Linux/Compiling the Linux kernel

Compiling the Linux Kernel from the source code will allow you to get a great understanding of the internal workings of the kernel. Obtaining the source code, modifying, and then compiling and installing it is explained in this article. All examples are done on a Fedora 11 virtual machine.

Kernel Versions
The developers of the linux kernel use a numbering system to track the newest versions of the source code. The current major revision is 2.6. Numbers following this version, (example, 2.6.32.1) indicate minor revisions and bug fixes. More details can be found on the Wikipedia article for the linux kernel. Linux Kernel Version numbering

Obtaining the latest Linux Kernel version
The latest kernel source code is always available from www.kernel.org. To start with we need to obtain the latest stable release of the Linux kernel. This should be downloaded and extracted into the right directory on our linux machine. Typically, the kernel will be kept in the /usr/src/kernels directory, so we will use this in this guide.

Assuming the kernel package has been downloaded to your Download folder, the following command will copy this to our working directory. To then extract the files we use the 'tar' program.

This will leave the original compressed file in your /usr/src/kernels directory. We can delete this using the rm command, leaving just our uncompressed directory.

You can now browse the entire Linux source code at your leisure.

Compiling
The Linux Kernel is distributed with it's 'Makefile'. This file is a set of rules which simplifies the procedure of compiling the kernel. To use the Makefile to build the kernel, there are two commands.

You can expect this to be a time consuming process. How long it will take exactly depends on your machines hardware. To install the kernel you just compiled, you can use the command,

This will install the Kernel to your system and add the record to your grub loader. Once you reboot your system, make sure to select your new kernel version from the grub menu.

Modifying
The Makefile can also be used to modify aspects of the kernel before you compile it. To access the tool used to modify our kernel, we use

This will bring up the interface used for our modifications. This requires the 'ncurses-devel' library to be installed. Use your package manager to install this if required.

The kernel can be compiled with a huge amount of different options set. Explaining each is beyond the scope of this document, but if it is not self-explanatory from the title, then an Internet search should yield enough results to help explain what that option does.

The Linux kernel is primarily written in the C language. To experiment with making modifications to the source code, you can open up the relevant .c file and make your changes. Once you wish to compile the kernel after your changes, you can run this make command, which will only compile what you have changed, saving a lot of time rather than compiling the whole kernel again.

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 Dbinder. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dbinder~enwikiversity 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.

Talk:Theory Design Lab/Predestination

Motivation
What does predestination motivate? If there was some kind of supernatural agent planning events ahead one could derive an increased motivation to
 * make plans
 * understand how own plans interacted with the plans of others
 * avoid unacceptable situations for others that were the result of
 * allowing predestination to happen
 * making own plans that endorsed or even required those situations

Consequently predestination could be interpreted as that motivation and mentoring would appear to be the solution to the problem. One could also speculate that, in a capitalist society, because of (hypothetical or metaphorical) "competitive karma", there was an increased demand to compensate the effects of capitalism (e.g. with mentoring). --fasten 18:34, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Relationships to Empirical Studies
Dewey article

*Dewey, J. (1906). The Child and the Curriculum. Chicago: The University Of Chicago Press.

 * According to Dewey, there are 3 major evils of "instruction". First, there is a lack of organic connection in lessons that don't relate to a student's life. Perhaps using the student as the topic of lessons can have a greater impact to the connections they make already. Especially by using their own pictures in a collection that documents their experiences from multiple views. Secondly, Dewey states that there is a lack of motivation for students because their Life is put into a lesson, and because they are not developmentally ready for understanding this formula, they lack the willingness to triumph over the logical formula. I feel an activity like this would lend, first, to showing what the child's developmental stage is. Do they put themselves in a storyboard from their perspective? From others? Can they use multi-modalities to represent their lives (pictures, labels, themes)?Second, because they are recalling and depicting themselves in a visual format, can this motivate students and at the same time make them more reflective learners? Lastly, Dewey states that it’s easier for the student to like and "front motivation" to the teacher's lessons, rather than be exposed to the disciplines and consequences given to students by the school. How can we give structure through a lesson to teach students, yet give enough freedom for them to apply themselves and their own rational and techniques so they don't only think about the consequences of not doing the "balanced" assignment.

