Navigating Mixed Messages About HIV
We are required to both downplay the seriousness of HIV and to stress its terrible impact. Here’s the view I favor.

IND vs AUS 2017: This is what Rahul Dravid has to say on Hardik Pandya

[caption id="attachment_55371" align="alignnone" width="580"] Rahul Dravid lauded Hardik Pandya for his brilliant performance in the ongoing ODI series against Australia. Image Source: twitter[/caption]
Internet Desk: Legendary Indian batsman Rahul Dravid and current Indian U19 team coach Rahul Dravid thinks that star-all-rounder Hardik Pandya has taken his cricketing career to a different level by playing his best cricket just what the situations demand in the ongoing limited overs series against Australia.
Dravid was the coach of Hardik Pandya when India A toured Australia last year and he thinks that the current crop of India A players will learn something from Pandya’s hard hitting batting.
"A good example about Hardik from my perspective is, he's willing to play situations and not just the natural game we often speak about. Credit goes completely to him. It's not about playing just the one way you want to play," he said on the sidelines of India A's unofficial Test against New Zealand A in Vijayawada.
"He's the one who has actually turned his career around," Dravid was quoted as saying by 'ESPNcricinfo.com'.
Pandya is currently the hot topic of Indian cricket as he smashed the Aussie bowlers through all parts of the ground in the ongoing five-match ODI series against Australia. He has played two match winning knocks in two out three games so far.
In the first ODI, he along with Mahendra Singh Dhoni had revived India's fortunes with a match-turning 83, while in the third game, where he was sent up to No. 4 after the openers put on a century stand in a chase of 294, Pandya sustained the momentum by scoring 78.
"If he bats at four, he bats in a particular way. If he bats at six, he bats in a particular way. Tomorrow, he may bat at 80 for 4, like he did in the first ODI with Dhoni. That shows maturity and that's what you want to see.
"This concept of 'play your natural game', which I hear all the time, frustrates me because there's no such thing in my belief as 'natural game.' It's only about how you play different situations," Dravid, who has been coaching India's U-19 and A teams for over two years now, said.
Dravid feels Pandya is a perfect example of how to bat differently in different conditions.
"You have to learn to bat differently in different conditions, and if you can do that like Hardik is showing at the moment, those would be signs of a developing cricketer, someone who can make consistent contributions and not someone who is a one-off, who can produce brilliance once in a while.
"The aspiration and challenges set for a lot of India A players is to be all-weather players, all-situation players, all-condition players."
Rishabh Pant is another big hitter who made his international debut earlier this year against England after graduating from the Under-19s in 2016.
But his aggression has cut short a few of his promising innings and Dravid, who has worked with Pant for over two years now, stressed on the importance of providing the players with a learning environment.
"It's recognition of the fact that someone like Rishabh will always be an attacking player. You don't want to take away his attacking instincts, but you want to inculcate a certain sense of smartness to be able to read situations and recognise situations where the time is hot for you to make it count," said Dravid.

← 5 Benefits of Trading Cryptocurrencies
Deciding the Right Path to Success →
‘Green’ bitcoin alternative Chia is leading to hard disc shortages
Cryptocurrencies based on owning a large number of hard discs, rather than using computer processors, could offer a less energy-intensive alternative to bitcoin and might even make it cheaper to build data centres – although one is already causing soaring demand for hard discs that is disrupting supply chains.
Bitcoin and several other popular cryptocurrencies are created, or mined, using a concept called proof of work, which involves solving computationally difficult puzzles that consume a large amount of electricity. Bitcoin’s annual electricity consumption is estimated to be 148 terawatt-hours and rising, or around the same amount as Poland’s. Now, rival currencies are emerging that instead make use of large numbers of empty hard discs, a concept known as proof of space.
Because hard drives are less energy-intensive to run than processors, proof-of-space currencies are touted as being more environmentally friendly. However, demand for one such currency, Chia, has become so high that some Asian countries, such as Vietnam, are reporting shortages of hard discs. The same phenomenon occurred with graphics cards, which proved to be extremely efficient at mining certain proof-of-work cryptocurrencies. Currently, around 3 million terabytes of hard disc space are being devoted entirely to mining Chia, enough to store 3 billion movies.
Jason Feist at hard drive manufacturer Seagate says the company is experiencing strong orders and that staff were working to “adjust to market demand”.
He also suggested that these new cryptocurrencies could provide a way for companies building large data centres to offset the cost by turning them over to mining. “Chia, and similar technologies such as Filecoin and Sia, show potential ways businesses can turn their idle infrastructure into ongoing revenue,” says Feist.
Michel Rauchs at the University of Cambridge says that while bitcoin’s proof-of-work approach is well understood, proof-of-space alternatives are still in their infancy.Other consensus algorithms that are less energy-intensive but also introduce some level of centralisation and subjectivity might be an acceptable trade-off. There are always trade-offs involved, most of which tend to only become known over time,” he says.
Aron Peterson, who works in digital production for the film industry in the UK, says that people in his field started to notice the price of computing hardware creeping above manufacturer-listed prices around six years ago. He puts it down to the demand for graphics cards by cryptocurrency miners.
“It was causing frustration among creatives and gamers who didn’t want to purchase upgrades at inflated prices just because other people were wasting huge amounts of electricity to compete for digital tokens,” he says.
After deciding to try mining himself, Peterson found that it was using significant energy. He also predicted that it would take five months before mining any coins. “Obviously I wasn’t going to run this experiment for five months, especially if the estimated time continued to climb as new miners appeared,” he says.
Peterson isn’t convinced by Chia’s green credentials, saying bitcoin miners are unlikely to switch because it would require them to buy new hardware. “Instead of displacement, it’s an additional crypto to be mined,” he says.
“Aside from the energy usage, this results in mountains of electronic waste as hard drives will fail faster and more often,” says Peterson. “The poorest people in the world already live with mountains of e-waste pollution we dump on them and this is just going to add to that.”
Chia Network, the firm behind the cryptocurrency, didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Episode 4C-The flower shop without roses-Bara no nai Hanaya
Video Stream in subtitle: Episode 4C
The hospital head now understand that his daughter loved Ying-Gi very much, but he did not know how to love and did not love his daughter before she died.
Now Showu is being brought to a shelter for children being abused. The teacher explained to Showu that he'll be in care of foster parents, but they will love him like their own. Ying-Gi tells Showu, if he ever feel sad or is unhappy for any reason, he can feel free to drop by the flower shop in front of the station, even if he is in high school, just bring a rose, he'll understand. The coffee shop owner said he can come to him as well.
May-Ying was still discussing with the hospital head that Ying-Gi can't be the one who ditched his daughter. The hospital head found out from the videos that his daughter left, the lover never went to the hospital after finding out she was pregnant until she died. He figured Ying-Gi is just repenting from his sins by bringing the daughter up in life. Just because he changed doesn't mean he can be forgiven.
Yu was talking to the old lady that she wants May-Ying and her father to get married. The old lady, after seeing May-Ying is not blind, said Yu is too rushed.
Ying-Gi, the coffee shop owner, and the teacher went for dinner. The teacher said the police will be checking into Showu's parents and they might go to jail. Ying-Gi is more worried about Showu's psyche when he grows up. He wouldn't know what's real love and he will be wondering why this kind of thing happened to him. Ying-Gi then left early and dropped by May-Ying's condo. May-Ying was watching video from Yu's mother when Ying-Gi came by saying he forgot his keys.
Ying-Gi didn't want to wake up Yu and the old lady and Naue wouldn't pick up his phone. May-Ying took out the white ball that supposedly won her the lottery LCD. She said she knew they didn't win because she showed people the red ball and people laughed at her and said it was a white ball. Ying-Gi was embarrassed that he got found out. May-Ying said it's okay, as long as it's what Ying-Gi said, she'll always believe him.

Naue, the private detective, called the hospital head, telling him that it's time to advance to the next stage....
Ying-Gi bought a LCD and a video recorder for May-Ying as a gift. May-Ying said she can't do anything for him in return. Ying-Gi was very grateful for May-Ying cooking for him and his family, everyone said it was delicious. May-Ying kept on asking, "for real", Ying-Gi said he would never lie to her. All of a sudden she broke into tears. We all know why. May-Ying ask if he has always being like this ever since childhood, very gentle and kind to everybody, his parents must have taught him well. Ying-Gi think he is capable of doing cruel things. May-Ying applaud him for knowing himself and not running away from it like most people.
Showu's step father talks about how dumb the store owner was and how easy is it to make money using Showu. Showu's mother is afraid to get caught, but the boyfriend said Showu is very clever. The mother's boyfriend even said that if the child died accidentally, then they would make a lot of money. (How cruel can you be? This guy is immoral)
Yu was calculating the monthly budget when Ying-Gi was waiting for Showu's phone call. Yu was blaming on Naue taking the money, but Ying-Gi admit that he took some. Yu then begin her little speech about since Ying-Gi make the money and can spend it as he wish, but she would prefer he tells her about it first. Ying-Gi won't say what he bought. (LCD, and video recording equipment I bet).
May-Ying's father was going to leave the hospital, but May-Ying made him stay until the report comes out. Her father told her not to hide the truth from him.
Naue wanted to tell Ying-Gi about May-Ying's eyes. The scene than switched to the old lady who's living at Ying-Gi place visiting her old friend at a hospital. She saw May-Ying as a nurse in the hospital. What's going on?
Showu took out the chocolate his was hiding before and starts to eat. His mother's boyfriend saw him and decide to grab him, at that time Showu took the cellphone. Then we see Ying-Gi grabbing the coffee shop owner to save Showu. Ying-Gi gave the coffee shop owner the mask Yu made, then he knocked on the door and budged in. Now we see a series of scenes without dialogue. They rustle with Showu's mother and her boyfriend. The mother fought back with feather pillows. Ying-Gi showed her her cellphone with SOS sent out to him and ran back to the car where the teacher and the store owner was waiting.
May-Ying wanted to disperse the hospital head's misunderstanding toward Ying-Gi. May-Ying said it was inevitable since there is no way that Ying-Gi knew his lover's body couldn't handle pregnancy.

