Geographic Range
Two isolated populations of European bison (Bison bonasus), also known as wisent or European wood bison, occur in the Bialowieza forest. Since World War II, populations have been divided by international borders. European bison herds, scattered across Central and Eastern Europe, represent two genetic lines: the lowland line (Poland, Belarus, and Lithuania) and the lowland-Caucasian line (southern Poland, Russia, Ukraine and Slovakia). Historically European bison were found in all lowlands of Europe extending from the Pyrenees to Southern Sweden and the Caucasus. All wild populations of European bison went extinct due to overhunting and habitat loss. Captive bison were bred and reintroduced and have since increased to approximately 3000 animals, 1500 of which occur in about 30 free ranging herds. (Krasinska, et al., 2000; Kuemmerle, et al., 2011)
- Biogeographic Regions
- palearctic
European Bison are commonly found in broad-leaved or mixed forests in a mosaic-type landscape. Deciduous forest types tend to be the most favorable. All European bison populations inhabit ranges that include open areas, such as mown meadows, deforested glades covered with grass, clear cuts, and young plantations up to ten years old. Lowland forests tend to be dominated by oak and mixed oak-pine forests. In some sites, fir and beech stands with a considerable mixture of spruce dominate bison habitat. In all bison ranges, damages to agricultural crops have been reported to reveal the presence of herds in agricultural-dominated landscapes (Kuemmerle, et al., 2010; Kuemmerle, et al., 2011; NA, 2012)

Physical Description
European bison are the largest native herbivores in Europe. Their appearance is very similar to North American bison although they are smaller in stature and have a longer mane on the forehead and beneath the neck. The coat is also less shaggy than American bison and varies in color from golden brown to dark brown. European bison reach a length of about 2.9 meters and a height of about 1.8 to 1.95 meters. They typically weigh from 800 to 1,000 kg. The hump formed by spinal processes of the thoracic vertebrae surrounded by powerful muscles is more developed in males than female bison. Sexual dimorphism becomes pronounced at age three and extends throughout life. (NA, 2012)

In the pre-rutting period (July through October), reproductively active bulls are rarely present in the group. During this period, sexually active bulls display limited sexual behavior such as sniffing external sexual organs of cows and flehmen. Starting in July, reproductively active bulls join mixed herds with cows. Smaller groups are typically made up of 10 to 12 individuals typically including only one adult bull more than six years of age (sexually mature) and 1 to 3 bulls that do not take part in reproduction. In large groups there may be more than one bull, which intensifies sexual behavior of bulls in the rutting period. If a group is approached by another sexually mature bull during the rutting period, the dominant bull may fight. In the presence of a cow in rut, the dominant bull will approach her and isolate her from the group accompanying her while hardly eating and resting. This is known as a tending bond. The bull will accompany the cow until copulation occurs. (Krasinski and Raczynski, 1967)
- Mating System
- polygynous
The rutting season in free-range European bison populations occurs July through October. The gestation period typically lasts 254 to 277 days (264 days on average). European bison give birth to one calf at a time, twins are rarely observed in populations on reserves. The calf stands 22 to 45 minutes following birth and suckling usually begins within the first hour. In free-ranging populations, cows leave the herd for the period of parturition and return with the calf a few days after birth. The calving period usually occurs from May through July. Bulls found on reserves reach sexual maturity in the second year of their life while bulls on free-ranging population tend to reach sexual maturity in the third year of life. Young bulls ranging from 4 to 6 years old that are sexually mature do not take part in reproduction for behavioral reasons. The breeding period in bulls is short and usually lasts form the 6th to the 12th year of life. Cows usually reach sexual maturity in the 3rd year of life giving birth to their 1st calf the 4th year. Females can give birth until the end of life although the upper age of birth for cows is about 15 years (18 to 20 years). Sexual dimorphism in European bison develops gradually during the postnatal period, becomes pronounced at the age of 3 and is maintained until death. Physical development ends at 5 years in cows and 6 years in bulls. (Cabon-Raczynski, et al., 1987; Krasinski and Raczynski, 1967; Pucek, et al., 2003)

European bison cows leave the herd for a few days to give birth. Following birth, the mother will carefully lick the calf while it slowly begins to stand and walk. In the first few days of life, calves typically spend most of their time lying down while their mothers are feeding with the group. At one month of age, calves are able to move efficiently and will forage near their mothers. The youngest calves stick close to their mothers while the older calves spend time in the middle of the group. Suckling occurs on the signal of the cow who will frequently utter characteristic sounds to alert the calf. If the cow has no new offspring in the 2nd year, calves continue to suckle. When the cow comes into rut again she will avoid suckling during the rutting period and stop milking, losing interest in her calf. The calf may also be chased away by the tending bull.

In captive breeding, bulls tend to reach the age of 20 and cows have been known to live up to the age of 28. The oldest known marked cow from a free-ranging herd lived to be 24 years old. Bulls in free-ranging populations do not live longer than 14 to 16 years. (Pucek, et al., 2003)

Daily activity of European bison is typical of ruminants with phases of foraging, alternating with resting and rumination. During the summer, bison spend 60% of their daily activity on feeding, 30% on resting, and the remaining 10% on roaming without feeding. In the winter, European bison are typically supplemented with hay and spend 30% of their activity feeding and 60% roaming. Herds typically include mixed groups containing cows, young aged 2 to 3, calves, and adult bulls as well as bull groups. The size of mixed groups is environment-dependent and on average consists of 8 to 13 animals. Sometimes European bison foraging in open areas form larger groups of 23 individuals. Bull groups are always small usually composing of 2 animals on average while greater than half of the bulls lead a solitary life. Groups of European bison are not family units and the size and structure of mixed groups change because of seasonal or behavioral reasons (calving, joining bulls in the rutting period). Young bulls move between groups most frequently. Movement across habitats is correlated with feeding activity and food supply. In winter, the majority of bison gather around feeding sites and form large mixed aggregations. (Pucek, et al., 2003)

