Comedian Adam Conover Says the Art Market Is a Scam. Here's What He Gets Right—and Wrong.
Is he aiming for accuracy, or just truthiness?
Brian Boucher, August 10, 2017

Is the art market no more than a playground for snobs and crooks? The comedian Adam Conover certainly thinks so. He makes the case in a five-minute video released yesterday as the latest in his web series "Adam Ruins Everything." The segment, dripping with a Morley Safer-worthy level of contempt for the art world, has already exceeded one million views.
Conover's thrust is that the art market is hopelessly corrupt, and manipulated by a tiny cabal of oily back-room wheeler-dealers who not only determine the price of art and rig the system to enrich themselves—they also define "what art is."
Some of Conover's claims—which echo many complaints lobbed at the art world in recent years—are better-researched than others. A principal problem with the video is that "the art market" is described as a monolith, but most in the art world recognize that "the art market" is in fact a constellation of mini-markets, and that the business of a mom-and-pop shop bears little resemblance to that of an international behemoth like Gagosian. (Likewise, the stock market isn't only populated by corporate raiders, inside traders, and Apple but also hundreds of millions of striving businesses operating with public investment.) The climactic claim that the corrupt market determines "what art is" also discounts the many practices that aim to wriggle free of capital (see: social practice, performance art, etc.)
But he's not always wrong. Below, we consider a handful of the creatively coiffed comedian's claims.
1. Big Galleries Keep Prices Secret So They Can Change Them Depending on Who the Buyer Is.
Businesses in New York—including art galleries—are required by law to "conspicuously display" prices for their goods. In fact, hardly any Gotham galleries do so, though lawmakers have tried to crack down on this. That said, some galleries are open about money and will post, or at least disclose, prices when asked. (Still, many inflate the sticker price by 20 percent and then knock it down to make the buyer feel he or she is getting a deal.)
As for adjusting what they charge for different customers, galleries do offer varying discounts, and some buyers—a museum, say, or a collector like Eli Broad with a reputation for buying an artist's work long-term and in-depth—are more desirable than others.
Truth quotient: Mostly true.
2. Galleries Discriminate Against Novice Collectors… Like Poor Little Harry Potter.
To make the case that dealers can be less than welcoming to potential buyers who aren't part of a villainous secret society of art profiteers, Conover chooses the odd example of Daniel Radcliffe, who was once spurned when he sought to buy a work of art, Conover alleges, citing a report in the New York Observer. But Conover didn't read the whole story. As Radcliffe told the Guardian (and as cited by the Observer), the artist in question, Jim Hodges, intervened and insisted the gallery sell to him. Also, a multimillionaire actor as the little guy? Again, strange choice.
Truth quotient: Mostly bogus.
3. Auction Bidding Is All a Lie, Because Major Auction Houses "Straight-Up Pay People to Bid" and Auctioneers Call Out Fake "Chandelier Bids."
Yes, top-dollar auction sales have become complicated transactions, and a third party will sometimes privately make a bid on a work of art before the sale. If the work ends up selling above that price, the third party gets a percentage of the upside. (This arrangement is known as a "third-party guarantee.") But even if it does open up the door to the kind of arcane yet lucrative financial machinations that wealthy financiers specialize in, it's a bit drier and less "straight-up" than the cartoon nefariousness portrayed in the video.
That said, the practice of "chandelier bidding," in which an auctioneer calls out fake bids during a live sale, is very much real. As an auctioneer inches closer to the minimum price for which a seller has agreed to part with a work (known as a "reserve"), he may point to invisible eager bidders in the back of the room. It's all part of an effort to foster drama and conceal the true reserve price, which auction houses say helps the consignor get the best possible outcome.
Both practices have been covered extensively in the New York Times, and a New York State senator once introduced legislation to outlaw chandelier bidding.
Buyers at these high levels are generally familiar with what's happening—and the fine print at the back of the sales catalogues does acknowledge both these practices. But to a neophyte, such hieroglyphics and theatrics would legitimately seem impenetrable, and maybe a little sketchy.
(Sotheby's and Christie's both declined to comment.)
Truth quotient: True at stratospheric price levels, otherwise mostly bogus.

4. Auction Houses Are a Great Place for Crooks to Defraud the Government and Launder Dirty Money.
True, despite auction houses' best efforts (and they have phalanxes of lawyers trying to keep them out of trouble), some bad actors do buy art with dirty money. The US Department of Justice last year brought a case against Malaysian tycoon Jho Low, alleging that he bought $137 million worth of art at auction, including a Basquiat and a Monet, with funds embezzled from the Malaysian government.
Conover asserts that collectors who donate artworks to museums are bad actors, too—they get a tax write-off for charitable donations, and, crucially, he says they can claim whatever value they want for the artworks on their tax forms. But the IRS isn't stupid, and has increasingly scrutinized these valuations. Private museums, which offer tax benefits to their owner-donors, have also come under scrutiny.
Truth quotient: Partially correct, partly seriously bogus.

