The Strategic Weaponization of Narratives
By Andreas Krieg
A penetrating analysis of weaponized information—one of the most pressing dangers to open societies
Now more than ever, communities across the world are integrated into a complex, global information ecosystem that shapes the nature of social, political, and economic life. The ripple effects of actors trying to manipulate or disrupt this information ecosystem are far more severe than the primary effects that are merely being felt in the information space. In fact, the weaponization of narratives has already shown its potential to transform the character of conflict in the twenty-first century.
Subversion examines how malicious state and nonstate actors take advantage of the information space to sow political chaos. Andreas Krieg reveals how the coordinated use of weaponized narratives can achieve strategic-level effects through a six-stage process. Preying on vulnerable states and communities to find the fault lines within societies, these campaigns begin in the information space with an ultimate goal of producing tangible results (such as changes to policy or voting behavior, or spurring political violence). Krieg closely examines recent subversion campaigns by two states in particular, focusing on Russia's interference in Western public discourse and the United Arab Emirates's demonization of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
Subversion will provide scholars and policymakers with a comprehensive understanding of one of the most urgent threats in international politics along with recommendations on how vulnerable communities can become more resilient.
Andreas Krieg is an associate professor in the School of Security Studies at King's College, London. He is the coauthor (with Jean Marc Rickli) of Surrogate Warfare (Georgetown University Press, 2019) and the author of four other books. Outside of academia, Krieg works as a geostrategic consultant at his London-based political risk firm, MENA Analytica Ltd.
"Subversion is now the norm, not the exception, in our information age. In this rich and complex work the author ranges widely from the philosophical understanding of 'truth' to the activities of troll factories in Russia. Now that the Great Power conflict is very much alive, Krieg's insights are particularly timely." — Christopher Coker, director, LSE IDEAS

'Turn' recap: 'Providence'
Benedict Arnold is ripe for the picking, and Major Hewlett hobbles home.
By Jeff Labrecque

