Say hello to Danny Pink in 'Doctor Who'
There will be a new face in the TARDIS on Saturday night.
Samuel Anderson joins the new season of "Doctor Who" as Danny Pink, an ex-soldier who is now a math teacher.
Anderson describes himself as a "companion of a companion." A fellow teacher at Coal Hill School where the official "Who" 'companion' Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) works, he ends up going along for the ride.
For the uninitiated, the Doctor is a Time Lord who travels in his time machine called a TARDIS, battling monsters, aliens, and everything in between.
There have been numerous incarnations of the Doctor over the 51 years of the series as new actors take over the part. The new season introduced Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor.
Anderson's opinion of his other actors: fantastic.
"Coleman is a real professional," he says, adding that he's amazed that she has the same level of energy at the end of the week as at the beginning.
He has really enjoyed working with Capaldi, who he says is very approachable. He also says that Capaldi is living his dream of being the Doctor, a role he has wanted from childhood.
Anderson considers Capaldi his "first Doctor" despite the fact that there have been others.
He grew up in the "Doctor Who" gap years, when it was a re-run on television. While the series started in 1963, it ended in 1989, had a single episode in 1996, and was rebooted in 2005. It has become a worldwide hit with high numbers of downloads on digital platforms, and select showings in movie theaters.
The new season, which started August 23rd, had gangbuster ratings for BBC America with over 2.5 million viewers. It was also the #1 program on cable for its time period.
The character of Danny Pink is a soldier from the modern period of the last decade. Soldiers have traveled with the Doctor in the past coming from many time periods.
To get a feeling for the character, Anderson spoke with soldiers about their experiences in the wars of the last decade and a half, after 9/11. He was struck at their youth when they first served.
"They're young, they're young," he said. He tried to integrate some of their experiences into Pink.
About his character, he says Coleman describes his character, Pink, as "the perfect boyfriend."
Anderson feels that Pink's just "an everyday guy."

Keeping Track of Change
For years, software developers have been keeping track of all their changes to programs they are developing with what they call "version control" software. However, even competent developers have sometimes found it too troublesome to use these tools except where they find it absolutely necessary, and so it is not surprising that very few non-developers have used these tools at all.
The reason that they find these tools so difficult to use is that the rules for how to use them are written with the most complicated situations in mind. For most personal use of these tools, that is like learning to fly a jet aircraft in order to drive a car. There is an easier way.
The assumption that makes everyone do so much extra work is that more than one person will be trying to modify the file at the same time. For your own personal files, or for keeping track of changes to system files when you are the only system administrator, that is not an issue.
The standard program for doing version control under Linux (and most other versions of Unix) is GNU's RCS, which stands for Revision Control System. It has many options, but you hardly need to know about any of them to make good use of it. You can treat RCS as one of the simplest tools on your system.
In fact, you can keep track of all the changes that you ever make to a file with one command. Run the command ci -l filename each time you make a change to the file ("ci" stands for "check in"; you are "checking in your changes"). The first time you do this, you will be given the option to describe the file:
$ ci -l foo foo,v <-- foo enter description, terminated with single '.' or end of file: NOTE: This is NOT the log message! >
You are not required to describe the file, but you can if you like. Then type a . character on its own line, or press ^D on an empty line.
When you have made a change to the file, you need type only one command to tell RCS to keep track of that change for you:
$ ci -l foo foo,v <-- foo new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1 enter log message, terminated with single '.' or end of file: >
Here, you may wish to describe the change you have just made, especially if you think you will want to examine the change at some future time, but it is not required.
Remembering that single command is enough to prepare you for disaster. The rest of this short article will show you a few easy tricks that make RCS a little more comfortable to use, and help you learn how to recover from disaster.
If you think running one command each time you finish editing a file is still too much work, we can make it even easier for you! (Laziness is a virtue if it causes you to work smarter instead of harder.)
We'll use a shell script. You can create a file in your own "bin" directory (if your account is on a computer shared with other people) or in /usr/local/bin (if you are using your own computer). Whichever directory you choose must be listed in your PATH. To make it easy to type, we'll call it et, short for edit text.
#!/bin/bash # et - Edit Text file, while keeping # track of changes with RCS [ -z "$1" ] && { # No file specified on the command line echo "Edit what file?" exit 1 } ${EDITOR-vi} $1 # Only check in the file if it exists. [ -f $1 ] && ci -l $1
Type that into a file named et, without making any typos. Then run the command chmod +x et to make the file executable. Now, you will be able to run et filename to edit and then automatically check in your changes.