5. You Can Buy Art on the Street That's Just as Good as What You Could Buy in a Gallery. But Those Artists "Aren't Allowed to Succeed."
You can also find gold nuggets in a riverbed, but considering the time it takes to find the right riverbed and learn the techniques for locating the gold, years of your life could have passed by. Galleries are businesses run by specialists whose primary value proposition is that they know who good artists are, have relationships with them, and can cut through the chaff to get the cream of the cream.
Yes, the art world, like many businesses that serve the one percent, runs on nepotism and connections. But these art dealers (and curators) are also constantly on the lookout for undiscovered talent. The clubbiness of the art market is more often the result of laziness or lack of resources than a nefarious pyramid scheme; tastemakers often fall back on their existing networks rather than taking the considerably more difficult path of looking beyond them. That said, true talent is rare, and sometimes takes a long time to be properly recognized, either by museums or the art market. Jean-Michel Basquiat started out as a graffiti writer, and now his works can sell at auction for upward of $110 million. Why wouldn't dealers create a million art stars from thin air, if they were such skilled manipulators?
Truth quotient: Bogus.
"So the fine art world is all a lie, and it's all about money, and who gets into this stupid, snobby club," says Conover's foil in the video, a bright-eyed-until-disillusioned artist, at the video's end. Intones Conover, "More or less."
So, are Conover's diagnoses on the money?
Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Now you see me, now you don't – the privacy of content creators.
Trigger warning: domestic violence.
There are only few of us who cannot relate to any fanbases or groups supporting online creators and artists. With all the youtubers, influencers, and other social media stars that easily took over the 2010s, the borders between the fans and "the stars" have become more and more blurred, perhaps more than anyone has ever anticipated. The shared feelings of belonging, community, and support, as well as admiration directed towards certain creators tend to make people feel more connected, as if the people we see on screen are much more than just content creators.
I vividly remember from my teenage days how certain fandoms grew to the point of breaking boundaries, making said creators feel unsafe and threatened – often finding out and publishing things that they themselves did not know or did not want others to know and, consequently, feeling entitled and unashamed to ask for more and expect more.
the "findings" of Directioners in the early 2010s.
While the above image presents the "findings" of One Direction, an extremely popular boybands', fans, similar things have been uncovered about famous Youtubers and Influencers, often forcing said people to "out" themselves against their will or generally feel like their private life has been infiltrated.
However, such things have been significantly more popular in the early 2010s, when the overall craze about boybands and internet stars started. Although certain fandoms still edge the borders of privacy, it appears that there is overall more understanding (although DEFINITELY not a complete understanding) that internet celebrities lead their own, private lives and not everything is supposed to be shared with the fans, which brings me to the question – how much do we really know about the people whose content we often consume without thinking? And how much, in fact, should we know?
Twitch streamer and OnlyFans creator Amouranth.
This question, consequently, brings me to Amouranth, a popular twitch streamer and OnlyFans creator. Seemingly successful, happy and quite well off – having more than 6 million followers on twitch and quite a significant following over other platforms as well, the streamer has recently revealed a part of her life that no one had expected – an abusive, exploitative marriage and the strain that it had taken on her. Just a tad bit more than a month ago, the woman disclosed a variety of threats, ranging anywhere from taking "all her money" and "killing her dogs", that she received from her husband. Similarly, the Siragusa (last name of the streamer), has revealed abuse in terms of her filming schedule, with her husband pushing her to stream for hours and seeing the "Hot Tub" category as an opportunity to exploit the young woman even further.
@daily_clips.t
😱😥😥😥😥 …… #amouranth #clips #twitch #husband #fyp
♬ son original – Daily Clips 👑
Consequently, with certain fandoms bordering the border of proper boundaries and interaction, it is important to mention that the streamer had received undeniable support and affection from her fans (aside from the few who felt "betrayed" by her marriage).
However, despite the support, one thing is clear – there is so much that is left unknown and unseen, emphasizing the idea that we actually know very little about those we admire. Nonetheless, that should not be an in invitation to look even further into celebrities' lives, but rather a call to be open and willing to consider that not everything is as seen on the screen – someone who's seemingly happy and content, may actually not enjoy the long hours spent in a hot tub trying to get donations and views. However, it is important to remember that although we, as fans, are not entitled to people's personal lives, the continuous support and admiration can have a significantly positive impact on people, as long as it does not cross the boundaries between private and public.

LunarTonn says:
Thank you for your post! And I absolutely agree with your point. Being (hardcore/ loyal) fans does not give us the right to be more intrusive than the creators let us be and there should be a boundary. Although, the boundary is, in my opinion, rather subjective and can change depending on the situation.
Although the boundary's vagueness can help or save the creators' lives, it is atrocious how often creators do not feel safe or comfortable in their own homes and are stalked to the point of having their fans trespassing or robbing. They shouldn't be treated as property and have their privacy disregarded, just because they co-called "owe" their fame to your (their fans') support.
E.J.KWON says:
Thank you for interesting post. I really agree about your thinking. Many popular celebrities are suffering from that kinds of problems. Some fans buy their star's phone number and torment him/her, and even some 'criminals' visit star's house. Since many infos are shown in online world, it seems that the boundary of privacy is being vague.Therefore, it can be said that it will be more intimate with fans, but it seems that it is easy to expose personal information. Fans should have a attitude to respect the daily life, for sure.
Milktea says:
Thanks for your insightful post. Just like the commenters above I absolutely agree with your statements. This makes me think about the K-pop industry. Fans get really invested in parasocial relationships and often take it too far, such as stalking and trespassing. But even the smaller things are often critiqued by fans. Such as the love lives of idols. I have a friend who was actually angry that EXO's Chen got married and had a kid. Like, calm down girl. Let the man have his happiness. It feels like the idols' happiness should be sacrificed for the fans' happiness. And this is so disrespectful towards idols.
millaraffaelli says:
Thank you for writing about this! I also was interested in Amouranth's situation, not even as a supporter of her content myself (although I think she's really cool), but just because it became so public within the sphere of Twitch and live streaming.
I think that blurring the line between what is private and what is public is a bit dangerous, especially with social media having more reahc into private lives nowadays. In hindsight, all early-2010s fans of One Direction and the like were very parasocial-esque (me included). I wonder how far this phenomenon is going to go really.
Shiwi says:
Hi Thank you for the post, and agreeing with the commenters before me. celebrities and popular influencers do have it rough with fans and reporters. Being under watch with cameras can be really stressful, especially with hackers or fans who can retrieve information from you and publicize it. There is more of a dark side to their private lives, which most fans do not see since it is not recorded. They are seen as property since their whole career is based on being known to the public, however, that does not mean that they don't deserve their own privacy.
okcomputer says:
Thank you for the post! I agree with all the comments. t should certainly be up to celebrities how much information they want to share to the public. I think a lot of people think that some celebrity's role as 'entertainers' extends to their personal life, and expect them to date certain people or do certain things as if they live to entertain us (in line with Shiwi's comment above).
I really wonder how celebrities manage knowing that so many people can analyse every little movement, their posts and be able find their location, etc. I'm particularly thinking of the phandom (Dan and Phil) several years ago and how so many little details in their videos were interpreted by fans to make it look like they were dating even though that is information they are allowed to rightfully keep to themselves but were forced to address to keep the phandom happy.