Turn: Washington's Spies
S2 E8
The die is cast.
Even since Benjamin Tallmadge mentioned the name of Benedict Arnold in season 1 of Turn: Washington's Spies, amateur Revolution-era historians have been waiting for the picture to come into focus—how one of George Washington's most valued commanders became the most notorious traitor in American history. There are two more episodes to go this season—and perhaps more before Arnold ultimately chooses his path—but anyone who knows what awaits in Arnold's biography can point to "Providence" as the episode that sealed his fate.
The Americans are still at Valley Forge, but Washington is planning a gamble: attack New York City in the winter of early 1778. Washington never got over the sting of losing New York to the British in a route, and he yearned to redeem himself against the professionally-trained enemy on a legitimate field of battle, rather than the skirmishes, hit-and-runs, and midnight escapes that had allowed his army to survive thus far. Relying on Abe's intelligence about British troop levels in New York—a mere 3,500—he's aiming for a bold strike that he tells his war council could be the decisive battle of the war. His rival Charles Lee is reluctant, but Arnold is champing at the bit; this is the kind of bold maneuver that won him glory at Saratoga—and also got him shot in the leg.
But before such an attack can get any farther than the plotting stages, the entire political landscape changes: Benjamin Franklin and John Adams secured an alliance with France, the only nation that could possibly tip the scales in North America. When Lafayette delivers the good news, Washington's astonishment was touching and extremely revealing. As we saw last week in "Valley Forge," Washington was hanging by a thin thread, and this was the break he needed just to keep going, personally.
Lafayette was a crucial figure in Washington's inner circle during the war—another of the surrogate sons that he was fond of collecting—but his introduction in Turn was underplayed to the degree that it's still unclear whether he'll be a semi-major character or just someone like Selah Strong, who pops up here or there. What I did like about the brief encounter was his warm European embrace of Washington, a man who hated to be touched and clearly flinched at the greeting. But even Washington is willing to adjust for the cause: during the camp's celebration of the French alliance, he warmly returns the favor as Arnold and his bum leg are reduced to the periphery.
There is more than hope with this good news; there is an opportunity that isn't as reckless as taking New York City. In fact, the promise of a French fleet knocks down several dominoes, beginning with Philadelphia. British forces there are now vulnerable and the troops are being transferred to New York to bolster those defenses, allowing Washington's army, just miles away in Valley Forge, to reclaim the capital city. Arnold's ambition of a field command is thwarted, and his only consolation is a promotion that leaves him in charge of Philadelphia. It burns him to no end that he's being sidelined, especially since his heroism at Saratoga was a chief reason that France chose to bet on the United States. But his protests to Washington fall on deaf ears—after all, Washington noticed that Arnold could barely get on and off his horse. The angrier he gets in his meeting with Washington, the more his fatal flaws emerge. Saratoga was his victory, he sees enemies and conspiracy behind every decision, and he craves a field command to attain glory. "This has nothing to do with glory," Washington chides. Arnold can't help himself: "Says the glorified."
So Arnold is being spurned while the war moves forward. What, oh what will he do with himself in Philadelphia once John André and his brethren trudge back across to New Jersey towards New York? If only there was some breathtaking beauty whose lover has taken a particular interest in Arnold's future. Peggy Shippen has fallen hard for André, and she's willing to defy her richy-rich father to elope with him to New York. But her latest letter from Arnold bears fruit for André when he correctly deciphers Arnold's new assignment. He insists Peggy stay behind in the capital, in order to arrange an introduction, and who knows what else… André inevitably is going to face a choice between the woman he loves or the mission, but right now, he's under the delusion that he can only have one if he first gets the other. Turning Arnold could make him the savior of the colonies for the Crown, he thinks, giving him the land and wealth that would win Mr. Shippen's approval. "This could be a blessing in disguise," he says. "Make me a man you can marry and your father will give me your hand."
Arnold is walking right into André's hands, almost exactly as the British spymaster once predicted he would. His pride is wounded and he's about to find comfort with the one woman who can close the deal for her… husband? It wasn't a church wedding, but Peggy and André agreed to vows. She would be anything for him. For Arnold, it's all over but the shouting.
NEXT: Caleb sneaks in to New York
In his New York dungeon prison, Abe is sort of becoming "institutionalized." Turns out his father didn't leave behind some secret papers last episode, and Abe's adapted to life on the inside. He hasn't given up hope for release, though, and he suspects he'll be kept alive as long as it's good business for his jailer. But Caleb has a "Hail, Mary" plan to break him out. Well, not really; he has a plan to sneak into New York with David Bushnell's Turtle submersible, which had received some modifications from the late Nathaniel Sackett and Benjamin Franklin (who went unseen but practically deserved a credit for at least three shout-outs during the episode). I suspect that a man of Caleb's talent around the harbors and sounds would've been able to infiltrate the city without risking his life in an experimental submarine, but then, it was rather cool to see him peddling the Turtle by candlelight. Once in the city, he stole a john's red uniform from the saddest brothel tent-city of all time, shaved his beard, and passed himself off as a high-ranking officer to meet with Abe. Repeat: he shaved his beard.
But Abe resists Caleb's offer to escape and flee to the rebel camp, because it would ruin his cover. He still believes in the Culper ring, he believes there's a chance that Major Hewlett is still alive, and he believes in Townsend—who just became more valuable because of the British concentration of forces flooding back to New York. "I know this man," Abe insists. "He is the answer to our problem. Culper is not dead. Neither is our ring. It's just not completed yet."
Hewlett is alive and presumably stinky, thanks to hiding in a cow to escape the wounded Simcoe and his Rangers after their savage massacre of the Continental outpost in Connecticut. Fortunately for Hewlett, there were apparently no toeless footprints around the dead cow, so he successfully hid inside it, waiting until the coast was clear, and made it back to Setauket after Simcoe and his soldiers gave up to target the rebels in Oyster Bay. I've speculated that this mission might lead to Simcoe's Rangers cutting out some tongues in Samuel Townshend's neck of the woods, but Simcoe reappears in Setauket without a word about the primary objective of his trip. He returns to the tavern to console Anna about Hewlett's apparent demise, only to be interrupted by Hewlett himself, the "adversary of no consequence," as Simcoe refers to him in a cloaked insult. Though there was dramatic tension as both Hewlett and Simcoe coolly squared off, neither acknowledging the truth about what really happened in Connecticut, this scene seemed to fail the "What Would Really Happen?" test. Plus, Anna's emotional attachment to Hewlett seemed earnest, making me wonder if the show is really serious about their romance. I feel like Anna deserves better than this current love triangle.
At least Robert Rogers got to have some fun. He's the show's Boba Fett, and I loved how he slithered into André's residence just as he and Peggy were sharing an intimate moment. "Don't mind me," he says, playfully. "I'm just enjoying he show." Rogers is there to collect his payment for securing the stolen intelligence as the King commanded, enabling him to cut loose from the stupid war and explore the Northwest Passage. But when André, who clearly loathes Rogers, sends him to the Customs House to receive his payment, the wily freelancer narrowly avoids an ambush by four masked men. The British stooge who tried to set him up gasps that the King was responsible for the order; see, the Crown is in such poor financial shape that it can't even pay off its mercenaries. Rogers walks away into the night after dispatching the assassins. Betrayed by his king, is he finished with this war? Is he heading north to make his fortune in the wilderness? Or might he seek some vengeance upon the man who wronged him, King George, just as he never forgot his treatment at the hands of Washington? Arnold's future now seems crystal clear; Rogers' is still unwritten.

