Clinton's comment proves presidential race itself to be "deplorable"

William Flannery
One of the most unfortunate aspects of this presidential election is the array of unsophisticated attacks meant to degrade and belittle the opposing side. The use of these terms have no place in a political setting, especially when we are deciding the future leader of our country, yet their copious use has made irrational name calling synonymous with politics.
Usually, we hear news of presidential candidate Donald Trump using these tactics, but now Hillary Clinton has contributed a vulgar comment to an already ludicrously hostile presidential race. Clinton called "half" of Trump's supporters "a bag of deplorables." What makes this comment especially harmful is how it targets voters rather than Trump himself, and while Clinton has apologized, the damage to her and this election's integrity has already been done.
The primary issue is how "grossly generalistic," as Clinton stated, her claim was. She intended to discuss "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, [and] Islamophobic" supporters specifically, but even then that's a generalization of Trump's supporters.
Even if these people can be found among his crowd, you don't need to say "half" to be generalizing all of his followers. When you give such a strong association to members of a group, it affects all of them. Chances are, most of Trump's supporters don't believe in any of these ideals and support him for reasons not associated with bigotry. However, they have now been branded with these terms and are associated with hateful acts they take no part in.
Then there's the word Clinton used to mark Trump's followers: deplorable. The gravity of this word's connotation can leave a strong impact. She is stating that all of Trump's supporters deserve to be strongly condemned, that they are all awful people who must receive punishment.
If Clinton wanted to expose Trump's ideology and ethics then she should have targeted him specifically as the face and source of his campaign. While his supporters mostly agree with his statements, they may not see eye-to-eye with every one of his ideas. They are still diverse human beings, they are not clones of Trump.
Some of them may have just become conservative and may be voting for him reluctantly, while others might be strongly devoted to him. The point is, candidates should be targeting the actions of other candidates, not their supporters. If something happens with the supporters, the leaders they follow should be blamed, as they are the source of ideological passion.
When I turn on the news to see that the vicious name-calling has branched to supporters, it only lessens my faith in this presidential election. Not only has this damaged Clinton's integrity, but has punctured this political race. Are harmful slurs the only way to motivate voters today? It seems that our potential future leaders are using our hatred to raise their platforms, igniting our anger into a disruptive form.
Whether it's Trump or Clinton, the copious amount of abhorrent attacks are creating a deeper divide in our nation. I can't put my faith into a political race that has become a battleground for vulgar hostility and inciting hatred. How can I support either candidate if I might be reprimanded for the actions of who I support, or generalized with people I have no association with?
If this election year reflects America when one runner takes the oval office, then we are going to need a drastic change. Conservatives and liberals shouldn't be inspired to use hate against each other, they should be trained to debate in a sophisticated manner.
When you were young, it was perfectly fine to do something if you saw your parents do it. This is the same dynamic that is affecting our society today, and if our leaders behave irresponsibly then Americans are sure to follow.
Comments on articles are screened and those determined by editors to be crude, overly mean-spirited or that serve primarily as personal attacks will not be approved. The Editorial Review Board, made up of 11 student editors and a faculty adviser, make decisions on content.

CATF announces 24th season humanities event
By Staff | Jul 24, 2014
The Contemporary American Theater Festival at Shepherd University has announced its 2014 Humanities events. The events, produced in tandem with CATF's repertory season, will feature playwrights Christina Anderson, Charles Fuller (winner of the 1982 Pulitzer Prize for Drama), Thomas Gibbons, Bruce Graham, and Chisa Hutchinson; CATF will also host guest speakers Miranda Petersen (Protect Our Defenders Foundation), Bruce Duncan and the Bina48 Artificial Intelligence unit (Terasem Movement Foundation), Theresa M. Davis (University of Virginia), Dr. Julia Sandy-Bailey (Shepherd University), and David Leong (Theatre VCU).
In addition, the Theater Festival will present two stage readings of new plays from acclaimed novelist Walter Mosley and CATF commissioned playwright Barbara Hammond as well as an art exhibition by Scott Cawood.
In all, "Humanities at the Festival" features a series of free lectures, stage readings, post-show discussions, thematic classes, late-night salons, and art exhibitions on the Shepherd University campus in Shepherdstown. In addition, patrons will also have the opportunity to purchase tickets to audience immersion events including lunches with artists and breakfast with the Theater Festival's founder and Producing Director, Ed Herendeen. Programming is supported by a generous grant from the West Virginia Humanities Council.
CATF Humanities Director Amy Brooks expressed her enthusiasm for this season's lineup of academics, scientists, artists, and advocates. "At CATF, we believe that great theater doesn't end when the lights come up. Great theater poses a series of questions to everyone who engages with it, from the Producing Director to production crews to audience members. The questions follow you home, keep you mulling over images and ideas at 3 a.m., and may even change the way you encounter the world the next morning. In other words: CATF is committed to making theater that makes meaning for ourselves and for our patrons in D.C., in Baltimore, and right here in Shepherdstown. And that meaning would be incomplete without a full program of fantastic Humanities speakers and events to supplement our 24th season of Think Theater."

