsy, Federal Agency Charged
NEW YORK - The Food Farmacy, Ltd. and J&T Enterprises, LLC, doing business as Foodworks, a chain of grocery stores in Connecticut, will pay $25,000 and furnish other relief to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Foodworks asked disability-related questions of a class of applicants before offering them jobs. The questions included "Do you have any health problems?" on applications and asking applicants in interviews whether they had any health/ physical problems; whether they were on any medications; and if so, which medications.
The EEOC also alleged that when an employee with epilepsy had a seizure at work, Foodworks fired the employee a few days after the seizure, despite the employee having performed his job successfully and presenting medical documentation indicating he was capable of returning to his normal work day. According to the suit, Foodworks also failed to post the required notices describing provisions of federal law prohibiting disability discrimination in its Monroe, Conn., store.
Such alleged conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The EEOC first attempted to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process before filing suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut (EEOC v. The Food Farmacy, Ltd. d/b/a Foodworks, and J&T Enterprises, LLC d/b/a Foodworks, Civil Action No. 13-CV-01438).
In addition to the $25,000 in monetary relief to the individual who was fired, the four-year consent decree resolving the lawsuit prohibits Foodworks from asking pre-offer disability-related questions of applicants in the future and prohibits the company from firing an employee because of that employee's disability or perceived disability. The decree also requires Foodworks to post posters concerning federal anti-discrimination laws in all of its stores; provide anti-discrimination training to all of its employees; adopt a new anti-discrimination policy that will be distributed to all employees; and provide periodic reports to the EEOC regarding any internal complaints of disability discrimination.
"This settlement should remind employers that the ADA prohibits employers from asking applicants disability-related inquiries before offering them jobs," said EEOC New York District Director Kevin Berry. "When employers take measures to ensure that such inquiries are not made of applicants before making job offers, and that the job selection process is based on non-discriminatory factors, we all win."
Konrad Batog, the trial attorney assigned to the case, added, "We are pleased that Foodworks worked with us to resolve this lawsuit. We are confident that the individual relief for the former employee and the injunctive relief obtained will help ensure that employees and applicants will be fairly assessed on their ability to do a job, and not wrongfully excluded due to myths or misconceptions about medical conditions."
Eliminating barriers in recruitment and hiring, especially class-based recruitment and hiring practices that discriminate against racial, ethnic and religious groups, older workers, women, and people with disabilities, is one of six national priorities identified by the Commission's Strategic Enforcement Plan (SEP).
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Gerard made a visit to Haiti with Ben Stiller, Paul Haggis, Demi Moore, Susan Sarandon, Olivia Wilde and Sean Penn with the non-profit, Artists for Peace and Justice. View more pictures… | Read about the visit…
In an article he wrote for USA Today, Gerard says about his recent charity efforts with Kids Kicking Cancer:
Every contribution makes a difference. Along with my support of Haiti, I've had a long-standing involvement with the charity Kids Kicking Cancer. Started by Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg — a martial arts black belt who lost his first child to leukemia — KKC teaches kids with cancer or cancer-related illnesses the healing, mind-body themes of martial arts training. They learn methods of relaxation, meditation, pain management, deep breathing and karate — all of which provide them with a sense of purpose, teamwork and unity. The children I meet as part of my work with KKC are such an inspiration to me. I get so much more back from these kids than I give. The power, the strength and the sheer joy in these kids — many fighting for their lives and in chronic pain — is incredible.

I cook for my husband and I in the slow cooker all the time. Not a waste at all! What are you wasting? I don't understand your comment.
Mar 13, 2012
Too bland and salty. Will not make it again
Mar 11, 2012
I have made MANY times since I first found this recipe!!! We LOVE it!!! I have done it double and 4X-I don't think I have EVER made something for just two !!! LOL What I do is use a small ham steak {1 to double and 2 to 4X} I cube it and then pan fry {with a T of butter} to crisp it up a bit. Then I dice and cook onions in the pan to get up all the browned up goodness from the pan- this adds a nice smokey flavor. The little bit of butter helps to thicken the "sauce" with the flour as it cooks. We eat it like a chowder and it is even better the next day!!!
Feb 12, 2012
Hi Alice, According to my Taste of Home Cassaroles & Slow Cooker cookbook converter, which is pretty darned accurate, I would bake this dish at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
Feb 12, 2012
Ummm, yummy! I used a whole 16 pkg of ham cubes, 1# pkg of Velveeta and the whole can of soup to eliminate waste and this dish was delicious. The big surprise came when my husband, heating up the leftovers, added a carton of sour cream and 1 C. of peas. That made this dish absolutely mouth-watering! We will definately make this again - next time using sour cream in place of the milk and adding the peas for nutrition and color.
Feb 12, 2012
I used 1 more big potato, the whole can of soup, increased the milk to 1 c. as well as the ham, used 1 heaping TBSP of dried minced onion and added a little more fliour. I couldn't see wasting 1/3 c of soup! It was delicious. I cooked it oh high for 4 hrs in my crockpot. Had enough leftover for my husband's lunch two days later.
Feb 6, 2012
Slow cooker for two seems a waste although it is great if you are going to be away for several hours and need it ready when you get home. However, next time I will just boil the potato ahead of time. Stir all the rest together, cook until the cheese melts, then add the potatoes until they are reheated and serve.

Hello, do you see the bowl and the spoon and you wonder why it is soupy? Is it any wonder why women complain about men not reading directions, the women can't change the directions to suit themselves. What is wrong with: "if you don't like it, don't fix it again" I can tell it is good by what is in the recipe. How many don't know that commercial soup is loaded with salt?
Jan 31, 2012
I made this this morning and it was very good! Didn't taste too salty at all. It was soupy, but I think that's the way it's supposed to be. It's an entree, not a side dish. I used cream of chicken but everything else was as listed in the recipe. Loved it and will definitely make again!
Jan 30, 2012
It was way too soupy Did not care for it

I'm trying to find a suitable SMD micro USB connector for my projects but I can never find the matching Eagle library.
I really like the Adafruit USB connector as it uses through-hole pins for strength, as used on i.e. The Circuit Playground etc. and I can use it's Eagle file, but where can I buy that particular USB connector?
I've looked on Mouser, Digi-key and Ali-Express and there are so many to choose from but non of them offer any Eagle libraries.
I'm also looking for were to buy the SMD switch as used on The Circuit Playground (the bigger ones, not the small reset button).
Any help would be appreciated.

