En-route home, you see a pair of shoes being sold on the street. You want the shoe. The seller sees that and says, “Karibu siste. Kujaribu ni bure” (Welcome, my sister. It’s free to try on). You do. He tells you it goes well with your dressing. You know this but the assurance is still welcome and your excitement at hearing this shows in your face. "Hiyo kiatu ni ya mguu yako madam." (That shoe fits you perfectly madam). And with this he proceeds to gather and wrap your “old” pair in a plastic bag, and while giving the package to you says, “Nipe mia tatu tu” (Give me three hundred shillings only). And you find yourself reaching for the purse and giving him the money. Several closes have just happened. A minor close (try it on), a test close (you do), a custom-fit close (the shoe was created for your foot) and the ultimate one, the assumptive close (wrapping the old pair without asking you if you are buying but instead assuming that you will; and you do).
In the corporate world, you have a contract you need signed. It could be account opening, tenancy agreement or purchase of an elevator. Everything before this stage of signing pans out and the client is happy. Being human however, he hesitates. You say, “Let’s go over the main points together. Is this ok?” (minor close). We will ship in the elevator in six weeks and install it on the fourteenth week of the project which will be two weeks after it gets here. Is this correct? (Test close). The project manager and contractor have assured you and I that the specifications of the elevator are a perfect fit for the shaft. I’m I right? (Custom-fit close). With yeses at every stage so far, you very casually remove your Parker pen from inside your coat pocket, open and turn the handle towards him with one hand and, with the other hand, the page with the dotted line and the bank funds transfer form, and say, “Please sign here and here” (assumptive close). He signs.
The waiter at the pub asks, “Moto ama baridi?” (Warm or cold?). This is the alternative close. Notice how it does not matter what response you give- either way the sale happens. In the corporate world, “Do you want to sign with the blue pen or the black one?” or “Would you like to pay by cheque or cash, Sir?” or “would you like us to meet at 8.30am Monday, or is the following day, Tuesday 10am better?" Plenty other ways to close happen in our everyday lives. Look out and learn from them.
As this column has shown, what really makes closing difficult is the fear of rejection more than the tightening of the stomach at the moment of closing. And it’s just that: a moment.
Why do buyers hesitate to buy at the time of closing yet are ripe for it? Because they are human. You and I aren’t any different. Now that you are equipped, give these techniques your best shot. The knot in your stomach won’t go away when you do; it’ll still be there. It never goes away no matter how fluent you are. However, repeatedly putting your best foot forward will tame it, and more importantly, get you to complete the sales process.


Intelligent glasses, head-mounted displays, egocentric vision devices, and similar “smart eyewear” have recently emerged as interesting research platform for a range of research fields including, ubiquitous computing, computer vision, and social sciences. As most of the human senses are situated on the head, we believe that these types of devices have significant potential as a research and product platform for a wide range of wearable assistive systems in human computer interaction. While early prototypes were too bulky to be worn on a regular basis in daily life, new devices, such as Google Glass and J!NS Meme, look more and more like normal glasses, are light-weight, and allow for long-term use enabling new interaction paradigms.
The proposed workshop will bring together researchers from a wide range of computing disciplines, such as mobile and ubiquitous computing, eye tracking, optics, computer vision, human vision and perception, privacy and security, usability, as well as systems research.
Workshop submission deadline: Jne 06 2016 Feedback to authors: June 14 2016 Camera ready version: June 25 2016
Workshop candidates are requested to send a position paper (4 pages in the ACM SIGCHI non-archival Extended Abstracts template (landscape format)) to the organizers about their research. All submissions should be sent as PDF to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with "EyeWear 2016 Submission" as email subject.

