Wealth & Poverty Review The Fastest Learning Curve in History
Human genome sequencing has become over a million times more abundant since 2003. Now the price may drop another 90 percent from $1,000 to $100.
Originally published at Substack
In 1990 a goal was set to map the entire three-billion-letter human genome. The U.S. government spent $3.8 billion to fund the project in general with a fraction going towards the human genome sequencing. Craig Venter helped move things along and the project came in three years early in 2003. The completion coincided with the 50th anniversary of Watson and Crick's description of the fundamental structure of DNA.
As Katie Jennings reports in her article in Forbes:
"The first genome cost us about a billion dollars," says Dr. Eric Green, who worked on the project since its inception and has been the director of the National Human Genome Research Institute for more than a decade. "Now when we sequence a person's genome, it's less than $1000, so that's a million-fold reduction."
Note that blue-collar worker hourly compensation (wages and benefits) increased by 51 percent from 2003 to 2020, from $21.54 to $32.54. It took 46,425,255 hours to earn the money to buy your DNA sequence in 2003 and only 30.73 hours in 2020. The "time price" dropped by 99.99993 percent. For the same time required to earn the money to buy one sequence in 2003 you get over 1.5 million sequences today. That would be over a 150 million percent increase in DNA sequencing abundance.
Now a group of Chinese entrepreneurs at BGI hope to get the price down to $100. BGI's new system will employ a robotic arm and a roomful of chemical baths and imaging machines.
Rade Drmanac, chief scientific officer of Complete Genomics, a division of BGI, told MIT Tech Review that at $100 it could soon be common to sequence the DNA of every child at birth.
National Human Genome Research Institute tracks costs associated with DNA sequencing and produced this chart to illustrate the dramatic decline in costs. Note the logarithmic scale on the vertical axis:
Exponential innovation occasionally experiences a double exponent or punctuation as it did in January of 2008 when work transitioned from Sanger-based (dideoxy chain termination sequencing) to 'second generation' (or 'next-generation') DNA sequencing technologies.
Going from a cost of one billion to one hundred over 20 years would put the compound monthly rate of decrease at 6.5 percent a month. (Adjusting for the time price would be 7.13 percent). Moore's law indicates that prices decline 2.85 percent a month. The DNA cost per genome learning curve is perhaps the fastest declining price in history.
Long live learning curves. The knowledge they create is our true wealth.

Last week, our summer camp series took an inside look at the Pardot product. Today, we're changing directions once again to learn a little bit more about Pardot's Support Team: their team culture, the key to successful customer support, and the traits needed to succeed. Rachel Newcity, Technical Support Manager and self-proclaimed guacamole connoisseur, joins us today to tell us more about how her team ensures that the post-implementation customer experience is top notch. To all of our marketers out there, note the parallels between customer support and customer-centric marketing!
Alright, Rachel, let's hear it!
Thanks for joining us, Rachel. Mind telling us a little bit about your role? What would you say is your favorite part about being on Pardot's Support team?
The Support team is our customers' go-to technical resource after the initial implementation phase. Our focus is on technical troubleshooting, but we also answer a lot of how-tos.
I think my role specifically boils down to two main buckets: keeping my team happy in their own roles, and keeping our customers happy with the support they receive. In my experience, they're actually quite intertwined. As a support team, we're able to give great service because we genuinely love and care about what we do. Likewise, our team's able to stay happy and productive because we're confident in the experience we provide for our customers.
There's so much I love about my position, but our team's culture has to top the list. We genuinely enjoy helping each other out, being around one another, and sending out ridiculous .gifs to keep each other laughing. I never leave work without a good belly laugh.
There's nothing quite like a well-timed .gif! What would you say is the key to successfully solving a support issue? How would you define "great support"?
Great question! One of my favorite things about support is that it allows for a certain level of creativity. So, for example, each member of my team has his or her own style or approach to support, though we also have values and best practices that we share as a team. Each person on my team gives great support in a unique way, so I'll share my personal spin on it.
For me, I'd say my top two customer service values are empathy and transparency. It's a little cliche, but with empathy, it really does come down to placing yourself in your customer's shoes. For example, a bug might be mission critical for one customer but negligible for others. Even if we're not able to fix the issue right away for that one customer, I always try to match the level of urgency in terms of tone and update frequency. Another key piece of empathy is delivering an authentic apology, when it's called for.
Transparency is more a matter of setting realistic expectations and also making sure we're sharing what's going on when issues arise, what we're doing to fix things, and what we're doing to make sure it doesn't happen again.
And one more thing! Keeping a conversational tone with a customer is huge to me. No one wants to talk to a robot.
I think those are great qualities to have across the board, and that's probably why we see so many positive Tweets about Pardot Support! (You can check out a few below.) Now, what tips would you give to companies that are building out or looking to improve their support teams?
Start measuring CSAT (that's Customer Satisfaction Score) early! We send a survey after each resolved case, which gives us really awesome data that we can equip our sales team with to show how we're doing. Beyond that, we get great qualitative feedback in the comments section of the survey — feature feedback to pass along to our Product team, individual feedback we can use during coaching sessions with team members, and insight into how a customer views our team as a whole.
Another tip — and I can't emphasize this one enough — is not to sacrifice candidate quality if you're growing and hiring quickly. This is something we've (fortunately) done really well, and it's so huge in allowing us to scale. One bad egg could quickly change the dynamic of your whole team. As a manager, I know my team, and I've learned what kind of candidate works for us. It's not something I'm willing to compromise on.
Lastly, if you don't have a Knowledge Base, absolutely take the time to invest in one. Building out a resource of self-service materials that are available in real time is the biggest thing you can do to scale your support team. We have a dedicated Documentation Wizard (yep, that's her real title!) on my team, and she's integral to our success.
Good point. As a content marketer, I totally understand the value of readily available content. Let's move on to the people side of things. What traits would you say a customer support rep needs to have to be successful?
The first thing that comes to mind is a natural curiosity. The kind of person that's always poking and prodding and Googling typically excels in this kind of work. If I had a dollar for every time one of our support reps said 'investigate' I'd be a rich lady, because that's the core of what we do.
Time management skills are also key because as a support rep, you're constantly having to weigh opportunity costs and decide how to prioritize between X number of customer requests. Who do you respond to first: the customer that's having trouble with an email that needs to go out ASAP or the customer whose CRM integration hasn't been working as expected for a day? That can be a tough decision, and a support rep is going to need to be able quickly and confidently make those kinds of game-time decisions everyday.
For our team specifically, a sense of humor also does worlds of good. Part of that comes from Pardot's quirky culture, but I think it comes in handy in diffusing stress in any kind of support role.
One thing we see on the marketing side is that many marketers have a hard time measuring their success. How does this look on the Support side? How would you recommend that companies measure the success of their support teams, and the happiness of their customers?
Again, CSAT! Of all the data we collect, CSAT is what we monitor most closely and always make sure we're setting aggressive goals for. We look at team CSAT scores, individual CSAT scores, and because we're a global company, geo-specific CSAT scores.
Time to first response is another way we monitor our success, but I prefer to call it 'time to meaningful first response.' I say that because in order to make this metric significant, we have to make sure we're sending meaningful, helpful first responses rather than just fluff. Most people will tell you speed is one of the top indicators of great service, and I agree. But if we're not actually being helpful or solving any problems, what's the point?
I definitely agree. Now to finish things off…where have you always wanted to travel?
So many places! Italy has always been top of mind for me internationally, but I'm also not as well-traveled as I'd like to be within the U.S. I'm a huge nature geek, so any national park is really attractive. I'm planning a visit to Yosemite soon — stoked!
Okay, and last one —TV or books, and why?
I enjoy both (Netflix, anyone?), but I'd probably say books. I've had a vivid imagination since I was little, and books definitely allow more room for that than TV.
If sports are on the table, though, then TV all the way. There's nothing better than college football in the fall!
Good answer! You can check out a picture of Rachel in her toddler days below — and stay tuned for our next summer camp post, which will focus on making your B2B website more user-friendly and effective.


