Q: SSH disconnects when screen locked with vlock I'm using tmux + PuTTY to get all the UNIX goodness I need when using Windows. I have the following settings in my .tmux.conf:
set-option -g lock-command vlock
set-option -g lock-after-time 1800

As expected, after 30 minutes, my screen goes to this:
This TTY is now locked.
Please press [ENTER] to unlock.

And then it all goes wrong... after awhile PuTTY gives me the follow error: Server unexpectedly closed network connection

Any thoughts on why I'm getting disconnected from SSH?

A: As suggested in the link provided by @depquid, changing connection timeout settings in PuTTY did the trick.

*

*Go to the Connection section of PuTTY's configuration screen

*Check Enable TCP keepalives (SO_KEEPALIVE option)

*In the Sending of null packets to keep session active, change the value for Seconds between keepalives to something other than zero. I had originally tried 1800 (30 minutes), but that ended up being too high. I'm doing 60 seconds now which might be overkill, but it's done the trick for me.

The eagle 470 has been the staple towel for every detailing need for a long time now, soft, super plush, edgeless and unsurpassed durability. Now, the rag company released the improved version of the eagle, a worthy successor to the 470. Softer and plusher, the 600 screams quality and pampers your paint on a whole new level. A treat to use, the 600 glides across paintwork easily and eats product (polish, spray wax etc..) all day long. The new edge cutting technique they've employed really shows too, with soft and neat cuts on all sides of the towel. Now in dark grey, it's a damn good looking towel! Pick a few up, you will not be disappointed.

Obama aims to allay concerns about terror-fighting strategy
In this Dec. 6 photo, President Barack Obama addresses the nation from the Oval Office at the White House in Washington. (Saul Loeb/Pool Photo via AP)
WASHINGTON — Fears of terrorism are hanging over America's holiday season, so President Barack Obama is planning a series of events this week aimed at trying to allay concerns about his strategy for stopping the Islamic State group abroad and its sympathizers at home.
Obama's visits to the Pentagon and the National Counterterrorism Center are part of a push to further explain his terrorism-fighting strategy, White House officials said, after a prime-time Oval Office address last Sunday that critics said failed to do much to reassure the public. Another goal is to draw a contrast with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his inflammatory remarks about Muslims. The Obama administration has warned Trump's rhetoric emboldens extremists looking to pull the U.S. into a war with Islam.
"Terrorists like ISIL are trying to divide us along lines of religion and background," Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address, using an acronym for the extremist group. "That's how they stoke fear. That's how they recruit."
In the coming week, he said, "we'll move forward on all fronts."
The public relations campaign, one week before Christmas, comes as the public is jittery about the specter of terrorism after the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California this month and the Paris attacks a few weeks before. Seven in 10 Americans rated the risk of a terrorist attack in the U.S. as at least somewhat high, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll. That was a sharp increase from the 5 in 10 who said that in January.
U.S. officials have insisted there are no specific, credible threats to the United States. But the apparent lack of warning before San Bernardino has fueled concerns about whether the U.S. has a handle on potential attacks, especially during high-profile times such as the end-of-year holidays.
Obama, who is scheduled to leave Friday for his annual family vacation in Hawaii, had to interrupt that trip in 2009 when a would-be attacker tried to blow up a plane on Christmas Day.
Obama's schedule includes a Monday stop at the Pentagon for a rare meeting outside the White House by his National Security Council, followed by a public update from the president about the fight against IS. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama did not intend to announce any major changes in approach.
"If there's an opportunity for us to intensify efforts behind one aspect of our strategy, then that is something that he wants his team to be prepared to do," Earnest said.
On Thursday, at the National Counterterrorism Center, which analyzes intelligence at its facility in suburban Virginia, Obama plans to address reporters after a briefing by intelligence and security agencies on threat assessments. Obama receives a similar briefing each year before the holidays.
Concerns about extremism emanating from the Middle East have taken center stage in the presidential race. Obama has tried to use his bully pulpit as a counterpoint to GOP front-runner Trump and his widely condemned proposal to bar Muslims from entering the U.S., and to push back on other politicians insisting on halting resettlement of Syrian refugees in the U.S.
The White House scheduled a conference call Monday with religious leaders about ways to fight discrimination and promote religious tolerance.
Aiming to put a human face on the issue, Obama is to speak Tuesday at the National Archives Museum, where 31 immigrants from Iraq, Ethiopia, Uganda and 23 other nations will be sworn in as U.S. citizens. Obama planned to use that occasion to reframe the national conversation about immigrants around the country's founding values of tolerance and freedom.
Despite Obama's reassurances, Republicans say Obama has failed to grasp the severity of the risk.
Rep. Will Hurd, R-Texas, said the threat from IS and other terrorist groups presents "a clear and present danger to the United States."
"We can't contain this threat. We have to defeat it," Hurd said in the weekly GOP address. "To defeat ISIS, we have to be in this for the long haul."

