Beijing Pushing Taiwan and US Allies out of the Pacific Islands, Says Congressional Report
By Paul Huang
Paul Huang
June 17, 2018 Updated: June 18, 2018
The Chinese regime's increasing involvement in the Pacific Islands region is squeezing Taiwan's already limited international space while also posing security challenges to the United States and its allies Australia and New Zealand, a Congressional report says.
The Pacific Islands—a region in the vast Pacific Ocean that contains 14 countries, 7.7 million square miles of space, and the U.S. territories of Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam—tend to receive less attention among observers of the Asia-Pacific.
The People's Republic of China, however, is rapidly moving to establish a political, economic, and military presence across the region, particularly through its Belt and Road Initiative, a massive diplomatic and economic development policy designed to assert Beijing's strategic interests across the world.
A new report published by the congressionally mandated U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) says that Beijing's design for the Pacific Islands aims at reducing Taiwan's international space and gaining access to raw materials and natural resources.
Six of the 14 countries—Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, the Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu—have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. They are some of Taipei's few remaining diplomatic allies in the international arena who could formally speak on the island nation's behalf and support its participation in major international organizations.
Beijing is now using economic incentives as a tool to entice or coerce these countries to abandon Taiwan, the USCC report said. Palau, for example, has seen its important tourism industry hit hard after Beijing banned Chinese tour groups from visiting the country, following its hosting of Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in November 2017.
Taiwan is not the only one under threat. Australia and New Zealand, two other key U.S. partners in the Pacific that have extensive historical and current ties with the Pacific Islands, also see their presence there under threat as Beijing aggressively asserts its influence across the region.
"As Beijing increases its comprehensive engagement in the region, the United States and its allies and partners involved in the region—notably Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan—face increasing challenges in ensuring a free and open environment and preserving their interests," the report says.
The USCC cited an April 2018 report by the Sydney Morning Herald that alleges that a Chinese state-owned enterprise has approached the Pacific Islands nation of Vanuatu about building a Chinese military base there. The rumor was vehemently denied by both the Beijing and Vanuatu governments, but observers say the allegation is consistent with Beijing's ambition to extend the overseas force projection of its People's Liberation Army (PLA) onto the Pacific Islands region.
"Although the size or scope of a potential base in the Pacific Islands is unclear, it would serve several of China's security interests," the USCC report says. "It would provide the PLA with a strategic outpost beyond the Second Island Chain, expanding its force projection capabilities in the Western Pacific."

December 3, 2018 — 18:06
Lingfeng Capital, a Chinese private equity firm with a focus of investing China's on fintech, consumer finance and innovative technology, has reached the first closing of its debut fund at US$134.71 million, according to a SEC filing on November 29.
The new fund, named Lingfeng Capital Partners Fund I, LP, initially targeted to raise US$150 million when it kick-started the first sale on September 28.

The company backed Chinese fintech credit assessment solutions provider Wecash in its US$160 million series D round of financing in late March.
The company said that it also joined a RMB110 million (US$15.97 million) series A round of financing in artificial intelligence powered risk management platform IceKredit in October 2016. The round was led by venture capital firm China Creation Ventures.

Use what you got. Tomorrow too.
You seem on top of things concerning osx security but it is also hard for the average OSX user, like my self to do the things you describe. I have a suggestion. Could you not create an app that can check those suid on the entire machine and suggest changes for a safer use? Make it a shareware or donation ware. either way you will benefit and you will contribute to doing the mac community a service which obviously apple do not prioritize. Of such a program needs to be really simple to use and automatic( no user interaction needed) where possible.
Please get back to me if you think this is a good idea.
It's a good idea. That much is true. But we already have software to do this.
You can download a 'test drive' here.
All you have to do is remember to set the 'filter' in Xscan to 'Set User ID'. That's it. Then set your scan root for your root directory, kick back and relax.
> Please get back to me if you think this is a good idea.
It's got the bright blue metallic icon. Go to the 'filters' menu and select 'Set User ID' [or hit ⌘6].
Then click the magnifying glass on the toolbar and navigate to your /Applications directory. Later you'll perhaps want to try your /System directory but that seems all right for the moment - you want to concentrate on third party software right now.
Now kick back and relax. It should take but a few seconds. Xscan will find all 'SUID' files at your scan root [/Applications].
You can now select all and drag them over to a text window and work from there.
You can also use the leakd script included in the free CLIX download. The pertinent part is the following.
You need only copy out the third (last) line above and run it from the terminal. Redirect the output as you want for further use but as the script runs so fast anyway - and as it's another comprehensive 'Hacking Exposed' look at the classic Unix file system weaknesses - it's probably even better to run the entire script.
The ARDAgent security hole represents a serious system flaw. The flaw lies in the fact AppleScript is allowed to 'push' Unix commands through unwitting Cocoa/GUI-based apps which run the commands with their own privileges.
Four years ago someone started trying to alert Apple to the danger; they dismissed the alerts; now it turns out Apple themselves have contributed the danger.
The only vulnerable app on either Tiger or Leopard is currently ARDAgent and it doesn't seem to produce the (un)desirable results on Tiger.
The flaw isn't in ARDAgent - the flaw's in AppleScript and the way it's implemented in the system. Any third party software may end up opening a system the same way ARDAgent did - so it pays to be careful and to audit one's system regularly. And not just now - routine audits such as leakd are always good to perform on a regular basis.

