Good luck! -- Herby talk thyme 08:01, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Name change
Noticing the change you made (which looks fine) I wondered what you wanted to do with Finance/Contributors and indeed Finance/To do. Thanks and regards -- Herby talk thyme 08:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem - happy to help -- Herby talk thyme 09:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Basically, as the editor, your decision, I don't see leaving the redirects as an issue but I'm happy to "tidy" if you want me too. For your information deletion templates are here so you can mark pages if your plans change or you find you have a redundant page.  Regards -- Herby  talk thyme 09:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Venky - I need some more info to begin to help you on this. What "bi" template and what info box? Main question would be is it due to the renaming? (So it is still pointing to Finance?).
 * reset

This bit is my mistake - assuming you want the pages deleted the template that you need is Not required now or your reason. The one you have used is intended for use on frequently recreated vandal pages!

By the way, user boxes are usually placed on the user page rather than the user talk page. Thanks -- Herby talk thyme 16:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * OK - the speedy deletes were done just fine and I have deleted them. I am puzzled on the bi template and infobox issue - I'm not sure I'm understanding what you are trying to do.  Infobox/Principles of Finance is there and looks ok?

 * Could you take a look at your "signature" - this is not a big issue but it allows folk to get to your page easily. If you go to "my preferences" (top row if you are using the default monobook config) you can fill in the nickname there which will show as your signature (me - I always copy what is around and then edit it to be the way I want it!) - take a look at the sigs that are around & you'll work it out (if it is "fancy" you will need to check the "raw signatures" box).  Ask again if you need help tho - regards -- Herby  talk thyme 10:35, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Sig
Took me a while if it helps!! You should be able to work something out from my sig (or those of others around - just "edit" anything with an interesting sig, remembering to "cancel" rather than save). The bi one I'll take some time and look at - it will be tomorrow now, if you are in more of a hurry the Staff lounge should get you help quicker. Regards -- Herby talk thyme 13:56, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Infobox
Hi Venky - did you look at Infobox - as far as I can see the box for your book looks like it is doing what it should? -- Herby talk thyme 11:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

JET Database/Creating and connecting

Creating a JET database
There are many ways to create a JET database, a few of which are addressed below. How a database is created should not matter, except that the engine type of the database defines what JET SQL capabilities will be available.

Creating from Access
By far, the easiest way to create a new JET database is to use Microsoft Access.

 * 1) Start Microsoft Access
 * 2) From the menu, select   or press
 * 3) Select "Blank database"
 * 4) Navigate to where you want to save your database in the filesystem, and give it a name

You can then use the various database and security utilities to set things like the engine type, encryption, optional system database, and users / passwords.

Creating from ODBC
An empty JET database can be created from Windows by creating a new ODBC DSN (Data Source Name) and creating the database from the ODBC connection window.

Start the ODBC Data Sources applet from the Windows Control Panel, and click Add to make a new DSN. You should see a screen like the one on the right. Select the driver for Microsoft Access, and click Finish. You should be presented with a screen for configuring a new Microsoft Access DSN, like the one on the right. Click the Create button, to get the New Database window up. You should now see the New Database window. Navigate to where you want to put your JET database, enter a name, and choose any special options like engine type (Format), encryption, and whether to have a separate system database, then click OK to create your database. You can now cancel out of the ODBC Data Sources applet without making the new DSN if you like, as you probably want to connect to it via OLE-DB anyway!

Creating from ADOX
Visual Basic code for creating a JET 4.0 compatible database:

Compacting a JET database
JET databases do not reuse space released by deleting old data. This leads to databases growing in size over time, and can lead to performance problems or even failures if the database grows too large. To overcome this, a database needs to be compacted periodically, to remove the unused space and reduce the file size.

Compacting from Access
The easiest way to compact a JET database is to open it in Microsoft Access and perform an operation called Compact and Repair Database, found under the Tools menu. However, this may not be possible if the database is located remotely and is not accessible via the Windows filesystem.

Compacting with JRO
The JET runtime system is distributed with a component library called JET Replication Objects (JRO). The following Visual Basic code uses JRO to compact a JET database:

Connecting from ADO
When connecting to a database from ADO, one can connect using the JET OLE-DB provider or an ODBC DSN (Data Source Name). This section addresses using the OLE-DB provider, since that is the most efficient mechanism and allows greater capabilities than the ODBC DSN path.

Connections via the JET OLE-DB provider require information about the database to be passed in the OLE-DB connection string. If the database has a System database, or uses a database-level password, then this information must be provided in the connection string.

The following Visual Basic code demonstrates connecting to a JET database from ADO, using a username and password:

The following Visual Basic code demonstrates connecting to a JET database from ADO, using a database-level password:

The following Visual Basic code demonstrates connecting to a JET database with System database from ADO, using a username and password:

DAO vs SQL
JET engine versions up to JET 3.0 had limited support for database object creation using SQL statements, whilst full support was available via DAO. However, since JET 4.0, the JET SQL language allows support for most (if not all) database object attributes. Some design tools, however, have not been updated to reflect this and still use DAO (usually via ODBC) to make alterations to the database.

Horticulture/Bamboo

Bamboos are a group of woody perennial evergreen plants in the true grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Some of its members are giants, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. There are 91 genera and about 1,000 species of bamboo. They are found in diverse climates, from cold mountains to hot tropical regions. They occur from Northeast Asia (at 50°N latitude in Sakhalin), south throughout East Asia west to the Himalaya, and south to northern Australia. They also occur in sub-Saharan Africa, and in the Americas from the southeast of the USA south to Chile, there reaching their furthest south anywhere, at 47°S latitude. Major areas with no native bamboos include Europe, north Africa, western Asia, northern North America, most of Australia, and Antarctica.

