HIS 501 Historiography
This course provides a deep-level exploration into the study of history and historical writing, focusing on the craft and profession of history and its relationship to society. The course contends with the changing nature of historical interpretations and arguments, and the role of historical meta-narratives in shaping one's understanding and experience of history. Students are asked to position and evaluate their own thinking in relation to various historical analyses, defending a preferred approach to a relevant area of interest.
HIS 502 Historical Methods
Historians use a wide variety of methods and approaches to the study, analysis, and evaluation of historical accounts and sources. This course offers students an opportunity to investigate various methodological approaches and the relationships between method, theory, and interpretation in historical research. Students will design an initial research proposal and articulate how a chosen methodology positions them appropriately to address the central issues and problems of their research.
HIS 510 Comparative History and Research
Comparative research is a valuable tool for historians to be able to discover possible historical and social connections across separate historical settings. This course introduces students to best practices, issues, and challenges of comparative history approaches. Central to the course is the development of effective research practices in comparative history: identifying appropriate sources, articulating the context and focus of a research project, and making an informed and supported argument. This course will use the topic of democratic revolutions to model comparative research.
HIS 520 Historical Lenses and Scholarship
What does it mean to focus on the economic issues of an historical event? What considerations of race, gender, class, or other lenses of difference can be made to illuminate the social and cultural experiences of people throughout history? The central focus of this course is to provide students with an exploration into various lenses of historical research and analysis and how these lenses can structure the types of questions an historian asks. The course uses the topic of transatlantic slavery to introduce several lenses that can be applied to future topics of interest to students. Students will integrate best practices for the production and writing of historical scholarship using a chosen lens (or lenses) of analysis.

Lenovo has urged its users to download and update the latest BIOS firmware update that disables a controversial "unwanted software" from Lenevo PCs, notebooks and laptops.
After much criticism, Lenovo finally broke silence on the matter- unauthorized installation of certain programs in large number of Lenovo computers. The company was using a "rootkit-like" technique to install certain programs forcefully on a large number of its Windows laptops and PCs. Lenovo was using BIOS to keep track of certain applications on Windows' system files and overwrite it on boot-up with its in-house alternative called Lenovo Service Engine (LSE).
Furthermore, a vulnerability was found in the way the company was tweaking the BIOS. The vulnerability, if exploited, allowed an attacker to gain admin-level access of the system and install malicious code. Lenovo issued a patch to fix it on July 31, but it requires manual installation.
In a public announcement, the company has now said that its latest BIOS firmware, which was released on July 31, disables the script which allowed automatic reinstallation of unwanted software even after a full Windows wipe. The vulnerability affected a large pool of Lenovo PCs and laptops including Flex 3 1120, Yoga 3 11, and Horizon 2 27 among others. All the new laptops that shipped after June 2015 aren't affected with the said vulnerability.
"The vulnerability was linked to the way Lenovo utilised a Microsoft Windows mechanism in a feature found in its BIOS firmware called Lenovo Service Engine (LSE) that was installed in some Lenovo consumer PCs. Think-brand PCs are unaffected," wrote Lenovo.
The update firmware is available to download from company's website. Depending on the configuration of your BIOS, Lenovo has also put up instructions to help you install the update on your machine.
Lenovo notebooks: Flex 2 Pro 15 (Broadwell), Flex 2 Pro 15 (Haswell), Flex 3 1120, Flex 3 1470/ 1570, G40-80/ G50-80/ G50-80 Touch, S41-70/ U41-70, S435/ M40-35, V3000, Y40-80, Yoga 3 11, Yoga 3 14, Z41-70/ Z51-70, Z70-80/ G70-80.
Lenovo desktops (world wide): A540/ A740, B4030, B5030, B5035, B750, H3000, H3050, H5000, H5050, H5055, Horizon 2 27, Horizon 2e (Yoga Home 500), Horizon 2S, C260, C2005, C2030, C4005, C4030, C5030, X310 (A78), X315 (B85).

There are simple techniques available to extend battery life of your laptop. Some of these tips are for when you need to increase your battery at that very moment, while others are preventative measures, best implemented before your battery life comes up short.
