After that faithful day, the resurrected girl and her family continued to live on with their normal lives. As requested, not one tongue spoke of the miracle. The neighbors kept silent and so did the family themselves. To ensure the girl's complete recovery and safety, her father confined her inside the house; only able to visit and see the outside sky within the house backyard.
The girl, understanding the circumstances that befell on her, obediently did as she was told. She asked no questions about what happened and gave no comment on her side of the story. It was her choice to be mute about it and so did her parents.
As was before, her daily routines inside the house consisted mainly of house chores. She would clean the plates after their meals, took buckets of water enough for her lanky arms to lift in and out of the kitchen and feed the family's livestock and poultry every morning and afternoon.
One morning when she stepped out of the kitchen door and into the backyard garden, she caught sight of a man sitting on top of one of the partition walls of her neighbor. He was wearing an odd dress not considered common in Samaria. It looked foreign as the metallic silvery cloth hugged the man like a God. One leg was stretched idly, while the other was bent with his right hand resting on top the knee. His head and back was leaning against another taller partition wall while looking at the blue sky. The man was beautiful, the girl thought, with straight golden brown hair in shoulder length, a chiseled jaw and a slender neck. What she was immediately captivated though was one striking detail about him: wings.
A birdman — that instantly registered in her mind, comparing it to the chickens she was supposed to feed during that time.
"Hey Mister, " she called with her soft voice, eyes twinkling in anticipation.
"Mister!" she called again, this time in a louder voice.
But the stranger still didn't move from his idle position. It was either he was deaf or he was just ignoring her.
Stepping more closely to the wall, she called out again, looking up, "Mister! Hey!"
And that drew the stranger's attention. He looked down and stared at the odd sight before him. Then, his brows furrowed when he noted that the girl's focus was directly on him; not the cypress tree behind him nor the clouds above his head.
How did this girl able to see him?
"You can see me?" the stranger spoke, his manly voice like a melodic tune.
The girl nodded and smiled excitedly. "Are you a birdman?" she asked.
"A birdman?" the man parroted and raised a brow in confusion. He tilted his head and thinned his eyes, examining the girl's playful aura. "Why do you say so, Little One?"
"Because you have wings, " she answered, giggling thereafter.
The winged man smiled and then jumped down the tall wall to her front effortlessly. "Don't compare me with your fat chickens, Little One. I am no birdman because I don't have a beak. I am an angel — your guardian angel."
"My guardian angel?" she asked, a bit dazed.
"Yes, your guardian angel. Isn't that great?"
Suddenly, her playfulness dulled and what replaced was sadness. The twinkle in her eyes disappeared and her smile broke down. She lowered her head to the ground and whispered, "I don't need a guardian angel."
The angel's heart twitched after hearing her words. For the record, it was the first time a human rejected her guardian angel.
"I just need a friend, " the girl added. "Father doesn't want me to play outside with my friends anymore. He says it is for my own safety, but I feel lonely here. I don't need a guardian angel. I need a friend. It would be great if I have one."
"Then, let me be your friend, " the angel suggested with a kind smile. He wasn't supposed to say that but he did anyway, at least to ease the sadness in the girl's eyes. "Little One, you are lucky because not only am I your guardian angel, I will also become your friend. Do you like that?"
He crouched low and leveled his face to meet hers. Their eyes connected: glowing amber ones to creamy hazel, and the angel saw the innocence and purity in it.
He tipped her chin up with his finger like a friendly gesture and the girl beamed a smile.
"Yes, I like that a lot, " she said with a cheerful blush on her cheeks.
"Then, tell me your name, Little One. I would want to know the name of my first human friend."
He stood up and patted the girl's head.
"Ysabelle, " she said, stretching her hands to touch the white feathers.
"Good. And I am Aestaroath, Little Ysabelle. Your protector, your guardian angel and your friend, " he said and though it wasn't his willingness to, he shifted slightly to have the girl touch his wings more leisurely.
"Why are you gawking Aestaroath? Seriously, do you know you have been acting strange for an angel lately?" Ysabelle asked, eyeing the angel with arms akimbo.
ot André, of course, " she shifted slightly, feeling uncomfortable with the change of the man's treatment. "You are family, you are my friend. You will always be close to my heart."
This was his usual self too. Back from the time when the brotherhood's plan was still not known, she and Andrébecame very close friends, but never was there a time that he hid his feelings for her; he was always vocal about it, and she, always turning him down. There were times when he was just fooling around, but there were also times when he was serious. Right now... most especially now... Ysabelle knew he was dead-set on expressing it.
