text: These i386 packages were installed into the Debian hierarchy in the last week: ----- !!! HIGH URGENCY PACKAGES !!! ----- modutils - Linux module utilities. modutils 2.1.121-3 -> 2.1.121-4 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/base modutils (2.1.121-4) unstable; urgency=high * Recompiled with kerneld.h from modutils 2.1.85 * Added fc4 to the search path ----- MEDIUM Urgency Packages ----------- bsdmainutils - More utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite. bsdmainutils 4.2 -> 4.3 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/utils bsdmainutils (4.3) unstable; urgency=medium * vacation.c: read entire message, not just the headers, to keep mailers which detect abnormal pipe closure from throwing a fit.

Thanks to Paul Slootman <firstname.lastname@example.com>. * Fixed missing newline at the end of base64 text part of multipart mail message. * Added FreeBSD port. amcl - A Simple Mu{d,ck,sh,se} Client amcl 0.3-1 -> 0.4.2-1 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/net amcl (0.4.2-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. apcalc - Arbitrary precision calculator (original name: calc) apcalc-dev - Library for arbitrary precision arithmetic apcalc-dev 2.10.3t5.45-4 -> 2.10.3t5.45-5 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/math apcalc 2.10.3t5.45-4 -> 2.10.3t5.45-5 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/math apcalc (2.10.3t5.45-5) unstable; urgency=low * Removed /bin/ash-dependency from custom/Makefile (closes: Bug#26864) arena - an HTML 3.0 compliant WWW browser for X arena 0.3.61-2 -> 0.3.61-3 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/web arena (1:0.3.61-3) unstable; urgency=low * Recompile for libpng2. (#26921) aumix - Simple text-based mixer control program aumix 1.10-1 -> 1.13-1 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/sound aumix (1.13-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. * Major change: ALSA support added. blt8.0 - Shared libraries for blt (v2.4f) blt8.0-dev - Development in blt (v2.4f) blt8.0-dev 2.4f-2 -> 2.4f-3 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel blt8.0 2.4f-2 -> 2.4f-3 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/libs blt8.0 (2.4f-3) unstable; urgency=low * Bug #26652 - Added a conflict for blt8.0-unoff. bock - Bootstrap-only compiler kit for a subset of Java(tm) bock 0.12 -> 0.13 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel bock (0.13) unstable; urgency=low * Implement evaluation of array initialisers. * Reorganise block generation to put all local declarations first, enabling switch statements to be compiled. * Implement switch/case statements. * Do string conversion on arrays correctly; don't treat them like their element type. * Fix a bug which made the generated program allocate far too much memory for arrays. * Generate a diagnostic if the lexer finds a string literal containing a '\0'. (That's better than a silent failure, isn't it?) * Minor fix to the grammar to correctly recognise an empty array initialiser with a single comma in it. * In java.io.FileDescriptor, when converting strings to C format, add a '\0' to the end. * In java.io.FileDescriptor, open files for writing with O_CREAT and with mode 0666 rather than 0. * Change some careless C++-style comments in the C source to C-style. (GCC is far too forgiving; it doesn't even warn about this.) bock - Bootstrap-only compiler kit for a subset of Java(tm) bock 0.13 -> 0.14 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel bock (0.14) unstable; urgency=low * Implemented stack traces. The implementation may be somewhat inefficient, but at least we now have some kind of diagnostics. * Implemented \uXXXX Unicode escapes. Caveat: these work ONLY in character and string literals. These literals are, however, fully 16-bit clean. '\0' in string literals now works properly. * Implemented java.io.BufferedInputStream. * Made java.io.FilterOutputStream call its flush() method before closing its contained stream. This doesn't conform to the JLS, but it is specified by both the JDK 1.1 documentation, and common sense. * Fixed a bug in toString() in both java.lang.Integer and java.lang.Long, where an erroneous '0' was inserted in single-digit negative numbers. * Fixed a hideous bug in the set() and clear() methods of java.util.BitSet. (I transposed &= with |=.) * Made stringpool_intern_wide() allocate memory using xmalloc() (which calls GC_malloc()), rather than calling malloc() and realloc() directly and then storing pointers to GC_malloc()ed memory in there. This seems to have been causing memory to be collected too early, and was corrupting the string pool. * Removed a spurious error message associated with nested array initialisers. * Since bock can now compile JLex (with minor changes, namely to move the square brackets before the declarator in all declarations, and to delete a spurious semicolon which javac should not have accepted anyway), JLex is now part of bock's test suite. bock - Bootstrap-only compiler kit for a subset of Java(tm) bock 0.14 -> 0.15 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel bock (0.15) unstable; urgency=low * Build statementexpressionlists in forward, rather than reverse order. * Delete codegen_stmtexprlist() replacing calls to it with calls to codegen_block(). * Record in the