Bamboo's long life makes it a Chinese symbol of longevity, while in India it is a symbol of friendship. However, the rarity of its blossoming has led to the flowers' being regarded as a sign of impending famine. This may be due to rats feeding upon the profusion of flowers, then multiplying and destroying a large part of the local food supply. The most recent flowering began in May, 2006 (see Mautam). Bamboo is said to bloom in this manner only about every 50 years (see 28-60 year examples in 'gregarious' species table)

In Chinese culture, the bamboo (zhú 竹), plum blossom (méi 梅), orchid (lán 蘭), and chrysanthemum (jú 菊) (usually, méi lán zhú jú 梅蘭竹菊) are collectively referred to as the Four Noble Ones (四君子). These four plants also represent the four seasons and, in Confucian ideology, four aspects of the junzi (君子 "prince" or "noble one"). The pine tree (松), the bamboo, and the plum blossom (sōng zhú méi 松竹梅) are also admired for their perseverance under harsh conditions, and are together known as the "Three Friends in Winter" (歲寒三友).

In Japan, a bamboo forest sometimes surrounds a Shinto shrine as part of a sacred barrier against evil. Also, bamboo (také 竹) indicates something of the second rank, (as a sushi set or accommodations at a traditional Ryokan (inn)). This comes from the Chinese phrase 松竹梅 (in Japanese, sho-chiku-bai), where pine (matsu 松) is of the first rank, and plum (ume 梅) is of the third.

A Vietnamese proverb says: "When the bamboo is old, the bamboo sprouts appear", the meaning being Vietnam will never be annihilated; if the previous generation dies, as the children take their place. Therefore the Vietnamese tradition will be maintained and developed eternally.

Several Asian cultures, including that of the Andaman Islands, believe that humanity emerged from a bamboo stem. In the Philippine creation myth, legend tells that the first man and the first woman were split open from a bamboo stem that emerged on an island created after the battle of the elemental forces(Sky and Ocean). In Malaysian legends a similar story includes a man who dreams of a beautiful woman while sleeping under a bamboo plant; he wakes up and breaks the bamboo stem, discovering the woman inside. The Japanese folktale "Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" (Taketori Monogatari) tells of a princess from the Moon emerging from a shining bamboo section. Hawaiian bamboo ('ohe) is a kinolau or body form of the Polynesian creator god Kane.

An ancient Vietnamese legend tells of a poor, young farmer who fell in love with his landlord's beautiful daughter. The farmer asked the landlord for his daughter's hand in marriage, but the proud landlord would not allow her to be bound in marriage to a poor farmer. The landlord decided to foil the marriage with an impossible deal; the farmer must bring him a "bamboo tree of one-hundred sections". The benevolent god Bụt appeared to the farmer and told him that such a tree could be made from one-hundred sections from several different trees. Bụt gave to him four magic words to attach the many sections of bamboo: "Khắc nhập, khắc xuất", which means "put in immediately, take out immediately". The triumphant farmer returned to the landlord and demanded his daughter. The story ends with the happy marriage of the farmer and the landlord's daughter.

Description
The stems, or 'culms', can range in height from a few centimetres to 40 metres, with stem diameters ranging from 1 mm to 30 cm. The stems are jointed, with regular nodes; each node bears one side bud (three in Chusquea). These buds do not necessarily develop (especially in lower portions of the culm of tall bamboos) but are present. Buds that do develop ramify quickly with very short basal internodes into a cluster of several shoots, which usually develop into branches and occasionally into adventitious rhizomes. Branchlets form from the branches, and leaves grow off the branchlets. They are thus, unlike most other grasses, extensively branched; in large-growing species a single stem may carry many thousands of branchlets.

Although bamboo is a grass, many of the larger bamboos are very tree-like in appearance and they are sometimes called "bamboo trees". The reason bamboos are so different from trees is they lack a vascular cambium layer and meristem cells at the top of the culm. The vascular cambium is the perpetually growing layer of a tree's trunk beneath the bark that makes it increase in diameter each year. The meristems make the tree grow taller.

A single culm (stem) of bamboo from an established rhizome (root) system reaches full height in one growing season, but then persists for several years, gradually increasing the number of side branches and branchlets, but growing neither broader nor taller.

Some species of bamboo rarely flower, some of them only every 28–120 years. Some of these species are monocarpic, the plant dying after the seed matures. Furthermore, all the individuals of the species flower at the same time in a large geographical region. This trait is thought to have evolved because it reduces the effect of predators of the seed, since they are less likely to be able to wipe out the seed production, and cannot depend on bamboo as a food supply between flowerings.

Established bamboo will send up shoots that generally grow to their full height in a single season, making it the fastest growing woody plant. Several subtropical bamboo species can grow 30 cm (1 foot) per day, with some species having been documented as growing over 100 cm in one day. For the species most widely cultivated in gardens, 3–5 cm per day is more typical. A newly transplanted bamboo plant can take 1–2 years before it sends up new shoots (culms) and will have many seasons of "sizing up" before new shoots achieve the maximum potential height for that species.

Many bamboos are popular in cultivation as garden plants. In cultivation, care needs to be taken of their potential for invasive behaviour. They spread mainly through their roots and/or rhizomes, which can spread widely underground and send off new culms to break through the surface. There are two patterns for the spreading of bamboo, "clumping" (monopodial) and "running" (sympodial). Clumping bamboo species tend to spread underground slowly. Swimming bamboo species are highly variable in their tendency to spread; this is related to both the species and the soil and climate conditions. Some can send out runners several metres a year, while others can stay in the same general area for long periods. If neglected, they can be invasive over time and can cause problems by moving into adjacent areas. The reputation of bamboo as being highly invasive is often exaggerated, and situations where it has taken over large areas is often the result of years of untended or neglected plantings.

Once established as a grove, it is difficult to completely remove bamboo without digging up the entire network of underground rhizomes. If bamboo must be removed, an alternative to digging it up is to cut down the culms, and then repeatedly mow down new shoots as they arise, until the root system exhausts its energy supply and dies. If any leaves are allowed to photosynthesize the bamboo survives and will keep spreading.

There are two main ways to prevent the spread of running bamboo into adjacent areas. The first method is rhizome pruning or "edging", which involves removing any rhizomes escaping the desired bamboo area. Hooks, shovels and picks are usual tools. The rhizomes are generally very close to the surface(just under a sod layer), so, if rhizome pruning is done twice a year, it will sever most, if not all, of the new growth. Some species may be deep running (beyond typical spade depth). These are much harder to control and deeper cuts will need to be made. Regular maintenance will indicate major growth directions and locations. Once the rhizomes are cut they should be removed. If any bamboo shoots come up outside of the bamboo area afterwards their presence indicates the precise location of the missed rhizome. The fibrous roots that radiate from the rhizomes do not grow up to be more bamboo so they stay in the ground.