Borovets is the closest to Sofia winter resort at a distance of 68 km. The first holiday cottage was built in 1896 and offers excellent conditions for mountain tourism and sports: skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, mountain biking. From Borovets there is a ski lift which is connected with the hut Yastrebets, from where an incredible picture is found.
The Fortress "Tsar Mali Grad" is located on the hill "St. Spas" near the town of Samokov. It is built in the valley between the four surrounding mountains – Plana, Vitosha, Rila and Verila to guard the ancient and shortest road from Constantinople through Pautalia (Kyustendil) to Rome. The fortress was destroyed by the huns of Attila and restored during Emperor Justinian.

Dental Insurance and Dental Insurance coverage are an ongoing issue for dental practices and patients alike.
Many patients believe they can only go to "their" Insurance Company's dentist (In Network), and those with no insurance think they can not get care because they have no insurance. BOTH are false, except for very restricted DPO or HMO contracts.

This recipe is naturally sweetened with maple syrup, and a simple breakfast or snack option to take on the go, kids will love taking these to school as a snack as well!
They are crunchy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside, my favorite kind of cookie! I added orange zest and a tiny bit of fresh orange juice to bring out the sweetness of the raisins and flavor of the vanilla extract. I've been making these cookies for a few weeks now, and everyone I give them to (because I cant eat them all!) has absolutely loved them. So I hope you do too!
Living more mindfully and consciously aware has shed a lot of impatience and resistance. My clients have also reaped the benefits from using stress techniques that work for them, whether it's breathing exercising, meditation, yoga, working out, walking outside, or journaling. Try one of these practices and see which one works best for you. I'm telling you, you won't regret it.
1. Preheat oven to 350'F and grease cookie trays lightly with coconut oil.
2. Combine oats, spelt flour, almond meal, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl.
3. Combine coconut oil, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice in a separate bowl and whisk until mixed together.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well. This mixture will be wet so set aside for about 10-15 minutes to allow batter to thicken.
5. Mix in the raisins and walnuts.
6. Using a damp ¼ cup-measuring cup, scoop batter and roll in your hands and flatten slightly when you place cookie dough on the cookie tray.
7. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
This recipe only contains 3 ingredients! These are the perfect snack, although you might want to devour all of them at once so be careful!
You can add different dried fruits, flavors, and nuts into this mix. It can be used as a base to create more delicious recipes.
My weakness is dark chocolate, so I always make sure to eat or buy the most pure brands. Making this at home with simply dates and organic raw cocao powder is simple enough for when you have those dark chocolate cravings.
Here are some different ideas of what you can roll the truffles in to add color: shredded coconut, bee pollen, matcha powder, pistachios, goji powder, cocao powder, acai powder, or any other kind of nuts.
1. Add dates, cocao and vanilla extract into food processor. Blend until smooth.
2. Coat hands with coconut oil so that the mixture doesn't stick to your hands. Roll about a Tbsp. of the truffle mixture into a ball and coat with whatever topping you choose. I like to have a variety of color and flavor so I used four different flavors.
3. Place truffles on parchment paper and keep in fridge.
4. Enjoy these delicious treats!

У́жгород (, ,  и , , , ) — город на западе Украины. Административный центр Закарпатской области и Ужгородского района. Центр Ужгородско-Мукачевской агломерации. Составляет Ужгородскую городскую общину. Является крупнейшим городом Закарпатья.

Этимология

Первое письменное упоминание о городе сделано арабским путешественником Аль-Идриси в 1154 году. Как свидетельствуют исторические документы, со времени первого упоминания фактически до конца Первой мировой войны город имел только одно название: Унгвар (, видоизменения Гункбар, Гугвар, Онгвар). Само слово состоит из двух частей: «Унг» и «вар». Что касается второй из них, здесь учёные единодушны, так как слово vár в венгерском языке означает «укрепление, крепость, замок» (в венгерский язык оно попало из одного из иранских). Большие дискуссии вызывает этимология слова «Унг». В 1860 году один из первых историков города  (1821—1890) утверждал, что «Унг» якобы означает «быстрый». Между тем, для определения указанного понятия в славянских языках употребляются совершенно другие слова. Один из исследователей Эде Маукс, опираясь на то, что среди кочующих тюркских народов вожди племён назывались «онг», и поскольку, согласно историческим трудам венгерского автора Анонима (нач XIII века), Арпад — один из вождей древних угров в конце IX — начале X веков — захватил Ужгород, то и крепость (город) получила название «Онгвар» («Унгвар»). Однако, как выяснилось, Арпад имел титул «юли» или «Дюлы» (из чего позже возникло собственное имя Дьюла), а не «онг». Не подтверждается и предположение Пал Ясои, что это название происходит от имени посла восточно-римского императора Феодосия Онегеса, направленного к королю гуннов Аттиле (V век). Иван Раковский считал, что название Унгвар более славянское, чем Ужгород, и происходит от таких слов, как Уг (Унг), означающее Юг (река Унг (Уг по-словацки), сегодняшний Уж, течёт на юг) и слова «тваръ» (творить, твердыня, крепость), из которого выпала буква «т» и оно получило форму вар.

В первой половине XIX века выдающийся славист Павел Шафарик (1795—1861) искусственно из названия Унгвар образовал название Угвар. С названия Угвар позже была сделана калька «Оуггородъ». Параллельно с этим преподаватель Духовной семинарии Андрей Балудянский (1807—1853) создал форму «Унгоград», переведя венгерское слово «вар» (замок, укрепления) на славянское «град», однако ни одно название не прижилось. В середине XIX века появляется название Ужгород. Возникло оно под влиянием подъёма национальных движений русинского населения края, особенно во времена венгерской революции 1848—1849 годов. Кому принадлежит авторство в сотворении этого названия, пока неизвестно, однако существуют представления, каким образом оно образовано. Вместо элемента «Унг» употреблено слово «Уж», а венгерское «вар» («замок, крепость») переведёно словом «город». Однако новое название города — «Ужгород» — в то время не прижилось. Им спорадически пользовались до конца 1860-х годов лишь немногие из представителей местной интеллигенции (например, Александр Духнович). Население же края, как писал в 1869 году И. Раковский, «в недоумініи обращается ко священикамъ съ вопросомъ: что это за місто Ужгородъ, где оно?». Не удивительно, что и это название не прижилось. О нём вспомнили только после Первой мировой войны, когда Закарпатье отошло к Чехословакии, и новая власть решила славянизировать названия городов и сёл края. С того времени, за исключением короткого периода (1938—1944), когда Закарпатье входило в состав хортистской Венгрии, официально употребляется название Ужгород.

История
На протяжении своей более чем тысячелетней истории Ужгород не раз переходил из рук в руки. В городе находится липовая аллея, которая считается самой длинной в Европе, несколько средневековых замков и соборов.

Первый камень поселения был заложен больше тысячелетия назад — на вулканической горе, где начинали строительство крепостного замка. Постепенно вокруг замка появился город.

Начиная с IX века Ужгород (Унгвар) был защищённой раннефеодальной крепостью, основанной одним из славянских племен. Историки расходятся во мнении относительно того, какая группа славян была представлена в городе. Существуют три гипотезы — южные славяне (Болгарское царство), западные славяне (Великая Моравия) либо восточные славяне (белые хорваты). В 895 году венгры, во главе с вождями Альмошем и Арпадом, а также кавары и ушедшие с ними в рамках «крепчайшего союза» между Русью и венграми русы перешли Карпаты. Завоевав крепость Ужгород, они догнали и казнили её правителя, полулегендарного князя Лаборца, который спасался бегством. Именно в Ужгороде Альмош передал верховную власть Арпаду. В XI веке король Иштван I Святой располагает в Ужгородском замке административный центр одного из первых новообразованных комитатов — Унг. Находившийся под влиянием Венгерского королевства, город продолжал расширять свои границы, пока в 1241 году монголы Батыя не сожгли город. Жалованной грамотой короля Белы IV в 1248 году Ужгород получает городской статус и самоуправление. В начале XIV века Ужгород во главе с Або Амадеем и Петром Петуни оказывал длительное сопротивление новому венгерскому королю Карлу Роберту из Анжуйского дома. В 1318 году началось правление в Ужгороде Другетов, венгерских феодалов итало-французского происхождения. Филипп Другет соорудил новый замок, который сохранился до наших дней.

