Indiscriminate Devotion
Joburg Jumble
Posted on February 26, 2013 By KarinSchimke
I spent last week in Joburg – and the weekend in Pretoria – for work. I grew up in the latter, and worked for two years in the former, just after democracy came to South Africa. Oddly, I haven't been back to Joburg – except to pass through Oliver Tambo International Airport – for…well, actually, I can't work it out, but I think maybe not since 1998. Can that be?
Joburg is big, loud, green, mad, garish, gorgeous and exciting. And Joburgers are fabulous. I am always wary of generalisations – especially those that seem to repeat a received wisdom – but I only had warm, funny, strong, intelligent interactions with the people I met.
Joburgers rock. They mix. They know. They do. They go.
Every night I dreamt the day's happenings in mix of languages, in day-glo, in slow-mo, in detail. My brain was hyper-sponge, sucking in by day, squeezing out images in a steady stream by night.
Soon as I get time I'm going to post about some of my bookie experiences Jozi.
QUICK REVIEW: Mr Phillips
Distinctly odd, sometimes boring, but punctuated by moments of what can only be described as naïve profundity, Mr Phillips did not make me laugh as much as puzzle, in spite of the enthusiastic cover shouts by important literary types.
Mr Phillips is a very dreary man, underlined – or perhaps parodied – by the fact that he is an accountant. Or was. He's been retrenched and he doesn't know how to tell his wife. So he goes "to work" spending the day walking through London with a kind of mental erection leading him around. Truly, this man thinks of sex incessantly, stopping sometimes only to make vast, complicated mental computations – as befits, one supposes, boring accountants. These two rambling weeds of inner conversation are interchangably boring and weird.
There is great cinematic appeal in his progress through London's streets, but there is no climax or resolution. It's a very strange story. – Karin Schimke

REVIEW: The Art Book
The Art Book
If you'd like to skip the yadi-yada to get to what the book's about, I have kept the editorialising in black and have highlighted the useful bits in purple.
"Art", like "poetry", can be such a forbidding concept.
Those of us who do not practise it – apart, perhaps from part-time aesthetic experiments in lino-cutting, cake-decorating, wood turning or sock knitting, which, however tangentially, might be related to "making art" in the sense that they are creative endeavours – feel that a certain academic ignorance bars our entry into such elevated and hallowed ground as discursions into art and its meaning.
A passage from John Lanchester's latest novel Mr Phillips plumbs this insecurity blithely when the protagonist wonders into The Tate Gallery.
"As always when he goes to a museum his impetus runs out very quickly once he has got inside. He has a feeling that he is looking for something that is not there, and what is worse, that everyone else is too. Or that they know something which he doesn't. Or that there are a set of feelings he is supposed to have in the presence of art but which in his case are simply absent."
I have felt that. And a sudden, inexplicable fatigue which seems to be related to some rising feeling that I simply don't know enough to "get it".
This stands in stark contrast to my private experience of art. I have, over years, managed to collect quite a substantial little art library and a small collection of paintings by local artists. I can say little about technique or context or meaning and I seldom know much more about the artist than the shape of their scribble on the painting. But – and this is where the art *fundis will throw down the newspaper in disgust – I like looking at pictures.
Yes. It's that simplistic. Some pictures mean something to me for reasons I don't fully grasp. And since I can't afford that many, I like having books on art. Some pictures make no impression at all and I sometimes "see" them for the first time years later, as though a page had been surreptitiously inserted. Others I linger on. Others make me laugh. Or I shake my head at them.
In the novel I mentioned above, Mr Phillips goes on to name three paintings he sees at the Tate, and his thoughts and feelings about them are reflected in the narrative. His reactions are perhaps naïve – yet sometimes oddly profound – but he has them. And that is why people make art and other people look at it. It is, in essence, a reflective endeavour.
That art is also academic and can be analysed and written about – particularly in that highfalutin gobbledygook you come across in gallery pamphlets – is almost beside the point. Art is about seeing and about response. When I am told what I should be feeling about a work of art – something the high, grand walls and ceilings of museums seem to be doing too, albeit in a tacit way – then I become anxious and lose whatever connection exists between me and a work of art.
The Art Book, weighing in at four hefty kilograms, completely cuts me off from "expected responses" and the concomitant anxiety it causes. It's just me, my cup of tea and pages upon pages of art. Five hundred and seventy six representations of works of art, and absolutely none of the usual organisational methods usually brought to bear in art books. There's no section on Expressionism, Dadaism, Gothic or Rococo. No focus on landscape, or portrait or still life. The lens takes in almost every medium and every era – in the oddest way: by organising the representations using the surname of the artist. That means that on one left hand page you have four photographs of a man pushing an enormous melting block of ice across Mexico City (the work is called "Paradox of Praxis 1 – Sometimes Doing Something Leads to Nothing" by Francis Alÿs), while on the other you have a representation of an enormous oil on canvas by Jacopo Amigoni called "Juno Receives the Head of Argus". This idiosyncratic arrangement means that every page is a surprise. Each picture of works by painters, photographers and sculptors is accompanied by a short text about the piece and about the artist. All of this is cross-referenced and there's a really useful, no-nonsense glossary of technical terms and artistic movements included at the back of the book. I imagine that if your approach to art is deeper, more analytical and more organised than mine, you will find this disturbing. But I can't quite imagine a person who would find no joy at all in this book, and I particularly recommend it for households with children. It's like having a museum in your house.
In an essay entitled "Embodied Visions: What does it mean to look at a work of art?" the New York writer Siri Hustvedt notes that art exists because humans have been endowed with "reflective self-consciousness". In other words, "we are able to represent ourselves to ourselves and muse about our own beings". Art has no purpose other than to be looked at and thought about. She says that it is not a tool; that we can't eat with it; that art is useless. But when we look at a picture or a representation of a thing or at an abstraction, we reflect on something in ourselves because "we are witnessing what remains of another person's creative act, and through the artistic object we find ourselves embroiled in the drama of self and other". No art book I own quite so fully represents this human drama as The Art Book does. – Schimke is a journalist, a poet and the editor of the Cape Times books pages.

