A story presented by Foundwell
Scene 1:
'Morning'
It was a bright cold day with glassy surfaces that looked hard.
Into the square frame he stood as if in a dream.
What emerged was precisely what he expected to find: a reflection of memory images. Contemplating his face in the photo frame he waited.
1960s lucite and chrome 3 image photo frame
By the steady hands of his watch, he listened to time. Every day for the past sixteen days he saw her. Silver lingered in the crease of
an open book.
Rolex burlwood dial, Jubilee bracelet Miniature
oar English university trophy, sterling silver.
So absorbed in his thoughts
he hardly saw the platinum catch-all, the key, or the revelation locked inside those lapis lazuli cufflinks tossed unmistakably in cold blue.
Hans Hanson catch-all. Mid-century, Danish sterling silver. Stirrup money clip, by Hermès. Padlock keyring, sterling silver " Tie bar-slide " Round lapis lazuli cufflinks" Square cufflinks, two tone rose and yellow gold, diamond."
Only by whirling on his heel could he hope to comprehend
the panorama.
Shoe horn, circa 1930. American sterling silver
'Noon'
He remained.Trapped in that enormous room,
unmistakably familiar in feeling yet so peculiar.
Above the mantle was
displayed an Austrian hound
of impeccable integrity.
Hagenauer sculpture, 1930
His gaze fell on the letter opener. By accident she had learnt more about his life from the contents of that letter than anywhere.
Dunhill letter opener with lighter top, circa 1950
Cleopatra's eye reflected
the sun. Through the hypnotism
of precious metals there
emerged a dark slender shadow.
Cleopatra's eye magnifying glass. Mid-century, gold plated
Hermès weighted pen. Silver plated.
A lighter presented itself, smooth to the touch
it gave the impression of
intelligent company.
Table lighter St Dupont, circa 1960. Gold plate
'Evening'
All this time light was receding from the room.
"I should explain why I spend so much time here", said the silhouette. Leaves moved like shadows across her eyes.
Hermès rope bottle opener. Plated silver.
It's not too late to turn back. Time moved with faint sounds.
Venini hourglass. Hand-blown lurid Murano glass.
He unscrewed the telescopic cup, rolled and remained still. Black eyes on the dice prophesied a new cycle.
Telescopic cup, J. E. Cauldwell. Gold plated. Dice,
Cartier for America. Vitreous enamel glass, silver
Staring down at the varnished surface her mouth worried him while her eyes examined the gold cufflink.
Audemar Piguet evening watch. gold plated, Roman dial, alligator strap
'Night'
Everything went crashing black.
Pale graceful hands placed
the gold stud box delicately
on the table.
Men's Edwardian jewellery box, 1910. Gold plated.
Mid-century British cigar ashtray. Sterling silver and crystal.
He lit a match to make sure the watch had really stopped. Smoke lingered from its vesta case.
Realist wrapped tobacco leaf march vesta. Silver.
As the travel clock neared
one the figure vanished into dappled shadows.
Art Deco Jaeger LeCoultre travel clock.
Gold and silver plated. Retailed by Aspray.
On the newly varnished table two bronze shot cups sat alive like in a dream.
Tooth shot cup by Foundwell. Bronze and silver plated.
Set of 4, 3 silver 1 gold. Heath & Midleton champagne decanters circa 1900.
Sterling silver and glass.

Boeing B-47 Stratojet Model
A table model of a Boeing B-47 Stratojet made in aluminum. The Stratojet was introduced after World War II by the United States Air Force as the Iron Curtain fell, and the Cold War began. Its purpose was to be a high altitude, long range nuclear bomber traveling at subsonic speed, with the capability to hit targets in the Soviet Union. The USAF Strategic Air Command operated B-47 Stratojets (B-47s, EB-47s, RB-47s and YRB-47s) from 1951 through 1965.
By 1956, the U.S. Air Force had 28 wings of B-47 bombers and five wings of RB-47 reconnaissance aircraft. The bombers were the first line of America's strategic nuclear deterrent, often operating from forward bases in the UK, Morocco, Spain, Alaska, Greenland and Guam. B-47s were often set up on "one-third" alert, with a third of the operational aircraft available sitting on hardstands or an alert ramp adjacent to the runway, loaded with fuel and nuclear weapons, crews on standby, ready to attack the Soviet Union at short notice.
This plane was revolutionary in design. The six newly developed General Electric TG-180 turbojet engines were fitted to a swept wing. This was a last minute change to the original plans drawn up in 1944. A May 1945 von Kármán mission of the Army Air Forces inspected the secret German aeronautics laboratory near Braunschweig. von Kármán's team included the chief of the technical staff at Boeing, George S. Schairer. He had heard about the controversial swept-wing theory of R. T. Jones at Langley, but seeing models of swept-wing aircraft and extensive supersonic wind-tunnel data generated by the Germans, the concept was decisively confirmed. He wired his home office: "Stop the bomber design", and changed the design of the B-47 wing.
After a number of changes in design of the engine layout, wheel placement and technical details throughout, the aircraft undertook its first flight on 17th December 1947, the anniversary of the Wright Brothers first flight, with no issues. In February 1949, Russ Schleeh and Joe Howell "broke all coast-to-coast speed records" flying from Moses Lake Air Force Base to Andrews Air Force Base. They averaged 607.8 miles per hour.
A few iterations later into the plane saw the XB-47. The Boeing test pilot Rob Robbins had originally been skeptical about the XB-47, saying that before the initial flight he had prayed, "Oh God, please help me through the next two hours." The aircraft was "considered to be a radical airplane". Robbins soon realised that he had an extraordinary aircraft.
Chuck Yeager flew the XB-47 later in its development cycle and years later noted that the aircraft was so aerodynamically clean that he had difficulty putting it down on the Edwards lakebed.
Both XB-47 prototypes were test flown at Edwards AFB; however, the number one XB-47 (46-065) was disassembled and eventually scrapped by the Air Force in 1954, thus making the number two prototype (46-066) the sole surviving XB-47.
Upon retirement, XB-47 (46-066) was restored and placed on display at the Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum in Rantoul, Illinois where it remained on display until the museum announced it was closing its doors due to financial difficulties in April 2015. In late 2015, the Flight Test Historical Foundation began fundraising efforts to purchase XB-47 (46-066) for relocation to the Flight Test Museum at Edwards AFB. The purchase was completed in August 2016 and on September 21, 2016 the aircraft arrived at Edwards AFB for reassembly, restoration and eventual display at the Flight Test Museum.
The 35-degree swept wings were shoulder-mounted, with the twin inboard turbojet engines mounted in neat pods, and the outboard engines tacked under the wings short of the wingtips. With the exception of a change from the shoulder wing configuration to being under the fuselage and cockpit seating to side-by-side, most future commercial airliners would use a similar configuration, with the engines mounted in underwing pylons.
This is a fine model of the "fastest bomber in the world", complete with original decals. This type of model was not a 'toy', and were made to sit in the mess halls of the pilots and crew that flew them as a proud reminder of the power and prestige of the state of the art aircraft that were under their control. The model sits on a detachable, original base, that features a ball joint that allows the bomber to be arranged in any number of positions. Made circa 1950's. Condition is excellent.