5. The Switch, callbacks and interrupts¶
The pyboard has 2 small switches, labelled USR and RST. The RST switch is a hard-reset switch, and if you press it then it restarts the pyboard from scratch, equivalent to turning the power off then back on.
The USR switch is for general use, and is controlled via a Switch object. To make a switch object do:
>>> sw = pyb.Switch()
Remember that you may need to type import pyb
if you get an error that
the name pyb
does not exist.
With the switch object you can get its status:
>>> sw()
False
This will print False
if the switch is not held, or True
if it is held.
Try holding the USR switch down while running the above command.
5.1. Switch callbacks¶
The switch is a very simple object, but it does have one advanced feature:
the sw.callback()
function. The callback function sets up something to
run when the switch is pressed, and uses an interrupt. It’s probably best
to start with an example before understanding how interrupts work. Try
running the following at the prompt:
>>> sw.callback(lambda:print('press!'))
This tells the switch to print press!
each time the switch is pressed
down. Go ahead and try it: press the USR switch and watch the output on
your PC. Note that this print will interrupt anything you are typing, and
is an example of an interrupt routine running asynchronously.
As another example try:
>>> sw.callback(lambda:pyb.LED(1).toggle())
This will toggle the red LED each time the switch is pressed. And it will even work while other code is running.
To disable the switch callback, pass None
to the callback function:
>>> sw.callback(None)
You can pass any function (that takes zero arguments) to the switch callback.
Above we used the lambda
feature of Python to create an anonymous function
on the fly. But we could equally do:
>>> def f():
... pyb.LED(1).toggle()
...
>>> sw.callback(f)
This creates a function called f
and assigns it to the switch callback.
You can do things this way when your function is more complicated than a
lambda
will allow.
Note that your callback functions must not allocate any memory (for example they cannot create a tuple or list). Callback functions should be relatively simple. If you need to make a list, make it beforehand and store it in a global variable (or make it local and close over it). If you need to do a long, complicated calculation, then use the callback to set a flag which some other code then responds to.
5.2. Technical details of interrupts¶
Let’s step through the details of what is happening with the switch
callback. When you register a function with sw.callback()
, the switch
sets up an external interrupt trigger (falling edge) on the pin that the
switch is connected to. This means that the microcontroller will listen
on the pin for any changes, and the following will occur:
- When the switch is pressed a change occurs on the pin (the pin goes from low to high), and the microcontroller registers this change.
- The microcontroller finishes executing the current machine instruction, stops execution, and saves its current state (pushes the registers on the stack). This has the effect of pausing any code, for example your running Python script.
- The microcontroller starts executing the special interrupt handler
associated with the switch’s external trigger. This interrupt handler
get the function that you registered with
sw.callback()
and executes it. - Your callback function is executed until it finishes, returning control to the switch interrupt handler.
- The switch interrupt handler returns, and the microcontroller is notified that the interrupt has been dealt with.
- The microcontroller restores the state that it saved in step 2.
- Execution continues of the code that was running at the beginning. Apart from the pause, this code does not notice that it was interrupted.
The above sequence of events gets a bit more complicated when multiple interrupts occur at the same time. In that case, the interrupt with the highest priority goes first, then the others in order of their priority. The switch interrupt is set at the lowest priority.
5.3. Further reading¶
For further information about using hardware interrupts see writing interrupt handlers.

DA: Peabody boy struck by car has died
by EndPlayPEABODY, Mass. - A 13-year-old boy has died after being hit by a car in Peabody, the Essex District Attorney announced Wednesday.
On Tuesday night, Peabody Police were called to the Walgreens Plaza on Route 114 for a reported crash at around 8:45 p.m. Police say a 13-year-old boy was trying to cross Route 114 on a bicycle when he was hit by a car.
The boy was taken to Salem Hospital where he later died. His name is not being released.
The driver, a 19-year-old Peabody man, is cooperating with the investigation and has not been charged.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the victim at this incredibly difficult time," said Peabody Police Chief Thomas Griffin.
The crash remains under investigation.
Following the announcement of the boy's death, in a statement, the Superintendent of Peabody Schools said:
"We are saddened by the great loss to our school community and we are respecting the families wishes for privacy at this most difficult time. Please keep the family in your thoughts. Support services will be available to students as needed."
Editor's note: A previous version of this story said the boy was hit last week. It has since been corrected to reflect he was struck by a car on Tuesday night and later passed away.

Susan Granger's review of "THIS IS MY FATHER" (Sony Pictures Classics)
This Irish romantic drama is a uniquely personal collaboration between first-time writer-director Paul Quinn and his brothers Aidan Quinn ("Michael Collins," "Practical Magic") and Declan Quinn (cinematographer on "Leaving Las Vegas," "One True Thing"). It's the bittersweet story of a Chicago schoolteacher (James Caan) who travels to Ireland to discover his roots and learns the sad, true "Romeo and Juliet"-type tale of his mother and the father he never met. The screenplay stemmed from a story the Quinns' Irish-born mother used to tell about ill-fated lovers in her village. The couple's secret is something the tight-lipped locals still refuse to discuss - 50 years later. Told in flashback, Aidan Quinn plays Kieran, a shy tenant farmer, who meets Fiona (Moya Farrelly), a lovely, free-spirited 17 year-old, and they fall in love.  Eventually, the community, mobilized by a tyrannical priest (Stephen Rea), manages to separate them. The acting is admirable with a stalwart supporting cast that includes John Cusack, Colm Meaney, Brendan Gleeson, and Donal Donnelly. The weakness of the film is the contrived structure. Paul Quinn's tragic story-line is so full of hackneyed interruptions that it loses its power - which is too bad since the poetic imagery evokes a society smothering under the weight of doomy superstition and inevitable tradition. On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "This is My Father" is a gentle, moving 6. And the family collaboration will continue as the Quinn brothers' Ireland-based sister Marian is developing a script about four Dublin girls.