May-Ying doesn't believe in luck. But she thinks maybe there will be good things happening after bad things happened. Therefore she doesn't believe winning the lottery either, but she still get angry at herself for buying one. Ying-Gi accompanied her to buy groceries and saw a price draw beside for a TV, the grand price. Ying-Gi wanted to know if the TV has being won yet, the store owner told him that the lucky red ball won't be in the drawing box until the last time just to attract more customers. Ying-Gi was struggling with the store owner to put the red ball in the box while May-Ying drew a ball herself. Of course it wasn't a winner, but Ying-Gi really wanted to make her happy so he pretended that she won and rang the bell.
Ying-Gi was in the coffee shop when the store owner showed up to complain about Showu's parents. Since Showu stole from the store before, the store owner just assumed that Showu
stole again and ask for his parents' cellphone numbers. This time Showu gave both numbers pretty quick. The store owner said the parents was apologizing at first and the father even hit Showu to the ground. Then they found out there was no merchandise in the child's pocket. Showu's father then took advantage of the situation and starts to demand compensation, medical payment and complained about Showu's mental health now after he was spanked. The store owner think it's kind of weird about Showu's parents. Ying-Gi made a comment that the parents setup a trap for the store owner.
Showu still didn't go to shool the next day. His mother just told the teacher that he was sick. The teacher came to ask Ying-Gi if he knows what's happening. They went out to find Showu playing at the beach. Ying-gi took them to a restaurant and starts to explain what's happening to the kid to the teacher. The man that went to the store wasn't really Showu's father, he is Showu's mother's boyfriend. Showu doesn't want to go home because he doesn't know what side his mother is on and might change all of a sudden. Showu sometimes goes to different people's house to stay and refuse to go home since he might be beaten. Ying-gi gave Showu back his chocolate and call him a "no name warrior" There are at least 30,000 children like him. Everyday wearing the same thing, ignore by their parents.
The school teacher contacted the previous school that Showu went to and found out he didn't go to school for 2 months at a time before. Ying-gi told the teacher that they can only save him if he is willing to betray his parents and ask for help, otherwise, the court will give him back to his parents at the end of the day.
The hospital head caught his wife packing some bags. She said she doesn't want to be married to him any more. He just use work to escape the hurt that he felt after their daughter passed away. Instead of grieving together, he ignored his wife to the extent that his wife feel alone in the marriage. She rented a place and she just left.

Somali shot after allegedly attempting to attack Danish cartoonist

Kurt Westergaard
(CNN) -- A Somali man believed to have ties to terrorist groups was shot as he allegedly tried to enter the home of Danish political cartoonist Kurt Westergaard -- known for his controversial depictions of the Muslim prophet Mohammed -- on Friday, police said.
The 27-year-old man, who was not identified, wielded an ax and a knife and cracked a window at Westergaard's home in Aarhus, said police spokesman Morten Jensen. A home alarm alerted police to the scene at 10 p.m., and they were attacked by the man, he said.
The officers shot the man in the right leg and left hand. He was hospitalized, but was not seriously injured, police said.
Danish intelligence officials said the suspect is connected to al-Shabaab, al Qaeda's ally in east Africa.
The incident "once again confirms the terrorist threat that is directed against Denmark and against cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, in particular," said Jakob Scharf, spokesman for the Danish Security and Intelligence Service, in a statement.
Westergaard's caricature of Mohammed -- which depicted the prophet wearing a bomb as a turban with a lit fuse -- sparked an uproar among Muslims in early 2006 after newspapers reprinted the images months later as a matter of free speech. The cartoon was first published by the Danish newspaper Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten in September 2005.
At the time, Westergaard said he wanted his cartoon to say that some people exploited the prophet to legitimize terror. However, many in the Muslim world interpreted the drawing as depicting their prophet as a terrorist.
Over the years, Danish authorities have arrested other suspects who allegedly plotted against Westergaard's life.
After three such arrests were made in February 2008, Westergaard issued a statement, saying, "Of course I fear for my life after the Danish Security and Intelligence Service informed me of the concrete plans of certain people to kill me. However, I have turned fear into anger and indignation. It has made me angry that a perfectly normal everyday activity which I used to do by the thousand was abused to set off such madness."
Scharf said authorities have taken measures to ensure Westergaard's safety, and that the protection has "proven effective."

Alec Forbes Of Howglen - Chapter 7
A day that is fifty years off comes as certainly as if it had been in the next week; and Annie's feeling of infinite duration did not stop the sand-glass of Old Time. The day arrived when everything was to be sold by public _roup_. A great company of friends, neighbours, and acquaintances gathered; and much drinking of whisky-punch went on in the kitchen as well as in the room where, a few months before, the solemn funeral-assembly had met.
Little Annie speedily understood what all the bustle meant: that the day of desolation so long foretold by the Cassandra-croak of her aunt, had at length actually arrived, and that all the things she knew so well were vanishing from her sight for ever.
She was in the barn when the sound of the auctioneer's voice in the corn-yard made her look over the half-door and listen. Gradually the truth dawned upon her; and she burst into tears over an old rake which she had been accustomed to call hers, because she had always dragged it at hay-making. Then wiping her eyes hastily--for, partly from her aunt's hardness, she never could bear to be seen crying, even when a child--she fled to Brownie's stall, and burying herself in the manger, began weeping afresh. After a while, the fountain of tears was for the time exhausted, and she sat disconsolately gazing at the old cow feeding away, as if food were everything and a _roup nothing at all, when footsteps approached the _byre_, and, to her dismay, two men, whom she did not know, came in, untied Brownie, and actually led her away from before her eyes. She still stared at the empty space where Brownie had stood,--stared like a creature stranded by night on the low coast of Death, before whose eyes in the morning the sea of Life is visibly ebbing away. At last she started up. How could she sit there without Brownie! Sobbing so that she could not breathe, she rushed across the yard, into the crowded and desecrated house, and up the stair to her own little room, where she threw herself on the bed, buried her eyes in the pillow, and, overcome with grief, fell fast asleep.
When she woke in the morning, she remembered nothing of Betty's undressing and putting her to bed. The dreadful day that was gone seemed only a dreadful dream, that had left a pain behind it. But when she went out, she found that yesterday would not stay amongst her dreams. Brownie's stall was empty. The horses were all gone, and many of the cattle. Those that remained looked like creatures forgotten. The pigs were gone, and most of the poultry. Two or three favourite hens were left, which auntie was going to take with her. But of all the living creatures she had loved, not one had been kept for Annie. Her life grew bitter with the bitterness of death.
In the afternoon, her aunt came up to her room, where she sat in tearful silence, and telling her that she was going to take her into the town, proceeded, without further explanation, to put all her little personal effects into an old hair-trunk, which Annie called her own. Along with some trifles that lay about the room, she threw into the bottom of the box about a dozen of old books, which had been on the chest of drawers since long before Annie could remember. She, poor child, let her do as she pleased, and asked no questions; for the shadow in which she stood was darkening, and she did not care what came next. For an hour the box stood on the floor like a coffin, and then Betty came, with red eyes and a red nose, and carried it downstairs. Then auntie came up again, dressed in her Sunday clothes. She put on Annie's best frock and bonnet--adorning the victim for sacrifice--at least, so Annie's face would have suggested--and led her down to the door. There stood a horse and cart. In the cart was some straw, and a sack stuffed with hay. As auntie was getting into the cart, Betty rushed out from somewhere upon Annie, caught her up, kissed her in a vehement and disorderly manner, and before her mistress could turn round in the cart, gave her into James Dow's arms, and vanished with strange sounds of choking. Dowie thought to put her in with a kiss, for he dared not speak; but Annie's arms went round his neck, and she clung to him sobbing--clung till she roused the indignation of auntie, at the first sound of whose voice, Dowie was free, and Annie lying in the cart, with her face buried in the straw. Dowie then mounted in front, with his feet on the shaft; the horse--one Annie did not know--started off gently; and she was borne away helpless to meet the unknown.
And the road was like the going. She had often been upon it before, but it had never looked as it did now. The first half-mile went through fields whose crops were gone. The stubble was sticking through the grass, and the potato stalks, which ought to have been gathered and burnt, lay scattered about all over the brown earth. Then came two miles of moorland country, high, and bleak, and barren, with hillocks of peat in all directions, standing beside the black holes whence they had been dug. These holes were full of dark water, frightful to look at; while along the side of the road went deep black ditches half-full of the same dark water. There was no danger of the cart getting into them, for the ruts were too deep to let the wheels out; but it jolted so dreadfully from side to side, as it crawled along, that Annie was afraid every other moment of being tilted into one of the frightful pools. Across the waste floated now and then the cry of a bird, but other sound there was none in this land of drearihead. Next came some scattered and ragged fields, the skirts of cultivation, which seemed to draw closer and closer together, while the soil grew richer and more hopeful, till, after two miles more, they entered the first straggling precincts of the grey market-town.
By this time the stars were shining clear in the cold, frosty sky, and candles or train-oil lamps were burning in most of the houses; for all these things took place long before gas had been heard of in those quarters. A few faces were pressed close to the window-panes as the cart passed; and some rather untidy women came to the house-doors to look. And they spoke one to another words which, though inaudible through the noise of the cart, were yet intelligible enough to Annie, with her own forebodings to interpret the expression of their faces.
"That'll be little Annie Anderson," they said. "She's gaein hame to bide wi' her cousin, Robert Bruce, up i' the Wast Wynd. Puir wee lassie!"
For, on the way, Annie had been informed of her destination.
But she was too miserable already, because of leaving her old home, to care much to what new one she was going. Had it not been for the absorption of this grief, she could not have been indifferent to the prospect of going to live with her cousin, although her dislike to him had never assumed a more active form than that of wishing to get away from him, as often as he came near her.
The cart stopped at Bruce's shop-door. It looked a heavy door, although the upper half was of glass--in small panes. Dowie got down and went into the shop; and before he returned Annie had time to make some listless observations. The house was a low one, although of two stories, built of grey stone, and thatched. The heavy door was between two windows belonging to the shop, in each of which burned a single tallow candle, revealing to the gaze of Annie, in all the enhancing mystery of candlelight, what she could not but regard as a perfect mine of treasures. For besides calico and sugar, and all the multifarious stock in the combined trades of draper and grocer, Robert Bruce sold penny toys, and halfpenny picture-books, and all kinds of confectionery which had been as yet revealed to the belated generations of Glamerton.
But she had not to contemplate these wonders long from the outside; for Bruce came to the door, and, having greeted his cousin and helped her down, turned to take Annie. Dowie had been before him, however, and now held the pale child silent in his arms. He carried her into the shop, and set her down on a sack that stood outside the counter, leaning against it. He then went back to his horse's head.
The sack made no bad seat, for it was half-full of turnip-seed; and upon it Annie sat, and drearily surveyed the circumstances.
Auntie was standing in the middle of the shop. Bruce was holding the counter open, and inviting her to enter.
"Ye'll come in and tak a cup o' tay, efter yer journey, Marget?" said he.
"Na, I thank ye, Robert Bruce. Jeames and I maun jist turn and gae hame again. There's a hantle to look efter yet, and we maunna neglec' oor wark. The hoose-gear's a' to be roupit the morn."
Then turning to Annie, she said:
"Noo, Annie, lass, ye'll be a guid bairn, and do as ye're tell't. An' min' and no pyke the things i' the chop."
A smile of peculiar import glimmered over Bruce's face at the sound of this injunction. Annie made no reply, but stared at Mr Bruce, and sat staring.
"Good-bye to ye, Annie!" said her aunt, and roused her a little from her stupor.
She then gave her a kiss--the first, as far as the child knew, that she had ever given her--and went out. Bruce followed her out, and Dowie came in. He took her up in his arms, and said:
"Good-bye to ye, my bonnie bairn. Be a guid lass, and ye'll be ta'en care o'. Dinna forget that. Min' and say yer prayers."
Annie kissed him with all her heart, but could not reply. He set her down again, and went out. She heard the harness rattle, and the cart go off. She was left sitting on the sack.
Presently Mr Bruce came in, and passing behind his counter, proceeded to make an entry in a book. It could have been no order from poor, homeless Margaret. It was, in fact, a memorandum of the day and the hour when Annie was set down on that same sack--so methodical was he! And yet it was some time before he seemed to awake to the remembrance of the presence of the child. Looking up suddenly at the pale, weary thing, as she sat with her legs hanging lifelessly down the side of the sack, he said--pretending to have forgotten her--
"Ow, bairn, are ye there yet?"
And going round to her, he set her on the floor, and leading her by the hand through the mysterious gate of the counter, and through a door behind it, called in a sharp decided tone:
"Mother, ye're wanted!"
Thereupon a tall, thin, anxious-looking woman appeared, wiping her hands in her apron.
"This is little Miss Anderson," said Bruce, "come to bide wi's. Gie her a biscuit, and tak' her up the stair till her bed."
As it was the first, so it was the last time he called her _Miss Anderson, at least while she was one of his household.--Mrs Bruce took Annie by the hand in silence, and led her up two narrow stairs, into a small room with a skylight. There, by the shine of the far-off stars, she undressed her. But she forgot the biscuit; and, for the first time in her life, Annie went supperless to bed.
She lay for a while trying to fancy herself in Brownie's stall among the grass and clover, and so get rid of the vague fear she felt at being in a strange place without light, for she found it unpleasant not to know what was next her in the dark. But the fate of Brownie and of everything she had loved came back upon her; and the sorrow drove away the fear, and she cried till she could cry no longer, and then she slept. It is by means of sorrow, sometimes, that He gives his beloved sleep.
CHAPTER VIIIShe woke early, rose, and dressed herself. But there was no water for her to wash with, and she crept down-stairs to look for help in this her first need. Nobody, however, was awake. She looked long and wistfully at the house-door, but seeing that she could not open it, she went back to her room. If she had been at home, she would soon have had a joyous good-morrow from the burst of fresh wind meeting her as she lifted the ready latch, to seek the companionship of yet earlier risers than herself; but now she was as lonely
CHAPTER IIIBy this time the funeral was approaching the churchyard at a more rapid pace; for the pedestrians had dropped away one by one, on diverging roads, or had stopped and retraced their steps. But as they drew near the place, the slow trot subsided into a slow walk once more. To an English eye the whole mode would have appeared barbarous. But if the carved and gilded skulls and cross-bones on the hearse were ill-conceived, at least there were no awful nodding plumes to make death hideous with yet more of cloudy darkness; and one of the panels showed, in