Super Bowl ads: do previews spoil the fun?
The excitement of commercials unveiled during the Super Bowl is becoming a distant memory. Increasingly, ads or teasers are released days in advance of the big game in hopes of extending the reach across mobile, PC and social media platforms. The buzz is already in the air by the time the ads hit the air.
Does the sneak preview strategy make sense for advertisers? Do viewers still hope to see something unexpected during TV's biggest communal event of the year?
Darrin Duber-Smith, marketing professor at Denver's Metropolitan State U., says "previewing ads allows for very measurable market testing so that marketers are better able to gauge which creative strategies and which actual ads are working." The fact that everyone is compulsively checking their mobile devices, he says, makes it important to "incorporate a direct response mechanism into the ad (Twitter hashtags, Shazaam, scannable codes, and old fashioned "go to this website" calls to action." The ads are no longer "stand-alone" activities, he notes, but part of a larger constellation.
Speaking as executive creative director for gyro ad agency, Aaron Stern said, "It's a double edged sword. As a client, if I'm shelling out $3.8 million in one fell swoop, I want as much bang for the buck. Releasing the ad ahead of time is one way to do that. The flip side is that as a viewer, if I've already seen it, I'm less likely to pay attention. In the old days, people used to hush each other during the super bowl commercials. In today's digital, view-on-demand era, there's no reason for me to watch live because I know I can just Google it after the game."

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Tennessee State University volleyball team fought hard at Arkansas on Friday but dropped the season-opener 0-3.
The Tigers (0-1) battled against the Razorbacks (1-0) in a hostile environment at Barnhill Arena. Senior Naomi Wells led the team with a double-double in kills (10) and digs (10). Arkansas seemed surprised in the first set by the Tigers heart.
"We fought a good fight," head coach Kathy Roulhac said. "I felt like we beat ourselves with the unforced errors. I saw a lot of heart from our team, though, and that's encouraging going forward."
TSU took the first set straight to the wire. Senior Ileanushka Maldonado came up with a few key digs to keep points alive. She finished with 11 on the night, seven of those in the first set. Freshman Carla Grayson showed her potential as the middle blocker, racking up three blocks on the set. Fellow freshman Samantha Beltran added to the first set magic with five assists and four digs.
The Tigers went into the intermission with heart as Beltran (7) and sophomore Taylor Patterson (8) combined for 15 assists in the half. Patterson also added points through her serving with a pair of aces. Junior Haley Hampton had four kills to add on to the effort.
Hampton's four kills turned into seven as she attempted to lead the Tigers to a set victory in the third, but Arkansas completed the match victory. Beltran finished off her collegiate debut with 14 total assists to lead TSU while sophomore Arijana Anderson joined in the scoring with five kills of her own. Maldonado (11) paired with Wells as the two Tigers with double-digit digs. Patterson and junior Madison Halterman helped out on defense with five and six digs, respectively.
The Tigers will look to get into the win column tomorrow with two chances. Michigan beckons at 1:00 p.m. and Stephen F. Austin waits in the wings at 4:30 p.m. Both games will have free audio broadcasts that will be made available through TSUTigers.com.

After remaining completely silent in the week following the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, the National Rifle Association (NRA) held a press conference in Washington D.C. on Friday to call for more guns in schools and blame the media for glorifying violence, while demonizing gun owners.
Below are the 10 craziest statements from NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre's prepared remarks:
1) Gun-free schools zones "tell every insane killer in America that schools are their safest place to inflict maximum mayhem with minimum risk."
2) "There exists in this country a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells, and sows, violence against its own people.
3) "[V]iolent crime is increasing again for the first time in 19 years! Add another hurricane, terrorist attack or some other natural or man-made disaster, and you've got a recipe for a national nightmare of violence and victimization."
4) "We need to have every single school in America immediately deploy a protection program proven to work — and by that I mean armed security."
5) "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Would you rather have your 911 call bring a good guy with a gun from a mile away … or a minute away?"
6) "And throughout it all, too many in our national media … their corporate owners … and their stockholders … act as silent enablers, if not complicit co-conspirators."
7) "Then there's the blood-soaked slasher films like 'American Psycho' and 'Natural Born Killers' that are aired like propaganda loops on Splatterdays and every day, and a thousand music videos that portray life as a joke and murder as a way of life."
8) "In a race to the bottom, media conglomerates compete with one another to shock, violate and offend every standard of civilized society by bringing an ever-more-toxic mix of reckless behavior and criminal cruelty into our homes — every minute of every day of every month of every year."
9) "Through vicious, violent video games with names like Bulletstorm, Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat and Splatterhouse. And here's one: it's called Kindergarten Killers. It's been online for 10 years. How come my research department could find it and all of yours either couldn't or didn't want anyone to know you had found it?"
10) "Isn't fantasizing about killing people as a way to get your kicks really the filthiest form of pornography?"
(Greg Noth assisted in compiling the quotes for this post.)

For GNOME 3, the GNOME Project has started from scratch and created a completely new, modern desktop designed for today's users and technologies. In GNOME 3:
- There is a new default modern visual theme and font
- The Activities view which provides an easy way to access all your windows and applications
- Built-in (integrated) messaging desktop services
- A more subtle notifications system and a more discrete panel
- A fast Activities search feature
- A new System Settings application
- ... and more features like: window tiling (Aero Snap like), an improved Nautilus etc.