cloudmesh.mongo.DataBaseDecorator module¶
-
class
cloudmesh.mongo.DataBaseDecorator.
DatabaseAlter
(**kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
object
The data base decorator automatically replaces an entry in the database with the dictionary returned by a function.
It is added to a MongoDB collection. The location is determined from the values in the dictionary.
The name of the collection is determined from cloud and kind:
cloud-kind
In addition each entry in the collection has a name that must be unique in that collection.
In most examples it is pest to separate the upload from the actual return class. This way we essentially provide two functions one that provide the dict and another that is responsible for the upload to the database.
Example:
cloudmesh.example.foo contains:
class Provider(object)
- def entries(self):
- return {
- “cm”: {
“cloud”: “foo”, “kind””: “entries”, “name”: “test01” “test”: “hello”}
} “cloud”: “foo”, “kind””: “entries”, “name”: “test01” “test”: “hello”}
cloudmesh.example.bar contains:
class Provider(object)
- def entries(self):
- return {
“cloud”: “bar”, “kind””: “entries”, “name”: “test01” “test”: “hello”}
cloudmesh.example.provider.foo:
from cloudmesh.example.foo import Provider as FooProvider from cloudmesh.example.foo import Provider as BarProvider
class Provider(object)
- def __init__(self, provider):
- if provider == “foo”:
provider = FooProvider()
- elif provider == “bar”:
provider = BarProvider()
@DatabaseUpdate def entries(self):
provider.entries()
Separating the database and the dictionary creation allows the developer to implement different providers but only use one class with the same methods to interact for all providers with the database.
In the combined provider a find function to for example search for entries by name across collections could be implemented.
-
class
cloudmesh.mongo.DataBaseDecorator.
DatabaseImportAsJson
(**kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
object
Updating the database using MongoImport.
expects a dictionary with the following format:
- { ‘db’: Name of the database (cloudmesh by default),
‘collection’: Name of the collection to be saved in the db, ‘data’ : DATA}
The data should be an array of dict.
-
class
cloudmesh.mongo.DataBaseDecorator.
DatabaseUpdate

} “cloud”: “foo”, “kind””: “entries”, “name”: “test01” “test”: “hello”}
cloudmesh.example.bar contains:
class Provider(object)
- def entries(self):
- return {
“cloud”: “bar”, “kind””: “entries”, “name”: “test01” “test”: “hello”}
cloudmesh.example.provider.foo:
from cloudmesh.example.foo import Provider as FooProvider from cloudmesh.example.foo import Provider as BarProvider

- def __init__(self, provider):
- if provider == “foo”:
provider = FooProvider()
- elif provider == “bar”:
provider = BarProvider()
@DatabaseUpdate def entries(self):
provider.entries()
Separating the database and the dictionary creation allows the developer to implement different providers but only use one class with the same methods to interact for all providers with the database.
In the combined provider a find function to for example search for entries by name across collections could be implemented.

CNN's Powers: 'Thuggish' Trump Thinks He Is a King | Breitbart
by Pam KeyOn Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” network political analyst Kirsten Powers accused President Donald Trump of engaging in “thuggish” behavior.
Cooper said, “Kirsten, it will be interesting to see how the president decides to conduct himself this week, whether or not, you know, he continues to tweet against witnesses or about witnesses as they are testifying.”
Powers said, “Yeah. Why wouldn’t he keep doing what he always does? He seems incapable of not doing that. And I do think this moving people, punishing people, right, for testifying under oath and telling the truth, I think it’s thuggish. It really is. It’s beyond inappropriate, in the sense that the president operates like he’s a king, basically. Like these people are supposed to go up there and lie. They’ve been called before Congress. They’re telling the truth. They should not be punished for that. They work for the U.S. government, which is something that is actually bigger than Donald Trump.”

| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| BaseEntity<I> |
This is the base class for any set of classes that self-insert themselves into a Factory upon instantiation
The way it works that a user will need to create an Interface and an abstract class implementing this Interface.
|
| BaseEntityFactory<I> |
This is the parent factory class for all the factories.
|
BaseEntityFactory
and BaseEntity
. In short
what this infrastructure does is that if you create a factory that extends
BaseEntityFactory
and some Interface with all its concrete implementations
extending BaseEntity
then each your concrete implementation class instances will be
automatically inserted into your factory. You won't have to worry about how and when to populate your factory. The
infrastructure will do it for you when the constructor of your concrete implementation class is invoked. So all you
will have to do is to create any number of concrete implementation classes and make sure that for each one constructor
is invoked. After that you can use your factory to get any of your concrete implementation classes anywhere in your code.
This is short explanation. There are few more details but not that many.
Lets show it with an example. This infrastructure has Package com.mgnt.lifecycle.management.example
that has some sub-packages that contains source code example that demonstrate how this infrastructure is used. So in
this javadoc the same classes will be used. Please see the source code of that package to get all the details.
Say you have an Interface called
InfoFormatter
that has a single method
InfoFormatter.formatMessage(java.lang.String)
. Obviously this method
takes some text and formats it according some logic that would be implemented in each concrete implementation.
Next we need to create a factory for our concrete implementations. So we have a factory class
InfoFormatterFactory
that extends
BaseEntityFactory
This class look like this:
package com.mgnt.lifecycle.management.example;
import com.mgnt.lifecycle.management.BaseEntityFactory;
import java.util.Collection;
public class InfoFormatterFactory extends BaseEntityFactory<InfoFormatter> {
private static InfoFormatterFactory FACTORY = new InfoFormatterFactory();
private InfoFormatterFactory() {
}
public static InfoFormatterFactory getFactoryInstance() {
return FACTORY;
}
public static InfoFormatter getInstance(String key) {
return FACTORY.getEntity(key);
}
public static Collection<InfoFormatter> getAllInstances() {
return FACTORY.getAllEntities();
}
}
BaseEntity
and implementing your interface is created. Then all your concrete
implementations will extend this class. So in our case we will have
BaseInfoFormatter
that extends BaseEntity
and implements InfoFormatter
.
This class should look like this:
public abstract class BaseInfoFormatter extends BaseEntity<BaseInfoFormatter> implements InfoFormatter {
// This is mandatory part of the code for the infrastructure to work
private static final String FACTORY_TYPE = BaseInfoFormatter.class.getSimpleName();
static {
init(FACTORY_TYPE, InfoFormatterFactory.getFactoryInstance());
}
public BaseInfoFormatter() {
super(FACTORY_TYPE);
}
public BaseInfoFormatter(String customName) {
super(FACTORY_TYPE, customName);
}
// The end of mandatory part
// Some business logic methods that are common to all concrete implementations
//...
//Implementation of interface declared method
//...
}
JsonInfoFormatter
and XmlInfoFormatter
(both of them extending their abstract
parent class BaseInfoFormatter
). Here is how one of them might look,
(the second looks very similar so it is ommitted here)
public class JsonInfoFormatter extends BaseInfoFormatter {
private final static String CUSTOM_NAME = "JSON";
public JsonInfoFormatter() {
super(CUSTOM_NAME);
}
//Implementation of abstract method or overriding methods goes here
}
UsageExample
and in particular its methods
UsageExample.init()
(that is invoked in the main()
method) and looks as folllows
private static void init() {
new JsonInfoFormatter();
new XmlInfoFormatter();
}
UsageExample.printFormattedGreetings()
that looks
as follows
private static void printFormattedGreetings() {
InfoFormatter formatter = InfoFormatterFactory.getInstance("JSON");
System.out.println("JSON greeting: " + formatter.formatMessage(MESSAGE));
formatter = InfoFormatterFactory.getInstance("XML");
System.out.println("XML greeting: " + formatter.formatMessage(MESSAGE));
List<String> allMessages = new ArrayList<>();
for(InfoFormatter formattedMessage : InfoFormatterFactory.getAllInstances()) {
allMessages.add(formattedMessage.formatMessage(MESSAGE));
}
System.out.println("All greetings: " + allMessages);
}
InfoFormatterFactory.getInstance(java.lang.String)
to get ahold of our concrete implementations. This works because method init was invoked before. Note that in init method
we simply instantiate our concrete implementations and not saving any references to them. Thanks to the infrastructure,
during its instantiation each instance inserted itself into its factory and that allows it to be accessed through the
factory. As for the names ("XML" and "JSON") they are in our case defined in each concrete class and passed to the factory
through use of its parent constructor
BaseInfoFormatter.BaseInfoFormatter(java.lang.String)
which in turn will
invoke its parent constructor BaseEntity.BaseEntity(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
.
However, BaseEntity
provides another constructor
BaseEntity.BaseEntity(java.lang.String)
where custom name for entity is not
required. And the entity would be registered in its factory by its class name.
That was about how this infrastructure works. Now where would it be convenient and beneficial to use it? Note that in order
for infrastructure to work we had to invoke constructor for each concrete class. If only someone or something could
have done that for us, that would be magical. Well, this could be done for us by Spring framework. Remember that Spring
instantiate all it's defined beans during its initialization. So within Spring context if we simply declare our concrete
implementations as Spring beans, Spring would instantiate them for us, thus initializing their factory automatically.
This could be very convenient. Imagine that you have some bean that has a property of type
InfoFormatter
, but which actual implementation would be needed is determined
at runtime. So at that moment you can use
InfoFormatterFactory.getInstance(java.lang.String)
to access needed
implementation. This will allow you not to inject ALL your concrete instantiations into your bean and you won't have to
use Spring BeanFactory to access a Spring defined bean as that would violate non-intrusiveness of Spring (meaning
you can write components which have no dependency on Spring). Also, If at some later stage you will need to add
more concrete implementations, all you will have to do is to add your implementation classes to you code and declare
them to be Spring beans. The rest will be done by Spring and this infrastructure!