Your unworlding
War is a theme that gives me a nearly welcome unease. If that seems a strange thing to say, I'll admit upfront that while I mean it, it's really a bad paraphrase. After years covering wars all over the world, the journalist Chris Hedges wrote a small masterpiece of a book called War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning. In it and in lectures he has given since, he explores war as elixir and grime, as myth and betrayal. To me, it is a profoundly anti-war book, without being merely pacifist. That's the understanding Hedges has, grown from his experiences. I won't say more, you should read the book.
I buy and read books about war with a sort of compulsive fascination. My shelves are dotted with them: about battles from Leonidas and his heroic Spartans to Agincourt, the World Wars to Vietnam and the Gulf Wars. I haven't read a lot of books on my shelves, but the war books -- they get read. The best of them sadden me greatly; more than that, they make me choke to hear emptiness like the "glory" of war. And they drive me to read ever more. That's the welcome unease.
The best of them: Eugene Sledge's With the Old Breed, John Keegan's The Face of Battle, Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire and Hedges's book. Others. I'm now reading Tobias Wolff's Vietnam memoir, In Pharaoh's Army.
You'll notice I've not mentioned Indian books on war. I've often wondered: is there truly no outstanding book-length writing on our wars? Or have I missed something? Memoirs by retired Generals tend to be stilted and self-serving, and I've never been inclined to read regimental histories that other retired Generals write. (Who does read those?) The HarperCollins book, Guns and Yellow Roses, is thought-provoking and features some superb writers, but it is in the end a collection of essays that doesn't dig deep enough.
Where's the Indian Sledge, the jawan or young officer who fights and has no illusions about the other side, but is clear-eyed too about his own Army and country, and what his fellow-soldiers do in their names? Where's the look back at the wars we fought, the mistakes we made, that's not drenched in enemy perfidy? Where's the gripping retelling of Porus fighting Alexander, or the carnage at Kalinga that awoke an Emperor's conscience?
Yes, what am I missing?
But back to Chris Hedges. He writes, and has often spoken, of a close friend who died in Sierra Leone in 2000 -- Kurt Schork, also a war correspondent. He and Hedges worked together for a decade, starting in northern Iraq. In a lecture at Harvard two years ago, Hedges spoke of how they would "pass books back and forth in our struggle to make sense of the madness around us."
Sometimes I think that's why I read so compulsively on war, Hedges's book included.
Kurt Schork was buried in a Sarajevo cemetery. In November 2000, Hedges went to Sarajevo to visit Schork's grave. He read a poem there. Now most times, poetry does very little for me. But this one haunts me, there's no other word I have. The Roman lyric poet, Catullus, wrote it to honour his brother, killed near Troy in 58 BC. Here it is, in full.
By strangers' coasts and waters, many days at sea,
I came here for the rites of your unworlding,
Bringing for you, the dead, these last gifts of the living
And my words -- vain sounds for the man of dust.
Alas, my brother,
You have been taken from me. You have been taken from me
And by cold hands turned to shadow, and my pain.
Here are the foods of the old ceremony appointed
Long ago for the starvelings under the earth.
Take them. Your brother's tears have made them wet. And take
Into eternity my hail and my farewell.
I sent these lines to a young man I know who lost his brother in Kashmir in 2000. They come to me whenever I come across names like Nawang Kapadia, Abhimanyu Sikka, Nissar Ahmed Rishi, Abhijit Gadgil, Saurabh Kalia, Baban Chawa, S Shabiyullah ... A very long list. All taken from brothers like Catullus and Hedges, from sisters and wives and families -- and by cold hands turned to shadow, and their pain.
War gives us meaning, Hedges writes. Pain, unease and some haunting questions, in that meaning.
The poem by Catullus is really nice and haunting. For me this is the second time that I have come across a poem, or rather a fragment of a poem by Catullus on the web in about a month - and I had not even known about him before that.
Annie Zaidi said...
No Indian war books? What're you saying? Ramayana? Mahabharata?
In fact, many people still believe the myth that one should not keep a copy of the Mahabharata in a home, because it leads to conflict... its probably the greatest war-book every written, (considering it includes The Gita) except it is probably based on a story so old, we can no longer recognize it
Annie, point taken. What I guess I meant was books written in modern times. But there again, there is Irawati Karve's superb little "Yuganta". A definite must-read.
Sriram said...
One of my favorite war poems is "Suicide in the trenches" by Siegfried Sassoon. It goes like this:
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.
Sourin Rao said...
The past 100 years must have witnessed wars that will easily surpass the destruction wrought by all the collective wars that came before that. Are we truly evolving or is this regressive behaviour ? When will we ever learn from the futility of wars ?Its so easy to comprehend the savagery of this excercise, but why so diffcult to eradicate ?
Suhail said...
I'll go off on a tangent, again. But I hope it adds value to the topic.
I have no books, no poems, but a post-war movie. Very Indian. Of times here and now. Probably nobody has heard of it. The cast is Om Puri and his wife Revathi. Based on true story of a father's struggle to honour his son lost in Tiger Hills, by starting the petrol-bunk, offered to families of Kargil martyrs by the govt. It's about the "battle which begins after the war ends". The movie is Dhoop. Go watch it. Just don't blame me, if you find yourself swinging between conflicting emotions of triumph and dejection.
Forgot to mention: that petrolpump operates somewhere in Delhi by the name "Kargil Heights". Delhiites, go check it out.
Chappan,
"We" have not killed all these people in the last century. It is the various governments of the world that have killed millions upon millions. It is not just war either. Mao and Stalin killed millions of their countrymen by efficient "central planning" as well.
Individuals, however, and private corporations (driven by greed, those scum!) have saved millions of lives by various innovations and acts of charities, without forcing people in any way.
And yet, there are those who think the only way to solve anything is to hand over all our hard earned money and rights to these very politicians and bureaucrats!
Chappan, what if evolving means turning into ever more aggressive, violent, murderous beings? I believe we will never be free of wars. The challenge is to find ways to make them more difficult to wage.
Sriram, I read Chappan carefully and I did not find anywhere that he said "we" killed a lot of people. In any case, since you managed to connect mass killing in wars to handing over our money and rights to politicians and bureaucrats, I'm waiting to hear about the connection to making life hard for car owners in Bombay.
Fine poem, by the way. If you like Sassoon, try Wilfred Owens too ("Dulce et Decorum Est" is a marvel); also read Pat Barker's "Regeneration".
Sunil said...
Food for thought.....(or perhaps the thought is on).....you could write a book on Indian wars.....Kargil for starters. Its been a while since Narmada and Branded by law...
-Sunil
I have made the connections clear in earlier posts and I believe you even agreed (sort of). It all comes down to force. Anything achieved through force is wrong and voluntary interaction is the best model.
I didn't bring up car owners in Mumbai in this thread, but you did. So here goes: I think if a glut of cars leads to congestion in traffic and scarcity in parking, people can figure out the impracticality of cars themselves and will start using mass transport. NYC is a case in point.
I think any central planner deciding for everyone about the suitability of cars in Mumbai and forcing it down commuters throats is immoral.
I am not sure where you stand. You seem to be against force and coercion. May be you exempt your own ideas from that or may be you don't consider it coercion at all. Or may be coercion is OK when it is for the "common good" as decided by the chosen few?
Sriram, but you did bring up a puzzling connection: wars, to handing over money and rights to politicians and bureaucrats. So I thought, you must then have something to say about your earlier puzzling connection, re: cars in this city.
But forgive me, I still am unable to see what connection what you say in your comment above has to do with wars. No doubt you will explain.
I am not sure where you stand, you say. Well, that's a change! Not long ago you listed a whole lot of things about me to prove I was not libertarian.
Sunil, thanks! Another book is sort of in the works in my head -- it may be about war, though I don't think about Kargil. Let's see. It is about time, I feel it!

