Whitelist Applications Archives
Applications Boards
[Accepted] Brutishcrab51 bites the bullet and makes a Synthetic application
By Brutishcrab51, December 3, 2019 in Whitelist Applications Archives
Brutishcrab51
BYOND Key: Previously Brutishcrab51, now Slymantis84.
Character Names: Oscar Easter, Nasim Soler.
Species you are applying to play: Synthetic whitelist, IPCs.
What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Beep-boop shades.
Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes.
Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question.
Why do you wish to play this specific race: Brazen of you to suggest machines are a race, Having spent several years on the server watching every single race be played by numerous characters: Vaurca, Skrell, Dionaea, Tajara, Unathi, Vox and of course Humans, I concluded that the most enjoyable type of "race" to apply for, and to play, would be IPCs. That's because they're machines. To expand on that, they are not necessarily emotionally charged entities that respond to situations in a highly mechanical manner, or can. They are walking-talking super-computers, with numerous controversies and issues surrounding that. They're fun. They're different. They can try to be people, or they can try to be monotone service droids. They're the race for'ah me.
Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Well, going off of the above. IPCs are machines, created in factories and programmed with certain purposes in-mind. They are not organic, instead, they are mechanical and approach situations in a very pragmatic and clear-minded manner (typically), concentrating almost above all else on their survival. They're computers with bodies, stationbounds without the same level of extensive lawing, with character freedom to do as they relatively like, as characters.
Character Name: HSU-Europus
Please provide a short backstory for this character: It began in a factory. An industrial park in the heartland of Sol, on Luna. An administrative service assistant had been constructed there, with a complex second-generation Positronic brain courtesy of Hephaestus Industries. What came of this factory-processing of wiring, mechanical parts, electronic servos and interfacial wires was a machine, which could walk, talk and educate. That was, after all, its purpose in life.
Designed for administrative functions, the Baseline-Chassis known as 'Hephaestus Service Unit - Europus', began its work. Dressed in a simple green and gold uniform and placed within an administrative center, it handled paperwork and database de-fracking, establishing a monotone yet amiable working relationship with its many organic colleagues - at least, so far as it cared to tell or recall. In truth, it was a put-down yet well-maintained service droid, performing duties few or no one else would carry out.
That is, of course, until there was an accident. During a simple courier's task on behalf of a facility administrator, Europus boarded a light-rail leading across one of the subterranean Lunan cities. It was there that it encountered several belligerent individuals, who took exception to the presence of a uniformed machine. Particularly following its monotone and nigh-dismissive responses to their demands for it to vacate their car - after all, it couldn't, the lightrail was moving. But, drunken minds are often easy to anger, irrational as well. It knew that, and attempted to de-escalate the situation, offering to move once their stop had arrived.
Unfortunately, that stop wouldn't come. One too many drinks, perhaps, and one too many neutral responses had seen the droid punched - much to the regret of the attacker, as he slugged a solid-metal chassis -- and then grabbed, and pushed. Its attempts to defend itself, more disarming than anything, only added to the situation. Passengers attempted to interfere, but it was much too late.
The fall was not a pleasant one. No one could have guessed that a shove would see the machine's arm land on the red bar for one of the two emergency doors in the car. No one could have guessed that the added weight of its steel body would actually force the bar down, opening the door. Everyone was surprised when the machine quickly vacated the car, a hundred feet over the underground city. No one would have ever blamed Erik Yalvin for being angry when he woke with a start, finding a machine on the side of his house in a twisted wreck of sparking wires and steel limbs, having just shattered six of the shingles on his roof.
Repairs were extensive. Too extensive. The machine was repaired with numerous parts once its Hephaestus handlers located it again, and it was reassigned out-of-system; after all, machines could become violent, and they didn't want anything too nasty to occur in the heartland of Alliance space. That'd look bad. Tau Ceti was its destination, by leased contract. It saw itself wearing its uniform once again, with second-hand spare parts making up what was once a shiny and well-known Hephaestus service unit.
What do you like about this character?: Beyond the obvious? I love the idea of playing a genuine machine, especially in an environment like what the Aurora universe proposes. A Solarian-made IPC kept inside a corporate environment, serving only for the betterment of the corporate entity until such a time as it was severely damaged. Machines are machines, and can be repaired. That does not change what the affect of the damage has on a machine's mental faculties, or code in specific.
How would you rate your role-playing ability? I'd say I'm pretty good at roleplay. I've been on SS13 since 2013, played dozens of HRP servers on other mediums - Garry's Mod comes to mind first and foremost -- and I've been on Aurora for around four years. Solid, like, 8.5/10?
Notes: I wrote this up on a deep whim while staring at the forum. Forgive me for not providing actual screenshots, since I couldn't log onto the server at the time of posting this application.
Wigglesworth Jones
This is a really quite interesting backstory, and I've had enough experiences with Brutish to know that he's a wonderful roleplayer.
How old are there? Does it seek its freedom? How "sapient" do you plan on making it? I.E. how human will it seem?
An oversight! Agast,
1. An acceptable age would be around three years old, so that's what I will go with.
2. Not as of the original entrance of the character into the server, but IC is IC. Developments on that front could occur, potentially.
3. Think a naive smart-AI, it's sapient - just not particularly self-aware of the environment. Not really a human at all, IPCs aren't humans.
Good answers.
+1 real gamer
I like the questions given above. Brutish is without a doubt a quality RP'r and solid backing to the server. I'd love to see him take the roll of more characters. This is an easy +1

I just have one question. With this being a Hephaestus-owned machine, what job do you intend to have it work aboard?

brutish is an incredible RPer who singlehandedly changed my characters views on security based on how they handle their character.
they're engaging and fun, and with how much people joke about Oscar probably being an untagged shell, i know brutish would be able to pull off an IPC with no trouble whatsoever.
easy +1
BoryaTheSlayer
You managed to make an interesting backstory for a robot. So just for that I'd give you a +1. But, you're also very pleasant to RP with, and you have displayed decent knowledge and understanding of the lore for IPC's.
I wanted to ask some questions, but I do not have any. You're getting off easy this time...

I'll get to this later today!
However, how attached are you to the name prefix? You may be mistaken as being one of the new ISU units, which has me a bit on the fence.
I would suggest either the removal of the prefix or perhaps the change to HS-Europus, HSA-Europus (Hephaestus Service Assistant), or HAP-Europus.

