Old world monkeys have surprisingly complex brains says a new study out of Duke University. A team of evolutionary anthropologists lead by Lauren Gonzales scanned the brain of an ancient monkey known as Victoriapithecus.
The skull, found in Kenya in 1997, was scanned using micro CT-scans, which revealed a wrinkled and well-defined brain. The team conducting the study even said parts of the brain are more developed than those of currently living monkeys.
The scan revealed the brain volume was only about 36 cubic centimetres, less than half the volume of living monkeys. However, the small size doesn't mean it's not complex. The researchers found that the olfactory area was three times larger than expected. This region of the brain is responsible for scent so it is expected that this monkey would have had a very strong sense of smell.
According to Lauren Gonzales, the olfactory part of the brain if very small in living primates compared to the size of the rest of the brain but this is not the case with Victoriapithecus. She also said that as vision improved in modern primates, the olfactory region shrunk but the team believes Victoriapithecus had both a strong sense of smell and vision.
There is still debate among the scientific community about whether brain complexity or size came first in primates. This study suggests complexity was first to arise and primates became more intelligent and began to evolve in hominids and eventually humans.
Gonzalez says: "In the part of the primate family tree that includes apes and humans, the thinking is that brains got bigger and then they get more folded and complex, But this study is some of the hardest proof that in monkeys, the order of events was reversed — complexity came first and bigger brains came later."
The study was published in the journal Nature.

Photo taken in:LublinYear when photo was taken:1940Country name at time of photo:PolandCountry name today:Poland
This is my brother Mordekhai Honiksman at the age of 15. The photo was taken in Lublin in 1940. This is the only memory I have of my brother. I received it along with the last letter from our home in Mahilyow on 23rd September 1940. My brother Mordekhai was born in 1925. I already studied at cheder. Then I went to a Polish elementary school. Mordekhai also went to cheder and to the same Polish school. We looked much alike. My brother studied well and could have grown into a very decent man. On 1st September 1939 World War II began. Hitler attacked Poland. Of course, we understood that it was inevitable. We read the newspapers and knew about the tension, Hitler coming to power and his attitude toward Jews. All poor people had big hopes for the Soviet Union and so did poor Jewish people. On the same day our town was bombed. My mother said that I had to get away. My friends and I decided to leave. We formed a group of 20-30 people and started moving to the east. We were planning to cross the Bug River to get to the Soviet Union. In December 1939 I wrote a letter home telling them where I was. I was so concerned about them and hoped to get a letter from them, but there was none. I didn't have any information about the situation in Poland. In 1940 I received a letter from my mother. There was a photograph of my brother Mordekhai and a short note from my mother. She wrote that she was very happy that I wasn't with them since they were in a very tough situation. She didn't describe any details. My closest ones - my father, brother, mother and sister perished in Lublin ghetto. Only few years ago I found out that they were on the lists of those exterminated in Lublin ghetto on 7th November 1942. I received a document from Lublin confirming that Mordekhai Honiksman and Samuel Honiksman were on the list of those that were exterminated. My mother and sister were not mentioned in any lists. They perished without being included in any lists. I don't even know where their ashes are buried.

Unfortunately, not everyone grows up with guns. It's a sad truth that I've found myself pondering over the past few days. The truth of the matter is that some people will go their whole lives without pulling a trigger. The way I see it, this is some serious stuff!
It's sometimes hard for me to imagine my life before guns, but there was a time when my concept of a gun was nothing more than a toy or movie prop. My parents didn't keep guns in the house when I was growing up. I managed to get a couple of rounds off with my friends or on special occasions with my grandparents, but nothing on a regular basis.
I remember the first shot I ever took: I was six years old, wide-eyed with adrenaline pumping through my veins. Nothing too fancy, just an old Red Ryder BB gun. I used my puny muscles to pump three or four times, raised the gun to my shoulder, and pulled the trigger. I nailed an empty Dr. Pepper can I had propped up on a five-gallon bucket. The ding of a BB passing through an aluminum can still brings a smile to my face even today. From that moment on, I was hooked.
A few years later I took yet another monumental step- I bought my first gun. My grandpa sold me an old shotgun he'd kept in his gun safe for years. It had every kind of nick and scratch imaginable from over a decade of consistent use. It needed some serious maintenance and I tended to it in the same way a mother would her sick child. Needless to say, it wasn't in great condition, but it was mine.

Like many Americans before me I had crossed in to the realm of gun ownership, a true convert of our second amendment right to bear arms. For many of us it's a rite of passage, a freedom and right that we have the privilege to exercise in this great country.
While everyone's story is different, we all have one thing in common: At some point we all took that first shot. My first experience with guns will always hold a special place in my heart. What's your story?
This blog is the first of a four part series I'm calling "Freedom to Fire." This series will take a look at the past, getting back to the basics of why we're where we are today. Check back regularly for updates and new posts.

As part of a large group, being able to travel together is the most important thing. It saves money, time and gas, because the pickup is done either from one designated location or from a couple of points instead of picking each and everyone in your group from their home. The private bus transportation is perfect for going to conferences and private parties, for surprise birthdays and weddings. The person in charge with the group can coordinate with the rest as well as with the driver and decide what pickup location is best for everyone. With a set pick-up time you won't have to worry about hitting traffic on the way to pickup someone in your group and once everyone is in the bus, you are all ready to start your itinerary. With everyone in the group present, last minute organization is made a lot easier and no one is left aside. You can all decide, as a group what to do next, where to stop for lunch in case of a longer trip or you can discuss any other traveling related details. Another plus in choosing private bus transportation services is that you are connected at all times to the outside world, you have access to media controllers and TVs so you an sit back, listen to some music, watch a movie and just seat back and relax all the way to your destination.