Q: How to receive reply via sms using any amazon service I'm using the amazon SNS(Simple Notification Service) service to publish SMS/Emails but I did not found any way to receive reply from user.
Any user can subscribe or unsubscribe to receive messages but he/she can not send any reply to sender.
Please suggest any idea to implement the logic to receive reply via amazon service.
Thanks in Advance.

A: SNS is for notifications and you can can't receive the replies.
Instead you can use Simple Email Service (SES) : http://aws.amazon.com/ses/
If you need email template management, mail-merge variables etc (more specific email needs), you can consider third party services like: Mailchimp or Mandril.

We will continue to follow the guidelines and protocols of the appropriate medical professionals. I know our athletics program, including our men's basketball student-athletes, coaches and staff will continue to do an excellent job being proactive and following the appropriate protocols."

Q: Scripting for .NET deployment I am researching various options for deploying a batch of .NET applications.  Deployment is more than just copying files, we need to stop/start services, call an EXE file that executes database scripts, initiate a number of setup.exe installs, etc.
These scripts will be given to a third-party who will apply various application updates to our various customers servers.
The two best options appear to be CS-Script and PowerShell, but I'll let the voting decide.
UPDATE:  Based on the responses so far I feel like I should clarify.  First, the people applying the updates will be system administrator types; not end users.  So, in this case, a full-blown installer WiX, Wise, etc. is probably overkill.
Second, it IS safe to assume that .NET 2.0 and even PowerShell (or CS-Script, or whatever) will be installed on these machines.  We are creating the images so we can specify what gets installed.  The trouble is once we decide on an image, outside of the application updates we will be scripting it will be very difficult to install "new" applications.

A: I recommend WiX for creating installers. It has all the power needed to get good jobs done, and it is free, supported by microsoft, declarative and extensible. It nicely integrates into VisualStudio and the MSBuild-Process as well.

A: Comparing CS-Script and PowerShell, here are some advantages of CS-Script over PowerShell:

*

*CS-Script is lighter-weight and easier to deploy. http://www.csscript.net/help/Deployment.html says: "distribute the script engine executable (cscs.exe/csws.exe) along with the script itself".

*C# is a widely accepted language with an easily-accessible debugger. PowerShell is yet-another-language to learn.

*C# can optionally be compiled

A: It really all depends on what you are comfortable with and how the end user if any will be using it.  All scripting languages will allow you to do what you want.  You could even use a simple batch script to accomplish this.
If there are going to be end users involved and they are not expected to be system administrators I would suggest going with a full installer.  This way they are graphically  told what is being done.  If it is for system administrators or just for your self use what ever scripting language lets you get it done first even if it is VBS.

A: The downside to using PowerShell as a scripiting environment for deployment is that you have to ensure that target computers have .NET Framework 2.0 and PowerShell.  To do this you'll need a script and hence you're back to the original question minus PowerShell.
I love PowerShell as a scripting environment.  It's easy to use, flexible and can easily handle deployment scenarios.  Also, since it runs on .NET and you're deploying .NET, there is less overhead for internal people to look at and debug the script.
Personally, I would take the hit to have a bootstrap script that ensures PowerShell is installed and then use PowerShell as the actual deployment script.

A: It sounds like you're looking to make a wrapper package for installing and setting up a number of other things...
As a former Windows installer developer, I can highly recommend NSIS for an easy to create and fully script driven installer process. There are tons of plugins available for NSIS that will allow you to run external programs, start and stop services, capture command line output, and basically do anything you can imagine within their scripting language.
Link for NSIS: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page

A: We've taken a variety of approaches. In the end, what has been working well for us is:

*

*Normal Executables with good command line handling.

*Libraries exposed to scripting (F#, IronPython, CS-Script) for operations.

*msbuild (calling exexcutables, sometimes custom tasks, sometimes scripts)

Speculative: Consider using MS Deploy (at RC1). It does most of what you need to do. I'm evaluating now.
What works poorly: Having a hodgepodge of the above + batch files. As time goes on, everything will tend to moves into executables and installation libraries as it is the technology that can handle all tasks and scale. Mandatory user interface steps are evil and force manual installation.
CS-Script and Powershell both have drawbacks. CS-Script - clunky assembly referencing schemes. Powershell: few people can stand to look at it. Do a proof of concept in each before going with these - maybe you'll like them better than I did. My experience is light for these - after proof of concept I switched off to IronPython.

