"A lot of Americans are buying these videos because they're interested in playing Afro-Cuban music," says Artiles. "Afro-Cuban music is popular all over the world right now. It's the right moment for us to be producing these videos."
Warner has also begun to fill a gap in reference materials in an area in which there is a dearth of written resources, especially in English. The Essence of Afro-Cuban Percussion and Drum Set, by Ed Uribe, a professor of Latin American and Caribbean music at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, features, in addition to lesson plans, a concise history of Latin music styles, a glossary of terms, and maps tracing the origins of Afro-Cuban rhythms to their respective regions in Africa. It is highly recommended for musicians, scholars, and anyone interested in the fundamentals of Latin dance music. Among other enlightening works, a book of Spanish children's songs and games documents an oral tradition with easy-to-play music for piano with Spanish lyrics, accompanied by English translations.
The company's massive facility houses the workspaces of editors and graphic artists, a printing plant, and a shipping warehouse. In one office during a recent visit, an editor was going over a photocopied manuscript of a book on Cuban piano technique that had been submitted by another of Artiles's contacts, a musicologist who lives in Havana. The text will be translated and published by Warner this year.
Through Artiles's contacts, Warner has become instrumental in giving musicians on this side of the strait access to Cuban music and technique. Instructional videos and books on Cuban music are particularly important since they are prohibitively expensive to produce in present-day Cuba and have not been previously available here because of the island's political isolation. Videos and books featuring Changuito, the former drummer for the venerable dance group Los Van Van, provide lessons in timbales and outline the method for playing the complex Van Van dance rhythm, songo. Another videotape, Drumset Artists of Cuba, features four young drum whizzes: Samuel Formell, Raul Pineda, Jose Manuel Sanchez, and Jimmy Branly. A song book of ballads by troubadour Pablo Milanes is also available from Warner.
These and other books and videos produced by the company have a social as well as didactic value. While the lessons on the videos would be, for the most part, boring for nonmusicians to watch, they contain segments capturing intimate performances of musicians that might not be recorded elsewhere. Carlos Santana: Influences combines a lesson by the Latin rock pioneer with historic footage of some of his mentors: innovative jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery, Hungarian fusionist Gabor Szabo, and the Brazilian player Bola Sete. Hidalgo's tapes include jam sessions with some esteemed colleagues. Conga Virtuoso, for example, features two acclaimed young talents: pianist Danilo Perez and saxman David Sanchez.
Hidalgo, who says he has three more videos in the works, considers the tapes an efficient way to spread the Latin music gospel around the world. Mostly he likes to think about the import they might have for his son's generation. "We have to keep on top of things and keep it going," says the highly respected conguero. "We have to do this in order to leave a really beautiful legacy behind.