Foundwell was established in 2009 bringing together a collection of the finest vintage and antique pieces sourced from all over the world.
Our aim is to bring together collections of unique, interesting and inspiring pieces that reflect the best in design, craftsmanship and manufacturing from the last two hundred years. We are focused mainly on items for the modern gentleman, but also include any and all special pieces that get unearthed along the way.
We are now introducing Foundwell designed and crafted collections using traditional materials and techniques of production to create the antiques of the future.
Foundwell is based in New York and London, working with a select group of high end, luxury retail outlets both online and in stores.
Foundwell have now partnered with Nordstrom, having a concession in the Seattle Pine street flagship store. This is located on the Men's Floor. We also have a collection available for sale on Nordstrom.com.
Read the interview https://blogs.nordstrom.com/fashion/foundwells-vintage-treasures-will-delight-distinguished-gentlemen-and-ladies/
We are very happy to have been chosen as one of the brands carried by Todd Snyder's first flagship store in the US. Located on Madison Square Park North, this is an expertly curated store featuring clothes, as well as accessories, for men.

The new Paddle 8 Gentleman's Accessories auction is now online, and this time we have worked with the Macallan whisky where some of the pieces reflect the qualities in the new Rare Cask Scotch. Place bids until October 27th.
Tonight, I will be at the Bruno Cucinelli store in SoHo, New York.
Feel free to bring any gems that you would like to learn a little more about. Or just have a cocktail!
Curated Sale of Gentlemen's Accessories
We are very excited to launch an auction we have curated especially for Paddle 8. It launches on 20th of March, and is live for 2 weeks.
New concession at Club Monaco at Redchurch Street London
Club Monaco has had mild flirtations with the UK market over the past few years - generally consisting of small selections stocked in larger shops like Browns, Harrods or Anthem - but now the Canadian label has committed its relationship with Britain by opening its first permanent men's shop. We have added a selection of great pieces from pieces for the bar to an amazing selection of vintage watches.

Kindly note that payment of your annual registration fees must reach Council on or before 31 March of every year, for a particular year, in order to avoid deregistration due to non-payment of fees. Even though non-payment of fees may lead to de-registration, the AHPCSA does not presume that the practitioner's non-payment of fees for a particular year is an indication of intention to de-register. Intention to be de-registered must be communicated to Council on or before 15 January of the given year, in writing; if de-registration is requested after 15 January and before 31 March, the practitioner will be liable for one quarter of the annual fee; any request for de-registration received after 31 March will result in the practitioner being liable for full registration fees and all other consequences for non-payment of fees will be applicable.
Council must be notified in writing before you leave South Africa for a protracted period (six months or longer), as per the Allied Health Professions Act (Act 63 of 1982), as amended.
Should you be planning to be away for two years only, it is recommended that you remain registered; should you be planning on being away for five years or longer, it would be financially viable to deregister.
When you return and request restoration to the register Council will require a CV of your activities since leaving SA, a letter/certificate of good standing from the Council in the country where you have been practising and a police clearance certificate; you may also need to prove CPD activities. You will not be able to commence practising until you have been restored to the register at the AHPCSA.

(TNS) — LAS VEGAS – Auto companies at this week's CES tech convention affirmed plans to have their first true self-driving cars in production by 2021 — or in some cases earlier.
But don't expect to see these vehicles on any dealership lots.
This first generation of autonomous vehicles will, in most cases, not be offered for sale or lease to the general public, but instead would be reserved for commercial use by ride-hailing fleets and delivery services.
For instance, Ford plans to own its initial fleet of self-driving cars and sell the use of those vehicles as a service to businesses. That's a contrast from automakers' traditional business model.
That means the first truly autonomous Ford wouldn't be available for consumers to buy, said Sherif Marakby, the company's vice president for autonomous vehicles and electrification.
A major reason why is that these vehicles, despite their arrays of advanced sensors and computers, would only be capable of operating in sustained, fully autonomous mode in a select few urban areas that have been wired and digitally mapped for self-driving.
Cars that venture outside of these future autonomous-ready zones might need to switch over to manual driving mode, depending on the surroundings and driving conditions.
Ford plans to roll out its first-generation autonomous vehicles in densely populated urban areas, where the vehicles would be moving people and commercial goods.
An early test of this business concept was the automaker's recent partnership with Domino's, in which Ford Fusion hybrids played the role of driverless, self-service pizza delivery vehicles in Ann Arbor.
Moving toward its 2021 autonomous vehicle production goal, Ford announced this week it has partnered with delivery service Postmates to start experimenting with how self-driving vehicles can be used to make quicker, more convenient deliveries of groceries, food, packages and retail merchandise.
"We see the business opportunity as very, very large compared to traditional automotive margins," Marakby said of the mobility-as-a-service concept, once it fully blooms.
General Motors has said it plans to deploy its first self-driving vehicles — heavily modified electric Chevy Bolts — in a ride-sharing service to be available in 2019 in certain urban areas. Its partner, Cruise Automation, is currently testing autonomous Bolts in parts of San Francisco with safety drivers and engineers inside.
And a fleet of completely driverless Chrysler Pacificas, outfitted by Google-owned Waymo, are expected to begin shuttling passengers around the Phoenix area later this year.
Toyota executives said this week at CES that they plan to have at least a demonstration of a true self-driving car ready by the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.
Ford's autonomous vehicle partner — Pittsburgh-based Argo AI — is currently road-testing self-driving Ford Fusions, also with safety drivers and engineers.
These Fusions are easy to spot; they are marked "Self-driving Systems Development" and have spinners on the roof, known as LiDAR, which acts like a light-beam radar.
These vehicles are not only testing equipment and software, but digitally mapping their surroundings to make it easier for future autonomous vehicles to navigate.
"The high-definition maps that autonomy relies on are not available. You actually have to create them," Marakby said.
Once Ford introduces its first commercial driverless vehicle in 2021, it won't be a Fusion but an entirely new vehicle. The automaker is saying little about this "dedicated autonomous vehicle," aside from it being a hybrid and not an all-electric car like the Bolt.
A key benefit of hybrids is their ability to fuel up fast and pick up the next passenger or business assignment — no lengthy charging times.