parse tree the number of pairs of empty square brackets after local variable and field declarators. * Do some simplifying transformations on the parse tree before starting to resolve names: + Separate local variable and field declarations describing many locals or fields into many declarations describing one local or field each. + Extract the initialisation step from for statements, creating an enclosing block to correctly scope declarations. * After each local or field declaration is separate, incorporate the additional array dimentions stored. * As a result of the above, square brackets indicating additional array dimensions may now be placed after declarators. Whew! * Back out the square-bracket changes to the copy of JLex in the test suite. * Made square brackets after method declarators work. (Which was not nearly so difficult as for local and field declarators.) * When running bock with no arguments, give usage message. * Insert a few "this can't happen" assertions. bsdgames-nonfree - collection of text games from BSD systems - nonfree bsdgames-nonfree 2.4-1 -> 2.5-1 into dists/slink/non-free/binary-i386/games bsdgames-nonfree (2.5-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. Boggle was moved to bsdgames, only rogue remains. bsdgames - collection of text games from BSD systems bsdgames 2.4-1 -> 2.5-1 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/games bsdgames (2.5-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release - boggle is now free. bsdutils - Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite. bsdutils 4.3 -> 4.4 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/base bsdutils (4.4) unstable; urgency=low * kill.c, mksignames.c, Makefile: applied patch from Eric Delaunay <email@example.com> to allow proper signal number detection under non-i386 linux. Slightly modified to fix off by one error. * script.1: tell people how to strip control characters out. Fixes Bug#25156. c2man - Graham Stoney's mechanized man page generator c2man 2.41-9 -> 2.41-10 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel c2man (2.41-10) unstable; urgency=low * Regenerated Configure from the latest dist package so that configure does not requires a tty stdin when the -d and -E/e options are in effect. closes: BUG#25042 cdrdao - Write audio CD-Rs in disk-at-once mode cdrdao 1.06-1 -> 1.07-1 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/otherosfs cdrdao (1.07-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. checkbot - a WWW link verifier checkbot 1.51-1 -> 1.51-2 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/web checkbot (1.51-2) unstable; urgency=low * Add dependency on libhtml-tree-perl circlepack - creation and display of circle packings circlepack 4.0.1-2 -> 4.0.1-3 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/math circlepack (4.0.1-3) unstable; urgency=low * Changed compiler flag. * Support for other archs. clif - C language interpreter clif 0.90.2-1 -> 0.90.2-2 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/interpreters clif (0.90.2-2) unstable; urgency=low * Checked compiler option, change to cc. cln - Class Library for Numbers (c++) cln-dev - Development library for Class Library for Numbers (c++) cln-dev 0.98-4 -> 0.98-5 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel cln 0.98-4 -> 0.98-5 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/math cln (0.98-5) unstable; urgency=low * make debian/rules more non-i386 friendly * links against newer libstdc++ cvs-buildpackage - Debian package scripts for CVS source trees. cvs-buildpackage 2.08 -> 2.09 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel cvs-buildpackage (2.09) unstable; urgency=low * Fix a couple of typos involving version and name specification. closes: BUG#26973, BUG#26974 cvs-buildpackage - Debian package scripts for CVS source trees. cvs-buildpackage 2.09 -> 2.10 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel cvs-buildpackage (2.10) unstable; urgency=low * The cvs-buildpackage program now honors the CVSDEB_PREFIX environment variable, just like cvs-inject and cvs-upgrade programs. It does not honor the configuration variable conf_prefix (it never has), and this is now documented. ddd - The Data Display Debugger, a graphical frontend for GDB. ddd 3.0-5 -> 3.0-6 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel ddd (3.0-6) unstable; urgency=low * [ddd/Ddd.in] Try mozilla and the GNOME help browser before netscape, as they are free. * [ddd/Makefile.in] Extract builder information from debian/changelog ; this was accidentally dropped. * [ddd/configure.in] Made disabling features work; forwarded fix upstream. * No longer compile the ddd manpage into the ddd binary. * Suggests: info, libc-doc (for help on signal), xcontrib (for interactive font selection using xfontsel), groff (for the manpage). * Per policy, include the application defaults file. * No longer compile the application defaults file into the ddd binary. * [ddd/Ddd.in.m4] include explanation about the application defaults file. * Removed "icon=none" from menu file (lintian). * Updated Standards-Version. * Use a separate builddir. developers-reference - Debian Developer's Reference developers-reference 188.8.131.52 -> 220.127.116.11 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/doc developers-reference (220.127.116.11) unstable;