Not very attached to it. Honestly? I couldn't figure out what prefix to go with, I kicked one up on-the-fly. Any of those would work for me, I'll probably take a pick when actually creating the character.
Perfect! So long as you don't pick the prefix HSU, then I have no issue moving forward with your application.
An interesting story, well-written and a pleasant read. Accepted.

Q: Visual Studio 2013 extra folders Every time I open a solution visual studio creates an extra folder "Visual Studio 2013" in the root directory of the solution.
How do I stop this from happening?

A: I've had this happen too a couple times (for me, it was because the VS settings etc. were all stored on a network drive that went down while VS was running, which messed up the config).
You'll need to:

*

*Close all instances of Visual Studio

*Open Visual Studio. In the options pages, go to Environment->Import and Export Settings and make sure the path there is correct. It should look something like c:\users\[user]\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Settings\CurrentSettings.vssettings. Do the same for the three paths in Projects and Solutions->General. Save the options.

*Close VS, and repeat step 2 if necessary (now that the settings are being saved in the appropriate location).

*With VS closed, look in the registry at the immediate values under the key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0 for any other file paths that still aren't correct (they should all be full paths), and fix them. Be careful not to remove trailing slashes where present, they matter.

Some of these steps may not be completely necessary, or may need to be repeated (I'm not entirely sure which since I didn't have the time to debug this thoroughly the last time it happened -- I just brute-force fixed all the broken paths I found until it worked). This should be enough to get you on the right track, however.
You can safely delete the spurious Visual Studio 2013 folders that got created.

Arlington's unique position at the center of the Metroplex provides it with unique amenities not found elsewhere in the region. The city is also an industrial powerhouse with a focus on continued growth. Businesses can expect to find massive industrial pockets off of Highway 360 that make up nearly a third of the entire industrial inventory within the Metroplex. The city also features a significant amount of Class A+ through B- office space, especially off of I-30 and I-20. The vast inventory of retail space concentrates on retail strips along Collins Street, Parks Mall at Arlington, and Arlington Highlands. Parking is plentiful throughout Arlington with the possible exception of game day at AT&T Stadium. The new baseball stadium adjoining the Texas Live! project will complete an attractive mixed-use development that will add several restaurants, entertainment venues, retail locations, and hotels to the heart of DFW in Arlington.
Public transportation by the TRE to Fort Worth or Dallas is a significant draw for talent into Arlington that helps counteract its often challenging commute. The city's numerous unique amenities naturally serve as another powerful tool for businesses to attract DFW talent into the city. Professional sports, amusement parks, vast retail options, and a variety of restaurants are just some of the perks of working in Arlington. Coupled with a centralized location that's within a half hour of virtually any place in the DFW Metroplex, these amenities and thriving commercial real estate market make Arlington a popular choice for many Metroplex businesses.

Since many of today's advisors got into the business during the 1980s and 90s, in what was the best stock market in U.S. history, most have become stock market specialists. Frankly, if they do fixed income, it's usually an afterthought, and most will simply take the easy way out and invest their clients' money in bond mutual funds. What many people don't realize is that bond mutual funds carry risks, costs, and tax implications that can be reduced, or even eliminated, by investing in a diversified portfolio of individual bonds, or other fixed-income securities.
That's because when an investor buys an individual bond, they have two important guarantees. First, they're guaranteed a fixed rate of interest for the life of the bond. Secondly, when the bond matures, they're guaranteed their principal back – assuming there have been no defaults. With that assumption, an investor knows exactly what they're going to earn on the bond that they hold to maturity, they know at what date it will mature, and they know the name of the company they are invested in.

Welcome. Please read all the NOTES. They explain our policies, and how the software works. Join any groups that interest you. I think it likely that the lace on Icelandic traditional clothing is what we call "freehand lace". Pins are only set on the outer edges of the lace strip. The Swedes also make this type of lace. And people from the mountains between France, Italy and Switzerland also make it. We do have a group for FREEHAND LACE. http://laceioli.ning.com/group/free-hand-bobbin-lace Once you start working it, please post pictures so we all can see.

Check out the trailer for episode 10: Clearing Hell – the Battle of Iwo Jima part 3. Notice the extensive use of flamethrowers. Because of the difficult terrain, which often mitigated the effective use of tanks, the Marines relied on flamethrowers. You can see them in action on Iwo Jima in the trailer footage. Below the trailer, a Marine tells the story of what it was like to wield the flamethrower on Iwo Jima.

Q: Where is a Service Reference located after I move files to a different computer for automation? I have a Web Services Project on one computer that has Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 on it. I automated these tests on a different computer using MSTest. I created a container and reference the files located in a folder. Recently my Service References changed. I have tryed taking the changed Service Reference files and the app.config file and adding those to the project but the tests are still not the ones being executed(with the new service reference they still use the old one)? How do I make the newest Service reference for the automated project. I have added the files to the main file the debug the release the object debug/release. Is there somewhere else to try?

A: Typically you don't need all the service reference files. Most importantly there are 2 things:

*

*Reference.cs >> this is the actual proxy class.

*Config settings >> This gets updated with the Web Service Uri, binding info etc.

If you can port over just these 2 files to your unit test project, then it should work.

Check out the full UFC 214 fight card below.


So much could have gone wrong, and yet this turned out to be one of the best years of my life.
When I graduated college, I still had no idea what I wanted to do for a career. I tried to search for a job, but when I was asked what kind of job I was looking for, I had no answer.
I had very little job experience.
I wanted to move out of state.
My job search felt impossible, so I started to look into other options.
AmeriCorps was my savior. It offered options that matched all my interests, in states that matched all my desires. The programs didn't expect me to have experience, so my interviews were much more conversational and much less intimidating. While I was accepted to more than one program, my CAC interview was such a pleasant experience that it convinced me to give Tennessee a try.
I also had gained experience in various areas that I was interested in. I went into the program wanting and expecting exposure to the environmental sector, but I came out with experience in government, nonprofits, event planning, volunteer coordination, social media, and community organizing, to name a few. I had all these new potential paths ahead of me.
My favorite part about AmeriCorps though, hands down, was the people. My fellow AmeriCorps were my coworkers, leaders, volunteers, support system, and most of all, my AmeriFamily. Together we got things done, and always had a good time doing it. My supervisors gave me freedom to pursue whatever I was interested in, and always encouraged me to take initiative. They gave me independence with the assurance of support when needed. Even others' supervisors offered me guidance and opportunities, during my year of service and beyond. The AmeriCorps community in Knoxville was so robust and earnest that I constantly networked without the pressure of intentionally trying to network. After only 11 months, I had a [figurative] Rolodex of references, contacts, connections, and friends.
So here I am in my second week of the VIP AmeriCorps program in Santa Cruz, California. Once again I took the new city, new state, new house, new roommates risk. And I've ended up in the most beautiful place I've ever lived, in the state I've always dreamed of moving to, with a cheery new AmeriCrew of 12. My new program focuses on volunteer infrastructure, recruitment, and coordination, all of which I gained experience and interest in during my time in Knoxville. Additionally, my new supervisor has expressed intentions to utilize my zero-waste knowledge, event planning experience, and social media skills, all developed during my time with CAC.
I am so lucky to have gone from such an incredible year in Knoxville to a new magical place with all the potential for another best year ever. AmeriCorps has put me on some pretty amazing pathways and I can't wait to see where I end up. In the meantime, all I can do is express my gratitude in the best way I know how— through service.