REVIEW: The Horologicon
Posted on February 7, 2013 By KarinSchimke
The Horologicon
Mark Forsyth
REVIEW: Karen Jeynes
The Horologicon is, I can confidently say, a…oh, what's the word? Yes, that's it, a multivagant celebration of language. Multivagant, as you will learn on page 220, means "wandering hither and thither", and is related to "extravagant" – "wandering beyond the bounds" and, as Mark Forsyth thinks you might want to know at 11pm, "solivagant" – "wandering alone towards your far-off felicity".
In my case, that felicity would be time spent devouring this masterpiece. From the moment it arrived in my hands I was in love. From the classic cover to the list of obscure dictionaries from which Forsyth gleaned some of his gems, I was hooked. This is word-nerd heaven, and I instantly bought the book and gave it to two people, and recommended it to several more.
Forsythe first gave us The Etymologicon and followed up quickly with The Horologicon.
Following on the extraordinary success of The Etymologicon, Mark Forsyth brings us "a day's jaunt through the lost words of the English language". The Horologicon, or book of hours, is a collection of beautiful, funny, odd and interesting words, divided into the hours when you might most need them. After lunch you might be wamblecroft – afflicted with an uneasiness of the stomach. At 6am you might be in a zwodder, a half-stupefied state. This division has been made so that words about similar things can be woven together. The theory is that you can dip into the book at a suitable hour, and read something appropriate to your state of mind. The reality is you will be hooked, and read for several hours at once.
The genius of Forsyth. who blogs as The Inky Fool, lies in his ability to draw you in to the enticing world of words. His enthusiasm for them oozes off the page. He is evidently vastly knowledgeable, but unlike many purveyors of knowledge his style is inclusive and accessible. It is impossible not to be lured in, and become addicted to, the words, the meanings, and the very celebration of our human ability and desire to express just about every emotion and occurrence. The decision to arrange the words by hours and weave them together with a narrative makes this book as readable as a novel, while remaining as useful as a dictionary. And the application of words to everyday situations means that they are far more likely to linger in your mind than if they were presented in a dry and academic style.
How could you not be enchanted by gymnologising (debating naked), poon (to prop up a table by wedging something under the leg) or scamander (to wander without a settled purpose)? I could continue, as on every page something is found to delight and resonate, but I won't, as you need to buy this book. In fact, it's hard not to introduce you to a plethora of words, as eagerly as I would introduce you to new friends. But credit must be given to the author, as without him there's no doubt that these words would have remained undusted on the back shelf of language. Forsyth's chatty style will make you feel that these are words that everyone could and should use.
Forsyth is a self-proclaimed pedant, a historian, and a man on a mission to spread a healthy addiction to words. His first book, The Etymologicon (which you should also buy) was described as "a circular stroll through the hidden connections of the English language", and became a bestseller. He blogs on language and grammar, and is seemingly ever-keen to engage on issues of language. He also takes a practical approach to things. "Reality changes words far more than words can ever change reality," says Forsyth. This is not the dogmatic pedant, ready to strike with a red pen. This is rather a benevolent confectioner, ready to hand you a delightful treat when you least expect it.
Another reviewer described The Horologicon as an excellent way to "upgrade" your English. I think this is a superb analogy, as reading The Horologicon, even if you don't recall a single word of it afterwards, will undoubtedly make you prick up your ears a little more to the words that you do use, encourage you to start thinking about language, the basic tool which we use to survive every day. Whether you are already intrigued by words and want to expand your treasure trove, or simply in search of an excellent and intriguing read, The Horologicon will help you while away the hours. And somewhere between the front cover and the back, you will realise that you are learning things without even realising it, that knowledge is seeping into your brain and that you feel so much the better for it.
This is not a reference book to put on your desk to impress people with. This is a delightful new companion to keep to hand at all times, and shall never be used as a poon. – Jeynes is an award-winning playwright who lectures in digital culture. She is also the editor of ThatWordSite.

Auctions November 1, 2018 <November 1, 2018
A 24-carat yellow diamond necklace owned Marilyn Monroe goes on auction at Christie's
by Ekta Joshi
Any commodity owned, loved or even as much as touched by Marilyn Monroe is sure to garner millions! And here to make a similar fortune on its sale is a rare 24.04-carat canary yellow gem that was briefly owned by the movie star and was worn by her during the premiere of the 1953 film -Gentlemen prefer Blondes.
The fancy diamond is said to have been pulled from the Golconda mine outside Hyderabad in ancient India and was originally owned by the Gaekwads of Baroda, a ruling family, till the 15th century. After passing through several hands thereafter, the 'Moon of Baroda'- as it is called, made its way to Meyer Rosenbaum who acquired it in the 1950's and loaned it to Monroe for the opening of the film. It was last auctioned by Christie's for a whopping $297,000 in New York, after which it is said to have disappeared for over a decade. As stated by the auction house, "After 28 years, it (The Moon of Baroda) has again reappeared at Christie's..only this time, the diamond has been classified as a historical diamond."
The precious gem was also kept on display at Los Angeles from October 16 to 20, before it was transported for auction at the Hong Kong Magnificent Jewels sale to be held on November 27. For those who cannot think of affording the diamond, Christie's will also give out an autographed photo of the actress wearing the stone at the same time.

If you ask me, auto-update is one of the things that people use every day, yet aren't aware of it. Whether it be from apps on your phone, to apps in your web browser, or security updates for your PC. A majority of the time it does it's thing, with sometimes a little input from you and off you go. What a time saver it is!
… That is until auto-update decides to cause some issues.
A few weeks back, I did a bulk upgrade of some plugins on here. Nothing unusual about it, I hadn't logged on it a while, it seemed the fastest way to do so. Until about the 5th update, when it froze. I assumed it was just taking it's time, so left it for about 20 minutes (quite a long time for a plugin to update if you ask me). Still, nothing. So I opened a new tab, it turned out the plugin didn't update. So I pressed update again, still, nothing.
Now ever since this issue, with this one plugin I have always had to manually update that plugin. A little bit of a hassle, yes, download the plugin to my computer, uploading the files to the server. It wastes time to be fair, especially when it could be done a lot faster by pressing one button!
However, it was today I felt the pain of a manual update. It wasn't a plugin, this time, it was the site itself that required an update. So, as I do, I press the update button… Nothing. I waited a while, still, nothing. Opened the same page in another tab, prompted to update again, I pressed it, the same happened.
I soon realised a manual update was needed. Now this was slightly more crucial than a plugin, so a back-up was in order, in case something went wrong. This is where time was added, the back-up, the download, the upload… You get the idea.
So coming to my point, do you think we rely on auto-update so much? Could you really imagine manually updating things all the time? Do let me know your thoughts.

Vatertag ist ein deutscher Film von Hans Richter aus dem Jahr 1955.

Handlung
Der Fahrlehrer Gustav Helbig ist mit sich zufrieden, denn er hat seinen bisher "schwersten Fall", den Friseur Egon Kammerhahn, durch die Fahrprüfung gebracht. Frau Berta Helbig zeigt sich jedoch unzufrieden, will sie doch dringend in die Stadt um wichtige Besorgungen zu erledigen. Dazu gehört auch ein Besuch im Hundepflegesalon von Thea und Paul Brause, die Hochkonjunktur haben, denn jeder dritte Einwohner des Städtchens besitzt einen Hund. Thea kümmert sich um die Schönheitspflege der Tiere, während ihr Mann diese dressiert. In der Ehe ist es genau umgekehrt, denn hier liegt Paul an der Leine.

