Tower Records will be closing its doors. The chain has been sold to a liquidation group. "Going Out of Business" signs have been posted at all 89 Tower stores, and their employees have been told they will be laid off.
The Tower Records here in San Francisco has always been a landmark; the parking lot of the Columbus Street store is bordered by paintings of recently-released album covers, which I always found intriguing. (And those paintings would always remain relatively graffiti-free.)
The company points to an industrywide decline in music sales, the advent of online music, and intrusion into the market by big-box stores such as Wal-Mart.
Also joining the bankruptcy parade is liberal talk-radio Air America, which is filing Chapter 11.
Not much to say there, but I haven't been as impressed with the venture as others have. It requires there be an equal market for liberal voices on the airwaves as there is for the conservative ones.
It's also helpful if your programming is something other than a mirror-image of the very thing you claim to despise or refute.
The United Nations Security Council has agreed on the text of a resolution for sanctions against North Korea. The vote is scheduled for the weekend; Russia and China had voiced concerns about pre-emptive military action against the rogue state.
The latest draft authorizes only non-military sanctions and is self-inclusive, avoiding any talk of implied authority for military action at a later date, as with the problematic Authorization of Military Force passed by U.S. lawmakers.
Specific limits will be set for military equipment in North Korea's possession, including missiles, tanks, warships, and combat aircraft.
"There may be some additional changes to the text," remarked John Bolton, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. "But we do have unanimous agreement."
Initial sampling appears to show no evidence of radioactive particles that would be expected from a successful nuclear detonation, according to an unnamed intelligence official.
That raises questions as to whether or not it was a nuclear blast at all. The problem is, of course, detecting fallout from the blast, which experts admit can be a case of being in the right place at the right time.
I'm of the opinion that until it is disproven, we should consider the test as valid, and regard North Korea as having limited nuclear capability.
If Kim Jung-il is a nutcase, he's a nutcase with a nuke. If he's not, he's still got a nuke.
And you'd think the Bush Administration would have learned not to back people like Kim into a corner.

After the last write up on calculating your retirement corpus, Lot of you share your surprise and concerns about the need of 3 to 4 Crs as retirement amount. Some of you also had questions if you are calculating it right, which is confirmed that yes the amount required is correct. let's quickly refresh how we need to calculate this with another example. Aniket is 30 year old, married couple with kids, with annual expense requirement of Rs 500K, he wants to retire at the age of 50 and expects the inflation to be 6% on his expenses. He wants to plan for 30 years in retirement i.e. age expectancy of 80years. Based on this information, we get two factors factor 1 (3.207) from table 1 of blog for 20 years accumulations stage with 6% inflation and factor 2 (23.178) from table 2 for retirement period of 30 years with similar inflation expectations. Aniket's retirement corpus requirement will be Rs 500K x 3.207 x 23.178 = 3.72 cr.
Accumulating 3.72cr as corpus for retirement is like a dream and shocking to most of us. The real shock comes when we understand how much investment we need to make. Factor 3 from table 3 of Blog, we realize for 20 years of accumulation period if we can generate 12% return on our investments we will need 1,010.86 Rs per 10 lakhs required. This means that Aniket will need 3.72 cr x 1,010.86/ 10 Lakhs = Rs 37,570 per month. There are two challenges, first we are not in habit of shaving big amounts like Rs 37.5k per month and second that generating 12% per annual return is not a mean task. This gets further complicated because of below reasons:
- Getting perturbed by Market fluctuations: Markets are not like Fixed deposits which will give you regular and stable returns, It always keep on fluctuating high and low e.g. in this year market fall by close to 10% between Jan to March 2018 from 11,200 to almost 10,000 but also picked up now from March 2018 to July 2018 close to 11,000 levels. Such fluctuations create confusion in our head and heart that am i doing good by investing in market when it is falling? or should i invest more as markets are running up? Since we do not know a lot about market apart from this momentum we keep on losing money by investing when markets are high and stay out when markets are low.
- Temptation to withdraw: We all have so many dreams and wishes to get fulfilled that once we see money getting accumulated in our portfolio, we get tempted to buy the car, we always wanted, or go on holiday, we dreamed for. These temptations just put our retirement at risk. Since our retirement is so far in future that most of us say, we still have few more years to go and we will be able to manage.
If we are able to overcome these challenges, we can build our portfolio for retirement successfully. For lucky people who just need 6-8% returns to achieve the required portfolio as they have existing portfolio or big saving habits or low expense requirements, They can leverage EPF, PPF, Sukanya Samridhi, Debt Funds or Fixed Deposits etc. For people looking for 8-10% returns can go to hybrid debt funds, which primarily invest in debt funds but also get some exposure to equity and provide capital appreciations. For 10-15% refund we can start increasing exposure to equity in sequential manner of hybrid equity, balanced advantage fund, Large cap funds, Mid and small cap funds etc. Each of these categories have increasing risk so has to be invested after consultation with your adviser.
Still some people might struggle with outlay of 37.5k per month than they can look for step up investments. One can start with 20k per month and step it up by 15% per year i.e. next year change the SIP amount to 23k from 20k and increase every year. This will enable you to accumulate 3.75cr over 20 years. Happy Investing!!

I'm back from an inaugural meeting of a convention committee, as one of the nascent organisers. Early days yet, but a one-day Con is set up for spring next year, with a household (to the con going public anyway) name attached to it. I think it's got the making of something awesome, a fun, game-filled event for all the family. Can't give any details away yet, but give it a month or so and there'll be some comms going out like a rash over the UK forums. Stay tuned.