To access this file, simply follow the path which will be displayed in command prompt window after completion of the command. Read This file to understand that what program in your system is consuming more power and degrading the performance.
Don't use a screensaver. They're unnecessary on modern displays and will drain your battery to do nothing useful when your display could be off and saving power.
Run fewer programs in the background.
Avoid maxing out your RAM. If your laptop's RAM is full, try to make more RAM available — close programs running in the background or try to upgrade your laptop's RAM.
A problem that many Windows 8 users is facing is that it will not play your DVDs or Blu-Ray discs. The reason is that Microsoft is not paying for the right to use the patented software technology needed to play DVDs anymore because most devices in the market nowadays do not even have optical drives. If you are a movie buff you will have to find third-party software that can play your disks such as VLC.
If you want to enhance Windows 8 you will have to pay Microsoft extra money to download the Media Centre software. This will enable DVD and Blue-Ray support. If you are using plain vanilla Windows 8 you will need to upgrade to the Pro pack, which comes with Media Center and some other unrelated features. Microsoft itself advises people to buy third-party DVD software instead of doing this. This is because upgrading will cost you more than Rs 5,000. It is best to avoid it.
If you are already using Windows 8 Pro you can download the Media Center pack for around Rs 550. Just open Control Panel, and click "Add Features to Windows 8". You will be shown the upgrade available, depending on which version of Windows 8 you are using.
Those who have bought the Enterprise edition of Windows 8 will not be able to download the Media Center pack. It is best for them to download or buy additional software.
ZTE Telecom India, a wholly owned subsidiary of China's ZTE Corp., has launched 3G data cards in India.
"India is an important market for ZTE and this is our first step to enter the open market and cater to the needs of the masses," said ZTE India Director Terminals Business Yuan Kang.
The company has partnered with HCL Infosystems' wholly owned subsidiary Digilife Distribution and Marketing Services for channel distribution and Flipkart.com for online sales.
ZTE is initially introducing two models, one with 14.4 MBPS download speed, which is a WiFi enabled hotspot, and another with 7.2 MBPS download speed.
The 14.4 mbps data card is priced at Rs 2,250, and the 7.2 mbps datacard at Rs 1,799.
How to replace the hard drive for your laptop?
Before removing the hard drive manually, you must keep in mind that it is a not easy job which should be done with utmost care and caution. You must carry a set of small screwdriver because it will help you to open laptop's hard drive. In case you are not sure enough about the way of taking of the hard drive from the case, it is better to refer the user manual. Get some tips from the user manual of how hard drive has to be taken out of the laptop. Once you take it out from the case, things become really easy for you because you can now know the dimension as well as type.
Problems are not yet over as there are a lot of laptops that use hard drives of the same dimension so again you need to find out the most appropriate hardware to go well with your laptop.
Once you finally get the correct hard drive for your laptop, you also need to check the type of connection which is compatible with the laptop. Mainly there are two types of connection – SATA and PATA are used to connect drives to the laptop. In case you have purchased the laptop within the last six years then most probably it would have SATA as it is an industry standard which is used with most of the PCs. But if it manufactured before 2003 then probably it would have a PATA connection which is outdated now.
Just have a quick look on the back of the drive which is labelled with the connector type. Now use the connector accordingly and place the hard drive in its place within the laptop.
Lenovo has launched two Windows 8 laptops called the IdeaPad Y500 and Z500. Both laptops have third-generation Intel processors and their high-end models come with graphic cards.

BatteryBar, a superb power gauge that's compatible with XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
Normally, if you want Windows' read on how much battery life is left, you have to mouse over the tiny System Tray power icon. BatteryBar adds a full-time, at-a-glance gauge to the right side of the taskbar.
That gauge shows you either a percentage of battery life remaining or the amount of runtime left; clicking it toggles between the two readings. Interestingly, when you're running on AC power, the gauge switches from green to blue and shows how long until you reach a full charge.
But wait, there's more: when you mouse over the gauge, a pop-up window displays a boatload of additional information, such as total battery capacity, charge/discharge rate, AC status, and even a lifetime estimate based on historical charge/discharge data. That's what I'm talking about!