Aber Paul gerät, ebenso wie seine Freunde vom Kegelverein Gustav Helbig, Adam Kugel, Franz Novotny, Herr von Streitwitz und Egon Kammerhahn, in einen schlimmen Verdacht. Ihre Frauen glauben nämlich, dass die Herren auf die schiefe Bahn geraten sind. Diese treffen sich regelmäßig nach den Kegelabenden im Stadttheater mit sechs attraktiven Tänzerinnen. Der Grund dafür ist aber sehr einfach. Die Kegelbrüder wollen aber am Himmelfahrtstag in der Nachbarstadt Heideborn an einem großen Tanzwettbewerb teilnehmen, dessen erster Preis ein kostenloser Wochenendaufenthalt für die Familie ist. Deshalb treffen sie sich mit den Tänzerinnen, um Tanzunterricht zu nehmen. Natürlich schaffen es die Frauen am Vatertag nach Heideborn zu kommen, um das Unwesen der Männer aufzudecken. Hier müssen sie aber beschämt erkennen, dass sie nahezu halbe Engel als Ehegefährten haben, die nur den ersten Preis gewinnen wollten und auch bekamen.

Produktion
Der Film wurde im Atelier Hamburg-Wandsbek gedreht. Die Außenaufnahmen entstanden in Hamburg und Umgebung. Charles Nowa übernahm die musikalische Leitung, für die Bauten waren Mathias Matthies und Ellen Schmidt zuständig. Die Produktionsleitung lag in den Händen von Hans Wolff. Vatertag hatte am 6. Juli 1955 im Europa-Filmpalast in Frankfurt am Main Premiere.

Kritik
Das Lexikon des internationalen Films bezeichnete den Film als einen anspruchslosen Unterhaltungsfilm ohne jeden Funken Humor, der sich in banalen Situationsgrotesken und Witzblattfiguren verliert.

In temperate climates, influenza displays distinct seasonality: infections mainly occur from November through March in the northern hemisphere, and from May to September in the southern hemisphere. The results of experiments in guinea pigs have revealed that aerosol transmission of influenza virus is most efficient in cold and dry conditions, and completely blocked at warm or humid conditions. Therefore it has been suggested that seasonality of influenza in temperate climates is regulated by temperature and humidity. In the tropics, influenza activity is more sporadic, occurring throughout the year or in temporally irregular outbreaks. One hypothesis to explain this pattern is that transmission in these areas occurs by contact, not by aerosol.
To determine if influenza transmission by contact is influenced by humidity and temperature, infected and uninfected guinea pigs were housed in the same cage. The effect of environmental conditions of spread of virus to uninfected animals was then determined. The results show that temperature or relative humidity have little effect on the efficiency of transmission by contact. Based on the results obtained in guinea pigs, the authors suggest that transmission of influenza viruses in the tropics is mainly through direct or indirect contact.
But it's not clear that influenza occurs in all tropical countries in a sporadic, year-round pattern. Effect measure has an excellent post on this topic called "Do the tropics have a flu season?" They point out that a two-year study in Nicaragua revealed that influenza shows a characteristic seasonality with a peak in the middle of the rainy season.
The increased number of summer cases is a consequence of increased surveillance and testing of patients with influenza-like illness.
The 2009 swine-origin H1N1 influenza virus has a unique ability to transmit by the aerosol route even in warm or humid conditions.
The 2009 swine-origin H1N1 influenza virus can be transmitted by aerosol under hot and humid conditions because humans have little population immunity to the virus.
The virus is being transmitted mainly by contact in the northern Hemisphere and with unusually high efficiency due to the low level of population immunity.
The authors rule out explanation #1, mainly because seasonal H1N1 and H3N2 viruses which circulated in the winter of 2008-09 have not been detected frequently during the spring and summer of 2009. They believe that the remaining hypotheses are all possible, but prefer #4. I don't know the basis for their preference, and they do not elaborate.
Our understanding of influenza seasonality has markedly improved in recent years, but is still incomplete. Information obtained from viral infection of animals may provide clues, but will rarely answer all the questions about human infectious diseases. You should not find this conclusion surprising: how could infecting a few dozen guinea pigs in plastic cages model what occurs in billion of human beings spread across an ecologically diverse globe?
it , by breathing or contact.
Vitamin D deficiency? A hypothesis that may explain susceptibility better than the PLoS Pathogens article is Epidemic influenza and vitamin D. (Epidemiol Infect. 2006 Dec;134(6):1129-40.
Cannell JJ, Vieth R, Umhau JC, Holick MF, Grant WB, Madronich S, Garland CF, Giovannucci E.) If as Lowen at al suggest cold dry conditions favour transmission, then it is pretty unexplicable how the exact opposite, the rainy season with its warm and moist wetaher would favour transmission/infection in the tropics. Vit D deficiency would at least be a more valid proposition in both cases.
It seems to me that the rainy-season peak in Nicaragua could still be accounted for as a result of increased contact transmission (and not necessarily a virus with greater aerosol transmission in heat and humidity) because the rainy season itself might influence human-to-human contact frequencies by making it more likely for humans to be in close quarters, while they are sheltered from the rain. This same pattern may very well exist in temperate climates as well, with the cold weather season as the cause for an increase in human contact. Because cold weather also coincides with better conditions for aerosol transmission, it would be difficult to determine if this contact-transmission cycle exists in temperate climates.
just ask the ILI-people how crowded they were, whether known contacts had ILI.
I find it amazing that they can't figure it out despite so much research.