How does my heart's electrical system work?
What controls the timing of my heartbeat?
Your heart's electrical system controls the timing of your heartbeat by regulating your:
- Heart rate, which is the number of times your heart beats per minute.
- Heart rhythm, which is the synchronized pumping action of your four heart chambers.
Your heart's electrical system should maintain:
- A steady heart rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute at rest. The heart's electrical system also increases this rate to meet your body's needs during physical activity and lowers it during sleep.
- An orderly contraction of your atria and ventricles (this is called a sinus rhythm).
How does the heart's electrical system work?
Like every part of your body, your heart muscle is made of tiny cells. Your heart's electrical system controls the timing of your heartbeat by sending an electrical signal through these cells.
Two different types of cells in your heart enable the electrical signal to control your heartbeat:
- Conducting cells carry your heart's electrical signal.
- Muscle cells enable your heart's chambers to contract, an action triggered by your heart's electrical signal.
The electrical signal travels through the network of conducting cell "pathways," which stimulates your upper chambers (atria) and lower chambers (ventricles) to contract. The signal is able to travel along these pathways by means of a complex reaction that allows each cell to activate one next to it, stimulating it to "pass along" the electrical signal in an orderly manner. As cell after cell rapidly transmits the electrical charge, the entire heart contracts in one coordinated motion, creating a heartbeat.
How does my heart's electrical system regulate the rhythm of my heartbeat?
The electrical signal starts in a group of cells at the top of your heart called the sinoatrial (SA) node. The signal then travels down through your heart, triggering first your two atria and then your two ventricles. In a healthy heart, the signal travels very quickly through the heart, allowing the chambers to contract in a smooth, orderly fashion.
See an illustration of the heart and its electrical system.
The sections that follow explain step by step how the signal travels through your heart.
How does the signal trigger my atria to contract?
When the SA node "fires," it triggers the following process:
- The electrical signal travels from your SA node through muscle cells in your right and left atria.
- The signal triggers the muscle cells that make your atria contract.
- The atria contract, pumping blood into your left and right ventricles.
After the electrical signal has caused your atria to contract and pump blood into your ventricles, the electrical signal arrives at a group of cells at the bottom of the right atrium called the atrioventricular node, or AV node. The AV node briefly slows down the electrical signal, giving the ventricles time to receive the blood from the atria. The electrical signal then moves on to trigger your ventricles.
How does the signal trigger my ventricles to contract?
When the electrical signal leaves the AV node, it triggers the following process:
- The signal travels down a bundle of conduction cells called the bundle of His, which divides the signal into two branches: one branch goes to the left ventricle, another to the right ventricle.
- These two main branches divide further into a system of conducting fibers that spreads the signal through your left and right ventricles, causing the ventricles to contract.
- When the ventricles contract, your right ventricle pumps blood to your lungs and the left ventricle pumps blood to the rest of your body.
After your atria and ventricles contract, each part of the system electrically resets itself.
How does my heart's electrical system regulate my heart rate?
The cells of the SA node at the top of the heart are known as the pacemaker of the heart because the rate at which these cells send out electrical signals determines the rate at which the entire heart beats (heart rate).
The normal heart rate at rest ranges between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Your heart rate can adjust higher or lower to meet your body's needs. The term "heart rate" refers specifically to the rate at which the ventricles contract. In various types of arrhythmias, the atria and ventricles can beat at different rates. Nevertheless, the rate of the ventricles is considered the heart rate.
What makes my heart rate speed up or slow down?
Your brain and other parts of your body send signals to stimulate your heart to beat either at a faster or a slower rate. Although the way all of the chemical signals interact to affect your heart rate is complex, the net result is that these signals tell the SA node to fire charges at either a faster or slower pace, resulting in a faster or a slower heart rate.
For example, during periods of exercise, when the body requires more oxygen to function, signals from your body cause your heart rate to increase significantly to deliver more blood (and therefore more oxygen) to the body. Your heart rate can increase beyond 100 beats per minute to meet your body's increased needs during physical exertion.
Similarly, during periods of rest or sleep, when the body needs less oxygen, the heart rate decreases. Some athletes actually may have normal heart rates well below 60 because their hearts are very efficient and don't need to beat as fast. Changes in your heart rate, therefore, are a normal part of your heart's effort to meet the needs of your body. Your heart rate is only considered abnormal if it is beating too fast or too slow.