The second way is by surrounding it with a physical barrier. Concrete and specially rolled HDPE plastic are usual materials. This is placed in a 60–90 cm (2–3 feet) deep ditch around the planting, and angled out at the top to direct the rhizomes to the surface. Strong rhizomes and tools can penetrate plastic barriers with relative ease, so great care must be taken. Bamboo in barriers is much more difficult to remove than free-spreading bamboo. Barriers and edging are unnecessary for clump forming bamboos. Clump forming bamboos may eventually need to have portions taken out if they get too large.

Uses
The shoots (new bamboo culms that come out of the ground) of bamboo, called zhú sǔn (simplified: 竹笋; traditional: 竹筍) or simply sǔn in Chinese, are edible. They are used in Asian stir fry, and are available in supermarkets in various sliced forms. Bamboo shoot tips are called zhú sǔn jiān (竹笋尖) or zhú jiān (笋尖).

In Indonesia they are sliced thinly and then boiled with santan (thick coconut milk) and spices to make a dish named gulai rebung. Other recipes using bamboo shoots are : sayur lodeh (mixed vegetables in coconut milk) and lun pia (sometimes written lumpia; fried wrapped bamboo shoots with vegetables). Note that the shoots of some species contain toxins that need to be leached or boiled out before they can be eaten safely.

Pickled bamboo, used as a condiment, may also be made from the pith of the young shoots. The sap of young stalks tapped during the rainy season may be fermented to make ulanzi (a sweet wine), or simply made into a soft drink. Zhúyèqīng jiǔ (竹葉青酒) is a green-coloured Chinese liquor that has bamboo leaves as one of its ingredients.

Bamboo leaves are also used as wrappers for zongzi, a steamed dumpling typical of southern China, which usually contains glutinous rice and other ingredients.

When treated, bamboo forms a very hard wood which is both light and exceptionally tough. In tropical climates it is used in elements of house construction, as well as for fences, bridges, toilets, walking sticks, canoes, drinkware, furniture, chopsticks, food steamers, toys, construction scaffolding, as a substitute for steel reinforcing rods in concrete construction, hats, martial arts weaponry, abaci and various musical instruments such as the dizi, xiao, shakuhachi, palendag, jinghu, and angklung. The Bamboo Organ of Las Pinas, Philippines has pipes made of bamboo culms. When bamboo is harvested for wood, care is needed to select mature stems that are several years old, as first-year stems, although full size, are not fully woody and are not strong.

Bamboo is also widely carved for decorative artwork. Modern companies are attempting to popularize bamboo flooring made of bamboo pieces steamed, flattened, glued together, finished, and cut. However, bamboo wood is easily infested by wood-boring insects unless treated with wood preservatives or kept very dry (see carving, right).

Bamboo canes are normally round in cross-section, but square canes can be produced by forcing the new young culms to grow through a tube of square cross-section slightly smaller than the culm's natural diameter, thereby constricting the growth to the shape of the tube. Every few days the tube is removed and replaced higher up the fast-growing culm.

The fibre of bamboo has been used to make paper in China since early times. A high quality hand-made paper is still produced in small quantities. Coarse bamboo paper is still used to make spirit money in many Chinese communities.

The wood is used for knitting needles and the fibre can be used for yarn and fabrics. Bamboo fabric is notable for its soft feel and natural antibacterial propertiesTemplate:Cn. Clothing made from bamboo fibre is popular for activities such as yoga. Bed sheets and towels made from bamboo have become luxury items. Sharpened bamboo is also traditionally used to tattoo in Japan, Hawaii and elsewhere.

Bamboo is also used as a shank extension on smoking pipes. Often a bamboo shank is added as a repair when a shank is cracked with use or to repair a flaw during manufacture.

A variety of bamboo was one of about two dozen plants carried by Polynesian voyagers to provide all their needs settling new islands; in the Hawaiian Islands, among many uses, 'Ohe (bamboo) carried water, made irrigation troughs for taro terraces, was used as a traditional knife for cutting the umbilical cord of a newborn, as a stamp for dyeing bark tapa cloth, and for four hula instruments — nose flute, rattle, stamping pipes and Jew's harp.

Some skateboard & snowboard deck manufacturers are beginning to use bamboo construction. It is both lighter and stronger than traditional materials and its cultivation is environmentally friendly. Bamboo is also used to make enclosures in fish farming, where cages can be made from a wooden frame and bamboo lattices.

Propagation
bamboo can be propagated vegetatively by, root divisions, single node cuttings and air layering. there has been some success with tissue culture. digging up a section of a clump and severing one mother culm with new rimose pup attached assures a high success rate. this is labor intensive.

Shoots
Bamboo shoots are harvested in a similar manner to ../Asparagus/, cut just where they ome off the underground stem (stolon).

Culms
Bamboo culms are suitable for structural use after they are at least one year old, strengthening with each passing year.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jtk. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jtk~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Fedora And Red Hat System Administration/Shell Basics

From the moment you connect to an SSH session, log into a text console, or open a terminal from a graphical environment, you are interacting with a shell program. To describe it simply, the shell provides your command line. It receives the commands you type and runs programs as needed to service those commands.

Bash, the most popular shell for GNU/Linux systems, is built on ideas going back to the original UNIX shell, the Borne Shell. While the Borne shell was revolutionary for its day, it is rather clunky by today's standards. Concepts like command line editing, command history and job control evolved later in other shells that sought to replace the original Borne shell such as the C shell and the Korn Shell. While these features greatly enhanced shell usability, they also came at the price of breaking compatibility with Borne shell syntax. When the GNU Project designed their shell they chose to implement these new ideas but still maintain compatibility with the original Borne shell. The called their shell the Borne Again Shell, or simply Bash.

The basic ideas for the shell differ little from the original, but command history, commandline editing, and features used in shell scripts are more idiosyncratic.