Nasir, McLaughlin, Jones article

*Nasir, N., McLaughlin, M., & Jones, A. (2009). What Does It Mean to Be African American? Constructions of Race and Academic Identity in an Urban Public High School. American Educational Research Journal, 46(1), 73–114.

 * According to these researchers, there are conflicting findings as to whether African American student's self identity leads to positive or negative outcomes. If students identify themselves through a cultural norm, but also by how they individually see themselves within their race. So this storyboard comic lesson can give insight and evidence for how they portray themselves. For example, if students rely more on family pictures, their heritage within their race, as compared to images portraying the "street savvy" stereotypical logos and wear that modern media places on African Americans, this can shed light to their levels of potential success. And I as a teacher can help students identify those cultural characteristics that are true to them and show them that they can be successful regardless of the identity connections they place on themselves, or that society places on them. According to Nasir et al(2009),school environment, a connection to pop-culture or historical value of what it means to be African American, had major influences on students (p. 80). 60% of my students are African American. I would like to display the students work around the room to create a welcoming environment that shows pride and respect for varieties of cultures.

Tettegah, S.Y., et al

*Tettegah, S., Whang, E., Taylor, K., & Cash, T. (2008). Narratives, Virtual Environments and Identity Semiotics: an exploration of pre-service teachers’ cognitions. E-Learning, 5(1), 103-127.

 * According to these researcher's study, describing past events in storyboard fashion can reveal reflective processes for pre-service teachers. Perhaps this can also be used for students. Although I am having students create a story-borad about how they view themselves and how others view them, I think the narrative process would lend the same types of reactions from students. Being able to recreate an image(s) that holds true to the self can lend to self exploration; the student final products can also help the teacher see how the student thinks about themselves through different lens. If anything, a narrative of students can help debias a teacher who may not be familiar with the cultural context a student views themselves in; perhaps stereotypes and authentication of a student can be expressed.

Purpose and Background of Lesson
Purpose

Students will reflect and apply their ideas about how they view themselves and how others view them in a ComicLife storyboard.

Background

Students have discussed and completed activities that relate to how they view themselves and how they think others view them. They have reflected on this to determine how they can be successful based on the values they hold true to themselves. The theme of the month for the AVID course has been “excellence”. Although we have done many worksheet type activities and discussions of what their responses mean to them, there has been a disconnect to applying what they have done in the class to their actual thinking. I recently did an opener asking the class “what have you gotten out of AVID thus far?” and nearly all student’s responses were “organizational skills and how to take Cornell notes”. In their defense, the activities done on the excellence and paradigm themes were mostly simple “input” responses not asking more than 3 word answers; fill in the blank type format. Perhaps giving students a more “undiagnostic” opportunity to reflect more on their past experiences in light of societal and self views in a more visual, storyboard format will give them the insight of how stereotypes, self motivation, and how to be true to yourself effects their paradigm.

Engage/ Explore/ Explain
Engage

Quickwrite:

 1. What is your paradigm?

2. How do you stay true to your background and your school success at the same time?

Explore

Students create an individual comic life that portrays, in 3 parts: #How society has portrayed them throughout their lives #How they have viewed themselves throughout their lives #Which one they feel they hold more true to and why

Materials:

 1. Integrated camera in their computers

2. Flash drive with digital pictures of their past

3. Internet (Google Images)

4. Jing

5. ComicLife (need to buy program)

Procedures:

* Decide on pictures of societal images and past pictures of your self that represent how others view you within the context of your culture, family, and friends. * Make a storyboard, (use 4 window comic frames minimum) describing scenarios and influences that you have had in your life from outside yourself (rely on your work you have done in this class about “paradigms”. You may want to use key words you remember from your AVID worksheets to search for Internet images). Be sure to include balloons and labels to describe the images you choose to represent this part of your life. * Next, make a connecting storyboard (4 window minimum) that reflects who you KNOW you are. Again, use images and ideas from previous AVID activities. * The last part of your storyboard should combine the previous 2 parts and explain which one you hold true to more and why. You want to also think about and pictorially represent how each part of your story effects your level of success and excellence.