- terricolous

Home Range
The home range size of bulls is correlated with their age. Bulls that are 5 to 6 years old have an average home range of 44 square kilometers, while older bulls (over 6 years) have a home range of 84.3 square kilometers. Bulls living in forests have the largest home ranges at 136.5 to 151.6 square kilometers. The maximum home range size of cows is approximately 100 square kilometers. Winter home ranges of bulls at 10.7 square kilometers are larger than that of cows at 7.9 square kilometers. Winter range sizes are correlated with snow cover and winter temperature. European bison ranges are not defended and commonly overlap. (Pucek, et al., 2003)
Communication and Perception
European bison are social animals. They are found in mixed groups and bull groups. Groups of European bison are not family units, the size and structure of mixed groups changes for seasonal and behavioral reasons. Groups meet frequently, combine, and then split, exchanging some individuals. (NA, 2012)
- Other Communication Modes
- pheromones
Food Habits
In winters of continuous snow cover, European bison are supplemented hay offered in racks. During this time, their basic food consists of 90.4% grasses, sedges and herbs, with 9.5% trees and shrubs as supplementary food. In the spring the bison eat 88.2% grasses, sedges, and herbs and 11.2% trees and shrubs. In the summer their diet consists of grasses, sedges, and herbs and 13% trees and shrubs. In Autumn, 93.2% grasses, sedges and herbs and 6.7% trees and shrubs make up their diet. Mosses, horsetails, fens and fungi combined account for 0.1 to 0.7% of the rumen capacity, depending on the season. In some conditions, trees are preferred and when supplementary hay is provided, the bison continue to eat twigs and bark. In combination, European bison feed principally on grasses, sedges, and herbs (about 90% of their diet) and supplement it with tree food (about 10% of their diet). (Gebczynska, et al., 1991)
- Plant Foods
- leaves
- wood, bark, or stems
- flowers

European bison have no natural predators. The main causes of mortality include disease and injuries (21% each) as well as senescence and poaching which are each 7% on average. (Mysterud, et al., 2007; Pucek, et al., 2003)
Ecosystem Roles
Supplementary feeding is used in the management of European Bison in order to prevent environmental damage, particularly damage to commercial and native forests. Foresters are largely convinced that these bison have a destructive impact on tree stands. Bison however are physiologically adapted to grazing rather than browsing. Foraging by large herbivores like the European bison can regulate both the recruitment and composition of tree stands in temperate forests. In untouched forests, an abundance of ungulates can result in a greater density of forest regeneration and well as an increase in biodiversity. European bison are important dispersal agents of seeds in forest ecosystems; around 178 vascular plant species are dispersed by bison. Bison can also be responsible for the spread of invasive species in forests most likely consumed through supplemental feeding. (Jaroszewicz, et al., 2009; Kowalczyk, et al., 2011)
- Ecosystem Impact
- disperses seeds
- creates habitat
- keystone species
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Ecotourism can be used to create additional opportunities for long-term local profits especially in areas with high crop depredation by the European bison. Around 140,000 visitors come to the Bialowieza forest each year to see the bison which is becoming a driver of local development. Although foresters are convinced that bison may damage important commercial tree stands, bison mainly impact tree species of lower economic value, making their impact insignificant in the forest. The species of trees consumed by bison are very different than the species used in timber exploitation. (Hoffman-Kaminska and Kowalczyk, 2012; Kowalczyk, et al., 2011)
- Positive Impacts
- ecotourism
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
In many parts of the world, large wild herbivores can have a major impact on the environment and contribute to many wildlife-human conflicts. Large ungulates, such as European bison, often encounter conflicts with domestic animals over space and food and can cause crop depredation as well as the transmission of diseases. With urbanization, habitat fragmentation, and habitat in proximity to human settlements and farms, it is difficult for large ungulates of the world to be managed for human-wildlife conflict. About 70% of European bison that were reintroduced to forest habitat have expanded into open oftentimes agriculture habitat. Supplementary feeding and culling of the herd is used by managers to keep bison in forest habitat and minimize damage to agriculture and tree stands. In 2010, just over 90,000 Euros were paid to farmers in compensation for crop damage by bison, and that number continues to rise each year. Despite efforts to compensate farmers, the reintroduction of bison and their continued presence is not fully accepted by local communities. As European bison continue to expand, human-bison conflict is expected to increase in the future. In countries such as Belarus, Russia and Ukraine where bison crop depredation exists and compensation is not offered to farmers, there is general low acceptance of the European bison and sometimes a decline in its population due to uncontrolled hunting and poaching. (Hoffman-Kaminska and Kowalczyk, 2012)

Conservation Status
There are two genetic lines of European bison, the lowland line (B. b. bonasus) and the lowland-Caucasian line (B. b. caucasicus and B. b. bonasus). The lowland line is listed as Vulnerable D1 under the IUCN Red list and is currently increasing. The lowland-Caucasian line is listed as Endangered C1+2a. All subpopulations of this line have fewer than 250 individuals. European bison are an excellent example of the way in which a species can be brought to the brink of extinction in a short period and then saved through great efforts. Threats to European bison include habitat fragmentation due to agricultural activity, logging, and unlimited hunting and poaching. The over-population of deer species and the reduction of natural food resources for herbivores is likely the cause of some population declines at the beginning of the 19th century. Inbreeding depression, disease, hybridization, and poaching continue to threaten reintroduced herds. After passing through a genetic bottleneck with just 12 founder individuals of the current population, the gene pool of current bison populations is very limited and they are highly inbred. The negative effects of their genetics include a lowered reproduction rate, a harmful effect on skeleton growth, and a lowered immune resistance against disease and pathogens. Hybridization with American bison has occurred in herds in the Caucasus Mountains, especially in close proximity to reintroduced pure lowland-Caucasian line bison herds. Fear of hybridization between the two herds continues. The failure of enforcing conservation laws and a general dislike of the reintroduced bison because of crop depredation has contributed to an increase in poaching as well. Conservation measures include the continuance of the captive breeding program in order to maintain genetic variability, establishing a gene resource bank, continued reintroductions with a target of 3,000 free ranging animals in order to maintain genetic diversity, the linkage of isolated populations, the regulation of populations by culling when necessary, and the implementation of stricter regulations to control poaching.