"But I want to be the only person inside your heart Ysabelle, " was his answer. "I don't want to share it with my family or anybody else."
Or with Marcus... but good thing he doesn't know that.
Ysabelle shifted subtly to move back in her seat.
"No, André, we can't talk about that subject again. I told you already I am not open to such ideas."
He released a ragged breath and stared at her for a long minute, taking in all of her beauty under the afternoon sun. "You know, after I finally recovered from my unfortunate condition, I realized one thing, " he then continued.
"What is?" Ysabelle responded, not looking at him; her eyes resting on the beautiful rose blooms.
"That I don't want to be a pawn to the brotherhood's wishes. I don't want to be a prisoner of their pathetic rules, Ysabelle. I want to be my own master. I want to act in accordance to what I want and not what was expected or ordered of me, by my father or by Sion."
His eyes became desperate, needy... and Ysabelle began to feel an uncomfortable cold when she happened to glance on them.
"I want to express my love to you completely, " he continued, "If I wasn't able to show that in the past because I am bound by the rules, now that I am given a second chance, I will grab the opportunity to do it."
Ysabelle cleared her throat. She blinked twice and diverted her eyes away from him.
"I'm sorry André. I can't, " she said calmly.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her slightly, making her lean towards him.
Her brows twitched, feeling angry all of the sudden. "You know already why!" she exclaimed, flailing her free hand in the air, but then her anger suddenly dissipated and was replaced with sadness... pure, unfiltered sadness when she remembered Marcus. "I want to...die, " her voice shook, "I can't handle this loneliness anymore..."
And the loneliness that will come in the future with Marcus' death.
André, disregarding the battle of affliction she was in, remarked with ill-timed enthusiasm, "But you won't be lonely with me. I will give you everything you want Ysabelle. I will shower you with passion."
This time he pulled her closer by the waist and was about to brazenly kiss her when she pushed his chest forcefully away.
"Andréplease... let me go, " was her stern order.
Luckily, he did but only in the waist. His other hand was still holding her wrist securely.
"Accept me and you will not regret it, " was his bold promise. His eyes were dark, like a thunder storm ready to pour at any time.
Ysabelle, like those same times he confessed his feelings to her, just shrugged it off, pulling her wrist out of his hold and stood up quickly.
"I'm sorry, André. I just can't...accept your feelings, " she said and left the garden leaving him in deep contemplation.
"Ysabelle, " he whispered coldly, tightening both of his fists in anger as he watched her retreating back.

From 'World War Z' to World War I
Max Brooks dips into history for his new graphic novel, ''The Harlem Hellfighters,'' the tale of a decorated all-black infantry regiment
By Jeff Labrecque
March 28, 2014 at 04:00 AM EDT
After best-selling author Max Brooks told Random House his next project would be a black-and-white graphic novel about a little-known all-black World War I regiment, he was likely met with an awkward silence. But the publisher probably had doubts when he pitched a book about zombies, too.
In The Harlem Hellfighters, the creator of World War Z resurrects the heroics of the mighty 369th U.S. Army Infantry Regiment in WWI. The unit faced appalling bigotry: They were forced to train in hostile South Carolina, issued broomsticks instead of guns, and eventually dumped on the depleted French army — and then became one of the most decorated Allied fighting units.
Brooks, the 41-year-old son of Mel Brooks and the late Anne Bancroft, has been ruminating on the story for three decades. When his screenplay was repeatedly rejected, he partnered with artist Caanan White on the graphic novel. Less than 48 hours after the finished book made the rounds, Sony picked up the movie rights for producer Will Smith. Brooks dreams of a big-name cast like that of 1962's WWII classic The Longest Day. But he's also cautious. "Whether this movie gets made or whether it doesn't, the book lives," he says.
The story of the Harlem Hellfighters has been ignored by most history books, but you've been obsessed with it for 30 years. How did a 10-year-old discover them?
My parents had assistants, and part of their job was picking me up from school. They had this one guy, Michael Furmanovsky, a university student getting his degree in history. He was picking me up from school, and he said it just as a throwaway: "Hey, did you know that there was a unit of black soldiers that the U.S. government set up to fail in World War I?" I couldn't believe it. To a 10-year-old white kid from the west side of L.A., that kind of injustice was incomprehensible. But what made it stick was the fact that I was just a weird kid — I was interested in that kind of stuff.
