WISCONSIN RAPIDS –The Wisconsin Rapids Community Theatre opens their third production of the season with the legal drama: Twelve Angry Jurors by Sherman Sergel, directed by John Young.
The play is based on the 1957 Emmy award-winning movie starring Henry Fonda – Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose. Twelve Angry Jurors has been slightly updated to include a mixed cast of men and women. The play is set in a jury room as the 12 jurors set out to deliberate the guilt of a 19-year-old man charged with stabbing his father to death. It seems like an open and shut case but when the verdict must be unanimous and a young man's life is on the line, not everyone is so willing to accept the evidence at face value.
Drama quickly ensues and tempers flare as the hot and tired jurors examine the evidence, re-enact the crime, and begin to re-evaluate their own ideals. The drama and suspense will have audiences on the edge of their seats wondering if a unanimous verdict can ever be reached and if so, what it will be.
A character-focused show, director John Young has deliberately opted for few set pieces and no flashy lighting or sound effects leaving the audience free to focus on the individual characters that make up the jury. The jury, as it should be, is a representation of the diversity of the American population: a working mother, a well-to-do businessman, an immigrant, someone from the "wrong side of the tracks", and other. But, as the audience listens to the jurors and discovers their personalities, they also discover some of their personal biases.
Above all, this production asks the audience to question how much our circumstances, upbringing, and environment shape the way we think and act. Can we truly leave our personal experiences out of the equation when deciding a man's fate?
The show opens Feb. 15, with performances on Feb. 15, 16, 21, 22, & 23 at 7:30 p.m. and an additional performance on Feb. 24 at 2 p.m., in the Gilbert & Jaylee Mead Auditorium at Wisconsin Rapids Community Theater located in the Centralia Center.
Tickets can be purchased that the WRCT box office, online at www.wrctheatre.org, or by calling 715-421-0435. The WRCT box office is open Tuesdays – Fridays, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m., and one hour prior to curtain on the day of the show.

Editorial: Intel CPU constraints are sign on the road to ARM chips in the Mac
Posted: May 1, 2019 7:18PM
Apple CEO Tim Cook mentioned that Apple took about a five percent hit on Mac revenues because of constraints on Intel processors, and the company can't seem to break the 10nm process barrier. The last two times that a chip supplier couldn't keep its promises, Apple made a big move to another architecture -- and this is just another sign on the road to an ARM Mac coming relatively soon.
Apple has been rumored to be moving its Macs over to running on ARM processors in part because Intel hasn't been able to keep up performance. Yet there's a whole other side to the problem and it's volume. Right now Intel can't keep up with the demand it's got.
That sounds like a good problem to have, and certainly Apple has had its fair share of demand far outstripping supply. Plus Intel has just updated its H-series processor, the one that was used in the 2018 MacBook Pro.
Only, while it's faster than it was and of course that's what both Apple and we want, it's a stopgap. This new processor is still using Intel's now aging 14-nanometer production process. Intel hasn't set a deadline for itself for a process reduction in the last five years that it didn't miss.
Where other chip producers are looking at 7nm production and smaller, even if not quite the same across the board, Intel has even had to defend its efforts to make a 10nm process. Late in 2018, rumors purportedly from sources within Intel had even claimed that the company was secretly abandoning its 10nm processor development. Intel was quick to deny everything.
Media reports published today that Intel is ending work on the 10nm process are untrue. We are making good progress on 10nm. Yields are improving consistent with the timeline we shared during our last earnings report.
-- Intel News (@intelnews)
That was in October 2018, though, and just a month before, Intel had owned up to some overall problems caused by increased demand for its processors in PCs.
"The surprising return to PC TAM [total addressable market] growth has put pressure on our factory network," wrote CFO and Interim CEO Bob Swan in an open letter. "We're prioritizing the production of Intel Xeon and Intel Core processors so that collectively we can serve the high-performance segments of the market. That said, supply is undoubtedly tight, particularly at the entry-level of the PC market."
He went on to list what Intel was doing to address this inability to keep up with demand. It included specifics such as investing an extra $1 billion into its 14nm plants in Oregon, Arizona, Ireland, and Israel. Plus he made broader claims to do with the future development of processors.
"We're making progress with 10nm," wrote Swan. "Yields are improving and we continue to expect volume production in 2019."
Intel's investments and expectations of improved supply followed after reports in September 2018 that Intel's slow production was causing it to strongly consider outsourcing its production, including to Apple A-series chip foundry TSMC. It was claimed by report sources that it was falling short of demand for 14-nanometer processors by "as much as 50 percent," with candidates including the H310 and other 300-series chipsets, some of which had allegedly suffered shortages of supply since May.
Some evidence towards the short supplies include a raise in price for its cheaper processors, while the high-end Core i7-8700K was reportedly going in and out of stock at retailers, a problem compounded by its high-end nature likely equating to lower production figures than others the firm produces.
Apple's choices made
Back in 2016, Apple released the first new case design in the MacBook Pro since the 2012 Retina MacBook Pro. As you'd expect, it was thinner and lighter than the 2012.
The MacBook Pro enclosure was very clearly designed for a roadmap that Intel set forth. Intel did crank out faster chips for the machine, sure, at the same thermal design profile (TDP). But, TDP is a measure of a chip at its rated speed, and has nothing to do with the "turbo" speeds, and the dissipation thereof.
So, what we ended up with in 2018 was the six-core i9 MacBook Pro. As shipped, the firmware wasn't up to snuff in regards to thermal control, but even after the patch, the machine still isn't all it could have been, had Intel shipped its 10nm process parts that would have less waste heat -- yes, even at turbo -- for the same processing power in 2017, like it undoubtedly promised to Apple during the 2016 chassis design process.
And then, there's "Marzipan." We've already spoken about it as some length about it being Apple's long-game gateway to ARM Macs, and won't repeat the discussion here.
Other industry doubts
Intel's biggest buyers aren't entirely buying Intel's spin on the chip shortage matter.
"[It's] unfortunate when any key component goes into shortage," said HP's CEO Dion Weisler in 2018. "There's always something in this industry, at the moment it happens to be chips from Intel." At the time, Weisler predicted shortages for the next six months and mentioned that AMD "has got a fantastic portfolio... they are really strong now."
Lenovo's Chief Operating Officer agreed with HP's assessment of the matter.
"It's going to be in my opinion probably for the next six months," said Gianfranco Lanci. "I agree that AMD is going to be a good alternative in terms of performance, it's a good alternative in terms of supply."
And, there are more complaints from other vendors. Even Microsoft has Windows for ARM -- but they did that for other reasons.
All roads point to ARM
AppleInsider has talked before about how Intel is now in the position that PowerPC was before Apple moved away from it -- and that Motorola was in before PowerPC.
Yet that was solely focusing on the weakening performance of those company's processors, and the way that their future roadmap wasn't promising. Even if Intel could make the processors that Apple wants, with the performance it wants, in the thermal envelope it needs, it isn't making them in enough volume -- and Tim Cook has specifically pointed out that Intel is failing to deliver.
We also talked about how a shift to ARM for Mac is effectively inevitable and not a cause for concern for most. And, if reports are true, many of Apple's remaining 32-bit routines aren't going to be updated to 64-bit for whatever geologic feature macOS 10.15 is called. The 32-bit "appocalypse" is heralding a 64-bit future without cruft left over from 32-bit days.
Intel literally can't make chips fast enough. But soon, Apple probably isn't going to care.