Who is Nathan Murphy? (Viral Video) Wiki, Biography, Age, Family, Career, Net Worth, Many More Facts
Nathan Murphy Wiki – Nathan Murphy Biography
Middlesbrough woke up when Nathan Murphy from Northern Ormesby heard a chaos outside his home and mistakenly thought his 11-year-old niece was kidnapped
Naked Nathan Murphy woke up when he heard a commotion outside his home and was afraid of the worst.
Middlesbrough's 29-year-old action from Northern Ormesby acted so much on the fun of neighbors when it turned out to be a false alarm.
His family believed that they heard a screaming van screaming, yelling " mom ", thinking that he was 11-year-old Lucy Murphy.
Adrenaline-fueled Nathan was so panicked that he ran towards his father Michael Murphy's car to chase the white van and his legs fell under him trying to open the door.
Unannounced fear, however, turned into acute embarrassment when the indifferent Lucy walked to the front door and two-year-old Nathan, 29, had to mingle with her curious neighbors.
Retired masonry Michael, 64, has shared about 500,000 views on Facebook and funny CCTV images that have attracted over 14,000 likes, shares and comments on Facebook.
However, some commentators were puzzled by the reason why seeing a white van means everyone was kidnapped and questioned whether the family was 'paranoid'.
Nathan said: "I was asleep and all I heard was screaming when I woke up.
"I opened the window and thought someone was done or stabbed or something else.
"I jumped over the bed, tried to find my clothes and bought a T-shirt and flew down thinking it was just the bottoms.
"When I was in front of him, I heard 'kidnapping' and thought 'wow, this is serious'.
"I am a big lad, carrying 18, but I can move when I need it, and because the adrenaline runs through me, I have weakened and fallen on the legs.
"When someone entered, my father's car doors locked automatically, so I started screaming to get up and go in because I was naked and half the street was looking out.
"When I got into the car, I saw Lucy turning around the corner, so I went out and then the shame started.
"I felt stupid and I was thinking, 'I hope one of the mothers is not reporting to me,' because all his children saw my downstairs and I didn't want to register."
The confusion happened when Nathan's sister, full-time mother Natalie Murphy, believed to hear a 'mother' shot and screaming like my daughter Lucy when she stood near a van at 5.45.
CCTV footage shows her terrifying foursome mother 'crying and running on the road from this Lucy'.
Unemployed Nathan hears that he wants to know what's going on before accidentally grabbing the shirt instead of pants and leaping out of the car to chase.
After a completely naked faceplant, while daddy letting 40-year-old Natalie enter the car, yelling " here ", Lucy asks calmly walking over the park, asking what the fuss is about.
After seeing that her naked niece is safe, she rushes out of the car and rushes into the house to prevent curious looks from neighbors.
Relieved Natalie can be seen on her way home, carrying her two-year-old daughter Kalise Grange. Lucy laughs with 'the king and everything left out' and aunt 26-year-old aunt Demi Murphy.
Living a minute walk with Lucy, Kalise and nine-year-old Millie Murphy, Natalie said it was the 'worst nightmare of the mother', but in seconds she went to panic.
Natalie said: "There was someone who booted and discussed in the van, then I heard 'mam' and thought someone was taking it behind the van.
"My heart skipped a jump, it was very scary. I was shouting 'Lucy' and then he came to the corner and said, 'My mom, I thought something was happening to you.'
"Obviously this was a great relief, then I was walking back home and the next thing I know was naked outside of Nathan is naked.
"I couldn't stop laughing, but at least I know you're taking my back and I know it will be there for me.
"I asked him what he was doing if he really did, and he followed the van because he would be boxing naked with someone."
The Murphy family found the CCTV footage 'funny' when they watched it again after about 20 minutes, and Nathan now sees the funny side.
Nathan said: "When my dad said he had the video, I said 'no'.
"I watched the video and remember that I thought, 'Don't put this on Facebook, everyone will see.'
"But then with everything going on, I saw his big picture and thought it would be a good laugh and a little joke for people."
Michael's Facebook post said: "I know I shouldn't laugh. We thought one of the grandchildren was kidnapped in a white van at the bottom of our way.
"Watch out for Nathan running naked. We moan at him. I know this can be serious."
Facebook users filled the video with comments sharing how funny they found the clip when they realized there was a false alarm.
Emma Rankin wrote: "Well, my God, I can't stop laughing, he didn't even put his clothes in the car, he pulled out the car I cried."
Danielle Mayall commented: "Hahaha ffs, I don't even know you, but I literally laughed at this and cried.
"If I thought that one of my kids was dragged into a van, I would do the same thing, but that was the way of his smile by telling someone to laugh. I can't cope."