BatteryBar is free, there's also a Pro version that adds more features, like a graph of battery profiles, low/critical power warnings, and automatic power-scheme switching that kicks in when you switch between AC and battery power.

HEADLINE: New U.N. Oil for Food Documents in Hands of Congressional Investigators
INTRO: A key committee of the U.S. Congress is intensifying its investigation of corruption in the former United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. New documents from a former U.N. investigator are now in the hands of a House of Representatives panel as part of congressional efforts to obtain more information about abuses of the program. More from VOA's Dan Robinson on Capitol Hill:
TEXT: (Republican) Congressman Henry Hyde, says his House International Relations committee is reviewing the documents from Robert Parton, a former senior legal counsel with the Independent Inquiry Committee into the U.N. Oil for Food Program.
Congressman Hyde says the documents are receiving what he calls careful examination, as lawmakers press on with their investigations into the siphoning of billions of dollars from the program during its existence from 1996 to early 2003.
In a written statement Thursday, the lawmaker adds that he expects Mr. Parton will not be subject to sanction (punishment) by either the United Nations or the independent inquiry which is headed by former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker.
Speaking with VOA Thursday, a committee aide declined to characterize the documents provided to the House panel, as to quantity of content. They were provided in response to a subpoena issued to Mr. Parton, who reportedly provided the documents earlier this week.
(Republican) Senator Norm Coleman, who chairs the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, had also been preparing a subpoena for Mr. Parton, and another former investigator, Miranda Duncan.
Both resigned from the Independent Inquiry Committee in April, accusing it of downplaying U.N. Secretary General Annan's role in the Oil-for-Food scandal.
In its second interim report last March, Mr. Volcker's independent inquiry committee said it found no wrongdoing by Mr. Annan, but questioned why he didn't properly investigate possible conflicts of interest involving his son, who was employed part-time by a Swiss firm awarded a contract in Iraq.
In a statement issued Thursday, Mr. Volcker questions whether Mr. Parton's action in turning over documents sought by congressional investigators violates a confidentiality agreement he signed with the independent inquiry committee.
Mr. Volcker and Congressional committees have been arguing over requests from lawmakers that the two former investigators be permitted to testify before congressional committees.
(Republican) Congressman Christopher Shays, in a letter to Mr. Volcker and Secretary General Annan this week, said refusal to do so undermined confidence in the independent inquiry and raised questions about transparency.
But in his reply Thursday, Mr. Volcker said that investigations involving serious allegations of fraud, corruption, misuse and mismanagement must enjoy, what he calls, a degree of secrecy as evidence as being gathered to preserve the ability of the inquiry to do its work.
/// REST OPT ///
The United Nations Oil for Food Program was set up in the mid-1990s to provide food and medicine to help Iraqis cope with United Nations sanctions imposed after Saddam Hussein sent his military forces to seize Kuwait.
Billions of dollars are estimated to have been skimmed from the program by Saddam Hussein or members of his regime, and probes have also focused on possible wrongdoing by contracting companies. (signed)

Donald Trump Treasury nominee Steve Mnuchin failed to list $100 million in assets on his federal disclosure forms. | Getty
Weak vetting led to Cabinet confirmation surprises
Team Trump has been blindsided by potentially scandalous revelations about Cabinet nominees.
By JOSH DAWSEY and ELI STOKOLS
Steve Mnuchin, Donald Trump's pick to be treasury Secretary, failed to list $100 million in assets on his federal disclosure forms. Vincent Viola, nominated to be Army secretary, punched a man in the face at a horse race last summer.
The ex-wife of Andrew Puzder, the labor secretary nominee, once appeared incognito on "Oprah" to raise domestic abuse allegations, which Puzder has denied. Betsy DeVos, Trump's choice for education secretary, struggled to demonstrate a basic comprehension of department policy and basic education terms during her hearing this week. Two nominees didn't pay taxes on their household employees.
This string of startling revelations over the past two weeks caught senior members of Trump's staff by surprise, and they didn't know some of the potential for problems before Senate confirmation hearings began, sources said. A person involved in preparing several nominees said, "They nominated these people first, and then they sort of vetted them. It's exactly the reverse way you're supposed to do it, and now you see the consequences."
