OASIS requires a conformance section in an approved committee specification (see [TCProc], section 2.18 Specification Quality):
A specification that is approved by the TC at the Public Review Draft, Committee Specification or OASIS Standard level must include a separate section, listing a set of numbered conformance clauses, to which any implementation of the specification must adhere in order to claim conformance to the specification (or any optional portion thereof).
This document intends to meet this OASIS requirement on conformance clauses for a KMIP Server ([KMIP-Spec] 12.1) through profiles that define the use of KMIP objects, attributes, operations, message elements and authentication methods within specific contexts of KMIP server and client interaction. These profiles define a set of normative constraints for employing KMIP within a particular environment or context of use. They may, optionally, require the use of specific KMIP functionality or in other respects define the processing rules to be followed by profile actors.
For normative definition of the elements of KMIP specified in these profiles, see the KMIP Specification. Illustrative guidance for the implementation of KMIP clients and servers is provided in the KMIP Usage Guide.
The key words "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT",
"RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. The words 'must', 'can', and 'will' are forbidden.

2 Profiles
This document defines a selected set of conformance clauses and authentication suites which when "paired together" form KMIP Profiles. The KMIP TC also welcomes proposals for new profiles. KMIP TC members are encouraged to submit these proposals to the KMIP TC for consideration for inclusion in a future version of this TC-approved document. However, some OASIS members may simply wish to inform the committee of profiles or other work related to KMIP.
2.1 Guidelines for Specifying Conformance Clauses
This section provides a checklist of issues that SHALL be addressed by each clause.
1. Implement functionality as mandated by Section 12.1 (Conformance clauses for a KMIP servers)
2. Specify the list of additional objects that SHALL be supported
3. Specify the list of additional attributes that SHALL be supported
4. Specify the list of additional operations that SHALL be supported
5. Specify any additional message content that SHALL be supported
2.2 Guidelines for Specifying Authentication Suites
1. Channel Security – Client to Server communication SHALL establish and maintain channel confidentiality and integrity, and provide assurance of server authenticity
2. Channel Options – Options like protocol version and cipher suite
3. Client Authenticity – The options that are used to provide assurance of client authenticity
2.3 Guidelines for Specifying KMIP Profiles
A KMIP profile is a tuple of {Conformance Clause, Authentication Suite}
3 Authentication suites
This section contains the list of protocol versions and cipher suites that are to be used by profiles contained within this document.
3.1 Basic Authentication Suite
This authentication set stipulates that a KMIP client and server SHALL use TLS to negotiate a mutually-authenticated connection with the exception of the Query operation. The query operation SHALL NOT require the client to provide assurance of its authenticity.
3.1.1 Protocols
Conformant KMIP servers SHALL support TLSv1.0. They MAY support TLS v1.1 [RFC 4346], TLS v1.2 [RFC 5246] bearing in mind that they are not compatible with each other and SHALL NOT support SSLv3.0, SSLv2.0 and SSLv1.0.
3.1.2 Cipher Suites
Conformant KMIP servers SHALL support the following cipher suites:
· TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
Basic Authentication Suite Conformant KMIP servers MAY support the cipher suites listed in tables 4-1 through 4-4 of NIST 800-57 Part 3 with the exception of NULL ciphers (at the time this document was created, the only NULL cipher in 800-57 Part 3 was: TLS_RSA_WITH_NONE_SHA)
Basic Authentication Suite Conformant KMIP servers SHALL NOT support any other cipher suites.
NOTE: TLS 1.0 has some security issues as described in http://www.openssl.org/~bodo/tls-cbc.txt. Implementations that need protections against this attack should considering using the "TLS 1.2 Authentication Suite"
At the time this document was published, NIST 800-57 Part 3 Table 4-1, for cipher suites that have both SHA1 and SHA256 variants, erroneously categorizes SHA256 based ciphers under TLS versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 and SHA1 based ciphers under TLS 1.2. The correct value for SHA256 based ciphers should 1.2 and for SHA1 based ciphers it should be 1.0, 1.2 and 1.2.
3.1.3 Client Authenticity
For authenticated services (all operations save Query) KMIP servers SHALL require the use of channel (TLS) mutual authentication to provide assurance of client authenticity.
In the absence of Credential information in the request header, KMIP servers SHALL use the identity derived from the channel authentication as the client identity.
In the presence of Credential information in the request header, KMIP servers SHALL consider such Credential information into their evaluation of client authenticity and identity, along with the authenticity and identity derived from the channel. The exact mechanisms for such evaluation are outside the scope of this specification.
3.1.4 Object Creator
KMIP objects have a creator. For those KMIP requests that result in new managed objects the client identity SHALL be used as the creator of the managed object. For those operations that only access pre-existent managed objects, the client identity SHALL be checked against the creator and access SHALL be controlled as detailed in section 3.13 of [KMIP].
3.2 TLS 1.2 Authentication Suite
Conformant KMIP servers SHALL support TLSv1.2
· TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256
TLS 1.2 Authentication Suite Conformant KMIP servers MAY support the cipher suites listed in tables 4-1 through 4-4 of NIST 800-57 Part 3 with the exception of NULL ciphers (at the time this document was created, the only NULL cipher in 800-57 Part 3 was: TLS_RSA_WITH_NONE_SHA)
TLS 1.2 Authentication Suite Conformant KMIP servers SHALL NOT support any other cipher suites
NIST 800-57 Part 3 Table 4-1, for cipher suites that have both SHA1 and SHA256 variants, erroneously categorizes SHA256 based ciphers under TLS versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 and SHA1 based ciphers under TLS 1.2. The correct value for SHA256 based ciphers should 1.2 and for SHA1 based ciphers it should be 1.0, 1.2 and 1.2.
Same as the basic authentication suite (See Section 3.1.3)
4 KMIP Profiles
This section lists the KMIP profiles that are defined in this specification. More than one profile may be supported at the same time provided there are no conflicting requirements.
4.1 Secret Data KMIP Profile
A profile that consists of the tuple {Secret Data Server Conformance Clause, Basic Authentication Suite}
4.2 Basic Symmetric Key Store and Server KMIP Profile
A profile that consists of the tuple {Basic Symmetric Key Store and Server Conformance Clause, Basic Authentication Suite}
4.3 Basic Symmetric Key Foundry and Server KMIP Profile
A profile that consists of the tuple {Basic Symmetric Key Foundry and Server Conformance Clause, Basic Authentication Suite}
4.4 Secret Data TLS 1.2 Authentication KMIP Profile
A profile that consists of the tuple {Secret Data Server Conformance Clause, TLS 1.2 Authentication Suite}
4.5 Basic Symmetric Key Store and Server TLS 1.2 Authentication KMIP Profile
A profile that consists of the tuple {Basic Symmetric Key Store and Server Conformance Clause, TLS 1.2 Authentication Suite}
4.6 Basic Symmetric Key Foundry and Server TLS 1.2 Authentication KMIP Profile
A profile that consists of the tuple {Basic Symmetric Key Foundry and Server Conformance Clause, TLS 1.2 Authentication Suite}
5 Conformance Clauses
The following subsections describe currently-defined profiles related to the use of KMIP in support of secret data and symmetric key operations.
5.1 Secret Data Server Clause
This proposal builds on the KMIP server conformance clauses to provide some of the most basic functionality that would be expected of a conformant KMIP server – the ability to create, register and get secret data in an interoperable fashion.
5.1.1 Implementation Conformance
An implementation is a conforming Secret Data Server Clause if it meets the conditions as outlined in the following section.
5.1.2 Conformance of a Secret Data Server
An implementation conforms to this specification as a Secret Data Server if it meets the following conditions:
Supports the conditions required by the KMIP Server conformance clauses ([KMIP-Spec] 12.1)
Supports the following additional objects:
Secret Data ([KMIP-Spec] 2.2.7)
Supports the following client-to-server operations:
Register ([KMIP-Spec] 4.3)
Supports the following subsets of enumerated attributes:
Object Type ([KMIP-Spec] 3.3 and 9.1.3.2.11)
i. Secret Data
Secret Data Type ([KMIP-Spec] 9.1.3.2.8)
i. Password
Supports the following subsets of enumerated objects (see clauses 3 and 9):
Key Format Type ([KMIP-Spec] 9.1.3.2.3)
i. Opaque
Optionally supports any clause within [KMIP-Spec] specification that is not listed above
Optionally supports extensions outside the scope of this standard (e.g., vendor extensions, conformance clauses) that do not contradict any KMIP requirements
5.2 Basic Symmetric Key Store and Server Conformance Clause
This proposal builds on the KMIP server conformance clauses to provide support for symmetric key store and foundry use cases.
An implementation is a conforming KMIP Basic Symmetric Key Store and Server if the implementation meets the conditions as outlined in the following section.
5.2.2 Conformance as a Basic Symmetric Key Store and Server
An implementation conforms to this specification as a Basic Symmetric Key Store and Server if it meets the following conditions:
Supports the conditions required by the KMIP Server conformance clauses. ([KMIP-Spec] 12.1)
Symmetric Key ([KMIP-Spec] 2.2.2)
Supports the following attributes:
Process Start Date ([KMIP-Spec] 3.20)
Protect Stop Date ([KMIP-Spec] 3.21)
Cryptographic Algorithm ([KMIP-Spec] 3.4 and 9.1.3.2.12)
i. 3DES
ii. AES
i. Symmetric Key
Supports the following subsets of enumerated objects:
Key Format Type ([KMIP-Spec] 3.4 and 9.1.3.2.3)
i. Raw
ii. Transparent Symmetric Key
Optionally supports any clause within [KMIP-Spec]specification that is not listed above
5.3 Basic Symmetric Key Foundry and Server Conformance Clause
This proposal intends to meet this OASIS requirement by building on the KMIP Server Conformance Clause defined in the KMIP Specification to provide basic symmetric key services. The intent is to simply allow key creation and serving with very limited key types.
5.3.2 Conformance as a KMIP Basic Symmetric Key Foundry and Server
An implementation conforms to this specification as a KMIP Basic Symmetric Key Foundry and Server if it meets the following conditions:
Supports the following additional objects

