As a non-profit corporation incorporated

As a non-profit corporation incorporated under German law, KDE e.V. is required to declare its intentions and by-laws in a formal "Articles of Association" document. The original and legally binding version is the German version, the "Satzung" (PDF). The following translation is for information only.
Clarification of Terminology

    Under these Articles of Association we consider computer programs as free software, or "open source software", which the originator puts into the public domain free of charge and in an irretrievable manner. In doing so, the originator allows others the freedom to use the program for any purpose, to study how the program functions, to adapt it to his/her own needs, to copy it for others and to improve the program and make these changes available for the common good.
    Developing free software in the sense of these Articles of Association consists of research and compilation of basic principles and concepts as well as their test by programming and test of free software which implement such concepts and basic principles.
    "K Desktop Environment (KDE)" is a graphic work environment containing not only the infrastructure for programs but also user programs, including sounds, pictures, documents and translations. It is being developed as free software and is made available to the general public free of charge.

1. Company Name, Registered Office, Financial Year

    The Association is registered as K Desktop Environment e.V., abbreviation KDE e.V.
    The Association’s registered offices are located in Tübingen. Should no fixed registered office be established, it will be managed from the residence of the respective Board member acting as general manager at any given time.
    It is listed under register number 1301 in the Tübingen District Court’s Register of Associations.
    The financial year is the calender year.

2. Purpose of the Association

    The Association’s purpose is the promotion and distribution of free desktop software in terms of free software, and the program package "K Desktop Environment (KDE)" in particular, to promote the free exchange of knowledge and equality of opportunity in accessing software as well as education, science and research.
    The aim of the Association is to promote
        education, exchange of opinions and cooperation between users, developers and researchers
        research and debate on the impact of free desktop software and the notion of free software on society and science
        continuous development and research into free desktop software
        enhanced access to free desktop software, supporting pictures, sounds, data and documentation and the compilation and distribution of relevant material
        contributions and articles providing competent information to the public within the association’s field of activity and presence at trade fares and congresses, making information available to a broad spectrum of users.
        organisation of congresses and lectures open to the general public, which aim at promoting further training of project members and users
        protection of the project members free rights protecting them from the commercial interests of third parties
    Amendment of the association’s purpose may only be made in accordance with § 3 (1).

3. Non-profit Association

    The activities of the Association are exclusively and directly limited to non-profit activities as stipulated in § 2 of the Articles of Association and to tax-privileged purposes in accordance with §§ 51ff. AO (German Tax Regulations). Its activities are for the common good and are not pursued primarily for the purpose of profit making.
    The Association’s financial means may only be used for purposes stipulated in the Articles of Association. Members will only be reimbursed for their expenses but will not receive any direct benefits out of the Association’s funds.
    It is not permitted to favour somebody through association expenditures, which do not serve the associations purpose or are disproportionately high. Reimbursements for expenditures are made in accordance with the Federal Travel Expenses Code should no other legal regulations apply.

4. Types of Membership and Members of the Association

    Both natural persons and legal bodies wanting to implement and promote the aims of the association may become members. Taking into account the international character of the Association and to give members the possibility to stop actively supporting and developing KDE without necessarily losing their membership, the following types of memberships are available:
        Active members are natural persons supporting the Association’s purpose and aims through their cooperation and who in doing so take over the complete duties of an association member. Primarily, they are expected to cooperate, participate in the general assembly and exercise their voting rights.
        Extraordinary members are natural persons and legal bodies, who through their membership declare their support of the Association’s purposes and aims, while refraining from voting rights and the exertion of the active members’ right to participate in the general assemblies. Legal bodies chose a representative to exercise the remaining rights and duties.
        Supporting Members are extraordinary members supporting the Association’s purposes and aims primarily through financial or material contributions. If desired, their names will be published on the Association’s website, and they have the right to participate in the general meetings. They do not have any voting rights.

    An active membership will be granted if suggested by a member and supported by two other active members, if the general meeting decides to grant it or if a simple majority of the active members is obtained by means of an internet vote. The main criterion for granting membership should be the candidate’s commitment over a longer period of time and the contributions he/she made in order to fulfil the Association’s aims.

    An active member can change status to that of an extraordinary member by submitting his request to the Board. Should an active member not fulfil the above mentioned duties over a period of two consecutive general meetings, the membership will automatically change into an extraordinary membership. An extraordinary member, but not a supporting member, can submit an application to become an active member to the Board. The Board decides whether or not to accept a supporting member.
    The membership terminates due to exit, expulsion, death, or – in the case of legal bodies – due to the loss of its legal status. The membership may be terminated on December 31st of each year, and a written request has to be submitted to the Board at least 4 weeks prior.