In the midst of the tragedy that followed the mass shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub over the weekend, Donald Trump found an opportunity to skew the issue in his favor and shift the limelight.
The Orlando shooter has been identified as Omar Mateen, a U.S. born ISIS supporter. After the news was released, Trump took to Twitter to boast about being "right" about "radical Islamic terrorism" and took a few jabs at President Obama's handling of the situation.
Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 12, 2016
Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 12, 2016
What has happened in Orlando is just the beginning. Our leadership is weak and ineffective. I called it and asked for the ban. Must be tough
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 12, 2016
Many have criticized the GOP presidential candidate for his insensitivity.
Once again, Donald, you have shown why you cannot lead us. 50 people are dead, and you bask in congratulations. https://t.co/pUN7ceAff7
— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) June 12, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump You're congratulating yourself because 50 people are dead this morning in a horrific tragedy?
— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) June 12, 2016
Trump is truly an awful person. https://t.co/vQp3CQ9Nmv
— John Legend (@johnlegend) June 12, 2016
But the controversial businessman didn't stop there. In an interview with Fox News Monday morning (June 13) Trump reportedly suggested President Obama was involved in the Orlando shooting and sympathetic to radical Islamic activities.
"Look, we're led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he's got something else in mind," Trump says. " And the something else in mind–you know, people can't believe it. People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can't even mention the words 'radical Islamic terrorism.' There's something going on. It's inconceivable. There's something going on."
This is not the first time Trump has brought the president's religion and national loyalties into question. A few years ago, Trump was one of the loudest voices calling for Obama to release his birth certificate and prove he was born in the United States. Obama eventually released his birth certificate for the public and disproved Trump's accusations, however this issue still circulated conversations of criticism about the president.
Despite judgment, Trump maintains his "I told you so" attitude.
"I'm getting thousands of letters and tweets that I was right about the whole situation," he says. "I mean, I've been right about a lot of things, frankly…I was right about many, many things."

One day while searching for a better hosting company I came upon Blue Host, which (according to my neighbor who works with them as an affiliate) is the same company as Host Monster. I set up a friend's site using BlueHost and was surprised at how intuitive everything was as well as how quick it was.
Then, when it came time for me to renew my hosting for some of my own sites I decided to try Host Monster and, once again, was very impressed. At the tiny price of $5.95/month it's a steal. Here are a few reasons I love 'em.
- Fantastic 24/7 Support by phone, email and chat.
- Unlimited file space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited domains (I host six or seven sites on my account)
- Free, one-click installs of tons of apps, like WordPress, ZenCart, Joomla and about 50 more.
- They use CPanel, which is an easy and super popular interface for controlling your site
- One free domain name included in the price
- Affiliate program – If you sign up for their services, just use a link from this post and they'll send me $65! You can then become an affiliate, too!
There are more reasons, too, but those are some of my favorites. So if you're looking for a new hosting company, give these guys a try. You won't be disappointed.

Hi all,
I have 3 switchs Aruba 2530-48G and one router Dektec300B. I already tested creating some vlans and it is done. Now i want a vlan (belong to a vlan) to be able to access to another. How can i do that in webinterface (i am newbie so cannot use cli)?
Thanks alot.
The 2530 is a Layer 2-only switch, and as such does not support inter-VLAN routing. You would need to tag the VLANs across the uplink to the router and configure it to perform any desired routing there.
At Aruba, we believe that the most dynamic customer experiences happen at the Edge. Our mission is to deliver innovative solutions that harness data at the Edge to drive powerful business outcomes.

Carter-Smith and suspended City Commissioner Scott Maddox were indicted in December on 44 counts of racketeering, bank fraud, extortion, making false statements to financial institutions and other charges as part of an alleged pay-to-play scheme. Carter-Smith and Maddox, her longtime friend and former boss, deny any wrongdoing.