GNOME3 comes with two interfaces, gnome-shell (the new, standard layout) and fallback mode. gnome-session will automatically detect if your computer is capable of running gnome-shell and will start fallback mode if not.
Fallback mode is very similar to the GNOME 2.x layout (while using gnome-panel and metacity, instead of gnome-shell and Mutter).
If you are on fallback mode you can still change the window manager with your preferred one.
Upgrade from GNOME 2.32
# pacman -Syu
Important: You will end up with a system that has GNOME 3.x fallback mode. To install the new shell:
# pacman -S gnome-shell
Installing to a new system
GNOME 3 is in [extra]. You can install it by running the following command:
# pacman -Syu # pacman -S gnome
For additional applications
# pacman -S gnome-extra
Daemons and modules needed by GNOME
The GNOME desktop requires one daemon, DBUS for proper operation.
GVFS allows the mounting of virtual file systems (e.g. file systems over FTP or SMB) to be used by other applications, including the GNOME file manager Nautilus. This is done with the use of FUSE: a user space virtual file system layer kernel module.
To load the FUSE kernel module:
# modprobe fuse
Or add the module to the MODULES array in Template:Filename so they will load at boot up, e.g.:
Running GNOME
For better desktop integration GDM is recommended (but other login managers, such as SLiM also work, see Policykit section).
# pacman -S gdm
Check out Display_Manager to learn how to start it correctly.
If you prefer to start it from the console, add the following line to your Template:Filename file, making sure it's the last line and the only one that starts with exec (see xinitrc):
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
Now GNOME will start when you enter the following command:
$ startx
Using the shell
See https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet
Using Gnome-tweak-tool
# pacman -S gnome-tweak-tool
This tool can customize fonts, themes, minimize & maximize buttons and some other useful settings like what action is taken when the lid is closed.
A good customization tutorial is http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2011/03/customizing-the-gnome-3-shell.html which explores the power of gsettings.
Version 3.0.3 only works if gnome-shell is installed (OK if forced to fallback mode), bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647132
GDM Customization
# su - gdm -s /bin/bash $ dbus-launch
This command will print DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID. We need to export them
$ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-Jb433gMQHS,guid=fc14d4bf3d000e38276a5a2200000d38 $ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=4283
Check to see if dconf-service is running and if not, start it like this
$ /usr/lib/dconf/dconf-service &
$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri $ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file:///usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/SundownDunes.jpg"
You will need to point to a file where the gdm user has permission to read, not in your home directory.
Turning off the sound
$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds false
Change GDM's keyboard layout
Since GDM 3 does not care about your gnome keyboard settings, you have to set your layout to Xorg config. See here: Beginners'_Guide#Non-US_keyboard
Changing the GTK3 theme using settings.ini
Similar to Template:Filename for GTK2+ it is possible to set the GTK3 (Gnome 3) theme via Template:Filename. By default Template:Filename is interpreted as Template:Filename.
Adwaita, the default gnome3 theme is available in gnome-themes-standard package. A few third-party themes for gtk3 exist now. Check them out at http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/linuxutil/desktopenv/gnome/gtk3/
[Settings] gtk-theme-name = Adwaita gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome # next option is applicable only if selected theme supports it gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true # set font name and dimension gtk-font-name = Sans 10
It may be necessary to restart one's DE or WM for the settings to be applied.
Hide Titlebar when Maximized
# sed -i "s|<frame_geometry name=\"max\" |<frame_geometry name=\"max\" has_title=\"false\" |" /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml
Hit Template:Keypress + Template:Keypress and type restart (or just r) followed by Template:Keypress to reload.
To prevent this file from being overwritten each time the package "gnome-themes-standard" is upgraded, add it to Template:Filename with the NoUpgrade option:
To restore the original values:
# pacman -S gnome-themes-standard
Resizing the Massive Titlebar
# sed -i "/title_vertical_pad/s/value=\"[0-9]\{1,2\}\"/value=\"0\"/g" /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml
Hit Template:Keypress + Template:Keypress and type restart followed by Template:Keypress
This will change the title_vertical_pad from 14 to 0 giving a much sleeker look to windows.
To restore the original values:
sudo pacman -S gnome-themes-standard
Setting an icon theme
Usefully, Gnome 3 is able to use Gnome 2 icon themes, which means you're not stuck with the default set. To do this, simply copy your desired icon theme's directory to ~/.icons. For example:
$ cp -R /home/user/Desktop/my_new_icon_theme ~/.icons
The new icon theme 'my_new_icon_theme' will now be selectable using the gnome-tweak-tool (under 'Interface'), otherwise it can be set with no need of gnome-tweak-tool by adding the gtk-icon-theme-name entry inside ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Template:File
Start program automatically after login to GNOME 3
You can specify which programs to start automatically after login using the gnome-session-properties tool, which is a part of the gnome-session package.
$ gnome-session-properties
The displayed folders are specified in Template:Filename and can be altered with any editor. An execution of Template:Codeline will change them again, thus it may be advisable to set the file permissions to read-only.
Setting the default terminal via console
Template:Codeline, which replaces Template:Codeline in Gnome 3, is used to set e. g. the default terminal manually. The setting is relevant for nautilus-open-terminal. The commands for urxvt run as daemon:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec urxvtc gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg "'-e'"
Setting Nautilus to Use Location Bar Entry
If you want to enter path locations manually in Nautilus you can press Ctrl+L. To make this persistent you can use gsettings.
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true
Disable accessibility icon in panel
First deactivate it as startup-service: GNOME_3#Start_program_automatically_after_login_to_GNOME_3
After that create a folder named firstname.lastname@example.com in $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions. In this folder create two files. The first one is named extension.js and has this content:
const Panel = imports.ui.panel; function main() { Panel.STANDARD_TRAY_ICON_SHELL_IMPLEMENTATION['a11y'] = ''; }
The second one is named metadata.json and has this content:
{ "shell-version": ["3.0"], "uuid": "email@example.com", "name": "na11y", "description": "Turn off the ally icon in the panel" }
Now restart the gnome-shell (press ALT+F2, type r and press Enter) and the icon is away. If this extensions stops working adjust the shell-version number in the metadata-file according to your version.
If the above method doesn't work, you can try disabling the accessibility icon system wide. Edit the file /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js, find this line:
'a11y': imports.ui.status.accessibility.ATIndicator,
and comment it out e.g.:
/* 'a11y': imports.ui.status.accessibility.ATIndicator, */
Afterwards restart the shell.
Disable bluetooth icon in panel
First deactivate it as startup-service: GNOME_3#Start_program_automatically_after_login_to_GNOME_3
After that create a folder named firstname.lastname@example.com in $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions. In this folder create two files. The first one is named extension.js and has this content:
const Panel = imports.ui.panel; function main() { Panel.STANDARD_TRAY_ICON_SHELL_IMPLEMENTATION['bluetooth'] = ''; }
The second one is named metadata.json and has this content:
{ "shell-version": ["3.0"], "uuid": "firstname.lastname@example.com", "name": "nbluetooth", "description": "Turn off the bluetooth icon in the panel" }
Now restart the gnome-shell (press ALT+F2, type r and press Enter) and the icon is away. If this extensions stops working adjust the shell-version number in the metadata-file according to your version.
A quick way to do it for all the users is to change the line 153 of "/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/statusMenu.js" from :
this._haveSuspend = this._upClient.get_can_suspend();
this._haveSuspend = false;
Middle Mouse Button Emulation
By default, GNOME 3 disables middle mouse button emulation regardless of Xorg settings (Emulate3Buttons). To enable middle mouse button emulation use:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse middle-button-enabled true
Battery icon
To have battery tray icon, install gnome-power-manager package:
# pacman -S gnome-power-manager
Upgrading to Gnome 3 will (most-likely) break your xmonad setup. You can use xmonad again by forcing fallback mode (see below) and creating the following two files:
The next time you log in, you'll have the ability to choose Xmonad GNOME as your session.
Enabling fallback mode