Running commands from the shell
Commands at the shell take a basic form of:

COMMAND [-OPTIONS]... [ARG]...

(It is common convention to put variables in capitols and square brackets around optional elements. The ellipsis indicates the preceding can be repeated).

The COMMAND can be one of four things:

 * A Program - The shell will search your PATH environment variable for programs named COMMAND. Most programs are in /bin or /usr/bin.  Documentation for commands are usually found in manual pages (Accessed with `man COMMAND')
 * A Shell Built-in - Built-in commands are commands processed directly by the shell such as cd, echo and alias. Documentation for built-ins can be found in the manual page for bash or with the help built-in: `help COMMAND'.
 * An alias - Aliases are processed before the command is run and are replaced by another command, possibly adding options or arguments.
 * A Function - Functions call a sequence of commands and are more often used in shell scripting than on a typical command line.

Example Built-in Commands
Some of the simplest commands are Built-ins. echo for example simply prints the arguments passed to it:

[jtk@athena ~]$ echo Hello, World! Hello, World!

The pwd built-in prints the working directory; cd changes the working directory. (We'll define "working directory" later when we discuss filesystem basics).

[jtk@athena ~]$ pwd /home/jtk [jtk@athena ~]$ cd /usr/share/doc/bash-3.1/ [jtk@athena bash-3.1]$ pwd /usr/share/doc/bash-3.1 [jtk@athena bash-3.1]$ cd [jtk@athena ~]$ pwd /home/jtk

The help built-in provides documentation on built-ins. Without arguments it gives a list of built-ins. With Arguments, help can provide details on a particular built-in command:

[jtk@athena ~]$ help GNU bash, version 3.1.7(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) These shell commands are defined internally. Type `help' to see this list. Type `help name' to find out more about the function `name'. Use `info bash' to find out more about the shell in general. Use `man -k' or `info' to find out more about commands not in this list. A star (*) next to a name means that the command is disabled. JOB_SPEC [&]                      (( expression )) . filename [arguments]            : [ arg... ]                        (( expression )) alias [-p] [name[=value] ... ]    bg [job_spec ...] bind [-lpvsPVS] [-m keymap] [-f fi break [n] builtin [shell-builtin [arg ...]] caller [EXPR] case WORD in [PATTERN [| PATTERN]. cd [-L|-P] [dir] command [-pVv] command [arg ...]  compgen [-abcdefgjksuv] [-o option complete [-abcdefgjksuv] [-pr] [-o continue [n] declare [-afFirtx] [-p] [name[=val dirs [-clpv] [+N] [-N] disown [-h] [-ar] [jobspec ...]   echo [-neE] [arg ...] enable [-pnds] [-a] [-f filename] eval [arg ...] exec [-cl] [-a name] file [redirec exit [n] export [-nf] [name[=value] ...] or false fc [-e ename] [-nlr] [first] [last fg [job_spec] for NAME [in WORDS ... ;] do COMMA for (( exp1; exp2; exp3 )); do COM function NAME { COMMANDS ; } or NA getopts optstring name [arg] hash [-lr] [-p pathname] [-dt] [na help [-s] [pattern ...] history [-c] [-d offset] [n] or hi if COMMANDS; then COMMANDS; [ elif jobs [-lnprs] [jobspec ...] or job kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -si let arg [arg ...]                 local name[=value] ... logout                            popd [+N | -N] [-n] printf [-v var] format [arguments] pushd [dir | +N | -N] [-n] pwd [-LP]                         read [-ers] [-u fd] [-t timeout] [ readonly [-af] [name[=value] ...] return [n] select NAME [in WORDS ... ;] do CO set [--abefhkmnptuvxBCHP] [-o opti shift [n]                         shopt [-pqsu] [-o long-option] opt source filename [arguments]       suspend [-f] test [expr]                       time [-p] PIPELINE times                             trap [-lp] [arg signal_spec ...] true                              type [-afptP] name [name ...] typeset [-afFirtx] [-p] name[=valu ulimit [-SHacdfilmnpqstuvx] [limit umask [-p] [-S] [mode]            unalias [-a] name [name ...] unset [-f] [-v] [name ...]        until COMMANDS; do COMMANDS; done variables - Some variable names an wait [n] while COMMANDS; do COMMANDS; done { COMMANDS ; } [jtk@athena ~]$ help help help: help [-s] [pattern ...] Display helpful information about builtin commands. If PATTERN is    specified, gives detailed help on all commands matching PATTERN, otherwise a list of the builtins is printed. The -s option restricts the output for each builtin command matching PATTERN to    a short usage synopsis. [jtk@athena ~]$ help cd cd: cd [-L|-P] [dir] Change the current directory to DIR. The variable $HOME is the default DIR. The variable CDPATH defines the search path for the directory containing DIR. Alternative directory names in CDPATH are separated by a colon. A null directory name is the same as    the current directory, i.e. `.'. If DIR begins with a slash (/), then CDPATH is not used. If the directory is not found, and the shell option `cdable_vars' is set, then try the word as a variable name. If that variable has a value, then cd to the value of that variable. The -P option says to use the physical directory structure instead of following symbolic links; the -L option forces symbolic links

Example Program Commands
Most commands you'll use are programs. That is, they are a separate program run in a separate process from the bash shell. These programs can be found in a number of locations on the system. The directories searched are specified in the PATH environment variable, but more on that later. Most programs are found in either the /bin or /usr/bin directories and we'll focus on those for now.

