Vote center

Vote center
In the United States of America, a vote center, sometimes known as a super precinct, is a polling place that combines multiple precincts allowing voters to choose at which location to vote regardless of their home address. Voter centers can be used to allow voters to choose from any polling place within a larger jurisdiction, commonly county. Vote centers were first used in Larimer County, Colorado, USA.
Vote centers can reduce the number of polling places required per election theoretically reducing costs.

Technical death metal

Technical death metal (also referred to as tech-death) is a musical subgenre of death metal that began and developed in the early- to mid-1990s, with particular focus on challenging, demanding instrumental skill and complex songwriting.
Technical experimentation in death metal began in the late 1980s and early 1990s by four bands that are often grouped together as "technical death metal's Big Four" – Death, Pestilence, Atheist, and Cynic – as well as Nocturnus; all but Pestilence being part of the Florida death metal scene.
Some of the distinct features of this genre include dynamic song structures, complex and atypical rhythmic structures, abundant use of diminished chords and arpeggios, frequent employment of odd time chord progressions, and consistent use of string skipping on the guitars. Bass lines are usually complex, and drumming is complex including techniques such as blast beats, odd time signatures and double kicks. The technical death metal genre has also been influenced by mostly jazz fusion, as well as thrash metal and progressive/technical-inspired heavy metal bands like Death, Megadeth, Slayer, Voivod, Kreator, Dark Angel, Coroner, Sadus, and Watchtower, the latter of whose second album Control and Resistance (1989) is often considered to be one of the sources of inspiration for the genre.
The 1990 album The Key by Nocturnus has been cited as the first progressive death metal album. One of the key works that cemented the subgenre was Atheist's debut album Piece of Time, also released in 1990, which took death metal into a more intricate level while incorporating influences ranging from jazz fusion to progressive metal. In 1991, New York death metal group Suffocation released their debut album Effigy of the Forgotten, which focused on pairing speed and brutality with a "sophisticated" sense of songwriting. Atheist's second album Unquestionable Presence, Pestilence's third album Testimony of the Ancients, and Death's fourth album Human were all released the same year, forging a path for more intricate and refined releases within the death metal genre.

Ihram clothing

Ihram clothing (Ahram clothing) includes men's and women's garments worn by Muslim people while in a state of Iḥrām, during either of the Islamic pilgrimages, Ḥajj and/or ʿUmrah. The main objective is to avoid attracting attention. Men's garments often consist of two white unhemmed sheets (usually towelling material) and are universal in appearance. The top (the ridāʾ) is draped over the torso, and the bottom (the izār) is secured by a belt; plus a pair of sandals. Women's clothing, however, varies considerably and reflects regional as well as religious influences, but they often do not wear special clothing or cover their faces.
White ihram clothing is intended to make everyone appear the same, to signify that in front of God there is no difference between a prince and a pauper. Ihram also contributes to a feeling of unity that pilgrims have when they are in the city of Mecca, that they are all brothers and sisters joined to worship Allah. Although it is simply an item of clothing to be worn during the pilgrimage, there are many competing views on the proper wearing of ihram. For example, the exact number of days a pilgrim is required to wear ihram varies according to the type of pilgrimage the individual is performing. Ihram is typically worn during Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month in the Islamic calendar.
Ihram is also a state which a pilgrim is in during the Hajj pilgrimage. Before entering Ihram, they bathe, trim their nails and hair, make wudu (cleansing ritual), and pronounce a formal intention to perform Hajj. While they are in this state, pilgrims are not allowed to hunt or kill any living thing, participate in sexual intercourse, cut hair or nails, or wear make-up or perfume.