Your session will automatically start in fallback mode if gnome-shell is not present or if your desktop cannot handle graphics acceleration (such as running in a Virtual Machine or on old hardware). If you want to enable it while having gnome-shell installed, open gnome-control-center. Open System Info > Graphics. Change Forced Fallback Mode to ON.
You can also use gsettings to set the session manually from a terminal using the next command:
$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name gnome-fallback
Gnome 3.0 hides a lot of useful options which you can customize with dconf-editor or gconf-editor for settings not yet migrated to dconf.
Changing Hotkeys
In dconf-editor, enable org.gnome.desktop.interface "can-change-accels".
An example of changing the delete hotkey: Open nautilus, select any file/directory, then click "Edit" from the menubar, and hover over the "Move to Trash" menuitem. While hovering, push delete, and default accel will be unset. Now push the key that you want to set as accel. i.e. Pushing again delete, will make the accel change to "del".
Make sure you have selected a file, else the "Move to Trash" menuitem will be greyed out. You should disable "can-change-accels" afterwards, to prevent accidental accel changes.
For now, the Shutdown option seems to be hidden if the user presses the Status menu on the upper right. If you want to shutdown your system through the Status menu, click on it and then press the Alt button. The "Suspend" option will instantly turn into "Power off...", as long as you are pressing the Alt button, which will allow you to properly shutdown your system.
You can also install the "Alternative Status Menu" extension (see the section on Enabling Extensions, below). This will put a permanent "Power Off" option in the Status menu below the usual suspend option.
Enabling integrated messaging
Empathy, the engine behind the integrated messaging, and all of the system settings based on your messaging accounts will not show up unless the telepathy group of packages or at least one of the backends (telepathy-gabble, or telepathy-haze, for example) is installed. These are not included in the default Arch GNOME installs and the Empathy interface doesn't give a nice error message, it just fails to work silently. You can install them:
# pacman -S telepathy
You may view a description of the various telepathy components on the Telepathy Wiki.
Enabling extensions
Gnome Shell can be customised to an extent with extensions that have been written by others. These provide functionality like having a dock that is always present, and being able to change the shell theme. More details on the functionality of currently available extensions is given here You can use the gnome-shell-extensions-git package in the AUR to install them or install them individually using the [extra extensions' snapshots] . Restart Gnome to enable them.
If installing the extensions causes Gnome to stop working then you must remove the user-theme extension and and the auto-move-windows extension from their installation directory (could be in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions or /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions or /usr/local/share/gnome-shell/extensions). Removing or adding extensions to these directories will remove or install them form the system. More details on Gnome Shell extensions are available here.
Bluetooth Applet does not work properly
If you have problems getting the Bluetooth Applet to work, just add your user to group uucp (gpasswd -a $USER uucp) and be sure that bluetooth daemon is started. (rc.d start bluetooth). Don't forget to relogin after adding your user to uucp group.
If it still does not work, create /etc/udev/rules.d/10-gnome-bluetooth.rules with the following content:
# Get access to /dev/rfkill for group 'uucp' # See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514798 KERNEL=="rfkill", ENV{ACL_MANAGE}="1", GROUP="uucp"
Make sure it has the right permissions and owner (chmod 700 and chown root:root). You should know that this might be a security problem, for more information look at this bugreport and this comment.
Gnome does take very long (~ 1 minute) to login
Check if you enabled PulseAudio Network settings in paprefs - If there are any network audio settings enabled, Gnome will hang about a minute after login. Another solution is to try a new useraccount or to move $HOME/.gconf $HOME/.gconfd $HOME/.conf/dconf to a backup folder. Try again to login to see if the delay is gone. If it is gone, you have to look what setting causes that delay.
My extensions don't work anymore after a Gnome 3 update
Go to $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions or /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions (depends on where you have installed your extensions) and open metadata.json in every subfolder. Insert
"shell-version": ["3.0"]
instead of (for example)
"shell-version": ["3.0.1"]
you also could insert
"shell-version": ["3.0.0", "3.0.1", "3.0.2"]
but in my opinion "shell-version": ["3.0"] is the best solution, because this means that a extension works for every 3.0.x gnome-shell version, without changing it every time.
My screen isn't locked after resume from suspend/hibernate
Screen lock does only work when you suspend through gnome status menu. If you suspend or hibernate with powerbutton/etc. you screen is not locked after resume. This problem occours because of an config failure in dconf, so just open dconf-editor and change lock-use screensaver to false (unchecked) in org/gnome/power-manager. Your screen will now be locked after resume, regardless whether you used gnome status menu or power button or key combination. For more information see bugreport: Screen gets no more locked after suspend#Comment 8
My GTK2+ apps show segfaults and won't start
That usually happens when oxygen-gtk is installed. That theme conflicts somehow with GNOME 3's or/and GTK3 settings and when it has been set as a GTK2 theme, the GTK2 apps segfault with errors like:
(firefox-bin:14345): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (firefox-bin:14345): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed (firefox-bin:14345): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_default_colormap: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (firefox-bin:14345): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_colormap_get_visual: assertion `GDK_IS_COLORMAP (colormap)' failed (firefox-bin:14345): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_default_colormap: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (firefox-bin:14345): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_root_window: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (firefox-bin:14345): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_root_window: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (firefox-bin:14345): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_window_new: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (parent)' failed Segmentation fault
The current "workaround" is to remove oxygen-gtk from the system completely and set another theme for your apps.
I use the ATI Catalyst driver and I encounter glitches and artifacts while using GNOME Shell
For the moment, Catalyst is not proposed to be used while running GNOME Shell. The opensource ATI driver, xf86-video-ati, however, seems to be working properly with the GNOME 3 composited desktop.
I have multiple monitors and the Dock extension appears stuck between them
If you have multiple monitors configured using Nvidia Twinview, the dock extension may get sandwiched in-between the monitors. You can edit the source of this extension to reposition the dock to a position of your choosing.
Edit /email@example.com/extension.js and locate this line in the source:
this.actor.set_position(primary.width-this._item_size-this._spacing-2, (primary.height-height)/2);
The first parameter is the X position of the dock display, by subtracting 15 pixels as opposed to 2 pixels from this it correctly positioned on my primary monitor, you can play around with any X,Y coordinate pair to position it correctly.
this.actor.set_position(primary.width-this._item_size-this._spacing-15, (primary.height-height)/2);
There are no event sounds for Empathy and other programs
If you're using OSS, you may want to install libcanberra-oss from AUR.
Editing hotkeys via can-change-accels fails
It is also possible to manually change the keys via an application's so-called accel map file. Where it is to be found is up to the application: For instance, Thunar's is at Template:Filename, whereas Nautilus's is located at Template:Filename. The file should contain a list of possible hotkeys, each unchanged line commented out with a leading ";" that has to be removed for a change to become active.
[fallback mode] Panels and applets don't respond to right click to remove, etc, as in GNOME 2
Check Configuration Editor: /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier. This modifier key (<Alt>, <Super>, etc) used for normal windows is also used by panels and their applets.
Show Desktop: ALT+STRG+D does not work
The GNOME developers treated the corresponding binding as bug (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643609) due to Minimization being deprecated. To show the desktop again assign ALT+STRG+D to the following setting:
System Settings --> Keyboard --> Shortcuts --> Windows --> Hide all normal windows
Starting Nautilus does not work
Start gnome-tweak-tool -> File Manager -> Have file manager handle the desktop -> Off
Epiphany does not play flash videos
Epiphany now uses gtk3, but Adobe's Flash Player still relies on gtk2. See Epiphany#Flash for a workaround involving nspluginwrapper.
Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors
If you encounter this message try to disable the xrandr gnome-settings-daemon plugin :
dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xrandr/active false

