Q: Can't install Windows 10 on desktop PC: "We couldn't create a new partition" I can't install Windows 10 (or 7) on my desktop PC and keep seeing the error:

We couldn't create a new partition

I had my Windows 7 (not licensed, but activated) for a very long time, and didn't really take much care of it. Recently, Skype started to unlog with disk error, google-read fix with profile deletion didn't help (it started again), also, DotA 2 game sometimes just crashed, browser pages had huuuuuge delay.
I decided to install other Windows, erasing everything completely. I firstly made bootable DVD-RW with Windows 7 image from some tracker (it was stated that it is original MSDN image), it failed, but I don't remember if it did with the same error or not.
Then I picked my JetFlash Transcend 4GB and made it bootable Windows 10 with the help of Microsoft Media Tool or something. And I just constantly get the error.
I firstly realized that I had some USB peripherals, and I unplugged everything except power, DVI for monitor, speakers and PS/2 keyboard and mouse.
I don't have any SD or whatever. My S.M.A.R.T thing in BIOS is disabled.
I tried, in various combinations and sequential orders:

*

*To DISKPART things up with easily googleable instructions;

*To disable legacy storage thing in BIOS, then shut down PC, plug flash drive in other port, turn on PC, enable legacy in BIOS and go on.

*Disabling/enabling various SATA and USB 2.0 stuff (btw, I have maximum USB 2.0)

Approximately half a year ago, I tested my HDD with a software, there was crushed sector, but only one, I think.
I should really know whether it's an old-old HDD issue before spending money on new HDD.
My relevant PC configuration and firmware below (PC, except for graphic card, is very old):

*

*Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3, DDR2 RAM

*Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

*HDD: WDC WD5000AAKS-65YGA0

A: I had this error on one of my computers. It has 3 hard drives, and 2 BD-REs. I had to unplug two of the three hard drives to get Windows 10 to install.
The downside is, that after I got Windows 10 up and running (activation was complete), when I booted after plugging in other two drives, Windows 10 was no longer activated. I called Microsoft support which landed me at Tier 2 tech support. When Tier 2 called me and I explained what happened, I was told that was normal for Windows 10. If you change to much hardware, your hash value changes and it deactivates. The good news is that Tier 2 was able to issue me a new license key (after verifying my old key was valid and legal) and Windows 10 is once again activated.

One KRAZY Curator
Vancouver Art Gallery's Bruce Grenville on exhibiting, and publishing, 'delirious' pop culture.
By Reanna Alder 27 May 2008 | TheTyee.ca
Reanna Alder, editor of the now-defunct Tooth and Dagger, hopes to one day run a comic book lending library.
VAG's hot show and book.
Krazy!: The Delirious World of Anime + Comics + Video Games + Art
Bruce Grenville, Tim Johnson, Kiyoshi Kusumi, Seth and Art Spiegelman
Douglas & MacIntyre (2008)
The art gallery was where you went to see The Original. It's where you discovered that the Mona Lisa is smaller than you imagined, or were brought to tears -- so I've heard -- by brush strokes.
But everything in the Vancouver Art Gallery's latest exhibition, KRAZY!: the Delirious World of Anime + Comics + Video Games + Art, has already had the benefit of mass distribution. Reproduction is the intended form, whereas the originals often lack colour and, ahem, animation.
And here's the thing about amassing a collection of pop culture: there's no exclusive.
When I sat down with senior curator Bruce Grenville in his office three days after the exhibition opened, he admitted that the collection could have been presented in list form. As in: co-curators and comic artists Art Spiegelman and Seth suggest these eight comic artists, co-curator and computer game designer Will Wright believes you'll have a better understanding of video games history if you check these out. And so on.
With eight creators representing each of the seven genres, this list would easily fit on a double-sided handout of suggested reading/viewing/gaming for a university course ("KRAZY! The Development of Visual Culture in North America and the Asia Pacific in the 20th and 21st Centuries").
Of course, Grenville and the VAG staff have drawn from the modern curator's bag of tricks to make the work meaningful in a gallery setting.
"Some of it has to do with scale and how you approach it," says Grenville. "[We are] taking the physical body into account as much as anything to shift your perception."
Dozens of heroes of the page and screen parade "life-sized" across gallery walls, the floor plan seems even more labyrinthine than usual, and Japanese design company Atelier Bow-Wow have installed playful seating structures that weave through the main floor.
Gallery-goers are invited to play video games, watch excerpts and full-length films projected on the walls (as many as four films to a room, for maximum disorientation), and read the original pages of a comic book by traversing an entire gallery room, hieroglyph-style.
You can check out Windsor McCay's Gertie the Dinosaur, one of the exhibition's featured animations here:
The goal, says Grenville, is to "map a field" of visual culture, one that hasn't yet been examined collectively, and see what can be found at the intersections where genres overlap. "In some ways it's about affirming the culture that you know, and in other ways it's about disassembling a culture that you know."
It's one of the VAG's most appealing and cohesive spectacles in recent memory. Even the catalogue is a cut above. KRAZY! (Douglas & McIntyre, 2008) is a juiced-up teaser-trailer, 72 cubic inches of full-colour stills, cells, renderings and drawings, plus pages of the conversational commentary from which Grenville distilled the exhibition's curatorial signage.
In his interview with The Tyee, here's what else Bruce Grenville had to share...
On why this show, in this city, now
"One of the things that we're quite committed to is visual culture, so we did Massive Change a while back. We do exhibitions that cross design architecture in different ways, but one of the areas that seemed to be growing in terms of visibility was the graphic novel, as an extended serious art form. Part of it was our interest in the Asia Pacific and to address that manga and anime come out of that.
"I did a show a couple years back called The Uncanny, which was a look at this image of the human machine, everything from the 17th century forward. Part of the show was to look at Japanese culture specifically, their ideas around the machine, which are entirely different than Western ones. The art was really fascinating in terms of that. But also how much of these images kept popping up in popular culture, like [Masamune Shirow's] Ghost in the Shell, or [Osamu] Tezuka's Astro Boy. I thought the depth and the character of the anime and manga was something that I just hadn't really understood, and felt like that [understanding] was something that we needed.
"We also live in a community where video games are pretty actively produced. There are some great producers in the community here, so [all this] became the large field, bigger then even we'd originally imagined, that needed to come together.
"We're an institution that's committed to contemporary art and visual arts especially, and so that's part of the mix. To really see visual arts is to see it as in integral part of visual culture, not separate from it."
On the personal nature of the selections
"Will Wright's selection of games is really Will's view of what [video game] history is and I realized when we got to the end if it, if you look at [Will Wright's] Spore, which is the end point of the discussion, everything that he chose is in Spore, as a kind of user relationship to it. So clearly, you see [the history of each genre] through your own lens. Which is terrific, it makes for a very engaging vision. But obviously anybody could imagine any number of other things that could have been in the show."
On 'KRAZY!,' the catalogue
"There was the sense that it would be a document of something that hadn't happened before. In looking at all this media, we would want to be able to present it together, which is important, but also to see it as something that sort of maps a field, just a preliminary discussion. What if we started to talk about this as a large field of activity that has been sort of flattened? There are intersections and points of differences. How do they rub up against each other, and if you put them all together would you see that? We wanted something that you could hold, it's not like Masters [of American Comics], which is this kind of tome. This is something you can carry."
On the necessity of critical reflection
"You only come to an understanding of what you do through critical reflection. We can produce and churn out, [and] if you don't reflect on it, it's a lot easier. You don't have to think ethically about what you're doing, the purposes that you have, the connections that you've made, the history that you're either engaged with or you might be repeating, [or the history] you might be trying to diverge from.
"[But] without that critical reflection, you end up making things that either aren't really very interesting, or are culturally irrelevant. As soon as you start to be more aware of what you're doing and think critically about that process, then I think the ethical comes into that.
"It's a set of relations, and relations are the basis of our ethics. It's that sense of how do we interact with others, and others being not only other producers but also the receivers. Hence the reference to Krazy Kat, which [has] this sense that communities never resolve, communities are in tension, and that tension, that community without community, that inoperativeness, is very much what gives that community meaning and strength and allows it to go forward and to respond ethically, both to situations and to what we produce."
On whether pop culture is inherently 'absorbing' at the expense of critical reflection
"I think at times [the pieces] do ask you to just kind of be subsumed by them, and certainly when you walk into the video high wall space there is this sense that you are to be overwhelmed. Certainly film has always put you in a darkened room and provided you with these blinkers that encourage you to look to the spectacle and be absorbed. I think there's a lot about this that is intended to engage you and pull you into it, to be absorbed by it. But all those triggers are there to also encourage reflection."
On Roy Lichtenstein and framing
"I think what's great about those Lichtenstein paintings is that it is about an exchange of glances. It's this sort of series of visual interactions and cues between a subject and a viewer [within the frame], and a viewer -- me -- at play. So we become self conscious of our looking and seeing. If you take the time to look, if you look beyond the pop [aesthetic] of the composition -- the way he crops and creates this kind of fabulous slick surface, and all the things that Lichtenstein does to make a great painting -- if you look at the language that he's using, the compositional structures, the relations between the subjects and viewers, you get something else out of it."
On the poetics of a mixed-up culture
"There's a fabulous George Herriman piece in the show that I was looking at again this morning. I'm teaching a course on the exhibition for Emily Carr, and had a chance to slow down with the students and there's a wonderful piece where Ignatz [mouse] has been lost and nobody can find him so they call Officer Pupp to help them and Ignatz appears above. There's all this wonderful compositional work at play. Ignatz drops down through the fireplace and he's covered in soot and Krazy Kat says, 'That can't be Ignatz, Ignatz is blond and this is a brunette.'
"[So there is] this whole sense of misunderstanding, and if you start to read it in relation to Harriman's background, he's a mixed race individual and the language [in the comic] is mixed, there's all this mix-up and confusion and it's that mixing up and confusion that is the meaning of our existence. There's constant confusion and the desire to clarify."
On the power of the graphic novel
"Black and White by Taiyo Matsumoto was for me one of the great finds in the show. [It is] this astounding story, and I think it's so beautifully told, and such a rich narrative and beautifully drawn. There are not many stories that are that engaging. It's like a great novel, [and] a great visual art work all tied up into one thing, and there's an incredible amount of depth."
On what anime does better than cartoons
"One of the things that we were very interested in the show is the way that anime depicts urban spaces in a way that you never see in animated cartoons. It's this sort of dense urban space, it's especially in Tokyo, and the complexity of negotiating those spaces becomes a subject in the work. The city itself is a subject that is assembled and disassembled [within the films]."