A Day in the Life on the Farm: Woohoooooooo, It's Cupcake Day!!
I was invited to join in on Cupcake Day, hosted by Colleen Hill of The Redhead Baker. This is not a competition or a contest. There are no giveaways or sponsors. This is just a forum for a lot of bloggers to share a lot of cupcake recipes.
The only rule was that the recipe had to be new, as in not previously published on your blog. This was an easy rule for me because this, right here, is my FIRST OFFICIAL CUPCAKE POST. That's right....I have been blogging for over a year and have never made cupcakes during that time. Muffins, cakes, cookies, tortes, puddings, trifles....but not one cupcake in over a year!!! I don't know why. Kind of boggles the mind doesn't it.
So I found these cute little cupcake liners made by Wilton that has gingerbread men all over them and knew that I wanted to use them for my cupcakes. It would only make sense that if I am using gingerbread liners then I should make gingerbread cupcakes. So I did a handy, dandy little google search and found the perfect recipe on Creme de la Crumb. This was my first visit to this blog and if you are looking for desserts or cupcakes you should absolutely stop by and look at her recipe file. It is worthwhile to stop by there just to see the gorgeous photos that she has. The recipe I chose to share with you today are Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting that was adapted from a recipe by Martha Stewart.
I followed the recipe pretty much as written, taking my usual shortcuts, and (accidentally) omitting the cinnamon in the cake batter. We did not miss the cinnamon at all. It calls for a ton of butter and no leavening agent. This is not a misprint, there is no leavening agent in these cupcakes but they rose perfectly. The frosting is very sweet, even with the cinnamon to cut it. I only used 3 cups of powdered sugar instead of 4 as called for and thinned it with 3 t. of heavy cream. It was the perfect consistency for piping and I had plenty for all of the cupcakes with quite a bit leftover, because for some reason, even though the recipe said that it created 20, I only got 12.
I took these to my daughter's house along with dinner when we were going over to watch my grand-daughter so they could have some time off from house and baby duties. They were a big hit. I think they turned out just adorable!!
In the large bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together. Add the eggs, molasses and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix at the lowest speed until incorporated. Increase speed to medium and beat until thoroughly mixed. Place 1/4 c. batter into paper lined cupcake tins and bake in a preheated oven at 350* for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
Check out the rest of these wonderful Cupcake Recipes!!
Well my daughter did. Little Miss is only 3 months old so maybe next year.
awww, those liners are adorable! i love the idea of gingerbread cupcakes. yum!
Oooh, lovely flavors! Gingerbread goes ever so nicely with cream cheese icing. Your cupcakes are adorable, Wendy!

Oh, I love, love, love gingerbread! Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks Cam, hard to believe this was my first cupcake post.
Your (about) story is fascinating, Wendy...And your gingerbread cupcakes are perfect for the season =) I'm intrigued by the 3 cups instead of 4 cups still making its way into a nicely piped buttercream. Many thanks for the recipes.

Info about Egypt (History)
Egypt is a transcontinental country covering the northeastern corner of Africa and the southwestern corner of Asia with a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula. Egypt is a Mediterranean country bordering the Gaza Strip (Palestine) and Israel to the northeast, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south, and Libya to the west. Jordan is across the Gulf of Aqaba, Saudi Arabia is across the Red Sea, and Greece, Turkey and Cyprus are across the Mediterranean. However, none has a land border with Egypt.
Egypt has one of the longest histories of any country, with a legacy along the Nile Delta dating back to the 6th-4th millennia BC. Considered the cradle of civilization, Ancient Egypt witnessed one of the earliest developments in writing, agriculture, urbanization, organized religion, and central government. Iconic monuments such as the Necropolis of Giza and its Great Sphinx and the ruins of Memphis, Thebes, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings reflect this heritage and remain the focus of scholars and the public alike. Egypt's long and rich cultural heritage is an integral part of its national identity, which reflects its unique transcontinental position, which is at the same time the Mediterranean, the Middle East and North Africa. Egypt was an early and essential center of Christianity but was islamized mainly in the seventh century and remains a predominantly Muslim country, albeit with a sizable Christian minority.
Modern Egypt dates back to 1922 when it gained independence from the British Empire as a monarchy. After the 1952 revolution, Egypt declared itself a republic, and in 1958 it united with Syria to form the United Arab Republic, which disintegrated in 1961. During the second half of the 20th century, Egypt experienced social and religious strife and political instability, fighting several armed conflicts with Israel in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973 and the regular occupation of the Gaza Strip until 1967. In 1978, Egypt signed the Camp David Accords, officially withdrawing from the Gaza Strip and recognizing Israel. The country faces challenges ranging from political turmoil, including the recent 2011 revolution and its aftermath, to terrorism and economic underdevelopment. Egypt's current government, a semi-presidential republic led by Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, has been characterized by several observers as authoritarian or heading an authoritarian regime responsible for maintaining the country's problematic human rights record.
Islam is the official religion of Egypt and Arabic is its official language. With over 100 million inhabitants, Egypt is the most populous country in North Africa, the Middle East and the Arab world, the third most populous in Africa (after Nigeria and Ethiopia) and the thirteenth most populous in the world. The vast majority of its inhabitants live on the banks of the Nile River, in an area of about 40,000 square kilometers (15,000 square miles), which is the only arable land. Large areas of the Sahara Desert, which make up most of Egypt's territory, are sparsely populated. About half of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, most of whom reside in the densely populated centers of Greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta.
Egypt is a developing country, ranking 116th in the Human Development Index. Politically, however, it is considered a regional power in North Africa, the Middle East and the Muslim world, and a middle power across the globe. Egypt has a diversified economy that is the second largest economy in Africa, the 33rd largest economy in terms of nominal GDP and the 20th largest in the world in terms of PPP. Egypt is a founding member of the United Nations, the Non-Aligned Movement, the League of Arab States, the African Union, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the World Youth Forum.