The #!/bin/bash line tells Linux this script is a shell script that is interpreted by the bash shell, which comes as a standard part of every Linux distribution. All the other lines starting with a # character are comments, and are ignored by bash.
If you decide that you will never want to include a description of the changes you have made, you can change the last line of the script to
[ -f $1 ] && echo "." | ci -l $1
The reason for the [ -f $1 ] part is so that if you type et mistake, and then quit the editor without saving the file, you won't get error messages when ci finds that there is no file for it to check in.
The ${EDITOR-vi} part runs your favorite editor, or if you have not chosen a favorite editor, it defaults to the old standard vi editor. You can choose a default other than vi; pico, jed, joe, Emacs, and other editors are all possibilities. For example:
${EDITOR-jed} $1
will run jed, unless you have chosen some other favorite editor.
To choose your favorite editor, which will apply to all programs that want you to choose an editor, not just et, you will need to set the EDITOR environment variable to the name of the editor you want to use. If you are using a bourne shell, such as bash, zsh, pdksh, ksh, or sh, you will want to add a line like the following to the file .profile in your home directory:
EDITOR=jed ; export EDITOR
If you use the C shell (csh or tcsh), you will want to add a line like the following to the file .login in your home directory:
setenv EDITOR jed

At the start of each baseball season, there are a handful of teams that present themselves at or near the top of the standings—seemingly ready to compete for the postseason.
However, as the weeks go by, everything transforms into a mirage amid the summer heat—with teams wilting and dropping in the standings come July and August. The following five teams can end their seasons with winning records, but each has at least one major flaw that will prevent them from really competing and mounting a title run.
5. San Diego Padres
When your disabled list is as long and extensive as the Padres' has been in recent times, then it may be a sign of rough times ahead.
Adding to the health woes from last season, Cameron Maybin—slated to be the starter in center field come April—has been lost for the first five weeks of the year with a bicep injury. Chase Headley's strained right calf has hindered him so far this spring and may keep him out Opening Day.
When he is fully healthy, third baseman Headley leads an infield that has the defensive skills to be among the NL's best in the near future. San Diego hopes that his second half slump was more a product of a thumb fracture early in 2013 than a lag in his progression.
Shortstop Everth Cabrera is coming of an All-Star appearance and a suspension for his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal, but his unique skill is on the base paths—as he has led the team over the past two years with a combined total of 81 stolen bases. Jedd Gyorko, at second base, will supply a good portion of the pop. He finished his rookie campaign with 23 home runs.
The pitching should get better as two of the former liabilities—Edinson Volquez and Clayton Richard—have departed. Ian Kennedy steps in as the ace, with Andrew Cashner and Josh Johnson showing upside. The Pads, though, just don't have the horses to keep up with the thoroughbred Dodgers.
In Bud Black's seven seasons manning the Padres dugout, he has yet to reach the postseason. It'll ultimately be eight seasons, but not before hanging around in the Wild Card race into the second half of the year.
4. New York Mets
Even with Matt Harvey likely spending all of 2014 in rehab instead of on the mound, the Mets are realistically eying a .500 season—a feat that hasn't been achieved in Flushing since 2008.
Hope remains abundant thanks to two other young arms. Zack Wheeler (23 years old) made 17 starts in 2013, posting a 3.42 ERA and showing great promise. Noah Syndergaard (obtained in the R.A. Dickey trade) won't start this season on the major league club, but it's only a matter of time before this 21-year-old gets his permanent call-up.
The other half of the future Mets battery also has tremendous upside—in the form of Travis d'Arnaud. In the short time he spent in the big leagues last year, he managed just a .202 batting average in 112 plate appearances, and will surely improve upon those numbers.
With all the raw talent coming through the New York pipeline for general manager Sandy Alderson and skipper Terry Collins, there needs to be a veteran leader. No problem there. David Wright gladly accepts the captain role and is the team's stalwart at third base. He's also their most consistent offensive player.
Wright gets some help thanks to the signing of Curtis Granderson. He joins Eric Young, Jr., Juan Lagares and fellow newcomer Chris Young as part of a solid defensive outfield.
That said, the rest of the lineup has gaping holes. Shortstop Ruben Tejada and first baseman Ike Davis are on the brink of demotion (or trade) if they don't live up to expectations.
The Mets have enough young talent—even without Harvey—to show flashes of what they can become. An 82-win season is certainly possible, but the real successes will come in 2015 and beyond.
3. Seattle Mariners
With a city consumed in the mania that was the Seahawks' Super Bowl run, the baseball team also made some significant news over the winter. For a franchise not known for landing high-priced free agents, the Mariners nabbed the biggest fish in the sea.