In recent years in the world there has been a steady transition from the use of mining equipment for rope excavators of traditional design to hydraulic excavators. Until recently, hydraulic machines completely replaced cable cars only in the class of light construction excavators, and today there is a planned replacement in the class of powerful quarry. Complexes are being implemented with the use of super-powerful hydraulic excavators with a bucket capacity of up to 40 m3, coupled with heavy dump trucks with carrying capacity up to 380 tons, and this process is quite natural.
The design of the modern mechanical shovel is not fundamentally different from the design of the first excavators of the 1830s (the first mention of such digging technique dates back to 1420!). For a century and a half the drive evolved from steam to electric (or diesel), a crawler (or stepping) course was introduced, the excavators became full-turning. Over the years, the capacity of the machines has grown, overburden vaults of the EVG-35.65 type have been created, but the basic scheme of the working equipment has not changed – single-beam or double-beam handle, support unit on the boom of the corresponding structure, pressure mechanism, hoisting winches. The circuit is reliable in operation and unpretentious in maintenance, metal consumption, does not require special accuracy in manufacturing and installation in comparison with the hydraulic drive.
The appearance of a three-dimensional hydraulic drive made it possible to create new schemes for the working equipment of the excavating machine, which reminded now of a mechanical arm rather than a mechanical shovel. Features of the excavator have expanded to a large extent: selective excavation, front stripping, better conditions for loading the rock into transport, shorter work cycles, etc. In fact, this is a new type of equipment, the application of which increases the intensity and quality of mining.
The increase in the level of reliability of hydraulics for some time has made it possible to successfully compete with hydraulic excavators with ultra-reliable and non-destructible mechanical shovels. It is already possible to compare the resource of both types of machines. The use of electronic systems for monitoring the operating parameters of the hydraulic drive, especially the monitoring of the working fluid, helps to ensure trouble-free operation, reduce wear of hydraulic units.
Hydraulic drive has a significant margin of opportunity to improve it as such. The use of a hydraulic drive makes possible different variants of the layout of the machine, especially the working equipment. The classic design and layout of the rope excavator of the ECG type has already exhausted itself, further improvement is possible only with reference to the power drive of the main mechanisms – the course, the turn, the winch. This can improve individual performance, but overall the machine remains at the level of a traditional mechanical shovel.
Production of heavy quarry excavation
equipment has always been the lot of specialized powerful enterprises. Firms – manufacturers of quarry excavators are few, you can count on your fingers. The very possibility of producing such a technique already brings the manufacturer to the elite of the machine-building industry, but there are also leaders in this elite group.
The deciding voice when choosing a leader is the buyer. Technology can be as pleasing as it is complex and high-tech, but it is by sales volume that it is possible to give the most objective assessment of the company's activities all the way from concept development to machine implementation in metal and marketing work.
For a long time, many users of quarry equipment around the world prefer the excavation technology of Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. (HCM). The company was founded in 1970 as a result of the division of functions of Hitachi Ltd. In 1979, a career excavator UH801 was commissioned, which became the first in the class of heavy quarry, and since then more than 400 units have been manufactured. heavy excavators (weighing more than 150 tons). Every year the company around the world closes from 30 to 50% (depending on the country) of the market of excavating equipment – light, medium and heavy. Today Hitachi is the undisputed leader among the strongest competitors, a well-known brand.
What caused this success? Naturally, this is the result of fruitful and thoughtful work of the company for decades.
In such industries, there are no casual victories. When asked why the consumer chooses their products, HCM responds as follows:
high availability of equipment during operation;
low operating costs;
Better fuel economy;
technological flexibility;
Lower maintenance requirements.
These are not advertising slogans. In the mining operations of PT Kaltim Prima Coal (East Kalimantan, Indonesia), the first EX3500 delivered there between December 1990 and December 2003 was more than 88,000 mph. In total, according to the results of work 12 units. EX3500 for the entire period of operation at this enterprise, the availability of equipment on average was about 92%! The facts speak for themselves. Such indicators became possible due to the correct policy of HCM and the company's dealers in the field of after-sales service. It is the high-quality supply and attraction of qualified service specialists that gives such excellent results. The consumer's lot is only the extraction of raw materials without distraction of attention to maintaining the machine's efficiency.
Hitachi Construction Machinery is an engineering company. The company's specialists have chosen their own way of creating high-tech equipment. In each branch of machine building there are recognized firms whose products are time-tested and are of the best quality. This product (hydraulic components, diesel engines) is used to complete the finished Hitachi excavators. Assembly of the quarry machines themselves is carried out in the assembly shops of HCM in Japan, in the same place they make all metal structures using modern welding technologies.
One of the suppliers of hydraulic equipment for HCM excavators is Kawasaki, well-known for its products, among other things, in the field of hydraulics and related systems. The company produced its first products back in 1916, and today has accumulated a wealth of experience in the production of such equipment. Kawasaki Precision Machinery Group (KPM) is part of Kawasaki. Under the KPM brand, high-quality hydraulic components are produced for mobile road construction equipment (hydraulics of excavators, hoisting-and-transport machines, loaders, etc.), hydraulic components of ship equipment and much more. All Kawasaki products undergo strict quality control and have corresponding international certificates of conformity.
On machines with a working mass of less than 80 tons, Isuzu diesels are traditionally put, which have proved themselves well in operation. For heavier excavators, Hitachi diesels are installed (models EX8000, EX3600, EX1900). In addition, the supplier of diesel engines for heavy excavators (EX5500, EX2500, EX1200) is Cummins. Cummins was founded in the USA in 1919. The powerful Cummins diesel engines have always been distinguished by high quality, good performance, reliability and durability. The engines comply with all world standards, which guarantees their reliability and durability, even in particularly difficult operating conditions – in mining operations. Cummins does not need recommendations and is familiar to consumers around the world, including in Russia. At the request of the customer, an electric motor of Hitachi production of appropriate design and power for 6 … 10 kV may be installed as the primary engine.
From the assembly shop comes a high-tech machine, adapted to work in the most severe conditions of quarries. The updated line of heavy duty excavators Hitachi weighing 180 tons includes six models (starting with EX1200-5D). All models (except EX8000) can be produced in a version with a backhoe bucket ("Backhoe Bucket") or "Shovel Bucket".
The hydraulic system includes Hitachi's ETS (Electronic Total control System), which is designed to optimize the operation of all hydraulic equipment, starting from the main pumps and ending with all the executive units (power cylinders, hydraulic motors). ETS automatically makes adjustments to the operation of hydraulic systems, providing control and access to the most efficient mode of operation of the equipment, and performs self-diagnostics. In order to optimize the operating parameters, the direct development of heavy faces for excavators establishes an additional balancing hydraulic cylinder that is hydraulically connected to the main power circuit, thus shortening the working cycle and protecting the main hydraulic cylinder of the handle. Used the system of automatic equalization of the bucket angle during digging.
The main elements of the working equipment are a hilt and boom of an all-welded box-section design made from high-alloy steel with a high tensile strength, and also a welded ladle, the elements of which are made of wear-resistant high-alloy steel.
On the turntable, the arrangement of all mechanisms is performed with the condition of ensuring free and safe access of maintenance personnel to the main units and units. The support ring is assembled from molded elements with smoothed outline contours welded to the lower support frame and is capable of withstanding particularly high loads.
The running gear is caterpillar type. The supporting frame is assembled in the form of welded construction of alloy steel with the expectation of carrying out particularly heavy work. The side caterpillar frames are welded to the supporting frame. Supporting and supporting rollers, tension wheels and drive sprockets are filled with lubricant and protected by floating seals. Thermally treated fingers of caterpillar links are made with dirt-tight seals. The mechanism of the tension of the caterpillars is hydraulic. The caterpillar shoes are made of a special rolling alloy with induction hardening, which ensures their high wear resistance.
HCM has long ceased to be just a supplier of certain types of equipment. Today the company offers a complete solution for specific customer requirements, including the use of hydraulic excavators with heavy-duty dump trucks Hitachi. Qualitative, taking into account the specifics of the application, the selection of equipment with the best combination of linear parameters of machines produced at HCM enterprises will allow to achieve the best results in work.