urgency=low * New upstream spellfix release (Debian revision is 2 as the internal version numbers didn't change). * Added egcc -> gcc symlink on architectures where egcc is the primary C compiler. Thus, maintainers of packages that require egcc, can now simply use "egcc" without conditionals. * Porters: we hope/plan to make egcs's gcc the default C compiler on all platforms once the 2.2.x kernels are available. Please test this version thoroughly, and give us a GO / NO GO for your architecture. * Some symbols cpp used to predefine were removed upstream in order to clean up the cpp namespace, but imake requires them for determining the proper settings for LinuxMachineDefines (see /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/{Imake,linux}.cf), thus we put them back.

Geometric shape s/w?
I'm looking for a simple (free?) program to print 2D geometric shapes for a friend who makes stained glass lamps etc.
All he wants to do is type in the base dimension for, say, a pentagon and a to-scale shape appears on screen with the correct angles etc. which he can then print out. It doesn't have to be exact to the fraction of a millimetre, but good enough to work with.
Any ideas? Tks.

New ammo technology/multiple impact bullet
Has anyone seen this yet?
This new design touts "increased hit probability and stopping power". I thought it was really gimmicky at first but I try to remain open minded with new technology. I try to reserve judgement until thorough testing has been done. I'd love to see some penetration testing. Testing videos are supposedly on the way.

I would never use this stuff.
1. There's no way to actually hit what you are aiming at reliably. The fragments spread to the point that they are hitting randomly on target. If you aim center mass, these rounds have a spread of 14 inches and will to put it simply, not hit center mass. If I want multiple projectiles hitting the target, and that will penetrate sufficiently, I will use a shotgun. Plain and simple.
2. These fragmented pieces will lack sufficient penetration needed to hit vitals, very similar to the gimicky fragmentation ammo you see. Especially since it has a piece of string holding them together. What if that string does not disconnect upon impact? It will prevent the rounds from penetrating even more than they normally would.
3. All it takes is for even the slightest thing to get in the way and that string holding those rounds together will either throw the rounds completely off target, or tangle around the object and maybe stop all together.
4. If the round separates before feeding into the barrel, it will lock up your gun. Forget about tap and rack drills, the round will not eject like normal ammunition would.
5. If one of the fragments hits the target, or would hit, and the other two miss the target, it seems that the other two fragments have enough weight and momentum to pull the single fragment that would have otherwise hit.
5. There $50 for 10 rounds. I cant afford to spend hundreds of dollars function testing this ammo.

Wow. I'm gobsmacked... They've reinvented chain shot.
That target hanging behind them, with the widely spaced hits, including the complete miss over the left shoulder, doesn't inspire much confidence.
I quit watching before I saw the price. You have got to be kidding me...

I think I read somewhere that "chain-shot" was originally designed for ship-mounted cannons and was used with the intent of disabling the mast of an enemy ship. No idea if it was effective or not. Seems like this ammo would have way too many drawbacks in a shotgun. I'll stick to 00 and #1 buckshot for defense.

Chain and bar shot were developed as anti-rigging projectiles. Their primary effectiveness was against rigging, though, as they would scythe through stays, active rigging, and sails, destabilizing the masts and making it difficult if not impossible to maneuver the ship.
Against masts themselves they weren't as effective as solid shot due simply to the large diameter of most masts.

I wonder what performance looks like if the tethering is absent. A number of folk have loaded multiple short wadcutters, flying hockey pucks, in various rounds, mostly .357 Mag and .357 Max. As I recall, spread at self defense range was modest and useful. Old tech, not "new", but why pay for doodads unnecessarily?
Run a search on "quadraximum."
Gee, I'd love to see your data!