Title of the keynote: Quantifying the customer value in online services
Online services typically serve a wide range of customers with varying characteristics. Each customer has a unique pattern regarding when, what and how much services she accesses, who she interacts with, how much revenues she generates, etc. Engineering a successful online service requires a deep understanding of its customers in order to efficiently allocate the available resources. In this talk I will examine various dimensions that determine the value of an individual customer: from cost and service affinity to social influence. Using data from a cellular service provider I will demonstrate how user-profiling can help the provider to better manage its costs and revenues and ultimately increase its profitability. I will close by discussing possible directions on how user-centric design can benefit other online services such as online gaming or content delivery.

GEPAN – Update on our COVID-19 response
Our efforts to respond to the steadily growing dietary needs of families bracing the COVID-19 pandemic in Guyana are set to intensify. With the logistical support of the NTC, we continue to provide relief packages to families in indigenous communities, especially those in Region 1, who are located at the epicentre of the recent C19 spike. On July 3rd we delivered another contribution for Region 1 and would like to thank Ms Jude Da Silva who has been a tremendous help in getting our packages to indigenous communites through the National Toshaos Council (NTC).
Ms Jude Da Silva has played an instrumental role in launching and coordinating relief for indigenous communities located in the hinterland.
Our main challenge remains the difficulty to replenish our food banks as donations and funding have declined since the pandemic began against a backdrop of increasing demand. This can be linked to a general decline in economic activities in some sectors.
Despite this, we remain grateful to our network of donors who display immense faith in the work that we do. Though most of our core donors request anonymity, we pounce on this exception to thank The Giving Hearts Team for their generous contribution to our last intervention for Region 1. On behalf of our beneficiaries, please accept our most heartfelt gratitude.
A new partnership!
We take this opportunity to announce that we have recently partnered with C.A.R.E. Guyana, a digital platform bringing together donors and beneficiaries. C.A.R.E. Guyana – Community Assistance Relief Effort – allows us to track contributions as we respond to the needs of beneficiaries requesting assistance. It also enables us to extend our reach to both donors and beneficiaries, while ensuring that communities in remote locations have access to this opportunity. We currently have one call for action on this website where you can directly contribute to a list of items needed for our hampers using the reference GU7NZR8. Among the items needed are basic staples, female and baby hygiene products, soaps, toothpaste, canned goods and desinfecting products. Donors can subsequently now donate through the C.A.R.E. Guyana website by clicking here.
Donations can also be made in kind by contacting us directly through our website or social media pages. We will provide you with a list of items that usually constitutes our solidarity hampers. You can also make financial contributions via our website using this link.

To understand the process of cytokinesis regression, localization of cytokinetic proteins was investigated. It was observed mislocalization of Anillin, Aurora B, Septin 9 and Alix in the intercellular bridge, and no dedication of secondary constriction and abscission sites. Dietary fiber treatment also led to overexpression of genes related to malignancy, cytokinesis and cell cycle. The results display that chrysotile materials induce cellular and molecular alterations in normal and tumor cells that have been linked to cancers initiation and development, which tetraploidization and aneuploid cell formation are dazzling events after fibers internalization, that could generate a good context to cancers development. [7], and it is noticed after asbestos remedies [8-10]. These nutrient fibres are believed environmental carcinogens and also have been implicated in lung malignancies and other critical lung illnesses (silicosis, carcinomas and mesotheliomas) [11-13], getting banished from many countries. You can find two sets of asbestos fibres: amphiboles (such as amosite and crocidolite fibres, highly correlated to lung cancers and mesotheliomas) and serpentines. Serpentines are symbolized by chrysotile fibres, the just kind of asbestos fibers that’s used commercially in lots of developing countries Shikonin still. Chrysotile is known as more versatile, with a little transverse section and neglect to accumulate within the lungs after dietary fiber fragmentation into brief pieces. Regardless of the variations between serpentine and amphibole materials, both are believed carcinogenic to human beings. Chrysotile materials when adopted by cells make a difference cell morphology and resulted in mitotic dysfunction. Nevertheless, little is well known regarding the molecular systems of chrysotile Shikonin carcinogenesis. Once internalized [9, 14-16], chrysotile materials can DHX16 bind protein, Organelles and RNAs and may impact cell behavior [9, 17-20]. For instance, they are able to generate air reactive species that creates cell tension, oxidation reactions, DNA strand breaks and cell loss of life [21-24]. Chrysotile materials hinder mitosis resulting in mitotic failing, tetraploidization, multinucleation, centrosome amplification and multipolar spindles that generate multiple progeny [8, 9, 25, 26]. Nevertheless, the systems in charge of aberrant mitotic occasions have yet to become elucidated [25]. Our previously work described a number of the ramifications of chrysotile on tumor cells [8], uncovering the current presence of and multipolar mitosis aneuploidy. In today’s study, we concentrate on the molecular systems underlying these results, looking into the sources of mitotic and cytokinetic abnormalities and focusing on how aneuploid cells are produced after chrysotile exposure then. Also, besides human being lung tumor cells we’ve used a standard epithelial cell tradition model to imitate the cells that chrysotile would 1st encounter when released in to the lung. This permits us to recognize phenotypes, mobile and molecular adjustments that accompany the tumorigenic procedure in cells much like the ones that become cancerous = 50 metaphases, total values Shikonin are demonstrated. E. In charge LC-HK2 cells the maximum between 61 and 80 chromosomes was regarded as the diploid condition. After 48 h of chrysotile treatment and treatment accompanied by 48 h of recovery the amount of tetraploid metaphases improved. After 96 h of recovery, the diploid maximum was decreased and cells with different amounts of chromosomes had been noticed. = 100 metaphases. * 0.05, ** 0.01, and *** 0.001. Chrysotile treatment induces tetraploidy in regular and tumor cells The amount of chromosomes in RPE-1 and LC-HK2 cells was examined in metaphase spreads. 92% of mitotic RPE-1 cells got between 42 and 50 chromosomes, regarded as the diploid interval. The rest of the 8% was distributed between significantly less than 42 chromosomes (hypodiploid, 4%), 84 to 101 chromosomes (tetraploid, 2%) and a lot more than 101 chromosomes (hypertetraploid, 2%). After 48 h of chrysotile treatment, the percentages of tetraploid cells risen to 10% as well as the hyperdiploid to 4%. After treatment accompanied by 48 h of recovery, the hyperdiploid and tetraploid human population reduced, time for control amounts (Shape ?(Figure1D).1D). After 96 h of recovery, fewer mitosis were observed and no significant differences were observed between control and treated cells (data not shown). In LC-HK2 cells, tetraploid population was also detected after 48 h of chrysotile treatment and after treatment followed by 48 h of recovery. After 96 h of recovery, the tetraploid population decreased, but at this time point the diploid population was 37%, indicating that.

Comments Off on Katherine "In Conversation" with Kenneth Grange – Britain’s most successful product designer
It’s a tremendous honour be asked to spend an evening with a British design great and that’s exactly what I’m doing on 15 May at 7pm at The Lightbox Museum in Woking. You simply have to join me too!
Kenneth Grange is responsible for the design of many products that we use or see in our everyday lives from the re-design of the London Black Cab and the Intercity 125 train to Kodak cameras and Parker pens. In 1958 Kenneth Grange founded the company Kenneth Grange Design Ltd of which electrical appliance manufacturers Kenwood and Kodak soon became the initial chief clients.
I last had the opportunity to interview Kenneth Grange when I was writing my book on Post-War household design (Are You Rich?).Then we delved into his work for Kenwood, most specifically his redesign of the iconic Kenwood Chef in 1960, which he crafted on paper in just four days. Grange transformed the ‘Chef’ from an industrial looking mixer to a sleek, modern, squared-off design that gave the Kenwood Chef a high-tech desirability.<!> Good Housekeeping Magazine voted Grange’s resulting “sheer look” food mixer, “the British housewife’s all-time favourite kitchen appliance.”
This neatly dovetails into the Exhibition that’s the backdrop for my “In Conversation” evening: ‘The Art of Design: Kenwood in the Kitchen’ – runs until 24 June.
The exhibition unwraps the tale of Post-War appliance design, following the creative journey of Kenwood products, including products designed by Kenneth Grange. He continued designing for Kenwood (amongst other companies) for 40 years, designing over 100 domestic appliances for the company.
Grange’s innovation-led product design, during a career spanning over 50 years, has recently been the subject of a major retrospective at the Design Museum, which showcased just how big an impact one product designer has had on products and appliances that shape our everyday lives.
‘In Conversation with Kenneth Grange’ will be a unique opportunity to hear the inside story of such a prolific career as well as his personal reminiscences of working with Kenneth Wood during the early years of Kenwood before being sold to Thorn Electricals in 1968, all whilst supporting The Lightbox Education Programme.
Tickets £20 (adults) £16 (concessions) – includes a glass of wine and a chance to chat to me too! Advance booking is required, tel 01483 737837.
All proceeds will support The Lightbox Education Programme.
Comments Off on A sparkling tale unfolds on BBC 2
Now I’ve had my fair share of good finds over the years (most recently on my Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is series for the BBC) and I’d love to say that this one was mine… but sadly… it was the lucky chap who was out foraging at in a London street market who struck gold. The photograph I’ve included shows a rather glamorous and hugely rare Lanvin from 1945 but when the lucky shopper first spotted it, this dress was cumpled, cast aside and looked somewhat forlorn. It was only a discrete Lanvin label that encouraged him to part with ?70 for the dress. And how clever that was. After a spot of professional cleaning to remove the grime and stains it was escalated to stardom becoming the top lot in Kerry Taylor’s 17th April auction. There was a complete buzz in the air as the room saw a bidding war break out. Three telephone bidders jostled for the top position and finally, this glorious piece was sold by Kerry to a European private collector.
The dress label helps to date it to 1945 – a year before Jeanne Lanvin died and the year of liberation from German occupation at the end of World War II. The House of Lanvin stood at 22 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore and even when the first German troops enterered Paris in June 1940, Lanvin remained open. “It is necessary to adapt to present circumstances by creating simple things, which will be very beautiful,” Jeanne Lanvin said at the time.
What also made this dress unique was that a miniature version of it appeared in ‘Le Theatre de la Mode’ – an exhibition of the best of French couture which was displayed on dolls and exhibited in Paris and London in 1945 in aid of post-war charities. Lucien Lelong the president of the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, spearheaded the exhibition which aimed to show the best of French haute couture – but in miniature. In the introduction to the exhibition catalogue it stated “The French manufacturers seek to convey to London for the first time in five years, their faithful remembrance and deep feelings of sympathy” in reference to Britain’s war-dead. He also stated that the exhibition was “but the latest of a series of activities whereby the Paris Fashion Houses have sought to safeguard their independence and their workers, while contributing towards the funds of `Entraide Francaise…it is not intended to represent luxury or lavish use of materials; it is instead a proof of ingenuity and good taste”
The unusually generous hip line was made possible by discrete horse hair panniers beneath. One of Lanvin’s claims to fame in her early career was the ‘Robe de Style’ which also used panniers to emphasise and extend the hip line, which was widely imitated in the early 1920s. Before and during the war, Lanvin had dressed many actresses who played leading roles in historial stage and screen dramas, which made her obvious historical references even more fitting.
A wonderful tale of precise provenance and a spot of good luck combined – now that’s inspiration for us all – well done Kerry!