If I want to get a listing of files in a directory I would use the ls command. The actual program that runs when you type "ls" is found at /bin/ls. If called without arguments, ls will give a listing of files in the current directory. An argument can be used to tell it which directory to list. Options can be used to tell it how to list the files:

[jtk@athena ~]$ ls bin  Desktop   google-earth  svn [jtk@athena ~]$ ls -l drwxrwxr-x 2 jtk jtk     4096 Dec  1 12:32 bin drwxr-xr-x 8 jtk jtk     4096 Jan 11 13:51 Desktop drwxr-xr-x 9 jtk jtk     4096 Dec 17 22:21 google-earth -rw-r--r-- 1 jtk jtk 16791707 Dec  5 16:43 livejournal.tar.bz2 drwxrwxr-x 2 jtk jtk     4096 Dec  8 13:23 svn [jtk@athena ~]$ ls -lt drwxrwxr-x 2 jtk jtk     4096 Dec  1 12:32 bin -rw-r--r-- 1 jtk jtk 16791707 Dec  5 16:43 livejournal.tar.bz2 drwxrwxr-x 2 jtk jtk     4096 Dec  8 13:23 svn drwxr-xr-x 9 jtk jtk     4096 Dec 17 22:21 google-earth drwxr-xr-x 8 jtk jtk     4096 Jan 11 13:51 Desktop [jtk@athena ~]$ ls /home/ db2inst1 jtk  lost+found [jtk@athena ~]$ ls -l /home/ total 24 drwxr-xr-x 7 db2inst1 db2iadm1  4096 Jul 17  2006 db2inst1 drwx-- 11 jtk     jtk       4096 Feb  2 11:47 jtk drwx-- 2 root     root     16384 Apr 19  2006 lost+found

Notice the option string "-lt". The "l" specifies a "long" listing while the "t" specifies that the entries should be sorted by modification time. These are single character options and could have been specified separately as "-l -t", but they are usually grouped together like this.

It is customary to put options before arguments such as in the command "ls -l /home". With GNU utilities this is optional, but some utilities will complain if any options appear after the same argument. (There is no distinction between option and argument to the shell or the operating system. When the command is executed by the kernel, they are all arguments and it is up to the program to interpret them).

Example Running Command as Root User
If you are a user which is not root and you need to install or run a command which requires admin credentials then just do the following:

[jtk@athena ~]$ su root Enter root password Run the command you want (as root).

It's that's easy.

If you are a user and want to list the IP address of the machine you can use sudo command, for now lets imagine you are allowed to use sudo command

 * 1) sudo /sbin/ifconfig

Similarly you can use sudo to run any superuser command

Revit User's Manual/Construction Documents

Elevations
After modeling, elevations are not yet presentable. Lines will appear between walls and floors, and grade lines may not appear at the elevations. There are other ways to resolve the appearance of elevations, but please consider the following suggestions:

 * If you are using an exterior cladding, make sure your floor sketch lines are on the outside line of the cladding, not the core.
 * Paint the edge of the floor with the same material as your exterior cladding and then join the floors to the walls. Do not join and then paint, as your lines won't disappear. (If you did this, you can sometimes work around it by joining the walls above and below the floor together, and hitting ok when it warns that the objects do not touch one another.)
 * Elevations looks best with the silhouetting turned on. Go into advance model graphics, and override the silhouette lines to Wide Lines.
 * If you don't like some of the lines silhouetting, you can override them with the linework tool and the setting.
 * Make sure your pad (which carves out a hole for your building in the terrain) is drawn to the outside of your cladding. This will ensure that a grade line appears on your elevations.

Piano/Key Signature

The key signature is something that is in music showing what black key(or sometimes white key, for example, E# or Cb) you need to play and that is sharps or flats .It is listed after the Clef. This is to avoid the repetition of accidentals in the score. They are listed on every line of music, which signifies what key the composer has chosen.

There is a key signature for each scale in minor and major scale. There are in total of seven flats and sharps, the flat looks like a "b" and the sharp looks like a "#". There are seven sharps~... F sharp, C sharp, G sharp, D sharp, A sharp, E sharp and B sharp and seven flats~...B flat, E flat, A flat, D flat, G flat, C flat and F flat, that is the order that they are placed on a music sheet on both treble and bass clef. There are two scales that don't have sharps or flats and those are C major and A minor. You can add sharps and flats during the piece that are not already placed at the beginning of the piece.

In order to remove the flat or sharp you need to add a natural, that removes the sharp of flat for one bar and you can add it any where to block or cancel the sharp or flat.

List of key signatures
Here is a complete list of key signatures:

Fedora And Red Hat System Administration/The X Window System

The X window system or X11 is most basic component of the graphical environment. You can find many implementations of X11 including servers for Max OSX and Windows (Please insert recommendations!). Most GNU/Linux distributions now use X.Org's implementation (which forked not too long ago from the XFree86 project).

Graphical Login and GDM
Most functions of your users graphical experience is actually not handled by X, but rather by the Graphical login managers, such as the Gnome Display Manager(GDM). While other display managers exist, Red Hat and fedora based systems use the Gnome Display Manager as the login manager for their systems.

The X command
In comparison to Graphical Managers such as GDM, "X" contains extremely minimal functionality on its own, but each graphical display manager is actually built atop X, and thus X is important to understand in its own right.

The 'X' window system is:
 * a client-server application
 * 1) The client is the application using the X-window
 * 2) The server controls the keyboard and screen and takes signals from the application and responds with output to display on the screen
 * A protocol used by the application to connect to the server
 * the 'X' protocol, also known as X11

To start X, one has

CAT-Tools/DéjàVu X/Freeze during launch

Freeze during launch

Added: --Loek van Kooten 19:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Version: 7.0.284

System: Windows XP SP2

Description: When launching DVX, the software sometimes gets stuck at the splash screen, mostly during the "Initializing engine objects" phase, but sometimes later. The running instance of DVX cannot be closed via Task Manager, and as long as said instance is running, no new instance of DVX can be started. The only way to end the running instance seems to be a restart of the system, which can take up to 10 minutes because Windows fails to timely close the running instance.

Description: Same as above, but then after clicking the Help - About Deja Vu X option.

Reproduction: This issue could be reproduced easily on at least two systems, both using USB dongles and a recent (as of 2007) ASUS motherboard.

Workaround: When DVX freezes, disconnect the USB dongle. The launch should continue and DVX should start in demo mode. Close DVX, reconnect the dongle and try again.

Status:

Cannot be solved directly by Atril Software. Atril Software will need to contact third party dongle driver.

3. Auto-propagate

Added: --Loek van Kooten 18:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC)<

Version: 7.0.284

System: Windows XP SP2

Description: DVX gets confused by number conversion issues in translations from Japanese and therefore copies numbers of auto-propagated strings straight away without actually checking whether the numbers in the auto-propagated 'copy' are equal to the numbers in the auto-propagated 'original'.