Code for our paper "CliqueCNN: Deep Unsupervised Exemplar Learning" https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.08792
Exemplar learning is a powerful paradigm for discovering visual similarities in an unsupervised manner. In this context, however, the recent breakthrough in deep learning could not yet unfold its full potential. With only a single positive sample, a great imbalance between one positive and many negatives, and unreliable relationships between most samples, training of Convolutional Neural networks is impaired. Given weak estimates of local distance we propose a single optimization problem to extract batches of samples with mutually consistent relations. Conflict- ing relations are distributed over different batches and similar samples are grouped into compact cliques. Learning exemplar similarities is framed as a sequence of clique categorization tasks. The CNN then consolidates transitivity relations within and between cliques and learns a single representation for all samples without the need for labels. The proposed unsupervised approach has shown competitivep erformance on detailed posture analysis and object classification.

A Network Address Translation, or NAT, is a method of remapping one IP address space into another by modifying network address information in IP datagram packet headers while they are in transit.
There are many home networks that use the same address space; however packets forwarded beyond the home network into larger global internet cannot use these addresses in any way, because there are hundreds of thousands of networks using this block of addresses. The home network addresses can only have meaning within the home network.
The NAT-enabled router does not look like a router to the outside world. It behaves as a single device with a single IP address. All of the traffic entering and exiting the home network must have the same source address and destination address.
The home network computers get their addresses and the router gets its single IP address from DHCP. DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a standardized network protocol used on IP networks. It is controlled by a DHCP server that dynamically distributes network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses. The router gets the IP address from the ISP's DHCP server, and the router runs a DHCP server to provide addresses to computers within the NAT-DHCP-router-controlled home network's address space.
Because all of the incoming datagrams have the same destination IP address, there has to be a way for the router to distinguish between internal hosts. The router does this by using a NAT Translation Table at the NAT router, which includes port numbers and IP addresses in the table.

Deputy sheriff’s son suspected of fatally shooting Alabama sheriff
by Temisan AmoyeThe son of an Alabama deputy sheriff is suspected of fatally shooting a neighboring county’s sheriff during a confrontation at a gas station on Saturday night, a report said.
William Chase Johnson, 18, whose dad is a deputy sheriff in Montgomery County, was arrested on suspicion of murdering Lowndes County Sheriff John Williams at a QV gas station in Hayneville, according to NBC News.

Details surrounding the fatal shooting were still murky as of early Monday. The state’s governor, Kay Ivey, had confirmed the news of Williams’ death via Twitter Saturday night.
“I’m saddened to hear about Sheriff Big John Williams, who was tragically killed this evening in the line of duty,” Ivey wrote.
“He will be remembered as a consummate professional and pillar of his community.”
Johnson was captured hours after the shooting when he returned to the scene early Sunday morning with a handgun, according to Sgt. Steve Jarrett, commander of state troopers’ Montgomery post.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office told local NBC affiliates that Johnson was the son of one of its deputies, the report said.
“Details as to how he fled the scene and then reappeared at the scene, all that’s going to be investigated,” Jarrett said, according to WSFA-TV.
Williams was first elected sheriff in 2010. He joined the department in 1987 and was appointed chief deputy in 1990.