Explain

After printing out your comic, class does a gallery walk to view all students’ comics. As students go from comic to comic, they write down the similarities and differences that they notice. Students organize their findings in a graphic organizer:

United States Civics

POLS 701 - Introduction to American Civics

Course Overview
On December 12, 2009, Houston held a Municipal Run-off election. It was a Run-off in an off year, so people discredited its validity. 16% of Houston's registered voters showed up to the polls. It was historic, however. A woman named Annise Parker was elected mayor and became the first openly gay person elected Mayor of a major (over one million people) U.S. City. This shows that many elections are important, if not all. My hope is that by the end of this course, all who take it will be persuaded to never sit out on an election.
 * Going back to my point about Houston, imagine you are a Man or Woman who lives in Houston, besides the Mayor, you have about 113 other elected officials. My other hope is that the reason you vote is because you actually know about the offices and not just want to pull the lever for blue or red.

This basically means the President, the Vice-President, and the Cabinet. We will go over this briefly because it seems to be the only thing taught in High School Civics.

National Legislature
Is Pro is the opposite of Con, than what is the opposite of Progress? We will spend about a week on Congress to show the nuts and bolts on how it works.

National Judicial
All the Federal Courts, not just the Supreme Court. Please note that this is just the workings of the institutions themselves, not of famous cases by them. We will go over the Federal Courts for a couple days.

State Executive
The Governors. I will attempt to make a State Neutral version.

State Legislatures
Since every state is different, I will try to make it neutral. Like congress I want to spend a week on it.

Counties
Since every County is different, I will do ONE day on basic County responsibilities.

Local Government
We will go over; Home Rule and General Law, Mayor-Council and Council-Manager, and many more. You can expect about 2 week on this subject.

Local and State Judicial
Every State is different so I am going to do it this way. I will ask all of my students to name the state they are from, and do one day on Local Judicial of each state that is mentioned.

Constitutional Law
Going over the Bill of Rights (Specifically the 1st Amendment). This will take about a week.

Course Times and Sign Up
There will be no Tests, there will be no grades. I just want to make this class to educate Voters in America. The Course will start Monday December 21st, and end February 26th. We will have December 25th off. January 1st off. January 11th-15th off. January 18th off. February 15th off. Please sign up on my User Talk Page Here before the 21st. I will keep in touch.

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 Jimwitz. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jimwitz~enwikiversity 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.

Welcome
Jimwitz, first I think it's awesome that you want to participate in Wikiversity because I, like you, feel that it's a worthwhile venture. Second, it's not really my department. Although I've been trying to build it up, albeit very slowly, it belongs to the world; I am just trying to do my little part. I am here for whatever you need, just let me know. I am sticking with the basic PS classes so that I can ensure that I maintain a solid foundation and then I'm going to branch into my specialities. But let me know how I can assist you.JaylanHaley 05:05, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Votian/Plural Nominative

Plural nominative

 * Nominative case has no marker.
 * Plural nominative has only a plural marker -t . It may take only a vowel stem.
 * Thus singular nominative is usually in a grade opposite to plural nominative, caused by consonant gradation in stems e.g.  seppä ('a blacksmith') vs. sepäD ('blacksmiths'),  ammaz ('a tooth') vs. ampāD ('teeth').
 * Singular nominative may be represented by a multisyllable consonant stem where available e.g. vare̮hse̮-D ('crows') vs. singular nominative vare̮z ('a crow').
 * A monosyllable consonant stem  will have an additional -i in it's end e.g.  singular partitive kuus-ta ('fir') vs. singular nominative kuus-i.
 * The plural nominative marker -t may be pronounced -t, -D  or  -d  caused by sandhi . E.g. :
 * in the absolute end - lehmä-D ('cows' )
 * in front of a voiceless consonant - tüttäre-t ̮tulivaD ('The daughters came.' )
 * in front of a voiced consonant - tüttäre-d ̮dūmasivaD ('The daughters thought.' )