Ужгород ставший 1687 г. после битвы при Мохаче крайним восточным форпостом Габсбургской Австрии на границе с Трансильванией, быстро развивался в экономическом плане, но, вместе с тем, стал ареной противостояния православия, католицизма и протестантизма. В 1707 году город стал резиденцией Ференца II Ракоци, предводителя национально-освободительной войны венгерского народа. Именно в Ужгородском замке он вёл переговоры с послами Петра Великого и Людовика XIV. В 1775 году австрийская императрица Мария Терезия, воспользовавшись поражением турок в русско-турецкой войне 1768—1774, присоединила Буковину вместе с Ужгородом и Черновцами к империи Габсбургов.

В XVI—XVII веках Ужгород, ставший после битвы при Мохаче крайним восточным форпостом Габсбургской Австрии на границе с Трансильванией, быстро развивался в экономическом плане, но, вместе с тем, стал ареной противостояния православия, католицизма и протестантизма. В результате, в 1646 году была провозглашена Ужгородская уния, давшая начало грекокатолицизму в Закарпатье. В 1707 году город стал резиденцией Ференца II Ракоци, предводителя национально-освободительной войны венгерского народа. Именно в Ужгородском замке он вёл переговоры с послами Петра Великого и Людовика XIV. В 1775 году, по решению императрицы и королевы Марии-Терезии, в Ужгороде был расположенный центр полноправной греко-католической епархии, которая объединяла 13 комитатов тогдашней Венгрии. Город превратился в крупный региональный духовный и культурный центр; для нужд епархии были переданы Замок и большая часть замкового холма, где были расположены административные, учебные, жилые и культовые сооружения. Революционные традиции сохранялись в Ужгороде и в XIX веке — 27 марта 1848 года жители города поддержали венгерскую революцию.

В 1863 году — была открыта первая типография с украинским шрифтом. В 1869 году в Ужгороде действовал первый на Закарпатье лесопильный завод, 28 августа 1872 года начала работать участок Ужгород — Чоп Венгерской Северо-Восточной железной дороги. 1886 году построена мебельная фабрика «Мундус». В 1897 году появилась первая телеграфная связь Ужгород — Будапешт, а в 1902 году была сдана в эксплуатацию первая электростанция.

В начале XX века «Энциклопедический словарь Брокгауза и Ефрона» так описывал этот город на своих страницах:

«Ужгород — или Унгоград, иначе Унгвар (чешско-словенско-русское U ž horod, Uhv à r, мадьярск. Unghv á r) — главный город Ужского (или Унгварского) комитата в Венгрии, на берегу реки Уж (или Уг). Около 12000 жит., преимущественно мадьярского племени (1965 словаков, 1651 немцев, 450 угрорусов); 3939 человек римско-католического, 3111 униатского, 999 евангелического и 3738 иудейского исповедания. Минеральные источники; гончарное производство; виноградники.».

Первая мировая война негативно повлияла на экономику города, поэтому в 20-х годах даже появлялись инициативы перенести административный центр в Мукачево, которые не реализовались.

10 сентября 1919 по условиям Сен-Жерменского мирного договора, Закарпатье с Ужгородом в качестве административного центра передавалась Чехословацкой республике. Планировалось сделать Ужгород центром автономной Подкарпатской Руси, поэтому чехословацкое правительство проводило активное строительство, превратившее город в пример современной архитектуры, и поощряло экономическое развитие города.

Согласно решениям Первого Венского арбитража, в 1938 году Ужгород перешёл к хортистской Венгрии, которая отменила либеральные и демократические начинания Чехословакии и ввела во время Второй мировой войны жёсткий режим военного времени. В конце 1944 года, по мере приближения Красной Армии к очагам Словацкого национального восстания, перед Четвёртым Украинским фронтом встал вопрос захвата Закарпатья. 27 октября 1944 две советские танковые колонны, наступавшие со стороны Мукачева и Ужоцкого перевала, освободили город от венгерских и немецких войск.

Освобождение Закарпатья принесло определённые изменения в жизнь Ужгорода. Сооружались новые постройки и реконструировались старые здания, в 1945 году был открыт Ужгородский государственный (ныне — национальный) университет. По соглашению с Чехословакией от 29 июня 1945 Закарпатская Украина вошла в состав Украинской ССР и СССР. С января 1946 года — центр новообразованной Закарпатской области.

Сейчас Ужгород — развитый культурный и промышленный центр, с университетами и институтами, с множеством музеев и Ботаническим садом, церквями и средневековыми соборами.

География
Город расположен в 785 км от Киева на высоте примерно 120 м в предгорьях Карпат на реке Уж. Территория города составляет 42 км². Протяжённость города с севера на юг — 5 км, с востока на запад — 8 км. Наивысшая точка Ужгорода — гора Великая Дайбовецка — 224 м. Площадь зелёных массивов и насаждений составляет 1574 га. Речка Уж пересекает город, значительную часть площади города составляет Правобережная часть (Старый Город), которая несколько больше левобережной. Ужгород расположен на границе со Словакией.

Климат

Климат умеренно континентальный, с теплым летом и мягкой зимой. Значительное влияние на климат города оказывает защищённость Карпатами от холодных ветров с севера. И так как город расположен на крайнем юго-западе страны, климат города самый благоприятный по всей Украине благодаря тёплой короткой зиме и длительному лету (июнь обычно нежаркий и иногда весьма дождливый). Так же в последнее время в Ужгороде крайне редко отмечаются сильные морозы с температурами ниже −18 (обычно не ниже −12 — и только в конце января и в феврале; в декабре температура колеблется в пределах нуля; декабрь всегда очень сырой, дождливый, без снежного покрова; если снег и выпадает, то очень быстро тает). Летом же (особенно в июле и августе) практически каждый год отмечается сильная жара с температурами, доходящими до +38; засух практически не бывает. Осень всегда длительная и тёплая (особенно в сентябре и октябре): каждый год есть долгое бабье лето с ясными сухими тёплыми днями (золотая осень).

Среднегодовая температура воздуха составляет +10,1 °С, наиболее низкая она в январе: −1,7 °С, наиболее высокая — в июле: +20,9 °С.

Наиболее низкая среднемесячная температура воздуха в январе −11,1 °С, зафиксирована в 1964 году, наиболее высокая +3,3 °С — в 2007 году.
Наиболее низкая среднемесячная температура в июле +17,6 °С, наблюдалась в 1902 и 1979 годах, наиболее высокая +23,6 °С — в 1994 году.
Абсолютный минимум температуры воздуха −32,0 °С зафиксирован 9-10 февраля 1929 года, абсолютный максимум, +38,6 °С — 15 июля 1952 года.
В последние 100—120 лет температура воздуха в Ужгороде, равно как и в целом на Земле, имеет тенденцию к повышению. На протяжении этого периода среднегодовая температура воздуха повысилась примерно на 1,0 °С. Наибольшее повышение температуры произошло в первую половину года.

В среднем за год в Ужгороде выпадает 748 мм атмосферных осадков, меньше всего их в феврале и апреле, больше всего — в июне и июле.

Минимальное годовое количество осадков 443 мм наблюдалось в 1961 году, максимальное 1134 мм — в 1980 году.
Максимальное суточное количество осадков 75 мм зафиксировано в июне 1892 года.
В среднем за год в городе наблюдается 156 дней с осадками; меньше всего их в октябре — 9, больше всего в декабре — 18.
Ежегодно в Ужгороде образуется снежный покров, однако его высота незначительна. Выпавший снег обычно лежит недолго и довольно быстро тает.