How to Be a Gentleman in the Modern Age
By Brianne Hogan Last updated on November 10, 2018 May 31, 2021
Dating today has changed from the days of yore. We swipe right instead of exchanging handwritten love letters. We meet at bars instead of being picked up. We go dutch on dates instead of expecting the man to pick up the check all the time. And while dating etiquette needs to change with the times too, there are certain traditions, particularly those related to romance and respect, that never go out of style.
The truth is, the basic fundamentals of courting as a true gentleman are as true now than they were back in the days of "Downton Abbey." It's been said chivalry is dead. But that doesn't mean it can't be resuscitated.
Here are some tips on how to be a gentleman in the modern age.
Be consistent.
Don't underestimate the power of consistency. If you say you're going to call her on Monday night, call her on Monday night. If you've gotten into a habit of texting her every morning, save emergencies and the occasional lapse, keep texting her every morning. If you can't, let her know and tell her when you will contact her. The same goes for punctuality. If you say you'll meet her at the restaurant at 7:00, be there promptly for 7:00—although earlier is better. Consistency helps build connection and trust within a relationship, as well as speaks volumes on how much you respect and value someone.
Give her your attention.
This means shutting off your phone on a date. You're not checking for texts or emails, or the latest tweet. All of your attention should be on her, which also means consistent eye contact. No wandering eyes on the waitress, no looking around at the patrons or at your shoes during awkward silences. While you don't want to stare into her eyes all night without blinking, maintaining eye contact is an excellent indicator that you're actively listening to her and is the surest way of creating connection and intimacy.
Understand "ladies, first"
While understanding and adhering to "ladies, first" might sound a tad traditional for modern dates, it's an underrated form of romance that's often neglected nowadays. "Ladies, first" means opening all of the doors for her, and allowing her to leave or enter a car, a building, wherever, first. When being seated at a restaurant, allow her to go first. When ordering, have her request her meal first with the server. When do you lead? When there is a crowded place, such as a concert or a busy nightclub, and you clear the path for her, casually taking her by the arm. A gesture like this might not seem like a big deal, but it definitely helps make an impression.
Don't make the connection all about sex.
While sex is an important and fun part of dating and relationships, a gentleman doesn't enter a connection pushing sex first. A gentleman doesn't ogle his date nor does he compliment her solely as "sexy" or "hot." Don't turn every conversation into a sexually charged one, and not every texting session needs to lead to a sexting one.
You're patient.
A true gentleman is able to gauge the natural ebb and flow of his connection with his date. He's able to tune into her needs and pick up on her body language in order to make her feel comfortable and at ease. He doesn't rush the organic rhythm of the relationship, including sex and commitment. He knows the importance of cooling his jets so that he's able to forge an authentic connection with his lady. That means knowing when to lean in for a kiss or knowing whether you should suggest going back to your place for a nightcap. A true gentleman doesn't rush a woman.
You don't ghost or cling.
A gentleman doesn't overstay his welcome, and will bow out gracefully if a connection is fizzling out. He won't cling onto a relationship that's no longer working or bother a woman after she's told him they're through. On the flip side, a true gentleman won't leave a woman hanging either. If it's time for a relationship to progress to the next level, he won't hesitate to make moves. And if he isn't feeling it, he will communicate his feelings and tell a woman that he no longer wishes to see her. A gentleman doesn't breadcrumb or ghost. He's honest and truthful, especially when the going gets tough.
Being a gentleman today doesn't have to be difficult. It's simply holding higher standards for yourself and making the effort to establish trust and intimacy within your connections. It means consistently demonstrating respect and attention towards the object of your affection so that you set yourself apart from the rest of the modern Neanderthals. P.S. Showing up with a bouquet of flowers doesn't hurt either.

The Rakuten Accelerator, powered by Techstars, saw its first cohort of 10 startups present their products to an audience of global investors at the program's Demo Day at the National Museum of Singapore last month.
The October 10 event saw graduates of the Rakuten Accelerator sharing the results of three months of intensive work, revealing pilot programs involving several of Rakuten's core global services, including Rakuten Marketing and Rakuten Viber, as well as Japan-based services Rakuten Super Points and Rakuten Beauty. By melding Singapore's historical heritage with Rakuten's technological focus, the day provided an optimal setting for mixing and mingling between entrepreneurs, investors and other members of the startup community.
Demo Day saw companies ranging from document collaboration platform Additor and AI-powered mobile lender AND Global to Hungarian startup Talk-A-Bot take the stage to share their corporate missions with an audience of Rakuten executives, venture capitalists and angel investors.
"I have been very impressed with [participants'] ideas, motivation, courage and spirit to change the world, and have deep respect for them as true entrepreneurs," said Hiroshi Takasawa, President of Rakuten Capital and CEO of Rakuten Asia, on stage at Rakuten Accelerator Demo Day in Singapore.
Considering the promising enterprises that this pioneering cohort of startups were able to generate in such a short period of time, the sky appears to be the limit for their growth.

This is a beautiful town that serves as the capital of Wangdue Phodrang district in the exalted Kingdom of Bhutan. It is one of the largest districts or dzongkhags of the kingdom covering 4308 sq. km of the area and located at a height of 800-5800 m which gives it vastly varied climatic conditions. While the south is covered in subtropical forests, the north of the district witnesses a cool, snowy weather. The town of Wangdue Phodrang shares its name with a famous dzong that was built here in 1638. It is the last western town on the highway before entering central Bhutan.
Ngawang Namgyal, the Zhabdrung Rinpoche (1594-1651) was a high Drukpa lineage lama from Tibet who is known to have founded the state of Bhutan. He succeeded in uniting the warring kingdoms of the valley and brought them under a single ruler. He was in search of the best location to build a dzong (fort-monastery) to prevent incursions from the south. According to legend, he met a boy named Wangdi on the bank of Punak Tsang Chhu river and named his dzong Wangdi Phodrang that was later renamed to Wangdue Phodrang. The town is still locally known as Wangdi.
Fly into Paro Airport, Bhutan's only airport. There are daily buses to Wangdue Phodrang from Phuentsholing, Thimpu, and Paro. The town is 106 km away from Thimpu, 214 km from Gelephu and 261 km from Phuentsholing.