Targetting the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central government of "politicising" actions of defence forces of the country, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday claimed that during the time that Congress-led governments were in power at Centre, 15 surgical strikes had taken place but the then dispensation never talked about it.
Gehlot said former prime ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi had made huge contributions for the nation, but the Modi government has never highlighted the same and instead defamed the Gandhi family.
"The countrymen are innocent. They think that Prime Minister Narendra Modi got the surgical strikes done, but 15 surgical strikes have taken place earlier. Under the Congress rule, surgical strikes took place 15 times, but it was never said that such action has taken place," Gehlot told reporters in Ajmer.
He said it was not a standard thing (on part of the government) to highlight such developments.
"Modi became the prime minister and satellites were launched by ISRO, but it was presented as if the satellites were launched only in his rule. It took years for former prime minister Indira Gandhi to make ISRO and hundreds of satellites were launched," the Congress leader said.
The chief minister said Modi has also not acknowledged the fact that Indira Gandhi created the nation of Bangladesh by dividing Pakistan and without letting Khalistan take shape.
"Jawaharlal Nehru was in jail for 12 years for independence. But what are they (BJP) circulating about him on social media? BJP and RSS are conspiring and spending crores of rupees to run a campaign to defame the Congress and its legacy," he alleged.
Taking a dig at Modi, Gehlot said the prime minister should have been an actor.
"He should have become a Bollywood actor. Movies have actors, actresses, villain...they talk about love and affection and the audiences are amused, but movies have no reality and the love and affection shown there is not true," he said.
"He (Modi) would have been successful in the country and abroad had he come in this role because as a prime minister, I do not consider him successful...let the world say anything," the chief minister remarked.
Gehlot was in Ajmer to offer a 'chadar' (sacred cloth) on behalf of Congress president Rahul Gandhi at the shrine of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti in Ajmer.
He said the prime minister has been exposed among the public for not fulfilling the promises he made during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
"No black money was brought back. He has forgotten that he had promised jobs to 2 crore people. Inflation is skyrocketing, petrol and diesel prices are now almost equal. 'Make in India' is only on papers. People see no smart city. The entire government turned out to be unsuccessful and useless," he said.
The senior Congress leader also accused the BJP of doing politics in the name of religion and said that only issue-based politics should be done in elections.

The location was great. Not too far away from places but far enough away from people. The ocean view was wonderful and we enjoyed watching the sunsets nightly.
Beautiful, breathtaking and perfect location! So much more than what we expected!
First off, Joe and Marilyn are such wonderful people and made this whole process so easy and welcoming. Joe sent a welcome packet full of helpful information, places to see and do, beaches to try out, dining, etc. Joe gives so many helpful tips to make the trip easier. He is a life saver and told us to hit up the Costco right by the airport before going to the condo. We even picked up some souvenirs there too! Joe had a few of his favorites he provided information about and we booked in advance to go to Warren and Annebell's magic show and it was awesome! I am so glad we went and watched this show in Maui! It's a must see! Thank you Joe for all the helpful information!
The condo itself is beautiful and amazing! So much more than what we had anticipated! The grounds are picturesque and the views are breathtaking. We saw turtles everyday, snorkeled and saw exotic fish and played at the beach by the condo everyday! We saw the most beautiful perfect rainbow one morning drinking coffee on the lanai, saw a group of dolphins go by. We loved sitting on the lanai in the mornings and at night. Watching all the birds and listening to the ocean. It never got old! The pool is awesome and we swam in it everyday. We checked out a top rated beach nearby which of course was beautiful and nice but to be honest we liked the beach at the condo so much more and didn't check out any other beaches. We enjoyed the little hike over to the beach everyday and would check out the turtles a long the way and the tide pools.
Joe has everything you need at the condo. The beds are so comfy and all the decor and finishings are so neat! We would love to go back to Maui someday and we are definitely going to stay at Joe and Marilyn's condo! We had an amazing experience in Maui thank you Joe and Marilyn for sharing your amazing property!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful condo! Owners have thought of everything and it was much appreciated! Scores of turtles, whales in the distance, sea urchins and crabs in the tidal pools.... even a snoozing/sunbathing turtle on the little beach! Walked to the farmers' market, enjoyed restaurants recommended, and the sights and sun of Maui! Sunsets to die for from the condo lanai and surf sounds in the quiet of the night! With suggestions from Joe, no need to run the air conditioning. Plenty of room for the four of us with everything provided! Thank you so much for letting us share your property! Mahalo!
This was our third trip to Joe and Marilyn's lovely condo and I shared with them it is starting to feel like our home away from home.
The attention to detail, decor and comfort are top notch. There's snorkel gear, beach chairs, coolers and all the amenities to make your stay a great one. I love the welcome packet that they have lovingly put together with maps and details about places to eat, best burgers, fine dining, snorkel, golf, luau you name it!
We are looking forward to our 4th trip back next year.
This unit had everything you would need. It was spacious, and stocked with all your needs. Beautiful ocean view, pool was nice and people were friendly.