The oldest Jewish community in India was the Bene Israel of Mumbai. According to legend, it started as a group of shipwrecked Jews: seven men and seven women who were washed ashore around 175 B.C.E. Their cuisine was basically Indian, and they observed kashrut.
To make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and 1/4 cup oil, working the dough with your fingers to create a coarse meal. Pour in the water and knead vigorously for about 5 minutes, until a ball forms. Pour in the water and knead vigorously for about 5 minutes, until a ball forms. Add extra water if needed, a tablespoon at a time. Turn the dough out of the bowl and continue kneading until smooth. Wash out the mixing bowl and place 1 tablespoon oil in the bottom. Roll the ball in the oil several times so that all sides are coated. Cover the bowl with a damn clean dish towl and let the dough rest for 2 hours at room temperature.
Meanwhile, make the filling: In a medium skillet, heat the oil. When it is hot, add the mustard seeds; when they crackle and begin to burst, add the onion and ginger. Saut??? until the onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add the fennel, cumin and turmeric, stirring. Add the potatoes, peas, salt and water.
Reduce the heat, cover and cook for 5 minutes to combine the flavours. Stir in the cilantro and the garam masal. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Pinch off a piece of dough the size of a large walnut, keeping the rest of the dough covered. On a lightly floured surface, roll the ball into a flat disk about 4 inches in diameter. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the circle and fold over to create a semicircle. Moisten the inner edges with water and pinch them closed.
Lay each samosa flat on a plate and cover with plastic wrap or foil until all of them are ready for deep-frying.