Let's take at the global electric piano modeling parameters in EVP88. So I'm going to open up the hood. Then up here I can choose what our electric piano model is. EVP88 models ten Fender Rhodes pianos, four different Wurlitzer, and one Hohner electric piano. So I can scroll through those models here. So I can listen to them. Each one reacts a little bit differently. (music playing) So hear some of the Wurlitzers. That one's nice. (music playing) We've got this soft Wurlitzer here, and there is a couple more, and here is the Hohner model. (music playing) It's one of my favorites. And then there are a few others in here.
So in addition to selecting the model, you can also adjust the polyphony of the entire instrument. So right now it's set to 16 voices, but I can set this all the way to 88 voices. Here I have a fine-tuning adjustment, so I can tune the entire instrument plus or minus 50 cents. So now that we've looked through the piano models, in the next video let's explore customizing our electric piano using the model parameters.

NCAA Basketball Pick – December 21st
Another team from the depths of the college basketball betting world will prove to be nothing but fodder for the No. 6 Indiana Hoosiers on Friday night, as they take on the Florida Atlantic Owls at Assembly Hall.
FAU knows that this is a game that is all about the payday and not about even remotely competing. The club shoots just 39.3 percent from the floor as a team, and that isn't going to cut it in the Sun Belt, let alone against one of the best teams in the Big East this year. G Greg Gantt is literally all that the team has to bring to the table. Gantt is the team's leader in scoring at 21.5 points per game and is one of the top rebounders on the team as well with 5.8 per night. G Stefan Moody is averaging 15.0 points per game as well, but no one else on the club is good for more than 7.1 points per game. Tis the life of a middling Sun Belt squad though, and this is merely a chance for Gantt to strut his stuff in front of the rest of the nation.
Meanwhile, Indiana is still reeling from its first loss of the season to the Butler Bulldogs, one that knocked it down five spots in the Top 25 rankings. Vengeance was sweet against Mount St. Mary's on Wednesday night though, as the team took out its frustration on the poor Mountaineers with a 93-54 victory in a game that was never even remotely close. This is the top scoring team in the nation at 89.2 points per game, and it would seem disappointing not to see at least 90 come on the board in this one against FAU. Gantt might be the top scorer on the court, and Moody might be the third highest scorer on the court, but the other top five scorers are all going to be wearing red and white. What's scary is that we still haven't seen the best play yet this year out of F Cody Zeller, G Victor Oladipo, F Will Sheehey, F Christian Watford, and G Jordan Hulls yet. These men are routinely playing just around 25 minutes per night and then hitting the bench for some of the secondary players, but that is going to change in the Big Ten portion of the slate. This should be nothing more than another beat down against a team that doesn't deserve to be on the same court with IU.
We love what the Hoosiers are bringing to the table in this one. They really haven't taken any prisoners over the course of the start of the season, and there's no reason to think that any of that should start right now either. Go with the Hoosiers and lay anywhere up to about 35 points or so against the Owls on Friday night. Indiana 92 – Florida Atlantic 57

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith says defensive end John Abraham and defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux will be listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC title game against San Francisco.
Abraham has been bothered by a sprained left ankle but says he will be ready to play. He is the NFL's active sacks leader with 122 in his 13-year career. Abraham led the Falcons with 10 sacks and finished the regular season with seven pass breakups.
Babineaux, who has a sore shoulder, finished the regular season with 3.5 sacks, five pass breakups, and one interception.
Strong safety William Moore (hand) and cornerback Christopher Owens (hamstring) are listed as probable.

Perhaps the battery has sulphated try jump starting it with jumper cables as the batty may just be at the end of its life. Check that the cables are clean tight and secure and inspect for rodent damage to wiring if the car has just sat for a prolonged period of time. - patrick mannion

Maria Lladó 2
Was the last home a little too over the top for you? Can you bear just a soupçon more of Maria Lladó? Of course you want more. I know I do.
Was the last home a little too over the top for you? Can you bear just a soupçon more of Maria Lladó? Of course you want more. I know I do.
Drama can sometimes be an understatement. Welcome to the over the top but carefully curated world of Barcelona based designer Maria Lladó. Queen of the vignette, lover of chairs, doyenne of the eclectic. The home as theatre or is that theatre set? Either way i love it. Just how I would live if I could.
I had to share these 2 beautiful homes I found on Nuevo Estilo - both are in tune to my architecture and interior design obsessions. This first one I adore - a rustic farmhouse in the country (located in the town of Sant Martí Vell, Girona) that is furnished with antiques mostly from the mid-late 90's. The juxtaposition of eras makes this home so eclectic and intriguing. (Details here)
It is really unfortunate that Barcelona is no where near Ottawa because I would LOVE to check out this restaurant in person (and maybe even try a burger while I'm there). Alex of Blanco Azabache Interiorismo thought we would like to share this latest project of his with you all. It is a burger joint called EL Quiosc. It is an old house in the center of the town of Mataró (Barcelona) that after abandoning the shoemaker who had his workshop there decided to rent my clients to transform into a gourmet burger, with a industrial retro aesthetics (4 rooms, entrance area + the childs playground). As an aficionado of all things industrial, I love what Alex has done with this space. Lots of rustic and industrial touches with a French and Spanish vibe make this a quirky yet fun and inviting restaurant. There are lots of elements I would love in my own home - from every bit of lighting and seating to the hanging terrariums and tile flooring (YES!).
Luis Puerta is an interior designer from Madrid, Spain. He seeks to create spaces that are serene, elegant and timeless. He seems very much influenced by French design, and uses mirrors in his spaces quite often. Take note because his mirror applications are pretty spectacular - such a great way to make a space appear much larger than it is.