Q: (In)sufficient statistics I have the following problem. I am given a random sample $X_1, X_2, \dots X_n$, which follows a distribution with density function $f_\theta (x) = \frac{ e^\frac{x}{\theta}}{\theta (e-1)},  \hspace{0.1cm} 0\leq x \leq \theta$. They asked me two questions:
Which is a sufficient statistic for $\theta$? Is the maximum likelihood estimator a sufficient statistic for $\theta$?

I have find the maximun likelihood estimator which is the maximum, $X_{(n)}$. I think it's not sufficient because I wasn't able to prove it by the factorisation theorem. Which tools can I use to prove that a given statistic is not sufficient? Is there a natural way to find a sufficient statistic?
Thanks in advance

A: Factorisation theorem give nesessary and sufficient conditions for sufficiency, so impossibility to write likelihood function in the product form implies that statistics is not sufficient. To prove it, one can take two different values of $\theta$ and consider the ratio
$$
\frac{f_{\theta_1}(X_1,\ldots,X_n)}{f_{\theta_2}(X_1,\ldots,X_n)}
$$
which should be a function of $\theta_1,\theta_2$ which depends on samples only through sufficient statistics.
$$
f_\theta (X_1,\ldots,X_n) = \frac{ e^\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{\theta}}{\theta^n (e-1)^n}\mathbf 1_{\{0\leq X_{(1)}\}}\mathbf 1_{\{X_{(n)} \leq \theta\}}
$$
On the event $\{0\leq X_{(1)}\leq X_{(n)}\leq \min(\theta_1,\theta_2)\}$, the ratio of likelihood functions equals to
$$
\frac{f_{\theta_1}(X_1,\ldots,X_n)}{f_{\theta_2}(X_1,\ldots,X_n)} =\frac{\theta_2^n}{\theta_1^n} e^{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i\left(\frac{1}{\theta_1}-\frac{1}{\theta_2}\right)}.
$$
If this ratio depends on samples only through statistics $X_{(n)}$, then for two different samples $x_1,\ldots, x_n$ and $y_1,\ldots, y_n$ with the same value of $x_{(n)}=y_{(n)}$, this ratio should be the same. But this is not the case: for samples with different sums but equal maximal values this ratio differ.
Sure, the statistics $(\bar X, X_{(n)})$ is minimal sufficient here.

Decorating for Valentine's day is always great motivation for taking down and storing all those Christmas decorations (Which, if you haven't done so already its time to call me!). Christmas is so fun and magical and the decorations really make a home beautiful. But, after all the presents are opened and the wine is gone, January can be a bit dismal with. Unless you go strait into embracing the next holiday: Valentine's Day! Decorating for this special day can always be fun and add a pop of color around your house and your heart.
When you are ready to show the love around your house, here is a great NO-SEW project you can even do with the kids!
I started by raiding my fabric bin for a base material for the flags and reds or pinks for the letters. I found some natural toned burlap and T-shirt material. I stuck with plain/solid T-shirt material since the burlap has great texture and it doesn't fray.
I measured out the base of the flag to be around 8 inches wide with a height of 11 inches. This is what worked for the piece of fabric and the size I thought they should be. These numbers are negotiable. I used pinking shears to cut the edges of the flags.
I cut out 6 flags to accommodate "L-O-V-E" with 2 heart flags on the flanks.
Then I cut out the letters. Super simple: measured the height and width so the letters would fit on the flag. *Note that different letters fit differently within the triangle so make sure they all start and end at the same level on the flag, otherwise the whole presentation looks a bit wonky.
I asked the girls for help when I started cutting out the hearts. They are superstars at scissor use so first we practiced making hearts with paper and then they helped me pick out scraps for the fabric hearts. I didn't let them take a crack at my sewing scissors just yet! They also got to create the design layout for how all the hearts would appear on the flags. I administered the hotglue for the flags and they slapped on the hearts and letters. I found a great ribbon to use to attach the flags: it was about 6′ long but 1.5″ wide. Make sure you have slack on the sides to hang. Since some of the top of the flags had to be cut I folded the ribbon over the front and back of the top of the flags and glued them in place in the fold, however I did not fold the ribbon in half the entire length.
After all the glueing was complete, I asked the girlies to find a spot to hang our new creation and of course: it's in our entry way. The perfect reminder when we walk thru the door that this house is filled with love.

Q: Rails with Bootstrap - date picker I had my rails app all set up to work nicely with bootstrap and I had my form setup with an input field next to a calendar icon, which when clicked, let me pick a date.
I have these gems in my gem file:
gem 'momentjs-rails', '>= 2.9.0',  :github => 'derekprior/momentjs-rails'
gem 'datetimepicker-rails', github: 'zpaulovics/datetimepicker-rails', branch: 'master', submodules: true

Then, i incorporated a bootstrap theme and now everything is messed up and I can't figure out how to go back to what I had working before the bootstrap theme imposed its way of collecting dates.
I currently have a form with:
<%= pdf.input :start_date, :as => :date_picker, :label => "When do you want to get started?"  %>

                            <%= pdf.input :completion_date,  :as => :date_picker, :label => "When do you expect to finish?" %>

In my vendor assets, I have javascript files for:
/*! version : 4.7.15
 =========================================================
 bootstrap-datetimejs
 https://github.com/Eonasdan/bootstrap-datetimepicker
 Copyright (c) 2015 Jonathan Peterson
 =========================================================
 */
/*

I can't copy the content of that file because it is too long and exceeds the maximum post length for a SO post.
Prior to integrating a bootstrap theme, I had the form elements nicely working with a text box next to a calendar icon button which opened to display a calendar.
Now, I have an ugly calendar, underneath previous/next headings with time (hour minute second) functions below as well as 'now' and 'done' buttons. It's ugly. It's not what I want and I can't figure out how to get rid of it.
When I inspect element, I can see the following HOWEVER that div class is not a line I have in my form at all. I can't understand how it got into my app in a way that it is revealed in the code inspector but not part of the app:

<button type="button" class="ui-datepicker-current ui-state-default ui-priority-secondary ui-corner-all" data-handler="today" data-event="click">Now</button>