Q: Java Serialization: close streams in try or in a finally block? I was looking at Java Serialization articles and stumbled a number of times across examples where the streams are closed in the try block instead of in a finally block. Can someone explain to me why is that?
Example:
import java.io.*;
public class DeserializeDemo {

    public static void main(String [] args) {
      Employee e = null;
      try {
         FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream("/tmp/employee.ser");
         ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fileIn);
         e = (Employee) in.readObject();
         in.close();
         fileIn.close();
      } catch(IOException i) {
         i.printStackTrace();
         return;
      } catch(ClassNotFoundException c) {
         System.out.println("Employee class not found");
         c.printStackTrace();
         return;
      }

      System.out.println("Deserialized Employee...");
      System.out.println("Name: " + e.name);
      System.out.println("Address: " + e.address);
      System.out.println("SSN: " + e.SSN);
      System.out.println("Number: " + e.number);
   }
}

A: The try-with-resources Statement
The try-with-resources statement is a try statement that declares one or more resources. A resource is an object that must be closed after the program is finished with it. The try-with-resources statement ensures that each resource is closed at the end of the statement. Any object that implements java.lang.AutoCloseable, which includes all objects which implement java.io.Closeable, can be used as a resource.
The following example reads the first line from a file. It uses an instance of BufferedReader to read data from the file. BufferedReader is a resource that must be closed after the program is finished with it:
static String readFirstLineFromFile(String path) throws IOException {
    try (BufferedReader br =
                   new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path))) {
        return br.readLine();
    }
}

In this example, the resource declared in the try-with-resources statement is a BufferedReader. The declaration statement appears within parentheses immediately after the try keyword. The class BufferedReader, in Java SE 7 and later, implements the interface java.lang.AutoCloseable. Because the BufferedReader instance is declared in a try-with-resource statement, it will be closed regardless of whether the try statement completes normally or abruptly (as a result of the method BufferedReader.readLine throwing an IOException).
Prior to Java SE 7, you can use a finally block to ensure that a resource is closed regardless of whether the try statement completes normally or abruptly. The following example uses a finally block instead of a try-with-resources statement:
static String readFirstLineFromFileWithFinallyBlock(String path)
                                                     throws IOException {
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path));
    try {
        return br.readLine();
    } finally {
        if (br != null) br.close();
    }
}

Source =>http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/tryResourceClose.html

A: From documentation:

The finally block always executes when the try block exits. This ensures that the finally block is executed even if an unexpected exception occurs.
The runtime system always executes the statements within the finally block regardless of what happens within the try block. So it's the perfect place to perform cleanup.

So it means if you have some connection, stream or some other resources opened you have to be sure that they will be closed after your code block will be executed.
To avoid such ugly blocks you can use utility methods:
public void close(Closeable closeable) {
    if (closeable != null) {
        try {
            closeable.close();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            // handle block
        }
    }
}

Since Java 8 (but it is not required) you can provide your own Exception handler with closing resource:
public void close(Closeable closeable, Consumer<? extends Throwable> handler) {
    if (closeable != null) {
        try {
            closeable.close();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            handler.accept(ex);
        }
    }
}

Also, just for knowledge, there are two cases when finally block is not called. It means that in most cases it will be called.

A: If you are Java 7 or above…
Don't close in finally block
The close method can throw an IOException and FileInputStream/ObjectInputStream can be null. When you use .close in finally,  you must check null and try/catch again.
Use "try-with-resources Statement" instead
Using try-with-resources your code looks like this:
try(
    FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream("/tmp/employee.ser");
    ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fileIn)
) {
    e = (Employee) in.readObject();
    // in.close();
    // fileIn.close();
}

The try-with-resources syntax guarantees the resources implementing AutoCloseable interface will be closed automatically. So you don't need to call a close method on your code.

A: You should close connection in finally. As finally always going to execute whether it goes in try or catch.
Also we need to close every connection once it created.
try{
  // statements
}catch (){
 // statements
}
finally {
    in.close();
    fileIn.close();
}

A:
I was looking at Java Serialization articles and stumbled a number of times across examples where the streams are closed in the try block instead of in a finally block.

Examples that do it that way are poor examples.  While closing a stream within a try block will work for simple one-shot examples, doing this in a case where the code might be executed multiple times is liable to lead to resource leaks.
The other Answers to this Question do a good job of explaining the right way(s) to close streams.

Can someone explain to me why is that?

It comes down to poor quality control on the tutorial sites; i.e. inadequate code reviewing.

A: The accepted answer certainly has a bug.

The close method can throw an IOException too. If this happens when
  in.close is called, the exception prevents fileIn.close from getting
  called, and the fileIn stream remains open.