When did you decide that this was a story you wanted to tell?
In the late '90s, when TNT did Buffalo Soldiers and [HBO did] the first Tuskegee Airmen movie, I thought [Hollywood] might be interested in the story. It went beyond race, because the truth is, if you take out the color of their skin and just look at their combat record, the Hellfighters spent more time in combat than any other American unit. The first American to win the Croix de Guerre was one of them. And they brought jazz to France. If these guys had been white, they would've been part of our American narrative since the 1920s. So I wrote the script and nobody wanted it. Everyone was like, "No, no, no. We're not going to do a story about black soldiers in a war nobody cares about."
A lot of authors write a graphic novel hoping it will become a movie. You went the opposite route. When did you shift?
That was five or six years ago, right around the time I was actually working on Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks, my first foray into comics. The great thing about a graphic novel is that you don't have to worry about money. The stakes are much smaller. It could be as long and have as much information as I wanted. So when it came time for Random House to ask me, "Well, what's your next project?" I said, "I want this to be my next book." I think they were kind of hoping for World War Z: Part II.
After I read the novel, I did some homework to see if you had embellished the slights that black U.S. soldiers endured from their own government. Of course, you hadn't embellished at all.
Since I've been working on this for 15 years, there were a couple moments where I had to actually go back and revisit my research material, because I didn't believe it. That secret letter from General Pershing to the French [telling them not to commend black soldiers], you can read it in its entirety at the library. It's shocking, the lengths that our own government would go to — the energy expended on defeating its own soldiers instead of defeating the Germans.
The character Edge is fictional, but you named him after a professor of yours in college.
Wayne Edge was an amazing professor. He told me that the greatest crime white people ever committed against black people was erasing their history. That stuck with me. It's hard to face your future when you don't have the confidence of your past.
You use pop culture from the period as crucial plot elements, including D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation, a blatantly racist film that reflected attitudes of the time — so much so that Woodrow Wilson screened it at the White House.
I had seen Birth of a Nation in college, and it just blew me away. The movie itself didn't blow me away; it was the reaction to it. Like you said about Wilson, people loved that movie — white people. That was the Star Wars of its day.
After years of rejection by studios, your story is now in development at Sony. Was it just a matter of having something tangible to hand someone, or did 12 Years a Slave perhaps represent some shift in Hollywood?
It's funny you ask that, because I get asked that all the time about zombies. Like, when I wrote Zombie Survival Guide, nobody was writing about zombies and now zombies are everywhere and why is that? I don't know. Maybe it was a combination. Maybe it's a combination of The Butler, 42, and 12 Years a Slave. Maybe the Trayvon Martin case has brought racism back into the forefront. Maybe there's just so many times you can call the President of the United States a subhuman mongrel before people get angry. I mean, Ted Nugent just called President Obama a subhuman mongrel. He's talking about race mixing. Race mixing, we have to remember, used to be a hanging offense in this country. On racism, I think we've made unbelievable strides, obviously. But clearly, as Ted Nugent reminds us, we still have a ways to go.

Curiosity is one of those quintessential aspects of man which can not ever be satisfied. It is prominently marked in history that men, in all ages, have wanted to know more and more about various things and places. In order to gain insight, they have studied numerous books and travelled innumerable borders. It was nothing but their intent desire to explore that led Columbus and Vasco dar Gama to be able to discover America and India, respectively.
Back when printing had not yet come into existence, and newspapers were not yet developed, travellers played an undeniably crucial role. People of a city or a village fed their curiosity and gathered news about what is happening in other parts of the world through travelling. They related the details of the various traditions followed by people of different places and regions. Listeners learned, with interest, what they could not fetch from any other source. These travellers, also, speculated and wrote books on the observed lifestyles of people and places they explored.
Travel is not just mere source of education but also a gratifying experience. No matter how much amount of description is provided by a book or a person, it just cannot substitute a personal visit to that particular place. The impact and the fun of seeing that place for oneself is obviously far greater than just reading about it from somewhere. Generally when we travel routinely from home to our workplace, we start to lose interest in the surroundings and do not pay attention to the changes that take place on our route. Compared to when we are at a new place, we tend to pay attention to even the minor details of the surroundings. It is our inquisitiveness that makes us attentive and our mind starts taking mental notes of the new surroundings.
– Some tourists hiking at a Finnish Wildlife Forest.