Относительная влажность воздуха в среднем составляет 73 %, наименьшая она в апреле — 63 %, наибольшая в декабре — 84 %.

Население

Численность населения города по данным на 1 ноября 2021 года составляет 116 005 постоянных жителя, 116 164 человека — наличное население.

Население Ужгорода росло неравномерно. К началу 90-х годов XX столетия количество жителей города вместе с окраинами достигло максимального уровня в 120 тысяч человек и в последующие годы стабилизировалось на этом уровне..

Основные этнические группы (по данным переписи 2001 года):
 украинцы — 77,8 %
 русские — 9,5 %
 венгры — 7,0 %
 словаки — 2,2 %

Также в городе проживают цыгане, немцы, евреи, русины и др. (всего 3,5 % населения).

Экономика
Господство феодально-крепостнических порядков тормозило развитие города и он в течение многих веков существовал как торгово-ремесленный центр. В 1154 году арабский географ Идриси вспоминает о городе Гунквар, то есть Унгвар (именно так до XIX века назывался Ужгород) и описывает его как крупнейший торговый центр в северо-восточной части Венгерского королевства.

В 1775 году австрийская императрица Мария Терезия, воспользовавшись поражением турок в русско-турецкой войне 1768—1774, присоединила Буковину вместе с Ужгородом и Черновцами к империи Габсбургов. За время вхождения в австрийское королевство Габсбургов продолжала расти экономика Ужгорода, застраивается и левый берег реки. С 1793 года заработала лесопилка, действовавшая с помощью верхнебойного водяного колеса, мельница на 8 камней. Было налажено производство кирпича, черепицы, в центре города — пива. Открылись мануфактуры: суконная, спичечная и сукновальня фабрика, начала работать первая типография.

В 1886 году в городе начала работать мебельная фабрика «Мундус», продукция которой экспортировалась в Германию, Италию, Францию. В 1897 году открылся металлообрабатывающий завод Козара. В городе действовали новая типография, кирпично-черепичный завод фирмы «Керамос», камнедробильный завод фирмы «Гранит», кафельная фабрика. Пищевую промышленность представляли несколько мельниц, маргаринный и водочный заводы. Лес, мебель, скот вывозили из Ужгорода железной дорогой в Центральную и Западную Европу. Ежегодно в городе проходили большие торговые ярмарки. Открылись первые банки — Ужгородский торгово-промышленный банк и Ужгородский народный банк.

В 1894 году снесены последние дома под соломенной крышей. Большинство центральных улиц были вымощены, для пешеходов приводили в порядок тротуары, устанавливалось ночное освещение. С 1897 года город имел телеграфную связь с Будапештом, а в 1902 году построена небольшая электростанция.

С 1923 года начались плановые работы по регуляции течения реки Уж в пределах города, построена гидроэлектростанция. Среди новостроек выделялся дом Земской управы (здание ОГА).

За советский период в Ужгороде в конце 1950-60 годах выросли приборостроительный, механический и машиностроительный заводы, фабрика бытовой химии, обновился мебельный комбинат. В 1976 году построен один из крупнейших в стране завод газотранспортных турбоустановок «Турбогаз». В 1979 году начато строительство одного из крупнейших в стране Ужгородского завода электродвигателей. В Ужгороде построены новые улицы, микрорайоны. Возведены гостиницы «Ужгород», «Дружба», комплекс сооружений турбазы «Свитанок», гостинично-туристический комплекс «Интурист-Закарпатье».

За период реформирования экономики страны (с 1991 года) инфляционные процессы, разрывы производственных связей повлекли спад производства и практически остановку большинства промышленных предприятий города. На сегодняшний день происходит небольшое наращивание объёмов промышленного производства, товаров и услуг других отраслей экономики за счёт активизации в городе предпринимательской и инвестиционной деятельности.

Ужгород является важным экономическим центром области, обладает развитой бизнес-инфраструктурой поддержки предпринимательства. В городе сосредоточено 4358 объектов хозяйствования (25,4 % общего количества объектов области). Развитое предпринимательство. На 10 тыс. населения в городе приходится 164 малых предприятий при среднем показателе по области и по Украине — 60 единиц. Зарегистрировано 9,6 тыс. предпринимателей — физических лиц. Наибольшее количество субъектов предпринимательской деятельности юридических лиц осуществляют деятельность в торговле — 525 ед, в промышленности — 453, в строительстве — 128, операциями с недвижимостью занимаются 327, транспортные услуги оказывают 79 предприятий. В гостиничном и ресторанном бизнесе осуществляют деятельность 69 субъектов предпринимательской деятельности. В течение нескольких последних лет наблюдается ежегодный рост объёмов производства и реализации товаров и услуг. В банковской сфере услуги предоставляют около 30 банков.

Удельный вес города в общеобластном объёме реализованной продукции и оказанных услуг, включая малые предприятия, составляет 38 %. Наибольший удельный вес в общем объёме реализованной продукции, работ, услуг занимает оптовая и розничная торговля, торговля транспортными средствами и услуги по их ремонту — 75,2 %, промышленность — 14,5 %, строительство — 4,4 %, транспорт — 2,3 %, операции с недвижимостью — 1,5 %, гостиничный и ресторанный бизнес — 0,6 %, финансовая деятельность — 0,3 %. 3а три последних года активизировалось иностранное инвестирование. Поступление прямых иностранных инвестиций позволили создать новые совместные предприятия, а на ряде действующих провести модернизацию производства. Поступление прямых иностранных инвестиций в экономику города составили в 2002 году — 8,4 млн.$, за 2003—2004 годы — по 9,3 млн.$, за 9 месяцев 2005 года — 13,3 млн.$. По состоянию на 1 октября 2005 года зарегистрировано 186 предприятий с иностранными инвестициями, общий объём прямых иностранных инвестиций составляет 51,0 млн.$. На 1 жителя привлечено иностранных инвестиций на сумму 441,4 $ при среднем показателе по области 251,7 $. По видам экономической деятельности больше всего инвестиций направлено в развитие обрабатывающей промышленности (35,3 млн.$), торговлю и быт (8,8 млн.$), гостиницы и рестораны (2,3 млн.$) и строительство (1,4 млн.$). Инвестиционную деятельность в городе осуществляют инвесторы из 28 иностранных государств.

Промышленность

В местной экономике промышленность продолжает занимать ведущую роль, однако разрывы союзных производственных связей, экономический кризис отрицательно повлияли на развитие отрасли. Большинство промышленных предприятий города, в частности такие предприятия как завод «Турбогаз», «Ужгородприбор», «Большевик», «Электродвигатель», ПО «Тиса», Ужгородский фанерно-мебельный комбинат потеряли свой производственный потенциал. Если в 1990 году на промышленных предприятиях города работало 20,6 тыс. человек, то на сегодня, с учетом малых предприятий и предприятий с иностранными инвестициями, около 7,0 тыс. человек. По объёмам производства промышленным комплексом города ещё не достигнут уровень 1990 года (в 2004 году — 75,7 %). По объёмам реализации продукции в сопоставимых ценах наибольший удельный вес занимают отрасли: производство электрических машин и аппаратуры (28,3 %), машин и оборудования (14,9 %), производство мебели (19,4 %), легкая промышленность (17,8 %), пищевая промышленность (6,2 %), производство древесины и изделий из древесины (5,5 %). Легкая и машиностроительная отрасли работают в основном на давальческом сырье. Основные проблемы отрасли — это отсутствие инвестиций, утраченный внутренний рынок, изношенность и устарелость оборудования, неблагоприятная налоговая политика.
К предприятиям, которые формируют наибольшие объёмы по городу и является бюджетообразующим относятся ООО «Гроклин-Карпаты» (пошив чехлов для сидений автомобилей), ООО «Матяш и Матяш», ООО «Завод Конвектор» (машиностроение), ОАО «Ужгородская швейная фабрика» (легкая промышленность), ЗАО «Скилур» (производство напитков), ООО «ФЦА Украина» (парфюмерная промышленность). На территории экономической зоны со специальным режимом инвестиционной деятельности (в которую не входит сам город Ужгород, но окрестные сельские населенные пункты Минай, Розовка, Соломоново) действуют предприятия с иностранными инвестициями «Джейбил Серкит Юкрейн Лимитед» (производство комплектующих для электроники), «Язаки Украина» (производство схемных жгутов) и «Еврокар» (производство автомобилей марки Skoda), которые обеспечивают рабочие места значительному количеству населения Ужгорода и Ужгородского района.