I've been through the 6502-68K, 68K-PPC and PPC-Intel switches. If there is a switch to ARM, I'm out. No bootcamp, no VM, no games at all, no professional apps, no drivers for anything.

This is actually a shame. Intel blew it with 5G, and for the past several years with the x86. Apple will jettison them like a bad habit and Intel only has itself to blame.
I do hope there is an option to run Windows as a virtual machine at a decent speed. Running Windows on a Mac was the primary (now secondary) reason I purchased my first Mac back in the day.
I don't think Apple is going to go from Intel -> AMD -> ARM.
On the other hand, it's probable that others (HP/Dell/Google/Microsoft) in PC's and Cloud will increasingly look to AMD as a credible Intel Alternative. That should free up supply for Apple long enough to make their own transition to ARM.
Intel (years ago) looked to other Foundry's to build their Atom chips. It might be time to slowly wind down their own Fountry's and increase those relationships (over the next decade).

AMD is an option, too. In the past, AMD was hamstrung by a weak fab partner (which was just its own weak spun-off fabs). But now AMD is moving to TSMC, the same fab Apple uses. And TSMC is ahead of Intel in fab process.
The advantage of going with AMD is that Apple keeps x86 compatibility which, though not essential by any means, is a feature with some value, particularly for people who need/want to run x86 Windows apps either in bootcamp or emulation. Sony and Microsoft used AMD for the PS4 and XBONE, and Sony is signing up with them again for the next playstation. Also, Apple currently uses AMD for GPUs.
The disadvantage is that despite recent improvements, AMD still lags Intel (and perhaps also Apple) in chip design. I think that if Apple were willing to expend the effort, they could design a better CPU than AMD. I'm just not sure if Apple is willing to expend the effort for the Mac.

If Intel executes 10nm chips schedule properly than it will be last Intel chips to go in Macbook/PRO. Intel in conference call said it will make 10nm ICE processors based on Lakefield packaging for one specific customer and my guess that could be Apple.

Everyone blaming Intel, yet it's Apple that insists on paper thin, fan-less laptop designs that defy physics on keeping them cool. The rest of us (Windows users) enjoy the latest and greatest chips and hardware and increasing performance with 8th and 9th gen chips. I'm fine with fans. They come on when needed, and are silent otherwise. I also like having the ability to remove a few screws and change / add more larger SSD's or memory.
10nm will be nice when it arrives, but I don't see it being Intel's fault that Apple cannot move forward in performance.

I'm in over my head knowledge wise but it stood out that Microsoft has full Windows running on ARM. Not some watered down version. Maybe emulation will be a moot point.

The MacBookPro's have rather nice fans...
There are certainly advantages to the Windows market of computers, but the reality is that relatively few actually capitalise on upgradeability and it's likely Apple decided to use their hardware design prowess to implement other nice features in light of the fact that most potential buyers won't upgrade their Macbook's anyway.
Apple doesn't design in a vacuum, and designs multi-year enclosures on promises from vendors. Like we said in the article, we know that Intel was asked about future thermal performance in 2015 and 2016. Intel was promising 10nm, and all the benefits, for early 2017, and we're also sure that some decisions were made regarding it vis a vis the enclosure in the design process.
Max Speed. Thin. Quiet. Pick two. Apple has picked thin and quiet, and has done so for very nearly a decade. It's great that you like the ability to "remove a few screws" and etc. I do as well, but the much, much larger customer base does not, and prefers thin and quiet. And, I'm sure that you see this drive for thin in the Windows market as well. The shift has been obvious for the last five years.