PECO is helping prepare the workforce of tomorrow through its active support of educational initiatives with a special focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Education, Math) studies that help students grasp the importance of education to their future.
Philadelphia Academies is PECO's oldest community partnership, focusing on academic and occupational skills for public school students. Established in 1969, with PECO's sponsorship of the first Academy of Applied and Electrical Science, the program now includes more than 30 academies in 14 career areas at 20 of the city's high schools and two middle schools. Since the outset, PECO employees have been actively involved at many levels. Recently, PECO has been working with the Academies to create job opportunities for program graduates, through the "PECO Pipeline for Success." Program support is targeted to increasing the number of youth served by career academies.
FIRST designs accessible, innovative programs to build self-confidence, knowledge and life skills while motivating young people to pursue opportunities in science, technology and engineering. PECO is a 13-year sponsor of Robotics - the world's largest high school robotics competition. Each team uses an identical supply of parts and software to design and build a remote-controlled robot capable of performing a predetermined set of tasks in a competition. The competition provides young people the opportunity to partner with educators and industry professionals. As the students think creatively and work as a team, they also learn about science, mathematics, engineering and technology.
For the past five years, PECO has supported the Asian American Women's Coalition Scholarship scholarship program. Bright and talented young Asian American women receive four-year college scholarships and a new laptop to assist them in their educational endeavors.
In 2007, PECO awarded Lincoln University a two-year partnership grant of $25,000 per year to create the PECO Endowed Arts Scholarship Fund to support minority students who are participating in the Lincoln University Interdisciplinary Cultural Arts program. The partnership was renewed in 2010. Lincoln has entered in a cooperative partnership with The Barnes Foundation that will create a curriculum to study the works of the Barnes collection, art administration, horticulture and art conservation.
PECO has made another Philadelphia first, putting its energy into the arts by partnering with ArtsRising and adopting the ArtsZone in the Olney section of the City in the neighborhoods surrounding Grover T. Washington, Jr. Middle School. ArtsZones are the creation of ArtsRising, and are neighborhoods anchored by schools that connect teachers, students and the community to local quality arts education opportunities. PECO has become the first company to adopt an ArtsZone, adding yet another layer of community outreach and support to help children gain access to high quality arts education and hands on experience.

Is there any possibility to shoot nude pictures with you? No.
Is it ok to shoot nudes? No.
How about to shoot some nude pictures? No.
Nude? No.
So I hope you got this like some sort of a joke. I didn't mean any harm by it, just trying to make myself clear. :)

The vault turned out to be empty, as have so many of the claims from the TV talk show host. Yet, stories such as these, devoid of factual content, haven't stood in the way of Rivera's rise to television fame.

The North Face Men's Convertible Pant
Although these are men's hiking pants/shorts, the small/regular are a perfect and flattering fit for my 5'4 & 125lb female frame. The first pair I purchased 5 years ago are still in excellent condition. Preparing for our upcoming hike to Glacier NP, I was excited about finding the same item and glad that North Face has not changed one thing about these perfect convertible pants.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mylan Inc. (NYSE: MYL) today announced that it and its subsidiary Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. have entered into an agreement to settle pending litigation with UCB Societe Anonyme and UCB Pharma Inc. (collectively, UCB) relating to Levetiracetam Tablets, 250mg, 500mg and 750mg, the generic version of UCB's Keppra(R).
Litigation between Mylan and UCB has been pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia since March 2004. The lawsuit involved U.S. Patent No. 4,943,639, which expires on July 14, 2008.
Pursuant to the settlement, Mylan has the right to market the 250mg, 500mg and 750mg strengths of Levetiracetam Tablets in the United States on Nov. 1, 2008, provided that UCB obtains pediatric exclusivity for Keppra and Mylan's abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) obtains final approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If granted, pediatric exclusivity relating to the '639 patent would extend to Jan. 14, 2009. Mylan's entry into the market could come sooner than Nov. 1, 2008, if the FDA does not grant UCB pediatric exclusivity. Additional terms of the settlement are confidential, and the agreement is subject to review by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission.
Levetiracetam Tablets had U.S. sales of approximately $742 million for the 12 months ending June 30, 2007, for these three strengths.
This press release includes statements that constitute "forward-looking
statements," including with regard to the settlement agreement and Mylan's

harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

It's a shame the SXC did not come with extra oil in the frame tube like the Adventure and E models... Adding extra oil capacity would be a good idea for what you intend to use the bike for, you could copy the plumbing that the Adventure has and rig a tank or oil cooler into the system... You can tie into the line that comes off the remote oil filter and throw you extra capacity between there and where the line pushes oil into the left side case and into the con rod...
At your current mileage you should be good for another 25,000 before you have to think about any kind of in depth service... Personally I rebuild the water pump and change the intake rocker roller at around 40,000 KM and have found that both of these items still have service life left at that point... On your RTW it would be a good idea to carry these parts in your spares kit as they don't take up much room and you will have them in case you suffer a premature failure...
Your seat will depend on what kind of tank you pick up... The 18 liter tank needs a seat that has the key way front that fits into the tanks molding... If you luck out and find an Adventure 25-28 liter tank then you will need the specific seat for that application... I like the stock comfort seat that came with my 03 Adventure and really had no desire to go aftermarket, but I wondered about it for the first while as it took a long time for the foam to break in...
There really isn't a chronic problem with the frame backbone vent exiting into the airbox... A grossly overfilled engine may cause oil to vent into the box or top end damage can also can cause this condition, other than that I can think of no other case where this happens... If you do notice oil in the box just pull the plug and roll the wheel, the lube in the box will now lube your chain...
He may actually have a frame with oil... In the US they only imported 03-04 SXC's which I have and they lack the quart in the frame reservoir some European and Australian bikes do. He mentioned the word Carnet so Im assuming he is not from North America
I have used both the 18 ltr and 28 ltr (actually I use the 2001 adv tank which has a 30 ltr) and for what you plan I would go with (if you can find it) the 28 liter hardpart acerbis tank. Skip the faring but if you have to then you will have to get the carrier parts and weld a bracket on the head tube then use a oem 28 tank and adventure faring.
as far as wheels
Just buy the 02 LC4 OEM cush wheel complete (and carrier)with the wider DID Dirtstar 2.50 rim . Keep your front .. respring both front and rear.