The Deluxe Stratocaster is a 2004 special edition Squier with an impressive figured maple top (flame or quilted), white pearl pickguard. Finishes like this are typically seen on guitars costing 10 times as much. It an amazing value, and it a real Fender designed Stratocaster! These special run instruments are a cut above the crowd in visual appeal.

Cutchogue veteran headed to reunion of WWII battleship Indiana
By Joe Werkmeister
Mountainous waves crashed down on the battleship U.S.S. Indiana as it sailed with the 3rd Fleet off the coast of Japan in early June 1945. A powerful storm, which had grown stronger after separating from a previous typhoon, had rapidly advanced northeast toward the fleet. Multiple attempts to change course couldn't alter the ship's fate: a typhoon, with w inds whipping at 80 knots, landed directly above the 680-foot war vessel.
Aboard the ship that day was signalman Albert Vicarelli, a teenager from College Point, Queens. He had joined the U.S. Navy at age 17 during the height of World War II.
The ship came to a standstill as water flooded the engine room; a catapult-launched plane called a Kingfisher snapped off and disappeared into the water. Mr. Vicarelli had been assigned the top of six bunks in the sleeping quarters; he couldn't sleep for two days. The young sailors on the ship could only pray.
At one point, the ship tilted to almost 26 degrees, dangerously close to capsizing and imperiling the lives of more than 2,000 sailors. Mr. Vicarelli had never imagined the ship might overturn until that moment.
"I'll never forget it," he recalled in an interview. "We almost turned over."
By the time the typhoon passed, 36 ships had been damaged, including the Indiana. But the ship survived, just as it had withstood kamikaze strikes and multiple battles since it was launched Nov. 21, 1941, just 16 days before the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Later this month, Mr. Vicarelli, now 90, will travel to Newport News, Va., for the 2017 reunion of the U.S.S. Indiana. Only a few men remain who served aboard the ship, which was decommissioned in September 1947. Mr. Vicarelli, who has spent close to six decades of his life in Cutchogue, said his son-in-law, Arthur Connolly of Mattituck, will join him on the journey. This year's reunion, the first in a few years, will coincide with another momentous occasion: the christening of a new U.S.S. Indiana.
The Virginia class submarine will be the third ship to be named after the 19th state. The nuclear powered sub's christening on April 29 at Newport News Shipbuilding will continue a tradition that dates back to 1797 with the U.S.S. Constitution in Boston, according to the Indiana Commissioning Committee.
"I'm looking forward to it," Mr. Vicarelli said. "There's a few guys I'll be glad to see."

Mr. Vicarelli, the son of Italian immigrants, spent the majority of his time in the Navy as a signalman, which meant specializing in visual communication. The ships would rely on the signalman to relay key messages. After the war he became a member of the Marine Corps, serving as a master sergeant. His military career spanned nearly three decades, he said.
He and his wife, Joan, married in 1952 and had two children, Kenny and Lorraine. Mr. Vicarelli said he splits his time now between the North Fork and Connecticut, where his one grandson lives.
Mr. Connolly, who recently retired from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said he always looks forward to hearing Mr. Vicarelli share stories from his time during the war.
"I'm sure [the trip] is going to trigger some memories from Al about the old Indiana," he said.
Mr. Connolly said it's vital to remember the sacrifices made by the servicemen and to understand just how devastating the war was.
"Every war is horrible," he said, "but that was truly a world war and I don't think people realize the significance of it."
Mr. Vicarelli remains spry; he still drives and remembers vivid details of his time aboard the Indiana. For example, there was the time he dove down into an air duct as a Japanese plane dropped a torpedo toward the ship. Somehow, the torpedo didn't go off and left only a dent in the side of the ship. The kamikazes were always a threat, he said, estimating that the ship shot down at least 25 kamikaze planes.
The Indiana, which had a top cruising speed of just under 28 knots, was equipped with a bevy of weapons. As planes approached, they were met with quad 40 mm Bofors guns. The deck would fill with shells as the weapon rapid-fired. The next layer of defense were the 20 mm Oerlikon cannons. One plane that had been shot down came crashing down so close to the ship, Mr. Vicarelli said, that he could see the pilot, who appeared to already be dead.
At 8:05 a.m. on Aug. 15, 1945, the Indiana's crew received word of the Japanese surrender.
"I knew it was over because we had the largest armada of aircraft," he said. "There was over 1,000 planes going in to bomb Japan. They hadn't surrendered yet. Then they got up in front of the ship and they dropped the bombs all in the water. I started a rumor, the war must be over."
As he stood on the bridge a short time later — the war now confirmed as over — his chief signalman told him to report to the sergeant in charge of the marine detachment. He was being transferred to the 4th Reinforced Combat Regiment of the 6th Marine Division.
His mission was to join a team that would make up the landing force at Yokosuka. As part of the agreement with the Japanese, white flags were placed at every gun emplacement.
"There must have been 1,000 flags," said Mr. Vicarelli, who was among the first Americans on Japanese soil after the war.

He teamed up with a Marine named Teddy Styrzo and part of their job was to damage or dismantle the guns. At one point, they stumbled across a large building that contained hundreds of miniature submarines, which were like torpedoes guided by one or two men. They later encountered three Japanese soldiers, who raised their arms in surrender. It was beginning to get late and the two didn't know what to do with the soldiers. They spent the night awake, keeping an eye on them. The next morning, they found a squad of Marines with a lieutenant. They left the prisoners with the Marines and continued on their mission.
"They were walking along and he said, 'We just kept walking and walking and they kept eating our food,' " Mr. Connolly said. "He said, "Finally, we run into these big pile of Marines, and we say, they're all yours!' "
All these years later, Mr. Vicarelli still has mementos from his time in Japan and aboard the Indiana: a small Japanese flag, the weaponry shells, a rifle and logs from the ship that documented details about day-to-day activities. His uniform from the Marines remains pressed as if ready to be worn at a moment's notice.
As he approaches the upcoming reunion, Mr. Vicarelli acknowledged that while he still feels great, his time may be short. The stories of the U.S.S. Indiana are left to a select few.
"I'm one of the lucky ones," he said.