Tomorrow, Borderlands 2 is getting another slice of DLC titled Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage and costing 800 Microsoft Points, 2K Games has announced.
Much like the original games Moxxi's Underdome Riot DLC, Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage sees you participating in arena battles, though it's much less limited and repetitive with plenty of side quests also on offer, whilst Mr Torgue himself looks to be a fun character.
It's always nice to see one of the games of the year getting additional content.

How Central Bankers Transformed the Postcommunist World
Juliet Johnson
Hardback / £29.99
Paperback / £21.99
Priests of Prosperity explores the unsung revolutionary campaign to transform postcommunist central banks from command-economy cash cows into Western-style monetary guardians. Juliet Johnson conducted more than 160 interviews in seventeen countries with central bankers, international assistance providers, policymakers, and private-sector finance professionals over the course of fifteen years. She argues that a powerful transnational central banking community concentrated in Western Europe and North America integrated postcommunist central bankers into its network, shaped their ideas about the role of central banks, and helped them develop modern tools of central banking.
Johnson's detailed comparative studies of central bank development in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia, and Kyrgyzstan take readers from the birth of the campaign in the late 1980s to the challenges faced by central bankers after the global financial crisis. As the comfortable certainties of the past collapse around them, today's central bankers in the postcommunist world and beyond find themselves torn between allegiance to their transnational community and its principles on the one hand and their increasingly complex and politicized national roles on the other. Priests of Prosperity will appeal to a diverse audience of scholars in political science, finance, economics, geography, and sociology as well as to central bankers and other policymakers interested in the future of international finance, global governance, and economic development.
Notes on Nomenclature
1. E Pluribus Unum
2. Transplantation
3. Choosing Independence
4. The Transformation Campaign
5. The Politics of European Integration
6. The Trials of Post-Soviet Central Bankers
Juliet Johnson is Professor of Political Science at McGill University. She is the author of Priests of Prosperity, also from Cornell, and former editor of the Review of International Political Economy (2007–2014).
"Priests of Prosperity casts light on a vitally important but understudied aspect of postcommunist transition: the role of Western central banks and international institutions in the creation of monetary and financial systems in the postcommunist world. For better or worse—and often for both—the transnational central banking community's efforts to guide their postcommunist colleagues count as a remarkably speedy and comprehensive example of policy transfer, implanting ideas as well as institutions. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and a wealth of other evidence, Johnson argues that the hands-on efforts of central bankers and experts from outside the region played a critical role in the successes and failures of transition countries in constituting stable, functioning monetary and financial systems."
William TompsonOECD, author of The Political Economy of Reform: Lessons from Pensions, Product Markets and Labour Markets in Ten OECD Countries
"The work of a mature scholar whose voice is distinctive and compelling, Priests of Prosperity is elegantly and persuasively written. The contributions of this book to comparative and international political economy are substantive and theoretical, and the primary research that informs Juliet Johnson's analysis is impressive and astonishingly thorough. Johnson's argument that a transnational community of central bankers exerted significant, decisive, and surprising influence on the trajectory of central banking practices in postcommunist states is well supported by the evidence. The historical narratives are fantastic."
Rawi Abdelal, Herbert F. Johnson Professor of International Management at Harvard Business School, author of National Purpose in the World Economy
"How timely is Juliet Johnson's Priests of Prosperity, which highlights not only the intricacies of central bank development and practice but also the role of an international community of banks in shaping this development. The book provides an illuminating comparison of central bank evolution and transformation across a number of postcommunist countries, including Hungary, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia."
Business History Review
"Investigates how the transnational central banking community actively guided the transformation of postcommunist central banks through transplantation and its stages of choice, transformation, and internalization. Discusses why and how central bankers in advanced industrial democracies formed a cohesive community championing price stability and political independence in the 1900s."
JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC LITERATURE
"Priests of Prosperity is Juliet Johnson's exhaustively researched account of the adoption of politically independent, inflation-targeting central banking in the post-communist world."
"A substantively significant and exciting contribution to the field of comparative political economy and to the understanding of postcommunist societies' transformation. The book is clear and persuasive because of a combination of a carefully developed theory, a deep understanding of postcommunist countries, and a combination of qualitative and quantitative evidence."
Perspectives on Politics
"Provides a unique theoretical framework for institutional emulation and a well-developed analysis of the diffusion of central bank independence throughout the postcommunist countries. It will be read and valued by experts and anyone working on the political economy of transition, central bank independence, or institutional emulation worldwide."
Slavic Review
"This book provides insight into an important element of the transition of postcommunist economies."
"The United States is not the only country in which the consensus on central-bank independence is in trouble: central bankers across the former communist world are facing sustained political challenge as well. The difference in the latter is that central-bank norms, practices and policies never sat that well within regimes in transition, and the consensus spread only weakly beyond the central banks themselves. This is the argument Juliet Johnson makes in her brilliant book on the role that central bankers played in the transformation of the post-communist world."