The Badgers and UND exchange pleasantries at the end of the game. I don't think these two teams were asking each other where they were going to meet after the game. Badger forward Michael Mersch needs to be suspended and I expect that he will when the WCHA reviews this film. There is no way to defend Mersch's actions, that's not acceptable in any league. There is conclusive video evidence that Mersch came off of the bench to engage Steph Pattyn. Lucky for Mersch, the refs saved him from a beat down.

Building Nuke plugins on the Mac, Christmas 2014 edition
Building Nuke plugins on the Mac, Christmas 2014 edition
As 2014 is folding to a fanfare close, we here at julik live would like to take you, dear reader, to 2009. To recap what happened in 2009:
- The Icelandic government and banking system collapse
- Albania and Croatia are admitted to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
- The Treaty of Lisbon comes into force.
- Large Hadron Collider gets reactivated.
- Apple Computer Inc. releases OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard
That last fact is of uttermost importance for us. We are going to time-travel to 2009 to see how life is like in a world where everybody uses systems so old they cannot be obtained legally. To the world of high-end VFX software.
See, I made a Nuke plugin back in the day. Because I really wanted to and I needed it. As faith would have it, I also really wanted to share it because it could be useful for many other VFX artists using SynthEyes -- which I still consider the greatest, fastest and the most affordable 3D tracking package ever.
However that plugin development thing puts me way out of my comfort zone. See, this is C++ we are talking about - but if only. We are also smack in the middle of the DLL hell because, as you might imagine, a plugin for someone else's software is a DLL that you have to build (or a .dylib, or a .so - a shared library for short). Now, 5 years have passed and I somehow managed to maintain a build pipeline for the plugins intact - for quite a long while for example I specifically delayed upgrading from 10.5 just to avoid everything that is related to this dependency hell. Dependency hell in the world of building shared libraries for closed-source hosts is defined as:
- you have to build against system library versions that have the same ABI and same versions
- you have to build with exactly the same compiler
- you have to build against system headers that match the libraries
- you have to build with non-system libraries that match the system libraries. Fancy some boost perhaps? Or some fancy OpenEXR library? Or some image compression libraries? If you do, we need to talk. Trust me, afte going through this ordeal a few times you will reconsider their use and appreciate the zen of doing without.
- you (mostly) have to build with non-system libraries that match the versions used by your host application
That leads to an interesting development cycle. At the beginning of that process, if you are lucky and starting early, you will have a machine that carries somewhat-matching dependency versions for all of the above (or the dependency versions are obtainable). At the beginning you will invariably struggle with obtaining and installing all that stuff since it by definition is going to be obsolete already, but that is mostly manageable. I remember that I didn't have to install anything special back when I was building on 10.5 at the beginning of SyLens' lifetime.More on this...
Why I am still using Jeweler
Rolling Ruby gems is an artistic affair. Fashions change. Sometime ago it was considered fine to edit your
gemspec.rb by hand.
Somewhat later a trend of using Hoe emerged. A little while later Bundler came into
the picture, and it had a command as well to generate gems. Wind a few more years - and the fashion is now to roll with
gem new.
The funny thing about it is that multiple people tend to jump on it and migrate their projects from one gem setup/maintenance system to another. It is just like with haute-couture or testing frameworks -- it is cool as long as you are using the latest one in fashion at the moment. Get distracted for just a couple of months - and you are no longer the fashion club, but a retrograde old bureaucrat stuck in his old ways of doing things.
However, not many people focus on what is way more important in the story of making Ruby gems and makine them actually shine - the stability. Let's go to an example. With my modest portfolio I clock over 20 gems in my decade of doing Ruby for fun and profit. Repeatability is way more important for me in this process than any fashions currently being flung around. In my view, for me as a maintainer of a whole salvo of gems, I need to have a few very simple conditions that are met by whatever tool I use for rolling gems:
- There should be a command I can easily memorise to initialise a blank slate gem, and it should have the right setup in place.
- All tests/specs for the gem should run with
$bundle exec rake, no exceptions.
- I should be able to do a release, including tagging and pushing it to the gem server, with
$bundle exec rake release
- I should not have to edit any files except of the changelog/version to roll such a release. Simple git history /
gitignoreis sufficient.
- The gem set up with that tool of choice has to be runnable by Travis, and for most of my gems I still support Ruby 1.8.7
Having this process helps me by reducing the friction to release gems. When I want to release a library, absolutely the last thing I want to be
worried about is how to streamline the workflow of doing those things. Simply because if I do, each new gem that I release or update is going to
obtain a release process of it's own - it's just like building plugins for expensive post-production applications all over again. Every new version you roll, for any new version of it's dependencies, becomes a unique snowflake - one has a
Gemfile, another one is managed by a manual
gemspec.rb, yet another one assembles itself from
git... and it goes on and on until you have to actually check what kind of release pipeline du jour
has been in effect when you were last twiddling with a certain gem.
The longevity of many of my projects - tracksperanto is no exception with a running history of regular updates over it's 5 year existence - also owes to a stable release pipeline.
I've only went through the changes in the gem release pipeline twice. First switch was from manual
gemspec.rb editing and a hodgepodge of Rake tasks
to release to Rubyforge of yore to Hoe. The second was from Hoe to Jeweler, because I was unable
to make Hoe function on Travis with the vast array of Ruby versions I wanted and because I got fed up with the manual
MANIFEST file, where I always
forgot to add a file or two - whereby a release often went out without an essential part being included.
So far Jeweler, with all of it's possible problems and limitations and an extra dependency, given me the most precious thing in the gem
release/maintenance process - and that is that I don't have to think about that process. For any single gem that I maintain, I know that
brake followed by
brake release is going to do the update I am after - and I can concentrate on the code that my library is offering instead of the fashions
of the build pipeline.
That is way more important, and way more precious to me than knowing that I am following the latest trend in a volatile universe of open-source. I am ready to pay the price of being called old-fashioned and having extra 10 lines in my Rakefile, along with a dependency practically none of my users will even download. By corollary, it means that your pull request to my projects proposing to remove Jeweler and go about some more bikeshedding is likely to be rejected. Not because I am a jerk, but because it supports a repeatable process I have developed muscle memory for, and changing that muscle memory is the last item on my priority list.