There is a growing trend to incorporate predictive analytics in various fields. While industry is getting ready to collect relevant data to support the implementation of predictive maintenance as part of predictive analytics, it is of importance to know the contribution of predictive analytics beyond predictive maintenance. The talk concentrates on the role of predictive analytics in Industry, and the impact on business over and above predictive maintenance. Also, the mathematical and technical advancements required in the space of Predictive analytics.
AI, Data, Predictive Analytics… just some of the Buzzwords being bandied about these days. We are all either trying to sort out how it applies to us, or just jumping into the deep end of the pool. Join me for a quick chat as I talk about three simple concepts to help contextualize and shape how you can approach the big bad world of Predictive Data. And we'll play some Bingo too.
Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to meet and mentor many data scientists. Along the way, I've learned a few things, like the difference between a good and a great data scientist, some data science personas to strive for and those to avoid, and what companies are starting to do to hire the best talent. During this session, I'll be sharing stories of my experiences that have led to some surprising findings.
Machine learning is revolutionizing work for most industries today, including breakthrough customer service innovations in areas like call center servicing. In this talk, Yi-Chen will share how Capital One has leveraged machine learning and data analytics to simplify and enhance the customer experience in this capacity. The session will cover learnings and best practices around predictive models including forming a better understanding of the customer and their needs and intents.
This session will center around how to deal with bad data, how to plan and identify it, and how to maintain end-user trust despite imperfect systems with multiple points of failure.
Social network analysis is a less frequently used tool in the advanced analytics toolkit. Understanding relationships between physicians and facilities offers insights about patient behavior and medical costs that aren't as easily gained through other analytical means, especially when combined with predictive modeling and machine learning. We'll also explore some interesting visualizations that can help tremendously with stakeholder buy-in.
We data professionals are center stage of a massive and accelerating transformation in the way we work. Emerging technologies and automation enabled by Big Data are simultaneously empowering human capabilities and replacing human tasks and jobs. New business models are up-ending old ones, and the competition for talent is fierce and growing. This creates huge implications for our society, economy, government, corporations and the individual, at a time when leaders are already grappling with unprecedented disruption. Is your Board of Directors and senior leadership ready for a future we can't yet define? Do they understand the potential impact of emerging technologies and Big Data on work, the workforce and the workplace? In this talk we'll discuss how you can help discuss this and prepare your senior leadership for a world in flux.
Personalized medicine is the promise that by individualizing treatment to the patient we can improve outcomes. Machine learning enables us to make data informed decisions about which treatments will work best for which patients. In this talk, Sam Tideman presents a case study from Northshore Univeristy Healthsystem that combines prescriptive modeling, machine learning, personalized medicine, and a learning health system to treat common neurological disorders. This offers a blueprint that can be applied across healthcare and even across industries.
As price matching and commodity like pricing have become the norm in retail, the zero moment of truth is typically too late to be targeting consumers. The proliferation of social media and consumer willingness to express need before they search represents a big opportunity for retailers to reach people, not personas, which leads to better and more consistent conversion into customers.
Research in Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning has been evolving rapidly over the past 5-10 years. This has led to exciting developments in Word Embeddings, Text Generation, Translation and Summarization. This session will take the audience through a crash course in technical concepts including neural networks, deep learning, word2vec, RNNs, LSTMs and seq2seq.
We can all agree that, however important it is, the concept of Data Science and how it fits into an organization is one of the most misunderstood and one of the biggest challenges of business analytics today. We will discuss insights that will benefit both students and managers in how best to build and lead an effective analytics team. Key topics will include skills and tools that will give students and recent graduates an advantage in today's analytics climate, how to productionalize data science work, effective ways of team working, and strategies for leading a team of data scientists.
Based on a survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, the Illinois School Board of Education (ISBE) recognized that educators in the state could benefit from an Early Warning System that identifies students at risk of missing key educational milestones. ISBE and the DoIT State Data Practice have collaborated on a study that identifies major indicators based on performance data and attending school's demographics. A systematic stepwise correlation study and machine learning were employed to score students based on their middle and early high school academic performance to determine probabilistic drop out tendencies. These measures could provide an alert for educators and schools.
In this talk, I will overview recent advances happening in machine learning (ML) field, majorly on deep learning (DL). I will later cover the applications and the latest development of AI, machine learning and deep learning technologies at Motorola, including 4 major areas: AR/VR, embedded ML/DL for device AI, smart IoT and intelligent custom relation management (CRM). In detail, I will focus on our recent success in light weight DNNs for computer vision and speech recognition, products development in AR/VR and IoT, as well as examples showing how we have been addressing Intelligent CRM.
The need for large-scale data analytics has become crucial for organizations to tackle head on. With the multitude of information in today's Digital Age, the need to implement effective strategies leveraging Business Intelligence to Predictive Analytics has become more crucial than ever before. Join a panel of subject matter specialists to learn about today's current trends & strategies in addressing today's data overload.