The only way for Apple to ensure that there are plenty of apps for the ARM-based macOS is
to make a hybrid iOS/macOS device. With the Marzipan framework, the same app can run in iOS and macOS with minimal effort. That's the only way to leverage the plethora of existing iOS apps to run in the desktop (aka ARM-based macOS) mode. Otherwise, few developers will want to develop for the ARM-based macOS.
By the way, the ARM-based Macs will only happen with lower-end Macs, such as MacBook and perhaps MacBook Air. The MacBook Pros will continue to be intel-based for a foreseeable future.

It is Intel's fault 100%. Intel provided Apple, HP, Lenvo and others with the product map. specs, information and timelines for what they planned to make and when, so that they all could build new harder to take of advantage of Intels 'advanced' chips in designing their new hardware and now Intel can't deliver the goods.

Windows is driving in the same direction. They even have a version of Windows running on ARM. Don't jump off a bridge yet.

I'd go AMD in a heartbeat. They don't run that cool though. I have an 1800x desktop and it is a fine performer for an incredible price.
Can arm hit those kind of performance numbers? I'm asking honestly - I've seen incredible ios benchmarks but that's apples/oranges.
JWSC Posts: 1,202member
There's a potential play here for Apple with Intel.
1) Intel is in a weakened position with their capitulation in 5G modems and falling behind in wafer fab technologies. 2) Apple apparently doesn't get first dibs on chips coming out of Intel.
They could either walk away from each other or...
If Apple were to throw, let's say, $5B at Intel to build a new state of the art 7 nm plant, Apple could ask for and almost certainly get preference in first shipments for the next few years ahead of its PC frenemies. This keeps Apple in the same architecture as the PC club but puts them at the front of the line when it comes to processor shipments alleviating supply constraints. Not saying it will happen but it's just a thought.
crimguy said:
The issue isn't ARM per se, the issue is whether firms designing ARM-based CPUs are willing/able to make the level of investment needed to match Intel and AMD. I believe that Apple is absolutely capable of meeting or beating Intel and AMD. The real question is whether they are willing to spend the time and money to do it when, really, they don't have to.
But there's no technical limitation preventing an ARM CPU from competing with an x86 CPU.
sweetheart777 Posts: 64member
Here's what's going to happen...
Apple will take the Mac's to ARM, alongside their new technology that allows a custom-modified AMD processor to run x86-64 code, but still thunk everything over to ARM for actual processing. Since they won't be literally emulating the x86, Intel can't sue.
Now that Intel has bailed on 5G (and the iPhone remains FAR more important than the Mac), there's no reason for Apple to kowtow to Intel.
Apple may buy AMD since they're already heavily into their GPU's for Macs...less likely they'll buy Intel because they don't want to be in the server business.

You can indeed buy a Windows 10 ARM machine right now, they are typically very cheap machines to compete with Chromebooks. However, Windows 10 Intel PCs are going nowhere. If Apple does (eventually...) go the ARM / AMD graphics route, the Intel / nVidia combination in PCs would offer significant advantages for many users.
The possibility also exists for Apple to develop its own x86 chips. They certainly have the people capable of doing the work.

Do you need help getting motivated? And help to stay motivated? We often wait to get started on projects or activities until we are motivated. But the 'I'll start when I'm motivated' is leaving us stuck and stagnant. That's because it's momentum that builds motivation—not being still. Stillness stifles. Momentum motivates. Once you get going on your next project or new activity the motivation that you've been looking for will build as you grow the muscle of your work. To stay motivated, momentum is the key.
Don't wait on getting motivated to get moving. Your movement will grow the motivation.
Start anywhere and keep pushing onward.
Momentum builds motivation. People feel stuck. But the best source of motivation comes from momentum. Could you start right now, today to help you build motivation?
How can I stay motivated? It's not about motivational quotes or motivational speeches. Action is where the magic is, no matter what your motivation definition happens to be. Momentum builds motivation. Stillness stifles.
So don't wait for motivation like you're waiting for the muse to visit you. Take a hard look at what you want to accomplish and figure out at least one single, concrete to do that will move you forward toward realization of the goal. It can be small. It can be making a call to commit to working out with a friend. Or downloading a workout plan and printing it out. Do one thing to move in the right direction toward the goal and let the power of momentum begin to seep in.

What would that glorious The Force Awakens trailer look like if George Lucas went back and fiddled with it, as he so loves to do?

text: Senators Coons and Tillis and a group of Representatives recently proposed an admirable piece of legislation to amend the Patent Act to abrogate Supreme Court Section 101 cases on patent eligible subject matter. I like that they propose a fix to Section 101. So far, so good. Alice was an interpretation of Mayo, which was an interpretation of Flook, which was an interpretation of Benson, which was supposed to be an interpretation of what Congress meant by the short and crisp statement of Section 101 of the Patent Act. But just as a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy gets more distorted with each generation, so did Supreme Court rulings. The judicially-invented residue left behind not only errs by failing to capture the plain and unambiguous scope of Section 101 and patent-eligible subject matter, but also catastrophically undermines and invalidates important patents that, until then, protected breakthrough inventions. Congress is right to step in. Inventors of breakthroughs need protections to form companies and create new jobs. What the senators propose is not perfect, but at least as far as Section 101 is concerned, will restore fairness to many future outcomes.But there's an extra bit. To call it alarming would be an understatement. That extra bit would sharply and sweepingly limit the property rights of all technology patents. The proposal (as currently drafted) amends Section 112 to require any patent claim limitation that names any function "without the recital of a structure, material or act in support thereof" to be