Highland bagpipe chanter with keys added
Highland bagpipe chanter, Scottish, c. 1959. Open standing key added to cover left hand sound hole to help intonation. Closed key added to give octave B. Laburnum, ivory mounted. A label stuck on the chanter records 'A. Geddes'. Top B added completing B minor, i.e. Aeolian Mode (G, A) B-B'.
In its origins, the Highland bagpipe in common with other European and World bagpipes is a prehistoric wind instrument. Its main elements are the melody pipe or 'chanter' on which the music is played with the fingers (usually on a scale of nine notes) and with an accompanying fixed note or chordal accompaniment from the drone or drones, all of which are held in stocks tied into an animal skin bag (now coming to be replaced by synthetic materials). The player blows into the bag to supply a constant pressure and flow of air onto the reeds which are set into the chanter and drones and which make the sound. The air flow is controlled by a simple non-return valve on the blowstick.
This piece comes from the Glen and Ross Collection of musical instruments which were preserved in the shop of 'J & R Glen, Highland Bagpipe Makers' until it closed about 1978. This was the business founded in 1827 by Thomas McBean Glen in the Cowgate in Edinburgh, dealing in and repairing musical instruments. His brother, Alexander Glen, specialized in bagpipe-making and was succeeded by his son David. Thomas' sons, John and Robert Glen, succeeding to the business in 1866, probably did most to collect instruments and their antiquarian interests were carried on by Andrew Ross who acquired the business from the Glens in 1947. The National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland purchased the bagpipe collections from the family in 1983.

Apparently truffles grow in France because the soil contains a lot of limestone, the summer gets up to around 35 degrees, they have sub-zero weather in the winter and there is very little rain. Sound familiar?
And how wonderful it is that Canberrans are so heartily embracing this burgeoning local industry via the Canberra Truffle Festival. From a range of growers throughout the region, Canberra's restaurants have assembled special menus based around this most pungent of products.
We started a Saturday with a trip out to French Black Truffles of Canberra out on Majura Road. One of the pioneers of the truffle growing in the ACT, Sherry McArdle-Smith has the benefit of almost a decade of blood, sweat and tears invested in developing a product on par with the best of Europe's more traditional efforts.
After a highly informative session to learn of the perfect conditions for growing, as well as the challenges faced by a start-up truffle farming operation in the Southern Hemisphere (The Tasmanians were ahead of the game by a couple of years – but not much!), it was time to head out into the highly secured and tightly quarantined paddock to see if we couldn't find a couple of living examples of the local black gold.
Sherry has a keen sense of smell, but certainly nothing compared to her loyal offsider Tom the spaniel that can pick up the scent of the smallest ripe truffle from over 30 metres away. As we strolled through the field in the warm afternoon sun Tom led the way, following the invisible path to the first find of the day.
Interestingly, the truffle is so pungent that by kneeling over the spot identified by Tom we were able to smell the truffle ourselves. Certainly Tom made the process infinitely more efficient, but it was interesting to note how strong the smell was in its natural setting. After a couple of digs – with Tom receiving ample reward for his efforts – it was back to the shed for a bit more of a chat and some deliciously truffled creme brulee. We may have gone home empty-handed, but certainly our bellies were satisfied.
So inspired by our experience were we that a trip to the Fyshwick Markets was necessary -it's one of the few places you can readily buy your own truffle during the season, and many of the outlets are working hard to integrate truffles in with their regular produce (Plonk are matching beers and wines, while the organic butcher has delicious truffle sausages). At Deli Planet we found the raw ruffles for sale and, after recovering from minor heart palpitations upon seeing the price ($2,500 per kilo) we went home with 14 grams for the weekend's cooking.
There's so much on over the coming weeks for the Truffle Festival. We're off to a dinner or two, as well as experimenting with the truffles in a couple of cooking adventures. We'll report back as we do, but in the meantime be sure to get out and try some of the many delicious opportunities during the truffle season.
23 Mt Majura Road, Majura.
14gms, big effort, you should focus on the positives and not just the price, obviously you had to spring for the truffles yourself. Cant wait to read about what you managed to cook. Let me guess, shaved over scrambled eggs i bet.