How Hedging Made US-China Tensions Worse: Order, Strategic Competition, and Aggregated Security Dilemmas in Asia and the Pacific
Ja Ian Chong, Associate Professor of Political Science, National University of Singapore
States in Asia and the Pacific have been talking about "hedging" and "not choosing sides" between the United States and China since the 1990s. Their aim was to moderate potential tensions between Washington and Beijing and promote cooperation, but this has not appeared to work. Instead, these disparate efforts to find a middle way between the two major powers resulted in greater levels of uncertain that have exacerbated security dilemma dynamics between the United States and China and created greater incentives for rivalry rather than cooperation.
Chong Ja Ian is an Associate Professor of political science at the National University of Singapore. He received his PhD from Princeton University in 2008 and previously taught at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. His research covers the intersection of international and domestic politics, with a focus on the externalities of major power competition, nationalism, regional order and security, contentious politics, and state formation. He works on US-China relations, security and order in Northeast and Southeast Asia, cross-strait relations, and Taiwan politics. Chong is author of "External Intervention and the Politics of State Formation: China, Indonesia, Thailand, 1893-1952" (Cambridge, 2012), a recipient of the 2013 International Security Studies Section Book Award from the International Studies Association. His publications appear in the China Quarterly, European Journal of International Relations, International Security, Security Studies, and other journals. At the Harvard-Yenching Institute, Chong will examine how non-leading state behavior collectively intensifies major power rivalries, paying particular attention to the US-China relationship. He has concurrent projects investigating how states react to sanctions on third parties by trade partners and the characteristics of foreign influence operations.
Overreach and Overreaction: The Crisis in U.S.-China Relations | December 3, 2019
Susan Shirk, Chair, 21st Century China Center, University of California, San Diego
Relations between the United States and China today have become more competitive and tense than they have been during the past forty years since the 1979 normalization of diplomatic relations. The deterioration of relations has not been caused by a single incident but is systemic and broad. China's international and domestic overreaching has provoked a widespread backlash not just in the United States, but in many other advanced economies as well. Within the United States, there is talk about protecting ourselves from the perceived China threat by decoupling our intertwined economies, and Chinese and Chinese-Americans are starting to come under suspicion. How can the two countries stabilize relations and reverse this downward spiral?
Susan Shirk is the Chair of the 21st Century China Center and Research Professor at the School of Global Policy and Strategy at the University of California - San Diego. She is also director emeritus of the University of California's Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC). Susan Shirk first visited China in 1971 and has been teaching, researching and engaging China diplomatically ever since.
Periphery, Locality, and Status in Writings from Sixteenth-Century Dali, Yunnan | November 26, 2019
Eloise Wright, LRCCS Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Michigan
From 1253, when Mongol armies invaded the independent Dali Kingdom in the southeastern foothills of the Himalayas, its capital, Dali, was transformed into a remote periphery of Yuan and then Ming empires. By the sixteenth century, Dali's gentry families, both indigenous and migrant, were increasingly educating their sons in the classical tradition, to enroll in the civil service examinations and take positions as Ming officials. How did their experiences transform the ways that Dali's literati wrote about their hometown, about its people, and about themselves?
The Emperor Has No Voice: Imperial Utterance in Excavated Han Documents | November 19, 2019
Charles Sanft, Associate Professor and Associate Head, Department of History, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
The emperor was at the center of Chinese political theory throughout the imperial period. Sometimes this theoretical position found expression in an announcement to the realm. The First Emperor, for example, made his power known in 221 BCE by means of a widely-distributed inscription in his own voice. My examination of excavated documents the Han central government promulgated in its northwestern border region, however, suggests that the emperors' theoretical potency was not matched by conspicuous utterance, at least not in those contexts. What emerges instead is taciturnity, constraint, silence. In this presentation, I consider example documents and discuss what the imperial voice in these texts tells us about the nature of rule and rulership in the Han dynasty.
Liu Liangmo (刘良模1909-1988) —Transpacific Mass Singing, Journalism, and Christian Activism | November 12, 2019
Yunxiang Gao, Associate Professor of History, Ryerson University
Professor Gao's talk lifts out of the dustbin of history the life and career of Liu Liangmo, a talented musician, prolific journalist, and Christian activist. Liu agilely navigated slippery trans-Pacific political and ideological landscapes throughout the World War II and Cold War. After "coaxing the Chinese (civilians and soldiers) into mass signing" and helping to invent the new genre "songs of resistance" to promote national morale and unified resistance against Japan, Liu sojourned to the United States. There, despite close surveillance by the FBI, he formed an unusual alliance with African Americans by contributing a weekly column to the biggest black newspaper "Pittsburgh Courier" and cooperating with Paul Robeson, the world famous singer and actor, in popularizing Chinese songs of resistance. Robeson and Liu brought the future national anthem of the People's Republic of China (PRC) into global circulation. Meanwhile, Liu traveled more than 100,000 miles to speak and sing about China to grassroots white Americans on behalf of the United China Relief. Later, as a top official representing Protestant denominations in the PRC, Liu helped to bring Christianity into line with the new regime, served China as its authoritative interpreter of the United States, and facilitated the alliance between the PRC and such African American cultural giants as W.E.B Du Bois, Shirley Graham Du Bois, and Paul Robeson.
China's War on Smuggling: Law, Economic Life, and the Making of the Modern State | October 22, 2019
Philip Thai, Associate Professor of History, Northeastern University
Coastal smuggling has been a thorny problem for successive governments in modern China. But, while smuggling might have operated on the margins of the law, it was far from marginal in driving important historical changes. Introducing his new book, Philip Thai explores how campaigns against smuggling transformed everyday economic life and amplified state power, thereby offering new insights into modern Chinese social, legal, and economic history.
The Ambitious and Anxious: Chinese Undergraduates in the US |October 8, 2019
Yingyi Ma, Associate Professor of Sociology, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University
Over the past decade, a wave of Chinese international undergraduate students―mostly self-funded―has swept across American higher education. This privileged yet diverse group of young people from a changing China must navigate the complications and confusions of their formative years while bridging the two most powerful countries in the world. How do these students come to study in the United States? What does this experience mean to them? This talk is based on a forthcoming book to be released by the Columbia University Press in January 2020.