"They Dream Only Of America"
They dream only of America
To be lost among the thirteen million pillars of grass:
"This honey is delicious
Though it burns the throat."
And hiding from darkness in barns
They can be grownups now
And the murderer's ash tray is more easily--
The lake a lilac cube.
He holds a key in his right hand.
"Please," he asked willingly.
He is thirty years old.
We could drive hundreds of miles
At night through dandelions.
When his headache grew worse we
Stopped at a wire filling station.
Now he cared only about signs.
Was the cigar a sign?
And what about the key?
He went slowly into the bedroom.
"I would not have broken my leg if I had not fallen
Against the living room table. What is it to be back
Beside the bed? There is nothing to do
For our liberation, except wait in the horror of it.
And I am lost without you."
For the first time, The New York Poets gathers in a single volume the best work of four extraordinary poets: Frank O'Hara, John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, and James Schuyler. By the early 1950s all four were settled in Manhattan, collaborating, competing and encouraging each other's radical experiments with language and form. Much of their work reflects their participation in the creative energies of the New York art scene, 'the floods of paint', to quote James Schuyler, 'in whose crashing surf we all scramble'. Believing that anything could be material for a poem, they transformed American poetry with their irreverent wit and daring.
Mark Ford's anthology is an essential introduction to four poets whose work has influenced poetry around the world. It includes detailed background information and a substantial bibliography.

Praise for John Ashbery 'I'll keep returning to The Wave, knowing that each time I do, I'll connect with poems, and lines in poems, I haven't noticed before and recconect with those that have resonated already'
Pam Thompson, The North
'John Ashbery's final collection of poetry disguises itself well as a mid-career high. The energy and modernity of his strange little worlds tell nothing of his age.'
Stand Magazine
'More than a century after Arthur Rimbaud composed his Illuminations they are reborn in John Ashbery's magnificent translation. It is fitting that the major American poet since Hart Crane and Wallace Stevens should give us this noble version of the precursor of all three.'
'A fine collection of poems rooted in 21st-century America.'
Robert McCrum, The Observer
'Quick Question, with the hushed intensity of its music and great lyric beauty, could only be Ashbery.'
Ian Thomson, Financial Times The book invites the reader to poetic gluttony. It serves as a corrective to the monoglot provincialism by which the Anglophone world is still bedevilled.
Sean O'Brien, Independent 'The lyrics in Breezeway, a new collection by the octogenarian poet John Ashbery are as good as his finest. I especially like the final poem, poignantly reprising the last line of Keats' Ode to a Nightingale', "Do I wake or sleep?"'
Salley Vickers, The Observer - The New Review, 29.11.2015.
'John Ashbery's Collected Poems 1956-1987, edited by Mark Ford (Carcanet), was a book I found inexhaustible. Possibly the greatest living English-speaking poet and one of the most prolific, Ashbery takes language to its limits, so that words serve as pointers to shifting experiences that elude description. Containing his masterpiece 'Self-Portrait In A Convex Mirror', one of the most penetrating 20th-century meditations on what it means to be human, this collection succeeded in stirring my thoughts as well as delighting me.'
John Gray The Guardian Books Of The Year 2010
'The careering, centrifugal side of Girls on the Run is one of its most effective tools in creating its special ainbience of good-humoured menace ... Ashbery has made the slush of signification, the realm where words slip, slide, perish and decay, uniquely his own.'
David Wheatley, Times Literary Supplement, 30 June, 2000
'In his seventies John Ashbery offers a sprightly and energetic alternative. Instead of being sluggish he demands that the self must be even more alert, more vigilant, more attentive to the world around it, not indifferent to and weary of it. Alert, vigilant, attentive ... Wakefulness, the brilliantly evocative title of Ashbery's collection.'
Stephen Matterson, 'The Capacious Art of Poetry,' Poetry Ireland Review 62, 114
'The Mooring of Starting Out is filled with illustrations glimpsed through luminous, funny, formidably intelligent and often heartbreaking poems.'
Andrew Zawacki, 'A wave of music,' Times Literary Supplement, 12 June, 1998
Praise for Frank O'Hara '... a remarkable new poetry - both modest and monumental, with something basically usable about it - not only for poets in search of a voice of their own but for the reader who turns to poetry as a last resort in trying to juggle the contradictory components of modern life into something like a liveable space.'
John Ashbery 'O'Hara's hip, glamorous, freewheeling self-celebrations both reflected and helped disseminate a new kind of confidence and daring in American poetry.' Mark Ford
Frank O'Hara reads 'Ode to Joy' (2:27 mins)


Without introducing the topic, start with the Wildfire exercise then follow with the Learning About Hygiene session.
Based on the community you are in, you may want to focus on the issue of access to clean water and soap. If this is not readily available, part of the activity could be about discussing where there is access to clean water facilities.
To understand how personal hygiene effects health.
Instruct the girls to sit in a circle and close their eyes. Tap four to five girls on the shoulder.
The girls should walk around and shake hands with one another. Explain that the girls who were tapped should discreetly scratch the hand of anyone whose hand they shake.
Once a person's hand has been scratched, she too must scratch the hands she shakes.
End the game after a few minutes.
Call the girls together and count how many were scratched.
Explain that germs spread in the same way. A small number of people who are ill can make many other people ill.
Lead a discussion based on the notes to the right.
Ask girls to look at how many of them were 'infected' in just a few minutes and to think about how many germs they are exposed to in an entire day.
Make two columns labelled 'true' and 'false' on a large piece of paper.
Divide the girls into two groups.
Give each group a statement and ask whether each is true or false.
Get one participant from the group to come and paste the statement in the right column on the paper ('true' or 'false').
The groups should discuss each statement and why it is true or false.
Close by highlighting that the way other people do things is not necessarily the correct way. Explain the importance of washing hands frequently, especially when sick, after using the bathroom and after coughing or sneezing into your hands. Highlight that the better personal hygiene a person has, the less chance there is that they will become sick and that they can serve as role models for the younger children.