Темп строительства общественных зданий значительно ускорил развитие сети дорог и транспортного движения Ужгорода.

Железнодорожное движение появилось во второй половине XIX ст. Первая железнодорожная линия вела к Чопу. Её строительство было начато в 1870 году на основе закона № XXVIII в направлении Ужгород — Ньиредьхаза. И уже в 1872 году был запущен в действие первый отрезок этой железной дороги Ужгород — Чоп. В течение 1915—1916 годах была построена первая узкоколейная железная дорога в направлении Ужгород — Анталовцы.

В настоящее время железная дорога обеспечивает надёжную связь Ужгорода с другими регионами страны, а также с Евросоюзом. На юг отходит одноколейная электрифицированная линия на Чоп, по которой ходят пассажирские поезда на Львов через главный карпатский ход, а также электропоезда на Мукачево и. На север отходит однопутная электрифицированная линия на Львов через Сянки/Самбор, по ней ходят электропоезда на Сянки/Волосянку, а также поезд Солотвино — Львов. Существует также однопутная электрифицированная линия широкой колеи через границу на Кошице, но по ней осуществляются только грузовые перевозки.

Первый автобус по Ужгороду стал ходить в феврале 1923 года. Длина маршрута была около трёх км (его маршрут проходил через мост Пешеходный и площадь Театральную) и останавливался на этом пути в наиболее важных местах. Автобус мог перевозить сразу 30 чел. Сегодня в городе существует 17 городских маршрутов, 3 сельских маршрутов. С 2018 года в Ужгороде началось движение коммунального транспорта (представлен автобусами Электрон А185), которые обслуживают маршруты № 18, 20, 22, 24, 38, 156. В подвижном составе превалируют микромаршрутки.

Ужгород — единственный областной центр Украины, в котором отсутствует электротранспорт.

Сегодня на территории города находятся Железнодорожный вокзал станции «Ужгород», Большой и Малый автобусные вокзалы, а также Международный Аэропорт.

Кроме этого, в городе действует малая закарпатская железная дорога, построенная в 1947 году, которая объединяет центральную часть города (пл. Театральная) с парком Подзамковым.

Культура
В городе есть много памятников архитектуры — Ужгородский замок (известен с XI века), епископский дворец (1646), католический костёл в стиле барокко (1762—1767), ратуша (1810).

В 1930-х годах чешскими архитекторами был создан архитектурный ансамбль центра Ужгорода в формах, близких к конструктивизму.

В советское время город застраивался по генеральному плану, велось жилищное строительство, развивалось озеленение территории города, был выстроен ряд общественных зданий и памятников.

В городе работают Ужгородский университет, институты и училища, краеведческий музей, художественный музей, Закарпатский музей народной архитектуры и быта, ботанический сад, Закарпатский областной украинский музыкально-драматический театр, кукольный театр, областная филармония (бывшая синагога), более 20 школ, гимназия, лицей, ряд храмов.

В наше время в Ужгороде есть представительства международных организаций, институтов и иностранных ВУЗов — Общества Красного Креста, Центрально-европейского университета (Скалица, Словакия), Международного института афонского наследия на Украине и др.

СМИ, печатные издания
В Ужгороде ведут свою деятельность абсолютное большинство областных средств массовой информации. Отличительной чертой функционирования СМИ является многоязычие печатных, теле-, радио- и электронных СМИ. Среди общественно-политических изданий известны газеты «Новини Закарпаття», «Ужгород», «Реклама. Інформація. Огляд новин (РІО)», «Європа-центр», «Трибуна»(украиноязычные), спортивная газета «Спорт-Тайм», «Карпати игоз Со», «Карпатойло» (венгероязычные), «Эхо» — бюллетень Закарпатского областного благотворительного фонда «Хэсэд Шпира», «Подкарпатская Русь» (русскоязычные), «Подкарпатский словак» (словакоязычная), «Романи яг» (выходит на языке рома).

Спорт

Весной 1919 года в Ужгороде было создано первое Ужгородское рабочее общество, которое на протяжении двух десятилетий (1921—1941) занимало важное место в спортивной жизни Закарпатья.

В городе широкой популярностью пользуется футбольный клуб «Говерла». В высшей лиге клуб выступал четырежды, в сезоне 2001/02, 2004/05, 2005/06 и 2007/08. В сезоне 2008/09 «Говерла-Закарпатье» заняло первое место в Первой лиге и выступало в наивысшем дивизионе Украины в сезоне 2009/10 — Премьер-лиге. Воспитанниками клуба являются Йожеф Сабо — заслуженный тренер Украины, Василий Кобин — бывший игрок ФК «Шахтёр» и сборной Украины. Домашние матчи клуб проводит на стадионе «Авангард», и именно на этом стадионе проходят творческие конкурсы УжНУ по физкультуре (экзамены для поступления на факультет Здоровье человека) бег 100 м и 1000 м.

В женской гандбольной Суперлиге выступает один из ведущих клубов страны «Карпаты». В 2012, 2013 и 2014 годах клуб стал с тренером Борисом Петровским чемпионом Украины.