Overall appreciation
Value for moneyConvenience
"Travelled first class sleeper - though on the train did not appear a lot of difference to a second class sleeper. There was not much room for large luggage as it would not slide under the lower bed. Everything was fine, used the shower in the morning which was great to arrive refreshed. Bed was comfortable though pillow was very small, but was able to access a second one. Slept very well throughout the night, although shared control of air con in the twin sleeper meant I was very hot. Sharing is luck of the drawer, my companion was fine. Slight delay to commencing journey, but we were kit informed, and we arrived in the morning well refreshed. Great to wake up with views of the Danish country side. Overall a very good journey. "

New vulnerability found in OpenSSL months after Heartbleed scare
+Continue Reading
A new report launched by OpenSSL has revealed another security flaw within the coding that allows for Man In The Middle (MITM) attacks that could potentially decrypt traffic going between an effected client and server.
Just a couple of months ago we had the Heartbleed Bug, a massive vulnerability that had been exploited for years. It allowed potential back doors to be open in every website using OpenSSL (pretty much all of them). A fact that was allegedly regularly taken advantage of, including by the NSA.

I love green roofs. And I love innovative mass transit.
Still, when I first heard about PhytoKinetic's efforts to put green roofs on buses, I assumed it was something out of The Onion.
Or maybe "Portlandia."
Mobile green roofs
The idea, as detailed in media outlets ranging from the UK's (usually green skeptic) Daily Mail to the sustainable design folks at Inhabitat, is to install "air purifying" green roofs on city buses. Here's how the project's founder, Marc Granen, explained the logic to the Daily Mail:
The lungs of a city must grow at the same rate as its population, but much-needed green areas are not always available. PhytoKinetic has grown out of this supposition, with the goal of delivering a practical and tangible solution. If finding new urban spaces for gardens is problematic, we can use spaces that already exist, such as the roofs of city public transport. Our mission is to expand the garden area in urban areas, increase the absorption of CO2 and give public transport a new ecological and tourist attraction.
The gardens, which are planted in lightweight hydroponic foam, can be irrigated using the condensation from the buses' own air conditioning systems. There may indeed be significant benefits from cooling the interior space — Granen claims that temperatures inside a prototype bus were reduced 3.5 degrees Celsius by the installation of the roof — presumably reducing the fuel needed to run the air conditioning. There is, however, a major drawback in terms of fuel consumption.
Gardens are heavy, and they are not exactly aerodynamic.
Significant additional weight
So far, digging through the specs on PhytoKinetic's website, I've been unable to find stats on fuel consumption. But I did confirm that at maximum water capacity, the system adds 60kg/m2, or roughly the weight of one person every square meter. This added weight sparked discussion on a post about the project over at Urban Gardens, with one commenter voicing similar concerns to my own.
Here's the response posted from Granen:
"Of course — as is the case with the buses, which have a gas engine on the roof, an air conditioning system, or electric batteries. BUT, the more weight you add on the top of a public bus, the fewer people can travel inside, so the weight remains more or less the same. Here in Europe, the law says that when something is installed on the roof, the bus has to accept fewer standing passengers. For each 68Kg you add, one standing passenger place is lost. If you were to look for it, you would see that buses with items on their roofs, have fewer passengers. PhytoKinetic works exactly the same way.
Number of passengers impacts efficiency
Given that buses are designed to carry as many people as possible from A to B, their efficiency should be judged not per vehicle, but per passenger. And reduced passenger capacity means more fuel used per passenger mile.
Aesthetics and delight do matter
That said, aesthetics and comfort are important considerations too. And these gardens do look delightful. (As evidence, check out the time-lapse video from Urban Gardens below.) Reading through comments from around the web, it seems many people are enamored with these moving parks. And igniting passion for, and interest in, our mass transit systems should be openly encouraged.
I just can't help feeling these should go on bus stops first. We've got plenty of other surfaces to green before we start weighing down our buses.

When we lived in Massachusetts and I was taking courses towards my Ph.D., we were also struggling with infertility and with a series of failed infertility treatments. (I'll spare you the details!) Nobody knew about it but my parents, 2 of my siblings, and one very close friend. It was a very private matter for me and a very emotional matter. I had an excellent visiting teacher at the time--Christy--who came one month when the message was on motherhood. But instead of giving the message, she brought this poem and told me that she thought what I was doing at the time--going to school--was preparing me for the mothering that would come in my future. I've loved this poem ever since.
And I've been thinking about this poem a lot the past 6 months as my school demands have grown very large in proportion to what I feel I should be doing with my mothering as well. I've thought about it to remind myself that what I take on in addition to "Mom" can and should improve the nest that I am building here at home. I have been thinking about what I will do after the next couple of months when getting my Ph.D. will be a past tense project and how I can incorporate into my nest-building what I have learned and who I have become as a result of it. I do know now, with the blessing of hindsight, that Christy was absolutely right. The process of "reaching," of becoming "filled . . . from God's and man's very best" doesn't have to happen through a Ph.D. but however it does happen is crucial to my self-building and my nest-building.
"On Nest Building"
by Carol Lyn Pearson
Mud is not bad for nest building.
Mud and sticks
And a fallen feather or two will do
And require no reaching.
I could rest there, with my tiny ones,
Sound for the season, at least.
If I may fly awhile—
If I may cut through a sunset going out
And a rainbow coming back,
Color upon color sealed in my eyes—
If I may have the unboundaried skies
For my study,
Clouds, cities, rivers for my rooms—
If I may search the centuries
For melody and meaning—
If I may try for the sun—
I shall come back
Bearing such beauties
Gleaned from God's and man's very best.
I shall come filled.
And then—
Oh, the nest that I can build!

