Dilemmas of Violence
Reading Jane Addams' essays in my on-going exploration of reflections on violence and non-violence. Two (fairly) quick observations.
First, Addams writes that "an ideal government is merely an adjustment between men concerning their mutual relations toward those general matters which concern them all" (3). To that end, "organization is [our] only hope, but it must be kept distinct from militarism, which can never be made a democratic instrument" (3).
Politics, in short, is a consequence of humans being social animals. We must find modus vivendi, ways of managing to live together that foster, at the minimum, survival of the species and, at the maximum, the flourishing of members of the species. Ideally, flourishing will be available to all—but that can only be achieved through collective action, through cooperation.
Thus, politics requires organization, making arrangements and then striving to maintain them. In the usual formulation, it is assumed that there will always be outliers who threaten any particular arrangement, people against whom that arrangement will have to be defended. There is also the problem of blood feuds. Classically, the origin of the state is attributed to one of these two motives: protection of social arrangements (particularly property) against threats internal and external—or the establishment of a legal system that takes vengeance out of the hands of private citizens. The argument then goes that the establishment of the state leads to a reduction in violence because the state acts to suppress violent actions through deterrence and punishment. Certainly, Steven Pinker takes this view in his book on violence.
The nay-sayers to that view, however, point out that organization as represented by the state greatly increases the scope and effectiveness of violence perpetuated by state actors as contrasted to isolated individuals. Armies are far more violent than criminals; wars far more devastating than family feuds. "War is the health of the state," writes Randolph Bourne. Even if there is pre-state violence, the formation of states to restrain it introduces a cure that is worse than the disease. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Violence is just baked in. And we don't even get to pick our poison since the state has become (just about everywhere) triumphant.
Back to Addams then: one way to express the problem is to say: how do we get the benefits of organization and cooperation without the militarism?
Worth mentioning, I guess, that there is a school of anthropologists and primatologists (I am just beginning to read their work) who say violence isn't baked in and that the archaeological record does not indicate much violence among humans prior to the Neolithic Age (about 10,000 years ago, a mere blip in the evolutionary time scale), while studies of our primate cousins also suggest violence is rare. For these writers, the state is the culprit, not human nature. But not clear how that helps, since it is hard to imagine a return to a pre-state human condition.
Second thing in Addams. In her attempts to broker a peace during the First World War, she advocated the charming idea of convening an international tribunal that would hear the claims of each nation in the conflict. In other words, each nation would come to the table and say (for example): that we, the British, are at war with Germany because we need this or we object to the Germans doing that. And then the tribunal would judge which claims were legitimate needs or grievances, and which were not. There would follow an international effort to satisfy the legitimate claims.
What is so charming about the idea is that it slyly (I don't in fact think this was Addams' intent) reveals how many "war aims" cannot stand the Kantian publicity test, that is could not be acknowledged openly with any faith that others would admit their justice.
But, less charming, is the fact that, by the end of 1915, few of the nations involved in the war would have even been able to articulate what the war was about. As Addams discovered in her many conversations with belligerents on both sides of the contest, the war continued because to end it would be to admit or accept defeat—which was unacceptable not because of any dire consequences that would follow from defeat, but simply because of the humiliation of defeat. In short, the tribunal idea, precisely because it is so irrelevant to the actual causes of the conflict's perpetuation, indicates just how irrational violence is. The violence is not the means to some end. It does not partake of means/ends rationality at all. It exists in some entirely different register, which we can conveniently call "madness." But that designation gets us nowhere in trying to explain what is going on.
So my other dilemma concerning violence (in addition to how states both prevent and cause violence) is how to "think" violence when it seems essentially irrational. I want some satisfactory account of the dynamics, motives, and trajectories of that irrationalism.

