Its reasons for doing so were not disclosed some speculate that it was due to the loss of mindshare with much of the community moving to LibreOffice while others suggest it was a commercial decision. In April 2011, Oracle stopped development of and fired the remaining Star Division development team. TDF released the fork LibreOffice in January 2011, which most Linux distributions soon moved to. In September 2010, the majority of outside developers left the project, due to concerns over Sun and then Oracle's management of the project and Oracle's handling of its open source portfolio in general, to form The Document Foundation (TDF). Oracle's lack of activity on or visible commitment to had also been noted by industry observers. Īfter acquiring Sun in January 2010, Oracle Corporation continued developing and StarOffice, which it renamed Oracle Open Office, though with a reduction in assigned developers. An alternative Public Documentation Licence (PDL) was also offered for documentation not intended for inclusion or integration into the project code base. Developers who wished to contribute code were required to sign a Contributor Agreement granting joint ownership of any contributions to Sun (and then Oracle), in support of the StarOffice business model. Many governments and other organisations adopted OpenDocument, particularly given there was a free implementation of it readily available.ĭevelopment of was sponsored primarily by Sun Microsystems, which used the code as the basis for subsequent versions of StarOffice.

Sun submitted the format to the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) in 2002 and it was adapted to form the OpenDocument standard in 2005, which was ratified as ISO 26300 in 2006. The XML file format – XML in a ZIP archive, easily machine-processable – was intended by Sun to become a standard interchange format for office documents, to replace the different binary formats for each application that had been usual until then. It quickly became noteworthy competition to Microsoft Office, achieving 14% penetration in the large enterprise market by 2004. became the standard office suite on many Linux distros and spawned many derivative versions.

On 19 July 2000 at OSCON, Sun Microsystems announced it would make the source code of StarOffice available for download with the intention of building an open-source development community around the software and of providing a free and open alternative to Microsoft Office.

Other active successor projects include LibreOffice (the most actively developed ) and NeoOffice (commercial, and available only for macOS). Apache renamed the software Apache OpenOffice.

It should be acknowledged more, though, that were these critics so determined to ignore and undermine any work which had involved someone who had ever said or done something distasteful, there would likely be nothing left for them to critique. He’s straight, white, male, and his work is often violent and traditionally masculine. Gibson is an easy target for moral outrage. A person who enjoys a Mel Gibson film irrespective of his past behaviour, who chooses to separate art from artist, does not inherit Gibson’s transgressions. To watch a film in which Mel Gibson stars and critique it on its own merits is not an endorsement of everything Mel Gibson has ever done. It’s patronising holier-than-thou nonsense designed to shame and vilify people with different ways of looking at art, artists, and the world. It is wilful ignorance, stupidity and complicity. And to allow his films, those that he has made or starred in, to exist without ferocious condemnation, is a failure of critics.

There's a well-done domino-chain of accidents involving a sleigh on a roof, for example.

These aren't black problems they are the problems of a nation. In his 1955 book, Notes of a Native Son, James Baldwin described America as having a "depthless alienation from oneself and one's people," and not "the faintest desire to look back." But the past, he went on, "is all that makes the present coherent, and further, the past will remain horrible for exactly as long as we refuse to assess it honestly."