Who's to blame for the Gulf oil gusher? We break it down
By Grist staff on Jun 5, 2010
We all know there's a lot of blame to go around for the ongoing disaster in the gulf. In the weeks since the Horizon rig first came unglued, all the principals in this mess have taken turns pointing fingers at one another. Now, it's our turn. We applied Grist's scientific, who's-fault-is-it-really, assessment method. The results are now in. And the proud winners are . . .
BP, 37 percent
Topped the chain of command on the Deepwater Horizon rig. Took risks to lower costs. Cut corners on testing cement. Failed to implement safety measures like an acoustic switch. Misled about its ability to prevent spills in deep water. Overruled crew objections on day of explosion. Grossly underestimated the rate of the spill.
Minerals Management Service, 11 percent
Long history of cozy relationship with oil and gas industry, including a busy revolving door. A "culture of ethical failure," [PDF] according to the Interior Department's inspector general, including scandals involving sex, drugs, and gifts from regulated corporations. Allowed oil and gas companies to set safety standards and procedures. Cut back number of safety inspections. Regularly granted oil companies exemptions from environmental studies. Top management overruled objections from staff biologists and engineers about safety and environmental impact. Let oil companies evaluate own performance, and even turn in reports written in pencil that MMS staffers would then trace over in pen. Failure to collect billions in royalties from oil companies — "a jaw-dropping example of bureaucratic bungling," the inspector general says. Read more about MMS corruption and incompetence.
Barack Obama, 9 percent
Failed to make sweeping changes across the Interior Department and at the Minerals Management Service specifically, though it was clear from that start of his tenure that the agencies badly needed reform. (He's finally acting now.) Too deferential to BP on estimates of the disaster's scale, on cleanup, and on use of dispersants. Too slow in projecting a "take charge" image and getting cleanup moving. Too slow in using the disaster to call for real reform of our energy system (though he is now finally doing so).
George Bush & Dick Cheney, 9 percent
Pushed more, more, more drilling — offshore, onshore, everywhere. Staffed MMS with industry-friendly cronies and allowed it to become a "candy store" for oil and gas companies. Failed to reform MMS even when corruption scandals erupted. Hacked away at regulatory structure across the board, clearing the way for industry to do what it pleases.
Congress, 5 percent
Weak oversight of regulatory agencies like MMS. Failure to require cutting-edge safety measures, such as acoustic switches. Ongoing support, including tax breaks and incentives, for offshore drilling. Insufficient support for alternative sources of energy. Failure to pass effective and meaningful legislation to reform energy system.
Transocean, 2 percent
In charge of operation of rig, meaning that failure of any equipment, including blowout prevents, was its responsibility. Rig crew may have missed warning signals before explosion. Has vague emergency procedures.
Halliburton, 3 percent
Possible contamination of cement used to seal well at Deepwater Horizon rig. Possible leak of natural gas through cement seal.
The Rest of Us, 22 percent
We drive. We fly. We buy gizmos and food shipped long distances. We consume petrochemicals via our clothes, furniture, gadgets, painkillers, cosmetics, magazines, meals. And we don't fight hard enough to change the system.

An island nation lying east of the Sea of Japan in the Pacific Ocean, Japan is geologically a "stratovolcanic archipelago" consisting of nearly 6900 smaller islands. Shikoku, Honshu, Kyushu and Hokkaido are Japan's four largest island which comprise 97 percent of Japan's total land mass. The Greater Tokyo Area, including Japan's capital Tokyo, is home to 35 million people, making it the largest metropolitan region in the world. Japan also belongs to the United Nations, the G7,G8 and G20 and has the third-largest economy, behind the U.S. and China.
Where Do You Earn a Business Degree in Japan?
Business, finance and engineering degrees are popular degrees sought by both Japanese and international students at numerous universities operating in Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka and other large Japanese cities. However, less than 10 percent of non-science undergraduates attend graduate school because students receiving master's or doctorates do so only because they want to continue working in academia. In addition, Japanese businesses do not consider a graduate student any more competent to fulfill positional requirements than a student with a bachelor's degree.
How Long is an Academic Year in Japan?
Although the academic year for all levels of education begins in April and ends nearly a year later in March, numerous universities allow students to enroll at various times during the year. Also, some classes run throughout the academic year while others are divided into semesters lasting from April to September and October to March. Summer break for higher education students begins in late July and ends in late August; winter break is from December to January and spring break starts February and ends in early April.
Average yearly tuition for a bachelor's degree in business at a Japanese university is 600,000+ yen, or $5000+ USD (4500 EUR). Some universities may charge at high as 1,220,360 yen ($10,000 USD or 9000 EUR), especially public universities, which are held in higher regard than private Japanese universities.
How Long Does It Take to Earn a Degree in Japan?
Students will be enrolled in a business-oriented undergraduate program for three to four years. Master's degrees in business my be earned in one year instead of the usual two, depending on how much academic work the student is capable of handling.
Why Earn a Business Degree in Japan?
Japan's higher education system is internationally recognized as one of the best in the world. Consistently ranked in the top 20 of global universities are Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo, with 33 other Japanese universities placing on the Time's Higher Education list of 100 top Asian universities.
Which visa you need depends on how long you are going to study in Japan:
Short-term courses up to 90 days: many nationalities can visit Japan for up to 90 days on a visa waiver. When you arrive in Japan you will get a sticker in your passport, which shows that you can stay in Japan for 90 days. If you travel on a visa waiver you must have a return ticket within 90 days.
Long-term courses longer than 90 days: For courses that are 20 weeks (two quarters) or longer you should apply for a student visa. The Japanese college student visa is also known as Ryugaku."
What type of Visa do you need?
Visa name
Price and currency
JPY 3000
The visa application fee is about 3,000 yen for single entry, and 6,000 yen for a double-entry or multiple-entry.
Please note that the visa application fee is not fixed, and depends on the nationality of the student and course being pursued. The best way is to contact the Consular Section of the Embassy or Consulate General of Japan that is closest to you.
Who can apply for the visa?
All foreign students coming to study full time in Japan for more than 3 months must have a visa.
Where can you make the application?
Japanese Embassy
The first part of the application process is done through your university. You will get your visa from the Japanese Embassy in your home country.
How to make the application?
Applying for a student visa to Japan is a multiple-step process.
1. First, you fill in different visa application documents and submit them to your school. Once you apply to a school they will send you the following documents that you need to fill in and submit to the school:
An application form where you fill in data about yourself and the course.
A personal history form where you fill in your educational and occupational history.
Application essay - motivate why you want to study in Japan.
Diploma and transcript from the last school you have graduated from, translated into English or Japanese.
Certificate of previous Japanese studies if applicable.
A copy of your passport
Medical history - some schools ask for your medical history or tuberculosis check-up but many schools don't.
You also need to prove that you can pay for your course and support yourself in Japan.
2. The school checks that your application is complete before they rewrite it and submit it to the immigration authorities in Japan. About one month before your course starts they will issue a Certificate of Enrollment (CoE). The school will send you the CoE as soon as it has been issued and you have paid for your first semesters.
3. The final step to get a student visa to Japan is to make the visa application at the Japanese Embassy in your home country. To do this you need to submit:
Your CoE
A passport photo
A visa application form filled in digitally or by hand using block letters.
When should you apply?
University deadline for visa applications is often about five months before the course starts, so make sure to apply earlier. High-ranking language schools and universities sometimes can take later applications too.
It takes a minimum of 5 working days to process the visa including the date of submission. You should also not apply before 90 days from intended date of travel.
The Japanese student visa allows part-time work for up to 28 hours per week.
Anyone with a student visa staying longer than 6 months and wishing to work must submit an application for "Permission to Engage in Activity Other Than That Permitted by the Status of Residence Previously Granted." This can be done immediately upon arrival at the airport or later on at a local immigration bureau. There is no fee, so make sure to do so if you plan on working.
Why do you need this type of visa?
If you submit a complete application you will almost always get your visa from the Japanese Embassy. However, they can deny you if the information is incomplete or if you, for example, have some serious criminal record.
Here are some things to keep in mind to avoid a denial of a Japanese student visa:
Perhaps the biggest risk of rejection is due to insufficient sponsorship requirements.
Only one school can apply on your behalf for a student visa! If you try to hedge your bets by applying through multiple schools, you will probably get rejected.
Please remember not to staple your documents.
An incomplete file will be refused, remember to thoroughly check your application.