Cleveland Browns Scribbles: 17 rookies, waiver claims, shopping for impact players -- Terry Pluto
Terry Pluto, cleveland.com
The Browns are looking for more pass rushers such as Carl Nassib, who is off to a good start in his rookie season.
(John Kuntz / Cleveland.com)
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Scribbles in my Browns notebook as they add five players on waivers:
1. The Browns have 17 rookies on their 53-man roster, and one of their goals was to find players who can impact the game. In other words, guys with speed -- athletes capable of making plays. They also know some of their young players might not make much of an impact this season. If you look at their first three picks -- Corey Coleman, Emmanuel Ogbah and Carl Nassib, you see that philosophy.
2. We didn't see much of Coleman in the preseason because of a hamstring injury. In the parts of two games where he did play, he looked rusty and struggled. He was a big play receiver at Baylor and the Browns believe he will show that ability as the season goes along. In the preseason, Ogbah and Nassib both stood out because they actually pressured the quarterback.
3. Which brings us to some of the players claimed on waivers by the Browns. The team is extremely concerned about its lack of pass rush. The Browns know Tyrone Holmes is a project and very raw -- especially against the run. But Holmes is a bit intriguing. He was a sixth-round pick by Jacksonville and was among the final cuts for the Jags.
4. The 6-foot-2, 253-pound Holmes played defensive end at Montana and had 18 sacks for the small-school power. He had five tackles and a sack for Jacksonville in the preseason. Holmes was the FCS (the old Division I-AA) Defensive Player of the Year.
5. Holmes is better suited for a 4-3 defense. While the Browns base defense is the 3-4, they will play a lot of 4-man fronts in passing situations. They are looking for anyone to join Ogbah and Nassib as pass rushers. So there is an opportunity for Holmes to show he can get to the quarterback.
6. So keep thinking about players with the possibility of impacting the game. That's why the Browns claimed running back George Atkinson III. He's fast and had a strong preseason with Oakland, gaining 191 yards in 19 carries. He also had an 81-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Atkinson is fast, and this team is desperate for speed. The Browns must have been very interested in the Notre Dame product because they waived Terrell Watson to claim Atkinson.
7. Watson had been a favorite of Hue Jackson. Last season, the Browns coach had Watson on the Cincinnati practice squad when Jackson was the Bengals offensive coordinator. When Jackson was hired by the Browns, he brought along Watson. He had the second-most carries in the Browns preseason, gaining 57 yards in 16 attempts. That's a so-so 3.6 average, and it's how Watson looked -- just OK. He led the team with receptions, but only for an average of 4.4 yards. Watson is bullish-style runner, but just didn't do much to really impress.
8. Atkinson will make some spectacular plays because of his speed. The Raiders cut him because he has a tendency to fumble. He also dropped a sure TD pass in his last preseason game. He was on Oakland's practice squad in 2014 and 2015. They reportedly hoped he'd clear waivers and they could put him on the practice squad once again.
9. Justin Gilbert (traded to Pittsburgh) was probably the favorite to return kickoffs this season when training camp opened. The Browns went with Raheem Mostert to return kicks, but he averaged only 14.8 yards in four attempts. He was waived. My guess is Atkinson will get a chance to return kicks for the Browns, part of the reason they picked him.
10. The Browns know Taylor Gabriel is probably a better receiver right now than some of their rookie receivers. But they are in the process of sorting through the rookies, and haven't seen enough of the young receivers to know what they can do in the NFL. As of now, all four rookie receivers are on the 53-man roster: Corey Coleman, Rashard Higgins, Jordan Poyer and Ricardo Louis.
11. The 5-foot-7 Gabriel was cut by the Browns and claimed by Atlanta. When the Browns decided to keep 5-foot-7 veteran Andrew Hawkins, that probably was the end for Gabriel. The Browns didn't want to keep two mini-receivers.
12. The Browns did a lot of research about Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan. Like Cody Kessler, he played in a pro-style offense and had a lot of top-level college experience. In the end, they favored Kessler. But Hogan was of interest. Kansas City drafted Hogan in the fifth round. He played little, completing only 7-of-15 passes for 36 yards. So he didn't show much. The first two quarterbacks for Kansas City are Nick Folex and Alex Smith,
13. Players brought in now won't necessarily be around all season. The Browns have a serious commitment to running tryouts for players on the bottom of their roster. So cornerbacks Briean Boddy-Calhoun (I hear the Browns like him.) and Marcus Burley are claimed now and will be given a chance to impress -- but nothing is guaranteed.
14. The NFL is desperate for cornerbacks. Most teams keep five, meaning 160 play in the league. San Diego signed Pierre Desir, who alternated between cornerback and safety with the Browns in training camp. It will be interesting to see if Desir sticks with the Chargers. The Browns picked up Burley because he has played in 26 games for Seattle since 2013.
15. The Browns did not sign a center. They will use John Greco behind Cameron Erving. Greco starts at right guard. If Erving is injured, I hear Greco would take offer at center with Alvin Bailey moving to right guard. The Browns might a center to the practice squad.