Declensions
Consonant stems occur in limited declensions. Their stem-vowel (originally e) was omitted in front of certain morphemes only. Those morphemes started with k, n or t. The stem-consonant was h, *k (> h), l, n, r, s or t.

m was later replaced with n, when stem-vowel was dropped e.g. лum-i ('snow')  nominative, лume̮-лta ('from the snow')  ablative  vs. лun-ta ('(Take some) snow')  partitive.

Following declension types have consonant stems :
 * X Declension: -e stems e.g. plural nominative tuлe̮-D vs. singular nominative tul-i, singular partitive tuл-ta ('fire').
 * XI Declension: -ks stems e.g. plural nominative vare̮hse̮-D vs. singular nominative vare̮z, singular partitive vare̮s-sa ('crow') < *vare̮s-ta.
 * XII Declension: -nen stems e.g. plural nominative naize̮-D vs. singular nominative nain(e̮  ), singular partitive nais-sa ('wife') < *nais-ta.
 * XIII Declension: -n stems e.g. plural nominative sēmene-D vs. singular nominative sēmē, singular partitive sēmē-tä ('seed') < *sēmen-ta.
 * XIII Declension: -m stems e.g. plural nominative ve̮ttime̮-D vs. singular nominative ve̮tī, singular partitive ve̮tī-ta ('key') < *ve̮tin-ta.
 * XIII Declension: -nt stems e.g. plural nominative ke̮лme̮tte̮̮me̮̮-D vs. singular nominative ke̮лme̮z, singular partitive ke̮лme̮t-te̮̮ ('the third') < *ke̮лme̮tte̮̮n-ta Jõgõperä dialect.
 * XIV Declension: -s stems e.g. plural nominative ampā-D vs. singular nominative ammaz, singular partitive ammas-sa ('tooth') < *ammas-ta.
 * XIV Declension: -k stems e.g. plural nominative sitē̮-D vs. singular nominative sie̮, singular partitive sie̮t-ta ('tie') < *sie̮k-ta.
 * XIV Declension: -h stems e.g. plural nominative ernē-D vs. singular nominative erne, singular partitive erneh-tä ('pea').
 * XV Declension: -t stems e.g. plural nominative lühǖ-D < *lühüe-t < *lühüte-t vs. singular nominative lühüD, singular partitive lühüt-tä ('short').

User talk:Stevenarntson/Analytical Writing/assignments

--Zsanders 19:38, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Homelessness is Seattle, is and is rapidly becoming a real problem for Downtown Seattle residents. Most of the city homeless persons live in downtown Seattle, or with a traveling group called tent city. Homeless person are typical drawn to this area because most of the city’s recovery, shelter, and social services, and some medical services are located downtown. Downtown Seattle has a large population of homeless person that sleep in the local parks. In the recent years county executives put strict time restriction laws on our parks. This to me was to control where the homeless people go and what times they can be in the parks. Parks are a natural resource, and should be shared by all of the community.

Often Homeless person have limited opportunity to earn a living wage or get public support, in the form of social services. Educational and functional disabilities (substance abuse included), prevents most homeless men from getting jobs that pay a higher salary than minimum wage. With out employment, many homeless men can’t afford to pay rent anywhere in the U.S, even with disability services. There is a financial grant provided to some men though our local DSHD offices. It is called General Assistance. This grant is usually a max of about $350.00. Even with this income you still cannot afford a median priced studio or one bedroom apt, in Seattle or King County.