It can implemented as below when multiple streams are involved:
} finally {
 if ( in != null) {
  try { in .close();
  } catch (IOException ex) {
   // There is nothing we can do if close fails
  }
 }
 if (fileIn != null) {
  try {
   fileIn.close();
  } catch (IOException ex) {
   // Again, there is nothing we can do if close fails
  }
 }
}

Or, take advantage of Closeable Interface
} finally {
  closeResource(in);
  closeResource(fileIn);
}

Method:
private static void closeResource(Closeable c) {
 if (c != null) {
  try {
   c.close();
  } catch (IOException ex) {
   // There is nothing we can do if close fails
  }
 }
}

A: You should close in finally block.
It's a bad habit to close in try block.
  try {
     e = (Employee) in.readObject();   //Possibility of exception
  } catch(IOException i) {

  } catch(ClassNotFoundException c) {

  } finally {
     in.close();
     fileIn.close();
  }

When someone is writing a code by knowing it will throw an exception,he/she has to close the opened resources

A: You should always close in a finally block.
However, you can use try with resources.
Here's the link: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/tryResourceClose.html
static String readFirstLineFromFile(String path) throws IOException {
 try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path))) {
    return br.readLine();
  }
}

Donald Trump also runs out of YouTube channel
The presence of the still president of the United States in social networks is increasingly reduced. YouTube was the last platform to confirm the suspension of your account.
«After careful review, and in light of concerns about the continued risk of violence, we removed new content uploaded to Donald J. Trump's channel and issued a notice for violating our incitement to violence policies.» , the company has communicated through a statement that includes Associated Press . This is content dated January 12.
The fact that YouTube has issued a first notice means that the account will be suspended for at least one week .
Trump will not be able to upload content during this time and comments will not be allowed, although the channel will remain accessible.
If the violations of YouTube's policy continue once the normal functioning of the account is re-established, the platform may issue new notices. YouTube has the power to terminate even expelling the offender.
Blocking Facebook and Twitter
The atmosphere in the United States has heated up in recent days. Allegations of electoral fraud after the November presidential elections have sparked riots . A week and a half ago a group of supporters of the Republican politician stormed the Capitol and five people died.
YouTube had already warned at the time that it was willing to impose blocks on accounts that spread disinformation through videos.
Facebook and Twitter , two of the main social networks, are other companies that have punished Trump's language , accusations of fraud and incitement to revolts. The profiles of the outgoing president on Facebook and Instagram have been blocked indefinitely. And the Twitter account is also suspended permanently.

Plane's crash landing in Brazil kills 16
NO SURVIVORS:The airliner reported problems shortly after taking off and made an emergency landing, but exploded into flames shortly after, killing everyone aboard
AP, SAO PAULO, BRAZIL
A regional airliner crashed in a northeastern city in Brazil on Wednesday, killing all 16 people on board, the nation's air force said.
Witnesses said at least one of the passengers was pleading for help after the plane made a hard landing, gesturing through a window to onlookers, but the aircraft burst into flames before aid could arrive.
The crew of the twin-turboprop aircraft belonging to Noar Airlines reported problems shortly after taking off at about 7am from the city of Recife en route to the city of Natal. Investigators said the plane's flight data and voice recorders were located, which they hoped would help answer why the plane went down.
All of the names on a list of victims released by the airline appeared to be Brazilian, though it did not list nationalities.
The air force did not indicate what the problems were or what caused the crash, but said it is investigating. Weather did not seem to be a factor as it was overcast, but not raining when the plane went down.
About five minutes after take off, the pilot tried to make an emergency landing in a vacant lot near a beach on the outskirts of the city's center, near several apartment buildings. However, witnesses said the aircraft went down hard and burst into flames shortly afterward.
"I saw a woman in a window [of the plane] asking for help and it just exploded," witness Erandir Rodrigues da Silva told the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper. "There was nothing to be done."
Recife Fire Chief Valdyr Oliveira told Estado radio that the fire was controlled quickly and that investigators are working at the scene for clues as to why the plane went down.
"The pilot was able to land, but the impact caused an explosion," Oliveira said.
A video posted on the Folha newspaper's Web site showed the aircraft in flames on the ground, black plumes of smoke rising from it, a crowd of onlookers gathered nearby. Morning traffic crawled along a highway between the vacant lot where the plane went down and a strip of beach.
The air force said the plane that crashed was a L-410, built by LET Aircraft Industries in the Czech Republic. It had a capacity for 19 passengers, according to Noar's Web site, along with a crew of two.
According to the accident database of the US National Transportation Safety Board, which tracks incidents globally, four other accidents involving the same model of plane were reported, all in Latin America and taking place in 2000 and 2001.
Two crashes in Mexico, one in Guatemala and one in Costa Rica resulted in 31 deaths.
Noar Airlines' Web site said it began operations in June last year and that it makes 278 flights a week. It owns a fleet of four small planes and the plane that went down was purchased new about a year ago.

PBS to Air Documentary on Violence in Tribal Communities
PBS next month will air a two-part series by acclaimed filmmaker David Sutherland that shines a light on the issues of sexual violence on Indian reservations. With the reauthorization of VAWA — which extends certain domestic violence protections to Indians attacked by non-Native perpetrators — headlining the news, this important documentary, Kind Hearted Woman, demonstrates the real-life trouble and hardships facing Robin Charboneau, a 32-year-old divorced single mother and Oglala Sioux woman living on North Dakota's Spirit Lake Reservation. Sutherland follows Charboneau over three years as she struggles to raise her two children, further her education and heal herself from the wounds of sexual abuse she suffered as a child. Echoing her own abuse, Robin discovers that her husband has sexually abused their daughter.
RAINN is partnering with PBS and the producers of Kind Hearted Woman to bring attention to Indians who are victims of sexual violence.
While the documentary takes place on an Indian reservation, the issues revealed in the film are all too prevalent in communities throughout the country. RAINN's partnership will connect audiences with the National Sexual Assault Hotline and provide insight about childhood sexual abuse and sexual violence. Information from RAINN about how to react to the disclosure of sexual violence and tips to protect children from sexual abuse will also be provided at special community screenings.
In her first major public presentation about her own childhood abuse, Charboneau said: "The last thing that I need to say that I still struggle with is not just how to build a family and to be a mom, but … also the boundaries, the boundaries within a relationship. Nobody ever taught me how to be a wife or a mother, because it was married men who were molesting me. So I still have a long way to go. I still have a lot of things to learn. But it's just one step at a time."
"As in my other films profiling rural poverty," says Sutherland, "in Kind Hearted Woman, I was trying to reach out to another forgotten corner of the American landscape, this time to put a face on a Native family so that we could see them close-up with all the detail that illuminates the rich reality of their lives."
Kind Hearted Woman is a special co-presentation of FRONTLINE and Independent Lens. The programs will air Monday and Tuesday, April 1 and 2, at 9 PM ET on PBS. Check your local listings here.
Truly elevating, truly healing. No words to express my gratitude-- you made it all such a pleasant experience. I celebrate you and thank you. Brad, Survivor