The New York Times on the 2011 Facebook/FTC settlement.
Tech Republic outlines various Facebook privacy scandals.
Kate O'Neill's Wired article, Facebook's '10 Year Challenge' Is Just a Harmless Meme — Right?
O'Neill's book, Tech Humanist: How you can make technology better for business and better for humans.
Update: on January 18, the Washington Post reported that the Federal Trade Commission is "discussing" imposing a "record-setting fine" on Facebook. The previous record was a paltry $22.5 million against another Big Brother — the one I talked about at the end: Google, in 2012.
Your comments on this episode are welcome below. Questions can be added there, sent via this site's Contact Page, or tweeted to @ThisIsTrue.
The "challenges" we see on Facebook: just a bit of fun? A way to share of yourself to your friends? As I record this, the latest "challenge" on Facebook is sweeping the social platform: post your photo from 10 years ago next to one from now to show how you've changed in a decade. Sounds like fun: "everybody" is doing it! But when you "challenge" the challenge by applying some Uncommon Sense, you might not want to play along.
We never know where these things start: someone gets an idea, posts it, and it resonates with their friends: they post it too, and — with the "seven degrees of separation" concept fully engaged — before long "everyone" sees it. At least, everyone on that particular social platform. Although, such challenges can spread between platforms too: this one seems to be running on Instagram too, which is a subsidiary of Facebook, and Twitter, which isn't a subsidiary of Facebook …yet.
No, I'm not talking about the incredibly obliviotic "Bird Box Challenge" that's also been going on lately: that's based on the horror film Bird Box, a "Netflix Original" released in December about people driven to suicide by seeing …something!, so the characters blindfold themselves as they move around — a cinematic exploration of the blind leading the blind. Great: in our "monkey see, monkey do" culture?!
Indeed: the bird-brained online "challenge" is to do it in real life — what can be the harm in that?! Well, in Layton Utah, a 17-year-old girl tried it …while driving a pickup truck. With another teen in the passenger seat.
Of course you know what happened: "She ended up losing control of her car and skidded into the westbound lanes of Layton Parkway," said police lieutenant Travis Lyman, "and hit another car, and ended up hitting a light pole as well." The only thing the lieutenant got wrong: the girl didn't "end up losing control": once she covered her eyes while behind the wheel of a moving vehicle, she didn't have any control to lose. The only astounding twist to this story is that no one was injured, though police have asked the district attorney's office to charge the girl with reckless driving. There are photos of the aftermath on the Show Page, which the police in the pretty small town in Utah between Salt Lake City and Ogden, posted on Twitter.
So as you can understand, there's no "challenge" so outrageous that someone won't agree to try it.
Imagine that you wanted to train a facial recognition algorithm on age-related characteristics and, more specifically, on age progression (e.g., how people are likely to look as they get older). Ideally, you'd want a broad and rigorous dataset with lots of people's pictures. It would help if you knew they were taken a fixed number of years apart — say, 10 years.
Of course she understands that in most cases, those photos are already posted on Facebook, and Facebook "knows" the exact date and time they were uploaded. So is this a plausible scenario, or is she just being paranoid?
Clearly, a fun "challenge" is a great way to get people to post photos of themselves, clearly labeled with dates. "In other words," O'Neill says, "it would help if you had a clean, simple, helpfully labeled set of then-and-now photos." to feed such an algorithm.
Facebook did not start this trend, and the meme uses photos that already exist on Facebook. Facebook gains nothing from this meme (besides reminding us of the questionable fashion trends of 2009). As a reminder, Facebook users can choose to turn facial recognition on or off at any time.
So what do I mean about "Facebook's history"? In 2009, Facebook wasn't concentrating on your "questionable fashion" choices. The Federal Trade Commission found that Facebook made public information that its users had specifically marked private on their Facebook pages. Facebook said all the right things about your private information being private, but that was a lie: they allowed advertisers to access personally identifiable information, even though the company "long maintained that it does not share personal data with advertisers," the New York Times reported at the time.
The FTC didn't fine Facebook, but in a 2011 consent decree, Facebook agreed to keep private the information you posted marked "friends only" unless it had prior, "affirmative express consent" from users to share their information, or it would submit to a penalty of $16,000 a day for each count of breaches in its privacy guarantees which, multiplied by the hundreds of millions of Facebook users, could possibly put the company on the hook for billions of dollars in fines. Upon signing this agreement, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg posted a massive mea culpa, saying that his company made "a bunch of mistakes" in letting advertisers have such private information.
There have been other privacy breaches at Facebook: I'll link to a report from Tech Republic that outlines some of the bigger ones. So when Facebook, in their denial that they started the "photo challenge," didn't deny they were harvesting the data now that it's posted. "Facebook users can choose to turn facial recognition on or off at any time," their statement said, but since when has Facebook followed its own promises in regards to your privacy?
But this begs the question: who the heck is Kate O'Neill? You might think she's a highly experienced online security expert. She isn't. She's a corporate speaker on topics like "Tech Humanism: How Data and Technology Shape the Future of Meaningful Human Experiences", and an author, most recently of the book, Tech Humanist: How you can make technology better for business and better for humans.
And that's why I'm talking about this: you don't have to be an online security expert to see how Facebook might capitalize on your private photographs: once you post them to Facebook — or someone else does — Facebook can, and probably will, exploit them to the fullest whether or not that violates your privacy, just as we've seen them do again and again.
In his book 1984, George Orwell worried about government being a "Big Brother" who watches our every move in a bid to control humanity. Well, we did a pretty good job of keeping government out of our business, but we haven't done much to keep corporations out of our business, as EPIC's Marc Rotenberg pointed out.
Kate O'Neill applied Uncommon Sense to a seemingly fun online viral "challenge" — but the real "challenge" is to you to think about the implications of what you post online. It sure has me thinking about it: while I didn't participate in the Photo Challenge, I know I've certainly shared too much information online. Information that big companies never forget. But thanks to O'Neill's wake-up call, based entirely on her own Uncommon Sense mixed with her society-and-technology background, a lot of people are waking up to how pretty innocent-sounding fun things online have very broad, and sometimes very dark, implications.
One last thing: How did I find out about O'Neill's wake-up call? After her tweet started, as she put it, to "pick up traction," she wrote an Opinion piece for Wired Magazine, titled "Facebook's '10 Year Challenge' Is Just a Harmless Meme — Right?" Wired posted it on their site on January 16th. A few hours later, while perusing the suggested articles in the Google app on my phone while eating lunch, Google suggested that article to me … because it "knows" I'm interested in the intersection of technology and culture.
Which says something huge right there: Google — or really, its algorithms, which have no ethics or conscience — knew I'd be interested in that.
We don't have a Big Brother: we have a lot of them. And they're watching.
I got the point early.
I would make a more extensive comment here but, "They are watching." I am not a number and will not bow to the overloads of tech!