Wangdue Phodrang has a rich tapestry of tourist spots with historic, religious and cultural importance.
The dzong sits on a hilltop above the confluence of the rivers Punatsangchhu and Dhangchhu. Founded in 1639, the strategic position of the fort-monastery gave the governor of the district control over the routes to Trongsa, Punakha, Dagana and Thimpu. The dzong caught fire in 2012 and parts of it are still under reconstruction.
The monastery was founded by Je Kuenga Gyaltshen in 1613 in Gangtey Gewog, atop a hill overlooking the Phobjikha valley. The annual crane festival is held in this monastery.
An important wildlife preserve, this is where the black-necked cranes come to roost in winter. It is also home to the leopards, wild boars, barking deer, sambars, Himalayan black bears, serows and red foxes. The valley is extremely beautiful and serene and it is a great route for biking.

Also, called Rada Lhakhang, the temple of Sha Radap is dedicated to the guardian deity of the Wangdue region. It is a local custom to pay a visit to the goddess with a newborn child for her blessing and to get them named by the presiding monks. There is an interesting custom of rolling the dice kept in the temple compound and wishing.
It is a large protected natural reserve containing musk deer, goat antelopes, red pandas, wild boars, golden langurs, tigers, clouded leopards, 270 species of birds and 139 species of butterflies.

Astarita iniziò la sua attività di operista nel 1765 collaborando con Niccolò Piccinni nella composizione dell'opera L'orfana insidiata. Successivamente mise in scena Il corsaro algerino nel 1765 e Tra i due litiganti il terzo gode nel 1766. Nel 1770 fu nominato maestro di cappella a Napoli; per l'occasione compose L'astuta cameriera. Nel 1779 fu a Venezia per terminare un'opera di Tommaso Traetta, Gli eroi dei Campi Elisi. Nel 1780 si diresse a Bratislava per rappresentare le opere  La Didone abbandonata, Il trionfo della Pietà e L'isola disabitata. Viaggiò per tre volte in Russia dove ebbe successo rappresentando svariate sue opere.

Morì nel 1803, probabilmente tornando in Italia dalla Russia.

Compositore dallo stile affine a quello di Pasquale Anfossi, nel suo tempo riuscì a riscuotere moltissimi consensi, soprattutto grazie alle sue arie ben riuscite.

Over 21,000 ships
Weather station Kurt erected in Labrador in 1943
The U-537 made the only armed German landing on North American soil in WWII.
U-537 left Kiel, Germany on September 18, 1943. She made a brief stop in Bergen, Norway and headed out to sea again on 30 Sept. The boat went on patrol in the western North Atlantic under Kptlt. Peter Schrewe. Its task was to set up an automatic weather station on the coast of Labrador. U-537 carried a scientist, Dr. Kurt Sommermeyer, and Wetter-Funkgerät (WFL) number 26 (the sixth in a series of 21 such stations) manufactured by Siemens. It consisted of various measuring instruments, a 150-watt Lorenz 150 FK-.type transmitter and ten canisters with nickel-cadmium and dry-cell high-voltage batteries.
On October 22 U-537 arrived at Martin Bay at the northern tip of Labrador. For the next 48 hours U-537 lay at anchor while the crew manhandled the 220-pound canisters, along with a tripod and mast, into rubber boats and then onshore. The weather station was set up 400 yards inland on a 170 feet high hill. At 5:40 P.M. on October 23, having ensured that the station was functioning properly, Schrewe weighed anchor and set off for an anti-shipping patrol off Newfoundland. His patrol was uneventful and on December 8 U-537 returned to Lorient, France.
Reports indicate that the weather station sent out normal transmissions for a few days, but then there was apparent jamming on that frequency (about which nothing is known; no evidence has yet turned up that the Allies learned about the equipment).
U-537 was transferred to the Far East and sunk with all hands on board in late 1944 - only Dr. Sommermeyer and crew member, who had left the boat prior to the its transfer to the Far East, survived the war.
The station remained unknown until ...
Thus the station was a secret known only by a handful German seamen and scientists. The story became known in the late 1970s, when an engineer named Franz Selinger after his retirement from Siemens decided to write a history of the German weather service. Among Dr. Sommermeyer's papers he found photographs of one weather station and a U-boat that did not fit in with the eastern Arctic installations he had previously been able to identify (Greenland and Svalbard). He identified the Labrador coast, but neither Canadian nor American authorities could provide evidence. Via Jürgen Rohwer and the son of Dr. Sommermeyer he then identified the U-537 and located the logbook at the archives in Freiburg.
In 1980 he wrote to the official historian of the Canadian armed forces, W.A.B. Douglas (who has written an article in MHQ). Douglas and the Canadian Coast Guards were able to go and look and actually found the remains of the weather station. Some parts were missing, but the canisters, tripod and mast, and some dry-cell batteries was left to identify.
The current location of weather station Kurt
Kurt as displayed at the Canadian War Museum, Ottawa.
After the rediscovery of the station in the 1980s by the Canadian Coast Guard (following press articles etc. on the subject), it was dismantled and brought to the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. This unique historical artefact from the war is now on permanent, public display (see photo) at the Canadian War Museum.