Obama Issues Cybersecurity Executive Order
President Calls on Congress to Enact IT Security Legislation Eric Chabrow (GovInfoSecurity) • February 12, 2013
President Obama has signed the long-awaited executive order directing the U.S. federal government to share cyberthreat information with critical infrastructure owners. The order also requires the government to work with business to develop IT security best practices that infrastructure owners could voluntarily adopt.
In his State of the Union address, Obama said America must face the rapidly growing threat from cyber-attacks. "We know hackers steal people's identities and infiltrate private e-mail," the president said. "We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets. Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions and our air traffic control systems. We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy.
"That's why, earlier today, I signed a new executive order that will strengthen our cyberdefenses by increasing information sharing, and developing standards to protect our national security, our jobs and our privacy. But now, Congress must act as well, by passing legislation to give our government a greater capacity to secure our networks and deter attacks. This is something we should get done on a bipartisan basis."
'Down Payment'
Senior administration officials, in a briefing held hours before Obama's Feb. 12 address, said the president issued the executive order because lawmakers failed to enact a significant IT security legislation in the 112th Congress. One senior administration official characterized the executive order as a "down payment" toward more comprehensive cybersecurity legislation.
"At this point, the prospect for [passage of] a bill remains uncertain, and given the level of risk, the administration is in a position where it has to take some action," the senior administration official said. "I want to emphasize the point that an executive order is not a substitute for legislation, and it's not the end of a conversation. In fact, it's actually really just a continuation of it."
Preventing Catastrophic Events
The executive order applies to critical infrastructures in which a cyber-incident could have a catastrophic impact on public health or safety, economic security or national security. The order charges the homeland security secretary to lead a process using a risk-based approach to determine which businesses should be deemed critical infrastructure.
Entitled Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, the executive order:
Creates new, real-time information sharing programs that would provide American companies with classified and unclassified cyberthreat information. The order establishes procedures to expedite the processing of security clearances to appropriate personnel employed by critical infrastructure operators.
Directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology to collaborate with industry to develop a framework of cybersecurity best practices to reduce risk to critical infrastructure. The framework would rely on existing international standards, practices and procedures that have proven to be effective. One example of a best practice would be the use of authentication in identifying those who could gain access to high-risk systems. Infrastructure owners would not be compelled to adopt the framework.
Requires strong privacy and civil liberties protections based on the Fair Information Practice Principles, widely accepted guidelines to assure that practices are fair and provide adequate privacy protections.
Establishes a voluntary program to promote the adoption of the cybersecurity framework. The Department of Homeland Security will work with sector-specific agencies such as the Department of Energy and the sector coordinating councils to develop a program to assist companies with implementing the cybersecurity framework and to identify incentives for adoption.
Calls for a review of existing cybersecurity regulation. Regulatory agencies will use the cybersecurity framework to assess their cybersecurity regulations, determine if existing requirements are sufficient and whether any existing regulations can be eliminated as no longer effective.
One-Way Sharing
At the heart of the executive order is the sharing of threat information. Most of the information sharing would be one way: from government to business. That's because existing laws limit the type of information businesses can share due to antitrust laws. Also, companies might be reluctant to share information that might prompt a lawsuit from shareholders, competitors, customers or other stakeholders. Those types of protections can be provided only by statute.
"There's a fairly unsubstantial list of things that you cannot do through an executive order that needs statutory changes," the senior administration official said. "That's why it is so important for us to emphasize that this is really a down payment on that legislative process and that we will need to continue to work with Congress to actually get to cybersecurity legislation."
The executive order also does not address how the federal government governs its own IT security. Legislation would be needed to update the Federal Information Security Management Act, such as eliminating the requirement for paper compliance and replacing it with an automated process to identify vulnerabilities.
Partisan Response
Reaction to the executive order depended, in part, on party affiliation. "No executive order can possibly do what needs to be done to protect our networks and our nation," Rep. Mac Thornberry, the House Republican's point man on cybersecurity, said in a statement. "It also cannot take the place of legislation. Strengthening cybersecurity must be collaborative and bipartisan. The only way we are going to be able to move forward is with the House, Senate and administration working together and taking steps to make progress on cybersecurity."
Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., the new chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, characterized the executive order's voluntary framework and information sharing improvements as vital components of ensuring the security and resiliency of the nation's critical infrastructure. "I commend the administration for using existing authorities in our ongoing fight against this growing threat," said Carper, whose committee provides IT security oversight. "That being said, more action is needed to address cybersecurity and I still believe that legislation offers the best long-term solution."
Still, the senior administration official said the White House didn't see the executive order as too little, too late. "From our perspective," the official said, "we're actually moving out. This is a significant accomplishment for the administration to get this executive order out the door and get the process initiated. Yes, the best time to plant an oak tree was 50 years ago, but we are where we are. The next best time is now."

I've been thinking about my boss a lot today. Hopefully, I will see him for a few minutes tomorrow, along with a couple of people I work with. That is our plan, anyway. He is very sick and, I fear, near the end of his illness. I used to go into a real tailspin over things like this, questioning my faith and why it is that God would allow such things to happen? I don't do that so much anymore, because I have spent a little time in God's Word and know that we live in a fallen world where the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). There is a great comfort to be had in the latter part of that verse, because it tells us that we have a gift coming our way.