This article explores house extension ideas for London properties. The chosen approach will very much depend on your aspirations, your style and the design of the existing house. Many of the options are explored below, with illustrated examples from Architecture for London's house extension projects.
As a first step, it is a good idea to create your own mood board of house extension ideas using sites like Pinterest and Houzz. This can help to define your tastes and convey these to your architect. A note of caution though, don't try to cram every idea that you like into your project.
Often the best designed architectural spaces are simple in concept and their beauty comes from exploring one idea very well.
Modern house extensions usually feature large areas of uninterrupted glass. They often take a more minimal approach to decoration and detailing. They tend to rely on the beauty of craftsmanship and materials rather than using decoration in the traditional sense. The kitchen will often be clean-lined and may feature smooth surfaces and recessed handles to help free the space of visual clutter.
Traditional house extensions typically feature glazed areas that are divided into smaller panes of glass, perhaps with crittal style windows or timber mullions. Decoration in the form of panelling, skirtings and architraves may complete the space internally. The kitchen may be detailed with recessed door panels and traditional handles in a 'shaker' style.
This decision will depend on the tastes of the client and the architect's approach.
An extension may use external materials that are in-keeping and therefore relate to the house, yet still take a modern approach to design.
Whilst some local planning authorities prefer an extension to be in keeping with the existing building, planning policy now generally recommends that the house and the new extension are differentiated.
In keeping: In London, this typically means choosing from a palette of brick, render, stucco, slate and painted timber.
Contrasting: A contrasting design approach offers more opportunity for unusual materials for the exterior of extension. In London, contrasting materials are generally anything other than those listed above. This list is only limited by your imagination, for example, corten, concrete, thatch, rammed earth, zinc, copper or unpainted timber.
Georgian houses in London are likely to be listed and are often part of a conservation area. This will affect the options available.
Your architect will have an in-depth understanding of the local authority planning requirements for heritage properties and will be able to help you make the most of its potential.
Georgian houses typically feature living spaces over the lower ground and raised ground floor. It is therefore key to decide the level at which the kitchen will be located.
Whilst the lower ground floor usually offers a direct connection to the garden, the better ceiling heights and decorative features will be on the upper ground floor.
Victorian houses often feature an original rear extension that would have housed service areas. These are typically not full width and one or more storeys less than the main house.
Victorian houses tend to have their main living spaces over the ground floor only, so the kitchen is typically proposed in a rear extension at this level to allow a direct connection to the garden.
A side return extension is a way of extending the house to make better use of the often redundant side area.
Glass is a very useful tool when extending your house. As well as ensuring the new rooms are filled with light, it can help you maintain or improve light levels in the existing building.
It is important that the use of glass is carefully considered to avoid running into issues with overheating in summer and loss of heat in winter. Your architect or environmental consultant will be able to help you with this.
Refurbishing your house also allows you to upgrade its environmental credentials. Adding insulation, double-glazing and using more efficient heating systems will all make your carbon footprint smaller.
Sustainability improvements will also reduce the associated cost of running your house.
Your new house extension may offer improved views and access to the garden, so good landscape design is key to a successful project.
Architecture for London frequently designs garden landscapes to link with the new extensions, aiming to tie the two spaces together. This can be achieved with materials and levels continuing inside and out.
At Highbury, north London, outside storage cupboards were created that align with the kitchen cupboards inside for a seamless transition. These were clad in stone and a bespoke timber fence created to continue the clean minimal lines from the interior to the garden.
There are many affordable house extension ideas. The simplest option might be to reconfigure the existing house, removing internal walls to create larger spaces and therefore possibly minimising the size of the extension required.
If just reconfiguring your property isn't going to be enough, it's worth considering whether you can achieve your goals while keeping within the permitted development rights of your property. You will not only save money on planning fees but could also save 6 weeks on your programme and associated consultants' fees.
Keeping the overall form of the building simple, with a rectangular footprint and simple pitched roof can sometimes help to reduce costs.
Materials: can cost-effective materials be used in an innovative way?
Avoid rogue builders: you can get advice from friends, neighbours and your consultant team for reliable, good value contractors.
Keep your neighbours on side by updating them on the project progress and allaying their concerns as soon as possible. You may also be able to save money on Party Wall Awards if your neighbour is willing to consent to your extension.
An architect and cost consultant will help to manage the budget.
Architecture for London has delivered projects across a wide spectrum of costs, from £1,100/sqm to £4,000/sqm.
Please visit the Architecture for London projects page to see more London house extension ideas, or contact us to discuss your project.

James Strang
https://mittenhistory.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/strang2.jpg?w=450&h=788
On July 8, 1850, James Strang, leader of the break off group known as the Strangites, was crowned king of his group, complete with crown and robes. Where did the crown and robes come from?
a. From an old theatrical props trunk
b. On loan from the King of England
c. On loan from King Follet's family
d. On loan from a local museum
C Through musical presentations
Another finding method dating from the earliest days of missionary work in Italy centered on musical presentations, which were used to improve public perceptions about the Church and to create an opening for religious dialogue. One of the earliest examples of this approach was the appearance on national TV of 107 missionaries who had gathered for a mission conference in Florence on December 23-25, 1966. They spent Christmas Eve singing carols in the city center "with the intent . . . to spread in song the Christmas spirit through a city which had recently been ravaged by floods." The group assembled at the main cathedral, the Duomo, and began singing Christmas carols and Mormon songs in English and Italian. Their singing attracted the attention of a BBC television crew in Florence to cover the Pope's visit later that evening. The BBC director requested that the group sing at Piazza Santa Croce to provide background music for the Pope's appearance at 9:00 P.M. It turned out that the Pope was an hour late. The missionaries seized this opportunity and sang for the large throngs who paid rapt attention while the TV crew trained their lights on the Mormon choir and filmed the impromptu concert, including a rendition of "Silent Night" in Italian. Several missionaries were interviewed by TV reporters in Italian about their activities in Italy. According to two elders, "It was a huge success. We succeeded in getting the Italians near us to sing along." The next day, images of the missionaries singing were broadcast over national television as were some of the interview segments. This gave "an unexpected boost" to spreading the gospel in Italy. With a touch of missionary hyperbole, reflecting the enthusiasm engendered by a sudden burst of public exposure after laboring in virtual anonymity, President Duns commented: "Florence will never be the same after tonight."