Once of the New York Yankees, second baseman Robinson Cano was lured away from the Bronx with a 10-year, $240 million contract. He and new skipper Lloyd McClendon are the two notable new faces in Seattle. Yet, it won't be enough to improve on a 71-91 mark from last season.
Look for Cano to get plenty of pitches out of the strike zone, as the surrounding hitters in the lineup don't pose much of a threat. Corey Hart and Dustin Ackley don't scare anybody.
Opposing hitters, however, do wince at the prospect of facing ace pitcher Felix Hernandez. You can pencil him in for about 15 wins. Not having a grasp on what the rest of the staff can accomplish presents a worrisome thought. Hisashi Iwakuma finished 2013 with 14 victories. However, a finger strain will make him start this year on the mend. Scott Baker, formerly of Minnesota, has thrown a total of 15 innings the last two seasons due to elbow ailments. The bullpen is good enough, but will its main task be protecting leads or preventing larger deficits?
For a front office that has had its share of recent dysfunction, they'll quickly learn that putting all their eggs in the Cano basket isn't going to solve their problems.
2. Cleveland Indians
The Indians are the popular pick of most prognosticators to experience a regression back to Earth in 2014. And there's plenty of reasons why this makes sense.
Gone are the contributions of Ubaldo Jimenez and Scott Kazmir, giving them just one pitcher (Justin Masterson) in the rotation that has been a starter for an entire major league season. The pressure is on for the likes of Danny Salazar, Corey Kluber and Zach McAllister—a combined 58 starts between them. They are highly-touted within the organization, but their likely growing pains could have an impact on the Tribe as a whole.
What appeared to be an unimposing lineup was instead a club—with a deep bench—that manufactured runs instead of bashing the opposition. In all, Cleveland ranked fourth in the American League in terms of runs scored. This, despite no regular having at least a .300 batting average, nor anyone having more than 84 runs batted in (RBI). That was the main impetus on their surprising run to the AL's second Wild Card spot and a 92-70 record.
In baseball, things have a way of evening out. Coming off a season in which they turned many would-be defeats into victories, logic suggests they won't carry that rabbit's foot forever. Terry Francona leads a balanced team, but one that isn't impressive enough to take the next step forward.
1. Baltimore Orioles
Having migrated down the American League pecking order in 2013, the Orioles have the bats and the manager needed for a revival.
They led the majors in home runs—much due to the proficiency of Chris Davis and his AL-best 53 dingers.
It's not likely that the Baltimore first baseman is going to maintain the super-human power he displayed over the first half of last season, in which he had 37 homers and 64 extra-base hits by the time the All-Star break arrived. That said, his numbers will remain among the league's best under the continued motivation of Buck Showalter.
Davis will be complimented by Nelson Cruz—a free agent signing that for the most part has flown under-the-radar. While Cruz' entrance to the Birds has been quite understated, the return of Manny Machado shouldn't. What seemed to be a devastating injury suffered in September at Tampa Bay, the Gold Glove-winning third baseman is expected to return early this season, barring any setback. And the team needs him.
With Machado and center fielder Adam Jones covering plenty of ground, Baltimore had the best fielding percentage (.991) out of any club in the majors.
What's going to hurt the Orioles most is a relatively unimpressive pitching staff—anchored by Ubaldo Jimenez and Chris Tillman. If this pair can combine for 30 wins (a tall order), then the odds for a return to the playoffs are good. More importantly, the No. 3-5 starters (likely to be Wei-Yin Chen, Bud Norris and Miguel Gonzalez) need to be more efficient. Tommy Hunter remains a question mark at closer, and could cost the team a few much-needed wins.

Anyone who thinks they have seen Rebecca or knows where she is should email email@example.com quoting serial 922 of 10/09 or call 101. If you see Rebecca and think she is in danger call 999 immediately.
Crawley man missing for more than three months
A youtube video has been produced in a bid to help find a missing man from Crawley, three months after he first disappeared. Jean Leveque who's 42 was last seen on the 8th of May.
He lives in Hawth Close in Crawley but is often seen in the town centre and the Three Bridges area. However three months on from his disappearance Sussex Police have worked with his sister Marie to produce a plea to him on You Tube.
"Jean and I are very close. We grew up in Mauritius and after I moved to Crawley he joined me in 2008. Before he disappeared we spoke several times a week. If I didn't call him for a couple of days he would come and see me. Jean is very shy. He wouldn't approach people for help if he didn't know them."