POSTED: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 - 8:17am
UPDATED: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 - 8:27am
(CNN) — A U.S. Coast Guard aircrew member on a surveillance jet suffered temporary vision problems when a laser pointer aimed at the plane filled the cabin with blinding light on approach to Corpus Christi International Airport, the agency said Tuesday.
The incident happened Monday, the Coast Guard said in a news release.
"The laser directly hit one of our crew members while conducting an instrument approach and it filled the cockpit with a blinding light. We had to conduct an emergency landing and one of our crew members was sent to the Bay Area Emergency Room," aircraft commander Lt. Philip Thisse said in the release.
The unidentified crew member was expected to make a full recovery, the Coast Guard said.
Monday's incident is the third of its type since June for aircrews stationed at Coast Guard Air Station Corpus Christi, the Coast Guard said. A nearby Navy air station has reported two other incidents, it said.
Targeting aircraft with lasers is a federal crime punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Catfish re-release of two classic albums by Don Walker
The two Catfish albums, Unlimited Address and Ruby, were the first albums by Don Walker after a long hiatus post the break-up of Cold Chisel. Catfish was a recording outfit centred around Don, guitar player/producer/engineer Peter Walker and harmonica virtuoso Dave Blight. With the release of Unlimited Address Walker toured with a live version of Catfish, also featuring Dave Blight on harmonica and Charlie Owen on guitar.
Unlimited Address, originally released in 1989, showed a different style of Walker's song writing, reflecting his years travelling after Cold Chisel wrapped up in 1983. The record is a weird amalgam of torch songs, Eastern European cabaret and funk, with titles like "One Night In Soviet Russia", "Subway" and "Pre-war Blues".
The two singles, "When You Dance" and "In The Early Hours" were further produced and mixed by Chris Lord Alge in New York. For this re-release Phil Punch has remixed "One Night In Soviet Russia" and "Subway", and the album has been re-mastered by Don Bartley.
21 years on, Unlimited Address remains a durable and timeless masterpiece. You hear not only Don Walker's extraordinary songs, but you can't help but be taken back to the times and places they captured.
Ruby, originally released in 1991, is an altogether Australian affair, with Walker returning to the sound and lyrical content he and his mates were working with in Cold Chisel. There's no cabaret, nothing European. The landscapes and spaces of Walker's later solo recordings were beginning to form.
>From the Kings Cross of the title track, "Too Long" and "El Alamein Blues" to the outback tales of "Johnny's Gone", "Jericho Road" and "Charleville", this is Australia in the late eighties.
The Catfish trio of Walker, Walker and Blight was augmented for this album by Paul Robert Burton's rockabilly bass, and James Brown's rhythm section of Tony Cook on drums and Ron Laster on guitar.
The song 'Charleville' was later to receive country music awards when it was covered by Australian legend, Slim Dusty, who also invited Don Walker to sing and film a duet of the song that's still played on country music channels today.
For the re-release of Ruby "Crooked Smile" was partly re-recorded, "Johnny's Gone" and "See You Again" were remixed by Phil Punch, and the whole album has been remastered by Don Bartley. As with Unlimited Address, the cover artwork and booklet have been completely redesigned from Tim Baur's original photo-reels.
Unlimited Address and Ruby are available through MGM Distribution

Al-Azhar Park
Cairo, Egypt
Contributed by Project for Public Spaces
A new hilltop park in the midst of one of Cairos most interesting neighborhoods.
Why It Works
In transforming such a large part of Cairo, which was for so long used as an open dump, the impact of Al-Azhar Park on the city is tremendous. It has been planned with a multitude of activities in mind and incorporates a conceptualised hilltop lookout kiosk, a children's play area, an amphitheatre and stage, playing fields, a viewing plaza and a historical wall promenade.
What Makes Al-Azhar Park a Great Place?
As a tool for improving the aesthetic and overall safety/comfort of the neighbourhood, the Al-Ahzar Park development project inlcudes a microcredit program for neighbouring residents to restore dwellings and improve existing/found new businesses.
The park not only provides recreation space for 15 million + residents of Cairo but also vistas of the city that have never been observed before.
Creating this park entailed restoring several historical monuments in the adjacent Darb Al Ahmar community and included social programs for this poor, overpopulated neighborhood, which used to be frequented by drug dealers.
These programs include employment, training and healthcare services, and were undertaken with the belief that the people of Cairo are the key to the park's sustainability.
History & Background
Al-Azhar Park on Al-Darassa spans 30 hectares and was opened in 2005 by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture's Historic Cities Programme to act as a 'green lung' for the city, as its largest designed greenspace.
Previously a municipal rubbish dump (for about 500 years), approximately 80,000 truckload of debris had to be removed before construction started and in the process a 12th century Ayyubid city wall of Cairo that was built during the reign of Salah el-Din, as well as some valuable stones with hieroglyphic texts were uncovered!