White House explores ambitious uses for drones
WASHINGTON — Coming soon to a drone near you: safer inspections for utilities. Air-traffic control. Even faster delivery of your packages.
Those are the ambitious innovations tossed around Tuesday at a White House conference on the future of drones, which are increasingly sharing the skies with passenger planes.
"Highly automated unmanned aircraft come in all shapes and sizes. Some can fit in the palm of your hand. Others can deliver packages," FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said. "As varied as these designs are, their potential uses are even vaster."
Government regulators, industry operators and researchers described numerous challenges facing the integration of drones, focused primarily on avoiding collisions in the air or crashes on the ground.
From the cautious to the confident, participants described vast opportunities opening up after the Federal Aviation Administration issued its first comprehensive rules in June for small drones weighing up to 55 pounds flying during daylight hours within sight of their pilots. Future rules are expected to deal with larger drones and aircraft flying by automated routes farther away than a pilot could see.
FAA completes landmark rules for commercial drones
Growth in the industry has been explosive, as the smaller aircraft become less expensive and easier to fly. Huerta said 520,000 drone pilots, who could each have multiple drones, have registered with the federal government since December. That compares to 320,000 manned aircraft.
The industry is projected to generate $82 billion and support as many as 100,000 new jobs by 2025, according to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International.
To maintain safety, the FAA is chartering an Unmanned Aircraft Safety Team with members from drone and regular aviation industries to analyze information about the flights that could offer clues about threats drones pose to other aircraft, people and property, Huerta said.
FAA is also creating a Drone Advisory Committee, which will be headed by Intel CEO Brian Krzanich, to prioritize the development of regulations and policies. Other members will be announced soon, Huerta said.
"We need to incorporate unmanned aircraft and their users into our culture of safety and responsibility," Huerta said. "But we need to do it in a way that doesn't stifle the enthusiasm for this growing industry."
John Hansman, aeronautics professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said research is needed about how reliably drones operate, as the FAA seeks to avoid collisions in the air or crashes hurting someone on the ground.
"The expectation of the level of safety in the system in aviation is extremely high," Hansman said. "How does FAA make sure that you don't screw it up?"
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announced several drone initiatives at the meeting, including:
• $35 million over five years for the National Science Foundation to accelerate understanding about how drones will be used for functions such as utilities inspections, disaster response and agricultural monitoring.
• $5 million from New York state to support development of a traffic management system for drones between Syracuse and Rome. Syracuse University and Mohawk Valley Community College are developing a training curriculum for drones and coordinating research efforts.
• Project Wing, which is part of X within the company Alphabet, conducting operational research at one of the FAA's six test sites across the country for delivering cargo, with an eye toward flying the aircraft farther than the pilot can see. The announcement came after Amazon said last week it would study its Amazon Prime delivery program in the United Kingdom.
• The Department of the Interior augmenting its manned flights with drones for search and rescue operations.
Dave Vos, leader of Project Wing, said he looks for solutions rather than getting sucked into quicksand worrying about problems that could arise. For example, he said a small, lightweight piece of equipment that costs just a few dollars could allow drones to signal each other electronically.
"I don't think about the problems, I think about the solutions we can bring to bear," Vos said.
Mark Bathrick, Interior's aviation division director, said drones already reduce dangers to workers by flying over forest fires or inspecting mines. The aircraft can also be used to explore 500 million acres of public land, which he illustrated with aerial video of a cliff dwelling difficult to reach on foot.
"We think this is a game-changer," he said.

--However there are some steps you need to take to ensure that your Canadian visa application is not delayed or even rejected in Nigeria.
How To Avoid Canadian Visa Denial In Nigeria
- Have it in mind that it takes between 34 - 90 days or even longer for your Visa to come out so don't be in a hurry.
- Ensure to apply on time if you are applying for a student visa or any type of visa, for example the Visa officer will be considering the time it may take to process your visa and the date you are supposed to resume at school or for a particular conference or seminar if there isn't enough time,the visa officer may deny you a visa.

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Pack those bags and grab your boarding passes because it's time to go Around the World with The Simpsons! The Around the World Event is in full swing in our pocket-sized Springfields and that can only mean one thing….all new prize tracks to work our way through!
This Event is broken up into 3 Acts, with each Act containing part of the story. To help you move along with the event you'll get several prizes per Act. Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event. For the First Act you're tasked with collecting French Pins () to unlock each prize!
The second Act 1 Prize awarded at 8,977 is Maurice, because it's not Springfield without a
jack donkey…
So let's take a closer look at this second prize and just what happens when you unlock it in your Springfield…
Once you've collected 8,977 you'll automatically be awarded Maurice and you'll see his character unlock message popup once placed in your Springfield…
And he's part of the Animals and Pets Character Collection:
Maurice is an NPC (Non-Playable Character). He does come with a little bit of dialogue when placed in Springfield:
Homer: Marge, I found a donkey! Can I keep him?
Bart: Hey, that's Maurice. He humiliated me when I was an exchange student in France. That donkey hates my guts.
Homer: Now we're definitely keeping him.
And there you have it, the details behind Maurice, the second Around the World Prize
What's Next?
Technically the Free Land Tile is next….awarded at 13,628 , but since that's not a tangible gift for Springfield (just a free land space) the next prize we'll cover is…
Bastille- Awarded at 25,256. This will be the next prize we breakdown in the prize guide post.
So that my friends is the full breakdown of the second Act 1 prize!
What do you think about Maurice? Safe to assume you've all unlocked it by now? Thoughts on the event so far? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!

Rodrigo Valenzuela works across photography, video, and installation, merging his interest in art history, architecture, the concept of work, and the realities of laborers. Valenzuela builds scenes in his studio, often working with simple building materials such as cinder blocks, pipes, wooden palettes, corrugated metal, and two-by-fours. The resulting monochrome photographs constantly shift between flatness and architectural space, and between documentary photography and fiction, encouraging an incessant yet pleasurable tension. His compositions resemble miniature ruins built from studio detritus, and are documentative of the artist's performance in the studio. Simultaneously, they clearly reference certain Modernist masters - be it Abstract-Expressionist painters or Minimalist sculptors - as well as Latin-American Brutalist architecture.
Rodrigo Valenzuela (b. Santiago, Chile 1982) lives and work in Los Angeles, CA, where he is an Assistant Professor and Head of the Photography Department at UCLA. Valenzuela is the recipient of the 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship in Photography and Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship. He has received the Joan Mitchell Award, Art Matters Foundation Grant, and Artist Trust Innovators Award. Recent solo exhibitions include Screen Series at the New Museum, NY (2019), Lisa Kandlhofer Galerie, Vienna, AU (2018), Work in Its Place, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Eugene (2018); American-Type, Orange County Museum (2018); Labor Standards, Portland Art Museum (2018); Future Ruins, Frye Art Museum, Seattle (2015). Recent residencies include the Core Fellowship at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, ME, MacDowell Colony, NH, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, NE, Lightwork, Syracuse, NY, and the Center for Photography at Woodstock, NY.