Ted Newton, a consultant who vetted potential nominees for Mitt Romney in 2012, said the best way to vet candidates is through repeated personal questions. "You want to see forms, you want to see their records," he said. "But you really want to know, is there someone who would say something damaging about you, do you have any dark secrets, is there anything that will come out? You have a lot of questions that are unanswerable from paper."
DeVos dodges toughest questions about public school plans
By KIMBERLY HEFLING, MICHAEL STRATFORD, CAITLIN EMMA and BENJAMIN WERMUND
A transition official, who declined to provide an on-the-record quote, said Trump's nominees were "thoroughly vetted" and predicted that all the nominees will be confirmed by the Senate. "They are prepared to serve on Day One in order to implement President-elect Trump's pro-America policies," the transition aide said.
Trump's transition aides say there are "vet files" on each of the nominees and contend that some problems wouldn't have been uncovered by transition officials no matter how thorough the background checks — which has been true of Cabinet nominees under previous presidents.
The team did take steps to prepare nominees for their appearances on Capitol Hill. The nominees were subjected to "murder boards," three-hour mock hearings where they were grilled by volunteers standing in for senators.
The nominees collectively took thousands of questions from almost 200 participants, according to the transition team. A person who worked on DeVos' panel said she was extensively questioned on education issues, and the team was privately disconcerted that she seemed to flub answers.
One attorney running the murder boards for the transition team had been confident about secretary of state nominee Rex Tillerson, based on his unflappable demeanor in multiple practice sessions. Yet Tillerson's hearing was messy, as his waffling answers on his approach to dealing with Russia drew scorn from Democrats and Republicans alike.
Less was done to help uncover the potentially embarrassing or damaging information that's come out. According to a person involved in the process, a team led by Gov. Chris Christie initially provided a cursory vetting of more than 200 proposed nominees before the election.
Trump sworn in as 45th president
By LOUIS NELSON, MADELINE CONWAY and ELI STOKOLS
That list included a number of people Trump eventually picked to join his Cabinet. But the review was based on publicly available documents, rather than questionnaires or interviews, because the team didn't want the names of those under consideration to leak, this person said. "Many of the Cabinet members were on the list," this person said.
Amid the shock and jubilation at Trump Tower in the days that followed the election, a transition operation was re-established under the control of Vice President-elect Mike Pence.
The office, based in Washington while the president-elect remained in New York, was staffed by a number of attorneys with experience overseeing transitions and preparing nominees for their congressional hearings. Several of them were new to the Trump operation. "No one thought they were going to win, so they didn't have a lot of people," said one source close to the campaign.
The process bore little resemblance to the one conducted in 2012 by Romney, who wanted FBI background checks and other reviews conducted to unearth red flags before the press or opposition researchers could. Trump told his aides to not conduct a background check on him.
After the election, Trump's team took a largely dismissive approach to paperwork in the weeks after the election, two people involved said. A growing backlog of Cabinet nominees and other positions developed in the D.C. office, one person involved in the process said. Assurances from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the prevailing spirit of broader Republican unity and pragmatism gave Trump Tower confidence that all of its nominees would be likely to win confirmation.
Republicans blow past Trump Cabinet controversies
By SEUNG MIN KIM, BURGESS EVERETT and ELANA SCHOR
Many of the nominees weren't deeply questioned on their business histories until they began preparing in earnest in recent weeks for their nomination hearings, though some were, according to the people involved with the process. Friends, former employees and others who might speak out against the nominees weren't interviewed. Trump has mused to others that the media will vet nominees.
The less-than-aggressive vetting was in part the result of having a very wealthy group of Cabinet nominees without previous government experience, who were unfamiliar with and resistant to disclosure requirements — as well as public scrutiny. Some took steps to prepare themselves, including DeVos, who essentially vetted herself, according to the person who helped with her preparation.
So far, it seems that Trump's bet has paid off. None of the details that have emerged about Trump's nominees seem to have created serious obstacles to their confirmation. "It's almost like all of the old rules don't exist anymore," said Newton, who vetted potential nominees for Mitt Romney in 2012. "In the past, nominees would have been disqualified for a tax issue or an illegal immigrant issue. It's not necessarily in this environment going to sink someone. It seems people have a much higher tolerance for what used to be a scandal."