When I search my app code for "date picker", I found a folder called inputs which has a date_picker_input.rb file, with:
class DatePickerInput < SimpleForm::Inputs::StringInput
  def input(wrapper_options)
    set_html_options
    set_value_html_option

    template.content_tag :div, class: 'input-group date datetimepicker' do
      input = super(wrapper_options) # leave StringInput do the real rendering
      input + input_button
    end
  end

  def input_html_classes
    super.push ''   # 'form-control'
  end

  private

  def input_button
    template.content_tag :span, class: 'input-group-btn' do
      template.content_tag :button, class: 'btn btn-default', type: 'button' do
        template.content_tag :span, '', class: 'glyphicon glyphicon-calendar'
      end
    end
  end

  def set_html_options
    input_html_options[:type] = 'text'
    input_html_options[:data] ||= {}
    input_html_options[:data].merge!(date_options: date_options)
  end

  def set_value_html_option
    return unless value.present?
    input_html_options[:value] ||= I18n.localize(value, format: display_pattern)
  end

  def value
    object.send(attribute_name) if object.respond_to? attribute_name
  end

  def display_pattern
    I18n.t('datepicker.dformat', default: '%d/%m/%Y')
  end

  def picker_pattern
    I18n.t('datepicker.pformat', default: 'DD/MM/YYYY')
  end

  def date_view_header_format
    I18n.t('dayViewHeaderFormat', default: 'MMMM YYYY')
  end

  def date_options_base
    {
        locale: I18n.locale.to_s,
        format: picker_pattern,
        dayViewHeaderFormat: date_view_header_format
    }
  end

  def date_options
    custom_options = input_html_options[:data][:date_options] || {}
    date_options_base.merge!(custom_options)
  end

end

I'm not sure if this is imposing the styling or elements. I find this process so frustrating, I didn't keep notes to help uninstall the bootstrap theme. I'm losing so much of the day trying to figure out how to get rid of this and am stuck for where to look.
Can anyone help?
What's even more frustrating is that dates don't save as attributes in the database anymore.
Somehow this line of code is being imposed in my app, but does not appear anywhere in my code:

TAKING SAHIL'S SUGGESTION
I tried removing jQuery-ui from the application.js file.
When I do, the ugly calendar is removed but the icon calendar that I should be able to click to reveal the calendar doesnt work. A console error says:
jquery.surveyor.self-2c34bb6….js?body=1:43 Uncaught TypeError: jQuery(...).datepicker is not a function(anonymous function) @ jquery.surveyor.self-2c34bb6….js?body=1:43fire @ jquery.self-660adc5….js?body=1:3233self.fireWith @ jquery.self-660adc5….js?body=1:3363jQuery.extend.ready @ jquery.self-660adc5….js?body=1:3583completed @ jquery.self-660adc5….js?body=1:3618

REMOVING JQUERY UI FROM APPLICATION.JS
If I remove //= require jquery-ui  from my application.js file, I get the following error. When I do, the page renders without the fuller calendar (with all the time picker bits) but the icon for the calendar does not work to reveal a date calendar when clicked.
Uncaught TypeError: jQuery(...).datepicker is not a function(anonymous function) @ jquery.surveyor.self-2c34bb6….js?body=1:43fire @ jquery.self-660adc5….js?body=1:3233self.fireWith @ jquery.self-660adc5….js?body=1:3363jQuery.extend.ready @ jquery.self-660adc5….js?body=1:3583completed @ jquery.self-660adc5….js?body=1:3618

A: Things happen in the following way.
You added datetimepicker-rails gem and run its generators. You now have a DatePickerInput class, so when you put as:date_picker, it will use the following css styles - look here for sources
template.content_tag :div, class: 'input-group date datetimepicker' do
      input = super(wrapper_options) # leave StringInput do the real rendering
      input + input_button
    end

Now, look here - for the .js code that would be run:
vendor 'assets/javascripts/pickers.js' do <<-FILE
$(document).on('ready page:change', function() {
  $('.datetimepicker').datetimepicker({
    // put here your custom picker options, be applied for all pickers
   });

So this call datetimepicker() JavaScript function on the previously generated div with datetimepicker class. Now, while the control probably expect to run JavaScript from bootstrap:

it instead calls jQuery method of the same name - see here
   $(function() {
        $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
      });
      </script>

This is all this ui-* css styles come from.
And you should not use both bootstrap and jQuery UI datepickers together in the same place - see question here
As you talk to use bootstrap seem and control, get rid of jQuery UI from your code.

Malta Will Open Its International Airport To All Flight Destinations on July 15
June 17, 2020 by PressEditor
Malta's Ministry for Tourism and Consumer Protection and the Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) welcomes the announcement made yesterday by Prime Minister Robert Abela that a further six countries have been added to the list of destinations for when the Malta International Airport officially reopens on July 1, and that restrictions on all other flight destinations will be lifted on July 15.
The destinations that have been added to the list of destinations to open on July 1 are Italy (except for Emilia Romagna, Lombardy, and Piemonte), France (except for Ile de France), Spain (except for Madrid, Catalonia, Castilla -La Mancha, Castile, and Leon), Poland (except for Katowice Airport), Greece and Croatia. The original list of countries that to be reopened for travel included Germany, Austria, Sicily, Cyprus, Switzerland, Sardegna, Iceland, Slovakia, Norway, Denmark, Hungary, Finland, Ireland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Luxembourg, and Czech Republic. More destinations will be announced in due course, once clearance from the health authorities is received. Israel which had been included on the original list has been removed. The list of destinations will be monitored regularly and reviewed if necessary and can be found on https://www.visitmalta.com/en/covid-19
Minister for Tourism and Consumer Protection Julia Farrugia Portelli stated that the opening of the Malta International Airport will further sustain our tourism and economy. She added that the work that has been done over the past weeks and months has classified Malta as one of the safest destinations. The Ministry together with the Malta Tourism Authority will be focusing on marketing and different incentives to attract tourists concluded the Minister.
Dr. Gavin Gulia, Chairman of the Malta Tourism Authority, said that with these six additional destinations opening up as from July 1, and the rest becoming accessible by the middle of next month, the travel and hospitality sector can start to recover lost ground fast. MTA will do everything in its power to support local stakeholders in their efforts to regain the levels of visitor inflows that were the norm before the global crisis.
Yesterday's announcement comes in the wake of last week's statement by the European Commission in which EU countries were encouraged to lift travel restrictions within the bloc and proposed a gradual lifting of the external travel ban starting July 1. A significant number of EU countries have already lifted their travel restrictions.
The Prime Minister also announced that the public health emergency that had been declared due to the COVID-19 pandemic will be lifted. This means that all remaining legal notices related to COVID-19 restrictions will be revoked, including the ban on gatherings of more than 75 persons. Social distancing, hygiene, and the use of a face mask where necessary remain recommended.
Malta Sunny and Safe, a digital booklet just issued by the Ministry of Tourism & Consumer Protection is available online.
About Malta
The sunny islands of Malta, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, are home to a most remarkable concentration of intact built heritage, including the highest density of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in any nation-state anywhere. Valletta built by the proud Knights of St. John is one of the UNESCO sights and the European Capital of Culture for 2018. Malta's patrimony in stone ranges from the oldest free-standing stone architecture in the world, to one of the British Empire's most formidable defensive systems, and includes a rich mix of domestic, religious and military architecture from the ancient, medieval and early modern periods. With superbly sunny weather, attractive beaches, a thriving nightlife, and 7,000 years of intriguing history, there is a great deal to see and do.