ترسكل

ترسكل (بالإنجليزية: Trisquel) هي توزيعة لينكس إسبانية المنشأ، مبنية على أوبونتو، من التوزيعات الحرة بنسبة 100% التي لا تحتوي أٌقراصها ولا مستودعاتها على أي برمجيات محتكرة والتي لا تنصح بتثبيت أي منها. تسعى لجلب مفهوم الحرية في الحاسوب وأن المستخدم يجب أن يكون له الحرية المطلقة في استخدامه لحاسوبه.
الخصائص
ترسكل تهتم بالحرية أولًا وأخيرًا؛ بالرغم من ذلك إلا أن تصميمها الشكلي جميل، وليس كما يظن البعض بأن التوزيعات الحرة لا يمكن أن تكون جميلة شكليًا.
تأتي ترسكل بمجموعة حرّة من البرامج، كما قامت باستبدال البرامج المحتكرة في أوبونتو ببرامج حرة، ومن الأمثلة على ذلك: بريمج «مركز برمجيات أوبونتو» الذي استبدل ببريمج «أضف\أزل»، كما أن التعريفات المحتكرة استبدلت بحرة.
تاريخ
بدأ المشروع في عام 2004 برعاية من جامعة فيغو، وقدم رسميا في أبريل 2005 برعاية ريتشارد ستولمن، مؤسس مشروع جنو، بصفته ضيف شرف. بنيت اصلا على دبيان، لكن مع إطلاق الإصدار 2.0 تم تغيير المستودعات وإضافة مستودعات اوبنتو في صيف 2008. يستضيف المشروع مستودعات خاصة به والتي هي مشتقات من مستودعات اوبنتو الرئيسية، مع ازالة جميع البرمجيات الغير حرة والمقيدة بحقوق الملكية الفكرية. والاستعاضة عن نواة لينكس الاصلية (التي يوجد بها برمجيات غير حرة، التي أحدثت جدال واختلافات في مجتمعات لينكس بين مؤيد ومعارض لها)، بنواة لينكس الحرة. (linux-libre). وإضافة حزم أخرى من مشاريع مختلفة.
منذ 11 ديسمبر 2008، أُدرجت ترسكل جنو/لينكس من قبل مؤسسة البرمجيات الحرة في قائمة توزيعات جنو/لينكس الحرة. المتاحة على صفحة الويب الخاص بمشروع جنو، بعد أن ضمن مجتمع وفريق تطوير ترسكل ان تبقى ترسكل حرة 100%، وتطوير ودعم البرمجيات الحرّة فقط.
الإصدارات
آخر إصدار لترسكل هو 7.0 وهو مبني على أوبونتو 14.04.
ترسكل 4.5
صدرت ترسكل 4.5 المبنية على اوبنتو 10.10في 25 مارس 2011، وأهم ما جاء في هذا الإصدار هو:
إصلاح الكثير من العلل.

John Gideon Searle

John Gideon Searle (1901–1978) was an American heir, businessman and philanthropist.
Early life
John Gideon Searle was born March 18, 1901, in Iowa. His paternal grandfather was Gideon Daniel Searle, founder of G. D. Searle & Company in 1888. His father, Claude Howard Searle, served as president of the family business after his grandfather's death in 1917. He began working for the family business at the age of fourteen, working every summer through high school and college. He graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science in pharmacy.
Business career
At Searle, he worked as a buyer in 1923, and then was appointed office manager and treasurer. In 1931, he became vice president and general manager of Searle, up until 1966. To remain competitive during the Great Depression, he reduced its product lines and focused on successful products such as Aminophyllin, Metamucil and Dramamine. He also launched the first oral contraceptive drug Enovid in 1957. He moved its headquarters to Skokie, Illinois, in 1942.
In 1966, his son Daniel C. Searle became president of Searle. His other son, William L. Searle, as well as his son-in-law, Wes Dixon, also worked for the company.
Philanthropy
In 1964, he set up the Searle Fund at The Chicago Community Trust. The Searle Family Trust later created the Searle Scholars Program.
He was inducted in the American National Business Hall of Fame. Northwestern University and Yale University have endowed professorships named for him. The John G. Searle Chair at the American Enterprise Institute, named in his honor, is currently held by Michael R. Strain. Assistant professorships named after Searle exist in all departments at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.
Death
He died in 1978.
