"Swiftfox was a web browser based on Mozilla Firefox. It was available for Linux platforms and distributed by Jason Halme. Swiftfox was a set of builds of Firefox optimized for different Intel and AMD microprocessors. Swiftfox was freely downloadable with open source code and proprietary binaries. Firefox extensions and plugins were compatible with Swiftfox, with notable exceptions. The name Swiftfox comes from the animal swift fox. Swiftfox differs from Firefox by a limited number of changes, and builds for different processors. Swiftfox was discontinued at some point prior to April 2017, and the project homepage now redirects to the creator's private Twitter account. Optimization The Swiftfox build is optimized using the following methods: Binary code optimization *Compiled with the highest level of compiler optimization, rather than optimization for binary size. ** Swiftfox is compiled -O3,Using url of about:buildconfig to check the details of the 2.0 builds (the highest level) ***The resulting Swiftfox binary is larger than Firefox. (-O3 is not necessarily faster than -O2, or -Os. -O3 introduces two more options on top of -O2: -finline-functions and -frename-registers. The latter is good for CPUs with many registers but may actually be slower on other CPUs.) **Firefox is compiled -Os. (-Os is the same as -O2 but removes optimizations which would increase the binary size.) *Binaries incorporate additional instruction sets. ** Intel and AMD: MMX, SSE, SSE2, (not generally SSE3). ** AMD only: 3DNow! *Optimization specific to the build microprocessor architecture. ** Intel: Pentium 4, Pentium 3, Pentium M, Pentium III, Pentium II, Pentium 4 (Prescott). ** AMD64: Athlon64 (32bit binary). ** AMD: Athlon XP, Athlon, K6-2. *Compiled with newer version of GCC (Firefox 2.0 uses 3.3.2, Swiftfox 2.0 uses 4.0.4). Increased security *Better protection from buffer overflow attacks (Swiftfox 2.0 uses -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2; Firefox 2.0 uses gcc 3.x, which does not support this). Simplify *Pango is not included in the build . This means that Unicode fonts remain supported (see Unicode and HTML), but without certain extra features provided by Pango. This simplification reduces the binary size, and reduces rendering. Changed default preference values *IPv6 DNS lookups are disabled. preventing slowdowns experienced *HTTP pipelining is enabled by default. Fasterfox provides a GUI to adjust these settings. *For full details, see . Swiftfox speed No definitive benchmarking has been reported, but a quicker startup time and a 1.7% webpage rendering speedup has been reported on version 1.5.0.6. There are no benchmarks for the different processors builds. Additional options Swiftfox is bundled with the following freely available Firefox plugins and extensions: *XForms extension is installed and enabled *libunixprintplugin.so plugin is installed License The same as Firefox, the Swiftfox source code is open-source, with the source code under MPL 1.1 except for parts relating to branding. Unlike Firefox, the Swiftfox binaries have a proprietary license which does not allow redistribution. According to the author, this is to prevent the possibility of any confusion with tainted versions (see the Firefox branding argument Mozilla Firefox#Trademark and logo issues). The name Swiftfox is trademarked by Jason Halme, and accordingly cannot be used on other third party Firefox builds without his permission. = Debian = Swiftfox binaries are available as Debian packages from official site. The proprietary binary license prevents Debian and other Linux distributions from having Swiftfox available as part of a distribution, so to redistribute Swiftfox one would have to change the name and icons.

"Purpurite, a very rare phosphate of manganese, from Sandamab pegmatite, Usakos, Namibia. Size: 5.4 x 4.6 x 1.9 cm. Bush fire in Usakos, 2009 Usakos (Damara: grab the heel, Otjiherero name: Okanduu) is a town on the banks of river Khan, 140 kilometres north-east of Swakopmund in the Erongo Region of Namibia. It is located on the B2 (Trans-Kalahari Highway), the main road between the Walvis Bay and Johannesburg. The town has 3,000 inhabitants and owns of land. Surrounded by mountains, Usakos is quite picturesque. Certain spots around the town show the longest uninterrupted horizon in the world. It is the closest town to the Spitzkoppe, often referred to as the "Matterhorn of Namibia". History The settlement was founded in the early 1900s as a workshop and watering station for locomotives. Herero chief Samuel Maharero sold the land to Europeans who resold it in 1903 to the Otavi Minen- und Eisenbahngesellschaft (Otavi Mining and Railway Company) (OMEG) which operated an industrial railway line from Swakopmund to Tsumeb. OMEG established a railway station and a repair shop which was used until the 1960s. When mining operations slowed down, Usakos' importance faded quickly. Today it is just a drive-through from the Namibian inland to the coast. Historic buildings and structures in Usakos are the Roman Catholic church (erected 1905), the now dilapidated railway station building, and the old hotel. Development and infrastructure Usakos is riddled with poverty and alcohol abuse, the unemployment rate is around 60%. Unlike other Namibian towns, it has not seen substantial development since independence in 1990. Usakos Railway Station connects the town to the Namibian railway network. Politics Usakos was downgraded from municipal to town status in 2010. It is governed by a town council that has seven seats. In the 2010 local authority election, a total of 1,029 votes were cast in the city. SWAPO won with approximately 47% of the vote. Of the three other parties seeking votes in the election, United Democratic Front (UDF) received approximately 31% of the vote, followed by RDP (17%) and COD (4%).Local Authority Election Results for Usakos SWAPO also won the 2015 local authority elections, gaining four seats (513 votes). Two seats went to the UDF (295 votes), and the remaining one to the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA, 76 votes). Notable residents Usakos is the hometown of the following prominent politicians: * Michael Goreseb, member of the National Assembly of Namibia * Theo-Ben Gurirab Speaker of the National Assembly * Tsudao Gurirab, Member of Parliament from 1999 to 2009 * Alpheus ǃNaruseb, Minister of Land and Resettlement See also * Usakos Reformed Church (NGK) References Towns in Namibia Populated places in the Erongo Region Populated places established in the 1900s "
"Shek Pai Wan or Aberdeen Bay is a bay between Aberdeen on Hong Kong Island and Ap Lei Chau (formerly Aberdeen Island). Its name was formerly romanized as Shekpywan.. The bay is one of the traditional fishery ports because the hills on two sides forms a nature shelter. The whole bay is zoned as the Aberdeen West Typhoon Shelter.