That Time Lady Moody's House Was In a Movie
It absolutely floored me. It was Sunday, seven years ago. Or maybe eight. I lay slumped on the sofa thumbing a book. TCM murmured on the television. I dozed more than I read, and only half-eyed the screen. Whichever classic film was on had ended, and some black-and-white short followed it to fill the hour. I yawned and counted the pages left to go. Suddenly, a tenor, warbling the sappiest ballad I'd ever heard — words about truth or love or hearts or death above a trembling piano — snapped me awake. I often wonder what made me focus when I did. Thinking back, it could only have been the ghosts of Gravesend whispering "Look up. Look up, and see." Behind the singer pictures flashed, still images of bathers in the surf, drinkers in a bar. They looked like magic lantern slides, those photographs on glass that Victorians projected on parlor walls. And this is the one that floored me:
The image glowed for all of four seconds before the next slide popped up. By the time I realized what I'd seen it was gone. But through the magic of DVR I rewound the film and paused on the image. There was no doubt: it was Lady Moody's House, the building still standing at 27 Gravesend Neck Road (currently for sale and due for designation review by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on October 8, 2015). What the heck was it doing in this movie?
I started the film from the beginning and learned it was "The Nickelette," a 1932 Warner Bros. production poking fun at the early movie-going experience of the nickelodeon: "When movies were silent and money talked, a nickel bought an evening's entertainment. Let's enter one of these ancient nickelettes." Eddy Gilligan, the "silver tone tenor," belts out the melodramatic 1913 hit, "The Curse of an Aching Heart" (music by Al Piantadosi; lyrics by Henry Fink), to underscore fifteen appropriately old-fashioned, if unrelated, pictures. The Moody House slide comes twelfth.
At the time, I managed to find the film online. I saved it and shared it with some fellow Gravesend fanatics (we're a small but noble group). But then I put it out of mind. That was several computer crashes ago. I lost the file and the emails in which I had shared it. (I since back up regularly to that white, puffy cloud.) I even forgot the title of the film.
Recently I recalled one of the people with whom I shared the news and he had, incredibly, preserved my message. The link to the online version of the film is defunct, but now it is available on DVD, part of a six-disc set in the Warner Bros. Archive Collection called Vitaphone Cavalcade of Musical Comedy Shorts. I bought it, naturally, and captured the screen shot seen here (for which I pray the Warner Bros. honchos won't sue me!).
P.S. 95 does not appear to the left of the house; it was constructed in 1914-15, so the image had to have been made earlier. Still, it must date from after 1905, by when William and Isabelle Platt, owners of the house, had added dormer windows to the second floor. Compare the screen capture with a positively identified view of the building in the collection of the Brooklyn Historical Society, taken at a slightly later date, and you'll agree it's the same house:
This lantern slide of the Hicks-Platt House (a.k.a. Lady Moody's House) is dated circa 1905, but it must be later, since P.S. 95, constructed in 1914-15, looms to the left. {Collection of the Brooklyn Historical Society.}
But the question remains: How did this picture of Lady Moody's House wind up in a movie? I have a theory. One of the early twentieth-century occupants of the house was an actress, Carlota Cole — sometimes spelled "Carlotta," and sometimes known by her stage name, "Charlotte Townsend" — who lived there with her brother, Bert, between 1912 and the early 1920s. (Bert M. Cole bought the house from the Platts.) As this write-up from the Brooklyn Eagle attests, Carlota enjoyed some popularity, and even worked with John Drew Jr. (1853 – 1927), uncle to John, Ethel and Lionel Barrymore (hence Drew Barrymore's name):
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Wednesday 10 March 1909, p. 20, col. 6.
I haven't found evidence of it yet, but it is entirely possible that Carlota also worked for Vitagraph Studios, the pioneering movie company founded in Brooklyn in 1897. The Vitagraph lot was in South Greenfield, a forgotten neighborhood in the vicinity of Avenue M and the Brighton Line (today's B/Q subway). In her history of the Wyckoff-Bennett Homestead, Living in a Landmark (Francestown, N.H., 1980, p. 116), Gertrude Ryder Bennett recalled how the "dunes, beaches, woodlands, quiet lanes and country homes" of southern Brooklyn served as locations for Vitagraph films:
One year, the company built the fronts of several houses on the shore of Gerritsen's mill pond. Time disintegrated them[,] but while they stood, the people in our neighborhood walked there with box cameras after the actors had finished work, and posed in doorways pretending to be popular movie stars. . . . Around these little false-front shacks the mill pond made an exquisite wilderness background with its great willow trees close to the water's edge and miles of meadow land stretching beyond the pond. Today that site, filled in, is the baseball field of Marine Park on the north side of Avenue U surrounded by an urban community.
Vitagraph even shot a scene on the porch of the Wyckoff-Bennett Homestead (Gertrude believed it was from The Prisoner of Zenda). Isn't it possible that they also used the Lady Moody House as a backdrop for some other project? Warner Bros. bought the Vitagraph Company in 1925. Could this lantern slide have been among the stock? A leftover promotional still from some forgotten flicker? And just the sort of nostalgic image needed for making "The Nickelette?"
Carlota Cole does not appear in the "Vitagraph Family" list of actors in Anthony Slide's The Big V: A History of the Vitagraph Company (Metuchen, N.J.: The Scarecrow Press, Inc., revised edition, 1987), so maybe that isn't her, dressed in white, on the arm of her beau at the picket fence. But these are clearly actors, posed, perhaps, as newlyweds about to cross the threshold. (Or maybe he's trying to stop her departure?) And it is unmistakably the house. In any case, isn't it wonderful that I looked up when I did to catch it? Who else would have noticed?