With Randy's extensive and incredibly deep online profile through hundreds of 'This is True' postings, it's a wonder that these new tools do not choke on the amount of data that it has at its disposal. What is really scary is that it was able to parse all of that to provide a relevant tweet.
I didn't follow along and post the 10 year pics of myself for two reasons. I did enjoy looking at friends' pictures and seeing how they changed. But I couldn't get interested enough to take the time to dig out my own 10 year old profile pic (I've been on FB for 10 years). Also, I wondered who started this idea and why? Was it harmless? Or not? Thanks to you I'm questioning a lot more things in my life and wondering why. So thanks to you, I guess I've got more Uncommon Sense than I did before. Or at least I'm using some.
I tend to agree with Jeff Jarvis on this topic. Although I would say that the big Tech/social media companies have somewhat fouled their own nest already so it's really no wonder there's this kind of reaction.
Facebook and Google have been able to determine age differential characters from infancy to old age for quite a while now — they don't need a specific subset of data spanning just 10 years. This was made apparent to me just yesterday after I scanned a whole bunch of my wife's family printed family album photos that featured her from birth to the age of 15. In each case Google was able to recognise her face, and the faces of her family, across a wide variety of ages. I thought this was quite impressive rather than nefarious.
As Jeff points out, the Moral panic and distrust of Big Social (sown by the data grasping blunders of Mark Zukerberg) can have potential serious ramifications for free speech on the Internet. I think its time we all took a pill and recognised this for what it is, a harmless, fun game.
Let's be clear on my point: it's not that this specific meme is nefarious, but rather it's a head's up to think about the ramifications of all such social media "challenges" and trends. A "quiz" asking for "fun details" like, say, your mother's maiden name could just be a way to crack a bank account, which are often "secured" by a "password" consisting of your mother's maiden name (just to name one example). Even if it isn't, now your mother's maiden name is out there for anyone else who wants to target you.
I was listening to a story on NPR (National Public Radio) a few days ago, about Facebook and a tweak they were experimenting with: when a friend posts a picture of you that you didn't like with a caption such as "embarrassing photo", then a response box would appear on your page to the original poster where you could ask that the picture be taken down. They first investigated response rates from a rather aggressive message: "I don't like that photo; take it down", and then compared it with 20 or 30 different messages, from "please" take it down to many different iterations. And they did each one with not hundreds of people (involuntarily) in the test run for each iteration, but with THOUSANDS! And that is not even the most interesting or scary part of the story — the interview continued with the data analysts from Facebook, and the NPR interviewer asked "With all these experiments and tweaks going on at Facebook, what is the chance that any individual who posts on Facebook is an unknowing participant in some experiment you have going on?" And the REALLY scary answer was, "Probably 100%".
I've turned off facial recognition, but anything that vaguely resembles me still gets tagged automatically.
I think we are, for the most part, naive and want to believe that everyone is being honest.
These games where you check off a list of things you've done; been arrested, flew in a plane, been to how many states, all start off with, "This will be fun, play along." That always makes me suspicious, even though it is probably just harmless fun.
It helps to be a little skeptical.
Sorta gives one the chance to consider deleting Facebook completly. And maybe take a look at others too.
10 year challenge criticism is nothing new. Twitter had something similar few years back, called Throwback Tuesday (or Thursday). Same basic principle, post old and current photos and say how old former is. And people claimed same thing, that this is used by various agencies to develop software that will "see" how you aged so far and then predict how you will age in future. Of course back then it was "government", now it's Facebook.
My husband started in IT back in 1967 when he learned programming at the IBM lab, in the day of not only punch cards, but they had to punch their own cards because the card punch machine (to type in your lines of code and each line would be punched on a new card automatically by the machine, like a fancy typewriter) hadn't even been invented yet. So he's been paranoid about the internet since he was on Arpanet. He actually had an Arpanet email address! I've never met anyone else who goes back quite that far.
But I digress. I didn't know him then, but in the nearly 24 years we've been married, I've picked up his online paranoia in large measure. I have a profile on Facebook, that has exactly one picture of me, my profile picture, which is minuscule. I have NEVER posted on my profile. I only go there to look at a couple of friends' pictures of their pets, or when my cousin has news of her husband's health (who's been living with pancreatic cancer for well over 10 years now — he's in that 5% that doesn't die within 2 years, yay!). But again, I simply do not post. Ever. About anything.
I also learned at least 15-20 years ago from my husband that Google knows EVERYTHING about you. Recently I read a story about a man who obtained all information Google had on him — they'll give it to you if you ask them the right way — and it was incredibly long and detailed. They knew everything, absolutely everything! So I've stayed paranoid about posting any personal info online. I only allowed ONE picture of me to be posted, holding a quilt I'd sewn for a quilts-for-wounded-military group; it was on their website for a year or two and then disappeared, and I haven't let another one be put up since. There aren't many pictures of me from the last 20 years anyway; I prefer to be behind the camera, not in front of it. It's paid off.
A good friend of ours about 10 years ago decided she would stop using Google or its subsidiary companies completely because she was afraid they would learn everything about her. My husband and I agreed she was WAY too late; Google already had as much information on her as it was going to get. But we couldn't persuade her of that. She refused to believe it. As far as I know, she's still avoiding Google, for all the good it will do her.
I learned from my husband to check my own name periodically to see what, if any, information is online about me. As a result of mimicking his paranoid habits, there's virtually nothing, and I like it that way. I have a Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest accounts simply so I can read other peoples' entries. Mine are blank accounts, no picture, no text, solely to have access. I think I commented once or twice on a friend's post about a cute pet, but that was it here or there.
Of course, as I learned a few years ago, there's a marketing program, Acxiom, that has all the information about me gleaned via my shopping habits that I'm sure Google and Facebook have acquired in spite of my online paranoia. I discovered this program from a musician, Vienna Teng, who wrote a song to it that I discovered, "Hymn to Acxiom." She has a friend whose husband works there, and in a live performance recorded and online said it was absolutely terrifying what it knew about her friends! So I assume they have everything about me, too, even though I've never KNOWINGLY interacted with it — but it's behind so many online marketing websites that I'm sure I've got a huge entry in its database. One purchase online and my paranoia has been toast. So efforts to stay unknown online have all been for naught, as it turns out!
Since I didn't learn about Acxiom until it was far too late to do anything about it, at this point I think the only way to avoid being tracked by SOMETHING is to make all purchases in cash, never even turn on a computer or a phone or anything else electronic — become a genuine Luddite — and live in a cabin in the mountains somewhere with no contact with any type of publicly provided utility. Otherwise, you're toast! So I've developed a fatalistic attitude about it. It's the way our society is, and I'm too small by myself to change it. I just avoid putting any personal information anywhere deliberately, and call that the best I can do!