Example:

平成19年2月2日 (The year Heisei 19, 2nd month, 2nd day) is translated as February 2, 2007

平成19年1月1日 (The year Heisei 19, 1st month, 1st day) is auto-propagated as February 2, 2007 (it should be January 1st 2007)

While it is understandable that DVX cannot come up with the right translation for the auto-propagated copy, the danger lies in the fact that DVX marks the copy as auto-propagated while in fact the source text is different. Turning auto-propagation off is the other extreme, as that also cancels auto-propagation of strings that would otherwise be propagated correctly.

Solution: DVX should not auto-propagate strings if a) the source text is Japanese AND b) numbers in the auto-propagated copy are not equal to numbers in the auto-propagated original. Reproduction:

4. Import from Microsoft Word

Added: --Loek van Kooten 15:54, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Version: 7.0.284

System: Windows XP SP2

Description: After importing Japanese Word documents, the text in DVX is infested with rogue codes. Japanese often features both Chinese ideograms (kanji) and the Roman alphabet/Arabic numerals. Since standard Roman alphabet/Arabic numerals in Japanese fonts are quite ugly, most Japanese texts in Word use two different fonts (one for kanji and one for the Roman alphabet/Arabic numerals), which are constantly alternated. Each alternation results in a rogue code.

The problem is that if the target text is a western language, these rogue codes make no sense at all, as the target text will not feature kanji and is therefore written in one font (the font used for the Roman alphabet/Arabic numerals). I.e. these rogue codes are completely superfluous in the target text, slow down the translation process and pollute your databases.

When translating from Japanese to a western language, DVX should therefore ignore all font changes and opt for a standard font instead (like Arial, or maybe even user-defined). Automatic recognition of the fonts used in the Japanese source text seems very complicated, as "font sets" (consisting of a Japanese and a Roman font) might be used and "paired" inconsistently.

It seems many rogue codes are actually not caused by alternating fonts, but by alternating code sets, as even Word documents that have been forced to use one font give inconsistent rogue codes in DVX:

{\loch\af25\hich\af25\dbch\af25 \loch\af25\hich\af25\dbch\f25 平成}{\loch\af25\hich\af25\dbch\af25 \hich\af25\dbch\af25\loch\f25 18年12月19日}

instead of merely 平成18年12月19日

The rogue codes are inconsistent: if a code appears behind 平成 (Japanese changes from kanji to Arabic numerals), you'd expect a similar code behind 年, 月 or 日, but this is not the case. Reproduction:

CAT-Tools/DéjàVu X/Dongle not detected

Added: Unknown

Reported by: Unknown user.

Version: Unknown

System: Unknown

Description: The USB dongle is not detected by Déjà Vu, even though it is plugged in the computer.

Reproduction: Can the issue be reproduced? Can it be reproduced on different systems? This is very important to establish a pattern.

Workaround:

 * 1) Disconnect your dongle.
 * 2) Click on the menu option Start->Run, and in the ensuing textbox type: "C:\Program Files\ATRIL\Deja Vu X\Dongle\setupdrv.exe" /u +
 * 3) Reboot.
 * 4) Download the dongle driver installer from here.
 * 5) Extract the installer, and copy it to this folder: "C:\Program Files\ATRIL\Deja Vu X\Dongle\" +
 * 6) Install the drivers. To do so, open Start menu, click on Run and enter and execute the following line for USB dongle:
 * 7) "C:\Program Files\ATRIL\Deja Vu X\Dongle\setupdrv.exe" +
 * 8) Or this line for a parallel port dongle: "C:\Program Files\ATRIL\Deja Vu X\Dongle\setupdrv.exe" /par +
 * 9) Reboot again.
 * 10) Connect your dongle.
 * 11) The New Hardware Wizard will appear as soon as Windows detects the dongle. Follow it instructions, and, when this is done, the dongle drivers will be installed.

+ In the case of DV3, the path to the installer will be "C:\Program Files\DejaVu\Setupdrv.exe".

If Déjà Vu continues to run in demo mode, run ddlook.exe (located in your Déjà Vu folder) and send to support@atril.com what this program reports, including any extended error messages.

Status:

Cannot be solved directly by Atril Software. Atril Software will need to contact third party dongle driver.

CAT-Tools/DéjàVu X/What patches exist for DVX?

Currently known patches for DVX build 284: Engine patches: http://www.atril.com/dvx/builds/284/dvxEngine.zip http://www.atril.com/dvx/builds/284/dvxEngine.2.zip http://www.atril.com/dvx/builds/284/dvxEngine.3.zip http://www.atril.com/dvx/builds/284/dvxEngine.4.zip http://www.atril.com/dvx/builds/284/dvxEngine.5.zip http://www.atril.com/dvx/builds/284/dvxEngine.6.zip http://www.atril.com/dvx/builds/284/dvxEngine.7.zip http://www.atril.com/dvx/builds/284/dvxEngine.8.zip

The zip files contain a replacement dvxengine.dll file. Install it by locating the file (usually found in the folder "C:\Program Files\ATRIL\Deja Vu X") and overwriting it with the one in the downloaded zip file. You may want to save a backup copy of the old .dll.

Patches from 3 and upwards reportedly address specific problems and were not meant for public use. There is no official information about what problems they address.

Patch 2 should reportedly solve or alleviate certain assembly problems. It's not perfect, but seems to improve things. If you have empty squares and (blue underlined) multiple choice problems, this patch might help.

Patch 3 appears to resolve at least a TDB assembly problem, like "sin embargo" = "however" being assembled as "without embargo" (sin = without), despite the right term being present in TDB (single-word terms and multiple-word terms).

Patch 4 reportedly solves an AutoSearch/assembly problem with strings containing square brackets, where strings in DB containing square brackets aren't found/used.

Patch 7 reportedly includes the AutoSearch/assembly problem with strings containing square brackets solved in Patch 4, and fixes to problems with RTF/DOC export of highlighted text. Other fixes it includes relate to very specific problems with SGML and RTF.