Chitwa Chitwa is one of the most stylish lodges in the spectacular Sabi Sands Game Reserve, and offers access to 5 500 hectares of unspoilt African bushveld teeming with iconic African wildlife. The lodge is built around one of the largest lakes in the reserve, and offers superb game viewing and exacting standards of luxury. Unusually for a luxury bushveld establishment, the lodge happily accommodates children of all ages.
What makes Chitwa Chitwa special?
The foremost attraction at Chitwa Chitwa is the game viewing, which ranks right up there with the best in Africa. Rarely will guests be disappointed at what they see on the guided game drives or bush walks, which are conducted by experienced rangers with a deep affectioni for the bush. Some supremely relaxed game viewing can be had from the sun-decks of each chalet, overlooking the lake. Excursions to the nearby village of Dixie are also available for those who want to experience the rich cultural heritage of the Shangaan people. With sublime cuisine and a range of fantastic facilities, Chitwa Chitwa is perfect for the nature lover who appreciates life's little luxuries.
Unfenced from the Kruger National Park, the 65 000 hectare Sabi Sands Game Reserve is the birthplace of sustainable tourism in Africa and is arguably South Africa's greatest game viewing destination.
Particularly well-known for its dense concentration of leopards, other wildlife is prolific and, since hunting was abolished decades ago, the animals have become completely comfortable around game drive vehicles. Big Five animals abound, along with cheetah, wild dog and more than 50 other mammals. The lake in front of Chitwa Chitwa is a magnet for these creatures and a vast array of birds, while the large traversing area is home to landscapes that transition from open plains, to dense woodland, riverine forests and classic bushveld.
The lodge is beautifully integrated into the natural environment, with the lake providing a superb focal point for guests. The open-plan design blends the indoors with the outdoors, and the décor is a stylish mix between contemporary chic and African earthiness. Colourful art pieces and sculptures add a compelling visual appeal to the luxury atmosphere.
The stylish main lounge and dining areas lead out to a swimming pool and deck with panoramic views over the waterhole. A library with internet access, a boutique shop, gym and spa add to the list of amenities.
The six luxurious suites each have their own sun-deck and plunge pool facing the lake. Immensely spacious, the suites are individually-decorated and boast luxuries such as fireplaces, tea/coffee facilities, minibars, fans, hairdryers and iPod docking stations. Indoor and outdoor showers, along with a deep bathtub, give guests the freedom to choose how they want to wash off the dust after a wonderful day's game viewing.The suites can each house an extra two beds for children under the age of 12, while the Charlsy Suite has two appointed inter-leading rooms joined by a comfortable living area.
For a highly exclusive experience, groups of four can book out Chitwa House, which comes with a house butler and private ranger. A private chef can be arranged on request.
Sunrise at Chitwa Chitwa is greeted by a warming cup of coffee or tea, before guests head out for a game drive. The diurnal animals of the bush are also waking up, and can be seen going about their morning routines in the soft light. Game drives are made particularly special by the lodge's rangers, who are some of the most knowledgeable in the reserve and are dedicated to ensuring that every expectation of an African safari is surpassed. Children over the age of 6 are permitted to join adults on safaris, while families with younger children can book exclusive use of a vehicle.
After an extensive breakfast, energetic guests or those who have opted to sleep in can depart on a guided walk through the bush, coming face-to-face with wildlife, birds, plants, insects and spoor. Guided trips to the village can also depart at this time.
In the hours before lunch, the swimming pool and sundeck, as well as the beautifully-appointed spa, beckon to be tested out.
A spell-binding afternoon safari, complete with sundowners and a night drive, completes the wildlife encounters for the day. Aperetifs are followed up by a sumptuous dinner served in locations ranging from the thatched lapa, to the fire-lit boma or the elegant dining room.

admin | January 2, 2020 | Benfica, English Premier League, Manchester United, Portugal | No Comments
Manchester United are hoping to sign Gedson Fernandes from Benfica this month in an initial loan deal, according to Sky Sports, as quoted by the Daily Express.