What drives the mobility of tomorrow? What alternative energy options will be available for aviation in the long term? Which power and system technologies will further improve the efficiency of future aircraft concepts, and will these lead to completely new designs? What impact will information technologies have on future products and their development processes? In light of these and other questions, as a research institution, Bauhaus Luftfahrt analyses major driving forces, new technological approaches, and innovative ideas and integrates them into holistic solutions for aviation.
For more than a decade, Bauhaus Luftfahrt is studying topics from very different perspectives in the sense of a think tank: The 39 scientists with professional expertise in their fields of social sciences and economics, nature and engineering sciences as well as informatics identify and assess promising approaches and develop them, frequently in collaboration with national and international partners, as a basis for new product ideas and concepts. Bauhaus Luftfahrt is thereby playing a key pioneering role – as a think tank, a research institution, and an impulse generator for experts, the public, and politicians.
According to all forecasts, the civil aviation fleet will triple by 2050. The goals of 75 % less CO2 emissions, considerably reduced NOx emissions and noise compared to 2000 are expressed in Flightpath 2050. From the growth in air traffic, the Flightpath 2050 goals, and the long product life cycles of aircraft of up to 60 years, Bauhaus Luftfahrt derives its task of going far beyond the boundaries of conventional technologies and materials and of studying new aspects. Here, no predictions can or should be made on what the next product will be. Instead, scientists are searching for new technologies and materials, showing their relevance for future developments, and raising awareness of wherein the potential for aviation lies. The knowledge gained in this way offers numerous incentives to think differently and participate in discussions – and all of that is outside the existing conventional research and development landscape. The approach, to first let an idea arise in an interdisciplinary creative process and then check it in a scientifically sound manner for its applicability, makes Bauhaus Luftfahrt unique as a research institution in Germany and Europe.
Bauhaus Luftfahrt e. V. was founded in November 2005 by the three aerospace companies Airbus, Liebherr-Aerospace and MTU Aero Engines as well as the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy. The source of the name was Staatliches Bauhaus, the interdisciplinary art, design, and architecture school by Walter Gropius in the Weimar and Dessau of the 1920s. Since 2012, IABG Industrieanlagen-Betriebsgesellschaft has rounded out the circle of renowned industrial partners. Since 2015, Bauhaus Luftfahrt has been based on Ludwig Bölkow Campus in Taufkirchen near Munich, whose founding partner it is.

Q: Detect when an external android app runs onCreate, onStart, onResume methods I want to know how to detect when an external app runs one of this methods. I'm working with some classmates in a project where we want to examinate the response time of other applications. The idea is to measure the time between the run of each method to get an aproximation of the response time when opening the app.
Is this possible to achieve?

A: Android apps are sandboxed and only expose content that they intend to expose. The methods you name are part of components that cannot be accessed directly from the "outside" world. In other ways, if an app wanted you to know when those methods are being called, they will expose that information (i.e. sending a Broadcast or maybe storing the information in a ContentProvider). You can try and see if you can get some information out of the logcat, but I cannot assure how accurate and consistent it will be.

A: This is imprecise, but I would monitor logcat activity. Depending on the device/VM/AVD logcat is super active during transitions (such as back-grounding and foregrounding) and idle when an app is awaiting user input.
EDIT:
Other than that, if you can do your analysis off the device, perhaps look into using DDMS?