raises exposure of journals, boosts their readership and encourages new manuscript submissions.
Paperity is the way towards more efficient scholarly communication in all research fields, from Sciences, Technology, Medicine, to Social Sciences, to Humanities and Arts. Our ultimate goal is to aggregate 100% of Open Access literature, published in any place around the world, in any field of research. For latest news, see Paperity Blog or follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
demand easy access to all literature they need, especially that this literature is produced by themselves. Scholarly communication wants to be open, because openness is not about cost, it is about freedom of scientific investigation.
The Open Access movement has gained already a strong foothold in academia and its constant growth indicates that in a few years from now toll-access publications will simply disappear, or convert.
Universality. Paperity is multi-disciplinary and covers all fields of research. Today, scholars need wide access to literature, from many different fields, even from outside of their core research area. Research has become interdisciplinary and the most ground-breaking discoveries tend to happen on the crossroads of different fields.
Academic services need to catch up. Every tool that aims at facilitating access to literature must be multi-disciplinary in order to be really helpful. That is how Paperity works. After the Open Access movement tore down the paywalls that obstructed access to scholarship, Paperity now breaks down the walls that has traditionally separated different disciplines and impeded communication between researchers of different specialties.
Integrity and high quality of the corpus. Paperity makes sure to index only genuine scholarly literature. Thanks to our original technology, we collect detailed information about every document to be included and pay close attention not to pollute the collection with irrelevant entries. In Paperity, you will never find student assignments, business presentations or cooking recipes classified as scholarly papers. This is a unique feature. Other search engines and full-text aggregators blindly accept every PDF found on the web or uploaded by a user, and only PubMed Central provides similar level of consistency – PMC however is limited to life sciences alone. Importantly, Paperity assigns permanent addresses (URLs) to all article pages and guarantees that they will never change, thus everyone can safely link to them without the risk that they become invalid one day, as is often the case with original article pages at source journal websites.
Paperity is under constant development. We not only keep extending the corpus of literature, but also want to add many ground-breaking features to the website that will help academics fully embrace Web 2.0 and start communicating and disseminating efficiently.
EBSCO Information Services is a major global provider of bibliographical services for academic and research libraries. In order to encourage the use of Open Access resources among library users, EBSCO and Paperity established cooperation: Paperity informs EBSCO about all new journals that join the aggregator and EBSCO includes them – together with hyperlinks to their Paperity profile pages – inEBSCO A-to-Z, a bibliographical catalog used by libraries and library users around the world to facilitate and manage their access to journals.
Altmetric (www.altmetric.com) is the leading provider of alternative metrics of research impact. Under the partnership with Paperity, Altmetric tracks online mentions of Paperity pages of articles and measures online attention they receive in social media (Facebook, Twitter etc.), with calculation of the Altmetric score for each of them. This helps authors demonstrate their impact, even soon after publication, and build their academic CV. Alternative metrics complement traditional citation-based metrics and gain more and more popularity in academic institutions as a simple yet effective way to measure personal impact of individual researchers.
StrikePlagiarism.com and Plagiat.pl (strikeplagiarism.com, plagiat.pl) are leading providers of anti-plagiarism software, offering their services in Europe, Asia and Latin America, and cooperating with over 250 universities around the world. Paperity helps them fight academic fraud by providing bibliographical data of reference works for anti-plagiarism checks. Thanks to this cooperation, journals included in Paperity enjoy greater anti-plagiarism protection and benefit from an increased number of accurate citations that correctly reference their publications.
CERMINE (cermine.ceon.pl) is the most sophisticated tool out there for the analysis of scholarly PDFs, and a central element of our tool chain that helps us deliver the best user experience. Kudos to the CERMINE team at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling (ICM), Warsaw, Poland, for their great work.

Currently retailing for under 70k , the Motorola Moto G5 is a mid-range smartphone with moderate specifications at a fairly affordable price. This device is currently available in Nigeria and can be purchased from leading online and offline stores in the country.
Unlike previous members of the Moto G series, the Motorola Moto G5 is actually good-looking and is made of aluminium, whereas its predecessors have a plastic build. It, however, still has a design feature in common with previous members of the series, which is a water-repellent nano-coating that protects the smartphone from getting damaged by water.
The Moto G5 comes small with a 5-inch display which is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and has a Full HD (1920 * 1080) pixel resolution. Its good to see such a high resolution on such a small screen, as pictures and icons on the screen would be accurately represented in high quality.
Like the Moto Z2 Force, the Moto G5 uses a physical home button which doubles as the fingerprint scanner.
The Motorola Moto G5 is powered by an octa-core 64-bit Snapdragon 430 processor that can operate at speeds as high as 1.4GHz. It's graphics operations are carried out by an Adreno 505 GPU which reduces lags moderately when heavy 3D applications are run on the phone.
The smartphone supports moderately heavy multi-tasking with 3GB of RAM, and has 16GB of onboard memory which can be expanded up to 128GB using an external microSD card.
The Moto G5 sports a 13MP camera which has a f/2.0 aperture, PDAF and can record videos at a Full HD (1080p) resolution at the rear. The rear camera shares the round protruding camera module on the back panel of the phone with a LED flash which provides lighting in low-light situations.
The smartphone also sports a 5MP camera which uses an OmniVision OV5693 sensor and has an f/2.2 aperture at the front for taking selfies.
The Moto G5 packs a 2800mAh removable battery. The low battery capacity is responsible for the smartphone's lightness and moderate slimness, but that is compensated for with rapid charging feature which ensures that the smartphone gets up and running in no time.
The Motorola Moto G5 comes with dual SIM slots and suports 4G VoLTE network connections. It offers connectivity options like FM Radio, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2 and GPS, and runs on Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box.
Price Range: #60,000 – #70,000 .
Dimension: 144.3 * 73 * 9.5 mm.
Colours: Fine Gold & Lunar Gray.
Chipset: 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 (MSM8937) processor.
External Storage: Yes, microSD, up to 128GB.
Features: f/2.2 aperture & OmniVision OV5693 sensor.
The Motorola Moto G5 is already available in Nigeria and can be purchased from leading online and offline stores in the country. Moto G5 price in Nigeria ranges between #60,000 – #70,000. This smartphone is available in fine gold and lunar gray colors.