Patch 8 includes the previous fixes, and has additional fixes for the SGML filter, but may be less well tested than Patch 7.

Introduction to Psychology/Memory/Flashbulb Memories

(Brown & Kulik, 1977)
Where were you on September 11th? Every so-often, an event occurs that stays in the public conscience as an almost photographic memory for the rest of people's lives; JFK's assassination, Princess Diana's car crash, and many more, and we are able to recall unprecedented details about the events.

Brown & Kulik (1977) described such memories as flashbulb memories, and coined the expression "Now Print!" as the process by which such memories seem to be effortlessly created, The key characteristics of flashbulb memories are:

flashbulb memory is memories
 * Vivid
 * Significant amount of detail
 * Long lasting (a person may be able to recall a flashbulb memory for the rest of their lives)
 * Often of emotional significance in the person's life; Robinson (1980) used cues with participants in a study and found that the recall rates for emotional word cues were faster than those for non-emotional words, which would suggest that emotion has a role in memory.

What affects flashbulb memories?
The relevance or emotional significance of an event to a person's life would seem to increase its likelihood of being stored as a 'flashbulb memory'. Brown and Kulik found that 75% of black people asked were able to recall the assassination of Martin Luther King, while just 33% of white people asked could do the same.

ColdFusion Programming/variables

Variables are used extensively in Coldfusion.

CFSET
The basic way to set a variable is to use cfset. There is no difference between setting a variable as a string or a number. Strings must be inclosed by an opening and closing ' or ".

CFOUTPUT and Pound Signs
The basic way to convert the variable name into its value is to place pound signs around the variable name. The variable name and pound signs must be placed inside of a cfoutput tag.
 * 1) tempvar#

Additionally you can perform calculations within the pound signs. Output: 2
 * 1) 1+1#

Evaluate
An advanced feature is to use the evaluate function. ColdFusion's evaluate function lets you evaluate a string expression at runtime.

It is particularly useful when you need to programatically choose the variable you want to read from.

Since ColdFusion MX 6.1 it has been highly recommended that developers stay away from using Evaluate for most common tasks. Instead it is recommended that developers use bracket notation.

Since the entire variables system is based on a structure system, this design can be used on any type of variable.

 * 1) variables['x']#

Variable Lookup

 * Local variables
 * CGI variables
 * File variables
 * URL variables
 * Form variables
 * Cookie variables
 * Client variables

Session Variables
Session variables are easy to use and create. A session variable is used to allow variables to live beyond the life of the page in which they are created in but will die when the users session dies.

On every page of your application where you are going to use the session variable you need to include:  This code should normally be placed in your Application.cfm file.

Then to set a session variable on page 1:

And on a different page called after page 1:
 * 1) session.name#

Client Variables

 * 1) tempvar#

Introduction to Art/The Basics of Two-Dimensional Art

The Basics of Two-Dimensional Art, often referred to as the Fundamentals or Foundations, can be defined as the "Elements and Principles of Composition"

Composition (visual arts)
Composition is the plan, placement or arrangement of the elements of art in a work. The general goal is to select and organize appropriate elements within the work in order to communicate ideas and feelings with the viewer.

The visual elements (the vocabulary with which the visual artist composes) are:
 * Line--the literal element itself (see below) or a visual path that enables the eye to move within the piece
 * Shape--areas defined by edges within the piece whether geometric or organic
 * Value--the relative lightness or darkness of elements
 * Texture--surface qualities which translate into tactile illusions
 * Color--hues with their various values and intensities
 * Direction--visual routes which take vertical, horizontal or diagonal paths
 * Size--the relative dimensions and proportions of images or shapes to one another

The principles of composition within a picture are:

 * The picture plane--or activated space within an artwork
 * Symmetry or Asymmetry--creating static or dynamic compositions, respectively
 * Flow--the pathway followed by the viewer's eye when they view the image
 * Spatial illusion--invoking a sense of space or perspective
 * Dominance Structures--systems of hierarchy that promote flow, spatial illusion, and impact
 * Areas of Focus--concentrated groups of line, shape, detail, or contrast

The artist determines what areas of focus of the art will be, and composes the work accordingly. The eyes of the viewer will then tend to linger over these points of focus. The illustration can be arranged in a harmonious whole that works together to produce a statement.

Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds (an application of the Golden ratio) is a guideline commonly followed by visual artists. The objective is to keep the subject(s) and areas of interest (such as the horizon) out of the center of the image, by placing them near one of the lines that would divide the image into three equal columns and rows, ideally near the intersection of those lines.

Simplification
Images with a clutter can distract from the main focus points within the picture and make it difficult to identify the subject. By decreasing the extraneous content, the viewer is more likely to focus on the primary objects. Clutter can also be reduced through the use of lighting, as the brighter areas of the image tend to draw the eye, as do lines and squares.

Limiting focus
One approach to achieving simplification within a photograph is to use a wide aperture when shooting to limit the depth of field. When used properly in the right setting, this technique can place everything that is not the subject of the photograph to be out of focus.

A similar approach, given the right equipment, is to take advantage of the Scheimpflug principle to change the plane of focus.

Field of view
By altering the position of the camera, the background can be changed so that the subject has fewer distractions to compete with. This could be achieved by getting closer, moving laterally, or moving the camera vertically. This is true in most common places and is the final test and the you must do this in order to pass the photographers law of photograpy.

Symmetry
The "rule of odds" suggests that an odd number of subjects in an image is more interesting than an even number. Thus if you have more than one subject in your picture, the suggestion is to choose an arrangement with at least three subjects. An even number of subjects produces symmetries in the image, which can appear less natural.

Related to the rule of odds is the observation that triangles are an aesthetically pleasing implied shape within an image.

Viewpoint
The position of the camera can strongly influence the aesthetics of an image. Not only does it influence the background as described above, but it also influences the viewer's interpretation of the subject.

For example, if a boy is photographed from above, for example from the eye level of an adult, he is diminished in stature. A photograph taken at the child's level would treat him as an equal, and one taken from below could result in an impression of dominance.

An image can be rendered more dramatic when it fills the frame. People can have a tendency to perceive things as larger than they actually are, and filling the frame fulfills this psychological mechanism. This can be used to eliminate distractions from the background.