Editorial: Balochistan To The Fore
In today's world, it is no longer possible to carry on blithely with this kind of slow genocide without the world taking notice, sooner or later.
Balochistan has an unfortunate history of denial of rights and repression against those who demand them. It is doubly unfortunate because it has been largely ignored by the political forces as well as the media, barring untoward incidents such as the murder of Nawab Akbar Bugti.
Daily Times is proud to have consistently led in this regard. Our persistence in reporting and commenting on a critical issue may finally be bearing fruit in bringing the issue into the mainstream political discourse as well as gathering the belated attention of the media. One example of the former is the heated debate in the National Assembly (NA) the other day, related to the killing in Karachi of the wife and daughter of Balochistan MPA Mir Bakhtiyar Domki, which expanded to a discussion of the regime of extra-judicial killings that are the norm in that benighted province.
Parliamentarians bemoaned the fact that the committee set up to look into the troubled situation in the province has failed to report. The demand now for a special committee for the same purpose misses the point. Neither the federal nor the provincial Balochistan government are in charge of policy in the province.
The 'kill and dump' policy is being pursued by the FC, obviously under the orders of the military establishment. The FC has once again sprinkled salt on the wounds of the Baloch by killing protestors against the Domki family murders. No political force has so far been able to prevail upon the military authorities to revisit their policy and desist from what more and more people are characterising as a disastrous course.
In today's world, it is no longer possible to carry on blithely with this kind of slow genocide without the world taking notice, sooner or later. This is what explains the US Congress' decision to hold a hearing on the Balochistan situation. While some may see this development as a triumph for the lobbying of exiled Baloch nationalists in the US, it sits uncomfortably with both Islamabad and the Obama administration for their own discrete reasons. Pakistan's foreign office sees the hearing as an unjustified interference in a purely internal affair of Pakistan, while the US administration, engaged in fence mending with Islamabad after the relations between the two countries went into deep freeze following the Salala attack, views the hearing and its timing as deeply embarrassing in its efforts to woo Pakistan back into a friendlier posture. Our foreign office seems woefully out of touch with the way the world works at present. Interconnectedness has ensured that no major development, let alone one involving a deliberate policy of decapitating the small intelligentsia of a still largely tribal society (albeit evolving haltingly into modernity), can stay off the radar forever. Washington is despatching General James Mattis, the head of the US's Central Command, to Pakistan for talks with the Pakistani military top brass regarding the new terms of engagement desired by Islamabad and under discussion in Pakistan's parliament currently. In fact those deliberations resulted in the cancellation of US Special Representative for Pakistan and Afghanistan Marc Grossman's visit recently, and has led to General Mattis' visit being postponed by at least a week. Apart from the general tenor of the relationship going forward, the US and NATO desire a reopening of the supply route for their forces in Afghanistan that stays blocked since the Salala incident. To persuade Islamabad, the US administration is said to be contemplating reversing its initial reluctance to offer an apology for the deaths of Pakistani soldiers at the hands of the US and allied forces in Salala. The US Congress hearing at this precise moment could, in the administration's view, cause further embarrassment in its relationship-healing thrust. The hearing itself will reveal its contours today, but the contentious issue of some nationalists' demand for independence for Balochistan, implying the balkanisation of Pakistan, is considered too sensitive even to be commented on by the US State Department.
As an example of Baloch grievances, the issue of its natural resources and control/benefit for the local population has once again been highlighted by the case of the Tethyan copper project at Reko Diq. The Baloch are still smarting from the outcome of an earlier copper project, Saindak, which eventually ended up with a Chinese company with little or no benefit to locals or the province. Historical resentment over the use of Sui gas all over the country while depriving Balochistan of its benefits for many years still simmers despite the partial supply of gas to some urban areas since some years. The constitutional construct of Pakistan makes it very difficult for provinces to claim their just rights over their natural resources. That is an area which, if revisited, could go some way towards mitigating resentment in Balochistan. But the real issue is the attempt by the military to resolve the political/economic conundrum of Balochistan through unfettered force and repression. The times have changed. Force and repression will only reap the whirlwind of greater resistance by the Baloch people, now encouraged by the increasing attention being paid to their issues by local and international opinion. *

Sheridan Looking To Close The Gap At The Bottom
Manager John Sheridan is looking to close the gap at the bottom as he takes his side to Blackpool tomorrow night.
A win for Latics tomorrow could put them only two points behind Fleetwood Town who occupy 20th position, with Athletic having a game in hand on the Cod Army.
Sheridan said: "It's a game where if we win, we gain ground on Blackpool but if they win they can move away from us and make it difficult for us.
"We can look at games in hand but they are only good if you are winning them.
"It will be a tough game, they have had some good results apart from the last one they had against Shrewsbury Town but we will go there and hopefully put on a performance like Saturday.
"If we do that, we'll have a good chance of winning the game.
"Any team on their day can beat anybody in this league. You wouldn't look at us and think we were second from bottom and Wigan were third from top on Saturday.
"Consistency is the magic word. You've got to work really hard to get it out of your players, and that's what I've got to do. We are showing that in our performances.
"I think the last three games have been good for us so we've got to keep them standards up. I'm sure results will come our way."
Defender Anthony Gerrard limped out of Saturday's game with Wigan Athletic with a knee injury and the manager revealed he is a doubt for tomorrow's game.
"He's still a bit sore," admitted Sheridan. "He's going for a scan just to make sure everything is okay and he says he feels better. We will have to see how he is for tomorrow.
"Everyone else from the game have come out fine. We'll have a look at Brian Wilson today and Mike Jones will have a go this morning.
"I'm only looking at the fit players who are playing so I've got to put a team out who will get us something."
At the moment, Latics have sold just over 500 tickets for tomorrow's game with Blackpool, and as it is pay on the day, more supporters are expected to attend.
The gaffer is hoping the fans will continue their excellent support and cheer the lads on tomorrow.
"They were brilliant and different class at Wigan," he said. "They never shut up throughout the game and our performance gave them belief.
"They got right behind us, which I knew they would do. It's been difficult this season but if we show a bit of fight and a bit of spirit, they will be with us all the way, I know that."