From the Editor - Traps? Who Needs Them?
Our reader surveys consistently show that a lot of our readers are still running, and even developing code for, non-Linux operating systems. Whatever system you're coding for today, you can use Linux as your development platform and give yourself the flexibility of moving to Linux tomorrow.
In a recent essay entitled "Free But Shackled—The Java Trap", Richard Stallman wrote, "If you develop a Java program on Sun's Java platform, you are liable to use Sun-only features without even noticing. By the time you find this out, you may have been using them for months, and redoing the work could take more months." That's bad news, but platform lock-in isn't only for Java developers. So build and run your projects on an all-free system regularly to save yourself from accidental lock-in as you work. We're happy to offer four complete cross-platform sample applications in this issue.
First, Python is one of our favorite languages here at Linux Journal. Its simplicity makes old code, and other people's code, easy to understand and maintain. Let David Reed's GladeGen (page 40) write the GUI code for you, so you can focus on business logic.
The best development frameworks are the ones that grow cooperatively with an application that depends on them. Mozilla is a good example. Don't get Mozilla the browser mixed up with Mozilla the framework—work through Nigel McFarlane's process viewer utility on page 66 to understand how to use Mozilla's framework to write non-Web applications.
As dedicated followers of fashion, we're happy to have a blog tool written with the .NET-compatible Mono. Ian Pointer shows how it's done and scores two buzzword points on page 50.
If you need to develop for Microsoft Windows, you can save yourself the expense and learning time of another set of development tools. Joey Bernard's article on MinGW (page 58) shows you how to add Windows support to your Linux apps or bring Windows apps to Linux with minimal rewriting.
Finally, on page 83, John Healy, Andrew Haley and Tom Tromey explain how Red Hat made the popular Eclipse integrated development environment build natively with no Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and no proprietary dependencies, at all. Maybe Java developers are finally getting the hang of this cross-platform thing. Stay out of traps, don't fall for lock-in, and enjoy the issue.
Don Marti is editor in chief of Linux Journal.
Re: From the Editor--July 2004: Traps? Who Needs Them?
Well, RMS's "Platform Lockin" is really very much a misnomer though. There are almost no "Sun Only" features in Java, and the "Sun" JVM for Linux *IS* the Blackdown JVM, so if you are using "Sun Only" code, you are still using "Free" code too.
Frankly, I find RMS's whole series of poorly argued rants against Java to be centered more out of his personal philosophy than anything else. And frankly, for all the talk about open source Java, I has a developer who works in Java, and certainly uses a laundry list of open source Java tools and APIs every day, think its better that the core Java specification remain tightly controlled by Sun, even with the JSR process. Microsoft KNEW forking Java with J++ would kill it, and Sun successfully staved that off. The last thing we need are *real* forks in the language cause by a thousand partial implementations or extended features.
Re: From the Editor--July 2004: Traps? Who Needs Them?
I agree. We do not want Java (or JVM) forks. However, we would like to have a strong Desktop-oriented J2SE platform, that will allow us to work on Linux and Windows, and moreover, to have the feature of native compilation. That will be the win-win future of Java, and lose-lose for other (.Niet and other cheap single platform imitations...).
Jonathan Levi.
Re: From the Editor--July 2004: Traps? Who Needs Them?
You sound like Gosling. That's not a good thing.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

This little fish is a "messenger of Peace". It's painted in the colours of peace and it's saying "Make peace not war!" It could be named "Peace messenger", "Herald of peace", "Peace fish", "Fish of peace", or something fun like "Bohemian fish", "Bohofish", "Hippie fish".
And we are talking about peace...it could be named "The Planet Earth messenger", "Herald of the Earth", because the message of the Planet Earth is "Stop killing The Planet Earth!". Must be peace and harmony between humans and the Earth.

"Harmony fish", "Ocean harmony" or only "Harmony".