The Godfather of Pop Sir Peter Blake likes what he sees
When you’ve spent months curating a world-class exhibition (“Snap, Crackle and Pop: British Pop Art meets the High Street in the Swinging Sixties”, you’re always anxious on the opening night.
Small-scale style
It’s wonderful being a Club member of Brooklands Museum (www.brooklandsmuseum.com) – you get to sneak over there whenever the moment takes you to savour Britain’s aviation and motoring heritage.
Fabulous film-star fashion need not come at a price!
It was a real treat to get up close and personal with one of Victor Stiebel�s most magical creations � the ball gown he designed for the British film actress, Margaret Lockwood. I can barely describe how glorious it is to see the midnight blue tulle, which overlays lashings of cream chiffon, sparkling with golden embroidered stars and spangles. Lockwood chose to unveil Stiebel�s design at the inaugural Royal Film Perfomance in Queen Elizabeth�s reign, which saw thousands gather at The Empire, Leicester Square on 27th October 1952. No doubt it turned heads as she floated through the crowds with film director, Herbert Wilcox.

The Foolish Things We Do With Our Computers
By Ben Okopnik
"Foolish Things" is a now-and-again compilation we run based on our readers' input; once we have several of these stories assembled in one place, we get to share them with all of you. If you enjoy reading these cautionary tales of woe, proud stories of triumph, and just plain weird and fun things that happen between humans and silicon, that's great; if you have some to share so that others may enjoy them, even better. Please send them to .
[ You can even tell us that it happened to A Friend of Yours, and we'll believe you. ]

A Well-Grounded Understanding of Electricity
Prozacgod
How's this for foolish - I once was trying to repair one of those old all-in-one Mac Classics. Well, Computer A booted and made the nice little "Happy Mac" startup noise, but no screen; Computer B didn't boot, but the screen came up (well, it wasn't straight black, so I could tell it had power and a retrace) - I decided to swap the power supply from one video board to the other, and taking particular caution to note the "Big Rubberized Red Wire" - well somehow the "BRRW" got in the bundle of wires that I was chopping off. Imagine my surpise! (note: I was sitting indian style in shorts, on a concrete floor, using a large rusty razor blade to hack through the bundle.)
[ Considering that even black-and-white TVs had 15,000 volts coming out of the flyback transformer, and color ones ran about 30 to 40kV, that must have been equivalent to at least a Grande Mocha With The Espresso Shot... with a methaphetamine chaser for a snack. Brrrr. Reminds me of my own days in TV repair. -- Ben ]
Restarting From Less Than Scratch
Mario Wolczko [unix-horror-story]
[ Once in a while, I like to repost classic Unix stories from the past here; I try to select ones that have educational, interesting, and fun content. Hopefully, they will be of use to new Linuxers, and provide entertainment (and perhaps fond, or even not-so-fond, recollections) for those who have been around for a while. In any case, enjoy. -- Ben ]
Have you ever left your terminal logged in, only to find when you came back to it that a (supposed) friend had typed "rm -rf ~/*" and was hovering over the keyboard with threats along the lines of "lend me a fiver 'til Thursday, or I hit return"? Undoubtedly the person in question would not have had the nerve to inflict such a trauma upon you, and was doing it in jest. So you've probably never experienced the worst of such disasters...
It was a quiet Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday, 1st October, 15:15 BST, to be precise, when Peter, an office-mate of mine, leaned away from his terminal and said to me, "Mario, I'm having a little trouble sending mail." Knowing that msg was capable of confusing even the most capable of people, I sauntered over to his terminal to see what was wrong. A strange error message of the form (I forget the exact details) "cannot access /foo/bar for userid 147" had been issued by msg. My first thought was "Who's userid 147?; the sender of the message, the destination, or what?" So I leant over to another terminal, already logged in, and typed
grep 147 /etc/passwd
only to receive the response
/etc/passwd: No such file or directory.
Instantly, I guessed that something was amiss. This was confirmed when in response to
ls /etc
ls: not found.
I suggested to Peter that it would be a good idea not to try anything for a while, and went off to find our system manager.
When I arrived at his office, his door was ajar, and within ten seconds I realised what the problem was. James, our manager, was sat down, head in hands, hands between knees, as one whose world has just come to an end. Our newly-appointed system programmer, Neil, was beside him, gazing listlessly at the screen of his terminal. And at the top of the screen I spied the following lines:
# cd
# rm -rf *
Oh, shit, I thought. That would just about explain it.
I can't remember what happened in the succeeding minutes; my memory is just a blur. I do remember trying ls (again), ps, who and maybe a few other commands beside, all to no avail. The next thing I remember was being at my terminal again (a multi-window graphics terminal), and typing
cd /
echo *
I owe a debt of thanks to David Korn for making echo a built-in of his shell; needless to say, /bin, together with /bin/echo, had been deleted. What transpired in the next few minutes was that /dev, /etc and /lib had also gone in their entirety; fortunately Neil had interrupted rm while it was somewhere down below /news, and /tmp, /usr and /users were all untouched.
Meanwhile James had made for our tape cupboard and had retrieved what claimed to be a dump tape of the root filesystem, taken four weeks earlier. The pressing question was, "How do we recover the contents of the tape?". Not only had we lost /etc/restore, but all of the device entries for the tape deck had vanished. And where does mknod live? You guessed it, /etc. How about recovery across Ethernet of any of this from another VAX? Well, /bin/tar had gone, and thoughtfully the Berkeley people had put rcp in /bin in the 4.3 distribution. What's more, none of the Ether stuff wanted to know without /etc/hosts at least. We found a version of cpio in /usr/local, but that was unlikely to do us any good without a tape deck.
Alternatively, we could get the boot tape out and rebuild the root filesystem, but neither James nor Neil had done that before, and we weren't sure that the first thing to happen would be that the whole disk would be re-formatted, losing all our user files. (We take dumps of the user files every Thursday; by Murphy's Law this had to happen on a Wednesday). Another solution might be to borrow a disk from another VAX, boot off that, and tidy up later, but that would have entailed calling the DEC engineer out, at the very least. We had a number of users in the final throes of writing up PhD theses and the loss of a maybe a weeks' work (not to mention the machine down time) was unthinkable.
So, what to do? The next idea was to write a program to make a device descriptor for the tape deck, but we all know where cc, as and ld live. Or maybe make skeletal entries for /etc/passwd, /etc/hosts and so on, so that /usr/bin/ftp would work. By sheer luck, I had a gnuemacs still running in one of my windows, which we could use to create passwd, etc., but the first step was to create a directory to put them in. Of course /bin/mkdir had gone, and so had /bin/mv, so we couldn't rename /tmp to /etc. However, this looked like a reasonable line of attack.
By now we had been joined by Alasdair, our resident UNIX guru, and as luck would have it, someone who knows VAX assembler. So our plan became this: write a program in assembler which would either rename /tmp to /etc, or make /etc, assemble it on another VAX, uuencode it, type in the uuencoded file using my gnu, uudecode it (some bright spark had thought to put uudecode in /usr/bin), run it, and hey presto, it would all be plain sailing from there. By yet another miracle of good fortune, the terminal from which the damage had been done was still su'd to root (su is in /bin, remember?), so at least we stood a chance of all this working.
Off we set on our merry way, and within only an hour we had managed to concoct the dozen or so lines of assembler to create /etc. The stripped binary was only 76 bytes long, so we converted it to hex (slightly more readable than the output of uuencode), and typed it in using my editor. If any of you ever have the same problem, here's the hex for future reference:
070100002c000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0000dd8fff010000dd8f27000000fb02ef07000000fb01ef070000000000bc8f
8800040000bc012f65746300
I had a handy program around (doesn't everybody?) for converting ASCII hex to binary, and the output of /usr/bin/sum tallied with our original binary. But hang on---how do you set execute permission without /bin/chmod? A few seconds thought (which as usual, lasted a couple of minutes) suggested that we write the binary on top of an already existing binary, owned by me... problem solved.
So along we trotted to the terminal with the root login, carefully remembered to set the umask to 0 (so that I could create files in it using my gnu), and ran the binary. So now we had a /etc, writable by all. From there it was but a few easy steps to creating passwd, hosts, services, protocols, (etc), and then ftp was willing to play ball. Then we recovered the contents of /bin across the ether (it's amazing how much you come to miss ls after just a few, short hours), and selected files from /etc. The key file was /etc/rrestore, with which we recovered /dev from the dump tape, and the rest is history.
Now, you're asking yourself (as I am), what's the moral of this story? Well, for one thing, you must always remember the immortal words, DON'T PANIC. Our initial reaction was to reboot the machine and try everything as single user, but it's unlikely it would have come up without /etc/init and /bin/sh. Rational thought saved us from this one.
The next thing to remember is that UNIX tools really can be put to unusual purposes. Even without my gnuemacs, we could have survived by using, say, /usr/bin/grep as a substitute for /bin/cat.
And the final thing is, it's amazing how much of the system you can delete without it falling apart completely. Apart from the fact that nobody could login (/bin/login?), and most of the useful commands had gone, everything else seemed normal. Of course, some things can't stand life without say /etc/termcap, or /dev/kmem, or /etc/utmp, but by and large it all hangs together.
I shall leave you with this question: if you were placed in the same situation, and had the presence of mind that always comes with hindsight, could you have got out of it in a simpler or easier way? Answers on a postage stamp to:

21st Century Radio: Digital Audio Broadcasting
Posted by admin on July 6, 2013 Leave a comment (0) Go to comments
by larsomat
Since the beginning of the 20th century, radio broadcasting has progressed leaps and bounds, going from standard transmissions by Canadian inventor Reginald Fessenden to DAB and web radio.
The biggest achievements have largely happened in the latter element of the 20th century. DAB started as a European analysis project in the 1980s. The BBC introduced the service in 1995. In 2007 an upgraded service called DAB+ was established across the globe. By this time, there were around 1,000 radio stations providing DAB across the globe, achieving over 500 million individuals.
DAB has, found on the many piece, been commonly accepted across the globe as a greater service than conventional AM and FM data, with just a some complaints from unhappy visitors.
The key blessings of DAB are an heighten in sound standard and less interference from different stations. AAC and MP2 help high fidelity with bit rates of about 256kps – the same standard of sound downloaded from iTunes.
A further benefit of the form of broadcasting is the ability to record your favourite shows at the touch of the switch. These shows is stored on your device for you to return to at a later date, in much the same method you are able to record TV shows within the loves of Sky and Virgin Media.
There is naturally a certain amount of criticism. Notably, the deficiency of stereo broadcasting from several radio stations, and lower-rate broadcasting from several others. By broadcasting at simply 128kps, radio stations will stream more music over the same room. The issue here is the fact that listeners respect this amount of sound as inadequate.
Another widespread problem about DAB is the sound delay, which is because much because 2 seconds compared to standard FM broadcasting. The 2 leading disadvantages of the include loosing sync with live broadcasts, creating live phone conversations hard to maintain with, and an unintelligible signal when in earshot of both FM and digital data.
However, with digital radio becoming increasingly prevalent in numerous nations all over the world, the requirement for FM stereos has become less and less. Analogue TV is set to be switched off in the UK in on December 31, 2013. While there is not any should change from FM to DAB really yet, advances in technologies mean it won’t be lengthy before the globe sees a change from analogue radio to digital broadcasting.