MTA Invites the World to "Dream Malta Now… Visit Later"
April 22, 2020 by PressEditor
"Dream Malta Now… Visit Later" is the name of a promotional campaign that the Malta Tourism Authority launched today with the aim of reminding potential visitors about the beauty that awaits them in Malta once it becomes possible for people to start travelling again. Using a 60-second video clip produced in fourteen different languages, the campaign will be conducted primarily online, and will be accompanied by a series of social media posts promoting the same message.
Commenting on this campaign, Minister for Tourism and Consumer Protection, Julia Farrugia Portelli, stated: "When faced with a challenging scenario like the one we are experiencing at the moment, a common reaction is that of halting all marketing and retreating completely from the scene. However, this was not the philosophy adopted by the Malta Tourism Authority and the Government of Malta. On the contrary, we devised a campaign, oriented towards different areas of interest, through which we aim to provide prospective visitors with a taste of the Maltese Islands and entice them to visit at a later date."
Carlo Micallef, Deputy CEO and Chief Marketing Officer at the Malta Tourism Authority, stated that in spite of the fact that international tourism is at a standstill, the work of MTA's marketing team went on unabated. "At the moment, we are conducting various inspirational campaigns in a number of countries with the aim of keeping Malta, Gozo and Comino top of mind for those who will one day become future visitors to our islands."
Johann Buttigieg, Chief Executive Officer of the Malta Tourism Authority, explained how in addition to marketing, MTA is also busy with projects aimed at improving the infrastructure as well as the levels of service provided through a programme of training for staff involved in the tourism sector. "One has to keep in mind that, as soon as the COVID-19 crisis is over, competition among tourism destinations will be fiercer than ever. So it is imperative that we are among the front runners when this occurs and that, together with our industry stakeholders, we can provide the best possible product to attract visitors to Malta as we were doing before the pandemic started."
The sunny islands of Malta, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, are home to a most remarkable concentration of intact built heritage, including the highest density of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in any nation-state anywhere.

«В едемському саду» — науково-фантастичний роман американської письменниціКейдж Бейкер 1997 року. Незважаючи на те, що дія повністю розгортається в XVI столітті, в Іспанії та Англії, це науково-фантастична історія, що обертається навколо діяльності групи безсмертних кіборгів, людей, які здаються людьми, але були перетворені високими технологіями.

Мендоза — кіборг, якого, як і інших подібних, у дитинстві врятували від вірної смерті та перетворили на безсмертну машину, а потім примусили працювати на «Компанію». Вона любить свою роботу і ненавидить «смертних». Усе змінюється, коли під час своєї першої місії вона зустрічає кохання та дізнається, яку жахливу ціну заплатила, щоб жити вічно.

Американський ілюстратор Майкл Кельш намалював обкладинки перших трьох романів Бейкера із серії «Компанія», починаючи з «В едемському саду».

Введення сюжету
Цей роман є першим у серії про «Компанію» та її слуг, людей та інших. Серіал продовжується фільмами «Небесний койот», «Мендоза в Голлівуді», «Гра на кладовищі» та «Життя майбутнього світу». Збірка Чорні проекти, Білі лицарі складається з історій компанії, а в збірці Мати Єгипет та інші історії є алюзії.

Історію розповідає Мендоза, ботанік-кіборг. У вступі вона описує організацію XXIV століття під назвою Dr. Zeus Inc. або просто «Компанія». Компанія володіє секретами безсмертя і подорожей у часі. На жаль, лікування безсмертя можна використовувати лише для маленьких дітей; а подорож у часі складна, дорога і можлива лише тоді, коли йдеш у минуле та повертаєшся у свій час. Історію змінити неможливо.

Доктор Зевс використовує цю технологію просто для того, щоб збагатитися. Подорожуючи далеко в доісторію, компанія створює власних безсмертних агентів-кіборгів, які потім мають місію збереження культурних артефактів та інших цінних предметів для продажу в XXIV столітті. Зазвичай ці предмети ховають у безпечних місцях, але, наприклад, у випадку з вимерлими видами, вони зберігаються в секретних схованках Компанії, якими керують кіборги. У XXIV столітті компанія «знаходить» давно втрачені предмети та продає їх.

Очікується, що кіборги прибудуть у XXIV столітті старомодним шляхом, переживши тисячоліття, що відбулися. По дорозі вони можуть створити більше кіборгів із тих, хто інакше помер би дитиною.

Пояснення назви роману
Мендоза та її супутники вирушають до Англії, в графство Кент, маєток сера Волтера Ідена, який зберігає колекцію екзотичних рослин в огородженому саду. Завдання Мендози — взяти генетичні зразки. Маєток Ідена також включає відтворення місця, де Александр Іден, кентський шляхтич, захопив і вбив Джека Кейда, лідера повстанців під час громадянських воєн у попередньому столітті. Александр Іден і Джек Кейд є історичними особами, а також персонажами п'єси Вільяма Шекспіра «Генріх VI, частина 2». Вигаданий сер Волтер, можливо, придбав титул і маєток, а не успадкував їх.