Giant U.S. Computer Security Breach Exploited Very Common Software
A cybersecurity expert explains how hackers used SolarWinds to steal information from government and industry organizations
By Sophie Bushwick on December 15, 2020

A hacking campaign has gained access to private information from a number of government and industry organizations, including the U.S. Departments of Treasury, Commerce and Homeland Security. The cyberattacks, which were first reported this past weekend, were carried out by compromising a software platform produced by a vendor called SolarWinds.
"We are aware of a potential vulnerability which, if present, is currently believed to be related to updates which were released between March and June 2020 to our Orion monitoring products," Kevin Thompson, president and CEO of SolarWinds, explained in a prepared statement shared via e-mail. "We believe that this vulnerability is the result of a highly-sophisticated, targeted and manual supply chain attack by a nation state. We are acting in close coordination with FireEye, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the intelligence community, and other law enforcement to investigate these matters."
Because thousands of clients rely on SolarWinds' products, experts expect more breaches to be revealed in the coming days. Scientific American spoke with Ben Buchanan, a professor specializing in cybersecurity and statecraft at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, about why so many organizations rely on such third-party software and how its compromise made them vulnerable to cyberattack.
[An edited transcript of the interview follows.]
How did the hackers manage to compromise so many groups?
The heart of the issue here is that for big organizations, like government agencies or corporations, their computer networks are incredibly complex. And they oftentimes turn to software to try to manage these computer networks: understand how the traffic flows, what devices are on their network, how things are configured. SolarWinds is an example of this kind of software that seems to be quite widely used throughout the government and industry. But because it's used to manage these networks, it has a position of privilege where it can see a lot of what goes on. If you compromise SolarWinds, it then becomes possible to compromise the broader computer network.
Is that what happened here?
That's right. We're still learning more, but what it seems occurred is that hackers somehow gained the ability to manipulate the code of SolarWinds itself; essentially they put a backdoor into SolarWinds that let them carry out malicious activity. And the customers of SolarWinds downloaded this software update to their systems, not realizing it was in part malicious, at some point [after] March—and once they did this, they essentially gave the hackers an entry point into their network. From there the hackers began doing things like harvesting passwords and other credentials to try to get further access to each of these networks that they [had] compromised with the initial toehold given to them by compromising SolarWinds.
With the passwords that they acquired, they almost certainly used that to get access to more computers and more accounts within the target organizations. It seems their end goal was getting not just passwords, but also files and the like, and then pulling those pieces of information back out in an espionage operation. I think it probably is too soon to say how extensive that espionage was, and it's too soon to say how many of the possible victims actually were breached in this way. SolarWinds says it was fewer than 18,000 organizations—which is not a reassuring number, because it's big. That seems to be the upper end on the reach of the espionage operation.
Thousands of organizations use SolarWinds, but how many more rely on other, similar software?
I'm sure every large organization relies on something similar to manage a network that's particularly complicated. This kind of enterprise management is just part of running a modern, large organization—and the challenge right now is that these organizations have to trust somebody's software. In this case, one of the companies that they trusted turns out to have been breached. I'm sure SolarWinds is not the only organization that's in this position of trust. And I'm sure any organization that sees itself used by so many high-profile targets is itself a target.
How do investigators figure out who is responsible for attacks like this?
Just as police investigate a string of bank robberies by looking for a method of operations, or forensic evidence that links one robbery to the next, you can do the same thing with hacking operations. Investigators—often in the private sector, sometimes in the government—will look across a series of cases to build a pattern of operations for the hackers. And they will cluster different patterns of operations to different groups. And what the reporting indicates, in this case, is that the pattern of activity suggested this was the Russian SVR intelligence service that we've seen carry out very sophisticated hacking operations against the United States and worldwide targets before—never a destructive attack, but always these intricate espionage operations that hit high-value targets.
What do you predict is going to happen next?
The next step is definitely going to be a very thorough investigation that is one of the most significant cyber investigations we've seen, just because the scope of this breach is so big. We're talking about potentially hundreds or thousands of organizations—likely hundreds I would say—that could have been compromised in this breach. Once an agency as sophisticated as the SVR gets access to a network, they're very hard to get out. So, remediating this breach is going to be difficult. We're going to start to realize, in the weeks to come, some degree of the information that was taken, some degree of who the victims are. [With] every single one of those, I think it's going to be another blow and raise the level of concern about this operation.
How can the cybersecurity community defend against this type of attack?
This is a scenario, because the intrusions were so well done, when it's hard to come up with a list of easy fixes. Because these are sophisticated adversaries, they compromised a system, SolarWinds, that was incredibly widely used and widely trusted. They essentially exploited that trust to carry out their operations, and that is something that's really hard to defend against. This is not the same thing as just fixing a single software vulnerability and applying a patch—it's a lot more difficult to combat this kind of threat.
This sheds some light on just how fierce the competition is between nations in cyberspace. We spend a lot of time talking about things like deterrence, norms and signaling between nations. But my view is that this kind of activity—competition, espionage, well below the threshold of conflict, what I call shaping the international environment to suit one's ends—that's par for the course in cybersecurity. So, while this is certainly a high-water mark, the daily competition that leads to events like this is par for the course. And I think we probably need to spend more time in the policy world thinking about the implications of that. It's pretty clear right now [that] the status quo, both in policy and in technology, does not let us deter this activity, and does not let us technically block this activity.