Tag Away is a well admired and an all natural resolution for removing skin tags in the home. Seeing as Tag Away is only composed of plant extracts one does not have to be worried about harmful results from Tag Away use. The Thuja Occidentalis plant extracts contained inside Tag Away safely dry up the skin tag till it's actually starved and falls away. A user of Tag Away need simply put on the product a few times each day(by means of a cotton swab) and the skin tag will be gone inside 3 to 8 weeks. Amazingly, the Tag Away product is able to naturally achieve skjin tag removal with out dealing out pain on its user nor leaving scarring behind when the skin tag has been eliminated.
Every Tag Away purchase is included with enough product to perform 60 uses. This quantity of product is definitely sufficient to determine its usefulness in eradicating skin tags. It is a very important side in the ordering process for the reason that Tag Away product is joined with a thirty day warranty and if for any reason it proves inneffective the buyer is able to return the unused portion for a whole refund.
The current mass appeal for the Tag Away product is most certainly attributable to its means to cheaply eliminate skin tags with ease and discreetly. In contrast, other competing home skin tag removal products are joined with a beefy price tag and do not offer a refund. Obviously, one other option to removing skin tags is thru visiting a medical practitioner and having them surgically removed however, sadly, this strategy winds up being bothersome and more pricey than the topical treatment supplied by Tag Away. By utilizing Tag Away, skin tag sufferers are in a position to at long last(not to point out discreetly) eliminate the curse of ugly skin tags inside their lives. Moreover, customers are able to have the satisfaction of using a product that features awesome buyer opinions and ensures results instead of gambling away their money on uncertainty.
Obviously, among the biggest promoting benefits of Tag Away is its capacity to deliver success without incorporating invasive strategies- including, freezing, burning or surgery. An individual has to simply apply the topical remedy onto their skin tag- regardless of where it is located on the body because its non irritating nature makes it safe for sensitive body parts as well. Unless you are a masochist, the ability to get rid of skin tags without suffering with discomfort within the process or being riddled with scarring once they are gone is a definite vote in favor of the product.
There isn't any question as as to if Tag Away is efficient at removing skin tags as the information and evaluations plainly speak to its ability in doing so. With that stated, one utilizing Tag Away should expect to come across a longer removal process than the more invasive counterpart skin tag removing techniques. Not surprisingly, many individuals are not deterred by this factor because they prefer the comfort, discreetness and pain free features that a home skin tag elimination product offers. Evidently, if a person is searching for a quick elimination technique they will need to resort to a more invasive skin tag removing method- including freezing, burning or surgical removal.
At the moment, an individual can buy Tag Away on the web and acquire an amazing deal on the product since there is a purchase one get one free offer being extended to all web based Tag Away purchases. This first rate promotion allows the consumer to receive the greatest bang for their buck and ensures that there will likely be sufficient product to eliminate numerous skin tags. Due to this feature, it is extremely advised that if a person is seriously considering a Tag Away purchase they do so before this limited time promotion expires and the 2-for-1 offer reverts again to a normal sale.


We managed to squeeze screen printing, heat transfre, stamping AND a bit of stitching into one busy day!
A group of 9-14 year olds spent a day exploring print techniques, including lino, foam and monoprint. I asked them to imagine a place, and think of all the tracks that pass that spot across the years ... and to make those prints. We built up our layers of printed tissue paper into these pieces. Here, from top to bottom, are the works of Felix, Louisa and Tianna.
Another moment from the Knitting and Stitching Show. This Woodland Boudoir was created by a group of textile artists and was a delightful and inspiring shift from the many stalls where selling was their business.
A little reminiscence into the imaginary fairy worlds of my childhood, I think!
Some of my favourite work here was by Yulia Badian, but many artists took part, and the piece that most caught my eye was actually the wallpaper, for whom I couldn't identify the artist!
My Make and Create group have been experimenting with silk painting.
It's been an amazing few weeks, as everybody found their own unique style and form for playing with this free-flowing medium.
Here we have, from top to bottom, the work of Valerie, Fi, Barbara and Katie.
At the recent Knitting and Stitching Show, perhaps my greatest excitement and inspiration was a wall of felt pieces forming part of the International Feltmakers Association display. Having pondered the possibilities of felt for my next textile book, I am now desperate to get going on it!

As I watched my Art Club paint the objects they had made, I realised how much they preferred to play safe with colours, using colours as they came and not bothering to mix. So the next week I took a picture of two tigers from the exhibition, chopped it up and gave them a section each to draw and then paint. Pretty challenging for 5 - 10 year olds, but they embraced it!