Another weather station in Labrador planned
In July 1944, the U-867 reportedly set out from Norway to erect a second weather station in Labrador but was sunk en route by RAF planes.

Stephen Piscotty on MLB award: "It's a little bittersweet."
Oakland A's outfielder Stephen Piscotty wins the Fred Hutchinson award for his ALS work
Oakland Athletics players have a moment of silence for Oakland Athletics' Stephen Piscotty's mom Gretchen Piscotty before their MLB game against the Houston Astros at the Coliseum in Oakland, Calif., on Monday, May 7, 2018. Piscotty, 55, died less than a year after being diagnosed with ALS, a neuromuscular disorder also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.(Jane Tyska/Bay Area News Group)
By Mike Pettica Correspondent |
CLEVELAND — Stephen Piscotty is humbled and appreciative to be recognized for his character and efforts to help others.
He admits, though, there would have been a better way.
"It's nice, but it's a little bittersweet," the A's outfielder said Tuesday after learning he has been named the recipient of the 54th annual Hutch Award. "If Mom doesn't get ALS, you don't have to go through this.
"I would rather take that route, but it's not the cards we were dealt. It is very meaningful, to bring some positivity to the situation, and hopefully we can carry that momentum and do some special things as far as curing ALS."
Piscotty's mother, Gretchen, died at age 55 last May 6, less than a year after being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also called Lou Gehrig's disease. Gehrig, the legendary Yankees first baseman, died of ALS in 1941, two years after he was forced into retirement when being diagnosed with the disease.
In his first game back from bereavement leave, Stephen Piscotty honored his late mother by hitting a home run.
Piscotty, with his father, Mike, and brothers Nick and Austin, launched the ALS CURE Project to fund research on curing the disease. Piscotty was traded to the A's by the St. Louis Cardinals on Dec. 14, 2017, to allow him to be closer to his family in Pleasanton.
Fred Hutchinson, a longtime major league pitcher and manager, died of cancer in 1964, inspiring the award named in his honor and awarded to a player who "best exemplifies the fighting spirit and competitive desire."
Piscotty will be honored July 18 at the Hutch Award Luncheon at Seattle's T-Mobile Park. The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, which names the award winner, is in Seattle.
"I'm very thankful for the organization recognizing me, and giving us that platform," Piscotty said before the A's game against the Indians.
Hutch Award winners include 14 Hall of Famers. Piscotty was also named the 2018 recipient of the Tony Conigliaro Award.
"(The Hutch Award) is a huge award," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "It's just another feather in (Piscotty's) cap, what he's all about.
"He's not a 'look at me' type of guy, but he's out there in the community, working for his cause, and he's serious about it. So that's quite an honor for him."

Piscotty was with the Cardinals when their standout starting pitcher, Adam Wainwright, was named the 2016 recipient of the Hutch Award.
The A's nominated Piscotty for the honor. Giants catcher Buster Posey was among the seven other nominees.
"Some big names have been honored, and it's an honor in itself to kind of be alongside them," Piscotty said. "Obviously, it stands for a great cause. It's really, really special."

A murder at the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond, Virginia, bears a close resemblance to one in Trondheim, Norway. The corpse of the museum curator in Virginia is found flayed in his office by the cleaning staff; the corpse of an archivist at the library in Norway, is found inside a locked vault used to store delicate and rare books. Richmond homicide detective Felicia Stone and Trondheim police inspector Odd Singsaker find themselves working on similar murder cases, committed the same way, but half a world away. And both murders are somehow connected to a sixteenth century palimpsest book—The Book of John—which appears to be a journal of a serial murderer back in 1529 Norway, a book bound in human skin.
A runaway bestseller in Norway, Jørgen Brekke's Where Monsters Dwell has since sold to over fourteen countries. Where Monsters Dwell is the most awaited English language crime fiction debut in years.
Where Monsters Dwell by Jørgen Brekke is a highly recommended murder mystery for fans of Thomas Harris' The Silence of the Lambs.
Originally published in Norway, Where Monsters Dwell by Jørgen Brekke follows a serial killer who is discovered through the investigations into two murders. The crimes are eerily similar - both involve flayed corpses with the heads removed - only one murder is in Richmond, Virginia, while the other is in Trondheim, Norway. Clues in both crimes show a connection to an old, rare book. Investigators in this mystery are Richmond homicide detective Felicia Stone and Trondheim police inspector Odd Singsaker. But at the heart of the book is the story of the rare Johannes Book and a set of knives. It was an odd collection of texts from the 1500s, written on parchment by a mendicant monk, who seems to know a lot about anatomy.
The plot itself, with its multiple narratives, is complicated but most readers are going to be able to follow the action and keep the characters straight. Storylines include those in Richmond, Trondheim, and from the original writer of the rare book, starting in 1528. Where Monsters Dwell opens with the murder of a mother and child and then jumps back in time to 1528 before returning to the present. These transitions from place to place and back and forth in time continue throughout the book, keeping all narratives moving along at an equally frantic pace.
This is a well written, intelligent mystery. Brekke provides a plethora of information and clues for the reader, along with one character, Siri, who gives actual mini-lectures on how to evaluate a crime novel. Where Monsters Dwell reads smoothly, so I'm assuming that there were no problems in translation. There are a few little descriptions/comments to which those living in the USA might object or at least shake their heads.
There are parts that are disturbing and gruesome, so this may not be a good choice for those who prefer cozy mysteries. There are also several sexual scenes that seem gratuitous and don't really add to the actual plot. There were a few times when descriptions made me shake my head, such as this description of Felicia: "She'd recently passed thirty, but she still looked young." Really? Maybe that is because she IS young.
In the end this is a satisfying mystery. Hopefully we can look forward to more novels by Brekke translated from the Norwegian since it appears that this might be the start of a series featuring Felicia and Odd as an investigative team in Norway.