Recently I was over at Livingston Brook Farm, picking up hay, when Patty brought out a vintage box from the back of her truck. It was around the size of a small toaster and on faded cardboard I could read the name Via Veneto Espresso Maker. I wasn't even sure what it was? I had never seen this sort of device before? She found it while cleaning out her mom's closets on a recent visit, no one in her immediate family wanted it. Since she's a confirmed tea drinker it was my turn to take it or pass. I took it. Oh boy do I not regret that choice.
This little device is amazing. It works on the stove top using pressure, steam, espresso and magical engineering to make smooth cafe-style coffee at home. It took me a few forums and videos to learn the best way to use this beast: but I have it down now and finally learned how to steam milk without scalding it. In the morning I can set it up to perk out a few shots of espresso and then I can pour the foamy milk on top for a true coffee-house style latte! I wake up looking forward to this new ritual. Sometimes I add some vanilla and sugar. Sometimes I just dump 2 shots of the high octane into a regular cup of coffee. It's a caffeinated dream come true.
I never knew this type of coffee maker existed. I knew of the high end mini-fridge sized machines people buy or indie bookstores use at small cafes. I knew of the tiny inverted triangle styles of high-pressure espresso makers and other small percolators. But I didn't know of these pressurized coffee/steam combinations that don't need an outlet to do everything the coffee hulks at Starbucks can do. If you're a coffee person like I am, might be worth looking into this bad boy. There are used ones just like this on ebay for around $90 and a newer version called The Bellman is over $300!
I'm going to try and hold onto this. So often when something like this comes my way I end up neglecting it or selling it. This was a gift from a friend and it's special. It makes snowy mornings in an uncertain life brighter. It makes vanilla lattes part of my morning using drug-store coffee and milk from Stewarts. It fits this joint just fine.

T. Dhamankar, is a 66 years old elderly woman living in S.K.Mansion, Delisle Road. She has no major physical issues. She lost her husband at a young age and has been working as a domestic helper for many years. She has brought up her only son through a lot of struggles and lives with him and her daughter in law.
She was harassed by her daughter in law and did not feel supported by her son. She was beaten by daughter in law and tense. FWA member, her neighbor referred her to the FWA for help. Due to the situation of physical abuse, she was provided with mental support and counseled about her rights as well as medico – legal requirements. She decided to visit the police station with the FWA team and reported the matter. Her son and daughter in law were dealt with strongly at the police station with a warning.
FWA team worked with the FWA senior citizens volunteer members who lived near Dhamankar to keep regular visit to her and informed the community mandal as well as her immediate relations. Her family was informed that such incidence of abuse must not repeat. Her daughter in law continued to verbally abuse her but gradually reduced as she realized Dhamankar has support from FWA and others.
She started experiencing symptoms of fear and depression for which she was referred to the mental health clinic for assessment and treatment.
She gradually got introduced to the FWA services for the elderly and participated regularly as she found a space, where she could express herself, she gained information and could assert herself with her family as well as avenues for relaxation and recreation. She now has the confidence to seek action and protect herself as she wants legal guidance to protect her house ownership.

Here we are talking about Side Effects Of Green Tea Fat Burner t5c and how to lose weight fast . This information is simple but critical to weight loss. The food labels are quite important for you to read. Do not shy away from them. Read them. An example will illustrate this.
This is quite a revelation. It is so simple but so important. That is almost a 7 to 1 difference. Whoa! This is pretty serious. Eat limas like this every day and gain 2 to 3 pounds in a month.
These ideas and fundamentals on weight loss are not complicated. Spend some time reading and understanding them. You want to achieve Side Effects Of Green Tea Fat Burner t5c and how to lose weight fast , so here is the core information. Burning calories goes along with the activity of your body during your day. When you eat a meal or a snack, you are consuming calories. If it happens that you are using more calories than you have eaten on a particular day, then the additional calories you are burning are usually coming stored fat in your body.
Do you think that this will be hard to learn? You can do this. It is not tough and not complicated. The average person burns between 2000 and 2500 calories daily. For an average person, a daily diet will be from 2000 calories to 2500 calories. This is the case of balance. A person is eating the same amount of calories as he or she is burning. Their weight does not change in this case.
This is pretty easy stuff here. Stay with this discussion. If we bring this into an example, let us say that your diet in one day has 2000 calories in it. If you want to lose weight, then burn more than 2000 calorie daily, or eat less than 2000 calories daily, or both of these. Just a little arithmetic, that's all this is. So I bet you agree that this is easy stuff.
There are nutrition labels on all the foods that you are getting at the grocery store. Check them out. The calorie information is there.

Just so struck by the simplicity that is Christ. When Jesus broke into our world, he walked, he loved, he didnt seek anything for himself and in that he was the first born among many brothers and sisters.
The simplicity of knowing this Christ life in us and just being. Living in whatever community we are in, embracing all that that is. Engaging every moment, letting it be real and present to us so that Christ lives utterly through us. Being that fragrance of Christ that astounds because we are alive in Him and aware and attentive in those moments. Each moment rooted and grounded in Love, His love in us, for us and for those who God has invading our moments. Loving, regardless. Loving because that is who we are in Christ, because it is who He was and is.
Simple right? It is, and yet we know it isnt. There is this battle between flesh and spirit. Between that which is old and that which is vitally and lifegivingly new. Which is why Paul said "Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
We walk this old and ancient path, the road less travelled, pain and grief are just a part of the journey. It's life, sh1t happens. But God! Every single stone, rock, thorn that rises up and bites us. Every fleshly, angry, hurtful decision we make that sends us crashing to our knees, is not God sticking his foot out so we crash and learn some "life lessons"! Its just life and part of growing up into the Head. BUT GOD, knows all this. He knows we are going to crash and burn. So he made provision for us in this, that in our belovedness and in our grief and in our lonelyness and in our hurt in our participation in His purpose of all ways being conformed into the image of his beloved son, that we would KNOW that he works ALL things together for good. I look back over those things in my life that, Oh my goodness I would never want to live in that space again without knowing what I know now, and I KNOW that this God of wonder and the lover of my soul has indeed worked all things together for Good. He takes my blunderings and weaves them into the tapestry of His love for me and my love for him so their outcome is one of the most intricate and beautiful patterns in the whole.
I am my beloved and He is mine.