If you're an emerging novelist or screenwriter, it's likely that you've attended or are thinking of attending a writers conference. Where else can you take classes to help you hone your craft, listen to panels of experts giving advice, or meet with an agent, editor or executive to pitch your latest book or script - all in one day or one weekend?
From Boston to Maui, from Miami to Toronto and in nearly every metropolis in-between, there are hundreds of writing conferences going on throughout the year. But if you're a 'newbie' heeding your first 'conference call', the very thought of being one of hundreds of aspiring writers can be pretty intimidating, overwhelming, and oftentimes, confusing. So many emerging writers are at a loss as to what to do and what is expected of them. So -- what can you do to maximize your time and effort at a writers conference? How can you make sure that your monetary investment -- oftentimes several hundred dollars for the conference fee alone, notwithstanding costs for transportation, hotel, and meals -- gives you the best possible value for your investment?
If the conference offers first-come, first-served appointments or one-on-one consultations with speakers and faculty personnel, be sure to send in your registration fee early to avoid disappointment. Since some speakers may be in more demand than others, many registration forms will ask for your selection of three or four faculty members, even though you may only have one appointment.
As soon as you receive the conference brochure, read it carefully and check off the classes/panels/discussions appropriate for your level of experience and your needs. Pay particular attention to events that will sharpen your skills and/or benefit your areas of interest, such as structure, TV/cable movies, dialogue, character development, the children's marketplace, etc. If two classes are scheduled at the same time, consider finding another conference participant attending one of the classes who might be willing to swap notes with you so that you both benefit from both classes.
If you have special needs (handicapped-accessible room, dietary requirements, etc.), be sure and contact the conference organizers to ask if these requests can be handled ahead of time. Be sure to pack notepads, writing instruments, business cards, tape recorder/tapes/batteries (always check in advance with conference personnel or speakers to find out if taping is allowed), and bring along a few copies of your manuscript, treatment or screenplay -- just in case.
Be sure and arrive early so you can check out the areas where the classes or panels will be held. Locate the registration desk, the dining area, and the rest rooms. Upon registering, ask the staff if there are any last-minute changes you should be aware of, such as cancelled workshops, room changes or substitute speakers, and make note of such changes if it affects your schedule.
Before the conference begins, you'll also need to get yourself in the right 'mind set.' It's helpful to establish realistic goals for yourself, keeping in mind that there are no guaranteed formulas for breaking into publishing or entertainment. Becoming an 'overnight success' is indeed a rarity. Understand that what works for one person won't always work for everyone. Be prepared to greet all advice, comments, and information with an open mind and with respect for the agent, editor or executive who is sharing his or her knowledge with the audience.
Make it a point to sit as close to the front of the room as possible. This is helpful if you are taping a session or want to take accurate notes. If, however, you know you may have to leave a session early (for a one-on-one consultation, for instance), select a seat next to the aisle and closer to the exit. Always be sure to wear your name tag/badge. If you are aware of a situation that deserves immediate attention (such as not enough handouts, not enough seats, faulty sound system, etc.), don't hesitate to locate a staff member who will rectify the situation.
Feel free to ask questions, especially during the question-and-answer period at the end of each session. Few speakers mind valid interruptions, so if you do not understand a point, it's perfectly all right to raise your hand and ask for a further explanation or clarification. Ask only one question at a time and allow others to ask their questions. It's a good idea to prepare some specific questions in advance for each session you're attending. If your question isn't answered during the class, you can then take advantage of the Q & A period that follows the presentation. Be sure your question pertains to the subject of the workshop. Questions that are related specifically to your own project are better left for one-on-one consultations.
When a session comes to a close, please refrain from crowding the speaker when he or she is leaving the stage, keeping in mind that the room needs to be readied for the next event. If you were unable to ask a question, wait until the speaker has left the classroom area. Most speakers will be more than happy to answer your query, provided they do not have to rush off to another commitment.
Many conferences also hold networking events that enable speakers to mingle with attendees. These are wonderful opportunities to make contacts and to gather information. If you want to ask a question, keep the question brief and to the point, remembering that others are awaiting their chance to speak with the faculty member. No one appreciates people who ungraciously monopolize a speaker's time.
If you're fortunate enough to obtain a one-on-one appointment, plan your agenda in advance. If you decide to pitch your manuscript or movie project, keep a careful eye on the clock so the speaker will have enough time to respond to your pitch. If you opt not to pitch a story idea or project, prepare three to five questions in advance, keeping in mind that most appointments are usually only 10 to 15 minutes in duration. Because of time restrictions, refrain from asking the speaker to read 'a few scenes' or your screenplay or the 'first chapter' of your manuscript. In many cases, agents, executives, and producers may not be allowed to accept material for legal reasons.
If you're unable to get a one-on-one with a particular speaker, consider asking a conference staff member to put you on a waiting list in case that speaker has a cancellation. Also, if you're unable to keep an appointment for a consultation, let a staff member know in plenty of time so another attendee will have an opportunity to ask questions or pitch their ideas.
Consider which presenters you'd like to meet during these networking events. If you have a romance novel or a romantic-comedy script, you might want to key in on the editor from Harlequin or the producer with a deal at the studio that just distributed the latest romantic blockbuster.
Conference veterans will usually take time to relax. With so much information being given in such a short period of time, it's helpful to schedule an occasional break to combat 'information overload'. Some conference goers will take a short walk or find a quiet area for a cup of coffee to gather their thoughts and evaluate what they've absorbed.
If there isn't one in your information packet, ask a conference staffer for an evaluation form. These forms are the perfect tool for making suggestions, comments or complaints. If you enjoyed the conference, take the time to tell the conference director or staff. If you were disappointed with a workshop or panel, take the time to explain why the session didn't meet your needs or expectations. Also list faculty members and speakers that were outstanding as well as those that you felt were off the mark. These evaluation forms are the most valuable tools that conference organizers have for planning future conferences. Your feedback will ensure that efforts will be made to improve the quality of the workshops, panels, and discussion groups.
It's also helpful to remember to not only network with the speakers, but to also network with your fellow writing colleagues attending the conference. Indeed, one of the unexpected highlights of attending a conference is sharing your experience with others. Meeting other writers may assist you to form writing critique groups, share workshop notes, or pool informational resources. Several conference attendees have even found writing partners and a few have even found future spouses!

related to the use of Metakit.