Короткий зміст сюжету
Мендоза розповідає, як її дитиною викрали з інквізиції в Іспанії, після того, як її справжні батьки спочатку продали якимось «благородним християнам», які хочуть її використати для язичницьких обрядів, але натомість її заарештовують. У в'язниці її називають Мендоза, за ім'ям, яке використовували язичники. Вона не пам'ятає, щоб коли-небудь мала власне ім'я до цього, батьки просто називали її «дочка» (hija іспанською). Вона навіть не знає ні свого прізвища, ні назви свого села. Одним із інквізиторів є Джозеф, кіборг, який може доставити її своїм колегам-агентам для «збільшення».

Для своєї першої місії через 15 років вона повертається до Іспанії. Хоча вона отримала освіту ботаніка і хоче відправитися в Новий Світ, їй доводиться проводити час в Європі в експедиції до Англії. Вона дізнається, що лідером експедиції є Джозеф, кіборг, який врятував її. Йому близько 20 000 років, він був завербований з Баскського регіону в дитинстві, коли його село було вбито. Джозеф є фасилітатором, «фіксатором», головним агентом. Він також втомлений світом, цинічний і нешанобливий. Його пристрасть — це робота, як і всі кіборги, але він також має глибоко вкорінену ненависть до релігійного фанатизму, частково через те, що його батьки були вбиті культом, частково через те, що він бачив за своє довге життя. До групи також входять Нефер, спеціалізується на сільськогосподарських тваринах, і Флавій, технік.

Місія полягає в поїздці до Англії в складі супроводу іспанського принца Філіпа, який збирається одружитися з королевою Марією. Потім вони відправляться в маєток сера Волтера Ідена в Кенті, якого переконали дозволити їм спробувати рідкісні рослини зі свого саду. Все це не влаштовує Мендозу. Вона вже смертельно боїться всіх «смертних», як вона їх називає, і її ще більше лякає перспектива потрапити до холодної, вогкої, жорстокої та охопленої хворобами Англії.

Коли вони прибувають, без Флавія, який залишається в Лондоні, дві речі швидко змінюють її думку. Одна з них — живопліт з Ilex tormentosum, або падуба Юлія Цезаря, рослини з величезними лікувальними властивостями. Ця рослина вже рідкісна, а в майбутньому вимирає. Інший — Ніколас Гарпол, секретар сера Волтера. Ніколас «високий навіть для англійця» і має коняче обличчя, але дуже розумний і добре освічений. Вона відразу приваблює його, і Джозеф, який завжди шукає переваги, спонукає її спокусити Ніколаса. Вона це робить і поселяється надовго, вирішивши, що сад повний незвичайних рослин, на каталогізацію яких знадобляться роки.

Виявляється, у Ніколаса темне минуле, оскільки він був членом екстатичного християнського культу, який практикував сексуальну свободу. Вирішивши, що лідер секти просто експлуатує своїх побратимів, він відколовся і почав проповідувати радикальні ідеї, за що був заарештований і посаджений в кайдани. Незважаючи на те, що Ныколас незаконнонароджений, у нього були друзі з хорошими зв'язками, і його звільнили із застереженням більше не грішити.

Мендоза також має проблеми. Коли вона дорослішає, вона виявляє, що випромінює «випромінювання Крома», психічне поле, яке може мати непередбачуваний вплив на час і простір. Передбачається, що це неможливо для кіборгів, яких перевіряють на такі здібності під час вербування (у пізнішій історії компанії ми дізнаємося, що Джозеф спровокував підробку тестів, оскільки в іншому випадку Мендозу закатувала б до смерті інквізиція).

Пыд час розвитку роману її все більше роздирає любов до Ніколаса та потреба брехати йому, грати призначену їй роль. Сам Ніколас з підозрою ставиться до Мендози та її супутників. Старий сер Волтер Айден, якому Джозеф провів омолоджуючі процедури як плату за перебування, вирішує продати маєток і переїхати до Лондона. Вся сім'я вже вражена його перетворенням із хитрого старого в чоловыка середнього віку. Йосип розлючений, але нічого не може вдіяти. Тоді, поки домогосподарство описується для продажу, Джозеф постраждав у результаті нещасного випадку, в якому загинула б звичайна людина. Хоча він зі своєю звичайною майстерністю виходить із ситуації, що склалася, зрештою його виявляє Ніколас, який бачить, як він самостійно ремонтує свої внутрішні машини.

Ніколас, який був готовий до втечі з Мендозою, протистоїть їй, вважаючи його дияволом у людській подобі. Вона зізнається, що навіть у власних очах вона вже не людина. Ніколас тікає з маєтку.

Пізніше вона дізнається, що він повернувся до проповіді в Рочестері і був засуджений до спалення новою католицькою владою. Вона сама втікає до Рочестера, але не може переконати його відмовитися. У цей момент слідоми за Мендосою з'являється Жозеф. Зараз його єдина мета — не дати їй стати ренегатом Компанії. Він засуджує Ніколаса як ще одного фальшивого месію, який може вести інших до знищення разом із собою. Він відкриває Ніколасу, що прожив багато тисяч років і ще не бачив нічого схожого на Істину, яку проповідує Ніколас і йому подібні. Сказавши Ніколасу, що «з усіх підпалів, свідком яких я був, цей мені справді сподобається», він забирає Мендозу.

Наступного ранку вони стають свідками смерті Ніколаса. Повернувшись до маєтку Іден, Джозеф обіцяє посмикати за ниточки і добитися відправки Мендози в Новий Світ, як вона хотіла спочатку.

В останньому розділі Мендоза прибуває в Новий Світ у південноамериканських джунглях. Це таємна база Компанії, схожа на розкішний готель, де слугами є майя, врятовані від жертвоприношень. Вона поселяється у своєму новому кондиціонованому існуванні з невідомим майбутнім.