It's hard to impress today's audiences-everything must be bigger, richer, and bolder. The simplest way to find readers'attention would be to capitalise on the newest technologies that permit you to show brilliant, eye-catching material positive to captivate any viewer. How can you achieve this? The solution is a movie wall installation. Number You May possibly Question That What Is just a Video Wall? A movie wall is a display applying numerous screens. This permits people to create larger pictures by utilizing most of the monitors together or flow different content to each monitor individually. Sometimes one monitor is insufficient, and applying one extra-large screen can be hugely expensive. That's why utilizing an installation with multiple displays is a more tailor-made, dynamic, and cost-effective solution for all your content. This type of screen will be practical in many different conditions, and that engineering happens to be in high demand. If you are hunting for additional details on Restaurant background music system, click on the above site.
In the current forward-thinking earth, there is an increasing curiosity about bright multimedia content, which will be probable to show everywhere thanks to developments in flat-screen engineering, larger screen resolutions, and innovations in Professional A/V manufacturing. Do You Require a Video Wall? There are many of reasons you might need one. Multi-screen displays are known for their versatility. They're the hottest engineering for just about any place that wants to produce high-definition pictures and promotional content. Not just are they a striking way to market or broadcast information in public places places, but they are also perfect for security systems that want shut monitoring. Some community places that take advantage of such features are transport locations, stadiums, eateries, hospitals, stock transactions, casinos, conference centres, schools and universities. Movie walls are also suitable for production galleries, get a grip on areas, transmission services, a place of sale, protection and camera surveillance. There's a broad array of areas wherever you might see a multi-screen display, in both the public and the personal sector.
That is since this engineering is flexible to almost any occasion. If your organization needs a way to present digital content, then here is the perfect solution. How Does it Perform? Video wall techniques need a control, or processor, to manage the content that gets exhibited on the screens. There are a selection of various kinds of controllers you'll find to meet your needs. Some of those controllers enable you to select in your media people and play this content immediately from there, while others enable you to customize content utilising the software. It's important to choose the right controller for you personally, and when you do, you can cause the trusted and spectacular exhibit that you need.

Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming off the ends, removing loose and yellowing leaves, and cutting them in half, top to bottom.
Prepare the Carrots by peeling, cutting off the ends, then cutting each carrot in half lengthwise. Next, slice each half into 1/8″ thick half-moons.
Crush, peel and roughly chop the Garlic cloves.
Peel and thinly slice the Brown Onions.
Soften the Chicken broth cube in 1/2 cup warm water.
Place the Olive Oil and all of the ingredients, except the canned Tomatoes and Chicken broth, into a large wok, over High heat.
Sauté the vegetables for 4 to 5 minutes, tossing with two spatulas the entire time, to soften the Garlic and Onions and thoroughly heat all of the vegetables.
Pour in the canned Tomatoes and the Chicken broth. Stir well.
Cover the contents of the wok with a lid, and reduce the heat to Medium-Low.
After 3 minutes, remove the lid and stir.
Steam the vegetables until the Brussels sprouts are tender but still crisp and green.
Remove the lid after 5 minutes, and remove a sprout to taste. Cook a few minutes more if necessary.
Cook the beans until just tender and still slightly crisp.
Pour over the beans and serve soon.
Silverbeet and corn on the cob ripen at the same time in the New Zealand summer, so make a colorful and delicious soup. Be careful to avoid overcooking the corn.
1 – Remove the leaves from the stems of the Silverbeet and cut the leaves into large pieces. Rinse thoroughly and drain.
2 – Heat the Olive Oil in a Wok or large skillet, and saute the Garlic for 1 minute.
3 – Add the Silverbeet leaves, a sprinkle of Salt and a couple of grinds of Fresh Black Pepper, and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
4 – Add corn to the Wok and toss and stir. Place a lid on the Wok to steam for about 2 minutes, until the silverbeet is tender.
Quantities of the above ingredients, according to number of people being served.
Sauté the Garlic in hot Olive Oil in a Wok over High heat, for 1 minute until beginning to brown.
Add Sun-dried Tomatoes to Garlic and sauté for 1 more minute.
Add the Spinach, Salt and Pepper, and toss to coat the Spinach with Oil and mix all the ingredients well.
Continue to cook and toss as the Spinach begins to wilt.
Add a lid to the Wok, and turn down the heat to Low.
Allow to steam for 3 minutes. Taste to be sure Spinach is tender.
Pour contents of Wok into a heated serving bowl and sprinkle with the Parmesan Cheese.
The Farmers' Market in Whangarei, New Zealand was a source of the summer's best freshly picked corn. We developed this simple and delicious recipe to enjoy aboard ADAGIO while were were stuck in the Town Basin Marina for ADAGIO's 12-year refit. Use very fresh corn. Keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the soup.
This soup is quick to make, and quite satisfying. You should obtain good results using frozen corn, but I have not tried this. Be sure not to overcook the corn, or it will lose its sweetness. If you cannot obtain Chorizo sausage, use a lean, smoked bacon, and remove the fat from the pan before you add the onion and garlic. Do not overcook the sausage, as you want to get your teeth into it when you are eating the soup. Be sure to use Sweet smoked paprika, NOT HOT smoked paprika. There is a big difference.
Over Medium heat, in a medium sized soup pot, heat the oil.
Sauté the Chorizo and onion, until the onion is translucent, but not until brown.
Turn up the heat to High and using two spatulas or wooden spoons toss all the ingredients for a few minutes, until all is heated and covered with oil. Do not allow ingredients to sit in the pot. Keep tossing, as in a stir-fry, until the corn is heated, but not burned and not over-cooked.
Add the chicken broth and the Paprika.
Stir until the soup is hot. Do not boil, or you will overcook the corn.
Remove the pot from the stove top.
Blend the soup with a hand blender to thicken, but leave at least half of the corn kernels whole.
Garnish each bowl of soup with the crisp slices of Chorizo sausage.
Serve immediately with crusty bread and a little hard cheese.
Place olive oil, brussels sprouts, onions and salt and pepper in a skillet or a Wok.
Stir fry over High heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until everything is hot and covered with oil.
Pour in the hot chicken broth, bring to a boil, place a lid on the pan, reduce the heat to Low and simmer.
Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a microwave for 2 minutes on High, or in an oven.
Stir the brussels sprouts from time to time, checking to be sure that the liquid has not boiled away.
Add small amounts of hot water from time to time if necessary.
Taste a hot brussels sprout after 5 or more minutes of steaming. If still hard and "raw", replace the lid and continue to steam.
When the brussels sprout is cooked through and still "crisp", remove the skillet from the burner, leaving the lid on.
Just before serving, stir in the toasted walnuts, and pour into a warm serving dish.
As we have resolved to eat more vegetables, I have developed a fool-proof method for cooking delicious mixed vegetables in my Wok.
You will need a Wok or skillet with a lid and 2 heat-proof spatulas.
First you will stir-fry the vegetables and seasonings in hot oil, then add chicken broth and steam until the vegetables are just cooked.
Add the Beans, Carrots and Sun-dried Tomatoes, and toss to completely coat with Oil and to heat through.
Place the lid on the Wok, and turn down the heat to steam for 4 minutes. Add a little water if the broth evaporates away.
Taste the Beans to test for tenderness.
When the Beans are tender, pour the mixture into a serving dish.

