Ulster Young Militant

Ulsters Young Militants are the youth wing of the UDA.
Formed during The Troubles in 1974 at the peak of the violence.

Theyre motto is Terrae Filius", Latin for "Son of the Land".
At present the UYM are being populated by youths from 15 to 18 years of age. Most of these Militants will be using intimidating violence. In some Squads theyre recruits must be sworn, and cannot leave.

Many famous Loyalists are believed to have been in the UYM before entering the UDA, Such as Johnny Adair.

upstream

The word upstream has several meanings in the field of computer science.

One meaning of the word upstream is used to refer to the core development of an Open Source project - e.g. an upstream patch is a patch targeted at being included in the project's main branch. Code submitted to the core developers of the some software can be said to be submitted upstream.

Another use of the word refers to the speed at which data can be transferred from the client to the server (uploading).

(source: Wikipedia: Upstream_(computer_science) )
We go to great lengths to make those patches widely available, in an easy to find format, so that they will be useful to upstreams, and other distributions. That benefits Debian, but it also benefits Suse and Redhat, if any of them are willing to take the time to study and apply the patches.

We synchronise our development with upstream, and with Debian, and with other distributions such as Suse and Gentoo and Mandrake and Red Hat, on a regular basis. We draw code from the latest upstream projects (which might not even be in Debian, or in Red Hat, or addressed in the LSB).

Ulsterman

A man descended from or having been born in one of the six counties of Northern Ireland that is part of the United Kingdom.The term Ulsterman/men has traditionally been used to refer to people that were fiercely loyalty to the British Crown. Nonetheless, after the 1998 Good Friday Peace agreement the term has started transcending religious divides and now brings together the best of both Ulster-Scot and Gaelic peoples in one unique amalgam.