Персонажі

 Мендоза, оповідач, є «хорошою машиною». Вона слухається своїх господарів, за винятком випадків, коли її серце, хоч би механічне воно було, каже інше. Насправді Мендоза не знає свого справжнього імені, оскільки в родині до неї зверталися лише як донька. Інквізиція називає її Мендоза, прізвище жінки, яка прикинулася її матір'ю.
 Джозеф, Посередник, який «завербував» Мендозу для Компанії, є стародавнім оперативником, хитрим старим лисом, який помилково вважає, що світ не залишив для нього сюрпризів.
 Ніколас Харпол — високий, розумний, побожний англієць із темним минулим. Вважається, що він рідний син якогось невідомого шляхтича, вихований прийомними батьками та дав добру освіту таємничому батькові. Хоча людина свого часу, він має незвичайні ідеї, які, якщо поділитися з не тими людьми, небезпечні як для нього, так і для них. У цьому він щонайменше на 200 років випередив свій час. Він володіє кількома мовами, як класичними, так і сучасними. Коли не працює на сера Волтера, він проводить свій час у напруженому навчанні, перегортаючи сторінки своїх книг із машинною регулярністю, вбираючи текст. У деяких аспектах він здається надлюдиною, більше схожим на кіборгів Компанії, ніж на людей, на яких він працює. У міру розгортання саги Мендоза та Джозеф дізнаються, наскільки він насправді інший.

Відгуки
Kirkus Reviews оцінив його як «дуже вражаючий і повністю захоплюючий» і «виблискуючий дотепністю». Publishers Weekly виявив, що це «жваве» і «приємне читання» для шанувальників історій про подорожі в часі, з «надійними та детальними» персонажами та місцем дії, але він порушив його темп і «надзвичайно надуману» передумову.

Still no job creation strategy from Government as unemployment rate increases to 7.8% - Morgan
Speaking today as the latest live register figures showed that a further 16,900 people have signed on in the past month bringing the unemployment rate to 7.8% Sinn Féin Finance spokesperson said the Government is continuing to sleep walk through an economic crisis.
Deputy Morgan said, "Nearly two months on from Budget 2009 and we are still awaiting a job creation strategy from the Government.
"Another 16, 900 have signed on to the live register in the past month to bring the total number of those signing on to 277,200 for November 2008. This is an increase of 106,800 in the past year bringing the standardised unemployment rate to 7.8%. We have seen a 57% increase in Redundancies over the last 12 months.
"The Government is continuing to sleep walk through an economic crisis. Its handling of the economic has been clueless. This was highlighted spectacularly yesterday when exchequer figures showed that the Government's projected public finance figures were short by a billion euros.
"Manufacturing exports have decreased sharply and the Government have failed to introduce a coherent plan to stem the tide. Construction has come to a stand still and the Government has done nothing to absorb the thousands of workers facing unemployment in that sector. Sinn Féin is calling for the frontloading of projects in social housing, schools, hospitals and public transport to boost the construction industry.
"The retail sector has been damaged by the Government's ridiculous increase in VAT which has driven more shoppers to the north. This move has also shown just how clueless the Government has been on the economy. Sinn Féin has been advocating a 2% cut in VAT to stimulate consumer spending. The Government needs to give serious consideration to this proposal. There must also be co-operation north and south as we are seeing contradicting policies on VAT are affecting the retail sector particularly in the border counties.
"The Government is failing take any initiative to ensure that credit for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is forthcoming from the banks. They have also done nothing to tackle the problem of the inordinate length of time that small businesses are being made to wait to receive payments for work and goods delivered. This must be a priority for the Government in the time ahead." ENDS