    The expulsion of a member is reserved for critical situations, and generally it will be considered preferable to find a peaceful solution. The expulsion becomes effective immediately after the Board’s decision. The following reasons may cause an expulsion:
        if a member seriously violates regulations contained in the Articles of Association and/or the purpose and aim of the Association, and an attempt to clarify the situation was unsuccessful; and
        if the membership fees are not paid over a period of 12 months despite repeated reminders.

    Before such a decision will be taken, the member must have the opportunity to justify or explain his/her actions. An objection to such an expulsion may be filed with the Board within four weeks and will be voted on during the next general meeting. Until such decision will be taken by the general meeting, the member’s rights and duties remain dormant.
    If a member leaves the Association or the Association is liquidated, no member has a right of reimbursement for the assets he/she may have contributed.

5. Organs of the Association

The organs of the Association are:

    the General Assembly and
    the Board.

6. General Assembly

    The General Assembly consists of all of the Association’s active members, who have one vote.
    The General Assembly takes place at least once a year. The Board invites the members per mail or email, providing a preliminary agenda. The invitation has to be sent at least six weeks prior to the meeting. The time limit starts on the day after the invitation letter was sent. The date of the post mark and the date when the email was sent are binding. The invitation letter is considered as delivered, if it was addressed to the last address the member advised in writing. The members may submit additional agenda items to the board either in writing or electronically until two weeks before the assembly. The date when the letter or email was received is binding. The Board will publish the final agenda in the internet, and the address is to be mentioned in the written invitation.
    If it is in the Association’s interest, an extraordinary General Assembly may be called for. If this request is submitted to the Board in written form by at least 20% of the members, the Board is compelled to call for an extraordinary General Assembly within six weeks. The member’s request must contain the desired agenda item.
    Independent from the number of members present, the General Assembly only has a quorum if the invitation was submitted in proper form. It nominates one of the members present as head of the General Assembly. Unless otherwise decided by the General Assembly, all decisions will be taken openly by show of hands and with a simple majority. Should the number of pro and contra votes should be equal, the application is considered as dismissed.
    Differing from (4), a majority of ? of the votes of the General Assembly and a minimum of half of the votes of all active members are necessary to amend the Articles of Association or decide the liquidation of the Association.
    An active member who cannot personally participate in the General Assembly may ask another member, who will be personally present, to represent him during the General Assembly. The representative will exercise both members’ voting rights. The representative will legitimise himself at the beginning of the General Assembly by presenting to the Board the original of a written authorisation. A representative may represent a maximum of two additional members.

7. Duties of the General Assembly

    The General Assembly is the highest decision making organ of the Association and is generally in charge of all duties, unless these Articles of Association have assigned specific duties to another organ of the Association.

    The General Assembly elects the board from a number of active members. The people obtaining the largest numbers of votes will be elected. Ballot papers will be provided to cast the votes.
    The General Assembly may deselect a board member. Differing from (1), this process requires the majority of votes of all active members.
    The General Assembly decides about the objections of members the Board intends to expel.
    The General Assembly receives the Board’s annual report as well as the audit report of the auditor and discharges the board’s responsibilities.
    The right to decide about amendments to the Articles of Association or a liquidation of the association is reserved to the General Assembly.
    Namely the annual accounts and the annual report have to be presented in written format to the General Assembly for decision making and discharge of the board. It calls on two auditors, who belong neither to the board nor any other panel appointed by the board and who are not employed by the association, in order to audit the accounting and annual report and relate their results to the General Assembly. The auditors have access to all of the Association’s accounting documents.
    Furthermore the General Assembly has the exclusive right to decide about:
        any purchase of, sale of or charges on real property,
        any investment in other companies and
        raising loans of EUR 10,000 and more
    It has the right to decide about all matters board or members submit to it.

8. The Board

    The Board consists of 5 persons, and only natural persons can be board members. They are elected for a 3 years term. Re-election is permitted. The respective board members remain in office after expiration of their term until a successor is elected.
    From its midst the Board elects a chairman and two proxies. One of the proxies is the treasurer. Re-election is permitted.
    The Board’s duties, namely all regulations pertaining to calling for board meetings, meeting procedures and voting process are stipulated in the by-laws of the board, which it has to decide unanimously.
    The board decides about all matters pertaining to the association, unless a decision of the General Assembly is required. It implements the decisions taken by the General Assembly.
    Each individual board member has the right to represent the Association to outside parties.
    Should a board member quit while in office, the board appoints a provisional board member on the basis of an internet vote in which all active members participate. The provisional board member remains in office until the General Assembly takes place. The General Assembly decides about the definite succession within the board.
    In accordance with §30 BGB (German Civil Code) the board can decide to appoint a full-time director as a special representative, who manages all of the Association’s current affairs and acts as supervisor of the Association’s full-time employees. Decisions pertaining to work contracts, dismissal and admission of new members may only be taken by the board.
    The director is committed to participate in the General Assemblies and has the right or duty (if the board demands it) to participate in the board meetings. He has the right of speech in all meetings and is accountable to all organs of the association.
    Amendments to the Articles of Association demanded by regulatory, court or financial authorities for formal reasons may be undertaken by the board. The General Assembly has to be informed of such amendments in its next meeting.