RICHMOND, Va. - CBS6 Weather Authority predicts up to six to nine inches of snow could cover Central Virginia during a Friday to Saturday snow event. Even more snow is anticipated in southeast Virginia, with a winter storm watch issued for Gloucester, Surry, James City, Greenville and Sussex.
There could be slick roadways and dangerous driving conditions.
AAA has released some reminders to make sure all drivers take the proper precautions while traveling.
Watch the traffic ahead. Slow down immediately at the sight of brake lights, skidding vehicles or emergency flashers.
Bridges and overpasses freeze first and melt last. Use extra caution as the roadway leading to the bridge may appear fine but the bridge itself could be a sheet of ice.
Do not power up hills. Applying extra gas on snow-covered roads may only result in spinning your wheels. Try to get a little inertia going before you reach the hill and let that inertia carry you to the top. As you reach the crest of the hill, reduce your speed and proceed downhill as slowly as possible.
Do not stop going up a hill. It is difficult to move up a hill on an icy road. If possible, get your vehicle moving on a flat roadway first before taking on a hill.
Minimize the need to brake on ice. If you are approaching a stop sign, traffic light or other areas where ice often forms, brake early on clear pavement to reduce speed. Vehicle control is much more difficult when braking on ice-covered roadways.
Control the skid. Slamming on the brakes can make the skid even worse. In the event of a skid, take your foot off the brake or accelerator, continue to look and steer where you want to go. Then begin to accelerate slowly.
Do not brake and turn at the same time. Asking your vehicle to do two things at a time makes it more likely that your tires will lose traction. Brake first, then turn, then accelerate.
Know your brakes. If you have anti-lock brakes (ABS) and need to slow down quickly, press hard on the pedal. It is normal for the pedal to vibrate a bit when the ABS is activated.
Stay with your vehicle. It provides temporary shelter and makes it easier for rescuers to locate you.
Do not try to walk in a severe storm. It is easy to lose sight of your vehicle and get lost in blowing snow.
Do not overexert yourself trying to dig or push your vehicle out of the snow. Keep sand, kitty litter or traction mats in your vehicle to help the vehicle's tires gain traction on ice and snow. Even a vehicle's floor mats can help in a jam.
Tie a brightly colored cloth to the antenna or place a cloth at the top of a rolled up window to signal distress. At night, keep the dome light on if possible as it only uses a small amount of electricity and will make it easier for rescuers to find you.
Make sure the exhaust pipe is not clogged with snow, ice or mud. A blocked exhaust could cause deadly carbon monoxide gas to leak into the vehicle when the engine is running.
If possible, run the engine and heater just long enough to remove the chill and to conserve gasoline.
Mobile phone pre-programmed with rescue apps and important phone numbers including family and emergency services and charger.

The government of Canada has created a special category of work permit that offers a facilitated route through which majority owners of a company can acquire the right to work in Canada legally.
For many businesspersons around the world, Canada is the logical choice to embark upon a new business venture or expanding an existing business. The favorable economic climate, the work ethic of the people, and the diversity of the population are all factors that contribute to making Canada an ideal environment to operate a business.
If business owners had to go through the same work permit process as other foreign nationals they would most likely be dissuaded from considering Canada as a viable option for the location of their company.
Generally, to obtain a work permit, a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) must first be conducted and approved. As part of the LMIA process, Canadian employers must demonstrate that employing a foreign worker will have a positive or neutral impact on the Canadian labour market, and that there is currently no Canadian citizen or permanent resident available to fill the position, which is typically done by advertising the position on several venues. Because of the reluctance to hire a foreigner for a position that could, presumably, be performed by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, these applications are heavily scrutinized and are often refused if they do not conform precisely with requirements set forth by the government.
However, majority business owners (over 50% ownership) may be eligible for a work permit under the Owner/Operator stream, and as such, exempt from the advertising requirements of the LMIA. This facilitates the process greatly, as this is usually the most difficult hurdle of a LMIA and its ancillary work permit application.
The main purpose of this LMIA stream is to provide a facilitated route through which foreign nationals can enter Canada to run their business. Quite understandably, most business owners are protective of their company and are adamant about personally overseeing its operation in order to ensure it is running according to his/her specifications. If entrepreneurs had to surrender the helm of their Canadian company due to a lengthy and convoluted work permit application process, most of them would look elsewhere to start or expand their business. Fortunately, the government of Canada understands this and has had the foresight effectively address these concerns with the Owner/Operator LMIA stream.
Please use the form below to submit your inquiry about getting a work permit and working legally in Canada. A member of our team of work permit specialists will respond with an evaluation of your needs.
Please describe your Work Permit Inquiry*
Please describe the nature of work to be performed by the foreign worker in Canada, and also include information about the foreign worker (e.g. qualifications, nationality)
Do you have, or plan on having, a business presence in Canada? Yes No

Q: Sync two home directories between macbook dropbox and hackintosh I have a 100gb pro account with Dropbox and i want to sync all or select files in my home directory between two mac's.
The way i've thought of this I only have two options..
My question is: is there a better way to do this, if not which of the two presented options in this diagram.

Option 1
Macbook Pro
home directory: /users/gorelative
Drop Box: /volumes/macintonshHD/DropBox/
symlink my home directory to a folder within dropbox
$ ln -s /users/gorelative /volumes/macintoshHD/DropBox/gorelative`

Hackintosh (Desktop)
home directory: set to /volumes/macintoshHD/DropBox/gorelative
Drop Box: /volumes/macintoshHD/DropBox
Change the location of my homedirectory in account preferences to the folder downloaded from dropbox.

Option 2
Macbook Pro
home directory: /users/gorelative
Drop Box: /volumes/macintonshHD/DropBox/
symlink my home directory to a folder within dropbox
$ ln -s /users/gorelative /volumes/macintoshHD/DropBox/gorelative`

Hackintosh (Desktop)
home directory: set to /users/gorelative
Drop Box: /volumes/macintoshHD/DropBox
$ ln -s /volumes/macintoshHD/DropBox/gorelative /users/gorelative

symlink my home directory to the dropbox folder of my home dir

Other Options?
Im sure there are other options, like changing the homedir on both machines to something with the dropbox folder.