And I suggest you, dear reader, to do the same - pick a rubygem release/bootstrapping process that works for you, verify it, trust it and stick to it, instead of joining the bikeshedding fest - whatever that process might be. What your actual gem does is way more important than what you are using to roll it.
On the benefit of laptop stands
When you look at pictures from trendy startup offices you often see laptop riser stands.
One might think that you would do that to make your desk look neater. Or that it is for better posture. Or just to have yet another neat Apple-y looking apparatus in your vicinity for more hipster look. However, there is a benefit to laptop riser stands that some do not quite see upfront.
However, there's more to it than meets the eye.More on this...
Checking the real HTTP headers with curl
curl, the seminal swiss army knife of HTTP requests, is quite good at many things. Practically everybody knows that you can show headers using the
-I flag:
$curl -I http://example.com/req
However, this is plain wrong in a subtle way. See,
I sends a
request, which is sometimes used to probe the server for the last
modification date and such. However, most of the time you want to check
a real
GET as opposed to a
HEAD. Also, not all web frameworks will automatically implement a
HEAD responder for you in addition to a
GET responder. It's also downright misleading because with quite a few proxies the headers you are going to be getting from the server will be different for a
GET as opposed to a
To perform a "real" GET, hit
curl with a lowercase
i as opposed to upprecase.
$curl -i http://logik-matchbook.org/shader/Colourmatrix.png
However, this will pollute your terminal with horrible binary-encoded strings (which is normal for a PNG after all)... There are ways to do a full GET and only show a header, the easiest being doing this:
$curl -s -D - http://logik-matchbook.org/shader/Colourmatrix.png -o /dev/null
Works a treat but is long and not memorizable. I put it in my
.profile as
alias headercheck='curl -s -D - $1 -o /dev/null'
So anytime you want to check headers with a real
GET request, hit:
$headercheck http://url.that/you-want-to-check
and you are off to the races.
OWC Data Doubler caveat with 10.9 Mavericks
Shoved a spanky Samsung SSD into my MBP using a Data Doubler from OWC - easy to confuse with the DiskDoubler of yore, by the way.
So, pried open the laptop, put in the SSD into the doubler plate, screwed everything back in. Turns out due to somewhat inferior SATA port on my particular MacBook Pro model the disk would never work properly in the first place. The Mavericks installer just stopped with the "Installation failed" message, leaving the partition for DiskUtility to repair.
The fix is surprisingly head-on. Apparently the SATA port used by the optical drive is not so good after all, you got to have your 6G SSD on your primary SATA, where the old hard drive is. Just swap the old HD with the new SSD, so that you have a SATA 3G device in your doubler plate, on the not-so-good SATA port destined for the optical drive.
So off goes the lid again, the SSD and the old hard drive swap places and the Mavericks install then proceeded as it should, rewarding me with a pristine desktop.
SSD bliss.
Tracksperanto is fully Ruby 2.0 ready
Just added Ruby 2.0.0 to Tracksperanto's Travis config and the results are in. Our compatibility matrix now looks like this:
So now we also happily run 2.0.0 in addition to 1.8.7 and 1.9.x. Feels nice to stay compatible and current at the same time.
This also means that likely most of the Tracksperanto dependencies are also compatible with 2.0.0.
For modern development Javascript indeed is a s̶h̶i̶t̶ dissapointing language
UPDATE: A much nicer JS bile from Armin Ronacher, where I subscribe to every word except for the Angular parts (since I skipped Angular entirely, because I am not smart enough to understand it).
I'm sorry, but the Crockford arguments do not cut it.
Javascript is so bad, on so many levels - it's not even funny. This is why I am so surprised everyone jumped on the node bandwagon with such excitement - yes, Node is faster than Ruby, but it's unfathomable to me that someone in his clear mind would want to rewrite his app in Node without being 100% focused on the evented model.
JS has inherent, deep issues. They are not solvable by making a new ECMA spec. They are not solvable by wrapping a better syntax around it like Coffeescript does. They are not solvable by standardizing on a
require implementation or by introducing
classes. There is an ECMA language with classes - it's called ActionScript and it's just as shitty as JS itself. These warts just are - and as long as the masses accept it as the status quo it's going to be exactly like the PHP framework landscape to this day: everyone and their mother will be spending man-years trying to create an infrastructure of tools around a shit language that will resist those efforts every single second.
Let me explain why I say that JS is awful. Of course, there are nice things in it - but the problem is that their utility is disputable. Prototypal inheritance, for example, is severly limited in utility - because all it offers you are function overrides. The "everything is a function" approach, while also gimmicky (look ma, I can also call this!), is also not particularly useful - because a function is not an object, not a datastructure that can carry data.
And then the real warts begin. Let's simply enumerate:
JS has callable attributes
This is a shitty design decision which most of the languages have made right at the start. In retrospect, it's difficult to blame the designers because they might have had performance issues - and, to boot, if you are not used to message-passing language the whole idea of "some attributes are callable and some are not" seems absolutely legal.
Hobjects are unusable for stable keys
The mixup between objects and hashes is also a very bad idea, because it defies the premise that objects can have metadata on them - which alllow you to establish a rudimentary type system or at least any kind of introspection.
Fobjects are unusable for type systems since an object does not carry any type information.
This one is a biggie. Even in the Ruby world, where everything is happily quacking like a duck, we often use the
Object#class to get information about an object. A fairly standard procedure of styling an HTML element to a certain model object for example:
<div class='<%= model.class %>' id='<%= [model.class, model.id].join %>' >…
is impossible in JS because the only types offered are 'Object', 'function' and primitives. It's awful in all the ways Java is awful, and then some.
Null everywhere
Trying to use a constant with a wrong name by mistake?
MyApp.SYNC // should have been MyApp.SYNC_FETCH
Nothing will happen. Since ojects are hashes, and the language provides zero facilities for constants, our constant with the wrong key will be undefined, and will happily bleed into the callee. This makes stack traces huge.
Callback hell
JS lacks a decent facility for deferreds. It's created for evented execution, which is fundamentally not multithreaded. Your calls are interspersed with event callbacks - when your code is idling, callbacks are executed. However, JS lacks a simple facility for doing this:
var res = await AjaxReq.fetch('/long-request')
// because you are waiting for a result, here the runtime would
// schedule event handling, DOM redraws and whatever else it can
// squeeze in while you await
res.name // this will be only executed once res is available
Of course the JS community is doing exactly what the PHP community has been doing all along - they try to fix a bad language with even worser tooling. How? By using more callbacks and, on a good day, callback chains
when(<ERMAGHERD RIDICULOUSLY LONG CALLBACK>
// 48 lines of code down
).then(<HOLYSHIT WHEN WILL THIS BE OVER>
// 23 lines down
).then(<GIVE ME SOME COFFEE ALREADY>)
In a normal situation this would have been fixed simply by adding a wait primitive to the language which would schedule the events when the result is still being fetched.