Being away on vacation and enjoying lots of yummy food and new restaurants, it's made us aware of how important it is to connect our guests with the dining experience that will complete our guest's stay and make their Cape Cod holiday a memory of a lifetime.
On our southern vacation this year we rented two wonderful beach homes and because we are at the age when we have to watch what we eat, we have eaten most of our meals in-BUT- we have treated ourselves to a couple of meals out a week, and I have spent time on Trip Adviser sourcing out the perfect place to dine for what we were in the mood for that day. Some nights we wanted super casual and to watch the sunset, other nights we wanted casual fine dining that was romantic and special. It's those restaurant that I want to source out for you in this blog so that you can enjoy not only great food but a romantic experience too! A springtime visit to Cape Cod may also include some great dining values as our Cape Cod Restaurant Week is coming up on May 29th – June 4th. The web site will soon be updated with all the the restaurants included in the springtime food celebration- many of our favorites join in!
Because just about everything on Cape Cod is casual, when guests ask us what attire to wear, most of the restaurants we recommend are business casual.

If you are celebrating a special birthday or anniversary and want to get dressed up, we also have the perfect place for you, and in most instances it's the same restaurants as you can dress up or down and feel very comfortable either way.

Whenever our children visit they always want to go to Bucas! We understand why as this restaurant is special! The menu is Northern Italian with lots of seafood and Italian wine choices. The only complaint we ever hear is that they give you too large portions:) The atmosphere is very romantic and a perfect place to go for a special anniversary or birthday. We have a favorite table- the CFI table as it's been known to be called, and it is in front of the fire place and is so romantic. We love to make your reservations in advance as they are filled almost every evening of the year. If you call yourselves Martin will most surely answer the phone and make sure to ask for our favorite table.
This restaurant has both the ocean views and delicious cuisine. They do Open Table and fill up sometimes months in advance. The food is New American with an Oriental infusion. The presentations are over the top and we have never had a bad meal here. Only complaint we ever hear about is the noise level.
This restaurant is an icon in Brewster. Rated in the "top 50" by Zagat, "this unassuming cottage garners raves for its outstanding contemporary menu." They do not accept reservations and will not make any changes to the existing menu. For those with a hearty appetite the portions can be somewhat small.
This French restaurant in Wellfleet is the perfect place to go for a romantic evening. You can see the formal chefs though a glass window with their tall chef hats. Everything French including a perfectly cooked roasted chicken and fabulous desserts. In the summer time there is a covered outdoor dining area and in the winter a fire pit to warm by until your table is ready. Reservations suggested.
If you are looking for a little adventure and do not mind an hour drive to and fro- the Mews is really fun. It has water views and is located on the fun Commercial Street in P'Town. They specialize in having 100's of different kinds of vodka and the food consistently delicious. A popular spot so reservations are needed.
Vers, meaning "fresh" in Dutch, is a vibrant and casually elegant restaurant, perfect for a special occaision, offering a modern American menu that embraces regional seasonality and freshness. We went for my birthday with our daughter and had a wonderful evening. Their Death by Chocolate is a wonderful treat for dessert.
We love this restaurant as their food is unique and very flavorful. The formal description of their food is Mediterranean with a Thai infusion. I love their Lobster Shrimp Pad Thai. Reservations needed. Try the Malabi and black rice pudding for dessert- it's outstanding.
If you enjoy adventuresome dining this restaurant is for you. We love to go for special occasions and later see a play at the Wellfleet Playhouse which is close bye. The building is quite unique and has rustic brick-walls in a former blacksmith shop. Reservations needed.