Vikram�s �Anniyan� hit in Bollywood!!!
Last weekend, the Hindi dubbed version of director Shankar�s Tamil film �Anniyan� was released. Vikram went to Mumbai to promote the film�s release. He was seen on almost all the TV channels, talking about the film and his career.
The film�s producer has announced that the Hindi version, �Aparichit�, has opened well.
Suddenly, everybody is curious about Vikram�s next film, �Bheema�, which is yet another big-budget extravaganza, starring Nana Patekar and Trisha. This is Nana�s first film in Tamil. It is rumored that he was paid a massive Rs 2 Crores to star in the film.
The producer of this film isn�t complaining about the enormous fee because he is now convinced that Vikram�s films will have a good market in Bollywood too in future. Most of his films do very good business in Kerala. The Telugu dubbed versions are extremely popular in Andhra Pradesh. Now, Vikram is going to enter Bollywood in a big way.

Q: sencha extjs run when storemanager has finished loading? While developping an application I run some code on application launch:
Ext.application({
    extend: 'TestApp.Application',

    name: 'TestApp',

    requires: [
        'TestApp.*'
    ],

    // The name of the initial view to create.
    launch: async function () {
        const store_org = Ext.getStore('Organizations');
        const store_event = Ext.getStore('Events');
        //more stuff here
    }
});

Both stores are well defined:
Ext.define('TestApp.store.Organization', {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Store',
    storeId: 'Organizations',
    alias: 'store.organizations',

    model: 'TestApp.model.Organization',
    autoLoad: true,

    pageSize: 0,

    proxy: {
        type: 'ajax',
        url: TestApp.util.Config.getHost() + '/organization/get-organizations',
        withCredentials: true,
        reader: {
            type: 'json',
            rootProperty: '',
        },
    },
});

I do notice however that while launching the Ext.getStore() function always returns undefined for any store. Is there any way I can "delay" this to the point where the storemanager has fully loaded and these stores do no longer return undefined? (The stores themselves won't be filled with data...).

A: Just add this to the Ext.application class or to the TestApp.application (which is better)
stores:['TestApp.store.Organization'],

this is an array of all your stores,so if you need to add more just use a comma and write the class path name of the new file
Here is a working example Fiddle

I'm one of those adults who doesn't have an up-to-date will or a signed Medical Power of Attorney. I know better, and now, I'm going to take a lesson from the Champ, Muhammad Ali. His funeral was ten years in the making. An Ali family spokesperson said the boxing legend, acclaimed civil rights icon, and humanitarian personally planned the details of his funeral over a ten-year period. Because I work at a hospice and my husband is a pastor, I'm frequently in the know about the end-of-life wishes of elder friends. Here's the thing though, this task is not just for the elderly.
While it may feel scary or overwhelming to think about our own deaths, asking yourself basic questions about how and where you'd want to die is a critical first step. Would you prefer to be at home? Do you envision attempts to keep you from dying with resuscitation and life support measures or do you prefer a natural death? These are not easy conversations to have with our loved ones. But they are necessary ones if we want to leave this world on our own terms and ease the burden loved ones will face when it's our time to go.
According the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, the very people we expect to help guide us through these conversations are not well prepared. A recent national poll found that while almost all doctors think having end-of-life conversations with their patients are important, nearly half said they frequently or sometimes feel unsure of what to say and less than one-third reported having had any formal training specifically on talking with patients and their families about end-of-life care. Because our medical culture default is set up first to keep people alive at all costs. Conversations about how to die can be seen as going in opposition to that cultural norm.
Identify a legal surrogate decision maker. This person is someone you trust to follow your wishes if ever you are unable to communicate. Any adult can serve as your surrogate regardless of whether they are related to you or not.
Next, familiarize yourself with palliative and hospice care. Palliative medical care focuses on helping seriously ill patients and their families and provides and extra layer of support to address symptoms and the stress of being ill during any phase of treatment.
Hospice utilizes palliative care, plus it adds additional end-of-life medical, social, emotional and spiritual support for patients who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness and their families. Hospice care can be provided at home, in an assisted living community, or in an inpatient care setting. Most people do not want to die in a hospital. However, when ill, all roads lead to hospitalization and once in the hospital, many barriers can prevent a transition home. It's important that loved ones and healthcare providers know your preference in advance.
Most of us won't need to spend 10 years planning as Ali did. But we need to think carefully about our values and wishes and, most importantly, we need to share our wishes with loved ones.

Q: Can I use Spring boot to enable my Selenium Web Driver to run? I am currently developing crawling for websites that require login functions.
I think the site is not just a site where you can log in when you import cookies and insert them, but rather a part where you have to let users enter their IDs and passwords.
The structure of my spring boot is as follows.

*

*input tag for entering accessible URLs after login

*Login Button
At this point, when you press the login button, the Web Driver opens on the user's side, receives the user's input, processes the login, and then attempts to create a service that crawls URL 1.
Is this possible?

A: Spring boot is a server-side framework (for back-end development). You can start WebDriver within your logic but certainly not on a client side. If you could easily start processes on a client side that would be a great security whole.
What you can do is to generate Selenium script and return it with the instructions how to run that script with a WebDriver.
P.S. - It is also worth looking into browser addons development articles that would probably make the user experience better.

Fusion solar san diego
Solar energy is a proven, clean and affordable source of energy for your home. Recent improvements in the manufacture of photovoltaic panels used to convert free, inexhaustible solar energy from the sun have made home solar energy a viable option for many consumers, it is NOT a scam.
How long does it take for solar panels to pay for themselves?
It can take anywhere between 15 and 26 years to recover these costs for a typical home – depending on where you live, how much electricity you use and what you get paid under the smart export guarantee.
How many years can I claim solar tax credit?
As long as you own your solar energy system, you are entitled to a tax deduction for investments in solar energy. Even if you do not have sufficient tax liability to claim the entire credit in one year, you can "reverse" the remaining credits to future years as long as the tax deduction is valid.
What happens if SolarCity goes out of business?
If your solar cell company crashes, your O&M provider will continue to service and repair your solar energy system just as your original installer would, so you never have to worry about getting solar cell support when needed.
Why Solar is a ripoff?
Businesses have deceived consumers about the true cost of installing solar panels, provided poor workmanship and left homeowners with higher supply costs, all the while forcing them to sign non-compliant contracts that do not allow them to make use of it.
What is the catch with solar panels?
But the catch is that they require you to enter into a solar lease or power purchase agreement (PPA). These deals entice people with a free way to go on solar cells. But when you examine the contracts, they strongly favor the solar installer over the system's 25-year lifespan.
Is free solar panels a con?
Are free solar panels a scam? No, free solar panels are not a scam. Once the solar panels are installed on your roof at no cost to you, you can use the clean energy the system produces to power your home and lower your electricity bill.
What solar company has the best reviews?
Vivint Solar: Best Overall Vivint Solar offers comprehensive warranties, a straightforward installation process and four purchasing plans that make them the best overall solar cell provider.
Are Tesla solar tiles worth it?
A Tesla sunroof is more expensive than having your roof replaced and solar panels installed. But if you really like the look of the sunroof, it might be worth it for you. Tesla has a history of being unreliable when it comes to installing the sunroof, even canceling orders made many years ago.
What is the best solar stock to buy?
Best solar cell storage for 2021
ReneSola Ltd (NYSE: SOL) Number of hedge fund holders: 3. …
Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MAXN) …