Streaming -
Some details about streaming and on-demand loading

When saving data, Metakit uses different formats, depending on whether
the data was saved with c4_Storage::Commit or with c4_Storage::SaveToStream.
This has a number of consequences on how and when data is loaded back in:

	    Saved using
	    Loaded as
	    Comments

		Commit

		Commit

		SaveToStream

		SaveToStream

		File

		Stream

		File

		Stream

		The normal case, loads data on-demand

		This combination is not allowed!

		Ok, will load all data during open

		Loads all data serially right away

As you can see in this overview, random-access and streaming can be mixed
in three out of four ways.  Once loaded, you can again save using either
c4_Storage::Commit or c4_Storage::SaveToStream.

When random-access and streaming are mixed on a storage object, the
following will happen:

Files are only modified (conceptually) during a call to c4_Storage::Commit.

c4_Storage::SaveToStream makes a snapshot of the current (uncommitted) state.

It is therefore possible to open a file, apply a few changes, save the
changed contents to a stream, and then close the file without committing
those changes.  Streaming does not interfere with the commit/rollback mechanism.

Faster -
What to do and what to avoid for maximum speed

The data structures used in Metakit can have surprising effects on performance,
both positively and negatively.
Here are a few suggestions which should help in most cases:

Preallocate rows - if the number or rows to add is known in advance,
use c4_View::SetSize to set the view size accordingly.  Fixed-size properties
will need to do fewer internal reallocations if pre-allocated.

When inserting several rows, consider inserting them all with a dummy value
first, and then using a loop to adjust each of the inserted values.

Limit the use of c4_Row objects - The construction of c4_Row objects is
relatively slow, and can often easily be avoided.  Here are three ways to
accomplish the same thing:

	  Slow

		for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)

		{

		    c4_Row temp;

		    property (temp) = ...;

		    view[i] = temp;

		}

	  Faster

		c4_Row temp;

		for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)

		{

		    property (temp) = ...;

		    view[i] = temp;

		}

	  Fastest

		for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)

		{

		    c4_RowRef row = view[i];

		    property (row) = ...;

		}

The last two statements could also have been combined as "property (view[i]) = ...;"

Note that "prop1 [value1] + prop2 [value2]" also creates several temporary
c4_Row objects, and should be avoided when top performance is critical.

Remove views before storage objects are destroyed - If a view
still exists when its underlying storage object is destroyed, Metakit has to
create a full copy of the data in memory before releasing the storage object,
to avoid even more confusing side-effects.

The following example illustrates a common source of suprises in Metakit:

	  Very slow
(on close)

		{

		    c4_View view;

		    c4_Storage storage (...);

		    view = storage.View(...);

		    ...

		}

	  Instant

		{

		    c4_Storage storage (...);

		    c4_View view = storage.View(...);

		    ...

		}

In the first case, the view still exists as the storage object goes out of scope.
There is a simple way to detach views from their storage objects, since they
act merely as (reference-counted) pointers: just set "view = c4_View ();"
before the storage object is destroyed.

Smaller -
How to manage data in the most compact format

Metakit implements automatic "adaptive integer sizing" and will often create
very compact data files as a result.  Strings and binary properties also use a
variable format, and require no "field width" setting.  Some tips to
allow you to make optimal use of these features:

Attached views are more compact - You can trade off size versus
speed by selecting either views attached to a storage object (smallest), or
unattached views (fastest).  Note that "storage" does not imply the need to
store data on file in this context.  It is perfectly valid to use the following
code to manage temporary data in memory without ever saving it to file:

		c4_Storage storage;

		c4_View view = storage.GetAt("temp[prop1:I,prop2:I]");

		...

		prop1 (view[i]) = ...;

		...

In this example, the view would use "adaptive integer sizing" even though
its data is valid only for the duration of each run.
Unattached views always use 32 bits to store integers.

Integer formats only increase in size - The representation used to
store integers in attached views (and on file)
 is based on the largest value (in magnitude) ever stored in
each property and view.  Storing large values in one subview will not affect
the storage used by that same property in another subview.