Criminalization of homelessness is a major factor in how we view and treat our homeless population. Men are frequently arrested for loitering, sleeping, urinating, or drinking in public places. These activities are legal and natural behaviors in the home, but when you are homeless this activities are natural but made illegal because they are done in public. These types of activities which are done in public, manifest them selves in the form of criminal records, even though it is non criminal behavior. This also leads to a high unemployment rate. With criminal convictions, most employers will not hire you. And how can homeless men pay court ordered fee’s that are required, because of the criminal conviction. To get a criminal record in Seattle expunged is hard to do. Seattle is limited; the last place I knew where you could get it done was Central Area Motivational Services.

Single men after the age of 18 cannot receive or are not eligible for health coverage. This has many effects, for example, with dental issues; you are not able to obtain dentures or replacements for missing teeth. A smile is usually the first thing you see on a person, so to not be able to smile, has self esteem effects, which can see seen in human to human inter actions. Also employers are not highly likely to hire some one with no front teeth or no teeth at all. Most of these teeth have been lost to poorly maintained dental issues, also drug use plays a big part in losing teeth, which brings me to my next issue. Healthcare also provides chemical dependency assistance. Chemical dependency has been defined as a medical issue and thus a person needs to have health insurance to find chemical dependency help, and counseling services combined to keep them clean and sober. But with no health care how is one to do that.

These are just some of the issues that are plaguing homeless men in Seattle and other places in the U.S. There is no one solution to combat this problem. To eradicate homelessness, there has to be a combined effort. There needs to be employment for convicted felons, there needs to be assistance with expunging criminal records, there needs to be medical services so every one can strive to be clean and maintain that through medical care and counseling services. There need to be housing available, educational services, and the right of basic human privileges needs to be reinstated, so men can begin to combat their issues. It will take a community to make this happen, so until we are all willing to stand united there will continue to be citizen of our communities that will fall by the waist side.

Introduction
Online communications via text e-mail and instant messaging can bring a sense of anonymity to the people engaged in the communication. This perception is not necessarily borne out during the exchange as there are many clues to a person's background and status to be found in their spelling, their choice of individual words, their grammar and their prosaic style. Fortunately, there are some online tools that are readily available to help level the communication playing field.

Languages- Common Tongues and Specialized Vocabularies
Because I reside in America, I am used to using English as my common tongue. Personally I recognize that English is not homogeneous in its usage across the world. It is also not homogeneous in America nor in my region of the southwestern portion of the country and not in my state of California and not in my city of San Diego. None the less, I can discern things in my own communication which may give anyone communicating with me a clue as to who and where I am just by my use of this common tongue.Because I use a relatively refined vocabulary and write with a fair amount of clarity, someone communicating with me would find it easy to assume that I am well educated. If my communication is of a formal business nature they may have a hard time gaining more insight into anything more about me including my nationality, my race, and even my gender. If I am using a user name online it can hide or reveal things about me depending on how I craft it. I am comfortable in my communication abilities and I also feel that I am a fair judge of other people's communication skill. In addition to common speech forms I also have some knowledge of several specialized vocabularies. My background in general science and biology allow me to understand and exchange information in these subject areas that would be less comprehensible to others who have little background in these areas. I also have some background with several foreign languages but I do not have enough mastery over them to feel comfortable on my own with any extensive communications with anyone who is fluent in those languages.

Using Specialized Scientific Vocabulary

I advise caution when you encounter the need to use specialized vocabulary or encounter it being used by someone else. Scientific vocabulary can be especially tricky. Terms such as carrying capacity have nothing to do with weight in the scientific discipline of Ecology. The term is used when describing what amount of a certain type of living organism a particular ecosystem can sustain. It would be difficult to anticipate all the potentials for miscommunication with specialized vocabularies and just smarter to admit that you do not know everything instead.