An Interview with Instrument Maker and Restorer Robb Stewart
by Sabine K. Klaus
Photos by Bobby Yeo and Mark Olencki
The following interview is based on a visit with Robb Stewart in his workshop and home in Arcadia, California, in May 2005, and some emails in the fall of 2006. Robb is one of the foremost brass instrument makers, restorers and dealers of vintage instruments in the United States. If you have a vintage brass instrument that needs repair or restoration, Robb is the person to go. His expertise will help you assess or date your instruments, and his meticulous work is rarely found elsewhere.
Sabine Klaus: When I visited your workshop in beautiful Arcadia, California with a group of cornet-enthusiasts in May 2005, I immediately realized that they all couldn't do without you. Their vintage horns simply wouldn't play like they do, if they hadn't gone through your hands. All these cornet players and collectors are incredibly grateful for your work. They would show you their instruments and seek advice on what to do with leaks or stuck valves, how to get the dents out of a bell, and how to transform a battered old horn into a beautiful great player again. How did you become the leading expert and restorer in 19th and 20th vintage brass instruments in the US?
Robb Stewart: I had interest in old and unusual brass instruments early on. I would look for books on musical instrument in the library and go through the big books of patents looking for brass instruments as well as cars and airplanes.
SK: Where did you grow up and go to school?
RS: I was born in Chicago and grew up mostly in rural northern Illinois. I started playing the cornet in the 5th grade band. I continued playing in the school bands all through school and became very serious about being a trumpet player, although I never had any private lessons. Moving to California and playing in several honor bands and orchestras opened my eyes to what a long way I had to go to become a good player. While a senior in high school (1976), I started attending a repair class set up at Fullerton High School. The teacher, Don Heaston, got me a job at Bartold Music in Woodland Hills CA in 1977. Norm Bartold was quite a character and had a large collection of antique instruments hanging in his shop. I would occasionally work on these and Norm suggested that I reassemble used parts to appear as some of these antiques to be sold as replicas. I worked there for two years and started my own business in 1979. Norm continued to encourage me to make instruments and by 1981, I had enough new parts around to make a replica over the shoulder Eb cornet. Word of this got out and I sold this to the 11th North Carolina Regimental Band. They asked me to make an Eb tuba next.
SK: How did you go about setting up your own workshop?
RS: Norm Bartold was closing his shop and I needed a job. I set up a shop in a two-car garage and continued to get work from many of the same customers. Larry Minick, who was the best repairman in town at the time, would send customers to me that he didn't have time for. More importantly, Larry was always willing to give advice and scold me when I really messed up.
SK: How do you develop your models?
RS: I tooled up to make Eb keyed bugles in 1983 which involved making the bells and keys in my shop. I now make Bb keyed bugles as well and have made them in copper, nickel silver and Sterling Silver. I have improved my instruments over the years and have made over 250 to date. I have made many different designs that customers have asked for, including cornets with bells forward, upright, over the shoulder and circular. Also ophicleides in C soprano to Eb contrabass, "English" bass horns, an orchestral F trumpet, post horns, coach horns and English hunting horns in Sterling Silver. This has always been an adjunct to the more profitable repair business and I have always had call for customizing modern instruments as well. Some of my favorites are double tubas in F and CC for Tommy Johnson and the Fluba (flugelhorn shaped tuba) and Selfphone (baby sousaphone in F) for Jim Self. As much as Los Angeles is an entertainment capitol, there are not enough professional brass instrument players to keep a repair shop busy full time.
SK: When you make vintage instruments how faithful are your copies? Do you copy the original in every detail, including possible design flaws, or do you make some sensible changes and "improve" the original somewhat?
RS: I copy the originals as closely as it is practical to do. I have rotary valves made to my size specifications, but I can't make exact copies and still be able to sell them for a profit. I recently made a copy of a Graves circular Eb cornet as an exercise in getting as close to the original as possible and to have an example in my collection. If I were making this for a customer, I would have to charge more than double what I normally charge for a cornet. I don't see any need for improvement of the best instruments made 150 years ago and I wish that I could make mine exactly like them. Original keyed brass instruments vary to a surprising degree and I believe that I have been fairly successful in getting mine to play as well as some of the better originals.
SK: Have you ever gotten a commission from a composer to develop a new instrument, say in the way Richard Wagner influenced the brass design of his time?
RS: My biggest passion has always been history of brass instrument makers and restoring and preserving antique brass instruments. I find it the most satisfying work and I believe that it is my greatest strength. I feel that it is very important to reproduce missing parts to appear exactly like the original. When a part looks wrong or the instrument has other sloppy workmanship like parts mounted wrongly, this becomes the focus of the instrument, rather than the beauty of the design or the historical importance.
SK: In the Joe and Joella Utley Collection we have both, new instruments made by you and historic ones which you repaired and restored. I have been impressed by the high standard of workmanship of both. When you replace a part it is hard to distinguish it from the original just by looking at it. However, you do something that I have appreciated very much; you stamp the new part with your initials. How did you get acquainted with common conservation practices that preserve an instrument not only in its playing qualities, but also as a historical document?
RS: I have worked for several museums, but mostly for individual players and collectors. I have learned some things from museum people, but preservation is mostly common sense. I try to make good judgments regarding historical importance of particular instruments and how to deal with a damaged or missing part. There has been a growing interest in history during my whole career and in the last five to ten years the interest in 19th century brass instruments is booming.
SK: I was amazed seeing your home. You and your family live in a museum, which you created yourself. How did this come about?
RS: In 1986 Nancy and I really wanted a beautiful old Crafstman style house and Monrovia was more affordable than most of Southern California. We couldn't afford anything really nice, so we bought the neighborhood eyesore and spent the next twelve years fixing and restoring it. It was the same with furniture. We bought a few nice pieces but prices were escalating and I found that I could better furnish the house if I built exactly what we wanted.

SK: When we visited, we all got a ride around the block in your beautifully restored 1912 Hupmobile. Is this hobby related to your interest in brass instruments?
RS: It's the same fascination with industrial history. I could make a hobby of any old mechanical object and its history. I've had a passion for old cars since I was a child and it's safe to say that I'll never be able to afford to get into antique airplanes! The next time that you visit, I hope to have the EMF (restoration project car) ready to take a spin.
SK: Present day 19th and early-20th-century brass music revival in the United States owes you much. Many of the vintage bands couldn't play without your work. How does it feel to occupy such a key role in this revival movement?
RS: I do feel very fortunate to be able to make a living while at the same time creating something. Even though the restoration projects are the creation of craftsmen more than 100 years ago, I feel that they are now a part of my legacy as I am part of theirs. In most cases these instruments will receive better care in the coming centuries than they have had in the last one. I try to educate my customers in the importance of preserving history rather than just hoarding trinkets. In the future there will be fewer historically important instruments damaged for the sake of display.