Leading the life of a fish in the pond narrows our mental perspective and we begin to limit ourselves to that very pond and regard it as our "world". Travelling fills us with new and positive energy and familiarises us of the vividness of this humongously vast world. We get to see new faces and meet new people, learn new languages, enjoy different cuisines, wear different dresses and observe lifestyles having nothing in common with ours. We even get to learn and benefit from the scientific, social and political studies being carried out in the institutions prevailing in the respective countries all around the world.
Many problems arise due to the fact that people seldom visit any places other than their own. Living at far ends of the world they can only see what they are being shown by the media and be judgemental about people's problem. They cannot realise what others are ACTUALLY going through nor can they understand other's problems. When one gets to look at a problem closely and from another's point of view, they understand the problem better and realise the unreasonableness of one's own stand.
For people travelling but not knowing what place to visit; travel guide sites are doing a great job. You are going to find numerous online forums as well, where people who have been there are found to be discussing how good or bad a certain place is and why is that so. You can get to know all the prerequisite minor details of whatever place(s) you are looking forward to visit.
We get to read about historical monuments very often but they remain in our minds as mere "abstract word-mass". Travel brings them to life. When we get to see the monuments we read or heard about, in person, you experience an unparallel thrill. Visiting far-flung places not easily reachable via transport, can be a little inconvenient, but therein lays the incomparable thrill of being able to conquer the distance. Thus it also satisfies the spirit of adventure in us. Not to mention; satisfying that human urge of facing challenges successfully.
I don't think I have to state anymore advantages of travelling, you better be convinced now!
And in case you need any guidance regarding a certain place, take help from the numerous travel guide sites and forums available on the internet.
Travel as much as your pocket allows you.
It is not just refreshing but enlightening too.

LAST WEEKEND Journey To Empowerment Exhibit at Harold Washington library
Emmett Till's lynching kicked off the Civil Rights Movement.
Visitors to Harold Washington Library and 88 satellite libraries will have an opportunity to explore the treasured archives of the iconic Chicago Defender newspaper. Still making history, the company hired the paper's first female publisher, Cheryl Mainor, who in turn hired the first female executive editor, Kai EL'Zabar, in 2014.
A four-month exhibition of images and memorabilia from the Chicago Defender's historical archives titled "Journey to Empowerment" opened to the public on Wednesday, March 11 at 6 p.m. at the Harold Washington Library, 400 S. State Street, in the Special Collections Gallery. There was a special book signing of a biography of Ethel Payne written by James McGrath Morris. Known as the "First Lady of the Black Press," Payne was a Chicago Defender reporter for many years. In Eye on the Struggle: Ethel Payne, the First Lady of the Black Press, Morris illuminates this ambitious, influential and groundbreaking woman's life, from her childhood growing up in South Chicago to her career as a journalist and network news commentator covering some of the most crucial events in modern American history.
The exhibit will be on view through June 28. The Chicago Defender hosted a reception last month at its offices as a prelude to the exhibition. Guests at the reception had a sneak peek of images that captured news of the past as snapshots of the "Journey" that will be on display at the library.
Celebrating 110 years of the legendary newspaper, viewers will first learn of Robert S. Abbott's vision and drive, taking a walk through the newspaper's front pages and photos that detail a history of "The Race" in Chicago. The exhibition offers a visual experience of the "Journey to Empowerment" through the eyes of Black Chicago, providing an insight into the migration of a people. Images of people, events and actual old newspapers fill the gallery while gracing the viewer with the opportunity to be a voyeur who sees events from the perspective of those upon whose shoulders we stand.
Photos of movie stars of the day, musicians who rocked the charts, politicians who changed history, cartoons that captured "Blackisms" and the writings of some of the nation's best writers, including Langston Hughes, Earl Calloway, Ethel Payne, Gwendolyn Brooks and Willard Motley — whose pen name was Bud Billiken — are all on view.
For the children, there is a "soft-tech" wall that allows them to be Junior Billiken Reporters for the day!
"JTE 110 is a look back at the genius and heart that pioneered this paper and the paper's propulsion into the 21st century," said Candace Hunter, "Journey to Empowerment's" curator and Chicago Defender's arts and culture reporter.
The journey began during World War I when the Defender utilized its influence to wage a successful campaign in support of "The Great Migration." It published blazing editorials, articles and cartoons lauding the benefits of the North, posted job listings and train schedules to facilitate the relocation and went so far as to declare May 15, 1917 the date of "The Great Northern Drive." The Chicago Defender's support of The Great Migration caused Southern readers to migrate to the North in record numbers. Between 1916 and 1918, at least 110,000 people migrated to Chicago, nearly tripling the city's Black population.