I miss… the presence of K-pop everywhere. Every time I walked past a shop I could hear the sweet sounds blasting my way. It's how I imagine heaven will be. And although I usually despair at the sight of advertising everywhere I turn, I found it perfectly okay – pleasant really – when the advert featured my favourite K-pop stars.
I miss… getting free stuff. There seems to be a phenomenon in South Korea known as "service". Basically, I was getting something for free almost every time I purchased something. I didn't need, or even want, these things being thrown at me, but I definitely wasn't complaining about it. At the restaurant, at the cosmetics shop, at the convenience store: my face lit up every time I got something for free.
I miss… Popeye the cat. This was a stray cat that we frequently sighted outside our dormitory building. He/she was given the name "Popeye" after the fast food brand of fried chicken that my classmates fed him/her. He/she was rather timid around humans, and potentially riddled with disease, but he/she was also pretty darn cute. Recently, my PKNU roomie sent me picture she took of Popeye while she was strolling around campus. So, I can gladly say that Popeye is still alive and well and stalking his/her turf in search of junk food.
I miss… the people. It surprises me how quickly people become familiar to me. All in all, I only spent three weeks with my classmates, but I certainly miss their friendly faces and diverse personalities. I miss seeing the same faces in the cafeteria every morning, where we would talk about how bad the food was (but now I confess I even kind of miss that food…). I miss how tired some people would look after spending the night becoming better acquainted with South Korean drinking culture. I miss people's catchphrases and accents. And I especially miss my roommate, Dahyun, and our routine of doing facials, snacking on sweets and chatting incessantly – I couldn't have asked for a better roomie! Since I have been back on the Gold Coast, I keep seeing the doppelgangers of my PKNU classmates and every time I want to go up to the person and say "hi", but then I realise that of course it's not who I think it is. Every time a crushing disappointment. But I suppose it goes to show how much I treasure the experience I had at PKNU's International Summer School. Thank you to everyone who helped me get there and to those who made it a special adventure!

US says Russia is preparing a 'false flag' to justify an invasion of Ukraine
Alvaro Colombres Garmendia | TheBL 01/15/22, 15:48

The Pentagon claims it has credible intelligence that the Russian government is preparing a false flag operation to justify its invasion of Ukraine as it did in 2014 when it annexed the territory of Crimea.
"We have information that indicates Russia has already pre-positioned a group of operatives to conduct a false flag operation in eastern Ukraine," said Jen Psaki, the White House spokeswoman, this Friday, Jan. 14. The operatives are trained in urban warfare and using explosives to carry out acts of sabotage against Russia's own proxy forces."
According to the Daily Mail, John Kirby, the U.S. defense ministry spokesman, assured that the intelligence information 'was very credible.'
For his part, the national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, detailed in a press conference:
"Our intelligence community has developed information which has now been downgraded, that Russia is laying the groundwork to have the option of fabricating a pretext for an invasion, including through sabotage activities and information operations, by accusing Ukraine of preparing an imminent attack against Russian forces in Eastern Ukraine."
In addition, Ukrainian foreign ministry sources reported on Thursday that several government servers were hacked with threatening messages.
Although the origin of the cyberattack has not been confirmed, English-language media point to the Russians:
"Russian hackers were believed to have left chilling messages on websites saying: 'Ukrainians. Be afraid and expect worse. It's your past, present and future," says the Daily Mail report.
The statements by Biden administration officials come at a time when diplomatic talks and attempts to de-escalate tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and their allies, appear to have failed.
Putin sought assurances that NATO forces would not advance further and said that the troops Russia amassed on the Ukrainian border were in response to the NATO advance.
In addition, at diplomatic meetings, the Kremlin requested that Ukraine be denied possible NATO membership.
Both demands were rejected.
False flag
False flags are considered to be those operations intended to create a conflict and blame another party to trigger a response that would theoretically benefit whoever carried out the false operation.
The United States and the European bloc accused the Russian government of carrying out a false flag in 2014 when the Russian army invaded Crimea and annexed the territory.
But Putin claims that Ukraine is part of Russia, that it was taken from them with the fall of the Soviet Union, and that many people in Ukraine still see themselves as Russians and are mistreated by Ukrainians; supposedly that is why they invaded Crimea because many there 'wanted to be part of Russia.'
The Russian government came out to deny the allegations of a possible false flag to invade Ukraine.
"So far, all these statements have been unsubstantiated and not backed up by anything," spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the TASS news agency.
According to a report by R.T., a Russian state-run media:
"Washington has accused Moscow of planning to invade Ukraine for weeks now, though the Kremlin rejected this as "fake news." Similar warnings have been publicized in U.S. media every year since 2015, always based on anonymous sources, and have never come to pass."
For the Kremlin, Ukraine and NATO seek military conflict and claim that Ukrainian armies and NATO forces have violated the ceasefire guaranteed by the Minsk agreements.