This Fitzroy terrace extension by Maynard Architects fits together like a game of Tetris.
March 11th, 2009
Adding a rear extension to an inner-city Victorian Terrace is nothing new, but Andrew Maynard Architects took to this house, in Melbourne's Fitzroy, from a different angle.
"Our Essex St house was about timber construction and detailing. Our Tattoo house was about graphics. The Vader house is about steel construction and detailing," says Andrew Maynard – Principal.
"I made a conscious effort to explore steel tectonics simply because I had not built using steel often in the past.
The extension is described by the architect as being "created out of components that appear to have fallen at the eastern end of the site in a Tetris-like manner."
"Unexpectedly a random Tetris piece has lodged itself deep within the walls of the original building," Maynard says.
"This floating block provides the master bedroom with a en-suite reflecting its downstairs companion."
The high masonry boundary wall defines the internal spaces and focuses attention on the courtyard areas – into which the living areas flow. The minimal colour palate – a deep red, clean white and the rawness of the brickwork – combines to create a sense of warmth and character.
The black louvred mezzanine level of the extension 'peeps' over the rear wall, creating dynamic angles and a sharp contrast to the original bare-brick wall.
Clever uses of the internal spaces have allowed for a spa, beneath the timber decking of the courtyard as well as a cellar beneath trapdoors in the floorboards of the extension.
"The most difficult aspect of the project was simply fitting in all of the program while still making the end result feel open, light and roomy," Maynard says.
"This flexible design, accompanied by its carefully composed material and colour palette, results in an extension that will adapt to function, clients desire and most importantly the demands of time."
Maynard Architects
From the arhcitect
"Creating the open expanse of the folded roof form, the playfulness of the hanging beam and the folded stair along with the refined detailing of the folding steel doors and windows was a joy that offered a lot of freedom that the timber tectonics of our past projects could not have achieved.
"The hanging beam is my favourite feature (image 2). It looks like it is defying gravity [or it looks like someone photoshopped a column out of the image].
"Many lay-people that see the hanging beam simply don't understand it. There is an assumption by many that the beam must be taking load from above when in fact it is hanging from the beam above it for the sole purpose of housing the track for the folding doors.
"The client gave us an extensive and complex brief. A brief such as this typically leads to a huge, dense building on such a small block like this.
"I spent a great deal of time massaging the site strategy and the design to ensure that the overall composition was not simply a functional collection of stuff stacked together on a small block."
And why the name Vader?
We were told it's part of a Maynard in-house joke, but were told no more!

Report: Heather Locklear hospitalized after family altercation, threatening to shoot herself
Photo by Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic(LOS ANGELES) — TMZ is reporting that former Melrose Place star Heather Locklear is currently undergoing a psychiatric evaluation in a Los Angeles hospital following a physical altercation with family members, and alleged threats she was going to harm herself.
The gossip site reports the 56-year-old actress seemed agitated and threatened to shoot herself, so her parents went to her home. It was there Locklear allegedly got physical, choking her mother and punching her father, TMZ reports. Her mother then called the police, and Locklear was taken to a hospital.
Back in February, Locklear was arrested at her California home when she allegedly went after cops who tried to take her into custody, following a fight that broke out between the actress and her boyfriend, Chris Heisser.
Locklear was arrested for felony domestic violence and three counts of battery on emergency personnel and reportedly subsequently entered a rehab program.
Locklear first rose to stardom as a cast member of the 1980s police drama T.J. Hooker, opposite William Shatner. She also co-starred on the nighttime soaps Dynasty and Melrose Place, and the sitcom Spin City. Her most recent acting credit, according to IMDB, was last year on the Tyler Perry-produced TV drama Too Close to Home.