Motivation
When it’s not there, life is tough, everything is a struggle, things you once enjoyed start to become a chore. Sound familiar to anyone?
Several years ago, I hit this very problem, and it’s taken until now for me to properly speak up about it.
So, why now? Simple really, I’m now at the total opposite stage.
2013 was a pretty crappy year, and to be honest so was most of 2014 – for a number of different reasons – and to top if off I really hit an all time low with ‘the internet’, to the point where I was ready to completely jack it all in and change career.
I don’t know when exactly, or what, triggered this. Looking back it was probably a number of things which all came together to hit me hard.
The ‘eureka’ moment came when I attended DDD North one of the sessions Burnout Is Real And It’s Coming To Get You struck a chord and really resonated with some of the issues I’d been facing.
I remember being sat next to a few developers on the day, and to say they were highly cynical of this was an understatement. It’s easy to judge when you’re not in that situation, the lack of empathy shown from these seasoned developers was shocking.
On the train back home I started to think about what Richard talked about. For the first time in what seemed like an age, I got my notepad out and started to write things down. I realise now that this was the start of the long road out of the dip I was in.
Fast forward 12 months, I’d just had a 121 with my team leads. It didn’t go well and this shocked me, deeply.
I felt like a failure, but I didn’t let it get me down – well, not too much – instead, afterwards I got my notepad out and again started to make notes.
I analysed what was said, whether I felt it fair or not – and let’s just be clear, not all of what was said was either fair or totally justified – I looked at reasons why these things may have been said, I looked at what I could do to stop things, to improve things.
These quiet musings, led me to one very clear epiphany – it was time for me to move jobs – this move turned out to be far more important that I could ever imagine.
I now blog more than I’ve ever done, I have more thoughts/opinions on things than I have done for a long long time. I find myself scribbling notes on side projects all the time, I have ideas on things – not just work related – a lot more.
Now, I don’t think this is sudden influx in motivation is entirely down to a move in jobs, but it’s certainly helped.
I attend more community meetups now, all which not only help get me thinking, but get me involved and talking to likeminded people in the Manchester web community. At Christmas I bought a Kindle. Rather than sleeping or wasting my commute to work, I’m making a conscious effort to read more, to get engrossed in a book, to let my imagination run wild.
I’ve also realised that I needed to have some outlets away from the internet, enter DIY and photography. I’m by no means great at either, but having that time away from the keyboard, away from the distractions of Twitter, allows me some amazing time to think about things, to process thoughts which I’d forgotten about.
Put all this together, and as you can probably guess, it’s really starting to have a positive impact on things.
The future is looking good.

We have all planned our trips to the clothing store in advance, vividly dreaming about what we would buy once there. Some of us even have sales assistants for friends and have often asked them for a favour or two during peak shopping season (read: festivals and sales). But what we can all admit to is that we have always wished it was easier than to go down to the store in dense traffic, navigating through throngs of fashionistas, all vying for the same trendy clothing items, waiting in line to try on our top picks in the trial rooms, etc.