As COVID-19 (Coronavirus) progresses and states in the U.S. reach new mortality and case peaks, health IT is rapidly delivering new solutions to help keep people safe, healthy, and alive.
To support providers and patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, Validic created a standalone home monitoring solution specifically designed to continuously monitor vulnerable populations for the emergence of COVID-19 symptoms. Validic's COVID-19 Home Monitoring solution enables patients to enter their symptoms, potential exposure, body temperature, heart rate, and SPO2 readings from their home devices into a secure, web-hosted portal.
The patients' home health data are made accessible to clinicians and treatment professionals via a simple triage dashboard. The dashboard allows care teams to quickly enroll new patients, set custom alerts and triggers, identify trends in data, and search people based on status and their latest readings.
Case Study: Kaiser Permanente Mid-Atlantic Region
A few weeks into the COVID-19 pandemic, a regional health system needed a way to monitor high-risk patients, particularly those with chronic conditions, for the emergence of COVID-19 symptoms. The group rapidly deployed a remote monitoring program using Validic's standalone RPM solution – managed by a virtual group of three to four physicians.
It's important to recognize that this was a smaller regional deployment managed by a few physicians, serving a large, hard-hit area on the East Coast. With a handful of physicians, they were able to enroll thousands of patients in a couple of months and save the lives of people who contracted coronavirus every week through the program. The key was early interventions.
Patients enrolled were sent a pulse oximeter and asked to submit their body temperature, oxygen saturation, difficulty breathing, heart rate, exposure to anyone with COVID-19, and cough frequency – twice per daily. Text messages were sent to the patient in the morning and evening to remind them to input their data. Alerts notified the physicians when a patient's reading fell outside the set thresholds.
The physicians began to notice a trend based on SPO2 readings and used that data to design earlier and critical interventions before patients began to decompose, or even in some cases before they began to experience other symptoms. The team was able to get patients into the hospital early in their fight against the virus. On average, these patients were discharged within two to three days, with oxygen, and didn't require a ventilator during their hospitalization. Over 2,400 patients have been enrolled in the program; and weekly, patients continue to be directed to medical care or testing – saving dozens of lives throughout the program.
In one instance, a physician received an alert notifying him that a patient's SPO2 was 85%. Looking through the patient's historic data, he saw a continuous decline in readings over several days – from the mid-nineties to the low nineties and now in the mid-eighties. He directed the patient to a nearby clinic where the patient was quickly admitted and placed on oxygen. The patient spent two days in the hospital before being discharged with oxygen and continued monitoring at home through the program to ensure his upward progress continued.
Because the physician caught the decline in health from COVID-19 early, the patient did not need to be intubated and placed on a ventilator like so many others who receive medical treatment at a later stage of the virus progression.
Physicians using the COVID-19 solution stated had the alerts not been in place to catch patients on their decline, high-risk patients would have been admitted to the ER and immediately placed on a ventilator – generally, in more life-threatening states. Instead, patients were discharged within one to two days and asked to continue monitoring at home. Physicians utilizing the solution credit the program with saving lives and said oxygen saturation (SPO2) was the most important metric to track. The program taught physicians about SPO2 trends related to COVID-19 – offering insight on the natural progression of the virus and how to better intervene.
Case Study: COVID-19 Program Using Validic Inform
Shortly after COVID-19 hit the U.S., Validic worked with a large treatment and research health center to help integrate pulse oximeter data into their system and RPM program. Validic integrated the device into its marketplace and leveraged its partnership with Trapollo to quickly get patients a pulse oximeter; this was especially important at the time, given most of these devices were sold-out through online retail options. The pulse ox device became the organization's second most-used data source within a week and a half of the program launching – as they quickly scaled their RPM program.
Since launching their program, the center is looking at new ways to expand their device and data usage with new use cases including checking historical activity data pre- and post-COVID-19, continuous heart rate monitoring for transplant patients, continuous temperature monitoring, and expanding their pulse ox RPM program.
As we prepare for the second wave of COVID-19, implementing remote patient monitoring solutions for populations like those with chronic conditions, comorbidities, seniors, front-line healthcare workers, and mission-critical employees are crucial.

Metaphors and Spectres
Wondering how common it is to change the name of a book. Choice of title The Rift results in competing with a number of books called The Rift. The publisher I used apparently didn't have an interest in pointing out that there were so many identical titles out there. Am leaning toward making the change but not in a hurry to do so. Ideas that pop in my head is the metaphoric figure of the Old Man who seems remarkable similar to the metaphoric Uncle Sam and the two Teutonic Knights who are transformed from living persons to spectral figures who move through time watching over the Von Mecklenburg family. At the moment don't see any legal barriers but no certain nor do I see the negatives surrounding such a change.