5 Minutes That Will Make You Love the Trumpet
The online edition of the NY Times has been running a series of articles exploring the beauty of many different types of music and instruments with short blurbs by leading composers, writers and musicians. The latest in this series is on the trumpet and accompanied by short audio clips. Among the excerpts chosen were the "Itrada" by Honegger played by Hakan Hardenberger, Terrence Blanchard chose his own performance of his "Funeral Dirge". Louis Armstrong would, of course be on the list and he was chosen twice. A NY Times writer chose a 1947 recording of "Dear Old Southland" rather than the famous virtuosic recordings from the late 1920s and early 1930s. The second selection was Armstrong's 1929 recording of "Black and Blue." Joan Tower chose her own composition "Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman, No. 5" performed by the American Brass Quintet. Trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith chose Miles Davis's "Calyspso Frelimo". The Post Horn solo from Mahler's 3rd played by John Ware with Bernstein conducting the NY Philharmonic was another great choice. Perhaps a surprising vote was "I had the Craziest Dream" played by Kenny Dorham. No list of great trumpet music could be without "The Trumpet Shall Sound" from the Messiah and the recording selected was by Dunedin Consort with Chris Dicken doing the honors. The conductor Leonard Slatkin chose "Bugler's Dream" by Leo Arnaud, a piece that was commissioned by Felix Slatkin. This piece has gained universal acclaim as "The Olympic Fanfare." Two more surprising choices were Witness" as performed by Ron Miles and Johnny Coles playing Sunken Treasure" by Gil Evan. A transcription of an oboe concert by Marcello as interpreted by Tine Thing Helseth on piccolo trumpet was on the list. Susan Slaughter's recording of "A Trumpeter's Lullaby" was next and the last selection was Markus Stockhausen's performance of his father's "Michaels Reise um die Erde".
Now, if you don't end up loving the trumpet after hearing those wonderful recording, well, ... I just don't know.