Tips 1-7 were covered in Part 1 of this article. You can view it here.
Disaster is always an unlikely event and disaster with your email system only makes the disaster feel worse… you can however try to avert disaster (or plan to recover from it) with a good Disaster Recovery Policy (DRP). If you do not have one, then the next steps would be to consider clustering or high availability. If that is not possible then you should at least have a RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) set ready for failure. Hard drives have a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) set and the drives 'will' eventually fail. It's imperative that you have all these forms of disaster planning in place, but in its most simplest form, you should really have RAID running. RAID can also 'improve read and write speeds' to and from your hard disk as it also utilizes striping.
When choosing a RAID configuration, consider RAID 1+0 as the first choice and RAID 5 as a compromise if your budget won't allow for the additional disks needed for RAID 1+0. SAN environments with the additional cache and processing power can often narrow the performance gap between RAID 1+0 and RAID 5 can be significantly narrowed. There are also benefits via performance and monitoring via most vendors SAN software and hardware.
When formatting the volumes for use with Exchange, be sure to use the diskpar utility that comes with the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit to correctly align the physical disk geometry. Before you mount a new RAID volume through disk manager, open a command prompt and run 'diskpar.exe –i *' to get a list of available disks, then run 'diskpar.exe –s <disk number>' to format the disk with a 64 Kb off-set. If using a SAN, consult with your SAN vendor for the proper off-set.
Also make sure that you use NTFS for best performance and security.
An average disk read performance to work from is between 0.5 and 0.75 IOPS (I/O's per Second) per active user for the data store volume. A good rule of thumb for I/O ratios on Exchange stores is 3 reads for every write.
A typical 10,000 RPM Fiber Channel drive delivers approximately 100 IOPS, a 15,000 RPM Fiber Channel drive delivers approximately 120 IOPS, which means that often you can be better off buying more 10,000 RPM drives rather than upgrading to 15,000 RPM drives.
The RAID configuration will also have an impact on the overall performance of a set of spindles. The impacts on IOPS for using RAID 0 (no data protection) on a typical exchange system is none, so the RAID multiplier is 1.0, but RAID 1 or RAID 1+0 doubles the number of I/O's required for each write, so the multiplier is 0.8 (i.e. you will get roughly 80% of the overall performance of a RAID 0 array with RAID 1). For a RAID 5 array, which requires 4 I/O's per write, the factor is 0.57, or 57% of the overall performance of a RAID 0 array, which means you can often need fewer disks when implementing with RAID 1 than RAID 5 due to the performance constraints. If you are using a SAN, check with your SAN vendor to see what the impact of the various RAID levels is on the effective IOPS of the system, as advanced caching techniques can increase RAID 5 performance significantly.
Moving to 15,000 RPM disks changes these numbers to 6 and 8 respectively.
If your system is flat-lining with a consistently high Disk Transfers/sec counter, you probably need to add more disks and/or change the RAID level of your array.
Your domain controllers will be doing a lot of the address book lookup work that Exchange servers did under Exchange 5.5, for this reason it is important to monitor and design your Active Directory environment with Exchange in mind and understand that overloading your domain controllers can have a direct impact on your Exchange system performance. Be sure to have GC's located in the same sites as your Exchange servers and avoid multi-purpose domain controllers if at all possible.
This tool will automatically set up monitoring of the most important aspects of Exchange. Run the wizard, select 'Advanced Configuration' and on the next screen, check the 'Exchange Server' Check box.
Continue through the wizard, selecting the names and locations of the log files, frequency for updates, and finally you will be presented with a screen to select what aspects of the system you want to monitor.
Be sure to validate the performance metrics that you predict for your system by using jetstress, loadsim, and medusa (aka Exchange Stress and Performance) tools, available for free download from Microsoft's download center. Jetstress is a good way to evaluate a single server's disk I/O performance and really help in evaluating RAID or SAN controller performance and the impacts of using various configurations. Loadsim emulates actual users sending e-mail messages across your system by opening active MAPI sessions and can be used to perform end-to-end performance testing of your overall system. Be sure to turn on perfmon prior to starting your Loadsim tests so that you can identify if your bottlenecks are memory, disk I/O, or CPU based limitations. Medusa is similar to loadsim, but adds the ability to test and tune IMAP, POP-3, LDAP, WebDAV, and a slew of other non-MAPI type connections into your Exchange environment, allowing for more of a 'real world' performance test, particularly when combined with MAPI calls from Loadsim.
Microsoft has released the Exchange Best Practices Analyzer tool to help administrators find problems in their configurations and to make suggestions on ways to improve their Exchange systems. A very straight-forward wizard looks at your environment and pinpoints any of several possible problems with your system. While it's not a perfect tool, it didn't detect a configuration where the log files and exchange databases were on the same physical volume, for example, the feedback from this tool is very useful, and Microsoft is upgrading the tests and checks that the tool performs on a regular basis. To download the tool, visit http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/downloads/2003/ExBPA/default.asp.
As your last and final tip, make sure that you document and log your environment. You can lean a lot from a log and some documentation. Make sure you keep a constant look at your Event Viewer logs as well; you can also learn a lot and take some proactive steps towards handling potential problems or issues.
In Part 2 of this article you have been shown how to pay close attention to detail when attempting to be a cut above the rest and make a great Exchange Deployment better. Remembering these finer, smaller details when rolling out and then managing your Microsoft Windows Exchange 2003 deployment will ensure you a better performing system. Always make sure to back up your systems before applying any patch or fix, make sure to test in a lab segment and always have a back out plan for your production systems.
Rob and Chad are both currently involved in a global Exchange 2003 deployment spanning hundreds of sites all across the world. 15 tips were provided from a real world deployment that the authors considered very important points to cover when assessing your current Exchange environment in hopes that they help you as much as they have helped us. Rob would like to personally thank Chad Conrow for his assistance with this article. You can reach Rob Shimonski in the Forums on this website.

23 February 2020 – A Tribute to Sacrifice: Taneytown Honors African American Civil War Soldiers Buried at St. Joseph
A Tribute to Sacrifice: Taneytown Honors African American Civil War Soldiers Buried at St. Joseph
By David Buie
On February 15, 2020, the Mayor and City Council members of Taneytown placed wreaths to honor African American Civil War soldiers buried at St. Joseph Roman Catholic Cemetery. The inaugural event was the project of Taneytown resident and Carroll's Yesteryears contributor David Buie.
Although Taneytown had a relatively significant population of free African Americans at the time of the Civil War, the only churches serving blacks were white ones. Of the seven Civil War soldiers currently identified from the Taneytown area, five were buried at St. Joseph's and one at Trinity Lutheran Cemetery. The seventh soldier was killed in battle and his body not returned home.
St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church has a long history of serving the local black community. In the late 19th century, when schools for black children in Carroll County were few, far between, and often closed because there were too few pupils to operate, St. Joseph on Frederick Street offered an education. Black children were taught before and after the regular classes which white students attended. Black families attended the church and their dead were buried in the large cemetery surrounding it. Information about attendance of African Americans at other Taneytown churches is not known.
The Miller Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) Post existed for no more than five years in Taneytown in the 1880s and served white veterans only. If black veterans wanted to participate in G.A.R. social and political activities they likely joined the Thaddeus Stevens Post located in New Windsor, a significant distance away. The racial segregation in Taneytown during this period was typical of other parts of Carroll County and Maryland in general.
The following are brief biographies of the five black soldiers thought to be buried in St. Joseph Roman Catholic Cemetery. The information comes from several sources including the 1890 Veterans Census, military records, and articles published in The Carroll Record; a Taneytown newspaper founded in 1894. Marriages between members of Taneytown's black families also made it easier to research several of the soldiers.
Private John L. Coates/Coats: In the 1850 census John L., age 9, is living with his father John, mother Henrietta, and several siblings in the Taneytown area. By the 1860 census, John L. would have been approximately nineteen but he doesn't appear in the household. James A. Coats, age 21, does appear. Both John L. and James A. are supposed to have served in the war but almost nothing can be found about them. A newspaper article says James A., a sergeant, died in battle around Petersburg, Virginia. That would have been in 1864. John L. returned home and died some years later. He probably was buried at St. Joseph's but no headstone exists today. During the ceremony on February 15 a wreath was placed on the grave of John Coats (1815-1882), father of the two young men who fought for their country.
Private John Wesley Cook, Co. D, 2nd U.S. Colored Cavalry: John Cook was born in Taneytown in 1820. He enlisted in the Union Army on March 17, 1865, for one year and mustered out at Brazos, Santiago, Texas, on February 12, 1866. His obituary appeared in The Carroll Record on April 19, 1902. A wreath was placed on his grave by a descendant who attended the ceremony. The United States Colored Cavalry evolved into the famous Buffalo Soldiers, infantry and cavalry units that fought Native American tribes and protected settlers on America's frontier for about 30 years after the war. The performance of black troops during the Civil War had convinced the U.S. government to incorporate black regiments into its regular peacetime army.
Private Randolph Frealing, Co. C., 30th United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.): Randolph Frealing was born in Taneytown about 1832. There appears to be confusion about the spelling of his name in military records making it hard to trace him. According to History and Roster of Maryland Volunteers, Randolph "Tailing" enlisted May 27, 1864, and mustered out December 10, 1865. The Carroll Record of May 19, 1906, reported Randolph's death along with his military service. No headstone exists at St. Joseph's for Frealing so no wreath could be placed on his grave, but Josephine Frealing, likely his daughter, is buried not far from the grave of John Coats.
Private C. David Hill, Co. D, 2nd U.S. Colored Cavalry: C. David Hill enlisted March 17, 1865, for one year at age 26. He was mustered out at Brazos, Santiago, Texas. No grave marker for C. David Hill was found, but members of the Hill family have attended St. Joseph's for well over a century.
Private Caleb Johnson, Co. D, 2nd U.S. Colored Cavalry: Born in Howard County, Maryland, Caleb Johnson enlisted on March 17, 1865, at age 23 to serve for one year. He was discharged for medical reasons from the Corps d'Afrique U.S.A. General Hospital in New Orleans because he was incapable of performing the duties of a soldier. From the beginning of his service Caleb dealt with serious health issues like scurvy and rheumatism. In 1873, he died from consumption (tuberculosis) while residing in Taneytown. Privates Johnson, Hill, and Cook were no longer part of the Colored Cavalry when it began military operations across the American West.
Trinity Lutheran Cemetery is the burial place of Private William E. Bivens/Bivans, Co. H, 39th U.S.C.T. Bivens enlisted on March 1, 1864, at age 24 and left the service on December 4, 1865, in Wilmington, North Carolina. Born in Baltimore, he apparently lived there until he appeared in Taneytown in the 1880 census with his wife, Henrietta, and four children. In spite of being a sailor while in Baltimore, he served in an infantry regiment during the war. After his wife Henrietta died in 1899, he married a Miss Coats. His exact date of death is unknown, but it occurred after 1911.
It should be noted that over 180,000 African Americans served in the Union Army during the Civil War and approximately 20,000 black sailors served in the Union Navy, making up a large portion of the ships' crews. Black soldiers served in forty major battles and hundreds of minor skirmishes; sixteen African Americans received the Medal of Honor. Carroll County was well-represented in both black infantry and cavalry regiments and black soldiers are buried in a number of other cemeteries in the county.
Thank you to the Mayor and City Council of Taneytown for recognizing Taneytown's African Americans who were willing to sacrifice their lives for freedom.
David Buie is a Taneytown resident who has a passion for Carroll County and its place in history.