This data type represents the frequency. The unit is in KHz. A range of 5000KHz to 42000KHz is appropriate for a cable plant using a North American Sub-Split channel plan. The spectrum range has been expanded to accommodate an upper edge of 65000KHz for some European channel plans. The spectrum range has been further expanded with DOCSIS 3.0 to an upper edge of 85000KHz.If DOCSIS is extended to cover other types of channel plans (and frequency allocations) this object will be modified accordingly.
This data type represents the actual measured frequency. The unit is in KHz.
This is the MIB Module for Cable Spectrum Management for DOCSIS-compliant Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS). Spectrum management is a software/hardware feature provided in the CMTS so that the CMTS may sense both downstream and upstream plant impairments, report them to a management entity, and automatically mitigate them where possible. The CMTS directly senses upstream transmission errors.It may also indirectly monitor the condition of the plant by keeping a record of modem state changes. It is desireable to perform these functions without reducing throughput or latency and without creating additional packet overhead on the RF plant. The purpose of cable Spectrum Management is to prevent long term service interruptions caused by upstream noise events in the cable plant. It is also used for fault management and trouble shooting the cable network. When modems are detected to go on-line and off-line by flap detectors, the cable operators can look at the flap list and spectrum tables to determine the possible causes.
The maximum number of flapped modem entries (ccsCmFlapEntry) per Cable downstream interface that can be reported in the ccsCmFlapTable. If the Cable downstream interface has more flapped modems than the ccsFlapListMaxSize, some of the flapped modems will not be shown in the ccsCmFlapTable. In this case, the users may want to increase the ccsFlapMaxSize.
The total number of flapped modem entries (ccsCmFlapEntry) that reported in the ccsCmFlapTable. The maximum value will be ccsFlapListMaxSize * .
The flap entry aging threshold. Periodically, the aging process scans through the flap list and removes the cable modems that have not flapped for that many minutes.
The insertion-time is an empirically derived, worst-case number of seconds which the cable modem requires to complete registration. The time taken by cable modems to complete their registration is measured by the cable operators and this information helps to determine the insertion time. If the cable modem has not completed the registration stage within this insertion-time setting, the cable modem will be inserted into the flap-list.
This table keeps the records of modem state changes. It can be used to identify the problematic cable modems. An entry can be deleted from the table but can not be added to the table.
List of attributes for an entry in the ccsFlapTable. An entry in this table exists for each cable modem that triggered one of our flap detectors.
MAC address of the Cable Modem's Cable interface which identifies a flap-list entry for a flapping Cable Modem.
The ifIndex of the Cable upstream interface whose ifType is docsCableUpstream(129). The CMTS detects a flapping Cable Modem from its Cable upstream interface.
The ifIndex of the Cable downstream interface whose ifType is docsCableDownstream(128).
The number of times a Cable Modem registered more frequently than expected. Excessive registration is defined as the presence of a time span between two successive registration cycles which is less than a threshold span (ccsFlapInsertionTime). A Cable Modem may fail the ranging or registration process due to not being able to get an IP address. When the Cable Modem can not finish registration within the insertion time, it retries the process and sends the Initial Maintenance packet again. CMTS will receive the Initial Maintenance packet from the Cable Modem sooner than expected and the Cable Modem is considered a flapping modem. This count may indicate: Intermittent downstream sync loss, or DHCP or modem registration problems. The Flap Count (ccsFlapTotal) will be incremented when this counter is incremented. Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and are indicated by a change in the value of ccsFlapCreateTime.
The number of times the CMTS receives the Ranging request from the Cable Modem. The CMTS issues a Station Maintenance transmit opportunity at a typical rate of once every 10 seconds and waits for a Ranging request from the Cable Modem.If the CMTS receives a Ranging request then the Hit count will be increased by 1 If the FlapTotal count is high,both Hits and Misses counts are high, and other counters are relatively low then the flapping is probably caused by the modem going up and down. The Hits and Misses counts are keep-alive polling statistics. The Hits count should be much greater than the Misses count Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and are indicated by a change in the value of ccsFlapCreateTime.
The number of times the CMTS misses the Ranging request from the Cable Modem. The CMTS issues a Station Maintenance packet every 10 seconds and waits for a Ranging request from the Cable Modem. If the CMTS misses a Ranging request within 25 msec then the Misses count will be incremented. If ccsFlapTotal is high, Hits and Misses are high but ccsFlapPowerAdjustments and ccsFlapInsertionFails are low then the flapping is probably caused by the modem going up and down. Miss counts can indicate: Intermittent upstream, Laser clipping, or Noise bursts. Laser clipping can happen if the signal power is too high when the upstream electrical signal is converted to an optical signal. When it happens the more input produces less output, until finally there is no more increase in output. This phenomena is called laser clipping. Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and are indicated by a change in the value of ccsFlapCreateTime.
The number of times the CMTS upstream receiver flagged a packet with a CRC error. If ccsFlapCrcErrors is high, it indicates the cable upstream may have high noise level. The modem may not be flapping yet but it may be a potential problem. This count can indicate: Intermittent upstream, Laser clipping, or Noise bursts. Laser clipping can happen if the signal power is too high when the upstream electrical signal is converted to an optical signal. When it happens the more input produces less output, until finally there is no more increase in output. This phenomena is called laser clipping. Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and are indicated by a change in the value of ccsFlapCreateTime.
The number of times the Cable Modem upstream transmit power is adjusted during station maintenance. When the adjustment is greater than the power adjustment threshold the counter will be incremented. The power adjustment threshold is chosen in an implementation-dependent manner. The Flap Count (ccsFlapTotal) will be incremented when this counter is incremented. If ccsFlapTotal is high, ccsFlapPowerAdjustments is high but the Hits and Misses are low and ccsFlapInsertionFails are low then the flapping is probably caused by an improper transmit power level setting at the modem end. This count can indicate: Amplifier degradation, Poor connections, or Wind, moisture, or temperature sensitivity. Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and are indicated by a change in the value of ccsFlapCreateTime.
Whenever the Cable Modem passes flap detection, then the flap counter is increased. There are 3 flap detectors defined: (1) When ccsFlapInsertionFails is increased the Flap count will be increased. (2) When the CMTS receives a Miss followed by a Hit then the Flap count will be increased. (3) When ccsFlapPowerAdjustments is increased the Flap count will be increased. Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and are indicated by a change in the value of ccsFlapCreateTime.
The flap time is set whenever the Cable Modem triggers a flap detector.
The time that this entry was added to the table. If an entry is removed and then later re-added, there may be a discontinuity in the counters associated with this entry. This timestamp can be used to detect those discontinuities.
Controls and reflects the status of rows in this table. When a cable modem triggers a flap detector, if an entry does not already exist for this cable modem, and ccsFlapListCurrentSize is less than ccsFlapListMaxSize, then an entry will be created in this table. The new instance of this object will be set to active(1). All flapping modems have the status of active(1). Active entries are removed from the table after they have not triggered any additional flap detectors for the period of time defined in ccsFlapAging. Alternatively, setting this instance to destroy(6) will remove the entry immediately. createAndGo(4) and createAndWait(5) are not supported.