Banning 59 Apps sets a concerning precedent. A detailed statement and initial action. #WhatTheBlock
Two days ago, the Government of India banned 59 mobile apps. The reasons for this include national security and protection of user privacy and security. This sets a concerning precedent and may be a singular action of web censorship that has impacted more people India than ever before. In this post, we, through our statement, indicate areas of concerns around the legality of the process and also indicate how, by filing Right to Information requests, we are hoping for greater public disclosure.
A concerning act of web censorship
On June 29, through a press release the Government of India acting through the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MEITY) banned 59 smartphone applications. To provide clarity from the perspective of digital rights of users we published an initial statement linked below.
We are substantiating this initial statement with a detailed analysis which indicates several concerns on the legality of the blocking process. To achieve further clarity and transparency we have also yesterday morning filed several right to information requests.
The detailed statement follows below:
As firm believers in the Constitution of India our mission is to ensure that technology should further the goals set out in the preamble. These goals cannot be achieved if the integrity and the security of India is compromised. To safeguard them our republic prescribes clear means and measures that are premised on a democratic framework. The hallmark of this are our fundamental rights.
In one of the most significant cases concerning the interaction of these fundamental rights with digital technologies, hearing a challenge against Section 66A of the Information Technology Act, 2000 the Supreme Court also had occasion to examine the power of the Government to issue directions to block web services. This power contained under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000 contains the power to issue directions for blocking along with its grounds in it's first sub-section. The second-subsection to Section 69A contains a requirement to establish a process and safeguards under which the IT Blocking Rules, 2009 have been made.
This power has been purportedly been exercised by the Ministry of Electronics and IT on June 29, 2020 which has been publicly disclosed through a press release through the Press Information Bureau (PIB). This press release indicates distinct grounds under which 59 smartphone applications have been blocked that are contained under in an Annexure. The release contains references to threats to the security, integrity of India and public order of an "emergent nature" for which the direction to block these web services are "emergency measures". The further basis of this direction to block is premised on purported complaints including a recommendation from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Committee, Ministry of Home Affairs and complaints received by CERT-In. Further references are made to debates and comments made in Parliament.
While acknowledging the real harm which occurs to the privacy and security of users due to the unregulated expropriation of their personal data we are also concerned with a restriction of their right to receive information and use such services. As per our reading of Section 69A it does not extend to directions for blocking smartphone applications but individual pieces of information and content. We are particularly concerned with the legal process which has been initiated for these directions given they do not contain any available technical analysis against any specific application prior to the media release on the direction for blocking. This sets a worrying precedent and tremendous expansion of the power to block web services in India.
There seems to be any pre-decisional hearing which has been afforded to any of these 59 web-services and given they have been accessible for a long period of time a regular process in which they were afforded a hearing would be naturally expected. Such "emergent circumstances" even when they did emerge do not specifically indicate any technical assessments conducted by CERT-In and do not also clearly indicate whether they are linked to recent border tensions caused due to China given there is a natural inference that many of these web services are of Chinese origin or control.
The press release is a drastic step and expansion in the practice of website blocking. It presents risk of setting a precedent that will undermine the digital rights of Indian internet users. Such directions are in deviation from the rule of law framework under the provisions of the Information Technology Act and the judgement of the Supreme Court as adverted above. In view of the above we call on the Government of India to publish the legal order (not a media release) and make proper disclosures. We further urge that specific regulatory instruments such as the Data Protection Bill to safeguard individual privacy must be advanced. Further if action is needed due to security reasons in examining foreign control made in core sectors such as technology and telecoms then appropriate policy conversations may be initiated. Here non-compliance can be penalised in an objective and evidence based manner with a clear legal standard that may include fines and directions to abstain from illegal conduct.
We caution against the expansion of the power to block web-services. This is bad for users, innovation, the larger technology ecosystem of India. We urge the Government to reconsider this dangerous step which sets a worrying precedent for digital rights.
In view of this statement and to seek further transparency we have initiated steps commencing with the filing of Right to Information Requests with several government departments.
Right to Information requests filed by IFF
Yesterday morning, we filed Right to Information requests with multiple authorities in the hopes of bringing transparency and accountability to the process through which this ban is being implemented. Requests have been filed with the Ministry of Electronic & Information Technology (MeitY) through its Department of Electronics & Information Technology (DeitY) and Department of Telecommunication (DoT). We have also filed a separate request with the DeitY for obtaining information from the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) which operates under the department. Lastly we have filed a request with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to obtain information about their involvement in the ban. Below we have provided insight into each of these requests.
A. Right to Information requests with MeitY
i. With DeitY and DoT on the ban
In our requests dated June 30, 2020 with Ref. No.s DITEC/R/E/20/00519 (DeitY) and DOTEL/R/E/20/00577 (DoT), we asked these two authorities to provide us with copies of the actual order issued by MeitY banning these applications, since currently we only have a press release and not the actual order. Obtaining the order is crucial since it contains the reasons for the ban which are important when we try to assess the legality and validity of the ban. We also asked them whether the process which is stated under S.69A of the IT Act and the Blocking Rules, 2009 for blocking of websites was followed in the implementation of this ban. This process includes giving notice, having a hearing and providing a reasoned order for blocking.
RTI Ref. No. DITEC/R/E/20/00519 filed with DeitY dated 30.6.2020
In the press release, it is stated that the blocking was being done because MeitY had "received many complaints various sources including several reports about misuse of some mobile apps available on Android and iOS platforms for stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users' data in an unauthorized manner to servers which have locations outside India." In our request, we asked them to provide us copies of these complaints. Additionally, we asked them whether they had carried out any objective assessments on the privacy impact of these applications and to provide us with a copy of the reports of these assessments if they had been carried out.
RTI Ref. No. DOTEL/R/E/20/00577 filed with DoT dated 30.6.2020
ii. With DeitY for obtaining information from CERT-IN
In our request dated June 30, 2020 with Ref. No. DITEC/R/E/20/00521, we asked DeitY to provide us with information about the role played by CERT-IN in the implementation of the ban. According to the press release, CERT-IN "has also received many representations from citizens regarding security of data and breach of privacy impacting upon public order issues". Thus, we asked them to provide us with a copy of all the representations that they have received which flag such concerns about the blocked applications. Additionally, we asked them to provide us with the minutes of the any meetings that they held wherein this issue was discussed as a measure of increasing transparency and accountability. Finally, we asked them whether CERT-IN had carried out any objective assessments on the privacy impact of these applications and to provide us with a copy of the reports of these assessments if they had been carried out.
B. Right to Information Requests with MHA
In our request dated June 30, 2020 with Ref. No. MHOME/R/E/20/03251, we asked MHA to provide us with a copy of all the representations that they had received which were "raising concerns from citizens regarding security of data and risk to privacy relating to operation of certain apps" as stated in the press release. It was also stated in the press release that the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), which operates under the MHA, had "sent an exhaustive recommendation for blocking these malicious apps". We asked them to provide us with a copy of this recommendation as it would help us in assessing the reasons behind the ban.
We also asked them to provide us with the minutes of the any meetings that I4C held wherein this issue was discussed. Additionally, we asked them whether I4C had carried out any objective assessments on the privacy impact of these applications and to provide us with a copy of the reports of these assessments if they had been carried out. Finally, we asked them to provide us with a copy of all the correspondence which took place between the MHA and MeitY with regard to the ban.