9. By-Laws

The by-laws govern all details of the Associations activities which are not covered in the Articles of Association. The Board implements the by-laws following the members approval. The members' approval is obtained by means of an internet vote and a simple majority of the active members.
10. Meeting Minutes

All decisions taken by the Board and General Assembly will be documented in writing and are available for the members' perusal.
11. Labour Agreements

Before hiring a full-time employee the board will regulate the remuneration in the by-laws.
13. Financing of the Association

    The funds required for the Association are raised through
        membership fees,
        contributions by the federal states, town councils and other public bodies,
        donations,
        other financial contributions made by third parties,
        benefits paid to the Association for activities it pursues for the common good, including lectures.
    The members pay fees based on the decision taken by the General Assembly or by the active members in an internet vote with a simple majority. Once defined the membership fees will be incorporated in the by-laws.
    In case of a liquidation of the Association or termination of its tax-privileged status all its assets will become property of Deutsche Unesco-Kommision e.V. , Colmantstra?e 15, D-53115 Bonn, which has to use them exclusively and directly for non-for-profit purposes only. In this case decisions about the future use of the Associations assets may only be implemented upon consent of the tax and revenue office.

Predynastic period

The Nile Valley of Egypt was basically uninhabitable until the work of clearing and irrigating the land along the banks of the river was started.[1] However it appears that this clearance and irrigation was largely under way by about 6000 BC. By that time, society in the Nile Valley was already engaged in organized agriculture and the construction of large buildings in the Nile Valley.[2] At this time, Egyptians in the southwestern corner of Egypt were herding cattle and also constructing large buildings. Mortar was in use by 4000 BC. The people of the Nile Valley and on delta were self-sufficient and were raising barley and emmer (an early variety of wheat) and stored it in pits lined with reed mats.[3] They raised cattle, goats and pigs and they wove linens and baskets.[4] The Predynastic Period continues through this time, variously held to begin with the Naqada culture.

Between 5500 and 3100 BC, during Egypt's Predynastic Period, small settlements flourished along the Nile, whose delta empties into the Mediterranean Sea. By 3300 BC, just before the first Egyptian dynasty, Egypt was divided into two kingdoms, known as Upper Egypt, Ta Shemau, to the south, and Lower Egypt, Ta Mehu, to the north.[5] The dividing line was drawn roughly in the area of modern Cairo.

The Tasian culture was the next to appear in Upper Egypt. This group is named for the burials found at Der Tasa, a site on the east bank of the Nile between Asyut and Akhmim. The Tasian culture group is notable for producing the earliest blacktop-ware, a type of red and brown pottery which has been painted black on its top and interior.[6]

The Badarian Culture, named for the Badari site near Der Tasa, followed the Tasian culture, however similarities between the two have led many to avoid differentiating between them at all. The Badarian Culture continued to produce the kind of pottery called Blacktop-ware (although its quality was much improved over previous specimens), and was assigned the Sequence Dating numbers between 21 and 29.[7] The significant difference, however, between the Tasian and Badarian culture groups which prevents scholars from completely merging the two together is that Badarian sites use copper in addition to stone, and thus are chalcolithic settlements, while the Tasian sites are still Neolithic, and are considered technically part of the Stone Age.[7]

The Amratian culture is named after the site of el-Amra, about 120 km south of Badari. El-Amra was the first site where this culture group was found unmingled with the later Gerzean culture group; however, this period is better attested at the Naqada site, thus it is also referred to as the Naqada I culture.[8] Black-topped ware continued to be produced, but white cross-line ware, a type of pottery which was decorated with close parallel white lines crossed by another set of close parallel white lines, began to be produced during this time. The Amratian period falls between S.D. 30 and 39 in Petrie's Sequence Dating system.[9] Trade between Upper and Lower Egypt was attested at this time, as newly excavated objects indicate. A stone vase from the north was found at el-Amra, and copper, which is not present in Egypt, was apparently imported from the Sinai, or perhaps from Nubia. Obsidian[10] and an extremely small amount of gold[9] were both definitively imported from Nubia during this time. Trade with the oases was also likely.