Enseña a matar bien a los enemigos, dueños y servidores. Es quien suscita las discordias y disputas.
Es protector de asesinos, ladrones  y aficionados.

Pékin Express : Le Choix secret est la  (toutes saisons confondues) de Pékin Express, émission de télévision franco-belgo-luxembourgeoise de téléréalité, diffusée chaque semaine sur M6, à partir du 16 février 2023. Elle est présentée par Stéphane Rotenberg, désigné comme directeur de course. Il y a de nombreuses nouveautés comme le choix secret : à la fin de chaque étape, tous les binômes choisissent le binôme qu'il souhaite voir affronter le dernier binôme de l'étape sur la tablette. La roulette infernale fait aussi son apparition : au cours d'une étape, Stéphane tourne la roulette et la roulette indique un handicap pour tous les binômes.

Production et organisation

Principe
Comme pour chaque saison de Pékin Express, chaque équipe gère un budget équivalent à un euro par jour et par personne.
Cet argent est alloué à l'achat de nourriture et doit être utilisé uniquement pendant les heures de course. Pour leur progression, les équipes doivent pratiquer l'auto-stop, et se faire offrir le gîte et le couvert la nuit tombée. Chaque équipe se voit attribuer une balise leur permettant d'être notifiés du début et de la fin de la course. Cette balise doit être remise au directeur de course (Stéphane Rotenberg), action marquant alors la fin de l'aventure.

Règles habituelles
Voir la partie "Principe" de la page Pékin Express, pour connaître les règles habituelles.

Nouveautés
Le choix secret est une nouvelle règle de cette  saison. Désormais, ce n'est plus l'équipe arrivée en dernière position à la fin de l'étape qui décidera de ses adversaires pour le duel final. Chaque binôme susceptible de participer au duel final, sont donc exceptés les vainqueurs de l'étape et les immunisés, se voit remettre une tablette avec les portraits des candidats. Ils doivent sélectionner le portrait d'un binôme pour voter contre lui. Le binôme qui comptabilise le plus de voix participe au duel final contre les derniers de l'étape. Ce choix, qui comme son nom l'indique reste secret, peut être purement stratégique. Un binôme peut par exemple choisir d'envoyer l'équipe avec qui ils ont le moins d'affinités, ou bien au mérite, etc. En cas d'égalité, ce sont les derniers de l'étape qui décident de leurs adversaires parmi les binômes à égalité.

The concept of Brach's Strawberry Vampire Teeth Candy Corn is so clever. White candy corn tipped in red is an absolutely perfect candy creation in honor of the Halloween holiday. Unfortunately, strawberry candy corn are so icky. The strawberry tastes of chemicals--even the aroma is unpleasant. I think Brach's should bring back this concept but with either Cherry, Fruit Punch, or Cinnamon flavors. In the meantime, there are too many traditional candy corns waiting to be consumed to waste your time with this strawberry variety.