We've seen a great level of interest in our attempt to better organise away support and we have some great updates to share with you on this after just two and a half weeks!
Firstly welcome aboard Michael Ansell. Michael is a keen London Irish supporter and he has taken the role of away support coordinator and has already contacted every single Championship club!
As part of this work we have already started, thanks to the erstwhile "Big Al", Alex Hoenig our Membership Secretary, a revised Guide to the Championship. This features travel details for each of the other 11 clubs including some new visits for London Irish supporters in Coventry RFC and Hartpury.
These guides will be updated as we get closer to each match with potentially one of the biggest matches first-up away to Ealing drawing our focus currently and Jersey, subject to much discussion recently, being almost complete.
For Ealing and Jersey – tickets should be on sale as soon as today (Monday 9th July) so please look out for these. As seating is unreserved at Ealing we are not suggesting a congregation spot yet but this is forthcoming.
Warm Up Areas – We have asked each club to confirm what half of the pitch Irish will be warming up in for those of you eager to get up close and personal and these will be on the guide pages.
Suggested Congregation Areas – A lot of the matches feature unreserved areas for standing or seating. Where possible, we will be suggesting areas for supporters to aim for in order to maximise noise and colour.
Guard of Honour – We will be asking closer to the time for coach arrival times at each stadium so supporters may wish to greet and cheer the players off the coach.
Accessible Seating – Where possible we will be providing information on accessible seating for those that use wheelchairs and how to raise any questions or concerns to each club.
A big thank you for all the interest we've received for this initiative and we hope you find it useful in 2018-19. Let's back the boys home and away as much as possible!

Aperture R40 New Features, Azure AD Group-Based Scanning is now available. Palo Alto Networks Live Community dives into the new features of Aperture R40, Azure AD group-based scanning. Read about how group-based scanning affects user groups, improves scanning and enhances the Aperture R40 experience.
The latest R40 release of Aperture adds Group-Based Scanning for Azure AD (Active Directory).
Connecting your Azure Active Directory service to Aperture allows you to retrieve information on user groups and group membership from your centralized repository of users and groups on your network. The Aperture service allows you to selectively include or exclude user groups' information when scanning assets in the supported SaaS application.
If you need to exclude a user group due to differences in data privacy rules or have private assets that should be excluded from scanning, connecting a directory service and enabling selective scanning will address this need.
When you connect your directory service to Aperture, you provide the identifiers and keys, authorizing the service to establish a secure connection to the directory to retrieve your user and group information. Aperture refreshes every 24 hours, but if there are changes to users and groups that you'd like to retrieve before the automatic refresh, selecting Refresh updates your user and group information.
One of the screens you will see when configuring Azure Active Directory.
You can add a subset of groups to scan or exclude from scanning.

\section{Introduction}
\let\thefootnote\relax\footnotetext{* All authors have contributed equally to the work.}
Code-mixing is the mixing of two or more languages in speech. English words, for instance, are often mixed into Hindi sentences to form what is colloquially known as \emph{Hinglish} \cite{bali2014borrowing}. Social media users from multilingual countries like India are seen to express themselves using code-mixed language.
Sentiment analysis is a technique which can label this data as positive, negative, or neutral. The rise in the use of deep learning models for sentiment analysis has led to more accurate predictions. However, these complex models lack transparency on model predictions as they behave like black boxes of information. Explainable AI is an evolving area of research that provides a set of methods to help humans understand and interpret a model's decisions \cite{MILLER20191}. Specifically for the task of sentiment analysis of textual data, these techniques allow us to understand how a word or phrase influences the sentiment of the text \cite{Bodria2020ExplainabilityMF}.
This paper discusses the importance and practicality of model-agnostic explainable methods for sentiment analysis of code-mixed data.

\section{Methodology and Preliminaries}

\textbf{SAIL 2017} provides a sentiment classification dataset on Hindi-English code-mixed data that has been split into training, validation, and test sets with 10055, 1256, and 1257 instances, respectively \cite{sarkar2018jukssailcodemixed2017}. Every sample has been labeled as positive, negative, or neutral in sentiment.

\textbf{XLM-RoBERTa} is a transformer-based cross-lingual language model trained on 100 different languages \cite{conneau2020unsupervised}. We fine-tuned the model — pre-trained on Hindi-English code-mixed data — on our dataset.  We feed the outputs of the last hidden layer in XLM-RoBERTa to a softmax layer to get the final probability-class distribution.

For this work we will be discussing two model-agnostic methods, LIME \cite{ribeiro2016why} and SHAP \cite{lundberg2017unified}.

\textbf{LIME} stands for Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations and examines the model's behavior around an instance of the dataset rather than looking at the entire dataset. LIME works based on input perturbations and their respective changes on the model output.