So expect to bear witness to the rich, dynamic past and present of African Americans and have your senses flooded with a waterfall of joyful memories.
The exhibition shows how history was recorded at that moment in time and how we are communicating history in the present for the enrichment of our future.

Conventional light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) is performed with two objectives oriented orthogonally to each other so that one objective introduces the light sheet and the other detects the fluorescence signal. However, this orientation requires the detection objective to be placed slightly away from the sample to prevent the two objectives colliding in space. Therefore, a long working distance detection objective is necessary which means that high NA, oil-immersion objectives are incompatible with the conventional LSFM design.
This presents a problem for the detection of cellular or subcellular structures which require a high NA detection objective and coverslip-based mounted samples for the superior resolution and light collection efficiency.
The Mizar TILT overcomes this problem by removing the illumination objective and introducing a tilted light sheet through a photomask and cylindrical lens which can be made to converge at the working distance of high NA objectives. In this way, high magnification and high NA (60x, 1.49), oil-immersion objectives can be used to image coverslip-based mounted samples.
Like all light sheet systems, the Mizar TILT is designed to minimize photodamage and photobleaching to live samples by reducing the light source intensity and reducing exposure times. This allows for longer acquisitions to be made to monitor live processes over longer timescales.
One way to reduce exposure times is to use a more sensitive camera. CMOS devices are typically used in LSFM for the combination of a large field of view and fast speed but the sensitivity isn't that high. EMCCD cameras are more sensitive than CMOS devices but suffer from small fields of view and slow speeds which makes them unappealing for LSFM applications.
The back-illuminated Prime 95B Scientific CMOS camera with an almost perfect 95% quantum efficiency and large 11µm pixels is the perfect fit for the Mizar TILT.
The sensitivity of the Prime 95B is equivalent to an EMCCD but it retains the field of view and speed advantages of a CMOS camera. Furthermore, the larger pixels of the Prime 95B allow for high-resolution imaging with higher magnification objectives which the Mizar TILT was designed to use. This allows exposure times to be reduced and cells to be imaged for much longer with high detail.
Image acquired on the Mizar TILT under 150x magnification with a 1.49NA TIRF objective, 0.2 µm step size. 100 ms exposure using the Prime 95B scientific CMOS camera, cropped to 550x750 pixels.

Q: How to compute modulo on BigInts in JS Given a BigInt in JS, how do you compute its modulo?
10n % 3 // Uncaught TypeError: can't convert BigInt to number

edit: the difference between this question and the one linked as similar is that this question only pertains to BigInt https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt which is fairly recent.

A: Both operands of an arithmetic operation involving a BigInt must be BigInts. In your case:
// BigInt literal
10n % 3n;

// BigInt explicit conversion
10n % BigInt(3);

The disappointing silence from the top
Posted on February 27, 2006	by Will Moss
It's been nearly two weeks since representatives of Cisco, Microsoft, Yahoo and Google testified before the House Subcommittee on Human Rights about their various entanglements with China. As expected, after blowing hot in the run-up to the testimony, coverage has cooled a great deal. Unless there is substantial progress with Rep. Chris Smith's proposed legislation, the issue will probably stay cool until the next crisis moment emerges. But emerge it surely will.
I read the written testimony submitted by the four companies, although I've not read a full transcript of the Q&A. All the companies pretty much responded as expected. They all, without fail, talked about the transformative power of the Internet and the benefits it is bringing to China. They all tried to explain how they've weighed the implications of being in China.
They also all addressed the specifics of their individual cases. Cisco explained that it sells the exact same equipment to China that it sells to anyone else, without special modification, and that the technology that enables content filtering is the same that enables network security. Yahoo addressed the Shi Tao case, and the fact that operational control of Yahoo China lies essentially entirely with Jack Ma's Alibaba.com (a risk that may haunt them in future, since it may place the brand at risk). Microsoft discussed the Michael Anti case. And Google, of course, discussed the considerations that went into the recent launch of their self-censored google.cn site, as well as the ongoing drop in their market share that they feel is rooted in filtering-based performance issues.
It was thoughtful, rational and articulate. It was full of motherhood statements about the Internet company values. It was, in short, exactly what you'd expect from three general counsels (Microsoft, Yahoo and Cisco) and a vice president of global communications (Google).