Week News Abstract For SFP Series in 10GTEK: Argument

In philosophy and logic, an argument is an attempt to persuade someone of something, by giving reasons or evidence for accepting a particular conclusion.[1][2] The general structure of an argument in a natural language is that of premises (typically in the form of propositions, statements or sentences) in support of a claim: the conclusion.[3][4][5] Many arguments can also be formulated in a formal language. An argument in a formal language shows the logical form of the natural language arguments obtained by its interpretations.

In a typical deductive argument, the premises are meant to provide a guarantee of the truth of the conclusion, while in an inductive argument, they are thought to provide reasons supporting the conclusion's probable truth.[6] The standards for evaluating other kinds of arguments may rest on different or additional criteria than truth, however, such as the persuasiveness of so-called "indispensability claims" in transcendental arguments[7] or even the disclosure of new possibilities for thinking and acting.[8]

The criteria used in evaluating arguments and their forms of reasoning are studied in logic.[9] Ways of formulating arguments effectively are studied in rhetoric (see also: Argumentation theory).

Starter Edition characters are unable to gain experience after reaching level 20, and there are other restrictions in effect for Starter Edition accounts, including the inability to trade, use public chat channels, join guilds, or amass more than ten gold.

Regulation of blood flow in the skin

Blood flow in the cutaneous resistance vessels and the subcutaneous venous plexus are both neurally and locally regulated. However, there are some important differences. One is, that cutaneous resistance vessels exhibit a basal tone independently of innervation in reaction to passive stretch induced by blood pressure (Rowell. 1974). This intrinsic basal tone is normally absent in cutaneous capacitance vessels .

Along with this basal tone, all resistance vessels in the skin receive a tonic outflow from sympathetic vasoconstrictor fibers. This tonic outflow is inversely associated with body temperature. Vasodilation therefore occurs passively in resistance vessels the (alpha-adrenergic) vasoconstrictor tone decreases. Furthermore, an active neurogenic vasodilation must be assumed in the human skin. However, it is not clear if this vasodilation is mediated by specific vasodilator nerve fibers or if neuro-humoral effects are involved that are associated with the sympathetic cholinergic activation of sweat glands (Rowell. 1993; Lembeck & Holzbauer. 1988). Although some experiments lead to the conclusion that sympathetic outflow is involved in facial vasodilation[2] 40 years of research have not clarified the mechanism behind active vasodilation.

Cutaneous veins also are richly innervated with sympathetic vasoconstrictor fibers. The effect of activation of the outflow of these fibers is reduced by local cooling. In addition, cutaneous veins are temporarily reactive to various other stimuli. Each of the following can cause remarkably intense venoconstriction without obvious value to the organism: emotional stimuli (e.g. startle, apprehension, discomfort), hyperventilation, deep inspiration, and the Valsalva maneuver (Rowell. 1974).

In resistance vessels, increased pressure mainly increases flow per time unit. In the cutaneous venous plexus with its generally slow flow rate, pressure mainly influences volume. Because of its enormous volume variability and its large potential capacity the venous plexus is believed to determine skin color (Rowell. 1993; Mellander, Andersson, Afzelius, & Hellstrand. 1982; Rowell. 1974). Since pronounced blushing is also characterized by a deep reddening of the skin, vasodilation of the venous plexus is probably the physical mechanism underlying it. Emotional blushing is only visible or apparent in a specific area called the blush region. The area is restricted to the face, ears, neck, and in some rare cases the upper body. Two main hypotheses to explain this regional restriction have been proposed. One is that vasodilation takes place throughout the entire skin of the body but is only visible in the blush region due to special anatomical structure of that region. The second is that a specific form of vasodilation takes place exclusively in the blush region. It is likely, that a combination of these two factors accounts for blushing.

Macomnet brings dark fiber pairs to IXcellerate data center

Macomnet, a joint venture of Moscow Metro and Andrew Corp., says it has delivered 64 dark fiber pairs to IXcellerate, the Russian Alliance Member of the International Data Centre Group. The delivery is part of Phase I construction of IXcellerate’s Moscow 1 Data Center. This phase continues after completion of a temporary “meet-me-room” and steel works.

IXcellerate is a data center project founded by Guy Willner, founder and former CEO of IXEurope and former president Europe for Equinix Inc., and Cliff Gauntlett, former senior vice president of Golden Telecom. The project seeks to build and operate a 6,200-sq-m carrier-neutral data center in Moscow on a 15,000-sq-m campus. The construction process has three phases, with the first 1000-sq-m scheduled to be operational in the fourth quarter of this year.

Macomnet says the dark fibers will provide IXcellerate with the capacity and flexibility to accommodate future growth, as well as improve reliability and performance.