Ideahub's Helios Streaming Tags Fandango, Comcast, Weeks After a New Pantech Sues BLU Products
Market Sectors: Media Content and Distribution, Mobile Communications and Devices
Delaware plaintiff Helios Streaming, LLC (as exclusive licensee) and its Korean parent Ideahub, Inc. (as patent owner) have followed up their January case against Fandango (8:21-cv-00211) with a new suit against Comcast (NBC Universal Media, Peacock TV) (8:21-cv-00259). The two cases fall within a media streaming campaign in which the plaintiffs target "the standard for dynamic adaptive streaming delivery of MPEG media over HTTP, ISO/IEC 23009-1:2014, and subsequent versions of this standard" (MPEG-DASH). Both were filed in the Central District of California wing of the campaign, in which District Judge James V. Selna just held a claim construction hearing; a Markman hearing in the Delaware cases is currently scheduled for this May.
The plaintiffs assert three patents (10,270,830; 10,313,414; 10,356,145) in each new case in the campaign, adding assertion of a fourth (10,362,130) against Fandango only. These patents-in-suit form a subset of those already at issue across the earlier cases in the campaign, filed against CBS (Showtime), Crackle, Sony, and Walmart (VUDU) in the District of Delaware and against Lions Gate Entertainment (Starz Entertainment) in the Central District of California. Those patents break out into seven members from a family of ten (8,645,562; 8,909,805; 9,325,558; 9,467,493; 10,027,736; 10,277,660; and the '130 patent); two members of a family of four (the '830 and '414 patents); and a single patent from each of two more families, one having two members (10,375,373) and the other three (the '145 patent).
The originally development work was conducted, in whole or in part, by the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), with an August 2018 assignment agreement from Ideahub to Helios, filed with the USPTO, revealing that ETRI, Intellectual Discovery Co., Ltd., and Korea Aerospace University having each retained an interest in assertion efforts based on the terms of an earlier agreement executed in April 2018 (and apparently not attached to the relevant assignment records). For a walk-through of what those filed documents reveal, see "Recent Media Streaming Campaign Expands Outside of Delaware" (November 2019).
On its public website, Ideahub describes itself as a Korean patent monetization firm, based in Seoul, hoping to "be a connecting port for such [] ideas, just like a HUB airport". Kyeong-su "Keith" Im identifies himself as having been the CEO and president of Ideahub since October 2016. He reports past work with LG Electronics, from January 1996 through April 2012, with a subsequent position (as "IP Licensing Director") with Intellectual Discovery from May 2012 to June 2013, followed by the time as "Senior Director" with TiVo/Rovi (Rovi having acquired TiVo in 2016).
Providing an Irvine, California address, Helios Streaming was formed in Delaware in February 2018. It has advertised that it "has acquired and will continue to acquire intellectual property rights covering the necessary features and technologies utilized by the video streaming industry". Los Angeles attorney Emil Kim holds himself out as the entity's president and founder. Kim also identifies himself as having been a senior director of licensing at TiVo/Rovi since April 2014. Hyungseok "Harold" Ko served as the correspondent on the Ideahub-to-Helios license agreement; Ko was also the correspondent on the assignment of patents from ETRI to Ideahub. (In assignment records, Helios lists the same Delaware registered agent address as Ko—and as litigating NPE SynKloud Technologies, LLC—8 The Green, Suite A, Dover.)
Ideahub shares management with Glocom, Inc., the parent entity of litigating NPEs SIPCO LLC and Modern Telecom Systems, LLC. (Blockchain-centric LegalBlock includes Kyeong-su Im among its legal team, describing him as the CEO of both Ideahub and Glocom.) One point, litigation by Helios, Modern Telecom, and SIPCO appeared to have fit into a set of five "licensing programs" once described on Ideahub's website—IOT and Industrial Automation, Wireless & Telecommunication, MPEG Audio, AR & VR, and Video Entertainment—further consideration of which can be reviewed at "Former Imbera Electronics Assets Appear Headed Toward Assertion" (March 2020). The current iteration of Ideahub's public website seems to have streamlined the programs (now called "Licensing Platform [sic]") down to IOT Licensing, Streaming Licensing, and Telecommunications.
Despite that streamlining, Im's monetization efforts have recently expanded. In May 2020, NPE GoldPeak Innovations Inc. assigned more than 200 US patent assets, developed by one-time South Korean mobile phone maker Pantech, to Im's new vehicle, Pantech Corporation. GoldPeak picked up its Pantech portfolio from Pantech in a series of assignments dated in October 2016, subsequently transferring small batches of those assets back to Pantech (in April 2017), to Apple (in May 2017), and to Facebook (in February 2020). Youngjoon Rhee signed as GoldPeak's CEO in 2017, with Saekyung Park signing from that position in the May 2020 deal with the new Pantech Corporation. (That deal leaves GoldPeak holding a handful of issued US patents, at least according to currently available USPTO records.)
In late January, Im's Pantech sued BLU Products (1:21-cv-20327) over six of its received patents (6,809,641; 8,538,411; 8,787,216; 8,873,519; 9,237,566; 9,854,545) in the Southern District of Florida. That new complaint describes the former opco Pantech as the plaintiff's predecessor-in-interest, the plaintiff further outlining the situation: "Pantech Co., Ltd. was formed in 1991, and as the result of a restructuring and acquisition in 2015 became Pantech, Inc. Thereafter, Pantech Corporation was formed. Pantech, Inc. transferred its assets to Pantech Corporation as part of an asset sale in 2020", the complaint lumping all three entities under the umbrella "Pantech" moniker the rest of the way.
Earlier in its complaint, plaintiff Pantech indicates that it was formed in South Korea. Its public website currently declares that "[w]hile its smartphone business has been suspended, Pantech is currently involved with developing new cutting-edge technology in the Fourth Industrial Revolution". The new complaint describes the portfolio of "Pantech" (again, defined to include multiple iterations): "Pantech's portfolio of intellectual property is broad and extensive, comprising thousands of worldwide patents and patent applications in the areas of telecommunications, 'smart' devices, and Internet of Things products. Pantech's portfolio, in one aspect, covers wireless communication systems and devices and methods for using those communication systems. In the wireless technology space alone, Pantech holds more than 200 U.S. patents and applications, many of which have been declared standard essential patents".
All but the '641 patent generally relate to wireless communications, with initial infringement allegation targeting various smartphones over their support of certain cellular standards, including LTE and LTE Advanced. The '641 patent broadly pertains to temporarily disabling an alarm; the new Pantech accuses BLU Products of infringement through support within those smartphones of date-limited alarms.
The Comcast and Fandango cases have been assigned to Judge Selna. District Judge Marcia G. Cooke presides over Pantech's suit against BLU Products. 1/26, Pantech v. BLU Products, Southern District of Florida; 1/29, Ideahub/Helios v. Fandango, Central District of California; 2/9, Ideahub/Helios v. Comcast, Central District of California.