Stereo Type Threat Concerns
A stereotype threat is faced by someone when anything they do or say makes someone else and perhaps even themselves be likely to characterize them as being a typical example of the stereotype.When the stereotype is a negative one, it can be self threatening enough that it can be disruptive to the efforts of the effected person just by the existence of this threat alone. African American students have historically labored under this condition. "Whenever they perform an explicitly scholastic or intellectual task, they face the threat of confirming being judged by a negative societal stereotype- a suspicion- about their race's intellectual ability and competence." (Stereotype Threat and the Intellectual Test Performance of African Americans, Steele & Aronson 1995). In regards to online communications, this threat can have a dampening effect upon the participation of African Americans and other potential groups who would be negatively stereotyped. Even though written communications via e-mail or instant text messages should carry some anonymity, the threat could stop their participation before they even begin. Hopefully if they know that there resources available in real time for them to use while communicating online, they will be less likely to fall prey to the stereotype threat.

The Usefulness of Embedded Dictionaries and Web Page Dictionary Resources
To be honest, my spelling is atrocious (ha ha I actually spelled that right the first time by some miracle). I tend to be phonetic when I attempt to write out the words I am thinking about. I am quite grateful for embedded dictionaries in most text programs that are on the computer and in email and other online communication programs. I also have an online dictionary bookmarked and in those times when I am using a simple text program without an embedded dictionary or those times when I need to hand write something, my browser is usually opened to the online dictionary for quick reference. My dictionary of choice for this is: http://www.merriam-webster.com They have a nice search bar that works with those of us who can get close to the spelling but not hit the mark and they have an alphabetized listing for those who are further from getting the right spelling.

The Usefulness of Web Based Thesauruses
So after you have the spelling of the word you want to use and you successfully use it in your communications, you may find that you are worried about being redundant. A good thing repeated the same way can be too much of a good thing. This is where the online thesaurus comes in handy. For example, if I am talking about a boat, I don't want to sink my link by using that appellation over and over, so I click on the tab I have open to: http://thesaurus.reference.com. I type in boat in their search bar and here is what I get;

"Main Entry: boat Part of Speech: noun Definition: vehicle for water travel Synonyms: ark, barge, bark, bateau, bottom, bucket, canoe, catamaran, craft, dinghy, dory, gondola, hulk, ketch, launch, lifeboat, pinnace, raft, sailboat, schooner, scow, ship, skiff, sloop, steamboat, tub, yacht Notes: a boat is a vessel that can be hauled aboard a ship, according to the Navy, with a ship being somewhat larger."

This information gives me lots of ways to call a boat by any other name, though it will not necessarily be as sweet. It keeps you afloat on the sea of communication and not foundering on the rocks of redundancy.

Using The Open Source Dictionary and Wordnick
This is all well and good if someone is just needing to communicate one way. But when an online exchange is more instantaneous, you may need an additional resource or two at your disposal. Fortunately you can have multiple tabs and full browser pages open on most modern computers. If someone you were communicating with was to throw the term "carbolicious" at you, you might have nary a clue as to it's meaning and your online dictionary may not have it either. there are several places though where this term may be found. One is: http://www3.merriam-webster.com/opendictionary They have alphabetized listings and a search bar as well so just type in the term in the search bar and you have improved your chances of knowing what the other person is talking about. Another good site for this type of communication impediment is: http://www.wordnik.com They also have listings of unusual words and phrases. If neither the traditional resources or these alternate resources have this information the I suggest calling out your online communication partner by asking did you just make that up or something?

Using Google Translator
Venturing you online communications into the realm of internationalism can be daunting. Not only do you not share a language with many of the people across the world, you also may lack an understanding of their cultural norms. The way to go when you encounter someone from a foreign country online who does not speak your language is to proceed cautiously and respectfully. It is not generally too hard to establish names and country affiliations but after that you may be at a loss as to how to proceed. If the other person speaks and writes in one of a few of the most common languages, I suggest using: http://translate.google.com This is not a perfect translator so expect that there may be snags to your communication, but overall it is a good way to have conversations longer than the equivalent of "Me Tarzan, You Jane".