\textbf{SHAP} or SHapley Additive exPlanations leverages the idea of Shapley values of game theory for model feature influence scoring. Unlike LIME, SHAP can be used to interpret feature dependency on the entire model.

LIME and SHAP use the trained model to extract predictions for the original as well as perturbed sentences. LIME interprets the individual sentences locally, while SHAP interprets the model as a whole.  The explanations are extracted for the validation and test sets.  We use these explanations to visualize and quantify our experiments.

    \caption{Metric MAELOSD for Sentence, Model, and CodeMixed is presented in this figure.}
    \label{fig:maelosd}
\end{figure*}

\section{Experimental Results}

This section discusses the results of both LIME and SHAP explainable approaches on the code-mixed data. We present a comparison between the two methodologies using three metrics, described by Mean Absolute Error of Log-Odds Scores on Deletion (MAELOSD) which is defined as,\\
\begin{equation}
    = \sum \frac{(|log\_odds_{i} - log\_odds_{f}|)}{n}
\end{equation}

where $i$ refers to sentences without word deletions and $f$ refers to sentences with deleted words \cite{chen2020generating}. We define polarizing words as those which have been given the highest weights by the explanations of the LIME and SHAP models.

\begin{enumerate}
  \item MAELOSD of Sentence-Interpreted Polarizing Words (\emph{MAELOSD-Sentence}): We delete the top $n$ polarizing words as returned by our explainable model from the sentence and re-compute the Log-Odds Scores. We then calculate the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) for all samples.
  \item MAELOSD of Model-Interpreted Polarizing Words (\emph{MAELOSD-Model}): We repeat the same computation with summarized weights for the entire vocabulary(English and Code-mixed). For LIME, we take the average of the word weights across each example. The new weights now represent the most polarizing words.
  \item MAELOSD of Code-Mixed Words (\emph{MAELOSD-CodeMixed}): This metric calculates sentence-wise MAE upon deletion of top $n$ polarizing code-mixed words. We consider all words which are not a part of the GloVe(6B) \cite{penningtonetal2014glove} vocabulary as code-mixed.  For instance, the word \emph{accha} is a Hindi word that does not appear in the GloVe vocabulary and is hence considered code-mixed.
\end{enumerate}

We expect the mean absolute error to increase on the deletion of polarizing words since the model would make poor predictions.

We can observe the results of all three metrics in Fig~\ref{fig:maelosd}.
Fig~\ref{fig:maelosd}(a) — MAELOSD-Sentence — illustrates LIME's local advantage over SHAP, while Fig~\ref{fig:maelosd}(b) — MAELOSD-Model — represents SHAP's global advantage over LIME. We also observe that upon deleting $n\geq3$ words, sentences become too short, thus returning random predictions.

We can also see the impact of code-mixed data from our results in Fig~\ref{fig:maelosd}(c), where the error increases in proportion to the number of words deleted. These words have a similar impact on label prediction to that of English words. Even so, global SHAP explanations do not hold as much impact as local LIME explanations, thus implying that the \emph{Hinglish} vocabulary is much more diverse. This may be due to the deletion of globally important words that may not be present locally.

Our results align with the application of both LIME and SHAP, demonstrating their local and global natures. We can see the application and easy integration of model-agnostic interpretability pipelines on code-mixed data.

\section{Conclusion and Future Work}

Code-mixed data is an integral part of communication in multilingual communities. The use of SHAP and LIME, which quantify global and local model explanations, allows us to display their application and importance for sentiment analysis on code-mixed data.
For future work, we would like to formalize and derive a quantifiable metric for global explanations, comparing the impact of code-mixed data with standard English sentences. We would also like to experiment with different model architectures and datasets. We believe that our work serves as a valuable resource for the code-mixed AI  community. The integration of explainable methods in code-mixed data paves a new path towards future research and development.

Indian Economy - TFP or Factor Accumulation: A Comprehensive Growth Accounting Exercise
Gupta, Abhay (2007): Indian Economy - TFP or Factor Accumulation: A Comprehensive Growth Accounting Exercise.
Constructing data series from various sources, I do comprehensive growth accounting for the Indian Economy. Without accounting for human capital, total factor productivity differences over time accounts for 48% to 69% of output variation. TFP growth accounts for 35% to 70% of the total GDP growth between 1960 and 2004 depending on measure of human capital. Even after using the Mincer wage regression coefficients, TFP growth still remains significant in explaining the output growth.
Starting from a modest rate in 60s Productivity growth dipped and became negative in 70s. This productivity growth rate started accelerating in 80s (much before the reform-period of early 90s) and is estimated between 3% and 4.5% in 2000s. Variance decomposition of growth rates show negative relation because input and output growth accelerated in different periods. Capital-Output ratio seems to transition from one-steady state to another. Capital-per-Worker has reached a constant rate of growth.
Accounting estimates, decompositions and period-wise trends point toward Indian growth being triggered by overall efficiency improvement (TFP) rather than input accumulation growth.