For integers, the number of bits used to store values is determined as follows:

	    Value range
	    Bits used
	    Comments

		0

		0 .. 1

		0 .. 3

		0 .. 15

		-128 .. 127

		-32768 .. 32727

		all others

		0

		1

		2

		4

		8

		16

		32

		If all rows are 0, no storage space is used

		Booleans are stored as 8 rows per byte

		Tiny positive codes

		A hex nibble

		One byte

		A short integer

		A long integer

Word of warning, this is going to be a picture heavy post.
Long story short, I have kids now and haven't swung a river in 5 years for steelhead, trout, or otherwise. No sense keeping all this stuff around.
Before we get started: For the rods and reels I would really, really prefer to do business with local folks/local pick up, i.e., Seattle/Tacoma anglers making the hand off face to fact. If you really want me to ship something that bad, you'll have to cover the cost. I prefer cash, but Paypal will work, too.
Lines--unless otherwise noted, these are in near-mint condition. I accumulated a lot of them for the purposes of dialing in grain windows, etc, which clearly didn't happen. Many of these lines were only test cast, if they were even cast at all.
Thanks for looking, please PM with any questions.
Wow! That's quite a collection. Best wishes.
Can you please come over to my place and organize everything!
If you are willing to ship the DH 5122 to Idaho I will take it!
Deals pending. Please refer to thread to see who's called dibs so far.
This is why I'm staying away from Spey. GLWTS!
Pm sent on a couple. Let me know. Thanks.
ECHO Glass switch rod and 200gr Skagit Max Short are gone. Thanks!
I'll take the ls4 if still available. PM incoming.
Jon, you wrote "kids" as in plural? Last time I saw you you only had one. How many do you have now?
Post updated on sold items.


Have you ever had one of those days where it becomes so clear that the Universe has plans for your life? Well, I had one of those days. I spent some time after work going through Pasadena View's website and their page, 365 things to do in Pasadena page. I printed out the listed, crossed off the places I had already visited and started to do some research on some of the events. Then it just became a chain of events. Google led me to Pasadena View's website, the 365 Things to Do page led me to the Old Pasadena website and the Events page led me to a Gallery and Bookstore that I had never heard of before, Flower Pepper Gallery & Bookstore. The name alone caught my attention. But the events page mentioned that this particular gallery currently had a group show in exhibition entitled "The Color Blue." I clicked on the more info page and the show advertisement caught my eye. I found the image intriguing and wanted to see more. The title of the exhibit could mean so many different things (I started to think of Picaso's Blue period) so the best way to satisfy my curiousity was to head over to Flower Pepper and check it out.
When I arrived in Old Town, I immediately found a paking spot right in front of the gallery (that never happens to me). The Flower Pepper Gallery & Bookstore is literally right on the corner of Union and N. Arroyo Parkway. When I first walked in, I was greeted by the extremely nice and courteous staff. I probably could have stood there talking for hours, but I had only put 45 minutes worth of coins in the meter and of course the gallery would eventually have to close.
The art work in the exhibit, created by several local artists, truly fits the theme of "The Color Blue." The image titled "Baby Blue" by Dustin Myers was the first to catch my eye. If I only had large quantities of money to spend on artwork, this would be the first added to my art collection. And the image "The Comfort of Apathy" by Ryan Myers would be the perfect gift for my college roommate; this is an image that I think many from my generation would want hanging in their homes, reminding us of our own childhood (and Pee Wee Herman).
Every image in the exhibit had great depth and detail, leaving the true meanings of the work open for multiple interpretations. The images are displayed on the Flower Pepper Gallery Bookstore website but I highly suggest heading down to Old Town Pasadena (if you are in the LA area) and checking them out in person. They will be on display until October 19th and a new exhibit opens on the 20th (stop by and meet the artists opening night–contact the Gallery for more details).
This is definitely an art gallery that I would definitely want to check out every time they have a new exhibit. Like I said, I think the Universe wanted me to go there today. I made a new friend and hopefully a new partnership that will help me with one of my goals on my bucket list: to make a difference in the lives of others. So stay tuned. I think I will be writing more about the Flower Pepper in the future.
So glad you found my site Pasadena Views and hope that it gave you the starting point to your adventure. I"ll have to check out the Flower Pepper Gallery bookstore myself. Have a great Monday!
Your site is amazing and has been so helpful in my quest to explore Los Angeles. I am originally from Detroit and I moved to the Altadena area last December. I have been using your site as a check off list–for what I have already done and for what I want to do. So thank you.