You're probably right. One of my colleagues from Belgium says we should leave the nihilism for academic consideration and emphasize the more positive ideas.
Great series of posts. I started reading this blog with your post on nihilism and I love how you're starting with Schopenhauer. I think he was truly an insightful philosopher.
I don't know how much I agree with your last comment though. I feel like nihilism is in the air of our times. It's no longer just an academic consideration. Think about all the zombie movies and inspirational stories about people's quest for meaning. I know Nietzsche predicted that this was gonna be the problem we'd have to wrestle with in the 20th century. I feel that it's positive if everyone is working with this though. I know Nietzsche thought that we can push through by re-evaluating our values.
I'm not so sure. From my perspective, the most straightforward interpretation of quantum indeterminacy is branching universes. Everything that CAN happen, DOES happen, along divergent timelines.
Since consciousness is the perception of continuity, and there is always SOME way to remain conscious a moment longer, then from the internal perspective we are each immortal. This doesn't guarantee a lack of suffering, but it does imply the futility of suicide. Indeed, attempting suicide just INCREASES the chances of future suffering, since there are many more ways to partially annihilate the brain than avoid any lasting damage from a failed attempt.
The best option we have, in my view, is to place our brains in cryogenic storage when the time is right, and see if we awake in cybernetic utopia.
Again, no guarantees, since anything that CAN happen DOES happen.
I agree about cryonics. It is our best chance.
Most certainly, which is why I suggested after John's initial post for this arc that he look into the Adult Swim show "Rick and Morty". Its protagonists operate in a universe where everything that can happen will happen, and therefore all intentions are futile, and life is meaningless. It's great fun!
Schopenhauer must have been bemused by wizened but happy old people. And to think of such geriatric folk as both "self-actualized" (in the Maslow sense if that's even possible) and nontheist would perhaps puzzle him even more?
I disagree. I believe there is a meaning to life. Just because you don't know the answer to a big question mark floating around inside our minds and out of it does not mean there is not an answer. Arthur Schopenhauer would philosophize and devoted his life to share his nihilistic ideas which is a paradox in stating that life has no meaning.
I appreciate your comments Natalie. Thanks.
Life, for me, is an experience without an explanation.
I give my life meaning by creating a myth.
DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS YOURSELF!!!
I chosed not to have children and certainly I wouldn't want to live every possible human lives… but the sad fact is that we have no control over reality so that our decisions are more or less irrelevant. Whatever the reason that lead to this existence, we have no clue to determine if it's gonna come again and again. The sheer size of the universe is also testimony to the fact that life might exist somewhere else… and if that multiverse thing is true, if a large quantity of "possibles" actually do exist, then… we are in Hell, somehow…. Only a God can save us, said Heidegger.
It may be correct that "we have no control over reality" but that does NOT imply "that our decisions are more or less irrelevant" because we still have some INFLUENCE as to the course reality takes. This may be a small consolation, but it is one nonetheless. And it can give us hope for the future.
I am 94 and have been reading Schopenhauer for 70 years since I first encountered him in a book by Copleston. His philosophy strikes home as the unwelcome truth about human existence.
If we are, as the scientists tell us, mere vehicles and temporary containers of DNA molecules. rather than Kantian ends in ourselves, it is no wonder that the vehicles can never be happy.
Schopenhauer admired Leopardi and Hume as kindred spirits, and his beautiful way with words is a constant pleasure in my old age.

As the name suggests, cable internet works by using the same analog cables traditionally used to deliver cable television. These copper coaxial cables travel from your home to the a neighborhood node, and then to your service provider. Cable internet has a wider bandwidth than DSL, and unlike fiber, it's already installed in most homes, which makes cable service convenient for getting high-speed internet with minimal installation. And if you're interested in getting cable TV as well, bundling cable services can often save you money over getting the services separately.