Jean is black with short black hair and a pierced right ear. When he was last seen he was wearing a fleece jacket and jeans.
"We are very concerned for Jean as he has never been out of touch with Marie for so long. If you know where Jean is or have any information about where he is, please get in contact with us and share the plea from Marie on You Tube. Anyone with information should call 101 quoting serial 1251 of 22/5, email email@example.com or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111."

Thug jailed for killing Portuguese man in Crawley
He'd been in the country for only a few days when he was attacked and killed on the streets of Crawley.
Today a 24-year-old man was jailed for life for murdering Joao Esteves, a Portuguese national who had travelled to England for a job interview.
Daniel Palmer filmed the attack on his mobile phone and sent pictures boasting of what he'd done. A friend who saw them alerted the police.
Tom Savvides has our report with an interview with Detective Chief Inspector Jason Taylor of Sussex Police.
Joao Esteves travelled to Crawley for a job interview
Joao Esteves, 45, from Lisbon in Portugal, had travelled to Britain from Portugal for a job interview but did not have anywhere to stay and was preparing to sleep rough for the night before catching a return flight home from Gatwick.
His body was found at 3.25am on 19 January.
Portuguese man killed in 'unprovoked' attack
"Palmer carried out a cowardly and vicious attack on Joao Esteves, who had done nothing to provoke him.
He refused to answer questions about the attack but we were able to prove with CCTV, DNA evidence and witnesses that he caused Mr Esteves terrible injuries.
Palmer later claimed that he had only acted in self defence, despite the fact that he assaulted Mr Esteves at two different locations.
He even took photographs and filmed his victim after he had carried out the attack that he sent to friends almost as a trophy, as if to brag about what he had done.
Mr Esteves was an innocent visitor to Sussex who had the misfortune to come across a violent thug who took his life."
CCTV shows Daniel Palmer with his victim before attack
The jury at Lewes Crown Court was shown CCTV footage of Daniel Palmer helping Joan Esteves away from Kwik Fit. The footage shows the men going into the alleyway a few hundred metres away together before Palmer is later seen leaving the area on his own.
Guilty of murder - The man who took photos of his dying victim.
A 24-year-old man has been convicted of battering to death a Portuguese man he found wandering the streets in Crawley.
Daniel Palmer repeatedly punched Joao Esteves, 45, on the forecourt of Kwik Fit, off Haslett Avenue East, on Saturday 18 January before leading his victim to a nearby alleyway where he continued with the assault.
He filmed the injured Mr Esteves using his mobile phone after the attack.
The body of Mr Esteves, from the Lisbon area of Portugal, was found on 19 January. He was taken to hospital suffering from serious head injuries but died later.
Mr Esteves had travelled to Britain from Portugal for a job interview but did not have anywhere to stay and was preparing to sleep rough for the night before catching a return flight home from Gatwick.
Palmer was jailed for life and told he would serve a minimum of 15 years.

[QUOTE="SmallHands;1375456"]So my bf and i just got our new and first fire arms but We havent got the chance to shoot em yet before we do shoot em i want to give our guns the froglube treatment first. Im not sure what i do really need for cleaning and maintenance but So far im thinking of froglube, silicon cloth, t-shirt patches, cleaning mat, microfiber rags, cleaning rod and a brass bore brush (i really want a nylon bore brush though). Is that a good list or do i need more?[/QUOTE
Get both brass and steel brushes try to stay away from microfiber anything best patches are 100% cotton ( never used froglube ) rim oil has worked in my shop for years and hasn't failed me yet as far as solvents go i will pvt message u on that
seriously....as some have said....use reg. household items and save that $$$.
i use cheap toothbrushes, Q-TIPS, and old socks and undies more than i use any other cleaning items.
i also find a FLEXIBLE cleaning rod to be indispensable.
oh! and i highly recommend wipe out bore cleaner....but i'd only buy it if i have long guns to clean imo....and be careful to cover wood finishes (shouldn't hurt it, but JIC).

Anyone want a pull?
Deutschland, ich bin in dir.
31C3 Packing List
I'm headed to Hamburg, Germany for the 31st Chaos Communications Congress, a week filled with hacking, geekery and strange German food. Thought I would make a post detailing the kit I am bringing with me since I have never done one before.
I was going to bring either my Kifaru Express or the E&E for this trip but I decided to get a new pack. The Express is way too big for the short time I'm away for and I have had issues getting it into a plane overhead locker. The E&E is just a bit too small to fit everything I want to take with me.
Enter the Goruck GR0. Plenty of room to fit what I need yet not unwieldy.