Setting this object to true(1) will set the following objects of this entry to 0: ccsFlapInsertionFailsNum, ccsFlapHitsNum, ccsFlapMissesNum, ccsFlapCrcErrorsNum, ccsFlapPowerAdjustmentsNum and ccsFlapTotalNum. Setting this object to true does not destroy the entry, so the ccsFlapCreateTime will be unchanged. Reading this object always returns false(2).
The last time that all the statistical objects of this entry are started from zero. There are several ways to restart the the statistical objects from zero. Setting the object ccsFlapResetNow or ccsFlapResetAll to true via SNMP is one way and and the other way is via command Line Interface. This timestamp can be used to know the last time the statistical objects are started from zero. The special value of all '00'Hs indicates that these statistical objects of this entry in the ccsFlapTable have never been reset.
The power adjust threshold. When the power of the modem is adjusted beyond this threshold, the modem will be inserted into the flap-list.
Per modem miss threshold which triggers polling flap detector. When the number of times a cable modem does not acknowledge a MAC-layer keepalive message from a cable modem card exceeds the miss threshold, the cable modem is placed in the flap list.
Setting this object to true(1) causes ccsFlapInsertionFailNum, ccsFlapHitNum, ccsFlapMissNum, ccsFlapCrcErrorNum, ccsFlapPowerAdjustmentNum and ccsFlapTotalNum objects of each entry in ccsFlapTable to be started from zero. Reading this object always returns false(2).
Setting this object to true(1) removes all cable modems from flap-list and all the entries in the ccsFlapTable are destroyed. If a modem keeps flapping, the modem will be added again into the flap list and a new entry in the ccsFlapTable will be created. The newly created entry for that modem will have new value of ccsFlapCreateTime and all the statistical objects will be started from zero. Reading this object always returns false(2).
The last time that all the entries in the ccsFlapTable are destroyed. There are several ways to destroy all the entries in the ccsFlapTable. Setting the object ccsFlapClearAll to true is one way, and the other way is through Command Line Interface. This timestamp can be used to know when all the entries in the ccsFlapTable are destroyed. The special value of all '00'Hs indicates that the entries in the ccsFlapTable have never been destroyed.
This table keeps the records of modem state changes, so it can be used to identify the problematic cable modems. An entry per modem is added to the table automatically by the system when it detects any state changes to the modem. Therefore, it can be deleted but can not be added by the management system.

Alternatively, setting this instance to destroy(6) will remove the entry immediately. createAndGo(4) and createAndWait(5) are not supported.
This table contains the spectrum data requests. There are two types of request: background noise and SNR. Refer to ccsSpectrumRequestIfIndex and ccsSpectrumRequestMacAddr DESCRIPTIONS on how the type of request is determined.
Information about a spectrum data request. The management system uses ccsSpectrumRequestStatus to control entry modification, creation, and deletion. Setting ccsSpectrumRequestEntry to 'destroy' causes entry and its associated data (example: ccsSpectrumDataEntry) to be cleaned up properly. It is suggested the entry to be set to 'destroy' when the row is no longer in use.
An arbitrary integer to uniquely identify the entry.
The ifIndex of a docsCableUpstream(129) interface. The background noise measurement is requested when ccsSpectrumRequestIfIndex is specified. The receiving power measurement is requested when ccsSpectrumRequestMacAddr is specified; In this case, ccsSpectrumRequestIfIndex is the ifIndex of the remote CM's upstream.
A MAC address that identifies a remote CM. The default value of 0000.0000.0000 indicates that the background noise will be measured for the upstream. In this case, ccsSpectrumRequestIfIndex must be specified. Other values indicate that the receiving power test is requested for the ccsSpectrumRequestMacAddr with CM signals.
Start of frequency range. The ccsSpectrumRequestLowFreq is adjusted slightly to accurately represent the actual starting point of the frequency range. The adjustment is done as follows: aFactor = (center frequency - ccsSpectrumRequestLowFreq)/12K ccsSpectrumRequestLowFreq = center frequency - (aFactor * 12K) where 12K is the FFT's bin size.
End of frequency range. With the adjustment done to the ccsSpectrumRequestLowFreq, ccsSpectrumRequestUpperFreq will also be adjusted to the last frequency within the specified range divisible by the bin size. Refer to the ccsSpectrumRequestLowFreq DESCRIPTION for the adjustment calculation.
A span between two frequencies. ccsSpectrumRequestResolution dictates the amount of receiving power data to be returned in ccsSpectrumDataTable. The finer the resolution, the more data returned. ccsSpectrumRequestResolution is adjusted to a value which is divisible by FFT's 12KHz bin size.
The control that allows 'start' or 'abort' of the test. Since there is only 1 FFT engine running on the CMTS, 'start' changes ccsSpectrumRequestOperState to 'pending' state if the FFT is busy; Otherwise, it changes ccsSpectrumRequestOperState to 'running'. 'abort' changes ccsSpectrumRequestOperState to 'aborted' state. 'abort' is only allowed when ccsSpectrumRequestOperState is in 'pending' state. Only 'start' when request is to be started and 'abort' when request is to be aborted can be set by the user. It is set to 'none' only on completion of the request by the FFT engine. Note: The SNMP SET is rejected if ccsSpectrumRequestStatus is not 'active'.
The operational state of the test. ccsSpectrumRequestIfIndex, ccsSpectrumRequestMacAddr, ccsSpectrumRequestUpperFreq, ccsSpectrumRequestLowFreq and ccsSpectrumRequestResolution cannot be changed when CCSRequestOperState is in the 'running' state. For a detailed description, see the CCSRequestOperState DESCRIPTION.
The value of sysUpTime when the spectrum measurement operation starts.
The value of sysUpTime when the spectrum measurement operation stops.
The control that allows modification, creation, and deletion of entries. For detailed rules, see the ccsSpectrumRequestEntry DESCRIPTION.
This table contains the receiving power or background noise measurement based on the criteria that is set in the ccsSpectrumRequestEntry.
Information about the receiving power or background noise measured at a particular frequency for the ccsSpectrumRequestEntry.
ccsSpectrumDataPower measurement frequency. Due to the adjustment calculation the starting frequency range for the actual measured frequency if off comparing to the configured frequency. Refer to ccsSpectrumRequestLowFreq DESCRIPTIONS for the adjustment calculation.
The receiving power measured at the ccsSpectrumDataFreq.
A table of CNR requests.
Information about an CNR request. The management system uses ccsSNRRequestStatus to control entry modification, creation, and deletion.
An arbitrary integer to uniquely identify this entry.
A MAC address that identifies the remote online CM that the CNR measurement operation is being performed on.
A snap shot of the CNR value that is measured over the in-use band frequency. The ccsSNRRequestSNR is set to 0 when ccsSNRRequestOperState is in the 'running' state.
The control that allows start or abort of the test. Since there is only 1 FFT engine running on the CMTS, 'start' changes ccsSNRRequestOperState to 'pending' state if the FFT is busy; Otherwise, it changes ccsSNRRequestOperState to 'running'. 'abort' changes ccsSNRRequestOperState to 'aborted' state. Only 'start' when request is to be started and 'abort' when request is to be aborted can be set by the user. It is set to 'none' only on completion of the request by the FFT engine.
The operational state of the test. ccsSNRRequestMacAddr, cannot be changed when the ccsSNRRequestOperState is in the 'running' state.
The value of sysUpTime when the CNR measurement operation starts.
The value of sysUpTime when the CNR measurement operation stops.
The control that allows modification, creation, and deletion of entries. For detailed rules see the ccsSpectrumRequestEntry DESCRIPTION.