The 20-year-old playmaker could be on his way to Old Trafford following his fall down the pecking order at the Portuguese outfit.
The report says that the Red Devils are exploring the option of signing the youngster on a six-month loan deal, which would include a £34m option to buy permanent in the summer.
The Portuguese midfielder has only made six league appearances for the Primeira Liga outfit this season and he has not featured since the start of November after falling out with manager Bruno Lage.
The report goes on to claim that United head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to try and bolster his attacking options ahead of the second half of the season.
The 20-time English champions are likely to be linked with a number of players this month after they let Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku leave the club in the summer.

Once your media is captioned, different players have different mechanisms for allowing the viewer to turn captions on or off; this page offers some guidance on how to do this.
Unlike most players, Windows Media Player defaults to not displaying captions – you need to turn on the captions to display them. First, make sure Windows Media Player is running in its own window, and not in the IE Media bar. To force Windows Media Player to launch in its own window from a link in your browser, right-click the link and select "Open in new window".
In Windows Media Player, if you are playing the captions from a local file, there is a security setting that first needs to be set before Windows Media Player will display captions in version 10 or later. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Security tab. Then check the Show local captions when present box, and click Apply.
Now, turn on the captions: open the Play tab, then the Captions menu, and make sure the On if available option is checked. Then exit the player and relaunch for the changes to take effect.
You can see other Windows Media troubleshooting tips here.
If your QuickTime player is not showing captions by default, open the Edit menu, choose Preferences and click on Player Preferences. On the General tab, check the Show closed captioning when available and the Show subtitles when available boxes, and finally click Apply. Then exit the player and relaunch for the changes to take effect. You may also need to open the View menu on the player, and click on Show Closed Captioning.

Musicians Have Fought Too Damn Hard to Let Trump Kill Net Neutrality Now
With former Verizon attorney Ajit Pai now at the helm of the FCC, plans to roll back unbiased internet access take shape. Music fans should care—and can speak out.
Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images
In October 2007, several developments occurred that have had lingering effects on the music industry over the last decade. Radiohead pioneered the surprise album drop, with the pay-what-you-want online release of In Rainbows. "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" topped the charts, becoming one of the first viral sensations to do so. And a host of musicians—including R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Kathleen Hanna, and Death Cab for Cutie—launched a new campaign in defense of an abstract idea with potentially huge implications for digital music: net neutrality.
The cause simply asks that all online data be treated equally. What this means for listeners is that broadband internet providers can't divide the web into fast and slow lanes. User design aside, you can access music via niche-oriented sites like Bandcamp as efficiently as you can via Apple or YouTube, those deep-pocketed tech giants. As OK Go frontman Damian Kulash testified before the House Judiciary Committee in 2008, "There really is some consensus here that net neutrality is good for music and good for musicians."
After a courtroom defeat and a lengthy rulemaking battle, these musicians finally celebrated victory in 2015, when the Federal Communications Commission approved regulations that effectively ensured net neutrality's survival. The new rules treat internet service as a public utility, like landline phones. That means if, say, Verizon wanted to give Spotify better bandwidth for an extra fee, it couldn't. Beyond music, AT&T can't slow down Skype on your phone, while Comcast can't mess up your Netflix to make you buy cable. All speech transmitted over the internet has to be given a level playing field. Last year, a federal appeals court all but cemented the win for net neutrality when it upheld the FCC's rules.
You can see where this is going, right? The music community has understandably been distracted by more pressing concerns since President Trump's election last November, whether becoming politically involved or donating to anti-Trump causes, defending their healthcare or marching on Washington, simply getting into the country or preserving public funding for the arts. But the clock has quietly gotten turned back, and artists or listeners who want an open internet may soon have to speak out to protect it once again.