Hollywood's Obsession with Bathtubs
in News — by Jelena D —	June 26, 2018
We already know that Hollywood is obsessed with plastic surgery, cars and money. Many of the actors we loved look completely different because of that. One thing that we didn't see right away is the obsession with bathtubs in movies.
Bathtub scenes are memorable. There are several reasons why these scenes are popular in Hollywood movies. First of all, we know the actor in question is naked. Whatever the body shape may be (and usually it's steaming hot), something in our brain clicks at the thought of a seeing a stark naked person.
Curiosity is doubled with expectation – you never know how much flesh is going to be exposed, if there are enough bubbles, or how big the towel is, if any. You also know you're watching this scene for a reason – the director is showing it to prove a point. And it's not because you're supposed to pick up something from the character's hygiene routine.
So, let's take a look what kind of message a single bathtub can send us.
(Courtesy of Universal Pictures)
If you want to show someone's wealth, just show them off having a luxurious bubble bath like Scarface did. This epic scene defined Tony Montana as a big boss, even more than sitting on a ton of cocaine. We all remember the sharp contrast of the bubbles, gold, and the dissatisfied, disgusted expression on his face. Even Al Pacino said that only the devil is more evil than Tony Montana.
More often than not, a bathing ritual is used to show how the hero is just another human being. It illustrates how movie characters can be vulnerable, both physically and emotionally. Actually, isn't it as close as one can get to experience a womb? Floating in liquid, trying to feel totally tranquil and carefree… Hence, this probably helps us sympathise with the character in this situation.
(Courtesy of The Elm Street Venture)
Being vulnerable only increases the chances of a perfect murder. There was a scene in Godfather II, and the cowboys never EVER took a bath without their faithful revolver at their side.
Remember the scene from A Nightmare On Elm Street? Well, you'd better try to erase that one from the memory the next time you decide to have some time for yourself.
Sex/romantic scenes
If you really want to show the intimacy of a couple, then just throw in a bathtub scene. There's something about the bathing ritual which speaks volumes about a relationship. You know if they're cuddled together in lukewarm water, they're totally in love and comfortable with each other's bodies. Just think of Fifty Shades of Grey, or Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas in Original Sin. Steamy, isn't it?
Suicidal bathing
Having already acknowledged the hero is suffering from depression and feeling utter disappointment with his/her life, you know what to expect when you see them in the bath tub. Will he, or won't they cut their own wrists? Or perhaps try to see what it would be like to drown? The suspense is killing us/them.
(Courtesy of Touchstone Pictures/Silver Screen Partners IV)
Fortunately, not everything has to be super serious about taking a bath. Bubbles are supposed to be fun, and people are expected to relish the experience and splash around like little kids. Just like Julia Roberts did. Plus, we all remember that Chandler moment and his wish to "relax after a long day".
Finally, there used to be a scene with a bath tub to show the turning point in a hero's life, when they are having a makeover. Today, that's usually depicted through a scene at the beauty salon, but in the old days, if you wanted a character to shine (literally), you first gave them a good ol' rub!
Indeed, had Shakespeare lived today, he most certainly would've used it in his scenes. Such an ordinary thing, and yet always summing things perfectly. Having a bath tub scene is always a sure bet.

Alzheimer's disease results from gradual, progressive brain aging. Positron emission technology (PET) scans of Alzheimer's patients' brains typically reveal a decreased rate of metabolism, one of the hallmarks of the disorder.
UCLA researchers conducted a study of a small sample of adults with mild age-related memory loss. One group of participants was randomly assigned a daily placebo, while the other group was given Aricept, a drug used to treat Alzheimer's symptoms. Both groups underwent PET brain scans before and after the 18-month treatment. The researchers found that the brains of people given Aricept showed an increased rate of metabolism and looked more normal than the brains of those given the placebo. Both groups scored the same on memory tests, however, implying that PET scans may be more sensitive than neuropsychological tests in detecting the effects of drugs.
The research suggests that the treatment of early symptoms of memory loss may protect the brain and help people with mild age-related memory impairment. The finding also shows how PET offers researchers a tool for tracking the effectiveness of drugs prescribed to treat age-related cognitive decline.
Dr. Gary Small, UCLA's Parlow-Solomon Professor on Aging and professor of clinical psychiatry at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA, and Dr. Daniel Silverman, UCLA associate clinical professor of molecular and medical pharmacology and head of neuronuclear imaging, are available for interviews.
The study was funded by grants from the National Institute on Aging and private foundations. Small is a consultant to Pfizer and Eisai, which manufacture and market Aricept, and to Siemens, which manufactures and markets PET brain scanners. No commercial funding was provided.
The findings will be presented at 1:30 p.m. ET on July 30 at the "Hot Topics" poster session of the 2008 International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease in Chicago, hosted by the Alzheimer's Association.
Color PET scans revealing the different rates of patients' brain metabolism before and after treatment are available upon request.

John H. Patterson (1905–1951) of Greensburg, Pennsylvania was an American economist, academic and writer known for his progressive trade position during the debate over the Smoot-Hawley Act.  With Paul O'Leary, he authored An Introduction to Money, Banking and Corporations in 1937.