Point of Purchase
Point of Purchase
Long before customers look closer at a product or read the marketing message you have to offer, they may be looking at the images around them. That's one reason point of purchase (POP) displays work.
Point of purchase displays can be found in dealerships, stores, by cash registers and at trade shows, conferences and other events. These displays are near where customers are making their buying decisions, so they can turn curious customers into buyers. SpeedPro creates custom POP displays for your business.Request a Quote
Using Purchase Displays
Purchase displays can be used in a variety of ways. For instance, they're great to highlight products for sale by a checkout. They're also commonly used beside a demonstration or sample of a product. The bright display draws in customers to the demo or to try something new.
POP displays can be as simple as mobile signs or shelf signs signalling a new product. They can even be temporary, decorative shelving to separate a few offerings from traditional options.
POP Display Options
In putting together point of purchase displays, SpeedPro can offer:
- Signage: SpeedPro has signage options for every possible need, from large rigid POP display options to vinyl decals or graphics. You need a sign with a free-standing frame to place near a display rack — no problem. We also offer contour-cut signage.
- Wall displays: Wall displays are a mobile way to set up displays at trade shows, conferences and event in order to extend your branding to the walls.
- Sectional fabric wall panels: You can create professional and large POP displays by joining together movable wall panels printed with your marketing message.
- Window clings: In restaurants and stores, you may not wish to devote lots of real estate to a display. Window clings, especially near checkouts and aisles, can be one way to create POP displays without using extra space.
- Easel-back standups: Never doubt the power of a standup cutout of a celebrity brand spokesperson to attract people to your POP display. They're fun, eye-catching and may inspire customers to take pictures and share them on social media.
- Attachable shelving: Add examples of your products to the display to create an even more effective attention-grabber.

Liliana Segre on Auschwitz and What It Means Today
Interview with Barbara Faedda; Holocaust Remembrance Day 2021
Europe and the United Nations commemorate the victims of the Shoah each winter on the date of Auschwitz's liberation in 1945, and the Italian Academy marks Holocaust Remembrance Day annually with an exploration of issues of discrimination and crimes against humanity. Throughout the years, the Academy has broadened its focus to explore groups that were targeted in the racism and xenophobia of the Nazi and Fascist regimes, and that suffered and died along with the millions of Jews.
This week Barbara Faedda, Executive Director of the Italian Academy, got an exclusive interview with Liliana Segre, a survivor of Auschwitz who was named a lifetime member of Italy's Senate in 2018. Read the whole interview here, for Senator Segre's reflections on the Holocaust, hate speech, racism, the January 6 assault in Washington, DC, and more.
Senator Segre, you were expelled at the age of eight from your school because of the Italian racial laws. "You were expelled from school because we are Jews," your father explained to you. From that moment on, the situation worsened: initially you were moved to a private school and then—displaced to Brianza [north of Milan]—you were forced out of school. You were arrested in 1943 and the situation degenerated further: deportation; arrival at the Auschwitz concentration camp with your father on January 30, 1944; the immediate separation from him (he did not make it out alive, nor did other members of his family); and the beginning of the nightmare. What was that young teenager thinking, especially in the early days in the camp? And how did her awareness grow during her imprisonment? How could an adolescent process that unprecedented ugliness and violence?
The camp is a place without color and without time. Some have spoken of "senselessness" or loss of meaning; I would add, "loss of the senses." The enormity of the tragedy was evident from the very first moment: it was already part of the journey that took us from Track 21 of the Milan railway station directly to the end of History. The process of mourning is never-ending. I was an adolescent only on paper: in Auschwitz, one grew old in an instant. It began with the loss of identity, with the cancellation of one's name. Everything else was pure barbarity.
Over the years, I have seen many of your interviews and public talks. One that was particularly touching and profound for me—and not only for me, of course—was your speech in January 2020 at the European Parliament (on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and of the Remembrance Day ceremony). As a woman and as the mother of a teenager, I can't forget these words of yours: "We were young, but we looked old. Without sex, without age, without breasts, without menstruation, without underpants. That's how you take away a woman's dignity. That's how." How complex and painful was it later, to reclaim your female dignity?
I believe that the knot was loosened naturally, definitively, when I met my husband, Alfredo, on the seafront in Pesaro. It was love at first sight and it lasted a lifetime. Love wins!
You once said that no one has ever really come out of Auschwitz— that it is not possible to leave it. The Nazis stamped the number 75190 on your arm, with the intention of erasing your name, the first element of your identity. But your name, Liliana, remained. That number remained too, though. What was the psychological process that made you declare that that number, imposed on you by the Nazis, should be written on your tombstone someday?
That's a good question. The loss of identity is the most heartrending of woes. So I am leaving a little message to posterity, a sort of reverse "Memento mori." I will die as I have lived, with history on my skin.
You have said that the date of January 27 [marking the liberation of Auschwitz, in 1945, as Holocaust Remembrance Day] is used wrongly because, actually, the violence did not end suddenly on that day. On the contrary, as the Allied armies continued to advance, the Nazis devised death marches to move many of you (often on foot, in the snow and over long distances) before and after January 27. You were 14 years old when, in January 1945—along with thousands of other prisoners—you left Auschwitz after a year of living in the camp. Your march stretched on for months, into April 1945. What do you remember about this second phase? What experiences, feelings, and thoughts did you have during this long, terrible, and exhausting march from Poland to Germany?
I remember everything, perfectly. It is an indelible journey that I have recounted a thousand times: exhaustion, pain, loneliness, but above all hunger and cold, cold and hunger. And the presence—I would say the physical presence—of death. That's it.
You were 14 years old and you had already had the unimaginably horrible experience of a year in a concentration camp, followed by the long months of the death march. During the days of the Liberation, you tell of picking up a dried apricot thrown by the American soldiers and, as you ate it, tasting "the taste of freedom" after so long. What happened within you when you realized that the nightmare was ending? Above all, who had Liliana become by then?
The taste of freedom is an alienating feeling. Sudden. Invasive. The memory still makes me dizzy. I didn't understand the scope of it; inside me, peace had not yet "broken out." I was a skeleton of a 14-year-old girl, hairless and nameless, alone in the world. I didn't know what my future would be, even the next day.
After returning to normal life you did not speak—especially in public—of your tragic experience; not for about 45 years, until you finished the long and troubled processing of the trauma. At that point you began your exceptional work of educating young people with your testimony. And also, when you were appointed a Senator for life you began your political/legislative activity. In 2018 you introduced a bill for the establishment of a parliamentary commission to address and monitor the phenomena of intolerance, racism, antisemitism, and incitement to hatred and violence. In 2019, you co-wrote a bill to declare the former prison camp of Servigliano a national monument. How have you meshed these two missions and different responsibilities? What is the role of the schools, and what is the role of law, in the battle against racism and antisemitism?
When I was appointed Senator for life by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, three years ago, I declared that I would be guided by the Constitution, from which all else flows. I carry in my heart its untouchable Article 3. . . which speaks of equality without any limits or boundaries. Reconciling the role of witness with the role of parliamentarian is a simple action, quite natural. What changes are the modalities. I would say that my new role reinforces the action. I often say (and I repeat myself here), that Memory serves to keep democracy healthy. Keeping it healthy can be done in a thousand ways. I have recently stopped doing public testimony, but I do not intend to disregard my institutional commitments.
You often reiterate that the child Liliana, who experienced the ugliness and the horrors of Nazi-Fascism, gives you no peace. In an extremely intense phrase—which is poetic, despite its tragic nature—you say, "I am my own grandmother. I am the grandmother of that little girl." Among the reasons that have prompted your educational work for so many years—and your political/legislative work now—is there also a fear that, one day, other children and teens might face the same atrocities experienced by little Liliana?
The answer is yes, but I prefer to use Primo Levi's incomparable words: Reflect on this. . . it happened, so it could happen again.I would add, given the temporal distance: not necessarily in the same ways. The device of our era is the web, an immaterial infrastructure that has transformed all our behaviors. If social networks are the verbal firing range, one can and must become a digital sower of peace against all forms of hostility. The words of peace are compensation and denunciation of the limits of the web itself, because if there is any field in which wisdom and knowledge get lost, it's the field of information. We must cultivate mildness, a virtue that unites us against all divisive passions.
Sadly, we have witnessed, for some time now, what you call the legitimization of behaviors, terms, and attitudes of frank intolerance and racial hatred. It almost seems that now we can once again be openly and publicly racist and antisemitic, without any shame or, at least, scruples. Where have we failed—as citizens or, simply, as human beings—from the end of Nazism and Fascism up to today? What could have been done that hasn't been done?
The Europe we inhabit, a continent burned by Nazi-Fascist savagery, was born from the smoke in the winds over Auschwitz. Simone Veil, the first woman president of the European Parliament, a survivor of the death camps, spoke of Europe as the greatest project of the (last) century. What remains of that project? Very little. The emperor has no clothes; the democratic antibodies are beginning to show their first wrinkles. Fascism never died, and the failure of the ruling classes is out there for all to see. The aggressiveness of this phenomenon is taking a bad turn—so much that I, personally, have resorted, in my new role as Senator, to an innovative tool: a parliamentary committee on the phenomena of intolerance, racism, antisemitism, and incitement to hatred and violence, which could get going in a few weeks from now. The specter of hate speech from old Europe spans the planet, creating new digital monsters. Harnessing this phenomenon is the civil duty of all democratic countries.
Do you have a particular message for the American youth of today?
Your distinguished university, Columbia, organized a symposium back in April 1995 to celebrate the liberation of Europe. On that occasion Umberto Eco presented a paper entitled "Eternal Fascism," published later in "The New York Review of Books," which I would suggest your students go back to read.* I guarantee the relevance of these words, which I endorse here and now. It is war, always, because Fascism can still return, in the most innocent guise. The assault on Capitol Hill is nothing but a dress rehearsal. Reflect.