Different directions?
Here's Nina Dobrev after hitting up the spa in Beverly Hills yesterday. Apparently a lot of sh-t is about to go down on Vampire Diaries tonight. Nina talks about the drama with MTV – click here to see. On Saturday Nina was in DC for the White House Correspondents' Dinner with her boyfriend and costar Ian Somerhalder. And soon she will begin work on The Perks of Being a Wallflower having confirmed one of the highly coveted lead roles opposite Emma Watson. It's a huge professional coup. And that's the dream for them, right? A regular tv role and then an exciting movie project during hiatus. Well done.
While Nina thrives on the small and big screen, her former Degrassi castmate Shenae Grimes, has been spending time with Lindsay LOHAN. Click here for the photos. That's not exactly the equivalent of the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Or a movie with Emma Watson. In fact, hanging out with that loser, and Lohan is indisputably a loser, hasn't benefitted anyone. And it's not like Shenae's a dumb girl. Not at all. This, however, this is a very, very dumb move.
Attached – Shenae at the Nylon Young Hollywood party last night.

So says Newsday's Neil Best via twitter. Syracuse.com also chimes in:
Minutes before the start of today's NCAA Tournament game between Syracuse and Kansas State here at the Consol Energy Center, Kansas State officials announced the Wildcats starting forward Jamar Samuels would not be eligible to play.
In a statement, the university cited "an eligibility concern.''
Kansas State, ironically, is playing Syracuse this afternoon who is dealing with an eligibility concern of its own.
More on this as we hear.
Update (12:40 p.m.): Kellis Robinett, a Kansas State reporter, collects a few more details. Notably, K-State is currently attempting to resolve the issue with the implied (however unlikely) hope being that Samuels could still play today.
"Jamar Samuels is currently unavailable for today's game, because of an eligibility concern," said K-State athletic director John Currie. "We are working diligently to try and resolve it even right now. Jamar Samuels has worked extremely hard academically and athletically throughout his career. We are certainly going to do everything we can to advocate for him."

There's a man at Occupy DC (yeah, we've still got one of those) who yells "Good Morning" every morning as I ride by and I'm beginning to think it's not a coincidence, although there is really no reason to change my opinion. Perhaps he yells good morning every half minute.
When drivers "block the box" every morning at one particular intersection (15th and Massachusetts), is this the sign of a behavioral fail or an engineering fail? My inclination is the latter. I know that traffic engineering is complicated (much more complicated than bike blogging), but one would think that this daily occurrence, whereby pedestrians are asked to pick their way through backed-up vehicles that are blocking the crosswalk, ought to be remedied. Unless, of course, and this is likely, the inconvenience of pedestrians is entirely secondary to the smooth flow of traffic (and by that I mean real traffic, cars) and doesn't enter into the equation at all.
Father and son biking together along R street. I've seen them before, but this is the first day I've spent any real amount of time riding behind them. I can tell that the dad is a good dad because both his bike and his kid's bike have fenders, which is sensible. The child was also helmeted. I passed them somewhere before Dupont Circle.
I've never ridden a bike with disc brakes, but I bet those make for a better braking experience in weather like this. My brakes are making an awful noise and their stopping power is significantly reduced in the wet weather. So, I continue to pine for the Surly Disc Trucker, but I'd be willing to pine for another kind of bicycle if you have any suggestions.
Followed a superbiker up Massachusetts from Wisconsin to Ward Circle. I could tell he was a superbiker because he was riding a thin-tired road bike and was wearing a lycra kit with the words "RACING UNION" on the back. (Not this racing union.) He seemed to be having a tough go of the hill, probably because he was on mile 50 of his commute or maybe just because it's really crappy to ride up wet, leaf-covered pavement on a super-thin-tired road bike. I stuck behind him, that he could benefit from the visibility of my bright yellow jacket and blinking blinky light. I wonder if he noticed or cared. In any case, I thought I was doing a good deed and since all rainy bicycle commutes are powered by self-satisfaction, I felt especially refreshed when I arrived at the office.