The VPN services recommended and linked to are not intended to be used as a means of copyright circumvention. Please refer to the Terms of Service for the relevant VPN provider or streaming website.
These do require additional hardware, running extra cables from your TV, and waiting at least a day to watch the newest episodes of cable network shows. And if you're hoping to sever all ties with your cable provider, that's not going to be an option in many regional markets, as you'll still need them for the high-speed Internet service that makes this all work. But the cost savings of dropping the TV package can be substantial, and there have never been as many good choices available as there are today in both hardware and content. Here's what you'll need.
Shudder is geared for horror fans, and it carries more than just movies. There are classic movies that you'll recognize (Reanimator) and (Hellraiser). There's campy horror, and foreign horror. There are a number of series from overseas. One of the better ones, "Beyond The Walls", is a three-part mini-series that starts when she inherits a house across the street from her apartment. It was willed to her by an elderly man she never met. There are also longer series like Jordskott and sci-fi based Missions.
My take is that they are focused on the areas that get NO cable service because they know it's a slam dunk so they charge rates that are more expensive for what they offer because they can. It's like this, if they want my business, they have to have have the same TV channels for less and they are so far from it. And if they do undercut any pricing, it's marginal because they are trying to maximize their profits exponentially. Take a look at the free trials they all offer. They're almost all the same 1 week or maybe 5 days and then the monthly rate kicks in. What a joke. They're a bunch of greedy bastards.
One of the toughest things for cord-cutters to give up is sports content, since cable and satellite TV give access not only to home games, but also to matches from all around the world. An HD antenna will keep you covered for local games. Otherwise, you have two options: a cable-replacement service, or a streaming sports service. Every major sports organization offers some kind of streaming package, from MLB.TV to NFL Live to NBA League Pass. These services are expensive compared to streaming subscriptions, and can cost between $100 and $200 per year.
This technology eliminates some of the problems associated with cable TV. For example, because satellite TV doesn't depend on physical cable connections, satellite service is available to a much wider range of customers. This means that satellite TV is available in most parts of the US, basically to anyone with a satellite dish, so some of the people in remote areas who can't get cable TV can get satellite TV without issue.
Req. compatible device and Fios TV. Content restrictions may apply. Out-of-Home Use: Fios Multi-Room DVR Enhanced or Premium Service required to stream DVR recordings. Four DVR same-recording stream at a time. Verizon Wireless Data-Free Streaming: Req. postpay 4G LTE service. Non-streaming activity (e.g., app downloads, starting/restarting the app, going off airplane mode and transitioning from Wi-Fi to 4G LTE) will incur data charges (approx. 1-5 MB per instance). For Verizon Unlimited customers, app data usage will be counted, not billed.
NoCable, which acts as an information clearinghouse for non-cable solutions to TV, has slightly more specific information. It ranked Florida the No. 2 state for cutting the cord in 2017 behind California, though it did not have specific numbers of cord cutters. Florida also made some of the highest number of inquiries about what channels are available with an antenna.
Different Internet Service Providers, known as I.S.P.s, have different tiers. The various streaming services make different recommendations — typically available on their individual sites — as to the minimum requirements that allow their content to look sharp and run smoothly on different devices. Averaging their recommendations out, you'll probably want to make sure that you have a minimum 4 Mb/s (that's megabyte per second) connection, which, be warned, isn't available in some of the more rural areas of the United States.
There isn't a single offering out there that makes any sense for most family homes. None. 5 TVs can easily get the complete Comcast lineup of TV stations, including all of their premium channels, plus anywhere DVR hardware to boot. Additionally, if the cost was itemized apart from the Comcast Voice, and GB internet they give me, I am paying WAY, WAY less than any streaming service out there. That just plain sucks because not one other provider is available where I am, so the competition is non-existent. I, for one, think Comcast is over-priced. But, based on what I would have to pay to get what I want in a cord cutting option, I would be even worst off. These alternatives are only beneficial for single TV homes.

Sony's cable-replacement service began life as a PlayStation exclusive, but now you can find PlayStation Vue just about anywhere. Viewers can choose from among four packages, ranging in price from $45 per month to $80 per month (although these prices can vary by location). Each plan will land you staples such as Cartoon Network, CNN, Discovery, Disney Channel, FX, Syfy, TBS and a variety of broadcast networks, depending on where you live. You can also record hundreds of programs and hang onto them for 28 days at a time. What really puts PS Vue at the top of the list is the service's interface, which is sleek, fast and instantly comprehensible. The service's DVR feature is also simple and robust.
None of the Internet service providers available in Dallas, TX can beat Frontier in terms of ratings.Finding the best Internet service provider in Texas starts with comparing the download speeds of each company to the state average of 33 Mbps. Keep in mind, however, that Internet providers' speeds may vary depending on where you live, so you should narrow down your choices according to which providers offer the fastest connections in Dallas, TX. CableTV.com includes download speeds in its rating system, which makes it easier for you to select a reliable Internet provider in your area.
Like PlayStation Vue, AT&T's DirecTV Now has several tiers, starting with $35 a month, going to $50 for 80+ channels, $60 for 100+, and $70 for 120+. That does include Viacom stations and all the networks except CBS; the priciest plan offers up multiple Starz-related channels; HBO and Cinemax are here but for $5 per month extra each; Showtime is $8 per month extra.
Another category of cord-cutters was labeled by Nielsen in March 2013 as "Zero TV". In 2007, two million households had neither subscribed to a pay television service or received television programming via antenna. By 2013, this number had increased to five million. Most people in this category were younger and did not have children in the household. People could still view shows via online streaming through services such as Netflix.[16] At the 2013 National Association of Broadcasters Show, the solution for broadcasters was stated to be mobile television.[15] A 2013 Leichtman survey showed that the 13 largest MVPD companies, covering 94 percent of the country, experienced their first year-to-year subscriber losses. 80,000 subscribers dropped their service in the year ending March 31, 2013. 1.5 million cable customers dropped their service, with Time Warner Cable losing 553,000 and Comcast losing 359,000 subscribers. AT&T and Verizon added 1.32 million subscribers; DirecTV and Dish added 160,000 subscribers, compared to 439,000 the previous year. Before 2013, only quarter-to-quarter losses had been recorded industrywide. Internet video and switching to receiving television programming by antenna were reasons. Bruce Leichtman described the subscription television industry as "saturated".[17] A TDG study showed nearly 101 million U.S. households subscribed to television at the industry's peak in 2011, but the number would fall below 95 million in 2017.[18] In 2013, the number of total subscribers to pay TV services fell by a quarter of a million. This was the first decline from one year to the next.[19]
Before canceling your cable or satellite service, make sure your planned cord-cutting options will work for you. For the antenna option to work well, you need to be in a location where it is easy to receive over-the-air TV broadcast signals. A good idea is to connect an antenna to your TV and see what local channels you can receive. Also, check your smart TV, Blu-ray Disc player, or media streamer to see if they offer the streaming channels and services you desire.