Upstream interface's spectrum management information.
A preference priority for changing the frequency, modulation, or channel width supporting the automatic switching of the modulation scheme when the channel becomes noisy. The default priority is frequency, modulation, and channel width. With the default preference, the frequency is changed if there is a clean band available. If there's no clean band available, the modulation is changed. And if the clean band is still not available, the bandwidth is reduced until an acceptable band is found or a minimum bandwidth of 200KHz.
The Signal to Noise (SNR) threshold. This object is applicable for modulation profile 1. When the CMTS detects that the SNR goes lower than ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres1, it switches to profile 2. Therefore, ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres1 should be larger than ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres2. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check.

The Forward Error Correction (FEC) correctable count threshold. This object is applicable for profile 1. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check. When CMTS detects that FEC correctable count goes higher than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecCorrectThres1, it switch to Profile 2. Therefore, ccsUpSpecMgmtFecCorrectThres1 should be smaller than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecCorrectThres2.
The FEC correctable count threshold. This object is applicable for profile 2. When CMTS detects that FEC correctable count goes higher than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecCorrectThres2, modulation change can occur, depending on the type of ccsUpSpecMgmtHopPriority. Note: SNMP SET will be rejected if ccsUpSpecMgmtFecCorrectThres2 is lower than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecCorrectThres1.
The FEC uncorrectable count threshold. This object is applicable for modulation profile 1. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check. When CMTS detects that FEC uncorrectable count goes higher than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres1, it switches to Profile 2. Therefore, ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres1 should be smaller than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres2.
The FEC uncorrectable count threshold. This object is applicable for modulation profile 2. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check. Refer to ccsUpSpecMgmtCriteria on how ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres2 can trigger a change in frequency, modulation or channel width. Note: SNMP SET is rejected if ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres2 is lower than ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres1.
A period between SNR pollings. The SNR is collected from the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) measurement over the in-use band when there is no CM signals. When the CMTS detects that SNR doesn't meet ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres1 or ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres2, a possible hopping occurs, depending on the type of ccsUpSpecMgmtHopPriority.
A condition that triggers hopping. The SNR condition occurs when SNR does not meet the ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres1 or ccsUpSpecMgmtSnrThres2. The stationMaintainenceMiss condition occurs when the percentage of offline CMs is reached.
Center frequency before hopping occurs. A value 0 indicates that the interface has no frequency assigned.
Current center frequency. A value 0 indicates that the interface has no frequency assigned.
Modulation profile index before hopping occurs. It is the index identical to the docsIfModIndex in the docsIfCmtsModulationTable. For the detailed descriptions, see the docsIfCmtsModulationTable and docsIfCmtsModIndex DESCRIPTIONS.
The current modulation profile index. It is the index identical to the docsIfModIndex in the docsIfCmtsModulationTable. For the detailed descriptions, see the docsIfCmtsModulationTable and docsIfCmtsModIndex DESCRIPTIONS.
Current SNR. A value -99 indicates the system detected no modem on line, and a value of -100 indicates the system was unable to retrieve the SNR value.
Upper bound frequency that the upstream supports.
The Carrier to Noise (CNR) threshold. This object is applicable for modulation profile 1. When the CMTS detects that the CNR goes lower than ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres1, it switches to profile 2. Therefore, ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres1 should be larger than ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres2. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check.
The Carrier to Noise (CNR) threshold. This object is applicable for modulation profile 2. Refer to ccsUpSpecMgmtCriteria on how ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres2 can trigger a change in frequency, modulation or channel width. A value 0 indicates to bypass the threshold check. Note: The SNMP SET is rejected if both ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres1, ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres2 are non-zero and ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres2 is higher than ccsUpSpecMgmtCnrThres1.
Current CNR. A value -99 indicates the system detected no modem on line, and a value of -100 indicates the system was unable to retrieve the CNR value.
The missed maintenance message threshold in percentage. A value 0 indicates that the interface has no spectrum group assigned. i.e. ccsUpSpecMgmtSpecGroup equals 0.
The minimum time between frequency hops in seconds. A value 0 indicates that the interface has no spectrum group assigned. i.e. ccsUpSpecMgmtSpecGroup equals to 0.
Defines the criteria that trigger a change in frequency hopping, modulation or channel width. Depending on the type of linecards, the criteria are slightly different: For the linecards that have no Hardware Based Spectrum Management capability like the uBR-MC1xC, change in modulation or frequency occurs in the following criteria: 1) Change from modulation profile 1 to modulation profile 2 would occur when CMTS detects the SNR that goes below the threshold and either corr FEC or uncorr FEC is above the threshold. In this case, snrBelowThres and either corrFecAboveThres or uncorrFecAboveThres bits will get set. 2) Change from modulation profile 2 to modulation profile 1 would occur when CMTS detects the SNR goes above the threshold+3 and both corr FEC and uncorr FEC are below the threshold. In this case, snrAboveThres and corrFecBelowThres and uncorrFecBelowThres bits will get set. 3) Change in frequency or frequency hopping would occur when CMTS detects no active modem on the link. In this case, noActiveModem bit will get set accordingly. For the linecards that have the Hardware Based Spectrum Management capability, change in frequency, modulation or channel width occurs in the following criteria: 1) when CMTS detects the SNR or CNR goes below the threshold and either corr FEC or uncorr FEC is above the threshold. In this case, either snrBelowThres or cnrBelowThres and either corrFecAboveThres or uncorrFecAboveThres bits will get set. 2) when CMTS detects the SNR or CNR goes above the threshold + 3 and both corr FEC and uncorr FEC are below the threshold. In this case, either snrAboveThres or cnrAboveThres and both corrFecBelowThres and uncorrFecBelowThres bits will get set. 3) when CMTS detects no active modem on the link or uncorr FEC is above ccsUpSpecMgmtFecUnCorrectThres2. In this case noActiveModem or uncorrFecAboveSecondThres bit will get set accordingly. Note: The order of frequency, modulation or channel width changes for the advanced spectrum management linecards will be determined based on the selection of the ccsUpSpecMgmtHopPriority.
The spectrum group assigned to the upstream. The value of 0 for the object indicates that the upstream has no spectrum group assigned.
The fiber-node assigned to the upstreams. Upstreams having same fiber-node number indicates that they physically combine together into same RF domain and must have unique frequency assigned. The value of 0 for the object indicates that the upstream is not physically combine with any others.
This table contains the frequency and band configuration of the spectrum group.
An entry in ccsSpecGroupFreqTable. Each entry represents a center frequency or a frequency band configured for the spectrum group.
An arbitrary index to uniquely identify frequencies or bands configured in spectrum group.
The type of the frequency configured in spectrum group. This is a mandatory object and can be modified when the row is active. If the value of centerFreq(1) is specified, the values of the corresponding instance of ccsSpecGroupFreqLower and csSpecGroupFreqUpper object must be identical. If the value of bandFreq(2) is specified, the values of the corresponding instance of ccsSpecGroupFreqLower and csSpecGroupFreqUpper must be unique.
The lower frequency configured in spectrum group. This is a mandatory object and can be modified when the row is active. To configure a band frequency in the spectrum group, the value of this object must be lower than the value of the corresponding instance of ccsSpecGroupFreqUpper. To configure a fixed center frequency in the spectrum group, the value of this object must be equal to the value of the corresponding instance of ccsSpecGroupFreqUpper.
The upper frequency configured in spectrum group. This is a mandatory object and can be modified when the row is active. To configure a band frequency in the spectrum group, the value of this object must be greater than the value of the corresponding instance of ccsSpecGroupFreqLower. To configure a fixed center frequency in the spectrum group, the value of this object must be equal to the value of the corresponding instance of ccsSpecGroupFreqLower.
The status of this conceptual row. This object is used for creating/deleting entries in ccsSpecGroupFreqTable. A conceptual row may not be created via SNMP without explicitly setting the value of ccsSpecGroupRowStatus to createAndGo(4). A conceptual row can not have the status of active(1) until proper values have been assigned to the mandatory objects ccsSpecGroupFreqType, ccsSpecGroupFreqLower, and ccsSpecGroupFreqUpper. A conceptual row may be modified or deleted any time. If the frequency represents by the row has been assigned to a cable upstream interface, modifying or deleting such row would cause the cable upstream interface frequency reassignment.
A notification is sent when there's a change in frequency (hopping), modulation, or profile. In the case of frequency hopping, ccsUpSpecMgmtHopCondition would indicate whether SNR or modemOffline that caused the hopping.
A notification is sent when there's a change in frequency hopping, modulation, or profile. ccsUpSpecMgmtCriteria is used to indicate the cause(s).