Q: How does a client know when a https or https request has been fulfilled? I am wondering how a client that has requested a webpage froma get request for example knows exactly when it has received all the requested data and that there is no more data to come using both https and http examples ?
Thanks

A: There's no difference between HTTP and HTTPS, since HTTPS is just HTTP tunneled through a TLS tunnel.
To answer your question: if the server sends the Content-Lenght: x header, then the response body should be exactly of dimension x octects(bytes)
If the server doesn't send this header, than it varies:
for HTTP 1.0, the response body is definitely terminated after the server closes the connection.
For HTTP 1.1 it's more complicated because the server could use chunked encoding: http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2616.html#rfc.section.3.6.1

A: Reference Sample HTTP Exchange

Sample HTTP Exchange
To retrieve the file at the URL
http://www.somehost.com/path/file.html

first open a socket to the host www.somehost.com, port 80 (use the
  default port of 80 because none is specified in the URL). Then, send
  something like the following through the socket:
GET /path/file.html HTTP/1.0
From: someuser@jmarshall.com
User-Agent: HTTPTool/1.0
[blank line here]

The server should respond with something like the following, sent back
  through the same socket:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 23:59:59 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 1354

Happy New Millennium!

(more file contents)
  .
  .
  .

After sending the response, the server closes the socket.

Liam Livingstone Characters With Perth Sensations To 2019-20 FF > Cricket News, cricinfo, mobilecric, cricbuzz, livescore and more
Cricket news - Liam Livingstone signs with Perth Scorchers for 2019-20 BBL
Liam Livingstone is the first international signing for Scorchers this season
Liam Livingstone, the England and Lancashire batsman, has signed with the Perth Scorchers for the upcoming season of Big Bash League. Livingstone is the first international signing for Scorchers this season.
"It's a tournament I've always wanted to play in so I can't wait to get to Perth," Livingstone said. "I've spent a winter in Perth, I know the place well and I'm looking forward to getting back there. I can't wait to see everyone at The Furnace this summer and hopefully I can provide some entertainment for the members and fans."
Livingstone has scored 1,774 T20 runs at a strike rate of 140.90 across 76 matches. The 26-year-old has played with Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League and with Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League in 2019.
"We're very pleased to have secured Liam for the upcoming season," Head coach Adam Voges said. "He has performed really well in T20 cricket all around the world over the past 12 months.
"Liam's a great all-round package, he'll give us some aggression at the top of the order, he's a handy spinner and a fantastic fielder. We're excited about what Liam can bring to the Scorchers this season and I'm sure he'll become a fan favourite very quickly."
Perth Scorchers Squad: Mitchell Marsh (c), Fawad Ahmed, Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorff, Cameron Bancroft, Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Nick Hobson, Josh Inglis, Matt Kelly, Liam Livingstone, Joel Paris, Jhye Richardson, Ashton Turner, Andrew Tye, Sam Whiteman.


In the first week of October, the gravestone from the first grave was returned to the Cemetery in all its glory. The images show the journey of restoration from how it was at the beginning of the Project, through a preliminary clean (undertaken to ascertain the extent of the work), to the final result. You will agree the end result is very surprising. It was impossible to envisage the final result with its complicated design as so much of it had sunk into the grass. What a wonderful 152nd commemorative gift for Sarah.

Application of the AD HOC COMMITTEE GREENBURGH ELEVEN UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT for the removal of Esther Ridder, Louis Lustenberger, John Morgan, Francis Vernon, Sherman Epstein, Stephen Slater, and Mitchell Berken from their positions as members of the Board of Education of the Greenburgh Eleven Union Free School District.
(September 25, 1992)
Michael H. Sussman, Esq., attorney for petitioner
Plunkett & Jaffe, P.C., attorneys for respondent, Phyllis S. Jaffe, Esq., of counsel
SOBOL, Commissioner.--Petitioner seeks to remove each of the above-named respondents from their positions on the Board of Education of the Greenburgh Eleven Union Free School District. The application must be denied.
Petitioner is an unincorporated association of school teachers. In June 1990 the Board of Education of the Greenburgh Union Free School District contracted with the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York for the construction of a new middle school. Pursuant to Chapter 737 of the Laws of 1988, the Dormitory Authority is authorized to construct and finance facilities for special act school districts, such as the Greenburgh Eleven Union Free School District.
After review of the qualifications of several candidates, and after considering a recommendation from the superintendent of schools, respondent on or about September 17, 1990 appointed a construction manager for preconstruction activities. Petitioner alleges that respondent's method of selecting and hiring the construction manager violated Executive Law ''296 and 297 and Article 18 of the General Municipal Law.
Respondent contends that in addition to lacking substantive merit, this appeal is procedurally defective and must be dismissed. In particular, respondent contends that this appeal, commenced at the earliest on or about October 5, 1991, is untimely because it seeks to challenge respondent's activities between July and October 1990. Respondent further alleges that petitioner, as an unincorporated association, lacks standing to bring this appeal under Education Law '310, and further argues that petitioner has not shown that it is aggrieved by respondent's actions.
8 NYCRR '275.16 provides that an appeal to the Commissioner must be instituted within 30 days from the making of the decision or the performance of the act complained of. This appeal, instituted in October 1991, is clearly not timely to review actions which took place in the fall of 1990. Section 275.16 authorizes the Commissioner to excuse a failure to commence a timely appeal for good cause shown, but further stipulates that the reason for the failure must be set forth in the petition. Although petitioner alleges in the reply that this appeal should be deemed timely because respondent's allegedly improper activities are of an ongoing nature, the allegation was not set forth in the petition, nor has petitioner described how the alleged improper activities are ongoing. Under these circumstances, the application must be dismissed as untimely (Appeal of Kushner, 31 Ed Dept Rep 351; Appeal of Ruffino, et al., 31 id. 183).
On the issue of standing, an unincorporated association such as petitioner lacks standing to maintain an appeal to the Commissioner of Education (Appeal of NAACP, et al., 30 Ed Dept Rep 187). Although petitioner alleges that standing to maintain an appeal on behalf of students in the respondent district has been recognized in federal litigation, petitioner fails to assert that, as related to this appeal, respondent's actions have caused any harm to students in respondent's school. Therefore, the application must also be dismissed for petitioner's lack of standing (Appeal of Luther H., 30 id. 233; Appeal of Barbara P., et al., 30 id. 198).
I have considered petitioner's remaining contentions and find them without merit.
THE APPLICATION IS DENIED.