Places for Teachers to use These Communication Tools
I have found several teacher's resource web sites that have chat enabled that could be a good place to try out theese tools. they are: http://teachers.net/mentors and: http://www.theteacherscorner.net/forums Good luck with the chatting and be careful of those specialized vocabularies and foreign tongues.

User:Zsanders

--Zsanders 19:43, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Homelessness is Seattle, is and is rapidly becoming a real problem for Downtown Seattle residents. Most of the city homeless persons live in downtown Seattle, or with a traveling group called tent city. Homeless person are typical drawn to this area because most of the city’s recovery, shelter, and social services, and some medical services are located downtown. Downtown Seattle has a large population of homeless person that sleep in the local parks. In the recent years county executives put strict time restriction laws on our parks. This to me was to control where the homeless people go and what times they can be in the parks. Parks are a natural resource, and should be shared by all of the community.

Often Homeless person have limited opportunity to earn a living wage or get public support, in the form of social services. Educational and functional disabilities (substance abuse included), prevents most homeless men from getting jobs that pay a higher salary than minimum wage. With out employment, many homeless men can’t afford to pay rent anywhere in the U.S, even with disability services. There is a financial grant provided to some men though our local DSHD offices. It is called General Assistance. This grant is usually a max of about $350.00. Even with this income you still cannot afford a median priced studio or one bedroom apt, in Seattle or King County.

Criminalization of homelessness is a major factor in how we view and treat our homeless population. Men are frequently arrested for loitering, sleeping, urinating, or drinking in public places. These activities are legal and natural behaviors in the home, but when you are homeless this activities are natural but made illegal because they are done in public. These types of activities which are done in public, manifest them selves in the form of criminal records, even though it is non criminal behavior. This also leads to a high unemployment rate. With criminal convictions, most employers will not hire you. And how can homeless men pay court ordered fee’s that are required, because of the criminal conviction. To get a criminal record in Seattle expunged is hard to do. Seattle is limited; the last place I knew where you could get it done was Central Area Motivational Services.

Single men after the age of 18 cannot receive or are not eligible for health coverage. This has many effects, for example, with dental issues; you are not able to obtain dentures or replacements for missing teeth. A smile is usually the first thing you see on a person, so to not be able to smile, has self esteem effects, which can see seen in human to human inter actions. Also employers are not highly likely to hire some one with no front teeth or no teeth at all. Most of these teeth have been lost to poorly maintained dental issues, also drug use plays a big part in losing teeth, which brings me to my next issue. Healthcare also provides chemical dependency assistance. Chemical dependency has been defined as a medical issue and thus a person needs to have health insurance to find chemical dependency help, and counseling services combined to keep them clean and sober. But with no health care how is one to do that.

These are just some of the issues that are plaguing homeless men in Seattle and other places in the U.S. There is no one solution to combat this problem. To eradicate homelessness, there has to be a combined effort. There needs to be employment for convicted felons, there needs to be assistance with expunging criminal records, there needs to be medical services so every one can strive to be clean and maintain that through medical care and counseling services. There need to be housing available, educational services, and the right of basic human privileges needs to be reinstated, so men can begin to combat their issues. It will take a community to make this happen, so until we are all willing to stand united there will continue to be citizen of our communities that will fall by the waist side.

Children, Schools and Families Bill/Amendments to Section 19A of Schedule 1

Current wording of Section 19A

 * 19A  Maintenance of home education register

 * (1)  A local authority in England shall maintain a register for the purpose of monitoring the provision of education to children of compulsory school age in their area who are not educated at a school or under section 19.

 * (2)  Regulations may make provision about maintenance of the register.

 * (3)  The regulations may, in particular, make provision about amendment of the register.

 * (4)  In this Act—

 * “home-educated child” means a child all of whose education is provided otherwise than at a school, and not under section 19;

 * “home education register” means a register maintained under this section.

Series A of amendments
This is a set of amendments which aim to make the maintenance of a home education register the responsibility of local authorities, and not of parents.