To ensure the security of Hadoop clusters, user authentication and authorization must be implemented, in addition to firewalls, to contain attacks originating from the inside.
The Internet is never a safe place. Most of the time, we rely too much on firewalls to contain security problems. Unfortunately, reliance on the firewall assumes that attacks always come from the outside while the truly destructive attacks often come from the inside.
In recent years, websites such as The Hacker News have reported on widespread attacks and ransoms due to data security problems. Versions earlier than Hadoop 1.0.0 provided no security support and assumed that any roles in a cluster are trusted. As a result, user access is not authenticated and malicious users can easily access clusters by means of masquerading.
After Hadoop 1. 0. 0 was released in 2012, Hadoop started to support Kerberos to ensure that the nodes in a cluster are trustworthy.
Before the cluster is deployed, Kerberos stores the authentication key on a trusted node. When the cluster runs, the nodes in the cluster are authenticated by the key, and only the successfully authenticated nodes can be used to provide services. Impersonated nodes cannot communicate with any nodes in the cluster because they do not carry the key information in advance. This prevents the malicious utilization of or tampering with the Hadoop cluster, ensuring its trustworthiness and security.
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that was designed to protect network servers in Athena projects. The name "Kerberos" is the name of the three-headed dog from Greek mythology. As its name implies, it provides strong authentication for the client-to-server access sequence by using key encryption technology. Kerberos can prevent eavesdropping and can replay attacks for data integrity. It is a system that uses symmetric key algorithms to manage keys. Kerberos-based products also use the public key encryption method for authentication.
So far, the latest version of Kerberos is V5, and the V1 to V3 versions are only available within MIT because DES encryption is used. In its early development, Kerberos was classified as military arms by the U.S. Export Controls and its export was banned until the Royal Swedish Institute of Engineering released Kerberos V4, namely KTH-KRB. Later, this team released V5 (Heimdal), which is one of the most common implementations of Kerberos V5.
The Kerberos V5 implementation version mentioned in this document refers to MIT Kerberos, which is updated regularly on a six-month basis. Presently, the latest version of MIT Kerberos is version 1.16.2, which was released on November 1, 2018.
Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT): indicates the ticket of a ticket.
Service Server (SS): indicates the specific service provider.
Principal: indicates the authenticated individual.
Ticket: indicates the ticket that is used by the client for authentication. Contains the user name, IP address, timestamp, validity period, and session key.
Authentication: The client sends a message to the AS to obtain a TGT containing the timestamp.
Authorization: The client uses the TGT to request the ticket of the specified service from the TGS.
Service request: The client presents the service ticket to the specified service for communication authorization.
The Kerberos protocol belongs to the display layer of the network communication protocol. The communication process of Kerberos is as follows: First, the accessing user uses the shared key to obtain an identity certificate from an AS. Then, the user uses the identity certificate, but not the shared key, to communicate with the SS.
This process uses symmetric encryption as the encryption method and occurs in a Kerberos realm. The lower-case letters c, d, e, and g indicate the messages sent by the client, while the upper-case letters A, B, E, F, and H are the messages returned by each server.
The client retrieves the TGT from the AS.
Entering the user ID and password or using the keytab function.
The client runs a one-way function (normally the Hash function) that converts the password into the user's secret key on the client.
The client sends a plaintext message to the AS to request a service, for example, "User Sunny wants to request a service" (in this case, Sunny is the user ID). Note: The user does not have to send the secret key or password to the AS. Rather, the AS can retrieve the user's password from the local database and convert it to the secret key for the same user.
[Message A]: Contains the session key between the client and the TGS (which is used for future communication between the client and the TGS), which is encrypted by the user's secret key.
[Message B]: Contains the TGT (which includes the session key between the client and the TGS in message A as well as the user ID, user URL, and TGT validity period), which is encrypted by the TGS's secret key.
Upon receiving both messages, the client first tries to use the user's secret key to decrypt message A. If the password entered by the user does not match that in the AS database, the decryption fails. Message A can be decrypted only after the correct password is entered, and it uses the generated user's secret key for decryption. After message A is decrypted, the session key between the client and the TGS can be retrieved. Note that the client cannot decrypt message B because this message is encrypted by the TGS's secret key. With the session key, the client can then be authenticated by the TGS.
The client obtains the ticket from the TGS, namely the client-to-server ticket.
[Message c]: Contains the content of message B (namely the TGT encrypted by the TGS's secret key) and the ID of the requested service (rather than the user ID).
[Message d]: Contains the Authenticator (which includes the user ID and timestamp), which is encrypted by the session key between the client and the TGS.
Upon receiving both messages, the TGS first checks whether the requested service exists in the KDC database. If it does, the TGS uses its own secret key to decrypt message B (namely the TGT) contained in message c to retrieve the previously generated session key. Then, the TGS uses this session key to decrypt message d to obtain the authenticator that contains the user ID and timestamp, and verifies the TGT and authenticator.
[Message E]: Contains the client-to-server ticket (which includes the session key between the client and the SS as well as the user ID, user URL, and validity period), which is encrypted by the service's secret key of the server that provides the service.
[Message F]: Contains the session key between the client and the server (which is used for future communication between the client and the server service), which is encrypted by the session key between the client and the TGS.
Upon receiving both messages, the client decrypts message F with the session key between the client and the TGS to obtain the session key between the client and the server. Note that the client cannot decrypt message E because this message is encrypted by the service's secret key.
The client retrieves the service from the SS.
[Message E]: Contains the "client-to-server ticket" in message E as mentioned in the previous step, which is encrypted by the service's secret key.
[Message G]: Contains the new authenticator (which includes the user ID and timestamp), which is encrypted by the session key between the client and the SS.
The SS uses its own service's secret key to decrypt message E and obtain the session key between the client and the SS that was provided by the TGS. Then, the SS uses this session key to decrypt message G and obtain the authenticator. Meanwhile, the SS verifies the ticket and the authenticator as what the TGS did.
If the verification succeeds, the SS returns a message (Confirmation letter: The identity has been successfully authenticated. The SS will provide the service for you).
[Message H]: Contains the new timestamp (namely the timestamp sent by the client plus one; however, this mechanism has been discarded in V5), which is encrypted by the session key between the client and the SS.
The client decrypts message H with the session key between the client and the SS to obtain the new timestamp and check whether it is correct. If the new timestamp is correct, the client trusts the server and sends a service request to the SS.
The SS provides the corresponding service to the client.
Kerberos supports two server redundancy modes in a realm: Master/Slave (MIT and Heimdal) and Multi-master modes (Windows Active Directory). If Kerberos is deployed in a production environment, we recommended that you use the single-master-and-multi-slave mode to ensure the high availability (HA) of Kerberos services.
Each KDC in Kerberos contains a copy of the database. The master KDC contains a writeable copy of the realm database, which is copied to the slave KDC at a fixed interval. All database changes such as password changes are made on the master KDC. When the master KDC becomes unavailable, the slave KDC provides a Kerberos ticket for service authorization rather than managing the database. An administrator is required to perform routine management tasks on KDCs.
At present, the most common HA solution for a single IDC is the combination of Keepalived and Rsync. Keepalived can build multiple stateful points into an HA service by using the virtual IP (VIP) failover method.
To use this method, first create a dump file for the database in the master KDC to dump the current Kerberos and KADM5 databases to ASCII files.
Then, use Rsync to synchronize the directory where the dump file is located to the corresponding directory on the slave machine before importing the directory to the KDC.
If the team already has a permissions system, it is difficult to integrate the existing identification system with Kerberos.
With the rapid growth of businesses and the increasing sizes of servers, the manual operations performed by a Kerberos principal (including addition, deletion, modification, and querying) become more frequent and troublesome. To address this, you need to standardize the principal requesting, maintenance, deletion, and keytab generation processes in the Kerberos management system. In addition, principal requesting and permissions management should be automated.
During Kerberos data synchronization, you can synchronize the generated data records to MySQL by using the MySQL dual-master synchronization method. In the cross-IDC scenario, you can use the Rsync tool to synchronize incremental KDC data. The Rsync server uses the keepalived VIP method in which the core IDC (A) serves as the active IDC. When the Kerberos host becomes faulty, to ensure the high availability of KDC data, the VIP migrates to another KDC host and the Rsync client synchronizes data with this KDC host, which now serves as the Rsync server.
Process management tools are used for the aliveness monitoring of Kerberos-related processes. When an unexpected process exit is detected, an email, WeChat, or DingTalk alarm is sent for actively restoring the process.
Deploying Kerberos in Hadoop clusters is tedious. Essentially, Kerberos is a protocol or secure channel. For most users, it is complicated to fully understand it. In this context, is there any better implementation that can free common users from these annoying details?
Reportedly, the Hadoop Authentication Service (HAS) co-developed by Alibaba and Intel has been applied to ApsaraDB for HBase2.0.
The HAS solution replaces the MIT Kerberos service with Kerby and uses the HAS plug-in authentication method to build an account and password system that is familiar for most users.
Currently, HAS is under development in the Apache Kerby project branch has-project and will be included as a new Kerby feature in the next release.
As a sub-project of Apache Directory, Apache Kerby is not drawing too much attention but has the potential for future success.