Lines
Every photograph contains lines. Both physical lines and continuous, less obvious lines exist. The brain often unconsciously reads near continuous lines between different elements and subjects at varying distances. Strong flowing lines can be created without a photographer even realizing it. Movement is also a source of line, blur can also create a reaction. Subject lines which create an illusion, contribute to both mood and by means of linear perspective give the illusion of depth of field. Oblique and angular lines give us the sense of dynamic balance and a sense of action. Lines can also direct attention towards the main subject of the photograph, or contribute to the photographs organization by dividing it into compartments.

Straight Lines
Horizontal, Vertical, and Angled lines all contribute to creating different moods of a photograph. The angle and the relationship to the size of the frame both work to determine the influence the line has on the image. They are also strongly influenced by tone, color, and repetition in relation to the rest of the photograph. Straight, horizontal lines, commonly found in landscape photography, gives the impression of calm, tranquility, and space. An image filled with strong vertical lines tends to have the impression of height, and grandeur. Tightly angled convergent lines give a dynamic, lively, and active effect to the image. Viewpoint is very important when dealing with lines in photography, because every different perspective elicits a different response to the photograph. Too many lines without a clear subject point suggest chaos in the image and may conflict with the mood the photographer is trying to evoke.

Curved Lines
Curved lines are generally used to create a sense of flow within a photograph. The eye generally scans these lines with ease and enjoyment as it follows it throughout the image. Compared to straight lines, curves provide a greater dynamic influence in a photograph. When paired with soft-directional lighting curved lines can give gradated shadows which usually results in a very harmonious line structure within the image. Perspective is also important with curved lines, generally speaking the higher the viewpoint the more open the lines tend to be.

CAT-Tools/DéjàVu X/Assemble

 * Being able to manually assign a degree of preference to TDB entries for Assembling (Tanja Güllicher)

 Reinstate DV3 option to discard portions less than two words long, three words long, etc. from Assemble and AutoSearch box (user definable) (David Turner)

 Insert an exact match or best fuzzy match on control/alt+down as a default option even if AutoAssemble is turned off (David Turner)

 Assemble option to use only lexicon and/or term base entries (disabling use of memory portions for AA) (David Turner)

 Propagate exact matches exactly without trying to adjust new target to match source punctuation (David Turner)

 Consider a propagation with a number change as a fuzzy propagation rather than an exact propagation, by just changing the number and not trying to readjust the target to match the source punctuation (if n°1 = No. 1, n°2 should be propagated as No. 2 and not No2 as currently the case (David Turner)

 Yes, agree to David: don't try to match source punctation if you cannot handle it anyway; this is really annoying!! If DV does want to handle source punctuation, it should be able to know the differences: e.g. it does have a rule that English floating point numbers such as "4.3" should be "4,3" in German, which makes sense most of the time. Then why not give it rules on other types of punctation? Like, English “ (opening double quote) should be „ in German, and ” (closing qu.) should be “, in turn? Could even be made user-definable (per language). (Florian v. Savigny)

 Propagation is of limited use (and the difference of this feature to simple matching is not impressive) if you go on to modify the "mother segment" after propagation has taken place. Exact propagation would be a real feature if the "child segments" (i.e. the ones where the content was propagated) were simply mirroring the "mother segment", i.e. whatever happens in the mother segment happens in all "child segments" simultaneously. Also, one would need navigation for jumping from the "child segments" to their "mother segment" (and back, as in a browser). Or, alternatively, whatever happens in any of a group of identical cells (including the "mother" and all "children") happens in all others simultaneously. It is a behaviour I usually try to emulate manually using Filter for Selection (but this is certainly more error-prone). (Florian v. Savigny)

Fuzzy propagation should not exist, except perhaps in the sense David has suggested above, when only numbers and/or codes differ (though I'm actually unsure of whether it should be called "fuzzy" then). Fuzzy propagation has no advantage over plain vanilla fuzzy matching; rather, it is more confusing and error-prone (plain vanilla matching – and editing – happens during normal editing, i.e. going through the text in reading order, while propagation means jumping unknown distances and "rushing by"). At the very least, it should be possible to disable fuzzy propagation. Or, at the very very least, you shouldn't lose focus when you cancel it. (Florian v. Savigny)

CAT-Tools/DéjàVu X/Spelling Check

 * Automatic spelling check of active segment on CTRL/ALT+down. (Rob Laumen)
 * Spelling checker should ignore words/phrases in the Lexicon (Jenny Zonneveld)
 * An option to flag consecutive identical words (e.g. "press Open to open the menu"). The spelling checker will report "doubled words" (Tools - Spelling - Options) but it would be nice if this option were also integrated into the AutoCheck on CTRL/ALT+down feature (Tools - Options - General - Terminology Checks—The latter ought to be renamed to a more general indication e.g. Auto-Check/Auto-Verification). (Rob Laumen)
 * Squiggly red line typo indicator. This was promised in DVX but hasn't materialised yet (Herbert Eppel, 9 July 07)

CAT-Tools/DéjàVu X/Find

 * When searching in DB's in a language with Ctrl+F, only show hits corresponding to the selected target language. With multiple languages, hits with translations only in other languages than the selected target are also shown, with an empty target view. (Gudmund Areskoug)

CAT-Tools/DéjàVu X/Search and Replace

 * Search & Replace should end up where it started and give the total number of replacements (Martin Wunderlich)
 * Search and Replace should have the option "Update Translation Memory accordingly" . (Georgy Moiseenko)
 * When performing a Replace all, indicate how many replacements were done (useful to count how many times a word is used), as in Word and keep the cursor in the original segment, rahter than the last updated segment (Walter Weyne)
 * And should not loose focus when complete (Jenny Zonneveld)
 * Should (as a second alternative to the "Match case" option) be able to handle case "intelligently", as in GNU Emacs (and Word?): if the replaced word (the match found) is uppercase, the replacement should be uppercase, too. If the replaced word is lowercase, the replacement should be lowercase. (Florian v. Savigny) (And yes - S&R's losing focus is very annoying, I fully agree!)