Positivism and Metaphysics
Positivism is a philosophy of science based on the view that information derived from logical and mathematical treatments and reports of sensory experience is the exclusive source of all authoritative knowledge, and that there is valid knowledge (truth) only in scientific knowledge. Verified data received from the senses are known as empirical evidence. This view holds that society, like the physical world, operates according to general laws. Introspective and intuitive knowledge is rejected. Although the positivist approach has been a recurrent theme in the history of Western thought, the modern sense of the approach was developed by the philosopher and founding sociologist Auguste Comte in the early 19th century. Comte argued that, much as the physical world operates according to gravity and other absolute laws, so also does society.
Metaphysics is a traditional branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world that encompasses it, although the term is not easily defined. Traditionally, metaphysics attempts to answer two basic questions in the broadest possible terms:
1.What is ultimately there?
2.What is it like
http://www.cosmolearning.com/documentaries/bryan-magee-talks-to-aj-ayer-about-logical-positivism-and-its-legacy-875/1/
"In spite of difference of soil and climate, of language and manners, of laws and customs, in spite of things silently gone out of mind and things violently destroyed, the Poet binds together by passion and knowledge the vast empire of human society, as it is spread over the whole earth, and over all time. The objects of the Poet's thoughts are every where; though the eyes and senses of man are, it is true, his favorite guides, yet he will follow wheresoever he can find an atmosphere of sensation in which to move his wings. Poetry is the first and last of all knowledge--it is as immortal as the heart of man."
--William Wordsworth, "Preface to Lyrical Ballads"