Yizker-bikher (YIVO)
The Yiddish term yizker-bikher (sg., yizker-bukh) has come to refer primarily to a vast body of memorial books commemorating Jewish communities destroyed in the Holocaust, primarily from prewar Poland though also throughout Eastern Europe (similar works have been created for other parts of Europe and the Mediterranean region). Survivors and émigrés from various communities that have organized landsmanshaftn(associations of Jews from the same hometowns abroad) in the United States, Israel, and elsewhere have produced many hundreds of such books, generally in Yiddish and/or Hebrew.

Essay question 8: discussion
Write a critical summary of the introduction to Shmerke Kaczerginsky's Dos gezang fun vilner geto (Paris: Verband fun di Vilner in Frankreich, 1947). Your answer should contextualise Kaczerginski's work within the broader phenomenon of zamler-kultur in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust.
Text for Q8 is available in Appendix 3 of the Module Handbook, along with N. Feynshteyn's useful editorial preface, and a vocabulary list to help you read it.
The full text of this collection is also available on Blackboard and from the Yiddish Book Center's Steven Spielberg Library here
additional vocabulary (follow this link for a pdf file with additional information about the Feynshteyn and Kaczerginski texts)
[please also check out this page which has additional advice which you will find useful]
Through a detailed account of music making in one of the camps or ghettos of Eastern Europe during the Holocaust, write an essay on "music making in extremis". Your answer should attempt to characterise the social and political processes that attended this music making, paying particular attention to attitudes to music and musicians demonstrated both by the victims and perpetrators of the Holocaust.
What are yizker-bikher? With reference to at least one yizker-bukh in Yiddish, discuss the role music plays in these texts. How do they differ from other manifestations of Jewish memory work in relation to music in the aftermath of the Holocaust?
Essay question five: discussion
Spiritual resistance is by now a common concept in secondary writing on [the Holocaust], defining music not only as a channel through which Nazism's victims derived emotional comfort and support, but also as a life affirming survival mechanism through which they asserted solidarity in the face of persecution, the will to live, and the power of the human spirit. (Shirli Gilbert, Music in the Holocaust: Confronting Life in the Nazi Camps and Ghettos [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005], 2)
What does Gilbert mean by 'spiritual resistance' in this context? Outline some of the ways in which this notion, as used in Holocaust writing, can be critiqued in relation to music.
Essay question four: discussion
What do you understand by the term 'memory work'? How does this notion help us understand music and music making in the Holocaust and/or musical responses to it in the immediate aftermath?
Essay question three: discussion
Music is not only the subject of historical memory, but also a vehicle for the transmission of memory. (Shirli Gilbert, Music in the Holocaust: Confronting Life in the Nazi Camps and Ghettos [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005], 196)
Discuss some of the ways in which Jewish survivors of the Holocaust sought to memorialise or bear witness to music making in the ghettos and camps. What mechanisms did they use to do this and why?
Essay question two: discussion
Musicology – in its historical, structural-analytic and ethnographic expressions – has sought to deny the racial dimension. (Philip Bohlman and Ronald Radano, Music and the Racial Imagination [Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2000], 2)
To what extent have European music and race become ineluctably intertwined as a result of the Holocaust?
Even though [the newsreel images] showed the naked obscenity, the physical deterioration, the grim destruction of death, the images, in fact, were silent. Not merely because they were filmed without live sound recording, which was standard practice at the time. They were silent, above all, because they said nothing precise about the reality they showed, because they delivered confused scraps of meaning… (Jorge Semprún, L'écriture ou la vie [Paris: Gallimard ,1994])
Why do you think sound was so important for Semprún in giving life to representations of the Holocaust? What light do these claims made for sound, both during and after the Holocaust, cast on our understanding of music and music making during this period?

Warriors outgun Cavs to take 2-0 series lead
June 4, 2018 at 7:46am
Golden State's high-powered offence was too much for the Cleveland Cavaliers as the Warriors claimed a 122-103 victory in Game Two of the NBA Finals on Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant combined for 59 points in a wire-to-wire victory that puts the defending champions just two wins away from their third championship in four years.
Two-time league MVP Curry ended with nine three-pointers, an NBA Finals record, while dishing out eight assists and grabbing seven rebounds in his 33-point performance.
Despite the offensive fireworks, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said it was an improved defensive effort that led to the win.
"We just played a more intense defensive game tonight than we did in Game One," he told reporters.
"It's not about scoring, it's about the defensive intensity.
"We're happy with the way we played. But we know this is just getting started."
Surprise starter JaVale McGee ignited the home crowd by hammering down some alley-oops to give the Warriors an early lead.
Coming off a tough loss in Game One, the Cavs stayed within striking distance for most of the contest until a flurry of second-half three pointers by Curry overwhelmed the visitors and sealed the win.
LeBron James, who scored 51 points in Thursday's loss, faced a more dogged defense on Sunday but still managed 29 points on 10-20 shooting while playing nearly the entire game.
Cavaliers' forward Kevin Love provided a spark with 22 points but it was not enough to pressure the Warriors, who shot 57 percent from the field and 41 percent from behind the arc.
Cavaliers' coach Tyronn Lue said he was happy with how his team battled back from a 13-point halftime deficit to keep it a single-digit game for much of the third quarter.
"I was very proud of our guys, the way we competed in that third quarter because we could have let go of the rope down 13," he said.
"We came out, we fought. We kind of saw some things offensively that worked, so we have to continue to keep capitalizing on that."
Kerr said the Warriors would not take their series advantage for granted, especially since they blew a 3-1 lead to the Cavaliers in the 2016 Finals.
"We've been here several times, I don't think I'll need to say much," Kerr said.
"The guys in the locker room, they already know that. They know how hard it's going to be in Cleveland."

I am a snacker and I was wondering if anyone else out there is and what do you snack on besides nuts, pork rinds, etc. I like the fact that these are quick and easy. Any suggestions?
One of my favorite snacks is ham rolls. (You can do this with any meat, but ham is just my favorite this way).
Slice a couple pieces of ham about the same thinkness as it would be if you bought some lunchmeat (I use a cheese slicer - works great!). Spread as much cream cheese on them as you think you'd like (I do it kinda thick). Roll 'em up and cut them into 1 inch rolls. Chill and eat! YUMMY!
Hi, you're certainly not the only one who's wondered about snacks... These are basically lunch ideas...but some of them would work for snacks as well.
Here's a link to a previous discussion.. Hopes this helps.
Perhaps new members will have some new ideas as well.