Apt-Fast In Sparky Linux
Table of Contents
Background
I have an old eeePC netbook that I thought I'd revive by loading Sparky Linux onto it. One of the things I set up on it is apt-fast, which the README on the github repository describes like this:
apt-fast is a shellscript wrapper for apt-get and aptitude that can drastically improve apt download times by downloading packages in parallel, with multiple connections per package.
I've used it for a while on ubuntu but Sparky Linux didn't have it in the repositories. The apt-fast documentation has instructions for installing it on debian (and derivatives) and since Sparky Linux is based on debian (the current version, SparkyLinux 6.7 (Po-Tolo) is based on debian bullseye) I decided to try that. Ultimately I got it working, but as is often the case, it wasn't quite so straightforward as I would like for it to have been.
Unusual Ingredients List:
- SparkyLinux 6.7 (Po-Tolo)
- fish shell
The Intructions
Although the PPA system is built for Ubuntu, the recommendation from apt-fast is to use it with debian-based systems too (apt-fast is just a shell-script that runs aria2
and apt
(or apt-get
, etc.) so it's not like there's a lot of dependencies that might conflict). This is what they say to do.
Create An Apt Entry
First I created a file for the sources at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-fast.list
and put these lines in it.
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/apt-fast/stable/ubuntu bionic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/apt-fast/stable/ubuntu bionic main
Bionic came out in 2018 so they maybe haven't updated the instructions in a while.
Add the Keyring and Install
Once the file was in place I ran the commands.
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A2166B8DE8BDC3367D1901C11EE2FF37CA8DA16B
apt-get update
apt-get install apt-fast
The first output I saw was a warning:
Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
This is something I've seen on ubuntu as well so fixing it seemed like a useful thing to do, especially since at the end of the regular output I got an error.
Between the warning and the final error there was the usual output that I've seen:
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.YL04bWmGAF/gpg.1.sh --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A2166B8DE8BDC3367D1901C11EE2FF37CA8DA16B
gpg: key 1EE2FF37CA8DA16B: public key "Launchpad PPA for apt-fast" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1
Then came this, the error I mentioned, which is not what I usually see:
gpg: no writable keyring found: Not found
gpg: error reading '[stdin]': General error
gpg: import from '[stdin]' failed: General error
gpg: Total number processed: 0
I don't know if this is a debian problem or a sparky linux problem, but since you're not supposed to be using this method anyway, I went looking for a different solution.
The apt-key Solution
The Start of the Solution
The first part of the solution was pointed to by this Stack Overflow Answer. There was a problem with the answer, though, in that the person asking the question was using a URL that pointed to a gpg file, so the answers all assumed you could download it with curl, wget, etc. (all the answers that I could understand, anyway). So now that I had the answer I had a new problem - how do you get the file from the keyserver?
Getting the GPG File
Once again to the web, this time this answer from SuperUser seemed to work.
First, I made a temporary directory and pointed GNUPGHOME
to it so that I wasn't adding anything to my actual gpg setup (this is fish-shell syntax).
set -x GNUPGHOME $(mktemp -d)
echo $GNUPGHOME
showed that this created a file at /tmp/tmp.dUDUEgFQ0x
(but I didn't actually need to know that, I'm just mentioning it).
Taking the --recv-keys
argument from the instructions above (apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A2166B8DE8BDC3367D1901C11EE2FF37CA8DA16B
) I added the key.
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A2166B8DE8BDC3367D1901C11EE2FF37CA8DA16B
Next I made a place to put the gpg file.
sudo mkdir /etc/apt/keyrings
Then I output the file in my home directory (the GNUPGHOME
environment variable is only available to my user, so I put the file somewhere that I didn't need to be root, i.e. my home directory).
gpg -o A2166B8DE8BDC3367D1901C11EE2FF37CA8DA16B.gpg --export A2166B8DE8BDC3367D1901C11EE2FF37CA8DA16B
Then I moved the file into the directory I created for it.
sudo mv A2166B8DE8BDC3367D1901C11EE2FF37CA8DA16B.gpg /etc/apt/keyrings/
The SuperUser answer I linked to used gpg -ao
but the a
option makes it an "armored" file, and part of the Stack Overflow answer for setting up the key is about de-armoring it so I just left that option out.
Now Back to Setting it Up
So now that we have the keyring we need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-fast.list
file that we created at the beginning of this.
This is what I started with.
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/apt-fast/stable/ubuntu bionic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/apt-fast/stable/ubuntu bionic main
And I changed it to refer to the gpg file that I created.
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/A2166B8DE8BDC3367D1901C11EE2FF37CA8DA16B.gpg] http://ppa.launchpad.net/apt-fast/stable/ubuntu bionic main
deb-src [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/A2166B8DE8BDC3367D1901C11EE2FF37CA8DA16B.gpg] http://ppa.launchpad.net/apt-fast/stable/ubuntu bionic main
Update and Install
So then I updated apt and installed it.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apt-fast
And it worked.
And Now, Another Problem
This got me to a working apt-fast
installation but the fact that I was using bionic
seemed off to me so I decided to update the apt-fast.list
. Under the instructions for adding the PPA is this note.
Note that the PPA version bionic might need to be updated with the recent Ubuntu LTS codename to stay up-to-date.
So I went and looked up the Ubuntu Release Cycle and saw that "jammy" is the most recent version so I updated the apt-fast.list
file to match.
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/A2166B8DE8BDC3367D1901C11EE2FF37CA8DA16B.gpg] http://ppa.launchpad.net/apt-fast/stable/ubuntu jammy main
deb-src [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/A2166B8DE8BDC3367D1901C11EE2FF37CA8DA16B.gpg] http://ppa.launchpad.net/apt-fast/stable/ubuntu jammy main
And then I installed the newer version.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apt-fast
And I got a nice long stack-trace and error message at the bottom of which was this:
dpkg-deb: error: archive '/var/cache/apt/archives/apt-fast_1.9.12-1~ubuntu22.04.1_all.deb' uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst', giving up
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/apt-fast_1.9.12-1~ubuntu22.04.1_all.deb (--unpack):
dpkg-deb --control subprocess returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/apt-fast_1.9.12-1~ubuntu22.04.1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The part of it that seemed like it might matter the most was the fragment:
uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst', giving up~
What is a zst
file? According to wikipedia it's a "Zstandard" file and Debian and Ubuntu added support for using it to compress deb
packages back in 2018. There is a package listed in apt
called zstd
that it says supports zst
compression so I installed it but the error remained.
Once again, someone ran into this and asked about it on Stack Exchange. One of the answers said:
Debian’s dpkg package didn’t support zstd compression prior to version 1.21.18. Support was added just in time for Debian 12.
Since the SparkyLinux install is based on Debian 11 that seemed like it might be the problem. I checked the dpkg-version and got back:
Debian 'dpkg' package management program version 1.20.12 (i386).
So that seemed like the likely culprit. The ubuntu release dates page noted that there was a LTS version between "bionic" and "jammy" called "focal" so I edited the apt-fast.list
file again, replacing "jammy" with "focal" and re-ran the installation and so far… it works.
What Have We Learned Today Children?
Further down in the installation instructions it says that you can just download the files and install them along with the aria2
package, so going through this whole thing was kind of unnecessary, but getting around the apt-key problem was something that I'd wondered about before, so it might be useful in the future, if PPA creators keep using it and they don't come up with an automatic fix for it.
I guess the main thing I learned is that I should have read to the end of the instructions and picked the easy way out instead of trying to force the old familiar way to work.