Git changes the game of distributed Web development
Modern version control systems provide powerful support for collaboration
Version control systems (VCSs) provide a mechanism for applying and managing changes to sets of files in a project and are commonly used in team-oriented software, documentation, and other online development projects. VCSs are just as critical to development projects as system backups, as they enable multiple users to submit changes to the same files or project without one developer's changes accidentally overwriting another's.
Even if Linus Torvalds hadn't developed the Linux® operating system kernel, he might be just as famous for having created the Git VCS. Projects as complex as Linux are the ultimate system test for a VCS, so it's no surprise that Git has quickly evolved into a stable, powerful, and flexible system.
Linux and UNIX® systems are knee-deep in VCSs, ranging from dinosaurs such as the Revision Control System (RCS) and the Concurrent Versions System (CVS) to more modern systems such as Subversion, Mercurial, Bazaar, Arch, and Darcs. Ironically (especially in the Linux domain), Git was developed as a replacement for a commercial VCS called BitKeeper, which had both unique, impressive capabilities and a free version. BitKeeper is still impressive, but licensing changes eventually caused Torvalds to look for alternatives; in the finest free software tradition, he eventually decided to write his own. Like the Linux kernel, Git is now the product of enhancements, bug fixes, and other contributions from countless open source developers.
Git is attractive both because of its power and because of the cost savings associated with free software, and it is rapidly being adopted by many open source software projects, academic institutions, and organizations. Once "inside" a corporate or academic environment, Git's benefits as both a VCS and a platform for collaboration have led to its adoption by many projects outside the traditional "source code" arena. As this article discusses, Git is especially useful in complex, distributed Web development projects that have both content and development requirements and therefore require up-to-date interaction among different people.
Git: more than just a VCS
Git was designed to facilitate distributed development among thousands of developers working at many different locations with different degrees of Internet connectivity without introducing significant performance or access bottlenecks. The most important aspects supporting these fundamental requirements in Git are:
- Using a central repository but providing each developer on a project with a complete copy of the source code for that project. This guarantees that all developers can get work done regardless of their current connectivity.
- Providing fast and reliable support for creating different working sets, known as branches, within a software project and sharing changes across them, known as merges. Branches make it easy to support different versions of a software package, regardless of whether those versions are permanent or were created for experimentation. Merges are a key aspect of a source code control system in general and are especially common in a branch-oriented VCS.
- Making it easy to share in-progress branches and code changes between subsets of developers without requiring that those changes first be checked in to the central repository.
These design decisions and their implementation are key aspects of Git's success and usability. Of course, Git also satisfies standard VCS requirements such as immutability and accountability. Immutability means that once changes are committed to a repository, they are a permanent part of a project's historical record. Even though they can subsequently be un-done (known as reverting), both the changes and the replacement code that undoes those changes are a permanent part of project history. Accountability means that it is easy to determine who made a specific change and when that change was made. Why a change was made may still be a mystery (though some comment is required whenever a change is committed), but at least you know whom to ask.
Git uses an internal index to track the state of the files and directories in a repository. It also stores objects that reflect changes to those files and directories to simplify subsequent updates. Git's index and these objects are distinct from the actual files and directories present in a local repository—a model that makes it easy to identify files and directories that have changed locally but have not yet been committed to a local repository or a remote central repository (if one is present). Some Git commands operate on the index, while others operate on actual file and directory contents, which can be confusing if you use the wrong command and wonder why files haven't been updated.
Getting Git
Most Linux distributions provide the packages for Git in their package repository. On Ubuntu, Debian, and similar systems that use the .deb package format, you need to install the git-core package. On RPM-based systems such as Fedora, Red Hat, Centos, SUSE, and Mandriva, the main Git package is simply called git. The basic Git package requires that Perl, Perl libraries for encryption and error handling, and the patch utility are also installed on your system.
If you need the latest and greatest version of Git for your Linux system, the Git Web site provides links to prepackaged .deb and RPM packages as well as the latest Git source code (if you want to build your own version). The Git site also provides links to precompiled versions of Git for Mac® OS X, native Windows®, Cygwin on Windows systems, and Sun/Oracle Solaris® systems. At the moment, IBM® AIX® and Hewlett-Packard® HP-UX systems administrators have to build Git from source code for their platforms. See Related topics for information about obtaining or building Git for your platform.
The main Git package contains the git executable and a few auxiliary Git applications. As you might expect, a huge number of other Git-related packages are also available. Some of the most popular Git-related packages include:
- git-cola. A GUI for working with files and directories in a Git repository
- git-doc. Installs the Git user's manual, tutorial, and documentation locally
- git-gui. A GUI for browsing and working with Git repositories; uses the gitk package
- git-web. A graphical, Web-based interface to Git repositories
- gitk. A simple GUI for browsing and working with Git repositories
- qgit. A graphical Qt-based application for viewing and exploring Git repositories
The git-gui, git-web, gitk,, and qgit packages provide similar functionality, though git-web is Web based, while all the others run locally. Any of these packages can be useful when you're getting started with Git, though the git-web package is probably the best choice in a distributed environment.
If you're interested in experimenting with Git but are already committed to another VCS, the following packages can be useful:
- git-cvs. This package provides interoperability between Git and CVS repositories, enabling you to import CVS repositories and change history into Git, work in Git, merge your changes back to the CVS repository, and import updates from the CVS repository.
- git-svn. This package provides interoperability between Git and Subversion repositories, enabling you to import Subversion repositories and change history into Git, work in Git, merge your changes back to the Subversion repository, and import updates from the Subversion repository.
Common Git commands
Git is what is traditionally referred to as a command suite, meaning that the
primary command you use is
git and that the first
argument on the command line indicates the specific Git command you want to run.
You can see a list of common Git commands at any time by running the
command with no arguments. The following is a subset of this list:
add. Adds a new file to Git's index. You will still have to commit this file to actually add its contents to a Git repository.
branch. Enables you to list branches that you have checked out, identify the branch that you're currently working on, create new branches, or destroy local copies of branches that you have created or checked out. This command does not switch to other branches: You do that using Git's
checkout. Checks out a specified branch or file/directory. If you are checking out a branch, that branch becomes your working branch. If you specify a certain file or directory, that file or directory will be updated to match the version currently checked in to the repository on the branch where you are working. You can also use this command to create a new branch that is based on and optionally tracks changes to a specified existing branch.
commit. Records changes to files and directories in Git's index. You can either specify the files and directories whose changes you want to commit, use the
-aoption to add all pending changes to files Git is tracking, or use the
--interactiveoption to select the file or directory changes that you want to commit together. (The latter is especially useful if you are working on several different tasks involving large numbers of files but want to commit certain changes together. Commits are made to the local repository; if you are using a remote, central repository, you must still use Git's
pushcommand to push your local changes to the remote repository.)
diff. Displays differences between local files and other commits or between files in two different commits. This command is most commonly used by simply specifying a file name, which displays the differences between the specified file and the version of that file committed to your repository on the current branch.
fetch. Retrieves index updates from another repository, identifying new tags that have been created and providing information about file or directory changes that have been committed to that repository but are not yet present locally. You can then inspect available changes using the
git logcommand. To actually retrieve associated file changes after a fetch, you would use either the
git pullor
git rebasecommand.
grep. Looks for and displays matches for a pattern in files in your current branch. This command supports most of your favorite GNU
log. Shows commit log information for the current branch or for specified files in the current branch.
merge. Merges changes from one branch to another. This command provides options to determine whether merged changes are automatically committed, enabling you to explore the impact of a merge before actually accepting those changes.
mv. Renames a file, directory, or symbolic link that Git is currently tracking.
pull. Retrieves index updates from another repository and merges them into the files and directories in the current branch.
push. Updates a remote repository with local index and object change information.
rebase. Updates your current branch to match a remote branch and modifies any local commits that have not been pushed to the remote branch so that they can be applied to the current state of that remote branch. This is a powerful but potentially dangerous command, because it literally rewrites commits as needed so that they can be merged. Depending on the frequency and extent of changes to a remote repository, simply using the
git pullcommand is often an attractive alternative.
rm. Removes a file, directory, or symbolic link that Git is currently tracking.
stash. Temporarily pushes your current changes onto a stack and returns your current checkout to a virgin state.
git stash savesaves your current changes on a local stack, while
git stash applyretrieves and reapplies them. This can be useful when you want to fetch remote changes or rebase without permanently committing in-progress changes.
status. Shows the status of the current branch, identifying changes that have not been committed, files that are not being tracked, and so on.
All Git commands accept a
--help option, which is your best
friend when trying to get more detailed information about any of these commands,
the list of command-line options that each accepts, and so on. You can also execute the
git help command to obtain help about
any Git command.
For a complete list of Git commands, execute the
man git
command to see the online reference information for Git.
Setting up a new Git project
To begin using Git with an existing project that is not under any sort of revision control, perform the following steps:
- Change to the directory containing the source code for your project:
$ cd www.move2linux.com $ ls greenbar_wide.gif images index.html legacy.html services.html
- Use the
git initcommand to create an empty repository in the current directory:
$ git init Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
- Optionally, use the
git statuscommand to check the status of your new project.
This command lists all the files and directories in the current directory as untracked, meaning that Git knows that they are present but has not been instructed to track the files:
$ git status # On branch master # # Initial commit # # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # greenbar_wide.gif # images/ # index.html # legacy.html # services.html nothing added to commit but untracked files present...
- Add the files and directories in your project to your new Git repository.
You can either list them explicitly or use a period (
.) as the traditional short cut for "the contents of the current directory:"
$ git add .
- Re-execute the
git statuscommand to verify that all the files in the current directory and all its subdirectories have been added to your new project:
$ git status # On branch master # # Initial commit # # Changes to be committed: # (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage) # # new file: greenbar_wide.gif # new file: images/digits/b/0.gif # new file: images/digits/b/1.gif # new file: images/digits/b/4.gif # new file: images/digits/b/5.gif # new file: images/digits/b/6.gif # new file: images/digits/b/7.gif # new file: images/digits/b/8.gif # new file: images/digits/b/9.gif # new file: index.html # new file: legacy.html # new file: services.html #
- Execute the
git commitcommand to check in your initial files.
Unless you use the
-m "commit message"option to specify your commit message on the command line, this command starts the default editor, in which you must enter a comment that will be associated with the commit. After saving your comment and exiting the editor, Git checks in the files associated with the change and displays information about the commit and the associated files.
$ git commit Created initial commit dfbd6cc: Initial checkin 12 files changed, 285 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) ...
At this point, you're ready to use the commands discussed above to begin working in Git with your project files.
Making changes to an existing Git project
If you want to begin making your own changes to a Git project that someone
has already created, getting started is even easier. You simply use the
git clone command to create your own
working copy of the Git project:
$ git clone /home/jake/src/maps
This example creates a copy of the Git maps project in your current working directory. You can then change directory to your copy of the maps project and use the commands discussed earlier to begin working with the files in that project in Git.
Cloning a Git project
Cloning a Git project located on another machine is equally simple. Git supports the Secure shell (SSH) and HTTP protocols by default and can also use its own hyper-efficient git protocol if a Git daemon is running on the remote system and exporting the project that you're interested in. Git uses SSH by default, so the syntax for cloning a repository via SSH is exactly what you'd expect:
$ git clone remote-machine:/home/jake/src/maps $ git clone ssh://remote-machine/home/jake/src/maps
Note: Cloning a Git project via SSH requires that you have authenticated access to the remote system, which is a good argument for using the git protocol, even though it requires that you run the Git daemon.
Distributed Web development with Git
Repositories such as the one you created above contain a working copy of all the files in a Git project as well as all the files required for Git's use in tracking changes, branches, tags, and so on. By default, pushing to Git repositories that contain working copies of the files in a project only updates the index for that project, not the actual files in the project. This is because trying to update the files themselves could introduce merge conflicts if you were also working on the same files.
To create a Git project that you can push to, you need to create what is known as a bare repository—that is, one that does not contain a working copy of your file but contains the Git index, objects reflecting updates to that index, and other files that Git requires. Because a bare repository does not contain a working copy of your files, no one can actually work there, and it simply serves as a collection point for all developers working on the project that it contains.
Perform the following steps to create a Git repository on a Web server that contains the content of your Web site and that you and other developers can push to. This procedure also replaces your existing Web content directory with a directory that contains a checked-out version of your new Git repository and that is updated automatically whenever files are pushed to the shared Git repository. There are many ways to do this: This example was designed to be easy to follow and therefore only involves the HTML content on your Web site. You can follow the same principles to work on any other portion of your Web site.
- Use SSH on your Web server, and change to the directory containing
your Web content.
If your Web content is not already being tracked by Git, use the process described in the previous section to set up a Git repository there. For example:
$ ssh somehost $ cd /var/www/html $ git init $ git add . $ git commit -m "Initial commit"
- Change directory up one level, and create a bare Git repository by
cloning the project that you just created for your Web content:
$ cd .. $ git clone --bare html html.git
It is good practice to create your bare repository with the .git extension so that you can view it with tools such as gitweb, which requires this extension.
- Rename your existing Web directory, and create a new Git project by
the same name by cloning your bare repository:
$ mv html html.OLD && git clone html.git html
The new project directory contains a checked-out version of all the files in the Git project that correspond to your Web server content.
- Edit (or create) a post-update script in the hooks subdirectory of your
bare repository that pushes changes to the new project directory
that contains the checked-out files for your Web content.
This script will be executed once after any of the files being tracked by your bare repository are updated. Make sure that this script is executable:
$ pushd html.git/hooks $ emacs post-update $ chmod 755 post-update
Your post-update script should look something like Listing 1.
Listing 1. The post-update script
#!/bin/bash # WEB_DIR="/var/www/html" export GIT_DIR="$WEB_DIR/.git" pushd $WEB_DIR > /dev/null git pull popd > /dev/null
Note that this script must use /bin/bash as its interpreter to be able to use that shell's
popdbuilt-in commands. If the post-update file already exists, you can simply append the rest of the script to it after verifying the interpreter. You must also make sure that any existing commands in an existing post-update script are not preceded by an
execcommand, which would prevent subsequent lines in the file from being executed.
At this point, you or any other developer can clone the bare repository on your Web server and begin working on your Web site. You and any other developer can then work together on the files that make up your Web site by performing any of the following tasks:
- Work on files in your checkout of the Web site and push them directly to the shared central repository.
- Work on files in your checkout of the Web site and have a coworker pull committed changes from your checkout into his or hers. This enables you to collaboratively work on files before pushing them to the shared central repository and therefore to your Web site.
Although Git is much faster than most VCSs, it may be impractical to work directly in your Web site's directory if you are working with a large and complex site that is heavily used. Visitors may accidentally receive updates to some files while other files have not yet been updated. This can be especially problematic if CSS updates are not received when updated pages that use them are loaded. You can often prevent this problem using solutions like symbolic links in your Web server to actually point to your content directory and switching them when you want updated content to go live, or by modifying your Web server configuration file to point to a different directory and gracefully restarting the Web server when you want your new content to go live.
Git is a powerful, flexible VCS that provides many collaborative capabilities because of the distributed audience for which it was designed. Git is enabling collaborative development in new and different ways, including shared development of Web sites, Web-based applications, and so on, and is well worth the time it takes to understand its internals and learn the subset of Git commands that you will commonly use.