DETROIT, June 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — The four Acura entries in this weekend's Detroit Grand Prix Presented by Lear completed a nearly perfect set of results in today's 100-minute race, with a 1-2 result for the Acura NSX GT3 and Meyer Shank Racing in the GTD class, and a 2-3 finish for Acura Team Penske and the ARX-05 prototype.
In GTD, Katherine Legge and Meyer Shank Racing successfully repeated their class win here from one year ago, but with Mario Farnbacher joining the lineup in the #86 Acura NSX GT3. Starting second, Legge challenged the leading Lamborghini of Bryan Sellers throughout the first 40 minutes. Meanwhile, Justin Marks ran a close third in the #93 MSR Acura.
At the end of her stint, in the only scheduled pit stop for the GTD cars, the MSR team repeated its successful tactic from 2017 and only changed the left-side tires on both Acuras, putting them first and second, with Farnbacher now leading in the #86 and Lawson Aschenbach second in the #93 NSX GT3.
From there, the MSR Acura pair controlled the pace of the race, with Farnbacher pulling out to a nine second victory and Aschenbach completing the first-ever 1-2 result for Meyer Shank Racing. The win moves Legge, second in the GTD Drivers' Championship, to within three points of leader Sellers; and Acura to within nine points of the Manufacturers' Championship lead.
Starting second, Acura Team Penske's Juan Pablo Montoya moved into the lead after only four laps in his #6 Acura ARX-05, with teammate Helio Castoneves running second in the sister #7 Acura. An early yellow flag for debris on Lap 11, the only caution flag of the day, resulted in both Acura Team Penske prototypes electing to make early pit stops.
On the Lap 15 restart, contact between multiple cars delayed the #6 car, now with Dane Camerondriving, and allowed Ricky Taylor in the #7 to pass. The pair ran fifth and sixth until others made their scheduled initial stops, and were running second and third after the final round of stops. Taylor reduced a seven-second lead for the Action Express Cadillac of Felipe Nasr to just over a second, but was unable to attempt a pass for the lead in the closing laps.
From the shortest race on the schedule, the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship moves on to one of the longest: the Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen, July 1 at Watkins Glen International Raceway in upstate New York.
Video recaps from this weekend's Acura racing activities in Detroit, as well as action from the companion Honda teams in the Verizon IndyCar Series doubleheader race weekend, will be posted on the "Honda Racing/HPD" YouTube channel. Produced by the Carolinas Production Group, the video packages can be found in the 2017 HPD Trackside Video Playlist.

In 2012 I made my first Tiny film, of my home city Oslo. The films are made using tilt-shift lenses and lot of still images. The effect is done in camera.
In 2013 I had the pleasure of visiting Beirut in Lebanon. I was there to shoot some Tiny footage for a TV-commercial together with producer Rafic Tamba at VIP films. I didn't know much about Lebanon before I arrived. It turned out to be one of the most beautiful countries I had visited! The commercial we shot didn't need more than 10 different miniature shots, but I ended up shooting over 100 different shots in Beirut, Byblos, Jounieh and around Lebanon which you can see in this film.
As always, the miniature effect were done in camera, with tilt-shift lenses. No filters or effects has been added in post production.

When the MGA arrived in 1955, it must have come as quite a shock to MG aficionados who had become accustomed to the pre-war look of the company's sports cars. It was a complete departure in styling and its beautiful streamlined body was right up to the minute in terms of appearance. It was powered by a new engine; MG had decided that the old XPAG unit had had its day and so introduced a much more modern B-series engine that had made its debut in the recently announced Magnette Saloon. The 'A' was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955. Only 5,869 cars were sold on the home market, giving the MGA the highest export percentage of any British car. The MGA was replaced by the MGB in May 1962.
This MGA roadster runs and drives although it is in need of restoration work. Finished in black with black interior she has all the right credentials for a good project. Parts are easily obtainable from the MGA Owners Club and the cars are simple to work on, making this an ideal winter task for a good DIY mechanic. With Austin Healey prices continuing to increase, MGA's are becoming more desirable. This example has been owned by the registered keeper for the last 16 years and is supplied with a V5C registration document and a hardtop.

Recycle-A-Bicycle's Youth Bike Summit Promotes Bike Reuse
A three-day event promoting youth bicycle advocacy and reuse issues will be held in New York City in February 2013.
Thirty-six thousand pounds of waste is certainly noticeable. Especially when it is in the form of bicycles piled high in a landfill. It equates to about 1,200 bikes, and that is the number that the Recycle-A-Bicycle program spares New York-area landfills annually with its salvage and refurbishment programs. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit is a community-based bike shop in New York City (with storefront locations in the East Village and DUMBO and an education center Long Island City, Queens) with a major focus on refurbishment, particularly when it comes to teaching today's youth the ways of conservation, hard work and eco-friendly transportation. In the past year, Recycle-A-Bicycle hosted 1,000 youth refurbishing some 500 bikes and pedaling about 10,000 miles. Recycle-A-Bicycle receives all of its bicycles through donations. Instead of heading to the dump, most of these bikes are refurbished and resold, further promoting bike riding in bike-friendly New York City. Proceeds from these sales go directly toward youth training programs, where young adults learn bike mechanics and the importance of environmental education. Those bikes received through donation that are no longer functional are stripped and recycled. Reusable parts are salvaged, while other metal parts are recycled, totaling about 12,000 pounds per year. Though the outreach is large — 500+ students and 10,000 customers and advocates — the personnel numbers are kept efficient by the dedication of volunteers. Recycle-A-Bicycle has just 12 full-time employees, coupled with 50 volunteer ride marshalls and 100 volunteer mechanics. The nonprofit hosts seven school-based programs throughout area schools, and sponsors advocacy-based initiatives and community events throughout the year in the New York area. One of its biggest events, the Youth Bike Summit, is coming up next month.
Youth Bike Summit
Recycle-A-Bicycle's Youth Bike Summit will take place from Friday, February 15 to Sunday, February 17, 2013 at the New School (66 W. 12th St.) in New York City. This three-day summit promotes youth bicycle education and advocacy, prepping youngsters to tackle important bike-transportation issues of the future. The summit offers a keynote address by Enrique Penalosa, former nayor of Bogota, Colombia, and Devlynn Chen, Local Spokes Youth Ambassador; 15 workshops; tons of hands-on activities; and a visioning session detailing work in communities around the world. To get a great idea of what to expect at the 2013 event, be sure to view Streetfilms' brief documentary video from the 2012 summit. A three-day event pass is just $20 for youths (age 22 and under) and $35 for adults. To purchase tickets, visit the summit's Eventbrite ticketing page. For more information, see the Youth Bike Summit website. To learn how to donate or volunteer to the cause, see the Recycle-A-Bicycle website. You can also "Like" the program on Facebook.

In March 2013, a profile of a 26-year-old man named Anxo from Arteixo in La Coruña appeared on the dating social network Badoo.
After a few days offline, Anxo told his girlfriend that he had had an epileptic attack at work and fallen to the floor and broken his cellphone – which was why he hadn't contacted her.
He said the attack had landed him at the Juan Canalejo Hospital in A Coruña.
The next day, pretending to be a work friend, he told her: "I have bad news.
Anxo is in a crisis and has been sent unconscious to hospital which means he can't access the money he owes you. He has to continue to pay for his special American medicine and a specialist has to come from Valencia to try to surgically intervene and install a brain electrode." She gave him another €5,000.
Recovering from the epilepsy attack, Anxo told the woman that he was going to return the money because he had inherited a large estate from his parents and received compensation when they both died in the accident.
He then said he was going to be transferred to Valencia for the specialist operation. Once in Valencia, he said he needed a medical helicopter to fly him back to Galicia. The accused faces four years in jail and has been asked to return all the money he stole from his online girlfriend, with interest, as well as €10,000 in compensation for psychological damage.