How Could The Ballon d’Or Shape-Up After Ronaldo And Messi?
Home A side Oh! Note Aside
by Pius Serugo
in A side Oh! Note Aside, Opinions
As it gradually gets simpler to separate victory from defeat, It’s actually getting harder to separate an individual’s influence from a team’s result.
It’s just this rush; – the feeling I am always left with when Messi, Ronaldo and likes take Credit away from the real orchestrators of the game. ‘Those players who carry the game-plan from the drawing board onto the turf.’
France Football Magazine and FIFA will always claim more Technical people take the right arm to the task of determining who comes out on top. But the truth remains that there is more to the selections than just casting the votes.
In this modern game, dominance has been by only two players for almost a decade. Could be right for a certain part, but largely wrong for particular moments were the ‘favorite’ could have been otherwise.
It has been simply aligning statistics and popular opinion, a trend that seen a shift of the best from where the game is crafted to where it is sold. In other words, it’s been turned into a money chase topic.
So, other players’ roles have been gradually molded to fit the puppet’s for as long as it brings in money or follows popular opinion. A certain section of the players does the thinking for most of the game, as some just catch the moments and fly away with all the credit.
“it’s a game of numbers and goals define the results. Fans come to the stadia to watch goals and so the other fits and gaps remain the coach’s concern.”
“We always focus our attention on the love of the game. People are what makes the game and so goals are a very important feed to what we desire.”
Said one FIFA official who prefers to remain anonymous for reasons best known to him.
If you dig deeper into his statement, it probably confirms that a bigger part of the Ballon d’Or selection has been decided by mere popular opinion as technical knowledge remains compromised; – matching with the less regard to performance as it appears to be for the past years.
Franck Ribery had a brilliant 2012/13 season but only stopped at winning the Champions League and European player of the year Award. Getty Images
In 2010, Wesley Sneijder and Iniesta were victims of circumstance and so was Franck Ribery in 2013. At the 2014 World Cup, not even Messi did recognize himself picking the MVP accolade ahead of Schweinsteiger, Toni Kroos and Javier Mascherano.
How Thomas Muller and Arjen Robben appeared on the final shortlist is the other thing I cannot explain. Have our heads been robbed of understanding?
I have been referred to a number of theories to explain this ‘move to the left’, but the most interesting one remains Luis Nunes Amaral’s.
Amaral brought forward a theory to validate reasons that form the basis for judging player performance. This Portuguese native, a physicist, and some collaborators developed a metric system to quantify player performance for the 2008 European Cup.
This system treated the team as a network and prized those players who kept possession of the ball (so that opponents couldn’t score) and set up scoring chances (so their team could) as the bigger picture of the game.
His conclusion had the likes of Xavi, Messi and Ronaldo as the best performers reading from the indices. However, this system still does not validate influence; – Some metrics are beyond just technology I suppose.
There are these players who never hold so much onto the ball but their contribution on and off the ball is great. For example, the influence David Villa had on that Spanish team could not be effectively quantified neither was Alonso’s.
Now that Ronaldo and Messi are coming to an end and there seem to be no ideal prototypes. Could we have better parameters to determine who comes out on top?
Generations have been changing with style. Before, it used to be the most charismatic players and not ideally ‘goal scorers’. Today it’s the reverse as many of the key players have been held up at the back.
Andreas Iniesta and Luka Modric are some of the dying breeds that have been denied a chance to win a Ballon d’Or despite their enormous contribution to the success of their teams. Getty Images
I still believe there’s a lot that is bound to happen and we should expect a twist to something else. Not so many goals are expected from the future contenders and little has been done to for cults and ‘fanboyism’. Ronaldo and Messi seem to have exhausted that avenue.
A growing technology for the game means more will be determined by science and less by the understanding of the game; which still means less regard to performance.
Amaral says that soccer is in a “pre-money ball situation, and analytics could play a much more important role in these kinds of decisions.”
‘We know it’s only recently that we have seen more serious statistical efforts, which data is largely proprietary and hard to obtain for analysis’.
But just before the analytics, what else could we have to determine the best players.
Nowadays, whether Messi or Ronaldo have not performed well in a particular season, it would be a big surprise not to have them up against each other on the final shortlist.
However, after these two (Messi and Ronaldo), we are bound to have a vacuum where there will be little difference between the best and the others like the case of 1962, 2003 or a wide gap between contenders as it was in 2005.
Some players with the qualities and skill-set to compete have been inconsistent as a result of too much modern football or money bags. Others are yet to get to a level beyond reasonable doubt to be drafted.
James Rodrigues could have been one of the front runners by now but he still lurks in the shadows due to inconsistency.
I have seen no complete player like the Colombian, James Rodrigues; – perfect skill set, tenacious, excellent crosser and header of the ball and a perfectionist at dead-ball situations. But has since disappeared as a result of attitude versus the modern game.
The same could happen to Kylian Mbappe at PSG, Marco Asensio and Isco at PSG, and Real Madrid respectively.
The influence of the traditional Clubs and seasons are bound to have a lot of influence at the next contenders. FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern have brought in players who they have later used to influence the proceedings.
It remains to be seen if Kevin de Druyne, Eden Hazard and Antoinne Griezmann won’t need moves away from their respective Clubs to Real Madrid or Barcelona to craft their chances.
Exceptional performances and identity were key for the previous versions were the game was followed and supported in a more balanced manner. Neymar has made it to this level but can PSG sustain his quest without a move to Real Madrid?
Neymar could join the most hated players in Spain should he join Real. It should be the next to best moves he should make if he is to have a go at the Ballon D’or. Getty Images.
The best players won’t have to be at their best consistently. All they will have to do is create cults (a number of followers), play at Madrid or Barcelona, cut up that film star look and work their way around a group of puppets.
There are not so many players that have built football communities that are able to understand and share their feelings and the one to do this, will make the cut easily. So it will be a wild thought about who deserves.
Perhaps in a few years, when age brings Messi and Ronaldo’s current run of excellence to a close, soccer statistics will have advanced enough that when the outliers aren’t obvious, we’ll still be able to know who’s best.
And one thing I know for sure is Midfielders will take back what actually belongs to them.

Dear Senator Van Hollen and Representative Beyer:
We write to strongly endorse the Millionaires Surtax legislation you will soon introduce in each chamber of Congress. The Millionaires Surtax would take a major step towards the kind of comprehensive and progressive tax reform America needs to narrow the nation’s troubling income and wealth gaps and raise significant revenue that can help create an economy that works for all of us, not just the wealthy few.
Your legislation will raise about $635 billion over the next 10 years, according to the Tax Policy Center (TPC), money that can be used to improve the lives of working families and children. In addition to putting our nation on a sounder financial footing, this revenue could protect and strengthen Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid and make investments in healthcare, education, infrastructure, affordable childcare and housing, nutrition assistance and renewable energy.
The Millionaires Surtax would add a 10-percentage point tax on income above $2 million for married couples filing jointly and $1 million for individual tax filers. The surtax would be added to the current top tax rates paid by the wealthy. It would apply to all forms of income: wages and salaries and income from wealth in the form of capital gains and dividends, which are taxed at a much lower rate than wage income. So, a rich CEO on Wall Street would pay a 10- percentage point higher tax rate both on his sky-high salary and on his income from a bulging stock portfolio.
The Millionaires Surtax would be strictly focused on the very wealthy. According to the TPC analysis, only 0.2% of taxpayers would owe the surtax, or just 329,000 tax filers in 2020. The remaining 99.8% of tax filers would not pay an extra dime.
The surtax is strongly favored by the public. An October 2019 poll by Hart Research Associates of likely 2020 voters found the surtax was favored by 73% of 1,001 likely 2020 voters polled, with just 27% opposed. Independents supported the surtax at 76% and Republicans at 53%.
The surtax is a relatively moderate proposal that can raise substantial revenue. It will be easy to implement, enforce and explain to the public. That’s because it is added onto the federal tax system’s existing rate structure. It does not require a major overhaul of the tax system or the creation of a major new tax. The surtax is difficult for the very wealthy to avoid since it applies equally to all forms of income.
Congress has some history with surtax legislation. In 2009, the House of Representatives voted to include a 5.4 percent surtax on married couples making at least $1 million (and singles making $500,000), as a financing mechanism in the Affordable Care Act. In 2011, the Senate proposed a 5.6 percent surtax above $1 million for married couples as part of a stimulus bill.
We thank you for introducing the Millionaires Surtax legislation and look forward to working with you to make it law.

Democracy Framework
No facts, no accountability: Scott Morrison lies with a specific purpose, and it’s damaging democracy
(Image: Private Media)
The following is an extract from Bernard Keane’s new book Lies and Falsehoods: The Morrison Government and the New Culture of Deceit.
Scott Morrison’s insistence on lying about his own actions, and the actions of his government, rather than focusing his misrepresentation on his opponents, suggests his lies and falsehoods are aimed at avoiding accountability.
There can be no accountability for the slow speed of a vaccination rollout if the government never committed to any targets in the first place. There can be no charge of climate inaction if Australia will “meet and beat” its emissions abatement targets. There can be no community anger at Morrison in bushfire-affected communities if he has extensive conversations with the locals. There could be no rorting of sports grants if the Australian National Audit Office found that they were all OK and Morrison had no role in their administration.