The Next 700 Programming Languages by P. J. Landin
2017-03-11 15:12
This is a series of posts where I jot down my learnings from computer science papers I've read. Previously, An Axiomatic Basis for Computer Programming
Paper (pdf)
This blog post summarizes key points/learnings from the paper. I chose this paper after hearing a talk by John Hughes and Mary Sheeran. I thought it would be fun to examine what Landin thought about the programming language (PL) landscape 50 years ago, and contrast it with what we have now.
The paper describes a framework, called ISWIM (for If you See What I Mean), for programming languages. The framework defines rules around 2 features that all programming languages provide:
User-coined names
Conventions about characterizing functional relationships
ISWIM attemps to be a general purpose system, that can be made oriented for a specific problem by picking an appropriate set of primitives.
"Most programming languages are partly a way of expressing things in terms of other things and partly a basic set of given things"
Levels of ISWIM
Landin defines the 4 levels of abstraction for ISWIM:
Physical ISWIM
Logical ISWIM
Abstract ISWIM
Applicative Expressions (AEs)
Physical ISWIM is the actual text that is seen and written by programmers.
Logical ISWIM can be thought of lex tokens output by a Lexer (
<= is the less than equals operator).
The abstract ISWIM is the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) for the program.
And the AEs is the lowest level bytecode/assembly that is executed.
This separation of layers gives ISWIM its flexibility. For example, "new" languages can be written that runs on the same Abstract Machine that executes AEs, as long as these "new" languages can be transformed in AEs. (This is similar to how various X-to-JavaScript languages, such as ClojureScript, BuckleScript, GopherJS, etc., works.)
For the abstract ISWIM, Landin defines a where-expression, which looks like how mathematical formulas are broken down:
f(b+2c) + f(2b-c) where f(x) = x * (x+1)
Characteristic equivalences
Landin describes in details the characteristic equivalences of ISWIM expressions, i.e. when are two expressions in ISWIM equal. Through these equivalence relations, different expressions at the abstract level can be transformed into the same expressions at the AEs level. The benefit is that now you can have a smaller core.
User-coined names (which is a major feature that ISWIM claims) introduced via let expressions, function definitions, have equivalent where-expressions.
So the benefit is obvious here: instead of separately supporting various ways of user-coined names, they are all equivalent to where-expressions, and at the AEs level, it only needs to know about where-expressions. I think this is now more commonly known as desugaring.
The basis of all these beautiful transformation are 3 things:
Expressions have nesting subexpression structure
Each subexpression denotes something (a number, string, etc.)
What the expression denotes depends only on the values of its subexpressions
These 3 properties make expressions easier to construct and understand, and Landin suggests that there is an
"evolutionary trend towards 'bigger right hand sides' in place of strings of small, explicitly sequenced assignments and jumps".
From my experience with programming, we don't actually have bigger right hand sides. Rather we bury more expressions within curly braces in classes and methods, at least in object-oriented languages like Java. In functional languages, I think this is quite true. I find myself using
let expressions more in OCaml. One explanation is that OCaml infers types well, I don't have to specify types whenever I use
let, which reduces the friction.
Discussion on indentation-based syntax and declarative languages
At the end of the paper, there is a discussion section from various computer scientists about the indentation based syntax of ISWIM, and what declarative languages are.
The general consensus around not using indentation for structure is when you have a block that has multiple lines, spanning multiple pages. In that case it makes it harder, when on a new page, which containing block an indented block belongs to.
The definition of declarative language starts of as "languages which do not contain assignment statements or jumps", as offered by Strachey. As the discussion progresses, the definition moves towards having a "situation where you have specified everything you want to know, though the exact sequence in which you evoke the various operations to cause the solution is left unspecified", offered by Ingerman. This is closer to the current, common understanding of declarative languages, think MySQL.
This paper has been quite a challenging but interesting read. It is challenging because I have to try and put myself into the PL world 50 years ago, and it's hard to imagine what it was like then, and the motivations behind this paper. It is interesting because I can spot a little of ISWIM in the languages I use now, both object-oriented and functional. It is also interesting that Landin advocates strongly for expressions with no side effects, but somehow it didn't become the default way of doing things.