We ask our heavenly Father to break the bondage that has overtaken the soul of Steve. The devil will enter a soul and cast a stronghold through our weakened spirits...we pray that God will intervene and expel the dark one's hold on Steve, that He will restore his soul, mind and body...will save him from destruction and bring peace to his family and all who love and worry for him. There is no greater burden than to watch your child, brother, sister, loved one, be held hostage by addiction. We pray for Steve, but please seek help for him...for you all, as a family. Help him find God, for He is there for all who seek Him and need His help. Find him help, someone (a pastor, counselor...friend) whom he will trust to guide him towards God. He can be saved...he will be saved..we will pray for that. |

Missing painter's family tells Action News the body pulled from the Detroit River is their loved one
DETROIT, Mich. (WXYZ) - The family of Kent Morton tells 7 Action News Reporter Michael Rosenfield that the body found in the Detroit River Friday is that of their loved one.
Morton had been missing since falling from the Ambassador Bridge in January.
The body was spotted near Zug Island.
Shane Morton, Kent's brother, raced to Riverside Park as word spread that a body had been spotted in the water.
He then went to the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office where he was allowed to see the body.
"I just went in there and I saw him," Shane told 7 Action News. "I could tell by his facial features, his nose, that it was him."
Clothes on Kent's body also helped with the identification.
"I got to talk to him in there," Shane said. "I said hello to him for everybody."
Kent Morton vanished below the water after falling from the Ambassador Bridge. He had been been painting the bridge with co-workers when the accident happened.
Shane tells 7 Action News his brother was not wearing a harness at the time. This is the first time this has been confirmed.
Shane Morton says he is relieved his brother has been found, and the family can move on while always remembering the man they loved so much.
"I do feel a huge sense of relief right now," Shane said.
His 28-year-old brother left behind a large family, including a daughter and another child on the way.
The Morton family is expressing their gratitude to the people who spotted the body today, as well as to the Coast Guard and Detroit Police.
The Mortons are also thankful to the staff at the Medical Examiner's office for allowing them to see the body so quickly.
Meantime, MIOSHA is still investigating the accident.
As 7 Action News has previously reported, the company Morton worked for had been cited in the past.
The company, Seaway Painting L.L.C., is based in Livonia.

E.L.F. Eyebrow Kit
Average Rating 4.3/5 |
Review by ogsparklez
First of all I have really thick eyebrows, but I once got them waxed too thin/skinny and I needed a product that would fill them in! I've tried other E.L.F products before and it SUCH good makeup for it to be so cheap. I'm surprised I haven't seen any advertising for it yet. Or have I been sleeping under a rock? Anyway, the steps for this eyebrow kit are as simple as A, B, C and 1, 2, 3! The cream/gel product (on the left side of the compact) goes on really nice & smooth, my only complaint about that is--I don't know if it was the product itself or the brush you use for it-- I had to use a good amount to get it to actually show on my brows (while trying to lengthen them--basically drawing with it) And the powder, which is the product you use to hold in the cream/gel is really nice. Just be cautious of how much of the powder you use because if you use too much your eyebrows will look very dull. But if used the right way your eyebrows really do turn out great! It lasts all day and gives a natural look. People couldn't even tell that I drew on half of my eyebrows! I'd surely recommend this E.L.F eyebrow kit! Kudos to E.L.F!