A: Here is what i did on both machines:
I chose to sync the following folders & files, as they are what i work with frequently. Rather than syncing my entire home directory.
Documents/
Pictures/
Projects/
Music/
Movies/
Library/
.zshrc

i moved all of the above folders/files to a user folder located in my dropbox folder at:
$ /volumes/macintoshHD/Dropbox/users/gorelative/

I then deleted these folders/files from my home directory located at:
$ /users/gorelative/

I then symlinked all of the folders/files above from my dropbox folder to my home directory.
//$ ln -s /path/to/source /path/to/destination
$ ln -s /volumes/macintoshHD/Dropbox/users/gorelative/Documents /users/gorelative/Documents
//...etc

A: Update: Found a possible duplicate that may contain answers for you: Sharing or syncing home folders between Macs
Maybe I'm missing something here, but why not just have your Dropbox folder inside your home folder, and then just store your media files inside of Dropbox? You can make your own 'Pics, Docs...' folders inside of the Dropbox folder. That way you don't risk Dropbox messing up any system or software files by having it manage file versioning in your home folder.
If you really want to sync the entire home folder, you could try something like ChronoSync . But beware, and as it says at the bottom there, and will probably ring true for many third party solutions:

"Make sure to always synchronize each time you switch over to the
  other computer. If you fail to do this, conflicts may arise. A
  conflict is when the same file has changed on both computers. Since
  you have to choose between one file or the other, you would lose the
  changes made to one of the files. If a conflict does arise, then
  choose the file from the computer you last used."

Planning a trip to Finland? July will a see the long awaited opening of Helsinki airport's rail link to the city centre. It will take 30 minutes to and from the capital's central station. The Ring Rail Line will be 18 kilometres long, 8kms of which will be in tunnels. Passengers travelling to and from the north of Finland will be able to change at Tikkurila station, which is about an 8 minute ride to the east of the airport.


Some of the biggest names in San Diego's hospitality scene are revealing fresh offerings in the coming months, from big remodels to new construction.
The new rooftop restaurant Rustic Root is set to open on Fifth Avenue in the Gaslamp Quarter in early June.
Rustic Root is a project by RMD Group, hospitality entrepreneur Ken Lovi and executive chef Antonio Friscia. The same bunch is behind Don Chido, a Mexican eatery that opened in the Gaslamp Quarter last summer.
Rustic Root is slated to offer "rustic" American cuisine, with dishes such as elk chops, fried chicken, lobster pappardelle and furikake-crusted hamachi.
The new venue is being billed as the Gaslamp Quarter's only dedicated rooftop restaurant, though it will have multiple levels: a 2,500-square-foot rooftop space, and a 500-square-foot downstairs patio that opens to a 2,500-square-foot dining room and bar.
OCIO Design Group is the architect alongside RMD Group's construction division RMD Development. Interior design for Rustic Root is by Davis Ink Ltd. and includes a giant Sudoku wall, life-sized animal topiary bushes and street-style lamps.

Georgia spaceport attracts small launch vehicle developer
ORLANDO — A Georgia county seeking to develop a spaceport has attracted a small launch vehicle company to set up operations and, hopefully, launch from there.
The Camden County Joint Development Authority, the county's economic development agency, announced Sept. 17 that it had reached an agreement with ABL Space Systems to establish an integration and testing facility for the small launch vehicle that company is developing.
Under the agreement, the county authority will lease property at a small airport in the city of St. Mary's, Georgia, that closed in 2017 and, after making minor improvements, sublease it to ABL. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but company expects to start operations there in January.
The facility will be used for vehicle assembly, ground system testing and "low energy" test operations, but not for launch operations. Those activities will be coordinated with the U.S. Navy, whose Submarine Base Kings Bay is located next to the site.
ABL Space Systems, headquartered in El Segundo, California, was founded by 2017 by several former SpaceX employees. The company is working on a small launch vehicle called the RS1, a two-stage rocket using engines developed by Ursa Major Technologies. The vehicle is designed to place up to 900 kilograms into low Earth orbit at a price of $17 million a launch. A test launch of the vehicle is planned for the third quarter of 2020, according to its website.
The agreement comes as the county works to develop a commercial launch site, called Spaceport Camden, to support small launch vehicles like the RS1. While the agreement does not cover launch operations, county officials expect that ABL will eventually become a customer of the spaceport.
"We are making good on our promise that Spaceport Camden will be a public private partnership," said Jimmy Starline, chairman of the county's board of commissioners, in a statement. "ABL has made a substantial commitment to Camden County and we look forward to working with them to expand our partnership once we receive a launch site operator's license from the Federal Aviation Administration."
Getting that spaceport license has been a controversial issue in the region. The FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation released a draft environmental assessment of the proposed launch site in March, concluding that building the spaceport was the "preferred alternative" and that there were no environmental impacts that could not be mitigated in some way.
However, some environmental organizations, as well as residents of nearby Cumberland Island, oppose the spaceport, concerned about the effects of a launch accident or the disruption posed by launch activities. That resulted in more than 15,000 comments submitted to the FAA during a public comment period, far higher than the few hundred normally received for an environmental assessment for a launch site. Most were form letters from members of environmental organizations, according to one report.
John Simpson, a spokesman representing the Camden County Joint Development Authority, told SpaceNews Sept. 18 that the county is awaiting the release of the final environmental impact statement, followed by the FAA's decision on the spaceport license application. "We are optimistic for a final decision in 2019," he said.

OneDrive for Business gives each Office 365 user a personal site collection and a storage space of 1 TB (unlimited in the E3 and E5 subscriptions), but Microsoft has not made it easy to really take advantage of these benefits. I have now published two new Tips articles with demos to help users benefit from having their own SharePoint site collection.
First I describe the limited OneDrive library that most people see and use, and then I explain how you can get behind the scenes and give OneDrive all the standard SharePoint features.
OneDrive for Business is primarily used for synchronization between SharePoint libraries and your computer hard drive. The synchronization creates a library folder in the user's PC or other device, and after the first time the synchronization is automatic.
The synchronization gives users an opportunity to work with library files offline, and it is convenient to add files to SharePoint by placing them in the library folder for automatic upload. But you can do more with OneDrive.
The default OneDrive library is intended for file storage of personal files. By default all files in that library are private, but users can easily share them with other people within and outside the organization. However, the default library lacks some important features, like the possibility to create views or add columns.
The OneDrive for Business storage space is huge, but if you don't go behind the scenes all files and folders have to be kept in the limited default library. If you want to categorize files by placing them in different libraries, you will discover that new libraries cannot be created from the default library page. This is a drawback, but it is possible to overcome the problem. That is what I show in my second demo.
To be able to use all SharePoint functionality with your personal site collection, you should open the Site Settings, find the Site Contents and create a subsite. That subsite will give you everything you are used to in SharePoint, and the libraries you create will be standard libraries, by default with the new experience interface but with a possibility to return to the classic experience.
If the Site Settings isn't available directly from your default OneDrive for Business library, you can still reach the Site Contents by replacing the onedrive.aspx in the URL with viewlsts.aspx. Learn how in my demo!