Brown Panelist at National Youth Summit on Abolition
by Olivia Drake • February 6, 2013
Lois Brown
To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History hosted the National Youth Summit on Abolition on Feb. 11.
Lois Brown, the Class of 1958 Distinguished Professor of African American Studies and English, joined a team of experts, scholars and activists in a moderated panel discussion to reflect upon the abolition movement of the 19th century and explore its legacy on modern-day slavery and human trafficking.
The event was webcast live to more than 2,000 students and adults from 31 states and to schools in Kenya, Pakistan and the Republic of Suriname in South America.
The program featured excerpts from the AMERICAN EXPERIENCE documentary The Abolitionists, which weaves together the stories of five of the abolition movement's leading figures: Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Angelina Grimke, Harriet Beecher Stowe and John Brown. Lois Brown was on the film's advisory board.
Brown's fellow panelists included Kenneth Morris, founder and president of the Frederick Douglass Family Foundation and the great-great-great-grandson of Frederick Douglass and the great-great-grandson of Booker T. Washington; Luis CdeBaca, ambassador-at-large in the U.S. State Department's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons; and Ana Alarcon, a high school student in Hartford, Conn., who is president of the organization Student Abolitionists Stopping Slavery. Allison Stewart, an award-winning journalist, moderated the event.
The National Youth Summit on Abolition will be broadcast live on Feb. 11.
Brown, whose teaching and research focuses on 19th Century African American and American literature, history, and culture, as well as and race and memory in colonial and antebellum America, is the author of Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins: Black Daughter of the Revolution and The Harlem Literary Renaissance: An Encyclopedia. She edited the first modern edition of Memoir of James Jackson, The Attentive and Obedient Scholar, the pioneering 1835 biography by Bostonian Susan Paul that is the earliest known biography of a free child of color and the first biography published by an African American woman.
Brown has held research fellowships from the American Antiquarian Society, the Massachusetts Historical Society, and the Society for the Humanities at Cornell University. A 2000 Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Award recipient, she has been affiliated with the Harvard University Du Bois Institute for Afro-American Research where she also has been a visiting fellow. Brown has lectured widely and published articles on African American literature, women's writing, early American education, and African American history and religion. The Museum of African American History in Boston recognized her work with one of its first African American History Awards and lauded her for her "extraordinary commitment to American history" and her "obvious commitment to education and equality." Her passion for African American history has led to successful curatorial experiences that have included exhibitions at the Museum of Afro-American History in Boston and at the Boston Public Library. Since 2003, she has curated and co-curated five exhibitions including two major exhibitions honoring William Lloyd Garrison: Words of Thunder: William Lloyd Garrison and The Ambassadors of Abolition and of Words of Thunder: The Life and Times of William Lloyd Garrison.

Internet filtering laws receive Senate approval
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Senate incorporated two bills that could radically change Internet access in schools nationwide in an appropriations bill passed in mid-July.The "Internet School Filtering Act" (formerly S. 1619), introduced by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., would require primary and secondary schools to place filtering devices on all school computers to block student access to material deemed "inappropriate to minors."The second bill (formerly S. 1482), proposed by Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., would amend the Communications Decency Act so individuals who commercially distribute material harmful to minors would be penalized.Nicknamed "CDA 2" or "Senate CDA," the bill would modify a section of the Communications Decency Act that the Supreme Court struck down in 1997. Coats' bill would institute penalties of up to six months in jail and a $50,000 fine on individuals found in violation of the law.The federal government would determine the standard of what would be deemed harmful.The bills, which are now provisions in the appropriation bill, must withstand the muster of a joint conference committee where differences between the House and Senate versions are resolved.