For instance, here is Microsoft Associate General Counsel, Jack Krumholtz:
Will the citizens of that country be better off without access to our services, or will their absence just vindicate those who see our presence in the country as threatening to their official or commercial interests?
And Yahoo General Counsel, Michael Callahan:
First, our principles. Since our founding in 1995, Yahoo! has been guided by beliefs deeply held by our founders and sustained by our employees. We believe the Internet can positively transform lives, societies, and economies.
These were all the messages that needed to be delivered. But I see two problems. First, as expected, they lost the war of imagery and emotion. Out of necessity, the companies needed to be defensive and rational. Unlike their interrogators, who are playing to voters only, they are playing to three separate constituencies: the general public who are their customers and advertisers; the shareholders to whom they have fiduciary obligations; and the Chinese government, who was no doubt watching very carefully. Addressing all three of those audiences requires a measured and diplomatic approach. But in the war for general public opinion, they are then left contending with statements like this from Representative Chris Smith:
Through an approach that monitors, filters, and blocks content with the use of technology and human monitors, the Chinese people have little access to uncensored information about any political or human rights topic, unless of course, Big Brother wants them to see it. Google.cn, China's search engine, is guaranteed to take you to the virtual land of deceit, disinformation and the big lie.
But the worst came in an act of confrontational demagoguery from Congressman Tom Lantos, a man who represents Imagethief's home constituency in the San Francisco Bay Area, who carries the unimpeachable aura of a Holocaust survivor (a fact cited in most articles I read about his participation in the subcommittee) and who has long taken a dim view of China's government (opposed WTO entry, opposed awarding the Olympics, etc.). Lantos notoriously called all four company representatives on the carpet, asking each in turn if he was ashamed of the actions of his company. From a longer transcript on CNET:
Rep. Tom Lantos: Can you say in English that you're ashamed of what your company and what the other companies have done?
Google: Congressman, I actually can't, I don't think it's fair for us to say that we're ashamed.
Lantos: You have nothing to be ashamed of?
Google: I am not ashamed of it, and I am not proud of it…We have taken a path, we have begun on a path, we have done a path that…will ultimately benefit all the users in China. If we determined, congressman, as a result of changing circumstances or as a result of the implementation of the Google.cn program that we are not achieving those results then we will assess our performance, our ability to achieve those goals, and whether to remain in the market.
Yow. Trapped. A seven word question that will stick in everyone's head, and an eighty-three word response that no one will remember, but precious few better options considering those three different constituencies. Maybe I'm getting conservative in my middle-age (I'm a longtime liberal Democrat), or maybe the CCP is spiking my drinking water, but I didn't think much of Mr. Lantos' approach. Here is another statement, from the press release Lantos issued the day before the hearings:
"The hugely successful businesses that come before Congress tomorrow will have to account for their complicity in China's culture of repression, and to begin to make amends," Lantos said. "Government can be expected to do only so much. It is up to these wealthy entrepreneurs to help ensure that the free flow of information from which they have profited is offered worldwide."
Well, aside from the fact that the final statement is patently wrong, this does raise a very interesting question that cuts to the heart of my complaint about how the companies dealt with the hearings. While I don't think the wealthy entrepreneurs have any obligation to ensure that a free flow of information is offered worldwide (that ignores political realities that extend far beyond China and in cases may simply not make business sense), I am a little mystified as to their silence.
Here is why. The technology industry suffers from an interesting syndrome. It is a time honored practice among tech companies to build founders and CEOs up as evangelical prophets of the transformative power of technology, which is promoted as revolutionary and encompassing in a way that, say, shipping, fast-moving consumer goods, cars, energy, and so on are not. No industry is more susceptible to the CEO/founder cult of personality or mystique, and no industry more flagrantly positions founders and CEOs as "visionaries" than the tech industry does. This is especially important in the Internet generation of companies, all of whom were created in the last fifteen years and are still led by founders. It is only slightly less true for Microsoft.
The cult of the youthful billionaire genius touches three of the four companies involved in these hearings. Bill Gates of Microsoft may be the pre-eminent technologist of the age. Jerry Yang and David Filo of Yahoo are famous and highly visible, as is CEO Terry Semel, a Hollywood veteran who knows a thing or two about showmanship. And Sergey Brin and Larry Page of Google are in a league all their own. Cisco may suffer from less of this syndrome because, although it is young and CEO John Chambers is well known, it is not first and foremost a consumer oriented firm as the other three are.