11 Lady Gaga Lyrics From 'Joanne' That Might Be About Taylor Kinney
By Mary Grace Garis
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Mama Monster had another artistic rebirth on Friday, and it came the way of Joanne. Yes, Lady Gaga released Joanne , the highly anticipated follow-up to the entirely underwhelming Artpop, and, thus far, it's serving up sizable passion. As the album was penned during her break-up with fiancé Taylor Kinney, you can really hear the heartbreak weaved into those lyrics.
Sometimes her Kinney commentary shines loudly. "Diamond Heart" transparently references the engagement ring Kinney first gave her. And while nothing is truly substantiated about this, "Perfect Illusion" seems to be all post-break-up Gaga, reveling in the failure of her romance but somehow becoming stronger for it. Those are the obvious and hard-to-dispute odes to the model/actor/heartbreaker. But, since Gaga was involved with Kinney the past five years, leaving him as a sole source of inspiration for more recent works of love, it's easy to believe that it stops there. Elsewhere on the album, there might be more imperfect allusions (ugh, I'm sorry, I haven't had my coffee yet).
While we're all repeatedly spinning the album off our streaming services (does that turn of phrase work in this generation?), let's speculate. Here are 11 lyrics that just may be about Gaga's relationship with Kinney.
1. "Some Asshole Broke Me In/Wrecked All My Innocence/I'll Just Keep Go-Go'n/And This Dance Is On You"
Kinney isn't the first man in Gaga's life, or even the first Gaga suitor involved in the midst of fame. Who can forget her short-lived engagement to Lüc Carl, or at least the ode to him in "Yoü And I"? Perhaps this is a shout-out to Carl, or some other prior boyfriend, or maybe Kinney is the asshole. No matter what, I'm pretty sure the dance is for Kinney.
2. "C'mon Baby, Do You Have A Girlfriend"
Kinney did very much have a girlfriend when he and Gaga met on the set of the aforementioned "Yoü And I." And there was no shortage of drama surrounding that incident.
3. "I'm Not Flawless, But I Got A Diamond Heart"
It's worth wondering how much of this song was written before the break up, because this pairing suggests that, even though Gaga isn't perfect, it's OK because she has Kinney's heart-shaped diamond engagement ring. Sad.
4. "Two Lovers, Headed For Dead End/Too Fast/Hold Tight/He Laughs/Runnin' Through The Red Lights"
"John Wayne" as a whole could be a vague description of Gaga's type (she's all about the danger of romance) but "two lovers headed for a dead end" seems... well, an apt description of any failed relationship.
5. "Caught Up In Your Show/Yeah, At Least Now I Know"
Even though Gaga was enthralled in the throws of love, and it sucked to be deceived, she's ultimately relieved to be freed by the truth.
6. "It Wasn't Love, It Wasn't Love/It Was A Perfect Illusion"
Do I need to really explain the subtext on this one?
7. "Where Were You?/'Cause I Can't See You"
I don't think this is necessarily shade so much as it's Gaga saying she can no longer connect with her ex-fiancé.
8. "But I Feel You Watchin' Me/Dilated, Falling Free"
This, however, might be shade. It would suggest that Gaga feels Kinney will be watching all her next moves since she is, of course, a high-profile pop sensation and actress. The "dilated" line is also an interesting touch, since eyes dilate when you see someone you're enamored with.
9. "You're Giving Me A Million Reasons To Let You Go/You're Giving Me A Million Reasons To Quit The Show"
Oof, this pretty loudly suggests that things with Kinney weren't great for a long, long while.
10. "I've Got A Hundred Million Reasons To Walk Away/But Baby, I Just Need One Good One To Stay"
Awwww, babe. This one hurts a bit more, because here Gaga knows that she should leave the relationship, but it would probably be enough if she knew she was loved.
11. "Hear My Sinner's Prayer/ I Am What I Am/And I Don't Wanna Break The Heart Of Any Other Man /But You, But You"
I'm not sure if Kinney and Gaga's break-up was related to her eccentricity, her extravagance. I'm pretty sure he knew what he was getting himself into. However, these lyrics would definitely state that she's knows how crazy she is, she accepts how crazy she is, and she still only wants him if she can have him.
Whether any of these lyrics really are about Kinney, there are a lot of meanings buried in them. Interpret the subtext however you want, but Joanne is unquestionably one of Gaga's most personal albums to date

Special Event: The European Migration Crisis
Upcoming talk by Emily Arnold-Fernández, Founder and Executive Director, Asylum Access.
Discussants:
James Cavallaro, Professor of Law, Stanford Law School
Jenny S. Martinez, Professor of Law, Stanford Law School
"Human Rights and Refugees in Europe"
Time: 12:00PM to 1:30PM
Location: Bechtel Conference Center, Encina Hall
RSVP by 5:00PM January 19, 2016.
Working in conjunction with the WSD HANDA Center for Human Rights and International Justice, The Europe Center is pleased to announce a talk by Emily Arnold-Fernández, Founder and Executive Director of Asylum Access. During her visit to Stanford, Ms. Arnold-Fernández will discuss the rights of refugees and obligations of states under international law more generally before focusing on how European Union law affects these rights and obligations. Discussants James Cavallaro and Jenny S. Martinez, both of whom are professors of law at Stanford Law School, will further explore how international law has influenced the ways in which Europe and the larger international community has addressed the latest refugee crisis.
Emily Arnold-Fernández is a lawyer who has advocated nationally and internationally for the human rights of women, children, and other vulnerable individuals. She first became involved in refugee rights in 2002, when she represented refugees in United Nations proceedings in Cairo, Egypt. Recognizing that refugees throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America were almost always unequipped to go into a legal proceeding in a foreign country, alone, and explain why they should not be deported, Ms. Arnold-Fernández founded Asylum Access in 2005 in order to advocate on behalf of refugees seeking to assert their rights. For her work with this underserved and vulnerable community, Ms. Arnold-Fernández has been honored by the Dalai Lama as one of 50 "Unsung Heroes of Compassion" from around the world (2009), Waldzell Institute's Architects of the Future Award (2012), and Grinnell College Young Innovator for Social Justice Prize (2013). Ms. Arnold-Fernández holds a B.A. from Pomona College (1999) and a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center (2004). We invite you to visit our website for additional information about this event.
Featured Faculty Research: Peter Koudijs
We would like to introduce you to some of The Europe Center's faculty affiliates. Our featured faculty member this month is Peter Koudijs, who is an Assistant Professor of Finance in the Graduate School of Business.
Peter earned his Ph.D. in Economics, Finance, and Management from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Spain in 2011 and joined the faculty at Stanford University that same year. In his research, Peter uses historical evidence to shed light on the functioning of financial markets, focusing specifically on asset prices in the short and long run and on the role of bankruptcy protection on risk taking and investment. His recent article in theJournal of Political Economy examines the effect of private information on asset prices. While it is widely accepted that private information affects asset prices, the unobservable nature of private information obscures the dynamics of this relationship. The theoretical literature on this topic suggests that actors engaging in insider trading will strategically spread out trades over time. Specifically, because trading behavior provides information about asset value through changes in price, spreading out trades controls the flow of value information to the market and increases the actor's profits. In a novel empirical test of this relationship, Peter examines prices of English securities traded in London and Amsterdam in the 18th century. During this time, twice-weekly boats delivered information about these English assets from London to Amsterdam. While news typically arrived in Amsterdam three days after departing London, inclement weather and poor infrastructure frequently slowed travel, resulting in delays of varying lengths. If actors with private information were indeed engaging in the theorized strategic trading behavior, asset prices in Amsterdam would correlate with those in London even in the absence of new information and this behavior would vary as a function of expected ship arrivals. This is exactly what Peter finds. His paper contributes to the literature on financial markets by using a unique historical context to provide evidence of the role of private information and strategic investor behavior in shaping asset prices. In related work, forthcoming in the Journal of Finance, Peter uses this same historical setting to examine the importance of public information and liquidity shocks on asset price discovery. We invite you to visit our website for additional information about this research.