- Clothes in a Kifaru extra large pullout (2 pairs boxer shorts, 2 pairs socks, 2 tshirts, 1 pair sleeping boxers, merino wool thermal top
- 1.2 litre (40oz) Klean Kanteen
- Map of Hamburg
- Notebook, Sharpie and passport
- book
- USB battery, mini and micro USB cables
- Laptop and charger with EU plug (UK one in the photo)
- Kindle (not shown)
- Spork
- Self aid kit
- Towel, hygiene stuff and tissues
On me:
- Tshirt, socks, boxers, trousers, hoodie, boots, hat
- Pen, wallet, phone
Only 2 changes of clothes for a week? Won't you smell? No. The plan is to wash the stuff I wore each day in the shower at the end of the day. Gives me 2 days for everything to dry which is easily doable. Rotate as I go. Trousers can go for a week without being washed though if they get dirty I can wash them and they will be dry in the morning. Gotta love synthetics.
Total pack weight: 10kg. Pack light, go fast.
Well that was easy
On Christmas Day last year, I made the decision to not consume any alcoholic drinks for a year. I am pleased to say that I have managed that goal. Like I thought, it was pretty easy. Five nights of drinking a year to zero is a pretty simple goal to reach.
Another year teetotal? Challenge accepted!
Joylent: the first batches
I've had a couple Joylent "meals" so far.
First one was weak. I don't think I put in enough powder. Barely any chocolate flavour but still had a bit of the Weetabix dregs texture.
Second meal last night was much better. More pronounced flavour. I think I added more powder and gave it a good mix with a hand blender.
Third meal will be consumed for lunch today. I actually measured it out. One bag contains 515-520 grams of powder. I went with the high end and split into three which gives just over 173g of powder in the mixer bottle. Whisked that up and topped up to 600ml with water. Took a couple of sips and it has improved again.
Joylent: Unboxing
if you have been on the internet the past couple of years, you will have heard of Soylent. Not the stuff made from people but the nutritionally complete meal replacement milkshake stuff. Well, I wanted to get my hands on some. Sadly, they don't ship outside America. This left a few options.
I could have it remailed at a hefty cost, about the price of the Soylent itself. No go. I could go across and bring some back but attempting to get a box of white powder across borders would prove very interesting. Last option was DIY.
Enter Joylent. The European answer to Soylent. Reformulated to match EU nutritional guidelines and only 5 Euros to ship to the UK from The Netherlands. I promptly placed an order.
100%+ of the recommended daily intake of everything.
As I am a first time customer, they sent out a mixer bottle. Already have one for making up protein shakes for lifting but its a nice touch.
The Joylent itself. Looks like milkshake powder. The packaging has since been upgraded to nifty looking bags. One bag equals one day of food. Ten bags in the box. Three meals per bag so 30 meals.
Oil is supplied in these containers. Two of them in the box. One little tub per day. Not a fan of how the oil is packaged, looks prone to leaking.
If nothing else, I won't starve for a few days. Could make for good backpacking food, simple to prepare and doesn't require any fuel. Also good for emergency rations though I am unsure about the lifespan of the oil.
I plan to have one or two Joylent meals a day. Not going full time for now.
Suppose I better make up a batch to try it.

Rationalist Tutor: What is this thing?
Welcome to this new blog: Rationalist Tutor.
This post is a short explanation on what this blog is, what I plan to do with it and who I am.
What is this blog?
Since my time on tumblr and my experiences with people in the tumblr rationalist skype group, I've noticed that LW-style rationality can be pretty intimidating, overwhelming and jargon-y to people who first encounter this. I made this blog to offer a softer introduction which, in the beginning at least, will be more structured and easier to comprehend than just reading the Sequences from beginning to end.
It's also a place where you can ask questions about jargon, concepts and other things you don't understand. In my experience people are intimidated by Less Wrong or are simply told to "read the Sequences" which doesn't suit most learning styles.
Finally, I'm also going to try and offer resources outside of Less Wrong that explain the same or similar concepts.
What is the plan?
My current plan is to post at least one real introductory post per week. While I'm writing this, that seems manageable and might allow me to build up a queue.
I'm also going to try and post or reblog other things that might help people understand concepts.
Between those kinds of content, I'll do my best to answer any questions people might have.
Who am I?
I'm Yxoque.
My real name is Mathias. I came across Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality some time ago and slowly became a member of the Aspiring Rationalist community, going to the occassional meetup, hanging out on skype with other aspiring rationalists and talking on /r/hpmor.