Iran & US State Department Are Lying
Iran, Riverine Command Boats, US Navy
Matthew Bracken comments on a Rick Moran American Thinker post:
I rarely pull out my dusty old trident, but in this case, here goes. I was a Navy SEAL officer in the 1980s, and this kind of operation (transiting small boats in foreign waters) was our bread and butter. Today, these boats both not only had radar, but multiple GPS devices, including chart plotters that place your boat's icon right on the chart. The claim by Iran that the USN boats "strayed into Iranian waters" is complete bull$#it.
For an open-water transit between nations, the course is studied and planned in advance by the leaders of the Riverine Squadron, with specific attention given to staying wide and clear of any hostile nation's claimed territorial waters. The boats are given a complete mechanical check before departure, and they have sufficient fuel to accomplish their mission plus extra. If, for some unexplainable and rare circumstance one boat broke down, the other would tow it, that's why two boats go on these trips and not one! It's called "self-rescue" and it's SOP.
This entire situation is in my area of expertise. I can state with complete confidence that both Iran and our own State Department are lying. The boats did not enter Iranian waters. They were overtaken in international waters by Iranian patrol boats that were so superior in both speed and firepower that it became a "hands up!" situation, with automatic cannons in the 40mm to 76mm range pointed at them point-blank. Surrender, hands up, or be blown out of the water. I assume that the Iranians had an English speaker on a loudspeaker to make the demand. This takedown was no accident or coincidence, it was a planned slap across America's face.
Just watch. The released sailors will be ordered not to say a word about the incident, and the Iranians will have taken every GPS device, chart-plotter etc off the boats, so that we will not be able to prove where our boats were taken.
The "strayed into Iranian waters" story being put out by Iran and our groveling and appeasing State Dept. is utter and complete BS from one end to the other.
6 Feedbacks on "Iran & US State Department Are Lying"
Thanks for that. It's nice to hear from someone with expertise as opposed to the usual WH/State Dept propaganda.
15 Jan 2016 um 7:31 pm
That answers some of the questions I had. I've never been in the military but I sail. And shmo sailing offshore has redundancy, and crazy not to have radar, and pretty good plotters. I couldn't imagine US Navy vessel being less well equipped than an off shore sailor.
It's also depressing as hell.
It is my understanding that the aircraft carrier Truman was in the Gulf at the time, in which case air cover was perhaps a half hour away at most. One would think that fighter aircraft would have been in orbit over these two boats and able to sink anything within 10 miles.
What happened to the air cover?
I'm reminded of those cop shows, when someone in the criminal world — an undercover cop or a snitch or even a real criminal — had to get something to the police. The police would make a show of a big arrest.
I know this is crazy conspiracy stuff, but what if, just maybe, part of the Iran "deal" was to give them access to some, uh, "things"? What a way to do it!

Tim, I have a former student that is currently flying F-18s off the Truman. It will be interesting to get his take on this, if, of course, he will talk about it. If he says anything like, "I can't say anything" we will know for sure that something is officially really, really wrong with this.
Okay. Now that for of the hostages that Iran held have "suddenly" been released, maybe my conspiracy idea is not so far fetched.


Discussion How do you know when SVPreprocess has successfully finshed?
I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question.
I'm coming from the world of gotcloud where when a step in the pipeline finishes a file called all.done gets created for that step. So in the event a pipeline crashe, I can re-execute the program and it will pickup where it left off.
I've been running SVPreprocess for over a week now. It's crashed a few times, usually due to memory limits but I've overcome those. At no point did I clear out the tmp folders or files.
I can't tell if it ever finished completely and I can move on with the next step in the CNV pipeline or if I'm starting from scratch each time.
Is there a file or a specific message I should look for?
SVPreprocess uses Queue, which allows restarting similar to gotcloud. You can look for .*.done files, which show that each step is done. Rerunning should not redo already completed work.
You should also see in the main output from SVPreprocess how many jobs have been run, how many have succeeded, how many failed, and how many are left to run.
If you are using cram files, preprocessing takes around 6-8 hours per sample depending on the speed of your compute node and if I/O is not a bottleneck. After each sample is preprocessed individually, there is by default a merging step which makes the dataset more efficient for downstream pipelines.
The merging step can be expensive depending on the number of samples in your dataset. If you have thousands of samples, you might consider merging in batches of 1000.
Okay I see the done files in the logs directory.
There doesn't seem to be a final "all.done" file though.
Is there a specific *.done file that indicates everything went well?
The standard output of SVPreprocess says 1179 total jobs ran.