Wis. on pace to set export record for year
State exports grew faster than total U.S. exports
MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation said Wisconsin is on pace to set a record for state exports this year.
Through the first three quarters of 2012, Wisconsin businesses exported $17.4 billion worth of products.
Lora Klenke, vice president of International Development with WEDC, said if exports continue to grow at this pace during the final quarter, they would total $23.5 billion. That would break last year's record of $22 billion.
Wisconsin exports during the first three quarters of 2012 grew faster than total U.S. exports. Wisconsin exported 6.4 percent more in the first three quarters of 2012 than in 2011, compared with 5 percent growth for the United States during the same period.
The top three markets for Wisconsin exports from January through September 2012 were Canada, Mexico and China.

When a woman of Imran said: My Lord! surely I vow to Thee what is in my womb, to be devoted (to Thy service); accept therefore from me, surely Thou art the Hearing, the Knowing.
Surah 3:35
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever makes a vow and does not state it specifically, the expiation (for such a vow) is the expiation for breaking an oath. Whoever makes a vow and is not able to fulfill it, the expiation for that is the expiation for breaking an oath. Whoever makes a vow and is able to fulfill it, let him do so."

On a bright Sunday morning, young women walked the streets of New Delhi without the fear of being ogled or groped. For yesterday's female participants in SlutWalk Delhi, one of a series of marches around the world protesting sexual violence against women, the atmosphere of safety was an exception to daily life in the Indian capital. "People stare at you, they make you feel uncomfortable, and in places where it's very crowded, people take advantage of the crowd and try to molest you," says Trishla Singh, a college student and a coordinator at the event. "On public transportation, going out on the streets, anything that has to do with going out of the house is problematic."
The SlutWalk movement, which started in Toronto in April to protest police indifference to victims of rape, spurred similar marches in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia. In these earlier versions of the event, protesters' clothes were skimpy, the lipstick flaming red and the large crowds exhibitionist in an effort to make their point. In conservative India, the message was the same, but the march through the streets of the capital took a slightly less risqué form. "It had to be a little bit toned down because we're talking about a different sociocultural context," says Singh. "If you talk about societal time frame, we are not in the same time as Toronto or the U.S."
To keep the focus on the message of protesting sexual violence, the name of the march was tweaked in Hindi to "Shameless Front." Armed with placards drawn in marker with slogans like "Stop Staring: This Is Not an Invitation to Rape Me" and "I Have Nothing to Be Ashamed of," the hundreds of protesters hoped to draw attention to the growing problem of harassment and violence that women in India are facing. The number of rape cases reported has grown 678% since the country began keeping statistics 30 years ago; rape is now considered the fastest-growing crime in the country. "There was the feeling that something really needs to be done because we all know that Delhi is highly unsafe for women," says Umang Sabarwal, a college student in New Delhi and chief organizer of the event.
A series of high-profile incidents in the capital in the past year has increased the urgency of the call to action. When a 30-year-old woman was raped going home late at night from her job at an Indian outsourcing company, the public outrage that ensued compelled the police to take action. The employee was gang-raped after being dropped off several hundred yards from her home by a hired-car service. To try to protect women going to and from work late at night in shared cabs, the New Delhi police force required companies to drop female employees at their doorsteps and to install GPS units to ensure that the rule was followed.
Incidents of sexual harassment are, in fact, so frequent on the New Delhi metro that certain cars are restricted to female passengers. Earlier this month, when New Delhi's police commissioner advised women not to travel late at night by themselves, he was criticized by women's groups and the media for not taking women's safety seriously enough. "You hear stories, and there are things that happen that are so normal because they happen to everybody," says Sabarwal. "It's very important for women to assert themselves and reclaim what is rightfully theirs."
The heightened sense that women are at risk is in part due to the increasing friction between old cultural norms and new economic realities, says Sunita Kaistha, head of the Women Work & Health Initiative, a nonprofit based in New Delhi. The economic boom that has encompassed the country has brought more women out of their traditional roles in the home and into the workforce, particularly in urban areas. In New Delhi, Kaistha sees the rise in sexual violence as linked to the rise of women in the workforce. "The culture is very patriarchal, and it's still very difficult for people to accept girls working, traveling, going out at night," she says.
The increasing number of women in the workplace has also put a spotlight on behavior in the office. A survey conducted last year by the Centre for Transforming India, a nonprofit organization in New Delhi, found that a startling 88% of female workers in the country's growing IT and outsourcing industry experienced sexual harassment on the job.
The alarming rise in violence may not mean that there are necessarily more incidents of harassment and rape but that they are finally being reported, says Urvashi Butalia, the founder of the first feminist publishing company in India. "Violence against women has always been prevalent, but it never makes it to the papers," she says. "The changing reality is women are out more, accessing the public space more, so on all fronts it's a much more public phenomenon than it was earlier."
For the participants at the New Delhi SlutWalk, taking what was once an individual struggle for Indian women to the streets was an important first step. "People are talking about it. That's a start," says Singh. "People never used to mention rape or molestation as a problem. It used to be a crime, just like stealing someone's car."

15 Rock & Roll Rebels
For these 15 revolutionaries, the only place to be was on the outside looking in.
Deep down, the bad boys are quite often the sensitive ones – the ones who feel the world's pain. They don't "do what everybody else does" because they don't understand why things have to be that way. And they often welcome the ostracism they get in return: "If you've got a blacklist, I want to be on it," as the socially conscious songwriter (and major Clash fan) Billy Bragg once sang. Here are 15 true revolutionaries, for whom the only place to be was on the outside looking in.