#Capturing #0day #Exploits with PERFectly Placed #Hardware #Traps | ENDGAME
Most defenses focus on the post-exploitation stage of the attack, by which point it is too late and the attacker will always maintain the advantage. Instead of focusing on the post-exploitation stage, we leverage the enforcement of coarse-grained Control Flow Integrity (CFI) to enhance real-time detection at the exploitation stage, with minimal impact on performance.

SPIRITS: Southern Food, Southern Drink
BOURBON. What does the name evoke for you? The chocolate-rich Brit-biscuit dipped to almost breaking point in strong Arabica coffee? Heady scents of split vanilla steeped in cream? Or a crisp rendition of the first beer brewed in Europe's far-flung, rugged isle, Réunion? While all may lay claim to the name, a spirit connoisseur's first thought will be of the barrel-aged corn-based American whiskey, bourbon, a spirit with such vociferous fans that its flavour spectrum is etched into law.

A cut-price Audi allroad? Maybe but the Alltrack is a very decent off-roader in its own right. Living on a farm, there's plenty of opportunity to put the VW's off-road ability to the test – and that's where most of the additional work on this Passat estate has been directed.
With the regular Passat's ride height upped from 135 to 165mm, it can cope well enough with rutted tracks and pot-holed lanes. The 4MOTION system pushes 90 per cent of the power to the front wheels for everyday driving, then adjusts accordingly when the rear wheels start to lose grip.
Just like a Land Rover, the Alltrack has a hill descent system too, which takes all the skill out of slipping down a slippery slope. It works in conjunction with the DSG automatic gearbox and is simplicity itself.
On road, there is a wealth of safety equipment, like blind spot monitoring and lane assist. It's a very competent car in the dirt and off. The perfect machine for a family? Yes, if you can justify the high price tag.