I don't have real credentials for why I, specifically should take on the role of a rationalist tutor. My biggest claim to fame is hosting the Rationalist Masterlist (and ending up on Scott's map because of it).
That being said, I'll try my very best to do this self-suggested role justice and I hope people will get some value out of it.
Tolerance and Acceptance
Last week, one of the folk in an IRC channel I hang out in (#r4nger5 on freenode) came out as being transgender. The single negative comment? Your room is a bit messy.

Now I need to deal with all the bloody reposts and the Twitter links and the crossposting to Facebook. Le sigh.
Tumblr to WordPress crosspost test
I really hope this works.
A while ago, Liz Tarleton shared a thing on facebook, and I just read it, and it's great, so I'm copying it here. This Is Important.
Most people who know me eventually learn that I hate the phone. But most of them think I just have an adorable "preference" for email, or that I'm just being antisocial.
I love talking in person over a cup of coffee. I love email. But I bloody hate the damn phone for very good reasons. Here are a few:
- You are interrupting me.
- I am interrupting you. But mostly #1.
- I will have no record of what was said.
- I will also have no memory of what was said, or sometimes that we spoke at all. Sorry.
- But you will remember, and will be appalled when I don't remember agreeing to x.
- I will say or agree to anything if I think it will shorten the conversation by five seconds.
- Some people will do anything to lengthen the conversation.
- I like to think about what I'm saying without talking at the same time.
- I can't parse language with one ear. Not sure why. But I'll pretend I understood you anyway (see #6).
- (Which of my three phones was he going to call again?)
- (Oh, the one that's downstairs. Dammit.)
- My email never asks me to suddenly sprint across the house to answer it within 20 seconds.
- "What? No, you didn't wake me."
- "I wa…sorry. I wa…sorry. No you go first. No, you go."
- "Wait, you're breaking up. I….No, it just…you're break…hello?" Dammit.
- (Okay, now am I supposed to call back, or will she call back?)
- My email never runs out of battery.
- Getting my voicemail messages takes time that I could use not getting voicemail messages.
- Some people will do anything to lengthen a voicemail message.
- And then I call you back and get your voicemail.
I love you, don't call me, xoxo, thx.
Yes. It's in words now. This is brilliant.

Hailed as the "Mother of Modernism", the name Eileen Gray is back on everyone's lips as biopic The Price of Desire premieres this month at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival, running March 19-29. Here's how to delve deeper into Graymania.
THE FILM: Directed by Mary McGuckian and starring Orla Brady (above) and Alanis Morissette, The Price of Desire is centred around a love triangle at Gray's E-1027 modernist villa in the south of France. The film's proceeds will go towards restoring the now-decaying villa.
THE FASHION: Irish couturier Peter O'Brien provides the gorgeous costumes for The Price of Desire. A former theatre designer – and former head of design at Rochas – we couldn't think of a better man for the job. "[Designing for] theatre is much more fun as one designs for character," O'Brien told us in 2013. "But mainly because one doesn't have to impress the buyers."
THE BOOK: To delve a little deeper into Gray's fascinating career, get Jennifer Goff's Eileen Gray: Her Work and Her World (d35.95; www.irishacademicpress.ie). The curator of furniture at the National Museum or Ireland, Goff is a leading expert on Eileen Gray, and her book presents some rarely seen documents alongside stunning visuals.
THE LOOK: Get Eileen Gray's furniture designs at Minima, which sells iconic pieces like the adjustable steel and glass E–1027 table, from €760. The table was designed in 1929 for the villa featured in The Price of Desire and is now part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. www.minimafurniture.co.uk
What's trending in March
1. The First Signs of Spring
Gardening is a lot like fashion, when you think about it, with its long lead times, careful planning, emphasis on design and occasional drama. And flowers and gardens are a naturally beautiful backdrop for fashion too. At the Marni flower market pop-up during Milan Fashion Week last autumn, buyers and fashion press mingled around huge colourful shoppers filled with blooms and went home with spring bulbs in pretty printed cartons. (We wonder how many were actually planted?). At Stella McCartney's Resort show last month in a garden on Elizabeth Street in New York, models walked on gravel paths and a food truck dispensed root beer floats and lavender margaritas. If you resolve to venture into your garden this month, further inspiration comes in the form of an impressive new book, Gardens (Roads, €45). The most famous gardens in the world feature – the National Botanic Gardens and Powerscourt included.