Amendment A1

Section 19A(2) after "about" insert "local authority"

Amendment A2

Section 19A(3) after "about" replace with "local authority responsibilities to amend the register"

Series B of amendments
This is an amendment which changes the purpose of maintaining a home education register, from monitoring to the provision of services.

Amendment B1

Section 19A(1) delete "for the purpose of monitoring the provision of education to" and replace with "for the purpose of providing services to"

What it would look like as amended
Underlined text is introduced by Series A. Italic text by Series B.

 * 19A    Maintenance of home education register

 * (1)  A local authority in England shall maintain a register for the purpose of providing services to children of compulsory school age in their area who are not educated at a school or under section 19.

 * (2)  Regulations may make provision about local authority maintenance of the register.

 * (3)  The regulations may, in particular, make provision about local authority responsibilities to amend the register.

 * (4)  In this Act—

 * “home-educated child” means a child all of whose education is provided otherwise than at a school, and not under section 19;

 * “home education register” means a register maintained under this section.

Why "shall maintain"? Why not "may maintain"?

I would like to propose an amendment to delete 19A. Fiona FionaNicholson 08:43, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Comment by Fiona,sorry if it is in the wrong place. I feel this would work better a/ if the LA "may" maintain rather than "shall" maintain, as I said in comment to amendment for 19A. Also I have concerns about "prescribed manner" and "prescribed details", will these be prescribed in primary legislation or by regulation? Also I still think there will inevitably be mission creep with a statutory register. Fiona FionaNicholson 08:48, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

 * But this subsection is subject to subsection (4).

 * (4)  If the authority consider the child is within subsection (7), they shall apply to the court and provide evidence as to why the child's welfare is at risk from home education.

 * (5)  The authority shall give the parent notice—

 * (a)  when they enter the child’s details on their home education register, of the registration;

 * (b)  if they consider the child is within subsection (7), of the reasons for this, and of the date of the court hearing on the authority's welfare application.

 * (6)  A child is within this section if—

 * (a)  it appears to the local authority that the child is not receiving a suitable education, or

 * (b)  a school attendance order served under section 437 is in force in respect of the child.

 * (7)  A child is within this subsection if the authority consider that it would be harmful to the child’s welfare for the child—

 * (a)  to become a home-educated child, or

 * (b)  in the case of a child who is already a home-educated child, to continue to be a home-educated child.

 * (8)  This subsection applies to notification for registration of a child’s details on the authority’s home education register if the authority consider that information that has been provided in connection with the notification is incorrect or inadequate in a material respect.

 * (9)  A notification is made in the prescribed manner, for the purposes of this section and section 19C, if it is made in a manner determined by or in accordance with regulations under subsection (1).

 * (10)  For the purposes of this section and sections 19C and 19D, references to entering details on an authority’s home education register, in relation to details that are already on the register, include references to keeping those details on the register.

 * (11) For the purposes of this section, a suitable education means an education suitable to the child's age, aptitude and ability, and any special educational needs he may have, as defined in s7.

 * 2) All syndicated items must have link to original source - done (jw)
 * 3) Reduce categories to a managable 10 items or less
 * 4) The post author name is different to the actual author. eg http://ucniss.org/archives/248 is authored by Ben Rattray but attributed to sheilmcn (Sheila MacNeill) who is that?
 * 5) Can't work out how to add a thumb image to the post - instruction under 'Arras Theme' in the WP dashboard http://ucniss.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=arras-guide
 * 6) It seems that syndicated content is getting a "news" category and therefore displaying as a main news item.. in this example a UCNISS email forum post has come across http://ucniss.org/archives/394
 * 7) How to set the main articles from the feed?
 * 8) Custom Template for Youtube playlist page
 * 9) Regarding thumbnail images.. is there any way we can set the "value" so as to pick up the first image used in the original post? The manual process is too convoluted, and results in the thumb image becoming a banner on the post copy. eg: http://ucniss.org/2009/12/diabetes-honours-project-and-scholarships/

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 Eden. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Eden~enwikiversity 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 23:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:06, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