The USC Trojans enter 2021 with high expectations. They finished the regular season with an unbeaten record and fell just short of a comeback in the Pac-12 championship game. While the Trojans are losing some really good players to the NFL draft, they also have some really talented guys coming in to replace them, including the nation's No. 1 recruit, Korey Foreman. Before we get into our depth chart analysis next month, Trojans Wire wanted to look at some of the other analyses of the USC depth chart to give you a sense of what others are saying.
Here is what The Athletic had to say about the positions in the secondary:
Starters: Isaiah Pola-Mao (R-Jr.) and Chase Williams (R-Soph.) or Xavian Alford (Fr.)
Backups: Briton Allen (Soph.), Kaulana Makaula (R-Fr.), Xamarion Gordon (True Fr.), Calen Bullock (True 2Fr.), Anthony Beavers (True Fr.)
Notes: Pola-Mao has started at safety the past two years, under two different coaching staffs, so slot him into the starting lineup.
The other starting safety spot will be a lot more interesting. Hufanga is gone, and it's going to be impossible to replace everything he brought to this defense with just one player.
Williams started in place of Hufanga before, but that was under a different set of defensive coaches. This staff brought in Alford, a Texas transfer with whom safeties coach Craig Naivar already has a relationship. If it was a sure thing Williams was going to slide into Hufanga's role this season, then Alford probably wouldn't be here. But he is, and he probably has a good opportunity to start this season.
Makaula surprisingly earned a decent amount of playing time at safety in the Pac-12 title game, but he and Allen have played sparingly or primarily on special teams the past two seasons.
Gordon, Bullock and Beavers are the future of this position. Each of them were four-star prospects in this recruiting cycle, have enrolled into classes this semester and have started working out with the team.
Starters: Chris Steele (Soph.) and Isaac Taylor-Stuart (R-Soph.)
Backups: Ceyair Wright (True Fr.), Prophet Brown (True Fr.), Dorian Hewett (Soph.), Adonis Otey (R-Fr.)
Notes: Lock Steele into one of these spots. The other is a bit more uncertain, but Taylor-Stuart is the favorite considering he started for nearly the entire 2019 season.
He'll have to hold off Wright, a top-100 corner prospect who will arrive in the summer, and Brown, who was a highly-touted four-star prospect himself.
Hewett and Otey are entering their third seasons with the program, but they didn't play much in 2020. The fact that USC recruited defensive backs so hard this past cycle and will recruit the position heavily again for 2022
makes it fair to question the on-field standing of players like Otey and Hewett at corner, along with Allen and Makaula at safety.
Starter: Greg Johnson (R-Jr.) or Max Williams (R-Fr.)
Backup: Jaylin Smith (True Fr.)
Notes: Johnson started the first four games of the season before suffering an injury against Washington State that kept him out the rest of 2020. Williams started in his place and did well.
Johnson isn't great in coverage, and Williams is undersized, but both are experienced. USC is really high on Smith, who was an all-around standout on offense, defense and special teams at Bishop Alemany (Mission Hills, Calif.), so it wouldn't come as a shock if he cracked the lineup at some point.

The largest continental sporting and cultural gathering of Indigenous peoples had Brock alumna Marcia Trudeau-Bomberry (BA '00) at its helm this past summer.
The 2017 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) saw 5,000 teen athletes compete in 14 sports and 2,000 volunteers, including more than 50 Brock students, come together to celebrate the diverse regions and cultures represented by the participants.
Trudeau-Bomberry, the Games' Chief Executive Officer, called the event "an amazing experience."
"This was a chance to see the unifying power of sport and culture, and to see Indigenous youth from across Turtle Island/North America come together to compete, learn, share and forge new friendships," she said of the Games held July 16 to 23 in Toronto.
In recognition of her many contributions to sport, wellness and Indigenous communities, Trudeau-Bomberry was named the 2017 Brock Alumni Association Distinguished Graduate in the Faculty of Social Sciences during Homecoming weekend in September.
She studied communication and sociology at Brock, and later earned an MBA at Alberta's Athabasca University.
"When I got to know Marcia during her time at Brock, she already demonstrated the qualities of imagination, determination and dedication that make her such an outstanding leader in Indigenous sport and culture today," said Marian Bredin, a professor in the Department of Communication, Popular Culture and Film.
Once serving as Trudeau-Bomberry's undergraduate thesis supervisor, Bredin learned a great deal from the inspired young student about the experiences of Indigenous youth in Canadian universities.
"Marcia's achievements at the Games and her commitment to young Indigenous athletes are truly inspiring," she said.
In addition to her work with NAIG, Trudeau-Bomberry has worked in communications and community development for the Aboriginal Sport Circle, and on projects such as the Aboriginal Sport Hero Torch Bearer program in partnership with the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver in 2010.
She also spent many years as a director with the Aboriginal Sports and Wellness Council of Ontario, and worked in several roles for the United Chiefs and Councils of Mnidoo Mnising.
Trudeau-Bomberry believes her studies and Brock experience as a whole helped her to understand the unique place that Indigenous people hold in society, as well as the role of media and communications in representing Indigenous people in mainstream culture and society.
During her time at the University, she was involved with an Indigenous student group, participated in recreational volleyball and, after picking up a lacrosse stick for the first time on campus, played on Brock's varsity women's team.
While there were many memorable moments at the 2017 North American Indigenous Games, Trudeau-Bomberry took particular pride in seeing women's lacrosse included for the first time since the event's inception in 1990.

Failure is only the opportunity more intelligently to begin again. ~Henry Ford
I love this quote from Henry Ford because it puts failure in perspective. Failure is not an indictment of your worthiness or capabilities. It is not a judgment on your intelligence or competency.
Many people we celebrate as geniuses have failed at least once–some people have failed repeatedly before finding their stride. People such as Einstein, Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers, Steven Jobs, Brian Tracy, T. Harv Eker, Larry Winget, and many others.
Action Plan: If you've failed and are shaming yourself with it, STOP. Take an objective look at the situation. Take judgment, condemnation, and shame out of the mix. Look at the facts and only the facts of the situation.
Turn the situation over and look at it from the sides, back, top, and bottom. Do you see where it's weak and can you think of an idea to shore it up? Do you see where there may be extraneous "stuff" that seemed like a good idea at the time but now you can see that they are unnecessary?
What can you do differently when you have another go at it?
I know you can do this–you do have what it takes!
I'm proud of you!
Your Friend and Pep Pal,