Disney World is famous for its large variety of food and it's not just about food at table service restaurants. Some of the most popular food people constantly talk about and crave are snacks and/or unique food to eat on-the-go. Some of the favorites are Dole Whips, Turkey Legs, funnel cakes, Mickey pretzels and Mickey Ice Cream Bars. Here are five of the most unknown foods you can try at Walt Disney World.
- Croissant Doughnut AKA Cronut--Disney World calls the Cronut a Croissant Doughnut due to copyright laws. Guests can pick this delicious goody up at the Refreshment Port by the Canadian pavilion. They are made-to-order! Doughnut batter is layered to resemble the flaky texture of a croissant and then deep fried while you wait. The Cronut is then rolled in cinnamon sugar and served hot. This treat is large enough to share, but some may not want to because it tastes that goo! The Croissant Doughnut is a culinary delight everyone should try at least once!
- Asian Food Take-Out (Not in Epcot!)--Some would not think of getting take-out while on vacation at the Happiest Place on Earth where the food options are endless, but maybe you need a night to rest after a few days of being on the GO GO GO!! Maybe you can't get reservations at Yak & Yeti restaurant? Well, head on over to Yak & Yeti Local Foods Café in Asia at Animal Kingdom. You have your choice of fried and sauced honey chicken with broccoli or sweet and sour chicken with carrots and peppers. Both entrées are served with steamed white rice and traditional sauces. Be forewarned that they no longer provide fortune cookies. So, if you want something sweet after you eat dinner, be sure to pick something up on the way back. The food is delicious!
- Brioche Ice Cream Sandwich--It's not what you think! If you're from Maine, you're picturing a "Sea Dog Biscuit". Most people hear the title and think it's ice cream in between two cookies, right? L'Artisan des Glaces in the France pavilion in Epcot threw a wrench into what most think were an obvious snack. The Croque Glacé is a warm brioche ice cream sandwich. Brioche is a sweet French bread. The bread is sliced open and filled with a large scoop of your favorite ice cream. The sandwich is placed in a special press to warm the bun and then it is topped with your choice of chocolate or raspberry sauce. Different? Yup! And very tasty!
- Zebra Domes--These are found at the Animal Kingdom Lodge's restaurants Mara and Boma. Zebra Domes are an unusual dessert that is exclusive to these restaurants ONLY. These small desserts are a creamy mousse over a shortbread wafer. The vanilla mousse is flavored with another mousse made with Amarula Cream Liquer, which is derived from the African Marula tree. These tiny bites from heaven are then drizzled with chocolate syrup to resemble the animal for which they are named……..Zebra!
- The Grey Stuff--You can try the grey stuff for lunch when you order the Master's Cupcake or the brownie dessert at dinner. "The Grey Stuff" is a cookies and cream mousse. It's light and not too sweet. "Try the grey stuff. It's delicious. Don't believe me? Ask the dishes!" ~~Lumiere, Beauty and the Beast