Trump has notoriously left many administration jobs unfilled, but he wasted no time appointing Ajit Pai, a former Verizon attorney, as FCC chairman shortly after taking office. As one of the telecommunications regulator's Republican commissioners since 2012, Pai had long opposed the regulations he is now responsible for either upholding or killing. And as expected, Pai unveiled his initial blueprint for rolling back net neutrality late last month, basically trusting broadband companies to do what's best for consumers—a comforting idea for anyone who's had the pleasure of enduring most of these companies' customer service approaches. Out of a convenient capitalist belief that regulation is inherently harmful, the interests of internet service providers will, ahem, trump what artists and labels have been fighting for since George W. Bush was in office.
Pai's plan for reversing the Obama-era net neutrality rules, which he has given the Orwellian name "Restoring Internet Freedom," has already spurred almost 1 million comments on the FCC website. Helping lead the uproar, as he did three years ago with a segment gone viral, was John Oliver, who returned to the issue in the latest episode of his HBO show, "Last Week Tonight." And just like in 2014, so many people tried to contact the FCC after Oliver's segment that the website crashed. There've been reports that pro-industry spammers added to the traffic overload, but the point remains: Voicing concerns about some websites no longer working normally caused… a website not to work normally.
Musicians may not have joined the latest fray yet publicly, but they've grown more and more outspoken in support of net neutrality over the last decade. Two years ago, when the FCC's controversial chairman Tom Wheeler—a former lobbyist for the cable companies—relented on earlier plans in favor of tough net neutrality rules, those applauding included tUnE-yArDs, the Magnetic Fields, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, Speedy Ortiz, Damon & Naomi, Downtown Boys, and a whole lot more.
The Future of Music Coalition, which advocates for musicians, has been pushing for net neutrality since the beginning and kicked off the 2007 artist-led campaign, Rock the Net (such innocent times!). "Pai still has a chance to do the right thing, leave net neutrality alone, and end this attack on independent music," says Kevin Erickson, the coalition's national organizing director. "In the coming weeks and months, musicians, independent labels, and, we suspect, a whole lot of music listeners will be filing official comments urging him to do just that."
The larger industry's view on the issue is still developing. A2IM, a trade group representing indie labels, commended the 2015 vote but hasn't decided whether it will file an official comment on Pai's plan. "We need to be extremely careful about anything that could potentially result in some form of censorship or limitation of freedom of speech," says A2IM president Richard Burgess, who incidentally programmed the pioneering synth on Kate Bush's Never for Ever. "The proposed plan has huge amounts of potential for unintended consequences." In other words, Pai's proposal could squelch freedom of speech, and should be considered cautiously.
The RIAA, which represents the major labels, declined to comment for this story, but when the trade group last spoke out on the issue, in 2010, its focus was more on permitting internet service providers to stamp out illegal file-sharing. On the streaming side, Greg Barnes of DiMA (Pandora, Spotify, Apple, and more) says the trade group isn't necessarily opposed to undoing the rule that treats broadband internet as a utility service, but music fans should still have unbiased access to whatever streaming service they want.
Anyone upset about the implications of the FCC's latest plans will have plenty of chances to make their voices heard (you know, when the website actually works). A vote is set for the FCC's open meeting on May 18. The regulator is expected to keep taking comments until July 17. People would then be able to reply to those comments until August 16. The FCC would then have to put together and vote on a final set of rules, which might be a months-long process. From there, any FCC order overturning net neutrality would almost certainly end up in court. But the ultimate power lies with Congress, as dysfunctional as it has been lately. For whatever it's worth, a 2015 poll by the University of Delaware found majorities of both Republicans and Democrats supported net neutrality.
Three years ago, everyone from Michael Stipe to Neko Case to director Oliver Stone signed a letter calling for strong net neutrality rules. "The internet has enabled artists to connect directly with each other and with audiences," they wrote. "It has eliminated the barriers of geography and taken collaborations to new levels. And it has allowed people—not corporations—to seek out the film, music, and art that moves them." Like so many other noble values that were at least paid lip service across party lines until Trump, his administration apparently opposes this sentiment. Can FCC chair Pai be moved?

Massachusetts Title Clearing Act To Take Effect December 31, 2016 – Are you Ready?