Early life
Patterson came from a railroad family.  As an undergraduate at Cornell University, he served on the Student Council's Freshman Advisory Committee, joined the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, and through that organization was a member of the Irving Literary Society.  He took his bachelor's degree in economics in 1925, his master's degree in 1926 and his PhD in 1929.  All degrees were conferred by Cornell University. He married a classmate, Ms. Anne Hubbel Seymour.

Academic career
His first teaching position was instructor in economics at Washington Square College, New York University.  In 1934, he took leave from NYU and returned as acting assistant professor of economics at Cornell.  The next year he served as a lecturer in economics at the University of California at Berkeley.  In 1939, he became dean of men at Middlebury College  and an associate professor of economics.

New Dealer
Prior to the outbreak of World War Two, he was asked to take a position with the Office of Price Administration in Washington, D.C.

Q: Splitting a string after x number of new lines I haven't managed to find a solution online to this in .net yet.
I need to be able to separate a string of about 42,000 lines into individual strings of 5,000 lines each.
String is of the form
"some stuff\d\nsome things\d\n..."

Repeating around 42,000 times. So realistically I need 9 strings, 8 will contain 5000 \d\n and one will contain 2000. But it needs to work in a general case.
So the string needs to be broken at every 5000th \d\n and saved as a separate string.

A: Edit following clarification: once you have split your long strings on each \d\n then this generic extension method can be used to batch the strings up into batches of 5000 with any remaining in the final batch:
string[] longList = reallyLongString
                   .Split(new string[] { "\d\n" }, StringSplitOptions.None);

var batchesOfStrings = longList.Batch(5000);

foreach (var batch in batchesOfStrings)
{
   …
}

Extension  method (must be in a static class):
public static IEnumerable<IList<T>> Batch<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, int batchSize)
{
    var batch = new List<T>(batchSize);

    foreach (var item in source)
    {
        batch.Add(item);
        if (batch.Count == batchSize)
        {

The 2015 Linux Security Summit
25 Aug 2015 tags: android apparmor audit ima seccomp selinux smack
The 2015 Linux Security Summit was just last week and I've done my best to try and capture some of the highlights in the post below. Once again, a big thanks to the presenters, James Morris and the program committee, and all the attendees who made this another excellent summit.
I've linked to the all the presentations that were available at the time of writing, but it is possible that additional information has been made available by the time you read this. I encourage you to check the 2015 Linux Security Summit page for the latest slides and papers.
2015 Linux Security Summit
Securing your IT Infrastructure by Securing your Team, Konstantin Ryabitsev
Konstantin started his keynote by comparing the automotive industry in the 1950s and 1960s to the automotive industry of today. He argued that the cars in the 1950s and 1960s were fun and generally safe to drive, but not necessarily safe to crash. Engineering crash safety into cars was expensive and customers simply weren't asking for it; it was easier and cheaper to blame the drivers and promote driver education programs. Today's approach to automotive safety has changed, with most of the focus on mitigating driver errors, and the vehicle fatalities have dropped significantly.
Konstantin believes that computing today is much like to automotive industry in the 1950s and 1960s; as an industry we still like to blame the users for security breaches and promote user education programs. He argues that we need to learn from today's automotive industry and work to create mechanisms that help mitigate user errors and maintain the security of the system without relying on user education programs. Konstantin then outlined a number of computing best practices, or "airbags", for securing systems and teams.
Finally, Konstantin wrapped up his talk with an amusing video on computer security which can be found on YouTube at the link below. If you have five minutes to spare, it is well worth your time.
Linux Foundation IT Policies
An Identity Attested Linux Security Supervisor Architecture, Greg Wettstein
This presentation described a method of performing automated integrity checks on systems designed for remote deployment using the existing IMA infrastructure and a mutual remote attestation protocol using IPsec and possum, a replacement for the IKE daemon racoon.
SELinux in Android Lollipop and Android M, Stephen Smalley
SEAndroid has been ongoing for a few years now, but Android 5.0/Lollipop is the first official release to ship with SELinux access control enforcement for all processes. To help reinforce this, SELinux is mandated by the Android 5.0 Compatibility Definition Document (CDD) and is tested as part of the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS). Starting with Lollipop, the SELinux enforcement extends from system daemons all the way through third party applications, only the kernel and init system are loosely confined, but even then there is no truly unconfined SELinux domain like "unconfined_t" on standard SELinux systems.
The upcoming Android 6.0/Marshmallow will bring additional SELinux enhancements including ioctl() controls, multi-user separation using the SELinux MLS capabilities, improved Chrome sandboxing, more restrictive Binder access controls, continued SELinux policy hardening, and improved CTS testing of the SELinux policy and configuration.
Rethinking Audit, Paul Moore
The Linux Audit Framework was created to fulfill the auditing requirements of high security users and has been present in the kernel for quite some time. Unfortunately, the kernel's audit subsystem has not aged well, partly due to some poor design decisions and partly due to some poor implementation choices. This talk described some of the problems as well as a staged solution which could help resolve some of these issues.
The presentation fostered a good discussion with those in attendance. This included the discovery of the importance of audit to embedded Android systems as well as their use of audit without any of the traditional audit userspace tools.
Assembling Secure OS Images, Elena Reshetova
This talk presented a prototype framework for the security analysis of small or embedded image build systems. At present the prototype is only integrated into Yocto, but a OpenEmbedded layer is expected soon. The analysis framework, through a variety of plugins, scans both the build configuration and runtime system configuration for potential vulnerabilities. Individual packages are also scanned for known vulnerabilities via published CVEs and less vulnerable alternatives are proposed, when available.
Linux and Mobile Device Encryption, Paul Lawrence and Mike Halcrow
This talk seemed an extension of last year's EXT4 encryption presentation, with a description of the ongoing work to convert Android from using dm-crypt based device encryption to EXT4 based filesystem encryption. The current Android dm-crypt solution is used to encrypt the entire userdata partition and imposes a few drawbacks that the developers are hoping to solve in a move to EXT4 based encryption. EXT4 is already showing promise by resolving many, if not all, of the dm-crypt limitations in addition to providing a more secure user wipe mechanism and over-the-air (OTA) updates without any the workarounds needed for dm-crypt.
Beyond Android, the core EXT4 encryption functionality was merged in Linux 4.1 with F2FS adopting similar functionality, via code reuse, in Linux 4.2. This code reuse has prompted the developers to start examining the potential of a common encryption layer in VFS.
Core Infrastructure Initiative, Emily Ratliff
The Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) was founded by the Linux Foundation as a response to the OpenSSL Heartbleed bug. The goal of the CII project is to help support and strengthen the security of core OpenSource infrastructure. The CII works to do this through different mechanisms: census and grants, a badge program, and tooling.
The census and grant program is an effort to identify projects that are both significant to the core infrastructure and at great risk for security vulnerabilities. The grant program works alongside the census to try and support these at risk projects in an attempt to improve the security of the project. The tooling project is similar in that its goal is to help create and foster the use of tools, such as static analysis and automated testing, which are designed to reduce the likelihood of security vulnerabilities in projects. Finally, the badge program is designed to document a set of security best practices to help guide projects and provide a set of badges so that projects can easily demonstrate their commitment to secure development practices.