The Zika virus broke out within the countries of South America, largely in Brazil. Since the outbreak it has moved northwards into Central and North America, with the first case being confirmed in Dallas, Texas. Until now, it is said, Zika can only be transmitted through a mosquito carrying the disease – although the case in Dallas may question this statement.
What is the Zika Virus and its Consequences?
Zika was first found in monkeys throughout Uganda in the 1940's in the Zika Forest, giving the disease its name -- with the first human known to contract the disease in 1954 in Nigeria. The disease is believed to be linked to the birth of babies which have under-developed brains making it a devastating infection for pregnant mothers – with no pharmaceutical remedy or vaccine.
Ultimately, if a pregnant mother is infected by a Zika carrying mosquito, she, in turn, can pass the infection to the baby in her womb, resulting in the baby being born with an underdeveloped head and brain.
Symptoms of Zika Virus
Firstly, death is a very rare outcome of Zika virus, but it's more likely in babies depending on how under-developed their body is when born. If the brain is so under-developed it cannot function the body correctly then death may occur. It should also be known that only 1 in 5 people carrying the disease will show one or more of the following symptoms:
- Redness of the eye with Conjunctivitis-like symptoms
- Mild fever and headaches
- Pain in the elbows, knees, and other joints
- A rash appearing on the skin
Avoiding the Zika Virus
With the virus becoming a public health emergency it has been categorized with the same importance as Ebola.
Zika is transmitted through infected mosquitos in the same manner as Dengue – keeping well covered and avoiding areas where stagnant water is prominent will help reduce the risk of infection.
Treating those infected with the Zika Virus
Like Ebola, there is no medicine available to cure the infection, at this time anyone believed to be infected with Zika is being advised to rest and drink plenty of fluids.
It's also a possibility to take painkillers to help relieve the discomfort of the fever and any pain in the body – however, it is vital to avoid aspirin based drugs until Dengue has been ruled out. Also, where possible, avoiding pregnancy will ensure that any infected mothers-to-be do not allow the virus to spread to the womb and affect the growth of their unborn baby.