Litigation & Enforcement Actions
Tagged with "Ryan Tosi", An Act Clearing Titles to Foreclosed Properties, David Fialkow, foreclosure, Ibanez
On December 31, 2016, the remedial provisions of "An Act Clearing Titles to Foreclosed Properties" (the "Act") will take effect in Massachusetts. The Act is designed to clear legal title for Massachusetts homeowners who purchased homes with a prior foreclosure, by limiting the time period that former homeowners can challenge the foreclosure sale. The Act should be seen as welcome relief to the industry, but as detailed below, the Act still has some limitations. Indeed, like most rules governing foreclosure-related litigation, attorneys representing individuals that are the subject of a foreclosure action will inevitably try to find ways to challenge the Act and seek to avoid its intended and desired results.

Former AC/DC Bassist Paul Matters Reportedly Dies
Former AC/DC bassist Paul Matters died at home in Australia, author Jesse Fink reported.
Described by the band as a "pretty boy," he was fired by Bon Scott in 1975 after only being in the group for a matter of weeks, and soon gave up music altogether. He'd lived a reclusive life since then, only speaking about his time in the band once in 40 years.
In Fink's 2017 book Bon: The Last Highway, Matters said: "I was only with them a short time. I did the High Voltage tour around Australia." He recalled how Scott dismissed him, saying: "He got out the back of a truck… and he told me I wasn't going back to Melbourne with them. We were up in Sydney doing a concert for schoolkids. So I didn't play that day. I just turned around and didn't say a word to him. I turned around and walked out."
He said he'd loved playing live but was less at home in the studio. "I was just a bit lazy, I think," he explained, and went on to report that he'd been upset by being left without money to buy food. "The tour manager came in with a bundle of 20s and he gave $20 out to each of us… He was just going to walk about. And I said, 'Listen, mate, if you're not going to give me any money, I'll go now.' So he gave me $20." Matters reported that he was still "gutted" by his treatment, which led to him selling his bass and giving up music. "Every day I kick myself, mate," he added. "It can be a ruthless business… Money. It can break a person."
A former colleague in an earlier band, Les Gully, said in the book that Matters "didn't really fit" AC/DC because he "had strong opinions and sensitivity, and played just what he liked." A friend, Paul Wescombe, paid tribute by saying: "I recall he could always make me laugh when he was in the mood. After leaving New South Wales I lost contact with him as did many other people over the years. From all reports he lived a reclusive life in his later years and his early rock n' roll life style led to ailing health. He will be missed by all who knew him."

Social-One ha partecipato al Terzo Forum dell'International Sociological Association che si è tenuto a Vienna con il paper "Agape in Action: Overabound in Social Life" (abstract).
Agape in Action: Overabound in Social Life.
Why sometimes people use own resources to help unknown others? What drives an entrepreneur to adopt expensive socially responsible behaviours? What prompts a public employee to spend time with a customer outside the working hours?
In every-day life there many social phenomena based on un-conditionality, disinterestedness, overabound. Such phenomena remain outside the field of explanation of approaches such as rational choice theory or neo-utilitarianism, being described as paradoxes of social action. But also solidarity or gift theories do not provide sufficient explanation for phenomena in which group identity or social ties are not the main motivations of action.
Drawing from critical theories, we propose to (re)introduce the sociological concept of agape-love as a theoretical frame for those social mechanisms that elude reification, quantifiability, instrumental thinking.
Agape-love, as formerly introduced by Luc Boltanski (1990), is focused on the present, avoiding any consequence calculation, refuses comparison and equivalence, doesn't involve reciprocity. According to Boltanski, agape must remain unaware for social agents, as any intentionality would lead action away from pure disinterestedness. We propose to reconceptualise agape, integrating it with theoretical insights by different social scientists (such as Honneth and Sorokin), with new reflexive and institutional accounts, and provide it with empirical foundation (Iorio, 2014).
We present the case of "suspended goods" and read it with the look of agape.
It is a relatively recent practice widespread in various fields (examples are suspended groceries, suspended books, suspended holidays) that consists in purchasing goods or services, which will be actually consumed by others who cannot afford them.
We argue that agape is a powerful concept, capable of linking micro and macro levels, useful both to enlighten agents' motivations in apparent non-rational (choice) situations, but also to describe the aggregate effects of collective behaviours that produce alternative economic regimes or welfare systems.