The proliferation of callbacks leads to the programming style where everything is async, but as a matter of fact 80 percent of the code you write has to be synchronuous. Simply because 80 percent of the programming is about doing one motherfucking thing with another motherfucking thing and you need both of them to complete the action.
Terrible exception handling
Exception handling in JS is terrible. It exists, but in a rudimentary form - you can see the call stack (that's going to consist of a dozen anonymous functions and one function that is named - that on a good day), and you can see an error message. Since I am not bashing on the DOM, I will only mention two most often encountered errors:
undefined is not a function
cannot call property 'xyz' of undefined
Both of these stem from the fact that fu(ck)bjects in JS have no defined methods - they only have properties. The JS runtime will never have a way to know whether your fubject is supposed to have a method that can be called, or a property of a certain name - it will just assume it being a missing hash key. It just doesn't know any better!
I remember people in the Ruby community complaining about Ruby's backtraces and error messages being not good enough - and Rubinius went to address this. You know where error messages are particularly fucked up? In fucking Javascript. Because the two absolutely basic, crucial exceptions that you want to get and see every single time -
NameError (when you are adressing a class-ish or constant-ish something which is not defined) and 'NoMethodError' are simply impossible with the sloppy way the language is built.
And yes, functions are nice, and prototypes are nice and all that - but if you want to build a JS app having any kind of reasonable complexity, you will be bound to write code like this:
var cv = Marionette.CollectionView.extend({
itemView: MyApp.Views.WidgetView;
What is the error that you will get if
MyApp.Views.WidgetView is not defined yet?
undefined is not a function of course! Where will you get it? When the
CollectionView will try to instantiate your item view. Not when you define the variable
cv, no no! It will explode later, and rest assured - you will be tearing your hair out for a couple of minutes until you see where the error came from.
And why? Simply because everything is a hash and the language is incapable of doing any kind of introspection.
It absolutely perplexes me that people who have used Ruby are moving to Node and calling it a good tool. Node might be great. The language running in it is shit though, and until this gets at least marginally better I will do without Node just fine, thank you.
I can understand that some people wanted to escape the MRI infrastructure by going Node, because - you know - learning Japanese is hard. If you don't speak Japanese, your chances of making a noticeable improvement in MRI approach zero - you will not be treated nicely.
JS is shit, and if we care at least a tiny bit we should do everything in our power to either sunset it, or to move it into the 'assembler for the web' realm where it would be a vehicle for decent languages that can actually get the job done without driving you up the wall. Being nice will not help it, and CoffeeScript is not radical enough. Support your local transpiler initiative today.
Update: nice to know that some people are considering alternatives
Checklist for custom form controls in your wep app
Recently I had a privilege of reviewing a web app that is directly relevant to my work field. It is in fact an iteration on the system we are actively using at the company. After having a poke here and there, I was surprised to find that the custom controls epidemic was not over for some people.
All popup menus on the system (all
select elements) were implemented as custom HTML controls with custom event handling. I hate this kind of thing not because it doesn't look like a native control - this is in fact secondary. Most of the apps I use daily (Flame, Smoke, Syntheyes, Nuke) do not use the native UI controls at all.
What I hate is a substantial reduction in useful behavior compared to a native control. There is a load of stuff humanity has put into menu implementations for the past 40 years. Every custom select implementation is bound to be reinventing the wheel, in a bad way.
Imagine you are all giggly and want to make a custom
select element - a menu. Or your boss does not get UX and lives in the art-directorial LSD fuckfest of the late nineties, and absolutely requires a custom control. Ok then, roll up your sleeves.
Running .command files on OSX in other interpreters than sh
We all know that on OSX you can create so-called
.command files. In a nutshell, they are renamed shell scripts.
When you make them executable and double-click them, they will run by themselves within
A little less known fact about them is that you can actually script them in any language of your choosing. For the reasons of distribution it's better to stick to the versions of things available on OS X by default, obviously. You do this by modifying the shebang, just like you would for any other shell script.
For example, a
.command file that runs via Ruby would look like this:
puts "Hello from #{RUBY_VERSION}"
Note that I am not using
/urs/bin/env here to get at the right version of Ruby since that turned out to play up on 10.6 somehow. I stick to the system ruby instead.
Gracefully handling NFS mounts on OSX laptops
For the last few years, all the work I do has been equally split between Flame systems running on Linux and a couple of Macbook Pro's running OSX. At Hectic we make use of NFS to make the same servers available to all of our client workstations which are an equal mix between Linux and Windows (Macs do not ouse our NFS facilities much). One of the problems I have encountered has been configuring the NFS mounts on my laptops for graceful timeout.
Now, in the ideal world NFS is designed to handle unmounts gracefully of course. That is, the client is supposed to suspend or fail on IO operations when the requisite mount
is not found. Apple, however, in it's infinite wisdom, designed a slightly different system for it's OSX Server infrastructure. The mounts that you were used to designate in the Directory Services application or, more recently, in Disk Utility (explained in tutorials like this one are
managed by
automountd, Apple's daemon controlling the directory mounts. This is the daemon that originally was designed to provide automounted user home directories and other
handy things in the
/Network folder on the root drive. In Mountain Lion this feature has been removed, but people try to use
automountd nevertheless, explained in a post here.
automountd has been designed for limited applications - like computer labs at colleges and universities. It is not capable of detecting offline servers or stale mounts, and even with all the settings tweaked it will never timeout on an NFS mount. In practice, this means that if I have some NFS mounts defined on my laptop and I take the laptop
somewhere where the NFS servers cannot be reached, the following will happen:
- All navigation services dialogs in all applications will beachball when trying to access the stale mounts
- All applications having documents open off of these servers will beachball
- Due to Lion and Mountain Lion's automatic document reopening of last-used documents per application apps that support this feature will beachball again on startup.
This is not pretty. What you actually want is a nice dialog like this:
when the mounts are gone and then to be able to proceed with your business.
And this turned out to be remarkably simple to achieve. The easy solution is - do not use automountd at all, but mount manually. I do it with a Ruby script that I need to run in the morning once my laptop is up and running on the company network. When I come home, the OS falls back to the natural behavior
of simply unmounting the stale shares instead of having
automountd hammer on them indefinitely.