Elizabeth Gaskell was born Elizabeth Stevenson on 29 September 1810. Gaskell was the eighth and last of her parents' children, however only she and her brother John survived infancy. After her mother died in childbirth her Unitarian minister father sent her to live with her Aunt in Cheshire.
Much of Elizabeth's childhood was spent in Cheshire, where she lived with her Aunt in Knutsford, a town she would later immortalise as 'Cranford'. They lived in a large red brick house, Heathwaite, on Heathside (now Gaskell Avenue), which faces the large open area of Knutsford Heath.
She also spent some time in Newcastle upon Tyne and in Edinburgh. It was during this period, Gaskell met and married William Gaskell, the minister at Cross Street Unitarian Chapel, who had a literary career of his own.

Q: Разбор рекурсии числа ряда Фибоначчи Добрый вечер. Не могу понять действия рекурсивной функции при нахождении числа Фибоначчи.
 int f(int n)
 {
     if (n==1 || n==2)
         return 1;
     if (n==0)
         return 0;
    return f(n-1)+f(n-2);
 }
 int main()
 {
     cout<<f(6)<<endl;
     return 0;
 }

В функции f(n-1) после "прохождения" компилятором всех значений переменной n (от 6 до 3), в f(2) возвращаемым значением является единица. Вопрос: как ЭТО возвращаемое значение влияет на следующее действие, то есть действие с f(3), затем возвращаемое значение f(3) на f(4) и так далее?

A: Тут все просто - только не пользуйтесь на практике: f(50) не дождетесь...
Формула какая? f(n) = f(n-1)+f(n-2). Это определение чисел. Далее, f(1)==f(2)==1. Все.
А для примера посчитаем
f(5) = f(4) + f(3)

f(4) вызывает f(3) и f(2), f(3) - f(2) и f(1):
f(4) = f(3) + f(2);  f(3) = f(2) + f(1);

f(3) в левой части опять вызовет f(2) и f(1). А они уже не вызывают никого, возвращая 1. Идем назад:
f(3) = 1+1 = 2; f(4) = 2+1 = 3; f(5) = 3+2 = 5;

Вернулись к f(5). Все.

A: Во-первых, числа Фибоначчи вычисляются для неотрицательных чисел, поэтому параметр следует объявить по крайней мере как имеющий тип unsigned int.
Функцию можно написать короче. Например
#include <iostream>

unsigned int fibonacci( unsigned int n )
{
    return n < 2 ? n : fibonacci( n - 2 ) + fibonacci( n - 1 );
}

int main()
{
    const unsigned int N = 10;

    for ( unsigned int i = 0; i < N; i++ )
    {
        std::cout << i << ": " << fibonacci( i ) << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

Вывод данной программы выглядит следующим образом
0: 0
1: 1
2: 1
3: 2
4: 3
5: 5
6: 8
7: 13
8: 21
9: 34

Рекурсивный вызов функции можно представить следующим образом
fibonacci( 6 ) = fibonacci( 5 ) + fibonacci( 4 )
fibonacci( 5 ) = fibonacci( 4 ) + fibonacci( 3 )
fibonacci( 4 ) = fibonacci( 3 ) + fibonacci( 2 )
fibonacci( 3 ) = fibonacci( 2 ) + fibonacci( 1 )
fibonacci( 2 ) = fibonacci( 1 ) + fibonacci( 0 )
fibonacci( 1 ) = 1
fibonacci( 0 ) = 0

Или можно представить в виде дерева, где листья будут вызовами для функции с аргументами 0 или 1, так как эти вызовы более не вызывают функцию рекурсивно

Если просуммировать, например, для левой ветки, начинающейся с числа 4, то получим, что Fibonacci( 4 ) равно (будем использовать симметричный обход дерева)
( 0 + 1 ) +  ( 1 + ( 0 + 1 ) ) == 3

You have an account with Paypal to sell your software downloads. Every once in awhile you get a notice that a customer complains that they didn't get the software they paid for. Paypal has refunded them.
But your records and email history shows that you definitely did give them their software download! Developer, You have been ripped off and the dirty rotten scammer just got your software for free! No way!
So you go to Paypal to complain about it, file some dispute, get it straightened out. Have you ever tried to complain to Paypal? First of all, their contact info is conspicuously missing from their site. The only way you can get a number to call is through Paypalsucks.com - unbelievable, right?
You will reach a knowledgeable person eventually, and they will be sympathetic, but you will not get the money back. And if you actually do file a complaint, they will send it to the bank, who will decline your appeal and further withdraw like $20 for the processing of your complaint.

What?! You are now losing money on your software sales!?!

Many customers even trust Paypal over SSL, merchant account driven, server-side validated forms on your website.

Software vendors must adapt and meet the challenge if we want to use Paypal!
Codelock Tracker protects independent software vendors!
With Codelock Tracker, you can download your scripts with the confidence that you won't get ripped off. Why?