Nanotechnology : Prospects in Bangladesh September 29, 2012Posted by bdoza in BANGLADESH, TECHNOLOGY.
Tags: BUET, Dhaka University, nanotech, nanotechnology, research, science
An workshop on 'Nanotechnology and Its Prospect in Bangladesh' was organized recently by Dhaka University and Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina addressed the program and expressed all out support for the progress of nanotechnology in Bangladesh.
Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. The size of the materials is between 1 to 100 nano meters. The term was coined in 70s and the presence of new science could be felt in early 80s. The nanotech is gradually increasing its dimension in different field of sciences.
The prospect of nanotech is already felt by the big powers. USA has invested 3.7 billion dollars. The European Union has invested 1.2 billion and Japan 750 million dollars in development of nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology have great ptospect in developing applications in many field of sciences such as in medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production.
How can Bangladesh use this new science in its own advancement? One of the area that Bangladesh can afford is to introduce this new science in different universities. Bangladesh can also send our teachers and scientists to different leading universities and research organisations to get more knowledge and skills on the subject. If possible Bangladesh can also arrange joint research on the subject with foreign universities and organisations.
We should also try to use nano applications in its earliest opportunities.

If you're active-duty military and thinking about getting out soon, it pays to understand how your personal financial landscape will change when Uncle Sam is no longer issuing your paychecks.
First, don't overlook the not-so-small matter of finding a suitable place to begin your post-military career. Take a look at the 2013 Best Places for Veterans: Jobs list for metro areas that offer America's new generation of veterans more opportunities to find a job that correlates with their military-related skills. Houston, Dallas and Minneapolis landed the top spots in the study, commissioned by USAA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Hiring Our Heroes program.
Once you secure that civilian gig, here are two specific areas where USAA Certified Financial Planner Scott Halliwell predicts you'll see the biggest differences in benefits and pay.
No more tax-free allowances: If you've been in the military for any length of time, you've no doubt realized some of your pay comes to you free of tax. Basic allowance for subsistence (BAS) and basic allowance for housing (BAH) are two of the most common sources. What you may not realize is just how much of your hard-earned cash this tax treatment saves you.
For example, a married E-6 living in San Antonio who has one child and has been serving for more than 10 years would have a taxable base pay just shy of $39,600 annually. His non-taxable BAS and BAH would total just more than $21,300. Looked at another way, about 35 percent of this family's income would be free from taxes. If this BAS/BAH combo was instead taxable, the service member and his family could lose around $250 each month to taxes -- and that's just in federal taxes. State taxes, if applicable, could make it even more.
In other words, civilian pay and military pay are not an apples-to-apples comparison, so you've got to plan accordingly.
No more free health insurance: And while a couple hundred bucks a month is nothing to sneeze at, that could just be the tip of the iceberg. Health insurance in the military is, to put it lightly, very cost-effective. Not everyone is always thrilled with how the whole system works, but you just can't get much more cost-effective than free.
In the civilian world, the average cost for employer-based insurance plans for a family of four is around $1,300 per month, according to a study conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation. The good news is that most folks don't have to foot that entire amount. Civilian employers typically subsidize these costs so that the average monthly employee expense is about 28 percent, or $360 per month. Even so, costs for health care can vary widely from one employer to the next.
Also, it's important to know these numbers are just the premiums employees pay for the insurance. The numbers don't include co-pays, co-insurance or deductibles you might have to pay. The national average for these expenses for a family of four is about $3,600 per year, according to a study reported in the Milliman Medical Index. When you add these costs to the insurance premiums you'll have to pay, health care-related costs can easily be one of the single biggest cash outflows each month for civilians. And that's without adding in expenses for vision and dental care.
These are just two of the big financial changes people face when they leave the military, but they aren't the only ones, so it's important to have a solid game plan in place ahead of time. To help build out a plan, spend some time with the Separation Assessment Tool and the Separation Checklist on usaa.com.

3 new Bay Area halls let music ring out
Even if you never step inside a single one - and such reticence would be a mistake - the Bay Area's three new concert halls are worth visiting to see how architecture can bring cultural ambitions to life.
They're in different parts of the region, aimed at different audiences, and each strikes a distinctly different pose. The idea in each case is to stir anticipation from afar, but there's no way of mistaking one destination for the next.
Each project has its flaws, just as reality often falls short of our dreams. What counts is that each venue not only celebrates the art of live music, but has the potential to reshape the landscape around it.
The first member of the trio opened in September at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, the 1,400-seat Joan and Sanford I. Weill Hall. The two other spaces debuted in January: the 842-seat Bing Concert Hall at Stanford University and SFJazz Center's 700-seat auditorium at Fell and Franklin streets on the edge of San Francisco's Civic Center.
Varied as the locations might be, all three halls want to make a large-scale splash. While SFJazz bills its new home as the nation's first freestanding structure built expressly for jazz, Weill Hall aspires to be the West Coast equivalent of Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. As for Bing Concert Hall, Stanford officials describe its central location along Palm Drive as a symbol of the rising stature of the arts at the university.
Limestone and bronze
Given Stanford's resources, it's no surprise that Bing also had the largest budget - $112 million, starting with a $50 million gift in 2006 from Peter and Helen Bing - and that it puts on the most lavish visual show.
The hall has an egg-shaped layout, with curved walls of sandstone-colored plaster that fold in as they rise from a surrounding rectangle of formal columns. The colonnade takes its cues from Stanford's architectural tradition, as does the Spanish-flavored hue. Up close the building wants to be an icon; from afar it is obscured by the mature oaks and sycamores that make the approach to the heart of the campus so memorable.
Architect Richard Olcott of the New York firm Ennead took full advantage of the setting by framing the lobby in 19-foot-high walls of glass that can slide open when the weather allows. No expense was spared - the floors are French limestone, the portals to the hall wear a coat of polished bronze - but the tone is relaxed, more natural than posh.
The hall itself is where theatrics kick in.
Olcott and acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota have stressed that the form and finishes were driven by the quest for acoustic fidelity, yet there's a staginess in the sail-like billows of concrete that drape the upper portion of the hall or the rippled beech wood walls that flow around large clusters of seats. The ceiling's technical equipment is tucked within a white concrete "cloud" that hovers above the stage.
To this layperson's ear, Wednesday's concert by the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra sounded great. But the hall seemed eager to call attention to itself. That shouldn't be the case when music has top billing.
A bright picnic basket
The experience at Weill Hall is almost exactly the opposite.
The hall is part of Green Music Center, which was conceived more than a decade ago to be the North Bay's go-to spot for musical performances. But the ambitious plans of Sonoma State University leaders exceeded their financial resources, and it was 2006 before ground was broken.
Though the structures were finished in 2009 and the school's music department moved in, money to complete the concert hall interior wasn't available until the Weills donated $12 million in 2011. The overall budget of the complex tops $140 million.
That saga shaped the appearance of the three-building center, which has a Wine Country Tuscan look that's a shadow of the more textured and nuanced initial design concepts. The tall lobby of the hall itself, though handsome, seems geared to hold conference-type events as well as preshow crowds.
Inside the hall, the mood brightens. You've arrived.
The long, rectangular interior could be a picnic basket: The surfaces weave together birch, maple and Douglas fir, while burgundy-red acoustic panels offer a warm backdrop to the stage. Even at night there's a jaunty feel, without the forced grandeur of the Bing.
Most of the complex is the work of BAR Architects of San Francisco. The hall was designed by Boston architect William Rawn, whose credits include the acclaimed Seiji Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood. Many of the details in Sonoma are borrowed from that building, including the most unusual feature, a rear wall that opens so 5,000 more people can enjoy the music from the sloped lawn beyond.
Dim lights, dark lobby
Unlike the other newcomers, SFJazz Center is intensely urban. Traffic races by the $64 million center on two sides. The restaurant zone of Hayes Valley begins across an alley to the north.
The architecture is urban as well, perhaps too much so, and during the day the three-story shell with vertical bars of clear and translucent glass looks a lot like nearby modern office buildings. It's at night that the ethereal cool of the design by Mark Cavagnero Associates comes into focus. The translucent bars float in the darkness like abstract piano keys, and people moving through the glassed-in lobbies add a shadowy depth.
The hall itself is steep and dark, with tiered sections that seem to collide, the antithesis of the open feel of Bing and Weill. The challenge of fitting 700 seats into a fairly small space means that by the end of the evening, larger listeners can feel cramped.
The same spatial challenge also translates to small lobbies on the first and second floors - but Cavagnero's response is a truly memorable space. Stand in line for a drink on the concrete floor upstairs, with car lights outside and a black metal grid ceiling above, and it's as though you're standing in an alley outside a treasured club.
Conscious or not, the result is a 21st century take on the gritty allure associated with jazz in all its permutations. It moves tradition forward, as all good cultural architecture should do.