Watch John Lewis Christmas advert featuring Excitable Edgar the dragon in full
Watch the full John Lewis Christmas advert 2019 as Edgar the excitable green dragon learns the true meaning of Christmas in this heart-warming tale
by Emmeline SaundersThe joint Waitrose and John Lewis Christmas advert 2019 is finally here - and it's a treat for those seeking a return to the heart-warming ads of old.
This year's visual delight sees Edgar the excitable green dragon teaming up with his best friend Ava in the run-up to Christmas.
The animated dragon can't contain his excitement for Christmas, resulting in total disaster every time he's introduced to the other people living in their historical village.
As Edgar and Ava join a group of children to build a snowman, Edgar attempts to stick a carrot on his chilly pal - but instead lets slip a puff of flame, instantly melting the kids' creation.
Unimpressed, the children stand with the arms crossed, looking annoyed at Edgar.
The next scene sees the villagers enjoying their ice-rink, skating round merrily under the crisp winter sky.
But once again, Edgar's excitement leads to destruction when he accidentally lights up the rink, sending the villagers into freezing slush.
Edgar's third chance of behaving himself comes when the whole community gathers in the village square to admire the lavishly decorated Christmas tree and the pretty lights.
But the dragon can't control himself, despite Ava wrapping a scarf around his snout, and manages to set the tree on fire, burning up all the Christmas decorations.
Close to tears, Edgar flees from the village, locking himself up at home so he can't bother anyone else.
It looks like that Edgar is going to give Christmas a miss despite it seemingly being his favourite time of the year.
However, Ava is determined to give Edgar the Christmas he's so desperate to enjoy, and knocks on his door bearing a wrapped gift - although her friend is too ashamed to see her.
The last scene of the advert shows the villagers getting together for their annual Christmas feast, with tables groaning under the weight of all their food.
Ava blows a bugle to announce the arrival of their guest of honour - but as Edgar walks in, everyone dives for cover.
Is this the moment that Christmas dinner is going to become deep and crisp and even with another blast from Edgar's fiery nostrils?
It's not until the dragon unveils the present Ava has given him that they breathe a sigh of relief: a perfectly shaped Christmas pudding gleams in his paws.
As the villagers relax, Edgar gently sets the dessert alight with a tiny puff of flame - and Christmas is saved.
The advert finishes with the message: "Show them how much you care."
The festive season has once again spread some Christmas cheer and Edgar has finally got the day he was hoping for.
The advert was made in partnership with ad agency adam&eveDDB, which was behind the first John Lewis tear-jerker, the story of the little boy who couldn't wait for Christmas in 2011.
It cost an estimated £8million and was filmed over two weeks in Bulgaria.
Loving little Ava is played by 10-year-old schoolgirl Ruby Dailly, who comes from Glasgow.
Ruby was chosen from thousands of youngsters for the role.
She said: "Ava keeps on being friends with the dragon, even though he sets everything on fire.
"He doesn't mean to so he gets sad whenever I’m mad at him."
Richard Brim, the London agency's chief creative officer, said experts whittled around 400 scripts down to a shortlist of 30 before choosing Edgar as this year's star turn.
He added: "There was something we really liked about him. Edgar loves Christmas - like just loves Christmas. Every time he sees something Christmasy, he can't control his fire.
"But obviously this can be quite detrimental to the Christmas period."
Dan Smith, lead singer of alt-pop band, Bastille said; “It’s so great to be asked to be part of this year’s John Lewis Christmas ad.
"As a band we’ve always had a lot of fun putting a twist on classic songs, and it’s been so good to be a part of this orchestral version of an eighties classic.
"We’re hoping we get an Edgar for Christmas too!”
With Edgar fever expected to sweep Britain, fans can give themselves the dragon look on Snapchat by turning into Edgar fire breathers with smoke coming out of their ears.
Craig Inglis, customer director at John Lewis & Partners, said of Edgar: "It started from a spark of an idea - a little dragon's excitement about Christmas - and became the story of how someone goes the extra mile for their best friend to give just the right gift.
"It's a funny, heart-warming story that will resonate with our customers as they seek out the perfect gifts for their loved ones this Christmas."
People are loving the advert.
One said on Twitter: "It's the first #johnlewischristmasadvert to make me cry since the bear and the hare, brilliant message that everyone has something to bring to the table"
"I want my own Edgar," another posted.
One fan said: "OMG! So good every year!"
While one wrote: "Christmas is officially here!"
Another viewer said: "I am completely and utterly in love with the new #johnlewischristmasadvert Edgar has completely melted my heart"
And one posted: "Well done @jlandpartners Back in the top spot for the Christmas ads! "