After loading all the five images,each image should fade out randomly(say for 2 seconds), and again it should fade in(after 2 seconds).
Hope this explanation is more than enough.
Thanks

The important fact to know is that a songwriter founded Motown Records.
Berry Gordy Jr. built his reputation and his business on songs, first for Jackie Wilson in the fifties and, later, for the young, hopeful singers he discovered and nurtured at his own record company in Detroit in the sixties. Gordy thought of these songs as his children. He even borrowed the names of his real offspring, Joy, Berry and Terry, when choosing an identity – JoBeTe Music – for his publishing company.
As a writer in the days before Motown, Gordy knew that success meant having more than one performer record his work. That validated his composing talent and put more money in the bank. As an owner of songs once Motown, and Jobete, was up and running, Gordy put those copyrights to work. Determined to control the destiny of his young business with as little outside help as possible, he developed an in-house team of writers and producers who worked and competed passionately, encouraging them to experiment with singers and songs to find the best match.
A tune which didn't suit one performer was tried out on another and, if necessary, another. Lyrics and melodies would be changed or modified; a backing track was saved for a future studio date. Lead vocals by one artist might be removed, and replaced by those of another. As Motown developed from three-track to eight-track recording in January 1965, the mixing and matching became easier. And as the company began to assemble albums to match the torrid success rate of its singles output, the depth of its songwriting talent became even more essential.
The epicenter of this activity was the Friday morning A&R meeting, held at the Motown headquarters on 2648 West Grand Boulevard, Detroit. Gordy's team — including Smokey Robinson, Eddie and Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier, Mickey Stevenson, Johnny Bristol, Norman Whitfield, Ivy Jo Hunter and Hank Cosby — would present their week's work on acetates, hoping to win the approval of the room.
Some producers would test their mettle on songs that had already been hits: change the groove, the tempo, the inflections. Anything to catch an ear, land a slot on an album, take another step closer to the A-Team. Others wanted the chance to work with a particular artist for the first time — or with an act new to the company — in order to strike up a hitmaking rapport.
There is another reason why Berry Gordy was able to consistently extract such innovation and excellence from his artists and producers: a studio band on tap and on top, 24 hours a day.
The Funk Brothers were a cadre of in-house musicians whose skill, instincts and adaptability were the precision tools of the Motown production line. James Jamerson (bass), Benny Benjamin, Uriel Jones and "Pistol" Allen (drums), Joe Hunter, Earl Van Dyke and Johnny Griffith (keyboards), Robert White, Joe Messina and Eddie Willis (guitars), Jack Ashford (vibes and percussion), James Gittins (vibes), Eddie "Bongo" Brown (congas/bongos) and others came to know instinctively what each producer wanted and needed, as did arrangers Paul Riser, David Van dePitte, Wade Marcus and Willie Shorter. Without the occupants of the "snake pit," as the recording studio was dubbed, Motown simply could not have sustained the quality and quantity of its output.
The world knows well the winners that the process produced. This collection is a chance to journey back to those Friday morning meetings – remember, be punctual or the door is locked – and to hear what was on those spinning acetates.
These recordings recall another truth of 2648 West Grand: that it was the artists of Motown who gave these songs the passion and depth required to make them the crown jewels of 20th century popular music. These are timeless copyrights, to be sure, but each was given resonance and longevity by the unique talents of Marvin, Martha, Diana, David, Gladys, and Stevie.
Of course, Berry was shrewd enough to seek additional insurance for his company's prime assets. From the beginning, he lectured the Motown roster on the virtues of versatility, schooling them to handle the work of such Tin Pan Alley magicians as Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart, and George Gershwin. He made sure that these American classics were part of his artists' stage repertoire, to guarantee their appeal to "adult" audiences at nightclubs in New York, Las Vegas, or London.
Gordy originally thought that long after "Money (That's What I Want)" and "The Way You Do The Things You Do" and "Stop! In The Name Of Love" had fallen off the Top 40, the Temptations, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye and all the other stars in his galaxy could depend on "Ol' Man River" and "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" to pull a crowd, to raise a cheer, to tap into the continuity of American culture.
The supreme irony of this approach is that the Motown songbook itself has become part of that continuity. "My Girl," "I Heard It Through The Grapevine," "Ooo Baby Baby" and many other West Grand treasures have now been absorbed into the world's permanent musical vocabulary.
For the man who began as a songwriter more than 45 revolutionary years ago, how sweet it surely is.