Why would someone rush out of the city on Friday after work to drive deep into the night and get up extra early the following morning just to go for a walk? Because it's not just any walk; it's a CAT (Citizen Action for Tigers) walk where participants volunteer to help protect Malaysia's wildlife. And indeed community participation – a hallmark of many SOS funded projects, is what makes the difference.
The idea behind protecting Peninsular Malaysia's remaining tiger populations from poaching is simple: get people into the forest, to experience wild nature firsthand. As the saying goes, people only protect what they know, which is the rationale driving the success of the CAT Walks so far organised by the Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers (MYCAT), an SOS grantee. With the discovery of a tiger pugmark from an individual animal possibly new to the region on the first CAT Walk of 2013, it seems the future is bright for community conservation in Taman Negara according to Kae Kawanishi, General Manager of MYCAT. It is also the first time since 2010 for any CAT volunteers to encounter a tiger sign, making the sighting extra special. Being in the jungle, for many of the participants is an adventure in itself, but to make such an exciting discovery will serve as excellent motivation to other volunteers, she asserts.
Suffering from a lack of government resources to regularly patrol and manage the vast areas of jungle in its landmass against poaching, the call for community conservation has surfaced in Malaysia's national press several times in the past six months. Already MYCAT is one step ahead on the trail, implementing the CAT programme since 2010. Initially offering walks lasting a few hours for the general public once a month, it grew to include specially organised events catering to company personnel as CSR and team building exercises and also the CAT Trailblazer – a week-long jungle trek with park rangers for the more adventurous volunteers. One of the first corporate volunteers to the CAT Walk programme, Royal Selangor signed up for repeat visits for its staff members, with company representative Tan Jooi Chong explaining:
"We jumped at the chance to conduct a CSR program with MYCAT. It was a wonderful trip of exploring and learning. When we checked the camera traps, seeing a tiger, other wild cats and elephants was so exciting. We enjoyed ourselves very much and look forward to the next three CAT walks when more staff will participate."
Summing up the success of the project so far, Kawanishi explains: "Give people the opportunity to become part of the solution and they will embrace it. If it is a positive experience, they spread the word." A case in point is a junglecraft enthusiast who resides in Malaysia, Paul Colclough. He participated in one of the first CAT Trailblazers, and has since created two promotional films for distribution online to help promote and explain the value of the initiative to a wider audience.
While open to all, so far CAT trips seemed to attract urban residents for whom the prospect of getting 'away from it all' might appeal. Word of mouth is key, and leveraging online tools like Facebook and YouTube, along with the Tiger Roadshows at local public places, such as night markets and shopping malls has helped to raise awareness on MYCAT conservation programmes among various audiences. CAT Walks used to consist of a weekend stay in the forest of Taman Negara including a hike or two, but the programme has been refined and expanded to include training up volunteer team leaders and camera trapping activities as well. It is hoped that with a team of specially trained volunteer leaders, MYCAT can operate a CAT Walk every weekend, creating a consistent presence along the trails and paths through the forest bordering the western side of Taman Negara National Park. Meanwhile all participants get to experience very real conservation work on the ground, learning how to navigate in the forest terrain using compasses and GPS units, as well as checking camera traps for evidence of wildlife passing through the area. Of course there is also the more serious work of surveillance walks, and searching for and deactivating snares which are later removed by law enforcement officers from the Wildlife Department.
While exciting and generally enjoyable, the discovery of a sun bear's skull and bones beside an old wire snare proved a sobering encounter for one team of volunteers. The poachers had left the animal to die an agonising death, illustrated by the deep claw marks on the tree trunk to which the snare was attached. While saddening, the event underscored the need for continued and enhanced on-the-ground protection if tigers and other wildlife of Taman Negara are to survive the onslaught of poaching.