Security Framework for Constraining Application Privileges, Lukasz Wojciechowski
This presentation described Tizen's approach to security, which is based around four different components: the standard Discretionary Access Controls (DAC), the Smack LSM, Cynara, and a set of privileged services which provide userspace access control to system resources. Smack provides a unique application ID, via the Smack security label, as well as basic separation between applications and the host system. Cynara serves as the system wide security policy store and interfaces with a series of privileged services which provide most of the resource access controls for the system. One of these privileged services is the security manager service, which is responsible for reading an application's manifest and configuring the system, e.g. Smack and DAC filesystem rights, based on the application's requested access and the Cynara security policy. Beyond the security manager service, there are other services which control access to the network, manage containers, and provide system wide logging and auditing.

IMA/EVM: Real Applications for Embedded Networking Systems, Petko Manolov and Mark Baushke
This talk discussed some of the changes needed to deploy IMA/EVM on large scale enterprise routers/switches. While we've had more than a few talks over the years at LSS that focus on embedded devices, many of those devices are either mobile handsets or small IoT-like devices; none are engineered with an expected service life of 10 to 20 years like the network devices described in this presentation. In order to maintain these systems over time, and allow for both customer and third party customization, some changes had to be made: the creation of a certificate hierarchy, a revocation keyring to support certificate blacklisting, and the ability to support a dynamic IMA policy.
The certificate hierarchy was achieved by the creation of a Machine Owner Keyring (MOK) as well as some minor IMA modifications which would allow keys to be imported if they were signed by a certificate in the MOK. This effectively allows the system to be customized by the machine owner. The certificate blacklisting and dynamic IMA functionality were necessary as it isn't practical to reboot these systems in order to remove a certificate or reload the IMA policy.
IOCTL Command Whitelisting in SELinux, Jeffrey Vander Stoep
The ioctl() syscall is well known to be one of the riskier syscalls when it comes to system security. There are many reasons for this, and while we have methods of mitigating the risk for some aspects of ioctl(), there are still plenty of ioctl() based interfaces that present concern. A survey done by Google found that approximately 15% of the crashes on an Android system occurred in the ioctl() syscall. In response to this, as well as concerns over user privacy, the authors developed extensions to the SELinux access controls to provide the capability to restrict individual ioctl() commands, allowing policy authors to selectively enable specific ioctls, or ioctl ranges, for a given SELinux domain.
The patches described in this presentation have been accepted and should appear in the Linux 4.3 Kernel.
IMA/EVM on Android Device, Dmitry Kasatkin
This talk described the work necessary to enable IMA/EVM on modern Android systems. Unfortunately, at the time of the presentation, development was still ongoing and the goal had not been achieved. Once successful, the process will be documented on the IMA project site.
IMA Project
Subsystem Update: Smack, Casey Schaufler
Casey, the Smack maintainer, presented on the current state of Smack and the progress that had been made over the past year. Notable additions include IPv6 support, support for binary mount data (necessary for NFS), interfaces to read the security labels of keys in the kernel keyring, and the addition of secmark support. In the upcoming year Casey expects to further refine the IPv6 support, reduce Smack's memory footprint, and add basic support for namespaces.
Subsystem Update: AppArmor, John Johansen
John, the AppArmor maintainer, discussed the ongoing AppArmor work after first explaining that containers and mobile computing are currently driving development. John discussed several AppArmor improvements including socket labeling, D-Bus support, new APIs for policy management, systemd integration, and a number of policy compiler improvements. The talk also covered upcoming work, including cleaning up the out-of-tree patches for inclusion into the upstream Linux Kernel.
Subsystem Update: Integrity, Mimi Zohar
Mimi, the IMA maintainer, started the IMA presentation by mentioning that she first started working on the IMA subsystem in 2005; and while IMA wasn't accepted upstream until 2009, 2015 does mark an anniversary for the IMA subsystem. This years security summit was full of IMA and integrity related talks, and Mimi discussed some of that work in the IMA update, including userspace additions done to support appraisal and the inclusion of file signatures in the various package managers, e.g. RPM. Unfortunately, until the various distributions start including file signatures in their packages it will be difficult for IMA to gain widespread adoption. It will be interesting to see if containerized application delivery and efforts like Project Atomic will make this any easier.
Subsystem Update: SELinux, Paul Moore
Paul, the SELinux maintainer and author of this post, provided a quick summary of the SELinux advancements over the past year. The largest by far was the inclusion of the Common Intermediate Language (CIL) in February and the news that Fedora will include CIL starting with Fedora 23 this fall. Other advances included numerous performance improvements, the ioctl() access controls, access controls for the Binder IPC mechanism, improved labeling for netlink and a number of pseudo filesystems, as well as numerous improvements to the SELinux testsuite.
Subsystem Update: Capabilities, Serge Hallyn
It is unusual for the capabilities maintainer, Serge, to give a subsystem update at the security summit since the capabilities subsystem so rarely changes, but he did have something new to talk about this year: the ambient capabilities work currently being developed by Andy Lutomirski.
Subsystem Update: Seccomp, Kees Cook
Kees, the seccomp maintainer, provided an update on the seccomp subsystem. Notable improvements include support for the 64-bit ARM and Power architectures as well as the inclusion of the seccomp tests into the kernel selftest directory. Current and future seccomp development is focused on argument inspection, supporting checkpoint/restore, and leveraging the kernel's eBPF improvements.
Linux Security Module Stacking Next Steps, Casey Schaufler
Over the past year, the Linux Security Module framework saw one of its largest changes since its inclusion into the upstream Linux kernel: basic security module stacking. This initial stacking effort is relatively basic, only minor modules, such as Yama, can be stacked with major modules, such as SELinux. However, the basic infrastructure is now in place and Casey outlined some ideas on how to move forward towards "extreme stacking". Extreme stacking is the name Casey is using to describe stacking multiple, major LSMs, e.g. stacking both SELinux and Smack. While a few members of the audience were skeptical of Casey's approach (full disclosure: I am one of the skeptics) it is clear that "extreme stacking" is something we are likely to be discussing next year as well.
Remote Live Forensics for Incident Response, Sean Gillespie
This talk dealt with running live forensics on remote systems using the GRR tool. GRR was originally developed by Google as a platform used to monitor and inspect large numbers of systems. It focuses on knowledge base collection, artifact collection, file acquisition, and live remote memory analysis. In practice the tool is used by analysts for proactive detection of threats, the collection of forensic evidence, and the ability to rapidly scope a threat across a fleet of systems.
At the end of the talk there was a demo and Q&A session.