Boy does that video need some work.
$60 for a box of 10 .45 ACP rounds...
(But as they said over and over and over, you don't PRACTICE with this stuff, except for a couple of times, you only use this stuff FOR REAL. You put two rounds at the top of your magazine then follow it up with your regular rounds...two boxes would last you a life time they say...
I would have liked to seen what kind of penetration the stuff has. They mentioned shooting a watermelon but they never did shoot anything besides the paper target.
Eh...I think I'll pass on this stuff. And I kinda want the 33 minutes I spent watching it back too.

Another brilliant idea that just doesn't work, but some people may actually buy it. If I want to put two or three bullets in a target, I will fire two or three shots.
In fact, double and triple bullet rounds have been tried many times, going back to the old "buck and ball" loads in muskets. And they produced much tighter groups than the one shown in that video. Another double bullet was produced by the simple expedient of cutting a .38 wadcutter in half crosswise, and loading the two parts as one bullet. It works.

The responses so far are pretty much what I expected. Just to play devil's advocate and address a few of the issues...
For not being able to hit what you're aiming at; if you hit center mass, the fragments will all hit 7 inches from the center aiming point. It's kind of the point that it compensates for improper shot placement. For instance, it has a 14 inch diameter spread. If you're aiming for center mass and you pull a shot in any direction, one of the fragments will be pulled back toward your original aiming point. Basically, 7 inches of compensation in any direction.
So I guess, if you have good shot placement at center mass, you will have three fragments that hit not at your aiming point. If you have bad shot placement, you should have at least one fragment that hits close to your aiming point. If one or two of the fragments miss, he says they are supposed to vector back toward the center. I'm not sure how that would work exactly. If that did work like he said, then I'm sure that would further reduce any penetrating power they might have. But the point is to have a higher hit probability. In that aspect alone, yeah, I can see them increasing that.
The mindset of "I have no problem hitting my target" is great if you can actually do it. I do stationary shooting to different types of moving combat drills and I usually have no problem hitting my target either. However, I've never actually had to shoot at someone in a life or death situation. As much training as I can do, there is still no really good way to simulate that. I hope (and the training certainly helps) but I have no way to know what my shot placement would be like in that situation until it actually happens.
Tangling up, locking up your gun etc. are valid concerns as well but may never actually be a real issue. Lots of testing would have to be done before I'd be comfortable on that subject.
I think the biggest downfall would be the penetration power. They sell a "lethal" and a "stunner" version. The "stunner" version doesn't make much sense to me because I'm not a fan of any "less than lethal" round. But still, I don't see the "lethal" version being able to adequately penetrate.
Increasing hit probability, I will give them that. Being a viable stopping round, I don't think so. I'd still like to see penetration tests. But then again, they do recommend to only load one or two rounds and have the rest with your normal carry load. So, the point is to at least get the first one or two rounds on target.

lol another corny "magic" bullet for the trash heap.
innovations great but it always leads to a few WTH products.
I'll agree with above Chain shot was to tear up the rigging system of an enemy ship.
E-Shock rounds are engineered to expend maximum energy into soft targets, turning the density mass into an expanding rotational cone of NyTrilium matrix particles, causing neurological collapse to the central nervous system.- Yeah I can do that.

The tether might be something new for a pistol round, have to do some digging to be sure, but it is just another multi ball round. The government has been playing with that idea for over 50 years. The picture shows a couple of them the top intended for riot control was just a shot round, 12 pellets and 4 chunks of shrapnel it dates from 1964. The other is closer to this magic bullet with out the tether and made in 1972 sabot grabs the rifling and peals off as it leaves the barrel exposing 3 disks and a cone going down range. If memory serves, at 20 feet it had a spread of about 9 inches.
So like venom said "...another corny "magic" bullet for the scrap heap."

Didn't this get invented hundreds of years ago? It was called a blunderbuss.
The blunderbuss evolved to become the shotgun.

The impact shots would be the about same as being hit by a bunch of nuts and bolts out of a blunderbuss or old shotgun, just not a effective!

There was a good deal of interest in "strung buckshot" for shotguns back before choke boring was well understood. It hung on for a long time, Elmer Keith referred to stringing buckshot on fishing line. I think one of the gimmick shotshell companies still offers it.
Three irregular segments tied together and stuffed into a pistol case do not impress me.

God I was just reminded of how much I hate that guy's videos.
I would love to see how deep those fragments penetrate in gelatin. I bet it's not much.

The video is self serving clap trap.
I feel for those who've invested their money.
It wasn't the price of this stuff that gave me the biggest laugh. It was the statement that it was approved by the ATF for civilian use.