Cork bewildered by Dublin fightback
Dramatic second-half resurgence reveals formidable 'mental resolve' and character
Dublin's Michael Darragh Macauley scores his side's first goal during yesterday's Allianz Football League Division One semi-final at Croke Park. Photograph: Inpho
So maybe this is the way it's going to be: A summer of watching Dublin find new and interesting ways to back themselves into corners, all as mere pretext to great reveal after great reveal.
Tie their hands, bind their ankles, check the padlock to make sure it's secure – then sit back and watch them wriggle free.
It shouldn't have been a final whistle that sounded here yesterday as they alakazamed their way to a league final date with Derry in a couple of weeks. No, this one deserved nothing less than a Ta-Dah! This was standing ovation stuff for the 28,903 here to see it, a routine that called for flowers to be chucked from the seats and boxes. But they won't mind having to make do with the bodhráns and bowsies from the Hill. They won't mind it at all.
Let's get the maths out of the way before we run the rule over the magic. When Daniel Goulding drilled the second point of the second half on 37 minutes, Cork went 2-11 to 0-7 ahead. Not only were they worth every inch of their lead, Dublin's day was more than justly reflected in the weight of their deficit.
Slow starters
A couple of Cork goals inside the opening eight minutes had dropped an anvil on Dublin's head and the way they started the second half did nothing to suggest the fog might clear anytime soon.
And yet it did. They went from being 10 points down three minutes after the break to winning by seven in the end. They outscored Cork in the second half by 2-13 to 0-4. Cork scored one point in the closing half hour; Dublin scored 1-13. It doesn't make sense. But then, the David Copperfields of this world don't have to. All that matters is that by the end, you're on your feet calling for more.
"They demonstrate [character] day in and day out when we are with them," said Jim Gavin afterwards. "We would have seen that mental resolve last year as well in a lot of the games, so it is pleasing to see it is still there and that they can tap into it. But on a technical level and a tactical level, the lack of consistency is an area that we really need to work on."
It's been the story of their league. First night out against Kerry, they scored five of the last six points to win by one. Second day against Westmeath, they trailed with 15 to go before scoring seven of the last nine. Against Mayo, it was two goals in injury-time to thieve a draw. Against Tyrone, it was Diarmuid Connolly's point from the ends of the earth with the clock running dead. Here, it was a 17-point turnaround inside a single half.
They don't know when they're beaten. The flip side of which, of course, is that their opposition can't know when they've won. Cork were fluid and accurate in a conscientious kind of way in that first half, taking care with their shot selection and profiting from their precision. They pushed right up on Stephen Cluxton's kick-outs and often had the Dublin fullback all of a flutter.
Brian Hurley scored five points from play before the break, Colm O'Neill continued his comeback with another 1-1 to bring his total for a league in which he hasn't once played a full game to 3-10. Dublin were spraying wides and only Alan Brogan of their big guns was finding a way to insinuate himself into the game. Cork looked like they wanted to get to a league final. Dublin looked like the very thought offended them.
"I thought we played very, very well in the first half," said Brian Cuthbert. "I thought we controlled the game very well. Everything we set out to do seemed to be working ad going in at half-time we seemed to be in a very good place. The score line would have suggested the same but it was more than that, I felt we were controlling the tempo of the game which is very important against Dublin."
They used to say that often when you're watching Paul Daniels, you really should be keeping an eye on Debbie McGee. When Cork went those 10 points ahead early in the second half, the last place they would have thought trouble might brew would have been in the hands of corner-back Philly McMahon.
Come-back kid
Yet it was his lung-burst scamper into the Dublin forward line that started the comeback, a wild shot cannoning down off the upright into the hands of Michael Darragh Macauley for the 2013 Footballer of the Year to bulge the net.
Dublin, now only seven behind, got Bernard Brogan on to the pitch for his first involvement since the All-Ireland final and all of a sudden they were a force again.
For all their rescue acts, at no stage during this league have Dublin looked like the team that swept to the All-Ireland. They did now.
Macauley started to lord midfield, Connolly and Paul Flynn oozed physicality and class. Eoghan O'Gara was untouchable inside, Brogan likewise. McMahon kept sallying forward from the back, sometimes with Jonny Cooper in tow. They reeled off point after point and left Cork choking in their dust.
"Dublin were down 10 points at one stage there and then we made a mistake," lamented Cuthbert. "We gave them a goal, gave them momentum and I would have felt after that we couldn't get the ball past midfield.
"We were kicking the ball back out to them, they were breaking it back forward and we were not picking up the breaks.
"It was wave after wave of attack, they had momentum, they could smell the chance that they had."
Not for the first time, Jim Gavin's side pursued that chance with extreme prejudice. Can't imagine it will be the last, either.
What fun it is to watch them pick the padlock and make good their escape.

Design Without Baggage
Designers always talk about being open at the start of projects, entering into the process without preconceived ideas or forms. They claim that their brains are sticky blank slates awaiting any and all good ideas. Today it's fashionable to claim that you wouldn't dare even begin sketching a form, however provisional (even on a cocktail napkin like Frank Gehry), without first exhausting all avenues of research. "It's about looking at the problem with a sort of child-like wonder," they might say about the precious formulation of their ideas. "It's about not being afraid to ask the dumb question." And you think: so why do your buildings (or chairs or books) always look the same? Is it just a coincidence that all your dumb questions lead to roughly the same result?
OK, I'm being a bit unfair here…but only a little, since all designers have a process, an approach to the blank slate. And once they've developed it, through education and experience, it becomes a kind of survival tool: how else would you juggle five or six or ten projects simultaneously? So much for wide-eyed innocence!
All of this is a round-about why of explaining why I think the "Tools At Schools" exhibit (http://www.tools-at-schools.com/)–a collaboration between Bernhardt Design, Aruliden (a New York industrial design firm), and the School at Columbia University (a K-8 institution)—was such a sensation yesterday at the opening of the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, in New York. The project produced a simple and elegant schoolroom desk and chair, along with a set of lockers — designed collaboratively with a group of eighth-graders. The crowds responded to the representation of the kids, of course, but to something else as well: the purity of expression that could only come from a smart group of 14-year olds asking the right dumb questions.
Great credit should go to Johan Linden and his colleagues at Aruliden, along with Jerry Helling and the people at Bernhardt. They clearly gave the students the correct amount of help and direction without compromising the authenticity of their voice, which was fresh and clean: without guile, without a shred of calculation, without an aesthetic agenda or the overwhelming need to create an Artistic Statement. The designers—all forty-four of them—simply wanted to solve a problem they knew a lot about. Maybe there's a lesson here for designers.