Q: EGL Display Handle Lifetime vs Static Object Lifetime I'm debugging a segfault-on-exit that I suspect comes to a recent change to our OpenGL-via-EGL off-screen rendering setup. Everything running on ubuntu with integrated intel graphics. The segfault only appears when OpenCV's highgui is included and used. This is probably only the canary in the coalmine so to speak, and the issue seems to stem from object lifetimes.
We have an EGLContext class that manages all things EGL. That means choosing a /dev/dri/xyz file handle for which device to use, and then getting a display handle. We use the extensions EGL_EXT_platform_base, EGL_EXT_platform_device, EGL_EXT_device_base, EGL_EXT_device_query and EGL_EXT_device_enumeration.
EGLDisplay Handle Lifetime
This EGLContext used to work fine, however since a recent optimization, it is owned by a static object, and thus destructed much later than before. In the destructor we call eglDestroyContext() and eglTerminate(), which both give back an EGL_BAD_DISPLAY error. Is there an inherent lifetime to these handles, that is shorter than that of static objects? Nowhere in our code do we destroy the display connection before this moment.
EGL_PLATFORM_DEVICE_EXT display handle
While debugging the above issue, I noticed that we get different display handles on each call to eglGetPlatformDisplayEXT(EGL_PLATFORM_DEVICE_EXT, devicedrm, display_attr). The extension docs state that

Multiple calls made to eglGetPlatformDisplayEXT with the same <platform> and <native_display> will return the same EGLDisplay handle.

Anyone knows what could be the cause of this? Am I missing something?

A: I found the answer to my problem. Here you go, future googler, if you stumble across the same issue.
Thanks to the docs, I found out about EGL_LOG_LEVEL. Setting this to debug showed me, that indeed, my display was being terminated while I still wanted to use it.
Googling led me to the mesa source, which showed me that an atexit callback of mesa was being called, which terminated my display.
As much as I was in disbelief, apparently mesa exits before our static object is destructed, which must mean that mesa is initialized after our static object. If our EGLContext were still a normal object, it would have been destructed long before the atexit callbacks. However, since it's now static, it is in direct "competition".
The solution I still have to implement, but it will either have something to do with initializing EGL much earlier, or with registering my own atexit call. Or something I can't think of yet...
Edit: Solution was to initialize our EGL things before the static object is constructed. Mesa registers its atexit handlers in a few functions, among them eglBindAPI and eglMakeCurrent

A Bedouin caravan traveling through the Negev desert stumbles onto the body of dying Mossad agent, Adnan Al Harirri, a momentous event that warns Western Intelligence about Chechen followers of the wayward cleric Abdul Rahman Abudaev being in possession of an MWMD, (Miniature Weapon of Mass Destruction), capable of creating enough phosgene gas to kill thousands of people in a relatively closed space.

2…………….> Trump Blame Extremist 'Outsiders' for George Floyd Protests Violence: Antifa
As both far right and far-left groups are blamed for violence at recent US anti-racism protests with escalating tensions, black protesters fear that they'll end up in the crossfire, with state and federal officials alleging that organized rioters have been attending protests against police brutality in several major cities with the specific goal of sparking violence and destruction.
President Trump and his administration have solely blamed left-wing extremists and Antifa for prompting violence at the protests:
Other Democrat run Cities and States should look at the total shutdown of Radical Left Anarchists in Minneapolis last night. The National Guard did a great job, and should be used in other States before it is too late!

The US has for nearly a week been seeing countrywide protests over the death of African-American man George Floyd at the hands of a police officer, forcing some even Democratic state governors to call in the National Guard to stop the looting, vandalism, and violence, action praised by President Trump, who encouraged the National Guard deployed not only in Minneapolis, but also across the United States.
POTUS pointed out the National Guard's efforts in shutting down the violent rallies allegedly led by the Antifa movement, whom the president labelled "anarchists", and suggested that other states should follow Minnesota's suit and crack down on the group "before it is too late".