3. Accessories
The Colour Pop
Add a splash of colour to your look – Italian accessories brand Furla, celebrated for its vivid colour palette, is new to Arnotts. "Furla is about energy, life and colours," says Mario Testino, world-class photographer and Furla's new creative partner. "When I look at the product, I imagine whoever is wearing it is having a great time." This season's collection features punchy hibiscus orange, cobalt blue and the sumptuous jade-green Alice tote seen in Testino's campaign shot, €590.

On the first Friday of 2002 – 4 January, to be exact – the Foreign Minister of the new US-backed Afghan government, Dr Abdullah Abdullah, announced that the world's most famous one-eyed Mullah, the Taliban leader Mohammed Omar, was "under siege and surrounded". Dr Abdullah's boss, Hamid Karzai, confidently added that Mullah Omar would be "delivered to the US" to stand trial – presumably on the basis that he had given hospitality and security to Osama bin Laden and the other al-Qa'ida leaders behind the assault on the World Trade Centre.
As it turned out, Mullah Omar had not been completely surrounded. He managed to flee Helmand on a motorbike, and found refuge somewhere in Pakistan. Where he is now, neither the Afghan government – nor probably the Pakistan government – know. All they do know is that Mullah Omar is still the leader of the Taliban, and still commanding its operations against the American troops – and ours – in Afghanistan.
If, eight years ago at the outset of Operation Enduring Freedom, anyone had predicted such an outcome, he would have been ridiculed – just as it might have seemed incredible when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, that 10 years later they would leave in despair, having lost 14,000 soldiers in combat, with many more terribly injured.
We make predictions about Afghanistan at our peril, therefore; and anyone who says with certainty what will happen in that benighted region if the international force withdraws – or if we stay – should be treated with about as much respect as we would accord a fairground Tarot reader. To use the language of the former US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, the best we have are "known unknowns".
So when Lord Ashdown writes, as he did last week, that "withdrawal would mean the certain fall of Pakistan", we should not regard this as anything but a reasonably educated guess – and certainly worthy of no more credibility than the prediction that if US forces abandoned Vietnam, the whole of South-east Asia would fall to Communism like a pack of dominos.
Although strategists like to divide the world up into zones of influence, the truth is that most conflicts are intensely local in origin. It is especially true of Afghanistan, which is not really a nation at all, but a mess of competing tribal rivalries. This is presumably what the senior US official in Afghanistan, Matthew Hoh, meant when he declared "I fail to see the value in continuing US casualties and expenditure of resources in what is really a 35-year civil war" – and quit.
If we are to pull out our forces, however, it should not be for the wrong reasons. While arguing for staying, Lord Ashdown was writing in the immediate aftermath of the killing of five British soldiers by an Afghan police officer they were training. He portentously declared that this incident had "fractured a central plank of the only strategy we have". Many other commentators took a similar line, seeing this incident as an example of the uncontrollable treachery of the Afghans we have been training to enforce law and order.
Yet, according to an investigative report by the Sunday Times' Christina Lamb – who has been covering Pakistan and Afghanistan for the best part of 20 years – this incident was no plot against the Brits. It turns out that the killer was a young officer, called Gulbuddin, who had been serially sexually abused by a much more senior officer (these things happen in Afghanistan); he swore revenge against his abuser, and targeted him with a machine gun while the senior officer was in the company of a number of British soldiers.
According to an eyewitness report: "The five British soldiers were killed simply because they were present and considered to be the officer's protectors." So if we are going to have a debate about pulling our forces out of Afghanistan, let it not be because of some entirely random act of sexual revenge by a deranged young man.
It is true that those deaths brought the tally of British soldiers killed in active operations in Afghanistan to over 200; and for every one of those we need to multiply by the number of close family members bereaved to get a sense of the scale of personal grief caused. At the risk of sounding callous, however, the fact is that the number of fatalities is remarkably small for a war – and it is a war – that has lasted for eight years.
The same would be true for the Americans, who have, over the same period, lost just over 600 soldiers, with about 4,400 wounded. Moreover, this is not like Vietnam, where thousands of conscripts lost their lives; the US forces in Afghanistan, like ours, are career soldiers, volunteers all.
However, the continuation of such casualties is tolerable, both to the armed forces and to the nation as a whole, only if they are borne in a campaign which has a definable purpose and an end in sight – preferably the end which was defined at the outset. In this country Gordon Brown has been abject in defining its purpose. He gives the impression that it is purely to safeguard Britons from al-Qa'ida threats which would otherwise be launched from Afghanistan. If that is the basis of our argument, we should have invaded Pakistan and put troops on the streets of Bradford.