The all-purpose Mac PDF editor!
Edit scanned documents on your Mac or on the go! Take advantage of the power of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) in PDFpen for Mac and PDFpen Scan+ on your iPad or iPhone.
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is the process of converting a bitmap image of text (like a scanned document) into text that can be selected, copied and searched by PDFpen and other text editing software. PDFpen for Mac uses the OmniPage OCR engine, which is recognized for its accuracy.
For more info, see Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in Wikipedia.
"If you're looking for a way to convert already-scanned documents to usable text without rescanning, PDFpen's OCR software may be a viable alternative to costly standalone OCR packages." - Macworld, 4 mice
1. Open a scanned PDF in PDFpen, or scan your document using PDFpen's "Import from Scanner" command.
2. An alert box opens with the message "This document appears to be scanned. Would you like to perform optical character recognition (OCR) on it? OCR will allow you to select the text."
3. Click on "OCR Page" or "OCR Document" to start the OCR.
Once OCR is complete, the text generated by the OCR operation can be searched and edited like any other text.
The quality of the original document affects the quality of the OCR performance. Crisp, clean originals with clear text will produce much better results than crumpled, faded photocopies.
Before performing OCR, use PDFpen's "Deskew and Adjust Image" command to straighten the image and to adjust image contrast and exposure for optimal OCR results.
Documents in a standard paper size, like US letter, work best. Documents with large pages, like architectural plans, do not OCR very well.
OCR technology does not always produce perfect results. You do need to proofread and edit the text that results from OCR
Once you run OCR on a document, the text becomes recognizable as text and can be copied and pasted into a word processing app.
Once you have run OCR, you will see a blue overlay of the OCR results. Tap the document to make the preview appear or disappear. Youcan also acces the preview through the "OCR" menu.
A good clean scan will get the best OCR results. To take a good scan, make sure the document is well lit. The grid lines included in the camera view will help you keep the document lined up. Whether you have taken a new scan, or have opened a PDF, if it is dim or blurry go to the edit screens and increase the contrast and brightness of your scanned document so that the text is as legible as possible.

Early in 1942 volunteers were called for from the Royal Marines for the first RM Commando. It was known as 'A'Commando, which in October 1942 changed it's name to 40RM Commando. It was to be the only RM Commando unit consisting purely of 'volunteers' as in the Army Commandos. In the same month (Oct'42) the 8th RM Battalion was disbanded and those who passed the training formed a new 41RM Commando. In August 1943 further RM Battalions were disbanded in order to raise new RM Commandos. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 9th and 10th RM Battalions became 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 and 47 RM Commandos respectively. In March 1944 the 7th RM Battalion and some men from MNBDO11 formed the new 48RM Commando. It should be noted that RM Commando Units underwent Commando training at Achnacarry. Those that were not suitable, who did not wish to transfer to the RM Commandos, or who failed the Course at Achnacarry, were allocated to other sections of the Royal Marines ** nb** We also have albums for RM Commandos in our "Post WW2" Gallery.

Our EKB (Enterprise Kanban Board) has gone through 5 major revisions over the last year. We started our using a traditional Kanban board to measure flow and on-boarded all work across all departments.
Originally we were tracking projects only and then expanded into tracking MMFs (minimal marketable features) with the goal of figure out our capacity and throughput.
We wanted to get to a state where teams would be able to establish a monthly throughput and them long-term plan accordingly. What was actually happening was that teams were shoving features into the schedule based on due dates. So if their throughput was actually 4 features per month but they needed 38 to meet the schedule, they'd cram 38 in "1 month away".
Over the year it's been re-built 4 times and tweaked often. At one point we purposely let it die because no one was getting any value out of it or using it. One day one of the managers thought it would be great if we could visualize all the releases that were coming up and voila! EKB was re-born and back like a bad rash! Continue reading

Hi, I've got two problems with the engine on my Focus and looking for help and advice. Its a 2.0i Zetec esp petrol with 96000 miles.
First problem is that when starting the engine fires but won't tickover and stalls unless the throttle is slightly depressed, and I need to keep the throttle open slightly even once the engine is warm otherwise the engine cuts out, and when driving it feels like the car is being held back.
However once I have driven the car for about 8 miles I get a sudden burst of power and everything seems fine except that if I come to a stop, the revs flare up dispite having taken my foot off the accelerator. The revs rise to 2500 to 4000 revs, stay there for a few seconds then drop back to a normal idle and everything is then fine. When driving I can take my foot off the accelerator and the engine revs dont drop.
Second problem is that I had a water leak from the thermostat which I had repaired, but when I drove in traffic I had the smell of boiling water coming through the vents. Couldn't see any leaks anywhere, then got stuck behind a tractor going up a very steel hill at 2 mph, so was on and off the throttle. Once I got past and drove for a few miles, I tried to accelerate from traffic lights and the engine started to stall, I dipped the clutch and gave the engine some revs and it kept going, but whenever I changed gear or let the revs drop then tried to accelerate, it would take 2-3 seconds to get any power from the engine, and just didn't have any acceleration.
I nursed it home and left it overnight but when starting all I got was the starter motor spinning. I called the rac who did a compression test and the readings on all cylinders was 4-5 on his gauge.
Would this be the head gasket that has failed or something else?
Also another minor problem is that the fan to blow air into the car only works on the highest position (4) and none of the other positions. Is this a fuse problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.

