Rocky Linux

**Rocky Linux** is the idea of a Linux distribution to replace CentOS. The idea was born after Red Hat decided not to honor the decision to provide full updates for CentOS 8 until 2024 and maintainence updates until 2029 as initially announced.

Gregory Kurtzer, founder of the CentOS project made this announcement and the community is actively working on the project.

## Change in End of life for CentOS 8

CentOS was acquired by Red Hat in 2014. On December 8, 2020, it was announced that the CentOS project, previously a downstream branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, would be moving to CentOS Stream, an upstream development branch of RHEL.

The maintenance schedule for CentOS 8 was also changed, ending full updates and maintenance updates on December 31, 2021. As an aside, the maintenance schedule for CentOS 7 is unchanged, with maintenance updates ending on June 30, 2024.

Mother goddess

A **mother goddess** is a goddess that is a personification of motherhood, or of fertility. Sometimes, they are called **mother earth** or **earth mother**. This concept is usually coupled with a sky father, or father sky. Very often, the mother goddess is also the mother of other deities.
Dynamical system

A **Dynamical system** is a mathematical model of a process, that is dependent on time. The process is homogeneous, it only depends on the initial state. The current terminology was established by Henri Poincaré and George David Birkhoff.

Dynamical systems are very common. Examples are the movement of a pendulum in physics, or the predator-prey equations in biology.
Acculturation

**Acculturation** refers to the interactions between an individual (or a group) and an individual (or a group) from a different culture.

## History

Psychologists have also been interested in studying acculturation but are often interested in the effects of acculturation on individuals. For example, studies in psychology have looked at how people's way of thinking changes after the move to a new culture. Psychologists have also studied the stress people feel when moving to a new culture and whether certain coping styles help people manage that stress better or worse. Sociologists also study acculturation and how societies change from interacting with new cultures.

## Models

The process of acculturation can have four outcomes: assimilation, integration, separation, and marginalization. These four outcomes are shown in the picture to the right.

- **Assimilation** is when one culture loses its original identity and takes on the identity of the other culture (in the picture, all of the blue dots become red dots).
- **Integration** is when one culture still has some of its original identity while also trying to be a part of the other culture (in the picture, there are still blue dots in the larger circle, but some blue dots are trying to “act” or “look like” red dots; some red dots may try to look like blue dots too).
- **Separation** is when there is an interaction between the two cultures, but nothing is exchanged, the cultures do not change (in the picture, the red and blue dots are in the same circle, but none of them change color).
- **Marginalization** is when no interaction occurs between the two cultures and one culture loses their own culture (in the picture, the blue dots are in their own circle and are not colored in, while the red dots remain unchanged).

## Social science

Anthropologists, psychologists, and sociologists all use acculturation to help explain changes that happen when cultures interact. One way of measuring levels of acculturation is through acculturative stress.

This measurement helps relate acculturation to other ideas or issues and helps researchers understand what happens to individuals and groups during acculturation. Many studies have looked at acculturative stress and health of individuals. Other acculturation research studies have focused on immigrant populations to the United States and other minority groups.