Featured Graduate Student Research: Leonardo Barleta
We would like to introduce you to some of the students that we support and the projects on which they are working. Our featured student this month is Leonardo Barleta (History). Leonardo is a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Stanford University.
Leonardo is a historian who is interested in the emergence and historical development of peripheral regions of empire. His current research uses the case of the Portuguese empire to examine the mechanisms that European empires developed to administer their colonies in the Early Modern period. The European colonial powers created vast imperial structures designed to administer distant parts of their empires. Yet the communication technology of the time resulted in both leaders in the imperial capital and administrators in far-flung territories making decisions in the absence of complete information. Scholars have sought to understand the decision-making process of authorities under these conditions of inconsistent communication and unreliable information, and some have argued that this led decision-makers to be indifferent to local knowledge. In research at Lisbon's Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino, National Archive Torre do Tombo, and Biblioteca Nacional, partially supported by The Europe Center, Leonardo uncovered evidence to the contrary. His archival research suggests that local knowledge - transmitted to the imperial capital via letters from litigants seeking dispute settlements in distant parts of the empire or petitions to the king by mobile vassals - served as an important source of information for those administering faraway domains.
Leonardo is currently using the data retrieved from the archives to develop his dissertation prospectus, which examines the development of peripheral regions of the Portuguese empire. He expects to defend his prospectus before the end of the academic year and to return to the archives to continue collecting data for this project.

Recap: Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Philip M. Breedlove, Visits Stanford
Europe is facing a dynamic and evolving geopolitical situation, with conflicts on two fronts. To the east, Russia seeks to expand both its territory and its power; to the south, the Syrian civil war continues to generate refugee flows into Europe. In his November visit to Stanford, General Philip M. Breedlove, Supreme Allied Commander Europe, spoke about these threats and discussed the central role of NATO in buttressing European security. General Breedlove drew attention to the nexus of these two security threats, positing that Russian involvement in Syria is intended to promote the image of Russia as a world power and to foster in the region regimes supportive of Russia. While Russia argues that its intervention in Syria is intended to promote global peace by helping to end the Syrian conflict, General Breedlove suggests that the sincerity of this claim is undermined by Russian intransigence over Georgia and Ukraine. Ultimately, he argued that maintaining security in the contemporary geopolitical context requires a continued commitment to NATO and the Transatlantic security apparatus. Following his presentation, General Breedlove engaged in a lively question and answer session with the audience, fielding questions on topics such as the ability of NATO member states to meet their 2 percent military spending commitment, how to engage with Russia without playing into the narrative that the west is surrounding them, and the prospects for Afghanistan. To watch General Breedlove's talk and the following question and answer period in full, please visit our website.

Got yourself access to someone's finger and a 3D printer? If they're using a Samsung Galaxy S10 or S10+ and you're able to image the digit, print it, and gain access to their phone, chances are you might be able to unlock the device.
Samsung's on-screen ultrasonic fingerprint scanner works by making a 3D image of your print using sonics, so any 3D printed image of your exact prints would probably do.
I wouldn't exactly call this hacking, which is what the linked Forbes article called it, because what you're doing is more along the lines of making a duplicate key for use in unlocking the phone.
The interesting part is that he duplicated the fingerprint using a photograph on a wine glass, photoshop it to get an alpha mask, then printed it with a $430 printer. Bam.
So, pretty much like any spy movie where they lift prints and print a fake thumb print to get through security.
So, S10 fingerprint scanner worked like any fingerprint scanner does, and was fooled like any fingerprint scanner can be fooled.
In other news, fingerprints as identification are not secure.


Michelle Obama's memoir, Becoming, may have been released late in the year (its pub date was November 13), but that didn't stop it from easily becoming the bestselling print book of 2018. According to NPD BookScan, Becoming sold 3.4 million print copies in the year, far outpacing Magnolia Table by Joanna Gaines, which was in second place with 1.3 million units sold. Obama's sales peaked in the last full week before Christmas, when her memoir sold over 712,000 copies at outlets that report to BookScan. That figure topped the 710,000 copies it sold in its first week on sale.
Adult nonfiction Aas been the strongest performing category among the major publishing segments this year, and when the final figures are confirmed, unit sales will be up about 5% over 2017. That strength is reflected in the number of titles the category placed among the top 20 bestsellers of the year; the segment had 10 of the top 20 sellers. Two much-discussed Trump-related books, Fire and Fury and Fear, were numbers five and seven, respectively, on the year-end list.
The highest-ranking adult fiction title was the collaboration between James Patterson and Bill Clinton that produced The President Is Missing, which sold over 703,000 print copies, landing it in 10th place on the year-end bestsellers list. In all, only four adult fiction print titles made the top 20 bestseller list.
Six children's books hit the top 20, led by Jeff Kinney's The Meltdown, which was #4 with 1.1 million copies sold.
Last year also appears to have been a better year for frontlist than 2017. Five books sold more than one million print copies in 2018, all of which were new books. Only four backlist titles cracked the top 20. In 2017, the two bestselling titles were the backlist books Wonder and Milk and Honey.