When General McChrystal asked President Obama for an extra 40,000 troops in Afghanistan, he did not do so just to limit al-Qa'ida attacks on New York City – it is because he is attempting to defeat the Taliban. Like most military men he is not a counter-terrorism expert – he is trying to win battles against a rival force. What the US army is engaged in is counter-insurgency, not counter-terrorism, although admittedly the distinction between the two can get blurred.
It does worry me – it should worry all of us – that the British Government is committing our troops to a joint operation with the Americans, if the objectives being pursued are not the same: that is only a recipe for confusion. For this is an international operation, led by the Americans, but supported – in blood and treasure – by many other nations apart from ours.
The debate in this country about whether or not "we" should withdraw is conducted as if this was an autonomous British military exercise in Afghanistan, as it was in the 19th century. This is a ludicrously anachronistic and parochial way of looking at it. It is a UN-mandated international mission, although obviously the US has the dominant role.
President Obama has now dallied and fretted for almost three months without giving a response to General McChrystal's plea for an extra 40,000 men. The reason for his hesitation is obvious: none of his civilian advisers wants to make that commitment. Obama, however, is commander-in-chief, and will probably find a compromise number of extra troops, fewer than the military believes it requires, but not so small as to appear to be letting the soldiers down. It will be the worst of all outcomes, since it will satisfy no one, and risk greater casualties without giving the force required for even the hope of a conclusive military victory.
I am no military man, but I suspect there are only two rational approaches at this stage: either a massive additional force from the Americans, bigger even than McChrystal has called for – or rapid withdrawal, with all the loss of face that that would entail. A halfway house would be political cowardice; and a poor reward for the immense courage of our soldiers.
Could the BBC be any more left-wing? First they employ loads of Tories, and then they're caught chillaxing in Cameron's kitchen

The Bridge Poem by Peter Bolton
.... The hills ended, but before her rolled more of the same,
Rearing up in the distance into towering spires of snow and ice,
Stretching as far as her mind could wander.
In between was the gate,
And the gate opened onto the bridge.
On both sides the oceans reached out,
Turbulent and tempestuous to the utter bounds of reason.
Joining them was the stream,
Whose currents moved though it was still and silent.
The gate was the only passage,
The gate and the bridge.
Under its single arch the limpid water flowed,
Both to the left and to the right,
In mobile stasis,
Undisturbed by the passions of the mighty seas, which it connected.
Reflected in this mirror, the willows hung.
There was silence and no bird sang.
She swung the gate and its hinge was oiled.
The air was as quiet as a wren's breath.
Below her now, the river ran.
It ran and ran to where it stood and she stood there and gazed into its depths.
Looking up she saw that both before and after were the same,
The gate well sprung, the hills devoid of life.
What can she seek?
Loosening her hair, she leaned over the parapet
And let it hang down to touch the water's surface.
She asks.
Should I go forward to death, or back, or follow?
I see the rings where my hair touches the water.
They flow outwards as silent as the waves of night.
They open up the way, so that I may fall forever into my own eternity.
There is nobody but me.
Nobody but me.
I was made alone.
Before she falls, she pleads.
Will you be?
Can you be?
You think it is sad that all will end.
It is not what is that is sad, or what will be.
The sadness lies in what was not, is not, and cannot be.

Software updates and TUF
The TUF Advantage
TUF also uses text files with JSON-encoded data, so you can easily check the signatures manually and then check the file contents – because they are human readable. Because TUF does not rely on network encryption to protect the data or metadata in transit, you can deploy it over untrusted networks and even on untrusted servers. The worst thing an untrusted server can do is refuse to update the files, which the client software will detect. The untrusted server cannot, for example, include an updated timestamp file with older signed metadata, because the metadata will not be the listed version. The same goes for the actual files, which also means clients can run their own mirrors of the update server – even offline mirrors – assuming they have some way to move the files to them.
Projects Using TUF
Sadly, not a lot of people are using TUF. The good news is that several programming languages are now looking at using TUF to secure their plugin frameworks. Python's PyPI, for example, has PEP 458 [7], and some New York University students are working on adding TUF support to the RubyGems client [8].
Other Concerns
Now you have an update system, and you're able to push a single file or an entire block of files to clients. What should you do about older versions with known security flaws? Because you control the timestamp file, you can change the metadata to make old files invalid, so even if someone keeps the old signed files around, the client won't use them. Whether or not you should do this is an open-ended question. For applications, it's probably not a bad idea, assuming the newer versions don't have bugs that prevent them from working. For programming language components, this may not be a safe choice because it could potentially break a large number of systems using your update system.