Where were all these Internet visionaries as this storm broke?
This is an important question because, Cisco aside, these firms are all, for better or for worse, closely associated with the personal values of their highly visible founders. Those values are part of what defines their public images and brands. This is especially true of Google, where the relationship between the founders' values and the company's values are formalized in the "Don't Be Evil" mantra that has become such a millstone during the controversy. On page 211 of David Vise's book, The Google Story (as unanalytical a bit of hagiography as you will find), it is recalled that:
Stanford Professor Terry Winograd says that Segey [Brin] has lead the way on three Ps: Policy, Politics and People. (When once asked what the motto Don't Be Evil meant, CEO Eric Schmidt famously replied that evil is whatever Sergey says is evil.)
And on page 257 it says.
[Google's] very motto, Don't Be Evil, was a thinly veiled way of letting the technologists of the world know that Larry and Sergey were not just the Google Guys, but the Good Guys, who did the right thing for users and employees and had fun too.
That's channeling founders' values through the company, and using them to build the brand. Michael Callahan of Yahoo does the same thing in his testimony, quoted above. And it makes the silence of all these technology luminaries in the breach seem odd and somehow discordant.
One of the most common requests that crosses Imagethief's desk is for communication plans to help technology executives position themselves as "thought leaders". Unfortunately, "thought leadership" is an often abused concept in PR, with salesmanship, cheerleading and banality often masquerading in its place. The most interesting proposals are often rejected as too risky. Certainly thought leadership is easier when times are good. But it's important when controversy arises, such as now. On the table is one of the most important issues of our time: what is the relationship between a commercial Internet and the right to freedom of speech, and should the American companies who are driving the evolution of the Internet be considered international custodians of that right?
Leadership is about risk (something that these entrepreneurs all know). Thought leadership is about intellectual risk. If it is unlikely to be argued with or shouted down, it's probably not thought leadership. This was an opportunity for thought leadership if ever there was one. But there was little thought leadership to be had. That is a shame, because I am sure that all of these phenomenally bright and opinionated technologists are thinking deeply about this issue and debating it inside their companies.
But maybe there was no other choice. As I noted above, the companies are burdened with three different audiences, each of which has a substantially different interest in this situation. Consumers and advertisers want to feel good about the brands of the companies they patronize. Shareholders want growth. China wants foreign firms to toe the line and avoid controversy. Employees may even constitute a fourth important group in this kind of situation. That puts the companies in a supremely delicate position, where every public communication has to be considered from multiple angles if a disaster is to be averted.
But if you build your brand on the company founders' values and leadership, and they then remain silent when those values are being questioned and leadership is most necessary, then your brand is at risk. And, in the meantime, people with fewer stakeholders to please will hammer at you from all sides.

Qatar: Action Against Store Selling Counterfeit Items
by United Trademark & Patent Services (Dubai)
United Trademark & Patent Services
In the pursuit of tackling the menace of counterfeit activities, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry along with the cooperation of Ministry of Interior in Qatar, carried out a joint inspection program, on a retail outlet working in a residence in Msheireb for selling counterfeit products and goods of international brands on social media.
The inspection campaign resulted in issuing a violation against the retail outlet for displaying and selling counterfeit products and goods bearing international marks on social media platforms, as well as for practicing the commercial activity without obtaining the necessary licensing. The due legal measures were taken against the violators.
Such interventions provide an assurance that the IP authority, MOCI and the MOI in Qatar, will not tolerate the acts of unfair competition, counterfeiting and infringement of trademarks, by keeping a vigilant eye on suspected acts/behaviors.

Passing the Torch in Zambia: Let's Talk About Sustainability
Literacy, Africa, Zambia,
Literacy Africa Zambia
Sustainability. It's a word that is now being used to talk about everything from food to clothes and businesses and about everything in between. Sustainability has become a well-established buzzword, perhaps because there just are not very many good synonyms for the idea or perhaps because it helps sell coffee, but mostly because sustainability matters. At Room to Read, when we talk about sustainability in education, we're talking about respecting the dignity and agency of all people, and empowering and equipping communities to take hold of their futures. Sustainability also matters in a world where there are far more things to do than time to do them. We need to know that what we're doing is leading us to a better tomorrow, and that the investments we make can last. This was the precisely question in the air at a recent ceremony handing over 43 school libraries supported by Room to Read in Zambia to the local districts, Chilanga and Kafue.