Giulio Cappellini turned around his father's furniture business into a trendsetting design company, called Cappellini, with a host global collaborations, before he sold it in 2004.
He was among the first to recognise that Italian design could no longer rely on home-grown maestros since the design industry was becoming global in outlook.
Cappellini says often, a new product or design innovation is not immediately understood by people.
You have often said that the industry should return to values of the previous decade, to channel research and investment in contemporary products. Do you feel global design companies have become repetitive?
Over the years, I have seen several innovations in new materials, textures and manufacturing processes that make a project contemporary, rather than in new shapes. The design industry must continue to create beautiful and useful objects with the help of designers from all over the world. But the focus should not be merely on the lifestyle aspect, which often hides the real qualities of a product. We are selling too much similar products and settings, unfortunately. It is very important to work on strong products that never be completely copied.
At Instituto Marangoni, your talk was on 'The Other F Word - The Success of Failure and the Failure of Success: The Innovation Paradox'. How do you view failure?
Often, a project's failure indicates a need to improve or correct a design. Often, a new product or design innovation is not immediately understood by people. Sometimes, it takes a few years for an idea to be accepted. You have to always accept defeats that serve to push the frontiers by dedicating yourself to hard work. Defeats have their own positive traits, if well-handled. Designers, together with corporates, must continuously research and invest in the future to give consumers far superior products.
How much emphasis does Cappellini put on constant experimentation, on learning from failures?
At Cappellini, the immediate failure of a product does not stop the research and innovation. A product that does not succeeded is re-studied and re-introduced in the market. A few years ago, we presented the Basket Sofa designed by the Bouroullec Brothers, which was not greeted with great enthusiasm because it was way too expensive. We managed to work on the manufacturing process and reduce the price. Now the Basket sofa is one of Cappellini's best-sellers.
Which is the designer whose work has impressed you in recent times?
I admire the work of British product and furniture designer Jasper Morrison. He designs a few products but they are innovative and flawless. He keeps an object's function at the core while designing, without losing sight of its form.
Cappellini, under you, was among the first of Italian design companies to recognise the global nature of contemporary design. What made you reach out to global talent?
To work with international designers and to discover new and not-so-famous talents has been a mission. We must defend the Made-in Italy brand, but also be open to international cultures and influence.
Are you familiar with Indian design?
On this visit to Mumbai I have had the chance to meet architects and designers who are just beginning their career. I like to observe what is unfolding in the world around me. I believe there is a very interesting generation of architects and designers evolving in India. Sahil and Sarthak have done some exciting work. I first met them when they were interning at Cappellini and we have gone on to collaborate with them.
Do you think Indian designers should explore their design roots and create products that are rooted in local context, but appeals to global aesthetics, if they want to set a mark?
In India, there is an admirable tradition in materials' production such as marble and metal. This tradition must be made contemporary and not abandoned. Indian designers need to adapt their roots and be close to their culture, while being modern, if they want to break through in the global design world.
What is your vision for the design industry over the next decade?
These days, people love to mix different products and create an office or home that reflect their identity. The design industry and designers must create flexible and versatile products that suit different kinds of contexts and can be sold worldwide. The emphasis has to be on innovative and contemporary materials. No one needs a new table or chairs. Designers have to work harder on really strong products that people won't be able to live without.

One of the results is that BMF does work function properly, since it relies on the information in the TC database.


The City of New Roads has again been selected as a recipient of the Healthy Communities Grant by Keep Louisiana Beautiful, the state's premier anti-litter and community improvement organization.
This year's grant, in the amount of $4,000, will support the promotion of the "Keep New Roads Beautiful" program.
"I look forward to investing these grant dollars in promoting the cleanliness of our city, and I encourage local residents and businesses to join us," Myer said.
Myer noted that his administration has made great strides in reducing litter in the city since first taking office. In addition to progress made through the grants, the city has sponsored several city-wide cleanup outings, including participation in the Great American Cleanup. City workers also are more vigilant in their patrols and cleanup of public areas, he said.
Keep Louisiana Beautiful, Inc., is the state's anti-litter and community improvement organization focused on education, enforcement, awareness and cleanups. Affiliated with Keep America Beautiful, Keep Louisiana Beautiful works to promote personal, corporate and community responsibility for a clean and beautiful Louisiana. With a network of 40 affiliates in communities throughout the state, over 35,000 volunteers work toward a clean and beautiful Louisiana.