I get to chatting with the driver, an African-American who looks to be in his 60s. My taxi passes meticulously preserved 19th-century homes, immaculate green lawns, stately, flowering trees. But on this evening in July, under a still bright-blue sky, the place is eerily quiet. Black and white photos of the civil rights movement had informed my vision of Montgomery: images of King entering the city at the head of a black voters' rights march in 1965 police dogs straining their leashes as African-American protesters emerge from a fog of tear gas white people, their faces contorted with hate, yelling at women carrying signs demanding the integration of public schools. ![]() ![]() ![]() The fact that the changes happen so fast is the reason it is hard to see with our naked eyes how each pixel changes color. In the case of videos, the change of colors for each pixel change in rapid succession at a speed that depends on the frames per second for the video being played on the display. That's how each pixel produces the desired color that when combined create the images that we see on the screen. In another scenario, turning on the red and green subpixels will produce yellow, turning on all the three subpixels produces white, and turning on-off all of them shows black. So, if you want to display an entirely red image, only the red sub-pixels shall emit light, which will then make the entire display to be red. Based on what you want to display, the amount of color that is produced by each dot may vary. Each of these dots is responsible for displaying one of the three primary colors, that are blue, green, and red. In any display, each pixel comprises three dots that can be called sub-pixels. Most of them have over 300 pixels per inch, which makes it almost impossible to see the individual Pixels with your naked eyes. This is most likely the case with most of the newer smartphones that have come through in recent years. In situations where the display has too many pixels per inch, you will likely not be able to see the individual Pixels – Apple calls this retina display. The combination of these small squares is what gives your TV the ability to display images and videos. If it does not move then it is most likely a dead pixel, if it does move then it is probably a mark on the outside of the screen.If you closely look at one of your TVs at home while it is turned on, you will see very small squares on the screen. Hint : After placing a Marker you can move about to check if the pixel moves in the area or not. if your screen is 1680x1050, make sure the resolution for that monitor is set at 1680x1050.ģ) Use the right mouse button to toggle the main menu on and off, so that you can see the whole screen without any interference.Ĥ) Use the left mouse button to toggle through the basic application colours of Black (Check for stuck on pixels), Blue (Check for dead blue pixels), Red (Check for dead red pixels), Green (Check for dead green pixels), and White (Check for dead pixel group)ĥ) Each time you select a new colour, scan your screen carefully looking for defects (Black spots will be dead pixels on any colour screen)Ħ) Use the key to toggle a Marker at any suspect point on the screen.This allows you to scan the rest of the screen and come back to that area/check the screen is clean.

PRTB resumed minimal operations on the fifth day after Hurricane Maria passed, with few staff members able to report for duty, and prioritized contacting patients receiving treatment for active TB. The Puerto Rico Department of Health recommended that shelters implement screening procedures for infectious diseases, such as rabies, TB, leptospirosis, and others, at the time of entry. In anticipation of the hurricane, as specified in its preparedness plan, PRTB provided all patients receiving treatment for active TB with a 1-month supply of anti-TB medications before the hurricane and encouraged patients to tell health officers at shelters about their diagnosis if they had to be relocated from their homes. However, the widespread and extended interruption in power and wireless communication made vDOT unavailable after the hurricane. Beginning in mid-2016, PRTB had transitioned some patients from self-administered or directly observed therapy to video-observed therapy (vDOT) using a smartphone. PRTB uses directly observed therapy as the standard of care to ensure adherence to treatment. The Puerto Rico Department of Health Tuberculosis Control Program (PRTB) conducts tuberculosis (TB) surveillance and control activities through six regional clinics, directed by a central office in San Juan. Although the island’s entire population was affected by Hurricane Maria, the poorer, more remote, and economically disadvantaged communities, as well as those with larger numbers of bedridden and elderly persons, fared worse ( 4) because they had less access to already depleted health care services, more fragile homes, and no alternative means for electricity generation. The devastation led to declaration of a major disaster, just 10 days after a similar declaration for Hurricane Irma, a Category 5 storm that left 1 million Puerto Ricans without electricity after its center passed approximately 57 miles north of Puerto Rico ( 2, 3). On the sixth day after the event, 58 (84%) of 69 hospitals on the island had no electric power or fuel for generators ( 1). The storm destroyed electricity and communication systems, left large areas without water service, and caused widespread damage to critical infrastructure, transportation, health care, and agriculture. The study provides insight into the sensitivity and recovery of vegetation after a major land-falling hurricane, and may lead to improved vegetation protection strategies.On September 20, 2017, Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico as a Category 4 storm, with sustained winds of 130–156 miles per hour, and 15–40 inches of rain causing catastrophic flash floods. For Dominica, where the whole island is within Hurricane Maria’s radius of maximum wind, the vegetation damage has no obvious relationship to elevation or distance. ![]() The results show that (1) there is a sudden drop in NDVI values after Hurricane Maria’s landfall (decreased about 0.2) which returns to near normal vegetation after 1.5 months (2) different land cover types have different sensitivities to Hurricane Maria, whereby forest is the most sensitive type, then followed by wetland, built-up, and natural grassland and (3) for Puerto Rico, the vegetation damage is highly correlated with distance from the storm center and elevation. ![]() Moreover, the changes in the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in the year 2017 are compared to reference years (20). In this paper, multitemporal Landsat 8 OLI and Sentinel-2 data are used to investigate vegetation damage on Dominica and Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria, and related influencing factors are analyzed. As the worst natural disaster on record in Dominica and Puerto Rico, Hurricane Maria in September 2017 had a large impact on the vegetation of these islands. ![]() ![]() ![]() See below for a list of supported clients.