Chilanga representative ceremonially opening the library.
Samantha Msoni, who has been investing in these libraries and training teachers and librarians for the past three years there, attended the ceremonial passing of the torch to the Zambian Library Service. Even though Samantha knew that this transfer of responsibility was necessary for sustainability, and that it would enable them to start new projects in order to reach more communities in need, she couldn't help but worry. Like a caring parent watching her child graduate, she says, "I sat listening attentively to the speeches with mixed feelings and worried about a number of things." "Of course my first reaction was that I would miss working in these schools, the Head teachers and the Teacher Librarians in whom I had invested a lot." She also worried about the improvements she still wanted to make in some of the schools and wanted to know that the new caretaker would help support the libraries and communities. Her fears were put to rest as she listened to the Zambian Library Service representative outline their mandate. "Listening to his speech felt like he was reading our own strategy." She recalls sharing a knowing glance with our Zambian country director as they both felt a wave of relief knowing these 43 school libraries would be in good hands. "Now we can safely direct our efforts to other districts knowing it is well with Chilanga and Kafue!"
At Room to Read we are very proud of the fact that we have been able to reach over 8,000,000 children, and have built more than 16,000 libraries. While we love building and establishing libraries and watching our progress numbers go up, we are much more anxious that these libraries continue to function at their highest capacity because a library that thrives helps children to thrive.
Therefore, after enough time had passed, we revisited a large sample of libraries years after they had completed our three year project support cycle to see if they were still functioning. We were eager to know whether or not our work was achieving sustainability. So how had they fared? Answer: unbelievably well. An amazing 97% of these libraries were still functioning with many having even made further quality improvements. And thanks to improved library monitoring and evaluation and community engagement strategies, we expect this trend to go even further so that millions more children may have access to a quality library and a quality education for years to come.

The same day I came out to co-workers, I paid the several hundred dollars to file a petition to change my name. Ellis and Abdill were found four days later in the back of their pickup, both gagged and bound, shot in the head execution-style, covered with cardboard boxes. I was living miserably, and just a few months after arriving at CNN in June , I was ready to crack.

Bret Michaels is fighting back at reports that he had a tear-filled meltdown after becoming the first boardroom casualty on Donald Trump's 'All-Star Celebrity Apprentice'.
The elimination, Michaels contends, was "a scripted kill" because no other previous winners agreed to compete.
Michaels — who postponed numerous concerts and television commitments to participate on the show — says 'Apprentice' staffers later told him it "wasn't good television" to have him advance on the show a second time.
Though he failed to win any money on the episode, Michaels says he immediately flew home to Arizona, booked a local theater and put on a concert with all proceeds benefiting his Life Rocks Foundation.
Michaels is currently filming the new reality series, 'Rock My RV', which will premiere this spring on The Travel Channel.

Ned Steinberger needs no introduction. Having created some of the most innovative instruments in the last 30 years, he has deserved a reputation as one of the best instrument designer in modern times.
After selling his own Steinberger company, he started NSDesign with the idea of creating a classical string quartet that would be based on the original instruments but taking them one step farther.
Rather than working on making instruments that would mimic the originals in terms of playability, Ned decided to create new instruments that would allow the player new and exciting ways to play and amplify them.
The CR4M has a standard ¾ scale and a really nice ebony board.
Perhaps the most striking and unexpected innovation is that there is no neck joint. This automatically allows any player to play any note right to the end of the fingerboard.
The special D'addario strings and dot position markers all make for an instrument that is easy to play and inviting.
The included tripod stand allows the bass to stand on its own rather than having to use your left hand and leg as supports.
Of course the electronics are very well thought: the EMG magnetic pickups produce a sweet fretless sound and can be blended with the piezo pickups in the bridge.
Piezo mode actually consists of two different positions: pizz for a solid all round sound with a nice sustain to it, and arco, for the best bowed sound in the market. Blending pizz & arco 50/50 produces a sound that is rich in mids and has a shorter sustain, so you would be using this more than anything in a band situation (this sound is the closest you get to an amplified double bass).
I just cannot say enough good things about this instrument. If you have never played double bass, this is a good chance to start on a top quality instrument that will simply put things easier for you.
If you are an experienced double bass player, you'll have to come with an open mind.
It is easier to adjust the bridge for a lower or higher action to suit your needs. If you are a die hard player you might prefer to use regular strings. There is even a "Traditional" model with a small piece at the neck joint as a familiar reference, so you may order it.