4……………> COVID-19 Economic Crash: 54 Million Hungry Americans
Tens of millions of US citizens could starve this year due to the economic crash caused by a COVID-19, despite help provided by the US department of agriculture's $3 billion "Farmers to Families Food Box" program that has been delivering surplus perishable produce like milk, meat and vegetables to food banks and pantries, with food banks demand has risen exponentially, resulting in over 40 million unemployment benefit claims, leaving an estimated one in four children, or around 18 million, could need food aid this year – a 63 percent increase since 2018.
Feeding America estimates about 54 million Americans across the US could go hungry without help from food banks, food stamps and other aid – although food insecurity in the US was already in a critical state prior to the pandemic, with at least 37 million without consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. Food insecurity nationwide had only recently fallen to pre-Great Recession levels, with the southern US is projected to be worst-hit – over 11 million people residing in Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, New Mexico, Texas and Tennessee are to suffer food insecurity in 2020.

2…………> Ice Deports A Double Murderer To Belgium
A 58-year-old Belgian man who murdered both his parents in northern Virginia with a .22 caliber rifle in 1982 was removed to his home country Tuesday by officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).
Alain Paul DeCock was originally admitted to the United States as a non-immigrant in August 1981. In December 1982, the Fairfax County Police Department arrested DeCock for two counts of murder and using a firearm during the commission of a felony. That same month, the U.S. Department of State terminated his non-immigrant status. In March 1983, the Fairfax County Circuit Court convicted DeCock of the charges he faced, and he was sentenced to two life terms plus six years in prison. The former Immigration and Naturalization Service lodged a detainer with the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office in April 1983, and the following year, an immigration judge ordered DeCock's removal to Belgium.
In October 2010, ERO Washington lodged an updated immigration detainer with the Virginia Department of Corrections on DeCock. In November 2019, after he was granted parole, the Virginia Department of Corrections released DeCock to ERO Washington pursuant to the immigration detainer.
"Honoring detainers prevents public safety threats from being released into our communities," said Russell Hott, field office director for ERO Washington. "DeCock entered ICE custody pursuant to an immigration detainer lodged with the Virginia Department of Corrections years ago. That detainer enabled ICE to quickly and efficiently gain custody of DeCock and process him for removal."

3…………> An Act Of Madness: Iran Shoots Down Ukraine 737
An Ukraine airliner that crashed in Iran, killing all 176 people aboard, was most likely brought down accidentally by Iranian air defenses, as investigators are searching for possible Russian-made Tor missile debris, despite Iranian claims that the aircraft may have encountered mechanical problems.
US satellites had detected the launch of two missiles shortly before the plane crashed, followed by evidence of an explosion, with Washington experts believed the downing of the plane was accidental.
President Trump said the crash could have been a mistake, adding he had a terrible feeling about the downed airliner but offering no evidence.
"Somebody could have made a mistake," Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House, adding that he had suspicions about the crash but giving no other details.

The order by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court's ruling that stopped the funds being used while the case continues, as Trump-hating "Deep State" operators struggle to negate Mr. Trump's vow to "build a wall", a signature promise of his 2016 campaign.

"This egregious conduct is abhorrent to everything we hold dear and sacred as Americans.In these times we have to unify. We have to come together."
3…………> Antidrug Law: President Trump
"One year ago, I addressed the Nation in this very room and declared the opioid crisis a National Public Health Emergency," President Trump said today from the White House East Room.
"We are here to update the American people on the historical action we have taken and to sign landmark legislation to defeat the opioid epidemic." The President worked closely with Congress to advance the bipartisan SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act of 2018, the largest legislative package ever passed to address a single drug crisis in America. The law combines a number of crucial provisions, including requirements to help the U.S. Postal Service and border officials stop deadly fentanyl from entering the United States from China and Mexico.

4…………> More Package Bombs: De Niro, Biden & Co
A NYPD bomb squad removed a suspicious package from a Manhattan restaurant owned by actor Robert De Niro, following interception of two packages sent to former US vice-president Joe Biden.
A law enforcement source said the devices appeared to be linked to the others sent to Democratic figures and CNN's New York City hub. The package aimed at De Niro looked similar to the others and had a similar device inside, the source said. The NYPD says the device was taken from 375 Greenwich Street in the Tribeca neighborhood around 6:30 am (local time). A bomb squad unit drove in convoy through the city after leaving the neighborhood. None of the devices went off, and no injuries were reported, but some top Democrats have called the threats a symptom of a coarsening brand of political rhetoric promoted by President Donald Trump, who also condemned the acts.