Agreed facts are at the heart of the concept of accountability in a democracy. If a program failed to meet its goals, if government action or inaction led to harm or death, if a grant was handed out for political gain, if a policy was skewed to benefit an interested party — these all reflect on a government’s competence and integrity. But if a government says a timetable never existed, that a program met goals even when it hasn’t, that grants coincidentally ended up in marginal electorates, no accountability is possible.
A national leader with a readiness to lie and a reflex to do so when under pressure
That’s not freewheeling bullshit offered by someone who doesn’t even care particularly if you know he’s bullshitting, who is simply in the business of attacking his opponents relentlessly. That’s an agenda to avoid accountability.
This is wholly consistent with the government run by Scott Morrison. The Coalition governments since 2013 have been the most corrupt in Australian history, and have reversed recent trends towards greater openness and accountability in government.
The government has rorted taxpayer money for political and personal ends. It has distorted climate policy for fossil fuel donors and skewed finance regulation for financial industry donors. There have been repeated instances of misconduct: forgery and leaking to the media, within ministerial offices; ministerial misconduct around water purchases and environmental regulation lobbying; big increases in political donations by large consulting firms rewarded with a substantial expansion in their government contracts; friends of the government handed contracts; sexual harassment complaints ignored; the corporate regulator gutted.
And that has proceeded hand-in-hand with a growing hostility to accountability and transparency. Since 2017, Australia has slipped out of the top 20 countries in the world press freedom index, managing a lowly 26th spot in 2020. Journalists have been subjected to high-profile raids, whistleblowers have been prosecuted.
The figure most aggressively hostile to scrutiny throughout the life of the government has been Scott Morrison. As immigration minister, he blocked even the most basic requests for information on maritime arrivals and the activities of the Australian navy, including its violation of Indonesian territory, under the notorious, fabricated pretext of “on-water matters”; the deaths of asylum seekers in Australia’s care were left uninvestigated; NGOs working for the government with asylum-seeker detainees were banned and threatened with gag laws if they revealed crimes such as sexual abuse perpetrated on Australia’s watch.
And when caught out in false accusations about the murder of detainee Reza Barati on Manus Island, or the actions of Save the Children workers on Nauru (which led to that NGO receiving significant compensation from the Immigration Department, along with compensation for the workers involved, accompanied by a statement of regret), Morrison refused to apologise or to even accept that he had accused Save the Children workers on Nauru of misconduct.
This may have been the first time Morrison used the tactic of outright denial that he had said what he’d said — a tactic he would use repeatedly as prime minister. In a statement in 2014 he accused Save the Children workers of “making false claims and, worse, allegedly coaching self-harm and using children in protests”, which “is also completely unacceptable, whatever their political views or whatever their agendas”.
This led to a bizarre on-air exchange in 2016. When read his own words, verbatim, in a television interview, Morrison replied, “I did not say that”, and tried to claim he was only making allegations. “I said allegedly,” Morrison insisted, repeating “allegedly” over and over, despite having clearly not used the word in accusing Save the Children workers of making false claims.
Seen from a broader perspective of accountability and transparency, Morrison’s habitual lying about his own statements, actions and government record are no accident, but form part of a coherent whole: a political style designed to avoid responsibility and stymie efforts to hold him accountable for his behaviour as a public official.

The West-country Listener Speaks His Mind
By Frank Gillard
In Frank Gillard
On 1 September 1939, Regional broadcasting passed out of existence. It returned on 29 July 1945 — not quite in the same circumstances as before, but with sharpened purpose — to shoulder all its old responsibilities, and to meet the challenge of new needs and new opportunities. The Regional programme of today retains what was best of the pre-war pattern. Music, talks, discussions, drama, documentaries, religious services, outside broadcasts, light entertainment are still there, reflecting the Region’s cultural traditions, serving the Region’s special interests, encouraging the Region’s creative resources, and providing opportunities for its native talent. But, in addition, a whole new field of Regional broadcasting — ground which before the war was largely undeveloped — has been opened up.
The war stimulated a lively public interest in everything that is topical, everything that is news, and in all the affairs of the day. And, since local affairs and local implications touch the lives of most of us just as much as national affairs,
it was inevitable that this widely renewed interest in the contemporary scene should find a marked reflection in post-war Regional broadcasting. It is hard to realize that up to 1939 there was no broadcast Regional news service in most parts of Britain. Nowadays the Regional news bulletin at 6.15 each evening draws an enormous audience throughout the land, each bulletin in its area serving a purpose and enjoying status and influence comparable to that of the BBC’s national news bulletins in their wider field. The Regional news service is supplemented by news talks, commentaries, and news-magazine programmes, and between them these news broadcasts mirror thoroughly and faithfully the life and activities of each Region. The size of the audiences to these broadcasts is a measure of their impact upon public life.
An enlightened community, alert and sensitive to developments around it, will also be articulate. So there is a second new ingredient in post-war Regional broadcasting which is of equal importance. The Regions have news and they also have views. Those views concern Regional problems. They also express distinctive personal and characteristic opinions on national affairs. There is no dreary uniformity of ideas and views throughout these islands. A Scot, a Welshman, a Yorkshireman, a Midlander, an Ulsterman, a Cornishman will each have different opinions on many a proposal conceived within ‘the Whitehall square mile’. During the last three years, the Regional programme services have come into their own as the natural platforms on which Regional opinions can be aired and Regional ideas discussed.
Take West Region as an example. Its series, ‘Speak your Mind’, has visited thirty small towns in the West Country. At each broadcast the Chairman, Gordon McMurtrie, has put a number of provocative questions (sent in by listeners) to a representative audience gathered in one of the town’s public buildings. Members of the audience with views to express on those questions have been free to come forward and state them—openly, spontaneously, and without restraint—at the microphone. Some of these questions have had marked local significance. At Bude, in Cornwall, plenty was said on both sides in reply to a question suggesting that hotel owners were over-charging holiday visitors. An Isle of Wight audience broadcast a lively discussion on a proposal to link the Island to the mainland by a tunnel. An audience at Honiton (the home of hand-made lace) had strong views each way about the usefulness nowadays of local crafts. At Painswick, in Gloucestershire, there were some forthright opinions on whether bell-ringers should be allowed to practise on week-nights. The argument of these and many other local issues, on topics weighty and sometimes not so weighty, has made compelling listening. So, too, have the discussions in every ‘Speak your Mind’ session on questions of more general concern. ‘Are country people better fed than townspeople?’ ‘Should natives of a town have priority when Council houses are allocated?’ ‘Why is the Territorial Army recruiting campaign going so slowly?’ ‘Should local Councils hold open meetings periodically, so that rate-payers can comment and criticize?’ And so on. There is never any shortage of pungent questions, and seldom are the members of the audiences at a loss for opinions upon them.
‘Speak your Mind’ gives the ordinary listener in the West a chance to express his views. ‘Any Questions’, a complementary series, gives him a chance to ask his questions. ‘Any Questions’ is a Brains Trust conducted in public before an audience. This series, too, travels round the West Country, mainly visiting the larger towns. Most of the experts invited to take part are West Country people. In their answers they express opinions which the West is particularly well able to understand. The experts sit before their microphones at a long table on the platform. In front of the platform, on the floor of the hall, stands another microphone, and it is to this microphone that the members of the audience step up, one by one, to put their questions. Again, local issues are often raised. At Exeter, for instance—‘Is it not a mistaken policy to spread building estates over good arable land while there are blitzed sites to be used near the centre of the city?’ And a kindred question at Plymouth—‘In the rebuilding of a city should sentiment for old buildings be put aside?’ At Bristol, where tobacco is a major industry, there was this question — ‘Is tobacco a necessity, a luxury, or a slavish habit?’
But as in ‘Speak your Mind’, so also in ‘Any Questions’ there are questions of wider scope. ‘Is nationality an obstacle to world peace?’ ‘Do the British submit to laws too meekly?’ ‘Is nationalization ruining initiative?’ ‘Where does Socialism end and Communism begin?’ ‘Shall we ever again be able to buy all the meat and fats we want?’ Audiences evidently study the special qualifications of the experts on the platform; the questions raised are very frequently on subjects which can be discussed with considerable authority by members of the panel. In the main, ‘Speak your Mind’ questions are on matters which can be usefully discussed in terms of everyday experience and ordinary common sense. In ‘Any Questions’, the subjects raised are those upon which the ordinary listener feels he needs the help and guidance of expert opinion.
Questions on religion are not barred in ‘Speak your Mind’ or in ‘Any Questions’. But they are dealt with specially in a monthly West Regional studio programme called ‘Thinking Aloud’, in which a small team of clergy and laity around a microphone discuss quite freely and spontaneously the questions which listeners have asked on matters of Christian belief and conduct.
In all these programmes much that is said is highly controversial. That is only to be expected. Many of the more routine talks and discussion programmes broadcast from the studios of the West Region also deal with controversial issues closely touching the lives of people living in the seven counties of the South-west. This was particularly true of the ‘County Commentary’ series, in which newspaper editors, writers, and people prominent in public life were invited to state their views freely on the air.
The BBC takes what steps it can to ensure that a fair and impartial balance is maintained in the presentation of controversial issues at the microphone. This balance is reasonably easy to maintain over scripted broadcasts spoken in the studios. But the spontaneity of ‘Speak your Mind’, ‘Any Questions’, and ‘Thinking Aloud’ naturally raises unusual difficulties. At any moment, and quite unexpectedly, things may be said on the air which cry aloud for some sort of balanced reply, and there may be nobody present able or willing to give such a reply — or the offending statements may come at the very end of a broadcast when there is no time to give the other side of the story. So, as a final safeguard, West Region inaugurated a correspondence-column-of-the-air, a regular programme called ‘Air Space’. ‘Air Space’ stands behind all the controversial broadcasts of the Region. Any listener who considers that justice has not been done in a broadcast, that something has been misrepresented, that the whole truth has not been told, can write to ‘Air Space’ with the knowledge that if his case is a good one his letter will be read at the microphone, and that his statement will receive just as much publicity as the broadcast which provoked it. ‘Air Space’ was primarily intended to guarantee the maintenance of overall balance and impartiality amid all the opportunities which Regional broadcasting offers for the free expression of opinion on the air. The programme fulfils this function satisfactorily, and in addition, listeners are seeing in it yet another platform from which the ordinary man’s views may be made known. Anyone in the Region with something to say on any matter of public interest can write to ‘Air Space’ about it. He can be sure that if his fellow listeners do not agree with him they will not be slow to say so in the next broadcast.
Taken together, these broadcasts form a considerable proportion of the Region’s total effort and output. They are alert and challenging, provocative and informative. They make good listening in themselves and undoubtedly they perform a public service in a Region which has had no chance of forming any unified opinion about its own affairs since Wessex ceased to be a kingdom.

Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm – 12 [End]
Okay. That final match between Asuka and Saki and positively AWESOME. What a great way to end the series! And even though most everyone knew what was coming many viewers (myself included) were floored by the final episode and loved the way the story was finally wrapped up – once again proving that so much of the success or failure of an anime series is not reliant on the use or avoidance of “tropes” (that abysmally over-wrought and crudely abused word nowadays) in and of themselves, but rather on the skill, care and effectiveness in resenting the story as a whole. Tropes are present and have been used for centuries (perhaps even millenia) for a good reason – in the hands of a skilled artisan they work.
Yessiree – more than anything else this episode proved … well, it proved many things, but leaving that aside for the moment … yes, more than anything the episode proved that Asuka is an inhumanly talented and gifted athlete, and especially one for the sport of Flying Circus. Seriously … the speed at which she grows reflex wise, raw talent wise and that intuition for the game is just … awe-inspiring. And it shows here in this match. Everyone present of totally blown away at the difference between Asuka in the summer tournament and in her matches up to this point as well.
Effectively there were two parts to the match. The first part was with no extra equipment tweakings, but just “normal Flying Circus”, and lets face it – Asuka dominated Saki and totally outplayed her in most every single way. And if you stop and think about what Saki did to Shindou (the best player in Japan, no less) only a few months ago Asuka’s performance is quite something – both on offense, defense, speed, aerial combat, agility, you name it; Asuka outplayed Saki and frustrated Irina to no end (my nasty side was giggling with Irina being finally served a slice of humble pie).
But then Irina, seeing Saki getting her head handed to her, decided to up the ante, and instructed Saki to completely turn off the “balancers” on her grav shoes and go after Asuka in that mode. Turning off the balancers effectively equals no safety settings to compensate for any possible errors or sloppiness on the part of the wearer of the shoes, but it also means the shoes give full potential output – this results in a huge potential boost in speed and aerial agility, and Saki, as we saw in the previous episodes, has been deliberately undergoing painful training for a long, long, long time for how to master the grav shoes in that mode.
Unsurprisingly Asuka is taken by surprise and Irina instructs Saki to go into “greensleeves” mode, which is effectively tying the score and then going into hyper speed mode of repeatedly smashing the opponent for the rest of the match until the time runs out with a tie score, forcing the game into overtime. It’s like getting a beat down by a superhero with super speed (like the Flash) so quickly that one has no time to respond – one can only be repeatedly, helplessly struck and humiliated until things end. As Asuka was – ruthlessly.
Needless to say, while I was gritting my teeth and in the anime the viewers were silent Asuka was overawed once again and inspired (!) and even overjoyed by the raising of the level of the game. So what does she do? She decides to also turn off the safety settings on her grav shoes. She had done this ever so briefly once before, but this time she does so in a match, and … umm … yeah … she 95% masters it. O.O Now if that is not a beast I do not know what it is. Just … crazy. And unsurprisingly both Saki and eSPECially Irina (not to mention everyone else present at the match) is utterly shocked.
It is then that something once again “clicks” in Saki, just as it began to stir in her semi-final match against Misaki. Asuka’s sheer love for the game, enthusiasm and happiness at being pushed further and further fully infects Saki and the two of them go at it full boar, taking off the gloves and bare-knuckling it at levels of skill and speed never before seen in the game’s history – it was rightly said that this match would redefine the game, with the new heights those training would strive for being that with the safety balancers on the grav shoes completely turned off.
The match in hyper mode was exhilarating – seriously. The two of them increased their speed and pursuit and evasion of their opponent to such a degree that the contrails from their shoes seemed to meld together into a single orb, like a miniature sun shining at mid-day, and in the midst of that incredible combat … as all knew was coming but on viewing it all held their breath … Asuka pulls off an utterly brilliant move, combining a millisecond barrel-roll and a flying fish style turn and scoring a point to win the match.
Needless to say – the viewers (in the anime and “outside” of it) were blown away, and interestingly Irina sees that in the hyper speed match the now joy-infected Saki was beaming with happiness for the first time in a match she could remember. Something inside Irina changes, and thankfully she shows herself to be receptive to considering that she may have gone about things with the wrong disposition, and admits it to both Masaya and Kagami-sensei, the latter of whom seems to have been the object of Irina and Saki’s striving – like all “hero worshippers” they only wished for approval from the person they adored and admired. And as events turned out, they DID receive such approval, but not through the means they expected nor for the reasons they thought. What a fabulous way to end the series! Huzzah!
For me this series has been a success from beginning to end, and in every way. I loved the manner of the adaptation, the way the characters were developed, the visuals, the world building, etc. The audio aspects were only “pretty good” for me, but it was still a plus in my book. I will likely go into all this in more detail in the upcoming review I give to the series, but I can say that this series will not only be archived, but I can already tell that it will have a high degree of re-watchability. It was, perhaps one of the most important aspects to any series, one of the weekly anime I most anticipated every week, and that anticipation stayed consistent and strong throughout the season. That’s proof that the studio and the writers were doing something right!
See you all in the final review of the series! ^^

A male sage-grouse courts a female
Sage-grouse are a lekking species, in which many males cluster together to court females from small display territories. Each male performs an elaborate, stereotyped visual and acoustic display, and females are free to ‘shop around’ for mates. Males do not provide any resources or parental care, so we think a female chooses her mate for the genetic material he will pass on to her offspring. In spite of decades of research on sage-grouse, we still have much to learn about what makes certain males attractive. Evidence points to the acoustic signals being important; this forms the basis of much of the research program in Professor Gail Patricelli’s lab. In 2006 we began a detailed study of sexual signaling near Lander, Wyoming.
Here’s a quick video of the spectacular display of the male sage-grouse. To see more, please visit my Youtube channel as well as the Patricelli Lab Youtube channel. You can also find links to additional photo galleries on my Photos page.
How do males adaptively vary their displays?
Robotic female sage-grouse
Models of sexual selection usually assume individuals have a single value for a given trait, and although animals typically vary their displays, this variation is often considered noise. We are attempting to understand how males might tactically alter their signalling behavior. We employ a combination of extensive field observations of mating success, video and audio recordings of courtship behavior, and experimental introductions of a realistic robotic female grouse that we can use to elicit changes in male display. First, we asked how males try to optimize both display rate and display amplitude (we believe females prefer both more and louder displays, but these two traits may negatively covary). We found that only non-preferred males faced this trade-off, while preferred males seemed to be able to increase both quantity and quality of displays. This study was recently published in Behavioral Ecology. Secondly, we will see how males use the unique directionality of their acoustic displays, and ask whether successful males are better able to aim their signals at the intended female receivers. The analysis for this is ongoing, and has led to additional undergraduate and post-graduate research projects measuring side biases in behavior in the sage-grouse (akin to left-handed/right-handed phenomena in humans) which are now published in the journal Animal Behaviour.
Our current research is focusing on further understanding variation within and among males in their display effort. If females prefer males that “work hard”, why shouldn’t males always display at their maximum rate? We are using economic models of bargaining and negotiation to try to understand the interactions between males and females that might dictate how hard males should court and how long they should persist in courtship. Leks are great places to understand how market forces might affect courtship- the lek can be thought of as a large open-air bazaar where both males and females have some control of different stages in the courtship process, and both may have outside options that may influence their bargaining behavior. Our first prospectus on this framework was published in Current Zoology in 2011, with a broader framework for considering plasticity in courtship displays here.
Sound Production in Sage Grouse: As you can see from the above video (or on our YouTube Channel), the male sage-grouse display includes both visual and acoustic components. The first part of the display consists of mechanical sounds that are not vocalizations, but are instead made by rubbing the rough tips of the white breast feathers against the inside of the wings. After these “wing swishes”, the bird makes vocal sounds including low-frequency “coos”, sharp “pop” notes, and a frequency-modulated “whistle” tone. I have adapted Gail’s eight-microphone array to include up to 24 microphones that we can place among male territories on the lek and record many males simultaneously. Thanks to several pieces of software (including Syrinx) developed by our collaborator John Burt, we are able to efficiently find calls in the multi-channel sound files and even determine where they come from (and who made them). This is just one of many exciting uses of microphone array technology.
Male sage-grouse displays within the microphone array
While examining sound spectrograms from our microphone array, we found evidence that males were in fact producing two simultaneous, non-harmonically related tones in the whistle. This points to a two-voiced system in which the syrinx– analogous to our larynx– has two sites of sound generation (although a phenomenon called biphonation could also account for the two tones). This was not known for grouse (in spite of decades of work by other researchers on sage-grouse vocal displays), or, in fact, from the galliform (a.k.a chicken-like) birds at all, and has initiated research on how sage-grouse and related birds make sounds. Our first paper describing this work was published in the Journal of Experimental Biology in 2009.
The mechanical sounds mentioned earlier have received relatively little attention from biologists. We have collaborators working on the mechanism of frequency modulation in these stridulations (more on this when it is ready for prime-time). Along side this mechanistic work, we are quantifying variation within and among males to determine whether there is any relationship between time or frequency components and male mating success, whether males might vary these depending on social context, and whether they could potentially be informative in individual identification. These analyses were led by our former undergraduate Becca Koch who Becca presented a preliminary analysis at the recent Animal Behavior Society meeting in Bloomington, Indiana and has published results in the Auk.
How does the environment affect signaling?
While we expect much of the perceived differences in male displays are due to differences among the males themselves, we do know males fight for territories; another goal of our research is to compare territory quality- i.e. how well sound propagates across the substrate, and whether this relates to the mating success of males. We first mapped male territories and identified favored display sites. We then went in at night to broadcast sound from these sites (as well as less preferred sites within and outside of territories), and recorded how much sound made it to microphones placed in a ring around this omnidirectional speaker,and to microphones in the array. Analyses on these questions are ongoing.
Links between Foraging Ecology and Display Behavior.
Much of the past work on male courtship effort in sage-grouse has had either implicitly or explicitly considered the idea that display is energetically expensive, and that males may come to the lek with differing energy budgets that may determine their performance level for females. But why should males vary? Some males might be less capable because of disease or underlying genetics, but at a basic level, the energy males come to the lek with may depend on what they eat the day before. It turns out grouse foraging ecology is every bit as interesting as their on-lek behavior.
Sagebrush with signs of being browsed by sage-grouse
For several years we have collaborated with Prof Jen Forbey (Boise State), an expert in plant-herbivore interactions. The grouse rely exclusively on sagebrush (genus Artemesia) during the winter, and this plant is full of toxins. More than that, it can increase production of toxins when it gets nibbled on by grouse, and can even trigger nearby plants to become less palatable too. We are interested in questions such as whether some males choose better quality plants or search the landscape differently. Do the males with better foraging skills also show better responsiveness to social conditions on the lek, or do they just have more energy to burn and show fewer constraints on their display? Also, we are examining whether the quality of sage around different leks might influence the display behavior we see on those leks. Do larger leks become worse for birds that are stuck eating lower quality food?
Male showing Encounternet Tag
To begin investigating what male sage-grouse are doing for the bulk of the day when they are not on-lek displaying for females, we began putting advanced telemetry tags on some of our birds. These tags, made by Encounternet, have both a GPS tracker and an accelerometer (the same technology that your smartphone or fitness tracker has to sense movement and orientation). This will let us know not only where birds are going but what they are doing in certain locations. Our preliminary tests suggest we can typically tell the basic behaviors such as walking, foraging, and resting. We describe this technology as part of a larger review of the powerful new tools being used to help understand grouse ecology.