Applications of Combinatorial Matrix Theory to Laplacian Matrices of GraphsCRC Press 2016; US$ 108.95
On the surface, matrix theory and graph theory seem like very different branches of mathematics. However, adjacency, Laplacian, and incidence matrices are commonly used to represent graphs, and many properties of matrices can give us useful information about the structure of graphs. Applications of Combinatorial Matrix Theory to Laplacian Matrices... more...

Dilbert says to Dogbert, "My new invention can calculate the odds of any event." Dogbert asks, "What are the odds that I care?" Dilbert looks at the device he is holding and says, "Hmm . . . It says 'Same as the odds of being asked to burp the greatest hits of Barry Manilow at Carnegie Hall . . .'" Dilbert continues reading the display, "'. . . And having NBC buy the story rights and turn it into a docudrama.'" Dogbert says, "Bingo."

Like Eskimo, the Zs have a quirky playfulness about them that is confounding and amazing in equal measure. Part rock band and part chamber ensemble, with a whole lot in between, the Brooklyn-based act displays a frenetic dexterity that evokes a sense of controlled chaos -- like pistons pumping furiously, trying to break out of the engine block. The band, which issued its debut EP on Troubleman Unlimited's outsider-music series, recently appeared alongside Merzbow, Ikue Mori and Mark Feldman, among others, on the Tzadik tribute to experimental genius Earle Brown. The Zs' last few discs, however, including the hot-off-the-presses Arms, have all been released on the Planaria Records imprint. If that's too much to remember, just look for the group in the Z section. Shouldn't be too hard to find; after all, there aren't many artists filed under Z. Let's see, there's Zappa, Zorn, and...come to think of it, the Zs would fit nicely between both of those cats.

Our Lab
The overarching theme of my research program is to understand the links between environmental processes and human health. My research program encompasses three broad areas that are interconnected and address the impacts of human activity on freshwater resources, and the human health and management implications. We are investigating the population structure of microbial communities, and learning what the composition and structure can tell us about function and stressors from urban pollution impacts. We have generated comprehensive community profiles of sewage and other pollution sources to identify new indicators of fecal pollution. We are particularly concerned with pathogens and the risk of waterborne illness, but our work extends more broadly towards understanding ecosystem impacts due to pollution inputs, and long-term consequences of climate change on the pathogen loads derived from urbanized areas. Our work on beaches includes understanding fecal indicator bacteria survival and possible growth in the beach environment as well as the influence of the indigenous microbial community on exclusion of fecal bacteria and how this community could act as a sentinel for chronic pollution impacts.

(Urban 'microbiome' can offer glimpses into disease trends) — Sampling the waste in a city's sewage system can be a good way to study the microbes that live in the population's guts – and could even offer a way to monitor public health issues such as obesity, according to new research.
The community of microbes that live in a person's gut, known as the microbiome, is intricately tied to that person's health. The microbiome can influence, and be influenced by, a range of characteristics such as weight, disease, diet, exercise, mood and much more. But it can be difficult to draw large-scale conclusions about what constitutes a "healthy gut" because of the financial and privacy implications of sampling large enough numbers of people.
So a team of researchers led by Sandra McLellan at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Mitchell Sogin at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, set out to test whether they would be able to spot human microbes lurking in the soupy mix of municipal sewage systems, and thus sample entire cities at once.

Bridging the Research and Policy Gap to Improve Urban Beach Ecosystem Health
For more than a decade, the McLellan lab has gathered data from South Shore Beach, an urban neighborhood beach that faces a many advisories and closures each year due to high levels of fecal indicator bacteria, specifically E. coli, in the water. Our data suggests that localized non-point pollution generates the most significant contamination leading to beach closures. The situation is likely exacerbated by limited water circulation resulting from the beach's adjacent location to a breakwall and boating infrastructure. Other potential sources of urban water pollution, including sewer systems and overflows, do not appear to be as significant to South Shore Beach water quality.
While understanding of the extent and causes of beach contamination has grown, this data alone will not lead to beach improvements. On 8/27/14 Miller Brewing announced a $500,000 dollar gift to help clean up South Shore Beach and to continue the McLellan Lab monitoring effort. Our current research takes an interdisciplinary look at outstanding challenges and questions at South Shore Beach, including filling gaps in scientific data, completing an economic impact study, and working with stakeholders to develop a policy-making framework.