BackBox Linux. Bypass The Security: Wireless Hacking Basics. 1) Stations and Access Points : A wireless network interface card (adapter) is a device, called a station, providing the network physical layer over a radio link to another station.
An access point (AP) is a station that provides frame distribution service to stations associated with it. The AP itself is typically connected by wire to a LAN. Essential Wireless Hacking Tools. By Daniel V.
Hoffman, CISSP, CWNA, CEH Anyone interested in gaining a deeper knowledge of wireless security and exploiting vulnerabilities will need a good set of base tools with which to work. Fortunately, there are an abundance of free tools available on the Internet.

Test::Kwalitee - test the Kwalitee of a distribution before you release it
version 1.18
# in a separate test file BEGIN { unless ($ENV{RELEASE_TESTING}) { use Test::More; plan(skip_all => 'these tests are for release candidate testing'); } } use Test::Kwalitee;
Kwalitee is an automatically-measurable gauge of how good your software is. That's very different from quality, which a computer really can't measure in a general sense. (If you can, you've solved a hard problem in computer science.)
In the world of the CPAN, the CPANTS project (CPAN Testing Service; also a funny acronym on its own) measures Kwalitee with several metrics. If you plan to release a distribution to the CPAN -- or even within your own organization -- testing its Kwalitee before creating a release can help you improve your quality as well.
and a short test file will do this for you automatically.
Create a test file as shown in the synopsis. Run it. It will run all of the potential Kwalitee tests on the current distribution, if possible. If any fail, it will report those as regular diagnostics.
If you ship this test, it will not run for anyone else, because of the RELEASE_TESTING
guard. (You can omit this guard if you move the test to xt/release/, which is not run automatically by other users.)
To run only a handful of tests, pass their names to the module in the test
argument (either in the use
directive, or when calling import
use Test::Kwalitee tests => [ qw( use_strict has_tests ) ];
To disable a test, pass its name with a leading minus (-
use Test::Kwalitee tests => [ qw( -use_strict has_readme ));
The list of each available metric currently available on your system can be obtained with the kwalitee-metrics
command (with descriptions, if you pass --verbose
or -v
, but as of Test::Kwalitee 1.09 and Module::CPANTS::Analyse 0.92, the tests include:
Does the distribution have a build tool file?
Does the distribution have a changelog?
Is there a LICENSE
section in documentation, and/or a LICENSE file present?
Is there license information in any of the source files?
Does the distribution have a MANIFEST?
Does the distribution have a META.yml file?
Does the distribution have a README file?
Does the distribution have tests?
Does META.yml conform to any recognised META.yml specification? (For specs see http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-current.html)
Can the META.yml be parsed?
Is the distribution using an old version of Module::Install? Versions of Module::Install prior to 0.89 do not detect correctly that CPAN
shell is used.
Does the distribution use an obsolete version of Module::Install? Versions of Module::Install prior to 0.61 might not work on some systems at all. Additionally if the Makefile.PL uses the auto_install()
feature, you need at least version 0.64. Also, 1.04 is known to be broken.
Does the distribution have no symlinks?
Does the distribution files all use strict?
With thanks to CPANTS and Thomas Klausner, as well as test tester Chris Dolan.