My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for United States Wolf Refuge and Adoption Center, Sparks, NV, USA
I saw Bill from time to time at pet festivals and Earth day, but got to know him when he gave a moving and informational presentation on wolves at the local Nevada Humane Society. I volunteered to work at the Refuge. The Refuge is in a gorgeous, remote mountain setting. Wolves have different sized enclosures. Some have partners, others don't. The Refuge is well-organized with a thorough orientation for volunteers. They know each wolf as an individual -- behavior, likes and dislikes, history. So with some you go right into the enclosure to clean up, give water and food. With others, you need assistance. The schedule allows some wolves to run in a larger enclosure most visits, so they get exercise and play time. Bill, who has become a dear friend, has given his life to his animals. He will travel anywhere to pick up a wolf in need. He also provides much-needed education on these beautiful creatures who are so disastrously misunderstood. Each one is precious to him. He works long hours doing all the maintainence chores. He has a corps of volunteers, but still works long hours himself. Bill gives so generously of his support for other animal advocacy issues in the community; he is a role model for us. The Refuge needs and deserves more funds for upkeep. Drive down the winding trail and you will be greeted or sent off by a chorus of howls -- the primeval wolf howl -- This is an animal rescue with heart, caring and soul. It is unlike any other. Please give them your support.

Review for Born Free USA , Silver Spring, MD, USA
You don't have a category for Related Organization and you should have because that's my connection to Born Free USA. As Director of TrailSafe Nevada, a statewide grassroots group lobbying for better trap regulation, I called on Born Free USA, the national group devoted to the trapping and fur trade issue, for help. A Senior Program Associate traveled to Nevada and stayed two days. She helped me lobby, she gave me expert advice on lobbying and on writing my proposals, she testified for us at our Legislative hearing. Our bill was heavily amended, but did survive, so now we have a law requiring our Wildlife Commission to regulate trapping in our most congested areas. Born Free USA are high on the list of those who helped make it happen.
The Program Associate continues to help me with tactics and strategy, with model laws from other states, and prompt answers to questions that come up. She is more than generous with her assistance. She also circulates our notices to her mailing list, thereby reaching thousands with our news and messages.
I could not ask for a more responsive, informed, expert, caring organization than Born Free USA.

This thesis is focused upon chemistry as a school subject and students' interpretations and use of formally introduced teaching models. To explore students' developing repertoire of chemical models, a longitudinal interview study was undertaken spanning the first year of upper secondary school chemistry. Matter in its different states was selected as the target framework for this study. The results presented are derived from both generalisations of groups of students as well as a case study describing an individual learner's interpretation of formal content. The results obtained demonstrated that the formal teaching models provided to the students included in this study were not sufficient to afford them a coherent framework of matter in its different states or for chemical bonding. Instead, students' expressed models of matter and phase change were to a high degree dependent on electron movement (Paper I), anthropomorphism (Paper II) and, for one student, a mechanistic approach based on small particles and gravitation (Paper III). The results from this study place focus on the importance of learners' prior learning (previous experiences) and the need to develop a coherent framework of formal teaching models for the nature of matter and phase change.
The results presented here derive from a research project exploring 16-18 year old
Swedish upper secondary science students' developing understandings of key
concepts for matter and phase change. In the Swedish educational context there is
limited prescription of what is taught at different grade levels, and students may only
meet scientific models of the submicroscopic structure of the matter some years after
considering the phenomena that these models have been developed to explain.
Students may develop alternative and sometimes idiosyncratic imaginative notions to
populate this 'explanatory vacuum'. In this study we discuss one aspect of student
responses in a sequence of semi-structured interviews spread over a single school
year, viz. the common use of anthropomorphic language in student descriptions and
explanations of basic chemical phenomena – change of state, chemical bonding and
reactions. Such anthropomorphic language has been considered to have the potential
either to facilitate or impede progression in students' learning in chemistry. In the
present study we found a high level of anthropomorphic language in students'
explanations. In some cases there were clear indications that our interviewees were
aware of the limitation of their anthropomorphic explanations, which could be
considered to take the role of temporary place-holder for technical ideas not yet
available. However, in many other instances anthropomorphism was used without any
indication of its limited explanatory power. In these circumstances anthropomorphic
explanations would appear to satisfy epistemic hunger, the human "need to 'make
meaning' and understand their surroundings" (De Jesus, Teixeira-Dias, & Watts,
2003, p. 1017), and take the place of canonical explanations.
The results presented here derive from a longitudinal study of Swedish upper secondary science students' (16-19 years of age) developing understanding of key chemical concepts. The informants were 18 students from two different schools. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mental models of matter at the particulate level that learners develop. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews based around the students' own drawings of the atom, and of solids, liquids, and gases. The interview transcripts were analysed to identify patterns in the data that offer insight into aspects of student understanding. The findings are discussed in the specific curriculum context in Swedish schools. Results indicate that the teaching model of the atom (derived from Bohr's model) commonly presented by teachers and textbook authors in Sweden gives the students an image of a disproportionately large and immobile nucleus, emphasises a planetary model of the atom and gives rise to a chain of logic leading to immobility in the solid state and molecular breakdown during phase transitions. The findings indicate that changes in teaching approaches are required to better support learners in developing mental models that reflect the intended target knowledge.

Subject: Submitted UFO Sighting Report
LOCATION : Dartmouth, Nova Scotia,
DATE-Sighting : Feb 24th-The present
TIME-Sighting : 8:00-10:00pm
This is your Submitted
Sighting Report :
i have had several sightings of a flying triangle. The first
was when my dad and I were in our car on a semi crowded street
at about 6:45 and it was pitch black out and we saw an abject
with 3 white lights in the shape of a triangle with a red
blinking light in the middle. We live near an Air Force Base
and Halifax International Airport and this wasn't like
anything that has ever flown around here.
The next sighting was on February 24th. Here we go:
6:20pm-My friend says he saw a blue diamond flying fast
across the sky. We go up my street (which is a hill) and
instead see an orange object hovering around trees about
30 miles away 8:10pm- 3 white lights in the shape of a
triangle with a red blinking light in the middle flies
silently NE Since that say I have seen the triangle about
25 times but recently the white lights are always orange.
I took 8 pics of 1 and when I finish the roll and get it
developed I'll scan the pics.
If anyone would like me to send them the scanned pics e-mail