An Interview with Micki Marlo - Part Two
Kliph Nesteroff: You worked a bunch with cigar chomping comedian Alan King. How did you first get to know Alan King and what do you recall about working with him?
Micki Marlo: We did a lot of club dates together through the William Morris Agency. I opened for him. He always chose the person he would work with and he very often chose me. I worked with him a lot. He paid for the opening act and he paid well. That's what I know about Alan King other than the fact that he loved strippers. He loved strippers. And he was an exquisitely dressed man. He dressed so beautifully, so very well tailored. That's what I remember about him. He wasn't terribly chatty, but he was a good man.
Kliph Nesteroff: And it sounds like you also had a pleasant relationship with Joey Bishop, but he was known for being quite moody.
Micki Marlo: He loved exotic dancers. The word got around the room, by the room I mean the waitresses and the waiters and the inside people, that he loved exotic dancers with dirty feet. Why I don't know. Never figured that out. Maybe I shouldn't be telling you these things! But he was a good man and I didn't know any other side of him.
Kliph Nesteroff: There's a great photo of you hanging out with a bunch of well-known comedians. In the shot is Henny Youngman...
Micki Marlo: Henny was my first husband's closest friend. Henny Youngman was very generous and he would always tip the agent. Henny knew the right things to do. He was a schmeer. A pay-off. A slide. Joe Wolfson was my main agent at William Morris and then Lee Solomon started to blossom and became a threat. Joe Wolfson didn't like my marrying Lee, but that's that.
Kliph Nesteroff: Woody Woodbury was with Joe Wolfson.
Micki Marlo: Oh, yes. He opened for me at The Vagabond Club. I worked with The Vagabonds also and they beat me for seven hundred and fifty dollars and they beat Tony Bennett for fifteen hundred. They said, "Don't cash the cheque now. Cash it when you get home!" They did the same thing to Tony Bennett (laughs).
Kliph Nesteroff: Was their club doing so poorly that they couldn't afford to pay the performers or were they simply shady hucksters?
Micki Marlo: I think their money was being used in other ways. The club was packed every night for the two weeks I worked there. It was jammed. I'm sure it was just as jammed for Tony Bennett and it was a hot club at the time and I think they used their money in other ways. They were users and abusers and we didn't get paid. I guess they chose who they would pay. I don't know, I'm just guessing.
Kliph Nesteroff: The Vagabond Club was the one with The Arthur Godfrey Room.
Micki Marlo: Yes, Arthur Godfrey was either behind them or picked them up from that room. He used them quite a lot and they got enough money to open up a club or something like that.
Kliph Nesteroff: How about Milton Berle?
Micki Marlo: Milton was great. Milton was very welcoming, very kind, wanted me to work with him for less money than everyone else was paying. He was a schnorrer. But it was understandable after reading some of his books, he had hard times coming up. He was a little tight-fisted as far as I was concerned. My husband Bobby Mayo, God rest him, did about twenty-five shows with Milton Berle. He did forty-seven shows for Ed Sullivan. He was one of the very first acts to do The Ed Sullivan Show. The show was on CBS. He did it forty-seven times. Ed used The Mayo Brothers all the time and came to see us work. And Milton got into everybody's act.
He loved The Mayo Brothers and used them often. They were known for dancing on tables. They could dance anywhere in the world - even on the sand. On one of the last shows that they did with Milton... Milton got on and he shoved my husband and his brother. My husband didn't like it. Milton had hurt him by shoving his elbow in his thigh. So he shoved Milton back and knocked him off of something and they went to black and that was the end of them on Milton Berle. But after that Milton would still invite us out to dinner and would make a big fuss over us.
Kliph Nesteroff: You performed at The Copacabana. What was it like working for Jules Podell?
Micki Marlo: Yes, well, I never really had much to say to him. He was standing there when I came from the dressing room to do my spot. I had little or nothing to say to him. My girlfriend married one of his bouncers, Vincent Lombardo. She's Meyer Lansky's daughter. Sandy Lansky.
Kliph Nesteroff: Now, someone that did have a lot to do with Jules Podell and The Copacabana was Paul Anka. How did you go from Capitol Records to ABC Paramount where Paul Anka was the young hotshot writing and producing and in charge of so much?
Micki Marlo: I left Capitol Records for various reasons. One of which was that I was going to do a Broadway show, The Ziegfeld Follies of 1957. ABC Paramount wanted to sign me. They had just opened their recording company and they wanted me as their first artist. They signed me and brought me in for a meeting to discuss which songs I would record. They brought Paul Anka in to write a couple of my songs and to produce the singles. He was fifteen years old at the time. He was a very talented man. I had their first hit. A semi-hit. It was Paul's first hit record. He became the big star that he is and he's a most talented writer. I sat there and listened to him and answered the questions put to me. "Uh huh. Yes. That's right. Okay." He wrote one song called Okay, That's It and the other side was That's Right. Whatever I said in response he made a song out of it! That was kind of cute. I also did a Ray Charles recording of Ain't That Love. I had a hit with that song and Ray Charles didn't.
Kliph Nesteroff: The same photo that has you and Henny Youngman also features comedian Al Kelly, the king of double talk.
Micki Marlo: Yeah, he was great and he was a good friend of Lee Solomon. Every night after the show we'd go to Lindy's. There was a big center table and a man named Jager would be the waiter. All the comedians would sit there and I would be one of the few females that would sit at the table with all the comedians. Al Kelly would always address me in double talk. I guess the comics liked me because I was a great laugher. I loved to laugh and I loved comedy. I would double over half the time. When I stood up I was taller than Al Kelly.
Kliph Nesteroff: Also in the photo is Red Buttons.
Micki Marlo: Red was great. I loved Red. I wanted to date him. I begged Jan [Murray] to please fix us up. Jan said, "No way! He's a cheapskate. You'll never be happy with him."
Kliph Nesteroff: You are in an episode of Car 54, Where Are You with Jan Murray.
Micki Marlo: Yes, with Jan Murray. That was one of their best episodes and when they play Car 54 Where Are You, they always show that one.
Kliph Nesteroff: This is the episode where Jan Murray goes crazy because they keep singing the same song over and over.
Micki Marlo: Yes. "Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom." Something like that.
Kliph Nesteroff: What was your role?
Micki Marlo: Not much. I just brought some papers out and nodded and smiled. I never dressed sexually except onstage, when I would wear low cut gowns. Had a tiny waistline. But I always wore high necks and longsleeves. My mother would always say, "Why you always wearing high necks and longsleeves? You look like Kate Smith." That's the way I dressed. I was a fashion model and worked for Anne Fogarty who created some of the greatest designs of her time; high necked, long sleeves and very full blossomy skirts. So that was my look and that's what I wore on Car 54, Where Are You.
Kliph Nesteroff: You appeared with Tennessee Ernie Ford on his show. How did that come about?
Micki Marlo: That was very nice. They wanted to know if I wanted to be paid with a cheque or with RCA [products]. My folks didn't have a television set. So I chose a television set. Molly Bee was a favorite female on the show and I was on a couple of times to replace Molly Bee.
Kliph Nesteroff: You appeared on What's My Line as a mystery guest?
Micki Marlo: Yes. I did one appearance and nobody guessed me (laughs). I remember little or nothing about it. I was very unhappy that nobody knew who I was.
Kliph Nesteroff: I've never seen that segment, but most episodes survive... it must be out there somewhere.
Micki Marlo: Steve Allen was so unhappy that all of his shows had been erased. Some young man came in to do some copy work I guess and he erased all of Steve Allen's shows. That was his biggest heartbreak.
Kliph Nesteroff: There isn't too much of Jan Murray's Charge Account that survives either - is there?
Micki Marlo: No and Jan owned the show, funnily enough. That was such a great show to work on because I sang on it and I did the warm-up. I remember once the microphones went out and Jan said, "You don't need it! You can sing without it." It was always great fun. Jan was great and his wife Toni was a great gal also.
Kliph Nesteroff: Was Charge Account done live?
Micki Marlo: No, it was not done live. It was live on tape. We taped five shows a day on Saturday and Sunday for two weeks and then we would do club dates the rest of the time. We worked The Concord a lot in the mountains. That's where I met Johnnie Ray. My girlfriend, Marilyn Morrison, her father owned The Mocambo, she married Johnnie Ray. We used to go out together when Johnnie was working New York. He was the sweetest, most lovingest, guy in the world.
Kliph Nesteroff: He had a relationship with Dorothy Kilgallen.
Micki Marlo: I didn't know about that, but I knew that Dorothy's husband came into a shoe store where I was and bought high heels for himself.
Kliph Nesteroff: (laughs) Dick Kollmar.
Micki Marlo: Yes, they were high-heeled shoes with rhinestones all over the vamp and the heels.
Kliph Nesteroff: The announcer on Charge Account was Bill Wendell.
Micki Marlo: Yes, Bill Wendell and my husband became great friends. They used to play cards between the shows. He taught Bill how to golf. Bill was six foot four and Bobby taught him how to play golf. They were fast friends for many, many years and he lived in Yonkers as well.
Kliph Nesteroff: Milton Delugg was the musical director.
Micki Marlo: Yes, the greatest. He was very good. He used to call his fingers bananas. He had very long fingers, but he was slight in build, not much taller than I. Milton did a recording session for me. He partnered with Bud Granoff for many years in the publishing business. He put up the money for me for the recording session. Bud was married to Kitty Kallen who sang Little Things Mean a Lot. He was very good-hearted and did all the arrangements for me. He's still around and he has four sides that he did with me that were never released. I would love to get my hands on them so I could re-release them!
Kliph Nesteroff: The name of someone else that appeared on Charge Account was Maureen Arthur.
Micki Marlo: Maureen Arthur was Jan's first sidekick. She left to do "bigger and better things" and I only ever saw her on one episode of a television show and that was all we ever saw of her.
Kliph Nesteroff: You were her replacement?
Micki Marlo: Yes.
Kliph Nesteroff: How about Morgan Schmitter?
Micki Marlo: Oh, Dean Schmitter. He was the man whom they asked if the answers to the questions were right or not. He was like the professor. They called him Dean as he acted as a Dean, a know-it-all. Very sweet. He always used to ask me to sing "I'm Getting Married in the Morning! Ding Dong the Bells Are Gonna Chime!"
Kliph Nesteroff: We talked about Johnny Carson last time and how he came to see you backstage. Later on you did his Tonight Show...
Micki Marlo: We went to dinner a few times together. He, Ed McMahon and I. He was sweet. He was good. He was a very big drinker and I'm sure everyone knows about that. We went out with a group of people. Vaughn Meader was one of the eight or nine people we went out with one night. We went to Jilly's. Jilly's had a nightclub. You know Jilly's? Vaughn Meader tried to hypnotize everybody. Well, he couldn't hypnotize me cause I'm a strong-minded Capricorn. He tried to hypnotize Johnny. Johnny was already... not half in the bag, but right in the bag! He sat there like a mummy, stiff, straight as a board and Vaughn couldn't get through to him either. Johnny used to like to eat at The South Pacific Restaurant and Sardi's, of course, where my picture hung for a while. And that's about it.
Kliph Nesteroff: You got to know Frank Sinatra as well.
Micki Marlo: Yes. Frank and I went on a publicity date to a nightclub where Mary Healy and, I forget her husband's name, were performing.
Kliph Nesteroff: Peter Lind Hayes.
Micki Marlo: Peter Lind Hayes, yes, thank you. Been a long time since I have heard his name. So we're sitting ringside and there was a quiet moment in their act and Frank says, "Ring-a-ding-ding!" I turned to him and I said, "Would you be quiet? You're embarrassing me!" He stayed quiet after that. He introduced me from the stage at The Copacabana on his opening night and did not introduce a lot of other people. There were great stars in the audience that evening.
Kliph Nesteroff: And you were one of 'em.

Very interesting woman, and she was absolutely as drop-dead gorgeous as she could possibly be. Can't say I recall hearing of her and don't understand how that can be, especially given that unusual name, although I have a feeling that maybe something will come back to me. Extremely interesting interview. I'm going straight to Part 1 right now, which I haven't read yet.

WOW! Micki Marlo has always been one of my favorite female vocalists so this interview really is a great thrill to read. I was curious tho about something. Have you ever considered possibly talking with Eydie Gorme? She was of course a big star during the classic age of television. And I've never read an interview where she really went in-depth about her solo career. It would be another charming & entertaining interview especially with your knowledge and questions. Plus I'm sure her stories would be priceless!