Four afternoons a week eager second- through fourth-grade students enter the Salvation Army's Learning Zone. This program started very small in 1999 to work with students who needed a little extra help with homework and has expanded far beyond expectations. Although the original purpose is still the first priority, the zone has become a multi-faceted growth experience.
In order for each child to receive the most individual attention, they are divided into three groups who rotate between three different stations, one being help in completing homework assignments. Additionally, there are other sectors for computer learning and literacy crafts using recycled items, hands-on awareness of our environment while creating fun things.

K-12 Education:
Selected Cases of Public and Private Schools That Hired or Retained Individuals with Histories of Sexual Misconduct
GAO-11-200: Published: Dec 8, 2010. Publicly Released: Dec 16, 2010.
Additional Materials:

Prior GAO testimonies have described cases of physical abuse of children at youth residential treatment programs and public and private schools. However, children are also vulnerable to sexual abuse. A 2004 Department of Education report estimated that millions of students are subjected to sexual misconduct by a school employee at some time between kindergarten and the twelfth grade (K-12). GAO was asked to (1) examine the circumstances surrounding cases where K-12 schools hired or retained individuals with histories of sexual misconduct and determine the factors contributing to such employment actions and (2) provide an overview of selected federal and state laws related to the employment of convicted sex offenders in K-12 schools. To identify case studies, GAO compared 2007 to 2009 data employment databases from 19 states and the District of Columbia to data in the National Sex Offender Registry. GAO also searched public records from 2000 to 2010 to identify cases in which sexual misconduct by school employees ultimately resulted in a criminal conviction. GAO ultimately selected 15 cases from 11 states for further investigation. For each case, to the extent possible, GAO reviewed court documents and personnel files and also interviewed relevant school officials and law enforcement. GAO reviewed applicable federal and state laws related to the employment of sex offenders and requirements for conducting criminal history checks.
The 15 cases GAO examined show that individuals with histories of sexual misconduct were hired or retained by public and private schools as teachers, support staff, volunteers, and contractors. At least 11 of these 15 cases involve offenders who previously targeted children. Even more disturbing, in at least 6 cases, offenders used their new positions as school employees or volunteers to abuse more children. GAO found that the following factors contributed to hiring or retention: (1) school officials allowed teachers who had engaged in sexual misconduct toward students to resign rather than face disciplinary action, often providing subsequent employers with positive references; (2) schools did not perform preemployment criminal history checks; (3) even if schools did perform these checks, they may have been inadequate in that they were not national, fingerprint-based, or recurring; and (4) schools failed to inquire into troubling information regarding criminal histories on employment applications. GAO found no federal laws regulating the employment of sex offenders in public or private schools and widely divergent laws at the state level. For example, some states require a national, fingerprint-based criminal history check for school employment, while others do not. State laws also vary as to whether past convictions must result in termination from school employment, revocation of a teaching license, or refusal to hire.