Homecasting May Replace Traditional Television
By: Salma
The term "homecasting" may sound a little bit foreign to most of us. But, without us realizing it, the practice of homecasting has been here for quite some time and may challenge the existence of traditional television. UGM Communication Studies lecturer, Budi Irawanto, explained that, unlike conventional broadcasting that took place in a studio, homecasting was carried out at home and used online video platforms such as YouTube to distribute or share the content. People could choose whether to broadcast it live (live streaming) or record it first and later upload it.
"Youtube is indeed interesting. Many TV hosts now have their own YouTube channels and actively broadcast their videos on YouTube," said Budi in the Communication Studies' very own podcast called Origami, Saturday (1/5).
Prior to the homecasting phenomenon, narrowcasting or community TV broadcasting once haunted the future of television. Yet, as it evolves, homecasting is now cited as the biggest threat to TV media so far. Although television remains the most accessed by the public until now, there is no guarantee it is irreplaceable and can survive in the coming years.
According to Budi, homecasting has several advantages. First, it costs a lot cheaper than TV production. Homecasting requires only small crews, namely for video editing, sound, and camera. It also has an element of flexibility in terms of places where the YouTubers want to shoot their video. Anywhere can be their studio, for instance, the pool, garden, or dining table. The guests usually are also friends of the YouTubers themselves.
"Studio production needs many crews, such as lighting, and so on. (Hence it is more expensive)," added Budi.
He also said that homecasting content usually was close to the audience. TV broadcasters had similar programs such as reality show and the likes, but homecasting provided a higher level of intimacy.
"We are aware that TV stations are now trying to make use of YouTube too. Some of their programs are live-streamed and uploaded on YouTube. But the format is still different. Homecasting feels more intimate and close as the hosts can greet their followers and subscribers," said Budi.

The Silos, a Raglan waterfront landmark that is one of New Zealand's most distinctive homes is for sale.
Described as a trophy property like no other in New Zealand, 88 Wallis Street comprises two cement silos on the Raglan Wharf. Disused after the Port of Raglan officially closed in 1981, over the past 10 years, they have been converted into a luxury home, plus four additional upscale apartments operating as a successful holiday accommodation business.
Richard Thomson of PGG Wrightson Real Estate, Hamilton is marketing the property on behalf of Rob Galloway and Marie de Jong, who have owned The Silos since 1993 and began converting the building into apartments in around 2002.
"This is an amazing building that has been developed for its present use with outstanding vision, great care and huge creativity. When they were decommissioned in the late 1970s, The Silos' solid steel and concrete construction was deemed impossible to demolish. Initially used by Rob and Marie as the workshop for their leather business, Soul Shoes, they have since repurposed and refurbished the buildings into an inventive and distinctive symbol of Raglan.
"Built in 1964 by the Golden Bay Cement Company, The Silos' original use was storage for cement. Two concrete cylinders, 12 metres and 20 metres in height, they were used to take cement off ships from Nelson for distribution throughout the Waikato.
"Apart from The Silos' main three-bedroom apartment, which is approximately 185m2 and is home to Rob and Marie, the other four apartments are a thriving holiday accommodation business. Each around 70m2 and looking out over Raglan Harbour including amazing views of water, bush, baches and boats, these are finished to a high standard with a mixture of polished timber and polished concrete floors plus their own private decks or courtyards," he said.
Rob Galloway said the couple's plans for the buildings emerged after they built the first apartment in around 2002.
"We liked the idea of living in it and plans developed from there, with the accommodation business shaping as the option that suited us and the building the best.
"When the larger silo was built, it was capable of taking 2500 tonnes of cement and it is extremely strong so poses no engineering problems and, now it is empty, you can do whatever you like with it. Through the redevelopment, the Waikato District Council has been supportive and motivated to help us create something special. We looked at various options including residential and commercial office space. Those should remain viable for a new owner and The Silos still has room for another four apartments plus office or retail space.
"It is an absolutely unique place and we will be sad to move on but it is time to let someone else have a go and develop The Silos to the next level," he said.
Richard Thomson said The Silos is a well-known and cherished part of the town.
"Orca swim past The Silos a couple of times a year, cleaning up the harbour's stingrays. You almost feel like you could touch them out of the window.
"Although originally a pair of stubby industrial concrete cylinders, The Silos is now a treasured asset to Raglan. Refurbished to beautiful proportions, while similar in some respects to a lighthouse or the deck of a ship, the building has developed its own style and unique history, which is now waiting to be burnished by a new owner," he said.
Located adjacent to cafes, restaurants, shopping clustered around the Raglan Wharf and near to the town centre, The Silos are on Raglan Harbour Board lease land with a 21 year perpetually renewable term.
The Silos are for sale by auction, scheduled to go under the hammer at 11 am on Wednesday, 11 May, at PGG Wrightson Real Estate's Cambridge auction room.
Rob Galloway and Marie de Jong have bought a conventional house in Raglan and plan to spend more time sailing.