'Dark Horse Presents #6:' Advance Comic Book Review
Now's the time to buy Dark Horse Presents again with Issue #6 (nee #199). As it proclaims on the cover page, it's the 2014 Best Anthology for the Eisner Award, Harvey Award, and Stumptown Comic Arts Award. That's some heavy baggage to carry on any flight. It's like being told you're going to get a comfortable, hassle-free flight to anywhere ever these days. I'll believe it when it happens. Consider me a believer; I couldn't put this issue down.
'Conan Red Sonja #1' – Advance Comic Book Review
Gail Simone (Secret Six, Wonder Woman) and Jim Zub (Skullkickers, Makeshift Miracles) spin a simple tale that goes where a typical story normally wouldn't go but exactly where you want it to go when it's Conan Red Sonja. It's not an origin story, but a meet-cute (as it were) between these two characters long before they are to become the legends they will be. They're really kind of jerks with a swaying sense of allegiance. If you've ever seen Zatoichi vs. Yojimbo (Japanese film starring the individual films' titles characters), you hope that these anti-hero antics will continue until they match that level of brilliance.
'Lone Wolf and Cub Omnibus Volume 7:' Advance TPB Review
Really? Are you sure you've never heard of Lone Wolf and Cub? This is one of the most definitive comic books in Japanese history – in all of comic book history. It is a true classic. First released in 1970, there have been six films, four plays, a televisions series (Thank you, Wikipedia – seriously, donate some money to them.), and is, as far as I'm concerned, a masterpiece, high art, and fricking awesome.
'Drug and Drop Volume 1:' Advance TPB Review
I wrote an entire review for this and am scrapping it, because I realized something: Drug and Drop is not written for me. It's not written so that a 36-year-old American male can understand it. I'm not even close to its target audience.
So, much to my Managing Editor's frustration, I'm submitting an entirely new review.
'The Woods #9:' Advance Comic Book Review
The Woods is created and written by James Tynion IV. I know him from his excellent work on Batman and Batman Eternal with Scott Snyder, both phenomenally well-told series. He has his creator-owned title, The House in the Wall, and from the looks of it, he also has a Wonder Woman title coming out soon. I have been looking for a good time to jump into The Woods to see what tales Tynion spins on his own, and Issue #9 promised to be a good time to jump into the mix. So, I did.
'Lady Killer #1:' Advance Comic Book Review
Josie Schuller is a lady and she's a killer, so the title tells us and so it is. This new book from Dark Horse Comics falls in line with their brand of comics, offbeat and edgy. Written by Joelle Jones and Jamie S. Rich, who previously worked together on Oni Press' 12 Reasons Why I Love Her, You Have Killed Me, and Spell Checkers, the offbeat nature of Lady Killer makes for a fun read.
'Abigail and the Snowman #1:' Comic Book Review
Abigail is new to town. Her only friend is her invisible dog Claude. As in most cases, and I was on the receiving end of this often while growing up, new kids aren't treated very well by other kids. Also, Abigail's dad has lost the job he just got but claims to be a great electrician, so his attention is suddenly focused on finding employment. With Abigail's birthday coming soon, things aren't looking up for her. Until she meets a Yeti at the local park.
'Big Trouble in Little China #7:' Comic Book Review
I picked up Big Trouble in Little China #1 a while back and wasn't sold. I'm a huge fan of the film. I watched it every day over the course of a summer one year in my youth, but with the first issue from BOOM! Studios, they lost me in the first five pages.
I was curious to come back to it at Issue #7, and, I have to say, it's managed to pull a complete 180. We find Jack and Wang searching for Egg, who has been kidnapped by exactly the kind of creature-being you want to see in a Big Trouble in Little China story – the Seven-Headed Widow! Jack's rat-a-tat speech rhythms are put to outstanding use. He's still a stumbling buffoon whose two main personality attributes are charisma and bravery, and little else.

'The Interview:' Movie Review
I should be reading a comic right now or going to bed, but I just saw the new film from writer/directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. The same team that brought you This is the End, Pineapple Express, and Superbad. (Though not officially one of their films, Neighbors was extremely funny.) All hilarious movies. Unless you're deaf to the world around you, you've heard of their newest outing, The Interview, a studio comedy that has accidentally found itself becoming a beacon for the Second Amendment, a cultural phenomenon, rising to the ranks of folk hero cult status, which it most likely wouldn't have received otherwise. But, as we sat in the local, indie theatre (Yo, Cinefamily!), the energy in the room was palpable, curiosity was high, and, once the film started, no one stopped laughing. So, maybe it would have reached some of those levels. This was probably my favorite comedy experience in a theatre since watching Young Frankenstein in a room full of fans. Everybody knew what they wanted, and they got it. Everyone in that theatre simply connected as a community and found synchronicity.
'Judge Dredd #26:' Comic Book Review
My last experience with Judge Dredd was the Karl Urban film. Ugh, again, I thought, another rebooted film franchise. Thankfully, that opinion changed when I saw it on DVD, and I was immediately bummed that I didn't see Dredd in the movie theatre, because it was awesome. In the 33 pages of the book that is Judge Dredd #26, I can see that the comic has the same level of awesome going for it, but things have changed for Dredd.

US Open 2016- the World no. 1 in Men's Singles is at stake
by Priti Srivastava 29th August 2016
The current no. 1 in Men's Singles, Serbia's Novak Djokovic looks vulnerable with a wrist injury giving ray of hope to others to climb the spot after US Open 2016. Among all the top players like Nadal, Roger, Murray and Djokovic it is Andy Murray who is looking to dethrone Djokovic from the numero uno of tennis rankings. The battle is turning towards an uncertainty where it could be anyone's crown for the last grand slam of 2016.
With 23.49cr as the prize money for men's singles' winner there is lot more at stake than just money. With consecutive Olympic Champion and Wimbledon title winner, Andy Murray is looking for his career's best in this edition of US Open. As many top players are struggling with injuries the battle in men's singles has turned in a way where Murray is winning alone in the race. While Djokovic has admitted that he is not 100% fit one can expect his early exit from the tournament.
The fab four of Nadal, Murray, Djokovic and Federer have led the pack for past two decades giving no chance to others to come in front. Now that except Murray all others are facing injury it will be difficult to predict even the semi-finalists, you may see all the four slots in the semis taken by new faces. With nothing to lose all the players will be giving their best shot at the court.
It is never been about the money when it comes to Grand Slam it is more about the pride and glory attached to the title that carries forever. The wind of change is here in men's singles championship where there is no assurance for Djokovic repeating history. Every player would like to end the year with a grand slam win but tennis may see the dawn of new era in US Open 2016.