The Conference was attended by the 3-tiers of membership, namely, Full Members (10), Associate Members (39) and Affiliate Member Representatives (5 representing 56), for the last time, as significant changes were envisaged for better governance. The Conference schedule had important meetings amongst the various groups ending with the Full Council, ratifying landmark modifications to the structures as well as elections to the Chief Executives Committee (CEC).
Significant amongst the changes were the promotion of Ireland & Afghanistan from Associate Members to Full Member status, expulsion of USA Cricket Association from ICC and the merging of Associate and Affiliate Member classes to just Associates.
Botswana made history when Sumod Damodar was elected to the Chief Executives Committee (CEC), at theFormal Meeting of the Associates & Affiliates. Sumod was one of six candidates contesting for the 3 positions available on CEC. The electorate comprised of 40 votes, as 2 Members were under suspension and 2 Members were not present. At the conclusion of the elections, the elected members were; Neil Speight (Bermuda), Sumod Damodar (Botswana) & Betty Timmer (Netherlands). This is the first time that Botswana has contested for any position in the ICC.
In an exclusive interview with Gazette Sports the elated Damodar stated his inclusion in the ICC Council is a reward for the association's hard work.
"My involvement in to the International Cricket Council (ICC) as a Chief Executive committee is a huge milestone for the hard work BCA has been putting in the past few years. One of my primary objective will deal with important aspects of the game such as handling tournament programme and executive roles,"Damodar stated.
The CEC is the link between the Development Committee & Cricket Committee and the ICC Board and the term of office is for a period of 2 years.
At the continental level, Girish Ramakrishna was elected as Development Director of the Africa Cricket Association (ACA) during their AGM at the end of April, whilst Sumod Damodar vacated his previous position as Tournament Director.

The share of In-Cell solutions in the global smartphone market is estimated to reach 31.9% by the end of 2017, according to the latest research on touch display solutions by WitsView, a division of TrendForce. This latest share figure for In-Cell solutions, which is an upward revision from the earlier projection of 29.6%, is mainly attributed to the near maturation of IC products for TDDI (Touch with Display Driver Integration) as well as their rapid adoption in the panel industry.
"Technologically, In-Cell solutions have advanced significantly over the past two to three years," said Boyce Fan, research director of WitsView, a division of TrendForce. "Pure In-Cell solutions, including those that integrated with TDDI chips, are now starting to displace Hybrid In-Cell solutions as the market mainstream. Some of the well-known leading suppliers of TDDI chips are Synaptics based in the U.S. and Taiwan's FocalTech.
Fan pointed out that the In-Cell technology in the past few years used to be specifically for high-end smartphones, such as models carrying displays of FHD resolution. Furthermore, Synaptics for a time was the main TDDI suppliers as the In-Cell technology remained positioned in the high-end market. FocalTech, on the other hand, has helped to accelerate the development of TDDI chips for HD smartphone displays since it entered the market. Subsequently, the number of TDDI solution for HD smartphone displays together with the number of smartphone models using such solutions have grown substantially. Currently, Synaptics and FocalTech dominate the FHD and HD market segments, respectively. WitsView estimates that the share of In-Cell solutions integrated with TDDI chips in the smartphone market will grow from about 6% in 2016 to about 14% in 2017.
Fan added that steeper drops in prices of TDDI chips are also caused by more IC suppliers entering the market (e.g. Novatek and Himax). With prices of TDDI chips becoming less of an issue, WitsView forecasts that in 2018, the share of In-Cell touch solutions in the global smartphone market will expand rapidly to 37.6%. Moreover, the share of In-Cell plus TDDI solutions in the global smartphone market will reach around 22% in 2018.