DHS Sec. Mayorkas Touts New 'Misinformation and Disinformation Governance Board'
Craig Bannister | April 27, 2022 | 4:31pm EDT
DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas
(Screenshot)
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has created a new entity to police "misinformation" and "disinformation," DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told the House Appropriations DHS Subcommittee on Wednesday.
Sec. Mayorkas made the revelation while outlining DHS efforts to ensure election security and thwart Russian efforts to meddle in U.S. elections, particularly by feeding false information to American minorities.
When Rep. James Langevin (D-RI) asked how DHS plans to shore up election security and fend off Russian cyber-interference, Mayorkas said that a new "miss-and-disinformation governance board" has already been created. The new board is now advising and providing resources to the nation's secretaries of state, Mayorkas explained:
"We have just established a miss-and-disinformation governance board in the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively combat this threat, not only to election security, but to our homeland security.
"We are disseminating information to the secretaries of state. We are counseling them and providing resources to ensure better physical security. We are addressing all aspects of election security given, of course, the midterm elections that are upon us, and the fundamental integrity of our democratic processes that is at stake."
At another point in the hearing, Sec. Mayorkas said the "misinformation-disinformation governance board" will also be used to protect minorities from being misled by foreign countries attempting to disrupt U.S. elections:
"Our Undersecretary for Policy, Rob Silvers, is co-chair with our Principal Deputy General Counsel Jennifer Gaskell, in leading a just-recently constituted misinformation-disinformation governance board. So we're bringing — the goal is to bring the resources of the department together to address this threat."

US Post Office–Williamstown Main is a historic post office at 56 Spring Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts.  Built in 1932, it is an architecturally significant local example of Classical Revival architecture.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

Description and history
The Williamstown Main Post Office is located in the town's central business district, on the east side Spring Street opposite Bank Street.  The rectangular Neo-Classical building is made of Flemish bond brick on a granite foundation, and with marble detailing.  Granite steps with wrought iron railings lead up to the main entrance, which is sheltered by a gabled portico supported by Tuscan columns.  Windows are either set in round-arch openings, or in rectangular ones with splayed headers.  The building is topped by a parapet alternating broad brick piers and sections of balustrade.  In the lobby the floor is tiled quarry marble with marble strip details.  The walls have a marble panel wainscoting that is topped by plaster.  The principal modern intrusions are a glass and aluminum vestibule, and a handicap access ramp.

The post office was built by the federal government in 1932, during a period when the Postal Service was embarked in a construction program designed to provide jobs during the Great Depression.  Prior to the construction of this building, the town's post office (established in 1798) was typically located in one of the town's commercial establishment.  The building was designed by James Wetmore and built by the New England General Contractors Company on a site most recently occupied by the town's high school.

Q: RAII and assignment I created the following class for an sqlite3 connection:
class SqliteConnection
{
public:
    sqlite3* native;

    SqliteConnection (std::string path){
        sqlite3_open_v2 (path.c_str(), &native, SQLITE_OPEN_READWRITE | SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE, NULL);
    }

    ~SqliteConnection (){
        sqlite3_close(native);
    }
}

and then one can initialize a connection as follows
SqliteConnection conn("./database.db");

However, I would like to be able to share this connection, store it as a member in classes, etc., and the trouble is with the default assignment operator operator=. Doing something like
SqliteConnection conn("./database.db");
SqliteConnection conn1 = conn;

would lead to two sqlite3_close calls on the database pointer as each variable goes out of scope. How do you overcome this difficulty with RAII when you need to assign your resource to a different variable?

A: For shared resources you will have to keep track of wether references to them exist, e.g. using reference counting. One implementation is boost::shared_ptr with a custom deleter:
class SqliteConnection {
    boost::shared_ptr<sqlite3> native;
public:
    SqliteConnection(const std::string& path)
      : native(init_connection(path), &destroy_connection)
    {}
    // ...
};

sqlite3* init_connection(const std::string& path) {
    // ...
    return ptr;
}

void destroy_connection(sqlite3* p) {
    sqlite3_close(p);
}

A: Put the connection in a shared_ptr. On assignment all what you have to do is to assign "shared_ptr"s to have shared ownership of the resource(connection). Otherwise you have to implement shared ownership for your class which already has been done in boost and is included in C++0x.

A: You have four basic options:

*

*Use reference counting, probably through a shared_ptr. This is the least efficient, but it's the most general solution.

*Prohibit assignments. Don't allow the user to copy the SQLite object. Make the assignment operator and copy constructors private. Then users will have to pass pointers or references around instead.

*Let assignment "steal" the resource. This is what auto_ptr does. a = b results in a taking ownership of b's connection, and b being set to a null value, as an empty, unusable object.

*Create a new connection when a copy is created. This depends on the sqlite API providing the necessary functionality. In particular, queries and other connection-specific data may have to be copied as well, which might be impractical

A seven-year-old Palestinian boy throws stones at an Israeli tank. The photo is pseudonymous — the Arab who takes such a picture is subject to arrest, imprisonment, torture and having his or her family's home demolished. In the event that a soldier oversteps these limits and kills the photographer, the odds are good that Israel's legal system will leave the act unpunished.
This mediating role had endured for more than forty years. Henry Kissinger created it with his "shuttle diplomacy" of the 1970s. All later Presidents and Secretaries of State strove to maintain it. All later Presidents and Secretaries of State were jealous of the American monopoly over Middle East mediation, even to forcibly grabbing hold of negotiations processes started without them — between Israel and Egypt in 1978, between Israel and the Palestinians in 1993. Until Donald Trump came along and in typical Trumpian style decided to spectacularly smash up this mediation role.
What now? Well, for some time there will be no mediator in the Middle East, and hence no kind of Peace Process. But sooner or later, the vacuum is going to be filled. Who might fill it? One name which comes to mind is of Russia's Vladimir Putin, who had just shown himself able to play a highly effective and energetic — though quite brutal — role in Syria. Russia has long-standing cordial relations with the Palestinians, in the past decade Putin has built up intensive relations with Netanyahu as well. Taking up the abandoned mediation role between Israel and the Palestinians would fit nicely within Putin's project of restoring Russia's global power.
Then, the European Union — even though beset by many crises — might take up a more assertive role in the Middle East. Especially France, which has traditionally tended to take its own independent initiatives. Or even China, which not so long ago appointed its own Middle East representative.
Altogether, there might eventually emerge a mediator or mediators who would be a bit more impartial than we had so far. And if so, there might be an ironical reason to feel grateful to Donald Trump.
